We moved into a house somewhere secluded near the beach. Cornwall. It was a nice house; three floors, black wooden beams going around it, white walls and a porch. It had a garage with three different cars in it. One of them was a red convertable Mazda, the other a dark Range Rover, and the last one was a sleek blue Ferrari.
I was holding Asha's hand, staring at her lovingly. I looked behind me. Elena, our daughter was waddling over to us, laughing, causing deep dimples to form on either side of her red lips. She was pale except for her rosy cheeks. She had long, straight raven hair and icy-blue eyes. Her bottom lip jutted out slightly. Her eyes crinkled whenever she smiled.
Asha laughed when Elena bent down to pick up a large rock. Her chubby hand could barely fit around it.
"Come on, Ellie." Asha said, holding out her free hand. Elena giggled and ran to grab her hand. Our family was perfect.

May 15, 2012 at 4:03 pm #1289945
Ok… spent the last two days looking through many of the seemingly endless posts about quilts. And I think my brain's full. So, I turn to you fine people for some help.
I plan on using Climashield due to ease of use, but am unsure of whether to use the 2.5oz, the 5oz, or even the 4oz that OWF has in stock.
I want this quilt to be flexible and usable in temps of 40+. But, I am a hot sleeper. So, I'm not sure if the 2.5 will be enough, or if I should go ahead and opt for the 5oz. And what's with the 4oz? I can't seem to find any info on it.
Also, I want to make the quilt 78" long, 50" wide at the shoulders, and 40" wide at the footbox which will have a drawstring to close it up. I'll also be putting in grosgrain tabs along the edge of the quilt at the neck, stomach, and thigh/knee areas in order to attach some line to snug it up around me if needed.
For the liner and outside I want to use EightD from Titanium Goat.
But, I am unsure of how much material to order.
So… All you wise, wise gear makers out there… Which Climashield should I use and how much will I have to order? Will 3 yards be enough?
And For the EightD fabric… 5 yards?
I appreciate any help here.May 15, 2012 at 4:07 pm #1878000
Also thinking about the Pertex Quantum available over at the Zpacks site. I have a jacket made with it and really like it, but hearing everyone's love for the EightD, I figured it would be better than the Pertex, but my mind's up for changing…May 15, 2012 at 4:07 pm #1878001

I've got a 5 oz apex quilt and it's way warmer than you're looking for if you're warm natured. I say 2.5 all the wayMay 15, 2012 at 4:13 pm #1878002

@whistlerLocale: www.peaksandvalleys.weebly.com
I made a summer quilt for temps 40+ and the 2.5 Apex delivers without fail. I'd say if you run warm (like I do) than anything thicker will be much too warm for comfort. I used a cheapo LaFuma 700 Extreme XL synthetic bag ($69) for about 4 months of my thru-hike last year (from Waynseboro, VA all the way to Katahdin and never swapped back out for my 35* WM bag even going through the Whites…though I did stay in a number of huts). The lafuma is about the same warmth as my 2.5 Apex quilt (quilt is a bit warmer actually) and the quilt weighs 14.8 oz. while the sleeping bag weighs 1.5 lbs (go figure). I used almost all 3 yards of the Apex and kept it huge (so it helps cut down on breezes and I can thrash around in it and still be comfy.May 15, 2012 at 4:25 pm #1878004
Hmmm, well alright then. 2.5oz sounds like the winner as to insulation. Awesome, it will be even lighter and more packable then.
And 3 yards will be enough?
Anyone have opinions on EightD vs. Pertex Quantum? Or how many yards I'll need?May 15, 2012 at 4:47 pm #1878008

2.5yds insulation 5yds nylon will make a quilt upto 88" long by upto 58" wide.
I love the 8d and am sad my personal quilt doesn't use it (it will soon :) )
-TimMay 15, 2012 at 5:35 pm #1878032
Looks like 5 yards EightD with 2.5 yards of Climashield Apex 2.5oz.
Excellent. Thank you all for your help.May 15, 2012 at 6:05 pm #1878044

Dion, you must have been reading my mind lately…
I have wanted to make this very same thing…
I had already decided to go with the 2.5 from Thru-Hiker.
I really loved the idea of using the 8D from Ti Goat simply due to low cost and the idea of low weight… (I would really like the black though…I was hoping it would be in by the end of April, but it is not listed on the site… so I guess it would be the green…)
But I also eyeballed the Pertex that Joe has too…not to mention the M50 as well as the M90 from Thru-Hiker. I like the idea of a more "waterproof" exterior, but I like the overall less weight of the 8D (and again, the slightly less expensive price tag…)
I had planned to purchase 5 yds of whichever material I decided on and just ordering 2 yds of the 2.5 oz Climashield Apex. I had read that the Climashield comes a hair longer (although this is not verified and I would only actually plan for 2 actual yards). So, after I made my cuts in the material, I was planning to fold the material over the Apex so I would only have to close in 3 edges. Of course I will use a flat cord in the footbox to create a footbox, and I will probalby use ~ 4 snaps at the foot end up to about 15" up and then do the loops to tie the quilt closed if needed.
Finished, I am planning 50" at the neck, tapering out to ~54" at the shoulders and then down to about 40" at the footbox. I would like it to be 72" long (finished).
I am a little concerned though about holding the Apex in place inside the quilt, so I was thinking about running a single stitch all the way around the quilt about 3-4" from the outer edge to stabilize the Apex. Do you plan to do anything similar? I was not planning to catch the Apex in the outer most hem around the edges so that it would have a cleaner look, although I am not sure what the best method would be. I would be curios to hear your thoughts on this…
Anyway, I would love to see your progress and of course the finished product!May 15, 2012 at 8:31 pm #1878081
Here's my quilt in cases you missed it a while back
http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=61312May 15, 2012 at 8:41 pm #1878084
Nice quilt! I like the colors too. Great job. What kind of temp rating do you get with that quilt and how does the M50 perform for you considering water resistance and breathability?
I plan to not sew my foot box closed though because I would like to have the choice to be able to open the quilt completely flat.
Also, it doesn't look like you sewed the Apex down except maybe around the edges of the quilt. Is this correct? Does the Apex seem to migrate any?
Does the top of the quilt actually close up any, or is it just cinched up a little due to the shock cord in the top hem? I will also apply a single snap at the head end and would like to cinch it tighter if needed with more flat cord and a cord lock…
Thanks for sharing…
Dion, sorry for sidetracking your post…hopefully it will help some though… :)May 15, 2012 at 8:53 pm #1878089
I have used it into the 30's wearing layers (hooded MB thermawrap). It breathes well enough and sheds water great so far. I made it by sewing the perimeter inside out, then flipping it outside in and then making a fold which creates a mini baffle with the cinch cord at the top, the apex doesn't shift. I didn't use a snap but the shock cord cinches it well in cold mode and is not neccesarry when wearing a hooded jacket or above 45F.May 15, 2012 at 8:56 pm #1878093
Thanks KC. Good to know info!
I need to get this stuff ordered…it will give me something to do… :)May 15, 2012 at 9:11 pm #1878099
You welcome. The #1 reason to make this quilt is because you can't buy one! No one "openly" sells 10oz synthetic quilts! Everyone should have one.May 16, 2012 at 6:47 am #1878153

Better to stabilize with a row of stitches all the way around maybe 1/2" or 1" from the edge.
If you do 3" or 4" you will have a spot at the edge where there's no insulation because it will shift a little.May 16, 2012 at 8:01 am #1878185
I wouldn't call it sidetracked just yet, still info that applies… Glad to hear more discussion about all of this.
So, about the stabilizing of the edges… I had an idea…
I was thinking of just sewing up the insulation with the outer edge and have the top a little longer and wider to fold around the exposed edge of insulation, kind of like a flat felled seam. Think that'd work?May 16, 2012 at 8:14 am #1878193
Jerry AdamsBPL Member
@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
I think I understand you and I think that would work
As long as there is a continuous row of stitches that go through the insulation and at least one of the pieces of fabric, probably better to go through both pieces of fabric.
Within 1/2" or 1" of the edge of the insulation. Less than this – you'll miss a few places or it will just barely capture the insulation which can then pull out from the row of stitches. More than that and the insulation will pull away from the actual edge of the quilt so the effective width of the quilt will be less.May 16, 2012 at 7:53 pm #1878440
Dion…I like your idea of using the Flat Felled Seam to help hold the insulation in place. Are you planning on doing this around the entire quilt or just at the top?May 16, 2012 at 10:16 pm #1878483
I was planning on doing it all the way around. I'll only do a drawstring enclosure around the footbox, I think. And I think I can incorporate the drawstring into the felling of the seam. I dunno for sure, but that's what I'm gonna try.
Even in cold whether, I've taken to just tucking in the edges of a blanket beneath me to keep out drafts… I don't really move when I sleep. So I'm not really worried about anything other than the footbox laying flat around me.May 17, 2012 at 3:31 pm #1878750
Chris MuthigSpectator
@cmuthigLocale: Georgia
You can definitely incorporate this sort of seam into the channel. The first time I made a quilt with my girlfriend's help, this is how we did it. Since then, I have made my quilts trying to use less fabric, so have been forced to do it other ways.
One thing to note though is that you will have a fluff of insulation rubbing against your drawcord using this method, if I understand your notion correctly. I don't usually notice this as a problem, but I haven't used my quilts long enough to be sure yet either.
Also, I was on the AT last weekend in horrible rain and chilly temps for GA (in the 50's), and I felt wonderfully cozy in my 2.5oz quilt, long sleeves, shorts and a beanie. I would consider myself a bit of a cold sleeper too.May 17, 2012 at 8:47 pm #1878848
Good to hear about the coziness of the 2.5oz insulation.
And as to your mention of the drawcord rubbing against the drawcord… should I be concerned about that?May 18, 2012 at 5:17 am #1878915
Chris MuthigSpectator
@cmuthigLocale: Georgia
I don't really think so. As long as you aren't really rough on that drawcord. In my quilts that are made that way, I haven't seen any kind of problem with it.
I made a prototype underquilt out of a 5.0 oz Apex top quilt and allowed the drawcord along the sides, front and foot contact the insulation. I have seen the insulation pulled around a bit in that instance, but that has a long of dragging the quilt along the drawcord. Much more than I think you would see at the head of a top quilt.
If you want to be really fancy, you could make the stitch the way you currently envision it. Then top stitch it through the middle, separating the channel space from the insulation space with a row of stitches.May 18, 2012 at 9:41 am #1878966

Hi Dion,
I completed my first synthetic quilt a month or so ago, and did the seams more or less the way KC did. Here's a pic:
Note I left the Apex a little wider than the shell fabric, then trimmed before I turned the quilt right side out. Made pinning much less fiddly, esp. with the thicker 5 oz Apex.
Loops for straps were placed between the two layers of shell, facing inward. Drawcord channels at foot and head end were made from separate strips of fabric, folded in half, and also placed between the two shell layers. I found this easier than trying to fold extra fabric around the thick, springy insulation. And no problem with drawcord rubbing on insulation.
The one thing I'd do differently is placement of the unseamed "gap" necessary to turn the quilt right side out. I put it in the head end, and had a difficult time getting all the layers to line up and the insulation to stay in place when I went to top-stitch the gap closed. And placement at the head made the sloppy sewing visible. Doing it again, I'd prob. leave the smallest gap possible in a side seam near the foot (so concealed by footbox closure), and baste one layer of shell fabric to the insulation before turning.
Of course, with the thinner 2.5 Apex, all this may be easier.May 18, 2012 at 12:19 pm #1878997
Thanks for the info! Question though…before sewing, it looks like you layered as such:
Is this correct? I am picturing it in my head and it seems to make sense, but wanted to ask to be sure first. This seems like it would be an easy way to sew it all together without having to go back and adding seams around the perimeter to lock down the insulation. But I assume that if I were to layer the pieces as said above and then sew 3 edges, I can then simply flip the quilt right side out and then close the top of the quilt.
I do plan to add a separate channel in the material for the drawcords at the head and at the foot of the quilt though.
Anyway, I just ordered 5 yds of the 8D from Ti Goat and 2 yds of Climashield Apex, 4 yds of 1/4" flat cord and 1 yd of 1/2" grossgrain from Thru Hiker to make the loops with. I plan to add 4 snaps along the bottom to snap the foot box together. I am hoping that I will end up with a sub 10 oz quilt! Anyway, I got a message saying that the stuff from Thru Hiker has already shipped so now I just wait on Ti Goat…hopefully it won't be long…
And thanks Dion for this thread…it inspired me to quit thinking about it and to just try it…

Thank you for your question. If your wife had had her postnatal check and everything is OK there is no reason why you cannot commence intercourse. You will need to use contraception if you do not wish her to get pregnant as the ovary can start releasing an egg 6 weeks after delivery if she is not breast feeding day and night exclusively. Please consult your obstetrician regarding her pain if you have not already done so. They will also help with contraception. Best wishes

While Veloce Ltd. made a few iterations of motorcycle before creating their own engine around 1910 (as explored in an earlier post), very few of these earliest 'Veloce' models have survived. A few engines are laying in warehouses waiting for frames, but to my knowledge there are less than half a dozen of the earliest machines left intact.
It was a surprise to see this 1911 3 1/2hp 'Standard' Veloce, which recently sold on ebay for A$50,000, and it is entirely possible that this is the oldest intact Velo in the world. The engine number (#X129 - frame is A13744) is lower than the previous claimant to the title (#154), although there is some question whether the engine alone was supplied by Veloce to a dealer in Australia, to install in their own chassis, as was common in the day.
The first owner of the bike is documented as a resident of Benalla, Victoria, in 1911, who purchased the machine for 40 Guineas. It's truly a 'standard' product from the day, with direct belt drive and little braking power, the front having nothing at all to retard progress; the rear has a typical 'spoon' pressing on the dummy rim for the drive belt. Starting is push-and-bonk, and as basic as these machines were, they would have been very reliable in the day, with a decent Bosch magneto, and little else to go wrong!
These early Veloce sidevalvers were based on a Belgian Kelecom engine, installed in a chassis which is either Triumph made or on their pattern, as they are identical. Ironically, Triumph themselves made a machine which is the spitting image of this Velo, but with their logo cast into the crankcases. One could order engines thus from Kelecom's concern, or make them to pattern yourself while paying a licensing fee for the privelege.
There are a few suspect details on the machine, which could be rectified with a little research and effort - most glaring is the transfer, which is a shortened version of a later 'Velocette' logo, introduced with their later two-strokes; the Veloce should be in blocky, Wild-West lettering - examples of the original paint still exist (see pic below)!
If you have a hankering for the 'Oldest' of a major motorcycle manufacturer, here's your chance - it will be tremendously cheaper than the Oldest Harley, Indian, or Norton!

A worrying story that one.
Quote from: yor_on on 28/02/2011 08:41:35A worrying story that one.Yes, it's the larvae that can't form their shells. It certainly got my attention when I heard about it. I hate to think what would happen if it had a similar effect on a lot of other sea creatures. Would the entire ocean food chain suddenly collapse?
If the oxygen lever really shrunk 50% it should mean your babies born into a world, constantly of short breath, and, just guessing here, it should also mean that species not needing that much oxygen should flourish, taking a larger part of the world than those needing oxygen.

You could suppose, if you so desired, that the grand construction of humanity's unique accomplishment, the abstract model of the universe, is nothing more than the same small set of ideas remixed and rearranged over and over. Let us say there are seven original ideas, or perhaps 94, as it is with matter. The number is really irrelevant ... Read More

For many, many years now Hollywood has been going back in time to remake films and TV shows for new audiences. Sometimes this works out but as most of you know that isn't always the case. The newest TV show to get the 21st century update is V, which originally aired in the 80's as a mini-series and went on to become a short lived television show. L... Read More

According to Karl Popper, one of the strongest motives for scientific discovery is the search for truth. The growth of Science leads to a growth in knowledge.
Lead was originally used to reduce the noise of machines. However, it was later found to have detrimental effects to human health.
CFC was invented as refrigerant but it causes the depletion of ozone layer and thus global warming.
It is the responsibility of government agencies to ensure the appropriate uses of scientific inventions. The Food and Drug Administration regulates and supervises food safety and pharmaceutical usage.
The profit-driven commercial firms, such as that of cosmetics, may disregard potential hazard of certain chemicals.
Scientists may foresee the potential dangers of nuclear fission but if they are deterred by such concerns, nuclear technology would not have been developed as an alternative source of renewable energy.
Genetic engineering evokes ethical concerns which is seen to be morally wrong by many religious conservatives.
When Albert Einstein realised the abuse of his mass-energy equivalence equation to make nuclear bomb, he devoted his later life to campaign against such misuse.

We stayed here to visit the observation field at Cherry Springs. This park helped because the ranger station at the park is the same one for cherry springs so we got weather updates and visibility reports. There is No cell service or TV signal in this park which made the ranger station that much more useful when planning our nightly trip to stargaze. The bathrooms were clean and the ranger was helpful. We will definitely stay here again. Even though the sites are small we had no issue maneuvering around the campground or setting up in the site. - Grant7890

Lyman Run State Park is a park with a lot of promise, but, even though I enjoyed our stay, it falls short on a number of areas. The campground is split into two areas about a mile apart, Dagget Run and Lower Campground. Dagget Run is a long narrow area tucked into a crease in the mountain. It can accommodate good sized rigs in about half the spaces. The campground loop road is not paved and therefore, camping near the front brings quite a lot of dust and noise from traffic, even though it's a small park. The Lower Campground, also gravel, is more spread out on a hillside and seems to have more larger spaces, but access and turns sometimes require some creative solutions. Not impossible, just interesting. Lower Campground also contains the dump station, which was minimal, but seems adequate for the size of park. Bath houses are fairly new and in are very nice. PA's updates are coming along nicely in this area. Most campground bath houses we've been to are nicer than mine at home. There is a small beach at the lake and several trails for hiking. This is a pretty mountainous area of the state and travel with larger vehicles can be challenging at times. Beware: as of now, there are two main roads into this park and neither is RV friendly, as maintenance is on-going, both from Galeton and Cherry Springs. 20 mph is the rule of the day and broken asphalt and potholes are the norm for about 10 miles of road. If you value your alignment, take your time. I suspect this situation will be rectified in the near future judging from the activity we witnessed. The concessions for snack bar and boat rental are substandard, and when the crowds come in, expect to be disappointed if you want a boat or burger. They seem to be run by less-than-attentive teens who lack basic communication/sales skills, and aren't really concerned with customer satisfaction. We started hiking one of the trails, which was very picturesque, but soon ran out of blazes and trail. Apparently budget cut-backs have caused trails to grow shut due to lack of maintenance? The other big draw to Lyman is the ATV trails which seem to get plenty of use. I wouldn't call it a nuisance, but you are definitely aware that lots of people are using the trails throughout the day. Kind of made me wish we had one. If absolute peace and quiet are at the top of your list, this isn't the park for you. All in all, we had a very nice stay and I would go back, but probably not at the very top of my list. We do only state parks and there are many others that rate slightly higher and many more that we've yet to visit. - mosseater

Nice small, comfortable, well kept campground if you plan on visiting the canyon. Only 28 sites - sites 22 thru 28 have electric, shared water and are spacious. Sites 23, 25, 27, 28 are dog friendly. Good wash tubs outside restrooms for dishes or clothes. - Breezy2

Would give it a higher rating but no cell or internet service. Mostly level sites. Some a little hard to get into with a big rig. Great dump station and fresh water setup. Nice bath house. Shares parking lot with the main canyon visitor center. Gift shop and education center. The place to go and stay if you want to see the canyon. I would go there again. - camper19709

Leonard Harrison state part has a rather small campground. A campground map is available from the Pennsylvania State Parks web site. All non-electric sites are among trees. Sites 12, 14, and 19 are among some tall pine trees and are great for hammocks. The electric sites (except for 23 and 25) are in the open. Avoid site 6, it is right next to the pathway to the bath house. The bath house is fairly new. There is only one shower in each of the men's and women's rooms. There is a family rest room that also has an accessible shower. - kanling

Canyon Country is the polar opposite of campgrounds with 'cookie-cutter housing development' layouts featuring row upon row of identical sites. Lots of trees, varied - almost random - sites in a rustic setting. An out-of-the way campground, to be sure, but not impossible to find. Owners very nice. Most sites and interior roads could benefit from a new layer of gravel to control the mud created when it rains. We would stay here again. - RamWagon
Aug 2015 - $36.00
Sites and roads are a little tight. The main entrance area is also a bit confusing. The main office is nestled in the campground not at the front of the park. Make sure you get directions from the main office or you will be taking some scary dirt roads if you follow your gps or smart phone.
The amenities are fine, nothing really to complain about. It's just a bit rustic. Everything could use a new coat of paint, but it wasn't dirty...just needs a bit of updating.
There is not a ton to do locally after you spend some time looking at the PA Grand Canyon (it's pretty) and maybe drive around to antique. I don't think I would go back, not because of the campground, but more because there isn't a lot to do in the area. - 4njcampers

We love the Wellsboro area, and this was our third visit to Canyon Country Campground. The campground is small, rustic, and privately-owned, which is nice since you get personalized attention from owners and their dog Misty. The whole campground is heavily wooded, which increases the sense of privacy, although (as with most campgrounds) you cannot reserve a specific site and you are placed on the smallest site that will accommodate your rig, even if larger sites are available. This time around we were placed on site 3, which accommodated our 26' travel trailer well enough, but required creative parking in order to fit my truck on the site as well. We wound up having to squeeze the truck in along the front edge of the trailer and at the very edge of the woods, which didn't leave us any room to walk around the entire truck. I saw other campers park their tow vehicles perpendicularly at the rear of their sites. The sewer pipe is the non-threaded type, so you will need either a rubber sewer hose seal, or use some of the plentiful rocks to weigh down the fitting end. Also, the sewer hose is mid-site, and my RV drain is at the rear of my rig, and this particular site is un-level enough that my sewer hose had to run uphill from my camper to the pipe. I remedied this by placing more rocks under my sewer hose support to get the hose more level, but I still had to manually lift the hose along its length as I was emptying the tanks. There is no cable TV here. Our antenna didn't pick up any channels, and we had very weak cellular service (although there is a pay phone by the office!). Wi-Fi is available only in close proximity to the office, and the network is password protected. The rate chart says that only the first hour is free, but the owner told us that the policy is in place just to keep kids from hogging all the bandwidth, and that he wouldn't charge us if we went over an hour (we wound up not using it anyway). Speaking of kids, there is very little for them to do here... except to actually, you know, CAMP. The "playground" is very small, and the game room houses only a pool table and an air hockey table. But there is a nice trail that you can use to hike to Leonard Harrison State Park and the edge of the "Grand Canyon" which we love taking our dogs on (takes us about 15-20 minutes). We didn't use the bathrooms or showers, but I did check them out and they looked very clean. There is also a laundry and dish washing station available. This is our go-to place when we visit the area, and we look forward to returning. - gmanfan1966

The camp host/motel manager was very amicable. The road into the campground was composed of gravel needing some grading and low hanging trees. Unfortunately our entrance of bottom scraping and tree branch slapping did not impress us and damaged our RV. We were assigned site 9. The site was grass and gravel with full hook-ups. All other uninhabited sites were grass only. The water at our site was a light rust color and smelled strongly of iron. The campground is located behind the motel on a very green and lush looking hill, making for difficult leveling of our motorhome. Our children (ages 6 and 4 1/2 ) were not interested in the dilapidated playground. In general, the campground was very private and we pretty much had it to ourselves. I would not recommend this campground to any motorhome owner due to the difficulty getting in or out without damage. - TnCBurns
May 2006 - $20.00
This campground was very nice. The bathrooms were very clean and had recently been remodled. The owner was very helpful and check in with us to make sure we found everything. I would have given it a 10 but the hookups were in the middle of our two sites and you had to have two sewer hoses to reach. Other than that it was a great place to camp. We will be camping there again and I would recommend it to anyone. - Tweety Girl

This park is a great place if you like being in the wilderness. It is surrounded by the 262,415 acre Susquehannock State Forest. There is a lot of wildlife in the area such as Bear, Elk, and Bobcat. Both camping loops have electric sites in them, with loop 2 being a more shaded area than loop 1. A cold mountain stream runs through the middle of the park and there is a swimming area with a sandy beach. Both the restrooms and the showers are spotless. Trout fishing in the area is said to be very good. Racoons are regular visiters at night. Will camp here again for sure. It is a nice place and a lot of fun too. - GDM
Jul 2009 - $24.00
Nice state park campground with recently upgraded rest rooms and shower facilities. About half the sites have electric. There is a swimming area in the creek with a sand beach. Water comes from mountain streams, so it is quite cold. Great for hot days, but not too good for cooler days. It was in the 70s while we were there, so going in the water was not an option. Only made it in to my knees before I turned around. This park is set in a beautiful forested valley with lots of wildlife and mountain trails. Kettle Creek is known for some of the best trout fishing in the state. There is no cellular service or TV reception. I wouldn't bet on a satellite dish doing much for you either. Sites are gravel, and fairly level. Crew does a good job of maintaining the park. This place is Pennsylvania wilderness at it's best. - divot

We have stayed in this campground about 5 times although we had not visited for about 6 years. Overall, it is nice although sites around the lake are crowded. Worst of all, for us, was the free WiFi service which was worse than it was years ago -- VERY slow and then you get thrown off. There is no excuse for this horrible service except that the owners won't install something we campers can use reliably. We would rather pay extra for good service than have free what is basically useless. When you can't even check your email, that's bad! - RCMicki
May 2016 - $40.00
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign..... As you drive through the park to get to your site, there's a sign about every 15 feet warning you to slow down and other rules of the park. I can imagine during a fully packed park, being careful as you drive around since there are lots of children running about, that safety would take precedence. But the warning and caution signage makes you feel like you are constantly being watched.
Campground was close to the Wellsboro area and the staff was helpful. If I were staying in this area, I'd look into a different campground. - techieguy

Our rate was based on stay of eight nights. We stayed over July 4th weekend. Level site, plenty long for our 60' rig and wide due to trees separating our site (not all sites as wide). The site we had allowed us to get our satellite dish aimed but we had very little Verizon access for our phones or internet (air card). The only downside for us was the dust...being a holiday weekend, the park was packed...with ATVers and the amount of dust from them was staggering. Would have been nice to have the road watered daily to help out. Would have been a nine rating then. Great location for exploring the area...we ride motorcycles and we never lacked for good riding. - Froggi Donna

Very nice park. There was only one other couple staying here this weekend. Looked like they were seasonal. Very quiet of course, and the bathrooms and shower rooms were VERY clean and spacious. A friend recommended this CG, and I am glad they did. We will stay here again. On another note: we checked in about 5pm, the owners were gone for the night and left a note to check-in tomorrow. We never did hook up. When we got home, they finally called and we paid for our site. I was a little worried, but they weren't. Very nice lady. Lots were spacious, room between the sites and they had nice picnic tables and fire rings. We only used the water/electric sites, but they do offer full hookups and there was easy access to a pump station: which is always appreciated. - Ohiojude

This park is right across the road from a restraurant. The park is neat and clean. The owners are friendly. There is a snowmobile/ATV trail adjacent to the park. The park rents ATV's. There is no Cingular cell phone service. You have to go to the center of Coudersport to obtain a cell phone signal. We have stayed in this park several times. - JoeGin2

Jay Rodgriguez secured a classic smash and grab raid with a 37th-minute winner for Burnley - but The Lions were left wondering what might have been after having a couple of penalty appeals turned down in the second half.England U21 international winger Rodgriguez swept home the decisive goal after The Lions failed to deal with a Ross Wallace corner in an otherwise forgettable opening period.But Millwall picked themselves up and battered Burnley after the break, with referee Steve Hooper waving away two shouts for a penalty when sub John Marquis was impeded in the penalty area.Clarets keeper Lee Grant made tremendous saves to deny Liam Feeney and Brian Howard, Marquis had a goal disallowed for offside and then saw his late header cleared off the line as The Lions' just could not find a way through.Whilst obviously disappointed at a fourth successive defeat, Den boss Kenny Jackett was measured in his assessment of the game and the overall situation. He said: "The first half was fairly even, but we gave away a poor goal and that was very disappointing. We did enough and showed a lot of spirit. We are still missing that little bit of luck.I felt we should have had a penalty. John (Marquis) has worked himself a good position and the defender's stuck out a leg but the ref's not given it. We need that bit of good fortune for a decision to go our way.The reality, looking at it from the sidelines, is I think we can match Burnley in most areas, but I still haven't adequately sorted the forward situation. One goal in seven League games speaks for itself and I have to do something about it."Lions Player subscribers can see the full interview with Kenny in which he talks about solving Millwall's goal drought.

Tellulon was a Rebel spy who pretended to be a technician for the Empire.
During the Empire Day festivities of 1 ABY, he resided in the Imperial Fortress on Yavin 4. It was here that that he met an unknown Rebel, sent to meet him by an unidentified Rebel contact. Tellulon spoke of an Imperial named Arlo, who was having second thoughts about being part of the Empire. Arlo had somewhat of a working relationship with Tellulon, as he was an assistant technician. Tellulon suggested to the Rebel that he speak to Arlo about defecting to the Alliance.
He also instructed the Rebel to seek out Colonel Verks when his work was finished.
Behind the scenesEdit
Tellulon, was a Non-Player Character (NPC) in the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. During the Empire Day live event from June 29, 2005 to July 11, 2005 he could be found in the Imperial Fortress. He was part of a quest titled, "Happy Empire Day," which would send players on an important mission throughout the galaxy.
A known depiction of Tellulon shows him as an Imperial officer with a gray hair, dark blue eyes, and fair skin, as generated under the second of six possible Imperial officer spawn templates. While it is possible that this is the actual appearance of Tellulon, some NPCs associated with the 2005 Empire Day event were randomly generated, making it impossible to say with certainty.

Irish Shepherd's Pie
Happy Healthy Holidays!
Shepherd's Pie is an Irish classic. You will often find shepherd's pie in pubs throughout Ireland and England. If you have a meat and potato lover in the family, this dish is certain to please. It can be prepared with minced lamb or ground lamb but many are not fond of lamb, so the following recipe will call for lean ground beef. However, if you like lamb, use it. Just be sure to get the leanest available.
In the interest of time, you can prepare the meat filling the day before if you wish. Simply reheat the filling and top with freshly made mashed potatoes. This bakes for forty minutes. During this time, if you are having visitors, you can enjoy appetizers while the pie warms through. This dish is considered "too hot to pass", so the host or hostess should dish out each serving.
Recipe Ingredients
2 pounds lean ground round beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup beef broth
1 cup cooked mixed vegetables (frozen or left over are fine)
5 medium potatoes, baked and mashed
1 tablespoon butter
Recipe Directions
Brown meat in oil. Drain fat. Stir in onions and carrots. Cook five minutes. Stir in tomato paste, flour and broth. Add cooked vegetables. Transfer to casserole dish. Top with potatoes. Dot with butter. Bake at 350 degrees 30 to 40 minutes.

Greetings, Ted!
Your plants want bright indirect light. They sunburn,
just like we do. I would keep them in the shade, but with some sort of semireflective
surface nearby that reflects sunlight to them without the direct burning rays
touching their fair skin. I do this with many of my hardier plants.
Happy days,

Subject: [Aroid-l] Chlorophyll and Sunlight
Dear List,
I am always tempted to move certain of my plants outdoors
for the
summer. My wife refers to this as having my plants go to
summer camp.
Here in the North (Michigan) many plants weaken if they
live for years
on a window ledge. My typical thinking is that a short
season bathed
in sunlight in a natural setting will re-invigorate a
plant. This
theory is sort of correct. The plants do derive a dose of
vigor once
they overcome the shock of the change.
The problem comes with the transition from one to another
especially going from indoors to out. I see this
described as "sun scald", which entails a kind of
sunburn, perhaps
coupled with desiccation. What this means in practice is
a loss in
appearance, often including the functional killing of the
foliage. While this is usually overcome by the growth of
new, tougher
leaves, there is no doubt that sun scald is a setback.
Some experimentation will show that sun scald is more
than simple
overexposure to intense sun. It will also happen if the
plants are set
out in shady areas, even in what is known as "deep"
shade. One can
also mitigate water loss as a cause by sheltering and
application of
frequent mist. Scalding still occurs.
What is it about the outdoors that causes sun scald?
Here is an example of one of the most severe cases. For
the past few
years I have rejuvenated my Pistia (aroids) with a summer
every year. By September, helped by additions of
fertilizer, my Pistia
are big and bountiful, harboring an abundance of small
flowers, which
indicate horticultural contentment. Over the winter the
individuals regress anew and are ready for summer camp once
When the plants are moved outside, they turn white within
a day or two
of the new harshness. This is sun scald with a vengeance.
To be sure,
tiny kernels of life remain at the plants' centers and
new growth
starts at once. But the bulk of the leaves have not only
been scalded,
they have been bleached white. Within a week the former
green leaves
have been converted to a minor remnant of white mush. The
loss of
color indicates to me that the chlorophyll has been
destroyed. It is
always surprising that the plants are not killed and that
they are
bigger and more vigorous than ever within a month.
I have heard the theory that summer leaves grown outdoors
have a
tougher "cuticle", referring to a transparent layer that
shields the
inner goodies from harshness. I have also heard the
theory that the
leaves arising in outdoor conditions have fewer stomata
on the leaf
undersides. It seems there are hardened leaves produced
outside and
"hothouse" leaves produced under protected conditions, presumably
allowing readier access to what little light there is
indoors compared
with what is received from nature directly.
But is also seems as though the hardened leaves also have
a degree of
screening power against ultraviolet (UV) rays. I assume
here that UV
is what attacks the chlorophyll.
Do we have any authorities on these maters tuning into
the list that
could comment and clear up these matters for me? I hold
out hope that
there are one or two.
Best regards,
Ted Held

A Shoreditch money-transfer business tipped to be partnering with Facebook said today it has transferred over a £1 billion since launching just three years ago.
TransferWise has seen use of its international money transfer service has exploded since last May when PayPal's co-founder Peter Thiel invested in the business. The total volume of cash sent abroad has jumped from £125 million to £1 billion in just 11 months.
"It's a great testament for the need for transparency in financial services," said co-founder Taavet Hinrikus. "It shows how much people need modern financial services - something where is it modern, fast and cheap."
TransferWise operates a peer-to-peer system that matches people looking to send money abroad with people wanting to send money in the opposite direction. The system sidesteps the cost of actually transferring money and Hinrikus estimates it has saved customers as much as £45 million.
The service is the brainchild of two Estonian expats – Kristo Kaarmann and Taavet Hinrikus, the first ever employee of Skype.
News of the £1 billion milestone comes amid rumours that TransferWise is one of three London start-ups in talks with the social network as part of its plans to move into financial services.
TransferWise, which supports 176 currencies, is today also launching its first ever app for Android phones.Reuse content

Hyderabad-born Satya Nadella a potential future Microsoft CEO
Before joining Microsoft in 1992, Satya Nadella was a member of the technology staff at Sun Microsystems.
Seattle: Microsoft Corp has set up a special committee to find a new chief executive after Steve Ballmer announced his retirement on Friday. There are many executives that Microsoft might consider, and Hyderabad-born Satya Nadella is being seen as a potential successor to Steve Ballmer.
Nadella heads Microsoft's cloud and enterprise group, which is coming to the fore as the company struggles to catch up in online and mobile computing. Nadella and his team deliver the "Cloud OS", Microsoft's next generation backend platform.
Previously, Nadella was president of Microsoft's $19 billion Server and Tools Business and led the transformation of the business and technology from client-server software to cloud infrastructure and services. His prior roles include senior vice president of R&D for the Online Services Division and vice president of the Microsoft Business Division.
Before joining Microsoft in 1992, Nadella was a member of the technology staff at Sun Microsystems. A native of Hyderabad, India, Nadella earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Mangalore University, a master's degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin and a master's degree in business administration from the University of Chicago.
The world's largest software company has no anointed successor, and has had only two CEOs in its 38-year history - Ballmer and co-founder Bill Gates.
The following is a list of tech executives that Microsoft might consider:
Tony Bates - Came to Microsoft two years ago as CEO of the acquired Skype and was recently elevated to lead Microsoft's business development and overall strategy.
Terry Myerson - The executive in charge of operating systems, which is still the heart of Microsoft, ranging across PCs, tablets, phones and the Xbox game console.
Satya Nadella - Heads Microsoft's cloud and enterprise group, which is coming to the fore as the company struggles to catch up in online and mobile computing.
Kevin Turner - As Chief Operating Officer for the last eight years, the former Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) executive leads Microsoft's enormous sales organization, but is generally considered to lack the technology credibility to be CEO.
Steven Sinofsky - The former head of the Windows unit was widely tipped as a potential Microsoft CEO until his abrupt departure in November. His reputation has taken a hit since then with the dismal sales of the Surface tablet he launched and the lukewarm reception of Windows 8.
Vic Gundotra - The high-flying Google Inc engineer, key to that company's mobile phone and social initiatives, is a former Microsoft executive who could be tempted to return.
Reed Hastings - The CEO of Netflix Inc is a rising Silicon Valley star and has intimate knowledge of Microsoft's business after several years on its board, until his departure last year.
Paul Maritz - One of the key powers in the early days of Windows, Maritz left in 2000 and eventually ran virtualization firm VMware Inc (VMW.N) until last year. Talk occasionally surfaces that he could return to Microsoft, but he has never indicated any interest publicly.
Bill Gates - The co-founder of Microsoft is still Chairman, but has focused his day-to-day efforts on philanthropy since 2008 when he vacated his office on campus. People close to him say he is not considering a return to the CEO position.

One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. "I bet I could ride a bike," he thought. He waddled over to where the boy parked his bike, climbed on and began to ride. At first he rode slowly and he wobbled a lot, but it was fun! Duck rode past Cow and waved to her. "Hello, Cow!" said Duck. "Moo," said Cow. But what she thought was, "A duck on a bike? That's the silliest thing I've ever seen!"
And so Duck rides past sheep, horse, and all the other barnyard animals. Suddenly, a group of kids ride by on their bikes and run into the farmhouse, leaving the bikes outside. Now ALL the animals can ride bikes, just like Duck!
--Publishers Weekly, Dec. 17th 2001
Grab your funny bone--Shannon (The Shark God, 2001, etc.) rides again! Rather his Duck does, when one day on the farm, he gets a wild idea that he can ride a bike. After the first wobbles, Duck sails past Cow, Sheep, Dog, Cat, Horse, Chicken, Goat, Pig, and Mouse. The oversized animals' reactions range from "How silly" to "Show off" to "Wish I could ride!" Then a bunch of kids come riding down the farm road and park their bikes beside the house and go inside. The next double spread shows the animals staring ahead with gleeful expressions, like a light bulb lighting up--and readers will know immediately what comes next. The scene of all the animals gaily pedaling bikes is hilarious. And when they put them back no one knows that 11 farm animals had ever been on a bike. Brightly colored illustrations display a front now, big-screen point of view with bits of images running off the edges of the spread. The in-your-face perspective of the action punctuates the comedy and the page design is ingenious. Even the end page humorously poses the next challenge for Duck--a tractor. The body language of Duck on the bike looks nothing but plausible. A "quackerjack" of a terrific escapade.
--Kirkus Reviews, Jan. 15, 2002 starred review
One day, Duck gets an idea: "I bet I could ride a bike." And as thought is father to action, he is soon teetering aournd the farm on a bycicle. He rides past the animals, each with its own thgouths about bike riding: the cow thinks it's silly; the sheep is sure Duck will hurt himself; Dog considers it a neat trick; the cat can't be bothered. On a more personal not, the horse is sure he's faster than the bike, and the goat would like to eat it. Then some kids park their bikes near the house, and the animals suddenly become a lot more interested in bike riding: they jump on and take a spin around the yard. The double-page spread of the cow, pig, horse, et. al. pedaling away (some looking particularly fetching in helmets) is worth the price of the book. In fact, this whole bright book is tons of fun. The oversize format nicely accommodates Shannon's sly art, which fills up the pages. Each animal has a distinctive expression that can be easily seen by kids in the back row at story hour--the perfect place to share this exuberant piece.
--Booklist, Feb. 15th 2002, starred review
"One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea," which prompts him to pick up a bike that's been left in the barnyard and start to ride. Along the way, he encounters various animals, each of whom responds wi
Nadine can talk a blue streak, and one day she tells a real whopper: she isn't afraid of anything--no siree! Then her friends call her bluff, and Nadine must enter. . .The Deep. Dark. Woods. Only the woods aren't so scary after all, until the sun sets, that is, and Nadine can't find her friends. What is this boastful bovine to do? Run around in blind terror? Plummet off a cliff? Crash into a stream? Check, check, and check. But is all lost? Doubtful. After all, she is cow, hear her MOOOOOOOOO!

The Red Carpet Insole for High Level Comfort:

It is not because of the shoe itself but because of how it feels when you wear it for any time at all.

All you need to do is buy the Red Carpet insole that can provide you with the level of comfort you have been seeking.
Insoles Beyond the Ordinary
There are all kinds of insoles for sale today and you may have even tried a few different brands or styles yourself already. The problem with most of what is for sale today is that it is not made to last. The gel inserts that you can buy are simple silicon inserts or made of latex and are not going to provide you with any type of long-term solution to your foot pain. To top it all off, those insoles are less than flattering to wear in your heels and often do not fit the heels well, leaving some of the insole showing through. This is particularly true if you are wearing open-toed shoes. What you need are insoles that go beyond the ordinary.
The insole to Change Your Life
The Red Carpet insole is the one that can change the way you think about your high heels. Insoles made by Red Carpet Paris have been constructed after consultation with podiatrists and shoe industry professionals and experts so that they provide you with the perfect combination of comfort, relief and fashion.
