The episode opens with Dwight and Ryan at their desks, the former trying to stump the latter with some very careworn riddles. The one he starts with -- "Two coins add up to fifteen cents, and one of them is not a nickel" -- is so elderly that it's already been a B-story on Scrubs (though the Scrubs version was thirty cents. Same diff). Anyway: we can't say for sure that Ryan is more clever with riddles than Dwight; certainly, they are evenly matched.
After the credits, Jan's meeting with Michael in his office, asking what he did the previous day. Michael says he didn't do anything, and asks how her day was. Flintily, Jan tells him she wasn't making small talk, so Michael spits that he worked, and then he went home to his condo, and Carole came over, and they had sex. Michael then interviews, "Never, ever, ever sleep with your boss. I am so lucky that Jan and I only got to second base." I'm not convinced he's gotten that much further with Carole, frankly.
On her way out, Jan puts on a bright face as she stops at Pam's desk, giving her an hour-by-hour log and asking her to keep track of what Michael does all day. Pam interviews that Jan always treated Michael like a ten-year-old, but that lately, it's been more like he's five. Well, that stands to reason: a ten-year-old can be left in the house alone for a short period of time, whereas a five-year-old is still subject to the occasional urinary mishap.
Back at their desks, Dwight checks with Ryan that 's excited for the day ahead. He is. He's even "very" excited. "Extremely" excited is taking it too far, but Dwight bounces back: "Just 'very' excited? That's cool." Ryan interviews that, having spent a year at Dunder Mifflin, he needs to commit or leave, so in order to decide which it's going to be, he's going to get some guidance on his first sales call from Dwight, the company's top salesman. Lesson #1 would seem to be "It doesn't matter how weird you are: paper sells itself." For his part, Dwight interviews that he's very excited, since Ryan hasn't made a sale yet -- but even more importantly, "he hasn't made an ally yet." He adds, "Is he gonna be a slacker, loser, wise-ass like Jim was, or is he gonna join the Dwight Army Of Champions?" I hope it's the latter, if for no other reason than so we can see the uniforms.

Ryan Reynolds Interviewed By Kid Reporter Faith King

Bradley Cooper vs. Ryan Reynolds: Ken Jeong Compares His Sexiest Costars

The Hangover's breakout star has worked with his share of PEOPLE's Sexiest Men Alive – paging Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper – and the actor says he's not far from becoming his own version of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, in which players attempt to link Bacon to every other actor on planet earth.
"I may have possibly, yes, worked with some of the Sexiest Men Alive. I might be the Kevin Bacon of Sexiest Men," Jeong said jokingly to PEOPLE at Tuesday night's premiere of his new animated 3D movie Turbo, starring Reynolds. (It opens nationally July 17.)
"I've got, like, different degrees of Sexiest Man [in my life]."
But out of the two men, Reynolds and Cooper (who starred with Jeong in all three Hangover movies), who would Jeong say really owns the crown?

Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals
Final Report with Draft MoU pgs 89-93 and Action Plan pgs 98-100)
Last year, Nagaland, a small State in NE India made global environment news for the wrong reasons. A hard-hitting campaign by Indian conservationists published graphic video images to expose a mass harvest of Amur Falcons – a small but long distant migrant bird of prey that breeds in Eastern Russia and China, and annually flies around 22,000km all the way across Asia, over the Indian Ocean to wintering groun

"Not very modern collection"
Most of these stories seem to have been written at least 20 years ago, perhaps even longer. They were mostly a type of entertainment that you used to find in the Saturday Evening Post back in the 50's and 60's - breezy, light and eminently forgettable. With so many excellent stories being written within the last 10-15 years, it's really a shame.
But it's hard to tell much about them because of the way Audible (or whoever produced this audio collection) presents the stories. There's no table of contents available, so you don't know what's coming next or even what the authors or titles are, except for the major names advertised (Lessing and Murikami). When you're listening, there is no way to skip from one story to the next - and final insult - no gap between the readings. I would at least like a slight pause to ponder the final line before hearing the title and author of the next story, but it's like some idiot technician just spliced the stories together just to save space. Shameful!

This activity is a fun, interactive lesson that integrates children's literature with math. (A great way to integrate author studies!) This activity allows students to be involved in all 4 learning styles (visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic). I spread this lesson out over two days.
Cause and effect writing: What it looks like and who reads it
Students examine the causes and effects presented in a brochure called "Ozone: The Good and the Bad." They also examine the language of the brochure with regard to audience appropriateness. Students then write their own brochures examine their classmates' brochures for cause and effect and for audience appropriateness.
From dirt to dinner
This lesson serves as an introductory study of the plant world. The lesson allows students to study seeds, parts of plants, microclimates, and how to grow seeds into vegetable plants for harvest. Parents are encouraged to assist at home.
The Earth rotates through days
The students will be a part of a model showing how the Earth's rotation creates what we see as a sunrise and sunset every twenty-four hours.
Dance of the times: African-American expression of jazz
Explores jazz dance as a social dance form and a uniquely expressive art of African-American culture from the 1920's and 1930's. Students will learn about the complexity of African-American experiences that generated the dance and musical style. The activities develop students' understanding of jazz dance while integrating visual, audio, and kinesthetic learning styles.
Time-light and shadow (pre-visit)
Students examine the interplay of the earth and the sun by studying shadows. Students construct a sun clock and record shadows several times during a school day in order to use the earth and the sun to measure time.
The problem with parallax
Students will increase their understanding of astronomical measurements by using parallax to measure distances on their school campus. They will also gain an appreciation of the difficulties with such measurements by statistically analyzing the class' results.
Is it a duck? Is it a chick?
Students will compare and contrast the characteristics of a chick and a duckling by using a Venn Diagram.
Zoo integrated unit
The unit uses the North Carolina Zoological Park as a teaching tool rather than as a nice place to visit. It can be used by a single teacher or multiple teachers of different subjects, and it is aimed at 7th and 8th graders.
The Wolf in Children's Books: Part 1 of 2
Students will explore the ways wolves are represented in children's stories. They will decide if the wolf is a protagonist or an antagonist in the story. They will decide if the wolf is a protagonist or an antagonist in the story. They will also attempt to determine if these representations are scientifically accurate. The first in a two-part lesson.
Ingredients for Life: Carbon
This video segment adapted from NOVA illustrates why carbon is at the center of life on Earth. It also asks whether carbon-based life might exist on other planets.
Ike and Little Rock
This video segment, adapted from American Experience: "Ike", profiles the president's controversial response to the Little Rock school desegregation crisis in 1957.
Government Philosophy
An examination of the primary philosophies that have dominated government towards the end of the 20th century. To follow up look at the economic philosophical base of government creates different strategies that are followed.
Applied Business Question
An applied business question is presented with the suggested solution encompassing entrepreneurship, management and the implementation of technology and change.
Deaf and Unemployed in Dubuque: The DiMarcos Remember the Great Depression
The New Deal launched a series of federal employment programs, including the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which not only provided jobs but also initiated many important studies of the depression's human toll.

The DiMarcos interview revealed that the disabled faced a double challenge during the depression: finding employment while competing for
"A Less Reliable Form of Birth Control": Miriam Allen deFord Describes Her Introduction to Contracep
Despite major cultural, legal, and medical impediments the use of birth control, including abortion, by American women was widespread at the turn of the century. In their quest to control unwanted pregnancies, American women could be surprisingly resourceful in the methods they used. In this audio excerpt from a 1974 interview with historian Sherna Gluck, Miriam Allen deFord described methods of birth control in vogue in the 1910s, including spermicides, douches, the Dutch pessary (an early diap
"Drug Him Through the Street": Hughsey Childes Describes Turn-of-the-Century Sharecropping
The sharecropping system that emerged in the South in the last three decades of the 19th century afforded southern black families a certain measure of control over their daily lives and labor. But the white landowners were able to use the legal mechanisms of sharecropping to assure control over the largely African-American workforce that toiled on the farms. Here Hughsey Childes, interviewed by historian Charles Hardy in 1984, described what seems like a matter of fact exchange in which the whit
"I Always Had Pads with Me": A G.I. Artist's Sketchpad, 1943-1944
In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war, thousands of Americans enlisted in the U.S. armed forces. Among them was twenty-year-old Bronx resident Ben Hurwitz. Like many of the men and women who entered military service, Hurwitz (who changed his name to Brown after the war) kept a record of his experiences. But his "journal" was a sketchpad, and, during his two years in North Africa and Italy, Corporal Hurwitz drew and painted at every opportunity. Hurwitz's pictures a
"Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are": Booker T. Washington's Atlanta Compromise Speech
In 1895, Booker T. Washington gave what later came to be known as the Atlanta Compromise speech before the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta. His address was one of the most important and influential speeches in American history, guiding African-American resistance to white discrimination and establishing Washington as one of the leading black spokesmen in America. Washington's speech stressed accommodation rather than resistance to the racist order under which Southern Afric
"Organize among Yourselves": Mary Gale on Unemployed Organizing in the Great Depression
The Communist-led Unemployed Councils were the first and the most active of the radical movements that sought to mobilize the jobless during the Great Depression. In this interview, which is taken from the radio series "Grandma Was an Activist," relief worker Mary Gale, who was sympathetic to radicals and the jobless, described how she worked behind the scenes to encourage her clients to organize and demand better treatment. The jobless and the poor had few advocates for them, and radicals like

Release Date:
October 28, 2008
With a vibrant, versatile voice (sounding at times like an inspired mix of Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt) capable of adding subtle emotional shifts to slow-burning ballads or rocking out with the big boys, Susan Tedeschi burst on the scene at the close of the 1990s like a breath of fresh air in an era of prefab MTV teen idols. Like Raitt, Tedeschi works from a blues base, but she mixes in a strong sense of RB and gospel, and with Back to the River, her second release for Verve Forecast, she shows that she's really starting to find herself as a songwriter, as well. Tedeschi wrote or co-wrote all but one of the 11 tracks here, and while one could still say these songs are based in her beloved blues, like Raitt, she has branched out from there to become a solid pop artist with a real and accessible vision, and the blues is just the engine under the hood. There are some wonderful moments here, including the big and funky title track, "Back to the River," which Tedeschi co-wrote with swamp pop master Tony Joe White, the sincere and solid "Learning the Hard Way," co-written with Gary Louris of the Jayhawks, and the impressive "Butterfly," which Tedeschi' co-wrote with her husband, Derek Trucks. The lone cover, a marvelous, horn-driven version of Allen Toussaint's "There's a Break in the Road" (originally recorded in 1969 by Betty Harris), fits seamlessly in with the newer material. Then there is Tedeschi's voice, which is a wonderful instrument, strong and hushed by turns, and she carries the full weight of the world's possibilities when she sings, ranging from wounded to determined, delicate to brash, always getting to the emotional center of the song. Tedeschi has already put out some great albums but as she continues to grow as a songwriter, her best work may still be in the future. Meanwhile, Back to the River will serve fans just fine.

Take the plunge at The Wild Wadi!
The Wild Wadi is a great waterpark with a great location right by the famous Burj al Arab and Jumeirah Beach hotels. A great way to spend the day. Although, if you travel during the hot summer months when temperatures are regularly in the mid 40s, care is needed to prevent a doze of sun stroke or sun burn. One of the most memorable rides is the Master Blaster where you sit in a dinghy and are actually propelled up a slide by powerful water jets. There is also the Jumeirah Sceirah (the highest and fastest free fall water slide outside north America), a large wave pool and lazy river among several other attractions in the park. Tip - Be sure to adjust your swimming costume before standing up after riding the Jumeirah Sceirah.
- Family Travel
- Theme Park Trips
Wild Wadi Waterpark is a water theme park covering an area of 12 acres and comprises of around 30 different rides and slides. Wild Wadi is located on the Jumeirah Beach Road next to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Burj Al Arab hotel, and about a 20 minute drive from the center of Dubai.
If you are looking for a fabulous place to escape the heat of Dubai, this is the place. Wild Wadi is a water theme park for people of all ages. I thought it was totally awesome. The park has an amazing slide that plunges 27 metres and which has you hurtling down it at a top speed of 80 km's per hour. It's one hell of a scary slide and one that I was not brave enough to attempt. There are so many rides here ranging from the gentle flood river ride or Juda's Journey where you float along the "river" in a rubber ring or try Breaker's bay, a huge wave pool. The good thing about this wave pool is that you are encouraged to wear life vests and there are plenty on the shore for you to use. An absolute favourite was the wipeout and riptide flowriders. Here you can try body boarding, knee boarding or surfing.
As I said before there is so much to do and see at Wild Wadi that one day will not satisfy you.
Every hour they have a coreographed thunder and lightning show complete with pelting "rain" and flash flooding. Totally awesome..!!
They have lots of food outlets dotted around the park so you'll never go hungry and if carrying cash around with you is a right royal pain, then they have a solution.. You can get a stored value wristband that you can pre load with funds and just scan at the outlets. All in all we had an absolutely fantastic day and wish we had more time to spend there.
- Theme Park Trips
A great way to enjoy the heat
The Wild Wadi was great fun....some of the slides went up instead of down !!!! Hardly any lines and you were always in the water - this is what a water park should truly be!
The staff were fantastic and created such a good atmosphere!
The toilet /change rooms were continually being cleaned.
If you are a guest you have free use of the water park all day.
Wadi Water Park
I never knew that you could travel up a waterslide. They have a waterslide that you sit on a raft and are propelled up the slide to the top where you can ride another slide back down- sure beats climbing stairs in a big line. Very fun park, especially when it is 110+ degrees out.
- Theme Park Trips
- Beaches
At last: The Wild Wadi
This waterpark is across the Burj: 12 acres of waterfalls, whitewater rapids, colossal waves, hanging bridges, tropical vegetation, lagoons, and all sorts of fun water-rides. We visited the W.W. our last Dubai trip and the timing was perfect - during mid-summer in July/August the weather was so unbearably hot that the waterpark was plain paradise.
This is the wildest ride of the park: a slide plunging down 27meters with speeds up to 80kph. Make sure when you get off the slide that your bathingsuit is covering you completely. The rush has a tendency to displace swimwear!
Breaker's bay is a wave pool, simulating the open sea. Grab a life-jacket and float.
JUHA'S JOURNEY (aka LAZY RIVER)
Ashley's all-time favorite, the lazy river gives you an opportunity to leisurely drift along on inflatable rings.
The perfect playground for boogie-boarders - see how long you can fight the waves.
These are only some of the rides - other attractions include the hourly Wadi Wash (a storm that floods the entire park), Juha's Dow & Lagoon, Gift shop, restaurants and snack-shops (serving mostly burgers, pizza, hot-dogs, ice-cream, etc. - pricey though!), etc.
If you are a guest at the adjacent hotels you get free admission to the park. Don't worry about carrying money into the park - every visitor receives an electronic wristband, on which you can store credit. Camera: we kept ours in the locker while we did the rides, then brought it out to circle the park and take our pics. And if you forget your camera: throughout the park, Wadi-photographers take your pics while on the various rides, then tie a band on your wrist, and upon leaving the park, you can check out the photos at the "Souk Al Wadi". There are several options on how they print the pictures, such as keychains, frames, etc. (In typical tourist fashion we bought 2 of the pics - really nice memory!)
Noteworthy: The staff at Wild Wadi is INCREDIBLY friendly and helpful.

Water Frenzy
Well, there are a few things to do in Dubai like you must take a Dhow trip, you must visit the Gold Souk but for me, this was the Daddy!
With the largest, highest and scariest slide I have ever been on this is by far the best waterpark I've ever been to. It was cheap for the day and I would never go back to Dubai without taking time out to visit this place.
I liked the fact that you could take a towel, plonk yourself on one of the lovely grassy banks with the water dribbling by and chill at your leisure or jump in one of the big tyres and get jettisoned up the slopes and down a ride of your choice.
It would be absolutely fantastic for kids and if I believe rightly, if you're staying at the Jameira Beach hotel then you get free entry from a private gate so you could pack them off down to the Water Park which looked pretty safe to me with plenty of security and life guards and enjoy your adult time.

Wild Wadi
A must see water park - Wild Wadi should not be missed by any visitor to Dubai!.
Located close to the city and right opposite the beautiful Burj Al Arab, its a great place to spend the day with family or friends.
The park offers thrilling rides and attractions. With the sun shining all year around in this part of the world...anytime is the right time for visiting Wild Wadi!
- Theme Park Trips
Wild Wadi Waterpark
This place is so much fun!! Mainly you'll be surrounded non-locals and ex-pats. So don't expect a taste of local culture. Do expect to go down water rides on a big rubber ring, over and over again. Most are just fast enough to get the adrenaline going, but not really very scary. Good fun for families or just big kids in their 30's!!
I went here expecting just to stay for a few hours and was there for 7, going on the rides right up until the place closed. Do the really big high one, Jumeirah Sceirah, at least once, but once will probably be enough. It is as scary as it looks!! Expect to get a free douche in the process!
A bus is the cheapest way of getting there as a taxi works out much more expensive. Buses take a while, about 30 to 45 minutes, but will cost you just 2 dhiram. It's Route 803 from Al Ghubaiba station in Bur Dubai.
Also, if you go during Ramadan and you are non-Muslim, it is worthwhile knowing that this place still sells food during daytime. Smoking is also permitted.

Wild Wadi Water Park
Located between the Burj Al Arab and The Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Jumeirah, Wild Wadi Water Park is a must see attraction in Dubai. It has different type of rides that suit all ages. Jumeirah Sceirah is the tallest and fastest free-fall speed slide outside North America, cascading a breathtaking 33 metres. It will drive you up to 80 KMs per hour in a great experience. Also you must try other rides like Master Blaster, Ring Rides and FlowRiders. Admision 130 Dhs (US$ 36) per adult. In short, Wild Wadi is a great experience, do not miss it if you visit Dubai.

A pool to shame all others
If you are staying at the Jumeirah Beach hotel or the Burj al Arab (My two main recommendations) then you get free access to the Wild Wadi water park - and boy it is almost worth staying there for this alone!
There are numerous 'roller coasters' where you sit in an inflated tyre inner tube and are propelled around - up, down and round. There is a lazy river for when you simply cant be bothered to do anything (like sunbathing - only better - or wetter?) and there is a large freeform pool with very credible waves. Other activities are around and include wake boarding, a surfing area (only if you know what youre doing - cause everyone watching does!) and other stuff like a store etc.
It is brilliant - especially as night falls. One point to look out for is the local weekend when the place is over run with gangs of local blokes - not at all threatening - but extrememly busy.
The best thing for me was seeing a lady in full yashmak and robes going round the rides - good to see that in a country like Dubai, there is still a chance for all sorts to surprise you

Wild Wadi Park
Wild Wadi Park is a nice water park located right in front of Dubai's large 7 star Hotel. You may have seen this Hotel on the Travel channel or listed in Magizines. It is beautiful both during the day and at night. The beaches are white sand, and the Sun is good and hot. The persian gulf is extremely salty. It is fun for singles, couples or families. Hope you enjoy it, I did.

Wild Wadi water park
Wild Wadi - best water park ever.
No climbing stairs - you're shot upwards on your tube before shooting back down again.
Some rides pretty hairy, others very tame.
Giant wave pool, fake surf break, lazy river, water cannons, one ride in the dark!
Great for kids obviously but also adults will love it.
Lots of suncream needed.
Lockers available.
Cashless system means you wear a wrist band loaded with credits to pay for lockers and food and beverages (junk food only).
The evening is best time to go from May-October as it is sunburn central.
Jumeirah Scarer - can cause discomfort in the groin area!
Double tubes are better as the single ones usually spin round and you end up doing the rides backwards - even more scary!

Has anyone come up with a neat and secure method of fixing a rear light to a Blackburn Rack? The supplied folded soft aluminium strip isn't ideal.

Hi Richard
Sorry about the above error.
I use a topeak rack mule rack, it has a quick release reflector mount that works like a seat post clamp. It's really neat and works great, I removed the reflector and mounted my night rider tail light to the mount. Now I can easily change the lighting system from bike to bike or just remove it altogether. With no tools, and only takes about 1 minute to do.

I went to a hardware store and bought a 1-1/4" wide x 1/8" thick x 3 feet long aluminum strip.
I cut two pieces, one about 3" long and one about 6" long. I drilled holes to mount the 6" piece to the 3" piece to form a "T". Then I drilled holes to mount my lights. Afterward I bent the 3" strip so the top of the "T" was facing the rear. It's kinda hard to see in this picture.
The two red lights are mounted to the 6" strip.
The clear light (strobe) is mounted on the cheap metal piece you mentioned. I'm replacing it this weekend.
Let me know if you need more details. Maybe I can make a drawing and post it.

Is it possible to use a hose clamp and cable ties? I don't have a rack anymore, but I use the above combination to secure blinkies on my handlebars and on my seatpost.
If there is a tubular area with a large enough diameter, attach a small hose clamp to it. Loop several cable ties through both the clamp and the blinkie. A section of rubber cut from an old tire tube, used as a sleeve for the cable ties, will secure the blinkie snugly and prevent the hose clamp from cutting into the cable ties.
No worries
My Eclipse blinkie came with a very effective seatpost mounting, just a plastic hose-clip thing. They even threw in a spare to mount on another bike.
You can fit lights onto fenders. SKS even have metallic strips to make electrical connections. Some LED blinkies come in fender-fitting form. See Busch & Muller for good models.

Reader Participation Day: Are Park Entrance Fees Fair?
I have no issue whatsoever paying to get into our National Parks. National Parks are the most inexpensive vactation there is. Besides, buying a pass for $80 for my family for a year is the best deal around. We usually break even within the first month of the year.
Reader Participation Day: Are Park Entrance Fees Fair?
Entrance fees are a needless system. They generate less than 5% of the NPS budget and their use is restricted to certain things. Plus, it has set up a have and have-not park system where parks with entrance fees (less than one-third of them) get more money for maintenance projects than the parks with no fees. Most of the time, the parks that do not collect fees do not do so because they are not permitted to by law, or it is impractical. You can bet that parks like Santa Monica Mountains, Indiana Dunes, and Fire Island would love to collect fees if it were feasible. Most or all the state parks around them do, making the NPS a poor step child to the state parks nearby.
Congress could add 10% to the NPS operations budget and eliminate all the entrance fees. The public would make out, no one would fail to visit a park because of a fee, and the NPS can get out of the entrance fee collection business.
Now, as for whether or not fees are impediments. Why else would the NPS suspend fees if they were not some sort of impediment? Seems as though the creation of these fee-free weekends is a tacit admission that fees are preventing some people from visiting parks so have no fees will get them to come.

Reader Participation Day: Are Park Entrance Fees Fair?
I just got back from a tour of several national parks in Atlantic Canada, and the admission was quite expensive. They have daily fees per person, while most parks in the U.S. have weekly fees per car. So for two of us to spend several days in Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland cost about C$80. The annual pass would have been only C$10 more, but we weren't going to be back this year, so why bother. The two of us spent only two days in Fundy National Park in New Brunswick and had to shell out C$40 for that. I'm not sure if Canada has an equivalent to the America the Beautiful card. If it did I was an idiot for not looking into it.
That said, I didn't mind paying those fees, and generally don't mind fees in American parks. It usually feels like I'm getting more than my money's worth. As for taxes and that argument, there are so many things done with my tax dollars that I find utterly reprehensible, I don't even think about the fact that I'm "double-paying" to get into parks. I'm just glad our enlightened leaders are still funding things like parks at all and I'll continue to be happy to chip in a few extra bucks beyond that.
Bridge to Somewhere Stirs Debate at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
I think the bridge should not be built for the reasons stated earlier regarding habitat destruction and soil erosion due to the bikes off trail. Don't build the bridge save the money, habitat, and topsoil. I don't see a easy compromise as the nature of mountain biking is to go "off road".

Kirby's correct. There's no entrance fee at Congaree National Park. There are, of course, loads of other NPS units that don't charge entrance fees. When in doubt, visit the park's website and under Quicklinks, click on "Fees and Reservations." For Congaree, you'll find this single-sentence jewel:
FREE! Congaree National Park does not charge any entrance or tour fees.
For Grand Canyon National Park, you'll find this under Fees & Reservations
$25 per Private Vehicle is the entrance fee to Grand Canyon National Park. The fee for an individual entering by foot, bicycle, motorcycle, or non-commercial group is $12.00 per person. Admission is for seven days and includes entrance to both the North Rim and South Rim. No refunds are given due to inclement weather.
Grand Canyon National Park Vehicle Permit- $25.00. Admits one single, private, non-commercial vehicle and all its passengers. Organized groups are not eligible for the vehicle permit.
Grand Canyon National Park Individual Permit - $12.00/person. Admits one individual when entering by foot, bicycle, motorcycle, or non-commercial group. Individuals 15 years old and younger are admitted free of charge.

Let's Start a Tradition: "Thank a Ranger Day"
I thank them everyday ! Of course I depend on them everyday for medical assistance and law enforcement. They are part of our family here at the Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley. A finer bunch of dedicated people you will not find than the Park Service than here in Death Valley. They are always friendly and willing to help with any situation. They give us lots of information in the morning and then save our lives in the afternoon if required. If you see a Ranger here at the Ranch stop by the General Store and offer to buy them a cup of coffee or an ice cold drink. You will be rewarded with big smiles, some of the friendliest people you will ever meet and lots of information about the Park.
Thelma & Louise Redux? Man Drives Car Off South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park
We were camped at the Mather Campground on the south rim when this happened and the NPS set off a very loud siren for about 5 minutes. It woke everyone in the caqmpground up and we were all wondering what had happened. I talked to a ranger later in the day and she said she knew of only one other instance in the last 18 years (how long she had worked there) where a vehicle went over the edge. She was amazed that an open spot had been found. She told us the other incident took place near Desert View where a man lifted his motorcycle over the rail and was setting it up so he could take his Christmas pictures and the bike fell over and tumbled off the edge, thankfully without the owner.
Thelma & Louise Redux? Man Drives Car Off South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park

OK, so I'll admit it here for all the world to see, I suffer from "Ranger Envy"!!
Who, in their later years, haven't said, " I sure wish I'd have been a park ranger, what a life"!! Of course that's coming from someone that has only seen the good side of their jobs. I think they are truly the unsung heros of all the parks in this great country, and a national day to thank them is way overdue. Where do I sign the petition?
At least I can thank them personally every time I come into contact with one, right?

Rangers Looking for Missing Paddler at Glacier National Park
A friend and I overturned our canoe in the "30 mile" section of the Yukon River years ago. I was SITTING on my life jacket at the time--what a dumbass I was!! NEVER AGAIN, no matter how uncomfortable that thing feels on a hot humid day. We both made it out ok, found our canoe about 10 miles downstream after getting rescued by a few cargo canoists that just happened by and finished our journey.
PLEASE--always use your safety gear, your life may well (and usually does) depend on it.

Visitation On Record Pace in Yellowstone National Park
We went in mid-June, and while there were crowds, they were easily avoided (except at Old Faithful).
We had cancelled this trip last year when gas was at 4 a gallon.
I think some park lovers with cabin fever have decided not to wait anymore.
I can understand why those of you with this treasure in your backyard are reluctant to see the summer onslaught, but I thought the crowds were much less of a problem than we'd been lead to anticipate.
Simply by seeing many sites later in the evening, we avoided much of them. We strolled around Mammoth at dusk and had the place practically to ourselves.

Latest Pastime of Yellowstone National Park Bison: Human Tossing
Jim, Bison can move rapidly and for fairly long distance. Two weeks ago we watched a day old bison calf and cow run at least two miles being chased by a grizzly. The bison won the race along the bank of the Yellowstone River in Heyden Valley. Some people literally appear to leave their brains at home when visiting Yellowstone. On the next day, I attempted to exercise some common sense by telling a bunch of people to get back in their cars as a large grizzle was coming downhill toward them and out of their line of sight. The tourist only knew that a bear had been sighted and wanted to see what was going on. They at least listened to me and got back in their cars to be rewarded by seeing the bear pass withing 25 ft of their cars. Yellowstone is, afterall, still a wild place and not tourists back yard.

In my deepest memory, remembering Carl Sharsmith, who had the fineness qualities of the highest standards as ranger naturalist, educator, guide and friend was a prime example of gratitude given by most folks who knew him.

Let's Start a Tradition: "Thank a Ranger Day"
Thankfully I've never needed a ranger in an emergency situation, but I do appreciate that they're available. My encounters with rangers have been educational, and that makes any park visit better. I'm sure I thanked him at the time, but I'll say so again here: I still remember the ranger guide on our trip to Mesa Verde in August 2006. Ranger Mitch. In his words:
"Human intelligence hasn't changed. The only thing that's different is our technology. You came here in a car today. Good for you. They lived 700 years without a war. Good for them."
Thank you Ranger Mitch for a memorable experience.

Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character.

Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuityand even a bit of wizardryOscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well.
"Oz The Great and Powerful" is produced by Joe Roth, with screen story by Mitchell Kapner and screenplay by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire. Grant Curtis, Palak Patel, Josh Donen and Philip Steuer are serving as executive producers. "Oz The Great and Powerful" opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.

Culinary Capital analyzes this phenomenon in action across the landscape of contemporary culture. The authors examine how each of the sites listed above promises viewers and consumers status through the acquisition of culinary capital and, as they do so, intersect with a range of cultural values and ideologies, particularly those of gender and economic class.

text: Front load washer leaking from door Robert S. • Agoura, CA • December 30, 2014 My Repair & Advice Followed your video instructions. It was invaluable. The toughest part was getting the seal on the back of the drum. Your technician made it look very easy. Once that was on, the rest was pretty easy. The control panel on my Whirlpool Duet washer had a holding screw at the bottom center of it. It wasn't shown in the video, but it was easy to figure out. If you are changing the boot, change the clamp as well. Was this review helpful to you?

India village landslide: PM Modi saddened by loss of life as 10 dead, up to 200 feared trapped
Published on Jul 30, 2014 8:27 PM
MUMBAI (AFP) - A major landslide on Wednesday struck a village in western India following heavy monsoon rains, killing at least 10 people and leaving up to 200 feared trapped, an official said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the loss of life as "saddening" on Twitter, while TV footage showed workers carrying a victim on a stretcher towards vehicles, as a crowd watched. Television footage also showed a chunk of hillside dramatically giving way and a cascade of mud, rocks and trees, sparking clouds of dust below.
Emergency forces rushed to a remote village in Pune district of Maharashtra state, where a hill collapsed sending mud and rocks tumbling on to homes in the morning as residents were reportedly sleeping.
"Ten dead bodies have been recovered so far," said Ms Tripti Parule, a spokesman for the National Disaster Management Authority, in an e-mail message to AFP. "Two persons alive have been rescued. According to the district officials, 150 to 200 (are) feared trapped," she said.

BM Philadelphia Cream questions
I am trying to pick out a new paint color for the main floor dining room, kitchen, living room, and hallway which are open to each other. All trim is white. I can get away with painting the dining room and kitchen one color and the living room and hallway another. Right now the colors feel dark and heavy. Looking for light and airy.
I've been debating BM Philadelphia Cream but in all my searching have found a number of comments saying it is too yellow. I was hoping for a fresh, light, neutral backdrop.
Anyone have pictures of this color in their home? How yellow does it read. I would love to see it and get your feeling on it. Our rooms face west with tons of light.
The only way to get a true reading of the color in your conditions is to paint a large sample board or section of wall and view it under your conditions. Depending on someone else's lighting and your computer monitor to choose a color is dicey at best.
You've already been unhappy once- go get a sample and see its true representation under your conditions.
Ditto what cearbhaill wrote, but also, if you google it, every photo of BM Philadelphia Cream seems to read yellow.
Here is a link that might be useful: Photos of Philadelphia Cream
Thanks for your input. Of course I will get samples when I narrow things down but wasn't sure how yellow it would read in real life when on the wall. I had googled it and every pic shows it differently depending on amount of light and quality of camera and computers.
Have you considered Mascarpone? We used it for our townhouse and it's a very fresh light neutral... warm without being yellow.
I've since moved the pictures down and added lamps on this table so excuse the unbalanced look but it is an accurate representation of the color.
and same color in the bathroom with no natural light
I tried it and it was really, really yellow! I so wanted it to work as another poster had put up pics and it looked lovely in her home. But, it just wasn't right for me, could be my lighting, floors, etc. Could even have been the kid that mixed it - they mix the old fashioned way not on a computer.

Hey Deffy. Yesterday was my first time taking a look at what happened over at the Chelsea forum. I hope that doesn't affect you in anyway in terms of still going there or anywhere else for that matter to voice a respectable opinion. This is a different site as opposed to the others and we all strive to keep this as clean as possible without scaring people away. At the end of the day it's our obligation to protect users like yourself from ridiculous attacks.

Yes I know the diamond sacrifices defence in favour of attack but Liverpool's defence wasn't that great to begin with. If they didn't play the way they did, they prob would have still conceded goals without scoring so many so instead of winning 4-3 they would draw 2-2 or something. I mean when Skertel is your best defender you are in trouble.
I just want to see proper attacking football from Arsenal and this season attacking has been a chore, I don't think any of our attacking players have had much joy. We won ugly way too much this season. The diamond could be used occasionally to bolster our attack then revert to defensive formation thereafter

This is a quick project to forge because it needs little pre-curve work and no tip tapering work, so I thought it would be a good one to show the entire hammering process. Every hammer blow is here for this little knife, though all the heating time has been edited out. This video spans from the time after the piece was cut on a 45 degree angle up to the time it was ready for filing in preparation for hardening and tempering. (if anyone counts the hammer blows, please let me know how many there are!) *edit* 394...thanks, Viking!

Yankees place Carlos Beltran on 7-day concussion DL
More MLB: Power Rankings | Expert Picks | Latest news & notes | Fantasy news
After getting struck in the face by his own liner, via ricochet, in batting practice Wednesday, Yankees designated hitter Carlos Beltran was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list Thursday. He suffered a few facial fractures, too.
Knee and elbow injuries have already been a problem for Beltran this season and he is hitting just .216/.271/.401 with nine homers and 28 RBI. The 37-year-old outfielder has actually been relegated to DH since the second week of May. He signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Yankees this past offseason.
As a corresponding move, the Yankees have recalled Yangeris Solarte from Triple-A. The 26-year-old infielder is hitting .260/.343/.393 with 14 doubles, six homers and 30 RBI in 71 games for the big-league club.

armadillo lawn sculptureby VonChandler -

Armadillo and Behold!
Armadillos may be native to the hotter parts of North and South America, but that doesn't mean you can't raise one of these armored charmers right in your front yard! Spanish for "little armored one," the armadillo is known for its tank-like hide that protects its from predators. Metalsmith VonChandler captures this elusive guarded critter and his rolly-polly appeal in his 2D patinated plate steel sculpture stake. Handmade by Von Chandler in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

VonChandler -
With a winning sense of humor and a great eye for sculpture, artist Von Chandler specializes in one-of-a-kind metalwork that is both dramatic and whimsical. Chandler is a self-described lover of art who wishes he had known his true calling way back in grade school when his intimidating teacher inquired about his aspirations. Now happily married and the proud owner of a home littered with sculptures, he enjoys nothing more than working with his hands and discussing art with other artists. He did once think he'd be a ninja when he grew up, but is kind of glad that didn't happen. collection

Because Venus has an axial tilt of only 2.7 degrees, it lacks the seasons found on both Earth and Mars. Venus also has a very thick atmosphere and suffers from a runaway greenhouse effect, meaning that the surface of the planet experiences no temperature variations whatsoever.Know More
Seasonal changes are the result of the angle at which a planet spins upon its axis. Warmer summer temperatures are experienced by a hemisphere that is tilted toward the sun, while the opposite hemisphere can expect cooler winter temperatures. While the planet Venus is similar to Earth in many respects, its axis is tilted at a much narrower angle.
Venus has an atmosphere that is 93 times thicker than Earth's. Due to its density and the presence of high quantities of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere traps a great deal of heat from the sun and distributes it around the surface of Venus. Temperatures on the surface of Venus average 860 degrees Fahrenheit, regardless of location. Venus rotates much more slowly than Earth, and some areas of the planet may be without direct sunlight for up to 50 Earth-days. Even the difference between the long day and night of the planet is unable to change surface temperatures.Learn more in Planets
Venus is the third smallest planet in the solar system and is around 95 percent of the total size of the Earth. Both Earth and Venus are dwarfed by the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, which is more than 13 times their size.Full Answer >
The closest distance from Earth to Venus is about 26 million miles, while the furthest distance is about 160 million miles. The two planets are closest when they are on the same side in relation to the sun and furthest when they are on opposite sides.Full Answer >
Venus is the planet that is closest to Earth. Venus is about 23.6 million miles away from Earth when it's at its closest, though it can be as far as 162 million miles away.Full Answer >
Venus is just slightly smaller than the Earth, with a radius of about 3,760 miles and a circumference a little over 23,627 miles. These measurements make Venus about 94 percent of the size of the Earth, although it is only about 82 percent as voluminous.Full Answer >

Audio: Texas man 'starting new nation' fires AK-47 at cops, firefighters
60-year-old man who shot at officers and firefighters Monday espoused anti-government views and claimed to be starting his own nation called "Doug-E-Stan"
By Tristan Hallman
The Dallas Morning News
DALLAS — A 60-year-old Corinth man who shot at officers and firefighters Monday in Far North Dallas espoused anti-government views and claimed to be starting his own nation called "Doug-E-Stan," police said Tuesday.
Police say they had found no link between Douglas Lee LeGuin, a Corinth homeowner with no criminal past, and any specific anti-government groups or movements. There was also no clear link between LeGuin and the Far North Dallas house where police said he planned to "occupy" the new nation.
LeGuin was charged with seven counts of aggravated assault against a public servant. He was being held in Dallas County jail late Tuesday in lieu of $350,000 bail.
Maj. Jeff Cotner of the crimes against persons division said the whole incident was "somewhat surreal."
"I've been here 32 1/2 years. This is bizarre," he said.
Corinth Police Assistant Chief Greg Wilkerson said LeGuin's wife called authorities about 1:30 p.m. Monday, reporting that her husband was missing and hadn't gone to work. An AK-47 assault rifle, ammunition and propane tanks were missing from his home, police said.
Wilkerson also said a friend of LeGuin's in Kentucky told LeGuin's wife he had received some audio of him expressing anti-government views.
Later in the afternoon, police said, LeGuin showed up at the house in the 5500 block of North 40th Place and threatened a nanny who answered the door.
Cotner said LeGuin apparently did not try to get inside the house, and he credited the nanny with closing the door and hiding a young girl.
When Dallas firefighters drove by the house, LeGuin started shooting at them, police said. Two bullets hit the firetruck. He also is accused of shooting at officers when they showed up. Nobody was injured.
After the initial shots, police said, LeGuin went into the woods and called 911.
Police released the 911 audio. A man calling himself "Dougie Doug" from the new nation of "Doug-E-Stan" said he was tired of America.
He also said he was upset with Dallas police for "shooting the mentally handicapped." When the call-taker asked if he had been diagnosed with anything, the man replied that he had "a clear mind and a full heart."
Dallas police found several propane tanks and jars filled with liquid outside the home. Some had exploded, and LeGuin said he shot at least one.

Plot mission replayability
Hi guys, devs, Alf,
Is there a chance in the future to have a holodeck feature where players and replay past missions? Some of them were great, and they obviously took a lot of development time and effort. Why not let players enjoy them again at Admiral level? At this point, the only pve solo missions at lvl 45 are the same old B'tran missions that are generated on the fly. Not the same as the crafted missions with plot twists and trigger points.
Going to sound wow'ish, but they had normal dungeons and the heroic level of those same dungeons at max level. Can we have this feature?
