Born David Keith McCallum, Jr. in Glasgow, Scotland on Sept. 19, 1933, he was the son of David McCallum, Sr., the famed principal violinist for numerous orchestras in the United Kingdom, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and cellist Dorothy Dorman. Both parents encouraged McCallum and his brother Iain, who later became a novelist, to pursue their chosen fields; for McCallum, this was initially the oboe, which he studied at the Royal Academy of Music. But when a performance from Shakespeare's "King John" at a local theater group yielded a positive response from its audience, he switched his focus to acting while keeping music as a secondary interest.

"… there is only one way to philosophy: to meet a problem, to see its beauty and fall in love with it; to get married to it, and to live with it happily, till death do ye part - unless you should meet another more fascinating problem, or unless indeed you should obtain a solution. But even if you do obtain a solution you may then discover to your delight, the existence of a whole family of enchanting though perhaps difficult problem children for whose welfare you may work, with a purpose to the end of your days."Karl Popper, Realism and the Aim of Science

The Department of Philosophy has lost one of its own, in the passing of Bobby Johnson from complications of Cystic Fibrosis. Bobby got his B.A. In Philosophy from UWF and went on to get his M.A. in Philosophy from Florida State University. He taught as an adjunct instructor for the UWF Department of Philosophy, and in his first semester he was a finalist for the SGA Teacher of the Year Award. He was a yoga and martial arts enthusiast, a serial lunch snatcher (stole my sushi whenever he could) and all around great guy. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family, loved ones, and friends. We will miss you, kiddo.

American Football: Meet the Offensive Players
In American football, you can substitute as many players as you want as long as all your team members will equal to eleven. That is why it is important for you to know which ones to have when your team is playing as the offense or the defense team. Gridiron is a rough sport. So being a two-way player is not only impractical but inefficient too. The offensive team is the set of players who will try to make a touchdown. And when they do, they can try to earn extra points using their special teams. If you are in this team you could be:
- Quarterback– He is considered to be the field general who briefs the team of the offensive strategy while they're in a huddle. The game ball begins once the quarterback receives the snap from the center player. Quarterbacks are assigned with the numbers 1-19.
- Running Back – The fastest players in the field which makes them very useful in a running play. However, due to this important role, he is more prone to injuries than any other player. That is why it is very important for the to find holes in the defense to avoid having knee injuries when they run into a defense line. They can be easily spotted with the numbers 20-49.
- Full Back – Most today's formations seldom use this player but he can be a great aid for a running back. He is speedier than them so he can be a substitute to run the ball and score. If not he can be a short receiver or take the block of the first linebackers.
- Center- Positioned between two offensive guards, this player will start the ball through a snap. He can also act as a team leader who can pull together or instruct the other players of the offensive line.
- Offensive Guards- They are two of the biggest team members who are to block running and passing plays and mainly to tackle the defense's quarterback.
- Offensive Tackle- These players can only handle the ball if they got it through a fumble. Otherwise, they can only guard or tackle speed rushers of the defenders. These players are numbered from 50-79.
- Wide Receiver- His role is to primarily catch the passes of the quarterback. There are two of them in common formations who position themselves at certain points in the field to make an opening for a pass. They can also act as blockers. However, most wide receivers plainly act as possession receivers, the one that catches the ball, or speed receivers the one that stretches the field coverage.
- Tight End- They are extra linemen who can be wide receivers by catching passes or act as blockers near the tackles. Tight ends are very useful substitutes for wide receivers during short-yardage.
Know your strengths if you plan to join the offensive team. Bear in mind that it is not only the quarterback that gets all the fame.

Ana Ivanovic is finding her form.
The sexy Serb is featured in a scrumptiously beautiful 6-page story for Vanity Fair Spain's May issue. NaturAna was photographed by photographer Perry Ogden while Andres Aguayo put pen to paper for the story.
I have to say, this is the BEST NaturAna has ever looked - hands down. She's absolutely stunning here, sexy yet shy, and seemingly more comfortable in her own skin. TO DIE.
Big hair + pageant gowns be damned.

WASHINGTON (JCHAYWARD.COM) - Do you have a hot date this Valentine's Day? Make sure your breath is Valentine's ready! Over 40 million Americans have chronic bad breath including men and women, but 90% of cases are curable!
Owner of Aesthetics Dental Spa in Vienna, Va., Dr. Naini, joined JC Hayward on Wednesday to provide tips to on keeping your breath fresh and mouth clean in 2013.
A majority of Americans have bad breath at some point in the day, but many don't realize it or understand its causes.
How do you know if you have bad breath?
1. Use a spoon to scrape the white stuff off of the very back portion of your tongue-now smell it!
2. Blowing your breath in someones face and hoping they will tell you the truth!
Causes of bad breath:
1. Poor oral hygiene
2. Tobacco use. If you smoke, quit. Tobacco use is a guarantee of bad breath.
3. What you eat. Certain foods, such as garlic, contribute to bad breath.
4. Dry mouth. If your mouth is extremely dry, there is not enough saliva to wash away excess food particles and bacteria, which can cause an unpleasant smell.
5. Infections/periodontal disease: Bad breath that seems to have no other cause may indicate an infection elsewhere in the body or in the mouth.
6. Tongue bacteria. Bacterial growth on the tongue accounts for 80-90% of all cases of mouth related bad breath.
How to make your breath fresh:
1. Practice good oral Hygiene. Brush twice a day/floss once a day/ Brush your tongue too!! Or use a tongue scraper. Replace your toothbrush every 2-3 months.
2. See your dentist regularly- He or she will be able to tell if periodontal disease or an infection is the cause of bad breath.
3. Stop smoking or using chewing tobacco.
4. Drink water/chew gum/sugarless mints...stimulates the production of saliva which helps wash away food and bacteria 5. Keep a log of the foods you eat or medications you take- take to your dentist to review
6. Use an antiseptic mouthwash that kills the germs that cause bad breath. Ask your dentist which product is best for you.

From the kitchen of Gloria Cameron
2 lbs. sm. new red-skinned potatoes
4 hard boiled eggs, sliced
2 stalks of celery, sliced
3/4 cups red onion, chopped
1 ½ cups Hellman's Real mayonnaise
½ cup Zesty Italian or Ceasar Italian Dressing
salt and pepper to taste
Put potatoes in a pot with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil gently 10 to 15 minutes until just tender when pierced. Drain.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, quarter them or cut in 1/4 inch slices. Add dressings, onion, celery and egg. Turn gently with a rubber spatula to mix and coat.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or until chilled. Sprinkle with parsley to serve.
Notes: Other dressing ideas!
Start with cooked sliced or diced potatoes, add your choice of chopped hard boiled eggs, onion, celery, pickle relish…
- Mix equal portions Miracle Whip or Mayo and sour cream, add chopped chives and bacon bits for a "baked potato salad".
- My favorite salad has one egg for every large potato, the dressing is 1 cup Miracle Whip, 1 Tblsp. prepared mustard, and my secret ingredient…3 Tblsp. of Western dressing! It's sweet, tangy and adds beautiful color. HAVE FUN!

Hey NV guys,
First year applying in NV, and not surprisingly, I didn't draw any big game tags. Since I didn't draw, I've been thinking it should give me ample opportunity to get my German Shorthair out and about. I'm currently in Las Vegas, but will be moving to Reno this summer. I got him out chasing some Gambel's quail last year down here in the desert and am really looking forward to getting my pup on some chukar; btw, I've never even shot a chukar before.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone on here also bird hunts. And if so, if they could give any suggestions on areas to look or even if anyone would wanna go chase around some birds some time.

Bishop Dorsey, who led Catholic Diocese of Orlando for 14 years, dies at 83
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 12:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 12:23 p.m.
Bishop Norbert M. Dorsey, the bishop of the Orlando Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church from 1990 to 2004, died late Thursday after a long battle with cancer. He was 83.
• Wake on Wednesday after 12:10 p.m. Mass at St. James Cathedral, 215 N. Orange Ave., Orlando. Prayer services at 3 and 5 p.m. Vigil at 7 p.m. with evening prayer followed by personal reflections.
• Funeral at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe, 8300 Vineland Ave., Orlando.
• Interment March 1 at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Springfield, Mass.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be sent to:
• Passionist Community Support Fund, Passionist Pastoral Center, 111 South Ridge Street, Suite 300, Rye Brook, NY 10573
• Bishop Dorsey Colloquium on Priestly Life and Ministry, Diocese of Orlando, P.O. Box 4905, Orlando, FL 32802-4905.
"During his episcopacy, the diocese grew from 216,000 to almost 400,000 Catholics," the diocese announced in a news release. The diocese covers Marion, Sumter, Orange, Seminole, Lake, Brevard, Osceola, Volusia and Polk counties.
Dorsey oversaw numerous construction, expansion and renovation projects, including Trinity Catholic High School; and helped build several new churches, including Queen of Peace in Ocala, the diocese said.
He also oversaw construction of the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe Shrine, in Orlando.
The Rev. Patrick Sheedy, pastor of Blessed Trinity Catholic Church in Ocala, said Dorsey's death was expected since he had been fighting cancer.
Sheedy recalled that Dorsey helped resolve issues that bogged down the expansion of the church's school and the construction of Trinity Catholic High School.
For instance, Dorsey helped settle a disagreement over the final plan for the high school, of which there were at least a half dozen variations, Sheedy said.
"He worked with us very well. He was a strong believer in giving lay people the power in the church, but he stepped in when he need to," Sheedy said. "He was a holy man and a gentle man."

Media mogul Oprah Winfrey has raised $600,000 or charity after holding what she dubbed the "biggest yard sale ever" in California.
The star sold various pieces from her homes in Hawaii, Indiana and California on Saturday, including a set of six 18th century Louis XVI armchairs with hand-embroidered details, which went for $60,000, and an enlarged print of a TV Guide magazine photo of Winfrey, which fetched $3,000 .
The funds will benefit Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa.
The "yard sale" was managed by an auction house that also released a 29-page catalog of the items up for sale.

When Driscoll's, a century-old California-based global provider of fresh berries, wanted to help its core workers hone their leadership skills, the company turned to employee assessment tools.
Since 2004, more than 300 of the company's 500 full-time U.S. workers have finished a yearlong program that uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment tool, which analyzes feedback from a series of questions to help employees recognize preferences that can impact their effectiveness on the job. The company wants all of its workers to eventually complete the program.
By shedding light on workers' differing communication styles and how they make decisions and settle conflicts, workplace assessments are credited with helping to boost team effectiveness.
"I think people see a value to it as to how they can help become a more effective team and also how they can understand their peers," says Janet Heien, director of Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc.'s Growing Great People program, which is part of the company's talent management department and oversees employee development. "We're a really values-based company and how you get along with your co-workers is very important."
Driscoll's is one of a growing number of companies using workplace assessment tools.
Boston-based research firm Aberdeen Group reports in a recent survey that 49 percent of the companies it contacted said they had a formalized assessment strategy in place, up from 40 percent in 2011.
"Anecdotally, we are seeing increasing usage among organizations," says Mollie Lombardi, Aberdeen's research director for human capital management and author of the report, in an email.
The Aberdeen research report found that companies are including assessment tools in their efforts to identify high-potential talent, to develop workers' interpersonal and leadership skills and to set performance goals for their workers.
United Way of Greater Milwaukee regularly uses assessments as part of its hiring process, says Ken Vogel, director of human resources. His nonprofit organization often administers the ProfileXT assessment, created by Profiles International, a Waco, Texas-based provider of evaluation services and tools.
Here's how it works: First, United Way has its top performers take the ProfileXT assessment to determine the thinking style, behavioral traits and occupational interests that make those employees so successful. Then, job candidates take the assessment and have their results compared against the top employees' traits.
The candidates' results aren't measured as "good or bad. It's just how they're wired," Vogel says, with the goal to help determine if someone is right for the position.
In addition to personality assessments, some companies offer competency-based assessments and personality fit by job types, says Deb Calvert, president of Morgan Hill, California-based consulting firm People First Productivity Solutions.
"There are at least a dozen for sales suitability alone," she says. "Add in assessments related to critical-thinking skills, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, leadership behaviors, strengths, values and aptitude, and there are certainly hundreds that are used."
Other well-known assessments include the DiSC instrument, which is published by Inscape Publishing Inc. and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter personality questionnaire, developed by Keirsey.com.
Businesses with global operations are especially likely to utilize assessments, says Jennifer Overbo, who is director of product strategy for CPP Inc., the publisher of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The benchmark tool, she says, is used by 89 of the nation's Fortune 100 companies.
"One of the trends that we're seeing is that there is a much more connected workplace," Overbo says. "Companies are trying to expand globally, so there's even a greater need to understand the individuals that you are working with, who you are bringing onboard and what their path may be in the organization."
Some organizations also are broadening how they use Myers-Briggs. "Before, they may have used it just for team development. Now, they're using assessments to really grow leaders, to bring teams together around strategic planning and innovation, and looking to create clear career paths," Overbo says.
In addition to a traditional base of big firms, she says Myers-Briggs publisher CPP is receiving "quite few inquiries from very small organizations" about how the tool can aid their employees' development.
"Companies are spending quite a bit of money training their employees, but no one has been measuring that return on investment," says Gretchen Lester, assistant professor in the Department of Organization and Management at San Jose State University in California. "So I think there's been a big push for more metrics around whether the training and skill development that companies are paying for are actually working."
Costs vary widely, and some tools are offered online for free. Industry experts say the cost of administering assessment tools and conducting follow-up training can cost companies thousands of dollars.
In its report, Aberdeen found that about 75 percent of high-performing companies can directly attribute positive changes in revenue or profitability to their assessment strategies.

This is the surgical removal of the leg below the knee.
Your doctor will review the possible complications. These may include:
Factors that may increase your risk of complications include:
Talk to your doctor about these risks before surgery.
If your surgery is planned, your doctor will review the surgery and what to expect. He will talk to you about how you are going to move after surgery. You may need a prosthesis (artificial limb),
, or a combination of these.
At your appointment before your surgery, your doctor may:
You should ask your doctor questions like:
Before surgery, you may:
General anesthesia
or regional anesthesia will be used. General anesthesia will block pain and keep you asleep during surgery. It is given through an IV. Regional anesthesia will numb your leg and the surrounding area. You may also receive IV sedation.
After you are asleep and no longer feeling pain, a breathing tube will be placed in a patient having general anesthesia. The doctor will make a cut in the skin below the knee. The muscles will be separated and blood vessels clamped. A special saw will be used to cut through the bone. The muscles will be sewn and shaped so that a stump is formed to cushion the bone. Nerves will be separated and placed so that they do not cause pain. Blood vessels will be tied off. The skin will be closed over the muscles, forming the stump. Drains may be inserted into the stump to drain blood for the first few days. A dressing and compression stocking will be placed over the stump.
You will be taken to the recovery room for observation. Your breathing tube will be removed. You will be transferred to your hospital room for recovery.
Several hours (depending on your health and the reason for the surgery)
You will not feel pain during surgery. You will be given pain medicine after surgery.
You may feel phantom pain. If you do, tell your doctor.
5-14 days (Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications occur.)
You may be asked to move your stump often while you are in the hospital. This will allow for circulation and prevent contractures (stiffening causing loss of joint movement).
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

LEBANON, Pa. -- September 29, 2012
Court documents say retired Pennsylvania pastor Arthur "A.B." Schirmer was a serial philanderer, preying on women in his church who were having trouble in their own marriages.
Yet adultery might have been the least of his sins.
Charged two years ago in the death of his second wife in the Poconos, Schirmer now stands accused of killing his first wife, too, after a grand jury concluded her fatal injuries weren't consistent with a fall down the stairs.
Lebanon County prosecutors announced Friday that Schirmer has been charged in the 1999 death of Jewel Schirmer, his wife of 31 years.
Schirmer's attorney said his client denies involvement in either of his wives' deaths. His children say they support him and believe he is innocent.

(CBSNews.com) - In an ongoing recall of peanut and almond butter products over possible salmonella contamination, New Mexico-based Sunland Inc. announced Monday it expanded its recall yet again to include cashew butters, tahini and blanched and roasted peanut products sold at many U.S. supermarkets.
New products recalled include varieties of cookies sold at Whole Foods that contain peanut butter, peanut butter cracker snacks sold at Stop & Shop supermarkets, and various ice cream and chocolate snack products. Sunland's recall now includes 101 products, and several retailers have issued additional recalls including items made with Sunland ingredients.
Sunland Inc. sells its nuts and nut butters to large groceries and other food distributors around the country. The company recalled products under multiple brand names after salmonella illnesses were linked Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter, one of the brands manufactured by Sunland.
The recall was then expanded last week to include other peanut and almond butter products manufactured by Sunland, 76 products at the time.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says there are now 30 illnesses in 19 states that can be traced to the Trader Joe's peanut butter. No other foods have been linked to the illnesses, but Sunland recalled other products manufactured on the same equipment as the Trader Joe's product.
Those sickened reported becoming ill between June 11 and Sept. 11, according to the CDC. Almost two-thirds of those who became ill were children under the age of 10. No deaths have been reported.
Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 hours to 72 hours after infection, which is known as salmonellosis. It is most dangerous to children, the elderly and others with weak immune systems.
The bacteria is microscopic and passes from feces of people or animals to other people, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. Salmonellosis causes an estimated 1.4 million cases of foodborne illness and more than 400 deaths annually in the United States.
In addition to Trader Joe's, the recall includes nut products sold at Whole Foods Market, Target, Fresh & Easy, Giant Food, Harry and David, Stop & Shop Supermarket Company and several other stores. Some of the stores used Sunland ingredients in items they prepared and packaged themselves. Brand names recalled include Archer Farms, Earth Balance, Fresh & Easy, Late July, Heinen's, Joseph's, Natural Value, Naturally More, Open Nature, Peanut Power Butter, Serious Food, Snaclite Power, Sprouts Farmers Market, Sprout's, Sunland and Dogsbutter, among others.

Global Education: Study Abroad
Home >
Transitioning to life back in the USA
For many students, coming home after their study abroad experience can be as much of an adjustment as entering a new culture for the first time. Just like culture shock, this is a normal feeling and you should readjust after a few months back home. We hope to provide you with some tips to make your reentry smoother and open your eyes to opportunities here on campus.
You may be experiencing reverse culture shock. This is something that many people do not think about when returning home. After all, you are returning to a culture that you are familiar with, why would you have any difficulty? Most students, however, have had life changing experiences while abroad, seen and experienced things that they never even considered before, and met people with very different life views.
Take a look at some of the events and opportunities that the Study Abroad Office organizes for returning students. All of us in the office have had to transition to life back in the U.S. at one time or another and we know that it can be a challenge. Consequently, we have worked over the years to provide a variety of opportunities for returned students.
Our biggest event of the year for returning students is the Lessons From Abroad Conference. You'll have the opportunity to spend a day with students from all over the State of Washington to reflect on your time abroad, learn how to write a resumé and talk about your international experience in a job interview.
Don't forget that there are loads of cultural opportunities for students at home. You can join a new club or take a class that pertains to your experience. Some students have even started their own organizations after study abroad. Volunteering is another way to stay connected to your international experience and explore new interests, while giving back to the community.
For many students, their study abroad experience instilled in them a desire for more. Whether you have a couple more quarters until graduation or have already graduated, there are many options for you to go abroad again. Contact the Study Abroad Office or the Center for Career and Calling to learn about future opportunities.

MERRIFIELD, Va. (WUSA9) - Local health care providers are disturbed over the handling of a elderly woman who collapsed at a California retirement facility.
A dramatic 911 call between a Bakersfield, California emergency dispatcher and a nurse at a retirement home has stirred questions about all senior living communities.. In the recording, a nurse can be heard refusing to give CPR to a dying woman. When the dispatcher asks, "Is she breathing?" the caller replies, "'Is she breathing?' Barely."
Inside the Glenwood Gardens Retirement Facility, an 87-year-old woman lay unresponsive. But when the 911 dispatcher says to start CPR, the nurse on the other end of the line refuses. The nurse can be heard saying, "Yeah, we can't do CPR at this facility."
The dispatcher then says, "OK, then hand the phone to the passerby. If you can't do it, I need, hand it to the passerby, I'll have her do it. Or if you've got any citizens there, I'll have them do it."
"No, no, it's not," the nurse says.
The dispatcher said, "Anybody there can do CPR. Give them the phone, please. ... This woman's not breathing enough. She's going to die if we don't get this started."
As the seconds tick by, the dispatcher tries desperately to convince the nurse to do something. The dispatcher can be heard saying, "I don't understand why you're not willing to help this patient. Is there anybody that works there that's willing to do it?"
"We can't do that," the nurse says. "That's what I'm trying to say." "Are we just going to let this lady die?" the dispatcher says.
"Well, that's why we're calling 911," the nurse replies.
The dispatcher says, "We can't wait. She can't wait right now. She is stopping breathing. Is there anybody there that's willing to help this lady and not let her die?"
The nurse replies, 'Um, not at this time."
By the time medics arrived, it was too late. The Glenwood Gardens Retirement Facility released a statement saying it's "conducting a thorough review" but that, "...our practice is to immediately call emergency medical personnel for assistance and to wait with the individual needing attention until such personnel arrives."
WUSA9 spoke to health professionals at several local facilities about their policies. At the Goodwin House, Erickson Living Retirement Communities and Alzheimer's Family Day Center, officials say their policies require staff to perform CPR.
"When you hear a story like that, it is very shocking. That someone, especially a nurse, would not be performing any type of measure and didn't have a sense of urgency in their voice, or trying to find someone else that would," said Joel Bednoski, the Executive Director of the The Alzheimer's Family Day Center in Merrifield, Virginia.
The Day Center provides daycare for people with memory impairment. No client has ever collapsed from a heart attack, but if they did, any staff person could help says Bednoski. They've all been trained in CPR.
"We are licensed with the Virginia Department of Social Services and they require that all of our staff be First Aid (trained) and that we have a certain number of staff that are CPR certified per shift. But we go above and beyond that and make sure that all of our staff are certified," said Bednoski.
He and other local health care professionals wondered if the 87 year old woman who died in California, may have had a DNR, do-not-resuscitate order. It's something The family day center asks about when new clients come in.
"We deal with people with various forms of memory impairment. If someone does have an episode where they require CPR, and they are resuscitated, they might not be back at the same level that they were before. They're going to be a different baseline," said Bednoski.
But, according to CBS News and KGET-TV, the patient did not have a do-not-resuscitate order.
The elderly woman was identified by KGET-TV as 87-year-old Lorraine Bayless. according to KGET-TV. Bayless' daughter told KGET that she was a nurse and was satisfied with her mother's care at Glenwood Gardens, the station reported.
The LA Times is also reporting that Bakersfield police are investigating the Glenwood Gardens Retirement Facility for it's handling of an elderly resident who died after a nurse declined to perform CPR.

Best Tent I may have ever seen
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This tent is incredible. Sierra Designs has thought of everything on this tent. A little known fact that they do not advertise is that the sleeping section can actually be removed from the tent, making one long covered area!!!! I love the versatility that the rain fly offers, you can go from a bug free area to a rain free area and the fly stays on the tent! Also, ONE PERSON CAN EASILY SET UP THIS TENT! It takes a little more time, but my first setup I did took me 10 minutes to get the whole thing pitched. The hardest part of setting it up is having to walk around the tent a lot to clip it up.

How will this differ from a tent with a full coverage fly in terms of heat retention in fringe weather camping (late spring/early summer and autumn in canada)? We're comparing to a North Face Kaiju.
This tent is rated as a 3-season tent and when buttoned down with the full fly lives up to that rating. As with any larger interior, heating and maintaining a desired temperature will take more effort.

I would like to buy this tent, but does it really need two people to set it up? How about 1 person that knows what they are doing?
You can do it, but it's time consuming and can be very frustrating. Because of the tent's size, I find it difficult to get all it all together without something that had previously been assembled falling apart.
Is it difficult, time consuming,etc for even 2 people? We've had a SD Mondo Condo for over 20 yrs, which 1 person could do in about 10 minutes. We're trying to decide if this one is worth the hassle.
With 2 people it's no problem at all and if you're a pro, setting it up solo probably wouldn't be too bad.
I have seen the Mirage 2 set up by two people rather effortlessly. I will be using the Mirage 4 myself in a week or so and will have more beta on potential hassles found in setting this beast up by oneself...stay tuned.

What is the overall exterior footprint of the Mirage?

Bodine, Germain Racing Lead Most Laps, Finish 3rd at Martinsville
Posted by: lori on Oct 25, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , GEICO Racing , GEICO
Mooresville, N.C. (10-25-1010) – The Germain Racing team knew Saturday's Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway was a wild card as far as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series standings were concerned. In the spring, they brought a top-performing race truck to the track, only to see their race day cut short by someone else's mistake. Todd Bodine, the series points leader since May, entered the race 262 points ahead, and left with another twenty points cushion. With the help of strong performances by the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra pit crew, Bodine took the lead for 83 laps before finishing third. It was an outstanding effort by team and driver, who were reeling from the loss of Bodine's mother on Friday evening, as well as working to overcome a tough starting position.
"This race was a little eventful for us – not a normal, typical Martinsville for us. Starting 24th we knew we had to strategize our way to the front and (Mike Hillman) Junior (crew chief) did a great job and had a plan laid out to get track position that we needed and it worked. We had a really, really good Toyota Tundra. It kind of went away a little bit at the end. I was overdriving it a little bit probably," said Bodine, who was pleased with the third place result of the Germain.com Tundra. "This was one of the wild cards we were worried about with the points race and anything can happen like in the spring time. A guy stopped in front of me in the middle of the back straightaway and I ran into him, popped the radiator and blew the motor. That's stuff that you can't control. To come out of here with the Germain.com Tundra in third is a great day, a good run for us. We've got a lot of good runs at Martinsville – we finally led some laps and ended up leading the most laps today so that was good points wise. I'm proud of everybody at Germain Racing for sticking with me and doing a great job every single week."
Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. was extremely proud of his team and driver and what they accomplished after 206 laps of Martinsville racing.
"I couldn't ask for more from any one on this Germain.com Tundra team. We've all had a very long week for a variety of reasons. To come here, to a track that's been one where we have struggled or seen our hard work end up in pieces in the garage, and to have a race like we had where we were out front, the truck to beat, for almost half the race. We are very happy with our third-place finish. It was a great reward for all that everyone has worked through this week," said Hillman.
On Saturday, Bodine drove the race truck that went to victory lane at Darlington Raceway. He raced with a determined but heavy heart, which was very evident in his post-race interview with SPEED's Adam Alexander.
"I'm really proud of this team. We didn't have the fastest truck today, but we finished third. That's because of what Junior did and the guys in the pits. This is how you win championships. We did really good. I'm proud of this Germain Racing team. It's tough. I was good until we got on pit road and then it was pretty hard. It's all good now. Mom and Dad were watching. They were in the grandstands in the sky rooting for me. Mom and Dad loved this race track and I know they were with me," explained Bodine of his race, which came the day after he found out his mother, Carol June Bodine, had passed away.
The No. 30 Valvoline Tundra races next on Saturday, October 30th at Talladega Superspeedway, a track where Bodine and Germain Racing have combined for two victories and a pole award. You can watch the coverage on SPEED beginning with practice at 10:00 AM Eastern on Friday, followed by qualifying that afternoon at 4:40 PM and racing on Saturday at 3:00 PM. If you won't be by a TV, set your DVR, and tune your radio dial to your local MRN affiliate.

Video: Tracen Franklin may face death sentence for Bobby Tillman's murder
Video: UPDATE | Franklin may face death sentence for Tillman murder
Video: UPDATE PART 2 | Franklin may face death sentence for Tillman murder
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. -- The verdict is guilty, and soon the jury will decide whether the penalty is death.
The jury has three choices; death, life in prison with parole, and live in prison with parole.
A Douglas County jury on Wednesday afternoon found Tracen Franklin guilty of the unprovoked, 2010 murder of 19-year-old college student Bobby Tillman, a murder that set off a firestorm of outrage.
The jury heard testimony from two mothers on Thursday. The mother of Bobby Tillman and Tracen Franklin's mom. The statements they gave may sway the decision on Franklin's penalty.
"My life is miserable and lonely without my son. A mother is not supposed to bury a child. I miss Bobby so much. He was so close to me. He was truly my best friend," Tillman's Mom, Monique Rivard said, as she choked back tears.
Sonia Lavon Barber's story was quite different. She told the court how she raised Tracen Franklin alone and put a lot of responsibility on him. When Tracen was only 3-years-old, she told the court how she left him alone to care for his baby sister.
"He was three but I had systems in place," Barber said.
Her system, she told the jury, was to call home while at work and let the phone ring 3 times, then call back. That's how Tracen would know he should answer the phone.
However, she said as Tracen got older, she put him into sports to help give him good male role models. Obviously, she acknowledged on cross examination, the choices he made were wrong.
It was a murder merciless, random.
Four young men attacked and killed 19 year old Bobby Tillman with their fists and feet, for no reason.
Franklin listened quietly as the jury declared him guilty of the charges against him, felony murder and malice murder -- helping to beat to death Bobby Tillman on that November night two years ago.
Tillman's mother left the courtroom just before the verdict was read. She's been the most eloquent and outspoken advocate of justice for her son, the son she's called her best friend.
Bobby Tillman had gone to a party in November, 2010.
And outside the home some of the teens began arguing.
Then, prosecutors say, Franklin and three other young men picked Tillman out of the crowd for no reason, and beat him and kicked him to death.
During Franklin's trial, jurors heard his videotaped police interview.
"I did throw a punch or two, maybe three," he said. "Did I kick him? Yes, I did. Maybe once."
One of the other four defendants has already pleaded guilty in order to escape the death penalty, and the other two are also not expected to face death.
Franklin could be the only one of the four executed for the murder.
Just before the trial began last month, Bobby Tillman's mother, Monique Rivarde, told 11Alive News that, even now, some days she just doesn't want to wake up.
"It is indescribable, the pain.... I miss my son with everything in me. And I hate what happened to him, he didn't deserve it, he had a bright future, and he was a good, good person. And I just want justice. So if Mr. Franklin is found guilty, then I want justice."
Douglas County Superior Court Judge William McClain said from the bench Wednesday that the sentencing part of the trial could take until next week.
The jury will have three options -- death, life, or life without parole.

Wednesday Afternoon News, Dec. 5
Area Legislators Meet With Community Leaders
(Le Mars) -- State Representative Chuck Soderberg and State Senator Bill Anderson visited with community leaders representing the city, school, hospital, chamber, and area businesses during the Chamber of Commerce Legislative Luncheon. The state lawmakers told the gathering of the priorities for the upcoming General Session of the state legislature. Both lawmakers say the state budget is a major concern. Anderson, a Republican from Pierson, says whatever takes place in Washington with regards to the budget will trickle down to the state level. Soderberg, who will assume the role of chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, says Iowa's budget is doing o.k. but heavily dependent upon the federal government's subsidies.
Soderberg says Iowa's budget is approximately $12 billion dollars of which half is generated from Iowa tax revenues, and the other $6 billion is funded from the federal government. Anderson says he expects the Democratic controlled Senate to seek additional tax credits with property taxes, as opposed to any tax reform.

Noted Animal Scientist Speaks At IFBF Convention
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Animal scientist Temple Grandin has criticized legislation that restricts or bans underground videos in feedlots and confinements.
The animal rights authority told the Iowa Farm Bureau Wednesday that
laws with such rules are "the dumbest thing."
Gradin praised beef trimmings, or so-called "pink slime" as a good product. She says its production
should never have been suspended.
Grandin also spoke against sow gestation crates, a method of enclosure used in pig farming. It's a controversial issue between hog producers and animal rights activists.
Harkin Says He Wants His Name Removed If Iowa State Doesn't Change Policies
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin is threatening to end his association with a namesake policy institute at Iowa State University if the school president does not remove restrictions on
its ability to research agriculture.
Harkin suggests in a statement obtained Tuesday by the Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/Vk45JQ) that he may not donate his papers to the Harkin Institute of Public Policy because he -- quote -- "simply cannot be part of any arrangement that restricts full
and unfettered academic freedom at this institute."
Harkin and the institute's advisory board are objecting to a memo issued by ISU President Steven Leath that says the institute generally cannot research agricultural subjects without approval from ISU's Center for Agriculture and Rural Development.
Leath says he wants to avoid duplication and maintain the center's prominence.

Santa Fe Hotel Guide
Many of the hotels in Santa Fe are conveniently located in downtown or Cerrillos Road. While these two hotel hot spots are within easy access of each other, they differ in their ambience and appeal. Downtown has a historical vibe with an old Western environment, while Cerrillos Road is a much more modern area with an urban feel. Regardless of where you book one of the Santa Fe hotels, you'll find a variety of lodging options, from budget-friendly motels to splurge-worthy accommodations.
One of the best ways of getting around is to reserve a Santa Fe rental car in advance. With the exception of downtown, which is walkable, there are a number of roads that run through the city and are easy to navigate. Many of the streets do have sharp turns, so take care when cruising along these roads.
The city also provides the North Central Regional Transit District, which is a free bus service that runs Monday through Friday. The routes service communities in Santa Fe, along with Los Alamos, Rio Arriba, and Taos. The Santa Fe Trails also offers bus service to the area, with routes to Crosstown, Cerrillos Road, Agua Fria, and Rodeo Road, among others.
Travel Basics
Realize that Santa Fe is a high-altitude destination, which can contribute to a number of health-related problems if travelers are ill prepared to handle it. Focus on staying hydrated, pack plenty of sunscreen, and be especially vigilant if you're hiking to even higher altitudes. Some visitors may feel experience headaches, or feel nauseated and especially tired when acclimating.
For vacationers who plan to get behind the wheel during their Santa Fe travels, take caution. Drivers in this area are notorious for running red lights, so remain extra focused around intersections. For whatever reason, items failing off of trailers and pick-up trucks are another common occurrence. Remain alert while driving on these roads and maintain a safe distance behind other vehicles.
Santa Fe presents four distinct seasons each year. The winters usually experience temperatures around 40 F with the chance of snowfall. When spring rolls in, the climate is dry and offers arguably some of the best temperatures all year round. Come summer, the heat spikes around 90 F, but afternoon thunderstorms help to cool it down during July and August. Autumn brings cooler temperatures and crisp evenings before the winter chill sets in.
Santa Fe is a scenic destination, located at the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where anytime is a good time to visit. Allow us here at Expedia.com to match you up with cheap flights to Santa Fe, along with car rentals and hotel rooms to suit all your travel preferences.

2014 Rod and Custom Car ShowWritten by on March 28, 2014 Darryl Starbird's Tulsa Show Hits The Half-Centruy Mark
In 1964 legendary car customizer and icon Darryl Starbird produced his first Rod and Custom Car Show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Located in the central United States, the event provided the perfect meeting place for builders and enthusiasts to display their talents. Now in its 50th year, the show has risen from humble beginnings and flourished into one of the premier indoor car shows in the country.
The Darryl Starbird National Rod and Custom Car Show celebrated its half-century mark with a bang. Through its 50 years the show has evolved into one of the largest rod and custom indoor car shows with over 1,000 cars flocking to the event annually, displaying innovation, tradition, and beyond. In addition to the collection of vehicles in attendance, the show combines a plethora of entertainment that spans from Pin-Up contests, freestyle FMX and BMX, a long list of automotive celebrities and icons making appearances, and live bands. One of the keys to success after these 50 years is the facility that holds the Starbird show, the River Spirit Expo Center. Years ago Tulsa was the oil capital of the world and in 1966 Tulsa built the International Petroleum Exposition Center to hold the largest indoor oil trade show in the country. In total the building spans 448,000 square feet under a column-free cable-suspended roof and the Starbird show utilizes every square foot. Long story short, the building is the ideal place to showcase all that the show has to offer.
This year's 50th anniversary show went back in time and clung to its roots—cars. For nearly 30 years the show featured heads-up monster truck racing at the east end; however this year Starbird dropped the trucks and packed in more rods and customs. In fact, Starbird himself brought out 15 of his own creations with vehicles from each decade of Starbird's lustrous 60-year career. He also debuted his latest creation, a radical '57 Brougham dubbed the "Moonbird," which features a trademark bubbletop. As if the "Moonbird" wasn't enough for the 50th, Starbird went all out to feature the most bubbletopped vehicles in one showing. (Ironically a mark Starbird held at his 50th anniversary show in Wichita, Kansas.) There were a grand total of 11 bubbletop cars in attendance, with two such vehicles being displayed for the first time ever.
For the past 10 years the Tulsa show has also been home to the Go for the Gold award. The award is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind Tulsa award that encourages builders to create a vehicle displaying innovation, execution, design, and engineering with no boundaries; so much so that the award is open to all year, make, and model vehicles. On Friday night the field of entrants is narrowed down to the Fine Nine, and the winner is announced Sunday night. Accompanying the winner is a check for $10,000, one of the largest cash purses in the industry. The unique competition for the award has spawned an annual build off between the greatest craftsmen in the world seeking hot rod immortality as an exclusive member among the Go for the Gold winner's circle.
As if all the aforementioned entrainment and Tulsa exclusives weren't enough, the 17th Annual National Rod and Custom Car Hall of Fame induction was also held at the anniversary celebration. On Friday night of the show the Hall of Fame held its induction at the Hilton Garden Inn to celebrate its newest inductees. The induction was open to any and all who wanted to attend and featured seven well-deserving inductees who have helped pave and preserve the hot rod industry. This year's crop of inductees included: Pat Keating for "Rod/Custom Builder," Harold Murphy for "Rod/Custom Builder," Herb Martinez for "Designer/Artist, "and Dave Shuten for "Builder of the Year." This year's induction also featured new categories "Automotive Journalist/Photographer," the recipient was Tom Vogele; and "Car Collector of the Year," the recipient was Beau Boeckmann. Hot rod and custom icons who have died were also honored at the event in the posthumous circle and this year's inductees included Gil Ayala, Harry Westergard, and Jim Summers. Further honoring the recent inductees, as well as previous inductees, was the Walk of Fame on Saturday during the show. This year, 17 past and present inductees were on hand to sign a free Hall of Fame poster that featured all in attendance. To sum it all up, the 50th annual Tulsa show was quite an extravaganza. Here's a look at the happening, for more information on the show or the Hall of Fame visit darrylstarbird.com.

Although Bob Maltese's '37 Ford sedan looks simple and sleek, the truth couldn't be anything farther. This '37 has been sliced from ear to ear to refine all those stock body lines, and the handmade chrome trim is the cherry on top.Darryl Starbird's latest is this radically restyled '57 Cadillac Brougham. The Brougham features handmade trim, bumpers, moldings, and fins. The interior has been changed into a dual-cowl affect and under the hood is an '07 Cadillac Northstar. Yet, the wildest part is that the "Moonbird" can be outfitted with the as-seen bubbletop, a brushed stainless top, or as a windshield-styled roadster.Darryl Starbird's latest is this radically restyled '57 Cadillac Brougham.

Yet, the wildest part is that the "Moonbird" can be outfitted with the as-seen bubbletop, a brushed stainless top, or as a windshield-styled roadster.Bob Hancock's '36 Dodge convertible very well may be a one-of-a-kind. Only 1,400 convertibles were ever produced and only 20 are known to exist! Bob turned his rare find into a clean street rod with a Mustang II frontend, four-link rearend, and GM Vortec engine.Another example of blending old and new is Alvin and Sharron Chinn's '32 Ford Tudor. The flawless black and chrome exterior hides the Pete & Jake's boxed frame with a 4-link, 9-inch, and dropped Super Bell axle. Power comes via a GM ZZ4 350 and 4L60E transmission.If you didn't know any better you would think Floyd Dutton's '59 Edsel was stock and dropped. However, this wagon features a '59 Ford wagon roof skin, a 2-1/2-chop, slanted B-pillars, custom bumpers . . . and the list goes on.Star Kustom Shop built Justin Hartman's '57 Chevy truck as homage to the late '50s Star Kustom vehicles. The truck features a handmade front- and rearend, a 2-1/2-chop through the cap, and an assortment of other custom touches. Under that kandy blue exterior is a TCI Engineering Mustang II, four-link, disc brakes, and a GM LT1 backed by a 4L60E.Goran Lassell brought his '48 Mercury all the way from Sacramento, CA. This chopped Merc is outfitted with a '46 Buick grille, '53 Buick headlights, and handful of other pirated components to complete that period look.
Pat and Jackie Slankard's jet black '32 Ford may look vintage Henry, but the GM ZZ4-powered Deuce rides on four-bar suspension up front and a Jag E-type rearend tucked between the rear 'rails.All weekend long showgoers gawked and awed over the collection of bubbletopped cars. Seven of the 11 bubbles were presented in a ring that included creations from Darryl Starbird, Ed Roth, Fritz Schneck, and Gary Meyers.Often the biggest mystery to bubbletop vehicles is what they started as. In the case of Starbird, his creations are built off production cars, such as the "Spaced Out" '34 Buick in the foreground, and "Cosma Ray" '63 Corvette to the far rear. As for other builders, such as Roth and his "Orbitron," they were created from thin air using plaster and fiberglass.Although this one-of-a-kind '67 Buick Riviera hardtop bubbletop looks like a creation from the mid-'60s, it's actually a fresh build between Starbird and Star Kustom Shop. The Riviera is radically restyled nose to rear, and features a first for bubbletops—a bubbletop hardtop comprised of Lucite and sheetmetal.The car that caused the bubble craze was also on hand, Darryl's '56 Thunderbird "Predicta." It was the first bubbletop creation to hit the scene and it set the tone for not only the bubbletop craze, but Starbird's career as well.In an adjacent circle to the bubbletops Starbird had a collection of seven other vehicles. Seen here is Starbird's famed "Big T" in full scale. In the background you can see the '41 Lincoln Continental, a former SR feature, as well as various other Starbird creations.Tranquility and reckless abandonment don't exactly gel, but in the case of Leonard Wren's supercharged 377ci Chevy-powered '40 Willy's Gasser that subdued hue of green gives a peaceful easy feeling to what the Gasser is capable of unleashing.
Dick Graese made the Fine Nine with his '41 Ford Business coupe. From head to toe the Ford has been sliced and diced in all sorts of ways, and yet still with all that metal slimmed down they managed to stuff in a 502 Ram Jet big-block.Not only did Hall Of Fame Inductees Beau Boeckmann and Dave Shuten make the trek to Tulsa, but they also brought the Shuten-built and Boeckmann owned "Iron Orchid" '34 coupe; former STREET RODDER cover car. The luminous paint and chrome stopped bystanders dead in their tracks all weekend long.Lil' John Harvey's '63 'Bird had lines so spot on and smooth that it put the stock T-birds to shame. The reworked fins, nose, rearend, and 3-1/2-inch chopped top all lathered in Kandy Amethyst paint was a showing of "kustomizing" at its finest.Another one of Eldon Titus's creations, the handbuilt "Voodoo Spider", also made the "nine". Inspired by a show rod model Titus built as a kid, this full-fledged modern-day show rod is as exotic and creative as they come.John and Diana Fleming's '39 Lincoln Zephyr is all class on the outside. Yet, under the hood sits a supercharged 5.4 Ford Lightning crate engine backed by a 4R70W Mustang tranny.Inspired by a Jimmy Smith illustration, Fritz Schneck made the illustrated bubbletop slingshot dragster a reality. The car is handbuilt from top to bottom and features a VW rear-link and psychedelic '60s-inspired layout. The bubble made its debut for the 50th Starbird show.The late "kustom" legend Elden Titus was mid-way through his handbuilt Vibrasonic show rod when he died. Good friend Gary Meyers picked up where Titus left off and finished the handbuilt show rod with a Jag IRS and dual-carb 401 Nailhead.Now in its 11th year, this year's Go for the Gold award went to Tulsa's own Alan Beers with his '57 Chevy truck built by the Tulsa-based Hot Rod Garage. This chopped, dropped, pancaked hauler featured a handbuilt Fleetside bed and more. Beyond the extensive body mods and flawless Tungsten and Quicksilver paint the attention to detail was something.Innovative best describes Doug Weigel's '26 Turbine T. The only factory panel is the '26 Ford cowl, while the rest of the car is handbuilt by Weigel himself; including the polished aluminum tube frame, intake, and exhaust. The T is powered by a polished aluminum Garret GTP-70 Turbine engine pulled from a helicopter.
Beau Boeckman (left) was the first recipient of the inaugural Collector of the Year induction. Boeckman is known for his Galpin Auto Sports–designed vehicles, as well as a mass of rare and historic vehicles of all types. Not to mention he has the largest collection of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth vehicles in the world.Dave Shuten (left) was this year's honoree as the Hall of Fame Builder of the Year. Shuten is the builder behind the highly coveted "Iron Orchid" '34, as well as Dan Wood's "Milk Truck" and "Ice Truck," "Back-up Pickup" wheel stander, Roth's "Mysterion" clone, and his own bubbletop venture the "Astro Sled."Another first for the Hall of Fame was this year's recognition of Automotive Journalist/Photographer. The first-ever inductee was former STREET RODDER Editor and Group Publisher Tom Vogele (left). Besides his SR credentials Vogele also worked for Boyd Coddington in the '80s, built the famed Project '40, and is the current editor of the NSRA's StreetScene.In the Rod/Custom Builder category Harold Murphy (right) received his place among the Hall of Fame. Murphy is highly regarded as one of the few to help revive the custom scene in the '80s with his how-to articles and countless custom projects. He's also responsible for salvaging and restoring Bill Cushenbery's famed '40 Ford the "El Matador."Pat Keating (left) was inducted into the Rod/Custom Builder category. Keating's career has spanned over 50 years and in that time he has amassed over 200 chopped tops. To boot Pat's resume consists of being a master metal finisher, building Carl Casper's creations, a killer Merc for Billy Gibbons, and he's even graced the cover of SR with his radical '48 Chevy in 2002.Known to many as simply The Line Doctor, Herb Martinez was this year's Designer/Artist inductee. Herb got started striping cars at the age of 12 and is known as a pioneer in the art of pinstriping. Beyond that Herb has written books, filmed How-To videos, and taught countless classes all around the world spreading the gospel to up-and-coming stripers and artists.The Lifetime Achievement induction went to the well-deserving Bob Larivee Sr. Larivee has done and seen it all, but is most recognized as the founder of the ISCA show circuit and bringing such prominence to the Detroit Autorama. Nowadays he's often seen around the show circuit with his automotive art exhibit and exquisite book on the history of indoor shows.On Saturday afternoon the show featured the Walk of Fame, a meet and greet for past and present inductees on hand. Each Hall of Famer was immortalized on a free giveaway poster, which gave spectators the perfect canvas for autographs and fodder for chitchat.This year 18 Hall of Fame members made the trek to the 50th: (left to right) Pat Keating, Spencer Murray, Dick "Magoo" Megugorac, Dean Arnold, Jim "Bones" Noteboom, Bill Hines, Dick Huckans, Jerry Titus, Gary Howard, George Barris, Darryl Starbird, Dave Shuten, Tom Vogele, Herb Martinez, Chuck Miller, Harold Murphy, and Bob Larivee Sr. Beau Boeckmann was also on hand for the walk but had to leave early to catch a flight, and Ken "Posies" Fenical didn't get past the airport due to weather.

After 11 years of running the Columbine Restaurant at the Rifle Creek Golf Course, Lotti and Reto Luzi went out in style on New Year's Eve.
"We have all-you-can-eat lobster, crab legs, and prime rib," said Lotti Luzi, reached at the restaurant as she was prepping for dinner on the last day of 2012. "And every guest gets a glass of champagne."
The Luzis, who hail from Switzerland but have lived in Western Colorado since 1978, closed their restaurant on Tuesday after more than a decade in business.
Grady Hazelton, founder and owner of WingNutz Bar and Grill in Rifle, will take over the golf course eatery. He plans to open an Irish-themed restaurant called "Mulligan's at Rifle Creek," which will feature standard clubhouse food like burgers and steaks, along with a few Irish specialties. Current WingNutz employee Dani Robinson will manage the new restaurant, he said.
"[Hazelton] will bring clients that are loyal to him to our venue," said Chris Christensen, president of the Rifle Creek Land Co. board of directors, which owns the restaurant and golf course. "It wasn't easy to let Reto and Lotti go, and they provided some good service as well, but we're excited for the change."
Christensen said the board put the restaurant contract out for bid in hopes of attracting a tenant that could bring more business to the golf course, which has struggled financially in recent years.
Lotti Luzi said she and her husband were disappointed, but proud of having lasted as long as they did in the business.
"I'll miss my close friends, and the unbelievable friendships with our golfers," she said. "You know what; everyone drinks and eats. Being so far out of the way, you have to offer something special out here."
Before opening the Columbine restaurant, Reto Luzi worked at Buffalo Valley restaurant and the Timberline Restaurant in Snowmass Village. The Luzis live in Basalt.
Lotti Luzi said the couple has talked about opening a new family restaurant in downtown Rifle, but has no concrete plans at this point.
Hazelton, for his part, will soon be busy remodeling the restaurant space in preparation for a spring grand opening on St. Patrick's Day, March 17.
Although the restaurant typically closes in January and February, Hazelton said he hopes to keep it open next winter by increasing the number of special events.
As it happens, Hazelton took part in a special event of his own at the golf course.
"My wife and I got married there 4 and a half years ago," he said. "I've always liked the

I read about Santa in the World Book Encyclopedia in second grade. It described him as mythical so I looked up the meaning of mythical and decided he wasn't real. Announced this to my classmates.

They are real. OP is dead wrong.
What's next, Pro Wrestling is fixed?
It's still real to me damn it!
Wait, what???
I remember around 1st or 2nd grade having a big discussion amongst the young kids at the front of the bus about how we compared our santa and easter bunny experiences, and that allowed us to determine that santa wasn't real but the easter bunny probably was real. Then we went back to shooting each other with rubber bands
My sister is 3 years older than me. She ruined the magic for me far too soon when she recruited me to search for x-mas presents with her.

I apparently told my whole kindergarten class Santa wasn't real, and was then dragged out into the hallway and my mother was called. C'mon fellow 6 year olds, use your brain!
Also, what the **** is the Easter Rabbit?
He's a ******* bunny damn it!
don't know when I figured out Santa Claus wasn't real, but I remember the other two.
Easter Bunny I figured out when "he" left us a note and began it with " To the W- children". The W was exactly like my mom's W, so I caught on her on that.
Tooth Fairy was discovered one morning as I ran into the bathroom to tell my mom that the Tooth Fairy hadn't left me any money the night before! Mom was brushing her teeth and went "oh ****, I forgot".
I was the oldest child though, so I had to pretend for a couple more years for the younger kids. That really sucked. I had to help fill and hide Easter eggs, but I didn't get to find any
They had a close call with "Santa" one time. My younger brother was digging for snow clothes in a utility closet before Christmas one year, and found some presents that said "to: brother from: Santa". They explained it away saying that Santa can't get to all the houses in one night, so he brings some ahead of time.

My son never believed in Santa but totally believed in the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy.
Believe everything you read, huh?

I probably believed longer than others did because we had 2 different Christmas parties to go to and the same guy was hired to play Santa at both of them. He also was good friends with my parents and both sets of grandparents, so he knew a lot of things about me, which he mentioned when handing out gifts.
I'm not really sure when I realized the gig was up, but I know I didn't say anything because I'm the oldest of my siblings and wanted to make sure the Santa gravy train kept on a-rollin'.
I'm very curious when my boys will figure this out. My 6 year old is pretty smart so I'm guessing it will be within the next year or two. My 4 year old is more of a dreamer but his brother, the know it all, will probably ruin it for you.

Monarch Butterfly Migration Indicates Species Recovery
AUSTIN, Texas — The cool front that blew through Texas this week brought the leading edge of the annual migration of millions of monarch butterflies traveling south to their Mexico wintering grounds, and early indications are the monarch population has finally recovered from the severe snow storm that struck overwintering colonies in 2004.
Scientists say monarch numbers stayed at low ebb though the unusually cool summer of 2004, but due to favorable breeding conditions this summer, they appear to be at or above their 11-year population average.
"Hundreds to thousands of monarchs have been streaming by east of Sonora, Texas since Oct. 3," said Mike Quinn, an entomologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, who said recent cool fronts also brought clusters of roosting monarchs to the Abilene area and earlier reports had monarchs moving through Wichita Falls.
"We almost always get reports of good numbers of butterflies from Wichita Falls, Abilene, San Angelo, to Del Rio as these cities sit atop the center of the monarch's Central Flyway though Texas," said Quinn, "but what's really exciting is that were now getting reports of thousands of monarchs as far west as Midland and Odessa. Donna Kelly reported an estimated 20,000 monarchs at a pecan orchard about 30 miles southeast of Midland on Oct. 1. When large numbers of monarchs are reported outside of the core of the Central Flyway, which indicates the butterflies are having a really good year."
The number and distribution of monarchs flying south through Texas appear to confirm predictions by Chip Taylor of the Monarch Watch program based at the University of Kansas that this winter's monarch population "may even exceed the long term average."
Early last week the bulk of the monarchs were still north of the Red River. But Quinn believes the recent cold front "should accelerate their movement on down and give us a better indication of this year's population size."
An ultralight airplane decorated as a monarch butterfly is currently tracking the monarch's migration through Texas. The plane crew (nick-named Papalotzin, Aztec for "royal butterfly") started their journey in southeastern Canada and will end up at the butterfly sanctuaries in central Mexico. The objective of pilot and tracking crew is to increase awareness of the challenges that the monarchs face throughout their astonishing journey to Mexico and back.
The next three weeks represent the last opportunity to assess the migration size before the butterflies all move into Mexico. Scientists are urging the public to help assess the strength of the monarch migration through Texas by reporting when and where double-digit or greater numbers of monarchs are seen this month. Scientists are this year asking people to please not report sightings of individual butterflies, but instead to focus on reporting larger monarch groups. Monarch group sightings may be reported to Quinn by e-mail (email@example.com), or by phone at (512) 912-7059.
