Hiking: 60 miles of trails
Biking: 60 miles of trails
Across the Delaware River, the 70-mile long Delaware and Raritan (D&R) Canal State Park is one of central New Jersey's most popular recreation corridors for canoeing, jogging, hiking, bicycling, fishing and horseback riding. The canal and park are part of the National Recreation Trail System.
Together, the Delaware Canal State Park and the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park have formed a series of looping trails connecting Pennsylvania and New Jersey, using five bridges. By simply parking in one of several areas located along the loop trail, visitors have easy access to the canal towpaths in both states, and can ride, walk of jog a complete loop back to their car. Loop trail connection bridges are in the Pennsylvania towns of Uhlerstown, Lumberville, Center Bridge, Washington Crossing and Morrisville.
The 30-mile stretch of parallel trails with five connecting bridges allows visitors to choose among 11 different options of loop length and distance. Each loop will lead you through quaint towns, scenic river views, and wooded in-lands. A perfect extended weekend could be had in riding the loop trails by day and staying overnight at one of the many bed and breakfasts along the way.
No Camping: Although Delaware Canal State Park has no overnight facilities, camping and cabins are available in nearby state, county and private campgrounds. For information on rental cabins contact Nockamixon State Park at 215-529-7300. For information on camping contact Bucks County Parks at 215-757-0571.

Natural Resources
Delaware Canal State Park is 60 miles of wildlife watching opportunities. Wildlife abounds, both in and around the canal and river. Listed below are the main places to see wildlife. For listings of species of wildlife seen in the park, explore the species inventory.
The Delaware River
At 330 miles in length, the Delaware is the longest free-flowing river east of the Mississippi River and serves as a major migration corridor for birds and the American shad. The park maintains six public recreation areas with shoreline access to the river. Of the many islands in the river, eleven are protected as the Delaware River Islands State Park Natural Area.
The 65-mile segment of the Lower Delaware River and selected tributaries are part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Systems. This designation recognizes free-flowing rivers with exceptional natural, recreational, historical and cultural resources.
Shad Ladder
The Delaware Canal starts at the confluence of the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers in Easton, PA. The Delaware is the longest undammed, free-flowing river east of the Mississippi. Many of its tributaries, such as the Lehigh River, have been dammed for industrial, water retention, or flood control purposes. The dam at the mouth of the Lehigh River is integral to the functioning of the Delaware Canal, as it provides the primary water source for the canal's northern section. However dams inhibit the movement of migratory fish species, such as the American shad. A shad needs to return to its birthplace in order to spawn. Obstructions such as dams cause declines of migratory fish species.
One way to help migratory fish overcome manmade obstacles is to build them a ladder. The shad ladder at Easton is an inclined series of water filled chambers that the fish can navigate to pass over a dam. Shad sense the strong current created by the outflow at the bottom of the fish ladder, and swim into the first "step" of the ladder. The walls of the chamber are carefully designed to create a strong current of water that will lead the fish into the next chamber and a calm pool where a tired fish can rest without being washed back out of the ladder. By swimming from chamber to chamber, the fish progresses uphill and over the dam. When it passes through the final "step" of the ladder, it reenters the river above the dam and can continue upstream toward its spawning grounds. Creating and maintaining structures such as the shad ladder has gone a long way toward restoring the indigenous shad population of the Delaware River and its tributaries. Fish ladders improve the natural diversity of our waterways and increase their recreational value as well.
American Shad
The American shad is the largest member of the herring family. Spawning adults commonly reach four to eight pounds. Female shad are called "roes" and males "bucks."
An anadromous species, shad are born in freshwater, spend three to six years at sea and return to their natal waters to spawn. Adult shad do not eat on their way to spawning grounds. Unlike salmon, not all shad die after spawning and will eat on their return trip to the sea.
For centuries, there has been a dynamic interaction between the Delaware River and the people and cultures that have lived and worked in its basin. One of the best examples of this interaction is the story of the American shad. Because of its predictable migrations, the shad has served as an important resource to many cultures throughout history.
The Lenni Lenape depended on shad as a staple of their diet. They began the traditional methods of preparing shad, by grilling them on wooden racks. The Lenape also preserved shad by air drying and smoking. The shad was an important part of life for the early Moravians and other settlers in the Delaware Valley.
As human populations grew, pollution from sewage and industrial wastewater increased. By the time of the American Revolution, pollution of the Philadelphia waterfront and various tributaries was a serious problem. By the early twentieth century, key fish populations had all but collapsed due to pollution, habitat destruction, and over-fishing.
Water pollution worsened during World War II. In 1946, the Delaware Estuary experienced a 20-mile zone of zero dissolved oxygen, preventing all migratory fish including the American shad from passing into their native spawning grounds.
In 1961, the Delaware River Basin Commission launched a pollution control effort which greatly improved water quality. Unfortunately, pollution was not the only thing effecting the American shad.
During the great canal building era of the 1830s rivers were dammed to ensure water supplies for the canals. Two dams vital to the Delaware and Lehigh Canal system disrupted the shad migration up the Lehigh River preventing the fish from reaching their spawning grounds.
To help the shad re-establish their native spawning grounds on the Lehigh River, while keeping the historic canal intact, park staff have maintained two fish passageways since 1993. These "ladders" allow the fish to navigate upstream, through a series of chambers, around the dams and on to spawning grounds at the Lehigh River as far north as the Frances Walter Dam.
For more information on shad in Pennsylvania, visit the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission shad Web site.
Natural Areas
Pennsylvania State Park Natural Areas are of unique scenic, geological or ecological value. These areas are maintained in a natural condition by allowing physical and biological processes to operate, usually without human intervention. Delaware Canal State Park has two designated state park natural areas - Nockamixon Cliffs and River Islands.
Nockamixon Cliffs
The Nockamixon Cliffs Natural Area forms sheer north-facing cliffs that tower over 300 feet above the river. The shale cliffs are situated at a curve in the river, between Kintnersville and Narrowsville. Visible from both the Delaware River and New Jersey, these cliffs dominate the landscape of the entire area. In places, series of rock shelves and deeply cut ravines containing seeps and rivulets provide habitat for a variety of forest and cliff plant communities. The rock appears to be bare in winter, but is well covered by vegetation in summer.
Due to their north-facing aspect, Nockamixon Cliffs receive little direct sunlight. This cool habitat supports an alpine-arctic plant community that is unusual to find this far south. Some of these plants are rare or endangered in Pennsylvania. Directly across the Delaware River, an opposite set of circumstances occurs, creating habitat for unusually arid plants.
Nockamixon Cliffs began in the Triassic period when tall mountains to the northwest were heavily eroded and deposited red sand and mud in shallow lakes. Great pressure turned the sand and mud into red sandstone and shale that can still be found throughout the region. They are bright red and break easily into flakes and fragments.
Toward the end of the Triassic Period, molten magma from deep within the earth's crust flowed into these beds of sedimentary rock. These "igneous intrusions" heated the surrounding sandstone and shale, changing them into tough, weather-resistant rock called hornfel.
During the Jurassic Period, the region was subjected to continuous erosion. While some other rock, such as the sandstone and shale were worn away, the hornfel resisted weathering, allowing the Nockamixon Cliffs to rise above the surrounding landscape.
The talus slope at the cliff base is covered by Dutchmen's breeches in spring. Wild columbine, rock cress, herb Robert, moss phlox, and harebell carpet the rock face well into summer.
The area is frequented by raptors and a variety of other birds, adding a dimension of wilderness to the general character of rugged, unspoiled beauty.
Due to the delicacy of the plant communities present in the Nockamixon Cliffs Natural Area, active recreational pursuits such as rock climbing, camping, and hunting are not permitted within its boundaries.
River Islands
Both humans and wildlife use the undisturbed natural areas of the Delaware River Islands for rest and recreation. The Delaware River, one of the last free-flowing rivers in the United States, is an important corridor for migrating birds; the islands provide safe stopovers through a rapidly developing area. Publicly owned river islands also enhance recreational opportunities for canoeists, kayakers and fishermen. The islands are part of the water trail used by canoeists and other small boaters on the Delaware River. For more information on the sections of the water trail adjacent to our park or to order recreational river maps, visit our friends at the Delaware River Basin Commission. www.nj.gov/drbc/
Some river islands, such as Hendrick Island, were originally part of the main shoreline, but most islands grew individually from the river itself. Silt and stone left by glacial waters almost 10,000 years ago form the substrate of these islands. Seeds were eventually deposited by wind, water or wildlife. As plants grow on the islands, the roots bind the substrate materials together. Although they are relatively stable, the size, shape and location of the islands shift slightly with the movements of the river.
Delaware Canal State Park manages the Delaware River Islands Natural Area, which includes (from north to south) Loors Island, Whippoorwill Island, Old Sow Island, Raubs Island, the Lynn Island Group, and the Hendrick Island Group. With the exception of Hendrick Island, all the river islands are located near Raubsville and Kintnersville, in the northernmost 12 miles of the park. The main island at Hendrick is designated as a Special Management Area due to archaeological significance.
While river islands are beautiful places to rest and fun to explore, please visit them with care. The islands are delicate environments, and provide important habitat for birds and other wildlife, as well as several rare plants. No camping or hunting is permitted in the Delaware River Islands Natural Area.
A National Historic Landmark
The 60-mile Delaware Canal is the only remaining continuously intact canal of the great towpath canal building era of the early and mid-19th century. Today, the canal retains almost all of its features as they existed during its century of commercial operation.
In the early 1800s, America was growing rapidly. Canals provided a better way of transporting natural resources to urban areas. When completed in 1832, the Delaware Canal connected with the Lehigh Navigation System at Easton and helped to develop the anthracite coal industry in the Upper Lehigh Valley. These canals provided a convenient and economical means of transporting coal to Philadelphia, New York, and the eastern seaboard.
As railroads became a more efficient means of transporting goods, it became increasingly difficult to profitably operate canals. The last paying canal boat completed its journey through the Delaware Canal on October 17, 1931.
On the same day, 40 miles of the canal were deeded to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth acquired the remaining 20 miles in 1940.
The U.S. Congress officially recognized the canal's importance to the economic development of America by establishing the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor in 1988. The canal is a Registered National Historic Landmark and its towpath is a National Recreation Trail.

Phillips Mill: from a mill village established in 1743 to an artists' colony in the early 1900s, this spot has a long and colorful history. It is located about two miles north of New Hope, near canal mile marker 26. The mill was operated from 1756 to 1889 by Aaron Philips and his descendants. Later it became home to Philadelphia physician Dr. George M. Marshall, who convinced his childhood friend, the painter William Lathrop, to move in. Lathrop founded the New Hope School of Impressionism, and often ferried his students to the Philips Mill property on his own canal boat. The Holmquist School for Girls, an early progressive independent school, also had its roots at Philips Mill. It later merged with the Solebury School, a local boys' school, to become one of the first co-educational independent schools in the country. Phillips Mill is still known for its local and regional juried art shows.

There has been a lot of rumors that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would somehow be involved in "Wrestlemania 31" since it is taking place in California. There was also talk that he could headline the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame inductions. While the latter could still be true, 411mania reported on Thursday that he is not likely to have an angle or a wrestling match at "Wrestlemania 31."
There is still a chance that he could be involved in the WWE Hall of Fame since that really only involves the ceremony, possibly some press conferences and an appearance at "Wrestlemania 31" and "WWE Monday Night Raw" to wave to the fans. While that involves very little entertainment, wrestling a high profile match would require a lot more preparation.
The reason that The Rock will probably not wrestle at "Wrestlemania 31" is because "Fast & Furious 7" opens just two weeks after the event. When a movie that big opens, the main stars are expected to hit the road and promote the movie. That is why Batista had to leave to promote "Guardians of the Galaxy" over a month before that movie hits theaters. "Fast & Furious 7" will need The Rock more than usual because of the death of Paul Walker remaining a huge moment.
When The Rock wrestled John Cena at back-to-back "Wrestlemania" events, he was not only working part time on regular television but was also working hard on the side, training with Curtis Axel to prepare for the match. The Rock would, in no way, have the proper time to put into a match that big with the promotion interrupting the training a month before the actual show.
While fans won't get the match with The Rock at "Wrestlemania 31," there is still a good chance he could be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Right now, the rumored inductees include Kevin Nash, Mickie James, Sting and possibly Vickie Guerrero.

Dear Insurance Shopper If you thought driving lessons were an expense, wait till you start talking to insurance companies about car insurance for your newly qualified driver either son or daughter, who has just passed their driving test, or just wants some lessons from Mum or Dad, whilst preparing for their driving test. I was shocked when I started shopping around, I was quoted prices from £500 to £7000, this is a widely varied market place when it comes to price. I have a background in negotiating with companies for contracts of supply and I am also a driving instructor, so I know a little about price negotiation and driving, so I soon discovered that there was some savings to be made, if you were willing to shop around.
Price comparison sites I soon discovered that these are really a waist of time, after all the hype and advertising on TV and radio they really did not offer good deals for new drivers, as quite a few of their web sites listed companies which will not even provide cover for 17 year olds, so a great percentage are utterly useless and a waist of time. The prices quoted on the comparison sites were incredibly high, even for their cheapest ones.
But you can spend a lot of time going through the shortlist of quotes on these comparison sites only to discover that they will not provide cover for anybody under 18 years of age. I soon gave up on the comparison sites and started targeting insurance companies directly, where the real deals are to be found. Blue School of Motoring can help their students find better car insurance for new drivers by going to our Pass Plus page and there you will find a list of insurance companies that provide co9ver for new or just qualified drivers.
Its best to target sites that are already on the Pass Plus directory, click on our link to find a list Pass Plus Insurance. Some of these companies are able to offer discounts as soon as you start the policy, but will require the course completed within a set period otherwise no discount. The other advantage of Pass Plus is the fact that your newly qualified driver will get further training from a fully qualified driving instructor and the area they have not covered in real terms before in normal pre driving test lessons will be Motorway driving, see link for modules covered.
So it's that easy, shop around and ask each company what discount they will give you, don't take the first offer, and always narrow it down to two, then say to each well your competitor is offering this deal can you match it, the biggest is not always the best, the highest quote I received was from the AA £7000 for the insurance on a £2000 vehicle, absolutely ridiculous..
Every insurance company will be different, and will have unique offers, and some will be downright unhelpful even aggressive, so avoid them and move onto a company who can help you with getting the best price and service. You may think that Third Party cover will be cheaper than Fully comprehensive, but you will surprised that in some cases it is almost the same, if it is stick with the later, good hunting.

Photos: Romney, Ryan Rally At Red Rocks
Posted by Galen Nathanson on 10/23/2012 9:21pm MDT tags: Photo
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre Tuesday before an overflow crowd and praised "this magnificent place" before quickly getting to the business of touting how a Romney administration would provide leadership he said the country presently lacks.
The rally included an appearance by Romney's vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, who warmed up the crowd by talking about the presidential debates, and what he said was a "clear choice" that Romney presents in the presidential race.

Non parlo ItalianoMilan, Spring 2010
It has been three weeks since orientation and I can't believe this is only the beginning. But, before going on about all the crazy stuff I've been able to experience, I figured I should probably start with some more practical information that those of you considering the program may be wondering.
Coming into this I had no idea what to expect. I didn't know much about Milan, I spoke very little Italian and I just jumped in with a "here goes nothing" attitude. And honestly, I have yet to be disappointed. Don't get me wrong this is a big change. Right now, for instance, I am writing while eating my dinner of ravioli and salad, which I made for myself. This in itself is a big step because at home my lack of domestic skills is a common joke, and now I am forced to gain them in a foreign country. On top of this, Milan is a big city, a huge change from my life in suburbia so I've had to learn basic things like how the subways work. All this coupled with the fact that everything is in Italian and all the subtle differences in how life is lived have made for some interesting, embarrassing, and occasionally overwhelming experiences. But that's to be expected. Nothing remotely close to terrible has happened and I always have other IES students right there with me and equally confused, which makes it easy to laugh at.
And, in being regularly confused, you often need help. The Milanese people, while definitely not overly friendly (though I can't think of any large city with overly friendly people), always seem willing to assist when we've needed it. Unless, of course, they don't speak English, which happens more frequently than I'd guessed. We've all learned the phrase "Dove è" which means "where is", and multiple times we've stopped people to ask "where is…." and are then shocked and slightly embarrassed when they answer in Italian and we must use our other favorite phrase "Non parlo Italiano", "I don't speak Italian".
But we are all learning, a fact that always seems to satisfy any Italian that gives us a disapproving look after hearing that phrase. The majority of students in this program came into it with no past Italian language experience. For the past three weeks everyone, on every level, has been taking an intensive Italian class once a day, every day. On Monday regular classes begin but we are all still required to take Italian three times a week.
Class once a day has been a small price to pay for these past three weeks and I've had an amazing time. Everyone here wants to experience as much as they can and we've been doing just that. My apartment is really nice (as are all the IES apartments I've seen) and my roommates are great. We've just been trying to embrace this whole situation and that seems to make any difficult adjustments fade away.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A group from Mukilteo is asking the state Supreme Court to rule on the validity of a public vote on red-light traffic cameras in the city.
It's a case that could have broad implications as red-light camera opponents push ballot measures in several Washington cities, including Monroe, Bellingham, Longview and Wenatchee.
Camera opponents including frequent initiative sponsor Tim Eyman collected signatures last year seeking to repeal a Mukilteo ordinance about the cameras and require a public vote before the city could use them. The measure passed with 71 percent.
The city council determined the cameras were not a valid initiative topic and treated the vote as advisory instead of binding. Last month the council abolished red-light cameras in Mukilteo.
A group called Mukilteo Citizens for Simple Government asked the court Tuesday to rule that the initiative should never have been on the ballot.
A lawyer for Eyman and other initiative sponsors argued that the city's residents should have been allowed to vote on the initiative even if it wasn't valid.

Lack of Common Urgency and No Power Coalition
The approval story points out the lack of urgency from the line managers and workers whom need to implement the new processes and new software the change agent desires for company improvement. Although Ted believes he has approval to move forward with this change, once underway he realizes that everyone else is not aligned with the change effort as necessary. The executive committee signals acceptance for the analyzed change. However, adequate buy in from other important people to facilitate the change has not occurred. Ted Watson is consumed by questions and rejections from employees who seem annoyed at the new change and its affects on them. A hierarchical or autocratic change is not the best way to initiate change. Because the actual people needed to get on board with the business idea where not formed into a working coalition to shepherd the change initiative, the idea is ground to a halt and must be started anew. One of the main problems in this scenario stems from the overestimation of the support for change and the underestimation of the resources and tools necessary to work the change. Once these deficiencies were realized, change manifested itself in high complacency among the business employees and by their rejection of change. (Kotter, 2002)

Pesach, or Passover, is a major holiday in Jewish tradition, and is one of the three pilgrimage holidays, along with Sukkot and Shavuot. These are the holidays on which the whole Jewish people would come to Jerusalem in ancient times, when the Holy Temple was there, and would offer animal and grain sacrifices. Since the destruction of the Temple, a few of the holiday traditions have been retained, without the pilgrimage and the sacrifices, and many new traditions have been added.
Pesach, which starts on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan (usually in April), lasts for seven days and is celebrated to commemorate the exodus from Egypt - one of the main stories in the history of the Jewish people and in western culture in general. According to the Torah, the Israelites lived in Egypt, and were enslaved by the Egyptians. Moshe (Moses), an Israelite who grew up in the palace of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, became a leader of the Israelites and asked Pharaoh to allow them to return to the Land of Israel. When Pharaoh refused, Moshe led a campaign that culminated in his people's hurried departure from Egypt, toward the Sinai desert, where they lived for 40 years. According to Jewish tradition, during this long journey in the desert, led by Moshe and his brother Aharon, the Israelites became a united people as they prepared to conquer the Land of Israel.
Pesach is also called the holiday of Freedom, and this aspect of the holiday is emphasized in the rituals and prayers: the exodus from slavery to freedom symbolizes physical and spiritual redemption and man's aspiration to be free.
Another name for Pesach is the Holiday of Unleavened Bread. The story of the exodus from Egypt retells the story of how the Israelites left Egypt in a hurry and the dough they had prepared had no time to rise, so they baked it into matzah, unleavened bread. One of the important teachings of this holiday is the abstinence from eating leaven bread - any baked goods prepared with flour and allowed to rise, or prepared foods containing flour. Instead of bread, Jews eat matzah. Religious (and traditional) Jews observe this aspect of the holiday meticulously.
One more name for Pesach is the Holiday of Spring, marking the season in which Pesach is celebrated.
Holiday Customs
Prohibition on eating leaven
- Throughout the seven-day holiday, the prohibition against eating leaven bread - called chametz - is in effect, in commemoration of the matzah that the Israelites ate on their hurried journey out of Egypt. The prohibition includes all types of bread and baked goods made of flour dough, and also all types of pasta.
Eating matzah
- Matzah is flat bread made from unleavened dough. Apart from during the ceremonial Seder meal, eating matzah is not compulsory, but for most Israeli families (religious and traditional alike) matzah is the accepted alternative to bread throughout the holiday.
Biur chametz
- the eradication of leaven bread- In the weeks prior to Pesach, Jews customarily clean their homes thoroughly to ensure that not one crumb of chametz remains. Non-religious Jews often use this custom as an opportunity to "spring-clean" their homes and create a holiday atmosphere. On the night before the day on which Pesach begins, it is customary among orthodox Jews to search in all the corners of the house by candlelight, to make sure there are no crumbs anywhere.
The Seder
- This is a lengthy ceremonial meal held on the eve of the holiday (the evening before the first day of the holiday). The family gathers around the holiday table for the Seder - the reading of the Haggadah and the holiday meal. The Haggadah is a compilation of texts from Jewish tradition - passages from the Bible, from the Mishna, commentaries and songs, whose main theme is the exodus from Egypt. The purpose of the reading of the Haggadah is to transmit the Pesach tradition from one generation to the next. The rituals during the Seder are all symbolic, such as the eating of matzah and bitter herbs, the drinking of four goblets of wine, singing together, and of course the big meal.
- It is customary to hide a special piece of matzah, called the Afikoman, somewhere in the house, and make the children find it. Whoever finds it usually gets a prize.
Mimouna: Customs and Information
On the evening after the seventh day of Pesach, which is a holy rest day, Jews of North African origin, particularly Morocco, celebrate Mimouna as part of the Pesach festivities. The origin of the celebrations is unclear, but is usually associated with the anniversary of the death of Rabbi Maimon ben Abraham, the father of the great medieval Rabbi Moses Maimonides (also known as Rambam).
On Mimouna night people go from house to house, visiting friends and relatives who are celebrating this holiday, and in neighborhoods where there is a large concentration of Moroccan Jews this house-to-house visiting lasts until late into the night. The following day is also devoted to family celebrations, to hospitality and visiting, and in many public places hundreds of celebrants gather for picnics.
Holiday Customs
Sweet foods
- The festive meal is composed solely of sweet foods, in order to emphasize the hope for a sweet life: fruit preserves, cakes, marzipan and other homemade confections. Since these foods are made during Pesach, they are all made without flour or any other ingredient that is not kosher for Pesach.
- this is the traditional Moroccan Mimouna food. As soon as Pesach is over, and chametz is again permitted, the women prepare a dough made of flour and yeast, which is spread in flat circles, fried in butter and served with honey. This is the first chametz eaten after Pesach, and the flour for it is purchased immediately after the end of the holiday.

Culver City, CA – March 17, 2014 — Dr. Tex Boggs, president of Antioch University Los Angeles (AULA), is pleased to announce the addition of two new members to AULA's Board of Trustees. Alice Desobry Bowens and Lise M. Quintana were elected by AULA's Board of Trustees bringing the Board's total to 16 members. They were voted onto the Board on February 26, 2014 and began service immediately. They will serve a three-year term.

On a recent trip to Schlitterbahn water park in New Braunfels my family decided to check out the Boogie Bahn. It is a ride at the park where you can ride a board on a wave. It looked like a blast, but we had no idea what we were doing. The resort offered lessons for $10 for one hour and this is for resort guests only. You do have to be 42 inches tall for this one.
We decided to take advantage of the lessons. This was a pretty cheap thing to do on our trip and we all four tried it out. When we showed up, they were ready to help us right away. They only allow 10 people in each hour long session for lessons, but there were less than that in our lesson.
The instructor was amazing. He could ride the board on his knees and even sitting down. We could not have asked for more from him. He helped the kids out a ton and would even ride their board along with them to make sure they were able to get a chance to ride the waves as well.
The only bad thing was that the water was freezing cold. There is a heated pool close by though where you can warm up if it isn't really hot outside.
Personally I would say the Boogie Bahn lessons at Schlitterbahn were worth every penny. For only $10 you get an hour of riding the boards with great instruction on how to do it. You can sign up at the resort check in desk.

Finding Frankfurt
I grew up in the suburbs near Frankfurt, but I know it was the city rather than my hometown that shaped me. I was to Frankfurt what a moth is to a flame – it attracted me, it drew me in, it coughed me out a different person. The suburbs made me long for something bigger, something with a broader horizon and more. More of everything, but especially of people.
This kind of attraction was eventually my sealed fate to move to Berlin.
Going back home on a vacation from work and life in Berlin is stressful, because it means moving back in with my parents for a week (and even that can be a hassle). It means having to call thousands of people I haven't seen in a while, it means making dates and having no time to relax. Sometimes it feels like I left my old life back here and began a parallel, different life in Berlin. I try to combine them, but it's difficult. There is just too many thing still left here for me: family and friends. It was not the people who drove me away from Frankfurt, it was my own hunger.
And so, on a mission to capture what I love about my home, I strolled through the city. The differences between Frankfurt and Berlin are remarkable; Frankfurt is cleaner and obviously wealthier, but Berlin has more youth and a rather pulsating feeling to it. As a tourist, I'd probably hate Frankfurt; but this is my home. Passing my home and my streets and my blocks makes me literally ache with faded memories. Faded, because they're slowly being overwritten by new memories. Of Berlin, of being grown up, of being an adult and doing my own thing. It's weird. I still don't consider Berlin to be my home – home is where my family is. But at the same time, I don't feel homely back here either.
I don't know what this sentiment is, I don't know if it's good, I don't know if it's bad. I guess it's just the way it is. I guess I just have to learn how to live with it.
And, uh, yes. It's obvious that I love the skyline.
fantastic photos! Makes me want to learn how to use my camera beter ;)
Schöne, stimmungsvolle Fotos. Toller Text!
Such beautiful words about home, development and life. Thx.
Frankfurt kann so schön und doch so hässlich sein… Ich wohne auch in der nähe von Frankfurt, aber ich finde es hat sich verändert…
Nice words & nice photographs. Thx & I hope, you'll find a home sometime.
What others had to say about it
[…] to go on vacation right when all of my wisdom teeth just ache to break out. So now I'm in Frankfurt. Again. I miss Berlin. I miss my bed. I miss sitting on the windowsill and just watch the stars and […]

HAMMOND, La. - Lea Hopson and Sydni Emanuel connected on a pair of home runs in an eight-run third inning for Texas Tech Saturday afternoon which sent the Red Raiders to a 13-5 run-rule victory over UMKC at Chappapeela Park.
Hopson and Emanuel's home runs were two of four in the game for the Red Raiders (2-2), who snapped out of their offensive funk with a season-high 11 hits. Tech's 13 runs was more than its total from the previous three games combined.
"We hit the ball much better this afternoon," Tech head coach Shanon Hays said. "This was the type of game we needed offensively and hopefully it will help us get back to being the type of offense we expect to be."
Hopson broke open a 4-2 Tech lead with her two-run shot over the fence in right field in the third. It was the first of two homers in the game for Hopson, who also drove a solo shot over the fence in left an inning later.
The Red Raiders loaded the bases soon after Hopson's third-inning blast, only for Emanuel to put the game out of reach with a grand slam to left field. It was Tech's first grand slam since Adriana Perez hit one against Jackson State on March 1 last season.
Tech went into the third tied 2-2 until back-to-back RBI doubles from Kristi Belshe and Kierra Miles. Miles began Tech's day offensively as she drove a two-run shot just over the left field fence in the opening inning.
Emanuel (2-for-4), Miles (2-for-3) and Hopson (2-for-3) all finished with at least two hits for the Red Raiders, who will face UMKC again on Feb. 21 in the UTA Hilton Invitational.
Ashley Fultz added a pair of insurance runs for Tech in the fourth as she followed Hopson's solo shot with a two-run RBI single later in the inning. It was the first career hit and RBI for Fultz, one of six Tech freshmen to have a hit in the game.
The lead was big enough for Cara Custer (1-1) to pick up her first victory of the season as the right-hander had a no-hitter going until Kaitlyn Carey broke it up with a two-out single in the fifth inning.
Katie Kelley and Caitlin Christopher followed with a RBI double and single to cut the lead to eight before Custer forced a ground ball to third to end the game.
UMKC previously plated a pair of unearned runs off a Tech fielding error in the second inning. Custer finished having allowed all five runs, three of which were earned, off three hits and two walks. She also struck out three hitters as well.
Katie Kelley (1-1) suffered the loss for UMKC after giving up four runs off four hits in relief of starter Cinda Ramos. Kenzie Flaws also came on in relief but allowed four runs without recording an out before Ramos reentered in the circle.
The Red Raiders will look to close the Lions Classic on a winning note Sunday afternoon when they face Texas Southern in a 12 p.m. first pitch.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - The Fresno State men's golf team sits in ninth place with a 36-over-par 736 following two rounds of play on Saturday at the 67th annual Transamerica/WFG Western Intercollegiate being held at the famed Alister MacKenzie-designed Pasatiempo Golf Club.
Fresno State as a team fired an 11-over-par 361 in the first round Saturday and a 25-over-par 375 in round two of the 14-team tournament. The Bulldogs had 24 total birdies on the day and four eagles that were all scored in the first round.
"This is a very tough course," head coach Mike Watney said. "If you are just a little bit off, you will pay the price. I still think we have a good round in us for tomorrow."
Senior Jack Mulroy was the top performer for the Bulldogs on Saturday, finishing in a tie for 23rd place with a 4-over-par, 144. Mulroy shot a 3-over-par 73 in round one when he had three birdies and came back in round two to fire a one-over-par 71.
Senior Johnny Partridge fired the low round of the day for the Bulldogs. He posted two eagles and two birdies in the first round of the day to help him to a 3-under 67. Partridge shot a 79 in round two to finish the day 6-over-par and in a tie for 37th place.
Partridge's 67 was the lone round fired under par by the Bulldogs on Saturday.
"I'm surprised about who is leading our team," Watney said. "Jack and Johnny are playing solid golf. After that we have been struggling."
Senior Rufie Fessler finished Saturday in a tie for 48th place with an eight-over par 148. Junior Nate Jessup, who had four birdies in round one when he shot a 72, finished Saturday in a tie for 62nd with a two-round score of 151, 11-over-par.
The other Bulldog to score four birdies in a round on Saturday was freshman Troix Tonkham. After firing an opening-round 76, Tonkham used his four birdies in round to two to lower his score by three, shooting a 73 in round two. Tonkham finished the day 9-over par with a 149 and is in a tie for 52nd place.
Also competing for the Bulldogs Saturday was senior Rich Gilkey who shot a 19-over-par 159 in the two rounds.
Fifth-ranked UCLA sits in first-place after day one with a team score of 702, 2-over-par. No. 1 Cal is second, nine strokes behind the Bruins, followed by No. 7 Stanford (+17) and San Diego State (+18). Host San Jose State is in eighth place, five strokes ahead of the Bulldogs
The 84-player tournament concludes Sunday with 18 holes on the 6,615-yard par-70 course.

Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards finalized his roster heading into the squad's season opener Saturday at Nashville. The club cut center Boone Jenner and defender Tim Erixon to set the roster at the NHL max of 23 players.
Jenner, a 19-year-old 2011 second-round pick, will return to Oshawa of the Ontario Hockey League. Erixon will return to the American Hockey League's Springfield Falcons. It is possible if not likely Erixon will return at some point this season for the Blue Jackets.
"Tough decisions," Richards said. "They both deserved to be here and whether it is right or whether it is wrong, Boone showed he could play here but with these players you have to be smart in those decisions."
Jenner has yet to make his NHL debut but has shown promise since the Jackets drafted him 18 months ago. He produces at over a point per game clip in the juniors and was a key member of the Canadian U20 squad that participated in this year's World Junior Championships.
"Our intention is to get Boone playing where career wise, he is able to develop as quickly and get him to his maximum level as quickly as possible," Richards said. "It is getting him back where he can play in any situation. Skill wise, develop. But there is more to it as far as leadership."
The demotions mean defender David Savard and forward Matt Calvert will stay in Columbus for the time being. The duo has spent the better part of the last two seasons in Springfield and are hoping to make their lasting mark in Columbus.
"It was just a great opportunity (during camp)," Savard said. "I need to work hard to make my way on the lineup and push guys to get better too. I think by pushing to get in the lineup, it will make other guys better too."
A day off
One day after Richards lamented his squad for not skating hard in practice, he gave the club a day off on Thursday in lieu of off ice workouts. The Jackets are scheduled to practice on Friday at 10:30 a.m. before flying to Nashville in preparation of opening night.
"As a coaching staff, we really felt we hit a wall yesterday," Richards said. "It is going to be a bit tricky from a coaching standpoint figuring out what is best for the team and what does your team need at the moment."
A condensed schedule does no favors for a squad that becomes exhausted after just four days of training camp. With 11 sets of games being played on back-to-back days, there will be points in the season the Jackets will not have an opportunity to recover from being exhausted.
Richards was asked if he was concerned about the squad being fatigued so early in the season.
"It has been talked about around coaches that you normally have a letdown three or four days into camp," Richards said. "You look at camp now and we're at that point. It just looked like after we scrimmaged (Wednesday) and watching the guys come off the ice, trying to get the things we wanted to accomplish in practice we weren't able to do."
The Blue Jackets were not the only squad to call a halt to practice Thursday. A number of other squads around the league were feeling similar effects from the shortened training camp.
"Every team is probably going through it right now," Blue Jackets forward R.J. Umberger said. "In practice (Wednesday), it showed mentally and physically, it wasn't our sharpest of the days. I think it is our job to retool and finish the week off strong."
Atkinson banged up
Blue Jackets forward Cam Atkinson did not skate with the Blue Jackets on Wednesday as he was recovering from a lower-body injury. He skated alone on Thursday and Richards said he will be tested Friday morning before being cleared for practice.
Atkinson is expected to play a huge role for the Blue Jackets this season. Early in training camp, he was on a line with top wingers R.J. Umberger and Derick Brassard. Atkinson kept in shape by playing in the AHL during the lockout. He was among league leaders in points before his recall to Columbus scoring 17 goals and 21 assists in 33 games.
"It is fun playing with those guys," Atkinson said about his line. "Every one of those guys can do something good. They can all pass, they can all score."

Jan. 18, 2011
|Name: Anne Tierney
|Institution: Lehigh University
|Sport: Women's Basketball
|Graduation Year: 2003 (undergraduate), 2004 (Graudate)
|Undergraduate Degree: Economics and Finance; MS Economics
|Did You Know?
Trained five-time Olympic swimmer Dara Torres prior to the 2008 Olympic Games.
Anne Tierney has always been able to blend academics and athletics. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a double major in economics and finance, before getting her master's degree in economics. She made her mark in the Patriot League during her first campaign, as she won Rookie of the Year honors after leading the League in scoring (18.5).
Upon graduation from Lehigh, she received the Richard H. Johnson Award in Economics (top undergraduate economics student), the University Service Award (unsurpassed dedication to Lehigh University through an organization), Undergraduate Merit Award (Outstanding Achievement in Academics), and Lehigh's Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award for 2002-2003.
One of only three Patriot League women's basketball players to exceed 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds during her career, she was inducted into Roger S. Penske/Lehigh Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.
Q: What factors helped in your decision to attend Lehigh?
A: The outstanding education, beautiful campus, and team atmosphere.
Q: Who were your sports idols growing up and why?
A: Charles Barkley because of his amazing rebounding ability even though he was not very tall.
Q: What was your proudest athletic accomplishment(s) at Lehigh?
A: Helping to build it into the program that it is today - going for their third straight Patriot League Championship and NCAA berth!
Q: What was your proudest academic accomplishment at Lehigh?
A: Completing my Masters degree in two semesters.
Q: How were you able to balance the demands in the classroom with the demands of being an athlete?
A: I actually found it easier to balance everything because of sports - you had to manage your time very efficiently and kept me out of trouble! I always had like a lot on my "plate."
Q: How did your experience as a student-athlete prepare you for life after college?
A: Balance, organization, and time management. Being able to do 18-20 credits a semester at a school like Lehigh plus maintain competitive on the court was a lot of work, but life is a lot of work!
Q: If you could go back to college and compete one more time, where would it be and against whom?
A: Well, Navy was my all-time FAVORITE place to play. Not only was the campus beautiful, but I usually played well there and have a lot of great memories - like my 1,000th point. But I would like to play Holy Cross again - we always had some good battles and they always had great players and were very well coached.
Q: If you had to offer current student-athletes some words of wisdom what would they be?
A: Enjoy every second - it is an amazing opportunity.
Q: Do you still follow Lehigh athletics?
A: As much as I can - I wish I could get to more games!
Q: Looking back, what does it mean to you to have been a Patriot League student-athlete?
A: A lot. I'm proud to say that because anyone that knows the Patriot League knows that they are great schools so to be able to be a student-athlete there is a great accomplishment.
Q: Can you talk about your professional career?
A: I began my professional career as an analyst for Standard & Poor's in New York City and absolutely loved it - Lehigh definitely prepared me. Then I went off and followed my passion for athletics and run my own training company that is focused on flexibility - Innovative Body Solutions. My business partner and I created Ki-Hara Resistance Stretching and have had the opportunity to work with many Olympic and Professional athletes, create a DVD, and train others in our craft across the country. So in essence the combination of athletics and education throughout college has pretty much continued into my professional life!
