There are only of few artists who have been equally recognized, awarded and celebrated "in front of the camera" as well as "behind the camera" and surely Paula Abdul is worthy to be placed among them. It is because she possesses such a great talent which has led her to be an exceptional choreographer and singer in U.S.. Throughout her career, she has been involved in 37 choreography projects of movie, television, video, stage, and live tour. As a singer, she has collected 11 awards with worldwide album sales reaching 40 million records. All of these have proven that she is indeed can be considered as one of the most notable artists and choreographers in the world.
Paula Julie Abdul has involved herself in music and dance from a very young age. Born on June 19, 1962 in San Fernando, California, she had performed dancing and singing in community musical theater groups at 7. During summertime, she also took part in U.S. theatrical productions. Her desire to be a dancer grew stronger after she watched Gene Kelly's musical film entitled "Singing in the Rain." Pursuing her dream, she learned jazz and tap dance when she was barely 8 years old. Her talent and skills were impressive so that she was rewarded a scholarship to develop her dancing ability under Joe Traime at Bell Lewitzky Company. Attending Van Nuys High School, she became a head cheerleader as well as senior class president. She was graduated in 1980 then continued her study at California State University Northridge, majoring in TV and radio broadcasting. It was during this time that she joined an audition held by the Los Angeles Lakers NBA Cheerleading team. With her distinguishing and dynamic style of dancing, she was successfully accepted, even later was pointed to be the head choreographer of the team.

Taming Twombly, Even After IqbalEdward A. HartnettSeton Hall University School of Law January 1, 2010 University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Vol 158, p. 473, 2010 Seton Hall Public Law Research Paper No. 1452875 Abstract: In Bell Atlantic v. Twombly, the Supreme Court held that an antitrust complaint alleging that major telecommunication providers engaged in parallel conduct unfavorable to competition could not survive a 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, even though the complaint expressly alleged a conspiracy. The Court insisted that a complaint contain 'enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face,' and concluded that a conspiracy, while 'conceivable' was not 'plausible.' In addition, the Court retired the famous language from Conley v. Gibson that 'a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.' Scholarly reaction to Twombly has been largely critical, complaining that the Court imposed a heightened specificity standard of pleading and that plaintiffs will lack the evidence to plead these specifics prior to discovery. Some suggested that Twombly's requirement of plausibility should be understood as an aspect of substantive antitrust law, thereby limiting the impact of the decision largely to antitrust cases. Others suggested that Twombly should be limited to large, complex, sprawling cases, given the Court's evident concern with the cost of discovery in such cases. These hopes of limiting Twombly were dashed by the Supreme Court's decision in Ashcroft v. Iqbal, which held that the Twombly framework applies to all civil actions. Faced with the failure of the attempt to limit Twombly, some have called for a legislative restoration of Conley v. Gibson. This article takes a different tack. Rather than decrying Twombly as a radical departure and seeking to overturn it, this article instead emphasizes Twombly's connection to prior law and suggests ways in which it can be tamed. First, the plausibility standard of Twombly can be understood as equivalent to the traditional insistence that a factual inference be reasonable. Second, the Twombly framework can be treated as an invitation to present information and argument designed to dislodge a judge's baseline assumptions about what is natural. Third, and despite widespread assumption to the contrary, discovery can proceed during the pendency of a Twombly motion.

Keep Your Company Safe From Economic Strikes
Brunschwig & Fils, a 111-year-old, family-owned brand of classic traditional home textiles, furniture and accessories, faced a serious financial crisis characterized by three difficult economic scenarios which struck so many in the home furnishings industry.
The first of the three strikes was the virtual collapse of the housing industry, which began in 2007 and further decreased Brunschwig's already-diminishing sales levels. The second strike was the general economic recession commencing in 2008, which continued to push the company's sales exponentially downward.
The third strike involved the company's high fixed and variable operating costs resulting from decades of market growth and high profits. Management efficiently cut excessive variable costs, such as labor and marketing. However, Brunschwig had more than 20 large showrooms in major cities, and it was not possible to reduce the expensive rents at many of these design centers. While some landlords were realistic, cooperative and flexible, others were less cooperative and totally inflexible, or perhaps uncaring of the plight of the weakened industry.
These three major factors led Brunschwig & Fils to file for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The bankruptcy proceeding allowed for the auction of the company to the best and highest bidder. Many potential acquirers expressed interest in this extremely valuable brand and product line. In a lively and well-attended auction, Kravet Inc. succeeded as the winning bidder and added Brunschwig & Fils to its many brands.
In these very unpredictable and difficult economic times, what can management and boards do to avoid having their company "strike out?" These simple but important steps can keep companies in the "safety zone":
o Diligently maintain and monitor a detailed business plan.
o With absolute certainty, project no less than cash equilibrium.
o Keep bank debt well below collateral limits and leave significant room for a rainy day.
o Unless absolutely necessary, limit fixed, long-term commitments (leases, rentals, fixed-asset purchases, long-term employee contracts, etc.). Always be aware that these must be paid even if the business diminishes.
o Be meticulous and timely in the production and review of financial statements. As a general rule, the previous month's results should be available and carefully monitored no later than the 15th of the following month.
o Be honest with yourself and your creditors. Where possible, seek the counsel of independent outside experts. Their perspectives are often helpful in evaluating your company's circumstances dispassionately.
Even in these turbulent times, applying conservative management techniques and paying attention to cash flow can help home furnishings companies continue to hit home runs and remain safe from striking out.

Endangered Marine Creatures Needlessly Discarded
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said Tuesday that Southeast Asian fisherman are killing sharks and endangered marine turtles every year by discarding them as "unwanted catch."
The global conservation group estimates that millions of pounds of marine creatures are caught in fishing nets and thrown away every year in the so-called Coral Triangle "" an area spanning the seas of Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
Scientists say the area contains the most diverse collection of marine species anywhere on earth. The Coral Triangle is home to six of the world's seven known species of marine turtles, three of which are considered "endangered" and another three "critically endangered," the WWF said in a statement.
The WWF co-authored the study, which concluded that at least 38 million tons of fish, consisting of 40 percent of the world's recorded fish catch, is wasted, unused or unaccounted for.
Fish are highly unregulated in the Coral Triangle, resulting in many millions of pounds of so-called bycatch, the fund said.
"In many cases, fish and marine animals are thrown back to sea dead or dying and currently even if bycatch is used there is no way to tell whether it was sustainable to remove it in the first place," WWF Coral Triangle specialist Keith Symington told the AFP.
"It is an insidious and invisible form of over-fishing," he said.
"The at-sea bycatch of marine turtles, for example, is one of the greatest threats to the future existence of these highly endangered animals. Marine turtle populations in this region have plummeted over the past decade due to indiscriminate fishing methods."
The WWF said it is introducing circle hooks to dramatically reduce turtle bycatch from tuna longlines without sacrificing fishing efficiency.
"Circle hooks or C-hooks are a better alternative to the currently used J-hooks because of their round shape, which makes it difficult for turtles to swallow as opposed to the sharper-ended J-hook that can cause severe damage to turtles when accidentally ingested," said Symington, adding that bycatch is a "major killer of marine wildlife, putting several species at risk of extinction and drastically altering the sensitive balance of marine ecosystems."
The study's findings far exceed previous estimates, which focused primarily on the 7 to 27 million tons of catch thrown away each year.
The findings will be published in an upcoming edition of Marine Policy, a journal of ocean policy studies.

Jews, it is said, are the people of the book, which may explain why Jews buy so many books, both to read themselves and to give to others. Book publishers know that the marketplace is full of Jewish customers with a high level of secular education, a reasonable degree of Jewish awareness and strong aesthetic sensibilities. And now they're having children.
So at BookExpo, the recent gathering of publishers from across the nation, mainstream publishing houses proudly showed off books geared toward today's American Jewish youngsters. Their fall 2004 children's lines predictably featured holiday activity sets ("The Hanukkah Candle Kit," Running Press), jolly shtetl stories ("When the Chickens Went on Strike," Dutton) and real-life tales of youngsters enduring the Holocaust ("Searching for Anne Frank: Letters from Amsterdam to Iowa," Abrams).
Meanwhile, those publishing houses that specifically serve a Jewish readership face the challenge of defining their own focus. Stuart Matlins, who heads Jewish Lights Publishing, Judye Groner, editorial director of Kar-Ben Publishing, and Rabbi Hara Person, editorial director of UAHC Press, are all leading figures in the Jewish book world. All three, operating outside of traditional Orthodox publishing norms, are looking to engage young Jewish readers raised on Dr. Seuss and "Sesame Street."
Their publications downplay shtetl and Lower East Side settings in favor of the here and now. It's been nearly 30 years since Judye Groner and Madeline Wilder co-founded Kar-Ben to give their own children an alternative to stories like the classic "K'tonton," in which all characters were observant Jews of the immigrant generation. UAHC's Person puts it bluntly: "Jewish life still happens today."
Still, all three publishers get frequent submissions in which grandma is a white-haired bubbe with knitting needles and a Molly Goldberg accent. Matlins counters, "Today's Jewish grandma has a college degree and plays golf."
In depicting contemporary Jews, the three publishers try to convey the range of modern Jewish religious practices. In this they part company with the Orthodox Jewish presses, like ArtScroll, which Matlins credits with "doing a superb job of meeting the needs of their audience." In books by Jewish Lights and Kar-Ben, women wear slacks, rabbis may be female and boys and girls pray together. UAHC Press, the official publishing arm of the Reform movement, conscientiously reflects the Reform tradition of accepting many viewpoints. Person reveals that an upcoming picture book, "Shabbat Shalom," in which a family welcomes the sabbath, ignited serious debate among UAHC's staff as to who should be depicted wearing a kippah. The final decision was to put kippot on the heads of the mother and son characters, while leaving father and daughter bareheaded. Person explains that the father's head was left bare to suggest that he might be a non-Jew or perhaps a classic Reform Jew who eschews the traditional headcovering on philosophical grounds.
Jewish Lights Publishing, based in Woodstock, Vt., mirrors its staff's commitment to what Matlins calls "vibrant, living, liberal Judaism. We are believers." Matlins makes clear that "the need we satisfy is for books that inspire and address a child's spiritual life." Ten years ago, the company published its first children's picture book, "God's Paintbrush," by Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso. Since then it has continued publishing works by Sasso, Lawrence Kushner and others that facilitate parent-child conversations about the nature of God. It's consistent with the values of Jewish Lights that God, in such new books as Sasso's "Adam and Eve's First Sunset," is carefully kept free of gender and denominational bias. In fact, Jewish Lights describes itself as "for people of all faiths, all backgrounds."
At Kar-Ben, Groner says, "We keep away from God, pretty much." She feels that Kar-Ben and Jewish Lights serve "different needs of the same audience." For Kar-Ben, one big goal is to introduce Jewish youngsters to the sights, sounds, and smells of Jewish life. Early on, the assumption was that many parents, as well as their children, had little knowledge of Jewish tradition. Today, however, Groner presumes that families are comfortable with basic Judaism, so Kar-Ben books are intended less to teach rituals than to use them "as a backdrop for looking at problems and issues that children face as children." Groner cites "The Purim Surprise," an upcoming book in which the custom of giving shalach manot treats helps resolve the anxieties of the new girl in town. She describes Kar-Ben's mission as "looking at the issues young children face, but through Jewish lenses, in the context of Jewish time and space."
The concept of physical diversity is important to all three presses. The illustrations for UAHC Press' "The Perfect Prayer," a fable about the origins of the "Shema," deliberately include characters of various sizes, shapes, and ethnicities. In fact, all three publishers -- mindful of intermarriage, conversion and the large number of Jews adopting babies overseas -- strive to incorporate Asian, black and Middle Eastern characters into their pages. They also try hard to present stories from a wide range of Jewish traditions, not simply the Ashkenazic. Kar-Ben will soon publish "Apples and Pomegranates," a Sephardic Rosh Hashanah service complete with prayers, recipes and stories. UAHC's Person is excited about "A Year of Jewish Stories," a collection of 52 folktales from all over the Jewish world.
The quality of Jewish children's books is of serious interest to the Association of Jewish Libraries, which monitors new books and award-winners through its comprehensive new Jewish Values-finder Web site (www.ajljewishvalues.org). Its editor, Linda R. Silver, explains why Jewish children's books are important: "The dominant, non-Jewish culture offers many attractions and benefits. It is all too easy and all too tempting to cast off one's Jewish identity -- especially if a strong one has never been developed." She urges American parents to explore Jewish books for their children. So does Lisa Silverman, director of the Sinai Temple Library, which will hold its first Jewish Children's Literature Conference, open to the public, on Nov. 9.

Best whey, no isolates, natural flavor, natural sweetner

Miracle whey is one of the very few whey products that does NOT use protein isolates, which can actually be toxic as the amino acids are separated using acids and are not natural.

Delicious vanilla flavor

I have only tried one other protein shake and I am generally not a shake kind of person. But I purchased this when I saw it on sale and I really love it! I use one scoop with about a cup of almond milk and about 3/4-1 cup of fruit (peaches or a banana or strawberries). This shake is seriously delicious. It's sweet like vanilla ice cream but with such a high protein density. I haven't tried it with the recommended two scoops. My guess is it will be a heavier with possibly more of a artificial taste to it.

Great taste, great product

In overall a great product, smooth vanilla taste, mixes fine to liquids. Only con is a bit beefy pricing, but the quality is better than most of the other whey products I've seen.

Too sweet, too many ingredients, mixes slowly. But okay. Helps the ;grasses powders to taste better, though!

Q From Ginger Johnson: I am curious as to the origin of vamp. The vampire to vamp connection (as in Theda Bara) is straightforward, but how on earth did it come to have something to do with music?
A It has nothing to do with vampires, but its origin is almost equally weird. The word comes from the medieval French avant-pied, literally "before the foot", in reference to the forepart of the foot, in particular the part of hose or stockings below the ankle. It became corrupted in English to vampe, said as two syllables, and then vamp. (In the eighteenth century the old pronunciation was revived through a fashion for short stockings that covered only the foot and ankle, which were called vampeys.) This sense of vamp is preserved in the meaning that denotes the part of a boot or shoe that covers the upper front part of the foot.
It seems that in the middle seventeenth century the word came to be used for anything that had been patched up or refurbished (like darned stockings, we may guess), as in the old phrase to vamp something up for repairing or improving something. This is more commonly now found in the verb to revamp, an American term invented in the 1850s from this existing sense of vamp. Nearer the end of the nineteenth century vamp was adopted by musicians for those short simple phrases, usually improvised, that one plays quietly in the background or as an introduction, presumably because they were patching up a gap or silence.

Mario Bros. Special (Sharp X1)
Published by Developed by Released Also For |
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Mario Bros. Special is based on, but very different from, the original arcade game. Much like the original title, the action takes place on single screens, but the objective on each stage is no longer simply to kill all the enemies. There are four different screens, which cycle in order with increasing difficulty.The first screen sees Mario attempting to reach the top of the screen through moving gaps; at the top of the screen are five switches, and if all five are active simultaneously, the exit gate will open. The second screen features trampolines, which Mario can use to stun enemies; kill all the enemies and an exit platform will appear. The third screen includes conveyor belts which can be used much like the trampolines to stun enemies; the goal here however is to collect money, and eventually a ring will appear at the top of the stage which must be collected. The fourth and final screen is a bonus screen filled with money; collect all the money before the time limit, and another ring will appear, giving bonus points.
Unlike the original game, Mario cannot stun enemies from beneath. Certain platforms, however, are unstable, and if Mario jumps on them they will stun any enemies also on the same platform. He can also stomp enemies if his aim is correct. There is both a single-player and a two-player simultaneous mode.

Refurbishment (electronics)
Refurbishment is the distribution of products (usually electronics) that have been previously returned to a manufacturer or vendor for various reasons. Refurbished products are normally tested for functionality and defects before they are sold, and thus are the approximate equivalent of certified pre-owned cars.
The main difference between "refurbished" and "used" products is that refurbished products have been tested and verified to function properly, and are thus free of defects, while "used" products may or may not be defective. Refurbished products may be unused customer returns that are essentially "new" items, or they may be defective products that were returned under warranty, and resold by the manufacturer after repairing the defects and ensuring proper function.[1]
Other types of products that may be sold as "refurbished" include:
- Items used in field tests, sales displays or demonstrations[1]
- Items returned for reasons other than defect and tested by the manufacturer[1]
- Items returned to the manufacturer because the box or item was damaged in shipping[1]
- Previously leased units that are turned in and resold after the lease ends[2]
- Used electronics that have been turned in to an electronic recycling program[3]
- Used items that have been donated to a charity or non-profit organization[3]
Different companies and industries may have different types of "refurbished" products. Since the electronics industry doesn't have a firm, widely accepted definition of "refurbished", its exact meaning may vary from one product to the next, or one company to the next.[3] In various cases "refurbished" may be synonymous with "used", "reconditioned", "remanufactured", "refreshed", "recycled", "repaired", "recertified", or "like new". Merchants do not often specify the exact reason an item is "refurbished", so buyers may be assuming some of the same risks of buying used equipment.

I'd prefer a touch but will gratefully take any ipod in any color (even magenta, blech) because my ears don't need colors to enjoy the music.

In 1869, just two years after arriving in America from Germany, Gustav Goelitz bought an ice cream and candy store in Belleville, Illinois, and his brother, Albert went out in a horse-drawn wagon to sell their sweets to nearby communities.
Their efforts were met with success, and soon the next generation was craving the next big thing: "buttercream" candies. The original buttercream recipe that was developed in 1900 carried the business through the Great Depression and two world wars, and it continues to be made by the fourth generation of Goelitz candy makers today. 1976 marked the beginning of the "true-to-life" flavors, and the first eight Jelly Belly flavors were born: Very Cherry, Lemon, Cream Soda, Tangerine, Green Apple, Root Beer, Grape and Licorice.
Today, hundreds of delicious Jelly Belly flavors are enjoyed everywhere from school yards and triathlon courses to the President's oval office, because people everywhere know that they can always count on the delicious flavor of every jelly belly flavor to satisfy their sweet tooth anytime, anywhere.

The Hong Kong "skyline" goes now beyond the well-known Central skyline featured in most glossy brochures, and extends to the other side of the Harbour in the Kowloon side, which is now home to Hong Kong's tallest building.
Our definition of a "landmark" includes all classic and cultural features that belong to the city as well, enjoy our list and tell us what we missed!

The customer order business, which allows customers to order products via conventional mail, on the telephone or over the Internet, is growing very quickly, according to IKEA.
In a bid to satisfy demand the retailer has contracted Swisslog to provide supply chain systems and software for two new customer distribution centres in Sweden and Germany and a further distribution centre being built in Sweden.
IKEA hopes to shorten the customer delivery times by half - from 14 days to one week - and cut costs through more effective stock handling and order picking in the distribution centres
There are no immediate plans for a UK-based customer distribution centre but an IKEA spokesman said that additional distribution centres were planned for Europe.
Swisslog will provide logistics, project management, installation, customer support and training.
The company will also provide its warehouse management system software for the new distribution centres, which will be developed into the standard for IKEA's future centres worldwide.
The warehouse management system software will perform internal processing such as control of warehouse stock and order picking management. Swisslog said work will start immediately, with operations beginning in 2002.

AAA+ (ATPases Associated with diverse Activities) proteins share a common catalytic ATPase domain, but are otherwise involved in a large variety of fundamental cellular pathways that govern protein homeostasis, genome stability, cell proliferation and pathogen infection. This meeting gathers scientists from different research areas and disciplines to establish unifying mechanisms, help understand the basis of AAA+-associated diseases, and explore emerging possibilities to target AAA+ proteins for therapeutic treatments.
We encourage young scientist to contribute posters and discuss their work. Selected abstracts will be chosen for oral presentations and poster prizes will be awarded. The meeting will cover topics such as:
- structure-function relationships and mechanisms of AAA+ proteins
- bacterial and eukaryotic proteasomes
- chromatin-associated functions such as replication and transcription
- cell cycle regulation
- cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane traffic
- AAA+ - associated degenerative and infectious diseases
- pharmacological approaches to modulate AAA+ protein function.

The area is in such a mess that even book lovers, who used to frequent the area often, are forced to avoid going to the store."It is impossible to access this bookstore because it has been dug up on both sides. So people who want to come here have to walk over exposed pipes and pits to avoid losing their balance," said Mahesh Kumar, who frequents the store.
But this isn't an isolated case; all stores in the radial roads and in CP's middle circle have met a similar fate with sales plunging massively. "The façade of shops in the middle circle have been blocked from the view. Sale in this part have dipped by almost 60-70%, while sales in the inner and outer circle have dipped by 10-25%. The festival season is around the corner and the area is in a total mess," said Atul Bhargava, president, New Delhi Traders' Association.
Shop owners were also opposed to the laying down of three-metre wide walkways in front of shops in the middle circle since they said it will eat into parking space.
"The area in front of shops located along the middle circle and radial roads of the blocks will be taken up by a three-metre footpath along with a patch of green and a seating plaza. This is absolutely unnecessary because it is eating into parking space in the market," Bhargava added.
Traders said they have made several recommendations to the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) as well as Engineers India Limited to complete the restoration block-wise but their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
Commuters who use the Metro service to get to Connaught Place have also expressed their frustration with the never-ending construction in CP.
"I get off at the Rajiv Chowk Metro station every day to walk to my office. But I am forced to take an auto-rickshaw because the Janpath radial road is inaccessible for pedestrians," said Rita Sharma, who works in CP.

Title: | In Situ Raman Spectroscopic Investigation of Nickel Hydrothermal Corrosion |
Published: | March 01, 2002 |
Abstract: | A nickel coupon was exposed to air-saturated water at a pressure of 25.4 MPa and temperatures ranging from 21 C to 460 C in an optically accessible flow cell. In situ Raman spectra were collected at a number of temperatures as the coupon was heated and then cooled. The coupon also was characterized ex situ with Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction. Corrosion species were observed in situ at temperatures above 249 C during heating and under all conditions during cooling. The species were identified as NiO and α-CrOOH. The α-CrOOH originated as a corrosion product released from the optical cell and/or flow system. The NiO Raman features are more intense during cooling than at the corresponding temperatures during heating, indicating that NiO is present in greater amounts and/or is more crystalline during cooling. |

Comments about Wincraft Los Angeles Dodgers Personalized Round Clock:
I am a regular user of MLB.com products. However, the clock was defective. I sent the clock back to the warehouse in Kentucky using the mailing label provided, but there is no record of it being received. Since I liked the clock, I have reordered another, however, I was very
disappointed that the first product was defective and it was somehow lost in the warehouse.

"The path less trodden" Grand Canyon by toonsarah
Grand Canyon Travel Guide: 934 reviews and 3,113 photos
Only 10% of visitors to the Grand Canyon visit its North Rim, which to us sounded like a good reason to go there, and so it proved to be. Harder to reach, and closed completely in winter (its higher elevation means plenty of snow), it is well worth the planning and little bit of effort needed to get there.
We arrived on an afternoon in late June. The snow we'd seen on a truck earlier that day in Hurricane, UT, should have given us a hint of what we were to find, but we were nevertheless surprised to see "snow showers" chalked up on the board at the entry station. But on the long winding road from there to the Lodge where we were to stay, perched on the rim itself, we experienced just a few drops of sleety rain – maybe the forecast was wrong?
They say you never forget your first sight of the Grand Canyon. We parked up near the Lodge, went inside, and were at once struck speechless by the sight that greeted us. Immediately opposite the entrance of the lodge is a huge window directly overlooking the Canyon. The weather was worsening and black clouds combined with swirls of icy rain to give the most dramatic of effects.
Having checked in we headed for our little cabin, about five minute's walk from the lodge itself. There we hurriedly piled on every one of the few jumpers we had packed with us and headed back to the canyon, which drew us like a magnet. Out on the terraces either side of the lodge we gazed at the sight. The icy rain had become first sleet and then snow, and the winds howling through the canyon created what was close to a blizzard. Despite the cold we were transfixed, and took photo after photo until our frozen hands could no longer grip the cameras safely. At this point we retired to the shelter of the lodge and gazed some more through that huge window while warming ourselves with a cup of coffee.
Later that evening we ate in the lodge's dining room before settling to sleep in our cabin, which thankfully had an efficient stove. And the next morning we woke to a very different canyon. The bad weather had passed, leaving a pleasantly warm sunny day, so we were able to explore the North Rim properly.
A few days later our route took us to the much more crowded South Rim. Perhaps because of those crowds, or because we had experienced such magic on the North Rim, or because we had allowed less time for this part; whatever the reason, the South Rim appealed to us rather less. Nevertheless we enjoyed following the driving tour along the rim, pausing at various viewpoints – Desert View alone made it well worth the trip.
Our final view of the Grand Canyon came not from one of its rims but from the air. We took a short flight from an airfield north of Flagstaff which gave us a rather different perspective and a chance to really appreciate the huge scale of this geological marvel. They don't call it Grand for nothing!
Our visit here was way back in 1993. Memories are hazy and the old photos a bit the worse for wear. But it was a special trip and one I was keen to document for VT. The tips are a bit short on facts perhaps, but I hope there's enough information here to inspire you to visit the Grand Canyon if you haven't already done so, or to bring back your memories of it if you have.
- In a nutshell:Please don't ignore the wonders of the North Rim

Great tips, Sarah. Thank you for telling me about the snowstorm. We'll be there mid-June, so I'll make sure to pack a sweater.
Sarak, I enjoyed your page, tips are excellent. We were meant to visit in May this year but had to postpone. Maybe 2013, and we might have to change plans and include North Rim. We were going May, good tip about extra clothes needed.
Sarah, judging from this page, I don't think you have to worry about your memory! Fantastic tips and photos of your visit, especially re Angel Window & Cape Royal! Sue & I only had time for 1-night on the South Rim (Phoenix business trip).
I remember my first jaw-dropping look through the window of the Lodge - thanks for the memory!
Thanks for such a wonderful set of tips about the north rim. The south rim is OK - if you visit in November! or some other time that isn't peak season. Took the train there too.
Glad to hear you made a point of making it to the North Rim, Sarah. It is an entirely different experience as you say. Very envious of your cabin stay. I must say it was one place I would have liked to splurge too!
Sarah, fantastic page about the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Haveing a beer after a Rangers Talk sounds like my sort of thing. *winkygrin*
The view over Grand Canyon in snowstorm looks amazing! Great you got to see it in different weather. I hope to visit one day!
I like your vivid account of your arrival at the North Rim with a storm coming on. Thanks for taking the trouble to scan in your 1993 photos. (And thanks for having a look at my Zürich updates. Glad you like the tips about funiculars & cog railways.)
Oh, this loghouse looks sooo cute! And Grand Canyon during a snowstorm must be amazing! This honestly makes me want to go there again! and yes, I agree, nothing beats that flight! We once had a similar one like you took :-)
