3R-UAV01.10 Ultraschall Windsensor
Zum Vergrößern anklicken
High performance technology
The 3R UAV01 is a 2-axis ultrasonic anemometer that measures the wind speed and direction with high accuracy and reliability thanks to its advanced technology.
It is especially designed to directly replace the Davis VP2 standard wind cups anemometer without needing to use any other component or transmitter apart from a power supply.
To determine the wind speed and direction, the sensor emits ultrasonic pulses from one transducer to the opposite one along 2 orthogonal axis and then measures the elapsed time between the emission and the reception of the pulses. The measurements are done in both directions of each path to avoid errors caused by the current environmental conditions of temperature, humidity and barometric pressure.
Its high performance makes it ideal for all kind of security and control applications in roads, buildings, ski resorts, theme parks, harbors, etc. Its low power consumption allows to use it in installations powered by solar panels.
Rugged and weatherproof design
The sensor features a very rugged design to ensure high resistance to weathering and has no moving parts that could fall off, break or freeze, which minimizes the need of periodic maintenance.

The Philippines could boost Thailand's rice sales as they expand their rice stocks ahead of their wet season. As stocks in the country dwindle, Thailand could reap the benefits.
However they have stated the will only purchase rice from private suppliers and not government agencies, claiming they wish to increase competitiveness.
The Philippines is one of the world's biggest importers of rice, which often comes from Thailand and Vietnam.
How the move away from government suppliers to the private sector will affect Thailand remains to be seen but it is expected that Thai rice will be sold to the Filipinos one way or another.
Good news for the country and its rice farmers.

Cockroaches are regular domestic and commercial pest. They are more commonly seen venturing at night as the seek food when the lights go out at a time when many of us go the bed. They are omnivorous feeders and will eat basically anything they feel is a food source to them, which makes cleaning household kitchens and bathroom areas a regular task to prevent numbers from occurring. The life cycle shown below shows the different stage of a cockroaches life and depending on the species will depend on the amount of numbers they can produce with each lying of an egg case and also how long the and fast the cycles will keep producing. Many species are different sizes and colours with the general most common (Australian and American Species) being larger and dark in colour. These two species may fly in the warmer months of the years.
They shelter in cracks and crevices when they rest as they like having the security of contacting surfaces above, below and around them. They may spend three – quarters of the day in this type of position. Cockroaches frequently groom themselves probably keep their sensory receptors clean and well functioning. Grooming consists of the antennae and legs being run through the mouthparts with a nibbling action. With a general spray being completed on a house, the cockroach will walk over the particles left by the spray and will die by ingestion, and will also die by direct contact to the pest's outer body parts.
German Cockroach
If you start to see large numbers of cockroaches during the day, it could often mean you have an infestation hiding somewhere. These types of cockroaches (German) are know for breeding in large numbers, anything up to 30 – 40 eggs per casing and a female can produce 5-8 cases of eggs in her 4-6 month adult life span. They are smaller then the normal household cockroach and light brown in colour. The will also hide like all other species of cockroaches in and around kitchens, in the appliances, cupboard doors, dishwashers etc. Bathrooms and in extremely bad situation through bedrooms and the rest of the property can also be attacked. They are a big invader of commercial kitchens in restaurants which poses a huge threat to food contamination and disease transmission. Early detection can lead to quicker results as the numbers that will need to be treated will be lower and ongoing treatment to prevent future problems is essential to prevent another problem starting all over again.

|home sweet home!
It was a nice and boxy house.
One day, Mother went grocery shopping. She came home to find Father and all the children in the kitchen with towels cleaning up water off the floor! This was not a good thing. Mother did not like it, not one little bit. Father said the pipe under the kitchen sink came loose, but he fixed it. They were just cleaning up the mess.
Mother smiled.
Until she took over cleaning up the water. Mother would wipe the water, and more water would come!
Mother frowned.
Mother told father she thought the dishwasher was leaking. Father did not believe her.
Mother frowned. She cleaned the water and left. She came back to find more water.
She told Father again that the dishwasher was leaking. He rolled his eyes but went to look.
The dishwasher was leaking.
Father fixed the dishwasher and all was well.
The very next week, Mother told Father she thought the pipe in the upstairs bathroom was leaking. There was a spot on the ceiling where water had once leaked a long time ago and Mother thought it looked bigger. Father did not believe her. Father took a picture of it, so he could show Mother later that it was exactly the same.
Mother did not believe Father.
That night, she went to bed. She didn't sleep well because she drank a coke at the movie theater. Coke keeps Mother awake at night.
In the morning, Little Sister woke bright and early. Mother was very tired, but got up anyway to make her breakfast. Mother walked across the floor of her room when...
Mother walked through a puddle of water on her bedroom floor!
Mother frowned. Mother was not happy. Father was wrong again.
Mother woke Father. Now Father was not happy, either.
Father began pulling up things in the bathroom upstairs to figure out what was leaking. Father thinks he may have found the leak. Maybe.
Father decides to check from below...
|drip drop
Now, Father gets to spend the long weekend fixing a ceiling and doing many other tasks Mother has picked up. Maybe next time, when Mother says she thinks something is broken, Father will listen right away!
Please let this be...

How to Date Chinese Girls - Dating Tips
Friday, September 2, 2011
Imagine that you are a foreigner living in China and want to befriend a beautiful Chinese girl.One should keep in mind that first impression is a very important step in your bet to win girl's heart.Tags: beautiful chinese girls , china , chinese girls , dating , dating tips , Featured , funny dating , girls photos , photo gallery
Here are the some points which you should remember while dating a Chinese girl:-
Here are the some points which you should remember while dating a Chinese girl:-
- First of all, don't be in a hurry.As the old Chinese saying puts: "If you're in a hurry, you cannot eat hot tofu". Same rule applies to Chinese girls – especially hot ones .
- Don't approach a girl in the street and ask for phone number as your second sentence after saying "Hello, …"Even if you are handsome as Brad Pitt – your playboy's attitude will not earn you points and the girl will possibly refuse by saying "Sorry, I don't know you. Why should I give you my number?"
- Don't stare at a girl whom you don't know. If you do so, it is not weird to hear in response like "Is there some problem with your neck?" or "What are you looking at? Did u never seen a beautiful in your past.
- Don't put yourself into trouble by arguing about Chinese politics. you might be unintentionally touch some sensitive topics which will make the girl feel bad.after all u don't want these rubbish topic will ruin your relationship.
- Important of all Don't buy expensive gifts before she is your girlfriend.This will surely pressure a girl and put her in uncomfortable situation thinking that she owes you something.
- Don't talk about your romantic past. Even save the spicy stories about one night stands of your male Friends. Most of the Chinese girls hate this.and naturally – when you date a Chinese girl – you should not wait for her to pay her own expenses.
Never cheat Chinese girls!!! they are frank and sincere and HATE to be cheated. If they catch you on cheating – you will never get her back.
Keeping these easy points in mind will help you in saving from many troubles..
I wish you for Happy Dating..

This is my Studio in Greenwich. It is one of a group of three shopfronts in a quiet suburban street. There is little foot traffic in the neighbourhood, though occasionally someone knocks at the door and wants to have a look at what I am doing. I sometimes have a conversation with the postman, but there is not much else happening around here to interrupt my work. I am lucky to have such a great place to work in. I have never liked working at home – I find the phone rings, and I answer it, or the washing up needs to be done, or I really should tidy the living room, and so I do those things rather than make my work. Here, there is no phone connected, and it doesn't matter to me if there is paper and mess everywhere.
Part of the studio is set aside for encaustic. I have a powerful extractor fan (the kind welders use) which is quite noisy, but does the job, and a stainless steel bench which makes cleaning up stray drips of wax easy and quick. I find when the extractor is on and I am concentrating on my work I forget about the noise. There is also a large storeroom in another part of the building where I can put all those bits and pieces I might use one day, but not right now.
My etching press, Blue Sky, is on castors, so that I can move it around the studio according to my needs.

With water retention landscapes, it is possible to provide enough freshwater for animals, plants and humans beings in every region of the world. Water is the key to a stable climate. A natural built reservoir that allows water to seep into the ground has a balancing effect on the climate. There is no life without water. We need to create natural, decentralised water landscapes, using retention methods to collect rain water and store it on the land to promote the growth of vegetation.
All around the planet the soil is drying out and water is being lost due to bad management of resources, centuries of intense and incorrect cultivation methods have resulted in the drying out of the land.
Contour lines and natural watercourses are a very valuable aid when designing a retention space. The first step is to look, to read the landscape, to recognise the contour lines, and how…

Dutch Socialists Push Back at Austerity
The Dutch Socialist Party, led by Emile Roemer, has soared in popularity ahead of elections next week. The party could significantly boost its presence in Parliament, challenging Europe's German-led austerity strategy for solving the euro-zone crisis. WSJ's Matthew Dalton reports.

Hi friends, welcome back to my confessions series.
Are you looking forward to the holiday season but find that each year it is full of hustle, bustle, and chaos?
I hear ya. That is why this year I am on a mission to bring Peace, Joy, and Love in my home.
Over the last few weeks you have probably been seeing me talk about A Season of Joy. I want this year to be one of the best, less stressed, Christmas seasons I have known.
One way that I am going to ensure that it happens to look for peace.
How does one look for peace?
Peace is something that I think we all view differently. For you that may be sitting at home with your family by firelight. For another family it may be going from house to house from holiday party to holiday party.
The truth is, there is no such thing as universal peace. We all must look inwardly to find just what it is that our hearts need to bring peace to our lives. The only way to achieve perfect peace is through Christ.
Each of us seek and serve our savior in different ways. That means that none of us will find peace in the same ways.
For me this year I want things to be different than they have years gone by.
Typically each year my husband and I compile a list of gift recipients and go on a shopping spree. This causes us stress over budgeting and deciding on what a person may or may not want.
Then we add in all of the decorating, parties to attend, and then homeschooling activities on top of it.
Friends, that is not my idea of peace.
My plan this year?
This year my husband has been hard at work creating gifts for each of our family members. These are not your typical home-made crafts.
My husband is a metal worker by trade and has been hard at work making metal art for those that we love. This has decreased our budget, increased our time together because we aren't out hitting the sales, and has ensured that each recipient will love their gift because it was crafted just for them.
We are not going to commit to more than 3 gatherings this year. That is 1/week after our daughters birthday. That means that we won't have to hurry around from place to place and can instead enjoy the warmth of our own home.
I am taking most of the month of December off from work!!! I am so excited about this one. While you will still see MTM around the enterwebs you won't be seeing as much new posts from me as you normally do.
Not working means that I can spend time in the kitchen with my children. I can snuggle up in bed watching movies with them, and we can spend our days having fun and not worrying if I can meet all the deadlines looming over my head.
What does peace look like for you?
Let me encourage you to look for peace in your own family this year. What does it look like for you? Do you need more time out of the house? Is spending more time in doors with your family your idea of a great night?
Whatever your idea of peace is make sure that you reclaim peace for yourself this year.
Don't forget, our Savior is The Prince of Peace. If you are struggling finding peace in your home and heart, seek Him and his guidance.

3. Pick up the new Playtex® Sport® Combo Pack at Walmart (found on endcaps next to feminine care aisle). If you are like me and dislike even moving around when it's that time of the month due to fear of leakage, then banish that fear with this pack. I like the Playtex® Sport® Combo Pack with Tampons and Liners (you can also opt for the combo with pads) because the Sport Level Protection™ keeps me comfortable and dry no matter what the activity.
No need to avoid hitting the gym or other exercise during that week. I can't tell you the countless times I calculate my activities (even snowboarding trips!) around that week of the month. Now I can rest easy knowing that I can move and groove to the music while being protected from leaks thanks to the Playtex® Sport® Combo Pack.
4. Set a Goal and Treat Yourself once met. I find it easier to have small goals that lead up to the ultimate goal. That way when you see some progress, you are motivated to trek forward. It's also nice if you have been eyeing something but can't take the plunge to buy it instantaneously. It's more rewarding to know that you are working toward your ultimate goal and rocking the bauble or even a sweet treat.
5. Sign up for a Marathon or Spartan Race. If you have an event on the calendar where you need to be in your top form, you will definitely be more motivated to get up and train. Even when competing in the shortest of races, you don't want to be at the end right? For me, I even want to be in the front for charity walks so I will do a half sprint/walk with my team. That's Hubs in the photo and I am determined to join one of these days!

With a rich arts and culture scene, a reputation for progressive politics, and some of the most sophisticated dining and shopping of any small city in the Southeast, it's not surprising that Asheville has such a vibrant gay pride celebration each year. The event known as Blue Ridge Pride takes place in early October - the date this year is October 1, 2016. And although the event is based in Asheville, it draws from throughout western North Carolina as well as across the border into eastern Tennessee.
The Blue Ridge Pride Festival takes place on Saturday, October 1, from noon until 6 pm, in downtown Asheville's Pack Square. The festival included a full day of musical performances, a fair with gay-friendly businesses (and a mechanical bull!), and booths showcases various community and statewide organizations.
There are also a number of events held around Asheville during the week leading up to Pride, which include a Pride Ice Cream Social at Hop Ice Cream Cafe on September 27, Pride Bowling Night at Sky Lanes on September 28, a Miss Blue Ridge Pride Beauty Pageant on September 29, a Pride in the Park celebration on Friday night, September 30 at downtown's Pack Square Park from 6 pm until 9 pm in the evening, and Pride After Parties at Scandal's and O'Henry's on Saturday, October 1. Here's a full calendar of parties and gatherings taking place throughout Asheville's Blue Ridge Pride week.
Asheville Gay Resources
Many Asheville gay bars as well as gay-popular restaurants, hotels, and shops have special events and parties throughout Pride Week. Check Q Notes gay newspaper, for more. Also, check out the excellent site produced by the Asheville Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Style of Play
Effective Oct 1, 2017. Added or updated rules are in blue.
Here at the Ice Oasis, we promote a different style of play than the typical hockey league. We give our referees the ability to speak to players to provide a safe environment for everyone to play in.
Ice Oasis follows USA Hockey Rules with its own amendments.
All leagues will use the 9-dot faceoff locations for all faceoffs. No more imaginary line faceoff locations.
Game Nights: All Leagues are co-ed.
- Tuesday Night League: Advanced (half-visor ok) (unlimited goals per player)
- Friday Night League: Intermediate/Advanced Mixed (half-visor ok) (3 goals per player max)
- Wednesday Night League: Upper Intermediate (half-visor ok) (unlimited goals per player)
- Thursday Night League: Intermediate (half-visor with mouth guard ok) (unlimited goals per player)

- Monday Night League: Beginner/Intermediate Mixed (full face-mask required) (3 goals per player max)
- Saturday Night League: Beginner (full face-mask required) (3 goals perplayer max)
Team rosters will be set by the league.
Eligible Players
- No drop-in or fill-in players allowed.
- Players must be registered with IOAH and rostered on a team in the league in which they are playing.
- Players must be paid in full.
- Any team attempting to use an ineligible player will forfeit the game.
- A player must play a minimum of five games to be eligible to play in the playoffs.
Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Night Leagues
Rostered players are allowed a maximum of 3 goals per game.
- Additional goals will be disallowed and the resulting face-off will occur in the neutral zone.
- A penalty shall be assessed if the referee feels the goal was scored to intimidate or "send a message."
- Any player who subs into a game that is not his/her own will be limited to one goal for the entire game. All additional goals scored will result in a face-off in the neutral zone.
Substitute Players
- Subs must be rostered in the league in which they are subbing.
- You must play your own game to be permitted to sub in another game the same night.
- Subs will be limited to one goal for the entire game, unless they are an odd-man sub who switches teams, in which case they may score once for each team. This rule applies to all nights except the Tuesday Night League.
- Subs will not be allowed to play in overtime. Subs must leave the ice before the overtime period begins.
- Subs will receive their jersey on the players' bench from the Zamboni driver. Subs shall not wait by the Zamboni doors.
Suspended Players
- Any player attempting to play while on suspension will cause their team to lose by forfeit. The team will also have two points removed from their league standings.
- If a player is assessed a suspension on a given night, that suspension must be completely served before the player may play any further hockey at the Ice Oasis. For example, you play both Tuesdays and Sundays and you're assessed a two game suspension on Tuesday night. You will not be allowed to play any hockey (league, rat hockey or skills classes) at Ice Oasis until you've served your complete suspension on Tuesdays.

FCC Call Center Volume Continues Dropping
The FCC's call center volume continues to drop as viewers settle in to the DTV transition.
According to an FCC spokeswoman, the DTV helpline took just under 63,000 calls on Sunday. That was after recording a one-day record of 317,000-plus on Friday, June 12, as stations were pulling the plug on analog.
Saturday saw a drop-off to just north of 145,000 calls.
The FCC really picked up the pace Sunday, with operators answering the phones within a minute according to several spot-checks.
As of 10 a.m. Monday, the commission had received only about 10,000 calls for the day, though it tends to pick up later after folks come home from work.

Tablas Creek Vineyard Vin de Paille Quintessence Paso Robles 2005
Tablas Creek, founded by the Perrin brothers of Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas of Vineyard Brands, produces organically farmed, estate-grown Rhone varietals and blends in the limestone clay soils of west Paso Robles.
Member Reviews for Tablas Creek Vineyard Vin de Paille Quintessence Paso RoblesAdd your review
Very nice red Rhone blend from Paso's Tablas Creek. Still bright and lively, with crushed plum, black cherry, a touch of earthiness and a hint of spice on the back end. Very good acidity and a medium to long finish.
Milk chocolate and flower aromas. Meaty, chocolate, and black cherry flavors. Lots of roasted her, grilled meat, and plum emerge as the wine opens up in both the aromas and flavors. Acidity and emerging minerality add complexity to the fruit.
This is a very nice wine. I have shared it with friends and we just love it!

by Doc Wacholz
In April 2011, we saw one of the worst tornado outbreaks ever in the Southeast. On April 27th alone, there were 208 tornadoes with four being EF5's tearing across hundreds of miles of the countryside, killing hundreds of people and destroying hundreds of millions of dollars in property across six states. This was the catalyst (amongst other things) to build a storm/ shelter/root cellar/bunker.
This is not the easiest way or maybe the best way to build a shelter, but it worked well for me and my budget. First I live in a region of the country where I have hills to dig into. So I choose a location near the house, not too far away, in close running distance.
I dug out (with my tractor) a twenty-foot wide swatch and twenty-foot back into the side of the mountain. I left the bottom of the hole about eighteen inches above the valley ground level, that is in front of the hole. This will help keep any water flowing into the valley, out of the structure area. To also help aid in water drainage, I cut a shovel wide trench above the structure area, so water coming from the ridge above is diverted away.
Digging around the perimeter of my newly dug hole, where the "survival shelter" was to be built, I added a French drain. A French drain is basically a shallow trench with 6" septic drainage pipe, with holes on the top that allows the water to flow down and out. A nylon sock encompassed the pipe to keep debris and dirt out of it. This trench was dug where with a downgraded outflow. This French drain will direct water away from the structure and down into the valley. I then added about 8 inches of rock over the drain and in the area where the shelter was to be placed. This again allows for better drainage of water from under and around the structure.
I contacted a local concrete septic tank builder and explained what I was doing. With a few pencil sketches of my shelter, he was able to add extra reinforcement steel where needed and vent holes for incoming and outgoing air. He placed a four-inch vent hole at the bottom the left front corner for incoming air and one at the top right front corner for outgoing air. He also took the time to Dam Tight the bottom of the tank for me at no extra charge.
The 10 foot by 6 foot by 6 foot high, 1500 gallon tank cost $750. delivered in place. The tank came in two pieces and weighed a total of twelve thousand pounds. The halves pieced together with a V groove and some thick rubber sticky material that acted as a seal all the way around. I added hydraulic cement on the seam to help waterproof it a bit more. Before I cut the doorway, I put two coats of Dam Tight and three coats of rubber roofing material on four sides and the rooftop.
I rented a concrete saw, and then cut a doorway into the structure, leaving the bottom of the door four inches above the shelter floor. Again helping keep any water from coming in. The thickness of the tank is four inches, with rebar and wire throughout the structure. "A car could drive over this structure with no problem", according to the maker. Not that we are going to try it, but adding dirt to the roof does add weight so this was a bit reassuring.
Building the door took a little planning. I utilized four-foot by eight foot, 1/8" thick steel plates that would rise two feet above the roof line. The steel door hole cut would be 1 inch bigger all the way around than the hole cut into the concrete structure. This way when the door closes, it will have a tight rubber seal to close on. I considered using a ¼ inch steel plate, but the weight would have been twice the 1/8 inch steel which still weighs 300 pounds or better. The inside lock has not been welded but will be done near the end of the project. There is an outside door lock welded on already. The door will be Red Headed to the concrete structure.
Before backfilling, I added pink foam for a little insulation on the back and sides with Liquid Nails. Now the backfilling begins. At the point, I took the pictures, with the back and sides being filled in. Once the door is in place I will place 4-inch by 4 inch PT posts stacked upright behind the door, on the roof, so the dirt has a place to stop.
That is why the door is two feet higher than the roofline. The dirt on top of the roof will be approximately four foot deep on the back side and two foot on the front side to keep the slope of the ridge the way it was. Of course, these 4 x 4 posts will be nailed, screwed and glued together as this holding wall is built. By the deadline of this article, I really don't know if this structure will be complete, due to rain, snow and the cold, but I will entail the rest of my plans like I just did.
Before backfilling the roof, it will have insulation, plastic material plus roofing material that will help keep water off the roof and direct it one foot or better past the sides of the shelter. This will be in place before I backfill the roof area. Backfilling the space above the roof and behind the structure will take nearly 83 cubic yards of dirt. I guess I made the hole a bit bigger than I really needed. Small oversight I'm sure you can correct!
With the door in place and the 4 x 4 lumber on, and the roof backfilled, now comes the front of the structure. I will do the same type retaining wall (as on the roof) on the sides of the door. I choose the same wood, 4-inch by 4 inch PT posts that will stack upright and go six feet out from the structure. These wood retaining walls will be on each side of the door, attached to the door and will hold dirt that will be covering up the front of the structure.
Utilizing the septic manufacturer again, he pours these two foot by two foot by four-foot wide concrete reinforcement blocks that weigh one ton each. I plan on stacking this four-foot out away from the structure. These will be stacked three high, making a six-foot high wall in front of my structure. Sure this is overkill, but that is my middle name! After these blocks snug up against my 4 by 4 wood retaining walls alongside the doors, I will backfill that area with dirt. This will give me a 2-foot thick concrete barrier with 4 feet of dirt in front of my structure. Of course, I will paint the concrete blocks to match the surrounding foliage. When this is complete I will grow grass and ivy on the roof area to help keep the soil in place and blend and bushes in the front to hide it.
Now for the inside, I choose a thin layer of insulation for the ceiling and walls. This will keep the echoes down inside plus keep from getting a knot on the head when I stand up! For the floor, I like the industrial rubber floor mats, as the dirt falls below the mat through the holes. As for the ventilation, I am exploring several options with no decision made yet.
Of course, by now, I have all the necessary survival food, gear and tools in place and ready to move in. So we don't get a tornado…we don't have a mass extinction event…now I have a great root cellar and a fort for my 5-year-old to play in. All in all, it costs about $2000 and some diesel fuel for my tractor to build. Not bad…for an old country boy in the mountains!

Put the bean sauce, honey, rice wine, light soy sauce, one tablespoon peanut oil, brown sugar, dark soy sauce garlic and ginger into a bowl and stir to combine. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover the bowl, refrigerate and leave to marinate for a minimum of one hour and as long as overnight.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat, making sure the grates have been brushed clean and lightly oiled before cooking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Reserve the marinade, transfer to a small pan and bring to a boil for five minutes. Set aside.
Divide and thread the chicken onto the four bamboo skewers, five to six pieces of chicken per skewer. Grill the chicken on each side until charred, about two minutes. Turn the heat down to medium and place the green beans on the grill alongside the chicken skewers, basting the chicken and beans with the reserved marinade. Continue turning and basting every couple minutes until the outside edges are glazed and sticky and the chicken is cooked through; 10 to 12 minutes total. Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with the chillis.

Second, not that there wasn't any kind of warning, but the fact that the water was completely shut off during freezing temps was a little off-putting. Reason being - it's not nearly as easily to pull up everything, hitch up your rig, and refill water/empty sewer in the winter time. Not to mention, it's cold! For $220/week, we would have appreciated the ability to use the water providing we supplied our own heat tape, which we gladly would have. Unfortunately, that wasn't an option. We even offered to sign a waiver stating that we would replace the water bib should it freeze due to the fault of our equipment. Again, completely understandable, but for an RV resort open and located near world class skiing, we would have like to see full services offered.
Lastly, we found it a bit difficult having mail delivered to the office. We aren't sure if it was the fact that they weren't properly equipped or didn't know how to handle packages, etc, but most other places we've stayed have no issue with long term renters having mail, etc, delivered to the park if they are staying longer lengths of time. Again, granted, we didn't stay for more than ten days, but we did have to have some things for the RV shipped and it was the best option.
Those are really the worst things. All in all, the park had a lot of things we really enjoyed and would have liked to stay longer. Because of the lack of water hookups and no option for sewer either, we opted to leave earlier than we had originally intended. The park itself is in a great location and, as we found out during our stay, is under new management. We are hoping that improvements have been and will continue to be made. We haven't been back since, so we don't much more at this point.
|Our crew at Squaw Valley
We had the opportunity to meet and talk with the new manager prior to our leaving and he seemed like he was very anxious to make improvements to the park as well as their reputation. After bringing to his attention the items from this post as well as a few other suggestions for revenue-increasing improvements, he assured us that he would be taking our suggestions to the ownership of the property and hopefully getting some changes in motion. We are eager to revisit again (maybe not during the winter) and see if the other seasons are more in line with what we expected. We suspect they will be much better prepared during the normal peak camping season....

Do you have any shoes that have gotten super dirty and think they can't be saved? Do you dread having to buy your kids more shoes because they are so muddy and hate cleaning them?
Being a mom and coach of baseball, it never fails that my tennis shoes get dirty. Really dirty… with Red Georgia Clay from the field, or mud, or grass. Every year I try to have an extra pair of shoes just for the field.
Sometimes it is just not possible to have an extra pair of shoes. Years ago, my arch collapsed and planters fasciitis set in, so it became imperative to have good shoes, especially when I am on my feet in the dugout or running drills with the boys on the field. These shoes are so expensive, I was forced to find a way to clean them.
My favorite cleaning trick is whitening toothpaste and an old toothbrush! It works wonders on solid leather tennis shoes.
If your shoes are solid leather, when you rinse them, the inside of the shoes will not get wet. Look at the difference when I scrubbed one side of my shoe with the whitening toothpaste and an old toothbrush. These were my "baseball shoes" from a year ago, so this is not fresh dirt…it still came off and looks like NEW.
Recently, due to new problems in my feet, I was forced to get a different kind of tennis shoe. They have mesh on the sides and top, so when I tried to wash the soles using the toothbrush and toothpaste, the inside of the shoe got wet. Not good. I had to find a new way to clean them….
Perfect Example: Yesterday, the family and I went to the ballfield to practice hitting and fielding. I love to get out there with them and run around. We have had so much rain here, the outfield was like a marsh pit. The soles of my shoes got so packed with mud (since they are my only athletic shoes now) I had to do something.
I scraped off as much dirt outside as I could, but still my shoes were a mess. I found 2 Foil Lasagna pans in my kitchen that I had never used, and put them to work. Don't worry, I won't be using them now for Lasagna! I put some hot water (just enough to cover the bottom) and a squirt of Dawn Dishwashing Detergent. I swished around the detergent until it produced some bubbles and put a shoe in each pan. I was careful not to get the water too high in the pan so the inside of my shoes would get wet.
I soaked them for about 20 minutes and was pleased to find that most of the dirt had come off and out of those pesky little grooves on the sole of the shoe. I still used my toothbrush to scrub out the dirt in those tiny places. My shoes were so dirty and packed with field dirt (mud really) that my shoes required a second soak. Overall, I am pleased with the results. I was able to remove about 99% of it. Not bad since my shoes were really bad off.
What you will need:
- An old tshirt to wear because if you are using any brush to scrub, there is a good chance it's going to splatter
- For good solid Leather shoes, you will need a spare tube of Whitening Toothpaste and an old toothbrush: Please don't use the same tube of toothpaste to brush your teeth with. This tube of toothpaste will be declared, "For Cleaning Only" as will the toothbrush. Eek! Lol!
- Two Foil Lasagna pans that you can find in any grocery store. I like them because they are bendable and you can bend the pan to get to the parts of the shoe that need it most.
- Paper Towels
- HOT water. Fill it with just enough to cover the bottom of the pan and to the desired height to surround the sole of the shoe.
- Dawn dishwashing detergent. I added a squirt in each pan and stirred with my fingers to produce the bubbles. This solution will break up the dirt in the little grooves of the bottom of the shoe.
- A toothbrush. A great tool to use for those tiny, hard to reach places.
- After scraping as much dirt off outside that you can, let the sole of the shoes soak for about 10-15 minutes, check and see what dirt has been loosened or falling off. My shoes were so bad, I needed a second soak. I would not recommend leaving your nice shoes in for a super long period of time as it is not good for the rubber soles.
My kids have always appreciated when I can work on their dirty, yucky, shoes and give them new life. As they get older, it is something they can work on, too. With a lot of desire, and a little bit of effort, it is always rewarding to make something feel and look new again.

A System Reset
George: Hello, Ramji.
I met you in Atlanta last November, although I read your first book a while ago. Since November I've watched the YouTube series on self-inquiry and am just finishing the 2012 videos series on the Gita. As for so many of my friends who are ex-students of Andrew Cohen, Vedanta and your clear expression of those teachings has been a godsend. In Atlanta I told you these were the teachings I've been waiting for my whole life, and you replied there would be no need to look elsewhere. With every video the inquiry deepens and I know without a doubt that you are correct.
I've been searching for my self my entire life, consciously since I was 19 years old, and have accumulated a huge amount of spiritual baggage. Vedanta is causing a "system reset," and everything is now in question. Today the image came to mind that ignorance is like a block of ice and Vedanta is the sun. My "job" is to simply stand aside and let the warmth of the sun do its job. There has been a longing for something that has always been interpreted in terms of some type of experience but slowly, slowly it's beginning to dawn on me that that longing has to do with knowledge, not experience, and if I simply expose myself, that block of ice, to these teachings, the ice will melt and dissolve, and my heart's desire will be realized. "I" am only a thought and "my life" only a dream…
Although we've only met once, I consider you my teacher and friend and I hope you will accept me as your student. Thank you for this gift and may Bhagavan shower you with blessings.
Ramji: Lovely to hear from you, George. Appreciation is always appreciated. I enjoyed your email very much, particularly the "system reset" and the "block of ice" metaphors. Vedanta is definitely a system reset. Very few "spiritual" people are interested in it because it challenges most of the popular assumptions about liberation. The modern spiritual world is all about changing one's experience rather than understanding why one is dissatisfied with one's experiences in the first place. Self-knowledge melts the icy block of ignorance that keeps spiritual samsara alive. Yes, I accept you as my student, assuming that I get all the credit for your successes and none of the blame for your failures. ☺ See you soon!

Here at Britannia Pink and Jones, we realise how important it is for our customers to have a seamless process when it comes to all things storage. Easy access, convenience and a peace of mind were all taken into consideration when we designed our highly versatile self-storage centre.

We have a number of containers that facilitate your requirements and help in keeping your items safe and secure. You will be the sole key holder for your container. And we promise that with our prime security measures, your items are safe and can only be accessed by you whenever you feel the need.
You can be rest assured that our staff at the facility is at hand to help and assist you in anyway. But of course, our secure facility for self storage in Wellingborough is available when you need it and your container is easily accessible. All you need to do is sign in at reception and your container can be accessed without any time limits. You can also be rest assured that we have the very best in temperature control at the facility, so your possessions will never be affected by moisture or mold.
When people generally think of Storage, it is often associated with moving home and finding a service that allows you to leave your goods whilst the paperwork goes through. However, storage needn't be just for movers. Take a look below at some of the other reasons why people use storage.
It is common to find that the garage is often the first port of call when it comes to storage. Over time, the clutter builds and builds, preventing you from using your garage from its intended purpose! However, many people now turn to storage services to free up the garage, so it can be used to park the car, especially during the winter months….
We all know that specialist sports equipment can be very expensive. And leaving them at home can damage their longevity – especially if in the wrong hands. Storing your prized golf clubs, ski equipment and many others ensure that they not only stay in prime condition, but also mean that they won't take up too much space in the household.
If you know you will be undergoing an extension to your property or any other work, then storing your goods during this time ensures that they stay and secure. The last thing you want is having other rooms within the household getting clogged up. Finding alternative self-storage options in Wellingborough may be your solution whilst the work is carried out.
Find out more about self storage in Wellingborough with Pink & Jones, by giving us a call today! The number to dial is 01536 211 166 or email firstname.lastname@example.com!

Luxembourg Gardens has a beautiful garden in the summer filled with colorful flowers. But there are more than beautiful flowers to be admired. I love people watching and this is the place! There are people playing tennis, kids playing tag, older couples reading newspapers, and my favorite the men playing chess. So take a moment to admire the chess players of Paris.

Darren Dageforde, executive director of utilities and energy utilization for UNMC, said the med center has already made great strides in reducing its energy use and increasing efficiency. "Having a renewable energy source on campus demonstrates our commitment to being carbon neutral by 2030 and parallels our mission to create a healthy future for all individuals and communities." This solar installation is expected to be the largest rooftop system in Nebraska, said Jared Friesen of Morrissey Engineering, which designed the project. Read more here.

OPPD To Consider Updating Plant Decommissioning Method
Due to the great strides made by Omaha Public Power District employees in the decommissioning of Fort Calhoun Station (FCS), the utility will consider a timely, more economical approach. In a presentation shared with the OPPD Board of Directors during their committee meetings Tuesday, the district's senior management team provided the option of shifting from the SAFSTOR (safe storage) decommissioning method to DECON (decontamination) . . . DECON has the potential to save the utility up to an estimated $200 million, due to reduced building maintenance and upkeep.

The staff members of the Office of Interreligious Dialogue and Cooperation (IRDC) of the World Council of Churches (WCC) as well as their colleagues from the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue (PCID), held their annual meeting at the PCID Offices, Jan 30-31.
While expressing their appreciation for the opportunity to meet a few days after the conclusion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, both delegations gave thanks to God for their friendship and fruitful cooperation in promoting constructive relations with individuals and communities belonging to other religious traditions.
The priority of the meeting's agenda was to discuss and to deliberate upon a proposed joint document on Education for Peace, following similar joint projects in the past.
It was followed by the exchange of news and views on their respective activities over the past year and planned activities.
Both the PCID and the IRDC agreed to continue their collaboration, in particular, the work relating to the joint document on Education for Peace, given the urgency of the matter in today's global context.

Julianna Baggott, an amazingly prolific and bestselling writer of prose fiction, has published eighteen titles in the last ten years using three pen names: her own, under which she wrote her national-bestselling debut novel Girl Talk, among other titles, and her brand new novel Pure; Bridget Asher, under which she wrote The Pretend Wife, again among other novels; and N.E. Bode, the pen name she uses for her younger readers. She has also published poems in Poetry, American Poetry Review, and other prestigious journals.
Baggott's poetry collection, This Country of Mothers, published by Crab Orchard Award Series in Poetry, at Southern Illinois University Press, in 2001 and about to be released as an e-book, reads like a memoir-in-poems divided into four phases: her own conception and birth, her growth from girlhood into sexual awareness, the birth of her children and her miscarriage, and her end-of-life care-taking for aging parents. Throughout these poems she seems to have plunged beneath the surface of motherhood, through the banal details and her received cultural conceptions, and into the vivid psychological reality of it. Once beneath that surface she fixes herself at a certain depth and voice, maintaining an unvarying distance from her subject. Readers — especially if they are male — might be given the sense of having a privileged, inside view, almost as though she has put a camera lens into her snorkel and taken us along on this dive.
Baggott occasionally turns her view upward, seeing that cultural surface of motherhood, particularly as it is shaped by her Catholic upbringing, from underneath, from her perspective as an actual giver-of-birth. "Maybe if we could see…her face contorted with pain,/the cords of her neck/ taut and blue,/ then we might believe Joseph,/ and how he must have said/ I can see the head;/ it's glowing." Occasionally she turns her gaze downward toward an abyss. "..was she in love with what she couldn't have?…Yesterday, a woman belted her children/ into highchairs and lit gasoline-soaked/ dishrags…" But for the most part she keeps it fixed straight ahead, staring into her own experience.
And it is when she is describing her own experience that Baggott seems to take the biggest risks and gets the biggest imaginative payoffs. Here she is describing herself at her own conception: "…I am swelling/ and waiting, a ticking egg, a twisting tail, a/ fly smashing against bright glass."
The theme of being a vessel that life passes through unifies the three sections as in the poem "First Time," in which she describes the loss of her virginity: "… I thought of my own/ uterus, tight and small as a pear, the broken/ seal of it, and what could now take root,/ stumped arms, bowed legs, the squalling/mouth and hollow head of a sinful child…" Later in "What I Told the Jehovah's Witness" she writes, "when I was young and fucking sweetly" and it recalls this image of that vessel of her body as a fruit. Even the birth control pills "rattling in their plastic capsules" are inside wombs.
There is no denying Baggott's imaginative gifts: the moments of new and strange insights into what it means to be a giver-of-birth come fast and furious.
—Rimas Blekaitis
Coming Home at Seventeen
In his father's roadster, I remember
our exposed radio-lit bones,
……………………………………our pearly oils
tinged red with blood,
how the car, sealed shut, filled with steam
so like a bathroom pumped with hot shower water
I could only think
of my mother,
………………..rocking me on the tub's edge,
my throat constricted with midnight croup,
each cough ringing my ribs,
my own voice
………..an animal bark and moan,
until slowly my throat opened again,
my body went slack
…………………………with something near sleep,
my hand a tiny pink star
……………………………..on her sagging breast.
He drove me home past unwashed churches,
seam-rusted silos, a man caught in his headlights,
shoveling a raccoon from the roadside.
At home, I stood in her flower patches,
name-tagged like school children,
white plastic posts marked with laundry pen.
The basement's bare bulb
…………………………………shined through the window wells;
and the dark house, belly-lit,
seemed to hover
……………………..just above earth like a spaceship.
My father lingered underground,
wide fingertips running over
the greased gears of his clocks.
Through the open upstairs windows,
where curtains billowed like veils,
…………………………………….I could hear my mother
from their bed, calling his name, calling.
I waited for the house to heave from earth
in a whir
…………of clipped grass and shingles,
dust-ruffles and splintered wood.
My father pulled the chain
……………………………on the basement bulb,
and turned on the front porch light—
in the slow dilation of morning
………………………………….it burned
like a golden pear, like fruit on fire.
First Pregnancy
I could not believe a child.
Instead, I envisioned a landscape,
an ocean turning in on itself,
a moving mountain, a field
that could fold and unfold,
my body overtaken by a living map.
Even once when her hand appeared
from the other side—
a five-fingered hand print
as clear as a preschooler's plaster mold—
I could not accept the benediction.
Like Thomas, I am hard-hearted.
I need the body, to watch Jesus
eat the white fish,
pick his teeth with its bones,
my hands caked in his blood.
After the Miscarriage
I try not to think that heaven is memory.
The baby knew nothing
………………………..but the dark waters
and enveloping sky of my body,
my blood's prattle, the solecisms
of my heart,
……………..its own heart
pumping the first sips of blood,
its weightless stirring.
Instead I envision the flowers I now tend like children,
how they bend in the wind, even at night
as we make love, the way they sway darkly lit.
But the baby is always there,
imagine, the size of a thumb, swimming,
lit now from within,
……………………..its body glimmering
beneath shiny skin,
the image not of the bloom's sheath
left to dry out, frail and crisp,
but the unsteady flower's head, a ghost,
forever bobbing, dazed above it.

Wow, these are breathtaking!!
Love these. But especially the "fruit on fire" and that watching and waiting feeling after the chaotic overly present start of the piece. Beautiful. Thanks.
