Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Ford F250 Super Duty Crew Cab
By KBB.com Editors
Despite Toyota and Nissan's incursion into the half-ton pickup market, those who need serious towing and hauling capabilities still rely on the domestic manufacturers to supply them heavy-duty power, and no truck does it better than the 2010 Ford Super Duty. Constituting some 40 percent of Ford's F-Series sales, the Super Duty is intended to secure the most profitable segment of the pickup market. Ford stakes its claim to "best in class" with improved platforms, upgraded drivetrains and dramatically enhanced capability, particularly with the F-450.
Whether you're into commercial construction, agriculture or recreational towing, if you use a truck as a truck you'll benefit from the Super Duty's enhanced capability, refinement and convenience. And while the custom-spec car may have died a long time ago, the variety of permutations available from Ford's Louisville truck plant gives the Super Duty customer a chance at real customization, seemingly with more content variables than the U.S. tax code.
If you're looking for a pickup (especially in Crew Cab configuration) as a substitute for your SUV, you'll quickly realize the Super Duty's principal mission: Hauling things and people – not just people. To be sure, both Extended and Crew Cabs accommodate passengers quite comfortably, but if you're not regularly hooking up to a 10,000-pound trailer or loading an eight-foot bed with more than a couple of two-by-fours, you've overbought what Ford has overbuilt.
A new spray-in bedliner is available later in the model year, while the SYNC communications and entertainment system is enhanced with an application that allows users to get personalized traffic reports, search local business listings, and find the best price on fuel.
Driving Impressions In most recent redesigns much is made of a "stiffer structure." Ford's design team complies, with higher-strength front-end structures, fully-boxed front frame rails, thick C-channel frame rails and crossmembers secured...by, according to Ford, a "method that optimizes frame capability." The end result, enjoyed over some two hundred miles of south Texas roadway, is a truck offering the maximum in capability while still providing a full measure of comfort and control. This is a big truck but, from steering, to braking, to ride motion – enhanced by lengthened rear leaf springs – to interior quiet, the Super Duty impresses as one highly refined tool, and not merely a "truck."
King Ranch Trim
Constituting both interior (Chaparral leather) and exterior (PowerScope mirrors) upgrades, the King Ranch enhances over-the-road comfort with material, workmanship and appointment upgrades, adding immeasurably to the Super Duty's attractiveness. And, unlike some luxury pickups, there's no intention of appealing – overtly – to the Country Club set; this remains a work truck and not a work-in-progress.
Power Stroke Diesel
With its 6.0-liter predecessor, the clattering came from both under the hood and consumer websites. But with last year's introduction of the new 6.4-liter version, Ford has created a diesel offering more power (350 horsepower) and torque (650 pound-feet), along with a cleaner burn, quieter operation and better throttle response (via dual sequential turbos). Add a five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty for peace of mind and you've got a segment-leading package.
With the debut of the current F-Series, Ford established a benchmark for pickup interiors. In the new Super Duty the benchmark is moved upward in available choices, functionality and appointment. The XL interior provides feet-on-the-dash utility, XLT, Cabela's Edition and Lariat trim levels give the customer more expressive design and the King Ranch and Harley-Davidson packages coddle you in highly refined leather and wood trim. Lariat and King Ranch owners will enjoy dual-zone climate control. All audio systems are MP3-capable, so download your Toby Keith collection.Exterior
The Super Duty's corporate three-bar opening is flanked by expansive vertical inlets and topped by "SUPER DUTY" in big capital letters. The expansive grille is for more than simply show – it fronts a confluence of cooling capability for engine, transmission and the intercooler that serves the diesel's two sequential turbochargers. Better cooling means, of course, bigger towing. Beyond the imposing edifice are new fender-mounted vents, available telescoping mirrors and optional 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. When compared to the last generation Super Duty, the grille and hood blister provide the main visual differentiation.
We'll start at the front, where Ford has located a front step bumper – under-the-hood checks are made easier when the step-stool is built-in and not something you need to carry with you. In back Ford includes a hitch receiver – matched to each model's capabilities – on every Super Duty, along with seven-pin and four-pin connectors. Given the importance of towing capability to the Super Duty mission, the receiver is a standard feature any owner can appreciate.
Those intending to tow with their 2010 Ford Super Duty trucks will appreciate Ford's factory-installed TowCommand System. The system fully integrates the trailer brakes, anti-lock brakes (ABS), TorqShift automatic transmission and tow/haul mode into one safe, capable towing platform. Functional enhancements include a foldable bed extender, which improves load utility when in place and stays out of the way when not needed, and a spray-in bedliner. Accessing the bed is made easier – and safer – by the why-didn't-they-think-of-this-before tailgate step option. And for those venturing off into the Great Unknown, an optional navigation system should get you there and – hopefully – back again.
Ford offers three engine choices for work, play or any combination of the two. Base powerplant is a 5.4-liter Triton V8 offering 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. For those seeking more from the gasoline side of the Ford family, the 6.8-liter Triton V10 should satisfy, putting 362-horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque under your right foot. Finally, there's the aforementioned 6.4-liter Power Stroke diesel, infusing the Super Duty with both "tow" and "go."
5.4-liter V8
300 horsepower @ 5000 rpm
365 pound-feet of torque @ 3750 rpm

6.8-liter V10

We also bought a mini van around the same time which she really liked, but after buying this truck, she won't drive the minivan. She feels safe in the truck and there is plenty of power to spare. The only reservation I have about the truck is the ten mpg. Other than that I love our ford f250 4 door. We are examining the possibilities of buying a new one. Great truck!!!!!"

It goes up hills with no problems at speed limit. The highest pass I took it up was in Colorado at almost 12,000 feet. The truck is a good reliable work horse and has never given me problems."

Meathooks, Andy Warhol, And The End Of Spaceflight
I sat down with the intention of writing about all the things that are going on in my working life right now, and then immediately realised that half of them are Top Secret and not for publication on the internet. That's a shame because they're really rather interesting. What I can say a little bit about is the new book, which I've now started working on in earnest, thanks to the labours of a splendid literary agent.
I'm aiming to expand on a few of the more interesting themes that I touched on in This Gaming Life, particularly those related to the social and psychological uses of gaming, and the role of boredom. For a while there I thought I was going to write a book on boredom, which itself is a fascinating topic. The word first turns up in print in 1852, in Dickens' Bleak House, and then proliferates through English. What's interesting is that similar words appeared in a number of European languages about that time, and etymological investigation shows that it is, linguistically at least, a fairly new concept. There are words for idleness, isolation, and derivations of disliking or hating something that go right back into Latin, but the specificity of boredom seems new. It's as if it has evolved to fill a particular need, and as if modern life demanded it. We took boredom to peculiar heights in the 20th century, with some people even making an artform out of it (Warhol) or predicting that it was the whole of our future (Ballard), while the general public used it with increasing frequency to describe their experiences, or their state of mind. Boredom, punctuated by moments of extreme horror, is the Grim Meathook Future. Interestingly, the word "interesting" has also seen a correlating increase in its use.
Anyway, as I looked into boredom I realised that it's the reactions to the condition that really what's worth investigating. In This Gaming Life I basically posited that videogames are part of a complex response to boredom, but it's worth taking that a little further, since videogames represent only one of a number of ways we might deal with boredom, or avoid it altogether. I've realised that I'm one of those people who is seldom bored when left to my own devices, and that's because my behaviour is always to read, research, or play with something. When I'm trapped and unable to do these things is when boredom strikes, and how horrible it can be. The next book, then, explores wider, into realms of imaginative activity other than videogames, and gets to work on the rich tapestry of entertainments and distractions that we've created for ourselves. This week I've been constructing a piece that examines how a book, a film, and a videogame might all deal with the same topic, and how the technological differences between these formats changes both the experience as well as the subject that is being explored. Beyond that I've got some plans to look at how books, the moving image, and the interactive experience are all connected, and how the 20th century coughed them up to give us the culture we have today.
To take some samples from the text, it seems that book two will include such topics as: hippies and computers, the dream machine developed by William Burroughs and Brion Gysin, the weather behind Frankenstein, the all-time total number of novels published, why I am jealous of the protagonist of The Truman Show, why a space programme could be replaced with an inner-space programme, and what World Of Warcraft players and cyborgs have in common. And more!
Anyway, more news on those secret projects soon, and maybe even some extracts from the book-in-progress.

Philosophy & Apologetics Bundle, ver. 2, S (6 vols.)
by 6 authors Gurney, Robert J. M., Ross, Hugh, Powell, Edgar C., Got Questions Ministries, Burgess, Stuart, Rana, Fazale
Day One, NavPress, Logos Bible Software 1999–2010
Select a size:
Can both science and the Bible be right? Does it really matter if Creation was six days or not? Was Adam an accident of nature or a purposeful design? Examine these questions and more with this foundational base package supplement. Don't miss Edgar C. Powell's On Giant's Shoulders: Studies in Christian Apologetics and Got Questions? Bible Questions Answered, endorsed by Norman Geisler.
Key Features
- Basic, Scriptural answers to theological and practical questions
- Examination of the biblical, scientific, and historical issues
- Provides insight into how Christians can respond to the teachings and arguments of the Mormon Church
Islam: A Challenge to Faith
The purpose of this book is to present Islam as a challenge to the faith and enterprise of the Christian church. "But if we are to reach that world with the Gospel of Christ we must first know of it and know it."
The Disintegration of Islam
Dr. Zwemer traces the collapse of Islam as a political power in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as the inevitable effect of the impact of Western Civilization at the turn of the 20th century. Originally lectures delivered at Princeton Theological Seminary, the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church in America, and at the Theological Seminary of the American Mission in Cairo, Zwemer later revised and expanded the lectures into book form.
The Moslem Doctrine of God
Zwemer investigates not only the Qur'an, but also the Hadith (the records of the authoritative sayings and doings of Muhammad), as well as Islamic orthodox traditions in this concise and focused study into the Muslim doctrine of God.
The Law of Apostasy in Islam
In The Law of Apostasy in Islam, Zwemer uses the Qur'an and other Arabic sources to challenge Islamic scholarship that champions severe punishment—even death—for those that convert to other religions.
Islam and Missions
Islam and Missions contains the papers read at the Second Missionary Conference on behalf of the Mohammedan World at Lucknow in 1911.

TORONTO, Feb. 11, 2014 /CNW/ -
World Vision's President and CEO, Dave Toycen, said:
"With more than 600,000 supporters, we know Canadians care about
fighting poverty overseas. We're glad to see that there aren't any cuts
to Canada's aid spending in this year's federal budget and encourage
the government to consider increases in the future so Canada can reach
the most vulnerable children and families, many of whom still live in
unimaginable poverty.
Looking forward, it's critical that Canada continues to show global
leadership on child and maternal health and food security. Ensuring
that children and mothers get the basic health supports they need to
survive and thrive has become a mainstay of Canada's development work
since the Muskoka Initiative was announced at the 2010 G8 Summit. The
global momentum created in Canada in 2010 has contributed to countless
lives saved. This work must continue beyond 2015 and no country is
better positioned to do this than Canada. We know that access to enough
nutritious food is inextricably linked to success with child and
maternal health programs. Canada has maintained strong funding levels
for global food security-this too must continue beyond 2015.
With humanitarian crises raging in Syria and South Sudan, we also
encourage Canada to be a voice for children and families. Canada can
lead by ensuring that the most vulnerable are prioritized, calling for
peaceful solutions to conflict and pushing for humanitarian access so
aid agencies can provide life-saving support to children and families
caught in the fighting."
World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy
organization dedicated to working with children, families and
communities to overcome poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all

MONTROSE – When Sue Hansen and Terri Leben decided to form the Women's Business Alliance of Colorado, it was because so many women in business had asked for it.
Leben said there are no groups for women in business in this area; the closest is the Mesa County Women's Network in Grand Junction.
Leben said she would like to see the new alliance include women from all over this area – from Crawford to Ouray to Telluride.
Hansen, a well-known motivational speaker and business consultant, and Leben, a former director of the Montrose Chamber of Commerce who worked for years as a bank executive, will pool their own resources and bring in outside experts to offer their collective expertise.
To kick off the new organization, the women will host an introductory meeting on Feb. 24 at the Holiday Inn Express in Montrose. This first meeting will focus on using creativity to get through a tough economy.
"Never before have we tackled an economy as we have today," says a flier advertising the event. "We need to embrace new and innovative ideas if we are to enjoy the success we want in 2011."
The cost of the event is $50, which includes a dinner buffet and dessert hosted by Ginger Magnolia. Registration begins at 5 p.m., along with a cash bar and networking, and the program starts at 6 p.m. To make advance reservations, call Leben at 970/901-6761, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com, or log onto the alliance website at www.wbacolorado.com.
The cost of joining the alliance is $300 per year, Leben said, and brings many benefits, including dinner meetings, monthly educational events, educational luncheon meetings, a future women's business directory, free advertising on the website, and more.
"Part of the cost of membership is to bring in educators," Leben said. "We have one gal that's going to come from back East who's a sales guru to teach people how to sell in this different world and environment."
Women face different challenges in business from men, Leben said, because they often also have to care for either children or parents and usually carry most of the burden of household responsibilities, from doing the dishes to managing the family budget, in addition to running their own businesses.
Leben said she hopes that the WBA can help women with all they have to do and still manage their businesses in a dynamic and productive way.
Leben said she had started a women's group when she was heading up the chamber, but it seems to have fallen by the wayside.
"Since I left the chamber, there's been no women's groups, and a lot of women are asking for it," she said. "But we are not competing with the chamber."
Women also tend to ask for advice more than men – 69 percent versus 47 percent – which makes a women's alliance that much more valuable, Leben said.
"It's not primarily a networking organization, but that will be a byproduct," she said.

How to Make Pug Cupcakes
Make Pug cupcakes to celebrate the dog lover in your life. Follow along in our step-by-step guide, then check out the recipe.
Photo: Tami Hardeman
What You'll Need
Ready to make your own too-cute pug cupcake recipe? See the recipe here and follow along in this step-by-step how-to.
Photo: Tami Hardeman
Prep the Muzzle
Start with a lightly frosted cupcake. Fill a piping bag with vanilla frosting. Fit bag with a #12 tip and pipe an upside down heart on the frosted cupcake.
Photo: Tami Hardeman
Create the Mouth and Tongue
Press or roll out chewy chocolate candies. Using a round cutter that is approximately 1-inch in diameter, cut 3 circles. Set aside excess for later use. Cut one of the circles in half. Place one half at the bottom of the cupcake, at the "6 o'clock" position. Overlap the two full circles on top of the half to form the cheeks. Cut a small piece of fruit roll for the tongue. Insert tongue piece so that it is tucked under the cheeks .
Photo: Tami Hardeman
Add a Nose
Add one candy piece, or sugar pearl, as the nose. Or, roll the remaining half circle of chewy chocolate candy for the nose. Use a knife, toothpick, or veining tool to form the nose and freckles.
Photo: Tami Hardeman
Shape the Upper Lip
Using the #12 tip-fitted bag, pipe around the cheek.
Photo: Tami Hardeman
Define the Eyes
Place a small chocolate candy or sugar pearl in the center of each disk for the eyes. Using a toothpick, dab a dot of vanilla frosting on the candy piece to define the eye.
Photo: Tami Hardeman
Top with Ears
Using a knife or tear drop-shaped cutter, and the excess rolled chocolate chewy candy, cut 2 small triangular ears. Place one ear at "11 o'clock" and the other at "1 o'clock".
Dreamy DogsWhen your pug cupcake is ready to share, box up a litter and bring them to fellow pug lovers.

Glamping at Redtail Resort
A few months back I shared with you the "Rolling Cabin" based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Tom Hedges recently contacted me to share with you a new feature they are offering at the Redtail Resort.
Glamping, the new term being used for upscale — or glamorous — camping, is one of the fastest growing trends in the eco-luxe hospitality industry.
Glamour camping offers all of the attractions of camping – sleeping under the stars, sitting around a campfire, falling asleep to the sounds of nature, etc, while taking all of the hassles out of the experience – pitching a tent, lugging gear and food, sleeping on the bumping ground, collecting firewood, etc. It then attaches the comforts of a luxury hotel room – ultra comfortable king size bed, luxury linens, concierge and cleaning services, etc. Collectively, the result is a completely extraordinary experience.
It is our pleasure to introduce Tent City at Redtail Resort – an ultra luxurious wooded glamping community. Your custom-made canvas glamping tent features fine linens, art adorned walls, and, of course, the most comfortable beds west of the Mississippi. All luxury tents have electricity, cooling fans, and heat. Refresh yourself in your Glamping Bathhouse, which hosts 8 private, luxury washrooms, including rain showers, heated floors and indulgent organic spa products.
If you would like to experience this please contact Redtail Resort at 307-690-2495 and get all the information.
This also would be another option for tiny house living.

I'm sorry, but, Kent, why are you giving these people free advertising?
People like this take far more away from the world than they add in innumerable ways (not by any means the only one, but not least: who's willing to bet they destroyed a valuable wetland for this crap, or for the development that houses all those concierge?) They do not deserve endorsement.
—-Parrot whisperer
Uh, yuppies are people too!
Skip and Buffy need a place to wear all those Ralph Lauren togs (and park their beautifully restored truck).
—more seriously, I hear you. In my last post it was gently pointed out to me that most folks on this site are looking for the most economical way to build a tiny house. On reflection, I think that's probably true.
Still, its kinda interesting to look at what can be done with a tent on a platform, and the pictures bring up questions about what really is necessary (or not) to be comfortable.
Love the Glamping photos – gives me ideas for guest quarters on our own "mini-farm" in Idaho Falls. It also reminds me about actually living in a ridgepole tent as a child during the Great Depression. In fact, my Dad built a 16-ft. camp trailer and he attached a ridgepole tent to it, and we lived there 1 year while my Dad was going to college in 1943 – my Dad, Mom and me! I thought it was a great adventure, but can you imagine living like that at a college now?
Nice to see these people enjoying their glamping trip. Very nice, the tent looks like an attractive and comfortable way to enjoy the outdoors.
Makes a great seasonal structure.
Lots of points of view. We appreciate the feedback. Just to clarify our goals…this property has operated as a campground since the early 60′s. We've given it a facelift by offering a glamping option and a cabin option in addition to improving our traditional tent camping and RV site rentals. It is our opinion that there is an audience that would appreciate a pitched tent at a reasonable rate over an expensive hotel room. Also, we think a tent city is much lower impact than a hotel. We think the improved campground, improved RV park, new Cabin village and the Tent City will combine to produce a very attractive, eco-friendly, innovative lodging opportunity.
Loaded this article on my Facebook page, all my SCA and Ren Fair friends loved it since we all camp using medieval tents when we go to events so it was really cool to see a mundane presprective. For me, your place would be a good place to for reinactors, including the civil war reinactors to break in those family members to the joys of outdoor camping who think we are crazy and "roughing it" when we go camping on the weekends.
uh, Kent…bears?
Hey, if you are going to be eaten by bears, don't you want it to be whilst lounging on Ralph Lauren sheets?
Seriously, in response to posters above, I don't think it's an entirely bad idea. First of all, maybe there are people who are unlikely to camp without all modern conveniences available to them (or at least the appearance of). And, as someone who grew up asthmatic and allergic before the advent of the great meds we have now and who was rarely outdoors or exercising, and has now come to love outdoorsy endeavors, I think it's fair to speculate that unlikely candidates for camping who may take advantage of posh lodgings may be inclined to find that the woods are awesome in their natural state. Maybe next time, the Ralph Lauren sheets will not be needed.
Give peace a chance …
having spent a great deal of time in the great outdoors, I still have doubts about the critters. Although I'm sure RL sheets are comfy, I prefer cotton. When I lived in the Adirondacks, I had bear walk thru the property several times a week…and although thrilled to see them, was grateful for the logs between us. It's a beautiful setting, thanks for sharing with us.
How is all that light, not attracting a million bugs?
The tent have screened entry ways, which helps regarding bugs. Also, Jackson Hole is a cool mountain environment. This keeps the bugs to a minimum. That said, bring some bug spray just in case.
Do they ever get rain or wind?
Squirrels or mice?
Seriously, I'd love to see the city saps as they wake up to the sounds of a raccoon eating the snack the 'campers' left at the foot of their bed.
You better pray for good weather, that cotton/canvas will soak nearly instantaneously when it rains.
Nah, those tents are water-proof! I've camped in them during downpours, and it's true they will drip if you rub up against the canvas much – otherwise they're fine. Might have to loosen the ropes a bit if they get real wet as they tend to shrink up. At least the old ones did – maybe not so much now.
The canvas is stapled to the platforms, which does well to keep critters out. But, yes, there is always the chance a moose or chipmunk might join in on the fun. A risk we hope our guests are willing to take.
comical- love the moniker too…. very nice photo though! An interesting post too….even though the trend is a little ridiculous.
"Camping for wimps"
Camping for wimps
As a former infantryman in the 2nd Ranger Battalion and the 82nd Airborne, I've spent quite a few nights "roughing" it – sleeping under a poncho tied to some trees as a makeshift shelter, or often sleeping under nothing at all. I can't tell you how many times I've woken up and instinctively swatted at my face to knock a spider off that was crawling on me (North Carolina has a great spider population, including black widows and brown recluse). I've even woken up to find that I couldn't take a drink of water because my canteens had frozen overnight.
Roughing it, or being uncomfortable camping when you don't have to be is not profoundly noble; it's just kind of stupid. You can call me a wimp if you like, but I'd take this camping setup over a sleeping bag and foam pad any day – especially if I'm camping with a significant other.
Amen to that!
"Camping for wimps" – lol. I wonder why they didn't think of that?
I think this is just ridiculous. People who want to live/sleep like that don't want to deal with the reality of tent camping.
"Just get a room" as they say.
Many of the state campgrounds have followed the trend set by the RV parks and started offering cabins to wilderness wimps. Often those things are booked solid.
A real structure here would probably boost biz 10 fold.
Hey Deek why are these tent trends so ridiculous?
More interesting than most of your posts.
Yeowch- some touchy folks here I guess…
My "camping for wimps" comment was meant to be a joke- nothing more, I NEVER thought people would take actual offense. Zero true-offense was meant- honestly.
These threads are getting catty here and there. What gives? Full moon? And I did comment on how nice the photos were for the record….AND have bookmarked it to possibly include architecturally/photo-wise in my book.
And "Bob H"? C'mon now…lol….
Sorry to cause an inadvertent, negative stir Kent…
Anything coming out on election day or the day after, well…..you get the idea.
And the point of taking a dig at Deek is … ?
I will never get people. Deek, thanks for all you contribute to the small house movement and your posts here. I like you just fine and have learned a lot from you. (But I do like my dogs better than most people, Bob H. just one case in point.)
Life is short and we are dead a long time. Be nice, children.
Agreed (Irene n' Drue)- Thanks
Full moons, Election Day, Tax Day, n' Black Friday…I'll be sure not to post anything 'round those- lol.
I may not choose to vacation this way, but I appreciate the aesthetics and find the simplicity of their tent spaces inspiring. (regardless of economics) thanks for the post!
OMG These bad people even have a dog and a pick up truck. Just kidding
I find this disgusting to say the least! People have become such marshmallows that they can't even stand a little inconvenience and need their every need and want attended.
And as far as a good idea for a small house? How do you get that? It would cost a mint just to heat/cool something like that as a full time living idea, not to mention dangerous if placed in a wildlife area!
Well, we used to backpack and rough it, but very content to be a "marshmallow" now at our age: 77 and 89! That bed looks dang comfortable to us, and I think it would be a great treat to have those sheets!
Not my kind of camping, but why shouldn't somebody enjoy this if that's what they want? I too wonder about where the bugs are! No way I'd leave the tent door open without a net! Tiny house politics is an 'interesting' area. I'm glad to see that all sorts of options are covered, regardless of whether they address particular economic issues. One good thing about glamping is it's land use that would be more likely to promote some form of conservation and leaves fewer permanent structures than many other types of resort.
who is to say that this will replace traditional resorts? In the world of the rich, new trends are picked up and discarded quickly. After a few years, all these 'glamping' sites will sit idle as cruise lines come back into fashion.
Why should it 'replace' anything? Big developers will always find a way to set up their version of Xanadu and get rich doing it. Setting up a little glamping spot might help some farmers or other smallholders make it through hard times if they have an appropriate spot. It's just another B&B option when you get right down to it. There are treehouse, boat and all kinds of 'oddball' lodgings out there, this is just another one.
If you live in the West – where this Glamping tent is located – you really don't have many bugs at night! Might have a few mosquitoes occasionally, but we don't have the bugs people do in the East and South! I live in Idaho Falls – about 45 minutes from this Glamping spot – and our summer evenings outdoors are great! Incidentally, I think there is a net at the front of this tent, if you look closely – it's pulled back.
I have to admit I am a bit offended by some of the comments here today. It would appear that there is some sort of litmus test or other criteria that limits ones enjoyment of the outdoors. To exclude a certain style based upon bias or prejudice is simply wrong. How are we to persuade people to embrace a minimalist lifestyle if we immediately dismiss them because they don't fit the cookie-cutter, granola-eating, patchouli-smelling, shower-needing hippie? How does it feel to be grouped and judged unfairly? I think a space like this looks great and would make a very fair weather yurt-style space in a back yard. Thanks for the pic's and story…
This has nothing to do with minimalist lifestyle. Name-brand bedding? Not having to do ANY work while camping? This is just more playtime for those who can afford it and provides no insight on how to re-think one's way of living.
So what? Let them contribute to the economy!
I can't believe the hostile comments towards a simple post that Kent was just making us
aware of… "wetland destroyers",… "disgusting" … "ridiculous"… (I won't quote wimp because Deek is cool). Josh makes a very valid point. Some people like to sleep without having their back in traction the next morning and want to smell the fresh air. Let's get worked up about things that matter instead of a little tent and some Ralph Lauren sheets (they neglected to mention thread count).
Thanks for the sensible comment! I liked the thread count part too!!
to add it is a staged photo meant to advertise. just like the shiny apples or perfect banana's in the grocery ad or the fast food burger. i mean really, a cowboy with clean boots drinking red wine out of a long stemmed glass? a young child with no dirt stains on the knees. rover not out chasing a squirrel. looks like a photshop fire to me. and just who's boots are at the foot of the bed? both adults have theirs on. perhaps it is the photographer. but then again, where will he/she sleep? is this a family bed? enough of picking it apart. i'd hang out there for a day if i could.
I suppose that this is a luxurious way to camp. If I had my way I would bring my bed with me when I camp otherwise I get pretty cranky because my back will not let me sleep otherwise. I can see the allure that this picture gives. Don't get me wrong, I love tent camping, but sleeping (I mean REALLY sleeping, not dozing) in a real bed with the critters walking around your tent is appealing. All the great things about camping but with a comfy place to sleep so you can enjoy all the parts of nature every day with every part of your body! Nice post Kent!!
I am with the post about all that light bringing bugs, like mosquitos and if this was the northeast, gnats. It is a beautiful picture and I hope the people who are running it found a way to take care of all of nature that is annoying. I don't see any screens! good luck at least it is not a class A!
Actually this kind of camping has been probably been around for as long as there have been people sleeping away from home base. Safaris and merchant caravans surely had all the latest comforts of the times for the privileged(and heaps of 'servants' to do the dirty work) and any sheik worth his salt wouldn't set up a less than palatial tent. The only difference is that now it's actually more accessible and at a lower price point. There wasn't this much kvetching about the fancy wedding tents from India or stories about RV'ers staying overnight in Wal-Mart parking lots. Perhaps some 'rugged individualists' are feeling threatened, or think this somehow lessens the validity of roughing it. Relax people, it's just another option, not a political agenda!
Well said, Alice.
Is this a simple living option as shown? No.
Is it a tweeked version of every logging camp or hunting camp of yester-year? Yes. Add a wood stove and a real canvas tent (not that glorified mosquito netting) and it is easily livable, has been for centuries…
Granted a tad laughable in a wetland setting… that bedding…
No extra charge for mildew and black mold I assume? ;p
This Glamping spot is in Wyoming – not much mold there as it is extremely dry – same reason there aren't many bugs. On the other hand, there are a few grizzly bears around!
Thought this site was about tiny houses. A tent is a tent.
Some people in ancient, and even modern times have lived in tents as houses. Bedouins, Monguls, Native Americans….SETTLERS on the plains and in mining towns.
And then, of course, people have lived in cars, and some even in their GI issue ponchos (miserable).
I remain interested in the post and amazed that it touched a nerve for so many people.
Kent serves up a great free buffet on this site, and not everyone wants to try the escargot. That's fair. But I think it would've been gracious for people to move on to the parts of the buffet they do like.
Tony, please free yourself from the western notion that all 'houses' must be hard-sided…
Wow, this certainly was a post that brought out opinions and points of view. Why live in a square tent, when living in a round Yurt carry so many advantages (heat, wind resistance, room, light). Modern Yurt manufactures have found ways to blend tradition with convenience.
Also bug zappers, Mosquito Magnets, and other bug repellents/killing devices work quite well, or you could burn logs that have been dipped in citronella, the sky is the limit when money is involved…..
[...] Please, please, please – someone take me GLAMPING! [...]
I'd like to see an interior shot of the "Glamping Bathhouse."
To each his (or her) own. I've been in advertising for a number of years, and photos like this are meant to be attractive, but not realistic. It's just posing with ideal lighting, a pretty location and well-chosen props. Most likely the tent is not even located in that specific spot.
Someone who regularly camps in a backpacker tent would think this is glamping, but someone used to a 30 foot RV would think this is roughing it. By some people, I'm considered a "glamper" when I camp in my 5×8 teardrop trailer! My bed is off the ground, but I have to walk to the restroom in the middle of the night. However, even for just a week or a weekend…this pretty tent is someone's tiny house.
Thanks for your thoughts. Actually, the tent will remain right where it was shot. The Tetons shadow the property from the west, which is not shown in the photos. It is a beautiful wooded property in the heart of Jackson Hole, Wy. The tents will all host the furnishings and "props" shown in the photos. Come check one out next summer. If we don't prove ourselves, the lodging is on us.
I found this discussion very interesting. I think SOME of the elements of glamping will get people who normally wouldn't consider camping out into nature. And that's what we want isn't it? We have a farm campground (www.farmhouselife.com)in Iowa and Kent has been nice enough to feature us in the past. All the structures, tent platforms, etc. were recycled from old farm buildings and our goal is to be sustainable in everything we do. We have a simple gravity feed shower and a pool in an old grain bin (heated with a solar panel). There is no electricity but everything you need to camp is provided and set up for you. Guess you might call it "glamping lite". Our desire is to expose people to the sustainability message by reducing the hassle factor most people associate with a weekend in the outdoors.

Nice job, Brook
Actually this looks like SCA (Society for Creative Anachromism) campint at a high end mundane prespective. I think the owners may have gone to a renfair (different from the SCA!) or scadian encampment and gotten the ideas from some of the viking, norse or persian reinactment groups. The only difference is the modern electricity. These groups sometimes live like this in tents for up to two months for different events. The sheets used are neither Ralph Lauren or gunny sacks but for authenticity loom woven linen or wool which is even more luxiourious in price since it would have been made by artisans within the reinactment community and done using medieval looms and tools. I posted the article on my facebook page, my Scadian and Ren Friends thought it was a cool article and nice to see people thinking outsided the popup, nylon tent box. As to the bedding, I actually have one of those huge custom break down beds with four posters to hang curtains for privacy in my medieval viking tent. That's the Anachromism in SCA….

Close to 100 workers locked out at Snappy in Detroit LakesDetroit Lakes, MN (WDAY TV) - Close to 100 workers at Snappy in Detroit Lakes are scrambling looking for work after the parent company locked out the workers. Health insurance costs and salaries are the sticking points.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
Detroit Lakes, MN (WDAY TV) - Close to 100 workers at Snappy in Detroit Lakes are scrambling looking for work after the parent company locked out the workers. Health insurance costs and salaries are the sticking points.
The air distribution products company, now nationwide, got its start in Detroit Lakes back in 1955. It is now the country's biggest supplier of pipe and fittings for HVAC companies, but tonight longtime employees are looking for a job. Replacement workers have been hired workers like Duane Moe of Audubon are looking for work. After working 32 years for Snappy, he says he feels used.
Duane Moe – Locked Out Worker: "Yeah, new owner."
Locked out and no job.
Duane Moe: "Maybe I can find something to keep me busy."
Many of the locked out workers have been coming to the Minnesota Workforce Center. It is here where they figure out how to file unemployment and find new jobs.
Vicki Leaderbrand – Rural Minnesota CEP: "The first thing is shock, that people are going through is shock, because they are not expecting to come to the office or to come to the workplace and suddenly not have a job."
The locked out workers have been coming to Rural Minnesota CEP at the Workforce Center trying to get on their feet after the lockout hit them this week.
Kelley Nowell – Rural Minnesota CEP: "A lot of times we just listen, validate their feelings and listen because they just need to express anger, frustration, emotions, fear. They say, you know, 'I have two kids at home, I hope this doesn't last long, I have to pay my bills.'"
From job interview skills, resume writing and computer work, the center is working to keep the 100 locked out Snappy employees in the workforce.
Vicki Leaderbrand: "The first thing we do is say, 'OK, where are you today and where do you need to be?'"
These workers in Detroit Lakes are well aware of the locked out Crystal Sugar workers. After more than a year, that labor dispute still drags on
The parent company of Snappy did not answer our request for an interview today.
Meanwhile, the city and business leaders in Detroit Lakes are urging the locked out workers to take advantage of the services at the Minnesota Workforce Center. The chamber says area businesses are aware of the lock out and will assist those workers any way they can. Workers are encouraged to look at classified ads and on-line publications about local job openings.
Carrie Johnson – Detroit Lakes Chamber: "We can sure connect them with someone who is looking who is getting more orders or manufacturing, we would love to make those connections here in the community."
More than half the workers who are locked out have 25 years of experience at the Detroit Lakes Snappy Plant.

I had OSX86 running and then I tried adding UBUNTU 8.10. Trying to be safe, I added a second hard drive and put in the Ubuntu installation disk. When prompted, I installed Ubuntu on the second hard drive and everything went smooth.
However, when i restarted the computer, I can only boot to Ubuntu. If I try to boot to the original disk it just says GRUB Hard Disk Error.
FYI, when I say boot to a disk, i choose the start up disk from the bios.

JULY 2nd - SEPTEMBER 23th
Josef Koudelka - Moravie (Moravia), 1966. Courtesy of Josef Koudelka and of Magnum Photos.
In 1975, the first edition of Josef Koudelka's photographs was published by Robert Delpire in a book that became a myth and was never published again. In 2011, Josef Koudelka exhumed a former dummy of the same book and decided to re-publish it with a larger amount of photographs. Exceptional pictures, exhibited for the first time together, unique prints, the show tells, through unpublished documents, the story of those two books published with a thirty-six-year gap.
In the 1975 edition, Robert Delpire said about this special project that impacted the twentieth century history of photography: 'In the very stillness of the characters Josef questions and who question him, there is a kind of tension, a quivering, the muffled murmuring of flowing blood suddenly contained. It is not so much the temporary nature of immobility, the suspended time peculiar to the snapshot, as the feeling that this precarious immutability is only a surface phenomenon. Beneath each of these weather-beaten and hairless complexions silently glides the ice of all fears. Rooted like dried trees inside these bare, white walls, men mark out lines, indicate the masses of a statistically geometric order. Prisoners of the attention that they bring to bear, without naivety, on the photographic event, they are both witnesses and actors of their own presence. Whether they keep watch over the victim of a murder, show their pathetic treasures or flaunt themselves in front of Josef in the ironic ostentation of an accepted impoverishment, they give to the image its weight of classicism and tradition.'
Robert Delpire, excerpt from 'Josef ou la fureur de voir', 1975.
Exhibition produced with the support of Magnum Photos.
Prints by Vojin Mitrovic, Georges Fèvre, Picto.
Framing partly by Circad, Paris.
René Burri (Magnum Photos) - Josef Koudelka.
Josef Koudelka
Born in 1938 in Boscovice, Moravia.
Lives in Paris and Prague.
After studying in Prague, Koudelka worked as an aeronautical engineer, while also photographing the theatre and Gypsies in Czechoslovakia. His photographs of the Soviet invasion of Prague in 1968 led to him being anonymously awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal. 16 years later, his name was credited to the images he'd taken. In 1970, he found political asylum in Great Britain and became stateless just before joining Magnum. An exhibition was dedicated to him at the MoMA in 1975, the year that Gypsies, his first book, was published, which was to be followed by Exiles in 1988. In 1986, he participated in the DATAR mission – a government sponsored programme aimed at documenting changes in the French landscape – and used the panoramic camera for the first time. His reflections on man's effect on the landscape resulted in the book Chaos in 1999. Koudelka, the first retrospective book of the photographer's work, was published by Delpire in 2006. This was followed by Invasion Prague: 68, published in eleven languages, along with a revised and enhanced version of Gypsies. Koudelka has received numerous awards, among which the Grand Prix National de la Photographie (1987), a Grand Prix Cartier-Bresson (1991) and the ICP Infinity Award (2004). France named him an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters in 1992.

For a semi-permanent hair color, the color longevity and payoff is pretty awesome. Of course, I do not wash my hair very frequently, but the color seems to take hold quickly and last with great shine. I use the deep auburn color, which I was not expecting to come out so nice, but in fact it is true to the picture. This has a modest price for a good product. I am very satisfied.

I didn't know this was a semi-permanent hair color kit, but it seemed to last okay for me. I was fine with the color I got as well, and it seemed to do an okay job with covering grays. The main thing I didn't like is how it irritated my scalp. I have colored my hair for years with clairol nice n easy and clairol root touch up. I have never had a problem using those, but with Natural Instincts, my scalp itched for days afterwards. Silly me, I thought something called Natural Instincts would use more "natural" ingredients and be gentler to my hair and scalp, lol. I have used Clairol Root Touch-Up twice since using this without problems. I will definitely not be repurchasing this.

I've used Clairol's Natural Instincts Hair Color for quite a while. It USED TO BE the perfect product. However, the company decided to change the formula and now it does not cover the gray as well nor last as long as it did before the formula change. I can only get about 1-1/2 to 2 weeks out of a color before it has faded and the grays are showing through. I assume this is why they have now included the ColorFresh Revitalizer which is to be used at two weeks to perk up the color. However, this revitalizer is nothing more that a small packet of a jelly-like substance that will add some color to your hair but it wasn't the same color as the medium brown that was the color I used. The revitalizer was very red/orange toned which gave my brown hair an auburn shade and the gray an orange color. (Therefore, I do not use the revitalizer packet ever and just recolor at three weeks with this product.) The actual hair color application is easy but a little runny. The conditioner is good and makes my hair very soft and manageable. What you see on the color swatch on the back of the box is what color your hair will be when finished. (Mine was the exact medium brown pictured on the box.) However, because the color product does not last long at all, it is no longer my go-to semi-permanent hair color and I would only buy it if I can't find something else.

I just bought and used 23R, med auburn.
First let me say that I dye my hair every 2-3 months usually, but after switching my (permanent) color recently to a different one, I'm not satisfied and it's faded a lot after only 3 weeks. So, instead of re-dying permanent and damaging my hair too much, I opted for the demi-permanent.
I wanted to go red... and this gave me red. My natural is medium brown, and right now it's almost (darkish) fire engine red. Though I didn't want it to be this red, I know it will tone down in a few washes and it's exactly what the color on the box shows... so I knew what I was getting myself into. (Someone else said their hair was bright red, "unlike the box" but the box shows bright red.)
It was super easy and quick to apply since it was creme... I'm a fan of quick. I'm not sure why people are complaining about the damage. It's demi-permanent so definitely not as damaging as permanent, but as with any chemical process, it's going to damage it a tiny bit. My hair feels okay. I'm a big fan of deep conditioning and taking good care of my hair so maybe that's why.
All in all, I like it. And even if I didn't, it'll fade soon since it's not permanent.

I've always been a fan of this product, it's the only box dye I'll use, I stay away from permanent box dyes because they contain lighteners and I already lighten my hair, don't want to double process it. I use the semi for a toner in a variety of blonde shades, depending on what tone I want to go for. It doesn't take much time, not too drippy when applying, and it is an absolute MIRACLE product because it leaves my hair so SOFT! I could not believe that my hair comes out in BETTER condition when I use it. I'm sure it's not actually in better condition, but it sure feels like it, they must pack 100 different conditioners into this stuff. Fading depends on the color, when I used to do brown it would stay in my hair forever, but the blondes fade very nicely over a few months for me.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This is a saying that Clairol should have taken to heart. Natural Instincts was working just fine before they decided to "improve" the formula. Now it's not quite as good as it used to be. This new formula doesn't seem to color as well as the original, and I have more grays that didn't take color. The color wasn't too far off from the box: I have dark brown hair and selected a medium brown to warm it up--which it did. My hair did emerge feeling better than it did pre-coloring, and the conditioner is awesome. The color lasts a month, which is about what I'd expect from a demipermanent dye. Usually by 28 days, I'm itching to redye it anyway.
The Color Refresher is a joke: it reminds me of those color-depositing shampoos that were in vogue several years ago. Too red (even though my color was a golden brown), too garish, and stains far too much...I'd rather have an extra bottle of the conditioner.
So overall, a mixed bag. I'd probably keep buying it again because it's a brand that I know, plus there aren't many other demipermanent options out there.
Two things to remember: colors in demipermanent dye tend to come out darker than pictured, so if you are at all uncertain about which shade to get, chose something slightly lighter than you'd usually get. Also, demipermanent dye can't lighten hair--it can only cover gray and change hair tone (yes, it could darken it, if you prefer flat haircolor that is nearly impossible to get to fade out). You have to stay within two shades of your hair color for the best results; otherwise, get a box of permanent dye.

I mixed #12 Toasted Almond, Light Golden Brown and #14 Tweed, Light Cool Brown half and half and successfully neutralized brassy golden toned highlights in my hair, while achieving a rich Dark Brown allover color that is luminous and quite soft and silky.
I started with Medium Warm Brown hair (not exactly my natural color, but not dyed - I had used Color Oops back in the winter to remove a bad dark dye job with great success, but the ammonia in the dye had lifted my color to the warm brown). I also had brassy gold highlights that had been professionally done in an Aveda salon in late May. The highlights were nicely done, and evenly placed all throughout my hair, but the tone was not good for my cool coloring. Not really the salon's fault, I got what I asked for.
Money is tight, so I decided I wanted to improve my hair color on my own. I did NOT want to use permanent dye again. I had never considered demi-permanent dye before, but it seemed like just what I needed to correct my brassy color.
I read a very thoughtfully written review on MUA from a girl with dark Asian hair that had blonde highlights - she had used a two step process to dye over her hair and cover brass. What she did was first process with Golden toned brown to turn her highlights reddish. She waited a month and then followed with an Ash toned dye to cancel the red and achieve a rich brown allover color with subtle highlights. What stuck out to me was that she mentioned that had she not used the Golden toned brown first, her highlights would have turned green when the Ash was applied. She really seemed to know what she was talking about.
It seemed counter-intuitive to put MORE Golden dye into my hair when that was what I wanted to cover, but since she had achieved results like what I wanted, I decided to give it a shot (the fact I was using demi-permanent dye made the decision easier). But I did not want to wait two months to get the final result! I figured the key factor was getting both tones in the hair shaft to eliminate the unwanted gold/brass, so I thought "Why not just put both in at the same time?"
I checked Clairol's website and in their FAQs, they state it is perfectly fine to mix colors so long as you keep it in the same brand/formulation and don't mix very drastically different levels (like white blonde with black).
After reading reviews how girls with color-treated hair all seemed to get unexpectedly dark results when using demi-permanent dye, I decided to use Light browns for my mix, with the assumption I would get Dark brown results. I just eyeballed it when I poured half of each bottle of dye into the developer (saving the rest), and shook the developer up to mix. The initial mix looked orange-y, but the developed liquid was brown.
Mixture was runny, but didn't hinder application too much. Smell was fine, nice even. Halfway through, I was worried there wouldn't be enough for my shoulder-length fine hair, and getting the last few squirts out was tricky. But I knew I had a whole another kit to mix if needed, so I didn't hold back, and still the one application was in fact enough.
I started my stopwatch and opened a beer.
I turned my shower on at the 8 minute mark and got in at exactly 9 minutes (instructions say leave in for 10 minutes after applying). I thought it rinsed out reasonably quickly; it wasn't the forever-and-ever rinsing process that some other reviewers had (maybe only the darker dyes take forever and ever.) It *did* splash all over the shower walls, but rinsed clean.
Conditioner smelled good and slipped right into the hair, de-tangling quickly. I left it in while I shaved my legs.
After rinsing the conditioner out, my hair felt very nice. I squeezed out the extra water, ran a wide tooth comb through and allowed my hair to air dry.
Next day: My hair is soft and bouncy and has luminous shine that just looks healthy. The resulting color is a rich dark chocolate brown on my base, and my formerly golden, brassy highlights look like milk chocolate ripples. I won't mind if it lightens over the next few days/weeks, and I'm sure it will. The color is dark, and is not what one would typically expect from hair dye labeled "Light Brown" and left in for only 10 minutes, so be warned and pick your color wisely. I like myself with dark brown hair though, it's a natural with my cool fair complexion. My hair color is rich and has nice dimension, possibly from using the mix of two tones, but perhaps just because it's good hair color.
I will update this review if there are any drastic or unexpected changes over the next few weeks (too-rapid fadeout or return of brass) but I have to say, I'm really satisfied with the results I've gotten and will likely use Natural Instincts again.

I used the original formula for years and it was great. It left my hair shiny and undamaged. The color always washed out. I loved it and planned to be a lifelong user. I always used it on the roots only, then mixed a very small amount of color with water and left it on the length of my hair for about 3-5 minutes, just to blend everything. I used it for eight years, maybe four or five times a year, and loved it.
Then I noticed that the color kept getting darker and darker, even though I was still only putting it on the roots and only using it about every three months. The colors seemed weird.It never looked good. Oh, and then, this will really get a girl's attention MY HAIR STARTED FALLING OUT!!!!!!! I looked at the package, and what I thought was a color change in the box design turns out to be a whole new formula. It is NO LONGER WASHOUT COLOR.
I would no longer recommend this product. I will no longer buy Clairol. I don't know what the hell made them change their formula, but this went from being a miracle product to being a white trash looking hair dye that actually thinned my hair and left a flat, weirdly fake looking, lifeless color. DO NOT BUY THE NEW FORMULA.

[Egyptian Plum Color] this color is beautiful. A little darker on my dark brown hair than I expected, but I loved it. It looked black with purple tones without sunlight. When I go outside, it shines a gorgeous red. Not a damaging formula. This is only my first week in [washing it every other day] and it still looks great. It is not as deep and dark as it used to be, but I keep getting compliments. Very lovely formula especially for a new hair dyer like me!

Clairol really did change the formula after they repackaged this hair dye and lets just say its NOT a good change. The color is darker and no longer vibrant ( I used to use sahara the lightest blonde shade) and comes out really brassy (like orange brassy!). Its HORRIBLE. I have switched to L'oreal healthy look (white chocolate shade) and its A MILLION times better and the color comes out almost 100% of what is expected from it. Sorry clairol but this was a FAIL and its too bad because I loved this color and used it for years.

People call me Robin, Freckles, or the Red Menace. You can choose. I have red hair, freckles, and a menacing attitude. So I suppose all of the above are appropriate.
I am a Seattle real estate agent, but I'm also a freelance food writer and avid home cook in Seattle, Washington.
This site was born a couple of years ago when my boyfriend, who was enjoying the fruits of my culinary labors, suggested I start a blog. I had no idea what a blog was. In fact, I'd never seen one before that suggestion. However, it seemed like a good idea. I was tired of hoarding scraps of paper, sticky-notes, and computer printouts of recipes and ideas. In a sense, the blog was a way to go "green" or paperless.
It turned into so much more. I've met such lovely people who encourage me to write more, cook more, and explore more. Thank you for that. You certainly keep this thing running.
Many readers ask about the photos. I'm so glad you like them. Most of them are taken by my dear husband, Kirk. (We got married last year!) I often refer to Kirk as K out of pure laziness. Kirk is a professional photographer. I feel very lucky in this respect. He loves to document our meals and our lives. As a Seattle Wedding Photographer, he is also very talented at documenting special occasions. Give him a ring if you are interested. He would love to hear from you!
