PARKERSBURG - Local tourism officials are anticipating a strong showing for the approaching summer travel season..
With attractions like Blennerhassett Island and the West Virginia Motor Speedway to a number of special events, fairs and festivals throughout the summer to the opening of the Boy Scout's Summit Bechtel Reserve in southern West Virginia, the area is poised to see a number of travelers in the area this summer.
Travel and tourism is a $105 million industry for Wood County providing 1,040 jobs and generating $21 million in local wages and $858,000 in local tax revenue, said Mark Lewis, president of the Greater Parkersburg Convention and Visitors Bureau.

With strong hotel and motel occupancy rates earlier this year, Lewis has reason to be hopeful about the summer travel season.
"I am really optimistic about the summer," he said.
Travel is a broad and diverse industry employing a vast work force, from hotel employees to restaurant, attraction and retail workers, said local tourism officials, adding travel and tourism further supports employees in other industry sectors, such as construction, manufacturing and finance.
The CVB has begun its marketing push now as people's interest in travel is hitting its peak and people are beginning to formulate their plans on what they want to do.
The speedway is supporting a full schedule of events this season through the hard work of organizers.
"That is a great addition that will bring in a lot of people," Lewis said.
The Point Park Concert Series will be held again this season at the amphitheater. The series kicked off last summer to great success attracted numerous residents.
Blennerhassett Island's annual summer season kicked off last week with summer travelers expected to begin coming steadily through the area after Memorial Day weekend when many students are out of school for the summer.
With the National Boy Scout Jamboree slated for late July at the Summit Bechtel Reserve at Mt. Hope, W.Va., numerous Scout troops will be stopping here on their way to Mount Hope.
"Parkersburg is on the way," Lewis said.
The CVB has sent mailings to Boy Scout councils in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and elsewhere that might be traveling through this area on their way to the Summit.
Although the area will see an increase in visitors in the week or so leading up to the Jamboree and some the week following, it will give the area a little preview of what will happen in the coming years as the Summit begins yearly operations as the Boy Scout's newest high adventure base which is expected to host thousands of Scouts on an annual basis.
The facility is one of only four such facilities nationwide, which will host camping, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, ziplines, shooting sports and other outdoor activities annually on 10,000 acres of land.
"We are going to be a gateway community as people come into West Virginia to go to the reserve," Lewis said.
People will be looking for activities and other things to do as they make their way to the facility and when others start making their way home. Once the high adventure base in fully operational, the area could see sustained visits.
Cecil Childress, manager of the Blennerhassett Hotel, said the tourism season begins once the weather warms. Numerous people including many couples have already experienced what the Mid-Ohio Valley Valley has to offer.
The hotel will be host of the annual Taste of Parkersburg, which moved from autumn to May 31 and June 1. Visitors will savor the flavor of Parkersburg with food, wine, entertainment and artisans.
Festivities are slated to begin that Friday with an educational wine seminar hosted by renowned wine educator Robert Cavanaugh. The festivities continue that Saturday with the main event from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., which includes taste selections from more than a dozen local restaurants and over 25 different wines.
The hotel's numbers are looking good for the upcoming season with the pacing of reservations already reaching levels above last year, Childress said.
Things got off to a slow start until the hotel was able to get its patio open for outdoor dining.
"Now it is brisk and crazy," Childress said.
The hotel has been able to fill a number of needs, even as markets have changed. The hotel has hosted out-of-town travelers, weddings, reunions, social events and people looking to getaway for a long weekend.
"We have been very fortunate in that," he said.
Surrounding states are doing away with their Welcome Centers while West Virginia is maintaining its, Lewis said.
With a welcome station in Williamstown, visitors will still be able to get information about the state, and especially the Mid-Ohio Valley.
"It is still a great place to stop and find out about West Virginia and Parkersburg," Lewis said.
Traditionally, a tourist bureau's job was to promote overnight stays. There has been a push in recent years for people to rediscover the attractions and events in their own areas for day and weekend trips. Now it is just as much for the CVB to provide information about events and attractions for local residents.
A number of local attractions, such as Blennerhassett Island, are working on putting together evening programs to bring back local residents who may not have been there for a few years.
Also, many people have family and friends visiting the area and will be looking for things they can do together, Lewis said adding many organizations want to get the word out about these events.
"We don't want people to ever say there is nothing to do around here," Lewis said. "I think it is going to be a great year. The economy has turning around and a lot of people are interested in getting out and doing some traveling."

Birmingham, AL -- The results are in for the Gulf South Conference's 2011-12 Winter All-Academic Team, and Valdosta State was well represented. Courtney Mitchell, a unanimous selection, and Brittany Ferguson were named to the six-person team. Six other Lady Blazers joined Mitchell and Ferguson on the 2011-12 Winter Academic Honor Roll.
Mitchell makes her second GSC All-Academic team, and does it this year with the highest grade-point average on the squad, a 3.82 in Health and Physical Education. She was one of just two unanimous selections.
Ferguson joins Mitchell to make Valdosta State one of just two schools with multiple players named to the women's team. Ferguson earned a 3.50 as a Middle Grades Education major. Her athletic credentials are unmatched as Ferguson was a first team All-GSC selection, first team All-Region selection and an All-America Honorable Mention.
Joining Mitchell and Ferguson on the 2011-12 Winter Academic Honor Roll were four Lady Blazer newcomers and two returners. Senior Sczeny Hartry and sophomore Jordan Waugh were named to the honor roll with 3.11 and 3.31 grade point averages in Criminal Justice and Exercise Physiology respectively.
Newcomers Amber Bond, Brittney Nelson, Brooke Satterfield and Kourtnee Williams also made the list. Nelson and Williams had legitimate shots at making the All-Academic team, but first year players are not eligible.
Bond earned a 3.06 GPA, Nelson a 3.60, Satterfield a 3.80 and Williams a 3.57. Bond and Nelson major in Early Childhood Education and Mathematics while freshmen Satterfield and Williams are undecided.
This group of eight student-athletes helped Valdosta State go all the way to the Sweet Sixteen and finish just three points shy of going to the NCAA Division II's Elite Eight this past season.

MARTINEZ -- Contra Costa Fire District Chief Daryl Louder is calling it quits after two-and-a-half years in the Golden State.
The former Fairfax County, Va., fire chief told county supervisors in an email Monday that family obligations are pulling him back home, and he will retire on Oct. 31 from the $176,975-a-year job.
"It has been an ongoing challenge for my wife and I to reside in California when all of our family members live on the East Coast," wrote Louder, 58, who recently put his Concord house on the real estate market. "Now, we have family members who are experiencing health problems that require our closer attention and time."
Louder says he will devote the next seven months to helping the county's largest fire department deal with its serious financial problems and transition to a new fire chief.
"I appreciate Chief Louder giving us seven months' notice of his upcoming retirement," said Supervisor Karen Mitchoff of Concord. "Family matters are always the first priority. I wish him well in his retirement."
The chief is retiring from full-time employment as a fire professional, but he will not collect a Contra Costa County pension, Louder confirmed. He would have had to work at least five years to become eligible for the benefit. Instead, he will receive retirement income from Virginia, he said.
The chief has had a rough time in Contra Costa, arriving in mid-2010 as the brunt of the housing market collapse hit his department's budget. The fire district depends almost solely on property taxes, which saw double-digit dips as home values plunged. The district's financial woes were exacerbated by rapidly rising firefighters' pension contribution rates.
Voters then nixed a temporary parcel tax last year that would have kept the agency somewhat intact, and the chief has been unhappily focused on shaving service and closing stations. Several members of the Board of Supervisors also have openly criticized the chief's job performance.
But Louder said that is not why he's leaving.
"Yes, it is a very challenging environment, but that's what they pay me to do, to make some difficult decisions," Louder said. "(The challenges had) nothing to do with my decision. It was strictly a personal decision."

Old English efen (adjective), efne (adverb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch even, effen and German eben.
In the sense 'flat and smooth', even is an Old English word. Even as in evening (Old English) is from a different Old English word, one related to German Abend 'afternoon'. An even break, meaning 'a fair chance', was popularized by the American comedian W. C. Fields (1886–1946) in his catchphrase, 'Never give a sucker an even break', which itself went on to become the title of one of his best-known films. There does not seem to have been a real Stephen behind the phrase even Stephen or even Stephens, meaning 'completely even or equal'. It probably comes from Journal to Stella by Jonathan Swift: 'Now we are even, quoth Stephen' (1711). If a ship is on an even keel it is not tilting to the side. The keel is the supporting structure along the base of a ship; even here it is in the old sense 'in a level position, horizontal'.

Garnish the sandwiches with 2 tablespoons chopped basil and serve with kalamata olives (if desired).

Is 2/19 must hear stuff? Maybe so, maybe not -- the next night is where it's at, and the best Phish of 1993 comes in August. But this is still good shit, and the band's unwavering energy is palpable even in these recordings twenty years later.
P.S. When I fired this one up today, I thought I had screwed up and sorted my files in reverse -- seeing the Loving Cup opener and AC/DC Bag encore definitely tripped me up!

On Monday, March 12, CKNJ wrote an article about a Taylor County Public Library board meeting. The paper printed that they had hired a new cleaning person. Well, that was a shocker since we knew nothing about it. But that afternoon, I get a call from the new librarian saying that wasn't true what the paper printed. Well, I say OK since I had no reason not to believe it.

Have significant comorbidities, that in the judgment of the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for standard dose induction chemotherapy (e.g. anthracycline and infusional cytarabine given as 7+3); or d. Any patient age greater than or equal to 70 years.
- Blast count greater than or equal to 20 percent (World Health Organization (WHO) criteria)
- Greater than 25 percent of blasts must be CD33 positive.
- Creatinine less than 2.0 mg/dl
- Estimated creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 50ml/min.
- Bilirubin less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dl; aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) less than or equal to 2.5 times the upper limits of normal (ULN).
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status less than or equal to 3.
Exclusions (conditions that would prevent participation in this study)
- Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia.
- Treatment with chemotherapy or biologic therapy within 3 weeks, except for hydroxyurea, which must be discontinued prior to treatment on study
- Treatment with radiation within 6 weeks
- Active serious infections uncontrolled by antibiotics
- Active malignancy within 2 years of entry, except previously treated non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and organ confined prostate cancer with no evidence of progressive disease based on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and are not on active therapy
- Clinically significant cardiac or pulmonary disease
- Active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia. Patients with symptoms of CNS involvement, particularly those with M4 or M5 subtypes, should undergo lumbar puncture prior to treatment on study to exclude CNS disease. Symptoms include cranial neuropathies, other neurologic deficits, and headache.

Fire captain hurt in rescue
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 10:51 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 10:51 a.m.
A Bayou Cane fire captain was treated for hypothermia Wednesday night after being called out to rescue a woman bystanders believed was trapped in her vehicle in the bayou off La. 311, authorities said.
Amber Bell, 26, of Houma, was allegedly driving drunk on La. 311 north of Bull Run Road when her car went off the road into the bayou. Firefighters were called at 11:45 p.m. Due to conflicting witness reports, firefighters mistakenly believed someone was still inside the car.
Fire Captain Kurt Detillier was treated for hypothermia. Bell had escaped her car with minor injuries and was taken to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, police said.
She was charged with DWI, careless operation, driving without a license and not wearing a seat belt, police said.

STOCKTON - The U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday that three Stockton men were recently indicted as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, an initiative that brings together federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to combat gun and gang crime, authorities said.
Barry Rhodes, 27, Arthurton Warren, 31, and Hector Montanez, 24, all of Stockton, were charged with being felons in possession of firearms, authorities said. Rhodes, who was indicted Thursday, was caught with a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun, officials said. Warren, who was indicted March 14, reportedly had a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol and a sawed-off shotgun. Montanez, indicted March 7, was found in possession of a 9 mm Glock pistol, officials said.
All three were arrested as part of an investigation involving the Stockton Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, authorities said.
STOCKTON - Police arrested three teenagers who held a 14-year-old boy at gunpoint and stole his gold dental inserts Wednesday afternoon in north Stockton, authorities said.
The victim was walking in the 6000 block of Fred Russo Drive shortly after 3 p.m. when he was confronted by the robbers. One pointed a revolver at the victim and took his dental inserts as well as a beanie before the thieves fled on foot, police said.
Officers found the robbers a short time later near Holman Road and East Hammer Lane. They were in possession of the victim's property and a .22-caliber Magnum revolver, authorities said. Police arrested three boys, ages 14, 15 and 17, on suspicion of robbery and possession of stolen property.
STOCKTON - Police arrested a man with two outstanding warrants Wednesday evening following a vehicle pursuit in southwest Stockton, authorities said.
Community Response Team officers tried to initiate a traffic stop near Flatboat Street and Zeally Lane at 7:53 p.m.
The driver refused to pull over and led officers on a pursuit that lasted several minutes before he returned to Flatboat and Zeally, where he attempted to flee toward a house, police said.
Officers apprehended the man and found a loaded gun inside his vehicle, police said. Frederick Gonzalez, 27, was arrested on suspicion of evading police, resisting arrest and carrying a concealed firearm, authorities said. He also was arrested on a $250,000 warrant and a $50,000 warrant.

PALO ALTO -- When something went wrong on a casual climb at Yosemite National Park and Blake Parkinson found himself plummeting off a craggy pinnacle, there was no reason to panic.
The recreational rock scrabbler who works as a college admissions officer at Stanford University knew that after about 30 feet, his climbing partner would feel the rope go taut in its anchorage and brake the line, leaving Parkinson dangling cliffside but not much worse for wear.
"Then you'd communicate with the climber," said Ben Tomsky, who was below Parkinson and holding the rope for the Easter outing. "Then usually you'd hear back, 'I'm OK, I'm going to keep going.' But in this circumstance I did not hear that back."
Parkinson, 26, had landed on a five-foot outcropping, slamming his back into the rock just as his safety line went taut. It was his worst fall in four years of climbing, and one that ended with a dramatic air rescue by a crack Yosemite team flown in by a California Highway Patrol chopper crew.
"That ledge was in a bad place," he said, speaking on Tuesday from his hospital bed in Modesto where he remains with a fractured spine. "I was conscious -- I was wearing a helmet -- and I knew that it was worse than other falls. Yeah, I was in a lot of pain, and it took me a moment to kind of regroup and figure out what happened."
When Tomsky reached his friend, it was obvious that they wouldn't be clambering down the mountain on their own.
"Calling for help is a last resort," Tomsky said. "It's a climber's ethic to do everything you can to get yourself out, but sometimes the way it happens luck just isn't with you."
Parkinson said that while the outing ended bad, it could have been much worse. He said he can move his arms and legs so paralysis isn't an issue, and that after a few weeks of intensive therapy he hopes to return home to Palo Alto.
He praised the CHP and Yosemite Search and Rescue team for skillfully removing him from the Higher Cathedral Spire, a popular climbing site. The rescue involved deftly flying the chopper next to the monolith and dropping the lifesavers into position, then returning to lift Parkinson out to the valley floor.
"I remember looking up at the helicopter medic, and she was saying good words to me and keeping me stable for the flight," he said. "It was a pretty surreal experience. I've witnessed rescues like that in Yosemite but didn't imagine I'd ever be taking part in one myself."
CHP flight medical Officer Andrea Brown joked that after Parkinson returned a thumbs-up gesture, she knew that he'd been given something for the pain, otherwise "he wouldn't have tolerated that at all."
"He was thanking us for what we were doing, and I told him that it was the guys on the ground that did the hard part," Brown said. "He definitely was not having a good day, but we were there to help."
The CHP and Yosemite rangers train with each other just for such situations, Brown said. While they never know when someone's going need a rescue, with the park's popularity among climbers it's not an uncommon occurrence.
"It goes in spurts," Brown said. "We had three in the last two and a half weeks, but sometimes there won't be one in a month."
Tomsky said the pinnacle wasn't a particularly difficult climb, and that just the day before they completed the more technical "South by Southwest" on Lower Cathedral Spire.
"This climb was well within our abilities," Tomsky said. "Everything was going quite smoothly and we were moving very quickly. It was just as we'd hoped and planned."
Parkinson does not remember exactly what went wrong, and said it is too early to tell if he will eventually be able to resume scaling cliffs. But he said he will always find something to do outdoors.
"We'll see what my back allows, but the mountains are a very important part of my life," he said. "I'm looking forward to spending more time in the mountains."

A mistrial was declared Thursday due to a hung jury following the trial of Larry G. Blair, 52, accused of rape by his 38-year-old niece.
The woman alleged Blair assaulted her on Feb. 11 of this year at his former residence in Lowell after a night out drinking.
Washington County Common Pleas Judge Susan Boyer declared a mistrial after the 12-member jury deliberated more than six hours and failed to reach a verdict.

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Larry Blair and his lawyer, Shawna Landaker, listen as the prosecution and defense attorneys make final remarks to the jury in Washington County Common Pleas Judge Susan Boyer's court Thursday. Blair was charged with the alleged rape of a relative in February of this year.
Court officials did not specify late Thursday whether another trial will be scheduled for Blair, who faced up to 11 years in prison if he had been convicted on the first-degree felony charge.
Larry Blair and his brother, Daniel "Jake" Blair, took the stand Thursday morning before the prosecution and defense wrapped up the two-day trial with final remarks to the jury.
The court received testimony from the alleged victim and other witnesses for the prosecution on Wednesday.
Fact Box
Mistrial declared
- A mistrial was declared Thursday by Washington County Common Pleas Judge Susan Boyer in the trial of Larry G. Blair, 52, formerly of 565 Fleming Road, Lowell.
- The mistrial was declared after the 12-member jury failed to reach a verdict after six hours of deliberation.
- Larry Blair remains in the Washington County Jail on $100,000 bond.
Jake Blair testified first on Thursday and said he knew Larry had had sexual intercourse with their niece in the early morning hours of Feb. 11 at Jake's 565 Fleming Road home in Lowell, where Larry was also living at the time.
But Jake testified that he had heard no indications of a struggle that night, although he was awake in his upstairs bedroom when the alleged rape occurred.
"Were you kind of listening to what was going on downstairs in (Larry's) bedroom?" public defender Ray Smith asked.
"Yes," Jake answered, adding that the only noise in his own bedroom at the time was from a radio on which the volume had been turned down low.
During testimony Wednesday, Sgt. Scott Mankins with the Washington County Sheriff's Office said Jake's initial statement to investigators after the incident indicated he had the radio on and a breathing apparatus operating when the incident occurred.
Larry Blair testified that since late 2011 he and his niece had frequented area bars together and he regularly bought her drinks.
The night of the alleged rape Larry and the woman had been drinking with friends at the the Four Seasons and Locker Room Sports Bar in Marietta.
He said they left the bar around midnight and his niece was driving his SUV. They dropped their friends off at home, then headed along Muskingum River Road toward the home in Lowell.
But near Devol's Dam Larry Blair said his niece drove the 4-wheel-drive vehicle down a rough side road to a location just below the dam.
"We had a conversation there and talked about going to my house and having sex," he said. "I told her Jake was there, and she asked what I was going to do about Jake."
The couple traveled on to the house and after entering Larry told Jake he should go to bed.
Jake admitted to Assistant Washington County Prosecutor Kevin Rings that he knew what Larry was planning to do, and told his brother it was something he wouldn't do.
Larry said after Jake went upstairs he waited awhile, then went on to bed. He said his niece was already in the bedroom, sitting on the bed fully clothed, and smoking a cigarette.
He and the niece each undressed themselves and then had sex, Larry Blair testified.
Smith noted that during her testimony Wednesday the victim told the court that Larry had held her arms and ripped her clothes off.
"That's the first time I'd heard that," Larry said. "I did not do that."
"Did she say 'stop' or 'no'?" Smith asked.
Larry said she did not protest and then accused his niece of lying about that. He added that if there had been any scream or struggle Jake would have come downstairs and intervened.
Later on the morning of the alleged rape, Jake woke Larry and told him the victim was driving away in his SUV, but Larry said he was not concerned because he knew she would bring it back, then he rolled over and went back to sleep.
The victim and witnesses testified Wednesday that she had driven the vehicle to friends' homes where she pounded on doors, crying for help.
Rings noted that a nurse who examined the niece after the incident confirmed that she was visibly upset.
When police arrived around 11 a.m. on the day of the alleged rape, both Larry and Jake Blair told officers that nothing had happened.
"We already know Jake lied to officers to protect his family-and by that we mean his brother, Larry. So why should we believe him now?" Rings asked the jury during closing statements.
He said the defendant also lied more than once to investigators.
"But now he says he's telling the truth," Rings said of Larry Blair.
In part of his summary Rings said Larry Blair "drank too much, wanted to have sex, and did what he wanted with his niece. Then he lied to the investigators."
Smith reminded the jury that if they were not completely convinced that a rape occurred, they could not find Larry Blair guilty of the crime.
He said too much drinking by Larry and his niece led to their sexual encounter. Larry testified that both had drunk several rounds of beer prior to the incident.
Alcohol makes people do things they wouldn't normally do, Smith said in his closing remarks to the jury.
"That's what happened. If she wasn't drinking they wouldn't have had sex. If (Larry) hadn't been drinking they wouldn't have sex," Smith said. "But that's what happened. And Jake would have stopped it if she had said 'no.'"
Smith noted Larry Blair went to Myrtle Beach, S.C., a week after the alleged incident took place, where he stayed with his estranged wife until he was arrested by Myrtle Beach authorities and later transported back to this area by Washington County Sheriff's deputies in July.
Smith said Blair just wanted to get away after the alleged incident, was not hiding from authorities, and did not resist arrest after he was contacted at the South Carolina address.

Solution pairs RFID-embedded pallets with AGVs
March 21, 2011 - MMH Editorial
iGPS and Egemin Automation announced a partnership of their technologies in a press conference held yesterday at iGPS's booth (Booth 4531).
The solution combines iGPS pallets, embedded with RFID technology plus proprietary software, with Egemin's automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) and RFID readers. This enables the AGVs to scan and track each load during transport. The data captured is automatically transmitted to the facility's WMS, eliminating load blind spots within a warehouse.
Currently in use at the facilities of four manufacturers, the combined solutions provide a high level of load visibility, said Tom Kaminski, director of products and sales for Egemin.
The goal is to expand the technology throughout North America and into Europe within the next three years and explore opportunities in automotive parts and pharmaceutical verticals.
"Replacing traditional load-handling methodologies, including wood pallets and standard forklifts, with this automated system gives users a much higher level of supply chain knowledge and visibility than was achievable in the past," said John Ledwith, director of sales for iGPS.
ProMat 2011 will be held March 21 - 24, 2011 at McCormick Place South in Chicago. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry.

During the past four decades, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, has evolved from a controllable nuisance into a serious public health concern. MRSA is largely a hospital-acquired infection, in fact, one of the most common. Recently, however, new strains have emerged in the community that are capable of causing severe infections in otherwise healthy people.

Thoughts of wind, waves and whales
|Notice how calm the water is? Notice how clear the sky is? Notice those clouds ahead? Shortly after this photo was taken, the clouds became a squall line, the wind kept getting strong and the waves just kept getting bigger. Interesting challenge . . . (Tim Jones photo)
Our goal on this trip was to paddle our sea kayaks on spectacular Saguenay Fjord and, hopefully, see some whales as we paddled. We'd signed up for two guided paddles with OrganizAction (www.OrganisAction.com), one of several companies which run kayak tours on the Fjord.
On our first excursion, a strong wind kept us within Baie Éternité. The winds continued next day; we saw other kayakers out on the cove at L'Anse Saint Jean but they were clearly struggling and we stayed ashore. Thursday would have been ideal for kayaking but (naturally) I was committed to fishing on the Petit Saguenay. Heavy thunderstorms rolled through that night.
Friday was our last hope for paddling among the whales. Not a breath of wind so much as rippled the water when we met our guide, Mathieu Bergeron at low tide on the shores of Anse Saint Étienne and dragged our boats about 200 yards to launch. A half a mile later we paddled into the main Fjord with a breeze rippling the water. Our goal was Baie Sainte Marguerite, a common hangout for whales about 3.5 miles away.
As we paddled, looking for whales, the winds picked up-but so gradually we hardly noticed. Still, by the time we reached Cap Sainte Marguerite, a sharp rain squall blew through, leaving the waves topped with whitecaps. I jokingly told Marilyn her new nickname was "She Who Calls The Winds." Mathieu, who sits in a rocking sea kayak as comfortably as most of us sit in an easy chair didn't seem concerned, but I asked to pull out at the first safe beach for lunch. As we fought the wind, Marilyn saw our first whale of the trip, about 50 yards ahead. I was looking in the wrong direction and missed it. . .
We sat on a rocky point, ate our lunches, and watched for whales, but all we could see were building waves and whitecaps. By the time we finished lunch, the quiet little beach we had landed on was being pounded by 3-foot waves. Launching was a trick, and the next 10 minutes were just plain scary in closely-spaced waves as high as our heads.
Mathieu stayed close to Marilyn to help keep her safe. I could barely control my boat, but made it safely into a tiny, semi-protected cove where I waited for Mathieu and "She Who Calls The Wind." From there, we decided to raft the three boats together and, basically, let the wind push us where we were going. Marilyn's boat was sandwiched in the middle as she held on to both Mathieu's boat and mine. Mathieu and I paddled as needed to steer us on the correct course. We floated about three miles that way in 45 minutes, back to the mouth of the cove where we'd launched.
As we separated and paddled into the protected waters of the cove, we began to see pure white Beluga whales around us, nine in total, some as close as 50 yards. We could see and hear it when they spouted. In the calm water, seeing the whales was like seeing a rainbow after a violent storm had passed; it felt like a blessing..
The 10 scary minutes around Cap Sainte Marguerite were just that, 10 very scary minutes. I'm glad we did it, glad no one capsized, glad we didn't have to do it any longer. Overall, paddling among the whales of Saguenay Fjord was one of the most soul-satisfying experiences I've ever had outdoors. Marilyn and I are already planning to go back as soon as we can. Life isn't a spectator sport.. Get out and enjoy!
Where To Stay, Eat, Play
Our first night was spent in the Auberge de la rivière Saguenay (www.aubergesaguenay.com) in the village of La Baie where inkeeper Pauline Gagnon and her husband welcomed us as friends, fed us a great dinner and breakfast, and put us in a room with a spectacular view out onto the improbably-named Baie des Ha! Ha!. Highly recommended.
Our second night was in the comfortable "Hutopia" cabin tent in Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay, which had clean sheets and blankets, stove, fridge, pots dishes and utensils, even a heater-essentially everything needed for comfort. We cooked our own dinner, went to bed very early
It rained and the wind blew much of the next day, but we had fun touring the village of L'Anse-Saint-Jean and whiling away the afternoon in the Nordic Spa at Edouard-les-Bains (www.edouard-les-bains.com). Our third night we ate an excellent dinner and slept in a very comfortable room at Auberges des Cévennes where innkeeper Thomas Dufour served up a delicious dinner of local produce and fresh salmon
After a day spent fishing on the Petit Saguenay River (www.petitsaguenay.com) while Marilyn stayed at the Auberges des Cévennes and explored L'Anse Saint Jean, our fourth night, was spent in a cozy cabin right next to a waterfall (Chutes St Antoine ) on the Petit Saguenay River. Talk about relaxing-listening to the water flow all night long! We ate dinner that night in the lovely Auberge du Jardin www.aubergedujardin.com and enjoyed one of the Top 10 best restaurant meals ever (five course, each perfect!). Don't miss it.
Our paddle with the whales on Friday, launched from the Village Vacances Petit-Saguenay a summer camp for adults and kids on the shores of Anse Saint Étienne. Beautiful spot asnd a great place for a "French immersion" vacation for you and your kids.
For our last night, we drove down to Tadoussac where Saguenay Fjord empties into the St. Lawrence River and spent one night in the elegant Hôtel Tadoussac (www.hoteltadoussac.com). If you like the Omni Mount Washington, you'll love this place. Same elegance, beautiful garden, gorgeous views. The buffet dinner at their Le Coverdale Dining Room was simply excellent.
Then we had to drive home . . . sigh.

Yesterday the 4th the doc said he just has a head cold and didn't know how to rid the gunk and that was what was giving him the wheeze! All this il without doing a chest X ray or bloodwork so we get sent home with a nasal aspirator and ranitidine and ventolin
As soon as we get home a series of events that have changed my life forever start to occur LO starts becoming really lethargic grunting moaning I keep giving him nebulizers hoping he will get better. I went to the steamy shower with him but he's too lethargic. My red lights start going off in my head I have never seen LO this sick ! He starts running a series if fevers all well over 100 ! Scary so I give him Tylenol suppositories because by this time he's not eating and drinking and is super lethargic all which I'm trying to fix :(' nothing changes
So at around 3 am the most scary stuff wakes me up I wake up to LO turning blue not breathing high fever that Tylenol wasn't fixing and foaming at his mouth! I scream to Dh to call 911 his body was also limp when I lifted him up.
We come here to the hospital me crying hysterically that the doc has to treat him or I'll go to another hospital because she had discharged us less than 12 hours ago So the paediatrician sees us and re admits my LO
Does an X-ray and finds he has pneumonia in his lungs and that's not ALL he also has bronchitis and rsv all three together could be lethal to my LO !! So now in sitting here in icu with my LO who is on oxygen who is severely dehydrated can't wake up or eat I haven't slept in 5 days and were waiting to do more blood work tomorrow something about cultures to rule out a lot of stuff he is just getting antibiotics.
But I can't believe my LO went from being the bEST baby on earth to this! I can't stop my tears from flowing seeing him so helpless prob hoping I would save him but can't its a waiting game now. I have to wait and see what he is suffering. From and we start a treatment plan !
Thanks for reading this far ! :(

Sadly, the built-in speakers lining your laptop or monitor are rarely worthy of high praise. A quality speaker system is essential when it comes to music and movies, though, allowing you to experience more than what's typically afforded from the chintzy speakers that come stock with your machine. These days, the realm of desktop speakers is more robust than ever before, quickly deviating from the boxy designs of their age-old counterparts with every new iteration, while offering wireless functionality and producing unprecedented sound in an affordable package.
Related: Cut the chord and not the sound with 11 of our favorite wireless speakers
As such, we compiled our favorite desktop speakers for upgrading your sound quality. We can't guarantee they'll make listening to the new Carly Rae Jepsen record any more enjoyable, but at least it will sound better.
The Best
Aperion Allaire ($400)
The Allaire offers the most complete combination of high-end sound quality, versatility, and connectivity in the genre. With Bluetooth, a digital optical input, an analog input, a subwoofer output, and a USB port for charging devices, the Allaire is suitable for almost any installation. However, what really sells us on this set is its outstanding sound quality, which offers rich bass response, pure midrange details, and pristine treble. For a desktop that often doubles as an entertainment center, there is no better choice at this price point. Read our full review.

The Rest
Polk Hampden ($200)
The Polk Hampden hits the sweet spot, and revels in a handsome vintage design that produces robust volume and a sprawling, accurate sound stage. The old-school interface on the front showcases the volume much like an analog flip clock would — adding to the aesthetic — while a button housed on the side allows you to switch the source between digital USB, Bluetooth, and analog 3.5mm.

Buy now from:
Edifier e25 Luna Eclipse ($200)
The ultra-modern e25 Luna Eclipse are as outstanding in terms of build quality as they are in sound.

The control knob allows you to quickly change the volume adjust the bass, too, and the black-and-gold design renders the system subtle enough for any desktop setup. Plus, it doesn't carry the price tag normally associated with high-end speakers.
Buy now from:
JBL Pebbles ($32)
At a mere $30 or so, the JBL Pebbles are the most affordable on our list. Nonetheless, these USB-powered speakers revel in clever cable management, a unique compact design, and a well-rounded sound signature that's both punchy and tuneful for their diminutive size. We wish they came bundled with a USB adapter, but the plug-and-play dynamics are hard to pass up. Read our full review.
Buy now from:
Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 ($150)

KEF Egg ($500)
Kef's oddly-shaped Egg speakers reach new highs in terms of both price and sound quality.
