Violas get a bad rap in the music world. Alice McIvor, who has played one in the National Youth Orchestra for seven years, is out to change that, she tells Diana Dekker .
It was by accident that Alice McIvor became enchanted with the much-maligned viola. She fell for it in her first season with the National Youth Orchestra. That was seven years ago. She's tuning up for her eighth time, for the orchestra's first performance of 2014, in Wellington on Waitangi Day.
McIvor, 22, had never even held a viola when she decided to audition for the orchestra. She was a care-free Hawke's Bay schoolgirl, barely 15, when two of her friends, who had dutifully learned the instrument, told her they were trying for it. McIvor had been learning violin since she was 8 but the whole viola idea, and trying for a place in the orchestra, ''was a joke''.
''I'd never played viola,'' she says. ''I had no idea of the viola clef. But I thought 'why not'. I learned the easiest piece I could think of, to memorise, to go to the audition with so that I didn't have to read the clef and get found out. It was in the Memorial Theatre in Napier and you had to go in and play your excerpts and they were recorded.''
McIvor, strictly speaking too young to contemplate the orchestra, which was looking for players aged 16 to 25, made the grade and only one of her two viola-literate friends went in with her. She has re-auditioned successfully every year since. The viola is no longer a joke to her and her mission is to change its woeful reputation as the poverty-stricken cousin of the violin and cello.
She dreams of creating a viola studio in Wellington. She has no time for viola jokes like: What's the difference between a viola and an onion? No-one cares when you cut up an onion. Or, even more meanly: What's the difference between a violin and a coffin? The coffin has the dead person inside. Or: How do you stop a violin being stolen? You put it in a viola case.
''I don't know why the viola is the joke of the orchestra,'' says McIvor.
''Violists are an endangered species. Lots of violinists would be suited to viola but there isn't the encouragement to swap. The viola has a really rich sound between a violin and a cello, rich and deep. It's all about sound and if you are a player and can't produce a viola sound, it's noticeable. There's an art to the viola and an art to the violin. They're definitely two different instruments and it's not that if you can play one, you can play the other.''
McIvor'S championship of the viola has matured over many years. And she didn't just drop into the National Youth Orchestra and play like a dream.
''It was a bit of a surprise to everyone. I didn't expect to get in. I had to buy a viola and we didn't know where to buy one. We got one off the internet from the States.''
When rehearsals began, ''I was so scared. We were playing quite a hard programme, playing The Firebird, which is decently hard. It wasn't something I could go in and wing. I definitely got a fright. If you can't play, everyone knows you can't play. It was fine, but I didn't realise what I was getting myself into.''
She managed. ''I loved it. It's an incredible orchestra, I think because of the enthusiasm and passion the young have for music, because it's so fresh and we haven't been playing for 20 years in an orchestra as a day job. The energy is what really grasps the audience, kids of 18 to 25, all going for it, creating something really different to the NZSO. I obviously love what they do really professionally, nothing raw about it. With the National Youth Orchestra you never know what will happen on stage.''
McIvor's viola teacher is Gillian Ansell but she didn't have a teacher until she was at university.
She tossed up between law, education and music and the New Zealand School of Music won - ''on a whim''. ''I'm very whimsical.'' She applied late, deciding at the last minute to play the viola for her audition.
''I'd been keeping the violin up and the viola came out of the cupboard once a year. I'm definitely seen as a violist now rather than a violinist.''
She is now ''fresh out of uni'' after a year of intense music, which included playing for the NZSO and Orchestra Wellington and at two chamber music festivals in Canada with string quartet Quadrivium, put together for the biennial Adam International Chamber Music Festival in Nelson.
She has a day job, as a receptionist in a car show room - so she can play at night, and contemplate the future. That might be in an orchestra, but it could be in a studio helping to change attitudes to the viola.
''It needs to happen.''
- The NZSO National Youth Orchestra performs a free concert at Te Papa at 11am on Waitangi Day. It also performs at the Municipal Theatre, Napier, on February 7.

Battle of the Somme: A tunnel to tragedy
Tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. At 7.30 on the morning of the 1st of July 1916 over just a few hours almost 58,000 British troops were killed, wounded or missing. Many were from the North West.

Cameron, from Warrington, has cystic fibrosis and the muscle weakening condition Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He died in 2012.
But his parents took the Department for Work and Pensions to Court - and won a victory for ALL families with poorly children.

Canon EOS 650D coming in June - specs leakedPocket-lint
Canon has been rather tardy with the release of its 2012 mid-level DSLR, the EOS 650D (Rebel T4i in the US and other regions). Its predecessors, the Canon EOS 600D and EOS 550D, were released in March 2011 and April 2010 respectively, but this year's spring has passed and there's still no sign of the new model.
It is believed, however, that Canon-ites won't need to wait much longer: sources claim its launch will be next month. As dedicated website Canon Rumours states: "An announcement is slated for June."
The same site has also heard some leaked specifications for the 650D, including the adoption of an 18-megapixel CMOS sensor that may or may not be the same as in last year's 600D. Also listed is a 9-point AF (again, the same as found on the 600D) and the very welcome continuous auto focus in live view and video recording modes.
Perhaps the most tantalising rumour is that the EOS 650D will come with a touchscreen LCD screen. After the superbly large one on the 550D and swivel version on the 600D, this comes as the next evolutionary step.
That's about all that's come out for now, but if the June announcement is correct, Pocket-lint fully expects the speculation to ramp up in volume over the next couple of weeks.
What do you think? Are you eagerly awaiting the Canon EOS 650D? Or is the Nikon D3200 your favoured choice? Let us know in the comments below...

Reuters - Creditor banks could become majority investors in Italy's Sorgenia as the owners of the energy company took a step closer on Monday towards a deal on debt restructuring, three sources close to the matter said.
Sorgenia, for years the main asset of the De Benedetti family's holding group CIR, has run up debts of 1.8 billion euros ($2.48 billion) after buying modern gas-fired power plants which are now underused due to the economic crisis and the rise of renewable energy sources.
Creditor banks had been trying to get CIR to pay half of the 600 million euros of debt that must be cleared to keep the business afloat but the holding has offered 100 million euros.
The banks recently indicated they could be prepared to accept a cash injection in the region of 150 million euros in return for which they would convert debt into equity to the tune of 300 million euros.
"Progress was made this morning and the two sides drew a step closer even if there's still a way to go," one source said.
The source added a deal which saw creditors converting 300 million euros of debt into shares would leave them with around 67 percent stake in Sorgenia and CIR around 33 percent.
Representatives from Sorgenia and CIR met the banks on Monday morning to try to narrow the distance between them.
"It was a fairly positive result," a second source said, adding Sorgenia was scheduled to hold a board meeting on Wednesday.
A third source said it was still an ongoing process. "Everyone's talking about positions of the two sides converging. The structure of the deal is not a problem and we're almost there on how much CIR will put up. The real problem is the conversion of debt into equity instruments," the source said.
Sorgenia owes money to about 20 Italian and foreign banks. Its main creditor is the troubled Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena while other creditors include Intesa Sanpaolo and UniCredit.
Austrian utility Verbund holds 46 percent of the energy company but has written off the value of the stake and said it is not ready to inject any more cash into the venture.
CIR, which is a major shareholder in leading Italian publisher L'Espresso, declined to comment. Monte Paschi, UniCredit and Intesa also declined to comment.

Enjoyable read.,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Never a Bride (Kindle Edition)
I enjoyed this book. Interesting story line which kept me guessing. A little mistake in terms of historical accuracy, the word 'fall' was not used then but autumn. But that's a tiny quibble, which possibly wouldn't bother most readers. I felt the characters were developed well and I liked them. A nice read if you want to while away a few hours and relax. I would definitely give her other books a try.

This application is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/322,169, filed Dec. 18, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,760,543.
This invention relates generally to heaters. More specifically, the present invention relates to an elongated electric heater in which thermal energy is imparted to exhaust air as it passes through an elongated heating element.
Portable heating devices have been utilized to elevate the temperature in a living space for many years. Conventional portable forced hot air heaters for consumer use are well-known and are comprised of an electrical heating element and a fan within a housing. Ambient air is forced to pass through or over the heating element thus raising the temperature of the air. As sufficient air passes through the heating element the ambient temperature of the room is raised as desired.
One goal of a portable heating device is to pass a sufficient quantity and velocity of air over or through the heating element to allow the user to experience the produced heat quickly and to achieve the desired temperature levels in a given space. Another goal is the ability to achieve the heating of the air in an efficient manner. This implies the efficient distribution of the airflow over the maximum amount of heating element surface. In addition, it is desirable to increase the volume and velocity of air that is heated during a given time period. This allows the desired ambient temperatures to be reached more quickly. Further, it is advantageous to project heated air from the heater to allow the user to experience an immediate heating effect. One manner to achieve this aspect is to raise the elevation of the heated air stream, this allows the heated air to effect the users upper body. The upper body is more exposed and therefore will experience the effects of the heating device quickly. Moreover, it is desirable to manufacture the device at a cost and with features (such as a space saving design and consistent heat output) that are appealing to consumers.
One type of conventional portable heater has a low elevation with respect to a support surface, such as the floor. This low profile increases the distance that the heat must travel (i.e., the heat path) to reach the upper trunk of the users body. The added heat path distance does not produce the desired effect of heating the upper trunk and extremities of the user's body efficiently.
Another type of conventional portable heater elevates the heated exhaust air stream somewhat. The aspect ratio of the heating element used in such a design, however, limits the height to which the heated air stream can be elevated. The conventional aspect ratios of the heating element do not allow for greater length of the element because of the need to maintain the proper watt density within the electric heating element to efficiently heat the air steam. The inability to increase the length of the heating element limits the elevation of the heating element.
An additional problem with conventional portable heaters is that many utilize a "hot wire" or "glow wire" heating element. These elements can have surface temperatures that reach and exceed 1250 degrees Fahrenheit (676 degree Celsius). This elevated element temperature is inherently more susceptible to problems if the device malfunctions.
In light of the aforementioned problems there is a need for a forced air heater having a heated exhaust air stream at a height sufficient to shorten the heat path to an upper portion of the user's body. This heating device should desirably have a vertical aspect ratio. The vertical aspect ratio would also provide the portable heater with a space saving design. Another need is for the heating device to have the ability to move a sufficient volume and velocity of air over or through the heating element, thus efficiently achieving the desired ambient temperature level. Another need is for the electric heating element to have a vertical aspect ratio that would allow the device to achieve the desired height. Yet another need for the heating device is to have the ability to utilize a heating element with a lower surface temperature while achieving the desired air stream heating characteristics. There is also a need for the heating device to utilize an air generator design that will have the desired characteristics for a portable heating device with a vertical aspect ratio.
In short what is needed is a heater that combines one or more of these characteristics at a desirable retail cost for the consumer.
According to one aspect of the present invention a portable electric heater for providing a heated exhaust air stream at an elevation above a support surface comprises an elongate housing having at least one sidewall, a top end, a bottom end, and a longitudinal length extending substantially upward from the bottom end to the top end, and a horizontal cross sectional area. A base supports the elongate housing in a vertical and upright position on the support surface with the base contacting the support surface. The elongate housing has at least one interior space with at least one inlet opening in the elongate housing allowing inlet air to enter the at least one interior space. An air blower assembly is disposed within the at least one interior space for receiving the inlet air. The air blower assembly comprises at least one air impeller, and at least one motor for rotating the air impeller to generate an exhaust air stream. At least one outlet opening is in the elongate housing allowing the exhaust air stream to exit the at least one interior space, and at least one electric heating element disposed within the at least one interior space between the air blower assembly and the at least one outlet opening. A substantial portion of the exhaust air stream passes through the at least one electric heating element and thermal energy is transferred from the at least one electric heating element to the exhaust air stream as the exhaust air stream flows through the at least one electric heating element forming the heated exhaust air stream, the heated exhaust air stream exits the elongate housing at an elevation above the support surface, the elevation being defined by a distance from where the base contacts the support surface to a highest vertical exit point of the heated exhaust air stream from the at least one interior space; and the elevation of the heated exhaust air stream being about 20 inches or greater.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a first comparative ratio is defined by the elevation of the heated exhaust air stream to a maximum width dimension of the horizontal cross sectional area of the elongate housing, the first comparative ratio being greater than about 2 to 1.
According to a further aspect of the present invention, the air blower assembly further comprises a transverse blower assembly.
According to a still another aspect of the present invention, the air blower assembly further comprises a centrifugal blower assembly.
According to a yet further aspect of the present invention, the air blower assembly is a pre-assembled cartridge, and the pre-assembled cartridge is pre-tested and installed in the elongate housing during assembly of the portable electric heater.
These and other aspects and objects will become evident in light of the following detailed description.
The invention is best understood from the following detailed description when read in connection with the accompanying drawing. It is emphasized that, according to common practice, various features of the drawing are not to scale. On the contrary, the dimensions of various features are arbitrarily expanded or reduced for clarity. Included in the drawing are the following Figures:
This application is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/322,169, filed Dec. 18, 2002, the contents of which is incorporated by reference as if set forth in full.
The following description is of an electric heater that is portable and has a vertical aspect ratio which allows the generated heat to effect the users upper body. The vertical aspect ratio also provides a space saving design. The electric heating element of the described electric heater has the proper vertical aspect ratio to allow the generated heat to effect the user's upper body. The electric heater so described achieves the desired air volume and air velocity over or through a low surface temperature heating element. The air generator within the unit is designed so as to be have the desired performance characteristics for a portable heater that has a vertical aspect ratio.
Disposed within interior space 103 of housing 102 is at least one air blower assembly 110. Air blower assembly 110 includes at least one motor 114 and at least one air impeller 112 connected to motor 114. Air blower assembly 110 may also include, as in this example, blower housing structure 113 and other components (not shown). The use of air blower assembly 110 preferably allows for the pre-assembly and pre-testing of air blower assembly 110 thereby allowing the manufacture and assembly of electric heater 100 to be less costly when compared to assembling motor 114, air impeller 112 and blower housing structure 113 into electric heater 100 as separate components. In one embodiment, air blower assembly 110 is a transverse type blower. It is contemplated that other types of blowers may be used, such as for example a centrifugal type blower.
Also disposed within interior space 103, proximate elongated air outlet 104 is elongated heating element 116. Preferably, elongated heating element 116 extends substantially along the length of the elongated air outlet 104 and a substantial portion of all the air being discharged from air blower assembly 110 flows through elongated heating element 116.
In one embodiment, elongated heating element 116 uses a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) type heat generation technology. The use of a PTC heating element assures a self-regulating low surface temperature of approximately 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius).
The rotation of air impeller 112 causes air to be drawn into housing 102 through air inlet opening(s) 108. The air flow passes through blower assembly 110, passes through elongated heating element 116, and exits housing 102 through elongated air outlet 104. As the air flow passes through elongated heating element 116, thermal energy (i.e. heat) is imparted to the air flow.
Preferably, protective grill 106 is located proximate elongated air outlet 104. Protective grill 106 is preferably designed to minimize its impedance of the air flow as it exits electric heater 100, while at the same time protecting electric heater 100 from the internal penetration of foreign objects. Protective grill 106 may include air directing vanes, such as louvers for example, that can be used to control the direction of the heated exhaust air stream as it exits housing 102. Protective grill 106 may be a separate piece or formed as an integral part of another component of electric heater 100, for example housing 102.
In one embodiment, base 128 can be uncoupled from housing 102. Base 128 can then be stored in package 900 along with housing 102 and all other components of electric heater 100 to economize space, as shown in
Base 128 may be comprised of one or multiple pieces attached to one another. Base 128 may be made of materials such as metals or polymers or a combination of various materials. Base 128 sits on a support surface thus allowing the entire structure of electric heater 100 to be positioned in a substantially vertical, upright and elongate position.
Although the exemplary embodiment shown in
In one embodiment, base 128 can be uncoupled from housing 102. Base 128 can then be stored along with housing 102 and all other components of electric heater 100 to economize space. The space economization for storing electric heater 100 can be used for shipping purposes, thus allowing more units in a given transport container (i.e. truck) and thereby reducing the overall cost per unit for transportation.
In another exemplary embodiment, housing 102 rotates with respect a support surface. Such rotation may be accomplished either in an oscillatory fashion (over any angular range that may be desired), a stepwise positioning of housing 102 (either manually of under automated control), or in a constant rotation, either in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. As shown, the mechanism for rotation may be located within or below housing 102 and coupled between housing 102 and base 128.
Electric heater 100 may also include a controller, such as control assembly 126 mounted, for example, on top 107 t of housing 102 for controlling one or more functions of the device, such as for example, the speed of blower assembly 110, the rotation or oscillation of the device, power on/off, etc. Alternatively, control assembly 126 may be mounted in base 128 or lower portion of housing 102. Alternatively, control of electric heater 100 may be accomplished by a remote control unit 126 a in conjunction with or as a replacement for control assembly 126.
The position of the control assembly 126 on top 107 t of housing 102 on the substantially vertical, upright and elongate structure of electric heater 100 also benefits the user in that the height of the controller above a support surface (floor) allows convenient accessibility for visual inspection and manual adjustment of the controller.
The use of a PTC elongated heating element, for example, requires that the length "L" to width "W" aspect ratio be designed to achieve the proper watt density and flow through characteristics. For example, the use of a 1500 watt PTC elongated heating element limits length "L" of elongated heating element 300 a or 300 b, in that the watt density within the heating element will not heat the surfaces of heating element 300 a or 300 b sufficiently if length "L" is too long and width "W" is too wide. This insufficient heating of the elongated heating element will in turn create insufficient heating of the exhaust air stream. The ratios and dimensions as described allow the elongated heating element to have the desired vertical aspect ratio while creating the desired watt density within the elongated heating element.
In one embodiment, elongate electric heating element 300 a or 300 b utilizes a single vertical row of PTC ceramic stones 306. Ceramic stones 306 can be flanked on at least one side by heat dissipation fins 308. Heat is generated in ceramic stones 306. Heat dissipation fins 308 serve to transfer heat from ceramic stones 306 into the air flow passing through electric heating element 300 a or 300 b. The single row of ceramic stones 306, as shown, has an advantage over a conventional heating element having two or more parallel rows of ceramic stones and two or more rows of heat dissipation fins. The single row design does not require that one of the rows of heat dissipation fins be in contact with a parallel row of heat dissipation fins. This prevents the migration of heat from one row of heat dissipation fins to the parallel row of heat dissipation fins. This in turn allows the available heat dissipation capability of the heat dissipation fins to be used by the row of ceramic stones to which it corresponds.
The elongated heating element so designed in combination with a blower assembly allows electric heater 100 to have an elongated vertical aspect ratio (best shown in
To achieve the desired vertical aspect ratio of electric heater 100, the relationship between these dimensions are described below:
i) A vertical aspect ratio of overall height "H" to overall housing diameter dimension "E" being greater than about 2:1
ii) A first comparative ratio of heat elevation "HE" to overall housing diameter dimension "E" being greater than about 2:1.
iii) A second comparative ratio of heat elevation "HE" to width "W" of elongated heating element 116 being greater than about 12:1.
The vertical design of electric heater 100 with the aspect ratios described allows the heated air flow to effect the upper body portion of the user. Thus, increasing the immediate heating effect experienced by the user. The vertical aspect ratio of heater 100 in conjunction with the vertical aspect ratio of elongated heating element 116 allows the heated air stream 402 to also exit close to support surface 409. This allows heated air stream 402 to increase a heating effect on a lower portion of the user. The vertical design also allows electric heater 100 to have space saving characteristics.
Also shown in
In one embodiment air impeller 112 is a limited volume impeller. The velocity of air stream 402 is fixed in that it must be able to effectively reach the user. The desired temperature of air stream 402 is also fixed in that it must deliver an adequate temperature differential between ambient air and heated air stream 402. Elongate heating element 116 may be a PTC heating element with a fixed maximum wattage of 1500 W for example. This fixed wattage requirement along with the fixed temperature and velocity requirements of air stream 402 determines a fixed watt density requirement of elongate heating element 116. The fixed watt density requirement of elongate heating element 116 is achieved by the proper length "L" and width "W" of elongate heating element 116. Thus, the area of elongate heating element 116 is fixed in that it must have the required watt density to sufficiently heat air stream 402 to the desired temperature. Air flow through the heating element may be stated:
Where: Q is the volume (cubic feet per minute) of air flowing through elongate heating element 116, A is the area of elongate heating element 116 and V is the desired velocity of heated air stream 402. The volume of air Q must be limited for the desired velocity V to be achieved while not exceeding the 1500 watt output requirement of elongate heating element 116.
An effective way to limit volume Q of impeller 112 is to reduce its diameter. The limited diameter of impeller 112 more easily allows air blower assembly 110 to fit within the elongated housing 102 of electric heater 100, thus maintaining the desired vertical aspect ratio.
The vertical aspect ratio of housing 102, and air impeller 112 of blower assembly 110 allow the oscillating components of electric heater 100 to be substantially on center with central axis "A" thus increasing the stability of electric heater 100.
The substantially vertical, upright and elongate structure of electric heater 100, (which includes the vertical aspect ratio of housing 102 and may include an elongated heating element 116 and elongated impeller 112) helps to minimizes the vertical distance above the support surface, (floor) to the center of gravity of electric heater 100. This structure, along with substantially centering the oscillating components along central axis "A", coupled with the reduced effects of gyroscopic precession during oscillation, increase the stability of electric heater 100. This increased stability allows dimension "BB" of base 128 to be minimized. Dimension "BB" is equal to the largest horizontal cross section dimension through base 128. The minimized dimension "BB" of base 128 allows electric heater 100 to have further space saving characteristics and, to be easily transported from place to place within a living space or between various living spaces as desired. In one embodiment Dimension "BB" of base 128 is less than about 60% of overall height "H" of electric heater 100.
Protective grill 506 may have a vertical aspect ratio wherein its length is greater than its width. The vertical aspect ration of protective grill 506 may be substantially similar to the ratios for elongated heating element 116 or elongated air outlet 104. Protective grill 106 may be, for example aligned with the longitudinal length of housing 102 of electric heater 100.
Also shown in
Air containment frame 604 and air alignment elements 606 may be separate components or formed together as an integral part. It is also contemplated that air containment frame 604 and air alignment elements 606 may be an integral part of another component of electric heater 100 such as for example, heating element 116 or housing 102.
The ability to efficiently pass air flow 602 through protective grill 506 allows air flow 602 to project away from electric heater 100 and into the surrounding area. The thermal energy carried by air stream 602 will more quickly reach the user, thus allowing the user to experience an immediate heating effect.
The substantially vertical, upright and elongate structure of electric heater 100 also benefits user 701 in that the shape of heated exhaust air stream 702 may be elongate and vertical as it exits housing 102. An elongate and vertical shape of heated exhaust air stream 702 generally conforms to the human body.

Numerous variations, changes and substitutions will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The desk clerk took special delight that we could not get in our room until 3. Then they had no luggage racks and nobody to help even though we are handicapped. Later.We saw people getting help with their luggage. The toilet ran all the time and the room was as "no frills" as you could get.
Very nice
The room was comfortable. Moved here from City Express which had a hard bed. This bed was comfortable, the room was very clean, and the breakfast was good. We also washed a load of clothes, which is free, but the dryer is slow. The staff was excellent! They were so helpful with questions about the area and anything else we needed. I liked this hotel much better than many I have stayed in for triple the price.
Rooms very small
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

I have another cotton robe, and it is too stiff and heavy. This one is just right - soft, absorbent waffle weave. It barely fits though - size 2X, wish it came in plus size. Fits my husband fine (Men's XL)

I was unsure about this "one size fits all" as I weigh 175 lbs. This robe comes full and long, it is perfect!!!
Fri Apr 29 00:00:00 MDT 2016Tara B. Rating:5.0
This robe is just as it appears - one size fits most, high quality terry cloth, washes well and fills the need for a robe. I can't get too excited about a robe, sorry.
Mon Nov 30 00:00:00 MST 2015clwpurchaser Rating:4.0
This is a good quality robe but the "one size fits all" makes a sloppy fit on my smaller frame. I should have realized it would be big on me. Keeping it anyway but I won't be wearing it whenever I care how I look.
Thu Aug 20 00:00:00 MDT 2015kdawn60 Rating:4.0
This is a one size fits all and is extremely large - I would typically wear a M/L. This is much larger. Also heavy. Good for cold winter - not so good in hot summer. Would have preferred a detached belt. The belt is sewn in place which impacts fit. I bought the navy - true to color.

A one size fits all traditional cotton terry bath robe. Comfortable and washes well.
Tue Apr 21 00:00:00 MDT 2015Jean K. Rating:4.0
This was a very nice robe of good quality. I had to return it though because it was huge on me. One size fits all did not work for me.

the quality of this organic cotton one-size-fits-all robe is superior in every way. before this purchase I never realized how much better organic cotton felt. the drape and feel of the organic cotton fabric is luxurious. the color is deep and appealing, a richly drenched navy blue color---not a cheap dye job. the robe is very well constructed, comfortable, very, very roomy, with two large pockets, and falls to mid calf on my 5'5" frame. this is not a skimpy, tight fitting robe and must be wrapped and tied on my thin frame which makes it really look like I am wearing a Japanese kimono :-). the sewed on belt is an additional nice touch. overall it is far better than I expected it would be. really perfect for warmer, muggier summer months.

My husband needed a lightweight bathrobe for use during the warmer months of the year, so I gave him this waffle-weave robe for his birthday. It is exactly what he wanted and I couldn't be happier with the quality. It is very similar to the robes supplied at spas and some hotels, and I didn't have to worry about what size to order because one size fits most. It is even monogrammed for a personal touch!
You have plenty of big, fluffy towels to keep you warm when you hit the bathroom's cold tile floor after a shower. But haven't you forgotten something? Staying cozy after you have dried off requires a bathrobe to wear when you really need to warm up. A luxurious bathrobe can be a particularly great addition to your morning or evening shower or simply a soft piece of clothing to wrap up in on a lazy weekend. Still not convinced you need to buy one? Here are five more reasons you'll want to make sure you have a robe in your bathroom. Read More

Does the Pastor of Roca Firme Drive a Mercedes????
Posted in the Eagle Pass Forum
#43 Mar 21, 2011
This is not to say that he rules the world completely; only God does this. But it does mean that God, in His infinite wisdom, has allowed Satan to operate in this world (within the boundaries God has set for him) and has allowed Satan to operate with an agenda. When the Bible says Satan has power over the world.
Ephesians 2:2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience
1 John 5:19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
2 Corinthians 4:4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Satan's agenda includes pushing a false philosophy onto the unbelieving worlda false philosophy that blinds the unbeliever from the truth of the Gospel. Satans philosophies are the fortresses in which people are imprisoned, needing to be set free and brought captive to Christ in obedience to the truth.

I'm selling maps to the starzzz.
Take Bibb heading north like you are going to the EPJH. One block before you get to EPJH, at the four way stop on Misty Willow St. take a left. Go one block til you hit Timber Valley. Turn to the left and immediately park your tourist bus on the right hand curb. Now Rubberneck your fathead to the left and prepare to drop your jaw. You have arrived at the house that the lord has made. However, don't expect to hear angels singing. You'll more likely to hear sheep. Every brick and mortar of the reddish-brown and cream colored palace was paid by the ignorant sheep in our town. When you get tired of oogling all you want and shaking your head in disbelief, turn your miserable little car on (if it starts that is) and take yourself out for a treat at our local MickeyDees. You deserve a break today.

Not only he drivers Mercedes, so do some of his cold hearted leaders that don't even care about they're family! Hypocrites, they will all burn in Hell! Hell is full of false preachers, and religious people. Apostle, whatever! Ask your pastor about the person who killed a father,for HIS money, its a member of this cult! Let's see if their conscience will let them spend all his money and be at ease with God. Talk about brainwashing! Beware of false prophets, people! The love of money is a sin!!!!!!

I am a pastors wife in MN, I used to live in EP and I randomly came across this thread and I don't know Roca Firme or nothing about the pastor there. But my husband the pastor of our church drives a clk 500 merzedes and I drive a BMW very nice beasts. My husband and I don't take any money from the church since my husband also has a regular job. We can afford the vehicles and the house we have because God has blessed us for our faithfulness to him. Maybe that is the case with this pastor, Nothing wrong with having nice things. It is wrong to love those things more than God, but when that happens God takes care of that.

i want you to come to their church and be a member,they will put you to work right away,selling tickets for plates sales.and the money goes to him and his cult member.you are expected to sell 30 tickets at 6.50 a plate.each week.none of them have regular jobs.no one works,theyd rather have the people who attend their church sell tickets for them.to me thats like slavery work.

. People from Eagle Pass have a very hard time seeing others prosper which explains all these posts. I can guarantee there is no stealing and that pastor has been blessed. Nobody has been forced to give anything. The mentality here is very primitive. Good for you and your pastor driving those cars. Nothing wrong with it.

Hasnt anyone thought of "A LEASE ON A VEHICLE"?? the time that Pastor spends in church is his job.....his career...so obviously he gets pay out of it. Members shouldnt give offerings or tithes wondering whats going to happen with it...you give it with thankfullnes to God for everythang hes done for you. If its used for anything else...all you have to know is that you gave with all your heart.

hi- this and the next comment are from ~2years ago on another rc thread:
about three weeks ago a very sincere comment was inappropriately and unconstitutionally blocked several times from another rf column (column which has itself now disappeared) before finally being posted-- and now there also seems to be discussion of eradicating this entire beneficial and outstanding forum-- Texas is very cool and excellent about religious freedoms-- purchases of fundamental religious texts from recognised world faiths arent taxed for example-- and people are allowed to gather together for religious reasons in locations that aren't taxed in the same way--
but some people abuse this governmental decency so badly and blatantly that it endangers the fundamental freedom of free worship by calling into question such things as taxation exemptions--
it's sort of hard to legally argue for separation of 'church and state' without invoking actual involvement and intercession on the part of the state-- exactly the opposite of maintaining separation in the first place-- and the IRS frowns on abuses of tax exemptions--'private clubs' aren't exempt as are 'places of worship'--
and the line is expected to be honorably drawn and honorably respected on the parts of the clergy/ priesthood/ sensei/ guru/ cleric/ officiant and congregation members-- and probably 999 times out of a thousand-- or better-- it is--
it is very sad to consider that one misled and horrendous abuse of religious freedom may receive 10,000 times as much public and media attention as the thousands of benevolent and beneficial and beautiful organisations receive-- and that it won't take very many more such abuses and attendant negative media, government and public attention before the separation of church and state becomes fundamentally eroded-- tax exemption is supposed to mean that with the little money You can get together You can buy 10% more blankets for people who are cold-- not for personal preening and self-aggrandaisement-- the concept is called 'charity' and 'good works'-- and is somewhat described in The Letter of James The Brother of Jesus The Christ

I have read that the Mammoth and Gardiner areas of Yellowstone have large elk herds as winter approaches. We'll be there the 3rd week of Sept and have reservations for 1 night at Mammoth, but wondering if we should make it two in order to try to get to hear the bugling, etc. Any advice?

I can't speak for Yellowstone, but in Rocky Mtn NP the elk are not hard to find. If you're worried about not seeing them, or that they won't be bugling I'd say you have nothing to worry about. They will be out and active. But if it were me, I'd book 2 nights just because I wouldn't want to leave.
Report Abuse
I've been to Yellowstone in late September and there were TONS of elk all around the Mammoth area. If you are into Bison I've seen a lot of them around the Lake Yellowstone Hotel and on the roads north of the hotel. The Lake Hotel is my favorite hotel at Yellowstone.
Report Abuse
We were in Yellowstone in June and here were herds of Bison EVERYWHERE! Lots of babies too!!!!
Report Abuse
In September, it's just about a sure thing that you'll hear plenty of bugling and you see plenty of elk, moose and bison in both the Teton and Yellowstone.

One of the best places is along the Madison River from Madison Jct back towards W Yellowstone. There are usually three or four large groups of cows and 5-6 bulls. At dawn will usually have fog lifting off the river which adds to the drama.
Report Abuse
Thank you all! The opportunity to see so much wildlife is thrilling to us. This is DH's first trip to Yellowstone, and my first trip back since I was a child. I am making a list of where to spot animals in the Teton and Yellowstone areas so I'm researching here, the Yellowstone forum, and other sites to learn all I can. Thanks again!
