Take a hike
There are so many places to hike around the lake, all of them providing something unique and beautiful. One of the easier trails, but certainly one with lots to offer is the Rain Forest Nature trail. It begins soon after you enter the south shore area. Large trees, moss, waterfalls. It was quiet and peaceful. Other popular trails are the Falls Creek loop, or the Trail of the Giants.
This is a temperate rain forest. Subject to over 144 inches of rain annually, the trees grow large and the moss grows heavy. Sitka Spruce, Douglas fir, Western Hemlock and Red Cedars dominate the forest. Maple trees and vines are also prominent. Waterfalls are common and always rimmed with mosses, herbs, flowers, ferns and shade.
It doesn't take much to experience this, just park the car and take a short walk into the shade.- National/State Park

Buy something local
In Quinault there two general stores. One by the Lake Quinault Lodge and one just up the street by the Rain Forest Resort. They both have basic supplies and some really nice local crafts. I love to buy local.
And the local team won a state baseball championship...way to go!- National/State Park

North Shore Park Visitors Center
The South Shore of Lake Quinault is National Forest, and the North Shore is a remote part of the Olympic National Park. The lake itself is owned by the Quinault Indian Tribe. The single National Park Ranger who occupies the small visitor center on the North Shore has to enjoy the solitary life. In the summer guided tours of Maple Grove and the Big Cedar, clearing roads and trails keep him/her occupied. In the winter the visitors center is closed.

Take the Loop drive
The drive around the lake is essential. There are waterfalls, mountain views, dirt roads leading to major hikes into Olympic National park and its peaks. And on the north shore you will find the small park visitors center, old homestead, largest, and oldest Cedar tree and the most perfect picnic place (July Creek,,, one of the top 10 for sure). It was on the Maple Grove nature trail that I first began to sense what the forest was trying to tell me- go slow, breath deep, listen to the forest song. We were hoping to catch a glimpse of the Roosevelt Elk here, but they eluded us.

- National/State Park
The Big Cedar and Sitka Spruce
Each shore has their own big tree. The north shore has a very old and large and probably dying-but-still-has-some-life Big Western Red Cedar. The South Shore has a large Sitka Spruce. Each are easy to get to and see, and each are worth the effort.

Go boating, fishing...
Unfortunately we were unable to participate in the main lake activity. We were late in the season and the boat rentals were closed. But I wanted to mention it as possibility that given the time one could do.

I really like the design of the new page; the layout is simple but clear. However, there's one thing I don't like about the new page: it's missing a lot of information the old version provided. For instance, a direct link to the documentation of a package was displayed in the older version. Additional information, like a note on packages superceding an old package, etc., are also missing.

It would be really nice to see the new page looking good \emph{and} providing the full information for a package.

Quick Classic: Buffalo at Boston -- April 24, 1983
August 28, 2010

I want to share with you a couple of classic NHL clips you might remember seeing. These two videos are from the Adams Division Finals of 1983, which featured the Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres. The series ended up going to seven games, with the deciding game being played at the historic Boston Garden. The date was April 24. The man who called the goals you will hear in these two videos was the late Fred Cusick, and these games were originally broadcast on WSBK-TV Channel 38 in Boston. The first video is my own posting, the highlights from TV38 airing on Hockey Night in Canada, where Game 1 of the Campbell Conference Final was ongoing between Chicago and Edmonton; the second was poste...

My Personal Top 10 Hockey Games... As Seen on TV During the 2009-2010 Season
August 27, 2010
8 Comments
It's been said a great game is made by great players. This is my personal list of 10 great games from the 2009-10 season, and it's not confined to the NHL. This list is presented in no particular order; you can arrange them for yourself or you can add another candidate as an honorable mention. Olympics: Canada vs. United States (February 28, 2010) This is the game where virtually the entire country dropped everything to watch it, as it was for all the marbles, and home gold supremacy. It took a loss to the United States in a Round Robin match for Canada to regroup and learn from their mistakes. Canada jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Jonathan Toews (Chicago) and Corey Perry (An...

Is Eliminating Shootouts the Answer?
August 22, 2010
1 Comment
This Summer, the National Hockey League has been looking at ways to improve the game. From moving the faceoff circles to eliminating shootouts, NHL officials have targeted a few ideas that could be beneficial to the entire league. After the NHL lockout, the shootout came into effect and many fans were excited about it, as expected. The shootout was something rarely seen in real-life, and with the number of superstars around the NHL, it sounded like a promising idea. Now, five years later, the idea has not panned out as hoped. The shootout has even cost the New York Rangers to miss the playoffs, and allowed the Philadelphia Flyers to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals. The shootout's i...

Atlantic Division Preview
August 18, 2010
New Jersey- The Devils made some great moves in the offseason to already improve a team that finished 2nd in the Eastern Conference last season. The Devils added Anton Volchenkov and former Sabre Henrik Tallinder. Along with those two big defenseman, the Devils also acquired Johan Hedberg, who will backup Martin Brodeur, and Jason Arnott, who is now in his second stint with the club. The Devils remain a dangerous team with Brodeur in net, even though he is past his prime. Brodeur is still one of the best in the league at 38 years old. Zach Parise is the new star in New Jersey as he put up 82 points last season. The Devils have good veteran experience with players like Patrik Elias, Brian ...

(Gen. Ret.) Yevhen K. Marchuk (Ukrainian: Євген Кирилович Марчук), born on January 28, 1941, is a Ukrainian statesman and politician. During his career, Marchuk was prime minister of Ukraine, presidential candidate, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, and Defense Minister of Ukraine. Marchuk is affiliated with the Ukrainian Den newspaper, edited by his wife. He has been a general in the Army of Ukraine since March 23, 1994.
Yevhen Marchuk was born soon before World War II into a peasant family in Central Ukraine. In 1963,[1] upon graduation from the Kirovohrad Pedagogical Institute, Marchuk was recruited by the KGB and steadily rose through the ranks of that organization. As an operative officer he served first in Kirovohrad Oblast, then in the republican KGB branch in Kiev as an intelligence and secret service officer, for a total of 31 years of service. Marchuk has admitted specializing in secret police functions. However, he claims to have been a humane lawful agent, secretly protecting some Ukrainian dissidents from harsh persecution.[citation needed]
In the early 1990s, Marchuk was one of the first high-level KGB officers who appeared to be loyal to the newly established Ukrainian independence and was one of the reformers of the Ukrainian Secret Service (later SBU) serving as the first Chief of SBU. At first he was appointed the Ukrainian SSR Minister of National Security and Defence. That position held no actual power since local KGB, militsiya, and the army were still subordinated to Moscow until 1991. The Soviet Union then collapsed, ending Marchuk's service to the KGB, and he was able to participate fully in the Ukrainian independent government. He headed the SBU until 1994.[1]
After the 1994 parliamentary elections, Marchuk became head of the liberal Social Market Choice faction, whose members included former President Kravchuk.[2] Marchuk was appointed the acting Prime minister of Ukraine on March 1, 1995, holding the position of the first vice-Premier Minister in the cabinet of Vitaliy Masol. He was later promoted to the position of the Premier Minister on June 8, 1995. He formed his cabinet, which was confirmed on July 3, 1995. After being elected to the Verkhovna Rada (December 1995), he resigned on May 27, 1996. Marchuk and Kravchuk became members of the Social Democratic Party of Ukraine (united) before the 1998 elections.[3] From April to December 1998 he was the leader of the party. From July 1998 Marchuk headed a parliamentary committee in Social Policy and Labor.
When the SDPU(u) refused to back Marchuk in the 1999 presidential elections, he left to create his own Social Democratic Union.[2] He ran as an independent in the 1999 presidential election, coming in fifth place with 8.13% of the vote in the first tour of the elections, and was appointed secretary of the National Security and Defense Council by the re-elected President Leonid Kuchma. Marchuk was secretary of the National Security and Defense Council from November 10, 1999, to June 25, 2003 (till June 2009 he stayed on as chairperson of the council's interagency commission on information policy).[4] Later, he was the Defense Minister of Ukraine from June 2003 to September 2004.[1]
During the 2006 parliamentary elections Marchuk lead the electoral alliance (Electoral Bloc "Yevhen Marchuk" — "Unity")[5] (including his own party, Party of Freedom) which didn't make it into parliament, winning only 0.06% of the votes.[6]
On December 6, 2001, the Italian prosecutor's office accused Marchuk of violating the UN embargo on supplying arms to various parts of the world. The accusations remained, never investigated nor prosecuted.
Recent career developments[edit]
In May 2008, Marchuk was appointed one of the personal advisors to President Yushchenko.[7]

The Florida Department of Transportation closed one lane on the Siesta Key north bridge Monday, June 11, marking the start of nightly lane closures for construction expected to last until October.
The north bridge rehabilitation project officially began Tuesday, June 5, but machines, workers and construction materials trickled into the tiny parking lots on each side of the bridge during the following week. There is currently one lift machine and sheets of metal in the lot on the west side of the bridge.
A construction worker was spotted inspecting the road in the middle of the bridge with a flashlight June 11, prior to the lane closure; drivers are encouraged to use caution, even when both lanes are flowing freely. Speeding fines are doubled for that stretch of road when workers are present.

The first trade of the tenure of new Red Sox GM Ben Cherington came and went last week with relatively little fanfare. The Sox added a late-innings reliever (precise role TBD) in Mark Melancon, a pitcher whose profile as a closer remained obscure despite a very good season given that his first taste of the role occurred last year for an Astros team that won just 56 games.
On its surface, the Sox acquired a reliever -- a right-hander with a funky delivery who may or may not be the team's closer next year -- in exchange for a right-hander (Kyle Weiland) who is viewed as either a back-of-the-rotation starter or a late-innings reliever and an infielder (Jed Lowrie) with a significant offensive ceiling but whose inability to stay healthy (and, in turn, to remain on the field or sustain lengthy stretches of production) had left him without a defined position for the Sox.
In a vaccum, if Weiland emerges as a solid starter for the next six years for the Astros or if Lowrie remains healthy and becomes an everyday shortstop for the next three years in Houston, then it will be easy to conclude that, no matter how good Melancon is, the Astros got the better of the deal. After all, a reliever who works 60-80 innings per year is less valuable to a team than a 180-200 innings a year pitcher or a starter at a premium position.
The Astros aren't a team that needs to tinker. They were a horrible team that needs big pieces; they are a better team for having exchanged a reliever for regulars.
But that doesn't make it a bad deal for the Red Sox. Quite the contrary.
The Sox are a team that needs to fight to get better at the margins. If they had been one win better in 2011, after all, their season would have gone on for at least one more day. Melancon's impact on the 2012 Sox exceeds, in all likelihood, what either Weiland (who was slated to open the year in Triple-A) or Lowrie (a role player whose role was dwindling steadily) was going to offer.
But in many ways, even that doesn't explain what the Sox accomplished.
Not only did the Sox address an area of need in acquiring a late-innings reliever, but they did so for a pitcher who allows the team complete flexibility in terms of what they do with the rest of their offseason and who, in some respects, appears to be a bargain. Melancon will make little more than the big league minimum in 2012, a reflection of the fact that the 26-year-old is not yet arbitration eligible.
The Sox have limited financial flexibility this offseason. But they acquired an impact reliever without doing anything to diminish that. If they had, say, $10 million left to spend before signing Melancon (and essentially swapping salaries by shedding Lowrie and signing Nick Punto), they still have roughly that much after acquiring him.
As for the player cost, it's limited. The Sox did not sacrifice any of their true blue chip prospects. Make no mistake, the team likes Weiland, but even as he elevated his prospect profile, he was always viewed as a potentially complementary player rather than a part of its core. Lowrie's window to establish himself as an everyday player in Boston was nearly shut.
That being the case, one of the striking things about the deal was the fact that Melancon -- who remains under team control for five seasons before he reaches free-agent eligibility after the 2016 season -- came at what appears to have been a much more modest cost than a pitcher with his profile might have fetched midseason. During the 2011 season, for instance, the Rangers acquired right-hander Mike Adams in exchange for Joe Wieland and Robbie Erlin.
Adams is one of the top right-handed relievers in the game. He had a 1.13 ERA at the time of his trade, and produced a 2.10 mark in 27 games with the Rangers.
Yet the Rangers will have the right-hander only through next season before he becomes eligible for free agency. In exchange for one and a half years of Adams, the Rangers gave up two prospects in Wieland and Erlin who are viewed as possible mid-rotation starting pitchers in the majors. Put another way: Both Wieland and Erlin would have more value on the trade market than either of the players whom the Red Sox dealt. Yet the Sox got a reliever whom they expect to be a very good late-innings arm, perhaps even their closer, for the next five years.
Interestingly, the Sox do not appear to be alone in having acquired a standout reliever at a relatively low cost this winter.
The Blue Jays acquired closer Sergio Santos, who is under contract for the next six years, from the rebuilding White Sox in exchange for Double-A pitcher Nestor Molina. The Santos trade shocked officials of several clubs, both because Chicago did not shop Santos more widely, and because the White Sox got only one prospect back (a pitcher in Molina whom many consider to be anything between a bullpen arm and a mid-rotation starter).
The Padres picked up closer Huston Street from the Rockies -- who were trying to shed payroll -- in exchange for non-prospect Nick Schmidt. The Sox got five years of Melancon for two players who were replaceable.
In all three cases, a number of executives felt that the trade return on relievers had not been as high as it might have been in the middle of the season.
"If you take a look at the offseason closer deals over the last decade or so, outside of [the Astros picking up Michael Bourne in exchange for Brad Lidge before the 2008 season], you're not going to find a particularly good return out there," one talent evaluator noted in an email. "Closers are valuable in-season, when there are emotions attached to the possibility of losing games night in and night out. That's when teams feel like they HAVE to have that guy. Not in the offseason, when every other hard throwing reliever on their roster looks perfectly fine in the ninth inning on paper."
Or, viewed from another angle: Jeff Bagwell-for-Larry Anderson happened in the heat of a pennant race. So did Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe-for-Heathcliff Slocumb. Historically bad trades for relievers have happened during seasons. There are few comparable examples of such lopsided deals or relievers in the offseason.
That, in turn, explains why some teams may choose to hold on to their relievers until the middle of the season unless they are blown away by offers this winter. Teams that have dominant, affordable relievers (the Cubs with Sean Marshall; the A's with Andrew Bailey; the Pirates with Joel Hanrahan) would, of course, listen to hear if another team wanted to blow them away with a prospect offer.
However, there is something to be said for taking the calculated gamble of bringing the pitcher into the season, waiting for injuries and underperformance to put roughly 95 percent of contending teams in a position where they're looking to upgrade their bullpens and then make a deal with a trade partner who is staring down the barrel of the July 31 deadline.
The Astros' motivation for making a deal now is understandable. Houston needs to fill multiple holes. If Lowrie can prove he's healthy for half a season, then he either could assert himself as an up-the-middle contributor with the Astros or get flipped later this year to address even more roster holes. Weiland will have a chance to be a starter for them. In the meantime, the Astros have a legitimate big-leaguer at one of the most important positions on the field, something they could not say prior to the trade.
Still, the acquisition cost of Melancon was not enough to make Boston blink before completing the deal. If Melancon is as good as the Sox suspect, then even if Lowrie or Weiland flourish in Houston, the Sox will consider the cost a fair one based on the available information at the time of the deal.
So how good is Melancon? That question has been probed with varying conclusions, most of which have been derived from whether evaluators believe the right-hander can close for the Sox.
Of course, that might not be the right prism through which to evaluate the right-hander. As Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal underscores in this article, it is likely more important for the Sox to find ways of replacing Daniel Bard's late-innings work than Jonathan Papelbon's. Even so, setting aside the question of whether a closer or a more flexible late-innings reliever is more valuable, it is worth noting that Melancon is viewed widely as an excellent pickup for the Sox bullpen.
One NL talent evaluator who had no involvement with the trade raved about Melancon, and suggested that those who are dismissing his ability to close in the AL East are underestimating the right-hander, who was 20 for 24 in save opportunities for the Astros in 2011, his first full season in the majors.
"Who exactly are the closers in the AL East that are so dominant outside of Mariano [Rivera]? The Rays use Kyle Farnsworth for crying out loud," the evaluator noted. "Obviously, I really like Melancon and it is certainly possible he can't do it, but I don't understand simply dismissing it out of hand. The guy has great stuff, a strong pedigree, has developed and had an outstanding year last year."
While acknowledging that his fastball can be straight, the evaluator noted that Melancon had outstanding groundball rates (2.44 groundball-to-flyball rate) because the 6-foot-2 right-hander uses his long limbs and an atypical delivery to create a steep plane from a high slot. When he works down in the strike zone, it thus becomes difficult for opposing hitters to get the ball in the air against him. The evaluator also noted that Melancon's hard (90-93 mph) cutter further contributed to his groundball rates.
Moreover, despite the fact that he played 81 games in a home run friendly park (Houston pitchers allowed 29 percent more homers at home than on the road), Melancon allowed just five homers in 74 1/3 innings, another promising sign for the kind of contact that his stuff produces.
In other words, Melancon's ability to get a solid swing-and-miss rate (slightly above major league average) as well as a high groundball rate suggests a pitcher who profiles, at least, as someone who can succeed in the AL East. By the end of this year, it will become apparent whether that profile translates to results.
For now, however, what is known is that the cost of Melancon was something that seemed well within reason for the Sox. In some respects, the Sox found a perfectly timed opportunity to begin the process of reinforcing their pitching staff.

They are exactly what I wanted. The screwbacks are safe and don't hurt her neck and the earring is flat so my baby can't pull on it. Thank you!.

My daughter wanted a pair of 'grown up' earrings and these are perfect! Size is great for little ears and with screw backs we never have to worry they will fall out during gymnastics, school or sleep.

Today is the ten-year anniversary of The Sims franchise. That's a decade of miniature births, miniature lives and, eventually, miniature deaths playing out upon our game screens. A decade of little computer men and women landing their first virtual jobs, buying their first virtual homes, meeting their first virtual friends and holding their first virtual marriages. A decade of glowing green plumbobs and red-alert bladder meters.
We're GamesRadar, though… so naturally, when EA approached us about posting a celebratory feature, the first thing we asked about was the WooHoo. Over the past ten years, what are the silliest, craziest, kinkiest locations these programmable people have managed to get their simulated freak on?
These are the surprisingly diverse, and bizarre, answers.
Editor's note: The following material was provided by EA, publisher of The Sims series.
The Heart Bed
Though the act was disguised as the choice "Play In" for the original Sims, the heart bed has since featured more provocatively in The Sims 2 Apartment Life and The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff.
The Hot Tub
A staple of The Sims 2, nothing is more classic than WooHoo'ing in a backyard boiler… where all the neighbors can see, of course.
The Car
The Sims 2 Nightlife introduced vehicles and all the new possibilities with them. Now where's the drive-in? And what happened to that new car smell?
The Hammock
In The Sims 2 Bon Voyage, Sims could take a break and relax – or not – in a tropical hammock.
The Photo Booth
The Sims 2 Nightlife offered an interesting voyeuristic option to enjoy the photo booth. There's no space too small for WooHoo.
The Elevator
In The Sims 2 Open for Business, the Sims moved into the industrial age with their own private elevators. Better build plenty of floors.
The Tent
In The Sims 2 Bon Voyage and The Sims 3 World Adventures, tents were used for far more than sleeping.
The Celebrity Trailer
In The Sims Superstar, Sims could take a break from the "tough" life of fame to enjoy a groupie or two.
The Helicopter
The highest flying WooHoo spot – your own personal helicopter. It's what Bond would do.
The Sarcophagus
Sims get freaky in a whole new way in The Sims 3 World Adventures. And check out that mummy! We can already see our unborn children in his undead eyes.
