I have just began to plan for a Sept or Oct 2011 trip and would appreciate any advice you have on our itinerary and time spent in each destination. We are retired so we have the time we need. We are walkers, not hikers so easy 1-2 mile walks are great.
We plan to fly into Las Vegas for one or two nights, rent a car and drive to the south rim of the Grand Canyon (140 miles)
From the GC we plan on driving to Page, Arizona and renting a boat on Lake Powell to go to the Rainbow Bridge (140 mile)
From Page we plan on driving to Arches National Park (stay in Moab?) (273 miles)
From Arches we plan to drive to Canyonlands (stay in Moab?)
From Canyonlands to Capitol Reef (156 miles, stay in Torrey?)
From CR to Bryce (115 miles)
Bryce to Zion(115miles)
Zion back to Los Vegas (168miles)
Knowing that we like to walk, explore and view scenery, how long do you recommend to spend in each destination? Is there anything along the way that you loved and that we should not miss? Is there anything we should change? And are there hotels, b&b's that you can recommend? Thanks!

Sounds like a good start so far. There are tons of threads here that have lots of advice on the places you would like to visit. I've done a couple of trip reports on the area if you care to look, just click on my name and scroll to the trip reports.

Grand Canyon I'd spend at least two nights to have one full day, more if you can. Walking along the rim is one of my favorite things to do. It's pretty easy walking and you can always pick up the free shuttle buses to ride to the next stop or back if you get tired. Plan on spending time stopping at the over looks as you exit the park at Desert View.
If you decide to rent a boat to go to Rainbow Bridge on your own, make sure you purchase the detailed lake maps you can get at Glen Canyon. This is an all day excursion and if you're not boaters then I'd recommend taking the boat tour out of Wahweap Marina to Rainbow Bridge. http://www.lakepowell.com/tours/scenic-boat-tours.aspx The last time we took this tour the lake was high enough to see Rainbow Bridge from where they docked the boat so I've never had to do the 1 1/2 mile hike so I can't say how hard or easy it is.
While at Lake Powell you might enjoy the Upper Antelope Slot Canyon tour just outside of Page. It's an easy, easy walk. Also the 3/4 mile hike to Horse Shoe Bend just south of Page. http://www.travelsw.com/southwest-trips/southwest-trips-arizona/horseshoe.htm Another favorite is the 1/2 day float trip on the Colorado River outside of Page. The float trip takes you pass what you view on the Horse Shoe Bend hike.
For Page if you are just doing the boat tour then two nights will work. Add another day for the slot canyon and float trip. Horse Shoe Bend could be worked in the day of arrival.
Easy Arches hikes are Double Arch, Windows, Park Avenue, Landscape arch. If you can muster up enough to do a 3 mile hike, then Delicate Arch is a must see. If not, you can see it from a distance at the Delicate Arch overlook.
Canyonlands Island in the Sky district, make sure you see the Green River overlook which is just a short walk. The Grandview hike is an pretty easy walk and you can just go as far as you want and back. Mesa Arch is short and pretty easy and the view there is seen in many photographs of the area.
While in Moab try to make time to drive the Potash Road Hwy 279 along the Colorado River and watch for petroglyphs. Also drive scenic Hwy 128 to Fisher Towers and back. This is a beautiful drive. If you have time you might also like driving Kane Creek Blvd which is on the opposite side of the road from the Potash Road. There are many more petroglyphs there too.
One full day at Arches, one day for Canyonlands and one day to explore and maybe do another hike in Arches. Arches is only 5 miles from Moab.
Capitol Reef is one of my favorite undiscovered areas. Capitol Gorge is an easy walk in a canyon where you will see the Pioneer Register. Grand Wash is one of my favorites but it's a 2 1/4 mile hike one way. You can just go in as far as you want and then come back. Two nights in Torrey should be enough for one full day to explore the park.
Plan on taking scenic Hwy 12 from Torrey to Bryce and plan on the day site seeing. Lots to do on Hwy 12! The Burr trail is an easy drive on the paved part, just turn around and go back once it turns to dirt.
If you don't want to do any real hiking in Bryce then I'd suggest walking along the rim from Sunset Point to Sunrise point and back. Make sure you see Bryce Point and drive the scenic drive. Two nights and one full day in Bryce should work.
The two mile round trip Riverside Walk in Zion is a must! You probably won't have any problem doing the Weeping Rock trail and the Lower Emerald pools. Might even try the Middle Emerald Pools but the Upper Pools is a hike. The Pa'rus trail is very easy walk and you can do it one way and then pick up the free shuttle bus. I'd spend at least 3 nights in Zion because it's so relaxing.
I've given the basic amount of time, if you want to plan easy days, I'd add as much more time as you can allow for each area.
Sept. & Oct. is our favorite time to be in this area! We are also retired and I just turned 60 and do all the walk/hikes mentioned above.

Not sure about renting the boat for that distance. You could be in for a rude surprise when you fill up on the return.
In November My DW and I got off the train in Salt Lake City, rented a car and drove to Green River. In the week we stayed in Green River we visited Arches, Canyonlands (Island in the Sky), Moab, Goblin Valley and Capitol Reef. Be sure to take the walk out to see Delicate Arch. We spent 2.5 days in Arches. 1 long day to see Capitol Reef and Goblin Valley SP. There some condos etc. in Moab. We decided to save some money staying at the Robber's Roost motel in Green River.

Like Utahtea and tomfuller, I would NOT recommend renting a boat to go to Rainbow Bridge. Lake Powell is gigantic, remote, and potentially very dangerous for small boats. Even if you are boaters, you need to take special precautions and make special preparations, plus the COST involved. All the gas at Powell has to be brought in by tanker from long distances + captive tourist market + gas-guzzeling houseboats & water toys of all types = 3 X normal prices.....
Report Abuse
Wholy COW...I had no idea how expensive it was to rent a boat at Lake Powel http://www.lakepowell.com/powerboats-jetskis.aspx If there are just two people going, it's going to be a lot cheaper to take the tour!
My BIL and SIL brought their ski boat to Lake Powell and we didn't have any problems finding the canyon that lead to Rainbow Bridge but we didn't go down it because we knew we would have to do the hike and BIL had a bad knee. It wasn't that hard to find with the detailed map of the lake we bought at the marina.

I'll just add to the others.
Being of retirement age I know there's a big difference in capabilities depending upon physical condition. So being retired may not cause much to be omitted.
In Arches. Delicate Arch is a bit of a walk and it's mostly uphill going. However, there's nothing difficult. If you've been in the area for a day or two the elevation shouldn't be an issue. I would definitely try to do this hike as opposed to seeing Delicate Arch from the very distant viewpoint.
Stop and rest as required and drink water. Get there a couple of hours before sunset for an amazing view. The walk back is much easier.
When in Capitol Reef also go to Dead Horse Point and do the very short hike/walk to Mesa Arch. This is the only arch I've seen where you're at the top.
In Bryce I would at least hike a couple of hundred yards down Navajo Loop just to get down into the hoodoos. Then walk back up slowly and stop often as the elevation is 8,000 feet.

What great postings! Thanks so much! They have alredy been printed!
emalloy: I enjoyed reading your trip reports and yes, there is a lot of info here but sometimes that becomes overwhelming.
Utahtea: What can I say, thanks for all your knowledge of this area and your time in writing it all down. The timeline and recommendations you gave are very valuable.
Tomfuller: I checked and what I could find out was that Green River is 50 some miles away from Moab. Did you make that drive every day to sites around there?
Dayle: Thanks for confirming what the others have said about no renting a power boat on Lake Powell...did not know it was dangerous.
Myer: What is hoodoos?
Spirobulldog: Would there be a possibility of snow in October?

We are comparing the cost between renting an RV or renting a car and paying hotel. I know you have an RV, could you tell me how much per night for RV Sites?

53 miles from Green River to Moab downtown to downtown in 50 minutes. We had beautiful weather the first week of November.
No threat of snow. $11 worth of gas everyday was worth it to save over $20 more in Moab.
There was a campground near the trailhead for Landscape Arch.
There were campers there in November.
Google Goblin Valley and find out what hodoos are.
Report Abuse
Hoodoos are the vertical spires of orange (or is it red) rocks that are all over Bryce Canyon.
Going down even part way is the only way to really get a feel for the place. Unless you are physically unable, do at least some of this.
Also, for a spectacular sight go to Bryce Point very early in the morning for sunrise (you'll get there in the dark). You will not be alone. Just wear some warm clothes as it's cool and windy there.
If you want to see my photos of most of these places you can see them at:
There are several trips that included the Utah and northern Arizona sights.
I don't know if anybody mentioned. At 62 years of age you qualify for a lifetime National Parks pass for just $10.00 available at the entrance to any park.
Report Abuse
It's not that renting a boat at Powell is dangerous, it's just that it's a BIG, deep lake at high altitude and storms can be severe. You don't want to be caught out in the main channel during one of these.
I know Myer meant to say "while in Canyonlands" hike to Mesa Arch, and Dead Horse Point is actually a UT St park in the same area. Does require it's own entrance fee, but it's worth it! DHP - A few years ago, they put in a very nice new Visitor's Center and a wonderful loop trail for hiking/mtn biking. The route offers 3 different distances for your choice.
Moab is a very unique, fun and funky little town. To me visiting the national parks there and staying up in Green River (which is NOT very appealing) is like going to Venice, Italy and staying in Maestre (mainland). You kind of miss the whole point.
Report Abuse
Obviously Dayle is correct. My brain said Canyonlands and my fingers typed Capitol Reef.
Also, what I wrote is a little misleading. Mesa Arch is a very easy, short hike near the beginning of Canyonlands. It's not in Dead Horse Point.
But still, Dead Horse Point is worth the stop when in the area.
Some beautiful scenery sirectly behing the visitors' center and some great views of a 180 degree turn of the Colorado river.
Report Abuse
DH Point reminded me of the Grand Canyon, but prettier. The turn that Myer describes is really pretty.
You won't need to worry about snow. The trees in Capitol, Reef, Zion, and other areas are very nice on our 2 October trips(2nd and 3rd weeks in Oct). Be sure and drive the area around Timpanogos Cave area near Salt Lake for some great Fall Foliage.
Report Abuse
cd, If you or your DH are age 62 you can get the Senior National Park Pass and that will also get you some camping at half price! WOOT...DH just got his!
Grand Canyon: Mather Campground no hook ups but showers nearby and 30ft limit is $18.00 per night and senior discount $9.00. Nice wooded area. Grand Canyon Trailer Village has hook ups and is $34.50 per night. I don't know if they give discounts at Trailer Village. It's also a very crowded type of campground, but has hook ups if you need them.
Lake Powell: Wahweap no hook ups $23 and Full hook ups $38.00 Because this is though ARAMARK I don't know if they give the senior discount. Full hook up sites don't have as much shade but great views of the lake.
Devils Garden in Arches has beautiful scenery but no hookups. If you decided to spend the night here, then make reservations! We've gotten spoiled and usually camp in Moab to have full hook ups since we usually spend a week in town. http://www.discovermoab.com/campgrounds.htm RV campgrounds can run from $30 - $40. They've gone up! Devils Garden is quite a drive when you need to go to town or want to go to Canyonlands. Since we have a tow vehicle we don't need to move the RV every day so that's another reason we opt for the full hook up. There are plenty of nice BLM campgrounds along the Colorado River on Hwy 128 and Potash Road. I don't know the fees but I'm sure it's reasonable. These are usually no hook up sites.
Goblin State Park has a nice first come, first serve campground if you decide to stop there for the night. no hook ups is $16.00 per nite and they have showers.
Capitol Reef: Fruit Campground in Capitol Reef is one of my favorites! No hook ups but plenty of shade trees and views and at $10 a night ($5.00 senior rate) its a great bargin! It's a first come, first serve campground so you need to get there early in the day. If it's full, there are private campground in Torry. Figure $30 - $35 per nite.
We haven't stayed in Bryce Canyon campgrounds in a long time, we've been staying at Ruby's Inn. We're getting spoiled...LOL! Both North and Sunset Campgrounds are $15.00 per night and $7.50 with senior discount, no hook ups but showers nearby. Both are in wooded settings and we found it hard to find a level site for our 30ft motor home. Ruby's Inn Campground runs $35 - $40 with hook ups. You can catch the free Bryce Shuttle from the campground as long as you are there before Oct. 9th.
Zion: We love Watchman campground which has electrical hook ups. Price is $18.00 ($9.00 senior) for regular campsite and $20.00 ($10.00 senior) for River site. Make reservations as soon as you have dates because this park now fills up fast even at this time of the year! South Campground in on a first come, first serve basis and is also very nice but no electrical it's $16.00 ($8.00 senior). There are a couple of RV parks just outside the park in or near Springdale. The Zion Canyon Campground in Springdale, UT across the river from Zion is not my favorite and around $35 per night. There is a nice looking resort campground in Virgin and it is not only expensive, but you don't see views of Zion there.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have more questions.

If we rented a RV, and knowing the places we plan on visiting, could we get away without having another vehicle?
Report Abuse
Yes. Let me say that when I visit each of the places you list, I have done them usually on seperate occasions taking 3-5 days to give each area the time it needs. Don't just go through each place to check them off your list. Especially when camping in an RV, part of the enjoyment is not rushing through thing. Perhaps you should give us an updated ITEN. There certainly are many places in between you could see.
Report Abuse
The places that are our priority are the ones listed and we are just trying to determine which is the most economical, renting an RV or renting a car and using motels. If we go the motel route, do we have to have advanced reservations? I would really like to wing it so we could stay longer if we wanted but according to Utahtea there are campsites that I should make reservations for...
Report Abuse
cd, I'm not a Utah expert but we used to go out that way a lot and didn't make reservations a lot of the time. In Oct/Nov I'd be comfortable with winging it with hotel rooms AFTER the Grand Canyon stop. I'd go the hotel route too, considering how much moving around you plan to do. There are a lot more hotels in the area then there were when we first starting going out there.
I'd definitely make a reservation IN the park at the Grand Canyon. I've added Gouldings in Monument Valley to my wish list. Here's an interesting article to read -
Enjoy the trip. Seeing Delicate Arch for the first time, after seeing it in textbooks and calendars for years, was a thrill for me. It's just gorgeous out there.

Thanks starrs.

We had a 24 foot motorhome for 13 years and visited all these parks with out a tow vehicle so you should be fine as far as driving around. Just keep in mind the larger the RV you get, the hard it can be to find a place to park. The great thing about the Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion is you can ride the free shuttle buses and leave your RV at the campground.
The two main places to make reservations would be your first stop at the Grand Canyon and your last stop at Zion, so you should be able to get a pretty good idea for dates at those places. If you want to be free to make changes, then maybe skip camping in Arches. Or you can always make reservations for when you think you will be there and then cancel. I think it will cost $10 to do the cancellation. If you don't mind staying in private campgrounds, you shouldn't have a problem getting RV spaces.
It wasn't to many years ago that we could do your trip and not make any reservations, but times have really changed and Zion's Watchman campground is one of the worst places to try and get in on last minute. BUT if you do wait, keep checking online if you can and sites do open up! I know!!!
One more thing, make sure you start your trip AFTER Labor Day. I think it's Sept. 5th year.
Report Abuse
I think you would be wise if you made reservations at hotel/motel or campsites. You would probably be able to find lodging, but it might not be the one you want. I really enjoy the historic lodges myself. I think you will for sure spend more money with an RV. If it were me. I would drive from Las Vegas to North Rim of Grand Canyon. It closes on Oct 15. So you would want to be there a day or two before it closes.
So heres my suggestion--
Oct 10 North Rim of Grand Canyon
Oct 11 North Rim
Oct 12&13 Lake Powell, Best Dam View, Antelope Canyon Tour
Oct 14&15 Bryce
Oct 16&17 Hwy 12, Calf Creek Falls, Capitol Reef
Oct 18 Goblin Valley, Little Wildhorse Canyon, drive on to Moab
Oct 19-23 Moab, Arches, Canyonlands
Oct 24-26 Zion
then back to Vegas
I was trying to arrange this so it would give you good Fall Foliage. You could stay in the lodges and Moab, or you could stay in the campgrounds.
I haven't stayed at any of the campgrounds, but they all look good. Capitol Reef and Arches do not have hookups or showers. Goblin Valley, Deadhorse Point do have showers. The reason I mention this, is that most RV's without hookups are pretty useless for showers. It think the smaller rentals only have like a 6 gallon hot water tank. That isn't going to be a very long shower. And those smaller types the shower is in the same spot as the toilet. The RV rental has always looked interesting and I am for sure going to try it someday. Probably though not on a trip as long as you need. I think I'll give it a go on a long weekend to somewhere that you really can't find lodging. I have always wanted to do it at Great Basin National Park. or somewhere similar.
How adventurous and strenuous do you like your hikes to be?
I love stuff like Angels Landing in Zion, but didn't know what kind of hiking or how much to suggest. There is plenty of variety for everyone.
You could start out with the South Rim if thats the side you really want to see, but don't expect fall foliage there as there really aren't many trees on that side. And you can expect much smaller crowds on the North. I have been to the South 3 times, but never to the North, but I know that they are different but similar. It is high on my list of places to see. The Wave and Lake Powell are also high on my list. You'll have a good time however you end up doing it.
Report Abuse
I happily defer to UtahTea in all things western. She has helped me plan several trips and I consider her the SW USA expert
If you have time to add in the North Rim of the Grand Canyon before it closes for the season, do so. I LOVE it! But in addition to the South Rim, not in place of it. The South Rim has spectacular views. The North Rim feels more like what I always imagined a NP to be like. I adore it. We stayed in a cabin not far from the rim and enjoyed it and the restaurant at the lodge.
Report Abuse
Starrs the reason we wanted the south rim is because we have been to the north rim but it's been so long ago either rim would be just fine
spirobulldog, I'm confused with your order for us. From Lake Powell, on the map, I chose north to Moab to include Arches and Canyonland and as starrs recommended Monument valley, maybe I could include that, then on to Capital Reef at Torrey then hwy 12 to Bryce and then on to Zion. Kinda like a circle. Was there a reason that I am overlooking that you recommended Bryce after Lake Powell? And we are adventurous but not in hiking, we are walkers and lookers
Utahtea, thanks for the AFTER Labor Day tip!
Report Abuse
Oh, I was thinking more in terms of fall foliage and doing a little bit on the way and on the return. Circle would probably be better logistically.
Don't miss the hike to Delicate Arch. It will take you about 2 hours to get to it and then only an hour on the return. Getting to it is all uphill, so it is easy going back. Just take your time and a couple of bottles of water.

For most of these areas, you will find them still quite busy up until mid-Oct! Retirees and Europeans travel after Labor Day, plus the weather in southern UT is wonderful in Sept.
Do all your math and calculations before you decide on RV vs. car/motels. Even small RVs suck down at LOT of gas (consider today's prices) and have BIG gas tanks to fill. It's really very painful.....plus they charge you for miles driven.....plus you need to bring or rent a "kit" from them if you fly in.....things to cook with, clean with, then go buy your food. You can't pick it up until after 1pm and have to bring it back before 11am (depending on company and location), so really you can't count on actually using it for 2 of the days you are paying for. RVing is not cheap!
Report Abuse
I'll be the first to admit that RV's are expensive to rent and plan on only getting 8 to 10 miles per gal. OUCH!
That said a 23-25ft RV is pretty comfortable for two. http://www.cruiseamerica.com/rent/our_vehicles/standard_rv.aspx Water heaters are small but you can take water conservation showers every day. Six gallons of hot water goes a long way because you mix cold water into it. Hot water heats quickly. Since the RV will be driven almost daily, you can fill and dump often. We rented the standard RV 25 ft size from Cruise America back in 1993 and had plenty of room and there was DH, myself and two teenage sons.
With an RV's you only have to pack and unpack once. You can save money by fixing your own meals.
When you look at renting make sure you figure in all costs like check to see if they charge for generator hours. Do they charge for miles?

Your itinerary is part of our 2010 trip, but the other way round.
- 2 nights Las Vegas
- 2 nights Bryce Canyon
- 2 nights Moab
- 1 night Monument Valley / Kayenta
- 3 nights Lake Powell
- 2 nights Grand Canyon / Tusayan
We did some small hikes, but nothing 'substantial'.
I would have appreciated one night more in Bryce, Moab and Grand Canyon.
We mainly stayed in 3-star hotels such as the BW and Holiday Inn.
One recommendation for Bryce Canyon, a B&B in Tropic named B&B Brycetrails. Nice and clean rooms, very quiet setting with a back entrance in the park, and a huge and excellent breakfast at 8am sharp!

Spirobulldog, as much as I would like to see Delicate Arch up close and personal, I don't think I'm up to 2hrs UPHILL but I will view it from the car which I do understand is not halfway as good.
Dayle and Utahtea - after careful examination and all your helpful tips, and for all the reasons given, we have decided to rent a car and stay in motels/hotels

My DW had her knee replaced 6 months before we made the hike out to Delicate Arch. She carried a golfseat/cane all the way. She sat about 5 minutes twice on the way out. It really was worth it. Be sure to walk out through the slot canyon out to Landscape Arch.

A total knee ummmmmmm When you all say uphill, how much of an incline is it?
Report Abuse
I remember several stretches of about 15% which were less than 100 yards long. There are also several places where the trail goes slightly downhill for a short distance.
Unless the temperature is over 85 degrees you should make it if you carry at least a litre of water each.

If you don't make it to Delicate, you can easily make it to Double Arch. Double Arch(not to be confused with double O) is my very favorite arch. It looks pretty cool from the parking lot, but take the 1/4 mile short walk to it and sit under it for a while. Maybe have a sandwich or a snack under it. It has a some shade depending on the angle of the sun.

We were there over spring break one year (and it snowed at the Grand Canyon). There was snow/ice in the crevices on the last part of the trail that worried me a bit. Coming around and seeing Delicate Arch literally takes your breath away. I didn't realize how lucky we were to be the only ones there that day.

My last visit to Arches a year ago, was predicted to be the first 60 degree weekend in March. Saturday tee shirt and sunscreen hiking weather. That night it snowed and Sunday morning I got to visit the windows section of Arches with no visitors, running water and snow! What a TREAT!
Report Abuse
When you do the calculations to make the decision on if you will do the rv or car/motel thing, do look into hotel/motel rates in the wider area where you are staying. We've found that staying in Moab for Arches/Canyonlands can be expensive compared to Green River for example. That means a drive to/from the parks and of course some fuel costs. Sometimes we wing it, sometimes use the discount coupons from the roomsaver magazines, sometimes stop early to be sure of a bed, but if you know where you will be on a specific day making a reservation that you can cancel is a good idea.
We'll be out there in a couple of weeks and I did make a reservation for a couple of nights in Moab at the only motel that had a room last week. We want to do a tour that leaves early in the morning, so Green River would mean getting up before 5 am, not my idea of a good time.
Otherwise when winging it in the shoulder seasons, if all fails head for an interstate and look for an exit with lots of lodging choices, there will be a place to sleep.
Report Abuse
starrs, I could not bring up the video but the link was informative. It did not say anything about the hike being uphill. I wonder why.
emolloy, thanks for the interstate tip
Report Abuse
I mentioned it's uphill all the way. That wasn't intended to gauge difficulty. Rather, while not as high as Bryce, you are still in elevation.
I hiked it twice and saw people of all sizes and shapes doing it. It's just a matter of how often and for how long you may decide to rest.
People were stopping all the way. The good part is that it's downhill coming back.
There's nothing steep. It's not canyoneering or anything like that.
I had a full hip replacement two years ago. While the Delicate Arch hike was done prior to that event, I've since been on trips of various length and hiked all day.
Last September I was in Utah with my daughter and we hiked Angel's Landing to Scouts Lookout.
As others have written, don't let something relatively small stop you from an amazing sight.

Funny that I find it easier to do Delicate Arch now in my senior years than I did when I was in my 30's. Elevation gain is 480 feet. Here is the National Park description of the hike http://www.nps.gov/arch/planyourvisit/longtrails.htm
I just turned 60 this year and haven't done the hike in a couple of years, but I'm looking forward to doing it again. It's a favorite.
Now that you're saving money by staying in motels, I'd stay in Moab over Green River. You don't want to lose the 1 1/2 hours time traveling back and forth to the Moab Area each day. Moab is more scenic and no matter where you stay in Green River you are going to hear the trains because the tracks go right though town.
Report Abuse
We are going to stay in motels/hotels all the way and we are staying in Moab. I want to stretch our dollars but our time is also very important. Differant strokes for differant folks.
Our stays are in this order: Vegas, Grand Canyon, Lake Powell(page) Arches, Canyonlands (Moab) Capital Reef (Torrey)Bryce and Zion and back to Vegas.
If anyone has motel/hotel/b&b recommendations, please let me know! Thanks!

For Grand Canyon, look at Cameron Trading Post if you are not staying in the park, for Page there are lots of chains, Moab is generally more costly

Someone gave us a fennel bulb this year, and we grew it with much success. Unfortunately, I've never been a big fennel fan, so I have no idea what to do with it. I'm willing to consider pretty much anything...Any ideas? (FYI: I did have mussels in a white wine broth with shaved fennel at a restaurant, and thought it was divine, so I CAN like it).
Also, once pulled, how long will the fennel keep, and must I use it all at once?

Parts of the line are open for freight goods and crews are working fast in both directions but higher safety standards and ongoing seismic events mean that passenger services will be delayed longer than freight. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Coastal Pacific will operate this summer season (September 2017-April 2018).
The Coastal Pacific will be back to service as early as possible for the 2018/2019 season and it is hoped the season will be extended if possible. This could mean an earlier start date than September 2018. We will continue to keep you updated as a return to service date becomes clearer. In the meantime we can book coach transportation for you between Picton and Christchurch.
See New Zealand's diverse natural beauty with the North Island's lakes, rivers, native rugged bush or the majestic volcanoes of the central plateau. In the South Island you can explore the majestic Southern Alps, the magnificent fjords of Milford and Doubtful Sounds or the native rugged alpine bush and glaciers of the west coast of the South Island.

Kuwait University rolls out Cisco's Internet applications
Kuwait University has decided to deploy an end-to-end, converged voice and data network based on technology from the international Internet networking company, Cisco Systems. The new network will form the foundations for a platform on which the University can add new applications, including IP Telephony, e-learning, IP Television (IP/TV) and videoconferencing.
The new solution will connect five campuses located throughout Kuwait City, including new buildings within the Shuwaikh campus. A variety of Cisco Catalyst switches, including the Catalyst 6500, the Catalyst 4006 and the Catalyst 3500 are to be deployed to ensure support for multicasting.
Cisco's Aironet 1200 wireless LAN solution will also be deployed within social meeting areas, such as restaurants and cafeterias, enabling students to connect to the Internet. Cisco's solution will also allow online student registration for students to sign up for courses. — (menareport.com)

Begin to plant California natives this month. Winter months are the growing season for this specific group of plants, and our rainy season vs. dry season dictate their growing patterns. Plant wildflower meadows to naturalize an open space.
This is a great month to plant that ground cover that is needed to cover a difficult landscaping area, such as a slope. Or to replace lawn areas and create a low maintenance landscape. For a sunny spot, consider iceplants, gazanias, pelargoniums, African daisy, cape weed, sedums, and Lippia. For shady areas, think Ajuga reptans, star jasmine, fruitless strawberry, bluestar creeper, thrift, thyme, moss or baby's tears.
For slopes, combine shallow-rooted groundcovers with deep-rooting groundcover shrubs. This will stabilize the slope at all soil depth levels and add a pleasant variety of depth perception to the slope. Acacia redolans prostrata, bougainvilleas, Plumbago, lantana, and Asparagus sprengerii will get you started. Don't forget to plant bulbs. They add anticipation to the garden.
Try anemones, daffodils, Dutch iris, hyacinths, and ranunculus. Plant bulbs in containers, mass in flower beds or cluster in smaller groups around the garden. Try something new this year, maybe lupine or flowering kale. Plant nasturtiums from seed, but remember that they will spread out, so plan ahead.
For the vegetable garden, sow seeds of underground crops like beets, carrots, onions, radishes and turnips. Now is the time to plant bare-root strawberries and transplants of broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.
Scout out potential weakened trees and shrub branches that may damage property because of high wind and stormy weather. Open up branching of overgrown trees to balance weight and allow wind to pass through. A tree that creates too much wind resistance can be blown over. Remove dead and damaged branches. Top-heavy shrubs can be pruned back this month to encourage vigor and new growth. Kill young weeds before they bloom and set seed. Mulch all bare ground to a depth of 1 1/2 inches to discourage weed germination and hold in moisture.
Uninvited guests
If you have stone fruit trees, remember to plan a winter spraying schedule for disease control. One big problem is control of peach leaf curl on nectarines and peaches. This disease is caused by an airborne fungus. To control the spread of this disease, clean up all fallen leaves, fruit and debris. Spray the entire tree, including trunk and surrounding ground area. Use a multipurpose fungicide containing Daconil or lime sulfur, and follow the directions carefully. Spray when all leaves have fallen, again when buds begin to swell in the spring. Watch carefully for buds, because this is hard to predict with our short winter season.
The best way to keep a garden healthy is to know how to identify problems and treat them effectively. Be sure the bug you see is the one who is causing the damage. Take a sample of the damage or the insect to a certified nursery, or the U.C. extension office. When you have identified the true culprit, be it insect or disease, treat it with the right control. If you must use chemicals, read the label and make sure it will control the pest you are treating. Use only the rate of application that the label recommends.
Water wisdom
Agricultural water usage has been cut back this year by one-third and more next year. Residential rates will be next, and rates will rise. Plan for this now. Do you really need a lawn? Do you know how to set your automatic timer and reduce watering time in the garden? Are you watering the gutter with runoff from your yard?
This month, practice and experiment with minimal water use in the yard, without damaging the landscape. Increase the intervals between watering. For example, instead of watering every other day, water every third or fourth day and see how the plants' needs are met.

When one thinks of being a member of an NGO such as the BotSoc, there are a number of stereotypes or associations that come to mind- perhaps you may think you need to be a botanist, or a certain demographic or even know loads about plants, earn a certain amount….the list could go on. The truth is anyone can become a member.
Here's the thing, the Botanical Society of South Africa has been around for over 100 years and attracted like-minded civil citizens with an interest and passion for nature. Not much has changed and in the same breath I'll say a lot has changed. BotSoc is about environmental awareness, conservation, passion sharing, and making a difference. If any of these draw your attention then why not look into having a BotSoc membership.
If you care about biodiversity or perhaps have just heard that there's something pretty cool about our country's rich natural heritage- you too can play a role in safeguarding it. Yes, membership has a cost involved, but it's very worthwhile. If you compare the cost of an annual membership and roughly divide it into what you may benefit, it's a no-brainer giveaway. Looking at the price of entertainment these days, let's say going to the movies, you could be paying anything around R60 per person for 2 hours. BotSoc membership can offer hours of entertainment, including visits to gardens, reading materials, volunteer opportunities, outings and activities, seeds to plant, friends to hang out with. I think you get where I'm going with this, it's well worth it. And in addition to all the great gains you get, Mother Nature gains too and you get that warm feel-good feeling of belonging to a network, or family if you will, working together for conservation and our natural biodiversity.
Many who will see this blog, perhaps on our other social media platforms, are already members and so I need not preach to the converted but for those of you who may be unaware let me quickly share just some of the great benefits of becoming a BotSoc member:
- Support environmental education and awareness, and you too can learn
- Contribute to biodiversity conservation– remember there are different ways of contributing: through action, donation, involvement, awareness
- Support outreach and greening initiatives
- Enjoy FREE entrance to all SANBI National Botanical Gardens (there are currently 10 dotted around the country- We'll share with you about these gardens in a future blog I'm sure)- perfect for little escapes from the hustle and bustle of life, great safe spaces for kids, peaceful spaces for all ages, great areas to host get togethers and more
- Receive the Society's quarterly Veld & Flora magazine– full of interesting content on a range of topics, and information about what the BotSoc is up to all around the country
- Dive into our online magazine, Botanical– more fun and interesting content, great competitions with awesome prizes up for grabs, tutorials on crafts and activities, downloadable images, events calendars and more
- Access to free seed (SA residents only and T&Cs apply)- get your green fingers going and get active in the garden planting gorgeous indigenous varieties
- Volunteer opportunities– great ways to get involved, learn new skills and information, meet new people, share with others. Give back to Mother Nature
- Branch events and activities– opportunities to socialise with like-minded people and make new friends
- Discounts at participating outlets
So this is reading like a well-oiled wheel, or so I hope anyway. But now that you have the ins and outs, I have been thinking that it is probably best to hear from some members themselves…. Over future blogs we hope to share member stories and experiences (hence this blog's title reading as 'Part 1'- if you'd like to share with us your membership story or a comment on being a BotSoc member please email me.
So after reading this, I do hope that I've convinced you that a BotSoc membership is a splendid idea. And what's more, you can gift a membership too. So do keep this in mind with upcoming special days, birthdays, etc. or perhaps purchase a membership as a giveaway/ prize at your next corporate event or school function perhaps. A lasting, multifaceted and meaningful gift anyone would be lucky to receive.
Here's the how: There are a number of ways you can sign up:
- Join Online
- Pop in at the BotSoc Head Office, based in Kirstenbosch NBG, Cape Town. Mon.-Thur. 08h30-16h30 Fri. 08h30-16h00. Closed daily 13h00-14h00.
- If you cannot reach anyone at Head Office, pop in at either of the BotSoc bookshops at Kirstenbosch (Gates 1 or 2)
- If in Gauteng, you can pop in at the Walter Sisulu NBG
- You can email or call the office to assist you on firstname.lastname@example.com or +27 21 797 2090
We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you into the BotSoc family.

Lenoir City Superintendent Wayne Miller outlined the district's policy at a school board meeting Thursday.
Miller said that although he and the school board members are people of faith, they are also sworn to follow the law.
"For that reason, we will provide an opportunity for people of faith to have an individual prayer during a moment of silence before each board meeting," he said. "After many hours of consultation, this seems to be our only legal recourse."
Miller said that the decision to limit prayer during school activities was made by the Supreme Court many years ago, yet for the most part the public remained silent. He urged board members to become politically active on the subject.
"If you have an opinion regarding this matter, the productive place to direct your energies is at the federal level," he said.
Board Chairwoman Rosemary Quillen said she knows how she will use her moment of silence.
"During this time, I will continue to pray for guidance, wisdom and vision for our decisions as a school board," she said.
Rebecca Market, staff attorney for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a secular organization that first challenged Lenoir City about prayer in the schools, said the "moment of silence" is acceptable to the organization.
"We're very pleased," she said.
The new policy comes only days after the district received a letter from Americans United, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that supports separation of church and state. The letter outlines what the group considers constitutional violations.
In addition to prayer during board meetings and before high school football games, the letter included new allegations of prayer before basketball games and during a graduation, and it cited posters from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
The letter specifically mentioned Lenoir City High School Principal Steve Millsaps and an alleged prayer during a 2010 graduation ceremony.
Millsaps said he had think carefully before he realized the letter was referring to a speech he made at the 2010 ceremony in which he quoted from the Bob Dylan song "Forever Young."
"Is that a prayer? I know I was thinking about one of our students who died that year and about how we were sending these kids out into the world to become adults," he said. "The words from that song expressed how I felt."
Meanwhile, the Loudon County school board continues to pray out loud before meetings. The agenda for Thursday's meeting listed prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance

Re: Promotion of Religion at Lenoir City Schools
Dear Superintendent Miller, Principal Millsaps, and Board members:
On March 12, 2012, we wrote to you about several complaints we had received from community members about the ongoing promotion of religion in the Lenoir City Schools. We requested an answer within ten days. Several weeks have passed, and we have yet to receive a response.
Although we have read press coverage of purported changes to certain school practices, we have received no confirmation of these changes from the school district.
Rather, according to news reports, the school district intends to respond by saying, "Thank you very much. We will handle this locally." Tenn. School Board Halts Prayers at Meetings, Football Games, Associated Press, Mar. 22, 2012, available at http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/tenn-school-board-halts-prayers-at-meetingsfootball-
We assure you that the protection of your local students' First Amendment right to religious freedom is very much an issue of national concern. In enforcing the
Establishment Clause against local school districts, the U.S. Supreme Court has reiterated "how firmly embedded in our constitutional jurisprudence is the proposition
that the several States have no greater power to restrain the individual freedoms protected by the First Amendment than does the Congress of the United States."
Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38, 48–49 (1985). And although we do so only as a last resort, we have not hesitated to represent local residents in federal court against local governments that have refused to comply with the Establishment Clause. See, e.g., Stewart v. Johnson County, No. 2:11-cv-12 (E.D. Tenn. 2011) (following lawsuit by Americans United, county government advised by Alliance Defense Fund agreed to provide plaintiff with extensive injunctive relief, nominal damages, and attorneys' fees).
Accordingly, we urge you to immediately remedy the following practices.
A. Complaints raised in our March 12 letter.
Our March 12, 2012 letter raised concerns about four practices, none of which the School District has adequately addressed.
Prayers at board meetings/football games.
According to one media account, the school district plans to
suspend prayers at board meetings and football games. See Hugh
G. Willett, Lenoir City School System Curtailing Prayers at
Public Meetings (Mar. 1, 2012, 4:00 a.m.), http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/mar/21/lenoir-city-schoolsystem-curtailing-prayers-at/.
If true, these are welcome developments, but we have received no
confirmation of them from the school district. Please confirm
that the school district has in fact decided to suspend prayers
at these events, and please advise when these changes will take
Prayers at graduation ceremonies.
With respect to our concerns about student prayers at graduation
ceremonies, we have seen no indication that the school district
intends to suspend this practice. Even media reports reflect only that the Superintendent has denied—contrary to the citizen complaints that we described—that
there have been student prayers at graduation ceremonies, and has not committed to stopping the practice. As we explained in our March 12 letter, the First Amendment prohibits even student-led prayers at school-sponsored graduation ceremonies. See, e.g., Santa Fe Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000); Corder v. Lewis Palmer Sch. Dist. No. 38, 566 F.3d 1219 (10th Cir. 2009); Lassonde v. Pleasanton Unified Sch. Dist., 320 F.3d 979 (9th Cir. 2003); ACLU of N.J. v. Black Horse Pike Reg'l Bd. of Educ., 84 F.3d 1471 (3d Cir. 1996) (en banc). Please confirm that you will ensure that your high school graduations—including this year's ceremony—will not feature prayers, student-led or otherwise.
Promotion of religion by physical-education teacher.
We have seen no response—in the media, or otherwise—to the
complaints that we raised about the promotion of religion by a
school physical-education teacher and coach, Ms. Herron. These
practices include reading to students from the Bible and
encouraging students to
attend meetings of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. As detailed in our March 12 letter, the Establishment Clause plainly prohibits public-school teachers from
promoting religion to students. See, e.g., Lee v. York Cnty. Sch. Div., 484 F.3d 687 (4th Cir. 2007); Doe v. Porter, 370 F.3d 558 (6th Cir. 2004); Roberts v. Madigan, 921 F.2d 1047 (10th Cir. 1990). There should be no delay in bringing these practices to an
immediate end.
Distribution of religious literature on school grounds by church members.
We have received complaints that, even after our March 12
letter, members of a local church
are distributing Christian literature to students on school grounds during the school day. As we detailed in our previous letter, the Establishment Clause plainly prohibits a public school from allowing a church to proselytize on school grounds during the school day. See, e.g., Doe v. Wilson Cnty. Sch. Sys., 564 F. Supp. 2d 766, 797 (M.D. Tenn. 2008). The school district should likewise halt this practice immediately.
B. Additional Establishment Clause complaints.
Since our previous letter, we have also received complaints about additional constitutional violations at Lenoir City Schools.
Prayer by school officials at school events.
We have received complaints that the principal, Mr. Millsaps,
delivered a prayer at the high school's 2010 graduation
ceremony, and that the high school's athletic director has
recited the Lord's Prayer to students over the loudspeaker
during basketball games. As the U.S. Supreme Court has explained
repeatedly, the delivery of prayers at school events is
unconstitutional— especially when requested or delivered by
school officials. See, e.g., Santa Fe, 530 U.S. at 302
(Establishment Clause prohibits "invocations [that] are
authorized by government policy and take place on government
property at government-sponsored school-related events"); Lee v.
Weisman, 505 U.S. 577, 587 (1992) (Establishment Clause
violation when "[a] school official, the principal, decided that
an invocation and a benediction should be given" at high-school
graduation); Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1962) ("by using its
public school system to encourage recitation of the Regents'
prayer, the [government] has adopted a practice wholly
inconsistent with the Establishment Clause"). The prayers by the
principal and athletic director fall squarely within that
Fellowship of Christian Athletes posters.
We also understand that since the concerns about religion at the
school have become public, the posters advertising meetings of
the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA)—which are posted in
the highschool's hallway—have become even more overtly
religious, and now feature prominent images of crosses. FCA
members do not have free reign to proselytize on school walls
during the school day. See, e.g., Bannon v. Sch. Dist., 387 F.3d
1208, 1217 (11th Cir. 2004) (per curiam) (upholding removal of
proselytizing FCA mural from high-school hallway). Especially
light of at least one teacher's improper promotion of FCA
meetings, the school district must make every effort to avoid
endorsement of FCA's mission and message.
We will continue to investigate complaints about Lenoir City Schools and monitor the school district's responses closely. Please respond to the concerns raised by
this letter—as well as those identified in our March 12 letter—by the close-of-business on Monday, April 16, 2012. If you have any questions or would like to discuss these issues further, please contact Natalie Shapero at (202) 466-3234 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Hot For GOLD or higher VIP users Download TSiLang 6.5.4 ported for XE6 TsiLang® Components Suite includes a number of highly professional, easy-to-use VCL components, wizards and tools for building multi-language applications under Delphi and C++Builder. On the one hand, our product dramatically simplifies the entire process of globalization, and on the other hand it allows you to provide your customers with quality, user-friendly applications that can switch from one locale to another on-the-fly. We would like to describe some of the features of TsiLang Components Suite that make the product unique: Our suite enables you to localize everything that should be localized: string-type properties of components, "hard-coded" string constants, resource strings, system locale and standard dialog strings, as well as other properties that may affect the appearance of controls (for example, the size and position of labels may be changed for each language if required). You can choose where to store the translation data: either internally (this is ideal for lightweight applications – a single EXE file, no DLLs, databases, etc) or externally in special files (this approach allows you to change translations without recompiling the project, so even your end-user may update the translations at run-time). Such essential tools as TsiLang Expert and Resource Strings Wizard, which are included in the suite, help you to manage the translation process of you projects in a simple and convenient fashion. So, a large project might be prepared for globalization literally in a few minutes. The TsiLang Expert adds TsiLang components to the project's forms and data modules, adjusts their properties, and scans the project files for "hard-coded" strings. TheResource Strings Wizard allows you to extract and add to translation data the resource strings of your project even if they are hidden somewhere in a .dcu (.obj) file without the source code. A specialized tool shipped with the suite, the SIL Editor, can be freely redistributed and allows you to separate the translation process from the project development. The Dictionary Manager helps to store translations in dictionaries, and use them repeatedly in subsequent projects.

Anivia Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi peeps! Anivia is my main champion who I love playing as quite often, and I wanted to share with you guys how I play her. The way I play her is pretty much similar to the way you'd play any other caster champions, but it also seems that no one else here plays her like I do. I hope this guide will help you understand this champion better, and I hope that this guide can somehow help increase the number of Anivia players (I've been seeing a lot more lately, but not as many as I'd like to!). I won't go into the details of what her pros & cons are, assuming that you already know about her skills (her egg, wall, stun, and slow...).
Typical Match as Anivia in Ranked
Typical Match as Anivia Normal
How to Carry as Anivia
Summoner Spells
Clarity and Flash
Let me rant on this for a bit:
People tend to think that Clarity is for noobs who don't know how to control their mana. I can agree with that statement for the champions like Annie, Kassadin, Malzahar, etc... Hell, I don't even use Clarity on my Taric. But Anivia is different. She has an incredible nuking ability that for her to stay back and save mana just doesn't seem right. She has the ability to kill anyone in a couple of seconds early game, so why not use that as an advantage?
Besides, last time I checked, people weren't landing their Flash Frost every single time. The truth is, unless you're very slow/dumb/close to her, it is very easy to dodge Flash Frost. Even amazing anivia players will not land it perfectly all the time.
Exhaust No. She can stun and slow every few seconds.
Ghost Good spell, if used right.
Heal Nope.
Revive Noooo.
Smite Only take if you want someone to dodge the queue.
Teleport I wouldn't. I know she's slow, but it's really not necessary.
Cleanse Flash + Good Timing will do the job.
Fortify Not yours to take.
Ignite You already do a ton of dmg. This would be too much.
Rally Take this and smite for the queue dodge.
Clairvoyance She's a nuker, not a support.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
Mage runes. Self-explanatory.
If you think Clarity and Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration is too much, then go for Greater Seal of Ability Power. However, you'll already do enough damage with the recommended rune set. It really depends on your flavor. If you want some early game survivability, go for the armor seals.
Skill Sequence
Put 1 point in Flash Frost, then max out Frostbite. I usually don't put a point in Crystallize until later, but you can put a point in it at level 4 if it makes you feel safer.
* Anivia's spells are combo based, and her "E" spell will do lots of dmg only if the opponent is hit with either "Q" or "R".
Your combo can differ depending on the situation:
If you've somehow managed to hit the enemy with your "Q", then go "R" - "E" combo. But you'd usually start with "R" - "E" then "Q". If you practice enough, you'll be able to use "E" before "R" since it takes some time for "E" to hit the target. This technique is useful if you have low mana, since starting with "R" will burn up lots of mana before you can even use "E".
You can also go "Q" - "E" then "R" and use the wall to keep the opponent stay in the circle, or you can even go "R" - "Q" then "E" if you want to stun the opponent in the circle.
Start with an Amplifying Tomb and a Health Potion. You have mpregen runes and Clarity, so you won't need a mana crystal. Starting with Amplifying Tomb will get you about 37 AP at level 1. You are dangerous...!!
It's easy for me to get many kills when I play Anivia, so I always get Mejai's Soulstealer. Even if you aren't getting kills, playing smart, staying alive and engaging in team fights will get you enough stacks. Mejai's on Anivia is recommended.
REMEMBER TO GET Blasting Wand before getting Mejai's Soulstealer as 40 extra AP early game will get you even more kills. Get mejai next, then complete your shoes.
The item set above is recommended, but you can replace the Void Staff with Abyssal Mask if the opponents are AP heavy.
There is a late-game build for stacking AP with 4 Archangel's Staff and 1 Rabadon's Deathcap, or 5 Archangel's Staff with no shoes, and you'll end up with 1449 AP with an elixir (I heard you can boost it up to 1600 with mana runes), but stacking AP for any champion isn't recommended. It is a fun build, though.
Anivia's capable of laning anywhere, but I recommend going mid. Go solo top if you know what you're doing. If you're new with anivia, mid is recommended. She's not the greatest farmer until later in the game, so she needs many kills to compensate for the lack of her CS.
If you're a first-time Anivia, laning against Katarina might be a little hard. Try to put your "R" either on you or near you when she Shunpo you.
If Poppy comes at you targeting someone else with her shield on, you're fked. Use your defensive skills and try to help your team burn the opponent's carries down asap.
If you're laning against another Anivia, the best thing you can do is to dodge her "Q". Anivia vs Anivia is entirely about who dodges their "Q" first. You can see whether or not she has her egg by clicking on her. Do not go reckless on her by turret-diving when she has her egg.
Things You Might Want to Know before Playing...
You may/may not know this already, but here are a few tips:
1. Anivia's "Q" can be detonated. Just simply press "Q" again. If her "Q" touches an opponent, it will slow the opponent. If it's detonated right above/slightly behind the enemy, it will stun the enemy target. To get the maximum damage out of your "Q", you want to make it detonate just a little behind the target.
2. Her "W" is used to corner your opponents, or save your allies, but it can also be used as a temporary sight ward. Place it in the bush to reveal the opponents.
Build 2
A friend of mine showed me this build, and it works. You end up with around 540 AP, and you'll regain all of your health just with your "R" - "E" combo. This build gets difficult if the opponents are dumping their CC's on you or exec's calling, but otherwise, it is a viable build.
THIS BUILD WILL NO LONGER WORK AFTER THE 188.8.131.52b PATCH

As far as I'm aware, it's not allowed to let a dog off the lead in Finland, unless it's your own property(?). (Just ask Phil, he's always argueing with local residents)
Although if you are in the middle of nothing, you will rarely encounter problems.
Mari had a Finnish Hunting dog (you know the ginger ones with a curly tail) that lived outside 365 days a year. Quite as happy in -30 (centigrade)as it was in +30 (or, at least as happy as the rest of us) It was about 18 when it died last year. Out here in the sticks, in fact, almost everyone I know has dogs that live outside. Mostly hunting dogs.
Cats live inside, dogs are just workers
Peter's right, the vet is also pretty expensive, and if your pooches are used to Florida, then they might have a bit of a shock in the Finnish winter.
We're really not trying to be negative here, it's just better if you know the reality now No point looking through those rose coloured glasses and then finding yourself in the sh!t when you get here!

BULKED-UP St George Illawarra fullback Josh Dugan wants to carry more weight into next NRL season, and he's throwing all of it behind under-pressure coach Steve Price.
Dugan said Price had the full support of a revamped Dragons squad, arguing the coach wouldn't still be in charge if the players weren't on board.
Price survived a coaching review at the end of the season after the proud Dragons club missed out on the finals, but he'll want a fast start to 2014.
Emerging from Wayne Bennett's shadow has proven difficult for Price, but he now believes he has the team he wants, with a number of quality recruits joining the side for next year.
St George Illawarra also welcome back Gerard Beale and Kyle Stanley from long-term injuries and have Dugan tipping the scales at 101.5kg, nearly five kilograms more than he weighed last season. The NSW No.1 is a collision player and believes the heavier frame can help him avoid injury and gain a physical edge over his opposition.
Dugan says to a man, the Dragons are looking to get off to a fast start and keep the heat off their coach.
"Definitely. I don't really think he'd be there if he didn't have the support of the players," Dugan said.
"He's got every player behind him backing him 100 per cent and he's changed a few things up this year and I think it'll be for the better." Beale, who is aiming for a centre berth in his comeback from an ACL tear in 2013, said the players wanted to show Price he was loved.
"We really love him and we're keen to go hard for him and especially for the Dragons as well," Beale said.
"It's a really proud club and we want to make sure we have a really good result." Beale, Stanley and Dugan all attended Arncliffe Public School on Wednesday to promote the Jump Rope for Heart program.
Dugan predicted a jump for the Dragons - a return to the top eight - and promised a more consistent year from himself after last season where he was sacked by Canberra.
"I missed 10-11 weeks last year and it was a bit disruptive and took me a few weeks to get my match fitness back," he said.

Of course he has his daddy, his grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and oodles and oodles of other fabulous people to love him. But, God chose me to be his MOTHER. ME! What an incredibly awesome gift. He gave me a sweet innocent bundle of happiness molded in his own likeness to nurture and love. And I get a chance to give him all of the things he deserves in this world.
I get to be the one to pick him up and make him feel better when he bumps his head. I get to giggle with him when he thinks someone/thing is oh so funny. I get to watch him try and try until he finally figures it out and flashes the biggest "I am so proud smile". I am gifted the hours to bathe him, feed him, and sing to him. I am able to tuck him in at night and snuggle him first thing in the morning (okay, well Daddy usually steals most of those snuggles, but I get to watch). I am his mother. How lucky am I?!?!
The days are long. The sticky food he manages to place in my "newly washed and just fixed' hair is annoying. My interrupted sleep patterns and occasional 5am wake up calls are frustrating. The tiny human that cries for attention or needs food 30 seconds before it is humanly possible to get it to him is trying on one's emotions. The constant being needed is sometimes too much. But Heavens to Betsy is it worth it!
I'm coming up on my first Mother's Day this weekend. My little man has just started walking. He's going to be an entire year old in less than two months and holy bajeeze is it making me emotional! I'm overjoyed with happiness. My heart is so full of love for this little guy I can physically FEEL the emotion. Not to mention, the joy and happiness it has brought to my marriage and the constant reminder that I am so beyond blessed with a great family and loving husband. It's all just too much.
So, for anyone out there who is reading this ... I want to share my love with you. And want you to hug everyone you know and especially your babies a little tighter this week. These days are long, but the years are short (I'm learning that a little too fast these days). No matter what stage of life you're going through... traveling the world with your buddies while studying abroad (my baby bro), right out of college or still going through it, mid-twenty something career gal moving up the corporate ladder (several of my gal pals), SAHM who barely has time to shower (ahem ... hello MaK and Katie Bugg), grandmama's who love everything about their stage of life (aside from their knees), etc...savor it! We will never get it back and one day we'll wish we could snap our fingers and go back to that place. But we're here, now. So I'm gonna snuggle my little man and my hubs a little tighter this weekend and thank my lucky stars for all I have. And hug your momma's a little tighter too, I promise they love you to the moon and back.
Happy Mother's Day Weekend my friends!

Review comments from readers
"I've been reading Dave Hughes's columns at RetireFabulously.com for the last year or so and I tell everyone these are the best columns on the realities of retiring you're likely to find. Having them distilled into a book, with bonus information and his first-hand experiences, first with anticipating his "renaissance" (a word I love and much prefer) and then living it, provides an invaluable resource for those who've reached that milestone and those of us starting to plan for it. I'll be telling everyone to read this, including my spouse!"
"This is a excellent book. While not lengthy- and that in itself is a recommendation, as the book is written in a clear, succinct style- it is full of thought provoking questions and scenarios about the concept of retirement, or renaissance. The author challenges you to consider and envision what your retirement will look like. His position ... is that we will have the kind of retirement we think we will have, good or bad. ... The author guides through the thought process of envisioning what kind of retirement we want, in a well laid out map, with personal observations, things to consider, and challenging questions - many of which I had never considered myself. But I'm thinking of them now, and that is how all plans begin. Recommend this book for anyone who wants to retire."
"The book is very well-written and takes into account the social and emotional aspects of planning a successful retirement. Many publications address the financial end of the process, but few deal with *everything else* that one should consider before leaving (or gradually transitioning) out of the workplace. And don't think that because you're 30 or 40 that this book isn't for you. It's very much for you! Planning for retirement shouldn't start 3-5 years before it happens. You'll not only enjoy this book but truly benefit from it."
"I've been following Mr. Hughes's retirement advice for awhile and find it to be fresh, informative and unique. Having it in a book makes it convenient and essential reading. I highly recommend this for anyone considering retirement or lucky enough to already be there!"
"Having recently entered the "renaissance" period of my life, Dave's book is particularly relevant to my situation. It is very thought-provoking on how to make the most of this great opportunity of being free from the confines of a job. It is an enjoyable book and prompted many discussions with my wife on what we do from here."

Irish Catholics began settling in Honesdale in 1826 and by 1830 missionary priests from New York began holding services with a parish being established in June of 1842, by Rev. Henry Fitzsimmons. It was during his pastorate that the first church was erected. This wooden structure was located at the corner of Carroll and Vine Streets directly behind the present building. In 1859, the Rev. J.J. Doherty was appointed parish priest and remained for 37 years; he was greatly respected and honored by the Honesdale community. In 1876, Father Doherty began the construction of the present bluestone church out of his own finances. The bell tower was erected in 1953.

If you have ever tried to whiten your teeth, you have either done it using over the counter products or through professional kits from a dentist. Since professional kits can be expensive and quite elaborate, a cheaper over the counter teeth whitening product may be your best gamble. That said, here is a list of the top 5 consumer teeth whitening products that are available over the counter.
1. Crest 3D White Professional Whitestrips ($36)
Crest 3D used Advanced Seal Technology that enables to whiten like magic. The complete kit comes packed with 20 sets of leave–on strips (one for your tops and one for your bottom teeth). All it takes is about a half-hour for whitened teeth that last up to one year. But, we have to admit that some people may need a toothbrush because it sometimes tends to stick on the teeth.
2. AuraGlow Teeth Whitening Kit ($53)
AuraGlow is another teeth whitening product that goes for a fraction of the total amount of money that some people pay for similar products. AuraGlow comes equipped with an accelerator light that helps to accelerate the whitening process, a mouth tray, and two gel syringes. The kit needs to be used for 30 consecutive days for harsh stains from coffee, smoking, soda or tea to be eliminated. As such, you might want to avoid this teeth whitener if you are planning to attend an event very soon.
3. Rembrandt Whitening Strips ($35)
Rembrandt is a common name in teeth whitening products. Like Crest, they also do put make whitening strips that even fit way better, according to some online surveys. They use a technology called FORMFIT, whereby the strips are designed to make a perfect curve that can fir well for most people. The only downside that this product has is it takes up to seven or eight treatments before you significant teeth whitening can be seen.
4. iWhite Maintenance Stick ($25)
This is an affordable whitener that can go a long way in keeping your teeth continually white. Consumers have reported good results whenever they needed brighten teeth immediately. The brush stick is has two sides, with one side a wax to do the whitening and the other a brush head to clean your teeth.
5. Curaprox Black White Toothpaste ($30)
For a dedicated user of Curaprox Black is White, this over the counter teeth whitener can vouch for its excellent results. Although you will be waiting two or three weeks for visible changes, the overall difference is significant. Curaprox is made using activated carbon sans bleaching or abrading. Not only can it boost your dental health, but is also an incredible, unique alternative to normal toothpaste that will whiten your teeth.
If you have tried these or other over the counter products and they don't seem to be giving you the results you like, or you want to get an immediate result today then you may consider getting a professional in-office tooth whitening. Of course there are many dentist clinics that provide such services but the quicker way to find them, saving your precious time, is to find a local cosmetic dentist directory. Here are a couple of sites that provide local dentists info and reviews: SD Cosmetic Dentists,
You might not realize it, but you may have been brushing your teeth and handling dental care the wrong way. For one, it is important to take your time when washing your mouth. Simply interchange tastes and wash the water around for a short minute before gulping. This will keep any harming acids and sugars from staying around in your mouth. When you brush your teeth, in any case, you would prefer not to wash out your mouth a short time later. Since your toothpaste contains fluoride, and that keeps your teeth solid, washing it off won't give you that additional security.
In the event that you plan to eat and despise the taste it leaves in your mouth, you can simply discover a type of toothpaste you can stand the taste of to get around the issue.Most everybody brushes their teeth, yet a large number of us disregard flossing. Sadly, it's essential and you ought to never skip it. Be that as it may, regardless of the possibility that you figure out how to floss, there is always a room for improvement, and just like the way you brush your teeth, you may not have been flossing the right way.
You can acquire control and make a superior showing with regards to flossing by tying floss in a circle. Actually, your dental hygienist most likely does this and you'll perceive the frame. Notwithstanding structure, you simply need to know how to really floss legitimately. It's not hard but justified of a refresher in the event that it isn't your strong point. All in all, brushing and flossing are the two simplest dental care methods. You should do these all the time, yet in case that is not enough, go to a dentist to get a dental checkup also.
There are some tips and tricks about dental care that should provide you with better overall oral health. You might wonder about which brand of toothbrush and toothpaste you should buy. A standard toothbrush will take care of business. While picking a toothpaste, straightforward brands work best. A significant number of the unpredictable toothpaste cost a lot and really can bring about issues for a few people. This is particularly valid with delicate teeth. While flossing, you can utilize picks and different things as they'll make a superior showing, yet customary floss works the best and costs the slightest. That is truly all you have to know.
The shoddy devices by and large have a tendency to be the best ones with regards to dental care. You simply need to utilize them accurately and ensure you supplant them frequently. On the other hand, you need to realize the fact that no toothbrush will help you on the off chance that you don't know how to utilize it well, and brushing your teeth helps more than simply your mouth. It influences your whole body. Hence, you certainly need to ensure you're doing it effectively. For one thing, timing really has a lot of effects. You would prefer not to brush your teeth promptly after you eat.
Dental specialists propose holding up thirty minutes rather in light of the fact that on the off chance that you ate or drank anything acidic, you risk harming the veneer ensuring your teeth. This is particularly valid for breakfast. In the event that you can hardly wait an entire thirty minutes, be that as it may, you can keep the corrosive from staying around by drinking water in the meantime. Dental care is not complicated, and you should be able to make it a part of your routine.
