Perfectly Packaged in New England
Candlelite Inn • Bradford, NH
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Room
- Daily Full Seasonal Breakfast
- Tanger Outlets Tilton Savings Booklet and Shopping Snack Pack
- Gift-Wrapping Supplies and Snacks at the Inn
As the minutes tick toward the holidays, your shopping list grows by the second. Avoid letting the clock catch you off guard with this Escape to the Candlelite Inn, where outlet shopping and wrapping supplies are the only miracles you'll need this season.
Located in Bradford, a historic town in the Lake Sunapee region of New Hampshire, the Candlelite Inn captures New England's character with its Victorian architecture and cozy atmosphere. At the inn—named Yankee Magazine Travel Guide's Editor's Choice in 2006—you and a companion will spend two nights in a Standard Room and receive daily full seasonal breakfast, a savings booklet to Tanger Outlets Tilton, a shopping snack pack, and gift-wrapping supplies and snacks ($221).
Once you've made yourself at home on three acres of Lake Sunapee countryside, you'll be just in time for a hot glass of cider. Next, check in to your room, fit with a queen-size bed draped in handcrafted quilts, then leave Father Time behind as you luxuriate in your antique claw-foot tub.
Start your morning with a delicious seasonal breakfast, then hit the shops at the Tanger Outlets in Tilton with your savings booklet. An included shopping snack pack will give you plenty of energy to carry those brimming bags from store to store.
After a marathon day of retail therapy, a selection of gift-wrapping supplies and evening snacks awaits back at the inn. Equipped with everything from scissors and tape to baubles and bows, you'll be ready to tackle the season in style by the time you finish embellishing your presents.
More adventure awaits just a stone's throw from the property, where three state parks—Mt. Kearsarge, Rollins, and Wadleigh—boast miles of hiking and biking trails. For a taste of the region's finest vintages, head 30 minutes north to Danbury's Haunting Whisper Vineyards. Antiquing is also popular in the Lake Sunapee region, so ask your hosts for suggestions in the area.
Wrap up your holiday to-do list while unwinding in the countryside—this New England Escape is a timely gift in its own right.
"From the moment we walked in the door, we knew we had picked the right place. A cozy fire was going in the breakfast nook, the smell of freshly baked cookies was in the air, and we were greeted with a smile. Breakfast was fresh and delicious."-- TripAdvisor

The Yellow Fairy Book HTML version
The Editor thinks that children will readily forgive him for publishing another Fairy
Book. We have had the Blue, the Red, the Green, and here is the Yellow. If
children are pleased, and they are so kind as to say that they are pleased, the
Editor does not care very much for what other people may say. Now, there is one
gentleman who seems to think that it is not quite right to print so many fairy tales,
with pictures, and to publish them in red and blue covers. He is named Mr. G.
Laurence Gomme, and he is president of a learned body called the Folk Lore
Society. Once a year he makes his address to his subjects, of whom the Editor is
one, and Mr. Joseph Jacobs (who has published many delightful fairy tales with
pretty pictures)[1] is another. Fancy, then, the dismay of Mr. Jacobs, and of the
Editor, when they heard their president say that he did not think it very nice in
them to publish fairy books, above all, red, green, and blue fairy books! They said
that they did not see any harm in it, and they were ready to 'put themselves on
their country,' and be tried by a jury of children. And, indeed, they still see no
harm in what they have done; nay, like Father William in the poem, they are
ready 'to do it again and again.'
[1] You may buy them from Mr. Nutt, in the Strand.
Where is the harm? The truth is that the Folk Lore Society--made up of the most
clever, learned, and beautiful men and women of the country--is fond of studying
the history and geography of Fairy Land. This is contained in very old tales, such
as country people tell, and savages:
'Little Sioux and little Crow,
Little frosty Eskimo.'
These people are thought to know most about fairyland and its inhabitants. But,
in the Yellow Fairy Book, and the rest, are many tales by persons who are
neither savages nor rustics, such as Madame D'Aulnoy and Herr Hans Christian

Relationships are formed on trust, they say - and Rihanna seems determined to prove this is true.
The 24-year-old has told friends she is not concerned that Chris Brown has been hanging out with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
Brown, who recently reconciled with Rihanna despite still being on probation for beating her up in 2009, was spotted leaving his home in Los Angeles with model Karrueche on Monday.
They were spotted again later in the same car, reportedly on their way to a studio in Burbank.
It is only a month since Brown broke up with Karrueche so he could get back together with the Diamonds singer.
A source close to Rihanna told HollywoodLife.com: "She [trusts] him and no he [isn't] f**king around on her. And if you really want to know what's up, she never thought this girl was a threat or anything like that.
"If that was Rihanna some years ago, she would have let [Chris] have it. But over time, you grow up."Reuse content

Say: Hi Benjamin! Do you get called Ben a lot?
Think: Ben is so cute! For little boys, I love Benny. Blaise is very mature and grown up, and balances the sweetness of Benjamin. I really like it, even though I don't normally like alliterated names (ex. BB, AA, NN ect.)
These are my daughters Christina Danielle, Abigail Olivia, Rebecca Autumn, Emily Briana, and Michaela Brooke. They go by Krista, Abbie, Becca, Em, and Kaela.(\_/)

Say: Hello girls! My goodness, there are a lot of you!
Think: All quite common, bland names. I love Olivia, like Abigail, Autumn and Emily, but I dislike all the rest. They sound quite 80s to me and just don't stand out at all. Krista, Danielle and Kaela are some of my very least favourite names unfortunately. I also don't see the point in shortening Christina to Krista. Krista seems like a full name to me, and I don't like how her name starts with a C, but her nickname starts with a K. I knew a girl called Cassandra who went by Kaycee and everyone was quite confused why her nickname began with a K. That being said, this set does go together extremely well. While I'm not a fan of it, there's no denying that all the names fit.

Earlier Thursday, Madonna donated 580 tickets to her show in Tel Aviv to members of the Israeli and Palestinian peace camps, who are set to take part in a special tribunal on peace.
The singer met with Israeli and Palestinian peace activists on Wednesday, ahead of her concert in front of an estimated 30,000 fans in Tel Aviv on Thursday.
Madonna, who has termed her show a "peace concert," met with activists including veteran journalist Ron Pundak, and Yariv Openheimer, director of Peace Now, and pledged to talk about peace from the stage at the Ramat Gan Stadium.
Pundak told Haaretz that aside from Jewish peace activists, "there will be many Palestinian and Arab-Israeli activists" at Madonna's show.
However, not all the groups were excited about the prospect of accepting the pop icon's invitation.

For as long as I can remember, I have been in the company of family and friends with an extraordinary visual presence. The combination of growing up in Europe, having a mother with a career in the design world and being lucky enough to travel and experience things first hand had a lasting impression on me and I became almost instantaneously attracted to visual decoration of both the individual and the home. My work echoes my innate love for high fashion, which is exemplified in my sleek contours, strong silhouettes and subject matter. My drawing style introduces a clean, modern edge to traditional surfaces; to me, it's not about one single feature of a drawing, it's about the feeling a piece evokes as a whole. A work of art is made more meaningful when there is an intimacy shared by both the artist and the audience- my goal as an artist is to create something that is both visually and physically engaging, something that ultimately embodies my passion.

It is very close to the Evansville airport. Great for making an early morning flight. The hotel has an indoor pool in the lobbie. A ton of kids were there for a soccer tournament. They were having a blast. Needed to have any early night and heard some noise from the hall.
Room service was amazing, the people were all very nice and accommodating. Maybe there should be a certain time that kids have to get out of the pool so that any adults that want to go for swim can? We couldn't get in the hot tub or pool during our stay because there were kids already in them.
The rooms were clean, beds comfortable and the overall appearance was great. Nice band in the bar area and breakfast was enjoyable. Rooms did not have a mini-fridge, only had 1 chair and the balcony had a great view but no chairs to sit in while enjoying the common are from the balcony.
Comfortable beds. Convenient. Showers were cold in the morning....I heard other people talking in the hallway about this as well. Worst part of all is the fitness center!!!! They have an elliptical and a treadmill. That's it. For a hotel who hosts business functions they need to step it up! Working out while traveling is important to me and that is the worst hotel gym I've ever seen.
Very good value
Very quiet and very posh
They got me out of bed to go to the front desk due to an error in their system which could not wiait until the next morning. This was the second time that same evening after they told me that the problem was resolved. I did not appreciate having to get out of bed and and go to the front desk. Tom
The breakfast was decent. Lots of choices- eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, potatoes, yogurt, cereal, waffles. All was okay- nothing out of this world- but it was free and it serves it's purpose. Late check out was nice since we were up so late moving rooms. The room was very hot and the air conditioner wasn't working. It took over 2 hours and two phone calls to get someone to repair it. The bathtub was filthy and had a major leak that you could hear outside the bathroom. We noticed at 10pm that we had major ants in the room- swarming the desk and bed. We called to change rooms and we had to move a toddler at 11pm at night to a different room on a different floor. Pool was too small for the amount of guest rooms- there were over 30 children in the pool and it was full. Rooms were not clean- we were checking the room to make sure we had all of our belongings and we found another guests' trash. It is just gross.
The location was Perfect! Just off the highway. The rooms are paper thin, you can hear people just walking by in the hall, their actual footsteps. Thankfully, we didn't have anyone purposefully being loud near us the night we stayed.
It was new and very clean, staff was very friendly. Breakfast was ok, the cinnamon rolls were the best!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This hotel has recently been updated. It is very modern and everything was so CLEAN! The kids loved the swimming pool and I loved the fitness room. The breakfast offered was fabulous and the eating area was so spacious that you did not feel like you were sitting on top of others like at typical hotels. We had several families together and we all were all able to sit at breakfast together with room for many, many others. I highly recommend this hotel. Would definitely stay here again when returning to visit family.
Will definitely recommend this hotel to friends and relatives. A very nice stay.
Location was the key factor. The room was fine for the one night we stayed. No

Hotel staff (from the desk to housekeeping) was very friendly. Breakfast was very good.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The staff was so friendly and understanding with our teenagers. We will be back.
New hotel, everything fresh, well thought out, and well laid out. Breakfast area especially was nicely arranged and very clean throughout. single elevator for a hotel of this size (altho only 3 stories) was kind of borderline adequate, but that may have been because the weekend crowd was so large
Friendly, helpful staff. Clean room No place to hang my clothes; powdered eggs
Friendly helpful staff.
Location was good for us. Room was what we expected having stayed there before. We like the property. We have family in the area and stay there often Our room was not serviced after the first night of a 2 night stay even though we were out all day. When we checked out of our prepaid room my card was charged but I caught that error b4 I left but had a feeling it was still going to be an issue. It was
The AC worked well. Day shift employees were pretty friendly. Night desk employee was meh. Hole in the ceiling where the smoke detector originally was. Three sizable spiders on the walls before I dispatched them. Microwave just sitting unplugged in the vanity area.

Price and location Not even vacuumed. Chipped paint, paper towel taped to the wall as a door stop/protector. Carpet coming unglued from wall, horrible paint job, ceiling beginning to fall down over bed.
The price was reasonable for the quality. The bed was average. The staff were polite and helpful. The pool appeared clean and clear. The neighbor hood was in decline. The hotel needed painting, the toilet was loose to the floor, the door was difficult to open. The breakfast was skippy but the cost was only 55. There was an odor in the room.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Nothing. Leaving it was the best part. Ceiling pealing, bathtub brown, rickety desk and chair, stains all aver chairs.
The host was very understanding and patient.The hotel was clean and a decent size. The water was not hot so i didn't shower before i had to check out because the water was cold.

Carefully follow the instructions which came with the Intel CPU and also the Read, Comprehend and follow the directions in the MB Manual. The Intel Fan, Heat-Sink, Paste, Assembly, etc., are all sized for the particularly CPU you purchased. When Assembled Together PROPERLY, They Will Function Properly.
Rick P.
the fan is very crappy when i go to screw one side down the other side pops off whats the deal?
Your are are trying to assemble the components together in the case and are not under-supporting the MB properly.
Check for a broken plastic foot.
If broken, Call INTEL Support and Ask for a COMPLETE NEW HS/Fan Assembly plus Paste. GET ALL FREE.
Rick P.
ok got the cpu to a nice stable 30 instead of 70 ok now heres the problem i cant get the cdrom to stay in the computer it keeps ejecting and wont let me load the operating system what do i do?
ok somehow the cd drive was hitting i took it out of the case a little and it seems to be working now windows is installing as i type
Sounds GOOD. Take your time when making your BUILD.
Notice you didn't spec CASE out in above parts list.
I always suggest that the Builder choose a FULL TOWER ENCLOSURE.
MUCH, MUCH EASIER to work with especially for new Builders plus plenty of room for future expansion.
Best Regards,
Rick P.
Yes, that is a NICE Mid Size Tower Case.
I like the fold down / out MB side.
That is why you were probably having a little trouble supporting the MB while installing the CPU fan assembly.
That side plus the MB has a little "give" in it when pressing down and twisting.

Opinion: From Gun Control to Paid Sick Leave, Progressives Don't Wait for Washington
If you're fighting for workers' rights or to strengthen sensible gun laws, you might not feel at home on Capitol Hill. Which is why more and more progressive advocates are taking their fights local - pushing city and state governments to take action on progressive legislation where DC can't or won't. And like their conservative counterparts who have employed this strategy for decades, liberal advocates may soon see real progress.
With a Tea Party Congress that won't consider the American Jobs Act, won't even consider an overdue hike to the minimum wage (or pegging increases to the cost of living to avoid such debates) and has shown a willful indifference toward the needs of the other 99 percent, we can't expect Washington to take the lead on helping out our working families.
Fortunately, for once, progressives are learning from a conservative example and looking to take strides at the lower levels of government: the State House, when they can, or even City Hall, when they have to. That's the strategy that has pushed legislation advocating for paid sick leave front-and-center in New York City… which could help catapult it into the national conversation.
By large margins, New Yorkers are in favor of requiring employers to provide paid sick leave. The City Council, reflecting that feeling, is ready to vote for a modest bill that would give working families that level of safety and support; and the Council has enough votes to override Mayor Bloomberg who has stated his intent to veto such legislation. However, Speaker Christine Quinn - a Mayoral hopeful who is walking a delicate balance beam right now - refuses to bring the bill to a vote.
Today, a coalition of progressive groups is targeting Quinn on this issue. In the past few weeks, the pressure has mounted: first Gloria Steinem called on Quinn to allow the vote; then Susan Sarandon, a Quinn celebrity surrogate who was called out to defend the speaker, received a Twitter education on the issue and joined the call for progress. Today's action is a mix of local groups like the Working Families Party and national actors like MoveOn -- a blend of traditional community-based grassroots and online Netroots.
What makes the coalition interesting is that it shows this isn't just a local issue. When there is smart, progressive legislation on a local level, that should be of national interest to the progressive movement.
Conservatives knew that starting with local victories was a way to build the groundwork for larger legislative successes, which is why ALEC was such a success. Until its 15-minutes of infamy following the controversy around Stand Your Ground laws, ALEC had quietly built its reputation by playing Johnny Appleseed to Conservative laws - traveling state to state, giving the lawmakers the seeds they needed. Other conservative groups - from anti-choice organizations to anti-immigrant campaigns - have used the same model.
Of course, paid sick leave isn't the only progressive campaign to try to duplicate these efforts. Following the recent shooting in Aurora - and now compounded by Sunday's shooting in Wisconsin that left seven people dead - gun control is once again gaining steam as a progressive issue. Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a bipartisan coalition of more than 700 U.S. mayors formed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, is pushing on the gun control agenda in ways Washington will not.
Hours before news of the Wisconsin shooting emerged, Mayors Against Illegal Guns released a national television commercial featuring survivors of the 2011 Tuscon shootings that left six people dead and 13 others wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
When Washington can't work, we bring the battles closer to home.

@skrapp138Locale: Between the Rockies and the Sierras
I'm debating doing an overnight hike this weekend in the Big Sur area (I'm coming from the south – so anything from San Simeon to Carmel is fine).
I'm craving a hike amongst the redwoods and near the coast and to avoid too much of the exposed heat of the upper elevations – and I'd like to avoid the traffic to Sykes Hot Springs. I'm up for anything between 12-24 miles round trip.
Does anyone know of a good overnight hike they can recommend? I'd be open to 2 nights (with a short first day)….Jul 16, 2013 at 2:19 pm #2006782
Kevin BurtonBPL Member
@burtonatorLocale: norcal
trails are rough in that region. There are very few (if any) loops to do that many miles. Further. all the trails go away from the ocean so you lose the redwoods pretty fast.
I haven't really looked in a while though so maybe you have better luck than I did.Jul 16, 2013 at 2:30 pm #2006788
Forget about the miles. Get on the pine ridge trail and hile down to ventana or barlow. Start exploring up or downstream on the big sur river. You will need swim through some canyons. You will stay nice and cool, you wont see any other people, and you will experience a beautiful river canyon lined with redwoods.
The little sur river is nice too. Go to botchers gap and walk down to picco blanco boy scout camp and follow the trail to jackson camp. If you are up for a challenging cross country trek you can follow the trail markers up jackson creek up to the window.Jul 16, 2013 at 3:27 pm #2006808

+1 to visit Ventana Camp. That was always my favorite "official" camp along the Pine Ridge Trail. Not very far in at all, but the ~1 steady descent/ascent in and out of camp from the main trail discouraged lots of folks from heading in there. Great camps, beautiful redwoods, excellent swimming holes, etc. Plus, like Justin said, you can go explore off trail, either up/down the Big Sur River or venture up Ventana Creek which joins the Big Sur River just downstream of Ventana Camp. Neat area.
Another, more southerly option if you want to stay on trail is to look into a couple of the trails out of the Salmon Creek Station area. You can follow the Buckeye Trail to the Cruikshank Trail or follow the Salmon Creek trail upstream. The southernmost stand of redwoods can be found along Villa Creek camp just off the Cruikshank trail, if my memory serves me. These trails are generally nice, stay close to the coast and have access to redwoods/creeks. There's ways to make loops out of them but they all take you farther inland and high up where things will be hot hot hot.Jul 17, 2013 at 11:32 am #2007111

@skrapp138Locale: Between the Rockies and the Sierras
Thanks for the recommendations – they actually both sound really nice!
I am a little worried about the poison oak in the Ventana area (I've never gotten poison oak before – so I've always wondered if I'm one of the rare ones that don't get it….but I'm always nervous to find out! Ha!). Sounds like the Pine Ridge Trail to Sykes is pretty clear, but in looking online sounds like Ventana is used much less…so may just have to wait and see how the conditions are when I get there.
Does anyone know if Mosquitoes are a concern in this area?
I'm thinking I may just do a 2nd night and do a night in the Salmon Creek area the following night since they're both pretty low milage hikes.Jul 17, 2013 at 9:06 pm #2007261

I did a quick trip in and out of sykes last friday afternoon/sat morning. There were a moderate number of mosquitoes late afternoon in Redwood camp, and some a Sykes before / around dusk, but no problem after that. I didn't bother setting up bug netting and don't get a bite in the evening / night.

As previously mentioned, be ready for poison oak and ticks. Many trails aren't well cut either. Pine ridge to Sykes is well defined though.
If you're just looking for something quick and coastal, Point Reyes or Skyline to the Sea are much better in my opinion.
Sorry, I'm a little bitter about Big Sur after I lost a backpack off a cliff there.

E. R., skip sykes, it's just ruined, particularly during summer months. If you have good range / time you can hit Redwood camp, which is usually fairly empty, that's above sykes, and is the last redwood canyon you'll be in from the coast, plus you get to see a bit of the high chaparral terrain, but not so much as to be sweltering for too long. If I were to meet up with people on a trip I'd do it at Redwood camp because everyone stops at Sykes, but Barlow is technically better because it's got more options. Redwood however is up fairly high, not at the main river, and it's not really a canyon, just a stream that runs downhill to the main river, so it doesn't feel the same as the river spots.
Barlow if you go up or down stream from where the trail hits it, is really at least 5x better than sykes in terms of most of the things that make a spot nice.
All of these are 10x better than staying at point reyes, which is nice easy walking but really is just a very developed location, where all the campgrounds are over impacted, have picnic tables, pit toilets, bad tasting running water, dirt roads the rangers use to access each official camp, almost nowhere you can try for unofficial camping due to extreme poison oak infestation off most of the trails, nice, but a place I'd only use to get in shape for a real trip at this point. Plus it costs $20 a night or so, and the camp sites fill up in summer, you have to book in advance.
If you are aware of poison oak it's not that big of an issue, and of course, we are all immune to it until we are not, I believe exposure is what triggers the reaction, I never got it until I did, then I got it really bad. Some people need only one exposure, some need many, over years, some apparently never hit the limit at all and are spared.
If you want to maximize your chance of getting poison oak, I suggest walking through it all day to sykes, taking care to brush against the stuff that grows on the sides of the trail, get it on your shoes and pants too, make sure then to wipe your hands on your face too, then going to the hot springs there, where all the oil from all the people who have been in them for the last days is waiting to test your resistance as your pores open wide, that should do it, it did for me one year, which was the last year that I had resistance to poison oak, by strange coincidence. If you don't want to get it, then do the opposite of what I note here.
There are, as noted, ticks, and those ticks do carry lyme disease, permethrine is a wise thing to use on your clothing, and very careful nightly tick checks. A friend of mine from Alaska says he'd rather deal with Grizzlies than ticks, and I think I agree with him now.
Nobody mentioned biting deer flies, those are fun too, but they only hang out in the hotter areas, not in the redwood canyons, except for Redwood camp, because it's surrounded by the hot ecosystem. I've pitched a tent inner to have lunch there to avoid them in the past, they are pretty annoying, but are only around a certain time of year, the hottest.Jul 18, 2013 at 3:04 pm #2007429
Last summer the trail to Ventana Camp was not visible and the way down involved bushwacking through poison oak and thorny plants. We found the trail and it was layered with deadfalls. There was a guy living down there and he said he rarely saw anyone else go down there. The pit toilet was totally destroyed.
Now the trail is totally clear and there are plenty of people down there.
Yes, there is A LOT of poison oak in Big Sur. If you are really concerned I would not recommend hiking anywhere but the most well used trails or following some of the river canyons (poison oak doesn't grown much under redwoods). On some of the more overgrown trails I have seen poison oak at head level.
Luckily I don't get poison oak and I will bust my way through a huge patch of it in shorts and no shirt while my hiking companions stare in horror/amazement. But my main hiking buddy gets it and I look out for him now, and it can be hard to avoid at times.
Only go to Sykes if your idea of a good wilderness experience involves camping in crowded river corridor (sometimes so crodwed that you literally can't find a place to camp unless you have a hammock) with 100-200 other people. It's terrible. Most of Big Sur is remote and few people travel it, most of the crowds are headed to Sykes because they heard of some hot springs on the internet. There is nothing special about the hot springs and you could get poison oak by getting into a wilderness hot tub that's been used by many people.
I'm a wilderness hipster and while the Pine Ridge Trail is an awesome trail, I get uncomfortable walking on it because of all the traffic.
" Sounds like the Pine Ridge Trail to Sykes is pretty clear, but in looking online sounds like Ventana is used much less"
Do you mean Ventana trail? The one going up to the Double Cone? I haven't been on it but I would not recommend it this time of year. It will be extremely hot and I don't think you will find water anywhere. And I have heard of that trail being overgrown.
Nicco, I'm surprised you know about Ventana Creek. It looks so tiny when you first walk by it but it really opens up to a beautiful creek walk. There are tricky log jams to get over but they are concentrated only in a few areas, most of the creek is clear and easy walking. Not far upstream there is a really large flat area to the right that makes a great campsite – good for a quick overnighter. We took doolans hole creek from Ventana Creek and that was a wild trip.
You can actually hike up to the Window from Ventana Creek but I haven't been that far yet.Jul 18, 2013 at 3:39 pm #2007437

@ Justin,
It's been probably 8 or 9 years since I've last been down into Ventana Camp and/or explored Ventana Creek, but I really love that little zone. Sleeping on the sandy beaches along the Big Sur River downstream of the official camp and spending summer afternoons in that amazing swimming hole surrounded by the natural granite amphitheater are fond memories. We'd climb up the cliff face on the south side of the river and cliff jump into the pool, then swim across the pool and lay in the sun, warming on the perfectly scoured lazyboy-like depressions in the granite. Luxury backpacking!
This thread reminds me I should take a trip back there one of these days.Jul 18, 2013 at 7:58 pm #2007492
We actually camped at a very small sandy beach right downstream from Ventana camp, just the perfect size for 2 people. There was a huge swimming hole there. A large tree fell and wedged itself in the canyon about 15 feet above the water so you can jump off that.
If you decide to go back there, send me a message. I am obsessed with Big Sur and want to hike/swim every creek and river.
If you haven't been to the Window, you need to get up there. The journey there is epic and the view from the Window will amaze you, especially if you go in the winter when all of the surrounding peaks are snowed out. It's one of those places that everyone forgot about and it has a lot of history surrounding it.

What is numbness in your foot?
Your feet rely on a sense of touch to pull away from hot surfaces and to navigate changing terrain. However, if you experience numbness in your foot, you may have little to no sensation in your foot.
Numbness in your foot may be a temporary condition or it can be the result of a chronic condition, such as diabetes. The symptom can also be progressive — you may begin to lose some sensation in your foot, then slowly lose more and more feeling as time goes on. Seeking medical advice for numbness in your foot may help to slow or delay its progress.
What are the symptoms of numbness in your foot?
The chief symptom for numbness in your foot is losing sensation in your foot. This affects your sense of touch and balance because you can't feel your foot's position against the ground.
While sensation loss is the main symptom of numbness in your foot, you may experience some additional, abnormal sensations. These include:
- prickling
- pins-and-needles sensation
- tingling
- weak-feeling foot or feet
These additional symptoms can help your doctor diagnose what is causing the numbness in your foot.
What causes numbness in your foot?
Your body is a complex network of nerves that travel from the tips of your toes and fingers to your brain and back. If you experience damage, a blockage, infection, or compression of a nerve that travels to the foot, you may experience numbness in your foot.
Medical conditions that can cause numbness in your foot include:
- alcoholism or chronic alcohol abuse
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
- diabetes and diabetic neuropathy
- frostbite
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- herniated disk
- Lyme disease
- Morton's neuroma
- multiple sclerosis
- peripheral arterial disease
- peripheral vascular disease
- sciatica
- shingles
- side effect of chemotherapy medications
- spinal cord injury
- vasculitis or inflammation of the blood vessels
You may also experience numbness in your foot after prolonged episodes of sitting. This sensation loss — often called going to sleep — occurs because the nerves that lead to the foot are compressed while you sit. When you stand and blood flow returns, your foot may feel as if it's numb. A pins-and-needles feeling usually follows before circulation and sensation return to your foot.
When to Seek Help
When do I seek medical help for numbness in my foot?
Numbness in your foot that occurs suddenly and with other symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, can be cause for concern. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience the following symptoms as well as numbness of foot:
- confusion
- difficulty talking
- dizziness
- loss of bladder or bowel control
- numbness that begins in a matter of minutes or hours
- numbness that involves multiple parts of the body
- occurs after a head injury
- severe headache
- trouble breathing
While not always an emergency, a combination of foot numbness and these symptoms can be a sign of:
- seizure
- stroke
- transient ischemic attack (also known as TIAs)
Make an appointment to see your doctor if the numbness in your foot is causing you to trip or fall frequently. You should also see your doctor if the numbness in your foot is getting worse.
If you have diabetes, make an appointment to see your doctor or podiatrist for foot numbness. Diabetes is a common cause of foot numbness because the metabolic changes can cause nerve damage.
How is numbness in your foot diagnosed?
Diagnosing foot numbness depends upon how severe your symptoms are. A doctor may order a computed tomography (CT) scan if you are having stroke-like symptoms. This allows a doctor to view your brain and identify any blockages or bleeding that could be causing your symptoms.
Your doctor will also take a medical history and ask for a description of your symptoms. Questions asked may include:
- How long does the numbness last?
- What other symptoms do you experience along with the numbness?
- When did you first notice the numbness in your foot?
- When is the numbness worse?
- What makes the numbness better?
After your medical history has been obtained, a physical examination typically follows. Your doctor will most likely examine your feet and determine if the sensation loss impacts one or both feet. Some studies your doctor may order include:
- electromyography, which measures how well muscles respond to electrical stimulation
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study to view abnormalities in the spine and/or spinal cord
- nerve conduction studies, which measure how well nerves conduct electric currents
Additional tests depend upon the suspected diagnosis.
How is numbness in your foot treated?
Treating numbness in your foot is very important because a lack of sensation can increase your risk for foot wounds, trips, and falls. You may experience a cut or injury without knowing it if you cannot sense the foot well. Your wound may not heal as quickly if you have decreased circulation.
Treating the underlying cause of numbness in your foot may help the symptom go away.
Your doctor may recommend seeing a podiatrist at least yearly if you have chronic numbness in your foot. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- inspect your feet regularly for cuts or wounds
- put a mirror on the floor to allow you to better visualize the soles of your feet
- wear well-fitting shoes that protect your feet to minimize your risk for foot wounds
Keeping these precautions in mind can help minimize any other potential problems that can be caused by foot numbness.

- - This **** really has me hating those boys in blue.... (http://www.impalassforum.com/vBulletin/9-misc/232710-%2A%2A%2A%2A-really-has-me-hating-those-boys-blue.html)
This **** really has me hating those boys in blue....
445 Tint ticket guys.....FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE ****ING DOLLARS!!!!
So my younger brothers girlfriend let her aunt drive her car right, so the bitch rear ends someone and I drop my brother out there.
I drop him off and hop out to look at the car and I'm getting angry because I put them under my car insurance and was going to take them off after this week for not paying me.
The "helping" officer starts to walk around my car and look inside so I'm walking back and he says "is this your car?" I say yea and he then replies "your tint is to dark" and I'm like come on man I came out here to drop my brother off man. He goes to get that tint reader and says yup I need your license and insurance papers. I'm to the point of really flippin out on him and the bitch that had the accident because if that didnt happen I wouldn't have to go out there. All he could say was "its for your safety and for me to see in your car" and im like man if you wanna search go ahead I dont have anything illegal in here.
It bothered me so much that when I left I went back and had to get that in that dumb dingy bitch **** and said what I had to say but it still didnt help the fact of the ticket and possible hike in insurance.
Do a good deed and get ****ed huh? Thats how it goes? I never really trust the police but now man that incident really pushed it. In my lifetime I only encountered a couple cops that "seemed" to be stand up people but I can count those people on one hand. SMMFH
ok, Is your tint Darker than legal? If so, you don't have ANYTHING to bitch about.
The tint on my car is well below legal and when and if I get the ticket I'll deal with it.
True, but a $445 fine does seem a little excessive. I would talk to my lawyer and see what he says. If he can't give you the name of a judge to talk to maybe he could at least get the fine lowered to a more realistic figure.
are you sure its not a fixit ticket, and the fine is if you dont show proof of repair?
It's normally just a fix it ticket. At least that's what mine was, and my windows were almost limo tint.
I had nothing to do with the situation nor why would the officer has reason to snoop around my car for? So would you like people snooping around your car as if they were looking for something?
I'd test your **** if I was near you to see how'd you re-act. I understand what your saying but **** still isnt cool and 445 dollars? You pay the **** because I cant afford that maybe if it was like the first ticket i got which was 138 but 445 bucks? Ok.....
I'd love to see how you'd re-act if there was a situation that had nothing to do with you and someone either brings you into or its shifted your way with the outcome being in a negative aspect on your behalf.
Don't know you....dont really care to know you but I'd test you to see what you'd do because 9 times out of 10 I believe you would've said something. Reasonable price isnt 445 when 138 was given before.
Bitch giving me the whole book price to the fullest extent.
Doesn't matter if you were part of the situation, he saw the dark tint, tested it and gave you a ticket. The tint itself is probable cause, just because he walked up to your car instead of driving up with light on makes no difference.
Wether you have the money or not is immaterial.
Grow up and take responsibility for what YOU DID. Did somebody hold you down and force tint to be put on your car against your will? IF so, botch away.
IF NOT, STFU and deal with the results of YOUR ACTIONS.
the cop did nothing wrong^^^ QFTMFT ^^^
but now, you want to hate all the police...?!
cwm5 > you
I agree with both sides on this, but it is ridiculous. You call over a cop so he can "help you" and instead he writes you a ticket.
Its kinda like a cop can sit at anyones car and just wait for them to return to it and give them a ticket, but do they? No.
Im sure many people have something "illegal" about their cars or anything for that matter, but if its not concerning the situation that they were called on the scene for and give you a ticket for something completely unrelated, its kinda stupid and would make me pissed too.
I know it doesnt make any difference where you are, but id probably be a lot happier getting pulled over intentionally for my tint instead of a cop noticing it "just because he can" while hes supposed to be doing something else.
$445 i crazy for tint though! That has to be the max fine for tint. Plead not guilty, dont take the tint off, say its still on it court, ask them you'll pay the fine but ask them to lower the cost.

The Mission
So what, exactly, does the FBI do these days?
Instead of declaring "law enforcement" as its "primary function," as it has for years, the FBI fact sheet now lists "national security" as its chief mission. The changes largely reflect the FBI reforms put in place after September 11, 2001, which some have criticized for de-prioritizing law enforcement activities. Regardless, with the 9/11 attacks more than a decade in the past, the timing of the edits is baffling some FBI-watchers.Budget cuts?
"What happened in the last year that changed?" asked Kel McClanahan, a Washington-based national security lawyer.

High note: The Ford Ranger was again the best-selling light-commercial vehicle in New Zealand last month and it was the second best-selling model overall.
4 February 2016
By JACQUI MADELIN in NEW ZEALAND
BURGEONING light-commercial-vehicle sales continue to bolster the new-vehicle
market in New Zealand, which recorded its best January result on record.
New passenger-car sales dropped 1.2 per cent in January over the same month in
2015, to 8899 units, while light commercials rose 12.7 per cent to 2994. The
overall total was 11,893 – a 1.9 per cent increase over January last year.
Total used-import sales dropped 0.5 per cent to 12,370 in January, with
used-import passenger sales falling one per cent to 11,675 while used-import
commercials rose 7.9 per cent to 695.
SUVs took 33 per cent of the New Zealand new-vehicle market in January,
followed by pick-ups on 18 per cent and small passenger cars on 16 per cent,
three per cent lower than the previous January.
New Zealand's top-selling model for the month was Toyota Corolla with 719 sales
– boosted by 492 rentals – followed by the Ford Ranger (661), Toyota RAV4 (391,
216 of them rentals), Holden Commodore (366, including 195 rentals) and Toyota
HiLux (300).
Following was the Mazda3 (293, 150 of them rentals), Holden Colorado (266),
Mazda CX-5 (243), Nissan Navara (231) and Hyundai Santa Fe (227, including 50
rentals) rounding out the top 10.
Motor Industry Association CEO David Crawford said he did not expect the record
level to continue for the rest of the year.
"While new vehicle sales for 2016 have started where they left off in 2015, the
remainder of 2016 is expected to slightly soften as the year progresses," he
Toyota continues to lead New Zealand sales by a generous margin, although its
January haul dropped by 6.9 per cent to 2243 compared to the same month in
2015, which was itself a 31.6 per cent rise over January 2014.
Toyota NZ general manager sales and operations Steve Prangnell said a lot of
rental volume went into January last year, which did not happen this year.
"We were 60 units ahead of forecast, we're spot-on our runway," he told GoAuto,
adding that he expects the market to ease back this year.
"Fuel prices are down, but it's a double-edged sword. People are less concerned
with the cost of motoring, but it's having a massive global impact on share
Ford benefited from a muscular shot in the arm, with sales rising by 43.5 per
cent, or 438 units, to 1444, thanks in part to interest in the newly-arrived
Mustang pony car.
Ford delivered 130 Mustangs in January and has taken 750 orders, pushing
deliveries for new sales out to September.
The Blue Oval also cited customer interest in its refreshed model line-up,
especially the latest Mondeo mid-sizer and updated Focus small car.
GM Holden dropped 18.1 per cent to 1244 units, but January 2015 had been an
exceptional month for the brand, with numbers up 47.2 per cent over 2014 thanks
to a strong month for rentals.
The car-maker's managing director Kristian Aquilina said he was happy with how
resilient sales have been in the face of some negative economic news.
"We expect some of that will flow through to reduced demand, but so far it's
holding up pretty well," he said.
Mr Aquilina said the New Zealand economy is doing what it should do, which is
helping new-car sales.
"The adjustments that are happening, be it through exchange rates and monetary
policy or other naturally occurring moves, it's working, and it's an example of
a strong and efficient economy in which other areas are picking up and taking
advantage of a stronger situation for them when traditional areas are suffering
from challenging headwinds."
Mr Aquilina was referring to a drop in milk prices, down to $NZ4.60 ($A4.28)
per kg of milk solids – around half the payout of two years ago – which is
making headlines, while less high-profile export segments are doing well, but
he also cited predicted exchange-rate movement which he expects will lead to an
increase in the cost of cars.
Mazda registrations rose 19.1 per cent to 961, while Nissan fell 7.3 per cent
to 725.
Nissan NZ managing director John Manley said supply issues for the Qashqai
crossover were a factor, with the boat filled with stock due to arrive this
Mr Manley said the market was buoyed by rental sales thanks to tourism numbers.
"It's pumping out there, which is sensational,"he said. "Air New Zealand is
talking dramatic price drops on some sectors as a significant part of your
ticket is attributed to fuel costs."
"They talk about dairy pricing, but within the next few yeas wine imports are
expected to reach two billion per year…"
Hyundai dropped 22.4 per cent to 631, and Mitsubishi registrations fell 5.2 per
cent to 560, the brand's first drop in monthly sales over the same month the
previous year for six years.
Mitsubishi NZ head of sales and marketing strategy Daniel Cook said the drop
was caused entirely by stock supply.
"We were short for most of our key models thanks to huge global demand for ASX,
Outlander and Pajero Sport," he said.
Mr Cook also told GoAuto that oversale of Triton in the last quarter of 2015
left Mitsubishi very short on stock, especially of two-wheel drive variants and
added that it should return to normal for February.
He said he does not expect dairy prices to impact sales too much, despite the
media flurry.
"On the one hand you have dairy down something like 18 million, but apple
exporters alone are up around 12 million."
Volkswagen fell 3.9 per cent to 463, while Suzuki sales rose 11.1 per cent to
379 on the back of the new Vitara compact SUV.
Suzuki NZ general manager of motor vehicles Garry Collins confirmed it took 98
sales for the new model introduced in September, with dealers reporting "good
levels of inquiry".
Honda rounded out the top 10, down 4.2 per cent to 341 units.
Overall, LCVs and SUVs are significantly impacting sales by company.
Car-makers such as Suzuki, Hyundai and Honda without a ute cannot play in a
large segment of the New Zealand market, while smaller players with a strong
ute and SUV line-up pull sales from players with a wider range of models on
SsangYong – which sells largely SUVs and utes in New Zealand – saw sales up
26.3 per cent to 202, and Isuzu sold 160 D-Maxes, 60 more than Mazda's BT-50
and 97 ahead of Volkswagen's Amarok.

to bad i aint in indiana i'd run up an se if I could help you out but I'm in arkansas an aint got no plans in going that way for awhile.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
to bad i aint in indiana i'd run up an se if I could help you out but I'm in arkansas an aint got no plans in going that way for awhile.
I think that you have to plug those little plugs into a set of outlets that attach to the machine. Is there a foot or knee controller? One of the plugs controls that, the other is either power or the light. I used to run into these at work every now and then. Not the brand, but the type. If you are unable to locate the controller, you need to order one that has the outlets attached.
Oh Dizzy, I wish we were closer too!! lol!! I'm about one hour north of Indiana, should you ever get this way!
Thanks Tink'sMom! That makes sense! But I don't know how the plugs (that were under the machine) could plug into the thingy on the right side, and have the machine still be able to sit in the bottom part of the case? And the thingys that fell apart (that were under the cardboard lid, on the right side) must have been what they were to plug in to. - that's where the plug wires that go to the outlet plug and the foot control wire are attached to. And the cardboard lid only had one plug in hole, in it.
I am so wishing I had my camera! But I'm guessing this is a lost cause unless I win the Lotto to have it fixed.
I had one over twenty years ago that hooked up some what like that I wish i could remember how it was done.I know the foot an the machine plugs into the little outlet plug.then the outlet plug pluges into the wall.well i guess typing it out helped figure it out.Maybe you can figure it out by what I said there.
I think you're right, Dizzy.
The only problem is the wires, or whatever, fell apart, in the little cubby there on the right side - where I think the two plugs plug in to.
I think I'll have my oldest son see if he can figure out how to put them together again.
Thanks again!
ok dear i wish you lots of luck an hope he can fix it for you.
Thanks Dizzy! :D
Wow This machine I have had for over 43 years and when I go it was several years old. Still sewing on it..............Wonderful.
My friend has an Electro Hygiene just like the one you have pictured, but needs a manual, do you know where he can get one?
The guy in Youngstown has all the parts, and can tell you EVERYTHING about them. He didn't have a manual though. Then, I found mine. I have to scan it to send to the guy in Youngstown, so he has a copy.
Per him, it's better than the majority of things out there, because it is not all plastic. I've read a few things on line, none from people who have worked with them, which are rather condescending. Mine will do some embroidery, and has a variety of stitches. It uses Singer accessories, such as the button hole attachment, and I purchased some presser feet.
I decided I wanted to learn to sew clothing, not just piecing quilts, so I'm taking it to my lesson on the 16th for the instructor to see. I have an inexpensive older one I picked up at a Mennonite Thrift shop in White Horse (Gap). A sewing machine person in the area goes over all the ones donated as his contribution. So, you can pick up an inexpensive one to learn on, to see if you like it, before investing in something really high end, like a Bernina. I use the inexpensive one to piece. After the man's rave reviews. I thought I might be too inexperienced for the Electro Hygiene and all its options, which, compared to today's machines are not excessive, but they are more than the cheap one I'm using.
I'll be interested in seeing what the instructor thinks of it. The one I have was the top of the line model, and I know my aunt would not have recommended it had she thought it a poor machine.
I can give you a copy after I scan it.

De Gea's Time Could Be Up At Old TraffordDave
Manchester United's some time shot stopper David De Gea could well find himself frozen out of the Manchester United team after his latest blunder against Blackburn Rovers cost his side top spot in the league.
Since joining United for a fee thought to be around £18m, De Gea has made a string of costly mistakes, his latest not necessarily a mistake, more a weakness could see Ferguson drop him to the bench for the match against Newcastle United.
De Gea was found repeatedly flapping at crosses and having little to no command of his own penalty area. Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew would no doubt have taken note of that and would be looking to exploit that weakness when his side face Manchester United on Wednesday evening.
Ferguson does have another option at his disposal in 27 year old goalkeeper Anders Lindergaard. The Danish player has 6 clean sheets to his name in just 7 starts for United and will likely find himself back between the sticks on Wednesday evening as he looks to oust calamity stricken De Gea. Time is running out for the young Spaniard.

Comcast's Waiting Game
Is Comcast setting a mouse trap for Walt Disney (DIS )? Scarcely 18 hours after hearing that Disney's board had rejected the cable giant's $48 billion hostile bid, Comcast (CMCSA ) sources were putting out the word that it had no intention of increasing the bid on its own. "We're not going to be bidding against ourselves," one source close to the cable giant tells BusinessWeek Online. "We think we put a pretty fair bid on the table the first time."
Moreover, this source says, Comcast's own internal analysis put Disney's value well below the $30 a share or more that some analysts say it would take to pry the Mouse House loose. "If they think we're going that high, someone is smoking something," says a source with knowledge of how Comcast thinks. "This is a company that hasn't traded higher than the mid-$20s for the last three years, so what makes anyone think it's worth more?"
Those are certainly fighting words. And Comcast's cost-conscious Chairman Brian Roberts has made it clear that he's "a disciplined buyer," ready "to walk away form the deal." Or maybe he's just walking around the block. Analysts who cover Comcast figure it's simply waiting for the news of the Disney board's rejection of its Feb. 11 bid to sink in -- along with its own off-the-record comments that it isn't going to bid higher.
And sure enough: The day after Disney said it was denying Comcast's stock offer because it was $3.60 below Disney's then-trading price, the gap between the two companies widened a bit: Disney's stock price fell by 2 cents, to $26.90, while Comcast's stock rose by nearly 3%, to $30.75. (At the time of the bid, Comcast offered 0.78 of its shares, trading at $33.20, for each share of Disney, which then traded at $24.08).
That original bid valued Disney at $26.47, a 10% premium. Since then analysts have said Disney is worth north of $30 and have hinted that Comcast may have to add some cash to the bid to make it more substantial -- and less risky for Disney shareholders. Merrill Lynch's highly regarded analyst Jessica Reif Cohen, who owns Comcast shares (Merrill in the past has done banking work for both companies) pegged Disney at $32 a share in a Feb. 11 research report.
So the waiting begins. For how long? Veteran media watchers figure Roberts will use Disney's coming Mar. 3 annual meeting (coincidentally in Comcast's home town of Philadelphia) to showcase a new -- and likely higher bid. "That will make the shareholders take note and ask Eisner a lot of questions," says a rival media mogul. "My gut is that they're going to want to see how the market reacts," says Rich Greenfield, an analyst with independent research firm Fulcrum Partners. "And as people start to realize that there aren't a lot of bidders out there, the price will start to come down."
Still, Greenfield feels "Comcast may have to up its bid," a notion that nearly everyone seems to embrace. "When was the last time you saw someone enter a negotiation with a first and last offer," says a long-time associate of Comcast's Roberts. "Brian has saved some in reserve." Comcast doesn't have a ton of cash on its books -- $1.6 billion as of Dec. 31, in fact -- and it's still laboring under nearly $22 billion of debt left over from its acquisition of AT&T's cable systems. So where would it get the added firepower for the deal?
Most likely, Roberts & Co. would increase their bid to something closer to a single share of Comcast for a share of Disney. As for the cash component, they could raise $3 billion alone by selling Comcast's $1.5 billion stakes in Time Warner (TWX ) and Liberty Media (L ), according to Merrill's Cohen, who doesn't expect a "significantly" higher bid. And Comcast could hit up money-rich Microsoft (MSFT ), already a 7% owner, for some cash in return for added stock that comes with a shareholder agreement preventing the software giant from exercising further control.
A Comcast source says the cable company is wary of having Bill Gates increase his stake, but if it's crucial to get the deal done, Comcast would most likely swallow its corporate pride.
The big question: Is the merger really that crucial? Roberts has done about-faces on deals before, notably a bidding contest for Denver-based Media One's cable properties. But back then he got a $1.5 billion breakup fee and a prized Philadelphia-based cable system in exchange for dropping his bid. This time, he's talking up the deal on Wall Street, and in meetings with large Comcast shareholders on both coasts.
Complicating matters for Roberts, Disney Chairman Eisner has his board's support and is showing he intends to keep running his company. Indeed, the day after his board rejected Comcast's bid, Eisner announced the purchase of Kermit the Frog and other characters from Jim Henson Co.
All that could change in the coming weeks, as the Mar. 3 annual meeting draws closer. At that point, by Comcast's reckoning, the difference between the two companies' stock prices will have widened further -- making Comcast's shares even more attractive. And Roberts may well apply added pressure by making his bid even harder to turn down.

SSR partners with private and public enterprises to design, implement, and proactively manage their information technology strategy
There are special circumstances that can alter your IT needs.
For example, securing onsite support when a client is in a remote
location is not a practical solution. Perhaps a customer needs
off-hours maintenance from time to time and an engineer doesn't
need to be onsite. Or a business requires assistance on a repair
right away and cannot wait for a consultant to arrive.
SSR "Network Operations Center" offers the optimum in our remote
engineering and support. When an issue is discovered by monitoring
an environment, our "Network Operations Center" is able to
immediately identify and resolve the problem. SSR engineers can
predict when an issue will occur-such as alerting a client that
disk space might be full. They can then free up that space before
there's an outage in the system.
Daily and weekly backup jobs can also be monitored and verified
for success, to make sure data is protected.
SSR can speed up response time and get the repair finished
off-hours if necessary. No matter where the client is located, SSR

Miners Claim 23 Top-Five Finishes in Season Opener
Jan. 14, 2012
Boise, Idaho - The UTEP track and field teams opened the 2012 season posting 23 top-five finishes on Saturday at the Blue and Orange Opener at the Idaho Center.
"Overall I think it was a good meet," said head coach Mika Laaksonen. "We had a short time to prepare but the team performed very well for the first meet."
El Paso native Matt Dudley was the top finisher on the men's side, taking first-place in the shot put with a mark of 16.95m (55-07.50).
"Matt is going in the right direction," said Laaksonen. "He is improving and getting more consistent."
In the field, newcomer Demetris Elia finished third in the men's weight throw posting a distance of 16.25m (53-03.75). While on the women's side freshman Taylor Gunn took second-place in the women's shot put recording a mark of 13.32m (43-08.50). Gunn also finished fifth in the women's weight throw, 14.22m (46-08.00).
Senior Endurance Abinuwa crossed the finish line second in the women's 60m dash clocking in a time of 7.35, while teammate Yolanda Suggs finished third with a time of 7.56. The women's 4x400m relay team (Janice Jackson, Jallycia Pearson, Abinuwa and Suggs) took third-place posting a time of 3:52.99.
Highlighting the women's hurdle team was Jackson, who took bronze in the 60m hurdles recording a time of 8.66. Teammates Marine Menez and Pearson clocked in a time of 8.84 and 8.99, respectively.
Andres Estrada and Donovant Grant lead the men's long jump finishing in third and fourth, respectively. On the women's side Monica Lopez took second in the triple jump with a mark of 11.39m (37-04.50), while Pearson finished fourth posting a 11.24m (36-10.50).
The Miners distance team finished on top as Elkana Rotich posted a time of 4:14.29 taking second-place and Justice Chirchir crossed the finish line third with a time of 4:16.44 in the one mile run. Solomon Gardea represented UTEP in the 3000m run finishing second with a time of 10:17.86.
On the women's side Risper Kimaiyo took fifth in the one mile run with a time of 4:56.55, while Karina Garcia finished third in the 3000m run posting a time of 10:17.86.
Wrapping up the men's side is Suji Adeniyan and Shane Hamm in the men's 400m dash with a time of 50.10 and 50.28, respectively.
The Miners will return to action on Friday, Jan. 20-21 for the Cherry and Silver Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M.

The Effect of Taxes and Depreciation on Corporate Investment and Financial Leverage
This paper provides an analysis of the effect of corporate and personal taxes on the firm's optimal investment and financing decisions under uncertainty. It extends the DeAngelo and Masulis capital structure model by endogenizing the firm's investment decision. The authors' results indicate that, when investment is allowed to adjust optimally, the existing predictions about the relationship between investment-related and debt-related tax shields must be modified. In particular, the authors show that increases in investment-related tax shields due to changes in the corporate tax code are not necessarily associated with reductions in leverage at the individual firm level. In cross-sectional analysis, firms with higher investment-related tax shields (normalized by expected earnings) need not have lower debt-related tax shields (normalized by expected earnings) unless all firms utilize the same production technology. Differences in production technologies across firms may thus explain why the empirical results of recent cross-sectional studies have not conformed to the predictions of DeAngelo and Masulis.

Why Aren't School Nurses Given Due Respect? - page 2

Jan 22, '13Quote from SoliloquyBecause there are many who just don't get that we do WAY more than bandaids and bellyaches!I often wonder why there aren't more school nurses.
Feb 1, '13Just read this thread a bit late --- just saying you school nurses have MY r-e-s-p-e-c-t.
But had to laugh when I read OP's "washed up" comment. I thought that opinion was only used for us LTC nurses, and night shift nurses, and baby nursery nurses, etc.
Isn't it amazing how so many in the general public (and even our own) have such poor impressions of the vital variations within our profession?!?! Yeah, until they need a LTC nurse, or a night nurse or a pedi/baby nurse. And you school nurses are right up there with all of us other non-hosp nurses who are terrific.
Thank you for doing your job.

Maupassant's Short Stories Vol. 9 HTML version
He was known for thirty miles round was father Toine--fat Toine, Toine- my-extra,
Antoine Macheble, nicknamed Burnt-Brandy--the innkeeper of Tournevent.
It was he who had made famous this hamlet buried in a niche in the valley that led down
to the sea, a poor little peasants' hamlet consisting of ten Norman cottages surrounded by
ditches and trees.
The houses were hidden behind a curve which had given the place the name of
Tournevent. It seemed to have sought shelter in this ravine overgrown with grass and
rushes, from the keen, salt sea wind--the ocean wind that devours and burns like fire, that
drys up and withers like the sharpest frost of winter, just as birds seek shelter in the
furrows of the fields in time of storm.
But the whole hamlet seemed to be the property of Antoine Macheble, nicknamed Burnt-
Brandy, who was called also Toine, or Toine-My-Extra- Special, the latter in
consequence of a phrase current in his mouth:
"My Extra-Special is the best in France:"
His "Extra-Special" was, of course, his cognac.
For the last twenty years he had served the whole countryside with his Extra-Special and
his "Burnt-Brandy," for whenever he was asked: "What shall I drink, Toine?" he
invariably answered: "A burnt-brandy, my son- in-law; that warms the inside and clears
the head--there's nothing better for your body."
He called everyone his son-in-law, though he had no daughter, either married or to be
Well known indeed was Toine Burnt-Brandy, the stoutest man in all Normandy. His little
house seemed ridiculously small, far too small and too low to hold him; and when people
saw him standing at his door, as he did all day long, they asked one another how he could
possibly get through the door. But he went in whenever a customer appeared, for it was
only right that Toine should be invited to take his thimbleful of whatever was drunk in his
wine shop.
His inn bore the sign: "The Friends' Meeting-Place"--and old Toine was, indeed, the
friend of all. His customers came from Fecamp and Montvilliers, just for the fun of
seeing him and hearing him talk; for fat Toine would have made a tombstone laugh. He
had a way of chaffing people without offending them, or of winking to express what he
didn't say, of slapping his thighs when he was merry in such a way as to make you hold
your sides, laughing. And then, merely to see him drink was a curiosity. He drank

BOSTON -- With their playoff push in trouble and the Yankees packing bags for a weekend showdown at Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox suddenly found themselves in need of a late-inning spark -- and fast.
Sounds like a job for Big Papi.
David Ortiz saved the Red Sox again, pulling them from desperation to delirium just in time for a crucial series with New York.
The MVP contender tied the game in the eighth inning with his AL-leading 47th homer, then singled home the winning run in the ninth to give Boston a critical 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night.
"The best thing that ever happened to this team was winning this game tonight," Ortiz said. "Everybody was on their toes."
The Red Sox (93-66) enter their season-ending three-game series with the Yankees (94-65) trailing New York by one game. Boston would tie its rival by taking two of three, forcing a one-game playoff Monday in New York, and would win the division with a sweep.
"It's going to be three Super Bowl games," Kevin Millar said. "Whoever set the schedule this year is a genius."
Ortiz's homer was his 20th of the season that tied a game or put Boston ahead, and it was his 11th in September.
"When you're out there playing, you don't think the game's going to be on your back," said Ortiz, who leads the majors with 146 RBI.
Boston trailed 4-1, and a loss would have dropped the Red Sox two games back of New York in the AL East and one game behind Cleveland in the wild-card race, which remains tied.
The Yankees beat Baltimore 8-4 Friday night for their 15th win in 18 games, while the Indians beat Tampa Bay 6-0.
If the Red Sox and Indians both win two of three this weekend, there will be a double playoff, with Boston traveling to New York for the AL East tiebreaker and the loser playing the Indians for the wild card.
Rookie Jonathan Papelbon (3-1) pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings for the win, and Manny Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the sixth off Jason Frasor that cut the deficit to 4-3.
Ortiz homered off Vinnie Chulk leading of the eighth, and Miguel Batista (5-8) allowed a one-out single in the ninth to Johnny Damon, who stole second.
Edgar Renteria walked, and Ortiz lined a 3-2 pitch into the shortstop hole as Damon easily scored.
As he rounded first, Ortiz raised both arms to the sky and was mobbed by teammates. The crowd chanted "MVP! MVP!"
"The Yankees won. Cleveland won. So we've got to pull this one out," Ortiz said moments after his winning hit.
After the homer, Ramirez walked and Jason Varitek singled to give the Red Sox runners at the corners with no outs, but John Olerud hit a shallow flyout, Bill Mueller struck out and Trot Nixon hit a liner to right-center that Vernon Wells grabbed with an outstanding sliding catch.
"We were going to make them earn it," Toronto's Gregg Zaun said. "You're not going to hold guys like that down forever. Look at the numbers they've put up."
Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the first against Matt Clement when Eric Hinske doubled, stole third and went home when Varitek threw the ball into left field for an error.
Doubles by Aaron Hill and Frank Catalanotto made it 2-0 in the second before Boston scored in the bottom of the inning on Tony Graffanino's double, Damon's single and Edgar Renteria's groundout.
"It was nice to get a couple of runs early and quiet their crowd, but when Manny hits his home run, it was 'Here they come again,'" Hinske said.
Catalanotto made it 4-1 in the fifth with his eighth homer, and Toronto appeared headed to its 12th win in 18 games against the Red Sox before Ramirez hit his 42nd homer.
- Ramirez has 432 homers, passing Cal Ripken for sole possession of 34th place.
- Ortiz has the second-highest season home-run total for the Red Sox, three behind Jimmie Foxx (1938).
- Boston reached 93 victories for the fourth straight year for the first time in club history.

Flores Pitches USC to Win
TEMPE, Ariz. - No. 13 USC (26-10, 9-7) beat No. 12 Arizona State (21-13, 7-9) 12-7 in from of a season-high 4,342 fans at Packard Stadium Thursday night.
The Trojans were led by starting pitcher Randy Flores (7-3), who tied a school record with his 40th-career win. Flores went the distance giving up only seven hits, two earned runs and striking out 12. Offensively USC was led by second baseman Wes Rachels who went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, and five RBI. Also contributing was catcher Eric Munson who went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI.
The Devils were led by Mikel Moreno who went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Center fielder Rudy Arguelles chipped in two hits in five at-bats and scored two runs. Relief pitcher Ryan Bradley (4-5) picked up the loss for the Devils going 2/3 of an inning, giving up four hits and five runs - one earned.
The Sun Devils face the Trojans again Friday at 7 p.m. at Packard Stadium for game two of the three-game series. Left-handed sophomore pitcher Phill Lowery (2-1, 3.53 ERA) is expected to take the mound for ASU. Right-hander Seth Etherton (4-1, 3.4 ERA) is the probable starter for USC.

Lemons are a staple item in almost every household. Although most commonly used in teas, juices, and dressings, this mouth-puckering fruit serves dozens of everyday purposes. 1. Refresh the Refrigerator: Soak a sponge in lemon juice and let it sit inside of the refrigerator for up to 7 hours. 2. Improve Mental Health: Squeeze fresh lemon juice in a glass, mix with water and drink for a boost in mood. Consuming lemons can help relax the mind, fight depression and reduce stress. It's also used as a natural remedy to refresh and rejuvenate during times of fatigue. 3. Disinfect Your Cutting Boards: It's easy for porous, wood surfaces to hold onto strong smells. Get rid of odors and sanitize your cutting board by rubbing with fresh lemon juice. 4. Control Hypertension: The potassium in lemon helps control blood pressure and its vitamin B content can lower your chances of heart failure. 5. Whiten Nails: Add juice from 1/2 lemon to 1 cup of warm water. Soak hands in mixture for 5 minutes. Finish by pushing back cuticles and rubbing a lemon peel back and forth against each nail. 6. Natural Fruit and Veggie Wash: Clean your fresh produce with lemon juice and say goodbye to dirt and pesticides. 7. Avoid Kidney Stones: Consume lemon water regularly to increase your production of urinary citrate, a chemical in the urine that prevents the formation of crystals, which can gather and form kidney stones. 8. Lighten Your Hair: For blonde highlights, combine one-quarter cup lemon juice and three-quarters cup water. Rinse hair with mixture, comb through, and sit in the sun until dry. Repeat daily for up to 7 days to achieve maximum results. 9. Keep Insects Out: Squirt lemon juice by doors, along windowsills, and inside holes and cracks where ants tend to circulate. Also, spread small pieces of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance. Finally, combine the juice and peel of four lemons with one-half gallon of water and use it to clean the floors. 10. Calm Respiratory Problems: Drinking lemon water can help reduce phlegm, encouraging proper breathing, helping those who suffer from asthma. 11. Freshen Your Garbage: If your garbage pail begins to stink, line the bottom of an empty bag with lemon and orange remains. Repeat every couple of weeks for a fresh smell that lasts. 12. Keep Healthy Skin: Regularly drinking lemon water helps lower the production of free radicals responsible for skin damage, spots and wrinkles. 13. Keep Cut Apples and Guacamole from Turning Brown: Squeeze a good amount of lemon juice over apple slices and prepared guacamole to maintain color. 14. Reduce Swelling: Since lemon is a diuretic, consuming it helps lower inflammation by flushing out toxins and bacteria. It is recommended for those suffering from arthritis. 15. Revive Lettuce: To crisp your lettuce, add the juice from one-half lemon to a bowl of cold water. Submerge lettuce and put bowl in the refrigerator for one hour. Dry completely before use.
