Another visually stunning DK Travel Guide!,
This review is from: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Loire Valley (Paperback)
Dorling Kindersley really know how to do decent travel guides.
This is another stunning visual guide - with clear pictures, map and guidance. It includes all of the touristy things everyone is going to want to see for the first time visit but also plenty of more unusual and out-of-the-way places for those who are coming back for more.
Included are details of all the Chateaux to visit (a little potted history, opening times and phone number), maps of all the areas and street maps of important towns and cities, places to visit, the history of this area, places to stay and places to eat - in fact everything you could possibly want to do in the area.
The book is, as always, excellent value for money via Amazon so there's no excuse not to buy a copy before you go. In fact I usually by the Green Michelin Guide AS WELL as a DK guide just to ensure my holiday is packed full with places to see and so i don't miss ANYTHING!
DK's Loire Valley guide gets the 5-star thumbs up from me!

The God Who Reveals Himself
People have all kinds of distorted impressions of God. As a result, their view of life is awry—for example, they may think life is just a matter of fate. But the Lord of the universe leaves nothing to chance.

Texas' premiere enduro racing series.
Texas' premiere enduro racing series.
An enduro is the ultimate test of man and machine. Riders follow a marked course for the first time on race day and experience a variety of terrain and special test length throughout the race. If you're looking for a great way to spend a day racing with your machine in the unknown, look no further.
TSCEC events are run as restart format enduros. This means that riders don't need confusing time keeping equipment or roll charts. Simply ride from test section to test section and enjoy ample free time before each test. In the rare occurrence that an event is a timekeeper, it will not pay TSCEC championship points.
The great thing about enduro racing is the unexpected challenges that are waiting around each corner. At TSCEC enduros there is no practice. Riders race over a well marked course which helps develop trail reading skills that will make any racer a better rider.
Let's face it, enduros are hard. Over time, you will find yourself progressing as a rider and racer from the challenges that will be experienced at TSCEC events.
Bring your riding buddies and race together!
Bring your riding buddies and race together!
One of the coolest parts about enduro racing is that a group of four-to-five riders leave the starting line together every minute. This is the same for the start of each special test. This is a great chance for a group of riding buddies to ride with each other all day long no matter what their skill level may be.
The family atmosphere that surrounds the Texas State Championship Enduro Circuit welcomes riders of all ages! Unique mini-enduros that are held on the day before the big race give younger racers the opportunity to learn valuable bike handling skills while their parents can keep a close eye over the entire course.
TSCEC offers the most diverse racing terrain in Texas.

When I was a young, obnoxious child, one of the many treats of visiting my grandparents' house was the chance to read an entirely new batch of comics. This was in the days before the Internet, when newspapers were pretty much the only game in town for comic strips, making a trip to a different town an opportunity to peruse completely different funny pages over the morning bowl of radioactive-colored, hyper-sugary cereal (one of the other treats of visiting my grandparents' house.) One of the comic strips in my grandparents' local paper was The Born Loser. I can't say that I loved it as much as U.S. Acres or Robotman, which it appeared next to, but then, I wasn't really its audience. Pop-eyed talking animals and wisecracking mechano-men were easier for me to relate to than the prosaic, everyday failures of beleaguered tea cozy flack Brutus Thornapple and his family. The strip's stark simplicity, both in its art and its jokes, and avoidance of '80s comic-strip gimmicks (the aforementioned talking animals, Reagan jokes, dangerously overweight cats) did make it stand out on the page, however. Decades later, when comics were available at the click of a mouse and I was old enough to make poisonously vivid cereal my primary source of sustenance, I became the editor of, among many other comics, The Born Loser, thus proving to my family that my six grueling years at the Comic Editing Korrespondence Kollege of American Samoa had not been a total loss. Even though more than two decades had passed since I last read it, I was surprised to find that it had changed not a whit -- the jokes were gentle, the art was gracefully minimal and Brutus Thornapple was still trying to make a go of it in the cutthroat tea cozy industry. The strip's creator, Art Sansom, had died in 1991, but his son, Chip, was ably carrying his legacy forward. Though the strip hadn't changed, I had, and where once I had found the strip less than relatable, now I found the gags about the daily struggles of office work, marriage and finding clean pants to be all too easy to understand. For most of us, adult life is the same thing over and over, and I think part of the reason for the strip's enduring popularity and staying power -- celebrating its 50th anniversary on May 10, it still runs in hundreds of papers and routinely comes in at or near the top in comics polls -- is that it mirrors its subject matter: the familiar and recurring foibles of humdrum life. Of course, there are many other factors at play when it comes to The Born Loser's appeal. There's the Dickensian perfection of the characters' names: Brutus' boss is named Rancid Veeblefester, his son Wilberforce and his dog Kewpie; the staunch middle-classness of the Thornapple milieu and the realistic depiction of the relationship between Brutus and his wife, Gladys, a marriage as full of bickering, annoyances and...

We here in the war room of GoComics HQ were struck by this cartoon, but couldn't say exactly why. Sure, there's the strange concept of the U.S. Navy accepting a sentient pretzel-person into its ranks, and the serendipity of this strip running just as the Northeast is buried in a metric butt-load of snow. And don't get us started about using one's own self-produced sodium as a method of de-icing. No, it was none of those run-of-the-mill, prosaic things. Just as we'd resigned ourselves to living forever in mystery and got ready to bed down for our mid-workday nap, we hit upon the reason: the scene's resemblance to several shots of John Wayne in John Ford's classic-smelling western "The Searchers." Here's one example: Framing Mr. Salty through a doorway, just as Ford did Wayne's tortured antihero, brings out the tragic undercurrent that was always lurking in wait. Though Salty's wife (or mistress?) beckons him inside, we know he'll always remain out in the cold, a crunchy snack without a ship, dusting off parts of himself to temporarily melt the hoarfrost of a harsh and unfeeling world.

Respond to Review of REMOVED: Escotilha Bar
by DutchGirl
Review: In July 2012 we had dinner at the Escotilha Bar. The location was great and had a nice view of the ocean. I had garlic bread for a starter, which tasted good. There was no veggie wrap on the menu, but they did have the veggie burger. The burger was a asparagus filled breadcrumb covered fried disk on a bun with lettuce and tomato slices. I could not say that it tasted bad, but in my opinion it had no real flavor, so I would not recommend it. The French fries that came with it were good.

Parents parking in my space on school run.(208 Posts)
A car park space comes with my house, its marked with my house number there are signs up saying private land do not park. They can't put bollards up as business next door has two spaces for customers.
Every morning and night parents park there for up to twenty minutes plus waiting for children.
This means if i come back in the car i have to park three streets away then move it back onto my space which i pay for when they are gone. this is annoying enough but last week my disabled DM had to park 10 minutes walk away as someone was in the space.
School have sent a letter home, council wont do anything as its private land, landlord has put signs up.
I wouldn't mind but they drive dangerously, pull into car park at speed, park on double yellow lines.
What can i do if anything?
Oh Op and others -well I've lived here for 10 years. first 3 had no idea as at work 24/7 only when stopped to have baby saw the shite. I live in block of flats - low rise and comprising of three blocks with drive up the middle - PRIVATE DRIVE. And there's also a back block of garages with parking onto another road.
The first issue was that an elderly neighbour was telling a man he shouldn't park there. He was telling her 'f'off' - I was horrified so ran to her aid. The man still parked there day after day. So I informed the school. Same stuff. Kept informing them - they were getting bored of me. Numerous incidences since including the day before my ds was scheduled to be induced - couple of children on our land banging footballs against my door - I go out - am abused by the mother. Nice. When ds was 2 I had to block another man in my parking - he went ballistic and he threatened to kill me - he was a governor of the school. Also nice
DS and I on foot outside our door trying to cross the road and school driver trying to nudge us out of the way to get into our drive. My dh has actually had to adjust his working patterns as to not get home at that time as he needs to keep driving around the block until all the school runners have finished parking either across on in our space.
School know, council know. They do nothing and are increasing the problem.
I've given up. I don't anticipate anyone doing anything (as they do it all the time) but if I'm out and about and I encounter I give them some choice words. My only recompense is that I can give them some grief, sometimes. I am not ashamed - they deserve it.
We also have people stomping past my flat through as a back way to another street. It is private property. Stomping up my path that leads to my home - dropping litter. I've had tutt tutting from school mum's when I slowed down on my own path with my pram to my own front door for holding them up and they 'shock horror' have to then tread on the grass (on private land) to get past me. On one ocassion one woman was so angry with me she got her little boy (at the school) to knock my washing over at the back. The most hilarious one was when my dh was woken up the sounds of massive laughter and yelling. Looks out our window and there were 3 mums outside our door sitting on our bench we put outside our home for a party we had the week before having a preschool gossip! Not joking.
You might be wondering where I live. I live in an affluent area near a v. good school. Parents are professional people in most cases.
So OP - this is just one manifestation of people's entitlement that is sadly being playing out on your drive. Unless you can get our immediate community together to give these people a nasty shock there is very little you can do that won't cause you grief and upset.
i agree. there's not much the school can do.
i do think the wheel clamping is a good idea. they'll stop pretty sharpish.
I wouldn't complain to the school. Why is it their problem to sort out? These people could quite easily be using the business premises next door anyway.
At DSs First School the Head would not get involved at all in the parking debacle that went on twice a day. Except to put 'please park considerately' in every newsletter.
My DS's school started naming and shaming bad and dangerous parkers in the monthly newsletter by printing the number plates and description of the car. That definitely seemed to help.
Some of the mums at DD's school have complete brass necks when it comes to parking. Things got so bad the school asked any neighbours with complaints to take photos of offenders parking over driveways etc, and they were going to email them round to all parents to name and shame. Doesn't sound like your school would be so hardline, but maybe you should take up the suggestion earlier of posting photos on FB and asking your friends to share so it goes viral.
I think the head should stand by the car parking spot at pick up time for a few days. He probably could resolve the issue if he pulled his finder out.
Every time someone blocks you in, email the head the details (with photo if you can).
block them in and leave a note on the windscreen 'this parking place belongs to number 7' Then be very slow to move your car so they can get out.
Still think you should charge them an extortionate amount - put the signs up specifying the charge time is for use during school drop off times, maybe the option of a slightly cheaper pre- arranged price but still bloody expensive (say £50 or £30)
Take photos of them in the space and then record yourself asking them for payment and see what they say. Then put it all on fb and twitter and follow up asking for payment to show you are serious. Oh and stick it into the school newsletterthat that's what you are doing.
Also get the business on board - see if they would be able to spare someone at peak parking time if you can't - who could stand at the entrance to the car park and charge people as they go in to park (free to their customers obviously!)
So you need to up your game. Your parents should have blocked them in, blocked the whole car park and then hopefully they'd have been embarrassed about stealing a space you fund in order that they can park when they visit you.
Do you have any scary looking, preferably male friends? I know you shouldn't have to resort to this, but I think they would take more notice I'd they felt there was a bigger threat to them/their car.
Still absolutely infuriating for you.
Put a notice saying anyone parking there will have there tyres let down, then let there tyres down
What about a sign reading "this is a private parking space and I cannot accept any resposibility for any oss or damage to your car, however caused (and I have a f*** big baseball bat!!)"
I'd be tempted to put up a sign saying "Anyone who parks here will have Inconsiderate Bastard" sprayed on their car with shaving foam". Then do it. Word will get around.
I haven't read all the posts on this one, but how about a box of very sharp tacks spread over your drive when you leave. Bet you'd only have to do it once!
It was very public, at least ten cars with people getting in, they were also pulled on the pavements right up to the house where they had been no car park space, they did not look like they gave a shit to be honest even when I said I hoped their need to sit in their car doing their make up was great enough to prevent a disabled person from accessing a car park space that was paid for for THEM to use.
Hope it worked! Was it a very public strop? Did they look at all embarressed?
I have just had a complete strop in the car park basically that they all could not read the five HUGE signs saying private property which was worrying when they were driving with children either that or they were just damn ignorant and that my disabled parents had had to park five houses away because they couldn't walk five houses to the school carpark.
Three cars were trying to pull out and I walked as slowly as I could in the middle of the car park with dd all the way to the house so they had to wait ages for me to move as I was directly in front of them on foot before they could get out.
There was a Porsche Cayenne parked across two spaces in the crowded village car park, one day. I took a photo and reported to the Parish Council, who said they couldn't do anything. So I put it all over Facebook & Twitter. I don't know if the message got through to the driver, but it felt good anyway!
Very large fake dog turds on the tarmac?
A big sign saying "Car parking charge - £50 per minute."
A sign saying "for every unauthorised car parked here, a kitten will die."
Or speak to the school and say you will add £1 for every day your space is left free to the school charitable fund, i.e. maximum £5 per week. However, the fund goes back to zero if someone parks there. So if someone parks there on a Friday the school gets nothing.
Very sticky notes, post or speaking to PCSO all sound like good options to me. How bloody annoying and rude though!!
This is where Facebook and Twitter are your friends.
Start an FB group called something like "Lazy Parkers @ XX School". Invite all your local friends to join. Post pictures of the offenders on the page, get other locals to add their pictures of people parking in private spaces.
Turn it all into a big joke at the expense of the lazy buggers.
AnneElliott - wow, I wouldn't mess with you.
Giveit, what did you do about the woman nudging you out of the way, reading it I want to take a shovel to her car.
OP, how about a really, really dirty dustbin, garden waste type thing that no one wants to touch without gloves, (keep a pair in your car just for moving it) Loving the sandwich board idea as well, with a really rude message on it.
Whenever I read these threads I can feel my heartbeat rise because I get so angry at the gall, selfishness and in some cases fucking obnoxiousness of some people in risking the lives and safety of other peoples children who they then see in the school playground. Who are these people?
I'm thankful that DS's school isn't that bad, when we lived near another school in an city suburb the parking was awful, dangerous as some parents didn't care about the safety of other children and swore at the HT who tried to get them to park safely.
Those "flashpeel" stickers look fabulous! I want some to stick on the cars of the twats who park on the yellow zig zags outside school
Yes they are always in their cars but I usually can't even get into the carpark to challenge them because its that busy, they just pull in where ever if car park spaces are taken and I have to go straight for dd. By the time I get back usually they have gone (dd is sen and forgets everything and teacher speaks to me most nights)
Im waiting for community police to ring me and I currently have owner of business park in my space so they can't take it!
A sandwich board with feck off should do it. Well you'd hope so.

Last week I stumbled across The Behavioral Economics Guide, 2015 (which you can find here).
I'm kind of a Daniel Kahneman/Dan Ariely junkie so I immediately started scrolling through it looking for articles of interest. And there, on page 8…big score! A graphic that plots the relative Google search frequency of the term "customer satisfaction" against the search frequency of the term "customer experience."
Here's why this chart floats my boat: For two years – from 2008 to 2010 – we see the terms coexisting as if people couldn't quite make up their minds as to whether they were really different or not. Then in 2010 – pow! "Customer experience" starts shooting up like a rocket while "customer satisfaction" takes a deep dive.
(Coincidentally, in 2011 the attendance at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum NYC shot up to over 1,300 people on site, from just over 800 people on site in 2010. That led us to add a CX Forum West -- now CX Forum San Francisco -- and CX Forum Europe starting in 2012)Read more

Comments about 'Is expansion in the Pac-12's future? Not for now'

President Ray said, "The Pac-12 essentially had three criteria when it
considered expansion: All schools would have to remain on equal footing, it
would have to make financial sense, and it could not diminish the conference's
academic brand."
I am so proud that the University of Utah was held to these standards, passed the test, and is now a member of the PAC-12!
Go Utes. This Saturday - we're serving dog.

This is why if the Big XII wants to remain a BCS conference, it'd better expand
to at least 12 immediately (not in 3-5 years), and maybe even 14, or it'll again
be a target of the Pac-12 when 16-team superconferences occur.
If the Big XII were to stablize, and the Big East become defunct, 16-team superconferences might not happen; instead, 14-team superconferences could. Which would allow all current BCS schools to retain their standing, while promoting a few deserving mid-majors. (It'd take 70 teams to do five 14-team conferences, and there are currently 67-68 BCS teams.)
The Utes better enjoy playing the coastal teams before any superconference stuff happens.

Glad to see the Pac-12 stand at 12. I think superconferences are the dream of the media, and not the way that conferences really want to go. Still, very odd that the SEC formalized accepting Texas A&M. Maybe they are ready to cut loose Vanderbilt...

I would like to see a break down of the financials that were eluded to as "money being left on the table". As I look at the PAC 12 I can see both AZ schools not wanting to play in a division with the Tx, Ok, Co, and Utah schools and missing the CA schools voting against their entry, and likewise for Co. and Utah. The kicker comes when Cal and Stanford are against it for academics and USC, Oregon, and UCLA for revenue sharing. (ie. the LHN) By my count six to nine potential votes against this expansion. If this was the feeling, then no need to take a vote at all. Hence the PAC 12 statement.

The PAC 12 needs to settle for a few years so the true programs can again rise to the top, some schools can get past penalties and sanctions for committing NCAA violations, and the true bottom-feeders appear. And yes, in a 12-team league, there will be bottom feeders. (Possibly two of them have campuses at high altitudes, not close to sea level.)

I did a search on Harken in Sep 96 using Compassby Quarterdeck. The article you linked floated tothe surface along with a lot of other stuff thatfloats. The web has an extraordinary number of poordemented sickos because of the anonymity.The mostentertaining article in that bin went on for over 100 pages.Talk about obsessed! I guess I must have some kind ofproblem myself because I read or skimmed most of them.Actually, it was hilarious, sort of like the super dumbmovie Black Hole.Did you know that our spaceprogram since the 1st Moon landing has been a fraud? Atthat time we made contact with a Saurian race that hadbeen living on the dark side of the Moon for a longtime. Ever since then our government on Earth has beenmore or less of a shadow operation for the Saurians.Of course, George Bush was a key player in all ofthat. I do not recall how. My memory works much betterwith logical structures I can recreate, and this didnot fit the model.Do not underestimate themindless drivel you are likely to read from the Bushhaters. I did not spend much time trying to determine whythey hate him so much - id as a conservative orientedRepublican or whatever. It may be that there are a greatmany others who attract the same or greater attention.It is just that the attention given Bush caught meby surprise because, in my view, he was never astrong force for much of anything. You know, troubled bythe "vision thing". The caretaker president whodidn't take care of the rather nice business heinherited from the guy who did have the vision and thetrust in his people to get it moving.

Hi all!
When I open an image in lightbox, the menu on the front page still appears on top of the lightbox... Here's a screenshot. How can I fix this?
Hi all!
When I open an image in lightbox, the menu on the front page still appears on top of the lightbox... Here's a screenshot. How can I fix this?
What plugin are you using for that? And is the IMAGE the view of your profile or are you actually viewing your interactive profile?
I'm using shadow box. I don't understand exactly what your asking on the second question, but I've added a rel="lightbox" to the users profile link so that the profile opens in a lightbox (just as a regular image would do, except that it is a page). This way subscribers can update their profile without getting lost in the back-end of wordpress.
The only problem is, as i posted, that the menu stays in front of the light box :/
1) Please LINK to the plugin. I'm not gonna troll through the millions of plugins that use 'shadow box' as a tag/desc to find yours ;) Help a sister out.
2) The screenshot shows what LOOKS like the WP admin area in the middle, with the menu in front of the lightbox. I'm trying to sort of if that WP Admin area is the image you're trying to display.
I've added a rel="lightbox" to the users profile link so that the profile opens in a lightbox (just as a regular image would do, except that it is a page).
That tells me that I THINK you're actually showing the interactive WP admin back end page VIA the shadowbox application. Is that correct?
If so, does this problem happen with a NORMAL image?
Sorry about that :PHere's the plugin I use.
2) you are absolutely correct, I am showing the interactive wp admin back end via the shadowbox application!
Just to check I now tried with just a normal image and it's still the same problem.
Thanks for fast replies =)
I tagged the post for that author :)
Does that happen on any other theme? It's probably a problem with CSS, or a JS conflict.
Sorry for late reply!
I haven't tried with any other themes. My page is developed quite far so I don't dare to try change the theme. But I had the same issue with another plug-in (a dropdown menu).
It seems to me that it should be quite simple for a person with knowledge of css to fix it, but I just don't know myself :P
Then you need to make a test site and test with another theme. This is standard debugging (and why many of us keep a local host install identical to our production one ;) - quick tests).
Can you link to a page that demonstrates the problem? It's often just a z-index issue on the dropdown CSS.
I'll try to establish a local test side during the day.
Here's the link to my page. Klikk the little "test link" button above the big blue button.
Thanks for help!
#navigation li {
background: url("images/navigation-line.gif") no-repeat scroll right center transparent;
float: left;
height: 45px;
padding: 0 2px 0 0;
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;
Drop the z-index value down to 90.
Thanks so much! Had to take it down to 80 but that did the trick =) Hurray!!

where do i buy replacement ink cartridge(s)?
- Asked by Todd K from West Hollywood
Epson Expression Premium XP-610 AirPrint Printer
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
This printer uses the same cartridges as many other HP models, so most likely you will find cartridges where cartridges are generally found. Buying online is also an option. Avoid cartridges whom are not made by HP/Canon/Epson etc, most cartridges have a electronic chip which identifies them as the "real deal", if this chip is not recognized properly, printer will refuse to use the cartridges. It usually also voids the warranty for the product. (applies to all brands)

Bio: Since 1999 the Last Call Brawlers have seamlessly blended Rockabilly, Punk and Surf into their own brand of Rock-n-Roll. Never worrying about what is in style, what critics might say, and always playing from the heart. Last Call Brawlers have released everything from "straight up" Rockabilly albu...See Full Bio
"Tucson's Last Call Brawlers have been pigeonholed into the outrageously silly rockabilly ghetto since they started playing shows almost 14 years ago. It's both a falsehood and a shame, because they have so much more to offer than revisionist greaser/pin-up fantasies. The quartet has a lot more in common with early 80's L.A. punks like X and the Gun Club than Gene Vincent or Eddie Cochran. Unlike other rockabilly-revivalists, the Last Call Brawlers are not so narrow minded as to ignore the rest of six decades of rock 'n' roll history to be a caricature or a prop at a bar. So just ignore the haircuts, because this band is ferocious while remaining relaxed and inviting. The Last Crawl Brawlers play party music and they deliver. I don't remember how many songs they played, or any of the titles. What I left with was the exhilaration of hearing a band playing timeless, vital music, with them loving it as much as I did. "

Great storage with great prices!! Very friendly and helpful office workers!!Anthony from Tickfaw, LA
Staff knew my name and that I was expected. Both on the phone and in the office I could not have been better treated and served. A+ on all points! I will continue to use this facility in the futureDonald from Arlington Heights, IL
I was suprised how pleased I would be after the experance I had with one of your competitors. Great job from all your employees, keep up the excellant service.Gary from Denham Springs, LA
Before making a decision about where to store my items I read reviews about several different storage place. Uncle Bob's storage had very good reviews and I was not disappointed at all. Michelle was fantastic and very helpful. This is not my first time using a storage unit but this is the first time I have been this happy with a place. I am pregnant and due in a couple of months, Michelle went so far as to ask me to bring my little boy to see her sometime after he was born. So many places don't take the time to get to know there customers this place is not one of them!Sunshine from Independence, LA
I can't say enough good things about this company. I had my unit almost 3yrs and I never had a problem. When I was moving out I didn't have anyone to help me on that last day and I called and was told that I had until the 5th of the month to empty it out. She was so nice about it and I was so glad to have the extra days.Sarah from D. S., LA
What a pleasure it is these days to work with a business who is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond the call to make a customer feel satisfied and happy. I'm in my 70's and had never had the need to rent a storage locker before....it was all new to me, but both Jayme and Connie made me feel comfortable, assuring me my personal belonging would be fine and safe. Knowing I could call on them at any time if the need arises, was also very re-assuring. Thank you for taking the time to put my mind at ease.Laura from Greenwell Springs, LA
Hillary in the front office is wonderful! She was always so happy and always had a smile on her face! Its people like her who make it worth doing business with! Not only did she remember my name but she greeted me by first name every time she saw me! Thanks for a job well done!!!Meredith from Denham Springs, LA
I am more than satisfied with my service & rental at Uncle Bob's. I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.Sylvia from Ponchatoula, LA
Always a great experience at the uncle bobs on hwy. 16, I would and have recommended uncle bobs storage to family and friends.Bonnie from Hammond, LA
Sometimes there are no carts to assist with bringing boxes from my car to my unit.Mary "Beth" from Denham Springs, LA

But, in all seriousness my griping stems from the fact that I have expressed my concerns tirelessly, which has fallen on deaf ears, so to say.
From my own 'entitled' selfish perspective, i don't feel inclined to help those who refuse to help themselves or to better the situation. Does that make me a crazy person for feeling this way?
I wouldn't mind pooling resources if everyone involved were willing to contribute their time and energy to assisting this plan.
Like i said, originally, i barely even know anything about survivalist skills/etc
Anonymous Coward 7091719
We all think we have the right idea, and so when our ideas are not accepted, we feel wronged. Instead I would encourage you to find a collaborative approach of working with people and understanding that you don't possess the Truth.
If you don't make the first move to help in an unselfish way, then how will community ever begin? Didn't some people in your history help you even though there was nothing in it for them? Doesn't that mean that since you have gratitude, you might help a stranger following their example?
If you've ever worked on a community garden, many people will help the first week when it's exciting, and then as the routine chores of weeding, mulching, water, pest control, come along...less and less people show up. Then more people come back around harvest time, but sadly often food doesn't get picked and simply rots on the vine or gets woody instead of lots of delicious baby veggies.
Usually a "ramrod" will come along and that person takes charge and realizes that a lot of people will do something but have no passion. In Nature, certain creatures have special abilities, and they focus their attention on doing that. A mud dauber makes great clay containers for their young, but can't make paper. Vice versa, a paper wasp makes great paper, but can't mold clay. Not everyone has talents, but a shaman broadcasts various talents and teaches, and so that falls on some fertile soil and some people learn it.
Someone must be willing to roll up their sleeves and be serene and gently teach. Not everyone is meant to teach, and being a dedicated learner is a good thing. Many people will mentor you in a talent if you are patient, polite, ask good questions, listen, and be grateful. Then it's up to you to pass it on.
There are so many resources today on preparedness and bushcraft and homesteading. It's really staggering and I'm in a state of awe at the tireless altruism of most preppers. Those are the kind souls who really make up the movement, not these bizarro wackjobs that are on tv. They're the ones categorizing plants to make dyes from natural materials. They're the ones who painstakingly photograph and video herbs and research illness and symptoms and how to prepare a poltice or a tincture.
Use the links to open the doorway of your mind and begin learning. No matter what your age, 7-90, you can learn these skills.

Graveman's pitching powers Miss. State to CWS finalsPublished 3:07pm Tuesday, June 25, 2013
It's like déjà vu all over again.
That's one way Kendall Graveman and the Mississippi State Bulldogs could possibly describe their second victory over the Oregon State Bulldogs, by a score of 4-1.
Like the first game, the Alexander City native Graveman started on the mound. Similar to their previous meeting, Graveman's outing was salvaged by solid work from the bullpen.
But that's where the similarities end, as this time, Graveman got the victory for the Bulldogs (51-18) and with it, put Mississippi State into the College World Series finals for the first time in school history.
This is the sixth time a Southeastern Conference school has earned a spot in the CWS finals.
The Bulldogs will face UCLA for the national championship.
For now, the spotlight is on the senior Graveman, who went 5.2 innings.
While Graveman only fanned two batters and walked one, he gave up just one run on four hits, using off-speed pitching to leave the Beavers befuddled in the batter's box.
Mississippi State head baseball coach John Cohen said the right-hander's command was influential to the Bulldogs' victory.
"The story of the ballgame is Kendall Graveman shoving the ball in the strike zone," he said. "He changed speeds and filled the strike zone."
Graveman said he was able to draw upon his earlier outing against Oregon State to figure out what he needed to do to get outs.
"To see them the other day was very big for me," Graveman said. "It's different than seeing a team on video. I feel like there are some things I can go to. I tried to mix up speeds and get some guys off-balance."
With the victory, Graveman improved to 8-5 on the year. It was also moved the Bulldogs to 3-0 during their current trip in Omaha, which is the most wins by MSU in a single College World Series in the school's history.
Game one of the CWS final between Mississippi State and UCLA took place on Monday. The Outlook will have more coverage as it relates to Graveman's outings at the CWS when it is made available.

NBA schedule released, but will it be played?
Where things get tricky if games are lost is settling on a system that maintains fairness. The schedule's current setup sees teams play 82 games, 41 at home and 41 on the road. Teams play opponents from opposite conferences twice each season, once at home and once on the road, and play the remaining intra-conference rivals either three or four times.
If a partial schedule has to be used, the league must keep balance so that teams won't gain an unfair advantage such as additional home games or fewer games against teams in their own conference. Such benefits could have damaging effects on the game, wrecking the tiebreaker system for postseason positioning in the short term and ruining the season's credibility in the long term.
On Tuesday, the cloud of confusion and uncertainty with the schedule overshadowed statewide anticipation for what could be a championship season for the Thunder. Rather than enjoying the usual ecstasy of finally eyeing the home opener — Nov. 4 against Indiana — fans can't be sure if anything next season is what it appears.
The Thunder already has begun informing its season-ticket holders of its plan to offer refunds with interest if games are ultimately lost. The organization also is allowing season ticket members to keep their money on their accounts as a credit that also is eligible for interest.
The Thunder also announced on Tuesday that it is scheduled to play a seven-game preseason schedule. OKC is tentatively scheduled to play New Orleans on Oct. 17 in Wichita, Kan., in what is considered a home game and will face Denver in its annual preseason tilt in Tulsa on Oct. 21. The Thunder also is scheduled to play two exhibition games inside Oklahoma City Arena, first hosting Charlotte on Oct. 14 before wrapping up its preseason slate against San Antonio on Oct. 27.
A look at a few highlights of the Thunder's 2011-12 schedule.
* The Thunder is scheduled for 27 nationally televised games across the ESPN (nine), TNT (eight), NBA TV (eight) and ABC (two) networks.
* The Thunder is one of only two nationally televised games scheduled for opening night on Nov. 1. OKC will travel to Los Angeles to face the Lakers.
* The home opener is Nov. 4 against Indiana.
* Kobe Bryant and the Lakers make two visits to Oklahoma City, the first on Wednesday, Nov. 23 and the second on Sunday, April 8.
* Blake Griffin and the L.A. Clippers make two visits to Oklahoma City, the first on March 21 and the second on April 11.
* The Thunder will host a New Year's Eve game for the fourth consecutive season. This year, the Thunder will play Phoenix at 7 p.m.
* The longest home stand is five games, from Dec. 29 through Jan. 8. The Thunder will play Dallas, Phoenix, Portland, Houston and San Antonio during that stretch.
* The longest road trip is four games. But the Thunder has three four-game trips, one in December, one in January and one in February.
* The Thunder's home schedule includes 13 Friday games, 10 Sunday games, nine Wednesday games, four Tuesday games, three Monday games, one Thursday game and one Saturday game.
* No. 1 overall pick Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers come to town on March 9.
* The Thunder will not play a Christmas Day game this year.
* The Thunder-Celtics game on Jan. 16 will be featured as the first game of a TNT double-header on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
* The Thunder is scheduled to play 19 back-to-back games. The team had 17 last season.
*All Thunder games that are not shown on TNT or ABC will be broadcast on Fox Sports Oklahoma.
