Ray was wonderful. His eye for photaghraphy is awesome. Tara and both were very impressed with the artistic quality of his samples and then with the shots he took at our wedding.
We would recommend Ray to anyone planning their wedding. He was very flexible and responsive ot our ideas and desires, meeting all of our needs throughout the process. We had our wedding in the US Air Force Academy Chapel where they restrict the amount of time we could be in the facilities. Ray was vry efficient in getting the shots we wanted along with the various shots he thought best before we had to leave the Chapel. Had we been allowed more time in the chapel we would have so many more wonderful pictures.
Hire Ray and enjoy his professional and personal treatment.
God Bless,
Rick & Tara Webster
Ray provided very professional photography at great prices. I was very happy with the photos, and was impressed by some great shots that he took that I was totally unaware of. I would definitely recommend using him.
Ray was an awesome photographer. I would recommend him to anyone who is getting married and wants there pictures to be in the moment/action pictures. He really captured our wedding day in his camera and was able to display our day in an amazing storybook/coffee table book. He designed the entire layout of the book, and in a timely manner. I feel in love with the book and made very few changes. Ray was very easy to get along with and laid back. You can tell he really enjoys taking pictures!!! If you are looking for a great photographer, you cant go wrong with Ray of Life Long Photography.
Thanks again Ray!!! We loved our wedding day and we were so glad you were able to capture every moment for us!

Travis Baker | Road Warrior Don't Worry, State Won't Charge You for a Souped-Up Engine
The in basket: John Holbrook recently forwarded me (and about two dozen other people) an e-mail warning of a bill before the Legislature proposing steep additional license-tab fees. The fees would be based on the size of a vehicle's engine.
The additional fee, the e-mail said, would range from nothing for vehicles with engines of 1.9 liters (115.9 cubic inches) or smaller to $600 for those 8 liters (488.2 cubic inches) or larger.
It was one of those e-mails that hang around in cyberspace and crop up occasionally to alarm the populace. The 2008 Legislature already rejected the bill (Senate Bill 6900).
I wondered if its sponsors would take another run at it in 2009.
The out basket: Absolutely not, said a staffer for prime sponsor Sen. Rodney Tom, from the east side of Lake Washington. The staffer said Tom wrote a letter to constituents about the subject Dec. 8.
The letter says Tom never intended the bill to pass. He said the purpose of SB 6900 was "to merely start an important conversation we as a society need to have regarding how we can reduce our adverse environment impacts, while reducing our dependence on foreign oil from an unstable region.
"My frustration stems from the auto companies' fixation on every car going zero to 60 in under 5 seconds," he continued. "There are a ton of clean burning diesels in Europe that are getting 50+ MPG. The U.S. auto manufacturers are locked into yesterday's mentality where they can make $10,000 off every SUV sold."
The Big Three's current travails seem not to have modified Tom's position.
"All that said," he concluded, "there was never any intention of actually advancing SB 6900, which has stimulated the kind of important conversation that I had hoped for."

Three blocks from the turmoil near Boylston Street, Jody Ogletree was glued to the television. Not more than 15 minutes before, he was making the 2½ block trek back to the Park Plaza Hotel from the finish line at the Boston Marathon.
Its pretty much chaos and pandemonium, said Ogletree, who was heeding the caution of officials and remaining in his hotel around 4:30 p.m. Monday. Theres a lot of people just hanging around the lobby.
Ogletree said he didnt witness the explosions but talked with witnesses up and down the floors of his hotel.
An hour later, Ogletree had ventured outside, still having to resort to speaking loudly just to be heard over the din of law enforcement and helicopters. They have about a 15-block radius blocked off around (the finish line), he said.

I started out as a mother's helper at the age of 11. At the age of 13, I became a babysitter caring for a few children in my neighborhood. By high school, my name had been passed around and I was working after school and on the weekends. I have experience caring for multiples and also children ranging from newborn up to 14 years old. I take pride in my work and am a responsible and hard-working person. I am very patient and great at multitasking. I believe in foremost caring for the children, looking out for their well-being, teaching them manners and educating them according to their age. I love playing games, doing activities outside, having arts and crafts time and reading as to the children.

Bill Tanner of Jackson, a native of Smith County, started hunting 88 years ago, when he was 8. Now 96, Tanner, who can make sweet music with a box call (above), has already gotten his three-gobbler limit with three weeks left in the season. The photo below is from his turkey hunting photo album, with one of the birds he took to fill his 2011 limit.

Like most avid hunters, Bill Tanner of Jackson started when he was very young.
"I was 8," he said Friday, "and my dad let me take a .410 shotgun and hunt squirrel in a small swamp in Smith County about a mile wide and a few miles long."
Tanner speaks of those days like they were last week, and not 88 years ago. ...

It's important to be familiar with your go-to hospital when a family or friend or yourself isn't feeling well or has an emergency. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control released a report that stated one in twenty-five patients who are admitted to a hospital develop a hospital-acquired infection. Most people go to the hospital to avoid further sickness, but this cannot be guaranteed. TIME released an article containing information that Consumer Reports released reports on safety and other health... Read More

So you're interested in time travel. Think you can just strap a flux capacitor to your back, get struck by lightning, and become a knight of King Arthur's court before suppertime? Think again.
Time travel is no simple endeavor. Just because you have plutonium, a sweet car from the 1980s and the blessing of your local mad scientist doesn't mean you're ready for what awaits you on the other side of a wormhole (like hungry dinosaurs and probe-happy aliens). Time travel is 98 percent preparation, 1 percent luck, and around 53 percent screaming and running like a scared child*.
So before you go flinging yourself into the waiting jaws of grizzly molecular-decomposition death, consider the following safety tips, a small sampling of what's on offer in the thing you really need to survive your adventures in trans-temporal relocation: So You Created a Wormhole: The Time Traveler's Guide to Time Travel [Berkley Books, $14.99]**. These tips constitute a few of the most important things you should be thinking about before and during your various time travel endeavors, and may well save your life (but probably not), as well as the lives of all the hapless billions you endanger with your wanton disregard for the laws of physics (but probably not).
*Note: Percentages not based on fact.
**Note: Must buy book to live.
Each time machine model has its benefits and risks, so choose wisely. Some things to keep in mind as you dodge probing questions about your personal life from the sleazy used time machine salesman: Skin - Do you want to keep yours? Any open-air models, like giant hamster balls and Sebring convertibles affixed with flux capacitors, tend to result in melted skin. The idea here is to not BBQ yourself. Direction - Which way are you traveling? This matters. For example, a spaceship with faster-than-light capabilities works pretty well for travel to the future, but typically requires you to fly through a black hole in order to travel to the past. Which can kill you. In fact, we're not even technically sure that getting sucked into a black hole in order to time travel even works. Style - The only thing more important than traveling through time is looking good doing it. Add some neon lights. Put some tassels on the handlebars. Consider some gull wing doors. You're a time traveler -- start acting like it.
Sure, you've got a time machine with a canopy, but the horrific sizzling of your own flesh is but the least of your worries. It's best to consider every place you might land whilst time traveling an extremely hostile environment -- you'll never know when you're going to wind up in a Mongolian Horde training camp circa 1208, a Plesiosaur's aquatic nest sometime during the mid-Cretaceous, or a Robot Armament Deployment Station during one of their "destroy all humans" tizzies. Always assume that if there's a food chain, you're at the bottom of it, and if there are any people, they will want you dead. Better safe than a forgotten, greasy smear on the underside of the timeline.
We know, the first thing you're likely thinking of doing as soon as you get that plutonium rod inserted into the correct flux receptacle is to go see if you can kill your own grandfather. Just to stick it to Stephen Hawking, probably. But -- well, don't, how about. Paradoxes are more than an academic exercise: they're a real threat to The Universe. Ever been imploded? Trust us, you don't want to be. And while we're not sure that universe-implosion is the definitive sentence for grandpappycide, we guarantee that none of us want to find out. Leave your grandfather (and father, and mother, and ancestors, and Hitler, while you're at it) alone. No sweeping paradox-creating historical changes.
Then again, even if you do take great pains to avoid killing everyone in your family tree, some changes to the future (and your present) might be unavoidable. Even minor actions can have vast and unforeseen consequences: Sneeze on a president? Cats go extinct. Eat a half-eaten sandwich you found? The South wins the Civil War. Step on a butterfly? Butterflies evolve to become the dominant species on Earth. (Seriously -- that last one happened to an intern we had. He had a helluva time fighting huge butterfly assassins while trying to go back and fix history.) The important thing here isn't necessarily to avoid any changes, but to avoid overt and major changes (see Tip 3). If changes to the timeline do occur, you at least need to make a concerted effort to set things right. Even then, though, things might not be perfect. Freckles are green now and human vacuum technology was invented in place of human flight technology. Well, at least you tried.
The only thing worse for The Universe than killing your ancestors is mating with them. Truthfully, you shouldn't be visiting your past at all. But if you somehow end up there and also end up running into your parents, it's easier than you think to disallow for your existence. And then, poof! Paradox. How could you disallow for your existence if you never existed? Trouble is, your mom or dad might be kind of hot. And you, being the debonair time traveling go-getter that you are, will undoubtedly be attractive, pocket protector or no. Certainly there's some kind of weird paternal Oedipus chemistry going on there; that does not make your sick thoughts and actions okay, perv. No inter-timeline love with your ancestors.
You should always know your destination and do your best to come prepared. In addition to So You Created A Wormhole: The Time Traveler's Guide To Time Travel (which you need to live), we heartily recommend a shotgun be in your time travel prep kit, as well as running shoes. You can't overestimate the usefulness of a pair of good running shoes when fleeing cavemen, Nazi soldiers or P.O.'d creatures of any ilk. But running away and/or shooting aren't always viable methods of dealing with local indigenous populations. In certain eras, you may have to extend the hand, half-chewed animal limb, or slimy alien tentacle of friendship. Sure, those various alien creatures of the late 2300s can be frightening at first, but do you really want to be the shotgun-wielding diplomatic incident that sets off a planet-eradicating laser aimed directly at Earth? Know when you're going and what to expect before you get there.
Gallivanting through the ages won't go unnoticed, and with your phenomenal powers of scientific understanding, you're going to acquire a few enemies that would love to use your technology for evil, rather than good. Also there's that whole robot uprising thing to deal with, not to mention first contact with aliens, Hitler, countless other crazies and the occasional caveperson who starts pushing flashy buttons at random. Not everyone throughout time is trustworthy: for example, we're pretty sure Ben Franklin stole our last Peppermint Paddy the other day. That guy's kind of a jerk. And that's to say nothing of the doubles, doppelgangers, and killer assassin droids that look just like famous bodybuilding champions who are constantly trying to murder that poor John Connor kid. He learned real fast that "checking in" on Facebook is really not such a great idea. Keep your head on a swivel.

Excess baggage savings with Czech airlines could ease cost of gap year travel
Czech Airlines has announced that travelers will be able to pre-pay any excess baggage online, which may be good news for hostel-staying backpackers.
Logging on to the airline's website in advance to pay for luggage beyond the amount allowed can offer savings of a third compared with the financial penalty incurred for being over the limit at check-in.
The Czech national carrier, which flies to 69 destinations in 41 countries, has also announced that it will be offering a pooling option, which will enable passengers flying together to combine their baggage allowance.
Petr Pistelak, Czech Airlines vice-president for marketing and product development, commented: "Only one of the two passengers needs to pre-pay the lowest weight band required and then they can distribute the excess weight among their bags as they need.
"After travel insurance, paying for an excess baggage allowance over the internet is another service that increases user comfort and brings savings to Czech Airlines passengers."
He added that the airline intends to include further facilities to ensure the service is convenient for passengers.

ESF's Avian Fuel Honored at Duck Race
Solar-powered fuel cell duck best represents company's mission
SYRACUSE - ESF's entry in the Community Wide Dialogue's Duck Race to End Racism received special honors during Saturday's race.
The ESF duck, Avian Fuel, was honored with Duck Best Representing the Company's Mission. Avian Fuel sported a solar-powered fuel cell car on his back. This is the third year ESF has received this award. It is the sixth year the ESF duck has not won.
Avian Fuel was engineered by Mark Storrings of ESF's Department of Environmental Resources and Forest Engineering. Storrings also designed the 2006 Sol-R-Duck, with its solar-powered quacking, and Sun-of-Sol-R-Duck in 2008 that sported a solar-powered LED screen, that scrolled the message, "SUNY-ESF … Improve Your World … End Racism." Both ducks received honors for "best representing the company's work."
This year's duck received its festive bubble motif design from Wendy Osborne, graphic designer and artist-in-residence in the Office of Communications. She took home "most finely crafted duck" honors for Envira Duck, the college's entry in the 2007 duck race.
The Duck Race to End Racism is an annual event that brings together all parts of the community for an afternoon of fun. Prizes are awarded to the sponsor of the duck that crosses the finish line first. In addition to the main attraction of the race, the day will include entertainment, information booths for community organizations, and free ice cream.

It's been more than seven years since local officials looked into constructing an arena in Marion County, but Marion County Judge/Executive David Daugherty is trying to gauge if there is any interest in revisiting the idea.
Daugherty and Betty Bradshaw of the Marion County Fair Board attended Monday's meeting of the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission to discuss the idea.
One day after a letter to the editor criticized Marion County Public Schools for its financial balance following a recent vote to increase the district's tax rate, the Marion County Board of Education took more time than usual discussing its monthly financial report.
Lisa Caldwell, the district's central finance officer, explained at the Sept. 10 board meeting that the district had a balance of $10.8 million at the end of August. This was down from $12.3 million at the end of July.
Charleigh Browning, 10, of Lebanon continues to recover from injuries she received when the golf cart she was driving overturned on Saturday, Sept. 5.
She sustained trauma to her face, including a broken nose and broken tooth, as well as trauma to both of her legs and feet, according to her mother, Holly.
Friday, Charleigh was able to return home after being treated at Ephraim McDowell Regional Center under the care of Dr. Christopher Marek, a plastic surgeon in Danville, who has been treating burns Charleigh received from road rash.
Around 3 p.m. Thursday, Leanna Stewart was preparing the 21st Century Community Learning Center for the arrival of dozens of students. She set out writing utensils and apples, cereal bars and milk to provide a snack for the children who would be arriving after school let out for the day.
Stewart is the learning center's new director this year, but she met many of the students in the program as an assistant in Marion County's migrant service program during the last two years. When the director's position came open, she saw it as an opportunity.

Kentucky Utilities wants its customers to be aware of a scam in which businesses are being asked to pay their bills over the phone.

Remember Me
This is Cicada Omega, the last of the Plague of Locust upon ya.
This is home made from the things YOU have thrown away.
This is the second coming of the old South.
And this WILL move you.
Cicada Omega, from the Land Between the Lakes, the Dark and Bloody ground of old Kaintuck.
So I say, GET UP! and hear the old country call'n. Hear the soul, gospel, and electrified, transcendental junk yard blues a crying.
And friends when I say junk... I am talking "oil-drum-gut bucket, electrified" Bass (see pics) played by a man with smoke'n fingers and a lost soul.
I'm talk'n a "resolectric" guitar made from a suitcase, and I'm talk'n about a percussionist that plays old car parts. Can you hear me?
This is Cicada Omega, southern harmony set a fire with voodoo rhythm sparked by the word of God. So STAND UP! and prepare the way. For this is a juke joint revival that you can shake your ass to.
This is Cicada Omega, the same group you have seen share the stage with others of the Great Tradition (like, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, The Legendary Shack Shakers, and Scott H. Biram... to name a few).
This is Cicada Omega, the Four Horseman from the blue moon state.
Cicada Omega, psychedelic snake handlers for a new age.
Cicada Omega, the whisky drinking, tongue tie'n, hard rock'n, rhythm and blues band from the hillsides of Kentucky.
Like I said before, my brothers, and sisters, this IS the real deal, so deal yourself in.
Can I get an Ah Men!

Marlin Gold arranges $15-million rights offering
2012-12-11 14:28 ET - News Release
Mr. John Brownlie reports
Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. has filed a preliminary long-form prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario in connection with a proposed $15-million rights offering, with proceeds raised being used to commence construction at the La Trinidad project in Mexico, for exploration and development of its mineral properties, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Each holder of record of Marlin Gold common shares, as of a record date to be announced, will receive one right for each common share held. Each right will entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for additional common shares of Marlin Gold. The subscription ratio, record date and expiry date for the rights offering will be determined at the time of filing of the final long-form prospectus. To subscribe for common shares, a completed rights certificate, together with payment in full of the subscription price for each common share subscribed for, must be received by the subscription agent for the rights offering, Computershare Investor Services Inc., prior to the expiry date.
The rights offering is being made to holders of common shares in the qualifying jurisdictions. Rights certificates will not be mailed to holders of common shares resident outside of the qualifying jurisdictions or outside of Canada.
"With the completion of this rights offering, the $6-million of cash on hand and the continuing support of our largest shareholder, Marlin Gold is sufficiently funded to begin construction at the La Trinidad project. We expect a 10-month construction schedule beginning immediately after the new year, with the goal of producing gold in early 2014," said John Brownlie, chief executive officer of Marlin Gold.
In connection with the rights offering, Marlin Gold also announced that it has entered into a standby commitment agreement with its largest shareholders, Wexford Spectrum Trading Ltd. and Wexford Catalyst Trading Ltd., private investment funds managed by Wexford Capital LP. Pursuant to the standby agreement, the Wexford funds will purchase any common shares offered that are not otherwise purchased under the rights offering. The Wexford funds will not collect a fee for backstopping this rights offering.
The completion of the rights offering is conditional upon receipt of regulatory approvals, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
We seek Safe Harbor.

Auto Sector Is US 'Backbone'
Leaders of the auto industry, labour unions and government officials held what they billed an unprecedented meeting to discuss ways of bolstering the embattled US economy after last week's airborne attacks in New York and Washington.
Calling the auto sector 'a backbone of our economy', US Labour Secretary Elaine Chao and Commerce Secretary Don Evans said they had called the meeting to talk about boosting consumer confidence.
'The terrorist attack on September 11 was a direct attack against America's economic might,' Ms Chao said. 'America will not bow before terrible enemies who have struck the heart of America's vitality by destroying the World Trade Centre.'
The meeting included the heads of Detroit's big three car makers, along with major parts suppliers and their largest unions. United Auto Workers President Stephen Yokich said he had never seen such a gathering before.
'This isn't just about the auto industry,' Mr Yokich said. 'It's about the tragedy we had in our country. Pulling together as management and labor, on behalf of all Americans. We're here to see what we can do.'
Mr Evans said President George W. Bush was working with Congress to explore ways of stimulating the economy in the aftermath of last week's attacks, in which hijacked airliners hit the Pentagon and destroyed New York's World Trade Center and left nearly 6,000 people missing or dead.
While car makers and car parts suppliers have not suffered the kind of widespread layoffs and losses that airlines have since the disaster, auto stocks have plunged in recent days over concerns that higher unemployment and weakening consumer confidence would cut sales of new cars and trucks.
New vehicle sales account for one-fifth of retail sales in the United States and one out of seven US jobs is in auto manufacturing or related industries.
One credit rating agency said on Tuesday that the attacks increased the likelihood it would downgrade the debt ratings of General Motors, Ford and DaimlerChrysler. …

Inspired by the threads about the history of Photography I though I'd share my enthusiasm for an old fella who some of you may know of. Permit me a little bit of a shaggy dog story but hopefully it will illustrate why this guy was a 'cool dude'
His name is the Abū Alī al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥasan ibn al-Haytham. (he gets called al-Haytham) He's long dead.
Well, 1000 years ago, he was considered pretty good at mathematics. So good, he was hired to predict the seemingly random episodes of the flooding of the Nile in Egypt, and to devise a way of stemming the flood when it next occurred. He built some clever structures that still exist today, which measured the height of the river, and through mathematical modeling could predict next time it would flood.
Sadly, the boss wasn't happy with that and asked him to actually stop the next flood. After trying to build a dam at Aswan (now known to be quite a good place to build a dam) he realised it was impossible and pretended to go mad to get out of the deal (this sounds bad now, but relative to what happened at the time to sane people reneging on a deal, was the best way out)
So our pal Al-Haytham was under house arrest from 1011 until his imprisoner's death 10 years later. This was before the Normans conquered England. In fact they had only just become Normans after invading France, lions still roamed Europe, and Spain was still Muslim, hundreds of years away from dominating the world with Catholicism and destroying Science with the Inquisition and the Dark Ages.
Anyway, he had some great ideas about optics. He proved that light travels in straight lines. He also made the first Camera Obscura. On the way, he just happened to define the Scientific Method
I would heartily encourage everyone to have a little read of what this fella did for Maths, Physics and Optics. And (if you'll forgive me for a little bit of politicising) think about where in the world he came from: Basra, Iraq.
He's certainly my photographic hero.
(for the record I'm not promoting this as a cultural/religious thing: I'm an athiest born as a Scottish Presbyterian)

1. I have had good luck basing my exposure in ISO 1. I assume you are exposing the plates outside in sunlight or bright shade. Remember the plates require UV light to expose.
2. I get best results pouring the developer on the plate in the same manner as the collodion. You don't need much developer--half a shot glass. I time the developer--15 seconds I think (I'd have to check my notes).
3. Have you viewed your plates against a black background? Just put them on a black cloth and see how they look. Glass plates look thin compared to negatives.

If Surak's peace and serenity-through-logic was motivated by a desire to avoid war, then the psychic resonator was just another weapon that needed to be defeated through pacifism.

I doubt the wholesale reformation of a society was motivated by the desire to disable just
weapon. I can believe it would be due to the desire to disable
weapons, though.
I would buy that more easily, were the symbol for peace not a part of the resonator itself. But the fact that the peace symbol was on it suggests to me that the intention was that the resonator had a special role in spreading peace, more so than all the other non-psionic weapons. The three symbols on the resonator itself summarize both the cultural dilemma in Surok's time and the resolution: war, death, and peace.

Lagwagon A Feedback Of Truckstop Poetry Lyrics
Last updated: 04/07/2009 11:00:00 AM
Sponsored LinksI pulled over for a feedbag.
I thought of you, it wasn't bad.
You had direction and drive,
and you arrived at closing time, to find
they had wiped down the bar.
And they built you a bed,
laid your head to rest and left you tried and true again.
You may be proud, man, as it was always wishful thought.
I would imagine you off, maybe I'd see you again.
We could sit down and have a moment
and talk about your suicide.
And I would put away your death
if you could put away the dope.
And all our enemies,
well there's no time for you to know them
any crooked mind disease,
but hopeless fools, they will be missing you.
I pulled over for nostalgia.
I thought of suffering the joke.
No one delivered the punchline,
no resolution is here.
I couldn't sharpen the view,
and it's still drawn to you.
Waiting on the new but then this story has no end
as we continue driving.

Great for dyed hair
by Anonymous
on 07/28/2015
Love this product! I had my hair dyed with dark red, and this conditioner keeps the color very well into 3 months later. My hair still has the original dark red color and the hair doesn't feel damaged at all. It is also great as a base to blend Manic Panic hair color to tone your hair further if you prefer to keep the color longer.

It gives my hair so much texture and moisture, so smooth, my hair dresser even notice the difference right away. I can't stop touching and feel it. :)
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Aloe barbadensis leaf juice contains natural conditioners that make hair soft, healthy and strong. Aloe contains amino acids, which can penetrate and nourish the hair, while also depositing a protective film on the hair that helps to retain moisture, body, shine and smoothness. Sulfur molecules found in cysteine bind to sulfur molecules in keratin (primary protein found in hair), which helps to strengthen and support hair quality.
Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract
Also known as gotu kola and Indian pennywort, Centella asiatica is a vine-like plant native to India and Southeast Asia and has been used as a part of the Ayurvedic culture for thousands of years. Centella asiatica has been reported to support normal microcirculation and also has soothing benefits.
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
Hydrolyzed wheat protein is a moisturizing and conditioning protein derived from whole wheat. It increases the hair's ability to retain moisture, and impart shine and gloss to damaged and dull hair. Due to its low molecular weight, it easily penetrates the hair shaft, allowing it to attract and retain moisture, build body and reduce porosity, all of which improves hair manageability, luster and smoothness.
How do I use Tri-Protein Plus Deep Conditioner?
After shampooing, work a quarter-sized amount through your hair from root to tip. For particularly long hair, you may want to put a bit more on the ends of your hair. Let the conditioner sit on your hair for about five minutes before washing it out to obtain the highest level of moisture and smoothness.
What other Royal Spa products can I use with this product?
It's recommended that you use Royal Spa Chamomile Shampoo before using this product. Using the two together will promote the optimal level of health for your hair.
I have thin hair. Will the Tri-Protein Plus Deep Conditioner make my hair greasy?
If you use a smaller amount of conditioner, it will not weigh your hair down. You may also want to avoid applying the conditioner on the roots of your hair, as your scalp is what produces the oils that make your hair feel greasy.
Will this conditioner control frizz?
Yes. Royal Spa Tri-Protein Plus Conditioner is formulated with special ingredients that hydrate and pacify your hair. When your hair is hydrated, there will be fewer flyaways and less frizz.
Is this product tested on animals?
No. Royal Spa products are not tested on animals.
Is this product safe for use on children?
Is this product effective for curly hair?

Michael Narachi
Yeah, thanks for inviting us and thanks for your interest in Orexigen, and probably if you're interested in Orexigen you're interested in the obesity space. It's evolving rapidly over the last year or so, and I think the pace of new information and are we meeting or beating expectations is going to continue here over the next couple of years.
I'll be making forward-looking statements today, and if you don't mind I'll sit so I can use my glasses and see the screen. I won't try and read this – obviously lots of forward-looking statements. Things materially change in the future, and all of our documents are on file on our website and with the SEC.
In general, we have two late-stage obesity therapeutics. One's been reviewed by the FDA and we got a complete response that asked us to rule out cardiovascular risk. The other has completed Phase IIb. We raised the capital, we started our large cardiovascular outcome safety trial, and we're getting ready now to resubmit in the U.S. and submit in Europe and synchronize those approval processes so that we can then cascade into global approvals. We have a North American commercial partner in Takeda that's committed to heavy resourcing of a blockbuster primary care launch when the approval comes, and we're in the process of seeking a rest-of-the-world partner to commercialize Contrave. And our second product, Empatic, we have to make some strategic business decisions on how best to develop that, but our default position would be to put that into a rest-of-the-world partnership agreement and use some of those partner dollars to fund the development and probably not start Phase III development of that second product until rest-of-the-world commercialization partners are brought on board. We would expect that partnership to come together in the highest value-creating way for Orexigen around the same time that we have data from the cardiovascular outcomes trial.
Let's talk a little bit about the path to approval in the U.S., and the European authorities have also indicated an interest in seeing cardiovascular data prior to our approval, so I think the data from the light study interim analysis will be necessary to go forward with Contrave. So in our NDA review by the FDA, there was only a single approval deficiency. Everything else, the boxes were checked but they wanted us to rule out excess cardiovascular risk with a large outcomes trial that was a placebo controlled randomized trial. We took about nine months with the FDA, unfortunately, to clarify what ruling out excess risk meant, and that led to the design of the light study so it was confirmed through a formal dispute resolution process with the FDA, so we got a very high level commitment to the parameters that would guide approval from the Director of the Office of New Drugs. Dr. Don Jenkins led that reply to our appeal.
And then with the review division, we worked out a special protocol agreement in very short order so that we had top-to-bottom alignment at the FDA of exactly what it's going to take to drive this assessment of cardiovascular risk for an obesity therapeutic like Contrave, and that assessment essentially mirrored the diabetes guidance. We have to rule out a certain amount of risk to get approval with an interim analysis, and then you finish the study and rule out excess risk. And the risk that they're asking people to rule out, and now the Europeans have actually adopted very, very similar guidance for diabetes drugs, where what they're saying is the benefits that are presumed from lowering blood sugar for diabetes drugs or lowering weight with obesity drugs should outweigh at least 16 excess cardiovascular events – heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death – to get approved. And then it should rule out at least six excess events per thousand years of exposure, so it's a pretty tight hurdle for safety. We want to make sure there is not any more than 16 to get approved and 6 per thousand years of exposure, and the benefits clearly outweigh that in their mind. Now, that's a subject decision.
Then you translate that into the statistics for the studies on where you need to rule it out on a hazard ratio basis, and I'll go through that. But our trial essentially mirrored the diabetes guidance for absolute risk, the relative risk or the hazard ratio scores, then we need to rule out a doubling of risk for approval and a 40% increase in risk for the final analysis. An event-driven trial, so that means we need about 87 events to do that with high confidence for the interim analysis, and the trial is basically a very simple, straightforward study that's tracking heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death. That's the primary and secondary endpoint, and an intent to treat basis.

Family Bully: A Transatlantic Collaboration
Through Sunday: A dozen teenage playwrights from the Twin Cities and England jointly created the new play "Bully: A Transatlantic Collaboration," one of the more ambitious projects tackled by St. Paul's SteppingStone Theatre. Communicating through Skype and working with adult mentors, six local teens and six from the young playwright's program at Action Transport Theatre in Ellesmere Port, England, reflected on what it means to be bullied, witness bullying and even be a bully. The resulting multimedia show is told through the eyes of teenagers from both sides of the Atlantic. The local show closes this weekend and then opens the following week in England with an English cast. SteppingStone Theatre, 55 N. Victoria St., St. Paul; $15-$12; 651-225-9265 or steppingstonetheatre.org.

Art: Alec Soth: Until Now
Opens Friday: Alec Soth is an internationally renowned photographer who -- lucky for us -- calls Minnesota home. But Soth is more than a photographer. He's a storyteller who fearlessly follows whatever happens to spark his curiosity. His images have been seen in publications and in museums and galleries around the globe. This show at the Weinstein Gallery offers a retrospective of Soth's work through 35 photos he took between 1998-2014. The images come from his well-known projects including "Sleeping by the Mississippi" (2004), "NIAGARA" (2006), "Dog Days, Bogota" (2007), "Fashion Magazine: Paris/Minnesota" (2007), "Last Days of W." (2008), "Broken Manual" (2010) and "Siren" (2012) He will also debut a new photograph -- "Lake Calhoun" (2014) -- taken during our Minnesota winter and recently featured in the New York Times Magazine. Through May 10; Weinstein Gallery, 908 W. 46th St., Mpls.; free; Weinstein-gallery.com or 612-822-1745.

Dance: Axis Dance Company
Friday: Axis Dance Company challenges how you define "dance" and might change your view about "disability." For 27 years, the Oakland, Calif.-based troupe has been featuring some dancers who use wheelchairs and prostheses and some who don't, inspiring audiences to rethink how a dancer looks and moves while creating all sorts of imaginative movement. Major choreographers have created pieces for Axis, and this Ordway performance features pieces by Victoria Marks, Amy Seiwert and Marc Brew, who created the aggressive and powerful "Full of Words." 7:30 p.m.; Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, 345 Washington St., St. Paul; $48-$23; 651-224-4222 or Ordway.org.
-- Rob Hubbard
Friday-Saturday: After several years as an arts educator, Karen L. Charles decided to stop bidding all of her gifted dancers goodbye at graduation. She founded the dance company she had dreamed of heading since her days as a fellow with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. After a couple of performances a year this decade, her Threads Dance Project steps into a far brighter spotlight this weekend by collaborating with renowned vocal group Sweet Honey in the Rock, recently returned from performing at Nelson Mandela's memorial service in South Africa. The group provides the music (and dancing ASL interpretation) for a new piece by Charles. 7:30 p.m.; the Cowles Center, 528 Hennepin Ave. S., Mpls.; $29-$24; 612-206-3600 or thecowlescenter.org.

Classical: VocalEssence
Friday-Sunday: VocalEssence's founder and conductor Philip Brunelle is darn close to knighthood in Great Britain because of his advocacy for English music.This weekend, VocalEssence presents music by that country's most celebrated contemporary choral composer, John Rutter. While Rutter has had to withdraw from plans to be here because of illness, the choirs of VocalEssence will perform two concerts of his works, including his revered "Requiem." On Saturday morning, you can lift your voice as part of a community sing of Rutter's works (10 a.m., Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, 511 Groveland Ave., Mpls., $25 includes sheet music). Concerts: 8 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Sunday, Central Lutheran Church, 333 12th St. S., Mpls., $40-$20; 612-371-5656 or vocalessence.org.

Blues: Nick Moss Band
Friday: As a guitarist and vocalist, Chicago native Nick Moss has earned praise for his grasp of the nuances of "old-school" Chi-town blues. As he's developed as a songwriter and recording artist, Moss has been adding soul, gospel and rock elements to his sound, as reflected on his new CD "Time Ain't Free" (Bluebella Records). On vocals and second guitar, Moss has added Michael Ledbetter ---- a descendent of the iconic, early blues-singer Leadbelly. Ledbetter made his vocal recording debut on the new release. 6 p.m.; Wilebski's Blues Saloon, Wilebski's Blues Saloon, 1638 Rice St., St. Paul; $10; 651-651-331-0929 or wilebskiblues.com.

Theater: Dead Man's Cell Phone
Opening Friday: It's not an analogy: Sarah Ruhl's canted comedy is actually about a dead man's cell phone, the woman who decides to answer it, and the complicated path upon which that single decision sets her life. Previous local productions have shown the play to have snort-out-loud funny moments but also miscellaneous divertimenti. Director Jamil Jude will surf the waves of this play for TRP. Through April 13; Theatre in the Round Players, 245 Cedar Ave., Mpls.; $22; 612-333-3010 or theatreintheround.org.
-- Dominic P. Papatola
Theater: Abe Lincoln and Uncle Tom in the White House
Opens Friday: Playwright Carlyle Brown imagines Abraham Lincoln struggling with his decision to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, then conjures a visit to the president from Uncle Tom, the fictional character in Harriet Beecher Stowe's abolitionist novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The production in the Guthrie's intimate Dowling Studio is produced by Brown's company and features a couple of heavy hitters (Steve Hendrickson and James A. Williams, respectively) in the title roles. Through April 6; Guthrie Theater, 818 S. Second St., Mpls.; $30-$22; 612-377-2224 or guthrietheater.org.
-- Dominic P. Papatola
Theater: Cyrano
Opens Friday: J.C. Cutler stars as large-nosed, swashbuckling hero Edmond Rostand's classic tale of hidden identity, passion and poetry. Confident as is in all other's things, Cyrano's plus-sized schnozz prevents him from declaring his love for the beautiful and brainy Roxane, who is enamored of handsome Christian. Will true love prevail? Director Joe Chvala guides us to the answer. Through April 6; Park Square Theatre, 20 W. Seventh Place, St. Paul; $58-$19; 651-291-7005 or parksquaretheatre.org.

Comedy/Rock: The Up in Smoke Tour
Friday: Dave's not here, but two '70s icons of comedy and music will be. Stoner duo Cheech and Chong are on the road with California funk band War for an outing they have dubbed, appropriately, the Up in Smoke Tour. Richard "Cheech" Marin and Tommy Chong turned marijuana jokes into a mini-industry thanks to a series of successful records and films. They split in 1985, but reunited in the new century for a series of tours and last year's "Cheech and Chong's Animated Movie." War is best known for laid-back hits like "Spill the Wine," "Why Can't We Be Friends" and "Low Rider." Vocalist Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan is the only founding member in War today. 8 p.m.; Mystic Lake Casino, 2400 Mystic Lake Blvd., Prior Lake; $49; 952-496-6563 or MysticLake.com.
-- Ross Raihala
Pop: The Sing-Off Live Tour
Friday: While it's never earned the attention of "American Idol" or "The Voice," NBC's "The Sing-Off" has built a small, loyal audience by pitting a cappella groups against each other. Mankato's Home Free won last year's fourth season, earning $100,000 and a contract that led to their Columbia Records debut "Crazy Life." While Home Free is basking in the win, they have been supporting themselves as a group since 2007 and self-released five albums before appearing on the show. They headline this group tour that also features Season 4 favorites VoicePlay (Orlando, Fla.) and the Filharmonic (Los Angeles). 8 p.m.; Mill City Nights, 111 Fifth St. N., Mpls.; $49.50-$35; 888-929-7849 or MillCityNights.com.

Family: Como Conservatory Spring Flower Show
Opens Saturday: Get a jump on spring with hundreds of hydrangea Arizona, the centerpiece of this year's Spring Flower Show at the Como Conservatory.

Classical: Minnesota Orchestra
Saturday-Sunday: The Minnesota Orchestra has made impressive strides in returning to pre-lockout form in recent weeks, but a large leap took place when Sommerfest artistic director Andrew Litton took the podium earlier this month. This weekend, Litton returns to conduct a program full of richly textured, multi-hued orchestral fare and will act as soloist for Maurice Ravel's jazz-flavored Piano Concerto in G. Also on the all-20th-century program are Ravel's "Rapsodie espagnole" and a pair of marvelous evocations of the ocean, Benjamin Britten's "Four Sea Interludes" from his opera, "Peter Grimes," and Claude Debussy's "La Mer." 8 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday; Orchestra Hall, 1111 Nicollet Mall, Mpls.; $84-$22; 612-371-5656 or minnesotaorchestra.org.
-- Rob Hubbard
Family: Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music
Saturday: The halls are alive with the sound of people singing along with Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music." When a London theater showed the first "Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music" in 1999, it was such a hit that other venues in the U.K. and United States signed on to screen the classic as participatory cinema. For the third year, Ordway Center for Performing Arts invites you to dress up as your favorite goatherd or nun and join the costume parade. Lyrics are printed on the big screen and local performer Erin Schwab will host and cue the audience in all the fun hand waves and prop silliness. Note: The show is 3 hours and 50 minutes. 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.; Ordway Center for Performing Arts, 345 Washington St., St. Paul; $27-$17; 651-224-4222 or ordway.org.
-- Maja Beckstrom
Rock: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Saturday: The woman born Joan Marie Larkin was a teenager when she joined the Los Angeles-based all-female group the Runaways. She didn't get truly famous, though, until after that band dissolved and she released her cover of the Arrows' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" in 1982. That song, plus much support from then-new MTV, helped Jett land a series of smashes, including "Crimson and Clover," "Do You Wanna Touch Me" and "I Hate Myself for Loving You." "Hate Myself" turned out to be her last major chart hit, but Jett has continued to record and tour. Last year, Jett, 55, issued her 10th album, "Unvarnished," which opened with a song co-written by Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl. 8 p.m.; Treasure Island Casino, 5734 Sturgeon Lake Road, Welch; $45-$35; 877-849-1640 or TreasureIslandCasino.com.
-- Ross Raihala
Rock: Johnette Napolitano
Saturday: Singer/songwriter Johnette Napolitano formed the band that would become Concrete Blonde in the early '80s and, in 1990, scored a breakthrough hit with the song "Joey." That success proved to be too much, though. The group broke up in 1993, with Napolitano going on to pursue various solo projects and the occasional Concrete Blonde reunion, including one that visited town in December. She's back on her own, but this isn't a traditional tour. Instead, she's doing one-off gigs in cities she handpicked, and this one follows similar shows in New York, Los Angeles and Denver. It's a multi-media night meant to combine her music, art and life stories drawn from her book "Rough Mix." Local favorite Jenny Dalton opens. 8 p.m.; Cedar Cultural Center, 416 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls.; $25-$23; 612-338-2674 or TheCedar.org.
-- Ross Raihala
Sunday, March 23
Pop: Rick Springfield
Sunday: A generation remembers Rick Springfield as the good-looking crooner behind hits like "Jessie's Girl" and "I've Done Everything for You" and/or as hunky Dr. Noah Drake on "General Hospital." What those folks might not know is that Springfield, who will turn 64 this summer, has struggled with serious depression for much of his adult life. He addressed those issues -- as well as his multiple affairs, drug abuse and suicide attempt -- in a surprisingly honest manner in his 2010 autobiography, "Late, Late at Night," which Rolling Stone called one of the best music memoirs of all time. On his current tour, he's stripping things down musically and will share stories from his book and take questions from the audience. 7 p.m.; Pantages Theatre, 710 Hennepin Ave., Mpls.; $104-$53.50; 800-982-2787 or HennepinTheatreTrust.org.
-- Ross Raihala
Tuesday, March 25
Rock: Young the Giant
Tuesday: Young the Giant was born in 2004, when some of the band's members were still in high school. After several years spent getting their musical act together, YTG hit South by Southwest in 2009, placed their songs on various TV shows and landed a deal with Roadrunner Records (a label usually known for metal acts). Much like Foster the People, the band found followers in indie-rock and more mainstream circles thanks to their pair of gold-selling 2011 singles "My Body" and "Cough Syrup." Their newly released sophomore album, "Mind Over Matter," has already generated its own radio hit with "It's About Time." Australian singer/songwriter Vance Joy opens. 7 p.m.; First Avenue, 701 First Ave. N., Mpls.; $25; 612-332-1775 or First-Avenue.com.
-- Ross Raihala
Blues: Jimmie Vaughan
Tuesday: The older of the two guitar-slinging blues brothers from Dallas (the late Stevie Ray Vaughan was his younger brother), Jimmie Vaughan has been pursuing a semi-successful solo career since the early '90s. Before that, he was best-known as cofounder of the Austin-based Fabulous Thunderbirds. Vaughan has crafted a distinctive, less-is-more guitar style, and developed into a serviceable vocalist. But the real vocal star of his traveling show is fellow Texan Lou Ann Barton. Her bluesy, Wanda Jackson-influenced style caught the ear of producing great Jerry Wexler, who signed her to an early-'90s contract with Asylum Records. 7 p.m.; Dakota Jazz Club and Restaurant, 1010 Nicollet Ave., Mpls.; $52-$42; 612-332-1010 or dakotacooks.com.
-- Dan Emerson
Rock: The Neighbourhood
Tuesday: Youthful California alt-rock group the Neighbourhood formed just two years back, but they have experienced a wild run so far, kicking off with a major-label deal with Columbia Records for their 2013 debut "I Love You." Their single "Sweater Weather" cracked multiple radio formats, from adult contemporary to the Hot 100, while the video for "Afraid" turned heads thanks to lead singer Jesse Rutherford's clothes-free appearance in it. They return to town after opening for Imagine Dragons last fall. 7:30 p.m.; Skyway Theatre, 711 Hennepin Ave., Mpls.; $38.50-$23.50; 612-333-6100 or SkywayTheatre.com.
-- Ross Raihala
Children's theater: Balloonacy
Opens Tuesday: A solitary curmudgeon goes about his daily routines until a red balloon floats through an open window. Like the balloon in the classic French 1950s film, "Le Ballon Rouge," this balloon has a mind of its own, at turns tormenting and teasing until the man discovers a sense of playful joy and the two become friends. Entirely non-verbal, the premiere at the Children's Theatre Company is geared to preschoolers and up. It features stage and film actor Robert Dorfman, straight from playing Freud the Guthrie's "Freud's Last Session." The script is by Barry Kornhauser, who won an Twin Cities theater Ivey award in 2006 for bringing the world of silent film to the stage in "Reeling," first produced by the CTC in 2006. Through May 4. Children's Theatre Company, 2400 Third Ave. S., Mpls.; $21-$16; 612-874-0400 or childrenstheatre.org.

Wednesday, March 26
Folk: Claudia Schmidt
Wednesday: Michigan native Claudia Schmidt got her start in the 1970s Chicago folk scene, but established strong ties to the Twin Cities thanks to her frequent guest appearances on then-young "A Prairie Home Companion." St. Paul's Red House Records released five of her albums, from 1987's "Big Earful" through 2000's "Wings of Wonder." At the height of her success, she moved back to her home state and opened a bed-and-breakfast with her husband. Now, Red House has issued her comeback disc, "New Whirled Order." For this local CD-release show, she will be backed by jazz guitarist Dean Magraw and his band Eight Head. 7 p.m.; Dakota Jazz Club, 1010 Nicollet Ave., Mpls.; $25; 612-332-1010 or DakotaCooks.com.
-- Ross Raihala
Folk: James Vincent McMorrow
Wednesday: Initially a drummer, Irish singer/songwriter James Vincent McMorrow grew up listening to punk rock before he hit college and discovered more laid-back stuff like Sufjan Stevens and Band of Horses. He created his 2010 debut "Early in the Morning" alone, over a five-month stay in a seaside cottage. It earned rave reviews here and abroad, as well as numerous comparisons to Wisconsin's Justin "Bon Iver" Vernon. McMorrow took an entirely different approach to his new disc, "Post Tropical," by recording it in Texas and adding electric guitar, synthesizers and programmed beats. Canadian vocalist Aidan Knight opens this sold-out show. 7:30 p.m.; Cedar Cultural Center, 416 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls.; sold out; 612-338-2674 or TheCedar.org.
-- Ross Raihala
Thursday, March 27
Comedy: Amy Schumer
Thursday: From being a finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2007 to having her own sketch show on Comedy Central, Amy Schumer isn't afraid of being raunchy and real while serving up comedy that hits a nerve. Whether she's talking about a one-night stand or doing a sketch about how women are reluctant to take compliments, Schumer has an insight into female experiences that are at times so spot-on they will make you squirm. Before the second season of her popular Comedy Central show "Inside Amy Schumer" debuts on April 1, Schumer's making at stop at the Orpheum with her "Back Door Tour." 8 p.m.; Orpheum Theatre, 910 Hennepin Ave., Mpls.; $37.50-$45; ticketmaster.com.
-- Amy Carlson Gustafson
Thursday: Missouri native David Nail signed his first record deal a dozen years ago, scored a minor hit with his debut single "Memphis" and then watched from the sidelines as his label decided not to release his first album. Five years later, he landed another contract and this time, it produced an album ("I'm About to Come Alive") and the gold-selling single "Red Light." His 2011 sophomore disc, "The Sound of a Million Dreams," produced his first chart-topper with "Let it Rain," a duet with Sarah Buxton. He's back on the road with his third effort, "I'm a Fire." The first single, "Whatever She's Got," has already topped 1 million in paid downloads and stands as his biggest success. Newcomer Cale Dodds opens. 8 p.m.; Mill City Nights, 111 Fifth St. N., Mpls.; $25-$22; 888-929-7849 or MillCityNights.com.
-- Ross Raihala
Rock: Drive-By Truckers
Thursday: Long adored by lovers of old-fashioned Southern rock, Georgia's Drive-By Truckers have slowly picked up new fans from outside of the genre, thanks to heavy touring (including a high-profile stint opening for Tom Petty) and playing an endless slate of festivals (including 2011's Basilica Block Party). They are back in town to support "English Oceans," their first album in three years. Frontman Patterson Hood usually does most of the heavy lifting in the songwriting department, but this time around, guitarist Mike Cooley penned six of the 13 songs, much to the delight of longtime fans. Pacific Northwest indie rockers Blitzen Trapper, who often fill First Avenue on their own, open the show. 7 p.m.; First Avenue, 701 First Ave. N., Mpls.; $25-$22; 612-332-1775 or First-Avenue.com.
-- Ross Raihala
Classical: Minnesota Orchestra
Thursday through March 29: Last fall, the man who helped bring the Minnesota Orchestra to unprecedented heights, music director Osmo Vanska, resigned a year into a management lockout and said goodbye at a pair of grief-soaked Ted Mann Concert Hall performances. The musicians he conducted that night have since reached a contract settlement, but Vanska had already agreed to conduct them in the Jean Sibelius symphonies (Nos. 1 and 4) for which they recently received the "Best Orchestral Performance" Grammy. So management asked him to keep that date and make his first appearances at the newly renovated Orchestra Hall in three very highly anticipated concerts. 11 a.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. March 28 and 29; Orchestra Hall, 1111 Nicollet Mall, Mpls.; $84-$22; 612-371-5656 or minnesotaorchestra.org.

Grand Canyon, Las Vegas
12 Reviews
12 Reviews
Here we are loading onto this 20 passenger plane for our 30 minute ride over Hoover Dam to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The airport at the Canyon is a dirt strip on a working cattle ranch where you spend about 6 hours touring the ranch and having lunch after traveling by van or ATV to the Canyon edge for views from the North Rim. Lots of fun and great help from the people working at the ranch.
When you plan to go to Las Vegas, also plan to side trip to the Grand Canyon. You are already close to the most beautiful rock formation on earth anyway.
Make sure to spend the night over there if you don't feel like driving back to Las Vegas. And, experience the most spectacular sun rise! As if the whole canyon is on fire!
Bring a jacket no matter what because it gets really cold in the morning at the Grand Canyon.
The entrance fee is $25.00 and the pass is good for seven days. The skywalk fee is different because this is maintained by the local Indian community.
The Grand Canyon is a bit of a must see if you want some natural beauty after the bright lights of Vegas. We took a plane to the canyon, a helicopter down into it, a boat along the Colorado river and then a coach to a viewpoint where we ate lunch hosted by native americans over looking the splendour of the canyon. If you want to know more check out my Grand Canyon tips page!
Helicopter tours are very expensive way to go around tour areas and going to the grand canyon via a helicopter tour can really be very expensive with prices ranging from $ 400 per person up to $ 750 per person depending on the type of tour and the time of the helicopter tour you want. A simple las vegas to grand canyon west rim tour with lunch at the bottom of the grand canyon with hualapai indians will cost $ 450 but with landing at the colorado river with white river rafting will cost $ 600 and if you add a las vegas flyover with limousine service tranfers to and from your hotel will cost $ 425 (exluding other fees like fuel surcharges). Tour can be half day or whole day too. The Grand Canyon is a very colorful, steep-sided gorge, carved by the Colorado River in the U.S. state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of conservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery. The canyon, created by the Colorado River over about 6 million years, is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 24 kilometers), and attains a depth of more than a mile (1.6 km).
I booked a tour online and they picked us up early in the morning. We went there by bus and it takes quite a while to get there, passing by the Hoover Dam. The sights over at the Grand Canyon are spectacular and if your budget allows, take the helicopter ride. The views you get cannot be paralleled by those on the ground and you get the thrill of a helicopter ride. I was lucky enough to get in on the co-pilot's seat. However, I wouldn't recommend it to those with a severe fear of heights. I have a mild fear and i was holding on to the camera with one hand and gripping tightly on to the edge of my seat with the other as the heli went over the edge and the land plunged to form the canyon.
It wouldn't do to miss the lookout points on the ground either. The view and feeling that you get is different and the 2 complement each other.
I only had time for a one day trip but for those with more time, I'd recommend staying over at the Grand Canyon. There are several companies online advertise full day trips that start from the Grand Canyon rather than Vegas. These trips include whitewater rafting along the Colorado River and heli rides. Or you can set out on one of the treks along the canyon on your own. Its just too bad I didn't have the time.
I wanted to do something different in Vegas besides the usual gambling, partying, shopping, drinking...etc.. So I called one of those tours companies and booked us on a small plane that took us to the Grand Canyon. I had always wanted to go there but hadnt. We got picked up at our hotel in theearly morning hours and were taken to the airport. From there we hoped on a small aircraft and we were off. In the plane we got headphones so we can hear a narrated story of the Grand Canyon and alittle info on everything we were passing. We got to the Grand Canyon airport and went on by bus to the South Rim. It was a day long excurssion but totally worth the visit. Now I at least know that I would actually do the drive to the Grand Canyon, maybe go for a hike or something. It was totally worth it and I got alittle taste of what to expect.
Grand Canyon National Park is a natural wonder measuring one mile deep and about 280 miles long. The width varies from about one mile wide to about 18 miles wide.
The canyon was carved by the Colorado River, which winds through the canyon bottom. The Colorado drains water from seven states, however the Grand Canyon is entirely in northeastern Arizona. Although several other canyons have been carved along the river, this area is the most spectacular.
Many tours are available to take visitors around the canyon and to the bottom of the canyon. Several companies also offer flights over the canyon.
While you're in Las Vegas you're need to spend one day out to go and visit the Grand Canyon. See my travelogue and pics on the Grand Canyon its amazing.
Completely breathtaking as you fly over. Great way to see the Canyon. Helicopter is the way we went and enjoyed the entire day.
This is the end of the ATV and van trail. We stayed here to hike a while and take pictures of this National Park Area. That muddy stream of water is the mighty Colorado River.
The Grand Canyon shows Mother Nature at its best... You can only feel how small you are in the scheme of the natural world. This park is awesome!
This was the highlight of our trip to Vegas. We did the helicopter ride with breakfast at a nearby ranch.
The Canyon is truly breathtaking, for more details please visit our Travelogue.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The only hint Tennessee coach Butch Jones has offered about the status of the Volunteers' quarterback competition is that he isn't satisfied with the performance of each contender.
Senior Justin Worley and sophomores Joshua Dobbs and Nathan Peterman all struggled in the first week of training camp. That represents a major concern for a Tennessee program that ranked 111th among Football Bowl Subdivision teams in passing efficiency last season.
Accuracy and efficiency have been issues for all three quarterbacks. Jones said after Thursday's practice that "we're not playing winning football at that position right now."
Worley started seven games, Dobbs made four starts and Peterman had one start last year. The three of them combined to throw 17 interceptions with only 12 touchdown passes.
