4 full hook-up RV sites but small and close together. Our 32 foot MH was about as big as would easily fit. Hook-ups at back of site. Has dock on Caribou Lake and we heard good fishing. 4 miles west of the town of DeTour Village but a easy drive. No showers or bathrooms. Mainly for fishermen and small trailers. 1 site would only fit a pop-up or Roadtrek. I found out about it from the Chamber of Commerce - not in any books that I could find. I would stay again if level of site improved and no one was using the pop-up site. It was quiet - could hear loons - deer walked across lawn in am. - pegdiver

Beautiful new park on a small bay on the St. Mary river. Most sites, some pull-in, some back-in, offer views up the bay onto the main river. Ore boats can be viewed making their turn around Lime Island. Big rig friendly. Our site was huge, providing ample room for our 37' motorhome and our minivan. Adjacent sites, measured by me, were 65' and 70'. Full hookups and firewood for sale. I had Directv and great ATT on my site. Owner rebuilt a small marina to include a couple of docks and a boat launch. Campground is quiet and natural. No outdoor lighting obscured our nighttime star viewing. As mentioned, gated access so reservations required. Owners replied promptly to texts and emails when coordinating reservations and access. Bring your canoe or kayaks as the campground area would be perfect for either. Will camp here again. - Pirate

First, we did not stay here. We visited the campground while we were staying in Cedarville. This would be a great place to stay if you want to stay in a secluded, quiet waterfront site with and abundance of wildlife. We saw two pairs of nesting swans during our visit. The parking pad for a rig is hard-gravel, surrounded by well maintained grass areas. We met the very friendly owner who lives next door. She and her husband recently built the campground. I believe about 6 sites are waterfront and in the open while the remaining ones are in a wooded area. We would consider staying here in the future. Not a problem for a 33' motorhome but might be challenging for anything over 37' long. - gatordan

New campground on private point on Sweets Bay, north of DeTour Village. Full hookups only, no bathrooms or showers available. Good electric and water hookups. Some sewer hookups allow Class As to pull head in for a view. Gated park at end of narrow road, reservations only as no turn around in front of the gate. Shallow bay but access to Saint Mary's River. Able to put our canoe in the water and follow the channel out. Two docks rebuilt so far. Boat ramp. Wonderful wildlife when we visited - bald eagles, sandhill cranes, snipe, swans nesting, deer, blue birds... Sites are mostly level with a view or with privacy. Our Verizon cell wouldn't work in Campground but understand AT&T does work. Was able to connect with Wi-Fi and cell in town and up the road on Sweets Point. (Deducted 1 point for that since we didn't know). Firewood on sale for $4 - self serve, a nice bundle. Hated to leave - want to go back. - pegdiver

We camped at Wa-Wen for 4 nights with another couple. It is a lovely campground overlooking marshland with access to the channel and Lake Huron. It is a small campground and approximately half of the sites are seasonal. Sites are nicely spaced apart, hookups are convenient, many pull throughs, and the gravel pads are level. The Wi-Fi worked fairly well (no worse than any other campground). No tree problems for satellite TV reception. Bathrooms are convenient, spacious, and very clean. The owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. It was our first Jeep trip to Drummond Island, and they recommended routes for us to take, along with local tips for enjoyment. When we returned, both muddy and dusty, they directed us to their power washer for a quick Jeep shower. They have constructed an osprey nest in the marsh just off from their docks, and we have great pictures of this nesting bird. We rented a pontoon boat from the owners for 1/2 day and had a wonderful time on the water, riding along the shoreline and between the many surrounding islands. Their rental fee was very fair and half the price of similar rentals nearby. We will definitely stay here again! - RagTopDay

Flight of fancy: A cardboard sculpture by Daniel Agdag.
The flights of fancy Daniel Agdag crafts with a scalpel from cardboard take months to make, and he thought of the theme for his solo show, The Principles of Aerodynamics, well before the recent international incidents which made air travel again such a source of anxiety.
On now at MARS Gallery, the exhibition presents six fantastical machines – there are flying hot-rods and Jules Verne-style air balloons – as well as a larger hanging mobile.
"There's actually a running theme to it all," Agdag says. "They all have little suitcases – to sum it up, these are all my attempts to escape and all the suitcases represent my baggage and all of these devices will hopefully take flight with that baggage aboard."
Agdag began making art after making sets for animated films. He still does that – he has a Screen Australia-funded short in production – but says he enjoys the immediacy of sculpture. He spends "only" two months cutting and gluing each piece.

Hello Ladies,
First time making a post in this group, but I have been reading most or all of the posts lately. My husband and I are separated, and I plan on filing soon. I am a SAHM and student right now, and I was wondering how other SAHMs could afford an attorney.
I am in CA, and will be filing the petition myself. I'm not sure how stbxh will react, because he wants to "work on our relationship." He has been threatening me with all sorts of stupid stuff, and is petty and angry.
If I need an attorney, I don't know how I can pay for it. Is it standard for one party to ask the other party in a divorce to pay for their legal fees? If so, what portion? i don't want to be screwed because WE chose for me to stay at home. Thanks.

Book Reviews
established his reputation as one of the greatest scholars of the
American West of his generation.
University of California, Davis W. TURRENTINE JACKSON
The Great American Desert, Then And Now. By W. Eugene
Hollon. New York (Oxford University Press), 1966. Pp.
xi+284. Illustrations, maps, bibliographical notes, index.
This book discusses the 900,000 square miles of western desert
which extends from the center of Kansas to the Southern coast
of California and from Canada to Mexico. The survey begins
with prehistoric times and ends with suggestions about the future.
The most important topics treated are the Indians, the explorers,
the ranchers, the farmers, the Mormons, water resources, politics,
cities, a present-day travelogue and possible future developments.
A major theme of the book is how aridity has forced generations
of men, from the Pueblo Indians to modern industrialists, to adopt
their operation to an environment scarce in water. Another
theme is how Americans there have insisted they were ruggedly
independent but have repeatedly turned to federal authorities for
various kinds of aid beyond the financial resources of local
residences; the more Washington has helped them the more they
have distrusted the national government. A third theme is that
of individualistic achievements of the missionaries, fur traders,
explorers, and pioneer homesteaders. A fourth is the accomplish-
ments of cooperative efforts such as the irrigation canals in many
states and the Mormon development of Utah. A fifth is a political
history essentially conservative, except for the Populist Move-
ment, regardless of party labels. In some geographical areas, such
as southern Arizona, there have been many changes since the
first white men came; in others, like the rangelands of Nevada,
time seems almost to have stood still.
The Great American Desert, Then and Now distills the essence
of what many historians, geographers, anthropologists, political
scientists, economists and agricultural scientists have found out.
Thus the twenty pages Professor Hollon devotes to cattlemen is
admirable as a brief statement giving the most important facts

"Keeweechic's Orchha" Top 5 Page for this destination Orchha by keeweechic
Orchha Travel Guide: 183 reviews and 495 photos
Orchha is a small town in Madhya Pradesh on the road between Khadjuraho and Jhansi which was founded around the 16th century. It was once the capital of the Bundelkhand region. A Bundela Raiput chieftan by the name of Rudra Pratap founded the town as his capital. It remained the capital until 1738 which the Bundela King abandoned the town in favour of Tikamgarh.
The town sits on the banks of the Betwa river, actually on an island and is surrounded by hills and lush vegetation which provided necessary forest disguise during the violent medieval years. The richness and importance of the town can be seen in the crumbling palaces and chhatris which are dotted around the surrounding area. Probably the most notable of the palaces is the Jehangir (or Jahangir) Mahal which was built in 1626.
Orchha is a sleepy little town, steeped in the past, its name actually means "Hidden". It is probably overlooked by most but definitely work a stopover or just a visit enroute to Jhansi or Khadjuraho.

Jack just shrugged in response to Alpha's shrug and he decided to head over with Delta and Lilith to head in, stopping mid way as Bravo just jumped out of the shadows and grabbed onto Jack happily. The other tickets he gave to Alpha and told the Hypno to find the others and make sure they got their own tickets. The Hypno nodded and headed off.
Over near the dinner table Echo giggled at Spirit's questions. "
We just went around camp and saw stuff people weren't using so we decided to use it. We'll return after of course! The lamp is actually battery powered, it's very nice.
" She smiled as she got into her seat and scooted up to the table as Foxtrot got behind Spirit and pulled her chair out for her.
It was around that time that Alpha appeared. "
Ah! A nice dinner scene Echo.
" He complimented as the Sneasel blushed. He gave her and Foxtrot their tickets. "
Have fun you three!
" He said with a smile as he walked off and Foxtrot groaned, "
Oh, what a wonderful activity they will be engaging in!
Echo got up and playfully punched his shoulder, "
We aren't being served by ourselves!
" She got back into her seat as Foxtrot rubbed his shoulder, "
Alright, alright. So, what would you young ladies like to order? We have a variety of berries and pokemon treats as our special tonight.

I am looking to remodel the basement. One support pole is right in the middle of where we would like to put a large room. The pole is 6 feet from the outside wall and 7 feet from the next pole. I have been told that I can use 14 foot lengths of Laminated Veneer Lumber bolted to each side of the main beam. This will allow me to remove the post. I need more info on this along with the thickness of the LVL and how many LVL's on each side? Is this workable and safe? Do not want the top two floors in the basement.

- Using Laminated Veneer Lumber
My advice is to find a qualified architect, engineer, or builder to advise you on the removal or relocation of any structural column. Columns in basements can be carrying a tremendous amount of weight. There is no simple "over-the-web" answer to removal of a structural component. Anyone advising you otherwise is not as wise as they may appear and you are taking a high risk with your life and property. Whoever you engage should actually see the situation to be able to offer credible advise.

Comments about BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP Natural-Stone Sunburst Necklace:
I saw the blue version in the store, so was happy to find the green adventurine online. The design is special, with all the gold spikes ending with the gemstones. It's a big presence on the neckline, but due to the design, also airy and summery. It looks great on a bare neckline, or over a dress. Just a unique piece and well made.
Heartily recommend!

Help! If i upgrade from Windows 7 to 8 using the upgrade assistant and choose to overwrite Windows 7 and delete all files, will the current MSR (Grub2) be replaced with the Windows MSR? i sure hope so couse Grub has been a pain in the ass since i upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 and everything stoped working. I fixed the problem with Grub using "Boot-repair" after sitting next to my other computer throug the hole day trying to find a solution, and now i just want it as far away as possible!
Will Grub2 be replaced with Windows bootloader if i do a fresh windows 8 install? (upgrade assistant)
You might want to try Grub2Win which is available here http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win
It uses the native Windows bootloader and is configured from windows. It will allow you to dual-boot Linux easily.

I know it only allows the class to set it, but what is the point?
How do I solve the problem of having readonly ids?
Say I have a person class:
public class Person
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Id { get; private set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
And this is in an
Entities.dll, used by a GUI, BL and DAL.
The GUI calls the BL:
List<Person> p = BL.PeopleBL.GetPeople();
For the sake of the example calls the DAL:
returnPersonList.add( new Person{ Age=dr.GetInt32(1), Id=dr.GetInt32(0), Name=dr.GetString(2)})
of course I cannot do that cause Id is a private set; What is the proper way to do this?
How can I let the BL/Dal set the Id, but not on the GUI?
Or is this not even the proper use of a private set?
I just wanted to add that this is your typical DB app, where the pk is the Id and should not be changed( only by the BL/DAL)

Background aqueous chemistry and 15Nnitrate tracer injection methods were used to calculate in-stream nitrate uptake metrics at Red Canyon Creek, a third-order stream in the Rocky Mountains in the state of Wyoming, United States. 'Net' nitrate uptake lengths, which reflect both nitrate uptake and regeneration, and 'gross' nitrate uptake lengths, which exclude re-mineralization, were quantified separately from background nitrate chemistry and 15N labelling tracer data, respectively. Gross nitrate uptake lengths, from tracer injections of 15N labelled nitrate, ranged from 502 to 3140 m. Net nitrate uptake lengths, from background nitrate chemistry downstream of a point source, ranged from 1170 to 4330 m. Diurnal changes in uptake lengths suggest the importance of nitrate utilization by autotrophs in the stream and benthic zone. The differences between net and gross nitrate uptake lengths along lower reaches of Red Canyon Creek allowed us to estimate the nitrate regeneration rate, which was 0·056–0·080 µmol m−2 s−1 during the day and 0·0062–0·0083 µmol m−2 s−1 at night. Spatial patterns of streambed pore water chemistry indicate those areas of the hyporheic zone where denitrification was likely occurring. Permanent log dams generated stronger redox gradients in the hyporheic zone than areas with transient beaver dams. By combining isotopically labelled nitrate additions, estimates of uptake from background aqueous nitrate chemistry and characterization of redox conditions in the hyporheic zone, we were able to determine the nitrate regeneration rate and the redox processes responsible for nitrogen cycling in the hyporheic zone.

The Greater Greenwood Chamber of Commerce honored six outstanding businesspeople and companies at its annual Chamber Celebration this month. The chamber presents the awards to recognize outstanding business achievement among other accomplishments.
Mike Kensill of Lee & Associates Real Estate Services was named Ambassador of the Year. Garnet Vaughan of The Marketing Department was awarded Member of the Year. Randy Faulkner and Associates received a Pride and Progress Award. Pilsung ATA Martial Arts, Simons Bitzer & Associates and Endress+Hauser each earned a Salute Award.
Ambassadors of the Year are chamber volunteers who coach other chamber members and help make introductions to other business leaders. The 2013 winner, Kensill, is a commercial real estate broker. A Purdue University graduate, he has more than 25 years of experience in commercial real estate in central and southern Indiana.
The Chamber Member of the Year Award recognizes a committed businessperson who goes to extraordinary lengths to promote the chamber. Vaughan, a marketing consultant, graduated from Butler University and began her marketing career with Melvin Simon and Associates, now Simon Property Group, where she wrote and produced the television and radio advertising for the company's malls across the country.
The Pride and Progress Award celebrates a business that made outstanding design efforts in the construction of a new business or renovation of an existing property. Randy Faulkner & Associates Inc. received the 2013 award for their work on Polk Place, a former canning factory built in 1907. The renovation took more than 16 months. About 80 percent of the original structure was retained during the renovation.
The Chamber's Salute Awards recognize member businesses that demonstrate success in one or more areas, including growth and stability, commitment to quality, creative/unique solutions to challenges or entrepreneurial spirit.
Pilsung ATA Martial Arts, the Salute small business winner, started in 2003 in a single room with six students and has grown to occupy a 3,100-square-foot facility with more than 140 students ages 4 to 64 and has grown staff by 50 percent.
Simons Bitzer & Associates, the Salute Award winner in a medium business category, has earned double-digit percentage growth during the past three years. The CPA firm also maintains industry-leading employee retention.
Endress+Hauser, the large business category Salute award winner, is a globally active, family-owned business that develops, manufactures and sells sensors, components and systems that process information for industrial processes. The Greenwood-based U.S. operations is the most profitable sales organization — both as a percentage of sales and absolute dollars, according to a statement from the chamber. The company is becoming one of two pre-eminent suppliers in the U.S. market with net sales of $500 million. In the last three years, they have experienced an 82 percent increase in net sales, growing from $118 million to $250 million.

"Very satisfactory" Grand Continental Flamingo Hotel Tip by uglyscot
Grand Continental Flamingo Hotel, Abu Dhabi: 77 reviews and 5 photos
We occupied three rooms which were all more or less the same in design, but with different carpets, curtains and bedding. And views. Two groups were on 11th floor and husband and I on 16th. All the necessary things were available: wardrobes, TV, safe, writing desk and ensuite bathroom with plenty of towels and toiletries.A kettle was provided and sachets of tea, Nescafe, sugar and sweetener .
Rooms were charged as rooms, not per person. One of ours had two adults and two children, another had one adult, child and baby, exceeding the two only rule.
Service was good.
We had breakfast in the small room on Ground floor 1 which was a good buffet.
Lunch could be had at an Indian buffet , or at Beppinos , an Italian-style restaurant. Both were good and quite reasonably priced .
For the energetic there was gymn.
My only complaint was that the cafeteria had no one to serve us when we wanted a coffee, so we retired to our room and made our own with the kettle and sachets provided.
Unique Qualities: It was good for its grade and service could not be faulted.
Address: Najda Street, P.O. Box 28080, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Our Oak Ridge National Laboratory is working on the axial gap motor concept that this uses. They think it may be BIG in future evehicles. I guess the future is now.
Let's hope half of this proves out. This is Gen 2. There was an SO1.

There are already many older teens and young adults who can't even wrap their heads around the concept of EV training; a child seeing EVs would get confused no doubt, and trying to explain EVs to them would probably turn them off from the game. That, of course, is every game developers worst nightmare. So they exist for the competitive players, but are kept hidden for the sake of people who don't want to deal with them.
The fact that in B2W2 Bianca, as the new "effort reader," tells you which stats your Pokemon are EV trained in is pretty significant in its own right. Also, it's easy enough to just mark off how many EVs your Pokemon has gained. It's pretty irritating when you're trying to reset EVs, but at the same time the berries stop working once they've hit 0, so even then it's not so much of an issue that they aren't shown.

The furniture from Sandy's debris not only channels the designers' imagination to create something beautiful out of tragedy but also immortalizes the moment in a physical form so that people will never forget one of the most chaotic disasters of 2012. All furniture will be sold at an auction held at the Ligne Roset's SoHo showroom in New York City on December 19, 2012. The proceeds will be donated to help storm victims.

Hi folks - first time here.
I bought this Bianchi Axis cyclocross bike sometime in the early to mid-1990's. I absolutely love the frame and put a lot miles on it, but it has been in storage for a few years. Now, I'm getting back into cycling and trying to figure out what year it actually is.
The paint is original, likewise the Suntour hubs, Suntour XC Comp front (top pull) and rear derailleurs, cassette (I've changed the cogs). The main tubes are Tange Cr Mo double butted, and the original front fork has a Tange Cr Mo double butted sticker on it.
Most of the other components have been replaced or updated for better quality units that fit me better. I took a wheel building class and built the Mavic wheels myself. The front original Suntour XC Comp mountain bike crankset was changed for a Shimano triple with 52-42-30 rings because I did a lot of road miles in addition to trails. It had the 1st generation Suntour Command shifters, but those are dogs, so back in the 90s I managed to find a NOS 2nd gen set of Command shifters, which worked better than the Shimano alternative back then. I changed the seat post, the handlebars are wider, V-Brakes, installed a rack on it, etc.
At that time there was a higher quality cyclocross bike available. I'd like to find out what model it was and possibly obtain that original frameset, too.
Its not life or death, but any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

D-Day Event Chosen to Scorn Critics
Cronin, Mike, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
It was not coincidence that Saturday's dedication of a new parking lot and patio at Sharpsburg's American Legion Post 106 fell on the 65th anniversary of D-Day, when the largest armada ever assembled invaded Nazi-occupied France.
Post officials said they timed the ceremony as a way to rebuff critics of its construction project.
"We're not against vets," said critic Robert Gallo, 71, a retired Allegheny County judge as he stood last week near the legion's new parking lot on Heinz Terrace, a residential street where he lives. "They're out there fighting for me and my freedom of speech. All we wanted was a fair hearing."
"And it's very sad we had to go to court to accomplish that goal," said Gallo, a borough councilman for 20 years until his 1989 election to the bench.
Six Heinz Terrace residents, including Gallo's wife, Violet, are seeking a court order to remove the parking lot and other upgrades. The lawsuit claims Sharpsburg council violated its own ordinances in how it approved the project, trampling some basic freedoms that men and women in uniform have defended with their lives.
"The reason we made such a big deal out of the dedication is so Judge Gallo will stop and go away -- or, if nothing else, come down and talk to us in a civilized manner and get this resolved," said John "Jack" Kurtz, 53, of Etna, adjutant of the Sons of the American Legion Squadron 106 for the George L. Walter American Legion Post 106. Kurtz, a laid-off electrical engineer, served in the Navy from 1974-78.
"We adhered to everything the building inspector told us to do," said Gary Salitrik, the post secretary and treasurer and an Army veteran who drove a jeep in Vietnam from 1970-71. "We adhered to everything the council asked us to do."
In court documents, Sharpsburg council members deny they did anything wrong when approving the project. Sharpsburg Mayor Donald Ferraro and Council President Joseph Panza declined to comment upon the advice of the borough's attorney, Michael J. Witherel.
Legion members say the upgrades are necessary to help ailing vets get into the post's building, located at North Canal Street and Heinz Terrace.
"A lot of us can't get around too well anymore," said Jim Carey, 61, of Etna, an Army Signal Corps veteran who served in Vietnam from 1965-67. "They didn't make these improvements to slight anyone who lives (in the neighborhood). They did it to honor those who served our country."
Dedicated to a hero
The new patio and parking lot, which can be accessed only from Heinz Terrace, were dedicated yesterday in honor of the late Michael J. Novosel Sr., a Medal of Honor recipient originally from Etna, in what was hoped to be a splashy ceremony attended by plenty of top brass. It became a more modest affair.
Retired four-star generals Richard A. Cody of the Army and Michael V. Hayden of the Air Force didn't make it, nor did Gov. Ed Rendell, Sen. Arlen Specter or Sen. Bob Casey.
Novosel, a Vietnam vet and an Army helicopter pilot, died three years ago in Enterprise, Ala. He was 83. He received the Medal of Honor for his actions on Oct. 2, 1969, when he piloted a helicopter through enemy fire no fewer than six times and rescued 29 soldiers pinned down by the enemy.
Attending the dedication ceremony was his son, Michael J. Novosel Jr., 59, of Shalimar, Fla., who served alongside his father in Vietnam as his copilot. …

He's a traveling stunt rider with no fixed address. She's the woman he sees once or twice a year when he rolls through town. Then there's the small town cop, who's overqualified for the job. Their worlds will collide - - and that's basically all you need to know about Derek Cianfrance's "The Place Beyond The Pines."
The new film from the "Blue Valentine" filmmaker reunites him that film's star, Ryan Gosling, for a sprawling drama that passes through generations, delving into the sins that are passed on down the line. A batch of new images have dropped for the film, and they aren't any spoilers here, but we'll leave the character details under wraps so you see for yourself. Meanwhile, two clips from the movie clue us into the drama going in the lives of our two leads. But we'll leave you with this snippet from our TIFF review: "This is a film that desires to say something about how we relate to each other, and how the often overlooked consequences of our actions can refract down avenues we could never expect. A brilliant, towering picture..."
"The Place Beyond The Pines" opens in limited release on March 29th. Check the clips, pics and a TV spot below.

You may also add a can of creamed corn. You can also use a 13 by 9 inch pan. 10 min prep and 20-30 min cooking time depending on what size pan you use.
Very good flavor and inexpensive to make. I used both Jiffy corn mix and cake mix and the bread still had a nice cornbread texture with a little added sweetness that was perfect with a spicy chili. I don't recommend using this for muffins, as they cooked too fast to allow ample rising time, but the recipe made six very nice mini-loaves.
It is VERY sweet, I taste the cake mostly over the cornbread but it's good! For a 9x13, it takes more like 40-45 minutes.
If you like sweet cornbread, you'll LOVE this recipe!

Hi there,
I really need some great advice for my upcoming trip this August to Japan.
Will be there for 2 weeks.
My first time there so I am not sure how to plan so I hope to get most of out of places I want to go with the JR pass.
I am planning to get just a 7 day JR pass as I think a 14 day would be a waste. But it seems the itinerary may go beyond the 7 day pass by a day.
My flight is in and out of Narita and I cannot changed it as there are penalties for any changes.
I am not sure, so kindly let…
Can I get a sim card for a pocket wifi that I'm bringing to Japan (not hiring)?
Hi all, I am working on a plan to travel to Japan for a month and a half. This is the first half of my three months of travel. I plan to leave the beginning of September and be in Japan till the middle of October. I am looking for any recommendations on how to travel through the country. I plan to start in Tokyo and head north for a bit then make my way down to the south as well. If anyone has a suggestion on the order of places I should see that would be greatly helpful.
Hello all,
I ma planning our family of 4 (two grown sons) trip to Japan in August. We plan to stay for 4 days in Tokyo, then head to Shibu Onsen (snow Monkeys area), then to Hakone, then Kyoto and possibly Hiroshima. I am not entirely sure if this is the best order possible and also how much time to devote to each destination. I was thinking that 4 nights in Tokyo should be OK and 2 nights in Kyoto. Our older son studies in Japan for a semester and he is suggesting that we rent a car and…
I am planning my next trip to Japan in October, but I have some doubts.
We will arrive to Tokio next October the 13th at 7.15 am to Haneda airport.
We would like to go direct to Shingu .
We will buy the JR railpass.
I have checked and I think I have to go from the airport to shinagawa station by train and from there to Nagoya.
Is it that the correct way ?
Do you think I will have enough time to take the 9.40 shinkansen Hikari to Nagoya ? Is it covered by the JR railpass?
I'm arriving at Narita at about 3pm on June 6th and I have family arriving on the evening of the 7th and the evening of the 8th. It seems from everything I've read that I can see most of what Narita has to offer in a day (most articles suggests to only spend a day there). I was planning on hitting an onsen while I recover from jetlag, but aside from seeing the main sites off the main drag, is there anything I should seek out in Narita? Are there any worthwhile day trips? I'm going to be spending…
Does anyone know of any cool abandoned places in Japan like old theme parks, buildings, ghost towns, etc? Preferably not problematic to visit (as in getting in troubles with the law or local security)? I'm also interested in haunted houses/buildings/spots. I know it's a bit of a niche :), but it would be cool if anyone could help me out!
So I'm flying with ANA from Bangkok to Haneda.
And I'm staying at Hotel Sunroute Plaza in Shinjuku.
The hotel have recommended I take this Limousine Bus: http://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/platform_searches/index/4/17
All good.
I'm a little confused about the process to get the ticket and where to find the bus.
It's just not that clear a process on their website IMO.
Here's the 3 things I need to know:
- Does ANA flying from Bangkok arrive at Haneda Terminal 2?
I've seen…
Hello Im about to book a trip to Tokyo with my 12 year old son and 70 year old father in October time. We will have a lot of different boxes to tick! I'm relatively confident with independent travel but having so many different things we want to do combined with zero local knowledge, I am finding it really difficult to decide which area to stay in! I'd like to know how long travel around the different areas of toyko takes by subway or train or bus (i don't hear much about buses so far!) We…
I'll be moving to Tokyo and looking for a fitness gym near the Roppongi area. Is there any gym that anyone would recommend that is close by?
Thank you for any info!

Cheshire Street Art by willdrawforfoodWatch

February is a tough month for sportsmen.
Deer hunting is over, turkey season is still a couple of months away, and fishing isn't too hot in most areas of the state.
Thankfully, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources is again offering a February season for hunting Canada geese in numerous counties.
A great problem we are faced with in fall is too much opportunity for the amount of time we have to hunt.
If you're like me, deer hunting takes up most of your time. You think about waterfowl, rabbits, pheasants and more, but you usually end up back in the deer woods.
With the February Canada goose season, there isn't much going on to conflict with the dates, so you don't have to choose.
The special season runs Feb. 1-15 in Johnson, Marion, Morgan, Shelby and 26 other counties.
If you live or have lived in a subdivision that has lakes or ponds, then you know how devastating overpopulations of geese can be. Not only do these geese cause you harm in your back yard, they also causeg damage to the waterfowl breeding grounds up in Canada.
The late season helps control the population of the breeding "giant" subspecies of Canada geese around urban areas, a common issue in Indiana and surrounding states. Indiana has offered hunters a late Canada goose season in select counties every February since 2008.
No special permit is needed for the late Canada goose season, and birds no longer need to be checked. A valid hunting license, Indiana waterfowl stamp privilege, signed federal duck stamp and a HIP (Harvest Information Program) number are required to hunt during this season.
According to the DNR, "Indiana hunters harvested 8,100 Canada geese during the 2013 late season, the same number as in 2012, according to estimates from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The total late-season harvest for Indiana across all six years is estimated at 41,600 geese."
The season may be closed or the bag limit reduced in future years if local Canada goose populations are sufficiently reduced.
Based on the population reductions Indiana has seen, the bag limit is likely to be reduced to three for the 2015 late season, DNR waterfowl biologist Adam Phelps said. However, the bag limit will remain five for the upcoming February 2014 season.
Waterfowl hunting is a rush. When a goose locks up and commits to landing in front of you, adrenaline pumps through your veins. Waterfowl hunting is also special because it's a social affair. You don't have to sit quiet all day. You can cut up with your friends and even cook breakfast in your blind.
After spending my first 30 years as a hardcore big-game hunter, I now look forward to waterfowl hunts almost as much.

Age, Beauty Before Youth at Grammys
Despite myriad concessions to modishness and a Twitter feed, it was a Steely Dan sort of year at the Grammys as Robert Plant and Alison Krause's Raising Sand won five awards including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year ("Please Read the Letter"), and awards in the Country and Contemporary Folk/Americana categories.
Lil Wayne ("Tha Carter III") won four rap awards, Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" was named Best Song, Adele ("Chasing Pavements") won Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Performance, and John Mayer won Best Solo Rock Performance ("Gravity") and snatched Best Male Pop Performance ("Say") from competitors Paul McCartney and James Taylor. Daft Punk won a couple of Dance/Electronica awards.
Bruce Springsteen won Best Rock Song for "Girls In Their Summer Clothes," beating among others Radiohead, which was honored for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package. Rick Rubin was named Best Producer (Metallica, Neil Diamond), Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra won Best Polka Album ("Let The Whole World Sing"), Metallica won its fifth Best Metal Performance award, and the video awards went to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Weezer.
Best Classical Recording went to the L.A. Opera's Rise And Fall Of The City Of Mahagonny, in which one of our editors had a rooting interest. Best Contemporary Classical Composition was Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems Of Bob Dylan by John Corigliano.

Hi folks,
I've just returned from a foldie holiday in Pai, Northern Thailand. Because of its natural beauty - hills, river, rice fields, orchards & cool weather (winter), its called the Switzerland of Thailand. Some even call it Thailand's Ubud (Bali) because of the confluence of artsy people.
Just wanna share the experience: http://www.thingsasian.com/stories-p...922/0/con0_rec

"Ghana" Ghana by MissThing606
Ghana Travel Guide: 1,521 reviews and 4,615 photos
Ghana is a great place to visit: The people are friendly and the country has lots of culture and history.
Ghana was the first country in Africa to gain its independence from colonial rule. As a nation, Ghana is peaceful - there are no cultural clashes although there seveal tribes. In fact other West Africans migrate to Ghana.
I'm Ghanaian by decent, I've been on several family hilidays and I also went to boarding school for five years.
When Iw as younger, our vistis were purely familiy visits. When I went in year 2000, (aged 21) we did the "tourist thing". We saw some sights, went to the beach and bars.

I'm just curious. I'm new to this vintage stuff - I got hooked on the look of lugged steel, and can't reasonably lay out the cash required for a good condition, ride as is Italian bike. Hence, ended up buying a NOS Miyata off ebay for $400 - Shimano 600 groupo all around, Miyata triple spline tubing and best of all, never ridden by anyone...except maybe test rides from 16 years ago.
Anyway, I also see Colnagos in much worse shape easily go for $1k+, or the really nice ones, close to $2k. I love the look and paint job of Colnagos and I saw a beautiful Tommasini. But the prices are much higher. Even Bianchi frames will go for more than, say a Bridgestone or a Miyata. So...in reality, how different are they? Is there such a huge gap in quality of tubing/workmanship, etc., or is it just the country of origin? And, will there actually be a difference in ride?
