FInally found my black boots!
"My last pair of black boots died a few weeks before Christmas in a rainstorm, so I was perusing the holiday sales for weeks looking for their replacement. These boots are the perfect combo of comfort, not-to-narrowness, and style for work or weekend. If you want a classic, low heel boot at a good price point, buy these."

Wide Calf
"I loved these until I put them on. I could've put two of my calves in the shaft; and my calves are pretty athletic. Definitely wider than the 14" stated, I measured these boots at 16". They'll be going back."

The rambunctious crowd in the Duchesne gym was thinning considerably from the numbers earlier in the day as cheerful supporters left the gymnasium right behind the team they had come to support. However the few (and faithful) Pirate fans had reason to stay, their team was still in the mix. Though the night was getting late and the trip home would be a long one, these Lady Pirate fans had reason to stick it out. They were playing in the double elimination championship game with the lady Eagles of Duchesne. A place that not too many had them in.
The Lady Pirates participated in a nine team two day tournament spanning the Labor Day weekend. Playing teams from Uintah, Union, Pinnacle and Tabiona in pool play before being placed in the tournament. They played against a Uintah team they hadn't previously seen. The Lady Pirates made quick work of the Uintah team and headed to lunch thinking this is fun. They worried about the next game as they were to meet a 3A team that was clearly the best team there based on pool play.
Lunch must have been good as the Lady Pirates came out and took care of business against Union. Michaela Hughes and Jamie Johnson were pounding the ball on the front line complemented by Taylor Johnson and Sydney Thayn. Dallice Johnson was setting the ball nicely while Feleisha Antillon stepped up as team captain and fought valiantly for calls she didn't think were made as she (and her team mates) saw them. Hannah Manalili and Mikayla Shaffer saw limited playing time but made significant contributions when called upon.
The next game had the Pirates pitted against the host team the Lady Eagles. Duchesne's volleyball team visited Green River earlier in the season. The Lady Pirates stole a victory out of the jaws of defeat as Green River won the final three games after losing the first two. Today would be different as the Lady Eagles schooled the Lady Pirates in two games.
On the heels of leaving the tournament early, Green River played a tough Union team three games before becoming victorious setting the stage for a rematch with the Lady Eagles of Duchesne. The excitement was building, as the Lady Pirates made it into the championship game. The Lady Eagles had just beat the Pirates so what the heck, play hard and head for home. Only thing is, someone forgot to tell the Lady Pirates that they were just supposed to lay down and play dead.
The first set was back and forth with Duchesne the victor but the next set was all Pirates. The Lady Pirates jumped out to a 13-4 lead and extended it to 17-5. The Lady Eagles began to claw their way back to a score of 24-16 before the Pirates made the final point to tie it up at one set apiece. The final game (to 15 points) had the two teams battle to an 11-11 tie. Green River was able to pull ahead to a slim 14-13 lead before the Pirates were able to seal the victory. The small contingent of Green River fans were whooping it up now. While the Duchesne fans were wondering what had happened and before the loss settled in, the final game began. One game to 25 and two to 15 if needed.
The first game was a mirror of what had been happening to the Lady Pirates throughout the tournament. They had moments of volleyball brilliance and moments of head scratching by Coach Simmons. The girls were tired and hungry but never gave up. The later it got the more they 'chatted it up' on the floor and the better they seemed to play.
After winning the first game, the Pirates jumped out to a five point lead before the Lady Eagles clawed their way back to within two points. The Pirates finished them off 15 -13.

Ceramics for Fun opened its doors in Emery on Feb. 1. The business is located in the former town hall directly behind the post office in the same building. Barb Petty is the business owner. The Emery County Business Chamber held a ribbon cutting to welcome the new business to the county.
Petty said, "You can come in and pick out your ceramics from the many we have on display or you can look through catalogs for additional molds. You can purchase paint here from us or bring your paints with you. We have tables set up in our business where you can do your painting. You can paint your own ceramics or I can paint whatever you want also.
"I go to Provo once a month to pick up orders. Some of the items we have in stock are frogs, Native American, holidays; Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentines Day and others. We have ceramics you can paint and spray and then put them in your yards for outdoor decor. We have a lot of vases and religious ceramics, too. We can order in whatever you want. If you have a special project in mind, then we can help. We are going to have a kids corner on certain days of the week where you can bring children in and parents and kids can paint together. We are open Tuesday-Saturday. Our hours are Tuesday-Thursday from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. and from 9 a.m.- 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday to accommodate those people who work.
"The number at the store is 286-2336. We offer Scentsy candles and fragrance products. We have aprons for sale and other items. Down the road I would like to expand our product line and have a small gift shop. So you can stop in and buy a quick gift for a wedding or shower, or treat yourself with a gift. I plan to begin painting classes during the summer where we will teach different painting techniques to use on ceramics," said Petty.
On hand to wish Petty good luck with her business included: Josee Lynn Muller, Shian Katherine Muller, Suzi Cole, Judi Riddle, Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth and Tanya Muller.
Petty welcomes everyone to come in and check out the newest business in the county and see how fun ceramics can be. Petty enjoys pouring the clay into the molds and firing the ceramics. She's turned her fun hobby into a business and hopes for the support of the county as she ventures out into something new. Ceramics make great gifts and painting them is a relaxing hobby to get involved with in your spare time.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth welcomed Ceramics are Fun as the newest Emery County business and wished Barb Petty much success in the future as her business grows and expands into new areas.

Pallet Racking is single or multi-level structural storage system that is utilized to support high stacking of single items or palletized loads. The shelves are ajustable to fit and support the heights of you company's stocking inventory of pallets or products.
Although there are many varieties of pallet rack, all types allow for the storage of palletized materials in horizontal rows with multiple levels. All types of pallet rack create some level of increase storage density with the least dense being the least expensive and cost increasing with storage denisity.
Selective pallet rack is the most common pallet racking system in use today. Selective pallet racks typically come in one of two configurations: a roll formed, or clip-in configuration, and a structural bolt-together configuration.
Roll formed selective rack is most commonly manufactured in a "teardrop" style. The nickname "teardrop" comes from the fact that the holes on the column of the upright are shaped like a teardrop. Pallets then rest on the horizontal load beams that are held in place by mounting clips. Because the clips on teardrop configurations can be quickly moved, the shelves can be easily adjusted to different heights to accommodate various load sizes. This is convenient for a warehouse that needs to store a wide variety of product sizes.
Structural pallet rack systems are very similar to roll formed pallet rack systems except the horizontal load beams are attached to the uprights with bolts and have much greater weight-bearing capacity. Also, structural pallet racking can be designed into the structure of the building itself, so that the upright columns are simultaneously used to support the roof of the storage facility, in which case the structural pallet rack uprights replace the storage building's vertical support I-beams. This system is a rack supported building.

All Aboard Amtrak's New Beef-Powered Train!
Beef and trains. Two All-American favorites. But what if they could somehow be combined? Well, Amtrak is testing a new train and it is powered by beef-based biofuel. Is this the most American form of transportation ever?
According to Fast Company, Amtrak will be running the train for a year between Fort Worth and Oklahoma City after receiving a grant from the Federal Administration. It will be powered by a mix of 80% regular diesel and 20% "beef-based biofuel." (Incidentally, KFC is also looking into this as a possible new menu item.)
The train is also the latest in a long tradition of All-American things that piss off PETA. Someone at Fastcompany had the good sense to contact them for a comment. Their response: "The answer to pollution is not to use the ground up remains of tortured animals for fuel." The PETA official then got into a car powered by the ground up remains of animals who died a slow and terrible death in an ancient tar pit and drove away.

Great, keep em coming guys, I think I'm learning by osmosis.
Could we get support for unfocused fullscreen? That would be a huge help!
Where is the download link to the metro design language ebook or something???
Yes - can we have a link to the pdf of the Metro Design book, please?
(I wasn't lucky enough to be a winner of Long's giveaway)
Found this on a swedish video on Metro released yesterday... (don't panic, the PDF is still in English).
The video itself looks interesting, but all the Swedish I got so far comes from the assembly instruction of my furniture.
The Windows Phone Design System - Codename Metro is the document I believe they are referring to.
URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=189338
@DevSolution: Thank you very much for the link, I enjoyed reading it.
@Blue Ink: I've seen that one - it wasn't what I was looking for. DevSolution's link is the one I wanted.
I think too much time has been spent on thinking about how we can do something different rather than how can we allow the user to get something done efficiently. Strange that Microsoft of all companies has decided to take this drastic approach to the design of a phone when compared with Windows Mobile and
The main problem I see is how do you know where you are and how do you know what your navigation options are? It feels like every screen you visit you have to "explore" to find a particular function, rather than having a menu bar (such as the icons at the bottom of iPhone/Android) to find the appropriate screen of functionality for a certain task.
Personally I love typography too (one of the things which frustrates me about Windows Cleartype snapping to pixel boundaries rather than rendering as the font designer intended), however I feel that the heading text being partially cut off on nearly every screen is a little messy. I think I would feel frustrated looking through a display at a large piece of content. Deep zoom might help with this.
Also, the ability to write managed C# apps for the phone is awesome, however from what I have seen this looks extremely consumer focused. Everything demonstrated so far is about social networking rather than productivity. I think we need some sample implementations of typical applications to show developers how to use this "language" and how they can acheive simple tasks such as displaying lists, where to put buttons, etc.

There was not enough room at the inn for the crowd, many of whom sported yellow or red badges depending on their point of view, that showed up on Friday at the Utah State Capitol for a meeting of the governor's Balanced Resource Committee.
But that didn't keep Bob Abbey, national director of the Bureau of Land Management from telling everyone that he doubted the issue of wild lands in the United States would ever be settled after Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, who was also at the meeting said the BLM "should make a decision and live with it."
"I'm not sure we will ever get there," he told the hundreds of people that were spread between the meeting room and two overflow conference rooms in the capitol complex. "I too wish for finality but there are more than 100 laws that cover the management of these lands and the list goes on and on."
Abbey appeared in connection with an invitation issued by the governor in late December when he talked with Herbert on the phone both the day of Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar's announcement on Dec. 23 that he was ordering the Bureau of Land Management to start looking at lands under their care and to start to reinventory them as to whether they fit the definition of wild or not, and the day after the announcement.
Herbert stated at the beginning of the meeting on Friday that he wasn't happy that he had little warning about the decision and that he had not been conferred with concerning it. He felt the move might be counterproductive to the atmosphere that has become more conciliatory in the last couple of years between all the parties with interests in public lands.
"We've had some real successes," said Herbert to the group. "The issues in Nine Mile Canyon concerning the gas development by Bill Barrett Corporation is a good example. We believe we can find solutions, but something like this could cause problems and hurt the good will we have built. That's why I asked Mr. Abbey here today."
The meeting had a big buildup over the days before it as emails went out to many parties on both sides of the wild lands issue. People were asked to come early because it would be crowded. Many land use advocates wore red badges into the meeting that were in the shape of a stop sign that said "Stop the land grab" while those pleased with the decision to look again at the wild designation on lands wore yellow round badges that said "Thanks" commending Abbey, Salazar and the Interior Department as a whole for making the decision.
Despite the problems with seating however, people with various colored buttons sat with each other and visited and even gave up their seats for people of the opposition when they had to leave.
The meeting was conducted by the council as a preliminary to a regular meeting they were planning at 3:45 p.m., but because of the crowds instead of starting at 2 p.m. it began at 2:15 p.m. At that time Ted Wilson, the chair of the council, said that the Abbey meeting would be expanded until 4 p.m. but later said that they would need to shut it down by 3:30 p.m. This irritated some of the people who felt that the meeting was being cut short for political reasons.
While many in the audience were ATV and off road enthusiasts, most of the comments and questions were about economic development pertaining to minerals, gas and oil. Some of the comments were very direct and sharp.
"The administration in this county has shown that it is committed to job growth," said former state BLM Director Kathleen Clark who sits on the council. "But if this is done wrong industry will flee this state and the economy will fall on its face. The federal government owns more than half the land in the state and that is a big impact. I hope you will provide leadership to bring stability (to this situation)."
Abbey countered her statements by saying that there are many things that can affect a state's economy, with the BLM decisions only being part of that.
"Right now there are four million acres out in leases in the state and only one million are presently being drilled," he countered. "It really does boil down to economics and we will do our best to see our actions provide certainty for industry. But it is all about balance."
During the course of the meeting a number of people on the council asked Abbey and BLM State Director Juan Palma questions and statements about the Salazar decision and how it would be applied to the state.
"You can find land with wilderness characteristics about anywhere in Utah," said Lynn Stevens, a San Juan County Commissioner. "Am I to understand that the review of the two million acres already designated as wilderness study areas in the state are going to be reviewed using new methodology? Is what has been done before under question?"
Abbey said that, no, the BLM would be using the same criteria as what was used when the lands were originally inventoried.
"However, having said that, we will go back and review those places and see if they are consistent with the new order," he stated. "If the new review is inconsistent then we may have to go back and amend it."
State representative Mike Noel, who is on the committee, also had some words of disdain for the order and entire process. He referred to the past and what he said is broken promises. He also referred to RS2477 roads.
"I believe from the original act in 1976 (Land Use Act of 1976) and on promises were made that western states could keep their rights," he said. "Over the last 40 years these things have been compromised by radical environmentalists. It has become almost a shadow government. This stuff has hurt us. We need to take a look at these roads and get them to the people they belong to."
After the council had asked their questions and made their statements Wilson was ready to move to on to the comment and question cards submitted by audience members. Former Utah Congressman Jim Hansen had been invited to the meeting and he wanted to make a statement. "As far as I am concerned this order flies in the face of Congress," stated Hansen once he got the chance to speak. "Only Congress can designate wilderness. I don't envy your position (speaking to Abbey). There is no question this is going to be litigated."
Hansen also brought up the Red Rock Wilderness Bill saying that it had never passed a Congressional vote and was not the law.
Wilson was able to get a few of the comment cards read so Abbey could respond to them. While most of the statements made were either critical of the order and questioned the authority of the federal government to go down the road it is headed a few were for the review and the order.
"There was not enough room for all of us to get into the meeting room with you today Mr. Abbey," Wilson read from one card. "But we want you to know that there are hundreds of people outside of this room that want to thank you for doing this."
"This pretty much is just bogus crap," said Carbon County Commissioner John Jones who had met earlier in the day with environmental groups and with Abbey. "It's a behind the scenes deal. I think we are in trouble because the Interior Department is being guided by environmental groups. People in our state need to wake up or we will lose our right to use public land for both economic and recreational use."
Scott Wheeler, a land use advocate who lives in Carbon County and also is part of the land use committee that has been negotiating on lands in Emery County felt the meeting was just a "dog and pony" show.
"(Abbey) heard our words but he wasn't listening to what we were saying," stated Wheeler in a phone interview on Monday morning. "We have gone through these processes three times now and this new order is just going to cause more litigation. It is certainly going to complicate what has been going on in Emery County."
Dave Levanger also had a take on the entire process.
"Here's what it boils down to," he said in a phone interview on Saturday morning. "Does the BLM have the right to both inventory the land and then manage it as wild? I think they have the right to inventory it; that's their job. But to designate it wild and then manage it that way? I don't think they have that right. Only Congress can make that decision."

Retrofitting older homes and buildings with energy-efficient systems is as much his profession as it is his mission… "Building new energy-efficient homes is very important but it won't solve our energy problems," Pedrick says. "There are a lot more existing residential buildings hat rely on outmoded, over-sized heating and cooling systems and would benefit from system upgrades and improved insulation."

Spro Aruku Shad
Designed to do things no other lipless crankbait can, the Spro Aruku Shad is uniquely made to lock on to the bottom in a nose down position during the retrieve - making it look like an actual feeding shad moving along the bottom. Specifically designed for fishing thru aquatic vegetation, it's nose-down action makes it one of the most weedless lipless crankbaits on the market. Life-like finishes, including etched scale patterns and 3D eyes add to the Aruku Shad's realistic presentation, and its super loud rattle garners additional attention. Great for bedding bass as well as other fresh and saltwater game fish, the Spro Aruku Shad features sticky sharp Gamakatsu hooks and is also available in several effective color patterns to match the forage in your local waters.

Comments: This is a great lipless crankbait. Rips through grass pretty well. I did get it stuck a time or two but did manage to pull a nice largemouth out of the grass on a reaction strike even after the tourney boat in front of me hit the area with flipping rigs. The day was overcast so I used the Chrome Shad.
From: Yaknstein: 3/26/16
Comments: Nice looking lipless crankbait with great action. Only complaint is the durability. First outing with it & it already has quite a bit of paint chipped off. Not fishing it around a lot of rock either. Still a good bait for the price.
From: Timothy: CA 2/20/16
Comments: This is a great Steelhead lure. Take off the front hook & split ring. Then put a single barbless on the back with a smeller split ring
From: Jay: Livermore, CA 5/6/15
Comments: If conditions warrant that I should throw a lipless crankbait, 95% of the time I start out with an Aruku 65 in chrome/blue. The rattle & vibration seem to really turn the fish on. The hooks are very sticky and keep the fish buttoned up. I like the fact that the finish is more durable than others out there & will not peel off after banging into the rocks for a little while. The bottom line is this lure is effective and durable. It will catch you some fish. Highly recommended.
From: Edwin: Nashville, TN 4/23/15
Comments: Excellent rattle bait. I fish it straight out of the package, trebles are a little on the small size, but hold on pretty tight. They retrieve with a slight nose down presentation which helps with deflections. Sounds like it's packed full of small bb's, but so far the fish don't mind. Save yourself the time/learning curve and by the 85's, or at least the 75's if they don't have the color your after. Big fish or small, they eat them all! Good luck!
From: Scott: Montgomery, AL 3/18/15
Comments: bought this lipless crank based on some great reviews online. I've bought and replaced the 65 size in Perch color a few times now. Also bought the 75 size in magic shad, but never had a chance to use it. The 65 in Perch has been a fish catcher for me all summer and fall. Besides bass, fish in general seem to love this lure. While bass fishing I've also caught a handful of crappie on Lake Austin and no telling how many gar have hit this on Nueces River waters in south Texas. I fish a pond with huge numbers of all kinds of gar and get strikes on this lure nearly every cast. Been able to land (amazingly) several needlenose and alligator gar between 5-25 lbs. on this lure. The 65 size in Perch is one of my favorite all time lures!
From: Chris: San Antonio, TX 10/13/14
Comments: Very effective trap style bait. They have a much harder thump than most other lipless cranks out there. Seems to work better the slower its retrieved. My only negative on this bait is when its ripped free from grass it tends to do an extreme nosedive (almost front flip) that at times causes the stock back hook to snag the line. I fixed this by changing out the rear hook to a larger size. Overall a very good big fish lipless crank.
From: Hydrilla: Lake Seminole, FL 3/25/14
Comments: I'm always stocked a few baits deep of the Perch and Blue Shiner colors. Just a great lipless crankbait.
From: John: NY
Comments: i can go behind other anglers in the spring and catch bass , i've done this year more than others the new Aruka 65 is the deal, the sound that it makes is way different from all the other ones out there..
From: Jim: Guntersville AL
Comments: the only thing missing on these guys are those crazy eyes. awesome lure. bought one and caught fish with it the first day
From: Sai
Comments: My favorite lipless cranks of all time. I've fished these next to Luckycraft LV500s and they produce just as good for less than half the price. I have most of the colors offered but Magic shad seems like the only color I need.
From: maxZmus: San Diego, CA
Comments: Great bait besides the fact the paint chips off fairly easy, switched the stock hooks out with mustad kvd triple grips 2x's. Good bait though
From: Austin: Central Florida
Comments: Normally use this bait for bass fishing but had the opportunity to try it on snook and it performed flawlessly and we caught several snook up to 15lbs. Am a firm believer and will be purchasing many more of these baits in the future. They work equally well on the bass on the lakes here in florida. Thank you Spro for a truly fine bait.
From: Glenn
Comments: just awesome! was out the other day and just killed them - 62 degree water and they just smashed this thing. tons of bass and pike and one 40" muskie. i was catching 1-3lb largemouth from the back of my boat casting to the same exact spots that my buddies just casted to. we all were burning rattle baits. my gold one is no longer gold - just silver and some transparent spots - it still outfished the XR75, 1 knocker, rattle trap, and rattlin rap. the guys fishing those tied one of my arukus on and they instantly started catching fish. theres something about the aruku shad that fish just cant ignore
Comments: This is a very good bait and it is reasonably priced. It has a little larger profile than most 1/2 oz. traps and comes through rock very well.
From: Lou: NJ
Comments: Just threw the chrome blue 75 for the first time tonight and all I can say is, "wow". Flatsided cranks are one of my number one confidence baits. I have close to a hundred of them. This bait (tonight at least) out-fished 9 other baits, even my redeye and my Xr75 that had been the best bait of late. I fished for less than 2 hours and caught around 25 bass on the Aruku......may be my new favorite.
From: Jeff: Rocky Mt, MO
Comments: First time out not a ton of fish, (that kind of day), but it did bring in a three pounder (scale weighed, not "guesstimated"). Come cooler waters this thing is going to rock. Conditions- Clear blue skies, good breeze, temp about 85 (September in south FL). Casts far, swims true, runs clean..
From: Craig: Sunrise, FL
Comments: all i have to say is wow!wild shiner is great for clear water lakes that bass are somewhat lathargic and lake were the prime food source is shad good job spro
Comments: I'm pretty new to lipless baits, but the Aruku 75 in Wild Shiner flat out catches fish in my waters. Plus, it casts like a cruise missle downwind or upwind. Definitely my go-to lure when the white caps are out. My only gripe is that the hooks on this thing (like many cranks) have a tendency to majorly foul hook the fish, but I guess that just goes with the territory. Highly recommended!!!
From: G: Boston, MA
Comments: This is my go to confidence search bait. I think I have tried 80 percent of lipless cranks on the market and this one has stuck more fish for me than any other. Great color selection, however some of the paint does chip a bit quick. I have a box full of these and have caught countless smallies on them. Less than seven bucks the best lipless crank on the market in my opinion.
From: Mark: Spokane, WA
Comments: This is a great crankbait. I use the 75 and it casts like a bullet. It has a wobble and shake like no other bait in it's class. The only thing you need to do is change the rear hook to #4 mustad treble and you'll be set. I like the wild shiner and chrome blue best of all. I can't say enough about the price and the quality either. Grab you 8 and you'll get free shipping from Tackle Warehouse and they are 50 cents a bait cheaper than anyone else in the country. Try them, you will not be disappointed.
From: William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments: One of the best (three) lipless on the market. Can't say enough good stuff about it. First, it has a great action at any speed - fast, medium, slow and slower. It even flutters on a straight-up rise. It doesn't plane to one side when dropping straight down. Burn it or jig it, it has action. If you like to yo-yo, this bait will nose-stand on the bottom with its butt pointing up. By the way, all these attributes apply to the Jackall T/N70 and Yo Zuri Hardcore Drum, which are both as good as the Spro.
From: Rowland: Newport News, VA

Outreach Event Special Guest Contributor:
Makiko Mizuno (Kinjo Gakuin University, Nagoya) (public and community interpreting)
The conference builds on the success of two prior Cross-cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads conferences at the UEA - Speech Frames and Cultural Perceptions in 2006, and its larger-scale follow-up Linguistic and Cultural Representations across Media in 2011 - this time with an even more ambitious agenda.
Like its forerunners, CCP III will be interdisciplinary, and aims to bring together, under the umbrella of cross-cultural pragmatics, researchers from domains which are particularly sensitive to cross-cultural issues, to promote the cross-fertilization of practises, ideas and theoretical approaches, and explore key concerns associated with communication across language and culture boundaries, in practice and theory.
Outreach Event:
Like its predecessor, CCP III will seek to foster the partnership between the University, its local host community and communities beyond with an end-of-conference Outreach Event that will bring together representatives from all these groups to share their views on the challenges of communication across languages and cultures. Details will be posted on the conference website.

I believe it's more than just the kind of fruit. I have a theory but can't go into any details openly as i happened upon it while reading up on the New Movie. I don't think people would be to kindly thinking it is a spoiler.
Spoiler!Oda created a character in the Movie who has the ability to make anyone they touch younger and in a live action play, Oda also created a character for some live action play who could take on the appearance and abilities of anyone he touched. The first power is a less powerful version of Bonney's power and the Second is an overpowered version of Mr. 2's. While there are thousands a fruits in the real world, some fruits in One piece may look similar but have different patterns thus giving similar yet different powers. I say this because I somewhat remember someone in One Piece identifying a fruit via type and appearance.
To Conclude:
Appearance=variant of power
Example: Mr. 1 and Jaws could have both eaten oranges with the swirls going different directions.
Now with that being said; Who wants to see post time skip Kuzan?

Richard Hobbs, curator, British Museum
'New treasure!' was the title of an email I received two weeks ago from a colleague. It refers to a new hoard, or 'treasure', of late Roman silver plate, recently discovered in Croatia at Vinkovci. In Roman times the town was known as Colonia Aurelia Cibalae (Cibalae for short) in the Roman province of Pannonia. Cibalae was the birthplace of the Roman emperors Valentian I and his younger brother Valens (both AD 364-375). The Cibalae treasure dates to around a similar time, i.e. the fourth century AD.
My Croatian being non-existent I've managed via 'Google Translate' to glean that the treasure was discovered during rescue excavations in advance of construction right in the centre of Vinkovci, then transported under armed guard to the Mimara Museum in Zagreb where it is now on display to the public. It consists of about 50 items of silver tableware weighing a total of around 30 kilos. For comparison, the Mildenhall treasure, the treasure I am currently researching, has about half that number of objects, but weighs almost as much (around 26kg). It is clear from the images that many of the objects are rather damaged and heavily tarnished, but cleaning and restoration over the coming months will no doubt do much to rectify this.
A more perfect set of circumstances surrounding the discovery of such a treasure could not be dreamed of. It is, to put it mildly, highly unusual for a silver treasure of this magnitude to be found at all, let alone by professional archaeologists. Such discoveries are exceedingly rare: the daily diet of most archaeologists is lots of pottery and animal bone, the occasional find of low value metalwork (perhaps an iron nail, or a copper brooch or coin). Even single finds of gold and silver objects are rarely found, let alone entire hoards. And because it has been excavated by professionals, we are likely to know a great deal more about it: we know exactly where it was buried, how deep it lay in the ground, and how it might have been buried, for example there might still be traces of a container in which it had been placed. In contrast such information relating to the burial circumstances of the Mildenhall treasure is sadly lacking.
The exact contents of the treasure will become clear in the next few weeks, months and years as the painstaking process of conservation and research is carried out. At the moment, I have to content myself with scrutinising the few images which have emerged from TV and newspaper reports. I can see, for example, that the Cibalae treasure has three large platters and at least two wide and deep bowls – in comparison the Mildenhall treasure has only two platters. It has at least another dozen smaller bowls and dishes – Mildenhall has six. It has many other vessels which are not represented in the Mildenhall treasure, but are paralleled in other treasures: these include silver beakers, also known from the Kaiseraugst treasure, discovered in Switzerland in the early 1960s; at least two silver jugs, also known in other treasures; and a number of spoons and ladles, again similar in appearance to ones known in other treasures. Most intriguingly, there are some pieces which are nicely decorated: one shows what appears to be Bellerophon slaying the chimera. This scene is in the centre of a platter with a very unusual flat rim decorated with a dozen recesses in the shape of scallop shells.
Even more exciting perhaps is a pastoral scene in the centre of another platter, which shows a shepherd leaning on a crook and surrounded by sheep: as my colleague Chris Entwistle, the curator of our Byzantine collections suggested, it would be tempting to think of the Parable of the Good Shepherd. If this is the case, it would be a very rare example of a Biblical scene on late Roman silver plate.
It's early days in the life of this new discovery. Maybe in the next few months I will be able to see the treasure for myself.
Richard Hobbs is curator of Romano-British collections and is currently on a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship to publish the Mildenhall treasure

Works Great!This works great for me. I agree with other posts that it does dry my hair out or at least change the texture but that also works for me because it makes my hair seem thicker even when I'm not using it. It does survive water which is awesome if you like to swim.
Great product and I will buy again!!Feb 1, 2017DHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Covers But Too DryingSo this product covers the thinning, but basically turns your hair to straw. Incredibly drying. It comes with an oil gel, but that only works in the short term. Thinning hair along with fine/thinning hair is a terrible combination :(Aug 26, 2014M / NYCHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Using For YearsI've been using this product for many years, Have been using it dry as I use it mainly on the hairline to hide the thinness ( transplants). However, the instructions say to use it with the applicator wet which I never did.
Was messing around with it one day and tried to use it with a wet applicator and was really surprised how well that method worked.
I roughed up the dermatch with my hairbrush, wet the applicator and applied it to my hair and scalp. I let the hair dry and then brushed/combed it in. I've got to say this method really did the trick. Gone was the frizzies and my hair never looked so full and natural. I've been doing this every day now for a few weeks and will not be going back to the dry application. Try it this way, I think you'll be surprised how good the results are.Feb 4, 2014Bob M. / United StatesHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Worth Any PennyI've been using DermMatch for several years. Love Love Love it!!!. I have thinning hair due to aging; you would never know when I put DermMatch on and it last until you wash it out. Also for the ladies (and Men as well) great for covering grays. Long lasting, does not go all over like those messy fiber products.

Best Solution I've Used For My Thinning Hair (not A Paid Advertisement :))POSITIVES
As an alpha male who's socially outgoing and extroverted, the past couple years my self esteem has GONE down the drain due to my thinning hair, it's gotten to the point where if I go outside, sunlight directly on head will EXPOSE my scalp :( I didn't know what to do anymore! I've always been skeptical of this quick fix solutions for thinning hair, honestly thought they were bogus like those ab belts that they show on TV. But I was backed into a corner, I had no choice, so I thought I'd give it a try as a last resort, my expectations were VERY LOW, I thought it would look super artificial when applied and would be 100% noticeable. After I applied it...it looked amazing, It covered up all the thin spots and not one person has been able to detect it. This will guaranteed fix your hair thinning problems! I RECOMMEND IT
It's like art, some ppl are good at it and others suck, in the beginning you might be frustrated because you don't know how exactly to put it on. Here's my technique, wet your hair considerably, then take the little sponge tool and wet that also, swirl it generously around in the dermatch pallet until the color coats the sponge, then apply it to your hair, don't be afraid to use force and literally paint your head with it (it's okay if you put too much we'll worry about that later), once you've covered all the thin spots and are satisfied, DONT BRUSH YOUR HAIR OR TOUCH IT WITH YOUR HANDS JUST YET, unless you want a REAL MESS! so now take a blowdryer and dry your hair, make sure it's completely dry, you'll look like a psychotic mental patient at this point with your hair all over the place, be patient. Take a dry cloth or towel, and wipe your head gently, until all the excess ink comes off, once its off and you're sure that your hair is completely dry...It's game time. Now at this stage you can wet your hair again or apply some styling product to it and comb it to look however you want and VOILA INSTANT THICKNESS!Nov 16, 2013Aish I.HAIR TYPEBlack / Curly Hair

Finally!Finally I don't have to be so self-conscious about my scalp showing through my thin hair on the top of my head. Any kind of light shining down would show just how thin my hair was. But, I tried Derma-Match and am so surprised and pleased with the results! I chose the light brown and it hides my bare scalp so well. And, it does stay on! I exercise on my in-door bike 6 mornings a week and sweat so much, but the Derma-Match stayed on and didn't run. Shampooing takes it away and readies your scalp for the next application.
I am just so pleased and happy that I tried it. If you have thinning hair and can't afford transplants, etc., try Derma-Match. It will make you a new woman!Nov 11, 2013JenniferHAIR TYPELight Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Best Product On The MarketThis is an answer to prayer. It is the best product for hiding hair loss. I've been using it for over 3 years and it just seems to be getting better!

Works But May Cause Hair LossHonestly, this is the only product I have found that works to conceal hair loss, but I strongly believe it progressed my hair loss in an unnatural way. Unfortunately, I do not know what to do about replacing the product because its the only thing that has worked to conceal my balding.Aug 12, 2013ChrisHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Has Good And Bad PointsOkay - I wanted to be as fair as possible with this product. After about 3 weeks of use, here is my take on DermMatch...I'll begin with the negative:
NEGATIVE: it would be nice if this product came with a video rather than a booklet of instructions and a few photos. When applied as instructed, you feel like you have mud on your scalp. It feels thick and it does not feel natural even after brushing your hair through. And there tend to be dots and spots that don't seem to blend in after you brush (hence, the need for a video to cover this topic). I have lichen planopilaris and my scalp is tender and the last thing I need is to abuse it with vigorous brushing. The instructions indicate to use a salon style brush - give us an example? What type bristles? I have a salon style brush and this does not work any better than any other brush. In addition, it takes a very long time to dry. So, when you apply it, time manage yourself and do other things - it takes anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour to dry, but you can use a hair dryer to speed things up. It does not compliment your hair color. It makes your hair color look dull, lifeless, very dry and unattractive. When you are brushing it out, flecks of the color fall on your face. The instructions indicate to use a blow dryer to get rid of this - wrong....the blow dryer does nothing...the instructions indicate to not wipe this off...again...wrong...gently wiping it off your face works just fine. Be careful not to put your hands on your head or run your fingers through your hair - you will end up with a mess that will take a while to get off. ..and I won't even discuss the price. While I am a first time user and did not experience this product when it was less expensive, for the price, this product has more negatives than positives.
POSITIVE: unlike other users, I have found this product to be wonderful when I go swimming. It does stay put and keeps the color true while I am in the water.
I have not experienced it coming off on my bed linens. It does stay put while I sleep. It does a good job of covering up grays in between salon visits.
I've noticed the advertisements for this product revolved around folks with short hair...I have shoulder length and at times, longer hair - I would like to see photos or a video with a woman with true longer hair-not just running down the neck like one of the website photos has, but true lengths that are shoulder length and down your back.. When you advertise with short hair, of course the product will look just fine.
Of course no hair product will perform completely perfect when it comes to camouflaging hair loss - I have lichen planopilaris and have made peace with my condition, but for morale and self-confidence, I do search for cover for my thin areas.
Will I ever buy this again - probably not. If the creators of this product improve it so that it truly delivers what it says it can do, then perhaps I will purchase again.
I guess it's back to Caboki.

Sick, sick...
We went for a spin to the OR shore, and it treated us quiet if cloudy. We drove all the way to Smith Rock Park in Central OR (since I was determined to show different varieties Oregon has to offer, from heavy green wooded mountains to high desert to rock creations to, certainly, Mt. Hood). Ate and drank at famous local pub Rogue. Took onto Forest Park trails. Talked a lot and had an awesome time. If I wasn't so sick, it'd been better. I am paying for it all now, as I can't even sit straight without bending over in hacking, so I just wanted to say Hi, I am alive, have lots of work to do, new project at work, books came to study, apartment needs painting, kids fed and the rest of the stuff. I'll add on pictures once I get them emailed, and for now am going to lay in bed and feel sorry for myself...
Nothing serious, I'll return to normal broadcasting next week:)

Sounds like an aggessive "tour de Oregon" over the weekend.
What books are you studying?
Sorry you are under the weather. Speaking of weather, you still got snow. Summer is here so I'm envious.ReplyDelete
Hey Olga!ReplyDelete
Get well, soon...
Huge thanks for initiating me into the ways of an PNW trail runner. You all are spoiled to have such a variety of trails and terrain. I'm officially jealous! ;)
The Larch was quite the "adventure". I'm glad we found our way off the mountain. And, who knew snow could draw blood and mess up my chin so bad when I post-holed? Smith Rock was an awesome surprise. Talk about steep trails!!!
Take care of yourself.
Hope you are feeling better! :)ReplyDelete
feel better girl! i want an update!ReplyDelete
So running hills, drinking and yakking didn't make you feel better. Hahaha crazy sick girl, feel better...soon.ReplyDelete
Sorry you got sick. I just got over my cold a week ago.ReplyDelete

O.C.'s quirky Candy Queen goes global
This story is for all the girls out there who believe they are going to besomebodysomeday, even if no one else does.
It's for all the girls who are bullied. And all the girls who battle the bulge.
"My whole life is: Give me one shot. Trust me. I can do it."
And she's doing it.
Oprah. Katy Perry. Dr. Phil. Paris Hilton. All of them have nibbled at the buffet of Candy Queen Jackie Sorkin.
And now, with her face plastered on benches, billboards and trucks all over Taiwan, Candy Queen has gone global.
Even at the age of 7, growing up in Cypress, Sorkin knew she was headed for fame. Back then, though, she thought it would be with "The Just Jackie Show."
She still remembers the song she made up and sang all over the house:Everyone loves Jackie / Jackie's jumpy / juicy, Just Jackie!
"My brother would get so (angry) and throw things at me," she remembers.
But it would take more than heckling to subdue her. She had a lust for life. OK, maybe it was a lust for a life filled with glitter, unicorns, rainbows, butterflies and lip gloss. But it was lust, nonetheless.
"I was excessive in everything," she says. "Happiness ... cookies."
The cookies led to trouble. By the time she was 14, Sorkin weighed nearly 300 pounds. She spent seventh grade at McAuliffe Middle School hiding in a bathroom stall during lunch from a girl who wanted to beat her up.
In eighth grade, Sorkin saw an ad in Teen Magazine for a weight-loss summer camp for girls in Pennsylvania and begged her parents. "I told them they didn't have to buy me anything for the rest of my life." They put her on a plane that summer.
Camp Pennbrook wound up being an eight-week-long slumber party. ("Let's do each other's hair!")
Sorkin had found her calling: summer camp. She went back the next summer and the next and the next. And with the tools she learned at Pennbrook, she lost half her body weight.
After graduation from Los Alamitos High School in 1998, where she carried an empty briefcase in preparation for future success, she enrolled at Golden West College, but not for long.
"I was just kind of very lost," she says.
Like a paperback heroine, she left for the bright lights of New York City with $400 in her pocket and a job offer from Flip Shulman, the owner of Camp Pennbrook. When September came, she sold Jewish singles weekends to stockbrokers and taught hip-hop to Girl Scouts, but only until summer rolled around again. By the fifth summer, she was the director.
"I thought I was gonna be the queen of summer camps," she says.
Until the day she got canned.
Shulman told her he needed someone more dedicated to camp than to boys.
"I was having too much fun," she says. "I screwed up. It was the biggest lesson I ever learned."
Sorkin flew home with her New York boyfriend Chris in tow – "He's so normal, he's an engineer" – and got an apartment in La Palma.
The economy was tanking, and both of them needed jobs.
"I definitely had some time in La Palma depressed, being a loser, crying."
She found a job working for an event-planning company in Costa Mesa. One day in 2009, she had to man a table at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast.
Instead of handing out pens and brochures about her company's services, she turned her table into a tricked-out candy wonderland: vintage apothecary jars and glass pedestals spilled over with jelly beans, rock candy, lollipops, gummy bears, saltwater taffy and bright tropical flowers.
"They were flocking to me," she says. "Can you do my bar mitzvah? My wedding? My anniversary party?"
It was on.
Sorkin went home, begged a friend to build her a website and started blogging out of her garage.
A few weeks later, she hit the jackpot. An email came in saying that Kim Kardashian was launching the new lip gloss inFATuation at Sephora in Hollywood and asked if Sorkin could customize a candy buffet bar for the event.
Then another email: Paris Hilton was launching the jewelry line Candy Ice at Prego in Beverly Hills and needed a candy bar. Suddenly everyone wanted her. Victoria's Secret. "American Idol." Oprah. Dr. Phil's kids.
By now, Sorkin had hired "flirty, cute" candy girls and eye-candy boys for the events. "I don't want to sell a product, I want to sell an experience," she says.
In 2011, nine months pregnant, she got a show called "Candy Queen" on the cable channel TLC. She shot six episodes. In one, she makes a Sweet 16 birthday party dress with candy. The series still airs around the world. Last August, an email came in from Taiwan saying people wanted to hire the Candy Queen to make a candy museum.
"I thought it was bogus," she says.
It wasn't. The company (the same one that brought Lady Gaga to Taiwan) went on to pay her lots of money to create 40 famous artworks – with pieces of candy.
In January, a team of 10 – including her mom and dad "for emotional support" – traveled to Kaohsiung, Taiwan. She arrived to find her face plastered on banners and billboards and fans shoutingCan-dy!in Mandarin.
"Everybody was freaking out," she says. "It gives me chills."
The Taiwanese call the exhibit"Hollywood Candy Queen's Kingdom." It includes the Dutch masterpiece "Girl with a Pearl Earring" made with jelly beans and Nerds; one of van Gogh's "Sunflowers" made with jelly beans and licorice. There's a sphinx made of golden gummy bears.
Some of the creations are under Plexiglas, much like the Rosetta Stone sits behind glass at the British Museum. The exhibit moves at the end of April to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei.
While she was in Taiwan, Sorkin made a spot that can be watched on the Facebook page Candyqueentw2013. That's really her speaking Mandarin.
She sometimes thinks of the naysayers who told her that starting a candy buffet business was just another one of her crazy ideas. And it fuels her.
"I always knew it was gonna happen," she wants to say to them. "And that's OK if you didn't."
At this thought, Sorkin hollers to a female assistant in another room.
"Can I have water? I'm about to cry!"
Sorkin has moved from her La Palma apartment to a condo in Los Alamitos, but she still rents. All the money she makes goes back into the business. She has never taken a bank loan.
Her office is in a strip center in Los Alamitos 10 minutes from her inspiration: Disneyland.
"It's like crack for me," she says. She cries when she goes there. And she says she sees other people crying there, too.
Her office is a giant princess party. "I vomited out my emotions," she says. Streamers and glittery butterflies dangle from the ceilings, walls are pink and purple, candy is everywhere. She wants people to know, though, that she sees herself as a luxury business, not a lifestyle.
"I don't want to be a candy crack pusher. It's celebratory. It's once in a while."
Her office also flies a mini Mexican flag, paying homage to where her mom came from. Her dad came from Argentina.
"I'm down with the brown," she says. A TV show for the Latino market is in development. "You're like Martha Stewart but Latina and younger and hipper," the producer told her. She's also making a pilot for the E! network.
On the wall above her desk hangs her favorite quote: "She turned her can'ts into cans and her dreams into plans."
It's not a matter of book smarts, she says. "I have way-crazy street smarts." Not to mention: "I'm a super weirdo connector of people."
But for all her confidence, she still seeks her parents' approval.
"Are you proud?" she asks them with every new achievement.
Sorkin is 33, a mother of two toddlers, but inside she still feels 15.
"If I wasn't killing it in the candy business, I'd be back at camp in 30 seconds," she says.
Shulman wants her to come back this summer as a guest speaker for the girls. She's a living metamorphosis. Which is why she tattooed a butterfly on her derrière.
And that reminds her, she is dying to hang Slinkies from her ceiling. She showed me a text she sent to her assistant Nicole at 1 that morning with this urgent piece of news: "I want to make chandeliers out of rock candy!"
She has a little trouble turning it off at night, but friends warn her not to turn to meds.
"You'll lose your sparkle," they say.
Sorkin says that when she was a child, her two favorite movies were "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and "Girls Just Want To Have Fun."
"And that's what my life became. It creeps me out. I made it come true. I'm like a latter-day Latina Willy Wonka. But I'm also like Charlie, who won the Golden Ticket."

You don't have to be royalty to vacation like a king (or a queen). Turreted spires, stone archways, and centuries-old charm-as shown here by Ashford Castle in County Mayo, Ireland-are all within reach. You just have to know where to look.
For those venturing beyond the ancient feudal domains of Europe, there are still castles to be explored, such as Neemrana Fort-Palace, an incredible 10-story fortification in Rajasthan, India.
The 83-room Ashford Castle was once the property of the Guinness family (yes, as in the beer), so it's practically Irish royalty. Here, a look inside the five-star luxury hotel.
Within the walls of the fort, guests can take a dip in the vista pool, sign up for free yoga and meditation exercises, or request holistic rejuvenation treatments. Shown here: one of the castle's courtyards.
Being a country with a strong Moorish history, Spain has thousands of castles. Our favorite, the 14th-century Arabic-inspired Parador de Carmona, about 18 miles from Seville.
Inside the Parador de Carmona, a graceful Moorish courtyard with vaults and columns combines with antique Spanish furnishings to create a four-star experience reminiscent of times gone by.
A room at the Parador de Carmona.
Standing high on a bluff overlooking the St. Lawrence River, the turrets and towers of Fairmont Le Château Frontenac are part of the identity of Old Québec.
Though the impressive castle looks positively ancient, the oldest section of the 618-room hotel, the Citadelle, dates back only to 1899. The amenities, like this pool, are fully modern.
The master bedroom, like all of the rooms in the Château du Peyruzel, retains medieval touches, like stone walls hewn from bedrock, chestnut floors, and dark, walnut furniture.
Yellow-hued Pentillie Castle in Cornwall, England, is surrounded by gardens bursting with rhododendron, azalea, and camellia flowers, and most of the estate's 2,000 acres is still tenant-farmed, with some woodlands reserved for pheasant hunting.
The hotel has nine double rooms and an elegant dining room (above), making Pentillie Castle a favorite location for intimate weddings.
An intimate drawing room at Pentille Castle overlooks the gardens outside.
Few castles that saw battle during the Hundred Years' War have come through as elegantly as the Château du Peyruzel, a 13th-century fortress about three miles from the town of Domme in the Dordogne wine region of France.
A picture of the moat at the Hollywood Castle. The eight-room property is located on a full acre of land just beneath the Hollywood sign.
A nice Czech waltz is the only thing missing from the fairy-tale atmosphere at Château Krasna Lipa, located in Czech Switzerland.
The Castle of the Four Towers has a commanding view of Siena, Italy, from its hilltop position. Built in the 14th century, the castle has served as both private home and war fortress in its lifetime. Today, it's both a private residence and a hotel.
The 803-year-old Schloss Sommersdorf castle, with its turrets and moat, is one of the attractions along 621-mile Castle Road in Bavaria, Germany.
Inside Schloss Sommersdorf there are three apartments and two rooms that guests can rent.
Like many things in LA, the Hollywood Castle is just playacting-it was built in the 1970s. But the castle's charm is still tangible, with ivy-covered walls, a moat with a drawbridge, and rooms furnished with suits of armor and thrones for chairs.

|Check-in before
This apartment is very compact and 4 flight up (no lift). The beds and pillows are not comfortable and need to be replaced. The hot water supply to the shower is irregular and in winter having cold showers is not pleasant. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone with children or over the age of 50. The location is excellent but it does not offset the negatives.
Due to a maintenane problem with our reservation in Manhattan at apartment ref: 8329 we were transferred to another 1 bedroom apartment ref 8360 on W 45th street. The location was brilliant just off 5th avenue and the view from the apartment was amazing. We were absolutely delighted with the facilites at the CASA residence and the staff on the reception desk could not have been more helpful. We would not hesitate to book this property again on our next visit to New York and would hightly recommend it to anyone wishing to take a break to this amazing city. Mr & Mrs Ruddy (UK)
The location is excellent. In a quieter area but still very close to the hustle and bustle. The subway is just a few minutes walk. Central Park and MoMA are a short walk.
Apartment is decent size for the price. Having two bedrooms separate from living room is nice.
One downside is street noise b/c it is ground level, but we knew that going into it. Just bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
The only bad thing is we discovered our last night that there were cockroaches in the kitchen.... not sure if this apartment is sprayed regularly.
Fantastic Apartment. Just what was required for our week in New York. Very clean and spacious and in a great part of the city.
Warning to everyone interested in this appartment! We whare really disappointed when one day before arrival, and I have had personally contact with David that all was ok according to arrival, we got info to change appartment 17 hours before arriving to NY. Payment was done, in good time. We got a replacement app, bot not in the same quality acc to pictures.:-(
The apartment was centrally located as promised and seemed to have enjoyed a cosmetic overhaul relatively recently.
The outside of the building and inside communal parts were not to the same standard as the apartment which was a bit of a let down.
The apartment itself was clean-except the windows - but noisy due to absence of adequate double glazing which is essential as it almost directly sits at a busy cross street.
We had a nice stay in that appartment. The location is pretty central and you can reach everything by feet. The appartment itself is small, nice and cozy The only thing we didn't like, was the very noisy first avenue, that seemed to run directly through the bedroom at night. We would book that appartment again.
Everything is perfect!!
we enjoy your flat, very clean, no noise on the bedrooms side, noisy on the front side if some one has to sleep in the sofa.
the can opener needs to be change, and the bread grill works if you keep a finger on the button, the rest was fine,
we had the keys inside the flat waiting for us in the evening and a neighbour opened the front door for us. the east village is a cool place to stay, very closed to the subway, Great ! eric from France
the explanations to get the keys were good, the front door was missing, but the keys were gaved to us in the evening.
We cannot recommend this place at all. We saw mice in the kitchen. Noice from the street was very loud and the bathroom was tiny. We met homeless outside the entrance to the house several times, presumably because it looked very bad from outside. Some things were either inexpedient set up or did not work.

Be sure to visit this part of New Mexico during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, a phenomenal festival held every year in early October that features thousands of colorful hot air balloons with participants from all over the world.
During your hot air balloon ride, you'll soar high above the city and come close to the rooftops of houses, buildings, trees, and ride over people stuck in traffic. Don't forget to bring your camera!
Rainbow Ryders operates out of Albuquerque and Phoenix, offering sunrise and sunset flights where you can watch the intricate process that takes place as the enormous balloon is inflated and set up by the team before taking off on your 3.5-hour epic adventure high above the city.
One of the most popular bucket list spots on everyone's list is Machu Picchu, the mystical land once ruled by the ancient Inca tribes of Peru.
G Adventures is actually giving Budget Travel readers a special 30 percent discount off one of their most popular tours, Absolute Peru, a 21-day adventure that breaks down to about $110 per person per day.
Another must-do bucket list item is making a pilgrimage to the Great Wall of China.
There are some really great travel deals out there, packages that include airfare, hotels, and guided day-trips to the Great Wall of China from Beijing—if you know where to look.
Free camping and hiking opportunities are also available at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, as are park ranger-led walking tours, but be sure to check the website for updates on volcanic activity in the park before you head out.
Always stick to the marked paths and never try to get closer to the lava, no matter how great you think your photo might turn out. You're still on an active volcano, after all.
About an hour's drive outside the park along Highway 130 in Puna is the entrance to Kalapana, a town that was completely covered by a 1990 lava flow. The hike ends at a gorgeous black sand beach (swimming is not permitted due to the proximity to the active volcano, Kilauea). The best part: both parking and hiking are free.
While an Alaska vacation may seem pretty far away both geographically and financially, the Alaska Railroad is trying to make it easier to turn that dream trip into a reality.
Spend a day checking out the wildlife of Denali National Park with Alaska Railroad's Just the Basics package, available June thru September.
A view of Horseshoe Lake in Alaska's Denali National Park.
The world's largest coral reef definitely deserves a spot on our list. Imagine yourself snorkeling Australia's magnificent Great Barrier Reef.
Keep an eye out for airline sales to Australia that usually happen during the shoulder seasons (remember, if it's fall up here, it's spring down under), and once you snag the perfect flight, the rest is easy thanks to a great travel package by G Adventures, East Coast Encompassed: Sydney to Cairns.
Is snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef on your travel bucket list?
Next time you're in South Dakota, don't miss Buffalo Safari Jeep Tours, a spectacularly intimate way to get up close and personal with Custer State Park's diverse wildlife—we drove right up to a grazing herd of bison, past fields of noisy prairie dogs, and ended the night with a traditional chuck wagon cookout.
Custer State Park is one of the very few places on earth where you can actually get stuck in traffic because a herd of buffalo decided to cross the road, so keep those cameras handy!
One of the best ways to really get out there and experience nature at its finest is by dog-sledding through the wide open wilderness of the Laurentians in Canada's Québec province, about a two-hour drive from Montréal.
At outfitters like Pourvoirie Mekoos in Mont-Laurier, you'll get to meet the dogs before you ride along with (or drive) the dog-sledding team through the Canadian wilderness.
Travel to Cuba has become more accessible to Americans and though it is at least right now a bit on the pricy side to visit this mysterious island, there are budget-friendly (and legal!) options out there that are definitely worth the splurge.
Friendly Planet Travel offers several packages that include chartered flights from Miami, all transfers and transportation within the country, accommodations, extensive cultural people-to-people experiences with the locals, guided tours, and best of all, all the visas and paperwork necessary to visit Cuba.
We want to know: would you ever travel to Cuba?
Americans first encountered zorbing—the art of rolling and bouncing down a hill while inside a giant, hamster-wheel-like plastic ball contraption—when teams competing on The Amazing Race a few years ago faced it on TV as one of their big challenges.
An adrenaline junkie's dream come true, Zorbing has been popular since 1997 and is definitely one of those "only in New Zealand" types of experiences to write home about.
While regular zip lining may already give you a heckuva rush, there's nothing quite like zip lining and completing an aerial obstacle course over a park full of crocodiles, alligators, and hundreds of other reptiles at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm's Crocodile Crossing.
The St. Augustine Alligator Farm is located just down the road from the scenic St. Augustine Lighthouse. This is the view from the top.
