Very nice RV park with concrete pads, flat sites, and lots of sunshine. No shade. It was very clean. Pool and hot tub were very nice and very crowded over Labor Day weekend. It was a nice park just a few miles from the beach and we would stay here again as we have friends in the area. - Bastion
Clean and quiet. Long, level pull through. Easy in and out. Lots of Snow birds here this time of year but we had no problem getting in for a couple of nights on our way through. - coehotrodder
I chose this park by using the reviews already posted. The check in process was easy, and the staff friendly. All the sites are concrete pads, flat, and wide. There is grass and a picnic table on each site. There are no fire rings. I didn't ask about campfires, but I'm assuming that's not possible. Could be considered a negative if that's important for your experience. We didn't go to the beach, but I don't think it's too far. We also didn't use any of the facilities, but I would like to come back just for the zero entry pool which is very important for someone who is mobility impaired like myself. We will be coming back, as we have family in the area! - rwmmdj

Best resort we have stayed in. We use this as the standard against which to compare other parks. Well spread out sites with full hookups, good cable and WiFi. Superb community center with great fitness center and pool. - fish-trails.com
Bella Terra is certainly a first class park. Check-in, escort to site, beautiful landscape sites, wide and deep sites, covered siting areas, groomed lawns etc. We will return again. - cmwb
Very nice park. Class A's ONLY. No C, Super C, 5th Wheels or trailers! No SHADE, and EZ ups are NOT ALLOWED. If you want shade you'll have to rent a gazebo site for an extra charge. Extra charge for lake view sites, extra charge for gazebo site, extra charge if there's outside seating available. Grounds are kept clean and tidy. Lake is really just a pond. Office help could be a little more friendly. Absolutely NOT KID FRIENDLY! Other than TV, there's nothing for the kids to do. Almost all clubhouse activities involved drinking. Although they call it a 'resort', we've been to nicer parks with better ambiance and more amenities for less money. We will stay at the 'other resort' nearby next time. - RVInn

All the necessities at a reasonable PA fee. No picnic tables, no fire ring, etc., but a good overnight spot if you are traveling through, or here for the shopping at the discount mall. Has gravel access roads, grass sites but spacious and comfortable. Owners live on the premises and a very helpful campground host gets you parked. We stayed here three nights at the Passport America rate and an additional night at the regular rate of $30 which is a little pricey for the facilities offered but there are very reasonable weekly and monthly rates available. We will stay here again. - upatoiboy
Gravel road, grass sites. Park perimeter is trees and barbed wire fence, it feels like parking in a pasture or grassy field, only with hookups. Sites are wide enough for slides but still close together. The pull through sites are very long and easily accommodated our 60 foot length. Very few trees in the park. The park is on Hwy 98 so there's some road noise. No picnic table or pad. Rustic but pleasant. A great park to "do nothing" or as a base to visit Foley and Gulf Shores. Very nice, helpful owner. Rate reflects PA discount. For the price and relaxation, we may return. No Wi-Fi. - Full_Timer
This was a great little park we stayed at on our way to TX from Florida. The owner has put a lot of love into this place, and they have one of the best club houses we've seen. Laundry facilities are neat as a pin and inexpensive. The grounds are neat, but basic. Don't expect a resort-environment here. You make your own fun. The only downside is the sites are a little close together, but that didn't present much of a problem. Residents are super friendly and there's lots of room to roam. A great place to stay for a week or a season. - LiveWorkDream

The on-site manager was very friendly. This location is very convenient to the outlet mall and popular restaurants. It's quiet and small with about 20 sites and less than half were occupied. The sites hookups are shared so you are close to your neighbor; one faces one way, you face the other direction. We had to use blocks to level our motorhome - we haven't had to use them in 2 years. Roads are gravel, sites are gravel filled in with grass. Their website said $25 for non members but when you arrive there is a sign for $30. Manager said they don't have anyone to change their website. A little too high as to the unmaintained area and lack of any amenities other than hook-ups. Not likely to return here, not enough of a savings to be worth it. - User1828
This is a no frills park and only has about 40 sites but it's very clean and quiet and in a perfect location. We enjoyed our stay here. We stayed for a month. - Tyra's rv
This is a park for those who want to park their rig and enjoy the surrounding area. Located 10 miles from the beach, and right behind the Outlet Malls. It is designed for Elks Members, but will accommodate guests for a surcharge. The sites are spacious and very level, but close on the utility side to your neighbor. No pool, no picnic tables, no bath houses, no frills. - simsfmly

Very kid friendly beautiful scenery and pet friendly. Nice cement parking slabs. The only complaint was the Internet was a little slow. This park has many residents that live here full time. Johnny's Lakeside RV Resort has the friendliest residents and staff. The water park is amazing. Our 3 year old granddaughter loved it. We also had a problem with our electric plug and within 10 minutes my husband had 3 of the regulars offer to help him fix it. I cannot say enough about this beautiful wonderful park! - Tamdee
Great RV park. Lots of grass and shade trees. Sites being improved with new concrete parking pads gradually. Many already done. Beautiful, huge pool with 3 water slides and a lazy river float. Nice lake with free fishing. Extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful staff. Park recently changed ownership and hopefully, will continue current improvements and good business practices. We would definitely stay here again even though there is an abundance of nice parks in this area. - Rsunde
Loved the park. We had a shade tree. Ample camp space. Nice Lazy River and pool. Staff friendly and helpful. Site states 171 spaces, don't know where they would be, unless on a parking lot. There were campers in the back on what looked like a parking lot with no hookups, but LOVED our space. Couldn't get reservations later in the summer. So need to make reservations for this place in the heat of the summer. Will go again for sure. - ParisMarie7

Great park. Very quiet, senior residents. Cleanest showers and baths I have seen since RVing. Site reserved before arriving and when we got here the manager showed us what sites were available and we could pick any of them. Grounds are spotless. Close enough to Foley and all the stores/outlets and eating establishments. Why pay hundreds more and stay in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach when this great campground is 30 minutes away. Very quiet, well maintained and managed. - Brown Bear
This is a clean park for adults. During the day there's occasional aircraft noise from the nearby small airport; at night it's very quiet. Sites are long, near-level grass. There are some trees but no shade.Many sites have wooden decks or concrete pads.
Voltage is good. A few sites are 50A only. Fires are not allowed at the sites; there's a big fire ring by the clubhouse.
Roads are wide asphalt, in excellent condition. The owners and hosts are very friendly and helpful. WiFi is strong.
There's one CenturyLink DSL line, max 1.5 MB/s download speed, for the entire park, so speed varies greatly. Verizon LTE works well.
There's no cable, but there are strong terrestrial broadcast signals from ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and PBS.
Laundry: 2 top-loaders ($1.50), 2 dryers ($1.50 for 45 min.).
Credit cards are not accepted; payment is cash or check.
To stay on paved roads, take County Road 49 to Mannich Lane, then west on Mannich Lane. - wjzcbn
The second best park we have been in. The manager maintains the park exceptionally well. Grass sites with full hookups and a wooden deck. Quiet park with occasional helicopter noise. Fields of cotton, peanuts, and/or winter wheat surround. Seven miles from Foley but easy to get there. Full hookups. Military rate. We would stay here again - if we were in the area. - Jerryws98516

Please note that the park is under new management. We were very happy here in our stay. Speed bumps are in many of the campgrounds to keep speeders down and we did not have any problems with them. Clean bathrooms, laundry and clubhouse. Close to many attractions and Mobile for Mardi Gras. - 3huskies
One of the best parks in the area of Gulf Shores, Al. This small park is west of Foley, Al about 7 miles and north of Magnolia Springs, Al about 1 mile. The park is about equal distance to Gulf Shores and Fair Hope. Reported to originally have been part of the RV park next door with the intent of selling lots (rather than rentals). It currently has a combination of privately owned lots (21) and unsold lots (20) for rent. Nice club house, laundry, showers, pool, and all concrete pads & patios. The property has been well maintained and has nice landscaping of grass, shrubs, and trees. The park manager (Jim) is also the HOA president and is very pleasant and helpful. The host was was also pleasant and helpful. Internet work very good and had two antennas in the park to aid in signal strength. This is a very affordable park by the month, quiet, clean, well managed, and is great to rent for winter stays 1-3 months (or purchase for yearly stays). Propane is available in Magnolia Springs at a reasonable cost. Note: No web site for Magnolia RV Park II. - tzdr8v
The price and reviews of 'this' park looked good so we drove the dinghy out for a look. That's the first thing to be careful of. Our GPS had us going down a dirt road when there is paved access to the park. Which brings up the second issue. We were actually going to look at the park next door but the dirt road lead us to this park first. So we went to it first. Immediately upon arrival we were met by the host, a great guy. We reserved a site for 2 weeks on the spot. Which brings up the next issue. Between that visit and our arrival with the RV, SPEED MOUNTAINS were put in. I understand the unfortunate need for speed bumps, and have no problem with them, but these were excessive. On the two lane interior roads, they cut diagonally across. This essentially rocks your coach not just up and down, but side to side. On one of the single lane roads, they may well be hazardous. One of the other guests expressed concern about whether or not his raised jacks had adequate clearance to get over them. Internet access was good. No cable TV, but no obstructions for satellite. It is a great central location for all that the surrounding areas have to offer. But, seriously, the speed bumps have to go. They are bad enough, that when I had to leave the park to have some warranty work done, we went to a different, more expensive park rather than endure those monstrosities. The host gets a 10. The park an 8. The bumps a 0. That averages out to a 6. And that is an absolute shame. - biosensai

This is a Passport America park, and they give a discount for 7 nights Their regular rate is $32/night, $150/week, and $360/month. Gravel sites in older section. Newer section has 2 rows of sites with concrete parking pads and concrete patios; these are $400/month. The monthly rate includes 900 kWh electricity, full 50 amp hookups, Wi-Fi at sites. If you are staying at the park you can golf for $10 a day. We have stayed her twice before in past years. We are staying here now for a week. There is a club house and some activities. Not a bad park - 2GermanAmericans
This park is near the village of Magnolia Springs, 5 miles west of Foley. Full time residents and long term winter guests are the mainstay. The host was indifferent to my short term stay of 3 days. No map of the park and I had to ask for a statement as well as the amenities. OTOH the residents are very friendly and helpful. If you have a dog you will fit in very well. The park is terraced with the Community building being on the top level. The next 2 levels are older, well shaded, and sites may be on grass or concrete. The newer and lowest level is more spacious and open. The showers were fine as was the Wi-Fi. There was no defined path to the community building or parking. We can recommend the Blue Marlin Family restaurant a few miles west on 98. The 9 hole par 3 course is well kept and fun to play. It is the only reason we would return. Rate posted is the PA rate plus tax. - rossby
Small, no frills, simple park. They have a small clubhouse where the showers are. They had a couple of functions while we were here: dance, pot luck, breakfast, etc. Very fun people. We had a great time. Hosts treated us like family. We really felt at home and comfortable. Not much for scenery and sites are very close together. Wi-Fi worked great all the time. Great for golfers, since golf course is walking distance, but out of the way from everything else. Not great for kids, since there are no kid amenities. Priced right. We stayed for a month and we would return. - thesarge7

There is a clubhouse on site, but not much else in the way of amenities in this senior community. The park was well kept and management was friendly and helpful as well as other members of the community. We enjoyed staying here for 4 months and look forward to returning in the future to revisit the Mobile flea market, USS Alabama, Alabama coast, and other attractions. - Terry5048
Nice grassy sites with some trees and very clean and close to gulf beaches. Owner lives on site and very friendly and let us pick out our site. Seasonal and permanent residents made us feel very welcome and included us in activities. Will return again when in area. The only thing I would update is the washer and dryers. - Marcia55
This is a seniors park, with children allowed for short periods only. Mostly full timers, retired, or snow birds. The park is well maintained. Most available sites are grass pull through. They are large, 35 to 40' wide and 70' long. Management is very friendly. They do an excellent job keeping the park neat and safe. We lived here over 1 year and enjoyed it immensely. Not a lot of facilities, but well maintained. Not considering amenities, I would rate this park a 10. - FT1946

Making the horse drink: use of mini-CEX in an assessment for learning view

Get AccessRecently a very interesting study by Alberta Alves de Lima and co-authors was published in Advances in Health Sciences Education; taking the mini-CEX to the 'lab' to study in more controlled circumstances the contribution of the various wanted and unwanted factors to the scores (Alves de Lima et al. 2012). Their findings are in accordance with most findings in this domain which state that between 7 and 11 observations would suffice to achieve acceptable reliabilities (Williams et al. 2003). This is important as they have added another important piece to the puzzle of the quality of this method.
It would not be unfair to conclude that, so far, we are okay concerning reliability and construct validity of mini-CEX, but I cannot help thinking there is more. Quite frankly, I think this has to do with my own difficulties with using an instrument almost exclusively for testing purposes despite its considerable potential to help optimising learning in an educational context. If I say "learning" ...

Recently, I wrote a story about the color Tiger Eye over at Houzz.com, and I wanted to share photos with you here, as well.
I know that homeowners are always on the lookout for a 'new neutral' color to try. Gray is very popular right now, and many people still turn to the mainstays of beige and tan. However, if you'd like to try something new, Tiger Eye may be just for you.
{coastal living}
{country living}
Not only does its name represent the actual golden-brown color of a tiger's eyes, but this hue also appears in a precious gemstone of the very same name. Tiger Eye ranges from golden yellows and amber to honey browns. It creates a great neutral background for a wide range of other colors.
{the lennoxx}
{small by nature}
{calico corners}
{martha stewart}
Tiger Eye is definitely a color to try!

Live From Space

Live From Space: Stephen Hawking on Space Exploration
Professor Stephen Hawking explains why the International Space Station is so vital to the future survival of humankind.
Steven Hawking recently made a comment that any visitors to our world from space would LIKELY be here for their own agenda, an agenda that would have negative and destructive implications for humanity. I feel this is true. And not only true, it is underway right now.
I am amazed Professor Hawking is still living. His life is an inspiration.
I still have the video tapes of the first Cosmos series. It is most beautiful and stirring presentation of our system and all that was known at that time. When I was 13, my age group were really excited by the prospect of space travel. We knew that our world had finite resources and that all star systems are born, live and eventually die. The politics of war seemed more important to humans at that time. Let us hope that we can yet transcend this grief full expression of technology and move in a more enlightened direction. Prof. Hawking is absolutely correct. We must go or perish. My years of dreaming are gone. I hope the youngs will be entranced by the new "Cosmos" and bless Dr Tyson and all who have contributed this wonderful new presentation.
I feel sorry that he was diagnosed with ALS in his 20s, be he is really smart. The fact of colonizing on Mars is in our reach if we have improved technology and know-how about civilization. Stephen Hawking has a real clear idea about that. I wonder if he invented that speech synthesizer...
I have no doubt that the teachings of this fellow will never be forgotten. The imprint he continues to leave on humanity is indeed Great.
He is not our greatest cosmologist. Our greatest cosmology is someone who can at least walk
@gabriel C. What a sad commentary. Just because one's legs or arms no longer respond to neurological stimuli due to neurological disease, does not mean the brain has ceased to function. ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) or MS can affect anyone. How fortunate for humans that the brain continues to function! I hope you can appreciate that all humans have the ability to contribute whether they "can at least walk.". Be kind as you never know when you may be the one who is unable to "at least walk"
@Terrance Newton @Emma Qualle @gabriel C. Go easy on Gabriel. He is probably VERY young.

Reuther earns her 5th GCAC weekly award in 2 seasons
October 1, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — For the second time this season and the fifth time in two years, Xavier University of Louisiana's Taylor Reuther is the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week in women's volleyball.
Reuther, a 5-foot-7 sophomore outside hitter from Metairie, La., and a graduate of St. Mary's Dominican High School in New Orleans, led Xavier with 31 kills, 21 digs and 10 aces during a 3-0 week which extended the Gold Nuggets' school-record road win streak to 10. Reuther had nine kills, eight digs and two aces to help Xavier win in four sets at SUNO and snap the Lady Knights' school-record nine-match win streak. In a sweep of Fisk she had 14 kills, six digs and three aces — all five of her third-set attacks were kills — and she had eight kills, seven digs and five aces in a sweep of Philander Smith.
Taylor Reuther
Since the start of the 2008 season, only Whitney Knight of former member Mobile has won more GCAC weekly awards (12) than Reuther. No other active GCAC player has won more than twice. Xavier has received three weekly awards this season — sophomore outside hitter Chinedu Echebelem won the other.
Xavier's next match will start at 6 p.m. Friday against GCAC opponent Edward Waters at The Barn. It will be the first of three home matches in six days for the Gold Nuggets (10-4 overall, 4-0 GCAC).
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
(GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and track and field and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Department of Intercollegiate Athletics

Forgotten World Highway 43 |
The way it was Through the back woods of Taranaki, explore the beginnings and the way it was done The Forgotten world highway once was a thriving community, the little villages of Tangarakau and others were established to house railway and road workers by the hundreds. Evidence of these little communities and houses are still to be found, travelling this highway is definitely a step back in time. | |||
The Stratford toTaumarunui Forgotten World Highway [Name] was established in 1990 to provide travellers using State Highway 43 with an opportunity to learn about the history of the bush clad hills that separate the towns of Stratford and Taumarunui. Distinctive teal and yellow signs direct the traveller to sites along the Highway with further signs along the Highway to describe their historic significance. At both Stratford and Taumarunui the start of the Highway is indicated by a large display board. In Stratford the Highway starts from the roundabout corner of Broadway and Regan Street. The beauty of the Lost World Highway is astounding. Forgotten World Highway Sunset from the Tahora Saddle. Tangarakau Gorge country Tahora Saddle spectacular views |

STRATFORD Popular as the gateway to the Egmont and Wanganui National Parks, Stratford has many Elizabethan features and all it's streets are named from the works of Shakespeare, also home of the Pioneer village depicting early life in Taranaki Distance: Stratford to Taumarunui 150km (including 25m of unsealed road from the foot of Tahora Saddle to Tatu) Travelling Time: 2.5 hours / 3 to 3.5 hours with caravan or campervan (allow at least twice this time for stops and two days to see all the features completely) Best advice is to fill your fuel tank in Stratford or Taumarunui Toilets Available at: Ohura, Whangamomona Hotel, Ohinepa Recreation Reserve and Whangamomona Hotel Camping Grounds at: Ohinepa Recreation Reserve, Tangarakau, Moki Forest, Te Wera Forest Camp Farm Stays available: at a number of properties along the route and at either end of the Trail Food: Ohura Tearooms. Whangamomona Hotel.Keito Cafe, Tahora Saddle. TAUMARUNUI Located on the main trunk railway line between Auckland and Wellington, provides an ideal base for visits to the Tongariro National Park. Whangamomona village republic day draws thousands of visitors nation wide to this spectacular event |
1. Introductory Sign and Whakaahurangi Maori Trail The large sign gives travellers full information and a map illustrating all site locations along the entire Trail. |
2. Douglas Village Like most small Taranaki settlements Douglas Village has declined with the closure of its dairy factory and store. |
3. Douglas Brick Kiln This building, classified by the Historic Places Trust, is situated 200 metres along the side road and a short distance along a farm driveway. |
4. Strathmore Saddle This point on clear days gives a great vantage of the four North Island mountains. The saddle also lies close to a fault line and in the surrounding hills there is still some evidence of the shell rock containing fossils of marine life deposited when the land was the ocean floor millions of years ago. |
5. Aotuhia (Bridge to Somewhere) An optional side-trip on an interesting and scenic backcountry route to this once abandoned valley (allow at least two hours for the return trip). A feature is the Bridge to Somewhere built in 1937 of similar design to the Mangapurua Valley Bridge to Nowhere. |
6. Te Wera The railway east joins the highway again near this point. The site sign is close to a spectacular large rhododendron, the Te Wera Forest and Recreational Camp and old saleyards site. Unique arboretum with named trees and short walk available. |
7. Pohokura Saddle Named after a Maori Chief, Pohokura was first settled in the late 1880s. In these early days the road over the saddle was so bad that it took three days to pack supplies from Stratford. Now sealed, the saddle provides a view of the valley once home to the railway workers building the Pohokura tunnel. |
8. Whangamomona Saddle The saddle provides a spectacular view of the boundary of the Patea and Wanganui River watersheds with beech and podacarp forest flanking the highway. Start of a three hour circular forest walk, or a 100m walk into the beech trees. |
9. Whangamomona Village The Valley of Plenty was first settled in 1895 and by 1898 there were 187 people in the district. During the early 1900s the settlement flourished but the great flood of 1924 started the settlements decline and now it is almost a ghost town. Republic Day celebrations are held every 2nd year, the closest Saturday to the beginning of January 2007. |
10. Tahora Saddle Another spectacular vantage point for the central North Island mountains and surrounding valleys. Two Maori Pa sites are visible on prominent hilltops to the west and east. The saddle also overlooks two railway tunnels. |
11. Tangarakau derives its name from the felled trees cut down by the legendary Tamatea to repair his canoes on the Whanganui River. First settled in the 1900s the village boomed in 1925 when it became home to 1200 people, the families of workers on the nearby railway. |
12. Moki Tunnel A 180m road tunnel built in 1936. The floor was lowered in 1985 to allow triple-decked stock trucks to pass through. A short walking track along old saddle road (western portal) leads visitors into bush with abundant bird life. |
13. Moki Forest Another detour off the highway (8km-15 minutes) to mature forest with outstanding regeneration of native species. Home of the endangered kokako bird. |
14. Mt Damper Falls (85m) A further 8km past the Moki Forest sign through high semi-plateau farmland is the site sign for Mount Damper Falls. A walk of 20 minutes will bring visitors to a platform to view one of the highest falls in the North Island. Allow at least 2 hours for the detour to sites 13 and 14. Toilet available near site sign 14. |
15. Morgans Grave Last resting place of Joshua Morgan, leader of a surveying party and his grave is considered a memorial to the men who had to find a way through this difficult country. |
16. Tangarakau Gorge Carved by the river into sedimentary sandstones and clad in luxuriant native bush the Tangarakau Gorge is the next site on the trail. Large coal deposits originally formed in ancient peat swamps in a low lying prehistoric landscape and were mined in several locations in the Gorge and small pockets of coal can be found adjacent to the Gorge site sign . |
17. Tatu Coal Mine Village Four houses, a school and a hall were located near here for the workers of the now abandoned Tatu Coal Mine. A larger settlement called Puketihi with about 30 houses, a post office, store, two teacher school and reticulated water supply is located 4km up Waro Road. |
18. Tatu Coal Mine The mine entrance is situated 6.5km up Waro Road which is unsuitable for vehicles, but does provide a pleasant walk. |
19. Ohura Ohura township is 10km off the main trail. The township has declined since the closure of the coal mines. |
20. Nevins Lookout Panoramic views of the King Country and the Central North Island mountains can be gained from the hill. Please ensure that the gate is shut behind you when entering or leaving. |
21. Maraekowhai Reserve A site of considerable historic significance as it was a stronghold for rebellious Hauhau Warriors, part of an initially peaceful religious movement in Taranaki which became disenchanted with the style of European land acquisition. A war pole "rongo niu" was built in 1864 with four arms which it was believed radiated out in all directions calling warriors to the "cause". They danced around the pole to incantations which they believed would make them invincible to musket fire. A peace pole "rere kore" was built at the end of hostilities and both poles are now preserved on the site. |
22. Papa Drive A fine example of many such drives, were built in the early 1900s for road culverts. Most have now been replaced but some like this one continue to give good service. |
23. Aorangi Flour Mill Although the original mill building has long since disappeared the trenches used to carry water from the Opetea Stream to the mill wheel can still be seen. The site sign is located on River Road opposite Koino Road junction. |
24. Aukopae Tunnel The present road cutting was constructed in 1968. Walking access can be gained to the tunnel by following the line of the original road, allow 45 minutes for the return trip. |
25. Aukopae River Boat Landing Landing place of the river boats which at the turn of the century transported settlers, livestock, provisions, mail and tourists from Wanganui to Taumaranui. The site sign is located 500m off the trail on Saddlers Road. |
26. Nukunuku Museum Follow the sign from Aukopae Landing to Nukunuku Museum. The museum owned by Mr (Jock) Erceg is an interesting collection of memorabilia of the days of the Maori, river boats and early settlement. |
27. Otunui River Boat Landing The Otunui Landing is a reminder of the time when the Whanganui River provided the main access to the King Country. Now scarcely distinguishable from any other section of the river bank, the landing is a popular picnic spot. Access can be gained by crossing the road bridge and then walking through the paddock on the opposite side of the stream. The site sign is situated in the picnic area at the junction of the River Road and Otunui South Road. |
28. Te Maire Reserve Situated 0.5km from the River Road, access to the reserve is gained by driving over Te Maire Bridge. The reserve is a fine example of podacarp forest with well defined walks of up to 3 hours duration, with good views from the lookout and tree identification signs. |
The Bluff consists of alternating
layers of coarse sandstone and fine mudstone laid down to a total thickness
of 1.3km when the region was beneath the sea 15-25 million years ago. Very
unstable, the bluffs have provided a headache for the road builder. The
site sign is situated at the rest area.

From a marketing stand point, I would hope it would Andy. I would also not be in the least surprised to see the 8FG get a hardware update to the 8FGsd (sooper dooper) after the 14SG is launched, I think having a clear upgrade path for the S-FHSS users to the higher priced models is an important consideration for Futaba. I too don't care if my 8FG is never upgraded for S-FHSS for my own needs. The FrSky prices and support from Aloft hobbies for us in NA make them an attractive alternative. I have one sailplane that requires 4 channels, currently I have an R617FS in it. I have a situation where the little 4 channel micro full range model will be a better choice than the R617FS now in that model, due to the ability to link it in Multi-Mode, providing F/S on all channels, important with a thermal sailplane, to hopefully bring it down nearby, rather than fly off into the wild blue yonder.

I think it will for the following reasons: 1. Futaba want to keep FrSKY FASST compatible clients in the Futaba camp and 18MZ is too expensive for most while sport flyers are looking for low sot as well as features. The 14SG would plug the gap between 8J and 18MZ nicely 2. It will enable the 14SG to be compatible with Futaba Transmitter Ready (FTR) which is to be rolled out in 2013 (not to be confused with Hobbico TX-R), again offering a more cost effective alternative to the 18MZ in this market and an upgrade path from the 8J. 3) Futaba's marketing direction is extreme flexibility and fewer Tx and Rx models. |

This was/is driven primarily by Retailers who compete with Amazon and secondarily in this case, by the Texas State Government. More Tax money for Texas (and other states)...and more protection for Walmart, Sears, Best Buy, Target, ect...who are loosing market share to Amazon. ...and now back to our regularly scheduled program.. 8-) -mike- |

About the Cultural Support Program
What is the Cultural Support Program?
The Cultural Support Program is an important addition to the Army's special-operations community that allow specially selected and trained volunteers to serve alongside special-operations forces in a unique operating environment. Graduates of the training course are awarded a professional development skill identifier and the title of "cultural support specialist."
As a member of a Cultural Support Team, your primary task is to engage a host nation's female and adolescent population in support of ARSOF missions where their interaction with male service members may be deemed culturally inappropriate. You will work with special-operations forces performing missions such as medical outreach programs, civil-military operations, key leader engagements, and searches and seizures.
Cultural support training focuses on the duties of a cultural support specialist: engaging with the local nationals. The foundation of the Cultural Support Training Course is built upon providing an understanding of human behavior, an appreciation for Islamic and Afghan culture and the role and history of women in Afghanistan.Through interpersonal engagement, cultural support specialists enable trust, confidence and rapport to grow between the host-nation community and special-operations forces. Additionally, you will provide the supported commander an enhanced understanding of the female population in their operational area.
The Cultural Support Program is not the Army's Female Engagement Team program. A cultural support specialist differs because she is specifically assessed, selected, trained and educated based upon the ARSOF core attributes to support ARSOF-unique missions.
The Cultural Support Program is not Civil Affairs. Cultural support training provides the Soldier with the necessary skills and tools to complement the effects of civil-military operations within the special-operations environment. Cultural support specialists are not trained to identify, plan or conduct civil-military operations.
Step 1: Cultural Support Assessment and Selection (9 days)
Click here for up-to-date Cultural Support Assessment and Selection training dates.
The Cultural Support Assessment and Selection program includes five days of physical, mental and intellectual evaluations designed to determine a candidate's ability to maintain her composure, apply logic, communicate clearly and solve problems in demanding environments. Assessment is not a training course; it is an observation of behaviors that suggest suitability for attendance in the Cultural Support Training Course.
After in-processing, CS Assessment and Selection candidates are assessed by cadre members on their ability to write, solve problems, and perform physically and psychologically. During CS Assessment and Selection candidates are expected to skillfully manage simultaneous tasks and comprehend ambiguous instructions while working under varying degrees of uncertainty without feedback.
CS Assessment and Selection is as much a mental test as it is a physical test. Volunteers should arrive mentally prepared, physically fit and highly motivated. At the conclusion of assessment and selection, all candidates will be counseled on their performance and returned to their units.
Step 2: Cultural Support Training Course (approximately 6 weeks)
Click here for up-to-date Cultural Support Training Course dates.
Select Soldiers will return to Fort Bragg to attend the Cultural Support Training Course. Course assignment is based on operational needs and course availability. The training period is approximately six weeks in length, which includes some weekends.
The average training day begins at 6:30 a.m. with physical training, and ends around 5:30 p.m. except during the culmination exercise. The training program features classroom instruction, and concludes with a comprehensive field-training exercise.
Soldiers attend training to become familiar with the M-4 carbine rifle and the M-9 pistol, as well as other Soldier skills. Cultural-support training focuses on personal interactions and engagements based on Soldiers' foundational skills and knowledge in human dynamics, general culture and regional culture. Current regional training focuses on Afghanistan.
Blocks of instruction include:
Soldier survivability: individual and team weapons familiarization, defensive battle drills, communication and vision equipment familiarization, and individual and team medical training.
Operational orientation: Cultural support purpose, missions and supported units; human performance; mental and interpersonal adaptive thinking.
General and regional culture, including history, religion and infrastructure.
Engagement: Use of interpreters, reporting requirements, face-to-face communication and civil reconnaissance.
Tactical information collection: questioning, and searches of individuals and areas.
Step 3: Assignment and deployment (approximately 9 months)
Following graduation and block leave, selected Soldiers will be attached to an Army special-operations unit in support of overseas contingency operations. The ensuing deployments will be physically and mentally demanding. Cultural support teams live with supported SOF units in austere environments.
Duties of cultural support specialists include communicating and working with Afghan women and children, providing support to medical outreach programs, physical searches of Afghan women and children and supporting civil-military operations.
While deplyed, CSTs may move by foot, vehicle or aircraft. Some missions may require foot patrols of 10 kilometers; other missions may require fast-rope insertion from a helicopter. CST members are not required to conduct airborne operations.
Female volunteers are encouraged to allow their hair to grow in length.
Total commitment to the Cultural Support Program will be approximately one year.

How Students Engage with Scholarly Sources (VLA Presentation, Sept. 2013). An overview of the National Citation Project and plans for UR liaison librarians' local citation study, beginning Fall 2013 with FYS research.
First-Year Seminars (FYS) provide entering students the excitement of engaged learning through a diverse array of seminar topics. With small classes, a variety of topics, and close contact with faculty, First-Year Seminars offer a hands-on introduction to academic inquiry. More than 30 seminar topics cover a wide range of interests, from bioethics and math, to art history and English.
All seminars provide opportunities for critical reading and thinking and establish a foundation for effective written and oral communications skills, information literacy, and library research skills.
All FYS Seminars have the same five common goals:
Library Research Instruction (Goal #4):
The librarians at Boatwright Library are committed to providing information literacy and library research instruction for all students. To fulfill this in the first year seminars, students will:
complete at least one assignment in their FYS requiring library and/or research beyond their core texts.
Information Literacy/Library Research Goals and Outcomes for First Year Seminar Library Labs:
The overall goals of the FYS Library Research Sessions are to introduce students to fundamental library resources and services, while developing students' sense of critical inquiry in the context of library research. Fundamental research competencies acquired during their first year will help students identify information resources for course assignments, as well as begin to develop skills for research inquiry within the academic community. This tiered approach provides students with a foundation to conduct more developed and complex research throughout their General Education and Upper Level courses, as well as meet faculty expectations for research assignments throughout the curriculum.
Librarians at the University of Richmond use a tiered research instruction approach based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives of lower-and higher-order thinking and competency skills, as well as the research of Kenneth Burke (The Philosophy of Literary Form, 110-111) and Gerald Graff & Cathy Birkenstein (They Say/I Say), encouraging students to think about research and writing as joining the academic conversation.
Achievement of Outcomes: First-year students arrive with a range of experiences with library resources, and liaison librarians provide library research sessions to introduce academic research strategies and resources to all first-year students, focusing on the unique scholarly collections at the University of Richmond. Library instruction sessions also offer all students, especially those with little previous exposure to library research and resources, the opportunity to think about information needs and appropriate resources beginning with their first UR classes. Librarians and FYS faculty work together to plan overall program assessment for Goal #4.

The availability of the Human Genome is providing an unprecedented opportunity to expand our understanding of cell biology, development, evolution and physiology with tremendous potential benefits to human health issues and drug discovery. Capitalizing on this opportunity requires a concerted effort to identify the functional and therapeutic roles of the vast number of novel proteins being identified by genome sequencing. My research interest is focused on developing technologies that use bioinformatics, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, metabolomics, molecular modeling and structural biology to assign a biological function to novel proteins. Determining protein structures by NMR and deciphering their biological function provides a starting point for a structure-based drug discovery effort.
In the role of Faculty Member, Robert Powers contributes recommendations and reviews to the Structural Genomics Section in the Structural Biology Faculty, writing brief accessible comments to summarize the value of the articles and adding rating score.
The Faculty comprises Heads of Faculty, Heads of Section, Faculty Members and Associate Faculty Members, as well as an International Advisory Board.

"Archer Mayor's Vermont police procedurals are the best thing going..." --New York Times Book Review
Across Brattleboro, Vermont, rich people (some with dark secrets) are waking up in their high security, alarm-equipped homes to find a Post-it note stuck to their bedside tables reading, "You're it." There is little sign of disturbance anywhere, nothing stolen (that anyone admits, ) and only a bit of expensive food eaten as a signature. The Press loves the story and dubs the burglar the Tag Man.
But who is he? And what's he actually doing? In fact, he's quickly running for his life, for what he discovers in one of these houses appears to be proof of a heinous string of murders. But is it? Joe Gunther, struggling to recover from a devastating personal loss, leads his VBI team to untangle the many conflicting pieces of evidence, while the burglar himself struggles for survival in the no-man's-land between the police and the villains. With no one knowing what to believe, or who to trust, with Tag Man running for his life in a way he never imagined possible, as no one knows who's watching as they sleep, or who truly did what, the "Tag Man" is critically acclaimed author Archer Mayor at his very finest.

Just need to let you know
I just watched the movie The Anonymous People movie on instant Netflix. So I need to tell you I'm a person in long-term recovery. I've been sober since December 23, 1995. It's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Even above my family because I know I would never have my family without sobriety and recovery. There are over 23 million people in the US in long-term recovery. 1/3 adolescents need drug and alcohol treatment and only 1/7 will receive it. Austin is opening it's first recovery high school in August. Uhighschool.com. Check it out.

Staring at the sun
I've been trying more lately to LOOK like I'm having fun dancing and looking into the other person's eyes while dancing. I am always actually having fun, but I guess I don't naturally look like it. Hey, I'm concentrating. This is my game face. But I guess people expect that If you're enjoying yourself you'll be smiling. Fair enough. I've been trying to look into DIDs eyes while we're dancing. Seems like a safe place to try it on for size. But that is like staring at the sun. Seems like it might be a good idea, but way too intense. The other day a guy looked right into my eyes and smiled a fairly creepy smile at me the entire dance. I really tried to reciprocate, but something about me was a tell that I was not into it. I remember the first showcase with DID I did, he said look like you're having the time of your life. I was barely able to grin at that point. I don't have to think about smiling when I'm doing lindy. Just comes naturally. Like I said, it's not like I'm not always having at least 75% fun with every dance step. But smiling while looking into the other person's eyes still eludes me. I don't understand how people do it. I can do it while talking. While listening. But not yet while dancing. I don't even want to think about doing some styling while smiling WHILE looking into the other persons eyes. Whoa, that's a mind-blower.

Dancing: I figured it out
Thanks to my mother's generosity buying me dancing lessons for my bday, I've been dancing, again. It is such pure joy, and I love it second most in my life. Second only to my family. I'm not very good at it, and it doesn't come naturally, but when I can follow a move or move my body in a certain way, it is so blissful. I think part of it is a spiritual experience. I'm not thinking about myself. At least not about any thoughts about myself. It's partly primal. My body wants to move to music. It's partly neurotransmitters. Dopamine is through the roof, and norepinepherine and epinepherine (so-called "stress" hormones) are also high - the excitement/anxiety coin. Dancing with DID is particularly enjoyable, which I think is a little bit astrological and some pheromones. I really wish Brad would try it. I think it's the only thing I don't like about him. I think he would really like Lindy Hop. It's athletic and so much fun! But, at least I'm glad he doesn't mind if I do it. And at Go Dance, it's so platonic and not creepy he has nothing to worry about. I've been to one class this time around and am going to go to the social dance on Sunday at 6:30 pm. Even if I have a broken leg. I'm going. I psych myself out of doing it because I'm afraid everyone will know I have no idea what I'm doing. Isn't that the dumbest thing? Something I love but let my brain tell me what to do. No way! The feet are doing the talking, now!

David Hasselhoff Is Pumped Up Germany Won the World Cup [VIDEO]
Germany loves David Hasselhoff. The feeling is definitely mutual.
Germany loves David Hasselhoff. The feeling is definitely mutual.
Dissing his record label publicly, being surpassed as the No. 1 celeb on Twitter, storming off stage after getting hit with a bottle, being busted leaving a brothel -- it's safe to say it's not been a great week for Justin Bieber.
While the world continues to try and wrap around its collective head around Corey Feldman's music video that may be the worst thing in the history of history, David Hasselhoff has come around to show us some celebrities can actually be quite cheeky.
When "Hoff" was in his prime, the "Hoff" was in his prime. Driving around a jet black car, diving of a speeding boat to save lives on the beach, then... The carnival ride came to a halt as if some rotten kid pulled the plug out of the wall. He'

How autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved intracellular catabolic system for bulk degradation, selectively degrades protein aggregates is poorly understood. Here, we show that several maternally derived germ P granule components are selectively eliminated by autophagy in somatic cells during C. elegans embryogenesis. The activity of sepa-1 is required for the degradation of these P granule components and for their accumulation into aggregates, termed PGL granules, in autophagy mutants. SEPA-1 forms protein aggregates and is also a preferential target of autophagy. SEPA-1 directly binds to the P granule component PGL-3 and also to the autophagy protein LGG-1/Atg8. SEPA-1 aggregates consistently colocalize with PGL granules and with LGG-1 puncta. Thus, SEPA-1 functions as a bridging molecule in mediating the specific recognition and degradation of P granule components by autophagy. Our study reveals a mechanism for preferential degradation of protein aggregates by autophagy and emphasizes the physiological significance of selective autophagy during animal development.

Review in Poetry
In the latest issue of Poetry magazine, I value Christina Pugh's notice about Marilyn Hacker's and Heather McHugh's latest books, not merely because we have the art of poetry sagely and sanely considered, and not merely because the reviewer considers the work of two very different poets with equal ease and aplomb -- but because of this paragraph, a withholding of praise in an otherwise laudatory summation :
At times, though, Hacker's cosmopolitanism has adversely affected her formal choices. Like so many others these days, she has fallen under the spell of the ghazal, and the book contains too many of them. This Persian form has become the multicultural flavor of the month for many poets who are formally-minded, and it's a very tough nut to crack in English. Hacker is no more immune to this linguistic weakness than anyone else, as shown in lines like the following: "I might wish, like any citizen to celebrate my country/but millions have reason to fear and hate my country." In short, there are some poems here that read like outtakes from Poets Against the War ("the war goes on and on and on and on").

Eminem faking it
Now, I like the talentless Mr Mathers about as much as I like the bubonic plague. But this is ridiculous. Apparently, gay activists are criticizing the rapper's use of the phrase "fake it" to describe some gay pop stars. You see, "fake it" sounds an awful lot like an anti-gay slur.
Is there any way we can banish both Mathers and these insane activists to Antarctica for the rest of their lives?

The year 2012 has spurred interest in the Maya people and the outlook toward this enigmatic civilization grows each day as we approach the winter solstice of 2012. In the Maya Heartland of Belize, the Maya are very much in our presence and we honor their hard work and dedication in contributing to Belize's rich heritage.

Belize's rich Maya heritage is something that all Belizeans share and take pride in, and it's been wonderful to see representatives from so many different sectors – government, private industry, art and cultural groups along with a range of individuals, work together to present and promote our real Maya heritage as world attention focuses on Belize.

Living in the tropics, you sometimes wonder what autumn in the northern climes must be like. We've seen the breathtaking photos on calendars, greeting cards, in magazines and elsewhere, so there's always a feeling of missing out on something, of the smell of wood smoke in the air, crunch of leaves underfoot, the nip at the tips of the nose… all those romantic autumn things we hear about.

Situated some 12 kilometres north of San Ignacio town and straddling the Belize – Guatemala border, El Pilar's 100 acres contains over 25 plazas, temples, palaces, residential structures, and causeways. Inhabited continuously between 800BC and 1,000AD, it supported a population of over 20,000 at its peak, and was one of the most important centres of the Lowland Maya. For us, one of the more interesting aspects of El Pilar is not just what has been found, but the way in which the research is carried out.

Sworn to protect the forbidden knowledge, the tribe elders have decided the time has now come for the tribe's people to reveal their treasure. According to tradition, after centuries of darkness, the stars have fallen into alignment, illuminating a skyward treasure map towards what some have been told is the Sun's earthly replica, the lost city of gold. Few scientists hold the key to decipher the ancient map. It is crucial that these findings are reported to the scientific world as they hold secrets that can help save the planet in such times of need. Unfortunately there are forces at work that wish to conceal such findings, and use these secrets to increase their own power, keeping the world in darkness and chaos.

Inverse Semigroups and Sheu's Groupoid for the Odd Dimensional Quantum Spheres In this paper, we give a different proof of the fact that the odd dimensional
quantum spheres are groupoid $C^{*}$-algebras. We show that the $C^{*}$-algebra
$C(S_{q}^{2\ell+1})$ is generated by an inverse semigroup $T$ of partial
isometries. We show that the groupoid $\mathcal{G}_{tight}$ associated with the
inverse semigroup $T$ by Exel is exactly the same as the groupoid
considered by Sheu.

Questlove and Giant Step's WMC Party at the Florida Room, March 12
Photo by Stacey Russell |
Questo at the decks. |
The Florida at the Delano is one of those places. The Lenny Kravitz-designed atmosphere is great. The crowd, the music and everything in between makes their $15 cocktails all worth it. Well, that was until Questlove of The Roots showed up last night.
To say it was filled to the brim is an understatement. The only reason we got in was due to the fact we know the doorman. Shoutout to Granville Adams. You're a saint.

And once you got through the door, there was quite the motley crew partying as one. From typical Miami Beach mamas to Rastafarians, everyone was jamming to Questlove's beats.
Speaking of Questlove's beats: They were random, but in the best way possible. At one point, we were jamming to the best of the '80s. Next, a little hip-hop and rap. Next thing you knew, you were shaking your hips to what sounded like your grandmother's get-down jazz. Did we love all the beats? No. But would we like a copy of his mixtape for the drive to work? Yes.

- Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel: "Brendan Malone never wanted his children to follow his career path. But his son Michael wanted to become a basketball coach more than anything else. And because of that, they will reunite when the Orlando Magic face the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night in Oakland, Calif. Brendan Malone, 69, is the Magic's lead assistant coach. Michael Malone, 41, is the Warriors' lead assistant coach. […] They share more than that. They have the same build, the same gravelly voice and the same accent developed from childhoods spent in the New York borough of Queens. And they both have a strong admiration for each other. To outsiders, Brendan Malone seems gruff and stern. But he gushes with a father's pride when he lists his six kids' accomplishments. That's the case when he talks about how Michael Malone worked his way up the coaching ladder from a job as a volunteer assistant at Oakland University in Michigan to assistant-coaching jobs with the New York Knicks, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the New Orleans Hornets and, now, the Warriors. Brendan Malone never wanted Michael or any of his kids to become coaches partly because of the sacrifices his wife, Maureen, and their children made."

- Kevin Pelton of Basketball Prospectus: "While we often talk about balanced scoring, Orlando has a slightly different concept–balanced ballhanding and passing. The Magic are above average in terms of assisted field goals despite lacking a pure playmaker. Turkoglu hands out nearly as many assists as point guard Jameer Nelson (including a team-high six on Wednesday), and six Orlando players (Nelson, Turkoglu, Chris Duhon, Jason Richardson, J.J. Redick and Howard) average at least two assists per game–a claim just two other teams (the Dallas Mavericks and the Milwaukee Bucks) can match. Pair that with the Magic's outside shooting and opposing defenses can struggle to keep up. When Orlando needs a score, however, Turkoglu is the man. He is a difficult matchup for defenses in the pick-and-roll because he is a triple threat, capable of driving, shooting and passing. At 6-10, Turkoglu almost always has a height advantage against his defender, giving him the opportunity to survey the defense and see passing lanes even when he is trapped. That doesn't make him worth $50 million, but that does make him a valuable piece of what remains a contending team."

- Chris Bernucca of SheridanHoops.com: "Among others, the following point guards have better numbers than Nelson's paltry 7.8 points and 5.3 assists: Ricky Rubio and Andre Miller, who don't start for their teams, and Jarrett Jack, D.J. Augustin and Jeff Teague, who are in their first full seasons as starters. An All-Star in 2009, Nelson also is shooting 42 percent from the field and isn't providing his usual spark to Orlando's offense."
