It's been a while since I've stumbled upon a band that caught my attention as sharply as has Earl Greyhound. This Brooklyn-based power trio released their debut EP in 2004 via the NYC-based Some Records, going on to release their first album, Soft Targets, on the same label in 2006, shortly after having lost their original drummer, Christopher Bear to his new project Grizzly Bear. Ricc Sheridan replaced Bear, joining original members Matt Whyte (vocals, guitar) and Kamara Thomas (bass, keys, and vocals) to release their sophomore LP Suspicious Package on their own label, Hawk Race Records, in 2010 and an EP entitled Ancient Futures followed later that year. December 18th of 2012 saw the release of their most recent EP, Besides Seasides, their first new music in two years. It also includes four previously unreleased tracks originally recorded in 2003.
Earl Greyhound's sound is a mix of 70′s-something and 90′s-the other rock and roll, spun into a blend that's grounded in soul, but dances inside touches of jazz ~ not to mention the fact that they boast a badass female bassist. They've enjoyed praise from publications such as The New Yorker, SPIN, Rolling Stone, Brooklyn Vegan and Pitchfork, to name a few. Earl Greyhound has toured the US, Canada and Japan, opening for acts such Gov't Mule, Chris Cornell and Saul Williams, and hopefully we'll see more than EP offerings in the near future … and I'm certainly looking forward to that day.
Earl Greyhound performs an acoustic version of their song, 5 Eyes Of Cassandra, from their 2010 LP Suspicious Package.
Here's the music video for Shotgun, also off of 2010′s Suspicious Package.

CARLA resources?
The VAC is a series of web-based learning modules that provides teachers with background information, step-by-step guidance, and many practical resources on developing proficiency-based second language assessments for the classroom.
Why Assess? |
Making informed decisions about learner's progress requires language teachers to gather and interpret information that shows what learners "know and can do." This section shows you how to align your purpose for assessing to methods in test design and use. |
What am I |
Deciding what you want your students to know and do is an essential step in aligning language assessment to standards and instruction. This section shows you how to use the ACTFL K-12 Performance Guidelines for Learners that describe proficiency in classroom contexts and the four skills model, which is also widely used. |
The Modes of |
The Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational modes of communication described in the National Standards* and the ACTFL Performance Guidelines for K-12 Learners present innovative ways to look at assessment. |
Creating an |
Effective assessment supports learning and teaching, rather than simply reporting that learning did or did not occur. This section discusses how you can integrate assessment with instruction by using a variety of formative measures of students' progress towards your class objectives. |
Providing learners with descriptive feedback shows them where and how they can improve. Developing and adapting effective and efficient rubrics, checklists, and scales is an essential component of assessment. |
Research |
This section provides you with information on theory and research related to types of language assessments, considerations in test construction, test-taking strategies, and other issues in language assesment. |
Resources |
This section provides you with links to searchable, annotated bibliographies on assessment, content-based instruction, national standards, Virtual Assessment Center resources, and links to related sites. |

Last Christmas Mona's daughters, granddaughters and great- grandchildren were at our house for opening presents. At one point Neal Phelps was standing on the porch having a smoke and was watching the chickadees at the bird feeder and pecking around on the ground. One chickadee alighted on the steps and was pecking at something tiny. Shiloh, being a bird dog saw the chickadee on the steps, walked over, and while Neal watched, pounced with both front paws on the chickadee! Neal said it wasn't quite a fair matchup – a 100 pound dog vs. a 2 or 3 oz bird!
Last Saturday morning I was dressed for the cold weather with my long underwear, a hoodie sweatshirt and my heavy barn coat when I went into the woods. Just after my first maple tree crashed to the ground, I stood up, chainsaw in hand, when, "Thump," something knocked my hard hat to the ground. I looked all around the tree stump, my saw and around where I stood trying to figure out what had hit me on the hard hat. Then I noticed that my hood was snubbed up tight, and the starter rope handle was almost unmovable. Voila! I knew it had happened again. The ends of the hoodie string had caught on the spinning saw starter reel, yanked the hoodie tight, knocking the hard hat off, feeling like it had been struck by a falling tree limb! I know Bob Lowell will be pleased when I bring in the broken starter spindle!
Our cruise ship passage through the Panama Canal locks was quite interesting. First, the ship channels through the locks are actually two parallel channels, separated by a dividing wall perhaps 30 feet wide. There are cog railroad tracks running alongside both ship channels. There are multiple locomotives on each track. The locomotives have two purposes, to pull the ships through the locks and to keep the ships centered in the water channels through the locks, so ships do not hit the sides of the locks. Interestingly, two ships go through the locks side by side, one in each channel. I was told this was to keep the water pressure equalized on both sides of the dividing wall.
When we went through the north set of locks, there was a huge Chinese cargo ship in the channel beside us. Both the cargo ship and our cruise ship were so huge there seemed to be only about two feet clearance between the ship hulls and the channel walls, although it might have been slightly more. There were eight locomotives assigned to each large ship, two on each side bow and two more on each side stern. Each locomotive let out a cable which was attached to the ship, and a winch kept tension on the cables to keep the ship centered in the channel. The locomotive tracks had a steep incline at each end of the three levels of locks that we went through, hence, the need for the cogs in mid tracks.
An experienced narrator kept a running dialog about what was happening at each step in the process. He said that the locks are designed so that no pumps are required because there is gravity flow of water from Gatun Lake. Water flows from the upper level locks to the lower levels as the ships come through. Huge gates at each end of a lock step open and close to regulate water levels as ships go through.
Since ships go through both sides of the locks side by side in the same direction, the Canal offers one-way traffic. The direction of ship travel is in one direction for a few hours, and in the other direction for the next few hours. Ships must arrange to enter the locks at specific times, and there were dozens of ships waiting outside the canal entrances for their time to come. All in all it was an interesting event for us land lubbers.

text: Paloma Faith A captivating chanteuse, a rabble-rousing entertainer and theatrical fashion chameleon, Faith's debut album, 'Do You Want the Truth, or Something Beautiful?' remains a glossy collection of retro-referencing soul and sassy pop. From the brass-blasted stomp of 'Stone Cold Sober', to the epic sweep of her biggest chart hit 'New York', the record went on to sell over half a million copies, earning Faith a nomination for Best British Female at the Brit Awards and the honour of closing the 2011 ceremony singing with Cee-Lo Green. At the behest of Chaka Khan, Faith performed 'I'm Every Woman' in front of 50,000 people and earned plaudits from Annie Lennox, who selected Faith join her onstage in support of International Women's Day. So much more than just a standard pop artist, one of this 26-year-old's greatest assets is her wicked and wry sense of humour, she's outspoken and unafraid: she has an opinion. As an artist she pulls from a wide range of sources, her experiences diverse. With a degree in contemporary dance and a Masters in Time Based Arts from Central St Martin's, Faith is tri-lingual (English, Italian, and conversational Spanish), and a talented actress to boot (she played the romantic foil to Tom Waits' Devil in the Terry Gilliam's 'The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus'). You're as likely to find Faith on the red carpet or on the fashion front row as judging London's Next Top Tranny at the local working men's club. "A lot of people write songs because they want to record them in a studio, they want put their feelings out there," she says. "I don't write songs for that reason: I write songs so I can perform them."

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 SMK-Link PadDock 10 review
PadDock 10 is a quality iPad stand and an adequate speaker
- Manufacturer: SMK-Link
- Pros: Sturdy and easy rotation; good-looking design
- Cons: Audio quality could be better
- Price: £89.99
- Star rating:
SMK-Link's PadDock 10 is a desktop iPad stand, charging dock, and speaker system that's available in two versions: The original PadDock 10 for the original iPad, and the PadDock 10v2 for the iPad 2. With an iPad in the plastic stand – you'll need to take your iPad out of its case, or remove its Smart Cover, to get a good fit – the appearance is reminiscent of an aluminum iMac or Apple's Thunderbolt Display.
The PadDock rotates 360 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise, locking in 90-degree intervals, to let you quickly and painlessly rotate your docked iPad into landscape or portrait orientation in either direction. The stand also offers 30 degrees of tilt adjustment, allowing you to angle your iPad up or down as desired. In my testing of both versions of the PadDock, the stand rotated easily, and the 30-degree-incline option made for a nice desktop viewing angle. The unit's base employs an anti-stick pad that worked well at preventing the PadDock from scooting around my desk when I inserted, rotated, or removed my iPad. I also found the stand to be quite sturdy, even when tapping on the iPad's screen.
As a speaker system, the PadDock 10 employs two 40mm by 55mm speakers, though because of their close proximity to each other, you won't notice much, if any, stereo separation. (That's even truer when you rotate your iPad in portrait orientation, positioning both speakers on the same side of the iPad.) You adjust volume using a dial on the speaker section of the stand. In terms of audio quality, the PadDock is nothing fancy – it's louder than your iPad's built-in speaker, but the audio quality sounds a bit tinny and lacks punch or bass presence.
If you're content with your iPad's built-in speakers, the PadDock 10's audio quality will likely satisfy.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Two BP rig supervisors charged with manslaughter in the death of 11 workers on the Deepwater Horizon will go on trial in 2014.
U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval Jr. has put off the trial of Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine until Jan. 13, 2014. They're accused of disregarding high pressure readings that should have been indications of trouble before BP's well blowout.
Prosecutors said they expect to provide more than a million pages of information to the defense. Defense lawyers said they needed more time to prepare for the trial, which had been scheduled Feb. 5.
The judge's action was made public Tuesday.

Phil Tittle has had a lot of titles over the years. He's been an airman, a father, a husband, a friend, a veteran. Now he's added another descriptor to follow his name: guitar teacher.
Tittle, who has played guitar for the last 11 years, has taken his love of music and his aspiration to help his fellow veterans and used them to form the Pensacola chapter of Guitars for Vets.
Nationally, Guitars for Vets began in 2007 and was founded by a Vietnam War veteran. He researched the benefits of music therapy for suffers of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and felt the same therapy could be used for vets with PTSD.
The program relies on volunteer teachers and donated used guitars in order to function. Vets come in for six weeks of private lessons, and then move on to a larger group setting. The group lessons also help vets connect with each other and form a larger support network among themselves.
Tittle had been doing research on starting a non-profit for veterans when he came across the national site for Guitars for Vets.

Why are Projects so hard? Why do we fail here so often, even in workplaces featuring thorough planning and highly disciplined execution?
We do not fail despite, but because of these. We believe that turning a project into a success is like baking a pizza, while in fact, it resembles much more creating a pizza recipe.
Why? In our projects, we're not into producing identical results from identical ingredients. Every project is unique - it is like research & development, not like production. In R & D, diversity of results is what we strive for. In production, diversity is our worst enemy. We should be aware of this, however, we're making the same 4 mistakes, over and over again: »

Here's some sweet news to start your day!
According to published reports this morning, a new cupcake shop will open in Charleston's Capitol Market early next month, settling into space between current vendors Purple Onion and The Wine & Cheese Shop.
Owner Sara Lane (who also owns Custom Cakes in Cross Lanes) plans to bake a variety of cupcakes and cake pops off-site, then bring them into the shop to sell. She says customers can expect a diverse selection of flavors and interpretations.
This is good timing, too. Cupcakes are all the rage these days, gracing the cover of fancy food magazines and replacing traditional cakes and birthday parties, baby and bridal showers, even weddings!
Café Cupcake has agreed to a temporary six-month lease, and will be open on weekends during regular market hours.

"My Big, Fat Gypsy Wedding' - a fat, guilty pleasure - PHOTOS & VIDEO

A scene from My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding |
I'm not much of a reality TV watcher, but the constant onslaught of teasers and trailers for My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding tempted me like the smell of baked bread wafting out of an Annie's pretzel mall kiosk.
For years I was fascinated by the traveling gypsy caravan communities perched alongside Irish roadways. The gypsies selling us oils and scarves on the cobblestone walkways were an exotic delicacy in the sea of pale people.
Thanks to the good folks at The Learning Channel (TLC), I was about to gain access into the mysterious shadow of Irish culture known as the traveler people.
Mind you, travelers was not the first name I heard to describe these people -- tinkers and knackers were more like it, with these nouns usually prefaced by the word "f***in'" thrown in for good measure.
One mild-mannered uncle on my dad's side grips the steering wheel hard and spits curse words every time he passes the new government housing in the section of Tuam where the travelers live.
"Faith'n they're a fair bit nicer than the house I broke my back to build," he'd shout in disgust.
I have seen firsthand the mounds of trash they left on our family's fields when someone encouraged them to move on, and though there was never proof, I have heard friends and family blame them for every petty crime in the bog.
Of course, these bile-tinged accusations only added to the curiosity I had when I tuned into the first episode of Wedding. Like all television in this programming genre, the camera casts a wide-eye on white trash playing into their stereotypes for the pleasure of the film crew.
An eight year-old little girl emerges on her Communion day from momma's trailer with false eyelashes, a spray tan, faux rhinestones along her eyelids, and a taffeta dress so large it has trouble fitting between two parked cars.

She joins her little prosti-tot friends at the party afterwards, and no girl on the dance floor is over 10 with heels under six inches.
Despite assurances of purity, morality, and spirituality from a self-professed traveler expert on the program, the puddles of flesh spilling out of the tight silk gowns on the big wedding days looked more like a brothel on prom night than a bridal party.
Perceived slights from the macho young men in the trailer park are settled -- where else? -- behind the cement wall at the back of the trailer park in a bare-knuckle brawl that the announcer assures us is a traveler ritual.
The breakout stars of the show are Paddy and Roseanne Doherty, the owners of one trailer park.
"Queen Elizabeth has her place, but I swear to God and my babies, this is my Buckingham Palace," Paddy announces before hopping into his convertible Audi (he gets a new car every six months whether he needs it or not).
A former bare-knuckle boxing champion, Paddy, 52, has painted "PD" on the blacktop in front of his trailer park, a fitting coat of arms for the likes of him if ever there was one.
He is a study in conflicts, a man that cries at his son's grave while delivering rough justice to anyone administering domestic violence within the comfort of their trailer if it happens to be parked on his land. With his bulging biceps and affinity for sleeveless shirts, he looks like a cross between a juicing Fred Flintstone and The Situation's Neanderthal ancestor.
"You'd never see a traveling man shopping," he says without a hint of irony as he lies on a store mattress.
The camera pans across the store and finds his wife looking at a white lacquered dining room set that's so gaudy it would give Elvis Presley vertigo. His purpose is soon clear when it comes time to pay the bill and Paddy takes yer man out back to hammer out a price.
"Even if you give a traveling man a pound off the price, he feels like he got a good deal," muses Roseanne.
With her cottony bleached hair, rhinestone jewels in the shape of a crown on each back pocket and loopy mannerisms, she could easily be the main character in every Loretta Lynn or Judd song.
One recently married bride explains that education is not something that's regarded in the traveler community.
No! Really? Ya don't say! I kinda figured that out when I saw Irishman Johnny leave his trailer home, hop in a helicopter, ride to his reception and take the ring out of a pouch held in the talons of a trained owl that flies to him.
If he had any education in math, he'd know that money on this costly circus could be put to better use. Oh, I dunno. How about a new set of teeth for the missus?
When Paddy and Roseanne pull up to their son's grave and she begins to sob uncontrollably while a crowd of travelers drink beer around the grave, your heart goes out to her.
I soon joined her in a cry with the knowledge that I'd never get the three hours back that I wasted watching this marathon of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding -- nor will I ever recoup the time spent watching the rest of the episodes.

There was a programme on here a few months ago where travellers traced their genetic origins. They are the original Paddys, they did not originate on the Indian subcontinent so are not related to the Roma.

Let me get this straight. Gypsies don't work, but they have extremely elaborate weddings. Are they royalty in disguise?

to set the records straight-Roma and Sinti originally come out of India 1300 years ago-travelors may have some old similarities of the caravan-but they are not related-they come from an ancient tribe aboriginal to England. I saw the sho from my home in America-and it makes me cringe-true Sinti gypsy born in US are educated, do not practice this foolish ignorant lifestyle, and are quite the opposite-this would be considered white trash with us-they make the rest of us look bad to have them called Roma. Yes, there are some bad apples that are not approved of by our own people.

Well, the Travellers (Tinkers, Knackers) that ply the roads from Co. Kerry over to the East in Co. Cork do tend to leave any roadside an entire mess of trash. They'll work an odd job for cash but the attention to detail is thin. It's a sub-culture of a sub-culture so throwing stones is odd, in itself. Until I was 12 I thought "F****k'n Tinker" was one word. In America, they have a "hive" (of sorts) in South Carolina - in the Spring they spread out and cheat old people.

This show makes me so mad! I seen these Travelers in Ireland. I also so saw many Gypsies through out Europe. We lived in Northern Italy for three years and were robbed by Gypsies. My jewelry box. I am sure they had a great Gypsy wedding with that, wedding ring included. We'd go away on vacation and have to shut down the electricity because they would jack up extention cords and steal our electricity. Our neighbors too, we all would be watching out for each others houses. So you can see why this show hits a nerve with me.

I also watched the same episodes as joycean and Mr. Farragher. I expected Catholic priests would insist on some decorum for couples who want to marry within the church sanctuary, especially when the bride and her bridesmaids are in massive gaudy dresses (exposing too much skin) and are overloaded with make-up, big hair, and jewelry. The wedding ceremony seems more like a costume party instead of a sacred ceremony. Whatever. MY QUESTION IS: how do the travelers make enough money to pay for these extravagant and expensive weddings, First Communions, clothes, and new cars that must cost thousands of dollars???? I was surprised to learn the degree of importance that over-the-top "fashion" is in the traveler community, beginning with babies and toddlers. I agree with joycean - extreme bad taste and wasteful spending for people who have little education and live in very small trailers. But then, that could be said of other people besides the travelers, although I've never seen dresses like the traveler women wear.

I watched one very long episode.If I ever had any romantic notions about gypsies, they were completely deflated. The bride wore a dress that had a huge hoop skirt that had to be held up to her navel in order to walk. She needed to wear a bandage to prevent "scarring"(?) around her waist. It must have cost thousands. Her wedding cake was 4 feet tall, and was decorated like a Disney castle, complete with Barbie and Ken dolls, something an American 5 year old would love.The young women at the wedding reception wore the shortest skirts I have ever seen, but girls don't drink, and the young men drink themselves senseless. The young people engage in a strange custom called "grabbing" whih seems to mean caveman behavior. And they are "devoted Roman Catholics"! The whole thing seemed to be American Trailor Trash taken to extreme Bad Taste and wasteful spending.

On Not Taking Up Space
By Melissa Kirk
Is it okay for you to take up space, physically, energetically, psychologically, or emotionally?

By Melissa Kirk
Is it okay for you to take up space, physically, energetically, psychologically, or emotionally? For myself, sometimes the answer is 'No.' I'm a very accommodating, flexible, and eager-to-please person. I sometimes I have to consciously hold myself back from doing too much for other people, especially if they are people I want to keep close to me. There's a little voice inside my head that tells me if I say no to those people, they won't want to be around me anymore. I can also be absentminded and scattered, temporarily losing things such as glasses, keys or event tickets, because I'm juggling so many things at one time that, literally, one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing.
Last night, I had a ticket to an event that myself and a group of friends were attending. I didn't want to carry my purse, so I put the ticket, along with my cash and ID, in a travel pouch that I stuffed in my boot. When we got to the venue, amidst the joking about "Does everyone have their ticket?" I looked at my ticket and realized I had brought the ticket for another event. This filled me with such absolute shame, that I just wanted to crawl under a rock. I felt like I had single-handedly inconvenienced everyone else, especially my friend who had to drive me back to his house to get the correct ticket. Everything worked out in the end; we got the ticket and the show wasn't even close to starting by the time we got to the venue. But throughout the evening I had a horrid, empty feeling, like I was about to be rejected because of my absentmindedness about the ticket. My thinking was that, by inconveniencing my friend, that my worth in his eyes had declined.
As the night went on and I thought about why I was feeling so disturbed by an incident that, after all, wasn't so uncommon, I had a sudden insight that my feelings were linked to a deepseated sense that it's not okay for me to take up any energetic space in the world. I saw that my anticipation of abandonment was connected to my feelings that making mistakes and being human automatically meant that I was unworthy of love. By inconveniencing someone — by making any kind of ripple in the world, in other words — I was risking rejection, and rejection would mean that I was worthless. This is also connected to my desire to be seen as accommodating and nonjudgmental, and my difficulty saying 'no.' By not taking up space, by not asking for anything that might cost someone else some time or energy, by not inconveniencing anyone and by not making anyone uncomfortable, I try to make myself worthy of love.
This was a powerful insight, one that I'm still pondering. In my personal experience, the people that I respond to are the ones who do take up energetic space, but not in an aggressive or selfish way. The people who are kind but also have strong boundaries, the ones who don' t hesitate when making a decision or stating an opinion, but who don't feel the need to use their decisions or opinions to steamroll others. I've heard public-speaking coaches say that, in order to be heard on stage, the speaker will need to speak louder and stronger than he or she thinks is necessary. Even when we may feel like we're shouting, we're usually actually speaking in a normal voice. I think this is true, energetically, also, especially of people like me who feel uncomfortable taking up a lot of energetic space. To take up even a normal level of space, we need to push past our comfort zones, to the point where we feel like we're way over the boundary of what's acceptable. For me, that means speaking a little bit more loudly than is comfortable (because I tend to speak quietly), stating my opinions just a little bit more confidently than I actually feel, not apologizing so much, and acting as if it's okay to make mistakes, even when, inside, I'm cowering in shame.
How about you? Do you feel it's okay to take up space in your life? How do you see this issue operating in your life?

Architect: Paul Andreu
The 'Clouds' under the Grand Arch provide shelter from bad weather and create an intermediate scale between the esplanade and the gigantic monument, which in fact houses offices. They are made of teflon fabric stretched on a metal frame and tensed by cables. Their complex geometry called for the design and construction of many moulded parts - ties, bracing struts, swivels, anchor plates which transmit strains to the cables tied at ground level and to the inner faces of the cube-shaped monument. The pinnacles at the convergence points of the double-curving teflon sheets were eliminated. In their place are rings that absorb the traction strain in the fabric and appear on the under-side of the membrane in the form of round skylights. The installation of the mesh structure and its gradual tensing needed the utmost rigour and a delicate touch.

- " I mean, it's a hostel so you get what you get. But for a hostel, what you're getting is pretty good. Location is a little shady, but not as bad as the Yelp reviews lead on. And once you're inside, you feel perfectly safe. Most people going through are 20-30 some travelers from Europe, and everyone pretty much keeps to themselves. Waiting in line for the showers at night and in the mornings is a bit annoying but like I said before, it's a hostel. You get what you get. "

- " The room was pretty simple though it was not to the cleanest standard and the window didn't close or open properly so the smoke from the smoking deck came into the room.eww. The bathrooms were also pretty filthy. The off-season cost is more appropriate for the space that is provided but the major benefit of the hostel is its location. Close to Gastown and Chinatown....just steer clear of E. Hastings. Sketchy. "

Weather Advisory 12-001, Valid 050350S DEC 13 until further notice, Observed surface wind greater than or equal to 25 KTS/29 MPH, observed at 27 KTS/31 MPH on the Fort Hood reservation. **Special Weather Statement**: A strong cold front will move through the Fort Hood area around sunrise Thursday. Temperatures will drop to upper 30s and will likely be below freezing by early Friday morning. Wind will be from the north with gusts to 30 mph. Wind chill will be in the upper teens to low 20s Friday afternoon. Light rain likely Thursday evening into early Friday. Another round of light precipitation likely Saturday with the best chance for wintery mix of freezing rain/drizzle and/or sleet late Saturday morning into Sunday morning. Some ice accumulation and hazardous road conditions may exist around the Fort Hood area especially on bridges and overpasses.
Like the State of Texas, Fort Hood is big and boasts of being the largest active duty armored post in the United States Armed Services. Fort Hood is nicknamed The Great Place because of the quality of life the post and area offer Soldiers and their families. These qualities are important, especially with home-basing initiatives, frequent deployments and family stability and support.
Soldiers assigned to Fort Hood can expect to have one of the highest quality of life standards in the Army. New housing, quality medical care, thriving communities, recreation and schools combine to ensure that Fort Hood is The Great Place.
Fort Hood covers a total of 340-square miles and supports multiple units, a corps headquarters and a robust mobilization mission. Fort Hood also meets the training and support requirements for many smaller units and organizations, thus maintaining a vital defense force for the United States of America.
Fort Hood rests in the beautiful 'hill and lake' country of Central Texas between Killeen and Copperas Cove and is approximately 60 miles north of the capital city of Austin, 50 miles south of Waco, 160 miles south of Dallas, and 150 miles north of San Antonio.
For everyone who enjoys the outdoors, The Great Place is the ideal location, because of warm winters and hot summers. The nearby lakes, Belton and Stillhouse, offer year round outdoor recreation activities.
Fort Hood also captures the attention of the entertainment industry and is the frequent host of celebrities, entertainers and theatrical shows from national dance teams. There are also many opportunities to enjoy the Central Texas atmosphere at Fort Hood, as local talent is frequently performing at Fort Hood clubs.
With all the current deployments, be sure to make the most of available down time at Fort Hood. The Fort Hood experience is only limited by the individual. So, make the most of the time here!

December 12, 2013
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The Kentucky Public Service Commission has begun the process again of establishing a new area code for the western half of the state.
The agency made that announcement on Thursday.
The ever-growing use of cell phones has resulted in nearly all the numbers available in the 270 area code being taken. All 270 numbers are expected to be claimed by late 2014.
Implementation of the proposed new area code, previously designated as 364, had been delayed five times since 2006, largely because it wasn't yet needed.
Now, the Public Service Commission will have to decide whether to carve out an area for the 364 code within the region now using 270 or to simply overlay the 364 code.

Definitely stop here on your way to or from Independence Pass. Wear comfortable shoes and take the walk down to the General Store. This is a small piece of Colorado history that shouldn't be missed!
Definitely stop here on your way to or from Independence Pass. Wear comfortable shoes and take the walk down to the General Store. This is a small piece of Colorado history that shouldn't be missed!
Stopped by this ghost town while on our way down from a fall colors drive over Independence Pass. After that, almost nothing could impress! Access was easy, in spite of a recent snowfall.
Driving over Independence pass is truly one of the great Aspen experiences. Highly recommended. If you come into town from down valley, however, I wouldn't highly recommend making the drive up to the ghost town on the pass. It's kinda cool but not worth the time...
I'm not so sure about the destination, but the journey is incredible from either direction.... I make the trip several times a year and I am always amazed!
You can walk around for a small donation, it is just a cool place. Every once in a while, they have the general store open and someone is there to answer questions.
fun and remote place to visit, it really shows the hard conditions that people had to go thru when the gold boom was in this area. A nice place to visit during summer it is always cool and you will see wonderful views.
We visited the Ghost town after driving over the Pass from the east. Friendly guide at the entrance, and a small fee, to view the town. Very interesting to see how the Miners lived years ago, check out the general store, lots of history. Good job is done to try to restore the houses and the walk trails between them.... More
I'm a history junkie, so we stopped at this little attraction just west of Independence Pass. The history of the town of Independence is well-documented, which gives the visit a good sense of history. A visit to the website after your visit to the town is a cool way to bring it all full-circle; take time to read the letter... More

Updated the floors.. they look great
, 4/24/12
By Tracy Newman - My mom used to have this awful vinyl parquet that didn't look anything like a wood floor. I mean, it was about as fake as you could get. I'm not even sure what the point was. This floor looks just like real hardwood and I've had several people ask if it's real. I haven't decided what to tell them.

Most of the other festivals have announced lineups or partial lineups,,,,
Any rumours for me to get excited about yet?.....Jimmy Cliff and Manu Chao are the rumours according to VirtualFestivals.....someone clever detailed a search string last year that searched google for bands own sites etc- any clever people know what the syntax would be?...I would like to start a rumour that Kanda Bongo Man is going to play again....Not too long now...
Wonderful rumors! It's been many years since I've seen Jimmy Cliff perform. I missed Manu Chao when they were here in Miami, but had quite a few friends at the show that raved about how great they were. I would love to see them!
Bjork has announced what she's doing at the end of July ;o)
Hi, Christingpher
Venja shared this little beauty with us on the "Any news yet" thread last year:
"'Tis but the power of Google my friends...! A quick tip for searches: use a MySpace site search and include terms for "WOMAD", "Jul" and the either "29", "30", "31". For example, type the following into Google exactly as it appears below:
site:www.myspace.com womad 29 jul
You'll still have to sift through the results, but you'll get some juicy info!"
Just need to change the dates for this year : 26, 27, 28 29
Ela it is going to be brilliant and so worht your trip
Cal N Del - she's not given anything away yet then
not yet, but there's still hope
efestivals also tip Manu Chau as rumour and have Jimmy Cliff in TBC category
Last night, they World Routes team (Lucy Duran and James Parkin) announced that Argentinian accordionist José Hernando Noguera shall be playing the Radio 3 stage, and that they are in the process of booking Cape Verdean singer Michel for the same stage...
Sorry, Columbian, not Argentinian...
Good, I've never seen either of them before
Oh I just love it!! Tingling as we speak! x

Brooklyn VanderVeen and Melanie Popovich led the Eagles with three goals apiece in Arroyo Grande High girls water polo's 11-7 win over Cabrillo on a wet Wednesday afternoon.
The host Eagles improved to 1-0 on the season. They opened the season ranked #4 in CIF's Division 3. The Conquistadores, who are ranked 9th in Division 5, fell to 1-1.
The Eagles built a 3-0 lead after the first quarter. VanderVeen, a junior, scored the first goal of the game. Melanie Popovich and Kelsey Docouto scored as well in the first eight minutes.
Morgan Clark converted a penalty shot early in the second quarter to give AG a 4-0 lead. Cabrillo star Tancy Aldridge got the Conquistadores on the board with a ball that made it past Sonoma State signee Hannah Wadlow. Aldridge signed a national letter of intent last week to Cal State Bakersfield.
The Eagles took a 4-2 lead into halftime and extended it to 8-3 after three quarters.
Wadlow made 8 saves for AG in her first varsity start in goal for the Eagles.
