Date of Stay: October, 2015
We have been traveling for over three months and this was my favorite RV park yet. The grounds are beautiful, the spaces large, level and concrete with a lot of space between sites. As opposed to another review, the WiFi was fine. I would not drop a place a bunch of stars due to weak WiFi. We are more interested in the facilities and proximity to what we want to do. There is a wonderful walking path, boat rentals, horses and who knows what else. It was great. Just wish we would have been able to stay longer. Loved this place.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
This was our second time staying at this park. The place is quiet, clean, and the spaces are nice. Good distance between spaces and pretty level. It's away from the noise of freeways and other busy roads. There is a walking trail that goes very close to the park. There are large picnic tables, and good cable coverage. It's not a "pretty" park, but it was very adequate. Didn't see a place for children to play, but we didn't have children, so maybe we missed it. Our site was a pull-through, which was very helpful. The last time we were there they put us in a back-in, and it was horribly awkward to park a 34' 5th wheel. The lady this time said they don't put rigs as big as ours in a back-in. Sure wish the man last time knew that. It would have been nice to have books or DVDs or games to check out for a night or so. We were just there for two nights but left our DVDs at home. :-). Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
Love, love, love this park. We drove out of our way about 8 miles to stay away from I-5 and we discovered a gem. Therefore, on our way home from our trip we stopped here again for two nights. The park is located on a busy stretch of road which depending on your space can be a little annoying. The first time we stayed we were further back and didn't hear any road noise. Second time we were closer to the front of the park and could hear the road noise. Didn't matter to us as the park is so great. They have all the amenities listed in other reviews, plus an espresso/latte machine for us North-westerner's; a build your own banana split time on Friday night's and an excellent continental (was really much more) breakfast on Saturday mornings. There is a minimal fee for both of these events. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and helpful. There is also a game room, beautiful restrooms, showers and laundry. The only reason I gave this a 9 instead of a 10 is 1) for the dust 2) the road noise on our second visit 3) they should install toilet seat covers. We are already planning to go back again and stay for a longer amount of time. Rate reflect Passport America. Love this park.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
What is not to love about this place. Absolutely nothing. I have posted before about how wonderful this place is, but wanted to add something I keep forgetting. This is one of the few places that refunds your money if you do not stay the entire time of your trip. Very unusual. And they also let you pick your spot. They have so many amenities and the place seems to be spotless. The sites are long and wide and we love it. On our way home recently we drove an unheard of 8 hours just to be able to stay there. You will not be disappointed.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Yes, this is casino camp group, so typically I don't expect much, but this was far below our expectations. The sites are fairly level, so that's good. The check in was simple and quick, but that's about where it ends. There was a laundry room, but the soap vending machines were empty. Only one washer and dryer worked. There was one co-ed toilet. They had a little store you could walk to, but they didn't sell milk in any form. I have no idea where the marina was. Another good thing was that since there were only about four of us in the park. You could just park anywhere and take an extra space for your tow vehicle. Also, this is listed at a Good Sam park, but when I presented my card I was told they only honored Good Sam on weekends. That was a new one for us.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
There are many good things about this park. Mainly the amenities for children. They have a pool, water park, petting zoo, mini golf, catch and release fish pond, pet area, ice cream socials and more. On the downside, the park is extremely dusty and dirty. When checking in the staff was not very friendly. Yes, they were busy, but customer service should not be forsaken. We were given two trash bags and I.D. bands and our space number and sent out the door. The person who checked us in did not go over any information. Our site was on dirt/gravel and was not level. In fact the sewer hookup went uphill, not down, so we had to call to get dumped. We held a family camping reunion here. We would not stay here again. Too expensive and too many rules which we found out the hard way. Children under 18 even have to have an adult with them at all times.e camped in a 5th wheel.
Date of Stay: April, 2014
Pulled into this park for an overnight stay before heading home to WA. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It does have a few quirks such as having to check out a cable box for cable. They have the Tengo Internet which I have never been a fan of. The spots were long and level. Yes, they are a little narrow, but grassy and nice. The bathrooms and showers were clean both morning and night. You can walk from the park into the town of Troutdale which is very nice. All of the store fronts keep the look of historic Troutdale and it adds to the likability of the town. We also walked over to the public park and to the river across the bridge. Everything is very close. Yes, it seems like the park has an abundance of full timers, but all sites and rigs were well kept, folks were friendly welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: February, 2014
We were planning on staying at another place, but were directed here by relatives. Luckily so. They do have a lot of rules, but if you pay attention to them you have no problem. What was really nice is that they allow you to wash your rig and vehicle in the park. Yaay! They have good laundry facilities, a covered pool which we saw but did not partake of, a spa, and workout room. They are also right across the street from a casino which has a decent and reasonable priced buffet. We were able to use Passport America which made everything at the RV park even better.
Date of Stay: February, 2014
Do not hesitate to stop here. Traveling through NV, my husband found this place on the Web and thought it looked good. He was right. It was very nice. We had a pull though site which was plenty long. TV, internet, all worked well. Water pressure was great. Should have caught up on my laundry at the facility that was sparking clean as was the bath and shower area. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a great place to stay.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
We chose to drive six miles out of our way to stay here due to other reviews we read. Plus in speaking with the owner over the phone, and hearing about the restaurant and the prime rib special, I was sold. The park is right on the Klamath River. Most of the spots are nose in. Personally, I think someone made a mistake in design. Anyhow, we stayed in a pull through, which was concrete and fairly level. We went to the restaurant for Prime Rib to find it was sold out. We opted for steak and ALL of the food we had was EXCELLENT. We were one of two rigs in the park. The other appeared to be resident. It was very peaceful and quiet. No cable and be aware - NO cell phone coverage. If you like to fish, and you like the remoteness, this is definitely a place to go. The owners were great and very helpful. Restaurant was great. However, I would not go six miles out of my way again to stay there. The rate of $30.00 was the Passport America rate, which I considered to be very high for the park and it's amenities.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
We stayed here one night while driving to the San Fran bay area. The office staff was very nice and accommodating. Our spot seemed to be between two long term people which was not a problem. We chose that part of the park for the cable. In the future I would opt out of cable and stay in the newer section in front. They are closer to the road but far away enough to not be a deciding factor. The restrooms, in my opinion, could have been cleaner. It seemed like the people in charge were working to improve a lot of things. I would definitely stay here again for an overnight stay.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
It was really hard for me to rate this park. The staff was super and very helpful when we ran into a problem. We only planned to stay a few nights, but when pulling out discovered our leaf springs were broken. That put us there several more days. They bathrooms were great; however, you have to pay a $25.00 key deposit, refundable at departure. We did not use the showers but they are right in the bathrooms - which are huge - and appeared to be very clean and nice. The spots are not large and there are few due to the amount of full timers there. They have the old part which is almost all full timers and the new part which has some space available for travelers. They have WiFi, but no cable. Very few amenities. The thing is - this is the only decent game in town and if you know anything about the San Fran Bay area, $60.00 per night is decent. The rate reflected is a week long stay rate. We would return here if we came back to the area, but due to the cost, will probably not drive this route again in our 5/w.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
This is a very clean park that is a "resort" type with planned activities, etc., The pull thru spaces in our section were big and level. The pads were concrete. When I called on the phone to get the rates I was asked if I had Good Sam or AARP. I was quoted the rate for Good Sam. The folks that pulled in ahead of us told us they received the Passport America rate. The next morning I went into the office to inquire. The lady at the office was not really wanting to give me a refund, but in the end she did. The rate reflected on this post is a PPA rate. I did learn to always ask if they the parks accept PPA as it was not one of the discounts listed in their info OR on the PPA website. All in all, a very nice park off the beaten path which eliminates road noise.
Date of Stay: February, 2013
We stayed here for a month and loved it. They call themselves "the friendly park" and it's true. We were made to feel welcome by all and encouraged to participate in all of the activities. There are tons of activities to pick from. It's an over "55" park, so it's not for children unless they are visiting. Everything about this park is great. If you are just staying for a few days you will get a spot in the back, which is fine. Otherwise you are mixed in with the park models. That's fine too unless you are a big rig and you are being placed between two park models. They have someone help you but it's still tight until you get in. The rate reflected is for a monthly stay.
Date of Stay: February, 2013
A very nice, clean park located far enough off the highway that the road noise was minimal. You are walking distance to Safeway and other stores. The people were welcoming. They have their own private observatory, but while we were there the weather did not cooperate. The work out room was well equipped. We were initially planning to stay at a different RV park, but decided to check this one out first. Glad we did.

Our 100 year old business is still working its way into the 21st century. As we continue to make quality leather goods we are also joining the cyber world and the fun of Facebook. Here's a bit of the fun we have had so far. We are sure there will be more to come…
Women's – If My Wallet Could Only Do This Contest
We asked our fans to share ideas about what they wished their wallet could do. In return for some great ideas our winner received a new Bosca wallet. In addition, we chose 25 participants randomly to receive $25 gift cards. Here's the winner…
Amy B. Rothschild wrote – "I'd love to have a wallet that is somewhat compact (like a French wallet) that would allow for a sufficient number of credit cards to be held in the actual wallet (without the need for a plastic credit card insert), that would allow for my drivers' license to be shown and viewed upon simply opening the wallet (not on the exterior of the wallet), that had a divider in the billfold section – one for bills and one for receipts, coupons, etc. and one that had a change purse with a clasp which is much easier accessible and sturdier than a zippered compartment for change (that is likewise divided when opened). Bosca made a similar wallet many many many years ago and I loved it!!! Great products… functional… quality workmanship and quality materials!!!"
She got the most votes so we gave her a wallet that we think fits the bill. Christopher Bosca writes "The wallet that I have chosen for you is from our Ravenna Collection. This is a brand-new group. You are getting the first one to be shipped to anyone!! I chose one in a color we call platinum, but then I decided that you might like to choose the color on your own. "
Men's Wallet Makeover
We asked our fans to share pictures of their wallets that have "seen better days". We saw some pretty sad wallets and it was hard to pick just three to be voted on. The competition was fierce but our fans chose the winner.
Cynthia Beaumont submitted a photo of her husband Thomas's wallet and it was his lucky day. Here is a picture of Thomas and his new Bosca wallet.
To thank all the finalists we sent new wallets to ALL three.
So you never know what we will do with a contest and usually we have more that one "winner". We are looking forward to more contests and Facebook Fun in the future.

Weiner Resignation Opens an Opportunity: Possible Contenders
Now that Rep. Anthony Weiner has announced his resignation, It's A Free Country takes a look at some of the possible contenders for that Ninth District seat.
Councilmember Mark Weprin
Queens City Councilmember Mark Weprin (D-23), is rumored to be most likely to receive support from the Queens Democratic Party. Councilmember Weprin is from the political Weprin family, who maintain close ties with Queens Democratic Party chairman and Rep. Joe Crowley. Weprin is a friend and neighbor of Weiner's, and even as rumors swirled that he might be the next in line, Weprin defended Weiner's right to remain in office.
Melinda Katz
Former Councilmember and candidate for City Comptroller's Office Melinda Katz built her platform as a candidate for comptroller around her strong advocacy for women's issues. Katz is known as a candidate who is as likely to burst into song on the podium as speak on the issues, but she's a sharp and determined candidate.
Eric Gioia
Eric Gioia (it's pronounced Joy-yuh), who served two four-year terms in the Council as a Queens City Council Democrat, has since moved on to become vice president of JPMorgan Chase's private bank. A frequent critic of Mayor Bloomberg, Gioia ran for Public Advocate in 2009 but lost to Bill deBlasio.
Assemblyman Rory Lancman
Assemblyman Rory Lancman (25th District) is definitely a likely contender. The assemblyman, who introduced a bill requiring hotel workers to carry panic buttons following the alleged assault of a maid by IMF president Dominique Strauss-Kahn (but presciently before the alleged assault of a hotel worker at the Pierre Hotel) has a history of working for increased transparency and protection for whistleblowers.
State Senator José Peralta
Where many Democrats are seeing disgrace and embarrassment, Assemblyman José Rivera is seeing an opportunity. Mr. Rivera believes the Latino community has an opportunity to fill that vacancy with a Latino — specifically, with Latino State Senator José Peralta. If Mr. Peralta were to take office, he would be the third Latino to occupy a Congressional district seat in New York State. District Nine is only 13.6 percent Latino, but Mr. Rivera told El Diario that a Latino majority is unnecessary, pointing to districts who have a Latino majority but non-Latino representation, such as that of Italian-American Brooklyn Assemblyman Vito Lopez.
Councilmember Eric Ulrich
Councilmember Eric Ulrich (R-32), the youngest city council member at 24, recently received some press for joining the effort to improve public safety by mandating that bicycles be licensed like cars. Mr. Ulrich has had some difficulties involving Twitter himself, after sending a testy response to a tweet concerning a pedestrian accident near his office. Councilmember Ulrich's staffer Bart Haggerty said Councilman Ulrich was not yet prepared to speak about the possibility of a candidacy.
Bob Turner
Conservative businessman Bob Turner, who ran against Weiner last year and lost with 41 percent, has said he was driven to run against Weiner because of Weiner's support of health care reform. The retired Turner, who lives in Breezy Point, Queens, told the NY Post that he would consider a run for the seat, should Weiner resign.

Following up the first two installments of Sandman's Sexy Friends with Stacey Dixon and April Hunter is Amanda. This local girl is making her mark as a web model on the weekends out off Nashville. It's easy to see why us guys would want to log on and check Amanda out. She's got all the stuff we love…beauty, boobs and a juicy booty! Amanda sums herself up in a quote from her Facebook page… "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"…
Thanks for sharing your best with us Amanda!

Well as some of my other threads have hinted to, I've been interested in getting a STI for the last few months. A local dealership, Annapolis Subaru in Maryland, had recently got in a 2007 WRB STI with gold wheels, wheel locks, auto dimming mirror, and all weather mats in early last week. I PM'd Andy who is a salesman there via Nasioc and he advised the car was there, priced at 31,7xx and had 2 miles on it.
At this point the seed in the back of my head was planted. I started to play with numbers again and I realized that the 08 STI's might be announced in April but wont be on sale till probaly December of 07 or early 08. I also figured even if the STI got a HP bump it would problay be heavier then before.
So I fought with the logic and ended up getting the STI now. I sat up a to go to Annapolis Subaru at 11:15 on saturday to do the paperwork. I was going to trade in my 2006 WRX LTD and I wanted to take off the contiextream contacts I put on it and put the re-92's back on it. So I had to wake up extra early in order to grab the tires and mount them.
I get all that down and head down to Annapolis Subaru. I arrive at the dealership and my STI is in the showroom with a car cover over it (very professional if you are into that kind of stuff...it was a tad overkill in my book through). The STI was all cleaned up and had a full tank of gas. I sat down with Andy and went over the details of the car and what not. He was helpful throughout the whole event.
The only "surprise" I had was when the finance lady come over and qouted me my interest rate. I about dropped dead in shock. I spoke to her with my concern and she called Subaru back. They dropped it 2 pts to put it into a more realistic teir and dropped the payments about 20-30 bucks a month.
I of course drove with the manager when he test drove my trade in. The test drives always scare me a little bit because they usually jump in with reckless abandon. I wouldnt mind if I knew I was trading in the car, but at this time I wasnt 100% certain. None the less he looked at it and appraised it. They made what I considered a fair offer for the trade in.
Andy is very knowledgeable about the STI and other Subaru models for that matter. It is very nice to deal with someone who actually knows the ins and outs of the car. He was able to explain all the little goodies like the DCCD, HID leveler, and I/C Sprayer with no issues.
When we went to sign the paper work (usually the most dreaded part) it went rather quickly. The lady went down the check list of things she had to try and sell me and I declined. The one offer I accepted, and mainly because she persisted, was the tire/wheel warranty. If I have any issues with the tires or wheels it covers the replacement with no out of pocket cost. This increased my monthly payment but like 3 bucks and costed a total of 400 I think. Even if I dont use it it is worth the peice of mind of not having to shell out the 1g asking price of a BBS rim.
Overall I had a very pleasent experiance with Annapolis Subaru would recommend them to anyone who is interested in a Subaru. The only downfall was I spent more time at the dealership then I expected. I realize it was a saturday and they were pretty busy, but compared to my last purchase I was there much longer. Not really complaining but just pointing something out that I noticed.

My Mood:
Re: osan afb
Most of the tours to Korea are short (1 to 2 years) and just recently they started letting spouses etc go along. And many times the service members prefer to let their families at home, because of the whole situation there.
For how long are you going to stay? If it's just for short tour, I would rather stay at home and wait for the follow-up-assignment.
Here is an e-mail about Osan AFB collected by a co-worker of my DH:
I'm going to begin with the beginning:
This should be your first source, and you can gleam a large amount of info from here.
This is basically all the sponsorship stuff you'll ever need, online. The AFRC is a great place for info on family stuff and they offer STUPID cheap trips, like overnight trips for $25 (which usually costs like $75 or $100 at the ITT)
here is a little supplimental information-
Living Arrangements
As of right now, almost all the NCO's have to be moved off-base. There is a large amount of renovation going on to the NCO dorms (A whole floor was evacuated because of flooding). Most SrA becoming SSgt are being encouraged (almost forced) to move out of the Airman dorms because of over-crowding (Depending on when you put on SSgt in relation to your DEROS).
With that in mind, you may have more give to as what to bring with you. I know that my TSgt here (NCOIC) is at the on-base dorms, and has to share a dorm room. They are the separate room/joined bathroom and kitchenette type dorm rooms.
The Base Housing Office is located in Bldg. 765, across from the chapel. The telephone number is DSN: 784-6791/1840, Fax 784-2800.
The office is open from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. The housing office closes at noon for training every first and third Thursday.
The housing office maintains a waiting list by date of sign-ups. Advance sign-up applications are not authorized. Pets are not authorized in any of Osan's unaccompanied dormitories.
Airman dorms and NCO dorms are decently sized, with a twin-sized bed, desk, dresser, and (sometimes) a TV Armoire.
You may want to consider bringing the following items to minimize initial expenses:
Vacuum cleaner
Small area rugs (for vanity, shower, latrine area)
TV / VCR / Stereo / Radio
Coffee Maker
Bedding ( pillows, blankets, sheets, mattress pad )
Iron board and Iron
There is always room for gaming systems, and almost all the Airman/NCO's end up getting some form of big-screen TV- just note that Household goods can't ship any TV that is over 26" so plan accordingly.
IF you do end up living off base, a good guide to read is listed here:
Doing research of my own while looking for a place to live is the only realtor to avoid is "Korea Realty", which is located down the street from 'Happy Teriyaki' and across the street from 'Pizza Club'. I don't know the specifics, but the information I found made it sound like they werent very helpful or courteous to the military members. Personally, I went with 'Smile Realty' and they were really nice, drove my husband to a couple apartments to look at, and when the time came for the inspection, were available to go with us and talked to the Housing Office Inspector.
I would bring only enough stuff to get you buy for your tour length.
If you want to bring your family, read this:
and If you want to bring your spouse but DON'T want to spend 3 years here, then read this:
And also, don't worry. I brought my husband, and two other Airmen (A1C and SrA) I know also were able to bring their spouses over without any concerns. If more information is requested about non-command sponsored dependents living in Korea, I will make an extra section concerning this.
Shipping Things/Post office Box
As soon as you get your orders, fax a copy over to your sponsor. They will be able to get an APO Box for you 90 days prior to your arrival.
PLEASE NOTE: There have been some issues with items going missing in transit to APO boxes in PACAF. People aboard the transit boats shipping out from San Francisco have been found pilfering and stealing. If you want to send a high-value item, always put it in a plane, non-marked box. Be very vague on your import declaration, and try not to have anything that will draw attention to your box in particular.
What to bring as for Clothes:
Regardless of when you get here, you will be here for 365 days.
You WILL need warm clothes, as it gets VERY cold in the winter. It snows from around January 3 until Mid-March. It actually snowed up until March 18 this year, but May first brought warmth and sunshine. If you snowboard, there are always snowboarding trips every weekend, so feel free to have your snowboarding gear and clothes shipped along with TMO.
There is a lot of clothing stores around the base (and the BX itself) so you can always top off your supply, but having a nice selection to choose from will be helpful for your transition period between seasons. It goes from being VERY hot to very cold quickly.
As you may well know, Vonage does not work in Korea. Yes, there are rare cases where a certain floor on a certain building have been un-effected, and certain areas off-base will work, but for the most part, you can generally bank on NOT having Vonage. Voice Stik has been experiencing some issues as well, so I would look into a monthly plan with Skype. You can always use Skype for free, or like I do, put $10 on whenever I need to make calls back home. I don't have a call-back number, which has saved me from getting night-time calls that wake me up.
NO, you can't use your old cell-phone from back home. Koreans don't believe in SIM cards, and you can actually buy a used cell-phone for about $30, or a new one for $50 or $60 depending on how stylish/advanced you like it. You buy minute cards, where its around 30mins for 10,000 WON (about $7) for local calls, and more expensive for International Cards. I don't like to use my cell for international calls, but some people like the convenience to be able to call during lunch.
After your tour, you can sell-back your cell phone for a couple bucks.
I suggest using the main cell-phone place off-base, its about 3 blocks down the "main drag" on the right side, its where the majority of the military goes and they are very good about not ripping people off.
Do note, that at SOME not ALL phone shops, for the first year you have to go "re-activate" your cell phone every 3 months, which just consists of going back to the store with your ID and phone and they will copy it, and put your phone number on the paper...I guess its their way of making sure you don't move out of the area with your phone???? Not sure. But around a week before your de-activation they'll send text messages (in Korean) so I just go down pre-emotively and have them re-activate it. It is FREE to re-activate.
Arriving into Osan:
As your sponsor will (hopefully) brief you on, Korean cabbies will try and SCAM you.
As you exit the terminal with your luggage, you will be directed to the declaration area. There should be a guy there that will ask "you military?" answer honestly, and he will give you a free cart to put all your crap on, and should hand you a card directing you to the USO. This guy is ok, you can trust him. But ONCE you leave the inside area of the terminal, and exit out to the waiting area, put your guard on, and make a bee-line to the USO.
To get there, as you exit the terminal doors and enter the "lobby" area where people are waiting to pick up their friends/family, take an immediate right. Keep going this way until you run into the very end of the terminal. On the left will be the USO, and you can purchase your bus ticket to Osan. Make sure you have $35 in CASH on hand to purchase your ticket-- this will be re-imbursed when the time comes.
IF ANYONE KOREAN STOPS YOU and asks if you are going to Osan or if you are Military, keep walking. I have a personal friend who took a $500 cab ride to Kunsan, and there was nothing he could do but pay it. The cabbies will do ANYTHING to score a military member into taking a cab to the base. It is close to a 2-hour ride (depending on traffic) to the Base, and NOT a cheap taxi fare.
When boarding the bus to Osan, keep out a copy of your orders and your ID card, everything else (except maybe an iPod or DVD player) you can stash under the bus. Once at the base, they'll check ID's and Orders, then to Terumi Lodge. Here you will have to wait for your supervisor, and get signed in.
Recently, there has been a lot of incoming NCO's that have to stay off-base during in-processing, but that really depends on when you get here. If Terumi is full, you'll take a cab with your sponsor and stay offbase. If your an SrA and below, your supervisor will take you to your room and help you get settled in. Generally, they'll assign a near-by Airman (since your supervisor is almost always a NCO) to help get you to work the next day, or show you where you will be in-processing.
Travelling Off Base
After Inprocessing, I suggest utilizing the off-base bus system to get around to Seoul and Incheon. To get to the Bus Station, just hop in a Osan Taxi and say "Songtan Bus Terminal". To get to the Subway station, just ask "Songtan Metro Station".
I'm a huge advocate for using the Metro, but if you are going specifically to Seoul, catch a $4 bus ticket to the Nambu Bus Terminal, which takes roughly 40mins. The bus terminal is right outside the Nambu doors, and you can take that to any of the Seoul area. The great part of this is you can sleep the whole way and you don't have to deal with drunkards, mama-sans, or not having a place to sit on the Metro while you stop-and-go the entire way to Seoul.
http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/TR/TR_EN_5_1_1.jsp is THE BEST resource you will have while in Korea, in that you can map out your entire trip to where ever you are going...whether via bus, metro, or KTX (bullet train).
Click the "subway" link on the left-hand side, then click THE PICTURE of the Subway Map...for some reason the 'Seoul' button is broken. Once it pops up, click the departing station (Songtan- page 4) then your arriving station. Not only will it give you an estimated arrival time, but also the estimated cost.
Be happy, stay positive, think love

Dare I chime in on this discussion? My dh is at Osan right now. We opted to stay in Utah and do a follow-on to Aviano.
My husband is an E-6 and lives in a previously condemned dorm (they just decided one day that because they need it, that they'd re-open it ) and no one, regardless of their rank, is authorized by the Maintenance Squadron Commander to live off-base.

There will beeee a worldwide march against Monsanto GMO products killing bees May 25 google march against monsanto for info in your area
Im really not that serious
Sorry, can't make it.
Try it. What could happen?
Ole Mac is just having some fun with us (note smiley face). In all seriousness one can certainly make an argument that the use of GMO products with the resulting highly productive and weed free fields is hardly beneficial to bees. But it sure is good for the billions of
people on the planet that like eating.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Ah, got it. I was hoping for an impassioned, holier than thou response. Quite a disappointment.
Try it. What could happen?
Contrary to popular belief, GMO's do NOT produce higher crop yields...
I don't know if anyone says gmos boost yields, but it has more to do with the actual breeding line it's in anyways.
Regards, Barry
> OK, you'll need to copy some of that article here so we can read it.
I'm not a paid WSJ subscriber. But here is a free summary of the piece:
Lets not forget the smileys![Article Summarized by Meridian Institute] In this opinion piece, Robert Paarlberg, a professor of political science at Wellesley College, writes that campaigns by well-fed activists to require the labeling of foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) will take important choices away from farmers and consumers in poor countries. If a mandatory labeling law was enacted in the U.S., says Paarlberg, Americas farmers could likely find an acceptable workaround, as much of the soy and corn grown in the U.S. is employed as feedstock for biofuels or as animal feed, neither of which requires a label. But, he argues, there would be a large downside in poor countries that are moving further along this path. Developing countries, he says, have significant unmet food needs, and GMO food crops could help. Golden rice, which contains vitamin A, could help those in Asia lacking this nutrient; in India, access to GMO eggplant would reduce the toxic exposure farmers and consumers get from pesticides; and, in East Africa, drought-resistant maize would help those farmers vulnerable to hunger and destitution when the rains dont come. But, warns Paarlberg, if America, through a labeling system, joins Europe in embracing a new norm against the cultivation of GMO crops for human food, governments in developing countries, already skittish thanks to activist campaigns, will likely follow suit. The result would be a needless setback for the world's poorest and hungriest people.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Monsanto, Bayer and Syngenta produce the TOOLS farmers need to grow more corn and soybeans. But they do not create the public DEMAND for corn and soybeans. If anti-pesticide activists were sincerely interested in reducing sales of Monsanto et al products, they should have been working to reduce the public demand for corn and soybeans; i.e. they should have vigorously fought the Biofuels Mandate, vigorously promoted major reductions in auto size, weight and engine horsepower and supported reinstatement of the national 55 MPH speed limit. But they are not interested in doing any of that because there's far less money to be made promoting true conservation as compared to waging high profile "Occupy Monsanto" type campaigns. The activists like to claim they are not in it for the money, but their IRS tax returns show otherwise:
I take it that you have a sportsman's license.
While modern agriculture almost certainly has an impact on pollinators, I think that it's exotic pathogens that are the root cause of CCD.
Why blame others for exotic viruses, and other pests and pathogens, that have reached us from the other side of the world?
I blame globilization!

The Big Board: Updated list of Patriots' private workouts and pre-draft visits
|04.04.11 at 12:22 am ET
With the draft now less than a month away, the pre-draft process has shifted from private workouts to on-site visits. Each team is allowed to host up to 30 prospects on official visits as part of the pre-draft process, and we already have a list of official visits to Foxboro we have been able to confirm. (It's important to remember that these visits are usually done to accomplish one of two things. First, it's a way to go in-depth with a potential draft pick, a way to gauge whether or not that prospect would fit your system. Second, there's the real possibility that some of these workouts are bonafide attempts at misdirection, hoping to get another team interested in a prospect simply because the Patriots have feigned interest.)
This is by no means a complete list ' simply a rundown of those we have independently verified:
Miami defensive lineman Allen Bailey
Oklahoma State running back Kendall Hunter
North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin
In addition, it's been reported by multiple outlets the following players will have or have already had official visits with the Patriots:
Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara (NFL Network)
Colorado left tackle Nate Solder (National Football Post)
USC offensive tackle Tyron Smith (National Football Post)
Here's our list of players who have had or will have private workouts or meetings with the Patriots. It should be noted that (as we stated here previously) private workouts are a way for a team to gather additional 'intel,' in the words of one veteran agent. An as is the case with the on-site visit, there's also the chance that a well-publicized workout could be an attempts to get another team interested in a prospect simply because the Patriots have feigned interest.
As is the case with the on-site visits, this is by no means a complete list ' simply a rundown of those we have independently verified:
Hillsdale wide receiver Andre Holmes
Florida offensive lineman Mike Pouncey
Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith
Kentucky wide receiver Chris Matthews
Virginia Tech running back Ryan Williams
Nevada tight end Virgil Green
TCU quarterback Andy Dalton
TCU wide receiver Jeremy Kerley
Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy
Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi
Missouri offensive lineman Tim Barnes
Citadel defensive back Cortez Allen
Miami defensive lineman Allen Bailey
Northwestern defensive lineman Corbin Bryant
Missouri defensive back Kevin Rutland
UTC defensive back Buster Skrine
Hampton defensive lineman Kenrick Ellis
South Florida defensive lineman Terrell McClain
Arizona defensive end/linebacker Brooks Reed
Arizona defensive end Ricky Elmore
Arizona defensive end D'Aundre Reed
In addition, it's been reported by multiple outlets the following players will have or have had private workouts or meetings with the Patriots:
Connecticut running back Jordan Todman (via National Football Post)
Mount Union wide receiver Cecil Shorts (via NEPatriotsDraft.com)
Montana State offensive lineman Mike Person (via Bozeman Daily Chronicle)
Texas Tech quarterback Taylor Potts (via SI.com)
Maryland running back Da'Rel Scott (via SI.com)
Kentucky wide receiver Randall Cobb (via SI.com)
Kentucky running back Derrick Locke (via SI.com)
Colorado offensive lineman Nate Solder (via National Football Post)
Abilene Christian wide receiver Edmond Gates (via multiple outlets)
Fresno State defensive back Desia Dunn (via Fresnostate.scout.com)
Louisville defensive back Johnny Patrick (via ESPNBoston)
South Florida cornerback Mistral Raymond (via ESPNBoston)
Temple defensive back Jaiquawn Jarrett (via National Football Post)

Google Bets On Internet Of Things And Connected Home, Not Just Data From Our Nest
Posted by Frank Gillett on January 14, 2014
Google's acquisition of Nest has stirred a lot of interest and reaction, some of it misguided. After talking to lots of reporters, here are ten quick thoughts on why Google bought Nest and what it means:
1. Google bought Nest for talent and strategic perspective, not products or data. Nest is too small and not scaling fast enough to justify the acquisition. This is about getting a great team that can teach Google about a new market realm, how the Internet of Things comes into the Connected Home.
2. The price is ridiculously high – unless Google gets a huge head start on Connected Home. Google's acquisition of Waze for $1 billion and Nest for $3.2 billion look pricey – but they are strategic bets for the long run, and can't easily be compared.
3. Building the next generation of Google Now is the goal, not snooping on our temps, room locations and smoke alarms. The Nest Labs team will help fuel development of the next generation of Google Now as it shifts more toward proactive assistance and advice.
4. Google's aim is to get an early start on identifying and adding software interfaces (APIs) to Gmail/Google Drive that connect it to smart products. This is not about Android in the home or about a battle for the device OS – it's a battle for whose cloud service platform will coordinate an individual's smart products – and their digital self.
5. Identity, privacy, and security will also crucial in building out the Connected Home. Blanket privacy policies won't be enough. Fatemeh Khatibloo's research on contextual privacy shows the new way that privacy and identity will have to be managed.
6. Google is not becoming a device company, but they are admitting, as they did with the Motorola acquisition, that it helps to have an in-house company modeling the great experiences only possible with an integrated hardware/software/service experience.
7. Nest has its share of product challenges. We've heard of multiple firmware update crashes that resulted in too much or too little heat at very bad times. They do seem responsive to complaints on their Facebook page, where customers have vented concerns about the product and about the Google acquisition.
8. This won't ignite an M&A rush. There aren't many companies or talent available for acquisition, not at the level of Nest. Two I would call out as very interesting: SmartThings, in Virginia, is building a home hub to link together disparate smart products and connect them to it's cloud service platform. I spoke to the CEO, Alex Hawkinson, last week at CES – they've got 5000 developers on their platform already. The other is Withings, in France. CEO Cédric Hutchings leads a team that has built software interconnects with dozens of services for the results from their body scale, blood pressure cuff, and activity monitor.
9. It's notable that Google has taken two big steps in Connected World in the last two weeks. On January 6th Google and partners announced the Open Automotive Alliance (OAA)– the opposite of what I think it will do with Nest, in that OAA is about embedding Android as an OS in the car for infotainment systems.
10. Google's competition? Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon will want a role to play in the Connected Home. Carriers and telcos already have expanded from competing with security monitoring companies such as ADT into smart home offerings such as Comcast Xfinity Home, Time Warner Cable's Intelligent Home, or Home by SFR in France. And AT&T's Digital Life offering is building on open standards and protocols to integrate with products from many companies, not just their own. Forrester is also familiar with home insurance companies that aim to offer services and products to help with the Connected Home – and reduce insurance claims. So it will be a very complex set of competitors.
What do you think?
What are your questions for Forrester about the Internet of Things and Connected Home?
What's next for Nest Labs Inc.?
Comment from Fasih Sandhu on Tue, 01/14/2014 - 19:28
Nest says that in 2014 the Nest Protect will integrate with wired security systems. This is not just a hardware play, though: this also sets up Nest as the single app that can act as a hub to run all your connected home devices.
Another interesting aspect is that Nest did all of the hosting of its solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and it will be interesting to see how quickly Google can put all this on Compute Engine, its public cloud. Nest, along with Snapchat, which already runs on Google, would be among its marquee customers.
What's in it for the market?
Though home automation is certainly in the lime light today; I believe that the next wave will be in the business automation for offices, educational institutions, shopping malls, industrial warehouses, retail distribution centers, and factories in the next decade...An interesting space to watch and witness how Nest Labs Inc. could give a tough competition to the incumbent such as Honeywell!!!

JERUSALEM, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Israel is on high alert following the deadly high sea showdown between the Jewish state and pro- Palestinian activists on board a Gaza-bound aid convoy, which claimed more than 10 civilian lives.
"We raised the security level all over the country," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told Xinhua on Monday.
An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman said earlier that measures have been taken to strengthen security, including closing checkpoints along the border with Gaza.
Israeli communities adjoining Gaza have been ordered to prepare shelters, for fear of a resumption of rocket fire, sources told Xinhua on Monday.
Roads towards the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and other controversial areas were blocked by police, according to a report of local news service Ynet.
IDF units along northern and southern borders were on alert against possible escalations, with off-duty soldiers summoned to their posts.

Nov. 14, 2011
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- UAB quarterback Jonathan Perry has been named one of eight Manning Award "Stars of the Week" for his career-best effort in leading the UAB football team to a come-from-behind win at Memphis over the weekend.
Fans can now go to the Allstate Sugar Bowl Facebook Page and vote for which of the eight performances was the best. Voting closes at 9 a.m. CT on Thursday, and the top vote-getter will be announced as the Manning Award Player of the Week.
Perry set career-highs with 410 passing yards and four touchdowns Saturday in UAB's 41-35 road victory at Memphis as the Blazers won the "Battle for the Bones" for the third straight year.
The sophomore signal-caller from Baltimore, Md., completed 29 of 48 passes and orchestrated the largest fourth-quarter comeback in UAB history with the Blazers overcoming a 35-17 deficit to start the final period.
Perry's previous career-high for passing yards was 327, and he matched that in the second half alone against the Tigers. He finished the game with 457 yards of total offense, the third-highest total in school annals.
The other "Stars of the Week" are: Western Michigan's Alex Carder, Baylor's Robert Griffin III, Washington State's Connor Halliday, Northern Illinois' Chandler Harnish, Kansas State's Collin Klein, Georgia's Aaron Murray and TCU's Casey Pachall.
The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in 2004 to honor the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning.
Perry leads the Blazers into another rivalry game this week when UAB welcomes Southern Miss to Legion Field for a Thursday night contest. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. CT with the game to be televised by CBS Sports Network.

Increasingly, those who read my blog are dipping at least a toe or two into the waters of collaboration, and so I thought to tell people, old friends and new ones, what I have been doing most recently.
Being Useful
I want cooperation from people with abilities I don't have and so I help worthwhile people with what they need, drawing on my strengths.
Okay, truth be told, I actually enjoy helping people, whether it be with SEO basics, WordPress issues, or what I am mostly doing: lean startup team-building and social media tool creation, and just plain getting things made.
I have to get tools made and live, whether they are instantly profitable or not. I have come to understand that what people know me for is know-how that they don't want to pay for, and any way you slice it, is not going to produce a level of revenue that will allow me the freedom to continue
taking my own ideas and those of collaborators, refining them together, and then bootstrapping their creation and launch.
Blogging, the ins and outs of crowdsourcing, proprietary technology securing for light startups, CMS, syndication, curation, aggregation, aggravation, blogger character assassination: we've talked on this, whether you consider "talking" the ideas going around on my blog and comments or in a G+ Hangout or my favorite communication channel (figure this one out, why don't you?), the discussions are plentiful. Seven days/week for me, in fact, I'm talking with people in Japan and worldwide, trouble-shooting each others' plans and crowdfunded launches, and so on.
What really floats my boat, however, is the 1+1+1=5,000 math of starting up and creating new things, drawing on the varied abilities of tiny creative teams: ultralight startup initiation. I am now mainly working on a few projects (I am not at liberty to provide specifics) which at least aim to be fun and useful, innovative social media tools. We are taking each others' hair-brain "got part of it/stuck on the…"-type ideas, refining them together, creating visualizations to facilitate our understanding of what we are refining our projects into, and then
Bootstrapping Web Apps
Specifically, the projects range from…
- Ronald de Block's Facebook Fanpage ebook's introduction, re-branding and marketing
- zero-cost performing artists' summer festival (North Carolina Coast)
- IdeasWatch.com user experience and community building
- the creation of a content sharing site tag optimization tool
- and even a darkly comedic site that will showcase and celebrate a growing, vibrant, ever-changing and community-nominated selection of only the most mind-bogglingly imbecilic bloggers ever to pollute the blogosphere (what, you thought I was "nice?" Wrong guy, wrong blog.) Our scope is wide; we may not need to look beyond Triberr, however.
- and a couple other facebook games and mobile apps that are so, so hot, I wont even hint at what our mad scientists aim to release into the atmosphere…
These projects are fun, working on them is a joy (even when headaches and hickups arise) and they all aim to bring people together, and do something fairly good.
We don't get involved in projects we can't feel good about bringing into existence. What's more, I find that I am usually the loud-mouth who insists that we at least offer to
Showcase the talents of every single person who contributed substantially to the realization of what we create.
And credit their asses publicly.
This is something I see scant little of, and something I believe to be important. We know that we will not make money with everything we build and launch. We don't accept your work, however, without finding a way that we all feel good about – to CREDIT YOU properly for your contributions, whether they be short or long-term involvements.
If we're talking regularly, you know it is you who I am thrilled to be working with. I am sleeping less and less – yet more and more energetic and creative, and it do think you are the cause of this trend. You are more visual than I am, and so I just flip when I see the logos and wireframes you come up with. My temperature rises when php, .net and JAVA backend people read a specs document and show us other things that they could also do that would enhance the features we will provide to our site users. I appreciate the chance to work with people whose brains are wired much differently than my own – and
we each see light at the end of tunnels that we wouldn't have even approached on our own.
We stumble, we redefine the scope and aims of projects sometimes (ouch!), and we learn from the little perks as well as the little pains.
Albert Einstein said that that's okay: "a person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
I wonder what Einstein would have thought of FAQs? I love working with a web director and user experience colleague who remarked, on my addition of an FAQ link on the top page of one of our sites being developed, "no instructional videos, no FAQs. These are evidence of design ineptitude."
Albert probably would have sided with Michal; we know him also for "intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them."
Do you have half a cockamamie idea for a social media tool, a Facebook learning game, cloud-based education or translation system, but perhaps not all the skills to do it all yourself? If you actually care more about getting it made soon, and done very professionally, then get talking with us, and let's see where our synergies are strongest.

Tesla's Elon Musk Dumps on Fisker, Calls Karma a "Mediocre Car at a High Price"
Brandon Hill
August 18, 2012 8:04 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
There's still some bad blood between Elon Musk and Henrik Fisker
Just a few hours ago, Fisker Automotive announced that it
was able to determine the cause of the latest fire
that destroyed a Karma hybrid/electric sedan. Now, we've learned that Tesla Motors/
Space X
CEO Elon Musk is jumping into the fray to kick Fisker Automotive while it's down in an interview with
Automobile Magazine
. It should be noted, however, that Musk and Fisker Automotive founder Henrik Fisker have a rocky past (
read this article
for some background information).
Musk was somewhat diplomatic when talking about the Karma's styling, noting, "It looks good. Particularly from the side it looks good. I don't love the front. It looks too much like a caricature of a Mexican Bandito—the grille."
But the emphasis on over-the-top styling lead to one of Musk's main criticisms of Henrik Fisker and the Karma sedan. "The fundamental problem with Henrik Fisker — he is a designer or stylist… he thinks the reason we don't have electric cars is for lack of styling. This is not the reason. It's fundamentally a technology problem."
In other words, the Karma is all style with little substance.

Musk goes on to state that the voluptuous bodylines of the Karma make for an oddly packaged vehicle. For example, despite the fact that Karma weighs as much as a full-size SUV (5,300 lbs) and is nearly 200" long, it has very little cargo capacity and can only seat four people.
Although Musk doesn't allude to the Model S in this section of the
Automobile Magazine
interview, the
Model S is faster
, features both a front and rear trunk, and can seat five people in its base configuration. The Model S can also seat up to seven with optional rear-facing jump seats installed in the cargo hold (Elon Musk has five children and
wanted to be able to transport them all in the Model S
Musk also took Fisker to task over outsourcing much of the development of the Karma to other companies (most of the development for the Model S was done in-house). "He outsourced the engineering and manufacturing. But the fact is…that's the crux of the problem. And he's outsourcing to people who don't know how to solve the problem."
Elon Musk and the Tesla Model S [Image Source: AutoEvolution]
Given the two reported fires involving the Fisker Karma (including the
most recent fire which
was caused by a third-party supplier's cooling fan) along with the
replacement of battery packs
, we're sure that Musk is probably patting himself on the back.
To sum up his thoughts on the Karma, Musk proclaimed that the vehicle is "a mediocre product at a high price." The Fisker Karma starts at $95,900 while the entry-level Model S starts at
and can hit
for the "Signature Performance" version.

Plumbing vent flashing
OK, we're finally going to get some decent weather this weekend, so I'm hittin it hard starting Sunday. After I tear off the roof, replace a few sheets of plywood and get the underlayment situation in order, it'll be time for some vent flashing.
My choices are lead or the Oakly rubber/aluminum combo. I know lead lasts longer, but how hard is it to work with? Do they size it pretty close to the vent pipe size? In other words, do they sell 2", 2.5", 3", as different sizes? If so, then I need to climb up there before I start to get the correct measurements (the flashing was the one thing I forgot to order).
What about the Oakly? I like that because I've worked with it before, but I don't like the idea of the rubber drying out. If I go that way, I'm going to fashion a sheet metal flashing to slide down and act as a sunguard. Kind of like a Vietnamese cooley hat with the middle cut out slid down to an inch or so above the rubber.
And finally, when I install the flashing, I know I put down a square piece of Ice and Water damn, then mail down the flashing. Do I put any sealant under the flashing? Roof Cement? Geocell? Walrus Jizz? Anything? Or is the I&W enough along with the slope of the roof. I'm familiar with the way to cut the shingles in when I shingle around it....I've seen the pictures over at Roofing.com of the right way and wrong way.
Any thoughts or insights are appreciated.
When you order your boot flashings, you must measure the interior diameter of the intended pipe to be flashed.
Most roofing and plumbing supply houses carry the lead in exact inch increments. The Oatey brand that I have seen only comes in 3" or 4", which are the most common ones needed.
Both the rigid rubber and the lead flashings just slide on the pipe.
If it is a PVC pipe and will have a smooth surface, the oatey rigid rubber ones will slide on smoothly. If you choose this type, trace a line aroun the pipe where the top portion of the flashing will be sealed to the pipe. Remove the flashing now and then install a high qualit sealant about a half inch higher than the traced line around the circumferance of the pipe. Do this when you are ready to install the flashing; ie. when you have the shingles installed up to that point. Then slide the flashing over the pipe and it will seal from the caulking slightly above the final resting position. Your rain shield idea is worthwhile, and they sell those at plumbing heating supply centers, but they are not a tight fit and will need to be caulked too, so why bother.
If it is a cast iron plumbing pipe, the beaded seam would slightly pust the rubber flashing away an prevent a completely tight seal.
When installing a lead flashing, they say to where gloves, so as not to have direct contact with the lead. You can tell that most of us roofers have not heeded that advice. Measure about 4" above the top of the pipe and GENTLY score the lead around the circumferance. Repeat lightly a second time if you barely scratched through the lead. Once it is scored sufficiently, you should be able to tear the lead along this line, or else keep using your stanley straight blade to score until it is completey through the lead.
Be careful. A slight slip can cut deeply with that sharp blade.
The Ice and water shield should only go on the left, right and top sides of the flashing. I would not apply caulk under the flashing flanges, but if you do, then DO NOT apply it under the bottom flange of the flashing, as any condensation from the pipe sweating would have no place to exit from and remain trapped under the flashing and eventually under the roofing materials.
This is way too Dang long of a response post for a pipe boot flashing instrruction!!! :eek: :whistling2:
Long but appreicated! I think I've apprenticed under you for this roofing project, I thank you for all the input.
When I got this place, the vents were terminated in the attic space. I knew this was wrong and punched them through. Then I put in flashing that had the rubber boot, but was galv. instead of aluminum. Anyway, I put roof cememt all the way around...and since I've been gearing up for this roof and reading everything I could about roofing, I had a feeling that was wrong to do.
They didn't have lead flashings at the biggest supply house around (B&L Wholesale) when I asked today. They actually looked at me like I asked for someting crazy. I guess they don't get much call for it. Instead they had the alum/rubber boot version so I guess that's what I'll be using. They had the Smart Vent, so I loaded up on that good stuff. They were the only ones around with any decent amount in stock.
Thanks again!
if you don`t caulk all 4 sides of the bottom flashing,you will be liable to wind driven rain,you don`t get much /if any condensation between the pipes that I would worry about it more than wind driven rain
It's a 4/12 roof and the bottom of the flange would be 8 to 10 inches at least from the pipe, so it would be hurricane winds.
I guess I could do something like this:
I don't know...I'm leaning towards very little if anything on the bottom edge.
I never caulk any of the sides of the flashings.
But I do take a square piece of Grace Ice and Water Shield and use a hammer and gently tap out the pattern of the interior circumferance of the plumbing pipe. Then I gently slide the Ice and Water Shield down to stick to the deck.
The reason I tap out the interior is so that when I slide it down to the deck, there is a little excess membrane which will stay slightly off of the decking and remain tight to the pipe.
water that gets blown in gets over the top of the cut shingle and down behind the rest-more common on a 4 on12 than a steeper pitch roof check the MCGRAW/HILL CONSTRUCTION manual of pipevent flashing details,there is less chance of a problem w/the I&w in place around the pipe,but water that gets in will eventually rust out the nails below the pipe-tyoically w/the I&W we mark the pipe exterior,make several diagonal cuts (like fingers),pull it down over the pipe,and then cut a 2"wide by 1" longer than pipe circumference,and wrap it tight to the base of the pipe at the roof-around the fingers

HYDE PARK, Thursday—The Christmas Season is with us again and two of my friends have sent me prayers which I would like to pass on to my readers. One was marked a "Cordelia Murphy original" and is done in most beautiful script. It is headed, "Prayer for a Home."
Grant all who dwell herein a deep content;
Let guests who come know hospitality Which, in its warmth, is so sincerely meant.
And folk rejoicing share a gladder day
Within its walls, through all the happy years—
For these, O Lord, in friendliness we pray.
Another friend sent me a much more personal prayer and one, perhaps, we would like to keep where we can glance at it each morning.
"Please, God, our Father, let us thank you for all that is good, true, and beautiful in this Thy universe. Please, God, guide and bless the United States and the United Nations, bless all efforts to achieve peace with justice and freedom and guide those who work for these ends. Forgive us our faults, and if a personal prayer is permissible, grant guidance and protection to all those whom we love.
"May we grow in faith and understanding, and give us work, wherever we may be, which may benefit our community and the world so that we may prove the value of democracy and grow more worthy of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Above all, dear God, relieve us of our fears. Give us faith in ourselves and faith in one another, so that we may build a world in which the Four Freedoms are possible."
I hope you will like these prayers as I have and that you will consider them as my Christmas message to all of you who read my column. This is a blessed season and there is nothing in literature more beautiful than the story in the Scriptures of the coming of Christ to earth. It is symbolic, perhaps, that He came as a baby needing love and protection, for all of us need love and protection.
At this season of the year, hearts are warm and overflowing with wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year which we extend to all we meet, and I hope the wishes can be translated into acts that will bring to those whom we can reach some greater happiness and comfort throughout the year.
