This is my second Noodle, this one for a friend's toddler. I am completely obsessed with crochet, it's wonderful. Why did it take me so long to learn?! I've made a little free time for myself this weekend to do a bit of spinning, so the results of that will be available soon.

Baby Bruno Rattle- WIP
I've been bitten by the crochet bug! Here's a little something I'm working on for a new baby- a lion rattle. The pattern is "Baby Bruno Rattle" by Irene Strange (who has wonderful patterns) and the yarn is DB Baby Cashmerino. I don't think my colour changes on the handle are great, but the crochet on the face part is nice and neat.

Robyn and her nursery bag
The knitting and spinning have taken a back seat to the crochet and sewing recently. Here's my latest project- just a quick drawstring bag whipped up while Robyn was napping this morning for her bits and pieces for nursery. It's made from two FQs and a few scraps for the monogram and I've used green and purple ribbon for the drawstrings. It has a gusset at the bottom so there's loads of room for her Lotte bear, spare clothes/bibs, sunhat etc. I bought the lovely fabric at QuiltEssential in Derbyshire.

Whirly Wheels Quilt- finished!
I finished my first quilt! It's made using a Moda jelly roll in Arcadia plus some plain brown cotton from my local fabric shop. The pattern is the whirly wheels quilt from the Moda Bakeshop, which was really easy to follow. I can't quite believe that I managed to make something this pretty with my tiny little sewing machine and my dodgy sewing skills!

Whirly Wheels quilt in progress
I decided to learn how to sew, including clothes and quilting. Like I don't have enough hobbies, right?
So here's my first big project- a quilt. This is the completed top section, made from a Moda Bakeshop pattern. The fabric is a Moda jelly roll in "Arcadia", which I love. I've got brown backing fabric, and then I'm going to attempt to quilt it, using blue thread on the underside and brown on the top. I'm going to quilt in the ditch as I think that will be easiest on my first go.

Robyn's new jumper
I finally finished some knitting! The pattern is Baby Shell by Carey Huffman, yarn is RYC Cashcotton. I found the yarn a bit more fluffy than I would have liked- I should have realised that with some angora/cashmere content it was going to be fluffy! It's turned out really nicely though. I liked the pattern very much- it's simple but works really well, plus there are no buttons for my little monster to try and eat! I might try and handspun version next.

Robyn's first Easter
Here's Robyn wearing her Easter present from Nanna- a lovely stranded yoke cardigan in baby cashmerino. The lamb is my rather wonky attempt at sewing. It's made from a Bit of Whimsy pattern in needlecord and cotton flannel. Robyn doesn't seem to mind the dodgy sewing, and I've obviously done a fairly good job as she hasn't managed to pull any of the limbs off yet.
In spinning news, I had the drum carder out a couple of weeks ago and made up some batts. Some are green to make a pair of mitts for my sister, and I've also made a bit fluffy pile of angora, silk and a touch of shetland, which is eventually going to be the lining for my Fiddlehead mittens (which I will get around to knitting to wear next winter, I am determined). I tried a little bit on my spindle and it wanted to spin up fairly fine- no surprise really considering the short staple of the angora. However, I tried a bit on my wheel and with longdraw it came out just the right thickness. I'm not quite sure that angora is quite the right fibre for longdraw, but it seems to be working rather well so far. I'm trying to keep it medium twist (I'm normally at the upper end of what a fibre can take, twist-wise) so that it can fluff up a bit in the mittens.

I am still here...
and beginning to spin and knit again, now that I'm finally getting my evenings back. This is Five Plum Pie, which was May's offering from the Hello Yarn fibre club. It's falkland fibre, spun into an aran weight 2 ply on my Schacht Ladybug. I ended up with 158m, 9WPI, which was just what I wanted. I love how bouncy and rounded it is, and I'm really pleased with the way that the colours work together too.
Robyn is now 6 months old and an absolute delight. She obviously takes up a lot of my time, and although I've missed my crafts I don't resent that. However, it is really nice now that she is asleep earlier in the evenings and I'm less tired. I find that just a little bit of crafting every day helps me to feel more human.

This is why the blog has been quiet lately...
This is my daghter, Robyn April, born on the 18th of August at 1.18pm, weighing 7lb 8oz. We had a lovely natural birth at the John Radcliffe hospital, where the midwives were all absolutely brilliant. Robyn is now 4 weeks old and is growing really quickly. She's finally starting to be able to sleep for short periods on her own during the day (rather than in my arms or in the sling) so I should be able to do just a little bit of spinning or knitting at some point soon.

Night Sky
I've been doing some spinning over the past couple of weeks, inspired by some of the lovely Hello Yarn club fibre which has been arriving every month. This is "Night SKy", a lovely soft superwash BFL. I have 256m of 2 ply, so it's sort of DK ish weight. I'm wondering about making a stacked eyelet cowl with it, as I think that would show off the lovely colours in the yarn.
In other knitting news, I'm back working on my Copper Oxide socks. I'm finding going a lot easier since last time I tried- my knitting is obviously improving! I'd like to get this sock finished reasonably soon so that I can use the needles to make the second Nutkin sock, which is a much faster and easier knit.

FO: BSJ for Baby Barker
I've finished the Baby Surprise Jacket for my baby. I've knitted a size that I've guestimated will fit the baby in the winter, but we'll have to see how he/she grows first!
The yarn is mostly 3ply superwash merino by Hello Yarn, as well as a stripe of 2ply Manx Loaghtan, and spun on my Schacht Ladybug wheel. The buttons were made for me by a local woodturner, and I think that they're perfect for this project.
I'm not sure what to knit next. I have a terribly complicated sock project which has been zzzzz for ages- my knitting has improved so much since I last did anything on that project that I think I might be able to cope better with the compex charts. On the other hand, I do have a good case of baby brain at the moment, so it could all go horribly wrong. I can't spindle at the moment (too much bending over!) but the wheel is ok, so I might just have to stick to spinning until I make up my mind.

BSJ for Baby Barker
I'm knitting a little baby surprise jacket for Baby Barker, made from my own handspun. The fibre was Hello Yarn's superwash merino in "Peat", which I spun into a 3ply DK weight. This was my first go at a three ply and I love how it turned out. The superwash aspect not only makes it really soft for next to baby's skin, but also means that it'll be able to go in the wash! I'm knitting it on reasonably small needles as I wanted the fabric to be quite thick, but it's still quite soft and flexible.
Monday, 18 May 2009
Peat Three Ply
Russ bought me two more bobbins for the Ladybug for my birthday, so I've finally been able to make a "real" three ply instead of a navajo ply. As much as I love the navajo ply (no waste!) there's something slightly different about plying with three separate threads.
This yarn is 226m and 117g of superwash merino loveliness, hand dyed by Hello Yarn. The superwash process does make the fibre very soft, and I've ended up with a gorgeous bouncy DK weight, perfect for a BSJ.
I don't have any projects on the wheel or spindle at the moment. I shall take some spindle projects away with me over half term- perhaps some organic merino that I bought recently. I'd like to do more silk on the spindles too. Theoretically I *could* take me wheel away now that we've got a bigger car, but that might be taking it just a tad too far!

Peacock Feathers Shawl
I finally managed to photograph my Peacock Feather Shawl. See my Flickr photostream for loads more photos, or there's a set showing the whole process from start to finish.
I finished the moebius stript cowl, and although I love the texture of the knitted fabric, the finished article doesn't really do anything for me. It was a worthy experiment though, so I'm going to knit the Thrive coils into a long, thin scarf, using the enormous 15mm needles.
I've been busy spinning using my Bosworth spindle and some of Megan's shetland/silk fibre. I've finished plying it today, using my Sublime Spindles bottom whorl. I'm thinking it'll be good for our section of the 6 Guilds exhibition which is happening at some point soon. Our guild has to produce a load of purple things, and this fibre will be great for that. I might see if I can get someone at guild to weave with it.

More coils...
I think I might be slightly obsessed with coils. After spinning lots of fine yarns in the past few months I'm really enjoying the practically instant gratification of a coiled yarn. This lot is made from Spunky Eclectic bfl in "Thermograph", as well as a silver viscose/metallic thread as the core. I'm going to be experimenting with other core threads soon. Anyway, this lot of coils is going to be a trial run for a slouchy mobius cowl, which I'll hopefully then be making with my "Thrive" coils. I've bought 15mm ends for my denise needles and a huge circular extension so that I can make the mobius strip using Cat Bordhi's excellent cast on technique.

You might want to try one of the kernels from ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/test.

The Gateway Arch...On the Spectrum
By TouchPoint Autism Services St. Louis is home to one of the most intriguing monuments in the world--the Gateway Arch. It is a unique visual and sensory experience…but for those individuals on the autism spectrum, it can be an experience filled with potential challenges. TouchPoint Autism Services Aaron Likens, author of Finding Kansas and autism awareness advocate for TouchPoint Autism Services, recently visited the Gateway Arch. As an individual who has aspergers syndrome - a milder form of autism - Aaron provided first-hand observations about what those on the autism spectrum can expect during a visit to this National treasure. Walking toward the Arch, one cannot help but notice how its form appears to shift, even with the smallest step in any direction. While this was part of Eero Saarinen's intent, it can also be perilous to those who don't take time to watch where they are walking. NPS Photo Security is the first step to entering the Arch and its museum. Regarding this part of the process, Aaron explains, "It isn't as bad as airport security…but if one isn't prepared, it can be stressful." If you are visiting the Arch with a child on the spectrum, make sure to take all metal objects out of his pockets and alert him to the possibility of a buzzer going off or even the potential need for him to be scanned with the wand. Once you and your child have cleared security, you're ready to see the Arch! "The main hall of the Arch is an awesome sight, but at the same time, it can be a bit much as there is so much to see," observes Aaron.With the ticket counter one side, museum, exhibits on the other and the tram in front, be aware that an individual with autism will have a lot of information to take in all at once upon entering the facility. One of the most exciting but potentially frightening experiences at the Arch for an individual with autism may be the tram ride to the top. "Being in the tram can be a rough experience as there isn't much room in each car. It was a little disconcerting at the beginning…as the tram swings from side to side. There are also some raspy noises, but this is normal."NPS Photo For those who have concerns about the ride to the top, there is a test tram in the lobby where visitors can experience the small quarters of the tram cars before going to the top. Those with family members on the spectrum as well as those who are claustrophobic would be well-served to spend some time in the test tram car prior to the ride to the top. TouchPoint Autism Services Once at the top of the Arch, you will be treated to a panoramic view of downtown St. Louis! Aaron cautions, "The first thing I noticed before seeing the amazing view is that I needed to get my footing set…I was always standing on an incline or decline." There is no level ground at the top of the Arch and for those who are hyper-alert to sensory experience, as many individuals with autism are, this can be either exhilarating or frightening. Another consideration at the top of the Arch is that it can be very crowded. Aaron observed, "the sound of people talking echoed around and seemed to be amplified. I could take it for awhile, but it got more and more crowded…one can't leave whenever one wants because the trams only leave every 10 minutes." For Aaron, the most difficult part of the Arch experience was waiting for the tram ride back to ground level. "The hardest part of the journey for me was standing on the stairs in a confined space waiting for the next car. Personal space was almost non-existent." Be aware that if you are visiting the Arch with an individual with autism who finds confined space and crowds difficult to handle, you should probably carefully consider how the stressors Aaron observed will impact the experience for the individual.NPS Photo Once back at ground level, Aaron viewed the movie, Lewis and Clark which is shown throughout the day in the museum's Odyssey Theater. While most people will find the four story screen and THX surround sound thrilling, individuals on the spectrum may find it too stimulating. "There were times when the film showed the point of view of a bird flying over the mountains. But for me, the hardest part was when a Native American tribe was playing drums as I have a sensory issue with them (drums)." Be aware that it is a dramatic, loud and visually stimulating film NPS Photo After the film, Aaron took a tour of the museum, filled with animals and talking exhibits.Regarding the speaking mannequins Aaron said, "I could have quite easily been transfixed by them, but others might find them scary." He also observed that while the animals on display may fascinate some, they may also frighten others. NPS Photo Throughout the museum are exhibits which may be tempting to touch.Please remember to keep an eye on children as well as individuals with autism and remind them to enjoy the museum…but don't touch!
As a resident of St. Louis, Aaron has a great appreciation for the Arch and what a privilege it is to have such an important piece of American history in his own backyard."A trip to the Gateway Arch is an event that a person can remember forever.I remember my first trip when I was 8 years old and I remember it for all the right reasons.I hope that all who visit the Arch have an amazing time, enjoy the view and take home a little knowledge about what the Arch represents to St. Louis and our Nation."
Special thanks to Joseph and Julie Devoti for participating in the photo essay accompanying this article. |

THE GURU is a fluffy confection that mixes the exuberance of Bollywood with measured lunacy of 30s screwball comedies and adds just a dash of "The Joy of Sex" to leaven the mixture with a millennial sensibility.
Our hero is Ramu, an Indian dance teacher who was marked as a child by seeing John Travolta in GREASE. Not for him the hyperbolic excesses of Bollywood production numbers. For him, it's
The vagaries of classified advertising jargon lead him to the producer of porno flicks, while the economic necessities of life without the American Dream lead him to work as a waiter in an Indian restaurant. In a strange, synchronistic turn of events, the combination leads him to the brink of having it all. On the set of the porno, he meets Sharonna, his marriage-minded co-star whose take on sexuality has a decidedly spiritual cast. While trying to put him at ease so that he can, ahem, perform, she shares some pearls of wisdom that fail to do the trick, as it were. But later, when working at a swank party at an even swankier townhouse, he's forced to step in after the guru hired for the evening's entertainment falls victim to spirits from a bottle rather than from above. With all eyes on him, Ramu does some quick thinking, repeats what Sharonna told him, and then leads the group in a spirited, curry-flavor Macarena. Presto! He's the Guru of Sex leading a new New Age movement. one that's carried along by the money-to-burn rich with time one their hands and hole where their inner lives should be.
Unfortunately, he has to keep returning to Sharonna for sexual enlightenment to pass along to his own disciples and he can't let her know what it's for, because he's promised he won't tell anyone else. It's a little clunky as a plot device, but it does lead to nude meditation, further adventures on porn sets, and an unexpectedly tender romance, plus the sort of hellzapopping situations that just get more absurd, but no less funny, as the film progresses.
From here the film could have continued along with it light-hearted look at the foibles of the rich, but it does something very interesting. While never losing its light touch, it takes these rich but sad people and, instead of making sport of them, shows a knowing compassion. This is particularly true of Lexi, the spoiled rich heiress whose search for fulfillment has cut a wide swath through Bloomingdale's and rock stars. In a nice bit of balanced writing Tracey Jackson and direction Daisy van Scherler Mayer, she's funny but her quest is anything but. Marisa Tomei plays her with an eager desperation, whether complaining that her mother didn't get her a Tibetan Rimpoche for her birthday, or reading astral implications into her spirited seduction of Ramu's guru incarnation.
Mistry is perfect as Ramu, the libidinous Candide who fails ever upward in pursuit of the Amercian Dream. You don't doubt for a minute that he hasn't an inkling of what sort of film he's auditioning for, even when sleazy producer Michael McKean asks to see his baloney pony. And you don't doubt that he's game when he finds out on the set what exactly McKean was talking about. Heather Graham as Sharona is dreamy herself, with a wholesome sexiness that would almost be at home on
THE GURU is kitchy, sweet, and a whole lot of fun as it careens along. It folds in some smarts in amongst the laughs with some trenchant swipes at the spiritual chic trends that promise enlightenment if you have an hour to spare and the cash up front. You'll laugh a lot and you might even nourish your soul. Besides, where else can you see songs from GREASE done with the full Bollywood treatment?

This was our ninth season to camp at Falcon Meadow Campground. We're usually there from April to November but this year stayed until December. We always enjoy our stay. The owners and all their employees are fantastic! A prior post mentioned hundreds of rabbits - quite an exaggeration. There are bunnies (and other neat wildlife) which we enjoy watching along with the diversity of birds in the campground. With the good rains this year there was also an abundance of wildflowers on the property from spring to fall. They did have some trouble with the wifi over the summer, but the owners went to great trouble and expense to install a new system which works just great. We're already looking forward to next April to return for our tenth year at this lovely little campground. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: December, 2014 - $19.00
At the park where we winter almost daily we throw something in the trash that will end up in a landfill and it reminds us that if we were at Falcon Meadow Campground many of these items would go in a recycle bin. In addition to the other reasons we love this campground, we wanted to give Falcon Meadow another thumbs up for their great recycle program!
We are looking forward to getting back there next month! We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $35.00
This is a very old RV park but it has its charm. The sites are mostly around a big circle and has a pretty easy drive thru and relatively level. Too near a noisy highway. Our biggest problem was the rabbits. Hundreds of them. We could not walk our dog without a major battle. All she wanted to do was pull to chase the bunnies. The staff are very friendly and helpful and even helped me get backed into a site when I was here alone. Showers were OK. Good water pressure and plenty of space. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: July, 2014 - $17.00
The rate is based on a monthly rate. I had a site close to the office but was never able to connect to Wi-Fi. The owners are very nice but this campground is in serious need of updating/ fixing. Most of the sites surround a common area with a dilapidated playground and an overgrown horseshoe pit. There were thistles growing all around the playground area--I was concerned the kids would get "stung" by that plant. There wasn't much grass--but a whole lot of weeds. It is teeming with rabbits which makes for a challenging walk with a dog. The water is very, very hard. Highway noise is constant. There were a lot of long term residents who have added fencing and other add ons to their RVs. I would not stay here again except as an overnight stop. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $25.00
Bares bones park close to Colorado Springs. Sites are dirt/gravel. Wi-fi was very slow, non-working at times. Water flow was sporadic and electric was good. This park is right next to a busy highway, but since all windows were closed not too bad. We have stayed in most of the parks in the Springs. The price for this park is very high for what you get, but it is convenient to the east side of C.S, so it is OK from that standpoint. RV parks are very limited in CS. This park is OK as a parking point. We would stay here again for convenience. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $20.00
This is a very old park like 53 years old and lots of the park is showing it's age. Restrooms are very antiquated and need updating. One of the commodes in the men's restroom has been out of order since we got here 3 weeks ago. Water pressure is OK most of the time, but slows down in the evening. Voltage is very good. We are fortunate to have one of the best sites in the park. It is a perfectly level pull through. Some of the sites are really jammed together. We are here for another week and it has served us OK. Management is very friendly and they have a nice little convenience store on site and other shopping including a fairly new Walmart Supercenter is within 2 miles. We probably won't come back in the area, but if we did, we would probably look elsewhere. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: June, 2013 - $35.00
Nice campground on the west side of Colorado Springs. Quite a few long term and/or seasonal residents, but good pull through and back in sites were still available. You are close to your neighbors, but no problems getting your slides out. Campground WiFi was good and our Verizon card worked fairly well. Good views of Pikes Peak from some sites. The biggest drawback, and the reason I'm rating them lower, was the water, which was still muddy/murky looking after running through our water filter. Not sure what their water issue is, but it does deserve attention from the campground owners. Only 3 miles to a large shopping center with a super WalMart. No discounts offered, so we paid the daily rate for 3 nights. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: June, 2013 - $35.00
Up until last week, we have used this campground for our RV propane fills. We live within 4 miles of this RV park. Unfortunately, we were evacuated from the Black Forest Fire...and are still are. They got us in, gave us a great 50 amp spot with plenty of parking, right next to the playground, which was great for our 6 year old. Our family has been to a lot of RV parks, and I have to say, I have never met a friendlier staff than here. They have gone out of their way to make our stay wonderful, given the dire circumstances when we arrived. I have spoken to other campers who were here with our same situation, and their experience was exactly the same as ours. They also have accommodated our schedule, which has been extended, considering we are still evacuated and aren't really sure when we can get home. Sites and restrooms are clean and are within quick walking distance from any site. No issues with water pressure or WI-FI access. Cell phone service is available from this campground (3G, 4G, 4G LTE were picked up from our iPads). Some sites have shade trees and some do not. Thanks to the host for your wonderful service to us evacuees! We really appreciate it and will not forget. This review is the least we can do. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: December, 2012 - $33.00
For camping in December, this is a 10! The greeting was extremely friendly. I was asked of my plans in case I was needing directions or assistance. They escorted to my site and made sure my full hook-ups were to my satisfaction before they departed. That's service! My site was level and had easy access. My view was spectacular, the Wi-Fi was strong and I wasn't ever bumped off. The shop was a gem! Saved me from going to a grocery store. I also found some fun souvenirs. It's easy to overshoot their driveway, so be sure to slow down as you're approaching it on US24. Was very pleased to be able to fill up with LP before leaving (didn't need fuel, but they have pumps for that, too). We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2012 - $37.00
My recommendation here is to call ahead and be really friendly with the staff. We called ahead and got a spot for three nights, looking right across the valley at Pike's Peak. Absolutely stunning views. Pronghorn deer were everywhere, rabbits in the park. The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 is that the WiFi didn't work for us. I assume it was because we were at the far end of the park. That doesn't matter for us as we use our Verizon Hotspot. Laundry facilities were good, dryers were a little slow. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: September, 2012 - $33.00
We are repeat customers. Friendly & helpful staff make us feel welcome. We feel safe and comfortable. Basic (mostly) quiet, older, park. Just east of Colorado Springs. Some shade trees. In our opinion, this is the cleanest, safest park around until you get to the West side of Colorado Springs near the front range. We find the location great. We arrive, set up, spend our days in town. When we leave we are already near I24 and don't have to fight traffic to head back East. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: June, 2012 - $29.00
We stayed here because the reviews were fairly good. It is a nice park but could use some TLC for sure. It is small, only 35 spaces, but the grass is overgrown and the park is dusty. The internal roads are a mixture of gravel and dirt. There are also some rigs there that seem to stay permanently. The park is about 30 minutes from Colorado Springs.The sites were nice, most are pull-through. They claim they have Wi-Fi access but the signal at our site was almost non-existent. Our Verizon PC card worked just fine, though. Each site had a picnic table and two very nice old fashioned wooden lawn chairs. Very comfortable! Our site was on the outer edge facing Pikes Peak, many miles away, but it was nice sitting outside with a glass of wine enjoying the scenery. Would we stay here again? Probably yes but maybe not. We did see other campgrounds in the Colorado Springs area that many looked worse and only a couple looked better. They could do a better job of providing information when you check in. My wife went to the office to check us in, upon arrival, and all she got was a site number to "remember" and that's it. No park map, no instructions and no information on the surrounding area, nothing. The guy just old her "Drive to the back road, you will see a site number, that's yours!" We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: June, 2012 - $33.00
We stayed 1 night and it was fine. Everything worked. Our site was a back-in, level gravel site with a great view of Pikes Peak. The back-in was a little challenging but the owner helped us get it in. The rest room and shower was old but clean, but in the building away from the main office, there was only 1 men's and 1 women's. Some of the long term rigs look a little shabby, but don't be put off by that. The staff was great. They brought us a 2nd adirondack chair without our even asking. The store is great. There is a gas station attached but it does not sell diesel. Diesel is available a mile away. We would stay again. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: February, 2012 - $29.00
This is an excellent park. From the road it doesn't look like much, but it has clean restrooms,hot showers, great little laundry room and wonderful staff. The owners have been there for over 50 years, they are decent, fair, no-nonsense folks. There is a gas station & convenience store which carries a little bit of everything. Wireless internet can be spotty at times but works well. There is a great dog run area and trail that takes you to the Walmart and other stores in town. Great view of Pikes peak. Even though it is next to hwy 24 the noise is minimal. This has been one of the nicest surprises I've had in a while. There are a few long term residents but they are quite and keep to themselves, your privacy is respected. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: May, 2011 - $29.00
This is a very nice quiet campground which is family owned. They were very helpful throughout our stay. There is a nice playground for the kids in the center of the park. It is a rustic park with gravel roads and sites. We had a pull through site that paralleled the interior road with plenty of room for our 40 foot rig. I would have given it a 10, but the bathrooms are dated and the entrance is a little tight coming off a busy Hwy 24. We would stay here again. We camped at Falcon Meadow Campground in a Motorhome.

HELLO! Fashion, fashion and lifestyle magazine
Cheryl Cole looks red hot as Dannii hits all the right notes in Victoria Beckham
Another week and a hot new look for X Factor judge Cheryl Cole.
The 27-year-old singer has vamped up her image with a dramatic red hairdo which she debuted on the reality show at the weekend.
Perhaps not wanting to take the focus away from her new locks, Cheryl kept it simple in a black Azzaro jumpsuit and Miu Miu heels for the Saturday night show.
And on Sunday, she bared a bit more it a black satin mini dress with a peephole neckline (pictured).

Her revamped hair certainly seems to have gone down well with her fans.
Amanda Holden revealed on Twitter that her daughter approves, because she thinks Cheryl now looks like The Little Mermaid - "Lexi likes Cheryl's hair! She says she looks like Ariel," the 39-year-old actress said.
Perhaps Cheryl's red hot hair is her way of signalling a fresh start. It is being reported that her lawyers will apply for a decree absolute on Monday, after Cheryl's decree nisi was granted six weeks ago.
Friends of the star have said that the new colour is her way of marking the occasion and telling the world: "I'm back".
Meanwhile, in the annual X Factor style battle, Cheryl is facing big competition from Aussie beauty Dannii.
It seems the mum-of-one, who will turn 39 on Wednesday, is edging ahead with her sartorial selections – particularly after wearing a Victoria Beckham design on Saturday's live show.
Dannii was labelled as "beautiful" by the designer herself, who famously wore the asymmetrical column dress to the Oscars in March.
Writing on Twitter after the show, fashion-following Dannii wrote: "I am loving the Victoria Beckham dress tonight – it feels beautiful on".
And Victoria seemed to approve, writing on her page: "Dannii Minogue looked so beautiful in Victoria Beckham last night."
On Sunday night, the Australian personality, who has also turned her hand to design, dressed to impress in a figure-hugging Antonio Beradi creation paired with simple nude heels.

I got a Mac Mini(DVI) and a laptop(VGA) sharing same LCD monitor. When using Mac, I need to unplug VGA on the monitor and plug DVI back, vise versa. It's inconvenient to plug/unplug the cable on the back of monitor. Is there any way to make this process easier like some kind of switch?
Take the 2-minute tour
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
What type of monitor do you have? One of the main reasons I bought my Dell display is that it has both DVI and VGA inputs. I just plug each computer into one of the inputs, and the button on the front of the display switches between the two (it's also got S-Video, composite, and component, although I've never needed those). Any chance yours has any additional inputs besides DVI? |
A KVM switch perhaps? You can use a VGA to DVI adapter with this switch and it will work fine. I have 2 of these (the 4 port versions actually) and they work great. EDIT: Here is an even better KVM solution for your purpose since you are using laptops. This KVM switch has a push button for machine selection so you wouldn't need to plug any keyboard into it at all. |

Flemington, NJ, August 7, 2009 – A new national media study among 307 viewers of a video regarding the recent cookie controversy involving Wal-Mart and the Girl Scouts of America revealed that the majority of Girl Scout parents (58%) have a more negative perception of Wal-Mart after watching the news clip.
The study was conducted by HCD Research using its MediaCurves.com® website on August 6, to obtain viewers' perceptions of a news clip featuring the recent cookie conflict between Wal-Mart and the Girl Scouts of America.
The study also revealed that an overwhelming majority of Girl Scout parents (96%) are Wal-Mart shoppers, with 54% reporting that they are frequent shoppers and 42% reporting that they are occasional Wal-Mart shoppers. More than one-third of these parents (35%) also reported that they are now less likely to shop at Wal-Mart stores after learning of the Girl Scout cookie controversy.

Chance and Chaos |
How do scientists look at chance, or randomness, and chaos in physical systems? In answering this question for a general audience, Ruelle writes in the best French tradition: he has produced an authoritative and elegant book--a model of clarity, succinctness, and a humor bordering at times on the sardonic. "Step by step, Mr. Ruelle introduces concepts needed to understand the physical landscape of chance and chaos, explaining the meaning of probability, the ways of turbulent fluids, and the mathematical value of information. . . . Throughout, Chance and Chaos is spiced with the author's dry wit and unsparing judgments about scientists and science. . . . [This is] an expertly guided tour of some of the fundamental issues in the world of physics."--David Voss, The New York Times Book Review ". . . by one of the founders of the rapidly developing field of nonlinear dynamics and chaos. . . . The book is a tour de force."--Malcolm S. Longair, Natural History "Sets out the basics with precision, concision, and humor. . . . [Some books], perhaps the best books, are to be read for the pleasure of the author's company. Ruelle's book falls into [that] category."--Tony Rothman, The New Republic "The book is an excellent read, either at one gulp or as chapter-by-chapter snacks."--Robert M. May, Nature "A deep, thoughtful book, simply written, and a joy to read."--Ian Stewart, The Times Higher Education Supplement This book has been translated into:

An all fiber, widely tunable, single-frequency, erbium-doped fiber ring laser was constructed with a threshold pump power as low as 10 mW. Tuning over more than 30 nm was obtained by applying 0 to 17 dc V to an intracavity fiber Fabry–Perot filter. Threshold pump power versus wavelength data showed low variation over the tuning range. Mode hopping suppression with a tandem fiber Fabry–Perot filter is proposed and demonstrated. Stable single-frequency operation was demonstrated with side mode suppression higher than 35 dB.

Online games are a big market and a successful business model, says industry-insider Manish Agarwal
The trend of online gaming picked up roughly around 2004-2005 as a result of Internet growth. First the e-mail service revolutionised the world and then came the search engine followed by social networking. In that order, gaming was the next thing to happen.
The factors that helped online gaming grow were: a majority of Internet users were youngsters, increased interaction with the western world, the access "whenever-whatever-wherever" nature of online games and the proven success of online gaming as a viable business model by some Asian countries. The advantage of online gaming as a business comes from the fact that the time spent by the user in a gaming site is more.
Zapak.com attracts up to 200,000unique users a day across PC and mobiles, with the 2000 free web games and 500 free mobile games. Most users are in the age bracket of 13 to 25 years. Further dissecting the user profile, about 75 per cent are male. This is a reflection of Internet usage itself, not just online gaming. As far as gaming is concerned, in the West, the ratio of men:women stands at 55:45.
In India too there is a large growth in the female audience but the types of games they play are different. It is usually non-collaborative and non-action games.
The need to showcase and share one's success, prompted by social networking sites, has rubbed off on gaming too. Games in social networking sites like Facebook are the biggest thing to happen to the online gaming industry. Social gaming has given a new flip to casual gaming.
Coming to the quality of graphics and gameplay, one needs to understand that most online gamers are casual; they play a game and move on. Serious gamers are more engaged and controlled.
Most online games are free or are inexpensive. So, accordingly, the investment in developing such games is less. But with the advent of smartphones and tablets, that are getting smarter and more powerful, game development studios are giving more importance to the quality and design now.
Manish Agarwal is the CEO of Reliance Entertainment Digital, the parent company of Zapak and Jump Games.

The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, known as the San Diego Wild Animal Park until 2010, is an 1,800 acre (730 ha) zoo in the San Pasqual Valley area of San Diego, California, near Escondido. It is one of the largest tourist attractions in San Diego County. The park houses a large array of wild and endangered animals including species from the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia. The park is in a semi-arid environment, and one of its most notable features is the Africa Tram which explores the expansive African exhibits. These free-range enclosures house such animals as antelopes, giraffes, buffalo, cranes, and rhinoceros. The park is also noted for its California condor breeding program, the most successful such program in the United States.
The park, visited by 2 million people annually, houses over 2,600 animals representing more than 300 species, as well as 3,500 plant species.[4]
Depending on the season, the park has about 400 to 600 employees. The park is also Southern California's quarantine center for zoo animals imported into the United States through San Diego.
The park has the world's largest veterinary hospital. Next door to the hospital is the Institute for Conservation Research which holds the park's Frozen Zoo.
Both the park and the San Diego Zoo are run by the Zoological Society of San Diego. The park is 32 miles (51 km) away from the zoo, at 15500 San Pasqual Valley Road east of Escondido, California, along California State Route 78. Although the park is primarily within the San Diego city limits,[6] it has an Escondido address.[3]
The San Diego Zoological Society became interested in developing the Wild Animal Park in 1964. The idea of the park began as a supplementary breeding facility for the San Diego Zoo, which would allow ample space for large animals and ungulates.
The development proposed would differ significantly from that of a typical zoo in that animals would be exhibited in a natural environment rather than in cages. In 1964, the park was assessed financially and then moved onto the next phase; this resulted in three alternative developments. There was an idea for a conservation farm, a game preserve, and a natural environment zoo. The natural environment zoo development was chosen over the conservation farm and game preserve even though it was the most expensive option. The estimated initial cost was $1,755,430.[7]
The main purposes of this zoo were to be species conservation, breeding of animals for the San Diego Zoo as well as other zoos and providing areas where zoo animals could be conditioned. When it came to naming the park, five titles were considered: San Diego Animal Land, San Diego Safari Land, San Diego Wild Animal Safari, San Diego Wildlife Park and San Diego Wild Animal Park.[7]
The scheduled opening day of the park was set for April 1, 1972; however, the gates did not open until Wednesday May 10, 1972.[7] The general layout of the park, designed by Charles Faust, included a large lagoon with a jungle plaza, an African fishing village, an aviary at the entrance of the park and approximately 50,000 plants were to be included in the landscaping.[7] Although the park was scheduled to open in three years from the time of the groundbreaking, the total development of the park was estimated to take ten years.
The first two animals to arrive at the park were the Nilgai, an antelope from the plains of North India, and the black and white striped Grant's zebra, a zebra native to East Africa.[7]
In the summer of 2003, the San Diego Zoological Society and Lowry Park Zoo orchestrated the capture of 11 wild African elephants from the Hlane Royal National Park in Swaziland. The zoos said the animals were scheduled to be killed due to overpopulation.[8] However, In Defense of Animals disputes this, claiming that new fencing costing many times less than the capture and transport would have ended the need to remove any elephants from Swaziland, and that the Save Wild Elephants Coalition reported that there were three other sanctuaries in Africa that had offered to take the elephants.[9]
Seven of these elephants are now at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park,[8] and cumulatively they have produced thirteen babies as of 2013.[10][11] In March 2012 five elephants were moved to the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Arizona, to form a new herd. A bull elephant, two cows, and two baby bulls were moved and in return two cow elephants that had been together for years, Connie an Asian elephant and Shaba an African elephant, were sent to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.[12] Connie died from cancer in July 2012 just five months after the move. Shaba was slowly introduced into the herd in February 2013.[13]
The California wildfires of October 2007 that officially started on October 21, 2007, burned 600 acres (2.4 km2) of native habitat preserved in the park and caused it to temporarily close. The park also moved many of their endangered animals out of danger. The fire did not reach any of the main enclosures and no animals were killed directly by the fire, although deaths of a clapper rail and kiang were attributed to indirect effects of the blaze.
On June 30, 2010 the San Diego Zoo Board of Trustees voted to change the name of the park to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.[14]
Exhibits and attractions[edit]
Asian Savanna and African Plains[edit]
The park's largest exhibits, covering over 300 acres (120 ha),[15] are the open-range enclosures. Visitors view various plains habitats from Africa and Asia. Asian Savanna covers 60 acres (24 ha) and displays Indian rhinoceros and several species of Asian deer and antelope such as axis deer and wapiti.[15] African Plains represents many regions and habitats. East Africa displays Cape buffalo, southern white rhinoceros, Ugandan giraffe, several other savanna species, and a lagoon with East African crowned crane[15] The North Africa exhibit represents the Sahel and Sahara and houses scimitar-horned oryx, Barbary stag, red-fronted gazelle, and Ankole cattle.[15] The Southern Africa field exhibits Grevy's zebras.[16] The Central Africa region features a wooded waterhole with an island for pink-backed pelicans, saddle-billed storks, and Rüppell's vultures. On the shores of the lake are bongos, red river hogs, and Vaal rheboks, and other forest animals.[16] A number of smaller enclosures visible only from the tram are home to Somali wild asses, kiangs (one of the world's only captive populations of this endangered wild equine)[citation needed], Arabian oryx, gorals, Japanese serows, black rhinoceroses, and Przewalski's wild horses.
Species of note in the open enclosures include two subspecies of giraffe, rhinos (the park has the world's most successful breeding program for southern white rhinos[citation needed] and is the only New World zoo to have northern white rhinos), gaur, vultures, markhor, and many species of antelope, gazelle, and deer.
Tiger Trail[edit]
The tigers have three different exhibits, and there is a glass viewing window for visitors.[17][18] After raising $19.6 million for the new exhibit ground was broken on December 12, 2012. The new exhibit is named the Tull Family Tiger Trail after movie producer Thomas Tull and his wife.[19] Tiger Trail opened May 24, 2014.
Nairobi Village and Gorilla Forest[edit]
The park's Nairobi Village houses numerous exhibits for smaller animals. Among these are meerkats, an African Aviary, lemurs, flamingos, red river hogs, and bee eaters.[20] A large lagoon is home to numerous species of waterfowl such as shoebill storks.[20] Lorikeet Landing and Hidden Jungle display feedable Lories and lorikeets, and African birds, respectively. There is a nursery where visitors can watch baby animals being hand-reared as well as a nearby petting corral.[20] Finally, a gorilla habitat houses a troop of western lowland gorillas.[20] A flying fox bat exhibit is scheduled to be built here.
Hidden Jungle[edit]
Located in Nairobi Village, this climate-controlled indoor exhibit opened in 1993[21] and displays tropical African birds and insects.[22] The entrance to the building is a simulated earthen crevasse with displays for stick insects and arachnids.[21] The underground segment opens up to a room representing the rainforest understory, which leads to a second room representing the canopy. On display are long-tailed paradise whydah, purple grenadier, and other birds.[22]
Hidden Jungle is the setting of the annual Butterfly Jungle event.[22]
Lion Camp[edit]
Opened in October 2004, Lion camp houses the park's thirteen African lions in a 1-acre (0.40 ha) exhibit.[23] One side of the enclosure is dominated by an artificial rock kopje which has a 40-foot-long (12 m) glass viewing window and heated rocks.[23] The path continues along an acacia-studded ravine and leads to a replica observation tent. This has a smaller viewing window as well as a Land Rover for the lions to rest on.
Condor Ridge[edit]
Condor Ridge displays endangered North American desert wildlife.[24] The featured species are California condors[24] (the Wild Animal Park was the key force in the recovery effort for these birds and this is one of the only places in the world where the public can see them in captivity) and desert bighorn sheep.[24] Other species displayed include aplomado falcons, thick-billed parrots, prairie dogs, black footed ferrets, magpies, and desert tortoises.[24]
African Woods and African Outpost[edit]
Formerly known as Heart of Africa, these are two of the park's major exhibits. Visitors go down a trail which replicates habitats in Africa. The exhibit begins in African Woods with scrub animals - vultures, lesser kudu, and giant eland. It then progresses to forest (okapi, duikers, and wattled cranes). The path then leads to African Outpost, which features plains animals - bontebok, common warthogs, ground hornbills, and cheetahs - against a backdrop of the open-range East Africa exhibit. A central lagoon has lesser and greater flamingos, waterfowl, an island with colobus monkeys, and an interpretive research camp on a separate island.
Tours and Rides[edit]
The park formerly operated a monorail line, the Wgasa Bush Line, which ran through the Wild Animal Park. The name of the monorail was chosen by chief designer Chuck Faust.
The Monorail line has been retired, partially due to high maintenance costs, and in March 2007 the Journey into Africa attraction, now renamed Africa Tram, opened. The Africa Tram tour brings visitors to the field exhibits to see wildlife from different parts of Africa. In addition, another route is planned to bring visitors through the Asian field exhibits and into eight new ones that will house a variety of African animals from rock hyrax to Hartmann's mountain zebras. The tour utilizes a wheeled tram that runs on biofuel instead of a monorail.
As well as the tram, the park has also added a tethered balloon ride that allows visitors to see the plains exhibits from 400 feet (120 m) in the air.[25] The balloon ride is not included in the entrance fee.
The park also has extensive botanical gardens, many of which are their own attractions separate from the animal exhibits.
The Safari Park was a major factor in the recovery of the California condor. Beginning in 1980, it worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Los Angeles Zoo to start a captive breeding program.[26] The last 22 condors were taken into captivity in 1987[26] To breed the condors quickly, the Safari Park would remove the eggs from the nests to induce the females to lay a second egg.[26][27] The removed egg hatches in an incubator and is raised with a condor handpuppet to prevent human imprinting, while the second egg is raised by its parents.[26][27] Captive-bred condors were reintroduced into the wild beginning in 1992, and today their population is 369, with 191 in the wild as of March 2011.[26]
On December 14, 2014, Angalifu, a 44-year-old male northern white rhinoceros, died at the park. This leaves only five northern white rhinos left in the world, including one female at the Safari Park.[28]

Press Release Archive
Released: Thursday, March 12, 2009
The Conference Board Leading Economic Index™ (LEI) for the U.K. declined 0.4 percent in January to 93.1 (2004 = 100), following a 0.7 percent fall in December and a 1.2 percent drop in November. Consumer confidence, volume of expected output and order book volume continued to make negative contributions to the index, more than offsetting a positive contribution from the yield spread.
Download a PDF of the technical notes for underlying detail, diffusion indexes, components, contributions and graphs.
Download a PDF of the press release with graph and summary table.
The Conference Board LEI for the U.K. has been declining for a year and a half. The combination of the duration, depth and diffusion of the decline has not been this severe since the recession in the early 1980s. At the same time, The Conference Board Coincident Economic Index™ (CEI) for the U.K., a measure of current economic activity, declined 0.1 percent in January, following a 0.1 percent increase in December and a 0.2 percent decline in November. The CEI now stands at 103.7 (2004 = 100).
Said Jean-Claude Manini, The Conference Board Senior Economist for Europe: "The massive and unprecedented measures taken by the British authorities to ease credit conditions and support demand may kick in at the end of 2009 and early 2010, but uncertainty about future economic conditions remains high and the balance of risk is tilted down. Moreover, The Conference Board Leading Economic Index™ (LEI) for the United Kingdom does not provide any recovery signal. Including its decrease of 0.4 percent in January 2009, the index has dropped more than 10.0 percent since its most recent peak in June 2007, which is worse than its 2000 and 1998 falls."
The Conference Board LEI for the U.K. aggregates seven economic indicators that measure activity in the U.K., each of which has proven accurate on its own. Aggregating individual indicators into a composite index filters out so-called "noise" to show underlying trends more clearly.
Plotted back to 1970, this index has successfully signaled turning points in the U.K. business cycles. The Conference Board currently produces leading economic indexes for the Euro Area and eight other individual countries, including the U.S., Germany, France, Spain, Japan, Australia, Korea and Mexico.

Thousands of men left a poor county in southern China to seek fortunes as gold miners in Africa -- but their families are terrified after deadly clashes and arrests forced many to go into hiding. Men from Shanglin began traveling to Ghana around a decade ago, after mastering mining technology in the 1990s while pioneering the exploitation of gold reserves in China's cold northeast.
