Bigger Is Better!
Bear Lake has over 160 square miles of turquoise blue water! It is also known as the Caribbean of the Rockies.
We know what you want!
The resort area is known for excellent boating and water skiing.
We've got you covered!
There are several locations on the water where you can rent boats, waverunners, sailboats, paddle boats, canoes, and kayaks.
Closer to heaven!
Early morning and late evening are the best times to experience water skiing on water as smooth as glass!
Scuba Diving
Deep water!
Scuba Diving is popular on the east shore of Bear Lake, where the water is 208 feet deep. The water is clear and there are some interesting caverns to explore! Equipment is not currently offered at this location so make sure you bring your own gear.
Sailors Haven!
Sailing has always been a favorite sport on Bear Lake because of winds that range from gentle to challenging usually occurring from late morning till late afternoon.
Every trail is a scenic wonderland!
A stroll along the lake can be very enjoyable whether it is along the beach, or on the paved Bear Lake Scenic trail. There are also miles and miles of forested mountain trails that are breathtaking and waiting to be explored.
Old Limber Pine Nature Hike
Located right at the summit over-looking Bear Lake one will find a trail winding through the pine forest to an old limber pine that is some 2,000 plus years old.
The hike is approximately one half mile but well worth the effort.
Old Ephraim
Inside Logan Canyon you might be interested to know of another trail that leads to the grave site of Old Ephraim, a very large grizzly bear, that raised havoc with the early pioneers and didn't go down without a fight.
Five miles of paved path!
Biking is equally enjoyed with hiking. The Bear Lake Scenic trail covers 5 miles in the Garden City area. Along the trail you may enjoy the picturesque view of Bear Lake. A portion of the trail goes through the center of Garden City. You may want to take a minute to shop at the various gift shops or stop and enjoy one of the famous Bear Lake Raspberry Shakes. They are one of a kind!
Horseback Riding
Close to Nature!
Trails in nearby Logan Canyon wind through the high mountain wilderness area. Just minutes from Bear Lake, you can be astride a horse and a million miles from home. As you ride through the picturesque canyon trails, enjoy nature and the wildlife of the Rocky Mountains.
Bring your own horses and there are trails everywhere in the Cache and Caribou National Forests. Many hunters use horses during the fall hunting seasons in order to help transport downed big game animals in areas restricted to all vehicles. All hay entering the national forest must be certified "weed-free".
Trails Unlimited
Bear Lake and the Cache National Forest has hundreds of miles of designated roads and some trails through some of the most pristine and scenic areas to be found anywhere. ATV'S are becoming increasingly popular and most services are provided to make your adventure unforgettable.
Underground Wonders
Minnetonka Cave is a fascinating 9 room cave of stalactites, stalagmites, and banded travertine. Enjoy a 90 minute, half mile walk into this beautiful cave. Be prepared for the 400 steps down and up in the cave. Bring a jacket, since the cave is cool. The cave is located 9 miles up St. Charles Canyon.
A must see for any visitor to Bear Lake!

The reserve is home of sandhill cranes, herons, snowy egret, white pelicans and a variety of duck. The Refuge has one of the largest Canadian goose producing areas in the western U.S. Walking trails take you to view the birds and other wildlife found at the Refuge. In many cases you can view many of these birds along with deer and moose just around town.

Five Napa Valley restaurants on Michelin's 2013 Bay Area Bib Gourmand list
It's that time of year again–time for the annual Michelin Guide to the best Bay Area dining.
Earlier this week Michelin released its 2013 Bib Gourmand picks, with the Napa Valley checking in with five restaurants (down from seven in 2012).
According to a release, the 2013 Bib Gourmands "…were selected by Michelin's esteemed and anonymous food inspectors and they represent restaurants that serve two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included). Most importantly, they are the restaurants that the company's inspectors frequent themselves."
The Napa Valley restaurants included on the 2013 list are:
Bistro Jeanty in Yountville
C Casa in Napa
Cook St. Helena in St. Helena
Oenotri in Napa
Redd Wood in Yountville
Which of the five are your favorites?

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville has revealed that she has had troubles with moving. She has moved quite a bit over the past couple of years. On the first episode of the fourth season of the show, which just ended, she rented a house that her then-boyfriend helped her find. But it sounds like she has already moved out of the home again, without telling anyone where she was going.
According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on May 1, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville is now revealing that she has packed up the home she moved into while filming the show to move to another location. "Moving out! Not sure where were going but we are in good hands with Meathead Movers," she revealed on Twitter. "371 the estimated times I said f-ck or f-cker today while packing-moving." Of course, she has plenty of things to consider.
She has been filming the "Celebrity Apprentice" in New York and competing with other celebrities, but it sounds like she had to fly back to handle this move. Unless, of course, she was fired by Donald Trump. Brandi had to move out of her home because the owners of the rented home decided to sell. Just a few months back, she hinted of a home loan, meaning she could be looking for another place. "We have only been here 9 months, grrrr," she wrote at the time.
It sounds like she has managed to get a home loan offer, which allows her to buy a home. One can imagine she wants to buy a home so she can give her sons a stable home without having to move constantly. What do you think of her moving tweets? Do you think she should buy a home and create a stable home for her sons?

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your kind words about my instruments.
Yes, ash back and sides on that instrument, which I call a zoukulele. Though it looks like a mando, it's tuned like a tenor uke: GCEA (low to high).
I've never actually heard the term "alto mando" before. How is that tuned? And what's the scale length?
The other instrument you asked about (at least, the one I think you're asking about) is a guitar-bouzouki, custom designed and built for an Irish player named Tony Dunne. It is tuned ADGBE, with octave pairs on the A, D, and G courses, and unisons on the B and E. Scale length is 25.6" (650mm). Here's Tony playing both of these instruments at the Newport Guitar Festival in Florida last April:
Take care,

Festival Sayulita To Return in 2015
Published May 7, 2014, 11:47am -
The first annual Festival Sayulita, presented by SayulitaBeach.com, was a huge success, creating a unique gathering for all lovers of Mexico, film, tequila, food, music & surf. Festival Sayulita, 2015 is already set for January 14-18th and promises an even broader variety of international films, spirit tastings, live music, surf events and local cuisine.
2015 Festival Sayulita will continue the highlights of last year's Festival, including a 7 meter beach viewing screen, a signature Master Tasting where a variety of Mexican artisan spirits can be sampled, a family-friendly surf completion, and multi-course food pairing dinners. In addition, this year's planning committee is partnering with sponsors to add venues and events which will make the festival even more memorable. An indoor film venue will feature matinees, leaving the evenings open for those wishing to partake in the "spirit" and music portions of the festival. Evening events will expand to include dinner theater and a music stage for live bands. One entire evening will be dedicated to a retro drive-in theatre event that will be able to accommodate cars, golf carts, ATV's and folks on foot. To ensure the littlest amongst us have fun, a Dia de los Nino's (Children's Day) is in the works, which will feature games and prizes in the plaza and a special viewing night for children at the Casa de la Cultura.
As in the previous year, there will be all kinds of options to attend this event, from free to VIP. Due to many requests, VIP ticket availability will increase. VIPs will again be welcome to movie preview nights, special seating throughout the event, and private tastings. A VIP lounge will allow VIPs to access concierge service throughout the Festival and provide a secluded get-away space during the weekend. To accommodate VIP ticket sales, these tickets will be on sale starting in July, 2014.
The colorful coastal town of Sayulita, in Riviera Nayarit, provides the perfect background for this multicultural festival. Once known for its fishing business and scenic beaches, Sayulita now boasts a thriving community of local, Mexican restaurants and craftsman alongside trendsetting establishments. Surfing, paddle boarding, yoga, mountain biking and other outdoor activities helps make Sayulita an irresistible destination. Festival Sayulita will highlight these many assets while spicing up the town with new and never-been-seen international films, diverse and cutting-edge musical groups and spirits from boutique Mexican manufactures of tequila, whisky, wine and hand-crafted beer.
This is an event not to miss! Last year's Festival sold out, so get your flight, housing and Festival tickets early! For complete details of the Festival, go to www.festivalsayulita.com or follow the festival on Facebook.

More than 1 billion outfits have been designed for Barbie since she debuted at a toy fair in 1959. Her high-fashion wardrobe includes contributions from more than 50 top designers, including Diane von Furstenberg, Calvin Klein and Vera Wang.
Inventor Ruth Handler and Barbie's first clothing designer, Charlotte Johnson, insisted on authenticity. As a result, Barbie's outfits included features like tiny working zippers, luxurious liners and sparkly jewelry. Doris Day and Jacqueline Kennedy served as Johnson's inspirations for Barbie's early wardrobe.
Each year Mattel's marketing team makes sure that Barbie gets recognized at New York Fashion Week via runway shows that highlight her evolving style. This year Barbie will model an updated version of her original black-and-white striped swimsuit in Sports Illustrated's 50th anniversary swimsuit issue. Work it, Barbie!
—Michael Q. Bullerdick
Barbie anniversary fun fact…

We are a couple with two teenage children and have spent four wonderful days in Lisbon staying at this apartment. It is conveniently located right in the city center and easy to move on foot or by public transport to all the sights. The apartment is very bright and has great views as they appear in the photographs of presentation. It is ideal for a few days for your comfort and equipment. Its owner Ana Quintino is very friendly and gives all sorts of information and facilities to make your stay more pleasant. Sure you repeat visit later to continue learning and enjoying Lisbon and complete what we had time to do.
Somos un matrimonio con dos hijos adolescentes y hemos pasado cuatro días maravillosos en Lisboa alojados en este apartamento.
Está muy bien situado, justo en el centro de la ciudad y facilita desplazarse tanto a pie como en transporte público a todos los lugares de interés.
El apartamento es muy luminoso y tiene unas vistas fantásticas tal y como aparecen en las fotografías de presentación.
Es ideal para pasar unos días por su confort y equipamiento. Su dueña Ana Quintino es muy amable y te da todo tipo de información y facilidades para hacerte mas grata la estancia.
Seguro que repetiremos visita mas adelante para seguir conociendo y disfrutando Lisboa y completar lo que no nos dio tiempo a hacer.
Very beautiful apartment, in the centre of the historic Lisbon, wonderful view of Rossio, the main square in town. My stay in Casa Rossio has been really delightful. Thank you Roger!
The apartment itself is nice and pleasantly decorated, but you have no view. You look only on the first floor of boring buildings. Unfortunately the shower was broken and that in the three days we stayed not restore hit. With a heat of 35 ° C that is not pleasant. The transfer should be done quickly so we got very little tips.
het appartement zelf is leuk en aangenaam ingericht, maar je hebt er geen uitzicht. Je kijkt enkel op de eerste verdieping van saaie gebouwen. Helaas was de douche stuk en die is in de drie dagen dat we er verbleven niet hersteld geraakt. Bij een warmte van 35 ° C is dat niet aangenaam. De overdracht moest razendsnel gebeuren waardoor we maar heel weinig tips kregen.
Very favorable opinion very well located apartment bright and very clean and comfortable with lots of charm only problem for us a bit cramped for 5 adults heureuseument the city is so beautiful and so attractive neighborhood
Avis tres favorable
appartement tres bien situé lumineux et très propre confortable et avec beaucoup de charme
seule difficulté pour nous un peu exigu pour 5 adultes
heureuseument la ville est si belle et le quartier si attractif
We were in the house in the Alfama district in December the bridge. The truth is that the floor was charming with its two floors and views from the windows of the roof. Fully equipped and very clean. We went with two young children and had a blast. On the other hand is really at 60 seconds of the initial stop of tram 28, three minutes from Rossio Square and wondering from home up in ten minutes in the San Jorge Castle. Unbeatable location. Delighted.
Estuvimos en la casa del barrio de Alfama en el puente de diciembre. La veras es que el piso era encantador, con sus dos pisos y sus vistas desde las ventanas del tejado. Totalmente equipado y muy limpio. Fuimos con dos niños pequeños y se lo pasaron genial.
Por otro lado está realmente a 60 segundos de la parada inicial del tranvía 28, a tres minutos de la plaza de Rossío y callejeando desde la casa hacia arriba en diez minutos en el castillo de San Jorge. Inmejorable situación. Encantados.
L'appartement est très bien situé dans le quartier de l'alfama ,mais très bruyant puisqu'au bord d'une rue passante .Un restaurant avec terrasse est situé juste au pied de l'immeuble. L'hôte est très sympa,mais n'était pas là à mon arrivée.
Je ne recommande pas cet appartement.
Bellissimo appartamento attrezzato di tutto silenzioso posizione centrale è vicino ai mezzi pubblici e metro nonché' grande pargheggio. Disponibilita' del proprietario, chiarezza di informazioni gentilezza e puntualità'. Che desiderare di più'? Direi perfetto e consigliatissimo
Sehr grosse, geräumige und mit schönen alten Möbeln ausgestattete Wohnung.
Liegt ideal an der Tram-Linie 28 und ist somit ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für alle Besichtigungen . Sehr netter und flexibler Gastgeber ( Alexandre ), der uns sogar zum Supermarkt gefahren hat.
Die Wohnung ist wirklich empfehlenswert !!!
Todo correcto y en perfectas condiciones. Gracias.
Muy simpatico y amable

Defend the Earth from alien invaders in this unique 1950s style space shooter! It's the golden age of space exploration. As mankind begins to venture out into space, a mysterious alien armada appears and launches an all-out assault on the Earth. Space Command calls on its best pilot, Rick Rocket, to take the controls of the experimental X-01 rocket ship and repel the invaders. Join Rick on an epic adventure across the Milky Way as he tries to learn who the aliens are and why they attacked Earth! This story-driven shooter features a wide variety of creative mission styles (every level is different), over 30 different enemies that show real damage as they're hit (no silly, artificial health bars), and intense space battles between opposing fleets!
I bought this game a while ago for my son. I was surprised. It looked like it was just a cute, kid friendly 2d shooter. It actually has an interesting plot and a nice mix of level objectives, power ups and types of opponents. I remember the steering taking a little getting used to. In the end it didn't stop me from wanting to complete the game.
It is basically a cute, 2d shooter, but I think it is a fun one.
This game is so much fun, but it gets hard out of the blue. Props for supporting Linux as well.
A wonderful game from a great developer. A lot of fun for the younger crowd, as well as the older crowd looking for a quick diversion.

Post-disaster money do's and don'ts
By Julie
Bandy Bankrate.com
shock of terrorist attacks is numbing, but their actions will not
undermine your finances.
Here's the big picture: The Federal Reserve Board,
the institution that controls the flow of cash in our monetary system,
issued a reassurance just hours after the attack, letting the nation
know more cash can and will be pumped into our system if necessary.
On Wednesday, Sept. 12, the board added an unusually large $38.25
billion in temporary reserves into the U.S. banking system. Plus,
the FDIC protects your money in the bank.
But, you wonder, is there anything special I should
do to protect my personal finances? Is my money really safe? Here
are some do's and don'ts for those who were not directly affected
by the terrorist attacks.
Do: Pay your regular monthly
bills more promptly this month.
With the nation's air carriers grounded for six days following the
attacks, the U.S. mail system will be slowed down at least for the
next week or so. Allow for a little extra time so your payments
will be timely.
Do: Consider paying your bills
online, by phone or directly to payee.
If you haven't used the online-payment option for your bills, check
it out. You'll save on postage and be assured that the payment is
on time. Some companies, especially utilities offer consumers the
opportunity to pay by check over the phone at no additional fee.
Another option is to deliver your payment to the payee. If your
mortgage is sent to the bank's processing center far away, you may
be able to drop off your payment at its local branch to avoid late-fee
Do: Be more diligent in your
Keep good records of your monthly bill payments and hang on to all
your ATM receipts, bank deposit slips and the like. You should do
this anyway, but it would be wise to keep more detailed records
of your payments just in case you need it for back up.
Do: Track 'borderline' checks.
If you know you're close to being late on a payment, monitor your
bank account and follow it closely. Payments you dropped off at
the post office over the weekend of Sept. 8 or early in the week
may have a tough time clearing if they have a long way to go and
a short time to get there. As a pre-emptive measure, contact the
payee to let them know you may be a tad late this month. Under the
circumstances, they may cut you a break.
Do: Make sure your payments
have been received.
Contact your mortgage company, credit card issuers and other companies
you do business with to make sure they have received your payments.
It's better to be proactive now than to be scrambling later to prove
you made the payment.
Do: Give blood.
The burn victims especially are in need of the plasma. Make a monetary
donation to your local Red Cross or other organization offering
aid to the families directly affected by the attacks. Click
here for more information.
Don't panic.
You don't need to buy a gun, carry a wad of cash or lug around a
100-pound bag of rice.
Don't hit up your ATM for
a large amount of cash.
There's no need to hoard cash. Our nation's banks are open and operating
normally; the infrastructure is not damaged. We have electricity
to operate the ATMs and the assurance of the Federal Reserve Board
and the FDIC that our cash reserves are secure.
Don't rush out and fill your
car with gas.
The nation's largest oil companies including, ExxonMobil and Chevron
put a freeze on prices and pledge to keep distribution steady. We
don't need to stockpile gasoline. In fact, one gas station in Oklahoma
that had raised gas prices to $5 a gallon on the day of the attacks
is now offering to refund his customers the amount they overcharged
in panic.
Don't cancel a planned financial
If you planned to close on a house this week, or are ready to sign
the papers for a refinance, do it. America's financial institutions
are secure.
Don't fall for scams.
Be on the lookout for "disaster deals" -- no such thing.
Consumers need to be extra vigilant with personal information. Do
not release any personal banking information such as account numbers
or balances to anyone.

College Hockey:As one road ends for Providence, another begins
BOSTON — Providence took on the consensus No. 1 team in the country, the Boston College Eagles, and played them tough, even holding a 2-1 lead early in the first period. In the end, though, BC did what No. 1 teams typically do, namely overcome early deficits and put away teams they're supposed to beat.
BC defeated Providence 4-2 on Friday in the Hockey East semifinals, ending the Friars' season. The last three years, however, the Friars failed to qualify for the Hockey East playoffs at all. To have not only qualified but also advanced to the TD Garden equates to a huge step forward for the program.
"You have to take it as a learning experience," said PC coach Nate Leaman after the loss. "There's no doubt that we didn't execute as well as we would have liked tonight.
"A lot of that was the environment. BC has been in this situation 10 or 11 times between Beanpots and Hockey East [tournament] games. I thought we showed a lot of maturity last weekend [defeating Massachusetts-Lowell in the quarterfinals], but tonight we probably showed immaturity.
"But the big thing going forward is we've put ourselves in this position. Now we have to get back to this position and have success with it."
Leaman was hired during the offseason following eight years at Union that culminated in him winning the Spencer Penrose Award as the national coach of the year. Season after season, his Union teams made incremental improvements. To start that process off on the right foot at Providence, Leaman needed to bring in new talent but also get contributions from a senior class that had yet to participate in a single playoff game.
"The seniors led by example on and off the ice," said Ross Mauermann, a freshman who became the team's leading scorer. "Just seeing what they went through the last three years, not making the playoffs, and the excitement they had this year when we made it [was great].
"They've been dreaming of getting here for three years. We wanted to get them here and get the program back here.
"My hat's off to the seniors. We played our hearts out but came up short."
So while the loss to BC amounted to the end of the road for those seniors, they could recognize that getting this far was a major accomplishment and a potential steppingstone for even better things in future years.
"It's a proud moment for the program," said senior co-captain Danny New. "We're the class that got it back on track [along] with a good team of younger guys, too. Obviously, our goal was to go further than tonight but I think for the program, the alums, and all the people at the school, we made a lot of people proud. We got ourselves back on track here."
One road ends. Another begins.

Artist: Rihanna
Song: We Found Love
The first single off of the sixth studio album, Talk That Talk was released on iTunes on Septermber 22, 2011. Until recently, radio stations would play the song on continuous rotation and you would hear it in your favorite local bars and clubs. Today, Rihanna released the music video for the song featuring boxer turned new lover Dudley O' Shaughnessy and now we can finally stamp a visual to the underlining meaning. In a world of not so great video's this one hits home with a story line and a message that keeps you glued. The narration at the very beginning of the video sets up the scene:
It's like you're screaming but no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone could that be that important, that without them you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless like nothing can save you. And when it's over and it's gone, you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back so you could have the good.
This is definitely one of Rihanna's best video's if not a contender for best video of the year. Enjoy!

Keith LaFave, of Excel Fire Protection, works on the sprinkler system in the new classrooms above the auto shop in the Carl Kleimola Technical Center on Thursday. The $4 million, summer-long project at Gogebic Community College is near completion. Classes begin Monday.
IRONWOOD TOWNSHIP — The $4 million project at the Carl Kleimola Technical Center on the campus of Gogebic Community College is set to finish on time, said project foreman Bill Tregembo, of Angelo Luppino, Inc.
Some electrical work will be completed through the end of the week, and carpets need to be installed, Tregembo said. All inspections have been completed.
Keith LaFave, of Excel Fire Protection, was installing sprinkler systems on Thursday.
Josh Pekuri, Lindquist Electric, was getting ready to run telephone and data lines.
Classes are scheduled in the new classrooms Monday morning, said dean of business services Erik Guenard.
Furniture is expected to be delivered today and Saturday.
The project was done in an environmentally friendly way, scoring very high on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design measures, said Guenard. The carpeting is recycled, the rooms make use of "daylighting" and urinals are waterless, as well as construction making use of space in a pre-existing building rather than building a new one.

As mentioned last week, the official list has been released by Baseball America and here's the rundown:
Devin Ivany
Nolan Brannon
Chase Lambin
Ofilio Castro
Pete Orr
Wilberto Ortiz
Pedro Lopez
Jason Botts
Leonard Davis
Chris Duncan
Marvin Lowrance
Edgardo Baez
Brad Coon
Jerry Owens
Jamar Walton
Starting Pitchers
Andrew Kown
Jason Jones
Jimmy Barthmaier
Zach Dials
Luis Garcia
Dan Leatherman
Carlos Martinez
Jesse English
Victor Garate
Glenn Gibson
Chuck James
Yunior Novoa
So Where Did You Screw Up?
Actually, all things considered, BinM caught most of my mistakes, of which most were guys in the lower levels (Nolan Brannon?!). Rafael Martin appears to be still with the organization, as is Brian Peacock. Considering that the most up-to-date transactions on BA are through October 31, it's more than possible that there are some more guys that resigned in the interim.
Perhaps more interesting is the trend of fewer and fewer guys testing the waters. In '07, there were 602. In '08, there were 561. In '09, there were 536. This year, it's 533. The only obvious theory? The poor economy has convinced some guys that maybe another year of a known quantity is better than taking their chances with hooking on elsewhere.
3 Responses to "Minor-League Free Agents, Redux"
Ivany, Lowrence, Kown, Garate, Gibson and James are worth keeping.
FWIW, Brannon was a guy the picked up off waivers from the Angels' Orginization; Had previously played at AA level (Arkansas). Clearly, he was either fighting an injury, or had completely lost it, as the Nationals released him from the GCL (R) level.
Glad I was wrong about Rafael Martin's status – He might be a 'player of interest' in either HAR or SYR in 2011. On a side-note, wasn't Peacock one of the last 'Draft & watch' players? That could explain him still being off the MLFA list for this year.

Forecast discussion: If you happened to be out and about around Rhode Island on Sunday, you would think it was early May. Clouds and east winds kept our temperatures quite cool, with the high only reaching 72 degrees. The temperature actually increased as some sunshine came from out of the clouds to warm the mercury.
The cooler weather is due to a frontal boundary that is parallel to the coastline of Southern New England. However, there was not a lot of moisture in the atmosphere to create any shower activity. As we go through the overnight, there may be some patchy drizzle or mist, as the dewpoint and temperature come close to one another. This will allow the creation of patchy fog into tomorrow morning.
As we go through the work week, the frontal boundary will remain in place. So, we will see partly sunny conditions into Wednesday. However any sunshine will help create some instability in our atmosphere, which will help create the risk of showers and thunderstorms. The best chance will be by the early afternoon, as we move closer to seeing the high temperature for the day.
By Wednesday, a cold front now north of the Great Lakes will move into New England. It will start in Northern New England, but move south during Wednesday night. This will help create the risk for some showers and thunderstorms into early Thursday morning. By Thursday, a high pressure system coming out of Canada will move west of New England. This high will become quasi-stationary, giving us sunny conditions into the following weekend. However, thanks to an upper level trough, we will not see any hot weather we are so known for in August. High temperatures will remain in the upper 70's to lower 80's.
Finally, it is time to give an update on Tropical Storm Bertha. As of 5 p.m. EDT, Bertha was centered at 23.3N 73.2W, or about 95 miles east-southeast of San Salvador. Maximum sustained winds are at 45 mph, and is moving northwest at 18 mph. The system is east of the Bahamas, and is forecast to begin turning more to the north in the next 24 hours. As of now, the track keeps the system away from the east coast. However, the system will continue to intensify, bringing increased seas and swells towards the mainland. By early Wednesday morning, it will be strong enough to be considered a hurricane. So, we may begin to see strong rip currents around our east facing beaches by Tuesday evening.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Cloudy with patchy drizzle and patchy fog. We will see a low of 64.
Monday: Partly to mostly sunny with the risk for afternoon showers or thunderstorms. We will see a high of 82. Winds will come from the south-southwest by the afternoon at 7-10 mph.

I recently finished reading former child actress and now journalist Melissa Francis' memoir Diary of a Stage Mother's Daughter. It details her life as a successful child actress on such shows as Little House on the Prairie and in hundreds of TV commercials and movies. It also details her and her family's life under the control of a domineering and abusive stage mother. Ms Francis and her father were subjected to much physical, mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual abuse. However, nothing compared to the way her big sister, Tiffany, was treated by their mother. At least young Melissa was treated like a human being every now and again. Her sister Tiffany was thrown away like garbage most of the time. All of the while, her mother would claim that she did everything for the kids and that she ( the mother) was deprived because of it. Unfortunately, their father rarely tried to do anything about it until much later. Then, it was too late. Their father was definitely abused too. However, in my viewpoint, his number one priority should have been the children. Warning, in some ways, this book does not end happily.
However, this book does end triumphantly. Melissa Francis decides one day that the cycle of abuse will end with her. You will have to read the book to find out how, but I assure you it is definitely worth reading. Sometimes, life needs to get extremely messy for it to get better.
Now, I am going to address a group of people that I normally do not address directly with my articles. I normally believe in addressing those who have come through adversity or who are working to come through adversity. They are truly awesome people. I am going to do something different this time and address the abusers of the world.
Abusers, you all know deep down who you are. If you do not know, then, you are lying to yourselves. You are also lying to all of the people that you feel you have a right to hurt because supposedly you are entitled to your victims' or potential victims' love and respect even though you treat them like garbage. I do not care if you are their parents, guardians, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, co-workers, or the guy or gal that lives next door or down the street from them. You have absolutely no right to abuse or hurt anyone. YOU ARE WRONG FOR ABUSING AND HURTING ANYONE!! Oh, you do not like my yelling. Well, excuse me. I thought maybe you would feel comfortable since that is what you do to people all of the time. I thought you would feel right at home. You Abusers are often extremely self-righteous and arrogant and believe that everyone is supposed to be smiling and happy even when you are hitting them with your words and/or your fists. It is wrong. You are behaving in the wrong way. Maybe your victims or potential victims will tolerate it for a while. One of these days, though, your victims or someone else is going to stand up and not take it anymore. Your abuse will not last forever. You will not be powerful forever, especially when you obtain your power by pushing other people around and knocking them down. It will not last forever!!
Now, back to the people I prefer to talk to, the victors and potential victors, please do not tolerate bad behavior. If you know or suspect that you or someone else is being abused; please tell someone about it. I understand that every situation is different. Tell a family member or a friend that you trust, a teacher, a co-worker, a boss, a neighbor, etc. Also, do not be afraid to go to law enforcement if the abusive situation is breaking the law or potentially breaking the law. You are a good and decent person. You do not deserve this crap. Please get help for you and/or someone else.

We do sell and strongly recommend Sheep's Fescue as a turf alternative. One of those really cool things that makes you wonder why this isn't a standard practice. Sheep's Fescue is a low fine textured grass which when established does not require watering, fertilizing. or even mowing if you don't want to. This is turf that fills the need for sustainable landscapes, those that do not draw on the limited resources (water) that we tend to take for granted.
We will have a booth at the Calgary Hort Show

Typical Antbirds (Thamnophilidae)
White-masked Antbird (Pithys castaneus) - HBW 8, p. 672
French: Fourmilier à masque blanc
German: Weißmasken-Ameisenvogel
Spanish: Hormiguero Castaño
Taxonomy: Pithys castanea Berlioz, 1938, Andoas, lower Río Pastaza, Ecuador-Peru; precise locality not determined, probably in Loreto, Peru.
May prove to be a member of an obligate ant-following clade. Relationships uncertain; retained in same genus as P. albifrons on grounds of similarities in vocalizations, but further study required. Until recent rediscovery, some authors considered that present species might be a hybrid of P. albifrons and some other antbird species. Determination of precise location of type locality problematic, partly because many villages in the region have same name, and also due to changing national boundaries. Monotypic.
Distribution: Lower R Pastaza and lower R Morona, in NE Peru; possibly also in adjacent Ecuador.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
diy decor, diy projects, Shabby Chic, flea market, bedside table, bedroom, decor
Old suitcases are a dime a dozen at thrift stores and flea markets; they were unloaded en masse when wheelies came around. The same holds true for old picnic baskets because, sadly, not many people pack up picnics anymore. I'm always tempted, especially by the old leather suitcases that have that distressed but durable wabi-sabi look that I love. I'm never completely sure what I would do with them, however.
Gina Luker, whose wonderful website The Shabby Chic Cottage is a wealth of fun, funky and frugal home decorating and entertaining ideas, has inspired me to start purchasing. Gina replaced her wobbly bedside table with a leather suitcase (that she picked up for $1) and two picnic baskets. She gave one basket, a $3 find, a coat of white paint and finished off her table with a basket she found for $5 in an antique store near Hunstville, Alabama.
I love this project because it doesn't require measuring tapes, glue guns or a sewing machine. You could dream up so many iterations, mixing and matching suitcases and baskets that you find during your treasure hunts or simply have on hand. Depending on what I find, I may even decoupage one of the suitcases.
My favorite part of this "table"? It doubles as storage for all those magazines, books and other detritus that piles up and makes my bedroom a cluttered mess. I can store extra sheets and blankets in the bottom suitcase. So I get new furniture and storage, all in one—that's a two-for-Tuesday.
Flea market baskets and a suitcase make a unique bedside table that doubles as storage. Photo by Gina Luker/The Shabby Chic Cottage

This phrase was coined by George Marcus and Michael Fischer to refer specifically to the uncertainty within the human sciences about adequate means of describing social reality. This crisis arises from the (noncontroversial) claim that no interpretive account can ever directly or completely capture lived experience . Broadly conceived, the crisis is part of a more general set of ideas across the human sciences that challenge long-standing beliefs about the role of encompassing, generalizing (theoretical, methodological, and political) frameworks that guide empirical research within ...

"A wonderful Roman town in Jordan" Top 5 Page for this destination Jarash by Cristian_Uluru
Jarash Travel Guide: 194 reviews and 693 photos
Jerash, or Gerasa as it was called during the Roman years, is a fantastic Roman town just 50 kilometres far from Amman.
I've never known nothing of this wonderful town before I visited Jordan. It is probably one of the best Roman towns outside Italy!!!
It is fantastic because everything is like it was 2000 years ago and you can imagine how the buildings were 2000 years ago.
The best monument of the town is the Oval Square, one of the best preserve outside Italy Fantastic is the Cardo Maximo where there are all the main buildings of the town, the Ninpheum, the Temple of Artemide and much more.
In August, in the South Theatre, there is the Jerash's festival.
You need almost half a day to see this wonderful town very well!!! The best season to visit it is in spring or in autumn when the weather is sunny and warm
Walking along the streets of Jerash is like to make a journey in the past.
The town was settled between the 6th and 7th centyry BC and it was a Neolithic settlement. Outside the walls to the north was a small Early Bronze Age village about 2500 B.C. The town was at one time cal]ed Antioch on the Chrysorrhoas, the latter, meaning "Golden River," being the somewhat grandiose name of the little stream which still separates the eastern from the western section. But the name "Antioch" is significant, and strongly suggests that it was one of the Seleucid Kings with the name Antiochus who was responsible for raising the little village to the status of great town, probably Antiochus IV in the early second century B.C. It could also have been accomplished by Ptolemy II (285 - 246 B. C.) when he changed Amman into the Hellenistic city of Philadelphia. At the end of the second or early first century B.C. we have the first historical reference to Jerash. In the year 63 B.C., Pompey, having overrun the Near East, divided it up into provinces, and Jerash and its lands were attached to the province of Syria. This was the great turning-point in the history of the town, and was recognised as such in its calendar to the very end of its life as an outpost of Western civilisation, for all its dates are given in the Pompeian era. From now until the middle of the first century A.D, Jerash seems to have had a quiet and peaceful time. It had a flourishing trade with the Nabataeans at this period, and many coins of King Aretas IV have been found. For somewhere in the middle of the first century A.D. we find the city launching out on a complete rebuilding programme. A comprehensive town plan was drawn up, the basis of which was the Street of Columns and the two streets crossing it at the North and South Tetrapylons. No substantial changes in this plan were made to the end of its days. With Emperor Tiberius Gerasa have been attaining a degree of wealth such as had not been seen before and has certainly not been repeated since. This antlike activity continued and even increased in the second century, when the Emperor Trajan extended the frontiers. annexed the Nabataean kingdom (A.D. 106), and built a fine series of roads. Two huge thermae, or baths, were built, without which no decentminded Roman citizen could contemplate existence for a moment. The Emperor Hadrian paid a personal visit to the city, staying there for part of the winter of 129- 30. His coming was the signal for a fresh outburst of building activity, and the Triumphal Arch was erected to celebrate his visit. This century saw the golden age of Jerash, when most of the great buildings one admires to- day were erected. Still others give the names of several provincial governors, procurators, and other officials, and mention the presence of soldiers of the III Cyrenaica and a tribune of the X Gemina legions. The peak was reached and passed early in the third century A.D., when Jerash was promoted to the rank of colony, and the grade is steadily downhill after that, with an occasional level stretch or even a little rise; but the best was over. But it was a gradual descent closely connected with the fortunes of the Roman Empire, and for Jerash there were no precipices on the road. Under Diocletian the Sassanians were defeated and there was a short level stretch during which some building, such as the circular plaza and the shops around the South Tetrapylon, was carried out. By the middle of the fourth century there was a large Christian community in Jerash.
Under Justinian, 531- 565, there was a rise in prosperity, and no fewer than seven churches are known to have been erected in this period. All this external beauty and comfort was only achieved at the cost of the earlier buildings, particularly temples. An orgy of destruction of the pagan shrines must have gone on, and it seems as though scarcely one new stone was cut for the construction of any of the churches. The beautiful courtyard of the Artemis Temple was desecrated by the building of potters' kilns there. The last church of which- we know at present is that built by Bishop Genesius in 611, and the Persian invasion of 614 was the beginning of the end of Jerash. The only remains of this invasion are goal- posts erected in the Hippodrome just outside the South Gate for playing polo. The Muslim conquest in about 635 completed the decline of the city, which, though it continued to be occupied, gradually shrank to about a quarter of its original size. A series of bad earthquakes destroyed many of the churches and buildings, and as no one could afford to rebuild or even clear them, they were left exactly as they fell. So it happily remained until the settlement there of the Circassian colony by the Turks in 1878.
- In a nutshell:A wonder!!!!!

Covercraft Form Fit Car Cover
Reviewed By Collin F (GRANITE BAY, CA) Reviewed for a 2003 Porsche 911 —6/22/2016 9:24 PM
The cover fits like a glove and thanks to the spandex type material integrated into the cover it hugs all the contours of my Porsche Turbo. Had previously ordered another form fit cover for my GT3.
Inside or out?

This is my first custom cover. It looks and fits fine while in place. It would be much easier to install if the il color of the inside of the cover was different from the outside and the front better marked. I have learned to fold it for easier install but better front & back marking might suffice.

Mike Gundy is no longer 40. In fact he's now 45 and a somewhat successful coach at Oklahoma State. If you don't get the age reference then you must check out this video of his tirade against a member of the media.
It is reported today that Tennessee has interviewed Gundy for its vacant head coaching position. Gundy has been the head coach of his alma mater since 2005, compiling a record of 66-35. His most successful campaign came in 2011 when Gundy led the Cowboys to a 12-1 record and a #3 finish in the AP poll after a Fiesta Bowl shootout win over Stanford.
Shootouts, as it so happens, are commonplace in Stillwater. The Cowboys gave up 426 yards per game last season, which would have landed them just above Tennessee (471ypg) in the SEC. Previous seasons yielded similar results, but the over-riding theme is that of a high-powered offense and a relatively soft defense. Last season Gundy's air-raid offense tallied 548 yards per game, fourth best in the nation.
Such numbers would add some excitement on football Saturdays, and the presence of Gundy would appeal to prospective offensive studs looking for a place to grow some roots.
The critics may argue that we already have a high-flying offense and a porous defense, and to some extent they are correct. The SEC has grown into a defensive conference over the last few years and not coincidentally has become nationally dominant during that same time frame.
However, no matter how loud the critics rant and rave, Mike Gundy and his Oklahoma State team will be playing in a bowl this year.
In fact, since Gundy's return to Stillwater, the Cowboys have played in a bowl game every year other than his first season. While coach Gundy was compiling his 66-35 record and going 4-2 in six bowl games, the Vols were 52-48 while going 1-3 in post-season bowl games during the same period.

Grilled Halibut Salad Niçoise
From EatingWell: May/June 2010
Salad nicoise, a classic French salad, is typically made with tuna. Here we use sweet grilled halibut (in season in midsummer) or striped bass. To make it quicker, substitute 2 or 3 cans of drained chunk light tuna. Or skip the fish altogether for a vegetarian main-course salad. We call for serving it on a platter, but it's just as beautiful individually plated. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.

Is it a good idea to hold my son back in kindergarden?
My son turned 6 in december. He did not start kindergarden early like most kids do. His teacher is suggesting we hold him back a year, that will mean he will be 7 1/2 - 8 by the time he's in first grade. I know he is smart, he knows a lot for his age. He does have some difficultis but he's 6 I can not expect him to know everything. I think it's more of a behavior problem then anything, he seams to get bored easly. I am worried he will be the oldest kid in his class and be very bored and not want to concetrate on work that he feels he's already done the year before. Is it still a good idea to hold him back?In Topics: School and Academics, Motivation and achievement at school, Discipline and behavior challenges
