Wear nails it -- a record leap in long jump
Grade 11 student sets provincial mark
ROBYN WEAR was practising for her first long jump attempt at the 2013 Milk Provincial Track and Field Championships, but couldn't quite get her takeoff down.
She was over or behind the board on several practice leaps, but the 16-year-old now holds the provincial long jump record.
Wear's 5.88-metre leap is only two centimetres off the Canadian standard, a mark that would allow her to compete at the international level.
"It was honestly one of the most amazing feelings. I've been off on a calf injury and I thought 'there's no way I can jump' because that's my jumping leg," she said.
But when it was her turn she thought of Diana Stevens, the executive director of Athletics Manitoba who died in a car accident last month, and sprinted for the board.
"I just said 'this is for you Diana.' I hit the board and I was in the air and I wasn't coming down! I was so happy. Right when I hit the board I knew this was going to be a personal best, but I had no idea it would be as far as it was."
Wear surpassed Janna Nikkel's 5.64 -metre record set in 1991.
According to Wear's long jump coach, Alanna Boudreau, there's only room to get better.
"She's had the potential to do that kind of jump for a while now, it's just been a matter of putting things together," Boudreau said. "There's still room to grow, so that's kind of the awesome and scary part about her. You look at that jump and you go 'OK, you just jumped 5.88 and I still have a list of things that we're going to work on when we come back to practice.' "
Originally from Gimli, Wear moved to her aunt and uncle's house in Winnipeg so she could focus on her track and field career. She does skill and strength training four days a week and trains with Winnipeg Optimist Athletics.
The Springs Christian Academy student believes living in Winnipeg is the best way to achieve her dreams.
"I do have a dream to go to the Olympics," she said. "At first it seemed kind of far-fetched -- I mean, a person in Grade nine wanting to make the Olympics -- but now I see how much I've improved."
Wear is steadily improving too. Two years ago in provincials she had a long jump of 4.90 metres. Now she's jumping nearly a metre more.
However, long jump is not her only event. She's competing in the varsity girls multi-event -- 100 metres, 800 metres, shot put and long jump. She finished first in her 100 heat and leads the pack so far.
Wayne McMahon supervises Wear's program and believes it's more than skill and strength that makes her such a well-rounded competitor.
"She's tall and strong, but her best qualities are that she's really committed to doing things, works well, is consistent and has a good attitude. Those things are more important than her natural ability," he said.
The Grade 11 student has received offers from universities, but she is not sure what she will do after graduation. She's considering a health-related field like physiotherapy or nutritionist, and is also considering journalism. If possible, she would like to stay in Winnipeg.
"I'm not sure where I want to run. I kind of want to stay here because home is where the heart is. I've gotten as far as I am here, so I think I can get further here too."
So far, Wear has only jumped once at the provincial championships. Both she and her coaches believe she has the potential to break her new record -- possibly this weekend.
"My spirits are up and my confidence is up. I just need to stay out of the sun and eat properly, get some rest. I think it's more than obtainable because that adrenaline makes you go even further."

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford missing since Thursday!

Sanford, missing since Thursday, reportedly located
By John O'Connor and Clif LeBlanc
The whereabouts of Gov. Mark Sanford was unknown for nearly four days, and some state leaders question who was in charge of the executive office.
But Sanford's office told the lieutenant governor's office Monday afternoon that Sanford has been reached and he is fine, said Frank Adams, head of Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer's office on aging.
Neither the governor's office nor the State Law Enforcement Division, which provides security for governors, had been able to reach Sanford after he left the mansion Thursday in a black SLED Suburban SUV, said Sen. Jake Knotts and three others familiar with the situation but declined to be identified.
Sanford's last known whereabouts had been near Atlanta because a mobile telephone tower picked up a signal from his phone, authorities said. His office now knows where he is, Adams said.
First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press earlier Monday her husband has been gone for several days and she did not know where.
She said she was not concerned.
The governor's state and personal phones had been turned off and he had not responded to phone or text messages since at least the weekend, a source familiar with the situation said.
Most mobile phones cannot be tracked if they are turned off.
Jenny Sanford said the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something.
The governor's office issued a statement Monday afternoon: "Gov. Sanford is taking some time away from the office this week to recharge after the stimulus battle and the legislative session, and to work on a couple of projects that have fallen by the wayside. We are not going to discuss the specifics of his travel arrangements or his security arrangements."
One official familiar with the situation said there was no indication that foul play might have been involved because Sanford occasionally makes trips without his security detail.
Knotts, a longtime Sanford critic, said he contacted SLED Chief Reggie Lloyd Saturday after he heard reports the governor could not be reached.
"Chief Lloyd confirmed that my information is legitimate," Knotts said. "He shared my concerns" about succession of power in Sanford's absence, the Lexington Republican said. Lloyd could not be reached immediately on Monday.
"I was recently made aware that Governor Sanford has frequently been eluding SLED agents and disappearing at odd times," Knotts said. Previously, Sanford has not been out of all contact - including with his own office - for this long before, a source, who insisted on anonymity, said.
Knotts said the state's chief executive should never be unreachable.
"As the head of our state, in the unfortunate event of a state of emergency or homeland security situation, Governor Sanford should be available at all times to the Chief of SLED," the senator said.
"If for any reason, including the unknown whereabouts of the Governor, he is unable to perform the duties of his office the Constitution provides that the lieutenant governor assumes the position of governor.
"I want to know immediately who is running the executive branch in the governor's absence," Knotts said.
The question of succession came just after Sanford became governor in 2003.
He joined the Air Force Reserve and was sent to Alabama for two week's training with his unit, the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron based in Charleston. Sanford did not transfer power to Bauer at the time, saying he would be in regular contact with his office.
Sanford said then he would transfer authority in writing to the lieutenant governor only if he were called to active duty.

Classiness has a name, and that name is Annette Bening. Who else, I ask you, could come down the red carpet in reading glasses and look simultaneously elegant and smokin'? Her sequined ecru Georges Hobeika gown certainly didn't hurt, either, along with her quirky crop and soft, translucent lip and cheek color. I'm a big fan of the lady, but should I be saying the same for her ensemble?

2002 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV LS 2WD 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
I've only had my Tahoe a couple of weeks but I love it. It's a BIG difference as far as room and ride than the Explorer I had. I've owned everything from Ford's to Honda's and everything in between.I think I'm a GM man now. I looked at the Expedition but I'm glad I only looked.

2002 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV LS 4WD 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
I really love this Tahoe. I guess the ride quality is what suprised me the most. It is very smooth and just eats up the bumps and potholes. It rides much better than my Explorer. The only criticism I would have is a little bit of wind noise at highway speed that comes from the large mirrors, but that is not bad. The front seats are very comfortable and can be manipulated to fit just about anyone.

The Chevrolet Tahoe is a great. I purchased mine in July of 2001. The 4wd works great. I live in Nebraska and its very helpful. The interior is very spacious and roomy. I have a boat and will use the Tahoe to pull it. I bought the Tahoe because of its roomy inside, good looks, great 5.3L engine, and the way it drives. It drives like a car. Go and test drive one to see.

I traded in my Eddie Bauer Expedition for my Tahoe and I'm very happy I made this decision. The Tahoe rides and drives much better than the expedition. I was quite surprised how much more power the Tahoe has over the Expedition. The interior on the Tahoe is very luxurious, and the heated seats sure are nice in the winter. I've always owned Ford's, so this is my first GM purchase, but won't be last.

After extensive research on Edmunds and other sites, I went the dealership as an educated buyer. Wow, what a deal I got. Love the bigger engine, tows like your pulling nothing. Cools and heats suprisingly well, considering the size of the vehicle. Very pleased

I've had over 25 vehicles and never one like this. It's fun to walk up to your auto and see people just standing around looking at it. It drives better than the 2000 Z71 1500 1/2 ton truck, and I can't get over the look it carries.

I found a way to save some money. First ask the dealer to throw in the scotch guard for the seats. Then when they ask about the extended warrenty. Have them go talk to the manager to lower the price since the extended warranties include the scotch guard program. Saved me $400.00 and I bought the extended warrenty. I love this vehicle. Im still breaking her in so I could have a few more to say but thank you Chevy for the rebates and intrest rates! Killer truck

Book Concierge's review
Mar 16, 10
Read in March, 2005
I can appreciate Welty's writing, but this book just didn't capture my attention. It's a slim novel (under 200 pages) and won the Pullitzer prize for fiction in 1972. Not much happens, but then, I suppose that is the point. When you can sum up a person by stating "I know his whole family," what else is there?

I saw your write-up on AirBnb, and it spoke to me. I am totally enthralled with this wonderful little village, and I'd appreciate helpful tips on the area, Mexico history, and any other info you'd like to share. I am a single 70-year old(shhh). I've been a lifelong traveler. My work background has been mostly in law firms in San Francisco, as a legal secretary.

Camped in a Casita 17ft, so had more options then a bigger rig would have. Ended up lake front on site 15. Liked the lake and the campground. The bathrooms were clean and hot shower for a couple quarters. No dump station, so emptied in Silver Bay when departing. Used the campground as a hub for exploring the north shore plus a little fishing at the lake. Would stay again. Operated by good people. We camped at Lax Lake Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo

Reviving Quest to Tame Energy of Stars
By MALCOLM W. BROWNE
Published: June 8, 1999
PLAINSBORO, N.J.— In its heyday it was a palace among physics laboratories, with an enviably fat budget, ample support staff and the prestige that comes to research institutions working at the cutting edge in solving global problems. But today, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, still a leader in hydrogen fusion research, is so short of cash that it can no longer afford even a receptionist.
However, a dry spell of discouragements and spending cuts for fusion research may be ending. With their backs to a financial wall, specialists in the field are banding together to pursue the elusive goal of harnessing thermonuclear fusion, the process that drives the sun and hydrogen bombs.
Leaders in the field say the new spirit calls for lean, selective financing of small-scale experiments as well as the large ones that have dominated the field's history, increased cooperation between long-standing competitors, and a lot of patience.
Proponents of hydrogen fusion, the joining together of hydrogen nuclei to produce useful energy, have suffered too many frustrations over the years to hope for too much too soon. Fusion energy will not come tomorrow. But it could become a reality in the mid-21st century, believers say, and slow the carbon dioxide pollution of the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels -- a problem that may be leading to disastrous global warming.
Pressed by tight budgetary constraints imposed by Congress, competing fusion laboratories have begun sharing and coordinating their research to a greater extent than ever and have drafted guidelines for allocating their limited resources as they would an investment portfolio, giving major financing to the most promising projects but gambling some funds for high-risk but potentially fruitful experiments.
Next month fusion scientists and engineers from around the world will hold a meeting in Snowmass, Colo., to discuss all the devices and proposals currently on the table. It will be the first meeting of its kind, according to its co-chairman, Dr. Michael E. Mauel of Columbia University, and it signals a growing realization that if fusion energy is ever to become a reality it will require global cooperation rather than endless competition between nations and individual laboratories.
The main obstacle to accelerated research fusion, many scientists say, is the disincentive created by low fossil fuel prices.
''Right now,'' said Dr. Robert J. Goldston, director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in New Jersey, ''a bottle of table water costs more than a bottle of gasoline. But cheap oil won't last forever, and in any case, the burning of fossil fuels may be contributing to global warming. Fusion, which could produce enormous amounts of energy at reasonable cost with only negligible amounts of radioactive waste and no pollution of the atmosphere, may be our only practical alternative to fossil fuels.''
No one doubts that hydrogen fusion can be achieved. Huge pulses of fusion power have already been generated by experimental fusion reactors in the United States and Europe. The trouble is that until now, conventional generating plants have had to supply more energy to kindle a thermonuclear pulse than the pulse itself produces. No one has yet been able to squeeze thermonuclear fuel tightly enough and long enough to ignite a self-sustaining fusion reaction.
In the sun, energy is produced when hydrogen nuclei fuse to produce helium, a heavier element. But for hydrogen nuclei to overcome their mutual electrostatic repulsion and get close enough to fuse, they must have very high velocities, that is to say, they must be very, very hot. Scores of different reactor designs have been built, tested and abandoned over the years, most of which belong to one of two main categories: magnetic confinement, the squeezing of plasma by magnetic fields; and inertial confinement, the squeezing of hot gas by the implosion of miniature hydrogen bombs.
A magnetic confinement device uses powerful interlocked magnetic fields to contain and compress hot, electrically charged plasma (a kind of gas) within a vacuum chamber. The plasma must never touch the solid walls of its container; otherwise, it instantly loses its heat and can never be coaxed into undergoing fusion. Everything depends on keeping the plasma's magnetic bottle tightly stoppered, which is no easy task.
Most of the stars of magnetic fusion experiments have been devices called tokamaks. One of the largest and most successful of these machines was the Princeton laboratory's big Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor, which in 1994 produced a record-breaking pulse of 10.7 million watts of fusion power. It was shut down two years ago for lack of money.
The device's lineage goes back to the early 1950's, when the Soviet scientists Andrei Sakharov and Igor Tamm proposed the design and named it tokamak -- the Russian acronym for ''toroidal magnetic chamber'' -- a doughnut-shaped machine that compresses fusion fuel magnetically.
Since then, however, the seemingly simple tokamak idea proved to conceal endless pitfalls and complications, and despite great progress in understanding the behavior of plasmas, commercial fusion power by magnetic confinement is still only a dream.
A competing approach to fusion is inertial confinement, in which hydrogen bombs the size of small BB pellets would be detonated in a target chamber, transferring their energy to a metal ''blanket.''
In an inertial confinement reactor, each hydrogen-filled pellet would be the target of batteries of high-powered lasers, particle beams or X-rays. A blast of this radiation would vaporize the plastic outer layer of the tiny fusion pellet. The resulting implosion would drive the plasma formed from the vaporized pellet inward on itself, compressing and heating the fusion fuel inside it until a thermonuclear explosion occurs.
The thermonuclear pop of each pellet, yielding energy equivalent to the blast of 100 pounds of TNT, could simulate a thermonuclear weapon explosion -- a similarity that has important implications for both science and thermonuclear weapons programs. The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California is a leader in this approach to fusion.
Livermore is a crucial player in the Science-Based Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program, which monitors the health of the nation's nuclear weapons. Fusion experiments using the gargantuan laser array Livermore is building as the National Ignition Facility will help the laboratory evaluate the nuclear stockpile without having to detonate nuclear explosions banned by treaty.
Because their research has both scientific and military purposes, Livermore and the other two weapons laboratories supported by the Department of Energy, Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories, receive financing for both categories of research. This makes them richer than laboratories like the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, which receive only science financing.
Competition for funding has always been a source of friction between rival partisans of magnetic and inertial fusion, and the sharing of ideas, experimental data and equipment was often minimal. Experiments by rival camps sometimes wastefully duplicated research.
But a new spirit of closer cooperation has developed. In an interview, Dr. Mauel, a Columbia University fusion expert, praised leaders of the magnetic and inertial confinement fields for healing many of their long-standing differences.
''Dr. E. Michael Campbell, the laser director at Livermore, and Rob Goldston, the Princeton director, are doing a wonderful job bringing us all together as a team,'' Dr. Mauel said. ''As a co-chairman of the big fusion meeting we're holding in Snowmass next month, I know that there's still competition among us. But we're working together more than we used to.''
A center of interest in the fusion race is the National Ignition Facility that Livermore is building -- a $1.2 billion array of 192 lasers packed into a building that could contain a football stadium. When it begins operating in 2003, its scientists hope that progress toward sustained power-producing fusion will be greatly accelerated.
At Princeton, financing will remain much less lavish. The laboratory will have to spend $48 million in the next three years just to demolish its decommissioned Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor, which still contains traces of the radioactive tritium it used as fuel. The big machine's reaction chamber will be filled with concrete and then sawed into pieces for disposal, safely isolating the tritium until it decays harmlessly.
At its peak in the 1980's, the Princeton center employed about 1,300 people. Today it has about 400.
But the laboratory has retained most of its senior scientists and is still doing important experiments.
Dr. Goldston and his colleagues believe magnetic fusion research in the United States will need a bit more than $300 million a year to regain momentum -- a substantial increase from its present level of $223 million. At its peak, magnetic confinement research received as much as $370 million.
But fusion physicists are learning to live within tight budgets.
In the spirit of no-frills research that has followed the closing of its big tokamak, Princeton has already completed a much more modest fusion reactor called a spherical tokamak, which resembles an apple with a thin core rather than a doughnut. The $23.8 million machine incorporates a highly efficient magnetic confinement system and will begin full operation in August. (By comparison, Princeton's big tokamak shut down two years ago cost more than $1.4 billion.)
Other magnetic fusion projects in the United States are under way at the General Atomics Company (which operates its big DIII-D tokamak in San Diego), the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, the Naval Research Laboratory, the University of Rochester, the University of Wisconsin, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and elsewhere.
Time and again, however, multimillion-dollar tokamaks, stellarators, spheromaks, inertial confinement systems and other devices with unfamiliar names have fallen far short of the conditions needed to sustain a thermonuclear ''burn'' -- the continuous joining-together of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
Taxpayers, members of Congress and many scientists outside the fusion research community have grown weary with the ever-receding goal and the huge cost of many fusion experiments.
Moreover, many of the heady predictions during the early years of fusion research proved to be wildly overblown. Enthusiasts used to claim that hydrogen, the most abundant of all substances in the universe, could power the world cheaply and forever. However, ordinary hydrogen is not viewed as a fusion fuel that could be used in the foreseeable future. Commercial reactors of the near future, if such are built, will almost certainly require fuel mixtures of two hydrogen isotopes -- deuterium and tritium, not common hydrogen. Tritium, which is radioactive, is produced only at great expense from reactors that burn uranium.
Another impediment is that the fusion of deuterium and tritium can be ignited only at a temperature around 100 million degrees Celsius (180 million degrees Fahrenheit) after being compressed to a density 20 times that of lead. These conditions are difficult to create.
Confining a dollop of super-hot compressed plasma has proved to be harder than compressing and shaping a blob of jelly using only rubber bands. Each clever idea of the plasma physicists for solving this problem has been matched by a new challenge.
Since 1996, Federal support for the fusion energy has program declined by 40 percent, and last year the United States withdrew from a partnership with Russia, Japan and Europe intended to create a gigantic fusion research machine -- the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. It was a heavy blow to fusion prospects.
''It was just too expensive,'' Dr. Goldston said. ''We simply have to choose a path consistent with national priorities. It will take longer, but we'll get there. We must get there.''

(Sandia National Laboratories)(pg. F2) Chart: ''Igniting Fusion Energy on Earth'' Recent advancements in fusion research have encouraged scientists to believe that they will one day be able to harness the power that fuels the Sun and stars. What is Fusion? process In fusion reactors, two isotopes of the hydrogen atom, deuterium and tritium, are brought together under extreme pressure and high temperatures. The result, a fusion of the two atoms, releases enormous amounts of energy, mainly in the form of a single high-energy neutron. The helium atom produced by the fusion is waste, which must be removed from the reactor. Creating the Conditions The challenge for researchers has been to create an environment that can sustain the extreme temperatures and densities necessary to create fusion and then contain the resulting plasma. These approaches have yielded the best results: Inertial Confinement A series of tiny fuel pellets made of deuterium and tritium are bombarded by lasers or X-rays to produce what amounts to miniature thermonuclear explosions. Lasers heat the fuel pellet, transforming the outer shell to an envelope of plasma. The vaporizing of the outer shell drives the pellet wall inward, compressing and heating the fuel. When the fuel reaches 100 million degrees Celsius, the fuel fuses, releasing the energy equivalent of 100 pounds of TNT. Magnetic Confinement Here, magnetic fields are used to contain and compress the hydrogen isotopes. As pressure from the field builds, temperatures rise and the gases become superheated plasma, ultimately fusing when the pressure and temperature become high enough. SHAPING THE MAGNETIC FIELDS Researchers are trying different-shaped magnetic fields to determine which keeps the plasma most stable. Tokamak The most successful design to date, its torus shape has some difficulty in maintain-ing plasma stability. Spheromak Its apple-core shape increases stability of plasma in the center. Stellarator The irregular kinked magnetic fields create a fairly stable plasma. Several stellarators are under consideration.

Could someone clarify the bicycle helmet law? Does the helmet law apply to everyone? just children? I see many people of all ages riding without helmets and wondered about the parameters of the law?
Also, is Palo Alto a smoke free city? i.e. no smoking anywhere in city limits? Just curious.

Great Cups
Comments about SOLO® PETE Ultra Clear™ Translucent Plastic Cold Cups, 16 oz., 1,000/Case:
We order these cups from the Staples.com website for our offices in Washington, D.C., and they are great. We drink from them everyday, and they keep your liquids very cold with ice. You can't use them for hot items like coffee or hot tea. They came in a box of about 1,000 of them. I placed the over over the website and had some problems with shipping. But, within 24 to 48 hours the cups were in our office and ready for use. Since we have so many cups, now we can place them in the various conference rooms of the office. Thanks

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
• 3 roomy bedrooms, each with own full bath--great for families or couples!
• Open floor plan invites entertaining and socializing
• HUGE 70 inch HDTV for gaming, movies, favorite TV shows
• Large back patio with BBQ is great for outdoor dining or just enjoying the morning sun
• Easy walk to shops, restaurants, and parks
• Drake Park & Downtown an easy 1 mile walk or ride--even for kids
• Phil's Mountain Bike Trails only 2.5 miles away
Whether you are looking to relax, shop or explore the outdoors, our brand new home on the popular Westside is in the middle of everything!
Start your morning with a stroll to Backporch Coffee for a killer cappuccino, and perhaps grab breakfast at Chow next door.
Time to get your heart rate going? Grab a mountain bike (or rent one down the street) and head for Phil's trails--over 100 miles of single track heaven only 2 miles away.
Rather browse the shops of downtown? Ride or walk the mile to the serene Drake Park on the Deschutes River, and then hit the funky boutiques, renown breweries and great restaurants on the other side.
Or maybe it's a day for skiing or snowshoeing? Only 20 minutes to Mt Bachelor! Summer opens up an astonishing assortment of hiking trails, lava terrain, caves and more.
If you want home cooking, Newport Market is right nearby with everything the gourmet cook requires and the best produce display around! DeVores, across the street, specializes in price-friendly organic produce--for 3 decades!
Sick of cooking? No problem! Wander across the street to Broken Top Bottle Shop and let Beth Lynn cook up fabulous gourmet specials from around the world (many gluten free options & even vegan!), with the broadest assortment of beers around. Too many good beers in you? No sweat. A comfy bed awaits you across the street!
Our brand new home in Newport Landing has a wide-open floor plan that simply invites family interaction.
Comfy bar stools encourage folks to chat with the chef, or gather in the living room around the custom Chess board built into the coffee table. The musician in the family can serenade you on the piano, or plug your MP3 player into the Sound bar to play your own music list.
Got teens that don't like all that family closeness? Send them upstairs to the loft media room, where comfy leather sofas await along with a 70 inch Smart TV. Watch Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, or pick up a DVD at the Redbox located outside Newport Market. Rather do some gaming? The PlayStation 3 is stocked with an assortment of hits.
When you can't keep your eyes open another minute, send everyone in separate directions to the 3 roomy bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom--far enough away so they won't bug you as you get the rest you need for another great day in Bend!
I grew up visiting Bend every February to ski for a week. Now I am thrilled to have a second home to share with my family and with you! As 'outdoorsy' types, we love that Bend simply calls you to be outside. We love the mountain biking, downhill skiing, hiking--many of which can be done in the same day depending on the season! We also love the charm of Old Downtown, with all of its local flavor, and the upscale 'ritz' of the Old Mill District, with its multitude of concerts, art shows, and activities. Come play!
Kirsti Hegg purchased this house in 2013
Our biggest criteria for buying a home in Bend, was to be close enough to walk to our favorite activities, and we succeeded! We also love that the floor plan is open, bright and inviting, with a nice blend of class and comfort and room to relax on the deck facing Awbrey Butte, or the back patio which gets the morning and afternoon sun.
We love being able to have a houseful of people, but still sleep at night without hearing any of them! The 3 bedrooms are as far away from each other as they could possibly be. Also plenty of showers for a houseful of guests to get cleaned up after a day of riding, hiking or skiing. As the primary cook for our family, I love being able to prepare a meal and interact with our guests at the same time. It's a great social layout.
Great floor plan for 2 families. The kids had their own loft space, the 2 bedrooms are on each end of the house. Open concept with living/dining/kitchen in the center of the house makes this house feel very spacious. Easy to go to Mt.Bachelor. Great all around.
What a wonderful stay in Bend. This house is perfectly located and equipped. It's an easy walk to a coffee shop and restaurants. The house is well stocked if you want to cook for your family. We had a Christmas celebration with extended family aged 2 months to 80 years. The house was perfectly set up for us. I highly recommend this home.
Great location, nice amenities and a responsive landlord make for a very nice experience. Shevlin Park and the great Bend neighborhoods made for great walks and hikes each day. Three bedrooms and three baths along with a large TV made watching movies and sports a pleasure. All and all a very nice VRBO arrangement.
Five adults in our family gathered at this wonderful house to explore the Central Oregon area. We really felt at home as we were greeted with a beautiful home that is very well stocked and a nice gift of wine. With in-effect three bedrooms and three baths we all had privacy when we wanted it and could gather together in the great room when we wanted. The patio and grill were also fun to use as the weather was glorious. Very conveniently located near restaurants, markets and a short drive to downtown. We hope to return.
Kitchen was great and loved that each bedroom had a bathroom. Location was perfect. We attended a concert at Les Schwab Amphitheater, which was close enough for us to ride our bikes.
We stayed in the house so that the four of us could attend a family wedding. The house was very well-equpped and quite luxurious. I don't think the pictures do it justice. The kitchen was very nice and there was lots of table space. There were a couple of cute patios. I loved the amenities like ample hand soaps, hand lotions, etc. The only problem we had was that the entry code did not work upon arrival. A quick call to the owner solved the problem. I would stay here again.
Trendy west-side location means you can walk or bike most anywhere!
Favorite Food: Broken Top Bottle Shop, across the street, is our favorite pub with a fantastic menu (and great Gluten Free options). Backporch Coffee makes a killer cappuccino 1/4 mile away, and across the street is Newport Market, home of fantastic gourmet groceries and the best produce display you've ever seen! 10 Barrel Brewery and Brother Jon's Public House are only 3/4 mile away, and Old Town Bend, with tons of fabulous restaurants, is an easy 1 mile walk.
Favorite Activities:
We love mountain biking at Phil's Trails, about 2.5 miles away--explore hundreds of miles of single track trails. We've got a great map you can check out. Hiking along the Deschutes River from the Old Mill District is a great 3 mile loop--easy enough for the whole family. For a wilder experience of the Deschutes, head out toward Mt Bachelor and hike or mountain bike along the trails that stretch all the way to Sunriver. In the summer, float the Deschutes and get a quick ride back up in the shuttle, and in the winter, spend a day downhill skiing at Mt Bachelor (home of the longest lift in North America last I heard), or cross country skiing through the miles of trails, or snowshoeing to a lovely frozen lake.
Bend is our 'happy place'--there's just no room for boredom!

What adhesive for carpet tile installation on basement concrete?
I originally posted this in Flooring - the feedback I got there made me realize that Basements might have been a better place to put it, especially for the below-grade adhesive stuff.
I'm putting in carpet tiles in my finished basement. These are commercial tiles, not the Flor/Legato "home" versions.
Historically, the basement mildly floods about once every two years. I *think* we have that fixed now, but can't be 100% sure as it is below grade.. so that is an important consideration. The tile I've chosen does have an impervious backing and will be just fine - it's only the adhesive that I'm still at all concerned about.
Other than that, the floor is generally dry. It passes the "tape a poly sheet down" moisture test; would it be a good idea to do a full calcium chloride test?
All of the installation instructions seem to be either for easy-DIY installs ("you don't even need glue") or are the heavy commercial instructions.
I lean towards just using the commercial installation instructions - full spread of adhesive, etc - but can't find any good information on how this performs if the subfloor ever floods. And it sounds like overkill, though maybe that's not a bad thing.
The floor was level enough for the old, heavily padded shag carpet, but there are a couple of rough spots. There's minor pitting where the old tackless strip came up, and what looks like a cut-off, concrete-filled pipe sticking up slightly. My best guess is abandoned DWV - it's in about the right place and is the right size. My understanding is that I really don't need to worry about these spots and can just carpet over them - basically, this isn't ceramic tile or even VCT when it comes to a perfect subfloor.
I will be cleaning the concrete with TSP prior to installation in any case.
I've also considered the double-sided tape, and read about the "5-dot method" of daubing adhesive on the back of each individual tile. How do those methods work? Using tape is certainly appealing if the performance is acceptable.
Also, I do need the adhesive to be releasable. Part of the reason for using carpet tiles is to be able to remove them when they become soiled/stained/wet, so a "releasable" adhesive is a must. As is zero- or at least very low-VOC.
Any thoughts? How should I proceed? Am I missing anything important here?
I just went through this with our basement remodel - Did all the possible water abatement possible - starting w/gutters/pitch, grade of landscaping, removing large bushes around foundation, putting in a new patio, dry lock painted on walls (after a good cleaning) - Floor clean then application of floor paint.
When I researched about possible flooring on our refinish side - I decided I did not want any flooring where I had to wonder what was lurking or growing under there..
So an inexpensive wall to wall carpet ($250 including pad) seemed to be the answer - I purchased it knowing it may get wet & if so, I'll just throw it out - I have the tack strips on all perimeters - so it would be fairly easy to take this out & put a new one down.
On the utility side I purchased a nice vinyl rolled flooring and had the floor cleaned,painted as well as dash patched for pitted areas - this would be an easy application for you - found in hardware stores just apply to pitted, unlevel areas like a cement let dry
I just think adhesives will make the application much more difficult + the VOC factor - as well as difficulty removing in the event of water - and need to remove old adhesive for applying a new tile etc...
Good luck
