Get Jaguars Tickets!
Getting tickets to the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium is a great choice because, unlike most football stadiums, the Jags offer a family environment which is a lot less rowdy than other teams' venues. They actually have a section devoted to a family environment because they do not sell alcoholic beverages in this part of the stadium. Also, watch great AFC South action with the perennial contender Jaguars always in the Super Bowl hunt.
Jacksonville Jaguars History
In 1994, the Jacksonville Jaguars were added along with the Carolina Panthers and were originally placed in the AFC Central division of the NFL. They would play their first game in 1995 against the St. Louis Rams and would later play their first regular season game against the Houston Oilers. They would go one to break the record for most first season wins by an expansion team with four. However, the Carolina Panthers trumped this record by going 7-9 simultaneously in the same season.
However, though the Panthers came in the same year, thanks to good coaching from then head coach Tom Coughlin, and with the right moves in the front office, the Jaguars became a solid football team very quickly. They went to the playoffs four out of their first 5 years in league but failed to make it to the Super Bowl. These teams were led by such notable names as Mark Brunell, Jimmie Smith, and Tony Boselli.
After this period ended, Jack Del Rio became the next head coach of this team and their defense saw vast improvements. Del Rio has held the reigns of the team and has brought in such notable talent as Maurice Jones-Drew, Reggie Nelson, and Michael Sims-Walker. The Jags have been in the hunt for their first AFC championship over the past 5 seasons but have yet to find a way past the Indianapolis Colts.
Other Jacksonville Teams
While the Jaguars are the only major professional team to be located in this city, they are not the only pro sports team in town. Actually, Jacksonville hosts a wide variety of lesser known sports teams and hosts Super Bowls as well as a bevy of college football games. The most notable yearly game held at the Jaguars home stadium is the Florida versus Georgia football game, which has been named the "World's Largest Cocktail Party." This is a great sporting event to for all football fans.
Besides pro and college football, there are also other smaller market teams that play in and around Jacksonville. Baseball is very big in Jacksonville as professional sports clubs have minor league affiliates spread throughout the city. People can also enjoy arena league football.

Sometimes unexpected things occur in life that shake us down to our core. For many people, a stroke can really cause them to feel the vulnerability of the human form. During a stroke, the oxygen to the brain is cut off due to a blockage in a blood vessel which supplies blood to the brain or because a blood vessel in the brain ruptures. When a person experiences a stroke fragile brain tissue is damaged on some level. Post-stroke, many individuals suffer from issues with balance, speech, one-sided weakness, and memory. Can you imagine...waking up one day to find your physical and mental abilities drastically decreased? Thoughts and feelings of doubt, fear, and frustration rise up to the surface and stroke victims have an important journey of rehabilitation ahead of them. More importantly, strokes can reoccur doing more damage each time. A well-balanced lifestyle geared towards reducing buildup of plaque and inflammation, while maintaining a healthy blood sugar and blood pressure level is integral to a healthy stroke-free future.
As with anyone starting a new yoga practice, it is important to study with a qualified and knowledgeable teacher. Yoga can be an incredibly beneficial practice, however, if practiced incorrectly it can do damage. Seek out a Registered Yoga Teacher and preferably one with years of experience. Inform your teacher of any physical or mental obstacles you are facing so they can cater the practice to your unique body.
Foods high in sugar and carbohydrates
elevate blood triglyceride levels leading to
fat storage, elevated blood pressure, and insulin
insensitivity. Eat plenty of fat and low-carb
to maintain a healthy blood sugar level.
In my perspective, sometimes it takes a combination of things to really heal a person or situation. It's usually not just one thing that helps us shift in our life... it's many. Practicing Yoga can be an integral part of a stroke recovery program. However, it is not a replacement for a standard rehabilitation program. There is now scientific evidence to support that yoga helps to improve balance in stroke rehabilitation. Yoga is much more than a physical practice, it is a holistic system to promote union of the body, mind and spirit. As part of a therapeutic yoga program, you might practice: breathing, meditation, postures, concentration exercises, chanting, relaxation exercises, laughter, etc. Yoga therapy interweaves the many healing traditions of yoga into a customized program for each individual student.
Yoga Practices for Stroke Recovery and Prevention:
Full Torso
Full Torso Breathing: deep breathing practice, which encourages practitioner to breath fully into both the abdomen and chest. With each inhale the abdomen and chest inflate. With each exhale the abdomen and chest deflate. Sometimes it is helpful to place one hand over your chest and one hand over your abdomen and feel the breath flowing in and out. You should feel your chest and abdomen rise and fall. Can practice this breathing in seated meditation, asana practice, or even reclining. If breath is very shallow do not get discouraged, do what you can and keep practicing. Take 5 deep to 10 deep breaths minimum.
- Why it Matters: Full torso breathing helps to maximize the capacity of your breath. When you use the full torso to breath you are taking in lot of oxygen and expelling a lot of carbon dioxide. Taking in more oxygen allows more oxygen to be available to the brain tissues. Some research suggests that deep breathing helps to rebuild the brain after a stroke. This style of breathing also helps to relax and calm the mind and whole being.
Shoulder Shrugs and Rolls: Sit in a comfortable seated position in a chair or on the floor.
- Shoulder Shrugs: Inhale shrug your shoulders up to your ears and squeeze. Exhale, let out a sigh as you relax your shoulders back and down. Inhale, shrug and squeeze. Exhale, let go as you relax shoulders. Repeat 3x-6x total.
- Shoulder Rolls: Inhale, roll your shoulders forward and lift them up your ears. Exhale, rolls your shoulders back and then down. Repeat 3x, then reverse. Inhale, roll your shoulders back and up to your ears. Exhale, roll your shoulders forward and down. Repeat 3x.
- Why it Matters: This posture will help to loosen up and soften the tissues of the upper body. By softening imbalance between the right and left upper limbs, one can develop strength and flexibility in a balanced way. By loosening the upper body, we also help to clear away tension and stress that many people house in their shoulders, necks, and upper back.
Lateral Reaches
Lateral Reaches: Sit in a comfortable seated position in a chair or on the floor. Lengthen your spine. Center the crown of your head over the middle of your spine. Inhale, lift your left arm up. Exhale, stretch your left arm to the right so you come into a side bend. Inhale, raise your spine to neutral. Exhale, release your left arm down and then reverse. Inhale, lift your right arm up. Exhale, stretch your right arm to the left. Inhale, raise your spine to neutral. Exhale, release your right arm down. Repeat 3-6x moving with the breath.
Warrior One
- Why it Matters: Lateral reaches help to lengthen the side-waist and promote flexibility of the upper body. Also, postures and breath movements which cultivate awareness of the right and left side of the body are good for the brain.
Warrior One at the Wall: Stand facing towards a wall. Press both hands into the wall shoulder height and shoulder distance apart. Step your right foot back about 3-4 feet. Plant your right heel down and turn your toes out at an angle. Even your hips out so that you right and left hip are balanced. Press firmly down through both feet.
- Why it Matters: This posture helps to open up the hip flexors on one side, strengthens the legs, and ankles. This pose may help train the body and mind to balance again.
Walking Meditation: Stand near a wall either touching it or close enough to touch it if you need to. Place one heel down and begin to walk slowly from heel to toe. Bring flexibility into the soles of the feel by taking time to press into the toes, ball mount, and heel of both feet each time you take a step. It's not a race...in fact moving slowly will help you build more strength, more awareness, and more balance. Be mindful of your breath and body as you take each step.
- Why it Matters: This posture will help to strengthen your legs, feet, and core all while improving your balance. It may seem scary to take that first step... take a deep breath. You can do this one step at a time!

In this present darkness, most of us feel oppressed at every turn. We sense spiritual forces battling it out. Good versus evil. Angels versus demons. Light against shadows. We've been taught to be good soldiers for Christ. Take up our cross and fight. Fight for truth. Fight for our children. Fight, well, for everything. Speaking the truth is always the right thing to do. We must speak what God has declared to be true, omitting nothing. But one thing most of us forget is this: Read More

The Mean Stepsister
Redemption is a beautiful thing. There is something, dare I say, romantic about someone with power and position plucking a nobody from the crowd and claiming them as their own. Perhaps that's why I've so frequently heard the Gospel compared to a fairy tale story. A king sweeping the lonely girl away to a land where all her dreams come true. Not long ago, I heard someone compare what God has done to the story of Cinderella. I understand the gist of this kind of Read More
The Redemption of Kip
"Runt." "He'll never live." "He's so scrawny." I don't know what I did wrong. I was born, I guess. While all my brothers and sisters were cute, wriggly little pups, I was the outcast. Never expected to do much. To be much. At the pet store, the chubby, groping fingers of girls and boys would rove over all of our heads, scratching our ears, picking us up and snuggling their cheeks next to ours. Such happy feelings filled me, I couldn't help but lick their Read More
Radical Love, Radical Forgiveness
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. " (Matthew 5:43-45) I don't know about you but loving my enemies can be a tall order sometimes. People can be hurtful. Even downright mean. It's easy to want to defend ourselves or our loved ones, to right the wrong, or inflict the same kind of hurt we have Read More

Annual Member Renewal
The ACAO recognizes the challenges many members have faced as a result of COVID-19. As a result, the ACAO Council will not be increasing member dues in 2021. The 2021 renewal cycle will open earlier on September 1, 2020, and members will have the option to pay their fees in monthly installments.
All ACAO members are now required to complete their renewal online through their My ACAO Profile.

Online Renewal Reminders
We no longer send registration letters to you in the mail
We are conscious of our environmental footprint, and we aim to reduce costs whenever possible. Sending registration letters in the mail takes a toll on both. In addition, occasional delivery issues may prevent you from receiving your forms on time.

Each optician must have one million dollars of Errors and Omissions Insurance in order to register.
You are responsible for ensuring that your insurance coverage is full and up to date, and by completing your online renewal, you are also promising the ACAO that you have E&O Insurance.
E&O Insurance may be provided by your employer, or you can register for membership with the Opticians Association of Canada (OAC) which includes Professional Liability Insurance.
What is Errors and Omissions Insurance?
Errors and Omissions Insurance (E&O) is a professional liability insurance that protects you from "lawsuits for damages claimed by a third party, resulting from a professional error or omission or negligent act" committed while you were practicing as an optician.
For more information about E&O insurance through the OAC, visit the membership benefits page on their website.
Criminal Record Check
You must complete a criminal record check to register
On April 1, 2019 new legislation, Bill 21: An Act to Protect Patients was enacted.
As a result of this new legislation, all health care practitioners in Alberta are required to submit criminal background checks to their Regulatory College's. A criminal record check is required to process ALL new applications in Alberta.
What is Bill 21?
Bill 21 aims to protect patients from sexual misconduct and sexual abuse, increase survivor supports, and require more transparency from regulatory colleges.
The Alberta government introduced the legislation to ensure Albertans are safe when accessing health care services. The new law applies to all health professionals regulated under the Health Professions Act.
To reflect the severity of these actions, there will be a permanent cancellation of a practitioner's practice permit when a hearing tribunal finds a regulated member's actions constitute sexual abuse.
When a hearing tribunal finds a regulated member's actions constitute sexual misconduct, a health professional's practice permit will be suspended.

Eight Waste & Recycling Trade Bodies Join Forces at RWM Exhibition
The UK's most influential waste and resource trade associations will come together to offer visitors to RWM 2017 an in-depth understanding of the UK's recycling, secondary materials and reprocessing.
The UK's most influential waste and resource trade associations will come together to offer visitors to RWM 2017 an in-depth understanding of the UK's recycling, secondary materials and reprocessing capability, capacity and industry challenges.
The Recycling & Reprocessing Associations' stand in hall 4 will be centrally located and host Alupro, British Plastics Federation, Confederation of Paper Industries, RECOUP, Resource Association, The Alliance of Beverage Cartons and the Environment UK (ACE), The Recycling Association and the Wood Recyclers' Association.
Together, these eight organisations represent many of the UK's largest recycling and reprocessing businesses, as well as a vast number of SMEs that also operate within this diverse landscape. While each organisation has a unique membership and mission, all are recognised for their understanding of and influence within their individual operational areas.
The eight trade bodies between them represent an industry which has an annual turnover of £11 billion, directly employs 106,000 people, and has helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% since 1990.*
Paper and board
UK collections of recovered paper and board totalled almost 8 million tonnes in 2016. Furthermore, 70% of all fibres used to make paper in the UK came from paper collected for recycling from households and businesses
UK collections of recovered plastic totalled 1.8 million tonnes in 2016. Plastic packaging recycling increased by 15% between 2015 and 2016 to reach 45%.
UK collections of recovered aluminium totalled 90,000 tonnes in 2016 with the aluminium recycling rate now standing at 50%. Jointly-funded communications programmes developed and run by the metal packaging sector have directly targeted over 5.5 million households across 81 local authorities, and consistently achieved increases in metal capture rates and contributed to positive behaviour change.
Waste Wood
In 2017, almost 1.5 million tonnes of waste wood will be recycled and used by the panel board sector and other key markets such as animal bedding. Wood recyclers also supplied around 1.5 million tonnes of processed post-consumer waste wood to biomass facilities last year, a figure which is set to double by next year.
Secondary is the new primary
When it comes to materials, the organisations have not only helped to increase the quantity diverted from landfill but have also sought to raise quality throughout the supply chain. The aim has been to ensure that materials are considered as a preferred manufacturing feedstock over virgin materials.
"We might be separate organisations, but when it comes to raising standards and quality we are unanimous," said Simon Weston of CPI. "Our aim is to make secondary materials the first choice for manufacturing and we will work tirelessly to help our members make this a new reality."
The sentiment is echoed by Simon Ellin of The Recycling Association: "We're getting closer to a point where secondary is the new primary. By working collaboratively across the supply chain, with government, and by focusing on quality, secondary commodities are increasingly being selected over virgin alternatives."
Andy Hill from the Wood Recyclers' Association added: "The value our recycling trade associations add to the UK's economy is second to none and it will be great to see them all gathered together at RWM highlighting the work we all do and the future of recycling in Britain."

The group of high school players includes Stephen Walmsley, Chris Wild, Tiago Martins, Josh Chao, Josef Abele, Nick Taglianetti, Bilal Afolabi and Eddie Bogle. Here is a look at the incoming freshman…

"It's as though the presence of oil makes everyone behave at their worst," said Ed Kashi about his new book, Curse of the Black Gold: 50 Years of Oil in the Niger Delta. Nigeria is the world's sixth largest oil producer and the book investigates the environmental and social damage that this hugely valuable resource has inflicted upon the region. It was not an easy ride; Kashi was detained for six days by the Nigerian authorities, at one point fearing for his life. He also gained risky access to the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, militant rebels who use violence to try to bring about change.
In a recent interview in PDN, Martin Parr, a man who enjoys having a go at his traditionalist Magnum colleagues, put the boot into the "humanist" approach to photojournalism: "There is the old approach, whereby you try to change the world. Nobody is going to obliterate war, famine, Aids, and all the other things that are the usual subject matter that more campaigning photojournalists would be attracted to." Parr claims to subvert the magazine agenda: "I shoot interesting subject matter but disguise it as entertainment. That's what people want in magazines."
Curse of the Black Gold is unlikely to appeal to the luvvie factor of smart magazines; it is neither coolly ironic nor cleverly self-mocking. Kashi probably does not see himself as an entertainer and might be happy to align himself with those marginalised Magnum oldies though I doubt whether he ever felt able to "change the world". He may, perhaps, have hoped to touch our consciousness and make us more aware of the global connection between the resources we consume and the human costs involved.
This carefully conceived and designed exposition of what oil can do to those who live and work within its viscous shadow is a riveting, fresh and revealing body of documentary work. Its complexity lies in the way that it relates back the Delta's anarchy, poverty, corruption, lack of education and healthcare, atrocious housing and angry hopelessness to the core situation in which those who live in this oil-rich land receive virtually none of the benefits.
The book's powerful photo essays are interspersed with diverse writings by leading Nigerian journalists and human rights activists and an authoritative background article by the book's editor, Michael Watts, director of African studies at the University of California, Berkeley. The visual journalism interconnects and overlaps, permeated by a strong consistency of vision. It's the oil, of course, that binds it all together and Kashi's apocalyptic tone shakes one to the roots. The looming physical presence of oil and gas infrastructure and detritus is everywhere. Two extraordinary images convey the environmental degradation that so upsets Kashi; in one, a group of women bake tapioca using the heat of a gas flare from a pipeline; in another, in the largest abattoir in the region, carcasses of freshly killed animals are roasted by the flames of burning tyres, causing acrid, black smoke to pollute the neighbourhood (and no doubt the lungs of the workers too).
In the absence of a strong and consistent documentary presence in magazines, what should we expect from a book such as this? Over and above a high level of photography, we should want to feel that the photographer has earned the right to demand our attention, that he knows his subject, has done his research and has put in the time. We may secretly hope that the publication will work a bit of magic on us, persuading us to think a little more about the subject than we did before. Above all, we should be motivated to return to the book often and look at the images many times over. Unlike so many contemporary photographic books that eschew narrative and disdain explicit communication, Curse of the Black Gold fulfils these expectations, chipping away at the edge of our indifference.

Web analytics landscape: Audience poll in a recent webinar shows Google Analytics at 75% market share, while another webinar highlights the prevalence of sites with multiple analytics tools implemented.
Web Analytics Tool Usage
Mediative (formerly Enquiro) recently presented a webinar called 'Analytics and Reporting – How to Define Metrics…' as part of its B2B Expert Series. Insightful presentation, as always. During the broadcast, viewers were offered the opportunity to complete a poll and indicate the analytics platform they are using. Here are the results, from January 25, 2011:
Not surprisingly, Google Analytics is the dominator, being a widely known and freely available solution. The result is a 75% market share for Google Analytics with this audience. The major paid solutions fall into line pretty much as expected, with Adobe's Omniture at 10%, Webtrends and 4%, and IBM's Coremetrics on less that 1% of the sites polled. Red-headed step-child Yahoo! Web Analytics was not offered as an option in the poll, but presumably comprises some portion of the 4% in the 'Other' category, along with Unica and…others. A little disturbing to see in this day and age that 6% of the sites of the participants in the poll have no web analytics.
I don't know the size or composition of this audience, so it's hard to say how representative this data is. Mediative webinars usually attract an audience in the hundreds, from a fairly broad cross-section of industries and company sizes, so this is probably not too far off the mark for North American business sites in general.
One thing poll respondents weren't offered was the chance to indicate more than one analytics solution. Would be interesting to see how that option would change results – I suspect it would skew the results even more toward Google Analytics, since it is not unusual for sites with a paid solution in place to use GA as a back-up/alternative. The 'Other' category would probably get a boost as well, especially if people included things like voice of customer or audience measurement tools.
Site Tagging for Web Analytics
Coincidentally, in another webinar on the very same day, Eric Peterson (Web Analytics Demystified) referenced data on the number of sets of tracking tags that companies nowadays typically carry on their sites. This was in a presentation called 'The Myth of the Universal Tag', hosted by Josh Manion of Ensighten and also featuring Brandon Bunker (Sony). Lots of thought-provoking info on the value of tag management systems, but the data in question showed that almost 1/2 of the top 100 internet retailers have 3 or more sets of web analytics tags on their sites, and 85% have 2 or more sets. Since these are large, presumably sophisticated sites, they may be expected to have more tracking tags placed on their pages, but the overwhelming extent to which this is happening suggests that it is likely common on smaller sites, as well, which is supported by observation.
This data originated from ObservePoint and was previously published in a paper called 'When More Is Not Better: Page Tags', written by Eric Peterson and sponsored by ObservePoint.
So a couple of snapshots of the current state of the web analytics landscape: lots of solutions in play, and lots of sites leveraging multiple solutions. No doubt further consolidation will proceed in the industry, although it is likely that new tools will also emerge, so it will be interesting to see how the market share relationships change over time. Tagging of sites with multiple tools will no doubt continue and possibly expand, so it will be interesting to see how the use of tag management solutions evolves to deal with this proliferation.

What Is Promotional Accounting?
Promotional accounting is an aspect of accounting that deals with promotional items, initiatives and campaigns. Depending on the size of a company, there might be a dedicated individual or team devoted to managing the promotional aspect of the company's accounting duties. Smaller companies typically have one or a few employees that handle all accounting tasks, so they work on promotional accounting as well as other aspects of a company's financial books.
Typical Duties
Promotional accounting teams perform a variety of accounting tasks related to promotional activities for a company or organization. They must record the amount of money spent on promotional activities, as well as the revenue or income generated by those activities. They often work hand in hand with marketing or public relations teams to discuss budgets, expenses and other financial activities related to promotional campaigns.
Promotional Campaigns
Companies have a variety of options with promotional campaigns. The goal of a promotional campaign is to raise awareness for a company, brand or product. The campaigns use a predetermined message or series of messages targeted toward a specific group of people. For example, a promotional campaign might warn teenagers not to drink and drive around prom and graduation season. The campaign could use messages about the risks of drinking and driving, such as the health risks, safety risks and legal risks. Promotional accounting staff members must understand what a promotional campaign is. They should consider attending campaign planning meetings to be up to speed on a company or organization's upcoming campaign initiatives.
Promotional versus Advertising
It is also important for promotional accounting specialists to understand the difference between promotions and advertisements. Advertisements are typically geared toward end consumers, whereas promotions are more general marketing efforts geared toward a specific group of people, which might include end consumers. For example, an advertisement is usually a printed or audible message found on TV, the radio, in newspapers or websites. They entice consumers to make a purchase or take some sort of action. On the other hand, a company might offer a promotional price on its services to other businesses, or might use different kinds of products to spread a message.
Promotional Products
Companies often use products as promotional items. For example, a company that gives pens away with the name and contact information of the company printed on the pen uses the pen as a promotional tool. Companies can also use T-shirts, hats and a variety of other giveaways and products as promotional tools. Promotional accounting specialists need to keep track of the costs of these promotional items. They also work with marketing teams to create budgets for promotional items and find the best deals on various items that companies can use the spread the word to as many people as possible.

John Freeman, president of the National Book Critics' Circle, writes a screed complaining that Americans don't read and it's all Ronald Reagan's fault. Land of the Book-Free: America's obsession with making money is turning reading into a minority interest in the US.
Last week I spent 22 hours in Las Vegas. It's amazing what blossoms in the desert when irrigated by cash: acres of smooth asphalt; a replica of Manhattan with a roller coaster threading through it. Good luck finding a book, though.
The experience apparently overwhelmed him.
Of course, the point of Vegas is not to read, but there is something spooky about a town without books, let alone newspapers. Just before we left town, my friend and I stumbled upon a couple quietly reading The Wall Street Journal. "Where did you get that?" we gasped.
Ahh, what an opportunity for a Friday snark. Always a great way to start the weekend. I'm concerned about education, and want people to read lots of books, but this article is simply ridiculous.
Problem one with Freeman's premise: if you're going to set up a strawman, pick one that's not pathetically easy to mock. "I went to Barnum's Clown College last week. And amid all the red noses and giant shoes, could I find a single Oxford English Dictionary?" Or "Yesterday I drove across Kansas. But when I stumbled off the highway into those vast fields of wheat, I found not one copy of Kerouac's On the Road. America is a wasteland."
Problem two: he misinterprets the survey upon which his entire article is premised. He states, "[A] study has put a figure on the decline of reading in the US. One in four Americans read no books last year. Nothing. Not even the Bible." But the study he cites does not mention a decline in reading. It doesn't compare present reading rates with past rates at all. That's just Freeman's anxiety speaking. The study shows that 75% of Americans read books for pleasure. But to him that's a "minority". So maybe it's not his anxiety speaking – maybe he's just innumerate.
He blames the "Republican revolution" for its "full-scale assault on public welfare programming." I'm not a Republican, but… yawn. He also blames capitalism and the Internet for the decline in book review pages in newspapers. And wonders when "we" will find the guts to do something drastic.
Now that cigarettes are becoming less and less palatable in an actor's hand, put a book there. If the NEA [National Endowment for the Arts] wants people to read, strong-arm a copy of William Carlos Williams' The Doctor Stories onto Grey's Anatomy.
Well, I want people to read. I want people to read my books. In fact, I insist the nation read my entire ouvre. Why don't I seize power and strong-arm the producers of 24 into placing copies of Jericho Point on all the desks at CTU? What's that, you say? Cultural imperialism? No, couldn't possibly be. As Freeman concludes,
This may sound crass and ridiculous, but so is America.
See, we're surrounded by philistines! Something must be done. Our tastes shall be imposed. Our jobs preserved. The command economy instituted…
I guess I'm just shocked to see a self-appointed shepherd of high culture regard his fellow citizens with quite such open contempt.
Final problem with Freeman's book-free Las Vegas story? I Googled "bookstores las vegas" and in 45 seconds found the Yellow Pages listings for 110 bookstores in the Vegas metropolitan area.

I think just about every presentation I've given involving planting design has included my strong promotion of silver-leaved plants. I think silver and white are sorely lacking in most gardens, borders and containers in general. We all enjoy the "hot colors" of yellow, orange and red and hopefully appreciate the "cool colors" of blue, maroon and myriad greens. However, I view white/silver as a unifying color and it's value becomes even more pronounced at dusk and in areas with low lighting. Silver also combines well with a wide range of other colors. The "illumination" that silver plants provide is a strong visual tool in any landscape. What's interesting with all of these featured plants (both annuals and perennials), is that they almost all have a furry pubescence. This layer of "fur" increases the surface area of the leaf allowing for even more silvering, an amazing look in moonlight and also helps with water retention for many of these as they are native in areas with hot summers. In summary – Silver is good, use more of it! There are entire gardening books on this topic that will give you more planting ideas and a wider palette. While white flowers are powerful, the surface area of a silver leaf and longer longevity for visual appeal (months compared to weeks) makes for more significant impact.
With spring arriving officially tomorrow on the calendar, the sunny day was beautiful and offered a promise of warmer days (despite the chilly morning!). We had a huge turnout of volunteers today. Staff included Larry O., Cindy, Bobby K. and myself. We worked on a wide range of tasks. Gardening volunteers included Steve E., Grace, Bob C. and Kathy P. They were working on garden tidying, grass cutting and mulching. Larry O. and Dick H. also worked on path repair. Dennis and Garrett continued clearing brush from the North path. Good luck to Garrett who heads shortly to sunny Florida for a new job. Kristin and Stan were in to tidy in the Japanese garden. Vern, Jim, Ron Y., Steve and Firefighter Cathy were all doing carpentry work while Del, Dr. Gredler, Marv and Alan worked on painting. Bill O. worked on some equipment. Peg continued with her labeling projects and we also saw Becky, Maury, Gary A. and many others. There was a lot of activity today which is always nice to see.

I Have an Idea!
on February 22, 2017
I consider myself very good at giving gifts.
No, no, I don't think you're picturing it quite right. I am a Leslie Knope level gift giver. I thought I was the best.
Until a couple of months ago.
Something awoke in Monty. He became the friggin' Chosen One of gift giving. After absolutely killing it at Christmas, he surprised me for my birthday last Friday with a Playstation VR.
A Playstation VR. I cannot take it off my head. Even when Resident Evil's combination of three-axis (three!) camera motion and brownish-green hues make me sick.

Go back in time | Timeline | Viking Northumbria | Go forward in time
Eric Bloodaxe 946AD-989AD
When Eric Bloodaxe became King of York in 948AD he claimed all of Northumbria as his own. He had one rival - Earl Oswulf of Bamburgh. Supported by the King of Wessex, Oswulf employed an agent to murder Bloodaxe at Stainmore high in the Pennines near to where the A66 runs today. On Eric's death, the 350 year old Kingdom of Northumbria came to an end. The King of Wessex became King of all England. The North-East had lost its independence for good.

May 26, 946AD - ENGLISH KING ASSASINATED (England)
Edmund, King of England, has been assassinated, he has been succeeded by his son, Eadred.
946AD - ARCHBISHOP SUBMITS BUT PLANS TO GIVE NORTH TO BLOODAXE (West Yorkshire)
Wulfstan, the Archbishop of York, has submitted to Eadred at Tanshelf in the south of Northumbria. Eadred is unaware that Wulfstan plans to offer the Kingdom of York to Eric Bloodaxe, the King of Norway.
948AD - ERIC BLOODAXE BECOMES KING OF YORK (York)
Eric Bloodaxe - part Norse, part Danish - has been elected King of York and lays claim to the whole of Northumbria.
948AD - BLOODAXE OUSTED BY NEW WESSEX KING (Ripon)
Yorkshire support for Eric Bloodaxe has been subdued following an attack from Eadred, the King of England. Bloodaxe has been ousted by Eadred in favour of a new candidate. Ripon minster is severely destroyed during the confrontation and Odo, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has taken the relics of St Wilfrid and reburied them at Canterbury. Because of the uncertainty in the North-East, King Malcolm of Scotland has raided as far south as the River Tees.
949AD - OLAF SIHTRICSON BECOMES KING OF YORK (York)
Olaf Sihtricson, a Viking from Dublin, has become the King of York. He is thought to have gained the support of Eadred, King of England, who would rather see Olaf in power than the powerful Eric Bloodaxe who is somewhere in exile. Wulfstan, Archbishop of York, has been imprisoned for supporting Eric Bloodaxe.
952AD - BLOODAXE REINSTATED AT YORK (York)
Olaf Sihtricson has failed to gain support in York and Eric Bloodaxe has been reinstated by the men of Yorkshire. Eric visits the shrine of St Cuthbert at Chester-le-Street. This pilgrimage has become something of a tradition among powerful kings - in pr evious years English kings who have visited the shrine have included King Athelstan, King Edmund and King Eadred.
954AD - BLOODAXE MURDERED ON BLEAK STAINMORE (Stainmore, Teesdale)
Eric Bloodaxe has been murdered in the bleak moors of Stainmore in Teesdale by Maccus, an agent of Oswulf Ealdulfing, the High Reeve or Earl of Bamburgh, who rules Northumbria north of the Tees. Oswulf is a supporter of Eadred, the King of Wessex and Eng land, who may have encouraged the murder. Eric's death signifies the end of northern independence and from now on Yorkshire and the North-East will be ruled as part of England by Kings in the south.

966AD - NORWEGIANS ESTABLISH SCARBOROUGH (Scarborough)
Viking brothers called Thorgils and Kormak in the service of King Harald Grafeld, King of Norway, have established a stronghold at Scarborough while harrying in Ireland, England and Wales. Thorgils was known to his brother by the nickname 'Hare Lip', or in the Viking language 'Skarthi' . It is probable that 'Hare-Lip' gave his name to Scarborough. There may already have been an Anglo-Saxon settlement on the site and there was certainly a Roman signal station here.
971AD - SCOTS RAID AS FAR AS TEESDALE (North-East)
Kenneth, King of Scotland, has raided the North-East as far as Stainmore, Teesdale.
972AD - St OSWALD BECOMES ARCHBISHOP OF YORK (York)
St Oswald, the Bishop of Worcester, has been appointed the Bishop of York. He is a Midlander by birth but is of Danish descent. St Oswald replaces St Ethelwold who only became Archbishop of York last year. He is sometimes confused with the earlier St Oswald who was a once king of Northumria.
974AD - KING DISCUSSES THE NORTH-EAST'S FUTURE (Cheshire)
King Edgar has held a meeting with Kenneth, King of the Scots, and the Kings of Cumbria, the Islands and five other kings at Chester. The meeting is thought to have been a discussion regarding the Scottish claim to land north of the Tees. Edgar, who impr essed the northern kings with his great army, is likely to have told them to keep their hands off the region which has been a great supporter of kings in the south.

All Premiere:
"arms that work," "Lost in Light,"
"Kammermusik No. 3," and "Sum Stravinsky"
Pacific Northwest Ballet
McCaw Hall
Seattle, Washington
3 November 2012 (matinee and evening)
by Helene Kaplan
copyright 2012 by Helene Kaplan
Peter Boal spoke and wrote that presenting a program of world premieres was a risk. When it was all over, the program felt familiar, even cozy. The new Mark Morris ballet, "Kammermusik No. 3" fit into the cooler end of the neoclassical spectrum, like Boal's choices by Ratmansky, Wheeldon, Robbins, and previously unknown-to-Seattle Balanchine, but the ballets "Sum Stravinsky" by Kiyon Gaines and "Lost in Light" by Margaret Mullin, and the contemporary work, Andrew Bartee's "arms that work," had a warmth and diversity that could easily have been part of a program by Francia Russell and Kent Stowell, who presented company premieres of works by Tudor, Dumais, Caniparoli, Gibson, and Limon and who gave Kiyon Gaines and Olivier Wevers their first opportunities on the Main Stage.
The work opens with a solo woman, whose gestures are the base from which the movement develops, and she's soon joined by the ensemble. Some of the gestures were semaphore-like, and one striking image is the upright "Usain Bolt," with a family resemblance to Morris' antiquity-based work, and, while there is a pas de deux and a pas de quatre, for the most part, if there is music, it is the ensemble's ballet. There is a curious male solo in silence between movements, added close to the premiere; it begins with the vocabulary of the first movement, almost like an echo but then shifts to a virtuosic classical ballet vocabulary, and it is like observing a dancer playing in the studio. While it is lovely to watch, and it was brilliantly danced by Jonathan Porretta in the matinee performance, it looks neither like a bridge or a logical break; the music provides enough of a shift.

The upright, rigid series of repeating motifs in the first movement evolves into the vertical precariousness of the slow movement, particularly in the pas de quatre, where a woman climbs among three men and then collapses into them. By contrast, the last movement goes horizontal, with groups of dancers skipping and skimming the across the stage -- truly eye-catching -- until one starts to limp. More and more dancers limp and fall horizontally as traffic zips around them. After the initial shock they get up and get going, albeit in a more precarious landscape. "Kammermusik No. 3" has all of Morris' signature pattern-making, and, where there is a score, his fidelity to the music made it a visual delight.

Except for an injury substitution on opening weekend -- Margaret Mullin for Carla Korbes -- the two casts were discrete in rehearsal and performance, and their performances could not have been more different. When Mark Morris' own dancers perform in unison, the women especially ache individuality, and not just because of the range of heights and body types: were they to be used as the basis for animated characters and sized identically through a graphics program, there would be no mistaking Lauren Grant from Michelle Yard from Amber Merkins; their movement is that unique. The matinee cast for the most part captured the plain quality of movement without preparation, but with the exception of a trio of men -- Benjamin Griffiths, Porretta, and Price Suddarth -- the dancers, from across company hierarchy, appeared almost anti-individualistic, and while their movement was articulate, it was introverted and strangely enervated, with only an occasional sense of why this dance mattered. By contrast, the energy from the evening cast was palpable and the choreography's dynamic range was clear. Carrie Imler captured attention from her first opening semaphore-like gesture. The only "but" from this cast was stylistic, the slight breath they took before initiating the movement, but the power and pulse of their dancing as if they were unique parts of a single organism was mesmerizing, and it looked like a different piece entirely, one that followed the ebb and flow of the powerful Hindemith score, beautifully played by the PNB orchestra and Page Smith, the cello soloist, a long-time friend of the choreographer.
"Sum Stravinsky" was originally planned for an "All Stravinsky" program to open the season, hence Peter Boal's insistence that Kiyon Gaines, the most experienced dancer-choreographer in the Company, use a Stravinsky score; in the post-budget program scramble, the ballet was moved to the "All Premiere" program. After listening to most of Stravinsky's works, and with the legacy of Balanchine and Stowell in mind, Gaines chose "Dumbarton Oaks." This score often resembles "Rubies" in its pulse and arc, and Gaines not only choreographed each movement to build to a climax, each subsequent movement built upon the other to reach the ballet's driving conclusion.
Gaines begins each movement with a female solo. Like in Mark Morris' ballet, that soloist has to capture attention immediately and lead the ballet, before being joined by her partner and corps couples. In the afternoon performance, Sarah Ricard Orza danced well but remotely, but she showed more verve when partnered by James Moore and as part of the ensemble. Moore is most often showcased in contemporary solos or, occasionally, as a romantic lead like Franz or Romeo, but I've never seen him lead -- come center and command -- a neoclassical ballet before, and in "Sum Stravinsky," he did this as if it were an everyday event. In the same roles in the evening, Kaori Nakamura danced the opening movement lead and took charge of the ballet from its opening notes. Her partner was Benjamin Griffiths. They're not often paired, but they have beautiful, matching lines and clarity in their movements, and his plushness complements her quickness.
The opening of the second movement is an extended female solo that ends with a false exit, as her partner pulls her back onstage for their central pas de deux. In the afternoon cast Maria Chapman performed the opening solo with sharpness and wit, and the pas de deux with Karel Cruz was a strong, sensual, adult conversation. Kylee Kitchens danced this role in the evening with the same confidence that has been building since her promotion to soloist last season. Gaines said that he choreographed different versions of the pas de deux for each of his couples -- there were three casts opening weekend -- and the version for Kitchens and Joshua Grant was very elegant, showcasing Kitchens' long limbs.

In the third movement, Laura Gilbreath was sharp and dynamic, and she and Seth Orza drove the work home rhythmically. Kudos to Gaines for casting the three well-over-six-footers in the corps -- Charles McCall, Joshua Grant, and William Lin-Yee -- together in the third movement of one cast and showcasing the visual force of the stage picture they made. The corps couples, some of whom switched partners and movements from one performance to the next, belied the short rehearsal period with as strong performances as I've seen them do. It looked like a labor of love, and the ballet Gaines gave them was worthy of their efforts.
Margaret Mullin and Andrew Bartee collaborated on a work for the 2010 "Next Step" choreographic showcase. This year Boal asked them contribute individual works for the company, and they took two different paths: Bartee worked in the contemporary vein in which he's performed with Olivier Wevers' Whim W'him, and Mullin took inspiration from Antony Tudor. Unlike the Hindemith and Stravinsky scores that seemed, in the hands of Morris and Gaines, to dance themselves, Mullin and Bartee each chose a new, atmospheric score. Bartee chose a score by fellow dancer Jessika Anspach's brother, Barret Anspach, and Mullin's chose a work by Dan Coleman. Young choreographers often make dances that they'd look good in themselves, and Mullin and Bartee were no exception.
For "arms that work" Bartee uses a contemporary vocabulary that is at least first cousin to Wevers' work, and from what projected, he keeps to a specific and coherent movement palate. The work, though, suffers from the same issues that Annabel Lopez Ochao's "Cylindrical Shows" did when it was moved from the smaller Intiman (now Seattle Playhouse) stage to the large McCaw Hall stage, when many of the nuances were lost and the dynamics did not carry, apart from Lopez Ochao's main and moving pas de deux. In the Q&A's dancers spoke about the making of the work, of the relationships and dynamics intended; for example, after a physical collision Jessika Anspach's character's trajectory is knocked onto a new, random course, but that wasn't at all clear from the First Tier or Upper Gallery, the center of the theater. The set, a frame running the length of the stage with a curved top and vertical elastic bands to create the rails, looks like a benign garden gate, and neither the distinction between inside and outside nor the physical breakthroughts themselves provide much punch. The strongest part of the work is the opening, contentious fragment of a pas de deux for Kaori Nakamura and James Moore in front of the gate: it feels incomplete when they race offstage, leaving a hole that is emotionally resonant. Carrie Imler and Angelica Generosa were both vivid in short spurts, but there was nothing sustained about their presence.

Bartee as a dancer on the Main Stage has been equally elusive with some notable exceptions: he was a vivid, detailed Gamache in Ratmansky's "Don Quixote," and he danced a demi-soloist role in last April's "Carmina Burana" with striking energy. His strongest performances, though, have come with Whim W'him, especially "Flower Festival," where his passive-aggressive determination to set the pace of the stylized boxing match was brilliantly realized -- the way he carefully draped his clothes over a chair while Lucien Postlewaite nearly exploded with impatience was a master stroke -- but those subtleties and shifts that are so clear on a small stage are lost in bigger spaces and across large distances. Even the practice set, with its smaller, square, cage-like apparatus, had more of a visceral impact. Bartee is an intimate dancer, and from what I could glean,"arms that work" is an intimate work, and without detail and proximity, the work pales.
The strength of the opening section of Margaret Mullin's "Lost in Light" was the strict discipline she used in choosing her movement vocabulary, particularly in pas de deux for the corps, and to that extent, she was true to Tudor as an inspiration. She could easily have danced this ballet, but she didn't ask her dancers to look like her: what she inspired in her colleagues was a level of energy that she brings to the stage. The choreography for the women was especially alive, from the partnered work to the brilliant solo she choreographed for Brittany Reid that balanced detail and sweep, and which Reid danced with clarity and stature. Mullin also created an especially lovely pas de deux for ensemble couple Carli Samuelson and Kiyon Gaines. Samuelson is often cast as a Friend in demi-soloist roles, and she has an eye-catching radiance in small ensembles. In the solo roles I've seen her in, she's stiffened, as if she is trying to impress her teacher. In Mullin's pas de deux, she was all warmth and flow, luxuriating in the choreographey, and Kiyon Gaines was her elegant partner. I'm not sure if it was the strongest and most individual male role in the ballet or whether Gaines made it that much his own, but it was wonderful to see Gaines on the performing end, embodying a fellow dancer's vision in the same rep in which his own work premiered.

When Mullin got to the central pas de deux for Laura Gilbreath and Seth Orza, that is where the discipline broke down. She used elements of the same vocabulary, but rather than build or evolve them into something bigger, Mullin added a lot of disparate elements that ended up looking like highlight moves from another kind of ballet rather than a deepening of the emotional landscape or an inevitable response to the music. Gilbreath and Orza danced it well and with commitment, but it was a cul de sac instead of a continuation.
When a new works bill is presented by experienced choreographers, the results can be spotty: apart from the Balanchine and Robbins, and most recently, the Wheeldon and Ratmansky works, the number of new or recently choreographed mixed rep ballets over the last 20 years at PNB that have had more than one season's worth of performances or repeated after the initial licensing period is relatively small. "Sum Stravinsky" is a work that could play on any North American stage: the dancers look like stars in it. I'd love to see "arms that work" on a smaller stage, and "Lost in Light" was well worth seeing, especially for its strong opening movement. Peter Boal mitigated the risk by having Mark Morris' work be an anchor to the program, and since Morris used over half of the company in his two casts, practically speaking, young, flexible choreographers were a good complement, scheduling-wise. The dancers showed as much generosity and commitment to their own dancer-choreographers as they did to a master choreographer: they showed the kind of commitment that carries over the footlights.

THE TIMELAPSE - 'It's Child's Play' EP (Sneaky Pete Records 391001) 1988
A recent purchase has been this four song EP by German group The Timelapse, who on evidence of this platter, were very much influenced by the English mod freakbeat sounds of 1966/67. It has been suggested that the group were based in Bonn.
All four well known songs on the disc are cover versions, which could fill some with horror, but believe me when I say that The Timelapse really do this material justice. In every way this is a classy reproduction with nailed on vocals, guitar sound and authentic drums '66 style.
My highlight is their take on the mod psycher 'Desdemona', originally recorded by John's Children which goes into a Pink Floyd trip at it's conclusion. An excellent sound that reminds me of the same kind of trip that early Plasticland were on.
The back of the sleeve credits The Timelapse in their English named alter egos:
Sir Francis Deekaye (bass)
Mitch Mason (drums)
Andy Bowland (vocals / guitar)
songs on EP:
Desdemona (John's Children)
Brown Paper Sack (The Mods)
Jagged Time Lapse (John's Children)
Rain (The Beatles)
|this is where The Timelapse got their idea for this EP. Heavily based on this article from a 60s FABulous magazine.
Rocco Clein (* July 20 1968 in Munich , † February 1st 2004 in Cologne ; civil Stefan Bickerich) was a German music journalist and musician.
At the age of 17 he formed his first band, the Oxalic Lynxs, with whom he published some plates. Clein wrote, among other things, for the music magazines Visions and Spex , and for the youth magazine now the Süddeutsche Zeitung . It was mainly through his broadcasts with the music channels VIVA and VIVA Two well-known to a wide audience. In particular, as an editor of the consignment Wah Wah on this channel had Clein significant share of it, to make known to a wider public the German independent music scene. In addition, he also presented several times in the Neustrelitz held Immergut Festival as well as the Rhine Culture in Bonn . In 2000, he received the video "Black Fez" of the Euro Boys Norwegian Grammy.
He died on 1 February 2004 at the age of 35 from the effects of a cerebral hemorrhage . On 5 February, he was buried in Bonn upper Kassel, his grave stone bears the inscription "Always on my mind". He left behind two children. (Wikipedia)

News in Brief
DeVos Continued Investing in Company While It Was Under Investigation
When the family of U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos increased its financial stake in Neurocore this spring, the controversial "neurofeedback" company was being investigated by an advertising-industry group for making questionable claims about its treatments for such conditions as autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and memory loss.
The National Advertising Division formally recommended last month that the company stop making a wide range of advertising claims and stop promoting many of its user testimonials. Neurocore is appealing the decision.
On Feb. 10, the group alerted Neurocore that it was opening an investigation into the company's advertising claims. Subsequently, DeVos or one of her immediate family members invested more than $1 million and maybe more than $5 million.
The National Advertising Division said the investigation was initiated in part because Neurocore's claims appear to target "uniquely vulnerable" audiences.

Tai Chi for Women
The Qi energy that has been harnessed over the century for its life giving force has ironically been underutilized by the most life giving souls — women! Perhaps martial arts was not considered ladylike or her prerogative in a patriarchal society, but the number of women taking Tai Chi Chuan is growing rapidly. The class follows the basic foundations of Tai Chi but we will apply them to those nagging issues plaguing womankind — PMS, weight gain, osteoporosis, menopause, depression, fatigue.

Hi @MikeT ,
When importing your existing vaults, we do link them in both direction and that is only because attachments were attached to the item itself, so they're linked like so.
I just signed up for a 1P account and migrated everything from v6 to the v7 beta by using the Share -> Copy to get everything from my old standalone vaults to the 1P account vaults. All attachments were saved as individual documents and links created in their place in the original items, but the documents are not linked, as you seemed to imply should be the case, back to their items.
Hi @twilsonco,
Share > Copy is not the same as importing the vault directly into your 1Password account's vault, we actually recommend migrating by import because the import process will convert them rather than just making a straight copy like Share > Copy. If you just did this now without making any changes, I would recommend to import the standalone vaults using the 1Password Menu > Import option instead. You can also create a new vault on 1Password.com website to test the import and see it works better for you.
Here are the details of migrating your standalone vaults to 1Password.com account's vault.
I tried that method, and selected 1Password 6 as the import source, but it wouldn't let me select the opvault files, so I was stumped.... Seems the only way to get the opvault files into 1P was to just open them with 1P; is that the same as an import? (sorry for hijacking the thread!)
Hi @twilsonco,
I've split our discussion into its own thread. When you said it wouldn't select OPVault folder, can you give me more details on what happened when you do select the folder?
Here's what it looks like:
To import, you have to use the 1Password Menu > Import, expand the AgileKeychain or OPVault folder option and click on the select a folder button.
Here's what I see after clicking File -> Import in 1P7 beta on macOS:
And when I navigate to the directory containing my opvault files, they're not selectable:
Hi @twilsonco,
You've replying in the Windows beta forum. macOS does not yet support bi-directional linking during the import.
Also, macOS doesn't do OPVault/AgileKeychain import like this, you'd have to copy it manually like you did before. We're looking to making this consistent on the macOS side too but they may take a while to implement.
Ha! Well that explains everything...
Sorry about the confusion, we're on a path to making all 1Password apps consistent but it will take a while.
Don't take this too personally Mike, but you guys really bungled the migration process from 1Password 6 to 1Password7, for macOS users at least. I was an evangelist for your product prior to the release of 1Password 7 but the experience of having to manually import every single thing just to get this update to work has left a bad taste in my mouth.
@adammurnane: I'm not sure I follow. What's the problem you're having? It sounds like you're using a Mac, but as mentioned above this is a discussion about a Windows beta from April. Happy to help if you'll let us know more about your situation though!

Welcome! Please feel free to discover my world and the power of being. As I grow, I learn. As I learn, I share. As I share, I grow… And it cycles forever.
What is Puissance?
A good answer is located near the bottom at Wikipedia. It basically means power, might, or if you prefer, mighty Power Ranger. It is also my username for forums, gaming communities, and other online related things. I used to be Puisne, but I have evolved the name.
Derivation of Puissance
My first name is Mang Pui. Yes, it is unique. The meaning of Mang Pui (孟沛) in Chinese is literally eminent copious. My parents tell me that it's plenty of energy or energetic. I searched a dictionary to find words beginning with 'Pui' and Puissance was one of them.
What is this blog for?
I will be using this blog to share my interests and knowledge. This is where you will find content outside of my professional life. In addition, this blog will act as an autobiography for future generations to journey through my thoughts and experiences.
Want to know more?
Here's a little something about me. I am a University of Waterloo graduate from the Arts & Business program, majoring in Psychology and specializing in Human Resources Management. I am also an aspiring entrepreneur. I have so many interests that I cannot list them, so read my blog and find out.
You can also Google search me.

Each time I visit the USA (which I definitely try and do with every overseas trip!), I always plan in a visit(s) to a national park, preferably a different one each visit.
My last visit to the states we hired a camper van and did a road trip around California and into Nevada for the Burning Man festival. On the list was a visit to the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges. This mountain range is primarily in California and part of the range in Nevada and if you have not visited the area of seen pictures of it – IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
After researching which day hike to do, we decided on hiking Little Lakes Valley. This hike looked to be the most picturesque, not too challenging and not too far from where we were camping. The hike itself is not too hard, however as you will be hiking from 10,000 to 12,000 feet, this may impact you.
The hike starts from the Mosquito Flat Trailhead and signs are visible along the trail. The views are incredible right from the start. The mountain range is in sight the entire hike and we passed so many of the little lakes, it is obvious to where the name of the valley originated. My camera had yet another work out hiking past flowers in bloom, artists painting the landscapes and the changing foliage from green pastures to barren rock. You can make the hike as short or as long as you like, as there are many areas to enjoy and relax.
We met some fellow hikers along the way and I always love a chat. We met one guy, named Jeremy, who was planning on solo hiking in the area for a couple of weeks. Jeremy was planning on staying the night at Chickenfoot Lake, so we all continued our hike with Jeremy and then enjoyed lunch at Chickenfoot Lake at his campsite. It's always interesting to see how other people set up their campsite and in the USA, you need to be prepared for bears. I learnt all about bear canisters and what precautions to take to minimise a bear from wandering near your campsite from a very experienced hiker.
Chickenfoot Lake was our turnaround point, however you can continue further to Mono Pass, where you will reach 12,000 feet and onwards to Summit Lake.
Must know:
- There is no water on the trail – bring your own supply
- It can get very hot over the summer in this area so please check the weather and plan accordingly
- Due to the altitude, seek professional advice before undertaking this hike if you are concerned
- Bears live in this area, therefore plan accordingly, especially if overnight hiking

Europe to investigate high UK iTunes pricesBy Derek Sooman
Consumer organisation Which? has made complaints to the UK Office of Fair Trading about the price Apple's iTunes Music Store is charging its UK customers, which is higher than in the rest of Europe. Apparently, songs are on average something like 20 per cent more expensive to buy in the UK than in the rest of the EU. This opens the door to Apple being eventually fined for anti-competitive practices, since it will doubtlessly find it hard to prove that the increased price in the UK was justified and fair.
