What our guests say
We've stayed here many times over the years, with our son as a toddler to teenager and now us as just a couple, always in a motorhome. Great base for so much in the area, and fantastic walks along the site's own beach and further into woodlands. Fort William close by for all amenities, even dedicated motorhome parking at Morrisons, ( which was even open until 8 pm on Sunday!) Reception has great walks printed out which you can buy for a donation to mountain rescue. Facilities are spotless, showers have their own vanity unit and are spacious. Hot and plenty of pressure. Even a bath room! Laundry, shop and playroom/ park. Thoroughly recommend.
Great base, great site
Currently camping on 'The Narrows' and on our third visit to Linnhe. Beautiful pitches right in the loch side. So peaceful whilst having everything you need, shop, warm showers, washing up facilities. Reception staff very welcoming. Perfect base for our mountain biking break, only 10 mins drive to the Nevis range and within an hours drive from Laggen Wolftrax. Thank you Linnhe, will definitely be back ….again

Today in Frivolous Lawsuit Theater: Convicted Portland pimp Sirgiorgio Sanford Clardy is serving a 100-year prison sentence for, in part, stomping a john with his Air Jordans. Now Clardy's suing Nike for not labeling their sneakers as weapons.
Clardy sounds like a peach. He was convicted for beating a woman and forcing her into prostitution, as well as assaulting a client who tried to leave without paying. He had to be restrained at his trial—occasionally with a hood over his head—after repeatedly disrupting proceedings. One of Clardy's crimes was second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, for stomping the man so badly he needed plastic surgery.
The use of a weapon means a longer prison sentence. So, the lawsuit.
"Under product liability there is a certain standard of care that is required to be up-held by potentially dangerous product ..." wrote Clardy, who is representing himself. "Do (sic) to the fact that these defendants named in this Tort claim failed to warn of risk or to provide an adequate warning or instruction it has caused personal injury in the likes of mental suffering."
He asks a Multnomah County judge to order Nike to affix warning labels to all their "potentially dangerous Nike and Jordan merchandise."
The suit will undoubtedly be tossed and Clardy will spend decades in jail, proving that the justice system works on occasion.

Q: I'm the luckiest man on earth — I'm marrying my college sweetheart and the big day is exactly three months away. But there's one thing I'm sweating: Because Jamie, the bride to be, is running around like a lunatic, sampling chocolate ganache cakes and then sucking it in for dress fittings, her metabolism has gone haywire and she's managed to stay slim without even hitting the gym. Me, I have plenty of nervous energy but my body doesn't work like that … and I'd love to shed 10 pounds and tone up big time before strolling down the aisle.
In terms of exercise, I'm strictly a morning jog kind of guy, but things have gotten so hectic I'm hard pressed to find time to even brush my teeth. I'm thinking that forcing myself into a gym after work for a couple hours every other day may be the way to go but I've always been allergic to them. There are plenty of reasons why I don't do gyms but the main one is simple: I try to keep things as green as possible and gyms just seem to be such inherent energy and water hogs. Do you know anything about green gyms or how to lower my carbon footprint while dropping down a waist size or two?
Panicked and pudgy,
Lou (aka the green reluctant gym bunny), Venice, Calif.
A: Hey Lou,
Hate to say it but the term "green gym" is a bit of an oxymoron. This wedding-themed analogy might be a bit of a stretch, but gyms are like the Las Vegases of physical fitness … people use both to feel better about themselves but they just keep on consuming and consuming and consuming. Think about it: air conditioning on high, bright lights, pumping music, constantly running machines, plenty of questionable, skin-tight fashions, and a hot shower at the end of it all to rinse off the grime.
That said, there are actually quite a few gyms out there making sweaty sustainable strides — most notably Equinox who recently opened a dedicated eco-club in NYC — but my advice is, if possible, to stick to the great outdoors and use Mamma Nature as your personal trainer.
Since I've yet to encounter a gym that uses the people-power generated from all those ellipticals and treadmills to power itself aside from Seattle's Green Microgym, I'd say the easiest way to burn a few gym-less calories is to ditch your car, apply an extra layer of natural deodorant, and bike or walk to work if you don't already. It's a win-win situation: you get in shape and do your part to curb C02 emissions. Plus, during all that solitary, self-propelled time-in-transit you can think deep thoughts about your big day (and how much you resent Jamie for being able to sample wedding cakes without gaining an ounce).
If all that walking and riding isn't feasible, perhaps you can hire a personal trainer to come to you, the easiest machine-free way to slim down in the comfort of your own home. Since you live in Los Angeles, I don't think finding a yogi who does house calls should be a problem at all.
OK, Lou, are you still stuck on the idea of joining a house o' fitness? Since you've already got commitment on the brain, be sure to ask prospective gyms about what they are doing to lower their eco-impact, if anything, before you sign on. Are the showerheads in the locker room low-flow? How is the facility heated/cooled? Are there exercise options that don't involve running or cycling in place on an electricity-guzzling machine?
Best of luck on your prenuptial fitness regimen and don't sweat it if you aren't a green adonis by the time you reach the big day. If I can offer one last piece of parting advice before you begin both your eco-fitness routine -- be it in the great outdoors, at home, or at a gym -- and your life with Jamie, it is this: Be sure to bring your own bottle.

U2 at the ColiseumI remember having fun at this concert because of the people I was with and of course, U2 was playing! Unfortunately, the parking and traffic really sucked, so we declared we would never see an event at the LA Coliseum again (and that still holds true today). We sat on the left side bleachers about halfway up. For whatever reason, we couldn't hear Bono very well, but the music was great. The Edge stumbled a bit on the stage steps during one song. Davy Jones from the Monkees helped Edge sing "Daydream Believer" which was awesome!! I remember Bono's American flag umbrella during "Bullet The Blue Sky" and of course the lemon!! At the end of the show, I remember the lights still being off, but from where we were sitting, we could see just the four of them exit and go behind the stage where they alone walked up the steps of the coliseum behind the stage to a waiting car just outside. I just remember seeing their four silhouettes, knowing for sure that was them, and wondering when we'll see them next. Who knew the Elevation tour was gonna be their rousing comeback!!
12 April, 2010
my love for the disco lemonmy first U2 concert it was electric, started off with beer in the park after work and progressed to the whole Coliseum light up by a disco lemon . At the time I thought that no concert would be as cool as that one. nothing could beat the disco lemon until I meet the heart .Inside the heart and seeing an acoustic verson on in gods country well do I need to say more. 20 concerts later and these two are my favorites, until my next show.
28 October, 2009
I was thereIt was a last minute decision to head downtown and see Pop Mart. I thought the opening act was crap...Rage against the Machine and their big hit..."Fuck you, I'll do what I want to" I lost my buddy quickly as I headed toward the floor. Bono came in through the players tunnel on the floor of the Coliseum in a boxers robe with an entourage. Who knew he was going to go through the entire crowd to get to the stage. The rest of the night is a blur. But I do remember the big olive and the mirrors inside the lemon. It was a big show, a big stage, and if I want to know what it was like, I watch the DVD from South America I got on Ebay.

To celebrate its centennial, Johnson & Wales University hosted a modernist dinner that paired classical French cuisine with avant-garde cooking techniques in a playful yet elegant presentation.
The school has been working with Chris Young, co-author of "Modernist Cuisine," to incorporate the science-based cooking techniques into the classroom. To show off what the chefs and students have learned under instructor Rob Corey's guidance, the university hosted a small dinner April 25.
"I wanted you to play with your food," says the chef. "It breaks down the stuffiness of French cuisine. For a small moment in time we were not an educational institution, we were a hot little place."

With an eye towards updating the World Wide Web to better accommodate complex and bandwidth-hungry applications, the Internet Engineering Task Force has started work on the next generation of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), the underlying protocol for the Web.
"It's official: We're working on HTTP/2.0," wrote IETF Hypertext Transfer Protocol working group chair Mark Nottingham, in a Twitter message late Tuesday.
The group will use the IETF standard SPDY protocol as the basis for the updated protocol. Engineers at Google developed SPDY as a way to hasten the delivery of Web content over the Internet.
Nottingham officially announced the work following the recharter of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol working group by the IESG (Internet Engineering Steering Group).
Version 2.0 of HTTP will address the changing nature of how people use the Web. While the first generation of Web sites were largely simple and relatively small, static documents, the Web today is used as a platform for delivering applications and bandwidth-intensive real-time multimedia content.
The protocol will reduce latency, and streamline the process of how servers transmit content to browsers. It must be backward compatible with HTTP 1.1, as well as remain open to be extended for future uses as well.
HTTP 2.0 will continue to rely primarily on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), though other transport mechanisms may be substituted.
Julian Reschkeof, Alexey Melnikov and Martin Thomson will serve as editors for the proposed draft, to be called draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-00. The group is scheduled to submit a proposed standard to the IESG by 2014.
The working group will also continue to refine the current version of the protocol, HTTP 1.1, which underlies the entire World Wide Web. According to estimates, there are currently about 8.45 billion Web pages.

The ProSmoke Electronic Cigarette Deluxe Starter Kit includes the hardware from the Standard Starter Kit, a Portable Charging Case, and FOUR total packs of refill cartridges! Save money and start your electronic cigarette experience with the purchase of the ProSmoke E-Cigarette Deluxe Starter Kit!
ProSmoke is the #1 rated electronic cigarette on the market! This is because of its long life "smart" battery, cartridge size, and massive amounts of vapor. Our electronic cigarette is about the length of a traditional cigarette; giving you all the familiar comfort in size of a regular smoke with tons of vapor and an extra-long life battery. The ProSmoke electronic cigarette has no on or off switch and is always ready to go; it doesn't turn on until you inhale on the unit.
Read on to see what makes us #1.
Low Resistance Atomizer:
The ProSmoke Electronic Cigarette has a quality, solid built atomizer with porcelain reinforcement. This means it will last MUCH longer than other electronic cigarette brands.
The atomizer is a low resistant atomizer, which means it will actually add warmth to the vapor and provide you with a more lifelike smoking experience. It will feel like a real cigarette!
Superb Quality:
The ProSmoke e-cigarette quality is beyond par. Everything about it down to the last detail is excellent. It works amazing, it's lightweight but it's solid. It is engineered to perfection and everything fits together perfectly like a puzzle.
Exclusive Portable Charging Case
This is a must have accessory for people on the go! Charge your batteries without having to worry about cables or being by a computer or power outet.
The ProSmoke portable charging case is smaller than the competition, holds more and lasts longer! It can hold 4 cartridges or atomizers and 1 battery and 1 completely assembled ProSmoke e-cigarette; Giving you all the stuff you need to keep your ProSmoke electronic cigarette charged for long trips and adventures! The carrying case has its own internal battery that can charge your ProSmoke cigarette on the go with NO WIRES! You can get 10-15 battery charges before having to recharge the case with its built in USB connector. If you "smoke" a lot or like to have a charger on the go, this accessory is for you.
Please note that we currently are currently shipping our portable carrying case, along with a free car USB charger in place of the case seen below. This is due to two of our previous battery cell suppliers closing its doors after a significant loss of business due to tariffs. We are currently locating a new provider and expect production on the new cases to start later in the year. The slim-line case provides all the same great features to carry your main e-cig components while on the go but will not have charging functionality. So you get a portable carrying case, and a free car usb charger for no additional cost!
Long Lasting Cartridges with Vegetable based liquids, not the formula our competition uses:
The ProSmoke e-cigarette cartridges last longer than any other e-cigarette in our class. We have almost doubled the capacity of a standard cartridge while keeping it the same size. If you are sick and tired of small cartridges, give ProSmoke a try, you won't regret it!
Hundreds of hours of research has gone into getting our solution perfect for our customers to ensure the best taste, safety, and consistency. Unlike most of our competitors, who use PG for the base of their solution, ProSmoke has opted to use VG; which we feel this ensures our customers are getting the absolute best e-cigarette solution on the market.
One of the best warranties on the market:
ProSmoke has a 12 month manufacturer's warranty! That's 365 days of warranty on the ProSmoke Electronic Cigarette; that's four times the typical smokeless cigarette.
ProSmoke is Rated the Number One
E-cigarettes are electronic devices that vaporize nicotine, water, and flavor to simulate the feel and look of cigarettes. Unlike nicotine gum or the nicotine patch, the e-cigarette actually functions much like a regular cigarette. However rather than burning and smoking, it vaporizes a solution that contains nicotine.
The nicotine is still delivered to the lungs, but in vapor form, rather than smoke which contains carcinogens and tar. ProSmoke E-cigarettes do not burn like a typical cigarette, yet feel the same and contain nicotine (optional).
Complete ProSmoke Electronic Cigarette, Components, and Accessories
|Long-life lithium "smart" batteries
|Portable Charging Case - Instructions for Personal charging case can be found here.

|Quick Start Instruction Card. Full users manual and instructions found here.

With elevated temperatures, travel, and even dropping it, you can rest assured, you have a coating that will endure as long as you want it!
All kits have a blue LED giving you a sleek look while remaining comfortable and as familiar as a regular cigarette.

Dr. Raymond Damadian, a physician and scientist, toiled for years trying to produce a machine that could noninvasively scan the body with the use of magnets. Along with some graduate students, he constructed a superconducting magnet and fashioned a coil of antenna wires. Since no one wanted to be the first one in this contraption, Damadian volunteered to be the first patient.
When he climbed in, however, nothing happened. Damadian was looking at years wasted on a failed invention, but one of his colleagues bravely suggested that he might be too big for the machine. A svelte graduate student volunteered to give it a try, and on July 3, 1977, the first MRI exam was performed on a human being. It took almost five hours to produce one image, and that original machine, named the "Indomitable," is now owned by the Smithsonian Institution.
In just a few decades, the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners has grown tremendously. Doctors may order MRI scans to help diagnose multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, torn ligaments, tendonitis, cancer and strokes, to name just a few. An MRI scan is the best way to see inside the human body without cutting it open.

That may be little comfort to you when you're getting ready for an MRI exam. You're stripped of your jewelry and credit cards and asked detailed questions about all the metallic instruments you might have inside of you. You're put on a tiny slab and pushed into a hole that hardly seems large enough for a person. You're subjected to loud noises, and you have to lie perfectly still, or they're going to do this to you all over again. And with each minute, you can't help but wonder what's happening to your body while it's in this machine. Could it really be that this ordeal is truly better than another imaging technique, such as an X-ray or a CAT scan? What has Raymond Damadian wrought?
Let the magnets of this mighty machine draw you to the next page, and we'll take a look at what's going on inside.

Soccer practice. Dance lessons. Second jobs. And hours of homework each night.
They're all important for kids as they learn the importance of team work, a strong work ethic and personal achievement. But it's also important to have time to just sit back and relax, said local child experts.
"I think we all need to rejuvenate from stress," said David Palmiter Jr., professor of psychology and counseling at Marywood University. "We all need to be psychologically fed. When we're not fed, we start to break."
Palmiter said children have three core needs: physical activity, sleep and a healthy diet. After that, academic and social skills are of the next highest importance. Palmiter said activities should be a way of helping children reach those goals and needs. But when students' extracurricular activities cut into their sleep and social time or simply create too much pressure, those activities may be doing more harm than good.
Kingston psychologist Robert Kammen said a child's schedule should have a healthy balance.
"(Children and teens) absolutely should participate in some structured activities," Kammen said. "(But when they overly) focus on high achievements, preparing to get into a good college or getting a scholarship, there's a lot of pressures in all those and not time to interact with each other without those pressures."
That isn't to say there's a "magic number" of activities in which children should be required to participate. Palmiter said that number varies with each child and his or her individual personality.
"If I have a kid who has every minute scheduled, but they're enjoying it (and) they're social skills are good ... I'd say let's not mess with that if everything's OK," Palmiter said. "I only start questioning methods when they're not working."
Kammen said even gifted adolescents - math whizzes, star quarterbacks, prodigy pianists - need to participate in other activities and simply take time off every once in a while.
"What happens if their identity is 100 percent invested in one activity?" Kammen said. "The idea is that you want to prepare people for adulthood, and it shouldn't revolve around a sport or a career. You've got to balance family and a lot of other things in there."
Palmiter also said parents should be mindful of how much time their children spend on homework. While he stressed academic achievement, he said some schools assign so much work that it interferes with other aspects of the student's life.
Joe Polizzi, an associate professor of education at Marywood University, said homework time generally should not exceed this formula: Ten minutes multiplied by the student's grade level.
"It also depends on the goals and outcomes for each kid," Polizzi said. "Some kids have more resources to complete homework."
Palmiter said the type of "free time" a child needs will vary. Some actually relax when participating in a structured activity.
"Some kids experience that rejuvenation playing basketball after school, where with some kids, that (activity) may be under the 'stress column' and they need time to do something else to relax."
Jim Jacobs, who works with middle and high school students for the Children's Service Center of Wilkes-Barre, said parents should encourage physical activity, but limited amounts of video games and internet surfing are perfectly healthy.
But no matter what children enjoy, Palmiter said they need regular amounts of quality time with their parents.
"I call it 'special time,'" Palmiter said. "It goes to the strength of that relationship. You want at least a hour a week of one-on-one time."

A blueprint for high-volume, high-quality lung cancer screening that is detecting cancer earlier—and helping to save lives
The duty of informed consent necessitates that physicians discuss with their patients the realistic expectations and risks associated with treatment. Consider diabetes. In my early career, there was some indecision about whether "tight control" of diabetes actually produced substantially better outcomes than what could have been called, "standard management." Today, a preponderance of evidence indicates substantial benefits are gained, in terms of reduced morbidity, improved longevity, and quality of life, when diabetes is managed aggressively.
This message has filtered fairly well through the primary care network. Most internists and family physicians seem to be aware that standards of practice regarding diabetes have become more demanding over time. One thing we have learned is that the relationship between control and outcome tends to be linear, in the sense that there are no real "plateaus" in the management of this disease, where the patient can pause and enjoy a relatively large improvement from a modest effort. Instead, continued gain depends on continued work.
This work demands commitment, skill, experience, and effort from the patient and the doctor, as well as the office staff, the patient's family, and others in the clinical neighborhood. Inevitably, some physicians and offices are better equipped to provide a "strong" level of intervention for diabetes than others.
This creates an ethical problem that did not exist in the days when we were unsure as to how much precision mattered. When no protocol shows a distinct advantage, there is no duty to inform. Today, it would seem that physicians should inform their diabetic patients that there is a range of management tactics, encompassing dramatically different burdens and benefits.
It is clear to anyone who has done peer review that there is a wide spectrum of competence with diabetes care among primary care physicians. (Of course, there is also a spectrum of competence among diabetes specialists.) Yet, even among the best-informed and most-enthusiastic practitioners, setting up an office to deliver "optimal" care is almost impossible unless the practice focuses nearly exclusively on diabetes.
Constraints relative to staff mastery, scheduling and resources, record formats, even the layout of the examining room — completely independent of patient or payer mix — generally work against achieving the best results. Even the typical interruptions that a primary care physician takes for granted can break the concentration needed to deliver superb diabetes care in a primary care setting.
This does not imply that a respectable and adequate standard of care cannot be delivered in a typical office. I emphatically do not believe that patients with diabetes should all be referred to single-function, specialized clinics. Like most chronic diseases, the bulk of diabetes care will continue to come from generalists for the foreseeable future.
The simple solution, "Just send everybody to a specialist!" reduces to absurdity when generalized over a population. What I am pointing out is that, in diabetes care and other circumstances, the difference between "adequate" and "superlative" treatment may be enough to warrant explicit disclosure.
So, if proper informed consent starts with realism, many physicians ought to be saying something like this to their diabetes patients:
"You have a choice here. My practice will do the very best job it can at helping you manage your condition, but it simply isn't equipped to provide you with the comprehensive services you might be able to find at a dedicated institution that does nothing else but diabetes care.
"Such places exist (perhaps far away). What we do here is called standard management. It's infinitely better than no management. If you are determined to control your diabetes to the ultimate degree, you might want to look into your options for an aggressive program.
"While you are thinking, here is something to consider: It's possible that you might live 10 or 20 years longer with fanatic control than the average diabetes patient who is managed conventionally.
"It's conceivable that a lot of your waking hours during those years would be occupied with diabetes care. You will need to become the world's expert in your own physiology.
"What I can offer you is my best advice and care, based on the understanding that it might fall short of what you could possibly accomplish with a highly specialized institution.
"There is a price either way. You may find yourself swinging between these options over the course of your life."
Now, suppose this analysis is more or less accurate. Doesn't the same ethical reasoning apply to many conditions? Maybe not for treatments like flu shots, for which excellence consists simply of executing a procedure according to protocol — but certainly this applies across much of the repertory of primary care. Whether it is cardiovascular or cancer risk, sports medicine or marital counseling, — there is certainly someone, somewhere doing it better. So, what?
Some of us master obstetrics, psychiatry, orthopedics, or metabolism. No one is the master of all. The ethical burden on the generalist is not to apologize, but to bring reality into the discussion in a way that recognizes that there truly are competing values at play in health care.
Physician-performance measurement is one of the most problematic issues in health care. Comparing patient experiences between practices is still an infant science. Yet, there are topics throughout the field where common clinical intuition leaves no doubt that some practices or practitioners obtain better results. This imposes a delicate ethical burden on the "average" performer.
It is amazing and gratifying how many people understand and accept this as just another fact of life.
The challenge for the designers of the new health-care system is to distribute proven-best practices as widely as possible throughout the network, without anyone being deceived that care is actually uniform.

Multiple Sclerosis: New Perspectives on the Patient Journey–2019 Update
Summary of an Actuarial Analysis and Report


text:
The flaggers were out this morning stopping traffic on Highway 26 where a sidewalk is being constructed between the Rancho Calaveras clubhouse and Driver Road. The crews are making rapid progress. Already there's a stretch of brand new concrete sidewalk near Driver Road. Interestingly, there was some controversy over this safe-routes-to-school project that will enable children to walk or ride bicycles to nearby Jenny Lind Elementary School. The controversy focused mostly on exactly what route to use. No one said a safe route was a bad idea. But the plan to build a sidewalk stirred emotion. And I can't help but wonder if that emotion was due, in part, to the deeper symbolism of seeing a sidewalk here, amid the rolling hills.
Really, it is the end of an era. Now that there's a sidewalk, it's clear that this is a suburb, an extension of Stockton, really, and not the wild western countryside of our imaginations. I realize that people who've gone to urban planning school always recognized that Rancho Calaveras was a suburban housing development. After all, the lots are too small for agriculture, even though a lot of the kids here do 4-H projects. There are no ranchers in Rancho. People here earn their livings by commuting to jobs in the city, or draw retirement pensions. But if you ask people here why they came to Rancho Calaveras, they will say they wanted to "live in the country," and they are not being ironic.
It is a suburb with great views, which makes it seems country like. And it is un-city-like in that the infrastructure is lousy, with septic systems, bumpy roads, and long water lines that are maintenance headaches for Calaveras County Water District. It is an unusual suburb in that its controlling document, called a special plan, bars the construction of stores, gas stations or other services that might make it more convenient to live here. So you've got the crumbling infrastructure of a large-lot suburb, some degree of rural isolation, and lots too small for ranching, but without the conveniences of an urban area. For those conveniences, residents must drive to nearby Valley Springs or even to Stockton.
Maybe, just maybe, the new sidewalks being built right now will eventually be connected to bicycle trails that could allow carless Rancho Residents (ie. children, and many of the working poor) to get as far as Valley Springs. Rancho residents already live a suburban lifestyle. Maybe now that there's a sidewalk, they can also enjoy some of the benefits of suburbs.

My name is Andres, and I have been sponsored for six years through CFCA in Colombia.
My father works as a bricklayer and my mother is a housekeeper. My father works by seasons, and sometimes we do not have any income to sustain our family.
One day I had a great idea. I went with my mother to the CFCA office where she met with her mothers group. I like to go and help her during the meetings. At the meeting, I met a mother who knows how to make crafts. She was making many things with plastic, and I was very curious about it.
I wanted to help protect the planet, so I began researching crafts made with recycled paper.
I decided to make and sell these recycled-paper turtles to help to protect the planet and to help provide a little extra income for our family.
I made my first turtle and showed it to my mother. She liked my turtle, and we went to show the CFCA staff my handicraft.
Everyone wanted to have one, so I started to sell them.
My mother is glad because sometimes I can help to buy eggs and milk for our breakfast when my father is not working. I save part of the money to buy materials so I can decorate my turtles.
My new goal is to save enough money to buy myself a new pair of shoes.
My mother is very motivated by her mothers group. She started studying to finish her basic education, but she also helps me to make my turtles.
She likes crafts too, and she always teaches me to recycle. She says that my education is my priority, but she is glad I can spend my free time making crafts to earn a little income.
Now, I am learning to make bracelets so I can have another product to sell. I have fun making crafts, and I feel happy because I am helping my family and protecting the planet.
Now I sell my turtles to my neighbors, friends and people in stores. I want to thank my sponsor for all the benefits and support he is bringing to me.

Evolve Kitchens
"I'm selfish. When I build a company I want to do it my way. I don't want to be breathing in formaldehyde or toxic dust. I don't want to be installing a product that's poorly made. I don't want to use cheaper wood because no one will notice. I think its crazy to be installing a cabinet here in Calgary that was made and shipped from South Carolina. At the end of the day I want to get in my truck, drive home, and hold my head high. I won't compromise on quality or workmanship. I will use good products that are safe, durable, and environmentally friendly. Cabinets that are built here, and will last for years. Because when I take that step back and look at the finished job, I know I haven't compromised. So call me selfish, it makes me happy."
This is from our web site and it describes my feelings and passion for the work that i do. We create built in offices, desks, entertainment units but our bread and butter is kitchens. Our focus is building great custom kitchens locally, with top quality materials.
Our customers are mostly upper middle class Canadians. Many of our kitchen designs are quite modern, however our customer base is broad, from young couples to the retired. Customers are attracted to the fact we are environmentally conscious, as well as our high quality standards. Our current customers come to us through word of mouth. We would like our brand to reflect what we do and how we approach it, so that it may assist us in developing a larger client base.
The design should be modern looking. We use recycled material in our cabinets so the design can have an environmental aspect. We would like something clean, not too fussy, to reflect our modern minimalist designs. A design that is high end, classy, sleek and not overly ornate.
We are looking for a logo with a word-mark. The word-mark of "Evolve Kitchens" describes what we do (design and build kitchens). The logo should reflect how we do it (with environmental sensitivity at a very high quality).
Although there is a lot of emphasis on the environmental aspect of our company, we are not looking for a hippie-like logo.
Our printer is looking for at least 400dpi. We need:
-business cards full bleed 2 sided (preferably, need pdf layout doc for the printer)
-small version of the logo/wordmark (jpeg) to insert in our website
-The design should scale up sufficiently so we can be make it into a large decal for the sides of trailers and trucks.
-.ai or .psd originals

There is another company in town called revolve, their colours are orange and black so i would like to stay away from those colours used together.

Do Text Messages Cost Too Much?
A key lawmaker and a consumer group are pressuring wireless carriers to explain why prices for text messages have doubled in the last three years as the technology has surged in popularity over the same period.
Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee, sent a letter earlier this week to the largest wireless carriers demanding answers for why they've raised their prices for individual text messages outside of flat-rate monthly data plans to 20 cents from 10 cents since 2005. The increases aren't justified, he said, given the lower operational costs to the carrier to send the short code messages.
"It appears that each of (the) companies has changed the price for text messaging at nearly the same time, with identical price increases," Kohl wrote in the letter. "This conduct is hardly consistent with the vigorous price competition we hope to see in a competitive marketplace."
He asked the Chief Executives of Verizon, AT&T, Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile to report by Oct. 6 how much its costs them to send text messages compared to how much they've charged their customers over the last three years.
Verizon Wireless spokesman Jeffrey Nelson said the company is reviewing Kohl's letter and plans to respond to him directly.
He said that the cost of text messages is declining, however, because of monthly flat-rate plans that allow, for example, unlimited text messages.
"A teenager can easily send and receive hundreds of text a day - with our $20 unlimited plan (per month) that's fractions of a penny per message," Nelson said.
Consumers Union sent letters to heads of the Senate Commerce Committee and Judiciary Subcommittee to investigate the texting price increases and whether they are the result of a consolidating industry and less competition.
The group said that 600 text messages contain less data than a 1 minute phone call. It said that at 20 cents a text message, wireless carriers would collect $120 for 600 messages.
"Does $120 for the equivalent of one minute of voice seem reasonable?" the group wrote in the letters. "Or do these usurious rates evidence an extraordinary amount of market power?"
The two largest wireless carriers - AT&T and Verizon Wireless - have a combined subscriber base that is two times as large as the number of subscribers for T-Mobile and Sprint Nextel. Their leads in the wireless industry was strengthened earlier this year after they bought up the most spectrum in an auction by the Federal Communications Commission. The auction was for valuable wireless airwaves that can penetrate walls and other obstructions. Verizon also announced its purchase of regional carrier Alltel for $28 billion, which is under regulatory review by the Department of Justice and Federal Communications Commission.
Just how popular has texting become? CTIA released a study this week that showed the number of texts sent in June rose 10-fold to 75 billion messages from the same month three years ago.

Sorry, that was my son. I asked him to slow down. Normal service should return shortly...
Posted by: JkR | September 11, 2008 5:09 PM
Lets not forget that it is a double collection because most of the carriers charge 20 cents outgoing and then another 20 cents on the receiving end. Which means you get charged for spam (Why should I have to pay for a text plan to protect myself from spam? Also, why do I need to pay for text, data, and photo messages when I just want more minutes for a phone?)
I dropped AT&T for this very reason. They sell special 5 digit numbers for advertisers and then charge me for them to spam my phone. When I requested the 5 digit numbers be blocked, mysteriously they didn't have the ability.
Posted by: Michael | September 11, 2008 6:08 PM
I've been griping about this text charging problem for a while. When a text message has less data than a tenth of a second of voice, there is something horribly wrong. A 400 minute anytime plan converted to text charges would be $12,000 if text charges were an indication of what data costs on the network. Most people have a plan like that, except it's nowhere near 12k per month. The fact that all the providers are charging in lock step screams oligopoly to me. This is like sitting on an ocean of fresh water (effectively unlimited) and charging $1 per fluid ounce for it.
People complain about oil companies having the highest profit margins, but I would love to see the profit margin on a text message.
Posted by: TheDoctor | September 11, 2008 6:43 PM
What needs to be realized is that text messages are sent on the same carrier signal as regular phone calls, yet they aren't sent until there is bandwidth available on the carrier signal to do so. In other words, text messages never take up bandwidth when there isn't some to spare, so it virtually costs the companies nothing to send them.
Complete price gauging.
Posted by: Michael Strickland | September 11, 2008 6:53 PM
The companies are realizing that texting is becoming the main source of communication. Since they charge by the minute for talking and people are texting, they are going to reduce the cost for talking and make it more expensive to text.
Posted by: Brent T. | September 11, 2008 7:15 PM
Texting cost so much because its a HUGE income for Wireless companies. I'm a teen and don't text. My friends text. My one friend pays $5 for 500 texts from Verizon or something like that. But, from spam his freinds go over the 500 texts a month. One month he got a $100+ bill for texting because he received a lot of texts. Now hes broke because his friends texted him too much. Texting is the cash cow for Wireless companies now. Not going over minuets.
Posted by: Andrei | September 11, 2008 7:22 PM
In other countries, text messaging is a lot cheaper compared to voice calls. Also, you don't get charge for incoming text, only outgoing. So why can't they do it here?
Posted by: PG | September 11, 2008 7:52 PM
The US should get it together like in Japan. We only send emails to each other from phones and to and from computers and it costs 0.1 cent about and you don't need a special plan for it. I never get spam, although it is out there. It is nice to send emails to my family in CA from anywhere I want for nothing.
I think this would be a nice service to have, but the companies will surely lose money.
Posted by: Ted | September 11, 2008 8:14 PM
This seems exactly like price fixing to me. But if they get fined then the consumer is going to end up paying for that as well. They rip us off once and then do it again but when they hike the prices to cover the cost of fines they'll never go back down.
Posted by: Mason | September 11, 2008 9:14 PM
I've always thought it's bogus that I get charged for receiving messages. Messages someone has already paid to send.
The postal service doesn't charge me $0.42 to get a letter from my mailbox. More over, the postal service doesn't charge me $0.42 for mail, whether I want it or not.
Paying for unlimited texting is cheaper than allowing my friends to bump me over my plan.
Posted by: Adam | September 11, 2008 9:52 PM
Umm so we trying to figure this out what about gas prices??????
Posted by: Jeezer | September 11, 2008 10:57 PM
I am currently living in Japan, and the text based rates are actually on "packets" or data throughput (bandwidth) than just plain texts. Here, it seems that the opposite is just the same here. Every plan has some sort of unlimited or confined (meaning, if you send say 70 dollars worth of packets, but you have the 40 dollar confined deal, it makes the bill reduced to 40 and not 70+) texting plan here, but you select the individual talking (i.e. minutes) plan which can be expensive if you run over. Japan is known for being a country that is nearly exclusive in texting only and the plans reflect that. I don't think the US can adopt the "confined" plan, but I think it's acceptable to have unlimited text plans at reasonable prices as the US catches up with Japan in cellphones.

Txt msg cost is only 2 cents in my country without monthly plans. It's normal cost our communication campanies. However, some people argue that it's not cheap. I think, cost is too expensive in ur country.

www.techspank.com has a funny, scathing commentary on the Text Messaging pricing absurdity. Why we can't have a cheap and sensible system as is used in Europe is beyond me, and this certainly smacks of price gauging.
Posted by: Ian | September 12, 2008 1:35 AM
What in Sam Hill is wrong with people? Why text when you can talk? Most phones have a thing called 'voice mail' that will receive a message if the recipient is not able to talk at the time.
Also, parents should police their children who use these phones. Limit their minutes, their text messaging (if not cut it off entirely), and make the children actually talk face to face with their friends. It's what everyone did just 15 to 20 years ago. Enough of this cell phone talking and texting when the idiot children are within eyeball range of each other.
Cells phones are NOT a right, but a privilege, people. If you get a phone bill larger than you expect and/or if the child gets a phone bill larger than they can afford, change the phone usage.

I just went over my text limit and got charged an extra 34.00 for going over my 500 minute plan with Verizon... Hows that for getting screwed? Its simple they know people are texting like crazy and unless you get unlimited texts... they are going to gouge you... its just like the minutes deal back in the day... you just have to set your plan accordingly... its like insurance... you have to pay for it but you'll never use it... get the unlimited plan for mins and text... and just abuse them... yeah your gonna pay extra...it sux... but cell phones suck... they have 100% market share... they can do whatever the F888 they want! what are you going to do about it? Use a land line? HAH

Why not just stop texting?
Posted by: Oleg | September 12, 2008 10:17 AM
If texting costs too much, why not just stop doing it? Sending text messages is not a right...
Posted by: Guy | September 12, 2008 10:33 AM
Oleg and Critter69 got the right points. If you are going to text, stop complaining when you go overboard. It is just so simple to find something else to blame. Companies are here to make $$. While they may be price fixing, this service is NOT something you can't live without. Nobody is forcing you to use it. It is a cell PHONE after all.
Control your kid's usage. Find out how much it cost to text. Get unlimited plan if you HAVE TO. Didn't know it's going to cost so much is not an excuse.
The text spam is a different problem all together though. I do receive them from time to time, but the most i've received in a month is may be 3. I have Sprint/Nextel.

When we started with Verizon it was 10 cents to send and 2 cents to receive. Now I think it is about 20 or 25 cents to either send or receive if you aren't in a plan (and you need a plan per phone - you can't get a family plan unlike message minutes). The text spam cost is absolutely insulting. Once, when I called to complain about receiving a spam message they gave me a courtesy credit and said there is nothing they could do about it except blocking all text messages.

I wouldn't mind being charged a minute per text message that I send and 0 charge for received messages.

Heres an Idea. How about you DON'T text at all. Why spend half an hour texting back and forth when you could call them and talk for 5 minutes. Everyone here already said its cheaper to call them.
Posted by: ninja | September 12, 2008 12:21 PM
Have no fear. Text will die soon. We will just email from our smart phones like you would when you are at your computer. (or if you must, Instant Message)

I will say that texting prices are rediculous...how about data usage charges? Thats even more horrible.

Sounds like its time for a MASSIVE class action lawsuit!!

Let the market decide how much a text should cost. If they are selling messages for 20 cents then they are worth 20 cents. Next our lawmakers we will be pushing for a windfall profit tax on text messages.
Posted by: John | September 12, 2008 1:50 PM
The market has already decided text rates are overpriced. Their customer service is iffy (not the network quality), but Virgin Mobile US offers a QWERTY phone which runs for under $100 with NO contract. You can get a 1000 messages ( text or email) for $5 per month, or unlimited for $10. No additional data plan fees apply and because there's no contract, you can change plans anytime without fees. As usual, our reps in govt are pursuing costly solutions which will be available after the problem is already solved.

rob, you're right on point. Let the market deside and keep Government out of our business.
Bottom line, if you don't like the service then switch. A cell phone provider is here to make money, just as any business out there. You cannot blame them for practicing capitalism, after all thats the best system out there. As someone from the former soviet union i am happy to see capitalism and free market at work. If you do not like the service, switch to the one you like. If one isnt available, start one yourself.

If all you have to say are a few words, dial the number, say them, and hang up.
Posted by: Tom Truth | September 13, 2008 10:31 AM
Yeah I got nailed one month for $75 for going over my plan - it reminded my of the good old cell phone days when calls where like .5 a minute. The phone companies are using an old tactic to make more money.
Posted by: Alex | September 13, 2008 2:48 PM
I love the people that say just don't text. I'd like to know why i can't get rollover texts if i don't use my limit. I can only wish.

Somewhat related : I received a Domestic - Picture/Video message from (some number) @mm4.inphomatch.com
this week. I have no idea where that came from, but I have sent Verizon a customer service email to complain about it. Every time I receive a text or picture/video message from someone I don't know I am going to complain. Maybe one day Verizon will get the message that they shouldn't be charging people to receive things they don't want.

It's actually cheaper to communicate with the voyager spacecraft, than it is to text your best friend.
So. Use a wireless ethernet hotspot, and use Instant messaging. That's FREE !

"A teenager can easily send and receive hundreds of text a day - with our $20 unlimited plan (per month) that's fractions of a penny per message," Nelson said.
I think I see part of the problem. Verizon et al are bad at math. $20 = 2000 pennys guys, so you would have to send/receive more than 2000 text messages for the price to drop to "fractions of a penny".
As a retired telco employee I know very well how little bandwidth is used by a text message compared to a minute of voice, yet as stated above the cost per byte of text far exceeds the cost per byte of voice calls. Just in case you don't know all connections between cell towers, land lines, and the swithcing equipment that severs them has been digital for decades.
Textings main advantage is that is more reliable in weak signal areas. It provides a much more reliable message service than pagers, yet there are still lots of people using pagers.
Lessson? People are slow to learn when they are being hosed! The market will take care of this problem in due time. But the more we spread the word, the faster it will get fixed.
Oops, was that more than 160 characters?
My bad!
Posted by: Ron | September 13, 2008 9:46 PM
I'm simply amazed by those saying "let the market decide." I'm sorry, but do you not comprehend when you read?
The article clearly talks about the fact that the cell phone providers are basically a monopoly now, and practically government protected at that. If we're going to support such large corporations to handle our communication then some government oversight is to be expected when price gouging is suspected.
Posted by: Mike | September 14, 2008 3:23 PM
According to Leo LaPorte "The Tech Guy on KFI", Doubling the price from .10 cents to .20 cents means users who text, are paying $140 per Megabyte, much more than the actual cost of the bandwidth to the phone companies.
Time for some outrage, people!

One WEB-site I came across recently made the claim that SMS (Short Message Service) revenues worldwide was upwards of $100B. The author of this claim went on to state that this revenue was bigger than a number of other entertainment venues (he included DVD rentals and music).
A little here .. a little there .. and pretty soon .. we're talking serious money.
Posted by: wmartin46 | September 15, 2008 9:46 AM
Yes, the US is the world's most expensive markets. The carriers charge .20 to receive and .20 to send. Even in expensive markets like Australia (.22 AUD), UK ( 10p), Netherlands (.18 Euro) - no market charges to receive text messages. All countries have cheaper plans, if you buy monthly unlimted capped plans.
The real crime the US carriers is commiting is allowing free email spammers access to their gateways. So a spammer will send a free email to email@example.com, and try all five carriers. THe spammer doesnt get charged but the recipient. THIS IS A CRIME AND THEY SHOUD SHUT THESE FREE EMAIL GATEWAYS DOWN.

Not according to state judges who give authorization to SPAM mailers to dump millions and billions of non-tracable emails into your personal email boxes.
Didn't you know that your personal property, and its connection to the electronic highway is "FREE". And its the solemn duty of SPAM mailers to completely overload the internet with worthless, pieces of non-solicited junk, just to peeve off the receipent.
Thanks a load judges you really help the public.
The SPAM sender is nothing more than that annoying evening time telephone caller who was trying to sell you something. The "auto-dialer" with the recorded message, who you told to stuff it. Many states enacted laws to remove personal telephone numbers from these outfits, only now to resurface as SPAM mailers.
Now the judges are going to give free access to your home PC and ISP to the SPAM sender, who doesn't have a block on them, so now millions of non-traceable emails are going to rain in on your home email accounts, with no way to stop them.

CONCORD — Youthful energy versus experience took center stage Thursday night as the two main Republican gubernatorial candidates fought in a televised debate over who was better equipped to lead New Hampshire into more prosperous times.
Fifty-four-year-old Ovide Lamontagne argued his experience as a business lawyer makes him most suited for the job, but 35-year-old Kevin Smith countered that his youth and bold vision are needed, not old ideas.
At one point, Smith turned to Lamontagne and told him he needed to trade in his Blackberry for an iPhone. The Republican party is full of youthful energy, said Smith who pointed to Paul Ryan, the party's pick to be vice president who is 42.
"I think we could use some good youthful energy," he said.
Lamontagne replied that he's been using a Blackberry since before it was cool to have a smartphone.
"The issues facing New Hampshire are serious," he said. The next governor needs to have the kind of experience he's had in business, working with charities and serving on as chairman of the state board of education, Lamontagne said.
The GOP winner in the Sept. 11 primary faces the winner of a three-way contest among Democrats Maggie Hassan, Jackie Cilley and Bill Kennedy.
The two also clashed over who had the best plan to help business.
Lamontagne proposes reducing the state's tax on business profits from 8.5 percent to 8 percent over two years compared to Smith's proposal to reduce it to 5 percent over seven years. Smith also would reduce the tax on business enterprise, which is a tax on wages, borrowing and dividends, from 0.75 percent to 0.25 percent.
Lamontagne criticized Smith for making a "false promise" to business, pointing out that he could not predict what would happen beyond a governor's two-year term.
"Anyone who has dealt with government understands changes occur," he said.
But Smith said business need the kind of certainty he's offering in a multiyear plan.
The two found common ground in their support for so-called right-to-work legislation that would limit unions' ability to collect fees from nonunion workers. They both sidestepped questions about their support for limits on abortion and repealing New Hampshire's gay marriage law.
Lamontagne said the economy, not social issues is his priority.
The two differed on whether they would have signed a law Democratic Gov. John Lynch signed last year that expanded the state's death penalty to cover burglaries in response to a machete and knife attack that killed a New Hampshire woman and maimed her daughter during a home invasion. Lamontagne said he would not have signed it, while Smith said he would have.
They also differed when asked if they would support a tuition freeze in exchange for restoring aid cut in the last budget to the university system. Smith said he favored restoring some aid if tuition was lowered. Lamontagne said he supports more scholarship support rather than freezing tuition.
Both criticized the popular incumbent Lynch, who is retiring after four terms, for not being a strong leader. Lamontagne said Lynch was good at handling disasters, but failed to get results, such as putting a proposed constitutional amendment before voters to shift control over school aid to lawmakers.
"I'm not running for governor to be Mr. Congeniality," added Smith.
Lamontagne and Smith faced off at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College in Manchester. The debate aired live on WMUR-TV. The Union Leader also was a sponsor.
Robert Tarr also is seeking the GOP nomination but did not participate in the debate.
The Democratic candidates debated on television Wednesday night.

Phase 4 Stereo
A comprehensive 40 CD overview of some of the most sonically-spectacular albums ever made, from a period when Decca enjoyed a clear technological lead over its competitors.
INCEPTION: 'Phase 4 stereo' was created in 1961 as an American subsidiary of Decca, and steered to success by New Yorker Tony D'Amato. 200 classical releases were eventually released within this label, with the first major classical releases 50 years ago in 1964.
IMMEDIACY OF SOUND & A WIDE SOUND SPECTRUM: Using Decca's 20-channel mixing desk, the label aimed to deliver an immediacy of sound which new recording and the LP techniques permitted, and thus give listeners an experience they would not obtain anywhere else either in the concert hall or from other labels. Phase 4 vividly expanded the scope and spectrum of recorded sound. See the YouTube video for details.
THE TECHNOLOGY: A 4 track, 20 channel console mixer built especially by Decca. Each channel (recorded independently) of the console had equalisation and reverb/echo (electronic or chamber), and each channel was assignable to any of the 4 tracks of an Ampex tape recorder. For the early to mid-sixties this was state-of-the-art
Phase 4 in four minutes
