2012 China Tours > The Middle Kingdom > Tour Itinerary
12 Day The Middle Kingdom (2012)
Tour Itinerary
Your exotic journey to China begins as you board China's national airline, Air China non-stop flight bound for Beijing. En route, cross the International Dateline and lose a day. You'll recover this day on your return trip. (IM)
Board Air China non-stop flight to Beijing
Air China Flight Schedule
Arrive in Beijing in the late afternoon. Meet your local representative and transfer to your hotel in the center of Beijing. Your hotel is conveniently located near the Chang An Avenue, along which are Beijing's major shopping malls, upscale restaurants, and tourist attractions. Relax and enjoy the evening in Chinas historic and vibrant capital city. Marriott Beijing City Wall
Bird Nest, the main venue of 2008 Summer Olympics
After a hearty breakfast and a tour briefing, you visit the Tiananmen Square. At 100 acres, it is the world's largest public square, flanked by an assortment of historical buildings, huge museums and Communist monuments, including Maos Mausoleum. One visitor has written, "An army could be massed, and all the kites in the world could fly." You roam the Square; and walk through the Gate of Heavenly Peace, under the famed portrait of Chairman Mao, to enter the Forbidden City, the symbolic center of the Chinese universe and a lasing monument of dynastic China, from which 24 emperors of the Ming and the Qing Dynasties ruled the Middle Kingdom for nearly 500 years (1420-1911).
Last Emperor's "Forbidden City"
Visit old Beijing's Hutong on pedi-cabs
Completed in 1420, the Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the world's largest palace complex and China's most magnificent imperial architecture, consisting of many buildings with 9,999 rooms, on a 250-acre compound, protected by a 20-foot-wide moat and a 32-foot-high wall. Now known as the Palace Museum, the Forbidden City was the exclusive domain of the imperial court and dignitaries where outside visitors were forbidden for 5 centuries. Here you will explore the imperial treasures in the grand palaces and pavilions, exquisite courtyards and gardens in what was once the residence of China's rulers.
Afterwards, join our Culture InSites™ Program for a rickshaw ride along Old Beijing's Hutongs (narrow ancient alleys) to discover the sights and sounds of local Beijing life in these traditional Chinese neighborhoods. See the locals as they go about their daily activities; and tour the maze-like alleyways and courtyard houses before its gone forever. Highlights include visits to a traditional courtyard home, to a local market, and a leisure walk along the "Lotus Lane" lined with bars, restaurants and tea houses. This unique tour features a delicious lunch served at a local family home with a Chinese dumpling-making demonstration.
Return to your hotel for some free time in the afternoon. In the evening, we are gathering for a welcome dinner of a specially prepared meal of Beijing Duck, cooked to crispy perfection. (B,L,SD)
A memorable day awaits with an excursion to the Sacred Way of Ming Tombs and the Great Wall of China at the less-visited Mutianyu section.
The "Sacred Way" of Ming Tombs
The Great Wall of China at Mutianyu section
After breakfast, you take a drive to the northwest of Beijing to visit the Sacred Way of Ming Tombs, regarded as China's finest example of imperial tomb architecture. Situated in a peaceful valley, the site was chosen by the Ming emperors as their burial place for its auspicious Fengshui alignment — a ridge of mountains to the north cradles the tombs on three sides, opening to the south and protecting the dead from the evil spirits carried on the north wind. Here you will walk along the elegant Sacred Way that leads to the tombs. Beginning with a grand marble gateway more than 400 years old, the long avenue is lined with 36 massive stone sculptures of officials, lions, elephants, camels and mythical beasts.
After lunch at a local restaurant, you take a scenic drive through the countryside and mountains to reach Chinas most renowned monument-the Great Wall. Since the Great Wall is the single greatest attraction of China travel, we take you to the less-visited and more "original" Mutianyu section and try to avoid other sections which are the most accessible and consequently the most crowded.
The wall was begun in the 5th century BC to keep out foreign invaders. Construction continued for centuries, eventually linking up the walls of the former independent kingdoms. The Great Wall meanders through Chinas northern mountain ranges from the Yellow Sea to the Gobi Desert — a distance of over 3500 miles! Chairman Mao once said "You havent walked on the Wall, you havent been a good Chinese".
And today, youll not only visit the Great Wall, but experience it in more ways than one — Learning some of the fascinating history and legend of this engineering marvel, riding a gondola up to the highest point for panoramic views of this ancient edifice, exploring its impressive watchtowers, ramparts, carriageways at your own pace, or, hoping on a toboggan for an exciting ride down the curvy path...today is a highlight of your China vacation. (B,L,D)
In the morning, you visit the Temple of Heaven, the largest temple complexes in China and a paradigm of Chinese architectural balance and symbolism. One key element in China's architectural genius was the blending of the monumental with the delicate, and the Temple of Heaven is perhaps the finest expression of this mixing of near opposite.
"Hall of Supreme Harmony", Temple of Heaven
The "Summer Palace" for Empress Dowager Cixi
During each winter solstice, the Ming and Qing emperors would perform rites and make sacrifices to Heaven praying for good harvest for their empire. The most striking edifice is the "Hall of Prayer of Good Harvests", which according to the emperors Fengshui masters, is the exact point where heaven and Earth met. Built in 1420 (without the use of a single nail), this masterpiece of Ming architecture, features triple eaves, dramatically carved marble balustrades, and gorgeous glazed azure roof that symbolizes the color of heaven. This 120-foot-high structure is fixed by four inner pillars represent the seasons, and two sets of 12 columns denote the months and the traditional Chinese division of a day.
Time permits, you take a photo stop at the "Bird Nest" and visit the exterior portion of this huge complex — the main stadium of 2008 Beijing Olympics. In the afternoon, you tour the idyllic Summer Palace, once the summer retreat and playground for the imperial family and royal court during the late Qing Dynasty. Considered the finest Chinese imperial garden, the Summer Palace spans over 700 acres with breathtaking views, temples, pavilions, palaces and halls including the lavishly painted "Long Corridor". It is most associated, however, with the Empress Dowager Cixi who paid for the extravagant Marble Boat with funds meant for the modernization of the Imperial Navy. Weather permitting you can take a Dragon boat ride across the picturesque Kunming Lake.
Later, transfer to the airport for a flight to Xian to experience the historical side of your China trip. Located in the Yellow River Basin in China's heartland, Xian is one of the birthplaces of civilization. It has seen 3,100 years of development and 11 dynasties, giving it equal fame with Athens, Rome and Cairo as one of the four major ancient civilization capitals. Xian reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty at 10th century with a population of one million and is rich with cultural and historical significances. Xian Grand Noble Hotel (B,L,IM)
Today's excursion will take you to modern China's greatest archaeological discovery — The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses, which silently guarded the tomb of China's First Emperor for over 2,200 years. In 1974, a local farmer uncovered the first of three massive earth and timber vaults, while digging a well. The extensive excavation, still in progress, has yielded over 6000 life-sized terra cotta warriors, each individually sculpted, with the physical characteristics of the humans they were modeled after. Archers, infantrymen, horses and bronze chariots have also been unearthed. A Circle Vision documentary is available on site. Lunch at a local restaurant and see a noodle making demonstration. In the afternoon, you tour the Wild Goose Pagoda, a Tang Dynasty landmark. This seven-story pagoda was initially constructed in 652 AD to house the Buddhist sutras brought back from India by the monk, Xuan Zang, who later translated them into Chinese. His pilgrimage to India is immortalized in the Chinese classic — The Journey to the West.
The Wild Goose Pagoda, a Tang Dynasty landmark
Tang Dynasty stage show
Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), traditionally regarded as the golden age of China, was a time of patricians and intellectuals, Buddhist monks and Taoist priests, poetry and music, song and dance — a period of peace and exceptional creativity lasting 300 years. This evening, you attend a feast of culinary and cultural delights with a special Dumpling (dim sum) banquet followed by a fascinating Tang Dynasty stage show. Indulge yourself in this remarkable show and reinvent your China dream with a travel back in time to the world of China's Golden Age, then come back to the present with a greater understanding of this amazing time. (B,L,SD)
After breakfast, you fly to Hangzhou, one of China's premier tourist destinations. An old Chinese saying states, "In heaven above there is Paradise, on earth there is Suzhou and Hangzhou". Hangzhou and its West Lake have been the inspiration for poets and artists for centuries. Besides silk, the region is also a major producer of tea. Renowned in medieval China as an earthly paradise, Hangzhou became the splendid capital of China of the Southern Song dynasty between 1138 and 1279. The capital flourished and its glories were extolled by Marco Polo, who visited Hangzhou at the height of its prosperity and described it as "the city of Heaven, the most magnificent in all the world".
Cruise on the "West Lake"
After lunch, take a cruise on the picturesque West Lake, which is said to be created from a pearl dropped by a phoenix and a dragon, and proclaimed by the Chinese "the landscape composed by a painter". Stroll along the lake's causeways and immerse yourself in its beauty. You also visit the famed "Broken Bridge" to marvel at the Golden Fishes. No tour to Hangzhou is complete without going to the world renowned Dragon Well Tea Plantation, where the legendary green tea is picked and processed by hand. The first picked tea leaves of the new harvest were once reserved solely for the Emperor and transported to him via the Grand Canal. You will learn about the harvesting, as well as the proper way to brew this healthful beverage. The Chinese Tea Ceremony will be demonstrated. Sample the freshness of the tea. Appreciate its "green color, smooth appearance, fragrant aroma and sweet taste". West Lake Golden Plaza (B,L,D)
In the morning you tour the "Old Street" with Ming & Qing houses and stone cobbled lanes, where you visit the Chinese Herb Museum, a rare opportunity to know China traditional herb and medication. After lunch, you travel by motor-coach to Suzhou, which is often referred, by the Chinese, as the "Venice of the East". Suzhou is a 2,500-year-old city renowned the world over for its traditional gardens, ancient canals and silk production. In 1997 Suzhou's classic garden was designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Pavilion of Watching the Moon, Master of Net Garden
The construction of the Grand Canal in the 7th century created a means whereby silk, the prized commodity from this region could be transported to the Northern capital, Beijing, a distance of over 600 miles. With prosperity came prestige as merchants and artisans plied their trade. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Suzhou flourished as a place of refinement, drawing an influx of scholars and merchants, who built themselves numerous elegant gardens.
The Chinese garden developed as a synthesis of two concepts linked in Taoist philosophy — scenery and serenity: the contemplation of nature in isolated meditation led to enlightenment. Therefore, the educated and wealthy built natural-looking retreats for themselves with an urban environment. The garden creates poetic and painterly concepts, and aims to improve on nature in creating a picture that looks natural but is in fact entirely artificial. For this the Chinese garden designer used four main elements: rocks, water, plants, and architecture.
In the afternoon, you visit the Garden of the Master of Fishing Nets, and experience all of the elements of a classical Chinese garden. It is said that the Master of the Nets Garden was named after one of its owners — a retired official who wished to become an accomplished fisherman. Dating to 1140, it is considered by many, the finest of all Suzhou's gardens. Although exceptional small, it succeeds, with great subtlety, in introducing every element considered crucial to the classical Chinese garden. It includes a central lake, discreet connecting corridors, pavilions with miniature courtyards, screens, delicate latticework, and above all, points which "frame a view", as if looking at a perfectly balanced photograph. The best known building is the "Pavilion for Watching the Moon", from where the moon can be viewed in a mirror, in the water, and in the sky. Your hotel is centrally located in the quaint old city, within walking distance of art studios, silk shops, tea houses and handicraft stores. Garden Hotel Suzhou (B,L,D)
In the morning, you take a cruise on the Grand Canal to view the life along China's golden waterway in its heydays. Later, you tour the Silk Spinning Mill, where you will learn how silk is created from the mulberry-munching silkworms to produce thread and fine cloth. Marco Polo once reported that so much precious silk was produced in Suzhou that every citizen was clothed in it.
Suzhous gardens and canals
Evening walk on the waterfront Bund
Afterwards, you travel by motor coach to Shanghai, China's vibrant financial and artistic center. Shanghai, literally means "above the sea", is China's largest and most dynamic city, with a population of 18 million. In the 13th century it became a minor county seat and so it remained until the mid-19th century when British commercial ambitions led to war with China. The ensuing Treaty of Nanking allowed the British to trade freely from certain ports including Shanghai. The city soon became an outpost of glamour, high living, and ultimately decadence. In the 1930s, Shanghai is renowned as "the Pearl of the East".
Some places are forever associated with a single landmark and in the case of Shanghai it is surely the Bund. After dinner, we take you for an evening walk along the waterfront promenade of the Bund. The Bund was at the heart of colonial shanghai, flanked on one side by the Huangpu River and on the other by the hotels, banks, offices, and clubs that were the grandiose symbols of western commercial power. See the ships and barges on the Huangpu River, en route to the sea or going upstream to the interior of China. The modernistic Oriental Pearl TV tower looms in the background redefining the skyline. Sheraton Shanghai Hongkou (B,L,D)
Begin your tour in the heart of old Shanghai at the 16th century city bazaar. This complex, with its classical architectural details, maze of walkways and reflecting pools, has been a marketplace and social center for over 200 years. In contrast, is the futurist Pudong area. Transformed from once fertile farmland, this new area is rapidly becoming the symbol of modern China with its world class hotels, international financial institutions, and commercial centers.
Shanghais bustling Yu Garden bazaar
Jinmao Tower & Pudongs new skyline
You visit to the 88th floor of the Jinmao Tower, the third tallest building in China. At 1,380 feet, it is the world's fifth tallest building, as well as home to the world's tallest hotel — the Grand Hyatt Shanghai. From its lofty platform, you enjoy a stunning view of Shanghai. Later you have a traditional Mongolian BBQ Buffet lunch. In the afternoon, you visit People's Square and tour the famed Shanghai Museum, an unique and inspiring piece of architecture, home to more than 120,000 cultural relics of ancient China, including a priceless collection of jade, bronze, ceramics, paintings, furniture, etc. After dinner, you attend an unforgettable performance of the Shanghai Acrobats.
After the performance, we drop you at the Xin Tian Di for a leisure and romantic night. Literally means "New Heaven Earth", it is Shanghai's trendiest lifestyle destination. This 2-block complex of high-end restaurants (some of Shanghai's best), bars, shops, and entertainment facilities, mostly lodged in refurbished traditional Shanghainese shikumen (stone-frame) housing, is the first phase of the Taiping Qiao Project, an urban renewal project. Busloads of domestic Chinese tourists traipse through in the evenings, Western visitors feel like they've never left home, and hip young Shanghainese flood here to enjoy the good life they feel they're due. (B,SL,D)
Today is at leisure for you to explore this magnificent city on your own.
Nanjing Road is bargain shoppers' paradise
You will be provided with a specially prepared orientation list. Stroll through the Old Shanghai bazaar, shop at Nanjing Roads emporiums, or enjoy a nostalgic evening performance by the renowned senior citizens Jazz band at the Peace Hotel. (B)
After breakfast, you board the Maglev, the world's fastest magnetic levitation train, for your trip to the Pudong International Airport. The Maglev travels at a speed of 287mph and will cover the 20 mile distance in less than 8 minutes! Board your return flight home, and arrive in U.S.A. later today. * Maglev is available for San Francisco departures only. (B)

Is that a Flyers jersey on the dugout?
A few weeks ago, I wrote about a Hockey Day promotion taking place at the Frederick Keys game. It was to feature Washington Capitals legend and Hockey Hall of Famer Rod Langway, the Caps' cheerleaders the Red Rockers and the team mascot Slapshot, who mentioned the event on Twitter. The Keys were also promoting that you could "Stick around after the game to watch the conclusion of the Caps season finale on the videoboard!"
I go to a few Keys games a year with the family (I'm a big minor league baseball fan and highly recommend it) and we headed up there this past Saturday for Hockey Day. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but we (and some other fans) were a little surprised to see the guy pictured below atop the dugout throughout the game, MCing the event in a Flyers jersey, after all the Caps related promo for the event.
I spotted a few other Keys employees wearing jerseys of other teams: one in a Penguins jersey, a second in a Flyers jersey and one in a Tampa Bay Lightning shirt. There was even one employee in an Erie Otters jersey. I guess the Keys' concept for Hockey Day was different than what the promotional information communicated with all the Caps tie-ins. The guy pictured above in the Flyers jersey, Keys Promotions Manager Brandon Apter, sent @brookslaichyear a response on Twitter, saying: "Hey man, I have to represent the team I love on Hockey Day! I did get pied in the face, wasn't that pleasing enough?"
The pie was a nice touch (as was Apter taking time to respond on Twitter), except I'm not sure he still had his Flyers jersey on at the time of the pieing—a pie right to the logo would have been fantastic!
Like I said above, it's not a big deal overall, but if someone's going to promote an event with a Caps player, the Caps mascot and the Caps cheerleaders, while also showing the Caps game on the big screen (and never saying anything about other hockey teams in the information promoting the event), then it's probably best not to have the host in the jersey of a team that Caps fans detest. Maybe go neutral with the host's jersey or promote the event differently so it doesn't come across as so Caps-themed. Something tells me that if I showed up at a minor league baseball game in the Philadelphia area in a Caps jersey for an event involving the Flyers, I'd be hit with something worse than a pie.

John Fedchock's New York Big Band at Cachaca
June 10, 2008. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: 8th street, bgo, cachaca, eclipse, epistrophy, excitement, freddy hubbard, gridlock, Jazz Alive, john fedchock, measures, monk, phrase, roy hargrove big band, trombonist, veteran, woody herman orchestra
Cachaca on West 8th Street is new. (Much on West 8th Street is new.) It's a deep, inviting, sound-lively room and the John Fedchock's Big Band took it over tonight. The band has been together 20 years with consistent personnel, but I understand it doesn't often play live. Having heard some tracks on BGO, I've been determined to get out and see them. Good idea! Trombonist and composer Fedchock is a veteran of the Woody Herman orchestra. Two of John's arrangements in the middle of the set -- of Eclipse by Freddy Hubbard and Epistrophy by Monk -- seemed to transcend the situation. Eclipse had a phrase that (to me) channeled the Woody Herman's orchestra, which I've never heard but I'm sure I heard it in that phrase. In Epistrophy there was a short stretch (a matter of measures) that sounded JUST LIKE New York gridlock. Stuck but with energy. I couldn't stop to ponder how they did that because I would have missed the next excitement. There was background writing for most of the solos, no one was left to fend for himself for long. Once again (as last week with the Roy Hargrove Big Band), the room moved. That's my report & I'm happy to deliver it. The most recent CD is Up and Running (Reservoir label).

A French winemaker says over the last 25 years his harvests have moved from late October to early September.reshaping the industry. Production as a whole is moving north (or south in the southern hemisphere) as opportunities open up in once-inhospitable areas. Meanwhile, vineyards in warmer climates are facing mounting problems as it gets hotter. Assuming projections of much hotter world prove true in the next 50 to 100 years, many winemakers will be forced to change their signature products, move, or go under. Many will go under no matter what they do.
Some regions will become inhospitable to winemaking, while new areas will continually open up.production is governed by "appellation" systems that tie specific wines to their geographical locations. This is based on the concept of terroir, a French term that ascribes a wine's uniqueness to the soil, landscape, climate, and viticulture practices of the place where it's produced. A genuine French Sauvignon Blanc must come from Bordeaux, for instance. But as temperatures climb, it will get increasingly difficult to grow the "right" grapes.
A study suggests higher temperatures could end up shrinking Northern California's prime vineyards by half."Long Island, for example. It [the wine industry] has been there only 30 years. They went with reds and thought Merlot was their calling card. But now they're trying white wines."

Long natural brown wavy hairstyle
This is a timeless, retro look for women with long, wavy, curly hair. The rich brunette is a perfect foil for pale ivory cheeks and vermilion lips, and the big waves and curls further enhance the complement of colors. Hair is parted down the middle, and allowed to curve away from the forehead, then back in at eye level, before falling down in a voluminous riot of big curls. The shoulders border much of the weight, and increases the appearance of volume. Ends are left to trail freely down the chest.

New Africa Report: advancing human welfare in a resource-constrained world
While Africans per capita consume very little of the world's biological resources, Africa's growing population is bringing the region close to reaching it's ecological limits, according to a groundbreaking report that Global Footprint Network, in conjunction with WWF, presented on June 9, 2008 at the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment in Johannesburg.
Offering the first in-depth look at the Ecological Footprint of Africa and its constituent countries, Africa: Ecological Footprint and Human Wellbeing examines the role natural resources can play in advancing the region's goals to end poverty and disease – or conversely, if mismanaged, in thwarting these goals. The report is the result of a multi-year effort by Global Footprint Network and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation to explore how ecological limits apply and relate to human development in the region.Understanding Africa's ecological assets and pressures
As the ongoing world food crises makes clear, human welfare is critically linked to mankind's use and stewardship of biological resources. Nowhere is this more true than in Africa – a region with tremendous natural wealth, yet which often suffers first and most tragically when humanity's demand on nature exceeds what nature can provide.
The report finds the average African had an Ecological Footprint of 1.1 global hectares in 2003, well below the global average of 2.2 hectares per person. However, a growing number of African countries are now depleting their natural resources or will shortly be doing so – faster than they can be replaced. Clear dangers loom from a projected more than doubling of Africa's population by 2050, taking it from about one eighth to nearly a quarter of the total world population.
However, several African nations are "ecological creditors:" they produce more biocapacity than they consume. This stands in contrast to U.S. and Europe which are ecological debtors. The U.S., for example, has a Footprint more than 100 percent larger than its biocapacity. According to the report, many opportunities exist in Africa to manage and use biocapacity more effectively.
The Africa Report helps chart a course for progress founded on a solid understanding of the region's ecological assets and pressures.
"There are huge opportunities to improve well-being in lasting ways while staying within our ecological constraints," Wackernagel said. Among these are giving women access to health choices, education and economic opportunities; designing infrastructure that will make cities more resilient to resource scarcities; and leapfrogging directly to the most resource-efficient technologies instead of using older, more resource dependent ones.

I just placed my first order with Adagio and received a sample of Aquarius as a gift from your site. While I couldn't drink it myself, as it was not decaf like the rest of my order, I have been sharing it with my coworkers who loved it very much. I thought when I did my reviews I'd include their raving impressions of it but it doesn't show up on the form since it was a gift from your company and not part of my order.
My suggestion would be to perhaps find a way to include that first gift you give new customers in the review process.

At its peak in 2007, the U.S. home improvement industry totaled almost $330 billion, accounting for 2.3 percent of all activity in our economy and almost half of spending in the overall residential market — defined as the total of new construction plus maintenance and improvements to existing structures. By 2011, market spending had fallen to $275 billion.
However, not only had the level of spending declined, but its composition also shifted. In 2007, discretionary projects — projects like room additions and kitchen and bath remodels that can be deferred — accounted for some 37 percent of homeowner improvements expenditures. That share dropped to just over 26 percent by 2011. At the same time, the share of spending on replacement projects and systems upgrades climbed from 30 percent to 40 percent, while shares of spending in the other home improvement categories were largely unchanged.
Spending on discretionary home improvements — particularly upper-end projects by high-spending households — largely drives the overall remodeling market. In 2006–2007, more than 650,000 owners spent at least $100,000 on home improvements, while another 3.5 million spent between $25,000 and $100,000. Together, these homeowners accounted for almost 60 percent of all expenditures over this two-year period. By comparison, fewer than 3 million owners reported spending more than $25,000 on improvements in 2010–2011, contributing less than 46 percent of the total.
Based on U.S. Census Bureau figures, the Joint Center estimates that homeowner improvement spending was already climbing at a double-digit pace in the second half of 2012, and the Joint Center's Leading Indicator for Remodeling Activity (LIRA) points to continued gains through 2013.
How rapidly growth proceeds depends on many critical factors: international political and financial events; the ability of Congress and the Administration to effectively manage fiscal policy; and, continued improvement in private sector business conditions, leading to job and income growth for U.S. households. The loosening of credit to homeowners for improvement projects is also uncertain. And within the extremely fragmented home improvement industry, there is concern that shortages of skilled labor could create bottlenecks in remodeling activity.
Despite these unknowns, some niche markets are already laying a firm foundation for renewed growth in home improvement spending. In particular, the upgrading of more than 4.2 million distressed homes between 2009 and 2012 has already generated a burst of improvement spending. The 2.9 million homes currently in, or at serious risk of, foreclosure thus represent pent-up demand for future investment. Given the strong growth in the number of renter households since the housing crash, owners of rental housing are likely to upgrade their properties in the coming years. Environmentally sustainable projects are also a growth market, not only because of the recent volatility of home energy costs but also because of increasing interest in broader green objectives, including healthy home environments.
Finally, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that, led by the baby boomers, the population age 65 and over will increase by 15.5 million — nearly 40 percent — between 2010 and 2020. The near-term growth will underpin strong demand for retrofits to existing homes to enable these households to age in place. The large baby-bust generation is entering its peak remodeling years and will support market growth this coming decade. The aging of the enormous echo-boom generation holds the potential for even stronger growth in the home improvement market in the 2020s and beyond.

Midwestern Mountains: A Peek at South Dakota's Black Hills
The Black Hills are South Dakota's hidden treasure trove of runnable peaks
Photo by Action Sports Images
South Dakota might not appear like a trail runner's paradise ... at first thought. The state conjures up images of prairie and grazing bison rather than high-altitude vistas and rocky ridges lined with singletrack. But in the state's southwestern corner, an isolated patch of small mountains defies the state's flatland reputation.
Boasting some of the country's highest points east of the Rocky Mountains, including 7244-foot Harney Peak, the Black Hills are an oasis for mountain lovers in the Midwest. The region (which extends slightly into Wyoming) encompasses the Black Hills National Forest and contains hundreds of miles of smooth, rolling singletrack plus steeper, technical offerings going up to—or down from—the region's many peaks.
Here, you can drift through the prairies with views of far-off buttes or romp beneath the shade of hillside pine trees. And interspersed between it all are small towns that, over a century after the gold rush drew settlers to the region, retain much of their frontier charm.
The ample offerings of runnable terrain play host to several races throughout the year. One of the Black Hills' marquee trails—the Centennial—is so "runnable," as local race director Chris Stores puts it, that it nearly acts alone as the course for the annual Black Hills 100 Mile, 100K and 50 Mile races, which were just held for the second time and are billed as an alternative to another "runnable" race held on the same weekend: Western States.
"It's actually the runnable nature of the Centennial that gets people in trouble at the Black Hills 100," says Stores. "Unlike 100-milers like Leadville and Bighorn, which have stretches where it is painfully obvious that you should be hiking, the Centennial's constant up and down wears on you."
The Black Hills provide easy access to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National Park and Custer State Park, making it an easy trail-running stopover on your next family vacation as well as a great trip on its own.

If you have a hard time finding a pirate costume, blame Jake and Izzy (and Dave and Ridley)
Pirate costumes are HOT. Who knew? A source at the Disney Store, that's who. I was told that if you snooze, you lose when it comes to dressing up for dastardly adventures on the high seas of your neighborhood trick-or-treat night. It seems that blame goes to the runaway success of the Annie Award-winning animated, interactive musical Disney Junior show, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, 2011′s #1 cable TV series for boys 2-5, which starts its third season in 2013. It's about kid pirates Jake and Izzy competing with Captain Hook for treasure in the world of Peter Pan. The costumes are new for 2012, and they not only come with the usual pirate gear, but in Izzie's case, you get a pixie dust pouch (in case, I presume, you want to fly from house to house).
Personally I also blame the pirate scarcity on Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, whom I had a blast interviewing last year, with their fabulous Peter Pan and the Starcatchers series, which has been adapted to the Tony award winning Peter Pan and the Starcatcher.
In any case, the bottom line is that it's hard to find Jake, Izzie, Captain Hook or Peter Pan at Disney stores (locally at NorthPark Center, Grapevine Mills, Stonebriar Centre in Frisco and Hulen Mall in Fort Worth) or online. Which made me wonder about Brave, which was this year's big Disney/Pixar summer film. It turns out that the wild red wig for Brave's Merida is sold out, but you may still possibly be able to get the dress.
So what do the Disney folks tell their would-be pirates, Peter Pans, and bare-headed archers?
"I think The Avengers is a great choice for families," came the helpful reply. "Mom can be an adult Black Widow, Dad can be Spider-Man, a little girl can be a little Black Widow and a little boy can be the Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man or Thor. No, wait. Not Thor. Thor is sold out."

Delaware State University, the state's only historically black institution of higher education, has been announced as a finalist in Home Depot's Retool Your School campus improvement grant program.
Designed to reinvigorate Historically Black Colleges & Universities, finalists are competing for $225,000 in grants for on-campus improvements and are now asking their communities to help them win.
From Feb. 18 to April 15, DSU supporters can visit www.retoolyourschool.com [1] to vote for the University. Winning schools can receive grants from $10,000 to $50,000. Votes can be cast from an individual once a day.
Home Depot will announce the winners on May 3.
DSU President Harry L. Williams said that this is a great way for students, faculty, staff, alumni and the public to demonstrate Hornet Pride in the University.
"This is a great opportunity for our community to support DSU without spending a dime through the period. Home Depot will announce the winners on May 3," said DSU President Harry L. Williams. "As you take the time to go online and cast a vote in support of DSU, you will increase our chances to be awarded significant grant money to make sustainable improvements to our campus."
Each school has identified a major and minor campus improvement project toward which it would use the grant money. DSU's major project would involve rebuilding its outdoor student social area, including ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant pathways and grill areas. The University's minor project would add energy-saving window film to multiple building to reduce the campus' carbon imprint.
DSU is competing against schools from 16 states as well as the District of Columbia.

What is Peutz-Jeghers syndrome?
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an inherited condition that puts people at an increased risk for developing hamartomatous polyps in the digestive tract as well as cancers of the breast, colon, pancreas, stomach, ovaries, and other types, listed below. The lifetime risk of cancer in people with PJS is around 93%. A hamartoma is a growth of normal-appearing tissue that builds up into a benign (noncancerous) tumor. However, a benign tumor can transform into cancer over time. Cancer begins when normal cells begin to change and grow uncontrollably. A tumor can be noncancerous or malignant, meaning cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body.
Typically, signs of this condition appear in childhood with the development of pigmented areas on the skin and in the mouth, called mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation. People with PJS tend to develop dark blue or dark brown freckling, especially around the mouth and on the lips, fingers, or toes. Freckles generally appear in childhood and often fade with age, so that they often are not visible in an adult with PJS newly diagnosed with cancer. Another sign of PJS is the development of hamartomatous polyps of the gastrointestinal tract that can cause bleeding and blockages. The average age when gastrointestinal symptoms appear is 10 years.
The suggested criteria for a diagnosis of PJS are:
- Diagnosis of one or more hamartomatous polyps in the digestive tract, and at least two of the following:
- Polyps in the small intestine
- Characteristic freckling of the mouth, lips, fingers, or toes
- At least one relative diagnosed with PJS
The diagnosis of PJS is also considered if someone has a family history of PJS and has the characteristic freckling. PJS may be a possible diagnosis if a person has the characteristic freckling and polyps even without a known family history.
What causes PJS?
PJS is a genetic condition that predisposes to increased risk to develop cancer. This means that the condition can be passed from generation to generation in a family. The STK11 gene, which is also known as the LKB1 gene, is the only gene that has been linked to PJS so far. A mutation (alteration) in the STK11 gene gives a person an increased lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer and other symptoms of PJS. It is possible that there may be other genes associated with PJS that have not yet been discovered.
How is PJS inherited?
Normally, every cell has two copies of each gene: one inherited from the mother and one inherited from the father. PJS is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner from a parent who carries the STK11 mutation. Each first-degree relative, meaning a parent, child, and/or sibling, of an individual with this condition has a 50% chance that he/she has inherited the same mutation that causes this disease.
However, approximately 45% of affected individuals have no family history of PJS. The exact proportion of cases caused by new (de novo) gene mutations is unknown, as the frequency of subtle signs of the disorder in parents has not been thoroughly evaluated. However, 20% or more of individuals with PJS have a new mutation that occurred at the time they were conceived. A person who has a new mutation has a 50% chance of passing on the STK11 gene mutation to each biological child.
Options exist for couples interested in having a child when they know that one of them carries a gene mutation that increases the risk for this hereditary cancer syndrome. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a medical procedure done in conjunction with in-vitro fertilization (IVF). It allows people who carry a specific known genetic mutation to have children who do not carry the mutation. A woman's eggs are removed and fertilized in a laboratory. When the embryos reach a certain size, one cell is removed and is tested for the hereditary condition in question. The parents can then choose to transfer embryos which do not have the mutation. PGD has been in use for over a decade, and more recently has been used for several hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes. However, this is a complex procedure with financial, physical, and emotional factors for couples to consider before starting. For more information, talk with an assisted reproduction specialist at a fertility clinic.
How common is PJS?
PJS is considered to be rare. It is estimated that between one in 25,000 to one in 200,000 people will have PJS. The syndrome may be underdiagnosed because the skin features like freckles or pigmented spots are often not visible in adulthood.
How is PJS diagnosed?
The diagnosis of PJS is assumed if someone meets the diagnostic criteria listed above. People who may possibly have PJS can have genetic counseling followed by genetic testing that includes a blood test to look for a mutation in the STK11 gene. If an STK11 gene mutation is found, other family members may also be diagnosed with PJS if they are tested and have the same gene mutation. However, people with a clinical diagnosis of PJS may not have a detectable mutation in STK11.
What are the estimated cancer risks associated with PJS, by each type?
less than 10%

What are the screening options for PJS or people at risk for PJS?
It is important to discuss with your doctor the following screening options, as each individual is different:
General cancer screening for anyone with PJS
- Upper and lower endoscopy, beginning at age 10 and repeated every two years into adulthood. An endoscopy uses a thin, lighted, flexible tube with a small video camera that is inserted into your mouth and down your esophagus to look for tumors or other abnormalities.
- Colonoscopy, beginning at age 10 and repeated every two years. During a colonoscopy, doctor inserts a thin flexible tube with a small video camera into the anus to check for abnormalities within the colon and rectum.
- Endoscopic ultrasound or abdominal ultrasound to screen for pancreatic cancer, beginning at age 30 and repeated every one to two years
Cancer screening for women with PJS
- Monthly breast self-examination and yearly clinical breast examination performed by a doctor or nurse, beginning at age 20
- Mammogram every two to three years, beginning at age 20, and then a yearly mammogram, beginning at age 40
- Yearly gynecologic examination including a Pap test, transvaginal ultrasound, and consideration of a uterine biopsy, beginning at age 20
- Females are at risk for sex cord tumors with annular tubules (SCTAT), a benign neoplasm of the ovaries, and adenoma malignum of the cervix, a rare aggressive cancer.
Cancer screening for men with PJS
- Yearly testicular examination and consideration of an ultrasound, beginning by age 20
- Males may develop large calcium containing Sertoli cell tumors (LCST) of the testicles, which secrete estrogen and can lead to enlarged breasts (gynecomastia), advanced skeletal age, and ultimately short stature, if untreated.
Screening options may change over time as new technologies are developed and more is learned about PJS. It is important to talk with your doctor about appropriate screening tests.
Learn more about what to expect when having common tests, procedures, and scans.
Questions to ask the doctor
If you are concerned about PJS and your risk of cancer, talk with your doctor. Consider asking the following questions of your doctor:
- What is my risk of developing colorectal cancer, breast cancer, or other types of cancer?
- How many colon polyps have I had in total?
- What type of colon polyps have I had? The two most common kinds are hyperplastic and adenomatous.
- What can I do to reduce my risk of cancer?
- What are my options for getting a cancer risk assessment, genetic counseling, and possible genetic testing?
- What are my options for cancer screening?
If you are concerned about your family history and think your family may have PJS, consider asking the following questions:
- Does my family history increase my risk of colorectal cancer, breast cancer, or other types of cancer?
- Does it suggest the need for a cancer risk assessment?
- Will you refer me to a genetic counselor or other genetics specialist?
- Should I consider genetic testing?

Since we've had a little college discussion, the US's best college-aged players are playing the World Juniors up in Calgary and Edmonton.
US currently up 9-2 end of 2 against Denmark. Play Finland at 3:30 on Wednesday, the Czechs at 3:30 on Friday, the Canadians at 8 on Saturday night. All games are being streamed live on NHL.com or can be watched on NHL Network.
Really great tournament. Lots of good hockey players. US has won gold and bronze the last two years and the Under-18 team, which has since graduated players to the Under-20 team, has won three straight golds. Lots of talented American-born players on display.
Check it out if you can. Well worth the watch.

Over the next week or so I'll be sharing bits and pieces of my kitchen transformation. Usually bloggers show the grand reveal at the beginning and then go through each of the tutorials. Y'all know how I like to switch things up so this time around we're doing tutorials first.
First up is by far the easiest way to update any kitchen, or really any room in your house-stenciling! It's much easier than painting an entire room, or cabinets, or anything else you can think of. I was a little hesitant at first, just because I didn't think it could really be as easy as everyone says, most things aren't, this however is.
The amazing group behind Royal Design Studio was sweet enough to send me a stencil to review and I was so excited to get this puppy up on my back splash. When you think about it, stencil's are the best way to have an amazing back splash without paying the money for tile and then tearing it out in 2-3 years when you change your style or you're trying to sell your home.
I went with the Hollywood Squares stencil from the Allover Modern Stencils Collection because I loved the clean lines of the square stencil and the character it had. Each stencil comes with a detailed instruction pamphlet with the best way to get the most out of your stencil. The steps to take are so easy and they really do make a huge difference!
Supplies needed-
1-Your Favorite Stencil
2-Foam Roller or Stencil Brush
4-Paper Towles
5-LOTS of painters tape!
A normal person probably wouldn't use almost an entire roll of painter's tape on this, but I was kind of obsessive about making sure that each time I taped it up it wasn't going anywhere. The paper towels aren't a necessity but Royal Design recommended it and I thought it made a difference. By rolling your foam roller or bloating your stencil brush slightly on the paper towel before applying it to your stencil gets the excessive paint off and helps keep the lines crisp and clean.
Isn't it absolutely fabulous? All for about $30 (less if you have the supplies on hand like I did). When you look at using stone or tile for a back splash the cheapest ones will usually run for about $200-300. Now you can take that extra $270 and spend it on new clothes-or if your more like us, put it towards another renovation in the house.
Have a stenciling project in mind but just missing the stencil? Check back next Wednesday for a chance to win one of Royal Design Stencil's and bring character to your space!

CES 2013: Tech Weekly Recap
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Consumer Electronics Show was the talk of tech this week. It was a who's who of the sector, with many notable companies, such as Intel (INTC) , Qualcomm (QCOM) and Broadcom (BRCM) in attendance.
TheStreet covered CES live , meeting up with some of the key players and attending press conferences that wowed the masses. Samsung was one of the bigger ones, showing off its latest television sets and taking a few shots at competitor Apple (AAPL) .
Samsung's new flagship F8000 television is a sight to behold with its LED screen and incredibly beautiful picture. It comes in sizes from 46 inches to 75 inches, and uses a feature called Intelligent Viewing to help the consumer make better choices when searching for content. What really took my breath away, though, were the OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TVs with built-in speaker systems that look like a work of art. These TVs come in Ultra HD, and are poised to change the way people watch television in the future.
TVs were certainly the hot item this year, with Sharp also showing off its latest and greatest , albeit to a more muted reaction. Chip companies Broadcom and Qualcomm showed off their latest silicon. Broadcom CEO Scott McGregor sat down for an exclusive interview with TheStreet to talk about Ultra HD, which the company announced a new chip for this year.
Though CES was the big news this week, some other companies managed to steal some of the limelight, such as Facebook (FB) , which announced a major press event, set for next Tuesday.
"Come and see what we're building," the invite said. There's plenty of speculation about what Facebook will show off next week in Menlo Park, Calif., including a search engine, a deal with Netflix (NFLX) or, less likely, a phone.
Yours truly will be attending the event and live-blogging all the news. Las Vegas one week. California the next. No rest for the weary, that's for sure.
Facebook shares gained 10% this past week to close Friday at $31.72 on excitement surrounding the event.
Speaking of phones, Apple, Nokia (NOK) , and Research In Motion (RIMM) all made news of their own this week.
Reports suggested that Apple would launch a cheaper iPhone for emerging markets, but as soon as that rumor hit, pundits shot it down. TheStreet's Rocco Pendola said that he didn't believe the chatter, and warned that, if true, it could spell bad news for Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of marketing, put the kibosh on the rumor, reportedly saying that Apple will not develop cheap smartphones in an interview with The Shanghai Evening News . "Every product that Apple creates, we consider using only the best technology available," he said, in a translation obtained by The Next Web . "This includes the production pipeline, the Retina display, the unibody design, to provide the best product to the market."

Roadside dog sales: Right or wrong?Posted Thursday, February 4, 2010, at 10:11 AM
As warmer weather arrives, it's likely that people selling or giving away dogs and cats will arrive again at Walmart's parking lot.
Shelbyville City Council banned individuals from selling animals in public lots in 2008. That didn't seem to stop anyone last year.
Nashville banned roadside animal sales on Tuesday. Individuals can still do so at their homes, but not in parking lots.
I can see both sides of the issue. Parking lots provide more visibility than most homes do, and what real difference does "location" make? But some of those dogs, frankly, don't look like they're being treated well. And another thought to consider -- the humane groups will agree on this -- is that parking lot transactions don't ensure vaccinations and spay/neuter completion.
Here's another thought:
I've gotten the impression, right or wrong, that some humane group representatives don't want to let dogs be adopted which would be used as hunting dogs. They're concerned that the dogs would be bred and most of the litters abandoned. I see that as sort of a slam on hunters.
If hunting dogs aren't bred, eventually there will be no hunting dogs. Are some of these people actually simply anti-hunting?
And yet another thought:
I know of one Bedford County location where two large dogs are kept in a pen roughly the size of a jail cell, with no grass to speak of. Speaking as one who is for humane treatment of animals and against too much government regulation, should someone with dogs in such a situation be cited under animal abuse laws?
Showing most recent comments first
[Show in chronological order instead]
The problem with street corner/parking lot puppy sales/give away is that often times that puppy grows up to be a dog that nobody wants. There is nothing sweeter that a cuddly little puppy and nothing worse than a big dog tearing up the news paper and pooping in the neighbor's yard. What was cute and cuddly is now a problem. So, what do you do? Well you could take it to the animal shelter but the dog is probably not adoptable and they will end up "putting it to sleep". To save it from being killed you load up the dog and take it for a drive in the country; dump it out on the side of the road and head back home with a certain amount of guilt but the problem is solved. WRONG... now it is someone else's problem. It is far more humane to shoot a dog than to dump it on the side of the road to starve or get run over. People justify dumping their dog on the side of the road by believing that "some farmer will give it a good home". Not going to happen folks... farmers don't want stray dogs chasing and killing their stock. Often times the farmer ends up having to shoot a stray dog that someone dumped on the side of the road to starve. The dog has to kill livestock in order to live and the farmer has to kill the dog to protect his property.
Have your animals spayed or neutered and make the punishment for dumping them harsh enough that people will think twice before doing it.

There is a site that has a section for orphaned or free coon dogs, let me know if you want the site. There are always some young boys that would love to have their own coon dog.
-- Posted by Easton on Tue, Feb 9, 2010, at 12:56 PM
I would agree that any true hunter is going to care for their dogs. They have an investment and that investment helps them with their hunting, so why starve it to death.
However, there are folks who THINK they want to be hunters or who get a dog and then realize that it is a commitment. They should find a home but instead either neglect it or drop it off.
We have a 6 month (approximated by our vet) coon dog (also identified by our vet, that was dropped off. She is healthy and full off energy (FULL). She just finished her initial shots and is ready for adoption if someone is interested.
We have probably spoiled her by her living in a heated greenhouse but she may be young enough to train. I do not know the "in's and out's" of coon dog training.
Did I mention the price? FREE! You don't even have to pay for her vet bills. Her leaving will just make room for the next drop off that I am sure will soon arrive.

Its better than dumping them out on Whiteside Hill Rd or shooting them
-- Posted by Double Exposure on Fri, Feb 5, 2010, at 6:05 PM
Yes REALLY. There is always a bad apple.Just like all the puppy mills that are found with the small lap dogs. Not all poodles are pampered. But those that HUNT, keep their dogs up to date on shots because they come in contact with wild animals.
-- Posted by Easton on Thu, Feb 4, 2010, at 3:03 PM
"People that keep hunting dogs will keep them up to date on shots and when they are hunted the dogs get a large amount of exercise."
Really? Because one of my dogs is a hunting dog that I got at the Bedford County animal control and she was not treated very well at all by her previous owners. She was definitely abused as she is afraid of literally everything and has many visible scars from when she lived with her former family...I'm hoping that most hunters treat their dogs better than mine was treated.

A good compromise would be regular "adoption fairs" (plus listings of available pets online and through media such as radio,public access television and the paper).
Any transfers of ownership (even without money changing hands) would involve contracts with the individual animals and all humans party to the agreement identified.
When people get their pets' licenses renewed at the time of vaccinations,an additional fee would be levied against animals capable of reproduction.
This would help pay for health care for less well-to-do pets.
Such a tax could be offset by a discount given to pets that are working animals (such as therapy cats) or have had training (such as a Canine Good Citizen designation).
Breeders would have to prove they had the know-how and facilities to be licensed to raise and sell animals.
They would be required to limit the number of litters produced per year or by any one parent.
"Retired" animals once used for breeding,work or sport (and those who didn't make the cut) would be required to have a "golden parachute" of a good forever home-even if they would not be suitable for a role as a pet.
Animals could only be killed under humane conditions and as required for appropriate causes such as medical necessity,food production or to remove a dangerous animal.
Killing a beast for "cosmetic defect" or other dubious reasons would be banned.
As fewer animals were born and as each animal had caring,knowledgeable humans over them at each stage of life,there would be fewer redundant animals around.
The lessons learned in keeping an animal provided with the right sort of food,shelter,medical care and socialization would serve humans well in raising children.
Let's make it easier for people to become the right sort of owners,trainers and breeders and practically impossible to do anything else.
The responsible breeder will gain by having a finite supply of a superior product.
The adoptive family will have a healthier beast and the creatures who join our lives will have a higher standard of living with committed people aware of and sensitive to their needs.
How many neutered,trained,vaccinated and chipped animals pose a problem-even if they get loose?
When they do get in trouble,their families could be located with greater ease and those families would be held accountable for the animal's well-being and any damages they might cause.
Such policies would require a little time,money and effort in the begining but,once implemented,would reduce or eliminate the costs we incur by treating animals as commodities rather than thinking,feeling creatures.

The idea that hunters breed for one pup and then abandoned the rest is not true. The hunters may keep one pup and sell the others or give them away. People that keep hunting dogs will keep them up to date on shots and when they are hunted the dogs get a large amount of exercise. I do not see many "stray" coon dogs. The large dogs that you are speaking of may get to get out and play. Sometimes there are other things that people need to worry about. If the large dogs look healthy then it is not really a concern. If they look underfed and sick, then there is a problem.
-- Posted by Easton on Thu, Feb 4, 2010, at 10:39 AM
I am not saying if I am pro or con on giving away or selling animals in parking lots but the first thought that came to mind was that some of the people that cant give away their animals this way will most likely just drop them off on the side of a country road.

An artist who is celebrated for liberating art from the confines of the gallery space, Heizer has also maintained a more conventional painting and printmaking practice.
Several of his print series feature in the Kenneth Tyler Collection.
