Tucked away in Highgate, Bodhi J is a place I would very much like to call home.
Rushing in on a Friday afternoon, it takes all of 53 seconds for me to calm down and for the day to melt away. For a precious two hours after I step off busy Pier Street into this tranquil oasis, I am in a complete state of calm and relaxation.
Yep, I've died and gone to heaven and no, I do not want to return to earth thank you.
Entering Bodhi J's new Pier Street location is like walking into a grand and beautiful historic house—think exposed brickwork, beautiful lighting, soft neutral decor and the most delicious smelling candles. If there had been a roaring fire in the corner, I wouldn't have been surprised. It's cosy, charming, quiet and very, very chilled out.
The spa features nine treatment rooms, all painstakingly renovated and restored, as well as a manicure/pedicure lounge, a relaxation lounge and an outdoor courtyard where you can hang out pre or post treatment. Great care has been taken in designing this day spa and it is in a word: stunning.
Having experienced the Bodhi J style of pampering at their sister spa in Wembley (which was probably my most favourite ever day spa before coming here!), I knew the amazingness of what I was in for and it did not disappoint. I was treated to the Island Escape package—a 30-minute spa bath, followed by a one-hour aromatherapy massage and a one-hour Sodashi pure radiance facial. (Side note: Bodhi J use only two Australian natural and organic skin care ranges here—the incredibly luxurious Sodashi and equally beautiful Li'tya.)
When I enter my treatment room, a fruit platter and glass of bubbles awaits me as I slide into the spa for 30 minutes of relaxation time. I can't remember the last time I had a bath and it is bliss.
From here, my therapist Chloe (with the magic hands) comes in and gets started on what is basically two hours of indulgence. Did I fall asleep for part of it? Perhaps. Did my skin feel and look incredible afterwards? You betchya! I was in Pamper Town, population: me.
Founded by husband and wife team Tania and Danny Taylor, you can choose from a number of facials, massages, body therapies and beauty services here, and there is also a gorgeous yoga studio, offering Vinyasa flow classes (with only nine spots available per class) throughout the week.
Bodhi J really does feel like a home away from home—albeit the most luxurious home ever. I can't wait to go back!

John Oliver Shows Some Toy Cars on "Last Week Tonight" *UPDATE*
If you watched "Last Week Tonight" with John Oliver this past weekend, you may have noticed an interesting graphic on screen during one segment… He was discussing the epidemic of shady, even predatory, used car financing, and this image appeared over his shoulder several times:
As you can see, the cars are clearly some sort of small models. Regardless of your politics or interest in the story at hand, this is a pretty neat sight for diecast collectors. So, we're going to toss this one out there to you hobbyDB Users… can you identify the brand, scale, and make/model of the cars in the graphic? (We've identified several of them already, but we want to leave the fun up to you!) As a handy helper, here's the graphic again with each car numbered. Respond in the comments below, and we will publish them later!
Also, we know that some of these cars are already in our database, but if you can identify any that aren't, would you mind adding them?
And if you want to watch the segment, you can find it here. It's on HBO, so there
might be will definitely be some salty language. So, maybe watch the clip after work or with your headphones on. Enjoy!
UPDATE! Several folks have emailed us with at least part of the answer… let's see if you can fill in the rest. First of all, these are all Johnny Lightning 1:64 scale cars, as most people figured out.
Here are the ones that have been correctly identified so far…
3. 1971 Buick Riviera (Big Boats Series)
7. 1960 Ford Country Squire Wagon (Big Boats Series)
11. Dodge Monaco Taxi (Big Boats Series)

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul plans to head to Canada to undergo hernia surgery, according to his attorneys. According to the Courier-Journal, Paul, who is one of the most aggressive critics of socialized medicine in the Senate, is scheduled to have an outpatient operation at Shouldice Hernia Hospital in Ontario, Canada, next week.
Paul was injured in November of 2017, when his neighbor — Rene Boucher — attacked him while he was mowing his lawn. Boucher says that he assaulted the U.S. Senator over a pile of debris stacked near their shared property line. Rand recalled the experience as a "living hell."
"It was sort of I guess a living hell for the first four or five weeks," Paul said. "I couldn't get out of bed without assistance, six broken ribs, damage to my lungs, two bouts of pneumonia. It was really a tough go of it. But each day I feel a little bit better."
Boucher pleaded guilty to assault, and was sentenced to 30 days in prison and a $10,000 fine, which he is appealing.
Details of Paul's surgery were revealed as part of the documents related to the ongoing lawsuit. According to those documents, as part of his recovery, Paul requires hernia surgery. He is opting to have the work done in Canada, where universal health care coverage applies to the majority of the population.
Paul has called socialized medicine and universal care "slavery" in the past, per the Courier-Journal, arguing that the United States was founded on the right to pursue happiness, but not "physical comfort." He has said that universal health care would enable people to come to his house, and "conscript" his services as an ophthalmologist.
Instead, Paul believes that the private market is the only appropriate way to address health care needs.
ICYMI today I did a health care Q&A on Facebook live: https://t.co/F8qARbFZ6f— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) July 19, 2017
Neither Paul nor his representatives have commented on why the Senator chose to have surgery in Canada, where socialized medicine is the standard. Shouldice Hernia Hospital, which is privately administered, bills itself as "the global leader in non-mesh hernia repair." The surgery will likely cost somewhere between $4,000 and $8,000.
A spokesperson for Paul, one named Kelsey Cooper, shot back at the Courier-Journal after it broke the news.
"This is more fake news on a story that has been terribly reported from day one — this is a private, world renowned hospital separate from any system and people come from around the world to pay cash for their services," Cooper said.
Paul says that he intends to recover the costs of the surgery from Boucher.

Hi Karl,
I have bought a couple of new sensors as I look to expand my pibeacon setup, as you make it so easy.
The BME680 is working fine, but the SGP30 is not. It is telling me bad Sensor data.
I struggled a bit looking at both pimoroni and adafruit libraries but I can see it responding to CO2 changes in python as I breathe on it, so it is working. Are there specific libraries I should ensure are setup that you use? Anything else I could try to debug?

Wild Reindeer of Novaya Zemlya Archipelago
According to different data sources, the reindeer population of Novaya Zemlya has a dramatic history. Hunted to the extinction at the beginning of the 20th century it was re-established by the end of that century. But a regime of strict closure of the Archipelago has not permitted studies of reindeer in the wild for many years. The uncertain situation with this reindeer subspecies must be resolved and current status clarified. The problems, facts and prospects for conservation of reindeer on the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago are identified and discussed on the basis of a literature review.

Wendy Maureen Hobbs
May 22, 1922 – Nov. 20, 2017
The family of Wendy Hobbs is sad to announce her death at her home in the Nanaimo Seniors Village on Monday, November 20.
Wendy was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. She was predeceased one year ago by Dave, her husband of 71 years, and by her brothers Royston, Rod and Keith. She is survived by her sister Juanita (Jack) in Brentwood Bay, her children Rick (Cindy), Diana (Ron), Kathryn and Naida (Steve), and her grandchildren Morgan and David.
Wendy was born in Victoria and had a happy childhood in a large family of five children. When the second World War broke out, she joined the Royal Canadian Navy and was sent to Winnipeg for cook's training and then stationed in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. She was very proud of her service as a WREN and drew on her cook's training when she later raised her family on home cooked meals. She married her high school sweetheart in 1945 and they moved to Nanaimo where their four children were born.
Her life in Nanaimo was happy and busy at home with her children, Anglican Church activities, square dancing friends—she sewed elaborate skirts and shirts for their square dancing events—and later, membership in the Nanaimo Yacht Club. Wendy was active in the local Voice of Women group and volunteered for the Mental Health Association.
The Hobbs family spent many happy summers at their cabin near Piper's Lagoon, moving out to "Lazy Daze" as soon as school ended and back home each Labour Day weekend. Wendy campaigned for the preservation of Pipers Lagoon Park when the spit and headland were later threatened by development. When the lease for the cabin was not renewed, Wendy and Dave turned to boating and spent many more years cruising the BC coast in both sail and power boats.
Wendy loved to fish, and she canned her catch on her galley stove.
Wendy and Dave moved to Gabriola Island in the mid 70s and Wendy truly loved island life and their home and garden overlooking Degnen Bay.
She was actively involved in many Gabriola organizations including the Cemetery Committee, Community Hall Board, Island Singers, Judy's Carollers, Silva Bay Yacht Club, Garden Club, Gabriola Island Veterans' Association and her book club.
In later years, she was happy to be at home knitting, feeding the birds and looking out at her view before their move to Nanaimo Seniors Village in November 2013.
Wendy was a life-long, multi-talented artist who was always creating in one medium or another. She was a potter, painter and silk screen artist and was generous in sharing her expertise with others. She worked with leather and print making techniques. She attended art classes at Malaspina College, enrolling the first year it opened in the old hospital building on Kennedy Street. For many years she created street banners for the City of Nanaimo and taught would-be potters in her pottery studio at home.
Each Christmas she painted a festive scene on the big front room window of their Nanaimo home and the family waited in eager anticipation as she unveiled the hard sauce for the Christmas pudding, sculpted into a significant event from the previous year. We all hoped that our accomplishment would merit the honour of the hard sauce!
Family life was most important to Wendy and she supported her children and grandchildren with love and acceptance.
She hosted countless family dinners and parties for her friends and neighbours. Her calm and generous approach to life was appreciated by her friends as well as her family. She taught us all how to live well by her example.
The family is grateful for the loving care that Wendy received from all the staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village in the last four years, especially from Edith, Karen and Maxine. Their love and support made it possible for Mum to stay in her home until the end. We also thank Dr. Jim Mander for years of compassionate care and to Dr. Robin Love for his attention in her final days.
Wendy will be laid to rest in the Gabriola Cemetery and her long life will be honoured at a family gathering.

James Andrew Brown (Tim)
February 26, 1923- September 25, 2017
Tim lived, worked and loved all 94 years on Gabriola…truly his home!
Tim was born in a log cabin at the back of Elgie Road farm. He was the first of four born to Daniel and Sarah Brown. At a very young age Tim was roaming the farm, hunting grouse or deer and completing many chores. Before he was a teenager he was plowing fields with horses, logging with horses and working on the farm. By the time he was 16 he was driving a delivery truck…perhaps the first on Gabriola.
In 1938 his family moved to the Horseshoe Road farm where he would remain for the rest of his life, buying the farm from his father in the 1960s.The farm on Horseshoe Road was a self sufficient family farm for many years. Sheep, cattle, chickens, hay, orchards and produce flourished in the valley.
Prior to the established fire department Tim was actively involved in fire prevention and getting together with others and their equipment for any and all emergencies.
In the 1960s Tim was the caretaker for Weldwood lands, logging, building roads, shipping Christmas trees to Hawaii, running his own sawmill, farming and doing just about anything he could that made money!
Tim had a great sense of humour and a strong sense of family. He was very involved with his grandchildren, which means he was always good at finding them a job and keeping them busy on the farm! He enjoyed singing, people watching and sharing stories. He loved hosting the Rod & Gun Club annual lamb barbeque at the beach. He knew every bird and animal that lived on or near his land and had incredible long distance vision.
Tim had awesome memories that painted a vibrant picture of Gabriola as it was through the years. He loved to share those memories, especially with family and fellow pioneers.
Tim loved blackberries and loved to get the family involved in picking berries….he was very proud of all of the jars of jam his wife made each year!
…AND...All of his life Tim dreamed of a bridge to Nanaimo.
Tim is survived by his wife Elin Brown(Nan) his beloved dog Willie and his sheep.
Tim will be missed by daughter Danna, her children and grandchildren.
He is survived by stepson Conor, stepdaughter Lyn and their families.
Numerous extended family members will miss his great stories!
There will be no service but rather a family gathering in the summer of 2018.

Tony Nunes
Tony was born on Flores Island, in the Portuguese Azores, immigrated to Canada in 1962, and moved to Gabriola in 1975 to make his trade as a cabinet-maker. He was relied upon by all who knew him for his incisive observations and unvarnished commentary on such subjects as politics, gardening, soccer, the complexities of human behavior, and doing things properly! A true islander, he suffered a persistent exasperation with island life-- but his loyalty was restored whenever he went elsewhere. (Gabriola valued him on his own terms, and he knew it.) He passed at home, on July 17th, surrounded by his own uncompromising handiwork. Tony is survived by daughters Andrea and Melissa Nunes.
A Celebration of Life will be held October 14, 2:30pm at Tony's stomping grounds, Robert's.
Memorial donations can be made to the Gabriola Health Care Foundation.
Margaret McCollum
January 18, 1922 – September 17, 2017
The family of Marg McCollum are sad to announce the death of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who left us in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday, September 17.
Born as Elvyn Emily Osolin, but always known as Marg or Margie, our mom led a long, full and interesting life. She was born in Winnipeg and came from pioneering stock, Latvian immigrants who homesteaded near Lac Du Bonnet, Manitoba. Her early years weren't always easy. Her father left the family when she was very young, and Marg talked of feeling lonely because of the long hours her mother was forced to work. Eventually her mom, Selma, met John (Jack) Beckman, the man that Marg would call Dad for the rest of her life. Not able to divorce, Jack changed his last name to Osolin and the family moved to Lac Isle, Alberta, to allow Selma and Jack to live together as man and wife.
The Depression was hard on the family and Marg experienced poverty in a way that is hard to imagine today—the kind of poor where her parents were in such deep debt to the doctor that it took them years to pay it back—the kind of poor where they couldn't afford to bury a deceased child until the ground thawed in the spring. Like many people who survived the Depression, Marg came away from that time knowing what a dollar was worth and how to take care of it. She also understood what it meant to have a publicly-funded medical system.
Always bright and good with numbers, when Marg finished school she moved to Edmonton and trained as a bookkeeper. When World War II broke out, career options expanded for women and Marg was featured in the Edmonton Journal as one of the first of three women hired to work at the post office.
In 1943, she married Ken McCollum who was serving as a flight engineer in the RCAF. After the war, she and Ken moved to Lac St. Anne where they ran a general store, gas station and post office. By this time, Marg had two very active little boys and she used to laugh when she talked about trying to keep an eye on Kevin and Don while still selling stamps, pumping gas and even cutting meat. As anyone who knows Kevin can attest, she had her work cut out for her.
Marg's husband, Ken, always wanted a farm of his own and in 1953 he found a quarter section of land on Gabriola being sold for back taxes. Marg, who was always game and never afraid of hard work, followed him with the two little boys and a new baby (Gary) in tow. When she arrived, there were two ferries per day, no electricity and the nearest neighbour was 3 km away. It was almost urban compared to some of the places where she'd grown up. She rolled up her sleeves, dug a big garden and got to it. That first summer she hand-pumped water, carried buckets into the big field on what is now Buttercup Road and then found out about Gabriola deer. Marg loved gardening, and till almost the end those "GD" deer drove her crazy. As her three boys grew up, she not only cared for them but she volunteered for 4H, was involved in the Women's Institute and the Aggie Hall and picked salal to supplement the McCollum's income. She also knew how to put a large pot of venison stew on the table and stand back while her boys ate.
Once her boys were grown, Marg began a career in real estate as Gabriola's first resident realtor. She was an ethical woman whose natural warmth and genuine interest in people led her to be very successful in her field. In 1981, Marg was Century 21's top realtor in BC. Real estate also led her to an unexpected discovery. In the early 1970s, Marg was showing a couple of clients around Gabriola when they began chatting. They discovered they were all of Latvian ancestry and as the conversation progressed it became apparent that Marg's clients knew her biological father and were able to give her his contact information. After over 50 years, she finally knew what had happened to her father. She was able to speak with him on the phone, but he died before they could meet.
In 1983, Marg lost her husband Ken. During this difficult time, her career and her grandchildren gave her focus. She also loved golf and was one of the founding members of the Gabriola Golf Club and, along with others, put up $12,000 and a whole lot of sweat equity to get the club started.
It was through the golf club that she met John Hood. It was giggles at first sight. They golfed and laughed and square danced and travelled at every opportunity, truly living life to the fullest. She was his "Margarita" and he treated her like a queen. In 1997, John passed away and Marg was widowed yet again.
Well into her eighties, Marg continued to golf, garden and travel. In 2007, she moved to the Lion's Garden Homes and was active as treasurer and was also on the Garden Committee. She missed her garden terribly when she first moved, but Marg was a social person, always loving a night of laughter and socializing with "the gang." At the Lions, many of the gang members were right down the hall, and she rarely missed a chance to catch up at Happy Hour.
During the past three months as Marg's heart failed, she became increasingly worried about having to move off Gabriola, her home for nearly 65 years. The care and support she received from her neighbours at the Lions, the Gabriola Home Support and her family helped to keep her in our community and we are very grateful that she was able to stay here until the end.
Thanks also to Dr. Bosman and the ambulance crew for their professional services and their kindness to our mother during the last part of her life.
So that is the story of her life, but who was Margaret McCollum? Well, for Marg, it was all about family. Her strong and generous character formed the fabric of our family and in the words of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren she was:
• inspirational, truly inspirational
• loving
• kind, generous and caring
• had a great sense of humour
• loyal, strong and dutiful to her family
• a powerful force
• persevering
• stoic
• fair
• dynamic
• determined
• joyful!
• hilarious
• effervescent
• loved a good joke
• attentive
• positive
• stubborn
• tactful
• youthful
• fair
• Inclusive
• Supportive
• Understanding
• she made you feel special
And so ends an era. We have lost our remarkable mother, grandmother and great-grandmother but she'll never be far away. She has left us a legacy of love, a deep and unwavering love that will continue to wrap all of us in its arms. And what a gift that is.
With deep gratitude and love Mom,
Your boys, Kevin, Don and Gary McCollum and their families.
Muriel Eileen Cramer
Dec. 7, 1933 – May 24, 2017
Muriel Cramer (nee McFaddin) of Gabriola Island, British Columbia passed away at 83 years of age. Muriel worked for many years as a lookout observer at the Hamilton Lookout with BC Forest Service in the Douglas Lake area. In the mid 1980's Muriel and Wendell moved to Gabriola where they found their paradise. She loved Gabriola, where she spent many hours looking out over the ocean watching birds and wildlife. They were members of the Gabriola Golf Course for several years. Family and friends admired her artistic talents including knitting and crocheting. Muriel was predeceased by her husband Wendell, her daughter Patricia and sister Pat. She is survived by her brother John, sister Jean, her daughter Naomi, son Don, two grandchildren and close friend Linda.
Muriel expressed her wishes for her remains in a poem:
After I'm Gone
Sing happy songs when I'm "the late",
No service hold for me.
My body to research donate.
These eyes again may see.
When they have taken all they wish
Burn what remains of me
And cast my ashes to the fish,
So I may rest at sea.
From Gabriola let me waft
And leave my burial jar.
I shall be watching from aloft,
As Heaven can't be far.
Muriel E. Cramer, 1987
Memorial donations in honour of Muriel may be made to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada.
A remembrance will be observed at a later date, for family and close friends of both Muriel and Wendell.

Smartphones are essentially hand-held mini-computers on which you can also make phone calls, and the mobile communications industry is spending many millions in developing and promoting them as the future of integrated office communications. In 3G covered locations, an HSDPA connection provides speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps which is impressive; however a faster connection can be achieved by utilising the Wi-Fi capabilities of the phone. The modern smartphones facilitate accessing web at great speeds owing to the 3G data networks development, besides the WiFi support addition. The AMOLED screen of the N86 smartphone is 2'6 inches wide with a display resolution of 240×320. For most consumers, there isn't a more important technology purchase decision than choosing a smartphone. The Bada operating system for smartphones was announced by Samsung in November 2009.
Our techs are fully trained to handle all types of smartphone issues including glass and LCD replacement, water damage, headphone jack replacement, home button repair, battery replacements and more. WHEN talking about the smartphone market, LG is a brand that is frequently overlooked and this is a shame given the functionality, design and quality of its devices. Smartphone has a lesser resolution screen than the iPhone and a memory card is for 2GB, while iPhone has 4GB and above. Some smartphones also have touch screens, such as the iPhone and the newest Blackberry Storm. We work hard to get you reconnected as quickly as possible with a high-quality repair at the lowest price around. As mentioned earlier, the smartphone offers the ability to swap out the battery for one that is fully charged, although this will need to be purchased as it doesn't come standard.
Looking for a Smartphone is appropriate only after considering the many software applications, as it should successfully provide access to all the features to prove its name. When it's finished, go to the Start Menu of your Windows Mobile smartphone and click onto the Media Player. There are a number of features present in the handsets that are available in the market. A sensor which measures acceleration, smartphone accelerometers measures a phone's orientation, which helps quickly adjust and rotate the screen based on how a phone is being held. They represented a large share of the market in 2005 and 2006, before falling out of favor.
For added durability, LG has also added silicon polycarbonate to the top and bottom of the smartphone and a Gorilla Glass 4 for the display. However, the only smartphones which used MeeGo was the Nokia N9 and Nokia N950 (MeeGo v1.2 Harmattan). The new Lenovo Phab Plus gives you all of the fun of a tablet with the portability of a smartphone in a thin & stylish aluminum unibody case. We will be happy to diagnose and replace any defective parts that were used during the original repair. We try to focus our list on only the most important image capturing features and technologies available on the market.
During the mid-90's, Nokia began to heat things up by introducing its first line of smartphone – the Nokia 9000 series. People looking into upgrading their phones to the new models of Blackberry, HTC, or iPhone can look into the possibility to sell old smartphones to companies who purchase such things. Apple changed the smartphone industry with its introduction of the Apple iPhone in 2007.

The color of the YEAR is orange! Along with Sephora's new website (which I love), they have launched a partnership with the Pantone Color Institute (a brilliant move on both parts).
Orange in make-up looks great on all skin tones and can really work with all styles! I think it is so great how on the new Sephora website, you select your eye color, skin tone, and hair color, and they will select the best shades of orange for you AND give you the best Sephora products in the right shade for you. They also have their 5 best make-up tutorials for the Summer season. I just love this and am so excited to use their tutorials and show you how!
Below are photos from www.sephora.com and also Sephora's video with Pantone.

The platform provides an opportunity for the virtual display of inventions and sharing the stories of invention development with other inventors, investors, businessmen, and manufacturers. A description is provided on how the inventors have come up with the idea and developed it, what challenges they have faced, and how they have marketed the idea along with a short description of the function of inventions, a biography of the inventor and the photo of the invention. The page is linked to the website of the invention so that the prototype can be seen and purchased. This platform actually helps the idea owners to become familiar with the invention development procedure and increase the visibility of the inventions which leads to the commercialization of inventions.
The provided stories will be disseminated via IFIA Professional Publication including the Newsletter and Magazine.
and share your stories with us.
IFIA is holding the "Innovation Challenge" for the presented inventions and at the end of the year three of the inventions, elected by the International Jury Board, will be awarded IFIA Cash Prize and Best Invention Medal and certificate. Meanwhile, a free booth will be dedicated to the showcasing of the top inventions in one of IFIA International Invention Exhibitions.

Rosedown has nearly twenty-eight acres of 19th century styled gardens. The garden was started in 1835 by Martha Barrow Turnbull and continued by her daughter Sarah, and Sarah's daughters.
The garden contains both English styled picturesque gardens and formal leisure gardens.
Our warm season flowers include: Celosia, Lantana, Begonia, Coleus, Balsam just to name a few.
The Rose gardens contain a collection of antique and modern roses that bloom in April and October. Most of our roses are Teas, Chinas, Noisettes, Bourbons or Polyanthas. Before the oaks in the allee got to large, Martha planted a lining of roses along the allee.
The Camellia garden is where Martha and her trusted garden slave Augustus experimented with grafting camellias. You will see Camellia Japonica as you walk through the garden along with many other varieties of Camellia.
The Underwood Oak in the formal garden is our oldest tree. It is 250 years old and is named for Mrs. Katherine F. Underwood who restored Rosedown plantation in the 1950's. The tallest tree is a Loblolly Pine located in the northwest corner of the garden and is over 300 years old. The largest trees along the allee and throughout the gardens are Live Oak. They are native to the southeast U.S. and stay green all year long (hence the name Live Oak). The trees in the allee were planted about 10 years before construction of the main house.
The Spanish moss hanging from our trees is not a moss. It is in the bromeliad family, a relative to the pineapple. It is not harmful to the trees and is spread by seeds via the wind.
Our Orchard
Martha had three orchards at Rosedown. Our orchard is just a sample of what she would have grown in them, based on the entries found in her garden diary.
The Peaches
Gulf King Peach, La Feliciana, Babcock peaches, and Florida Gold
Our Plums are a delight!
Bavey's Green Gage, Burbank Plum, Methley, Gulf Rose and Gulf Beauty
Orient, Keiffer, Ayers, Seckel, Pineapple pear, Comice
Fuji, Ein Shemer, Joy, Shell
Quince were once common in America and most farms had a least one quince tree. The fruit is large, hard and tart. Quince is mostly used to make a wonderful jelly. We have several varieties of quince including: Pineapple, Orange, Cook's Jumbo and Smyrna.
Fig preserves are the best! We grown Celeste and Brown Turkey figs and right now our trees are loaded. The figs are still green, but in a few weeks, they will be ready for picking.
We have Brazos, Chickasaw, Apache, Rosbourgh and Arapaho. The grapes are getting ripe too. Our grape orchard is full of Concord and Mars grapes.

What it's been like the last year
2015 was a very unusual year for us at Sky Relics,
We went to conventions spoke to people, shook hands spoke to many different gamers who got very excited about what we're doing with the game, yet what we had wasn't the game we're building today or even a shadow of the game is like it is today. Two people tried to make something spectacular in 2015, it was my creative baby and yes I was responsible for the art, stories, game history and game rules, pretty much everything. I was spending money and all of it coming out of my pocket for a lot of the stuff, which is normal for many start-ups, there are costs but that didn't bother me. I failed and that with putting so much into it felt like I had failed. After the failure of the first kickstart which I cancelled, I took a step back and looked at it, I knew that the game wasn't quite complete enough for the Kickstarter, I rushed, but we went anyway.
In the end the friendly people who I shook hands with spoke with at the conventions many did not even back the project that's life, If I had the Kickstarter going at the time of the cons it might have made a difference. But the lessons to be learned here are that conventions are great to meet people, to have them play the game see what you're all about and get feedback.
They are not potential backers as you are competing with too many distractions and like a mayfly you burn brightly for a day and then fade.
Conventions are a great way to sell products though which are finished, or even promoting a Kickstarter of what's coming out during the convention maybe but even then I don't think they offer huge benefits to gain backers..
We plan on going a few conventions this year in my local area of San Francisco. And I plan on meeting people dreaming and talking, and of cause having a great time and that's what conventions are all about. It's about playing games with your fellow gamers having a good time making new connections and for me that's what I get from conventions anyway.
But when I think what happened in 2015, the game I was playing didn't read well in the demo version so the game I was playing was the fun awesome game that people who played it enjoyed and said how they loved it. The game on the Kickstarter with demo PDF was a different game and unfortunately it read differently, rules were not the same, and things didn't quite translate well.
Now, I know it's the bad writing in this case, I reread it. Now gamers have a language that they've grown to understand from reading other manuals, other books and other games. So when you don't speak the language to the gamer, misunderstandings happen and that's the big problem for Sky Relics. So what's different in 2016, the old/writer editor is no longer with Sky Relics and left the team, and now I'm working with some really talented individuals that bring a lot to gaming.
They each have talents in their own way, different from each other, and added to my abilities we have a complete team that is getting stronger every day. We have found that having such a team has led to ideas bouncing off each other and new concepts and different work ethoses evolving. It is those diverse qualities that is proving to be interesting and pushing smart design decisions forward, and curtailing rushing to a part.
The mistakes of 2015 will not be made again, we're taking our time play testing more and getting game reviews this time before the Kickstarter.
It is my goal for the people who read the game rules will play the game as it was intended to be played and not playing a different game by the way the rules were written. This can be hard like anything else as game writing is at times difficult but also rewarding. When gamers read the rules and understand it is a beautiful thing, however the danger for the designer is that they the game designer understand both the game and the rules, in their head it all makes sense. They can make those small shifts in judgments so it all works, but for the new player that is not the case and cannot happen.
So stay tuned and I hope that you'll agree that we've hit our new goals this year and a well-written game well designed game will be presented for you! thank you.

Attacks in Niger, resulting in the destruction of more than 70 churches and the killing of an undetermined number of people, have been strongly condemned by the World Council of Churches (WCC).
These events have come as repercussions following the recent Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris and the 'Je suis Charlie' campaign in support of the controversial French weekly publication.
An official WCC statement issued on 22 January 2015 reads: "The WCC is grateful for the strong condemnation by the government of Niger of these attacks. President Mahamadou Issoufou denounced the anti-Christian violence, addressing his fellow citizens in these words, 'What have the Christians of Niger done to deserve this? Where have they wronged you?'"
The statement also notes that Niger is a "predominantly Muslim country but one with a reputation of relative tolerance towards its Christian minority", also stating that "over the past few years there has been a growing campaign of radicalisation."
The WCC also showed appreciation for remarks made on a BBC radio broadcast by the Christian pastor Sani Nomao, "I call on every single believer in Niger to forgive and forget, to love Muslims with all their heart, to keep up the faith, to love Christ like never before."

This bulletin contains information about the EFAC2019, please read it carefully.
#01 Please put me in same group as…
Yes how nice if we could make this wish come through. There are rules about how groups are composed, on the starting day it is up to the discretion of the field captain (me) and for the following days it will depend on the ranking in your division/style. In general; styles shoot on the same range, exception is cub, all cubs shoot on the same range, to accommodate the requirement for a adult companion. Bottomline, don't be disappointed if we are not able to fulfill your request.
#02 Scorecard
Scorecard, seems a never ending story, after consultation with several knowledgeable people we determined a view on the rules. The turmoil around this view did not end, and have put this issue on the table during the congress in Warsaw (IFAA Europe meeting). The scorecard rule will be interpreted as follows: In order to participate at EFAC2019 you need a IFAA Scorecard, containing at least two scores. This proofs knowledge about the rules, if you want to start in B or C class, you need two FIELD scores.
#03 CUBs need assistance!
We are looking for adults to accompany the cub groups during the 5 competition days. The IFAA recognizes the responsibility for the very young participants, and requires every group of 4 cubs to have an adult as team-captain who basically will assist the archers (scoring, safety etc) If you are interested (or know somebody) please contact us. We will enlist you as volunteer (food, shirt etc), minimal availability is 1 day.
#04 Participants list on website
Ever since we published the first list of participants, people asked for a tool to search on several elements. Took a lot of time to realize (to be honest other priorities), but now we have one. Have a look at EFAC Participants One of the priorities was to absorb the rules changes ie introducing the Senior division.
#05 Style, limitations are lifted
Starting 2019, the book of rules has changed regarding style.
All style are now open for all divisions, meaning:
Cub can start in Bowhunter Recurve/Compound, Bowhunter Limited/Unlimited Historical Bow open for Senior, Veterans, Young Adult, Junior, Cub
#06 Revised maximum of participants, Waiting list
To start with the waiting list, it's empty and no longer maintained. We have a very straight forward registration process, and the waiting list was a big hurdle in the sense that it took far more effort to manage a small list than anticipated. We resolved it by agreeing with IFAA to add 40 additional places to our tournament (from 560 to 600), offering the first pick to waiting list, and then re-opening the standard registration. Raising capacity to 600 implies max 120 archers on every range, that will add 2 waiting positions to ever 28 targets. We will arrange for a sufficient spot to wait.
#07 Mailing Quality registration
Every now and then we mail participants with questions about their registration, our aim is to prevent any possible change during the registration process on-site in August. We do not expect a perfect register, but strive anyway. So if you get a mail, please read it carefully and follow the instructions.
#08 Fletcher Hotels
For those who are looking for hotel lodging, we have reached an agreement with Fletcher Hotels, Hotel-Restaurant Doorwerth-Arnhem is the nearest hotel to the venue. Fletcher Hotels offers 5 hotels.
#09 Competitions (CON and Team)
We received inquiry about organizing the Champion of Nations competition during the EFAC, we will NOT accommodate this competition (as allowed by book of rules p86). We will organize the team competition, procedure to be published later
#10 Tournament Time Schedule
IFAA has decided (in October 2018) that it is not desired to have banquette, ceremony and closing all at the end of the last competition day. Allowing more time to process scores, publish/check results will add quality to the closing stage of the tournament. But everything has a price, this will mean that the tournament will close on Saturday early afternoon, and some participants have notified us about travel plans which do not allow to stay beyond early Saturday.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and will do everything to get your medal to you, but this is what is it.
#11 Rudeness & language
In conjunction with the remark about quality of registration, I urge you to be polite and relaxed , most of us are not native speakers in English, but that's never an excuse to be rude. It's not a living it's a hobby, You can mail me in Dutch, English or German, and I will answer in Dutch or English.

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14).
When you confessed the Lordship of Jesus over your life, you were immediately catapulted into the Kingdom of God's dear Son; into a life of triumph. Sadly, many don't understand this glorious truth and as a result, live below their calling. They're up today, and down tomorrow; and to them, "Such is life: you win some, and you lose some." But that's not consistent with the life we have in Christ; we don't win sometimes, and lose sometimes; we win all the time! It's a life of continuous triumph.
Observe our opening verse again; it says, "… thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ…"; not sometimes, but always. What a life! Christianity is not a religion; it's the life of God lived out through you; it's divinity at work in humanity. You can't have this mentality about Christianity, and be beaten down in life. Until you come to know the Christian life beyond the facade of religion, all you'd have is the religiosity of Christian principles; and that's not good enough.
You need the understanding of your victorious life in Christ; you need to have the revelation of the triumphant, exultant life of the supernatural that you've been called to live. Such an understanding will put springs in your steps. To know that you have the very nature of God in your human spirit and His pulsating life in every fibre of your being will change your perception in life.
As one who's born again, become conscious of who you are and what you have in Christ. You're different from the rest of the world; you have the God-life, which makes you one with Him. With that life working in you, sickness, disease and infirmity of the body shouldn't have power over you, likewise sin. Sin is the cause of sickness, and Romans 6:14 says, "For sin shall not have dominion over you…." If sin, which is the parent of sickness, has no power over you anymore, by virtue of the pulsating, triumphant life in Christ, then sickness, which is the offspring of sin, shouldn't have any power over you. Halleluiah!
I'm a victor in Christ Jesus. I'm more than a conqueror. I function by the wisdom of God, and in the dominion of the Spirit over every situation! I live the triumphant life in Christ today, as I recognize and put to work my authority in Christ! Glory to God!

Victoria is someone I am so grateful to have met and look forward to catching up with whenever we have a chance. She is an incredible achiever, who in her early twenties is Head of Data in the UK for one of the largest FMCG companies in the world, a Tennis success playing competitively for Sutton on Derwent, and overall one of the kindest and most positive people I have had the good fortune to spend a lot of time with.
Even with all the career and sporting success, the main things Victoria really sees as her achievements and values are how committed, caring and loyal she is to her family, friends and partner. She loves to support her other-half every weekend when he plays Rugby, enjoys nothing more than family time over good food, and likes to see the best in all situations.
This is what I think makes her so extraordinary. She has a first degree in Law, owns a beautiful home, has an incredible career under her belt already, and yet she reports her top achievement as being fun-loving and caring.
She is a true girl boss, true friend and a beacon of positivity. I hope that from this interview you take away one main thing from Victoria. Always, no matter what, try to remain positive and look on the bright side. I hope by doing this, you can be as content as she is.
So here are her answers to my twelve questions:
What makes you happy?
To be honest, it's really my friends and family. If I can see people I love being happy, and I can make them happy myself, it makes me happier overall.
I get a lot of happiness from job satisfaction, and like to work hard to achieve and do my best.
However I also get a lot of happiness out of the little every day things which are often overlooked, like when someone leaves a leftover coin in a trolley, or karma is on your side. I get just as excited about these smaller things as the big moments in life.
What book had the biggest impact on your life?
Harry Potter Series
This book has been a big part of my life for a long time, and yet I find it hard to encapsulate why it's so important when asked. I think it's because I love the whole premise and how JK Rowling came up with the story. She originally came up with the concept whilst at school and was told by professors and teachers that it wouldn't be a success and she needed to come up with something more 'realistic'.
She proved them all wrong, and wrote such a good series about how at the end of the day, good always overcomes evil.
What quote, or saying, do you live by?
I would say that a main one I try to live by is
Everything Happens For A Reason
I think that this helps you put everything into perspective. It puts a positive slant on everything no matter how bad it may feel at the time.
What inspires you?
Honestly so many people. I know this might sound cheesy but I have to say you! As well as my colleagues, family, friends and all for different reasons.
Some of them inspire me professionally, some with their outlooks on life, others for their sporting and career achievements, and some with how ambitious and driven they are. It's such a broad range.
What are your top three priorities?
- Happiness
To be honest I don't really know what the other two are as for me, this is the main and only one. I might need to come back to you but happiness for me is number one and the main thing I try to live by.
What's the biggest misconception about you?
I would like to think I am quite an easy person to read, and so there's not really many. If I had to chose one however it would be that I sometimes get the impression that people think I have my life put together more than I actually do.
People from the outside think I might have everything in order and put together from what I share on social media. The reality is though, what we put online is the best view of ourselves and what is happening and you only really see the good a lot of the time. It can be really misconceiving.
I share when I am travelling for work, doing unusual things with my career, going to good places for dinner but it's not the day to day reality, it's not everything, and we all seem to forget that a lot. It's important that we remember our online self is our best self, and so it's probably the same for other people too.
What two purchases have you made this year that you really value / had most impact?
- An assault bike. I purchased this for Tom (Victoria's Boyfriend) and it's the most expensive material thing I have ever bought apart from my car. I would never really spend that much on myself but I did for Tom as it made him really happy. Plus, now he has a bit of a gym in the garage, he is home more, so that works for me too!
- I am not much of a spender really, so the second one would need to be my holiday to Italy this year. It was the first time I have been to Italy and it was amazing.
Top tips for someone who wants to do what you do?
Believe in yourself, have as much faith in yourself as you have in others. I don't think people often think enough of themselves or their abilities and therefore worry too much.
Work hard, ask loads of questions, and build strong networks and relationships. Speaking to people is really important and I can't stress that enough. For me I have found in my career it is as much what you know, as who you know.
People are happy to help you, you just need to ask!
What are you most proud of?
To be honest it's that I am actually really content. I am personally happy with my relationship, the life I have built and my own home, as well as professionally being happy with my career and job.
An unusual habit of yours?
I have to have something in my hands. For someone who doesn't like movement, that could be really annoying but I am a pen mover, clicker or tapper. I am sure Tom could think of many more though!
What do you do every single day?
Try to think positively
Eat good food
Think everyday about exercising although it doesn't always happen every day!
Try to just do my best.
Thanks Victoria. Honestly your answers have been incredibly insightful and my key takeaway from this is just how much you work to look on the positive side of life. I think this is why you have happiness as such a key priority, and you overall feel very content with your day to day.
You have achieved so much and you have done so whilst remaining positive and keeping a good focus on what matters to you. I think we could all learn a lot from you about putting things into perspective, looking on the bright side, and taking things day to day.
Her Key Advice:
- Network, ask questions and speak to people. You never know what you can find out or discover.
- Think positively.
- Everything happens for a reason.
- Do your best, try hard, and the rest will fall into place.
- Good always prevails over evil.
If you want to follow Victoria and her sporting, career and life successes, you can find her on Instagram (just try and not be envious of all the amazing food she posts!)

1 - Top tip: Booking early pays off
Rail travel follows the same principle as air travel: things can get very expensive when you book at the last minute. That's why we always advise you to book as early as possible, as that way you have the best chance of finding the cheapest tickets for your next train journey.
What counts as "early booking"?
- 6 months ahead of your trip: for Eurostar and ICE
- 4 months in advance: for Thalys and TGV Lyria
- 3 months before departure: for TGV® Brussels-France and TGV® travel within France
2 - Travel outside peak times
Most people take trips or start their holidays at the weekend – but there are far fewer cheap train fares available at this time. So if you're flexible it's definitely worth travelling on weekdays, during the afternoon or outside the school holidays.
3 - Fare calendar for Thalys and Eurostar journeys
If you want to compare prices for your next journey on Thalys or Eurostar, you can use our practical fare calendar, displaying at one glance on which days the cheapest train tickets are available.
4 - Use your discount and loyalty cards
Are you the proud owner of a loyalty card or a discount card for train travel? That's great! Make sure you remember to enter your card number every time you make a booking. At the very start of our booking process you have the option to select Belgian and international cards next to the entry for each passenger.
Cards we accept include: Railplus; Thalys ThePass; Enfant+, Jeune, Senior+ and Week-end cards issued by SNCF; and the BahnCard issued by Deutsche Bahn.
5 - Travel in a group
Many railway companies offer discounts when you travel in a group, both for small groups and families. The Thalys "Minigroup" Fare offers lower prices as your group size increases (for 3 to 5 adults). And with the TGV® "Tribu" offer, groups of four people travel for the price of three (the offer applies to groups of 4 to 7 people).
Deutsche Bahn offers great fares for families in particular: children under 15 travel for free in Germany when accompanied by their parents or grandparents.
6 - Take advantage of our special offers
All international rail companies regularly provide special offers, such as particularly cheap fare promotions or increased availability for the lowest fares.
Subscribe to our newsletter to hear about the latest bargains. We will also let you know when the summer and winter seasons for specific trains are available for booking. After all, planning ahead pays off. :-)
7 - Enjoy the Interrail rail Passes
The Interrail Pass, which allows you to travel in 30 European countries, is generally known as a youth product. But did you know this Pass is in fact available for all age groups? Thanks to its advantageous fares for youngsters, families (children travel free of charge) and seniors, Interrail makes it possible to travel across Europe by train at an economical price.

Are You Looking To Hire An Estate Sale Organizer? Glean Information By Attending One Of Their Sales
If a loved one has recently passed away, they may have left behind a house full of items. In some cases, these items may be valuable. But if no one in your family wants the items or you all have made a decision to sell off the items in the home, you may be looking to hire an estate sale organizer to help sell these items for top dollar. When you are looking to hire a company, it is recommended that you visit one of the estate sales that they are hosting. You may find yourself wondering why and what you can learn by attending. Here are a few key pieces of information you can glean by attending an estate sale organizers estate sale before hiring them.
How Organized the Sale is
When you attend an estate sale that the organizer is putting on, you will be able to tell how organized the sale is. Do they have similar items grouped together to make it easy for buyers? Are items clearly marked? Are there employees walking around helping individuals? If the estate sale looks like a chaotic mess or like there is no order, people may get frustrated and leave. An organized sale makes it easier for buyers, which can boost sales.
How Slow or Busy it Is
Another key bit of information you can glean by attending an estate sale hosted by an organizer you are considering is how much foot traffic they have. If the estate sale is completely dead, they may not be advertising the sale in the right places or spending enough on advertising. This can affect how quickly items move and how much you make from the sale. Always look for an organizer who knows how to advertise the sale and draw people in.
How Are Valuable Items Watched Over
Lastly, when you are visiting an estate sale, pay close attention to how valuable items, such as jewelry, antiques, or electronics are watched over. If the items are left unmonitored, they may be easily stolen. After losing your loved one, you don't want to lose their possessions as well. High value items should either be locked in a tabletop case or carefully watched by employees.
When you are looking to hire an estate sale organizer, there are many factors to consider. You need to consider what they charge in commission, how much expertise they have and how much time they need to arrange an estate sale. In addition to this, you will want to attend one of their sales to see how things are run. This will provide you with key information about how organized the sale is, how many people they have present and how well employees watch over valuable items.

By Keri Swan
We've got some oldies but goodies PLUS a couple of brand new events to highlight this month. Festivals, outdoor concerts, outdoor plays, outdoor everything happens in the summer. So, get your calendar out and put your FOMO to rest.
Ice Cream Festival- First Year
Saturday, June 15
$25 (for Grand Event)
It so happens that the Grand Tasting Event of the Ice Cream Festival is on the same big day as Meridian Dairy Days. If your belly disagrees entirely with dairy, you might have better luck at JUMP. There will be alternatives to the traditional ice cream there. Facebook shows 12K people interested in ice cream festival and I'm not surprised. I interviewed two people this week who admitted they cannot resist this frozen dessert.
The question is, are you willing to pay $25/person for the Grand Tasting Event? Sounds like a great idea for a date. Can someone please do this for chocolate, too?
To be clear, there are several days' worth of "events" all over the Treasure Valley to go along with the festival. Mostly, local chefs are offering special ice creams to celebrate. The ones that caught my eye are..
• A collaboration between C4 Creamery and Bacon From 11AM-2PM on Sunday June 2nd after you buy your meal at Bacon you'll be able to enjoy a free sample of C4 Creamery's rolled ice cream.
• A 30 minute Pedals and Ice Cream ride
Meridian Dairy Days (the 90th Year!) Wow.
June 19-22
Meridian, Idaho- Near Storey Park and Meridian Speedway
Most events free
• Dairy Princess Pageant
• 5K Fun Run
• Arts/Craft Fair
• Monster Trucks at Meridian Speedway
• Pancake Feed
• Petting Zoo
• Amusement Rides ($22 for wristband online), $30 on site.
• Fireworks on Saturday night
• Parade Saturday night at 6pm
Things that I think SHOULD be at Dairy Days but are not yet:
• Everyone in the parade rides on Holsteins while passing out chocolate milk
• A Cow dung "chips" throwing contests
• Cow pie bingo is played as a game
• Cow milking contests
• Cookies and milk dunking experiments
• Milk mustache model search
Boise Music Festival — 10th Annual
Saturday, June 22
Expo Idaho
$25 and up
This really isn't my thing, but I can endorse it because this beautiful human is performing:
Tickets are $25
Variety of genres: acoustic, pop, country, bluegrass, folk, rock, hip-hop and alternative
Eagle Rodeo
June 6-8th
New Eagle Rodeo Grounds at Avimor
Fierce ladies with ponytails and tough guys with instinctual know-how are what rodeos are made of. I grew up in a small Idaho town, but definitely not on a farm. However, I was around those who did and I know that laziness and has no place on a farm or ranch. They are tough people and I tend to like them. My mom did put me in the mutton bustin' contest at age 6. I didn't win the trophy, but I did begin to love cowboy boots. So, being a rodeo spectator suits me just fine.
The Eagle Rodeo is now located off Hwy55 north of Avimor village. All the best events seem to be represented: Saddle Bronc, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding, Barrel Racing, mutton busting.
Best things about any rodeo: Cowboy Hats, Cowboy style, Clowns, the mixed smell of dirt, beer and leather.
Boise Water Lantern Festival - 1st year
Saturday, June 22
Julia Davis Park
How it works: You buy a lantern ($25-$40), pick it up at the event, decorate it with included markers, enjoy food trucks/friends/family, and finally, at dusk, light the lanterns and launch them on the water. It's intended to be a symbol of something internal— "It is a very emotional experience as you write down some of your hopes and dreams, or a message to a loved one, and then sending it out into the water. It's a moment of beauty, connection, and healing."
Emmett Cherry Festival — 84 Years!
June 12-15
Emmett, Idaho
No cost to enter, no admission or gate fees
Free daily entertainment and nightly concerts
Parade and children's parade
Free entry in to all contests
And, of course, the fun is always Free For All!
My favorite event has to be the Pit Spitting Contest and Cherry Pie Contest. As is stated in their contest's application, "In the event of a tie, participants will square off in a Cherry Dive *! *Cherry Dive - No hands! The first person to find the cherry with their face in a plate of whipped cream and pull it up with their teeth by the stem is the official winner!"
Goin' for Owen
Friday, June 21
Old Timer's Shelter at Ann Morrison Park
Austin and Stuart Watson are the parents of a very special boy named Owen. Owen lives with Dravet Syndrome which means he has a rare form of epilepsy. He is simply plagued with seizures. Goin' for Owen is how his family raises funds to help research and families who live with it. I can't think of a better reason to run around.
You'll find some great stuff at their silent auction, or you can eat Wednesday, June 19th at the Spaghetti Feed. Watch Larry Gebert interview Austin on KTVB Channel 7 June 19th.
Paint a Bowl for the Idaho Foodbank
June 8, 12-6pm
A Way with Clay (near Fairview and Eagle)
This is the lesser known painting event of the year and SO perfect as many people have more time now. You can choose between $14 and $18 bowls at the new pottery painting studio called A Way with Clay. They have all the of supplies needed to paint a bowl of your choice, which will then be donated to The Idaho Foodbank's fundraiser. Please purchase your tickets and select which bowl and time so we can be prepared for when you come and paint with us.
Learn more about painting the bowl >>
If you're better at eating ice cream than painting, you should come back to Big Al's on July 21st and buy a bowl full of ice cream.
Learn more about eating ice cream>>
Stargaze at Bruneau Dunes State Park
Every Friday through the summer
Bruneau Sand Dunes
What to know before you go:
• Check out the map and know that you'll be driving through some dark isolated desert roads.
• Know the weather— you cannot view a planet, nebula, or a galaxy through the "Obsession" 25-inch Newtonian Reflector telescope if the clouds are going to be in the way.
• Know the schedule. It changes monthly because our sunset times change through the summer. Welcome to the 42nd parallel!
•Bring mosquito repellent. Depending on the timing, they are quite possibly the hungriest insects in the state.
• It's fun to go early and play on the dunes. They are a good workout and a fun backdrop for summer photos.
Boise Front Race
June 29th
Bogus Basin
Even though we have a hearty list of trails to run in the area, we don't have a lot of races. Likely because it's a more difficult set up and fewer runners take the time to get to trails to run. Even though it's obviously far far superior. Here's a great race for the following reasons:
1) As it's HEATING up, you get cooler temps at 5000 feet.
2) You get to run through trees and see awesome views.
3) There are port-a-potties midway.
4) Your cheering section has a comfortable, fun place to hang out while you run and while you're at Bogus, you can enjoy lunch and/or a ride to the top of deer point.
5) The course has changed a few times, but you can choose between 5 and 10 mile distances.
June 21
Bogus Basin
This 2-day festival, with shuttle service from Boise available, will have on-site camping along with summer time activities. Tickets for Bogus Fest go on sale Friday, December 14 at 10am with tickets starting at $49.00. Bogus Fest is in an All Ages festival. Children 5 and under receive free admittance.
