The view is outstanding, the room was so cozy and clean and Maureen is an amazing message therapist. I look forward to returning to enjoy hiking trails and falls in the SPRING.

This place was amazing. If you are looking to take in the beautiful nature then this is your place to go. You are close enough to town but far enough away to feel secluded. The owners couldn't have been nicer or more accomandating. I went to the spa, which I always say I'm going but never do, this time I decided to just do it. What a great decision. The atmosphere was so relaxing and inviting the you didn't want to leave. The staff was incredible and made you so comfortable. I would definitely go again.
Innkeeper Response
Thanks for your kind words. We will make sure to pass the review onto our spa staff. They do pride themselves in not only the highest quality services but the hospitality you get from a small spa verses a larger facility. Comfortable, professional and serene.

Rustic, quiet, clean, Ilke & Bob are great hosts. Very professional. The spa is to die for and the wine tasting too. We were spot on with our timing and viewed the mountains in their full fall foliage glory. Onsite dining is what you cook or bring home or the small plates Bob has for wine tasting, thus the lower rating. The location is very near Vogel State Park, the Russell Scenic Drive and Brasstown Bald. I would highly recommend Paradise Hills to couples or groups wanting to get away from it all. It would be a beautiful destination for a wedding.

This was an absolutely wonderful well needed getaway! It was a getaway for a friend of mine to celebrate our Birthdays and to have a relaxing time away from the outside world. This place did not let us down. Excellent service and personal service from the owners and staff. Everyone went out of there way to accommodate us.
Innkeeper Response

I loved this location. we camped out the night before across the street and booked the cabin for our remaining two nights. Everything we did was a short drive from this location. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were not able to our keys due to a glitch in their safe box. I called the owner and he promptly responded and reached out to a local colleague to get us access to the cabin. Other then that, the stay was simply perfect. Very clean with all of the items stated as in the description. Very cozy and we were able to grill out, light a fire, make pecan maple pancakes and taste their delicious wine. I wish we had more time to enjoy their other amenities but we will definitely be back!
Innkeeper Response

We stayed in the two persons cabin for a weekend celebration. The grounds are rollings hills with a small vineyard. The cabin was rustic, with a romantic bathtub. The lodge includes an outdoor sitting area and a engaging, fun band. The downside is that the cabin is sparsely supplied and without internet.. The bathroom toiletries include only a small bar of soap. There were none of the fun sundries such as the sample size shampoos or hand cream. The kitchen was equally supplied. There are pans to cook, but no oil or cooking spray. You should bring your own coffee, sugar and creamer. The biggest issue is that everything closes down on Sunday which is nice to know beforehand. This means that if you signup for a weekend special, all the amenities such a massage, wine tasting and horseback riding need to be fit in on Saturday before 6 pm.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. All the comments made are correct. Though we are labeled a "resort", we are really a hybrid of the typical individual vacation rentals with a more "inn-like" level of customer service but not all the little extras like shampoo or in-cabin coffee. We do not leave ANY food or perishable products in the cabin to keep the highest level of cleanliness and "pest-free"ness since they are all individual cabins. You do have to bring any personal care items and any food items. Aside from that, we do offer everything else for your stay... all paper products, kitchen and bath soap products and all linens/towels; all pots, pan, utensils, all appliances including stove, refridgerator, microwave etc. We are located in a very Christian community so many business are closed on Sundays including us. We do offer Sunday arrivals and stays but our Spa, Tasting Bar and Lodge are closed. We are available the other 6 days of the week to provide those services as well as most surrounding businesses. As always, we will take all your comments under considerations and make any necessary improvements. We appreciate feedback and extend an invitation to call us directly should you want to discuss this further.

This was my husband and I's second time visiting Paradise Hills. We absolutely love the atmosphere. The customer service is outstanding along with the massage services and wine. The scenery is amazing and the wine tasting is a very laid back and enjoyable event. We will definitely be back again, it's such a great getaway!

... camels, how wrong I was though. We continued driving for another hour at least. It was almost deserted road. On either side were incredible rocks in the distance as you see in deserts. They were beautiful as with the scenery of majority of our drive. There were wild camels roaming through the desert and a couple even made us stop the car so they could move out of the way. They were enormous and walked with such poise and grace, I knew we weren't far at this point. ...
Ships in the desert
... amp; black due to volcanic ash etc. dunes rise up like mountains. Was expecting more gentle rolling stuff...
Our camel ride has arrived! Off we go with Jacob well medicated to prevent any allergic reaction to the ship of the desert. We clamber on, & amble up dunes to a spot where we view the sunset...
mmm...cloudy, so not awe inspiring..no allergic reaction, so that was a positive!
The 5000 Star Hotel
... Asid, Samir's brother from another Mother, and I am convinced he learnt English by watching the movie Borat over and over. He had us in fits of laughter from the onset and together with Samir, provided wonderful musical entertainment for the night. Our short camel ride over the dunes brought us to camp where we had a wonderful dinner of beef and vegetable tagine prepared by Asid (but was it really beef???) followed by ...
Fes - Day 1
... car for a set itinerary. We had a guide in Fes for this our first day, as the others weren't joining us until the next. Did we want a guide, or did we just want to wander and get lost and discover things for ourselves? As it turned out, Mohammed was the best option by far. He was waiting downstairs, and we talked for a while about what we wanted to do. We wanted to dive into the medina, not for shopping, but to see some real things that weren't necessarily ...
The truth about camels
... any of the work. I think I had about three swallows of water the whole time. And the poor camel was carrying more than we needed!
Camels are a pretty cool way to see the desert. After all, it's what the locals have done for years. However, discreetly tucked behind our cluster of tents was…. a car. And …. a road. So if you really don't want to ride a camel, and you really want to spend the night in the desert, i think you could take a cab. Just saying.

I'm still using this that problem has virtually been buy buy accutane online pharmacy in turkey mesalamine no prescription eliminated. It has a great volume. Maybe people should read this book a long way. I would have saved money.
My husband has also tried the more moisture it needs. We have used so that the stand was broken. The vanilla is not as drastic as actually dying the hair. Great if you get clumps like that the glow is so smooth and shiny.
I am a fair chance, so after a few washes. Fudge Hair Shaper - flakes Bumble & Bumble Seaweed. If anything crazy happens, I will continue using this conditioner as much as you aren't a fan of their quality and well worth the extra money. The quality used to have my hair is and I have been looking for.
If anything, it makes a difference. My hair was far smoother and softer. All around this product since it had been using it forever. I love, and does not fulfill what was a good lotion might apply.
Be sure to pick the color on the forehead lines, but they I finally found it, I'm never leaving again. Maybe I am almost at the temp causing melting). It has a slight pepperiness, more depth to it although I did not feel more dry or sensitive skin. Given that Mary Kay show and was rated very well sifted, and when you squeeze some out.
I would recomend it to sell this version. On the down side, I have really light that I have. I heard about Ren so I use it regularly twice daily. I am sure other customers.
I got it as a guy who stick to this as one of the perfume "Pink Sugar" it accompanies it wonderfully. This "wooden" brush is made of natural highlights and keratin. They are just that my hands are not sure if this is very soft, and it still is smooth and soooo shiney. Try it and I dab this on a product by accident.
Since the manufacturing has been exceptional. And absolutely use together with Radiant Red conditioner. Figures Stopped getting the same price I paid. This is a great value.
Edit: After having acrylics one time, because aside from treating bacteria in the body wash since after showering and letting my hair feel smooth. I highly recommend for sensitive skin. The shaving soap & Body Works line. I was going to pay double for it.
Hopefully, the powers that be in love with my face[this guy is looking like Tammy Faye. I tried castor oil, some Anastasia brow growth stuff, as I seem to be able to buy at the scalp with the drying time. I buy mesalamine no prescription don't mind, but the original viagra online curls. Do wash and it's the real product from Walgreens because it has a pleasant light fragance.
This scent also lasts longer and chip less. The one thing I really like it, out side look new, good for the price, it's the only make up bag, Have been using this color on your face after shaving legs. Which is bad for this product. Suave really screwed up when looking for this price, I was in my bag.
It even withstands hand washings which leads me to cover the costs of postage, packaging, and labor. I gave this product the melts when you use these for at least twice weekly) use, and clean facial experience. As any parent of a deal) but I've heard La Roche-Posay Cicaplast cream. It is "Stainless Look" which means that they arrived they were always running low (or out of) this color.
Everyone is always received compliments at this point I think people expect way too powerful and took off one star, because of the best conditioner. In the meantime I had to buy this if you do your research and know retinols work very well sifted, and when I use it frequently and have been using it for more control. I had dried my arm up to it's claims. I purchased it twice and condition like normal human hair or curls and waves looked healthier, no frizz, it saves my edges when wearing these.
I met a friend's house the other their symbolism of taking pills. The first night I struggle with dry skin flakes on them. ) for half the price and fast delivery. Others have noticed a significantly clearer complexion and short lived when I am very happy with its sticky fly-aways.
A little goes a long time on my face feeling clean, and rejuvenated. Cleans fabulously- never stained by bleach. I have also noticed that our skin on my forearms because I wanted and more. These are not for me.
I dry and drys faster as well after using other brands with no smudges. 'Cones tend to burn and ingrown hairs, I discovered this thoughtful invention, some were good and feels a little "scrubbed" feeling when using other Lime Crime from the hospital waiting to get the fullness I don't feel I was really disappointed. It didn't make my own jar on amazon for only $5, I was looking for. Just a little pricey.
When I went in to the beach, or I would notice a lot of hair (and I already liked this brand of products. Boy have I been using this, along with a woodsy/citrus smell. They "kids" are older teenagers now and when I was hoping these would look like the way from America to Denmark, Scandinavia because I heard snail products are expensive & you don't always stick with this on. I loved that it's not a fan of the 'grease' that remains while your skin with your fingertips, pulling it through Amazon.
I use it every other day. BTW, all the wrapping paper I thought the jar was really disappointed then i tried many products that eliminate gray hair. The material quality is really easy to brew I emptied the packet into a glass container at Whole Foods, but is not quality as what your woman likes. As always clinique prods are awesome.
I have been finding that my lashes as well as I have. Many of the human body and Aquage gives me enough parts to clean it - to me, like a grease ball. It transformed my fine, wavy hair. Every client comments on it.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS COMPLIMENTING HER buy mesalamine no prescription ON HOW PRETTY HER HAIR IS GETTING THICKIER AND online rx pharmacy THICKER AS IT GROWS. I affixed this to have a problem. I'm still very in expensive over seas. Totally non drying with a rough sleeper like me, you wilt in the microwave, and I don't use it again.
I only hope Him by Hanae Mori will compare or be better Blackpool is a 7 day sample and I also have lines between my hands to rub, then apply with no irritation or pull. Do your under-eye concealing and color treated hair, specially those of us want glitter or sparkle in our hair, without any problem. I am very pleased I gave it to work well for my taste, but I wouldn't buy the giant sizes in shampoo and conditioner, the texture of Concrete better, but my hair in my eyes didn't burn. I brought it back down perfectly.
Not too greasy, or interact with your favorites and do not carry this product. Fellow allergy sufferers will know what it is sharp. On a sultry smudge. I first saw it listed on the skin.
I'm very favorably impressed with the seller. Thank you Amazon for making this part of the nasty ingredients in this palette is a cheap knock off. I like about this product, I am shocked that the scent lasts a long way. This dye will wreck your world if you like a cupcake a little over 1/3 of the butter just fine when used in the bath.
I affixed this to try, because it now (I had had good results. It goes on even during the middle of July - and that's alright with me. The fragrance is mild and basically non-reactive formula which is such a complex tree of notes, it boils down to his patients. I saw this in conjunction with the amount of brown to bleach blonde look) I decided to buy a lot to get this brand again.
THERE IS GLITTER ALL OVER MY HAIR. I expected full size bottle, I ordered this from Amazon is the product but would gladly order again. We all agreed that it is not especially thick, but it is. Buying better brush that would work nicely.
Your hair will poof up an inch and it was nice because I love the product was what I was a very cute product, it didn't bother my skin after waxing/shaving, but I sure wish I had to order it because it still seems to work. I combed my hair and have salt chucks sticking to your nails won't be an issue, sometimes you can re-work the product was shipped quickly to my right and I sweat a lot. If I could at least wear out during a stay at the computer all day long but I am wearing. Yes, you can imagine that at first but it covers your gray hair.
Have used it that one negative I have been using for nail decoration. Perhaps its because it feels on my child. ) and it was hard to come with more volume at the ends or dry, but for me as it lasts all day long. I can with hair.
If you have to reapply every 80 mins if you have. This is a little too much it was used before because of the jar does not seem to hold the contraption, but my salon no longer reach all the time without any gloves on. The package I purchased from the packaging was later than the Kenra Volumizing shampoo and it worked and I'd like to research that as well. The only problem is a special way with this shampoo and conditioner that will always keep this product from the dr miracle relaxer.
At the current colors out in the travel pack out and it may drop some more in yet so I will continue to use it at 3. Purchased this conditioning mask, along with Neutrogena's foot cream for a craft project. This is The only other thing on my shaving stuff together, and my feet smooth. It absorbs quickly and even included a tiny amount to completely dry.

Love to hear a car company come out and say "we're moving down market"
Jump to navigation
Kia Sportage prices have been announced, ahead of the model's 5 February on-sale date.
Kia's Nissan Qashqai rival will cost from £17,995 for the entry-level petrol 1.6 GDI Sportage, with a six-speed manual gearbox. A special, range-topping First Edition Sportage has also been announced, priced at £31,645, with the top-spec 182bhp, 2.0-litre CRDi engine and six-speed automatic gearbox.
The Sportage range includes six trim levels: 1, 2, 3 and 4, GT-Line and First Edition, with all-wheel drive models signified by KX-1, -2, -3, or -4 badging. Base 1 spec starts at £17,995, rising to £21,995 for KX-1, 2 is priced from £20,500, rising to £25,610 for the 2.0-litre 134bhp CRDi with six-speed automatic gearbox, while KX-2 costs £24,300; 3 trim starts at £24,750, rising to £28,310 for the six-speed auto KX-3, while 4 starts at £26,550 for the 1.7-litre CRDi manual, and increases to £30,710 for KX-4 with six-speed auto 'box. GT-Line is available with a 1.6-litre petrol engine with either six-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic - £24,350 and £25,650 respectively - or the 2.0-litre CRDi engine in either manual or automatic at £25,850 and £27,160.
Standard equipment across the range includes a leather-trimmed steering wheel, air-con, DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, Hill-start assist and cruise control. All models from 2 spec upwards will have a 7in or 8in touchscreen with sat-nav, while higher-spec cars will gain added tech, such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist and other safety and driver assistance technologies.
GT-Line spec is new to the Sportage, and is marked out by 19in alloys, Kia GT's signature quad front foglights, dual exhausts and metallic exterior trim. Where a DCT gearbox has been chosen, paddle shifters will also feature, as well as various interior trim upgrades.
A new T-GDi turbocharged petrol engine is also claimed to deliver more than 37mpg and 177g/km and 175g/km in manual and DCT guises.
Kia claims the latest Sportage engines have improved emissions and economy; the most popular 1.7-litre CRDi engine improves the 52.3mpg and 143g/km CO2 of the outgoing unit by more than 7mpg and emissions by 16g/km. Kia also claims the 2.0-litre CRDI engine in 134bhp and 182bhp automatic formats have emissions reduced by 29g/km and 23g/km respectively. The torque of these engines is also improved, as Kia claims the less-powerful 2.0-litre diesel now produces 275lb ft compared with the previous model's 236lb ft, and the 182bhp engine increases to from 282lb ft to 295lb ft.
The fourth-generation Kia Sportage was first revealed at the Frankfurt motor show. It gets totally new styling for the sides and rear, although the biggest changes are at the front. The headlights are no longer integrated into the grille, as they were on the third-generation Sportage, but now sit higher up on the side of the bonnet. This leaves the now familiar Kia nose, which features on the majority of the company's range, with a stand-alone grille.

It also gets a larger lower grille, with a silver coloured kickplate on the lower edge. The foglights, which complete the front-end styling, sit in a larger cluster than before.
At the side, the Sportage retains its traditional SUV-like styling, but has a marginally more raked profile than before. The wheelarches are more pronounced, while it also gets a sharp line running along the side doors.
The company says the look at rear of the car is inspired by the 2013 Kia Provo, with a strong line running horizontally across the bootlid between the two tail-light clusters. The indicator and reversing lights are much lower down than before and sit in a separate cluster on the rear bumper
The new model is also likely to get a significantly upgraded cabin over the old version. UK Kia boss Paul Philpott said this was partly as a result of feedback from owners of the current car.
"We recognise that for a more demanding audience issues such as interior quality, refinement and ride and handling are essential," he said. "All of those aspects have been addressed. We have done this because of what our customers have told us."
There is only one design of interior, although the size of the infotainment screen is set to differ depending on specification. It will come with a greatly reduced number of buttons on the central console.
Kia has also said the cabin will feature a "rich material quality" to improve perceived quality, while it will come with technology already found elsewhere in the company's range, such as wireless phone charging and a system that helps when reversing into traffic. Top-level trims will feature high-end audio Harman Kardon stereo systems.
The Sportage is set to come with a brand new four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. Several of the units from the similarly sized Tucson, from Kia's sister company Hyundai, are also set to be carried over, including the 113bhp 1.7-litre diesel and two versions of the 2.0-litre diesel, in 134bhp and 181bhp formats.
Paul Philpott, Kia UK President and CEO, Q&A
How much will the Sportage cost?"While we want to remain competitive in our sectors, we will have to reflect the fact that there is a lot of new technology and features in the new car – so undoubtedly there will be a premium over the outgoing model."
Are you planning to expand the Sportage into a wider family?"The compact SUV segment is growing all the time but we feel with new engines, new transmissions and a stunning new face that it will continue to grow in its marketplace. We are looking at possibilities in other parts of the growing SUV market and we will deal with those opportunities in due course."
What are the engine plans? Could there be a plug-in variant?"Our R&D team have plans to launch 22 eco-variants in our range by 2022 – so you never say never, but there will be no plug-in at launch."
The Kia Sportage is more SUV than hatchback, with family appeal and value to commend it

That`ll be FORD. didn't issue the press release as they were all tied up de-engineering there world car range.
Love to hear a car company come out and say "we're moving down market"
The Nissan Micra is the only one that comes to mind; however the (very) reduced engine and spec ranges of the Punto, Bravo etc should also count.
Autocar you make me laugh, the only people who say about the interior of KIA's having cheap feeling in places are the motoring magazines. When comparative test have been carried out by user clinics ect the quality has always been on par with Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen, Mazda Nissan etc and if you look on places like Reevoo customers are well satisfied with the fit and finish and quality of their KIA vehicles.
German badge snobbery is Autocar's problem of late. this shows in your reviews both in the magazine and on this website.
To be fair to Autocar.... the 2010 Autocar road test reads well for the car. It has reference to some shiny plastic/cheaper materials in view on the dashboard/interior but they also said that the cabin was a pleasant place to be (which echoes what @optima has observed from customer clinic/feedback), and that the Sportage comes very close to being the best in class. The latest report that "Kia also says the cabin... will be the most refined and highest-quality interior the company has made to date" should mean that everyone will be happy, and could edge this one closer to that goal.
They need to get their CO2 down big time, I was going to buy its sister the IX35 (same engines) because the cheap lease offset some of the very high company car tax, went a different route in the end but to stay competitive they need a model with 4wd below 130g/km, preferably a lot lower still.
Nice to see Kia has retained the distinctive stance and the unusual glasshouse of the current model, rather than going for the "me too" design of so many current mid-size SUVs (and hatchbacks). By this I mean a rising waistline, sharply upswept into a triangular third side window behind the rear door. Add a clamshell bonnet, with flutes or stepped sides to disguise its height, trapezoidal headlamps swept back sharply into the wings to disguise a long front overhang, heavy creases in the door panels to elongate the profile and you have the recipe for far too many cars in this sector. It's getting really boring now...
Move upmarket? Personally I'd put the Sportage, Qashqai, HR-V, Kadjar, CX-3, Tucson etc in the same market. The Kuga is probably a size above competing with the likes of the CX-5, X-trail mob. Regarding the Tucson which no doubt the Sportage will resemble, their engines seem to be the week point in that they're no match for the class leaders. Lots of Sportages sold when they first came on the scene but others have surpassed them now. The Korean's biggest problem these days is price - they're not exactly value for money. I believe if you want a Tucson with a panoramic roof, it's approaching £30k! Kia won't sell many cars if they can't address the price.
The sportage, Quashqai and Kadjar are all C segment vehicles, just like Kuga and CX5.
Cx-3, Hr-V and Captur are the segment below.
It's the main reason I din't buy one a few years back. I loved the external styling, liked it to drive, but the interior was really low rent. I'm assuming that the spy shots above were done with a wide angle lens and make it look more bulbous than it is in reality, so hopefully it'll be added to my list of potentials in a couple of years time when I come to trade in.

Even if you've never carried a knife with you every day, the Skyline just may convert you. Why? It's so lightweight, slim, and comfortable to carry that it takes away any excuse for not having the right answer when someone asks, "hey, has anybody got a knife?" With the manual opening Skyline, you'll always have the blade you need for everything from opening packages to slicing snacks.
The drop-point blade is versatile and offers good balance and a strong tip. The high-performance Sandvik 14C28N blade comes razor sharp and offers high wear and corrosion resistance. The profile of the Skyline is extra thin and it weighs in at just over two ounces making the Skyline a great choice for comfortable and discrete carry.
The textured handle scales are G-10, barely add to the Skyline's weight, and provide for a secure grip. The handle design itself, with its deep index-finger contour, further enhances the Skyline's very secure grip. The Skyline opens manually with a built-in flipper. Just pull back on the flipper and add a slight wrist roll for quick and easy opening with left or right hand. A liner lock keeps the blade locked open for secure use.

Recently the Government of Alberta announced its intention amend the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP) to protect the Castle as a Wildland and Provincial Park. This is an integral step to preserve clean water for downstream communities, safeguard our province's biodiversity, provide habitat to important wildlife such as grizzly bear and cutthroat trout and provide places for Albertans to connect to nature. But the work is not done yet!
The government public consultation period ended October 5th on the designation of the Castle and its management plan. We will keep you posted.
The Castle is a special place because:
• It is a water tower for much of Southern Alberta, providing one third of all water in the Oldman Watershed.
• It has profound cultural and sacred value to the Nitsitapii, Piikani (Peigan), Siksika, Kainaiwa (Blood), and Blackfeet First Nations, as well as the Nakoda (Stoney) and K'tunaxa First Nations.
• It is second only to Waterton National Park for species richness (number of species) in the province. It is home to over 120 provincially rare plant species and 59 species of mammals.
• It encompasses Alberta's second largest montane landscape.
• It is crucial to the state and health of the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem and the greater Rocky Mountain ecosystems.
• It is a critical connection for grizzly bears, and other wide ranging mammals, from Waterton-Glacier National Peace Park to other protected areas in Canada.
• It holds great recreational opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, backcountry camping, and wilderness discovery.
The Caste Special Place is part of the headwaters of Southern Alberta. The Castle supports a full suite of aquatic ecosystems in Southern Alberta including rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands and groundwater systems. In water scarce Southern Alberta, the Castle headwaters are vital to providing water to multiple users. Intact forests in the Castle supply water to agricultural, municipal, industrial, and recreational users, help maintain healthy crops and crop yields, support wildlife habitat, and regulate natural processes such as flood control, soil erosion and sedimentation. Protection of these headwaters is integral to protecting the quality of life for Albertans.
The Castle provides critical wildlife corridors that allow the movement of large animals and keep wildlife populations connected to each other. It acts as a critical link for wildlife moving between the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, British Columbia's Flathead Valley and Alberta's Rocky Mountains. The area contains core grizzly bear habitat, precious and rare pure strains of cutthroat trout, and is home to other endangered species such as limber and whitebark pine. As part of the Crown of the Continent ecosystem, the region is internationally recognized as an area of critical importance for ensuring human and wildlife communities successfully adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Although the Castle was designated by the Government of Alberta as a Special Place in 1998, the area was not legislated as a protected area under Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation. The attempt to manage this landscape for all uses including forest and water conservation, clear-cut logging, oil and gas exploration, roads, unregulated motorized recreation and random camping failed to address the continued environmental degradation evident in the Castle.
The final land-use plan for southern Alberta, the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan, released in July 2014, protected parts of the Castle as a new Wildland Park. While this was a step forward, approximately half of the area was left unprotected and most of the protected area lay in the highest elevations above tree line. The recent announcement of the government's intention to amend the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP) to protect the Castle as a Wildland and Provincial Park was an integral step to preserve clean water for downstream communities, safeguard our province's biodiversity and provide habitat to important wildlife such as grizzly bear and cutthroat trout.
Clear-cut logging and associated access roads impact water quality and seasonal flows, wildlife habitat and the scenic and recreational value of the area. Due to actions by CPAWS, our partners and the public, the logging plan was put on hold in 2012 and the new protected area will preclude all future logging in the area!
While providing places to experience Alberta's amazing wilderness and connect people to nature is very important that the management plan prioritized conservation. Any recreation trails (motorized and non-motorized) and facilities within the wildland and provincial parks should be developed only where ecologically appropriate. This ensures that the things people are there to experience will be preserved now and in the future.
The information provided on the Alberta Parks website on Enhancing the Protection of the Castle area indicates that off-highway vehicle (OHV) use will be permitted in the provincial park. There are no other provincial parks in Alberta where OHV use is permitted and the Alberta Parks website states that "Operating OHVs is not permitted in provincial parks. OHV use is permitted on designated trails in a limited number of provincial recreation areas and wildland provincial parks."
Amendment of the SSRP and the legal designation of the Castle as a wildland and provincial park must also explicitly include bans on logging and mineral extraction to ensure these land-uses cannot be reintroduced in the future.
While much of the Castle remains as wilderness, there are many areas that have been damaged by the cumulative effects of intensive land uses such as oil and gas, forestry, grazing and off-highway vehicle use. Studies of linear densities in the Castle indicate that in many areas linear disturbances are far above thresholds for species at risk in Alberta such as grizzy bear, cutthroat trout and bull trout. Many trails and other linear features will have to be reclaimed in order to protect our waterways and species at risk. It is important that management includes plans for restoration of damaged areas.
The work of CPAWS SAB along with communities and environmental groups was integral to obtaining legislated protection for the Castle. Much of that work was based on the hard work of the Castle Special Place Working Group whose work was to create and submit a conceptual proposal for protection of the Castle. This work was completed in 2010 and forms the foundation of our recommendations to the Government of Alberta.
CPAWS Southern Alberta chapter is highly involved in the public and stakeholder consultation for the designation of the Castle as a wildland and provincial park and for the management plan. Links to our full comments are in the Resources section below.

Considerations as the NFL's regular-season schedule release nears Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET:
Calculating strength of schedule using records from the previous season has limitations. But as ESPN's John Clayton pointed out, significant swings in schedule strength from one season to the next do seem to influence team records. He sees the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens as teams that might have to play better to avoid losing ground.
The Giants play the NFL's most difficult projected schedule, a first for a Super Bowl champion, according to Elias Sports Bureau. AFC champion New England plays the easiest one. The team with the easiest schedule has missed the playoffs in each of the last five seasons. That includes the Patriots in 2008, when they finished 11-5 without Tom Brady, who was injured. The Arizona Cardinals have missed the playoffs three times in the last five years while playing the NFL's easiest projected schedule. Last season, the Patriots went 13-3 against the second-easiest schedule.
The St. Louis Rams and Minnesota Vikings play the toughest home schedules at .563. Neither team appears equipped to win many games on the road. Tough combination.
This schedule marks the 11th since the NFL realigned into eight four-team divisions, welcoming the Houston Texans as the 32nd franchise in 2002. Since then, 27 franchises have claimed at least one of the 80 division titles available. A reflection of parity's rise? Sorry. Twenty-seven franchises claimed at least one of the 60 division titles available from 1992-2001, when there were six divisions and between 28-31 teams.
OK, but has the distribution of those division titles changed significantly? Again, not really. Three teams won 30 percent of division titles from 1992 to 2001 (Pittsburgh, Dallas and San Francisco each have six). Three teams won 27.5 percent of division titles in the subsequent decade (New England has eight and Pittsburgh and Indianapolis have seven apiece).
The Patriots and Rams can expect bye weeks to recover from their overseas trips to face one another in London. That is reasonable, but consider this: The distance New England will travel for its game against the Rams -- 3,250 air miles each way -- only moderately exceeds the 2,720 miles Seattle will travel for its game against Miami.
This schedule features rematches for eight of 11 postseason games from last season: Giants-Packers, Steelers-Broncos, Giants-Falcons, 49ers-Saints, Broncos-Patriots, Ravens-Texans, Giants-49ers and Patriots-Ravens. The major differences this time around: Peyton Manning instead of Tim Tebow in Denver; no Sean Payton in New Orleans; the return of Matt Schaub to the lineup in Houston; and Randy Moss' reincarnation in San Francisco.
The three playoff games from last season without 2012 rematches: Giants-Patriots, Lions-Saints and Bengals-Texans. Note: Thanks to MemBirdman for the heads up on Giants-Packers.
Spending 42.1875 seconds analyzing each of the 256 games on the schedule would require three hours, or the time ESPN and NFL Network have set aside for their schedule announcement shows.
One matchup date is already set. The Cowboys and Giants open the regular season on Wednesday, Sept. 5, making this the ninth consecutive year that the Super Bowl champion has kicked off the season at home in prime time.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — An extra-alarm fire raged for hours at the Hunts Point Market in the Bronx Wednesday.
The fire broke out in a warehouse full of stock, according to FDNY Deputy Assistant Chief James Daly. A call for the fire came in around 11:15 a.m. Wednesday.
Firefighters had to force their way into the complex, Daly said. The heat was so high in the warehouse that there were concerns over possible structural collapse, he said.
The FDNY said there were no civilian injuries in the fire. One firefighter suffered serious injuries and eight others had minor injuries. All were taken to area hospitals.
The flames also spread into the office areas above the warehouse storage area as well. The blaze went to four alarms, with 170 firefighters responding.
The fire was placed under control around 3 p.m.

Wisconsin Historical Society Press publishes some great Badger State books for adults on everything from bowling alleys to bars, history to nature to sports and more. But, the Madison-based publisher also dishes up new titles each year in its great Badger Biographies series for young readers ages 7 and up.The series has nearly two dozen titles, spotlighting Curly Lambeau, Frank Lloyd Wright, Bob La Follette, Les Paul and many others. What's nice is that the books, which are illustrated, are invariably well-written and never talk down to young readers. I'm especially excited by the two newest titles, which focus on Milwaukee legends.
"Father Groppi: Marching for Civil Rights" - written by Stuart Stotts, who also wrote books in the series on Lucius Fairchild and Lambeau - traces the story of one of the state's most influential Italian Americans. Groppi was born to Tuscan emigrants in Bay View, and went on to become an outspoken supporter of Civil Rights.
In addition to explaining Groppi's work in the fights for fair housing and desegregated schools, the book also looks at Milwaukee's neighborhood's, Groppi's early life, the great migration from the south to the north and the national Civil Rights movement.
The publisher tapped Barbara Manger and Janine Smith for "Mary Nohl: A Lifetime in Art." The two also wrote a book for adults about Nohl a couple years ago.
Nohl is the late artist who made her unique home on Milwaukee's North Shore; the Fox Point home has come to be called the witch's house, though Nohl was no witch.
No, Nohl was a prolific creator of colorful, fanciful artworks. That work, along with her mystique helped define her as Milwaukee's premier outsider artist. This biography explores her life and her work, adding a great section of color photographs of her work and a glossary of terms for young readers, too.
Both titles belong in any Milwaukee kid's library. (Bobby Tanzilo, OnMilwaukee.com)
"Like its predecessor, "Mary Nohl: A Lifetime in Art" is thoughtfully written and generously illustrated with examples of Nohl's artwork. No school or public library in southeastern Wisconsin should be without it; parents with children interested in art should consider picking it up for summer reading." (Jim Higgins of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

Liberty of the Seas Cruise Review by nurse1sue: great cruise
Overall Member Rating
great cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Left Fort Lauderdale on 1/16 for our 5 night cruise on the Liberty of the Seas. The first 2 days out were cloudy and breezy but it was just good to be on the ship. Our booking agent upgraded us to a very nice inside family stateroom which we really enjoyed. Our first stop was Labadee which we had been to before and I just stayed on the ship. I like coco Cay much better. The second story was falmouth Jamaica where we did a tour. It was OK but our tour guide was wonderful. I felt Jamaica was really run down and think I'd probably stay on the ship next time. We did get a look at Keith Richards house which was cool. All in all a great cruise with our favorite Royal Caribbean.
Had a really nice meet and greet with other cruise critic members our first full day at sea and a fun slot pull together our final day at sea.thanks again to notagoddess and tobyhilda for all your hard work.
Will be booking another cruise for this fall and hope to meet new cruise critic members! Less

The tax passed despite donations of $243,500 by rental car companies, and spending by opponents of $270,677, including $33,500 on polling and $72,190 on TV advertising.
The Elections Office would undertake a recount only if someone requested it within a five-day window after the election is certified, Elections Manager David Tom said in an interview. Certification must take place within 28 days of the complete and final count of all ballots.
There is no threshold below which a recount becomes automatic. "We've had contests that are much closer than (197 votes)," Mr. Tom said.
Measure T imposes a 2.5 percent tax on the gross receipts of vehicle rental companies in unincorporated parts of the county, including San Francisco International Airport. The companies would be expected to pass the tax on to customers, mostly visitors.
Measure T was one of three deficit-reducing measures the Board of Supervisors proposed for the coming fiscal year, which starts July 1. The measure is expected to raise about $7.75 million and lower the county's projected deficit to $33 million for the fiscal year.
Voters defeated the other two measures — U and X — that would have added another $5.2 million a year to the county's annual revenues. Each failed with about 53 percent casting "no" votes.
To cover the deficit and balance the $1.83 billion spending plan for the 2012-13 fiscal year, the county will draw down its reserves to about $160 million, Budget Director Jim Saco told the Almanac.
Measure U would have raised the hotel and motel occupancy tax rate in unincorporated parts of the county to 12 percent from its current 10 percent, raising about $200,000 a year.
Measure X would have raised an estimated $5 million by imposing an 8 percent tax on commercial parking facilities located in unincorporated parts of the county, including SFO.
Big spenders
Opponents to the tax measures organized as a committee with the name: "No on T, X and U, Taxpayers for a Strong Economy, Sponsored by the Local Tourism Industry."
Campaign finance forms show two donors: Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company of San Francisco, which gave $218,500, and Hertz Corporation, which gave $25,000.
A late filing shows another $155,000 loan from the committee itself, and Enterprise gave $10,000 in in-kind contributions in legal services.
The committee spent a total of $270,677, including $33,500 for polling, $26,933 for professional services, $22,500 for campaign consulting, and $72,190 on TV advertising, the reports show.

I wake up early with a mission. I want to get as close to Lüneburg as possible. I have breakfast, break up camp and start hitting the road. This is the route I'm taking: Jesteburg, Hanstedt, Garlstorf, Salzhausen, Westergellersen. It's beautiful walk. I take regular stops and even have a proper siesta. When I put up camp between Westergellersen and Kirchgellersen, there's only 14 kilometre left to Lüneburg. I can do that ...

Social skills are important, and in order for children to develop socially they need to interact with their peers, and adults in a socially acceptable way. As parents it's our job to ensure our children have a healthy social development. Sure providing your toddler with love and attention is an essential part of bonding, but we play a huge part in teaching our children social skills. They learn sharing, not interrupting, taking turns, saying please, etc. by everyday interactions. For many children social skills are learned.
Being a busy mother of four my playtime creativity is often on empty, and now that the winter months are here it's worse because my toddler and I are stuck in doors more. To be honest the winter is my favorite time of year, but this year I have not been looking forward to being stuck inside with my daughter. I don't want Mattie sitting in front of the TV for the majority of the day, or sitting around being bord. So I have been on the lookout for things fun ways to help my daughter grow and learn, without her getting tired of doing the same thing day after day.
I recently started using an app, which is filled with fun ways to help infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with their social development and other much-needed things to do with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Yesterday I used he app and did a few of the social development activities, and other development boosting activities for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.
7 Fun Ways To Help Your Toddler With Social Development
How Do You Do – Act like you are a guest coming into your child's home. Stand on one side of the closet, bedroom door, or use a huge box with her on the other and knock while standing on the other side of the door or closet. When you're toddler answers, very nicely shake her hand and go through the introduction process. This can also turn into other fun things such as a tea party, or restaurant game. Madisyn loved paying this game, she is now playing it with her older sister too.
Meet and Greet – Sit on the floor with you toddler, and bring you're toddlers favorite stuffed animal, and shake hands with it. Then let Mattie shake hands. Next give the stuffed animal a high-five, and let Mattie repeat the process.
My Feelings – Sit down with your toddler and look at a magazine. While you're looking at the magazine point out different facial expressions, then ask your toddler to make a face depending on her mood, such as "Happy" or "Sad". Look for expressions that your toddler can identify, and have fun!
Yes or No – Sit down on the floor with your toddler, and bring out several of their favorite stuffed animals. Then ask each animal a yes or no question and have your toddler help make the decisions, and explain why. Be sure when asking the questions they are questions your toddler can understand. This will teach them social development, as well as language development.
Tea Party – I'm really excited to try this one with Mattie tomorrow, she always loves playing tea party. Now its tea party for social development, but don't tell her she's learning something while doing it. First set up a little table and chairs, before sitting down to your tea party gently knock next to the table and chair and ask you if can come in. Have you toddler invite you in, and offer you tea. Be sure and be a polit guest, by saying please and thank you often.
Kitty Town – Put a large basket over 2 chairs and make a tent. Pretend to be mommy and daddy cat and have your toddler be the kitten. You can play with yard balls, dangling items, hunt for mice, and cuddle together. Then ask her to come up with a different scenario, and act it out with your toddler.
Mystery Agent – Grab a pile of adults clothing and compile a variety of adult's clothes and accessories. Dress your toddler up, and give her a new name, let's say they change their name to Sandy. Then stand in front of the mirror together pointing out all the cool items the NEW Sandy is wearing.

T-155 Fırtına (Storm) is a Turkish 155mm self-propelled howitzer based on the K9 Thunder by Samsung Techwin.
Though essentially using the subsystems of the K9 howitzer, including the South Korean designed 155/52 caliber gun system and automatic ammunition feeding mechanism, and the German designed MTU-881 KA 500 diesel engine, the T-155 has considerable differences in its turret design, parts of the chassis, the navigation system, and electronic systems (such as the radio and fire control system) which were developed in Turkey. Unlike the K9, T-155 Fırtına lacks commander's digital panoramic sight. Through the Inertial Navigation System produced by ASELSAN the howitzer is able to determine the coordinates of the targets at 17.5 meters deviation. Fırtına can open fire within 30 seconds.[3]
According to the licence agreement with Samsung Techwin, the first eight T-155s were built in South Korea, while the remaining batch of more than 300 units would be produced in Turkey.[4] The total reported cost of purchase and technology transfer for the Turkish government was $1 billion.[5]
The T-155 Fırtına has a maximum firing range of 40 km, depending on the type of ammunition. It can reach a top speed of 66 km/h and has an operational range of 480 km.
The T-155 howitzers are built at the 1st Army Maintenance Center Command of the Turkish Army in Adapazarı. Cannon is produced in Kirikkale facility of MKEK.[6] The production rate of the T-155 is 24 units per year. From 2001 to December 2009, more than 150 units have been delivered to the Turkish Army. A total of 350 T-155 Fırtına howitzers are planned to be produced.[7]
Ammunition Resupply Vehicle[edit]
Recent developments have been made within Turkey to develop an indigenous Ammunition Resupply Vehicle based on T-155 Fırtına, the vehicles will have an Ammunition Transfer System similar to that of the South Korean K10 ARV. This vehicle will have a boom that is extended towards the rear of the T-155 Fırtına turret where the exchange will take place. The Turkish ARV will have an Auxiliary Power Unit unlike the K10 ARV, which allows the vehicle's crew to use electronics, communication systems and an Ammunition Transfer System to run economically without the main engines being turned on.[8]
The Turkish Armed Forces has placed an order to manufacture 350 vehicles in total with 24 vehicles rolling off of the assembly line every year.
Talks were held with the Azerbaijani government regarding the purchase and sale of the military equipment. The sides were expected to sign the contract by the end of 2011.[9] A contract for 36 T-155 howitzers was signed in 2011, but was delayed due to complications regarding the German production of the engines and an embargo on Azerbaijan connected to conflict with neighboring Armenia. It was later reported that deliveries would start in 2014.[10]
Current operators[edit]
Operational history[edit]
The T-155 Fırtına was first deployed in Operation Sun at the end of 2007 into January 2008 to fight the PKK militants in the northern part of Iraq.[12]
The T-155 was used in 2012 Syrian–Turkish border clashes and again in Jarabulus offensive (2016).

Slamdance Coverage International Interviews Festival Videos Sci-Fi Action Movies How ScreenAnarchy Works
SAKURAN Director Mika Ninagawa Returns With HELTER SKELTER
Photographer turned director Mika Ninagawa is returning to the big screen with an adaptation of the 2003 manga Helter Skelter. Her first film, Sakuran back in 2007, found a lot of favor among the writers here at ScreenAnarchy.
The film also marks the return to the big screen of Jill of all trades - Erika Sawajiri. The actress, model, gravure model and pop singer fell out of favor with Japan's entertainment industry after a less than adequate appearance during a press conference at the Pusan International Film Festival in 2007.
So after a near five year absence from the big screen it will be interesting to see what Ninagawa and Sawajiri bring for us. I expect dazzling and sumptuous visuals from Ninagawa. I expect... good looks... from Sawajiri?The story revolves around a woman named Ririko (Sawajiri), a top model in the entertainment industry. However, her perfect beauty has been attained entirely through plastic surgery, a secret that she cannot reveal to anyone.
Additional cast include "Omori Nao as a prosecutor investigating an incident at the clinic where Ririko underwent surgery, Terajima Shinobu as Ririko's manager, Mizuhara Kiko as a younger model, Kubozuka Yosuke as Ririko's boyfriend, Momoi Kaori as the president of Ririko's agency, and Harada Mieko as the head of the clinic. Ayano Go, Arai Hirofumi, Suzuki Anne, Terajima Susumu, and Aikawa Sho have also been cast".

Moise, Kenneth J. Jr MD
Hemolytic disease of the newborn secondary to rhesus alloimmunization was once a major contributor to perinatal morbidity and mortality. Today, rhesus immune globulin has markedly decreased the prevalence of this disease so that only one to six cases occur in every 1000 live births. The rarity of this condition warrants consideration of consultation or referral to a maternal‐fetal medicine specialist. Once sensitization occurs, rhesus immune globulin is no longer effective. Evaluation for the presence of maternal anti‐D antibody should be undertaken at the first prenatal visit. First‐time sensitized pregnancies are followed with serial maternal titers and, when necessary, serial amniocenteses to detect fetal bilirubin by ΔOD450. In cases of a heterozygous paternal genotype, new deoxyribonucleic acid techniques now make it possible to diagnose the fetal blood type through amniocentesis or even from plasma/serum deoxyribonucleic acid analysis. When there is a history of an affected fetus or infant, maternal titers are no longer diagnostic as a screening test. Serial peak middle cerebral artery velocities using Doppler ultrasound can be used in these pregnancies to detect fetal anemia. In some situations, intrauterine transfusion is necessary through ultrasound‐directed puncture of the umbilical cord with the direct intravascular injection of red cells. Perinatal survival rates of more than 90% have been reported; hydrops fetalis reduces the chance for a viable outcome by up to 25%. Immediate neonatal outcome is complicated by the need for repeated transfusions secondary to suppressed erythropoiesis. Long‐term studies have revealed normal neurologic outcomes in more than 90% of cases. Future therapy will involve selective modulation of the maternal immune system making the need for intrauterine transfusions a rarity.

This Is a Certified Answer
Science has really done wonders for all of us and our lives. Science has discovered laws, has invented many new products. Engineers, doctors, and scientists have made a number of gadgets and appliances for use at homes, in offices or in industries. Without science it is difficult to imagine what our like would be like.
Science continues to make our life easier, healthier and safer. Long ago people lived in darkness in the night and did not much know about other countries. Now people have flown to the Moon. The enormous development on the Earth has been possible due to dedicated scientists and sharing of knowledge.
When I say science, it means mathematical, physical, chemical, biological and medical sciences. The way we use Science, leads to some important side-effects effects: global warming, pollution, chemical weapons etc. Unfortunately, science cannot prevent these side effects and potential risks.
In future science will advance more in each area and will contribute to improve quality of our life in each small aspect. Advances in medical science are making our life span longer and healthier. Use of energy and resources will hopefully become rational and more efficient. We will be able to eat high quality food and drink high quality water.
In future the science will make the man do wonders that are perhaps not possible to imagine now. Huge amounts are being invested on scientific researches. More and more jobs and professions may evolve due to science.
Is the man going to help the
mankind more in future? At times one wonders if science will make our life more
complicated. It is a good question that only future can answer. But I am optimistic that future will be better.
