The California Disability Services Association (CDSA), an association of community-based nonprofit and for-profit organizations that provide assistance to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, decided in 2013 that it was time to take a close-up look at the impact of the legislation 45 years after the act became law. It collaborated with the University of San Diego's Caster Family Center for Nonprofit and Philanthropic Research (the Caster Center) to conduct a focus group study exploring perceptions of, and experiences with, disability services in California.

Volunteering in San Diego: A Needs Assessment - 2013
It has been two years since the Fall 2011 closing of Volunteer San Diego, which served as a local clearinghouse and capacity builder for volunteerism in the region. The organization helped fill more than 50,000 volunteer positions at 700 community organizations annually. Though a variety of volunteer engagement services and tools are available (e.g., volunteer databases, volunteer administrator training, and volunteer project calendars), nonprofit and corporate leaders indicate that a gap in volunteer matching and engagement services now exists.

Knicks Want Shumpert to Get PG Reps
"The team wants Shumpert to get reps in Las Vegas after he missed the first two-and-a-half months of the 2012-13 season while recovering from ACL surgery.
The Knicks may ask Shumpert to play point guard during summer league. There is an inherent risk, of course, with asking Shumpert to play in organized games during the summer. It would be devastating for the organization if Shumpert suffered an injury, and the move to play him would then be heavily second-guessed."
Tommy DeeIt won't be first guessed here. I love that they want him to take a leadership role in the summer and mainly with the ball. We've been proponents of allowing for Shumpert to play the PG spot for a long time putting him in the best situation to attack the lane and draw defenders. Again, the Knicks need to sure up their backcourt by adding a player to help protect the ball.
Shumpert's agents reportedly wasn't happy with how he was being utilized during the year and this is a good step in the process in my mind. Obviously, you'd expect that they would seriously monitor his knee and his minutes as a precaution.

First time flat towing
My father inlaw decided to buy me a smittybuilt bumper and tow bar. I was pretty apprehensive about using it. Don't like the idea of watching my jeep rolling down the highway with nobody in it. But anyways with the help from previous threads from WF I put it to use and it worked great, I will be using it a lot now. He bought it so when I'm drinking at the lake he can hook it to his truck and drag it home. Great idea.
I flat tow my wrangler, and theres no problem as long as you're smart and set it up right. However with all the talk of how smittybuilt is **** I'd be weary about using their tow bar. I use a Reese tow bar and hitch to tow mine around
I use a Blue Ox setup to tow mine behind my motorhome. Works great.
Not sure the brand of the tow bar itself. The new bumper is smittybuilt
Do most flat towing folks use Brake Buddy or someting like that? Or just bare back it? Also, how do you set up the brake lights and turn signals? Is there a standard wiring harness to tie the Jeep into the towing vehicle? Or use a set of add on lights on a separate bar? Any help appreciated.
I'd spend $900 on a used car dolley and not have a cut up or otherwise altered front end. Just my humble opinon. I'll keep the ability to use just about any bumper I want and not worry about compatability of the tow bar.
Oh, and $50 on custom tire straps to strap 44" and smaller tires in case I tow a buddy long distance. Get a trans cooler if you do lots of towing, too.
I tow my TJ behind my motorhome. I use a Roadmaster tow bar/hitch system and a Roadmaster Even Brake system these are rock solid systems. They are both easy to setup/use. As for the lights you can get a wiring kit (Roadmaster sells them too) that uses the existing lights, diodes are used in line to prevent the voltage from going the wrong way when brakes are applied from the tow vehicle. You need to check your states requirments for supplemental brakes for your Jeep. Most states require brakes for anything over 1000 lbs.
Oh yeah one important note.....should the jeep separate from the towing vehicle the brake system has a brakeaway switch that applies full braking so the jeep comes to a stop on its own. Although I've never seen it happen....to myself or anyone else. But it's nice to have.

Organizations Celebrate 40 Years of Clean Water Act
NACWA, WEF & ACWA outline plan for the future of water quality
The National Assn. of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), the Water Environment Federation (WEF), and the Assn. of Clean Water Administrators (ACWA) along with local utilities and others in the clean water community came together to celebrate 40 years of accomplishments under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and to call for a new vision to ensure further water quality progress.
Representatives of the three organizations agreed that the CWA has led to vastly improved water quality and community and economic vitality in the United States, and discussed even greater financial, environmental and sustainability challenges that lie ahead. The executive directors shared their organizations' unique take on the future of the CWA:
"We should be proud of the accomplishments we've made under the Clean Water Act," said Ken Kirk, executive director of NACWA. "But to achieve the next level of water quality progress utilities need to be able to prioritize their efforts to achieve the greatest environmental return for the money invested. The federal government must also continue to be a full, long-term partner in meeting the growing costs of CWA compliance and infrastructure maintenance and repair."
"WEF is committed to working with our partners, EPA and other stakeholders to develop and promote recommendations for 'modernizing' the Clean Water Act. We need both the funding and the flexibility in order to protect future public health, create jobs, and support a sound national economy," said Jeff Eger, executive director, WEF.
"As we look to the future, we need to support states and interstates, so that they can carry out effective programs in collaboration with EPA and all stakeholders—and move us closer to achieving our nation's water quality goals," said Alexandra Dunn, executive director and General Counsel of ACWA.
Although the organizations offered different perspectives, all agreed that there needs to be a new vision for clean water in the United States to ensure continued improvements through 2020 and beyond.
Speakers at the October 15 also included Ellen Gilinsky, senior policy advisor, Office of Water, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Carlton Haywood, executive director, Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin and ACWA Interstate Board representative.

The Contribution of Occupant and Vehicle Dynamics Simulation to Testing Occupant Safety in Passenger Cars During Rollover
In: Safety Test Methodology (SP-1434)
University Duisburg-Essen, Faculty of Engineering, Chair of Mechatronics Lotharstraße 1, 47057 Duisburg, Germany (1999)
Buchaufsatz / Kapitel / Fach: Maschinenbau
In the field of vehicle rollover, the quantification of occupant safety provided by a passenger car has, up until now, been quite difficult. As existing test procedures such as FMVSS 208 and FMVSS 216 mainly aim at the structural safety of vehicles, there is a lack of standardized injury criteria for the occupants. The result presented in this paper are based on the experience gained during the development of a rollover detection system. For this purpose a large number of a rollover detection using the modular vehicle modeling program FASIM C++ have been conducted. This multibody simulation tool has been developed at the Department of Mechatronics, and provides the possibility to model complex three-dimensional vehicle models and include complex mechatronic elements like hydraulic systems, actuators, sensors and electronic controllers. Furthermore the occupant behavior during rollover has been studied. For this purpose the commercial occupant simulation toolset MADYMO is used. Various accident scenarios are modeled using FASIM_C++ and the subsequent occupant behavior is analyzed in MADYMO. By discussing the simulation results of various rollover maneuvers, this paper suggests requirements for a standardized rollover test procedure that focuses more on occupant safety than the existing regulations.

A woman who sustained injuries from last week's tragic hit-and-run incident during the South By Southwest Festival has died. Police say Sandy Thuy Le was hit by a drunk driver, who plowed through a crowd outside a club before fleeing. The 26-year-old Austin resident had been on life support since last Thursday. Hospital officials confirmed her death this morning.
"Anybody who had the privilege of knowing her would tell you she's just full of life," her brother-in-law told the Statesman. Le is the third person to die from the accident, and seven other people remain hospitalized. Jordan Valinsky
Authorities in Tennessee say an 11-year-old boy shot and killed his 8-year-old neighbor Saturday after she wouldn't let him see her puppy.
Staff at White Pine School is working right now on a plan for students/faculty in wake of shooting. pic.twitter.com/ld2OTEiYnl
— Heather Burian (@WVLTBurian) October 4, 2015
Jefferson County Sheriff Bud McCoig told The Washington Post the boy has been charged with first-degree murder in the girl's death, and the case could eventually be transferred to adult court. McCoig said each child had a puppy, but when the boy asked to see the girl's puppy and she refused, he went into his house and retrieved a 12 gauge shotgun that belonged to his father and was in an unlocked closet. He fired from inside the house, hitting the girl as she stood outside in her yard. First responders found her with a gunshot wound to the chest, McCoig said, and she later died at a local hospital.
McCoig did not name the children, who both attended White Pine School in White Pine, Tennessee, but Latasha Dyer told WATE her daughter McKayla was the victim. "She was a precious girl," she said. "She was a mommy's girl. No matter how bad of a mood you were in, she could always make you smile." Dyer said she went to White Pine School's principal because the boy was "making fun of her, calling her names, just being mean to her." After talking with the principal, she said, "he quit for awhile, and then all of a sudden...he shot her." Counselors are on hand to offer support to students and staff at White Pine School, and McCoig said his department is getting through the investigation "by the grace of God." Catherine Garcia
Now that the rain that pounded the state over the weekend has stopped, officials in South Carolina say they have to start focusing on fixing the devastating damage that was done.
"I believe that things will get worse before they get better," Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin said. "Eventually the floods will abate, but then we have to access the damage, and I anticipate that damage will probably be in the billions of dollars, and we're going to have to work to rebuild. Some peoples' lives as they know them will never be the same." South of Columbia, 20 inches of rain fell between Friday and Sunday, and due to widespread flooding, residents are being warned to stay off the road. "This is not the time to take pictures," Gov. Nikki Haley (R) said.
Across the state, nine people have died from weather-related events; five drowned after driving through floodwaters, and four were killed in car accidents, South Carolina Department of Public Safety Director Leroy Smith said. At least eight dams have failed, a spokesman for the South Carolina Emergency Management Division said, and there are "several others that are in the process of being over-topped," he told CNN.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said he's offered to return to the U.S. to serve prison time, but that the government has not gotten back to him with a formal plea deal.
"I've volunteered to go to prison with the government many times," he reportedly told BBC's Panorama in an interview set to air Monday. "What I won't do is, I won't serve as a deterrent to people trying to do the right thing in difficult situations."
After leaking thousands of secret government documents revealing NSA processes, Snowden sought asylum in Russia in 2013. Without a plea deal, Snowden could face a life sentence under the Espionage Act if he returns to the U.S., The Guardian reports. Authorities could use a strict sentence as a deterrent to other potential government whistleblowers.
Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has said a plea deal with Snowden would be a possibility, but former NSA head Michael Hayden told BBC he disagreed.
"If you're asking me my opinion, he's going to die in Moscow," Hayden said. "He's not coming home." Julie Kliegman
Gov. Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) signed a bill Monday permitting doctors to prescribe lethal doses of drugs to terminally ill patients who request them, The Los Angeles Times reports. California will join Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Vermont in legalizing the practice.
To obtain the prescriptions, terminally ill patients must be mentally competent and expected to die within six months. The law will be enforced 90 days after the state legislature adjourns its special session on healthcare, which likely won't happen until at least January, the Times reports.
California resident Brittany Maynard, who had a brain tumor, raised nationwide awareness of the issue in 2014, but state legislators didn't pass a previous version of the bill. Ultimately, the 29-year-old moved to Oregon, where she died from legally taking a fatal dose of barbiturates.
Brown, who once studied to become a priest, faced criticism from religious advocates — including the Catholic Church — for his decision to sign the bill.
"In the end, I was left to reflect on what I would want in the face of my own death," the governor said. "I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain. I am certain, however, that it would be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by this bill. And I wouldn't deny that right to others." Julie Kliegman
Top conservative blogger Erick Erickson is leaving his role as RedState editor-in-chief at the end of December, he announced in a blog post Monday. The departure had been rumored since August, when The Atlanta Journal-Constitution alluded to a possible "re-ordering of Erick Erickson's life."
Leon Wolf, a longtime RedState writer, will become the site's managing editor. Erickson, who has served as editor-in-chief for 10 years, wrote that he'll still contribute to the site and attend 2016's RedState Gathering. He cited his growing radio career as the reason for the shift.
"Right now, RedState is me and I am RedState. It's time for Erick to be Erick and it is time for RedState to have its own identity," Erickson wrote. "I think Leon is the best person to run that transition and make that happen." Julie Kliegman
If Hillary Clinton and Carly Fiorina were to face off in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup in Iowa right now, Fiorina would crush Clinton by double digits. A new The Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist poll has Fiorina beating Clinton 52-38 — a margin of 14 points. And while Fiorina was the Republican who beat Clinton by the widest margin in Iowa, she wasn't the only Republican to lead Clinton in a matchup. Clinton also trailed Jeb Bush by 10 points and Donald Trump by seven points in Iowa.
While Clinton is still the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, her biggest competition, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), fared better than she did against Fiorina, Bush, and Trump in Iowa. Sanders only lags behind Fiorina by three points and behind Bush by two points; in a Trump matchup, Sanders leads by five points.
The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus three points. Becca Stanek
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) slammed President Obama's plan to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next fiscal year, calling it "nothing short of crazy," The Associated Press reports.
"There is a reason the director of national intelligence said among those refugees are no doubt a significant number of ISIS terrorists," he told a crowd at a Michigan campaign stop Monday. "It would be the height of foolishness to bring in tens of thousands of people, including jihadists, that are coming here to murder innocent Americans."
But James Clapper, who Cruz refers to, has not said that. Rather, he's mentioned he's aware of the risk.
The Obama administration has also announced its plan to up its total refugee acceptance to 100,000 per fiscal year by 2017, a target designed to accommodate people fleeing Syria. As part of the September announcement, Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed background checks would be a part of the process in an effort to keep ISIS fighters from infiltrating refugee pools.

Alli is the first FDA approved over the counter medication meant for weight loss results. They say that you need professional help, and all the natural supplements are simply not proven. They talk about real help, a real plan, and serious lifestyle changes for real people. It is not meant for everybody. But when you use Alli, you will get the healthy way to lose more weight. With Alli, you will finally be able to get healthy control over your relationship with food. And it will help you in many other ways to learn how to lose more weight. They have already been restricted by the FTC because of what the FTC would consider FALSE CLAIMS! But how does Alli work?
Ingredients & How Alli Works
Alli has one ingredient known as Orlistat. It has been used in prescription Xenical, and they essentially cut the given dosage in half. When you use Alli, you get the only prescription fat blocker currently available. Why? Because most are appetite suppressants. But Alli is one of the only 2 approved for long term use. It has been used in combination with an extremely low fat or in some cases no fat diet. And they have shown 5-10% reductions in weight, not necessarily fat, in the space of about a year in patients using Alli.
Is Alli Effective?
Alli does not promote significant weight loss. When you are on such an extreme diet, the results will not last. But when you use Alli, you will find that you should be losing 5-10% of your body weight within about a month or less. When you use a healthy diet plan, you should be able to lose that much weight in about a month. Why is it taking a year is the begged question? Fat blockers have never been proven to be quite as effective as sometmight think.
Is Alli Safe?
Alli possible side effects include orange spots, leaking, sudden and severe diarrhea, and the need for adult diapers.
Alli is for the most part embarrassing. You eat one steak, and you will be pooping your pants and having sudden diarrhea. When you use Alli, you will find that it has not actually been proven to promote weight loss. And with extreme dieting, it seems to slow the weight loss process. Frankly, it may be FDA approved. But the fact that they have already been censored by the FTC speaks for itself, having to change their entire advertising strategy.

There have been lots of rumors surrounding the next major update for Windows Phone, which is expected to arrive in the next few weeks.
Although Microsoft previously confirmed that it would launch the upgrade for all Windows Phone 7.5 handsets, a few OEMs said that some of their smartphones would not receive the update.
The idea that their devices will become obsolete after Windows Phone 7.8 goes live made some users angry. Then there were reports that all smartphones would receive the update and everything went quiet until today.
The folks over at WMPoweruser report that Windows Phone Russia confirmed that the next update for Microsoft's mobile operating system would be available for all handsets. However, the final decision to offer the update to a specific model will be up to the manufacturer.
This means that older smartphones launched by LG, HTC and Samsung might not get the long-awaited Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade after all.
Although Samsung confirmed that its Omnia W would receive the update, other handset manufacturers, including HTC and LG announced that some of their older Windows Phone devices would not be upgraded.
The latest information comes from HTC, as the company claims that the decision to push the update to HTC Mozart is still to be confirmed. It appears that the Taiwanese company has yet to make up its mind on this one.
The same goes for LG, which announced several months ago that the Optimus 7 would not be eligible for the Windows Phone 7.8 update.
Most OEMs will probably try to offer their customers the option to upgrade to a newer smartphone instead of updating to Windows Phone 7.8.
For the time being, this is just pure speculation, but it won't come as a surprise if some handset makers will announce that their devices will not receive the hotly-anticipated Windows Phone 7.8 update, thus forcing owners to purchase a newer phone. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.

Does anyone know what salomon's acti-therm fabric is comparable to?I'm thinking its kinda like a powerstretch, very soft on inside and smooth on the outside. Just curious and figure someone would know.
Ditto. Trying to determine CLO.
I have a Salomon Acti-therm running jersey, it's most like a slightly thinner, but much stretchier Polartec Windpro, with a less 'shiny' but very dense face. Very soft and fleecy inside, good sweat wicking and dry feel. The high stretch, wind resistance, and mesh armpits (awesome feature!) make it a fantastic cold weather layer. (I also love the low profile pockets placed horizontally on the front and back hems of running jerseys, with their tiny hidden seam zippers, great in winter for the stuff you need to keep warm.)Clo-value, I wish I could help you. I can only say it's the warmest base layer in my closet by far, and I can easily wear this with no other layers (while active) well below freezing. The wind resistance makes a huge difference. I can't imagine wearing it above +5 C.
Edited by Islandized on 02/20/2013 14:40:09 MST.
I think the Saloman may be similar to the Ragged Mountan Stretch jacket referenced in the "The best clothing combinations for backpacking or hiking?" thread. CLO is .957.
I think the ActiTherm might have a slicker surface, but otherwise seems very like the Powerstretch. ActiTherm may also be somewhat denser, and therefore thinner for its warmth. I think. Maybe. Hope somebody who owns both can confirm, this impression comes from studying Polartec's website. Salomon's site isn't too helpful, is it?

Elijah: Month Six
Today you are six! months! old! I'm feeling pretty wistful about this today, partially because I really, truly, cannot believe how quickly you are growing, and partially because we tried to transition you to your crib last night and it was such a colossal disaster that we are all painfully exhausted all I want to do today is weep quietly in a corner. (In your defense, we did just about everything possible to set you up for failure, so I don't blame you for your reaction. And I am beyond sorry for how traumatic it was for you (and for me). You seem no worse for the wear today, which has eased my conscience greatly. Someday if you really want to get at me, tell me your behavior is the result of your parents letting you cry. Ultimate knife to heart.)
You continue to progress pretty spectacularly with your gross motor skills this month. You're now sitting independently most of the time, though you tend to get distracted by toys and forget that you still need to use your hands to keep yourself upright.
You are a championship roller…from back to belly. This month you mastered that but have pretty much refused to roll back, having done it only one time in recent weeks. You have also learned how to pivot on your tummy, but you kind of do these pivots in ovals, so you end up several feet from where you started without actually crawling. Speaking of crawling, you are woefully close, and have several times propelled yourself backwards a foot or two, which tends to make you angry since you're now further from your target.
Your sleep, aside from last night, has been completely awesome this month. You regularly sleep 7-8, sometimes 9 hours a stretch, eat and then usually sleep a few more hours. Naps are a work in progress, but this month you've started stretching out your morning nap a bit, which is a welcome change and seems to make you feel happier too.
Your hair is really coming in a bit more this month and twice someone has commented that you're starting to look more like me. I don't see it yet (I really want to, though), but I do think you are by far the cutest baby there has ever been. I mean it, sorry to everyone else.
You have a new cousin now, who you are complete indifferent towards, although you did pinch her the first day you met her, so I'm going to pretend like that's a finger hug. I know you'll love Addie some day and you'll probably pinch her a few hundred more times before you're both grown.
You're now eating solid foods every night. You absolutely hated avocado with a deep, deep passion, but we're not sure if it was the flavor (probably, there was some dramatic gagging), or just the new experience. We'll try it again eventually, but for now we're pushing forward with new foods. We're going to start giving you some things you can feed yourself this month. Your mother is a little worried about choking.
Your likes this month include: pacifier thumb, pacifier, bath time, carrots, apples, pears, your swing, your mobile, your crinkly duck, rings, your tongue, your dad (seriously, your love for your dad makes me a little jealous), your mom, your grandparents and aunt Claire, and your bottle.
Your dislikes this month include: your crib at night, being hungry, being tired, waiting for your slow mother to get more food to you, getting into your car seat, avocado, peas, socks and when the kitties run away just as you start to "pet" them.
One day last week, I walked in the door from work and you saw me and let out the loudest, most joyful squeal. I cannot even type this story without crying because it was literally the greatest thing I have ever seen and heard. That squeal, that excitement is exactly how I feel every morning when I wake up and get to see you. It's exactly how I feel when I walk in the door from work or when you come in the door from daycare. Like my heart just wants to explode and I can hardly contain myself. It's constantly amazing to me how much I love you.
This month I also started going to therapy because I want you to have a mother who is present. I want you to grow up without the burden of my anxiety and I want you to be the first generation in a while that doesn't get saddled with it yourself. I want to help you be the care free child you deserve to be, instead of one with a mother who catastrophizes, who learns to do the same.* If there has ever been a testament to how much I love you it's this, because I have spent the past decade trying to avoid going to therapy and am now going willingly. Because I want what is best for you, for our family.
Your dad and I could not be more excited to watch you continue growing, to see the little boy you're becoming. We are practically unable to talk about, to think about, anything besides you. We love you in a way that cannot be put into words, but I hope can be felt, each and every day.
Happy 6 months, Eli. We love you and can't wait to see what next month brings.
*Note to my mom: this was not to imply you did this to me, just to be clear.

OMG. That is one adorable little boy. Love the picture of him in what I think is his bathtub. Happy 6th month birthday Eli.
That video is so adorable, mouth open, waiting for more nom noms!
And Eli, happy half birthday. As much as your mommy loves you, there are many of her friends in the computer who love seeing the pictures of you and hearing all the cool stuff you do.
Katie…i have followed your blog for a while but never commented before. I am dying from the cuteness and crying over the beautiful words you wrote to Eli. What an adorable family you all are. That boy is just too precious for words!!!
He is beautiful, and this was a lovely tribute to him and your love for him. I'm so happy for you.
I agree that the tub photo is ADORABLE! I was going to post that you *obviously* need to get food into this mouth faster, lol. He really is super, duper cute.
I also want to say good on you for going to therapy. It has helped me more than I can ever imagine. When I have days where I'm down it's unimaginable to think I used to be like that every. day. Once you find that connection with a therapist – it's magic! …and lots of hard but super rewarding work)
congrats on making the six month mark. It's a lot more fun from here out. It'll always be hard, but here's where the fun really kicked in for my kids.
Also, I love Eli's impish grin. I can't wait for him to start talking so he can let you in on his dastardly plans!

Mrs. Dolores Isaman passed away on March 24th at her residence in the town of Pierrepont while under the care of her family and the Hospice and Palliative Care of the St. Lawrence Valley. Calling hours for Dolores will be held from 5-8 pm on Friday, April 4th at the Garner Funeral Service in Potsdam, NY.
Dolores is survived by her daughters Linda (Steven) Meier of Skaneateles, NY; Lorrie Isaman and daughter in law Pam Belile of Massena,NY; daughter in law Robin Isaman of Hannawa Falls, NY; sister Bernice Moore of Rochester, NY and grandchildren Nolan Meier and Alton Isaman. She is predeceased by her husband Arland Isaman and her son Phillip Isaman.
Dolores Isaman was born May 3, 1937 in Rochester, NY to Andrew Nalewalski and Veronica Makowiecki. She attended schools in Rochester, NY. On July 14, 1956 she was married to Mr. Arland Ike Isaman. Prior to her marriage she worked at Sibleys Department store in Rochester, NY. While her children were in school she worked in the Honeoye Central School cafeteria. Later she worked at Wests Shurfine Grocery store in Honeoye and she also helped with home care for the elderly in her area for many years. Despite numerous attempts to retire, she kept being drawn back into the working world, including demonstrating products in various stores in the area. In 2000 she moved to the North Country but also kept her residence in Honeoye.
Dolores was a devoted friend and she gave selflessly through her roles as a Girl Scout leader, head cheerleader for the sports teams at HCS, cake baker extraordinaire, member of the American Legion Womens Auxiliary in Honeoye, and helper at the annual Childrens Bazaar in Honeoye.
Dolores and Ike were talented Polka dancers and ruthless Euchre players. They spent many summers enjoying the company of family and friends at Wescott Beach State Park and other locations around Henderson Harbor, NY. Dolores always had a bright smile and an open heart, and she never missed an opportunity to help others.
Contributions in her memory can be made to Hospice and Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley or the Special Olympics Area 27. Online condolences can be sent @www.garnerfh.com.

Morocco is one of two servals that WildCat Haven rescued from Reno, Nevada. Living in small, filthy pens littered with garbage and trash, we were thrilled to be able to take them out of that situation. Tanzania, the female serval, was in relatively good shape, but we found that Rocco had been sold with a broken leg, having never even been taken to the vet!
After returning to the sanctuary, we scheduled surgery with an orthopedic surgeon to see what he could do. Thankfully, the surgery was a success, and after months of rehabilitation, Morocco was a new cat. Unfortunately in 2013, he pulled his Achilles's tendon and our only option was to amputate his leg. He can still run and play pain free despite losing his leg. We are thrilled to be able to save both of these precious wildcats and give them a safe, peaceful life.

GET OUT! Egypt's President Morsi Flees Palace As Islamist Protests Reach Fever Pitch
Egyptian police battled thousands of protesters outside President Mohamed Mursi's palace in Cairo on Tuesday, prompting the Islamist leader to leave the building, two presidential sources said.
Hail Pharaoh! Protests Rock Egypt After Morsi Seizes Sweeping New Powers
Demonstrators storm Muslim Brotherhood HQ in Alexandria, pelt Port Said office with stones, and call for Egyptian president's ouster in Cairo after he is called "pharaoh," the new Mubarak for seizure of new powers.
Egypt's Morsi Seizes Unprecedented Power Moves Country Towards Dictatorship
"Morsi today usurped all state powers & appointed himself Egypt's new pharaoh," pro-reform leader Mohamed El Baradei wrote on Twitter. "A major blow to the revolution that could have dire consequences."
Pro-Mubarak Forces Cause Massive Riot In Egypt Leaving 74 Dead and 1,000 Injured
Security forces loyal to ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak have been blamed for sparking the football riot. The final whistle prompted more than 13,000 home fans, armed with knives, iron bars and machetes, to storm the pitch and attack rival Al-Ahly players and their 1,200 supporters.
Egypt Radio Warns- 'Camp David Accord is Over'
A leader of Egypt's secular opposition declared Sunday that the country's 30-year peace treaty with Israel was "over", despite assurances by the new military rulers that it would honor the accord in the wake of President Hosni Mubarak's resignation. The threat to Peace Accords comes as somewhat of a surprise to Israel, especially coming from the leader of a non-Islamic party.
Report: Mubarak Falls Into Coma After Final Speech
Egypt's deposed president, Hosni Mubarak, went into a full coma on Saturday night at his residence in the Red Sea resort of Sharm al-Sheikh, an Egyptian newspaper reported on Monday, quoting well-informed sources. Mubarak and his family moved to Sharm al-Sheikh on Thursday night following his final speech, in which he handed over executive authority to former Vice-President Omar Suleiman, Egypt's al-Masry al-Youm reported. The same sources said that Mubarak was currently receiving medical treatment but that no decision had yet been made on whether to transfer the 82-year-old former head-of-state to a hospital. Rumors had circulated earlier that Mubarak had fainted twice while recording his final speech, which was broadcast on state television on Thursday evening. Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq confirmed Sunday that Mubarak was in Sharm el-Sheikh and has not leave the country.
Egypt: The Cart Before The Camel
As an America I get chills watching the shouts for freedom in the streets of Cairo. I smile when seeing people who have been denied full freedom finally feel a sense of what Americans hold so dear. Within the shouts of Allah-hu-Akbar and Egyptian flags waving in the air, America will find out if we will retain an ally in the Middle East or if we just suffered a major loss.
Egypt Protesters Vow Massive New Demonstrations
You ain't seen nothing yet (with apologies to Al Jolson) Not only are they not going away, they have regrouped to become larger, louder and stronger. A clash between the million plus protesters and the Egyptian military is virtually certain at this point. "This will push the country to the edge of the abyss. Tomorrow, the army […]
Mubarak's Refusal: The Straw That Will Break The Camel's Back?
All eyes were set on the anticipated self removal of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. His speech was anything but a bowing out; rather a defiant, affirmative refusal to stay put; a refusal that will ignite a much larger fire in the seething hearts of the Egyptian people.
Mubarak Out As Deception Reigns
The weight of the protests has grown, Mubarak has caved and the Muslim Brotherhood lurks in the shadows. For those of us with freedom loving hearts, there is an uneasy, eerie sense that freedom will be the last thing that will reign in Egypt when all is said and done.
Shock! Saudis Demanded That Obama Support Mubarak
Saudi Arabia has threatened to prop up President Mubarak if the White House tries to force a swift change of regime in Egypt. In a testy personal telephone call on January 29, King Abdullah told President Obama not to humiliate Mr Mubarak and warned that he would step in to bankroll Egypt if the US withdrew its aid programme, worth $1.5 billion annually. America's closest ally in the Gulf made clear that the Egyptian President must be allowed to stay on to oversee the transition towards peaceful democracy and then leave with dignity. "Mubarak and King Abdullah are not just allies, they are close friends, and the King is not about to see his friend cast aside and humiliated," a senior source in the Saudi capital told The Times
US Warships in Suez Canal, Threat of Egypt Military Coup
Just as reports were portraying a calmer atmosphere in Egypt and it seemed that life was going back to normal there, a swell of new protests has swept across the nation, re-igniting the furious demand that Mubarak be removed from power. The emerging chaos has prompted the US Military to move to action and take up strategic positioning in the Suez Canal.
Mubarak Cabinet Meets As 'Nile Revolution' Digs In
Protesters, barricaded in a tent camp in Tahrir Square in the heart of Cairo, have vowed to stay until Mubarak quits and hope to take their campaign to the streets with more mass demonstrations on Tuesday and Friday. The banned Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement was among the groups that met Egyptian government officials at the weekend, a sign of how much has already changed in an uprising that has rocked the Arab world and alarmed Western powers.
Bloodbath in Egypt: 300 feared dead and 500 injured as Mubarak mob attack peaceful protesters
Thousands of supporters of President Hosni Mubarak today attacked anti-government protesters as fresh turmoil gripped Egypt. Backers of the president, who last night agreed to relinquish his grip on power, fought with the crowds in Cairo's Tahrir (Liberation) Square, at least 500 injured. Some rode into the ranks on horses and camels and wielding whips. In chaotic scenes, they pelted each other with stones, large sticks and machetes. The death toll since protests began is now believed to have hit 300.
A wake up call for America: stop pressing snooze
Unless you have been hiding in an igloo like Al Gore has during these frigid temps, most of us know about the events in Egypt. However, what a lot of us don't know is how this directly relates to America.There are three basic points America must understand in order to grasp somewhat of an idea of what is happening, what Americans should learn from the current situation and where we go from here.
Egypt Crowds Unmoved By Mubarak's Vow Not To Run
CAIRO – President Hosni Mubarak announced Tuesday he will not run for a new term in September elections but rejected protesters' demands he step down immediately and leave the country, vowing to die on Egypt's soil, after a dramatic day in which a quarter-million Egyptians staged their biggest protest yet calling on him to go. Soon after his speech, clashes erupted between protesters and government supporters in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, and gunshots were heard, according to footage by Al-Jazeera television.
Obama Losing Vital Egyptian Ally
Mubarak was considered to be the United States' strongest ally in the Muslim world, and it was certainly so for the nation of Israel. Now that Mubarak has all but left the scene, the world is watching to see how the landscape will change in Egypt. President Barack Obama has been working behind the scenes to encourage advances in human rights for the people of Egypt while maintaining alliances with President Hosni Mubarak. When it came time to take a strong position and speak into the crisis in Egypt with conviction, his stance was tepid at best. As events have unfolded in Egypt, Obama initially backed Mubarak until it was looking as though protesters were gaining the upper hand, then he quickly moved to the middle ground. Obama chose not to take a clear and decisive approach and in the end, this will have very devastating consequences not only for the people of Egypt, but for the region as a whole. Strategic influence that the United States once held in the Arab world through our Egyptian alliance is likely forever lost, and well as Israel losing the only Arab "friend" it had in Mubarak.

9 Reasons Why MinTTY is the Best Terminal on Windows
MinTTY is a fantastic piece of software that smoothes some of the edges of the Windows command line experience. You should use it and here's why:
- MinTTY comes with Cygwin
Installing MinTTY is trivial: just select the mintty package in Cygwin's setup.exe and point your Cygwin shortcut to
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -. The trailing hyphen is important.
- Sane copy and paste
By default, MinTTY copies on select and pastes on right-click, just like Linux. However, you can make it behave like a typical Windows application and show a context menu upon right-click.
I won't bother explaining how difficult copying and pasting is in standard Windows consoles.
- Resizing
MinTTY supports arbitrary window sizes, including maximized. Enough said.
- Works with less/emacs/ssh
Because MinTTY is based on PuTTY, it doesn't display output strangely when running emacs over ssh, among other examples.
- It's FAST
Anyone who has done command line work on Windows has surely noticed that, when a program spews output to the console, system performance nosedives. Sometimes, even the mouse cursor skips, making it hard to kill the program responsible.
MinTTY doesn't have this problem — it uses minimal CPU, even under heavy load.
- Doesn't bypass RSI Guard
Five years ago, I was diagnosed with repetitive stress injuries from programming. To make matters worse, I get obsessive when I work, and nothing can pull me away from the keyboard.
RSI Guard keeps my wrists and elbows pain-free by enforcing short, periodic breaks. However… years of exposure to RSI Guard has caused me to discover its holes. For example, native console windows bypass RSI Guard's protection, so when RSI Guard blocked keyboard and mouse input, I would quickly switch to typing in a console window and continue to work. Because MinTTY is a standard Windows application, it closes this backdoor.
- Closes even when programs are backgrounded
Open a fresh Cygwin and type
notepad & followed by
exit. The Cygwin console sticks open until you close Notepad.
In MinTTY, you can always close the window, no matter how many background processes you've started.
- Alt-F2 opens a new terminal window
Pure convenience: Alt-F2 opens a new terminal. No need to reach for the mouse.
- Shift-PageUp and Shift-PageDown!
For rapidly paging through previous lines of output, you can press Shift-PageUp and Shift-PageDown, just like the Linux console. Another huge convenience.

Sadly, the python interactive prompt doesn't play nice "out of the box" with mintty.
Otherwise, I love it!
Andy Koppe Says:
October 21st, 2009 at 1:02 am
The Cygwin version of Python should be fine. The Windows version goes into non-interactive mode because it expects to talk to a Windows console rather than a Cygwin terminal. The -i option will tell it to enter interactive mode anyway.

Good lord! I was looking for a way to make cmd.exe less sucky when sshing into my various servers and came across this. I've always found PuTTY a bit cumbersome, but had no idea MinTTY existed until now. It's fast, renders UTF8 and doesn't leave my curosr in really stupid positions if I scroll up the history. Bliss!

Thanks for the info about the -i switch. Saved me from a lot of searching perhaps :)

1. "MinTTY comes with Cygwin" Score: +1 for you
2. "Sane copy and paste" The dos console on my xp box has exactly the same copy and paste behavior as Linux.
3. "Resizing" My dos console also maximizes to full screen, minimizes to the tray and/or reverts to its former arbitrary size.
4. "Works with less/emacs/ssh" Score +2/3 for you. I ssh on my dos console using python/paramiko/pycrypto.
5. "It's FAST" Can you prove it?
6. "Doesn't bypass RSI Guard" Score +1 for you
7. "Closes even when programs are backgrounded" Why is this important? The command "notepad & exit" on dos works, only the sequence differs.
8. "Alt-F2 opens a new terminal window [without a mouse]" I use hotkeys to do the same.
9. "Shift-PageUp and Shift-PageDown!" Huh? Is that different from just pgup or pgdn?
10. Good article. I agree that minTTY has its charms. Ciao, Bill

mintty doesn't directly support changing ansi color mappings. but i found out how to get the cool desert color scheme in mintty!! Just copy/paste these escape sequences or add it to your .bashrc.
echo -e "\e]4;15;#ffffff\a"
echo -e "\e]4;14;#ffd700\a"
echo -e "\e]4;13;#ff55ff\a"
echo -e "\e]4;12;#87ceeb\a"
echo -e "\e]4;11;#ffff55\a"
echo -e "\e]4;10;#55ff55\a"
echo -e "\e]4;9;#ff5555\a"
echo -e "\e]4;8;#555555\a"
echo -e "\e]4;7;#f5deb3\a"
echo -e "\e]4;6;#ffa0a0\a"
echo -e "\e]4;5;#ffdead\a"
echo -e "\e]4;4;#cd853f\a"
echo -e "\e]4;3;#f0e68c\a"
echo -e "\e]4;2;#98fb98\a"
echo -e "\e]4;1;#ff2b2b\a"
echo -e "\e]4;0;#4d4d4d\a"
Set the foreground, background and cursor color from the UI. I suggest
foreground = 255,255,255
background = 51,51,51
cursor = 0,255,0

I've been using MinTTY for a while now, but wasn't aware of some of these features. Thanks for the article.
Another handy thing is adding a menu entry to the shell, so you can select "Mintty here" in Windows Explorer and open a Mintty terminal at that current directory.
For this example, first install the "chere" package in Cygwin setup, then add the following registry entries:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
@="Mintty Here"
@="c:\\cygwin\\bin\\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe \"%L\""
@="Mintty Here"
@="c:\\cygwin\\bin\\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe \"%L\""
Copy those into a file "cygwin-mintty-here.reg" then right-click and select "Merge." Done!
To remove the menu entry, add the following to a file, (e.g., "cygwin-mintty-here_remove.reg") and Merge:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Thanks for the tips!

Only major problem is that Windows command-line tools like the Vim bundled with Git Bash fail to work: https://code.google.com/p/mintty/issues/detail?id=56

Along with the Alt+F2 feature, you can use CTRL+TAB to cycle through the MinTTY windows you have open. So for folks who are used to using tabbed interfaces, this is a nice way to open multiple windows and move between them.

Are you one of many women who are skeptical about weight loss for a fear that losing too much weight will reduce the size of your butt? You may even be one of the "lucky" ones who are naturally thin yet still carrying a gut or a muffin top.
In either case, you're probably wondering how you can lose weight in specific areas like your midsection without losing it anywhere else, especially your butt. Since, the butt is partially comprised of fat this is an understandable concern.
During weight gain, your butt grows, introducing voluptuous curves that you'd probably like to keep. This is especially true when you have an apple shape, tending to carry most of your weight in the breasts, midsection and abdomen. Unfortunately for the apple shape, the butt fat is the first thing to go during weight loss.
Now, pear-shaped women are different, as they tend to have naturally slim waists and carry most of their weight in their butt, hips and thighs. Although pear-shaped women may also lose some of their butt fat during weight loss, it's usually not a huge concern.
Regardless of whether you have an apple or a pear shape, it is important to understand that fat loss may inevitably lead to a reduction in your butt size. While spot reduction is not possible when it comes to fat loss, I have a solution that will help you lose weight in your midsection without losing a significant amount of weight in your butt. My solution requires three steps:

I decided to add something for the Jew in the Arvut movement even though we aren't talking nationality here since a Jew is one whose heart is awake, opened to the truth and by the truth:
the Jew is in Israel because the HEART IS ISRAEL once it is OPEN; the desert within becomes the PROMISED LAND but it will FILL THE WHOLE EARTH and not be restricted to a tiny plot of land within it:
The Zohar explains that BINA alef shatters the mind/Malkut so the heart can be revealed: It is revealed as a pit, an OPEN expanse wherin is no water: The WORD (debar) is both the water and the Milk and HONEY of the Promised Land as it is confessed with UNDERSTANDING (bina) who now takes you from bina bet (pit) to bina gimel (the understanding of your nakedness and poverty of spirit)
only in bina dalet is the WHOLE revealed as THE PLAN from the beginning:
Rav Laitman brings the end from the beginning to the table and says ENTER INTO the reality of the Zohar but there is no other reality than THE ONE who started it all and will finish it all IN HIS PEOPLE who will be called Israel his inheritance.
the creator sifted Israel among the nations (within their natures) as the sands of the sea and the stars of heaven
now its time for Israel (the soul of this MAN) to be revealed both within and in the earth:
if it doesn't start within, the earth will not allow it.........the creator didn't make Israel to be a country.......but a people, THE MAN in Gods image and LIKENESS
Israel's KING is David (Beloved) the heart that is after YHVH's heart..........and makes the heart THE HOUSE OF YHVH

Fifteen seniors from Honolulu Community College's Fashion Technology department are busy applying the final touches to their original designs.
To pass the final test, each student needs to create five original garments for their individual collections to be featured in the school's big fashion show in May.
Click here to watch Moanike'ala Nabarro's report.
It's hard to miss Randy Leano's designs. Each piece commands attention.
"The line I'm showing right now caters to... for the stage and for film and for people who would like to be fabulous," said Leano.
Leano finished a gown in a matter of hours and says the skirt is actually a curtain!
"The reason why I used it was because I like the texture of it. It's stiff and I could achieve the silhouette that I want," said Leano.
On the other side of the room, we found student design Jacqueline Miszuk hard at work at her station. She says there's nothing like seeing her own creations on the runway.
"I want to pat myself on the back. I have a real sense of pride and ownership in that," said Miszuk. "Every time I see a piece finished, I'm so happy and so definitely proud of my work."
Corsets are front and center in student designer Randy Oribello's line. His inspiration comes from the Victorian era. Oribello says he takes the construction of his pieces seriously.
"I'm very detail-oriented. So, it's to the last stitch," said Oribello. "It has to be perfect. So when they see it from afar, it has be beautiful."
For nearly a century, HCC's fashion department has been pumping out budding designers -- even those without a stitch of sewing experience.
"When I first started I didn't know anything about sewing. I didn't know how to operate a sewing machine. In the last two years, I learned how to make my own collections, so it's very exciting," said senior Christopher Kim.
Kim says he wanted to try and modernize the classic tough guy look with his line.
"I made it with a detachable hood, so it just has that extra functionality," said Kim. "So, you can just take the whole thing off and it's just a regular jacket."
The big show is just several weeks away where more than 100 garments are set to hit the runway.
You can see every one of those student designs in HCC's upcoming fashion show Saturday, May 3 at Sand Island. Tickets are still available. You can purchase them during school hours on campus or call 845-9203.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 2 Finale: What Is Hook and Bae's Relationship?
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 22: "And Straight On 'Til Morning."
On the Once Upon a Time Season 2 finale (Season 2, Episode 22: "And Straight On 'Til Morning"), we finally found out what Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) and Bae's (Michael Raymond-James) backstory is. So, were they friends? Enemies? Here's the deal."
After rescuing Bae from the sea, Hook originally planned to turn Bae over to the evil Peter Pan shadow. However, after he realized Bae was Rumple's son, he protected the boy, bringing him under his wing. From Bae's POV Hook seemed like a good guy. But Hook had an ulterior motive: to find out more about Rumple and how to destroy him.
That said, Hook clearly became attached to Bae (he's Milah's son too, after all), keeping him on board even after he learned how to kill Rumple. However, after Bae learned the full truth — that Hook was responsible for tearing his family apart — he wanted nothing to do with Hook. When Hook couldn't win Bae over, he betrayed him, and turned him over to Peter Pan's Lost Boys.
All of this emotional backstory played into the present storyline: At first Hook made off with the one remaining bean, but he eventually decided to come back to help, and even claimed to be done trying to kill Rumple — and we feel like thinking about Bae must have played into that.

I have a Montbell Thermawrap hooded parka Men's size XL for sale, fits a little small so it would fit as a Large easily. It is in excellent condition, no rips/tears/issues, this is the lighter version from a few years ago. 13 oz compared to the new model that is 16oz. I have the down version and several other midlayers so it is redundant but a very nice piece of gear! SOLD. .
Edited by KalebC on 08/09/2012 11:54:36 MDT.
KC,Very interested, but before I officially pull the trigger can you tell me more about the fit? I am 6'2" and about 180 - I have the MB jacket in a large size and it fits me well with just a t-shirt as an underlayer. Do you have any sense of how much bigger the XL is compared to a Montbell large?
I'm 6' 200# and it is a perfect fit, not baggy at all. I have never tried on a large to compare. Hope that helps.
i am 6'0 / 185 and found i wanted the xl over the large if layering under

Mount Vernon, IA -- The Beloit College Women's Basketball team dropped behind early and fell 77-52 in a Midwest Conference game at Cornell College Saturday afternoon.
The Rams were up 13-3 midway through the first half and never looked back. They made sure of a comfortable lead with a 10-2 run in the last 2:35 of the half to go into the lockerroom up 39-17.
CC's lead was in the 20's for most of the second half until Beloit pulled to within 17 with an 11-0 run, capped by a Lauren McNanna three-pointer with 4:12 left. But Cornell closed the game with a 13-5 run to wrap it up.
The Bucs shot just 28.6% for the game, including 15% in the opening half, while Cornell shot 50.8% for the game, 64% in the second half.
McNanna led the Buccaneers with 10 points, moving her into 13th place on the Beloit Women's Basketball career scoring list, while Jenna Larsen and Laura Panicali each had nine. Lana Wieseman and Nora Polaski each added eight.
Beloit returns to Flood Arena on Wednesday night when they host Lake Forest College. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m.

Miami, Florida -- A new public service announcement against distracted driving takes a new approach to the problem.
The video, entitled "The Last Word," was produced by the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX.)
In the video, a mother and son are shown driving in a car. Both are impeccably dressed. You quickly realize they are going to a funeral. The boy even serves as a pallbearer.
During the graveside service, the boy slips away and pulls out a cell phone--it's face cracked. He plays a video of him, his mother and father. Clearly, the phone survived some sort of accident but his father did not.
"What we've realized is that many of the campaigns out there focus on the driver's perspective," said MDX communications manager Cindy Polo-Serantes. "What we're trying to show is the aftereffect on one's family--to really bring the message home so that we can help save lives."
The Miami-Dade Expressway Authority is a public agency of the state of Florida funded almost entirely by toll revenue.

We spoke to Louise Southerden, an award-winning adventure travel writer and photographer, about her recent trip to Bhutan. She gives us a fascinating insight into a country that many have not yet had the chance to experience.
After reading this, Bhutan is sure to make it onto your bucketlist.
What were some of your expectations of Bhutan?
Like most people, I'd had Bhutan on my "list" for a long time before I finally got to visit. It has that once-in-a-lifetime sense about it, which can also make it seem a little out of reach; there's also a perception that it's expensive - which it isn't.
The thing to remember is that the "daily tariff" of $US250 is all-inclusive: it covers your accommodation, meals, transport, your guide and driver, and entry permits to temples and national parks.
It's easy to idealise Bhutan too, to imagine it to be a Buddhist paradise populated by enlightened beings, particularly because it was cut off from the rest of the world until the 1960s.
Did anything truly surprise you?
I felt pleasantly surprised to find that Bhutan isn't a "Buddhist Disneyland" as I'd heard one writer call it; it's a real, evolving place and still a developing country where most Bhutanese live hand-to-mouth in difficult conditions, but are sustained by a love of their king, trust in their government and their Buddhist faith.
In other words, it's more impressive for being more down-to-earth than I'd imagined it might be. It's also incredibly natural: for a small country, it has lots of forests, rivers and big, big mountains.
What story were you most excited to come home and share with friends?
The thing I was most keen to tell people about when I got back wasn't a specific experience or place but a general feeling of ease I felt travelling there. It's often the small things that stay with me after a trip and on this one it was our driver, Tenzin, adding "la" to the end of whatever he said to me or my fellow travellers, as a gesture of respect: Thank you, la; you're welcome, la; good morning, la. This small kindness sums up, for me, what it means to travel in Bhutan.
Tell us about the food.
The food in Bhutan wasn't a highlight of the trip; it wasn't bad, it just wasn't particularly memorable - but that could have been because we ate at tourist restaurants every day and at our hotels every night. I do remember that there were a lot of vegetarian dishes (which suits me) and that although the Bhutanese love chilli they kindly leave it on the side of dishes, to add as one wishes.
I also remember a guide telling me that Bhutanese people tend not to eat chocolates, lollies or desserts because they consider sweet food childish.
Any packing tips or other advice for travellers?
- Warm clothes are a must, no matter what time of year you travel. The nights can get nippy, and you'll be crossing high passes it can be freezing even in summer (it's a good idea to dress in layers and bring a warm jacket)
- Ear plugs, if you're a light sleeper - barking stray dogs, particularly in Thimphu, can be relentless
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Travel sickness medication, if you're at all susceptible to motion sickness – the winding roads, combined with altitude, can make even the toughest stomach lurch
- ATMs now accept international cards (they didn't when I was there) but it's a good idea to bring cash in US or Australian dollars as backup
- And leave your expectations at home; Bhutan is best experienced with an open mind and heart.
Did you bring home any souvenirs?
Yes, in Thimphu, the capital, I bought a beautiful wool blanket for about $US20 and a silk and cotton scarf; the textiles are beautiful in Bhutan. On a lighter note, I was tempted to bring home a phallus keyring (phalluses are considered sacred and lucky and even adorn the walls of many farmhouses) – but didn't. It's also a great place to pick up Buddhist souvenirs such as prayer wheels and singing bowls.
Describe Bhutan in 5 words.
Peaceful, mountainous, devout, practical, kind.
What were your three highlights?
I loved the walk to the Tiger's Nest monastery - just the fact that you're spending half the day walking up a mountain, in Bhutan, with an ancient monastery as your destination, makes it a unique day hike, plus you're sharing the track with locals in national dress.
Another highlight was the all-day downhill bike ride from Chele La, a pass that's almost 4000 metres above sea level, stopping to visit a Buddhist nunnery along the way.
And third would be soaking in traditional Bhutanese hot-stone baths, where the water temperature is regulated by an attendant dropping fire-heated rocks into your tub (or adding cool water via a hose stuck through the wall of the bathroom!).
What time of year is best for travel?
March-May and September-November are the most popular months for travellers, because the climate is mildest then, but it's becoming increasingly common to go in the "low" season, now called the "regular" season in a bid to boost tourism during winter (Dec-Feb) and summer (June-August). Daytime temperatures are about 20-24C all year, but night-time temps can get down to -4C in winter, 2C in spring and autumn, and 14C in summer.
Is there much to do for adventure/activity lovers?
With all its mountains and naturally fast-flowing rivers, Bhutan is an adventure destination waiting to happen. Trekking has been the main outdoor activity since the first trekkers pioneered tourism in the kingdom in the 1970s, but other options now include cycling trips, mountain biking on hiking trails (I met a tour guide in Bhutan who carried his bike up the Tiger's Nest track and biked down), whitewater rafting and kayaking.

The Municipal Wharf was constructed in 1914, of more than 2,000 70-foot Douglas fir pilings driven 21 feet into the floor of Monterey Bay and is the longest pier on the West Coast of the United States (half a mile). Here's how to get the best of the grand dame on a wharf visit:
Gilda's has been providing the quintessential fishing-wharf breakfast experience since the 1940s. Choose from classic egg dishes, fish, hotcakes or waffles, and pick a window seat so you can enjoy the view of fishermen making their way out for the day, surfers taking turns at Steamer Lane and wildlife hunting for food. Breakfast ranges from $6.75 to $13.25.
You can walk on the wharf and check it out from land, but expand your horizons with a water-bound visit when you rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard from Venture Quest Kayaking. While you're out, explore kelp beds and catch views of otters and harbor seals. Rates start at $30 for a 3-hour rental.
No, you can't feed them, but you can swing by Marini's Candies for saltwater taffy or homemade fudge to satisfy your own sweet tooth. Then, walk toward the end of the wharf and peek through cutaway areas at the home of a large colony of California sea lions.
Leaving the waves at Steamer Lane to the experienced surfers doesn't mean you have to stay out of the water. Get a 2-hour lesson ($90) from Cowell's Surf Shop, right within view of the wharf. Even if you just towel-dry afterward, dinner on the wharf is casual.
End your visit with more breathtaking views on the beaches of the Santa Cruz coastline at Olitas Cantina & Grille. You know you deserve the fresh lime LouieRita with Herradura silver tequila, as well as any of a wealth of tasty daily specials—from light seafood to hearty meat dishes.
Jill K. Robinson writes about travel, adventure, lifestyle, food and drink for a variety of print and online publications. Her childhood summer trips to Santa Cruz always included a soft-serve ice cream treat on the wharf.
