First, let me say that we did not stay in the park but did a walk-through when stopping for lunch in the city. As there are only a limited number of campgrounds listed for New Brunswick it may be of interest for our fellow RVers. A nice municipal campground on the shores of Chaleur Bay with a nice-sized pebble beach. The campsites are fairly close with no vegetation screen between the sites, so there is little privacy. 22 sites are overlooking the beach. Sites 37 to 40 are directly across the street from the municipal indoor pool and fitness center and are exposed to the noise of the compressors for the air conditioning. There is a snack bar, a convenience store, laundromat and a coffee shop as well as a micro brewery adjacent and the commercial center of the town is within walking distance. The perimeter of the park is beautifully landscaped with an abundance of flowers.

A small municipal campground on an open meadow overlooking Chaleur Bay. Some sites along the edges of the meadow are shaded, other sites near the cliff have a beautiful view over the bay with the mountains of Québec's Gaspé peninsula in the background. There is a nice, very quiet beach. No sandy beach, but small, rounded pebbles making going in the water very easy. As the water gets surprisingly warm expect jelly fish by the second half of August. The sanitary facilities are clean but need a major overhaul. The good news is that right after the 2010 camping season the overhaul is scheduled to start, not just on the facilities but the whole park.

This campground started life as a provincial campground several years back. Most sites have a slight to moderate slope and many have at least some water view, unless a giant motorhome blocks it. The beach is definitively a no swimming beach, even though the water is quite warm. There are too many plants and it is too shallow. The sites closest to the water have no hook ups and are for tents or Westfalia type RVs. The next rows have 15 amps and water hook ups and then you get the 30/50amps W/E/S sites. Free WiFi works well but has a very limited reach, there are comfortable chairs on a veranda at the office if you do not get a connection at your site. The manager and employees are very friendly but not well organized as far as reservations are concerned. They lost ours! Even if you do reserve, I suggest you get here early to make sure you get a nice spot.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
The previous review is right on, so I'll only give some additional info. RV sites on the river, 28 miles wide in this spot, cost $27, RV sites cost $22 in the center and tent sites without any services are $17. Some tent sites are on the river, and if your RV is small enough to fit in there you can use them, which of course means no W/E/S. I did not see any 50amp hookups, but there may be some. Most people should be able to get by on 30amps, as a/c is normally not needed in this area. Even though the campground is squeezed in between the road and the river, road noise is not an issue as very little traffic goes on during the night. Also, while we were here, the campground itself was quiet with no noisy neighbors. WiFi works well most of the time, although when the bandwidth hogs go online it slows down. The restaurant that is part of the complex specializes in seafood, (What else would you think in the area?) and is not cheap, but quite good. Even locals use it. It is a good place for a fancy dinner, as your bed is only a few steps way if necessary!

This park has two completely different sections. One lower section has W/E/S and is quite closely packed. Most sites in this section have a front to rear slope, making it difficult to level motorhomes. The upper section has mostly W/E and no services. It is more like state parks or provincial parks with a nice tree cover and a fair distance to other sites for a better privacy. The washrooms are older and could use some renovation, but they are clean. There is an indoor pool, but the room has only a few small windows, and is therefore quite dark. Wi-Fi is 5$ per 24 hours and works quite well. Weekly and monthly rates are available, but I don't remember the price. Especially on weekends there is a lot of smoke from fires, making it difficult for people who don't like to be smoked like fish. In conclusion, a good place to visit Ottawa, but a little investment to bring the sanitary facilities up to modern standards would make it better.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
A mostly flat campground with some shade trees. Good, easy access to Montreal from here, so it is a perfect place to use as a base for exploring Montreal or as a stopover for travel to Québec City or points further. It is about 1 km from the main highway, so there is not road noise, and maybe one or two freight trains per night at over a quarter mile distance. There are several tent sections available, one really nice one on a lower portion near a little brook. After strong rains there can be a few puddles left, as the soil in this part of the province does not drain well. Some of the sites can take even the largest oversized motorhomes without unhooking the toad. Wi-Fi is free but only usable in the early morning even though the park was filled barely to 50% capacity when we were there. Trying to use the Wi-Fi in the evening is about as much fun as canoeing in molasses. The other problem with this park is that I find it overpriced by about 20%.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
Part of the St Lawrence Park Commission. There are two other campgrounds on the Long Sault Parkway. The eastern part of McLaren now has a crushed stone base for your RV, the western part is still on grass. Showers and dump station are a quarter mile east of the campground on the next island. Close to Upper Canada museum village, Upper Canada golf club and marina and the Battle of Crysler Farm National Historic site. 50 km of bike trails, beaches and family entertainment on summer weekends. Because of the large population of Canada geese beaches are occasionally closed because of a high bacteria count.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
The previous reviewer is right on the mark, I just want to add some more info. The longest pull-through sites are 60 feet long, all sites are at a 90º angle and the roads are not overly wide, so with an over-sized RV you might have a hard time to get in and you might have to unhitch your toad. Almost all sites require front to rear leveling, but this has the advantage of draining well. The campground is on a major road into Ottawa, some road noise is present especially during rush hours, but for most people this would not be disturbing. We are fairly sensitive to road noise and did not find it a problem. Depending on the wind direction planes on their final approach into Ottawa fly overhead, but we did not hear any planes after 11 pm, nor were their any early morning flights. Wi-Fi is $5 per day, less per week or month.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
I basically agree with the last reviews, I just want to add that if at least one in your party is 62 or older the rate goes down to $11.44, very good value for the money. This rule applies also to out of state visitors.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Good municipal campground, sites are well spaced, quiet in the campground but you can hear the occasional truck pass by during the night, many sites are slightly uneven, this might be a problem for bigger motorhomes.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
A good municipal campground that is fine for an overnighter or for an extended stay. Can be very crowded in high season. Good swimming beach with surprisingly warm water for this latitude. Fast and stable WiFi. Small store in campground and restaurant across the street. A little over 10 minutes walk to town with more restaurants and services.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Good for an overnight on your way around the Gaspé Peninsula or for a few days, no frills but clean and very quiet. Archaeological site a quarter mile away. At dumping station sewer hose with Hydro-Flush is permanently attached so you don't have to use your own.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Modest municipal campground, 50% seasonals, wide roads, big pullthrough sites 65X45 feet, price includes free entrance to adjacent municipal swimming pool, easy walking distance to restaurants, services, historic houses from the late 1600's and still lived in, Québec Maritime Museum http://www.mmq.qc.ca/parc_en.html (has among other exhibits an experimental jet powered hydrofoil submarine hunter, probably the fastest warship ever built, capable of going 63 knots under full load), has a million dollar view with beautiful sunsets over the St. Lawrence, 15 miles wide at this spot.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
The price of 40$ includes the daily entry fee for two adults for the National Park. There are three campgrounds, Petit-Gaspé with 136 sites in the southern sector, Cap-Bon-Ami with 41 sites and Des-Rosiers with 113 sites in the northern sector. The electric hook-up loop in Petit-Gaspé is a campfire-free zone, Cap-Bon-Ami has no electric hookups and is suited for tents, small tent-trailers or small class B vehicles, it does have incredible views. There are no pull-throughs anywhere in the park, but there are several big rig friendly sites. For example our site, which was far from being the largest, was 55 feet long with an additional 15 by 15 feet clearing behind for a tent or a picnic table. Roads are asphalt and campsited are hard packed gravel. The park offers a full range of nature based or historical/cultural activities to keep you busy for several days. The swimming pool rivals with a resort pool, but is 7 km away from Cap-Bon-Ami and Des-Rosiers and over a km from some sites in Petit-Gaspé. The entry fee for the park is 6.90$ per adult per day, but for the quality of activities and services offered this is very little money.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
Great little rustic campground with million dollar view over the entrance to the Bay of Gaspé. Friendly staff. Has a homemade look to the installations, but everything works and is clean. Free shower gel and shampoo dispensers in the showers. Free coffee. Outdoor shower for divers. Well thought out tent sites along the cliff with wooden windbreaks that also have a counter space and shelves. Some spots for big rigs, not the easiest to get in to, but saw 40' class A in some places. WiFi is not the fastest, but it worked for me, and there are not many campgrounds in the area that have it. 3$ for 24 hours on the honor system. Only 20 minutes to Percé town site with all the tourist attractions, Percé Rock and Bonaventure Island with a big bird population, well known for its Gannet colony. For me Tête d'Indien is the best campground in the area, as the campgrounds in Percé are very tightly packed and often noisy.

This Vanilla Bean and Mango Chia Seed Pudding is one of the first recipes I've made using my new organic vanilla bean powder.
If you've never had chia seed pudding before, it's a super healthy pudding-like snack loaded with nutrients from chia seeds.
And, there are so many different varieties you can make too!
Although I normally make some kind of chocolate chia seed pudding, this time I wanted to try something different.
I had just received my order of 100% vanilla bean powder in the mail and wanted to use it to make a raw, fruity, sweet snack…and this was it!
Although these two puddings aren't exactly identical in taste and texture, here are the 15 ingredients in a popular commercial brand:
Jell-O Tapioca Pudding
Ingredients: MILK SKIM, WATER, SUGAR, TAPIOCA, FOOD STARCH MODIFIED, CONTAINS LESS THAN 11% OF VEGETABLE(S) OIL HYDROGENATED (COCONUT OIL HYDROGENATED, PALM KERNEL OIL HYDROGENATED), SALT, SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, SODIUM ALGINATE, FLAVOR(S) NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL, COLOR(S) ARTIFICIAL, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, VITAMIN D (source)
It has refined sugar, oils, refined salt, GMO dairy and food colorings. And it was rated "F" on FoodFacts.com.

Where to Buy: If you have trouble finding any of the ingredients to make this recipes, you can order online from Amazon and have them delivered straight to your door!
Tip #1: I don't think this would turn out the same if you tried to substitute the pure vanilla bean powder with vanilla extract. I didn't test it with the extract because I didn't want to waste an entire serving of my chia pudding to try it out and because I was so pleased with the vanilla bean powder. One of the reasons I switched from using the extract is because I didn't care for the strong alcohol flavor, especially in raw snacks like this one. You don't have to worry about that when using the powder and, it will last twice as long as the extract because you only have to use half as much. It's the best $24 dollars I have spent in a long time, hands down.
Tip #2: This is not an overly sweet dessert (getting it's sweetness from the mango and 2 tablespoons of granulated sweetener), so adjust the amount of mango/sweetener if you prefer a sweeter pudding. I used raw coconut crystals as my sweetener, but you can substitute with the sweetener of your choice.
Tip #3: I like to use a mason jar to mix it and then eat my pudding straight from the jar, but you don't have to use a mason jar to mix it up. Just put all the ingredients into a small bowl, stir very well and put it in the refrigerator to firm.
Tip #4: This recipe will make 1 large serving or 2 smaller servings.

Altaar: ALTAAR Review
Review by Metaloath
Altaar 'Altaar' (2013) (Indie Recordings)
So it begins, with a slow melodic movement with a majestic sorrow rising from the sparse instrumentation. The repetitive flow builds momentum and invites the listener further into the layers of harmonics, and the drums wisely hover in the background to delicately punctate the song without making to much out of it.
The self-titled album from Altaar contains two songs, a total of 35 minutes that coils like Satan's serpents, and the album probably is one of the strongest releases this year in this genre.
Altaar originally started out as a one-man project in 2007, with mainman Andreas Tylden (Guitar, vocals/One Head One Tail) taking his recording gear to the Vår Frelsers graveyard in Oslo during the night. Since the first 'Doedsoenske' cassette was recorded and released in 2009, the project has evolved. The latest album musicians Sten Ole Toft (Electronics, guitar, piano/Faux Pas, Ryfylke), Espen Hangård (guitar, synth, vocals/KILLL, ex-Diskord, NoPlaceToHide), and Kennth Lamond (drums/Jr Ewing), and Didrik Telle (bass/Obliteration) contributes. Espen Hangård is also credited with the mixing, whereas Morten Øby handled the production, and Tom Kvålsvold/Strype Audio has done the mastering. And they even moved the recording session from the graveyard to a proper studio, Taakeheimen Lydrike Studio, Oslo – getting soft, in that sense.
Anyways, the song 'Heil Mary' from Altaar on the Fysisk Format sampler CD, released during summer 2012, presented more of an old-school/new-wave black metal approach with witching screams and an intentional lo-fi production. The album, due 26.02.13, is very different. The self-titled album is a step away from the graveyard shift / funeral moods of the early cassette EPs, and it all comes off as more open and less confined. But it's still about the atmosphere. And they still do these 1000-ton riffs that'll make your ears plead for mercy and cause your knees to involuntarily bend. The album also has these ambient segments that are as cheerful as funeral wakes – and in fact, slightly eerie in their simplicity. Sustained tones that linger like fading heartbeats, trembling on the verge of disharmony with distant thumps from afar like Death herself sluggishly knocking on your door to collect your life prematurely.
The cover art is just awesome. The detailed pencil drawing by Sverre Malling has this calm and serene creepiness to it. A scene from one of those dreams that you spend hours trying to shake off when you awake. It's great to see bands putting effort in to the cover art, and going beyond the fuzzy pictures of barren forests and a spiky band logo plastered across. Hope to see more work from Malling in the time to come.
There are many ways of creating emotional responses and atmosphere in dark and heavy music. Altaar masters the skill of being sinister without spelling out in detail the horror and gore and the unfortunate fact that the planet Earth is getting clusterfucked for all eternity in every possible manner and that all hope is long gone. No, this is rather the art of setting the mood for realising exactly that. It's the gentle talent of not spelling out letter by letter what you have on your heart.
One could argue that the mood and atmosphere set on this album is a natural part of the metal aesthetics, while the means Altaar employs for doing so belongs in musical traditions and genres outside the traditional metal toolbox. Well, yeah, there's plenty of distorted and fuzzed-up guitar & bass, rasp and desperate vocals – but I'd say that the album spans musically way beyond the metal frame-of-reference as such. The musical references from 1960/1970-ies psychedelia blended with the heavier riffs forms the signature sound of Altaar – a musical landscape that likely to make one hell of a concert experience. Anyone who has seen Altaar live should be familiar with the visuals and stageprops. The work of Elias Mehrige ('Begotten', 1991) and Benjamin Christensen ('Häxan', 1922) fits perfectly to the uncomfortable emotional groove conjured by Altaar. This album still builds on that visual approach to the music.
I'm not quite sure what labels to throw at the band to explain the album. But I'll try: Psychedelic funeral ritual doom with an authentic emotional vibe. Acid shoegazer nihilsm. Groovy apocalyptic nekroblues, or something – f**k, forget it, its not working – all the label-jerk-off aside: the new Altaar album really is the preferred soundtrack when taking acid and self-mutilating, and staring into gashing wounds that make you increasingly anaemic and indifferent. It is a decisive and artistically distinct album from a collective of musicians with different backgrounds that converge on this project. The production is rich and beautifully balanced, and the album grows from listen to listen. Two long songs that drift between states of heaviness and sinister shoegaze. 35 minutes that are likely to be on repeat for a while. I like it a lot.
In plain English: this is a substantial album that you really should check out. And the concerts are supposed to be awesome as well. Case closed.

Since you are the one who said that it was a lie that 2012 was the warmest year.....<quoted text>
You damn right.
When was the last time anything from a liberal's mouth was the truth?
Why should "gorebull warming" be any different?
since records have been kept......
provide proof that it wasn't the warmest year!
It should be easy for you since it only deals with recorded history....

Nov 27, 2012 - The Associated PressGrizzly killing under investigation
MOOSE -- Investigators at Grand Teton National Park are continuing to probe last week's killing of a charging grizzly bear by members of an elk-hunting party.
Jackie Skaggs is spokeswoman for Grand Teton. She says Monday that investigators haven't concluded yet whether they will classify the hunters' killing of the adult, male grizzly bear on Thanksgiving morning as justifiable self-defense.
Skaggs says the National Park Service isn't releasing the names or hometowns of the three hunters, aged 48, 20 and 17. She says none of the hunters was hurt.
The incident marks the first time a hunter has killed a grizzly bear in decades of elk population-reduction hunts at the park in northwestern Wyoming. The shooting occurred along the east side of the Snake River near Teton Point Overlook.
Police look for bank robbery suspects
CHEYENNE -- Cheyenne police are looking for two armed men who robbed the Wyoming State Bank.
The men took an undisclosed amount of money from the bank on Monday around 4 p.m. They were wearing dark clothing and their faces were concealed.
Police spokesman Dan Long said the men brandished weapons but he said couldn't elaborate because of the investigation.
Man killed when he fell from train
RAWLINS -- Carbon County authorities say a man was killed when he apparently fell from a train that was passing through Rawlins.
Sheriff's deputies found the man, whose name has not been released, at about 6 a.m. Monday. Trains in the area typically travel between 50 mph and 70 mph.
Authorities say they do not suspect foul play.
The victim is described as white and between 30 and 35 years old.
Slow going on energy land buyout
JACKSON -- An effort to buy oil and gas leases in western Wyoming to protect the land from development is raising funds at about half the speed needed to complete the $8.75 million deal.
Since the historic agreement to buy 58,000 acres of oil and gas leases south of Jackson was announced in October, Trust for Public Land has raised $1.28 million of the $4.25 million it needs. That gives the trust less than six weeks to raise about $3 million.
The money is due Jan. 1.
Conservation groups sought an agreement with Plains Exploration and Production Co., fearing the industrial gas operation in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Sublette County would disrupt migration routes and wildlife habitat.

Date of Stay: April, 2012
Nice campground, super clean restrooms. Kathy the owner was very accommodating to our group. Would definetly stay there again. We camped in a class B camper van
Date of Stay: April, 2012
Park needs some attention. Has only 1 washing machine but 5 dryers. Still doing a lot of work on the side entrance nearest the RV park. Checking in is horrible. Went to the lobby to register for the RV park: where told we had to call and make a reservation. So from the lobby, we called and then we could walk the three feet to the desk to check in. We where not happy campers at that point. Hope they get their act together as we have stayed here before and do like the park. Also: have dropped the Good Sam discount.

Everyone Loves a Beer Cocktail and You Should Too
Call it the drink innovation that never quits. Between the shandy, the michelada, and the beergarita, the perpetually trendy "beer cocktail" has been making waves ever since the English mixed ginger beer and ginger ale together in the 1800s and called it a "shandygaff."
Even so, the beer cocktail went rogue only in recent years. Case in point: Last April, Budweiser came out with a sugary, hangover-inducing Straw-Ber-Rita to follow up on its Chelada tall boys (clamato juice and cheap beer)—a drink that should come with a warning label for sensitive stomachs.
Fortunately for us, with the return of summer, beer cocktails are back with a vengeance—only this time it's all about the sophistication. To set the record straight, we spoke with General Manager Rudi Quarles, the mastermind behind the craft beer cocktail menu at Birmingham's Post Office Pies.
The way Rudi sees it, beer cocktails shouldn't be just a dumbed-down alternative to beer or a cheap way of spicing up your suds. Rather, taking into account the subtleties of the brews themselves can convert any beer-skeptic into a beer-liever.
His secret? "Think of the beer part not as a beer but as a flavor that's added to it."
At Post Office Pies, the most popular drink on the menu is a refreshing Kings Spring Cocktail, which melds blueberry lemonade with muddled basil and a sour and citrusy Peach Saison from Avondale Brewing Company. Try it yourself—it's so much better than a Straw-Ber-Rita.
Kings Spring Cocktail
1 count basil
3 counts lemonade
4 counts saison
6-8 drops of Blueberry Simple Syrup (recipe below)
1. Muddle the basil with a couple pieces of ice.
2. Mix in the remaining three ingredients
3. Garnish with basil; serve with straw.
Blueberry Simple Syrup
Bring 1 count sugar and 1 count water to a boil with smashed blueberries. After the blueberries have cooked down, puree the syrup until smooth.
Still can't get enough of the beer cocktail? Try our Apple, Lemon, and Gin Shandy, or our tart and fruity Raspberry Beer Cocktail. Bonus points: Invent your own concoction with Homemade Simple Syrup and one of our favorite Southern craft beers.

Hello Guys...I own a 1984 Chevorlet. How can I repair it when it stalls at rest?Thanks!!!George
1984 Chevrolet what? Cabureted? Fuel injected? Warm? Cold? Does it keep running if you give it gas? Judging from the lack of detail in this question...I'll go out on a limb and guess you don't have much (any?) experience working on cars. Take it to a shop you trust.
____________________Casey McCall:What happened to your values?Dan Rydell: I find that maintaining them is a lot of work. I take a day off every now and then.Casey McCall: You take a vacation from doing the right thing?Dan Rydell: Yeah. I don't loot storefronts or anything, but once in a while, when I consider the effort it takes to diligently adhere to a moral compass, I take myself out of the lineup and I rest up for the next game.Casey McCall: I swear, you could run for Congress and win.

Characteristics of Great Dividend Growth Stocks
Posted by: Dividends4Life (IP Logged)
Date: April 24, 2013 10:08AM
What makes a great dividend stock? Investors in dividend growth stocks are looking for stocks that will increase their dividend each and every year at a rate that makes the stock a better investment than fixed income alternatives on a risk adjusted basis. I have found that stocks that are able to do this share some common characteristics. They include...
Brand Recognition/Low Price
During an economic downturn consumers may flee many popular brands if their cost is high and generic alternatives are substantially cheaper. Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) saw this occur in some of their premium brands like Pampers and Tide. However, most people aren't willing to save a few pennies on a generic soda of unknown quality when a Coca Cola Co. (KO) or Pepsico Inc. (PEP) is available.
Value-Priced Convenience
In addition to Brand Recognition/Low Price some companies also provide convenience. If you have been out shopping all day and are tired, you are likely to stop on the way home and pick up something that is quick and inexpensive. There seems to be a McDonald's (MCD) on every corner. A stop there provides the guest with a known commodity — clean restrooms, quick service and an inexpensive meal.
A Superior Operating Model
How do you compete with a company like Wal-Mart (WMT)? As most of their competitors have learned, you can't beat WMT at providing brand-name, quality merchandise at rock-bottom prices. During the good times, some people don't mind paying premium prices at an upscale store, but there are plenty of us value-conscious people that keep WMT humming. Where WMT really shines is during an economic downturn. When losing your job is a real option, $120 sneakers just don't quite seem as important as they once were.
A Pseudo Monopoly
If you are the only company in the world that is allowed to sell a product that people's lives depend on, you will likely have a robust profit margin. This is the world that pharmaceutical companies operate in. Granted companies like AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY) have to keep coming up with new products as old patents expire, and have to deal with government regulation, but the good ones not only survive, they thrive.
Sell What People Want and Need
Sounds simple, but so few companies have mastered it. Consumer staples seem to be the best at it. When you consider the longevity of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)'s products such as Band-Aid, Johnson Baby Products, Listerine, Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl and many others, it is easy to conclude that the company has identified what people want/need and are providing it at a reasonable cost.
They Got a Name for the Winners in the World
Just as in life, companies that are winners separate themselves from the others. They won't settle for second best, instead they continue to look for advantages that will them keep a few steps ahead of the competition. Warren Buffett would describe many of the above advantages as wide moats. If you want to buy and hold a stock forever, make sure it has a competitive advantage that is not easily duplicated.
Full Disclosure: Long PG, KO, PEP, MCD, WMT, ABBV, JNJ. See a list of all my dividend growth holdings here.

All quotes by Winnie the Pooh
(57 quotes found)
""I wonder what Piglet is doing," thought Pooh.
"I wish I were there to be doing it, too."
- Winnie the Pooh"
"Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."
"Promise me you'll always remember that you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
"When late morning rolls around and you're feeling a bit out of sorts, don't worry; you're probably just a little eleven o'clockish."
"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.
"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."
"Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known."
""Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called"

Toy Poodle Health Problems and Raising a Toy Poodle Puppy to be Healthy
By Michele Welton. Copyright © 2000-2016
How To Raise a Healthy Dog
Feeding the Best Dog Food
Feeding the 2nd Best Dog Food
Vaccinations: Needed or Not?
Are You Sure Your Vet Is Good?
The most common health problems in Toy Poodles:
Eye diseases are the major concern in Toy Poodles:
- PRA (which stands for progressive retinal atrophy) shows up between 3 and 5 years of age and always progresses to blindness. If you don't want to wait and worry, there is a new DNA test that can tell you whether your Poodle puppy has inherited the genes for PRA.
- Cataracts can appear at any time in a Toy Poodle. If they show up early (from birth to 3 years of age), they're usually going to be more severe, leading to blindness. Cataracts that show up after age 3 are usually milder.
- Other eye problems in Toy Poodles include tear duct disorders, corneal ulcers, retinal dysplasia, eyelash abnormalities, and glaucoma.
The most common orthopedic health problem to watch out for in Toy Poodles is luxating patella (loose knee joints). Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is a more serious condition, but is fortunately less common.
Intervertebral disk disease (IVDD) is not uncommon in Toy Poodles, especially in those born with short legs and a long back, which is a deformity called chondrodysplasia.
Epilepsy (seizures) has become a growing concern in many dog breeds today, including Toy Poodles. Epilepsy usually shows up between 2 and 4 years of age.
Allergies in Poodles cause terribly itchy skin, and the resulting scratching can lead to a bacterial infection called pyoderma. Tumors are fairly common in Toy Poodles, but fortunately they're usually benign sebaceous gland tumors or basal cell tumors. Non-tumorous skin growths such as lipomas and papillomas are very common in Poodles as they age. You'll find these little growths peppering your Poodle's skin under his curly coat. Ear infections are common due to the long narrow ear canals and profuse hair in the ear canals.
Two digestive diseases, pancreatitis and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, are more common in Poodles than in most other breeds. Pancreatitis is especially common in middle-aged Poodles who are pudgy around the middle and don't get a lot of exercise. High-fat meals or treats are usually the culprit in setting off an attack of pancreatitis, and once it strikes, it can be fatal unless immediately treated.
Heart disease (patent ductus arteriosus and septal defects) is always a concern in Toy Poodles, and mitral valve disease as your Poodle ages.
Blood-clotting diseases (von Willebrand's and hemophilia A) occur in Toy Poodles. Just as there is a DNA test for PRA, there is one for von Willebrand's disease, so if you feel like it, you can have your dog tested at the vet's to see if he has inherited the vWD gene or not.
Diseases of the hormonal/endocrine system in Toy Poodles include hypothyroidism, Cushing's disease, and diabetes.
Toy Poodle puppies, and adults who are tiny (less than 4 pounds) are susceptible to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Toy Poodles of any size can develop collapsing trachea, a weakness in their tracheal (breathing) tube that makes them cough (a honking cough) when they exert themselves too much. Collapsing trachea gets worse with age. Another condition that causes a honking cough is called reverse sneezing, but this condition is not a health problem and is in fact harmless.
Rare neurological diseases in Toy Poodles include white shaker dog syndrome and narcolepsy.
Toy Poodles are prone to dental disease – you must keep after your dog's teeth, brushing them regularly and chipping off the tartar. Otherwise, he'll need a veterinary cleaning, which requires anesthesia, which always carries some risk. Don't let your dog's teeth get this bad!
Can you prevent health problems from happening to YOUR Toy Poodle?
Yes, often you can.
- Some health problems are genetic, which means inherited from parents. Genetic health issues are common in Toy Poodles today because of unwise breeding practices. My book, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, shows you how to find a Toy Poodle puppy who is genetically healthy.
- Other health problems are environmental – caused by the way you raise your dog. My best-selling dog health book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy shows you how to prevent environmental health problems by raising your Toy Poodle puppy (or adult dog) in all the right ways.
Here are my dog health tips for raising a healthy Toy Poodle puppy or adult dog:
Dog Health Care – The Sensible Way
Read my advice on daily health care so your Toy Poodle lives a long, healthy life and seldom needs to see the vet.
The Best Dog Food For Feeding Your Toy Poodle
The best diet for feeding your Toy Poodle is real food. Real chicken, turkey, beef, bison, venison, fish....This is not "people food" and I'll tell you why.
The Second-Best Dog Food For Your Toy Poodle
If you can't feed homemade dog food, here are your next-best choices.
Vaccinations and Booster Shots: Needed or Not?
How many vaccinations does your Toy Poodle puppy really need? Does your adult Toy Poodle need yearly booster shots? The vaccination guidelines have changed. Find out what many vets aren't telling you.
The Type of Veterinarian I Recommend
Is your veterinarian really the best choice for your dog? Learn about the differences between vets who practice conventional, holistic, and alternative veterinary medicine.
Spaying Your Female Dog: Pros and Cons
Advantages and disadvantages of spaying your female Toy Poodle.
Neutering Your Male Dog: Pros and Cons

Assisi Loop Review: How I Helped Treat Inflammation and Pain With Electromagnetic Field Therapy
Does your dog suffer from arthritis, hip dysplasia, disk disease, pancreatitis, colitis, injuries such as fractures and skin wounds, or a neurological condition? An honest review of a veterinary device you can use at home to help reduce inflammation and pain.

Cross Yoda with a fairy and what do you get? Brian and Wendy Froud. The fantasy artists and innovators are appearing this weekend at New York Comic Con, opening an art show in SoHo, and launching a new book of their collaborative art, titled Trolls.
I remember as a teenager getting a copy of Brian Froud and Alan Lee's Faeries, published in 1978, as a gift from my parents. My folks knew I already spoke D&D and Tolkien, and I think to their mind the book of drawings would inspire me to dig deeper into the worlds of fantasy. They were right.
Alan Lee went on to become best known for illustrating Tolkien's world, and worked as a lead visual designer for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. Continue Reading "Fantasy Legends Brian and Wendy Froud at New York Comic Con This Weekend: The Q&A" »

I had the opportunity to go to the Search Marketing Expo (SMX West) in Santa Clara, California last week. Here are some notes I jotted down during the session: Search 3.0: Local Search & Blended Results. For further reading, I've found other resources covering this topic here and here.
SMX West: Search 3.0: Local Search & Blended Results
Brian Gill, Director of Product Management, Yahoo! Local
Gab Goldenberg, Owner, SEO ROI
Eric Lander, Associate Editor, Search Engine Journal
Chris Smith, Lead Search Strategist, NetConcepts
Kevin Hagwell, MSN
Chris Smith was the first presenter. For the most part, people use "city names" when doing local search. Location combined with category and biz name are keyword phrases users search for. Showed a couple of examples. "Why are the three listings on the top of local search results?"
- User ratings + proximity to the center of the city = results that usually are shown first in the list for MSN.
- User ratings + proximity + page rank of site = results that usually are shown first in the list for Yahoo. del.icio.us tags could also be a factor.
- User ratings + proximity + "regular SEO ranking criteria" = results that usually are shown in the top ten for Google. Google is unique because sometimes their local one-box is shown in the middle of the SERP whereas Yahoo & MSN's one-boxes are shown always at the top
Google has limited set of biz categories which could hinder growth in the future. Overall, for all three engines, there's an over-emphasis on Centroid Proximity locations shown first. When submitting different locations of business to Google Local, don't just use the homepage URL; use each location's own dedicated page.
Gab was the next speaker. "How I got Two Listings in One SERP." You can now have "dual listings" in Google Local – one in the one-box and another in the regular organic listings. Reviews / testimonials should be added to your business listing for local; even if you plug them in and give them credit. Follow-up with direct mail or email to ask for a review – provide an incentive here like a coupon or perhaps a free dessert or something.
Eric was the last speaker. Tips on local search… alright! Verified listings:
- Google (manually verified)
- Yahoo (manually verified)
- MSN (manually verified)
- Reach Local (feed based)
- Localeze (feed based)
- infoUSA (feed based)
Trusted sources: Internet Yellow Pages (SuperPages, YellowPages, YellowBook, etc.) & Social (Yelp, etc.).
Take time to list out your address on your site and setup a cross link to a trusted place (like Mapquest). Localeze – Merchant Profile Manager: add, edit or remove single listings for free. Local search is very much social… so get some reviews!
QnA followed. Yahoo! Local is rolling out a very interesting open platform. Here's some detailed info about that.

We didn't know how the thing will look like exactly, and just how thin it is came as a real surprise. Granted, we saw a few cases made for it, and some design shots way back in December, but nothing a dedicated KIRF-ster with time on his hands and money to burn couldn't do with relative ease, so nobody paid much attention.
Even that slip of the tongue, however, has been considered unacceptable by Apple and its assemblyman in China, Foxconn. When you work for Apple you know that even showing up late you can get away with a few times, but just mumble your opinion about a future Apple product in front of a customer, and you are immediately given the pink slip.
Totally understandable, considering how much of Apple's mojo is due to the "wow" factor of its product unveiling ceremonies. The fact that Chinese case manufacturers started producing wraps for the iPad 2 way before the device was launched, made Foxconn suspect an inside job, and turn the case to the police.
Indeed, the investigation resulted in three Foxconn employees arrested on December 26, 2010, and charged with violating their non-disclosure agreements about a month ago, by leaking chassis molds to accessory makers prematurely. For a similar stunt, but on a much broader scale, one of Apple's former managers - Paul Devine - faces up to 20 years of jailtime, after leaking roadmaps and product designs to accessory makers, to the tune of about $2.5 million.
It isn't clear if the three Foxconn employees arrested were a part of this scam, or they have shown their own initiative. Leaks are fun, but not when you are facing fines and jail sentence. Perhaps if Foxconn found a way to pay a little more, its employees wouldn't give in to temptation.

cost of digging and pouring a basement foundation
I'm going to build a 1200 sf ranch in a suburb of Chicago. Some sort of range of cost would be helpful. Any thoughts?
Yeah............... I'm wishing I was licensed in Illinois. :laughing: :whistling2:
No one here's going to be able to help you with that. You need to be dealing with some local people.
The people on this site could be anywhere in the world.
I will do it for my mobilization fee plus 1.75 per mile and all fuel cost and demobilization fee plus 1.75 a mile. and my hourly rate of 75 dollars per hour. so my mobilization fee is 1,500 from the coast to Chicago 1700 miles x 2 you got to pay for me to get back that would be 5950 plus fuel and my rate I would say around 89,000. Just giving a absurd answer you your question. Best thing to do is get the yellow pages and find a local excavator and have them bid it out. Asking here is for that is not the right way of going about it. Best of luck to you.

The pumpkin made a picture!! It set next to the guest book table, but I didn't get a chance to snap a pic of that.
My dad made this arch for me to use in my wedding. It has now been through 3 weddings: mine, my sister's and Chelsey's. I bet he had know idea that we would get this much use out of it!
Me and the Matron of Honor, Kristan, helping Chelsey get into her dress. I put this picture in because I did her eye make-up and you can kind of see it in this picture. I should have taken a close-up of it, but we were so busy doing other things I didn't even think about it. I was really pleased with how it turned out. She looked gorgeous!
The bridal bouquet. The groom had a twin brother that died when they were 2. The butterfly was placed in the bouquet to remember him and include him in their special day.
Old mason jars with ribbon and their monogram were the vases for the centerpieces. They were filled with white hydrangeas. I loved this old basket they were in.

Telling complex stories
Posted by MQdejesus | Posted in Melinda Quintos de Jesus | Posted on 19-07-2012
I have long felt that the world may have outgrown conventional journalism. Globalization and technology speed up change, spread the impact of change across borders, layering developments with greater complexity—journalism has pretty much stayed the same. The business of news is still stuck in the urge of getting the story out as quickly as possible.
The 24-hour news cycle now lags behind the swifter speed of news on the social media. But techno-news doesn't do complexity very well. It gives us the latest. It give us the "buzz." It connects and links and hooks. But all the connectivity has not brought us closer to a sense of understanding massive and critical change.
Journalism has held to the formula news account, satisfied with the first four W's and most often than not missing the more important "why" or "how" which takes a little more time and is definitely a bit more difficult to do.
When there is more to say about what is really happening, as in a policy question, an environmental phenomenon, a controversy which has experts and politicians claiming different things—journalistic accounts do not do very much to help. The practice resorts to getting statements or quotes from two or more differing sources with perhaps conflicting views. This may achieve balance but, unfortunately, it does not provide clarity.
We want a free press and diverse media outlets to help people think about the issues that affect them, maybe assist ordinary people to make decisions that will affect others as well. Journalism should provide news and stories, not just to reveal corruption and things that people try to hide, but also to facilitate meaning and understanding of things happening, at least in their world.
The most important things happening in the world today can be difficult for ordinary people to understand. Different perspectives coming from those studying issues often make things even murkier.
The political election which used to be simplified by the media into a horse-race or a morality play now involves policy issues.
Paul Krugman's column "Policy and the Personal" (The New York Times, July 15) does not run to more than 800 words. But he has helped this reader understand what is important in the claims and counter-claims made by the Obama and Romney campaigns on their stand on tax cuts for the rich. I refer to this only because Krugman thinks that although there are expert sources who crunch the numbers to prove or disprove a politician's policy claim, most people in the US will not be helped by the media to know who they should believe.
When media report on a candidate's speech which cites numbers as the basis of his/her explanation, the media in the same report also cites a politician's contradiction of these numbers or another way of looking at or interpreting the numbers. If this contradiction is not done in the same report, one can count on a following report to do so. It is as though journalism were prohibited to provide certainty or that such certainty were beyond journalism's ken.
Krugman writes: "Perhaps in a better world we could count on the news media to sort through the conflicting claims. In this world, however, most voters get their news from short snippets on TV, which almost never contain substantive policy analysis. The print media do offer analysis pieces – but these pieces, out of a desire to seem 'balanced,' all too often simply repeat the he-said-she-said of political speeches. Trust me: you will see very few news analyses saying that Mr. Romney proposes huge tax cuts for the rich, with no plausible offset other than big benefit cuts for everyone else – even though this is the simple truth. Instead, you will see pieces reporting that 'Democrats say' that this is what Mr. Romney proposes, matched with dueling quotes from Republican sources."
Indeed, one could apply the criticism to much of the media's coverage of our our own electoral and policy issues. And like the American people, Filipinos do not generally take the time to study an expert's lengthy study to help him understand. But without the media's efforts to clarify and explain, to reduce the complexity in terms ordinary people can understand, the Filipino public is just like the American people who are left to flail in the wind when a policy storm breaks.

text: I just realized there is a leak coming from my main floor bathroom and dripping into the basement. Opened access panel and cannot see where it is coming from (ruled out shower) however it appears to be coming from the sink drain although we cannot see where the drain in going. Must be somewhere under the floor although there is no visible drain pipe in the basement. Where does the drain pipe from the bathroom sink go? is it possible it runs under my nice tile floor??? No connection to anything can be seen.

Fedora 9 released May 13th, 2008
has 7450 maintained source packages (this includes packages added post-release)
Fedora devel as of Aug 6th,2009
has 8639 source packages
That 12 month span between Fedora releases saw a growth of 2235 packages (not including packages added post F-7 release that were common to both) for and average of 186 packages a month.
The 27 month span since F-7 release saw a growth of 3524 packages for an average of 130 a month
The 15 month span since F-9 release saw a growth of 3524 packages for an average of 79 a month
These are actually an undercount on repository growth because of the way we doing things. Branches grow over time after release date, and new packages would be included in both F-7 and F-9 during the release overlap associated with the F-9 testing period. So with that caveat in mind..what does this mean?
It definitely looks like we are slowing down in our rate of repository growth. But my previous analysis looks like our maintainer pool isn't slowing down like that yet. I would need to repeat this analysis including F-8 and F-10 to confirm that and see if they fall on the same trend. This may point to a concept of an effective carrying capacity for the size of a repository, It's not really surprising for a number of reasons.
For completeness the same sort of analysis can be done for Debian and Ubuntu making use of the scripts found here:
Debian has long release cycles so its harder to test the carrying capacity trend with Debian data, but it is instructive as a realtive comparison of a mature project. If there is an inherent carrying capacity effect has Debian as a more mature project reached it? Maybe they have.
Number of source packages in etch main: 10221
Etch release date: April, 2007
Number of source packages in lenny main: 12176
Lenny release date: Feb, 2009
That 26 month span between releases saw a growth of 1955 packages in main for an average of just over 75 packages a month.
That average packages per month for Debian is similar to where Fedora is now in the last year. That's interesting.

2011 MM&M Small Marketing Team of the Year: OxyContin
MM&M Small Marketing Team of the Year: OxyContin
But here's where the traditional patent expiry narrative makes a U-turn. After the generics make a splash, the innovator files suit against the infringers, regains patent protection through a series of court rulings, and the generic versions are, one by one, withdrawn.
The patent holder in this case was Purdue Pharma, and the generics firms included heavyweights Teva, Endo and Mallinckrodt, all of whom seized an opportunity to profit off a very popular, albeit much abused and misused, prescription pain med. After successfully defending its intellectual property, Purdue agreed to temporary licenses, letting some copies remain through 2009 and collecting royalties on sales. A court reaffirmed Purdue's OxyContin patent, though not before the company had already slashed some 1,800 jobs. After all, OxyContin represented the better part of company revenues.
But that's only half the story. With patent protection restored, and generics exiting the market, things were looking up. Then, in May 2007, in the midst of resolving the infringement suits, Purdue saw another setback when it was charged with misleading the public about the safety of OxyContin prior to 2001. It paid $634 million in fines, one of the largest government-imposed penalties on a pharma manufacturer at the time.
Besides pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of introducing misbranded OxyContin into interstate commerce and being suspended from participating in federal health programs for 15 years, CEO Michael Friedman and two other senior executives were pushed out. Friedman was replaced by the president of Purdue Pharma, Canada, John Stewart, and the Stamford, CT, company signed a corporate integrity agreement.
Since then, Stewart & Co. have turned the ship around, taking steps to ensure appropriate promotion and prescribing of their flagship product, as well as to reduce abuse and diversion. The pioneer of pain is once again in the innovator's seat, and worthy of being named MM&M's Small Pharma Marketing Team of the Year.
Promotion has been conservative, owing to the product's profile. OxyContin, an extended-release version of the oxycodone schedule 2 narcotic, is indicated for moderate-to-severe pain when a continuous, around-the-clock analgesic is needed. An important product for patients with cancer and others with chronic pain, the drug has been a target of misuse. This propensity puts the brand team in a difficult position in terms of advertising. HCP-oriented communications are heavy on risk information, emphasizing OxyContin's black-box warning that the drug's abuse liability is similar to that of morphine. Nevertheless, as of the 12 months ending October 31, Purdue had grown the 13-year-old drug by 13%, according to IMS Health figures, a remarkable feat considering the aforementioned challenges. A privately held firm, Purdue declined to comment on its OxyContin marketing strategy for this article.
Advertising in professional publications has been consistent, with $2.3 million spent during the 12-month period ending in August, according to SDI, up slightly from $2.2 million during the year-ago period. OxyContin ads in Monthly Prescribing Reference (MPR) emphasize the drug's flexibility in terms of dosage strength.
There are currently seven available strengths in the US, ranging from 10 mg to 80 mg. OxyContin is not advertised on television.
With OxyContin revenues returning, Purdue has jumpstarted research into other products and has once again become a leader in helping patients deal with chronic pain. In June, the FDA granted approval for Butrans (buprenorphine), a seven-day patch for pain, and another potential blockbuster. And in April, Purdue received FDA approval for a new version of OxyContin, in an effort "to make the tablet more difficult to manipulate for the purpose of intentional misuse and abuse," according to a statement. Until new clinical trials are conducted, however, Purdue may not claim that the reformulation is less abusable than its predecessor.
Opioid abuse is a societal problem, particularly among teens. According to the CDC, nonmedical use of prescription opioid painkillers was associated with about 306,000 emergency department visits in 2008—on par with ED visits for cocaine and heroine.
In a category like this, access and safety are the main goals. To that end, in July FDA and Purdue completed a Risk Management and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program for OxyContin. (Sponsors of long-acting and extended-release opioids were notified last year that their products would require one.) The company launched a dedicated website for the program, OxyContinrems.com, to help physicians and patients better understand the safety risks involved with the drug. The HCP portion of the site enables physicians to follow a link to an interactive training program and confirm that they have read the educational materials and understand the major risks associated with the drug, as well as how to appropriately select and educate patients.
Purdue has also maintained unbranded websites for consumers and HCPs, such as IntheFaceofPain.com (launched in March 2010) and PartnersAgainstPain.com, both of which feature educational materials and tools for pain sufferers. IntheFaceofPain.com also includes an "advocacy toolkit," which encourages patients to share their experiences with pain on social network sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Runners up for MM&M's Small Pharma Marketing Team include Gilead HIV pills Truvada and Atripla, both of which have posted roughly 20% sales growth this year off large bases. Truvada also boasts potential upside from a recent trial showing a preventive effect.

no, but i have shot a few logs...was aiming at the cans....
seriously, i keep a box count of ammo that i send out the barrel.... nothing else.
I've been shooting at the range a few times and finally broke down and bought a Glock.
Do you log usage for maintenance or tracking purposes on your weapon? Been in many hobbies and activities prior to shooting that it was beneficial to keep a log and was curious if this was common for shooting.
no, but i have shot a few logs...was aiming at the cans....
seriously, i keep a box count of ammo that i send out the barrel.... nothing else.
It's best just to track your usage and round count for a normal month then use time to determine maintenance. By usage I mean dry firing which can work the springs too. Usually we replace the springs except the recoil spring every 5000 cycles ($8.00 from ZEV). The striker every 15,000 rounds which is yearly for my G 35. Glock reccommends replacing their recoil spring every 5000 rounds but I put an aftermarket one in and have at least twice that on it. All these numbers are is a basic guideline and most people won't keep an exact round count or dry fire count unless of course you have an ammo sponsor then they will know. It's only annoying when your competition gun breaks but I'm anal about my carry gun (G22 Gen4) firing so that gets the best maintenance so it'll go bang at the appropriate time.
Welcome Robertov416. I like to keep up with my firearms, By knowing how much I shot that mo.And what pistol or rifle I used .And what ammo I'm using also. Now if I use any one of my firearms,I will clean it every time. The ones I use the most,Then every 6mo's I will do a break down completely...
I keep loose track of how many rnds I put thru my carry weapon but not the rest of them, use up too much paper
Gotta help save them trees doncha know
I haven't been logging usage, although it's probably a good idea. I keep loose track by keeping up with the number of rounds I've used, so I know I've fired about 5,870 rounds in the year since I returned to shooting. Maybe a set of logs is something I should consider.
I keep a count of the number of rounds fired for each gun.
Well, I can break mine down by firearm too.

Emotional finale for Maestro Ling
Garrett Harris 2 p.m., May 29
Benjamin Arellano Félix, the former leader of the Tijuana Cartel, received a 25-year prison sentence today in federal court in San Diego. UT San Diego reported today that 25 years was the likely sentence after Benjamin had plead guilty to racketeering and money laundering charges in January.
Benjamin is the second oldest of seven brothers. He is the 4th to receive prison time. The oldest brother, Francisco Rafael, served 15 years in prison and is now free. A younger brother, Ramon, was killed by police in Mexico. Brothers Eduardo and Francisco Javier are currently serving prison terms.
The two remaining brothers, who have not been convicted or killed, are not wanted by law enforcement agencies in the United States.

Peru's Sol Rises to 3-Year High as Europe Optimism Spurs Demand
Peru's sol rose to its strongest level in more than three years as speculation European policy makers will agree on steps to contain the region's debt crisis spurred demand for higher yielding assets.
The sol rose 0.1 percent to 2.6955 per U.S. dollar at today's close, from 2.6975 yesterday, according to Deutsche Bank AG's local unit. The currency earlier touched 2.6950, its strongest level since April 2008.
Overseas investors allowed forward contracts to expire as aversion to risk eased, said Fernando Garcia, a forward currency trader at Banco Internacional del Peru in Lima.
"There's no longer a strong demand for dollars from offshore investors," which led Peruvian banks to sell the currency locally, Garcia said.
Peru's central bank bought $123 million in the spot market today to slow gains in the sol. It paid an average 2.6960 soles per dollar, according to its website.
The central bank sold dollars in the spot market in September to prop up the sol after Europe's debt woes and weaker U.S. economic growth prompted investors to seek less risky investments.
The European Central Bank may announce a range of measures tomorrow to stimulate bank lending, including a cut in the benchmark interest rate, said three euro-area officials with knowledge of policy makers' deliberations.
The yield on the nation's benchmark 7.84 percent sol- denominated bond due August 2020 fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 5.69 percent, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg. The bond's price rose 0.13 centimo to 114.55 centimos per sol.

Date of Stay: October, 2004
Very nice quite campground in the pocono mountains. Large olympic size pool, new bathrooms, store, game room, exercise room, luandry facilities. Near state gamelands, stream fishing, and hiking trails. Tobyhanna state park is a short drive away as well as many other pocono attractions. Probably the friendliest, hardest working ownership I ever met.
Date of Stay: October, 2004
Nice campground, bad location. Campground is located just off Interstate 78. It is very noisy at night with all the truck traffic. They want to nickel and dime you to death as well. They even charge you to fish in their onsite pond.
Date of Stay: July, 2004
This is a very busy and crowded campground on the weekends. The public road that runs through the park is a big drawback. Many locals using the road do not obey the posted speed limit. It is extremely difficult to maneuver the narrow roads and small sites. We had a reservation for a lake front site but could not access it. Our trailer bottomed out trying to go down the road to the lake front site. Luckily they were able to accommodate us and put us in another site. If you have kids and you are looking for a lot of activities, it's great. If you want a more laid back atmosphere, stay away.

House Bill By Marshall Griffin • Feb 21, 2013 knittymarie / Flickr State and local-level school officials would be required to develop guidelines for teaching evolution under legislation making its way through the Missouri House. If passed, school districts would have to, "encourage students to explore scientific questions" regarding the "strengths and weaknesses" of both biological and chemical evolution. The sponsor, State Representative Andrew Koenig (R, Winchester), says House Bill 179 stresses academic freedom. "It does not mandate curriculum to the teacher," Koenig said. "It's really up to the school district, and if evolution is gonna be taught, it just allows them to teach the scientific strengths and weaknesses."

One, the point on JUCOs is not to suddenly start grabbing JUCOs left and right. It's to strategically and sporadically use them to fill holes. Sure, Bama doesn't win with just JUCOs, but they've used them to fill unexpected holes that developed due to injuries, recruiting busts, etc.
The Gug might be "fine" but it's not the best. And it goes beyond the actually design. A constant desire to upgrade and keep the Gug at the top of the facilities arms race shows a true commitment to the program.
Let's recall that the Gug only got built because the donors threaten to pull the donation as ND delayed the project and tried to get them to move the funds into other projects. The Gug wasn't the result of forward thinking by ND. It was the result of ND being threatened.
I'll start with a who will be an outstanding HC at ND.

The only person making an issue about this is someone who never attended the outing at OSTC. Why do that? IMO, it's purely to stir things up and I don't think there is much that would change my opinion.
Personally I'm a bit frustrated. I made a commitment to RJ and Murph that I would be at OSTC all day in the attempt to host gig visitors and be there if there were any issues that needed attention. Therefore, I didn't come to the gig and actually my wife was dissapointed that we didn't get to the gig or get out on any other trails. Due to the rain, I also didn't get to see half the people there. Then there's the issue of the owner not following through with promised improvements.
Top that with an asshat trying to stir the pot and my patience is done. I'm done trying to please people who really don't get it. This will be my last post in this thread. I don't care if John replies or not, I won't respond.

Review: 2014 Smokin Team Series
39 Attachment(s)
Just received my 156 Smokin Team Series in the mail, and wanted to start a review, as I have seen so many questions regarding Smokin, but it's hard to find reviews on the board.
180 lbs
Stance - 15, 15
Just some background. I was looking for a board that could handle the mountain, would be fun at just cruising speeds, and be able to still handle everything in the park. I'm experienced with jumps, but still a beginner with boxes and rails, so was looking for a board that was capable of both and still have a fun all mountain ride if needed.
This board has thrash rocker. Basically like the C3 for Libtech, however, comparing to a Hot Knife, the rocker section between the feet actually touched the ground but doesn't raise the board off the ground like C2. With the Hot Knife, the rocker section doesn't even touch when placed on the ground. I actually think this could end up being a nice compromise, as the Hot Knife did lose some of that playful ride with the rocker being so small.
The flex is exactly what i was looking for off the snow. Very medium soft, between a Proto and Evo from NS. Much softer than a Superpark.
The board has a beefy Lib Tech, NS like build. The board is actually a little on the heavy side, but I actually don't mind that as if rather have a damp ride during the day for resort cruising once it gets chopped up.
I'll take it out to CO for 5 days in early March, and give a full review. Been also meaning to get a Banana Magic review up. Also had a Greats and a Westmark that I need to review.
necro alert.
i was wondering if anyone else could weigh in on the smokin team ttx? argo perhaps?
im looking for a soft flexing camber dominant board to replace my t.rice. i want something playful and poppy with the responsiveness of camber but still soft enough to butter around and hit side hits. been looking into this board and really like the looks of it. sandwich constructed sidewall, magne-traction, sintered base and looks as though this year is really taking big footed riders into consideration with that 26.3 ww on the 159 or is that a mistake?
I had 18 days last year on the 2014 Team. I love it. It will do what you want. It's a soft between the bindings and has stiffer tips, which let it carve really well but are still fine for butters/fun.
I'm a gearwhore and usually refresh the quiver every year or two but the Team has stopped that cold. It's got the resort/park board category locked in and is untouchable.
39 Attachment(s)
The rocker portion of the board barely touches in the center, and then extends out camber.
The board has plenty of pop. I'd say the board is right in the middle spectrum of damp and lively. It does a solid job of eating up chop, and you can really push it.
One thing I was surprised about was that you can euro-carve this thing back up the hill. That shocked me for such a soft board.
I am not a good rail rider at all, so I can't contribute much to the conversation there. I try to do it, and press as much as I can, and the board did seem to lock in. But I don't do any of the big park stuff.
It's pretty buttery. Tip and tail are pretty soft, and the middle seems to stiffen up.
I'd recommend it for someone that likes the profile of the board. For me personally, I like flat camber better, and am considering selling this one, and possibly going back to a Scotty Stevens (Ultrafear).
