This year's local Walk to End Alzheimer's will take place starting at 9 a.m. Saturday at Taylor Field in Harrisburg. Nearly 235 people from the Southeastern Illinois area are expected to attend this year's event to raise awareness and funds to fight Alzheimer's disease, the nation's sixth leading cause of death.
The annual walk takes place throughout September and October in nearly 600 communities across the nation. The Harrisburg walk will involve raffles, free food and musical entertainment by Harrisburg Mayor Eric Gregg, who moonlights as a DJ for local events.
The Alzheimer's Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's is a united movement to reclaim the future for millions. Participants will join hundreds of others in at least a 1-mile walk and will learn more about Alzheimer's disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical trial enrollment and support programs and services of the Alzheimer's Association, according to a prepared release by the Alzheimer's Association.
Each walker will also join in a meaningful tribute ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease.
Those interested in participating may start or join a team today at alz.org/walk or by calling (618) 985-1095. Local organizer Janice Aldridge can also be reached at (618) 841-4210 for additional information.
Aldridge, who participates in a variety of charitable work in the area, became involved in the Alzheimer's Walk when her mother was diagnosed with the illness in 2001.
"It's really hard on the family," Aldridge said. "Just paying for caregiving to keep them at home is a burden."
The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. Since 1989, the Alzheimer's Association mobilized millions of Americans in the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk and now the Alzheimer's Association is continuing to lead the way with Walk to End Alzheimer's.
An estimated 5.4 million Americans are currently living with the disease and someone develops the disease every 68 seconds, according to the release.
Aldridge is encouraging anyone who is interested to show up for registration at 9 a.m. Saturday, even if they haven't been able raise many funds for the association. Simply getting the community involved and raising awareness is important to the organization.
"If you do nothing, nothing ever changes," Aldridge said.
The Alzheimer's Association is the world's leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's research, care and support. According to the release, their mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research, along with providing and enhancing care and support for all affected and to reducing the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.

Comments: I was in the market for an intermediate to advance level skate. I was set on Bauer XR4s but could not find any in my size. Seeing as I couldn't find a similar skate from that brand in my price range, I broadened my search and began looking around and stumbled onto Alkali. I found these CA5s at a great price. I began looking at the features and they were very comparable to the XR4s. I read some reviews and decided to give them a shot. I'm so glad I did. I am completely happy with these skates. They're fast, sturdy, and comfortable. From all the skates that I looked at, these offered the best features in the price range (e.g. Tongue thickness, bearings, wheels, boot construction).
The only "problem" is the wheels are soft indoor wheels and I play outdoors on smooth concrete so I had to buy a set of outdoor wheels. Other than that, I can't complain and I would definitely recommend these to everyone...except for people I play against. Lol.
From: Humberto, Temecula, CA
Comments: Going from a Hi-Lo setup to all 80's was kind of a weird transition but after one practice day it felt normal. I personally like the all 80 setup now. The skates are great out of the box. I didn't bake them, I'll just break them in naturally. They are really comfortable. 5/5
From: John, Covina, CA
Comments: After having to return my new CA5's because they were too small, the replacement size 9.0's showed up yesterday. I wear a 9.5 street shoe. According to the sizing chart I should wear an 8.0 size skate...my big toe crammed up against the 8.0 skate toe. I guess Alkali skates don't really follow the sizing chart...just be aware they run small. The 9.0s fit perfectly. Thanks IW for your free skate return policy!!! I baked the skates and wore them for about 30 minutes. The boot wasn't soft enough after the initial 9 minutes...so I baked them a second time for an additional 4 minutes using the same process. That did the trick! JUST BE CAREFUL! Check the boots during the process. The temp inside my oven may not be calibrated perfectly. After fitting them, they felt great...now I can't wait to skate in them!
From: Scott, Prunedale, CA
Comments: Finally, a skater friendly skate. I followed Alkali's baking instructions on youtube and I'm impressed. Heel and ankle lock I found superb. Gone are other skates, "Bump" or "Bloody Ankle" I was supposed to, "Get used to." The quality built chassis and angled boot made my feet more responsive, and faster. Boot is top shelf quality. I'm a believer. Buy them. Period.
From: The Jackal, Pacifica, CA
Comments: I bought these because they seemed like a great price for all the features and they look sick. I was not disappointed. They really do look and feel awesome. There's a lot of protection and they are pretty comfortable after they are broken in. I love the stance and wheel set-up, I feel that they have helped improve my speed a lot. I actually was riding on these to work every day during summer (on separate outdoor wheels) and they have held up very well. I just finished my first season of using them in games and the wheels they came with are still in decent shape too. I highly recommend these skates and I'm definitely going to stick with the Alkali brand. You get so much more for the price than with the Tours and Missions I've had in the past.
From: Jeff, Sacramento, CA
Comments: great skates very light broke in during first play I'm a bigger player and the skates are the best the stock wheels could use a upgrade but other than that a+++++++
From: Dustin
Comments: These skates are awesome. Got the Mission A5's a few months before...needless to say I had to buy these and they are worth the money. Super comfortable and fast. Did take some time to get used to the 80mm wheel set up and I think acceleration is a little slower than the hi-lo but i would say top speed is better. Overall quality skate and well made.
From: Brad
Comments: Comments:Awesome skate. Broke in quickly after baking for the nine minutes. Boot forms well to the foot and I love the heel angle for aggressive skating. The one thing I would change about this skate is the wheels. I used the Labedas it came with for about four games and they were nearly toast on the second one. I weigh about 220lbs so it was bound to happen with such a soft wheel. Other than the wheels the skate is amazing. I would definitely buy another pair if these wore out. I give them a solid 9 out of 10; 10 out of 10 if I didnt have to replace the wheels.
From: Tim, WA
Comments: Wow, these skates are incredible. Great looking, super fast, best skates i've owned. It took a while for me to break them in, but I went from a pair of skates i'd had for 10 years to these babies. I play on an indoor "court" that has a concrete floor which rips up the labedas it comes with a little too fast for me as i weigh 190lbs, so I switched to labeda 76MM 80A and they are perfect.

"I purchased this shoe in orange and I got soooooo many compliments!. This shoe is true to size, walks great, and is not too high. The only problem I had was when my feet swelled; then they were a litle too tight. Also, don't put lotion on the bottom of your feet when you wear these shoes because your feet will slide through the toe and it is very painful. Other than that, you will love this shoe."

Some of the DT team were hanging out at a house party on the upper east side recently when we realized one of our comrades form Japan, KOOan Okawa (a local NYC taste-maker who's won awards for his contributions to fashion design and currently works with legendary artists and rising stars in the music world), was wearing Coca-Cola jeans. What does that mean, you ask? Does Coca Cola make jeans? No, not really. But in Korea, for some reason, these were manufactured by a brand called Alice. And we love them. Check them out below.

A Tainaiste told me that archeology "haults progress" by excavating and it'd be more use protecting the local snails.
Comment #1224737 by Ciarán D. FitzGerald
Read the article where this comment appeared:
Dead treasure hunter's loot of 899 artefacts returned to Irish museum
The items came to light following a tip-off from the British Museum to the National Museum of Ireland.
Comment thread:
The axe and the spearhead are important as is the distribution pattern of the "gun money" , the rest is little more than trash ….
Agree with that sentiment completely Keith ;
I was using the term "trash" in an archaeological context, of course I welcome its return and the British Museum deserve credit in this case ; one wonders how our museum didn't spot this.
just to qualify "trash" above. To an archaeologist coins' most important function is not their notional value but their ability to date a layer of archaeology. The fact that these have been hacked out of the ground with no reference to location or depth etc. renders them "trash". Context is everything in Archaeology.
youre right about the british musiem at least they were interested enough to notify someone in Ireland about the legality of purchasing them first , the same place is full of stolen goods !!!, the archaeological finds do have more than metalic value they are cultural treasures when stolen and sold on they lose the true intrinsic historical value I remember the attitude if one govt minister eho referred to work being stopped for a few owld pots when a huge find in the Tara highway slowed the earthmovers while a couple of interested people took as many out without breaking them before the road covered them, I found a pair of coins rent tokens from1605 and 1608 they have littlte monetary value though they hold a wealth of information on what was going on in the area in the 1600s
Of course you are right preachain butthe problem with these coins is that all they tell us is that they were found in Ireland ; "trash" was a wrong word but archaeologically we have other and in many ways finer examples.
The finest artefact I have ever seen was made of wood it was a horizontal mill wheel ; one look and you knew that man has not got more intelligent he has merely improved and adapted technology. It was the first ever found anywhere ; priceless totally priceless !

By Richard ShawPublisher Sun Advocate
> Some people collect coins, stamps and bottles. My wife, she collects names. Yup, names. She has notebooks full of names and her computer also has a huge file.
This may seem like an odd activity, but not if you are her. You see her given name is a bit odd, and she feels empathy for people whose parents named them something out of the ordinary.
That's because her name, Chryrell, I mean Cheryl, I mean Shryle, no I mean Cheryll, no I mean Sherill (geez I finally got it right) is unusual enough that people often misspell it even when she tells them how to spell it. Sometimes they even think she is a guy, because hers is one of the male spellings for that name.
"People don't realize what they do to their kids when they either give them names with strange spellings or odd names," she said on Sunday morning as she pored over the upstate papers obituary sections on their websites with paper pad in hand. "It is difficult going through life with a name like that."
I know a little about that. My name being Richard certainly is very common and almost everyone can spell it. But my nick name. Rick, combined with Shaw, (Rickshaw) has cost me a lot of Oriental taxi cab jokes over the years. Name combinations are almost just as bad as strange spellings. During my teen years I knew this guy who went to another high school named Harry Pitts and he and I thought about starting a club for people with names like ours. But we never did.
Anyway back to my wife's propensity to collect names. I asked her what she was going to do with the list, and she said she wasn't sure, but certainly she will never write a book about them, because of all people, she would not want to spread the names she has found over the years so others could use them.
Actually it took me a long time to spell her name right too, even though we were married. I would spell it Sherrill or Sherril and she would see it and the hell I got, I deserved. Now I know I sometimes get people's names in the paper wrong when I write articles, and I profusely apologize for it, because it is not intentional. But if you get your wife's name wrong, you probably deserve the 30 lashes you get for being so dumb.
Anyway, she keeps the list somewhat secret. I have seen it, but I had to sign a confidentiality agreement to not divulge any of the spellings there. So I will not repeat some of the strange names and spellings she has found in articles, obituaries, wedding announcements and on the internet over the years. But I mainly am not repeating any of them because one persons idea of a strange name or spelling, well, is another persons name. It's kind of like your family. You can cuss them all you want, but let someone else outside the family cuss them, and hell will be paid. So I won't go there.
One of her prime sources of new odd spellings is the baby pages in various community newspapers. We get a lot of different papers sent to our office and I sometimes bring home spellings she can add to her list. She finds that many of today's parents are doing an outstanding job of causing confusion in the future of their child's lives. I guess to be different today, people have resorted to lots of y's for the traditional i's, u's for o's, sh's for c's, etc. etc. etc.
One of the things I have been yelled at the most about while I have worked at the paper is misspelling kids' names, whether it has to do with an event they are in, a sport they are playing or a theatrical production they are involved with.
Judging by what my wife is finding, I am glad I will be retired from the newspaper business when these newly named infants hit high school.
That's because there will be a lot more yelling over misspelled names than ever.

Bomber Fat Free Shad Crankbaits
The Bomber Fat Free Shad is one of the most value packed crankbaits on the market today. By design, these crankbaits are one of the most efficient baits made. That means that while the profile of the lure is big and bulky, the cross-section is narrower which allows the big bill to get them down quick and deep with minimal effort.
This design also creates a wide but fast wobble that you can feel all the way to your elbow when you retrieve the lure. The wobble causes the built-in rattles to create an underwater sound wave that will really piss-off big bass. All these crankbaits have a beautiful, light reflective finish that will attract a lot of attention and generate more bites.
When the Fat Free Shad gets bit, you can be confident that the hooks will bite and hold since all these baits come equipped with the exclusive Excalibur Rotating Treble Hook. These are mean hooks. They are super-sharp right out of the box and have a rotating design that bites deep so you will lose fewer fish and boat more limits. The 3/4 ounce size will dig down as much as 16 or more feet on a long cast with light line. The 1/2-ounce bait will run 12 or more feet deep.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I have been fishing the Fat Free Shads for close to 30 years. I own them in sizes from the BD4 to a few of the BD8's. Mostly though I fish the BD6's that get down 8 to 12 ft. Over the years I probably have caught well over a thousand bass on these lures. I have my favorites which include the Pearl White, Citrus Shad and a color that I can't divulge because it hasn't been made since Bomber bought Excalibure Lures. When I find that color lure on Ebay I do my best to buy or win the bid on it. The smaller lures in that color isn't hard to get but that one in the BD6 size is really getting hard to find so normally when you find it you better be prepared to give a premium price/bid on it. I have a friend in Canada that also tries to find this colored lure and so we compete trying to get them. But, I digress, these lures have something that other crankbaits just don't have. I'm not sure if it is because of the vibration or the sound of these lures but the fish just can't seem to keep from jumping all over them. I have tried and fished many other brands but I always go back to the FF Shads. If you want a crankbait that performs buy one of these in your favorite color and hold on.
From: Stan S: Georgia 12/13/16
Comments: I have been fishing the bomber series crankbaits for years now! I honestly cant not find a better replacement. I have caught more fish with this crankbait than any other bait I have used. The best tip I can give you is match the hatch to your local bait fish that is where I have the best luck.
From: William: Austin, TX 10/14/15
Comments: Great Crankbait, just make sure you change the hooks.
From: JP: LA
Comments: An awesome deep diving crankbait. Put some Owner trebles on these and you'll never even have to set the hook! I like the Rootbeer Float, and Pearl White colors.
From: Jacob: Apache Junction, AZ
Comments: Homer color is an amazing bait differently gets hammered off some deep points. It'd be even better if they made it in 1/2oz so it could be used in every depth.
From: Michael: GA
Comments: An outstanding deep diver for June and July on Jordan and Falls Lakes, NC. I use 12 pound flourocarbon line. I have been catching big bass with these baits for 15 years. Homer is the number one color.
From: Dan: Cary, NC
Comments: caught a 19' smallie today on it!!!
From: Paul: WI
Comments: Simply the best crankbait on the market. the BD7 will hit in 19ft of water all day with 10 lb pline mono, and it will do this straight out of the package, unlike many other crankbaits on the market. when it comes to tournament fishing time is money and i don't want to waste it tuning a crankbait, that's why fat free shad is the only crankbait i throw. strike king, lucky craft, and rapala don't come close to Fat free shad's dependability and quality.
From: Alex: Martin, TN
Comments: This is hands down the best crankbait on the market have caught fish from 6 inches all the way up to 6 1/2 pounds. I personally have caught multple 20 pound days on this crank bait love it. Orderd 15 at one time. These crankbaits are AMAZING.
From: David: Spokane, WA
Comments: The Fry-sized model will catch almost any species of bass, especially when the bite is light. I've caught walleye, spots, and smlmth/lrgmth using 6-8 lb test w/ the fry-size year round on most lakes in KY.
From: John: Lexington, KY
Comments: Fat Free Shad Bd7 is great for northen pike. I use this bait a lot and it never let me down!
From: Magnus: Mullsj, Sweden
Comments: Tenn. Shad has been a monster during the fall shad run. Hold up great too, caught a couple of large redfish on them and the hooks suprisingly held up. At one point found em schoolin and caught 10 bass on 12 casts
From: Sam: Crestview, FL
Comments: Every crankbait I've ever throw up to this one we're Strike Kings and a few Lucky Craft. Strike Kings are good lures, don't get me wrong, but this is the only one that hasn't needed tuning out of the box, the hooks dont need replacing, and the paint is good. I didn't like the hooks on the Lucky Craft, I lost 2 or 3 bass when they jumped, only small but still I care. Where I fish crankbaits, standing dead brush in a pond, you loose a lure every now and again, but loosing this one doesn't hurt as bad as loosing my buddies Lucky Craft!
Comments: Love these crankbaits.i have caught two fish at a time on the citrus shad and the pearl white whith a red sharpied back
Comments: love this in the crawfish, caught 2 nice keepers in recent tournament when nothing else worked... also caught an 18lb flat head catfish!!! lol!! thought i had the "mother of all bass" :)
From: Jon: Indiana
Comments: If you make a trip to Mexico or even Falcon Lake I'd suggest you take a couple of the big ones in Citrus shad. This bait and color is a consistent producer on Lake El Salto and when a crankbait bite is hot - well watch out. My friend and I caught over 100 fish in one afternoon with this bait, anchored by an 11 pound hawg. And two fish simulataneously on one lure twice!
One suggestion - upgrade to heavier split rings and treble hooks. The hardware it comes with is good, the hooks are super sharp. But they will not hold up to a furious bite like you can have on one of the hot lakes down south. I'd suggest the #5 Owner hyperwire rings and Owner double strength trebles in size 2 or even a size larger.
From: Scott: New Mexico, USA
Comments: Quality lure. Lip and paint hold up well to abuse. Definitely my 'confidence' bait. Did I mention it catches them too?
From: Aaron: Dover, TN
Comments: Top notch bait for the money. Components are solid and they hold up well. The citrus shad can be deadly late March - May!
From: Scott: Lexington, KY

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for fire management on 12.2 million acres of public lands across Arizona. The agency's professional fire management staff provides wildland firefighting for protection of natural resources, as well as using fire as a to improve the health of the land. Naturally ignited wildand fire are utilized, as appropriate, to accomplish resource and healthy lands objectives for specific areas, as identified in Land Management Plans.
In fire and aviation management, the number one priority for BLM Arizona is firefighter and public safety. As a cooperator with other federal, state and local agencies and firefighting departments, the BLM assists its partners in wildland firefighting and all-hazard incidents such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes.
BLM Arizona's fire program is comprised of the following major components:
Each of district, supported by fire and aviation management program staff at the state office, has staff responsible for each fire program component.
Each District Fire Zone is supported by an Interagency Dispatch Center, Airtanker base as well as other established aviation facilities. There Arizona program supports 2 helitack modules; Weaver Mountain, based in the Phoenix District, and Moki, on the Arizona Strip District.

Fire & Aviation
Wildfire management consists of actions that are applied to unplanned fires, such as those started by lightning, based on a number of factors such as; safety, economics, social considerations, political views, and anticipated environmental effects. Some unplanned fires may provide positive ecological benefits.
Each wildfire start is evaluated to determine the best management strategy relative to land management objectives. The first priority in all decisions is the protection of human life and the safety of firefighters. Once people have been committed to a wildfire incident, they become the highest value to protect.
After safety has been adequately assessed, managers consider the potential effect of the wildfire on property and natural and cultural resources. Decisions also take into account the location of the fire, the condition of the fuels, current and predicted weather, and topography. Depending on the anticipated consequences and management objectives for the area that is likely to burn, any one or a combination of strategic and tactical actions may be chosen.
When in doubt dial 911!

Last night/this morning at midnight, I joined Twilight fans in taking in the second-to-last movie, Breaking Dawn, Part 1. It's the only book of the four that I've actually read, so I was armed with remembering all the details that we then saw dramatized. Overall, it was about as fun as any other Twilight experience: The dialogue was hilariously bad, the action was a bit bloodier (a plus), and the audience shrieked and whooped with the kind of passion that's usually restrained just to straight horror movies.
I knew that the only way to properly judge the variously funny and shocking moments in Breaking Dawn was to break them down (there's a pun in there, but I'm too exhausted) into what most affected people and what was merely cheesy. I've made up a quick scale of 1 to 9, ranging from a halfhearted response to so loud you couldn't hear the dialogue. I'll also refer to it in each slide, but here's your guide:
1 – smattering of applause
2 – titters
3 – snorts
4 – full-fledged laughter
5 – hearty applause
6 – groans
7 – squeals
8 – cheers
9 – screams and vocalizations
This is basically chronological, and somewhat spoilery for those who intend to see the movie, so proceed at your own risk. (Of course, if you're going to see the movie, you probably know all the details from the book already.)

I would be devastated if Tobi is really Obito.
But I'm sure that clue Tobi gave got the wheels rolling in Kakashi's head. Kakashi might figure out who Tobi is before Naruto destroys that mask.
I do not like this chapter. The information that was given is not important. We already know this! Boring chapter in my view.
He didn't imply that he knew Gai or Kakashi, merely what he learned from Akatsuki. Now, he does seem to have lost his ability to phase through stuff, so Naruto might just break his mask.
A separate thought, if Gedo Mazo is in fact a creation of Mokuton, no wonder Tobi doesn't want Naruto to come near it. We all know what effect Naruto's nine tails chakra mode has on Mokuton.. Could have been a foreshadowing that his chakra mode affects Mokuton in that way :)
Nice chapter though :)
Liked the chapter,
My feeling and this is just intution ( I have NO proof to back it up whatsoever ) is that TOBI is Uchiha Shisui - I don't believe that he is dead, he just faked his death and fooled even Itachi. - I will believe this until Kishi shows who Tobi really is.
Anyway now on to the main point of this chapter : Bee's fetish ;)
BeexTsunade anyone? :hmm: anyone?? - It could work you know after the war is over and everything :)
At least she wouldn't be able to punch him away and he has allready got Naruto onside.
Just checked out another translation at mangainn, "vessel" reads "body" , which is an important difference and tobi makes his character obvlservation on kakashi but what he says to gain is completely different than mangastream. Mangastrean, tobi acts familiar with gai, "who can't remember a face" a direct statement of familiarity. At mangainn, he says to gai, "you whom i don't even know". That's quite huge in fact. It makes him certainly know kakashi but not gai, as if he was once part of kakashi's team, knew kakashi as friend and rival but died young, got replaced... see where IM going? I hope someone can read the raw and clarify the inflection.
Also, mangastream, kakashi says he wants to try something. The statement was made that he already knew what he wanted to do.
In mangainn, kakashi says they better do something before that happens, the statement was made to the point he did not have a course of action in mind yet.
This had been an aggravating translation discrepancy style chapter, grrrr.
If you notice carefully, kakashi has his eye closed at the beginning of the chapter but the first panel that has him open his eye it is paired opposite of a gripping panel of tobi's eye, creating a meaningful stare between two sharingan attached closely to tobi's character remark on kakashi. That's heavily paddling along the obito is tobi current.
The whole thing about bringing up kakashi regretting is plot spice since the incident with obito is fertile ground for kakashi's most serious feelings of regret.
I don't think this chapter imply in any case that Tobi is Obito.... come on guys Obito was a good boy and he willingly gave his eye to Kakashi and died peacefully. Even if he survived he had no reason of becoming so cracked and evil. but i guess these points would have been cleared out a hundred times before too:P
Next chapter got to be a good one i mean Kishi really wasted this chapter as far as important points of discussion are related.... he could easily had made it a mixed fighting and talking chapter or we could have seen a bit of Oro and Sasuke....!! ohh well Kishi is the boss so :P
^ i disagree. This chapter had two juicy tidbits heavily leaning towards obito behind the mask, especially in the translation at mangainn. The deliberate artistic stare between the two sharingan when kakashi first opens his in the chapter and also the specific comment about regret. The deliberate dissociation with Guy, who replaced tobi in many ways... the characteristics in polarity between obito during the final mission and the tobi who is a nobody.
The words this chapter were just summary, ya, but panels aren't drawn just to look cool, the visual arrangements are meant to communicate information as well, the stare down just begs reading into!
As ducky as it is to have rehash if old info is because we have it being given to kakashi, so now we can walk through hthe facts with him and arrive where he arrives. I think he is going to be very integral to how things go next few moments.
So much talk, so little action.. I liked the last page.
Whether Tobi is Obito or not, it doesn't make much difference imo. The guy is the villain, plus he's pretty crazy. and him being a former comrade shouldn't change things. To Kakashi, Obito died long ago. AND his face now might look so messed up from all the eye replantations etc. that even without the mask they wouldn't recognize him:/
I'll be entertained by the new Obito -> tobi theories. Lots of facepalms to come lolz
Overall chapter: boring...like someone mentioned, lots of talking and nothing new

I like the small groups, value for money and down to earth everyday type of experiences offered by Intrepid, also the company approach to care of the planet.

Lorena Santos
This Intrepid trip was excellent from start to finish. The itinerary was perfect! We spent at least two days in each place we visited and allowed us a lot of free time to explore at our own leisure and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Spain and Portugal. Our tour leader Marco did an excellent job at organising everything and making sure that things ran smoothly and thus were able to utilise our time well.

Transport in Spain
Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.
Depending on which trip you're on while in Spain, you may find yourself travelling by:
Spain's trains are a reliable, fast and cost-effective way to travel around (and between) the cities. Many Intrepid trips in Spain incorporate rail travel, giving passengers the chance to take in the scenery and interact with locals and fellow travellers.

Spain travel FAQs
Rounding up the bill or leaving spare change in restaurants should be sufficient when travelling in Spain. Feel free to tip more for good service, but this isn't expected of you.
Internet access is good in Spain, and internet cafes and Wi-Fi hotspots are easily found in most cities and major towns.
Mobile phone coverage is generally very good in most parts of Spain. Ensure global roaming is activated before you arrive.
Flushable toilets are the standard in Spain. Be aware that public toilets aren't as common in Spain as they are in some other countries.
Metro ticket = 1 Euro
Pastry = 3 Euro
Beer = 5 Euro
Simple meal in a café = 10 Euro
Drinking water from taps is considered safe in Spain, unless otherwise marked. For environmental reasons, try to use a refillable water bottle rather than buying bottled water.
Major credit cards are widely accepted by stores and hotels in Spain. Smaller cafes and shops may not accept credit cards, so ensure you carry enough cash to cover small purchases.
ATMs are very common in Spain, so finding one won't be a problem in most towns and cities.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Highly recommend this to see the sights of Paris.
This was booked as a birthday treat for my sister and, as requested, the 2 CV displayed the appropriate number. Generated a considerable amount of interest from passers by as we drove past. Seeing the sights of Paris in this iconic car was an experience not to be forgotten. Not a great deal of padding in the back seat but somehow it added to the experience. Our guide Eric was lovely and very knowledgeable; making us aware of the history of some of the buildings that we would never have known about otherwise. Time was allowed for taking photographs. Would highly recommend this trip.

|In response to Re: 53 1/2 inch bath tub
: : Hi again Tank,
: : : Thanks for answering my post about the 53 1/2 inch bath tub. You are correct in suggesting that my cracked tub might, in fact, be a 54 inch tub that measures slightly short. I found out that the original size of this tub was listed as 54 X 40, so the UR tub you suggested sounds fine. Coincidently, Universal Rundle is manufactured right here in my home town in Iowa, but the factory does not sell retail. I think the "Lawton", though narrower than my present tub, would work nicely, but I have not found a local retailer with a UR catalog. Where did you buy your tub? If you have any installation tips that might save me a headache, I would be happy to accept them.
: : : Thanks again for the help. This is the first time I have posted a message on a non-computer related message board and I am very pleased that you were here to help me.
: :
: : Probably most plumbing houses in your area will carry UR,
: : 54" is no longer a real common size tub, but when searching I found several manufacturers making them.
: : Make sure you get the drain on the correct side!
: : Note that tubs come in different widths.
: : The Lawton dimensions are available as a web page or
: : The surround I am using is a universal fit plastic model.
: : I think UR does make a matching surround, maybe another $150 or so?
: : Make sure you level the tub.
: : Last, stuff the tub-to-wall cavities with fiberglass insulation and your tub will stay warm much longer.
: : There are more mobile homes per capita in South Carolina than any other state :-(
: : Glad to be of help.
: : Good health, Weogo
: Weogo, you mentioned that, although 54 inch tubs are hard to find, you found several manufacturers that make them. Could you list a few? The only 54 inch tub I have found is the UR tub. I would like to find a 54 X 40 if I can.
: Thanks again, Tank

FDA Issues Alert on NuVision Products
Recently the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued and then expanded an alert to healthcare providers concerning a lack of sterility assurance of all sterile drug products made and distributed by NuVision Pharmacy of Dallas, TX. This compounding pharmacy produces an array of products including several used for treatment of urologic conditions.

On May 23, Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN-7), John Barrow (D-GA-12), Lee Terry (R-NE-2), and Donna Christensen (D-VI) introduced the USPSTF Transparency and Accountability Act of 2013. This bipartisan legislation calls for significant changes to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the process by which the group makes formal recommendations regarding preventive care services.
Most importantly, the bill strikes the language added by the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) that directly ties Medicare coverage of a particular preventive service to the grade given by the USPSTF.
Other key changes called for by the legislation include a mandate to ensure a "balanced representation of primary and specialty care providers" and other key stakeholders in the healthcare community are involved in development and review of recommendations.
On April 16, 2013, six Republican Senators issued a white paper entitled "REBOOT: Re-examining the Strategies Needed to Successfully Adopt Health IT". The Senators were Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Richard Burr (R-NC), Tom Coburn (R-OK), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and John Thune (R-SD).
The Reimbursement and Regulation Department (R&R) has been reaching out to urology practice managers in Massachusetts to obtain information about potentially denied ultrasound claims. As offices may or may not be aware, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is requiring any urology practice that performs ultrasound studies (except for transrectal ultrasound) to obtain accreditation through the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM). If you receive a call from the AUA's Reimbursement & Regulation Department, please take a few minutes to answer questions about this very important matter, so we can gather data to aid in this process.

Strange Dolls
56 Main Street
Essex Junction, VT 05452
p: 802-662-DOLL
e: firstname.lastname@example.com
Studio visits are by appointment only. Email
me to schedule a visit.
These scary dolls are not something you will find
in a toy store. They are hardly something you would buy for a child.
They are misproportioned, strangely dressed, and they have a character
uniquely their own.
Each doll is entirely hand made using polymer
clays, vintage fabrics, acrylic paint, and sometimes real human
hair or teeth. Each piece is one of a kind. Individuals who love
to collect odd, creepy, or gothic dolls will love Strange Dolls.
Beth Robinson is a self-taught artist. While she
has dabbled in a variety of mediums, it was the discovery of polymer
clay that allowed her to combine her interests in design, sewing,
sculpting, and painting and gave her a concrete foundation of expression
in the form of Strange Dolls.
Since 2003 she has been creating macabre and grotesque
characters in clay for collectors across the globe. She is currently
represented in Berlin, Germany by Strychnin Gallery. Robinson's
dolls have been featured in the magazines: Gothic Beauty, Art Doll
Quarterly, and SPIN in the US, "Rue Morgue" in Canada,
"RIP" in Russia, and "Nordic Vision" in Norway.
"Now here's a doll May Canaday would make if she watched
The Brothers Quay Collection while listening to Nightmare Picture
Theatre and hadn't slept in a week. Weird, misshapen and tortured,
these unusual handmade dolls are...definitely not for children,
unless you want them to have nightmares." -Rue Morgue
"I've come across these Strange Dolls a few times recently
and I have to say that it has inspired me to create my own art.
Something about them is uniquely authentic. The artist has taken
influences from culture but worked at interpreting that culture,
and in doing so created her own language. When viewing the dolls
it's as if you are watching a film in that unknown language, one
that mesmerizes but always keeps it's mystery."
"Absolutely love Beth's creations. Such a lovely, dark, world
of beautiful dolls."
"I have been a big fan and collector for several years now.
The quality of the artwork is superb and the feelings invoked by
the dolls are conflicting, intense, and wonderful." - Vicki
"I have the largest collection of boxes/cases in the world
designed to hold my harmonica. Each one is individually crafted
by artists from throughout the world. Beth has created 4 different
doll-cases for me. Each doll case is a faulous, unique, piece of
functional art, designed to hold the harmonica. See Beth's website
photos to see these unique dollcases. I plan to commission her to
do more - she is a creative professional who takes great pride in
each piece of artwork. And above all, she has a good dose of bizarre
wonderfulness." - Hoff the Harmonica Case Man

Salt Lake City � Plenty of bull elk will be available to hunters when Utah's 2004 general rifle season opens Oct. 9, but hunters need to put in some work to be successful.
"Elk are excellent at getting away from roads," said Jim Karpowitz, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. "You may see some bulls near roads during the first few hours of the hunt but once it starts, they head into backcountry areas and can be tough to find."
To be successful takes patience and hard work. "You need to spend time in the backcountry looking for elk and finding the groups that have bulls in them," he said. "Some of these areas are remote and roadless, so having horses can help."
Hunters who put in the time and effort have plenty of elk to look for. After last fall's hunting seasons were over, DWR biologists conducted surveys and estimated the state's elk population at just more than 58,000 animals. That's about 10,000 less than the statewide goal of 68,400.
"We've had to reduce elk populations over the past few years because of poor range conditions brought on by the drought," Karpowitz said. "Now that conditions are improving, we're starting a gradual climb back to our statewide goal."
Karpowitz says elk should be spread out when the season starts Oct. 9. "The rains that fell this spring and summer have provided a lot of green feed for the elk, and I expect them to be spread out," he said. "They'll also be at higher elevations until forced lower by snow."
Karpowitz reminds elk hunters to obtain off-highway vehicle travel maps before heading afield. The maps show where OHVs can and can't be used. They may be obtained from the agency � usually the U.S. Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management � that manages the land you'll be hunting.
Both any bull and spike bull permits are still available for the hunt. They may be purchased at DWR offices and from more than 170 hunting license agents in Utah. A list of the license agents who are selling permits is available at the DWR's Web site (wildlife.utah.gov/licenses).
Hunters may also purchase a permit at the DWR Web site. Permits purchased online are mailed to hunters. It takes about a week for a permit to arrive in the mail, so hunters who buy a permit online need to buy it far enough in advance that it will arrive before they leave for their hunt.
For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.
