Katrina's soaker pattern can be used for a wool soaker.
Also, merino wool, I think is the coolest and most absorbent (don't quote me on that).
For sewn, wool interlock and upcycled wool sweaters work well.
For yarn, I have no idea. I'm still learning to knit.

If you want to PAN me with your email addy, I will send you my Universal Woolies pattern which has a basic soaker pattern included.

Why don't overclocking and aniso/antialiasing setting "stick" with nvidia-settings
I've noticed it since I began using Linux last year (since Ubuntu 6.10). I have a 7900 GT and it works just fine with nvidia drivers and doing twinview (2560x1024). Nvidia X Server Settings is an excellent control panel tool, and most of options do "stick" after a reboot, like twinview, sync to vblank, and digital vibrance. But overclocking (enabled by Option "Coolbits" "1" in xorg.conf) and antialiasing/anisotropic filtering settings do not. If I reboot, or simply restart X, I got no antialising/aniso, despite it's enabled on nvidia settings. I do have to disable "override aplication setting" and enable it again in order to get it working. Same thing with overclocking - after restarting X, "Enable Overclocking" is disabled. Running nvidia-settings as root gives the same results.
Not much to worry, as I simply have to remember to disable/enable these settings before running a game, but I would like to know if this is a "feature" or a known bug.
Re: Why don't overclocking and aniso/antialiasing setting "stick" with nvidia-settings
The driver README documents this behavior.
Re: Why don't overclocking and aniso/antialiasing setting "stick" with nvidia-setting
I've kludged past this issue by running nvidia-settings as sudo.
sudo nvidia-settings

iPads create learning experience for students, teachers at Evansville Lutheran | POLL
School embraces new technology
EVANSVILLE - MOBILE and TABLET users can vote in the poll here.
It wasn't just the students at Evansville Lutheran School who needed to get accustomed to a new classroom tool when the school year began; teachers have also had to adapt to integrating and using iPads on a daily educational basis.
On Aug. 13, when the school year started at ELS, every fourth- through eighth-grader walked into their classroom with not only pencils, paper and lunchboxes, but also their very own iPad.
The school is implementing a one-to-one initiative after testing the possibilities last year when ELS used a private donation and funds to purchase two mobile carts of iPads — 25 for upstairs classrooms to share and 25 for the main level classes. School officials decided it would be beneficial to implement the program to better prepare students for the 21st century.
"We offered a computer class, and kids came once or twice a week, but we felt to really prepare them for technology, it's got to be in the classroom, something that's always there for them," said Lindsey Prentice, ELS technology coordinator. "So we knew we had to do one-to-one. We had little hiccups at the beginning, like going from having 70 devices on our network to 170."
It didn't hurt that the students loved using the hand-held, touch-based devices.
Fifth-grader Karina Bollier, 10, said the iPads are fun and likes turning in assignments through an app called Edmodo. This way, Bollier said, she doesn't have to erase and can't lose her paper or accidentally tear it.
Classmates Anna Sawyer, 10, and Samendia Brown, 11, agreed and said the iPads make it easier to complete and submit homework.
"I like that we can just type instead of writing," said Lola Shanks, 10.
ELS families had two options: lease-to-own an iPad through the school, or provide a device for their child. If purchased through the school, it is the iPad Mini (white or silver) with Wi-Fi and 16GB of storage. The cost to lease is either $25 a month for a two-year lease, or $50 a month for a one-year lease. The cost includes a case and a two-year warranty service. However, the iPad must be returned at the end of the school year until the lease term is complete.
Prentice said about half of the families provided their own iPad for their child, and the other half is on a lease term.
"But ultimately in the end, it will be theirs," Prentice said. "We did that just because we found through talking to other schools and research that if the kid uses their own device, they are more responsible with it, taking care of it, than us just loaning them out to the students."
Not only did fifth-grade teacher Amanda Pullmann have to adjust to the Apple operating system and programs, she had to integrate teaching the subjects to her students, as well as helping them learn how to use the device. Despite the challenges they sometimes bring, Pullmann likes the iPads.
"It opens up this whole, huge opportunity that you can have them do in the classroom without making reservation times at the computer lab to research things," she said. "We have encyclopedias at their fingertips now, and that's huge."
Using iPads can be beneficial for all subject matters, Pullmann said, but sometimes it's hard to figure out which app works best for which situation. The rule of thumb in her classroom — keep the iPad flat on your desk when Ms. Pullmann is teaching in the front of the room. This makes it easy for her to know they're paying attention and not just playing a game on their device.
"Their creativity has a huge outlet through these iPads, too. They want to create things, and they want to share things and show their classmates," she said. "It's really cool to see."
Other school districts in the area that use electronic devices for daily learning, which can include iPads, netbooks, Promethean boards and Promethean tables, include the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp., Warrick County School Corp., and the Metropolitan School Districts of Mount Vernon and North Posey.
At ELS, the mobile iPad carts are still used for grades K-3, to introduce the device to the younger students before they get more project-based assignments in fourth grade, when the iPad becomes necessary. Also in fourth grade, the students receive a Google Drive account complete with an email address where documents can be created and shared.
Edmodo is another program often used by teachers to assign homework; students complete the work and can use a chat feature to help classmates, submit it online, then the teacher can grade and make comments. Parents can also access this to ensure their child is completing all assignments. Edmodo reduces the use of paper.
"iPads are intuitive, simple, touch-based and at the kids' age, it's something they put their fingers on and they know right away what to do," Prentice said. "It allows communication, collaboration, creativity, all important skills in the 21st century. Technology is pretty much in every career you take now, it's not a specialized field."
Collectively, most teachers welcomed the one-to-one initiative, he said, but some are still a little reluctant. The more experienced teachers have a routine, so they're cautious with the device because they may not be as familiar and don't want to make a mistake. But to help them feel as comfortable as possible, Prentice holds a technology professional development training session once a month to learn new apps and alleviate the stress. If something isn't working, others can suggest options for teachers.
"Being the first year with all five grades it is a big deal, it is a leap of faith into it," he said. "We want to make it as easy for teachers, parents and students so that they love it and accept it so that we can continue it."
The ultimate goal, Prentice said, is to hopefully move textbooks over to the device.
ELS fourth-grade teacher Patty Eckels admitted she can't imagine the thought of losing the physical textbook in front of the child, but she's not completely opposed to the idea. Eckels, who has 10 years of teaching experience, said she's having a hard time getting rid of books, but read her students an eBook last year and sees the potential with technology.
"It was the first time all year that I had them with me the whole time," she said. "And they would say, I don't know this word, and I'd say well touch it and the definition pops up. So I know it's useful, but I'm still having a hard time letting go of the actual textbook."
When all ELS teachers began using iPads last year, Eckels said she knew there would be many more ways to use technology if each child had their own. In her classroom, students create an interactive math notebook where they record how to complete different steps of a problem, then they can add color and enlarge it. They do this versus simply writing notes.
"If I had them just writing on a piece of paper, they would not be this in tune, I can promise you that," she said smiling.

A dungeon crawler-style action game, only it stars Van Helsing's son. Looks interesting so far.....
Put that music in-game, make awesome cinematics, great story and voice acting and this game is going to rock!
I played this yestderday at Gamescom 2012., It does feel and look like Diablo 3 except the idea of playing in Van Helsing' s universe sounds appealing. I did feel sluggish in movement but the visuals were nice..
what the hell is it????????
just kind of looks like a diablo clone except with way too many enemies.

Ex-justice to mediate museum tiff
Former state Supreme Court Justice and Marquette University law professor Janine Geske has agreed to help mediate the stalemated negotiations between the War Memorial Board and the Milwaukee Art Museum over how their landlord-tenant relationship will change with the launching of a $25 million renovation project.
Geske served on the state's highest court from 1993 to '98 and was interim Milwaukee County executive for 2 ½ months in 2002, after the resignation under fire of then-County Executive F. Thomas Ament. She has extensive experience in mediation and conflict resolution. She also served as a Milwaukee County circuit judge from 1981 to 1993. »Read Full Article(6)

I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
In "The Lucid Eye in Silver Town," Jay August looks back on a day trip he made at age 13 with his father Martin from small-town Pennsylvania to New York City.

On Tap Today: Cudahy Carolers and an alt Nutcracker
You have to wonder how this one would play beyond state lines. Come and be in the know by the nature of where you're located at "A Cudahy Caroler Christmas," a theater production that has a bit of fun with Milwaukee south siders. The musical show includes numbers such as "O Little Town of Cudahy" to the tune of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "We T'ree Guys" for "We Three Kings."
Or how about a version of "The Nutcracker" in trees and poinsettias rather that ballerinas and toy soldiers? Or, if you are in the mood for some dance, why not stop in to see some studying dancers and support the work they do with a pay-what-you-can bargain. »Read Full Blog Post

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jules Awesome in every way Staff was friendly and location is great April 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Renee Improvements The hotel was beautiful. I would like to make a few suggestions that would have made my stay better. First off, there were tons of tiny ants in my room. Which, to an extent I can understand, being on a tropical island. However, there were so many it was gross. They were on my toothbrush and hair brush. Further, my 13 year old daughter had broken her the leg the week before our trip. Your hotel offered no accommodations. April 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sammy Perfect staycation We love the Sheraton Waikiki for our staycation. It's a perfect Kama'aina get-away. April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janne91 Sheraton Waikiki I had such a wonderful experience at the Sheraton Waikiki. All the hotel staff met my expectations. George at Kai market was our server and gave my children toys to play with while we had our meal. That was so helpful for me because my son couldnt keep still. Also Derrick at front desk was very helpful checking me in. April 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Robtheglobetrotter Great location but a little tired In the heart of Waikiki; location can't be beat. Parking included in the daily resort fee was good. Club Lounge has limited hours -- I suggest expand them to 06:00 am to midnight - those guests with club priveleges can access it almost any time to get a coffee or cold bev - as in other locations and brands. The Club Lounge breakfast was carb-heavy and not much protein. Room was clean but "dated" and boring. Felt old. Carpet stained. April 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by travelpro65 Riding on Reputation The Sheraton has a great location...no doubt, but the hotel has seen better days. The hallway wallpaper outside rooms 440,441 was peeling. The shower curtain was very musty and the pipes were very noisy when the shower ran. The check in and check out process is so poorly staffed it is painful. Forty min to check in or out. Sheraton has a system that pulls people from the Starwood Preferred line and if you are a customer in the regular line, you are in purgatory. No guarantee when you may get processed if Starwood customers keep joining their line. All of the tourists who are non-English speaking also slow the process immensely. The lobby and stores are shiny, but the rooms have seen better days. Rooms above the bar area to at least six floors up are VERY noisy until well after midnight. April 7, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by VAD714 Good Time at Sheraton Waikiki After an initial hiccup with an upgrade (we were placed in a newly painted room with very strong paint fumes), we were moved to our original room and had a very pleasant time. The hotel had a variety of "Things To Do", a great location on Waikiki, and great views. April 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Janet73 Great spot Our view was spectacular except when we wanted to sit down on our deck. The cement wall on the deck is not good to see through. The infinity pool is awesome. The Staff were very nice/. April 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Christie Some rooms out-dated, but good service Hello, The arrival to the hotel was the worst part of the trip. I made a reservation a year in advance for a 2 double bed room. Upon arrival they did not have one available. They offered me a triple bed room that was extremely out-dated and Sheraton should be embarassed about the state of this room. I asked for a better room and they offered me a 1 king room which was unacceptable. After waiting for 2 hours for a solution I asked to speak to the hotel manager. Only then was I offered a 2 double bed room that fitted our original booking needs. After an 11 hour flight, no one should have to wait 2 hours to get a hotel room that was booked a year in advance. However, after a solution was found the service provided by the hotel for the remainder of the vacation was terrific! April 3, 2013

The hotel and its surroundings were absolutely gorgeous. To boost the wonderful ambiance that was found everywhere, the staff was excellent and very helpful. After touring other hotels around the same area, I still would choose the Sheraton and would stay at it again in a heartbeat ! Nothing beats sipping on a frozen drink while floating in the infinity pool over looking the ocean at sunset ! March 28, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by honeymoon102 Great facilities This hotel has great facilities, excellent pools, staff and restaurants / bars. It is these facilties that make staying at this hotel definitely worthwhile. I did feel the room could do with some work though. The shower was of very poor quality and the bathroom has a very silly window above the toilet that you can open up into the room. Why someone would want to do so when sitting on the toilet is beyond me and leaves very little privacy for those in the room. March 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jbbromfield787 Lovely view! My room was great! The girl at the front desk was more than wonderful. The overall cleanliness of the room was great, but there was A LOT of long black hair on the floor in the bathroom. March 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeremy96815 Comfortable hotel for three nights Enjoyed our stay for three nights. Room itself was fine and clean. Check-in was pleasant. The hotel is more family-oriented, although they do a good job of separating the kids from adults between the two pools. The shops in the hotel are also convenient, especially the small market/convenience store. The hotel is also conveniently located near shopping centers with many restaurants. Minor points: the TV is somewhat small, especially given the distance from the bed to the TV, and there was a fair amount of noise, such as trucks backing up, due to our room and location. March 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joanna29 Just great I spent a fabulous vacation in the Sheraton Waikiki hotel. Great ocean view from my room, the room was spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and service-oriented. I would recommend this hotel at any time. March 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Veronica This hotel is in a great location First, I am totally disappointed with the Hotel Rates. When I book a hotel I expect all fees to be discussed upfront. It should $325 per night all taxes and resort fees included. Because no matter what $325 per night is what you will end up paying, there is no choice. So why advertise and lure you in with $260 + + +? We have to budget for the $325 not the $260, it is just deceiving. These additional fees should not be in the fine print. It should be front and center with the base rate. In addition, the hotel could use some refresh and uplift. The doors of each room look like bunkers. There are no drawers in the room and only one sink (at least in our bedroom). Every room should also have an IPod dock. The hotel is in a great location but it looked too much like a Vegas hotel instead of a Hawaii hotel!!! March 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MMrobins3 Recent stay Great room, excellent position and great facilities throughout the hotel. March 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SDTom Disappointing The property has a nice location, but the rooms are very spartan and tired looking. Certainly not the same as the pictures on the website. Also, I used Starwood points, which in theory "reward" frequent Starwood guests. Instead my "city view" room was overlooking their parking garage. One of the worst rooms and views I have ever had at a hotel. When I asked to be moved (I had a morning check in), the "friendly" staff insisted they had no other rooms available. Very disappointed in Starwood as well as this property. Next trip, I'll definitely be staying elsewhere. March 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by VS2000 Aloha Spirit found at the Sheraton Waikiki I was pleasantly surprised at the level of kindness and ability to accommodate the needs of the Sheraton guests. The staff exemplified the Aloha Spirit. The hotel is conveniently located on the strip for great shopping. The pools and beach access are great. Thank you for a lovely Spring Break! March 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 22etMimi great location , easy access to shopping and beach Great stay. Very friendly staff, fantastic Concierge facilities, most helpful. Our room had wonderful views of the ocean and adult pool. Both pools lovely. Enjoyable restaurants with gorgeous views to Diamond Head and beach and delicious sea breezes. A must to visit 30th floor for breathtaking sunset views of city, bay and beach. Hard to get sun lounge during day but not a problem for us as we were out and about exploring the sights and shop, shop, shopping ! Great shopping and plenty of good quality restaurants just steps away. Hard to leave and would definitely return. We are very happy customers..... Aloha and Mahalo. March 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lisa63 Needs improvement in some areas After staying at the Sheration Waikiki many times, I feel the standard of service has fallen. The carpet in the rooms were not vacuumed well as I when I dropped something under the bed, there were still large crumbs of foods left from previous guests. Also behind the curtain food crumbs had been left and not cleaned. The bathroom was also of poor cleanilness. I had dropped a part of the hairdryer on the floor and left it there to see if housekeeping would pick it up and it never was. The water tap had toothpaste around the faucet from a previous guests mouth and that was never cleaned off. That to me was disgusting. Also we booked a wake up call and it never came. March 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alan13 I loved the vast majority of the Hotel features. The only negative was the noise from delivery trucks early in the morning. I normally get up at 6:00am. March 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by neeta The infinity pool is nice As a preferred guest, we found no extra attention. We often had to ask for the in-room supply of coffee or the supply of 1 bottle of water. Walls were chipped and dirty in our room. We were unable to secure a late check-out for our evening flight so had to beg for a hospitality room which had dirty towels and hair all over the bathroom - filthy and out-dated decor! March 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MamaOf2 Great Staycation! Staff were all very helpful. The all-ages pool was very fun for our children and especially the kiddie pool for our toddler. She loved exploring the pool w/o being held. My husband & I want to definitely check out the infinity pool next time! The room was great! Shower/Bath was amazing. LOVED that there was a refrigerator and coffee maker in the room. March 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by wacky The best money can buy Best hotel in hawaii, cant wait to go back. March 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lani10 Great family vacation spot Great hotel for the entire family to enjoy. The hotel itself is clean, friendly staff, it has been tastefully kept updated, is centrally located, which makes it easy to cab to sightseeing spots, its surrounded by shops, and most importantly, it's right on the beach! We spent a lot if time at the pool too. There's a nice slide for the kids. The staff at the pool are all very friendly as well, but Bruno really stood out. He went above and beyond to be sure everyone was happy and had what they needed to just relax. He even greeted us with fresh towels when we were fresh off the beach with sandy towels. Because of all of the above, we'd recommend it to family and friends. Mahalo Sheraton Waikiki!!! March 14, 2013

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"We purchased the 2012 LX Sedona used in October of 2013. It now currently has 44,000 miles on it and going strong. We had a 2002 Kia Spectra that I bought new before I was even married. It had close to 200,000 miles on it when I sold it to an indiviual who is still driving it. A wife and two kids later forced us to need another vehicle and there was no doubt that I would look at Kia first. The van is very smooth riding and handles great. Very comfortable on long trips. And the get up and go is nice! I love the looks that I get when the light turns green and I'm gone before anyone; and not even meaning to. Great visability and if there are any "blind spots" I haven't found them. Cons: The wind noise at the driver and passenger windows. I know it is caused by the wind hitting the side mirrors and wrapping around them but it is noisy at times. Kia really should go with the side windows that Ford is going with on their vehicles. (thicker glass like the windshields). Also, the steering wheel has the buttons to control the volume for the radio but it would be nice for there to be a button to change the station from the steering wheel. Minor issues when compaired to the whole vehicle."

I usually only keep a vehicle for about a year and then trade it in but this one i will hold onto for at least another year then maybe trade it in on another one. I had a little bit of trouble with it when i bought it the throttle body went but it was covered and they fixed it right away. It is very roomy and have never had trouble fitting everyone and everything in it. It plays school bus every morning for all the neighborhood kids. :)"

"Smooth ride both city/hwy. Gas milage 20-22 on hwy using cruise at 65-70 mph. Put towing pkg on and pulls 2k# fairly easy. Very pleased with comfort, std features of LX, and unused warranty. Bought for wife and kid/future kid so safety ratings decrease worry. Added under car rustproof and 7yr paint/gloss protection as planning to keep for life of vehicle as expected depreciation for korean make not fabulous (just confirmed -6 to 7 k after 1 yr). Grew up with VW bus and 87 plymouth voyager, so this feels first class to me."

Aviva Premiership: Late Leicester Tigers try denies Bath
Last Updated: 05/01/14 6:09pm
A last-minute try from flanker Jamie Gibson gave Leicester a 27-27 draw in a dramatic finish against old rivals Bath at Welford Road.
The visitors had led after two tries in five first-half minutes, as Anthony Watson and Francois Louw cancelled out Miles Benjamin's earlier score for Tigers.
A try from Jonathan Joseph 10 minutes into the second half then gave Bath a 10-point cushion only for replacement Thomas Waldrom to score Tigers' second and set up a grand finale.
Bath held out until the final minute when Gibson went over to level the scores, but with Owen Williams - who had earlier kicked four penalties - unable to convert, the points were shared.
Williams missed four attempts at goal and that proved the difference for the hosts, who have not lost at home to Bath in a decade.
Impressive Ford
George Ford pulled the strings for Bath and created tries for Louw and Joseph and kicked 12 points, just four days before England head coach Stuart Lancaster names his elite player and Saxons squads.
Nine minutes were on the clock when Benjamin ran in the opening try, benefiting from sustained pressure by Leicester as they crept towards the whitewash.
The ball was spun right and Louis Deacon supplied the scoring pass, although a slight pause in Benjamin's stride gave Bath half a chance of defending the score.
Stung into action, Bath responded with two tries, both created by their threequarters and aided by poor tackling from Leicester.
Nick Abendanon sliced through the home defence as they attacked from a line-out before sending Watson over with wing Niall Morris stranded.
The second try was even better as Kyle Eastmond wriggled through a gap and found Ford who could have completed the run-in himself, but instead fed Louw who galloped over.
Ford's kicking and a missed penalty from Williams put Bath 17-11 ahead, but it was Leicester who threatened next as Benjamin chipped into space only to be undone by an unkind bounce.
A timely steal from Matt Banahan eased the pressure on the visitors' line but with centre Vereniki Goneva proving influential, it was soon back under attack.
Williams hit the mark with a penalty, but Ford replied on the stroke of half-time as Bath crept 20-14 ahead.
Ford was instrumental as the visitors re-established their superiority, initially by producing a fine touch-finder and then delicately teeing up Joseph for his team's third try.
There was still plenty of work for Joseph to do from five yards out, but the England centre showed slippery footwork before reaching out to place the ball down.
Leicester sprang into life as they launched waves of attacks, only to suffer a setback when lock Ed Slater was forced off following a heavy collision.
Bath captain Stuart Hooper was sin-binned for taking a man out at the line-out, but the Tigers declined to kick for goal.
On four occasions Toby Flood made the same decision, and on the last occasion it paid dividends as Waldrom grabbed the ball from the line-out and powered over.
Williams failed to add the extras but the late assault continued, ending with Gibson crashing over in the right corner with a brilliant finish as Banahan sought to bundle him into touch.
But the comeback was only half-complete as Williams missed again from the touchline.

Recent Makawao reviews
"Very clean and well maintained place with a well appointed kitchen, nice deck with a large gas grill and a great view of the sunset and the coast down below. This house sits in a quiet neighborhood away from traffic, but still fairly close to Haleakala National Park, shopping, the airport and beaches."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 10, 2015View listing
"This was by far the best place we stayed at during our recent trip to Hawaii. That included three hotels in Waikiki, and two places on the Big Island. If I have ever dreamed about a place to go to relax, retire permanently , or even a little slice of heaven this is it. We knew it would be good when we drove in after following very well written directions and found our names written on a chalkboard at the front door. From there the discovery of this well-thought out cottage kept us saying "Oh wow!" There's a nice jacuzzi tub when you enter, on a enclosed patio with a reading area and a breakfast table. The living space includes a very comfortable bed and amazing sofa table in the TV area. The kitchen is well equipped, and has a few nibbles to keep you from starving. The best part of all is the bathroom, with a shower room that is covered is green tiles - with live orchids and a skylight. We couldn't say enough positive things about our experience here, would never stay anywhere else in Maui (perhaps except Hana because the trip to get there is so taxing) after staying here. We're afraid to write too good a review because others may book our spot the next time we want to go. If you are interested in this property then look no further, you won't find anything better."Guest: Aussie Boys Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 31, 2014View listing
"I have absolutely no complaints regarding Peace of Maui. Given the affordable price, my experience here actually exceeded my expectations. The owner, Tammi, and her husband Miko are friendly, accommodating, helpful, and fun to be around. Peace of Maui is sort of a cross between a bed and breakfast and a hostel. You and your party will have a private bedroom, but you share with other guests the bathrooms, showers, living room, kitchen and outdoor patio area. The showers are stocked with soap and extra shampoo, the living room is stocked with an endless array of books and brochures about Maui, the kitchen is stocked with dishes, fruit, and breakfast foods, and the patio sports a grill for anyone to use. Each guest also has a designated shelf space and refrigerator space in the kitchen to keep their own food. This makes it easy to eat in during your stay. The community living spaces allow guests to meet in a relaxed environment and share information or experiences with one another. The land that the main building and couple other separate guest houses is on is a couple acres and has a variety of fruit trees. The kitchen is restocked often with fresh fruit from these trees, and you can also pick one off the tree for yourself. Items such as coolers, beach mats and chairs, snorkel gear, etc is available for guests to borrow during their stay. The owner and her family live on the 2nd floor of the building, above the bed and breakfast, so it is easy to cross paths with them should you have a question or need anything. I cannot say enough good things about Tammi and Miko! It is clear that they love and take great pride in Peace of Maui by their hard work, the cleanliness of the place, and their willingness to go out of their way to make sure their guests have a positive experience."Guest: Alison B. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: May 2, 2015View listing
"Pookela Paradise is a quality home. Very well set up. Makawao is lower key than the coastal towns and was nice to escape to in the evenings. Maui was very busy in general and having a quieter place in the country town was so nice. It is cooler in the upcountry and very comfortable. The view is fantastic from the house and you can see the weather all around, then pick your destination for the day. There was 6 people in our party. The open living area is large and very comfortable. The bedrooms are just big enough and having the extra apartment down stairs was perfect to accommodate all our odd time zones. Having the beach gear was an added bonus. Mark was very helpful and accommodating."Guest: Nina B. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 5, 2015View listing

You should know up front that I'm a very independent person and that very much dictates the way I live my life. I'm a think for yourself, life-long learner kind of person and education is my foundation. I have a bachelors degree in secondary education and English, a masters degree in school administration, and I'm currently working on a psychology M.A. I am very excited about being a student again! I've been a teacher for almost ten years now (surprise, surprise ;). I love it, but I'm also ready for some new adventures :) On a day to day basis, I'm very easily entertained. I love spending time at home. I tend to be an introvert, but I love people; people are fascinating. Ultimately, I like to balance social time with time spent alone. You should probably also know I'm all about autonomy, hard work, honesty, charity, and being appreciative of the quality of life I have. I'm very content with the way my life is, but I'm open to being with someone. I don't really have a type, but chemistry is extremely important. I'm also open to meeting new friends :)

The 1930-S is a low mintage issue, with only 96,000 pieces coined. The great majority of this mintage was never released into circulation. The coins remained on hand in the Treasury vaults until the great Gold Recall, at which time they were melted and stored as bullion in Fort Knox. David Akers reports all examples seen are in Mint State grades, probably purchased from the Mint at the time of issue. In A Handbook of 20th Century Gold Coins 1907-1933, David Akers and Jeff Ambio rank this issue fourth in terms of overall rarity in the 32 coin series.
The present coin is an exciting example of this rare issue. The obverse is sharply struck, and the reverse shows only the slightest softness on the eagle's trailing leg, which is always seen on this issue. The coin has excellent luster, with vibrant yellow-gold color. The surfaces are free from the copper spots that often plague this date, and there are no distracting handling marks. The coin possesses excellent overall eye appeal, and is worthy of a place in any advanced collection. Population: 40 in 64, 19 finer (12/08).

Too late to punish: Hillary Adams wants to extend limits on child abuse prosecution
Seeks change in limits on prosecution
CORPUS CHRISTI - The young woman who was 16 when she secretly recorded her father striking her with a belt said she hopes to see changes in laws that limit prosecution of past child abuse cases.
Hillary Adams, 23, said that in the days since the video she uploaded went viral on YouTube, garnering more than 6 million views, she struggled with whether her father, Aransas County family law Judge William Adams, should be prosecuted.
Despite her uncertainty, she wants abuse victims to have the option of pursuing criminal cases, she said, because she knows firsthand that children and teenagers don't always have the wherewithal to speak out until they're older, if ever.
"I want to change the statute of limitations to help some other people out of the situations they've been in," Adams said.
While many of her national TV appearances have focused on why she released the video and her hopes that her father eventually will participate in family counseling, Adams said she wants to use her notoriety in the long term to advocate against child abuse and lobby for changes to protect victims.
Part of the public outcry over the Adams video stems from the lack of prosecution. District Attorney Patrick Flanigan said he couldn't prosecute based on what's in the video because it happened seven years ago and the statute of limitations has expired.
Callers from around the world jammed Aransas County Courthouse phone lines with demands that something be done.
But determining time limits for prosecuting crimes is a weighty responsibility, said Pete Winckler, legislative aide to state Sen. Glenn Hegar, R-Katy, whose district includes Aransas County.
Hegar will study the issue with input from Hillary Adams and could craft a bill for the next legislative session.
"Obviously this has been a pretty shocking event and case," Winckler said. "It's a sad situation, and you want to fix something like that, but you want to not create other problems in doing so."
Statutes of limitations are "a matter of legislative grace," said John Schmolesky, a law professor at St. Mary's University in San Antonio and editor of the Texas Criminal Practice Guide. "There's no constitutional entitlement to them, but there are a number of policy reasons why you might have a statute of limitations."
Evidence and witness testimony may be more scarce and less accurate over time, he said.
"Videotapes like this are indelible, and that's a pretty good record of what happened, but it's not always the case," Schmolesky said.
And limitations, in general, offer a measure of protection against a never-ending threat of prosecution.
"The prospect that you might be prosecuted is a terrible thing to live with, and it puts a limitation on that," Schmolesky said. "That seems to me to be a worthwhile limitation on prosecutorial power."
Winckler said determining limitations is a balancing act.
"The idea behind (limitations) is consistent with our notions of having a speedy trial and a fair defense," he said. "It's going to be more difficult for someone to defend themselves because memories fade."
State law has a catchall limitation of three years for felonies and two years for misdemeanors. But some charges carry different limitations or no limitation at all, as in the case of murder or certain sexual assaults.
Limitations sometimes factor in the quality of the evidence. For example, a sexual assault in which DNA evidence was collected has no limit on prosecution. And crimes in which solid documentary evidence is likely to be factor, such as forgery, are given intermediate limits of seven or 10 years.
If lawmakers debate whether to modify limitations for cases dealing with physical assault of children, they may consider whether they're making the law too complex or more difficult for law enforcement to apply, Schmolesky said.
In 2007 the state Legislature eliminated or extended statutes of limitations for many crimes against children, acknowledging that children may not be in a position to speak out until they're older, Winckler said.
"In Ms. Adams' case, I'm not sure what her recommendation should be," Winckler said. "We're about a year away from the next legislative session, so there's a lot of time to evaluate these things."
Adams said she wants to do more research.
"There's no doubt that the constituents raised the issue, and we need to at least look into it," said state Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi.
There's uncertainty because different cases merit different charges that may carry different limitations, Winckler said.
Determining whether the charge would be a first- or second-degree felony, such as injury to a child, or a misdemeanor, such as assault, hinges on variables such as the victim's age, whether the victim is disabled, the nature of any injuries, and whether a weapon is used.
There's often no obvious reason why a certain limitation applies to an offense. Arson, for example, has a limitation of 10 years from the date of the crime, placing it on par with injury to an elderly or disabled person.
"Somebody 17 years, 11 months old can't be given the death penalty no matter how heinous a murder is committed, but if you're 18 years and one hour, you can be," Schmolesky said. "There are often arbitrary lines that have to be drawn in the law."

Which one? The Foundry or Maelstrom? They're different.

The Foundry. I can only assume Maelstrom is the Republic equivalent since none of my republic characters have levelled up that far yet.
As for the balloon, I did notice it and guessed it's purpose, but had no idea where it stops or gets close enough for you to jump on and wasn't about to spend an hour blindly following it around in order to find out.

'If Kim is appointed, it would be a backward step'
Former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, Sir Richard Jolly, has warned of a potential backlash if the US candidate was appointed as usual.
"If Dr Kim was appointed it would be a real backward political step in the international system, at a time when the world needs fresh thinking," he told the BBC.
"I am not sure that China, India and Brazil will put up with that. They will probably set up their own bank, which has been talked about," Sir Richard said.
The bank plans to name its new president on Monday.
Former World Bank director of policy, Uri Dadush, said his preferred candidate, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, would probably not be appointed, especially if all European countries continued to vote with the US.
He told the BBC World Service that change was imperative at the top of the "vital" development organisation.
"The world is different now, the developing countries... account for most of the growth in the world, so you really need to get a change in these international institutions that reflects the new world economy if they are to remain relevant."
World Bank presidential candidate Jose Antonio Ocampo has called for a change in culture at the organisation and more co-operation with other global lenders.
The Colombian also said the bank had lost ground to other development banks and had not been forceful enough in pushing for fresh funding.
He pointed the finger at outgoing president Robert Zoellick for the lack of capital.
Ocampo said the World Bank needed to become more inclusive.
"The bank has to be a client-based organisation. The first thing the staff have to learn is that working at the country level is actually an improvement in its role for the bank, rather than working in Washington," said the economist and former finance minister.
Former Colombian finance minister and has held other posts in government, including agriculture.
"I think sincerely the problem of working for the World Bank is the sense of superiority."
But he saved his strongest criticisms for Mr Zoellick. "The current president was too shy in asking for a capital increase," he said.
"All the other development banks got huge recapitalisations... The World Bank did not, and I think that's the reason why now the bank is decreasing its lending significantly."
Mr Ocampo made his comments after he was interviewed by the board of the World Bank on Tuesday.
"In advance of the vote, Dr Kim's immediate top priority is to meet with as many of the World Bank's shareholder and client countries as he can to discuss how the bank can best promote growth, combat poverty, and create jobs in developing nations," a US Treasury spokesperson said.
Mrs Okonjo-Iweala had her interview on Monday. Afterwards, she spoke of her "frustration" at what she saw as "inertia" at the bank.
"You have to have the courage to say, 'look, certain things that we've always made this way, they have to go'," she said.
Traditionally, the post is given to the candidate put forward by the US, which on this occasion is Dr Kim. Together with Europe and Japan, it has 54% of the votes to appoint the bank's president.
Under an informal arrangement, in return, Europe appoints a European as head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is the bank's sister institution. Frenchwoman Christine Lagarde currently runs the IMF.
However, emerging economies have become increasingly unhappy with this system and are pushing for change - this year's vote is the first time the World Bank has had to choose between candidates since its creation more than 60 years ago.

The 4-3 Denver Broncos may be playing the best football right now but their record does not reflect it. At 3-4, the Cincinnati Bengals are spiraling downward and descending in the AFC North. A win for the Broncos will help create a larger distance in their AFC West lead and a win for the Bengals will keep them in pace with the Steelers and Ravens.So what is likely to take place at Paul Brown Stadium?Earlier this week, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis called out quarterback Andy Dalton for lacking as a leader and failing to rally the troops on a consistent basis. Averaging 257 passing yards per game, Dalton will try to respond to his coach's criticism but will ultimately cost his team the game by trying to "do too much" and committing costly turnovers. As a result of his coach's pressure, racking up 300 passing yards in a high pass-attempt count, Dalton will throw three INTs, all leading to points for the Broncos and burying the Bengals in a deep hole.With that said, do not expect ...

This RV park is a dump. Saw 2 guys passed out drunk. One was on the side of his junk motorhome. This motorhome is at the entrance to the RV park and is jacked up on blocks with part of the hood missing. I'm told he is working on it. This park is not well kept, the sites are narrow and so are the roads. The laundry is in a metal shipping container that is heated, in cold weather, by a space heater in the winter. No AC during the summer but there is a window that opens. It also has some serious drainage problems. You have to drive on the grass when making a turn. This RV park won't be around very long. - Susie Salida

We have been here since March 2014 with work and when we first came it was fine, but since the owner came in July this place is horrible!! The grass has not been cut in over 4 weeks: knee high, snakes, mosquitos,ticks, scared to walk my dog!! When asked about cutting grass the owner said "stop trying to tell me how to run my business"!! This owner is a joke!! Laundry room is in a box car with 1 door that has a gas water heater by the door & filthy! Fire hazard to say the least! Breaker box has had cover taken off & left open for anyone to touch b/c the man doing electrical work is not licensed! There is someone staying in a tent under one of the covers that has boarded up the sides!! We pay over $500 a month and get talked to with a attitude b/c we asked to get grass cut!! DO NOT STAY HERE!! - Lady J

We stayed here for a month in a brand new fifth wheel. We paid $545.05 for the month. You have to put $100 deposit down that they will supposedly mail back to your permanent address when you leave but everyone I've spoken with here says nobody gets it back. The rules state that if you leave tire tracks in the grass, you have to fill them in and put grass seed down. Our entire spot has been under at least 2" of water since we got here and there will undoubtedly be tire tracks when we leave. The managers are extremely rude, the worst I've ever come across. Right after we checked in and parked, I asked if our spot floods when it rains and was told I could build a deck if I was worried about it. The narrow roads are full of potholes, on top of the "speed dips" they have purposefully dug in the roads. The WiFi doesn't work with Apple devices and only works in the office. There are 4 washers & dryers and the laundry is only open during office hours (1/2 day Saturday and closed on Sunday). Also, they do not give change for the machines. I was told I could go to a few different gas stations to try and get quarters. My fiancé and I received a package but I wasn't allowed to pick it up because it had his name on it, not mine. Less than half the sites are paved or gravel. Our spot is mud/grass. It is an RV and mobile home park combined. There are only 2 RV parks in Slidell, so there isn't much of a choice where to stay, but I will definitely not be returning here, ever. - R-Gill513

We enjoyed our two night stay! The roadway was very little gravel and dirt to your very rough rv pad. Give yourself enough room to enter and exit your very narrow rv spot. Plan on your tires being on the slushy muddy grass when entering and exiting. Being a photogapher I really enjoyed the lake at the back end of the park. Lot's of wild birds, turtles, etc.. In our travels fulltime we found this to be on the spendy side...I'm sure because of the proximity to New Orleans. Would we stay again? Maybe! - Full Timers 2
Dec 2014 - $38.00
We stayed here for 4 nights to visit New Orleans as there isn't much to choose from in the area.
The park is easy to get to & from I-10.
This park is somewhat different than other parks due to the combination of mobile home and RV sites. Plus the office has limited hours on the weekends (open Saturday mornings and closed all day Sunday) so if you plan on arriving when the office is closed, reservations would be good idea if you want the WiFi and restroom access codes.
The interior roads are a mixture of paved & gravel. The roads are narrow so vehicles parked along the road created a problem. The combination of the narrow roads, turn radii and vehicles parked along the roads made the turns tight for longer motor homes.
The "Premium" sites have narrow concrete parking pads. There is a mixture of pull throughs & back ins. The pull through sites were not long enough for our 40' MH with the toad attached. The concrete pads were generally level. Not much privacy between the sites. They have full hook ups - water, electricity (20/30/50 AMP), & a sewer connection that were generally midway along the side of the site. There was an outside table on either a small concrete pad or grass. There were only a few trees in this section so they didn't create much of a problem. But one of them showed signs of being hit by a passing vehicle.
Some of the trees in the park could interfere with satellite reception.
WiFi reception was surprising fast for TengoInternet. But to use the connection, you have to either have or establish an account with TengoInternet.
There was no fenced pet area. There was sufficient area to walk dogs along the park's roads but some of the long term residents allowed their dogs to run at large and had no voice command control over the dogs. There were no bag dispensers around the park to pick up waste. There were receptacles in the middle of the park to dispose of waste. - bsb814

Arizona Cardinals
Carson Chats: Cardinals QB wants to get hit a little bit
GLENDALE, Ariz. - Quarterback Carson Palmer, now in his second year with the Arizona Cardinals, meets with the media several times during training camp.
Here, in this space, we'll highlight many of the key topics and personnel conversations he has with reporters following the morning walk-through:
On looking forward to the first preseason game against the Houston Texans...
"I actually always hope to get knocked down a bunch of times during the preseason just because if you don't, you get to Week 1 of the regular season, Week 1, 2, 3 and if your body is not used to being that kind of sore because it's so rare -- it only happens five months a year -- that soreness kind of lingers on through the week for a little bit longer, so I like to get that soreness out of the way before the regular season starts."
On facing the Cardinals defense on a daily basis...
"It's a challenge. The personnel is very well built. But more than anything, it's the scheme. Coach (Todd) Bowles puts in a new defense every day, a new blitz every day. You can't get a beat on what you think is coming. He'll show you a look where they're bringing one free safety one day and then they'll have the exact same look four periods later in practice and it's a blitz from the other side of the field that looks exactly the same. They do a ton, and it's very well built and very well orchestrated. I have a ton of respect for the way he coaches those guys and the way he prepares them and changes things up consistently."
On the goals for the preseason opener
"Just being efficient. I don't know how many reps we'll get, but whether it's one drive or two drives, you want to go down the field and score and not settle for a field goal; and just see us be efficient, see the mental errors disappear and just see guys controlling what they can control and doing their jobs."
And getting hit; have you shared that with your offensive line?
"No, I don't want those guys knowing that. It's just kind of something I've learned over the years and experienced year in, year out going through preseason and getting into the regular season. If we miss a block here or there, that's OK."
It really does help get ready for the regular season...
"You can't replicate standing up and just getting slammed into and knocked a couple of feet in the air, then hitting the ground and rolling. Your body is not used to it. You can lift weights�there's a million things you can do�but unless you do that, your body is not used to it. It just gets your muscles used to that soreness, that type of soreness."

Lazy or Pregnant???
I have put out a reward for anyone who can locate my energy. I am 14 weeks tomorrow and hoping that I get it back within the next couple of weeks.
I'm with you! I am nearing my second trimester and still feel so sick and tired. With my other pregnancies, it's usually let up by now.
some times, it takes longer to come back. Other times it never does. I know with #1 I felt amazing around week 15. With #2, it was like 17 or so before I felt more normal. This time, I"m starting to feel less green, but I'm still super tired. I don't expect it to lift until at least 16 this time around.
Hope your fog lifts soon!
I'm sure all of you will get sick of me posting this!
But I read that creating a boo is like running a marathon everyday with the crazy body, mind and spirit changes (and I'm also sure that some naysayers will slam the marathon comment).
So I say rest, eat and chillax if you can - in no time you won't have time to "kick it."
So unproductive! Haha

Boiling Point Elevation - Concept
Kendal Orenstein
Kendal Orenstein
Rutger's University
M.Ed., Columbia Teachers College
Kendal founded an academic coaching company in Washington D.C. and teaches in local area schools. In her spare time she loves to explore new places.
Boiling point elevation is a colligative property of solutions. Solutions boiling points are higher than that of the solute or solvent because the vapor pressure of solutions is lower. A boiling point is when the vapor pressure of the solution becomes equal to the external pressure, so when the initial vapor pressure is lower, it takes more heat to elevate the vapor pressure to the same point.
Alright so one of the properties that you're going to see in class, is we're going to talk about boiling point elevation and that is the temperature difference between the boiling points of a solution and that of a pure solvent. Now as you can probably guess from the title it's actually going to increase from the solvent to the solution, solution is going to have a higher point than the solvent. And why is that? Let's define point first. Boiling point is when vapor pressure of whatever substance you're dealing with is going to equal the atmosphere pressure of the pressure around it. Okay great let's say we have a pure solvent, let's say we have a beaker of water. We know that the surface of water, there's particles that are going to escape into vapor pressure into vapor back and forth back and forth and there're going to have some sort of pressure up here.
And as we heat the substance that pressure is going to raise due to kinetic energy increasing and it's going to eventually reach the atmosphere pressure and then boil okay. So let's over to a solution that you'll put something in it salt, sugar or whatever your solute maybe and to make that solute to actually dissolve these water molecules are going to surround it. So these water molecules are actually really attracted to the solute that's in the solution. So what's going to happen is they'd rather be around these dots or these solute particles than escaping into vapor, so it's already going to start off at a lower vapor pressure. So they actually have to go increase kinetic energy a lot more to reach that vapor pressure to equal the atmosphere pressure because they're already starting in a lower place. So that temperature is going to have to be a lot higher or depending on what the solvent is to that atmosphere pressure and then boil.
Okay so let's talk about different solvents and how the solutes are actually affected by that. So let's about water, we know water boils at a 100 degrees Celsius and it's found for every molar of solute that you put in there it's going to increase the boiling point temperature by 0.512 degrees Celsius. Benzene boils at 80.1 degrees Celsius and every molar or every mole per kilogram of Benzene you put in is going to raise the temperature 2.53 degrees Celsius or boiling point temperature that much and so on and so forth. So basically, in a nutshell, we have a formula here called the boiling point elevation formula and this is a change in temperature of the boiling point that delta T is going to the changing temperature times that constant that you see for every molar that's in the amount of degrees Celsius is going to increase.
Times on molar, in the morality which is mole of the solute divided by the kilograms of the solvent and we're going to multiply it by the Ben Hoff Factor or how much it's actually dividing out for a number of electrolyte actually dissolve and separate themselves in water. So if you have 1 molar of let's say NaCl you're actually going to have 2 molars of particles. So that is what we call a Ben Hoff Factor. So let's actually look at that in real life. It says what is the new boiling point of a 0.029 molar of an NaCl solution? Okay so we put salt in water and we're going to know the new boiling point of this water. So we can just look at our formula and say our change in temperature is going to equal the constant and now we're dealing with water because we know it's an aqueous solution, so our solvent is going to be water so when we look at out table and for every molar it's going to raise 0.512 to degrees Celcius that's what I'm going to say 0.512 degrees Celsius per molar.
We know our molarity is 0.29 and out Ben Hoff Factor is going to be 2 because for every molar of this is going to actually break up, for every 1 mole of NaCl is going to break up into 2 moles of particles. So our Ben Hoff Factor in this case is going to be 2, okay so we multiply all these together and we should get 0.030 degrees Celsius. This is not our new boiling point, this is just a change in boiling point, so our new boiling point is, original boiling point was 100 degrees Celsius, it's going to change or increase because or increase because we know it's elevating by 0.030 degrees Celsius. And so our new boiling point is 100.030 degrees Celsius, the new boiling point of this solution. Okay and this is why you can think about when you're cooking and you're staring some salt into a pot of water not only are you for flavor you're actually increasing the boiling point of that water. So when you're dealing with like let's say pasta you actually can cook pasta a little bit faster because your boiling point is actually a little bit higher than 100 degrees Celsius and you can cook it at something a little bit higher if you put more in, the more the higher the higher the temperature is going to be. But don't put so much salt in there because it's going to be over salted and over flavored. But either way that is boiling point elevation.

A Comparison of Correspondence Between Planned and Actual Study Time and Between Actual and Reported Study Time and the Effects of a Classed-Based Point System on Each for College Freshman
Sowers, Jo-Ann
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectCollege students--Study and teaching; College students--Achievement; Study skills--Students--Education (Higher)
The problem. The effect of a class-based point system on planned, actual, and reported study time was evaluated in this study. Procedure. Thirteen provisionally admitted university freshmen were required to earn 12,000 points to pass Education 12. Students could earn points at different times by one of the following means: planning to study a minimum of 15 minutes, reporting study a minimum of 15 minutes, increasing the level of actual study to correspond to the level of planning or to the level of reporting. A study area was established in the library and a monitoring system was used to check to see if students were actually studying according to their plans or reports. Findings. The results of this study demonstrated that a higher degree of correspondence exists between actual and reported study time than between planned and actual study time. The data showed that a classed-based point system was effective in increasing actual study time to better correspond with planned and reported study time. Conclusions. Actual study can better be monitored and controlled through reported study than planned study. Recommendations. College counselors should attend more closely to their students' reported study time rather than to their planned study time.

Growing up in Colorado, Scott developed a lifelong passion for the outdoors. An avid skier, mountaineer and paddler, Scott has spent much of his life chasing the next adventure. After graduating from CU-Boulder in 2001, Scott was called to the ultimate adventure and joined the US Army. For the better part of the next decade, Scott served in various leadership capacities and deployed to combat on numerous occasions in support of the Global War on Terror. After Honorable Discharge, Scott followed his passion once again moving to the Vail Valley of Colorado. He explored the mountains and rivers as a backcountry/rafting guide in the summers and worked as an on-mountain risk management professional for a major ski resort operator during the winters.

He spent most of his adolescent years playing basketball, mountain biking, 4-wheeling and back-packing the Rockies. An inquisitive person by nature, he enjoys sharing interesting facts and helping guests surpass their own perceived limitations. If you have never jumped in a cold alpine lake just for the rush, Eric will be more than happy to accompany you. Eric has a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Studies from the University of Colorado as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology from Colorado State University.

Originally from Galveston Island in Texas, Lauren grew up loving the outdoors and travel. Pursuing her passion, she attended the great Texas A&M University and obtained a bachelor's degree in Recreation, Park, and Tourism Sciences (class of 2012, whoop!). While at A&M, Lauren did a study abroad to New Zealand and was an active member/president of the snow skiing and mountain biking club. After going on several ski trips to Colorado, Utah and Lake Tahoe, she decided to move up to the Boulder area in the summer of 2013. Lauren loves to ski, mountain bike, hike and just about anything in the great outdoors! Some of her best memories include trips to Crested Butte and Telluride. After being a travel agent for 3 years, she decided it was best to move on to something more specialized. Lauren joined the team at The World Outdoors in early 2015 where she handles the reservations and guest services.
