Recently while on a long hike, hubby and I had our credit card compromised at a hotel chain (the bank caught it within a half hour) and the bank shut it off, which was a bother, and we only caught it because we were able to go online and check the account. This time we luckily had carried some cash for transportation and that tided us over with expenses. And I had brought another to use for backup, but my questions to all are:
On a hike like the CDT, AT, or PCT how do you manage your $ for things like food and hotels and other unforeseen expenses? Hotels/Motels mostly only take cards as far as our experience.
Do you bite the bullet and use ATM's for cash or just get extra when using the card?
Do you use a credit or debit card, and which one do you consider "safer" from theft?
Thanks in advance for the advice!Nov 9, 2013 at 6:06 pm #2042911

I would probably take two credit cards and no debit cards. Debit cards have increased risk IMO.Nov 9, 2013 at 6:19 pm #2042914

I recently finished the PCT with my girlfriend. We managed money by putting an equal amount of money into a checking account and using a debit card associated with that account for all expenses. I also brought my credit card which was a visa card in case the debit card, which was a master card, didn't work. We started with $300 cash, but only had to get cash again once or twice on the whole trail. Nearly everybody can take a card now. We didn't have any issues with theft and got cash back while buying groceries when we needed it. This system worked just fine for us and I would do it again if I were to thru-hike one of the big three again.Nov 9, 2013 at 6:42 pm #2042927

You will need to carry cash because there are places that only take cash on the long trails. I took a debit card and credit card. Used the debit but had the credit as backup. I also carry my license and insurance card in my little cuben fiber pouch.Nov 9, 2013 at 6:48 pm #2042928

In one area of Germany we found my CC was not accepted. It was a problem with the local bank's network and database. My card was perfectly OK. So having multiple sources is pretty essential on long trips.
Sue and I each carry a Credit Card, hidden. We carry one Mastercard and one Visa card: different networks. These are preloaded with cash before the trip to avoid interest payments, and we advise the banks we are going overseas.
We get cash from ATMs, usually in large lumps. We try to balance our withdrawals between the two cards. Sue carries half the cash and I carry the other half. Most of the cash is hidden in our packs, with a small operating amount easily accessible.

If you use cards be sure they are "well separated" in terms of Visa/MasterCard/CapitalOne, in terms of "vendor", like REI affinity cards, and the names on the cards.
A small town motel we stayed at was owned and operated by the grocery store. We paid for our room at the store, 4 nights in advance, about $400 or so. For some reason that was a flag to the card holder. Our 2 cards, in two different names, but both from REI and linked by the same address, were shut down on the spot. It took a few hours to get things straightened out.Nov 9, 2013 at 10:02 pm #2042967

Thank you all. Yes, we have to notify our card people every time we leave our immediate area, or they shut it down. Your suggestions are ones we can work with. We decided to use the credit instead of debit card mostly for safety and limit the amounts in those in case of theft and just do transfers if we need more later. Years ago we used travelers checks, but they fell into disfavor, became harder to use and are not accepted by many business any more. I always thought they were a great idea.Nov 10, 2013 at 5:05 am #2042991

Yep, Ive had my credit card put on hold unexpectedly a couple of times when all of a sudden I try to use it in another area of the country, or in a way I never have before.
I always carry ~$100-$200 cash
Many places wont take plastic in small towns, esp on AT.
If you do mail drops, put cash in each mail drop. Its controls spending tightly. Cant spend what you dont have.
I mostly use my card to get cash from ATMs.
There is no reason to have, or use, a debit card.
I pay for just about everything possible with credit cards that doesnt cost me more. (for instance, cant pay daughters college tuition with them without 4% adder) I may spend $20,000 per year, but get back several hundreds of dollars per year in cash/airline/hotel points as long as pay every month, and use no-annual fee.
Debit card doesnt offer this, so no reason to use it.Nov 10, 2013 at 7:49 am #2043002

"On a hike like the CDT, AT, or PCT how do you manage your $ for things like food and hotels and other unforeseen expenses? Hotels/Motels mostly only take cards as far as our experience."
On my hikes of those trails, it's been more common that cash is required — a lot of cheap motels and hostels, not much in the way of "hotels" ! Plus, once you start hanging out with "hiker trash", you'll find that regardless of your net worth, you start acting kind of cheap. It's the new culture you'll be living in. So even if you have tons of money, you might find the dynamics of the situation leave you sharing a cheap motel room with 3 others. And happy to be doing it.
I've used USAA as my insurance company since the 1970's. Their banking arm doesn't have a network of ATMs, so they allow you to use *any* ATM and they reimburse the fee for a few transactions per month (4?) This is great for thru-hiking; just pay attention to which towns have ATMs and which ones don't and get enough cash to deal with things until you're sure you'll find another (working) ATM.
I certainly agree with having a second card as backup, but bottom line is that I would expect to use ATMs more than I think you had in mind.

There is, however, a third essential and today being Valentine's day this seems the perfect time to address this issue. For most of us, a companion enhances the experience. And it can be the companion's level of enthusiasm that ultimately determines how much we sail.
Many of you know exactly what I am talking about. For those that don't, take a stroll through any marina in America on a breezy Saturday afternoon and you will be struck by how many sailboats sit in their slips. These boats cost thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars to purchase. They continue to ring up slip fees and insurance premiums. Many will be "tricked-out" with the latest in electronics, go-fast hardware, and high-tech sails. So why aren't their owners using them?
The easy answer is that modern life is complicated. On any given Saturday these boats' owners are attending an art festival, visiting grandma, fighting a cold, playing golf, remodeling the kitchen, doing the taxes, or going to Disney World. But for the whole answer, you have to look deeper. More often than not, sailboats sit unused because sailing is not a shared passion.
You don't.
If you wheedle, beg, or bully your partner into cruising, odds are it will not be the wonderful experience you imagine. Your partner must have at least some interest in the enterprise, timorous though it may be at the start. You cannot conjure that interest, but you can darn sure kill it.
Of course, avoiding these, and similar, onboard unpleasantries may make cruising less unattractive, but it doesn't make it more attractive. To do that, we have a tendency to try to "win over" our partners by droning on about how wonderful cruising will beinteresting destinations, 24/7 freedom, sunshine, palm trees, and moonlight strolls on the sugar-sand beaches. Such puffery ignores the downside of cruising, yet for your reluctant partner it is the negatives that are the controlling factors.
Forget about selling your vision and concentrate on seeing cruising through your partner's eyes. If you are a man hoping to entice a wife or girlfriend, you are likely to discover that her perspective on cruising is a lot different from yours, and rightfully so. Here are some samples:
If, in your heart of hearts, you know your partner lacks enthusiasm for cruising, finding the perfect boat and outfitting it "just so" will not get you away. I spent much of 1998 immersed in examining this issue and writing about what I discovered. The result was a thin, but packed, volume which I titled Dragged Aboard: A Cruising Guide for the Reluctant Mate. Courageously published by W. W. Norton, this book has remained nearly as big a secret as the problem it addresses. If this column strikes a chord with you, if you dream of cruising and your partner doesn't, I unabashedly recommend this little book to you. It is likely to be of more value to you than anything I have ever written about selecting, restoring, or outfitting your boat. In addition, it contains a great deal of information for improving your lot as a cruiser, reluctant or not.
Take a look around any marina or sail club. Men will outnumber women 10 to 1. If that is a reliable indicatorand I think it isit makes 9 out of 10 boats short the third essential. This dooms 90 percent of cruising dreams. Yours doesn't have to be among the casualties.

President Obama unveiled his plan to implement a "global minimum tax" Wednesday.
"From now on every multinational company should have to pay a basic minimum tax. And every penny should go towards lowering taxes for companies that choose to stay and hire in the United States of America," said President Obama.
The White House National Economic Council Director, Gene Sperling, Monday called for a global minimum tax "to ensure that nobody is escaping doing their fair share."
"We will say more, perhaps not in gory detail, but in more detail, before the end of the month. And in terms of the revenues, the president is looking for shared sacrifice," said Sperling.

This morning I went for a goose hunt along the river. Had my decoys set up and sitting in the blind drinking a cup of coffee. Nothing moving but a nice morning to be sitting
On the river with the dog. About 8 am a gunshot blasts into goose floaters that were right in front of my blind. "Hey don't shoot. those are decoys. You **** moron. you can't tell the difference between a decoy and a goose?" I yelled again not to shoot and figured he would show up and appoligize. After about a minute i got out of the blind to go to find him and have a comversation. Poof, he gone. Disappeared. Heavy cover and he was either running for the hills or hiding. I started searching brush and yelling for him to man up and at least say he is sorry but the balless bastard never showed his face . if I had been sitting 20 yards to the left I would have taken some pellets.

Wood Fired Pizza Oven
I am considering getting a wood-fired pizza oven built at home. Can anyone help with the do's and don'ts or a good design? I've seen some that look like an incinerator (not good) but want something a bit more stylish or authentic. Thanks!

Re: Wood Fired Pizza Oven
You can get a free set of plans from http://fornobravo.com/store/
It may not be the design you want, but can give you a good idea of what is involved.
All you have to do is go to their website and "purchase" a set of plans, the price is $0.00 but they still require you to go through the purchase process, no credit card details or anything, guess its just a way of controlling access to the plans.
We are eventually going to build one, when we finally get around to building a deck to place it on.
Hope this helps.

Re: Wood Fired Pizza Oven
I am actually in the process of building a pompei brick dome oven using th eplans from Fornobravo. They also have a forum attached to the website which is full of information. Firstly I would have a think about exactly what you want to maily cook in the oven - ie just pizzas and a few loaves of bread or do you want to cook multiple rounds of bread.
The type of oven will be slightly but you can do either in both types of oven it is just that one designed to cook multiple batches of bread will take much longer to heat up but will hold heat for a long time whereas an oven designed for pizza won't have as much retained heat but will heat up much quicker.

Re: Wood Fired Pizza Oven
I am dreaming of my own small pizza oven here in Bavaria but am nervious about neighbours complaining about smoke and whatever.
If one has a small oven how long does the fire remain inside before one cooks one's pizza? Does the smoke cause any nuisance to others nearby? Also how hot does the fire get inside? Can the heat damage trees nearby?

If you check out youtube you will find quite a few videos on what to do when building, lighting and cooking in a pizza oven. Quite interesting actually. I just searched by typing pizza oven.
We are thinking of getting a brick one built too, probably not as big as Jamies oven though.

Re: Wood Fired Pizza Oven
Have recently built my own back-yard Pompeii style pizza oven. Have done much research on the subject before attemting to build such a beast. Decided not to buy plans of such a project as I hate parting with money. (the real reason is I have'nt got enough spare cash to afford such a luxery). Made my wood oven with all reclaimed materials including 3 different types of brick in construction. The dome was built using reclaimed "full wire cut clays" using the principle that these bricks have already been fired to a minimum of 1200 degrees in a kiln and I am hoping to achieve only 3-400 degrees to make this wood oven practical in its purpose. I have come across many problems in the construction of the oven but all have been overcome through trial and error and now am the proud owner of a fully functional working Pizza oven. If anybody has any questions on this subject then I would be glad to assist or give relative links to a particular problem. Tried to post pics (mid-construction and finished results) but as a new kid on the block,this was'nt possible

text: Hello! I am new to Bee Source. I am planting a small family orchard and am considering adding bees to the list to pollinate my fruit trees. I ran into a man selling honey down the road and he shared that he had trouble with his bees this year. He is under the impression that his bees did not collect enough resources to make enough honey to get through the winter and lost 2 hives to the stronger bees robbing and starving the weaker bees. I am wondering if I planted my orchard if possibly his bees would pollinate my orchard for me and I wouldn't have to keep a hive here on my property. I am concerned about my children and friends children getting stung. I want to keep bees at some point in my life as I am excited about harvesting honey and wax to make soaps, candles etc. but I am not certain now is the right time for me. Any Advice?

There is a thing I love to use. It's called reverse psychology.
"Reverse psychology is often used on children due to their high tendency to respond with reactance, a desire to restore threatened freedom of action. Some parents feel that the best strategy is sometimes "reverse psychology": telling children to stay in the house when you really want them to choose to go outside and play'." – Wikipedia
Now let start by saying that I haven't had much to say about the murder of Trayvon Martin. People have asked me to blog about it and I've said no. I really think that this tragedy is not going to end well at all. I think that due to the Stand Your Ground law in Florida that George Zimmerman has a good chance of getting off Scott free. That really disturbs me. So much so that I really haven't wanted to deal with the fact that the whole situation screams Pre-Civil Right era America. An America that I can't stand.
For me, the solution is not simply justice for Trayvon and his family. The answer is that this law and others like it are changed so that they can't be used as a defense for anyone (regardless of color or creed) who shoots and kills an unarmed person. Justice in this situation not going to resolve institutionalized racism in America, so I'm not looking for that. Yes, there was profiling…but our legal system makes that hard to prove without someone shouting "I'll kill you, N-word" before they shoot into a crowd of witnesses.
That brings me to what I "kinda" agree with Ann Coulter on. Laws like Stand Your Ground should be repealed and I think that I know how that can happen. Black people may have to model the behavior that we want to see stopped.
In a recent interview on Bill O'Reilly's Fox News program, Coulter said that, in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting, African-Americans should begin arming themselves. Here's the full context of the conversation:
Coulter: We are going to have a trial, but I was just making the point that if what [MSNBC] is claiming happened — that George Zimmerman stalked this young black child just because he was black, shot him dead in cold blood — if that's the case, well, the reaction isn't the conclusion they're coming to on the left which is oh, we need more gun control. Gun control laws have been used historically, they were — they were to keep guns out of the hands of blacks and it was the Republican Party and the NRA that has always supported arming blacks in order to protect themselves from the democratic Ku Klux Klan.
O'Reilly: All right so what you're saying is if MSNBC and NBC News's hypothesis is true that this was a racially biased driven murder, that all African-Americans should take that as a warning sign and arm themselves against that happening to them, therefore, they should support the NRA. They should support the law that gives, allows you to fight back if threatened, and they should arm themselves. That's what you're saying?
Coulter: Yes.
Here's what I think: Black people should educate themselves about gun ownership and join the NRA. I'm not saying that African Americans should buy a gun and arm themselves. You can if you want to and you are eligible in your state, of course, but really I'm against gun ownership in most cases. However, I do think that the simple act of thousands of African Americans joining the National Rifle Association would alarm a LOT of people. It would give the impression that Blacks are arming themselves in mass. I think that the ripple effect would be more strict gun laws across the country. Thus, laws like Stand Your Ground would not be acceptable because a Black guy who would normally be locked up for shooting someone could go free. Now, you know we can't have that America. We're just about to privatize the prisons and we don't want criminals going free, right.
I'm not really serious, but you know I'm right. If you know anything about the Black Pathers and their use of guns, you know I'm right. They openly displayed shotguns and encouraged members to carry weapons to protect themselves. They were pioneers in the pro-gun movement. You think that didn't have anything to do with their demise?
"Opposition to gun control was what drove the black militants to visit the California capitol with loaded weapons in hand. The Black Panther Party had been formed six months earlier, in Oakland, by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. Like many young African Americans, Newton and Seale were frustrated with the failed promise of the civil-rights movement. Brown v. Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were legal landmarks, but they had yet to deliver equal opportunity. In Newton and Seale's view, the only tangible outcome of the civil-rights movement had been more violence and oppression, much of it committed by the very entity meant to protect and serve the public: the police.
Inspired by the teachings of Malcolm X, Newton and Seale decided to fight back. Before he was assassinated in 1965, Malcolm X had preached against Martin Luther King Jr.'s brand of nonviolent resistance. Because the government was "either unable or unwilling to protect the lives and property" of blacks, he said, they had to defend themselves "by whatever means necessary." Malcolm X illustrated the idea for Ebony magazine by posing for photographs in suit and tie, peering out a window with an M-1 carbine semiautomatic in hand. Malcolm X and the Panthers described their right to use guns in self-defense in constitutional terms. "Article number two of the constitutional amendments," Malcolm X argued, "provides you and me the right to own a rifle or a shotgun."
Guns became central to the Panthers' identity, as they taught their early recruits that "the gun is the only thing that will free us—gain us our liberation." They bought some of their first guns with earnings from selling copies of Mao Zedong's Little Red Book to students at the University of California at Berkeley. In time, the Panther arsenal included machine guns; an assortment of rifles, handguns, explosives, and grenade launchers; and "boxes and boxes of ammunition," recalled Elaine Brown, one of the party's first female members, in her 1992 memoir. Some of this matériel came from the federal government: one member claimed he had connections at Camp Pendleton, in Southern California, who would sell the Panthers anything for the right price. One Panther bragged that, if they wanted, they could have bought an M48 tank and driven it right up the freeway. – Article in The Atlantic | Adam Winkler
Am I kidding? I'm not totally serious, but you see my point. Sometimes humor is good, because you have to laugh to keep from crying. Sometime you have to show people their actions by modeling them back before they truly see how much they are in error.

NO MORE RESTRUCTURING! If they cut him who do they have at DT? After Joseph who? And aging Bernard? An unproven 2nd round pick from a couple of years ago? A late round pick last year coming off an ACL tear?
The proverbial rock and a hard place. I think he has a lot to give the Giants (if he stays healthy). But that is a big question. I have always liked him and thought he has done well for us. We can't afford to pay that much for a maybe player though. This whole team is a giant (no pun intended) question mark lately. There are young guys who we have no real idea how they will play. Then there are all the guys coming off injuries. Can they get back to where they were. The only guys we won't have questions about are our draft picks this year. They will likely never see a snap.
I'm with RF on this one.
Canty is a pretty good player and the only DT I noticed making any impact plays this past year. Couple that with the reality that we just don't have anyone to take his place and it's a pretty easy decision to keep him on the team.
He is expensive but I think we'll just have to bite the bullet for now.
but we are paying him like top DT money virtually with the contract ew gave him. if we could get out of it, recoup a lot of cap space, id be all for it. we can replace hwat canty gave us w/o having to have the quality of player canty is...
How much of Diehl's contract is guaranteed?
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Maybe there's a way to work something out....I don't expect Canty to just take a pay cut, but depending on how much of the remaining amount is guaranteed, maybe there's a way to work something out that gives him more guaranteed cash in exchange for a more cap-friendly number.
But like Buddy said, there's not a lot of depth there, especially with Austin being a no-show.
They definitely will need to restock this position.....one of the reasons why the linebackers got hammered was because the interior often let the opponent's lineman to 2nd blocks on the linebackers.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
Canty is a typical way that we've overpaid for players who never performed to the level of their contract. But I look at him and I quickly know the answer why he never played to the height his lofty contract demands: he's a 3-4 DE playing DT on a 4-3 defense. He is just not stout enough in the trenches where its demanded. He is not an immovable object like a Wolfork. He's good but is paid like he's great. If JR and Co come up with a healthy solution he's gotta go, otherwise we're stuck with him.
That has to be a restructure....he's solid in the middle!

To begin with, beautiful full
motion video sequences grace the beginning of the game, and before each level.
They look cool, and depict the story well (no matter how bad it is). Although
it starts with cool video, the graphics during game play are far from revolutionary.
Blocky characters, and so-so backgrounds complement a fairly cool environment
to run around on. Basically, you are on a maze-like platform, and must a certain
number of flags before the enemy does. Here's the catch: if you are 'it' (like
in the kid's game 'tag') you can't capture flags. The first person to capture
a flag in a level isn't 'it', and can continue capturing flags, but beware,
your opponent is chasing after you, and if he touches you, you will be sent
flying, and will be adorned 'it'. Now its your opponent's job to collect flags,
while you chase him. Although this sounds rudimentary, it provides some truly
hectic and exciting game play.
You're equipped with some items to help you along the way in your quest of winning Vorga's games. Your main weapon is the energy ball spell. When you hit your opponent with it, they are temporarily frozen. This is mainly used when you are trying to tag them and can be quite useful, if you are a good shot. You are also provided with a couple more spells to help you win, including slow, which makes your opponent slower, speed, which makes you run faster, teleport, which randomly puts you somewhere else on the map, and mines, which lays down a bomb behind you that will topple enemies if they touch it. You also come equipped with the build spell, which will build a small bridge, useful for crossing over between those close platforms. In addition to these things, there is a large assortment of power-ups to help you along the way.
Each opponent that you must
face, lives on its own world, with different physics, and each opponent has
its own special abilities. For example: the ice world is slippery, making it
hard for you to maneuver. Your opponent there, Kolo, isn't effected by it and
runs around normally, posing quite a threat while you're sliding around the
map. Other special abilities of the enemies include unique spells, and different
ways of firing their energy ball spell.
The music is a cool, futuristic, techno soundtrack. It's perfect for the game and makes the hairs on the back of your neck jump-up as you go for that final flag. The sound effects that accompany it are nothing special, but don't detract from the game.
There is a large amount of depth in this game. Besides the 15 worlds to play on - each with about 3 levels - there are secret levels to boot. The only problem with all these levels is that they are sometimes repetitive, and are too easy when playing against the computer.
The two player mode is a horizontal split screen, providing some good action for playing against a friend. But, alas, only on the same computer. That, and the fact that you cannot play more than 2 players simultaneously, are the major shortcomings of some potentially great action. Add modem and LAN support, and this could of been a great game.
The bottom-line is that Grid Runner, although it doesn't look too spiffy, is a fun and is an addictive game, and if you were a fan of Lode-Runner or Bomber Man, this game is definitely a good buy.

Büyük kal! Ed onunla temas var ilk andan itibaren çok yardımcı oldu ve kalmak sadece mükemmel!
Great stay! Ed was very helpful from the first second I got in contact with him and the stay was just perfect!
It was a relatively lower priced appartment in London Centre, so our expectations were not high. It was indeed more of a student place and little attention had been paid to making the appartment nice looking or comfortable. Also the entrance (hall/stairs) were not very clean and quite a mess. The plusses were that the shower and kitchen facilities were good, the bed was comfortable and the appartment was reasonable clean.
Very nice apartement, very good situated to Tube-stations, a lot of restaurants around, "pret a manger" and "Paul" just around the corner for breakfast.
We did have a problem in gaining entry to the flat but this was amicably rectified by the owner. The flat, although basic, was comfortable and very well situated for easy access to London's sights. Tube station minutes away, shop and restaurants conveniently situated. If returning to London we would use this flat again.
The apartment was nice and quiet. We had a problem with the hot water when we arrived but Mark came soon and fixed it.
Nice and clean apartment in an interesting and (probably) save area of london. The size is good for two people. Not very quiet but pretty close to the subway and bus-station. Some nearby stores (food) and restaurants. The Barbican-Center in the neighborhood offers many interesting cultural events. The service ist perfect. Recommended!
Erwin, Germany
very nice, bright and clean appartment. the bet is also very comfortable which is not always the case...
the connection to everywhere by publics is very easy. you have the circle line, busses and other tubelines and ways to go to the east, west, center or north... some lovely bars and restaurants are also very close.
and a big comliment to the host, especially Marco. Very uncomlicated organisation. def, worth to stay

General Motors has announced that the highly anticipated Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will (finally) make its production-spec debut at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Both the 3.6-liter V6 (now with 312 horsepower) and 6.2-liter V8 will be available, mated to six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. Aside from the folding soft top, very little has changed in terms of updates for the 2011 Camaro.The Camaro Convertible hits dealerships in February of next year (perfect timing for us in the snow belt), priced from $30,000, which includes the $850 destination charge. That's nearly $7,000 more than the price of a base Camaro coupe, which leads us to believe that bottom-end trim levels won't be available on the convertible. And for those of you wondering, the least expensive Mustang V6 Convertible starts over $2,000 less at $27,995. Link
Usually when you chop the roof off of a good looking coupe, the convertible doesnt look as handsome.I was afraid this would be a similiar case to Audi A5 coupe vs. A5 Cabriolet, but fortunately, I think the convertible variant looks equally (if not, more) impressive as its hardtop coupe counterpart.Nice job, GM!
I want to see it with the top up. I'm afraid it will look very awkward.
Not bad, looks better than I expected. Just not much on convertibles.
Only a very slight case of bubble butt. Well done.
_________________________________________________________________________Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.
Very nice car. Finally a car that looks like it should be a convertible. The price is a little steep but I am sure you get more standard equipment then the Mustang.
It looks like a Camaro without the roof, no surprises here. Almost all convertibles look good with the top down, it's when the top goes up that the cars look stupid. I would prefer a T-Top or Targa style roof, it's not like Camaros have never had them in the past.
i need to see it with the top up before i pass judgement
From the looks of it with the top down, I think it looks better than the Mustang Convertible top down.Now, if only Chevy would fix that awful interior...
____________________________Edgy, Controversial, Dangerous...
Here are some clear shots of it with the top up:http://www.sema.org/sema-enews/2009/49/spy-shots-2012-camaro-convertible-spotted-in-ushttp://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11777http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5600
That's a HUGE ripoff.
========================================================You don't know the difference between a generalized opinion based on experience and a fact with a link. I swear that people 40 and over don't understand sarcasm.
The shots of the camaro with the top up are very unflattering. 2k more than a convert. Mustang. Interesting.
I'll stick with the coupe on this one. With that said, I'd take a Mustang Convertible over this, save 2 grand!
Cool cool, it would be interesting to see if this actually adds sales to the Camaro figures. So if the convertible model starts at $30k then what does the 1SS and 2SS convertible start at?
_______________________________Have you driven a Coyote... lately? The beer can that tows your Chevy or Fiat/Chrysler.
To be 100% honest...it debuted on Glee the other night

What is hydrocortisone topical (Pandel)?
Hydrocortisone is a topical steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.
Hydrocortisone topical is used to treat inflammation of the skin caused by a number of conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, or psoriasis.
Hydrocortisone topical may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Hydrocortisone 2.5% Cr-PER
Hydrocortisone 2.5% Oin-PER
Hydrocortisone Valerate 0.2% Cr-PER
What are the possible side effects of hydrocortisone topical?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using hydrocortisone topical and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- blurred vision, or seeing halos around lights;
- uneven heartbeats;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- weight gain, puffiness in your face; or
- feeling tired.
Less serious side effects may include:
- skin redness, burning, itching, or peeling;
- thinning of your skin;
- blistering skin; or
- stretch marks.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Pandel (hydrocortisone probutate cream) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about hydrocortisone topical?
There are many brands and forms of hydrocortisone topical available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended.
Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with hydrocortisone topical can increase the amount of the drug your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Avoid using this medication on your face, near your eyes, or on body areas where you have skin folds or thin skin.
Do not use this medication on a child without a doctor's advice. Children are more sensitive to the effects of hydrocortisone topical.
Hydrocortisone topical will not treat a bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection.
Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse after using this medication for several days.

Summer Struggles: 5 Tips To Beat The Heat Without Breaking The Bank
Staying cool in the summer can become quite expensive if you have the air conditioner running, the fans running and other items that are using electricity to keep the temperature down in the home. Even if you have a pool or another way to play in the water outside to stay cool, you'll find that once you go back inside the house, you're still using electricity in the form of fans and other appliances to beat the heat. Fortunately, there are a few ideas that you can try so that you don't spend a lot of money while still being comfortable in the middle of summer.
Behind-The-Scenes Of Iconic Swimsuit Moments In Film And T.V.
The hotly anticipated Baywatch reboot is premiering this weekend and with it, the iconic red lifeguard suit runs -in slow motion- back onto our screens. The suit provided audiences with some of television's most memorable eye-candy but donning it was no (forgive the pun) walk on the beach. In fact, many seemingly effortless bikini-clad moments bare grueling behind-the-scenes work for the women in them. Here's what it took for some actresses to create their iconic onscreen moments in a suit...and it's not all fun in the sun.

The Fall flow is on around these parts.
While in Vermont, Mass, RI and New York it's been hard seeing their goldenrod blooming and ours wasn't ready yet.
It's been a busy summer for me balancing the new part-time job and winding down my portrait business and haven't been able to check on the bees very often.
In the beginning of August I discovered one colony to be starving. Bees were crawling on the ground all around the hive and seemed barely able to move.
This same colony about 10 days prior had honey and seemed in good shape.
I immediately gave them three frames of honey and reduced their entrance down to a small hole.
They bounced back within 36 hours.
Started checking the others and found several that were also out of stores but weren't starving.
Started feeding them 1-1 syrup to hold them over till the fall flow started.
Around the same time, one of the Nucs (which was in 2 deeps) was full of capped supercedure cells. Maybe 15 or so.
I've had more problems with queens this year. None of the queens I tried to get started survived to start laying so I was preparing myself to write this colony off and maybe do a combine with two other hives.
This colony also needed syrup and took about 4 gallons.
Left them alone and didn't do an inspection till today. Much to my surprise I've got a brood pattern with eggs and larvae. Amazing, it worked I guess.
All six colonies in the home yard are doing well and finally look like they are supposed to in Spring.
With the syrup, they started drawing more comb and are filling it with nectar.
Found the marked queen that came with a package that I purchased in Spring of 2012. She looked huge!
Hope winter isn't as bad as what some are trying to predict it will be.

I think one guy had about 25 Stingrays and all were priced over 300...WAAAAAAAY toooooo hi. Thanks for the links to the craigslist ad's. Im sure those bikes will be for sale for a LONG LONG time. I'd pay 150 for the first listing and no more than 100 for the second. As you can see by most of my posting's..im ANTI-high bike prices. It makes NO SENSE to list these bikes so high. I dont care if they are 2000 years old...the bike has two wheels..a chain and rides like an $89 dollar walmart bike....actually probably worse then a walmart bike. Sure it wont turn heads and get the oooooo's and aaaaaah's..but in the end...my pocket will say aaaaaah thanks for the break today....good choice not paying too much. And not to knock the bikes...they are super cool and nice...just not going to get sold at those prices

Kitchen Style Guide
For many households, the kitchen truly is the heart of the home and the hub of family and social gatherings. From cottage to contemporary, select a style that suits your tastes and lifestyle best.
Colorful and comfortable, with vintage-inspired features, cottage kitchens continue to be a popular choice. Painted cabinets, salvaged hardwood flooring and playful patterned fabrics are hallmarks of this casual, family-friendly style. Design by Sarah Richardson
Still the reigning design style, the timeless look of traditional kitchens speaks to most of us. Cabinets can be painted or stained, and glass-front doors are a popular option, as are multipurpose islands. The best traditional kitchens pull in classic elements without looking too stodgy or trapped in a time warp. Keep the look fresh by mixing in modern or industrial elements like these patinated lighting fixtures or streamlined barstools. Design by Rebekah Zaveloff
Transitional kitchens blend the best of traditional familiarity with modern sophistication to create comfortable, livable spaces. The high-end Calacatta marble countertops and built-in breakfast nook are traditional elements, while the sleek wood-veneered cabinets and ebonized flooring are modern influences. Design by Linda Sullivan
Old World
Intricate moldings, hand-carved details and dark woods are hallmarks of this European-influenced style. Although beautiful, these elements can combine to create a kitchen that feels fussy and dark. Designer Sarah Barnard keeps the look fresh by mixing in updated elements, like the armless upholstered barstool, pop of yellow on the island and graphic, embossed concrete backsplash. Photo courtesy of Sarah Barnard Design
Streamlined and sophisticated, modern style is the forward-thinking relative of contemporary. The cabinets in this kitchen, with their unadorned doors, chrome hardware and flush setting, show their contemporary parentage, but the straight lines and matte cabinet finish is all modern.
Design Tip: Keep the look fresh by adding a geometric glass tile backsplash for color. Photo courtesy of Nicole Sassaman
This small galley-style kitchen epitomizes the sleek, chic contemporary look. The custom flush cabinets, with minimalist doors on top and simple oversize chrome pulls on bottom, are hallmarks of contemporary style.
Design Tip: To make a small kitchen feel larger, paint the cabinets and walls a similar shade. Design by Andreas Charalambous
Add a little va-va-voom to the heart of your home with white or richly stained cabinets adorned with ornamental molding. Romantic style is reminiscent of Old World — ornate moldings, furniture-like cabinets and European accents — but with a decidedly feminine feel.
Design Tip: This is one style where you can go for the glitz. Crystal chandeliers are a must, as are elaborate draperies and printed French-inspired wallpaper. Design by Dave Stimmel
Simple Shaker-style cabinet door details, rustic hardware and open shelving give this kitchen an updated Craftsman feel. Two-toned cabinets in burgundy and gray resemble individual furniture pieces, while the polished oak floors complement the kitchen's timeless charm. Design by Mary Broerman; photo by Greg Epstein
In a Tuscan kitchen, cabinets anchor the space with their sun-warmed tones. Often featuring elements that are seen in both traditional and Southwestern design, this warm and family-friendly style feels casually grand. Copper is often a feature, as are handmade tiles and subtly distressed stone or wood floors. Photo courtesy of Jamie Herzlinger

Binghamton University Ombudsman accepts position at Boston University
Binghamton University Ombudsman Francine Montemurro has accepted a position to create a new ombuds office at Boston University. Montemurro established Binghamton's ombuds office in 1997, serving as an independent, neutral, informal and confidential resource for students, faculty and staff and as an adviser to the University regarding policies, practices and procedures.
Montemurro, who also served as the University's Affirmative Action Officer prior to assuming the ombuds position full-time, "has made significant contributions to the entire University community through her positions," said President Lois B. DeFleur. "We will miss her work with faculty, staff and students and her sound judgment and keen insights."
After receiving her bachelor's degree in 1984 from Binghamton University, Montemurro earned a juris doctorate from Syracuse University. She has taught in human development and in the Binghamton Scholars program, and is a 2008 graduate of the Binghamton University Leadership Academy. As a New York State mediator she has also provided community, family and victim-offender mediation at the Community Dispute Resolution Center in Ithaca, New York.
In her ombuds role at Binghamton, Montemurro assisted individuals and groups on campus in managing conflict and resolving problems in a collaborative way. She will begin similar duties at Boston University in September, reporting directly to the president of the 30,000-student institution.

The only question is, who is learning the most? When a brash hairdresser decides to pursue college, her tutor is an aging professor who has lost his edge in life and education. The results are great comedy as Educating Rita opens at Hope Summer Repertory Theatre's DeWitt Theatre at 8 p.m. on Friday, July 20.
Professor Frank Bryant needs extra money, but he gets more than he bargained for when Rita shows up with her newfound passion for education. Her fresh approach to learning has Frank questioning not only what his colleagues teach, but his own work and himself as well.
Although successful as a film, Willy Russell's comedy comes to life best on stage, especially when David Colacci and Brandy McClendon take on the script. HSRT Artistic Director Colacci continues to create comedic highlights this season in addition to his role in Rumors. During his 16 years with the company, Colacci has created a number of unforgettable roles on stage, including Billy in Billy Bishop Goes to War, Oscar in The Odd Couple, and John Adams in 1776.
McClendon barked her way onto the HSRT stage as the hilarious dog, Sylvia, in Sylvia, and her new take on the Wicked Witch of the West in this season's The Wizard of Oz has earned her rave reviews. Along with Colacci, she is part of the incredible cast that is making Rumors a success.
The two Equity artists are working under the direction of Jahnna Beecham (The Nerd, Chaps).
After opening night, Educating Rita plays just seven more times: July 21, 25, 30, August 1, 3, 7, and 10.
While at the box office be sure to reserve tickets for the other great HSRT productions, including L.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Kinda feel sad for Te'o. On the bare side, he's just a college student getting swallowed up by the media over a fake girlfriend, not over illegal endorsements or steriods. No one's taking about the true portion, which is his grandmother's death. The dude's probably like "WTF Man ???!!!"

Manti Te'o gives an OFF-CAMERA INTERVIEW with ESPN Schapp.
Come on man! If you are so innocent why are you giving an "off camera" interview? If Te'o is simply an innocent victim of a hoax — as he and Notre Dame have insisted is the case — wouldn't he want to face the cameras and tell the whole truth? And with your lawyer in the room!
I'm not surprised he picked Schapp. He doesn't ask good questions IMO and he's not as insightful as his father was. This interview sounds soooo well orchestrated and rehearsed.

I really do hope for his sake that he was actually duped and not involved in the hoax but why am I supposed to take the word of these two people without any evidence of them actually confronting this Lennay Kekua over the internet or on the phone? These two individuals or the anonymous sources claiming that Tuiasosopo has allegedly said Te'o wasn't apart of the scheme have as much validity as me announcing to the world I have the ability to shoot laser beams out of my eyes.
Welcome back gmen
Mood: WOOF!
Either way for Te'o, it's the media that got duped. I'd say good for them even though they'll never stop trying to dig into people's personal lives. In other news, Crimson Tide QB AJ McCarron has a ridiculously hot girlfriend and she's real. At least we know who'll dominate a girlfriend conversation between Te'o and McCarron.

U.S. Natural Gas Storage and The Global LNG Market
|U.S. natural gas storage operators are in a good position to take advantage of growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade. With the largest storage capacity in the world, the United States has the capability to import LNG in the summer for winter peak use. The normal falloff in global natural gas demand during the summer frees up some LNG supplies, but storage operators in many countries compete for this gas. The ability of U.S. operators to attract LNG supplies depends on the relative prices in the United States and other countries. At the same time, LNG imports compete with domestic supplies.

Reviews of this property
My friend and i had a great time at Elise's place. The room was cozy and comfort. The location of the place is super connected to everywhere easily. so much convenient to us. Elise is friendly and fun. She recommended many things to do and places to go. On the first day, we had the best garlic oil thin crust pizza which she suggests ;) All in all, it is a good place to stay :) Thank you Elise.
I stood with Elise the second time. That says everything, doesn't it? Really cosy and clean and you will feel quickly familiar.
Again a great time. I can definitely recomment this accomodation.
The neighborhood very interesting regarding food, lifestile etc. … and safe.
Thank you, Elise!
Elise mad our stay in NY perfect. Elise is such a lovely hoster...if you're interested in nice chats, local tips and an extremely cozy room..go and head to "Elise apartement". If you have any questions, need help..Elise is always a careful hoster.
We slept so wonderful in that spacy bed and we couln`t think of a better place to stay.
Highly recommended.
Thanks so much for this wonderful experience.
Elise is a great host and a very nice and relaxed person to be around. She's been very helpful telling us about bike routes and public transportation. The room was cozy and clean, and the subway is just a few minutes away from the apartment building, so you can get to anywhere in Manhattan in about 40 minutes max.
What should I say, staying at Elise's cozy hut is one of the best things that can happen to you when you visit New York!
A warm welcome after a long journey, very comfortable bed in the night , bagel with cream cheese in the morning - it's like staying at a friend's home. And Elise can tell you so much about New York, where to go, the places not described in your travel guides. Elise was always supportive and helpful.
Her flat is cozy and clean , you could have breakfeast if you like and it it was a lot of fun to talk to Elise in the morning with a coffee pot in your hands or after a long day in Manhatten in the evening. Ask her for all the great options in the neighborhood. Harlem is great with a lot of real hot spots. Good food, great cookies, bars with live music, gospel service ...wow! I never expected Harlem to be so exciting.
I really felt save in the neighborhood, same in the whole town, what really astonished me. I never would have expected to walk alone through Manhatten .
So finally I only can recommend to stay at Elise's cozy hut if you want the real New York experience. Five stars for Elise! I surely will come back :)
We had a wonderful stay in New York. MOstly because of where we stayed and because of all the help and kindness we got from our host Elise. Our room and the apartment was cozy, clean and quiet. We slept so wonderful in a super-bed and we couln`t think of a better place to stay for a New York -tour. We will recommend the place to our friend, planing to go to New York, and everybody else. And we hope to get the opportunity to come back. Thanks a lot to Elise for this great experience.
The apartment is fantastic, it is very clean and comfortable. Elise is very friendly and she will help you need :D
I'm very sorry to write this evaluation so late. We have wonderful memories of the time in New York and in this apartment in the last summer (despite heatwave). The apartment is well situated and very cosy. And Elise is very nice and extremely helpfully.
Kind regards and all the best
Maurin + Nina
Finally our review for our mesmerizing time in NYC...
Thanks to Elise and her positive energy, we had a wonderful time ....we only have one regret today...that we did not stay more... On top of being really flexible, Elise was very helpful... The flat was as described and location was top notch... Close to underground station and Central Park, not to mentioned nice restaurant around (we loved the Ethiopian and Japanese)... Well, a great thank you Elise.... Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year... Faiza and Henri
Despite not so nice weather we spent great days in New York and especially Elise.
The comfortably furnished and clean apartment has contributed to a great holiday feeling. There we felt really at home and not miss anything. Thank you, Elise.
The holidays will be remembered in a very good memory. We will come back. :-)
Trotz nicht so schönem Wetter haben wir tolle Tage in New York und vor allem bei Elise verbracht.
Die gemütlich eingerichtete und saubere Wohnung hat zu einem tollen Urlaubsgefühl beigetragen. Wir haben uns dort wirklich wie zu Hause gefühlt und nichts vermisst. Vielen Dank, Elise.
Der Urlaub wird uns in sehr guter Erinnerung bleiben. Wir kommen gerne wieder. :-)

15th century, Tibet
Size: 16 1/4 in. x 12 1/2 in. x 5 3/4 in. (41.28 cm x 31.75 cm x 14.61 cm)

In the Tibetan Buddhist context, Hayagriva is one of eight major bodhisattvas who take on the wrathful form of a guardian of sacred knowledge. Through rituals and prayer, Buddhists can invoke Hayagriva and use his power to help them conquer obstacles to enlightenment.
The name Hayagriva means "He who has the Neck of a Horse;" accordingly, he has three diminutive horses' necks and heads emerging from his hair. His mouth is open, because it is through sound -- his terrifying neigh -- that Hayagriva dispels demons and afflictions. Under his feet he tramples either snakes or personifications of the causes of mental suffering. The garland of multi-colored severed heads (symbolizing the eradication of one's deluded sense of self) and inset jewels are typical of sculptures associated with the Indian tantric tradition.

Instead of going through the numbers and writing about the market this month, I received a great article from ACRE about the Lee County real estate market. From my observation the last week or two of September is picking up too. Rates are very low and prices are still good for many residential opportunities. Check out the article by ACRE by clicking here.

[quote user="DownWitJPP"][quote user="XxBigWhitxX"][quote user="DownWitJPP"]add to the list Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick[/quote]Wow never would have thought this as a possible match.[/quote]
he prob won't last til 32, but if he does...can never have enough cover corners[/quote]
The thing I like about Kirkpatrick is how physical he is. On a team like the Giants he could be used in a number of ways because he's so versatile. I could see Fewell using him at corner or even that 3rd safety role... He's big and physical enough to cover some of the bigger, faster TE's. In a scheme like the Giants I think he could be all over the place.
Not getting my hopes up but If he somehow fell to the Giants I'd be ecstatic....Don't expect him to but another guy who's versatile like that is Trumaine Johnson who I can see the Giants targeting later.

Funeral home buys new tool, passes down savings to clients
Kline Funeral Home of Pine River and Pequot Lakes recently purchased a computer controlled laser etching machine for etching monuments. Having the device on site could save clients as much as 25 percent of what they would pay otherwise.
Jay Kline, funeral home owner, bought the machine for roughly $30,000 about six weeks ago. Kline's is one of few funeral homes in the state to own a laser etching machine for etching monuments. Most other funeral homes have their black granite monuments etched by outside monument companies.
"There may be one or two in the state that make monuments in-house, but most of the funeral homes in the state of Minnesota have that work done elsewhere by a monument company where we now have the ability to do it in-house," Kline said.
By etching monuments in-house, Kline cuts out the middle man, saving money, but also producing headstones at a rate much faster than businesses that only make monuments.
"We can have it in the cemetery probably within two to three weeks compared to two to three months with a monument company, and since we do it here the cost is less than us working with a monument company with everybody taking a little piece of the pie. We can buy the granite wholesale, make it, put it in the cemetery, and save families quite a bit of money," he said.
Kline and his wife, Jacki, begin by consulting with the family. They then process an image for the monument, which can be as simple as names and hearts or as complex as a landscape or photo. Next, they seek the family's approval.
"Once it's written in stone, that's the way it is. That's why we work on paper first," Jay Kline said. "Some families decide right away that it is what they like. Other times they might change and it goes on and on and you might have eight to 10 hours in instead of two to three."
If the family approves the design, the black granite monument is etched. The etching can take as little as 10 minutes. Creating the design can take two to eight hours depending on the complexity and whether the family approves it the first time.
Even if a family does not approve of a design the first time, granite slabs take a week to deliver. By the time it arrives, the design is ready.
The machine Kline bought is labeled as an all-purpose laser, though for the time being the company will likely only etch granite monuments, granite memorial picture frames and urns.
Business might expand in the future to include other items, such as memorial Christmas ornaments.
If clients ask for a memorial that is bigger than 40 inches by 24 inches, Kline will still have to hire an outside service to complete the job.
"Most standard double monuments are 36 by 18 to 20 inches," Kline said. "I don't think in 25 years I've ever sold a monument that wouldn't fit in here."
Furthermore, monuments made of materials other than black granite require a different method of production and, therefore, would also be processed outside of the company using processes such as sand blasting.
"This is so clean and so safe. It doesn't produce any dust. It doesn't make as much noise," Kline said.
Kline said laser etching allows more detail to be visible than sand blasting, such as fur, leaves or feathers. Certain parts on the laser etching machine have an estimated 10,000 operating hours before needing replacement, at which time replacement parts can cost about $1,500.
"If you run this for 10,000 hours you probably don't mind," Kline said.
The etching machine can also be used for small monuments for family pets, while photos can also be added to existing monuments as well.

That's not bad looking.....Curious since it's a smaller version of the Maxima, why call it Sentra, shouldn't it be more like Lessima or smallima or littlima?

It certainly is much improved from the current gen garbage. I won't get excited until I see interior, prices, and power train. Hopefully Nissan keeps the SE-R. It could be exciting to have the revised 2.5L and CVT in a hopefully lighter Sentra.
