Thanks for the welcome from all, I'll let you know when I'm REALLY a Barth owner, week from tommorrow. Well next monday from this computer at work probably. I definitely will get some tow insurance, but I know I won't need it (knocking th sap outta many wood objects here). This site is awesome, I know I'm gonna have some questions once I get my coach, I can see this resource is invaluable. Dave, we came to terms Monday, so I'd say your prediction was accurate. Sorry again if I offend Larry and Heidi, Kevin (pre-mud)

To everyone, I looked at my tow insurance and could get it cheaper, but decided to go with GS for my road service contract. I chose to do this for one reason, they have a nation wide network to locate roadside service and towing. If I was only going to need help around where I live, I would have purchased the rider on my insurance, but that is not how it will be with an RV. For the most part we will be in areas where we have no familiarity or connections. To me the network is what makes it worthwhile. I know that no company is going to cover everything and there is always small print.
When I bought my Barth at the end of July, I had an air line blow out on the way from Naples, FL to my home in Massachusetts. I was about 30 miles outside Tampa on I75. I lost air pressure so quickly that by the time I got safely off the highway I couldn't shift into neutral or even shut off the engine. Luckily I had read the Cummins engine manual and remembered how to access the emergency shut off in the engine compartment. I was able to shut off the engine, but was stuck in gear. This prevented any option of towing and made getting help a problem. I called GS and they went to work. It took 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon and I had to tell them several times that I needed on site service and could not be towed. When the mechanic showed up, he would not accept the GS purchase order so I paid the whole bill. GS told me to submit it to them and they would pay it - they did pay me $87.00 for the service call. I was responsible for the remaining $240.00. The cost of the repair part was $3.50 for an air line fitting and the rest in three hours minimum labor plus mileage. I now have spare fittings in the Barth. All this leads to my point; where I broke down was in an area that I was unfamiliar with and did not know who to call or what shops would even be open, but GS did. The rest of my trip was uneventful and enjoyable. Bill

Read an Excerpt
The Cyclone
Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There are four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cooking stove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner. There was no garret at all, and no cellar-except a small hole, dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. It was reached by a trap-door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole.
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.
When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too. They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray; theyhad taken the red from her checks and lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled, now. When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled by the child's laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothy's merry voice reached her ears; and she still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.
Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke.
It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings. Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose. Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly.
Today, however, they were not playing. Uncle Henry sat upon the door-step and looked anxiously at the sky, which was even grayer than usual. Dorothy stood in the door with Toto in her arms, and looked at the sky too. Aunt Em was washing the dishes.
From the far north they heard a low wail of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm. There now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction also.
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.
"There's a cyclone coming, Em," he called to his wife; " I'll go look after the stock." Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand.
Quick, Dorothy! " she screamed; "run for the cellar!
Toto jumped out of Dorothy's arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him. Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap-door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last, and started to follow her aunt. When she was half way across the room there came a great shriek from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.
A strange thing then happened.
The house whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.
The north and south winds met where the house stood, and made it the exact center of the cyclone. In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was carried miles and miles ay as easily as you could carry a feather.
It was very dark, and the wind howled horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. After the first few whirls around, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle.
Toto did not like it. He ran about the room, now here, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quit still on the floor and waited to see what would happen.
Once Toto got too near the open trap-door, and fell in; first the little girl thought she had lost him. But saw one of his ears sticking up through the hole, for the strong pressure of the air was keeping him up so that he could not fall. She crept to the hole, caught Toto by the ear, and dragged him into the room again; afterward closing the trap-door so that no more accidents could happen.
Hour after hour passed away, and slowly Dorothy got over her fright; but she felt quite lonely, and the wind shrieked so loudly all about her that she nearly became deaf. At first she had wondered if she would be dashed pieces when the house fell again; but as the hours passed and nothing terrible happened, she stopped worrying and resolved to wait calmly and see what the future would bring. At last she crawled over the swaying floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her.
In spite of the swaying of the house and the wailing of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

I have seen the original movie, the Sci-fi channel sequel and the 80's anime cartoons but never actually read the book. After reading Wicked, Son of a witch and a Lion among men I wanted to read a little more about the original work that these stories were based on. I took my time in purchasing the right copy for me because there are many version of this story and I wanted to get the closest thing to the original. I was so pleased when I found this version and when I sat home and read it I was even more pleased to find that for a "child's" book it was actually gripping. The illustrations are also wonderfully done and they help to visualize the story very effectively.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is an exciting fantasy book. At some times it left me on the edge of my seat. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is mostly about the obstacles Dorothy endures to get back to Kansas to see her Aunt Em. I think the reason L. Frank Baum wrote this book was to show that Dorothy would do anything to see the people she loves. Things happen for a purpose, and if they didn¿t, you could miss out on a journey of a lifetime. In this riveting book there are various settings. In the beginning of the book Dorothy is in Kansas, living with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. When L. Frank Baum describes it, Kansas seems like a very dry and boring place to live. That lead me to think Dorothy really loves her Aunt and Uncle, because she doesn¿t care where she lived, as long as she¿s with them. After a terrible tornado that sends their house spinning in the air, Dorothy was in Munchkin Land. She meet three small munchkins. The good witch of Munchkin Land tells her the Great Oz of Emerald City may be able to help her get back to wherever she¿s from. Dorothy makes her way down the yellow brick road. Surprisingly, a scarecrow talks to her. Dorothy invites him to go on the journey with her and her little dog, Toto. The scarecrow is in search of brains, and thinks that without brains he is miniscule in his society and only exists to scare pesky crows. As Dorothy, Toto and scarecrow continue down the road they see a rusty Tin Man holding an ax in midair as if frozen. After some mumbling, Dorothy grabs an oil can and lubricates it¿s limbs until it can move again. The Tin Man says he would like a heart because he is made of tin. As they carry on with their pursuit to see the Wizard of Oz, a monstrous lion tries to hurt little Toto. This is because he is a coward and scares innocent creatures to make himself look tough. The lion is in search of bravery. Dorothy then invites him to go with them to the land of Oz. All of them in need of something from the Great Oz, they start their journey. They undergo many obstacles on their journey to the great and wonderful Oz, but somehow got through by using the materials they have. `¿How shall we cross the river?¿ asked Dorothy. ¿That is easily done,¿ replied the Scarecrow. ¿The Tin Woodman must build us a raft, so we can float to the other side.¿¿ This shows each of the characters has something special in their group that will help them get through rough patches. Each of the characters pitch in. I think the description of the settings were very helpful when I was trying to create a mental picture of the scenario. ¿To their great joy the trees became thinner the further they advanced, and in the afternoon they suddenly came upon a broad river, flowing swiftly just before them. On the other side of the water they could see the road of yellow brick running through a beautiful country, with green meadows dotted with bright flowers and all the road bordered with trees hanging full of delicious fruits.¿ The paragraph above just demonstrated the sort of details of setting, which is scattered throughout the book. When Dorothy, scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion and little Toto get the The Emerald City of Oz, they each have to go in on different days. Although Oz tells them all the same thing. What is it? Well you¿re going to have to read the book to find out! I think that the book was very violent, more violent than I was expecting. For example: there were a lot of beheadings due to the Tin Man. That¿s sending a message to children that to solve problems, they can hurt things and the problem is solved....no problem. Children don¿t realize there are consequences to their actions. Although I don¿t like comparing books to movies, the movie is so much different from the book. The movie just has the story outline but not the juicy and exciting parts. There was so much more in the book than the movie. I was so glad I read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz because I never had known what actually ha
L. Frank Baum's classic tale is 100 years old. I had the pleasure of reading the original version. Just like in the classic movie, Dorothy is blown to Oz by a tornado from with the farmhouse where she lived in Kansas with her aunt and uncle. The house lands in Munchkiland and kills the Wicked Witch of the West. After realizing what has happened, Dorothy is met by the good with of the north who tells her that Dorothy should go to Emerald City to ask the great wizard to send her back to Kansas. Dorothy likes the SILVER shoes that the Wicked Witch of the West was wearing and she starts wearing them. For her safety, the good witch of the north gives Dorothy a kiss which marks her for protection. Dorothy starts following the yellow brick road and meets the scarecrow. After putting him down from the stick he was placed, the scarecrow befriends Dorothy and decides to accompany her to Emerald City to see if he can get a brain. Later they meet the Tin Man who was corroded while trying to cut a tree. After oiling him back, the Tin man tells Dorothy of his predicament. He was originally human but kept losing body parts which were replaced by tin. Finally he lost his chest and he was not able to get a heart in the replacement so he stopped loving. he wishes to accompany them to see if he can get his heart back. Next the meet the lion, who is looking for courage. He also joins the group. When they are in the poppy fields, Dorothy and Toto are carried by the Tin Man and the Scarecrow to safety, but the Lions falls asleep. They think they have lost him, until Dorothy rescues the Queen of the rats, who commands an army of rats to pull the lion from the poppy field in a cart that Tin Man makes, while Tin Man and Scarecrow push from behind. As they get to Oz, they are admitted to the city and made to wear green goggles. Oz grants each one of the a separate audition and presents himself in different shapes to all four but asking the same thing from each--in order to grant their wish they must kill the wicked with of the west. They set west for the adventure. The wicked witch of the West has only one eye, but can see everything in her land. When she sees the silver shoes she wants to kill all but Dorothy to get the shoes. She first send a pack of wolves to do the job, but the tin man kills them all with his ax. The she send a pack of crows to get them, but the Scarecrow scares them and one by one dismember them. After she sends her killer bees, but they hide Dorothy and the Tin Man takes on all the bees which die as they sting him. Then she send the Winkies, her slaves, and the Lion this time is the hero by roaring so loud that they all run away. Finally the witch gets her Golden Cap which had one more wish to ask from the flying monkeys. They capture all the gang, but the witch is scared of Dorothy because of the good witch's kiss and the shoes. The wicked witch tricks Dorothy to lose a shoe, but Dorothy gets mad and throws a pot with the dinner at the witch. The water in the pot melts the witch. I will say no more, but the book is so different from the book that it takes almost as long to finish the story, where each character finds where they want to live in Oz and Dorothy returns to Kansas. The book is a classic children story and a fascination to read, especially because of all the discrepancies from the classic Judy Garland movie.
Dorothy is a young girl who lives on a Kansas farm with her dog Toto. One day Dorothy and the farmhouse was sucked in to a tornado and dropped in a field in the country of the Munchkins. The house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East killing her. The Good Witch of the North comes to greet Dorothy and gives her a pair of shoes. In order to return to Kansas, Dorothy is to visit the Wizard of Oz. In the end Dorothy realizes that she had the power to go home all along without the Wizard. I really did not like this book. I have never been able to get involved in this book even when I was in school. This book has to much make believe to grab my attention from the beginning. This book could be by showing the students the movie and having them write a compare/contrast paper about he movie and the book. This could be used in teaching the children about society.
As a child, The Wizard of Oz was a constant, a movie that would be watched several times in the course of the year. We'd laugh at the scarecrows antics, sigh at the tin man's desire for a heart and giggle at the cowardly lion. The wicked witch would scare us and Toto would make us want a dog - so I'm not quite sure how it happened that I never managed to get around to reading the books. I decided to end 2010 (and start 2011's reviews) off with reading all fifteen Oz books by L. Frank Baum. I'm glad I made that decision, as after this single book I found myself falling in love in a completely different way with the story. Simplistic and perfect, Baum's writing is easily understood by young and old alike. There's enough of a difference between the book and the movie to keep you interested, even if you've seen the movie as many times as I have (or more!). I laughed and enjoyed myself thoroughly ... now just to find a pretty set to put on my shelves.
I read this book because the movie was referenced in Stephen King's, "Wizard and Glass (4th Dark Tower Book)." I couldn't wait for it to be over. Surprising how bluntly violent parts of it was. "So the Woodman raised his axe, and as the wildcat ran by he gave a quick blow that cut the beast's head clean off from its body, and it rolled over at his feet in two pieces." They don't write children books like that anymore. The Gunslinger books referenced the movie more than this book, I think.
In The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, Dorothy and her dog Toto, are picked up in a tornado and land in Oz where they meet a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion on their journey to find her way back home to Kansas. I've never read the book until now, but have seen the film tons of times. I always wanted to be Dorothy. However, Baum's Oz is much more dark and a bit more violent than melting the wicked witch. I was pretty surpised by the number of decapitations! I really loved it though and it reminds me of the old fairy tales that don't spare any gore and consequences.
Having not come across this one in a very long time, my thoughts: So much stranger than the film, for sure. Also so much funnier, and far more cynical, despite the amusing little bit at the beginning from Baum about how fairy tales where bad things happen are obsolete. Less recognized as such, but this is nearly as loony as Alice in Wonderland--especially in that very same hyper-episodic feeling, where he just throws idea after idea after idea at you, with barely time to hold onto the characters or figure out what just happened before he skips along giddily to the next. I'm very, very glad I reread this one, and onwards to the Marvelous Land (got myself this Borders collection of the first seven Oz books for a very reasonable price, and I'm just having at them.).
I can't believe I never read this classic either. I've of course seen the movie a dozen times. I can only imagine what it would have been like to read such a book before the the movie. This book has made such an impact on children all over the world. Ironically I saw the movie Australia recently which uses this book in a few scenes. It's such a good imaginative book for kids to read.
This classic tale tells the story of Dorothy's journey to the strange and magical land of Oz, and the her many travails along the road home. This book is great for children starting in elementary school and up through middle school. It can also be read as a historical document in the context of American history and the election of 1896.
I'm amazed by the reviews that insinuate that the book isn't as good as the movie. I enjoyed the movie growing up but didn¿t like it as much after I saw Return to Oz, which I thought was a much better (and more frightening) film and, as it turns out, a more faithful adaptation of the Oz books. Actually, Return to Oz prompted me to read the Oz books. If you still think the MGM musical is the bee's knees, then the book may not be to your liking. I, however, think it is fantastic. This book may seem dated and the action slow-moving but it was written at a time when people actually had attention spans and children weren't addicted to electronic devices. Be patient with it.
I was interested in reading at least this first book of the original Oz series after recently finishing Wicked by Gregory Maguire, if only to see what he based his novel on and what the 1939 movie was based on. I found it a little slow-going (even for a children's book), but overall imaginative and a good read. I don't have any interest in pursuing the rest of the series, but perhaps I might someday down the road when my children will be old enough to read them.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is a an outstanding book where a girl, named Dorothy, gets whisked away by a tornado to the Wonderful World of Oz.In this story, Dorothy has to talk to a talking Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and a Tin Woodman. She must find the Wizard of Oz to send her back home, but when she gets to Oz, she finds that he is an imposter. After that, Dorothy goes to Glinda, the good witch, who gives her a pair of flying shoes which Dorothy uses to fly home.If you think about it, isn't Dorothy like the Greek God, Hermes, the messenger of the gods? They both have flying shoes. Hermes took people to the land of the dead, and Dorothy leads the tin woodman, lion, and the scarecrow to the City of Emeralds to find Oz. Could the Tin Woodman be one of Hephaestus' automatons? Could the Cowardly Lion be like the Nemean Lion, a vicious monster? Ha, Ha. Was this book inspired by Greek Mythology? (Answer the poll on the right sidebar, or post a comment to give me your opinion.)The moral of the story seems to be that there is no place like home. I think that because even when Dorothy had a whole kingdom at her fingertips, she still missed home.This book also has flabbergasting ***chuckles*** illustrations. They are inked drawings, with amazing effects. For example, in the illustration at the beginning of Chapter 4 - The Road through the Forest, you can almost see into the forest with the 3D effect.ozI recommend this book to anybody who wants a fantasy adventure story. It's a thrill ride all the way through.
Dorothy lives in the west with her aunt and uncle or she did till a tornado swept her and her house to the west. Dorothy mis's her aunt and uncle so she try's to go back but there i lots to stop her.
This story is very interesting. The hiroine of this story is the brave and sensible Dorothy . She makes friends with the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. Then many things happens! The Wizard of Oz was one of my favorite stories when I was a child.Although it was made for children, I think everyone can enjoy reading it.
This is the classic story of Dorothy, the yellow brick road, etc. The story all of us know. Except with a lot of other things that weren't in the movie at all! All kinds of crazy things, some of which would have been too violent for the movie! It's a charming tale with some really cute illustrations. after reading the second one I liked the second one better because of the illustrations in the second one are different and I liked them better and the fact that this one seemed so strange after being so familiar with the movie and having so many extra and changed things in this one. I see this as a self-chosen book for kids who are reading their own chapter books, or as a choice in a fantasy unit.
I don't think many more than a few fans of L. Frank Baum's 14-book Oz series claim The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a favorite. Speaking as a childhood Oz fan myself, I always considered this as not much more than a forgettable set-up for the much more interesting excursions that occur later in the series (with Ozma, and Glinda, and Captain Bill, and *insert your favorite combination of characters here*).Rereading this now, as an adult, it's easy to see why: Baum's prose here is rather stilted and almost dour at times. It's not helped along by W. W. Denslow's illustrations, which, while rather intelligently using the limited color-printing to great effect, interpret Oz almost as a toy land. His Dorothy and crew in action seem almost dumpy and static, posed doll-like even, in comparison to the more sprightly drawings of John R. Neill (illustrator of the remaining 13 books by Baum, and the next 24 canon Oz books, including three he penned himself).Yet in one way, Baum was entirely successful: he created a new American fairy tale. His talent for creating memorable characters created from both pillaged archetypes (echoes of parables and folktales abound) and strange invention is in full force here. And they tap into symbolic universal struggles. The iconic Dorothy, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, the humbug Wizard- they¿ve become intrinsic within pop culture. In that way, I¿m really glad I reread it, not taking my own memories, ¿the populist interpretation¿, Wicked, etc- as ¿good-enough¿ readings of the text.This Oz isn¿t the Technicolor dreamland of the 1939 MGM musical; this isn¿t the joyful utopian adventure-land I remember. The land of Oz surprised me in both its simplicity and dangerous charm. The characters astounded me over and over again: Dorothy¿s blessed frank and common-sense nature, the Scarecrow philosophical argument about the benefits of mind over heart, the Wizard¿s people-pleasing nature, the Tin Man¿s combination of compassionate heart and brutal ax hand. Please don¿t take my word for it- it¿s something new and something old¿ and unforgettable.
This is a wonderful book to read, especially if you love the movie, but you must be aware that the book is considerably different than the movie. I think this is a case where the majority of people will have seen the movie before reading the book, and therefore may not like the book. For example, the Emerald City is actually white, did you know that? They also encounter many talking animals such as a stork that saves the scarecrow and a mouse who is a queen. This book is much more detailed than the movie, as most books are.I would recommend this book for my library (medium public library).
One of my favourites! I just recently finished reading this (again), but this time to my 6yob. If you've only seen the movie, be warned, the book is very different. The whole wicked witch story comprises only one chapter of this book.
L. Frank Baum has created a magical world, and a wonderful cast of characters in this classic fairy tale. In this first book, Baum explores the desire for brains, courage, and heart, things that many people wish they had. As the story progresses, they each prove again and again that they have the things that they want, but they don't really believe it. This shows the element of human nature that self-evaluation isn't always correct. This book should be read by any who love fairy stories. Dorothy is a resourceful girl who easily makes friends with her kindness and intelligence. The adventures she goes on strengthens her conviction to return home as well as her bonds to her new friends. A magical adventure that I have gone on again and again, this book is a purely American, purely imaginative novel that children and adults alike can and should read at least once in their lives, whether or not you keep reading the rest of the series.
Since I recently saw the touring version of Wicked in Denver, I thought it would be an interesting idea to read the original work that it had re-imagined. I'd never read the book and had only seen the Judy Garland movie. The book was as different from the movie (e.g. no ruby slippers) as Wicked was from both the movie and the book. The book basically tracks the adventures of a girl whose house is picked up by a tornado and it and her are dropped on top of the Wicked Witch of the East in the Land of Oz. Along the way she meets a cast of strange characters on her quest to reach the Wizard of Oz in order to return home. Not as dark as I was expecting and the journey is broken down into short sub-plots. This makes it perfect for reading to your kids before bedtime. The story also has several lessons that can be taken from it such as don't doubt yourself, never give up and you already possess all of the abilities you need - just look inside. A cute and fun tale for children of all ages.
My granddaughter is 10 and reads "everything", so I decided to start her on the Wizard of Oz series as I have read most of them and really enjoyed the books. They are a great way to get away to another place and use your imagination. I got her this one and book 2 of the series. They are very nice books, great cover art and illustrations that help fuel your imagination. I will purchase the rest of the books in this series for her and recommend them as gifts for anyone.

Ooh, look! One of those cool memory foam pillows, the ones with the little arch to support your neck! I wanted this for such a long time before I finally splurged. Carried it lovingly home from the store, shoved old boring non-memory foam pillow into the closet and prepared for the most restful sleep of my life.
So it was a little harder than I was used to, but hey, it had that cool ridge to support my neck. I was probably so misaligned that I really needed this pillow to mold me back into shape. No way my lovely new pillow could have anything to do with the persistent nagging headaches I'd started getting lately.
After one too many nights of trying to adapt myself to the pillow, I hurled it off the bed and dragged out old comfy, low-tech. I slept really well that night and the headaches were gone within a day.
And yet I still have the fancy pillow. Time to make peace with the fact that I spent too much for something that hurt my neck. Send it away Saturday!
Are you holding onto something that doesn't work for you because you spent a lot of money on it? Would it be okay to let it go now?
Is you linen closet overflowing? Contact Joyful Surroundings LLC for compassionate, creative, and totally nonjudgmental decluttering & organizing services.

Sealing of Maria River Rd to provide a boost for Crescent Head business
The sealing of the Maria River Rd has been welcomed by two Crescent Head businesses, who believe the decision will provide a boost to the local economy.
The road, which links Crescent Head with Port Macquarie, will officially be sealed after money was allocated in the 2019/2020 state budget announced on June 18.
Barnett's Bakery and another local business, which wishes to remain anonymous, believe the sealing of Maria River Rd will lead to more tourists visiting the region.
"I think the decision to seal the road will lead to more people coming over from Port Macquarie. They will come on weekends and for day trips," co-owner of Barnett's Bakery Rae Barnett told the Argus.
"I know there are some locals who are against the decision to seal the road but from a business point of view it's great."
Ms Barnett has always noticed an increase in business over the holiday period and she claims some of her customers are holidaying in Port Macquarie, but travel to Crescent Head for the day.
"People come in and tell me they are holidaying in Port Macquarie but decided to come over for a day trip and I think there will be a lot more people doing that once the road is sealed," she said.
"Quite often they will ask if I know if the road is in a bad state or whether it's driveable so I know where they have come from but they have obviously taken the highway here."
The manager of a Crescent Head business, who has chosen to remain anonymous, agrees more people will travel to the popular holiday destination.
"People from Port Macquarie and tourists staying there are more likely to travel on the Maria River Rd as it's a bit of a novelty," the business manager said.
"They can catch the ferry across the Hastings River and then take the scenic drive to Crescent Head instead of going on the highway.
"I think that would make a good day out for the tourists who are probably from the city and don't get to experience a trip like that very often."
However, the business manager claims the most important benefit from sealing the road will be for the safety of local residents and those who live on Maria River Rd.
Ms Barnett's daughter, Penny Bunting, who also works at the family bakery, lives on Maria River Rd.
Ms Bunting is looking forward to the sealing of the road and believes it will improve the safety.
"I think it's a great idea to seal it," Ms Bunting said.
"I think the Pacific Highway upgrade had already made a difference, as less people travel on Maria River Rd now, but it will definitely improve the safety for everyone who does drive on it.
"People who aren't accustomed to driving on dirt roads often drive too fast and I have seen a fair few crashes.
"The potholes make the road quite dangerous and people will swerve onto the other side of the road to avoid them and it's led to collisions and plenty of near misses."

The improved conditions will also contribute to additional savings for those who travel on the road on a daily basis.
"My husband and I travel on the road at least two times a day and our cars take punishment," she said.
"I have spent at least $2,000 on ball joints, wheel bearings and shock absorbers over the past two years."
Kempsey Shire councillor and Crescent Head resident Mark Baxter told the Port News last week the upgrade will be a "massive" boost to the Macleay Valley.
"It should increase the flow of tourists into the Macleay - lunch at Crescent, visit the Art Gallery at Gladstone, swim and dinner at Hat Head and scuba dive and sleepover at South West Rocks," Cr Baxter said.
"The Hastings Valley receives billions in tourist dollars from the 1.6 million tourists per year, our valley receives far less with only half a million tourists per year.
"If we can increase the flow of tourists we will address unemployment and poverty in our valley."
A start date for construction on the Maria River Rd hasn't been announced.

One or two missing teeth may not seem like much cause for concern, especially if they are not easily visible in your smile. The truth is that you need all of your teeth for optimal oral health and function and you should never wait too long to replace lost teeth. Our dentists offer dental bridges in Ventura, California, allowing you to enjoy a full smile without the surgery required for a dental implant.
A bridge can be used to replace a single missing tooth or two or more teeth next to one another. Aside from the cosmetic benefits, replacing missing teeth with a bridge will protect your smile from gum disease and an increased risk of dental damage.
The process for placing a bridge is really quite simple. The dentist will remove the enamel from the tooth on each end of the gap in your smile. An impression will be made of that area and used to create the dental crowns and the bridge which will hold the prosthetic teeth. When the bridge is ready the dentist will cement the crown onto the tooth to hold it in place and restore your smile. You should brush your bridge just as you would your natural teeth and with the proper care your bridge can last up to ten years.
If you would like to learn more about how a dental bridge may be able to improve your smile call 805-644-5284 today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Homayoun H. Zadeh and associates.

B-4- I go for the evening, I had one of my frisky dreams last night. In amongst it, I tried to relieve my need to breed and while I was up for the challenge, Herman would not spit up. Might be that I haven't had any serious stimulation, for a long while. Last time I had any serious interaction was when we had the underwear show when I was in Wendell. Okay then. I need to know why even it being owned by the same network, why can't USA – TV (cable network) needs to keep running the same rerun episodes? Why can't the harvest some new episodes, since the series is still on the air? The great TV show's that have staying power get axed, and we get these shows like the Queen of the South, or The Chrisley's or that fat gal on the Radke's get top network, shelf space. Crap is what it is. No wonder the On Demand is blooming, while network of any kind broadcast or cable's ratings keeps dwindling. Then you get the copy cat series's. When one network blooms a great series, the rest try to duplicate it, but all too frequently, fail. Dig this; as you might have seen the few promos, for a revamped reboot on the old series, SHAFT. Well, not to be left out, BBC-America, has to roll out something called Luther. I viewed Luther, for about 15 minutes the other night, but fell asleep the rest of it. Its just boring. Damn Brits, anyway. I'd love to see a reboot of the series Fresh Meat, with that stunning Welch honey, Kimberly Nixon,>
That super hot smile, and action acting, could you imagine that series being done in America? Be much better than Pretty Little Liars.
Of course putting some version of the Dukes-of-Hazzard or Airwolf on would hurt my feelings. Even BJ & The Bear rebooted.
If only I could get a hot honey with tiny toes in nylon hose to grace my humble domicile I'd be much better off, hey I need a sniff and taste.
Night Ya'll.

There are like, 8, nerve endings in the clit alone, compared to about 4, in the penis.

Meek Mill Reveals He Listens To Drake's Song For Motivation!
1 1 Total
Sunnex May 28, 2017 ( Post 1 )
Meek Mill's upcoming album is going to be called Wins And Losses.
It's been two years, but Meek Mill is still listening to the diss record that Drake aimed at him.
Meek Mill posted a video of himself listening to the Drake's single "Back to Back" on his Instagram Stories feed.
"I play this for motivation," Meek's on-screen quote read. "Back to back Aventadors."
Drake dropped "Back to Back" in July 2015, at the height of the storied Meek rift. The record was followed up by "Charged Up," which basically became a side dish to the club-friendly diss record that launched countless memes.
Meek retorted with "Wanna Know," and "[msearch]War Pain[/msearch."

The use of a 3D-printing additive manufacturing process is reported for the first time for the extrusion of chalcogenide glasses by using a filament feed. Several challenges were overcome: preparation of chalcogenide glass filaments by the crucible technique, optimization of extrusion temperature or even filament feeding. The As40S60 chalcogenide glass was selected for its low glass transition temperature (Tg = 188°C) and ease of synthesis and processing. It was extruded using a commercial 3D-printer at a temperature around 140°C above the glass transition temperature. 3D-printed glass specimens were then characterized and no significant difference was observed in comparison with the bulk precursor glass in terms of chemical and thermal properties. This first report of additive manufacturing of chalcogenide glass complex shapes paves the way for the development of novel specialty optical components that could not be produced by conventional methods, including the fabrication of multimaterial optical fiber preforms.

Filmmakers have always faced an obstacle when it comes to depicting blindness on screen; some topics resist elaboration in a visual medium. But in the essay documentary "Vision Portraits," the filmmaker Rodney Evans suggests that going blind can lead to new ways of seeing.
Evans ("Brother to Brother"), who has been losing his eyesight because of a condition called retinitis pigmentosa, presents portraits of artists who have varying levels of visual impairment. In one way or another, the subjects have drawn on their experiences to forge or redefine their creative sensibilities. For the writer Ryan Knighton, who has addressed losing his sight with humor in live readings for the Moth, blindness is simply another point of view on the world.
The photographer John Dugdale, who lost most of his sight after an HIV-related stroke, recalls learning to focus a camera by touch. He invites viewers to picture things with their eyes closed. (Evans cuts to black while he recites a list.) He speaks of the "aurora borealis" he always sees because his optic nerves are still firing. "It would be interesting" to get his sight back, he says, but he thinks he might throw up, because the world has changed so much since 1994.

Good morning. Here's everything you need to know in the world of advertising today.
1. Twitter confirmed it is laying off 8% of its global workforce. Here's the email CEO Jack Dorsey sent to staff.
2. We spoke to two of the New York Times execs whose job it is to help double digital revenue to $US800 million by 2020. The Times is placing a big focus on native advertising.
3. Soho House is building a co-working space in London to rival the likes of WeWork. The new space is adjacent to the Shoreditch House location, which is popular with advertising and media types.
4. Axel Springer has blocked ad block users from Bild, Europe's top-selling tabloid. Springer said visitors to the website of Bild, Europe's top-selling tabloid, will be asked to switch off the ad blocker or pay a monthly fee of 2.99 euros ($US3.40) to browse the website mostly ad-free.
5. Wal-Mart workers bash their employer in a powerful new national commercial. In two 30-second spots, the workers claim that executives treat them like they are "disposable," cut their hours and benefits, and give them erratic schedules.
6. Under Armour is on pace to become one of the fastest-growing sports brands in history. The company is on pace to reach a staggering $US20 billion in revenue by 2025, up from nearly $US4 billion this year, according to Morgan Stanley analysts.
7. One of the biggest brands of the 90s is poised to make a comeback. Timberland has reinvented itself.

From GECK
I'm having trouble. I want to create a new weapon, but when I go to the art tab, I cant select any models. It takes me to a file with no models in it, and I've run a search on my computer for the model name I want and it doesnt return the data. So, I guess what I'm asking is how do I access these models? Also, is it possible to duplicate a weapon profile so you can just edit a few details (Like to make a unique variant of it)? Where are the models? Do I need to somehow export them? Help! Iron Angel 00:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- The files are inside of the the .bsa files in your DATA directory. You'll need to extract them using either FOMM or FO3Archive. Search for them on F3Nexus.
- --Quetzilla 01:05, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. Iron Angel 01:12, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Is it working out for you and if so could you please explain(or link to an explanation) how to make a new weapon from existing models. I'm having a difficult time making a variation of the .32 pistol.--LaughingBandit 08:36, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. Iron Angel 01:12, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Greetings, i am haveing a problem makeing the pipboy image for my weapon to show ingame. Ingame it is only shown as an error message, the weapon is still playeable though. I have exported an image called "weapon_sniper_rifle.dds" to use, and i have chosen it in the arts and sounds tab. Help appreciated. //Siphex
- Try changing the name of the file to something else and updating your .esp
- --Quetzilla 19:00, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- In Oblivion, at least, underscores in some file names (most notably textures) could cause problems. Try the filename without underscores.
- Also, please sign your comments with ~~~~, thank you.
- DragoonWraith · talk · 22:35, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- That can't be the problem -- BGS uses underscores all over, the "weapon_sniper_rifle.dds" is an included texture. I have replacer textures for those icons too and those work fine as well.
- --Quetzilla 00:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- I've changed the name of the file but it still says: pipboy error [File not found].
- At the moment im useing existing weapons to get the image right but in the future
- it may cause problems with custom images.
- --Siphex 19:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)Siphex
So I'm having difficulty as well with the weapons. Used FO3 Archive to extract files I needed to the same named directories as in the game (just using the existing models and icons for now) - So in my data directory I have interface directory (and subdirs all the way to 'weapons_10mm_pistol.dds') -- and I have weapons directory (with subdirs all the way to '10mmpistol.nif') When I attempt to select those files in GECK it gives me an error of invalid directory. Tried also placing the directories in the main fallout 3 directory (where the fo3 and geck exe's are) and it won't work there either. Any advice? --Gedrean 19:42, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- It sounds like you have things like this:
- data/interface/subdirs/file.dds
- data/weapons/subdirs/file.nif
- it needs to be like this:
- data/textures/interface/subdirs/file.dds
- data/meshes/weapons/subdirs/file.nif
- --Quetzilla 20:29, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, color me stupid. It worked. Thanks!
- --Gedrean 21:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- As a side note, it's only the GECK that cares about these directories. If you use FO3Edit You can put new files in whatever directory (under /Data/) that you want.
- --Quetzilla 23:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- True - but this Wiki regards the GECK and as I am practicing modding using the official tool, I would think it appropriate to follow its idiosyncracies. ;) Also, another question in a new Topic below.
- --Gedrean
New Problem/Issue
Okay, so I was going over the Weapons page, and then the GECK, and realized something: The weapons page contains fields that are not actually in the current GECK release I downloaded this morning!
Some of these fields seemed useful -- but I cannot access them. Any reasons?
BTW, my previous mod, a test at creating an uber-pistol for the sake of creating one for my first mod, worked brilliantly. :)
- You'll have to be specific about what it is that you think isn't in the GECK. you're probably not realizing that the Weapons window has multiple Tabs in the lower half that you'll need to switch to to see what they contain.
- Also, make sure to sign your posts.

Weapon Texture issues
Good morning all! I've managed to create a custom weapon in the GECK with all the parameters I want: I did a custom description for it, I altered the stats to my liking, I have it placed in the game world...The only issue is getting the new textures to bloody appear in the bloody game! Here's what I did to get them to appear in the GECK; maybe there is some issue in my process here...? and for the record, i used the hunting rifle as a base.
1.) After first creating my weapon, I went into the miscellaneous-->Texture set window created a new texture set for my item, and gave it a unique ID sorta thing so it didn't overwrite any existing set; so far so good, it seems. 2.) I navigate to form for the weapon that i've edited and then right-click, select edit, and then click on the 'edit model' button in the window on screen. The weapon model i'm basing my item off of is all red; no problem: I load the texture I want and that fixes the redness -- in the GECK, it looks as i would want it in the game. 3.) I place my item in the game world to test it out...and lo and behold, everything worked fine except the textures -- they're still the default textures for the hunting rifle! I have no idea how to get this working; my intuition tells me everything should work, but apparently something gets 'lost in translation' from the geck rendered item to the in-game rendered item.
The plot thickens: The texture I want to use appears when the weapon is on the ground, but not any other time...hmmmm
any help would be uber-appreciated! --kbbenson
- weapons have two models -- the normal model and the 1st person model. In order to get your textures to work all the time, you have to edit the textures for the Static item that corresponds to your weapon. You'll find these under World Objects->Statics in the Object Window. The weapon models are at the top of the list.
- --Quetzilla 18:33, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you Quetzilla; It works perfectly now.
- --kbbenson
I added the relevant info to the Model section for future use.
--Quetzilla 23:32, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
In vanilla FO3, certain weapons appear to have a hidden accuracy problem or a range problem. For example, the Sniper Rifle. I can be within what seems a reasonable range, zoom in, put the + target in the middle of the back, with no physcal obstructions between me and the target, but when I pull the trigger, a round fires but nothing else happens. No damage is inflicted, yet the enemies are alerted as if I had missed. In addition, the non-zoom sight (the one that looks like > < ) is green, even though I'm aiming right at something (it should be red to confirm I'm aiming at an enemy target). What is the problem here? Is it range? If so, how to I increase the range? I've changed the Max variable in the Range box (from about 3750 to 6000) and nothing seemed to happen.
I've played the F3C mod and noticed that the range of the sniper rifle seemed much greater and that the > < sight turned red when placed over enemy targets at much greater ranges. What can I do? Servius 21:39, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
- You are outside of auto-aim range. What happens then is that the bullet follows the line traced by the barrel of the gun - which is pretty much never pointed directly through the crosshair. You can't really tell much of the time, unless you are at very high range.
- When you are in auto-aim range, the auto-aim eliminates this issue.
- It's a very large annoyance and one I hope the community can fix with some standards - this would allow iron sights and manual aiming. But it only works if all guns are designed to meet the standard, which takes a very large degree of cooperation on the part of modelers...

You need to create a projectile with the megaton nuke explosion attached (it's under Special Effects -> Explosions), then set your weapon to use that projectile (that part is under the Art and Sound tab of the weapon).
