Gone are the days when a trucker settles down to an uninterrupted 700-mile haul on a full tank of diesel, with country music blaring from the radio and an occasional CB radio conversation.
IP-enabled trucking now gives headquarters almost on-the-spot visibility into the ride -- and this is paying dividends for logistics providers, their customers, and their drivers.
Technological adoption is spurred, in part, by government mandates. Ordered by regulators to demonstrate progress in their green initiatives, companies need tools to monitor and manage sustainability. Environmental changes can be slow to impact internal operations, but organizations often draw from reports on reduced carbon footprints from their transportation providers to beef up their own report cards -- and, thereby, earn passing grades.
"We measure our carbon footprint, and have established target goals for improvement," said Geoff Muessig, Pitt Ohio's chief marketing officer and executive vice president, told me. "This carbon footprint is comprised of 12 percent infrastructure carbon and 88 percent rolling stock [trucking] carbon, so the focus over the past five years has been on improving the fuel efficiency of our fleet."
Pitt Ohio and other logistics providers use IP-enabled tracking and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to monitor the performance of trucking fleets, to improve safety, and to maintain the quality of the goods they are transporting.
For example, major carriers now use route mapping to determine the most fuel- and time-efficient routes for deliveries, and then use GPS over Internet technology to track the progress of trucks on routes, whether deliveries are on time, and even the rate of each truck's fuel consumption. Transporters such as United Parcel Service (UPS) use IoT trackers that are hard-wired into delivery trucks. Companies also use IoT sensors to monitor the performance of brakes, engines, and other parts to determine which drivers are doing the best job with respect to safety, speed, and fuel efficiency.
Auto part suppliers in particular are trying to reduce their brick-and-mortar distribution center footprints and the amount of stock they carry by using in-field truck fleets with "moving inventories." If a truck covering a certain territory does not have a particular part for a customer, it can quickly communicate via mobile IP to another truck in the fleet that has the part on board -- and it is then quickly dispatched to fill the order. These IP-connected trucks also process orders in real time to create a centralized inventory database that is never out of date.
For their part, food and beverage companies are tracking highly perishable produce, from the time it is picked in the field to the time it is stocked on grocery shelves. Each lot is tagged and monitored, enabling producers to trace back food sourcing in the event of contamination and recall. When the produce is trucked, food freshness is further enhanced with the assistance of IoT sensors on the truck that monitor refrigeration, humidity, and other factors to ensure that the goods being transported are at optimal environmental conditions to prevent or retard spoilage. Using mobile IP-enabled communications, these trucks can quickly change routes if necessary. In other words, a truck bound for Atlanta with a load of tomatoes from California can be redirected en route to Washington, D.C., if an unforeseen spike in demand occurs there.
Trucking is fast becoming a highly sophisticated logistics operation with the help of IP-based technologies that monitor and track everything -- from truck and driver performance to route execution and the health of goods. This comes at a time when rail is taking over many of the old long haul routes because trains are cheaper and more fuel efficient, and there is a shortage of truck drivers because fewer people are opting for a lifestyle that keeps them on the road and away from home. IP communications help combat the isolation -- while new IoT sensor technology makes positive inroads into on-the-road safety and customer satisfaction when the goods arrive fresh, secure, and on time.

I never really thought about the trucking industry getting competition from rail. It makes all the sense in the world, just something that never entered this head. Kudos to the trucking companies for using IP technology to deliver a better product. Anything that helps get the item to it's destination quicker is key.
Fewer want to become truckers, Alison.
At issue is they don't want to be away from home.
To compensate, many truck cos. are starting to run shorter "tag team" routes--where a driver drives 250 miles one way (and back) in a day. Then, another "relay" driver does the aame thing as the route continues.
Maybe the driver shortage will be filled by autonomous vehicles... Robots don't feel boredom and don't need bathroom breaks.
Yes, I've heard that, too, Mary. And we know that even hard-hit USPS' package delivery service is doing well in an era of online ordering. With the driver shortage, is it that truck companies need to hire more drivers or that fewer people want to become truckers?
I guess as long as the rewards far outweigh the risks then it might not only be a costs-leading implementation.
There are obviously some problems in this area.
Almost every trucking company I talk with says that they can't find enough drivers.
I would suspect trucking firms' use of tech will certainly help their bottom line in the near and far term. I wonder though how it affects the paychecks of the drivers.
With the second by second monitoring possible, and the ability to compare driver to driver rather easily, it would be easy to put some stiff demands on drivers to improve the company bottom line.
I've heard from a few drivers who are now complaining about the low actual wages earned considering the 'down' time encountered in loading and unloading, and waiting time. What seems like a good per mile earning is eaten away by the time not driving.
Now, if tech can improve the wait times, maybe drivers will benefit, but it doesn't seem to be helping from the drivers who are speaking out.
Most definitely.
Many companies are using trucking to help them arrive at their sustainability goals.
Could this lead to more cost savings if the proposed carbon sale comes into effect? Ceratinly there has tobe greaterrewards other than just rewarding safe drivers.

Did you know, that the vast majority of small businesses are one-man shows? And, it's no wonder. Managing employees can be a challenge. You've undoubtedly heard many horror stories about late, rude, or lazy employees. But, just because those are the stories that get circulated, doesn't mean all (or even most) employees are inadequate.
Good management can sometimes mean the difference between having poor, satisfactory, and phenomenal employees. Here are some ideas for encouraging employee excellence:

The densely packed skyscrapers along this busy highway thin out slightly through New Dubai, a residential and commercial zone of malls, golf courses, art galleries and nightspots. The green expanses of Safa Park are popular with local families while the Mall of the Emirates has an indoor ski slope. Further south, the Golf and Diamond Park offers guided factory tours. Off Intersection 5, Dubai Marina is surrounded by luxury developments.

"Nice Hotel very close to The Mall of the Emirates"
This Hotel Apartments suited our purposes - a family of 4: Mother, Father, and two Teenagers; a very good sized, two-bedroom apartment. The staff were very welcoming and handled any problems very well. For example, our apartment was not ready when we arrived; they checked us in, apologised and provided us a complimentary lunch in the hotel restaurant. […] Oh yes, it is very near the Sharaf DG metro station, within walking distance of the Mall of The Emirates, and a stone's throw from the Sheikh Zayed Road. There is also a cash machine very nearby (just across the road at the Holiday Inn) and, for those that like food of this type, there is a SUBWAY ... there are other restaurants in the vicinity. For me a very good location away from the very busy Dubai Mall (Burj Khalifa) area. We were a bit disappointed that they had not put enough slipper and dressing gowns in the room - they put two when they knew that four people were arriving. I gave them the feedback and so, hopefully, no one else will have to ask for extra slipper and gowns. The only thing to be aware of: The Lexus cars that park outside the hotel, which you will be encouraged to take as a 'taxi' - don't; the yellow taxis are plentiful and excellent in comfort and your pocket, too. Unless it is too hot to do so, I would encourage anyone going to Dubai Mall or Burj Khalifa or any area where the metro goes to walk to the nearest metro station (Sharaf DG) and go by metro - very clean, very cheap compared to taxis. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Name on Hotel is Donatello NOT Coral Boutique Hotel/Apartments as shown on my Expedia Resevation! Cab drivers could not find it by either Name and had to call for directions. I had to show one driver how to find it myself! Staff seemed to be inexperienced and confused at how to do thier jobs and that caused confusion on booking Tours of the area and […] collecting payments for same leading to delays. Then on departure I was quoted a price for a cab to the Airport (6:30 AM departure) but when the Cab arrived the Hotel Staff (not the Cab) wanted a 50% addition!

"Excellent location"
The hotel wasn't easy to find on arrival as it had changed its name. It would have helped if Expedia had notified us of this. The twin beds we had requested were not provided. Eventually, a single bed was added to the room but there was no apology. The description failed to mention that this particular junior suite (room 213) did not have any external […] windows, only windows overlooking the breakfast room. Consequently it was always dark in the rooms. Also, there was no mention that this is a 'dry' hotel. However, the accommodation was very spacious and very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The roof top pool was very pleasant. Very good location. I would definitely stay there again. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Arrived earlier than the check in time.

As soon as we stepped in the room we were like wow... It was clean no smell n no dust unlike our previous hotel in al barsha. Staff was […] nice. Room service person Tariq was amazing... Very polite n helpful. Ppl at reception were also helpful n polite... We didnt order much from the hotel menu during our stay of two weeks here since Many good restaurants are in the area with free delivery.. My wife ordered breakfast couple of times n said it was good... Pool is good n clean...the only thing is there are never enough towels at the pool area... Couple of times I had to walk wet to my room with my 3 yrs old son... Hotel is worth the money and we enjoyed our stay... Good for family stay.... 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Fantastic Value and Good Location"
What a great place for the money! The whole place was very clean and well kept. I had the smallest room available and it was huge. Separate bedroom with good mattress and plenty of pillows. Also had a desk, TV and safe in the Bedroom. Kitchen was large with stove, full sized refrigerator, microwave, stove, hot water maker, toaster, kitchen utensils, […] pots and pans, dining room table and clothes washing machine (no dryer). Living room had big screen TV with DVD player. My room did not have a mini bar, but supplies for making coffee and tea were kept full. No alcohol or bar in this hotel. Nice small pool area. I did not use the spa, massage services or health club. Location: Close to Metro Station (5 minute walk) and Mall of Emirates (10 minute walk). Several good restaurants nearby, my favorite was the Food and Drink Restaurant, about a block away by the Holiday Inn Express (the best food after 5:30 PM). Food: Breakfast Buffet was rather weak for $10 USD. Ordered room service once and it was rather tasteless. Your are better off ordering food for delivery from the several close restaurants. Internet: Poor WIFI in the room, but there was a hardwire connection I used for better speed. Overall: I will use this hotel again for my next trip to Dubai. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Not a 5 Star, just an average hotel"
The apartment is well sized, big living room, nice kitchen, and bedroom. For the most part, the staff is nice, but some don't seem to make the effort to accommodate your needs. The place is very clean and well kept. However... We are paying a moderate price for 2 adults and 1 child and yet the child has to sleep on the uncomfortable coach cushions, […] otherwise we would be charged AED 675.00 (~ USD 200) for an extra mattress. Nickel-n-diming is not something you'll usually see on a 5 star. I'm also disappointed that the dvd player barely functions, the image is missing the 'blue' color and the remote is precarious. If you're staying on a single bedroom unit, don't expect a good view, as all of these units face buildings in very close proximity. The pool is nice and the gym is basic. Therefore this is an average hotel, but far from a five star. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

fully equipped apartment with high quality finish. I spent a month 'living' there and had no cause for complaint at all during my stay. The staff were courteous and helpful, and the location is 150m from the mall of the emirates so really handy. it's not downtown or at the Marina, but both areas areonly 10 minutes in a cheap taxi, or perhaps 20 minutes […] om the metro. The beach is a short taxi ride away too, cost 10-15 aed to the burj al arab/ jumeirah beach. The hotel is 'dry' but there is a sports bar in the holiday inn opposite if you really need a beer. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great value at Dubai"
Knowing the high hotel prices in Dubai, I was greatly surprised at quality/value of this hotel! The location is great; 1 block away from the mall and short taxi drive to the marina. The room studio was big enough for 4 people with 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen. Clean and great middleeastern breakfast! The only down sides are the quality of the matress […] (very basic) and the view from all windows is blocked by a gray wall, It was hard for me to tell day from night just looking at the window.

"Great hotel and an affordable way to stay in Dubai."
So it may not be the legendary Burj Al Arab that may ask for like a thousand bucks per night...but the Coral Boutique Hotel Apartments is still a great hotel for a bargain price. It was centrally located, so I was able to go eat at the Burj Al Arab's restaurant with a short cab ride and was also able to walk to the Mall of Emirates in just a few minutes. […] The Coral staff were friendly, the rooms were huge (compared to other major city hotels), and I enjoyed my stay with no issues. The roof-top pool was nice and the front desk employees were always accommodating. I really can't complain about this hotel and if the price is still right in the future...I will most definitely come back. It's thanks to this hotel that made my stay in Dubai affordable. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"Consider It My Home Away From Home"
I travel through Dubai every two or three months, and i have to say, that Coral Boutique Hotel Apartments is outstanding. I tend to stay at a lot of 5 star hotels (whenever i pass through), but Coral Boutique offers you an extremely pleasant environment to retreat to after a long day of touring and shopping that you just can't get at a "Metropolitan […] Palace" or "Movenpick". The more important factor being that everyone there makes you feel as though you're at home. The staff was very friendly and efficient when it came to anything i needed. The general location is great. Although, you can't see the Emirates Mall "fountain show" (as stated in the description). The hotel itself is always kept in the most pristine of conditions and everyone is eager to lend a helping hand (whether it be in regards to direction, shopping tips, or nightlife). I personally will be staying at The Coral Boutique Hotel Apartments every time i pass through Dubai. I give this hotel two thumbs up. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

On the + side: Spacious well equipped rooms, good cleaning. Quiet. On the neutral side: Staff generally not very interested in you, but polite. Do not count on getting useful infoabout Dubai from them other than the pure essencials. Do not buy their tour to the "sail" Hotel, they basically charge you 150 Dirhams for a trip in an old Toyota, rather […] order from the "Sail" directly. Hotel surroundings: Not good, not bad: Unfinnished building on the neighboring lot. On the negative side I have to say that the Hotel seemed a little over the top, veary. Do not think it has been freshened up the later years, pictures on the website do not reflect this. To summarize: Good hotel for youth, ok hotel for people on a budget. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Lige ved Mall of Emirates"
Vi boede tæt på strand, indkøbsmuligheder og The Walk/Marinaen. Kun 300 meter til Mall of Emirates, hvilket var godt når vi skulle handle. Vi ventede ofte længe på en stor taxa da vi var 5 personer afsted og skulle have en stor bil. Personalet manglede at smile, der manglede meget køkkenudstyr for at vi overhovedet kunne lave mad, ingen badekåbe eller […] sutsko ved ankomst men det blev leveret da vi bad om det. Vi skulle henvende os mange gange for at få køkken udstyr når vi manglede noget. Køkkenet var ikke rengjort ordentligt og opvasken som personalet stod for, var ofter under al kritik. Belysningen på værelserne og i køkkenet var ikke i orden, der kunne sagtens sættes flere watt i pærerne og flere lamper ved sengene, så det var muligt at læse en bog i sengen eller lægge makeup ved bordet i værelset. Der var ingen musik mulighed og tv udvalget og kvaliteten var meget skidt. Det kørte lidt op og ned angående hastigheden for internettet, men generelt virkede det ok. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Coral Boutique in Dubai - value for money"
We got a very good rate on this 5-star hotel, and expected that something had to bring the hotel down, when we arrived - at that rate. But no. Great service and location close to Mall of the Emirates. Very nice and large apartment with great beds. Only flaw was the lack of hot water for two showers. But everything else was just perfect. Nice kitchen […] with fridge, washer etc. Need furniture and a very nice bedroom (including the bed). Good bathroom with shower and tub - and an extra toilet. Hotel standard and service is generally high in Dubai, but at this rate it was impressive. Even a nice, heated pool on the roof top with spa service and finess room as well (medium standard). Very helpful and smiling staff in general. Good breakfast at low rate and helpful concierge. This was a really good experience in a fantastic city. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Canada thistle control
resize text | Tweet |
Curtail is clopyralid plus 2,4-D and is effective on Canada thistle but control tends to be less than from Transline. Recent research at Colorado State University shows that the performance of Curtail to control Canada thistle can be improved when preceded by two or three mowings. When Canada thistle infestations occur in situations where root growth would be restricted, such as habitats with high water tables, begin mowing when it is 12 to 15 inches tall. Repeat mowings at about one month intervals. Apply Curtail at 2 to 3 quarts/acre in October or about one month after the third mowing. Follow this regimen for two consecutive years.
Mechanical control
Mowing hay meadows can be an effective tool if combined with herbicide treatments. Mowing alone is not effective unless conducted at one-month intervals over several growing seasons. Always combine mowing with cultural and chemical control. Mowing at hay cutting stimulates new Canada thistle shoots to develop from its root system.
In irrigated grass hay meadows, fall herbicide treatments that follow mowing can be an effective management system because more Canada thistle foliage is present after cutting to intercept herbicide. Additionally, root nutrient stores decrease after mowing because the plant draws on them to develop new shoots.
If a Canada thistle infestation exists in a field that will be rotated to alfalfa, control the weed before seeding alfalfa. Alfalfa is an effective competitor only after it is established. It will not adequately establish in a well-developed Canada thistle infestation. A Canada thistle management system can start with crop or grass competition combined with herbicides, with the field rotated to alfalfa when the management plan ends.
Additional information about Canada thistle management and control can be found at the Kansas Department of Agriculture web site: http://www.ksda.gov/plant_protection/content/49/cid/895.
Current recommendations on chemical control of Canada thistle in Kansas can be in the 2012 Chemical Weed Control for Field Crops, Pastures, Rangeland, and Noncropland SRP 1063 publication available at your local county extension office or online at: http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/library/crpsl2/SRP1063.pdf.

I would like to get a home security system in the near future, because there was a break in near my house recently, and I found it to be quite unnerving. Previously, I thought that I lived in a very safe location, but that perception has changed a lot over the past week, ever since that break in. Right now, I am trying to find a business that provides adt home security in your area, so that I can look into getting a security system set up in my house at some point within the next couple of weeks.
I would actually like to get the security system as soon as possible, and I would not mind if the security company sent someone over to my house in the morning tomorrow in order to start installing the security system. I do not like the thought of my family being at home without a security system, because you never know when someone could try to break into your house. (more…)

My Vote is Dearborn Michigan at the Ford World Headquarters! We just had our Regional show there and had 623 Registered Cars and over 3000 spectators for a 1 Day event! Had to turn people away due to Judging timelines. The 50th Anniversary Birthday of the Mustang should be brought home to where it all started and where the Mustang was Born!
Mike Rey
dearborn is fine, but not in april.
B'ham was GREAT!!!
Dearborn has no racetrack. Dearborn is boring. I'm not driving 14+ hours just to set up a folding chair and polish the car for three days. If you really wanted to go to a birthplace of Mustang, you should go to San Jose, CA. The Ford plant in SJ produced many Mustangs. However, the Ford plant is now a mega-mall and the nearest racetrack is 2 hours away from San Jose (Infinion or Laguna Seca)
The 50th Anniversary should be a celebration of all things Mustang (showing, cruising, racing, etc) and not just cater to the spit-n-polish crowd.

so go to SJ and see nothing that had anything to do with mustangs.
You're missing my point - Dearborn or SJ are both bad choices. It's like "Field of Dreams " then they say "If you build it they will come". Dearborn is just a dead rust-belt city with little to offer. SJ has gone over to Silicon Valley. We need to go to a place with first class facilities, not some place trying to remember its former glory.

The Street Sweeper
Elliot Perlman - Author
Lamont Williams is a paroled felon looking to turn his life around, working as a street sweeper at a large city hospital and searching for his estranged daughter. Adam Zignelik is a struggling, nontenured professor, paralyzed by looming failure, his life falling apart around him. He discovers a cache of recordings of previously unheard voices reaching out from a horrific past, voices that can both save his career and bring him back to the woman he loves. At the same time, Lamont forges an unlikely friendship with a dying man, who, having lived through those horrors, has a crucially important story to tell and to preserve. The worlds surrounding these two men, their families, their pasts, their potential futures, swirl in and out of history as the forces of the Holocaust, the American civil rights movement, Chicago unions, and New York City racial politics combine in a thrilling cross- generational literary symphony. The acclaimed author of Seven Types of Ambiguity, Elliot Perlman weaves the narratives of Lamont and Adam-and their myriad connected friends, lovers, and families-into an ambitious, masterful depiction of the power that memory has over our lives. Praise for Elliot Perlman's The Street Sweeper "[I]t seems somehow fitting that the author of The Street Sweeper, a wonderfully rich, engaging and multilayered new novel about blacks and Jews in Chicago and New York, would hail from Australia. I've been a fan of Elliot Perlman's work since his 1998 novel Three Dollars. That book and his massive Seven Types of Ambiguity (2004) revealed him to be an author of rare erudition and compassion. But The Street Sweeper is his boldest work yet…" – The Washington Post "The Street Sweeper is an impressive literary achievement, complex in its organization, meticulous in its plotting and deeply satisfying in its emotional payoffs." – The Wall Street Journal "In the best kind of books, there is always that moment when the words on the page swallow the world outside — subway stations fly by, errands go un-run, rational bedtimes are abandoned — and the only goal is to gobble up the next paragraph, and the next, and the next… A towering achievement: a strikingly modern literary novel that brings the ugliest moments of 20th-century history to life, and finds real beauty there." – Entertainment Weekly "As characters interact and fates intertwine, Perlman tells an engaging multi-generational saga witnessing personal histories that heroically endure and survive brutal and horrific racism to become what we know as the history of the Holocaust and the American Civil Rights movement. At his best, Perlman accomplishes this literary feat by evoking remarkable depth and meaning in otherwise commonplace events and characters…. [W]hat is most memorable about this richly woven tale is the lessons about the importance of memory and remembering, and the novel's underlying compassion and sense of history." – USA Today "An epic tale that spans decades and bridges generations while chronicling the predominant chapters of racial persecution perpetrated in the darkest hours of the 20th century… Perlman is a consummate storyteller… This stunning novel works, and matters, because of the expert way Perlman has recorded both the agonized howl of the past and the plaintive echoes of the present." – San Francisco Chronicle "The Street Sweeper connects up its large cast of characters, telling a grim but buoyant story, full of humanity and brave acts. Reading it provides that uncommon thrill in fiction: a philosophical page-turner." – Cleveland Plain Dealer "The Street Sweeper is a big novel in every sense… It's filled with color and characters whose unlikely connection tells the stories of contemporary New York, 1930s Warsaw and 1950s Chicago." – The Forward "Perlman offers an affecting meditation on memory itself, on storytelling as an act of healing." – The Guardian (UK) "An expertly told novel of life in immigrant America--and of the terrible events left behind in the old country." – Kirkus Reviews (STARRED) "Brilliantly makes personal both the Holocaust and the civil rights movement.... A moving and literate page-turner." – Publishers Weekly (STARRED) "Perlman's compulsively readable wrestle-with-evil saga is intimate and monumental, wrenching and cathartic." – Booklist (STARRED) |

At the Tanny Academy of Martial Arts, we teach traditional Taekwondo. We teach the official ITF TaeKwon-Do curriculum developed by General Choi Hong Hi as outlined in the TaeKwon-Do Encyclopedia. Here is a brief overview of our curriculum.
Our training covers the original 24 Chang hon patterns, fundamental movements and techniques, breaking, self defense, and sparring as well as conditioning. Our children, teens and adult ITF Taekwon-do classes are based on the 5 tenets of Taekwon-do:
COURTESY (Ye Ui)
INTEGRITY (Yom Chi)
PERSEVERANCE (In Nae)
SELF CONTROL (Guk Gi)
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT (Baekjul Boolgool)
ITF Taekwon-do was developed by General Choi Hong Hi. The philosophy of the Taekwon-do was largely influenced by oriental philosophers such as Confucius and Lao Tzu, by Buddhism, and by the philosophy of martial arts. Our student creeds reflect the philosophical influence and is the basis of our training:

Pitt: I think that guy did all right. I think he figured it out quite fine. I don't think I need to tell him much.

Ask Oregon Questions & Answers
Topic | |
We are traveling to Portland and would love to take right off and go on a nature excurion. We are considering Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helen's. Can you tell us which you would recommend and why? In both cases, can you recommend a wonderful place to stop for exquisite dining and wining? something we would never find on the East Coast? – Jan M.Mount Saint Helens is going to be pretty much out of the question. Due to the time you have available, the drive is too lengthy for you to enjoy yourself. Most of the visitor center's don't open until May 18th either and the dining options in the area are limited, to say the least. Mount Hood, however, is maybe an hour and a half from the airport, and you would have plenty of time to explore once you get there. Timberline Lodge is definitely something you won't get on the East Coast. They feature Northwest cuisine and an extensive wine list including a large number of Oregon wines. In fact, they have the largest wine list in the state. You can't go wrong there. If you are looking for something even closer with more time to fit some hiking in, try a drive along the historic highway in the Columbia River Gorge. The Tippy Canoe near Troutdale has the best seafood this side of the coast, a great wine list and cocktail menu. If the weather is warm and dry, they have a beautiful outdoor dining area featuring stone tables, fire pits, and patio heaters if it's a little bit chilly. |
Mt Hood & Columbia Gorge, Wine |
My friend and I are planning a motorcycle ride over to the Oregon Coast from Northern Idaho near the end of July. Any roads or towns you would recommend hitting? We would like to spend some time near the ocean and find some good local brews.There's a coveted motorcycle route through the Wallowas on the 39 road (Hell's Canyon Scenic Byway) from Joseph to Halfway—if you have the time. To get to the Wallowas from North Idaho, you'd come through Moscow and Lewiston over highway 82—another epic two-lane roadway—to Enterprise. That's where you'll find Terminal Gravity brewpub, one of the first small crafters in the state and home of a great IPA. (I am a huge fan of their single hop variety double IPAs only available at the brewpub.) If you take the 39 road, you'll end up on Highway 84 in Baker City, where you'll find Barley Browns Brewpub. I also recommend a stop in Pendleton at Prodigal Son Brewery. From there you can continue on I-84 and swing through Hood River and the Double Mountain Brewery before high tailing it to the coast. |
Beer, Eastern Oregon |
We have three kids 5 and under. We want to go on a vacation and check out Oregon, but don't know where to go? We would love some good ideas. We don't mind camping, and we like doing things outdoors, but the kids might only last hiking for a couple of days and then be wiped out. – Sharp FamilyWow… you won't believe the list of family friendly recommendations in the Willamette Valley. Here are some places to check out:
Willamette Valley |
We're interested in renting a home on or near the beach in Oregon for a few weeks this summer. We have kids ages 5, 6, and 12 and are looking for a sandy beach, relaxed quiet community with great fishing, biking and playgrounds. What areas do you suggest? – LauriIn order to enjoy boating and easy docking, you're going to have to find a place that is not oceanfront, but more like a bay, inland lake or river. I'm picturing a few places like that on the Nehalem River, and on the Nestucca River, both in Tillamook County. I just did a quick search and found a few on Mercer Lake, near Florence. But, I don't know of any small, non-touristy communities that are also good for biking and playgrounds — those just don't seem to go together. But I'll bet the kids will think the beach is a pretty good playground. |
Coast |
We're taking a roadtrip from California to Oregon. I would like to do the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway and stay there for a few days to really enjoy it. I would like to stay around the area for 3-4 days, to do some rafting, and definitely hiking and see all the waterfalls. If we can also visit some wineries along the way that would be great. – Priscilla N.I live right on this scenic byway and can attest to its beauty. It's indeed worth a few days of your time. This byway is named for two rivers: the Rogue (in my backyard) and the Umpqua. Of the two, the Rogue is regarded more for its rafting. The Medford Mail Tribune readers picked Noah's River Adventures as their favorite guide service last year in an annual poll. There are many other companies in Jackson and Josephine counties that operate rafting trips. If you're driving Highway 1 up from California, you should take Highway 199 into Oregon, and you will pass right by Grants Pass, a major jumping-off point for river trips and the gateway to the Rogue's Wild and Scenic section. You'll want to do your wine tasting early on, as most wineries on the byway are in the Gold Hill/Sams Valley areas. Del Rio is one of the area's best, just a couple of miles from Gold Hill, where the byway begins. Folin and Cliff Creek cellars and Agate Ridge all are in the Sams Valley area, which surrounds the byway near the Table Rocks. Make sure to stop for a hike on these mesas, locals' favorite hiking trails. Finally, Crater Lake Cellars in Shady Cove is one of the last stops on the area's wine-tasting trail. See the Mail Tribune's complete guide to wine tasting in the region. As far as lodging goes, there is a variety, from hotels and country inns to camping. The Edgewater Inn in Shady Cove has reasonably nice accommodations. Between that town and Diamond Lake, Prospect Hotel is about the only lodging. Additionally, here is a story from the Mail Tribune about a few of the waterfalls on the byway. |
Rafting, Southern Oregon |
Can you offer a couple of Oregon IPA's I must try? – Kevin J.These kinds of questions are always rough to answer, but I'll give it a shot. The trouble is, IPAs are so variable that opinions invariably vary. But you didn't ask me to waffle, so here goes. I personally have three favorites, for different reasons:
Sound good? |
Beer |
If I plan to do the coast ride by myself, what would you recommend to prepare for the trip from North – South on Rt. 101?The Oregon coast is a pretty fantastic stretch of coastline, complete with a ton of off-bike adventures and amenities to make the whole thing enjoyable. Late September/Early October would be a nice time–after the summer rush, but before the weather really starts to get inhospitable to long days of pedaling. I'll say right off I had a hard time finding info on a company that just offers gear shuttling for a ride like yours. There are certainly many companies that offer guided, supported trips, but as far as a shuttle service, this was the only one I found. It comes highly recommended. For lodging, you'll do best to look at your route first, estimate your daily mileage, and focus your searching on the towns you want to stay in. It's worth looking at VRBO.com to see if there are some smaller, private rentals that might be available, since that's always a nice way to go, but can also be impractical for single night stays. Here are some recommendations for coast lodging, dining, and things to see/do. From an overall planning point of view, here are a few great links you might find helpful: Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Bike Routes (note the link to Oregon Coast Bike Route) Great Oregon rides around the state (be sure to look at the resource links) |
Coast, Cycling |
I'm looking for a 5-star place to stay for one night as close as possible to the California border, but I can't seem to find anything.If on I-5, stay in Ashland at the Ashland Creek Inn. Tu Tu Tun in Gold Beach is close to California on the map but a long drive on rural roads. |
Hotel Recommendations, Southern Oregon |
My husband and I are going to go up the Oregon Coast for a vacation. We want to stay in a hotel that is pretty much walk out to the beach. Any suggestions? We are probably going to start in the southern part and travel north.We Pamper Campers mentioned the Fireside in Yachats. That hotel is adjacent to the Overleaf Lodge, which is also quite nice. The Adobe has its own restaurant, which always nice if you don't want to drive around. Be advised, though, that all three Yachats hotels overlook a rocky shelf — beautiful but no long walks on the sand. |
General Travel |
Where is a good place to spot Oregon Redwood trees? Any tips for a weekend getaway to see the trees and maybe an urban area of Oregon?Our region is indeed home to a largely overlooked pocket of redwoods. They are on the extreme south coast near Brookings, just north of the border. This is a very remote area of the state, with no "urban" area anywhere close. You could, however, visit the Rogue Valley by driving east for about two hours on Highway 199 to Grants Pass. Medford is the largest city with about 75,000 population. The surrounding towns of Ashland and Jacksonville are known for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Britt Festivals outdoor concerts, with world-class whitewater rafting on the Rogue River, as well as biking, fishing, wine tasting and world-famous artisan foods. Here's a story published last year in the Mail Tribune newspaper's Joy magazine about a little-known redwoods hike: "A Stroll in the Redwoods." |

What is Circle K all about?
UA Circle K is an international co-ed service organization that is sponsored by the

Are there service hour requirements?
Yes, we encourage you to take part in at least six service hours per month, but the great thing about Circle K is that you can perform service according to how it fits into your schedule. If you're busy one month, take some time to focus on your schoolwork. If you have a slow month, sign up for multiple projects and have a blast!
What types of projects does Circle K perform?
There are numerous service projects each week varying in date, time, and type.

How can I meet more people in Circle K?

There are also large-scale monthly socials such as the club's annual formal and weekend trips in January. In addition, Circle K participates in several intramural sports teams that you can join. Beyond socials, service projects and committee membership are also great ways to meet people within Circle K.
Why is fellowship so important to Circle K?
We know that when you come to the University of Alabama, it can be overwhelming. Circle K works to actively build lasting friendships to create a sense of community. Through our meetings, service projects, and committee events, we strive to make fellowship an integral part of this club.
