And now, the final exam to Intro to Wide Cracks 101: after Easy Jam, Baldwin's Chimney, Right Parallel Space, Piton Perch, Slit, Handjacker, and Candlestick, it is now time to do one of the area classics of the grade, the Slots. Beware of any climb at Vedauwoo named Slot (here are 2). These were (and still are) sandbags for the grade, but the confidence gained of experience will work in your favor. Body position, proper and rhythmical movement, foot and leg position, and confidence will all serve you well here. From the parking lot, head left around the crag. Just left and around the corner from the Stand and Deliver Boulder are a series of overhanging wide cracks. Lower Slot takes...the lower one, and leads to a classic, leaning OW (Upper Slot). What else can I say at this point but: Go For IT.
Big stuff.
Steve, this list is fantastic. I'll be hitting the whole course on my next trip to Vedauwoo. Thanks.
My thanks also, Steve. What more can you ask for than Cliff's Notes for OW 101? It almost feels like cheating.
I guess I cheated on my final exam - instead of taking Lower Slot I did the variation (Lower Slot Left) which I thought was pretty cool. BTW - the Kopishka guide book lists both Lower and Upper Slot as 5.6. Regardless of the rating this is definitely a nice line.
This was a sweet climb. Not to spray, but I don't think it was sandbagged at all. 5.6-5.7 (IF you have the technique dialed). Only a short section of offwidth for my size body (mostly fist jams). There is a nice sidepull to the left to help you through the early offwidth section on the second pitch. Once these are mastered, don't forget Middle Parrallel Space and Fantasia to bump it up a notch.
My first climb at Vedauwoo was combining A little on the Ugly Side with Upper Slot. On upper slot, I did a variation on the face to the right of the crack to get past the crux. Why did I mention this, Petro is probably correct, but for someone inept at offwidths, 5.10 friction face climbing is apparently easier.
Upper Slot - All I can say is heel toe, heel toe. And pray that you don't have a small foot like mine that your heel toe options will soon disappear as the slot widens. Watch those knees. Ouch...
Owwwch! Fun climb, I love knowing how much I suck.
These were my favorite climbs from the 3 days (which was not nearly enough!) that we spent in Vedauwoo. The book we had listed Lower Slot at 5.8- and Upper Slot at 5.7+. The crux in the middle of the Lower Slot, which involved getting established in the crack after it jogs to the left, was certainly perplexing, and I'm still replaying the moves in my dreams :). The upper slot was sustained and fun, with great heel-toes. It felt easier than Mother #1 (Which I climbed on day 1), although by the time I climbed this one I'd been stuffing myself up fat cracks for 3 days and my technique may have improved a little.
The second pitch can be done independently (the walk-off for Slit takes you right past the top of the Lower Slots, beginning of the upper slots) and is a pretty good 5.6 offwidth pitch in its own right. I still haven't found the 5.7 sequence for my body size on the first pitch though.
I stupidly got my brand new #5 jammed on this thing on its very first placement a couple weeks ago. If you manage to extract it, please please contact me. I will ply you with food/beer rewards! Really bummed. That said, thought this was a nice offwidth lesson with a gorgeous top-out and rap off the backside. Just when the gruntiness seems serious, it backs off. It also seemed to accept a reasonable left-side-in approach given a few good outside feet on the right side face from the crack.

Rated 2.6 out of 5 by 7
Rated 4 out of 5 by KKits Good for thick mats
I purchased this strap as my new manduka mat was too thick for any yoga bag I had. THis strap works well to keep the mat together and is a good all around strap for stretching.
November 16, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 Not supportive enough
The strap was hard to get around my thick mat and a few times the mat flipped out of it because I couldn't get the strap on securely since the mat was thicker.
September 10, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by yogaspirit319 Not loving it
I thought it was a cool idea...sling for the mat and to hold poses, but there is another one that is better. The stretch was too easy to hold the poses as a strap would and the ring openings were too tight to hold 2 mats which is what I carry all the time to class. Actually I am no longer using this product since I bought different one.
Gaiam has another strap with Velcro that works better, at least for me, which serves both purposes.
August 24, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mommyto2 Poor construction...did not last
I bought this strap because of the design and price. Unfortunately, it could hardly fit my yoga mat and the first time I used it during class, it broke. Too bad!
August 12, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by KrisC Other uses
This sling is too small to go around my yoga bag without breaking fingers to get it on. It is great as a strap tho so I will continue to use it in my practice.

Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
Most of the complaints here and on amazon had to do with the strap not fitting over the mat or being too tight if it does. I am looking for a non-velcro style sling and would really like something like this but am concerned it would cause problems. I like the design of a sling that has a loop so the strap can be adjusted around the mat to size, anything in the works for that?

It might be the thickness of the mats being used by those reviewers. I was able to get a 3mm and 5 mm mat in easily however you have to make sure it's tightly rolled or it's not going to fit.11 months ago
I use a thick mat and a blanket, and need to know the circumference or length of the straps when stretched out.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Not sure exactly the diameter, but enough for the thickest manduka mat with a sticky back yoga towel rolled inside which is quite large when rolled up.2 years ago

It will accommodate a mat that is 5 inches in diameter when rolled.2 years, 3 months ago

I know it's not fair to NOT show everything as I'm working on it. Especially when I've done that in the past. But there are some things I want to keep to myself, so they are NEW when the next book is released!
It is so fun to post a block, or something I am working on, and have it catch on like wildfire because we all want to join in and be inspired to try something new to use up the scraps.
And pretty soon, it's gone blog to blog to blog, and people are finishing my projects before I have a chance to finish my own...*LOL* So SOME stuff is going to stay under the wire until the release date, okay?
But since I've shown this one before....here is just a glimpse of the quilting process. And I probably will not post a pic of the full thing until it is time to be released :c) It's just a hint! Somewhere in my archives are more pics of these "Nine in the middle" blocks, and Chloe perching herself....okay....displaying herself in a very un-lady-like fashion, shameless hussy!....on top of them.
I do love how this is coming out...and happy for the time to be home and actually be Quilting SOMETHING!!!
PS...you know the humidity has settled in, in the south, when your pantograph paper patterns don't want to unfurl at all, and feel damp to the touch! I think I need a de-humidifier down here. *adding that to the list*
15 comments:
I like the gingham sashing a lot. ;) What I can see of the border looks great too!
You ought to be proud of the way things you do catch on in the quilt blogging world, you're quite the trend-setter! Google page ranking has YOUR blog at 4/10, and most of us bloggers only make 2 or 3/10 so, congrats!
Let me know if you ever need any more logos, ok? I've been thinking about putting that 'Take me to Quiltville' one on a t-shirt. Think there'd be a market for it?
I know it's a hassle, but I've had to enable the word verification thing so that EVERYONE is eligible for blog giveaways. It's the only way to keep the spammers, scammers and other baddies at bay!

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Officials have confirmed the first case of West Nile virus in Pueblo County. A second human case is suspected, but has not been confirmed.
The Pueblo City-County Health Department urges the public to take every precaution to avoid contracting this virus, which in the most serious cases can cause long-term sickness and disability.
'We know for certain mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus are in our community, and a human case has been confirmed, so it is very important every individual take precaution," Dr. Christine Nevin-Woods, public health director of the Health Department, said in a statement.
West Nile virus does not show up immediately after a mosquito bite, but rather develops five days to two weeks after the bite. Symptoms include fever, extreme fatigue, a stiff neck, rash, headaches and a changed mental state.
The Health Department released the following protective measures, known as the Four Ds:
• DRAIN: Eliminate standing water in tires or similar water-holding containers as these may serve as mosquito breeding sites. Change the water in birdbaths, empty tires or flower pots, at least weekly.
• DUSK AND DAWN: Avoid outdoor activities, such as gardening, at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
• DEET, picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus are effective ingredients to look for in insect repellents. Always follow label instructions for application.
• DRESS: If outside during the periods when mosquitoes are most active, cover up by wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, shoes and socks.

Nonis expects Bozak to be ready for Leafs-Bruins Opener
UPDATED 2:56 PM EDT Apr 30, 2013
Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis told the media on Monday that he expects Tyler Bozak to be ready for Toronto's playoff opener on Wednesday in Boston. Bozak skated with the team but left practice early today. He has missed the last two games with an upper body injury. He came out early to skate and take some practice shots, but he left 10 minutes into the full practice. There was a scare when forward Nazem Kadri crashed into the net during one drill, with the goal coming off its moorings. Kadri grimaced but continued practicing.

ALBANY, GA -- In our Facebook Story of the Day, you wanted to know what happens if you're pulled over for suspectedly driving under the influence and refuse to take a breathalyzer test.
Officials say under Georgia Law you're required to submit to a state administered chemical test to determine if you're over the legal limit. If you refuse, you'll be charged with a DUI and lose your license for at least one year.
"It's really best to cooperate, and because of the fact that we've had so many refusals is why the state of Georgia came up with this law, and pretty much every state in the united states has a similar type of law," said Captain Craig Dodd of the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office.
In order to legally drive in Georgia your blood alcohol content must be below 0.08%.

The Kent State University Division of Research and Sponsored Programs and Department of Physics will host a public lecture by Yale Professor of Physics John W. Harris on March 28 at 7 PM.
The public lecture, "An Odyssey through our Universe – From the Big Bang and Unknown Dark Forces to Unseen Dimensions and Universes" will be held in the Cartwright Hall Auditorium, Kent Campus, on March 28, starting at 7 PM. A reception will be held in the Auditorium lobby starting at 6:30 PM. This event is being held in conjunction with the Outstanding Research and Scholarship Award Ceremony which begins at 5:30 PM and will also be held in the lobby just outside of the Cartwright Hall Auditorium.
The lecture is intended for a non-technical audience. Children and adults of all ages are encouraged to attend.
"I invite you to take a pedestrian's guided tour through the genesis of our Universe!" Harris wrote in his abstract for the lecture.
Harris further explains his planned lecture, "From the Big Bang through initial faster-than-light Inflation of the Universe, watch the universal force of Nature split into 4 forces. Travel through a hot Quark Soup into the regime of particles, atoms and molecules, then to galaxies, solar systems and planets. Along the way, learn "not to exceed the cosmic speed limit" and "to avoid conflicts of cosmic proportions. In this lecture I will discuss issues that constitute some of the most intriguing mysteries and marvels remaining in modern-day physics, including gravity, black holes, quantum mechanics, string theory, dark matter and the Higgs particle," he said.
The research interests of Harris are focused on understanding the behavior of nuclear, hadronic and partonic matter at high energy densities. Such energy densities are predicted to have existed a few microseconds after the Big Bang and are expected in collisions of heavy nuclei at ultrarelativistic energies. Formation, discovery and determination of properties of the Quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is the primary purpose of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven Laboratory on Long Island in New York and at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
Harris was involved in the original proposal to initiate a nucleus-nucleus experimental program at CERN to search for a possible QGP phase transition, and has been an active member in the planning, conceptual design, construction, data acquisition and physics of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus experiments NA35 and NA49 at CERN, and the STAR (Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC) experiment at Brookhaven. He was the founding spokesperson for STAR from 1991 until 2002. In addition to his work on STAR, he is currently focusing his research effort on the ALICE experiment at the LHC at CERN and is National Coordinator for the ALICE-USA Collaboration.
Attendance is free and open to the public.

Highlights of Sumatra (AESH)
If the only thing you think of when you hear "Sumatra" is "coffee," then we need to have a chat. If you're looking to plunge right into a nature-filled adventure with elephants and orangutans aplenty, here's where you'll want to be for two weeks of city touring, hiking, and having a great time bonding with your fellow travellers. We're pretty sure you'll agree that everything is a highlight in Sumatra.
Highlights: Encounter elephants and orangutans up close and personal, hike down to a crater lake, trek in the jungle of national parks, chill out on Lake Samosir.
Cities of Europe (EELA)
If you're looking for a stellar, budget-conscious tour that provides a quick yet comprehensive sampler of Europe, this is a party you'll want to join. We'll hit up six countries in 14 days and take the time to drink in all the highlights in famous cities like Paris, Rome, Venice, London and more. Enjoy comfortable train travel between locations and soak up the experience of seeing Europe with a small group. This continent has never felt so small.
Highlights: Explore historic cities and their galleries and museums, sample regional wines and delicacies, hit six countries in 14 days, sample some pilsner on a German pub crawl.
Queensland Sand, Sailing & Dreamtime (OAQE)
This is hardly a sleepy trip. Rather, this is the perfect 12-day adventure for sailing buffs that want to experience the blue waters of Australia, as well as off-road enthusiasts looking to explore via private 4x4s. We've got an exclusive beachside permanent tented camp to stay at on sandy Fraser Island, and once we're north of Cairns, we'll spend 3 days with Aborigines learning spearfishing in mangroves, amongst other things. While "dreamtime" is a mythology central to indigenous Australian society, we're pretty sure you'll want to be wide awake for this trip.
Highlights: Sleep under the stars at a remote cattle station, zip over dunes in a 4x4 on a remote sand island, sail from island to island through the Whitsundays on a maxi yacht, spearfish and cook what you catch with Aboriginals, make your own Aboriginal artwork, learn about life in remote communities with a local host.

Get a dose of urban delights in Rio and southern Curitiba and natural wonders at stunning Iguassu Falls and the massive Pantanal wetlands. Better yet, you'll fly between Rio and Curitiba so there's more time to celebrate. While no match tickets are included, you're free to arrange your own or simply dance along during the country's biggest party yet.
Highlights: Being a part of football euphoria in Brazil, sipping caipirinhas at night, marvelling at Iguassu Falls, encountering wildlife in the Brazilian Pantanal, cheering for your team with many others, partying with thousands on the Brazilian streets, experiencing all Rio has to offer by day and night.

I would have had that H60 if it fit in my case! I think I will need to get something like that for Ivy Bridge (along with a new case lol)
I need something i can trust on my Q9450, that PC has been unstable for the best part of a year.... Im contemplating going i7 now.... I am trying to get the mobo repaired...
use a laptop. or get a cheap one with a AMD E-450, should give you some grunt for gaming but not much - their usually around £200-250. maybe more if its in a netbook/laptop
what games do you play anyway? Im quite a bit of a gamer myself. but sometimes I can go for weeks without playing games. its good to take the odd break time to time
I haven't played for 2 months already. Im into Shogun 2, BC2, Dirt 3 and f1 2010... Im going to bayswater to try and get my current shiz fixed
no love for BF3??? tbh Im not entirely that stoked about BF3 as i was about BF2. to me BF2 was just totally amazing. dont get me wrong, the game is superior to BF2 in almost every way, but some of the maps + destructable environments just spell disaster on some maps as it promotes camping and bitches that shoot you in the back when you try to move up. Have you seen how small Wake Island is now??? they shrunk the fucking map! I find BC2 most excellent though providing you can get a good server, but most of the decent servers i used to frequent at have mostly been taken down so i dont even bother playing that anymore.
stock right now, Having a little hard drive trouble.. Will be reinstalling after i back up the stuff on my RAID
Does anyone actually buy things like this? --> http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets...Strike-Freedom-Plastic-Model-Kit/Product.html I can see how someone might want it if they were a fan of the show, but it just looks like someone decided to add an extra digit on the price to all of these things
I actually have this model..... but mines the Lightning Edition with leds that light parts of the body up and stuff.
You paid £400? It's nothing against the product i wouldn't mind owning it myself, it's just the price that i thought was slightly weird

Search ongoing for missing boater in Coshocton County
Written by Z. Daniel BarnettGuernsey County Sheriff's Office assists in search on, around Muskingum River
COSHOCTON COUNTY, Ohio -- The Guernsey County Sheriff's Office has been called in to assist in the search for a missing boater in Coshocton County.
According to the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office, a small boat capsized in the Muskingum River at around 7:00pm Thursday, sending three boaters into the cold, rushing water. Two were able to swim to shore and call for help. They were transported to the Coshocton Memorial Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Search teams tried, but were unable, to locate the third boater on Thursday night. The search for the 53-year-old man had to be suspended, as recent flooding made conditions too hazardous to continue after dark.
Teams returned to the banks of the Muskingum River on Friday morning to continue the search. Guernsey County Sheriff Mike McCauley told AVC News that deputies will use the Office's air boat to negotiate the swiftly-moving water.
AVC News will bring you updates on the search efforts as they become available.

This is utterly disappointing. I look in the review queue and see a new Avulsed album. I immediately prepare myself for some dense, guttural, and succulently mushy death metal. Just the kind of stuff Avulsed have been getting better at delivering for the last ten years. That's not what I got. Instead, Reanimations offers only two new songs, a rerecording of an older demo track, three covers, and (I shit you not) nine recordings of OTHER FUCKING BANDS playing Avulsed songs. It's really the most baffling and shameless kind of filler album I've ever come across; and I'm a Megadeth fan.
Alright, the real songs are good. "River Runs Red" and "Foetal Consolation" are like the sonic equivalent of being slapped across your bare chest with shanks of wet beef that were stored in a dank basement with a cranked humidifier. Avulsed plays superbly as a unit. The songs are full of cohesive transitions, brisk pinch harmonics, steer conjuring melodic solos, and kit rumbling double bass. And, the most excellent part is how truly Avulsed sound like a band, not just a studio creation. These tunes are performed by a living, breathing organism, and that adds an enlivening kind of excitement that takes this kind of music to a higher, more satisfying level. So, yes, the new songs are very good. Even the remix of "Stabwound Orgasm" sheds light on the band's early Autopsy influence, with its acceleration from doomish lurching to absolutely feral blasting.
You can probably imagine what the cover tracks sound like. Exodus' "Piranha" is alarmingly fast, and replaces razor sharp ferocity with Avulsed's lumbering recklessness. W.A.S.P's "I Wanna Be Somebody" gets a death metal makeover that bulks up the rhythm section, but makes the lyrics sounds less potent and rebellious. Gorefest's "Metal Misery" makes the most sense of the cover tunes, and sounds the best. While less novel than the other two, it better illuminates Avulsed as a machine geared towards playing, churning and oppressive death metal.
Now, even though I really love bands like Avulsed for their ability to make engrossing, thickly textured albums, they rarely write singular songs that makes a distinct impression. So, hearing their stuff taken out of context and played by bands I've never heard before...is boring and lame. Terroristars take a neo-industrial approach to "Powdered Flesh" and top it with melo-dramatic clean vocals. Pretty zany. Flesh Embraced's cover of "Gorespattered Suicide" is tight and proficient, but a little too sterile to capture the vibe Avulsed shoots for. A band called Carnavage does a basement quality cover of "Stabwound Orgasm," which is pretty useless to anybody who's heard a proper version of the song. Kaothic takes a traditional metal approach to "Sweet Labotomy" that I'm sure that band and their friends will get high and laugh to. But really, it's all just a bunch of bands that aren't as good as Avulsed playing Avulsed songs. You don't want to pay for that.
Aside from the two new tracks, this album doesn't do really anything to earn your money. This is a stupid idea for a stop-gap between major releases. Seriously, just save your money until the band releases something new and substantial.

She enters the finals a half second behind Washburn Rural's Molly Christensen and three-quarters of a second behind Blue Valley North's Grace Stafford.
Hutchinson's 200- medley relay of Fee, Ashton Fee, Claire Stockton and Ciara Kroeker made the state tournament with consideration time and could not drop enough time to hang with the top-eight state contenders for the finals. They topped their season-best time of 2:09.57 with a 2:08.52 but only finished 19th.

Description Report Fraud
Austin-Healey Sprite, Red, for sale in Pleasanton, California, for $11,990.
This vehicle is displayed in our San Carlos California Showroom (650) 326-1000.
The Austin-Healey Sprite Mark III was a transition model between the Mark II roadster that preceded it and the Mark IV convertible that followed it. While the Mark III had the roll-up windows of a \"convertible, \"it still had the easily detachable, button-down soft top of a \"roadster. \"Still the same handsome car as its Mark II predecessor, it retained the same 1098 cc engine as the Mark II Series although with three more horsepower at 59. Approximately 25,000 of them were produced. If you ever get the chance to sample the original Sprite, then a Mark III, you will quickly realize the difference between the two, particularly in the suspension area. In fact, such were the changes made that the Sprite Mark III had a great deal in common with that of the larger MGB. The wider location base for the rear springs allowed B. M. C. to put more rubber into the shackles. This provided quieter running as well as a better ride. Final drive vibration evident on the earlier model was all but gone. The handling was light and predictable, and there was ample elbowroom with two large people on board. These changes helped the Sprite and Midget compete with the then recently-released Triumph Spitfire. As any Austin Healy enthusiast will tell you that the whole joy in these cars lies in the simplicity and purity of them. This sprite comes to us from its 3rd owner and basically everything is already done for you. All that's left is to enjoy some summer motoring! This would even make a great candidate to enjoy some vintage racing. Some of the recent maintenance that was done includes a new clutch, new brakes, new tires, new paint(Porsche Guard's Red), and a redone interior. The engine pulls strong and the overall feel of this Sprite is very solid. Give us a call or e-mail to learn more or to schedule visit to our showroom.

BMI Calculator
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is one way of assessing an individual's bodyweight in relation to height. Use the BMI calculator to determine if your bodyweight falls into an appropriate range, or to see if you are over- or underweight. To find your results, look for the output value below:
BMR Calculator
Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy used (measured in calories) by your body to perform basic functions, such as those of vital organs like the heart, lungs, and nervous system. It is the number of calories your body would expend if you performed no physical activity throughout the day, and your digestive system was inactive. The calculator determines your BMR using multiple factors, including height, weight, age, and gender.
Calorie Calculator
The Calorie Calculator produces a value that represents the daily caloric intake required to maintain your current weight. If "Lose Weight" or "Build Muscle" is your goal, the calculator will scientifically add or subtract from the total calories.
Protein Calculator
Protein is essential to your progress in the gym as well as muscle growth. Protein helps build and maintain muscle when consumed in conjunction with a proper workout regimen. Use this calculator to help determine your approximate daily protein intake and how many grams per meal you should aim for to help you reach your goals
Water Calculator
Water is essential to life and the proper functioning of the human body. Not only is water one of the most abundant nutrients available, but it's also the most important. Water helps regulate and maintain your body temperature, transports nutrients and oxygen, and removes waste products. Insufficient water intake can result in dehydration, fatigue, decreased performance, and increased risk of heat-related illness. Use the water calculator below to determine your suggested daily water intake based on your weight and activity level.
One-Rep Max Calculator
The following one-rep max (1RM) calculator can help you determine your maximum squat, bench press, and dead lift capabilities. It can also be a valuable indicator to see if your strength is increasing.
If you're interested in increasing the amount of weight you can lift, you should look for powerful supplements that are designed to increase muscle and strength. All VPX / REDLINE products are engineered to help you achieve your goals in the gym, no matter if you're a champion bodybuilder or a weekend warrior.
Activity Calculator
To be successful at any muscle building plan, you must have a smart nutritional strategy and training program. Help keep your muscle building goals on track and avoid adding excess fat by using the Activity Calculator to approximate the number of calories that activities such as weightlifting and running will use. For a more accurate daily calorie count of what you'll need to build muscle, use this calculator in conjunction with the Calorie Calculator.

This was a must have for my Grandson's 3rd birthday. I saw all the great gifts he received for Christmas but realized that everything was battery operated. I wanted to make sure he enjoyed some good old fashion fun and exercise like I did back in the days. When I saw the Big Wheel it reminded me of my childhood and how much fun we kids had racing up and down the street with it. It was a definite must have for him. Just as I thought, he loves it. His eyes opened wide when he saw it and jumped on it right away. It turned out to be his favorite birthday gift of all received.

We bought this for our 4 yr. old grandson for Christmas and less than a month later the seat is broken and he can't use it. The round pieces at the bottom of the seat both broke right off. Also, when he would peddle it, often the front wheel would just spin. Our children had Big Wheels when they were little and they lasted for a long, long time. I am so disappointed this isn't the case with this new one. The quality just isn't the same. I need to find out how I can either get my money back or a new Big Wheel?

Used outdoor as suggested. Son loves this toy. Only had it less than 4 months and rode it for less that 2 months then the seat separated from the pegs today. Very disappointed. I am contacting the manufacturer directly to request a new seat.

Throwing away your money
By Pappa Bear

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
The Big Wheel looks awesome on the box, but after breaking a pedal following installation instructions, it didn't look so awesome. Our six year old didn't mind that though, he rode it every day. That is until the main drive clips in the front wheel broke into pieces only a month later! Nothing like the toy I had as a child!! Huge disappointment!

My son really enjoyed his big wheel, it is very disappointing he only got to enjoy it for about 2 weeks before the seat pegs broke. The support of the seat was what allowed him to peddle.

Great fun
By Gigi
from Dallas, TX
This would be a great product if you could get parts for it....we put together and they provide several placings for the seat for shorter and longer legs...but when you go to remove from one set of holes to the other....peg breaks and now the product is of no use to anyone...the seat now flops around...because we put this in the last hole and not the first close to the pedals, my grandson has never had the opportunity to enjoy the Big Wheel, after trying to get a phone number or a response to my emails to the manufacturing, I have had to luck in speaking to or conversing through email with the manufacturer.

With two years of fundraising for Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry® campaign and donations amounting to over $180,000, Ted's Montana Grill is setting a first-ever goal to connect America's hungry children with 2 million meals, by raising $200,000* during the restaurant company's five-week No Kid Hungry event, Aug. 26 – Sept. 29.
September is No Kid Hungry month, and presents an annual opportunity for Ted's Montana Grill to join the nationwide network of restaurateurs who draw national attention to the crisis of childhood hunger in America. Throughout the event, all 44 Ted's Montana Grill locations are encouraging guests to donate to the No Kid Hungry campaign by simply circling a donation amount of $1, $5, $10 or more on their receipts.
Now in its sixth year, this national restaurant fundraising event has raised $6 million for the No Kid Hungry campaign. The campaign is ending childhood hunger in this country by connecting kids in need with nutritious food and teaching their families how to cook healthy, affordable meals.
"We're deeply honored to partner with Share our Strength and to support their work helping make sure every child in this country gets the food he or she needs, every day," said George W. McKerrow, co-founder and CEO of Ted's Montana Grill. "We look forward to seeing our guests in our restaurants throughout September and hope they'll give a little donation, spend a little time with their families, and remember that being hungry is something very painful, but that they can make a difference."
As recipient of Share Our Strength's "Restaurateur of the Year" award this year, McKerrow has been an advocate of the nonprofit for more than 15 years and was recently named a co-chairman for this year's No Kid Hungry campaign, along with John Miller, CEO of Denny's. For a personal message from McKerrow about the initiative click here.
"The healthier our children are, the better their education is. And the better their education, the better chance they have to lift themselves up to realize all their dreams and overall become an important part of the health and well-being of our society," he added.
Donations are also being accepted now through the end of the year at www.nokidhungry.org/tedsmontanagrill.
*This amount was determined on the basis that $1 can help connect a child with up to 10 nutritious meals, which is, in turn, based on the individual experiences of Share Our Strength's grant recipients. It is provided to illustrate how community investments can be used to help end childhood hunger. Each contribution made to Share Our Strength represents a contribution to its original mission. Donations will be used to reach the highest number of children facing hunger in America. Share Our Strength is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

Country Charm Bed and Breakfast, located in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, is the perfect place for a quiet retreat. It sits on five wooded acres that were once part of a plantation, and has a four-acre private stocked fishing lake. It's surrounded by nature, but is only minutes from world famous Cajun restaurants for excellent dining, music and dancing.
Innkeeper Eric Gassiott kindly took the time to answer the following questions about why he loves being an innkeeper, the history of his inn, and what makes Breaux Bridge so special.
1. What do you enjoy most about being an innkeeper?We enjoy meeting new people from all around the world and introducing them to the history, culture, music, and food that make Louisiana famous. 2. How long have you been an innkeeper?We have been innkeepers for five years now, and enjoy all aspects of the B&B lifestyle--especially as we have made many friends that return a couple times a year. 3. What was your inspiration for your inn? Did you have a certain vision for it?Our inspiration is in our location--we are "tucked away" at the end of a country road, surrounded by historic live oaks, a scenic pond, beautiful flowers--just an escape from the every day "hustle-and-bustle." People love feeling close to nature when they come visit us. Of course, we are close to a variety of sites and restaurants that visitors are sure to enjoy, too.
4. Why did you choose this inn and this city?As Breaux Bridge is the city where I spent most of my childhood, I know that it is rich in history and culture and that the people here are warm and friendly. For the truest experience of "joie de vivre" (joy of living), Breaux Bridge is the place to come and experience Louisiana from the Cajun perspective. When my wife and I discovered this property, we realized that it was a little slice of paradise and that places like this one don't come around often. It was purchased several weeks later! 5. What sets your B&B apart from others?Our amenities for guests are plentiful and our property is simply gorgeous! Whether you choose to lounge under the oaks, have a bonfire with the family, utilize our newly-constructed outdoor kitchen pavilion for visiting and dining, take a canoe ride, go fishing, or to just walk around the property and watch the owls and birds in their natural habitat, you are sure to find delight and relaxation in Country Charm.
6. Why do you think travelers should choose B&Bs over hotels?To gain a greater understanding of our area, we highly recommend choosing a B&B--especially Country Charm! Getting to meet locals from the area who can provide guests with favorite places to visit and dine cannot be matched at a busy hotel. The pace is more relaxed at a B&B and you receive greater attention. Our rooms are comfortable and guests tell us how "at home" they feel while visiting us.
7. Does your B&B have any special history?Our B&B is located on property that was once part of a large sugarcane plantation called the Magenta Plantation. Our home sits underneath several protected live oaks dated over 250 years old and recorded in the Live Oak Society. Our private home was built in 1832 and was moved from Lafayette to Breaux Bridge in the late seventies. While our home has experienced some remodeling, the facade of the home is a great example of a traditional, Acadian-style home. 8. What makes your town worth visiting—are there any interesting local attractions or activities?Breaux Bridge is the Crawfish Capital of the World and home of the World Famous Crawfish Festival. It is a nice little down town with antique shopping and small cafes. There are many great restaurants where you can enjoy the authentic Cajun cooking and hear music being performed. Many of our guests enjoy going on swamp tours at Lake Martin and visiting Avery Island. 9. Do you have any food specialties (for breakfast or otherwise)?We offer a generous continental breakfast in the rooms and are happy to accommodate travelers with certain preferences. And for the guests that do not want breakfast, we can gladly make separate pricing arrangements. 10. Do you have any special offers coming up?We always offer military discounts of 10% and we are open to discussing pricing arrangements for people with longer stays.

A Successful Transition Back to Veterans Affairs
There are a number of steps that veterans can take to ease their transition from military to civilian and academic life. Among the recommendations to facilitate a successful transition to civilian and academic lives are:
Establish and maintain relationships with both fellow students and college faculty/ staff. Combat experiences often leave veterans feeling alienated from others, and they must make intentional, active efforts to connect with others on campus. Getting involved with clubs and organized activities can break down walls and connect the veteran with others having similar interests.
Work to reestablish relationships and renegotiate roles with family members. Deployment causes a void within the family system that is typically filled by others adopting new roles and taking on new responsibilities. While both returning veterans and family members eagerly anticipate their reunion, changes in the family structure that have occurred during the deployment period often lead to unanticipated stresses and challenges. Veterans and family members must reexamine how responsibilities will now be divided and communicate openly about roles they want or do not want to play.
Understand that emotional control requires both holding in and expressing emotions. Contrary to norms on the battlefield, articulating and showing emotions does not indicate weakness and is critical to sustaining meaningful personal relationships in civilian life.
Reestablish or find a meaning and purpose in life apart from military service. The clear meaning and purpose that characterize a war zone is lost in civilian life. Make an effort to identify important values and passions and consider how they might guide daily choices and commitments. Seek spiritual fulfillment through prayer, meditation, religious practice, volunteer work, etc. Faith practices are often an important source of strength and resilience.
Develop good academic habits. Start with a manageable course load and set reasonable goals. Go to class and take comprehensive notes to improve focus on course materials and lectures. Establish a daily schedule to maximize organization.
Take advantage of academic and personal services available to CCNY students. Among the departments that provide services related to the common needs of veteran students are:
Career & Academic Planning: www.ccnycareercenter.org/
Wellness and Counseling Center: www1.ccny.cuny.edu/current/student/wellness/
Testing Center: www1.ccny.cuny.edu/current/testing/
Academic Advising: www1.ccny.cuny.edu/ci/gateway/index.cfm
Student Life: www1.ccny.cuny.edu/current/student/welcome/
Disability Services: www.ccny.cuny.edu/student_affairs/Disabilities/default.html
Veteran's Affairs: www1.ccny.cuny.edu/current/student/services/veterans/
Student Government: www1.ccny.cuny.edu/current/students/life/government.cfm
Pay attention to physical well-being. Eat well-balanced meals, get plenty of rest, and build physical activity into daily life.
Seek balance in life. The experience of combat can make veterans jaded and pessimistic. Balance that viewpoint by focusing on people and events which are meaningful, comforting, and encouraging.
Limit use of alcohol and illegal substances. Use of these substances increases the likelihood of depression, insomnia, relationship problems, academic difficulties, legal troubles and a host of other negative issues.
Appreciate a sense of humor in yourself and others. Humor relieves stress, produces body chemicals that improve mood, and helps us to gain a more balanced perspective. Do not postpone joy and laughter should they come your way.
Limit exposure to war-related news reports (e.g., news channels, newspapers, Web sites, etc.). While keeping informed of developments is important, the 24/7 media machine typically ignores stories of heroism, resilience, and sacrifice and instead focuses on the most horrific images and troubling accounts.
M Prepare an answer to questions about your war experience. Most veterans have some difficulty sharing what happened in combat and the toll that those experiences had on them. Prepare a brief response for acquaintances and a lengthier answer for close family members and friends.
Connect with other veterans. Veterans often report that the friendship and support of other veterans is critical to effectively transitioning to civilian life. Other veterans have an intuitive understanding of the experience and impact of being in combat and of the additional challenges that veteran students face on college campuses.
Grieve for and honor those who did not make it back. It is important for veterans to grieve the loss of friends and to experience and work through the emotions that are understandably attached to these losses. Work to live a life worthy of the ultimate sacrifice made by fallen comrades.

New Paris Enterprises Incorporated founded the Valor name in 1982 as a builder of camping trailers. Ranging from 11 to 20 feet in length, Valor camping trailers could comfortably sleep up to eight occupants for a weekend getaway. Also focused on the construction of truck campers from the mid-1980s through to the 1990s, Valor briefly produced a unique fifth wheel trailer that possessed a roof that could be lowered by two feet for less wind resistance during transport. Valor ended production after the 1996 model year.
