"But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel." (2 Chronicles 6:6)
The Book of Second Chronicles focuses on the temple and temple worship that befit a nation whose worship of God is central to its very survival. The book begins with Solomon's glorious temple and concludes with Cyrus' edict to rebuild the temple more than four hundred years later.
The throne of David has been destroyed, but the line of David remains. Murders, treachery, battles, and captivity all threaten the messianic line; but it remains clear and unbroken from Adam to Zerubbabel. The fulfillment in Christ can be seen in the genealogies of Matthew 1 and Luke 3.
The temple also prefixes Christ. Jesus says, "In this place is one greater than the temple." (Matthew 12:6) He also likens His body to the temple: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." (John 2:19) In Revelation 21:22, He replaces the temple: "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it."
Most of Second Chronicles 1-9 is devoted to the building and consecration of the temple. The temple symbolizes God's presence among His people and reminds them of their high calling. It provides the spiritual link between their past and future. That is why Ezra wrote this book to encourage the people to accept the new temple raised on the sight of the old and to remind them of their true calling and God's faithfulness despite their low circumstances. The Davidic line, temple, and priesthood are still theirs.
Just as God had a plan for David's life, He also has a plan for our lives. May we like David strive to live for the Lord, and be obedient to Him all of our lives. When we are willing to do what He would have us do, He will bless us and enable us to do what He calls us to do. How blessed we are!
Although God did not allow David to build the temple,
Because he was a man of war,
He did allow Solomon, David's son, to build it,
And nothing could the beauty of the temple mar.
So may we take care of God's house,
As Solomon did so long ago,
For God will be pleased with our efforts,
And help us to spiritually grow.
Dear Father, help us to honor and glorify you by making your church a beautiful house of worship. For Christ's sake. Amen.

Grandmother's mannerisms are passed on
My brother, David, made the long trip to my town to help my other brother, Michael, haul his new project home last weekend. They stopped by my house for a quick visit. As we all went out the front door an army of carpenter bees buzzed around us.
Family visits push to-do list aside
I am listening for a knock on the door.
Signs of summer beginning to appear
One of Gracie's friends left her a present the other day. Gracie is our calico cat who never goes outside. Nevertheless, she has many friends who stroll through the yard and entice her to sprint from window to window just so they can visit.
Several surprises added up to a good day
It has been a good week.
The little things make life worthwhile
I saved three lives last week. My husband had stopped mowing long enough for a water break. As he drank, I looked down at his feet. A foot or two in front of him was a hole in the grass that I soon realized was a rabbit nest. If he hadn't stopped for water, he might have run over the nest in his next pass.
Animals got to feast on first plants
The war has begun and I have lost the first skirmish. I bought some pansies at the store last week. A six-pack of spinach jumped into my cart to keep them company. I planted the pansies and half of the spinach into a raised planter. The rest of the spinach went into the garden. A day later everything was settling in nicely.
Pennies found may bring good luck
I turned a profit on my walk yesterday. As I rounded a corner I spied two battered pennies on the ground.
Years have changed Easter celebration
Sometimes I am amazed at how much my life has changed through the years.
Beauty can be carved from plain wood
That was interesting. I attended a woodcarving show and exhibition this past Saturday. It was the first time I had been to one of these shows as an exhibitor. I shared a table with the president of our local carving club. Two of the other club members had tables on either side of us.
Season puts a spring in mom's step
It's official. Spring has arrived at last.
Ferns planted in anticipation
A package of ferns jumped into my cart at the store today. A small bag of flower fertilizer soon joined it. I managed to escape before the entire cart overflowed with promises waiting to be fulfilled.
Angels helped shovel after recent snow
What a difference a week makes. Last weekend we woke up to almost a half-foot of new snow. As there was no chance of it melting on its own, we decided to shovel the white stuff off of the driveway.
Time was spent choosing the right gifts
Nine short years ago I became a grandmother. It seems like yesterday that I held a tiny bundle in my arms and read her the first story she ever heard while her mother listened and her Aunt Chrisie took pictures.
Weather advice has sapped courage
I am a wimp. There, I've said it. All my courage is gone. It had been sapped by a lifetime of listening to my mother telling me to be careful, to stay home if it is bad outside.
Visit with great-niece takes her back in time
I engaged in a bit of time travel last week. We had been invited to meet our great-niece on her one-month birthday. My sister-in-law, Sue, was visiting her first grandchild. She had invited us to have lunch with her, the baby's mother, Margaret, and most importantly, the new baby, Isabella. We were told we could only come if we promised not to call the baby Izzy. Reluctantly, we agreed.

How to check that your roast chicken is cooked properly and how to joint it.
There is nothing worse than discovering that your roast chicken is not cooked properly. It can put you right off the entire meal.
Here are a few tips to help you check to make sure that your roast chicken is ready for the eating.
Use a skewer to pierce the thickest part of the breast, when you pull it out check to see if the juices are clear. If they are then you are good to go, if not back into the oven it goes. If you are still not confident slice a knife down the inner part of the thigh and check to see if the meat is set properly and keep an eye out of any pinkness.
If you want some tips for carving up a whole roast chicken watch the video below.

"I don't preach a social gospel; I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, "Now is that political or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread."

This coach is famous for speaking his mind. Many fans would argue that, in this case, we must consider the possibility of Boudreau misplacing his mind.
"He's the best captain I've had in the NHL," Boudreau continued, speaking volumes about Getzlaf but – more so – about his captain in Washington, Alex Ovechkin. "He does a lot of good things. We can all be better. But he's got a good support system of leadership that he's learned from."
Reading Getzlaf from the outside is difficult because he's accomplished at speaking in benign words. And even after the worst defeats, he is generally impassive, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scott Niedermayer, at least publicly, was much the same way, and no one ever questioned his leadership.
The greater issue with Getzlaf is the way he can come off as emotionally detached from the process and the results. At times, his persona suggests that all this just isn't that big of a deal to him.
This also isn't the worst thing, at least not in a human being. But it isn't the desired disposition for someone who is supposed to be a leader – supposed to be the leader – of a team.
Boudreau, though, insisted Getzlaf has the tools to lead. And the personality.
"He's still young in the captaincy world," the coach said. "If you know him, you know how much pride he has...I look for great things from him."
Greatness will require a significant step forward. Getzlaf just finished with a career-worst 11 goals and only 57 points, the lowest total since his rookie season, during which he appeared in just 57 games.
He's never been a big goal scorer and doesn't need to be one here, but Getzlaf also must eliminate month-long gaps between goals. This season, he went 12 games without scoring, 17 games without scoring and twice 14 games without scoring.
For a dynamic forward with All-Star skills and a loud slap shot, such periods of downtime can saddle a team lacking offensive depth.
"It was as frustrating as it's ever been in my life," Getzlaf said of a game that, on occasion, he appears to have mastered. "It's been a tough year. It's just one of those learning experiences. I have to learn from it and move forward and I have."
And I have? It would have sounded better had Getzlaf said "and I will." "And I have" suggests there's nothing more to learn from a lesson that should rattle around inside him all summer.
Maybe this is just semantics and has nothing to do with winning in the NHL. Or maybe it's a deeper issue.
We'll find out next season, when the Ducks either return to winning or are forced to confront Getzlaf and a series of very deep issues.

UNION COUNTY — Residents of Union County whose automobiles were damaged during Friday's hailstorm are being urged to contact their local insurance agent to schedule an appointment to have their damage claims processed as soon as possible.
Friday's storm dropped hail as large as and in some cases larger than golf balls on many areas of the county. The hail reportedly damaged a large number of automobiles and even some structures.
Since Friday, hundreds of Union County residents have called their insurance agent reporting damage to their vehicles and the roofs of their homes.
State Farm Insurance Agent Brian Tolbert said that the calls began coming in Friday evening to the agency's 24-hour service and are continuing to come in.
"We were closed Friday evening, but we have a 24 hours a day after hours service," Tolbert said Wednesday. "We were closed Monday for Memorial Day and didn't reopen until Tuesday morning. I was told by our man in Spartanburg that between Friday evening and Tuesday almost 200 claims were submitted to the after hours service.
"On Tuesday alone after we reopened we received more than 100 claims," he said. "So we have received more than 300 claims since Friday and people are continuing to call today."
Tolbert said that 90 percent of the claims are for automobiles with owners report cracked or broken windshields and/or windows as well as dents to the vehicle.
"The hail was so big it cause a lot of damage to people's vehicles," Tolbert said. "We've received claims for dents to hoods, trunks, and roofs. The roofs got hit especially hard. We've also had claims for damage to windshields and windows. We've had several totally broken out windshields."
Tolbert said 90 percent of the claims his office has received have been for automobiles and 10 percent for damage to roofs. He said the difference is largely due to homeowners getting a roofer to examine their roofs to determine if there is damage before they file a claim.
To deal with the large number of claims for vehicles, State Farm has set up several tents in the parking lot of the Union Square Shopping Center on the North Duncan Bypass where personnel from its Catastrophe Unit can assess damage claims.
"We're inviting our policyholders here in Union and surrounding areas to bring their vehicles in and let us assess the storm damage," Tim Mooney, Claims Team Manager for State Farm said Wednesday morning. "We came in Tuesday and we will be here for approximately three weeks. We will be assessing claims from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Saturday."
Mooney said he expects his team to have assessed approximately 75 vehicles by the end of Wednesday. He said people who need to have the storm damage to their vehicles assessed should call their local insurance agent and make an appointment.
"They need to report their claim to the agency first and then set up an appointment," Mooney said. "That lets us give everybody their fair amount of time to assess the damage accurately."
Tolbert said policyholders should call their local State Farm office and report their claim. He said it will be forwarded to the State Farm Claims Department which will then call the policyholder and schedule an appointment.
"Once they get that appointment they can take their car to have the damage assessed," Tolbert said. "After the assessment they will then be issued a check."
The Brian Tolbert State Farm Agency, 708-1 Duncan Bypass, can be reached at 864-427-1600; the Letha King State Farm Agency, 408 N. Duncan Bypass, can be reached at 864-427-5634; and the Ashley Turner State Farm Agency, 133 W. Main St., can be reached at 864-427-3683.
Farm Bureau Insurance
In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, Farm Bureau Insurance announced that it was deploying adjusters to areas of the state hit by the hail storm including Union County.
The announcement states that the company has received more than 1000 claims from policyholders reporting hail damage to their vehicles and homes.
The company is assisting policyholders at its six Claims Service Centers throughout the state. Claims Service Centers in affected areas have increased staff and appointment times to assist policyholders. The company is also opening temporary drive-in claims centers to help process automobile claims from the storm. Adjusters will be available by appointment to assess damage and provide estimates. To make an appointment or to report a claim policyholders should call 1-800-799-7500.
The temporary centers will be open to assist policyholders Friday, May 30 and Saturday, May 31 in Richland, Spartanburg and Union counties.
The Union County center will be located at Union County Farm Bureau, 226 Harwood Heights, Union, from 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m.
The Frank Hart Allstate Insurance Agency has called in a team of adjusters who will go out to policyholders' homes or places of business to assess the damage to their vehicles.
Agency Manager Julie Horne said the agency has called in a "Catastrophic Team" of adjusters to handle the more than 200 claims the agency has received since Friday's storm.
Horne said policyholders who have damage to their vehicles should call the agency to report their claim. She said an adjuster will then call them and set up a time and a day to go out and examine their vehicle.
The Frank Hart Allstate Insurance Agency is located at 209A N. Duncan Bypass, Union, and can be contacted at 864-427-9274.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
AS TWIN GUITARS roar like Sabbath's Tommy Iommi in a cutting session with the Stooges' James Williamson, Fuses frontwoman Miss Georgia Peach declares, "We got the moves/The piss and the vinegar/To stake our claim and rock this land." And those are some good moves. Get the Hell Down buzzes with a dense proto-metal that is even more driving than 1999's #1. And Miss Peach is that rare female hard-rock singer who doesn't ache to be the second coming of Pat Benatar. She makes herself heard above the din without surrendering a softer vocal touch.
In the transition to a more stylized glam, though, the Fuses' songwriting has faltered. Those big riffs sound lonely with so few tunes to keep them company. The increased muscle has crowded out most of the references to Fifties rock, Sixties soul, and Seventies new wave that made #1 distinctive. Cuts like that album's countrified "Down in the Gutter" and the Runaways-styled sass of "Supercharged" were neither corny nor calculating in their fusion of roots and raunch. But too many of Get the Hell Down's tracks merely match clichéd lyrics about getting crazy and wild to a gigantic Detroit rock sound that even my music-indifferent spouse thinks is rehashed. Not much insanity or abandon here, just a lot of frenzied effort: The band delivers every cut with the frenzy of third graders force-fed Pop Tarts for three days straight.
Fortunately, a fistful of good cuts not only stand up to the band's harder attack, they push back. "Bored" is anything but, with Miss Peach strutting confidently over trashy old-school punk guitars to testify, "We used to sing in harmony/But now it just sounds like shit to me." And the swift pop sweetness of "Spare Me" suggests Debbie Harry sitting in with the Ramones. Best of all is "Corvette Summer," a performance as fleet and unforced as anything on #1, painting a funny and vivid picture of small-town romances that peter out around Labor Day: "We saved our pennies and walked to the corner store/We went to Pizza Hut and Burger King and I think there was one more." If there's any justice, it'll replace gross old Bob Seger's "Night Moves" as the quintessential ode to doomed hot-weather flings on every car radio in the world--at least this summer.

Re: S2 7.9
9.8/9.9 is the largest I could go if I want to be able to use it on the lake that is close to work, as it has a 10 hp engine limit. Yeah, our current boat displaces 1220 lbs and has a really old 3 hp 2-stroke...and it isn't really adequate for "larger water" as we found out in the adventure detailed above...but...it also has a tiny 2 blade propeller and isn't a long shaft, so that 3 hp is very far from efficiently used in the water. I'm guessing that a 5 hp with a 4 blade prop and long shaft would be quite a bit better than that even on a 4500 lb boat. Well, anyway, the engine size won't be what sways my decision one way or the other anyway, it'll be the condition of the hull, sails, and other gear along with the price..just want to get a feel for what people feel would be adequate and whether I should factor in needing to buy a larger engine into the equation when looking at these boats.

So I was exercising on my stationary bike just now, watching the eighth episode of the first season of Boardwalk Empire, and something happened that made me feel I'm fed up with TV shows.There's nothing wrong with the dialogue or themes or anything like that, but rather very basic elements such as environments and logic that are still severely missing in these shows.
Let me list the four relatively new shows that I've had those annoyances with, and I'm curious if you've noticed the same things: (Warning, this is a little nit picky, but in my opinion these are things that devalue the entire enjoyment of watching a show.)
Game of Thrones (spoilers all over it)
The cities are empty and small. Have you noticed this? The production values for this show are through the roof, and it has become a TV masterpiece, yet when there's a scene in Winterfell, King's Landing or Qarth, there's no people. When WINTERFELL, the capital of the north, was seized by Theon, there were like 10 people in there (I realize the men of the north are fighting a war, but there are supposed to be 'people' in Winterfell, the residents there). And ever since the first episode Winterfell seemed like nothing but a single castle with a stable and a yard. Something's missing.
Same with Qarth. Aside from the 'party' where they celebrated their new guest (Dany), the town always looks empty. When Dany was walking around with the Zoro Xa-whatever guy, it was empty. When she pursued the kidnapped dragons, there was no one around.
And last but not least, King's Landing. When Joffrey and his entourage got attacked, it looked like there was just 10-15 people throwing rocks at them. When they awaited Stanis' fleet and Joffrey pussied out, the "men" that Tyreon convinced to stay and fight were like 20 soldiers standing underneath him.
The supposedly massive cities have very few people and scarce locations making it feel like they're museums or villages, what do you think?
Person of Interest
In the first or second episode, hacking a phone was about stealing a person's phone and running an application on it as well as John's phone. Then later on it just became this thing where John looks at a person and his phone starts hacking that person's phone even from afar. If it's so easy and instant then why doesn't everyone do it? Why don't John and Finch get hacked continuously? And why have they become so lazy with showing that John needs effort to hack a phone?
Not to mention that he's New York City's most wanted, yet he walks around in his suit all over the city applying for jobs within the various criminal organizations and no one captures or even pursues him. He's wanted by the FBI, CIAand NYPD, yet he walks all over town without even getting cops suspicious.
Boardwalk Empire (S01E08 spoiler)
I need to know why Thompson asked for Jimmy's help out of all people when his Sheriff brother got shot. All of a sudden it feels his empire has no men, no power, no ARMY, that it's just him, Margret, his German assistant and his brother. What the fuck?
He discarded Jimmy like a used hooker, since he had the power and the army behind him and didn't need that trouble maker, and now he asks for HIS help like he's desperate?
Fuck this noise, brother.
The Walking Dead (More of a rant here)
Up until the next-to-last episode of the first season, things were exciting and they made sense. There was a lot of quality drama, a lot of great plot surprises as well as dialogue. And then the show went full retard. There are cars scattered ALL OVER THE PLACE yet they need to fix their own cars all the time. They're always low on gas, why not drive to a deserted gas station and pump all that juice out of there and put it in containers? And why do you keep going back and forth between this forest and that highway in the same area, getting attacked by zambies all the time? JUST DRIVE THE FUCK AWAY to a far away forest high in the middle of nowhere and start a fucking life.
Then there's the terribad drama of the second season. The back and forth arguments on the same goddamn issues with all. those. Jack faces...
This isn't about nit picking, it's about being annoyed by little things or illogical things in shows that are supposed to be some of the best on TV.
Tell me whether you agree with any of the issues listed above, and if you have other annoyances by other shows, please share!

Thousands gather for Lebanese Sunni cleric funeral
BIREH, Lebanon Mourners fired guns in the air as thousands poured into the streets Monday in northern Lebanon for the funeral of a Sunni Muslim cleric, whose killing sparked intense clashes in Beirut and raised fears the crisis in Syria was spilling across the border.
The Beirut street battles overnight killed at least two people and wounded 15, and were the most serious clashes in the capital in four years. The streets were calmer by Monday morning but some shops remained closed and many parents kept children home from school.
The violence in Beirut's predominantly Sunni neighborhood of Tariq Jadidah erupted hours after Sheik Ahmed Abdul-Wahid and his bodyguard were shot dead at a checkpoint in northern Lebanon. Abdul-Wahid was an anti-Syrian cleric.
Police commander Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi toured the neighborhood Monday and told reporters that "things will be getting better." He said police and army forces sent patrols into Tarik Jadidah to "reassure the people."
Authorities braced for the possibility of more violence Monday in the north, where Abdul-Wahid was to be buried. Gunmen carrying automatic rifles shouted for the downfall of the Syrian regime in the cleric's hometown of Bireh.
The fighting underscores how the bloodshed in Syria, where President Bashar Assad's regime is cracking down on an uprising against his rule, can fuel violence across the border.
Lebanon has a fragile political faultline precisely over the issue of Syria.
There is an array of die-hard pro-Syrian Lebanese parties and politicians, as well as support for the regime on the street level. There is an equally deep hatred of Assad among other Lebanese who fear Damascus is still calling the shots here. The two sides are the legacy of Syria's virtual rule over Lebanon from 1976 to 2005 and its continued influence since.
Thousands poured into a square outside a mosque in Bireh to take part in the funeral. The cleric's coffin, which was brought to his home, was covered with a Lebanese flag and a flag used by Syrian rebels.
"Oh cleric, we want revenge against Nasrallah and Bashar," screamed the men who carried the coffin. The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, is a strong ally of Syria.
Earlier, gunmen shouted "Down with Bashar!" and said the Syrian leader was trying to "transfer the crisis to Lebanon." Scores of men opened fire with their rifles in the air as a sign of mourning.
Most businesses and schools were closed in the predominantly Sunni northern Lebanon after local officials called for a general strike to protest the cleric's killing.
The circumstances surrounding Sunday's shooting death of the Abdul-Wahid remained unclear but the state-run National News Agency said the cleric and his bodyguard appeared to have been killed by soldiers after their convoy failed to stop at an army checkpoint.
The Lebanese army on Sunday issued a statement, saying it deeply regretted the incident and that a committee will investigate.
Amid fears the situation might deteriorate, four Gulf countries - Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates - have warned their citizens against travel to Lebanon.

NHL, union resume talks in hopes to save season
NEW YORK After a long night of talks, the NHL and the union returned to the bargaining table, but not for long.
The sides met at the league office Thursday about three hours later than scheduled. The players' association said it had been updating members on negotiations.
Players and union staff began arriving at NHL headquarters a little before 1 p.m. EST, although executive director Donald Fehr wasn't with them. The group left the building about an hour later but expected to return later in the day.
With the lockout in its 110th day, both sides understand the urgency to save a shortened season. They still have several key issues to work out - pensions and salary cap limits, among them.
Commissioner Gary Bettman has said that the league told the union a deal needs to be in place by next week so a 48-game season can begin Jan. 19. All games through Jan. 14 along with the All-Star game have been canceled, claiming more than 50 percent of the original schedule.
The sides met in small groups throughout the day Wednesday. They then held a full bargaining session with a federal mediator at night that lasted nearly five hours and didn't wrap up until about 1 a.m. Thursday.
The biggest detail to emerge from those talks was that Fehr is still the executive director of the players' association, which passed on its first chance to declare a disclaimer that would dissolve the union and turn it into a trade association.
Last month, players voted overwhelmingly to give its executive board the right to declare the disclaimer, but that permission expired at midnight Wednesday. The disclaimer would allow individual players to file antitrust lawsuits against the NHL. Fehr wouldn't address the issue, calling it an "internal matter."
"The word disclaimer has yet to be uttered to us by the players' association," Bettman said. "It's not that it gets filed anywhere with a court or the NLRB. When you disclaim interest as a union, you notify the other side. We have not been notified and it's never been discussed, so there has been no disclaimer."
The thought was that the union wouldn't take action Wednesday if it saw progress was being made. Neither side would characterize the talks or address what, if any, movement toward common ground was reached.
"There's been some progress but we're still apart on a number of issues," Bettman said. "As long as the process continues I am hopeful."
A deal can't be done without a resolution on pensions. Bettman called the pension plan a "very complicated issue." A small group meeting on the pension issue was held Wednesday morning before the players' association presented its offer.
"The number of variables and the number of issues that have to be addressed by people who carry the title actuary or pension lawyer are pretty numerous and it's pretty easy to get off track. That is something we understand is important to the players."
The union's proposal Wednesday makes four offers between the sides since the NHL restarted negotiations Thursday with a proposal. The league presented the players with a counteroffer Tuesday night in response to one the union made Monday.

Thank you to Helen for providing the backdrop for such a special weekend!
We would be delighted to have you stay again in the future!
Wonderful WE
House was really clean, our kids had a great time playing in the garden, bbq and fireplace were perfect.
We were even able to use pool (heated) in october !!
On top of that Helen was extremely easy to deal with.
We will definitely come back next year.
Wonderful Home!!
Wonderful Family-Friendly Rental, Has Everything You Need
It is perfect for families - everything you need to keep your kids safe, entertained and happy (fenced in pool, swing set, sandbox, perfect yard, toys) as well as high-chair, pack & plays, changing pad, etc. It's also great for the adults --fabulous screened in porch, tons of comfortable outdoor seating with fire pit. The house is casual, comfortable, but also has nice, upscale amenities.
The owners really thought of everything so you don't have to---you honestly will not have a care in the world when you're there.
We loved that it was secluded (located in a beautiful nature preserve), but a short drive to all the great restaurants and shopping in East Hampton & Sag Harbor. (less than 10 minute drive to all the best restaurants).
The owner, Helen was accommodating and nice to deal with. I highly recommend this home.
Wonderful, Relaxing, and Everything We Needed!
Wonderful Stay
On top of all of this, my experience with Helen, the owner, was splendid. She was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. I definitely hope to stay here again next year.

Activity and Interests
Angel Fire Resort Ski Area's 76 runs are made up with 20% beginner slopes, 50% intermediate slopes and 24% advanced slopes. All of the terrain in Angel Fire can be accessed from two high-speed quad chair lifts, three double chair lifts and two surface terrain lifts. In spring, summer and fall, the mountainsides form a backdrop of colorful meadows or brilliant golden aspens, and the weather's always perfect: nice and sunny, never hot, never humid, never "buggy." There's a lot to do and it's all right here, whether you're an extreme sports fanatic or looking for low-key decompression. You can golf, hike, fish, mountain bike or just hang out by the lake, don't forget to bring your camera! WINTER Angel Fire has many locations very close by to enjoy a nice gentle slope of a hill for sledding or for your toboggan during the winter months. There is also Olympic Park for a family building a snowman or having a good old fashion snowball fight! The Angel Fire Resort Nordic Center, located at the Angel Fire Resort Country Club has sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing available. Nestled in the southern Rockies, Angel Fire Resort ski area features 560+ boarding acres with 76 trails and terrain parks. Host to some of the greatest boarding races in the southern Rockies, Angel Fire presents USASA competitions throughout the winter and spring. Passion for powder, that is, at the Angel Fire Resort ski area. Nestled in the southern Rockies, Angel Fire has been a family favorite for over 40 years. The ski area is open from December through March, with 76 trails on 560+ ski-able acres and with two terrain parks . . . plenty of downhill fun for every ability and interest. Test your skill zipping through the gates of the timed NASTAR racecourse. And if you're an expert, check out the hike-in skiing on several ungroomed runs. SUMMER The Angel Fire Zip line Adventure Tour is the first of its kind in New Mexico. On the signature segment of the tour, adrenaline seekers will fly fifty-stories above the forest floor as they traverse from peak to peak, side by side, on a 1,600' foot tandem zip line. A zip line is a station-to-station adventure ride, which consists of a cable stretched between points of different elevations, a pulley, and a harness or bar for attaching a rider, who moves by gravity. A zip line tour connects multiple zip lines of varying lengths and descents. The Angel Fire Zip line Adventure Tour will start at the 10,600' summit of the ski mountain, and will proceed in a station-to-station tour around the mountaintop. The tour will include six separate zip line segments of varying lengths, including the one dual tandem ride. Angel Fire Ski Resort does not stop with the end of the snowfall. During the summer months, the chairlift runs to give visitors a peek at the expansive scenery from the top of Agua Fire Peak. Camp Angel Fire is structured for kids to have outdoor fun throughout the summer. The camp is for kids ages 5 (must have been in kindergarten) though 12 years. The camp runs Monday through Friday each week with activities such as tennis, hiking, swimming, golf and rock climbing as outdoor activities and arts & crafts almost daily. Kids can join up for a day, a week, or all summer long. Camp Angel Fire is very popular and fills up almost every day, so pre-registration are required in advance. Angel Fire Resort's trail system is ranked in the top 10 nationally and offers miles of downhill and cross-country entertainment. Extreme riders can test their limits, and family-friendly trails lure riders of all ability levels to experience this exhilarating sport. During the summer months you and your bike can get a (chair) lift on the Chile Express to the summit of Agua Fria Peak. Check out the amazing scenery and grab a bite at the Summit Haus, then zip through the trees and down the mountain. Cross-country riders can also try the South Boundary Trail that starts just south of Angel Fire and traverses the Kit Carson National Forest to Taos. Fly fishing the beautiful waters in and near Angel Fire, which are home to German Brown trout in abundance and a fair population of Rainbow trout, offer anglers from beginner to advanced with a little luck the best chance to reel in a good size one. Fish range 7' to 20' in length, averaging 10 to 14 inches in the streams. Take the reins and enjoy the cool mountain air on horseback in the Moreno Valley and Carson National Forest around Angel Fire. From an hour-and-a-half ride to a three-day guided pack trip, there's a horseback adventure waiting for the whole family. You can even arrange a horse-drawn carriage for your wedding party. Hiking is Angel Fire's most popular outdoor activity. And why not? It's perfectly beautiful here in every season!

It's a Chinook Technical Outdoors Guide Tarp. I bought mine on ebay years ago from a Canadian seller, but now it's available in the States.
It's served me well, though I only bring it when I know we will be camping with rain, like last week with it raining/snowing 80% of the time I was camping so it's was a good choice to make space for. It packs about the size of a grapefruit in a compression bag and traveled in the Large Wolfman Rolie panniers I have on the FE.
Kelty Tarp Pole
completed the setup, and was packed in a
Sea to Summit tent pole bag
with my fishing poles on the FE. The Sea to Summit tent pole bag is important since it has loops to run my straps through to "lock" the bag(s) to the bike, even if the strap comes loose I won't loose my stuff. BTDT.
Here you can see the Tent Pole Bags, one with the tent poles - one with 2 fishing poles + the tarp poles. You can also see the SAE plug hanging out, the Kreiga US10 bag under a MSR Dromdary 4L water bag held on with a cargo net, Giant Loop Mojave bag (NOT WATERPROOF!), GL Muffler Guard and the Seat Concepts seat + Airhawk pad.
It's nice to see the interest in traveling on the FE, admittedly Cyrus's "
Ultimate Lightweight Adventure Bike
" write up was the moment of realization for me that lead to months of following FE forums and finally making the plunge when a perfect hardly used bike came around at the right enough time.... he nailed it with thinking Husaberg gave us a great platform to start with for traveling on such a high performance bike. I've always known my lightweight travel bike would not be orange, not disrespect intended. The "Swedish Mistress" has all the right ingredients there for us to utilize and enjoy.
I've tried to contact him with no luck to get more info on his oil mods, since that's the big one I need to figure out to really get some freedom on this FE. Hopefully he's out riding somewhere far away on his FE having fun.
Having spent so many miles adventuring on a bike that was double the weight of the FE, I really am in heaven now. What would have been stressful or scary is now enjoyable. Of course there's compromises to be made for having such a lightweight bike, but for me and where I want to RIDE this bike to it will work out just fine I believe.

The Best Motivational Tunes for Monday Mornings
Looking for a new job can become a costly affairyou may end up spending hundreds for a new suit, resume service, and travel costs to get to an interview. Even if you dont land the job, some of those expenses can be deducted, says the IRS. The only catch: you have to be looking in the same career field as your current or recent job (sorry, college grads this doesnt apply to first-timers). Visit the IRS' web page for more info.
If the dress code at your workplace calls for business casual, you cant get away with writing off the Theory pantsuit you just snapped up from Saks. But, if your office demands that you only wear a specific item thats not suitable to be worn outside of work, then you can comp the costs. If you are required to wear a uniform to workyoure an an airline attendant or Best Buy salespersonthis rule may save you some serious cash.

The icemaker drawer has many parts. I removed 2 screws at the front so the front trim could be removed. Then two tabs were "sprung" on each side so the ice crushing/dispensing mechanism could be removed. I failed to observe how all the cogs were positioned when I did this - had to reinstall the mechanism twice to get it right. Installing the new plate was easy otherwise and restoring the icemaker involved reversing the disassembly steps.

In optical image registration, the reference control points (RCPs) used as explanatory variables in the polynomial regression model are generally assumed to be error free. However, this most frequently used assumption is often invalid in practice because RCPs always contain errors. In this situation, the extensively applied estimator, the ordinary least squares (LS) estimator, is biased and incapable of handling the errors in RCPs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new feasible methods to address such a problem. This paper discusses the scaled total least squares (STLS) estimator, which is a generalization of the LS estimator in optical remote sensing image registration. The basic principle and the computational method of the STLS estimator and the relationship among the LS, total least squares (TLS) and STLS estimators are presented. Simulation experiments and real remotely sensed image experiments are carried out to compare LS and STLS approaches and systematically analyze the effect of the number and accuracy of RCPs on the performances in registration. The results show that the STLS estimator is more effective in estimating the model parameters than the LS estimator. Using this estimator based on the error-in-variables model, more accurate registration results can be obtained. Furthermore, the STLS estimator has superior overall performance in the estimation and correction of measurement errors in RCPs, which is beneficial to the study of error propagation in remote sensing data. The larger the RCP number and error, the more obvious are these advantages of the presented estimator.

State ranked high by Common Review Mission of NRHM
Tamil Nadu, which came in for appreciation for its performance in the health sector during the Call to Action: Child Survival and Development Summit, was also ranked high by the Common Review Mission of the National Rural Health Mission which evaluated several health parameters.
Based on a comparative evaluation, the CRM of NRHM report commended Tamil Nadu for its maternal and child care services. It is one of the three states, along with Kerala and Maharashtra, to cross the 11 Plan target for Maternal Mortality Rate reduction. While all States reported continuous increases in institutional deliveries, the highest levels were in Tamil Nadu.
In context, the State has a large number of primary health centres providing caesarean section facilities (105) the report noted, while observing that in many states it is still the private sector that does a majority of the C-section cases in the district. A key component of pulling off a successful surgery is the availability of blood.
The best practice in this sector is also credited to Tamil Nadu, where blood storage centres are not only fully functional, but also has strong linkages with various health units.
The quality of ante-natal care services in the country continues to be a cause of concern and was found to be poor in all states except Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the report stated. The State also had proper identification and follow-up for cases of severe anaemia, with adequate remedial measures put in place.
Positive reports have also come in about increasing numbers of special new-born care units from four states in Tamil Nadu, which has also reported effective birth and death registration systems.
Moving on, the committee felt that the State utilises the school set up to effectively address preventive, promotive and basic curative health care needs of school children, recommending that the model be implemented in other states as well.
The Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation a state-run procurement and logistics system, which has come in for rich praise from several quarters has been recommended for replication widely, but has taken place only in Delhi and Kerala.
Undoubtedly, there are several sectors that require improvement even in Tamil Nadu, public health experts in the State explain. However, the perception of the Centre, and other states about the performance of Tamil Nadu is also based on clear indicators of human development. It has consistently performed better than most states in the country in terms of infant and maternal mortality rates, and with a special public health cadre in place is better placed to handle and ramp up performance, they add.
