The sites are closer together than I would like, but the ones along the river have a nice "back yard" which leads to the river. Picnic tables in the back provide a nice setting to grill out or have a meal. Restrooms are heated and they play music inside. The pool looks very clean, although we didn't use it. We could access the Crowsnest River from the campground, which was fun for us as we fish for trout. The CG is located across the road from a basic grocery store and the town is very close. The hosts are very helpful and provide an enjoyable atmosphere. Power, water, and sewer connections were convenient and power was fine, according to my installed monitor. We had some tiny black bug problems in the camper. We used apple cider, vinegar, and dish liquid in a dish to catch them. This worked fairly well. - rob3

Other than the fact of being crowded and some difficulty in manoeuvring rigs around, it is a nice place to stay. Some sites back onto the Crowsnest River, some into a steep hillside (these offer a little more privacy), and some are in between with no trees nor privacy. The site itself was clean and well looked after with newer improvements added as time and seasons permit. - Doug Dean

I did not have any problems with rules. Elect was good and had 50amp, water was good. Wifi was good. Close to town and there is a IGA there if you need food. Gravel roads. Watch out at the RR tracks. Bad bumps. Grass between sites and have a picnic table. Quite. too cold for the hot tub and pool. Is tight with my 38' with tow but really was not a problem. People running the place are quite nice. Bathrooms are really clean and nice. I would stay again if in the area. Stopped on my way to Alaska. Lots are pretty level. If you are new to the area there is a Tim Horton which is like Dunkin donuts. - neilontheroad

Reservations were made by email and staff were friendly and caring. Campsite is near the highway so there is quite a bit of road noise. The 30 Amp electric was conveniently located and had a breaker at the pillar. The water was clean but distinctly chlorinated. Sites have gravel pads separated by grass with steel fire-pits. Washrooms are new and very clean with stainless-steel counters, are brightly lit and nicely decorated. Laundry room has two coin operated washers and two dryers. - North_fork

The Park has no cell phone service. The host requires folks to leave something at the site to show that it is not abandoned. I was less than pleased to find my site taken by another camper. The Falls are quite lovely. It is located on the old highway. There are vault toilets. Wood is two bundles for $15.00. I'd stay here again. - User3761

A lovely campsite. Close to the highway, but fairly quiet all the same. 15 amp power but lots of oomph. Water connection at the sites. Rinse water at the dump station. It is operated by the Town. Fire wood was provided, as are picnic tables. I would camp here again. - User3761

Large sites for most campsites. We kept a 27' trailer and boat side by side on our site. A few pull-throughs are available. Near Highway 3 so not as quiet as some campgrounds but night time traffic was lighter so did not bother us. It is a community run campground so is in good condition and office staff were very friendly. Would stay there again. - Calgarynorm

Clean restrooms, spacious sites but limited full service. Good community run park. Free firewood in abundance which is definitely a plus given that other campgrounds charge $$ for a very small bundle. Would visit again. - Alpiners

This is a great place to stay for a family as the park is great and walking distance from all sites. If you want the power sites, you will need to book well in advance. Very quiet, great walking trails and people are very nice. there is a lake to fish in as well. I would recommend this site! Be forewarned however, if camping during mosquito season, you will leave that campground with the fast reflexes of a Kung Fu Master! - threeunderthreeSAHM

This is a rustic park with plentiful vault toilets, several potable water faucets but none at individual sites and no showers. The sites are shaded and private sites and approximately 25 with electricity. They are a couple of dollars more expensive. For RVs the lake is within walking distance via a nature trail. Separate tent sites are on the lake. Fishing, a boat ramp (small boats only), wildlife viewing, playground and numerous well marked trails are available. For ice fishing and cross country skiing in the winter there are small huts with wood burning stoves beside the river. A serene and scenic park approximately 5 miles from town. - caragamuffin

Very small gravel parking lot in which 10 campers were squeezed very close together. Only 1 bathroom/shower so be prepared to wait. Even motel guests (motel is connected to the campground office) use this shower so it's one little busy bathroom! Very little privacy since campers so close together. This campground "parking lot" was right behind residential houses in town, but down the street about 3 blocks is a nice park and bike path. Overall this is just "a place to park overnight if you're desperate." Not worth it to stay long-term, especially for the price and how little you get for your dollar. If we had a choice, we would not come back here. - Rider

This is a great place to spend a night or even a few days while in Pincher Creek, AB. Electric only but good Wi-Fi. Dump Station and fresh water available. Host is very friendly and helpful. We stayed here, in the rain, for one night only, but would return. It is a very pretty little park right in Town and on the Pincher Creek. Lots of trees and grass. - Saskanna

A nice small park in Pincher Creek, we were a little surprised to find that the sites did not have water at the site. We came in with little water in our tanks; we were able to fill our tank before we backed in. The park is located next to a nice walking trail and close to the local museum. The camp hosts were very friendly. We would stay there again. - mamestra

Limited hours when office was open and self registration was in effect at time of visit. When I tried to register in person during evening business hours no one showed up. List of reserved sites on bulletin board and first come first serve for the rest. Our site was a fairly level gravel back-in. Electric was only 15 amp and I had to use a long extension cord and adapter to use it. Sewer connection was a home made affair with a corrugated pipe inside a wooden box that had a hole in the side where my sewer connector got pushed into the pipe. With my sewer support I was able to get a sold fit, but I have never seen such a wonky set up. No cable TV, but a couple of weak analog channels off the antenna. Wi-Fi was available near the office only. I don't think I would bother coming back here again. - Onemoretrail

21 of the 43 sites may be reserved. It is far from the highway and up a fairly steep hill. The road is paved but breaking up. There is an over flow camping area which I stayed in. Generator hours are 9 to 11 a.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. The cheapest dump site is at the Visitor's Center in Fernie. Potable water is available in the Park. I would stay here again. - User3761

No host on site, registration is on the honor system.

Jul 2015 - $27.00
There are 52 unserviced (no power) sites and 30 with power. They advertise 15 amp, but all outlets are 30 amp.
There is one serviced site (#1), with power, water and sewer. But it is marked "host", but unoccupied.
There is a notice that the water spigots (three?) may be out due to construction, and they were at the time we were there.
A number of the serviced sites a marked "reserved" and are supposed to be occupied only by reservation. At the time we were there, none were.
This campground is very quiet, even with the near-by bridge rebuilding.
Due to the bridge work the "up the hill" Old Man Recreation site is not easily available, so the dump-site, shower, etc are not easily accessible (a long drive around is required).
The "bathhouses" on site are all pit-toilets (with electric lights).
We would stay here again. - wetterwashington

The good: Clean park. Easy access. Long sites. Everything looks clean. Nice views and right beside a 9 hole golf course. The bad: Right between the highway and train tracks. The highway didn't bother us, but the trains going through at night blowing their horns did. No Wi-Fi at the site...although I did get a really weak signal at one point. To use the Wi-Fi you have to go to the laundry room. - AloraDanin

Fantastic campground! Lovely views and very helpful and pleasant staff. Helped us park so we could make the most of the magnificent views. Plenty of space on grassed sites. Good 30amp electric and water. Sewer dump station on site. Wi-Fi in office area only, but very good overall. 2 local channels on TV. Nice location for visiting Waterton Lakes NP. Would definitely recommend this campground if you like peace and quiet away from everything. Nearest shopping is Cardston about 45 mins away. We did not stay over the weekend, but they do have barn dances and meals at weekends, which we heard were excellent. Would stay here again. - mcquin

This campground is family-run in a rural setting, accessible on paved roads. They serve a roast beef dinner each Fri. and Sat. night and also offer barn dance lessons and other musical events. The campsites are set around a pond. Canoes are available to use. Toilet and shower facilities are available on the main side of the grounds but not the far side. Beautifully framed by the Canadian Rockies and an hour away from Waterton National Park. - gbburgess

This is a small quiet provincial park. It is about 16 km south of Fort Steele on a secondary highway and quite close to Cranbrook, BC. It is well kept but there is no water hookup or electricity. Across the road is very pretty Norbury Lake which is turquoise in colour. It is very scenic. Deer are plentiful in this area so be careful when driving. According to the on site caretaker, there is a small 2 year old male bear in the area so make sure he doesn't scavage food so he won't be put down or relocated. This is a nice little park to stay in. The lots are also generous. - motorgo

This park was not good for our 40' motorhome and car but we found a double site and fit in for one night. We parked as far over to one site as possible with our slides. However, the manager came over about 7pm and asked us to move further over. There were plenty of empty sites available at this time of night & we couldn't believe he was worried about someone wanting to park so close next to us. If they did, they would have had enough room to pull in next to us. We told him this and said we wouldn't break everything down to move over a foot. So he charged us double. The sites are uneven with many trees to maneuver between. The campground roads were very dusty with people speeding through. It's a typical government campground with no facilities except for a reasonably clean vault toilet. There is a water faucet but no dump. This campground is reached by way of the side paved road which comes at a junction just north of Fort Steele at Hwy 93, 18 NE of Cranbrook. This side road reconnects at Hwy 93 approximately 20 miles south. From the north intersection go approximately 10 miles south on the side road. The campground is on the west side of the road. Across the road is Peckham's Lake and a day use area for swimming or boating, but power boats aren't allowed. There is a short trail from the campground to Norbury Lake but folks didn't seem to use this lake. - nbi600

We were placed in a field with hookups. The site was extremely unlevel and we were not even sure where our site ended and the next one began. We were placed in an area with no restroom and no shelter from the winds in spite of placing a reservation for our tent trailer a month before. Restroom had bird poop inside. Did not try the showers. Paid for 2 nights but after 70 mph winds and little sleep we left after one. Location is the ONLY thing this place has going for it! We would NOT stay here again! - frankltd

The nightly fee was $30 plus $5 for wi-fi. The Wi-fi was very slow and did not work sometimes. I don't think it was worth the additional $5. There is a gravel road, down in a small valley. We still had good view of mountains around the Waterton Park area. It is a ten minute drive into Waterton Park and town site. There is Buffalo viewing within one mile. There are few trees in park. It can be very windy. - shadetree

This is a very nice campground located on a lake near the small town of Granum. We stayed in one of the rear pull-through sites with 30 amp electric and water in the open with no trees. We did not have our cell phones or MiFi on while in Canada and could not pick up the campground Wi-Fi at our site. We were able to use our rooftop DirecTV satellite. Did not use the bathhouse or laundry. Owners were very friendly and helpful. There is a local fuel station, but be careful because they only accept debit or cash. We would stay here again if in the area. - roadking

Park-like setting - grass and big trees; very pretty and quiet. We found gravel sites to be quite level. We are PA, so paid half rate ($12.50). We didn't realize they had 30 amp; we chose our site based on tree location for our satellite dish, which is mounted on the roof of our motorhome. So 15 amp wasn't adequate to run more than one appliance (threw the breaker a few times), but was fine for one night. Would stay here again. - mjac

Campground is about six kilometers east of Waterton Lakes National Park. There is a wonderful view of the mountains from this campground. The problem is the amperage for the electricity. The service is 30 amp, but it is a very weak 30 amps. It was cold and rainy while we were here. Usually, we run 2 portable electric heaters on 30 amps to keep us warm, but we couldn't run even one of the heaters without losing power. The park is nice, though, and the grounds are well-maintained. If you plan to be here when neither heat or air conditioning is needed, it's a great place to camp at while visiting Waterton Lakes National Park. - Bobbi1948

Love this campground. We had car problems so this was an easy walk into town, marina,etc.. The price includes the online reservation fee. While we could see the other campers there was enough room between sites. We enjoyed the shows at the Interpretive Center and the many paved walkways. Each night after dinner the deer came into the park. The only negative would be the numerous holes made by the ground squirrels. Some are break an ankle size. No fires due to dry conditions. - petpeople

This is a great place to stay. It is adjacent to the town of Waterton and the park has many great hiking and biking trails. The views are spectacular. The sites are spacious with many being pull through for easy access. The washrooms and showers are clean and plentiful. The only negative is that the sewer connection is in the centre of the site, under the RV. This creates a problem if you don't notice this until you are set up. - Camper_Guy

Stopped for one night. Very quiet with only a couple of other units on-site. Suspect it would be a bit crowded at busier times as the serviced sites are open and closed together. Check in was quick and friendly. Campground is a bit worn but just fine for a few days. Staff were friendly and accommodating and let is pick out site. Power, water and WiFi were good. Restrooms were clean and looked recently updated. Best access was of Hwy 3. Would stop in again. - sfw1058

This is a park in serious need of a clean-up. There are junk or storage car/trucks everywhere. Doesn't deserve the good rating in Woodalls 2015. Nice river at back but really no way to access or sit by unless you are adventurous to climb a rocky dike. Piles of broken equipment, tables and all around junk. Electric sites are packed in like sardines. Still they allowed campfires if you paid, so the place was smoke-filled into the night. Site 46 with just 15 amps - no water or sewer, but nice shade to back into, but watch low tree branches. - FlyEasternAir
Jul 2015 - $43.00
Since there aren't a lot of options in the area as far as other campgrounds, you kind of have to make do with this place. Older park, a lot of upgrades are needed: water connections was leaking bad and creating a huge puddle in the back of the site, electric hookup was scary (closed my eyes and prayed for the best when I hooked up), sewer connection is in a chunk of concrete that is broken, therefore leaking odours...
Lots ans lots and lots of traffic, no one cares about the speed limit, and they don't enforce it... Playground is an accident waiting to happen...
But since there aren't any other campground nearby, I guess this is what you're stuck with. Staff are very helpful and friendly though.
Laundromat needs major cleanup and upgrade. - Merveilleuse

- 4th-Gen Intel Core i7 / i5/ i3 (LGA1150)
Typical Asus Awesomeness!! 06/09/2013
This review is from: ASUS Z87-PRO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
I love Asus boards. They are rock solid performers and chock full of features. This board has everything you can ask for and more. Runs well and with no complaints. UEFI BIOS is nice. You can move favorite items around to a specific screen to get quick access to everything. Being able to use a mouse in the BIOS is nice too.
The nicest thing about this board is it doesn't have any stupid PCI or IDE slots taking up space on the board. What person buying such a high performance board is going to bother hooking up older, slower components to this beast?!
The board is chock full of overclock options. Other than the memory (I have GSkill DDR3 2133 memory), I haven't bothered with overclocking. For those who are heavy into this board, this board is their wet dream.
Aesthetically speaking, this board looks sweet as well. It's easily the best board I've ever seen. I've put several systems together for me and my friends.
My complaints are few, minor, and mostly not worth worrying about:
- I scratch my head about some features on this board. I think Asus was so eager to add features to this board they might have went too far to just have several bullet points on the ol' spec sheet. The USB 3.0+ charger is an example. Only one USB port can do this and it is on the back of the case in an odd spot. No big deal you say, I can hook up an extension cable. Alas, the manual says such a cable or even a hub is not supported for this feature. Considering most people will put their system in or under a desk, most people won't bother with this feature. There are other features like this that make me wonder.
- The memory slots are a bit to close which makes me wonder about cooling the memory sticks. An extra 16th of inch space between each slot would've worked wonders. Additionally, the way the memory goes in it is easy to think the memory is seated properly when it is not.
Other Thoughts:
Upgrading from a Core 2 Quad 3 Ghz 9650 system, I was not all that impressed with the Haswell CPU. However, the features of this board and its chipset make the upgrade worth it.
This board is typical Asus rock solidness, works fast, and is packed full of features. This is a no brainer. Get it. Now.

Buttressed by engaging prose and vivid graphics, Erik Millstone and Tim Lang convincingly argue that human progress depends on resolving global inequality and creating a more sustainable food production system.

Wow this is beautiful! I'm a new Thorki lover and am SO glad to find this site. You're very talented, and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work!
*flails* (I'm spamming kinda cuz I want there to be 69 comments... I have succeeded)
*takes screenshot*
*takes screenshot*
This is so adorable! I can't even!
So fab!
I LOVE the fact that Loki's eyes are open, staring into nowhere - it gives a sense of absolute despair and submission.
*adds to favorites bcos fangirl* XD
What Loki's thinking:
Ow Hair, Ow Hair, Ow Hair, Ow Hair...
this pose is soo damn cool!!
Masterfully done from shading to color and highlight, plus it has a feel of deep integrity and bliss to it, in other words it's awesome
I luv cho' art > u <
I luv cho' art > u <
Tihick, I love that blisful look in his eyes
there's somethig about it... Loki is staring into space without seeing and Thor's eyes are closed like he just dosen't want to see Loki like this. fantastic!
This is so perfect ;A;
absolutely awesome
i love it ♥
absolutely awesome
i love it ♥
Wow! This is so beautiful! I love how realistic it is and the textures
This is absolutely fabulous! Brilliant work!
Oh man, this. This right here. <3
This is so beautiful. Oh my gods ;D
You like this stuff too? After seeing the movie I've fallen in love with it.
Yes! (fancy seeing you here).
Same. Both characters are just so well executed.
Same. Both characters are just so well executed.
Indeed. Wish they did more with Loki in The Avengers though. (Haven't seen Thor.) He was pretty one-sided...typical ruthless bad guy. One reason why I prefer fanfics: the good ones make him a well-developed character.
Definitely. I saw Thor, and that was actually where I fell in love with Loki(oh the irony, I liked Thor more in The Avengers and Loki in Thor). Because in that movie, you can see his steep descent into ruthless villain, and you see that deep down, maybe he's not all that bad anymore. They have a really amazing relationship, especially in the beginning of the movie.
And I agree.
And I agree.
Thank You I'm glad You like it
Hot damn! Is it me or is it getting a little warm in here? ;D
soooooooooo seeeeeexxxxxxyyyyyyyyy
Very, very nice! Especially the hair-pulling bit. I like Loki's expression, he looks just so unsure of what's happening!
the passion in the eyes, its so gooooooooooooood
I love this on so many levels. Its complicated, like they are. The art is stunning. The color is gorgeous. The expressions are fantastic. The hair pulling is such a turn on, too. All I can say is WOW!
Wow,how I wish there were more people like you,I like your comment and I'm glad You like the picture Thank you so much !
Beautiful, but disturbing; I can't tell if Loki is willing or unwilling or in shock or even no longer alive.... *wibbles*
This is very complicated ,originally I want to draw the muzzle-thing,but if I draw it,the picture would be a little bit crouded :S The face of Loki is an other case,it's a "little" bit expressionless,I want to draw that moment when he saw the muzzle,but after the shock.Soo. . .the picture loss its sense,when I omission the muzzle.But after all,I still love your comment and say thank you for your remark I am glad,that I receive a comment that is not only appreciatively,but I can learn from it.Thank You so much

Do you have a hyper hound who is hard to train? The PetSafe Stubborn Dog Underground Fence is quick and easy to install, reliable and safe, and a very effective solution.
The PetSafe Stubborn Dog Collar has four levels of correction plus vibration in the warning area for an added deterrent. Even dogs that resist training respond well to this system. With 4 higher-intensity settings, these harmless electrical stimulations work so effectively that most dogs will learn to stop in their tracks at the sounds of the early warning tone before any stimulation. Plus, its vibration option is ideal for hearing-impaired or senior dogs!
Some dogs were born to test limits. But the Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence system sets firm boundaries that you'll quickly train them to understand. Here's how it works. You'll set the boundary by burying wires around the perimeter of your yard. Your dog wears a collar that picks up the signal from the transmitter. As your dog nears the boundary wires, a beep alerts your dog, giving them a chance to stop without any correction. For those that continue, a safe static correction reminds them to stay in the area you've established. Simply adjust the correction level if your dog continues to test the boundaries. After about 2 weeks of training, even the most stubborn dogs can start enjoying their new yard freedom! And for hearing-impaired or senior dogs who simply can't detect the beep, there's a special vibration mode. Your furry friends will certainly thank you for the extra help in keeping them safe!
Cut Your Pet Fence Installation Time in HALF & Avoid The Task of Burying Wire. Use Our "Pet Fence Staples" to Install Your Underground Fence - Above Ground! Learn About Above Ground Pet Fence Installation.
This Pet Fence Kit includes everything you need to contain one pet in a yard up to 1/3 acre. With additional wire and flags and dog fence collars, you can enclose up to 10 acres and contain an unlimited number of pets.
Factory Grade Wire
This is the wire included in all self-install kits. Regardless of gauge, this wire is of medium quality, lighter weight and keeps shipping and initial costs down. This wire will work but does not hold up to the elements as well as a professional grade wire. The vinyl wire coating is prone to cracks and over time exposes the copper leaving the wire susceptible to damage. This can cause issues that impact the functionality of your dog fence system. Since finding, digging up, and repairing wire breaks can be a tedious job at best, many people prefer to upgrade to a pro-grade wire from the start.
Heavy Duty Grade Wire
The initial cost of heavy duty grade wire is a bit more than manufacturer grade wire. However, there are many benefits to choosing heavy duty wire for your dog fence. Heavy Duty grade dog fence wire holds up better to freezing conditions, sunlight exposure, contraction and expansion of the ground, water exposure and general wear and tear. The long term savings in time and replacement if you are planning on staying in your home for at least a year or more, makes the heavier duty wire a much better investment.

PetSafe Stubborn Dog Underground Fence was easy to install and is very effective. We are very happy with the results.
Posted by Sam on Jan 23rd 2012
I used the two wire layout as a loop wasn't possible. It installed easily with just a shovel turning up the ground and laying the wire in the cut. Following the directions the fence worked the first time.
Posted by SuzieQ on Jan 23rd 2012
This is the one product (we've used others) that really works for our dog. We replaced an older model collar, and after one trip into the "vibration only" zone, our dog stays back closer to the house, right where we want him. This is a great product, great service!

My neighbor and I have 8 acres (4 each) and we have three extra large dogs between us. We got a "wild hare" to install underground fencing on ALL 8 ACRES! We have 90% woods, with several streams and wetlands. The system works just like it said, we were innovative when going through the wet areas and everything has worked like a charm. All three dogs are trained and doing well with this system.
Posted by Jewellady on Jan 5th 2012
We live in a neighborhood on a 5 acre lot. Our dog Buddy needs to be able to be outside but with boundaries and this has worked perfect. I would highly recommend. Thanks for a great product.

i love my invisible fence,i dont worry anymore about my dog running the streets and getting hit by a car . it worth my peace of mind...its such a good feeling knowing that my dog is safe in my yard,,,,,i highly recomend it,
Posted by Lucy on Dec 20th 2011
I recently bought I home that had an existing older RadioFence; however the transmitter was blown. I replaced the transmitter with a new one which works great; the only confusing thing was that the older system had a 3rd wire for a ground which the new transmitter didn't seem to accommodate. It was a bit confusing but I just left the ground wire out and it appears to work fine. We have a St. Bernard and have the system on the lowest setting and it keeps her around!
There is one draw back; I have the width of the boundary warning turned up as high as it will go but there is little to know warning before the shock. I assume that is because my system incorporates about 4 acres.

I have a very stuborn beagle mix dog. She would see an animal and be gone hunting. I installed this fence and she now wont go near the fence. The only con I have is I have to reset the power unit every so often. it stops sending signal.
Posted by BrianW on Dec 20th 2011
Once my dog had a taste of life outside our fence, there was no stopping him from digging a new hole - almost every day. After installing the wire at the base of the fence (couple of hours total,) my problem was solved. Now, Wilbur doesn't even try to go by the fence - even when he is not wearing his collar.
Posted by OBX teacher on Dec 19th 2011
We have a German Short-haired pointer who lives to hunt and chase birds. He runs like a race horse, and it is funny to watch him run from one end of the yard, about 1/2 acre, to the other at full throttle and come to a screeching halt. The other thing I like is that is takes a basic 9volt, easy to get, battery. Those specialty, expensive, hard to find batteries are a pain.

Chipley – Beginning Monday night, January 31, Monroe Street commuters can expect intermittent lane closures between State Road (SR) 61 (Thomasville Road) and Perkins Street. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) recently awarded Capital Asphalt a $2.5 million contract to resurface Monroe Street, repair sidewalks, replace non-compliant curb ramps and pedestrian signal features throughout the project limits. The 280-day project will be constructed at night between the hours of 8 p.m. and 7 a.m.
The contractor will not be permitted to close sidewalks between Gaines Street and Tennessee Street February 14 through May 13, the weekend of FSU and FAMU home football games, or during Springtime Tallahassee and holidays.
Motorists and pedestrians are reminded to use caution while traveling through the construction zone, speeding violations double when workers are present.

Rights continue to fade awayJuly 05,2014As you all know, we are celebrating the Fourth of July, the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. Many Americans are out and about, having cookouts, setting off fireworks and enjoying their lives.
But as much as Id like to wave a flag and have a grand ol time. I know that the land of the free has taken many steps in the wrong direction. In 2012 President Barack Obama signed into law the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act). This act gave the U.S. government the right to indefinitely detain any U.S. citizen without trial, forever.
And even scarier, they dont even need to tell people that you have been taken. This is an egregious violation of our rights. President Obama pledged to shut down Gitmo, to repeal the Patriot Act, to pull us from Iraq. And he has barely achieved one.
And, as you know if you watch the news, troops are being sent back. So wave your flags and set off your fireworks. Your rights continue to slip away.

My kids live in a company-provided home that (allegedly) has asbestos siding. It is not asphalt siding, it is a very rigid hard white material that is quite brittle and breaks easily. The squares are about 12 x 8 inches. The house may be 40 years old and is in Arizona. Are you familiar with such materials, and are they likely to present a health hazard?
- Forum >
- Miscellaneous >
- Asbestos Siding
This is a common siding material and does not pose a hazard unless it is cut with saws, sanded or broken into small pieces. Asbestos content is normally around 15% is is usually chrysotile variety. Keeping the siding in good condition, and routine painting is the best management. If repair or removal is necessary, there are both DIY and contractor solutions; also, the siding can be covered over with non-asbestos types like vinyl or cement (Hardie) siding. Would be glad to help further if you have specific questions.
Thanks for the quick response, Tom. This is a ranch house so there is really not much my kids are able to do because it is owned by the ranch. However, knowing that this siding is relatively safe is helpful because they have 2 small children. This material acts lots like concrete and it probably retains the asbestos fibers pretty well.

Well, I will admit that I don't have much to say on this topic, and I really haven't yet - I haven't objected to any of the major ideas that have been around for a while ('for a while' meaning, of course, the initial response of "WHAT CLOSE THE FFL NOOOOO"). I do, however, understand that the sticky problem is definitely unhelpful - and, just to try and get a solution out there, is there any way that we could condense the various stickies into one thread? Or to shave off some of the unnecessary ones, at least? For example, I think we can safely un-sticky and move the Pokémon Fanfiction Challenge that hasn't been looked at since two years ago. Having a dated sticky, as well as making the whole thing look generally more daunting - which is exactly what we're trying to stop - also makes us look like an either inactive community or one that doesn't really care about what it looks like. (Yes, I know I'm making a big deal out of this image thing; blame my father for bringing me up that way.)
I'm going to start tonight by reviewing a story. Though I'm not going to be happy if I'm the only one reviewing.

Culture shock was a big part of Deborah Hightshue's first year at Edinburgh Community High School: She was making the transition from teaching university students in France to teaching American middle and high school students.
More than 40 years ago, Hightshue was in Europe, teaching through a fellowship she received from the University of Illinois, when she started applying for jobs back in America. She'd heard that jobs for teachers were scarce and that she needed to apply while she was still overseas, meaning she knew almost nothing about the school districts she was applying to.
The first application Hightshue mailed was to Edinburgh. The school district quickly hired her, and she's spent the past 41 years teaching French and English at the high school. Hightshue also coached the high school's English Academic Super Bowl Team, which won the championship in its division at this year's state competition.
Hightshue, who went to Pike High School on the northwest side of Indianapolis, was interested in becoming a teacher largely because of her grandmother and godmother. Both were teachers, and her godmother started sending her books to read while she was young.
"It was just kind of a teacher-student role with both women that I caught on to," Hightshue said.
Hightshue earned a bachelor's degree from Ball State University and then went to graduate school at the University of Illinois, which is where she received the fellowship that sent her to the University of Nancy for a year.
In her first year at Edinburgh in 1973, her biggest challenge was transitioning from working with college students to trying to convince teens why they needed to learn the English and French lessons she was teaching.
"They just didn't understand immediately that what they were going to learn was important," she said.
Hightshue started coaching Edinburgh students in the Academic Super Bowl about 28 years ago. She initially coached the high school's English, fine arts and social studies teams; but after the high school hired more teachers, she stopped coaching the fine arts and social studies teams.
She didn't have a goal for the team during this year's season. But team members, who placed fourth at the state competition last year and didn't receive medals, wanted to win medals this year, she said.
The team spent the school year reading and rereading material they knew they could be asked throughout the season, and their first-place finish was the first state championship Hightshue was a part of.
"That was wonderful," she said. "I was shocked — pleasantly shocked."

April 9 2013
The lack of major advances in a given time period may not seem surprising. After all, major advances are like earthquakes: they occur at unpredictable intervals, with little prior warning before their emergence. Perhaps we are on the cusp of a new discovery and none of us – except, possibly, its authors – are aware of that. That is possible, but I am no longer sure that it's likely. If it doesn't happen, then it seems clear to me that we are getting ever closer to reaching general purpose programming language's speed of light—the point beyond which they cannot go.
Programming languages cannot grow in size forever
The basis of my argument is simple:
L1 has 20 features, of
which 6 are complex and 14 simple, the cognitive cost is similar to
L2 which has 3 complex and 17 simple features.
This doesn't sound too bad, until one considers the following:
L1 from
L2, we
must already have understood features ranging from variables to recursion,
from built-in datatypes to evaluation order.
Programming languages' core
The overly earnest teenage boy that lives within all of us wants to believe that
programming languages are massively different. At any given moment, someone
with a nihilistic bent and an internet connection can find fans of different
programming languages fighting pitched battles where language
The reality is that, since the late 1950s, programming languages have steadily been converging towards a stable core of features. That core has proven itself sufficiently good to allow us to develop huge pieces of software. However, it leaves our brain surprisingly little capacity to understand new features. Try and do too much in one language, and problems accrue. We long ago developed the technical ability to create programming languages too complicated for any single person to fully understand. C++ is the standard (though not the only) example of this, and far be it for me not to pick on an easy target. As far as I can tell, not a single person on the planet understands every aspect of C++, not even Stroustrup. This is problematic because one always lives in fear of looking at a C++ program and finding uses of the language one doesn't understand. At best, individuals have to continually look up information to confirm what's going on, which limits productivity. At worse, people misinterpret programs due to gaps in their understanding; this introduces new bugs and allows old bugs to hide in plain view.
In an ideal world, we would be able to understand programming languages in
a modular fashion. In other words, if I don't use a feature
Better education?
A reasonable question to ask is whether this ability to exceed the human brain's capacity is a temporary one, due to poor education. As time goes on, we tend to become better at condensing and passing on knowledge. I have heard it said, for example, that what might have baffled an early 20th century physics PhD student is now considered a basic part of an undergraduate education (since I struggled with physics as soon as it became semi-mathematical, I am not in a position to judge). Perhaps, given time, we can teach people the same number of concepts that they know now, but at a lower cognitive cost.
I do expect some movement along these lines, but I'm not convinced it will make a fundamental difference. It seems unlikely that programming students of the future will find it substantially easier to learn recursion or iteration, to pick two semi-random examples. Every language needs to choose at least one of these concepts. Of the two, most people find recursion harder to grasp, but nested iteration doesn't come naturally to many people either. Those of us who've been programming for many years consistently underestimate how difficult newcomers find it. Starting programming education from a young age might change this dynamic, but it's difficult to imagine that sufficient quantities of competent programmers will move to become teachers, at least in the short term.
Better language design
Let's assume, briefly, that you agree that C++ is too complex but are wondering whether its difficulties are due to bad design rather than size. Perhaps all I've really done so far is point out that badly designed languages overload our brains sooner than well designed ones? There is clearly some truth in this but, again, I'm not sure that it fundamentally changes the landscape.
Let's take two statically typed functional languages as an example of more considered language design: Scala and Haskell. Both languages aim to stop users shooting themselves in the foot through the use of expressive type systems. Maybe by constraining users, we can help our brains absorb more general language concepts? Alas, I am not convinced. Some of the things Haskell and Scala's type systems can express are astonishing; but I have also seen each type system baffle world-renowned experts. Type systems, like any other language feature, do not come for free. Even if we could design a perfect programming language, I doubt it could be much larger than such languages are today.
What the above means is that the space for a major advance in general purpose programming languages is limited. The analogy with the speed of light works well here too. As an object's speed approaches the speed of light, the energy required to accelerate it reaches infinity, which is why a normal object can't ever travel at the speed of light. Worse, the energy required is non-linear, so the closer you get to the speed of light, constant increases in energy lead to ever-slower acceleration. Language design is rather like that. Beyond a certain point, every feature – no matter how well designed – has a disproportionate cost. It takes longer to understand, longer to learn how to use idiomatically, and longer to understand its interactions with other features.
The tooling that surrounds programming languages has changed significantly in the last two decades. Most developers now use huge IDEs [1], which offer a variety of ways to understand and manipulate programs. Verification techniques and tools have made major advances [2]. And whole new styles of tools now exist. To take two examples: Valgrind allows one to analyse dangerous run-time behaviour in a way that can significantly tame the danger of even unsafe languages such as C; Moose allows one to gain a reasonable high-level understanding of large programs in a fraction of the time it takes to wade through source code by hand.
Clearly, such tooling will only increase in quantity and quality as we
move forwards. But will it help us understand programming languages more
effectively? Again, I expect it to help a bit, but not to make a fundamental
difference. Perhaps future editors will have the ability to simplify code
until we

How do I live, knowing I have forgotten him.
How do I breathe, knowing I am not with him.
How do I find him, if he is already gone.
The answer avails me, as I am deep in a midnight trance.

4 Tips to Extend Your Lithium Battery Life:
- Battery Memory - When I first got my new cellphone, my friend recommended to fully drain the battery before recharging it. His reasoning was connected to the idea of battery memory. Allowing the battery to fully discharge then recharging to max, supposedly gives you the complete battery capacity. Otherwise, if you simply charged from the half way point to max battery capacity, the battery would treat the half way point as the empty point, thus cutting your battery capacity in half
- Battery Calibration - There are some benefits to fully discharging your lithium battery periodically, for laptops this can be especially important. If you start to notice your battery meter becoming more and more inaccurate, it may be time for some battery calibration. Allow your lithium battery completely drain, then charge until the battery is full again. This will calibrate your battery giving you more accurate readings
- Consequences of Heat - Another enemy of lithium battery life is heat. If you were to leave your laptop plugged in and running for a year, you should expect the lithium battery capacity to be anywhere between 60% to 80% of it's original max capacity. This is why people that use their laptops as desktop replacements will notice greatly reduced battery life performance after one year of use. This issue can be resolved by removing the battery while using a corded power source
- Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using your lithium battery for prolonged periods of time, then you'll want to reduce the charge level to 40% and place the battery in the fridge (not freezer). Storing the battery at 100% charge level applies unnecessary stress and can cause internal corrosion. On the other hand, if the charge is too low, the battery can become permanently unusable, due to battery self discharge
- Charging the batteries when only a small amount of power has been used is hard on them, and will reduce their life span
- Try to let the batteries completely discharge before putting them on the charger
- Many electronic items, including digital cameras, portable game systems and music players use rechargeable batteries
- The choice to use rechargeable batteries helps reduce chemical waste, and is a cost savings for the user over time
- Rechargeable batteries are used for flashlight
- The pictures of our Battery are real and if there is something tinny difference, please ignore
What is lithium-ion batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries (sometimes abbreviated Li-ion batteries) are a type of rechargeable battery in which a lithium ion moves between the anode and cathode. The lithium ion moves from the anode to the cathode during discharge and in reverse, from the cathode to the anode, when charging. Lithium-ion batteries can be formed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes so as to efficiently fill available space in the devices they power. They're generally much lighter than other types of rechargeable batteries of the same size. The electrodes of a lithium-ion battery are made of lightweight lithium and carbon. Lithium is also a highly reactive element, meaning that a lot of energy can be stored in its atomic bonds. This translates into a very high energy density for lithium-ion batteries. Plus there is no issue with the memory effect, like the nickel-cadium does. When a nickel-cadium battery is recharged before it discharges the majority of its power, it essentially "forgets" that it could fully discharge to begin with. This problem is termed the memory effect.
What is lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery?
It's a high energy density, 3.6V/3.7V battery that is not compatible with ordinary batteries, but is widely used in the portable equipment market. It uses lithium metallic oxide (LixCoO2, LiNiO2, LiMnO4) in its positive electrode (cathode) and carbon material (LiXC6) in its negative electrode (anode), with electrolyte LiPF6, LiAsF6 etc, and the Lithium ions inside the battery transfer between the positive electrode and the negative electrode during charge or discharge, namely Rocking Chair Batteries (RCB).
Lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery similar to the Lithium-ion but with a solid polymer as electrolyte. Some gelled conductive material is added to promote conductivity. It utilizes the latest technology to become available for consumer use in products such as portable computers, PDA, cellular phones, blue tooth, portable DVD and military electronics etc. Lithium-ion polymer batteries have high voltage per cell, and excellent energy on both a weight and volume basis. Additionally, they can be made in very thin and large footprint configurations. Lithium-ion polymer batteries use liquid Lithium-ion electrochemistry in a matrix of conductive polymers that eliminate free electrolyte within the cell. For operating effectively over a broad range of temperatures and conditions, Lithium-ion polymer batteries contain no metallic Lithium anodes.
About Rechargeable Batteries:
- Sometimes called a storage battery, a rechargeable battery consists of multiple cells. This enables the electrochemical reaction that powers the battery to be reversed. Using a charger, these batteries can be recharged many times. Rechargeable batteries are used in automobiles, consumer electronics, storage for solar arrays and electrical vehicles.
- The most common types of rechargeable batteries are lead-acid, nickel cadmium, alkaline, nickel metal hydride and lithium ion. Lithium ion batteries are considered the most advanced rechargeable battery type and are used in most contemporary consumer electronics.
- Rechargeable batteries come in many shapes and sizes from automobile lead-acid type batteries to laptop and small digital camera batteries. The size is determined by the type of technology used and the design of the device in which the battery will be placed.
- The main feature of a rechargeable battery is self-evident--it can be charged multiple times. Secondary features that differ depending on the type of battery include:
- Self-Discharge: This effect occurs within the battery cells causing the battery to lose power over time even when not in use.
- Memory Effect: An effect mostly witnessed in Nickel Cadmium batteries, the battery seems to lose its maximum energy capacity if charged multiple times without being fully discharged.
- Energy-to-Mass Ratio: This refers to the energy density of the battery.
- Currently, Lithium ion batteries are the best performing rechargeable batteries if considering the above features.
- Many people avoid rechargeable batteries when given a choice because of a perceived higher cost. When you consider that rechargeable batteries can be reused multiple times, the savings of using them as opposed to one use batteries becomes clear
- Strongly suggest you use the protected battery for it can really protect your battery well and extend your battery life as well as avoid the over-charging and over-discharging of your battery
- We are not responsible for the broken of the battery and charger for your users' wrong using methods
- Rechargeable batteries that have been in storage for weeks or months will lose power and need to be recharged before being used

No impact to Hunlock plant from proposed EPA rules
Proposed stricter federal regulations won't affect the UGI Energy Services Hunlock power station on Route 11 in Luzerne County.
The facilities primarily targeted in the EPA Clean Power Plan proposal are coal-fired. The Hunlock Twp. plant, UGI's last coal-burning facility in Northeast Pennsylvania — a region once famous for anthracite coal mining — converted to natural gas in early 2011.
UGI spokesman Joe Swope said the Hunlock plant was an older facility, in operation since the 1920s, and "UGI extended its expected life multiple times"
Besides the plant's obsolescence, federal emissions requirements were becoming more stringent, and it became a matter of whether it was economical to continue burning coal to generate electricity, even before the new standards were in place. The EPA can fine power plants for violations of the Clean Air Act.
The additional factor that spurred the conversion was the abundance of natural gas from wells in Northeast Pennsylvania.
