Date of Stay: October, 2010
We took the kids camping for the weekend. I am glad we made reservations since there were only a couple of spots left when we checked in. It's a beautiful park with lots of trails. We had a nice hike through the woods. The kids loved it! The fire pits and picnic tables are nice. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
Turquoise Trail is a beautiful place to stay! The sites are a little close together, but it is clean and peaceful. The staff is friendly and helpful. The road into the park is a little rough, so please drive slowly. We would stay again!
Date of Stay: September, 2010
This was our first family camping trip: over Labor Day weekend. We had a great time at Doctors Creek Unit! This park is clean and well-maintained. The sites are spaced well. The kids had a blast playing in the lake and on the playground. The restrooms are clean and showers have hot water. We will be back again!
Date of Stay: April, 2010
We enjoyed our stay at Lake Conroe KOA. The staff is very helpful and friendly, the spots are clean, the park is spacious, and the dogs really enjoyed the dog runs! My only complaint is the lack of shade, which could be an issue when the temperatures rise.

President Obama delivered his fifth State of the Union address on Tuesday, making pledges on minimum wage and health care, among others.
Here are some key points from the address:
President Barack Obama didn't say the K-word.
No mention of Keystone XL – the controversial and long-delayed pipeline that would unlock Alberta's vast carbon-laden oil sands which have been targeted by environmental activists as the world's dirtiest oil. Frustrated Canadians, including foreign Minister John Baird who implored the Obama administration for a decision – any decision, even the wrong one – rather than more delay earlier this month, will have to keep waiting. Aside perhaps from a few Canadians, no one expected Mr. Obama to announce anything about the pipeline in the speech. He didn't even say "Keystone" which may place its importance in perspective. Climate change activists heard only another vague promise. "When our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did," the President said.
$10.10 is the new minimum for some
Why $10.10? Because that's the minimum hourly wage on which a full-time worker could support a family of three and clear – just – the poverty line. Mr. Obama, who was ignored by Congress last year when he pitched for a nation-wide $9-hour minimum wage, set the level for federal contract workers – the gardeners and cleaners and cafeteria staff – who work for private companies at $10.10 an hour. It will boost incomes for hundreds of thousands. But it's mainly designed to goad Congress into action. "Say yes. Give America a raise," urged the President.
New agenda, old items
On his watch, Mr. Obama has turned missile-firing drones into the weapon of choice as the U.S. hunts those whom the President has approved for elimination – even some American citizens. Last night, Mr. Obama said he wanted to put new, unspecified limits on the targeted assassinations by drones over foreign countries. Meanwhile, the President, stung by revelations that U.S. spy agencies – also on his watch – have been Hoovering up masses of data, including every phone call along with hacking mobile apps to mine more information, said he wanted to restore public confidence so "that the privacy of ordinary people is not being violated." And the President who vowed to close Guantanamo Bay within a year of taking office says he still wants to do it.
Former president George W. Bush tried and failed to persuade a recalcitrant Congress to reform America's immigration system and bring the estimated 10 to15 million illegal aliens out of the shadows with some sort of decent and humane route to lawful residency. Mr. Obama renewed the push in his speech just as he did last year. Only this time, with mid-term elections looming and the Republican Party desperately in need of votes among Hispanics, it might happen.
Health care
The U.S. has a "broken health-care system," the President admitted, adding: "And in case you haven't heard, we're in the process of fixing that." Mr. Obama said more than nine million people have signed up for the new scheme, dubbed Obamacare. He intends to provide close to universal health care by fining anyone who refuses to buy coverage and subsidizing the poor to help them pay. Stay tuned as the mid-term elections loom and Republicans take aim.
Heartfelt ovation
State of the Union speeches inevitably feature dozens of applause lines that predictably produce waves of clapping from a president's party faithful and stony silence from his opponents. But there was nothing staged about the standing ovation for Army Ranger Sergeant Cory Remsburg, who spent months in a coma after a roadside bomb nearly killed him in Afghanistan. Partially paralyzed, blind in one eye, the veteran sat next to First Lady Michelle Obama during the address. Mr. Obama lauded the wounded warrior as someone who "does not quit," prompting the emotional outpouring of the night.
Where credit is due
Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose arm-twisting was crucial on securing Syria's agreement, may be surprised to know that "American diplomacy, backed by the threat of force, is why Syria's chemical weapons are being eliminated." Mr. Obama also touted the deal with Iran, urging hawks in Congress to give diplomacy a chance. It could, said the President, end the risk of war with Iran.
Moving forward
"America does not stand still, and neither will I," said the President who heads out of frigid Washington on Wednesday for a two-day, four-state road trip to sell his call for action. Stops in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Tennessee will give Mr. Obama a chance to reprise his message from the hour-long, State of the Union speech.

Hans + Sherly Prewedding
Shot by Lisa
Hans and Sherly was my first-ever client. How does it feel to start something new? To be honest, my heart skipped a beat. Well, in this case it skipped a lot. However, the bright side of things is
I have prepared and organized everything. The poses, outfits, props.
I even got the pose ideas (sketches on a piece of paper) in my pocket during the photo shoot time.
But, I know for sure, the ONE up there care a lot about me.
Because the weather was great, Hans and Sherly was very nice, and the photo-session went so well.
I felt so blessed. Thank you Hans and Sherly. Thank you for believing.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
It's not by accident that the Patriots and Ravens are facing off in the AFC Championship this weekend. They were clearly the two best teams in the conference and have been on a collision course for about a month now. Once the season gets down to the final four, I find the ongoing discussion of what's going to happen Sunday to be…well, boring. In the end most of these games come down to a couple of plays or a turnover or two. It usually decided by the best players, making their best plays in the biggest moments. So, I admit it when I hear ongoing discussion on the matchups or the slot receivers or the Z slot, I just zone out.
What does interest me about this matchup are the teams themselves and how they got to this point. In New England, we are pretty familiar with the story of Bill Belichick. Belichick resigned exactly one minute after he was about to be named head coach of the New York Jets. He returned to New England where he was once an assistant under Bill Parcells and after a tumultuous first 20 games, he got the Patriots on track with the help of certain quarterback and the rest is history.
In this matchup, what happened in the past is the prologue to the story. A long time ago, on a team far away, Bill Belichick was head coach of the Cleveland Browns and Ozzie Newsome, former Hall of Fame tight end and current GM & Vice-President of the Ravens, was a personnel director working with Belichick.
"I came through as a player," Newsome said, as reported by the Carroll County Times via the Boston Herald. "I spent time on the road, but for the most part, I've been in locker rooms and I've been at practice. I was taught, by Bill Belichick, at a very early age that scouting begins on Sunday. You need to know your football team. The only way you get to know your football team is you've got to be able to watch them at practice, I watch the practice tape, so that's why I do that. That's my niche. But the only way I can do it, I have to trust (director of player personnel) Eric (DeCosta) and (director of college scouting) Joe (Hortiz) and the scouts and their ability to go out and do their job."
There was not a lot of crossover between the two. Belchick was gone after the turbulent 1995 Browns season, their last before they relocated to Baltimore. Ozzie Newsome followed the team to Baltimore, where owner Art Modell made him Vice President of Player Personnel.
Newsome's reputation as a talent evaluator is probably the strongest in the league. He was the architect of the 2000 Super Bowl team, which included two Hall of Famers in Jonathan Ogden (4th overall) and Ray Lewis (26th), that were taken in Newsome's first draft with the Ravens. The most impressive statistic of Newsome's tenure with the Ravens is that in 16 years from (1996-2010) he has selected 16 players in the first round who have played in 46 Pro Bowls.
The Ravens like the Patriots have had to retool and swap out personnel during the past decade. Ogden is retired, as are such greats as Peter Boulware, Mike McCrary, Chris McCalister, Rod Woodson and Shannon Sharpe. The only leftover from that Ravens Super Bowl team is one of the biggest obstacles for the Patriots this weekend. Ray Lewis is the best linebacker of his time and a player that has been the cornerstone of the Ravens franchise for sixteen years.
As the Patriot championship run was dialing down, the Baltimore Ravens were bottoming out. They missed the playoffs in 2004 and 2005, but rebounded with a strong 13-3 finish and number two playoff seed in 2006 with Steve McNair at quarterback. But then age, injuries, and a lack of talent on the offensive side of the ball led to a 5-11 season in 2007. It would be head coach Brian Billick's last season with the Ravens as he was fired at the end of the year. Newsome had a difficult decision on his hands; many of the Ravens defensive players were hoping that Rex Ryan, then the defensive coordinator, would be elevated to head coach.
Newsome went in a different direction, hiring a lesser known coach who wasn't even a coordinator in the NFL, but had a stellar reputation and a football pedigree. John Harbaugh is the son of Jack Harbaugh, who coached 41 years at Western Kentucky in Division 1-AA. His brother Jim, now famously know as the coach of the San Francisco 49ers and prior to that the Stanford Cardinals was the better known brother. Jim, like Tom Brady, was a star quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines and played 14 years in the NFL, including an AFC Championship game appearance with the Colts before beginning a second career in coaching. Despite being a dark horse candidate, John blew away Newsome and Owner Steve Bisciotti in the interview and shortly after was named the second coach in Ravens franchise history.
In many ways 2008, was a rebuilding year for the New England Patriots, except at the time no one in New England had realized it yet. Patriot Nation was still stunned by the heartbreaking loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII. It was a chance for a perfect season that the Patriots let slip through their fingers, literally! From Asante Samuel's near interception to Jarvis Green's failed grasp of Eli Manning to Rodney Harrison's inability to jar the ball out of the facemask of David Tyree. Most of New England fans and media realized that the opportunity for a perfect season was gone probably forever, but there was still overwhelming faith in a 2008 Patriot Super Bowl Championship. The Patriots were essentially returning the same high powered offense from the previous season and were almost even money in Las Vegas to be playing in the Super Bowl. All those plans collapsed along with Tom Brady's knee early in the first quarter of the first game when Safety Bernard Pollard, now ironically a Raven, dove on Tom Brady's knee.
The Ravens, meanwhile, had a terrific season under Harbaugh in his first year. The Ravens went to the AFC Championship game on the strength of their consistent defense led by Newsome's former first round draft picks turned All-Pro veterans, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata and Ray Lewis. Earlier in the 2008 draft, Newsome acquired two key components in his makeover. Quarterback Joe Flacco was drafted 18th overall from Division 1-AA Delaware University. Then, the steal of the 2008 draft, Ray Rice, was taken late in the second round after a trade with Seattle. Flacco's rookie year was one of his best as he helped guide the Ravens to the AFC Championship. There it ended badly for Flacco as he threw three interceptions against the eventual Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. It seemed like it would be the first of many trips to the AFC title game for Flacco and the Ravens, but the last 3 years they have fallen just short.
The Patriots managed an impressive 11-5 season without Brady in 2008, but did not qualify for the playoffs after finishing second to the Miami Dolphins in the AFC East.
The 2009 season was chaotic for both teams. The Patriots with Tom Brady back at quarterback were once again favorites in the AFC. However, the results did not come close to the expectations. The offense and defense struggled all season. There were key departures on defense: the Patriots traded Richard Seymour to Oakland for a future first round pick and Tedy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison retired to TV careers. There was also a bad locker room environment fueled by disgruntled veterans Adalius Thomas, Randy Moss and Shawn Springs. There were also injuries, as Tom Brady probably played the last 3 weeks with broken ribs (we'll never know for sure), Vince Wilfolk was battling leg injuries and Wes Welker tore his ACL in the final regular season game. The Patriots managed a 10-6 regular season record including a early-season win against the Ravens, 27-21, in Foxboro. The record was mostly a façade; the Patriots were only 2-6 on the road and could not put together consistent football against some of the league's top teams.
The Ravens started 2009 strong at 3-0 behind Joe Flacco, who seemed to be taking that second season step forward that great quarterbacks do. They then struggled mightily in the middle of the season, going 3-6, before winning three of their last four regular season games to secure a wild card with a 9-7 record. Flacco regressed as the season went on and the Ravens came into Foxboro as underdogs. The game was over before it started. Ray Rice ran 83 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Tom Brady had his worst playoff game as a pro, getting strip sacked and throwing two interceptions in the first quarter that led to 17 Ravens points. The game was never close and despite only 10 passes and 34 yards from Flacco, the Ravens won easily 33-14. The Ravens lost the next week in the Divisional round to the eventual AFC Champion Colts 20-3.
While 2009 was an unfulfilled year for the Ravens on the field, it was another successful one for Newsome in the draft room. His first pick at #23 overall was actually acquired a in a trade with the Patriots. The Ravens selected Michael Oher of the "The Blindside" movie fame to play right tackle. He has been a consistent starter on the line for three years. In the 3rd round, Newsome did what Belichick has failed to do since drafting Asante Samuel in 2003: find a quality defensive back in the later rounds. Newsome selected Ladarius Webb (CB) from Nichols State in the third round. Webb will be focused on heavily this week; he is becoming one of the better cover corners in the league.
The Patriots' draft of 2009 is one of constant debate. From 2006 through 2008, the Belichick drafts produced only one solid starter: linebacker Jerod Mayo. It left the team with significant holes, especially on defense. Belichick went for quantity over quality in 2009 by trading out of the first round. He made the trade with the Ravens, picking up a second pick in the process. The Patriots passed on Clay Matthews, Vontae Davis and Hakeem Nicks, a pass rusher, a cover corner and downfield threat, three elements missing on the 2011 Patriots. Instead, they drafted four players in the second round: Patrick Chung (S), Ron Brace (DT), Darius Butler (CB) and Sebastian Vollmer (RT). Later in the draft they selected Brandon Tate (WR) in the 3rd round, one pick BEFORE Mike Wallace, and got good value with Myron Pryor (DL) and Julian Edelman (WR) in the late rounds. The draft seemed more promising in its first year as Chung, Butler, Vollmer, Pryor and Edelman were all contributors. But this year, Butler and Tate were cut, Pryor was placed on injured reserve early in the season and Chung, Vollmer and Brace have missed significant time battling injuries all year. Chung is finally back playing and is one of the keys for the Patriots on Sunday.
Note: The Patriots did pick up a second round draft pick via trade in this draft. They would later use it to draft Rob Gronkowski a year later, but in my opinion the Patriots could still have found a way to draft Gronkowski if they really wanted him. They had multiple picks in 2010 to do so.
The 2010 draft was a solid draft for Newsome and the Ravens. They missed on highly touted Sergio Kindle (LB), their first pick in the second round, who has yet to recover from microfracture knee surgery. This was a depth draft for the Ravens, DT Terrence Cody, TE's Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta were key contributors to this year's Ravens. They also acquired superb possession receiver Anquan Boldin from Arizona for a 5th round pick, considered by many to be a steal by Newsome. He has been Flacco's main target the last two seasons.
The 2010 draft for the Patriots was a home run. Unquestionably one of his strongest drafts in Belichick's tenure and his best since the departure of Personnel Director Scott Pioli to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Patriots nabbed Devin McCourty (CB), who had a spectacular rookie year with there first pick, but getting Rob Gronkowski in the 2nd round was the steal of the draft. The Patriots also picked up Aaron Hernandez in the 4th round after "character" issues caused him to fall and the Patriots drafted two key role players in and Brandon Spikes (LB) and Brandon Deadrick (DL). The Patriots did miss on Jermaine Cunningham (DE) in the second round. He was supposed to be a pass rushing threat after a spectacular career at Florida and showed initial promise but was a complete bust in 2011, riding the bench until he was eventually placed on injured reserve for the season.
The Divisional Round was heartbreaking for both teams in 2010. The Patriots after going 14-2 during the regular season lost to their hated Division rival the New York Jets 28-21 just over a month after blowing them off the same field 45-3. It wasn't the worst playoff loss of the Belichick/Brady era but perhaps the most embarrassing. The Jets came in talking and yapping and they left doing the same.
The Ravens had a similar meltdown on the road in Pittsburgh against their division rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. They squandered a 21-7 half time lead with a series of second half turnovers. Flacco struggled throwing a key interception and then later fumbled. A defensive assignment was missed late, leading to the game-winning touchdown for the Steelers.
So that brings us to 2011, a backwards season that featured a lockout, then the draft, then more lockout, and finally free agency. Newsome continued to draft strong early in the draft, grabbing a couple of Smiths in the first two rounds. Jimmy Smith, a CB from Colorado, started slow but has played well in the second half of the season and Torrey Smith, a WR from Maryland, has been the deep threat that Newsome has been looking for to pair with Flacco for there years. Newsome also filled in with veterans such as Ricky Williams (RB), Bryant McKinnie (OL), Lee Evans (WR), Andre Gurode (OL) and the infamous Bernard Pollard (S).
The Patriots, unsure at that time of the contract status of Matt Light, went safe and took Nate Solder at left tackle with the 17th overall pick. They then traded their second first round pick to New Orleans for a first round pick in 2012 and New Orleans' second round pick in the 2011 draft. It was a draft loaded with defensive lineman and pass rushers. Belichick made mention that it was one of the deepest defensive drafts in recent years prior to the draft.
The Patriots chose not to move up for the likes of JJ Watt (#11 overall) or Ryan Kerrigan (#16 overall), nor did they use any of their second round picks on pass rushers like Jabaal Sheard (#37 overall) or Brooks Reed (#42 overall). All four had spectacular rookie years in 2011. Belichick instead went with Ras-I Dowling (#32 overall), a big, physical corner out of Virginia. Dowling was hurt most of his senior year in college and pretty much all of his rookie season. He ended up on the injured reserve list by the halfway point of the season. Their next three picks were all offensive players, somewhat surprising considering some of the defensive holes on the team. Third round pick Stevan Ridley seemed to be making his move into the starting running back position, but fumbling for the second straight game has put his playing time in jeopardy this coming week. Shane Vereen, the pick acquired from the Saints, was a non-factor this season and Ryan Mallet is still a project.
In free agency, the Patriots had some spectacular hits in Brian Waters at RG and Andre Carter at DE before Carter went down with an injury. Those hits were offset by some spectacular misses as Albert Haynesworth proved all his critics right and mailed it in with the Patriots before being released. Chad Ochocinco (WR) has never really gotten on the same page as Tom Brady.
Solder, though, has been amazing for the Patriots this season. He has played up and down the line because of injuries to Vollmer, Connolly and Light. But still Belichick has been criticized (by me as well) for not drafting an impact defensive lineman/pass rusher. If the Patriots defense fails Sunday, that criticism muted right now, will surely return.
So there you have it, the two architects, Bill Belchick and Ozzie Newsome once on the same team are now facing off for a trip to Super Bowl XLVI. It's the AFC East Champion New England Patriots 13-3 versus the AFC North Champion Baltimore Ravens 12-4. Scott Pioli and Brian Billick are gone, replaced by Nick Caserio and John Harbaugh. There is no Rex Ryan or Romeo Crennell now, as they are now head coaches in New York and Kansas City.
There still remains five future Hall of Famers who probably will play a prominent roles in deciding who advances to Indianapolis. Can future Hall of Famer Tom Brady and the Patriots high powered offense prevail against the Ravens stellar defense led by future hall of famers Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs? What role if any will Newsome's first round quarterback Joe Flacco play in the game? And can Bill Belichick a future hall of fame coach, get his much maligned and talent-challenged defense to put together another great performance?
We'll all know on Sunday when we see this game that has been four years (or maybe sixteen years) in the making.

Arabian Dreams Hotel Apartments Dubai

Read my review - 5/5 stars
With limited budget, proper planning and googling were essential. All for the sake of not missing anything great with limited resources (both time and the pocket) especially for a family of 5. After some quick desk-diligence, we ended up selecting Arabian Dreams Hotel and Apartment in Bur Dubai area.
With the 3 boys running about, we opted for the 2 bedrooms apartment unit that came with 2 baths, a fridge (important for leftovers and for stocks), clothe washer ( coz we dont want to bring too much since we sure gonna bring back more stuff ;) ) a full kitchenette, dining and family hall, in short its a home away from home for us
Day 1 starts with all things well minus some hiccups, as always :(. Barely hours before the trip, wify was down with a bout of God knows what, threw up at everything. I guess my quick run to the clinic really saved our trip, and she fared well over the 9 hours flight. Thank God for that.
We stopped by Karachi enroute to Dubai. The 9 hours flight was like forever. Then there was this imigration hiccups on my kids' passports. We had a slight communication breakdown. Sometimes its all about attitude and knowledge. Immigration officers should be welcoming rather than gatekeeping "a house full of gold". But again afterall that initial fuss, a short remark of "are you ok?" by a commanding officer brought great relief to us,..... foreign travelers in a foreign land. Well that's half the fun in travelling, you aint know what to expect.
So back to our Arabian Dreams, all was well with the unit and we got help on the TV, the washer and safe boxes within minutes from calling for assistance
As for location, maybe there are better ones, more happening. However, I do prefer a quiet surrounding. Theres a mosque nearby, Maxim supermart where we got all our groceries done (just infront of Al Mashman building) plus a McD across another street and the best thing of all would have been Richmond Restaurant. Man oh man, their briyani was A++. I walked there for takeaways on the first day and they told me that they can deliver right to my room. Thats really great.
We slept well that night, tired but happy and of course, its the start of our Arabian dreams.

FWIW, I shot a nutso Neighborhood Dog that had been chased from my yard with a paintball gun many times. This time he had a hold of my wife's 3 pound Maltese. It was a Mutt with some Rott in him, probably about 60 lbs. I hit it with a .40 from about 5 feet and it dropped instantly. It was an original Black Talon bullet, they were still fresh enough to have in a carry gun at the time.
(Of course, I waited until any respectable dog would've been able to have shaken the life outta that little rat of dog that my wife had....
) It survived, but sadly (yeah right) it was crushed by a large SUV tire a year later.

Its probably because you are reading all of your variables, bar year,
in as strings.
However, you would do well to read the Statalist FAQ
(http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq) and providing a short
example of your data (top couple of lines) along with the commands you
are using in Stata and the output they produce as this is the level of

Oh yes, whilst this may be URGENT for you I very much doubt it is for
anyone else, so there's really no need for the qualifier.

I am selling the factory 4 pot calipers off of my 06' WRX. The passenger side has 1 stuck piston, and I don't have the time or tools to rebuild them so I took the lazy way out and bought new ones. The red paint is in rough shape from normal seasonal use, but there are plenty of DIY tutorials on how to rebuild them. If it helps I found good prices on all of the replacement parts through SubaruGenuineParts.com. I'm asking $250.00 OR BEST OFFER shipped (continental USA only) based on other sets I found for sale on other websites.
Here is a link (a different website, I know), to one of many 4 pot DIY rebuild tutorials for those interested.

For new residents in Steamboat Springs who have yet to experience a Yampa Valley winter, get ready for snow, ice and numbing temperatures.
The best way to prepare when the barometer plummets is to make sure you have the appropriate winter clothing. But stylish clothing isn't just for the city folk fashion doesn't have to take the back burner.
Although shopping malls and outlet stores are not an option in Steamboat Springs, plenty of local businesses allow residents to get ahead on the newest winter fashions while staying warm without having to take the lengthy drive to Denver.
Standing around to observe winter activities, such as Winter Carnival, can feel like an arctic blast. And no one wants to stand in the snow in a skirt with heeled boots and a skimpy top.
Marita Fiedler of Ski Haus said cotton is the devil during winter. People with cotton socks may see frostbite if they continue to wear them while standing still in the snow.
"If feet sweat, cotton gets wet and holds in moisture. It's like wearing wet socks all day. You want to layer with fabrics that wick," Fiedler said of the process that moves moisture away from the body.
If you're into the fashion that keeps you the warmest, Fiedler said fleece, wool and down are three insulating materials that will do the trick.
But soft shell technologies have created fabrics that are water and wind resistant that still allow breathing room for your body.
"Your body regulates its temperature a little better. The snow isn't necessarily always wet around here," Fiedler said.
If you're not standing in snow for a long time, Fiedler said the slip-on treaded shoe has become extremely popular in Steamboat.
"They have a little insulation and a tread that's snow friendly. People don't want to have to bend over and tie it," Fiedler said.
Loretta Hammerslag, a new co-owner of 8th Street West, said they intentionally buy a new line of winter boots every year that provide a good tread. But if you want a combination of warmth and style, local retailers in Steamboat say there is no need to sacrifice one for the other.
"The three-quarter length sweater coat goes well for Steamboat," said Bette Vandahl, also a co-owner of 8th Street West.
With more fitted, thin tops and low-riding, hip-hugging pants, sweater coats give people warmth in the length and a style made for the city, although city fashion has seeped into mountain ski towns such as Steamboat.
Those big bulky sweaters popular in the '80s and '90s in the winter have been replaced with tighter fitting clothing made of synthetic or natural fibers that allow room to move and provide just as much warmth.
Men and women who work in professional fields or need an outfit for attending the weekly dinner party can still be fashionable while being functional.
Although Allen's is lined with snowboarding and ski pants and jackets for men and women, tighter fitting sweaters and micro fleeces are the wave of the future, owner Todd Allen said.
"It's light-weight that's not bulky. This is out-to-dinner in Steamboat," Allen said.
While many men in Steamboat don't opt for the dress shirt and necktie, Allen said his store is one of the few in town where men can buy jeans, slacks and ties.
Allen said style and fashion are not so much of an issue in a town such as Steamboat; however, women might think a bit differently.
"Women like to feel like they look good," said Jody Peterson, manager of Chez Nous. "We're a sporty town, but we want to be fashionable."
Peterson said after 23years living in Steamboat, she's mastered style and comfort. Slip on shoes or mules can still be worn in the winter. Peterson recommended wearing boots outside in the snow, but packing a small work shoe in a large bag-style purse for indoors.
"You don't have to spend a lot of money to look fashionable," said Marylen Lyons of Chez Nous, adding that women in professional fields should dress for the job more in Steamboat.
Peterson said you never can have enough black pants made of a wool blend because black is easily complemented by any other color. Dressing for winter can be difficult. You want to bundle to go outdoors, but once you're inside, you may be sweating.
Peterson said cardigans and vests also are popular when you want to layer and be able to disrobe until you're comfortable.
Faux suede jackets with a shearling liner have added a colorful and warm style to wardrobes, Peterson said.
"Leather is big, real or faux. Oh, and equestrian is really big," Lyons said, also agreeing that sweater coats have made a come back from the 1970s.
The ladies from 8th Street West and Chez Nous said scarves and hats would appropriately accessorize any outfit.
"Scarves can make a total difference," Hammerslag said.
Along with the tighter fitting tops and silky undergarments, Hammerslag said large necks on tops are popular.
Although tight fitting turtlenecks still are popular, diverse necklines have invaded clothing stores and catalogs.
Get ready for the velvets and silks to dress up holiday festivities while staying toasty.
Local stores said most of the winter clothing has arrived.

The fragile head and brain of a fly are not easy things to examine but MRC scientists have figured out how to make it a little simpler. And they hope their research will shed light on human disease.
Using an imaging technique, originally developed at the MRC Human Genetics Unit, called optical projection tomography (OPT) they have generated startling 3D images of the inside of a fruit fly for the first time. The OPT images could help to speed up genetic research into Alzheimer's and other human diseases that affect brain cells.
Dr Mary O'Connell of the MRC Human Genetics Unit who led the research explained: ''Neurodegeneration, the gradual loss of function of brain cells that occurs in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and motor neurone diseases, isn't a strictly human phenomenon. Insects are affected by it too. In the autumn, bees and wasps often develop erratic behaviour before they die.''
Because the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) and human share many genes with similar functions, the fly is widely used by genetic researchers to study how genes influence human disease.
''It's already known that defects in the equivalent fly genes involved in human brain diseases cause brain cells in fruit flies to lose function as they age,'' Dr O'Connell continued.
OPT could help researchers to look at how the fly brain changes in response to alterations in the normal activity of a specific gene without the risk of damaging tissue through dissection.
In a paper published in the September 5 issue of journal PLoS One, the team describes how they have already used the technique to image individual cavities within the brain of an ageing fly and see the brain deteriorate.
MRC PhD student Leeanne McGurk who captured many of the OPT images explained why the technique works: ''The dark colour of the fly exoskeleton prevents us from seeing inside it using a standard light microscope. In the past this has meant scientists have had to tease apart fruit fly tissues by hand -- a laborious process. Now, we have got over the problem by bleaching the fly exoskeleton. When the fruit fly becomes colourless it is possible to use imaging techniques not only to view its internal organs but to generate 2D and 3D images of the entire fly. ''
Using OPT images in this way will allow scientists to visualise where and how the products of selected genes are present in the fly. These patterns of gene expression, as they are known, will help to identify genes that control parts of the central nervous system and so provide detailed information about the human brain.
Bleaching of the exoskeleton to clear away the colour also allows images to be generated using other microscopic techniques that depend on penetration of light.
Dr O'Connell concluded: ''This research is not simply limited to the study of conditions like Alzheimer's but can also be used to study fly anatomy. The shape and size of organs can be affected by diseases like diabetes so imaging may yield clues to further our understanding of other conditions too.''
The team, including Dr. Liam Keegan at the MRC Human Genetics Unit in Edinburgh collaborated with scientists working on the Systems Biology Program at Centre de Regulacio Genomica, Barcelona, Spain.

Rebecca's War Dog of the Week: British Army Unveils New Elite Force (with Dogs)
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at email@example.com.
By Rebecca Frankel
Best Defense Chief Canine Correspondent
The British Army just debuted its new elite fighting force — the Force Troops Command (FTC). Soldiers from the new wing offered a preview of their specialist capabilities in a series of demonstrations this week at Upavon Airfield which included "infantrymen, divers, medics, artillery units, missile specialists, chefs," and, yes, dog teams.
Handlers like Private Terry Gidzinski and his MWD Cheyenne (pictured above) were there to show off their skills. In this photo, the pair is relaxing, but in the photos below Gidzinski and Cheyenne (along with Corporal Kelly Wolstencroft and her MWD partner Tran) are demonstrating their teams' capabilities — what I would guess would be combat-ready tactical drills and bite work (though the photo captions don't specify).
According to the British Army website, FTC will be fully operation as of April 1 and will eventually be composed of "nine 'functional' brigades" including:
A new Intelligence and Surveillance Brigade will deliver integrated intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, drawing specifically on lessons from Afghanistan. A new Artillery Brigade will deliver both close support artillery and precision fires, as well as leading Air-Land Integration. 8 Engineer Brigade will expand to command the close support engineer units, as well as Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Search, Force Support and Infrastructure Groups.
So, the war-dog takeaway? The British Army appears to be readying itself to put to (perhaps even better) use the lessons of Afghanistan, meaning that it fully anticipates engaging an enemy in asymmetric warfare. Which means IEDs — as JIEDDO head Lt. Gen. Michael D. Barbero called them in 2012, the "weapon of choice by threat networks" for decades to come. Which means, of course, explosive-detecting dog teams are going to come in handy.

My acupuncture clinic combines a warm and friendly environment with a professional and confidential service.
This relaxing, results driven environment integrates personal and specialised treatments to relieve pain, nurture your body, restore your spirit and unite outer health and inner well being.
"I came to Leesa with a severely stiff neck associated with bad posture and sitting incorrectly at my computer for too many hours. I had spent several weeks treating the problem to no avail and then decided to try the acupuncture route. I was very nervous and wasn't particularly keen on needles but Leesa made me feel very much at ease and to my surprise the procedure wasn't painful and I felt an instant relief in my neck as I walked out the door. Each time I came for treatment the pain eased a little more and I found the whole experience thoroughly worthwhile and have been recommending it to my friends ever since."
"I was diagnosed with lymphoma, which is a cancer of the lymph glands in May 2011 but I had been seeing Leesa since January 2011 for a spinal problem.
As she treats the whole body she had also been treating me for low liver and lung function and it turned out that this lymphoma was in the liver and lymph glands by the liver. I have been having chemotherapy for the past 3 months and have continued on with treatment from Leesa. This has greatly assisted me through this period as I have had minimal symptoms from quite intensive fortnightly chemotherapy sessions and I believe this is due to Leesa's intuitive and professional knowledge of where best to place the needles to maximise my recovery time. At present I have finished my chemotherapy and the specialist is very pleased with the scans he has seen. I am due to start radiation treatment shortly to maximise my chances of a full recovery."
"My name is Ben and I have allergies. Sometimes I can't stop sneezing but when Leesa treats me it's like I've never had allergies, and to top it all off it doesn't even hurt!"
"At first when I got told that I was going to get needles to make me feel better, I couldn't get my head around it. How would getting needles stuck into me help? But Leesa Jackson was nice and calm and told me what would happen. I was still nervous. When Leesa stuck the needles in there was a stinging for about 2 seconds, and then it was gone. As soon as they were taken out my headache was gone. Now ever since then I have fully trusted Leesa with simple headaches to sporting injuries to make my body better."
"It gives me great pleasure in expressing my appreciation to you on the treatment I have received over the previous two months.
I first decided to obtain your services when at my age of 87 I was suffering severe pain in my arms, neck and hip area. Desperation was at the stage that I was willing to try anything and when it was suggested perhaps Acupuncture was the way to go, I decided to seek your services.
Like most of us oldies, I thought this procedure was an old Chinese style of medication that involved a certain amount of pain when needles were applied to an affected area. I therefore became slightly apprehensive and skeptical on what I was to expect.
Leesa, how wrong I was through my ignorance and how glad I am that I made contact with you. The whole procedure throughout my appointments at your Clinic have been amazing in the results to date. No pain was experienced and you certainly knew where the affected areas were when placing the various needles. Where I had very restricted movements in both arms I can now gain near enough to full height when I reach above my shoulders. Also, I can now walk without experiencing pain with every step.
"It gives me great pleasure in expressing my appreciation to you on the treatment I have received over the previous two months."

London Calling: The Middle Classes and the Remaking of Inner London
€ 109,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
April 2004
BeschreibungSymbolizing both commerce and culture, London has always been a magnet for the ambitions of the middle classes. However, the past three decades have witnessed a dramatic fragmentation in inner-city London's social map. New and highly distinctive middle-class neighbourhoods have sprung up where embattled workers seek to combat the deleterious effects of long working hours, travel, and stress on traditional family values. This book is the first to explore the powerful impact of globalization on London's economy and those who are caught up in it. More and more people are responding to the negative effects of working life as well as the lack of structure in their lives and particularly those of their children. The gentrification of certain areas and the differences among them directly reflects this desire to impose cultural values and structure on urban surroundings. How do these areas reflect middle-class values, ideologies, lifestyles, social backgrounds and occupational choices, and how have old neighbourhoods been refashioned and made amenable to middle-class life? In what ways has family life been affected by this new emphasis on values, structure and security, and what does the future hold? This fascinating book provides the first sustained analysis of the profound effects of globalization on city dwellers. Its original account of the relationship between urban space and cultural reproduction will inspire new research for years to come.
InhaltsverzeichnisChapter 1 Marking out the middle classes in a global city Chapter 2 Gentrification: a middle-cass coping strategy? Chapter 3 Spatial and strategic middle-class activity in the City Chapter 4 Mapping the neighbourhoods Chapter 5 A Class in and for itself? Chapter 6 Home and household Chapter 7 Children, schooling and social reproduction Chapter 8 Making sense of 21st century gentrification Chapter 9 Conclusions Bibliography
PortraitGarry Robson Tim Butler is Reader in Urban Sociology at the University of East London.
Pressestimmen'There is a great deal to admire in this book, not least the brave attempt to produce a theoretically informed analysis based on a large number of personal testimonies by middle-class occupants and an insistence on not only the importance of understanding lived experiences but also their social and geographical variety.'Urban Studies Journal'Tim Butler has already established himself as the foremost British sociologist of gentrification. Butler and Robson take this a step further by presenting a fascinating account of how London's middle classes are adapting to the challenge of living in a global city. This is a readable, lively, yet robust account of the contemporary urban change.'Mike Savage, Department of Sociology, Manchester University'London Calling is a fascinating and illuminating book about the changing role of the middle classes in inner London and the extent of their integration in local communities. It is theoretically very well grounded and empirically rigorous

Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil Question
Does anyone know if Mobil 1 Fully synthetic oils with SuperSyn anti-wear technology contain teflon? Im pondering switching back to Motorcraft dealer oil and Ive been using Mobil one full synthetic. Will I have any performance or damage by switching back from this synthetic to a non synthetic? What do I do?!
I don't believe it does. It should say on the bottle if it does. That is the claim to fame of synthetics is that they don't need the additives. motorcraft oil is semi synthetic, and that is all I will use. Besides, at walmart, motorcraft semi synthetic is cheaper than valvoline dino oil lol.
I never knew the dealer oil was semi-synthetic, anyone think Ill have any long term problems?
I don't think so but we'll never know exactly what it contains as the additive packages of motor oils are closely guarded secrets.
Mobil 1 does use polyalphaolefins (PAOs), and as I say a proprietary system of additives.
Why are you switching back?
However you won't harm your engine by switching from a syn to dino ( except some of us believe that syn will do a better job protecting your engine from wear and tear.)
BTW, I heard today from a Ford service tech that you do your engine and wallet a favor by sticking to the 5w(or 0w)-20w rather than a 5w-30w oil. The less viscous oil actually increases the life of the engine because it need not work as hard pushing through it.
Also, the less viscous oil gets better mpg and produces less harmful emissions.
Im switching back because I dont think the car is running very well with the Mobil one. It seems noisier and like it runs rougher with this oil, especially at a cold start so Im worried its causing damage, I used to always use the ford oil and now Im kinda sorry i switched
I can't imagine using Mobil 1 w/ super syn is doing damage to your engine. Mobil 1 comes as standard equipment, "factory fill" in Chevrolet Corvette, all Porsches, Mercedes-Benz AMG models, Dodge Viper, Ford Mustang Cobra R and all Aston Martin cars. It provides better cold and hot temp lubrication and the oil viscosity stays put, unlike natural oils.
That said, I'm also of the opinion that if one operates their car under normal conditions, that is no towing or consistently high revs, and changes their oil every 3K, there is probably no advantage to using sythetic.
BTW, what weight Mobil 1 are you using?
Also, is the noise you are hearing kind of a knocking as the car warms? Because, this is probably a clutch noise which is normal.
Bottom line, if it gives you peace of mind, I'd switch back. Regular oil changes are the key imo.
I really don't think your rough running is because of the oil. There are so many things that can cause that. Like any one of the numerous sensors, or even dirty fuel injectors. a gummed up MAF will do that too
I spoke with a guy today who ran engines for the Navy on air craft carriers. He knew a great deal about lubricants and of course synthetics. According to him if you are not using 5w (or 0W)-20w on newer engines, which spec that viscosity, you may be doing some damage at start-up; which is when the majority of wear happens in an engine.
Even though Mobil 1 is a superior oil, the right viscosity is necessary for these newer, tighter engines.
So, what visc Mobil 1 were you using!
Now even though a 5w-20 and 5w30 have the same low number, indicating they should provide the same lubrication when cold, this is apparently not the case. It actually takes longer for the 5w-30 to start lubing the top of your engine.
By using Mobil 1 5w-30w I thought I was providing better lubrication at the high temps as well, but the 20w is sufficient and at a lower viscosity lengthens the life of the engine, provides better mpg and lower emissions.
So here is the kicker. I switched to a 5w-20 organic oil today ( I can't locate the 0w-20 Mobil 1 in my area and neither Castrol, Penzoil or Valvoline make a sny in 5w-20-yet, though they are in development) and guess what?-I think my engine runs quieter! This may be all in my mind, but you know, I think it is quieter!
So, if you were using Mobil 1 5w-30, I think you are making the right decision going back to OEM specs.
BTW, if you were using the Mobil 1 oil filter, that could be a problem as well. Apparently it does not have an anti-drain back valve and the position of the filter on the Zetec definately requies one. This fact alone would cause more wear at start up than the wrong visc oil.
So, I'll probably run a syn in the future but will be sticking with a 5w-20 weight oil. [thumb]
Im using a 5w-30, but the owners manual says to use a 5w-30 not a 5w-20?
Yeah, my owners manual for my 2k se also says to use 5w-30. I think the specs were changed at some point for foci after 2000.

2011 Memorial Day weekend BBQ
Grilling season opened on an auspiciously beautiful day in the Bay Area. Is there any more enjoyable way to enjoy great weather than with fire, food and friends? Salted-kumquat quails & duck gizzards were the big hits. We also made vegan dishes including squash blossoms and burgers that were devoured by guests with dietary restrictions and omnivores alike.
Traditional Vietnamese comfort food dinner
A meal to reminisce about the far-away Mekong delta countryside, whose riverbank and floodplains are dotted with palm trees. Sweet, fragrant coconut juice lends its unique qualities to all the dishes featured
2010 Holiday meals
Our first year entrusted with the holiday meals. It was satisfying to see our parents able to sit back and relax, even more gratifying to have them enjoy the fruits of our labor.
September 2010 housewarming dinner
Our epic housewarming dinner: 5-hr long dinner with 14 courses for 14 guests. You know the food was good when no one wanted to skip any course on the menu even though everyone complained about being full 2/3 of the way through.
