Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2010
|Started up at 4:35AM met up with a good partner and group of people reached the summit at 8:51AM, Stayed about 35 mins on this beautiful day and back to the TH at 1:26PM, fun day. My 51st 14er...........sweet!

|South to North Maroon Traverse
Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2010
|Traversed from South Maroon Peak and descended Northeast Ridge back to Maroon Lake. Haven't seen any other people on the mountain that day. The three mountain goats accompanied me down to the boulder field. The route was not bad, except for the loose upper gully with some exposure to rockfall. Good scrambling, beautiful weather, incredible views!

|Really neat route, but the long gully climb is very exposed to bad rockfall. Be fast through this part - otherwise no worries!

|The route was surprisingly good if you were selective in your path. Planned on doing the N to S traverse, but the weather wasn't cooperating. Thankfully we got well below treeline before the lightning started. Next time it's S to N!

Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2008
|September 2004: I aborted my solo attempt to climb N Maroon at the traverse to the second gully due to the snow falling up high, the rain down low, the upper mountain being obscured in clouds...and a rumble of thunder overhead. I didn't feel like dying that day.
July 2006: Aborted my second attempt, this time with my sister, in the first gully due to the rain that was falling, and the fact that the upper mountain was shrouded by clouds.
August 2008: I returned with my sister and finally made the summit in perfect weather. As we were on the upper NE Ridge, we were dive-bombed by what was likely a golden eagle. This mountain haunts me no more.

|Climbed the Bell Cord (40-45 degrees)and proceeded to traverse to the N summit with Jim, Eric, and Ben. This traverse was so hairy with snow and ugliness we decided it was best to down-climb the 2000 ft North Face. Ben returned to the Bell Cord with Weston to snowboard down. North face is steep and required face in down-climbing and traversing (50 degrees?). LOCO and stressful but fun. Wow, see my pics before attempting this time of year.

|Climbed the standard route on a chilly day. Took a spill on the way down the steep grassy ledges and bashed my shin worse than I ever have before. I was just happy I didn't start tumbling! Got my adrenaline pumping! Re-climbed this peak on 7/29/06 when I did the classic Maroon Bells traverse.
1/5/13 - 3 day expedition up Snowmass Creek. Climbed west facing couloir to Gunsight Notch and then more or less the NW Ridge to summit. Hell yah!
|Posted Mar 28, 2008 9:44 pm
|Much better than South Maroon
|A lot more enjoyable than its sister to the south. I think I'll return to attempt the traverse.

Date Climbed: Aug 31, 1997
|This was my second time climbing North Maroon. Some weather came in which drove away thoughts of doing the traverse. We used our rope to rapel a chimney on the way down. That same spot was no problem when it was dry on the way up.

|From camp at Crater Lake, climbed the South Ridge of South Maroon Peak, performed the traverse to North Maroon Peak, then descended North Maroon's Northeast Ridge back to camp with my friend Keith. Descending North Maroon wasn't too bad except for one gnarly section of down climbing. We stood above that section for a while thinking, "that can't be the way".

New on DVD: Blue Valentine
Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling star in this drama about the painful erosion of a young couple's marriage.
Director: Derek Cianfrance Rating: R Studio: Starz/Anchor Bay
Think of Blue Valentine as an exploration of what happens to some couples after the end credits of any romantic comedy. The first feature-length film by director Derek Cianfrance—let's just get this out of the way now—is not pleasant to watch. It follows a young couple who were once passionate about each other and the slow, painful erosion of their marriage. Falling out of love is never about one thing, and Blue Valentine retraces every painful step.
Dean (Ryan Gosling) is a high school dropout working as a mover who wooed and married Cindy (Michelle Williams), a pre-med student. We learn that the two rushed into marriage after a week-long romance after Cindy discovered that she got knocked up by her previous boyfriend (Mike Vogel). Dean agrees to raise Cindy's daughter, Frankie, as his own, and it's pretty much all downhill from there.
The story unfolds with shots of the present day with Dean and Cindy listlessly sleepwalking through their daily grinds and is peppered with flashback scenes of how the two met and fell in love. In a last-ditch effort to reignite the romance, Dean books a futuristic suite at a tacky theme motel and convinces Cindy to come along. They drink, they reminisce, they try to have sex but they just don't work anymore because something inexplicable is missing between them. Cindy leaves Dean in the hotel room passed out on the floor and returns to work. When Dean awakens, finds her note and confronts her at the doctor's office where she works, the couple lays everything on the line in a marriage-burning finale.
Williams deservedly got an Oscar nomination for her role, and both she and Gosling deserve accolades for their brave, realistic performances. Williams not only bares all in various explicit sex scenes, she bares her character's intense shifting emotions and elicits sympathy even though Cindy is not very likable—she rejects Dean at every turn and it is revealed, in flashbacks, that she feels largely indifferent about her many sexual partners. Here is a guy who genuinely loves his woman enough to raise her ex's daughter as his own, yet this life-altering gesture seems largely unappreciated by a wife who feels trapped by her own bad choices. If this is art imitating life, just hope it is never yours.
Best extras: Both the DVD and Blu-ray contain a commentary track by the director and co-editor, a making-of featurette, a home movie and deleted scenes.

The MTA Board of Directors had a surprise visitor on August 4 during a meeting in Williamstown: U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren, who was in western Massachusetts to attend events and meet with constituents, attended the Board meeting to thank MTA members for their support during her 2012 campaign, in the months since and in the challenging days ahead. She urged members to stay active on key issues, including federal education legislation affecting public schools and college affordability for all students. "I love being in a room full of teachers. It feels like I am home," Warren told the enthusiastic, cheering audience. "Thank you for what you did in the past – but more importantly thank you for what you will do in the next year, two years, three years . . . "If we get out and fight, we win this fight. The people are with us. I'm proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with you all," said Warren, pictured above with MTA President Paul Toner.The Williamstown meeting was held at the beginning of the MTA's five-day Summer Conference. The annual event is held on the campus of Williams College. It features a wide range of professional development workshops, leadership training sessions and events at which educators from Massachusetts public schools and colleges can network, share information and socialize.

Just did a hive inspection on a hive that was doing fine a couple of weeks ago. Bees were agitated, capped brood was in lower box, no egg or larvae. On several frames there were about a total of six or eight very small queen cells spread over a few frames. They were more than queen cups but a poor attempt to build queen cells the size I am used to. Is this just a sign of too early in the season for No. Idaho and not a lot of resources?
Thanks in advance.

"F*** the EU": Top State Dep't official's phone call to U.S. ambassador in Ukraine leaked online
posted at 3:41 pm on February 6, 2014 by Allahpundit
I'd call it a bombshell, not because of what's being said but because we're able to listen to it at all. The identities of the speakers haven't been officially confirmed but Jay Carney didn't deny when asked that this is Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. ambassador Geoffrey Pratt spitballing about whom they'd like to see lead the opposition in Ukraine. The F-bomb is deployed because Nuland's frustrated that the EU isn't doing more to pressure Viktor Yanukovych, the Putin-backed Ukrainian president whose recent deal with Moscow instigated the last few months of protests. (If you're not keeping up with the simmering revolution there, read MKH's useful primer from last week.) It's … mildly interesting, I guess, if you think a diplomat criticizing an ally with an idle profanity in private conversation is some grievous breach of protocol.
Here's the interesting part:
[T]he disclosure represents a potentially big breach in security, which had been tightened at U.S. embassies following the WikiLeaks disclosures of several years ago…
The leak appears to be a smear campaign aimed to split the EU and U.S., who have been critical of the Ukrainian government's handling of the more than two months of anti-government protests. The tape is also likely to fuel Russia's claims the U.S. and EU are manipulating and even funding the protest movement in Ukraine…
[The unknown YouTube user who uploaded the clip] posted a second audio clip that appeared on YouTube of a conversation in German presumably between Helga Schmid, deputy secretary general of the EU's External Action Service (EAS), and EU Ambassador to Ukraine Jan Tombinski. The two voices discuss how the EU is seen by the U.S. as being "soft" on Ukraine.
The security breach is the bombshell. Chats between the State Department brain trust and its top diplomats in the field are, I hope, protected with cutting-edge cybersecurity, especially given the fragility of Ukraine right now. Either this call wasn't or our cyberdefenses aren't as cutting-edge as we thought. Carney pointed the finger squarely at Russia, which is the logical conclusion. It would, I hope, require government resources to unscramble a call like this, and Putin's the one who benefits most if the U.S. and EU are at each other's throats. (Note in the excerpt that a second call, highlighting the EU's perspective on strains with the U.S., was also mysteriously uploaded.) "Coincidentally," news of the call broke big on a day when Nuland herself is visiting Ukraine, just to maximize the embarrassment. Whether this is a veiled threat, to signal that Russia has other, more damning recordings that might be mysteriously leaked, or something else is unclear, but it's perfectly clear that the NSA has (or had) the capacity to respond in kind at even higher levels of government. I hope an embarrassing phone call from Sergei Lavrov or Putin himself to one of their puppets in Ukraine mysteriously hits YouTube next week. Their Sochi global photo op starts today. Why not complicate it for them?

text: I know a few members on here have boats. I'm looking into clubs that allow you to reserve a boat to take out when you want. They allow you to take out different types of boats depending on what you're doing. Wanna fish with your buddies, take out a walk-around. Going out with the family, pick from a number of other boats available. Or so they say. Anyway, on to my question. Does anyone belong or have experience with one of these clubs? We're not ready to buy a boat, but I thought something like this would help us decide if boating is right for us, and what kind of boat we'd need.

All that activity, it seems, has done little to fix the paper's long-term problems: circulation continues to drop, a smaller staff can only do so much. The ProJo — if still the major player in the local media market — does not have the journalistic heft of its glory years.
But the paper is hardly the only one struggling to find its footing in a difficult environment. Experimentation makes sense. And the ProJo's next major effort may be its most compelling to date.
Newsroom sources say the paper is gearing up to launch a Rhode Island version of PolitiFact, the Pulitzer Prize-winning initiative that originated with the St. Petersburg Times in Florida in August 2007.
PolitiFact's reporters measure the veracity of statements made by politicians and pundits with a Truth-O-Meter that offers up six ratings: true, mostly true, half true, barely true, false, and — for real whoppers — pants on fire.
Staffers have also combed through candidate Barack Obama's speeches, position papers, and web site to cull over 500 campaign promises and are now measuring the president's progress on their Obameter.
PolitiFact combines journalism's age-old watchdog function with a bit of the pep and attitude of the Internet era: the project's web site is cleverly and cleanly designed, heavy on graphics and pictures, and utterly engaging.
PolitiFact was initially oriented toward national news. But the St. Petersburg Times has joined with the Miami Herald to launch a Florida version of the site. And it has licensed out its Truth-O-Meter to the Austin American-Statesman for a Texas iteration and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for a Georgia effort.
The state-level projects are subpages on the larger PolitiFact site, rather than subpages on the sponsoring newspaper's site. But the papers have control of the subpages, can sell advertising on them, and can publish PolitiFact items in their print editions.
The ProJo has employed the fact-checking concept in the past — running boxes that provided checks on the truthfulness of political advertisements. But PolitiFact represents a larger, more sustained commitment to the idea. Newsroom sources say the paper has tapped two well-regarded reporters, Cynthia Needham and C. Eugene Emery, Jr., to staff the project.
And the paper is hoping the effort will pay off. PolitiFact has proven a popular feature elsewhere — with the public, if not with politicians — and is beginning to attract advertising.
Bill Adair, editor of PolitiFact, told Poynter Online last month that he hopes to have franchises in all 50 states in time. The franchise metaphor is purposeful — Adair said he has taken quality control lessons from the fast-food industry, with a heavy emphasis on training.
A manual compiled by PolitiFact speaks to its attempt to combine rigorous journalism with a breezy, online feel. The "safety instructions" for the Truth-O-Meter:

Only positive aspect was the location of the flat - the quarter has a good link to public transportation and there are many nice restaurants/pubs around.....
But the flat was not clean - especially the bathroom was not in a good condition. Needs to be restored and cleanliness must be improved.
Summary: We cannot recommend a flat from the owner Kaz. Further information are downside.
Pro: - Clean kitchen & bathroom
Contra: - Dirty places: Many other foreign hairs in our bed, much dust at the
top of the room´s cupboards
- Loud and rowdy place: we had to share the apartment with three other people, on one floor there are four separated rooms close to each other and quite thin walls and doors so that you hear everything.
- heater & hot water: When we arrived the heater & warm water did not
work. We had to search and to start the manual boiler on our own
without any instruction or advices. First night we had a very cold room
because the heater was quite weak
- owner´s behaviour: at our last day when we waked up to spend our last half day in London the warm water did not work any more. Before a long day of travelling we wanted to take a shower but we could not. We tried to call him over 5 times (by losing more than 100 EUR of mobile fees). He promised us to send help but we had to wait more than 3 hours until the cleaning lady came to get the water warm. Next to the money we lost a lot of our valuable time. He promised us to give us money back for this last day.
Until today, nearly 3 weeks later, he did not answer my emails even I wrote him about 5,6 times. In our opinion he seems to be somebody who is answering your emails but after booking the flat we could not reach him and he did not help us at all.
Vey impolite and egoistic behaviour.
Great place to stay! Can't fault a thing. Kaz is a great host and very quick to respond. Pleasure to stay here and will be back to stay at one of Kaz's many apartments on several occasions!
Everything was as it has been described. Nice location! Even though the apartment is in a quiet residential area, shops and bars are close and open till late. Kitchen is fully fitted, bathroom and WC are separated. The room is fitted with all standards and the bed was very comfortable! The whole flat was clean and I met the cleaning lady a few times during my 4 night stay. I haven't met Kaz in person but the communication via Email was really good and he has been very helpful! If I come back to London I will definately stay in this room again. Best value for money!

Long-time stable owner says recent flood was worst he has seen
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - Homes and businesses continued to piece together their properties Sunday, nine days after the clouds opened and drenched the Pikes Peak area with heavy rain.
The Stables at the Broadmoor was hit hard by heavy rain. It's located along Old Stage Road in El Paso County. The area saw 19 inches of rain in several days.
To owner Hugh Trabandt, it's a piece of heaven tucked away in the back woods. The Stables at the Broadmoor is home to horses, buffalo, elk and his family's business. Even this natural treasure couldn't escape mother nature's wrath.
"The flood of '65, the Big Thomspson Canyon (flood), the Ute Pass (flood), this is not by any means the first time," said Trabrandt recounting past floods in the area.
During this latest flood, water tore a hole in the dam at the Stables at the Broadmoor, draining their pond. The water broke through their corral and damaged some trails within the property.
It will take time and thousands of dollars to repair the damage. Trabandt has weathered storms in the past, but this was different.
"This is not by any means the first time, I will not argue that this might have been the worst," said Trabandt.
Trabandt has run the business for more than 20 years. During peak season, around 85 customers ride along the property's trails a day. Customers can also get a glimpse inside the stable's wildlife preserve which is home to elk and two groups of buffalo.
The stables had to shut its doors for a couple days to clean up after the flood. Work continued Sunday mending its driveway and the trailhead nearby. Trabandt was most concerned about getting Old Stage Road reopened as quickly as possible. It was washed out and shutdown for several days because of the rain, turning away would-be customers.
"The road is our lifeline, if we don't have a road, we have nothing," said Trabandt.
Before the road reopened, Trabant's family and the stable's caretaker had to hike or use horses to get food and fuel to the property for several days because large sections of the road were taken out making it impassable. The family depends on feed for keep their horses fed in order to preserve the wildflowers and natural grasses along property.
"Each trip was barely enough to that night," said Trabandt.
Still, he says it could have been worse.
"This could have happened in July when our business is peaking," said Trabandt. He's grateful the heavy rain didn't hit during their busiest month because staying closed for a few days would have cost a lot of money.
The Stables at the Broadmoor was in full swing Sunday running several tours throughout the day. It's back open for business, but there is still a lot of work to do. Hardwork is nothing new for this family. They've spent 20 years building up their business and they've constructed nearly everything on the property themselves.
"Every time we had something put together we could have a snow storm and some of things would break down and we had to start over again," said Trabandt remembering earlier days at the stables.
It may be a long road to recovery, but rain will not diminish his family's resiliency that's kept the business thriving for more than 20 years.

Story highlights
- With a history that spans millennia, New Delhi is replete with ancient monuments and wonders of the world
- The city's bazaars and street vendors also make it a bargain-hunter's paradise.
- From traditional market stalls to upscale boutiques, read CNN's shopping guide to New Delhi
New Delhi strains under the weight of its own UNESCO World Heritage sites. What with the towering minaret of Qutb Minar, the glorious Humayun's tomb and the imposing Red Fort Mughal palace, visitors can feel swamped by the sheer abundance of history on display.
But India's capital city provides more than just awe-inspiring spectacles of its ancient past. With a preponderance of market stalls, bazaars, shopping malls and street vendors, New Delhi is a consumer paradise, lending a much-needed retail counterpoint to all that earnest sightseeing.
To help you separate the glad rags from the plain old rags, here's CNN's at-glance-guide to shopping your way through New Delhi.
Before you start
If the city is just one port of call on an India-wide shopping spree (with a few sights thrown in for good measure), bear in mind that you can arrange for most things -- large or small -- to be shipped back, so that it's waiting patiently on your doorstep when you return home. There are international couriers everywhere, and most hotels can help you arrange shipments for an almost disconcertingly small fee.
Dilli Haat
For the most authentic and down-to-earth shopping experience head to "Dilli Haat" in south-west Delhi. Modeled around a traditional rural marketplace (a "haat"), it features some 200 individual stalls that form a permanent al-fresco arts-and-crafts bazaar.
This is a great place to buy original hand-made items directly from the producers themselves, with artisans from across the country selling everything from panel-beaten silver jewelry to brightly colored linens and vast decorative ornaments.
Be aware, the stalls operate on a rotating basis -- so, if you see something you like, buy it on sight, as the vendor may have disappeared by tomorrow. Dilli Haat is not for the hesitant consumer and haggling the best price is standard practice.
Crafts Museum
Those keen to combine consumer therapy with a bit of heritage should wander over to the National Handicrafts and Handlooms Museum -- one of the largest crafts museums in India.
The 20,000 or so exhibits feature centuries-old textiles, rare metal works and intricately crafted clay pots. But the souvenir shop is almost equally as impressive, with ink drawings on parchment, handmade Himalayan shawls, mirrored fabrics and many other quintessentially Indian arts and crafts available for purchase. In addition, there are often live demonstrations by craftsmen, whose wares go on sale hot off the production line.
Sarojini Nagar Market
A pilgrimage site for bargain-hunting fashionistas, the Sarojini Nagar Market stocks all the latest couture designs before they hit European and American boutiques with eye-popping mark-ups.
Export surpluses and last-minute canceled lines are dumped here en-masse, so check for holes, faulty zips, stains and missing buttons before handing over your cash.
There are no changing rooms as it's not much more than a long road with make-shift shops on both sides. That said, prices are so low that buyer's remorse is a rare experience, with entire wardrobes bought for less than the price of a few beers.
State Government Emporiums
If you're fearful of tourist traps and you're just not the haggling type, then the government-run emporiums dotted across the capital offer fixed pricing and quality-assured "India PLC" produce.
Each emporium tends to have its own specialism, showcasing products from different states. For instance, head to Himachal for blankets and shawls; Tamil Nadu for sandalwood products; Uttar Pradesh Emporium for the incredible stone-inlay work popularized by the Taj, as well as copper, brasswork and leather items; Kashmir Emporium is the place for carpets; and Orissa for fabrics and traditional paintings.
If you've only time for one, however, then the Central Cottage Industries Emporium Central Cottage Industries Emporium is the place to go. -- a six-storey Aladdin's cave selling everything from giant ornamental Gods to packets of exquisitely scented Darjeeling tea.
Khan market
If the rag-tag pandemonium of New Delhi's more traditional bazaars and market stalls is taking its toll, or you hanker for the sight of some familiar shops, then the row of upscale designer boutiques, cosmetic outlets and chain stores in Khan Market will be just the ticket.
With the ex-pat market in mind (the diplomatic enclave is a stone's throw away) the shops here offer home-sick holiday makers the reassurance of popular brands such as the Body Shop and Nike -- and there's even a Subway for the culinarily incurious.
But this is also the place to pick up fine gourmet groceries -- such as Italian pesto and French baguettes -- that will otherwise be difficult to source in other parts of town. Beware, prices are sometimes more upmarket than the goods on offer.
Chandni Chowk
No self-respecting shopper could visit New Delhi without taking the rickshaw ride down to Chandi Chowk, the old city's famously frenetic merchant district.
Spilling over with shops peddling luminous candies, vividly-colored saris and shawls, homecare products, discount electrical goodies, and much, much else besides, this traffic-choked thoroughfare is worth a trip for the atmosphere alone. Haggling like your life depends on it is just part of the fun.

Do you worry that your kiddos are more familiar with Angry Birds than with their multiplication times tables? Chances are you're just like us—guilty of throwing your kids in front of the iPod or iPad just so you can secure a few minutes to finish up that nagging work project or make a couple of phone calls. While Angry Birds will always be one of our favorite apps, there are plenty of apps out there (educational ones, too) that will diminish your feelings of guilt for pawning your kids off on these sweet devices. So in the spirit of spreading the app love, here is our list of our favorite 85 apps for kids and parents.
Bonus: If you caught yourself drooling over the new iPad but can't justify the steep price tag, Red Tricycle is giving away one new iPad. Click here to enter (it's that simple!).
1. Cut the Rope
Age rating: 4+ | Price: $1.99
Oh, what a cute story this game presents! An adorable green monster arrives by mail and it's up to your kids to cut a series of ropes (negotiating the laws of physics and gravity) to feed it candy. The graphics are perfect, the music and sound effects are appealing, and the game play is very challenging. What more could you ask for?
2. Angry Birds
Age rating: 4+ | Price: $0.99
Another silly story line that we just can't help loving. Evil green pigs have stolen these birds' eggs and are now hiding out in their castles. It's up to your kids to wreak revenge on the pigs using (of course!) little red, black, blue, and yellow birds and a giant sling shot. Huh? Different birds have different powers. Some are bombs. Some are speed birds. Some multiply mid-flight. We've lost hours and hours of our lives to this game at our house. Addictive doesn't even begin to cover it.
3. Fruit Ninja
Age rating: 4+ | Price: $0.99
Using their finger as a blade, kids swipe various pieces of fruit that fly up in the air, chopping them in half. In classic mode, they also have to avoid the bombs. This game is fun, easy, and very hard to put down. We like the fact that you get all the action with none of the violence. If your kids are the stress-y type, have them play in Zen mode.
4. Soosiz HD
Age rating: 4+ | Price: $1.99
This awkwardly named app is a really, really fun platform game for the iPad with eye-popping cartoon graphics. What's a platform game? A game in which you jump from platform to platform and over obstacles. In this one, your kids are a cute citrus-y character whose planet has been attacked by spiky bad guys. Bummer. The object of the game is to save the world. Naturally, this is easier said than done.
5. Doodle Jump
Age rating: 5+ | Price: $0.99
The most downloaded iPhone app of all time is even better on the iPad—get ready to jump and jump and jump again in this insanely addictive game. Tilt the iPad left and right to jump from platform to platform. You can also get a boost from jetpacks, propeller beanies, and springs, but watch out for monsters!
6. Chuzzle
Age rating: 4+ | Price: $2.99
A fun, addictive and appropriate for all ages. Kids slide google-eyed chuzzles across the iPhone screen trying to group 3 like-colored chuzzles together. When they do, the chuzzles explode with a giggle, sending fur and eyeballs flying. We've played this game on the PC, the iPhone, and the iPad and the iPad is head and shoulders above the rest. Admittedly, we've lost hours of our lives to it.
7. Pac-Man for iPad
Age rating: 4+ | Price: $4.99
A fun vintage video game app that parents can play with their kids. It's a toss up who will have more fun, but we like the idea of it being an app for the whole family. The joystick takes a bit getting used to, but didn't the original the first time you held it? All the same ghosts and cherries are here to keep you going…
8. Bookworm
Age rating: 4+ | Price: $2.99
An intuitive, educational word search game for new readers, rabid wordsmiths, and everyone in between. Younger kids may need a little help, but they'll soon be hooked too. Link letters left, right, up, and down on your iPhone screen to build words and earn points with this fun app. Make too many short words and you get burning tiles, which can literally blow up in your face.
9. Scrabble for iPad
Age rating: 5+ | Price: $9.99
There is no question that Scrabble is one of the best iPad apps—it's leagues better than the regular iPhone Scrabble app. The older app is kind of hazy on the iPad. We tried them both and Scrabble for iPad feels so much more dynamic. It's got a high price, but for frequent players, bringing the iPad to a friend's house will quickly replace bringing the box. There's even a free companion app for the iPhone called Tile Rack that lets you use your phone as a tile rack for group play—awesome!

people have kneejerk reactions whether its "hes the best ever" bc of a phenomenal game or "he's not elite" bc he has a few bad games yearly.
MS, do you consider how you were saying Peyton was done a month or so into the season a knee jerk response looking back at your comments now? Don't want to go fishing for the posts but I recall seeing some posts where you were adamant that Peyton was not gonna be anywhere near the player he was....
peytons a good example of how people are so quick to forget the things they've said in what I refer to as "knee jerk" responses. A lot of people were writing Peyton off bc he didnt come out lighting it up the way he is now, and look how silly those responses were. Similarily, whenever eli has a rough spot, people come out and claim he was overrated, and a very good but not great qb...and then he leads the team to an epic SB run...twice...Im gonna wait until the final 5 reg season games are played to assess his reg season, then wait for the postseasons conclusion to assess his play there but i certainly believe eli has done way more than enough consistently to be considered elite and that opinion is prevalent now

As Roger Clemens says.."You must be misremembering".
Even in the game where he had the three picks in Atlanta, he still brought them back. Because he's PEYTON MANNING!
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..

I loved this smell it was very manly, almost smelled like a alcoholic cocktail of some sort...woodsy like whiskey. I would have preferred if it had a little more "suds" to it when using, but then again it is sulfate free so i understand why it isn't overly sudsy. I would recommended anyone buy for the grooming of their beard!5
I was so excited to try this product out and am so glad that I did. Not only does it keep my skin clean and healthy under my beard my beard looks, smells, and feels better after each wash. Be sure to read the label and not get it in or anywhere near your eyes, this stuff burns. Very happy with this product and if you have a thick full beard this stuff is the way to go.5

Hey guys i just signed up here wanting to know a little more. Currently own an 03 miata and in the market for a new car, for the longest time ive been wanting an s2000 but after seeing the nicest wrx drive past me today almost changed my mind. What i like about the wrx is the fact that it comes turbo and has alot more low end torque so it would probably be better to drive around town than the s2000 where it has no power till about 6000 rpm. But although i think the s2000 looks more luxurious imo.
Another thing that might draw me away from the wrx is that i heard maintenance is a pain in the ass like 3 hour spark plug changes etc... But that basic mods like intake and exhaust have much more of an effect than if i would get an intake or exhaust on the s2k.
How is the handling compared to an s2k or a miata? Not looking for a car to autocross but i like some decent handling, any suggestions or opinions you guys have let me know and hopefully itll be enough to convince me. thanks

Reviews of this property
Some problems at the begining. Finally we got another room that was also very good and located into the center. Good stay after all. Will recomend it again.
MUY MAL. Reservamos el apartamento con Helena en el Bairro Alto con un mes y medio de antelación y a falta de 4 días nos dijo que el apartamento iban a ocuparlo otras personas porque tenía una doble reserva en otra página de alquiler de pisos. Ibamos a quedarnos allí desde el miércoles Santo hasta el lunes siguiente por 280€, por lo que no es de extrañar que se lo reservase a otros inquilinos con fecha posterior a la de nuestra reserva por un precio mas alto. A falta de 2 días nos dio una alternativa por el mismo precio pero muy lejos del Bairro Alto. El servicio técnico de Wimdu nos aconsejó que no cancelásemos la reserva, como ella nos pedía, ya que si lo hacíamos no tendríamos ninguna garantía y además perderíamos el 95% de la cantidad total. Helena pretendía que anulásemos la reserva nosotros para ella librase de toda responsabilidad y de la penalización que la iba a dar wimdu por anularnos con tan poca antelación a la fecha de viaje. Finalmente, no anulamos y nos alojamos en el otro piso que nos buscó, sin embargo no era en el barrio que queríamos y nos hizo perder mucho tiempo y esfuerzo en ver diferentes alternativas. Un 10 para wimdu por su seguimiento y asesoramiento, ya que de no ser así habríamos perdido mucho dinero y un 0 para Helena...
VERY BAD. We booked the flat with Helena in Bairro Alto ahead of time and 4 days before the incoming she told us the flat were going to be occupied by another guests because she had a double reservation in another web of flat booking. We had to be there from holly wednesday to the next monday for 280€, so it isn't a bad thinking that she reserved it to another people in a later date from our booking for a higher price. 2 Days ahead of time she offered us an alternative keeping the same price but very far from Bairro Alto. Wimdu support team advised us to not cancel the reservation, unlike Helena, who told us to cancel, because if we did it we wouldn't have any guarantee and also we´d have lost the 95% from the whole amount. Helena wanted us to the reservation because in that case she had been free of any responsability and free of the penalization that Wimdu was going to give her for cancelling with such short time ahead to the travel date. Finally, we didn't cancel and we stayed in the other flat she looked for us, however it wasn't in Bairro Alto and it was a very long time wasted and efforts invested in looking for more alternatives. We give a 10 to Wimdu for the follow-up and advising and a 0 for Helena...
Helena is a really lovely and warm person, always helpfully and she was always there, when we needed her. The apartment is really charming and has a nice accomodation with much space. Although it is seated in Bairro Alto with a lot of bars around it, it isn´t loud in the apartment. We enjoyed our stay there a lot!
Muy buena estancia, sin problemas para recoger y dejar las llaves. El piso está en pleno centro y bien ubicado. Acogedor, y cómodo.
Y Helena muy atenta.
Repetiría en la proxima visita!
Mycket bra lägenhet. Rent och snyggt. Bra läge. Sval och skön vilket gjorde nattsömnen gott.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
chezlauren98: here's an idea.
Put a tin of tomatoes in an oven dish. Season with salt, pepper and sugar, and add some crushed garlic if you like.
Get some chicken breasts or thighs with the skin on and sit them in the tomatoes so that the skin is facing up. Rub a little oil on the skins and sprinkle with salt.
Bake in a hot oven (220C/450F) for 20-30 minutes. When it's done, the skin will be brown and bubbly and the chicken will be the same colour all the way through - cut one open to check.*
Serve with rice, pasta or boiled potatoes and a green vegetable like peas or green beans, or a green salad (just because it looks good).
That's a favourite simple meal for when I want to look like I'm being fancy but don't want to do anything too complicated. You can do the same thing with skin-on fish fillets, but it will cook quicker (15-20min). And you can use a jarred pasta sauce, or any sauce, it doesn't have to be tomato. Hope it helps!
*Usually you'd check the chicken is done by poking it and seeing if the juices run clear - but you can't do that when there's tomato sauce everwhere!

Re: Ask me a cooking question
There was a question in this thread earlier about gluten/lactose intolerance and asking for any recipes we could impart. Where's it gone?
Hippytea responded but no can find.
Panic not - just found it. Sorry to disturb.

I need help. My Mum has recently become gluten and lactose intolerant. She's lost so much weight (roughly 15kg) as a result she is now underweight. I would love to know of gluten and lactose free recipes that are 1. Tasty and 2. Could help her gain some weight. She works 13 hour days so preferably something quick and easy. Thank you xx
Hello Danniellejaayne. I'm sorry to hear of your mum's two intolerances, one is bad enough! Being gluten intolerant myself I know how scary 1) it is to be faced with cutting out certain foods which can make you ill, and 2) How daunting it is when setting out to find recipes.
Things to remember,...Just about every unprocessed food, barring grains, is gluten free, and I believe only dairy products contain lactose. There is a world of G/free food out there!!
Unfortunately 'unprocessed' means cooking from the raw materials, and that isn't always quick. Fish is quick to cook, and soups, stews and casseroles may take a while to cook, but are great for freezing, and / or having next day. I think eggs would be ok for your mum, so omelettes filled with tomatoes, mushrooms, perhaps bacon, and the like would make a fast meal. Sauces and gravies can be thickened with cornflour ( corn doesn't contain gluten) Rice milk, (most supermarkest stock it) and I think coconut milk are ok,= lactose free. I'm trying here to give you some ideas, and open up the horizon a bit, rather than give you just 'one' recipe. It's a case of looking at the 'raw' foods, and building from there. Nothing processed can be trusted as G/free, unless purposely produced as such. All fresh meats, fish, fruit, and veg, are both gluten and lactose free, - the world's ya oyster! so to speak.
If in England ( not sure about elsewhere ) bread products can be prescribed by the doctor, - Glutafin bread mix is my favourite - opening up all things you can do with bread, - perhaps not cheese on toast, - but beans - check the labels - are usually G/free, sardines, - anything you would normally have on toast. just check for gluten in anything canned, the bread is nice toasted. Boost flavours with spices and herbs. Buy good quality spices, as cheaper brands often contain grains to bump up the weight, - and it doesn't say so on the jar!
G/free sage & onion stuffing is available, for poultry, - you can make your own, with the G/free bread.
Summer pudding, or bread & butter pudding is possible if you find a nice milk substitute, it's ok made to normal recipes, but using G/free bread.
I do hope to have helped.
Let us know how you get on please.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
A big HELP, please. I'm grasping at straws here but I'm desperate. ITV Food website closed! Can you believe that? I've had a recipe in my Favourites for ages with the plan to start preparing it today. Mike Robinson's Sticky Spiced Pork Ribs, as demonstrated on a Countrywise programme. I've got all the ingredients and need to marinate them this evening for consuming tomorrow. The recipe contains olive oil, maple syrup, hoisin sauce, dark soy sauce and very likely other stuff. No idea on quantities. I'm desperate and would appreciate any help, using the above ingredients. Quantities is the key factor here, cos I ain't done it before. I've searched high and low on Google - no joy. I think the ribs are roasted on 200C for about 1-1/2 hours but again, not sure.
Close your eyes Jamie and my apologies.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Have no idea, Thistledo as I don't cook or eat ribs.
I know that there are a zillion recipes online for same, though, using same ingredients as yours. With a bit of luck Google might come u with your exact recipe.
Good luck

C.O. veterans starting to feel shutdown impacts
'It is trickling down,' says COVO representative
BEND, Ore. - Ten days into the government shutdown, and already veterans in Central Oregon are having problems.
"I began to wonder if there was a problem, and it turned out there was indeed a problem," Joshua Rowley said Wednesday.
Rowley's problems began when he tried to re-certify for the VRAP program, or Veterans Retraining Assistance Program. Usually, he goes online and enters his Social Security number. This month, however, it said his number could not be verified.
"I've always checked in using my Social Security number, and they said, 'Well, we're sorry we don't recognize that number," Rowley said.
He was already enrolled in a quarter's worth of classes at Central Oregon Community College in the culinary program, one of the most expensive programs COCC has to offer.
Rowley began to worry, because he did not budget for the expense. He was relying on the VRAP benefits. He did what he saw as his only option.
"The safe thing for me to do was go ahead and withdraw," Rowley said.
Friday is the last day to drop classes before being held liable to pay for the quarter.
On Tuesday, Rowley returned his books.
"It is trickling down, and right now and it's affecting the veterans that are dependent on these federal benefits," said Darin Darlington of Central Oregon Veterans Outreach.
Rowley tried to call the Veterans Administration to find out what was going on, but there was no answer.
"I repeatedly called," Rowley said.
There are few if any answers right now for veterans or for non-profits like COVO that help them.
"You have the mission, the battle plan and the alternative plan and the alternate plan to the alternate," Darlington said. "So you never get blindsided. So for veterans being raised in that environment there is no battle plan here, there are no contingencies."
Many veterans rely heavily on the benefits they receive, and another date that could cause changes looms in the near future.
"The next thing is the 17th -- I mean, who knows what's going to happen with the debt ceiling issue?" Darlington said.
All veterans can do is wait and hope they are effected as little as possible, although many still have major concerns.
"My major concern would be if that is shut down, where would I get my health care?" Rowley said.

A Stormy Weekend Ahead for Festival Goers
A Stormy Weekend Ahead for Festival Goers
Carteret County - Strong storms are in the forecast for Saturday and part of Sunday. This could bring heavy downpours and lightning across three festivals this weekend. The Pirate Invasion down in Beaufort kicked off Friday. Participants say rain wont stop them from having a good time. They say they are used to pop up showers.
"It has rained before, and it's one of the things you deal with on the coast," says Noilly Platt.
Noilly is a dock liaison in Beaufort during the invasion. She says rain rarely keeps people away.
"There is a lot of things to do inside, there's shops here there's restaurants here there's lots of things to do so if it rains and you can't be in the parade or on the boardwalk, there's lots to do in Beaufort," says Platt.
Katie Clay and Devon Geeney say they love the Pirate Festival. They've been finding ways to cope with the rain.
"It was raining very hard so we saw everyone in the general store with ponchos and umbrella so we decided to get some and then when we came out it stopped raining completely," says Clay.
But Clay says they won't mess around if the storms get strong. When asked if they would go inside at the first flash of lightning, Clay quickly responds "Yes! Just for safety for sure!"
Lightning shouldn't be taken lightly. On Sunday, August 5th ten people were struck at a NASCAR event in Pennsylvania. If you can hear thunder, you are in danger of being struck by lightning. Lightning can strike up to ten miles away from its parent storm. The difficulty with festivals is the noise. Often, festivities make it difficult to hear approaching thunder, or see an incoming storm.
Crew members of the Schooner WOLF sailed in today for the Pirate Invasion.
"We specialize in festivals we have a passenger ship so we can take up to 40 people sailing," says crew member Julie McEnroe.
McEnroe says they always keep a close eye on the weather, especially with passengers on board.
"We don't take our passengers out in bad weather, we want to keep it that way," says McEnroe.
Overall, awareness is the key to staying safe and having fun this weekend. The Shrimp Fest in the town of Plymouth and the Dragon Boat Race in Oriental will also be held this weekend.
All three events will see scattered showers, but festival goers should have no problems if they stay alert to changes in the weather.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- No. 1 North Carolina returns home for its lone game during exam week on Wednesday when the Tar Heels host The Citadel at Boshamer Stadium. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.
The Tar Heels bring in the nation's best record at 41-4 and remain number one in the Baseball America, Perfect Game and USA Today Coaches Polls this week.
Carolina dropped its first midweek game of the year last week, 9-8 against UNC Wilmington, and rebounded with a 10-2 win over Charlotte last Wednesday improving its non-conference record to 22-1 on the year. The Tar Heels are 17-1 in midweek contests in 2013.
The Citadel comes into Wednesday's contest with a 27-18 overall mark on the year and had run off 10 straight wins before losing the series finale at Furman on Sunday.
The Bulldogs own a top 30 scoring offense entering the week as they average 6.7 runs per game.
Junior left-hander Hobbs Johnson will get the start for the Tar Heels after his scheduled start on Sunday was rained out. Johnson is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in 44 innings pitched this season.
The Bulldogs will counter with freshman right-hander Austin Livingston who is 4-0 on the year with a 5.10 ERA in 30 innings of work.
The Tar Heels will have the weekend off for the exam break before returning to action Tuesday and Wednesday (May 7-8) when they host James Madison.

Video: NBC chief foreign correspondent blasts Obama's "Egypt not an ally" statement
posted at 10:41 am on September 13, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Barack Obama's assertion that he doesn't consider Egypt an ally stunned NBC's chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel. Engel, reporting from Cairo, tells Chuck Todd that he needed to "sit down" after hearing that statement. Engel reminds Todd that the US had two major Arab allies in the region when Obama took office, on which it spent a significant amount of foreign aid to keep it that way — Egypt and Saudi Arabia. If we've lost Egypt as an ally, Engel asks, wasn't supporting the effort to overthrow Hosni Mubarak a huge mistake?
Here's a partial transcript:
TODD: I just want to get your first reaction, before you give me a report, of the President saying Egypt was not an ally or an enemy.
ENGEL: Yeah, I almost had to sit down when I heard that. For the last forty years, the United States has had two main allies in the Middle East — Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the other ally in the Middle East being Israel. For the President to come out and say, well, he's not exactly sure if Egypt is an ally any more but it's not an enemy, that is a significant change in the perspective of Washington toward this country, the biggest country in the Arab world. It makes one wonder, well, was it worth it? Was it worth supporting the Arab Spring, supporting the demonstrations here in Tahrir Square, when now in Tahrir Square there are clashes going on behind me right in front of the US embassy?
You can see now teargas coming — teargas being fired into a crowd of demonstrators who are trying to get close to the embassy, which is at the end of the street, and throw rocks at the US embassy. A very different scene here, a very different Egypt before, when the United States — President Obama — was supporting the demonstrators, President Mubarak was in power, and Egypt was very much an ally. The President doesn't seem to be sure if Egypt is an ally any more, and some demonstrators who the Arab Spring helped give a voice to are trying to attack the US embassy.
Who lost Egypt? Barack Obama. His administration waited eight whole days when those demonstrations erupted to demand Mubarak's ouster, and then insisted on immediate elections — even though the only opposition organized well enough at that point in time for elections was the radical Muslim Brotherhood. In both Egypt and even more in Libya — where Obama applied military force to dislodge and topple Moammar Qaddafi — the White House left power vacuums that allowed the most radical elements to seize control. Critics of Obama's policies in both regards warned of this very outcome eighteen months ago, to no avail.
It looks like the media may have finally decided that Mitt Romney's criticism of an embassy statement that even the Obama administration ended up disavowing isn't the biggest issue at stake here. We're watching the collapse of decades of diplomacy and the Pax Americana within a few short weeks. Engel's not the only one who has to sit down over the stunning declaration that we've lost Egypt as an ally.
Addendum: Here's a good question: What lesson has Obama taught our other major Arab ally, Saudi Arabia, over the last two years?

The 10th Annual Microsoft Imagine Cup starts on July 6th in Sydney, Australia. GeekDad is profiling Imagine Cup alumni leading up to the world-wide finals. For more information, be sure to follow Daniel Donahoo's coverage of the event.
The Imagine Cup's tagline is "Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems." It's an ambitious goal, and one that is smartly conceived for a global competition. It focuses competitor's projects into something that has humanitarian implications instead of purely commercial. And everyone's take on what real-world challenges are important is going to be different and, in many ways, local. The projects I get the most excited about are the ones that take on the humanitarian angle and succeed. One example of that success is demonstrated by the Czech team, GINA, who competed in the Imagine Cup world-wide finals in Poland in 2010.
The GINA system, which stands for Geographical Information Assistant, is designed to allow people to share information based on location. Specifically, rescuers can coordinate and log information to more effectively enter a disaster area and share what they see or do. For example, photographs, videos or even drawings made on an internet enabled mobile phone are geo-tagged, uploaded and shared immediately to other rescuers in the area. A map can display everyone's tags, using icons on push pins that represent various types of information. At a glance, you can view a map of an area and begin to get an impression of what's happening and where you should focus your efforts.

Web Exclusive
Carrier Classic special for Marquette basketball's 'Army brat'
By Chris Jenkins
Photo courtesy of Marquette University Athletics
Like most of his teammates, Marquette guard Derrick Wilson was excited going into Friday night's Carrier Classic a season-opening matchup with Ohio State held on the deck of the USS Yorktown outside Charleston, S.C.
But the game might be an even bigger deal for Wilson's father, Dennis, a recently retired 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army.
"He's really excited," Wilson says. "I'd almost say he's more excited than I am."
A self-described "Army brat," Wilson was born in Germany and followed his family as his dad was stationed in far-flung destinations such as El Paso, Texas; Izmir, Turkey; Augusta, Ga.; and Anchorage, Alaska.
The military lifestyle can be a challenge for some families, especially kids: Just when you seem to get settled in somewhere, it's time to move and make new friends in a new school.
But Wilson sees his childhood as a gift, forcing him to come out of his shell and develop personal skills at an early age.
"It's easier for me to just go have a conversation with somebody," Wilson says. "I've always had to do it, because I've always had to make new friends and get to know people around me."
He also got to see more of the world than most kids.
"Not a lot of people get to Turkey in their lifetimes," Wilson says. "Not only that, a lot of people don't get to leave the state where they live, or out of their region, in this country. Just the traveling and meeting all different types of people from everywhere in the world, just doing those type of things things that people don't do on a regular basis I think that's a great experience that's kind of hard to get from somewhere else."
Wilson says his experiences growing up will help him later in life. Before coming to Marquette, he went to a boarding school in Connecticut. And because his family now lives in Anchorage where his father works as a contractor on an Air Force base he only gets a few trips home every year.
"Once I get done with Marquette, and have to move somewhere else, I can easily adapt because I've been through it four or five times in my life," Wilson says. "It was fun, though."
That said, he and his two brothers have decided that the military life isn't for them.
"You have to really be focused and know what you're getting yourself into," Wilson says. "I don't think me or my brothers ever wanted to do that."
Going into the Carrier Classic, a game set up to benefit several military-themed charities, Wilson says his father's experiences have given him a deeper appreciation for what's required of men and women in the armed forces.
"Having a military father, you can see a lot of those things firsthand," Wilson says. "I think that's what makes it a little bit different for me than everyone else."

Nice and kind house holders, very pleasant to every request. The room was very good looking, and the best was one of the best I ve ever slept. The breakfast was delicious and massive. I d definitely sugggest this place.
My friends and I had a real pleasant stay and felt very welcome. The rooms were clean and tastefully furnished and the breakfast was gorgeous! There's nothing more to say, it was simply great! Thank you!
We stayed 4 nights at this B&B. There are 2 separate rooms and one bathroom we shared together. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the bathroon modern. The breakfast Eric prepared fresh every morning was really excellent, a real Scottish breakfast, and for me I enjoyed the haggis! Eric and Alessandro are very friendly and helpful. They gave us a lot of support.
The City of Edinburgh is easy to reach by bus route 25. In the night the 25N doesn't run there so it might be the best to choose bus 22N.
So we three enjoyed the stay at Rainbow B&B very much, it is really an excellent accomodation with very friendly hosts and again an excellent breakfast." Bravo Zulu" as in the navy is said. We are absolute sure to book the same accomodation again during our next Edinburgh trip.
Mathias and Kristina and Frauke
absolutely nice place to be, very friendly. a first class breakfast for everyone, and very clean and comfortable. Close to the City. Bernd
Eric was a wonderfull host. The rooms (and the beds!) were very comfortable. They were decorated with love and the facilities were great. The tranquility of the house made it a real holiday.
Thanks for the very helpfull tips in this great city!
Though it was only a short stay, we enjoyed it very much. Everything was organized perfectly. Eric and Alessandro are friendly, helpful and caring. We had a very delicious breakfast and the rooms are nice, cosy and clean. When we come back to Edinburgh some day, we'd love to stay here again. And we will recommend it to our friends without hesitation. .
Our stay in Eric's B&B was really marvellous. The house is located next to a small park, getting into town from there is very easy - there is a bus stop only a few meters away. The house is very tastefully and lovingly decorated. Thus, you feel at home there immediately. Each of us got his/her individual breakfast every morning. Eric is a really nice and caring host and it is a pity that there are only five stars to give ... we could easily have given six :-). We would definitely book at his B&B again, it is an absolutely recommendable place!
We had a brilliant stay, bedrooms were lovely and great location with bus stop right outside to get into Edinburgh town centre. Eric's breakfast was fantastic and he was always on hand to answer any questions we had. Would stay again and highly recommend.
