"Billion-Dollar Fish - the Untold Story of Alaska Pollock"
Kevin M. Bailey combines his years of firsthand pollock research with a remarkable talent for storytelling to offer the first natural history of Alaska pollock. Crucial to understanding the pollock fishery, he shows, is recognizing what aspects of its natural history make pollock so very desirable to fish, while at the same time making it resilient, yet highly vulnerable to overfishing. Bailey delves into the science, politics, and economics surrounding Alaska pollock in the Bering Sea, detailing the development of the fishery, the various political machinations that have led to its current management, and, perhaps most important, its impending demise.
1:00 pm: Sylvia Taylor
"The Fisher Queen"
The politics of selling fish, the basics of tying gear, near-death experiences, endless boat troubles, the emotional perils of sharing cramped quarters are all part of a steep and unforgiving learning curve. Taylor's story captures the reality of life on a fishboat and documents the end of an era, a time when the fishing industry wasn't yet marred by unchecked overfishing or hyper-regulation. Her lyrical, simple prose explores the tight-knit relationship of fishers with the west coast's wild, untamed waters.
3:00 pm: Don Pepper
"Fishing the Coast - A Life on the Water"
Fishing the Coast: A Life on the Water, finally addresses commercial fishing as seen through the eyes of a commercial fisherman. Pepper has been a skiff man, a beach man, a cook, an engineer, and later an economist working with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. He's fished roe herring, sardines and salmon. Commercial fishing changed profoundly through the years Don Pepper was out on the water, but even today, it's still about the boats, the fish, and the skilled people searching for their catch.

11:00 am: Corey Arnold
"Fish-Work: The Bering Sea"
The photographs in "Fish-Work: The Bering Sea" capture moments from Arnold's grueling retreats as a crew member aboard fishing boats in the Bering Sea. With scenes of boat life so vivid that some shots can induce fear or seasickness, the artist's perspective also reveals the tender soulfulness of a fisherman's extended life at sea. His skillful compositions depict the simultaneous bravery, toil, humor and gumption that "fish-work" demands.
1:00 pm: Mark Maricich
"The Greenhorn's Guide to Alaska Fishing Jobs"
Since 1992, "The Greenhorn's Guide to Alaska Fishing Jobs" has helped thousands of job seekers find fishing jobs in Alaska. In fact, many members of the Alaskan commercial fishing industry simply refer to the guide as "The Book" that people read when looking for fishing jobs. This greatly expanded version of "The Greenhorn's Guide", updated in 2013, further supports its place as the leading, step-by-step guide to employment in the Alaskan fisheries, which includes salmon, halibut, crab, cod, pollock, deck hand & processor jobs.
3:00 pm: Louis B. Boone, Jr.
"Wrangell Narrows at a Glance"
Wrangell Narrows at a Glance is a book written for anyone who has an interest in Wrangell Narrows. The book was created to ease safe passage for mariners while providing an abundance of information for the reader. In addition, it is designed for any person who enjoys the history of the beautiful state of Alaska, and this renowned waterway.

"Drawing on our History: The Fishing Vessels of the Pacific Northwest & Alaska"
Drawing on our History, Fishing Vessels of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska is a book that covers commercial fishing vessels from the carved cedar canoes built by the Native tribes of the Pacific Northwest of the U. S. and British Columbia and the Ikyaks (kayaks) of the Aleuts through all of the early and contemporary commercial vessel types including the most up to date freezer longliners launched and delivered in 2013.
12:30 pm: David Esson Young
"The Uchuck Years"
Young's gripping first-hand accounts of stormy passages through waters once known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific" are interspersed with his anecdotes about the colourful boss loggers and hermits who make this storm-tossed but incredibly scenic wilderness one of coastal BC's most fascinating places. The Uchuck Years is transportation history par excellence, a great seafaring yarn, and an important history of one of BC's most charismatic regions.

just a girl...
So I feel like I answered a lot of questions already so sorry if I'm repeating info. I'm 32, I have a older sister and a younger brother, I love to laugh, I'm kinda a homebody, but I'm usually willing to try new things. I moved to Florida to live with my sister while I'm going back to school to become a registered nurse, and I graduate in April :). I love to laugh and even more than that I love making others laugh. I love music and on more than one occasion have been referred to as a human ipod...I almost always have a song in my head. I'm clever, but not when I'm trying...like right now. I think randomly and appreciate the randomness in others. I try to work out, but I'm not going to lie, it doesn't take much to convince me not to. I love the show friends, if you can quote it, then we can be friends. Although ideally I would love a long term relationship...realistically I'm just hoping to find someone to hang out with and try new things. Someone who values the importance to singing crazy loud and obnoxiously in the car. Someone who can look past the messy parts of me along with the good. Someone who understands that writing this little paragraph is freakin hard ;)...and now thanks to MTV I can add the fear of being "catfished".
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Religion/Spiritual
Aerobics, Baseball, Dancing, Inline skating, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I have 1 cat, and a Dog that doesn't live with me because I am gone too much to keep a dog locked in an apartment.
My favorite thing is going to concerts, big or small I love music. I like sporting events, and I've always wanted to go to a comedy club because there is nothing I love more than laughing.
Texas State University–San Marcos, San Marcos, TX
my favorite food is cheese, favorite color is pink or yellow, my beverage of choice is dr. pepper or sweet tea. I love most music
I love dancing...I like just relaxing with my friends, I'm fairly low key, but I'll try anything once.
Other than text books...A book by Jodi Piccoult- My sisters keeper, it was really good, I'm not a big novel reader but I got it to read on a plane and got hooked.

Phear my shitty architecture!
I tried rllyrlly hard at this one, but it obviously failed, so it is in DIRE NEED of really harsh, steamy, INTENSE critique.
It's an alien landscape from some fictional world I made up some time in 2004, which explains the weird, red, plate-shaped "grass" and the weird alien "trees" and junk.
But, anyway, just critique it! NOWNOWNOW! And don't try to spare my feelings, either.

December 18th, 2006 #3
oooookkkaayyy.... your perspective is WAY off. you really need to work on that. and this shouldn't have been that difficult, its just boxes.
study perspective!!
second, why are you drawing shit from a made up alien world? seems like you're trying to cheat yourself, "oh, well its an ALIEN tree, it doesn't have to look like a REAL tree, OH its ALIEN grass, its supposed to look like that..."
see what im sayin?
you need to draw whats in front of you. GO OUTSIDE and draw REAL trees, REAL grass, REAL buildings, etc. once you get those things down you can then make ALIEN trees that are actually believable.
some people try to do the same thing by drawing creatures all the time, "yeah, the anatomy is SUPPOSED to be weird because its an alien"
well, what makes GOOD creature design work(and environment design) is when its based in reality. your "alien tree" isn't a tree. it looks more like a sculpture. but if it was based on a real tree it might actually work.
and drawing whats in front of you will make OUR jobs easier because WE'LL have a reference. if you're trying to draw a tree, we'll be able to go outside and look at a tree and see where you're going wrong and be able to help you better. if you're drawing an ALIEN tree, well... we've never really SEEN this alien world you made up. so we cant really help you with that can we?

You need to work on perspective and lighting both. Repeat advice to draw from OBSERVATION... when you get a good handle on making real trees convincing, then do alien trees.
There is however some very nice linework going on in those rocks in the lower corner.

I agree on the critiques. I also wanted to say that adding a poll is a great idea, instead of making people think on an answer, give them choices
Perspective, lighting, color, search for the andew loomis book called "succesfull drawing", youll learn most of what you need there, good luck
December 18th, 2006 #7seems like you're trying to cheat yourself, "oh, well its an ALIEN tree, it doesn't have to look like a REAL tree, OH its ALIEN grass, its supposed to look like that..."
Second of all, I never said that in the first place. I'd NEVER say something as brainless and as stupid as that.
Fine, so I don't draw from life half as much as I should, but that gives you no reason to write me off as some self-absorbed fucker that's always trying to squirm their way out of getting better.
December 18th, 2006 #8
ok, first off: i said "seems like"
i didn't say thats what you were doin. i was using that as an example to illustrate the importance of drawing from life.
besides, there are 10billion OTHER "artists" that DO do that every day, and yes, some post here with the exact same kind of post "critique me" then they get all pissed off when you tell them their trees look funny, then they say "well its supposed to look that way"
it happens here EVERY DAY. i dont know if you're one of them or not.
soooo, just chill bro. take the advice given and move on.
December 18th, 2006 #9
Argh. I'm sorry, I read your post wrong, there. Sorry I got so bent out of shape about it.
I see your point. No hard feelings, right?
December 18th, 2006 #10
GSwirly - Ok so i have some thoughts for you on what could help. I understand that this is a created universe with completely different rules, laws, guidelines ... etc. so maybe you could include some description of this different world so us as viewers don't completely mistake every thing going on as you being unable to draw.
1. your perspective is not as strong as it should be, if you are wanting to have wonky structures then make sure we can tell that you want it to be like that. Sometimes trying to be subtle is a bad thing because it is hard to tell if one is doing something on purpose or if it is a mistake. Just be aware of that.
you have to horizon lines, this would happen even if you have made up world. Also your vps are to close together so your perspective becomes really distorted which isn't always flattering for a drawing.
2. your forms aren't reading, and i am assuming this a 3d world since you are indication shadows. try to think about what you want the form to read like. if you are having a hard time with that brake things down as simple as possible cones triangles, spheres... etc. also try to do studies of anything that is similar to what you are doing. your trees kind of look like cypress so maybe study what they look like and then go from there.
3. light source, you need to be consistent with it, and remember cast shadows.
4. architecture is really poor in this, i know it is made up please do research and studies to help yourself make more believable structures. There are a lot of designers out there that do crazy stuff you just need to look for them. look up Lebbeus Woods and Santigo i really like these two. There are tons so get research from.
other thoughts i have is you should get a book on perspective. Knowing this will help you so much when it comes to drawing, just remember it takes practice. great book on perspective link
work on composing the image and your colour choice is a bit to out of the box Crayola for me.
as for what complete2 has said he tends to be a bit on the aggressive side sometimes but he usually always has some good points. If you are going to make the tree like that at least make it look like it could really exist and have some sort of reasoning why besides saying because i wanted it that way. make the form read and watch your perspective.
hope this helps. have to go back to work! eeek

If you wanted to focus on the landscape, it would probably have been better to have used landscape format for the canvas, it's too squashed in horizontally. Also, there's no depth, the further away something is, the more hazier it appears, like its fading into the sky.
December 19th, 2006 #12Originally Posted by Griswald
when hes saying "the further away things are the hazier they appear, like they're fading in to the sky", YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT. he's saying "thats the way it SHOULD be"
griswald, you need to be more clear. good crit, but not explained fully. your post could be easily misunderstood.
see, i drink a few beers before i write my crits with the hope that if it makes sense to someone whos drunk, ANYONE should be able to understand it.
haha, and right now, im drunk and your post was confusing.
so there.

Overall Experience
More comfortable stay with a kitchenette
July 03, 2015
The kitchenette and a door for the bedroom make all the difference
Comfortable bed and great room
June 30, 2015
I enjoyed the bed most of all. The room was spacious, and most comfortable. It was quiet also. I love having the bar type table for using a computer because it is so spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I definitely would recommend this motel to anyone.

This property was EXCEPTIONALLY clean and the staff was very friendly and efficient.
My only concern was the ventilation system into the bedroom. The hole cut through the wall with the fan in it is a decent enough idea, but to get sufficiant air-flow for a very hot day, the fan had to be turned so high that sleep was difficult. We were able to get mmch better air flow with the bedroom door open.
Outstanding Hotel
June 30, 2015
Courteous staff and extremely clean facilities. Observed custodial staff shampooing stairwell access and scrubbing grout on floors in common area after hours. Great attention to detail.

During the third day of the Texas Bar Exam, according to the Texas Board of Law Examiners (BLE), test takers are expected to complete 12 essays in 6 hours on the following areas of law:
- Uniform Commercial Code (2 essays)
- Business Associations, including corporations, agency and partnerships (2 essays)
- Family Law (2 essays)
- Wills and Administration (2 essays)
- Real Property (2 essays)
- Trust and Guardianship (1 essay)
- Consumer Law (1 essay)
- Cross-over Topics
Questions on family law, trusts, wills and administration, and oil and gas law may contain elements of such topics as taxation and bankruptcy law
The BLE has provided outlines for real property and consumer law essays topics.
According to the BLE, since July 2010, of the 23 essay exams given, 7 have contained cross over elements including 1 essay asking about the effect of a bankruptcy stay on a foreclosure sale. Two essays had questions about the federal estate tax, 1 essay had a federal gift tax element, and 1 essay asked about the tax advantages of a limited liability partnership versus a corporation.
Starting in February 2009, the BLE began posting on its website selected answers to the bar exam day 3 essays as opposed to the BLE's earlier practice of posting comments. These selected answers were chosen for publication because the essays demonstrated length and quality of essays that received above average scores.
According to the BLE, these selected essay answers should not considered "model" answers as examinees completed the essay questions without the benefit of law books and under strict time constraints.
Preparing for all of Those Essays!
How does a law student prepare to write 12 essays in 6 hours? Well, this portion of the bar exam not only requires that examinees demonstrate knowledge of tested legal principals but examinees must also be able to produce well written essays. So, law students must make sure to practice and refine their verbal communication skills well in advance of the Texas Bar Exam.
Good luck on the Bar Exam!

Has any ever been told this before? I went to the doc today because I was and still am bleeding and after doing the ultrasound was told that everything looked ok not sure where the bleeding is coming from BUT was told that the umbilical cord was short and should be longer. I was told that this could be a neurological defect and they sent me to get my blood drawn for Down Syndrome. I am even more afraid now then I was about the bleeding. Has anyone been told this before?
Short Umbilical Cord????
I've had two babies with short cords (~12 inches) and have never once had anyone mention anything to me about defects. I know a 2-cord vessel is an indication, but I've never heard of a short cord being an indication. I've also never had any problems from the short cords, other than not being able to bring the baby all the way to my chest once they came out. They had to sit on my belly until the cord stopped pulsing, which was slightly uncomfortable since I had a waterbirth both times.
Christine, Mama to�Ava (6), Alder (4), Sadie (2), and Emmett born�7/15/11.� All born at home in the water!
Thank you so very much you just made me feel a helluva lot better than I was feeling. What I think it is is that they have no explantion for why I am bleeding so they gave me something else to worry about seeing that as of right now the baby is fine.
I have chronic high blood pressure and was told that high blood pressure can cause short umbilical cords as well. I wouldn't be too worried. There are other reasons for that besides downs.
We welcomed our RAINBOW Baby, Isabella Judith, 06.18.11 @37 wks 4 days!
( . Y . ) GOLD BOOBIES!! Yay!
Angel Baby 08/2010
I think the only risk involved is that short umbilical chord may lead to complications in a vaginal birth.
She is very intelligent and has no health issues so I am not sure why your doc referred to downs!
my doc told me that a short umbilical chord is just luck and is not an indication of nothing sinister, we were discussing it because my current baby has a big umbilical chord apparently!
I personally was born with a short Chord! Im brilliant, funny & beautiful! =)
LOL! Seriously tho...it was very short! My mother pushed for over 24 hours with me natural (I hear the story ALL the time) & in the end it was difficult for them to completely get me out but I was a very healthy baby who has grown into a pretty well rounded woman I think! You're going to be fine!

My baby was just born 9 weeks early by emergency c section. I had a placental abruption around 12 weeks and bled the whole pregnancy. They sent the placenta out to be tested and found the umbilical cord was short. They said it could be because of the first abruption, that then she wasn't moving around as much so the cord didn't grow. No problems at all, except that the placenta did pull away, which is why I had the emergency c section.
My baby had a short umbilical cord when he was born. He kept laying on it when I went into labor, so his heart rate dropped every time he moved. I had to go and have an emergency C-Section, but I have a happy, healthy 6lb little boy! I had no idea about his short umbilical cord until I was in labor, since the only ultrasound I had was at 29 weeks.

Grand Canyon, 4 days, offroad. 7/5-7/8/10
Az Tom & i went on our annual grand canyon ride.. i'll get the report up in a few days. I've got a lot of video clips to upload, pics to crop, & report to write.
We had a great ride.. we went a little later than usual this year, but it was still a good time to go.. not too hot, nice & cool in the mornings, & of course great views. Here's a few bits to start things off, & i'm sure Tom will have a few pics of his own to post.

Bought a Tengai that I plan to ride out to my Mom's place in Phoenix and leave it so I can fly out for a long weekend every now and then to do trips like the one you just took. I love the Grand Canyon, what to visit the north rim sometime soon.

Grand Canyon 2010, Day 1.
Grand Canyon, July 2010
Every year I try to take at least one ride to the Grand Canyon.. it's close, it's amazing, it's a wonder of the world, for crying out loud! So this is a must do ride for me.. the highlight of my year.. probably the only reason i haven't despaired of living altogether.. well, maybe not the only reason.
So anyway, this year we got a little later ride in than usual, but it was fairly cool & we were mostly in higher elevations. We had 4 or 5 riders who were going to come, but things came up for everyone except Tom & I. So we met in Cottonwood, Az at Bill Gray road about 7am on 7/5, & began another epic ride to the Grand Canyon. I had rooms reserved at the maswik lodge & Tom always liked going there for the long island iced teas.
Bill Gray road turns to dirt almost immediately, & meanders in the foothills until we hit the powerline road going up Casner Mountain. This is a great ride by itself, & the first time we've done it at the start of the Grand Canyon ride.
The staging area.. just the bikes with the big church in the background.
We went up Bill Gray road for a while, then started up the powerline road, through the gate (no 4 wheeled vehicles!), & climbed the mountain. It is steeper than it looks in the video.. but when i look back, you can see how high we came. This part wasn't a particularly hard switchback.. i just was slowing to look at the views, & lost my momentum, then my balance.. my only drop of the ride, & we got into much nastier terrain. Perhaps i could suggest that i 'stopped' on purpose to take some pictures?
The view from where i 'stopped' in the above video..
More climbing up Casner..
The view toward Sedona.. it was a little hazy early in the morning from the fires on the north rim, & the ones that are mostly under control to the north east of Flagstaff.
..still more of the casner climb..
Here's Tom taking on one of the switchbacks..
The view to the northwest. It's getting some morning sun. We're still only about halfway up. We started at about 3k ft, & will climb to over 7k in the pines.
The riders.. Scotty & Tom.. hiding our faces under our helmets so as to travel incognito.
Once you get to the top of casner, there is still more climbing & following a ridge or saddle with spectacular views on either side. In the morning light, the green hills to the east overlap each other with great shadows.
Southeast toward Sedona..
Climbing again from the saddle..
more later..

My ride report will be short & not very exciting. Great 4 days of riding. It's funny while I am riding I am fairly calm but when I get home & see Scotts videos I get terrified My only mistake on this ride was leaving my WRR home in the garage. The Honda does great but is a handfull some places for this old guy. Only real problem was on our way home Scotty took me on this trail that went through a closed gate that had a sign that said mountain bikes only. I soon found out my 650L did not have mountain bike capabilities . Scotty needs to know he is not the benificiary of my life insurance, I don't even have any life insurance Overall best ride to date.

Our rooms
On the way home we stopped at Grand Falls for lunch & were immediately surrounded by savage killers looking to take our scalps They were everywhere above us. After furthur inspection they decided we didn't have much to offer I pulled out my Golden Eagle National Parks pass & showed it to them & they let us go on our way.

day 1 continued..
Once on top, we got into the pines. The vegetation changes & the air gets cooler.. we're probably about 6500' in this area.
There were still plenty of rocky roads, though..
We had some views of the burn in the area last year.. it looks like they have been harvesting some of the burnt timber, which removes future fire fuel, & gets at least something good from the fire. It still looks bad, & you can smell the smoke as you pass through, even though it hasnt' rained in a while.
we were heading for Park, an old route 66 stop near I-40. We got on some nice cool roads in the pines.
After we crossed I-40, we filled our tanks in Park, had an ice cream break, & continued our way north to the canyon. We had a short bit of pavement around the I-40 corridor. But the road turned back into dirt, & we got onto the old stagecoach roads that are common in the area.
There was a lot of wildlife along these roads.. they were pretty slow getting off the road sometimes.. But you should always approach cows very slowly.. you want to make sure they don't spook & jump into you or suddenly dart in front of you.
It was only about 10am, but we both had a sudden urge for a hamburger..
The terrain changed again & the pines slowly disappeared. We were now in open high prairie. There weren't too many trees, but some sage & a few grasses..
The road went on for miles.. long, flat & wide open.
We were on the coconino rim road for some of the ride, the Az trail for some, then got on grandview road as we got closer to The Canyon.
Soon we got off the dirt & turned onto hwy 64 that follows the canyon rim. We stopped here for our late lunch, enjoyed the views for a while, then turned to the village & our room for the night. It was now about 3pm. We had been riding for about 8 hrs in some pretty tough terrain. Plus we had to hit the tavern & sample the local brews, & get ready for some serious dinner fare.
No longer incognito.. posing for the paparazzi. Fortunately, there were mostly europeans & other foreigners at the GC & they didn't recognize us.
While staggering back from the tavern, we came upon a couple of these guys browsing along the railroad tracks.. There must have been a bright spotlight shining.. surely we weren't going home while it was still light..
We made it back to the room somehow, & fell asleep after catching some sportcenter for the important news of the day. We had a big day planned for tomorrow.. a long ride to the east of the canyon & through the Navajo rez.
End of Day 1.

Day 2.
Day 2.
Switchbacks, travertine & solitude.
I got up to catch some early morning views while Tom went through his morning routine.
We were heading for the east side of the canyon & knew we'd be in for a long day. So we got an early start & gassed up in desert view at the east entrance. We went down the rocky switchbacks that came out in the Navajo rez. It was very rocky, steep, rutted & required all our concentration, riding skill, & dumb luck to navigate.
We left desert view about 7am & started down the rocky switchbacks.. they were even more washed out this year, & had deep loose ruts added to the steep decline. That made the descent a little tricky, especially being distracted with the awesome views.
There were a couple of pretty gnarly sections on this road.. we had to roll along a narrow ridge to miss some deep ruts, & some of the turns were in steep, loose rocks. But we made it through, & weren't planning on coming back this way for the ride back.
Some of the next few pictures have a small tower in the upper left corner.. this is the desert view tower.
Eventually, we made it down the steepest switchbacks, & began heading east into the Navajo rez.
The road continued to be very rocky, had lots of ups & downs, some loose steps, & occasional ruts. We would get a workout today, & have to be very alert for the whole ride.
Along this road there were several ruins.. some smaller hogan foundations, some old wooden remnants, & lots of rock stacks of unknown function. Some were fairly new, others were very old.
The road continued, becoming more open & arid. Junipers disappeared & sage, low shrubs & small cactus dotted the countryside.
Along here we had our only mechanical mishap.. a bolt had vibrated out of Tom's rack somewhere, & was now flopping uselessly on the side of his bike. Finding it seemed impossible, & we couldn't find a spare that would work. So we pushed some zip ties through the hole until we could get a replacement bolt.
Our problems temporarily solved, we continued along the long & winding road.. miles & miles of open road with plenty of surprises to keep us awake.
Somewhere along here, Tom remembered he used to be a racer, & got tired of my plodding pace.. he flew by & increased our speed for a while, but the long road takes it's toll with the constant concentration, & he eventually slowed down to a more leisurely pace.
There were no breaks.. no flat stretches of easy riding, but rocks, hills, ruts & off camber riding for hours.
We didn't stop because we thought we'd need all the time to get to our destination & back.. but we could have stopped a few times to refresh & recharge.. next time we will.
When the rocks thinned out some, the ruts replace them.. i got tossed off the road a couple of times by the ruts.. no spectacular crashes, but i did have to regain control & get back on the road.
We kept hoping the next hill would afford us a view of our destination.. but for miles we only saw open spaces & rocky grades.. the road endlessly stretching out before us.
More later...

Day 2 continued
Finally we made it to our destination: The confluence of the Little Colorado & the Colorado rivers: Cape Solitude.
We were not disappointed. The views were spectacular. The sun was high.. it was nearly noon. The visibility was pretty good, even with the smoke from the north rim fire. We had a pretty good breeze blowing to the west, so it kept the smoke away, & it kept the temps down. We were in the 5-6k ft range, so it was hotter than on the rim, but not too bad. The sun was pretty intense, though.
We were also a little closer to the river from here, & could see rafts on the river.. they were tiny specks, but we could see them.
We stopped & had our lunch here.. looking out across the vast expanse. Cape Solitude was aptly named. We didn't see another person along the entire road. No hikers. No jeeps. No bicycles. ..just an occasional bright green lizard & a chipmunk scurrying across the road.
To the north, the river was a bit straighter as it came to the rivers confluence..
The bikes were tired, too, and seemed to enjoy the views.
As we started to walk down to get a better view of the little colorado river, i noticed this guy under my jacket on the bike.. he snapped his jaws at me & made a funny chirping noise. I thought he wouldn't be any happier than I if he got under my jacket on my person, so i got a stick & relocated him to a nearby bush.
The confluence. Tom & i both wondered why the water was blue from the Little Co. river. I looked it up later & found it was because of travertine & limestone in the canyon above, which turns the water blue. It dissapates when it hits the main river. During high water, it is muddy. It was kind of cool seeing it bright blue. You can see a group of rafts right above the blue water. There were several more coming down river. I'm zoomed in 5x in this pic.. you can't see any better detail with the naked eye.
Here's the view to the east along the little colorado river canyon.. the river is blue all the way.
Back north along the Colorado..
More pics of the area..
This was definitely a primo destination spot. we oohed & ahhed at the views for a while, took lots of pics, & finally decided we should head back.. we had to backtrack for about 30 miles of pretty tough terrain before we got to a different way out.
I didn't take many more pics, since we'd been this way before. It was still pretty fresh in our memory.
We eventually came to where we had come down, but we didn't go back via the rocky switchbacks.. we thought we'd take the 'easier' way of going up the gray mt. truck trail to hwy 64, then return on the pavement. I didn't take any pics or vids, but i had forgotten how long & steep & gnarly the climb is from the Little Colorado river plateau. It went up for nearly 2k ft, & was almost as tough as the casner mt climb, but with more steps. But we finally made it through, & got on the pavement. We went through the east entrance & got back to our room. Too tired to go out, we crashed & napped for about an hour before heading over to the pizza joint at Maswik for pizza & beer. We were too tired to walk over to the tavern for our usual rounds before dinner.
Tom said this was the toughest ride he'd ever been on. But remember, Tom forgets anything more than a few days old, so it probably wasn't really the toughest. But you get the idea. It was a rugged, gnarly, challenging, & long ride. Would i do it again? In a heartbeat.

Should that scratch easily? I have had the phone less than a day and all I did was pull it out of my pocket and I have a couple scratches now. They don't seem to be coming off. Don't know why but it although it looks like its a protector it doesn't feel like one. I wonder if anyone has actually removed it?
I don't think my phone has a screenprotector.

Will "the mastering of reality" (to borrow critic and novelist Gabriel Josipovici's terms) be restricted to "the compulsive repetition of gestures and clichés"?
What we need are reflective, considered voices. And plenty of them. From two archives come calls for...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Successful autoimmune disease awareness campaigns are encouraging patients to seek clinical diagnostics even for general symptoms such as fatigue and gastrointestinal distress, spurring the global autoimmune disease diagnostics market. The rising incidence of gastrointestinal autoimmune conditions, primarily celiac disease, also promotes testing.
As a result, market revenue is estimated to reach $1.0 billion in 2018 from $712.5 million in 2012, according to the new Global Autoimmune Disease Diagnostics Market analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.lifesciences.frost.com).
For more information on this research, please email Jennifer Carson, Corporate Communications, at firstname.lastname@example.com, with your full name, company name, job title, telephone number, company email address, company website, city, state and country.
The U.S. market will be the highest contributor to the growth of the global autoimmune disease diagnostics market, especially as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act expands health coverage to at least 19.5 million people in the country. The increase in the number of beneficiaries will lead to higher diagnostic testing of patients with autoimmune disease symptoms.
"Large advertising campaigns for relatively new autoimmune disease medications treating a wide variety of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic plaque psoriasis, Crohn's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis improved patient awareness," said a Frost & Sullivan Healthcare research analyst. "The subsequent growth in testing volumes will prompt clinical laboratories to employ advanced autoimmune disease diagnostic tests."

Last November, Tennessee's Republican governor Bill Haslam won his reelection effort resoundingly, taking 70 percent of the vote and every single county in the state. Just six weeks later, Haslam surprised nearly everyone in Tennessee's Republican-controlled state assembly by announcing that one of his first orders of business in his second term would be to expand Medicaid under the umbrella of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. But a month and a half later, Haslam's Medicaid expansion was dead. The debate was over nearly as soon as it started.
It wasn't supposed to be this way for Haslam. Since the passage of Obamacare, Republican governors have generally taken one of two tracks on Medicaid expansion. Some like, Wisconsin's Scott Walker and Louisiana's Bobby Jindal, rejected the expansions outright. Others, like Ohio's John Kasich and Indiana's Mike Pence, have accepted the federal dollars and expanded the eligibility for low-income residents to receive Medicaid coverage. Each of the listed governors had compliant Republican legislatures. Whatever path Haslam pursued, he might have reasonably assumed the GOP in the state capitol might have gone along with it.
If he made that assumption, it was a mistake. The governor hadn't even given fair warning to many of the legislators he'd need to support his proposed expansion (called Insure Tennessee) before publicly announcing it last December. Republican state senator Brian Kelsey remembers finding out about the Medicaid expansion proposal from a tweet of the news on December 15 last year. Earlier in 2014, Kelsey and a GOP state representative, Jeremy Durham, had successfully championed a bill that would require legislative approval on any such expansion (state law had previously given the governor regulatory discretion). Kelsey says what they had in mind in drafting the bill was an effort by a future Democratic governor to add to the rolls of Medicaid. But from Haslam?
"We did not expect this governor to do this," says Kelsey.
That was for good reason. In his bid for reelection, Haslam did not campaign on Medicaid expansion. In fact, he had previously touted the decision by the state not to expand Medicaid as Obamacare originally dictated. There had been talks with some in the legislature about finding a way to expand coverage for those who made too much to qualify for Medicaid but who weren't self- or employer-insured—something Kelsey says he was interested in, so long as there were no federal dollars and Obamacare regulations.
But Haslam's Insure Tennessee plan had been in the works for a while. Both of Tennessee's Republican senators, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, worked with the governor's office and Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Burwell to develop what Haslam termed his "alternative approach" to expanding Medicaid, one that "forges a different path and is a unique Tennessee solution." The details of Insure Tennessee may have been different from Obamacare's directives, but the end result was essentially the same: The state would change its eligibility requirements and to place more Tennesseans on Medicaid, with the federal government footing the bill. Lieutenant governor Ron Ramsey, a Republican, originally praised it as a plan that "returns tax dollars back to Tennessee."
But members of the general assembly weren't convinced of the merits. The expansion would have opened up two new coverage options to Tennessee's Medicaid program, using federal and state tax dollars, which Republicans called an unsustainable expansion of the welfare state. There were concerns about the possibility that future federal support might drop off. Ramsey, who is also the speaker of the senate and traditionally carries the governor's agenda through the legislature, ended up remaining publicly neutral. Opposing the plan from the outside were the Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity and a free-market think tank called the Foundation for Government Accountability, which has been on the forefront of fighting Medicaid expansion across the country. And Insure Tennessee got hammered on local talk radio.
All of this prompted Haslam to take a statewide tour to promote the plan himself. And the governor certainly wasn't alone. Business groups like the Tennessee Hospital Association and the Coalition for a Healthy Tennessee ran ads featuring those citizens who would benefit from enrolling in Medicaid. The Coalition even published a poll in early February showing plurality support across the state for the plan—even as a majority said they opposed Obamacare. "The more Tennesseans – and especially Republicans – learn about Governor Bill Haslam's Insure Tennessee plan, the more they like it," trumpeted a press release.

Last week was not a great week for Princeton.
The boss was on the set of MSNBC's Morning Joe Friday to discuss Iraq, the Tea Party, and the midterm elections. Watch the videos below:
Tennessee senator Lamar Alexander is making his final pitch to primary voters with a radio ad in which the two-term Republican claims he has voted to "end amnesty" for illegal immigrants. Alexander has been hit hard on the issue of immigration by his chief GOP challenger, state representative Joe Carr, ahead of Thursday's primary.
"In the last few days of a campaign, don't believe anything new that you hear," Alexander says in the ad. "Last year, I voted to end amnesty. Last week I voted against President Obama's immigration bill." Listen to the ad below:
Lamar Alexander, the two-term Republican senator from Tennessee, is in a strong position to win reelection this November. But only if he can get through his August 7 primary.
NashvilleOne name is ubiquitous at a July 22 rally for Republican Senate candidate Joe Carr, and it isn't Joe Carr's. Lamar Alexander, the Tennessee senator Carr hopes to defeat in the August 7 primary, practically greets you the moment you turn into the parking lot at the Millennium Maxwell House hotel. Signs and posters line the driveway and the hallway into the ballroom, reading in big letters: "Beat Lamar." The phrase also adorns stickers, buttons, even the name-tags for those of us in the press covering the event.
Tennesseans who purchased health insurance policies under Obamacare are discovering their doctors and health care providers often don't fall in their new networks. WSMV, Nashville's NBC affiliate, has the story (via the Free Beacon):
WSMV in Tennessee was unable to find a single person who successfully signed up for Obamacare:
"We're hearing not a single person locally has been successful getting through to the new health insurance exchange," said a local reporter. "It seems to be a problem especially in states like Tennessee, where the state opted out and left it up to the federal government to run what is essentially an online shopping site."
The New York Times reports:
Mr. Santorum easily defeated Mr. Romney on Tuesday in Tennessee, a Southern victory that would help him make the case for continuing to contest Mr. Romney for the Republican presidential nomination.
Mr. Santorum's campaign had focused much of its attention in the past week on Ohio. But with Mr. Romney all but certain to capture several other states, Mr. Santorum also pushed hard for wins in the South.

Outgoing Democratic governor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee argues in the Wall Street Journal that health care will force people out of their employer-based health insurance plans and into government-subsidized "market exchanges." Here's a snippet:
Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen is caught on YouTube dancing awkwardly to some live rap music at a campaign event:
The 2000s saw a massive housing bubble that, when popped, gave us the financial crisis and Great Recession. For decades, the federal government incentivized home-ownership and encouraged banks to write mortgages for people who might otherwise have been unable to afford them. The ability of these new homeowners to make payments rested on the continued rise of home values and a thriving economy.

Flour Costs
Take a look at the graphic in this thread!
Professional flour: King Arthur Flour
Like everything, expect the cost to go up! More corn (for subsidized ethanol?), less wheat production?? Fuzzy economics???
Re: Flour Costs
Well, it may be economics that saves us too. If wheat prices are going up so much, that's an incentive to plant more wheat. In theory, at least, that ought to bring the supply and demand back into balance and go some way toward moderating the price.
Of course, if there are government subsidies to plant more corn, that's a problem. The political and ethical issues surrounding biofuels are tricky, but I think there's a growing awareness that we need to come up with a fuel solution that doesn't endanger the food supply. (The scientific issues are, from what I understand, less tricky--but nobody seems to care about that.)
This all leads naturally into larger questions about our industrialized food system. Personally, I find that system distasteful in many ways, but nearly impossible to escape. Michael Pollan wrote an interesting book on the topic, which I'm sure many of you have read:
Amazon.com: The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals: Michael Pollan: Books
He's not pushing an agenda--at least, I don't think he is--but reading the book really brings to light the number of ethical questions we gloss over or completely ignore in the interest of convenient and (until now) cheap food.
I'd better quit before I really start to ramble. ;)
Re: Flour Costs
Re: Flour Costs
Here's a really interesting article on where some North American communities are turning for grain & flour. I am thinking of trying to make this happen in my area. Good for consumers, good for farmers and cut out the large corporations & middle guys who drive up prices, not to mention quite possibly accessing a superior product in the process!
globeandmail.com: Growing against the grain
Re: Flour Costs
That's so cool! Strikes me that's the way to go, rather than all this streamlined globalisation stuff.
A lot of farmers around here sell certain products directly from their farms. Eggs, potatoes, fresh fruit and veg... but no grain so far. Maybe I should ask?

Answer 1
It is either the window motor or the window regulator. You can look up estimates for both situations on RepairPal to get an idea of what is fair. I recommend locating a quality independent shop in your area--use RepairPal's directory, or try the Automotive Service Association or the ASE. - matte
