Easy (and Quick) Ways to Get Healthy
1. Fill your plate with fresh fruits and veggies. Eat as many colours as you can, and eat as many veggies as you like. Visit Farmer's markets, and experiment with seasonal goodies. Blend your greens for a nutrient-packed smoothie, or puree your root veggies to make a comforting soup. Add sliced pear to a summer salad, and berries to your morning cereal. Avocado, tomato, cilantro and a squeeze of lemon come together in a minute for homemade guacamole, which is full of healthy fats.
2. Use cookbooks and online recipe sites to plan your meals for the week, and buy the necessary ingredients in your weekly trip to the grocery store. Try to avoid random purchases, instead keeping your kitchen and cupboards stocked with items that can be easily put together to form tasty, quick meals.
3. Prep your dinner in advance. Chop some leafy greens in the morning and place them in the refrigerator with a bowl of marinated tofu, sundried tomatoes, and sprouts. After work, pop a cup of brown rice in a rice cooker, lightly sauté the greens and tofu, top with sprouts and tomatoes, and voila; a delicious rice bowl with a minimum of effort.
4. Have healthy snacks on hand. Relaxing in front of the TV or curling up on the sofa with a good book always seems better with a yummy snack. Avoid packing on empty calories at night, by having healthy treats readily available. Chill a bowl of carrot or celery sticks in the fridge, and enjoy them with some protein-rich hummus. A handful of dried fruits and nuts can satisfy a sweet craving, and apple slices with almond butter offer a tasty, nutritious crunch.
5. Fill a water bottle and hydrate constantly. Drinking plenty of water improves digestion and helps to eliminate toxins. Make it easy to remember to drink water, by filling a reusable bottle in the morning, and carrying it around with you all day. Keep it within arm's reach, and refill continuously!
6. Walk whenever and wherever you can. Take the stairs, or walk to the grocery store and back with your shopping. You don't have to skimp on exercise just because you can't make it to the gym. Give yourself a little extra time in the morning to walk to work, and enjoy those moments to yourself to mentally prepare for your day.
7. Take a stretch break and improve your flexibility. Even if you can't make it to a yoga class, you can easily do a couple of stretches at your desk. Typing on a keyboard all day can result in hunching forward, causing tension in the shoulders and neck. Sit evenly on your chair with your spine long and take a moment to roll the shoulders back and forth and to gently drop the head from side to side. Use the arms of the chair to come into a gentle seated twist, lengthening up through the crown of the head, opening the chest as you softly twist to the side. Take deep, even breaths throughout, calming the mind and invigorating the body.
Eating fresh food is one of the easiest ways to get healthy. Add berries to your cereal, leafy greens to your post-work out smoothie and colourful legumes to your dinners.
It's harder to want to eat healthy after a long day of work. So, in the morning chop some veggies and throw them in a bowl in the fridge with some marinated tofu. When you get home add that to some brown rice, or rice noodles for a quick and healthy meal!
Choosing healthy snacks is another easy way to stay at your best. Choose nuts, dried fruit, carrot sticks and apples with almond or peanut butter. You don't always have to reach for the salt and sugar to satisfy your hunger.
Before you head to the dreaded grocery store -- where they make it way too easy to pick the wrong stuff -- look online or in a recipe book for the meals you'd like to make over the week. Make your list from those meals and stick to it!
Drinking water is something many people take for granted. But here in Canada, where water is free and clean, we really have no excuses. It's the ultimate way to stay hydrated, keep your skin nice, and keep cool in the summer.
If you sit in an office chair all day, take some time and give yourself a good stretch every couple of hours. This ensures circulation and blood flow, and keeps your body awake. Plus, it just feels great!
Take time to walk every day -- just to get a little bit of physical activity. Get up a little earlier and walk to work, or take a 10 minute break from the office and walk around the block. Getting out and getting active is one of the best things you can do for your body!

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has approved a permit to allow a limestone quarry project to proceed at Pryor Road and Interstate 470.
In a March 7 memorandum, a Reclamation Program Kevin Mohammadi, staff director of the Land Reclamation Program, is recommending issuing the permit with two conditions: no blasting and that the operation take precautions to avoid harming hibernating bats.
Parts of the mine are home to Missouri's third-largest colony of tri-colored bats, but they are not an endangered specie.
Mohammadi also recommended that the company proposing the quarry, The Family Ranch, hire a geotechnical study of the area to determine how the operation will affect the mine's roof that might affect adjacent property.
Mohammadi says the MDNR does not have jurisdiction over the underground mines stability, truck traffic, property values or noise pollution, which were objections raised by opponents.
Lee's Summit businessman Flip Short, owner of The Family Ranch, plans to drop the roof of a long-dormant underground mine on 70 acres he owns at the northwest corner of Pryor Road and the interstate. The company will mine, crush and sell the rock, a few acres at a time, and plans to making the site ready for future development. The abandoned mine is unstable and collapsing in areas, so isn't suitable for buildings on Short's land.
Short also is planning commercial development at the View High Drive intersection.
Some neighbors and Lee's Summit residents farther from the site have opposed the project, fearing effects of the quarrying, particularly blasting. Short has agreed to drill the rock and use hydraulic machines to split the rock instead of explosives.
Opponents have 30 days from March 7 to make a request of a formal hearing by the Land Reclamation Commission to ask it to reverse the decision, but the commission can refuse the request.
Carol Siegrist, president of Bent Tree Bluffs Homeowners Association, said the homeowners appreciate the recognition by the MDNR that it was important to forbid explosives. Some residents of that subdivision south of the quarry, on the opposite side of the interstate, were concerned about damage to homes and other possible problems. The backfilling may protect the colony of bats and minimize the potential for disturbance or destruction to the neighboring portions of the mine but it is disappointing that the state did not require further studies to satisfy outstanding concerns, she said.
Short said his company does plan to consult with engineering firms Terracon, URS and possibly others to make sure the project isn't causing problems in mine stability for neighbors. He said that in addition to not using explosives, Kevin Thomas, who will run the crushing operation, has come up with an idea to increase safety and prevent slabs of rock from dropping the 12 feet from roof to mine floor, which some were concerned could cause damaging vibrations. The plan is to slip shipping containers into the mine under the roof so there are only a few inches of a drop when rock breaks free, Short said.
He said that removing explosives from the operation was decision that benefitted his plan and neighborhoods. As rock is removed and crushed, the area will be backfilled and planted with grass.
"We do want to do the best we can in the community," Short said. "We're 100-percent sure this will be taken care of at the commission meeting. We're ecstatic and so happy the project is going to take off."

Bas Rutten Wants the Netherlands to Respect Ramon Dekkers
- Written by Dave Walsh
Without a doubt the loss of Ramon Dekkers earlier this year was a big loss for the fight world. Dekkers was really one of the first non-Thai to make waves in Thailand like he did and is still considered by some to be ones of the best foreigners to ever compete in Thailand. That is a pretty big deal considering how huge of a deal Muay Thai is in Thailand and some of the names that have gone through Thailand over the years.
Golden Glory TV is putting together a documentary on Ramon Dekkers, which will include some interviews with his friends and fellow fighters. This clip that was released this weekend shows part of an interview with Bas Rutten who gets rather emotional about his home country of the Netherlands neglecting to respect Ramon Dekkers after his passing, virtually ignoring him.

NEWS RELEASE #05-157 Aug 8, 2005 DNR News (803) 734-3950
Forty-nine public dove fields will be available across the state during the 2005-06 season through the S.C. Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Management Area program.
The 2005-06 mourning dove season will run as follows: Sept. 3-Oct. 8, Nov. 19-26 and Dec. 21-Jan. 15. Statewide legal shooting hours for the 2005-06 dove season will allow afternoon hunting only (from noon to sunset) for the first three days (Sept. 3-5) of the first season segment and then all-day hunting (from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset) for the rest of the season. The daily bag limit is 12 birds per hunter. The state's mourning dove season is set each year by the S.C. Natural Resources Board within a framework of regulations and timetables issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
A county-by-county list of public dove fields and special youth hunts can be obtained by writing: DNR, Attn: Public Dove Fields, PO Box 167, Columbia, SC 29202, or by calling (803) 734-3609 in Columbia. The Public Dove Fields List is also available at county Clemson Extension Service offices, Soil and Water Conservation District offices, local DNR offices, and on the DNR Web site at http://www.dnr.state.sc.us/wild/smallgame/dove.html
Hunters participating in public dove hunts on S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Wildlife Management Area (WMA) dove fields should be aware of special regulations in place on those fields. Hunters may not take shooting positions on public fields before noon. All hunters will be restricted to 50 shells per hunt, and shooting hours will end at 6 p.m. on all public fields during the first segment of the South Carolina dove season (Sept. 3-Oct. 8).
These regulations have been implemented to address concerns regarding hunt quality and hunter satisfaction on public dove fields, according to Tim Ivey, chief of the DNR's Wildlife Section. "The goal of these regulations is to provide equitable opportunity for all participants on public dove fields, while increasing hunter satisfaction and enjoyment," Ivey said.
The number of hunters will be limited by a public drawing on three fields, the Evans Property field in Anderson County, the Draper Tract in York County, and Donnelly WMA in Colleton County. For more information on the application process for these hunts, contact the DNR Clemson office at (864) 654-1671 extension 16 (Evans Property); the DNR York office at (803) 684-4078 (Draper Tract); or the Donnelly WMA office in Green Pond at (843) 844-8957. Hunting and hunter placement on all other public fields is on a first-come basis, beginning at noon.
A limited number of openings are available on eight special youth dove hunts scheduled for Abbeville, Newberry, Oconee, Orangeburg, Pickens, Sumter, Union and York counties. Participants are selected by pre-registration or drawing for all youth hunts with the exception of the Orangeburg County youth hunt. A list of youth hunts, dates and registration deadlines is included with the public dove fields list.
Individuals who plan to hunt on these public fields will need a South Carolina hunting license and a WMA permit. Also, all persons hunting migratory birds (including doves) are required to have a migratory bird permit. Migratory bird permits can be obtained free-of-charge at all hunting and fishing license vendors.

Sharpsburg Man Turns Himself in After Eight-Hour Barricade
Police say Porter voluntarily came to the Maryland State Police Hagerstown Barrack at 9:30 a.m. They say Porter has been charged with firearms violations.
Police say this comes after an eight hour barricade situation Thursday in Sharpsburg, where police say they were serving a search warrant against Porter after getting a tip that he had illegal weapons inside his home on Mills Road.
Troppers say they were not able to find him at the time but took two rifles and three shot guns from the home. Police say they received another rifle and shot gun on Friday during their investigation.
Porter has been charged with seven counts of possession of a rifle or shot gun when prohibited and seven counts of possession of a fire arm when prohibited. Porter was taken to the Washington County Central booking unit where he is awaiting an appearance before a court commissioner.

|City of Camas
Camas /ˈkæməs/ is a city in Clark County, Washington, with a population of 19,355 at the 2010 census.[5] Officially incorporated on June 18, 1906, the city is named after the camas lily, a plant with an onion-like bulb prized by Native Americans. At the west end of downtown Camas is a large Georgia-Pacific paper-mill from which the high school teams get their name "the Papermakers". Accordingly, the city is about 20 miles east (upwind) from Portland, Oregon. Historically, the commercial base of the city was almost solely the paper mill; however, the diversity of industries has been enhanced considerably in recent years by the influx of several white-collar, high-tech companies including Hewlett-Packard, Sharp Microelectronics, Linear Technology, WaferTech and Underwriters Labs. Annual events include the summer "Camas Days", as well as other festivals and celebrations.
The east side of town borders the city of Washougal, Washington, and the west side of town borders Vancouver, Washington. Camas lies along the Washington side of the Columbia River, across from Troutdale, Oregon, and is part of the Portland, Oregon, Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the United States Census Bureau. At this juncture the Columbia River is nearly a mile wide; vehicular traffic flows across the Columbia via the Interstate Bridge on I-5 and the I-205. The main road through town is the limited-access SR 14 expressway.
One of the major geographical features of the city is Prune Hill. Prune Hill is an extinct volcanic vent and is part of the Boring Lava Field of northwest Oregon and southwest Washington.[6]
Based on a test conducted in 2010 Camas ranks 42nd in homeless people per square mile.[citation needed]
13 miles from Nuke Plant

Lacamas Park[edit]
Lacamas Park encompasses Round Lake and runs against SR 500 on its west side. Across SR 500 is Lacamas Lake. The park is open year-round from 7 a.m. to dusk and includes barbecues, a play ground, trails around the park and lake, and access to the Camas Potholes.
The park features a network of trails which lead to the Camas Potholes and the Camas lily fields. A 1.2-mile (1.9 km) trail that loops around Round Lake starts and finishes near the parking lot. The park is a popular destination for Geocachers as it contains numerous caches scattered around the park.[citation needed] Young children may play in a small playground on the west side of the park. Tables are provided for picnicking as are waste receptacles designed to receive hot coals from grilling. Bathrooms are available on a seasonal basis only.
Heritage Park[edit]
Heritage Park has facilities for launching boats into Lacamas Lake, a playground for young children, lots of open field, and small trails through the trees. The parking lot is very large and includes numerous long parking stalls to accommodate vehicles with trailers.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 15.25 square miles (39.50 km2), of which, 13.49 square miles (34.94 km2) is land and 1.76 square miles (4.56 km2) is water.[1]

TJ to JKUR
Hi all, figured it was time for the intro since I've been a member for a few years and only have two posts. Hopefully I can start being a little more active in this thing.
Got my first wrangler(2006 TJ) almost 5 years ago and have recently traded her in for a 2013 JKUR. Love it so far, even though it seems a bit plush for a wrangler :-) Still getting used to the all that extra vehicle but for lugging all my fishing gear around to some of the spots I couldn't think of a buying something other than another wrangler.
I did a little wheeling with my TJ and intend to do the same with the JKUR once I get over the "new car" thing. Might actually try and hook up w the local off road guys like I have been wanting to do since I bought my TJ almost 5 years ago.
Happy trails!
Welcome, hook up with them...:punk:

Today I'm sharing another NARS eyeshadow duo, Sugarland. I was initially drawn to this product because I love purple tones on the eyes, especially with golds. I thought it would be a perfect addition to my collection.
These colors are described as "sparkling apricot and gilded orchid pink", which I think is pretty accurate. The gold color definitely has some larger sparkle to it, and the orchid pink color has a gold shimmer in it.
Unfortunately, this is the only NARS eyeshadow duo I've ever tried that didn't meet my expectations. The sparkly gold shade is really difficult to apply (think MAC Honey Lust). It is sheer, has tons of fallout, and overall just not worth the hassle in my opinion. However, the orchid pink shade is wonderful! Smooth, pigmented, and easy to work with. However, because I don't like half of this product, I find that I neglect the half I do like.
NARS eyeshadows come in rubberized black compact casing. I love the design of these compacts: there is a good product-to-casing ratio (as in, not an enormous case with a tiny little pot of product in it). Additionally, a full-size lid mirror is in each compact. The downside of these is that the rubberized finish attracts every fingerprint and fleck of makeup. They get dirty very quickly.
NARS eyeshadow duos retail for $34 (.14 oz/4g). While this is pretty expensive, I think a lot of people don't realize that the NARS dollar-to-weight ratio beats many of its competitors. NARS eyeshadows (in duo form) are technically less expensive than both MAC and Urban Decay.
- NARS: $34/4g = $8.50 per gram ($244 per ounce)
- MAC: $15/1.5g = $10 per gram ($300 per ounce)
- Urban Decay: $18/1.5g = $12 per gram ($360 per ounce)
Something to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to splurge!
Considering this product is especially expensive, I would skip it! If you are going to pay a whopping $34 for two eyeshadows, they both should work well!
What is the last eyeshadow that disappointed you?

So, you've decided on a Disney vacation. You know that you can't control the weather or how crowded the parks are. You can't know if anyone will get sick or if you'll all hate it and wish you'd gone to the beach instead. There are a 100 little things to do to get ready for what is supposed to be a relaxing vacation, but one thing should be simple: The car rental. Unfortunately, as we found out on a recent trip to Disney, it's far from simple. This is my experience. Yours may differ.
There were three adults and three children on our trip, so I needed to rent a minivan or two smaller cars and after comparing the prices, I found that the prices were pretty comparable. Since we were staying off site and wouldn't be able to take a bus from our resort to the parks, I needed some flexibility that would allow my best friend, husband and older child stay at the parks while I took my younger children back for naps, so I rented two smaller cars. All the major car rental companies are represented at Orlando International, in case you found yourself with a burning curiousity of such things, but there's a catch: You see, only six car rental companies are right in the airport. These include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, L&M and National. If you read reviews on this sort of thing, and I do because I'm sort of nerdy, you'll find that they all come in pretty equal in terms of satisfaction except L&M, which isn't rated very high. The on-site location means that you literally grab your bags at the baggage claim, go over to the rental desk, and walk right outside to your car. This avoids the wait for a shuttle bus, loading all your stuff onto the bus, and then the, presumably short, ride to the rental car company, unloading again, and well, you get the picture. The other companies are off-site, and when I say off-site, well, pack a lunch. It could be a long ride.
Since this was a budget trip (aren't they all?), I shopped around for a car quite a bit more than I usually do. This is probably one of the few areas you are guaranteed to save money on a Disney trip and, if you're obsessed with planning Disney vacations, a little bit of a Disney fix. Since it appeared that on-site rentals were about 10 to 15 percent higher than off-site, we went with the off-site rental. We also found a coupon from Hertz that further reduced the price. I verified that the coupon was valid twice before we left because I needed to speak to Hertz customer service for some other issues anyway, and I was worried that I'd get to Orlando and find out the coupon wasn't valid.
Orlando is a pretty efficient airport; you take a shuttle that's a lot like a monorail to the baggage claim area and the car rental offices are right there, as are the rental car company shuttles. After loading all our bags and kids, which isn't as much fun as it sounds, we went out to catch the shuttle and as luck would have it, our shuttle was right there. And we were the only only waiting for it! Yay! Hey, why weren't there more people waiting for Hertz? Hmmm. Well, nevermind. The driver kindly helped us load our bags, even allowing us to keep our double stroller open so we didn't have to empty its contents. We got on the bus. And proceeded to ride. And ride.
As noted above, at MCO, the car rental places that are off-site are way off-site. Like a good 15-20 minute drive on roads that are, at times, bumpy. So when you add waiting for the shuttle, loading your bags, the ride, wrestling with kids who are not strapped down and having a great time running all over the place, unloading yourself, your bouncing children, and your stuff, looking for a cart for your stuff, and then going inside to check-in, well, you've got about a 90 minute ordeal from the baggage claim to getting in your car. And that's during the slower times of the year.
But who cares? We're in Orlando! And, as we soon found, the Hertz rental place was clean and without a doubt nicer than any rental car place I've ever been in. And empty! What luck. It took a few minutes for the two clerks to stop having their very compelling conversation to notice me and waive me over, but no matter. And that, my friends, is when my experience in the clean but not so efficient and certainly not Disney-friendly Hertz rental office goes downhill. Because it turns out that the coupon, the one I verified not once but twice, the one that I found on a site where Hertz advertises its services, is absolutely no good and even with my USAA "discount," I'm still going to pay over $700 for two cars, two carseats, and one GPS (for the husband's car, since he doesn't know Orlando very well). Maybe for a busy week this wouldn't have been such a huge deal, but this was a four day rental during one of the slowest weeks of the year!
I attempted to whip out my lawyer negotiating skills, feebly explaining that since Hertz advertises on the website where I found the coupon and that I called twice about the coupon and had two different employees told me it was valid, I thought they should honor it regardless. When this failed, I asked to speak to the supervisor, who came out about 15 minutes later. Unfortunately, she'd heard it all before and her not-so-thinly veiled lack of caring told me pretty quickly that any negotiations with this woman were pointless. Ultimately, she refused to honor the coupon. When I politely asked her why she would rather that two cars go unused this weekend, a weekend when park attendance was at its lowest and she had a full lot of cars and no customers, she shrugged and proceeded to walk away.
Hertz really has it made in this situation, particularly given the location and the type of travellers they're most likely dealing with: Tourists anxious to get to their desination, probably Disney or Universal Studios, with excited kids. They don't know the area very well and their wallets are still full or they've already spent so much they've stopped caring and gone completely numb in the wallet, a feeling most Disney travellers come to recognize very quickly. Plus, they probably won't be back to Orlando for years, if ever, so what's the point in building a relationship by offering good customer service? The prospect of gathering up your kids, loading one's luggage back onto the shuttle bus, going back to the airport and renting another car, which in itself is an unknown since you never know what kind of deal you'll get at the last minute, is pretty unappealing. I'm sure most people would have paid the extra $300 or so and chalked it up to bad luck. I might have done so as well, if the Hertz manager hadn't been so unprofessional and unfriendly.
So we went back and waited for another shuttle to take us to the airport. I was so rattled at this point that the only company I could think of was Enterprise, a company I've used many times, so that's the one I called. Within minutes the very polite man on the phone got me the exact same deal that Hertz originally "offered" with the coupon: Two cars, two carseats, and one GPS for $375. Once on the shuttle I met a very nice man who gave up his seat for me who told me that he'd just finished a family vacation and that he always uses Hertz for business, but was treated so badly by them this trip (when he arrived he found out his rental would cost $175 more than he was originally quoted), that when he got back to work that Monday, he was going to cancel his Gold membership and start using another company.
Enterprise is also located off-site and the bus was packed. At this point, I was taking a crowded bus as a good sign. The Enterprise location at MCO is . . . interesting. Imagine, if you will, that the Disney Imagineers were told to design a bus station. In a third world country. It was filthy and crowded, the kind of place where my friend Kristina, upon leaving the bathroom, immediately came to warn us to stay clear. But the employees were friendly and despite the crowd, we were in our very clean cars pretty quickly.
What did I learn here? Well, never rent from an off-site rental company in Orlando, although if I had to do it, I'd rent from Enterprise. For me, my vacation time and my sanity are just too precious. When I got back I realized that with a valid coupon, I could have found a cheaper rental right at the airport. Regardless of what you choose, be aware that rental companies at MCO will tell you that they have an airport location, because they technically do, but only those six companies I mentioned above are actually right in the airport. It's not the biggest hassle if it's just you to ride the shuttle to the rental place, but if you have a large party or even one child with you, save your sanity and rent from the ones directly in the airport.

Didn't really like Orange Island, mainly because it had Tracy (who's just as bad as Max and Dawn...woah off topic). Indigo Leauge was the best. Johto had a lot of filler, but what's wrong with filler, as long as it's funny?
A lot of people say it's only because of nostalgia and that we grew up with it, or it came first. That's a part of it, yes, but you'll notice that the writing has improved in Best Wishes, because they (I've heard) brought back the original writers.
Plus, just because Ash could actually suck at being a trainer in the early episodes, Team Rocket was a threat (especially Pokemon Emergency! and Here Comes the Squirtle Squad!), the supporting characters and Characters of the day weren't bland (most of the time), etc.
And this is kinda small, but did anybody else prefer the original coloring style over the new digital style? Oh sure, the new ones are brighter and look newer, but some colors changed (for the worse) such as Jessie's hair went from red to magenta, and Officer Jenny's went from blue to green-ish blue (I think). On top of that, Pikachu was actually cute back then. He was chubby (until Johto or Orange Islands), and he didn't just talk after Ash did. Now (in DP) he's basically like Piplup (off topic again?)....
Plus with the Indigo Leauge, 4Kids did a decent job. They didn't replace riceballs with sandwiches, they actually
the signs instead of just leaving them blank, they tried harder with translation of dialouge (at least earler on), etc. And the music replacement was lower.
Additionally, I liked the older music better, too. Title Screen especially, the
theme, Team Rocket's Motto theme, Kanto Bicycle Theme,
Team Rocket Encounter,
Route 1, not to mention the openings, and
Pikachu's Jukebox/Pokemon Kareokemon
. And I liked
Who's That Pokemon?
beter than
Trainer's Choice (
at least they got
Who's That Pokemon
right, as far as I can remember).

You Sold Out, R.A.
Wow. I did my first fuckin' blog for XXL yesterday and already I'm getting swarmed by complaints. Haha. I got heads hittin' me up, telling me blogging for XXL is a sell out move.
Here is one quote out of many "You're trying to promote your shit 2 much, You're getting famous now like some bullshit Kanye West shit. You're underground don't fall off. "
Here is another: "R.A., dude? XXL? next thing we'll see you holding hands with Elton John at the Grammys. Stop while your ahead"
You people are too simple and don't understand what underground music is. It doesn't mean you can't promote your own shit or can't be heard. Musically Wu-Tang Clan's first album, 36 Chambers, is one of the most underground records of all time. You could hear the mic's distorting, the mixes sounded like they was out of RZA's basement. And just because they were marketed to a larger audience in no way did the Wu conform to any music industry structure with that record.
You idiots need to look at the bright side of shit, You ain't reading some blog from one of these cornball non-lyrical cats, like 98 percent of the rappers being endorsed in the game, so this is a positive thing.
Maybe ya'll are still just feeling hurt and shitted on by so many other rappers who became industry puppets and went from making legit music to strictly trying to sell shit to 8-year-old children. But trust me, I'm here for you mo'fuckas…'til the day I'm dead this music shit is about the art and the culture and advancing my skills and that's it for me, nothing else. And if there are outlets willing to let me spread the word and my music for free with no industry strings attached I'm hoppin' on that shit. You think if Oprah's fat ass asked me to go sit on her fuckin' couch and promote my shit I wouldn't? That's not selling out, that's smart.
In fact I would love it if artists like Hell Razah, Kool G Rap, and Sean Price were getting exposure over acts like Kid Cudi and Lady GaGa, as long as they wasn't switching up their shit. If you conform, purposely make horrible pop garbage, lessen the quality of hip-hop, sell wack shit to the world and make hip-hop look like its some nursery school shit, that hurts hip-hop. What we do, helps it. Here's a little video I did explaining some of this:
Any way enough venting and back to regular bloggin'. First stop today I gotta slide through Def Jam to meet with L.A. Reid's people. Nah, Rugged Man ain't jumping ship with a major, my man, who is an incredible singer/songwriter, is interested in going that route and since I been in the game so many fuckin' years he asked me to come through and watch his back.
Then I gotta go check my new t-shirt design by MissEng. As an indie artist merchandise is important, you could make $30 grand in a few weeks on tour just selling some bullshit ass T-shirts or a mix CD.
Then after I knock out phone interviews this Hungarian Jewish chick been telling me my business skills is wack. She wants to introduce me to some people and get the Rugged Man store/website started online.
Hip-Hop quotes of the day: "You wanna be a conscious rapper, right? hit you in the head, make you an unconscious rapper". – Killah Priest/2009
OK, I'm out, but before I bounce I gotta plug shit. Legendary Classics Vol. 1 hits stores Today.. Run out and support the authentic. Here's a no-budget, ghetto ass, street video they shot right before Tragedy Khadafi got locked. "Free Trag"…This is one of many classic joints that's gunna be on Legendary Classics Vol. 1 in stores now.
Once again, much love people-

European stock markets rose but the euro fell against the dollar on Tuesday as investors cautiously welcomed a bailout deal for Greece that eased fears over a bankruptcy for the indebted eurozone country.
The benchmark FTSE 100 index climbed 0.30 percent to 5,803.99 points in late morning trade in London, also as official data confirmed that Britain had emerged from recession in the third quarter with robust growth of 1.0 percent.
Frankfurt's DAX 30 gained 0.34 percent to 7,316.65 points and the Paris CAC 40 advanced 0.16 percent to 3,506.45.
"European equities are trading moderately higher as overnight, EU finance ministers finally managed to agree to a compromise" on Greece, said ETX Capital trader Markus Huber.
"While a watered down deal was more or less expected and therefore is already to a huge degree priced into share prices, at the same time this agreement/compromise does remove a substantial amount of uncertainty" regarding Greece's membership of the eurozone, he added.
Greece won breathing space on Tuesday with long-frozen eurozone loans to restart from December and a first clear admission that a chunk of the country's debt burden will eventually have to be written off.
After 13 hours of talks in Brussels, the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund agreed to unlock 43.7 billion euros ($56 billion) in loans and on the need to grant significant debt relief for decades to come.
Greece must still meet a series of agreed conditions but "the decision will certainly reduce the uncertainty and strengthen confidence in Europe and in Greece," said European Central Bank President Mario Draghi who left the talks before a final press conference.
The news led to buying of bank shares, with Deutsche Bank advancing 1.89 percent to 33.77 euros, French lender Societe Generale up 1.82 percent to 26.92 euros and Royal Bank of Scotland jumping 3.30 percent to 294.5 pence.
In foreign exchange deals on Tuesday, the European single currency was trading at $1.2947 compared with $1.2971 late in New York on Monday after an initial euro rally petered out.
Sterling rose versus both the euro and dollar in the wake of the positive British economic growth data.
Gold prices dipped to $1,747.65 an ounce from $1,750.50 on Monday on the London Bullion Market.
"The euro has gained some brief support overnight from the (Greece deal) announcement," said Lee Hardman, currency analyst at The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, adding that the measures were "likely to prove a short-term fix" rather than restoring long-term debt sustainability to Greece.
Asia-Pacific stock markets mostly finished higher on Tuesday, with Tokyo closing up 0.37 percent and Sydney rising 0.74 percent. Hong Kong ended flat.
Markets were also closely tracking progress in Washington aimed at averting the so-called fiscal cliff of spending cuts and tax hikes, which will likely send the economy into recession if it comes into effect.
The White House on Monday expressed optimism that a deal would be reached.
President Barack Obama spoke over the weekend to Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic Senator Harry Reid, who control their respective chambers of Congress and are therefore key players in brokering an accord.
"We remain confident that we can achieve an agreement. Work has to be done. Work is continuing to take place," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.

I'm planning on making a tank top for my daughter. Recommended yarn is Cascade Pima Tencel 6 balls (109 yds/50-g ball).
My daughter likes Cascade Fixation Effects, which is 100 yd/50 g relaxed, 186 stretched.
Yarn.com has 5 balls of the Fixation. Would 5 be enough, meaning do we take into account the "186 yds stretched," or do we ignore that, only go by the 100 yd/50 g and still buy 6 balls?
Well, I'm not sure, but I would go with the original yardage. If you want it tighter use a smaller needle or a smaller size.There's nothing worse than running out of yarn because you misjudged. I usually get an extra skein just to be on the safe side.
ETA: I just noticed that they are a different gauge. The fixation is a DK weight the suggested yarn is worsted. You'll have to take that into account when knitting it as well. The DK weight will naturally make it smaller unless you do the math or knit a bigger size. Make a gauge swatch for sure.
I just noticed that they are a different gauge. The fixation is a DK weight the suggested yarn is worsted. [/QUOTE]
Well, I'm glad you noticed that. If you buy the yarn from her to make this, it's DK, or she suggests to use the Cascade, which indeed is worsted. Wow. Hmmm
Thank again, Jodi

Good Morning!!!
Good morning everyone my insomnia was bad last night so after tossing and turning and getting up and down and up and down for 5 1/2 hours and my meds not working I got up out of bed and made muffins, granola bars, instant oatmeal, did dishes, laundry and am starting housework. It is just 7 am now. I still have to go get DD from spark camp, go over to my moms and move furniture, dig out her flower beds,She has decided to pull everything and start from scratch, mow her lawn, and bath her stinky dog. It is going to be along day.

WOW! Your on a Roll! Well if you still have any energy left you can come on over to our house. Plenty to be done here
I sympathize with you regarding the insomnia. I've had bouts of that in the past and it's not fun. For me I found that warm milk and reading a book right before bedtime helped.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements05-17-2009, 09:13 AM #4

Dane DeHaan makes gruesome Goblin
Dane DeHaan "scared" Emma Stone while in costume as the Green Goblin.
The 28-year-old actor plays the menacing villain in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opposite Emma, who plays the superhero's love interest Gwen Stacy. Dane underwent a dramatic transformation for the role, including fake teeth and rotten make-up, which frightened Emma when filming scenes with him.
"With Dane it was terrifying," she told New York Daily News about her character's interaction with the Green Goblin. "Dane has a gaze that is very penetrating and when he's in full wardrobe as the Goblin it was really scary to see him."
Dane's character starts off as Harry Osborn, close friend of Spider-Man's true identity Peter Parker. To give depth to his troubled alter ego, Dane revealed he based his character on hipsters and "trust fund babies" he meets in his own neighbourhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
"I live there [so] I understand this culture," he explained. "Harry is not based on any real person, but I know people he could be friends with… in Williamsburg."
Director Marc Webb has admitted Dane wasn't his initial choice for the role. It was only when the handsome star auditioned with a unique Brooklyn style that the filmmaker was convinced.
"I wouldn't say I wasn't at the top of their list," Dane laughed. "I would say I wasn't even on their list. I had nothing to lose. Everyone around me was a very different type than me."
Dane has previously starred in features including Kill Your Darlings and Lincoln, but this adventure franchise is the most successful of his career so far.
"Yeah this is my biggest movie, but only by about $150 million," he mused.

In tarot reading, your inner voice should always guide you.
Tarot readings primarily work on the principle of intuition. When you read the cards, you are listening to your own inner voice. Although it's quite helpful to understand the various tarot card meanings, it isn't always necessary. It's more important to learn how to identify your own intuitive thoughts and reactions each card invokes. When you learn how to do this, you are more likely to have much more accurate tarot readings than by just interpreting the cards solely by their meanings .
Tarot reading is a tool to help you uncover solutions to your problems. Yes, they can be predictive, but the true effectiveness of the Tarot comes from what it shifts inside you. It's merely a way to help you find your own answers. On some level, I believe we already know what lies in store for us. This is largely due to the fact that our own thoughts shape the course of our lives. The cards serve as triggers or markers that can bring our intuition to the conscious surface.
The Tarot teaches us that we inherently have the ability to create the lives we want. The more we work on our connection to a higher power, the easier this becomes. The Tarot serves as a method to establish a communication between ourselves and our higher purpose. The accuracy of a reading depends on how we learn how to identify our own higher self or our own inner voice. For me, these two things are one and the same.
The next time you perform a tarot reading, look for those "a-ha!" moments. It's always helpful to evaluate your reading from your own feelings and experiences. Your gut can tell you if you are on or off. Of course there will be some readings where you simply may not be able to identify your own inner voice. That's quite all right. Not every reading is going to flow. In fact, some of them can feel strained or forced. When this happens, you can always fallback to your basic understanding of the various tarot cards and their meanings. You can also rely on the cards position in the tarot spread to find additional meaning.
Finally, if all else fails, you can always pull some confirmation cards. People generally refer to these as clarifying cards. Clarifying cards are used to help you get more information on a subject or to get validation for a particular interpretation. You can pull clarifying cards during a reading or you can pull them after. Either way, they can ultimately deepen the tarot reading's message and can certainly confirm as to whether you are on the right track.

Ten Year Plan | August 2, 2006
Files: PDF | 227 KB | 27 pages
The City of Burlington, Vermont's ten-year plan to end homelessness is entitled "Moving Towards Home: Strategies for Ending Homelessness in Ten Years" and was prepared by Margaret Bozik of the Community & Economic Development Office. In addition to reexamining the reasons behind why people are homeless, the plan also outlines 15 recommendations for action. Examples of these actions are to increase the supply of affordable housing, increase the supply of permanent supportive housing, provide the resources necessary to help people maintain a stable housing situation and to prevent homelessness, and ensure that treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and for mental illness is readily and promptly available.

The just-announced Chromebooks may not be ideal for consumers, but for certain businesses, they look to be a great deal. Here are four reasons Chromebooks could be a great fit for businesses.
They're cheap
For businesses, there are no upfront costs for Chromebooks --- just $28 per month. And that $28 per month is on a month-to-month basis; there are no annual contracts. Because the devices don't need to be purchased, it means that enterprises can significantly cut down on capital costs. Because they can simply be returned, with no penalties, it offers financial flexibility as well.
They don't require applications
Enterprises spend significant amounts of money on office suites and other applications. With Chromebooks, that cost goes down to zero. So do the associated support headches.
They're great for testing the cloud
Talk about the cloud is much like a quote misattributed to Mark Twain: "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." The same is true about the cloud: everyone talks about it but few are very serious about using it.
With Chromebooks, the cloud gets real. They represent a great test for whether a company can truly move as much as possible to the cloud. Enterprises would be smart to set up pilot programs moving to the cloud and accessing it via Chromebooks. Given that Chromebooks only require monthly fees and no capital costs, they're ideal for a test bed.
Support costs are low
With no applications to install, manage, update, and patch, Chromebooks can cut an enterprises's support costs significantly. As for hardware, if something goes wrong with a Chromebook, there's no need to spend any time troubleshooting --- simply return it and get a new one. You'll still only pay $28 per month.
But they're not for everyone
Chromebooks have many advantages, but they're not for every company. Web-based apps like Google Docs simply aren't as sophisticated as Microsoft Office, so companies whose employees require Office should stay away. In addition, Chromebooks require always-on Internet access, which isn't always possible for employees who travel.
Given that, companies would do well to phase in Chromebooks rather than going to an all-out deployment.

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Attendees of the J. Harry Persse Memorial Concert on Sunday will hear a piece of music that hasn't been performed in more than 250 years.
The tribute to Persse, a Savannah musician and educator, will feature Armstrong Atlantic State University's chorale and chamber choir.
See Also
They will perform "Dixit Dominus," an original composition set to Psalm 109 by the Italian composer Francesco Durante, which has not yet been performed in modern times.
It was transcribed from the mid-1700s version, into a piece for modern performance by an upper-level music history class at the university, under the supervision of Robert Harris, director of choral activities.
The project posed many challenges for the class.
"There is a fair bit of detective work and decision making," Harris said. "The copy is never pristine when you start."
The decision making comes into play when it's hard to tell where a note lies - on the line or in the space - in the sometimes hastily handwritten pages of music.
Sometimes the ink the music was written in will cause a problem, Harris said, bleeding through pages and camouflaging the notes.
"(Durante) kind of had bad handwriting," soprano Ashley Adams said. "It was all mushed together. Everything was all out of order and some of the symbols we don't use anymore."
On Sunday, Adams will be performing the solo soprano part she transcribed.
To Adams, looking at the black and white photocopies of Durante's handwritten work was like looking back in time.
"A lot of people read music off of the page and don't think about where it comes from," Adams said. "Mozart and Handel, their music is hundreds of years old. It's great to see the beginning of a piece."
Harris has conducted on-site research at the British Library in London, Trinity College, in Dublin, as well as the Library of Congress and the New York and Boston Public Libraries.
There is much music yet to be discovered, Harris said.
"I talked to the head librarian at the Library of Congress and he indicated that only 10 percent of the music in the collection at the Library of Congress has ever been catalogued," Harris said. "Ninety percent of it is warehoused and they have no clue what might be discovered there - lost pieces of Bach or Mozart - whatever may be sitting in a climate-controlled warehouse in Virginia somewhere."
Harris - who does this project with his students yearly - said it helps students appreciate music as a process.
He added: "It is a chance for (students) to understand that the music they go to the store and buy is quite a bit removed from where the composer started out."

The Skyway I am told by long time Columbians was located right across from the SC State Fairgrounds on Rosewood Dr.
Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois on July 8, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Open 1950-1985?
I know it was open in 1967 and was listed as Sky Way.
It was located near train tracks, if that helps?
Anyone know anything about a Skyway Annex Drive-In 1955?
Could use an address, more info and photos!

Chuckles about town
1) "Great high-vis gear," said a pedestrian as Debra Lee waited on her bike at the lights, clad in yellow. "Yes," she replied with a smile, "nobody could miss me." To which his companion cheerfully piped up: "Somebody will."
2) "I don't usually ask for a tax invoice, but at a cafe in Mt Eden I did," writes a reader. "I noticed that we had been charged for butter for our two hot cross buns. User pays, I guess!"
Whatever happened to Doctor Doctor and Nurse Nurse?
"Does this snippet from the Sydney Morning Herald's Column 8 ring any bells in Waikanae?" asks Eric Shackle. "My wife's uncle, John Doctor, an ENT surgeon, married a professional colleague, a Miss Nurse. This nuptial union took Waikanae by storm. 'Doctor Doctor marries Nurse Nurse!' Worthy esteem and a profound cheer-up for a remote corner of the mid-1940s Empire ..." There must be an interesting update to that story, concludes Eric. "Did Nurse Nurse (who became Nurse Doctor after her marriage) get to nurse any children?" Please email Sideswipe, we'd love to know.
Toys in police arsenal
On Monday, Doug shared a yarn about a police car trying to rush to an urgent callout with an officer in the front seat making siren-like noises into the microphone. Retired police officer Grant explains: "In the mid-80s we were changing from grey cars to white. Sirens weren't allowed. The passenger's job was to use the PA, and say 'excuse me, excuse me' while trying to sound like a siren. Back then the lights were two see-through blue buckets that spun slowly, with a 'taxi' light in the middle saying 'police'. Even worse, we bought children's sirens once from a toy shop (as well as water guns for a water fight), and were offered a discount for being armed services. We would hold the child's toy against the microphone for the pa so we had a real siren."
Light-protected milk a con
"Not only does the new Anchor bottle hide how much milk I have left, but I don't get the idea that it blocks out light," says Mike Honey. "Along with most people (I hope), I store my milk in the fridge. The fridge door may be open, or the milk on the bench, for maybe 30 minutes in total each day. For the other 23.5 hours it is in my fridge with the door closed. My unlit fridge. (As a lad I conducted the age-old experiment to prove that the fridge light goes out when the door closes). So this cunning plan to add a couple of days to the best-before date is an absolute con job."
Politics of death: Even in death Margaret Thatcher was divisive - some mourned while others danced in the streets; even CNN couldn't help but show its bias by showing photos of Thatcher alongside Jimmy Saville.
Picture this: If you look closely, you can see an image of Jesus (or a cat, if you're an atheist).
Quick clip: Two bikes, one puddle and beautiful syncronisation
TV: This man is obsessed with being a merman...
Local: The Auckland Council are wanting you to faff about with their online housing simulator and work out a solution for them on where to build the estimated 400,000 homes to accommodate the increasing number of JAFAs needing digs in the coming decades.

Free 3D Police Chase Game – Ghetto Getaway
Ghetto Getaway is a cool, fast-paced street car driving & police chase game for teens and grown-ups (that requires Adobe Shockwave Player to play) where you play the role of a getaway driver who has to outrun the police who are in hot pursuit, and deliver illegal parcels to various different locations. Time is ticking, so you'll have to drive like the wind to make the drop-offs before it's too late.
You play the role of a wanted felon, so the police will try anything to stop you reaching your target points. They've laid out barriers, and sent patrol cars after you to try and stop your cool getaway car in its tracks. Pull intense hand-brake turns around sharp corners, and outmaneuver the bumbling police cars in this furious 3D driving adventure challenge. Be careful, as all those breakneck-speed turns can result in crashes.
Try to keep your car in the best shape possible to succeed. Your quick reaction skills will be tested, as there are so many sharp corners along the city streets. Ready to steer yourself onto the path of Getaway Greatness? Good, let's rev it up Dude!
How to Play: Control your powerful getaway car using the Arrow Keys on your computer keyboard. Up Arrow = Accelerate; Down Arrow = Reverse; Left and Right Arrows = Steer. To slam on the handbrake, hit the C key. Use this key to maneuver around sharp corners more easily. You have to make numerous drop-offs at different locations around the city. The location of your drop-off is indicated by the Red Compass Bar on your dashboard at the bottom right of the game screen. Follow the Red Compass to reach the drop-off location. The numbers beside the Compass Bar decrease as you get closer to the drop-off.
Once you reach the location, drive at the Yellow Arrow on the street to automatically make the drop. If you are taking too long, a clock starts to tick down at the top of the game area. If you fail to make the drop-off before the clock ticks down, you move onto the next drop. The police have sent cars after you, avoid them at all costs. They will attempt to crash into you, so be ready to swerve away from them. Try not to crash too often – the Car Icon at the bottom left of the play area indicates how damaged your car is. If it fills up red all the way, it's game over, and you have to start all over again.
Tip: If you get pinned into a corner by a cop car, hit the R key to reset your car into the center of the street.

The headline on July 10, 2014, read "Blues lose Vladimir Sobotka to KHL". The six most dreaded words for the St Louis Blues, became a reality. Not quite the sum of all fears, but close to it. The Blues have been building this team for years. Head coach Ken Hitchcock has done a fine job, and seems to have all the players fully committed. This was something they seemingly did not see coming. St Louis has come up short in the playoffs the last few seasons, but were actively making moves to improve the team.
The Blues' achilles heel, has been a lack of playoff scoring. Given the recent success of the Los Angeles Kings, NHL teams are prioritizing the need for strength at center ice. Having picked up Paul Stastny this offseason, the Blues were seemingly headed in the right direction, until this bombshell hit. The lineup should have had David Backes and Paul Stastny as the top two centers, backed up by Sobotka and Maxim Lapierre. Unstead, St Louis is now going to have to rely on veteran Steve Ott. Ott, along with goalie Ryan Miller, was signed at last season's trade deadline, and much like Miller, his impact on the team was negligible. 23 games played, zero goals, 3 assists, and a plus/minus rating of -12.
Miller simply did not come through in the big moments down the stretch of the regular season (Blues went 3-7 in last 10 games of the regular season), nor in the playoffs. In fact, Miller went belly-up in the first round of the playoffs, as the Blues were overwhelmed by Chicago, after winning the first two games of the series. As the series went on, Miller got weaker and weaker. He posted an abysmal .868 save percentage in Games 3-6, and ultimately wound up giving up five goals in the decisive Game 6; a 5-1 loss. File it under "Epic fail." Oddly, Miller is still considered a "top goaltender", which was a rather loose billing, even before this latest fiasco.
As the smoke clears, and we wait for NHL training camps to begin, the Blues look to rely on Brian Elliott in goal. Elliott has been solid over the years, and probably would have done a better job than Miller, had he been the postseason starter. Given the circumstances under which Miller came to the team, and the money committed, it would have been a sticky situation, had Hitchcock decided to bench Miller in the postseason. As an organization, the Blues were committed to ride and die with Miller. It was what it was.
The trade for Ott and Miller, was rather curious in the first place. The Blues gave away much-needed scoring (Chris Stewart), and a solid goaltender (Jaroslav Halak), for a non-scorer, and a goaltender who had never come up big in a playoff series. What's done, is done.
Looking toward the future, the Blues now have a hole at center ice which they must fill, otherwise they can say goodbye to any Stanley Cup hopes. When the team signed Paul Stastny, it seemed they were so close to making progress toward closing the gap on the vaunted four horsemen (Anze Kopitar, Jeff Carter, Jarret Stoll, Mike Richards) which the Los Angeles Kings have at center ice. In a flash, it all changed. Life comes at you fast, that's why you need a 'Plan B'. The Blues immediate reaction, was to sign Steve Ott to a new two-year contract. Let's see what else the Blues have.
Good luck to Sobotka, as he chases money instead of the Stanley Cup. I am sure he and Ilya Kovalchuk will have some great times.
In the meantime, the Los Angeles Kings and the Stanley Cup continue to travel the World.

About MeHello MMers,
I'm an experienced, agency represented, professional model and make-up artist who enjoys moonlighting as a doe-eyed pinup vixen! I'm lucky enough to make a living in the commercial field, but that world doesn't satisfy my love of all things vintage. So, I'm here to network with other creatives who share the same interests. Maybe we can create something worth hanging on the wall or even worth publishing? Who knows. ;)
Since I'm not new to modeling, I like collaborating with folks who have a working game plan. Meaning, I'll likely say yes if you include:
- Theme (extra points if you attach an inspiration board!)
- Proposed time and location
- Your contact information
- Payment details
I am available to shoot limited tests around paid work. Please don't take it personally if I say no during "season".
I own a large collection of vintage wardrobe and props, and do offer services as a pinup stylist, so feel free to check out my work at: www.modelmayhem.com/rmhdstyling, or click on the pretty blonde below ;).
TO CONTACT ME, PLEASE EMAIL ME at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
(I travel a lot and do not always get to PMs in a timely fashion.)

Happy Fourth to you, too, Rob! Glad you had a good day. We did sparklers on the front lawn and can hear all kinds of fireworks going off this evening throughout the neighborhood.
Take care, Yvie
Day 112: Zealand Falls to Lakes of the Clouds
Loading Map
Happy 4th of July everyone! (well the people reading from the USA anyway!) I'm up at 5000 ft watching the displays of fireworks in the valleys below. Safe to say I don't usually see fireworks from above.
So in camping you can get an early start with no one to bother in the morning. I got up early and started hiking at 6:30. It feels so good to be out early on the trail. And the first 6 or so miles are easy. I make a short pit stop at one of the pay sites. Amazingly the shelter is one of the worst ive seen on the trail. Eight bucks for the night? No thanks!
Second breakfast is at the Saco River and then I have the 2500 foot climb up to Mt Webster and the Webster cliffs.
After Webster and Jackson then I reach the Mazpah hut at 1:30 and buy some homemade soup for lunch. Delicious to have a cooked meal (especially when I'm not the chef) up in the mtns.
I'm now up on the famous/infamous Presidential Ridge. I climb Pierce, Eisenhower, Franklin, and then arrive around dinner time at the Lakes of the Clouds Hut. The ridge walk above treeline to get here was very windy but the view long and spectacular! I ask for work for stay and they are happy to oblige. The hut is huge, accomodating up to 90 guests! Wowsers. There are four working thruhikers here tonight. Me, Pine and another older guy are NOBO and
yaw is SOBO. We do some menial work and get to eat the cold leftovers. AYCE is lovely especially when there is also dessert.
The sunset this evening was one to write home about. Absolutely spectacular with backlit clouds and everything. Today there were also a bunch of "UFO" clouds about. I haven't seen these types since Patagonia!
Another 20 mile day, but with a good early start it felt fine. Tomorrow will be Mt Washington which is looming above the hut. Always another mtn to climb! Well as I watch the line of traffic going home from the fireworks. I feel up above the world of chaos. Life in the mtn is beautiful when the weather is nice. The wind is rattling the windows so it's good to be inside.
Happy bday USA, and greetings to everyone. Hope that all is well down in the lowland.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Happy Fourth to you, too, Rob! Glad you had a good day. We did sparklers on the front lawn and can hear all kinds of fireworks going off this evening throughout the neighborhood.
Hey Rob,
We spent some time at the pool yesterday with your mom, dad, and Stephen... as always it was a nice visit!
Your mom and dad updated us regarding your progress... amazing accomplishment! You should be very proud of yourself. You have already achieved far more than most people could ever dream of. It takes a special kind of person to exhibit the courage and fortitude to travel so far on foot and endure the many hardships I'm sure you have encountered. I know you have learned more about yourself in the past several months than most people will ever learn about themselves in a lifetime.
As I'm sure you know - one step, one day at a time. Enjoy the journey and don't forget to rest. The off days are just as important as the days you make great progress. I know you will be hooking up with family before to long - something to look forward to. We are all very proud of how far you have come - you have gained insight and knowledge few people will ever attain.
Tim Fitz
Congratulations Rob -you are certainly a wonder--Can't believe what you have done . Wish I was near so I could make you lunch !!! Guess your trail does not come near Boston but watching your travels .Take care dear love Great aunt jessie

damage to prefinished floors normal during a remodel?
I'm a home owner who is in the process of having a general contractor complete a remodel job on my home. The reason I'm posting here is to understand how much damage to the floors is considered normal during the construction process. My GC had new pre-finished wood floors installed (glue-down) during the early stages of the remodel. The floors were then covered with paper during the remainder of the construction. Now that the paper is up, I've noticed several deep scratches throughout which are extremely visible. I don't want to be a pain in the butt to my GC, so I'd like to know if this kind of damage is normal and to be expected on pre-finished floors? Should I insist that all the damaged boards be replaced? I'm also concerned that the replaced boards will not fit as tight as the originals. The planks have beveled edges and it seems that replacing boards would require cutting/trimming of new planks in order to get them to fit.. this would mean that the beveled edges on the ends of the plank would be cut off. If you guys have any advice, I'm all ears.
Things like that are regrettable, but accidents do happen even on the best-run jobs. If he's a reputable, conscientious contractor, chances are he already has plans to repair it prior to declaring that he's finished.
On the other hand, not knowing you personally and precisely what "extremely visible" means to you, I could see the problem being overlooked/not noticed until the very end. It can certainly do no harm to tactfully call it to his attention, just to make sure that he's aware of it.
If he is aware of it and tries to wiggle out of doing anything about it, that's when the gloves should come off.
Oh boy, that sounds bad...:(
pre-finished floors are very sensitive,usually it gets scratches while walking on it with your shoes on.I wouldn't recomand pre-finished floors to anyone.
There is nothing wrong with pre-finished floors but they should go down at the end of the job not the beginning. I have seen contractors have carpet installed before the walls are doped and painted. How crazy is that. Make him fix it and fix it properly.
tazin's right, the floor should have been the LAST thing he did.....
We install the flooring absolutely last in any project: new or remodel.
Any GC with half a brain, would not install flooring first, or early in a remodeling project. That is just wrong. = You are asking for damage. Strike 1.
Even if there were a situation, where there was new, or newer flooring installed, with more work to be performed on a project, "paper" is not going to protect a dang thing. That is strike 2, for that "GC".
It's a new floor, it should be in new condition, when the completed project is turned over to the owner or Client.

Thanks guys for the advice. I did ask him why he chose to install the flooring before trim & cabinets and he said that it's done that way so all the door casings sit flush with the floor. But I will address this with the GC.
I've attached a picture to show you my definition of 'extremely visible'. I've counted probably a dozen or more of these types of scratches and maybe a handful of large dents where heavy items may have been dropped. The floors are still quite dusty, so its a bit scary to imagine what else I'll find once everything has been cleaned up.
Paper covering was a stupid choice for this application. He should have covered it with something like homosote board OVER the paper or installed the floor last.
He should replace it or refinish it on his dime.
As far as I'm concerned ,there is no acceptable excuse for that.
We would have used, at a miniumum, 1/8" Luan to cover a floor during work. Underlayment paper is not a material that will protect any floor's finish during a remodeling project.
As a contractor, I would NOT allow the new floors to be covered with anything LESS than a layer of rosin paper (seams taped with blue tape), layer of cardboard (seams taped with duct tape) and then a layer of luan (seams taped with duct tape).
If we don't use at least that, we're asking for trouble. I think your contractor tried to cut corners and screwed up. That would not be acceptable to me if that happened with one of my jobs. :no:
the contractor has replaced the damaged planks, however, it still feels like a patch up job. They had to cut out the damaged planks individually, then trim off the tongues on the new planks in order to drop them into place. Because of the soft cork underlayment and the fact that the replaced planks don't interlock into the surrounding planks, there's some movement & creaking when you walk over the replaced boards.The movement isn't noticeable with shoes, but it is with bare feet. Also some of the replaced planks stick up just slightly higher than the surrounding original boards - again because there was no way to interlock them. Its not very noticeable, but its easy to see if you are looking for it. On top of all this, there is some slight chipping of the surrounding boards that occurred as they chiseled out the damaged planks.
What should I do at this point? I don't know if I'm being over critical...should I just learn to accept it? The floors have already been entirely replaced once before during this project (due to quality issues with previous product) and it now feels like I might have to go through that again. I don't want my GC to lose money, but on the other hand, I'm paying $175k+ for this job.
Two saw cuts are made lengthwise, and then the center section is removed.
Then, the tongue edge and the groove edge are removed.
The replacement plank (the same length will have the lower edge of the grooves removed, to allow the plank to drop in.
Before, the plank is placed, the grooves will have glue applied so as to bond the plank to the adjacent tongue.
Is this the method tha was used in your case? If so, why were adjacent boards damaged?
On a new floor, no damage is acceptable!
