China opts for trade diplomacy with India to restore trust and confidenceOctober 2nd, 2008 - 2:37 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Oct 2 (IANS) China has opted for trade diplomacy to restore trust and confidence in ties with India.A 70-member business delegation from China, comprising all the major Chinese companies, is arriving here next week on the first-ever "government procurement" mission to India that Beijing hopes will reduce the nine-billion dollar plus trade gap that exists between the countries.
Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng is leading the impressive delegation that will have senior executives of China Chemicals, China Petrol, China Machinery, China Grid and Sino Steel - all leading state-owned enterprises - as well as other representatives of key Chinese companies.
"This is the first-ever government procurement delegation that is being sent from China to India," a senior Chinese diplomatic official told IANS here.
"The delegation that comprises all the major players of China have shown a keen interest in India and wants to find out what is on offer," the official added.
Gao and the business delegation arrive in Delhi on Oct 8. The next two days the Chinese vice minister is scheduled to meet Minister of State for Commerce Jairam Ramesh and commerce secretary G.K. Pillai. He will leave for Bangalore Oct 11 to look at India's Information Technology hub before returning to China.
The members of the business delegation from China will have in-depth interaction with senior officials of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) Oct 9-12 to find ways to boost and strengthen trade between the two sides.
Sino-Indian trade has been growing at a phenomenal pace and has already surpassed the $40-billion mark. China is now India's largest trading partner, having relegated the US to the second spot.
But the current trade figures are heavily tilted in China's favour and till the end of 2007 the gap between the two countries was over $9 billion.
"The main aim of the procurement delegation is to see what the Chinese companies can take back from India that will not only help reduce the existing trade gap but also strengthen trade between the two sides," a senior Chinese official said.
One reason for Beijing's attempt at reducing the existing trade gap may also stem from the recent strain in Sino-Indian relations in the wake of reports about China's "questionable role" at the Nuclear Suppliers' Group meeting in Vienna this September.
Many in the Indian establishment were miffed at China's attempt to stop the 45-member NSG from reaching a consensus on an India-specific waiver. But the waiver was granted to India on Sep 6 and China along with the other members had joined in the consensus that has opened the door for nuclear commerce between India and the rest of the world.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week to ensure the steady improvement in bilateral ties between the two neighbours remained on track.

An Iron Wind
Europe Under Hitler
"A profoundly significant exploration of how Europeans–both Germans and those under German occupation–struggled to make sense of the conflict." –Richard Overy, Wall Street JournalRead More
In An Iron Wind, historian Peter Fritzsche draws on first-person accounts to show how civilians in occupied Europe struggled to understand the terrifying chaos of World War II. As the Third Reich targeted Europe's Jews, confusion and mistrust reigned. Was collaboration or resistance the wisest response? And where was God? Piecing together the broken words of the war's witnesses and victims, Fritzsche offers a haunting picture of the most violent conflict in modern history.

Joint Degeneration is not just about age, it's mainly about trauma. What can you do about it?
What is it?
Arthritis means inflammation in the joint. This inflammation can be of any cause, infection, acute trauma etc. However Degenerative Joint Disease is in fact a disorder and is common in animals and humans alike usually referred to as DJD. It is generally regarded as a non-inflammatory condition of articular cartilage and is often called osteoarthritis.
There are two classifications, primary DJD which occurs where there is no known trauma or disease but is typical of the joint changes in the older animal. Secondary DJD is from some direct trauma or infection of the joint. It can also result from some systemic diseases. Articular disease comes in two categories also: inflammatory and non-inflammatory and DJD is in the latter, however there may be an intermittent inflammatory phase.
Secondary DJD and its inevitable progression to damage and painful inefficient joints can occur at any age and several factors may initiate the start of the disorder. Sadly once the process starts it cannot be reversed or cured. However the process can be slowed and relief can be provided that may result in a horse maintaining an active life. DJD is the number one reason for premature horse retirement.
Joints are lined by specialized tissue, called hyaline cartilage that is vital to smooth joint function. This cartilage can become frayed and damaged due to the mechanical wear, the normally smooth glistening cartilage becomes eroded and thin, ultimately exposing bone and causing pain. With more chronic cases, the soft tissue supporting structures can become thickened which results in a decreased range of motion of the joint. DJD is not a condition of articular cartilage alone, the synovial membrane which lines the joint cavity, is also affected.
If left unattended joints will become swollen and sore and eventually, new bone is created to strengthen the surface (a process called sclerosis) and extend its margins (bone spurs and osteophytes). In its final stages, if left unchecked, arthritis causes the fusing of equine joints.
The key is the extent of the progress and acting early so that it can be held at a point that the horse is pain free and still useful. While it cannot be reversed it can be stopped and symptoms alleviated.
What Causes It
The number one cause is trauma, either a direct one off or repetitive concussive forces. The most common is the latter and various factors are involved in the intensity of the forces. Right at the start a horse should be analysed for conformation defects. If a career is planned for racing, jumping, dressage etc, then an experienced veterinarian should assess whether the conformation is strong and correct enough for the horse to pursue the chosen career to the highest levels. Over taxing an unsuitably built horse is likely to produce DJD and maybe a decision not to pursue a particular path may mean that given an easier sport, DJD can be delayed or even prevented.
Good intelligent shoeing can assist , but a farrier should not try and correct a deviation of the leg as that will only cause stress on joints which otherwise may not be susceptible. Good support for the actual structure that the horse has may alleviate the pressures on the joints. Balanced level feet with correct angles are vital to assist prevention, on the other hand. Incorrect shoeing can often be triggering factor
Excessive workload or overly strenuous training can be a cause but the key factor is the surface the horse is worked on, trauma from concussion is the most common cause of DJD in an earlier onset. The old fashioned idea of trotting eventing horses out on the roads to" harden them up", is typical of the lack of understanding of what brings a horse to an early end of its competitive life.
The desire to have a workable all weather surface, whether it be an arena or track, that is level and firm throughout the year, has resulted in hard sand or cinders etc being used with no thought to cushioning the strike of the leg . Many are built as though they were a road and a shallow sand surface is placed on top. To avoid impact resistance, some consideration must be given to cushioning that surface if the horse is not to start the negative processes towards DJD. Overseas surfaces are inherently deeper, softer, and sand being added to rubber, soft chips, a mix of sand and rubber / plastic, or the European fibre sand is utilised. Indoor surfaces are often peat.
The hoof moves forwards downwards, and rapidly decelerates when brought in contact with the ground. It's this deceleration and strike and causes the concussive effect which can be damaging to joints and bones. The term impact resistance describes the ability of the footing to absorb that concussive effect, therefore hard surfaces have high impact resistance.
Sheer resistance describes the ease with which the footing is displaced by a shearing (rotational) force. When the leg is pushing against the ground to generate propulsion, the toe tends to rotate into the surface. The shear resistance of the footing should be low enough to allow the toe to dig in as the hoof pushes against it, reducing tension in the distal check ligament and reducing pressure of the deep digital flexor tendon on the navicular region. The shear resistance can, however, be too low. For example deep soft dry sand ( as above the tideline at the beach), the ground does not offer sufficient resistance to the hoof pushing against it. Instead, the surface gives way during push off and the muscles have to work harder to generate propulsion. As a consequence of having to work harder, the muscles can become fatigued more quickly and this predisposes the horse's ligaments and tendons to injuries. Surfaces that are deep and soft will have low impact resistances but very deep heavy soft sand may be detrimental to ligaments and tendons as they will fatigue quicker with the effort of moving the legs through such a surface.
The negative effect of deep sand can be reduced by adding water which will improve the shear resistance as the foot moves through the sand, for example being ridden along the edge of the waterline on a beach is an improvement from the deeper dry sand and it still can provide a softer surface than hard dry sand. . The answer lies in the middle, with low impact resistance, as suggested from using wood, fibre, rubber and other synthetics etc , hard and/or dry sand is the worst option and most likely to initiate the process of DJD. The depth of the hoof print is a good indicator of the impact resistance, the deeper the hoof print, the lower the impact resistance and the concussive effect transmitted to joints and bones.
Left: a hard surface with high impact resistance does not allow the toe to dig in during push off.
Centre: a surface with moderate impact and shear resistance allows the toe to dig but then offers resistance as the hoof pushes off.
Right: a soft surface with low impact but low shear resistance and gives way and does not offer sufficient resistance as the hoof pushes off.
Scientific studies have shown actual measurements that impact force is much greater with sand , and can be dampened ( reduced in force) , by the addition of water or wood or fibre. Three levels of force were classified, the greatest being dense hard (asphalt), surfaces with friction damping (sand), the least being surfaces with structural damping (wood fibres).
Whilst the cheapest option maybe hard shallow sand, it may be the most expensive if it shortens the active life of the joint and bones of the horse! When veterinarians check a horse for lameness, they run it on a hard surface as the horse is much more likely to show lameness on such a surface ….. Go figure!
Direct trauma to the joint can often develop into DJD, but any injury to a joint, strains , sprains, direct impact should be investigated and monitored so that the possibility of DJD is noted before it becomes chronic.
What are the Signs?
At first the horse may not show actual lameness, but that will come eventually. Initially the usual pain signs of discomfort, ears back, grumpy reaction to being pushed to move, restless tail when moving, personality change, then shortened steps, feeling to the rider of a jarring through the horse. It then moves on into stronger reactions to pain, refusing to go and more negative responses even when handled. Sadly some of the early signs are often missed with inexperienced owners/trainers suggesting the horse be forced often with the whip. Early on there may be a mild lameness which seems to come and go. It gets better with a turn out to pasture but returns and increases the harder the horse is worked. If the joint has a capsule that is distensible then some swelling and maybe heat is seen and felt. But if the joint is one that is contained by strong ligaments and or tendons, then swelling may not be evident. Early attention to the signs is so important as, while the process is not reversible, it can be ameliorated and held at a minor level.
To obtain a diagnosis a veterinarian may carry out an intra-articular block, using local anaesthetic. After the area of the pain is located then X-rays will be taken to help establish the cause. Also taking a sample of the fluid from the joint (synovial) can be tested to indicate the presence of arthritis. This can also indicate the extent of the degeneration by the count of the cartilage and bone cells. Possible bone fractures are also detectable.
The use of x-rays alone can create misleading diagnosis, indeed in the early part of the disease very little sign of DJD may show on x-ray. Some changes may show and could mislead the diagnosis, so x-rays are used after other signs are confirmed, merely to assess the extent of the disease, or indeed show fractures or developmental abnormalities which may be the true cause of the pain. Bone spurs are not an indication as they can exist in pain free joints.
Arthroscopy is an option, where an optical tube is inserted into the joint and gives the veterinarian a view of the joint and its issues. Changes can be seen as an area of dullness on the cartilage, colour change from glistening white to a mottled grey or even yellow. However this is an invasive procedure into the joint and has all the risks of that invasion. It is usually carried out by a specialist (in which a slender optical instrument is inserted into the joint cavity) gives the most definitive diagnosis of arthritis, as your veterinarian can actually see the extent of the damage. Most veterinarians, however, do not routinely use arthroscopy as a diagnostic because it is an invasive procedure requiring anesthesia.
What Can be Done
As stated it is not curable, it is progressive so the very best that we can do is to prevent it. As always experience is needed to successfully care for and work with a horse , if you don't have that experience to truly provide a balanced healthy diet, a correct work or exercise regime, understand conformation and shoeing , provide the specific care after trauma or injury, then seek qualified and expert assistance . Lack of education and knowledge creates many of the unnecessary chronic conditions in a horse.
So from the above causes you can deduce that to prevent the onset of DJD, start from the earliest days and provide a good balanced nutrition to maximise quality bone and joint development, before breaking in a horse should be assessed for his conformation, and be targeted to be utilised in a way that is appropriate to that confirmation. Ongoing he needs to be well shod (balanced and level and true to his angles) by an experienced person, in a way to reduce stress and concussive forces to the joints. The work requirement should be planned so as not to be overly excessive in the younger years and most particularly great consideration must be given to the surface that the horse is required to work on.
If DJD develops recognising the signals from the horse early can make a big difference to not allowing any further progression.
It has now been shown with scientific studies that using a nutriceutical that has the correct active ingredients in the correct quantities has a recognised beneficial effect on joints that are showing signs of DJD, and that they help to maintain the quality of the cartilage and retain its elasticity and shock absorbing qualities. Ideally a nutriceutical should be used before any chronic DJD develops, especially with horses that may be vulnerable for any of the reasons given above. Prophylactic use can assist where a horse is required to work at a young age, as with racing both harness and thoroughbred. As stated the nutriceutical must have certain active ingredients as proven by scientific test to be effective and they must be at the levels also scientifically shown to be effective.
The use of injections directly into the joint, (only carried out by a veterinarian) in combination with a suitable nutriceutical, like Flex Equine Plus , has also been scientifically proven to reduce the negative reactions to DJD. Indeed this combination has been proven to reduce the number of injections required, and therefore the cost. Likewise intra- muscular injections of products like Pentosan in combination with the same high standard nutriceutical can have similar benefits for horses not quite at such a level of the disease. Varied lengths of paddock rest can prolong the active use of the horse but as discussed a chronic condition is not reversible and becomes a maintenance regime to reduce the level of discomfort and achieve some extension of the horse's competitive years.

Hi allI am wondering if you use any warmers/ ice-breaker exercises in your creative learning environment you want to share.Thank you.Have a great day Chris
As the year winds down, we have had many great resources shared here on the Ed Exchange, some found and others created by our members. Which ones stand out as the best resources this year? Why not comment and we can compile a shortlist of the best of the best?
I'm constantly seeking ways for my students to use their computer literacy skills that will incorporate other subjects too. Responding to literature, science math or history are definitely ways to integrate core curriculum into my lessons. I have done the following in my classroom: Ideas: Student created video of math conceptStudent created explainer on the idea of DNAStudent created video explaining ideas learned in a unit, using graphics and text to demonstrate their understanding.Claymation video on the Human Reproductive System These are only a few ways I've supported students creative process in their learning; however, this lesson will enable students to recreate a bookcover of their favorite book or one they are reading for literature. Students will include in their book cover redesign: Summary of AuthorStory SummaryDiscuss the theme, plot and hint to the climaxPictureWhat you enjoyed/didn't like about the book Students will use Google Drawing, Adobe Digital Publisher or Photoshop, if available
Students will use Digital Images or Photos they take to come up with a story idea. From there they will get into groups and using brainstorming, creative thought and visualizing they will create the beginning to their own stories. Students will each use a computer or laptop and after a period of time rotate. Students will rotate and add to their neighbors story in their group. After 3 to 4 rotations, the students will place an ending onto their story and begin to find or illustrate images to add to their story, bringing it to life. Students will use Adobe products to illustrate, sketch images and to finalize their stories. Students will end by producing a Digital Story using Adobe Voice.

The Adobe iPad Apps class is a showcase of the different Adobe Apps that are available. Due to recent changes in the Adobe App choices (Adobe Ideas dropped from the Creative Cloud). The Class includes what apps are available in the app store - rather than a focus on one of the apps. The workshop does not aim to teach the participants how to use the apps, the objective is to showcase the apps. And for the participants to have a better expectation of what each app function is (video, audio, presentation, drawing, planning etc.) Most people are slow to adapt using the iPad in any meaningful way. Most people want to know how they can improve their workflow - not make it more difficult by using inferior versions of apps they have on their desktop. This workshop objective is to help user know when they can use iPad apps to reach different goals. Visit the Class Resource page for sample of work created with Adobe iPad Apps that you can use in your class. The class feedback form is also included.

I would like to know the strategy of educators in teaching students about taste for design, or design acumen. The way how will educators know that a particular design is better than the other. furthermore, what are the techniques educators are using in teaching design concepts and boosting creativity of the students.
I am looking for teachers who are implementing classroom projects in the elementary school classroom where students are using Adobe software applications. If your students are currently using Adobe software applications I hope that you will post a comment to this discussion. I would like to know: 1) What grade level the students; 2) What products the students are using; 3) How many workstations are loaded with the software applications; 4) How was the software purchased; school or district funding, grant written by central district personnel, grant written by the teacher, software purchased by the teacher with own money, software donated by a company 5) What type of project are the students working on; 6) What other type of information concerning this discussion would you like to share? I believe that a discussion like this may help provide teachers the information needed to help justify technology purchases.

Natural Delights Medjool Dates are revered as the world's biggest, sweetest and most-moist dates. Their luscious caramel-like taste and chewy texture make Medjools melt-in-your mouth irresistible. Perhaps better still, Medjool dates are a 'power fruit' loaded with antioxidants and essential nutrients like fibre and potassium, and they're low medium on the Glycemic Index to help you maintain a consistent blood sugar level. Grown in the Bard Valley straddling California and Arizona, Natural Delights brand Medjool Dates are available in organic, conventional, and pitted varieties as well as in almond, coconut and pistachio rolls.
Miranda's Memo
When I bake, I love exploring different ways to naturally sweeten my desserts. One of my favourite sweeteners to use in a recipe is Medjool dates. Medjool dates, also known as "The King of all Dates" are a staple in my kitchen. I keep a large mason jar of them in my cupboard because they are delicious as a snack on their own, or as mentioned above, they can be used as a natural sweetener in a recipe. Medjool dates have a creamy, caramel like texture that can satisfy a sweet craving. Some may call them "nature's candy." So does nature's candy have any health benefits? You bet! Each Medjool date is packed with health promoting vitamins and minerals.
Check them out
They are high in FIBRE
- Medjool dates are high in soluble fibre, which not only helps with constipation, but it also stabilizes blood sugar, cholesterol levels and makes you feel full longer
- Medjool datescontain a specific type of soluble fibre called beta-D-glucan, which can absorb and hold water, giving it the ability to add bulk and softness to stools which can help eliminate any toxins or waste from your colon
They are high in ANTI-OXIDANTS
- Medjool dates are filled with powerful anti-oxidants that help protect the body against inflammation of cells that can lead to cancer
- Medjool dates contain more antioxidants than blueberries and blackberries
They are naturally SWEET
- Medjool dates are naturally sweet, and they contain no added preservatives or sugars. They are a great alterative to any artificial sweetener
They are high in POTASSIUM
- Medjool dates are rich in potassium, which replenishes lost electrolytes and can also help to control your heart rate and blood pressure. They are perfect if you need a quick energy pick-me-up
- Medjool dates are higher in potassium than bananas, spinach and oranges and provide 20% of the nutritional daily value per 3.5 ounce serving!
They help STABLIIZE BLOOD SUGAR
- Medjool dates are considered medium on the Glycemic Index, which keeps insulin levels stable and assists with weight control
They are high in COPPER
- Medjool dates are high in Copper, which is a mineral that helps your body absorb and use iron to form red blood cells
- Copper is also used to form collagen, which is an important component of bone, skin, cartilage and tissues
They are high in B VITAMINS
- Medjool dates are an excellent source of B Vitamins, which help maintain the health of your hair and skin as well as your liver function
- Vitamin B6 helps with mood regulation and Vitamin B5 plays a role in red blood cell development
Medjool Date Pumpkin Seed Butter Cups
- 2/3 cup organic coconut oil
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 12 tsp. organic pumpkin seed butter
- 10 medjool dates quartered
- Melt coconut oil over a low heat to a liquid.
- Add cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon and stir. Set aside.
- Add mini muffin liners to mini muffin pan.
- Add 1 tbsp. chocolate mixture to each mini liner and stick in the freezer for 10 minutes.

but here goes, the korean village has been around since the 90's or late 80's way before this whole hallyu, korean wave started. it was on remedios circle but is now on nakpil street. according to my sister in law she's been coming to this resto since the 90's and have gone thru several milestones together. buti pa sya may ganong factor LOL.
here's their assorted barbecue, it has chicken liver, beef strips, chicken, and one shrimp. i really like the barbecue sauce used on here. it's sweet and a little salty. the serving is good for 2, but it shrinks so it would be ok to order another. if you keep it on the burner for too long the stuff will get rubbery tough so soon as you don't see the blood, it's time to eat it.
Price: PhP200
the galbichim: korean beef stew. the Benj liked it. the beef didn't melt off the bone the way the beef does in the galbichim served in DuRi[Robinson's Galeria] but was tender enough for the price, about PhP220. the serving in korean village is slightly bigger than in other korean restaurants like WooRiJib and DaeYang. the sauce is similar to the rest of them, only a tad sweeter than most.
the spicy ramen: around PhP200. sorry for the awful pic with the serving spoon. but dude, this is what i loved of the three that we ordered. the thick noodles, the spicy sauce was great. not too overwhelming but warms you up. the bowl had a great helpings of squid. it wasn't fishy or malansa at all. the spicy sauce covers that up really well. my only complaint was it had loads of red and green pepper which i don't eat even on pizza's. alam nyo yun, halatang pamparami, grrr.
rice: PhP40 per. so ten bucks cheaper than most korean restaurants.
now for the title. so as per each description of the dishes, the prices here are cheaper than WooRiJib and DaeYang and especially SongDo [el pueblo, ortigas]. the food here in korean village is sorta authentic but it could be better. the chop sticks here are not the metal kind we're used to at other korean restaurants. so the metal spoon that goes with the metal chop sticks weren't there either. the only two things that reminded me of other korean restaurants were the plastic pitcher that we always see in korean restaurants and the barbecue in the middle of the table. so it's less expensive here, but only if i'm around the area or if it's for a free dinner will i go back here. there are other korean restaurants, like about a dozen around this k-town to try out, anyhow.
this restaurant is way better than Kaya though, thank gawd.

Choosing your Crystals
There are no rules to follow when selecting crystals, the stone that you choose (or the stone that chooses you) could be tumbled, cut and polished, clear or coloured. Your instinct will guide you to the stone that will help you the most. Always follow your intuition, if you trust in your feelings, you can be sure that the crystal that you are drawn to is the right one for you at this time in your life. Other people may offer their opinion about a particular stone, which you may not agree with, you must trust your own feelings and follow your instinct.
Ø Heat emanating from the crystal.
Ø A sudden burst of energy that may feel like an electric charge.
Ø Tingling in your fingers.
Ø A pulsing or vibration.
Ø An inner knowledge.
Ø A feeling of balance and wholeness.
Ø A wave of heat permeating your body.
Ø Warmth in your heart.
Ø An overwhelming sensation of love.
Ø Colours surrounding the crystal.
Ø Cold energy.
Ø A flash of light from the crystal.
Ø A moistness in your hands.
Ø The crystal apparently 'jumping out' at you and falling at your feet.
Ø A sudden rush of excitement.
Ø A protective feeling
Ø Shivers down your spine.
Ø A light-headed sensation.
Ø A sound in your ears.
Ø Changes in your breathing.
Ø The knowledge you just have to do it!
Ø It just puts a smile on your face!

February has been quite a month for us in New England. Record-setting snow and persistent cold has got us all dreaming about spring.
While we're waiting for rising temps and lengthening days to thaw our saddles and finally beat back this historic winter, it's a good time to begin planning our season's riding adventures. We hope you've got the 2015 Berkshires to Boston Tour on your ride schedule for this year.
If so, you'll want to mark your calendar and set your alarm for 8AM this coming Sunday, March 1. Registration for the September Berkshires to Boston Bicycle Tour opens that morning. To register, follow this link
or go to our Sign Me Up page on the tour website. Don't be left out in the cold when others are spinning across Massachusetts next fall.
Remember, the registration page will go live at 8:00 AM on Sunday, March 1st.
2015 Tour Jersey
We're excited to introduce our 2015 tour jersey. This year, the jersey features the Round Stone Barn at Hancock Shaker Village.
Constructed in 1826, it's the only circular barn ever built by the Shakers. Widely recognized as an architectural icon and agricultural wonder, this unique dairy barn originally stabled 52 milk cows and has been attracting visitors since its construction. It's said that Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, staged a footrace in the structure. You'll be able to view the barn from our campsite at the village and your registration includes full access to explore the barn and the Hancock Shaker Village grounds on Wednesday before the tour.
Once again, we'll be challenging riders in the "Picture Yourself Here" contest. Riders who submit a picture of themselves wearing the 2015 jersey in the location that inspired it will be entered into a drawing to receive free registration in the 2016 tour.
We're excited about our new partnership with Massachuetts-based VOmax to produce this jersey. From inspiration to design to production, its all here in Massachusetts. The 2015 jerseys are available for purchase through our website "Tour Gear"page and as part of your 2015 registration. Get yours and ride with a bit of Massachusetts history in your kit.
Along the Way
You just never know what you'll discover as you travel the tour route across Massachusetts. While riding through Ashfield on my bike last fall I came upon John Peitso composing a tune as he walked along the Route 116 Scenic Byway.
John is the Technical Director and Music Director at the Charlestown Working Theater and a long-term collaborator for the Double Edge Theater in Ashfield.
John was working though a tune for an upcoming performance and adding a little cultural charm to the always scenic landscape.
Double Edge Theater is a cauldron of creativity in Western MA. They produce indoor and outdoor performances, offer training for actors and support for local communities by training area students and promoting local business through their Rural Initiative. The relationship between Double Edge and western Franklin County embodies the idea that good art makes thriving communities.
We believe that good cycling also makes thriving communities. Massachusetts is rich in creativity, scenery, art and surprisingly great bicycling.
Rider News
There's a rumor that John Stewart is leaving The Daily Show later this year just so that he can ride in the Berkshires to Boston Tour. We don't know if that's true; but, of course, we'd love to have John along for the ride. (We wish he'd just take the time off from the show though.)
We have heard from quite a few of our past riders who will be returning for this classic autumn event. And, activity on the website suggests that we'll be hosting a number of first time riders as well. We know of a few Oregonians who will be rising early Sunday morning to make sure they get in. Conversely, there's a couple of English riders who will be waiting til after lunch to sign up. Whatever time zone you're in, don't wait too long to register.
Finally, we want to encourage you to support your local businesses during these challenging times. If you're from just about anywhere in New England, this year's long stretch of frigid and snowy weather has had a major impact on the regional economy and that includes your local restaurants and shops. It's estimated that Massachusetts alone has lost more than $1 billion through lost sales and productivity in the last two months. Treat yourself to a night out with family and friends to celebrate your resilience and fortitude. Go to your local bike shop or other store and pick up some harbinger o spring riding and warmer weather. It will help you close out these final frigid days and will mean a lot to your local business.

How do higher-education institutions ensure best practice when delivering careers services to tomorrow's students and employers, while keeping up with the ever-changing world of work? These and many other questions were posed at the Global Careers Service Summit in the UK where 100 careers service leaders from 14 countries representing five continents gathered from 13 to 15 March. The event was co-organised by UCT Careers Service, headed by director David Casey.
A special Summer School lecture series gave learners from UCT's Schools Improvement Initiative's (SII) 100UP programme a taste of campus life – and the experience of learning simply for the joy of knowledge.
The Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CILT) project, ROER4D (Research on Open Educational Resources for Development) is the focus of a special report in University World News.
Read the report.
CHED's mission is to promote equity of access, effectiveness of teaching and learning, and the enhancement of curriculum, with the aim of improving student success and developing UCT graduates who are locally relevant, socially responsive, globally competitive and representative of South Africa's diverse population. Headed by the Dean of Higher Education Development, CHED's organisational structure consists of a Dean's Office and six departments: • Academic Development Programme
• Careers Service • Centre for Educational Testing for Access and Placement • Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching • Centre for Extra-Mural Studies • UCT School of Design Thinking (d-school).
CHED aspires to be a significant contributor to innovative educational development, practice and scholarship in teaching and learning, in order to champion and advance social justice and transformation within CHED, UCT, the higher education sector and the broader society.
CHED's values reflect an aspiration to put students at the centre of all that we do, realised through the foundational principles of transformation and collaboration. Key values are:
CHED's mission and vision are reflected in a wide range of services which recognize two important realities about UCT's students: Firstly, they are amazing, being some of the most talented and academically capable students in the country and from across the continent. Secondly, many of these very same students arrive at UCT, against great odds given the ongoing legacy of unequal provision of education. By providing 'enabling pathways' for students to flourish and contribute to UCT's excellence, CHED realises its commitment to social justice and transformation that underpins all its work.

Inside the gate to the entrance of Concrete Couch sits a trampoline. Plaited bicycle inner tubes hand-tied to a frame comprise the jumping surface, and the worn dirt around it speaks to heavy use. This is the kind of fun project many people would love to create, but don't know how to begin.
Enter the Second Saturday Skillshare (SSSkillshare) at Concrete Couch. SSSkillshare events have been going on for about two years, according to Ruthie Markwardt, the organization's community coordinator.
"The idea is to create a space to learn skills in the arts, construction, sustainability, and more," says Markwardt. "Any skill people might have, if they're willing to share, we'll provide a space for it."
SSSkillshare is one of a few such programs around the region — the Manitou Art Center hosts a weekly version. These free programs have helped people learn a broad and eclectic range of crafting methods.
"It can be really burly stuff like welding, or more decorative, like stained glass," explains Markwardt. "Our youngest presenter was a 7-year-old who taught folks how to make Sculpey superhero dolls."
Attendance has steadily increased over the program's run, from about 20 participants each month to 40. Skills shared include various forms of visual art, construction, cooking, sustainability and gardening. May's SSSkillshare participants learned how to repair and maintain bikes, and how to make art from bike parts.
For those unfamiliar, Concrete Couch is a 501(c)3 arts organization (housed in an Independent-owned building) dedicated to bringing people together to create art, build community and garden a little.
"Building community through creative projects, fixing it up and beautifying it makes the community a lot more fun and gives it personality," says Markwardt.
Along the way, she says people find out a little about themselves. "We like to show people who might not consider themselves designers or constructors that they do have those skills."

Tension prevailed in the area after DYFI and RSS activists clashed each other the other day over the pasting of campaign materials of the DYFI on a wall at Valachal junction.

child abuse - cause of abuse - presumption
In re: D.T. - Commonwealth Court - May 9, 2006
Request to expunge indicated report of child abuse denied.
Appellant was the paramour of the mother of an 18 month-old child who suffered 2nd degree burns on both feet, which a doctor testified were "typical immersion scald burns." The evidence showed that at the time of his injury, the child was either in the custody of his mother or her paramour, but there was no "independent substantial competent evidence" that appellant was the person that caused the burns."
The court approved DPW's reliance on 23 Pa. C.S. 6381(d) [prima facie evidence of abuse], which provides that "[e]vidence that a child has suffered child abuse of such a nature as would ordinarily not be sustained or exist except by reason of the acts or omissions of the parent or other person responsible for the welfare of the child shall be prima facie evidence of child abuse by the parents or other person responsible for the welfare of the child."
Citing the decision of In the Interest of J.R.W., 631 A.2d 1019 (Pa. Super. 1993), the court held that while the "existence of child abuse" had to be proven by clear and convincing evidence, proof of "the identity of the perpetrator of that abuse....need only be established by prima facie evidence that the abuse normally would not have occurred except by reason of acts or omissions of the caretakers...." (emphasis in original)
The "presumption can be rebutted, like other statutory presumptions, with countervailing competent, substantial evidence," which did not exist here. Appellant's testimony was found not credible, in part because he lied about not having a prior criminal record.

There's going to be so much this year coming up in terms of technology and in terms of phones that's also going to be a major step forward and in 2015 there's going to be a ton to choose from. So let's talk about the top smartphones that we all are looking forward to in
Google Nexus 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Which One to Buy
The war has begun between the two smartphone giants with their future proof smartphones – Google Nexus 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Many people will agree to the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is arguably the best of the best when it comes to phablets. It has the rich set of tools
Google Nexus 6 Review: A Future Proof Phone
This year's Nexus smartphone is much more different than the last year's Nexus 5. That's because of Nexus 6 which is being manufactured by Motorola this time is a more premium offering.

Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by Yyhhggtt, Oct 10, 2009.
Just as my title says. Any way?
Nope. There is no way to "convert" a Gameshark code. You need an USBgecko and Wiird, and scan the Wii's memory to find codes yourself, or just wait until someone makes codes for the game.
Didn't they cancel production on USBGecko's??
Memory addresses would be drastically different so GameShark codes can't be posted.

Solvent Recovery Unit ASC-150 without change of thermal oil
OFRU Recycling from Babenhausen/Germany introduces a new solvent recovery equipment to the market.
The recycling unit ASC-150 fulfills all strict European safety rules like ATEX and consist like large models of a integrated steam heating system. The advantages against a conventional thermal oil heating are fast heating up of the dirty solvents and a high distillation speed with a compact machine design. Large distillation boilers, are no longer necessary due to the innovative heating method and construction. Further the annual and cost intensive change of thermal oil is void. For the operation of the independent steam heating system only 400 Volt are necessary.
The distillation vessel offers a conical bottom for unproblematic emptying the slurry and/or distillation residues. For an effective cleaning of the inner vessel walls modern scrapers are installed. These scrapers always optimally fit on the wall and do not have to be adjusted any more while wear. A continuous filling system (autofill) for 24hr-operation and a powerful vacuum unit belongs to the basic equipment.
The compact is 2m high ASC-150 is laid out for approx. 200-600 l/day solvents. The installation and start-up can be done easily by the operator itself.

In that post, I relayed one fan theory: Harrison Wells is Zolomon, AKA the future villain Zoom, who can travel through time. In the comics, Zolomon is crippled by Gorilla Grodd, a hyper-intelligent, telekinetic gorilla. It's this event that eventually transforms Zolomon into Zoom and destroys his friendship with The Flash. In this week's episode of The Flash, we either got confirmation of this theory, or it was totally blown out of the water. I genuinely have no idea.
In the final moments of the episode, we have our first real glimpse of Gorilla Grodd. In a flashback, we see General Wade Eiling and Wells arguing over Grodd, who seems to be a test subject of some sort. General Eiling wants to take Grodd away, but Wells won't allow it, saying that he has "a whole other future" planned for him. Does that mean other plans like…turning him into an evil nemesis of The Flash? Or is he only trying to protect Grodd from more cruel experiments? Hmm.
Now, this is a really different version of Grodd than what we know from the comics. For starters, in the comic canon, Grodd is given his powers by an alien attack or a radioactive meteor, depending on what universe you're reading. The point is, he's not a test subject of S.T.A.R. Labs or a creation of any scientist. They're obviously taking a different route here, but I think that makes sense. There are some things that just won't translate well to the screen, and I think the telekinetic king of an African gorilla colony might be one of them.
So, Grodd is locked up in S.T.A.R. Labs and he's under Harrison Wells' control – or at least, he was. In the pilot of The Flash, we had a very quick glimpse of an empty cage, with the nameplate GRODD dangling from the bars. Grodd is free – but did he survive? Did he escape during the explosion or did Wells set him free? And does this fit in with Wells' (fake) wheelchair status?
So many questions! What do you think? Are you looking forward to a mind-controlling CGI gorilla on The Flash? I think I kinda am.

Should women be allowed to vote?
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|7 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|5,111 times
|Debate No:
I think my opponent should hold the burden of proof in this debate as he is opting for a change, and thus needs to prove why we need this change.
As my opponent has requested I go first, here goes.
I will start by giving six simple reasons on why woman should continue to be able to vote. In the next round I will add to my arguments while refuting cons
(1) It is a woman's right as a human being to be aloud to vote.
Why are woman so inferior to men that they should not be able to have their say on who runs the country? It is their right just as it is a man's right.
(2) A few centuries ago woman did not get involved in politics. But now their are many females who have high positions in government. Sarah Palin just ran for vice president.
So why should woman not be aloud to vote anymore after getting more and more rights in society?
(3) Sexism:
Other countries would view America as sexist and unfair, and thus America's image as a fair and freedom suporting nation would be hurt.
(4) The feminists would go on the rampage and never allow it to even happen.
(5) Woman aren't stupid and shouldn't be treated so.
(6) If a woman doesn't care about politics, it is likely she won't vote any way. And if she does vote she would probably just be voting for whoever her husband supports.
I await cons response.
(1) They do not have any right at all. The country was running just fine back in the 18th and 19th centuries when women couldn't vote. Also, it says in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. It doesn't even mention one word about women.
(2) You're right, Sarah Palin did just run for vice president....and she got demolished. How many women have been president of the U.S.? Exactly!
(3) Why should we care what other countries think?
(4) Men are easily stronger and smarter so therefore we would put a stop to the rampage very quick like.
(5) I need some proof on this one.
(6) Exactly! Her husband needs to tell her who to vote for. That's the only way she would ever even know anything about what goes on outside of the kitchen.
I await pros response.
By not contending my statements that he had the BOP con has accepted it.
Cons first argument is that I, making a simple spelling mistake, have helped prove his point as I am a woman and therefore don't know how to spell.
They have many rights. How do they have no rights at all? There are actually few rights men have that woman do not have.
Where is the proof that the country would be running just fine if woman could not vote? And where's the proof that the country has not been running fine since woman have been allowed to vote. Con has not upheld his burden of proof.
///it says in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. It doesn't even mention one word about women.//
Sexist and pointless.
///You're right, Sarah Palin did just run for vice president....and she got demolished. How many women have been president of the U.S.? Exactly!///
Judging by this statement I assume my opponent is not conservative. So let me point out two liberals Hilary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. There are also plenty of others.
//(3) Why should we care what other countries think?//
Uh...do I really have to answer that?
Because we call ourselves the land of the free. Because we are considered by many as the most powerful country on earth. Because we don't want to give our enemies reasons to criticize us and make us look bad. Because we need to maintain a good image.
So my opponent is saying since men are stronger and smarter this wouldn't matter. Saying that men are stronger is implying my opponent says we should use brute force if this were to happen. It is a human beings right to protest.
After stating this I think it is safe to say my opponent is sexist. And I refuse his ridiculous request to provide evidence that woman are not stupid. On the other hand why don't I just point out that the top debater on the leader board for this site is a woman. Therefore proving that woman are not stupid.
///(6) Exactly! Her husband needs to tell her who to vote for. That's the only way she would ever even know anything about what goes on outside of the kitchen.///
My opponent, it seems is of the opinion that woman are stupid. He does not however give any evidence what so ever to prove this. My opponent has the BOP but does not uphold it.
My opponent has done nothing but make feeble attempts to refute my claims. In the last round I declared that he had the BOP and by not contending that statement, he has excepted it. Therefore refuting my claims is not nearly enough for con to win this debate as he has the BOP, thus I ask you to vote pro.
skid-marksteve forfeited this round.
Extend argument
As my opponent has not upheld his burden of proof; vote pro.
And you had the BOP.

HA, great name!
I have been sitting on this for a while, but now it's okay to post. My good friend, Ross Harper, is opening a brewery just south of Film Row. As of yesterday, he signed the lease at 704 W Reno Ave. According to the current renderings, he will have the largest beer garden in Oklahoma City.
I will have more updates as things develop.
HA, great name!
Wow, west downtown is getting an amazing amount of investment!
That's a great location with the surrounding area most likely being the next boom area.
New brewery coming to Film Row area
West downtown continues it's hot streak.
Angry Scotsman Brewing has signed a lease to create a brewery, taproom and beer garden at 704 W. Reno.
The 5,000 square foot building was built in 1930 but has been vacant for some time.
Plans call for the land immediately east of the structure – with nice of views of the skyline – to be a 5,000 square foot patio with shade structures and plenty of seating.
The new Oklahoma City Boulevard, which will follow the footprint of the recently relocated I-40, is directly south and will be starting construction this summer.
Owner Ross Harper has been a passionate home brewer since 2005 and after leaving Oklahoma for a job in Indianapolis, continued to follow the changing Oklahoma liquor laws and decided it was the right time to return and 'go pro' with his own brewery.
Harper is originally from Glasgow, Scotland and first came to Oklahoma for a start-up opportunity after finishing his PhD in chemistry in Miami, Florida.
Hoping to have broad appeal, Angry Scotsman will feature 4 beers year round and have more seasonal varieties.
Harper has executed a lease on the property and will take possession on July 1st, and plans to start renovation and general work after all the necessary permits are obtained.
Angry Scotsman will joining a suddenly thriving downtown brewery scene, with Anthem and Twisted Spike already open and Stonecloud, Elk Valley and Prairie all in process.
This is great, but is it a stretch to call this film row still? Not that I have a better name...
It's why I called it the Film Row 'area'.
BTW, this seems to be the first new business that has been motivated by the coming boulevard.
Certainly won't be the last, as that entire corridor effectively turned its back on where the boulevard will run, because the old I-40 was elevated.
In the shorter term, will make for a pretty ugly drive through the new stretch but I'm sure lots of places will re-orient to face the new street.
How high of ceilings does a brewery typically need for the big beer making thingys?

When it premiered in 1913, The Rite of Spring created one of ballet's greatest theatrical sensations. Featuring the choreography of Vaslav Nijinsky and the celebrated music of Igor Stravinsky, the ballet is today regarded as one modernism's great breakthrough events.

Its sad really when a company fails to learn to keep their security of sensitive data protected and when they got hit hard for the second time this month alone (1) when this isn't the first or second time this has happened. A few years ago sony's marketplace was hacked which prompted users to reset its data. The movie "The Interview" being taken down from theaters to be assumed that North Korea is behind or supporting groups are taking part in cyber terrorism in order to take the movie down.
But my main issue is that a japanese technology company sony… a roughly 129 Billion USD (2) total assets company should be able to keep their online security under raps. Its one thing that a small website with little or no protection gets taken down but a large and critical website constantly raped because the home security system was a baseball bat, there is no excuse for this… they had time and money to hire advisors on getting their system in place. Executives required to understand the importance of passwords and cyber security. I really like the playstation and hell I grew up with it but when a company gets ignorant on their ability to keep important data safe it makes me wonder how much longer will they will last.
Now (3) on the side of "The Interview" which is the cause of this attack to sony, which 2 comedy interviewers goto north korea (by the CIA) to assassinate the dictator Kim Jong Un which anyone's leader being killed in a movie is going to have distaste for the ones that make and are starring in the movie. So this attack isn't a surprise as once the movie was still being firmed there was backlash from military commanders of North Korea.
Honestly, Sony is a fool for not being prepared. If they don't get their act together… I believe that they will rot away.

Other travellers opinions can serve you
- Our hotel room was excellent, and very sympathetic the proximity of castle. So we loved it, and I suggest to you, because you won't be disappointed.
- Enjoy the breath-taking views from this hotel. The services, the staff are amazing, I'll be come back on my next trip.
- The hotel is located on the "Rosehill" of Eger. It's in a flowery suburban area. Service is the most polite. Breakfast plentiful with the best homemade jam ever. I'd recommend it to anyone travelling in the neighbourhood.
- Panorama Hotel is a pretty, clean and confortable place to stay. We had two rooms on the first floor with a lovely roof terrace attached. Service was friendly. Breakfast tasty and the price more than reasonable. It's not exactly in a central location. However taxis for the steep way uphill are easy to find in the centre and are inexpensive.
Further opinions in the topics what will be useful to read for you
- The pension consists of two different buildings, neither bigger than a residential house really, on a curvy street in a leafy neighbourhood. The main house is definitely the place to go for, as it has an amazing, storied garden that the owners of the place have spent a decade or two cultivating. It's beautiful, elegant and with a number of hidden corners where you can sit and relax if you'd like. It also has a nice, old world salon where breakfast is served, and a number of tastefully furnished, cosy rooms.
- I love this place. The best stay during our Hungary trip. The room was beautiful. The view is astonishing, the service professional and friendly. Charlie who is the owner is a sweetheart. The castle is around 5 minutes walk. The city center is no more than 10 minutes. I warmly recommend it!
- This hotel really surprised us! Nice, big room, delicous breakfast, very informative and friendly staff, excellent location. It was just so perfect.
No wonder these good reviews
- This small hotel really has a lot going for it. The location is super – one short black to the main square and a short walk to the tourist attractions of Eger. I think Great Location, good breakfast, adequate rooms.
- I booked this hotel for our family holiday – me, my wife and our two kids. We were satisfied with the offer of the hotel – its offer for families with children, meaningfulness of various little things in the hotel room.
Stayed here for one night and for sure I would recommend it. The room was big, with stylish old furniture. Very good varied breakfast. Staff was very professional, customer oriented, but also friendly. This nice and clean hotel located in a quiet neighborhood on the hillside of the town might be just what you are looking for when visiting Eger.
Finally my travel trip to you 🙂 Don't forget take a visit to the castle because it's close and a great recreation for you and whole family. In my related post I already talked to you about the history of Castle of Eger. It seems lately the hotel is very busy, so you should try your hotel room booking as soon as possible. Do not worry if the hotel is saturated, there are alternatives in Eger 🙂 After your trip please share your personally opinion with me and my blog's community 🙂

The powerhouse partnership of writers/directors/producers/editors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger produced many influential, visual lush, and emotionally raw films including The Red Shoes and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Among some of their most famous films is Black Narcissus, the religious drama focuses on a convent of young, isolated, and self regulated nuns. Based on Rumer Godden's novel of the same name, much of the dialogue is lifted verbatim from the pages of the book.
A group of sisters are dispatched unwilling to the Himalayas and tasked with opening a school and hospital for the indigenous, skeptical villagers. The chaste sisters are given an empty and decaying seraglio to convert, but far from being palatial the living quarters are sequestered high atop the mountains and surrounded by barren soils. Slowly the sisters' beautiful surroundings begin to suffocate them as they face death, ostracization, paranoia, hunger, sexual temptation, and insanity.
Not a typical religious film, especially for the 1940's, with its underlying themes of overbearing oppression and female repression. Black Narcissus does not fit the typical postwar family friendly mold; but it does capture the lingering American fear of fascist authoritarianism, cultural otherness, and foreign isolationism. When planning production for Colonel Blimp, Pressburger wrote actress Wendy Hiller in an attempt to talk her into signing onto the film (she was initially cast before becoming pregnant, which led her to drop out and Black Narcissus star Deborah Kerr to be signed instead). In the letter, he outlines his production company's, Archer Productions, 5 point approach to filmmaking which served as a blueprint for all of their films to come.
"1. We owe allegiance to nobody except the financial interests which provide our money; and, to them, the sole responsibility of ensuring them a profit, not a loss.
2. Every single foot in our films is our own responsibility and nobody else's. We refuse to be guided or coerced by any influence but our own judgement.
3. When we start work on a new idea we must be a year ahead, not only of our competitors, but also of the times. A real film, from idea to universal release, takes a year. Or more.
4. No artist believes in escapism. And we secretly believe that no audience does. We have proved, at any rate, that they will pay to see the truth, for other reasons than her nakedness.
5. At any time, and particularly at the present, the self-respect of all collaborators, from star to propman, is sustained, or diminished, by the theme and purpose of the film they are working on."
This philosophy explains their signature fantastical take on the darkest human conditions and trials. It also is what truly separated them from the get-it-done-yesterday, sloppy, money-centric approach to movies that Hollywood had adopted between the 1930's and mid 1950's. Powell and Pressburger are masters at revealing the dark underbelly of what we initially find so tempting and attractive, and this achieved this no better than with Black Narcissus. Most films begin in a period of stasis before encountering conflict and ultimately finding a (usually) happy resolution. Powell and Pressburger began their films in states of happiness and possibility before whittling away at their character's opportunities the way life often does, presenting them with difficult choices that had no real right answer. Their endings were often sullen, ambiguous, and contemplative. In Black Narcissus admiration becomes jealousy, infatuation becomes lust, indifference becomes violence, the exotic becomes the foreign, the unfamiliar becomes the enemy, and the peace becomes the isolation with death being the only real means of escape.
Black Narcissus went on to win to the Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. CInematographer Jack Cardiff was the subject of Painting with Light, a documentary featuring cast and crew discussing Cardiff's mastery of moving photography and theatrical lighting. The film has been preserved and restored. It is available on The Criterion Collection on DVD and is available in full online.

Re: Margaret Aksamit - 04/06/99 - England
I am beginning research on Wajcih Anna Aksamit who came to the US in the early 1900's.(Anna married Albert Mikula in 1911 and eventually settled in Ladysmith, WI.)Her mother was Cecylia Kotarba, father's first name unknown.Siblings were Victoria, Dennis, Mitchell, Joseph and Francis.Cecylia remarried to Michel Kozak and they had 2 children, Brunswana and Maria.They were probably from the Kasinka Mala area.Could any of these be connected to your Aksamits?

Dealing With and Treating Anxiety Safely
Everybody feels anxious from time to time. Life tosses us a curveball and we stress out about it. For people who suffer from Anxiety (note the capital A), however, "feeling a little stressed out" would be a welcome relief. Anxiety is different and more intense than the average person's anxious feelings.

North Loop and Upper South Loop is a 3.5 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Port Byron, Illinois that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until November. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Great, well maintained trail. Moderate trail. But quiet and shady. One way trails, and lots of mountain bikers. All friendly. Great day to hike.
Note: Bug repellent.
I really enjoyed this hike, but important things to know:
- There are specific directions to walk on M,W,F, Su and Tu, Th, Sa so pay attention to the signs to make sure you are going the right direction.
- If you take the southern trail, there is a hike in and hike out trail in the middle of the main trail. You have to take the 1 way only to get out otherwise you will be looping over and over again.
Nice little trail(s). If you just want to do the scenic overlook, that's about a 1 mile loop from the North side of the parking lot. The other trail to the South is good (about 2.4 miles) but does not have a river overlook. These trails are a favorite of fat-tire mountain bikes.
Perfect for my two year old, my dog and I to go on a walk/hike!
Cynthia E.
Could use better directions. The app map doesn't appear accurate. Otherwise it's a beautiful trail.
There is actually about 5.5 miles of actual trails well maintained for bicycle racing. Lost of other trails just from so much traffic. Good slight elevation changes and nice overlook of the Mighty Mississippi.
Nice hike. The trails are well maintained for bikes, but due to muddy conditions, no bikes on the day we hiked.
It's not flat. Lots of gentle changes in elevation without being too difficult. Trails are well packed so you don't get muddy. There are some good views over the river as well.

Right now while Baby A is having a nap I'm busy getting some art print orders ready. (Remember - everything has FREE worldwide shipping at ArtByJaz.com at the moment, including original paintings). Although I don't mind packing orders, I really would rather be painting.
At the moment I'm working on a "Little Red Riding Hood" themed piece. I've only just started by blocking some colour into the background and working out where I want things in the painting.
and when I'm taking breaks from that, I've been working on some smaller "mini paintings" that I've been putting up for auction in my eBay store. At the moment I have one called "She Happened Upon a Frog" up for auction starting at $1 HERE.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback on my "To Do List"! :) I'm so glad you have found it useful. Some days I print it out '2 to a page' - so you get 2 days out of one A4 piece of paper, and there's still plenty of room. If you haven't got it yet, you can print it out for free HERE.
That head cold that was hanging around last week seems to be almost gone now. Phew! Time to get some orders ready while I've got a quiet house...
