"Just returned from staying 4 days in this great condo. It is exactly like the pictures and description on website. Short distance from Main St by car. You can walk it if you're in good shape especially on your way home uphill. Check in and check out were extremely easy with Michael at Peak Properties. Only reason I gave it 4 stars in property was the shower liner in master bath had icky mildew on it. Would highly recommend staying here anytime. Great value for summertime getaway."Guest: Jacci B.

"We stayed here (4 guys) for a week of skiing. This is a very nice house with a great ski in / ski out location. It is a great location for both skiing and getting into town. It is about a 15 minute walk to town, but of course the trip back is all uphill. Plenty of room for 4, a family with kids would also do well in this house. Only slight complaint is the TV situation, not very big and not high def. But, you're there to ski and get outside, not watch TV. Radiant heating in the floors is really nice. Property managers are always available and helpful."Guest: Woolly Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 23, 2015View listing
"Not only is this place exceptionally clean and cared for, but it is a great location. If you are there to ski the Snowflake lift is right out your door. You are within a mile walk of Main St., paved trails, and you can hike from there as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, cooking and bake ware, and even multiple coffee makers. Additional bonuses were the washer/dryer, 2 full baths, and the outside hot tub and grill. We couldn't have asked for anything more and hope to return next year!"Guest: Kelly S.

We Can't Get Enough of Fifty Shades of Grey
The movie may have been released in February, but we still can't get...Posted April 28th
Let me start by saying that I'm short.
Not diminutive or petite but short. Four feet, ten-and-a-quarter inches worth of short, to be exact. Just a quarter-inch past tall enough to qualify for the United States Air Force.
I read years ago that the height limit to designate a person as a dwarf or midget was a quarter inch lower than my own height. That only bothered me when I thought my size might help me get a college scholarship. Apparently, in this one instance, I was not short enough. But no one would ever mistake me for tall or even average height. By any current measurement, I am short.
I know Orson Scott Card. I have pictures of myself standing next to him. Scott is far from short. Why he chose to write a book that not only makes lack of height an asset but comes close to glorifying it is beyond me.
Nevertheless, I thank him profusely for it.
Of course it does. Anyone my size who's tried to adjust a showerhead, use a hotel magnifying mirror, or pull clothes out of the top dryer knows that. The world is not set up for short people. Kitchen counters are too high, causing wrist and shoulder problems for those of us who like to cook. Chairs are too tall, cutting off circulation mid-thigh and leading to stiff legs at best, phlebitis at worst.

All I have to say.
Thank you, BigJohn! I definitely want more of these characters! I have to say, without having read the other stories, it feels like a family that has already appeared in six or seven novels. So Mr Sigler needs to write those…please?
Welcome, new Sigler Junkie! There are four stories:
- Hunter Hunterson and Sons (Short Story: Blood is Red)
- Hunter Hunterson and Sons: Home (Short Story: Bones are White)
- Hunter Hunterson and Sons: The $15 Burger (Short Story: Bones are White, podiobooks.com, cast reading on Audible version and here: http://ec.libsyn.com/p/9/c/6/9c6fa38697c25a95/29_FridayFix___SiglerFest_2011_Hunter_Hunterson__the_15_Burger.mp3?d13a76d516d9dec20c3d276ce028ed5089ab1ce3dae902ea1d06cb8033d4c85f0a08&c_id=3421471)
- Hunter Hunterson and Sons: The Case of the Haunted Safeway (Short Story: Games Creatures Play)
Looks like you may have found them all. Enjoy!
James, there is a curriculum guide that is available for free right here on the site.
1. Go to the STORE link in the banner above.
2. Scroll down to the picture of THE ROOKIE
3. Click the VIEW PRODUCTS button below the picture
4. Among the available options, you'll see the PDF version of the Rookie Curriculum Guide
I think I remember someone saying something about how it LOOKS like something is going to be charged, but nothing actually is. I think it might ask you for a credit card or something, even though it is free. I think that's a limitation of the shopping cart software.
While you're on Facebook, stop on by the SiglerJunkies group!
So, I'm new to Scott Sigler. I just read the story in Games Creatures Play, and loved it. I see there are HH&S stories in Blood is Red and Bones are White. Any more?
Thanks Scott. I absolutely love that you make yourself available to your fan base. Liking Alive alot. I like that the reader is in the dark as much as Em.
Michael: By the end of 2015, but not by then end of the summer.
Is there going to be an Alive specific forum?
I am pretty sure I've heard somewhere that there is a teacher version or something of the sort available. I have a friend on Facebook that I've been wanting to suggest it to. But I can't find it anywhere.
I discovered Scott in November and when I finish with Alive next week I will have read or listened to all of his available work except Earthcore. My question is do I set out on a quest to find a print copy of the original edition or is the revised edition dropping before summer is over?
Very much appreciated, Big John. I didn't find that looking around the site.

Graduates of ISU work in a variety of sectors including the construction industry, the manufacturing industry, and public K-12 education. The majority of alumni accept jobs in the education industry. Median pay for those who graduated from ISU amounts to around $58K.
Male graduates of ISU out-earn their female counterparts significantly, earning an average of $67K versus $47K for women.
The most generous salaries among ISU alumni are reportedly earned by Safety Directors, whose median earnings come to approximately $90K, followed by Environmental Health & Safety Managers (about $73K) and Safety Managers ($60K). Mental Health Counselors face rather mediocre compensation — average salaries are actually the lowest at $37K.
Indianapolis, Ind. is a hub for ISU graduates — a large number call this city home. With a median salary of $86K, Chicago, Ill. represents the highest-paid city popular among ISU grads. Indiana State University grads are so loyal to Terre Haute that a sizable number choose to stay after graduating, despite median salary there ranking lowest among popular cities (about $37K). Nearby Jasper, Ind. is also a top pick for ISU grads, as is Evansville, Ind.
A Bachelor of Science in Aviation will compensate ISU grads at a much higher rate than other degrees — these alums rake in approximately $105K on average per year. Those holding a Master of Science (MS), Communication are less fortunate in terms of earnings, bringing in around $36K on average per year.
Competency in OSHA Compliance translates into above-average pay for former Sycamores — they earn 22 percent more than their fellow graduates. Microsoft Excel is a popular skill among ISU alumni, with approximately one in eight workers reporting using it on the job. Microsoft Office, Project Management, and Operations Management are among other dominant skills.
Though just under half of the graduates get paid time off for vacation, only one in three grads receive paid sick leave. Most graduates participate in a 401(k) program. For this school, a large number of grads are the recipients of health benefits, and a fair number of alums pick up dental plans, too. Alumni of Indiana State University also take in life insurance, a company-subsidized cell phone, a casual working environment, and tuition reimbursement.
Alumni of Indiana University of Pennsylvania pick up average paychecks of $57K, which is closest to the amount made by ISU grads among similar schools. Illinois State University, Tennessee State University, and Oakland University are also similar to ISU.

MINNEAPOLIS — On and off the field, the Dodgers are still struggling to figure things out.
A few hours after owner Frank McCourt won a reprieve in bankruptcy court to maintain day-to-day operations of the cash-strapped ballclub, Ted Lilly was trying to maintain control of his pitches.
For one day, at least, McCourt was more successful.
Lilly lost his third consecutive start Tuesday night, giving up six runs and nine hits in a 6-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins. After falling behind early, the Dodgers rallied to make it 4-4 in the fifth after Aaron Miles' first homer of the season and Andre Ethier's two-run single.
But Minnesota's Luke Hughes hit a two-run homer in the bottom half of the inning, Lilly was pulled, and the Dodgers didn't score again.
"I'm not quite sure what's going on with him," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Lilly. "But obviously they're getting to him early."
A day after beating the Twins 15-0 on a club-record 25 hits, the Dodgers found themselves down, 3-0, after two innings. Minnesota scored in four of the first five innings, just as the Dodgers had a day earlier.
Twins starter Brian Duensing (5-7) retired eight of the first nine batters, allowing just a single to Miles, but eight of the next 12 hitters reached base.
"I'm hurting the ball club," Lilly said. "Four runs should be enough for us to win. We also threw five innings of scoreless relief, too. It'd be nice to give us a better shot to win that game."
Lilly has allowed at least five runs in his past three starts, continuing a frustrating string. He's yielded 17 runs in his last 142/3 innings. Minnesota stole four bases against the soft-tossing lefty.
"It seems like every time I go to throw over at the first, they're standing there, and then when I go home they're standing on second," Lilly said.
Minnesota snapped its six-game losing streak. The Dodgers still haven't won more than three in a row this season.
"For the most part, we've been able to put a couple games together," Mattingly said. "Looks like we might get something going here or there, and then we just seem to fall back. Obviously we're going to need to win tomorrow and keep trying to put this thing together."
Off the field, meanwhile, McCourt is in a Delaware bankruptcy court in a contentious battle over one of the most storied — and lucrative — franchises in baseball. The ownership fight is linked in part to McCourt's divorce from his wife and former team CEO Jamie McCourt, who is also claiming half his assets.
Dodgers C Rod Barajas (sprained right ankle) is progressing in his rehab, taking batting practice and throwing. Mattingly said Barajas is in line to play rehab games Saturday and Sunday. ... Miles is hitting .419 in June, the top mark in the National League.

Pardee's Picks: The Art of Hill HudsonJuxtapoz // Saturday, September 29, 2012
I was up in Portland a few months ago eating donuts and playing dress up at Upper Playground when I crossed paths with an artist named Hill Hudson who, after talking for a few minutes, handed me a sticker that was cooler than any sticker I had seen since the Zorlac and Santa Cruz skateboard days. When I say cool, however, I mean cool as in "disgusting."
The Animated Gifs of James Jirat PatradoonJuxtapoz // Saturday, September 29, 2012
'James Jirat Patradoon (born 1985) is an Australian Artist/Illustrator. He creates character driven visual art, born of fictional worlds of borrowed imagery that act as distorted mirrors to our reality, mashed-up and remixed to create new stories. Inspired by the fashion and costume of black metal music, gangster rap, professional wrestling, sci-fi films, and superheroes, James' work is an irreverent take on the stoic nature of macho pop culture.'

The Illustrations of MonstarkIllustration // Friday, September 28, 2012
Mark Thompson loves to make monstrous things, and looks much more normal than he should. He resides reclusively in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he is slowly procuring the means to trans-shape from human form into beast. He will continue to make art, zines, comics and music until he finds his hands too large, his claws too unwieldy, to use tools.

The Works of Crude Dude illustrator, Jose AngelesJuxtapoz // Friday, September 28, 2012
For Crude Dude illustrator Jose Angeles, I'm going to let the reviews of his work do the talking... "If there ever was a comic-book equivalent to grindcore music, Jose Gabriel Angeles is it!", "Crude Dude is a great collection of violence, political debates, controversy, honesty, fun and all around whackieness." "Messy art, messy violence and messy nihilism from a cut-rate Mike Diana clone who reeks of high school" Nailed it.
The Work of Nick BlazeyJuxtapoz // Friday, September 28, 2012

Serena Cole was born to Californian suburban parents who lost their love for each other as soon as the pool was built on the honeymoon home. Afterward, her mother married a man because he looked like Tom Selleck, who lived on the top of mountain. Forced to leave the roller-skatable sidewalks of San Jose, at age nine she found herself living off-the-grid in the Sierra Nevadas and spent the rest of her childhood looking for the mall....

The improvement of China Construction Bank's risk management tools and processes in 2010 cemented its influential position in the industry and led to it being named Asia Risk's 2011 House of the Year, China
It was a consolidation year for the global economy in 2010. Adhering to its customer-focused and market-oriented operating philosophy, China Construction Bank (CCB) has adopted active risk management to support its business development and innovation, achieving sustained improvement in asset quality and continuous enhancements in its value creation capabilities. At the end of 2010, CCB's non-performing loans (NPLs) were reduced by RMB7,444 million year-on-year, and its NPL ratio declined 0.36 percentage points. Its core business indexes, including capital adequacy ratio, provision coverage ratio, net return on total assets and net return on equity, were among the best in the domestic banking industry.
Pronounced results from structural adjustments
In 2010, CCB responded to the State's macro-control policies by further refining its credit policy – enhancing and guaranteeing credit placement to some industries, while controlling, compressing and withdrawing from others – along different industrial, regional, consumer and product lines. Active risk choices were also made by employing risk limits and economic capital, by refining baselines and credit approval guidelines, and by specifying guidelines for credit access and withdrawal. Subsequently, the credit structure of CCB was further improved by withdrawing RMB104.5 billion in credit, not NPLs. The spare credit resources were used to nurture new profit growth and further fortify CCB's leading position in the market for infrastructure loans and personal housing loans. It also succeeded in maintaining its leading position in the industry for small enterprise loans. The growth in agriculture-related loans outperformed all major banks.
Effective control of underlying risks
CCB has strived to enhance its capabilities of risk monitoring by relying on platforms including a credit extension monitoring system and a corporate customer early-warning and surveillance system. The systems include credit approval, provisioning for impairment, post-lending management and collection. In the meantime, CCB has strictly controlled the credit supply to key areas: industries with overcapacities, government financing platforms and the real estate sector. It has refined the management of its list system, established strict access standards and strengthened its approval checks. At the end of 2010, its balance of loans to industries with overcapacities was reduced by RMB19.3 billion year-on-year. New loans for real estate development were the lowest among major commercial banks and its NPL ratio for the real estate sector continued to decrease, with a drop of 0.96 percentage points year-on-year.
In-depth application of risk management tools
CCB accelerated the development and application of risk management technologies and tools, launching 27 credit-rating models for corporate customers, nine retail banking scorecards and a credit-rating model for small enterprise customers. A new generation of internal rating systems is in use for CCB's daily operations and management. These tools help CCB to adopt scientific pricing. Based on a portfolio risk management system, calculations of risk-adjusted return on capital at both portfolio and single transaction levels are possible.
Enhancement of risk management capabilities
CCB has also strengthened its key processes. Risk mitigation capabilities were bolstered by the development of a collateral management system that raised valuation standards. Baseline management of credit extension was intensified by the integration of overseas branches and subsidiaries into the unified risk management system on a bank-wide basis. CCB took the lead among major domestic banks to develop a provisioning system for country risks. Unified control of on- and off-balance sheet credit risk exposure was strengthened and industry limit management was strictly implemented. Sound data foundations and management platforms were set up to mitigate market risk. Management of operational risks was escalated continuously by improving key risk indicators and a data bank for operational risk losses. Progress in developing a business continuity system and improvements in CCB's emergency response systems have ensured its business continuity management is the most advanced in the domestic banking sector.
Basic management elevated to new levels
During 2011, CCB continued to exert efforts to implement the New Basel Capital Accord. It has transformed 20 existing systems and constructed six new systems. Its portfolio risk management system, financial market business risk management system and operational risk management information system have been launched successively, while an integrated platform for risk management on a bank-wide basis was set up. Establishing a data quality control mechanism and developing a system for data management on operational risk losses has substantially upgraded its fundamental data management. This has provided a solid foundation for CCB's long-term sustainable development.

What a day ! We drove 90mins to Lac Aiguebelette and had a wonderful day. By chance we were able to wander into the athletes area and cruised around all their tents. Just like a Sunday picnic, except, stationery bikes, kids paddling pools and rowing boats everywhere. We tracked down the Kiwi's and quickly took a photo and moved on. We watched the activity on the athlete's screen, went and saw the boats being weighed and really felt part of the action. ...

We opted out of going into the grotto, and set off on the Balcon Sud hike which goes from there along the side of the hills to end at the Plan du midi cable car station.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of a CrediCampo project to help rural farmers living in extreme poverty plant basic grains to feed their families. Excess product is sold on the local market. These loans are smaller than the typical loans offered by this field partner, and guarantee requirements are also reduced. Individuals who receive this type of loan also get access to technical assistance, information on good environmental practices and increased access to farm inputs like fertilizer. This is considered a high risk loan due to the population and loan purpose, and CrediCampo is one of the very few institutions in El Salvador willing to working with these farmers.
About CrediCampoThis loan is administered by CrediCampo, a Kiva Field Partner in El Salvador. CrediCampo seeks to improve the lives of rural communities and their families in areas including health, education, basic services, and infrastructure. Through its Community Development Unit, CrediCampo provides scholarships, leadership development training, and financial education programs for families in rural areas. CrediCampo's work is crucial in addressing the issue of poverty in El Salvador. Based on 2009 estimates, 37.8% of the population lives below the poverty line.

Collier County museum celebrates national day of recognition
NAPLES - As part of the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum Day on Saturday, Collier County Museum pulled out all the stops to give visitors a taste of Southwest Florida's rich past.
Admission to the Collier County Museum is always free to the public, but to qualify for the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum Day celebration, participating museums had to waive their admittance fees for the day.
To do their part in honoring the fourth annual National Museum Day, Collier County Museum offered free guided tours, free sandwiches courtesy of Chick-fil-A, a magic show and a screening of Gary Cooper's film "Distant Drums," which was produced more than 50 years ago in the Florida Everglades.
"One visitor came all the way from Miami today," museum Director Ron Jamro said. "Events like this bring in a whole new crowd of visitors and we're always delighted to see first-time families here as well.
The Collier County Museum welcomes kids by the busload from Collier County schools. Collier County students usually learn about the county's history in the fourth grade.
Jamro said they meet far more students than parents, and was delighted that the National Museum Day celebration was a family affair.
"We don't always get to see parents since so many children come to us by way of school trips," Jamro said. "When we do see parents with their kids, it's usually the kids who are guiding parents through our exhibits and reciting what they learned to their parents and grandparents. Today we had a lot of parents bring their children."
Historical exhibits are on display throughout 5 acres of museum grounds. Prior to meandering through the grounds, visitors can stroll through the exhibition hall. The exhibition hall features artifact displays, audio-visual programs and three-dimensional dioramas on everything from Florida's geological history to saber tooth cats, mastodons, and more prehistoric animals.
One of the most popular exhibits at the museum is the series of life-size historical figures stationed throughout the exhibit hall. The figures include a Spanish conquistador, Seminole warrior, U.S. Army solider from the Seminole wars, pioneer boy and World War II fighter pilot. Dressing these figures to be historically accurate is a huge effort that produces likenesses of startling detail.
Case in point: Collier County Museum's pioneer housewife, whose appearance was created from a Whidden family photo. According to museum staff, the pioneer lady bears such a striking resemblance to Grandmother Whidden, family members who visited the museum were spooked by the similarity.
Jamro encourages museum visitors not to miss the 50s-60s era Naples hotel visitor, often overlooked in the shadow of her formidable companions, but whose exhibit required just as much effort to create.
Museum visitors can also see a Seminole Indian village, complete with palm-thatched chickees gifted to the Museum by the Seminole Tribe of Florida and a Seminole war fort, Calusa Camp and the museum of the Everglades exhibit called "Everglades Forever and Graphic Chronicles of a Magical Journey through the Everglades" by Edwin Villasmil and Elba Martinez.
Museum volunteers, including Volunteer Coordinator Mary Margaret Gruszka, hope events like National Museum Day will impart the value of history to people of all ages.
"Special events like National Museum day entice new people to get acquainted with our local history and introduce existing residents to our museum," Gruszka said.

Stationery contest
Silver package purchased for CA$299
(including 99designs fees)
Interior design
Obviously something stylish, clean, no logo, just a design element perhaps something along the line of Paul Smith stripes. The design element should not overpower the card, perhaps a line at the top, bottom or side. Type should be clean, but with a bit of an edge, easy to read. Colours could be black, taupe, dark blue, bronze. A hit of dark red never hurts either. My style is pretty eclectic but not trendy.
Guarantee your contest so that designers are certain a winner will be chosen and receive prize money.
This will take away your ability to get a refund, but typically attracts double the entries and better designers.

Economy Hotel Is Planned On West Side by Schrager
By LISA W. FODERARO
Published: November 13, 1997
Ian Schrager, the Manhattan-based hotelier known for his ultracool but expensive brand of hospitality with hotels like the Royalton and Paramount, plans to convert the current home of WNET-TV, Channel 13, on West 58th Street into a hotel that he says will offer a more downscale version of cool.
Mr. Schrager and his partner in the hotel project, Northstar Capital, took control of the property last week after months of complicated negotiations involving WNET and the building's two other owners. The partnership paid $49 million for the 475,000-square-foot, 25-story property -- by far the largest of Mr. Schrager's three New York hotels.
Constructed in the 1920's as a women's residence with an emphasis on fitness, the building still has its original basketball court and swimming pool. Mr. Schrager said the 1,000-room hotel, at 356 West 58th Street, would retain that identity, becoming a ''modern Y.M.C.A., an urban spa in the middle of the city.''
And more like a Y.M.C.A., the rates will be for the budget-minded. Instead of the $155 to $330 a night for a double room at his other hotels in Manhattan, rooms in the new hotel will run about $75 a night.
''He wants to do the Old Navy equivalent of the Gap in the hotel business,'' said Arthur Adler, a partner in the lodging and gambling consulting group at the accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand. ''He wants to create cheap chic.''
The renovation will be designed by Philippe Starck, the French designer who transformed the interiors of the Royalton and Paramount Hotels into strangely beautiful and minimalist spaces as familiar to design-conscious New Yorkers as to the well-heeled hipsters who stay there.
The building, the former Henry Hudson Hotel, has been the headquarters of WNET since 1973. It owns the first nine floors of the building and St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center had owned the top half of the building. Most of those rooms had been rented out to college students in recent years by a nonprofit housing organization. There are also more than 100 permanent rent-stabilized residents in the building.
For its part, WNET will use its nearly $10 million profit from the sale to move its headquarters, and 400 employees, sometime next year to 450 West 33d Street, at 10th Avenue. The public television station signed a 21-year lease on Monday for 192,000 square feet of space on one and a half floors in the building, which also houses The Daily News.
WNET said it would switch its television operations over to digital technology, buying all new equipment. ''The lively real estate market for hotel space has provided a fortuitous opportunity for 13 at the very moment that we are facing the staggering costs of converting to digital technology,'' said William F. Baker, WNET's president.
The new office space will allow WNET to create state-of-the-art post-production rooms, while the building's roof will support a satellite antenna. ''In a city of skyscrapers, it's no easy matter to find a new home that satisfies our broadcast requirements,'' said Mr. Baker, who added that WNET still needed to raise $10 million for its new digital operation.
The hotel deal came about after St. Luke's, which owned the 11th through 24th floors, signed a contract for $24.4 million to sell its space -- technically a single condominium unit -- to an outside developer. St. Luke's purchased those floors in the 1980's with the intention of housing nurses and doctors, but in recent years had rented the space to Educational Housing Services.
But WNET, which wanted to move anyway, had the right of first refusal on the St. Luke's space. Philip R. Weiss, a managing director with the Insignia/Edward S. Gordon Company, a real estate brokerage, said yesterday that he had approached Mr. Schrager this spring about the building. Mr. Schrager agreed to put up the money so that WNET could buy out St. Luke's. The station, in turn, immediately ''flipped'' the newly acquired upper floors to Mr. Schrager. And last Wednesday, he signed a contract with WNET to purchase its own floors for $25 million.
Like St. Luke's, WNET had bought its floors from Irving Schatz, a real estate investor, after renting from him for years. Mr. Schatz, in fact, still owns part of the ground floor along West 57th Street where D'Agostino is a tenant, as well as the 10th floor and the penthouse floor.
According to Mr. Weiss, Mr. Schatz has agreed to rent the 10th floor to Mr. Schrager on a long-term basis but will hold onto the ground floor. Attempts to reach Mr. Schatz by telephone were unsuccessful.
Mr. Schrager said he would ''renovate around'' the rent-stabilized tenants. He will offer to buy out some tenants, he said, while the others will remain. ''It's a fact of life that when you buy a building in New York City, you're going to have rent-stabilized tenants,'' he said.
