Travel Insurance is compulsory on all Intrepid trips and is a condition of booking with Intrepid. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses, including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.
This will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with Intrepid, but also covers you for many of the things that can go wrong while overseas.
Your insurance policy will need to be sighted by your leader on day one of your trip. Failure to do so will mean exclusion from the trip. Please ensure you have your policy number and emergency telephone number for your insurance company. If this is unavailable please ensure you have the necessary information required by your insurance company in case of an emergency.
We also recommend you take out cancellation insurance. This may cover cancellation penalties in certain circumstances if you have to cancel your trip unexpectedly due to illness, injury or unforeseen circumstances. Unfortunately cancellation insurance will not cover you if you change your mind.

Accommodation and transfers
Intrepid want to make sure your trip starts and ends on the right foot. Whether you're the type of person who loves to be early, or the last person on the dancefloor at a party, our accommodation services allow you to squeeze every last drop of excitement out of your adventure.
When booking your trip, just let us know if you are planning on extending your trip, and Intrepid can handle all your pre and post trip accommodation requirements for you.
Once your accommodation is all sorted, it's time to think about getting from A to B. As much as we love airports, arriving in a new one isn't always the most pleasant way start to a holiday. Unless you love swarms of taxi drivers vying for your attention and confusing transport maps, there's nothing better than spotting a friendly face among the crowd and being whisked away from the chaos. That's why, in most destinations, we offer arrival and departure transfers as an optional extra – so you can spend less time haggling for a cab fare and more time exploring.
Oh, and if you're a single traveller, we've got you covered too. A single supplement is available on most of our trips for an extra charge. Just ask our reservation staff or travel agent at the time of booking.
So you've touched down, made it to the hotel and slipped on some comfy walking shoes. What next?
Sure, you could hit the minibar, relax in the lobby or wander around aimlessly for a few hours. Or you could kickstart your adventure by joining an Urban Adventure.
From street art to street food, in just a few hours you'll be well and truly under the skin of the city you're visiting. Got a few days spare before or after your trip? No problems, most Urban Adventures depart daily and departures are guaranteed.
Or if you find yourself with some spare time during your trip, your leader can recommend and arrange a range of optional activities for you.
For a full list of Urban Adventures, ask your travel agent or visit urbanadventures.com
Flying. For some it is a source of constant joy – a landmark in human achievement that is unmatched by any other form of transport. For others, it is a necessary evil – a tortuous purgatory between home and your next adventure.
The reality is, until someone invents a teleportation device, flying is the most effective way to get out and start exploring the world.
Intrepid offers a range of flight services, including wholesale fares, detailed quotes and flight reservations.
So drop us a line and you'll be sky high in no time.

Blues set to lose Djourou
19 Dec 2007 - 14:35:33
Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish has revealed he has failed in a bid to extend the loan stay of Arsenal's Johan Djourou.
McLeish was hoping to keep the 20-year-old defender at St Andrew's until the end of the season.
However, with Gunners defender Kolo Toure set to miss several matches while away on international duty with Ivory Coast at the African Cup of Nations, Djourou is wanted back at the Emirates Stadium.
Djourou has made 13 appearances for the Blues since his arrival in August.
"Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has told me he's taking him back in January," McLeish told the Birmingham Mail.
"He will be a loss, for sure. It's disappointing that he isn't going to be with us for much longer, but you have to respect Arsenal's decision.
"Johan is a big presence of a boy, no doubt about that, and those kind of players seem to be a feature of many a squad in the Premier League."

"That a New York medallion sells for over $1m suggests well-intended commitment devices can simply become a barrier to entry."
That a NY medallion sells for over $1m suggests that the profits of NY taxis are far in excess of a reasonable return on the operating costs of the business. The returns are called monopoly rent, and the objections to changing the rules are called (from memory of my economics class) 'rent seeking'.
The problem with NY must be that there is no room for more taxis. Imagine if there were 2x as many - there would be no room for anyone else on the roads. This is an interesting challenge to solve.
Each medallion owner in NY can get about $75,000/year from the cab that is operated on his/her behalf - meaning good money right now, when interest rates on other options are so low. This would probably be a better explanation of why the price of a medallion has shot up so dramatically in the past decade - not much to do with the money earned from a taxi cab itself. This is all elegantly explained here http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/10/21/why-taxi-medallions-cos...
Ok. But let's not be unfair and stop at taxis. What about law? I don't need someone who studied years and years of law to explain to me, say, my rights against my landlord in certain situations. Most societies are cluttered with unnecessary restrictions and privileges...
there is absolutely no need whatsoever for regulatory intervention in taxi markets. If customers like uniform prices, there will be cab companies that offer them.
I respectfully disagree. I usually would not but, I hear much of the 'deregulate everything' lately and (not to imply) it is usually because of a lack of critical thinking.
If there is an industry that does need regulation, taxis are a good candidate for many reasons.
To start, driving licenses are a form of regulation on taxis, and where I am from they need a special one to courier any paying passenger (Bus, cab, limo) with good reason.
Cost is also an area I want regulated in the taxi industry for the reasons mentioned in the article (plus some that are not mentioned.) Tourists (and seniors for that matter) are often the individuals using cabs the most and they are vunerable to getting gouged. You may say, 'cavaet emptor' but, a simple a cheap regulation will save a lot of headaches and improve the confidence of tourists visiting your city.
Then there is safety. Again, in my area, they must have at least four doors, be able to be unlocked from the back seat, and of course pass safety inspections.
Regulation for the protection and stability of jobs and the industry as a whole can be argued about but, to say 'no regulation what so ever' is just a recipe for disaster.
I agree completely with you. Every cab driver should have to have a driver's license, four doors, pass safety inspections, etc. (In my jurisdiction, of course, the driver's license and safety inspection are already required to be on the road, so hardly a regulation on the taxi industry.)
The problem is that the extant regulations go much further than that, and have no rational basis except to reduce supply.
This is the perfect example of the problem of regulation - regulation is imposed for the right reason, and as we have seen with the financial industry, when too much regulation is stripped away or not enforced, problems will arise, but regulations become mismatched to problems over time or they create interest groups who are resistant to change.
What one needs with regulation is periodic review to see how it affects the industry and whether it is serving producers and consumers well, and to be protected from the vagaries of special interest groups trying to distort them (farmers, taxi drivers, financiers etc.).
You nailed the problem right at the head. Excellent comment!
"But low barriers to entry create a risk of having too many taxis on the roads. The number of taxi drivers in New York and Washington, DC, shot up between 1930 and 1932, as the unemployed sought work during the Depression." This is exactly what is happening now in Dublin and regulation is being prepared! Luckily everyone still remembers how bad it was pre-deregulation so the suggestions so far have been quite reasonable and hopefully it will stay that way.
"There is supporting evidence. In 1998 Dublin suffered from a distorted licensing system. Demand had doubled in the previous 20 years but the number of licences had not kept up. Waiting times were over an hour. Deregulation in 2000 reduced entry costs (the cost of a car and a licence) by 74%. The result was more than three times as many cabs on the roads, lower waiting times, maintained cab quality and higher passenger satisfaction—all in two years."
I'm guessing you read a 2002 report on it? (the mention of two years) As I've just implied, the amount of cabs has continued to increase since then, with many part time drivers, some of which also receive social welfare (which I think is illegal, but they manage to do it anyway).
This extra increase of taxis (on top of the pre-reccesion ones) has made things worse for consumers.
1. On a basic level, congestion, at nighttime there are long tail backs of taxis, mostly empty ones which of course lengthens the time taxi journeys take and thereby also makes the journey more expensive, as when in slow traffic Irish taxis fares increase by time.
2. Related to that the high level of competition has led to more dangerous behaviour by taxi drivers.
(As an anecdote my friend and I hailed a taxi that was a little bit down the road and a taxi driver on the other side of the road quickly did an illegal U-turn in front of that other taxi. More commonly they'll speed up if they see someone hailing and break suddenly or they'll suddenly swerve in if they see someone who only might want a taxi)
3. Quality has decreased or at least variance in quality has increased. This because much of the market is based on hailing or taxi ranks and there's a strong tradition that you must get the first cab in the queue and a similarly people will get the first taxi that stops for them and only complain to their friends about it later not to the driver, so this allows very poor quality cabs to exist. However there are also a lot of taxis/taxi companies that party rely on repeat customers who ring up, so this prevents the quality from deteriorating entirely and you get some very nice taxis. (An important side note is that taxi plates can be put on top of any type of car in Ireland. It's not like London were they have specific cabs that must be used)
4. The high competition and ease of entry has seen an increase in open racism the problems of part-time drivers and low quality cabs is blamed by some on "Nigerian" taxi drivers (and the people making those remarks would normally be calling any black taxi drivers Nigerian) They'll normally have (probably true) anecdotes about the actions of some "Nigerian" taxi drivers which they'll then generalise from and say things like "they need to get rid of those Nigerians". Naturally the stories about these taxi drivers gets exaggerated and made sound more frequent than reality. I've even heard some of my otherwise intelligent and reasonable friends say they'd never get in a taxi driven by a black person in Dublin, (they're usually women fearing rape).
So while this article is right in that deregulation of the Irish taxi industry was the correct move in 2000, there is certainly a need for more regulation now that unemployment is much higher. Of course this post lacks empirical study and relies much too much on my own personal experience to be taken as such but I hope it's food for thought anyway.
There is one more aspect of the Swedish liberalisation in the 1990s. Since the pricing was set free any taxi traveller in Sweden now should ask about the price beforehand. I know foreign visitors who have paid three tinmes the normal rate for simple journeys from the airport.
The writer of the article should have checked out the taxi liberalization in Amsterdam in the year 2000. The prevalent opinion is that it created more problems than it solved.
In Managua supply outstrips demand, prices are negotiated before the trip and other passengers are picked up enroute. It could scarecely be more efficient and we all seem to survive.
Interesting article!
But deregulating the taxi business alone create sufficient growth and won't save the Euro, there are more closed professions to be dealt with ...
"The Swedish experience suggests one downside to deregulation... fares to rural areas (low-value one-way trips) rose, in line with theory."
What is the failure here. One solution would be to MOVE TO SOMEPLACE ELSE / not expect people to subsidize your choice of neighborhood.
Some people are truly land-locked. You wish to condemn them back to serfdom??
paying for the cab is not serfdom.
getting up for work is not wage slavery.
property is not theft.
property is not murder.
get off my sofa.
you may not borrow my records
Rural dwellers pay more than cityfolk if they go by bus, train, or their own car. Why should taxis be different?
And it's not like taxis were the cheap alternative before deregulation either. If travel costs are a concern, use a different means of transportation.
public transport is one of those things that the governments tend to do, good governments provided a network of options from bus to train to trams for the good of both citizens and the economy.
I don't see why you would deny this to someone living rurally? if you don't want government to provide public transport what would you have them do? only defense? law? besides what about all the things in the cities that people in the country subsidise: opera houses,museums and metros. You could boil society down to only the costs that directly affect you and complain about all the others you pay but where does that end?

"Great John Puller Story"
Great Puller story didn't wan to get out of the car at the end of the day, would find things to drive to for I could listen longer
"Sappy, Hokey, Improbable"
Used a different female narrator......or just one
Ron's only problem was having to read sappy lines. Cassidy is consistently bad.
The female general
Would like to trade this book for another, but have read many Baldacci books - actually liked some. My bad.
"Not my favorite storyline"
I thought the story was too far fetched and the story probably couldn't have worked without suspending one's belief that it could happen.
This is my second one of Baldacci and I doubt that I would try another
The narration was done well with the material they had to work with.
No way.
"Movie Time?"
I've only listened to five books so far but I really liked this book and I can't wait till the movie comes out!
"Bad Performance"
I found the female reader, Orlaugh Cassidy. to be annoying, at best. This is the second in the Puller series, and if she is going to stay on, I'll be taking a break from Baldacci!
Yes, I generally have liked his books.
Not listen to Orlaugh Cassidy again.
"A thrilling Read."
In my top 25.
Baldacci has written some other sterling books.
I am used to their voices. They add to the build up.
The big question.
"Great new character from Baldacci"
ABSOLUTELY! John Puller is a great character. You learn more about him in this second installment. The story-line is good and very well delivered by McLarty and Cassidy. Puller is a combination of Jack Reacher, Oliver Stone, and Sean King; Tough, analytic, but has a side that actually cares about people he comes in contact with. Be sure to read Zero Day first to understand some of the references .
I like the continued interaction between Puller and the continuing characters, like his father, brother, and a certain 1 star General.
McLarty and Cassidy do a marvelous job in this presentation as well as others. They add a level of realism that is not found when one narrator attempts to do all characters.
After reading Zero Day, I was very happy to pick back up with John Puller and see that he was ok, but still trying to work through the issues from the previous story. This 2nd outing with John has made him very real for me.
I'm a big Baldacci fan, having read nearly all his books. I was very excited to see this new character and share his journey. I still like his older characters like Stone and King and Maxwell, but it's always good to to meet new heroes.
"Absorbing Baldacci"
In his captivating style Baldacci again writes a novel filled with excitement and the need to continue reading/listening until its final words.
"Great Listen"
I love the plot about human trafficing, which is really going on in part of the world. It may not be to the extent that was told in this book but it puts a human face on a really horrific problem. The Charater Puller is a great hero in that he knows when to do what is hunmanly the right thing, even if it goes against his belief.
The Charater in the book remindes me a little of Jack Reacher that Lee Child writes about. I can't wait for another Puller audio.
Puller and Carlson
Yes, but it took me four days to finish listening to it, only because I had other things to do.
Great listen, great charaters. Will recommend this to all my friends.
It was fast paced and kept me engaged til the very end. The narrators were great and their voices changed very well with each individual character. Another great Baldacci story!

VideoGamer.com Previews STO
Wesley Yin-Poole of VideoGamer.com made it out to GamesCom to talk to us about Star Trek Online. Give his impressions a read here.
Link to the news article. |
Wow. Long article. Makes a change from the last few (not that they were bad mind you). Thanks for the heads up :)
It's a nice little preview. Having someone elaborate on the BO powers and how they are used in space combat was good.
thx for the post all im starting to feel like i read 90% of that info the last few weeks :)
tell your pr to move on and give us something new hehehe |
I like the fact that Craig got disappointed by a lucky shot destroying all three Klingon Ships, but I personally am starting to wonder what the Klingon Missions will be like.
Nice article its a long one though, but I enjoyed reading it. :)
Pretty much the same info as the previous reviews but I must admit he added some humor to it to make a more interesting read. :)
Although a lot of this article is the same info we've seen a dozen times already there is some new stuff too.
One bit I noticed, he didnt seem to have a helm officer. Do we get one later, on bigger ships or do we, the captains fly the ships all the way through? I'd like to see us get a helm officer to provide some extra manuvers, attack patterns, sudden turns, short warp jumps or something. |

1/2 cup butter
1 (16 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (16 ounce) package colored miniature marshmallows
2 cups flaked coconut
I love making these cookies for Christmas but I found you HAVE to use MARGARINE instead of real butter. When I used real butter, I didn't get a creamy texture and the marshmallows were really hard to coat. I still haven't found an easy way to apply the coconut evenly but they're still fun to make and even better to eat.
I tried this and I think the recipe needs to be a little more specific regarding what you do after you remove from heat. After following the directions, I read other recipes on this site for the same thing and it says to let cool. Then it goes on to say add marshmallows etc. So the marshmallows melted into the hot chocolate and the windows didn't look quite as they should. It also changed the taste
22 Ratings
I love these! My Mom has made this recipe every Christmas, and now I do too. They look pretty on a tray of assorted cookies. Something I do to make it easier to shape them into logs is to use empty aluminum foil boxes - the bigger size. I line the boxes with plastic wrap, sprinkle coconut on the wrap, then add the chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with additional coconut, close up the wrap and the box, put them in the fridge to cool, and you're ready to slice!
These were so simple to fix and tasted pretty good too. They are very very sweet though. I used unsalted butter and regular milk chocolate chips. The chocolate took a long time to melt over low heat (about 18 minutes) but it also did not melt the marshmallows as I was afraid it would. I don't have a double boiler I just used the lowest heat setting and stirred it often. I left out the nuts due to possible allergies as these were for gift trays. I rolled the logs up in waxed paper and froze them overnight. They sliced easily the following morning straight from the freezer. Thanks for the great recipe. This was the first time I've ever made these and they were so easy!
This is an old recipe my mom used to make in the 70's. I melted the chocolate and butter carefully in the microwave (watched it closely) without any problems. I also recommend letting the chocolate cool a little before mixing the marshmallows in (maybe 5 minutes). I also added about 1/4 cup coconut into the mixture. The recommendation from a previous rating to put them into wax-paper lined empty foil boxes (or cling wrap boxes, etc) worked great. Also, I used semi-sweet chips and they were fine. And I omitted the nuts. Yum!
I love these cookies! So easy to make and they bring back many memories of my grandma making these for me aroung christmas time.
Yummy, enjoyed by all!
I love these! I have made them for years, I originally had them at my ex-mother-in-law's way back in the 70's. Yesterday I made them with Jet-Puffed Fruit Mallows. I think they turned out great and love the banana flavor in them!

Great Divide Old Ruffian Barley Wine Style Ale
Great Divide Brewing Company - Denver, Colorado USA
Barleywine (ABV 10.27) (IBU 90)
[Best served in a Snifter]
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Aroma: 8/10
Appearance: 4/5
Taste: 8/10
Palate: 3/5
Overall: 17/20
The pour was a clear dark mahogany red with a large (2-3 finger) light tan pillowy head that was mostly lasting, receding down to a large puddle and collar with excellent sheeting of lace.
The aroma was of a sweet toasted biscuit malt, pine hops and a sweet doughy yeast with notes of toffee, citrus (grapefruit), caramel and some dark fruit (plums and raisons).
The taste was sweet and rather malty with hints of toffee and dark fruit at first and then became slightly hoppy with a really nice bitter citrus note and a decent alcohol warming sensation at the end. The flavor hung around for a long while with a bitter sweet citrus flavor left to lie on the taste buds.
Mouthfeel was just below medium in body with a dry oily texture and a prickly carbonation.
Overall a sensationally tasting Barleywine with just the right blending of sweet malts and bitter hops...

I went with some friends last night to hear N.T. Wright lecture on the message of his latest book, Surprised by Hope. Homeboy was amazing.
Last night's message was proof you don't have to be a rah-rah sis-boom-bah gesticulator with a bazillion illustrations to preach a compelling message. You just have to have something extraordinary to say and you just have to say it in a compelling way. Of course, a British accent doesn't hurt.
The thrust of the book and of the lecture last night was a resurrection-shaped Christianity. On the theological side, Wright corrected the dearly held cultural Christian belief in the afterlife as "going to heaven when you die," emphasizing that whatever the disembodied existence in paradise after death is, it is only a way station on the way to the real destination — glorified bodied existence in the new heavens and new earth. This is, as Wright called it last night and as he calls it in several books, life after life after death.
He also put another nail in the coffin of premillennialist rapturism.
He emphasized again that he does affirm the future second coming of Jesus.
He reiterated briefly the historic/logical reasons for belief in the bodily resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
He was just all around awesome.
It was only near the end that he began to passionately expound on the "What now?" of the message. Wright mentioned that as he was finishing the first draft of Surprised by Hope, he realized he really wasn't done, that he needed to go on to say what this recovery of biblical cosmology and eschatology meant for the mission of the Church, for evangelism.
If the resurrection is not merely about "going to heaven when you die," but is actually about God's new creation finally breaking into the world of space and matter, what are the implications for us now? We are clearly not "passing through." It calls for a radical rethink of "this world is not my home" and being, as Paul says, "citizens of heaven."
And this is where the bones get muscles. We are his workmanship, created for good works in Christ Jesus, that God created for us beforehand, that we might walk in them. Wright casts that using the Greek behind it — we are his poema, his artwork, his "poem."
And then of course this means what many of us have been saying for quite some time: the radical implications of the gospel are that we are set free to be the tangible presence of Christ in a world caught up in the brokenness of the fall. It is our duty and should be our delight, as ambassadors of heaven and agents of the new creation, to bring glory to the God who is setting the world to rights by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, bringing freedom to the captives, comforting the distressed, forgiving debts, grieving with those who mourn, etc etc.
The motivation and power for this ecclesiological movement of new creationism is, of course, the amazing gospel of Jesus Christ's atoning death and resurrection.
I got to meet one of my favorite bloggers last night. Trevin Wax and I have corresponded via email before, but we finally met face to face and got to chat a bit. Trevin (fresh off interviewing Bishop Wright yesterday afternoon) remarked on how many young people were in attendance, college students and young professionals, all gathering to hear a sixty-something bald-headed Anglican bishop in a clerical collar and a big golden cross dangling from around his neck.
This is why this message resonates:
The younger generation is sick of the show, tired of the self-oriented cultural Christianity of their parents and their parents' churches, and eager for the gospel of the kingdom that makes the crooked ways of the world straight. N.T. Wright is one of the few guys competently and compellingly proclaiming such a gospel (and offering it as the ramifications of right doctrine, not optional to it or in place of it).
Others blogging on last night's talk:
Phil Wilson
Pete Wilson
Gavin Richardson (who has audio of the talk available)
Thomas McKenzie
Cameron Conant (who highlights one of the best of Wright's lines: "You are but a shadow of your future self.")
If you were there and posted on the experience, let me know and I'll give you a link.

A benefit for an area high schooler battling bone cancer was held Thursday night in St. Paul.
Casey's Cancer Bash was held at O'Gara's Bar & Grill in St. Paul to support cancer research. Casey O'Brien is a football, hockey and lacrosse player at Cretin-Derham Hall High School.
O'Brien and his family have been keeping a journal documenting his fight. He has been receiving chemotherapy at Amplatz Children's Hospital.
Cretin-Derham Hall has also been supportive, including last December when students at the school recorded and sent O'Brien a Christmas Carol.
O'Brien is a big Minnesota Wild fan, and as you could imagine was in favor of the team's 5-4 overtime win against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night.
The family is accepting donations to help O'Brien in his fight.

Re: Compression post repaired
Here are some pictures of the two support for the compression post under the cabin sole. You can see the fiberglass cloth cracking and separating from the supports.
Here is the Aft support, and most visible from the bilge. The separation is at the bottom of the the fiberglass attaching the support to the hull in the bilge.
Here is the forward support at the location between the two supports. You can clearly see the delamination where the support is attached to the hull in the bilge wall.
In this shot, it doesn't look like they use much to attach the forward support on the forward portion of the bilge wall. I think it should be well attached here for better support.
Here is a shot of both supports and the problem area
Here is a shot of the cabin sole of what I have cut away to start the repairs.
Here is a shot in the head showing my initial outline cutting of the head sole. You can see they used a piece of FRP, white square, to shim the wood compression post.
Initially I thought Islander used a piece of 3/4 thick plywood under the wood post, between the wood post and plywood floor, but after taking the head wood work apart to be able to do the repairs, and having better light and visual of the wood post, it's actually a water line from resting water in the boat for a long period of time. The waterline is visible on the salon sautés too. Good thing they used the grad of plywood that they did, most plywood would have rotted, but the floor is fine. The teak and holy plywood is junk for sure. The extended period of water that high in the boat would contribute to the degeneration of the support fiberglassed sections too.
I will post more pictures and how I repair the area as I get time.

Eastern Washington Eagles (11-12)
@Northern Arizona Lumberjacks (5-18)
Thursday, February 02
J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome
Attendance: 587
Eastern Washington
Northern Arizona
Flagstaff, AZ (Sports Network) - Collin Chiverton led the way with 13 points as the Eastern Washington Eagles downed the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, 74-68, in a Big Sky Conference tilt at the Rolle Activity Center.
For the Eagles (11-12, 5-5 Big Sky), Cliff Colimon finished with 12 points, Cliff Ederaine posted a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds and Parker Kelly chipped in 11 points.
The Lumberjacks (5-18, 1-10) were led by Ephraim Ekanem with 15 points. James Douglas scored 14 points, Durrell Norman added 11 points and Stallon Saldivar scored 10 points.
NAU had a strong first half, shooting 48.4 percent from the field and holding EWU to just 34.8 percent shooting. The Lumberjacks led by as many as nine in the first, but the Eagles were able to cut into that deficit before halftime, as NAU took a 32-29 lead into intermission.
After the break, EWU still struggled from the field, making only 35.3 percent of their field goals, but were able to connect on 6-of-15 from three-point range. NAU shot somewhat better, hitting on 42.9 percent from the floor in the second, but they missed all five of their three-pointers in the half. After again trailing by nine early in the second half, the Eagles used a 13-3 run midway through the second to turn a six point deficit into a four-point lead, 60-56. The Eagles never trailed again and held on for the victory, handing the Lumberjacks their 10th straight defeat.
NAU outscored EWU in the paint, 32-18. The Lumberjacks turned the ball over 17 times, which the Eagles converted into 24 points.

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — The Bureau of Land Management is looking for volunteers to help plant 2,500 trees in an area ravaged by a wildfire last spring.
The volunteers will be planting cottonwood and willow trees on Feb. 18 in the Mittry Lake area, about 8 miles northeast of Yuma.
The 750-acre Laguna fire in May destroyed valuable marsh and riparian habitat in the area, and a recreation area.
Since the fire, native seed has been allowed to germinate, the area has been cleared of invasive species and holes have been drilled to prepare for the planting.
Volunteers are asked to bring plenty of water, protection from the sun, long pants, closed-toe shoes or boots, and gloves.

Picked up a Glock 26 yesterday and a DeSantis Scorpion IWB holster. I am really liking the combo. Nice to carry and pretty comfortable. Put 200 rounds of WWB through it and then a mag of HPs. So far I love it! Hoping to go back and shoot it again this week.
What do I shoot with? Canon gear of course

Congrats on the new purchase! Southpaw?
Yep, i'm a southpaw! Right eye dominant too so i need more practice to be consistant in shooting. I find it difficult to shoot lefty w/ right eye compared to me shooting a rifle with my left eye open. I swapped hands yesterday and fired a mag righty and I was more accurate, which is good to know I can shoot righty, but it feels awkward to me to do so. More range time needed. I haven't gotten out there with the handguns lately. Going to take a couple of courses as well to learn more.
Practice a lot. Use vaseline or scotch tape across your strong eye to get used to the way everything looks with your weak eye. I was right eye/right eye until I scraped the cornea off my right eye about 3 months ago. Now my right eye is much blurrier than the left, but it has not affected my shooting at all. Good muscle memory pays off.
Raise your right handDo you solemnly swear to defend the name Glock and all that it stands for? Do you promise to push your friends into buying a Glock which will in turn strengthen Glock ownership in the world?
uhhmm. . . . .i do

Flash Flood Watch Continues Today
Thursday, July 31, 2014
(Colorado Springs, CO) -- A flash flood watch continues today across the Pikes Peak region and most of the eastern part of the state. The watch is in effect through the evening hours, with more rain expected. A flash flood warning shut down Highway 24 from Manitou Springs to Cascade for a time last night. The warning was prompted by heavy rain reported over the Waldo Canyon burn scar. People are being warned to not drive into areas with water over the roadways.

Ok, DH and I have a first name that we both really like but I have a first cousin by the same name. Here's the kicker, though. I have never met her nor do I ever communicate with her. My grandmother does, though. It's not as though we had a falling out or anything; she just grew up over-seas and we don't know each other. Is it weird to give our daughter the same name? Thoughts?
My girl name has already been used by a second cousin but as a boy name. I asked my mom and she said no way would anyone be offended at all. Maybe ask a few family members? I don't think it's a big deal. Thanks to marriage, adoption of older kids and step kids we have four Kens, two Steves, two Mikes, etc. And my sister named her baby Caleb even though it's her husbsnd's first cousin's name--and they seem him every day!
Use it! My DH has a first cousin with his name. And a lot his grandmother's great grandchildren (6 to be exact) all have the same first and middle name since they were all named after his grandfather. I think one person naming after someone is enough, but apparently they don't lol! So YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can 100% absolutely use it no questions asked! NO CONUNDRUM!
I think if it's someone most of the family doesn't speak with then the name is free game. I have a first cousin whose name I wanted to "steal" for my DS but we decided against it as he spends a lot of time with my family. But if it he had lived far away and not by most of my family and they didn't all know him so well, I would've totally used it!

Thank you,
Are you sure you didn't modify anything else? Everything xposed can be undone by disabling modules or in the case of a boot loop you can flash the disable xposed zip in recovery. Once disabled it has no residual effects and you should be able to troubleshoot from there. But keep in mind some modules (gravity box) can be used with touch wiz based roms but not everything is supported
