If any of you have played a show for, or have been in attendance at, a Two Way Monologues night at Rancho Relaxo, there's no denying the impact they've had on the local music community. Sadly, Two Way Monologues is packing it in at Rancho, but they are going out in style with a three-day mini-festival. We're playing the first night on June 27th. Everything you need to know about our involvement can be found here and below.
Dan Wolovick booked our first Toronto show at Rancho Relaxo. Honoured to be playing one of his last.
Just a quick update to let everyone know that we're heading into the studio this weekend to record a couple of new songs.
We're working with Joe Lapinski at Yummy Recordings. He's recorded some of our personal favourites so it should be a really fun session.
Expect a digital single sometime this summer.
Some fun shows are also in the works.
See you soon.

Saratoga: Teeth of the Dog on roll for Jim Dandy
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – In a perfect world, trainer Michael Matz would be taking Union Rags to Monmouth Park for Sunday's $1 million Haskell while pointing Teeth of the Dog to next weekend's $750,000 West Virginia Derby at Mountaineer.
In the imperfect world that is horse racing, Matz has had to make a different plan.
A suspensory injury has prematurely ended the career of Belmont Stakes winner Union Rags, prompting Matz and owner Jose Singer to run Teeth of the Dog in Saturday's Grade 2, $600,000 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga.
"Anytime you have a horse like this that you could point to something like that it sure helps," said Matz, who is still stinging from the retirement of Union Rags.
Teeth of the Dog, winner of the Grade 2 Dwyer Stakes at Belmont four weeks ago, is one of eight 3-year-olds entered in the Jim Dandy, the local prep for the $1 million Travers Stakes here Aug. 25.
With Wood Memorial winner Gemologist opting to run in Sunday's Haskell, the Jim Dandy became a more wide-open affair. Alpha, the Wood runner-up and a multiple stakes winner during the winter at Aqueduct; Neck 'n Neck, who has won his last two in dominant fashion; and Teeth of the Dog, who also won an overnight stakes on Belmont Day; could all vie for favoritism.
Teeth of the Dog's versatility could give him an edge in this well-matched field that has to navigate 1 1/8 miles.
After running fifth in the Preakness, Teeth of the Dog won the Easy Goer Stakes, coming from off the pace. Three weeks later, on the same track with the same half-mile fractions, Teeth of the Dog won the Dwyer, holding off Fast Falcon by a neck.
[Complete coverage of racing at Saratoga: News, PPs, and video]
"I don't think he thought there was that much pace in it and when all those other horses decided to go with him, he was already committed," Matz said, referring to jockey Joel Rosario, who will ride Teeth of the Dog for the third straight time.
Teeth of the Dog will break from post 6, with My Adonis, the other potential speed in the field, directly to his inside.
Neck 'n Neck wasn't mature enough to handle the rigors of the Triple Crown campaign during the winter in Florida, but has since developed into a solid colt. He won a first-level allowance race by 6 1/2 lengths at Churchill on May 10, then came back five weeks later and dominated a short field in the Grade 3 Matt Winn, winning by 7 1/4 lengths.
Trainer Ian Wilkes added blinkers to Neck 'n Neck's equipment four starts back and said that move and maturity have combined to improve Neck 'n Neck.
"Before, he got to ducking and diving, wouldn't pass horses, just wouldn't do things right," Wilkes said. "He'd lose focus, drop out of it, and the race was done. He's into a rhythm now."
Wilkes said he has been very happy with how Neck 'n Neck has trained over Saratoga's main track. Jockey Leandro Goncalves makes his Saratoga debut in this spot.
If you draw a line through Alpha's two races at Churchill Downs – 11th in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and a 12th in the Kentucky Derby – he has 3-2-0 record from five starts. He began his career with a six-length maiden win here, making him the only horse to have a win – or a race – over this track.
Alpha missed the Belmont Stakes due to a temperature and was shipped to Saratoga in mid-June, where he has trained exceptionally well over the main track for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.
"I think it helped that we backed off a little bit," McLaughlin said. "He has done very well, he's put weight on, he's happy, doing great."
Atigun finished third in the Belmont, beaten only two lengths by Union Rags. His trainer, Ken McPeek, believes the horse could be sitting on his biggest performance yet.
"He's probably coming into this race as well as I've ever seen him," McPeek said. "He needs pace in the race, and you don't ever know how that's going to set up."
Fast Falcon has improved with each of his last three performances, though he was twice beaten by Teeth of the Dog. As a son of Awesome Again, he should appreciate the 1 1/8 miles of the Jim Dandy.
"He's bred for it, he ran very, very well, I'm kind of excited about that," trainer Nick Zito said. "I'm happy with his progression. He's an improving horse, and we'll go from there."
Trainer Bob Baffert has shipped Liaison cross-country for the Jim Dandy. He is coming off two narrow losses in the Affirmed and Swaps, both at Hollywood Park. Before that, he finished sixth in the Kentucky Derby.
Prospective finished 18th in the Kentucky Derby, but has since won two stakes, including the Grade 2 Ohio Derby.
One thing I never like is watching my up and comer show marked improvement without winning (Atigun from the Belmont), and then - all of a sudden - become the "clever" pick of too many "wise guys". I can't go for that. He should have won the Belmont - he looked like the winner from the moment the gates sprung, and I felt extreme confidence as he took the field's measure around the far turn and loomed boldly at the top of the stretch. When you are 30-1, and show that much of your hand, you're supposed to win. Needless to say, I'm a little leary. I don't like taking horses who are bet down like a "good thing" but haven't - yet - proved themselves. If he stays around his morning line of 8-1, no problem, he's definitely worth a flyer. At 4-1, 9-2, 5-1? You can have him.
I've claimed that Teeth of the Dog is one of the best colts in the country, and I still believe that. I'd like to see him run around two turns first before enorsing for the Travers. This is gonna be a great betting race. Gotta go with Attigun after his Belmont run against Paynter.
The Belmont is turning out to be a Key Race. My Adonis came back to win, and Street Life came back to win. Attigun takes it.
Attigun and Prospective my top horses based on price.
IHA's bro NnN looks ready to roll. He's a far better horse than he was last winter and I think he will explode from a stalking spot. I think Zito may have finally raced Fast Falcon into shape, think he runs huge as well. It's the type of race where the NY jockey colony will do the usual and after all the deliberations, probably only three horses will be put into the race at any point.
Atigun wins. Period. End of story.
Teeth of the dog is the first throw out. Prospective is the second throw out. Neck n Neck with the mortgage payment. He's going to kill this field unless it rains.
Teeth of the Dog is as Gamest as they could be...; 100% with my Dominican friends for the Jim Dandy !

It wuz a cold, dark night an' dere wuz a chill in da air. Da lawn iz freezin' over an' da deck iz slipperee so I triez ta get my biznezz done kwik. Da lightz flicker a bit den go out so I goez ta lay down by da fire ta keep my emtpy coin purse warm until bed time. *grin* I eatz my dinner in da dark.
Da onlee light iz from da softlee glowin' fire. Sumpin' jest ain't soundin' right but I iz frozen to da spot. Strange noisez move through da house an' I can't find da mommy. Soon, dere iz odd smellz comin' after me followed by dem spooky soundz!
I dash down da hallway an' into da parental unitz' room where my cuddle bed iz an' I run ta my bed but I hitted my head on da wall an' passed out.
When I waked up it seemed dat da smell had turned into dis foul stench dat wuz unbearable an' dere wuz a huge weight upon my head. I could hardly breathe an' couldn't move a muskle.
Da lightz camed back on an' I hearded muffled laffin'. I wantz ta check it out but I jest can't move so I digz my feet in an' push reelly hard! So hard dat I mighta tooted a bit. Dat'z when da stench got ta me. I tinked I wuz gonna suffokayte but I managed ta grab a piece of sumtin' flabby an' bited as hard as I could.
Den I waked up ta find dat Fatty sister of mine sittin' on my head! She jumped up an' runned wif her butt on da ground, yelpin'!
I iz a skaree manpug!
See da hoomanz tink it'z very funnee ta call me all kindz of namez. Sum iz gud, sum not so much. Take fer example, The PeeMeister. Now...okay, I might resemble dat sumtimez cuz, well, I iz "jest sayin'" dat I iz here an' I iz a pug-man now. I can even understand when dey call me Poopzilla. I mean - hey! What self-respectin' pugger don't leave da occasional prezzie layin' aroun' da house, yew know? Dem even callz me Freak. Again, I can't complain cuz I wuz borned wif bad kneez - at least da hoomanz fixed dem fer me.
But I tink I has ta put my paw down when dem startz callin' me da Low-Rider. Now, it izn't my fault dat I likez ta bug Mizz Fatty by tryin' ta get my groove ting on. An' it ain't even my fault dat I can't straighten my kneez out all da way...at least I ain't all jiggly wiggly like HER! So now my whole page iz all doned up, I gotz me a hoodie on, da perfect song (according ta daddy, anybark) an' I iz STILL gettin' da shaft! Wut'z wrong wif dem hoomanz?
If'n dem iz gonna callz me da Low-Rider, den dat wuld imply I gotz me a reputayshun ta uphold, right? Oh no...da hoomanz iz jest mean. Dem letz dat Fatty sister of mine get away wif everyting! Why jest last night she wuz laffin' at me an' kepted chargin' after my cute little mug face! Da nerve, right? Well, I knowed wut it wuz about, she iz tired of my attenshunz. Okay, I getz it. Well...her iz very "healthy" so I jest started ta plop over onto my back wif my legz all relaxed. She sniffed an' sniffed. I dont' know wut she tinked wuz so gud about dat...but dat iz why I iz da Low-Rider. Cuz I been livin' on my back.
I tink I needz a new home! I iz bein' used an' abused!! I iz puttin' myself up fer adopshun so send in yer resumez.
Hercules da discompuglated pugger
Otay, my summer wuz better den I tinked it wuld be. I spended more time recoverin' frum my knee surgereez but da mommy letted me outta my crate in late July becuz my musklez had atrophied. (Dat meanz da musklez wented away.) So da mommy watched me very closely ta make shur I didn't do no jumpin' or anyting dangerous dat culd pop da pinz outta my kneez an' worked wif me dis summer on buildin' up my musklez. It musta worked, too, cuz da vet lady wuz reelly surprized at how well I wuz doin' considerin' da amount of bone she tooked out. She sez I iz turnin' out ta be one mighty handsome pugger an' she be very proud of me! Whoo-hoo!!
Den, me an' Mizz Fatty got ta work on our tanz an' our love wrinklez. Dat iz alwayz a lot of fun! I iz turnin' into a reelly gud fud stealer! BOL!!
Dis bringz me ta my reel reason fer postin'...we gotsta prepare fer da lekchure on badness which will include - yew guessed it - fud stealin'!
Stay tuned!

Sounds like an innocent enough group with a positive agenda. However, the fact that this group's website provides a link to the "Medical Institute" website should give one pause. The "Medical Institute" Board reads like a Who's Who Amongst the Puritan "You Shall Live As We Tell You" Crowd.

Sources in the IB have claimed that top Naxal leaders Kisna and Ramanna had instructed their cadre to kidnap important personnel like what happened in Odisha. The incident in Odisha saw two foreigners and a BJD MLA being kidnapped by Maoists. It has now been more or less confirmed that Kisna and Ramanna are behind Menon's abduction.
Local sources have stated that these top Naxal commanders were seen near Bijapur and Sukma areas of Chhattisgarh over the last few days. A senior security official has been quoted as saying, "The intelligence alert probably explains why the collector was accompanied by the two armed guards who, unfortunately, were killed by the Naxals."
The Union Home Ministry is in close liaison with the state government in assessing the situation as it is the first time an IAS officer and a collector has been kidnapped in Chhattisgarh. The intelligence agencies have instructed state machineries to remain in high alert since another Naxal strike cannot be ruled out.
Though reports claim that Menon was absolutely safe, a high-level security meeting of state police and intelligence officials discussed the possibility of the Collector being shifted to Odisha by the ultras. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will also be pressed into service from Monday to survey the dense jungles of Chhattisgarh and Odisha as well as the adjoining states in a lookout for the abducted Collector.
The Naxals have demanded that all operations against them be stopped immediately and that the para-military forces be withdrawn from the Bastar region, the state government has stated that they were attempting back channel negotiations with the help of mediators in the face of crisis.

Cooper Parlor: WTF, Evolution? Designing for Unnatural Selection
Thursday, May 23, 2013 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (PDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
The Topic:
Like it or not, the sixth wave of extinction is upon us. By the end of the century nearly 50% of all species on the planet will be gone. Most will perish simply because they do not have enough time to adapt to rapidly changing environmental conditions. But what if there were gadgets (or services) that would help plants and animals transcend time and make the evolutionary leap? What if there was a Whole Earth Catalog for the non- human among us (eat your heart out, Stewart Brand)?
In this seriously tongue-in-cheek Parlor, Creative Strategist Zak Brazen, of BrazenWorks Design and Ingenuity Lab, will explore design opportunities for the near future, when plants and animals are your clients. Parlor participants will imagine, prototype and design tools, gadgets and services that give plants and animals the resources they need to cope with climate change in real time.
Disruptive? To say the least.
About the Parlor:
Cooper Parlor is a gathering of designers and design-minded people to exchange ideas around a specific topic. We aim to cultivate conversation that instigates, surprises, entertains, and most importantly, broadens our community's collective knowledge and perspective about the potential for design.
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
The Cooper Offices are located 2 blocks from the Montgomery BART station. The building also has it's own parking garage for your car or bike. The entrance to the garage is on the Mission St side of the building right after Anthony St.
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
You can reach us at email@example.com.
What is the refund policy?
We will refund 100% of your payment if you notify us 20 business days before the start of your workshop, or 50% if you notify us 10 business days before. There are no refunds for cancellation fewer than 10 business days before the event begins. By registering for this event, you certify that these financial terms are authorized by the appropriate person in your company.
By enrolling in this workshop, I agree Cooper reserves the right to share, copy, and modify the materials gathered including notes, photos, statements, digital recordings, and representative artifacts in order to share knowledge and in education and business development activities.

Team of Rivals
'Team of Rivals'
I urge everyone to see the movie "Lincoln." Directed by Steven Spielberg it is a historical drama that has valuable insight for us in these divisive times for our country.
The film is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography of Lincoln, "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln." It covers the final four months of Lincoln's life, focusing on Lincoln's efforts in January 1865 to have the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution pass the United States House of Representatives.
Eleven southern states seceded from the United States. The country was ripped apart by a Civil War. In his second inaugural speech Lincoln sought to avoid harsh treatment of the defeated South by reminding his listeners of how wrong both sides had been in imagining what lay before them when the war began four years earlier. Lincoln did not back down from the evil of slavery.
"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan — to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations." — (Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865)
These are Lincoln's words to begin to heal a wounded and divided nation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated.
Lincoln was willing to take on tough issues and work with his rivals to move our great nation forward. Is that too much to ask all our elected leaders to do now? "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." — George Santayana.

How do you solve this quadratic function?
f(x) = −x2 + 10x
All you have done is define f(x).
There is no "solution"
If you had written
f(x) = (any constant),
there would be a solution.
Now, if you want to solve f(x) = 0,
f(x) = -2x(x-5)
so, f=0 when either factor is zero. This is why we always set f(x) = 0 to solve for x, because the only time a product of numbers is zero is when one of them is zero. If we had -2x(x-5) = 12, well, that doesn't help us because there are lots of numbers that multiply to equal 12. But if the product is zero, then one of the factors must be zero.
so, x=0 or x=5 will make f(x) = 0

text: Does anybody know if the alarm arms itself or if the car would disable the ignition if it was broken into while the doors were locked, engine running and no key fob inside? The reason I ask is we will be traveling cross country with a dog and may want to park at a restaurant or two with the engine running so we can leave the a/c on for the dog. I was experimenting and found I was able to take the key fob inside the house with the engine running and doors unlocked, get back in the car without the key fob and drive off. I was even able to shut it off and restart it, with a message showing up on the DIC instructing to press the brake and push button to restart. Not sure how it would behave if the doors were locked and got broken into. So i'm basically just wondering if this would be safe. If not, I won't risk it.

"Life is too short to stuff a mushroom," the writer Shirley Conran declared in the 1970s. Now a new generation of Britons is struggling to find time – or the swashbuckling confidence – to stuff or carve a Christmas turkey.
At the height of the spending splurge on festive food, supermarkets are reporting record sales of deboned joints and pre-stuffed meats such as turkey crowns and even packs of pre-prepared vegetables and trimmings to be wolfed down for Christmas lunch.
Retailers say that although two-thirds of families will cook their Christmas feast from scratch, the rest are opting for shortcuts that will save them time and stress in the kitchen. For thousands of households that means stocking up on everything from ready-made roast potatoes to pigs in blankets and stuffing balls.
Tesco has gone even further to warn that an entire generation is now unable to carve a chicken or simple joint of meat, as the rise of fast foods and decline of the Sunday roast have taken their toll.
Strong sales of deboned poultry and joints of meat throughout the year are set to swell further during the main Christmas food sales period, Tesco predicted. Its seasonal range of easy-to-carve meat and poultry is up by 50% this year, with a 1.5kg Tesco Finest turkey joint with cranberry sauce and stuffing costing £21.
Online supermarket Ocado – whose buyers shamelessly favour premium cuts of meat, including top-of-the-range Kelly turkeys – has reported a fourfold (468%) increase in sales of turkey crowns. The crown is the upper part of the bird (with legs and wings removed) and predominantly white breast meat.
For shoppers, the big advantage of choosing crowns over whole birds is that they are easier to carve and quicker and easier to cook. They are not always cheap, although Iceland sells a frozen turkey crown (2.4kg) for £14 – and fresh crowns which have just gone into other supermarkets for Christmas are quickly selling out.
Tesco meat buyer Ashley Chatterton said: "The glorious ritual of the Sunday roast was not being handed down from parents to children, and as a result the art of skillfully carving around the bone has declined. It's a shame, as there's nothing quite like the anticipation of a good roast and letting the smell of those succulent juices oozing out of the meat fill the kitchen as you carve."
The British Retail Consortium has forecast that Britons will spend £19bn on food and drink over the festive season, but many shoppers are favouring convenience over the risk of food waste.
The key delivery slots for online grocery tomorrow and Christmas Eve have all been snapped up, leaving supermarkets expecting two hectic days ahead of them as shoppers stock up with last-minute essentials. Tesco alone is expecting to sell more than 3m packets of sprouts – enough to fill 9,000 bathtubs – more than 2.5m parsnips and more than 8m bags of potatoes.
Despite the return to "cooking from scratch", due to the tough economic conditions and popularity of TV cooking shows, there is plenty of evidence that at Christmas many want some culinary short cuts to allow them to spend more time with their families.
At Sainsbury's, sales of bags of washed and prepared Brussels sprouts are up by 127% compared with the same time last year. Over the same period, pre-ordered food items ranging from large turkey centrepieces – complete with stuffing and ready-made sauces – to luxurious seafood platters have risen by 30%.
Sainsbury's said that, although two-thirds (66%) of Britons would cook Christmas dinner from scratch, a third (31%) would cut corners and try to claw back some time by using prepared items.
Marks & Spencer is reporting record sales of prepared vegetables, with a luxury vegetable selection its bestselling line of Christmas food to order – sales are up by almost 40% on last year. The selection includes red cabbage, roast potatoes and honey-roast parsnips – all ready for the "cook" to put straight into the oven.
Turkey crowns are the second top-selling item on M&S's food-to-order service, while it is still offering what could be the ultimate in laziness – its "idiot-proof turkey", which it launched six years ago. A spokeswoman said: "We were the first people to sell this – it comes ready in a bag and stuffed, and in an oven dish – you don't even have to touch the turkey! It flew off the shelves and we've done one ever since."
Other retailers, including Waitrose and Morrisons, have meanwhile reported a surge in the popularity of whole fish as a Christmas centrepiece.
Harrods meat buyer Scott Winston said: "There is no doubt that 'convenient Christmas' has become incredibly popular. However, the Harrods customer still values a traditional product, choosing whole turkeys, ribs of beef and whole fish over pre-prepared [items]."

Comments about Christian Siriano for Payless Women's Poetee Crossbody:
I've had this bag for almost a year now, and I love it. I love all the little compartments, I can carry everything I need with room to spare. I do take my cards and ID out of my wallet because my wallet is very large, but it has slots for cards and ID in between the two zippered compartments. You will be surprised (like I was) when you get it and see how much space there is! The strap is a little long, but its a great bag, and has held up well over time.

Comments about Christian Siriano for Payless Women's Poetee Crossbody:
I came back to write a stunning review for the black, which I received last week, and now I see the tan! Heaven!
I am thrilled to see Christian Seriano designing for me at Payless, at these great, low, prices, but I would also like to keep it a secret :) Now you know, too, and I do want to share just how great these little bags are.
Tons of room for everything I need during the day. I thought there would be just the two zipper comportments you can see, but they pop apart to reveal a good-sized center compartment - closed by two firm snaps, plus the flap with its firm magnet; enclosed by accordion cloth at the sides. I wouldn't want to keep my wallet in there, but there is room for it. You just can't go wrong with this bag. It looks quality and style.
They might have fixed the problem referred to about the zipper, because mine are great - big, solid, and work just right. For security, you could even clip them to the strap, with your clip, to the ring on the pull.
The only thing I have a little trouble with is that the crossbody strap is a little long for me at 5'4". The knot I put at the top would freak Christian out, so I might work out something else, like sewing.

text: So, i got two codes on my truck, one is a P0131, which is O2 Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 1). And the second code is what really concerns me. P0300 Random Misfire. I'm very concerned about that one. What can i do to try and solve these? I just installed long tube headers on my truck, and one the o2 sensors i needed to cut them and extend the length of the wires. And i thought, there was only three wires when i cut them, a white one, blue one, and a black one. Well it turns out there's 2 black wires. And i don't know which is what. So, its a possibility that i hooked two wires up incorrectly on the o2 sensors. I had a 50/50 chance, so i thought i would get lucky. Would having the o2 sensor hooked up incorrectly cause the random misfire? Or is that a spark plug/wire issue? Right now, my truck feels really gutless, and is burning a LOT of fuel, so i'm assuming either one, if not both of the front o2 sensors are hooked up wrong.

Florida Womens' Tennis Wins 5th National Title In Dramatic Fashion
Florida's womens' tennis team got revenge in a most-fitting fashion, beating Stanford 4-3 in the National Championship match on Tuesday, one year after the Cardinal won the national championship by the same score. Sophomore Lauren Embree won the deciding match 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6) in the third set tiebreaker, marking the closest possible outcome in collegiate tennis. The Gators won the doubles point, but fell behind 3-1 as the Cardinal took the first three singles matches off the court. But the Gators won the three remaining matches, and earned the program's 5th national championship in the process-the first since 2003.
In the process, the Gators ended Stanford's streak of consecutive home wins at 184, a streak dating back to 1999. Florida is now 3-5 all time in championship matches against Stanford.

Microstructural magnetic resonance imaging of articular cartilage
Momot, Konstantin I. (2012) Microstructural magnetic resonance imaging of articular cartilage. Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging, 1 (1), pp. 27-37.
Accepted Version
(PDF 433kB)
The focus of this Editorial is recent developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities for evaluation of the microstructure and macromolecular organisation of articular cartilage. We place a specific emphasis on three types of measurements:
(1) MRI transverse spin-relaxation mapping (T2 mapping); (2) diffusion-tensor imaging; and (3) compression micro-MRI (uMRI) measurements of articular cartilage in vitro.
Such studies have a significant role to play in improving the understanding of the fundamental biomechanics of articular cartilage and in the development of in vitro models of early osteoarthritis. We discuss how the supramolecular organisation of the cartilage extracellular matrix and its behaviour under mechanical compression can be inferred from diffusion-tensor and T2 maps with in-plane resolution ~100 um. The emphasis is on in vitro studies performed under controlled physiological conditions but in vivo applications of T2 mapping and DTI are also briefly discussed.

BRITAIN WILL SEND NEW NOTE ON DEBT; Further Arguments to Be Made Today to Justify Appeal for Postponing Payment. BRITAIN WILL SEND NEW NOTE ON DEBT
By CHARLES A. SELDEN.By Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES. ();
November 24, 1932,
, Section , Page 1, Column , words
LONDON, Nov. 23. -- President Hoover's statement today that debtor States had not presented facts that would justify America's postponement of debt payments due in December is not regarded by the British Government as absolutely the last word in the matter or as irrevocably closing the door against further Anglo-American discussion of the advisability of postponement.

I am setting up ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso on my machine using Microsoft Virtual PC 6.0156.0.
I have to use ubuntu alternate for my install iso because I only have 256mb of memory on my 1.2 Ghz Thinkpad T-23 laptop.
The alternate uses a text based install so I don't know how to set the "Safe Video" mode during the install to get proper video (I requested 800x600 but that was not good enough). I have instructions for configuring the kernel for safe video but I need to get to console mode login without a splash screen so I can edit the kernel configuration.
The instructions I found here on howtogeek to set ubuntu not to show the splash screen indicate I should edit a file. But how can I edit a file when I am installing ubuntu into the VM from an ISO image?
So I need to know which files to edit, how to get to them from my iso image and then end up with an iso image which will install into the MS VM and run in safe video mode.
Any clues?
Thanks for the help.

UF Students Will Vote on Potential Name Change for the Reitz Union
GAINESVILLE - Election week is just around the corner for students at the University of Florida, as well as their chance to influence a refernedum.
The J. Wayne Reitz Student Union has been part of the University of Florida landscape for 45years, this year, students are questioning the namesake of the former University President behind the building.
UF Vice President Affairs says, that Student Senator, Ford Dywer, "came out and put a petition, through our Supreme Court and got the right amount of signatures to get the referendum on the ballot, the question is changing the Reitz Student Union to the Virgil Hawkins Student Union."
Virgil Hawkins was denied admission to UF law school and fought 9 years until the Supreme Court integrated the College.
The referendum is nonbinding and will appear on the October 2nd and 3rd student election ballot.

Fantastic Voyage!: Golden Princess Cruise Review by behoppy2
Overall Member Rating
Fantastic Voyage!
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
The food was great, with a good variety and always tasted good. I loved the coffee and since we were on the Lido deck, we could run right down in the a.m. and grab a cup of coffee, pastries, etc. from the buffet and take it back to our room. Same with the good pizza or hamburgers from the Trident Grill. There was always someone standing at the entrance to the buffet line to make sure hands were sanitized. Children under 12 should not be allowed into the buffet food area, as they are the biggest carriers of germs.
Our cruise had a variety of ages for cruising--from young children, all the way up to 80's+, with many couples around our age group (early 60's).
My one complaint about the ports is that there are too many cruise ships docked at one time in the tiny towns, so the shopping and sight-seeing was not pleasant with elbow-to-elbow people. The cruise lines need to figure out a way to stagger the times/days when the cruise ships stop. One of our ports had four cruise ships docked at once! Figure at least 2,000 passengers per ship and that is A LOT of people trying to see and do in a short amount of time. Plus, there is not enough time to do all one would like to do. I hate to be rushed! We opted to stay on ship at Victoria because we had been there before and can go there again on our bi-annual trips to Washington.
It is less expensive to book the shore excursions on line or directly with the tour. We saved about $50.00 apiece by booking the White Pass Train ride ourselves.
For the most part, we truly enjoyed our whole Alaskan Cruise with the weather cooperating, even in Ketchikan and Glacier Bay--it was partly cloudy with temps around the high 60's, low 70's (except Glacier Bay), which was probably in the mid 40's.
We probably wouldn't go on another Alaskan Cruise, only because we want to drive up sometime and really explore the interior. This cruise gave us a taste and an opportunity to see the Inside Passage and the breathtaking scenery
without having to spend too much time or expense.
It was a wonderful experience. Thank you, Princess! Less

2009 Benelli X50
Overall, it is a unique, powerful 50cc bike that will stand out in a crowd, and is worth the money
The front brake squeaks, and I believe it is because I had it tightened a little too much.
So far this bike appears to be built tough.
General Comments:
This scooter is a beast! It is seriously fast for a 50cc. The scoot easily reaches 47 mph on a flat, and with low wind can hit 50 mph. Had it up to 55 mph on a downhill ride. It actually feels more stable at high speeds.
The X50 handles great and feels very firm and tight. Handling is responsive and it corners very well.
I rode several other scooters, including the Buddy Italia 50cc and the Flyscooters Il Bello 150cc, and decided on the X50.
The green paint scheme is my preferred color. I bought a Scorpion Exo-700 Raider Green helmet to match. Since it is a discontinued color (the helmet) it was a little hard to find, but well worth it! Who doesn't want to match?
The ground clearance is high and it handles curbs with ease. I park it on the sidewalk, and frequently need to go up and down curbs.
My biggest disappointment with the X50 is that it does not have a sissy bar or rear rack to mount a trunk. I knew this going in, but I am the type of person who wants a trunk, and will have to fabricate something if I want a trunk.
The seat height is high and I hear a lot of people complain about this. I actually like the way it feels and I am 5' 9''. If you are new to scooters/motorcycles, then it may be high for you, but if you are comfortable on a bike then you may actually prefer it. The Benelli feels more substantial that a typical scooter. The seat heights also makes me feel better on the road because I have a little better vision from the higher seat height.
Power on hills is good. I can keep it at 35 mph on an incline and I weigh 155 lbs.
Storage is good and the below the seat storage can hold a full face helmet (my helmet is a Medium). Helmet needs to be upside down though to fit.
MSRP is $2,495, but I got it for $2,250. Little pricier than other models, but I definitely feel like I got a better quality bike in return.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Senators advance California gun-control measures
SACRAMENTO ? State lawmakers moved forward Tuesday on a package of bills designed to again give California what Senate leader Darrell Steinberg called "the most comprehensive gun legislation in the nation."
The Senate Public Safety Committee approved what backers called the Lifesaving Intelligent Firearms Enforcement, or LIFE, Act, an array of eight bills designed to expand the state's assault weapons ban, require that ammunition purchases include a background check, ban the possession of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition and broaden the number of criminal offenses that would trigger a prohibition on gun ownership.
The action followed a long day of impassioned and emotional testimony that included a parade of gun-rights advocates, police chiefs, physicians, parents who lost children to gun violence, mothers moved to activism by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, firearms retailers, and a rural sheriff who vowed he would not enforce laws that he believed violated the Second Amendment.
Perhaps the most controversial of the measures is Steinberg's Senate Bill 374, which seeks to ban the future sale of semi-automatic weapons capable of accepting detachable ammunition magazines. In addition, those who already own such weapons would be required to register them with the state Department of Justice.
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said the measure would end a cat-and-mouse contest between gun manufacturers and state regulations that have forced lawmakers to continually try to keep California's assault weapons ban up to date with technological changes designed to subvert it.
"The laws have loopholes and gaps that the gun manufacturers have exploited," he said.
By banning guns that can accept detachable magazines, Steinberg said, the proposed state law would make it impossible for gun makers to come up with new ways to enable weapons to fire dozens of shots in rapid succession.
The problem with casting such a broad net in defining assault weapons, gun advocates argued, is that it would outlaw many of the most popular firearms now owned by hunters, hobbyists and those who keep guns for self-protection.
Saying the measure would effectively ban all semi-automatic weapons, Ed Worley of the National Rife Association called it "probably the worst bill I've ever seen."
In addition to SB 374, other components of the package are:
* SB 47 by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco: It would expand the definition of prohibited assault weapons to include those that are affixed with an ammunition device, commonly known as a "bullet button," that allows for rapid detachment of a spent magazine to accommodate rapid reloading.
* SB 53 by Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles: It would require anyone purchasing ammunition to first purchase a permit and pass a background check.
* SB 140 by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco: It would provide additional funding to the Department of Justice to eliminate a backlog of nearly 40,000 guns that are now illegally in the possession of individuals prohibited by law from owning firearms, including felons and those who have been adjudged to be mentally ill.
* SB 396 by Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley: It would ban the possession of large-capacity magazines that contain more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
* SB 567 by Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara: It would expand the definition of assault weapons to include a new design of shotgun that has a rifled bore and a revolving cylinder.
* SB 683 by Sen. Marty Block, D-San Francisco: It would expand the current requirement for a handgun safety certificate to apply to the purchases of all new firearms, including rifles.
* SB 755 by Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis: It would broaden the list of crimes that would result in a 10-year prohibition on the possession of a firearm. Among the new crimes would be multiple convictions for certain drug- or alcohol-related offenses and the threatening of a police officer.
Seven of the measures were approved by the committee Tuesday on party-line votes, with majority Democrats in support. The bill to provide funding to eliminate the backlog in the state's Armed Prohibited Persons System previously was approved by the Senate on a bipartisan vote and awaits action in the Assembly.
The SAFE Act was the subject of a vigorous grass-roots campaign to spur public support for additional gun regulations in California.
Rick Jacobs, chairman of the liberal online organizing group the Courage Campaign, delivered petitions signed by more than 31,000 California in support of the measures.
"We have to show people that our Legislature, our state, is acting while those in Washington are watching," Jacobs said.
Citing recent polls that show more than 60 percent of Californians support additional regulations on gun ownership, Jacobs called opponents "the noisy minority."
Both sides made a lot of noise during a committee hearing that began at 10 a.m. and continued well into the evening.
Among the witnesses in support was Paulette Duran of Oakland, who showed senators a photo of her teenage son, shot to death six years ago by 30 rounds of bullets.
"This is my boy, and I love him," she said. "I miss him. I need something done about this."
Among those opposed to the bills was Del Norte County Sheriff Dean Wilson, who argued that the proposed regulations would violated the Second Amendments rights of Californians.
"As their sheriff, these types of laws I will not enforce," he said.

Just shake your head,and be thankful your pistol is finally running as it should have,in the first place!
This is a discussion on Walther PPS 40 Repair Summary....confused!!!! within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hello All, I had a very odd experience with Walther Repair and wanted to know if anyone else had seen this sort of thing with ...
Hello All,
I had a very odd experience with Walther Repair and wanted to know if anyone else had seen this sort of thing with any other repair or manufacturer.
My PPS (bought brand new) suffered a catastrophic failure at round count 66 when the extractor and all the springs for the extractor decided to part ways with the gun ..just all fell out. Needless to say it went back for repair; with very fast turnaround I got it back with a non-descript letter saying it was repaired but not what they did.
I went back to the range, fired 43 rounds of mixed new ammo and it started given me extractor issues many FTEs, first about 3 per 6 round mag and then it would only feed one at a time .so it went back again. I enclosed a letter asking them to call me prior to return and really prior to repair as I wanted another gun since this will be my new EDC. They never called, I even tried calling and got no response. They just returned it to me stating that 2 techs ran it and could not replicate the problem. They claimed they used Win whit box ammo and ran multiple magazines through with no issues. The letter was a canned letter, not even reprinted, just copied, you could tell it had been copied many times. I seriously questioned whether that is what happened. My first thought was that they repaired it and didnt want this repair to count towards the repairs. I know this is a serious accusation but there is no way it was fine after what I experienced at the range with multiple brands of new ammo. When I called (after getting it back) to get some more details they said all I can tell you is it was tested and ran fine, maybe you had a bad grip and I limp-wristed it. I responded that anything is possible but I doubt it as I have been shooting for over 20 years with many types of guns and never had an issue before, and not even with this gun prior to the first return.
So, I went to the range twice this week ran the following to see if it was really ok:
50 rounds of Win white box, 165 gr FMJ, 50 rounds of Federal 180 FMJ, 50 rounds Blazer Brass 180 FMJ and another 50 of Win .200 total, no FTEs or anything else, flawless.
So in the end I am happy and trust the gun .I am not sure I trust or believe Walthers repair department though. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Just shake your head,and be thankful your pistol is finally running as it should have,in the first place!
My guess.
As soon as it came in somebody stripped and cleaned the slide including the extractor area.
Your problem was probably gunk under the extractor binding it up.
It may not have even been the test firing techs that cleaned it.
The letter may have been technically correct.
"I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy!" - Dorothy Parker
It may have had some gunk under the extractor from the previous repairs.
Mehhh... if it works now I wouldn't worry about it.
My Kahr P380 was returned to me with zero explanation, it works now so I don't really care what they did to it.

BattleFriends in Tanks ReviewChris Urie August 21, 2013 @ 1:23 PM
Words with friends was a huge hit and influenced a whole host of iOS games. Asynchronous puzzle games where you got to challenge your friends became a dime a dozen, and tons of developers tried to copy the formula. Some of the resulting games were great, while others sank deep into the mud of cheap cash grabs. BattleFriends in Tanks sounds like a more action packed take on the formula. Let's have a look and see if it will blow you away.

Warner Bros. just unveiled a new TV spot for Zack Snyder's June 14 Superman pic. Henry Cavill stars as the Kryptonian superhero, glimpsed here in action with Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Michael Shannon as Zod:
Hot TV Spot: 'Man Of Steel'
7 Comments
I gotta say, I'm not a Zach Snyder fan. However, this trailer looks pretty darn good.
Hans Zimmer is a genius. The soundtrack rocks.
Henry Cavill is the dreamiest of the newest superheros. I'd watch him read the phonebook.
Henry Cavill is pretty, but he is a mediocre actor.
The magic of these "Man of Steel" trailers and spots is entirely in the music, which isn't simply grand and cinematic, but also has some emotional gravitas.
Cut the very same trailer to the original John Williams score and I don't think anyone would be talking about this movie at all.
Whatever they paid Zimmer, it ain't enough. Because the man may have just saved Zach Snyder's career and the studio's summer.
Talk about a superhero.
Zimmer did make the last couple trailers alot more exciting. I believe it sat really well with fans and haters of the new look to MAN OF STEEL that it will Unite them to watch it. I think what also saved Zack Snyder is Nolan/Goyer sheperding the movie to go with Zack Snyder's eye for great visual affect, minus the cartoonish crap that we see in Watchmen, Suckerpunch, and 300. This will definitely bring Zack Snyder honor again lol.
Several minutes of the soundtrack were released about a week ago online…sadly, nothing I heard was even close to as original and engaging as the music in this trailer.
I agree with your comments, but based on what I heard on the OST, Zimmer uses all of the obvious scoring tropes and then some in MoS. Hopefully, it was just bad cherry-picking of samples, but what I heard was pretty awful. (I'm otherwise a fan of Zimmer's work — more or less — and was very impressed with 2 of 3 of his Batman OSTs.)

Belmont Stakes: Lukas enjoying his success at 77
ELMONT, N.Y. – Back when he was riding high, ruling the racing landscape with a far-flung operation that regularly knocked off major races, took down Eclipse Awards, and courted controversy by taking shots in races where his horses looked overmatched, there was an undercurrent of defensiveness to trainer D. Wayne Lukas, at times seething bitterness that seeped out from the façade of crisp suits, immaculate shed rows, and a million-dollar smile.
There was one morning at Churchill Downs, the week of the Kentucky Derby nearly 25 years ago, when Lukas was playing host to basketball coach Bobby Knight, a lightning rod in his own right at the time. Lukas had a barn full of the best runners in the land, a stakes winner poking its head out of seemingly every stall. Lukas, before a large gathering of media, swept his hand down the shed row in a grand gesture.
"These," he said to Knight, while playing to the crowd, "are the horses." Lukas then waved his hand back toward the assemblage of reporters. "And these are the horses's asses."
One had to wonder back then if − when business started to turn, as it will in racing − Lukas would grow embittered, turn into the mean old man down the street who yells at kids to get off his lawn.
He hasn't turned out that way. Now 77, Lukas is far from the days when he had multiple stables at the biggest outposts, but he has aged well, not just physically – you'd never guess he's that old – but emotionally. He's become more like a favorite uncle who comes over on the holidays and leaves everybody smiling.
At the Preakness Stakes a little more than two weeks ago, Lukas had everyone rolling at the traditional Alibi Breakfast, where trainers are asked questions about their horses for the assembled media. Lukas took the microphone from the master of ceremonies and proceeded to tell a ribald joke with pitch-perfect timing, hitting the punchline like a seasoned comic. He looks, and acts, happy.
"I'm content," Lukas said at Belmont Park on Tuesday morning as he grazed Oxbow, who is set to run Saturday in the 145th Belmont Stakes. "When I was younger, I'd look around and want to beat the other guy, day-in and day-out. When you get where I am now, you're content. If you don't win, you just get an ice cream sundae."
Make no mistakes, though − the one thing that hasn't changed is Lukas's desire to be in, and win, major races. Three weeks ago, he reached yet another pinnacle in his Hall of Fame career when Oxbow won the Preakness, giving Lukas his record 14th victory in a Triple Crown race, breaking a tie with the legendary "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons.
He'll try to add to that total in the Belmont, in which Lukas is set to send out Oxbow and Will Take Charge, both of whom will have competed in all three legs of the Triple Crown. The race also is scheduled to include five horses trained by Todd Pletcher, and one each for Dallas Stewart and Kiaran McLaughlin, all of whom worked for Lukas before going out on their own. All told, nine of the Belmont runners have connections to Lukas.
[BELMONT STAKES: Probable field and latest updates]
"Dallas, Kiaran, Todd – they're all graduates of Lukas University," Lukas said. "They're outstanding individuals. They were wonderful people to start with, but I think they learned a lot from us from an organizational standpoint, the discipline."
Pletcher said there's "a certain camaraderie between the group of us that worked with Wayne."
"We became lifelong friends because of that experience," he said.
Pletcher even was organizing a dinner at his home for Lukas University graduates for Wednesday night.
"They like to tell stories of things they did then that I didn't know about," Lukas said.
Little misses his eye. Lukas is still one of the first through the stable gates every morning, and he still rides out each set on his pony, the lone concession to age being that he uses a stepstool to help ease his way into the saddle. Lukas says when people ask him when he's going to retire, he says he is retired, just instead of playing golf, he rides horses.
"I get to ride out each morning on a day like this," Lukas said on a gorgeous, crisp morning at Belmont Park, "and watch the horses go around. On race days, I get to have a great lunch in the turf club, then go out for a great dinner. How can you beat it?"
He jokes that he'll continue working until the day he topples off his horse, "they harrow me into the racing surface, and that will be that." Though blessed with good health, Lukas is well aware of the advancing years "when I see guys my age not doing that well."
"That's kind of a wake-up call," he said.
It has been more than three decades now since Lukas first burst on the Thoroughbred scene in Southern California after great success with Quarter Horses. He was well aware of the resentment there was among trainers to his meteoric rise.
"There was a lot of jealousy, but three guys were great – Laz Barrera, Charlie Whittingham, and Bob Wheeler," Lukas recalled. "Those three guys were at the end of their careers, and they were totally comfortable. There was no insecurity. I can now see where that was coming from. I appreciate that now."
Lukas long has been able to cultivate well-heeled clients, from Gene Klein to Bob Lewis to W.T. Young – for whom he won Kentucky Derbies – and he's now got Brad Kelley of Calumet Farm, the owner of Oxbow, in his corner. Though Kelley keeps a lower profile than a deep-cover CIA agent, Lukas says they speak at length each day and that Kelley is integrally involved in the planning of the stable's fortunes.
"The future looks really well," Lukas said.
Lukas also has a new girlfriend, Laurie Krause, a world-renowned horse-show judge from Colorado whom Lukas met through friends.
"She's really starting to enjoy the racing business," Lukas said. "She's enjoying the competition. There were 140,000 people on their feet at the Derby. It's not like that at a horse show.
"That's what I like about racing," he said. "There's no judge. You don't have to care what anyone says. It gets decided on the racetrack."

In a different article, DWL said he was going to send out a better horse that went into the Preakness. Many of you think he is talking about Oxbow. Oh no, he reffered in that comment about Will take Charge but nobody picked it up. Another old man jock this Saturday wins the Belmont showing that his stuff on horseback is still good enough to show the young guns , Well , that age is just a number .....
I first started getting my feet wet choosing horse in Triple Crown races in 1994. It was a huge decade for me. Between Gary Stevens', D. Wayne Lukas' & Bob Baffert's Triple Crown entries, I experienced & enjoyed a pretty magical decade. I didn't realize at the time that D. Wayne Lukas was a pretty fabulous trainer, I just picked horses I liked, many of whom were being trained by Mr. Lukas. Now that I'm a little older and wiser, I totally appreciate the talent of Mr. Lukas, not to mention being grateful to have seen & supported so many fabulous horses that were in his care. All names that figure prominently in my memory and great experiences in my life - Thunder Gulch, Winning Colors, Charismatic, Grindstone, etc.. Thank you, Mr. Lukas. It's great to see you center stage once again in the Triple Crown races with your scrappy colt, Oxbow. Plus, I like seeing a sharp-dressed trainer. You have style, whether in a well-made suit in the Winner's Circle, or on a horse wearing great cowboy leathers surveying your charges. It's also nice to see you're smiling & enjoying the ride much more this time around. Congratulations, long-time fans are happy to see your TC rebirth.
I have to respect still getting it done . go dwl.
No doubt about it, Wayne Lukas is good for racing. His record speaks for itself, and the succcesful trainers who have worked for Lukas, echo the same story. Great trainer, and indivdual. Keep em coming, Mr.Lukas.
I asked him one time what was the secret to his debonair appearance all these years..and he laughed and said..."I don't drink, I don't smoke....(pause).....i chase a little," and those around laughed...then another reporter chimed in "You got to have one vice."
Nice LEAD Privman !!!!!
When I first started following racing & going to Keeneland, Wayne's horses were head & shoulders above everyone else in the paddock. Such pride in the way they looked spoke volumns about how he went about his business. Good Luck Saturday and may he indeed topple off the horse some day and go out doing what he loved most.
I remember when I first started going to the races, one of the first horse I saw run was Landeluce ! She was just a total freak. I think she won the Hollywood Starlet by 20 open lengths and from there, it was the sky was the limit with her. EVERYONE was excited by her and her future. Sadly, she got ill and died suddenly, and like many others I sent D Wayne a condolence card, it was just so sad . Amazingly, he responded with a signed photo of Landeluce and a short note ! Class guy, 110%
Mr. Lukas, may your health continue to be good, your passion for the next race coniue your love of this wonderful sport. I remember when we always looked at any horse you shipped as "D. Wayne off the plane". Remarkable angle for a bettor, more importantly, you established racing at a elite national level. The industry owes you a huge debt of gratitude.
I was fortunate enough to be there in 1987 when Bobby Knight was there at the barn and watched first hand how Wayne worked the media. I was a groom at that time lucky enough to work around Randy Bradshaw, Dallas Stewart, and Wayne's son Jeff. We ran 10th, 12th, and last that year with On The Line, War, and Capote but the very next year was Winning Colors. Wayne is the best and always has been, some say he is just a promoter and they are right there is no one better but hard work and orgainized are true as well. Try to beat him to the barn of a morning, very few have.

As the excitement of selecting the quarterback of the future Ryan Tannehill wears off, the Miami Dolphins must now prepare to continue to fill the needs of this football team in rounds two and three. The Dolphins have plenty of options as they look to add impact players at positions of need moving forward, and here are just some of the names that might be called in day two!
For Joe Philbin's West Coast offense to reach its potential, the Dolphins will need to rethink the way they have evaluated offensive lineman.
In years past, they preferred hulking offensive linemen who could set the tone for a power rushing attack. But now, with the emphasis shifting to the passing game, the Dolphins will move to a zone blocking scheme.
As Sun-Sentinel's Omar Kelly points out, the Dolphins will need to look at a completely different breed of lineman now.

Une fois dans le parc, nous avons pris la dite navette pour se rendre a quelques sentiers de randonnees, soit la Riverside Walk, la randonnee (la plus populaire et la plus achanlandee du parc) une marche tres facile longeant la Virgin River, qui ressemble ces temps-ci davantage a un
On peut maintenant dire qu'on a visite tous les parcs nationaux de l'Utah! Et ceux de l'Etat de Washington et de l'Etat du Wyoming aussi! Comme il y a 58 parcs nationaux, il nous en reste encore beaucoup a faire! Depart vers Denver demain, 11 heures de route :(
After experiencing the Glen Canyon area we discussed where to go to next on our outdoor adventure
Zion was a different landscape than we have encountered earlier. It was full of stacked sandstone sediment and large imposing cliffs. It was probably the busiest park I have been to since Disneyworld. Another resemblance to Disney was that you had to ride a shuttle to get to your destination, whether it be rock slides, pools or the "river". I didn't realize that a bathing suit was mandated when entering the park, but it seemed like it was enjoyed as a giant water park for most families.
We first walked along the Virgin River that was described as a torrential beast of a river powerful enough to carve out Zion canyon. Kind of surprising considering it was about 3 inches deep and 8 feet wide with 2 year olds playing in the water. We then headed to Weeping Rock (aka "the big wet rock"). Seeing a wet rock was not the most exciting thing I have ever experienced but it offered a beautiful view of the canyon. We then walked along the river and headed to Watchman's Trail. For this one we were back in the desert and we again had beautiful views of the cliffs along the hike, but the overlook was of the parking lot. To end the day we went to the Canyon Overlook trail and saw the amazing cones and spires formed from the stacked sandstone layers along the hike to then see the park road from the overlook. All in all it was a great side trip before our long journey to Denver tomorrow
