Tech trends set stage for mobile, playful 2014
Twitter's triumphant market debut, the rise of smart fashion and a new generation of game consoles highlighted the tech world this year, portending more mobile and social trends in 2014.
Meanwhile Apple regained some lost momentum and Microsoft sought to reboot by announcing it was seeking a new chief executive.
Twitter – The one-to-many messaging service made the most hotly-anticipated stock market debut of the year in early November. Twitter, which has yet to make a profit, saw its shares leap out of the gate and is credited with helping to fuel a stock market rally along with fears of a new Internet bubble.
Netflix – Faith that the online streaming television and film service showed in digital content is paying off. Netflix competes with HBO and its share price more than tripled in 2013, but growing competition includes a streaming video service by Amazon.com.
Video Games – "Grand Theft Auto V" set new records in production cost as well as speedy sales. The game cost as much to make as a Hollywood blockbuster, but racked up more than $1 billion in sales in the three days after its release. In November, Microsoft and Sony released new-generation Xbox One and PlayStation 4 video game consoles, respectively, each selling more than a million units in the first 24 hours on the market.
Bitcoin – This digital currency weathered a mini-crash and rebounded by year's end. Popular with geek treasure hunters who "mine" bitcoins online, the Internet version of cash is also tempting to criminals. It was used for payments at online drug black market Silk Road, which was shut down by US police in October.
Google – Google's Android software has come to dominate a smartphone and tablet market once ruled by Apple gadgets. But spins put on Android devices by device makers frustrate "app" developers, and Samsung has started to pull away from Google by emphasizing its own platform. Google is also getting attention for innovations such as Internet-linked eye wear, robotics, and high-speed cable lines.
Phablets – Big screens on smartphones have become big hits with users, with handsets growing nearly as large as tablets.
Personal Computers – Global PC sales continued to slump as smartphones and tablets became more central to accessing the Internet. Microsoft, which built its technology empire on packaged software for PCs, is under pressure and its Windows 8 operating system received a mixed reception.
Apple – The culture-changing California company rolled out slick new iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers while an arguably spoiled marketplace watched in vain for "the next big thing," such as an iWatch or revolutionary iTV box. If Apple sticks to its pattern, the time to wow the world will be in 2014. iPhone remains a bestseller and appeared poised to debut on the colossal China Mobile network.
BlackBerry – The smartphone that pioneered the market, and once ruled workplaces, missed with a new BB10 platform seen as crucial to its revival, if not its survival. Between job losses, an aborted sale of the company and departure of the boss and other leaders, the group is at the brink.
Wearable computing – Bracelets, pendants, eyeglass frames and other accessories infused with sensors, computing power, and connections to the Internet through smartphones or other means kicked off a "quantified self" movement. The merging of fashion, wardrobe and computing is likely to accelerate in 2014, with devices promising to help people stay fit, informed, comfortable, and more.
Startups – Tumblr was bought for more than $1 billion by aging Internet pioneer Yahoo and Snapchat reportedly turned down a multi-billion-dollar offer from Facebook as established Internet giants seek to stay young and hip by snapping up promising new technology enterprises. Glenn Chapman

Oct 24, 2009 at 2:12 am #1240530
Below is my 3 season gear list, tell me what you guys think, if you see any improvements to be made:
At the end i have added my estimated dehydrated food weight plus estimated backpack weight plus est insulation weight (in the case of winter)
I live in the Southeast, which is why i mainly use wool over synthetics, incase anyone was wondering.Oct 24, 2009 at 9:31 am #1539282
Troy AmmonsBPL Member
Its a good start and I dont want this to sound to critical but some of your weights seem like they are off.
BPL spork is .6 oz not that it makes a big difference.
Also you can do a tough 3 cup bag cookset with everything but the alc bottle in 5oz just as a suggestion.
My driducks are a tad over 10oz for XL.
2L of h20 is roughly 4# or 64 oz.
I do think a 40dF bag might be a little light for 3 season depending on where you are and when. Most people carry a 20dF bag on an AT thru. Of course you can supplement it with clothing but a warmer bag is safer.
Overall I would say try to hit 6# for a big 4, eqiv in hammock gear. At least that is where I am on the ground. It may be heavier with a hammock like 7-8# but that still works.
All the remainder of your gear should be around 6-7# plus
2# of food per day (5 days) is a good number. 4# for 2L of h20.
28# total.
I did not go totally through your list in detail, but I did not see some things as inportant to me. You may not need them.
Extra set of dry cloths in a dry bag of some sort. (UL like thorofare. I got mine at the salvation army. A pair of nylon running pants and removed the liner and a silk shirt. Cost about $5)
Extra set of johns for sleeping. I carry silk.
Extra socks (I think those are on your list)
Wool gloves (I use mine as a pot lifter)
Wool cap.
Rain hat.
If you already have your bag, later on a golite ultra 20 quilt would probably be a better hammock choice.
Probably some other odds and ends too.Oct 24, 2009 at 11:17 am #1539299
I dont have the regular driducks, i hvae the one with the hood that zips into the jacket.Oct 24, 2009 at 11:20 am #1539300
my spork is .3Oct 24, 2009 at 11:22 am #1539302
The clothes listed are the extras, i am not counting the clothes i am wearing in my weight, as its not in my pack. I know you guys count everything from sunglasses down, but i just dont consider it weight if its on my body and not in my pack, hyoh. So i got that base covered.
Yea i would supplement with a warmer quilt depending on where i am going. I have a jrb nosniv.
I revised and uploaded my new list.
Went from 2 extra pair to 1 extra pair socks
Removed ziploc bowl (not needed i use dehydrated meals and can drink tea/coffee from the pot)
adjusted error in water weight
I accounted for the extra winter clothes in the 1.5lb extra clothing estimate.
I know my list is not ULTRAlight, but i dont care. I am strong enough to easily carry 20-25lbs total weight with everything full(consumables). I tried it out two weeks ago for a few days, so easy, could easily do any kind of mileage i wanted like this. I only weigh 155 and it seems as i've been working out since i was tiny, so i prefer to have the extra luxiers as i dont feel much pain anyway from the weight. I could never sleep on the ground again after seeing how nice the blackbird hammock is. =)Oct 24, 2009 at 11:51 am #1539306
Troy AmmonsBPL Member
Got it you have the non folding spork.
That sounds about right. Add 2# for a pack and 10# for food and you are around 26#.
I am the same as you. I dont count anything not in my pack.Oct 28, 2009 at 8:57 am #1540423

Nice list. I went thru and played advocate for lighter a lighter load.
Question, how long is this trip? (the fuel and food weights are hard to understand)
Icebreaker Undies – 2.4oz
You carry your undies? Just bring one pair, and wear 'em. You'll be fine.
Hammock + Whoppies + stuff sack – 23.4 oz
THe HAMMOCK is a full 23.4 oz, (plus a few hammock related extras) and that is a big % of your load. Re-think if you truly NEED this item. (yes, they are fun and cool) you will save weight by nixing this (totally your call, I understand the fun factor.
You list a variety of stuff sacks – try and minimize them.
One COMPACTOR BAG is all you need. Do not take two.
Medical kit is 3.6 oz. You could trim that down a bit by repackaging into smaller vessels and taking less of each item.
Hygiene kit is 5.5 oz. You could trim that down a lot by repackaging into smaller vessels and taking less of each item.
Diagonally Cut Platypus 2 Liter Scooper – you could use a mug, but this is a very light option. Or, better yet – Use the scooper as your eating mug and water scooper!
TP? you can take that weight to ZERO by leaving it behind. And almost 4 ounces is too much anyway.
Minimize your water vessle and treatment weight. You carry too much. Here's what I would recommend:
1x Platypus 2-liter bottle (2.3 oz)
1x repackaged aqua-mira kit (approx. 1.5 oz)
– – – that's all – – –
You have a 3 pound pack? Wow, that's enormous by UL standards. I encourage you to get something lighter.

Psychic Tiffany Mitchell Resurfaces - Lindsay Lohan Accuser Hires Gloria Allred
Psychic Tiffany Mitchell has resurfaced, Lindsay Lohan's alleged assault victim has hired celebrity civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred.
Mitchell - who has already pressed criminal charges against the 'Liz & Dick' actress and claims she hit her in the face and spat on her - has hired the well known legal expert, who has previously represented one of Tiger Woods' mistresses and has also taken on alleged sexual harassment cases against Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Travolta and Rob Lowe.
Gloria told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "I can confirm that I am representing Tiffany Mitchell and I have no further comment at this time."
The 26-year-old actress is accused of assaulting psychic Tiffany in New York's Avenue nightclub in the early hours of Thursday morning (22.11.12) and is allegedly relieving her stress about her worrying financial situation and her impending probation violation with daily binges to numb the pain.
Meanwhile, Lindsay will be formally charged with lying to police about being behind the wheel of a car during a crash in June on December 15, a direct violation of her 2011 probation in connection with her conviction for stealing a necklace.
If found guilty of a probation violation, she could be sentenced to more than 250 days in county jail.

please post a great tree for my 3 hives lol .
It depends on where you live and what you are looking for. Nectar/Pollen/Both.
Black locust. Catapla (Catawba). Bee Bee. Tulip poplar. American Holly. Sourwood. Maples. Hackberry. Peach. Apple. Mulberry. PawPaw. Crape Myrtles.
i live in tucson
Best place to ask would be in the Bee Forum or Bee 101. There are many beeks that live in the SW are on this website.
This is what I do walk thru the nuserys when flowers are blooming and see what the bees are mostly attracted too..Drummond red maple (Acer rubrum drummondii
I have been wanting to put out a swarm bot behind Lowe's. The back of Lowe's is undeveloped because I think it is flood plain of the Stone's River. I always see a lot of bees on the flowers at Lowe's. Gotta remember to make and setup a trap back there.

Ha yeah I do. It is strange thats why I posted it. I cant remember how it happened and I dont use ketchup on a lot of stuff but for some reason I liked it. Its not real appealling to the eye but I like the taste. The only other way I eat cottage cheese is on a tossed salad mixed with french dressing.(I almost like it this way better)Ive never heard of anyone else liking this but my mom said she heard of a president(cant remember which one)that also liked it.
Cant say I like ketchup that much. But how about some Waffle House?
Anything on their menu.
Ok...Yum on waffle house menu..

Don't Pursue Feelings. Pursue Christ.
from Joe Thorn May 29, 2017 Category: ArticlesHuman beings are emotional creatures. We love or hate, feel happy or sad, angry or joyful. And yet christians sometimes struggle with integrating emotion into their spiritual lives and end up falling victim to dangerous tendencies when it comes to their emotions. These tendencies occupy two ends of a spectrum... Keep Reading
Why Did Jesus Heal?
from John MacArthur Mar 03, 2017 Category: ArticlesGod's fullest self-revelation as Savior came in the person of Jesus Christ—God in human flesh. The incarnation itself was an expression of sympathy and identification with our weakness (Heb. 4:15). In Christ, we can see countless expressions of divine compassion translated into human idioms that we easily understand and identify with—including sadness, sympathy, and tears of sorrow. Though sinless Himself, Jesus suffered all the consequences of sin in infinite measure—and in so suffering, He identifies with the misery of all who feel the pains of human anguish. This was the whole reason God the Son became a man: "He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted" (Heb. 2:17–18). "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin" (4:15). Keep Reading

Chemist Marcel Bruchez and Colleagues To Develop Probes To Understand Neuronal Navigation
"A human has 100 billion neurons, and each of those neurons makes between 1,000 and 30,000 very specific connections. If those billions of neurons were randomly connecting, it wouldn't work — the number of connections would get too big and the nervous system would be horribly mis-wired," said Marcel Bruchez, associate research professor of chemistry and program manager of Carnegie Mellon's Molecular Biosensor and Imaging Center. "Neurons have a very well-defined map to follow for finding the right connections, but we don't understand how they read this map."
Leading the nerve cells to their specific targets are growth cones, specialized structures within the tip of the neuron's axon. Within each growth cone is a tiny molecular navigational system that guides the nerve cell down a winding path while sensing the cellular terrain, allowing the cell to find its synaptic target.
"Everything a growth cone needs to find its neuron's connection exists inside the growth cone. It doesn't need to communicate with the nucleus, which is what we always think of as the cell's brain," Bruchez said. "The growth cone is autonomous, like a robot or GPS system that reads the map and decides the direction in which the neuron should go."
Bruchez and colleagues, which include Fred Wouters from the Goettingen Medical School and Christine Holt from the University of Cambridge, believe that the growth cone makes decisions through a combination of integrated molecular cues. However, since the growth cone is so small and only contains a small fraction of the nerve cell's content, it has been difficult to study the molecular processes at play in neuronal navigation. Traditionally to see such processes, researchers would load the growth cone with dyes that would make the cellular actions visible under a microscope, but introducing large amounts of dye to this limited cellular environment would disturb cellular function.
Through the HFSP-supported project Bruchez and colleagues will attempt to develop a sensitive set of probes that will report on the molecular activities at the growth cone including protein synthesis, protein degradation and protein folding. If successful, the probes could yield vital information about how the nervous system develops and repairs.
The HFSP supports novel, innovative and interdisciplinary basic research focused on the complex mechanisms of living organisms, such as molecular and cellular approaches to systems and cognitive neuroscience. A clear emphasis is placed on novel collaborations that bring biologists together with scientists from different countries to study concepts at the intersection of diverse fields including physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science and engineering.

June 5, 2013
KNOXVILLE - On Wednesday afternoon University of Tennessee women's tennis co-head coaches Mike Patrick and Sonia Hahn-Patrick took part in the 2014 ITA Kick-Off draft.
The purpose of the draft is to select where the Lady Vols will play during the 2013 ITA Kick-Off Weekend, a two-day tournament to determine which teams will qualify for the ITA National Team Indoor Tournament.
The Lady Vols, who had the third pick in the draft, will be headed to Clemson for the preliminary round where they will face off against either the Tigers, Purdue or Fresno State.
"We were looking to play at a place where we would see teams not on our schedule for 2014," said co-head coach Mike Patrick. Next year we are going to be young team so we are looking for an opportunity to compete against people and get some experience. Going in and trying to win is our goal but we are also trying to get experience for the team."
It has been a long time since the Lady Vols have played at Clemson with the last meeting in Clemson, S.C. coming on March 21, 1998.

Just Fabulous
By Carol
from Whitby
I have to agree with Marnie. This is a great dress.I also found the neckline to be too wide. However I have a beautiful print sleeveless top with the exact colouration of the dress which I will wear under it. I also thought that the draping in the front would accentuate tummy but not so. It hides all problems which we think we have. Brian has hit another run out of the ballpark with this dress. The camel colour goes beautifully with red hair and I just love this dress.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

from DARTMOUTH
I first saw this dress on one of the hosts -and she looked sooooo fabulous that I went online right away and saw it was a Brian Bailey dress-This dress is not blue but the most perfect teal blue color-I just had to get it!!!! The material-being a rayon blend-gives the dress a firmness of texture so it is not slinky polyester.You may need a chamise because the front can open kinda wide!!!The bow and drape is a fantastic touch and adds a bit of drama to the dress!!The fit is roomy--keeping in mind that this is a straight line dress-- and the length is not short-somewhat shorter than a tea length.I love love my dress and it is one I hope to have for a long time.This is my first Brian Bailey purchase and I am not disappointed at all.It is a wow dress!!!!

not a good camel color
After being ecstatic over the blue dress, I wanted this camel color to work for me as well, but sadly it does not.This dress fits really well and has the same wonderful "character" as the blue but the camel color is not a clear light camel but rather like a light tan brown and "muddy" looking-The color does not do justice to this wonderful dress.Maybe the color will suit someone else and that is why I give it a 5 star and would recommend it.
Didn't like it
By verna
from sydney, n.s.
I bought this dress in the camel. I wore it to a function last evening and the color is not as illustrated. It is a drab color and although I usually love BB designs, this one is not one of his better ones. Since I have already worn it, I can't return it, but overall, I am disappointed. The sizing, color, is not impressive.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Disappointed and done!
By Sandi
from Newmarket
I was excited to receive this pretty garment based on the reviews. This dress certainly deserves a 5* based on the quality. The reason for the 1* is the size chart only. I've found that with this collection it is hit & miss as far as the sizing goes. I've had to return other BB items due to size chart issues and it is, quite frankly, annoying as well as a waste of money for the s&h charges.I ordered a large based on the bust measurement shown on the product overview page. It says 36" and I am 38.5". Honestly this dress was a good four inches too big at the bust, waist and hips.. I have returned the dress and have decided not to exchange for a smaller size! For now, I give up on this line. Sorry

Beware of damage
By Paulasomebody
from Prairies
I received my dress today and was disappointed to see the bow was torn off on one side and there was a hole in the dress where the bow had been attached. I phoned immediately and was advised that my shipping wouldn't be refunded as there were still items in stock. I did reorder but am extremely apprehensive that the next one may be the same. Moral of the story check out your purchases immediately. I am not very happy with the customer service though. It is a waste of my time when the product was clearly defective.

The next morning we woke up and checked ourselves out.. The stomach felt fine, the rear wasn't burning, overall we couldn't have been better! We sure showed those food hygeine standards who was boss! Feeling great, we spent this day wandering the beach which we had visited the night before. It was a nice walk and was a great relaxing way to spend the day before having a traditional Uruguayan BBQ at 11pm at night.
The next day in Montevideo was spent wandering some streets and visiting a look out which overlooked many of the cities buildings. It was a difficult building to navigate, as the look out was on level 22

Please help :)
My trusty Olympus has been playing up recently. It's well used so it's done very well. But I'm now looking for a new camera and where better than to ask the other people of dreamstime !!!
I do a lot of travel photography so I don't want anything too big I have been looking at bridge cameras. Also don't want to spend huge amounts of money!!!
The most important thing (of course) is the quality of the photos.
Any ideas?
In my last blog I was asking people for their advice on a new camera. So a big thank you to everyone for your helpful comments. I finally decided to go for the Fuji finepix Hs20 exr. So far it has been brilliant. I love the manual zoom, which not many of the bridge cameras have and I think the quality is very good. I've only used some of the settings so far and I'm really excited to play around with it further.
So these are the first uploads from this camera. So far so good.

Certified Transmission Damaged my motor Gladstone Missouri
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In June of 2012, I took my classic vehicle (1967 Oldsmobile) to Certified Transmission in Gladstone, MO. At that time I reported that my car was having problems shifting and I wanted their opinion on how best to rectify the situation. They agreed and I left my car in their care. Approximately 1 week later I received a call from the representative at Certified Transmission informing me that they had completed the transmission work, but there seemed to be a very loud noise coming from the motor, and had I noticed it. I informed them that I had not and immediately went to the shop to see what was happening. When I arrived and heard the noise I immediately shut off the motor and had my car towed to my engine mechanic.
Between my engine mechanic and Jasper motors, they investigated the situation and found foreign debris in two of the eight cylinders. This debris was not present when I dropped off my car because the motor was running fine when I took it to Certified Transmission.
I notified Certified Transmission in Gladstone, MO of the findings in person and followed up with the corporate office in Omaha, NE by certified mail.
Certified Transmission conducted their own internal review and they are saying that there is no way they could be to blame and they are unwilling to pay for the repair costs.
I would like Certified Transmission to compensate me for my actual out of pocket expenses I've had to incur as a result of damage to my vehicle. By way of the 2 certified letters that I have sent, including photo evidence of the damage to the motor, I believe that I have made my case that this damage occurred while Certified Transmission was in possession of my vehicle.

A new study on "virginity pledges" suggests that they are ineffective and perhaps dangerous. Should we rethink how we approach teenagers about sex?
This month's issue of Pediatrics includes a study by Janet Rosenbaum of Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health on the effects of "virginity pledges" — public vows to abstain from sex until marriage. Using a newer, more effective method to analyze data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), Rosenbaum finds the mere act of taking a public vow of abstinence ineffective and likely to lead to riskier choices if (or when) teens have sex.
The study found that teens who took a virginity pledge have sexual relationships that are nearly identical to those of similar teens who did not make such a pledge. The one area in which the pledge does make an impact is negative: Teens who took a virginity pledge and did have sex were less likely to use condoms and other forms of birth control.
The bottom line: Taking a virginity pledge is at best ineffective, and may even be dangerous for the health of those who break their pledge.
The study also has a warning. By focusing on virginity pledges, parents, churches, and sex educators may not only be wasting resources, but may actually be causing harm as well. Those who take virginity pledges — indeed, because they take virginity pledges — are more likely to have unprotected sex when they do have sex. The reason for this unintended consequence is unknown. It is unlikely due to a lack of sex education in school, as those who take a virginity pledge report the same type of health and sex education as other teenagers. Perhaps (and this is only a hunch) when a teen takes a virginity pledge, parents ...1

|Item does not supporrt Sleeper function for BB Torch
User: George M, Aug 25, 2010
|I specifically ordered this item as it was advertised with sleeper function for the new BB Torch (9800). However, it does NOT support sleeper function for the Torch which is disappointing as the case itself is made of a great material and looks sturdy. I will be returning the item.
|Will not put device to sleep
User: Eddie T, Aug 19, 2010
|My pros and cons say it all. The devices sleep function magnet is located smack middle of the device. This universal side case will not put your device to sleep. Will be returning.

38 chevy pickup
I got a 38 Chevy pickup and looking if there is a visor for it or if a visor off a car would fit? If anyone has any tips please let me know.
There are some visors that are model specific. fit certain years, bodies , others were universal, one I have has a 6 in wide stainless center section and the side pieces slide into it, the mounting brackets have slots and a few holes. Build your own? Check out the metal working sites Metalmeet. all metal shapers etc , David gardiner in england has built a lot of things with simple metal tools, also check out the eBook here on HR, the scratch built hotrod. Cboy has lot of good info.
A quick look at Chevs of the 40s does not specify truck or car for 38 Chevy sunvisor, so maybe it's the same. Quite pricey, though. I suspect one could fairly easily adapt something from any number of junkyard sources unless you are determined to stay original. I'm assuming you are referring to interior visor.
exterior ?
I was thinking of an exterior visor,/ ? you could start with a section of a roof from some other car, hand form and wire the edge, just a lot of time with a ding hammer.
Definitely exterior visor. I like the idea of a roof section! Awesome idea!

Seems like most folks nail their langs together from what I read. Is there a problem with screwing them together?
Seems like most folks nail their langs together from what I read. Is there a problem with screwing them together?
Glue (Tightbond II or III) and drywall screws.
My preference, too, is Titebond III and coated deck screws. Later, if any seem to be loosening up, I add some pneumatic staples and criss cross them after tightening up the deck screws, if they've loosened any.
48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
I use tightbond II along with hot dipped galvanized twist shank nails and the boxes have all remained tight.
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
I also use tightbond II, and if the box are finger joint I will use nails. If they are rabbit joint I use screws.
I guess if you use glue, as others here have mentioned, screw use should be okay. Screws are more expensive and time consuming than nails. So I don't know why you'd use them if you are gluing anyway. The glue is what really holds things together once glued and nailed.

why screws and not galvanized nails?
Seems like if one is going to glue as well as screw or nail that one would not have to nail or screw every joint.
Mark Berninghausen
I tried screws with finger joints and glue but had a couple ends split right away so quit that and went with galv finish nails.
I like screws, I use either decking screws or SS screws. But for my small number of hives, The little extra time and money are not significant. If I had hundreds, I would be more efficient. I also paint them and use cypress. I expect them to last a LONG time.
If you are using box joints, all you need is staples. Nails are O.K, but holes should be predrilled, and screws are overkill. All you need is something to hold the joints until the glue dries. If using rabbet joints, I would nail or screw them, Again, not a lot of difference. Glue is the main holding force.
As people have said, depending on your joints the choice varies somewhat.
For glue;
Tightbond III is waterproof (vs II that is resistant)
Coated screws are obviously the strongest option (have to predrill). You could use shank nails if you prefer a step up from normal nails. Just get a coated hardware, not that non-coated screws or nails won't work but depending on how you care for those boxes they will rust out if you maintain your supers long enough. Then again if you're painting over the hardware it won't really be exposed as much.
I use tightbond II and coated screws in all of my supers. Is it overkill? Sure, but it doesn't take me much longer to do it v nailing.
I only use screws if the boards are cupped any or if the joint is not tight for some reason. Usually only the top and bottom in box joints. Always tightbond glue no matter what.
Fines are taxes for doing wrong. Taxes are fines for doing right.
Yes I staple each finger. I also have a special made pipe clamp that I use to pull the fingers into the valleys. Then the staple holds the finger until the glue dries, and insures a very tight fit. If I get a chance I will take a photo and post.
I use titebond III glue.
all of my boxes but one are all nailed with a brad gun and 18 ga 1 1/2" brads with rabbet joints and titebond glue.
I have not had a box fail yet!
Nails are adequate without glue, screws are probably better, and with glue nails are plenty.
One thing that nails do is expand the fingers slightly, providing a tighter joint. You must pre-drill, but if you use a hole somewhat smaller than the nail, the fingers spread slightly. Keeps the gap smaller.
Use hot dip galvanized fasteners, with real zinc. Otherise, you remove the plastic coating when you drive the nails and have a soft iron surface exposed that will rust no matter what you do. Rusting inside the wood is fine, it causes the nails to "seize" in the wood, just makes them hard to remove. I don't plan on removing many, it's way too much work. If a box is so bad I need to replace a board, I'll toss it. That's why I paint them, to keep them from rotting.
Oil based paint?

Local Woman Injured In DWI Accident
For Gail Rhodes, her typical day ended at 2:35 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, when she was hit by a car as she stepped out of her Pontiac automobile at Beach Channel Drive and Beach 53 Street. Police say that Krik Blake, 39, a West Hempstead resident, was driving his 1982 Lincoln westbound on Beach Channel Drive "in excess of the posted speed limit" when he struck Rhodes. A spokesperson for Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said that Blake admitted to police that he had been involved in the accident, but "that he couldn't believe that he had done it." Police say that they observed several empty beer cans in Blake's car and that he had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, his speech was slurred and he was unsteady on his feet. Court records show that an intoxilyzer test administered to Blake resulted in a blood alcohol reading of .156 percent, nearly two times the legal New York State limit of .08. According to Brown's office, Blake has been charged in Queens Supreme Court with vehicle assault in the second degree and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Pictured, police officers from the NYPD's Accident Investigation Squad take a look at Blake's Lincoln. Rhodes was transported to the Peninsula Hospital Center with severe injuries to her head, hip and legs. At PHC, Rhodes' airway was opened and she was stabilized. She was then transported to North Shore Hospital, where, sources say, she remains in critical condition.

WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman doubled down on Sunday on his criticism of front-runner Mitt Romney, saying the former Massachusetts governor's "flip-flops" could cost him the GOP nomination.
"I think there is an issue on the flip-flops as it relates to trust," said Huntsman, a former Utah governor and ambassador to China, during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I don't know if he can go on to beat President Obama given his record."
"When there's a question about whether you're running for the White House or running for the waffle house, then you've got a big problem with the American people," he added.
Huntsman pointed to a few issues on which he said Romney has switched positions, including abortion, health care and gun rights. Romney signed into law a bill that provided universal health care to residents of Massachusetts, but later criticized President Obama for a similar nationwide bill. He has also said he believes abortion "should be safe and legal in this country," a position he has since rescinded, among others.
"When you have something as central as life that you flip-flop on, when you have the Second Amendment, when you have health care," he said. "You have a range of issues -- on taxes, for example -- that he's been on both sides of."
Huntsman has repeatedly hit Romney for these position changes, including in two web videos that show Romney stating different positions while a monkey back-flips.
Romney has countered by saying he has been "as consistent as a human being can be."
But Huntsman said the perceived flip-flops could be keeping Romney from breaking ahead significantly from other Republicans, such as Herman Cain, who surged in the polls in recent weeks.
"I think that what the American people want today more than anything else is a level of consistency. They want a level of trust in their elected officials," Huntsman said. "I think that very well could be the issue about not being able to break beyond a certain level."
Despite these criticisms, Huntsman said he would support Romney if he were chosen as the Republican nominee for president.

April 2, 2014
NILES, Ohio - The University of Pittsburgh baseball team (15-13, 7-5 ACC) fell to Youngstown State (4-17, 0-2 Horizon), 7-6, Wednesday evening at Eastwood Field in Niles, Ohio.
Alex Frey (1-0, 2.25 ERA) picked up the win for the Penguins, tossing 1.2 innings of shutout relief. Luke Curtis (JR/Philipsburg, Pa.) (0-1, 2.30 ERA) was tagged with the losing decision for the Panthers after allowing two runs on six hits in three innings of work. Josh North earned his first save of the season as well.
"To say the least, this was a disappointing ball game," head coach Joe Jordano said. "I give credit to Youngstown State. They won the game, period. We did not pitch well, we made some mistakes on the base paths and did not score over the final six innings. We certainly need a good short-term memory to forget about this one and to prepare for Virginia, one of the premier teams in the country, coming in this weekend."
A seven-pitch at-bat resulting in a base on balls by Stephen Vranka (SR/Monroeville, Pa.) led off the game-opening stanza with Dylan Wolsonovich (SO/Ford City, Pa.) following suit with a walk of his own drawing out of the two-hole. After Vranka advanced to third on a Boo Vazquez (JR/Youngstown, Ohio) fly-ball out to right field, Wolsonovich made a clean swipe of second base to put two runners in scoring position for Casey Roche (SR/Downingtown, Pa.). Roche reached on an error by shortstop Shane Willoughby, allowing Vranka to trot past home plate, 1-0.
Jordan Frabasilio (JR/Chandler, Ariz.) worked a full-count walk to begin Pitt's half of the second inning and registered his second stolen base of the season during Matt Johnson's (JR/Plano, Texas) turn at the plate. Johnson then roped a base knock to right field to drive home Frabasilio, upping the Panthers' lead to a 2-0 advantage.
Youngstown State responded rather handily in the bottom of the second, plating a trio of runners on four hits in the frame. Kris Moules and Lorenzo Arcuri ignited the Penguins' rally with back-to-back singles to right field. With one down and two men on base, Nick Dinello launched a bases-clearing triple to left center to tie the game at two runs apiece. Willoughby added to the inning's onslaught with an RBI single to right field, giving Youngstown State its first lead of the contest at a 3-2 score.
In the top of the third, Wolsonovich opened Pitt's at-bat with a leadoff double to right center field. After Ryan Krokos was lifted in favor of reliver Jeremy Quinlan, Vazquez reached on a bunt single slapped to the right side. Roche and Eric Hess (JR/Erie, Pa.) drove in Wolsonovich and Vazquez, respectively, on consecutive RBI singles to reclaim the lead at 4-3. Steven Shelinsky, Jr. (SR/Furlong, Pa.) then lofted a single to left field to score Roche, pushing the Panthers' lead to two runs. After Frabasilio lined out to center, Hess and Shelinsky, Jr. were motioned to second and third base on a double steal. Johnson then grounded out to the second baseman to record his second RBI of the day, making it a 6-3 ball game.
Renan Rodriguez (JR/Miami, Fla.) issued a one-out walk to Kurt Laver in the bottom of the third frame and Josh White reached on a Wolsonovich error to put two runners on for the Penguins. Matt Sullivan, Youngstown State's cleanup hitter, then singled to right field to plate Laver, cutting the Panthers' lead to two runs, 6-4.
Curtis came on in relief of Rodriguez during the home half of the fourth after a leadoff walk drawn by Arcuri, who advanced to second base on a failed pickoff attempt at first. The Penguins then put runners at the corners when Hix stroked a single to the right side that Johnson was unable to corral. Alex Larivee delivered a two-out, RBI single to right field in the next at-bat to score Arcuri, pulling Youngstown State within a run of Pitt's lead, 6-5.
Sullivan worked a base on balls with one down in the bottom of the fifth and Mike Accardi replaced him on the bases as a pinch runner. Accardi quickly found himself standing on third base after Moules walked and Arcuri singled to left, presenting a bases-loaded situation for Dinello, who struck out. However, Hix delivered a two-out single to shallow right field to bring across Accardi, knotting the game at a 6-6 tie.
During the Penguins' at-bat in the seventh, White connected with a 3-2 offering for a leadoff double to deep center field and Accardi bunted for a base hit down the third base line to put runners at first and third. Curtis then let loose a wild pitch that scored White from second, giving Youngstown State its first lead of the game since the bottom of the second inning, 7-6.
The Penguins turned to North out of the bullpen in the top of the eighth inning. North worked a pair of stellar frames in the eighth and ninth, allowing no base runners while striking out four Panthers.
Pitt returns to action Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. when it hosts No. 1 Virginia in an Atlantic Coast Conference series at Charles L. Cost Field at the Petersen Sports Complex.

AS challenging as she is charming, AS Byatt tells Stuart Kelly why she will never write 'me-novels'
DAME Antonia Byatt is considered the grande dame of the English novel – formidably intelligent, unflaggingly serious, unwilling to suffer fools gladly. The 72-year-old, who won the Booker Prize in 1990 for Possession, has commented caustically on Martin Amis's teeth, JK Rowling's prose and the endemic philistinism and sexism of British intellectual life.
It's as if her lifelong passion for Victorian literature has lent her a shade of that queen's inability to be amused. So it's a strangely charming experience to be sitting in her front room in Putney in fits of giggles. She's very wry, almost flirtatious with the photographer, and unashamedly enthusiastic about everything – from the way the light hits a very fine Anne Redpath oil painting above the fireplace, to sci-fi films, televised sport and, of course, books.
Her new novel, The Children's Book, is similarly compendious. Set between the end of the 19th century and the end of the First World War, it incorporates the V&A, anarchism, the 'New Woman', pottery, the rise of city finance, puppet theatre and children's stories. "All my novels come about when two things which appear not to be connected come together. In this case I observed that this was the period of both all the socialist initiatives in Europe and a generation that found children's fantasy the most exciting literary form." Through the fictional Olive Wellwood, Byatt conjures the period of Peter Pan and HG Wells, Fabianism and Wind In The Willows. But the emotional core was her realisation that "children's book writers seem to be quite bad for children. They're immensely liberating for the children that read their books, but they're not good for the children actually born to them. The thought of Kenneth Grahame's son (who committed suicide] haunts me daily."
It's a book that's wary of idealism and idealising in equal measure, and she sees the process repeated in cycles. "I was an undergraduate when Tolkien came out," she reminisces, "and we were a pragmatic generation. We were the 1950s people who believed that the war had been fuelled by a lot of crazed idealists and now was the time to make life liveable. I was sort of terrified when all the 1960s political structures came about. My brother was at the Grosvenor Square riots and he and his South African friend went out to throw bricks while quoting Tolkien to each other in Elvish." She ruefully notes another connection between nave politics and escalation in children's fantasy: Tony Blair and Harry Potter.
Having recently recovered from a back operation, she shows no sign of retiring. "I began so late I suppose I'm terrified of suddenly discovering I've had to slow down. I'm writing a story about a monk at the moment, just to be writing. He's a 12th-century monk who finds himself in a modern apartment in 2009 in Tooting Bec and what he can't stand is the noise. It's as near to autobiographical as I get." She's also working on another long novel, about "surrealists and psychiatrists… It's a huge swathe across peculiar male behaviour."
Her anger is just as undiminished. She's riled by DJ Taylor's "immense scorn" in writing that "you can hear the novelist thinking" in her work. "What is wrong with a novelist thinking?" she snaps. But she's touchingly shy about not going on a celebrity University Challenge. "Suppose one was overtaken by nominal aphasia." Very few people can say "nominal aphasia" un-self-consciously. Although she feels that "female writers are much more self-confident now" – she singles out Ali Smith and AL Kennedy as favourites – "there are a lot of other women who are just writing me-books."
The Children's Book is not a me-book, but it is personal. Olive Wellwood's beloved oldest son, whose bedtime stories are her greatest success, dies before the war; the others die in it. Byatt's 11-year-old son was killed by a drunk driver nearly 40 years ago. She grows quiet when we touch on the subject. "I don't think my writing killed my son," she says, with hard-won sincerity. "Even before I lost my son I always knew writing was dangerous. The thing I don't understand is why writing's always seen as a form of killing in all my books. I don't know where it comes from. Maybe my Quaker upbringing. The Quakers knew that there were things in the world more important than art." Art doesn't save the Wellwoods, but The Children's Book is a consummate work of art.

Ripoff Report
Diana Peters2233 Filmore Street Hollywood, Florida USA
Diana Peters Death Row Dog Rescue rip off, liar, sales sick and tick infested dogs Hollywood Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
There is something wrong with this lady and advise noone to get any dogs from her or give her money for any reason. I took my daughter to buy a dog from her. The dog we were looking to adopt, that she told us to come and check him out, of course wasnt available. The dog was too sick with kennel cough so we ended up taking another dog.
Once we brung him home I noticed he was also sick (coughing, sneezing, weezing). Also every time the dog got up from his bed there was different bugs crawling around on the bed every single time. I was told he was given antibiotics and a flea and tick treatment called advantix. She said if I saw fleas and ticks that they were dying or already dead. Well after 3 days of watching crawling bugs in his bed, I purchased my own shampoo and bathed him. After that bath I gave, no more bugs!!!
However, the other things I had to put up with from this dog was...#1 she had him eating table food. My family could not sit and eat in peace without him barking at us the entire time for our food. She even advised me to give him Mcdonalds, chicken and rice. Said that was his favorite. He refused to eat the dog food because he was badly spoiled off of human food. #2 She have the dog trained to sleep in the bed. She admitted she lets the small dogs sleep in the bed. He was always jumping in my bed and it got to the point to where he would growl and try to bite me if I reached for the leash to remove him off the bed.
This leads to my next problem #3 The dog was too aggressive. It was to my understanding that a dog supposed to protect and alert. He barked and growled alright...he barked and growled at my kids. My daughter couldnt even open her door. He would go running, barking and growling very aggressively. She was so scared especially since she is autistic. He would also bark at mothers pushing their babies in strollers.
He was just out of control and had to go. I alerted Diana that I was bringing him back and she always knew the problems. We only had the dog a week and I had to keep calling asking her whats wrong with the dog and all these issues. She said I could do a swap and she had been posting some other smaller dogs I was willing to give a try again. She told me she had 3 mini dogs I could check out.
Knowing I was on my way to do a return and swap, she informed me that she sold 2 of the dogs. Was quick to take my dog back and brung out a very sick dog coughing all over the place. Now she still has my $100 and we have no dog. We wasnt even invited inside again. She rushed us away, always claiming she is busy.
Now the deal is that she was receiving more dogs the next day and they were also small like we were looking for. She said she would email me pics and of course she has not one time tried to contact me about anything. In her words, we had priority over everyone else. That was a lie!!!
She is still constantly posting new dogs on facebook, but what happened to emailing me a pic? Now I see a small dog being adopted, but what happened to us being priority? My next step is to call her for the 3rd time since I returned the dog we first adopted.
Like always, she doesnt want to talk. She has to go, all the dogs are sick and thats her response to me before she says " Im not going to argue, dont call me" and of course she hangs up in my face!!
We are now gonna take this as a lesson learned and stick to more reputable places like the humane society. We lost $100, Im sure she smoked or drunk that up. She does not care about you loosing anything and dont wanna talk about it. She is unprofessional and dont stick to her words and promises.
I can go on and on about other things and the treatments of other dogs but my point is made already. What a bad experience and wish I would have seen these rip off reports before hand. I tried to see good in her but this is wrong what she is doing to people and how she is treating these dogs. They are not in the best of care with her and neither is the money she collects from everyone!!!

MSD offroad-6, MSD 8366 Distributor, Holley 950 ECU
The engine is a new GM 383 Crate motor.
Distributor is MSD 8366.
It has connections for two plugs, one is four wire, and that goes thru a cable, Holley Adapter 534-138, to the Holley 950 ECU. (700 CFM TBI).
The other plug on the distributor has, (I think) two wires. I don't know if I need to use this plug.
In the Holley 950 instruction manual, it shows that two-wire plug going to the MSD 6-series ignition white wire (points input) and a powered red wire.
The Holley instruction manual also shows the MSD 6-series violet and green wires not being used.
But if I understand it correctly the 8366 distributor uses a magnetic pickup and that should go to the violet and green wires on the ignition box.
Also on the schematic for the Holley 950 ECU it shows a plug called "IPU" which has Purple, White, and Green wire. The legend says the Purple is IPU (+), the White is Points Out, and the Green is IPU (-).
But it doesn't say anywhere in the instructions for the 950 ECU where that "IPU" plug is supposed to attache to.
It would make sense to me that the IPU plug on the Holley 950 ECU should go to the MSD 6-series ignition box, but it doesn't show it that way on the installation instructions.
If anyone can tell me what the 6 wires on the distrubutor (MSD 8366) specifically do, maybe I could figure this out. There are two plugs, one with 4 wires, one with 2 wires.
And also should I be using the white points trigger to the MSD 6-series ignition box, or should I use the Green and Violet(purple) magnetic trigger wires.
This is really giving me a headache. I live in Oklahoma, and the jeep is at my brother's in Arkansas, about an hour and a half away, so I don't have the parts with me to look at right now. I get over there on the weekends to work on it.

The use of physical biomodeling in complex spine surgery
von Arx, Otto A., Izatt, Maree T., Thorpe, Paul L. P. J., Thompson, Robert G., D'Urso, Paul S., Adam, Clayton J., Earwaker, John W. S., Labrom, Robert D., & Askin, Geoffrey N. (2007) The use of physical biomodeling in complex spine surgery. In Williamson, Owen (Ed.) Annual Scientific Meeting of the Spine Society of Australia, 20-22 April, 2007, Hobart, Australia.
Maree T Izatt, Paul LPJ Thorpe, Paul S D'Urso, Otto von Arx, Robert G Thompson, Clayton J Adam, John WS Earwaker, Robert D Labrom, Geoffrey N Askin.
Paediatric Spine Research Group, Brisbane, Australia.
INTRODUCTION Prior studies have suggested that biomodels enhance patient education, pre-operative planning and intra-operative stereotaxy, however the usefulness of biomodels compared to regular imaging modalities such as x-ray, CT and MR has not been quantified. (1) The aim of this study was to quantify surgeons' perceptions on the usefulness of biomodels compared to standard visualisation modalities for pre-operative planning and intra-operative anatomical reference.
METHOD Physical biomodels were manufactured for a consecutive series of 26 patients with complex spinal pathologies using a stereolithographic technique based on CT data1. Patients were selected for the technique by the surgeons, if the pathoanatomy was not considered to be clearly displayed by standard imaging techniques . The biomodels were used pre-operatively for assessment of spinal pathology, parent and patient education, obtaining informed consent, surgical planning and customising implants. Intra-operatively, the sterilized biomodel was useful for anatomical reference, surgical navigation and as a teaching aid. Following surgery, a detailed biomodel utility survey was completed by the surgeons (GNA and RDL) for all cases where a biomodel was ordered.
RESULTS Twenty one deformity and five tumour cases were performed using biomodels. Surgeons stated that the anatomical detail was better visible on the biomodel than on other imaging modalities in 17 (65%) cases, and exclusively visible on the biomodel in 3 (11%) cases. Preoperative use of the biomodel led to a different decision regarding the choice of osteosynthetic materials used in 14 (52%) cases, and the implantation site of osteosynthetic material in 20 (74%) cases. Biomodels were found to be highly accurate in relation to anatomy identified during the surgery when compared with other visualization modalities and resulted in improved communication with patients/parents and informed consent in 25 (96%) cases. Surgeons reported that the use of biomodels reduced operating times in 23 (89%) cases by a mean of 63 minutes per case (range 0-180mins) which included 8% (range 0-125mins) in tumour patients and 22% (range 30-180mins) in deformity procedures, and therefore surgical costs were often subsequently reduced despite the additional cost of the biomodel. In all cases, the surgeons reported the model had a positive effect on the outcome of the surgical procedure and that they would order a biomodel again should a similar case present.
DISCUSSION This study supports physical biomodeling as a useful, and sometimes essential tool in the armamentarium of imaging techniques used for complex spinal surgery.

I pieced it on a Saturday night from 10:30 to 1:30 AM and then pieced the back on Sunday and long arm quilted it myself on monday and sewed down the binding on Tuesday. Phew. It is done and on it's way tomorrow. I hope it gives her comfort and warmth. I used my friends long arm and this is my third quilt on a long arm. It is a rose vine pattern with brown varigated thread.

Kitchen Essentials
Here are some of my favorite kitchen gadgets and ingredients. Some items are on the pricy side, but I acquired them over many years. Keep in mind that you don't need to run out and buy everything at once! I try to check these links periodically but if you notice something not working, leave a comment so I can fix it.
For an extended list of products and cookbooks I use at home, visit my Amazon Store!
- Vitamix Professional Series 200
I don't know how I lived without this blender for so long. I know it's expensive, but it's so worth it if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Your soups, salad dressings, purees and smoothies will never be the same.
- KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer
Ideal for baking.
- Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor
I use my food processor for making pesto, dips, and dough. My model was passed down to me. That shows you how long they last!
- Digital Kitchen Scale
An absolute must for consistent baking. Shop around, it doesn't need to be fancy.
- Stainless Steel Saucepan
You don't need to get All-Clad, but please get stainless steel. I use this saucepan constantly.
- All-Clad Stainless Saute Pan with Lid
Perfect caramelization every time.
- Le Creuset Dutch Oven
Get some enameled cast-iron cookware for braising and soups.
- Sheet Pans
Get an assortment of sizes.
- Parchment Paper Sheets
I buy parchment sheets that are cut to fit my sheet trays. They're fantastic. The parchment at the grocery store is rolled and I find trying to keep it flat a major annoyance.
- Global 8-Inch Chef's Knife
I have an assortment of knives, but the one I use most often is my Global chef's knife. Keep it sharp with a stone and a honing steel. The sharper the knife, the less likely you are to injure yourself.
- Rubbermaid High Heat Spatula
I almost never use wood spoons. Heat proof spatulas are the way to go.
- OXO Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tong
I use these constantly. They're my second pair of hands in the kitchen.
- Stainless-Steel Mixing Bowls
Buy a set with an assortment of sizes.
- Ove' Glove Hot Surface Handler
The best I've found for handling hot surfaces. They have a grip and can go in the washing machine.
- OXO Good Grips Bench Scraper
Find one with a ruler. It's useful when working with dough and butter. Use the ruler for making even cuts.
- French Rolling Pin
French rolling pins are better. More surface space.
- OXO Good Grips Peeler
Make sure you have a good, sharp peeler.
- Norpro Silicone Mise en Place Bowls
Measure everything out before you start.
- Plugra European-Style Butter
It has more fat and makes every thing taste better. Many grocery stores carry it, you just have to look closely.
- Shallots
Try swapping out onions with shallots in a recipe. They elevate the flavors and are standard in restaurant cuisine.
- Vendage Wines
I always keep 2 bottles of wine in the refrigerator: Vendage Chardonnay and Vendage Cabernet. These are the wines we used at culinary school and I think they do a great job at a reasonable price. I use a wine vacuum seal to keep them fresh until needed. They're perfect for sauces.
- Homemade Stock
It's not difficult and it will last forever in the freezer. Store-bought stock is really broth, and it's full of sodium.
- Cacao Barry Cocoa Powder – Extra Dark
24% cocoa fat!
- The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity
I reach for this this book more than any other cookbook, though it doesn't actually contain recipes. It includes thousands of ingredients, alphabetized and cross-referenced with with other compatible ingredients. It's the perfect reference tool for kitchen creativity.
- The Best New Recipe
I use this cookbook for reference on a weekly basis.
- The Perfect Scoop
I'm a bit of an ice cream addict. This book has some of the most delicious, unique recipes I've ever tried. The milk chocolate stout ice cream is worth the price alone.
- Zingerman's Guide to Good Eating
This is the book that started me on my food journey. It has fantastic recipes, but it's mostly an encyclopedia of top quality ingredients. Learn about balsamic vinegars, olive oil, bread, cheese, rice. Read about their regions, how they're made, which brands to buy. My description cannot properly do this book justice. Just get it. Also, the Zingerman's website sells top notch ingredients. I trust their selection of oils and vinegars over anyone else.

Unlike the previous comment about this park we found it to be a very friendly park with a very helpful staff. They love your pets and will even given them doggie biscuits if you bring them by the office. A great location for easy on/off from I-5, especially for those who want to do some shopping next door at the outlet mall. Lots of things to do in the area. The office has ample information for things to see and do. A great staff and a very clean park. We stay here often.

A nice park near the river with beautiful trees and grounds and close in to town. Quiet with a nice staff and clean restrooms/showers.
