Mouton Wins Merrell Outeniqua Traverse
By ADMIN | Published: August 17, 2011
On Saturday 6th August 2011 local George trail runner Jacque Mouton won the Merrell Outeniqua Traverse in a blistering 4 hours and 18 minutes, a winning margin of 25 minutes,from second placed runner and leading lady Landie Visser . After the previous day's heavy rain and light snow falls, the runners braved the cold but beautifully clear weather conditions on the 10 km , 25 km or 38 km Outeniqua mountain tracks. The course was slippery and testing and it even included some swollen river crossings but not even these obstacles could deter the bruised and tired runners who completed this year's event. Organisers Tatum Prins and Graham Bird of Mountain Runner Events say a huge THANK YOU to thier title sponsor Merrell, prize sponsors Black Diamond and Quantum Adventures,product sponsor PVM, and Cape Nature for making this event possible.Congratulations to all the runners for an awesome day out and we hope to see you there in 2012!

The terrifying violence of the two multi-car crashes, one almost immediately following the other, remain vivid in the extreme even after the passage of 40 years.
The screeching tires as drivers braked frantically. The thunderous booms, almost like cannon fire, of cars colliding repeatedly at almost 200 mph. Sheet metal and parts as large as engines flying through the air. The screams of Oh, God! from an estimated 77,000 horrified fans.
The place, not surprisingly in view of repeated incidents that have taken place in the intervening years, was Talladega Superspeedway, then known as Alabama International Motor Speedway. The date was May, 6, 1973. The event was the Winston 500.
What happened four decades ago comes to mind as the current Cup Series teams gather once again at the sprawling 2.66-mile track in the Heart of Dixie for the Camping World 500 on Sunday.
Very few of the entrants this week had been born on that Black Sabbath so long ago in Northern Alabama.
But those that have bothered to study NASCAR history know about it. Others undoubtedly have heard drivers who were involvedBuddy Baker, Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, Bobby Allison and othersdiscuss it.
Many present-day competitors understandably dont care to know the details. They have ridden through enough of the seemingly inevitable Big One crashes at Talladega themselves.
The 73 accident generally is considered the first of these, and it is remembered among old-timers for its sheer destruction and the fact that it incredibly unfolded in two waves. I have written often of it before. I feel compelled to do so again on this 40th anniversary year, inspired by a recent, chilling quote from Buddy Baker.
I still cant believeand never will understandhow everyone survived it, said Buddy, now the host of a popular motorsports talk show on Sirius Radio. Its a miracle that we didnt lose some guys that day.
Baker and Yarborough, battling for the lead, were the first to crash.
Here is how the whole scene of race car carnage developed:
Ramo Stott, a star on the Automobile Racing Club of America circuit, qualified his Junie Donlavey Mercury 13th in a 60-car field. The starting lineup had been expanded by 20 vehicles because speedway founder/president/promoter Big Bill France felt the added cars were needed to fill up the massive track he had opened in 1969.
Baker, starting the K&K Dodge on the pole after qualifying at 193.425 mph, quickly began overtaking the back of the pack. After lining up fourth, Yarborough was right beside him in Richard Howards Chevrolet.
ARCA driver Stott experienced trouble almost right away and dropped far back. On the ninth lap his cars engine failed between the first and second turns, spraying the asphalt with a thick sheen of oil right in front of the onrushing Baker and Yarborough.
Buddy and Cale appeared to have smashed into the outer wall in the exact formation theyd been in when they roared past me, said Dave Marcis, who had started 49th. This even though Cale sailed over several cars, including Bobby Allisons. And Buddys car plowed through the grass on the inside of the track, digging up an incredible amount of dust. It was eerie.
As almost always happens in the Big Ones, a chain reaction of stunning proportions ensued.
Twenty-one cars were directly involved, 19 of themalmost a third of the fielddamaged beyond continuing and some hopelessly beyond repair.
The quotes from that race rate high among the most memorable Ive noted in a motorsports writing career covering 56 years.
I got in the air and I thought I never was going to come down, said Yarborough.
Some drivers said it sounded as if Yarborough never lifted off the accelerator the whole time he was airborne.
Of the suddenness with which disaster struck, Baker, shaking his head, unforgettably said, It was like opening a closet door and having a tiger jump out on you.
As quickly as the initial wrecking subsided, Baker and Yarborough sprinted across the track and stood near the inner wall.
Here we were, supposedly two tough race drivers, hugging each other and exclaiming how lucky we were to be alive, continued Baker. Then, lo and behold, here comes more cars wrecking, a second wave, heading straight at us! One car came over our heads high as a telephone pole. And Joe Frasson was coming at us though the grass and appearing to pick up speed. From a standing start, Cale and I were able to jump straight up to the top of that wall. I bet we set some sort of world record for a high jump.
Why a second multi-car crash developed has been debated for all those 40 intervening years.
Were the caution lights and yellow flag late in being displayed? Did the drivers, unaccustomed to speeds as fast as those at Talladega, not slow down sufficiently under yellow?
Regardless, it was an unbelievable sight when the smoke cleared.
Coming off turn two I saw an incredible mess, said Benny Parsons, the late 1972 Cup Series champion and later an award-winning TV motorsports analyst who escaped the accident. The backstretch was so littered it looked like the crash of a 747 airliner. There were cars cut almost in half, engines, rear ends and fuel cells sitting on the track.
I tried to pick out who all had been involved. My heart sank when I saw one of them was Wendell Scott. He had just bought a new Mercury, probably the best car hed ever had, and it was totally destroyed. I prayed he was okay.
Scott suffered the most serious injuriesthree broken ribs, a cracked pelvis and lacerated arm. The wreck essentially ended his career.
Incredibly, only four other drivers sustained lesser injuries.
Bobby Allison was most vocal in blaming the wild accident on the expanded field.
They said the extra cars were needed to fill up the field, said an angered Allison. They did all rightall over the backstretch.
Agreed Yarborough, There were too many cars out there. Too many inexperienced drivers. I guarantee it was a full two minutes after Buddy and I had gotten out of our cars that they started wrecking again. Smart drivers dont do that.
France disagreed.
I cant buy that big field causing the crash, he said. It was just a racing accident.
Sensing the mayhem on the 9th lap, the seemingly psychic David Pearson had slowed down in the Wood Brothers Mercury that he started on the front row with Baker.
I could tell that something was going on, or was about to go on, so I backed off, said Pearson. In fact, I more or less stopped. There was a huge mess when I got off the second turn, but I kept wiggling and wiggling and somehow got through. Still, I dont know how.
Pearson was left the class of the field, and he drove to victory, finishing a lap ahead of runnerup Donnie Allison in the DiGard Chevrolet and Parsons in the DeWitt Racing Chevrolet.
Pearson bore a colorful nickname, tagged on him for the combination of his prematurely gray hair and stunning savvy. This win proves they dont call David The Silver Fox for nothing, cracked Pearsons crew chief, Leonard Wood.
Given 40 years since the Big One of 73 many contend that NASCAR officials should have figured out some way to prevent such dangerous crashes. Either by slowing the cars, knocking down the Talladega tracks banking from its 33 degrees. Something.
It hasnt happened.
Thus the specter of 73 and all those other years of Big Ones looms over the race on Sunday.

Connie Feda wanted to create an educational, engaging, and relatable doll for her 13-year-old daughter Hannah, who has Down syndrome. With the goal of capturing "the beauty, vivaciousness and spunk of kids with Down Syndrome," Connie created Ellie, a doll with Hannah's almond-shaped eyes and button nose. She soon realized that other kids could benefit from a doll that looked more like them, so she created Dolls For Downs, a new line of dolls for children with Down syndrome. Keep reading »

Super-spreading, where one infected person passes on a disease to lots of others, could be an important factor driving dengue transmission in places where the mosquito Aedes aegypti carries the virus, according to research published recently.
The World Health Organisation has termed dengue as "the most important mosquito-borne viral disease in the world." Incidence of the disease has jumped 30-fold in the last five decades.
Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that is principally responsible for spreading the virus that causes dengue, has proved adept at making use of human habitation. The female mosquito feeds on human blood and subsequently lays her eggs inside containers holding water that are found in and around homes. The eggs hatch into larvae, which grow and turn into pupae, finally maturing into adults.
Studies have found that most of the mosquitoes in each locality typically come from just a few containers and houses, termed 'super-producers.'
In the course of their research, which has been published in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, Harish Padmanabha of Yale School of Public Health in the U.S. and his colleagues modelled how dengue would spread, given such an aggregation of mosquitoes and variations in the density of people in a place. The simulation was based on the distribution of mosquito pupae and humans in houses in two residential neighbourhoods of Armenia, a city in Colombia in South America where the disease is rife.
Since mosquitoes were concentrated in only a couple of homes in each locality, an infected individual in those houses or in their immediate vicinity was likely to get bitten and pass on the virus to a large number of mosquitoes. Those mosquitoes, in turn, would go on to bite other people, thus spreading the disease.
The study indicated that dengue transmission "depends heavily on events where an infected person infects many mosquitoes," Dr. Padmanabha told this correspondent. Such people were the super-spreaders. In contrast, most people with the virus would not infect many mosquitoes.
Moreover, "human density amplified the effect of A. aegypti super-production on dengue risk," the paper noted. Increased human density led to more possibilities for disease spread through both human-to-mosquito and mosquito-to-human transmission.
Also, greater human density in a particular area would increase the frequency of dengue-infected visitors.
"We found that even small variations in human density can have a very big effect," Dr. Padamanabha said. "A mosquito where you have low human density has much less capacity to transmit [the disease] than in an area where there is high human density."
Targeting control measures in areas of high human density could reduce the epidemic potential by decreasing the abundance of mosquitoes in areas were dengue was most likely to be introduced, the paper pointed out.

360Reach is the first and leading personal branding assessment that has been used by nearly a million people since its launch in 2002. It was designed to help professionals and entrepreneurs understand their reputation so they can expand their success. Unlike corporate 360-assessments, 360Reach is focused on development – not appraisal - and it enables users to get candid feedback from anyone with an email address – colleagues, managers, employees, friends/family, networking contacts, etc.
Perception is Reality
"Your brand is held in the hearts and minds of those around you. Therefore, you need to know what others think about you to truly understand your personal brand" said William Arruda, Reach Founder and President. "This is the only personal branding assessment in the marketplace that helps professionals understand their brand from the outside in," Arruda added.
The availability of this free version coincides with a glut in active job-seekers. With the number of qualified candidates for each open job increasing, knowing - and being able to exude - your differentiation is critical. Job seekers are using the output from 360Reach as a career marketing tool. "Since 360° Reach presents my work style and talents clearly and succinctly, my hope is this direct evidence, prepared by an independent third-party, will encourage a potential employer to place me at the top of the interview list," said Christi Weidling, Marketing Communications Executive and recent user of the assessment.
How it Works
Users (Requestors)
To ensure users get the most from the system, Reach developed a certification program to help coaches, recruiters and HR executives support their clients through the process. 360Reach Certified Analysts are expert in using this assessment and helping their clients turn their feedback into an action plan.
Other versions of 360Reach include Premium (45-day subscription with data analysis and a 20-page customized report) and Enterprise (this version is exclusively for use by companies and organizations)

The Patriots already have a built-in excuse: They just couldn't get over the hump.
Princess, a prognosticating Bactrian camel at New Jersey's Popcorn Park Zoo, is picking the Giants to win Super Bowl XLVI, and she has the track record to back it up: 5-1 in the past six Super Bowls and a lifetime record of 88-51 predicting NFL winners, including 14-6 this season.
Trainers give her two graham crackers — one with each team's name on it — and the one she chooses first is the predicted winner. Her fame is spreading.
"We have guys calling up on Sunday morning wanting to know who Princess has picked that week," zoo GM John Bergmann told AP. "One guy even asked if she does lottery numbers."
• At TheOnion.com: "Packers fans relieved to have more time to explore all that Green Bay has to offer this winter."
• At SportsPickle.com: "Tim Thomas asks Bruins to be paid in gold."
Wrestling 1, Volleyball 0
Joanna Hensley, the volleyball coach at Florence (Texas) High School, has been placed on administrative leave after winning an oil-wrestling competition — and $200 — at Hardtails Bar and Grill in neighboring Georgetown, Austin's KVUE-TV reported.
Herein lies the rub: The viscous substance in question was baby oil, but school officials consider it Texas crude.
Degree of difficulty
"Just one time," wrote Bob Molinaro of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, "I'd like to see those Winter X Games daredevils attempt their stunts on rented skis."
Not dead yet
A fast-spreading Internet rumor last week sent publicists scurrying into damage control to insist that still very much alive was:
a) Cher
b) the Washington Wizards.
Team spirits
More than 50 million cases of beer will be sold in the week leading up to the Super Bowl, The Nielsen Company estimated.
Or roughly 2 ½ seasons' worth in the Red Sox clubhouse.

United Rentals rises on strong 2012 outlook
GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) — Heavy equipment rental company United Rentals issued a strong 2012 outlook Monday, and the company's shares rose in midday trading.
United Rentals said it expects $1.95 billion to $2 billion in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization costs, or EBITDA. It said revenue will grow to a range of $4.6 billion to $4.7 billion. It said it still expects rental rates will grow about 6.5 percent.
The forecasts reflect United Rental's acquisition of RSC Holdings. It bought RSC in April for $4.2 billion in cash and stock.
Analysts had expected United Rentals to report EBITDA of $1.77 billion and $4.31 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.
The company had $1.49 billion in adjusted EBITDA and $4.13 billion in revenue in 2011.
Shares of United Rentals picked up $1.02, or 3.4 percent, to $31.41 at midday.

I just recently bought what I thought was a tree peony--green leaves growing from dark woody stumps--kind of like citrus have leaves coming off of a stump. I know that to get a tree peony, you have to graft it onto a herbaceous peony.
Then someone pointed out that the peony bouchela is really a herbaceous peony--I got really confused. So how can I tell which one I have. Do I have to bury the woody stumps when I'm planting it? Thanks in advance. Lil |
Follow-Up Postings:
If that is indeed the name of the plant, then it is herbaceous. the plant you bought should be pot grown right? If so, you don't need to really plant it any deeper than it is in the pot (for herbaceous anyway). Planting too deep (having the buds lower than 2 inches from the surface) apparently discourages the plant from blooming. http://www.treepeony.com/PlantingHerbaceous.html |

People term it poll preparation
The district unit of the Janata Dal (Secular) launched a two-day "padayatra" on Monday to highlight the plight of people, especially farmers, and register its protest against the inordinate delay in completing lift irrigation and drinking water projects, and "unbridled illegal sand extraction from the Vedavati, popularly known as Hagari. The padayatra began from Rupanagudi in Bellary taluk after a public meeting. A large number of party workers and supporters participated in the padadayatra, which was flagged off by the seer of Kalyanmath in Kammarchedu village. General secretary of the Janata Dal (Secular) Mundargi Nagaraj, and secretary of the party's State unit of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes cell Meenahalli Thayanna spoke.

WediAccording to the New York Times, Kenya has 4m people with an average annual income of $2,500 to $40,000 (10,391 to 166,250 bottles of 300ml or 10oz Coke) out of a total population of 37m people.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/11/world/africa/11kenya.htmlDuring the recent Safaricom IPO, $3.4bn was raised in 3 weeks. The minimum investment was only $150.38. Only $165.41m (4.87%) of the total raised came from foreigners.http://uk.reuters.com/article/rbssTechMediaTelecomNews/idUKL3007123920080530My Safaricom broadband Internet connection is actually faster than what my sister in Australia has.The Safaricom IPO is proof that the bulk of the wealth in Kenya is owned by ordinary locals and not by foreigners and wealthy locals. It's just that the wealth of the foreigners and wealthy locals is more visible.That said, we still encourage foreign investment because of the knowledge transfer, e.g. how to make a 3G network, or a web application, or a latte, and of course the jobs.
In all but the remotest (and I mean remote) villages in Africa you'll find an unassuming stand or household from which Coca-Cola may be bought. It shows the emergence of modest disposable income.
And distributing rehydration salts? Any veteran traveller knows that coke is the only palatable way to combat dehydration: It's high in salt and sugar, not to mention enough chemicals to kill even the most resiliant of stomach bugs!
Here's a thought: with the highly efficient Coke distribution system already in-place in Africa, why not form a private-public partnership with Coke to distribute the Peanut Butter Program, or other ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF)? Coke gains a positive social program and the UN/World Health Organization gains ready access to assist millions of the malnourished.
To my mind,the only benifit Coke provides for it's multitude of consumers is to refresh them in the hot African sun. Nothing else. Yet, it's aggressive marketing in African countries tend to suggest otherwise.
On the other hand, in places like Nigeria, the distribution of coke visibly damages the environment. Using over-sized trucks to access communities that are difficult to reach often seriously damages the roads to these communities. Coke management often turn a blind eye to this perhaps because Coke is such a massive multi-national that most govenments will hesitate to criticise, considering the local jobs they generate.
Makers of Coke should as of a matter of morality, assume a greater coporate responsibiltties in communities by, by for instance diverting some of the huge sums it continues to invest in advertising towards such responsibilities.
Coca-Cola always provokes controversy as I have found in my campaign to get Coca-Cola to use their distribution muscle to get rehydration salts out to places where 1 in 5 children die before the age of 5 usually through simple causes such as dehydration from diarrhoea. The campaign has really taken off. We have 3,000 people on a Facebook Group who think this is a good idea and we are talking to Coca-Cola. The full story is here: http://www.simonberry.netThe Facebook Group is here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=18947780476Please join us and invite your friends!Simon
Acorn, the only way to get rid of Coke and achieve your "total freedom" is to be in a state of cronic war like Somalia or to live in a freedom paradise like North Corea. I suggest you move there and start enjoying it.
"Coke pollutes, blah, blah" What a load of rubbish. Coke's impact is negligible. During the Mozambique floods, thousands of people survived from the water filtration system provided by the local Coke bottler.
Hey Wedi, I do agree with some of your comments. But what the writer is trying to imply is that if you see products to buy in the marketplace, there must be people there to buy them which implies a flow of money/economic system. This coke metric is just a way to track it.
Coca-Cola has to employ people to move their product. If coke is not there, you have to make the assumption that the jobs they bring are not there either. No jobs = large slums
No Coke = Lack of choices
Simply saying Eritrea is better off not having this obesity causing sugary drink does not make sense. Let the consumer decide and its up to gevernment to create an environment to let the consumer decide.
BTW. . I like my Coke with Captain Morgan Rum. Otherwise I try to drink water when I can. Do you have Captain Morgan in Eritrea or did the religious fanatics kill that as well.
I do belive it was a Kenyan that said "We did not attain independence to have a country of ten millionaires and ten million beggars'
The problem of African goverments measuring thier economic health by the volume of sales of consumer goods, is I think shown in the article by the Sunday Standard entitled "Kenya's wealth in foreign hands" ( http://www.eastandard.net/archives/sunday/hm_news/news.php?articleid=18216).
My argument here is, in Africa, when you start measuring your economic "sucess" by the number of coke plants you have, how much a foreign company has invested in your country etc. you tend to overlook the poor and the marginalised in the nation. Kenya might be the home of a new coke plant at the same time it is home to Africa's largest slum, Kibera.
Africans must find away out of the abject poverty that grips the continent. I for one do not believe that opening another coke plant will do the trick.
WediThe inability of a Coke bottler in your country to import concentrate is evidence of just how anti-business you guys are. Maybe if you fought less with your neighbours over worthless patches of desert, then you'd get to the big leagues like Coke. While I agree with you that Coke sales in a particular country aren't an indicator of the physical health in that country (their products are too sugary), they surely are an indicator of the economic health in that country. You said that during Kenya's post-election violence, Coke sales may have fallen due to expatriates fleeing. Even before the elections, expatriates were negligible in Kenya due to cut-throat competition from inexpensive skilled locals. Coke is one of the best employers, investors, customers, suppliers, and taxpayers in our country and we're very happy about their new $50m plant and $10m offices.NjonjoNairobi, Kenya
Carlos, was that a comment or a Coke commercial? Unbelievable... :-)
The TE angle is right and informative. I used to work for another of the few widely distributed world-class companies in Africa, and the situation of the local Coke operations was always an important, if informal, indicator.
It is certainly an overstatement to associate Coke to a hypothetical Index of Happiness.
Coca-Cola is no more than a refreshing drink that actually goes down very well under the hot sun of Africa.
The need to quench one's thirst sipping the sweet sparkling fresh drink with that unique flavour coupled with affordable prices does the trick for the company. Why not?
Coca-Cola is successul everywhere, probably the world's best recognized brand name.
Once tasted it seems to leave most people wishing for more!
Wedi, you don't help much your case by bringing up an irrelevant and confused football analogy.
As mat the w suggested, the level around here is higher than your average football aficionado's rant.
If one was to base ones's perception of the sucess of English footbal by the financial figures. It would seem that the premier league was one of the best and in good health. However, looking at the number of English players in the top teams, number of English Managers of the top teams, the fact that the national team is managed by an Italian and the lack of sucess for the national team, we get a different picture.
To use the volume of Coke as an index is misleading. Did the Coke sales dip in post election Kenya becuase the Kenyans were unsure of their future? Or was it becuase a substantial number of expats left?
There are various sites that carry facts and figures for African economies, sites like the IMF, World Bank and the CIA factbook. A perusal of these sites will indicate that Countries like Eritrea, inspite of their lack of Coke seem to enjoy better living standards than those awash with Coke. An example of this indication would be, the life expectancies, child mortality, health care etc.
Syguelles hit the nail on the head. Reading comprehension is a must on this site...
what a predictably reactionary comment. let me guess, you've never heard of the concept of "normal goods" have you, Wedi Eri. it is not that an Eritrean - or any African - believes that his/her lot has improved, but rather what he/she decides to do with this "improved lot" that is of question here; as incomes rise, demand typically does for certain goods - Coca Cola is indeed one of them. in a continent where statistical data for most states is sorely lacking in accuracy (or, such as in yours, simply lacking), the sales expectations of private sector corporations such as Coca Cola's become helpful indicators of economic health. that Red Sea Bottlers has had difficulty purchasing ingredients should be enough of an indicator for you.
What a load of rubbish! How can a drink that is shunned by many health concious Westerners be seen as some sort of index for the economic health of a continent.
As an Eritrean, I am sure that the average Eritrean does not belive that his lot in life has improved by the ready availabilty of Coke. Much progress has been made in improving the life of Eritreans in the past 17 years. Its true that Coke is last on the list. The unavailabilty of Coke will only lead to a healthier nation and nothing else. So what is the next index of prosperity? The level of drug addiction related crime? I say good ridance to the likes of Coca Cola, which only leads to tooth decay, Obesity and hyperactivty in children.

In terms of fit, finish, and features, the Zinken has it all. What truly sets the Zinken apart is the "TurnCable" it comes with. There is a 1/4-inch plug at one end, a 1/8-inch plug on the other, so depending on the gear you're using you simply reverse the cable! If you're like me and into electronic dance music or hip hop the Zinken brings the bass - HEAVY.
Prepare accordingly.

This biologically active plant, also known as �Coneflower�, is native to the United States and was once used by the Indians of the Central Plains. Due to it�s spine-like appearance, it was named �Echinacea� by German botanist Conrad Moench in 1774. Echinacea comes from �Echinos�, the Greek word for sea urchin. By the 1800�s Echinacea was extremely powerful in strengthening the immune and lymphatic systems in the body.

Hi Jon!
So sorry for the delay in my reply. I've been traveling the world singing the praises of Steamboat.
Do you know about our Kids Ski Free and Kids Rent Free programs? If a parents buys a lift pass and/or rents equipment for 5 or more days, kids get same free! Your little ones get free lift passes up to age 5 anyway, but Kids Rent Free could be of use. You can use our Steamboat Ski & Sport shops for this program: http://www.steamboat.com/lessons-and-rentals/ski-and-snowboard-rent...
For lessons, I'd suggest communication with the Snowsports School as the 3.5 year-old is on the cusp of different programs, and they can advise best: firstname.lastname@example.com
I hope this is helpful, Jon. See you here soon!
I am heading over with the 2 young boys 3 and a half and 4 and a half. We are going in January and want to know what is the best ski school program to book them into? Also what is a good quality ski hire place?
Hi Jo,
Check with your accommodation - we found Christie Sports at the Gondola gave free storage to selected properties - and they are really helpful, honest mob to deal with - but contact Steamboat direct - they are very helpful as well. Happy Trails (as the locals say)!
My Family and I are coming back for the 3rd time in Feb 2014 and this time we are bringing our own skis. Does anyone know where we can leave our skis overnight to save carrying them back to our condo and also how much does it cost.
Hi there - how can we get the ski school in Steamboat to continue the Desperados Kids programs, when Aussie children are skiing in Steamboat. It seems that when we all arrive, the weekly children's ski programs stop for the month of January, and re-start when we head home. The daily classes do not guarantee the same instructor and great program that the Deperados program does. Thoughts?
Hi Steve! We look forward to welcoming you back for the holidays. There are many options for both sleigh rides and skidoos - have you checked out the activities section of the website? http://www.steamboat.com/things-to-do/winter-activities.aspx The ski resort will be offering sleigh ride dinners at the Haymaker Golf Cub this winter, and we're very excited about this new off-mountain activity for our guests, and our local partners have great products as well. Did I help at all?
Happy 50th to the "Boat"!
So looking forwards to taking my family to stay in 2013 - not long now - forget how many sleeps to Christmas - it is how many weeks to ski!
As this is to be a special family trip can anyone suggest the best sleigh ride / skidoo /experiences to book? My son and I can't wait to revisit but this is the first time for my wife and daughters to USA so i want this to be very special - then maybe I can convince them to move to Colorado!
2013 looks pretty likely at this stage and I like the "uprooting" idea at some stage. You all have a great place over there so please keep it going.
Enjoy the rest of the season.
You've made my day, Enrico! And I know just what you mean about the people here. I uprooted my life to move here after discovering Steamboat's genuinely friendly charm over 17 years ago, and I cannot imagine calling anywhere else home. I hope you'll get the chance to visit in a truly stellar snow year - how's 2013 for you? And in the meantime, there's more snow in the forecast today.
So we just came back from three weeks at Steamboat and I have to honestly say, we had an absolute blast. Yes, the snow was less than stellar for the first week and a bit we were there (on par with a normal Thredbo winter), we got some good dumps the next few days and it was stunning.
We had a blast. We rode, skied, tubed, snowmobiled, sleighed to dinner, shopped, ate, and lived. But the best thing of all were the people. I can honestly say I have never met such a bunch of good, happy, helpful and appreciative people. And it says a lot about a place where so many of its people "came for the winter or summer" and 6, 10, 17, 23 years later, still there.
We love this place and we will be back again and again and again. Guess it is "the Yampa Valley curse".
Thank you Steamboat. See you very soon.

Kajukenbo is an eclectic martial art from Hawaii that combines techniques from Tang Soo Do (Korean karate), Kodokan judo, jujitsu, Kosho Ryu kenpo, and Shaolin kung fu into a style that is effective in real-life situations. Kajukenbo does not rely solely on size or strength, making it well-suited for women. Seven Star's style is also influenced by aikido, wun hop kuen do, and the unique experiences of our instructors. We include self-defense training throughout our curriculum.
Seven Star empowers women to train by offering sliding scale dues based on income, scholarships, ASL interpreting, and free on-site childcare for moms while they train. There are no contracts, annual fees, or expensive uniforms.
Browse our site to find out more—or better yet, come train with us!
For more information about classes or starting to train e-mail Sifu Michelle McVadon email@example.com at or call 206.720.1046.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Collection
I'm always on the lookout for amazing drugstore intensive conditioners. When you color, straighten, curl and blow-dry your dry hair into oblivion, you need to help rehabilitate it back to life! Problem is, so many of the best intensive conditioners are treatments are just so damn expensive, and I hate only recommending products that break the bank.
Enter Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Collection.
Pevonia Enzymo-Spherides Peeling Cream Mask
My go-to exfoliant? Pevonia Enzymo-Spherides Peeling Cream. It's a creamy, delicious-smelling mask featuring pineapple and papaya enzymes, and works in as few as 5 minutes (although I like leaving it on for about 15 or 20). In an ideal world, I'd slather it on once a week, but in reality, I only find the time about once a month.

'The challenge for countries in Asia and the Pacific is to manage their natural capital sustainably, so that they maintain ecosystem services in the interests of long-term economic development.'
- Jim Leape, Director General, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
The widespread loss of natural ecosystems and biodiversity is much more than a conservation issue. Natural ecosystems provide socially and economically valuable services - such as food and fiber resources, clean water and climate regulation - that are fundamental to human welfare, but are often overlooked in decision-making processes.
Produced through a partnership between ADB and WWF International, this report provides examples of promising approaches for sustainably managing natural capital in the region. These are based on experiences from four important regional cooperation initiatives, which demonstrate the commitment of the participating governments to protecting the integrity of natural ecosystems while improving livelihoods and reducing poverty.

We found the place by accident. But it was a wonderful surprise! The room was extremely clean. The food was beyond compare. The house was quiet and all of the rooms were full.

This B&B is an unexpected gem. Delightful home, well preserved and kept up. Bath was a trifle small, but fine for my needs. What set this one apart for me was the hosts, who went far out of their way to make sure my stay was comfortable and well tended. And the breakfasts were truly outstanding! If you find yourself in northeast Georgia, give this one a try.

Excellent food, and prepared with individual guest tastes in mind. Rooms very quiet and clean. House beautifully decorated. Hosts very knowledgeable about the history of the house and area. Location great - downtown and near some historical sites. Would definitely stay there again.

Todd and Joy are wonderful hosts. They were willing to serve their delicious 3-course breakfast at different schedules to meet the needs of their guests. The Inn is 110 years old and in excellent condition. This was one of the best B&B experiences we have had. We would definitely stay there again.

My husband and I were totally impressed with the Simmons-Bond Inn B & B! The home is beautiful...masterfully crafted, tastefully decorated, and within walking distance to the downtown stores and restaurants. The owners are so accommodating. We enjoyed them sharing the history of the home (just makes it more personable) and appreciated suggestions about what we could do in the area. The food was excellent and plentiful. If we have the opportunity to return to the area, we will definitely stay again.

We found this delightful inn almost by accident. With no reservations we were in the area before we realized we had to spend the night locally and had nowhere to stay. By pure happenstance we found the listing for this inn and decided to give it a try. What a happy surprise! We were made to feel welcome, the rooms were clean and uniquely decorated with period antiques and pictures, the beds were comfortable and our hosts warm and welcoming. We are very happy we found this place and definitely will be back,

The Simmons-Bond was just what a B&B should be. A beautiful home renovated to keep as much traditional flavor as possible (although it is centrally air conditioned which i was so thankful for), with antiques galore. My Wife loved it, everywhere she looked was another piece that reminded her of her Grandmothers. The hosts, Joy and Todd, were as accommodating as could be hoped for, providing anything that could be desired in a B&B and then some. The breakfast was superb, from the baked pear with cream to the souffle. Thank you for a truly enjoyable stay.

Closed for over a yr as I write review, but still ranked #4..wow..I guess would be #1 if it was still open
Closed for over a yr as I write review, but still ranked #4..wow..I guess would be #1 if it was still open
This place is closed. Something new is there - but it is not low country cuisine. Disappointed. We were looking forward to going back.
We ate here last year and was not happy with the food or service. It's no longer open and is being replaced by an Italian seafood restaurant, Coda del Pesce, and from what I hear, it should be great.
Confirmed this is definitely closed for good. A loss to this charming island community. We had heard great things but also that it was closed. Alas, the latter is true.
Great menu with a great location. Nothing but good to say about this spot. The only down side? Reservations are usually needed. However you can sneak in and grab a meal at the bar to experience the great food without having to wait forever.
The best shrimp and grits ever. I wish I lived closer so I could frequent it. My next visit won't be the same if I can't eat at Hucks.
I've been coming here for the last couple of years. The food is always terrific. The ambience is cozy, warm, laid back, with a twist of jazzy class. The Shrimp and Grits is fantastic as is the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Lunch on a Saturday is where you entertain your significant other, enjoying the view of the ocean over a cold... More

Our group of 3 enjoyed sharing the oysters and mac-n-cheese apps followed by Flounder, Scallops, and Crab Cake meals. We loved the hibiscus margaritas! And who can pass up homemade ice cream for dessert?!
I ate at Hucks 3 years ago and looked forward to a return visit with my husband. Very disappointed! We were seated quickly but it went downhill from there. We waited for quite awhile before our server arrived. We ordered water to drink while I looked over the wine menu. When or server returned she asked if we would like... More

Comments about Dixon Ticonderoga Prang® Hygieia® Dustless Board Chalk, Assorted Colors:
You may want to specify for this item to be-well packed for shipping. Chalk is obviously very fragile,and yet they were put in a box with only a crumpled piece of newspaper for cushioning, resulting in so much breakage, that I was only able to piece together 3 good boxes out of 6. I was issued a credit for 3 damaged boxes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
