Plagiarized quotes and common thoughts. Forever capricious only child with a love for common sense.
Holy ship a talking muffin! I like to keep it simple at home. A minimalist but warmth in the presence of my few colorful possession. Appreciate little things like hot showers, days off, language, good neighbors, kind people and "makers/shepherds". I shop the farmers market and try to buy all my food/flora there. I like to host nights out on my lake, poker/ eucher, grilling, taking dinner on the pontoon, and cool nights Kissing under stars. INTP Interests: In addition to the listed generic stuff, I like to design homes and cities and their contextual regulations (which is my hobby/job) Heck I like to do just about everything except night clubs and theft. Old school athletic spirit; play till you're broken. Cant fix a car but can mend a home. I don't shop Walmart. I like yummy home made hard cider. Hockey. Definitely an environmentalist, dislike American consumerism and the IRS, people who purposely undermine others. I set goals I will die trying to accomplish. No tv. No drama. No lying or manipulation, gossip or any of that typical social bull. I won't be apart of that. NPR fan - usually. Romantic? Sometimes. A bit stubborn and slightly demanding of those I love most. Amenable and civil. Have a robust laugh. Wit over sarcasm. Fluxuating energy that confuses me. Still disappointed by: greed, pollution, unnecessary violence, religion, lack of population control, slow progress when new ideas should prevail, and poorly formed arguments. What attributes I like in a woman?: Socially liberal(ish) fiscally responsible, ATHLETIC, musically inclined. Artistic, adventurous, goofy, independent but loyal, stable, open for discussion. Nothing is taboo. Easy on the eyes. Has a disdain for the normal. Slightly intoxicated on self-awareness. Only wants to be with someone who respects themselves. Then sees a good genetic balance. Plans long term with room for craziness. SUMMATION: country club class with a suicide girl kinkiness Fair warning, traditional dating is boring. Adventure isn't. Dinner? No. Lets rob a bank.... or tennis or soccer in the park would be better. Tandem canoeing always brings out the worst in couples which is a good start. Jet skiing. Building a house with habitat. Art fair. Comedy show. Being an anarchist. Going to a SOUP group. I don't believe relationships need be forever, just long enough to fulfill each other. Nor do they need love (although good to have). They should also have an exit strategy. Maybe someone else has a mutual curiosity about a new "way". I Don't treat anyone at arms length (except ninjas and stupid people) which means I'll be candid and we'll have fun and explore our dark sides. Yes. Let your guard down or go away. I loathe the "test you out faze." I want to experience you in in the natural state. Unless that means you don't shave. You gotta do that.

By Matt English, IBM Global Business Services and Mike Handes IBM Software Group.
Over the years, organisations have faced several tipping points that herald new ways of both operating and delivering value. The growth of the internet in the 90s and the expansion of e-business in the early 2000s represent two recent examples. But now, another tipping point is rapidly approaching (and some would argue is already here) and that is the growing wave of social business. But how significant is this shift? Does social business represent just another channel to manage in dealing with customers and stakeholders? Or is it something more fundamental in the way businesses are run and value is delivered?
In a recent article (Turning social media into social business), the above authors painted a picture of the changes required in moving to a social business - from customer dialogue to customer intimacy - from product information to product innovation - and from stakeholder connection to stakeholder collaboration.
Underpinning these changes however is the need for organisations to view social business as a strategic weapon rather than simply the opportunity to try different channels. Indeed, organisations that view social business as just channel enhancement, may miss the boat when it comes to extracting real value from this emerging way of doing business.There is a bigger strategic perspective here. Organisations need to consider how social business can impact what they do and not just how they do it. Right now, social business can have a profound strategic impact on the business model in three interrelated ways.
First, social business can help to transform or re-shape an entire industry. Take the print media industry for example. Social tools have re-shaped what the industry does and the way it operates. This is an example of an industry having to change by necessity in order to maintain relevance and to simply survive! No longer is the media industry just a push model for information, news or other content. Rather, it is now very much an industry which is interactive and which provides for a real time two way flow of information and opinion. This is not only impacting the nature of the content, but is radically transforming the speed with which it is produced and distributed. Sourcing of content from "on the ground sources" has also rapidly changed given the growing pervasiveness of social tools in the hands of people across the broader community.
A second strategic angle is for social business to drive change in the way an organisation operates. The airline JetBlue in the US is a case in point. The airline actively uses Twitter for customer care issues. With a mobile customer base and some 1.6 million followers on Twitter, the airline realised that quick response to customer issues or queries was a key strategic lever. The airline engages in real time conversations with its customers and provides real time advice. For example, some recent Tweets such as "Please know we are doing everything we can to get you up and on your way soon" and "Please make sure you contact the Baggage Service Office in the destination airport" provide customers with immediate guidance and feedback, but in the context of a real time conversation . The key point here is there is a public conversation with the customer as well as delivering a solution to an individual issue or query. Additionally the very nature of the interaction has changed from one of reactive to pro-active. This provides a major shift in the customers perception of the responsiveness of the organisation. In Australia, the Queensland Police estimate that by virtue of their use of social media their communications with the public have shifted from 90% reactive to 70% pro-active!
Thirdly, social business can have a profound impact on the way that revenue streams are developed and grown. US fashion retailer Nordstrom has recently sought to develop an iPad app, and reached out to its Twitter followers with the question "What features would you like to see in the app?" Whilst the initial focus is on the app, the underlying strategy of driving greater mobile and e-business revenue is clear.
There is no doubt that social business brings to the table new channels in the way that connections are made between a wide range of customers and stakeholders, and a different and more demanding expectation in responsiveness. But whilst this is important, focusing on channels alone can be a limiting factor for organisations, and can be a constraint on driving more value from social business.
So the call to action for organisations is to ask some key questions about the strategic fit of social business into the way they deliver value. Organisations should strongly focus on the business model that will drive value, and should shape their thinking along three dimensions:
These will help organisations focus on the broader business model issues and not just on channel enhancements via social media.

I voted the Buy and sell option. Buy young players and players to help now and in the future. Sell off any Vets or players that are not expected to help or if what is offered is to good to pass up.
Buy, even if the Reds aren't that good, no else is either
Sell, baby, sell, the slide has started and it's not going to stop
Buy/sell, sell vets and prospects to acquire young guys who can help in 2006 and beyond
I voted the Buy and sell option. Buy young players and players to help now and in the future. Sell off any Vets or players that are not expected to help or if what is offered is to good to pass up.
In order for this team to BUY, they are gonna have to SELL to a certain degree.
And as far as I'm concerned - there isn't too much they can sell off that would really hurt/damage this team in the long run.
I'm really not too concerned about this year. Of course I'd love to see it happen; but I'm not gonna get upset if it doesn't as long as I feel Castellini/Krivsky are moving us in the right direction (and I think they are).
I'm not saying the below are untouchable, but I'd do my best to retain them...
Dunn, Arroyo, Harang, Coffey, Encarnacion, Phillips, Ross.
The rest are fodder IMO. And we are "stuck" with Jr.
Whatever makes it work Wayne.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
You don't pick the year, the year picks you.
the team needs pitching...trading away arroyo and / or harang only pushes you back a couple of steps...offer up dunn and see what kind of quality pitching you can get for him...and i don't mean prospects...
I don't know if Coffey and Ross belong on your list, but I otherwise agree. Nobody is untouchable, but the other guys should be players the Reds are very reluctant to lose, absent a great offer.Originally Posted by GAC
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
The only reason I put them on the list is because you need to retain a catcher (obviously), and LaRue IMO is highly expendable (if we can find a suc....errr.... taker).Originally Posted by RedsBaron
Out of this BP, Coffey is young and the only one I'd even consider retaining.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Buyers without question. This team is almost there and to become sellers at this point would be a travesty.
Sorry. But I have to go with "SELL". I do agree if we "bought" a couple of pitchers, the Reds do have a great chance of winning the Central/or Wildcard, but beyond that I believe the pennant is out of reach.
Sorry to be down. But the good news is I have been wrong before.
I've never really bought into that line of thinking. It always struck me as another way of saying the team can only expect to win by getting extremely lucky.Originally Posted by 15fan
Anyway, I'm not so sure the year is picking the Reds. Yeah the league is mired in mediocrity, but the Reds still don't strike me as a team likely to take advantage of it.
Personally I'm in favor of option #3. If the team gets a guy like Brandon McCarthy (picking a name out of a hat here), it can claim it's "going for it" while still loading up for the next two seasons, which strikes me as the time when the Reds can actually pick their year and luck be damned.

In general, I think "buying or selling" is a false dilemma.
To a degree you're right. It's really more a matter of whether you want to acquire pieces just for 2006 or for later years or go after some hybrid solutions. I'm hybridding it.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer

Problem is, it's not really a "lateral" move. We're walking into a 7-11 trying to pay with Rubles instead of Dollars. The exchange rate on what we have (bats) vs. what we need (arms) just doesn't calculate out in our favor.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer
I agree -- this team can (and should) make moves designed to put them in a better position to compete today and down the road. The problem I see is that they simply don't have the capital to buy their way out of the problems that exist on the team to make it as successful as it needs to be RIGHT NOW to compete for a post-season run.
You've gotta ask yourself:
1.) What is tradeable in this organization that will bring the value back that the team needs to compete?
2.) How much of it can I trade before I hit the ol' Law of Diminishing Returns (i.e. the amount of runs I'm saving with better pitching isn't enough to cover the run production I'm losing trading players)?
3.) How much of the future am I willing to sacrafice for a chance at outrunning the Cardinals and Brewers today?
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Sell everything all the way down to VSL Reds.
it could only work if you can identify undervalued/underutilized talent. Try getting players that seemed to have fallen out of favor with their current franchise. Players like Davis(cleveland), Floyd(Philly), Wuertz(Chicago), etc.Originally Posted by Caveat Emperor

And I'm okay saying, "The postseason may come or not; the first order of business is shifting what we have in abundance (several high grade offensive players that some teams will pay dearly for) for what we lack (young AND veteran pitching talent)."
I think where the armchair GMs get tangled up is in the singleminded dream of acquiring young, on-the-cusp-of-superstardom pitching talent; going for that strictly limits SO many opportunities.

Lion Update Crash
1 Attachment(s)
Testement to how good my Imac is this the first time I've posted with an issue. I've had my Imac since 2006 with no issues until now.
Basically the last OSX Lion updated failled half way thru and killed my Imac dead. I managed to get everything off my HDD that I needed and refromated the drive,
Imac is now stuck in Ultillity mode, i really don't want to reinstal Lion biut it seems like its the only optionI still have my Snow leopard install disk.
Anyone have a work around for this, I miss my mac.
If you don't want to reinstall Lion, you can boot from your Snow Leopard DVD by holding down Option as you turn on the computer and selecting the DVD as the boot option.
You really should reinstall Lion, however.

Needed to replace an older model and it was in the budget and had all the features we were looking for like the steam and energy efficient model in black. Installed myself using a universal hose kit. With exception that the drain hose was larger than the connection at the disposal which was resolved with a screw hose clamp, very easy to install and it is much quieter than we were expecting. I would prefer to complete another review after we use it for a month to get a more realistic satisfaction with the product instead of completing this after one wash cycle.
Most Liked Negative Review
Standard unit; nothing exciting.
The installer was pleasant, professional and efficient. This dishwasher should not be marketed as "quiet."

Quiet and cleans everything
By My GE DW
from Kansas City, KS, United States
Comments about GE White Built-In Dishwasher:
Its quiet and cleans everything. The controls are easy to read, even on a black cover. It has multiple water options, best is auto-sense to control how much water is needed to clean. It also has a delay timer to go if you don't want to clean right away.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's quiet, efficient and meets my every need!
By Freed Up
from Adelphi, MD, United States
It's a breath of fresh air! Easy to operate. It's quiet, fast and gets the dishes sparkling!
Only used once and it leaks from the bottom.
By BrettK
from Buffalo, NY, United States
Bought a home (5/28/15) that was never lived in (built in 2013) and the Dishwasher was never used. We went to use it the first time and it leaks from the pump. Very disappointed. The rest of the appliances match and now we are stuck with a broken dishwasher.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great buy!!
By RoxieC
from Warrensburg, MO
This unit has been a been much better than expected. We were continually having to rewash dishes from our old dishwasher and have had no problems with this GE dishwasher. This unit is very quite, to the point that if you're not in the kitchen you don't hear it running. It has a convenient "CLEAN" light to let you know when the wash is complete. The only thing I wish is it could put the dishes away.

I just received the dishwasher on June 2. It was easy to install. It looks very nice on the inside and outside. So as of right now I do not have other recommendations. I can not really rate the performance since I have just bought the product. I can say it is very quiet when running. So far no issues.

Error at command-line: Unable to run Java program after successful compilation

I have installed java1.6.0_24 and also compiled a program error free.But the program doesnot seem to run.It gives the following error at command line
Error: could not open 'C:\swathi\java6-x64\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg
I donot understand what is the problem.
Also previously I installed both windows and 64 bit version of the jdk tool kit from sun.com Finally got rid of both using windows install cleanup, since I could not run any programs.
Then I installed the jdk1.6.0_24 and compiled and also run a program previously.
After that I renamed the folder in which I installed the jdk.I also made a point to make appropriate changes to the PATH variable in environment variable.
No program seems to be running now all they do is get compiled .
I again tried installing but still the same error pops up at command-line.
What is the solution.Is it a serious problem.
Currently I installed it in C:\swathi\java\....(contains all bin etc folders)
Should I let it install in Program Files with its default settings.?
Is my customizing the installation directory creating the problem?
I appreciate your help.

Well I just tried checking now.
When I place the source file in jdk\bin folder it compiles and runs as well generating the desired output.
But when I tried doing the same out side the bin folder the program only compiles but doesnt run and produce output .I suspect the error with the path I set.
I created a
user variable
Path C:\swathi\java\bin
Is there anything else I should set apart from the user variable.Is the system variable also to be set?I guess with my error the jvm is not able to run the program.
Appreciate all of your asap
Thanks in advance

Strange. I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this, but searching turned up this post from 2004...
...which seems to address the same problem. Seems to be a Windows registry issue.

Caution-free races aren't thrilling the fans
CHARLOTTE, N.C. The last 901.5 miles at NASCAR's top level have been quick and clean, the kind of races where a team can tinker on the car the entire day and not worry about artificial on-track action ruining a strong run.
It's a racer's dream, but it's apparently a fan's nightmare.
Three of the last four Sprint Cup races have been accident-free, which has reignited the age-old debate: Do fans prefer racing or wrecking?
Based on feedback five-time champion Jimmie Johnson has heard of late, he knows the answer and seems to disagree with the popular opinion.
"It seems like crashing to most is more important than racing," Johnson tweeted Monday morning, adding his disapproval for the sentiment.
NASCAR finds itself in a conundrum following this unusually clean stretch of racing.
The on-track product is pure, and there's been no room for gimmicks or manufactured action during the races. It's what racing is supposed to be, and it gives teams the opportunity to let the race come to them. More times than not, in those kind of races, it's the best car celebrating in Victory Lane.
But it's action and drama that draws attention, and if you don't believe that, rewind to Juan Pablo Montoya crashing into a jet dryer in the season-opening Daytona 500. The accident, ensuing explosion and raging fuel fire drew worldwide headlines and gave NASCAR the literal spark it needed to start the season.
Some of the most memorable moments of last season stemmed from crashes or conflict: An ongoing feud between Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick led to a pit-road confrontation at Darlington, Brian Vickers was involved in five of seven accidents at Martinsville, the road-course race at Sonoma resembled a demolition derby and featured intentional wrecking between Vickers and Tony Stewart.
There were plenty of shouting matches from Boris Said calling Greg Biffle "a scaredy-cat" while promising to deliver "a whooping" at Watkins Glen, and Johnson and Kurt Busch had to be separated during a jawing match on pit road at Pocono.
But here we are, eight races into a new season, and nobody is fighting on or off the track. It's so quiet, the only driver to even elicit an emotional response from fans was poor David Reutimann, who drew the ire of NASCAR Nation when he failed to get his disabled car off the track at Martinsville to cause a caution that altered the outcome of the race.
Aside from a lack of compelling drama, NASCAR is also short on accidents of late.
There have been only five crashes in the last four races, and all of them came in the April 1 race at Martinsville.
Before that, the race at California ran caution-free for 124 laps. Rain brought out the yellow on lap 125, and the race was called four laps later. Texas two weeks ago had just two cautions - both for debris - totaling 10 laps and a 234-lap green-flag run to the finish.
Even Bristol, a track infamous for its bumping and banging, was sterile. Although all five cautions were for accidents, only one involved multiple cars and the race featured an unheard of 219-lap green-flag run.

Boston Mills/Brandywine Ski Resort receives hundreds of donation requests every year. Although we are a local business, we are proud that we are able to help so many of the local organizations and events that reach out to us.
We will accept donation request from March to August each year. As much as we would like to, we are unable to respond favorably to all requests due to the large volume that we receive.
When we do make a donation, it is usually in the form of a pair of snow tubing tickets to Polar Blast. Polar Blast Snow Tubing tickets are a great item for auctions and raffles, since ANYONE can snow tube without having to worry about additional rentals or lessons. At $50 for the pair, they work well as additions to larger winter-themed packages, too. Please note that Boston Mills/Brandywine does not do any sort of monetary donation, including paid advertising in event programs, yearbooks, etc.
If your fundraiser might qualify for a donation, given the guidelines above, we would love to consider it for our donation program. Send us a letter, preferably on your organization's letterhead, that includes the following:
- The name of your organization
- The name of the organization or group which will benefit from your event, if different from the above
- Details about the fundraising event you are holding--and don't forget the event date!
- The deadline by which you would like to receive any donations, if you require certificates earlier than the event date
- A mailing address where your donation can be sent, if it is granted
- A contact name, phone number and email address in case we have questions
We request that you mail your event no later than 6 weeks prior to the date when you would like to receive any donation that we might choose to send you. (Sorry, we do not accept donation requests via email or phone.) Send your letter to:
Boston Mills/Brandywine Ski Resort
attn: Donation Requests
PO Box 175
Peninsula, OH 44264-0175
We appreciate your enthusiasm for your fundraising event, but we must ask that you refrain from calling to let us know that you are sending us a request, or to follow up on a request that was previously submitted. We simply do not have enough staff to handle those calls. We do, however, respond to all requests that are submitted, so you should receive an answer from us either way.
Thank you again for thinking about us as you plan your event. Best of luck to you and your organization with your fundraiser!

I am trying to implement a graph in C++. I am representing a node in graph using a structure which contains two variables -
a) an integer to contain some information about the node.
b) a list to contain index of other vertex which are connected to it.
Following is the code.
// Graphs using adjacency list
#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
// structure to represent a vertex(node) in a graph
typedef struct vertex{
int info;
list<int> adj; // adjacency list of edges contains the indexes to vertex
} *vPtr;
int main(){
vPtr node = (vPtr)malloc(sizeof(struct vertex));
node->info = 34; // some arbitrary value
(node->adj).push_back(2); // trying to insert a value in the list
return 0;
The code is compiling fine but I am getting a run time error while I am pushing back an element in the list. Is there any problem in my structure.
I am using code blocks and GNU GCC, C++ 98 compiler to compile my code.

"Great handling, and looks. Excellent quality. We have 70k on this car and have not replaced any brakes. just passed inspection again, no problems. never had a car that had brakes that lasted this long. Shop said they are still good. Ride a bit stiff, but crisp handling, road noise is a bit excessive. We also owned Toyotas, and this car has been even more reliable, than our camrys. Decent mileage and good pickup"

"We bought this 2003 CTS 3.2 L used with 77000 miles on it. It looked PERFECT, and had been well kept. The price was right (13500), and the guy I bought it from told me it didn't have any special options. Little did he know it has ALL the options. 6 changer CD, Sport Suspension, F/R side air bags, antiskid, on and on. This car was loaded with nearly every option available, so for the price I paid, it was a good one. There are only 2 or 3 complaints that I have about the car. First the 6 disk CD always gets locked up, and needs to be repaired (4 or 5 times now), and the rear axle whines slightly. However, I can overlook all the flaws, because this car is AWESOME!!! My grandkids LOVE this car, and every time I drive it, I get thumbs up! I love the handling, and the turning radius. I have never had a car that turns this tight. When I bought it the outside tie rod ends had to be replaced, and I found that the right front rim had been split. I suspect that the right front wheel hit a curb or something at high speed, because it had to be realigned, and the tie rod ends replaced as a result. It now drives and rides great. I get a thrill everytime I drive this car. The car is actually my wifes car, because she had always wanted a CTS. She simply LOVES it. Other than the few problems we have had with the vehicle described above, the reliability has been awesome. I would recommend this car to anyone. The other day I was making a turn where 3 kids on skateboards were walking across the street, and they were just stunned by the good looks of this car, and gave me the thumbs up as I drove by. People just love my raven black CTS with Chrome stock rims (the rims were aftermarket chromed, since the original are just painted aluminum) that I bought off E-Bay for $500.00 exchange. This car is simply stunning!"

"I owned this car from 35000 miles to where it currently has 102000. Things that have had to be fixed are, it was doing a little surge thing at lower speeds that they called chuggling at the dealership and they replaced the torque convertor under warranty to fix it. This car has a box of some sort instead of a pcv valve for crankcase ventilation, mine froze shut on a real cold day and caused extreme pressurizing of the engine and blew out my valve cover gaskets to where oil poured down both sides of the engine. The only other things are the crankshaft position sensor typically goes out between 70k to 90k miles, and I had to replace a coil pack at 100000 miles. Thats it, otherwise, loved the car!"

Garlic Scapes
Garlic scapes (also known as garlic tops, garlic shoots, green garlic, spring baby garlic, garlic spears, early garlic greens, or garlic "flowers") are the curly tipped, extremely tasty green shoots that grow from "heads" of hardneck (or topset) garlic which are usually discarded before harvesting in most of the U.S.
This is quite a shame because garlic scapes are a versatile and nutritious culinary treasure that is valued in Korean, Chinese, Thai, Polynesian, and coastal French cuisine.
(Asian markets with produce sections are virtually guaranteed to stock fresh garlic scapes in season, but you can also find them at farmers' markets, and gourmet supermarkets. Frozen garlic scapes are even easier to find and are readily available year-round in the freezer section of most Asian supermarkets.)
Taste-wise, garlic scapes are to garlic heads what scallions are to onions. They are garlicky but with a fresh "green" taste. They can be used in any dish where one usually uses garlic but wants a brighter, more complex garlic flavor with less bite than one would get from standard garlic cloves.
Garlic scapes work well in soups, salads, stews, salsas, dips, guacamole, omelettes, frittatas, souffles, marinades, pesto, salad dressings, and stir-fry. They can also be pickled and added to homemade flavored vinegars. Scapes are also delightful when cooked into sauces.
A simple but wonderful garlic scape spread can be made by chopping some up and mixing them with softened cream cheese (or sour cream) and dill. When added to mayonnaise to make an aioli, the flavor of chopped garlic scapes becomes milder and the savory notes are more apparent.
You can also make pesto using them. Just follow your favorite pesto recipe and substitute garlic scapes for the basil leaves.
Physical Description
These tangly, green specimens look like a cross between a plant and an octopus. Essentially, they are the plant that grows out of the garlic you normally buy (garlic being a bulb and all). Have you ever left garlic out for a few weeks and had a green stalk shoot up? Well that, I believe, is a garlic scape the stalk of the garlic plant is also edible.

Nice folks running this park. Very courteous. The previous reviews are accurate. Wi-Fi worked in the park for 2 of the 6 days we were there then quit. Its was available only sitting at the front door of the office. Mentioned it to management but they said its the way it is. Noise from the RR and nearby airport are issues here. Homeless people moved through the park one evening trying to sell used coolers. Probably the best thing going in Anchorage for camping though. Convenient to many Anchorage attractions. - americanrascal

Friendly staff. Tight turn and steep hill getting in and out of the park. Walk to some parts of city. Lots of noise from train adjacent to park. - Tranquilty1

This park is plain and rather expensive. However, it is in downtown Anchorage. The location is convenient. We could walk or ride a bike to Ship Creek, the Alaska RR station, the Saturday Market-Festival, and the Alaska Experience Theater. That same convenient location does make it noisy with the train and the sea gulls. The sites are very close together and there is not a picnic table at every one. The showers are clean for the use they get. However, the managers seem to clean them when they wish. No time is posted and on 2 days they were trying to clean while 6 men were shaving, showering or using the toilet at 9am. The park is fenced for security and ringed with trees for privacy and shade. On the hot afternoons, our RV was still comfortable, but not sure how the ones in the middle of the park felt with no shade. The laundry is the standard $2 a machine and normally busy. The office staff is helpful and there is a lot of tourist information available. This is the place to stay to see Anchorage,but do not expect an RV resort. - WNC Traveler

Military campground on Fort Richardson. The area is nice, the sites are OK and easy to park in. The camp hosts sites are a dump! Have never seen anything like this on a military base. Shouldn't be allowed. They have junk cars, trash everywhere on their sites. The civil engineers took all the water faucets off for the winter then "lost" over half, so less than 1/2 the sites have water. They will not allow you go buy a faucet and put on. Sad to say this is how they treat their park and the military that depend on being able to stay here. At least should have reduced the cost! - ICU RN

We stayed here because the park has hot showers. However, from the beginning, this park scared us. Many of the people camping here appeared to be homeless and our site was filled with broken auto glass. We were afraid to leave the trailer here for fear it would be broken into. Staff was friendly. We left after one night to find a safer place. - Vicky

Lovely location, but not maintained. Massive and deep potholes in the road through the park. I don't know if a big rig could make it. There were stumps in the middle of sites so it was very difficult to park, and they were very uneven. It could be a great place; it's close to the water, in a forest with large private sites. But it needs a lot of work. We stayed there because it was close to Anchorage for returning our RV in the morning. That would be the only reason to stay. I wouldn't stay here again. - foster33

This campground is located about 16 miles south of Anchorage at mile marker 101 on the Seward highway. It is a good location but in need of a lot of work. The gravel road into and through the campground had potholes 8 and 9 inches deep and 2 to 4 feet round. It is a narrow winding one way road. Big rigs can get in if very careful. There where a lot of trees down laying all around. It look like they may have been cut and just left to rot. I did talk to a state park worker and he said the campground is going to get a complete makeover. I would not stay here without checking it out to see if it had a makeover. - BLT101

Stayed 3 weeks at Creekwood RV Park. Had every thing we needed the place was close to everything and had major TV and Wi-Fi. If you stay for a week you pay for 6 days and get the 7th free. Had a great time visiting with the kids and grandkids. - Grandpa Frank

We chose this park because it was advertised as being close to major attractions. It was not close to anything we wanted to see. We had to take a cab to the downtown area. On initial impact, the park is very old and run down. Many of the park users are permanent residents, living in old beat up rusty RVs, cluttered with junk and debris. The sites are small, with no eye appeal, basically a gravel parking lot. No picnic table. The hookups work, but the water hookup is hot, apparently heated for winter but heater left on. The washrooms need a lot of TLC, but at least appeared clean. The smell, on the other hand, was awful, like a sewer backup. The office staff were polite and helpful. The office was neat and clean. It's way overpriced. - lymm

A large RV Park in the city. The only thing going for it is it's a block from Costco! We spent 4 days here with a Winnebago Caravan. This is the first park we've been in that caused us to question Good Sam's Inspection and Standards and Winnebago's. The sites are close together (look at their own web site photos); ours had deep depressions which we considered unsafe; roads uneven; the laundry room was filthy; Wi-Fi unreliable; on our slides we cover the sharp corners with foam. Went on a day tour, returned, found them stolen. Gunshots at night. Read previous postings. If you have children, beware. We would NOT use this park again. - TrekNsee

Rate reflects weekly rate. Park is convenient to all of Anchorage but the surroundings are not the nicest. Some sites are tight and somewhat short. They squeezed 40' motorhomes into much smaller sites when a caravan arrived. Our site was not particularly level and was right next to a very busy road so was noisy during busy times of the day. Wi-Fi worked well for the most part. Over the air TV signals are abundant. A couple of hours after we arrived several police cars and police with guns drawn surrounded an RV and had a standoff with the occupant. He wound up going to jail and his RV was towed out of the park. At 3 AM the next morning I heard 8 rounds of gunshots from the neighboring trailer park and the SWAT team showed up for that one. A few days later, again at 3 AM a few more gunshots were heard from that area. Staff was great despite the neighborhood. Great shopping nearby for re-stocking your cabinets. Not too sure if we would return simply because of the area. - Bob & Stephanie
Jun 2014 - $43.00
The office staff was nice. Good location with shopping close. Took us 10 minutes to get into pull-through site with help from neighbor as roads are narrow and sites are not angled. We have a 41 foot motor home and this was the hardest site to access in 10 years of travel due to location of trees or very large rocks guarding utilities. As stated in past reviews, Internet was non-existent. We stayed one night instead of the five we planned. - Lovetheview

Reclaiming and Recycling Exotic Asian Woods
AsiaRain, a company based in McCloud, Calif., is taking wood from old Thailand railroad ties and milling it into extraordinary, charming flooring.
|Old Thai railroad ties made of exotic wood are milled into flooring.
AsiaRain, a company based in McCloud, Calif., is taking wood from old Thailand railroad ties and milling it into extraordinary, charming flooring. The wood, more than 110 years old, is extremely valuable and unique, originating from virgin Asian rain forests.
"Probably the most exotic wood we have is a reclaimed Burmese teak," says Richard McFarland, operations manager for AsiaRain. "It's seems to be one of our most popular products. Even though it is more expensive, people love its rich, golden warmth. Another exotic species would be amboina, also known as narra or Hong Kong rosewood. There's a whole host of exotic woods."
The wood is sold by color — the classic Jungle mix and gold, blond, rose or cinnamon — rather than species. "The wood pretty much all looks the same before we mill it up, and positive identification of individual species is really difficult," McFarland says. "In tropical hardwoods, there's enough similarity between different species in appearance that it makes it awfully difficult to identify. That's why we sort by color."
Builders can choose select grade (clear with no character marks), character grade or variations in between.
While primarily designed for flooring, AsiaRain products also can be used for paneling and cabinet faces. In addition, the company offers stair parts and will introduce parts with a thicker dimension for use in furniture.

Our fourth book on heroism and leadership is now available. Entitled Conceptions of Leadership, this new volume gathers together the latest work by distinguished leadership scholars in social psychology and related disciplines to explore classic conceptions of leadership.
The book reviews topics such as interpersonal influence, charisma, personality, and power, as well as recent perspectives on those enduring concerns. It includes contemporary departures from traditional approaches to leadership in considering gender, trust, narratives, and the complex relationships between leaders and followers. Together the chapters provide a wide-ranging and coherent account of how human beings get along and the ways they engage and work together to accomplish their goals.
Conceptions of Leadership is edited by George Goethals, Scott Allison, Rod Kramer, and David Messick. Here is an excerpt, taken from David Messick's opening chapter:
– – – – – –
"In the spring of 1999, two of this book's editors, Kramer and I, met for lunch at the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago. Kramer was on the faculty of the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University and I was on the faculty of the Kellogg School at Northwestern University. One of the topics that we talked about during lunch was the shift in emphasis in both business schools away from cooperation, trust, communication, coordination, and the like, to the related but distinct topic of leadership. Kramer and I were social psychologists and knew that the topic of leadership had been an important theme in some of the earliest research on group processes. However, as social psychology experienced an infatuation with the "cognitive" revolution in psychology, the topic of leadership shrank into obscurity. By the turn of the millennium, though, there were some new ways of thinking about leadership that had not been introduced to the business school environment. Why not, we thought, have a conference and invite some of social psychology's most creative innovators to a conference to discuss these new approaches to leadership and then publish a book based on the talks? The conference was held in August of 2000 at the Kellogg School of Management, and the book based on this conference, The Psychology of Leadership, was published in 2005. Two of the creative innovators who were invited to the conference and who wrote chapters for the book are the other two editors of the current book, Allison and Goethals.
"Now, a decade, more or less, later, and there has been a virtual tsunami of books and articles about leadership. When the issue of updating the earlier book was first raised, Kramer and I wondered what the point of a revision would be. We then became aware of the creative work by Allison and Goethals and realized that there was indeed a body of research that had not been described in their earlier book. So Kramer and I discussed the idea of a revision with Allison and Goethals, and we all agreed that such a project was worth exploring. After much discussion and the exchange of scads of ideas, the current book was agreed upon by all of us, who, we should note, are all associated with the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I was a faculty member, Allison and Kramer were graduate students, and Goethals was a visiting scholar.
"The familiarity of us four editors with each other is a blessing but also a shortcoming. We are all male, white, North American university professors. These facts surely limit our views of what constitutes good leader- ship and who qualifies to be thought of as a leader. Famous people from around the world, people like Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, are all well known and admired. But there are many others who would be unrecognized by most Americans. Take, for instance, Lee Kuan Yew (familiarly known in Asia as LKY). LKY was the first prime minister of Singapore and one of the most famous and admired political leaders in Asia. When one of us (DM) taught in Hong Kong to a broad mix of Asian executives, LKY was one of the most popular figures executives wrote about to illustrate excellence in leadership. Consider also Molly Melching, about whom a book has appeared (Molloy, 2013). She is a volunteer in a not-for-profit organization in Senegal who spends time in rural villages where the practice of female genital cutting is a well-established cultural tradition. She has begun the process of gradually eliminating this barbaric practice from hundreds of villages in Senegal but remains relatively obscure in the United States. Finally, think of Simon Bolivar. His name is recognized by a fraction of US scholars, but he is famous throughout Latin America for having led the South American people in a rebellion against Spanish domination. Indeed he has one nation named after him (Bolivia) and is widely known as el Libertador throughout Central and South America. He is to Latin America what George Washington is to the United States.
"Inescapably then, we editors are constrained by our backgrounds in our selection of "core" issues about leadership, and we are constrained in ways that will often be invisible to us. For instance, we are all social psychologists and have read much of the same literature on leadership. But that literature is different from that which a political scientist or a journalist or a military historian will have read. Their books on core concepts would be different from ours—not better, necessarily, nor worse, just different. The way we define leadership is likely to differ from the way people whose backgrounds and experiences are different from ours define leadership. This fact is true about professional experiences and it is equally true about political and social differences. Most citizens of the United States, for instance, would not consider Fidel Castro to be a hero and a leader, but most Cubans would. Most North Koreans think their leaders have almost godlike qualities and most Americans think these leaders are monomaniacal lunatics. What is implied by these differences is that leadership, like beauty, may be in the eye of the beholder. If history is written by winners, one will either be viewed as a hero or a terrorist depending on who wins…."
Conceptions of Leadership is available in both hardcover and paperback.
