2013 Summer TV: Premiere Dates Of Your Favourite Shows
Ah, summer TV. Throughout recent history, summer on the boob tube has been known as a wasteland, where lame TV shows are relegated until cancellation, or popular TV shows are featured in endless repeat cycles.
That's not so much the case anymore. Some shows run for the entire year, while others start up as the warmer weather hits, so sometimes it's difficult to know when things are premiering or coming back.
For this reason, we've created a handy collection of all shows coming back/premiering in the summer of 2013 (with Canadian channels listed, where applicable).

We left Hamburg behind and drove to a little town called Schwerin, as recommended by the lonely planet. A charming little place and worth the drive. It is set in an area full of lakes, so many people can not agree on the number. The biggest attraction has to be Schwerin Castle, more like a place, but beautiful none the less. It is huge and right on the main lake, very ornate.
After wandering around the local market and eating a bratwurst and currywurst (currywurst very tasty!) we looked at the little town, and decided on a boat cruise around the lake. It was nice and relaxed until 20 10 year olds came on it too! We had a lemon beer, which was nice and refreshing and watched the scenery for an hour or so and oaked up the sun.
We decided to drive on to Lubeck that afternoon, must keep moving so much to see
The old town its self is not very big, and lonely took a few hrs to wander through. Nothing stood out as being too amazing, but the old town gate/fortress was rather old and cool, and the old hospital which was one of the first in Europe was rather interesting. The hospital was set in what you could describe as a large hall with a church attached. Inside was a huge cavernous roof, with heaps of tiny little rooms made out of wood. I tell you, you think you never have enough room in the rooms today, you could fit four of these rooms inside one of the rooms on T15!
We stayed overnight at a little place called Loose, near the Danish boarder. The drive was lovely, through green fields and rolling hills. There are also these fields of yellow flowers (if anyone knows what they are please let us know) so many here. We saw them in France, but there are far more here, as far as you look these fields of yellow mix with the green, it is beautiful. As we were driving near the coast, sometimes it would be a field of green then yellow then blue sea, it was a nice day getting here.
The camp site here is amusing, a lot of the caravans are permanent ones, they have good set ups, with fences and shade cloths and BBQs and drive ways..... it is crazy, they have flag poles with different flags at the top. I think they settle in for the entire summer once they are here. It is on a beach and it is quiet nice, but nothing like the beaches at home. Still to cold to swim, but we are in shorts and t-shirts most of the time. Off to Denmark now. See you soon.

FARMINGTON >>As Sandy moves north, preparations are in high gear to ready for the storm.
"The Red Cross is working with the state and communities across Connecticut to make sure our operations are coordinated and resources are in place to help," said American Red Cross spokesperson Paul Shipman. "We urge residents to use the calm hours today to complete preparations at home and to learn about evacuation potential for their communities."
Shipman said that people should have basic supplies at home to last for at least three days:
First Aid kit
Non-perishable food (such as canned vegetables and fruit, energy bars, canned tuna)
Water for drinking and preparing food (one gallon per person per day)
Flashlight, radio and batteries
Shipman said these basics will help people who need to shelter-in-place for a period of time during and after the storm.
Some communities have issued mandatory evacuation orders; others have urged voluntary evacuations. If you are asked to evacuate, Shipman said, heed the orders. "Evacuation orders are not made lightly. If your community asks you to leave, they are doing so in the interest of your safety. Take it seriously."
If you are required to evacuate, Shipman suggested important items to bring to an evacuation shelter:
Pillows, bedding, sleeping bag or mat
Any prescriptions or maintenance medications you need on a regular basis
Toiletries and a change of clothes
If you are planning to leave your home, take copies of important documents, such as insurance policies and property records. "It can help in making claims in the wake of an emergency," Shipman said.
Do not forget pets in your planning. Have adequate food and water for pets as well. If you are leaving home, do not abandon your pets. Make sure family or friends outside the risk area are able to host you as well as your pets. If you are looking at hotels along an evacuation route, ask about their pet policies.
If you are evacuating to a shelter, 211 Info Line is the best place for up-to-date information. Call 211 for shelters in your area or visit www.211ct.org, where you can find storm links, including a listing of available shelters, as well as links to your town's emergency planning office.
Shipman said that, if your other preparations are complete, there are additional steps to take:
o Register your mobile phone and email addresses at www.ctalert.gov to receive emergency messages from the State of Connecticut.

Demi Lovato's Best Beauty Moments!
To get Jennifer's 'do in the film, try these steps from TRESemmé stylist Jeanie Syfu.
1. Prep hair with TRESemmé Flawless Curls Extra Hold Mousse to enhance texture. Then create waves by curling hair vertically with a one and one-fourth-inch iron.
3. Finger comb your hair with an anti-frizz cream and loosely pull hair to one side, in front of your shoulder.
4. Make two sections, then two smaller sections from the outside working in (the smaller your sections, the more intricate your fishtail braid will be. The two outside sections should be smaller, and the two middle sections bigger).
5. Pull a smaller strand over one of the larger sections, then under the other large section.
6. Repeat this step from the other side and continue the weaving pattern all the way down the length of your hair and fasten with an elastic. You can pull out a few strands to frame your face for a more relaxed look.
TIP: While braiding, remember that the tension in your hand plays a big part in how your finished braid will look. The tighter your grip, the more polished and neat it will look, whereas the looser your grip, the more undone and piece-y it will be.
To get Zooey Deschanel's look, try these steps from Pepper Pastor, L'Oréal Professionnel Master Session Artist.
1. Apply L'Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Reinforcing Milk to leave hair bouncy with brilliant shine.
2. Then, blow dry hair with a large, round brush and fringe your bangs with your fingers from side to side to create movement.
3. Once hair is dry, quickly round the ends of your bangs under with your brush, being careful not to lift it upwards, or you'll have '80s ice skater bangs!
Tip: For awesome, Jess-style bangs, have your stylist trim hair to below the brow line, for a slightly longer look with a bit of texture.

Something I wrote recently that has received some good traction. Thought people here may find it interesting. Basically, a look at the humble fleece jacket that many of us here have eschewed at times in favor of more 'sexy' items like soft shell or puffies.
Thrust of the article is that a simple fleece jacket may be more appropriate in certain conditions.
Anyway, just came out my experiences in the past few years.Apr 8, 2013 at 5:07 pm #1974181

I'm wrapping up a 16 month comparison of fleece, down and primaloft for an article at the moment, and find it difficult to come to the conclusion that expensive fill coats are worthwhile. The caveat is that this does not hold true for winter coats (iclo of ~2 or more), where down is just about the only reasonable option.Apr 8, 2013 at 5:41 pm #1974201

I liked this article. I've stayed on board for fleece. This forum actually helped me settle on an Arcteryx fleece earlier this year, although the Patagonia R1 stuff is tempting.
It's probably a useless hang-up, but I prefer synthetic insulation over down in all forms— fleece/puffy/sleeping bag —because I'm in what feels like a particularly wet area of the northeast. There's something about the moisture management that really appeals.
Of course, what I would find interesting is a comparison of heavyweight merino wool from Ibex or the like against fleece. That would be interesting.Apr 8, 2013 at 5:50 pm #1974211
R1 is the bees knees, I have two pullovers a hoodie and a vest, also really like my Montane Jackal Powerstretch pro piece.
Up unti last year I hiked mainly in Ireland and Scotland where it rained an awful lot and never got a down bag wet from rain (sweat yes), I do agree that synthetic clothing ala primaloft and the like make a lot of sense in very wet environment, during winter I carry a light weight synthehic and down combo.Apr 8, 2013 at 5:53 pm #1974214

Fleece is relatively cheap, durable (it doesn't leak if you tear it), easy to launder (low heat!!!) and works great in cool soggy environments. If you are in a boat of any kind, it is the only way to fly. You can sleep in it comfortably too.
It doesn't compress well and the weight/loft isn't as good as down, but a down jacket needs a finely woven shell to keep the feathers (and sweat) in, where a fleece will breath and transport moisture out to evaporate. You can stand around in camp with your fleece to cut the chill and cap it with a shell if the wind comes up. Fleece and windshirts or rain shells are the perfect system. I have pull-overs, hoodies, "cardigans", and vests in several weights.
Did I mention that I like fleece? :)
BTW, I tried a couple soft shell jackets this winter and found them useless. Great around town, but just a cold boat anchor on the trail. I finally came to the conclusion that they fit in the same slot as a Levi jacket, but synthetic instead of cotton. A windshirt and a 100w fleece will kick any soft shell in the derriere.Apr 8, 2013 at 5:56 pm #1974216

As near as I have been able to tell, softshells are just fleece with special napping and DWR. Not worth the premium price when a regular fleece can be layered under varying shells just as well. Fleece socks are also nice. Don't have to worry about sweating them out and waking up with cold feet like down booties.Apr 8, 2013 at 5:59 pm #1974217
Yep, a fleece and windshirt does the trick.Apr 8, 2013 at 6:01 pm #1974219

Sounds like a great article is in the works. I usually carry a 100 WT fleece vest or jumper. For me it is a bit of an insurance policy for the weather we can get in NZ. It's also nice to put on if everything else is wet at the end of a day when it has rained non-stop.Apr 8, 2013 at 6:06 pm #1974221

Nice article Paul. I don't own a softshell as of yet but my hardshell was horrible for snowshoeing this past winter. Like you mentioned in your article, the pit zips help but I'm glad I wasn't forced to figure out a way to dry out my gear afterwards.
After reading your article, I'm now thinking about a fleece / windshirt combo in lieu of a soft shell for snowshoeing. Thoughts?Apr 8, 2013 at 6:08 pm #1974222

I don't get people who hike in puffies. They get compressed on the back and shoulders, synthetic fill will flatten with time, and down is super sensitive to moisture. I only see them being useful at night around camp.Apr 8, 2013 at 6:11 pm #1974225

I am all about the fleece and windshirt combo for winter. I don't snowshoe, but I am an avid Nordic skier and find this is the combo that works for me.
For an in-depth look at this system, go to this link:
The short version is that (at least in the dry cold of Colorado, not as familiar with winters in the PNW) is that the fluffy snow is shed quite easily. A wind shirt is breathable and lets out moisture.
I actually use an old school anorak. Complete with a kangaroo pouch. :) Think I paid $20 for it. Similar to this:
For fleece I already mentioned the reasons why I use it.
But here are some real world examples:
I remember one very cold and dry day in January. My buddy d-low and I were ski touring. His shell was COATED with frost inside. I had a layer of frost from my sweat that had sublimated on the outside of my fleece but was otherwise warm and dry inside. I noticed my buddy started skiing in a fleece after that day. :)
On a recent winter backpacking trip, the old school wool pants, fleece and anorak was amusing at first. Then everyone saw how well it worked. ;)
In any case, the fleece jacket and wind breaker combo works very well in winter. At least for me.
Now, for three season backpacking, I still prefer a puffy layer for breaks and at night (esp with my quilt). I rarely hike in my core insulation layer so the puffy layer works well. Because I do backpack in the Rockies and desert southwest, where it tends to be cooler and drier, I prefer to carry something more compact and lighter then fleece.
Nice to have choices! :)Apr 8, 2013 at 6:38 pm #1974238
I treated all my fleece clothing with this stuff recently and it works very well.

And we may just get another chance tomorrow, assuming this rain turns to snow. I'm a big fan of my R1 fleece and will check out Melanzana's version too. Maybe it's my fault, but every fleece I've bought over the years except the R1 has fit me like a sack of potatoes. That includes Patagonia and (pre-sellout) TNF. I guess that's why I gave up on fleece before the Y2K bug. Who makes fleece for non-couch potatoes these days?Apr 8, 2013 at 6:43 pm #1974240

Andrew Skurka said he has gone back to fleece for hiking in cold wet conditions. I believe he said he would take one if he went back to Alaska for example. The idea is that if you are out in cold wet weather long enough you will get wet eventually. When this happens a fleece under your raincoat keeps you warmer, absorbs less water and will dry quickly once the rain stops.
I still use my puffy on summer trips. Normally I only need insulation in camp when I'm not moving around. I sort of copied Andrew's idea though by using a long sleave synthetic shirt under my raincoat (it was too warm for a fleece). It seemed to work pretty well. It got somewhat moist but kept me warm and dried quickly.Apr 8, 2013 at 6:48 pm #1974242
IanBPL Member
I'm probably making a distinction in my mind between windshirts and windbreakers which doesn't need to be there. So far I've been using my hardshell for double duty and haven't purchased a windshirt yet. I was considering a softshell but now I'm more inclined to buy a windshirt. I keep hearing that they breathe much better so it's time for me to find out.
I'm glad you mentioned the liabilities of the fleece with a built in wind shell as that was one option I was considering but for now I've tabled that idea.Apr 8, 2013 at 6:56 pm #1974248

I wear fleece a lot but not when I'm backpacking. The warmth for the weight isn't good. For the same weight, I can get a much warmer synthetic or down.
But, that assumes that while hiking I can wear just base layer and jacket and stay warm, down to 25 F or so.
Synth or down while hiking is too warm so you'll sweat. Below that temperature, which is about 25 F for me, then fleece is great.Apr 8, 2013 at 7:03 pm #1974251

A windshirt is just a lightweight windbreaker. The concept is the same: prevent heat loss from wind and get some protection from light precip. Breathability is key. Get a Houdini and don't look back :)
Softshell jackets are heavy and cold. A 100w fleece and a windshirt are warmer than the Patagonia Super Guide jacket that I **had**. I tried a Millet too. Like I said, they are like a polyester Levi jacket to me.
What I can't logically reconcile is that I really like soft shell pants. Maybe there are differences in the fabrics, but they work for me on cold rainy days.Apr 8, 2013 at 8:34 pm #1974299

Spending summers in Denali (think days of 40s-50s, constant rain and wind, and helpin' spoonfuls of soak-you-to-the-bone bushwhacking) and winters in Western Oregon (think the same minus the schwhacking) taught me to love fleece. In those conditions, you're going to be and stay wet. If you generate enough body heat to stay warm when soaked and have the stamina to never stop moving in order to continue generating that heat, more power to you. I found that I didn't. I also found that synthetic insulation worked well when damp but sucked when soaked. So, I started packing ye olde fleece. Low and behold, it actually kept me warm when wet. And wringing it out and throwing it back on removed a significant amount of water, at least for awhile.
So, yeah, if you recreate in conditions that allow you to stay warm and dry enough that you don't need insulation while moving, pack the puffy. But for wet, cool/cold conditions, fleece is awesome. The minor increase in weight and packed volume is so very worth being able to actually enjoy trips in continuously wet weather.Apr 8, 2013 at 9:10 pm #1974309

If you don't need it in your bag/quilt at night it does make a great pillow. Another positive for the lack of compressibility.

hahaha the Packer fan smoking a cig enjoying ever second of it.
Rocksmith is a really cool concept. I'm also a lefyt, but..."learned" to play right out of necessity. Getting a left guitar is extremely expensive, so youre better off forcing yourself to play right-handed. I put learned in quotes because I never actually got lessons...lol
But anyway....I thing Rocksmith is a really neat way to teach yourself, so long as you already have a guitar, etc.

Maj. Tim Howerton '09
Commencement Close-up: Maj. Tim Howerton is ready to recruit more physician assistants
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(May 27, 2009)--Maj. Tim Howerton loves being a physician assistant with the U.S. Air Force. And with the spring 2009 completion of his M.Ed. in educational leadership and policy studies in the UTSA College of Education and Human Development, he's ready to bring new recruits into his profession.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Howerton's particular focus in the UTSA program was in higher education administration. Next month, he will join the faculty of the Interservice Physician Assistant Program at Fort Sam Houston. IPAP trains physician assistants from all branches of the uniformed services.
"There are around 140 physician assistant programs in the U.S. and IPAP is consistently ranked in the top 10 each year," Howerton says.
Although he joined the service in 1982, he did not apply to train for working as a physician assistant until 1990.
"I had served in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and I was involved in patient care. But I wanted to be more hands-on, so I applied. I just took to it," says the former air commando. From 2000 to 2004, Howerton served as director of medical operations for 16th Special Operations Squadron based at Hurlburt Field in Florida.
Of his time in special ops, Howerton says, "I really miss that, but it's for younger guys."
Before coming to UTSA, Howerton was stationed at Tyndall Air Force Base where he was flight commander, the equivalent to chief of family practice in a civilian clinic, for both the Family Practice Clinic and the Women's Health Clinic.
Although an experienced PA, Howerton came to UTSA to learn more about the field of higher education. "Interacting with teachers and administrators opened my eyes to the culture and systems of higher ed," Howerton said. As part of his program, he completed a four-month internship at the University of Texas Health Science at San Antonio. The master's program in higher education administration, which welcomed its first students in 2007, has more than doubled its enrollment in the past two years.
Howerton will begin his new job at Fort Sam Houston in June.

It ain't first, but it's still good...now excuse me, whilst I go wipe the sweat from my freneticishist typing fingers.
Arcade Fire announced they will stream their August 5 show at Madison Square Garden online. link
Shit Robot, the godfather of DFA Records, will be releasing his debut album on September 21. I've heard it and it's massive and you can have a remix of I Found Love from TBD. Yes.

Remember when Victor Cruz went un drafted, and all the "know it alls" were screaming "why didn't we take this guy" (red font)...now he's the best thing since sliced bread. Give Randle a chance. Besides we can now talk about how Barden's days are numbered.

A person buys concert tickets on Groupon for $20 (a $40 value!), then sells them on Craigslist for $30. Working the system in their favor, the person groupawned the concert tickets, enjoying them self a $10 profit.

SSG Donald Sutton
Meet a lifesaver
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - One man is a force to be reckoned with anything when it comes to anything mechanical and is a life saver, too. Staff Sgt Donald Sutton is a humble guy at Fort Carson. He's also a life saver. Up until now, we never publicly knew those moments that led up to a chapter in his life that he will never forget.
March 29th of last year, Donald Sutton was on I-25 near Fountain. He saw a multi-vehicle accident that also involved a semi truck. He told me that he thought the semi was going to go through the guard rail. Sutton stopped his car, got out and did what his military training taught him to do, "I heard the truck driver yell that the door is jammed closed. He can't get it open. We saw the fire on the passenger side and my main concern is that he is out and no one else was in the truck." Donald told me he and others got this trucker safely down the embankment. The man he saved suffered some smoke inhalation and bumps and bruises, but other than that he walked away from the accident.
SSG Donald Sutton has been in the military for 21 years, been deployed three times and said, "What you learn about how to react in a wartime situation will actually benefit you in a civilian environment. Sutton is getting ready to retire, be a civilian and take on that new challenge. He's already a great tank mechanic. Now, he wants to learn the in's and outs of computers. He's going to school to get that education and become an instructor with the Wounded Warrior Project.
SSG Donald Sutton is currently assigned to Kilo Company, 64th Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team and he is also a proud member of our Wear Friday Heroes.

Visa and Passport Information for U.S. Citizens
You will need a valid passport for all of Tarleton's study abroad programs. If you already have a passport, check the expiration date to be sure it hasn't expired or won't expire while you are abroad. If you don't have a passport, you should obtain one as soon as possible. It can take up to six weeks to obtain a passport. Don't wait until the last minute!
To obtain or renew a U.S. passport, you first need to complete the application, so pick one up from the County Clerk's Office or download the application from the following web site: http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html
When you submit your application, you'll need:
- Proof of US citizenship (photocopies are not acceptable)
- Certified U.S. Birth Certificate
- Previous U.S. Passport
- Consular Report of Birth Abroad
- Certificate of Naturalization/Citizenship
- Photo Identification (one of the following)
- Valid Driver's License
- Undamaged U.S. Passport (if issued less than 15 years ago)
- Certificate of Naturalization
- Valid government ID (city, state, or federal)
- Valid Military ID
- A passport size photograph (Photos taken at the Office of International Programs for a $4.33 charge)
- In color
- 2 x 2 inches in size (5.08 cm x 5.08 cm)
- Printed on thin, photo-quality paper
- Taken within the past 6 months, showing current appearance
- Full face, front view with a plain white or off-white background
- Taken in normal street attire
- Check or money order ($110 for new passport; $55 for a renewal)
- Completed application (see above for Internet address to download application)
- For more passport information or to locate Post Office branches that accept passport applications, call the U.S. Postal Service customer service line at (800) 275-8777.
Once you receive your passport, make a copy of it and keep it in a secure place throughout your stay abroad. Also, leave a copy with someone you trust, such as a parent or guardian. If your passport is lost or stolen, it will be a lot easier and faster to replace if you can provide a copy of the original.
Visa Info for U.S. Citizens
Information on visa requirements for U.S. citizens is available on-line: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/americans-traveling-abroad.html. If you are participating in a Tarleton faculty-led study abroad program, your professor will give you information on visa requirements, if there are any.
Info for Non-U.S. Citizens
If you are an international student, you should check with Dr. Marilyn Robitaille, Director of International Programs, about maintaining your immigration status here in the U.S.
Because, passport and Visa requirements for non-U.S. citizens vary according to the country of citizenship, non-U.S. citizens should contact the appropriate embassy (-ies) to ask about Visa requirements. You can obtain the phone numbers of foreign embassies in U.S. at the following web site: http://www.uae-embassy.org/services-resources/visas-passports/non-us-citizens

Cassava, manioc, tapioca, mang sapharang ...

Whilst sat in the garden this morning I noticed that my favourite orchid was just starting to go over so it must be nearly time to leave.
Bike into Phon Thong and the internet where I book our hotel for Bangkok next Thursday night.
Force myself out to the farm tonight.
A few weeks ago I wrote something about cassava and several people asked me about it. I promised to write some more and can now do just that.
In this part of the country cassava (many names around the world but perhaps tapioca is the better known in UK) is probably the third most popular farm crop after rice and sugar and shortly ahead of rubber
It is self sustaining inasmuch as once the root tubors have been dug up the stems of the plants are cut up into about 1ft lengths and used for replanting for the following year. It amazes me how well it seems to grow without any water at all between November and April. In fact it seems to need little care and attention at all which is probably why it is so popular around here ! Clear the land with the iron buffalo and dig it into ridegs, plant the short stems, take out the weeds every couple of months and Robert's your dad's brother as they say ...
Once the tubors have been dug they are piled high in trucks and taken to the Kalasin Flour Company factory about 25km from here where they are processed into flour. I have passed this factory in the busy season and seen queues of a couple of miles waiting to offload their cargoes at the factory.
Financially it seems to pay little. At last years prices I was told about 2Bht (4p UK) per kilo. 1 rai of land (about 1600 sqm) yields about 2000kg. By the time you have counted in the labour to plant it, dig it out, the cost of the transport to the factory and any fertilizers used, there isnt much left. For the past few years one of Jai's nehpews, Tia, who grows cassava on the land next to our palm trees has actually lost money over the year. When I ask him why he still bothers to plant it he tells me its because that it what he has always done and what is his alternative. I try to explain that he would actually be better off simply not panting the land at all if he doesnt want to try a different crop but he set in his ways ...
Check out http://www.thaitapiocastarch.org/background.asp if you are really keen ?!
We planted a couple of cassava in the garden last year mainly for decorative value and now they are really tall. There are several varieties, some are bitter and cant be eaten but the ones we planted you are supposed to be able to eat - we havent.
I went into the garden this morning and cut the biggest intending to dig out the tubors etc for a photo. The ground is so dry and hard that I soon gave up and left them there to rot.

Original PEET Boot Dryer
Sale price: Clearance price: Starting at: Sale starting at: Clearance starting at: Reg. price:
The Original PEET® Dryer eliminates odors caused by perspiration and bacteria and removes contaminants like viruses and mold that cause skin irritation and deterioration. The patented PEET DryPorts™ circulate air for thorough drying. Gentle thermal convection rises through AirChambers to dry your footwear naturally. Odor-eliminating and odor-controlling products help reduce odors. The use of such products does not guarantee 100% odor elimination. Made in USA.
Manufacturer model #: M97-FSB.
Why PEET Dry?
There's dry, and then there's PEET DRY—a special kind of dry. The authentic, original PEET® Boot Dryer works naturally, using gentle, thermal convection to effectively remove wet, sweat, and odors from shoes, boots, and all types of footwear.
PEET Dry is Comfortable.
You start every day dry and fresh. Simply placing footwear (or other gear) on your PEET Dryer at bedtime means waking up to cozy, warm PEET Dry comfort.
PEET Dry is Healthier.
Dry footwear is healthier for feet. Studies have shown that damp footgear causes blisters and is an ideal environment for fungus growth that results in foot irritations (like athlete's foot, staph infections, or other germs).
PEET Dry Extends the Life of your Gear...
It attacks contaminants—like mold and mildew—that can cause premature deterioration of the materials from which your expensive footwear and gear are made (costing you money).
PEET Dry is Guaranteed.

Thanks so much,
Love your stores and most products,
I can tell you that I live in Louisiana and have purchased the Peet boot dryer from Bass Pro Shops. It is by far the best money that I have spent at Bass Pro. Soaked boots that are put on the dryer at night are ready for wear in the morning. Also none of the stink normally associated with wet boots that are dried naturally.
A great investment!!!!
Add one pair of 6-inch Extensions to extend AirChambers to accommodate boots 10 inches or taller; add one pair of 12-inch Extensions to dry hip boots; add two pairs of 12-inch Extensions for chest waders.

If Aspen Mountain is a Cadill ac Escalade, then Highlands is a Toyota Tacoma: genuine, badass and, yes, expensive, but not on account of frills like plush leather seats. Highlands is a skier's hill, with blood-rushing steeps (nearly 50-degree, no-fall zones in hike-to Highland Bowl), yee-haw trees (Boomerang Woods and Steeplechase) and eye-watering groomers (Gunbarrel and Golden Horn) so deliciously pitched, readers wonder why no one's skiing them. And then there's the laid-back vibe. Where else can you get a free hot dog, grilled by lifties, as you swing through the empty chair maze on a spring afternoon? That's not to say Highlands lacks sophistication— it's just the friendly, worn-in kind. Cloud 9 Bistro, for example, is one of the coziest dining spots this side of the Alps. Readers complain about a lack of, well, everything, at the base. (There's a reason we don't call it a "village.") But hey, if it's shopping you want, drive that Cadillac over to Aspen. —Kimberly Beekman
What's New» The midmountain Merry Go Round restaurant has received a much-needed remodeling—in Highlands' ducttape- chic style.
Must Do » Hike the Bowl. It's 45 minutes for mortals, and the views are divine.

The Digs
Uniting the excitement of its urban environs with a feeling of home, The Orenco Hotel is a peppy, pristine boutique lodging mere steps from the town center. High thread-count linens and shiny white duvets cover soft queen-size beds inside comfortable guest rooms that include Wi-Fi and in-room coffee-and-tea service.

To anyone who still visits, it's probably apparent that I haven't written a blog post in a very long time. It's been almost three months since the last post, and I can't see myself posting again anytime soon.
I just don't have anything to say here anymore.
So I've decided it's time to retire poor ol' Blog Ing.
Not without a pang — I'm fond of this little space on the web, dusty and unused though it is. There was a time when it was a hopping little place. But blogging isn't as interesting as it once was, and I'm pretty sure any readers I have left can see the difference on the few occasions that I do write something here.
Sometime in the next few weeks — when I get around to it — I'll archive the content and shut the doors.
I won't be turning out the lights completely, however (I still own the domain and have hosting). I'm getting serious about my job search, and a fully developed portfolio website will be a lot more impressive than emailing a few PDFs when someone asks to see my portfolio.
Heck, a year or so from now I might even reinvent this as a place for people to land when they search the internet for novels that have my name on the cover (a guy can dream).
In the meantime, if you don't already have some other way to stay in touch with me (assuming you want to), leave a comment and we'll figure something out.
To everyone who has read Blog Ing, thanks. It's been fun.

this morning very early I went out in the mist to crop fresh leeks, cavoli romaneschi, broccoli toscani leaves and winter radicchios for my daughter to enjoy our vegs as long as she is here with my nipotina ............ and discovered that the village where I was born (my campo is exactly between my childhood village and my native one) has put a sign that I'm there, last years the Xmas decorations stopped at the last house between them, today I have a red ribbon with magnolia leaves on a palo della luce ...... is that nothing??? for me is being silently adopted by a comunity while keeping silently care of the land owned once by my nonna

I am so glad you have that recognition Mada!
There is a Ctretan poet from four hundred years ago who knows you Mada! Look what he wrote:
