touring in hawaii- anyone done it?
Tix are really cheap right now to hawaii.
Has anyone toured in hawaii? I'm thinking of heading out to the big island with my bike, some snorkeling gear, and a sleeping bag. (Anyone have 2 sets of snorkeling gear to loan?) I figured that if I can get me and my bike to the big island (with panniers/ sleeping bag/ etc) I could spend a week and a half riding the 300 miles around the big island. Anyone have advice? I've done some research and it looks like the big island has the least traffic and the most open road. Has anyone ridden around the big island or toured on any of the other islands? I am the most intrigued by Kaua'i, but it looks like road riding isn't such a good idea there, and the other islands look expensive, densely populated, and only have online advertisements that sound like "30 mile downhill with a guide that sets the speed for 100 bucks." yuck. Thanks! Gregg firstname.lastname@example.com :D |
Greg, your question piqued my curiousity. I tried to dig up some info from the H-DOT website on bicycling, but it's got to be the most disfunctional government website i've ever seen - just a mass of dead links, at least in the cycling arena. I couldn't even find an email address to complain about it... They suck beyond belief, just wish i could tell 'em that.
I've been to the Big Island, driven pretty much around it, but haven't biked at all on it. Not sure what to make of the cycling conditions; wish i remembered more about whether or not there's shoulders (when i drive i habitually watch to see if there's a decent shoulder) but really can't recall. There's some pretty remote areas on the north and south sides where it *seemed like* the traffic was fairly low. There may be some opportunities to get off the main island ring road on to some tertiary paved back roads, which could be really cool. the landscape on the north side - on the way from Hilo over to the dry side - is really beautiful, seems like it would be fantastic for cycling. If you go, report back! |
We went on a week-long vacation at the end of March.
Here's what I remember: traffic was fairly heavy around Kona and Hilo. Heading south out of Kona on hwy 11, the road is twisty and hilly, traffic thins out, and I think there were okay shoulders. Heading north out of Kona on hwy 19, the road is fairly straight, with a great shoulder (because they do the Ironman out of Kona), but the headwinds are going to kill you. As I recall, the great shoulder went all the way up 19 to 270, then it got kind of skinny going up 270. You can ride 270 all the way north until it dead-ends at Pololu valley, then hike down the steep and often-muddy trail to the beach where a lot of people camp out. We saw two families setting up camp (tents and all) when we did the hike. Heading south around the island, the weather will get more Oregon-like; Hilo was rainy and grayish, the volcano was 60s and showers (the visitor center is at 4000 feet, it's a bit of elevation), and the whole east-side of the island was steep and cooler than the west-side. For snorkeling, you want to be on the west-side of the island. That's where all the warm weather is, and all the great snorkeling beaches. You'll be doing your fair share of climbing and descending, that's for sure! But it would be a lot of fun. |
Haven't done any touring on the Big Island, but have ridden quite a bit around Captain Cook and Kealakekua Bay. Not much shoulder on the highway from N of Captain Cook to about 15 miles S of there. After that good shoulder pretty much all the way to Hilo. Traffic isn't too heavy, but over 50% tourists who are generally looking at other things besides the road. Lots of up and down all the way around. Lots of humidity which will sap you, so don't plan long days for the first couple. You mentioned a sleeping bag; I have never done it but I understand camping is pretty problematic; not many official spots and those are expensive. Don't know about stealth camping options.
Here is the only real Hawaii bike resource I have found online: http://www.pathhawaii.org/links.htm |
Can't say I've toured...
I've been on tours though,... I was in the business of Hawaii tours up until late August.
The only (guided) bike tour I'd do on Oahu again, would be the 100% Mountain bike tour (link goes to my photos) put on by Bike Hawaii, and possibly their hike/bike/snorkel tour. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2458/...39d2858546.jpg Been There... Done That... If you click here, you can see the Slide show I've done other tours put on by other companies on Oahu, and I can't say I was very happy with the product. On Maui, I've done the Haleakala Downhill tours twice (got to see the sunrise both times), but that was "back in the day" (before I had a digital camera). Now the ride portion begins outside of the Park, and I've yet to do the tour with the wine (not whine) stop. Given half a chance, I'd try to ride from Paia to the top (and back) which comes out to be ~76 miles, with a summit at 10023' (at the halfway mark ;) ) Never got a chance to try the Waimea Canyon tour in Kauai. Nor any kind of bike tour on the Big Island. Still, I want to go back, and circle each of the inhabited islands. There is a book of self guided tours (Hawaii by Bike). However, it was written before 9/11, and I'm a little concerned about how dated it was. Anyway, Have a great time! (bring me back a tee shirt ;) ) K'Tesh |
Backpacking in Hawaii
So we are leaving for Maui in a few days. We are not bike touring around the island as I don't think that this is the best place to tour. We are however planning a backpacking trip. I know that that is not exclusively biking- but hey- I've gotten great advice from folks on this site and I trust people here.
Has anyone backpacked on Maui? or has anyone backpacked from the peak to the east coast on Maui? Thanks! |

Imagine my excitement when I got a lovely surprise in the mail last week: eight jars of their new pasta sauce, two canvas bags, an apron, and a wooden spoon.
Pre-made sauces, especially those that taste homemade, are perfect for those nights when cooking is the last thing you want to do. Honestly, if we weren't right smack dab in the middle of moving, I'd probably keep all of the sauces for myself. But lucky for you, we're trying to leave all of our pantry goods behind and start fresh when we get to Italy!
Because I'm moving in the blink of an eye, and because I love you guys, I'm giving away four Barilla sauces, a canvas bag to carry them in, a spiffy apron to wear (so you don't splatter yourself with sauce!), and a spoon to stir it with (all pictured above).
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE leave your email address!

Read More
As always, your first thought should not be what desk top computer, but how – and to what – you are going to use your desktop computer. Today most of them are powerful enough to cover the most common needs for most users. If you, on the other hand, have some special needs like the latest games or video editing and so on, you probably have to look at a more powerful desktop computer. The connectability today is almost endless, wired as well as wireless, so most of the desktop computers are versatile enough. Be sure to check that you can upgrade sound cards, hard drives and such components easily.
Nowadays most of them are silent but not all, so check the noise the level if you are going to place it on your desk. It is also important to have some connections easily available for USB flash drives, cameras and such, for example, on the front. Regarding what components you should buy it is impossible to advise; almost every application has its demand and specs, so consult the manual of the game or soft ware you are going to run on your computer. And as we tend to use our computers more and more today as a TV receiver, a video editing machine, a hard drive recorder and a media center and/or game consol, be sure to check that is has got free connection possibilities for future use.
Roughly, desktop computers could be divided into following segments:
• Budget. Here you often find good value for money if you just are aware of the limitations, but often also last year's technologies and basic versions of software. This is a good choice for internet surfing, basic word processing and such duties. Many times increased RAM memory is all you need to even handle photos and other demanding tasks. But this group will NOT be ideal for it.
• Small-sized desktop computers. Often well designed and compact in size the smaller ones are meant to look good on the desk. Not so many possibilities as a full tower but probably enough for the most of us.
• Full-sized powerful desktop computers. Powerful processors combined with lots of RAM memory and a roomy hard drive make these desktop computers capable of almost any task. Lots of free slots for new connections and hardware make them very versatile.
• Media centers This is the set for gaming and/or movie buffs. They come with media center software and many possibilities to connect with other components such as TV sets, projectors or gaming consoles. They are equipped with the very best of graphic and sound cards but as there constantly comes new versions of them be sure to check that all of them are upgradable.
So when you have decided how and to what you are going to use your desktop computer, look for tests of interesting models and don't forget to check the noise level. And hey, historically it has always been a good idea to have a lot of RAM memory and hard drive capacity.
Listen to your computer: if it is going to stand next to you on the desk be sure that it is not to noisy.

Kathy and Doug Keith were warned that their son Jimmy, diagnosed with Down syndrome, might not have the same physical abilities as his twin sister. But the Keiths were determined that their boy would have the chance to play sports. Today, the entire family is involved, cheering at events, playing sports, raising funds to support athletes like their son, coaching, and even starting a program in a new sport -- basketball.
For the Keiths, Special Olympics is a family affair.
"Jimmy's diagnosis with Down syndrome was an unexpected stepping stone, which led us down a very different path than we had planned," recalls Kathy Keith.
Doctors warned Jimmy's parents that he may not be as physically able as his twin sister, Julia. Determined not to let Jimmy's physical challenges impede his participation in sports, Jimmy's father, Doug looked into Special Olympics. Impressed by what he saw, Doug signed up for a golf-a-thon and began a lifelong commitment to fundraising for Special Olympics.
Both Jimmy's twin, Julia, and older sister, Sarah, participate in Unified Sports.
When Jimmy turned eight, he started with Special Olympics in soccer. He wanted to play basketball, too, but there was not a local program. So his mother, Kathy, decided to start one. "If you build it, they will come. This is what I learned as I galvanized a group of parents, athletes and volunteers for basketball that first year.
"On the first night of practice, I thought it would just be Jimmy and a few friends who would come. As it turned out, despite a snowstorm, there was a traffic jam in town with so many people showing up."
Five years later the basketball program has more than 100 participants in Unified Teams -- consisting of Special Olympic athletes and Unified Partner peers who do not have an intellectual disability. Both Jimmy's sisters participate - his twin sister, Julia, plays with the middle school team and their older sister, Sarah, plays with the high school-age team.
Special Olympics gave Jimmy confidence to succeed on and off the playing field.
If you talked to Jimmy Keith, you would hear his enthusiasm for school and sports. He plays basketball, soccer, baseball and track & field. He tells us, "Basketball is my favorite, it takes lots of skill."
His parents credit Special Olympics with giving their son the confidence that helps in every area of his life and Jimmy agrees, "I like that Special Olympics gives me exercise for all the other parts of my life."
As Kathy tells us, "We have an athletic family. The girls play high school and club sports. We all go to cheer. It's really nice that we have events for Jimmy too."
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.

As Facebook topped one billion monthly users in October 2012, the online social network continued to face questions about how best to monetize its surging traffic. The company could invest further in new advertising products, which represented the majority of the revenue thus far, or concentrate on the Facebook Platform and help third-party developers create and distribute their own applications. After a highly anticipated yet largely disappointing initial public offering (IPO), Facebook's stock price steadily declined. It became critical for the Facebook team to identify sustainable growth opportunities, particularly as more of its user base accessed the site via mobile devices.
learning objective:
To explore different ways of monetizing social relationships.

Everyone wants to know what Hironobu Sakaguchi has in store for us in his initial endeavor at Microsoft. The Japanese version of Xbox.com published an interview with Sakaguchi, and now thanks to Xboxyde English readers may take a gander as well. His visions for the two games he is producing and writing can only be described as astounding. Sakaguchi says in the interview:
"Also, as I said before I want to get away from coming-of-age stories, and create comical or tragic scenes unlike any seen in games before. I'm trying to make something that will feel fresh, and explores the possibilities of interactivity."

No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you – that is an iPod upside down on a tripod which consistst of speakers. We can't imagine how much would sound on this device, which is powered by a single AAA battery, but it certainly can't be good for the neck having to turn your head virtually upside down to read the ID3 tags. This speaker system may not be very practical, but it will be a good conversation starter when set up on an office desk or coffee shop table.

New meets old with this retro controller from Sega. The company has announced a new controller for the Sony Playstation 2 – a Sega Saturn controller reconfigured to work with the PS2. The controller does not have any analog control sticks, and the L1/R1 buttons are relocated to the Z and C button positions. This black controller brings back memories of classic Sega consoles – where much of our time was spent alongside Sonic the Hedgehog. If you miss the Sega Saturn, be sure to pick one of these controllers on March 24th for the cool price of $22. Now bring on the NiGHTS sequel!

Microsoft Hires Final Fantasy Creator
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Video Games
Microsoft has hired Final Fantasy creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi, to produce two exclusive games for its next generation console, Xbox 2/360°. The Final Fantasy series has been highly successful in the Sony Playstation world, and an Xbox exclusive might give Microsoft the edge it needs to topple the number one company in gaming. It is also no secret that Microsoft has had a tough time penetrating the Japanese video game market. Having Sakaguchi on board can definitely help in that respect. The two games are said to be released shortly after the launch of the console on a worldwide basis. We eagerly anticipate what creations Sakaguchi will have in store for us.

Get Your Kids to Brush with Hasbro's "Tooth Tunes"
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Misc. Tech
Kids could care less about cavities and rising health care costs, but maybe a little Jay Z can help get them to take care of those choppers. With this device, a two-minute recording is stored on a microchip. You simply push a button on the toothbrush, and a minicomputer starts playing the song, transporting it through the transducer to the teeth, and from there to the jawbone then to the inner ear. Now if only I could find a way to play some Usher when flossing, which is usually the bigger hassle.

Everytime I handle some sharp instrument, I think I'm going to hurt myself somehow. Maybe I've been watching too much Final Destination. To help complete my utter dread, Vice Versa now offers a creepy, yet fascinating rack for your knives. It sure beats that boring wooden block most people use. Measuring 40 x 25 cm, it looks like it only comes in red. How appropriate.

Rockbox, long known for their Archos replacement firmware, has has their eyes on iRiver products lately. It looks like Rockbox has been able to port the Game Boy emulator "GNUBoy" to the iRiver HP120 and 140. The current version is monochrome and they admit a little slow, but fully functional. Since they only work in monochrome I doubt we will ever see a full color version, but I for one would definitely download this if I owned an iRiver HP120.

If you are planning to purchase Sony's PSP on March 24th, but have yet to reserve one – you have some hunting to do. According to many people, EB Game stores and Gamestop stores have stopped taking advance orders for Sony's upcoming handheld console. While there are other retailers who still continue to take preorders, the initial PSP shipment is said to be in the 1 million range - and the major outlets will be getting more units than the smaller stores. With the launch date quickly approaching, the hype is rising as fast as these gadgets are selling. Sony has yet to release when their second batch will ship out or how many PSPs will be included.

Wow, this started some comments, Raven sorry about your dog, but asking strangers for funds to pay for vet bill is for me over the line, maybe try asking the Vet. to accept payments from you till bill is paid. Accidents do happen inspite of how carefull we maybe, no one is to fault, so use this information to raise your level of awareness to other possible hazzards? I guess if we split fine hairs we are really just stewards of the land we hold title to, but while I'm the steward I have absolute say on who can or cannot walk my land, hunt, fish, ect you are guest and have been generious been granted to visit, willful distruction of private property for any reason will find you arrested. We also have people who post small plots but want to roam at will on yours, I don't allow them here, but will take the opportunty to teach them that allowing access to their land can be benefit them protection of their private property when they aren't there to protect it.
A number of thoughts come to mind on this question:
1- Whatever I am doing on my property is my business, not yours.
2- When did you last pay my taxes or mortgage on the land you want to violate?
3- Who are you going to sue when you trip and fall and break your leg because you wore the wrong shoes or your walking stick broke?
4- Why cant you give me tyhe respect that you yourself would demand?
5- Distruction of personal property (ie: the ugly signs) is a crime and you could go to jail.
6- The signs are made loud and "ugly" so people will see them.
People generally buy isolated plots of land so they can get away from rude nosey people. Ogften all they want is peace and quiet. I allow hunters to use some of my land..that is up to the first time they dont clean up behind thamselves especially the empty shot gun shells. Cattle will eat them and die because they cut their stomachs to ribbons. So up go the "Keep Out" and "No Trespassing signs"
If you want to go walking badly, try a national park or forest or historical area, you pay a share of the taxes for those places. Those are the places open to the general public, not the places known as Private Property.
Of course I could use your argument and go walking around your home, walk into the house and catch you and your wife in a " wanted" moment, and using your argument, you shouldnt be upset, after all the door and its lock are ugly!
An anarchist is self-governed... and though they don't believe in the 'law', are usually the first to run to it for protection. As for rural experience... we've been here for generations. And prior to our being here the natives had quite a tradition of territorial behavior.
Self-governing and communal organization is not disassociative in nature. Self-governed is to enter obligation at one's will.
Self-described anarchists are many... and few are willing to live in true anarchy. Most I've conversed through forums with are under the impression that some societal imposed rules are OK. Imposed rules are not a part of anarchy.
So in this example, the societal imposed rule against trespass is wrong... but if said property owner released the hounds on them, or took a more personalized approach... then the societal imposed rules against assualt and battery are OK.
Territorial behavior has primitive foundations throughout the animal kingdom... and is thus inherent. It would be interesting to hear of which native culture did not have territorial behavior, since I've never heard of any.
Edward Abbey- "Of course I litter the public highway. Every chance I get. After all, it's not the beer cans that are ugly; it's the highway that is ugly."
Seems Eddy had something in common with the author of "I'm so righteous, I rip down signs when I'm drunk and nobody is watching."
Most anarchists live alternative lifestyles also.
Anarchy does not imply chaos... though it is a possible outcome. The same way that the square root of 4 can be 2 or -2. Anarchy may be chaotic or ordered. It simply implies that no ruler above the individual exists (self-governed).
All of us are born anarchists (watch any two year old)... its the need for security that drives us to statism. Even someone that declares themself an anarchist operates under this mode.
The person removing the signs would state they are an anarchist, but if you attempted to kill them with a rock... would turn statist suggesting that some inherent human right to life or underlying natural law exists. When in fact neither is true.
This thread seems to be taking a very "theoretical" turn as if what the author is talking about does not and could not exist in the real world. England, Scotland, and Wales all have at least partially adopted the rights of passage that the author is talking about. I have had the pleasure of going on a number of walking trips in England and can attest to the joy of walking more or less unencumbered across the countryside.
Like here the laws vary locally but there is a huge network of historic footpaths for which the rite of passage has been maintained. I have walked through farm yards on trails that passed between the house and the barn. Curtsey and the law require that you do not linger; and that you close gates, but you may pass. The law also requires that the gates not be locked unless a way to get around, over, or through them is provided
There has been a movement to protect and expand these rights that goes back at least to the 1930's and is still very much alive today. Trespass day (the anniversary of the day in 1932 when 500 working class "ramblers" challenged and ultimately defeated the trespass laws) is still celebrated by thousands of walkers. A national trail called Trespass Trail has just been opened in its honor.
In addition to the footpaths there is also the right walk over land that meets certain definitions even in the absence of trails or paths. This right exists based on the type of the land, not how or by whom it is owned. They are currently campaigning to include all coastal land in the definition. The uncultivated rural land that the author describes would certainly meet the definition of land that one could walk on with little or no restriction.
Law and history are different here but this is a real world model of how these laws could be changed. Anarchy is not required. A little civil disobedience might be.
In rural New England, the ability to roam exists... within reason and some minor restrictions.
The 'uncultivated' land you are seeing is in reality someone's tree farm or in some cases a wildlife reserve. The landowner of the tree farm may be hesitant due to squatting and the possibility of set fires, trash, etc. The wilderness reserve whether public or private may preclude a formated pathway, but seldom preclude walkers except for the same fears as tree farmers.
The reality is a person on foot, not bedding down for some period of time, has a very limited range of activity (maybe a half to a dozen miles before returning).
In an ideal world people would be kind to one another, respect each other and not trespass without asking. Down at my mother's house there is a white birch tree, in the 1930's when my grandparents ran a boarding house, one of the boarders went for a walk and ended up at this house which wasn't lived in during the summer, only the winter. Anyways they peeled the paper off of this birch, a band about six inchs wide. They did not mean any harm they just didn't know that this peeling scars the tree, today 75 years later there is still this ugly black scar. You can go to any public camp ground where white birch grows and see where people have peeled the paper off of these trees or worst yet set the paper afire. In the Adirondack park on state land, any live trees, brush ect. that is cut or damaged results in your arrest, now if the state can see fit to protect the natural resources on our land why should it be any different in the stewardship of my land to protect it?
It boils down to the respect for others and their rights. The problem here is that there are too many people now, that lack this respect. So, unfortunately, there has to be laws to enforce something that should be second nature to everyone.
Earth Home Project:www.freewebs.com/stocktonunderground
Wow, walk away from the forums for two weeks and look what I missed.
I may have missed this above, but I have another viewpoint. Most of the above works fine if you are truly rural. You aren't likely to get too many walkers anyway. Today, as the big tracks get divided into 1 2 3 or 5 acre small tracks, urbanization is beginning to creep where it never used to.
Here in coastal california, we have a large homeless population, that seems to find large pieces of land make a good places to camp. If all someone wanted to do was walk across the property, maybe, but that is not always the case. Camps become garbage dumps.
Meth labs, pot farms etc all seem to do better when people sneak clandestinely onto private land.as well. Piles of toxic debris and garbage are not uncommon anymore in the remotest of places.
These days I'd say, walk the roads and established trails in parks and leave the private property be.

To pull even with Cards, Dodgers count on ace
Kershaw squares off with Wacha in duel of electrifying young arms
ST. LOUIS -- The pitching matchup for Game 2 of the National League Championship Series looks, to the uninitiated, to be distinctly one-sided.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have Clayton Kershaw -- only 25, but already a full-fledged star -- going for them. He won the NL Cy Young Award in 2011, and he appears to have the inside track on a second Cy this season, with a 1.83 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP.
It would appear that almost anybody coming up against Kershaw on Saturday at 4 p.m. ET on TBS would be seriously mismatched, particularly in the case of a mound opponent who is just 22 and has made only nine regular-season starts in the Major Leagues.
But if you have seen Michael Wacha's recent work, you would not be making the mistake of underestimating him in any way. In his last regular-season start, against Washington, Wacha pitched a no-hitter for 8 2/3 innings before giving up an infield hit. He encored with 7 1/3 one-hit innings in Game 4 of the NL Division Series against the Pirates. This was an even more impressive performance, given that the Cardinals went into this start trailing 2-1 in the series and were on the road.
So in his last two starts Wacha has allowed two hits over 16 innings. In Pittsburgh, he also had more than 40,000 people chanting his surname at him, in the belief that he would become unnerved. Far from being intimidated, Wacha enjoyed the chanting and even managed to flip it over to his own advantage.
"I just tried to use that," Wacha said with a smile. "I kind of like it. It kind of gives me adrenaline. I kind of used it in my favor."
"Why he's been able to be successful so far is that he has trusted himself," Cards manager Mike Matheny said of Wacha. "He's trusted the game plan that's put in front of him. He's trusted his catcher. He's trusted his stuff. Then it comes down to taking the distractions and minimizing them."
The Game 1 pitching matchup in this series was also supposed to favor the Dodgers, with Zack Greinke, another former Cy Young Award winner, going up against another young pitcher, Joe Kelly, who had just begun to make an impact in the St. Louis rotation in the second half of the 2013 season. But Kelly held his own against Greinke, and the game eventually turned into a battle of the bullpens, with the Cardinals winning, 3-2, in 13 innings.
Now, with the Cards winning the opener, the pressure may be greater upon Kershaw. A 2-0 deficit might appear to be even worse than usual, because even while the series will move to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Monday (8 p.m. ET on TBS), that pitching matchup will be Hyun-Jin Ryu for the Dodgers against Adam Wainwright for the Cardinals.
Wainwright, the acknowledged ace and leader of the St. Louis staff, was superb in two starts against Pittsburgh in the NLDS, winning two starts and compiling a 1.13 ERA.
But before we get that far down the road, there will be Game 2. This may be an autumn pitching classic, with Kershaw, arguably the best starter in baseball this season, against Wacha, the best starter in baseball over the last two starts.
The Dodgers will need something very much like Kershaw's best, while the Cards will be looking for another victory that would look like an upset to many, but would feel to this team -- so reliant on outstanding, young pitching -- like another day at the office.

A three-night retreat with Patricia Sullivan and Eijun Linda Cutts
Thursday 4 pm - Sunday 12:30 pm
October 10-13
Wheelwright Center and Zendo at Green Gulch Farm
Stepping back and in: finding nourishment and inspiration through the foundational practices of Yoga and Zen.
The retreat begins with a 4 pm yoga session in the Green Gulch zendo followed by meditation, dinner in the dining room, and an evening gathering in the Wheelwright Center.
On Friday and Saturday, we will have two full days of practice together, with time for enjoying the beauty of Green Gulch Farm. The morning session with Linda will include sitting meditation, dharma talks, and a chance to discuss and clarify the teaching and one's own practice. Patricia will lead two yoga sessions on those days.
The morning yoga classes will include explorations in stabilizing and realigning the body through simple movements aimed at releasing compensatory habit patterns and reintroducing stability where it is lacking. Through this work, we awaken to a more refined awareness of our relationship with gravity and notice greater freedom from the limitations and pain caused by misalignments. Yoga poses, as well as the posture of meditation, become more naturally approachable and can exert their energetic influence unimpeded. Insight into and direct experience of our more subtle and expansive layers of existence are accompanied by a thoroughly grounded sense of being alive. We are awake, present and capable of stepping forward to offer ourselves in whatever way is needed in the moment.
Afternoon yoga sessions will be more restorative and contemplative in nature and will include working with the breath and some meditation.
Sunday morning, after Zazen and a restorative yoga practice, we will end with a tea ceremony and lunch.
Retreat Fee:
$240 ($204/member). Some partial scholarships available. Please note that the retreat fee does not include

The 2013 International Plastic Modeler's Convention is going to be held at
J. Q Hammons Conference Center in Loveland, Colorado from Wednesday, August 14th through Saturday August 17th, 2013
This is located 46 miles north of Denver.
The SubCommittee is one of the IPMS Special Interest Groups (SIGS), and I am the contact person.
As a SIG, we will be given a table at the Convention to set up a display (publicity for us).
I would request that any SubCommittee member in the area think about the possibility
of showcasing the SubCommittee by taking along some models (R/C or display). I think we
have banners available with our logo, and it would be a great opportunity to recruit
some new members. Of course IPMS is mostly display modelers, but often some of those are ready to take the next step,
particularly if they see an organization that has R/C models and can assist them in their build.
Anyone interested please let me know, as I need to let the IPMS know that we would like a table by mid-April.
Many thanks!

Adding Value: The Ad Specialty Top 10 Eco-Friendly Giveaways
The Advertising Specialty Institute released its first-ever list of top 10 eco-friendly giveaways for Earth Day 2010. Earth Day was celebrated on April 22 around the world, and more companies than ever before used eco-friendly giveaways to promote their commitment to caring for the environment.
Promotional products, or advertising specialties, are items imprinted with logos or slogans to market a company, organization, product, service, achievement or event. They are frequently purchased as gifts to employees and clients for occasions year-round, and marketers often include them in their campaigns to dramatically increase response rates.
Products made from renewable resources continue to gain momentum, including dinnerware made from bamboo. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet, growing up to four feet in one day, and it is 100 percent biodegradable.
According to Timothy M. Andrews, president and CEO of the Advertising Specialty Institute, "Companies are hungering for eco-friendly products to help tout their earth-friendliness to customers and employees," said Timothy M. Andrews, president and CEO of the Advertising Specialty Institute. "In fact, these items are so popular that we now have an exclusive pavilion at our five superregional trade shows dedicated to showcasing new eco-friendly products."
In an interview with Andrews last week, Pritning News found out how the ad specialty marekt is faring and what's in store for the remainder of 2010.
PN: What ad specialty products sold well last year?
TMA: According to ASI's Counselor magazine and its State of the Industry Report for 2009 – the latest available – the top 10 product categories are:
• Shirts
• Bags
• Headwear
• Desk/Office Accessories
• Writing Instruments
• Other Wearables
• Glassware/Ceramics
• Computer-Related Products
• Health and Safety Products
• Electronics
PN: What will be the big sellers for 2010?
TMA: T-shirts are popular and all wearables continue to be a staple in the industry. Eco-friendly items, like products made of renewable bamboo, are some of the innovative products growing in popularity this year.
PN: How is the industry affected by the downturn?
TMA: Our research shows that promotional products industry sales were off by about 9.7 percent in fourth quarter 2009, versus the same time in 2008. However, the good news is that the rate of sales declines has slowed consistently throughout last year. I'm expecting 2010 to be a rebound year and for companies to start investing in growth again.
PN: Are your members struggling to stay in business?
TMA: Like many other businesses, some distributors and suppliers are experiencing sales declines. But, now is the time to ramp-up marketing efforts. Some members have been successful by trying to capture the market share that their competitors have stopped pursuing right now.
Also, I think you need to be even more flexible in an economic climate like this. If you can offer a current customer a discount on shipping in order to keep the business, then do it. If there's a new customer or market segment you can go after, then now may be the time to try it.
Our education efforts are now second to none, and attendance at our education sessions at our shows in 2010 has been strong. In Dallas, for instance, more than 700 attendees participated in 55 workshops. Education day in Orlando attracted nearly 1,200 distributors and suppliers, down slightly from last year's record, but up 10 percent from 2008. Also, every week our editorial and education team hosts an Internet radio show with tips and tactics for businesses. Tune in live every Tuesday morning, at asicentral.com/radio.
We've worked closely with our members to provide the best marketing tools in the industry for their business and to offer flexible monthly payment options.
PN: Are the 'green' products selling well?
TMA: Yes. Counselor magazine's 2009 State of the Industry Report shows that 29 percent of promotional products suppliers surveyed offered green products in 2007, and that percentage increased to 46 percent in 2008.
We have also dedicated a section at our five super-regional trade shows to showcase only new eco-friendly products. More companies that are buying promotional products want to tout their environmentally friendly practices to their customers and to their employees.
