Thats why the lifters begin to rattle after 100k miles on them. I don't care where you worked at. I've worked in coal mines, and the company I am working for now. We've been around for along time. My boss has trucks that would be considered classics if you seen them. Hes got Ford's he had chevys as well, but none of them made it. 79 Ford F150 that I own now with 700k miles on it. 351 Cleveland. Original everything. My last 6.0L Diesel that everyone swore was a dud, had 330k miles on it, never had nothing but the regular tune ups done at the local dealership.
Facts? Its a fact when you pick up consumer reports, which is the one place you can look, and expect to find the harshes reviews of any vehicle, and find that FORD was the one truck that held up to their testing. Chevrolet and GMC both got on the liability a "Less then average" rating. I'd love to take you on a tour and show you what we do to these poor trucks. We've never had to take a Ford in to have major work done to it. We keep them maintained, and we do own Duramax's, 6.0 V8's, 5.3L Vortec V8's. We have plenty of trucks. Even our rangers out do the bigger trucks at lasting longest. Ford has the strongest motor around. Paper mache? What are you doing to them neglecting to change the oil? We have been tearing down the Executive Inn, in Evansville Indiana. Guess what? A guy hit a rock in a Ford F150 service truck that was to big to go under the truck, he didn't realize it, but it punctured the oil pan. He drove 10 miles before the engine locked, we had the truck towed back to our shop, we poured oil in the spark plug valleys, and fixed the oil pan, and were able to get the motor to start up and run. It now runs with no issues at all. Thats FORD TOUGH.
I've taken these motors apart myself buddy. They are made out way stronger material then anything that Government Motors could have. My Powerstroke has had no issues with Injectors. We have a bunch of F250's with 6.4L's they have high miles and are stock, no issues. We have lots of fun at work. I've tied chains to chevy's and fords, and watched the Ford drag the drive shaft out from under the chevrolet. Ford's are stupid and don't know when to quit. I have nothing to say about Dodge. They have one good thing, thats the cummins, and we can get Ford F650's with the Cummins in them so we don't even buy Dodges. We had one, and the suspension was just terrible. No off road capability what so ever.
Anyway to get back on topic. I never said that my opinion was fact. However nvidia has more fans, more people buy nvidia. Its site is easier to manage. Of course someone who just spent 500 bucks on a new ATI card is going to defend ATI. I hate ATI because it caught fire in my PC. EXPLAIN how a video card catches fire? A 9600 SE! They didn't even think it ran hot enough to put a cooling fan on it, and it catches fire. That case was ruined. It stunk like burnt plastic till the day I got rid of it. Not to mention the fans I had in it helped make the fire worse by supply it with oxygen. I am sorry but when I install an ATI card and I see artifacts in the games I play, I uninstall it, and get a card that doesn't. Like I said I enjoy playing my games smooth and crash free. If that means sacrificing 10% of the already awesome performance, so be it. I'll stick with nvidia, because they have been pretty damn good to me. Plus EVGA doesn't make ATI cards, and I only buy from the US
Back on topic, as consumers we can choose whatever products we wish to support, I'm glad you've had an excellent experience with nVidia. I've used both manufacturers cards, and since I upgrade every cycle I've been through lots. Evga is probably the best GFX card company in the world IMHO.
I've had more driver problems with nVidia...related mostly to install/uninstall error XDC fix that up nicely. And I spent like 1200 bucks on 7950gx2's for Quad SLi...that never ever did work right.
I've only used Ati for the last 2 generation before that it was always nV. I haven't had any real driver issues, other than poor performance with certain "beta" drivers (which is my own fault for trying betas) other than that nothing really.
Like I said I'm glad you love nV...and you love Ford....that's great....brand loyalty....it's cool

The office isn't staffed off season so we accomplished everything by phone and exchanging notes. Beautiful site on the river. Wi-Fi was great. Right on US-101 so getting in is no problem, unlike some other RV Parks. Some permanent rigs but it wasn't a problem. Close to Redwoods and Trees of Mystery. Had lovely stay. - sfrantz

To RVPR: I am from Germany and my English is not perfect. If I have written a word or phrase that is not understood, please correct it so that my review can be posted. The price is based on PA. There are places for 15 $ and 16.50 U.S. We stood right on the River. Fantastic views of the river and the mountains. Seals swim by. The owner and his wife are very friendly. It is quiet there. There is free wood for Campfire. The wifi is very fast. We love this place and would definitely come back. - usa

Basic park right next to the river. An open grass field with paved spaces and paved roads. Nice views of the river with back-in spaces available for river views. Spaces could be a little longer to hold big rigs and tow vehicle. Paved pad could be a little wider as it just held our rig allowing our jacks and tires to be on pavement. No WiFi. The downside of the park is the road noise from US-101 as it is only 100 feet from the first row of spaces. During our stay it was not distracting. All the parks in town seem about the same and are also close to 101. This park took the PA rate for our 3 night stay so a very good value for a full hook-up pull thru site. Nice stop over to see the redwood parks. - mcharland

We camped here to visit the Redwoods. The view of the river was the best part of the park. Lovely. Watched otters play. Wifi signal is weak, they know it but can't fix it. - Roy Brooks
Sep 2013 - $15.00
Rate shown is Passport America, and was given to us for all 6 nights that we were here. This is a nice park with paved sites. Ours was right on the bank of the river, and we had great views out of the front of our RV. The staff is friendly, but the office hours were limited (9-11, 2-5), so if you try to call and don't get an answer, don't give up. There's not a lot in Klamath, but within a short drive you can see the beautiful Redwoods. We definitely recommend this park! - henny38

You can walk or drive to the beach where the mouth of the Klamath comes out about a mile. - Parkervi

We stopped here to attend their Saturday night Salmon bake which is good food and entertainment. The campground has been improved significantly since the last time we were here. The staff is friendly and helpful. The site we stayed in was not level so our tires were off the ground. Also, the bathroom is in the tent area and was quite a distance from where we camped. There are only two or three stalls which service a large number of tent campers. There were wires strung from some of the tent sites to electrical outlets. Even with the inconveniences we would camp here again, but would make sure at reservation time that we had a level spot. - hbcamper

Nice shaded park in a beautiful part of California. We enjoyed the salmon and chicken BBQ, the great trail thru the woods, along the ocean and river. I had hoped to catch some salmon but no luck. We did catch some very large redtail surf perch. We really had a good time and were well taken care of by the friendly staff. We will return to this campground. - User603

Good size sites all grass. Well away from Hwy 101 road noise. Right on the Klamath River. Staff keep it very clean. My only suggestion is to make sure you hit a store before you camp here as this park is very isolated. Beautiful setting right on the Klamath River. Great home base for Redwoods camping. Wifi and cable tv for a small extra charge. We stayed here with RPI discount. - Cheryl39

It would have been 5 star, except for not being able to use our washer.
Personnel/Staff are friendly and courteous. Sites are spacious but not overly large. - User3006

Stayed here 7 days in a motorhome. This park is next to the Klamath River with great views. I would not stay here without a discount. They charge extra for everything cable, wifi and $10 if you want to wash your motorhome. Grass only no pads. Although they allow dogs, they don't offer poop bags. Check or Cash only if you use a discount. Not a park for a traveler trying to keep expenses down. - Mike Mac

This could be a beautiful place. Lots of green grass area with nice barn for activities. Owner very helpful. Noticed very trashy trailers behind office building. Middle of night awoken by drunken woman yelling who obviously was living in one of those trailers. These need to be cleaned up. Need more trash cans which needed emptying. Wouldn't use washers because filthy. Electricity went out with 30 amps. Location within walking distance to river. - snowchick
Aug 2014 - $35.00
Friendly helpful staff. Large sites and large shade trees. Many come here for the fishing and it looked good when we were here. At least one 30 lb king salmon landed during our stay. Restrooms are older but well kept. Same for showers. All hookups were fully functional and easily accessible. Lots of other friendly campers here. On site pizzeria, order and pay at office and the pie will be delivered to your site. Bears make occasional visits to the fish cleaning area. Can be at any time of day. Beautiful place to stay and fish or see the redwoods as we did. We would stay here again if in this area. - DRKM

We love this park. We stay here 2 times a year going to and from Oregon. Large grass sites very well kept up. The staff make you feel like part of the family. They also have a pizza shack that makes the best pizza. The owner put on a good fireworks display on the 4th, and also provided a great BBQ for the whole campground. We will be back. - Bob&Heidi

May 2015 - $33.00
Nice campground right on Hwy 101 about 3 miles north of Klamath and 17 miles south of Crescent City. We got NO AT&T cell service here, but the campground does have decent WiFi and 12 channels of cable TV. There is a decent laundry room, no change machine, but you can get change in the gift shop, which has some nice local souvenirs. The owner has tons of information on things to do in the area. Rate is weekly. - LifeRidingShotgun
Jul 2014 - $29.00
This is by far, the best value and the most quiet, pleasant RV park in the area. It is clean and well maintained by the owners and offers secluded tent and RV (back-in) sites nestled in the tall trees. There are also many sunny or partly shaded pull-thru sites and all are FHU with picnic tables and fire pits. The bathrooms and laundry are super clean and the owners are very helpful with suggestions and maps for the best sights to see and even having my mail sent here. There is a 1/2 mi. trail with all the blackberries you can pick in season. When I arrived and hooked-up my hose for water, I noticed a wet area, but thought the former guests just didn't turn water all the way off. But when I turned the water on to my RV, the faucet sprayed water everywhere. I mentioned it to the office. It was fixed with a new handle when I returned. Awesome! On Sat night we were entertained by an impromptu singer with an acoustic guitar. It's a great base for easy day trips to drive/hike in the Jedediah Smith Redwoods Park; see the Klamath Overlook and beach at the mouth of the Klamath River; go fishing or gathering driftwood; visit the Battery Point Lighthouse (at low tide only) for the history of the Tsunami that hit Crescent City; drive the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway to Elk Meadows, hike Lady Bird Johnson Grove Trail, plus much more. This is my second stay here and it's better than the concrete, harbor parks in Crescent City that I stayed at my first time. This year, I called ahead to take advantage of their weekly/monthly rate. - Bchgrl

Press release from Business Wire
Titan Announces Results of Tender Offer as of the Early Tender Time and Amendments to its Tender Offer
Thursday, May 27, 2010
Titan Announces Results of Tender Offer as of the Early Tender Time and Amendments to its Tender Offer07:55 EDT Thursday, May 27, 2010 QUINCY, Ill. (Business Wire) -- Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI) today announced the early tender results for its previously announced tender offer to purchase any and all of its issued and outstanding 8% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012 (the "Senior Notes") and the amendment of certain terms and conditions of such tender offer. As of 5 p.m. New York City time on May 26, 2010, the previously announced early tender time (the "Early Tender Time"), according to information provided by the tender agent, $46,352,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes, representing 23.9% of the principal amount outstanding, had been validly tendered. The tender offer expires at midnight New York City time on June 10, 2010, unless extended ("Expiration Time"). Holders of Senior Notes that were validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for payment will receive $1,050 per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes (the "Total Consideration"), plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. Holders of Senior Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but before the Expiration Time will receive $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes (the "Tender Offer Consideration"), plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the final settlement date. Titan has waived the Financing Condition to the tender offer, as set forth in the offer to purchase. The tender offer had been conditioned on the completion of a private placement of Titan's senior unsecured notes. Titan intends to finance the purchase of the Senior Notes pursuant to the tender offer and to pay all fees and expenses associated therewith from cash on hand. In addition, Titan has amended the tender offer to waive the Minimum Tender Condition, as set forth in the offer to purchase and to grant holders the right to withdraw tendered Senior Notes prior to 5 p.m. New York City time on June 3, 2010, but not thereafter, unless such time is extended by Titan in its sole discretion (the "Withdrawal Deadline"). Except as set forth below and as required by applicable law, Senior Notes tendered prior to the Withdrawal Deadline may only be withdrawn, in writing, prior to the Withdrawal Deadline and Senior Notes tendered after the Withdrawal Deadline and prior to the Expiration Time may not be withdrawn. In the event of a termination of the tender offer, all Senior Notes tendered pursuant to the tender offer will be promptly returned to the tendering holders. For a withdrawal of a tender of Senior Notes to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal, or a properly transmitted "Request Message" through ATOP, must be received by the tender agent before the Withdrawal Deadline at its address set forth on the back cover of the offer to purchase. Any such written or facsimile notice of withdrawal must (i) specify the name of the person that tendered the Senior Notes to be withdrawn and, if different, the name of the record holder of such Senior Notes (or, in the case of Senior Notes tendered by book-entry transfer, the name of the participant for whose account such Senior Notes were tendered and such participant's account number at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Senior Notes), (ii) contain the description(s), CUSIP number(s) and the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes to be withdrawn and (iii) be signed by the holder of such Senior Notes in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which such Senior Notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees), if any (or, in the case of Senior Notes tendered by a DTC participant through ATOP, be signed by such participant in the same manner as the participant's name is listed on the applicable Agent's Message), or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the trustee register the transfer of the Senior Notes into the name of the person withdrawing such Senior Notes and (iv) if the letter of transmittal was executed by a person other than the holder, be accompanied by a properly completed irrevocable proxy that authorizes such person to effect such revocation on behalf of such holder. The signature(s) on the notice of withdrawal of any tendered Senior Notes must be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor unless the relevant Senior Notes have been tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. If the Senior Notes to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the tender agent, a signed notice of withdrawal is effective immediately upon written or facsimile notice of withdrawal even if physical release is not yet effected by the tender agent. Any Senior Notes validly withdrawn will be deemed to be not validly tendered for purposes of the tender offer. Withdrawals of Senior Notes can be accomplished only in accordance with the foregoing procedures. Holders may not rescind their valid withdrawals of tendered Senior Notes. However, Senior Notes validly withdrawn may thereafter be retendered at any time at or prior to the Expiration Time by following the procedures described under "Terms of the Offer – Procedure for Tendering Notes" in the offer to purchase.

Subject to these conditions, Titan reserves the right to accept for purchase all Senior Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Time and not validly withdrawn and to pay the total consideration on an early settlement date following the Withdrawal Deadline. If Titan does not exercise the option to settle on the early settlement date, holders of Senior Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted for payment will receive the Total Consideration or the Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, on the final settlement date promptly following the Expiration Time.

Australia complete clean sweep against France with Sydney win
France's inconsistency is down to the coach not the players. If faith were to be shown to their best players week in week out they'd be world beaters every game. How can a player be psychologically motivated in the current French setup? Great for an England fan, a terrible shame for the game of rugby.

New Zealand win England series 2-0 with victory in Dunedin
Farrell at 12 is interesting although perhaps not terribly inspiring.
Personally whenever I've seen Alex Goode he plays as if he's an inside centre with 15 on his back. I'm almost certain it will never happen, but why not put him next to Manu in the midfield. He has all the attributes and all the skills and will naturally slip into that role even when he's playing full back. I'm really trying to find any reason as to why he wouldn't be a success at 12 but I can't find a single one! If Goode's not a 12 then I'll be damned.

New Zealand win England series 2-0 with victory in Dunedin
Usually I'd be the first to criticise Twelvetrees and yes, he was poor. But Burrell was far worse. I'm not sure why everyone's harnessing their criticism against Billy when the bloke stood next to him didn't make a tackle all game.

New Zealand snatch victory in the dying minutes after strong England showing
I'm a huge fan of Foden and one of his biggest advocates, but l would really love to see how Pennell takes to international rugby. The stuff he's managed to do with a truly terrible Worcester team around him merit an international opportunity.
There's a great tribute to him here:

New Zealand snatch victory in the dying minutes after strong England showing
I'm probably going get shot down on this one, but I can't see any reason for playing Wood ahead of The Hask. Better ball carrier, bigger hits in defence, more athletic and physical...just a more effective player. There were times when critics (myself included) questioned his commitment to international rugby as he was heading off to Super Rugby. But his performances in the Aviva and his work rate on saturday spoke volumes.

The Top 5 French Flair moments of All Time
Is there any particular reason PSA's decided to start a bloke who can't even make the bench for his club in the most important position on the pitch in one of the most hostile fixtures in international rugby? And let's not get started on the fact he's dropped Dulin and Picamoles.
International coaching credentials I may lack, but I find a good way of picking a team is usually to select the players the opposition don't want you to select. I'm not Australian, but if I were, I would be jumping for joy.

Star studded Barbarians too good for England XV at Twickenham
It was an awesome attacking performance yet again for Daly. Especially considering he's become a victim of his own versatility and has to play every game at full back. For someone who's so clearly an outside centre he sure as hell doesn't play there much.

Kovels Antiques: Puzzle mugs meant to be practical joke
Puzzle mugs date back to the 1700s. They were popular in taverns. When a patron was tipsy, the bartender poured ale into a mug that hid a realistic pottery frog at the bottom. Empty the mug and the frog appeared while other patrons laughed.
In the early 1800s, Chinese export porcelains were sometimes decorated with humorous or off-color subjects. One famous design is a scene of a young woman wearing a full skirt and sitting on a swing. The man next to her appears to be pushing the swing. But on the back of the plate you can see the back of the woman. Her skirt is pushed up to show her bare backside. The design was so popular that the same scene was made into a molded iron ashtray 100 years later.
Many of these jokes were connected to drinking and bars. In the 1920s, when Prohibition was the law, dozens of small bottles and flasks were made by Schafer and Vater, a German company. They were satirical, funny and risque. A disheveled drunk labeled "Prohibition," an Uncle Sam figure holding a martini glass, a decanter shaped like a monk pouring a drink with the inscription "Spiritually Uplifting" and many other figural bottles that held whiskey were given as gifts for birthdays and holidays.
Twentieth-century joke ceramics range from dime-store "potty figures" of children sitting on potties to George Tinworth's Royal Doulton figurines of animals acting like humans and English Martinware fantasy birds with removable heads. Twenty-first-century jokes are easy to find and include Disney and comic-book characters. Many of the fun pieces made before 2000 now sell for high prices. But don't ignore joke ceramics of today. They may turn out to be valuable in 50 years.
Q: I own a 24-inch-high tiger maple dresser I found in my parents' attic. In a drawer I found a stamped mark that says, "Widdicomb Company." On the back of the drawer someone wrote: "Trimmed July 8, 1911, Inspected August 14, 1911, Varnished August 23, 1911, Polished February 2, 1912, and Inspected February 29, 1912." Any information would be appreciated.
A: John Widdicomb founded his company in Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1897. The company's early work focused on interior woodwork and fireplace mantels, but it soon switched to mid-priced bedroom suites and kitchen cabinets. During the 1910s and '20s, Widdicomb Co. made bedroom suites with matching and contrasting veneers. It continued to make furniture until 2002, when the factory in Grand Rapids closed. L. & J.G. Stickley Co. purchased the company's remaining assets, and it continues to make Widdicomb reproductions at its factory in Manlius, N.Y. The writing on your dresser shows the steps and dates of its construction. Your dresser is a part of a bedroom suite sold in 1912. A seven-piece Widdicomb tiger maple bedroom suite recently sold for $750 at auction.
Q: We own a royal commemorative creamer and sugar that my grandparents brought to this country from Scotland in the early 1900s. We think it's from the wedding of King Edward VII to Queen Alexandra. Both pieces are cream-colored with multicolor portraits of the king and queen. The rims are gold and wavy. Neither piece is marked. What is the set worth?
A: Queen Victoria's oldest son, Albert "Bertie" Edward (1841-1910), was married to Denmark's Princess Alexandra in 1863. But he didn't become King Edward VII until Queen Victoria died in 1901. Your creamer and sugar commemorate the king's 1901 coronation, not his 1863 wedding. If your set is in excellent condition, it could sell for about $125 to $150. It would sell for more in England than in the United States.
Q: My wife and I own a 20-inch-high kerosene lamp. The globe and mantle are made of glass, and the base is brass, copper and pewter. The handles are pewter dragons, and the base is decorated with fanciful pewter birds. The lamp is stamped, "Consolidated, Pat. Sept. 990 Apr 30 05 April 11 93." Value?
A: The stamp indicates that your lamp was made by Consolidated Lamp and Glass Co. of Fostoria, Ohio. The company resulted from a merger of Wallace and McAfee Co. of Pittsburgh and Fostoria Shade and Lamp Co. of Fostoria. Consolidated had a reputation for making fine lamps and other lighting products. The company moved its operations to Coraopolis, Pa., after a fire badly damaged the Ohio factory. Collectors are particularly interested in Consolidated glass made after 1925, when its designers moved toward Art Deco and Lalique-inspired designs. The company temporarily closed during the Depression and closed for good in 1964. A matching pair of old Consolidated molded glass kerosene lamps recently sold for $110 at auction.
Q: Your April Fool's Day column stated that Prince Albert tobacco, introduced in the United States in 1907, was named for the "future king of England." But Prince Albert became King Edward VII when his mother, Queen Victoria, died in 1901.
A: Prince Albert was indeed already king when the tobacco brand was introduced here. But some tins have an added design on the front that says "Now King."
Most ceramics can be washed with soap or detergent and water but a few things should not be. Any pieces that are repaired, damaged or have painted decorations should not be soaked in water. Wipe them with a damp cloth after testing a small area. Unglazed pieces should be dusted.

S - after few bad images (handshake, dirty rollers) I managed to get something better looking:
I used tripod for both images as I realized that the film has ISO 125 and as the lens is slow (f/8 if I am not mistaken) it is more of an 'outdoor' camera. But the photos really do have charm. I have actually one more, but the model did not want to sign the release
EDIT: I do not have a scanner, so a P&S had to do what caused some reflections as the photos are glossy.

We had a great stay and a wonderful breakfast. The location was perfect on our way down to New Mexico, the food was great and company was delightful. We absolutely will stay again on future southern Colorado trips.

Convenient location for skiing Wolf Creek. Hosts were very attentive and gave great recommendations for outside dining options and general info on the area. I would recommend this spot to friends.

My boyfriend and I very much enjoyed staying here on a short ski trip over NY 2015. (Apple Lodge is 45 min from Wolf Creek and 5 hours from Boulder.)The owners, Mark and Judy, are very personable, helpful and friendly but not overbearing. They will chat if you are so inclined, but they will also let you relax in silence if that's what you wish. They have a very cute little dog, Hazel, who is friendly, playful and well-behaved. Mark and Judy made sure we had clear directions and they made good restaurant recommendations too. (Try Three Barrels Brewery and Pizzeria in Del Norte). The common area "fireplace room" is a wonderful place to relax on the couch or in the recliner to enjoy some homemade cookies and tea or coffee while you read. Christmas music played softly in the background and added to the warm, holiday ambiance. Breakfasts were hearty and delicious and the owners readily accommodated my vegetarian diet. Try this place for you next trip to Wolf Creek - it's much more quiet, comfortable and homey than any hotel could be and is worth a few extra dollars!

We had to change plans for ou roadtrip and picked this place after a quick internet-research very short trem. We staid only one night, and were very pleasantly surprised about the very warm welcome, the free upgrade to a larger room and how impeccable the prperty is maintained; you clearly see how invested and commited the owners are. Breakfast was delicious ad we regretted that we had to leave the other day.

Very comfortable and homey. The attendants were so warm and gracious and willing to help us feel welcome. The breakfasts were yummy, hot and very attractively served. Would stay again if in the area.

Innkeepers were amazing. Called me on my cell to make sure I would be in an area that I could get some supper since I was checking in late. Very Concerned and caring

Apple Lodge is a good stop in southern Colorado near South Fork.

Husband and I found Applelodge B and B while googling for lodging between Montrose and Colorado Springs. We stayed in the "Red Delicious" room, which has a private bath and king size bed. I slept wonderfully but my husband thought the bed was a little soft. The room and bath were very clean, homey, comfortable and convenient for our travels through central and western Colorado. We would definitely return and spend another night with the Applewhites and their quaint Band B. Sat on the front porch Saturday morning drank our coffee and watched the herd of buffalo and their babies across the highway.

Delightful and wonderful hospitality

I highly recommend this B&B. The Applewhites are absolutely wonderful people who aim to please. I will go back ASAP, and will stay again at this B&B without bothering to look elsewhere. Alan in Waco Texas

Getting to the AppleLodge is easy from most any direction. It is located just west of Del Norte Colorado on the westbound side of U.S. Highway 160 at mile marker 201. From Denver or Colorado Springs and parts north-- take U.S. Highway 285 South to State Highway 112. This takes you right into Del Norte. Then turn right (west) on U.S. Highway 160 and it's just west of town on the right. From Santa Fe, New Mexico and parts south-- take U.S. Highway 285 North to Alamosa and turn left (west) onto U.S. Highway 160 and go through Alamosa and through Monte Vista to Del Norte. Then it's just west of town on the right. From Walsenberg and parts east-- take U.S. Highway 160 west over La Vita Pass and then through Alamosa and Monte Vista to Del Norte. Then it's just west of town on the right. From Pagosa Springs and parts west-- take U.S. Highway 160 east over Wolf Creek Pass and then through South Fork to Del Norte. The AppleLodge will be on your left just before you get to town.

Comment: Lock down the Windows desktop (Score 5, Informative) 334 334
I support a Windows 7 PC in our community center (retirement community). I simply installed Drive Vaccine (http://www.drivevaccine.com/), which is cheap and allows you to either lock the PC down entirely (no virus infection possible
:)), or keep say a "documents" folder writable, but locks the rest of the PC down. This PC has run for several years, and is restored to a "baseline" after each restart. Never an infection, as it can't survive the reboot. Users can surf the Internet all they want, and write and receive emails etc, etc. Occasionally, I unlock it to do updates of various sorts, but then I lock it down again. Sounds perfect for your parents.

Boardings up for 10th straight month
Airport Traffic Jumps in March
TO: All Media Outlets,
CONTACT: Chris Rodgers
Executive Director
April 21, 2010
Erie, PA: After nine months of continuous, but moderate growth, enplanements at Erie International Airport, Tom Ridge Field grew by an impressive 16.1% over March 2009 totals.
"The economy is picking up and fares are low," according to Airport Executive Director Chris Rodgers. "Lots of snow in January and February motivated many people to purchase tickets to warmer destinations in March. Very little snowfall in March meant few delays or cancelations for the month. All in all, 2010 is off to a very good start!"
All three Erie airlines posted gains, with DL leading with 18.3% more enplanements than March 2009. US grew by 17.4% and CO added 12.5%. On a year-to-date basis, CO is now up an impressive 23% over the same period last year.
Delta continues to be the market leader in Erie, with 45.8% of the total market so far in 2010. Continental is second at 28.6%, and US Airways is a close third at 25.3%.
Erie International Airport, Tom Ridge Field offers 12 average daily departures to three destinations on our three airline partners, Continental Connection, Delta Connection, and US Airways Express. Please visit our website www.erieairport.org to learn more about Your Airport! To purchase tickets please contact your airline or a local travel agent or visit www.erieairport.org

Pan Steamed Swordfish with Capers Olives and Toasted Pine Nuts
|Pine nuts
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Swordfish steaks
|2 Pound (4 Steaks, 1/2 Pound Each)
|To Taste
|Freshly ground black pepper
|To Taste
|Extra virgin olive oil
|4 Tablespoon
|Onion/1 small onion
|1⁄2 Large, thinly sliced
|Chopped olives
|1 Cup (16 tbs), chopped coarsely (Black And Green)
|Salted capers
|1 Tablespoon, rinsed
|White wine
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs) (Vermentino)
|Fish broth/Water
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) (Homemade)
Toast the pine nuts in an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat until they turn slightly tan, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove them from the heat and transfer them to a cold plate.
This will stop the cooking.
Season the swordfish generously with salt and pepper.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12- to 14-inch nonstick skillet (or two 10-inch skillets) over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the fish and sear it over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
Transfer to a plate near the stove.
Add the remaining oil and the onions to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for about 7 to 8 minutes, until the onions are soft and start turning brown on the edges.
Add the olives and capers, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Add half of the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Let the wine completely evaporate.
Add the fish back to the pan and pour in the rest of the wine and the broth (or water).
Turn down the heat to medium and cook, partially covered, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through but not overdone.
Remove from the heat, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and sprinkle the pine nuts over the fish.
Serve immediately, making sure to spoon some onions, olives, and capers with each serving.

Making Multiples: Cavity Molds for Handmade Ceramic Tiles
My kitchen could use an overhaul, and though it is not probably going to happen for a long while, I still seem to constantly be looking for inspiration. One thing that I think would be a lovely touch to this dream kitchen is a custom tile backsplash. Of course, the most productive way of making consistent tiles is with molds. In today's post, Gary Carlos demonstrates how he makes molds with repeatable patterns for his tiles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Flyer Fabulous This was as advertised. Great price and easy to install. In fact we are thinking of getting one more set for another area of the yard. May 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lemony223 Easy Edging! This is a very easy edging to install. I had purchased eight sets and six of them went together without any issues. The other two were packaged slightly different and took a little more muscle to fit the pieces together, so not sure what that was about. Put I edged my whole yard in about 30 minutes. Then I just put mulch over top and it looks great! May 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lily Easy to install The con is the price. It's on the high side compared to a regular DYI store. However, it's good quality and very easy to install. It is strong enough to have the steardy look when you set it straight. But it is flexible enough to mold it to fit your curves. So I definitely recommend it. July 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by princessgardener garden edging We installed this edging and it was quite easy. IT looks excellent and bends easily, even though at first, it may seem to be impossible because of the strength of the plastic. I will reorder this again. April 5, 2013

Speaker Reviews
A 'First Look' at the Paradigm Series 7 Mini Monitor Speakers
- Written by Brian Florian
- Published on 07 September 2011
CEDIA EXPO 2011 is right around the corner, and among products being highlighted this year by Paradigm is the 7th generation of their legendary Monitor series speakers. A pair of Mini-Monitors from this new iteration was rushed to us for comment. What follows are our first impressions (a full review will be published at a later date).
Magnepan Magneplanar MG 1.7 Flat Panel Quasi-Ribbon Full Range Speakers
- Written by John E. Johnson, Jr.
- Published on 01 September 2011
Probably 99% of the speakers in the world have drivers in a box, aka, an enclosure, either ported or sealed. Flat panel speakers don't have enclosures, other than the frame. The drivers consist of thin metal ribbons, or thin metal conductors attached to thin plastic ribbons (called "quasi-ribbon"), thin plastic sheets (i.e., larger than ribbons) with conductors running in narrow loops up and down, and thin plastic sheets suspended between perforated metal sheets called stators (electrostatic speakers). In the case of ribbons, there are permanent magnets close to the ribbons, and the music signal passes through the ribbons, creating a magnetic field that pulls or pushes the ribbon back and forth to create the music. Magnepan is a manufacturer of flat panel speakers, and in the past, at least one of the drivers was a large surface with the conductors running in loops. Perhaps their most popular model of recent years was the Magneplanar MG 1.6. At $2,000/pair, this was nirvana for flat-panel speaker aficionados. They now have announced the MG 1.6's replacement, the MG 1.7, which is the subject of this review.
Klipsch Reference II 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System
- Written by Jim Clements
- Published on 05 July 2011
At last year's CEDIA Expo in Atlanta, Klipsch set up their demo in a room that was more than just a little bit off the beaten path. Undaunted, I was able to find my way there and boy was I glad that I took the extra time to seek them out! The Klipsch Group, Inc. owns a total of four speaker companies – Klipsch, Jamo, Mirage and Energy. Each company had some new products on display. In this review, we take a look at the Klipsch Reference II 5.1 Speaker System, which includes RF-82 II floor-standers (towers) as the Mains, an RC-62 II Center, RS-52 II Surrounds, and SW-311 Subwoofer.
Crystal Acoustics TX-B1 Bookshelf Speakers
- Written by John E. Johnson, Jr.
- Published on 29 August 2011
Crystal Acoustics is an on-line company that manufactures speakers, media players, and other accessories. Their top-of-the-line speaker is priced at $33,000/pair, which is very unusual in the on-line speaker business. Fortunately, for the majority of us, they also make very affordable speakers, some of which we have reviewed. The current review examines the TX-B1, which is a bookshelf speaker that has the woofer in the main enclosure, and a completely separate (but attached) enclosure for the tweeter. It has a very high quality sound, is well constructed, and sells for only $349/pair.
Paradigm Signature S2, Version 3 Bookshelf Speakers and Anthem Integrated 225 Amplifier
- Written by Chris Heinonen
- Published on 20 June 2011
The CEDIA Expo isn't really a show for audiophiles. Most of the setups are geared towards in-wall speakers, projectors, and other various forms of home automation, but there are always a few vendors there that have some nice demonstrations. This year, one of my favorite demonstrations came from Paradigm, who had a complete home theater built with their Signature S2, Version 3s as the front speakers.

Anthony Gallo Acoustics Reference 3.5 Speakers
- Written by Chris Groppi
- Published on 02 June 2011
In 2007, I reviewed the Gallo Reference 3.1 speakers along with Gallo's Reference AV center, A'Diva rears and the Reference SA subwoofer amplifier. I liked them so much I bought the entire system. Recently, Gallo has released the new Reference 3.5 speaker, replacing the venerable Reference 3.1.
B&W CM8 Tower Speakers
- Written by Brian Alvarez
- Published on 28 July 2011
Bowers and Wilkins (B&W) recently made the bold move to sell their products through Magnolia and Best Buy. Adding big box retailers in addition to specialty retailers is quite a step from a brand surround by "audiophile" credentials. Few speakers have as much universal respect as B&W speakers. One of their new models is the CM8 Floor-stander (tower), which is reviewed here.
Usher Dancer Mini Two Floor-Standing Speakers and BE-616 Center Channel Speaker
- Written by Mark Vignola
- Published on 26 May 2011
Usher Audio is a brand long known around the audiophile community for making speakers of stunningly good build quality and excellent sound for the price. Often mentioned in conversations with speakers costing much more, Usher has remained a more niche company, providing its speakers slightly under the radar. That under-the-radar reputation changed somewhat with their release of the highly regarded BE-718 bookshelf speaker, which we reviewed some time ago. The current review details the Usher Mini Dancer Two Floor-Standing Speaker and the BE-616 Center Channel Speaker.
LG LHB336 Home Theater System (Blu-ray Player, Receiver, Speakers, and Subwoofer)
- Written by Stephen Hornbrook
- Published on 21 July 2011
Last year I reviewed the LG LHB535, a full-featured Home Theater-in-a-Box Blu-ray system. I felt it performed pretty well and offered a lot of features for the price. Wait until you see what the LG LHB336 offers, for $399.

- Written by Jim Milton
- Published on 23 May 2011
The late Jim Thiel and company have been making speakers in the heartland of Kentucky for over 30 years. THIEL has amassed a staggering 55 accolades from international press, including the high performance audio industry's most prestigious publications. The SCS4T is part of the J.E.T. series and offers the most affordable line of speakers that THIEL currently manufactures.

Scandal: Hey, Did Olivia Pope Just Dis Flint? [VIDEO]

Hey Gladiators, did you catch the Flint reference on ABC's Scandal the other night?
The AMC show 'Breaking Bad' has me hooked (on the show, not meth) like no other. Here are 12 indicators that I may be just a bit too obsessed.
Jennifer Lawrence has just won Best Supporting Actress for 'American Hustle' at the 2014 Golden Globes awards, announced Sunday, January 12, during the live ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.'
The Golden Globes are often lauded as one of the most fun awards shows in Hollywood and for good reason! The show honors the best in television and movies, and includes many of our favorite stars.
Miley Cyrus is all about trying to shock the world these days with the things she says and does, but this time it might be someone in her inner circle that will shock her by stealing from her.
Awards season is officially here! The nominees for the 2014 Golden Globes have been announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
A lot of dirty words from news anchor's these days. They need to put the filter on.
In response to recent criticism that there are no black actresses and comedians in the current cast of 'Saturday Night Live,' host Kerry Washington --who held her own all ep long-- was asked to play multiple black female roles in last night's (Nov. 2) cold open. It was 'SNL' addressing critics in the best way it knows how -- through humor and during a skit.
The 2013 Emmy Awards winners were announced Sunday night during the awards ceremony, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.
All of the sudden, kids eating in restaurants is a hot topic.
Even though Anthony Weiner got caught doing the exact same thing he said he would never do again, he's still running for mayor of New York City.
A retired New York teacher takes him to task in this video.
Hmmm... what could possible go wrong? Let's just say this video is nuts!

The 4 Seasons of Home
Welcome back! Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? We did! We all have so much to be thankful for.
So, a long, long time ago, I asked for your help on Facebook, to decide which 4 Canvases I should hang in my home to represent each of the 4 Seasons.
This project has taken me over 2 years sadly, because the first year, I was almost done getting my images from each Season, when my computer crashed. Then I was grumpy about it, and didn't shoot the Seasons again for a few years. This year, I got it done, AND ordered canvases. Woot woot!
I couldn't just pick one, so some Seasons have two canvases to pick from, or maybe I could switch out half way through a season or something….
Hey, a girl has GOT to have OPTIONS! :)
I will try to show both the image on my wall, and the original image in the following photos.
I chose this bench one for now, but here are a few others I am dying to get as I see good deals on canvases.
We live in a place that snow can most definitely represent Spring!
I want this one too. I love our windmill!
Some others I am considering….
I narrowed it down to just 2 images, this first one is what you see in the photo.
The one of Dale, Pax and Bambi made the evening news last year! It is the second canvas I have, and plan to switch it to this for January and February.
The problem is, I love the next 3 images as well, but didn't get canvases made.
Maybe some day I will do a big canvas grid arrangement for winter?!?!?! :)
Apparently, it's my favorite Season to photograph?! I have a plethora of choices!
This one of our ducks and chickens made the local newspaper. Despite the snow in it, it lives on my mantel year around and is my favorite of all time.
That is the 4 Seasons of Home, from my house to yours.
For those asking, (thank you, I am so honored!) images are available for purchase at my photography website, or if you want a professional canvas made, I need to order it for you.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Pompidou Centre was commissioned by President Georges Pompidou, who envisaged a temple of the arts which would fit with modern times: where arts and culture would be accessible to all. The commission was won by architects Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, who designed an entirely innovative and contemporary building which, as the antithesis of modern architecture which seeks to hide its functional parts, instead playfully displays its pipes, escalators and support structures in technicolour for all to see. The seven level glass-walled structure was officially opened in 1977, and houses the National Museum of Modern Art, the Institute of Acoustic and Musical Research (IRCAM), a free library, and a variety of exhibition spaces, shops, restaurants and an arthouse cinema.

Challenging 1854-O Large Date Eagle, AU581854-O $10 Large Date AU58 NGC. The Large Date variety was made in error when the diesinker mistakenly used a date punch for a silver dollar. There is disagreement as to whether the Large or Small Date is scarcer. In any event, near-Mint State Large Date examples such as the current offering are challenging to acquire. Its yellow-gold surfaces retain a good amount of luster and the centers exhibit the usual softness, though the remaining areas are well impressed.(Registry values: N1793) (PCGS# 98614)
