Overnight rate was inexpensive so I didn't expect too much but I would have liked to have been able to take a hot shower. Took quite a while for the water to heat up and then it stayed hot for about 10 secons. There was a jacuzzi in the room but there would have been no way to fill it up with anything but cold water. Told the girl at the front desk and she was very friendly but indicated that it is an ongoing problem with the wing that we stayed in. Wallpaper was also torn. The bed was very comfortable though and I got a good night's sleep.

The rooms were not flattering. I did not expect the best, but the toilet was leaking and needed lots of time to refill between flushes. The pool was closed and had to go to the hotel next door to swim, slight inconvenience. Not a horrible place to stay, but I would have liked to have wifi in the room and a few more channels on the television.

I have stayed at the Best Budget Inn at least the past four years and three out of the four times something has happened. This year tops all other stays. This year, I brought my best friend and her husband both first time visitors to the area. I called the hotel several times to check my reservations because I didn't want anything to go wrong but the past history told me to keep constant checking. The lady on the other end of the phone told me that my room number would be 111 and since she was telling me my room number everything was squared away on their end. Since I had this room number confirmation, I stopped calling. Much to my demise at check-in, I was given room 215. I inquired about room 111 and said that I was given that room number, but the lady behind the counter told me that the guests in that room were now staying an extra night. Now not only did I not get the room promised but my best friend who was recovering from major surgery had to climb stairs for the duration of our stay. The whole reason I requested a suite downstairs! This was definitely the breaking point of my stays here. I can handle the small aggravations that had happened every year prior but this is unacceptable! It seems that the hotel is being run as a first come first serve and reservations doesn't matters. I referred my parents and their four friends to the Best Budget Inn, at check-in; my parents two sets of friends didn’t even stay in the room type that they reserved because their rooms were booked with more than one separate reservation. The room that my parents were to stay in was booked with five sets of reservations! Luckily, they were the first to arrive.Last year the room that I had reserved was still occupied by the renters that were too be checked out the day of my arrival. I was put into another room. After entering that room, the air conditioning didn’t work. The front desk moved us to another room down the hall for the night. The next day the staff promised to help us move our belonging to the room we originally reserved because the renters were checking out. The staff never showed up to help. The two of us, made four trips down the stairs, across the court yard, and back up the stair to move our belongings. Once again the first come, first serve mentality. I understand that vacationers change their plans and decide to stay another night, but if the room is booked then they should have to move to another open room. The room didn’t have a microwave that was standard for every room and we never receive one. We had to take our food downstairs to use the microwave in the common area.The year before, we stayed in a king jacuzzi suite and everything was as promised.The first year we stayed at Best Budget Inn, we brought two of our friends; we got the rooms we reserved. Our friends were on the first floor and we were right above them. Every time we took a shower, the water ran down the wall of our friend’s room below. When making the reservations we were promised a mini fridge. Our room didn’t have one. When calling the front desk to inquire about it, the lady on the phone was rude and said she would see what she could do. She brought up a fridge at midnight because she had to wait to get help carrying it up the stairs. I truly believe that with better management, better maintenance, and upgrading the air conditioners to central air Best Budget could be a great hotel. Best Budget Inn has a great view, a good pool, and a wonderful patio area. With a few simple upgrades you could have the best hotel in town. Until some changes are made, my family, friends and I will be staying at another hotel in town.
Room Tip: Call and confirming doesnt mean you receive the room you request.

1 review “Yuck... I will NOT return”
The carpet was stained all thoughout the room. It went well with the matching stained chair. I wouldn't walk on the carpet without having shoes on my feet. It looked and smelled dirty. However, we were desperate for a room on a weekend where all of the hotels had been booked months ago due to the MS Bike to the Bay event. I was shocked to see that the person who serviced the room actually wrote their name on the card. I can see why there wasn't a pen or pencil in the room to write comments. The view of the lake was delightful. However, the chairs were limited and taken. The picnic table could not be used because it was dirty as well. Next year, I will ensure that I will have a room booked in another hotel.

For Love of a Motorbike: Four's a Herd
If two is company. And three is a crowd. What is four? Apparently, a nice start to a herd...
We knew we would end up getting something that would allow us both to get out and dirty. We've always just wondering what it might be. I figured it would be some old, beat up thing that would allow me to learn to ride the dirt. And so it is. I still think that 600cc is large for off-roading. At least to learn on. But the important thing is that the cc's will allow us to ride the bike to the trail instead of trailering it there. So what I think is going to happen will be Oilburner riding this on the highways and byways to reach the dirt...and then we can switch bikes. I'll ride on the comfort of the GS saddled, cushy shocked shiny luxury liner. :)
Some of you have been posting some of your pictures of the "basket case" bikes. And we are wondering if this will be one of them. Luckily the thing runs great. Oilburner is torn between just getting it out and riding or taking it apart and cleaning all the little pieces and prettying her up again. I'm more of the camp of just riding it right now and having some fun. Clean it up next winter. Maybe. Oh yeah. Oilburner wants to make sure that I point out that I got the brand new, pretty, shiny big GS and he gets stuck with this old, dirty, rusty bucket o' bolts. I told him that you all would only say "that is as it should be". :)
bobskootFeb 22, 2012, 12:02:00 AMSteel Cupcake:Let me think for a moment . . . you have a nearly new R1200R, but you use your new GS, Then Mr Oilburner has his new RT and a bucket of bolts.Your two nearly new, and his one new and one bucket . . . wonder who should be complaining ?A quick thought would be to keep that for a guest sparebob Riding the Wet CoastReplyDeleteTrobairitzFeb 22, 2012, 1:07:00 AMCool new purchase. I like the idea of the off road bike being big enough to ride to the boonies rather than trailering it.I am looking forward to seeing your 'in the dirt' pictures as we too have thought about doing the same thing. I am somewhat intrigued by dirt riding.Oh, and before I forget: "That is as it should be!"ReplyDeleteSonjaMFeb 22, 2012, 1:50:00 AM"That is as it should be!" pretty much sums it up. Safe trail riding!ReplyDeleteDavid T. MacknetFeb 22, 2012, 2:21:00 PM"THAT IS AS IT SHOULD BE."'Kay, now. You need enough engine to be able to move, so get used to the power - it's there to help. Or, so I've been told by motorcycle junkies, not having ever ridden except holding on and swearing a blue streak and praying to survive.Hope you're well. :)ReplyDeleteRaftnnFeb 22, 2012, 3:06:00 PMGreat stuff, you are gonna have so much fun. I see no issues with how the bikes are dispersed... doesn't oil burner remember he got a shiny new one not long ago!ReplyDeleteCircle BlueFeb 23, 2012, 7:29:00 PMYou all are developing quite a stable of steads there...and, that to me seems as it should be.~kReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

Recent Photography Trip to Mount Rainier National Park
Mount Rainier above Edith Creek before sunrise.
Many influences come into play when photographing outdoors. Many of them, such as choosing location, camera settings, lens and filter selection, and composition, we control. But there are natural elements that we do not. Oh, we plan ahead and do our research so as to put ourselves in the best possible position to be successful, but we don't control it. For me, this is one of the most exciting elements of photography
Recently I met up with my good friend Kevin Ebi at Mount Rainier National Park. I had spent the previous morning there and had scouted out the flowers around Edith Creek - our meeting point.
Arriving in time for sunrise requires a very early start and involves driving in the dark to your destination. You can't wake up to a bluebird sky and say to yourself, "Yes, I think it will be a good day to go photograph."
I knew the forecast called for a change in weather towards afternoon on this day, but noticed as I neared the Nisqually Entrance that the stars were blurred. This told me there was moisture in the air. I knew this could mean low elevation fog, which got me even more excited!
As I drove up the Paradise Road, I noticed a definite cloud bank to the west and no stars. As I neared the Paradise parking lot, it became clear that a system was moving in quicker than I had expected. Yet, to the east it remained mostly clear, but with some interesting whispy clouds. Of course, east is what is important for sunrise photography!
A lenticular cloud over Mount Rainier at sunrise.
Kevin informed me that the forecast had changed somewhat, and they were calling for completely cloudy skies by 7:00 am. All we could do was cross our fingers. This could still work.
We set our cameras up in the dark and aimed them at the mountain. We watched the sky in between shutter clicks (yes, we start taking pictures well before first light on the mountain). We watched the cloud bank to the west growing stronger and more clouds appearing to the east, though still generally scattered. This morning had the opportunity to prove dramatic and exciting, or it could skunk us all together. We remained optimistic.
Clouds began to form directly over the summit of Rainier and grew in size as they moved west to east. Soon they turned a brilliant pink and it was game on! As we watched the intensity grow above the mountain, we noticed signs of a lenticular cloud forming above the mountain. It grew to prominent status rather quickly, just in time for the first rays of the sun. We had found paradise! (pun intentional).
As climbers and many others know, lenticular clouds are strong indicators of a couple of things: They are a sign of heavy winds on the summit (often exceeding 100 mph), and a sign of a pending weather system arriving in the next 24 hours. This meant there were plenty of unknowns ahead of us as the mystery unfolded on this morning.
Lenticular cloud over Mount Rainier at sunrise.
The lenticular cloud became more and more defined, and the unique light seemed to last an exaggerated length of time - minutes, not seconds.
Alas, all good things must come to and end and this experience was no different. As the sun rose higher in the sky the light became much less dramatic, then disappeared entirely as clouds began to consume the skies above and the wind picked up.
As Kevin and I began packing our gear up, we could only smile, knowing we had been a part of something special. Neither one of us had actually photographed a lenticular over the mountain before, and neither one of us could have predicted it would happen on this morning. But we were ready for it and embraced it when it happened.
From Paradise, I drove around the mountain to the Chinook Pass area to hike the Naches Peak Loop. I had heard rave reports of the flower show and wanted to scout the area out for a possible return the following day. Despite not planning to do any photography, I carried my camera gear anyway. I was glad I did.
Flowers of lupine and assorted flower along the Naches Peak Loop.
The flower show was incredible from the moment I hit the trail and grew stronger the further I hiked. Upon crossing the shoulder of Naches Peak beyond the PCT and Dewey Lake junction, I was greeted by the spectacular meadows above the tarn and some interesting light on both the meadows and the mountain. I wouldn't ordinarily shoot so late in the day (10:00ish), but the diffused light struck me. The soft transition of Rainier into clouds also piqued my interest. It was a unique blend.
Shortly after working this composition, the sun became much stronger and subtleties of the setting that struck me were gone. But I was glad to not have left my camera behind in the name of a scouting trip!
These images and more can be seen in my Mount Rainier Gallery. As always, thanks for visiting!

...Yet Another Flower Update For MRNP!
Mount Rainier above lupine on Mazama Ridge.
A couple days ago I shot up to Mazama Ridge for sunrise. The flowers are okay, but not what they were a week ago. Venturing higher proved what I suspected - most flowers are now gone.
Pardise is supreme right now, especially around Edith Creek. Not much variety though. Expect to see mostly lupine.
Spray Park, Berkeley Park and Summerland are rocking right now. But the best flower display I have seen this year is actually partially outside the park along the Naches Loop Trail - wow! Such variety! A very intense showing all along the trail.
Did anybody else photograph the lenticular on Mount Rainier at sunrise Sunday morning? Awesome!

Rainier 2012 Flower Update
Mount Rainier above lupine in Spray Park.
I thought a quick update was in order for the flower conditions at Mount Rainier National Park, since a lot can change in a week or two!
Spray Park, Skyscraper Pass, Berkeley Park, Summerland and the Naches Loop Trail are getting rave reviews right now. Glacier Basin is also quite nice. Grand Park is well past prime, as is Sunrise.
I have not visited nor seen reports from the south side of the mountain in the last few days, but I would expect Paradise and Mazama Ridge to be coming into their own. I would also expect Van Trump Park and Indian Henry's Hunting Ground to be looking nice, as they typically coincide with Mazama Ridge for flower displays. I hope to learn more in the next few days.
Edit: I have heard from mutliple sources that Paradise is absolutely popping right now! Maybe the best show in the past 10 years. I'll be checking this out the next couple of days!

Flowers at Mount Rainier 2012!
Mount Rainer above flowers on Mazama Ridge before sunrise.
For the second year in a row we can throw all flower rules in relation to the calendar out the window! Here it is August 13th, the period that flowers would be at peak or even slightly winding down on a normal year, and they have only just begun.
I've spent the last week extensively traveling through the park and thought I would post my findings.
One of the earliest flower shows in the park takes place in Yakima Meadows at Sunrise. Still true to form this year, the flowers there have reached peak and are on their way out. However, hiking destinations from there still have a lot to offer. Summerland is a sure bet with flowers just below looking prime. They will surely be in their prime at the campground in the next week or two.
Mount Rainier above meadows on along The
Upper Berkeley Park is currently sporting a nice display of flowers, as is Grand Park. Skyscraper Pass will be a sure bet in the next week or so.
Spray Park is almost melted out and the incredible display of avalanche lilies it was showcasing are on their way out. This should pave the way for the lupine, paintbrush and asters in the coming week. Some can be seen now.
Indian Henry's was is still under patchy snow. Flowers here will be at least a couple of weeks away.
What does that leave for the wildflower officianados? Why, Paradise and Mazama Ridge of course! Lupine is in grand display right now near the Paradise parking lot, but not much higher. The short stroll to Edith Creek will leave you disapointed. Give this area at least another week or so.
Mazama Ridge is also well behind schedule. The Lakes Trail near the Skyline Trail junction is still 20-25% snow covered. Avalanche lilies are numerous, though they are on their way out. There are a few patches of meadow sporting lupine, lousewort, paintbrush, aster and more, but they are few. One would expect blankets of these flowers in a normal year. But this year "...is Abby somebody. Abby Normal I believe." (for you Mel Brooks fans out there).
Mount Rainire reflected in a melt pool on
Mazama Ridge.
Venturing higher up the Skyline Trail and on to the Paradise Glacier Trail, one runs into some supreme meadows. These flowers are at their prime right now and demand your attention. Wow!
Of course, there are other compositions you can take advantage of right now too as a photographer. Melt ponds are numerous and offer a unique chance to capture a reflection of the mountain that will be short-lived.
Mount Rainier always has something to offer visitors and photographers, and now is no exception. Go!
Interestingly, bugs have not been a problem during my visits to these many meadows (though they were ferocious in the forest along Frying Pan Creek). Spray Park would be the exception (shocking, huh?).
The last thing worth mentioning is the haze in the air from the Siberian fires. It was extensive last weekend on the Paradise side. I received reports of even worse conditions on the NW side; primarily Spray Park, where Rainier was hard to distinguish at times.
I hope the sharing of my observations, and the reports of friends and colleagues helps. As always, feel free to drop me a line with any questions you may have. I am always happy to respond.

The Observer, Sunday 3 February 2008 There are lots of reasons why making a film about Annie Leibovitz, our most famous living photographer, may be a bit intimidating. For one thing, photography is essentially static, so how to bring it to life on screen? For another, Leibovitz has something of a reputation.

- Conference Board: Data Debacles Hurting E-Commerce
A rash of recent consumer data thefts and disclosures at Fortune 500 companies may be starting to spook Web users away from shopping online, according to data released today by the Conference Board. The study, conducted with the help of market research group TNS, relied on responses from roughly 7,000 U.S. households, nearly half of whom said their level of concern over the security and privacy of their personal and financial data has grown over the past year, while 41 percent said they were purchasing less online as a result. Thirteen percent of those surveyed said they or a member of their household had fallen victim to identity fraud. A similar survey released today by online research group Gartner Inc. found that concerns about online attacks have soured more than 80 percent of consumers on e-mail they receive from companies or individuals they don't know personally. I'm not sure that's a bad thing, actually, since so many viruses and worms are spread this way through e-mail. Gartner estimates that U.S. commerce growth will be stunted by 1 percent to 3 percent over the next three years as a result of this mistrust. The survey also said around 85 percent of consumers delete suspicious e-mails without even opening them. That sounds like progress. Still, there's that pesky 15 percent who make it all worthwhile for the scammers, I suppose.
The Conference Board survey also found that the general level of anxiety about doing business on the Web differs markedly by age group, a finding that echoes other research. In a piece I wrote last year as part of a series online fraud, we mentioned data collected by the Ponemon Institute, which found that people in the 18-to-25 age bracket were nearly three times more likely to get hooked by an online scam than any other age group.
The Conference Board report surmises that younger people are less worried about their online privacy and security because they are more technologically adept, and perhaps because they have less to lose from a financial perspective than Internet users in older age groups. I don't doubt for a second that there plenty of people every day who are abandoning the Internet as a way to shop. In my reporting for that phishing series I mentioned earlier, about half of the victims I interviewed said the experience upset them so much that they were finished with e-commerce. All but one were in the 50-and-over age group, by the way. By Brian Krebs

Let me say this in ALL CAPS so even AOL-ers can read it:
THE TRUTH ONLY HURTS LIARS!!!
If the Truth hurts, if "e-commerce" can't tolerate the TRUTH, let them find their own medium!!
If you refuse to disclose how pathetically vulnerable you are to {whatever}, you have no business whining to the world when you find you have *NO BUSINESS*!!!
To put it another way, if you need privacy, stay off the Internet. Period. It's Just That Simple. If you want to conduct private business transactions, build your own "network of networks" with whatever security you want built in!!
Just to clue you in, the Internet you're clogging with your filthy lucre was invented to ENHANCE communication, not restrict it!! This place is not for you, if you can't stand the light of day.
"E-commerce"?? It's high time you were gone. Trust us, you won't like it here. Go buy Compuserve's assets!

FairyAna: Swatch: Essence TE Sun Club Bondi Beach nail polishes
Swatch: Essence TE Sun Club Bondi Beach nail polishes
There has been some time since I saw any (new) Trend Edition from Essence in my local drugstores, I don't know what is the reason for that but yesterday finally Bondi Beach came to town :) In this TE you can find eyeshadow palettes, gel eyeliners, gel eyeliner brush, bronzing powder, water prof mascara and nail polishes.I bought four nail polishes, I was hoping I will bought all five of them but in my local drugstore they were already out of Pink Heart. Maybe I will find it somewhere else.
In this collection you can find two beautiful eyeshadow palettes, but those two palettes were among the products that came out in March: South Beach and Long Beach .
Now let's have a better look at the polishes! All the colors are very pretty, my favorites are Chasing Waves and Splash Refresh. They looks so cute on my nails. I also like Golden sands, it has been soooo long since I bought some brown nail polish. I like this one because it is beautiful golden brown, it will be great for summer. Orange Sunset is warm orange color. I love it, but orange nail polish which came in Whoom! Boooom! collection is almost the same as this one...so I am not that excited about this one.
02 BBC Chasing waves and 03 Splash Refresh
04 BBC Orange Sunset and 05 Golden Sands
Here they are on my nails (2 coats) :

Wedding DIY: Veiled
Posted on February 8, 2014 by Aliza
A bride needs a veil. OK, not all brides choose to have a veil, but many don’t feel like a bride until they’re wearing one. A veil is one of the things that turns the pretty (and expensive!) white dress into a wedding gown. Of course, that veil could be 30 feet long– or 5 inches. But, a veil is a veil is a veil.
And, if it’s a Jewish wedding, the veil is actually part of the ceremony. It’s not optional, the bride must have her face covered. The blusher could be chin length, or it could be longer, it could be sheer or opaque, but there has to be something.
And so, once I had my dress, my thoughts turned to the need for a veil. Continue reading →

Selecting the Ketubah
Posted on January 29, 2014 by Aliza
The ketubah is a required element for a Jewish wedding. And the tradition is for the ketubah to be highly decorated and displayed in the marital home.
Well, I happen to like art. I believe that walls and floors aren’t meant to be naked, and that paint should be only a backdrop for displaying art. So having to buy art? Woo hoo!
I knew that my favourite little Judaica store, Concepts of Art in Lenox, MA, had nice ketovot. Rabbi Fine told me to go to ketubah.com (it’s Toronto based). Jeremy talked about Israel’s in Toronto. And Google found me Jessyjudaica.com (which, I just discovered, is Toronto based!). The websites were very helpful, with not only information about the specific ketuvot (descriptions of the artists point of view, listing of the text options), but also information about the different text, how to select a ketubah, and more.
I had fun identifying and collecting images of ketuvot, had pictures of dozens. But then narrowing down the options was harder! While a ketubah is the property of the wife, when the highly decorated ones are chosen, they’re displayed in the home. So, I wanted one that Jeremy would also like.
We went through them, and he indicated his preferences. I then looked at the prices, and whether they were available in Conservative text (since we were being married by a Conservative rabbi in a Conservative synagogue). But even after that I still had a list of 12 that I liked!
So I created a private Facebook album with those photos, product descriptions and links to the websites. I identified my favourites, and then on a visit to Toronto, Jeremy and I sat and discussed the options, ranked them as “tier 1” and “tier 2”, and the each identified our top four (The Acqui by Ze’ev; Royal Wedding by Susanne McGinnis; Stained Glass by Lee Loebman; Arbor Ketubah By Mickie Caspi; Star Ketubah by Nava Shoham), which produced five contenders.
Then, we ran the text by Rabbi Fine, and we had our winner! We ended up picking an unusual design that we both really like, the Star Ketubah by Nava Shoham, sold by ketubah.com. The notes on it were: “Love the drama of this one, even if it’s not traditional at all” (January 27), “Intrigued by it, so bizarre it’s in a whole different category, not sure about it” (February 5), “A real piece of art” (Jeremy, April 29), “Funky and really like it, respectful but not traditional” (me, April 29). Ketubah.com has a wizard which walks you through entering the information needed– the English and Hebrew names of the bride, the groom, and each of your parents, whether the parents are alive, where and when you’ll be getting married, etc. It then sends the link to your officiant for approval. Note that it’s done electronically, so if your officiant is older and not that comfortable online, it’s best to ask them to send the information by “old-fashioned” email. (They were very good with that, once they realized the reason for the delayed approval). Then it arrived in a tube, with detailed information on how to protect it, get it ready for signing, even the pens to use for signing (it’s a tiny space– not even 1 cm high– so you need a super-fine tipped pen that’s acid free, archival quality, etc), and more. Don’t open it when you get it, the natural oils on your fingers will damage the paper/canvass over time; our framer (Germotte) took it out to show it to us while wearing cotton gloves.
Today, it’s framed beautifully and displayed at the foot of the stairs leading from the second story of our home.
We’re very happy with this choice.

Jewish weddings are different from Christian weddings. “Well, of course,” you’re probably thinking. That’s stating the obvious, isn’t it?
It is, but when being presented with important things that are done differently, the normal reaction is to present that which you know works. People are wired to see different as bad, familiar as good. And for most of us, when it comes to weddings, what’s familiar is Christian weddings. That’s the default in North America, whether one is an observant Catholic, or one is an “um, I guess I’m kinda Christian, I s’pose”, or even if one is atheist, the reality is that here, the beloved traditions are derived from Christian weddings. That influence impacts processionals, the ceremony itself, the meal, the dancing, and more. Those traditions are lovely, I’ve enjoyed seeing them at many a friends wedding. But, they’re not my traditions, they’re not Jewish wedding traditions. Continue reading →

DIY Wedding Projects: Stationary
As this was a Jewish wedding, we wanted Jewish wedding invitations. Unfortunately, when we explored our options, we discovered two things:
Jewish wedding invitations aren’t as attractive as secular invitations
Jewish wedding invitations are much more expensive as secular invitations
This was not good: more money for less nice! I looked at many secular options, but just wasn’t happy with that route, either. We tried to resign ourselves to the Jewish options but frankly they were much more than our budget permitted… and in addition to not liking the designs, the quotes they featured didn’t resonate with me. A couple of (non-Jewish) friends of mine recommended using a designer to create a custom look and then printing it through Staples’ Copy & Print Centre. I looked at their costs, noticed there was a big sale, and decided that making it myself was our best option. Continue reading →

Did it myself wedding projects
Weddings are massive projects with many component parts. There are so many options available on the market, but sometimes, none of them are quite “right”. Or are very expensive. If you’re crafty, doing something yourself can be a great way to both save money and keep your wedding as a strong reflection of who you are as a couple.
For my wedding, I designed:
My own stationary (invitations, inserts and thank you notes)
My veil and shoulder covering
A headpiece for myself and for each of my three adult and two junior bridesmaids
Out of Town welcome letter, but it wasn’t used
And then, after the wedding, the wedding albums (a version for the parents, and a version for us). Continue reading →

Living With The Compromises
Posted on February 22, 2013 by Aliza
I had a good-sized budget by secular definitions, but the cost of Kosher catering rendered it rather modest. That led to having to make quite a few compromises, and there was a point where the wedding planning wasn’t fun anymore. It felt like I was compromising away everything important to me, and that this wasn’t going to be the wedding I wanted at all. Continue reading →

Love the print on it and was so excited for it's arrival... but was disappointed with the rough, hard feeling of the material on my body. Quite honestly, it's not worth the price...I expected much softer..
Great work out shirt for a great price
Soft but a bit too large for me.
Cute and I received it quickly.
So soft! Great fit!
The shirt runs a little small.
I’m a size xl and typically a 16. Therefore according To the sizing chart I order an xxl. Wayyyy too big. I can’t even wear it and returns aren’t available.

Johnstown, PA. | Come Take a Look!
The story of the 1889 Johnstown flood holds a certain fascination for us , perhaps because the names are so familiar – names that we’ve heard all of our lives , the great industrialists and financiers who built Pittsburgh. Carnegie , Frick , Pitcairn, Knox , Phippps, Scaife and Mellon were among the 61 members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club which owned the lake and 160 acres of adjacent land.
The lake was originally constructed as a reservoir to provide water for a section of the Pennsylvania canal. However before it could be used for this purpose the canal was rendered obsolete by the railroad system. Over the next 21 years the top of the dam crumbled and drainage pipes were removed from beneath the dam. When the club bought the land the dam was in need of costly repairs. They chose to patch instead of repair. The drainage pipes which could have been used to ease pressure on the dam walls were never replaced. The top of the dam was built up with loose fill and then the water was allowed to rise above a structurally safe point. The spillway which should have kept the lake at a safe level was blocked by a debris catching fish screen because the club didn’t want their game fish escaping down the river.
After the dam failed , flooding Johnstown with 20 million tons off water , killing over 2000 people and causing 17 million dollars in property damage , the club members abandoned the property. None of them ever returned to Johnstown and the property was sold at a sheriff’s sale. Individual members contributed small amounts to help the people of Johnstown but neither they or the club ever admitted to any responsibility for the disaster. No lawsuit against the club or any member was successful. More pictures- http://cid-4ce32117b0082fb8.photos.live.com/browse.aspx/Johnstown%20%5EJPA

My favorite flags:Great BritainArgentinaSwedenMy favorite anthems (because of their beautiful music and meaningful lyrics):O CanadaHimno Nacional ArgentinoIl Canto degli ItalianiMy favorite daily photo blogger:Can't disclose that! ;D
Actually, the Swiss flag isn't a rectangle either.. it's square. Urm, I'm not going to say anything else about that. :-) There is another square flag, but the name of the country escapes me. Anyone?I'm not officially Swiss (yet?!) so I'll share my current observations about the Swiss flag. One interesting thing I've noticed here is that people have a very easy relationship with the flag. In that, there's isn't much pomp and circumstance involved (compared to what I felt in the US), as far as I've noticed. It is true that you'll see a lot of Swiss flags all over the place. But then, for me personally, it isn't too surprising in a country where there are 3 (4) official (national) languages, and driving 3 hours from the center can put you in one of four different countries.I realise I went off on a tangent from your questions. Sorry..
In Spain, the thing about the flag is a little bit polemic... there is a lot of people who refuses it and there's a lot of people who loves it. It's a political stuff nowadays...What I can tell you that i don't really like its colours, i think it could be more beautiful, but well, it's aour flag, and when I see it I think of Spain and that's something important uh?But I don't think it represents me. it's just a symbol, i don't know... maybe i'll post one for tomorrow... ;)
Nice photo.ButI wish all national falgs could be banished forever. The amount of killing done under the auspices of flags is enough to turn me off. Cos at the end of it all, wars are about control of territory and power over the people living within the bordrs. And because nationalistic flag-flying fervour is a convenient mask for racist and jingoistic nationalism. I hate the way Australia, which used to be pretty relaxed about flag-flying has been taken in the grip of flag waving at every opportunity. Racist nationalists wrap themselves in it and justify their loud mouthed views of oppression for example at Cronulla. The most beautiful flag - the Torres Strait Islander one. Not a national flag, but a statement about history and dispossession under another flag. I like its colours and balance. In terms of national flags, I like the designs of the Papua Niugini bird of paradise, and the Lebanese Cedar. I like the Welsh one too. And Kiribati. And St Pierre and Miquelon (I like pictures). South Africa's rainbow of colours is a statement of reconciliation (if not wholly achieved in practice). For simple elegance, the French flag does well.The other square national flag is the Vatican's.
Thank you all for your comments. Z and Sally, I'm glad that you reminded us that the Swiss and Vatican flags are square - got by me, although I've visited both of them. Dsole, I suppose that our feelings about our own country's flag is intertwined with our feelings about our country. I really like the Spanish flag - it is full of passion and energy. Sally, I agree about the French flag's simple, elegant beauty. I think it's that gorgeous shade of blue, combined with vertical stripes that look like pillars to me. The Russian flag has almost evactly the same colors but the thinner horizontal stripes just don't carry the same power.And lastly, Sally - your blog says that you are opinionated. You let us have it! Flags are about US being a group and different from YOU, division rather than unity, differences rather than our common humanity. You, I and lots of other people wish our species considered the latter more important than the former. It may take centuries and/or some genetic changes for us to get there.Bob
Wonderful rant from Sally, got to love her for that!I like the Aboriginal flag, for its simplicity and strong symbolism.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Australian_Aboriginal_Flag.svgBlack people on the red earth under the yellow sunBut like Sally, I'm too concerned about flag waving to really enjoy the discussion. Dreadful in the US.

an expat's wife (in khartoum no more...): A trip to the east coast : from KT to Kemaman...
On the morning of the 9th, we went to Hiliran Masjid or 'Lerang' for short. We went there to see Che' Da and Ayah Da 'Sin. Had breakfast there and after that I bought some keropok lekor. Had to wait because there were so many customers. I bought the ready-fried ones, really hot as they were just out of the fryer, but so delicious, full of 'fishy' taste...hehehe
Then we went to Che' Wa's house. She was a bit frantic because her house was flooded with water. The day before, the water rose about a few inches inside the house. The front carpet was still wet when we were there. But we assured her that it was okay and we ate the keropok lekor at her house (and finished it as well!). We had fun chatting with Che' Wa because she liked to laugh and liked to tease my in-laws...hehehe (Kitorang tumpang gelak je la, especially since she spoke Trengganu very fast). Little that we know that would be the last time that we would meet her. She passed away on 5th of January, a day after we arrived in Khartoum. Al-fatihah buat Che' Wa... May Allah bless her soul...Amin...
Amir enjoying his keropok lekor...
Abg Long, Che' Wa and We'
We were enjoying the food and the company...
Daddy managed to wear the house slipper to protect his feet, while sri made sure her feet were forever aloft...hehehe
Then we drove to Kemaman to meet Daddy's brother, Ayah Su and his family. We met them in McDonald's Kemaman because they were visiting their friends whose house was burnt down. Their house was actually in Dungun, somewhere behind UiTM Dungun. The McDonald was full of people and after a brief chat, we continued our journey. I'm quite close with che' su because she's about my age and a teacher and I discovered that she's also a fellow blogger...hehehe. I felt that the visit was too short. I wish we could meet somewhere more quiet and probably spend more time to catch up...sigh... What to do? We travel as a group, so we left as a group...sigh... In the confusion, mummy left a pair of black shoes in the parking lot... hehehe, we saw them on the road but since we did not recognise it, we just drove off...
Ayah Su looked a lot like Daddy and he's just a year or 2 older than my husband...
Catching up with news...
Daru -Ssa'adah, somewhere in Kemaman...
Finally, around Asar we arrived in Kemaman, at Auntie Maznah and Uncle Muda's vacation house. They're my in-laws's long time friends. And we had a late lunch there... the most memorable dish would be the beef soup (from the qurban). So, it was really fresh and yummy!!!
ina, aku nak balik KT next weekend, nak kirim kepok lekor? hehe..

Magpies defeat brave Yeading
Last updated at 17:34 09 January 2005
They took the field to the strains of David Bowie singing 'We can be heroes, just for one day' and the painters and decorators of part-time Yeading were just that, despite being unable to bridge a footballing gulf unique to the FA Cup.
In the end they succumbed to second-half goals from Newcastle's Lee Bowyer and Shola Ameobi but the consternation at times on the face of Newcastle manager Graeme Souness during a goalless first half in which the non-league side gave as good as they got told the story of this most romantic of cup ties.
It was just as well Souness paid the non-league outfit the respect of fielding a strong side with new signing Jean-Alain Boumsong coming in for his debut while goalkeeper Steve Harper replaced Shay Given, who started on the bench.
There was no Alan Shearer, still recovering from injury, but Yeading will still remember this day as the afternoon they threatened the most astonishing upset in FA Cup history.
That they did not had much to do with a bit of Premiership nous, superior
top-flight fitness and perhaps the fear among the Newcastle side of returning to
encounter Souness in a dressing room with faces covered in egg.
After all, these teams were separated by 123 league places and six potential
Newcastle's talent cost £30million. Yeading's cost nothing. Yeading's average
home crowd is 160, Newcastle's 55,000. Newcastle's average weekly wage £40,000
while some members of the Yeading team would take home no more than £30 for
No wonder it had been billed as 'The Ding v The Bling.'
But buoyed by the feat of non-league Exeter's goalless draw at Manchester
United yesterday, and in front of a noisy crowd of 10,824, Yeading made
Newcastle work for this victory. True, Souness must have despaired at the
profligacy of his team.
Wherever you looked there was someone in a black and white shirt intent it
seemed on fluffing their lines, Frenchman Laurent Robert setting the tone for
Newcastle in the first minute when he made a complete hash of his left-foot shot
with only Yeading goalkeeper Delroy Preddie to beat.
Bowyer contrived to miss a simple tap-in from two yards and Craig Bellamy hit
the crossbar with a rasping right-foot shot from eight yards when he should have
But to dwell on Newcastle's chances would be to deny Yeading their due credit.
They were fearless from the outset, snapping and snarling at the heels of
Newcastle's internationals, denying them time and space and proving that will
and desire can bridge a gap in skill.
Tellingly, Yeading enjoyed 52% of the possession in that first half, which was
a reflection on their hard work as much as an indictment of Newcastle's wayward
Their goalkeeper, 5ft 10ins Delroy Preddie, a civil servant who spends his
days fighting benefit fraud, proved an obstinate obstacle, saving spectacularly
from Jermaine Jenas's 25-yard rocket and low-down from Shola Ameobi. His
handling throughout was superb.
And the fact is Yeading could easily have gone in at half-time in the lead. If
only Emond Protain's powerful header had been six inches lower. If only David
Clarke's fabulous free-kick had been a little wider of goalkeeper Stephen
Harper's frantic dive.
As it was one of the biggest roars of the afternoon came from the Yeading fans
came during the interval as they greeted the news of Stoke's goal against
Cup upsets were in the air and Yeading were gaining in confidence, so much so
that Souness attempted to stiffen Newcastle's resolve, bringing on Andy O'Brien
at half-time for the shaky Bramble.
The little non-league side, however, finally cracked in the 51st minute.
Ameobi twisted and turned to evade the attentions of three Yeading players
before threading a cute through-ball to Bellamy who crossed for Bowyer to slide
home into an empty net from close range. It was barely what Newcastle deserved
but it did seem to settle the Premiership team's nerves.
And with Yeading forced to chase the game and superior fitness levels
beginning to tell it was inevitable when Newcastle increased their lead in the
61st minute. This time Darren Ambrose flighting in a free-kick which saw Ameobi
rise to power a precise header past goalkeeper Preddie.
Newcastle could have had more but then Harper was also stung into action, a
flying fingertip save denying Darti Brown a last-minute consolation.
Yeading were wonderful. Newcastle were poor. That probably sums up this cup
tie which ended with Yeading taking a deserved lap of honour and manager Johnson
Hippolyte publicly thanking the club's support.
The dream is over. But no-one can say that they have not now heard of Yeading.

Be Kinder Than Necessary: January 2011
LIDDLE WOLF CUBBIE
Three years ago last month, he wove his way into my heart and claimed me as his very own. The pup who has never met a stranger, happily greeting anyone who comes his way, still has an innate need to check in with me and remind himself that he is Totally and Forever mine.
I truly do not believe that I deserve a love this strong and pure....But it is a gift, and Mom always said to graciously and humbly Take the Gift....So, it is mine, and because of it, I have grown and learned and experienced a dog like none other.
The Standard for the Collie includes a major portion devoted to "expression." It is the subject discussed by the Best of Colliefolk, and its interpretation is as vast as there are Colliefolk....But the main component in a Collie face is summed up in the Expression. And, even tho he has entertained us with his silly antics and eternal puppyhood, SOMEtimes, through that dorky little face I am beginning to see traces of wisdom and even a bit of elegance.
Man, it has taken a Long Time!
He's actually learning how to pay attention, how to respond gently, and how to receive guests without jumping up. Why, we have even completed a visit to PetSmart without peeing in the store.
Next month he will qualify for his second "leg" in AKC Rally Obedience. Off leash.... "No net" as Bikeman calls it. In March we will dance in the upper level at a World Canine Freestyle event. April finds us at the Collie Nationals and completing that Rally title. May is an Animal Communication workshop in New Hampshire. And, of course, June is CampGoneToTheDogs.
In the meantime, we still take time to do a few therapy visits....
This is my "kennel help" who assists me when we load up the van at the Retirement Center. The boyz do whatever he tells them to. And the Wolf Cubbie doesn't jump up....I'm thinking that he might be a pretty good ambassador for the breed....Dorky smile and all....

Do you remember what you were doing 40 years ago? How OLD were you? Do you remember the fashions you wore back then (certainly something Very short if you are female!).....How old was yer Momma? Your sisters and brothers? Who was president then? What car did you drive?
Forty years seems like such a very long time ago, and when I was 19, the folks who were 59 seemed ancient and Quite Stoopid and out of the loop.
I turn 59 this month. The last year in my decade of fifties....And as I look at that Ancient Age, I look back to that young woman who was 19 and so desperately in love. In love with Life, with herself, and with a very handsome and kind Sailor stationed at the Naval Base in Memphis Tennessee.
I married that kind man, and we have been on a Roller Coaster Ride for the past 40 years. It doesn't look like there is any hope of things being much different. We speed up, we slow down, we rocket downhill, we fly to the top till we are almost out of track, and there have been Very Few non-breathtaking moments in the whole dam ride.....
Together, we have lived thru 8 presidents, several wars and rumors of war, 4 college degrees, 2 mortgages, countless cars, vans, dogs, cats, and various other animals. We have gained and lost weight. Grown our hair out and chopped it off (well, that would be ME, Bikeman's hair has stayed the SAME all these years. Really). We have argued over children, money, the thermostat setting, schedules, who gets to mow the lawn...
I Love mowing the lawn! I LOVE it! WHY does his "manly duty" get in the way of this wonderful activity?
I wanted to write something about Wisdom and Knowledge and give Sage Advice about Something, ANYthing in this Blog, but, honestly....well....I don't feel much different than I did 40 years ago when I knew everything and believed we would someday be Famous.....It was only Yesterday when I first laid eyes on that blonde, blue-eyed handsome sailor. Only yesterday when we embraced each other and "Knew" that this was the end of our lives as we knew it.....Hours after that, we had children and minutes after that, they finished college and married and gave us grandchildren. Seconds later we were retired and riding bicycles nonstop and teaching dogs how to dance.
HOW can one learn something Important in so short a time?
Fifty-nine.....Apologies that I do not have any Wise Words to go with my Advanced Age....
I will tell you one thing that I have learned, and truthfully, I did Not learn it from the Dali Lama...tho I do have his book The Art of Happiness and have digested every word...
I believe that it is Very Important to be happy. My Mom quoted Abraham Lincoln as saying that "Most folks are as happy as they make their minds up to be." She also handed me her Dale Carnegie books---"Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic." and "Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude."
Grow up with those attitudes in your face everyday, and some of it is bound to sink in....With or WITHOUT the Dali Lama.....It also shows on your face, and in your relationships and in the manner in which people react to you. When you are Happy, you will accomplish much, you will benefit many, and you will allow the Love of the Great Creator of us All to shine outward and warm the planet.
That's about all I have to "give" you of my nearly60years....
Figger out a way to Be Happy, then spread it all around.

Wait A Second!: Trial court removes juror from case because he cannot read nor write
Trial court removes juror from case because he cannot read nor write
A jury of your peers sounds nice, but they are not really your "peers." They are people who swear they can be fair, who do not know any of the parties of witnesses, do not have any felony convictions and can read and write English. In this case, the trial court dismissed a juror mid-trial upon learning the juror was not able to read or write. The criminal defendant appeals from that ruling, claiming it denied him a fair trial. The Court of Appeals does not agree, and the conviction stands.
The case is United States v. Iverson, issued on July 31. I wrote about the search and seizure issue at this link. On that issue, the trial court found, and the Court of Appeals agreed, that the search of defendant's apartment which revealed drugs was legal. Once the case went to trial, during jury selection Prospective Juror 16 said during voir dire that he looks at magazines but that he is not "really a good reader." He also said he can sometimes make out what the stories are about. The government wanted to excuse Number 16 from the trial because he fell asleep during jury selection, but the trial court upheld defendant's Batson objection and said if the juror fell asleep during trial that would be "easily corrected" and that while the juror was uneducated, "he seemed to be bright . . . and he impressed me as being able to grasp the facts." (A Batson challenge alleges the government is trying to eliminate a juror because of his race).
Once the trial started, however, the court's jury administrator told the judge that Number 16 may not have completed his juror questionnaire. When the judge questioned the juror about this, he said his wife filled out the form because he was unable to do it. Once the judge determined the juror cannot read or write, he excused Number 16.
The Court of Appeals notes that federal jurors must be able to understand the English language sufficient to complete the questionnaire, which means that an illiterate juror cannot be empaneled. The problem here is that the trial court questioned the juror outside the presence of the parties, and there is no indication the parties consented to the court's decision to immediately dismiss the juror following the ex parte conversation about his literacy. Despite that procedural error, defendant does not get a new trial. The Court of Appeals (Kearse, Calabresi and Livingston) applies the harmless error rule, as the trial court properly found the juror could neither read nor write and that the information this juror provided to the court on this issue compelled the court to dismiss the juror from the trial.
