Although your wedding is a time of romance and love, it is also a religious experience. Each religion has a specific meaning and places a certain emphasis on the union between two individuals. With this in mind, a lot of couples feel the need to represent their religion, during their wedding. Although there are several different ways to make this happen, many will use votive candles and votive candle holders to create a place, where guests will be able to give their offering. In this comprehensive guide, you'll learn all there is to know about these candle holders.
What are these candle holders?
Although these candle holders are commonly used for religious purposes, they do not actually have to be used in this manner. These candle holders are designed to be used with specific candles, which are referred to as votive candles. Typically, these holders are actually very thick and they are normally designed with some similar commonalities. The holders are generally round and tall enough for the candle to fit inside completely. Once the candle has been placed into the holder, the flame will not be able to escape, which is certainly a benefit.
Different Varieties
When you begin exploring the available votive candle holders, you will see that there are actually a number of different varieties. Although the vases work in a similar manner, they each offer a unique appearance. Obviously, your final decision will be a personal one. With this in mind, it is helpful to make sure that you know the specific holders that are available to you. Below, you will be able to discover the various types.
• Basic – The basic candle holder is just that. It is just round and doesn't exhibit any unique appearance. In fact, it resembles a shot glass very closely.
• Trapezoid – The trapezoid candle holders are a little bit different. They're not round and are actually square. Typically, the bottom is a little thinner than the top, which is wider.
• Round – Finally, there are round candle holders. These holders are normally a little shorter than the others and are more circular.
• Hobnail – These candle holders can be made like any of the above designs, but they're fitted with hobnails. These are small bumps, which extend out of the glass, for added effect.
Although these are the different types of votive candle holders, the differentials do not end there. They can also be created with a variety of intricate designs and are available in many different colors.
What To Know When Buying
Before you attempt to purchase the votive candle holders for your wedding, it is vital to know exactly what you need and want. First and foremost, you need to know exactly how you're going to be using the candle holders. Some engaged couples are going to be interested in decorating each of their tables, while others will only want to decorate a centerpiece. Basically, you should make your determination and make an estimation for the specific number of candle holders needed.
Next, you'll need to take the time to explore the various types of wedding themes. Hopefully, you already have a good idea of what you want, at this point. Once you've gotten your wedding theme confirmed, you'll be able to quickly choose candle holders that will match your selection. Since these holders are available in various colors, you will also want to match your selection to your color scheme.
Basic Tips for Success
Truthfully, it is very easy to use these candle holders to beautify your wedding. However, there are some specific tips, which can be incorporated to make the process a little easier. Below, you will find tips that should not be ignored.
• Don't Be Afraid To Overspend – Honestly, your wedding is a once in a lifetime event and you shouldn't be afraid to overspend! If you find an astoundingly beautiful candle holder, you should definitely purchase it and incorporate it in your wedding's décor.
• Rehearse At Home – Once you've gotten your candle holders, you shouldn't hesitate to rehearse at home. Set up your display and light the candles. This will allow you to see exactly how the arrangement will look, once the flame has been lit. Be sure to readjust and make corrections, until the display is up to par.
• Try Different Colors – Since these items are relatively inexpensive, you will definitely want to consider purchasing several different colors. Although you should remain true to your color scheme, experimentation is always helpful
• Use With Similar Vases – Sometimes, it is very beautiful to display a few candle holders together with some vases. As long as they look similar, they'll be able to enhance one another's appearance. Use several different sizes for a cool look.
• Consider Thicker Glass – Some of these holders are made with much thicker glass. Although this might increase the price a little, it will certainly improve the holder's overall durability and longevity. The extra durability will help to prevent the holder from breaking from a drop.
You should also remember to check out the current wedding trends to discover new ways to use votive candle holders. Stealing the ideas is acceptable, but you should also thinking about stealing little pieces and incorporating them into your own decoration. Use the inspiration of others to inspire you!
Buy or Rent
When attempting to choose your candle holders, you will need to take a step back and look at your specific needs, desires and ultimately, your budget. How much money are you willing to spend on these items and how much effort are you willing to put into the search? Suffice to say, many couples will find it easier to rent all of their decorations, including their votive candle holders, from a rental company. This has a number of benefits and can be a little less expensive. Also, you will not have to worry about dealing with the decorations, once the wedding is over.
Of course, the holders aren't very expensive and won't place a major dent in your budget. At the same time, these holders can actually be very useful, if you own them! You'll be able to save a few and use them as a family heirloom. On the other hand, you should consider passing these onto to your wedding guests, as favors. Each option should be considered, before making a final decision.
Consider Personalization
If you want to do something unique with your votive candle holders, you will want to consider adding a little personalization. There are a variety of companies, which allow consumers to create their very own candle holders. When purchasing holders in this manner, your options will be plentiful! First, you'll have the option of changing the color. Most companies offer a variety of different colors from clear to black, blue and even cyan.
Of course, the most charming aspect of personalization is having the ability to place your very own phrase or logo on the candle. Depending on the company that you do business with, you'll be able to adjust the font, before you select the words and phrases you want sprawled across the holder. Be sure to choose a memorable and inspirational phrase that means something to you and your significant other.
Using The Holders As Favors
The wedding favors are extremely important and will help you show your guests that you appreciate and love them! Therefore, it is essential to make sure that you give your guests some awesome favors that they'll enjoy! Although candies and alcohol are always a good option, these things will be consumed nearly instantly and forgotten. Therefore, you should consider using your votive candle holders, as your wedding's favors.
In order to do this, you will want to make sure that the holders are beautiful and attractive. Although it is possible to use the holders with candles, this isn't necessarily. Instead, you could use them for all types of decorations, including potted plants. Your guests will enjoy this type of favor very much. At the same time, you shouldn't be afraid to give them the holder and the candle. They're relatively inexpensive and your guests will likely actually use the candle. If they do not, they can always take the candle out and use the candle holder, as a shot glass!
Unscented Votive Candle
Most Christians prefer the unscented votive candle, because it is more suitable. This is a replica of the traditional candle that has been utilized in weddings for many centuries. They are very inexpensive and can be purchased, as a bulk order. These are the perfect candles for any wedding, since they are clean burning and will not leave an after scent of smoke.
Dry Lentils
There are no rules, when it comes to decorating votive candle holders. In fact, you can pretty much incorporate any food item, in your kitchen into the wedding décor. Dry lentils are a popular decorating item, because they are available innumerable colors, shapes, and sizes. Of course, the pinto bean would not be appropriate for a wedding, but the black-eyed and green peas will work perfectly.
There are several ways that you can envelop the dry lentil into decorating the votive candle. You will need clear, glass votive candle holders, adhesive, and lentils for this project. Spray the adhesive over the bottom and half way up the sides of the holder in a circular motion. You may need to draw a line around the center of the holder, so that the outcome looks uniformed. Pour the lentils into a bowl and roll the wet holder into them, until the entire area is covered. If there are any empty spots, you may have to use a pasty adhesive, instead of the spray formula and glue each lentil onto the glass individually. The lentil decorated candle holder will look amazing on any buffet table.
Another great idea is to pour the lentils into a clear candle holder, half way full and then place the votive candle into the mixture. This will also be a very eye appealing decoration that will draw attention.
Red lentils will also add a bit of color to the décor, but make sure that you stick within the color scheme.
Decorating Your Wedding Arch
Your wedding arch is going to be the main focal point of most photographs taken at your wedding. Not only can you decorate your arch with garlands, flowers, or string lights, but you can also incorporate the votive candle holder into the overall decor.
You can rent the wedding arch from a bridal shop that is equipped with votive candle holders. These metal arches will need to be decorated properly, in order to make them fit into the wedding. Utilize flowers, sashes, and greenery, so that the metal is concealed from view. Stick with the wedding theme and color scheme, when constructing this display.
Set your unique wedding arch up outside, so that your guests can also take advantage of the display, by utilizing it as a photo backdrop. Be sure to light the votive candles at dusk, so the atmosphere will be illuminated perfectly.
Glitter Votive Candle holders
If you want to give the candle holders a little extra zest, then there is no better way to do that than by giving them a glitter makeover. The best thing about this process is it is cost efficient, simple, and customizable, since you can add you own creative ideas. To create a glitter votive candle holder you just basically take a candle holder, spray it with adhesive, and sprinkle glitter all over it. It is very important to make sure that you cover every inch of the candle holder with glitter even the inside of the glass. After you have done this you will just simply let the candle holder dry and place a candle inside.
You can utilize these glitzy creations, as a wedding décor, centerpiece, and for lighting purposes. Arrange them in a unique pattern on a reception or buffet table. The glitter votive candle holder will beam enough light for any formal occasion.
Silver Rhinestone
The traditional votive candle holder is truly not that glamorous, but there are no laws that say that you cannot add a bit of decoration to the holder. There are many different arts & craft accessories that you can use to add pizzazz to that original votive candle holder.
Wrap the candle holder with a suitable cloth ribbon, silver rhinestone, burlap, and leaves. While you will be forced to stay within the color scheme and wedding theme, you will be able to utilize most of these accessories. The silver rhinestone will add the bling that those original holders will need, if you want them to stick out and draw attention.
Sit the silver rhinestone candle holders on a mirror and place it in the center of the reception tables. The candle flame will reflect off of the mirror and rhinestone, so that it attracts your guests' attention.
Create Hanging Votive Candle holders
If you are hosting a backyard wedding or one outdoors, there is nothing that is going to impress your guest more than hanging votive candle holders. This is a fairly simply process. Below, you will be able to find a list of a few things that you are going to need.
• Bell shaped votive holders. It is imperative that you use bell shaped votive holders otherwise this process will not work.
• Wire (20 or 22 gauge wire)
• Votive candles
• Scissors (If you are using 20 or 22 gauge wire, then regular kitchen scissors are going to work just fine)
The first thing you want to do is cut a couple of pieces of wire. You can make them about 24 inches long. These pieces of wire will be used to wrap around the candle holder. Once you wrap the wire around the circumference of the holder, you want to twist the two pieces of wire together several times. Now, you can cut the remaining strands left. So basically now you are left with your candle holder and a piece of wire nicely secured to the bell shaped part of the holder.
You are now going to make the wire that will actually hold the candle holder. Remember to make this piece of wire as long as you want. It really just depends on where and how far you want the candle holder to hang down. So once you have your wire cut to length take one end of it a loop it under the wire that is already attached to the candle holder. You will now twist this wire in the same manner that you did when you attached the first piece of wire to the candle holder. After you have done this to both ends of the wire, you are complete. If you want to add a little extra special touch, then you can even tie ribbons around the candle holder. Not only will this add a little extra pep, but it will also help hide the wire.
Small Floral Arrangements
When attempting to decorate the tables all around your venue, it is vital to consider the vase! It is imperative to have a beautiful vase, in order to pull the display together. Obviously, the size of the vase will play a major role in your future decisions. However, it is possible to create some very cute and adorable smaller floral arrangements, by using tiny vases, such as votive candle holders!
With these holders, it is possible to create some beautiful flower displays, which can be used to decorate your wedding's venue. You'll need a little bit of soil and some small flowers, but the effort will be worth it. Once everything has been situated perfectly, you'll be able to place these vases on each of the tables in your venue. Of course, you should also think about giving these out, as favors, once the wedding has ended!
Cylinder Candle
If you are looking for a unique candle holder that will be suitable for your votive candle, you should consider the cylinder candle. Of course, you will have to do a little cutting and carving, but you should be able to pull this off, without difficulty.
Take the cylinder candle and cut out an area in the center that is large enough to hold the entire votive candle. It will actually take a very large candle with a diameter of around 6-7", because the candle will have a top diameter of 1-1 ½". Just be aware that you are removing the wick from the cylinder candle, so you will never be able to burn it, but you can replace the votive candle, as often as needed.
There are many different cylinder candle designs to choose from, so you will have no difficulties finding something that is appropriate for you wedding event. The floral, butterfly, or a solid colored design can be used for this project. You can wrap the candle with burlap or lace to add an elegant appearance and romantic ambience to the reception hall.
Adding a Rustic Touch
If you are looking to add a little rustic appearance to your special day, then this next project will be great for you. By using natural elements indoors, you will be making the space cozy and very inviting. Here is a list of things that you are going to need:
• Flat sided candle holders
• Multi-purpose craft glue (wood and glass)
• Pruners and sticks
You want to begin by washing you candle holder with soap and water. This will clean the surface and prepare it for glue. You now want to take your sticks and trim them to around the same height as the candle holder. Keep in mind that you do not want to cut them all the same size. You will end up with a much better look, if they vary in size just a little bit. You are now ready to glue the sticks to the side of the candle holder. Just simply dab glue on the part of the stick that will touch the candle holder. When attaching the stick to the holder you want to make sure you hold it firmly in place for a few seconds to give the glue time to set. You will basically repeat this same process until the entire holder is covered with sticks.
Your votive candle holders are now complete and have a rustic appearance that will bring warmth to any table.
Different Uses and Water Beads
Remember that these holders do not necessarily have to be used for candles! It is possible to use them for some unique and creative purposes. For instance, you can consider filling them with water and creating a cool decoration with water beads. These beads are available in various colors and they'll help you create something modern and unique! Decorating the outside of the votive candle holder will bring the viewer's eye to the arrangement. Make sure to experiment a lot, before you finally confirm the final look of the decoration. Looking at the ideas of others online will give you ideas, motivation and inspiration.
Candle Rings
There is nothing more charming than a floral candle ring. If you choose to develop this work of art into your overall wedding theme, you will find a limitless selection to choose from. The candle ring is basically a strand of flowers that are shaped into a circular configuration. The votive candle holder will sit perfectly into the center of the floral ring. This décor will save you a lot of grief, because you will not be forced to decorate the candle holder. A clear holder will work very well for this display, because the flowers will be snug tight and conceal most of the holder from view.
The creamy, white lily, rose candle holder is a very popular wedding décor. In fact, couples around the globe are enveloping this romantic centerpiece into their weddings. You can set the candle ring and votive candle holder on top of a round mirror, which will look outstanding on any guest table.
There are some candle rings that do not have a round circular shape, instead they are rectangular, but the votive candle can sit in the center, just like the round ring. These will be more suitable for long banquet tables, because they will make everything appear more coordinated.
If you want the candle to be more visible, you can place a flat bottom dish upside down, into the center of the floral ring. This will make a platform for the votive candle holder, so it will not be hid from view. Everyone will definitely be intrigued, by your personal creations.
When decorating your wedding, it is essential to consider using an assortment of different decorations. Votive candle holders are very beautiful, affordable and versatile! Be sure to consider adding these items to your wedding's décor, in order to create a modern decoration that will stun all of your guests! Before your wedding, you should remember to set up the arrangement in your home and see how it looks. At the same time, looking online can be very helpful and allow you to come up with a whole bunch of new ideas! Incorporating the successful ideas of other weddings into yours is always recommended and will ensure that your decorations cannot fail!

National act Watermelon Slim comes to Toledo Sunday for the Blue Collar Blues Festival.
It's a pretty obvious idea but no one thought of it until now: a blue collar blues festival.
The folks at the Black Swamp Blues Society will present their first one Sunday in the Toledo Speedway Ballroom featuring national act Watermelon Slim and Toledo's Josh Boyd and the V.I.P Band digging into that most blue collar-style of music (country music excepted, of course): the blues.
Slim, who has been nominated for six 2008 Blues Music Awards, has been a truck driver and a garbage man, among other jobs, and his band is called The Workers. Slim plays harmonica and guitar, and his albums on the Northern Blues level have received universal critical acclaim.
Boyd has also been a laborer and has won numerous awards on the local level for his rocking blues guitar style. Also on the bill are Andrew Wills and the Setting Sons and Frostbite.
Tickets are $15 for the general public and $13 for members of the blues society and will be available at the door. The Toledo Speedway Bar and Grill is at 5625 Benore Road.

Our small forest farm is nestled between the Rondevlei and Langvlei lakes and surrounded by the Garden Route National Park on a Ramsar site, a nature and bird-lover's paradise. Wake up to the call of the nearby African fish eagles and go to bed to the hoot of the owls. If you're lucky you might even spot the famed and elusive Knysna Loerie. Experience tranquility and peace! Rondevlei and Langvlei are part of a series of estuarine lakes that contribute to our Garden Route fame as a favourite South African holiday destination. The Swartvlei, Wilderness, Myoli and Cola beaches are nearby. Nearby towns include Sedgefield, Knysna and George.
We offer a choice of three self-catering accommodations: a fully-equipped cottage (sleeps max 6 adults), a fully-equipped chalet (sleeps max 2 adults plus sleeper couch) and a rustic tree house (sleeps max 2).
Guest Comments
A real bird-lovers paradise! We enjoyed our stay at Eagles Call. Gail was a very pleasant and helpful hostess and the house was in a beautiful and peaceful setting. We also saw and heard fish eagles, as well as seeing many others from the stoep of the house. A real bird-lovers paradise!

Dit was meer as wat ons verwag het. Na 'n bietjie gesoek, om die plek te kry, het ons op die mooiste huisie in die mooiste tuintjie in die middel van die bos afgekom. Tuin is baie mooi. Koos en Gail het ons baie vriendelik ontvang. Ons het baie lekker gebly, en ons is daar weg as vriende van oom Koos en sy vrou. Dit was wonderlik om deur die visarende wakker gemaak te word.
Hugo Le Roux, South Africa
Eagles Call - you can really hear it! A very tranquil setting, far from any noise or bustle except for the cry of the fish eagle and many other bird life. The cottage was very well appointed and beautifully decorated. We felt very close to nature and very relaxed, however, shops and beaches were within easy driving distances. My teenagers (who are avid photographer) had many photo opportunities. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable.

Recap: 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' - 'Poker Face'
The full ramifications of Teresa's family-bashing cookbook haven't been dealt with yet, but we're not quite at the breaking point.
Everyone is still trying to play nice this week as Jacqueline deals with Ashlee, Melissa hits the recording booth, Kathy finds a X-rated surprise on her teen son's Twitter and... well... Joe Giudice winds up with a black eye.
Troublemaker daughter Ashlee claims she's having anxiety over packing to leave for her punishment/banishment in Vegas. Jacqueline is trying her best to ignore Ashlee's antics while holding 2-year-old baby Nicholas. Jacqueline doesn't even want to take Ashlee to the airport. "Ripping her hair out is not gonna solve the problem," she notes. "Although I have pulled her hair before. It didn't work."
Caroline's son Albie is Ashlee's designated airport driver. Ashlee says she wishes she was 21 so she could drink to calm her nerves. As Albie explains, "Ashlee thinks she's Ke$ha. She has Ke$ha music playing in her head. She thinks that a limo is gonna pull up and shopping bags are gonna fly everywhere and she's gonna jump in there's gonna be Champagne and flashing lights and men and that's it. That's how life is supposed to be."
It's tough to argue with that when Ashlee says things like this: "I didn't know planes could crash until I saw the movie 'Castaway.'"
After Albie drops Ashlee at the airport, he gets a call: Ashlee missed her flight. The next one is in four hours, she'd be on standby and it's the last flight to Vegas for the day. Albie calls Jacqueline's husband Chris to explain the situation. Chris booked a one way ticket because he just wants Ashlee out of town. Albie feels like he dropped the ball by not walking Ashlee through every step. As Chris says, "Sending her to the counter is like sending Santino [the dog] to the counter."
Jacqueline isn't happy but there's company coming and she's "not gonna let it effect my mood." (That's Teresa's job, check her section of the recap for more.) Ashlee shows up at the house. No one is shocked, but they're not entirely amused either.
Eventually Ashlee is ushered back to the airport, this time with Chris driving.
Not much for Caroline this week, but she and daughter Lauren visit a nutrition specialist to deal with Lauren's weight. He asks her what she eats, and she explains she loves Italian food, but says when she eats she doesn't eat a lot.
Caroline pipes in that it's harder for a girl to be heavy, she wishes it was a problem one of her sons had instead. Also, since Lauren wants to be a makeup artist she needs to look good to succeed in a superficial industry.
The nutritionist suggests one meal per day: pasteurized egg whites combined with mixed berries or chocolate. Lauren expects the diet will work "because it's the closest thing to anorexia." Her goal is to be a size 4 or 6.
Joe and Teresa visit the Italian restaurant they're giving up managing. When he ran into his legal problems, he didn't have a drivers license so he couldn't even be there to manage.
Teresa's take on Joe's troubles with the law: "Whatever happens in life I think it' a learning lesson and it just makes you stronger." Teresa tells Joe she'll miss when he brings food home but she's excited he'll be home more.
"Everyone has financial issues. Maybe things are not fine but Joe and I will take care of it. I don't need people to feel sorry for me, I'm a strong woman and I will survive," she tells the camera.
Teresa heads to Jacqueline's house for the big gathering (the same one Ashlee wound up unexpectedly crashing after missing her flight). The cookbook controversy still hangs in the air, as does Teresa's fight with her brother Joe from last week's episode.
"I'm not gonna tell the truth because I'm not gonna knock my sister," Joe says before Teresa arrives. "But if you heard how she knocks my wife..." It seems that everyone is trying to avoid confrontation with Teresa and avoid her comments about Melissa being a golddigger, but Kathy says it's "only a matter of time before that storm hits."
Once she arrives, Teresa knows everyone has been talking about her. But she feels like she can sleep with a clear conscience, so she's not concerned. At least that's what she says. What she does is something else entirely: she gets everyone to quiet down so she can make a grand proclamation and clear the air.
Caroline tells the camera that this looks like the product of Teresa's guilty conscience, but Teresa's conscience is clear! She said so!
Teresa -- brandishing a glass of wine at least half empty -- explains again that she didn't want to offend anyone with the cookbook, but if anyone was offended she apologizes. Rich asks her if she plans to pull it off the shelf and reprint it. Teresa says nothing she wrote was malicious, it was all in fun.
Melissa tells the camera that she's satisfied Teresa at least apologized. But Joe Gorga is still upset with his sister. Teresa asks him if he read her first book, because she wrote a lot of nice things about the family in that one. And apparently everyone has told her it's a real page turner ("once you start you can't put it down!")
Joe isn't looking very comfortable, but Teresa keeps on bragging that she mentioned her brother in her acknowledgements ("That's a big deal in the publishing world!"). Teresa's husband Joe says she can stop talking now, it's time to move on.
Melissa can't resist a reply: "We'll take one for the team so you can make a little extra cash."
Jacqueline tells the camera that Teresa's big show was not a true apology. But Teresa tells the camera she felt like everyone was receptive.
While the men go off to play poker, the women stay in the kitchen to chat. There's friction between Rich and Joe Giudice and something goes down but we don't see it.
We just hear details after the fact: Joe Giudice has a black eye. Joe Gorga explains to Melissa that Rich and Joe Giudice were taking shots at each other and things escalated from there. They started tussling and both fell over a couch with Joe Giudice hitting his eye on a large iron candlestick holder.
Melissa believes that Joe Giudice having to sit back and watch his wife have all the success and bring in the money must be getting to him.
Later, while Teresa is out at a cookbook signing, Joe helps their four daughters with dinner. When two-year-old Audriana is bleeding (it's a minor cut), we see him telling her to shrug it off, which I guess implies he's a bad parent? (Seems like he's done worse.)
Caroline's sons Albie and Christopher come over to visit, and Joe starts talking trash about Joe Gorga. Christopher notes that drunk Joe Giudice used to be a blast but now has totally changed, he just boasts about himself and takes shots at other people.
Kathy's 15-year-old son Joseph is now the sophomore class President, but Rich tries to instill some business savvy into the kid by showing Joseph the gas station he owns.
Kathy is worried about Joseph for other reasons: "As long as I can get away with it I'm gonna monitor everything that's going on with my kids," she says. That includes a girl who sent Joseph a naked picture of herself over Twitter. While she shares this information with both Rich and Joseph, Kathy writes this mystery girl back and asks why she can't find something better to do with her "beauty." The girl immediately responds "LOL, I'm sorry Mrs. Wakile I just think your son is attractive."
Rich is kind of proud of the whole thing.
Melissa's storyline is all about how much she loves her husband Joe. And how wrong Teresa ever was to suggest she'd leave him for a richer man.
She even records a love song specifically for him in her home studio, and producer Corte Ellis encourages her to put her love for Joe into the song: "Not too many people get to have a studio in their home. Sing it like you're a lucky girl."
Later, at a romantic dinner with just Melissa and Joe, Joe cracks a bunch of sex jokes but Melissa is sick of hearing about his "poison." What she really wants is to play him the ballad she recorded for him. This satisfies Joe that Melissa is completely devoted to him and he drags her off to the bedroom.
What would you do if Ashlee was your daughter? What did you think of Melissa's love song to Joe? And how long until someone goes at it with Teresa (judging by the preview, I guess next week)?

New Bakfiets!
14 thoughts on "New Bakfiets!"
Hey! Just stumbled upon your post while browsing through the net reading about workcycles and their bakfietsen… We ordered their new Kr8 one and while waiting for it I am stilling my hunger for bakfietsen by reading about them online😉 Just noticed the things (dont know the right english word for it) to hook the elastics onto on the inside of your crate! Did you do that yourself or the Workcycles did that? Do you use them a lot? Are they handy? While looking at them I thought they would prove more effective when they were lower, so they would really hold _down_ the load, or am I wrong?
Kyle – love this and this is my first time seeing this – love the pug! I have Boston terriers myself so I have an appreciation for short chunky smashed face pups. I hope you don't mind answering – what model is the bakfiets? And I see you used an orange basket of some kind before for your pugster. Do you know what that is? I am going to try to teach one of my Boston's to ride in a basket on the front and I like the look of yours. Love love love the bakfiets pug stuff!🙂
Awesome Kyle! Thanks so much for the info and quick response! I think the orange basket would be great so the dog's claws don't get hung up in there. And it would be good for bike picnics too! My skinny Boston will fit in there but my chunky one is going to need a bakfiets. I think we NEED a bakfiets😉. Thanks again and so glad I saw your post! Have a great day!

Alex Smith still needs to step up. The conversation seems to be the same every week for the 49ers' would-be franchise quarterback. I thought Steve Young put it best during his recent radio interview: "He is a people-pleaser. He wants the coach to think that he is a great player and, 'I read the route and I did the right thing and we punted.' At some level, it's, 'You know what? I read the route, I read the play, I went through my reads and it didn't work out, but I'm not going to punt, all right? We're going to do something else that is going to make it so I'm going to will this thing so that it gets done.' And I think that is what I want and I said the same thing about Matt Schaub last week. At some level, Matt Schaub has the same issue. Very proficient quarterback. Leading the league in a lot of different areas and the bottom line is, you've got to grab it at the end. You've got to take this team, you've got to be the guy, the reason why this is happening. The guys that play a while -- five, six, seven, eight, 10, 15 years -- they become the reason. It's just the nature of the position at quarterback."
Rams approaching breaking point? The team has shown signs of progress over most of the season, but the first half against Arizona last week qualified as a setback. Mounting injuries could make it harder for the Rams to continue making strides over the remaining games. Their brutally difficult schedule provides a respite with the 3-7 Seahawks visiting Sunday, but Seattle is healthier and playing with a better quarterback than the Rams will have under center. The challenge facing first-year coach Steve Spagnuolo appears to be getting tougher, not easier, thanks to the injuries. How long can the Rams hang tough?
Warner's health on the line. Kurt Warner generally gets away with holding the football and maneuvering within the pocket as his receivers search for openings in a defense. I'm not sure he can afford to take those chances against Tennessee after suffering a head injury on a hard hit against the Rams in Week 11. This Cardinals-Titans matchup recalls the adage, "It's not who you play, it's when you play them." The Cardinals might have been better off facing the Titans earlier in the season, before Tennessee went from 0-6 to 4-6. The Titans have 14 sacks in their last four games after collecting only 11 in their first six. Warner figures to get hit over the next couple of weeks (Jared Allen and the Vikings await in Week 13). His ability to hold up physically will be tested.
Cracks in the 49ers' defense. The 49ers' defense has never recovered from the 477-yard whipping Atlanta applied during a 45-10 victory at Candlestick Park in Week 5. San Francisco's per-game average for yards allowed was 284 before that game and 395 starting with that game. The Jaguars have topped 400 yards in three of their last seven games. They have handed the ball to Bay Area native Maurice Jones-Drew between 24 and 33 times in four of their last five games, usually with excellent results. The 49ers were pretty much helpless against Titans running back Chris Johnson a few weeks back. They need to contain Jones-Drew if they're serious about establishing the hard-nosed identity coach Mike Singletary covets.
Panic button in sight for Seattle. The last time Seattle lost to the Rams, the Seahawks followed by overhauling their front office. That was nearly five years ago. Quite a bit has changed in the subsequent years -- Isaiah Kacyvenski, Niko Koutouvides and Chad Brown are no longer the starting linebackers, for instance -- but losing to the Rams on Sunday could have long-term ramifications. Losing to the red-hot Vikings last week was one thing. Losing to an injury-depleted Rams team with a 1-9 record would be quite another. It would cement perceptions that the Seahawks are heading nowhere this season and possibly beyond.

"Code modernization" is a hot topic. While it is widely understood that applications need to evolve with hardware, there is lot of attention to evaluating how to do that well.

This diverse set of items includes advancements in petascale-era development environments; balancing performance with power efficiency; optimizing computer science instruction; and a possible path to extreme heterogeneity.
Getting scientific applications to scale across Titan's 300,000 compute cores means there will be bugs. Finding those bugs is where Allinea DDT comes in.
The eighth version of Mathematica was released last month, the latest in Wolfram Research's 22-year-old computational software platform. Although the tool is a relative newcomer to the high performance computing world, a raft of new capabilities have been added over the last several years that are aimed directly at the performance crowd. Mathematica 8 builds on those capabilities and adds some new ones that make it a serious contender for HPC applications.
Rogue Wave Software has acquired HPC toolmaker Acumen AB, a Swedish company that makes performance optimization tools for multithreaded applications. Acumem brought its first products to market in 2008, based on technology developed by Erik Hagersten and his research team at Uppsala University. Acumem's product set and engineering group will be retained, along with the company's office in Uppsala, Sweden.

I don't know about "a strike for oil independence". At best it is a step in that direction but we're going down a very long road. And mentioning the Leaf in the same sentence as Tesla is a stretch. Tesla gets much closer to reducing the distance anxiety of EVs - at a price. But it also doesn't eliminate it. Of course, this also depends on where the electricity is coming from. If oil independence equates with coal and/or nuclear dependence, that needs to be factored in.
I keep seeing the price of the Model S being brought up as a negative. It's my opinion the vehicle is priced perfectly against the competition. The car isn't just an alternative to the Prius or the Leaf. This thing is actually something people will WANT to drive. It just so happens to be an EV. The center of gravity is about the same as my Corvette, it makes around the same amount of power, and seats five adults with two kids. It's far more aesthetically pleasing than that awful Porsche Panamera, performs beyond the level of an M5, and costs nothing for fuel. The interior might be par, but even that has it's unique positive qualities like the 17" touch screen. My $.02. I'm rooting for these guys to pull it off.
On top of that, How many of you have a gas pump at your house? My goal is to have solar power to create electricity to charge my future electric car, be it Tesla or what ever. Besides, my earnings from my Tesla(TSLA) and Byddf stocks can pay for my future electric car, too!
It's great to see those positive comments on EV's and especially Tesla. It could have happened much sooner if the "oil money" execs had not followed their natural greedy instincts, instead of thinking and looking beyond the "me/now" syndrome. Ya' know, it might even be good for this planet we live on. (What a concept)!
Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has a degree in business. He also got a minor in basic physics, but failed to advance into graduate school, dropping out after 2 days to develop internet companies that led to Paypal and other internet service type companies, in the manner of Mark Zuckerberg, but cashing out in the internet bubble stock rage. With all that money, he funded and co-founded Space-X and Tesla, and got rid of the rival co-founders, also in the manner of Zuckerberg. Lawsuits and all.

|Does HC underrepresent vegfriendly venues? Health food store - We will add it just as soon as possible. I found a Thai restaurant in Folsom, CA yesterday with a separate vegan-friendly dinner menu with over 30 items, and about 15 items on a separate veg lunch menu. I think it's important to have this restaurant to put Folsom on the map, otherwise vegans traveling thru here have zero options. But I ran into the below policy. Folsom is a mainstream city that does not have any pure vegetarian restaurants, nor health food stores (other than ones selling only vitamins), nor farmers' markets that I know of. A vegan traveling thru Folsom might love to know about this restaurant, but I can't seem to get it listed b/c of the policy below, which I think does a disservice to travelers. I think that when one does a search for "100% vegetarian restaurants" for a particular city, they should simply get a "no match found" message. Or a "no match found, but this city has at least one listing for a veg-friendly restaurant." The policy: "Also note regarding Veg-friendly but Not 100% Vegetarian: In order to add a new US city to the HappyCow website, there needs to be a pure vegetarian restaurant OR a health food store in that city also, in order for us to add veg-friendly/not 100% veg places. Otherwise, when a visitors chooses the "Show 100% vegetarian only" default, the newly created city will not show, and the website will lead the visitor to an ERROR page ("this page does not exist... there are no vegetarian restaurants in this city")."

|Site Request: Countries by veg*n density I know that HappyCow has a list of the top-rated veg*n restaurants in the world, but I think it would be interesting to see a list of countries/provinces/etc. ranked by veg*n density. Here's what I know: * HappyCow has a list of veg*n restaurants * It shouldn't be too hard to find the area of a country/province/state/etc. * So, you could create a feature that allows you to see a list of countries/provinces/states, etc. sorted by veg*n restaurants/km^2. I feel like this would not just be cool, but could help people who want to travel somewhere, but are not sure where. They can look at that list, and then see where has the most/least options per km^2. Post Date: 08/05/16, Replies: 3
|Site Suggestion: Taiwan is not an SAR While searching for Hong Kong, I just discovered Taiwan is listed under the heading, "Special Administrative Regions". This is totally incorrect. While the status of Taiwan may be disputed, it has never been claimed to be one of China's Special Administrative Regions (SAR) - of course not by Taiwan, but also not by PRC. The webpage of PRC's Department of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs states that it: "develops diplomatic policies concerning the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), Macao SAR and Taiwan" (www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/wjb_663304/zzjg_663340/gats_665294/) Note that it does not use Taiwan SAR. Suggestion: Remove Taiwan from that section. Not only is it propagating incorrect info, it can be viewed as a gesture by Happy Cow that is offensive (imposing its own resolution of the dispute), terribly ignorant of the area it is discussing, and misleading to readers. Taiwan is already listed under Asia. If the purpose is to provide a link for people searching for Taiwan under China, then simply label it as such, for example: "Looking for Taiwan (R.O.C)? Click here". That way Happy Cow does not appear to be partisan in the dispute. Post Date: 07/31/16, Replies: 2

|Listings for transport operators Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to add a train/plane/ship company on HappyCow? SJ, the Swedish state railways, now have vegan breakfasts and hot lunches and dinners in their buffets, and these can be ordered in advance when buying the ticket in advance to guarantee there will be enough in stock. The German national rail company has also advertised recently that they are introducing a vegan menu. I thought this could be useful for international travellers, but wasn't sure how to add this to HappyCow. What do you think? :) Best wishes, Amy1274 Post Date: 01/14/16, Replies: 1
|Reviews without a Rating Hi everyone, We've had many requests to allow members to rate a listing without adding a review. In our discussions so far it seems like a bad idea since there is no accountability, and could easily hurt a restaurant's business without offering any feedback to owners who care to improve. Would be great to get your ideas / suggestions regarding this as well here in this thread. Thanks, Eric Post Date: 09/16/15, Replies: 2
|suggestions - ability to enlarge and zoom into photos (especially handy when someone has uploaded a photo of a menu, namecard or map). some websites do it by showing the enlarged version on a pop-up window. - ability to edit/delete photos after posting - mistakes do happen, some of which are hardly worth troubling the happycow team (eg typos, having uploaded a wrong photo, or wanting to upload a better photo of a similar dish on a second visit) - leaving a review without a rating. one instance where i see this happening is for a stall that i would not patronise because of personal preference but can still observe neutrally, e.g. a sidewalk stall that sells mainly gluten dishes.

I believe he is purposly throwing away 18 + year old workers & only keeping the one's that accept the rate of 10 bucks per hour . Long story short ,don't fall for nice owners of a business they probably also only go for the cheap staff even if their staff never mention pay .Even if their vegg friendly don't fall for the nicest bosses.

The last time Buffalo's defensive line coach was lining up on Sundays in the NFL he was doing so alongside the best pass rusher on Buffalo's roster. Anthony Weaver spent the last three seasons of his NFL career in Houston with the Texans where he was a teammate and linemate of Mario Williams. Fast forward five years and Weaver will now be in charge of coaching him. One might assume that the dynamic of the relationship would need to change considerably, but Weaver isn't concerned about the new coach-player relationship with his former teammate...

William Hung may have been rejected from American Idol, but he found someone who gave him the only "yes" he'll ever need. The former singer, whose season 3 audition of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" made him one of the Internet's first viral stars, got married on June 17 in Alhambra, California, RumorFix reports. Hung, 31, is now an administrative assistant for the L.A. County Department of Public Health. In 2004, the then 20-year-old UC-Berkeley student sang what Simon Cowell believed to be a tone-deaf version of Martin's song."You can't sing, you can't dance, so what do you want me to say?" a stunned Cowell said after Hung's rendition."I already gave my best, and I have no regrets at all," he replied at the time.Despite Cowell's criticism, he went on to record three albums following his spirited audition, which boasted sales of 200K, 35K, and 7K units respectively.
1) YOKO ONO - She yells and screams in her songs quite hoarsely. She sounds like a badly drunk karaoke singer in pubs.
2) WILLIAM HUNG- Was told on national TV that he couldn't sing, but that didn't stop him from recording three albums to make your ears bleed, or she bangs she bangs your head against the wall.
3) MILEY CYRUS- She tries to sing like those in the likes of Whitney Houston and Jennifer Hudson, but she fails so badly. She cannot hit those high notes. She should stick with acting.
4) REBECCA BLACK- She is still very plain and amateur. Managed to do the impossible...make everyone hate Fridays. Nice job.
5) JUSTIN BEIBER- He can't hit high notes. For someone to be as famous as him, he should be a terrific singer. When he sings, it's like he is forcing his way throughout his song. Now, as his voice is breaking, his voice is getting hoarse and dull.
6) TINY TIM- Never was a singer. Just a bad occasional act on TV shows like "Laugh-In" and the "The Tonight Show." Proof that we must've been high as hell to let him get that far. Just on this list to prove a point.
7) LOU REED- While we all can appreciate his influence in the rock world, let's face it. He talked songs instead of singing them.
8) BRITNEY SPEARS- While fun to look at, we have to say that her voice is very bad. It's squeaky, quiet and cracky. She just doesn't sing loud enough. She is is even worse live.
9) KE$HA- Her voice is disgustingly horrible. She sounds like a robot. She is way too autotuned. Her live voice is inexcusable.
10) KATY PERRY- Her voice is very hoarse and breathy/raspy. When she is not raspy, she is fully on screaming.

House Bill:
HB 722 (original)
HB722 (amended)
[Editor's Note: An amendment to the bill took away the provision to allow for manufacturers to operate in Georgia and limited the legality to CBD oil that is less than 5% THC. The new bill would not have made Georgia a legal medical marijuana state, but rather only add more approved conditions, such as autism, HIV or AIDS, and PTSD, to the CBD law passed and signed last year.
Rep. Peake on Mar. 16, 2016 added his new list of conditions to a different bill after his bill stalled in the Senate, but this page does not track CBD-only legislation.]
[Editor's Note: Kansas' 2015 legislation carried over for consideration in 2016.]
The Louisiana state legislature passed a law in 2015 that failed to legalize medical marijuana as intended because the bill said doctors could "prescribe" marijuana, which is against federal law. SB 271, gives doctors the ability to "recommend" medical marijuana for patients with cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, cachexia or wasting syndrome, seizure disorders, epilepsy, spasticity, severe muscle spasms, Crohn's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
The legislation gives Southern University and Louisiana State University until Sep. 1, 2016 to exercise a "right of first refusal" to be licensed as the state's marijuana production facility. If they pass, then the private sector will have the right to apply to grow marijuana. Any marijuana produced must have "the lowest acceptable levels [of THC] available through scientifically accepted methods." The law bans inhalation and vaping, and whole plant marijuana.
Senate concurred with House amendments 29-7 and signed by Speaker of the House on May 25, 2016
Signed into law by Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) on June 2, 2016
[Editor's Note: The final version of the bill that was passed and signed into law did not contain provisions to protect pharmacies or growers. Also, the draft regulations' requirement that doctors specify dosage and amounts of medical marijuana could create legal issues for physicians. As a result, Louisiana is not considered a legal medical marijuana state at this time. This may change depending on how the situation develops in the state.]
Bill carried over to 2016 on Jan. 6, 2016; Designated by Sen. Garrett as a priority bill on Feb. 19, 2016; Amended filed by Sen. Sara Howard (D) on Mar. 16, 2016; Failed a cloture vote on Apr. 5, 2016; Indefinitely postponed (Apr. 20, 2016)
Introduced by Rep. Stephen Huffman (R) on Apr. 14, 2016; Referred to Select Committee on Medical Marijuana on Apr. 19, 2016; Passed the House by a vote of 71-26 and sent to Senate on May 10, 2016
Referred to Senate Committee on Government Oversight and Reform on May 11, 2016;
Passed the Senate by a vote of 18-15 on May 25, 2016
House concurred in Senate amendments by a vote of 67-29 on May 25, 2016
Signed into law by Gov. John Kasich (R) on June 8, 2016, making Ohio the 25th state to legalize medical marijuana.
Referred to House Committee on Health on May 14, 2015; re-referred to Rules Committee on June 26, 2015; House Rules Committee roll-call voted 25-8, bill reported as committed and received first consideration on Nov. 18, 2015; Laid on table and removed from table on Dec. 13, 2015; Laid on table and removed from table on Jan. 25, 2016; Second consideration with amendments and re-referred to Appropriations Committee on Mar. 15, 2016; Third consideration and final passage by a vote of 149-2 and sent to Senate on Mar. 16, 2016
Referred to Senate Ruled and Executive Nominations Committee on Mar. 16, 2016; Senate voted 42-7 to pass on Apr. 12, 2016
House concurred with amendments and voted 149-46 to pass; bill sent to governor on Apr. 13, 2016
Signed into law by Gov. Tom Wolf (D) on Apr. 17, 2016, making Pennsylvania the 24th state to legalize medical marijuana.
[Editor's Note: The bill carried over to 2016 because it is part of the 2015-2016 legislative session.]
[Editor's Note: South Carolina has a two-year legislative session so the legislation carried over from 2015 for consideration in 2016.]
'Cannabis product' means a product that: (i) is intended for human ingestion; and (ii) contains cannabis or extracted cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol; and (iii) is prepared in a medical dosage form."
House received from Senate and first reading on Feb. 25, 2016; Motion to Recommend failed in House Health and Human Services Committee by a vote of 4-8 on Mar. 8, 2016; Senate received from House and sent to Senate File for bills not passed (Mar. 10, 2016)
[Editor's Note: This bill as amended would not allow smokable forms of marijuana but instead allows for extracts with no THC limits.]

Note: Ballot initiatives will only be added once a measure has been officially added to a state ballot. This page tracks legislation that would legalize use of the whole marijuana plant for medical purposes. Legislation that would limit use to the nonpsychoactive cannabis extract called cannabidiol (CBD) is not included on this list. States whose legalization laws would require physicians to "prescribe" marijuana (an illegal act under federal law) as opposed to "recommend" marijuana (considered protected free speech between doctor and patient) are not included on this list either.

The nightly rate is base on $396 monthly with our Good Sam Discount. A very nice park with very nice management.
Very clean and quiet. Our gravel site was open, spacious and included a picnic table. Everyone we met was friendly. We stayed here from November - March. - GzrGldGeo
Oct 2015 - $35.00
Ok, this is one strange place. We made a reservation 2 days ahead, we were told the husband would be in the office all day, but when we arrived after a long day's drive, the office was closed (early afternoon). We wandered around, and a Rottweiler ran out snarling and growling at the end of his leash. 2 humans followed, and we said we'd made a reservation, and they said they were asst. mgrs., and they'd check us in, but they hadn't been told anyone was arriving. So, we got a spot for overnite, which was fine. Several campers had spent several weeks here, and they were friendly and informative. Nobody ever showed up in the office. There is a nice mini-golf course here, and two picnic/horseshoes/dog walking grassy spots at each end. Near the mini-golf was the snarling Rottie again, which was really scary, since we have a gentle dog on a leash. It really bothered me, because leashes can't be guaranteed. The campground itself was ok, but the lack of keeping track of reservations, and the dangerous dog made me feel like I wouldn't want to camp here again. Nice views, fairly good spots, other amenities, but IMO dangerous, threatening dogs should not be allowed in campgrounds, even when they belong to helpful asst. managers. And reservations should always be followed--that too is dangerous if you drive to the limit of your abilities, and then don't have a place to camp. - LeeL

As a full time RVer, stayed at this park for the month of October, hated to leave, but need to visit family in other areas of country. Managers were extremely helpful and friendly, very clean facilities, quiet and peaceful, well maintained, will return for another long visit next year. - Bob and Lucy

Stayed one night on our route 17 South from Flagstaff to Tucson. Check in was fast and Friendly!! 50 amp power was stable, pull through site was plenty long for our 42' RV plus towed vehicle. No cable, but there are so many strong over the air signals, it didn't matter. WiFi was reliable. We would definitely stop by here next time we travel I-17. - DawnsDad
Jul 2016 - $26.00
Good for an overnight stop along I17. Friendly check in, well placed utilities and strong Wifi. Far enough from the freeway to have little traffic noise. The diner had pretty good food and a nice atmosphere. - housecar
Jul 2015 - $15.00
This park is nice at very convenient for 1 or 2 nights if travelling the I-17. Very clean and tidy. There are only a few sites but #9&10 are 70 foot pull thrus. Cell service was good and the free Wifi was fast for an RV park. Diner was very good. Rate is PA rate. - TedandJan

This park is not designed for big rigs. The services all worked well, it has cement patios and wide sites. However the roads are not very wide. It is very difficult to back in to the sites with a big rig over 34 feet long. The park is mainly long term. When making the reservations, informed that big rigs were fine. Upon arrival, it turned out this was not the case. We will not return to this park. - JDR
Oct 2015 - $45.00
Most sites are back in, and somewhat close to each other. A large percentage of residents arrive every winter and seem to know each other. All of them very nice. You will be invited to campfire chats, and all sorts of get togethers.There is a large rec center, providing games, and a very clean laundry room featuring 3 washers and 3 dryers, standard size. The pool and spa are very well maintained. Staff is always on site and very helpful. They also have RV repair, propane, and RV wash, outside services come in the park to assist guests. Only possible downside is if you stay a month or more your electric bill seems a bit costly. All in all park is safe clean and fun. - Helga2007
Apr 2015 - $45.00
The nicest RV park. Well run, clean, and very friendly. Great pool and hot tub. Fun activities and social atmosphere. The spots are also lined with lemon and orange trees, which were free to pick. A very nice treat!
Would be a 10/10 if they had more pull-through spots. - 5thWheelAroundTheCountry

It is a nice little park, old but very friendly hosts. There are a lot of full time residents but we had no problem getting an overnight site. They don't have amenities such as Wi-Fi or TV but MUCH cheaper than the other two RV Campgrounds in town. For about half the cost I was willing to give up Wi-Fi and TV. We would stay here again when going through the area. - Rick Lechner

This is our second stay here. The sites and roads are gravel. Not very level. You better have some blocks for your jacks or tires. A few trees here and there. The dog run is a joke. The owner has a goat pinned up right next to it, and lets it run loose in the mornings. (Leash rules don't apply here I guess.) We had to complain about a permanent person letting their dogs run loose. I hate complaining. Parts and pieces for the park laying all over, including in the store. Could be a decent park, but not now. Fuel and grocery prices are crazy high in Black Canyon City and Rock Springs! Overall I guess this park served its purpose, as we had people to visit close by. We did use the laundry, which was ok. Good luck getting them to answer the phone for reservations. The owner needs to work on being friendly. As it stands, I cannot recommend it. - DaneDad76
Mar 2016 - $43.00
This place was a huge disappointment. It could hardly be described as a "park". There is much disrepair everywhere, garbage, very long term "campers". In general, if this is the standard by which KOA operates, we'll never stay at KOA again. We only stayed one night and had we not had a reservation which would have lost us our $$, we would have driven on. - Vollbear
Oct 2015 - $48.00
This KOA shows some wear, but the staff is super nice and helpful. The amenities all function, but could use a bit of sprucing up. It appears there are a few 'long term' tenants, but everyone stayed to themselves. We stayed 1 night in a cabin (we've stayed here once before) that the staff had cooled off prior to our arrival. There is now a small tv in each cabin and the Wi-Fi seemed strong enough. If you like a place out in the desert to relax for the evening, this fills the bill. - p51captain

The view of the surrounding foothills was outstanding. The site was spacious with a brick patio and picnic table and each site separated by a pretty, white privacy fence with lattice work on top. Lots of trees for shade. There is a bathroom at the office. Otherwise, only one other bathhouse in the park with two stalls and one shower (women) and one stall, one urinal and one shower (men).
We usually search out RV parks that have pickleball courts. This park has 2 but don't be fooled. There is a boatload of full-timers in this park and they have pretty much commandeered the courts. We were told bluntly that we can't play on this day and/or we can't play at these times. The pickleball gods (even non-residents) hog the courts in the early (cooler) hours and you are not asked to play. You can hang your paddle on the queue board all day long but it doesn't mean anything between particular times. You can have the courts later, in the 100+F heat, if you wish. They hold events, "socials (tournaments)," and "ladder day," etc. and they are open only to the regulars. Fortunately for us, there were a couple of really nice guys who stayed around later to play a few games with us in the heat of midday. - Linda dlm

It was a pleasure to stay at the park. The office people were friendly, helpful etc. The only draw back was the Wi-fi; you had to go to a separate building to get it. This is the first park we have been to where there was no Wifi at your site. When we went up just to receive and send email, there were people that were there almost all day, watching movies on their laptop and the other playing games. To me and others in the park felt the same way, VERY INCONSIDERATE of others. The sites were nice and big. Will go back again. - Nanaof6

Upon arrival I talked to the host to decide which sites were available&which could fit our 33ft 5th wheel. Many of the spots are for smaller rigs. We chose a spot based on her recommendation, set up only to find out it was a double spot so we had to pay double. Site #19. Pull through. Covered pavilion with 2 concrete picnic tables & a metal ring firepit. Only 1 neighbor. Vault toilets, potable water fill, dumpster, trailhead to the lake all right across the street. We decided to back out instead of driving the tight loop around to exit. The campground was very quiet. Close to lots of shopping but feels like you're miles away. - Ontheroamagain

Good dry camp close enough to the town of Prescott to enjoy all its amenities. Fully paved roads and pads; concrete picnic tables; raked crushed gravel area for tenting or canopy; metal fire ring - although covered when we were there due to fire restrictions; water spigot near each camp area; walked to the restaurant/store at the other end of the lake and it was nothing special - we had desserts which were bland and gave us second thoughts about returning for any other meals. Like all government campgrounds we've been to, plenty of space between sites. Only comment is not the campground's fault - dog droppings all along the interior roadsides. What are people thinking? - pyrthkr

For Memorial day we decided to take the family on an overdue camping trip to Lynx Lake Campground. I grew up in and around the Dewey area but I have not been back in probably over 20 years. I am absolutely amazed how much this place has changed! And for the better. Lucky for us, we planned our trip ahead of time and made a reservation online so we were guaranteed a good camp site. We left Phoenix late Friday morning in 100+ weather and arrived in Prescott about 2 hours later to a very pleasant 75 degrees. We passed Costco and headed south on Walker towards the beautiful tall pines before finally arriving at the Lynx Campground. Upon arrival we talked to the friendly camp hosts who directed us to our secluded campsite and talked to us about gold panning places and then provided us with useful maps and information about the area. There was a fire ban in effect when we visited and no campfires were permitted. We didn't care for that very much but we understand the need to have active banning of fires. The campground is very well taken care of and the restrooms are the cleanest we have seen anywhere. Nights were very quiet and peaceful. Quiet hours are enforced between 10pm and 6AM and despite the campground being full on a busy holiday weekend everyone seemed respectful of one another. There are no hookups available at Lynx but there is potable water spigots are available in each of the 8 loops. We were informed that Lynx is considered a remote camp facility and on a limited water system so make sure you fill up your RV or trailer with water before arriving or you might be disappointed. There are no dump stations but there are several free public dump stations close by. Overall we had an awesome trip and we are already making plans to re-visit Lynx again soon. - Tekwoman

Internal roads and sites are gravel, site was not very level and are not overly spacious, facilities worked well, site was satellite friendly. Staff were very friendly and helpful, park WiFi worked well, T-Mobile cell service was OK, not 4G. Most of the residents are long term and friendly, but their sites are pretty cluttered. Reservations are recommended. The park was quiet. Tax is no longer included in the price. We would stay here again as it is central to the attractions and no where near as crazy as Sedona. - KDSpree
May 2012 - $30.00
A great inexpensive place to park a rig to visit all the fabulous scenery within an hours drive, i.e., the red rocks, Sedona, Jerome, the Verde Valley RR, etc. Great people, clean facility, right off the Interstate. Reservations made for next year, too much to see in the area to get it all this year. Good luck to the friendly staff, they've earned it. - george447

This was our first time in this park. I do realize that the park was just sold, and they do have big plans to upgrade the park. We will stay here again.

First time, ROD membership. We paid $5.00 per night for 50amp. Large, clean, level backin full hookup site. Trees, & good rooftop satellite reception. Verizon service, LTE. Park was pretty empty, 95-100* temps could be why! Check in was quick, effortless & friendly. Additional parking was available for our towed trailer. Park was clean & safe feeling. So much to do in this area! - Followin the Sun

High Water Sound four-arm turntable with multiple music personalities
Since vinyl purists are such, well, purists, it comes as no surprise that they favor different needle cartridges depending on the type of music they're listening to. No problem if you only play, say, jazz, but if you're also partial to some reggae, string quartet and classic ABBA, that's a whole lot of switching and tweaking each time. New York audio pros High Water Sound may have the answer: a modified TW-Acoustic Raven AC turntable with four separate, independent arms and cartridges.

Business analysts for computer software/hardware systems determine a business's needs relating to technology, which is done in an objective manner to determine the best technology for the fit. They may also interpret diagrams and other technical drawings and must be familiar with various types of hardware and software.Read More...
These analysts may be limited by budgets, so it's important to keep costs low while maintaining optimal quality, and they may also be present in the installation process. When new technology is installed, these analysts should test the system to ensure it will work smoothly even when being used heavily. After software and hardware is installed, they may provide technical support and training to users of the new technology in case of difficulties. These business analysts may work on teams with other business analysts, quality assurance testers, and technical development employees, so strong communication skills are also important in this position.
Communication with outside vendors and clients is often necessary, and it's important to stay up-to-date with trends in the field to provide the best technology possible. These business analysts may work directly for companies or agencies which provide technology consultation services, and a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field is often a minimum requirement for this position.

Computer Systems Business Analysts do not often transition into IT Senior Project Manager roles. The role averages $111K per year. It is quite typical for Computer Systems Business Analysts to transition into roles as Senior Business Analysts or Information Technology Project Managers, where reported median earnings are $20K and $21K higher per year.
Survey results imply that Computer Systems Business Analysts deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, skills in UNIX, HTML, Requirements Analysis, and Business Analysis are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 4 percent and 6 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include Data Analysis, Oracle, and Windows NT / 2000 / XP Networking. It is often found that people who know Microsoft Excel are also skilled in Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Computer Systems Business Analysts with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $59K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $71K on average — a distinctly larger sum. On average, Computer Systems Business Analysts make $77K following one to two decades on the job. More than 20 years of experience mean a somewhat bigger median paycheck of $78K, but it's not much more than what less experienced people make.
