Support for debt recovery across borders Opublikowano w dniu : 12/06/2013
Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are reluctant to operate outside the borders of their own country, as they are afraid of encountering burdensome procedures when trying to claim payments for their products and services. SMEs often find it too daunting, complicated or expensive – because of consulting fees, legal counsel, document translation, etc. – to pursue legal action against companies or individuals in other Member States.

Sarasota's S/ART/Q exhibiting in SELECT Fair Art Basel Weekend, December 5-9, 2012
Sarasota's S/ART/Q exhibiting in SELECT Fair Art Basel Weekend, December 5-9, 2012
SELECT FAIR, Catalina Hotel
1756 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33139
December 5th-9th 2012
VIP Preview, Wednesday, December 5, 4-10 p.m.
Thursday, December 6-9th, Exhibition open to public 11 a.m.- 8 p.m.
Dec. 5, 2012 - Sarasota's artist group S/ART/Q, will complete their 2012 exhibition season with its first out-of-town exhibition in the highly anticipated contemporary art fair, SELECT Fair, taking place in Miami Beach during Art Basel Weekend December 5th- 9th. Formed in late 2008, S/ART/Q is a group of ten professional contemporary artists whose name underscores their connection to the region (a takeoff on the area's tree letter airport code "SRQ" in combination with the word ART) and the central role that art plays in all our lives, especially here on the cultural coast.
During four consecutive days in December, SELECT will be S/ART/Q's first group exhibition since its well-attended AVANT GARDEN exhibition January 2012 with Selby Gardens in Sarasota, FL. "We feel very fortunate to be invited participate with the SELECT Fair and look forward to helping the visual arts of Sarasota to join the world art platform" says S/ART/Q co-founder Tim Jaeger.
To offset the expenses for S/ART/Q's participation in the SELECT Fair, S/ART/Q held its annual popular Screen Printing Party with Sarasota's Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center in September of 2012. Drawing close to 2,000 enthusiasts, S/ART/Q was able to reach its monetary goal while screening over 1,500 prints in 2 days.
SELECT Fair just steps away from the prestigious Art Basel convention center, will be held inside of the Catalina Hotel where 64 of the 190 guest rooms will be transformed into high-energy, collective gallery spaces taken over by the work from galleries, print dealers, collectives and artists. All of the public space inside of the Catalina will be taken over by installations and performances, making SELECT the most eventful and dynamic satellite fair on South Beach. December marks the beginning of the season in Miami Beach and Art Basel is, without a doubt, one of our busiest weeks of the entire year, said owner of The Catalina Hotel & Beach Cub, Nathan Lieberman. "We consider the Catalina one of our most progressive hotel concepts and we are excited to welcome on of today???s most progressive art exhibits to our property."
S/ART/Q includes artists Joseph Arnegger, Ariana Franco, Tim Jaeger, Amy W. Miller, Jen Nugent, Daniel Perales, Steve Strenk, Jeff Schwartz, Nathan Skiles, and Tom Stephens. S/ART/Q produces roaming/temporary exhibitions, creates educational opportunities in the community while exposing the public to how artists function in society and ultimately enhances the arts culture in Sarasota.

Through the course of history, technology has changed virtually every aspect of our lives, and hunting is no exception. But hunting is also steeped in tradition, so it's no surprise that time tested firearms are still being used today. The muzzleloader has been around for centuries, the black powder used to fire the weapon is said to have originated in 13th century China. Improvements in firearms have made pursuing game easier and safer, but there are those who still choose to use more primitive weapons to hunt, and the muzzleloader is making a comeback.
Jack Taylor of Batavia Marine & Sporting Supplies has a lot of experience with muzzleloaders." It's a rifle or shotgun that's loaded from the tip of the gun, you put your powder then your bullet down, you push it down with a ramrod, and then you put something on the back to give it some type of ignition, versus having a shell casing that you would put in the back of the gun and fire."
Muzzleloaders can fire only one bullet at a time, and must be reloaded after each shot, a somewhat time consuming process. Although the concept of the gun has remainded the same, technology has caught up with the muzzleloader and has made some improvements, says Taylor." The old piece of technology is actually getting more and more sophisticated. Going from this gun, the old cap and ball gun , to the top of the line granddaddy of them all guns like this, where everything is inside. Where this one can get wet, and have problems with going off, this one's all sealed."
In a sport ingrained in our human heritage,the chance to hunt with a firearm used by our ancestors is a strong draw for those who use the muzzleloader,as Taylor explains." There are some guys that dress up in the old garb when they go out, the old buckskins and stuff and they really get into it, and stalk the prey type of thing. There's a lot of guys that really get into it like that and want to do it the way his ancestors did."
But that glimpse into the past can also provide insight on how difficult things once were. " It kind of hits home when you're out there with a primitive muzzleloader thinking wow, if I don't get something, I'm not gonna eat !" Says Taylor " And if you think of it that way it really brings a different meaning to things."
And for many hunters, that perspective can also teach that the past may not always be that different from the present.,Taylor concludes." I know several families that rely on a deer or two a year to offset the cost of the grocery bill. I know some people may sit back and say boy, I didn't think that existed, but it's getting more and more prevalent as the more the economy tanks out here, and they really rely on it to feed."

A Losing Argument
Will Leitch has some thoughts on the return of Mike D'Antoni to the Garden tonight that align very closely to my own, essentially that no matter what defense you might be able to come up with for D'Antoni's coaching, it's pretty impossible to argue with the results:
D'Antoni is sure to be booed when he's introduced tonight, and as much as we loved the guy when he was here, it's difficult to blame MSG for its reaction. After all, ever since he left and Mike Woodson took over, all the problems that D'Antoni was so insistent couldn't be fixed have not only been fixed, the Knicks are better than D'Antoni himself even seemed to dream they would be. The Knicks, coached by Mike Woodson, are playing as a team and winning at a conference-best rate. The Lakers, coached by Mike D'Antoni, are the most drama-filled team in the league … just like the Knicks were when he was here.
Brian DiMenna
Part of what's fun about sports is arguing about sports. Sports arguments are a valued American tradition, like Thanksgiving and gun violence. And as it goes, sometimes you end up arguing the wrong side. I always had a soft spot for Mike D'Antoni, perhaps it was our shared Italian roots, it always felt like he could have been one of my uncles.
And sure, you could probably figure out some way to mount some kind of defense of his tenure, or at least find a few plausible excuses, but it's sort of beyond the point. Sometimes you have to simply concede that you were wrong, that for whatever the reasons, whether circumstance or just general incompetence, D'Antoni was the wrong coach for the Knicks. This is pretty much fact at this point, particularly since one imagines that D'Antoni probably watches Woodson's Knicks and thinks, "Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I wanted this to look like." But it didn't, at least not while he was here.
So if that was your take all along, you're right. And if you find yourself sitting in the stands tonight, feeling that those tortured seasons justify a display of loud, vocal displeasure. Well, I'd say you've earned the right to let it rip.

Somehow Larry Brooks of the New York Post secured an
exclusive interview with Rangers GM Glen Sather which ran today and raised some
eyebrows. Sather tried to avoid making
excuses for the 2009-10 season and discussed the team's future, albeit through
rose-colored glasses. Here's a summary
of the interview's key points:
1. Sather declared that retaining both Marc Staal and Dan
Girardi was an obvious decision this summer. While keeping Staal is the unquestioned priority of the offseason, many
thought that Girardi might be expendable given the abundance of youth the
Rangers have at or near the NHL level. Girardi is a proven NHLer, but considering the Rangers cap situation and
Girardi's contract demands, possibly around $3 million, many supposed the
Rangers might let him walk. Now that
Sather has confirmed that Girardi is very much a part of the Rangers plans, the
Rangers have an apparently set blue line for next season (Staal, Roszival,
Redden, Girardi, Del
Zotto and Gilroy)
and they will have less money to play with this summer than many anticipated.
2. Sather insisted that the Rangers won't overpay for any free
agents this summer. That Sather even
dared to say "I can tell you one thing — we are certainly not going to overpay
for free agents" is laughable. Sather's
history when it comes to big ticket free agents is well documented; the man
can't resist writing gigantic checks. With the amount of money Sather has
thrown around in his Rangers tenure it's kind of amazing that he said this so
matter-of-factly. Rangers fans will be
understandably skeptical until Sather proves otherwise.
3. He says that no one's job is safe regardless of their
contract. Much like #2, this is a dream
for Rangers fans, but it's hard to believe until we see evidence. Hearing Sather say "A player's contract isn't
going to get him a spot on the team if he doesn't earn it, and that goes for
everyone," and not immediately thinking of Wade Redden is difficult. If Sather is serious about changing his ways,
and the Rangers fortunes, then he will follow his own advice and banish
underachievers to the press box or Hartford. But again, until we see action, these are
just empty words from the Rangers GM.
4. The interest in keeping Jody Shelley in New York is mutual. Money doesn't seem to be much of a concern to
Shelley as he was happy with his time in New
York. Sather
also doesn't seem overly worried that Shelley's contract demands will be
unreasonable, so this re-signing seems inevitable.
5. Sather wants to sign Derek Stepan and Ryan McDonagh. No surprise here, the two Wisconsin
players are a major part of the Rangers future. There have been reports that both players will return to Wisconsin next season,
but that won't stop Sather from trying to get them signed. Either way, Sather confirmed both players
will attend the Rangers prospect camp in July. That should be a good gauge of how close both players are to making the
While it's surprising that Brooks got an interview with Glen
Sather at all, it's more surprising that Sather still seems to think Rangers
fans will accept his words as truth. Sather's reputation is too firmly entrenched for anyone to believe
anything he says until he shows otherwise. Until he actually behaves in step with his words, the Rangers will
continue to go in circles.

Absolutely that would be ideal, but he would prolly want 4 years from what experts are saying.
He may get an offer of four or more years, but that's not a sure thing.
I think a lot of teams are going to look at Texas' offer. They know him best. If the Rangers offer him three then I could see other teams offering more money per year, but not many more GUARANTEED years.

Middle Village was named as such because it was the middle point from Williamsburgh to Jamaica on the Williamsburgh and Jamaica Turnpike Road, which is now Metropolitan Avenue. The name also has its origin in that it was the midpoint for farmers from eastern Queens who traveled to the ferry at Newtown Creek. Another origin of the name comes about because it is an anglicization of Middleburgh, Newtown's original name.
The Middle Village Community Library serves the area bounded by Woodhaven Blvd. to the east, Eliot Ave. to the north, 69th St. to the west, and the LIRR tracks and Cooper Ave. to the south. Middle Village was founded in 1850. It grew from farmland to a prosperous community after the New York City Council announced that no further burials would be permitted on Manhattan Island after May 1, 1851. The farmland was purchased by several church groups for cemeteries. Florists, monument makers, and taverns flourished as business and industry expanded.
The area thrived until the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 when people found it easier to travel more rapidly. By 1902, the population reached 1,300. The community continued to grow steadily. By the 1940s, much of the farmland was developed with residential homes.
Until recently, the working-class neighborhood of Middle Village was predominantly Italian. Immigrants from Latin America, Poland, Soviet Union, and Ireland have been moving in, attracted by reasonable rents and central location in New York City.
Middle Village is made up largely of private and two-family homes. There are some garden apartments, though no real large apartment buildings like those found in nearby communities like Forest Hills or Rego Park and along Woodhaven Blvd. New construction, though, has been taking place in the area with the building of a number of multiple-dwelling homes on the blocks around Metropolitan Avenue and near Juniper Valley Park, a noteworthy local attraction and neighborhood favorite location.

The Library was opened in a shoe store in 1911. Later it moved to a seed store for eight years and after that it was located in several different stores. In April 1967, the branch was re-opened in a modern rental building on Metropolitan Avenue, a location that, after a number of years of being unoccupied, re-opened as a 99 cent store. Then, in July 1990, the branch moved to a new rental location a few blocks west, at 72-31 Metropolitan Avenue. This location, the present Community Library, occupies part of the street-level floor of the condominium building at the same 72-31 Metropolitan Avenue address, with the Library's entrance located on the building's western side, while the branch's meeting room is situated on the eastern side. Due to this unique location, from its outside appearance the branch appears quite small. But the reality is that inside, the branch is really a full-sized library facility with regular adult and juvenile rooms, programming for all age levels and, in the spring of 2005, the branch was the host for two art exhibitions.

Design and Planning
The Design Professional Section (DPS) provides a resource for planning and design professionals working in and with public gardens. Gardens, by definition, combine design and horticulture to create beautiful, engaging, inspiring, relevant and useful experiences. Public gardens are continually evolving entities and must anticipate and respond to continually changing contexts (demographic, economic, ecological, legal, etc.) to remain relevant and to fulfill their missions. Successful public garden planning involves interactions between organizational resources, physical site, staff, organizational culture, etc.
Public gardens are diverse in scope, size, mission, age, constituents, aesthetics, and resources among myriad other characteristics. Planning and design resists standardization and codification into dogmatic methodologies. However, through discussing their diverse methods and skills, planning and design professionals may share and gain from each others experiences, perspectives, and insights. The DPS commits itself to fostering, recognizing, learning from, and achieving planning and design best practices and excellence. The DPS welcomes APGA members from all disciplines and organizational levels interested in pursuing excellence in the planning and design of public gardens.

In this not so traditional Washington tradition, George Washington stars as the heroic Nutcracker. In addition to the gorgeous set, consisting of swirling snowflakes and prancing cherry blossoms, Tchaikovsky's score beautifully serenades the audience. Once the curtains rise there is no doubt as to why this production has always drawn sold-out crowds and raving critics.

troll - "a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages" - that doesn't really fitI guess it's just that you keep saying the same thingYet here I am, giving you advice that you shouldn't give Ryan advice - call me hypocriticalI just couldn't help myself making a comment. I have no problem with any of your posts - carry on...
Maybe its time for one of us to use this line:here
I thank you Jerry. I think I have said all I have to say on the subject of BPL and RJ. Felt it needed saying, and feel better for have spoken up and said something....but you never know.Edit: Hah! Daryl.
Edited by kthompson on 10/28/2012 09:51:27 MDT.
wow, we dig up a thread that is 6 years old.....I wish we would be more positive about this. As Alexander noted earlier, if you don't like this site or the direction or lack there of, then make you own. The money that I have spent has been well worth it. The information that I have gained over the last 10 years has been something that I cannot put value to. This is turning into a sad state of affairs......really
Ken, Ken, Ken,...This fire was almost out and now I fear you've fanned it back to life : )
yes I did. After reading through the recent posts, I could not help but think this is ridiculous. Oh well.
Also Jerry, at least my post was positive.
Now, now...It might be true that Ken sometimes expresses his displeasure with the way things are handled in BPL, and if you only take what he has written over the last year you might think he thinks of nothing but trashing BPL, but if you take the time to get to know him (as I have for a long time now), you'll know that he actually does a lot in the UL community to help promote it and provide positive experiences, a lot of it in the real world. His Bay Area GGG gatherings are very popular and have nothing to do with negative attitudes. My take on his critical posts is that the community, of which he has been an integral part of for many years, is beloved to him and he doesn't want to see it degrade into oblivion. Recently there is a strong sense here that things might not survive much longer. I, too, am very concerned about this, and having been a member of a few very popular forums that imploded and disappeared, the atmosphere is much the same here now as when those forums went kaput. This sense of foreboding did not exist in BPL just five years ago, no matter how hot the arguments got. Please note that Ken's criticisms are specific; they are only concerned with the running and survival of the site and community. I think he brings up legitimate points. Whether or not you agree with him is beside the point... as a paying member he has the right, and you could even say the responsibility to speak up when things are going awry. I'd say he has done more to kick the ball back into action than anyone else here. If he hadn't said anything about the mess with membership benefits how many people would have spoken up? It's usually the squeaky wheels that everyone complains about, and often the squeaky wheels are ridiculed, ostracized, and disliked. It takes courage to stand up to that.I think it is the mark of a good community member to be involved at different levels in the community, and I think it is the mark of a responsible and concerned member when they have the courage and take the time to express what they see as problems. Always being nice and skirting over the problems do nothing to identify and address those problems. Sometimes you have to throw in some seemingly hurtful insights that make others uncomfortable in order for everyone to become aware of what the problems might be. As I've stated before, I think that the BPL community does not belong to Ryan. The site does and the medium through which we have access to one another does, but not the community. The community was created by each of us, in our willingness to be active and talk to one another. Each of us puts in the work to listen to, think about the topics, and speak to one another. We volunteer this, on our own time, with our own resources. Many of us (now all of us) pay for the access to this community. I'm not sure whether that makes this a better community or not, though I suspect it has nothing to do with the quality of the community discussions. Serendipity brought all these unique people together, and good timing on Ryan's part. The pivot to the genesis of the community of course were the original articles and insights Ryan and company provided in the early years of BPL. Ryan created the interest and the dialogue that got us all started, and he gave that insight a certain bent and a voice. In that way Ryan has become one of the "leaders" of the movement; he brought together all the disparate information that was floating around the Ineternet before BPL came into existence (anyone who has been around that long will remember Michael Conner, John O, Ultralight Joe, Centerwalk, Onestep, and Adventure Alan... all of whom started writing about UL while Ryan was still writing his earliest blog). But he did not start the movement, nor was he the earliest adopter of the UL methods.One of the exciting things about the UL movement was the organic development of the community. It grew out of an informal interaction of people who were very eager to share their ideas for free. If not for this freewheeling, voluntary sharing of information, the UL movement would never have taken off. BPL would never have taken off. Nowadays that laissez-faire attitude has changed somewhat, with more emphasis on somehow making money. Once that started, the carefree community was bound to lose some of its spontaneity and creativity.That the community that Ken and I and others care about and get serious about. The BPL community itself had grown into something worth protecting and putting our hearts into. When things started to lose integrity and direction, people like Ken called it out, not to cause trouble, but to get people to do something about it before the whole community petered out.Edit: Backpacking Lightweight was actually the first forum on lightweight hiking. It never caught on the way BPL did
Edited by butuki on 10/28/2012 21:45:32 MDT.
Ken - Wow, now you're dragging up 6 year old threads to continue your war on Ryan and BPL? How many thousands of posts did you go through? Don't you have something more constructive to do with your time? You really need to just start your own website and forums because there is no way you are ever going to be happy with BPL. Your constant negativity, whining and sarcasm isn't good for you or the BPL forums. Ron
+1 Ron
Actually I bump this thread last year, Ron. *sarcasm*I was perfectly happy with BPL until late, and all these poor management practices came to a head.Would you care to extrapolate any particular point I have brought up? Or is your disapproval of me just the way I present them?You can complain how I do things and present myself, that's OK. I expect to be able to do the same.@Miguel. Thanks so much for that post. I really should have you do all my talking for me as you can keep your cool, whereas I cannot.So let's not get all personal anymore. Let's discuss facts. If you are interested.
Edited by kthompson on 10/28/2012 13:12:57 MDT.
But Ken, people have, and then you post something and the edit it. I too have questioned the way you have done this and have not had a "friendly" encounter afterwards. You do not play well on that front. You constantly post something after the fact and the edit out nasty replies. I disagree with you on that. yes BPL needs some work. Most definitely. But the way you go about your business, myself and others feel it lacks in constructiveness or tact.
"yes BPL needs some work. Most definitely. But the way you go about your business, myself and others feel it lacks in constructiveness or tact."Fair enough. I get hot and post. Then think better of it later. Character trait or flaw, it's there. I'm way more laid back than my parents in this regard. Man, that's a tough crowd.It really ticks me off though when people want to tell me what I should find value in, believe in. And go the extra step to devalue my opinion, beliefs because they don't match theirs. How does this work? It really would be best if Miguel did my communicating for me. Absolutely spot on again.It interesting that people who disagree with me and my ways here like to comment on the threads whereas the people who are more supportive like to PM me. What do you think that means? If someone has to be a pariah I guess they are happy for me to play that part, which is fine. Ryan has his distractors and I have mine. Fair is fair.Meet me sometime. You'll have a real opinion based on a whole variety of things to then judge me by. I'll buy the first beer.This internet persona is not the whole picture. I'm sure the same goes for the rest of you.See you on the trail.
But I have met you and have had a beer with you, and it was a nice time :)
Next beer on you then. OK?
Beer on Ken !
Ken - I don't know you but the people that know you personally speak well of you and your work with the GGG is commendable. But frequently you aren't that nice guy on the BPL forums, you are a ball of anger lashing out. I know that you don't like the way Ryan runs BPL but your approach is over the top and ultimately counterproductive, few people listen to someone that comes across as personally hostile. Both you and Ryan want to promote lightweight backpacking, maybe you should view him as a positive influence in the field instead of focusing on everything you would do differently if you were in charge. Both of you want to promote lightweight backpacking,maybe you should try to consider him an ally in promoting the same goal instead of an opponent.Ron
Ron, I know that Ryan is going through a hard time, and therefore there must be influences that affect his own BPL voice, but hasn't he been somewhat "antisocial", too? He hasn't made any attacks on specific people, but he has alluded to people and companies in his rather ornery articles of late. The difference between Ryan's position and Ken's is that Ryan, as a leader here can lash out in general with his own concerns, whereas Ken, with his focus on trying to weed out the problems with BPL must necessarily focus on Ryan. Who or what else is he to focus on, since Ryan is the one in charge? I don't think Ken is attacking Ryan as a private person and stand up guy, but as the public leader of this site and community. I think it is important to keep the two separate. I'm not sure why Ryan is forgiven for his transgressions, whereas as Ken is constantly raked over the coals. If I constantly faced people who were trying to tell me to shut up, I, too, would get angry and defensive. So much of all this, for all concerned, including Ryan, hang on the emotional side of the story, which can often come across as disrespectful on an online, written forum. Remember it is very hard to read nuances in the written form, unless you take a lot of time to spell it out. That is why my posts are always so long... trying to get the image and atmosphere and intention in my words just right. And taking a lot of time doing it! And even then often stepping on people's toes or completely ruining a conversation.

This looks great! Your recipe for Mediterranean Chicken is one of our favorites and this is just a heartier version of that. Can you recommend a replacement for the olives? I'm not a fan so I have no idea what kind of flavor they add beside the saltiness.
- January 9, 2011 at 6:49 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Sarah, the best sub for green olives is capers, but I'm thinking you probably wouldn't like those, either. :-) You can leave them out, and use mushrooms or sliced green or red peppers. You will probably need to season to taste with salt at the table.
no biggie! xoox

- Debbi Does Dinner Healthy said...
This looks great! I'm not an olive fan so I would sub that for something. I love vegetarian meals! I've been making so many of them! Thanks!

This is a new favorite!!! Delicious! I don't like green olives either so I subbed with Trader Joe's mushrooms in garlic (next to the olives), then reduced the garlic in the recipe a little and added some salt/pepper. I have never cooked with artichoke hearts before and I looooved them! Thanks again Stephanie! :)
- January 10, 2011 at 7:51 AM
- vampkat said...
I decided to add a bit to this. I threw in a small can of spinach, and chicken thighs, and when I put in the cream I'm also going to throw in shredded mozzeralla cheese and smocked gouda cheese!! I'll let you know how it comes out but the house smells AMAZING.

What would you swap out the heavy cream for to keep it healthier? Just starting to experiment with crockpot cooking and having a great time. Looking into a programmable crockpot...

- Heide said...
This looks so good. I never ever cook artichokes, but really do like them. I need to try this. You don't say so, but I assume you chopped the olives?
- January 24, 2011 at 10:25 AM
- Sonja said...
Thanks Stephanie. I've never cooked with artichokes before this recipe. I've made it twice, I really like it!
- February 18, 2011 at 4:19 PM
- LindaT said...
I finally made this last night. I omitted the olives and pimentos, because I have to watch sodium. It was GOOD! My family said it was definitely a keeper! I never would have though to use canned artichokes in a pasta recipe, but we all loved it. Now I can't wait to try the Root Beer Pork!

I made this and wrote about it here on my silly little blog. It was delicious even though I messed up by not following the directions properly. The leftovers freeze really well and taste even better the second time around! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

"Moon on Blue" greeting card by Carol Leigh. Ships within 2 - 3 business days and includes a plain white envelop for mailing and/or gift giving. Available in vertical and horizontal orientations.
I'm a photographer, writer, educator based in the Pacific Northwest. Although I love "pure" photography, I specialize in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. When I begin a piece, I start with a concept, which quickly morphs into something totally different than I originally envisioned, and that's where the fun is. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. Total madness, but it's good madness! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers...

Comments about prAna Monarch Convertible - Short (Women's):
A friend had several pairs of these pants for hiking/backpacking/outdoor activities, and we have similar shapes (athletic, yet have hips and a butt), so I thought I'd give a try. These, hands-down, are the ONLY hiking pants that are flattering (other hiking pants are not flattering on me), protective, comfortable and lightweight. They have some stretch, which is essential for mobility with a pack on, and have a nice inner drawstring to keep on the hips. Rise is perfect and feels great under a pack. I will buy more! I'm 5'6, 130lbs and a 4 short (I have shorter legs) fits perfectly.

The foundations of après ski were probably built on a beer like Headwall Alt, which Tuckerman Brewing Company of Conway, New Hampshire, introduced in 2005. Made in the Altbier style, meaning it closely follows the brewing tradition of Germany's Rhineland, this brown ale has a taste and character rooted in brewing's past. I picture salty German mountaineers from a century ago casually sipping a similar style of brew after a long ski tour. It made me want to put on lederhosen.
An incredibly smooth beer, the rich malt flavors of Headwall Alt are similar to other brown ales, but Tuckerman Brewing Company carbonates each bottle by leaving a touch of yeast in the beer to make it naturally bubbly. The yeast adds another layer of complexity, a very faint sour, yeasty flavor that reminds me of a good homebrew.
Available throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts, you might consider picking up a six-pack of Headwall Alt to pass the time on lazy, backyard afternoons, or if you want to practice some yodeling.
