- Curcumin phytosome – is believed to be significantly better absorbed by the body than standard curcumin extract
- Green tea phytosome – included to promote healthy weight management
- Grape seed phytosome – added for its antioxidant properties and for vascular support
Just like the original MediClear by Thorne Research' MediClear Plus is a detoxifying powder mix that can be added to your beverage of choice. Both products promote healthy liver function by providing essential nutrient cofactors in conjunction with plant-based proteins' but MediClear Plus contains additional flavonoids that are included to support the body's natural inflammatory response. MediClear Plus is unflavored' so you can mix it with any beverage without changing its flavor.
Beneficial Flavonoids:
MediClear Plus for Liver Function
Research has shown that providing the body with essential nutrient cofactors along with the right amount of low-allergenicity protein can help support healthy liver function. Many issues can arise when the liver does not function as it normally should. You may experience digestion issues' fatigue and bacterial imbalances in the intestines. MediClear was designed with beneficial nutrient cofactors for detoxification (in addition to many immune-supporting nutrients and botanicals) in a convenient powder that you can take anywhere with you and add to just about any beverage.
MediClear Plus includes many vitamins and minerals that are essential to help the liver detoxify. In MediClear Plus' each nutrient can be found in its most absorbable and best utilized form. Some examples are calcium and magnesium citrate-malate' folinic acid and L-5-MTHF' active forms of the vitamin B12 and Thorne Research's patented form of chromium' UltraChrome.
About MediClear Plus's Protein Sources
Thorne Research decided to use rice and pea protein instead of animal' soy or milk-based proteins because they are related to a lower incidence of allergic reactions. It is much more likely for a person to have an adverse reaction to the proteins found in milk or soy tan those found in rice and peas. This eliminates much of the risk of an allergic reaction to the product' which will allow more people to enjoy its detoxifying benefits.
Why Detoxify?
Toxins are abundantly found in our environment. They're in the air' water and food we eat. This may have always been the case to some degree' but it has become an issue that has increased in intensity over the past 50 years. Farmers are using more harmful pesticides and herbicides than ever before and you can find more man-made chemicals in our cleaning products now than in the past. All of the chemicals we come into contact with are processed through our bodies and through our livers.
Too many of us wind up with overworked and exhausted livers. After all' it is the liver's responsibility to transform these toxins into water-soluble compounds that we can then excrete from our bodies. In order for the liver to do its job properly' it should not be overworked and it should be supplied with the appropriate nutrient cofactors and botanicals' such as the ones found in MediClear Plus.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These products are not meant to diagnose' treat or cure any disease or medical condition. Please consult your doctor before starting any exercise or nutritional supplement program or before using these or any product during pregnancy or if you have a serious medical condition.

Great Gluten Free Anti Inflamitory Drink
MediClear Plus by Thorne Research is a great way to start the day!
Easy to mix with OJ and head to work!
The container is bulky and a waste of material...they should put this in a resealable foil bag. Save money and the environment. Maybe they could lower the price.

Really Works!
As part of a Liver Detox, MediClear Plus by Thorne Research works great! I have also felt other parts of my body detoxing in the process. The price is high, but I decided to do this and I don't regret it. I feel so much better, I'm going to continue and keep this product on hand.
A great detoxifying product.
High Price.

Excellent product!
MediClear Plus by Thorne Research is helping our family. Expensive but is worth the sacrifice to have such a beneficial product. Very thankful such a product exists! Thank you for making this.
Helping to improve our health. My husband is losing extra weight and feeling healthier. Works as needed for your body. Seems to be helping with my autoimmune symptoms.
Mildly dislike taste but now used to it. We use rice or almond milk to dissolve.

MediClear Plus by Thorne Research is pretty good for sensitive bodies but they increased the price $10 as I was booking my order!!! That's a pretty sneaky thing to do.
Works well!
Now its too expensive...

from Downey. Ca.
I rate this 5 stars
MediClear Plus by Thorne Research was recommended to me by Dr. Jim Blumenthal a great Doctor and by his office manager Mr. Edward Hardy a great guy. Anyway MediClear Plus has a lot to offer. Its made by a company with great integrity (Thorne Research) and distributed by another company with great integrity: Pure Products.
Very beneficial; tastes pretty good (at least to me); is well worth the cost.
It doesn't taste as good as plain "Mediclear".
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

MediClear Plus by Thorne Research is the best!

Great product!
My Naturopath requested that I use MediClear Plus by Thorne Research instead of the protein powder that I had been using. I was concerned with the taste as I usually am but don't feel that this is too bad. I add fruit to my shake and actually really enjoy it every morning. I can also drink it with just some coconut juice and Nanogreens without any problem.

Great product! Shipped fast! Best prices
Excellent all the way around!

Smooth and palatable!
I've tried other similar products and found them to be gritty. To my surprise MediClear Plus by Thorne Research is not gritty but smooth. The flavor is neutral enough to be mixed with anything but I can even drink it simply mixed with water. For now it appears to be a good adjunct to my overall regimen.
Smooth texture and neutral flavor.
No complaints!

Life Changer
I was first introduced to MediClear Plus by Thorne Research when I took part in a 6 week detox program offered by my naturopath. When it came time to stop taking the MediClear Plus I noticed that I just crashed. I mentioned this to my naturopath and she said there is no reason why I can't just keep taking it and I have. I love MediClear Plus and will continue to include it in my daily supplement routine.

My dr. has recommended that I try this formula because the one I have been using successfully for a long time is soy based. I did see that someone wrote that there is a small amount of soy that I do not see in the ingredients. Is there any soy and if so, how much is there and is it a Non-GMO product?A

Hello, thank you for contacting PureFormulas. This product does contain soy (phytosome) The container does not indicate if it is Non-GMO

ST. FRANCISVILLE —West Feliciana Parish teachers and students are celebrating gains made last school year in the state's academic assessments, while preparing for a more rigorous test of their abilities at the end of the current year, the parish's superintendent said.
West Feliciana, as a district, moved into the ranks of A-rated districts in the second year of the state's letter-grade labeling program and maintained its position as the third-highest performing district in the state, behind Zachary and the Orleans Parish schools that are not in the state-run Recovery School District.
The state accountability results were released last month for the 2011-12 school year.
"We know there's some new challenges coming," Superintendent Hollis Milton said in a recent interview.
"But at the same time, we want to honor the hard work of all those teachers and students for this last year's performance, because we're very excited about what they've accomplished," Milton said.
West Feliciana's baseline district performance score, based on data from two years, was 124.3, compared with 114.2 last year.
The parish's district performance score has not ranked below fourth place in the state since 2002.
"All of our schools met their growth targets, and that's really a tremendous feat," Milton noted.
The state Education Department had expected Bains Lower Elementary, Bains Elementary and West Feliciana High to increase their scores for 2011-12 by 2 points each, but the high school's score was 9.6 points higher and the two elementary schools increased by 2.9 points.
The parish's middle school exceeded its growth target of 3.2 points with a 5.9-point increase.
The state gave letter grades of A to the high school and Bains Lower Elementary for achieving their new baseline scores. West Feliciana High was tops with a score of 131.2, and the lower elementary was next with 121.2.
Bains Elementary and the middle school received B's for their performance scores of 117 and 113.7, respectively.
A record number of Louisiana schools earned an A on this year's report cards, with high schools showing the most gains.
Seventy percent of a high school's score was based on results of end-of-course tests in core subjects, which have replaced the Graduate Exit Exams given to high school students for years.
Thirty percent of the high school score came from each school's graduation index, which awards points to schools based on how well their students perform during four years of high school.
The next high school performance scores will be based equally on the school's ACT test results, end-of-course scores, graduation index and graduation rate.
"For the high school, it's a great celebration to say, that under the old rules — and the old rules were legitimate — we were already hitting very well, especially in those end-of-course tests," Milton said. "But the change from moving from GEE and having more weight on EOC, just elevated us even more. So, it's a time for celebration."
The grading process also will change next year for elementary and middle schools.
"The changes will create a new baseline for us, and that's one thing we'd like the community to know: that we're doing really well, we've hit an all-time high. But we also know that there are some new rules and some new baselines that we're going to have to really look at," Milton said.
"It's like if we decided for football next year, a field goal is worth 2 points, a touchdown is 5 points and you're going to have to gain 13 yards for a first down. That's what's happening," said Steve Comfort, who analyzes the district's accountability data.
"It takes us awhile to learn them and internalize them, much less communicate it to the community," Milton said of the frequent accountability changes.
"We could have a lot of success with it," he added, "but it may not look like it did this year."

Living close to a pub promotes risky drinking behaviours, a new study has found. However researchers aren't sure if proximity is the root of the problem, or if heavy drinkers tend to reside close to a watering hole.
The study, published in the journal Addiction, looked at data from nearly 55, 000 people living in Finland between 2000 and 2009. They calculated each respondents closest bar using GPS.
A team of researchers, lead by Jaana I Halonen, found when a participant moved a kilometre closer to a bar, their risk for heavy drinking increased by 17 per cent, Medical Daily reported.
Of those living within about 0.12km of a pub, over 9 per cent were heavy drinkers. On the other hand, of those living at least 2.4km away from the nearest watering hole, 7.5 per cent were heavy drinkers.
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention classifies heavy drinkers as women who drink one standard alcoholic beverage a night or men who drink a couple.
Halonen said at first she suspected heavy drinkers may chose to live closer to bars than those who aren't as drawn to the booze. However, a significant number of people polled lived in areas where a bar opened up in the area, leading to an increase in the amount of heavy drinking going on.

Bob Sipe Scholarship Fund
Political Science Fund
This fund provides money for special opportunities or extraordinary needs.
Model United Nations
The Model United Nations Club (MUN) is for students who attend the annual National Model UN Conference in New York each spring. In the fall before the conference, the UIS delegation begins to form and members gather information about the country they will represent. In the spring, the delegation submits resolutions to the National MUN and attends the conference, a simulation of the United Nations Organization, where resolutions are discussed, debated, and voted upon by all countries represented in the council and committees. Such an endeavor carries a cost; your support would be greatly appreciated.
Scholarship Funds
William Ferris Cummings Memorial Award
William Ferris Cummings graduated from SSU in 1973 and worked as an inspector with Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. Mr. Cummings was well-known for his community activities, especially those connected with Community Action, Inc. However a tragic, untimely death claimed his life at the age of thirty. The William Ferris Cummings Memorial Scholarship was established in 1980 by family and friends to honor his memory and is awarded to a minority freshman student pursuing a degree in social services or political science.
Lee Frost-Kumpf Scholarship
An enthusiastic and vibrant presence on the UIS campus, the late Dr. Lee Frost-Kumpf was an associate professor of Political Studies who championed public policy issues in any way he could. He received the Spencer Award for public service in 2003, only months before his death. Dr. Frost-Kumpf's work included research projects in Springfield, India, New Zealand, Norway and the Ukraine. The Lee Frost-Kumpf Scholarship was established in 2003 to honor his memory. Applicants must be pursuing a master's degree in political studies or public administration.
Mary and Nelson Howarth Memorial Fund
Nelson Howarth was a respected Springfield attorney and three-term mayor who was instrumental in convincing the Illinois General Assembly to establish the UIS (then Sangamon State University) campus in 1969. He later taught a course in municipal law and administration at SSU. The Mary and Nelson Howarth Memorial Scholarship was originally established by the family and friends in honor of his life and work. In later years, his wife's name was added by the family, who continue to support the scholarship through generous donations. Applicants for the scholarship must be in good academic standing with a major in Public Administration, Public Affairs Reporting, Environmental Studies, Political Science or History.
Kent Redfield Scholarship
Kent Redfield, a leading researcher of campaign contributions in Illinois, professor emeritus at UIS and former director of its legislative intern program, left such an indelible mark on his students that two of them began the process to establish a scholarship in his name. The Kent Redfield Scholarship is awarded to a qualified applicant based on academic merit and financial need.
Rendok and Kracaw Access Illinois Scholarship Fund
A current-use scholarship for Political Science and Legal Studies.
Bob Sipe Scholarship Fund
When the time came for beloved political science professor, Bob Sipe to retire, no one was ready to let him go. The national speaker, global policies expert and blues music enthusiast had affected many a faculty, staff and student with his exuberance, candor and wealth of knowledge. The Bob Sipe Scholarship was established by the Political Science Department at UIS to honor and perpetuate the impact of Dr. Sipe's contributions to the department and the world.
Other Options
Not interested in any of the funds listed above? Then you can also create your own scholarship fund that targets the students you specify in the Political Science Department. As the principle donor of this new scholarship, you would get to name the fund and establish the selection criteria.

How do you recognise the way beliefs drive your life? Write down the answer to the following questions; don't edit yourself, just write down the first thing that pops into you head. There are no right and no wrong answers. Whatever you come up with is absolutely perfect, so just write down what is top of mind for you.
Life is...
Making money is...
My priority is...
My body is...
I love...
My work is...
My family is...
I don't have enough...
I wish I had more...
Time is...
Done? Good. We will come back to your answers at the end.
Today we are starting our habits of happiness project discussing beliefs. I like to think of beliefs as nothing more than thoughts we have thought over and over and over again, until they seem not thoughts but truth. They become so deeply embedded we don't even notice them. They seem as obvious and incontrovertible to us as "the sky is blue". We proceed as though these beliefs are truth and they drive our lives without us knowing it.
Beliefs are like a piece of software, part of our operating system that just runs continuously in the background.
What we get in life is what we believe. We don't realise it but it's that deep software of belief that drives our outcomes in life. Here's one of my favourite examples to demonstrate for you how this works:
Carrie was a pilates instructor. She was the picture of health. Exercised every day. Ate Paleo. She glowed! Her money situation however was a disaster. No savings. Some weeks not making enough to pay rent. Clients cancelling at the last minute or not turning up for their 6am session, and with no cancellation policy she wouldn't get paid. She was really furious about this situation and her "flaky clients".
She was also very angry with her sister. Her sister was well-off, lived in a big house with her husband and two children, worked part-time and was paid exceptionally well. This easy abundance annoyed Carrie. However what annoyed her more was that her sister was overweight and her nieces were going the same way, living on a junk food diet and spending a lot of time playing on the iPad.
I asked Carrie what she thought her sister believed about money, "Oh" she sniffed dismissively "Jennifer's always been very motivated about money, has always made it a priority". Right "And what do you think she believes about health, exercise and food?"
"Well she doesn't believe in that, it's just not important to her, it's a ridiculous attitude".
Okay. And what do you believe about health, exercise and food? "Well I'm the opposite. I know that we need to respect our bodies, what we put in them and to move them. That's really important to me" she said proudly. Fair enough, your fit, healthy body is a testament to that! And what then do you believe about money?
"Well... that there is never enough money, just never enough to go round is there?
That's just life, that making money is hard and... oh my God, I believe that there will never be enough money, and... AARGH!"
I could literally see the penny starting to drop. "I never do have enough money. I am getting what I believe? I am getting the body and the finances I believe in, and so is my sister. Oh. My. God".
Carrie sat stunned at this revelation. It was the starting point of massive and exhilarating change for her. That's why it's so important to start with this deep examination.
Tinkering round on the surface with a new client booking system or way of organising our home office is pointless if we have not addressed the deep-seated belief about the value of money in our life. Congruent beliefs are the foundation of successful and lasting change.
This is what Gandhi has to say on the power of beliefs:
"Your beliefs become your thoughts,
your thoughts become your words,
your words become your actions,
your actions become your habits,
your habits become your values,
your values become your destiny"
Yes indeed. For that is the way it works. If at some deep level you believe there will never be enough: you are exactly right, and there never will be. If you believe deep down that life is hard then you will have a hard life. If you believe in miracles you will see miracles everywhere. If you believe life is a struggle then struggle you will. It is literally that simple.
Of course, not all beliefs are bad. Most will be really healthy and appropriate for the particular phase of life we are in. Some, however, can be outdated and unhealthy and they limit our life. They limit our capacity for change, and they limit the amount of joy available to us. Hence they are called "Limiting Beliefs".
This process we are going to step through each week is going to be like an internal spring clean. It's like going into the back of the cupboards in your mind and having a good sweep out. Does this belief support me and the life I want? If yes, keep it. If no, and it's limiting for you, well, consciously change it.
I am going to walk you through some of the most common limiting beliefs that keep people stuck in a life that no longer suits them. Think of it like a software upgrade. We are going to upgrade to You Version 2.0.
Action step
I hope you have your Habits of Happiness journal (your action step from last week), pull that out and look at your answers to the 10 questions at the start of this piece. How many of those beliefs are helping and healthy, and how many might be limiting you? Awareness and honesty is the first step forward.

I realize that many of the tools discussed in CEH are designed for use on or against older systems, but I was wondering if anyone can point me to a list of free tools for each phase of the hacking process, for windows, and then for linux.
Until now, I have been going through my videos and noting and downloading as I come across them, but it seems as though with some phases, free tools are not listed, or are not ported to windows.
Any help would be appreciated.
Happy Holidays!

Re: honestly, ps vita sucks right now
Re: honestly, ps vita sucks right now
The Vita is great. I own a ps3 as well, but I love sitting in front of the tv playing the Vita. If you don't like it sell it or give it to someone who'll appreciate it. No need to come here and rant because most of us really don't care about your opinion on hating the Vita. I don't remember the psp or the 3DS having games that are this good. Also very glad that a virus like yourself won't be coming back. Cheers.
Re: honestly, ps vita sucks right now[ Edited ]
Sorry **bleep** I like my vita alot use it everday I wouldnt have bought it if I didnt like it I looked into **bleep** and knew everthing about it before I decides to Buy it I think its great. I was jusy saying they should put effort into making their own games rather than making cheper knock games from the ps3. And im here to voice an opinión like everyone else has.
Edited for inflammatory content.
Hey prowood my comment was directed at the guy with virus in his name not you. you should read more and think less. Not everything revolves around you.

The University of Colorado Boulder and CU System's annual Diversity and Inclusion Summit will be hosted on the Boulder campus on Nov. 8-10. The summit features a variety of sessions for students, faculty, staff and community members.
Following the 2011 theme "Taking the Next Step," the summit has expanded its collaborators to offer new programming and presenters. Not only is the city of Boulder a partner in this year's event, the University of Colorado System Diversity Summit is being held in conjunction with the annual CU-Boulder event.
"The University of Colorado addresses diversity and inclusion at every level, on every campus," said conference organizer Alphonse Keasley, CU-Boulder's assistant vice chancellor for campus climate and community engagement. "We rotate a systemwide diversity summit through our campuses; for this year we have combined the two programs to yield an even greater depth of discussion and variety of viewpoints. We are pleased we can broaden the conversation and provide context for Taking the Next Step.' "
Reflecting the systemwide approach, this year's opening keynote is "Making Excellence Inclusive: The Bolder Imperative for the CU System and Communities" presented by Alma R. Clayton-Pedersen, senior fellow at the American Association of Colleges and Universities. Clayton-Pedersen's talk will discuss the challenge for higher education to become much bolder in addressing the root causes of persistent inequities, which are currently addressed through legislation and the legal infrastructure. The opening session for the summit is on Nov. 8 at 8:45 a.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom at the University Memorial Center, with the keynote directly following at 9:15 a.m.
Plenary sessions during this year's summit include:
--Nov. 8, 2 p.m., UMC Glenn Miller Ballroom.
"Taking the Next Step: Appreciative Leadership Practices for Whole-Scale Inclusion" presented by Amanda Trosten-Bloom, managing director for the Corporation for Positive Change.
--Nov. 9, 9 a.m., UMC Glenn Miller Ballroom.
"Bringing in Privilege and Intersectionality: The Next Step to Advancing Conversations About Diversity and Inclusion" presented by Abby Ferber, director of the Matrix Center for the Advancement of Social Equity and Inclusion at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
All events are free and open to the public. The educational and exploratory sessions highlight the research, talents, and insights of faculty, students, and staff and offer a view of diversity beyond the most common definitions. The event is hosted by the CU-Boulder Office of Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement, the CU System Diversity Office, the Chancellor's Advisory Committees and the city of Boulder.
Before attending a session, CU employees can check in at the summit desk in the Glenn Miller Ballroom to have their attendance recorded. Many campus departments will accept diversity summit attendance as a diversity training requirement and participants who attend one event of each session type will receive a certificate of achievement.
A complete schedule of diversity summit events is available in the Events Calendar at Diversity Summit 2011.

Half armour from a small tournament garniture. English, Greenwich, about 1610
Half armour from a small tournament garniture. English, Greenwich, about 1610
Figure of King James I in the Horse Armoury, The Penny Magazine, 1840
'Interior of the Horse Armoury', anon engraving, The Penny Magazine, 1836 © Royal Armouries 2013
The Horse Armoury, by an unknown artist, early 19th century
Figure of Henry IV in the Line of Kings, detail from 'The Horse Armoury' by Rowlandson and Pugin. 1809 (I.345b)
|Object Provenance:
|English, Greenwich, about 1610
|Object Number:
Henry IV became king in 1399 after forcing the reigning king, Richard II, to surrender. Though he was not king for very long, Henry IV spent large parts of his reign putting down rebellions, combating Scottish border raids and fighting the French.
Perhaps due to his relatively short reign and lack of military accomplishments (aside from usurping Richard II), Henry IV's figure was not mentioned much in the visitor accounts. It also seems to make only a brief appearance in the London guide, London and its Environs Described, published in 1761, where Henry is simply listed as a king within the Line at the Tower. This lack of interest is demonstrated in the Tower of London guidebooks as well, where there is no description given of the king's armour or weapons. However, the figure of Henry IV is clearly visible in several early 19th century images.
We can identify the armour worn by the effigy of Henry IV, as it was later used for James I after Samuel Meyrick's re-display. Meyrick was an expert in arms and armour and chosen to display the Line of Kings in the 1826-7. Meyrick recorded that he transferred the armour that had previously been used for Henry IV to the figure of James I.
Henry IV is not represented in the present Line of Kings display in the White Tower.

text: I haven't seen another thread about the rivalry between these two pairs teams aside from discussion in Canadian Pairs thread topics. But I think the development of these two teams and the back-and-forth rivalry has been very interesting. I thought both teams were strong when they came into prominence on the pairs scene a couple of seasons ago. At that point, I was more impressed by M-T/M. However. last year at Canadian Nationals, Meagan and Eric stole my heart. I think Julie Marcotte is a genius, and she has obviously helped the growth and improvement of a number of pairs teams, including the former Takahashi/ Tran pairing, Duhamel/ Radford, and this season, Castelli/ Shnapir of the U.S. Perhaps D/R are stronger technically than M-T/M. But both teams are looking very good this season. The results at 4CCs between them was interesting, and has heated up their rivalry for Worlds in March. M-T/M have a dynamite of a well-choreographed long program, so it will be an intense and interesting battle for the bronze. I think the two top Canadian teams are much stronger than the second and third Russian teams, and also fresher and more interesting than Pang/ Tong. Of course Berton/ Hotarek will also be in the mix at Worlds, but I still think the Canadians are better overall than those challenging for the bronze.

Mexican gunmen cross border, rout National Guard
posted at 11:20 pm on January 4, 2007 by Allahpundit
Actually, I don't know for sure that they were Mexican. All sorts of people steal across the Mexican border who aren't native to that country. Just ask Mike McCaul.
Would "the goddamned fence" have helped here? It couldn't have hurt. Nor could arming the National Guard or tasking them with something more ambitious than making pizza runs for the local border patrol unit.
No injuries, thank god, but if this was what it looks to be — a dry run — then that isn't surprising. If Bush thinks he has problems with his base on immigration now, wait and see what happens next time when a few of these lowlifes spring an ambush and put a bullet in some Guardsman's head. Henry Waxman will gain a constituency overnight that he's scarcely dreamed of.
Everyone ready for Amnesty '07? Then click the image to watch.
Update: Correction — the Guardsmen here were armed, as are all Guard units (supposedly) stationed at the border. But armed with what? What on earth were their assailants carrying that could have forced an armed Guard unit to retreat?

Some questions never get old. Let me list a few of them. As the year 2012 is about to end, today I will talk about three of the most asked questions to me in an email.
Q 1: What is AdventureWorks and where can I get it?
A 1: AdventureWorks is sample database build by Microsoft for running sample/demonstration queries for the user. You can get that from CodePlex. I have written an article about this subject earlier and have created video as well.
Q 2: Can I restore database backup taken from 64-bit server to 32-bit server and vice-versa?
A 2: Absolutely, You can do it as backups are just a file. Just like any other files (JPG, docs, etc) you can use them in 32 bit and 64 bit application server without any issue. The issue related to the platform should only arise with the application (like SQL Server, Office etc.).
Q 3: Can I restore a SQL Server 2012 database to earlier versions like 2008 or 2005? Or How to Downgrade my Database to earlier versions?
A 3: No, you can only move forward. This means, you can restore the database from 2005 or 2008 to 2012 version but can not do it in reverse order. The next most popular question I receive is if we can't restore a SQL Server 2012 database to earlier version what is the next best option? I have personally faced this issue once before and I had manually created T-SQL script using Script and Data Generator Wizard in SQL Server 2012 (Watch Video over here) and rebuild my database in SQL Server 2008R2. If you have many different databases which you want to address, you can use SSIS to automate the script generation.
Here is one question, I always ask back to my users – why do you want downgrade your database? I have hardly gotten valid detailed answer on this subject. Did you face similar situation ever in your future? If yes, I would like to know more about it.
And one more thing…

Used a piece of 3/4" plywood to set the frame on and run through the table saw leaving the bottom bar attached.
Fits nicely into a wooden frame.

American Legion to Napolitano: Apologize
posted at 12:55 pm on April 14, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Of all the smears listed in the new DHS warning about "right-wing extremism," none are more dastardly and despicable than the insinuation that returning military veterans represent a security threat to the nation they willingly served. The Commander of the American Legion has sent the following letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano explaining to her that military veterans are not the enemy:
Secretary Janet Napolitano
Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
April 13, 2009
Dear Secretary Napolitano,
On behalf of the 2.6 million-member American Legion, I am stating my concern about your April 7 report, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence and Recruitment."
First, I want to assure you that The American Legion has long shared your concern about white supremacist and anti-government groups. In 1923, when the Ku Klux Klan still yielded unspeakable influence in this country, The American Legion passed Resolution 407. It resolved, in part, "…we consider any individual, group of individuals or organizations, which creates, or fosters racial, religious or class strife among our people, or which takes into their own hands the enforcement of law, determination of guilt, or infliction of punishment, to be un-American, a menace to our liberties, and destructive to our fundamental law…"
The best that I can say about your recent report is that it is incomplete. The report states, without any statistical evidence, "The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks."
The American Legion is well aware and horrified at the pain inflicted during the Oklahoma City bombing, but Timothy McVeigh was only one of more than 42 million veterans who have worn this nation's uniform during wartime. To continue to use McVeigh as an example of the stereotypical "disgruntled military veteran" is as unfair as using Osama bin Laden as the sole example of Islam.
Your report states that "Rightwing extremists were concerned during the 1990s with the perception that illegal immigrants were taking away American jobs through their willingness to work at significantly lower wages." Secretary Napolitano, this is more than a perception to those who have lost their job. Would you categorize union members as "Right Wing extremists"?
In spite of this incomplete, and, I fear, politically-biased report, The American Legion and the Department of Homeland Security share many common and crucial interests, such as the Citizen Corps and disaster preparedness. Since you are a graduate of New Mexico Girls State, I trust that you are very familiar with The American Legion. I would be happy to meet with you at a time of mutual convenience to discuss issues such as border security and the war on terrorism. I think it is important for all of us to remember that Americans are not the enemy. The terrorists are.
David K. Rehbein
National Commander
The American Legion

the Patriot Act is extremely dangerous when it falls into your opponents' hands.
If your opponents do not share the values of the rule of law that true Americans do, but instead believe in the rule of powerful men like communists do, then any law can be subverted. It is not the nature of the law, it is the nature of those in power. Unfortunately those now in power are not true Americans, but socialists.

Town Square
In search of a restroom
Original post made by diana diamond, Palo Alto Online blogger, on Jul 16, 2006
Not that I was in immediate need of one, but the City Council last Monday passed an ordinance that said anyone found peeing in public would be guilty of a crime.
The problem, said Police Chief Lynne Johnson, is not so much with the homeless downtown but rather those people who spend their evenings drinking and partying away, only to find they need to go after the bars close at night.
So many have relieved themselves on sidewalks and stairways around town.
The new ordinance approved by an 8-0 vote makes it a crime, punishable as either an infraction or a misdemeanor, to urinate or defecate in public.
Now I totally sympathize with wanting to restrict people from peeing in public places.
But the problem in downtown Palo Alto is that not only do we have almost no public bathrooms but we also don�t have any street signs directing people to where the three public restrooms are located.
So I thought it would be helpful if I could help find what we have, so people know where to go.
Hence my walk. There is one fancy French toilet at Hamilton and Waverley that costs 50 cents a use (quarters only, please). We once had two of these, but the one at Lytton recently was moved to the train station/bus depot because there are no bathrooms there either.
Someone told me there were some bathrooms at the two new city parking garages on High and Bryant streets So Saturday I went looking for them.
The High Street garage indeed had one unisex bathroom in a ground floor corner. I opened the door and found water constantly flushing out of the john.
At the Bryant Street garage, there was one unisex bathroom. It worked. Five floors of parking, one john. No big signs with arrows pointing to a �public restroom� at either garage. You just have to prowl around the corners to find them.
Both garages had a map showing all the colored parking zones in the downtown, as well as the public restrooms. The single restroom in each of the garages, however, was not on the map. There were the male-female bathroom logos at City Hall, but I went over there and those doors were locked that afternnon, as they are evenings and weekends. So forget about downtown revelers using those bathrooms.
The sign also listed bathrooms at the downtown library, but that building is closed nights and weekends too.
So here we are, about to make criminals of people who pee in public. I think that would be fine, but it�s not fine if the city doesn�t provide any public facilities, or tell people where to go. What does the council expect people in need to do? This is not a solution to a problem; it�s putting the cart before the horse.

i find it funny that P.A had to pass a no urination in public law, since it's a California state law
Public urination fits the definition of a public nuisance, described in state law as an act that is injurious to health, indecent or offensive to the senses and that interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property.

How many times will this woman write about 50 cents being too much for a public toilet?
Now I see why Diamond has a history of opposing school parcel taxes.
She clearly needs to save her money for things more important than public education

Many cities are beginning to work to make their downtowns a more walkable livable place to visit. Lack of clean safe public restrooms is a definite 'turn off' for many people.
Anyone interested should look at the easy to read report Portland State Univ recently published titled: "Going Public: Strategies for Meeting Public Restroom Need in Portland's Central City" A PDF of it is available at

Does this mean when we take our kids to the neighborhood parks -- which mostly have no facilities -- we can't use our portable potties in public? (Because realistically, a small child who has to pee urgently cannot make even the two block walk home.) Or does it just mean the occasional child's emergency is a crime if we try to save the clothing by finding an out-ot-the-way tree? I've certainly witnessed (and sympathize with) this "criminal activity" at our bathroomless parks. Is it not a crime if a child has an accident in their clothing -- if so, then what about adults?
Does this make us parents criminals if we are not able to train our small children to give us 15 minutes warning before they urgently have to pee?

Yes, the parents should be considered criminals and the City COuncil needs to make sure that the police crack down on these people.
It is good to see that the City Council is addressing the important, pressing issues facing our city, as opposed to wasting their time on dealing with our dwindling tax base as retailers move to neighboring cities

Dear Green Acres parent,
At last week's council meeting, Police Chief Lynne Johnson said police would not go after children in parks, and probably would leave the golfers at the Palo Alto Golf Course alone, should they need to go and do so.
She said the police would concentrate on the downtown.
But the ordinance adopted does apply to the entire city, so the discretion as to when to apply it is up to the police department and individual police officers.

We are not angels. Any area soliciting the public had better attend to the needs of that public. I would have no problem with bringing back vagrancy law, since the sidewalks and streets are not unrestricted use public land, but land dedicated to the public use of traffic and shoppers by the original subdividers.

Perhaps Palo Alto should invest in mobile toilets that patrol the streets looking for people who need to pee. With so many needy people in the city, this one amenity surely deserves support

At long last someone speaks out about this disgrace that Palo Alto downtown really has no restrooms. Go, Diana, go! You've got plenty of support for this one!

What's with these people all worked up about public toilets? Do what your parents told you and go before you leave the house. Somehow in thirty years of living in Palo Alto, I never felt the need to pee in public.

Why is it so tough to just go into a store or restaurant and use their facilites? Seems like a topic that has created a ton of attention for something that is just common sense. Who needs a sign for a public john, when the person needing to go to the bathroom should just pee before leaving their house, shop or restaurant.
Boring Diana.

For those of you who suggest that one should use the restroom before leaving home, that assumes that one's home is nearby. But what do visitors from other communities do, who may live a half hour away and need to go by the time they arrive in Palo Alto? We cannot presume that everyone downtown lives in Palo Alto.
As for using restaurants, not all restaurants tolerate people walking in to use their restroom if they are not customers. If someone looks a bit scruffy, they are turned away at the door, and are told the restrooms are for customers only.
So to me the solution is we need to provide more public restrooms downtown. PortaPotties would be a good temporary solution.

That beg the question "How should we use the city's money?" How does Palo Alto rate against other cities our size? Do we have as many? What have other cities done to deal with the issue? Is it Palo Alto's fault or is this another situation where we hold the city accountable for something that most other city's don't have themselves? You may need to actually research this before opening up the can of worms. While the city is in the middle of an energy crisis and burglary wave, we are more focused on more john's downtown? Huh?

on Jul 26, 2006 at 6:51 pm
Diana has researched this topic in terms of letting the public know where restrooms are available in town. This might seem trivial,unless you know what it's like to stay home rather than risk having an accident in public. This is a problem for many people, whose numbers will increase as we boomers age, although age is not the only cause.
Where shopping is the desired activity, with storekeepers and towns depending on revenues, the shopper's comfort is an obvious priority.
It seems that whenever I've been irritated by someone else's problem, I only understood what they went through by eventually developing the problem myself. So be careful, or we'll have to pay for even more unsightly wastes of time and money!

What about children who are not peeing on an out of the way tree in the park? I have several times witnessed parents letting there kids pee in other more public places. A year ago I was parking in the garage under city hall(!) and I witnessed a mother telling her young daughter to squat by the car. Several weeks ago I saw a woman on hamilton help her son urinate into a planter/onto the side of a building. Will the police put a stop to this?

I recall that the city asked the developer of 800 High Street to add a public restroom on the Homer Ave. open corner, as a public benefit for all the exceptions and variances they were given. Is there a rest room there?

How is it that women can hold their pee but men and children can't? Doesn't this have more to do with planning ahead? My kids, both sexes, were once little and I never had to resort to them peeing in public. We always "tried" before leaving home, restaurants, or anytime they filled up and/or we anticipated not seeing a toilet for a while.
Although I agree with the issues Diana raises about the lack of public restrooms and signage downtown, there's also a social element to the problem. Somehow men (not all of them) don't care if they're seen peeing in an alley after an evening of drinking, whereas most women would be mortified. The people who care plan ahead (or stay home or drink less or take other precautions) and the ones who don't care don't.

It has more to do with respect and morals. All the liberals, hippies and immigrants think they and their kids can pee all over the city. They all need to be arrested. Just today I was at the Stanford shopping center and witnessed a woman in Indian garb holding her young daughter squatting and having her urinate in the parking lot for everyone to see. I tired to find mall security but they were gone, leaving behind a puddle for people to walk through. Absolutely disrespectful.

Do you know how difficult it is to find a restroom in Stanford Shopping Center?
a resident of Atherton
on Sep 21, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Not that difficult. If your kids can't hold it, they should still be in diapers. Do you let your kids pee in public anytime you have to think or look a little to find a bathroom? I should not have to watch them expose themselves in public and leave an unsanitary puddle on the ground because of your laziness.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

I was not defending the action, I was stating a fact. I wasn't even thinking of kids needing to pee, more of myself at 6 months pregnant and not able to find a restroom without walking all over Macy's looking for one.
The problem is, that there are no convenient restrooms and that is a design flaw. If parents did as I have done (have a potty in the car) then kids can pee there. Adults needing to pee don't have that option.

There's nothing quite as delightful as sipping high tea with your pinky out in the home of the high tea. Originally created by Anna, Duchess of Bedford in the early 1800s to ward off that "sinking feeling" while she waited for the traditionally late dinner, today it is more popular - and more lavish - than ever.
Berkeley, Knightsbridge
For afternoon tea with a twist, the Berkeley's Pret-a-Portea is all about fashion. Nibble on a Manolo Blahnik polka dot shoe, a miniature Yves Saint Laurent sponge handbag or a Fendi maple and ginger ankle boot biscuit. The menu includes catwalk photos that have inspired each exquisitely decorated cake. A must for the girls!
Sanctum, Soho
This one's for the blokes: an oyster with bloody mary relish, lamb and potato hot pot, a mini burger, rabbit pasty and a roast beef-stuffed Yorkshire pudding.
Followed by the twice cooked chocolate fudge cake with Jack Daniels ice cream, washed down with tea or coffee, then taste three varieties of Jack and top it off with a cigar. I can think of a few men who would fly to London just for this!
The Athenaeum Hotel, Green Park
This small family-run 5-star hotel has won the Oscar of the Afternoon Tea world by winning The Tea Guild award for 'Top London Afternoon Tea 2012'. Expect delicious finger sandwiches, macarons, fresh scones and crumpets with homemade jam and clotted cream and cakes including bird cookies, fairy cakes with sugar flowers and regular or herbal tea in the garden room.
The Goring, Victoria
Not only is the hotel frequented by royalty (the Middleton's took it over before Kate and Wills' wedding), but you'll find the rich and famous gathered in some nook or other. The hotel was recently stamped with a Royal Warrant for being the hotel the Queen prefers to send her guests to when the palace is full. Try the crayfish mousse in a shot glass, coronation chicken finger sandwiches and the warm scone with jam and clotted cream.
The Ritz, Picadilly
London's most famous afternoon tea is here at Ritz, and clearly a lot of people think so because it can take months to get in. Glide into the Palm Court in your finery (gentlemen are required to wear jacket and tie) and enjoy live music as you sip from the extensive tea menu and enjoy traditional finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam as well as cakes and pastries.
And if you've ever tried to find clotted cream in New Zealand but can't, here is a recipe to make it yourself.

More than trade bait
|01.30.09 at 6:21 pm ET
An NBA title with the Boston Celtics has made it easy to forget about Kevin Garnett's days with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is no longer the player who couldn't win it all. Rather he is the champion who proved anything is possible.
Yet the former Celtics who were involved in the blockbuster deal are still known as 'the guys traded for Garnett.' It has been two seasons, though, since the move and now they are ready to make a name for themselves in Minnesota.
'We're thankful for what [the Celtics] gave us but now we've got to set our own trends, set our own careers,' Ryan Gomes said in a telephone interview. 'We're not with the Celtics anymore. We know who they have and what they've accomplished, but now we've got to try to set other goals for ourself.'
Gomes, Al Jefferson, and Sebastian Telfair are the only remaining players on the Timberwolves from the 2007 trade. (Gerald Green and Theo Ratliff have signed with other teams.) Last season they finished 22-60, their worst record since the pre-Garnett era. In attempt to establish a new identity, the Timberwolves made off-season moves to acquire a highly-touted rookie and veteran shooter. Nonetheless they got off to an eight-game losing streak.
'What people should understand is that we had high expectations coming into this season, with the trade of Mike Miller and getting Kevin Love and Brian Cardinal and Rodney Carney,' explained Gomes. 'We had high expectations and it didn't work out for the first 35 games.'
The Timberwolves were 4-15 when head coach Randy Wittman was replaced by former VP of Basketball Operations Kevin McHale. Ironically it was a Celtic great who got the Timberwolves playing their own style of basketball. They headed into the new year hot off a five-game winning streak.
'In the beginning we did go through a rough time,' Gomes said. 'Our schedule in the month of December was real tough and we were trying to find ourselves. But now we've found ourselves and I think that's why we're playing well. Everyone's understanding their roles and fulfilling them, and I'd say that's the most important thing. Whenever you have success that means everyone's doing their part.'
Gomes points to a demoralizing loss as the source of their improved play. In December the Timberwolves (then 6-24) blew a 29-point lead in the third quarter to the Dallas Mavericks. In spite of losing, the Timberwolves gained confidence and momentum.
'We ended up losing that game and that was what turned it around,' said Gomes. 'We had seen what we could become and where we were at, and then they took it away from us. They kept fighting and kept pushing through it and believing they could win, and I think that's what we took out of it. We had a tough stretch where we lost 13 games in a row early in the season and that game showed that we can bounce back and we can make something of the season. There's a lot more games to be played, and once that came in January we got off on the right foot and we've been rolling ever since.'
The Timberwolves are 9-3 since January 1, including upsets over the New Orleans Hornets and Phoenix Suns. They will look to continue their streak when they face the Celtics on Sunday in Boston. Their former teammates have taken notice.
'First of all, Big Al's playing like an All-Star,' said Kendrick Perkins. 'Second of all, Randy Foye has stepped his game up. Rodney Carney, the rookie (Kevin) Love, Sebastian (Telfair), they're all playing well. Since coach Kevin McHale got the job, they've been playing well. They're playing good defense and I've been watching them lately on TV, so they've been playing really well.'
With just under 40 games left on their regular season schedule, the Timberwolves are nine games out of the eighth spot in the Western Conference. A postseason berth is a longshot, but Gomes doesn't mind waiting. Even if their time doesn't come this season he is confident it's only a matter of time before the Timberwolves establish themselves as a playoff contender.
'I think the Timberwolves are a team on the rise and this year is not over,' Gomes said. 'We've got a lot of games to play and if we play the way we've played this month for the rest of the season, who knows where we'll be. Hopefully we can maybe sneak in the playoffs and if not we could be right there. Next year should be our breakout year to take what we did this year and carry it over next year from the beginning and have a successful season. So the Timberwolves should be a team that teams should be worried about in the West and in the East because of the way we've been playing lately.'

It wasn't long before I realized that the queen was in complete control. I put her in the shade to "cool off", and added another worker. Yep, the queen went after her, but this time the worker offered her tongue and was accepted. I added 7 more attendants with no issues.

Birmingham turns corner on redevelopment
$75 million in projects include condos, retail
Jana Ecker, Birmingham's planning director, has worked in the planning department for 12 years — and she hasn't seen this much redevelopment since before the recession.
At least five redevelopments, totaling more than $75 million, are ongoing or planned in and around the downtown of the affluent Oakland County enclave. The projects will bring new high-end condominiums and senior living residential space, a new restaurant and more retail and office space to the city.
Samuel Beznos, CEO and a partner in the Farmington Hills-based Beztak Cos., said increasing rental rates for office, retail and multifamily residential space all bode well for Birmingham. Beztak, along with Southfield-based Etkin LLC, is developing the $26 million All Seasons of Birmingham senior residential project at 820 E. Maple Road.
According to the Southfield office of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, there is 834,000 square feet of office space in Birmingham's downtown, which was 7.5 percent vacant in the first quarter. That's down from 9.6 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
Average asking rental rates downtown were $30.63 per square foot in the first quarter, the highest average in the Detroit office market. That is up from $29.24 during the first quarter of 2012.
The average asking rent in the first quarter in the region was $18.39 a square foot, according to Newmark Grubb.
"Birmingham is starting to come around where you're going to see more development and redevelopment" because of increasing rents, Beznos said. "I think Birmingham has taken a turn and is seeing a lot of positive changes recently in terms of retail, re-tenanting and office development."
Said Randy Book, executive vice president in the Southfield office of Colliers International Inc., "Everybody wants to be in downtown Birmingham right now.
"There seems to be a very large group of companies and people that really want to be in that marketplace, and that made it so there is the need for redevelopment of office and retail."
Ted Fuller, president of Birmingham-based Fuller Central Park Properties, which has been developing commercial office space in Birmingham for nearly 30 years, agreed.
Fuller Central Park owns 16 properties totaling 465,000 square feet in Birmingham, according to the Washington, D.C.-based CoStar Group Inc., a real estate information service.
Mix and serve
In addition to All Seasons, Joey Jonna, founder of Birmingham-based Jonna Luxury Homes LLC, plans to tear down the Greens Art Supply building at 400 S. Old Woodward Ave. and construct a 49,000-square-foot building with first-floor retail and 11 high-end condominiums. The project, to be completed in the third quarter of 2015, is estimated to cost $20 million.
Royal Oak-based Woodward Brown Associates LLC, owned by Harvey Weiss and Najib Samona, plans a $28 million redevelopment of a vacant site into an 88,000-square-foot mixed-use building with underground parking, drive-through space and commercial and residential space. The developer plans to build the project next year.
The development, at 34901 Woodward Ave., received a $3.2 million Michigan Strategic Fund performance-based loan in September to help pay for construction of the five-story mixed-use building, which will be known as The Balmoral. Woodward Brown bought the land, vacant since 2005, from Bank of America in April 2010 for $2.5 million.
Meanwhile, A.F. Jonna Development & Management Co. plans to redevelop the existing Palladium 12 theater at 202 N. Old Woodward Ave. after purchasing the building in April. Arkan Jonna, manager at A.F. Jonna, is a cousin of Joey Jonna of Jonna Luxury Homes, but the companies are not formally related.
Repeated efforts to reach the Bloomfield Hills-based company to get further details were not successful, but the project calls for redevelopment of the second floor of the existing theater into office space and three new residential units on the southeast corner of the roof, according to city documents. Mark Nickita, a Birmingham City Commission member and co-founder of Detroit-based Archive DS, said the plan would reduce the theater size to five or six screens, down from 12.
Other developments are in the works, but details are scant.
Victor Sarkori, president of Birmingham-based Sarkori Architecture, is the architect for a mixed-use development by Group 10 Development for the vacant former Barclay's Inn site at Maple Road and Woodward.
He said the project is in the early stages and declined to reveal details other than that the development group has met internally with city officials and plans to present to the planning board soon.
On deck: parking
Robin Boyle, chairman of the Birmingham Planning Board, said the redevelopments are projects that had been planned for years, while others are relatively new.
The Balmoral redevelopment, for example, "is almost a poster child for the development industry in Birmingham coming out of the Great Recession," Boyle said. It has been on the table for years, he said.
Boyle, who is also chairman of the urban planning and studies department at Wayne State University, attributed the redevelopment activity to not only the attractiveness of Birmingham life but also the rental rates.
"People are seeing that as an opportunity to jump in if there is property — and there isn't a lot," he said.
So what's next? Book and Boyle both pointed to parking as a crucial need for the city.
"We are definitely going to see people be more creative with their parking decks, coming up with more creative ideas," Book said.
Boyle said the fresh investment will generate more tax increment financing for the downtown, which then could allow the city to build a parking deck in the "triangle district," the area bounded by Woodward, Maple and Adams Road.
That's sorely needed, he said.
"It's an important question," Boyle said. "But I think we are seeing enough activity now to start generating tax increment" financing.

I'll bet you could mock up the gun and maybe even test fire it before glueing it all together (or what ever fancy name they call it). If you're doing a dedicated 22 you don't have to worry too much about the buffer tube diameters or length as the 22lr versions use their own recoil system. That would open up a whole bunch of custom stock options for you. Maybe you could even make a galil type folding stock for it. If you're doing your own barrel how about one of the alumilite 22lr barrels for the 10/22? Its basically an aluminum barrel with a steel liner. They also make a tenion (ms?) barrel thats aluminum on the outside and has an air space around the liner on the inside. I don't think that would work well to remachine into an ar15/22 barrel. One of my back burner projects is a 17hmr upper for an ar15 and I'll be using a 10/17 mag barrel for it. I have the bolt done except for an extractor. I just need to make a bushing for the 17hmr bull barrel so I can bolt it onto the upper. I've been toying with a delayed blowback idea for it also.

@simplespiritLocale: .
I can't think of any campgrounds real close to town here. There are some closer to Brevard and at least one near the Pisgah Inn off the parkway (assuming it's not closed). Plenty of potential trips depending on what you want. You can PM me if you have specific questions of more ideas on the type of trip you're looking for. I tend to be a bit of a masochist so what is ideal to me may not be to you.Feb 9, 2012 at 8:00 am #1836801

@leslerLocale: right here, right now
per 2009, there were two hostels right in town– one east side, one west
names elude me and google is painfully stalling at this moment
(otherwise woulda sent the links)
i believe the prices to be comparable (if not cheaper) than area campgrounds
with same amenities (likley more) and walking distance to all other facilities

I stayed here last year for a week on our family vacation in a camper. They have tent sites, not all sites have power and water. I would reserve a site, it fills up fast at least the sites with power and water and the better views.
As far as hikes, one of the most prominent hikes is to hike the Deep Gap Trail (I think that is the name) that goes from the summit parking lot of Mt Mitchell to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th highest peaks east of the Mississippi, Mt Mitchell would be the highest east of the Mississippi. There are some cool views, the trail basically runs on the ridge line of these high peaks. I have done a long day hike in there and back out sumitting those 3 or 4 peaks, it was the culminating hike of our week long family vacation, beautiful.
Another cool area to look into is the Pisgah National Forest near Linville, NC. There is an area there called the Linville Gorge and a mountain, Table Rock Mountain that are really scenic. There is a dirt road running the ridge line on the rim of the gorge and there are parking areas all along it with named trails going down into the gorge. This gorge is referred to as the 'Grand Canyon of the East'. There is an awesome viewing area of Table Rock Mountain then you can do any number of those trails going down into the gorge. There is fishing all along the river down in there, beautiful area. There is a video on youtube of some guys that backpacked in to camp and fish that shows off the area a little. I have not been down into the gorge just drove the dirt road and stopped at several overlooks, Table Rock in particular. It was so gorgeous in there I was just dying to drop down into there for a backpacking trip and plan to go back soon to do it.Feb 9, 2012 at 4:33 pm #1837008

Thanks Ty Ty, might have to take a few more days of vacation, it all sounds great. Just looked on the web a bit today but it appears that the Asheville area has lots of backpacking options. I'm stoked.

I like the colors, layout, everything about it. It is a great twist on a traditional design. We all have different tastes. Those who are more traditional would probably have trouble with the design. I once made a quilt that I received mixed reactions on. The person I finally gave it to loved it.
What's wrong with it, that others are cold? I say its beautiful, the colors and the design. !!!!!!!!!!!
Love to quilt and play with the great grandkids
You are showing it to the wrong people if those who see it don't like it. It is great and interesting.@
I love it. I'm a huge fan of working out of the box. And like you said,"It had a mind of its own". What else could you do? finish her up. Let the quilting "talk" too! I can't wait to see it finished.

Canadiens' forward Max Pacioretty scored two power play goals Monday night to help lead the Habs to a 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils at the Bell Centre.
Line mates David Desharnais and Danny Brière each picked up an assist.
"This is their second game together. We can see there's some chemistry starting to build," Coach Michel Therrien said.
"That's a good thing. That's the reason why we try to put those guys (together) as much as we can."
Therrien highlighted Pacioretty's power and speed.
"Since Day 1 (of training camp) he came with the right attitude…He's in great shape, he's powerful. It's demanding to play against him when he's using his speed like that," Therrien said.
With the start of their regular season a week away, the Canadiens went with a squad of veterans. The two prospects penciled into the lineup were defenseman Jarred Tinordi and forward Michaël Bournival who centred the Habs' fourth line flanked by Travis Moen and Ryan White.
For a first game all together, Therrien said he liked what he saw in some areas although the timing wasn't always there in others. But that's normal at this time of year, he said.
"In general, I liked the effort."
The Canadiens have two preseason games left, both against the Ottawa Senators. They play at Scotiabank Place on Wednesday in Kanata and on Thursday at the Bell Centre.
