Research interests and objectives
Studies are conducted along the following axes:
- Comparative genomics of Phytophthora parasitica pathogenicity, molecular basis and evolution of host range
- Importance of oomycete effectors in plant recognition and host defense response manipulation
- Plant signalling pathways promoting disease
- Deciphering mechanisms underlying biology and ecology of oomycete biofilms
- Characterization of plant defense and identification of molecules stimulating protection
- Interacting Oomycetes : a source of emerging concepts in Plant Pathology
Current priorities
- What are the mechanisms involved in oomycete pathogenicity ?
- Which genes are involved in the definition and evolution of Phytophthora host specificity ?
- Which plant functions favor pathogen penetration and the success of infection ?
- Can we define the relationships of plant pathogen oomyetes with their biotic environment?
- How can we stimulate plant defenses in order to improve resistance ?
Biological models studied
Oomycetes :
- Phytophthora spp. pathogenic to solanaceous hosts
- Phytophthora parasitica, hemibiotrophic root pathogen
- Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis, biotrophic leaf pathogen
Plants :
- Model plant : Arabidopsis thaliana
- Plants of economical interest: Solanaceae family (tomato, pepper…)
Scientific expertise
The originality of the group relies in developing research efforts on both partners under conditions of susceptibility as well as of resistance. In addition, our respective know-how and the structure of our team favour the contribution of our different studies to the definition of a collective, multifaceted project that is conducted at different levels:
- structure and function of oomycete pathogenicity effectors
- comparative geomics and transcriptomics on complete genomes
- adaptive repsonses of pathogen populations to the selection pressure of crops in the field
- investigation of multitrophic interactions involving oomycetes, plants and rhizosphere
- the identification of novel anti-oomycete molecules
Scientific partnerships and supports
- National partnerships: teams of INRA and CNRS (Avignon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Rennes), private plant breeders (Sygenta, Vilmorin, Gautier, Rijk Zwaan..), industrial partners (BayerCropScience) ; Members of the Signalife Labex project.
- International partnerships: Universities of Brno (Czec. Republic), Halle, Tübingen, Munich, Erlangen et Giessen (Germany), Cordoba (Spain), Bowling Green State (OH, USA), Corvallis (OR, USA), Riverside (CA, USA), Yangling (China) and Canberra (Australia); Broad Institute (MA, USA), LaFayette College (PA, USA), Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (Inde); Industrial partners (KWS/Planta, Germany).
- Coordination of nartional networks (GenOom, comparative genomics of oomycetes, INDRES).
Our research aims at proposing novel targets for the control of plant pathogenic oomycetes. These targets might be used for the development of efficient oomycides, and for the creation of new resistance ressources in plants.

*Oomycetes are eukaryotic microorganisms that include devastative plant pathogens, and then constitute a major threat to agriculture and environment worldwide. Pathogenic species from the genera Phytophthora and Pythium, as well as some obligate pathogens (Bremia, Plasmopara…) generally cause major damages on virtually all dicot plants, and may also attack cereals and subsistence crops. The importance of oomycete diseases during the XIXth century (potato blight leading to the Irish famine, vine mildew, citrus gummosis…) throughout the world is at the origin of Phytopathology as a genuine scientifical disipline, and substantially shaped the bases of modern crop protection, through the development of chemical control and breeding for resistance.
Despite similar physiological and ecological traits shared with fungi, oomycetes display phylogenetic affinities with diatoms and brown algae among Chromalveolates, that include dinoflagellates and several animal pathogens (Plasmodium,Toxoplasma, Theileria...). As a consequence of this taxonomical position, most traditional fungicide molecules are generally poorly efficient, because they have been developed against true pathogenic fungi. In addition, adaptive potential of oomycetes in response to their environment leads to a rapid breakdown of varietal resistances. So, the development of integrated management strategies that would be more efficient and environmentally friendly implies a better knowledge on the mechanisms that govern oomycete physiology and pathogenicity.

Your child is only 17 months old , imo it's premature to be thinking about barring the Dad from the child's life. It's extremely hard on a kid to believe their biological father abandoned them . I would still be hoping that the Dad will come around to doing the right thing for the child.
Don't get me wrong , I would be Pissed !! But your child still has a whole life to live and to live it with issues of abandonment is not what's best ,if it can be avoided.

"At best tell him you want him to sign his rights over and then you'll let him have supervised visitation 3 or 4 times a year for the benifit of your child. As for consistant visitation no way, he had his chance."
Really? Because sporadic visitation is so much better than consistent visitation?
Anyway, in response to the OP, I can understand why you would want to refuse any visitation if he ever asks, but just remember, people can change. For the sake of your son, you should always keep the door open for him to have a relationship with his biological father if either party wants to, and YOU don't want to be the one who has stopped that from happening. This is about your child's rights to know his dad. If his dad shuts the door on that by not contacting him, then you can't control that, BUT if YOU shut the door on that option, your son will hold you responsible for that. When he is 15, and he finds out you refused any visitation with his dad....do you think he will thank you?

Its not that I wanna cut I'm out... But I tried my whole pregnancy to keep him involved in everything but he kept cutting me out saying rude and mean shit... And as his mom I'm gonna protect my son heart from being broken and stepped on... I gave him plenty of chances and opportunity to get it together and he like leave me alone...

You should not be the one to cut Dad out of the child's life. You should be doing everything possible to encourage a relationship between them.
Children need and deserve both parents whenever possible !! Short of abuse a father and child should be in each other lives. Of course you cant make him be a dad but it's also not your place to cut him out , your child would grow up to resent you.

Renewables sector responds to Spending Review
Renewable energy groups have welcomed the Government's commitment to renewable heat, in the wake of the Spending Review.
The Chancellor surprised many yesterday by announcing he would increase funding for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) to £1.15 billion by 2020-21 – a programme many thought would be scrapped.
The Chief Executive of the Renewable Energy Association (REA), Dr. Nina Skorupska, welcomed the government's commitment to renewable heat and said she was "pleased they have listened to industry and our members".
"Our members recognised the need to make savings and presented to Treasury and DECC how we could optimise the RHI budget. A £700m cut is large, but we look forward to working with the government on reforming this crucial area," added Dr Skorupska.
"We still have a large challenge in hitting our renewable heat targets, and the RHI alone won't achieve it, heat networks, energy efficiency and Green Gas still have a large part to play."
The Chief Executive of the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), Charlotte Morton, also welcomed the Government's commitments around renewable hat.
"Making RHI funding available for new projects to 2020/21 will clearly help support our industry's ambition," said Ms Morton.
"The Chancellor's decision to delay significant growth within the RHI budget next year, however, leaves uncertainty around the level of funding which will be available for new projects in 2016. It's challenging for any industry to endure a period of hiatus where jobs and investment are put on hold – or even at risk – as businesses wait for government policy to catch up with growth capability."
But the Solar Trade Association (STA) said it was disappointed with the Spending Review, and highlighted the news that the Department of Energy and Climate Change's core budget will be cut by 22% by 2019-20.
"Energy policy is a highly technical and complex policy area where in-depth analysis of every sector is needed in order to avoid costly errors," said STA Chief Executive, Paul Barwell.

Anatole France famously observed more than a century ago that "the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." In some respects, the disparate impact of an evenhanded law may be unavoidable, but lawyers, who benefit handsomely from the legal system, have a duty to prevent limited access to legal services from compounding that problem.
At the same time, it is well known that business clients are focused on reducing legal fees and, in particular, are rewarding law firms who can efficiently staff matters. One area of particular concern among law firms that litigate large corporate matters has been securing top notch training for their new lawyers. Gone are the days when even large firms took in matters of all sizes and were able to train new lawyers in the crucible of small-scale business litigation. In house and NITA training for depositions and trial examinations have their place but are no substitute for work with real witnesses and in front of real jurors. The needs of the courts for attorneys in private practice to provide legal assistance to low income persons and to the courts in non-frivolous pro bono matters provide numerous opportunities for law firms and attorneys to satisfy their obligations to the community and to provide the training and skill sharpening needed by new lawyers in business law firms. Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP has enthusiastically taken advantage of those opportunities.
One area where the firm has been active is with the Delaware District Court's Federal Civil Panel, which was formed to provide representation to indigent individuals who file potentially meritorious civil cases pro se . Most of those cases have been brought by prison inmates. Cases assigned are by appointment by the district court judges, and Young Conaway has taken four to trial before a jury - winning two - and has others under way. The Young Conaway lawyers appointed to these cases practice primarily in the Delaware District Court, and the cases have proven to be good vehicles to train and expose new lawyers to the district court judges, as well as to maintain the firm's exposure before the district court judges and satisfy our professional obligations.
The first case to go to trial was Atkinson v. Taylor. Atkinson was a prison inmate who filed suit against several Delaware Department of Correction officials, alleging that he had been harmed by extended exposure to environmental tobacco smoke ("ETS") in his cell. The cause of action he attempted to assert had been recognized by the Supreme Court, but not as Atkinson pled it. The court granted a motion to dismiss, without prejudice, and referred the case to the Panel. It was reviewed by Richard Morse, Chair of Young Conaway's Litigation and Trial Practice Section, who, after several meetings with Atkinson, filed a complaint that properly alleged an ETS claim. The complaint also asserted a more substantial claim: Atkinson alleged that he had been repeatedly harassed by one of the defendants in his ETS suit, a prison guard, in retaliation for that suit, and that he was otherwise mistreated by prison guards. Atkinson alleged that he had been deprived of food and medication, repeatedly subjected to unnecessary strip searches, verbally tormented over a prison intercom, and was otherwise harassed. The case was actively litigated, with five separate case dispositive motions and an interlocutory appeal. The case went to trial, where the primary issue was whether the jury should believe Atkinson, who had a record of crimes involving dishonesty, and two inmate witnesses, or the Department of Correction defendants and an inmate who supported their position. At the conclusion of a week long trial, the jury found for Atkinson on the harassment claim and awarded him $100,000. It rejected the ETS claim, finding that while Atkinson had been exposed to unreasonably high levels of ETS, he was not entitled to recover on that claim because the exposure did not cause actual injury.
John Shaw, a complex commercial litigation lawyer and chair of the firm's Intellectual Property Litigation Section, tried two Federal Civil Panel cases on behalf of indigent prisoners to a jury in 2005. In the first case, a prison inmate alleged that he suffered permanent vision damage as the result of an attack by corrections officers. The plaintiff claimed that he was taken to a secluded area outside the prison, ordered to perform kick a 300 pound log while on his hands and knees, and, when he refused, was tackled by eight prison guards and showered with pepper spray. Dawn Jones and Mike McDermott, a third year and first year lawyer respectively, took all of the depositions and each examined four witnesses at trial, including the defense medical expert. Shaw handled the document production, written discovery, summary judgment briefing, supervised the younger lawyers, and conducted the opening, closing, and several witness examinations at trial. After several hours of deliberations, the jury awarded both compensatory and punitive damages to the client. Shaw's second case was not successful, and ended with a defense verdict after three hours of deliberations.
As a result of this and other work, the Delaware District Court awarded the Caleb R. Layton Service Award to Morse in 2002 and 2004 and to Shaw in 2006 in recognition of service to the Court and to the bar of the Court.
Young Conaway not only takes on federal matters, but also volunteers in the Delaware state legal system. In 2005 the firm responded to a plea from Delaware Volunteer Legal Services for help in child custody cases. DVLS is confronted almost daily with requests for help from victims of domestic violence who are engaged in disputes over child custody, and the need for volunteer lawyers far exceeds the number the Family Court bar can supply. DVLS has sought to have several large firms form panels of lawyers who can handle the cases. Young Conaway put together a group of approximately 20 lawyers (both junior and senior) who expressed a willingness to handle the custody cases. The idea was that, while each attorney would take individual responsibility for cases, a group of lawyers handling one type of case in an area foreign to their everyday practices would develop expertise that could be shared among group members. These cases are often contentious and provide good stand-up training for our new lawyers. Because both junior and senior lawyers have volunteered, our newest lawyers can be supervised and trained as part of our volunteer service.
The firm's lawyers have also become active as attorney guardians ad litem in a program administered by the Office of the Child Advocate, a state agency that seeks to serve dependant and neglected children who have been removed from parental custody. Last year 32 attorneys represented the interests of children in 46 cases. The participating attorneys again ranged in experience from junior associates to very senior attorneys. For example, the busiest corporate lawyer in the firm, Dave McBride, represented three children, aged 7, 8 and 10, who had been placed in the state's custody when their mother was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and offensive touching.
The state placed the children with their maternal grandmother, who later sought custody. The father of two of the children, who had not had an ongoing relationship with them immediately prior to the state's acquiring custody, sought custody of his children and permission to relocate them to his home in Pennsylvania. After proceedings were begun to have the father's circumstances investigated by Pennsylvania authorities, he asserted that under the facts of the case he, as the father, was peremptorily entitled to custody. Thus, he sought termination of the investigation and dismissal of a pending custody petition. Believing that continuation of the investigation would be in the children's best interests, McBride wrote and filed a brief arguing that a decision awarding custody to the father would be premature. Along with one of Young Conaway's investigators, he also conducted his own investigation in Pennsylvania.
A custody decision was deferred, and the case proceeded through a number of hearings and conferences with the court. McBride repeatedly met with the children and the adults in their lives, and had the privilege of watching them clamber through Chancellor William Chandler's chambers, where they had been invited while visiting the Chancery courthouse. A little over a year after the case began, Family Court awarded custody of all three children to the grandmother.
Participation in pro bono work is important at Young Conaway, and is considered in compensation and advancement decisions. Young Conaway believes its pro bono clients benefit from its attorneys' efforts. But the firm benefits as well, from the personal and professional satisfaction the pro bono cases provide, and from the experience younger lawyers obtain in handling their cases.
Richard H. Morse and John W. Shaw are Partners of Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP in Wilmington, Delaware. Mr. Morse chairs the firm's Litigation and Trial Practice Section. Mr. Shaw chairs the firm's Intellectual Property Litigation section. Both Mr. Morse and Mr. Shaw have been recipients of the Caleb R. Layton Service Award by the Judges of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

Today I started on the next batch of scrumpy, and I think that the frost may have helped break down the apples alot more than my first attempt as I got twice as much juice from three pressings than last time. Although washing the apples in freezing cold water was not as exciting.
here is a tip for anybody who is using a crank press for the first time, make sure that none of the blocks of wood are touching the sides, as I found out today after nearly breaking the thing.
Here is the boy lending a helping hand
This makes for a beautiful photo but the reality was very different.

When I wake up on this day, I'm in a different city, with a different life and no memory of the lives I had before this one. Today is the tenth time this has happened to me. The tenth time I've had to figure out where the hell I am. The tenth time I've had to try and work out who the hell I am. This is the tenth alteration of the person I am. Each of us has had different lives, different backgrounds and different families. But there's always been one constant.
He's the reason I keep doing this. He's the reason I spend four years searching. If I'm lucky, I'll get the trigger and find him quickly and we can spend those four years together before I disappear again. If I'm not, we might get a year, a month or even just a day. Once we got nothing, but that was a choice.
And every time it happens, he patiently waits for me. He says that every time I come back to him, it's like falling in love with me all over again. I say that every time I come back, I fall even more in love with him than before.
It scares me that one day I won't be able to find him at all, because when that day comes, I'm not sure I'll want to keep going. He is my strength, my protector, my one and only constant.
I love him.
He loves me.
But every four years, I lose myself.
And every four years, I have to find him.
This is our story.
4 Stars!
"I'll be here waiting for you," he says, his eyes never leaving mine. "You just have to come find me."
I really enjoyed this unconventional love story, it's very different with a touch of fantasy. Every four years, Evie wakes up with a new life, in a house with people she doesn't remember. She meets Ben when she is 4 years old.
"When I go, Ben, I don't remember anything. I don't remember my previous life or any of the things about it. I wake up the next day, knowing something is different, that this isn't the life I had the day before, but I don't remember how or why."
Evie and Ben become best friends, but when her 8th birthday comes, once again she wakes up with a new life. But, somehow through it all, Evie always manages to find her way back to Ben.
"I have been in love with you since I was six years old, Evie. You are my best friend, the love of my life, and the greatest thing that's ever happened to me."
Their love story is unique and incredibly sweet, I adored Evie and Ben. Although there are many unanswered questions, I really enjoyed this emotional journey.
"I'd wait forever for you, you know."

Please head over to Jessica's blog for some great info.
Campaign for Liberty also has interesting articles on this topic.
Or, go get another beer and watch TV while our country goes to hell and we all finance it.
My husband has been out since 10 pm last night working not just to provide for our family, but to also finance every lazy whore who lives on welfare and expects my husband to pay for her bastard children she has with all different exes. Or abort them. Or put them through the brainwashing government school system. Or pay for the doctor that they need all the time because they live a horrible and sick lifestyle that takes its toll on their body.
No wonder I am feeling extra sick today.
Edited to add:
I think I should clarify that my problem is not so much with how other people chose to live their lives, but that our government forces us to finance such lifestyles, which in turn only promotes them more.
I also realize that there are honest people who find themselves forced to accept such government assistance, after they have been bled and forced into that position by the same government in the first place. For those in honest need, I do not think it is wrong to accept such programs, as they will have paid for whatever they receive tenfold through taxes, indirect taxes, fees, and employers that pay lower wages because of all the costs associated with having employees. But I do not consider it an honest need if someone willfully put themselves in a bad position through their sinful choices.
It is wicked and wrong of the government to steal money from one family with certain values and morals and give it to someone else who lives a sinful, lascivious life financed by those same moral people they want to be nothing like.
As far as roads, schools, water, etc. - those are all covered in local taxes such as sales tax, property tax, tax on gas, etc. which everyone has to pay, poor people included, because they are added to everyday items we all consume.
Federal income tax pays for welfare and warfare, both of which I am entirely opposed to. In fact, it really only pays for the trillions of dollars in interest that we rack up each year as we finance these programs through loans which can and will never be paid back. The only ones getting rich are the global bankers who have been setting this up pretty much since the founding of our country, which is why the founding fathers were opposed to a central bank.
The Federal Reserve Bank is not federal, as it is a private institution, and it is not a reserve, because they do not back any of their bank notes (i.e. paper money) with real stored assets such as gold. They print money for cents per bill, regardless of whether it is a $1 or a $100 bill. They then "loan" this money to the government at face value. Since the Federal Reserve was started in 1913, the dollar has been devalued by more than 90%. Inflation would not exist if they did not keep printing money and adding it into circulation.
Inflation is, in a sense, another indirect taxation, in that we have to work more and longer because the government keeps adding play money to the economy to finance their programs and devaluing the already existing bills even further. Our federal income tax goes to pay the interest on this loaned, fictitious play money. Ron Paul was the only candidate who wanted to end the Fed. JFK wanted to do it before him, which is why he was assassinated.
As for "render unto Caesar" - we do not have a Caesar. Rome was an occupying force of the nation of Israel in Jesus' day, and they taxed the Israelites because they were under tribute, just as the Israelites in the past, for example under King David, had taxed foreign nations that they occupied. Jesus said:
And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Notice, also, that in both passages the annual tax was one coin. That's a lot different than what we are faced with today. In the Bible time's economy, this equated to less than 0.5% of their annual income, and there were no other taxes involved.
We supposedly are living in a "free" country and pay HALF of our money to the government by the time we have paid all the hidden taxes and fees.
I am not at all "pro-Republican". I am for small, limited government that lines up with the Constitution. I think both President Bush Sr. and Jr. were horrible, horrible people. The Democrats and Republicans are puppets controlled by the same global elitists. They may say different things, but they act the same. Bush gave us 9/11, which led to the Department of Homeland Security and The Patriot Act. He gave us the Iraq "war" (No war has ever been declared by Congress since WWII, they only vote to approve spending on these conflicts. This in spite of the fact that the Constitution makes it clear that only Congress can declare war. The President (Commander in Chief) has no right to just send our troops wherever he wants to, but that has never stopped them yet).
Obama, Mr. Nobel Peace Prize, is continuing the warfare and unwarranted murder of people in the Middle East, in spite of promising otherwise on the campaign trail. He has not only not pulled out of Iraq, but is now also occupying Afghanistan and poised to start attacking Iran. Why? Because he thinks that they might be in a position to build a nuclear missile. Never mind that WE already have thousands of them, and no doubt many of those are pointed at Iran right now. Never mind that WE are occupying other countries and forcing them adopt our values, they don't. I guess being Muslim inherently makes them psychopaths who cannot be trusted to have a nuke, while we are the moral compass of the world and would never abuse this power. Why then are there stories of abuse by our troops in the news daily, such as this, this, or this? Mr. Obama is a mass-murderer who likes to kill babies, and people overseas, and wants to do so with our hard-earned money. He is no different from Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and countless other wicked men before him.
The only reason why America was once a great nation is because while the rest of the world has been down this road of self-destruction for longer, or was never free to begin with, we were one of the very few truly free nations that have ever existed in history. As all the others before us, we will be destroyed from the inside, from having eroded all morals and thus bringing upon ourselves a monstrous government that has to rule our every step and eventually become tyrannical. It's sad to watch this progression.

|Summary, etc.:
What does "working class" mean in today's America? Today's workers don't just man the assembly lines. They watch our children and aging parents, park our cars, screen our luggage, clean our offices and hotel rooms, cook our take-out meals and stock our store shelves. And they are blacker, browner, and more female than the old working class. They are not as organized, in terms of their unions and political clout, but they are demographically powerful and are awakening to that power. The new working class is indeed a "sleeping giant," and Tamara Draut will blend up-close-and-personal individual narratives with historical background and sophisticated analysis to explain how they are about to change America for the better.

Two Details Individuals Do Certainly Not Know When It Comes To LASIK Eye Medical ProceduresThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional evaluation consists of the capability to relocate the orbit and the response of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be tested in numerous ways. The patient may be asked to identify illuminated letter or objects of varying sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in several ways. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, particularly in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
Nevertheless, it should be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue might have other issues too. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can inform the client and the doctor to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs present themselves.
One's reliance on sight is stressed when one deals with a temporary or possible irreversible loss of this crucial sense. When corrective procedures are sought, particular types of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were established to encourage reduced utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the short term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgical treatment, Read Full Article one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgery is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals should understand. Most likely, the main factor why this kind of eye surgical treatment has actually ended up being well accepted is due to the fact that most of its cases had been successful.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgical treatment includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be very dangerous.
In other words, a simple error could nearly cause an individual's lifetime loss of sight. It is essential to consider many factors before choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the right restorative measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a perfect treatment
LASIK eye surgery might remedy your vision but it does click this site not always imply that it can give you a twenty-twenty. home Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always imply they have perfect vision as well.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgery the way the majority of people see it
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. It needs to be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem might have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can notify the doctor and the client to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.

Train Driver is a first person 3D train simulator for Android phones and tablets. We aim to provide realistic driving experience, while still being fun to play. Want to learn how to drive a train? Give our train simulator a go!Our apologies that we've not updated the game in so long. We have been busy with other projects to earn our bread. But we're back and we're bringing you a new update to Train Driver that we hope you guys like!
Issues with sounds stopping on some 4.3 systems are caused by a bug in the Android system:http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/08/14/bug-watch-android-4-3-automatic-looping-of-sounds-with-soundpool-is-broken-may-cause-some-games-and-apps-to-be-eerily-quiet/It will be fixed in next system update.For now, here are things you can do if you are affected:Use Android version 4.2.2 for now.Upgrade to latest custom 4.3 (quite complicated).Wait for google to release official update (should be soon, you can check for it in Settings->About device->System update menu)
Think driving a train is too easy and boring? We dare you to try it with Train Driver simulator!
Wait for the departure signal, close the doors and off you go. Just pay attention to the signs. And don't worry, if you know nothing about driving a train, our tutorial will guide you via an introductory ride. After this ride, the tracks are randomly generated, so you get a different ride every time you play.
In the future, we aim to improve and optimize graphics, and also introduce localized routes with country-specific signals, tracks and trains (with strong emphasis on realism), including High Speed Rail. For now, we have the Polish signals and default train is based on clunky old Polish EN57 EMU.
Train Driver is still a work in progress, but we figured it's already fun to play, so we might as well release it now and get some feedback from you. Feel free to visit us at http://mobiletraindriver.blogspot.co.nz and leave comments or suggestions, how we can improve it.
If you would like early access to new versions and become a beta tester, just join us here:https://plus.google.com/communities/118303589166171366782and follow the instructions. Warning! Beta versions may contain bugs!
Simulator was tested on Asus Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy S2 (works nice and smooth) and HTC Wildfire (a bit choppy, but still perfectly playable). If you encounter any problems on your device, please let us know via our webpage, or email us, so we can resolve it as fast as possible.
If Train Driver crashes, please send a crash report, stating what it does, along with what actual device you are using. Often, we need to know what the device is, so we can fix it. Google is supposed to tell us this information, but they don't... It's always useful to hear what's going on at your end, and along with the info they do give us we can fix the problem in the next update.

Dallas 95-90 Detroit
Ok, Detroit lost for the first time after the three games. But let's just look at the positive side of thhings: The Pistons played the West's third best team without Rip and Tay AND Ben Gordon having an off off night. I mean, he couldn't buy a single bucket. He was 1-16 from the field. Have you ever tried to be one of 1-16 from the field??? It's almost impossible to do! I think the coaching staff was discussing if Ben should stay on the bench to keep the drinks cool! Still, I like that Coach Kuester stayed with Ben and wants him to keep taking last second Shots. But honestly, it can't get any worse than that for the Pistons so if this was an off night, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season! Great work so far Coach K!
Will Bynum and Rodney Stuckey combined for 55 points on 23-36 shooting, Bynum led the the in +/- with +7! You know, Bynum should be in serious conversation for the Sixth Man and Most Improved Player Award. And just for fun the NBA should have an award called "The Most Improbable Way to Become an NBA Player Award". Look at this kid, undrafted and listed at a charming 5-11! Who would've thought he'd turn out to be Bynumite???

Here are seven proven techniques.
Millennials may say they don't want credit or that they have no worries about credit, but in reality – because of how the world works, everyone needs to be actively concerned with their credit and credit scores.
However, millennials simply use credit differently than previous generations. The problem is that they just can't get credit because they have some of the worst credit scores, according to some of the major credit reporting agencies. This means that, when a millennial does need credit, there is a need to figure out how to improve credit scores.
A generation of subprime candidates
For example, TransUnion found that 43 percent of borrowers ages 18-36 have a credit score of 600 or below, making them subprime candidates. When someone falls into the category of subprime, companies will most likely turn them down. That low credit score is often a signal that they will not adhere to the loan terms and make the payments.
The result is more credit card or loan rejections, fewer choices, and much higher interest rates. A low credit score can also stand in the way of leasing an apartment or even getting a job. Plus, insurance rates will be more than if the millennial's credit score is good or excellent. As many millennials are becoming entrepreneurs who want to start their own businesses, they may find that their personal credit score is stopping them from getting business lines of credit.
The invisible debtor
A major part of the problem is that millennials just don't use credit as often as other generations. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 26 million Americans are considered "credit invisible" with no credit history with a major credit reporting agency. This invisibility is becoming such a major problem among this generation that credit reporting companies are now considering developing a new set of measurements to determine the credit scores of millennials.
Experian found that this age group is accumulating less credit and taking longer to establish any credit lines — except for auto loans — which other generations have established at an earlier age. "Having no credit history can be as detrimental, or worse, than having a bad credit history," says Howard Dvorkin, Chairman of Debt.com.
Action plan for improving your credit score
There are some pretty simple ways to improve your credit score that millennials can do:
- Make payments on time. You are telling companies you understand that you must meet a deadline and are capable of doing so.
- Establish a longer credit history. The length of time will be able to uncover patterns in spending, payments, and overall financial maturity.
- Put some normal purchases like gas or groceries on a credit card and then pay it off rather than leave a credit card unused. You are merely putting these purchases on a credit card to show companies that you have the potential to use credit – and do so responsibly.
- Keep credit card balances low – between 10 percent and 30 percdent of your available credit. You will then reassure companies that you will not overspend and not be able to meet your obligations.
- Tap into revolving and installment credit accounts. These types of accounts indicate how you can handle different types of debt.
- Get rent payments reported to credit bureaus. This can provide an additional source that illustrates your credit responsibility.
- Take a course in money management to learn how to handle cash flow and financial decisions. While your credit reporting agencies won't consider this, it's a good tactic for meeting all the other criteria on this list.
Lastly, recognize that it will most likely take time to establish a good credit score — something that a millennial is not accustomed to dealing with — so patience is a must. It's important to understand that a responsible use of credit is critical when it comes to home buying and other big life decisions, so there needs to be a shift in thinking about credit. Knowing that credit is not all bad is beneficial, but understanding that your credit may in fact hold your future hostage is even more important.

Semifinal Recap: Notre Dame vs. Green Bay
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Top-ranked Notre Dame faced down a sturdy challenge by Green Bay in the Preseason WNIT semifinals Thursday, backed by a typically swarming defense and the offensive punch of Arike Ogunbowale.
The Fighting Irish (3-0) will play for the Preseason WNIT crown at home on Sunday, Nov. 20; tipoff is 3 p.m. ET, and game will be televised on CBS Sports Network. They will take on 17th-ranked Washington.
Ogunbowale, a 5-8 sophomore guard from Milwaukee, scored 18 points and added three steals as Notre Dame built an 11-point lead at halftime but had to work through the final seconds to secure the win. The Phoenix (2-1), which beat Elon and Little Rock to reach the semifinals, were hampered by turnovers (15 in the first half, 22 overall) but made 12 3-pointers.
Green Bay was within five points, 63-58 with 3:41 left in the fourth quarter after a jumper from junior Jessica Lindstrom. Lindsay Allen hit a free throw and then found Brianna Turner with a nice pass for a layup to make it 64-58 with 2:32 remaining. Mehryn Kraker drained a 3-pointer to make it 66-61 with 2:03 left, but the Phoenix were unable to finish off the rally.
Turner added 14 points for Notre Dame, which won the Preseason WNIT in 2004 and beat Central Michigan and Fordham to reach the semifinals this year. Marina Mabrey added 13 points and three assists, and Allen had eight assists.
Green Bay got 20 points and 16 rebounds from Lindstrom, with Kraker chipping in 14 points and four assists.

The LIVE portion of this chat will begin on
Tuesday, January 23, 2007 at 7:00 PM EST.
Welcome everyone to our Legends of the Game chat with former Marshall University Head Coach and US Naval Academy Athletic Director and current Vice President of Business Development for XOS Technologies, Jack Lengyel.
What do you think about Matthew McConaughey playing you in the movie? If you could have had any actor play you, who would it be? (skonley - Hall of Famer - 7:50 PM)
I think that Matthew McConaughey did a fantastic job. I met with him as a consultant on the movie and he did not try to be like me - which I think was good. He took the script and all of the materials that he could find about me and then tried to create a character based on how he would have reacted had he been in the same situation. His character was much more animated than I am, so that was better for the movie. If I had to choose an actor to play me in a movie, I would probably choose Matthew. I obviously had not input into the selection, but I was well aware of who he was beforehand.
Dear Coach, First, as an alum of Marshall University (M.S in 1992) and a life long resident of West Virginia, I want to thank you for what you and your staff did after the tragedy that struck our school. Your inspiration and drive to overcome were heart felt throughout our great State. How difficult was it for you to reflect and provide information to the directors and actors while they were producing "We Are Marshall"? Thank you and God Bless!! John Lantz Moundsville, WV (bulantz - Hall of Famer - 7:52 PM)
It was not difficult to help with the movie, but it was definitely difficult times portrayed by the movie. I tend to reflect upon all of the good things that city of Huntington, the fans, other coaches, the administration and everyone involved did for us as they showed support. Ultimately, I am proud to be a part of the process of building the program, but I was just a small part. The University's success had so many fathers and we were just a small part of the beginning of the rebuilding of the foundation of the school's football program. Along the lines of your comments. I want to thank all of the members of the entire state of West Virginia for their commitment to rebuilding the program and to support the Young Thundering Herd and our coaching staff. That time was an unprecedented time in the annals of college football and we needed their help.
Do you feel that the movie accurately portrays the story? (danmam - Hall of Famer - 7:54 PM)
I think you have to understand that Warner Brothers was taking a full year of experiences and compressing it into two hours while still trying make an accurate account of the story. In some cases, they had to use composite characters because they could not find all of the right people to sign off on the characters. In whole, I would say that they did a very admirable job with the storyline and in capturing the spirit of the town of Huntington and Marshall University as well as respecting the 75 members of the program who perished in the crash; which was our main objective from the start.
How can I throw a football farther and/or faster? (rcktchamp - Hall of Famer - 7:57 PM)
Well, first of all, you have to have a strong arm. In other words, you must be in top physical condition. Throwing the football requires strength in the whole body including strength in the legs and upper body. Athletic ability has a lot to do with it. You will not be able to reach your peak without being in peak physical condition. Then, with the grip, grasp the ball lightly with your index finger toward the top of the ball off the laces. As your throw, rotate the thumb inward and come over the top with your arm. Keep your elbow pointed down and find your target. Put your target on the tip of your left (if you are right-handed) foot's big toe so you can open your hips and hit the target.
What is your fondest memory of coaching at Marshall? (KSBeachBums - Hall of Famer - 7:58 PM)
Bringing together the young student athletes and coaches with the support of the community and university while putting together a team that was competitive and a true team. We may not have been fully competitive, but we represented the University and helped in the transition to the success that the school would have in the years to follow.
Hey coach. For me, a truly inspirational moment in the film was when you went to West Virginia and asked for help with the veer - they opened all their resources to you and then you noticed that they memorialized marshall on their helmets. In real life, what was that moment like for you? (fd343ny - Hall of Famer - 8:03 PM)
When I first called Bobby and asked for permission to come up to spring practice, he welcomed us with open arms and he showed his graciousness by allowing our entire staff (contrary to the movie) take part in spring ball at West Virginia. We watched practice every minute of practice for three days. After practice, the offensive staff would meet with us every night to discuss implementing the veer offense. On the squad, we only had four wide receivers and two quarterbacks, so we decided we needed to learn the Houston veer so we could split two wide and play 9-on-9 as opposed to 11-on-11 - which we could not do and to succeed. We were able to option the ends out and it gave us a chance to throw the football a little more. While in Morgantown, we spent every night until 2:00 am watching film. After that, we simplified the offense, wrote up a playbook and brought it back to Marshall for our spring practice. By the time we played the Alumni game that spring we had it and were able to win that game 26-0 with a very limited team. Bobby Bowden was most gracious. Our families have remained friends for years. Some say that that would never have happened today and I say that it would because that is who Bobby Bowden is. He told me a few weeks ago that the role in the movie has made him an icon and that he has had more interview questions about that scene than the (Sun) bowl victory. I told him that he deserved it.
Coach, did you really run your kids into trees to toughen them up? If so, would you recommend that practice to others? (mudbone1969 - Hall of Famer - 8:05 PM)
Hardly (laughing), in fact the interview never took place at my home. I drove to Marshall to meet with the Athletic Director and President. My kids never ran into trees. The Athletic Director at Marshall played a normal role, but with the movie, Warner Brothers tried hard to keep the story and message a little more in line by lessening the number of characters.
what's the number 1 thing to do to get things rolling with a bad football team? (foreman32 - Rookie - 8:07 PM)
The number one thing is to develop a strategic plan for success. You must come up with a mission and core values. Sportsmanship, integrity, leadership, academics, community service - all play a role in those core values. Then you take that plan to the administration, the alumni and the team. When everyone is on the same page there and the entire program is striving to meet those goals, the team can achieve its football goals. Throughout the season, periodically review these goals, adjust as needed and move forward. Over time, quality goals and the desire to accomplish them will help you achieve success. That's what is great about this movie. It is about hope and perseverance and those are encompassed by those core values. The ultimate thing about college athletics is how to do that, how to get back up after being knocked down and find a way to succeed.
What do you think about pay for play? (skonley - Hall of Famer - 8:09 PM)
I am not one for pay for play. I think that the student athlete that receives a full scholarship for tuition, books and fees as well as help and support with all academics and a network for job placement and life after school as well as the ability to play the game itself are rewards unto themselves. However, I am very concerned with salaries of coaches today which seem to warp the educational goals of the institution. I recognize the marketplace and the desire to stay competitive, but it seems as though salaries are out of whack and some better balance should be met. When a school starts paying a coach $4 million a year, you must take a good hard look as to where those revenues are going to come from.
Recently, Marshall has been a fairly succesful program, especialy in producing many pro players. What would you attribute this to? (blackmink18 - Hall of Famer - 8:11 PM)
The fathers of Marshall football throughout the years have made it what is today. Stan Parrish having the first winning season in 1986. George Chaump being successful and playing for national championships. Jim Donnan played for national championships on the DI-AA level. And then Bobby Pruett, who went 15-0 in his very first season, coached the team to be the most successful DI program in the 1990s. Pruett fulfilled all of the dreams that we had by achieving the goal that we told our players when I started. We needed to play then, so we could share in the victories and the successes that would be had later. We laid the groundwork to share in those victories and coaches like Bobby Pruett got us there.
Have you been able to remain in contact with any of the players or coaches from that 1971 team? (schmoldty - Newbie - 8:11 PM)
Absolutely. I have stayed in contact with many of them. The opportunity to have a reunion dinner in Huntington at the movie premiere was wonderful. Many of the players had not seen each other in more than 30 years and it was just a wonderful, wonderful time.
What accomplishment are you proudest of from your years as an athletic director? (buzzardbill - Prospect - 8:14 PM)
As an AD, I think having the opportunity to, upon my retirement (from the position at the Naval Academy in 2001), help schools that were having trouble like Temple, Eastern Kentucky and Colorado as an interim Athletic Director meant that I could give back to my profession and use everything that I had learned previously to improve situation. I went in there and helped them with strategic planning and those were very rewarding opportunities where I had a chance to help alleviate some serious problems. I have also always had a close relationship with Marshall University and tend to think of my accomplishments there first, so anyway in which I have been able to help them has been very gratifying.
Well, someone beat me to the Bobby Bowden question. Was wondering if you still keep in contact with Red Dawson and the other members of your staff from that time period? (bulantz - Hall of Famer - 8:14 PM)
Red and I see each other from time to time. I see him every time I visit Marshall University. He still has a small construction company in Huntington.
What were you doing when you heard about the plane crash? (mudbone1969 - Hall of Famer - 8:18 PM)
I was returning home from our last football game at Wooster and was watching television when I saw the crawl come across the screen. My heart sunk just like everyone else and every football coach thought the same thing, "By the grace of God there go I and there go my football team." I ultimately thought it was a great opportunity to give the game something that it had given me by becoming head coach. I was a walk-on at Akron and then went on to be a Freshman football coach and a high school coach before making my way through as an assistant and landing the job at Heidelberg. I was able to foster so many young men and help them through college. Education was important to me growing up. My parents were both from the "Old Country" (Hungary) and came over here when they were 7 or 8 to go to work. They did not have much more than a Third Grade education so I made it my goal to get the best education. Then, I was able to do the same and have the greatest influence on that by becoming a head coach. I was blessed to be in that position, so it was important to me to give something back as I could. There is an old Chinese proverb that says that if someone gives you something of value that you have an obligation to pass it on to others. No one needed what I could provide more than Marshall University; and I wanted to provide it.
What is XOS technologies and how did you become affiliated with the company? (tinmanpb - Hall of Famer - 8:19 PM)
XOS Technology is the premier athletic technology company for coaches and administrators. We do editing systems for 98% of college coaches and much of the NFL. We do instant replay for the PAC 10 as well as some other conferences. We do internet broadcasting for FOX and ESPN and host/create sites for several collegiate programs. It is an all-inclusive program that helps take coaches into the 21st century. It allows many programs to find new ways to generate revenue and stay in the race.
Did President Dedmon actually go to Kansas City to get the NCAA waiver for freshman at MU? (bulantz - Hall of Famer - 8:23 PM)
No. He did not. My understanding was, and I don't know this for a fact, but the process was that Dedmon and the AD sent a letter to the NCAA to petition for the use of freshmen players. The only way we could field a football team was to play freshmen because we only had 21 players on the team (freshmen becoming sophomores who did not travel in 1970). Approval was given by Walter Byars of the NCAA after the first letter. We recruited about 48 players to play as freshmen. We had three players from the previous season who had been injured and were not on the plane; three players from Buffalo who transferred after the school dropped football, three basketball players, a basketball player from Puerto Rico who had just played in the Pan-Am games, a soccer player who had never played football before and a few other servicemen and walk-ons who joined the team. Because of all that I changed the mascot to the Young Thundering Herd.
What is your feeling about a possible playoff in college football? (swolek20 - Newbie - 8:25 PM)
I think the playoff is an eventuality. It is just a matter of time before the presidents and the television networks and the Rose Bowl come to terms with all of the conferences. As the cost of fielding athletic programs rises, colleges will continue to find ways to raise funds and I believe that the National Playoff will be one of these. It will all come down to how the money will be split, but it will have to become a reality. That won't be for (at least) another five years yet.
Thank you very much for participating in our Legends of the Game chat with Jack Lengyel. It's been great being able to hear the insight and stories from one of the more notable college coaches and administrators of all time. For more information regarding upcoming chats, please click here.

The first two have been on a little journey of their own and have been travelling for over a month and they only had to come from Victoria (Australia) and the other one is from the US.
I still have four to come--one I know for sure will arrive as the lady contacted me personally this week but I think that I will be lucky to get the last three which is very dissappointing seeing as these ladies had their birthdays earlier in the year and they have received all their cards.
I find it hard to understand why people enter into these swaps knowing fullwell that it is a year long committment and then don't follow through.
The problem is we haven't heard from several of these ladies for quite sometime now and it is not hard to figure out what they are up to.
Oh well I suppose it takes all types to make a world but at least I can look at myself in the mirror knowing I have played my part.

Ritual Howls
Ritual Howls are a local trio putting a groove to cacophony. Samples of every day city noise are stretched and sequenced to slamming beats from a whole table's worth of drum machines. The reverb-drenched kick-drums slam hard enough to break your doors down. There's some danceability dribbled in and the gut-punching doom-marches are sweetened by fuzzy cymbals, sweeps of wavy bass licks and tinny roars from the pedal-mutated lead guitars. Some songs on their new album may invite reminiscences of Joy Division's entrancingly gloomy brand of post-punk. But there's something much more ferocious here. It's not punk, it's not a hardcore slamming mosh thing and it's not exactly ear-splitting, droning-dirge noise experimentation. It's electronic but primal and it's hyper-aggressive but cerebral.
It's fitting for them to open for Ed Schrader's Music Beat, similarly neither here-nor-there when it comes to techno-elements crushed under the boots of noise-loving punk murkiness.
Ritual Howls, Ed Schrader's Music Beat, Lord Scrummage, Reverend – 9:00 p.m. – Friday April 5th- The Loving Touch (22634 Woodward Ave.) Ferndale

MEAD — Michael Ward had been eagerly awaiting his senior season with the Mead boys basketball team for years, and for good reason.
The Mavericks program had been building steadily over the past several seasons and with players like Michael Ward coming up, the Mavericks felt the 2016-17 season had the potential to be a special one.
As it has turned out the Mavericks were right to bet on themselves, and on Ward.
With Ward leading the way as a senior this past season, one in which he took the mantle as the program's all-time leading scorer, the Mavericks reached the Class 4A Great 8 for the second consecutive year and also won a program-best 21 games. For being the driving force that made all that happen, Ward is the 2016-17 BoCoPreps.com boys basketball player of the year.
"At the beginning of every season, we sit down with coach (Darin Reese) and we discuss our goals and what we want to accomplish," Ward said. "Every year, we have good senior leaders and it was our turn to do that this year. It helps to have a coach and a lot of guys who have your back. We wanted to have more wins than last year and we did. We got a home playoff game and it was just a great season."
Averaging 21.4 points per game as a senior, Ward ended his prep basketball career with 1,364 points. He also averaged 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.6 steals throughout his senior campaign. He scored 19.7 points per game in the playoffs, including a 23-point outburst against top-ranked Valor Christian in the Great 8 that nearly pushed the Mavericks through to their first Final Four.
Not only does Ward lead Mead as the program's all-time scoring leader, he is also the program's all-time leader in steals and 3-pointers made. The 35 points he put up against Berthoud on Jan. 24 is the highest single-game scoring output of any Mavericks player and the 556 points he scored as a senior is the single-season scoring mark.
"With him, he came into a situation where when he was a freshman, our program was still relatively new," Mavericks head coach Darin Reese said. "He was able to step into like our sixth game and give us a spark with his unique skill set and all the different ways he can impact the game. He's started basically every single game since then and he's been a great example for the younger guys of what it means to compete both in practice and in games."
Ward, who plays club basketball for the Colorado Titans, has not yet made a decision about where he might play college basketball but that he is beginning to narrow it down. The headliner for possibly the best senior class his school has had, wherever Ward ends up he said he will to look back fondly on the career he had with his teammates at Mead.
"Every year, our program has just gotten better and better," Ward said. "We've really worked hard on the little things and it's been a great time at Mead. Even the last game we played was one of the most fun basketball games I've ever been a part."

Liberals don't understand conservative values. And they can't recognize this failing, because they're so convinced of their rationality, open-mindedness and enlightenment.
From Willian Saletan's review of a new book by psychologist Jonathan Haidt.
Haidt's previous book, The Happiness Hypothesis, was a fantastic introduction to the psychology of behavior and morality. And I think the basic message of the new book rings true. So I am inclined to recommend it.
My impression from the last book: Haidt has a very slight tendency to hyperbole, and it's a shame he doesn't distinguish between the weak and strong evidence. He's a skilful writer and his own research looks clever, and so I think he could fix this without making his books boring.
I'm curious, though. Readers who actually know something about cognitive psychology: what's Haidt's street cred?

About New & Gauley River Adventures
Since 1977, the staff at New & Gauley River Adventures has helped visitors create year-round excitement across two rivers and more than 60,000 acres of terrain. The experts customize adventures, dispensing guides and gear for exhibitions, such as kayaking and high-speed whitewater rafting.

Meanwhile, the Gauley River emerges at the base of the Summersville Dam to form Class V+ rapids and enough churning whitewater to wash all of a giant's laundry. Back on dry land, horseback-riding groups meander through pre–Civil War roads. Ziplines soar across treetop canopies, and rocky peaks beckon climbers to scale their surface.

The company's lodging options—which include campsites and cabins— let visitors rest up between their adventures. Nestled amid lush trees, the onsite Undercut Pub & Grill readies growling stomachs for hibernation with home-cooked breakfast and pub fare.
