MIAMI, FLORIDA -- On May 12th, I placed an order with TigerDirect.com for a refurbished printer, a refurbished MP3 player, A Micro SD card with adapter and a cable (USB) for the printer. I received shipping notification the next day, with a total of three Tracking Numbers for UPS. Although it seemed a bit odd to me that TigerDirect would ship two separate 1 lb boxes for a small MP3 player, 6-foot printer cable and Micro SD card with adapter.
Now comes the part where things really get interesting. On May 18th, I receive one large box, obviously containing the refurbished printer. I question the UPS Delivery man very closely, telling him I am expecting *multiple* boxes: one large and two small. The UPS man tells me there is only ONE package on the truck for me -- that he is certain of this. I ask again if he is quite sure there are no smaller boxes that might have been overlooked and he assures me that this is the only package for me that he has received.
He requests that I sign, which I do, thinking that perhaps the other items I'd ordered might have shipped separately and would arrive the next day, or may have been packed in with the printer. The first thing I do, before opening the printer box is to check the Shipped Order email -- and am quite astonished to find ONE tracking number has been applied to the ENTIRE order. I open the printer box and check everything very carefully. Contents are the printer, cartridges, phone cord and AC adapter, manual, software installation CD and packing materials. The other three items ordered which, with shipping, come to a total of about $50 US are nowhere to be found.
I immediately contact TigerDirect via telephone and speak with a tech named ** who tells me "UPS probably has the rest of your order, or there has been some sort of mix up". He sounds very nice, very helpful and tells me he is contacting "the Department which handles these things." I ask him how long it will be before the problem is resolved, as I need the cable in order to test or use the printer. He assures me that the matter will be investigated and I will be contacted "in three to five days".
I or my partner take turns watching for the UPS truck, which never arrives. I let a full week go by and contact ** at his extension. His attitude with me is now quite different. He takes a cavalier tone and tells me "UPS says they delivered your entire order." I tell him that I am not a liar and furthermore, that this does not appear to be the fault of UPS. I become less than friendly with him and inform him that I am sitting here with a printer that I am unable to use without the cable I paid for and never received.
The player and SD card were meant to be a gift for a friend's birthday -- which occurred five days ago. ** informs me he will "expedite" the process and is contacting the department "that handles these things." I ask ** if I might speak directly with someone in the department and am informed that "no one in the department speaks directly with the public."
I tell ** that I want an ETA for when I will be hearing back from TigerDirect and when my other merchandise will be received. He tells me he will call me back or I will be contacted in email. I ask him when I might expect that call or email. He tells me on Thursday or Friday, at the latest. I received neither. It is now early Monday morning (Memorial Day) and I sent complaint information to Tiger Direct when I sensed that ** was being less than honest with me.
I forwarded the Shipping email I'd received on May 13th and pointed out that two of the three tracking numbers not only indicated that some items had never left the warehouse, but somewhat mysteriously the tracking number associated with the printer would indicate (by weight) that one of the missing items would be the printer.
If I were a dishonest person, I'd tell them my printer had never been shipped -- the UPS tracking numbers indicate that Billing information had been received from the Shipper but what was associated with the tracking numbers never left Tiger Direct's warehouse.
I point this out clearly in my letter of complaint and sent a politely insulting letter inferring that I have received the entire shipment and am a liar and a thief. I send this letter back with comments requesting that someone with intelligence and logic actually track two of the three Tracking numbers, which *still* (now May 31st) indicate the remainder of my shipment is sitting in a warehouse. $50 may not seem like a lot of money, but when I order and a business takes my money, I expect them to ship my order rather than giving me a run-around. To date, I've received nothing but an auto-answer to the last email I sent.
The next step I'm taking is to contact the Florida BBB, who has had many complaints about Tiger Direct. And so, I urge the person who ordered two laptops and only received one to retrieve the original Order Shipment email and take a good look at the tracking numbers. This is Tiger Direct either being utterly inept or running a deliberate scam on consumers.
The UPS information is clear proof that it was not UPS who dropped the ball. One way or another, I will either get all of the merchandise I paid for, or TigerDirect will refund the balance of money owed to me. They have lied to me, cast doubt on my character, ignored my request to review and resolve the obvious problem caused by claiming to have shipped under three different tracking numbers while using only one and applying it to the entire order and failed to deliver on any of their "promises".
In any case, I used to think positively of TigerDirect, but now cannot recommend this company to *anyone* and, once this problem is resolved, will never order from them again. It is not such a bargain when you are ripped off for $50 or even $5.00, let alone hundreds of dollars. This company needs to be taken to task. I have kept my original "Shipped Order" email and downloaded all that data pertaining to the tracking numbers. Had I known what sort of questionable practices TigerDirect was known for, I would have refused delivery of the printer and demanded my entire order be fulfilled before signing off on *anything*.
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- I'm sorry, but have not had a very good buying experience on my first purchase from TigerDirect. I placed an online order for a digital clock on 8/4 was processed on 8/7 and shipped on 8/14, I know sometimes there is a lag in processing but 10 days after the order was placed. When the item arrived (8/20) 1. Was packed in a plastic shipping bag with no bubble pack around the item. 2. The digital read out was not working correctly (might be due to damaged box, so obviously banged around during shipping).
I reported this to TigerDirect that evening, had to wait till end of week for RMA #. Took some time off of work to send the faulty item back on 8/26 and the vendor received it on 9/3. I just sent an email to TigerDirect asking when they will ship my exchanged item. They did not give me an eta, at that point I requested a cancellation and credit back on my visa card this morning. Have not received any reply back, it is currently a month since I placed the order and the transaction has not been completed yet. So this little order which Amazon, Newegg and Rakuten would take care of in a matter of a week or two (ie: shipping and deal with a return).
They also ship the exchange with a return shipping label so you just put the faulty unit in the box and place the label on it and ship. TigerDirect, you have to wait for an RMA #, ship it back. Then wait till they receive, then they ship the exchange. Amazon, Newegg and Rakuten have nothing to worry about in regards to TigerDirect as a competitor. Speed of service is poor and customer service responds but really does nothing. Oh well live and learn, never again will I deal with this mom and pop shop.
Update: TigerDirect has just responded to my request to cancel the return/exchange and credit back to my visa card.
We are terribly sorry for the bad experience at our retail stores and would like to make this right for you. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com at your earliest convenience and we'll make sure you're satisfied with our service. Once again we do apologize for this experience.
FLORIDA -- Purchased 20 desktop machines in the last 3 years from TigerDirect. We gave over 10 references to other companies about their machines and in total gave them over $10,000 of business. I called today for the first time regarding 2 of my machines purchased 13 months ago together on the same order simply did not turn on because of some faulty equipment. We are a small company so calling tech support in the middle of your work day is not easy unless it's urgent. After 40 minutes on the phone with the support staff, I was transferred to **, the supervisor.
Simply put he said nothing personal but "we can't help you since you are calling 20 days after the warranty expired." I've been a customer for over 4 years now and always always purchased all my machines from them without promotions or coupons. I felt really hurt that companies like this exist where they would give a crap about customers. I told him "I will pay you money if that's what you need, because that's all you care about," and ** specifically said "No, it's not about the money".... at the end of the conversation, he told me the amount needed to charge and I told myself, it's always about the money for these crooked companies.
I told the supervisor that I will go out of my way to let the world know about this service and needless to say I regret purchasing every single piece of equipment from your company. I hope this complaint gets read by millions of people and hope this company goes under real soon. There is one unwritten rule in businesses, do not mess with die hard customers who will go out of their way for you and out of their way to not be with you.
After spending $36,000 at TigerDirect, giving them chance after chance, this time they really did it! I purchased 5 top of the line laptops this year alone. The last order before this one, a Toshiba at a cost of almost $2000. The laptop was a different model than I ordered, and came with a broken wireless network adapter. I am a computer engineer at the highest level so fortunately, I can diagnose my own problems. I also paid for a warranty that I never received, and after calling, they removed it from my invoice. My evidence is in my credit card statements.
The other day was my birthday and awaited delivery of the top configured Toshiba Qosmio (the 505-880 model) with a total price of $2100. The box came beat up, and when opened it was not wrapped like Toshiba typically does. I turned it on, and no setup or anything. I went to the log, and saw that Windows was already registered and had been getting regular updates for a year, and there were many boot failures dating back all the way to a year. I contacted TigerDirect and they hung up on me 3 times, and gave me a UPS return label to an address no longer in existence.
The one manager **, told me to never call back again, that I was not a Ph. D. in computer science, which I am, and they weren't going to give me my money back nor would they let me speak to the sales manager, ** (in charge of all other managers). After all the money I spent with them, I had never been so disrespected. I will be taking them to court in spite of if they refund my credit card. I contacted Microsoft and Toshiba, both in shock. They are a complete fraudulent company. Date of purchase 6/11/2010.
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- On December 13, 2005 I ordered a Western Digital hard drive for a total of $98.98. I paid using my PayPal account, and had them use my credit card. The hard drive was a Christmas present for my father. On December 17 I checked the status of the hard drive online, not having received any email about it shipping. The status was that it was backordered.
I called the 800 number given on the TigerDirect Website and waited in queue for 25 minutes before reaching someone. I was informed that the hard drive was expected at the end of the month. I cancelled the order and was told my money would be refunded immediately. (BTW, I got a Seagate hard drive from New Egg in time for Xmas. Love them.)
In the flurry before Christmas, I didn't pay attention to the refund from TigerDirect. After New Year's I turned my attention back to the everyday nitty gritty. Like prying my money out of TigerDirect. I called on Jan 3 to inquire about my refund. When you call the 800 number you reach their automated voice system. They never provide an option to speak to a real person. I experimented in trying to reach someone and found that if I say the words "talk to someone" you get put in queue. That day I was in queue for 20 minutes, then disconnected. I called back and hung in for 25 minutes to get to someone.
I was informed that my money was refunded on December 27 to PayPal. I had checked my PayPal account prior to my calling TigerDirect, nothing there. I've used PayPal for years and they've always performed transactions in almost real time. But I decided to call PayPal and check.
I call PayPal, and was told nothing was received from TigerDirect. They give me another number to call at Tiger, but it reaches the same voice system. This time I decide to use the ordering something option and see if I could get a real person sooner and take it from there. Well, I did but I ended up on the phone for another 45 minutes between being in queue and being transferred - before reaching someone who was supposed to help me. What a rude jerk. This is still all on Jan 3.
The guy tells me that my money was refunded, but since I'm complaining they'd start the refund process again. I questioned that strategy and tried to get a supervisor. I was told speaking to a supervisor wasn't possible and that this was the way it worked. Basically that I was a jerk and my money (supposedly already refunded) would be refunded in 24 hours. I asked for a direct phone number to call back if I didn't get the money. He gave me a number and an extension.
I then went onto PayPal and filed a dispute for this transaction. I have filed a dispute with the credit card company, and I have filed a complaint with the FL BBB (which Tiger does not belong to.) And I'm posting complaints to forums like this. I have given them a couple of days, and checked PayPal today, Jan 9, 2006. No money. I called TigerDirect again and tried the extension Mr Jerk had given me. Guess what, it didn't work. What a surprise!
I called the 800 number and got through to ** in less than 15 minutes! Woohoo! ** told me that she would start the refund process and send the request to the one person who handles PayPal transactions. The refund would take 3 to 5 days. I questioned her about the process supposedly already started on Jan 3, and why that didn't work out; and for that matter why the supposed refund of Dec 27 didn't work. ** didn't know and had no record of my other calls.
According to **, the way the process works is that they refund the money to PayPal and PayPal is then responsible to let me know they have it. Aaah, yeah. I know that. My problem is that the money is not getting to PayPal. It's been almost a month now. Well, ** didn't want me to speak because obviously I didn't understand how the process worked. I think I do. I think that TigerDirect, just like Overstock.com, just likes to get money - they don't like to provide the product or give you your money back.
So it'll be interesting to see what happens as a result of all disputes and complaints I've filed. And I'll keep calling TigerDirect, just to see what they come up with next. PS. Don't buy from them.
Update 1/10/2006. I have been informed by PayPal that my money has been refunded. So, it took a little over 3 weeks to get a refund that should've happened within days. On top of the delay is the sheer frustration of dealing with TigerDirect customer service. If I put a dollar amount to the hours spent on them, I squandered more than the original hard drive cost.
TigerDirect sells items that does not have in stock. And they mailed me any item they want, it is up to their opinion of what I need and what I don't need. 10 Years ago this company was fine and now after this company moved overseas. It became a scammer and cheater and fraud. They even refused to cancel my order even if they did not ship it yet. I sent them 7 emails in 5 days requesting cancellation but I got no respond. I contacted PayPal and in 3 ways call with PayPal and TigerDirect, I requested cancellation and money back, but nothing happened. Bunch of liars, jerks. Stay away, it is nothing but a headache.
EL PASO, TEXAS -- I ordered and paid for a battery for my son's laptop on 6/17/13 from TigerDirect and the tech clerk check availability and it was in stock and I would have it in a few days. I returned to the store 2 weeks later to find out status of my order (sales order# **) and was told it was on backorder and there was no ETA?? At that time the tech clerk said I could not cancel order or request my money back.
I went back again three weeks later and was told the vendor never received TigerDirect order and my battery would ship overnight and of course charge TigerDirect. On 7/27/13 when the battery finally arrived I pick it up and come to find out the battery did not function?? Again 2 days later back to TigerDirect and they had to order which up to today there is no...ETA.. Again I spoke to the tech clerk who explained there was nothing he could do!! I spoke to woman tech clerk would tried to help but explained she was no familiar with the department?
I spoke to one of the store manager who started out not so nice but I explained to him I was the customer and deserved to be treated with respect. My son is leaving for college and doesn't have the battery for his laptop. Very upset about the whole situation. I hope this gives you an insight of the way TigerDirect does their business. I will never a single thing from this company ever again!!
I apologize for the inconvenience. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your name and phone number, and a copy of this post. I will be happy to try to resolve this for you.
INTERNET -- TigerDirect.com order #**. I ordered an Asus Open Box laptop and discovered the item was "not available" several days later. When I called to get an update, I was informed the laptop would no longer be available and I would have to order another brand. Is this a Bait And Switch or what? Needing a laptop, I authorized an upgrade to a more expensive and different brand only to be called a few days later and told I would have to answer a series of security questions. When I replied to the questions, I was informed that I had failed to provide the "correct" answers.
This is a bunch of ** since I KNOW to the day, how long I have lived at my present address. I KNOW the year and make of my pickup truck since I owned, drove and registered it for 12 years. To my knowledge, I also had never heard of the people I was supposed to have known as presented by the interviewer! TigerDirect.com's "System" is flawed. It does not provide what what they advertise, is subject to incorrect security protocols and has yet to satisfy potential long term customer. I will look elsewhere for my future computer and accessories orders.
MIAMI, FL -- My husband and I bought a computer and a warranty that included in home repair from TigerDirect. During the warranty period, the hard drive went bad. We called TigerDirect and they referred us to Bankers Warranty Group for repair. Bankers Warranty Group referred us to Capital Computer Service for repair. They gave us a phone number for Capital that is non-functioning.
After many weeks of calling both TigerDirect and Bankers Warranty Group, we still don't have our computer repaired. People from both entities repeatedly told us they would call us back and didn't. We are now forced to have the computer fixed on our own. All that money down the drain. TigerDirect used to be a reputable company. Now they sell bad computers and warranty services that they cannot provide. I used to recommend them to friends... now I say stay away from this company.
I recently purchased a hard drive from these people and it was defective. Purchased 11-16-09 received about 1 week later I left for vacation and when I returned and installed the drive within 3 weeks the windows detected bad clusters, the drive was bad. I called the drive manufacture and they suggested I call the place I purchased it from because or I will have to pay for shipping and special packing material to return it for a warranty replacement. So I called TigerDirect and they said: "It's been past 30 days so we can't help you, all we can do is refer you to the manufacturer. (Western Digital)"
When I explained about the shipping and packaging cost they said "we can't do anything about that." I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told "the supervisor can't help you with that issue either." So I said "I want to speak to them about their policy" and was again told "they can't help you with that issue." So I said "I want to talk to a supervisor" and they asked "for what reason?" I said "to file a complaint" and they again said "they can't help you with that." I said "in other words you are not going to let me talk to a supervisor are you?" And she said (**) "They can't help you with that issue."
I again said "can I speak to a supervisor yes or no?" And again was told "they can't help you with that issue!" So I guess the answer is NO. I was told to email or write a letter to them "go to our website and click on contact us then support." I did and what do you know there's no option for filing a complaint. I guess complaints are not of any importance to this company.
I even looked up the corporate office number and was lucky I found it 305-415-2200 and called and asked the operator for the email of a person to file a complaint and was told to hold on and was rudely transferred to a computerized voice mail. I left a message will see if anyone calls back my guess is probably not. I will never buy anything from these people ever again and I will let all my friends know how bad there service is..

12/2/14 Ashton & Mila Married??
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, January 2, 2015
There are a lot of pictures of KIM KARDASHIAN where she's not smiling. But it's not because she's sad, or because she doesn't like her teeth. It's all about preserving her youth. Kim posted some pictures of herself smiling the other day, along with a caption that explains everything: "See I do smile . . . even laugh on occasion. Not too often though because it causes wrinkles."
GWYNETH PALTROW admits she sometimes second-guesses her CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING with CHRIS MARTIN. She says, quote, "There are times when I think it would have been better if we had stayed married, which is always what your children want. But we have been able to solidify this friendship, so that we're really close."
People are speculating that ASHTON KUTCHER and MILA KUNIS are married, thanks to a picture Ashton posted New Year's Eve. It's a "Happy New Year" message written in sand, and it's signed, "The Kutchers".
Who knew that JAMIE LYNN SPEARS was a BLADE MAN? Jamie waved a knife around to stop a fight at a Pita Pit in Hammond, Louisiana last weekend. Sources say Jamie was there with a friend when a fight broke out between a bunch of guys. Jamie's friend was knocked over, so Jamie dragged her to safety behind the counter.
Then she threatened the guys with a SERRATED BREAD KNIFE to make them stop fighting. Police were called, but Jamie's friend didn't want to press charges, so there were no arrests.
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron are secretly engaged, according to Us Weekly. Penn, 54 and Theron, 39 reportedly got engaged in November while vacationing in Paris, but you would never know it by looking at the her finger. Sources say there is no huge diamond ring because the actress didn't want one. This will be Penn's third marriage and Theron's first.

Lindsay Lohan is starting the new year in pain. She has been vacationing in the French Polynesian, but things took a turn for the worse a few days ago when she caught a rare, untreatable virus called Chikungunya. According to the World Health Organization, the virus is transmitted through mosquito bites and causes fever, joint paint, fatigue and a rash. The joint pain can last for months and there's no cure. Still, Lindsay wasn't going to let that stop her good time. She tweeted, "I refuse to let a virus [affect] my peaceful vacation."
Why does Chris Rock want out of his 19-year marriage? Simple. He's not happy. Sources tell TMZ that the comedian "just did not want to continue in a marriage that was not fulfilling." One insider says this will be a "simple divorce," although there have been reports that wife Malaak has been preventing him from seeing their two young daughters.
Meanwhile, Chris Rock's camp is denying reports that he split up with his wife Malaak after falling for his Top Five co-star Rosario Dawson. "There is no truth to that," Rock's rep tells The New York Post. "The rumor is 100 percent untrue."

Sofia Vergara got a very special gift for Christmas -- an engagement ring! According to E! News, Joe Manganiello popped the question on Thursday. The two, who began dating in July, have yet to announce the news publicly. On Sunday, Sofia celebrated Joe's birthday by posting a photo of the couple on Instagram and writing, "Happy happy bday to my love and best friend, to the one that makes me laugh like crazy!Have a healthy wonderful year babe!!!"
Justin Bieber isn't as swaggy as we all thought he was. The Biebs made us all believe he bought a $60 million private plane for himself on Christmas, but that's apparently not the case. According to TMZ, Justin simply rented the private jet for a last-minute getaway on Christmas Day from Canada to New York City. On that day, he posted a picture of himself in the for-sale fancy air craft, making many believe he purchased it.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West spend a lot of time away from each other, but TMZ says they have purchased a new home that will put an end to the long distance in their marriage. Apparently, the couple purchased the house next door to their Hidden Hills dream home so they can expand their property to five acres. TMZ says the plan is to build "a giant park for kids, a basketball court and a full music studio for Kanye ... so he doesn't have to venture off to Paris or Mexico to record his albums." Also, quote, "a full movie theater, game room and a spa for Kim are also in the works, as well as a detached guest house. "

Khloe Kardashian wants to finalize her divorce from Lamar Odom, but her estranged husband is nowhere to be found. According to TMZ, Khloe has been unable to meet up with Lamar to hash out the details of the divorce despite several attempts. Sources close to the family say he hasn't been responding to calls from Khloe or her attorney. It's been reported that if she can't get Lamar to meet her and settle the case, she'll have to file a default judgment without him.
Believe it or not, Christina Aguilera might be a drama queen. XTina spent her birthday at the "Happiest Place on Earth" and ended up in a heated argument with...none other than...Mickey Mouse. TMZ reports that Christina and her crew tried to get a picture with Mickey as he was going on break, but she was told by employees that she would have to wait. That's when she had a diva meltdown. She reportedly called Mickey a nasty name, and then dropped the horrific, "Do you know who I am?" line. That's when she and her people started making threats to Mickey, so the poor Mouse had to be ushered away to safety.
Chris Rock has officially filed for divorce from his wife, Malaak, of nearly 20 years. Malaak Compton-Rock released a statement Sunday to People saying, "After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have decided to go our separate ways." The 49-year-old comedian and his wife got married in 1996. They have two daughters -- 12-year-old Lola Simone and 10-year-old Zahra Savannah.
12/29/14 Bieber Buys Jet
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, December 29, 2014
It doesn't matter if you're naughty when you're worth an estimated $200,000,000. And Justin Bieber is. Justin posted a photo of himself in a private plane along with the caption, "New jet for Christmas, and she's beautiful." TMZ explained that it may not be what it seems because a G6 goes for around $60M, give or take a few million. This one seems particularly tricked out, with at least 8 white leather seats, a large couch and a lounge. Lots of celebrities purchase part ownership in these jets, which may be what Justin did in this case.
Dustin Diamond, better known as Screech from Saved by the Bell, was arrested on Friday for allegedly stabbing a man with a switchblade. The trouble began when Dustin and his girlfriend Amanda got into a fight with patrons at a bar in Wisconsin. Amanda allegedly punched an unidentified women, and at some point Dustin, who was defending his girlfriend, pulled a switchblade and stabbed a male patron. The man's injuries were said to be minor. Dustin was charged with a felony and several misdemeanor counts.
Bill Cosby is looking to dig up dirt on his accusers, according to the New York Post. Cosby is reportedly paying "six-figure fees to private investigators for information that might discredit" the more than 20 woman who have accused him of rape and sexual abuse.

|Introduction | Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens performance | Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR versus competition | Conclusion
The Nikkor lens delivers a wider zoom range and has wider apertures than others in this sort of range, but it is also more expensive compared to independents like Tamron's 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD, which has the closest comparable focal length range, and Sigma's 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM.
It is clear that this is a lens intended for photographers who want to have a single lens to cover all eventualities, the zoom range is vast, the dimensions are quite compact and for most people the combination looks perfect for a single, multi-purpose lens. This does mean, however, that the lens must be able to deliver in all eventualities to a quality that will be acceptable for use.
Specifications and features
Nikon has given this lens a broad list of features:
The lens also incorporates various features common to Nikon's range for instance an SWM motor for autofocus, Manual Focus and Autofocus with manual override etc.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Sigma's 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM zoom won praise for its balance of performance and convenience, but it looked bulky after rival Tamron introduced the diminutive 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD. Reducing the size, and weight while updating the optical construction to allow a new minimum focus distance of 35cm, the 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM is Sigma's response. But has the redesign compromised the optical performance, or is it a valuable addition to the range? Read on to discover our verdict.

I just got mine. It's the same size as the 28-300mm FX lens. Take this lens along with the 12-24mm f/4 or 10-24mm, and the 35mm f/1.8 and you've got all you need for just about everything. Throw in a flash and you're done. I also require a dedicated macro, but that's my thing. I like this lens on a D7000, and it works just fine on the D3200.

The Maldives has decided to immediately and unilaterally withdraw from the New7Wonders of Nature competition because of the New7Wonders organiser's demand for expensive license fees and sponsorship packages in order to compete meaningfully in the remainder of the competition.
"With regret, we are withdrawing from this competition because of the unexpected demands for large sums of money from the New7Wonders organisers. We no longer feel that continued participation in this competition is in the economic interests of the Maldives," said Thoyyib Mohamed, Minister of State for Tourism, Arts and Culture, and Chairman of the Maldives Marketing and PR Corporation (MMPRC).
The Maldives originally agreed to participate in the New7Wonders of Nature competition in early 2009 and paid a participation administration fee of $199. However, the details of the joint initiatives and escalating costs were not clearly outlined prior to signing. Recently, the New7Wonders organisers have repeatedly asked the Maldives to pay significantly more money, including:
A Platinum sponsorship license fee at US $350,000.
Two Gold sponsorship license fees at US $210,000 each.
The sponsorship of a 'World Tour' event, whereby the Maldives would pay for a delegation of people to visit the country, provide hot air balloon rides, press trips, flights, accommodation, communications etc.
license fee for a national telecom provider to participate in
New7Wonders campaign – later reduced to US $500,000 on appeal.
license fee for a Maldives based airline to display logo on
The MMPRC repeatedly asked the New7Wonders organisers if there was a way to stay in the competition without paying significant sums of money. The New7Wonders organisers eventually stated that the Maldives could host a "protocol visit" for a delegation of the New7Wonders organisers, in which the Maldives would incur "flights and logistical costs etc." The New7Wonders organisers pointed out, however, that "in our previous campaign for the man made Official New7Wonders of the World, all the winners had highly successful World Tour Events" and added "you do need sponsorship to participate fully in initiatives such as the World Tour event visit"
While the Maldives has invested considerable time and effort in campaigning for the New7Wonders of Nature competition, the country has not spent significant sums of money on the campaign. After extensive discussions with tourism industry stakeholders, the Maldives has decided to withdraw from the competition with immediate effect.
The Maldives would like to note the press release from UNESCO dated July 9, 2007 which states: "Although UNESCO was invited to support this (the previous"New7Wonders of the World" competition) project on several occasions, the Organisation decided not to collaborate"
The Maldives further notes concerns raised by lawyers acting for the Indonesia Ministry of Tourism, in regards to Komodo Island's participation in the New7Wonders of Nature competition.
Finally, the Maldives is perplexed with the recent inconsistent patterns of the rankings of the competitors at this stage of the competition and the lack of detailed information and transparency as to how this is calculated.

Comments about Buckwheat Cervical Roll:
I purchased this pillow as I have other buckwheat pillows that I love, but this one isn't even close. It is hard and sounds crunchy, it did not support my neck as expected, the ends of the pillow limit the amount of room you have for your head. Very disappointed...returning. The cover is the only thing I liked.

Since it takes a lot of faith to believe in evolution, and because it is a twisted faith that causes people to be powerless in this world, we have not registered a new cult with the world body of churches.
The new cult: Evolutionism!
This is a cult of believers who twist reality around, using faith to contradict obvious statistical facts, and suspect theories to gain converts. It is not a large group. Most of its members reside in positions of academia, where they can covertly brainwash the children of the masses, through a lengthy process of spiritual de-conditioning. Like most gangs, there is no hierarchy, but it is composed of many meandering and competing groups, which makes this cult so dangerous.
Most of the youth of the country are not swayed by the cult's use of twisted logic, as most kids get a good sense of right and wrong sometime between the 4th and 8th grades (usually comes with a paddle to the rump by a concerned parent). However, some kids become converts. Many of these begin an adventure into a lifestyle not in keeping with the norm (i.e., they do not attend church or lean on God in times of trouble, etc.). A subset of these converts become agents of the cult themselves, joining academia and the effort to corrupt the countries youth.
So far it is not illegal to be part of this cult. But they are kept under careful watch by the authorities. As soon as our Republican congress can get more seats in the house, they can enact laws to make it illegal for this type of gang activity to exist. Until then, evolutionists have free reign to attempt and de-condition the masses.

Kindle vs. Nook - for the needs of a college student-
by jmccamy - 1/24/10 12:59 PM
I'm a college student and the majority of my reading is through articles posted online (to Blackboard if you're familiar). So my e-reader wouldn't solely be for the common purpose of always purchasing and reading published books (although clearly I would be doing that as well). Right now it looks like the Kindle would be my choice over the nook because it has better PDF reading capabilities- as well as word documents. Also I want to be able to either hook it up and load the readings through my PC or download them on the reader itself- which would only be possible through the Kindle because the Nook has no browser (even though it has Wifi). However I do like that the Nook is on android and grants the option of using GoogleBooks, especially those that are free.
Could someone make sure I'm evaluating this correctly and that for my purposes, the Kindle is probably my best bet?

Adorable but!
Absolutely loved the feel of this jacket and really wanted it to work for me. Took a chance ordering Size Small as Metrostyle Smalls mostly work for me - but it arrived in a Chadwicks bag - and Chadwicks Smalls usually do not work for me....?! Very disappointed to find it was way too big to look attractive (I am 5 ft - 98 lb) and envy those whom it does fit!
St Louis, MO
Beautiful and SOFFFFT!!
The previous reviewer helped me make my choice to purchase this adorable jacket,so I am writing a review to confirm she was right on! This darling jacket does look just like the patagonia pelage jacket. And it is soooo soft, that is thee most important factor to me, and I have returned many faux furs due to the stiff, scratchy, prickly feel! I am sooo happy with this jacket, I can't even tell you! And the sale price was a wonderful bonus! I usually shop onestopplus becuase I'm between an xl and 1x. I got this is xl/taupe, and it's very generous. I also love how the shawl collar goes up almost like a hood. I would buy this jacket again and again so I hope it comes back in more colors! Also agree it is not bulky and more light weight(very comfortable to wear), so here in Ohio I've not been able to wear out yet, but when it reaches high 20 degrees I'm wearing with a sweater under, and it will be fine (in car usually anyway)So glad I bought mine too!!!!!! A real winner! I LOVE IT!!!
cleveland, ohio
Love this jacket!
I decided to take a chance on this jacket even though it didn't look like a swing coat on the model. It is swingy though and has a pleat in the back which you would never know from the description. It's really what I would call a furry fleece much like the patagonia pelage jacket. It is adorable on and true to size as well. Very light, which is a good thing as I tend to not like heavy coats or jackets. Don't expect something that looks like a fur jacket. The color rendered correctly too, a very pretty taupe. So glad I bought it!

Ankle Boots: The InStyle Round-Up
Ankle boots are one of the few genuine wardrobe staples. There's some occasion where sandals, sneakers and classic flats just won't cut it, and an over-the-knee style is too much.
Whether you team them with jeans at the weekend for a classic casual look, like Kate Bosworth, or toughen up a feminine dress a la Alexa Chung, everyone needs a pair – and heeled or flat ankle boots, it's up to you.
Boots are massive for AW14. Seen all over the catwalks, from practical and outdoorsy at Tommy Hilfiger to colourful and plastic at Miu Miu, and peep toe and heeled at Burberry, there's a style for everyone.
They're the perfect way to work a new season trend into your look, without going all-out. Animal skin, for example, can be worn on a pair of ankle boots, from Kurt Geiger's classic styles to Isabel Marant's folky moccasins.
Whether you want to mix up your collection with Clarks' twist on the desert boot, Stella McCartney's casual styles or Topshop's print mid-heels and cut-out boots, or it's just a style staple you're after, like Office, Bertie and Zara's classic Chelsea and heeled navy, brown and black ankle boots, there will be a pair you love in InStyle's round-up of the best…

London, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Bradley Wiggins might miss the Tour de France for a second straight year, but the 2012 champion said it's not because of an injury.
Wiggins was unable to defend the title last year because of health issues and Team Sky teammate Christopher Froome became the second British rider to win cycling's most prestigious event.
With Froome set to defend this year, Wiggins told the BBC that he probably won't be selected for the team that rides in France this summer. The two are set to ride in separate Tour de France tune-up races -- Froome at the Criterium du Dauphine and Wiggins at the Tour de Suisse.
While the makeup of the team for the Tour de France hasn't yet been decided, Wiggins said he might only be selected if Froome suffers an injury at the Dauphine.
"If he crashes, there'd still be a chance I could come into the team," Wiggins told the BBC. "As it stands, all being well, Chris staying fit and healthy that's the team that'll roll out."
Wiggins won the Tour of California earlier this year and is a three-time Olympic individual gold medal winner.

Gamble Scores Seven Times as Women's Lacrosse Comes Up Just Short at Rollins 17-16
March 20, 2010
Story Courtesy of Rollins Sports Information
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FL - Rollins saw scoring efforts from eight different players, including hat tricks from Katy Tyszko, Marissa Giannerini and Erica Pagliarulo, as the Rollins womens lacrosse team downed Pfeiffer University 17-16 in regional action on Saturday afternoon.
Rollins (4-3) had a strong first half against the Falcons (7-2), leading by as much as seven in the opening stanza, but had to fight their way out of a three goal deficit in the final seven and a half minutes of regulation to grab their fourth victory of the season.
The Tars found themselves up 13-10 in the second half with 19:54 on the clock. But two yellow cards on the Tars within 13 seconds of each other left Rollins down two players on the field for a solid three minutes, allowing Pfeiffer to notch three straight goals and knot the score at 13-13 with 14:58 remaining in the contest.
Pfeiffer continued to take advantage as the Tars scrambled to recollect themselves in the ensuing minutes after the penalties, scoring three more goals to lead 16-13 with 7:42 remaining on the clock.
But Rollins rattled off four-straight shots between the pipes, and held the Falcons silent in the final three minutes of action to hold onto the one goal advantage.
Joining Tyszko, Giannerini, and Pagliarulo on the scoreboard were Liz Connelly, Mallory Surpless, and Sophie Townsend with two apiece. Tori Snow and Sarah Ann Showell netted one each to close out the goal scoring, with Connelly and Snow registering two assists, while Tyszko earned one assist of her own.
Snow led the Tars in draw controls with five, and was closely followed by Giannerini and Connelly who each grabbed four, as the Tars dominated the draw 21-12. Pfeiffer led the ground ball count by a slim 28-26 margin, but were a perfect 6-for-6 on free position attempts compared to Rollins 3-for-7 mark.
The Falcons were led by Allie Gamble with a game high seven goals on the afternoon. Jessica Kennedy, Liz Melesh, and Shannon Bonnel notched two each, while Heidi Karaszkiewicz, Alex Cook, and Amanda Smith scored one.
The Falcons saw a big game from goalie Caitlin Ryan, who set aside 14 shots on the day, including nine saves on the first half. Ryan faced 38 shots from the Tars, 31 of which were on cage.
Rollins jumped to an early 4-0 lead with 23:28 remaining before the break, but saw their advantage cut in half with two Pfeiffer goals, both assisted by Tory Binder, to pull to within two with 13:09 on the clock.
The Tars hit their first half stride, scoring five goals from five different players in just two and a half minutes, sprinting out to a seven goal lead with 7:16 to go before the break. But PU answered right back with four straight tallies of their own to close the gap to three with a score of 9-6 and 2:55 to go.
Showell netted a goal off of a Connelly feed just 12 seconds later to pull Rollins ahead 10-6, but two straight crease rolls from Allie Gamble pulled the Falcons to within two as the teams entered into the half with a score of 10-8.
Tyszko ignited the Tars at the start of the second half, scoring an unassisted goal 46 seconds in. The two south region foes battled back and forth over the ensuing eight minutes, as each team scored two apiece to set the score at 13-10 with 19:54 on the clock.
Rollins was handed two quick yellow cards two minutes later, allowing Pfeiffer to rattle off their six goal run over the following 10 minutes of play to pull ahead to a 16-13 lead with 7:42 to go.
But the Tars were not about to back down, netting the final four goals of the contest, including two from Tyszko, to secure the victory.
Pfeiffer returns home on Tuesday afternoon for a 4:00 p.m. matchup with visiting Southern New Hampshire.

HAZARD—The Perry County School District and Superintendent Jonathan Jett, along with a handful of other district employees, have been named in a lawsuit filed last week which claims they "acted with deliberate indifference to the rights of" an elementary school student, leading to the sexual assault of said student.
According to the suit, filed Thursday in Perry County Circuit Court, between 2012 and 2013, the plaintiff's child, named E.G.B. in the suit, was enrolled at Chavies Elementary as a kindergarten student and a first grade student. During those two years, E.G.B. "was subjected to sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, physical abuse, bullying, intimidation, and psychological abuse … by John Doe," who was also a minor.
Lori Reynolds, who is representing the plaintiff, said the age difference between E.G.B. and Doe was quite large in elementary school standards, being that Doe was 13 and 14 years old when the incidents occurred and E.G.B. was 6 and 7 years old.
"There's some very heavy stuff, and the thing that's so disturbing is that it happened over a two-year period before it was caught," Reynolds said.
The abuse and other bullying incidents were reported to the defendants, who are named in the suit as the school district, Jett, as both superintendent and individually, former Chavies Elementary Principal Charles E. Browning, Jr., current Chavies Principal Regina Paul, and Kim Hoskins, by E.G.B. on multiple occasions, according to the suit.
"Rather than act to correct the problem, as was their legal duty, Chavies Elementary, Perry County School District, and the individual defendants, on information and belief, failed to take any steps to end such abuse, including failing to report, and took no appropriate or remedial action," the suit reads.
The suit goes on to say the defendants knew or had reason to know that Doe had molested or abused other students, and did not separate him from other students nor did they notify any parents or students of the danger Doe could pose.
"The defendants completely failed and negated their duty to prevent bullying and harassment of such persons, to the detriment and damage of E.G.B.," the suit reads.
In January 2014, Doe pleaded guilty due to mental illness to two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, a felony offense, after admitting to performing acts of sexual abuse on E.G.B. on at least two separate occasions on the premises of Chavies Elementary.
The suit carries seven counts against the defendants, including civil rights violations, bullying, common law battery, failure to supervise, failure to report, and failure to implement student discipline code.
When contacted, Jett told the Herald neither he nor anyone working for the school system could comment on the suit, and any further questions should be directed to the school board's attorney.
Mike Schmitt, the school board's attorney, did not return phone calls for comment before the time of press.
"The school and the school board and the teachers have a duty to supervise and protect these children," Reynolds said. "When a parent drops a child off at school, the school takes the role of a parent … Not only should my client have been protected, the perpetrator should have been protected from his own conduct, too."
Reynolds explained that her client was not filing this suit to punish Doe or to try to take down the system, but rather was hoping to bring attention to a preventable incident in hopes of keeping the same thing from happening again with other children.
"They want the children of Perry County to be protected, and if there are children out there that have been hurt, there is a safe place to which they can come and disclose what has happened," Reynolds said.
"If it was taken seriously it would have never reached the point that it did. It would have stopped there,"
The Care Cottage in Hazard, the Kentucky River Children's Advocacy Center (KRCAC), offers support services, counselling, and other assistance for children in the area who may be suspected of being sexually abused, Reynolds said.
If you or anyone you know feels they need help from the Care Cottage, they can call (606)-487-9173.

Part 1: Create your API
This tutorial walks you through the process of setting up your first API proxy by using the Apigee Edge management UI.
Alternatively, you can create the API proxy as a set of XML files. Often new users prefer the management UI, but as they gain more experience they migrate to using XML files. For a tutorial on creating the same API proxy in XML, see Part 1: Create your API in XML.
If you're new to Edge, you may want to review What is Apigee Edge? If you're new to RESTful APIs you may want to review this blog post for some background.
About creating an API proxy and defining API resources
To create an API on Edge, you configure an API proxy for one or more existing services. Under the hood, Edge generates a new API, with its own unique network address and processing pipeline, that handles request and response messages. The API is exposed over the Internet and can be invoked over HTTP.
The API proxy can be as simple or as detailed as you like. For example, an API proxy can be a simple 'passthrough', exposing a single API method and funneling any type of request to a particular backend service. It can also be extremely granular, specifying responses based on the HTTP verb of the request, the URI requested, the content of the request or response, and so on.
About the Yahoo Weather API
In this tutorial, you will create an API proxy for the Yahoo Weather API. The Yahoo Weather API returns XML-formatted weather reports based on an identifier called a WOEID (Where On Earth ID). The WOEID for Palo Alto, CA is 12797282. You can call this API directly. In a Web browser, enter:
The result is an XML-formatted weather report.
Step 1: Create an API proxy for the Yahoo Weather API
Now go through the steps to send a request to the Yahoo Weather API via an API proxy on Apigee Edge. First create the API proxy:
- Login to https://enterprise.apigee.com. (You can obtain a free account at https://accounts.apigee.com/accounts/sign_up.)
- If this is the first time that you have logged in, you will land on the Dashboard page. Select the Activate button under API Management. The activation process can take a few minutes.
- In the API Platform UI, select the APIs tab.
You will see two existing API Proxies: oauth and weatherapi. Ignore those for now. They are for use in the tutorial Part 1: Deploy OAuth token endpoint.
- Click the add (+) API Proxy button.
- In the "Choose Your Starting Point" section of the New API Proxy dialog box, select Backend Service and enter http://weather.yahooapis.com as the Backend Service URL.
The Backend Service URL defines the target URL that Apigee Edge invokes on a request to the API proxy.
- In the "Identify Your API Proxy" section, enter weather for the Display Name and Yahoo weather proxy as the Description.
The Project Base Path is automatically set to /weather. The Project Base Path is part of the URL used to make requests to your API. Apigee Edge uses the URL to match and route incoming requests to the proper API proxy.
- Add a version number
/v1to the Project Base Path. This step is optional; however, it's considered a best practice to version your API. For more information on this important topic, see "Versioning Best Practices". The path now looks like this:
- Leave the "Add Features" section as is.
Click Build.
In response, you should see an acknowledgement that your new API proxy was successfully created and deployed into your test environment and listed in the API summary page.
Click Close in the acknowledgement to display the details page for the API proxy.

Understanding APIs and API proxies
Step 2: Define a resource for the API proxy
Now you're ready to define your first resource. Defining resources for an API proxy is optional. However, by defining resources, you gain more granular control over the API.
A resource is a simply a URI. By defining specific resources, you gain the ability to apply policies to specific URIs, as well as operational visibility into the performance or consumption of those URIs. You can even further refine resource definitions by specifying the HTTP verb used against the URI.
In this step, you define a resource that represents a weather forecast, along with the verb GET used to access the resource.
- In the main menu of the management UI, click APIs to display the API Proxies page. If the API Platform page is not open, click here. Or, navigate directly to the page like this:
- Go to www.apigee.com.
- Sign in.
- Click API Management on the landing page.
- From the APIs menu, select API Proxies.
- Click weather in the API Proxies table.
- In the Resources section of the weather details page, click the + Resource button.
- Enter forecast for the Name.
- Click the Proxy Endpoint menu and choose default.
- Click the Verb menu and choose GET.
- Enter
/forecastrssas the resource Path. By defining this URI, you can monitor and manage the resource separately from other resources associated with this API proxy.
- Click the check icon in the Actions column to add the resource to the API proxy. Notice that the URL column of the table now shows the full URL of the resource. You will use that URL in the next section to make a request.
- Click Save in the upper-left corner of the page.
- To deploy your API proxy, select the Deployment drop-down box in the center of the page.
- Select test to deploy your API proxy to the test environment. Note: If your API is already deployed, skip this step.
- Confirm that you want to deploy the API proxy be selecting the Deploy button.
You can now make requests to your deployed API proxy.
Learn moreAPI resources and conditional flows
Step 3: Request the Yahoo Weather API by using your Edge API proxy
Now that you have an API proxy for the Yahoo Weather API, you can make requests to it through Apigee Edge. The first thing you need to determine is the complete URL of the resource of the API proxy that you want to access. That URL has the form:
The URL was automatically generated when you added the resource to the API proxy based on your organization and environment, where:
- Your organization, {org-name}, is typically synonymous with the API project name you provided when you signed up for an Apigee account. Although you can join more than one organization, most users will have an account in only one organization.
- An environment, {env-name}, provides a runtime execution context for APIs. By default, Apigee organizations are provisioned with two environments: 'test' and 'prod'. When you created the API proxy above, it was automatically deployed to the 'test' environment.
- The Project Base Path, {project-base-path}, and resource, {resource-name}, definitions that you specified above when you create the API proxy.
In your Web browser, enter the following, substituting your Apigee organization name for {org-name}:
For example:
Look for the following content in the response:
<rss xmlns:yweather="http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0" xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#" version="2.0"> <channel> <title>Yahoo! Weather - Palo Alto, CA</title> <link>http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/weather/Palo_Alto__CA/*http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USCA1093_f.html</link> <description>Yahoo! Weather for Palo Alto, CA</description> <language>en-us</language>
You have successfully added an API to Apigee Edge.
Step 4: Where to next?
Now that you have an API defined on Edge, you can make it more powerful by adding policies. Policies let you enhance your API to control traffic, enhance performance, enforce security, and increase the utility of your APIs, without requiring you to write any code or to modify any backend services.Continue on to Part 2: Add policies to your API to add policies to your API.

Spada Lake is a tranquil spot for a leisurely picnic, paddle or hike
Ian Terry / The Herald
The Culmback Dam is visible at the far west end of Spada Lake on Wednesday, July 30, 2014. A trail network and two boat launches are available to the public on Spada Lake however no swimming is allowed.
A foxglove flower blooms at the east end of Spada Lake.

A picnic bench overlooks the west end of Spada Lake near the Culmback Dam on Wednesday, July 30, 2014. A trail network and two boat launches are available to the public on Spada Lake.
Blackberries (above left) line the trail at the east end of Spada Lake in late July. Various berries, including native blackberries, native raspberries and thimbleberries, can be found along the trails. Foxglove (above right) grow along the trail as well.

Jagged peaks of the Cascade Mountains are visible from Spada Lake.

The trailhead for the Boulder and Greider Lakes trails lies at the east end of Spade Lake.
In a typical year, the area near the lake gets around 5,000 visitors, said Karen Bedrossian, senior environmental coordinator at the Snohomish County Public Utilities District.
As part of its relicensing of the Culmback Dam, the PUD has recently updated recreation sites at the reservoir, including picnic tables, boat launches and signs. It's quiet and beautiful and worth a visit.
Start your trip by pausing at Olney Pass, which will be on your right before you get to the lake. You'll see a sign there with information about the area. Take a moment to register (no fee is required) before continuing on.
You'll find several sites for picnicking along the shores of Spada Lake.
Culmback Dam requires a short walk down the hill. There are picnic tables, restrooms and a fascinating view of the dam.
Be sure to check out the Morning Glory Spillway, which prevents water from overtopping the dam. When water levels are normal, it just looks like a huge, round cement tube. But when the levels are extremely high, the spillway looks like a vortex to another world as the water flows in.
You can also walk across the dam, then climb a short way for a higher overlook point and more picnic tables and a toilet.
At South Fork, you'll find covered picnic shelters, more toilets and a boat launch. It's a peaceful, pretty place.
Farther along, at South Shore, there's a good view of a natural wetland that formed at the edge of the reservoir. You can picnic or launch a boat there, too.
No combustion engines are allowed on Spada Lake. "Kayakers just eat it up," said Neil Neroutsos of the PUD. "It's so calm and quiet."
Electric motors are OK. Paddleboards or other craft from which people are likely to fall in the water are not allowed.
There are two boat launches at Spada Lake, at South Fork and South Shore, and all boats should be launched from those points. South Fork has the longer boat launch, so it's more likely to be accessible when the water is low.
To the east of the South Shore site, the old road is decommissioned. It offers several destinations for hikers — and berries. On a recent trip, four types of berries were ripe. The first, and easiest, option is a short jaunt to a beaver pond. You'll reach it after about five minutes of hiking. Kids and adults will both be impressed by what beavers can do.
For more hiking, try Bear Creek, an overlook 1.2 miles from the parking area. There's slight elevation gain overall, but the trail does drop and climb steeply for short sections at creek crossing. At Bear Creek, visit the upper overlook; it's to the right of the boulder with a sign on it. You'll find benches and a great view. A fence makes it a safe place to have a break even with young kids. If you want more hiking, continue on, now on a trail, toward Greider (8.6 miles roundtrip) or Boulder (13.8 miles roundtrip) lakes.
Fishing is allowed in the lake, but not the tributaries. Check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website, www.wdfw.wa.gov, for fishing regulations.
Whitewater kayaking
Part of the relicensing included consideration for whitewater kayakers. A new trail, the Sultan River Canyon Trail, is under construction to provide kayakers with better access to the advanced runs. The trail was designed by the Forest Service and is well made, Bedrossian said. The previous trail was more of a path. Work on the new trail is on pause right now and will resume after the marbled murrelet nesting season. The route will probably be finished this year. Once the trail is completed, there will be scheduled whitewater flow releases.
If you go
To get there, head east on U.S. 2 through Sultan. Just past town, turn left on Sultan Basin Road. Follow Basin Road 13.5 miles to Olney Pass.
It's important to note that, as Spada Lake is a source of drinking water, some activities are prohibited. Swimming and wading are not allowed in the reservoir or the creeks. Check the sign at Olney Pass or the PUD's website, www.snopud.com/jhp, for more information.
