Hear a New Song From Robert Pollard's Lifeguards
By Tom Breihan on January 21, 2011 at 10:25 a.m. EST
Lifeguards: Paradise Is Not So Bad
Lifeguards is one of the many musical projects that the insanely prolific Guided by Voices frontman Robert Pollard currently maintains. In Lifeguards, Pollard teams up with former GBV member Doug Gillard. And on February 15, Serious Business Records/Ernest Jenning Record Co. will release their new album Waving at the Astronauts.
On this album, Gillard wrote and recorded instrumentals, then sent them to Pollard to handle the lyrics and vocal melodies. Up above, you can download the leadoff track "Paradise Is Not So Bad", and we've got the tracklist below.
News in Brief: Robert Pollard's Three New Albums, Tim Buckley Reissue, White Lies, Sydney Festival

Robert Pollard Plans Five New Albums
By Ryan Dombal on July 29, 2010 at 2:35 p.m. EDT
Boston Spaceships: "Come on Baby Grace"
2010 is looking like Bob Pollard's most productive year since at least 2009. He's got the Guided By Voices reunion tour coming up, sure, but if you thought he was just going to sit back and count that reunion cash for the rest of the year, well, you don't know Bob. The man is planning to release five albums over the next 10 months, starting off with Our Cubehouse Still Rocks, a new LP from his band Boston Spaceships due out September 7 on GBV Inc. Download a track from it above, and click on to read about all the other things Bob has planned.
Guided By Voices "Classic Lineup" Announce Full Reunion Tour
By Tom Breihan on July 15, 2010 at 12:45 p.m. EDT
Last month, Robert Pollard sent the indie universe into a state of frothing anticipation when he announced that Guided By Voices, the heroic lo-fi power-pop band he led throughout the 90s, would reunite (in its mid-90s "classic lineup" form) to play Matador's 21st anniversary festival in Las Vegas.
But that's not all. As Pollard announced on his website today, that same GBV lineup will head out on a full U.S. tour this fall. Back in the day, the GBV drunken-marathon live show was truly a marvel to behold, so yes, we're excited.
Robert Pollard Reveals "Classic" 1990s Guided By Voices Reunion Lineup
By Tom Breihan on July 1, 2010 at 1:15 p.m. EDT
Earlier this week, we learned that Guided By Voices would reunite to play Matador's 21st birthday party, which goes down October 1-3 at the Palms Casino and Resort in Las Vegas. But other than frontman Robert Pollard, Guided by Voices has had more lineups than a baseball team. So what exactly does this reunion mean?
Guided by Voices Reunite for Matador 21st Birthday Party in Las Vegas
By Tom Breihan on June 29, 2010 at 2:10 p.m. EDT
UPDATE: Matador has announced the initial lineup for their 21st birthday party. In addition to the reunited GBV ("the classic '93 - '96 lineup"), it also features Pavement, Sonic Youth, Belle & Sebastian, Spoon, Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the New Pornographers, Girls, Superchunk, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, Guitar Wolf, Fucked Up, Shearwater, Harlem, Cold Cave, Kurt Vile, Jeffrey Joe Jenson, and more to be announced. The folks behind FYF Fest are producing the show. WHEW!
Back in the day, Guided by Voices shows were physically exhausting, life-affirming drunken marathons. The band played their last show on New Year's 2004/2005. But pretty soon, we'll get to experience another one of those dearly missed shows, in maybe the most appropriate of locations: Las Vegas. We hear drunken debauchery pays the rent there.

Amsterdam Canal Bus Hop-On Hop-Off
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Amsterdam Canal Bus Hop-On Hop-Off. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
A great relaxing way to start our holiday. Diamond exhibition was great and the guides were great.
Once again we had a rainy day which was good we were able to be dry in the canal boat. In good weather we would have got on and off more.
The Canal Bus trip was the highlight of our trip.
The place to exchange our vouchers for tickets was very easy to find: right outside the train station. The boats were great and it was lots of fun to travel around the canals., I would recommend it for anyone. Also, announcements were in English in addition to Dutch and German - a great plus.
Great way to get around especially in crappy weather. It actually down poured half way through the tour but we were safe and sound. Tips: You need to exchange the Viator voucher for a ticket before getting on the boat. I exchanged my voucher at the Rijksmuseum stop. Also, a lot of the stops have wi-fi!!
Great way to get around the city especially during crappy weather. Exchange the Viator voucher for a ticket before you go on the boat. I exchanged mine at the Rijks museum stop.
PS: Free wifi on a lot of stops and parts of the canal!
The company was flexible about the start time of the package which was helpful. I wish the hours of operations were longer. I suggest expanding the hours of operations until 8:00 PM to accommodate dinner schedules.
A wonderful experience.
Everything worked out as we had hoped! Great fun.
Excellent. Always on time and good that you could do all canals.
This is was nice. Great idea to learn and see more at an easier pace then walking. Especially for our grandma with us.

Such an interesting and relaxing enjoyed by us
Amazing way to see this beautiful city. The boats were on time, the staff was very friendly, and the stops were easy to locate
A great way to see Amsterdam, we had an excellent trip.
A great way to discover this wonderful City.
Was a great way to get around Amsterdam by the canals.
Excellent well worth it
Great way to see the sights and very convenient as well!

From the bestselling author of the Patrick Melrose novels, this is a thought-provoking and entertaining insight into a sniping world of literature, celebrity culture and ambition. Each of the judges of the Elysian Prize for literature has a reason for accepting the job. For the chairman, MP Malcolm Craig, it is backbench boredom, media personality Jo Cross is on the hunt for a 'relevant' novel, and Oxbridge academic Vanessa Shaw is determined to discover good writing. But for Penny Feathers of the Foreign Office, it's all just getting in the way of writing her own thriller. Over the next few weeks they must read hundreds of submissions to find the best book of the year, and so the judges spar, cajole and bargain in order that their chosen title gets the recognition it deserves. Meanwhile, a host of authors are desperate for Elysian glory, including brilliant writer and serial heart-breaker Katherine Burns, lovelorn debut novelist Sam Black, and Sonny, convinced that his magnum opus, The Mulberry Elephant, will take the literary world by storm. Lost for Words is razor-sharp and fabulously entertaining. It cuts to the quick of some of the deepest questions about the place of art in our celebrity-obsessed culture, and asks how we can ever hope to recognize real talent when everyone has an agenda.

This article is part of the That Insidious Beast series.
"Eyes," Fatso wheezes.
The hoplite's cyclopean green eye continues to bathe us both in light. My heart hammers against my ribs so fast I feel woozy. Cooling fans whir within the armored shell.
The green beams sweep back across the truck's interior and converge in a brilliant emerald cone that illuminates Fatso's eye.
"Ahh!" he complains.
The hoplite stands away from the truck. The gate opens with an automated clank. The stout machine turns to follow us as we pass. There. The white stylized skull of its unit is painted on its shoulder guard.
The indomitable machine is split open, cracked, burning from within. The pilot hangs roasted in his harness. His cooked juices spit and sizzle down into the trench. I can hear the voices of mighty and terrible things exulting victory beyond the horizon.
We are through the gate and into Ashland City. The Hoplite disappears from view.
It begins to rain almost immediately. Raindrops drum on the hood and splash across the windshield. The water blurs our view of the world captured in the beams of the truck's headlights. Fatso curses and turns on the wipers.
"Not far now," Fatso assures me.
The world inside the Ashland City enclave is as wretched as the world its walls were erected to keep out. The original buildings are covered in graffiti and bizarre religious slogans. A work of art three stories tall stands on the lawn of the courthouse. The rusting totem resembles crucifix and broadcast tower. Guy wires are bolted into the sidewalk.
The soldiers I see are dark-eyed and pale. They appear in the headlights like ghosts and flinch from the beams. Their eyes are sunken and their skin is drawn tight over their bones. They huddle together in doorways to escape the rain. They watch with cold hatred as we pass.
I glance in the rear view mirror and realize I look nearly the same. We're all headed there, some faster than others.
The traffic from other checkpoints is routed onto a single widened street. Everyone has the same destination here. All vehicles are bound for the grim concrete edifice of the Fourth Army HQ. I don't know why Fatso is taking me there. Protocol? Interrogation?
I glimpse things I wish I hadn't down alleyways and behind buildings. Things not quite picked out by the headlights.
Soldiers swing bludgeons at someone or something on the ground. There is a mannequin's head sitting on a doorstep. Someone has covered it in candle wax and scrawled obscenities in paint or blood on the wall of the nearby house. There are suggestions of rape and murder. Bloody marks and smoldering cars. Reprisal killings. Bodies lashed upright to chain link fences.
Fourth Army is going feral. It's caged here and turning on itself, dissolving into a primitive tribal parody of military order. Is it the tone making them do this? The presence of the angels? That sickening glow in the sky? Or is this what any army - any civilization - does when facing total destruction?
I don't know, but God help those sorry crowds of refugees outside Ashland City when this pot boils over.
Finally: an advice column for the rest of us! (Who seek to enslave humanity.)
Even the most fervent gun control advocate would admit that guns kill people, not other guns. We must become the guns we wish to see in the world.
In the latest Metal Gear twist, Big Boss could be ANYONE - politicians, celebrities, dogs, even YOU!
A Goon outs himself as a wizard and gets a warm reception from the rogues/rangers/paladins gallery!
Malcolm McDowell, Lou Gossett Jr., cocaine-fueled Ewok traps, and…a nuclear Y2K holocaust?
The Something Awful front page news tackles anything both off and on the Internet. Mostly "on" though, as we're all incredible nerds.

Okay, summary of story first. Humanity is losing the war against aliens invading and tearing a hole in humanity's a**hole (all of Europe, decimated), people are fighting them with mechas because they have overpowered anti-aircraft snipers, and these things brutally eat everything in their path with all sizes of forces, even Godzilla size aliens!

Story writing is well, and at least It doesn't thrive on the "with the power of friendship!" theme most anime piggy back on these days. Had to give up on Fairy Tail because of that.

5 out of 8 people found this review helpful:Best Anime Mix of Story and Mecha fightsI would rate this anime right up there with Full Metal Panic and Gundam! This one is very well done. The mecha fights are bold and don't over power the overall anime. The anime has just the right amount of story to make the styling great! Love it!
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful:Another Awesome Entry in the Mecha GenreI've watched a lot of mecha anime from Neon Genesis Evangelion to all the various Gundam series and I was really impressed with Total Eclipse.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hampton Inn Alexandria - Old Town/King Street Metro
Charming Hotel on King St.
We stayed four nights at the Hampton Inn. This charming hotel is a perfect spot for exploring Washington DC because it is down the street from the Metro. We also like staying here because Alexandria is a nice town to come back to at the end of the day. There are a lot of good restaurants and shops in the area . The hotel is great because the rooms are large and clean and the staff is pleasant and very helpful. The bonus is the breakfast that is included. I cannot wait until my next visit.
Great Hotel - family friendly!
We spent 5 nights at the Inn. Very thing was excellent. The room was large enough for our family of five and the continental breakfast was great. The location was very convenient to the T and to Old Town Alexandria. Our only disappointment was that the pool closed at 8 pm, before we returned several days from our sightseeing adventures!
Very good in every way
Stayed for 9 days while visiting D C. The breakfasts were well above "contenental", rooms were clean with excellent furniture, ALL staff were quick to help/advise, parking convienent allthough we only used metro system, Dash bus stopped in front of hotel and we will certainly stay there on our next visit.
Great hotel, great value, great location
I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel was nicely decorated and must have been recently renovated as everything was in great condition and very clean. The service was courteous and friendly. It is what I would expect from a four star hotel - you could not walk by any staff member without being greeted and asked if they could do anything for you. The free continental breakfast had more options then what is typically served. $8.00 parking is much cheaper than the $20.00 or so a night typically charged in the area. The metro stop is a block and a half away and if you fly into Regan National Airport it is a five minute train ride away with a stop right outside the airport. There are many nice restaurants in the surrounding blocks and the biggest problem you face is choosing which one to eat in. The last time I stayed in the DC area I stayed at a dump for the same price, so I was surprised how nice this one was for the money.
Best of both worlds
This hotel was really the best of both worlds. First, rooms were comfortable and clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and there was a good breakfast in the lobby included. The location in Alexandria might seem odd for sight-seeing in DC, but we were 2 blocks from the Metro...blue and yellow lines, which take you to two different areas of the Mall in about 10 minutes. After spending the day in DC, go back to the hotel for a rest, and then you are ready to choose from a large selection of all kinds of restaurants that you can walk to. This part of Alexandria is quaint and historic in feel and seemed quite safe to stroll around to eat and window shop in the evening. Just keep your car in the hotel's underground garage ($8 day, much less than the prices in DC). We didn't use it except to go to the new Air and Space Museum at Dulles Airport (don't miss it).
No problems here!
We stayed at the Hampton on King Street for one night in November '03, after a long day of travel from Alaska. Check-in was a breeze, it was like they were waiting for me as they welcomed me by name (things were admittedly slow late on a Saturday night). A nice touch nonetheless.
Parking is a very reasonable $8 a night, you drive around the block behind the hotel and enter a well-lit and secure underground garage.
The room was not too big, not too small, nicely appointed, clean, and quiet. Breakfast was in the lobby from 6 am to 10 am. I thought the jack in the wall was for high speed internet but alas, it was only a standard telephone outlet. Providing broadband would be my only suggestion for improvement. Overall, this was a very enjoyable stay and I would definitely come back.
Great Hotel
I was very pleased with my stay at this hotel! Not only is the location great, the staff was very professional and friendly! It is worth paying a little extra for this Hampton Inn as it is beautiful, convenient and very clean! I travel to this area quite a bit and I now plan on staying at this hotel each time I come into town! See you soon Hampton Inn Old Town/King Street.
The Best Hampton Inn I've Stayed In
My wife and I stayed at the Hampton Inn Old Town/King Street after deciding to take a small trip to the DC area to escape the hustle and bustle in the city. What a GREAT idea! The hotel was a very upscale Hampton Inn and right in the heart of historic Old Town. We really felt like we were in a 4 star hotel with the decor, service and location.
Parking is available at a small fee and the metro is only 2 blocks away. We enjoyed all the many unique restaurants and shops and came away very refreshed from our relaxing trip! I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a GREAT hotel at a GREAT price!
Thanks Hampton Inn Old Town/King Street!!!!!!!!!
Extremely pleased with the Hampton Inn
We had a very good stay. The hotel was very well kept -- very clean, nice decor, helpful staff and close to a metro station. The hotel parking was also inexpensive. The complimentary breakfast was very good - nice variety - more than I expected.The only thing I wished was that the bathrooms had fans in them. When we'd shower, the room would fog up. Other than that, it was perfect. We would definitely stay there again.
Some uneasy moments
We stayed the weekend of Oct 26th -- we certainly did have some very uneasy moments as a result of the staffs lack of emergency response training.
The Fire Department had need to respond to an alarm and I observed a major delay in obtaining a elevator key for the firemen. After trying every key in the key safe, the firemen gave up and went back outside to find one.
Neither could the key to turn off the alarm be located and while the firemen worked feverishly
for nearly a 1/2 hour to silence the alarm, no assurances were provided to the guests.

October 6, 2015: BMW India is expected to launch the perforace version of the X6 sports activity coupe, the X6M on October 15. Earlier the manufacturer has launched their 2015 X6 in the country at a whopping price of Rs 1.15 crore (ex-showroom India). The second generation coupe-styled crossover joined the X range of SUVs - X1, X3 and X3 in India. The 2015 vehicle has retained the essence of the first generation car, but it is now sharper and mature, more in-line with current Bimmers. Speaking of the new vehicle, the vehicle has shed close to 40 kilos and it continues to feature the 50:50 weight distribution, just like its predecessor. Mechanically, it is powered by a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder turbo diesel. The oil burner chucks out 313 PS and 630 Nm of max torque - xDrive40d M-Sport variant.
After months of speculation, BMW India has finally reintroduced its lustrous SUV, X6 in the country. This four-wheeler represents a new breed of styling in the SUV segment owing to its coupe like silhouette and bold body structure. This model from the German auto giant has been introduced in only one variant with M sport package as standard. This second generation version has made its debut at the last year's auto expo held in Moscow. The company claims that this SUV was produced and comprehensively re-engineered with the third generation X5 in a joint development program. The automaker also stated that this vehicle is about 40 Kgs lighter than its predecessor, as it is said to be built using high strength steel, aluminum and thermoplastics. It is already available in some international markets in a few trim levels, but in India, it comes only in xDrive40 trim. It is equipped with a an evolved 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine under the hood. The manufacturer has updated the transmission with a newly developed 8-speed sport automatic transmission. It breaks the 100 Kmph barrier in just 5.8 seconds, which is remarkable for an SUV. As speculated earlier, this vehicle has been brought to the Indian soil through the CBU route.
There are several updates which we can see in terms of both inside and out. Starting with the exteriors, it gets a modified air dam, re-designed air inlets, and repositioned fog lamps. At the same time, its also gets LED tail lamps, new design headlight cluster, a set of stylish alloy wheels and redesigned bumpers. The addition of M Sport package is another aspect that gives a modern appeal to the vehicle. It is blessed with driver assistance features like a full color BMW Head-Up display that can project all the relevant information directly into the driver's line of vision. Another such feature is the BMW Night Vision with Dynamic light spot that has a technology to detect larger animals and people at night and illuminates them even at a significant distance. However, these features are available as optional fitments. As for the comfort and functionality, it hosts an array of features like 4-zone automatic air conditioning system, park distance control, electrically adjustable seats and an advanced iDrive unit with handwriting recognition system. In terms of safety, this model is equipped with sophisticated aspects like active front head restraints, airbags, electronic vehicle immobilizer with crash sensor and side impact protection. This newly launched SUV will now take on the likes of Audi Q7, Porsche Macan and Volvo XC90 and Mercedes Benz GL Class in India.
The external appearance of this second generation BMW X6 explains that it has retained the same body structure from its predecessor. However, it gets much bolder and aggressive in its design that certainly lures the auto enthusiasts. The front facade is fitted with a slightly pronounced kidney bean shaped grille, which is designed with vertical slats and thick chrome surround. This is complimented by the bold lines on the bonnet. The headlight cluster gets a bit sleek and is housed with LED headlights featuring high beam assistance. The bumpers have been redesigned to give a masculine look to the frontage. It has a nudge guard sort of arrangement featuring air inlets. It also has round shaped fog lamps along with chrome accents that renders it a premium appeal. From the side facet, it looks more like a crossover and a coupe. It gets all the styling aspects like a set of alloy wheels, body colored ORVMs including door handles and black B pillars. The rear end gives you a glimpse of a sedan, thanks to its boot lid. The tail light cluster is powered by LED brake lights and turn indicators that further adds to its elegance. The rear bumper is in body color, but it seems to be assembled with some sort of a ceramic look-alike material that connects both the exhaust pipes. Overall, this second generation X6 looks refreshing and it will certainly lure the automobile enthusiasts.
Exterior Measurements:
This reintroduced SUV has the same external measurements like its predecessor with a total length measuring 4909mm, width at 2170mm and height at 1702mm. It has a long wheelbase of 2933mm, which explains about the cabin space. At the same time, it also has a minimum ground clearance of 212mm that contributes for its off-road capabilities.
he insides are quite refined as every inch inside the cabin reflects richness and craftsmanship of skilled designers. The manufacturer has used a great amount of leather and superior grade plastic for designing the cabin. It gets a completely redesigned dashboard with fine-wood accents with glossy finish along with a few metallic inserts. The steering wheel has a signature three-spoke design along with the company's logo embedded on it. This leather wrapped steering wheel is mounted with several illuminated control switches related to audio, calls and cruise control. Right behind this, there is a large instrument cluster that houses analogue gauges along with a color display. The seating arrangement is luxurious that can host at least five occupants. These seats are covered with premium grade leather upholstery that renders an opulent look to the cabin. While the seats have electrical adjustment facility along with lumbar support for added comfort. The company has given a lot of importance to the driver orientation to enhance convenience and driving experience. For this, its floor and the center console in the cockpit are equipped with an array of equipments, which are easy to reach and operate.
Interior Comfort:
As for comfort features, this model series is equipped with several advanced comfort features unlike rest of the SUVs in this company's portfolio.

Furthermore, it also has power adjustable front seats including memory function, leather upholstery for seats, smokers package, inside and outside rear view mirrors with automatic anti-dazzling function, roller sun blinds for rear side windows 60:40 split foldable rear bench seat. Along with these, the manufacturer has also equipped it with an electric glass sunroof and parking distance control feature for front and rear.
Interior Measurements:
This second generation SUV offers more space to the occupants than its predecessor. Its front cabin has a headroom of 1013mm and a shoulder space of 1562mm. Its rear cabin has a shoulder room of 1514mm and a decent head space of 961mm. It is also fitted with a bigger fuel tank that has a storage space of 85 litres.
Like mentioned above, this newly launched SUV has arrived with a 2993cc power-plant under the hood. The transmission duties are given to a newly developed 8-speed steptronic sport automatic transmission gearbox. This allows the vehicle to reach a top speed of 240 Kmph, while reaching the 100 Kmph mark in just 5.8 seconds.
The manufacturer has launched only one variant of this X6 series and it is the xDrive40d trim. It houses a 3.0-litre mill that has a displacement capacity of 2993cc. It consists of six cylinders, with 4 valves in each cylinder. An advanced common rail direct fuel injection system makes for efficient fuel transfer. It is also integrated with a twin-power turbocharger with variable turbine geometry for optimum delivery of power and enhanced performance. It is capable of unleashing a maximum power of 313bhp at 4400rpm that results in a pounding torque of 630Nm between 1500 to 2500rpm. This power plant is now mated with a newly developed 8-speed steptronic sports based automatic transmission gearbox that distributes its torque output to all four wheels.
As expected, the manufacturer has introduced this SUV with a diesel train option only. It is a 3.0-litre, twin-turbo mill that is integrated with a critically acclaimed common rail direct injection technology. This enables it to deliver a maximum mileage of 15.87 Kmpl.
This motor comprises of six cylinders and is integrated with twin turbochargers with variable turbine geometry. It enables it to produce a maximum power of 313bhp along with a peak torque of 630Nm.

CVKING .LONG TERM: (Monday through Next Sunday) Issued at 221 PM CDT Sun Oct 11 2015 Cold front still expected to move across the area early on Monday with a wind shift to the northwest. Temperatures should remain warm on Monday, despite the early wind shift. These warm temperatures coupled with dropping dewpoints (mixing) should result in relative humidity values dropping toward critical fire weather thresholds in the afternoon. Will continue to highlight the heightened fire weather danger in the HWO. Dominant northwest flow synoptic weather pattern will keep temperatures seasonal and send several cold fronts toward the region this week. Strongest front arrives Thursday night, accompanied by a slight chance of showers. High temperatures next Friday and Saturday look to be in the 60s, compared with the 70s the rest of the week. CVKING && .AVIATION: (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Monday Afternoon) Issued at 1218 PM CDT Sun Oct 11 2015 Winds will remain out of the south to southwest until a cold front moves through the region after 12/10z. BUFKIT profiles show strong (>40kts) southwest winds aloft after 12/03z and ahead of the approaching front, therefore LLWS has been introduced for this set of TAFs. The LLWS threat may be mitigated if the surface winds overnight end up being stronger than currently forecast. There is little moisture available therefore no precipitation is expected with fropa.

I have been wanting these shoes for so long, and finally got them for my wedding next month.

Really looking forward to wearing them on my wedding day!Size Rated As:

I'm not usually a girl who wears white, but I decided to take the plunge and make my maiden voyage when I spied these beautiful shoes on the Schuh website. Having read the previous reviews, I went a size up from my normal size, and they are wonderfully comfortable. They look feminine, elegant and dainty. I've never bought Irregular Choice before, but I'm already converted. Every serious shoe-lover should own at least one pair. Gorgeous!Size Rated As:

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Rick Hendrick remembers the stress-filled days in 2001 when he was trying to launch a new team with an unproven driver.
He had an interested sponsor in Lowe's, but wasn't sure he could sell the company built around a 25-year-old nobody who had four top-five finishes in an underwhelming Nationwide Series career.
So Hendrick called in Jeff Gordon for help in sealing the deal on Jimmie Johnson, the driver Gordon had noticed on the track and brought to the team owner's attention.
"I was scared to death when I went to talk to Lowe's the first time about Jimmie _ could he win?" Hendrick recalled. "We had to get Jeff to go make appearances for Lowe's in the beginning. We were doing everything we had to do in the beginning to make that deal work."
Lowe's signed off on Johnson, and Hendrick pulled former Hendrick Motorsports mechanic Chad Knaus back into the organization for the crew chief job on the brand new No. 48 Chevrolet. Twelve seasons later, the duo was looking forward to collecting the hardware for their sixth championship in Friday night's awards ceremony at Wynn Las Vegas.
"I don't take any credit for it," Hendrick said. "Sometimes it just happens. We were able to put something together that turned out to be lightning in a bottle."
Johnson has won 66 races since Hendrick paired him with Knaus for the start of the 2002 season. They reeled off an unprecedented five consecutive Cup titles from 2006 through 2010, and after a two-year hiatus they captured No. 6 to put Johnson behind only Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt's record seven titles.
"I know the pairing of us, there's something magical there and it works," Johnson said. "I say this confidently: I would not have the success I've had in this sport if it wasn't for Chad and our relationship together."
Knaus trails only Hall of Fame crew chief Dale Inman, who won eight championships _ seven with Petty and one with Terry Labonte. He steadfastly refuses to compare himself to Inman, or consider where he might rank among NASCAR's greatest crew chiefs.
"I'm not even close to what he's done, so there's no reason to even talk about that," Knaus said. "I think Dale, until we get seven (championships), then maybe we can start to develop that parallel or draw those comparisons. But right now? No. Dale's the man. He's done some pretty impressive stuff."
So have Johnson and Knaus. The duo has defied the odds in becoming the present-day version of Petty and Inman, who were cousins and worked on cars together as young boys.
Johnson and Knaus barely knew each other when Hendrick matched them. Knaus had spent five seasons in the organization and was part of two of Gordon's championships before leaving in 1998 to advance above mechanic and fabricator.
Knaus ran Dodge's development team for two seasons, then got the call to crew chief in 2001 for Stacy Compton.
Needing someone for the No. 48 team, the Hendrick hierarchy chose Knaus over two other candidates because he'd been convinced by vice president of competition Ken Howes that "Chad's been here, he knows the system, he can work on the 48 and be good. So we said `OK, we'll go with Chad.' "
It's not always been the smoothest relationship. The two were nearly separated by Hendrick because of their bickering during the failed 2005 run for a first championship.

When a person travels to a location that is greater than 8,000 feet, they must do so at a speed that allows their body to acclimatize to certain changes, such as decreased air pressure, low humidity, and greater exposure to ultraviolet rays. Typically, full acclimatization can take as much as five days. If a person does not fully acclimatize to the higher altitude, it may cause a condition known as altitude sickness. The three forms of altitude sickness are acute mountain sickness, high altitude pulmonary edema, and high-altitude cerebral edema. Many people enjoy activities that allow them to get outside and take in some fresh air, but hikers, skiers, and others who are traveling to great heights must educate themselves about altitude sickness when planning their trip. This knowledge is important so that they can prevent or recognize it, and know what to do if they or one of their companions should become ill.
It was just Julian and I Saturday, so we decided to go on a hike to Wahclella Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. This is an easy 2 mile round trip family friendly hike on the Oregon side of the Columbia River. The trailhead is near exit 40 off I-84. It is an out and back hike with a loop about three quarters of the way in. The trail passes Munra Falls (literally feet away) before ending at Wahclella Falls.
It has been awhile since we last camped at Rock Creek Reservoir, so we booked a couple sites and took off early Friday for a fun weekend of camping. It was one of the only weekends I was able to find sites suitable for our trailer. Rock Creek Reservoir is a 100 acre lake (when full in the Spring) located in Tygh Valley within the Mt Hood National Forest (SE side of Mt Hood). The lake is about 6 miles WSW of the town of Wamic and is stocked several times each Spring with rainbow trout.
Before heading to Sunriver on Friday morning to spend Memorial Day weekend with our family, we stopped to fly fish nearby Fall River. It is a relatively short cold spring fed river that flows into the Deschutes River. There are rainbow, brown, and brook trout that call Fall River home. Fishing is restricted to artificial barbless flies.
My friend John invited me salmon fishing again. We launched at the Swan Island boat ramp hoping to finally catch a chinook on the Willamette River. John's friend Kirk was also with us.
John's friend Joe plans an annual guys camping trip near Lake Harriet every year around the trout stocking schedule. This years trip fell in the middle of April and John invited me to join them.
Lake Harriet is a 22 acre reservoir on the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River. It is located about 47 miles Southeast of Portland. There is a campground on the East end (upriver end) hosting 11 primitive sites.
I had the whole day Wednesday with my Mini-Adventurer, so we took advantage of the weather and headed to the Columbia River Gorge for a waterfall hike. Ever since we moved out to the country with a small creek on our property, he has been enamored with water. I figured a hike full of waterfalls would really impress him. Our plan was to hike the Multnomah and Wahkeena Falls loop. It's just under 5 miles round-trip.
After seeing very little snow this winter, I was happy to see a few Spring snow storms roll over the Mt Hood area the past week. Enough snow fell in the higher elevations to afford me another snowmobile trip. It's like Christmas in April!
After dropping my son off at Grandma's for the day, I met my friend John at the Swan Island boat ramp to try my hand at catching a chinook. John and his dad were nice enough to pick me up in their boat with everything ready to go.
This has been one of the warmest winters in Oregon that I can remember. We have had very little snow accumulation in the mountains and no snowpack at pass level. It has been a disappointing season for snowmobiling. One positive is many roads are open that are usually impassable by passenger vehicles in the winter. This fact allowed my friend John and I to drive to the little bit of higher elevation snow that does exist.
I wanted to take advantage of the snow while it's around, so I planned a snow camping trip with my friend John. I had Friday after New Years off, so I went up alone and spent the day scouting out a spot and setting up camp for the weekend. I had to make two trips pulling gear behind my snowmobile since I was alone. I found a secluded spot just below Frog Lake Buttes (right above Green Lake). The weather was pleasant Friday and the snow still deep up higher.
Almost a foot of fresh snow fell this weekend around Mt Hood. My friend Jordan and I drove up to Frog Lake SnoPark for a fun day of snowmobile riding. I was sure just how much snow had fallen in the area, but I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the snopark Sunday morning. I nearly got my truck stuck parking, due to how much fresh snow was on the ground.
Merry Christmas! While we didn't get a white Christmas in town, Mt Hood finally received about 4-10" of snow at pass level. I had Friday off from work, so I decided to go up to Frog Lake SnoPark and check it out.
Its looking like another late year for snow unfortunately. I have had a snow camping trip planned for months with friends, but it was shaping up to be more of a wet weekend than a snowy one. We waited until the last minute to choose our destination hoping snow would come. Unfortunately that was not the case. We all took Friday off and I headed up early in the morning. Our destination was High Prairie just below Lookout Mountain at about 6,000 feet elevation. High Prairie is East of Mount Hood about 45 minutes (26 miles) from Government Camp off Hwy 35.
Most of our mountain snow melted during the week, but some fresh snow fell this weekend. I found reports of snowfall amounts from a couple inches to almost a foot! I was excited to get out snowmobiling again, so I convinced my friend John to go up Sunday morning with me. Our plan was to head to Little John SnoPark and drive up road 44 as high as we needed to before unloading the snowmobiles.

Rosi, 25, is set to join the side on a loan deal. The Italian, who played in 21 League games last season, can play as a right-back or in midfield.
Meanwhile, striker Okaka will be signed outright. The 23-year-old spent last season at Parma, scoring three goals in 14 Serie A games.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The CFPB's final rule amending Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) as amended by Dodd-Frank, became effective January 10. Among other things, the new rule requires mortgage servicers to provide borrowers with periodic statements that meet very specific content, form, and timing requirements. This rule does not exempt servicers from the periodic statement requirement even if the servicer receives a "cease communication" request from a borrower's attorney. So, servicers who receive these requests must choose between: (a) not sending the borrower a statement and risking violation of the new rule and TILA, or (b) sending a statement and potentially violating state consumer collection statutes that prohibit communication with a represented borrower. For the most part, mortgage servicers have chosen option (b). As a result, they may face a rash of lawsuits.
While there are no reported decisions yet, the CFPB issued a helpful Advisory Opinion addressing whether a servicer would be liable under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692k(e), for sending periodic statements despite a borrower's "cease communication" request. In its Advisory Opinion, the CFPB expressly exempted servicers from liability under the FDCPA, indicating that they are required to send periodic statements irrespective of whether they receive a "cease communication" request. The CFPB made clear that it "believes that these [periodic statements] provide useful information to consumers regardless of their collections status."
The Advisory Opinion does not address servicers' liability under parallel state consumer collection statutes, but it provides powerful ammunition to defeat such claims because most state statutes substantively track the FDCPA, and often defer to FDCPA case law. Servicers may also have a "conflict preemption" argument against state law claims. By its terms, TILA preempts any application of state law that is inconsistent with TILA's mandates. Since TILA now requires servicers to send periodic statements irrespective of whether they receive a "cease communication" request from the borrower, state consumer collection statutes that prohibit periodic statements under those circumstances seem inconsistent with TILA's mandates, and may be preempted.
