18 Tie-Dye Techniques
Our Favorite Tie Dye Techniques
Some tie dye designs require expensive supplies, but not this project. Use a fork to create an unexpected look and one-of-a-kind design. Batik styles are cool because you can create then using wax and dye, as opposed to simply using dye. If you have tie dye ideas you have always wanted to try, now is the time to work on them!
In this case, "x" really does mark the spot. Your tie dye projects will be right on target when you create some bullseye designs. These projects are simple to create and don't require a great deal of expertise. You can also customize the tie dye designs for a variety of occasions, making them perfect for any occasion.
Eyeball Halloween Costume and Bag
Think all tie dye techniques are super complicated? Think again! This is style of tie dye is an oldie but a goody. For crumple tie dye projectsm you need to simply scrunch up the fabric and apply dye. This is a great way for kids to get creative and refashion their favorite white clothes.
By simply creating pleats in a piece of fabric, you can add a new dimension to tie dye designs. One the folds have been made, a rubber band must be used to bind the fabric. The overall look is cool and unexpected - get ready for plenty of compliments.
If you're out of rubber bands or don't feel like folding fabric, you can dilute the dye to add dimension to your tie dye designs. This is also a great option if you're running low on colors - you only need one bottle of dye to get the job done. Tie dye ideas don't have to be complicated, and this project proves that by using what you have on hand, you can make a project that really stands out.
Simply draw a heart on a white shirt and fold along the lines - that's all it takes to create heart tie-dye designs. This project is perfect for Valentine's Day but it's also a fun idea if you need a meaningful gift for a friend. When you make tie dye projects that have a deeper meaning, you're more likely to take pride in your work and want to show off your handmade pieces.

It wasn't supposed to turn out this way; it just did. When Jeff Skelton first teamed up with hot-rod builder Jason Pecikonis of Camarillo, California's Timeless Kustoms, Jeff needed help modifying his '67 Camaro into a killer street car. The to-do list called for an Art Morrison C5 chassis, a supercharged Nelson Racing 418-inch LS-series aluminum small-block, a full 'cage, and 1,000 hp on tap. But since Jeff's an anxious sort, he desperately needed another ride to hold him over while his Camaro received so much meticulous attention. So he casually mentioned to Jason that he'd like to find a moderately restored Malibu that he could drive in the meantime for local cruise-nights with his family. He didn't so much care about the year or the color of the car; it just had to be a serviceable Chevrolet musclecar.
It wasn't long before Jason ran across a clean '64 Malibu SS. It had a decent body and the original interior, and only needed a new motor. Jeff liked the deal and he and Jason set a schedule to perform a quick cleanup on the Malibu and install a new powerplant. Only a few weeks later Jason found a twin-turbocharged small-block. It made gobs of power (615 horses to be exact), was reasonably priced, and was ready to run. The scheme grabbed Jeff's attention when he realized how cool it would be to have two hairdryers under the hood of his '64 Malibu.
The following weekend, the guys lowered the turbocharged, fuel-injected 355 into the Malibu's engine bay and Jason began hand-fabricating the endless miles of plumbing in the engine compartment. Since Jeff wanted to be sure that the car retained its factory silhouette, a tremendous amount of work was spent to keep the turbo system and intercooler below the factory hoodline. Up front, Jason made a custom air-to-air intercooler that mounted nicely behind the stock grille. With so much wow-factor under the hood, it was only fitting to dress up the Malibu exterior with the right wheels and and bitchin' stance. The result is a complete Air Ride Technologies bag system with a set of Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Continental tires.
In less than a year, the entire '64 Malibu project sprang from concept to reality. Meanwhile, Jeff and Jason are still busy hustling to finish the '67 Camaro; Jeff's having a blast driving his turbo'd '64 Malibu. The one time we could slow Jeff down enough, he explained that he especially loves firing the motor up, listening to the throaty exhaust, and rowing the gears away from a stop. And to think, this is just the precursor to more good things to come.

The Largest Online Funny Card Store:
Your Source For Hilarious Mothers Day Cards, Birthday Cards and Funny Christmas Cards - Single or Box Sets.
How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb? Forget it, actually. It's a really obscure number; you've probably never heard of it. Dare to Laugh!
Allow us to extend the warmest of wishes to you, our Twisted Friend. Welcome to the Internet's only infinite collection of hilarious cards. Your warped sense of humor will be in good company here. Our stockpile of funny cards rivals Earth's oxygen supply, or at least its underground laughing gas, in that it's seemingly never-ending and you need it to survive. Without our humorous cards, and awkward sense of humor your paper-thin sense of humor will be exposed and you'll likely lose every friend you've ever made � in fact, all but your closest loving and loyal family members will desert you. Say goodbye to crazy Uncle Fred. Alternatively, you can purchase some of our funny friendly cards and your life will remain intact. The choice is yours.
Every day, while complementing our CEO's irresistible looks (dare we forget?) and enthralling, warm, and outgoing personality, our customers mail us lauding our ability to continually stock the funniest new cards a human, zombie or inorganic mind could dream up. These joke cards are so funny that you could read a single greeting or a character of text and keel over laughing, potentially losing control of your faculties. Fear not, though, as a complementary NobleWorks Cards diaper will be included free with all orders of a gazillion online card order.
Not all of the correspondences we receive are of the positive variety, however. Every day, we receive hate mail that would make our mother's blush. You wouldn't believe the mean things that people say. Our firsthand experiences tell us that there's a large population of people out there that want our irreverent, nasty cards to never see the light of day. Nice try! Our cards may be cold-blooded, but they're not light-dependent. So, if you're one of those people, think before you send us another piece of crazy hate mail that we definitely won't throw into a large bin with the words "Useless Trash That Doesn't Hurt Our Feelings" on it. On second thought... bring it on. We got quite a collection going which could use some fresh updated content. Just remember, everyone has a line. We never mean to offend, or hurt but at the same time pushing the envelope is what we do, and is what makes us unique, so...Eff them if they can't take a joke, or two. It's only cards for frock sake.
Joking aside, we even ship one printed-card, not be confused with e-card or e-greeting, orders for free. Cheapskates unite!
It's safe to say that we've got a card for everyone. And even if it was unsafe to say, we'd still utter the same words because we don't give a hoot. Imagine buying humorous birthday cards that will actually make the recipient laugh hysterically. When Valentine's Day rolls around, you can even give your special someone more than an unlikeable mix CD with the word "heart" in the title of each poem, along with one of the myriad strains of the human papilloma virus. Make the previous year the last time you'll ever give someone � anyone � a Christmas card without a scrotum. Staple it, hot glue it or just slap it on there and hope for the best, but for heaven's sake, get some balls and pick the right one.
For 33 years, we've made people laugh (and cry) with our cards. Whether you're buying wholesale or are looking for that one perfect card, we are here for you. Browse our naughty Christmas cards, a hand-selected collection of our sick Funny cards or go all-out in our vault of inappropriate Adult cards.
How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb? Forget it, actually. It's a really obscure number; you've probably never heard of it.

Eastern Conference Championship highlights | Sapong Season Highlights
HARRISONBURG, Va., Dec. 2, 2013 – Former James Madison men's soccer standout C.J. Sapong helped make history for Sporting Kansas City as the team will host MLS Cup 2013 for the first time in the organization's 18 years in Major League Soccer.

Creating a Solution for Testing Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum Devices Wideband modulation in 60GHz communication Overview
In wireless connectivity and communications, frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) is a technique used to reduce interference, increase transmission security and enhance the efficient use of available bandwidth. FHSS is used in applications such as Bluetooth®, consumer walkie-talkies and military communications.
With this technique the carrier frequency is rapidly changed across a wide range of frequency channels. The transmitter and receiver both know the hopping sequence, and cryptographic keys may be used to protect the sequence. In the case of military communications, additional encryption may be applied to the signals.
During product development or manufacturing, creating a viable FHSS measurement solution often requires two types of instruments:
1. A vector signal generator (VSG) that produces I/Q-modulated signals and up converts them to microwave frequencies. An external up converter is typically required if translation to millimeter-wave frequencies is necessary.
2. An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). If the AWG has two output channels, it can produce a modulating pair of I/Q signals that simulates the required FHSS sequences.
Although AWG capabilities are built into instruments such as the Agilent Technologies E8267D PSG vector signal generator, a high-performance external AWG is typically needed to address applications that require extremely fast frequency switching and settling.

MONTROSE COUNTY – A public hearing before the Montrose County Planning Commission has been set for Thursday, April 25, to consider a special use permit for a large gravel pit proposed on 250 acres of land nine miles south of Montrose, and one mile west of U.S. Hwy. 550.
Rocky Mountain Aggregate and Construction, LLC proposes to build and operate the Uncompahgre Gravel Pit on 247.76 acres of land it currently leases from Lazy K Bar Land and Cattle Co. The land, which is situated on a dry terrace surrounded by agricultural lands, is located on T Road west of Highway 550.
For the next 105 years, the applicant proposes to produce 104,000 tons of gravel per year along with concrete and asphalt producing batch plants. As proposed, gravel mining will occur in five stages. Stages 1-4 will create a pit 25-35 below the current terrace creating a berm and natural visual impact shield around the gravel pit. Stage 5 will take an estimated four years where that berm will be mined and in essence the terrace elevation will be lowered.
While the land is currently zoned general agricultural, under the Montrose County Land Use Code, the operation of a gravel pit is an allowed use as long as it receives a Special Use Permit. As part of the county's two-step review process, the applicant must get approval from the planning commission before it can get approval from the Montrose Board of County Commissioners.
The April 25 hearing will begin at 6 p.m. and will be held in the Pioneer Room at Friendship Hall, 1001 North Second Street, in Montrose. Members of the public are encouraged to attend and those wishing to speak will be given an opportunity to do so.
The application text and maps may be reviewed at Montrose County Land Use Office, 317 South Second Street, Montrose, during regular business hours. Written comments may be sent to: Montrose County Planning Commission, c/o Planning and Development Director, 317 S. Second Street, Montrose, CO 81401; or c/o email@example.com
Paralleling the county's approval process, Rocky Mountain Aggregate and Construction has submitted its gravel permit application to Colorado's Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. The public comment period on the state-issued permit is open until April 24. Written comments can be sent to the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver CO, 80203.

The ottoman looks just like the picture and the leather was nice and soft. Its a nice size and it would fit any style bedroom, den, office etc
Product was true to description, arrived in pristine condition and shipped quickly.
I was looking at poof's on Jonathan Adler and compared it to this one- same height and very close diameter. This has more weight to it than you would expect so it works perfectly for a foot rest or ad-hoc seating. SO happy with this purchase.
All in all, very good. A discerning decorator could note the differences in more expensive versions, but I think its great and will do well in a house with kids and dogs. Needs reshaping on occasion, but overall quite fine.
I ordered this Moroccan pouf for my living room. My furniture is a neutral palette so I wanted to add a piece that was really funky and colorful. This was just what I was looking for! It's cute, made really well, and is a fair price. A note - my husband, however, thinks it's really odd. He calls it a "dough ball" and doesn't understand the purpose of it. The ball is a little small to be considered an "ottoman" which is why I think it's more of a pouf chair/design element. I love it!

92 points- Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine. Gold - Houston Wine Competition. This wine defines the term elegance. Singing with a perfect pitch, it emphasizes first and foremost a distinct high toned fruit clarity. The challenging, steep, limestone terroir is reflected in the wine's rare intensity of varietal flavors. It has quickly thrown off its adolescent gangliness and now shows a sleek and lithe runner's physique. Starting with berry patch bouquet, the nose quickly develops a liqueur-like suppleness across the palate revealing a black cherry and black currant compote of ripe flavors dusted with sweet baking spices. Enjoy now or cellar through 2019. Unfined, unfiltered. Cases produced– 204

May 14, 2012
First graders at Greer Elementary School are taking a quick break from the classroom to make a special presentation to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.
During their "Can-do" food drive they turned in nearly 2,000 food items and raised $70.
"We just bring cans and food items. There's this 'Can-Do' box where we put all of our cans in, and then every Friday we go to every single classroom and collect their food," said student Aashni Shetty.
"They were excited because I think sometimes they think, 'We'll I'm only 6 or 7 years old. What can I do to help people,'" said teacher Alison Perkins.
But her students definitely found a way to lend a helping hand. They asked neighbors, family members and fellow classmates to donate all sorts of food like canned meats, canned vegetables, and canned fruits. They even kept track of what was coming in on hand-made bar graphs.
The piles of cans and are now at the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Their donation will help provide about 1,300 meals, and it couldn't come at a better time.
"This is the summer slump. Food donations are at the lowest. We really need the extra help from the community," said Michael McKee, Chief Planning and Philanthropy Officer for the BRAFB. "These kids are in school, but they're teaching us so much about what it means to be a good neighbor."
While they were at the food bank, the kids didn't just dump out their full bins and leave. They also worked hard sorting everything from green beans to salad dressing.
"We had to lift the box and it was actually a big box. We had to put all these foods in there," said Nina Alabanda.
Their hard work is paying off and helping to feed the hungry in central Virginia.

text: Anyone know how to tell what kind of ball end shower arm you have, in order to determine which adaptor to purchase to turn it into a regular threaded arm? There seem to be at least three of four different adaptor (american standard, gerber, etc.) Perhaps someone knows the diameter of the threaded piece behind the ball joint for the various makes? I'd take the shower head into a store and just compare it to the adaptors, but it seems like not many places actually keep the adaptors in stock. Any help appreciated.

This document is an older, unmaintained guide. There may be a new guide available for this software.
Many Linux server applications need to send email; cron jobs use mail services to deliver reports on jobs that have run, web applications require mail support for user registration functions, and other applications may need to send alerts via SMTP. This guide will help you install and configure the lightweight Exim MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) on your Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) Linux VPS.
You'll gain the ability to send mail from localhost through either a traditional "sendmail" style interface, or via port 25 locally. As this guide is not intended to provide a full send/receive mail solution, please refer to our other email guides for ways to implement such configurations.
We assume that you've already followed the steps outlined in our getting started guide. If you're just getting acquainted with Linux systems, we also encourage you to review our using Linux guides. Make sure you're logged into your Linode as "root" via SSH before proceeding.
Make sure you have the "universe" repositories enabled. Your /etc/apt/sources.list file should resemble this:
## main & restricted repositories
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted
## universe repositories

deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security universe
Issue the following commands to update your package repositories, upgrade your system, and install Exim:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install exim4-daemon-light mailutils
Issue the following command to start Exim configuration:
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
You'll be presented with a welcome screen, followed by a screen asking what type mail delivery you'd like to support. Choose the option for "internet site" and select "Ok" to continue.
Enter your system's FQDN (fully qualified domain name) in the "mail name" configuration screen.
Enter "127.0.0.1" when asked which IP address to listen on for SMTP connections.
Make sure you list your FQDN, hostname, and localhost entries when you're asked which destinations mail should be accepted for.
Leave the relay domains and relay machines fields blank.
Select "No" when asked whether to keep DNS queries to a minimum.
You may select either "mbox" or "Maildir" when asked about the delivery method used for incoming mail. While many utilities use mbox format, Maildir format can make handling individual locally delivered mail messages easier, and is widely supporting by a range of applications.
Accept the default "non-split" option for your mail configuration file.
Enter at least one external email address (choose one that you check frequently) in addition to "root" when asked to specify postmaster mail recipients.
Issue the following command to send a test email, substituting an external email address for email@example.com.
echo "This is a test." | mail -s Testing firstname.lastname@example.com
Congratulations! You've configured Exim to send email from your Linux VPS.

Policy-making in the European Union
Oxford University Press, 13 juil. 2000 - 610 pages
This new edition of the established standard text on policy-making in the European Union has been extensively updated and rewritten to take into account all the most important recent developments in EU affairs. The new edition is even more comprehensive than its predecessor. It now includes 15 case studies of European Union policy-making in a range of different fields. In addition, there are updated introductory chapters on EU institutions and policy processes, and a new chapter explaining the various theoretical approaches to the making of policy in the EU. Major recent developments examined include the move to a single European currency, the expansion of common activities in justice and home affairs, recent initiatives to strengthen common foreign and security policy, negotiations on eastern enlargement, and efforts to reform the Common Agricultural Policy. Core policy fields covered include budgetary policy, trade, competition, and the Single Market. Case studies of environmental policy, social policy, and north-south relations illustrate the range and diversity of EU policy-making. Two entirely new case studies examine the common fisheries policy and the struggle to develop a common approach to biotechnology. The expert contributors come from six EU member states and from the US.

Background: There remains a compelling biological rationale for both reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing for the treatment of tibial shaft fractures. Previous small trials have left the evidence for either approach inconclusive. We compared reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing with regard to the rates of reoperations and complications in patients with tibial shaft fractures.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter, blinded randomized trial of 1319 adults in whom a tibial shaft fracture was treated with either reamed or unreamed intramedullary nailing. Perioperative care was standardized, and reoperations for nonunion before six months were disallowed. The primary composite outcome measured at twelve months postoperatively included bone-grafting, implant exchange, and dynamization in patients with a fracture gap of <1 cm. Infection and fasciotomy were considered as part of the composite outcome, irrespective of the postoperative gap.
Results: One thousand two hundred and twenty-six participants (93%) completed one year of follow-up. Of these, 622 patients were randomized to reamed nailing and 604 patients were randomized to unreamed nailing. Among all patients, fifty-seven (4.6%) required implant exchange or bone-grafting because of nonunion. Among all patients, 105 in the reamed nailing group and 114 in the unreamed nailing group experienced a primary outcome event (relative risk, 0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.71 to 1.15). In patients with closed fractures, forty-five (11%) of 416 in the reamed nailing group and sixty-eight (17%) of 410 in the unreamed nailing group experienced a primary event (relative risk, 0.67; 95% confidence interval, 0.47 to 0.96; p = 0.03). This difference was largely due to differences in dynamization. In patients with open fractures, sixty of 206 in the reamed nailing group and forty-six of 194 in the unreamed nailing group experienced a primary event (relative risk, 1.27; 95% confidence interval, 0.91 to 1.78; p = 0.16).
Conclusions: The present study demonstrates a possible benefit for reamed intramedullary nailing in patients with closed fractures. We found no difference between approaches in patients with open fractures. Delaying reoperation for nonunion for at least six months may substantially decrease the need for reoperation.
Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
We read with interest the letter from Drs Sarmiento and Latta in response to our recently published multinational S.P.R.I.N.T. trial comparing reamed versus non-reamed tibial nail insertion in patients with closed and open tibial shaft fractures (1). They raised concerns about omissions in our publication, including the following: 1) no infection rates presented for all patients, 2) lack of radiographic assessments on fracture healing times, x-ray shortening, and malunions and 3) lack of reporting of knee pain.
The S.P.R.I.N.T. primary outcome, re-operation at 12 months was a composite including bone grafts, implant exchanges, and dynamizations in patients post intramedullary nail insertion and operations for infections and fasciotomies (the latter two irrespective of the fracture gap). Infections in both open and closed fractures were presented in tables 3 and 4 of the publication. We focused on only those infections that required an operative procedure.
While radiographic assessments of shortening and malunion and time to healing are traditionally important, they are less important to patients than are reoperations, function, and pain. Our article focused on what we believe is the most important issue in tibial fracture management: the need for a re-operation. Tables 3 and 4 provide details about the types of re-operations in response to non-unions.
Drs Sarmiento and Latta raised greatest concern with our omission of knee pain and related functional issues – these issues are indeed important. S.P.R.I.N.T. evaluated patient function at regular intervals up to 12 months after surgery using the Short Form 36, the Short Musculoskeletal Functional Assessment (SMFA), the Health Utilities Index (HUI) and a focused Knee Pain Questionnaire. We will provide functional and knee pain outcomes in a separate publication. As we stated in the manuscript, our JBJS publication presented only our primary outcome (i.e. re-operation rate) findings. We further referred readers to our trial registration and our previously published [S.P.R.I.N.T.] protocol paper1 in the first paragraph of the Methods section.

To the Editor:
We write regarding certain important omissions in the recent article by the SPRINT investigators, "Randomized Trial of Reamed and Unreamed Intramedullary Nailing of Tibial Shaft Fractures.
No conclusions were presented regarding the infection rate or healing time of the 1319 adult patients.
No data were presented on final shortening. Shortening after intramedullary nailing has been reported by a number of investigators. Bone and Johnson (1) reported 10 mm shortening in 5% of patients, and Hooper et al. reported shortening in 3.4% of patients (2).
Final angulation was not reported. It must have occurred, particularly in proximal fractures since this problem is well known to occur frequently.
Perhaps the most important omission was the failure to discuss chronic knee pain following nailing, and the response to removal of the implant. Court-Brown reported an incidence of knee pain in 56.2% of patients, and 24.4% patients required removal of the nail (3). Keating et al. reported the need for removal of the nail because of knee pain in 80% of patients, and after 16 months, the pain had not resolved in 36% of the patients (4). Toivanen et al. reported knee pain in 86% of patients who had a transtendinous approach, and 81% in patients who had a paratendinous approach. 69% of their patients had anterior knee pain at an average of 1.5 years after nail removal (5). Quraishi et al. reported that 93.7% of patients had anterior knee sensory disturbance; 96.8% had pain on kneeling. Twenty-six percent of his patients had their nail removed. Of these, 53.5% had persistent anterior knee, 89.5% had anterior sensory knee disturbance, and 71.4% had pain on kneeling. Metal removal did not facilitate the desired reduction of symptoms (6). Karladani et al. reported that nail removal resulted in less pain in 54% of patients but they were not asymptomatic; pain remained unaltered in 10.7%; and 25% patients had increased pain (7).

A lifelong golfer who has putted and driven her way to three Women's U.S. Opens while earning her way in to the PGA Quarter Century Club, course professional Dawn Darter knows the ins, overs, and outs of The Greens' stunningly styled slopes—as well as its recently renovated greens and fairways. During each 45-minute private lesson, Darter tweaks swing mechanics with exercises that incorporate posture, wrist motion, and diaphragm control for more pleasant-sounding victory yodels. Mentor and PGA Professional Life Member Tom Hanson is also on-hand to instruct golfers in new tactics for skimming strokes from long and short games. If you'd rather skip to the part where you hit a ball so hard that it circumnavigates the globe and clonks you in the back of the head, head to the driving range area with a ball key card worth 12 large buckets, or 576 golf balls, and spend an afternoon blissfully pretending that each ball is the unusually small, dimpled white head of your boss.
Arkansas Golf Center is one of the largest public driving ranges in the state with more than 100 tee stations, a golf learning academy, a 7,000-square-foot pro shop, and more. Groupon golfers can enjoy a Tour Quality fitting ($50 value) to find out what club length, swing weight, and style of paisley knickers best suit their particular panache on the course. Novice swingers and golf gurus alike can improve their skills with the V1 Pro digital video lesson ($70 value) led by one of the Golf Center's qualified instructors, who employ the help of high-speed digital video cameras and the advanced swing analysis technology of the V1 Pro Digital Coaching System software to break down swing mechanics. Arkansas Golf Center offers classes in various locations, including the indoor air-conditioned video-lesson bay and the 27-acre driving range.
Cypress Creek Golf Course slinks through Greystone subdivision, adding up to a 7,392-yard length that requires accuracy and length in equal measure. Designer Kevin Tucker drew up the course blueprint with aqua in mind; golfers confront water on 13 of the course's 18 holes. Players must clear a meandering creek on the par-5 3rd hole, nimbly avoiding it off the tee, on their approach. Both hole 12 and hole 18 take hard doglegs left around a lake, while the par-3 16th hole features a dramatic shot into a unique island green, reminiscent of the famous 17th hole of the TPC at Sawgrass's Stadium Course.
Course at a Glance:
Belvedere Golf Club, named one of the state's top 20 courses by GolfLink, eases the jonesings of club swingers seven days a week with its Bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens. Lush, sloping hills and stately trees surround the course, a 1949 brainchild of Hall of Fame designer Herman Hackbarth, who took care to swath each shapely dogleg in the finest of canine pantyhose. Whizzing hither and yon in electric golf carts less than two years old, players can take on pastoral obstacles such as greenside bunkers, water hazards, and squads of guerilla hobbits. From the tips, the course measures 6,767 yards, with a par of 72, course rating of 73.1, and film rating of PG-13 for some strong language near the woods and sand traps.
Glenwood Country Club challenges golfers with a recently renovated par 72 course before rewarding them with a newly furnished lodge situated amid rolling woodland. Stands of native hardwood and pine tower over 6,561 yards of bent-grass greens and bermuda-grass fairways, whose steep inclines demand more spin control than the tazmanian devil's presidential campaign. Orbs launch from tees cached in narrow chutes and triumphantly storm the peninsula that protects the course's signature par 3 hole. Players can leave the ponds, rock formations, and herds of wild caddies roving the verdant links to practice swings on the driving range.
The six target greens and 350 grassy yards of landing area at Mulligans Golf Range & Bobby Wilson Teaching Center bolster gameplay alongside swing-honing lessons from certified instructors, including three-time World Long Drive champion Bobby Wilson. Golfers can tee off year-round and in any weather conditions from 10 lighted and covered stations, emptying two medium buckets of balls (180 total) across a peaceful verdant landscape punctuated only by the sporadic encouragement of cheerleading Scotch Highlanders. Long-driving neophytes with dreams of golf-ball domination can rework swings and locate sweet spots under the tutelage of certified golf pros during hour-long lessons. Instilled with new fairway-conquering wisdom, guests can showcase golf and culinary skills alike as they line up their shots from a natural grass tee and pepper the greens with a small bucket of 45 balls.

Driving More Efficiently
Fuel Prices
Select the fuel type and enter your fuel price to personalize savings estimates.$/gal
Click "Save My Prices" to apply your prices to other pages, or click "Use Default Prices" use national average prices.
Drive Sensibly
Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33% at highway speeds and by 5% around town.1 Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.
Driver feedback devices can help you drive more efficiently. A recent study suggests that they can help the average driver improve fuel economy by about 3% and that those using them to save fuel can improve gas mileage by about 10%.2 That's like saving about $0.11 to $0.37 per gallon.
|Fuel Economy Benefit:
|Equivalent Gasoline Savings:
Observe the Speed Limit
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 50 mph.
You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 50 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas.3
Observing the speed limit is also safer.
|Fuel Economy Benefit:
|Equivalent Gasoline Savings:
|* Average savings, assuming drivers are willing to slow down 5 to 10 mph and fuel costs $3.68 per gallon.
Avoid Hauling Cargo on Your Roof
(New Information)
Hauling cargo on your roof increases aerodynamic drag (wind resistance) and lowers fuel economy.
A large, blunt roof-top cargo box, for example, can reduce fuel economy by around 2% to 8% in city driving, 6% to 17% on the highway, and 10% to 25% at Interstate speeds (65 mph to 75 mph).4
Rear-mount cargo boxes or trays reduce fuel economy by much less—only 1% or 2% in city driving and 1% to 5% on the highway.
If you need to use an external cargo container, removing it when it's not in use will save fuel and money.
|Fuel Economy Benefit:
|Equivalent Gasoline Savings:
Remove Excess Weight
Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.
|Fuel Economy Benefit:
|1%–2%/100 lbs
|Equivalent Gasoline Savings:
Avoid Excessive Idling
Idling can use a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour, depending on engine size and air conditioner (AC) use. Turn off your engine when your vehicle is parked. It only takes a few seconds worth of fuel to restart your vehicle. Turning your engine on and off excessively, however, may increase starter wear.
|Fuel Cost Savings:
$0.01–$0.03/min. (AC off)
$0.02–$0.04/min. (AC on)
Use Cruise Control
Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.
Use Overdrive Gears
When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.

Dear Friends,
Welcome to Gold Mine! I am truly grateful that you have chosen our company to be your supplier of organic and heirloom foods. As many of you know, I have been making it my mission since 1985 to source the best quality products for you – organic, vegan, gluten-free, raw, and kosher. I have always operated on the premise that if you can't grow or make your own food, then you ought to know where it comes from or who makes it. That way, you're better able to realize gratitude for your sustenance and take responsibility for your own health. Every day, bless everything and everyone with whom you come in contact. Live as if things will get better, and then they will!
Jean M. Richardson
Founder and President
Our Pledge
We strive to provide wholesome, organic foods at affordable prices. Gold Mine will not knowingly sell foods that are not fairly traded, or that contain genetically engineered ingredients (GMO's), are irradiated, or contain chemical additives, preservatives, food colorings or refined sugars.
Please see our statement regarding radiation testing for Ohsawa® and Gold Mine Natural Food Co. products from Japan here.

Point Arena
Occupied by an eclectic mix of long-time locals and long-haired surfers, this former timber town is part New Age, part rowdy—and always laid back. The one road going west out of downtown will lead you to the harbor, where fishing boats unload urchins and salmon and there's almost always someone riding the waves.
