Hướng dân overriding default templates trong Drupal 8
In this post, you will learn how to theme Drupal 8 views by overriding default views templates and use our own markup to build an accordion (based on bootstrap 3 accordion). We will begin by identifying a custom theme for our newly installed Drupal 8 site and add bootstrap 3 css and javascript files.
>> Docker làm virtualization cho Project Development và Testing trong Drupal
>> Những lý do tại sao sử dụng Panels trong Drupal CMS
This is all we need to create a new theme.
Then we will create a new view from "admin/structure/views/add" to show latest added articles.
- View basic information: We will name our view "Articles Accordion" (machine name: "articles_accordion").
- View settings: Choose (Show: Content), (of type: Article) and (sorted by: Newly first).
- Page settings: Check "Create a page" and set "Page title" and "Path" to your liking. Under "Page display settings" choose (Display format: Unformatted list), (of: fields).
- Click "Save and edit"
Here is a screenshot for our view initial settings:
After saving the view we will click on "Content: Title" and uncheck "Link to the Content", then add the "Body" field.
Here is a screenshot for the view final settings:
Understanding Views Templates
Views default templates are located under "/core/modules/views/templates/" folder.
Each view uses minimum of two templates:
- The first template is "views-view.html.twig". This template is used for all views and contains the layout for the view. (view content, header, footer, exposed form and attachments)
The second template is the style template. The default used template will vary based on the applied view style (grid, table, html list or unformatted).
- Grid: views-view-grid.html.twig
- Table: views-view-table.html.twig
- HTML List: views-view-list.html.twig
- Unformatted: views-view-unformatted.html.twig
- The third template is "views-view-fields.html.twig". This template is used only if the view row style is set to "Fields". This template is responsible for looping through available fields and print fields wrappers, labels and markup.
- The fourth template is "views-view-field.html.twig". This template is used only if the view row style is set to "Fields". This is the last template and is responsible for printing each field markup.
Naming Views Templates
Each type of the view templates above can be overridden with a variety of names. The template name is a concatenation of (base template name, view machine name, view display type and view display id - separated by 2 hyphens "--").
The following are the possible template names sorted by precedence:
- [base template name]--[view machine name]--[view display id].html.twig
- [base template name]--[view machine name]--[view display type].html.twig
- [base template name]--[view display type].html.twig
- [base template name]--[view machine name].html.twig
- [base template name].html.twig
For example; If we want to override "views-view.html.twig" template for our view, the following template names are valid:
- [base template name]--[view machine name].html.twig
- views-view--articles-accordion--page.html.twig
- views-view--page.html.twig
- views-view--articles-accordion.html.twig
- views-view.html.twig
Building Our Bootstrap Accordion
To build our version of bootstrap accordion, we will need to override "views-view-unformatted.html.twig" (because this is the style in use) and "views-view-fields.html.twig".
The easiest way to get started is to copy the templates from /core/modules/views/templates folder into our theme folder and then rename "views-view-unformatted.html.twig" to "views-view-unformatted--articles-accordion--page-1.html.twig" and "views-view-fields.html.twig" to "views-view-fields--articles-accordion--page.html.twig"

 {% for row in rows %} {% set row_classes = [ default_row_class ? 'views-row', 'panel', 'panel-default', ] %}
 {{ row.content }}
 {% endfor %}

  {{ fields.title.content }}

 {{ fields.body.content }}

This is how how our accordion looks like.

This is a perfect scrub to me, its very relaxing because the scent is gorgeous and the oil feels luxurious but not overwhelming. The scrub itself works well and doesn't dissolve right away. I like to let it sit on my skin to allow the charcoal to work its detoxifying magic. Will definitely buy again.

Charcoal Konjac SpongeBody, Skincare, Tools
WHY WE LOVE ITBamboo Charcoal infused Konjac sponge cleanses and exfoliates to deliver smoother, softer, brighter-looking skin while minimizing the appearance of pores and eradicating blemish-causing bacteria. Formulated for combination to oily skin, the konjac root absorbs debris and impurities, while the bamboo charcoal acts as a natural anitbacterial agent, to cleanse deeply and detoxify pores without irritation. Gentle enough for even the most sensitive of skin types, it can be used over the face, neck, and even the delicate undereye area. When used regularly, it helps draw out impurities, minimize the appearance of pores, and reduce blemish-causing bacteria. Let your skin be nurtured and coddled clean with this gentle, cute little guy!
WHAT'S IN ITKonjac is actually a pure natural sea vegetable, sort of like a potato. Pink clay is a mix of red and white clay and is said to improve blood circulation, hydration, elasticity and softness. Rich in trace elements, pink clay purifies the skin like other clays, but much more gently.
HOW TO USE :Use to cleanse skin anytime. Hydrate konjac sponge in a bowl of water, once soft, gently wring out. Using circular motions, massage face, using narrow edges for hard to reach nose and eye areas. Rinse thoroughly, hang to dry and store. Just a gentle reminder. Tips: Can be used alone or with your favorite cleanser. Great for cleansing when skin is feeling extra dry or sensitive. Use cleansing sponge with warm water in the winter or cool water in the summer for a seasonal solution. Replace every 2-3 months.

Some cats love cuddles but this kitten loves nothing more than a tight squeeze.
Her ability to get in and out of seemingly impossible situations harks back to the comedy capers seen in classic kids' cartoon Tom & Jerry.
The excitable female kitten, named Ksyusha, has been squashing itself into enclosed spaces since it was a few weeks old, says her owner Yuriy Korotun.

Police are carrying out enquiries following a distress call to the Coastguard which is now understood to have been a hoax.
The mayday radio message was made during the afternoon of Monday, 18 June, and led to a major rescue operation in the Moray Firth.
A further two malicious calls are also believed to have been made to the Coastguard in April 2018 and November 2017 and have now been reported to police.
All the calls are understood to have been made from the North Aberdeenshire area.
Detective Sergeant Rhona Di Meola said: "Any distress call made to the emergency services will be taken seriously and these calls have led to the intensive use of time and resources by the Coastguard and other emergency services.
"Any report of a hoax call will be thoroughly investigated. Every false or inappropriate call takes up the precious time of the Coastguard and other emergency services and prevents someone who really needs immediate help from getting it.
"We would ask that anyone with information gets in touch with police on 101 using reference number 1402 of 18 June. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Part of an encampment still remains in the moor of Kinmuck, where tradition records that a great battle took place between the Danes and the Scotch. The latter are said to have slain a boar in their advance, and hence the name of Kinmuck, or boar's head. The place of combat bears the name of Blair Hussey, or field of blood. In a large barrow or tumulus, about eighty yards from a Druidic stone, a chance visitor observed an urn partially uncovered. It was found to contain calcined bones. Two larger urns were subsequently found in a reversed position to the other, and were taken out in fragments. The bones in all three were put into a box, and buried in the original spot.
It is remarkable that the corn grows very luxuriant around this solitary pillar to a distance of fifteen yards, and has always been eighteen inches higher than the crop immediately beside it.

Over the last two months I've just about done a complete disappearing act from this online space. While the blog may have been a little quiet, the good news is rather than tapping at the keyboard thirty minutes a night I've been hitting the gym.
January 4 this photo graced InstaGram affirming my commitment to this Get Fit journey in 2014. You know what happened after that week of great walks/runs around the neighborhood? We had the worst winter South Carolina has seen in years. I'm talking multiple snow storms!
Staying active and battling a healthy weight is a war that's been waging a big portion of my life. Up until now I've lost battle after battle after battle. Eight weeks into my most successful weight-loss battle we found out we were expecting. And well, that ended with the cute kiddo above.
Since then? I've battled postpartum depression, a kid with chronic ear infections and seeking the balance between working mom, marriage and self-identity. Those are not small hurdles, and ultimately my Get Fit journey lacked motivation considerably.
However, my sister-in-law's upcoming nuptials have my motivation back on track. I look back to so many milestones and have many regrets about my body image. I will not let this milestone come and go without doing something about that body image. And as I prayed over how to find the time to get active, He answered my prayers in the form of a Planet Fitness gym literally four minutes from our house.
Yep, we joined the gym. Something we couldn't fit into our budget before became feasible thanks to such a low monthly rate. I won't lie, it's been tough to carve out the time. It's required a serious change-up in our post-work and school routine, but the important thing is we're making it work.
My big picture goal is a long way off, but completely doable with hard work and healthy food choices. Here's to getting fit in 2014! Are you on a journey to better weight and health this year? I'd love to follow along on your blog or IG - leave me a message or shoot me an email if you're looking for someone to encourage you on your journey - firstname.lastname@example.com or on Instagram @theviewfrom510

"Mission Accomplished"
The Independent
Two years after "Mission Accomplished", whatever moral stature the United States could claim at the end of its invasion of Iraq has long ago been squandered in the torture and abuse and deaths at Abu Ghraib. That the symbol of Saddam Hussein's brutality should have been turned by his own enemies into the symbol of their own brutality is a singularly ironic epitaph for the whole Iraq adventure. We have all been contaminated by the cruelty of the interrogators and the guards and prison commanders.
But this is not only about Abu Ghraib. There are clear and proven connections now between the abuses at Abu Ghraib and the cruelty at the Americans' Bagram prison in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. Curiously, General Janis Karpinski, the only senior US officer facing charges over Abu Ghraib, admitted to me a year earlier when I visited the prison that she had been at Guantanamo Bay, but that at Abu Ghraib she was not permitted to attend interrogations - which seems very odd.
A vast quantity of evidence has now been built up on the system which the Americans have created for mistreating and torturing prisoners. I have interviewed a Palestinian who gave me compelling evidence of anal rape with wooden poles at Bagram - by Americans, not by Afghans.
Many of the stories now coming out of Guantanamo - the sexual humiliation of Muslim prisoners, their shackling to seats in which they defecate and urinate, the use of pornography to make Muslim prisoners feel impure, the female interrogators who wear little clothing (or, in one case, pretended to smear menstrual blood on a prisoner's face) - are increasingly proved true. Iraqis whom I have questioned at great length over many hours, speak with candour of terrifying beatings from military and civilian interrogators, not just in Abu Ghraib but in US bases elsewhere in Iraq.
At the American camp outside Fallujah, prisoners are beaten with full plastic water bottles which break, cutting the skin. At Abu Ghraib, prison dogs have been used to frighten and to bite prisoners.
How did this culture of filth start in America's "war on terror"? The institutionalised injustice which we have witnessed across the world, the vile American "renditions" in which prisoners are freighted to countries where they can be roasted, electrified or, in Uzbekistan, cooked alive in fat? As Bob Herbert wrote in The New York Times, what seemed mind-boggling when the first pictures emerged from Abu Ghraib is now routine, typical of the abuse that has "permeated the Bush administration's operations".
Amnesty, in a chilling 200-page document in October, traced the permeation of Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's memos into the prisoner interrogation system and the weasel-worded authorisation of torture. In August 2002, for example, only a few months after Bush spoke under the "Mission Accomplished" banner, a Pentagon report stated that "in order to respect the President's inherent constitutional authority to manage a military campaign, [the US law prohibiting torture] must be construed as inapplicable to interrogations undertaken pursuant to his Commander- in-Chief authority." What does that mean other than permission from Bush to torture?
A 2004 Pentagon report uses words designed to allow interrogators to use cruelty without fear of court actions: "Even if the defendant knows that severe pain will result from his actions, if causing such harm is not his objective, he lacks the requisite specific intent [to be guilty of torture] even though the defendant did not act in good faith."
The man who directly institutionalised cruel sessions of interrogation in Abu Ghraib was Major-General Geoffrey Miller, the Guantanamo commander who flew to Abu Ghraib to "Gitmo-ize the confinement operation" there. There followed the increased use of painful shackling and the frequent forcible stripping of prisoners. Maj-Gen Miller's report following his visit in 2003 spoke of the need for a detention guard force at Abu Ghraib that "sets the conditions for the successful interrogation and exploitation of the internees/detainees". According to Gen Karpinski, Maj-Gen Miller said the prisoners "are like dogs, and if you allow them to believe they're more than a dog, then you've lost control of them".
The trail of prisons that now lies across Iraq is a shameful symbol not only of our cruelty but of our failure to create the circumstances in which a new Iraq might take shape. You may hold elections and create a government, but when this military sickness is allowed to spread, the whole purpose of democracy is overturned. The "new" Iraq will learn from these interrogation centres how they should treat prisoners and, inevitably, the "new" Iraqis will take over Abu Ghraib and return it to the status it had under Saddam and the whole purpose of the invasion (or at least the official version) will be lost.
With an insurgency growing ever more vicious and uncontrollable, the emptiness of Mr Bush's silly boast is plain. The real mission, it seems, was to institutionalise the cruelty of Western armies, staining us forever with the depravity of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and Bagram - not to mention the secret prisons which even the Red Cross cannot visit and wherein who knows what vileness is conducted. What, I wonder, is our next "mission"?

Mount Cook Scramble from Wedgemount Lake
This is a relatively easy scramble up a logical ascent of Mount Cook. The is the easiest, though still spectacular that has tremendous views of Wedgemount Lake and surrounding mountains from its summit. It is a long and challenging scramble up steep boulder fields along a partly marked, though easy to lose trail.
It's a somewhat popular trail and it is possible to follow a faint trail and some trail markers much of the way from the valley to the crumbly, scree ridge at the base of Cook. From the Wedge Hut, take the trail up past the outhouse (nearest the hut), and a few metres past the outhouse look for a faint trail heading off to the right.
You may lose the trail as some point so take a good look from here. Follow the trail now heading in the general direction of Armchair Glacier, gaining elevation fairly quickly. After about 400 metres you will veer off left and make your way to the base of Cook Mountain, work your way to its far left and once reaching the left edge of ridge you can then follow the spectacular route to the summit of Mount Cook.
Wedgemount Lake in Garibaldi Provincial Park
Due to lingering snow, the Wedgemount Lake trail will be very difficult to hike until mid June(2017). Large sections of snow on the trail will persist well past May. Wedgemount Lake is one of the most spectacular hikes in Garibaldi Provincial Park. Though it is a relentlessly exhausting, steep hike, it is mercifully short at only 7 kilometres (one way). The elevation gain in thatshort distance is over 1200 metres which makes it a much steeper hike than most other Whistler hiking trails. Compared with other Whistler hikes, Wedgemount Lake is half the roundtrip distance of either Black Tusk or Panorama Ridge, for example, at 13.5k and 15k respectively (one way).
Wedgemount Lake itself is a magnificent destination for a day hike or spectacular overnight beneath the dazzling mountain peaks and stars. Many sleep under the stars on one of the many beautiful tent platforms that dot the landscape. Solidly built, wooden tent platforms are everywhere you look at Wedgemount Lake.
Strategically positioned, these platforms manage to maintain an amazingly secluded feel despite their numbers. In all Wedgemount Lake has 20 of these tent areas. Most are wooden, but several down by the lake shore are gravel, yet every bit as nice.
At a fast hiking pace you can reach Wedgemount Lake from the trailhead in just an hour and a half but at a leisurely or backpack laden pace you will likely take over two hours. The trail is well marked and well used. The steepness of the trail doesn't require any technical skill, however that last kilometre before the lake you will be scrambling on all fours quite a bit.
The elevation gain makes a tremendous difference when carrying a heavy backpack and unprepared for the exertion. There is hardly a section of the trail that is not steeply uphill. The first 15 minutes takes you into the deep forest as you run along Wedgemount Creek. This crashing creek can be heard from quite a distance and gives you a hint of the steepness of the trail to come.
The source of Wedgemount Creek is of course Wedgemount Lake which tumbles down almost 300 metres in the spectacular Wedgemount Falls. You will be able to see Wedgemount Falls around the 5 kilometre mark along the trail. It is far off to the right in the distance. Despite the distance, you will hear it loud and clear and some easy to find and get to areas off the trail give amazing views of it.
One of the defining features of Garibaldi Park, and Wedgemount Lake in particular, is the staggering number of branching hikes from the main destination of the lake itself. For many, Wedgemount Lake and the Wedge Hut is the base for hikes to Wedge Mountain, Mount Cook, Mount Weart, Mount Moe, Mount James Turner and Mount Currie in Pemberton, crossing glaciers such as Wedgemount Glacier, Weart Glacier, Armchair Glacier, Mystery Glacier and the Needles and Chaos Glacier to name a few.
Dozens of unforgettable peaks can be reached from this quiet little hut overlooking this perfect, turquoise lake. In short, if you were to design a paradise in the mountains, Wedgemount Lake would be the standard to which all others would pale.
The sheltered valley, beautiful turquoise lake, wonderfully huge glacier across the valley and brutally jagged mountains all around all contribute to making Wedgemount Lake something special. It's challenging and exhausting to hike to and an absolute paradise to relax in. Down by the lakeside you can actually find two recliner chairs, built out of the rocks by the lake. Such a perfect way to enjoy the sun rising over the not-so-distant glacier across the lake.
The hut at Wedgemount Lake is a wonderful thing. Built by the BC Mountaineering Club in 1970, and since donated to Garibaldi Park, it is free to use by anyone, however you still have to pay the overnight camping fee of $10 per person, per night. You can pay online here. It's cozy with two large tables and a loft. Often, during busy times you will find the tables used as beds, a couple on the floor and four people up in the loft. The Wedge Mountain Hut is positioned in a spectacular part of the world.
High up overlooking Wedgemount Lake. In the massive shadow of Wedge Mountain, the highest mountain in the entire Garibaldi Ranges. It's a cozy and compact little house in the middle of the carnage of massive rocks, erratics left over the centuries by glaciers and rock slides.
Back in the late 60's the British Columbia Mountaineering Club went forward with building five huts in the Coast Mountains of BC. Two of the five were built in Garibaldi Park, they were The Russet Lake Hut in 1968 and the Wedgemount Lake Hut in 1970. Because structures like these cannot be owned as they are in BC Parks, they are open for use by anyone. There are two large wooden tables along the left and right walls and a little window across from the door. On entering you notice a ladder going straight up to the loft. Everything is bare, weathered wood, but tidy and secure. It's simply a nice, solid, secure little house in a hostile wasteland of beauty. As you walk in you notice right away a feeling of warmth hits you. The Wedge Hut is as wonderful thing.
Unmarked Scrambling Routes Around Wedgemount Lake
Wedge Mountain is a very difficult scramble from the Wedgemount Lake hut up steep boulder fields, long glacier and the narrowly abrupt ridge to the summit of Wedge. Elevation gain is 1300 metres from the Wedgemount Lake hut! Allow 6 or 7 hours hut to hut and make sure you know what you are doing. Wedge Mountain is a very popular summit to achieve as it is the highest mountain in all of Garibaldi Park and the Garibaldi Ranges. It's quite daunting as to reach it you have to make your way along the spectacular wedge-shaped spine that gives it its name.
The Wedge-Weart Col is possibly the easiest hike from Wedgemount Lake. It is a long scramble through the boulder strewn terrain to the Wedge Glacier, then a long ascent up Wedge Glacier. It is deceptively far so allow 5 hours roundtrip, hut to hut.
Mount Cook is a relatively easy hike from Wedgemount Lake. It is a relatively easy and even partly marked and worn trail leading to a scramble up the logical ascent of Mount Cook. Tremendous views of Wedgemount Lake and surrounding mountains from the summit. It is a long and challenging scramble up steep boulder fields along a partly marked, though easy to lose trail.
Mount Weart is probably the most popular of the branching hikes from Wedgemount Lake. This is because of its extraordinarily beautiful views from its summit. It is quite difficult and some tricky route finding is involved as you leave Wedgemount Glacier for the Weart ascent. But you will have trouble finding more beautiful views from another peak in the area. It is a difficult and long scramble from the Wedgemount Lake Hut and a considerable elevation gain of 780 metres from the Hut. Give yourself at least four hours roundtrip, hut to hut.
Wedgemount Lake - Campsite, Trail & Parking Info
The free parking at the trailhead to Wedgemount Lake, or "Wedge" as it is commonly called is easy to find as there are easy to spot Garibaldi Park signs on the Sea to Sky Highway. Located just a short and scenic, ten minute drive north of Whistler Village. An excellent place to see Wedge Mountain on the way to the Wedgemount trailhead is the Green Lake viewpoint at the edge of Highway 99. Look for the obvious and large pullout on the right side of the Sea to Sky Highway at the far end of Green Lake. The pullout is easy to spot shortly after you lose sight of Green Lake. The views across to Whistler, Blackcomb and Wedge Mountain are amazing. There is also a nice information board indicating what you are looking at. Also, just after the highway turnoff to Wedgemount Lake there is a beautiful picnic area on Green River. Picnic tables, serenity and the hugely crashing Green River make this a great spot to relax before your hike. This is also a superb and free place to camp before and/or after hiking Wedgemount Lake. Beautiful freshwater river and lots of places to put up a tent near the Green River bridge make it an ideal setting. From Whistler Village at Village Gate Boulevard, zero your odometer proceed north on Highway 99. At 11.3km a sign will direct you to turn right to "Wedgemount(Garibaldi)". Cross the train tracks and the bridge over Green River and immediately (11.5k) turn left onto the Wedge Creek Forest Service Road. At 11.7km turn right and head up the bumpy but drivable to all types of cars to the parking lot at 13.2km. In the winter months (December to March) this last portion of road will likely be too deep with snow to drive, so parking here at the 11.7km mark may be as close as you can get. The trailhead parking lot is large and well maintained with an information board and outhouse. Though crime is almost non-existent in Whistler, be sure to secure your vehicle as leaving valuables visible in your car at a hiking trailhead is asking for trouble.
Camping in Garibaldi Park is generally very good and at Wedgemount Lake the facilities are spectacular. There are 20 designated tent spots and each one with a million dollar view of paradise. Half of these spots are located near the Wedge Hut, up along the dramatic scree, boulder and enormous erratic field about 300 metres from Wedgemount Lake. These tent spots are made of beautiful, wooden tent platforms and arranged to maximize both privacy and view. Nestled in alpine trees about 50 metres up the slope from the hut, three wooden tent platforms hide. Closer to the hut, nestled in the massive erratics are three more platforms. The more you explore among the gnarled and dramatically beautiful krummholz, the more perfectly positioned tent platforms you find. Down at the shore of Wedgemount Lake, just across from the foot of the glacier are several wood framed, gravel tent platforms lined majestically along the shore. Strategically positioned to line your tent view directly across the lake to the breathtaking Wedgemount Glacier. The wonderful silence broken only by distant waterfalls and the occasional rock slide from across the lake. The foot of the Wedgemount Glacier is just a short walk away.
Garibaldi Park is home to an ever increasing number of mountain huts. Russet Lake has one, Elfin Lakes has a massive one, Garibaldi Lake has one at the far end of the lake mainly used in the winter. The Spearhead Range that connects Blackcomb and Whistler mountains has a current proposal that may see the construction of several more huts. The Wedgemount Lake hut is free to use and there is no reservation system. It has an upper loft area that could fit four people in a pinch and the main floor has two large tables that are used as beds as well. The hut can comfortably accommodate 6 people, however more can fit if needed. Due to the tent pads being so numerous and beautiful, the Wedge Hut often goes unused. It is of course quite dark inside despite having some small windows and is just equipped with a shovel, broom, logbook and a few odds and ends left by previous hikers. The door locks from both the inside and outside making it secure from rodents, bears, sasquatches and mosquitoes. Due to the Wedgemount Lake trail being so steep, the Wedge Hut allows you to lighten your load by not having to carry a tent if you choose to. Also, in poor weather the hut is a wonderful, dry and secure retreat from the elements. Hikers often hike to Wedgemount Lake without a tent, hoping to sleep under the stars with just a sleeping bag. Relying on the Wedge Hut as just a backup in the event of rain or snow. In the spring and winter months, when Whistler is deep with snow, the Wedge Hut is an indispensable refuge for skiers and snowboarders.
There is an outhouse (toilet), at the trailhead to Wedgemount Lake. Another one a few metres from the Wedge Hut and tent platforms at Wedgemount Lake. And a third, almost hidden toilet down near the lakeside tent platforms. You will spot an unusual looking, plastic box in the scree slope along the trail to the lake. This is a futuristic looking outhouse that is more convenient to the campsites at the lake. All the outhouses in Garibaldi Park are serviced frequently and even equipped with toilet paper, however, bringing your own is always a good idea as it inevitably runs out sometimes. If you are unfamiliar with outhouses, they consist of, (usually) a very small wooden room with a small window for light. Sometimes the outhouse is built above a pit in the ground for waste, but in the case of the Wedgemount Lake outhouse it is raised above a massive waste tank that is routinely replaced by helicopter. They are unavoidably disgusting and fly ridden despite the frequent and heroic efforts of excellent BC Parks staff.
Dogs are not permitted on the Wedgemount Lake trail or any other Garibaldi Provincial Park trails out of courtesy to the resident animals of the park. There are a large number of black bears in the park and encounters with dogs result in unpredictable and potentially dangerous conflicts. There are quite a few excellent hiking trails in Whistler that are dog friendly. Whistler's Valley Trail and Lost Lake Trails are dog friendly and run throughout Whistler. The Sea to Sky Trail, which runs over 30 kilometres through Whistler is a paradise trail for dogs as it runs through numerous parks, beaches and forests. Ancient Cedars is a nice, dog friendly hike that is 5k roundtrip and takes you into a thousand year old forest. Whistler Train Wreck is also dog friendly. The trailhead, marked Flank Trail is located in Function Junction, just a short drive south of Whistler Village. Further south you will come to Brandywine Falls, which is a short, 2k (roundtrip) dog friendly hike to the amazing falls. About 25 minutes north of Whistler, Nairn Falls is another beautiful and dog friendly hiking trails. For a look at some of the best dog friendly hikes in Whistler try here..

Many consultants look for opportunities to work remotely and love the idea of doing so on a team. It gives them a different way to provide service to our clients and keeps their game on point as they will be assigned to a team of peers. There is a built in expectation that they "know their stuff" and can contribute to the end game while holding their professional ego in check. It's a reminder of learning how to play nice in the sandbox while still getting to work on the sand castle!
Consultants selected to work on a business transformation engagement range from organizational strategists, facilitators, program designers, to instructional designers and trainers. Depending on the scope-of-work, we may also include people with a communications background and project managers. Backgrounds in leadership development, diversity, equity and inclusion and culture transformation get our attention.
Project Leads receive resumes of consultants who match their needs for the type of engagements that they will lead. Interviews are then conducted with Project Leads. If selected to move forward, we require you to complete a Gallup's StrengthsFinder assessment to help maximize your experience as a team member. This assessment helps you, your Practice Lead and us, ensure the best fit for performance and project satisfaction. You also be asked to provide samples of your work along with references specific to the work that you'll be doing.
Our business transformation engagements generally last 6 - 9 months. You will likely not be assigned for this entire period unless what you do is required for the entire period. Otherwise, you'll work closely with the Practice Lead to define the project flow upfront and the specific tasks that you'll complete, along with an estimate of the hours that you'll need to complete them.
We like to think that there are many reasons why consultants choose to work with Ashton212. One might be that we're industry agnostic and people-centric. We love working with the smartest and most talented consultants who are part of the demographically diverse, and growing, professional workforce 3.0.
We like to get the paperwork out of the way up front so once you've interviewed, taken the assessment and both parties agree to move forward, you'll receive your onboarding documents. That way when we have the perfect opportunity for you, it's simple to get you on your way.

What gets measured, gets improved.
I'm a huge proponent of goals in certain areas of life, but you don't always need to set specific, stress-you-out-when-you-stumble-a-bit goals to improve your daily habits.
Our minds play tricks on us. When it comes to changing bad habits into better ones, humans are usually convinced that they are doing better than they really are — it is "ostrich syndrome" — most of us stick our heads in the sand, preferring not to face the accurate reality of our daily actions. We always thing we are doing better than we are on the bad habits front.
Change is difficult and changing daily habits is exceptionally so. No matter if you want to eat more portions of healthy fruits and vegetables or reduce the number of alcoholic drinks you have in a week, the best first step is to face your current situation and understand your true baseline reality.
People often make a fatal mistake when they try to change their habits: they over-do it. They set a very difficult goal and take the drastic plunge. Many people go from never going to a gym to a goal of working out five days each week. Others decide to stop eating sweets every night to limiting themselves to one desert every two weeks. Of course many stumble, they become disappointed with their lack of will power, and they fall off the program for months on end.
When it comes to starting a new daily habit, consider not setting specific goals. I suggest keeping a tally count, with a time and date stamp, each time you "do it" or "eat it" and then review your tally weekly.
There are readily available tools that work great for this. On the iPhone, I love a little program called Tallymander (update — this program seems temporarily unavailable for some reason on AppStore — I sent the developer an email (OM)) which allows you to set up any number of tallies, then click it to record when something happens. Not only does the program keep a count but it also makes it simple to email yourself a report in a spreadsheet-ready file that includes the exact date and time you clicked on any tally. Brilliant! Tallymander is a great addition to an optimist's technology arsenal. Of course, a tiny Moleskine booklet, making marks on your calendar, or sending yourself an email are all other efficient ways to keep your accurate log — the trick is that you must have your logging method with you at all times — in my case, my smartphone is omnipresent.
After four weeks of logging, you will notice the extraordinary magic of pale ink and optimistic, conscious thought. By simply keeping an accurate log, most people notice that they in fact start improving week-over-week without making the drastic and often unsustainable goals. The log itself becomes a motivator. The person simply gravitates to beating last week's number by a little bit. This progress is the normal, natural gravity of the conscious mind, a sustainable way to modify one's bad habits for the better, without all the guilt, stress, and frequent failure of "setting super hard goals and then missing them." The disappointment associated with letting oneself down in the hard core goals method is what often torpedoes long-term habit change success.
If you have an iPhone, download Tallymander from the Apple AppStore and start with just one item. If you eat french fries or chips, my suggestion would be track the portions that you eat — we could all afford less of both — I'm 100% sure that four weeks from today, you will eat less of this stuff and your arteries will rejoice, without the pain associated with hard-core goals.
After you focus on your first item for two or three months, your improvement becomes a good habit. Then it is time to change your tally to the next item. If you can substitute four good habits for bad habits each year, it really adds up to serious change for the better, over ten year's time. Most importantly, by using this tally method, your optimism grows with each success.
Logs and tallies simply work better for habit-change than hard-core goals. I personally used this method for reducing "Complaints" last year — I even enlisted my family to help point out whenever I complained a bit and faithfully recorded each event in Tallymander — in four short weeks, I was averaging less than one per day!
Nothing will make you more optimistic about life than personally getting rid of complaints. Please re-read the previous sentence twice. Imagine how different our country and the world would be if we could convince everyone in America to complain just once per day!

Are Taliban abandoning guerrilla tactics in Pakistan conflict?
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Taliban insurgents in Pakistan's Swat valley may be preparing to fight the Pakistani army on the streets of the scenic district's main city, as both soldiers and guerrillas, surprisingly, may be preparing to fight a conventional battle.
The army appears poised to enter Mingora city, lifting a curfew Friday to allow thousands of its remaining residents to flee. Whereas classic guerrillas would melt away into the hills, the Taliban in Mingora, puzzlingly, seemed to be waiting to take on the advancing troops.
The Pakistan army itself hasn't committed the number of troops that experts think would be required for counterinsurgency operations, and the high level of Taliban deaths the military has claimed would be unlikely if the Islamic extremists were using guerrilla tactics.
Officials in Washington, which has backed the Swat offensive, fear that key ally Pakistan risks excessive civilian casualties with its current approach, as thousands of residents remain trapped in the valley.
"If they (the Taliban) try to fight the army in Mingora or some other town, they don't stand a chance against the superior numbers which the army can assemble and the firepower the army can deliver," said analyst Javed Husain, a retired army brigadier who served in Pakistan's Special Services Group commando unit.
So far, the nine-day-old army offensive in Swat — which is 100 miles from Islamabad, Pakistan's capital — hasn't moved into the valley's towns. Those who managed to escape Mingora, where five headless bodies were found this week, warned that the army would face tough resistance from deeply entrenched Taliban in the city.
Shaukat Saleem, a Mingora resident who escaped from Swat on Friday, said the Taliban had blocked roads in the city with trees and boulders. They've mined the streets, dug trenches, made bunkers and occupied many civilian homes, he said. He said that he saw "lots" of Taliban as he was leaving the city, who stopped him for questioning at 10 to 12 of their checkpoints.
"Mingora is completely in Taliban hands," said Saleem, who's now a refugee at the Jalozai camp near Peshawar with his wife and son. "On the streets you only see Taliban and stray dogs."
The army estimated earlier this week that as many as 200,000 civilians were still in Mingora, and it was unknown how many remained there after Friday's exodus. The army said that it had cleared the area that leads to Mingora from the south as far as Udigram, a village on the outskirts of the city.
"We allowed the civilians to move out of Mingora city. We relaxed the curfew," said Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas, the army's chief spokesman.
Abbas declined to comment on the timing of a Mingora operation and whether the army would wait for all the residents to evacuate. It seems likely that thousands of them remain in the city, leading to fears that the Taliban might use them as "human shields."
It's taken years for the Pakistani public to back operations against the Taliban, and that support could evaporate easily.
Ali Dayan Hasan, a South Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, a U.S.-based advocacy group, warned that the Taliban could be "luring" the army into a fight in Mingora.
"If there are lots of dead civilians and lots of dead soldiers (in Mingora), it could do morale-sapping damage," Hasan said. "If we hear of 2,000 civilians dying, say, it's all over."
The U.S. military has encouraged its Pakistani allies to embrace counterinsurgency tactics, which call for winning civilian support, not just killing the enemy and seizing ground. Some U.S. officials, however, worry that the Pakistani army isn't willing or able to move away from traditional war-fighting tactics.
"If you talk to the (Pakistani) military leadership, they say they get it, but do they understand it the way we understand it?" a senior U.S. military official told McClatchy, speaking on the condition of anonymity in order to be more candid. "Often their definition of counterinsurgency is warning a village before an attack. That's it."
The Pakistani army claims to have killed well more than 800 Taliban in Swat so far, including 200 at a training camp that was bombed from the air. Guerrilla tactics would have had the insurgents mounting hit-and-run operations and ambushes in small groups. If the high death toll is correct, that would suggest that the militants were fighting pitched battles with the army, but assembling 200 Taliban at one spot would violate guerrilla instincts, analyst Husain said.
The Pakistani army has said that it's deployed as many as 15,000 men against a Taliban force it estimates at 4,000 to 5,000, in a war that's being fought in mountainous terrain. The standard counterinsurgency manual suggests that an army should outnumber a guerrilla enemy by 10 to 1 or more.
"Fifteen thousand is not enough at all. That's only enough to secure the operational area," Husain said. "They need more, and for that they would have to pull out troops from the eastern border."
To the frustration of Washington and other Western allies, Pakistan continues to deploy most of its army on its eastern border to safeguard against its traditional enemy, India, which it fears might attack while it's fighting the Taliban on its western border.

Selling your Apple Watch is a great way to make some extra money, especially if you want to upgrade to the newest model. Before you sell, you'll need to unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone. If your watch is in good condition, selling it on sites like Craigslist, eBay, or Swappa could earn you the most money. However, if your watch is broken, trade-in programs will still offer some cash to take it.
Method 1 of 3:
Unpairing Before You Sell
1Keep your watch and phone within several feet of each other while you unpair. The 2 devices will need to be in close proximity for the un-pairing to work. When you unpair from your iPhone, it will automatically create a backup of your watch's content and settings, which you could use to restore a new watch with your old settings.[1]
- You can still wipe your watch manually without your phone, but you won't be able to automatically make a backup on your phone.
2Unpair your watch from your iPhone in the "Apple Watch" app. Unlock your iPhone and tap on the "Apple Watch" app. Go to the "My Watch" tab and find the name of your Apple Watch. Tap the "i" information icon next to your watch, then select the "Unpair Apple Watch" option. Confirm and, if prompted, enter your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock.[2]
- Un-pairing will automatically reset the watch to factory settings, so you don't have to worry about wiping all of your information before selling.[3]
3Erase your watch manually if you don't have access to your phone. Open your watch and navigate to the Settings app, then select General > Reset. Tap "Erase All Content and Settings" and then press "Erase All" to confirm. Enter your passcode if prompted to complete the process. This will completely wipe your watch and return it to its original factory settings.[4]Advertisement
Method 2 of 3:
Selling by Yourself
1Sell to a family member or friend if the watch is in good condition. Since selling to someone close to you is different than selling to a stranger, you should treat this transaction with extra care and tact. Only sell your watch to family or friends if the watch is in the best condition possible and you're giving them a really good deal.[5]
2Post your watch on Craigslist if you want to sell in person. In your listing, include several photos and a specific description of the watch. Be sure to document any imperfections and set the price to reflect them as well. When you arrange meetings with potential buyers, be careful. Agree to meet up with the potential buyer in a busy, well-lit area and be extra cautious.[6]
- Be clear about the specifications, price, and condition of the watch so there is no confusion between you and the buyer when you meet.[7]
- Selling the original charger with the watch may make your listing more desirable, but it's not required.
3List your watch on eBay if you want to keep the transaction online. You'll likely make less because eBay takes 10% of the final price, but you'll generally get a higher offer for your watch because customers trust eBay's buyer protection program. To list your watch, post some photos and a detailed description, name the starting price, and then wait for bids to come in.[8] You may also need to pay a listing or insertion fee before you post your listing.[9]
- This way, you won't have to set up any face-to-face interaction either, which can be safer when dealing with expensive items.
- After you make the sale, you'll need to package the watch properly and ship it to the buyer.[10]
- You could also sell the original charger with the watch, but it's not necessary.
4Use Swappa if you want to sell on a reputable marketplace site. Swappa is a site specifically made for selling used electronics. Upload a few photos, write a description, and fill in some boxes to indicate the watch's condition. This site also only takes a $10 flat-rate cut on the final sale instead of a percentage, so you'll be able to keep more money from the sale.[11]
- On Swappa, you can sell your watch with or without the charger.
Method 3 of 3:
Trading in Your Watch
1Price your watch on multiple sites before making a decision. Enter all of the details about your watch, such as color, band, band color, and condition, into several different trade-in sites. Compare offers to make sure that you're getting the best deal.[12]
- Check out trade-in sites like https://www.Maxback.com/#modal, https://www.NextWorth.com, and https://www.Stopoint.com for possible rates.
2Make sure your watch is acceptable for trade-ins. Check each website for specific requirements, such as condition categories and whether or not you have the original charger to sell along with the watch. Generally, trade-in sites also won't take the most expensive models, like the Apple Watch Edition or the Watch Hermes.[13]
- Some sites have a wider range of acceptable conditions, such as Maxback.
- NextWorth is one of the only trade-in sites that will accept an Apple Watch without its charger.
- Some sites, such as Stopoint, will still accept broken Apple Watches for around $30-70.
3Make sure you're paid via check or Paypal to ensure your privacy and safety. Reputable sites should offer you cash in the form of a check or Paypal. If a site is offering you payment directly to your bank account or through any other transaction program, this is an immediate red flag, and you should not go forward with the transaction.Advertisement

current obsession: my favorite fonts!
It wouldn't be a font-themed day if we didn't start with a few of my favorites. I use a wide variety of fonts at Design*Sponge for roundups, city guide headers and all types of posts. I tend to prefer contrasting feminine and modern styles, but I have a soft spot for fonts that catch me by surprise and make me look for an excuse to use them. To kick things off this morning, I'm rounding up 35 of my favorite fonts on the market, free and for purchase. I've tried to keep as many of these low priced (or no-priced) as possible so that those of you looking to test out new fonts on your blogs or websites don't have to break the bank. Also, if you're as much of a font nut as I am, check out this quiz at Pentagram that tells you what font you would be. Have fun! xo, grace

Today is big day for me, like the first day at school for a baby boy. In fact, after 3 years of blogging, I am about to introduce into the biogsphere my first mix. Well…mix maybe is too much, let's call it selection, at most a podcast. That should be definitely more appropriate. Since I am not a DJ and I am not experienced in any music software as well, you have to be merciful with my first "short and imperfect" attempt. Yes, I am covering my self, you got it! Anyway, your feedback is highly appreciated. Let's go…
1 Outatime Orchestra – Back to the Future
My trademark, what else?
2 Ella Fitzgerald – Get Ready
She is god damn groovy in this track, pure energy, pure class
3 Ernie Hines – Our Generation
A classic break in an all-consuming tune. Pete Rock would approve my choice!
4 Mandrill – Symphonic Revolution
I am slowing down a little bit here with this nice and smooth ballad. Oh yes…I love Mandrill
5 Booker T & The MG's – Rinky-Dink
Parapara-papaparapara…a great instrumental from the Stax's house studio band.
This song put me in a good mood but you know…
6 Booker T & The MG's feat Judy Clay – Children Don't Get Weary
…after the laughs comes the tears. Same band, different feeling: what a dramatic song this time
7 El Michels Affair – Glaciers of Ice
My seeds growin his seeds marry his seeds, that's how we keep Wu-Tang money all up in the family
8 The Mighty Diamonds – Get Out of My Life Woman
From soul/funk to reggae, this song aint nothin' but the perfect hook!
9 Glen Washington – Jah Glory
Let's rise and shine and give Jah the glory, damn one of my favorite reggae songs of all time
10 Jah Mali – Long Long (Fade Away Riddim)
Jah Mali is simply perfect on this riddim, his voice is absolutely neat and sharp. You got to love this guy
11 Johnny Osbourne – Truth and Rights
Render your hearts and not your garments…what can I say about a song that start like this?
12 Alton Ellis and Tupac – Nothin Like Rockstady
This combination made my eyes bleed
13 Il Mago – One Love Remix
From the M&J crew, a dope remix!
Listen to Marty aka Marty McFky Podcast N 1
that's how we keep M&J money all up in the family
i was expecting there will be a voice a la "quiet storm" commenting :)
few nice tunes in the first half..you lost me in the second half..especially that terrible remix of nas by some guy called il mago :) , btw who the hell he is ?
ATTENTION PEOPLE: J Rocc just wrote us an email enquiring about the mixing technique Martini used for this mix. Sorry it's a restricted information!
you just mad because Martini aka the italian Gilles Peterson got my back
(no homo)
i thought that the ragnampiza crew were the italian Gilles Petersons…now i'm confused :(
Amazing Job,i love this selection!!!
Thanks a lot!
ha ha ha… that kid is really creepy!
just listening to it right now…great job Marty. About the mixing technique, J still needs to work hard if he wants to compete with you!
finally….listen it…cassix…heavy rotation =)

"Traffic is getting worse every year!"
Our neighborhood is undergoing quite a change in the last 5 years. many who have lived here their entire lives are selling their houses. Housing is a good value here as lots are large. local public schools are good. Traffic has gotten must worse as many people are moving to east portland. yet we have good access to freeways - just the local streets rae clogged during commuting times.

Dr Michael Mosley has been helping to run a study for the BBC looking at the relative benefits to gut health from a range of products. Volunteers and scientists collaborated to try to discover which of three probiotics/prebiotics had the biggest positive impact on gut bacteria.
The first product was a commercially available drink, branded as a probiotic and available in major supermarkets. The second item up for comparison was kefir, a traditional milk and yeast fermented substance, a little like yogurt. These first two foods were compared with vegetables high in natural prebiotic fibre called inulin. Inulin is found in range of foods including chicory (chicory root is a rich source) and scallions (onions, leeks and garlic).
The poorest preforming of the three in this trial was the probiotic drink. The participants in this group demonstrated a modest (statistically non significant) change in lachnospiraceae gut bacteria. Conversely significant changes in gut flora were seen in the group consuming prebiotic fibre. The people that consumer kefir enjoyed the most positive increase to gut bacteria.
It should be pointed out that any comparison between prebiotics and probiotics is not a like for like test. Prebiotics deliver the food that supports existing bacteria and create the conditions for further colonization. A probiotic is intended to introduce microorganisms directly into the body.
The BBC study concluded that traditionally produced fermented foods (or even home made versions) may offer the greatest benefits to consumers in terms of increased gut flora. A key problem with mass produced fermented foods and drinks is pasteurisation. Pasturised goods are regarded as safer, which also correlates to a longer shelf life. By comparison traditionally made kefir has to be consumed in a relatively short space of time. This is perhaps the choice we consumers face, if we want maximum health benefits from the food we make or buy we may have to sacrifice some of the convenience of long sell by dates.

Members of British and Afghan special forces were seriously injured during last week's Kabul siege after Afghanistan's interior minister barged onto the scene at 3am and ordered the "cowards" to rush the final assault, Afghan and international officials say.
Even as fighting raged on the upper floors of a 12-storey condemned building site that insurgents had used to fire missiles at the US embassy, Bismillah Khan Muhammadi, a 50-year-old cabinet minister, marched into the ground floor at around 3am and ordered a new team to be thrown into the fight.
Well-informed sources have painted an extraordinary picture of a senior official who not only remained in the building while fighting continued, but also accused commanders of being cowards and threatened to sack them unless they hurried up. A shocked official from Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said that by bypassing the established chain of command Muhammadi sent the mission into disarray, spoiling what had until that point been a painstaking and careful effort by Afghan forces.
"The troops that he sent in were not properly briefed or prepared, which may well have led to them taking casualties. By taking complete command of the entire operation he undermined all levels of command below him, rendering them ineffective," the official said.
Five Afghan commandos from the reserve unit Muhammadi had ordered into the building were injured as they raced up the building. Another had been wounded earlier in the operation, which took 20 hours to complete.
In addition five British special forces soldiers, most likely from the Special Air Service who were mentoring the Afghans, were wounded by grenades thrown in the abandoned building site. Another Isaf official said the British casualties were taken to a Nato medical facility where at least one man, suffering shrapnel wounds to his chest, was operated on.
The Ministry of Defence refuses to comment on either special forces operations or on injuries sustained by troops, but all the wounded are said to be recovering.
John Allen, the US general in overall command of the international forces, was said to be furious with Muhammadi's interference in the operation, which Isaf officials believe may have added hours to the final outcome, giving insurgents extra time to prepare for the final assault. An Isaf spokesman refused to comment on Allen's view of events, or on details of the operation.
A group of opposition MPs have called for the resignation of Muhammadi and other ministers with security portfolios in the wake of the day-long fight in the capital. In a statement the interior ministry denied the claims of security and diplomatic sources, saying the minister had stayed 600 metres away from the building and respected the chain of command.
It said there was "no reason to clear the area with hurry", adding: "The minister, when sought by the commanders, encouraged them to have patience during the operation and said they should act according to the procedures and training they have received while responding to these attacks."
But a western diplomat said Muhammadi, a former guerrilla leader who fought the Russians in the 1980s, had been "fuming about the amount of time it took to clear everything".
Afghan special forces believed they had no choice but to proceed slowly after booby-trapped bombs had been found on the upper floors. "They couldn't rush up," one official said. "Fighting upstairs is very difficult in a normal building, let alone one that is largely open with massive arcs of fire that the insurgents can shoot from."
In another sign of how well prepared the attackers were, a car filled with remote controlled explosives was left by the entrance of the building in an effort to kill security forces as they arrived. It did not explode, officials believe, because the insurgent with the detonator was killed before he could use it.
At one stage the Afghans planned to try and land troops on the roof with a helicopter but the plan was abandoned after it was decided the risks of the aircraft being shot down were too great.
It was a wise choice as the insurgents had at their disposal hundreds of grenades, rocket propelled grenades, heavy machine guns and an 82mm mortar tube used to fire at the US embassy.
Suspicions have been raised that such a huge quantity of weapons must have been pre-positioned, and two policemen who worked in a checkpoint based in the lower floors of the building have been arrested.
The insurgents, who have been identified by the US as members of the Haqqani Network, were highly proficient in using the weapons, at one point scoring a direct hit on a military vehicle with a rocket propelled grenade from 400 metres.
In another sign of military training, they also had basic first aid skills and equipment which they used to treat a colleague wounded soon after entering the building. His blood trail is still visible on the broken concrete flights of stairs.
During a visit to the site on Sunday an energy bar was still lying on a staircase where it was dropped by an attacker who was prepared for a long and physically draining siege.

I'm excited to announce that I'll finally be attending the 10th Annual Women's Sportbike Rally this September (11th-13th) at Deals Gap, NC! But more than that, I'll be sponsoring the bike night event and giving away all new gearchic shirts that I'm in the process of designing and producing. I've never ridden down to Deals Gap and am excited to explorer new roads. I'm excited to attend my first WSR, and am looking forward to being a sponsor.
For Registration Info and More Details, click here.
Here's some info about the event and what to expect:
The Women's Sportbike Rally presented by Cycle Gear is returning for its tenth event in the Smoky Mountains the weekend of September 11-13 for fun, friends, riding and raising funds for the fight against Melanoma. The event headquarters and activities also return to the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort which lay at the foot of the famous 318 turns in 11-miles also called the "Dragon." It is a fun and exciting location for those who love to ride regardless of whether you are a novice or veteran rider. This year, we are excited to have also held the inaugural West Coast event in Big Bear, CA the weekend of May 29-31. This event marks our first, but not last visit to the West Coast to introduce the Women's Sportbike Rally to a new group of women riders.
In addition to the beautiful riding in both areas, there will be plenty of event activities for all attendees and their guests to enjoy. There will be Friday and Saturday evening festivities, the Sportbike Night and the Sportbikegirl Pit Party, which will feature games, raffles, door prizes, entertainment and camaraderie. The most important reason to attend is to help support our fight against Melanoma. The event donates all net proceeds to The Skin Cancer Foundation in memory of Tiffany Weirbach, the original "Sportbikegirl" who succumbed to the disease in 2001 at the age of 24.
The event has been fortunate to gain the support of many companies over the years and this year is no different with Cycle Gear signing on as the presenting sponsor. The host of additional sponsors is growing each day, with plenty of room for more.
"If you haven't already done so, start making plans now to attend this year's rally," said Event Coordinator, Dawn Chappell. "Two days plus two wheels equal new friendships, great fun and lasting memories all while supporting a great cause." There are many options for area accommodations and special rates have been arranged with Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort and Fontana Village Resort. Registration for the East Coast event is now open. Visit our website atwww.womenssportbikerally.com for more information.
About the Rally
Established in 2006 at the famed Deals Gap, aka "The Dragon," the annual September event brings women from all walks of life and types of sportbikes together with their friends for a weekend of activities, entertainment and spectacular riding. Thanks to those who attend each year and our sponsors, this event continues to grow along with all the wonderful new memories and friendships. In addition, this event supports the fight against Melanoma - the deadliest of all skin cancers. All proceeds generated are donated to The Skin Cancer Foundation, in memory of Tiffany Weirbach, the original "Sportbikegirl" who succumbed to Melanoma in 2001 at the age of 24. With the East Coast rally bringing together so many great women riders, we have decided to also hold a West Coast rally.
If you follow my friend Brittany Morrow's social feeds, then you know she attended the West Coast Rally earlier this year. This is the same event, but the East Coast version!
