|In response to Re: Sunken Tub in shower stall, Japansese or Asian style
: Can you recommend a way to create a bathtub in the space of a 48 inch square fhower stall? Maybe a sunken tub like a Japanese soaking tub with a step or two down? There is space below, for a sunken tub. How about a recommendation for an already manufactured sunken tub? Soaking is more desireable than hydro jets. Water staying warm is more desireable than constant refilling. Probable soaking time is fifteen minutes. If I need to build a tub pan below the shower pan, that could necessitate a false (swing -up) floor for the shower. Do you have any recommendations for creating a tub in the shower? 2 inch square tiles line the floor now, with a center drain hole. No room to place a standard tub in the 48 inch opening. Or do you know where to get a short tub?
|Replies to this post
|There are none.

Beautiful but poorly made
"I really like this rosette fabric but this clutch is so poorly made.What made me disappointed was stitching, there were lots of thread issues and edges uncut. Also the metal hardware looks cheap. Ok for just one time but not for long term use."

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
In 1983, the Tandy Corporation released the TRS-80, one of the world's first "portable" (i.e. "laptop") computers which operated on double "AA" batteries. It was powered by an Intel 80c85 (3 MHz) processor and contained a whopping 8 kilobytes of RAM.
Today, laptop computers (often called a "notebook" computer) have undergone major change in design, size and capability and share very little with their early predecessors. Modern notebook computers are more powerful and capable than ever, and are becoming extremely popular. However, because notebooks can be fairly expensive, many want to know what their pros and cons are before they buy one.
All of a notebook's benefits essentially boil down to convenience. They are highly portable, extremely light and take up very little space. They can be used almost anywhere, and most will run on batteries for a number of hours before a recharge is needed.
However, there are a number of disadvantages that must be considered:
Easier to steal. Due to a notebook's increased mobility, a thief can walk away with your notebook just as easily as you can.
More prone to damage. Because they are extremely mobile, notebooks are inherently prone to physical abuse, especially during transport.
More expensive. Notebook computers require extremely compact electronics to keep them light and easy to carry. As such, they are typically more expensive than their desktop counterparts. A 2 GHz notebook can easily cost 50% more than a desktop equivalent.
Limited expansion and upgrade options. Today's notebooks are extremely light-weight and highly compact. Many of the components inside are non-removable (like the network and video cards, for example), which can make some upgrades impossible. In addition, notebooks have little free space inside of them, which makes adding internal devices (like additional CD or DVD drives, hard drives, etc) very difficult.
Difficult to acquire parts. Because internal parts are frequently non-removable and of little demand, most computer stores don't carry notebook components, making it difficult to acquire parts. For example, suppose you want to upgrade your notebook's hard drive with a higher-capacity one. Although most notebook hard drives are replaceable, many vendors don't carry notebook hard drives and those that do rarely keep them in stock. Searching the Internet is often the only available route.
Unequal performance. Traditionally, notebook computers have not performed quite as well as desktop computers with comparable specs, (for example, a 1 GHz notebook PC doesn't perform as well as 1 GHz desktop PC). Because all of a notebook's hardware is crammed into such a small compartment, it must be extremely heat efficient. Such hardware must also be power efficient to extend the life of each battery charge. As a result of these stipulations, a notebook's performance often falls short of many desktop equivalents.
Notebook specs are similar to desktop systems, but differ slightly due to differences in cost. Keep in mind that notebooks aren't as upgradeable as their desktop counterparts, so anticipating what performance or capability you may need in the future is very important. The following is a list of recommended specs for a new notebook:
1.5 GHz processor or higher. Most "mobile processors," can scale their speed back when necessary to extend battery life.
256 MB of RAM. Like any other computer, the more memory, the better. Most modern notebooks have the capability to add RAM later, but it is easier to have plenty of RAM installed when you buy the notebook.
20 GB (gigabyte) hard drive. The more capacity, the better. 30 and 40 GB hard drives are becoming more and more common in new notebooks.
Built-in network (LAN) card (it is difficult to buy a new notebook that doesn't have a built-in LAN card).
An ActiveMatrix or better LCD screen. More expensive screens will provide better on-screen color and contrast.
Dual fans (if possible). Check the back of the notebook. Having at least two fans helps keep the computer ventilated.
Investing in an optical USB mouse is highly suggested. Every notebook has a built-in touch pad interface, but can be cumbersome to use for extended periods of time.
If you are thinking about buying a notebook for your primary computer, you may want to invest in a docking station and a compatible notebook. The docking station is typically left home, with printers, scanners and other non-mobile devices plugged into it. When the notebook attaches to the docking station, it is automatically attached to these additional devices. Without a docking station, printers, scanners and such must be constantly plugged in and unplugged as your notebook comes and goes.
Notebook computers are not for everyone, but for many they are a complete solution. A little forethought and some thorough research will help you make that decision.

Elizabeth (Erickson) DiRenzo
Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at the Stanford University Medical Center
Bio I received my Master's degree in speech language pathology from Purdue University in 2008. I then completed my Clinical Fellowship Year (CFY) at Indiana University Health – Arnett Hospital in Lafayette, Indiana. Following the completion of my Master's degree, I remained at Purdue and received my PhD in 2012 in laryngeal physiology with M. Preeti Sivasankar, PhD. I then completed postdoctoral training in the Department of Surgery, Division of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the laboratory of Susan L. Thibeault, PhD studying vocal fold biology.
I joined the Stanford faculty in 2014 as an Assistant Professor. My clinical interests include the evaluation and treatment of patients with voice, resonance, airway, and swallowing disorders.
My overarching research goal is to use techniques from the basic sciences and human clinical sciences to improve the prevention and management of voice disorders. My research program is directed at improving our understanding of the biologic barriers essential to vocal fold health. Specifically, I investigate how external factors implicated in the development of voice disorders, such as inhaled pollutants, bacteria, and viruses, compromise the function of the vocal fold epithelial and mucus barriers and how these changes may influence voice production. I am also interested in clinical and quality of life outcomes in patients with voice disorders undergoing surgical or behavioral interventions. My ultimate aim is to utilize my research findings to develop novel interventions to prevent and manage voice disorders.

Bath will look to build on their back-to-back Challenge Cup wins this weekend as they return to Premiership action against Exeter.
Bath will be looking to build on their back-to-back Amlin Challenge Cup wins this weekend as they return to Premiership action against Exeter.
Carl Fearns returns to the starting Bath line-up, teaming up with Francois Louw and Ben Skirving in the back-row, as Dominic Day and Dave Attwood continue in the engine room.
Paul James and David Wilson, selected in the Wales and England squads respectively for November, pack down either side of Lee Mears.
Try-scorers against Agen, Michael Claassens and Stephen Donald renew their half-back partnership. Another try-scorer from that game, Kyle Eastmond, lines up on the wing with Tom Biggs on the opposite side. Ben Williams and Dan Hipkiss start in the centres, as Nick Abendanon completes the line-up at full-back.
There are also two notable additions to the bench, as club captain Stuart Hooper makes his first appearance since the game against Sale Sharks four weeks ago, and Horacio Agulla could make his first appearance after completing his international duty with Argentina in the Rugby Championship.
"Exeter have had a run of really hard games, and they will be smarting after the two losses in the Heineken Cup and looking to get back on track," said Forwards Coach Neal Hatley.
"They work harder for each other than most and get good reward from it. We're under no illusions as to the scale of the challenge that awaits us on Saturday."
Meanwhile, Exeter boss Rob Baxter has recalled Australian international Dean Mumm – who was forced to miss last weekend's game because of family reasons – who returns in the second-row in place of club captain Tom Hayes.
On the wing Argentine speedster Gonzalo Camacho makes his first appearance of the season as he gets the nod over Ulsterman Ian Whitten.
Whitten is joined on the bench by scrum-half Kevin Barrett, who comes in for the injured Will Chudley, whilst Academy product Dave Ewers offers options in the back-row.
"We've had a nice, energetic training week and we've seemed to have flown through the whole week," explained Baxter.
"You can see the boys are keen to get back into action and get after these games. We've enjoyed the period we have been through so far, but we're keen to keep moving forward. Yes, they've been tough games, but we've enjoyed it and I think getting into Bath away, another tough fixture, and one which we can't say we have performed all that well in before, it's represents another great challenge for us.
"They [Bath] are doing well; they are in the top half of the league; they've had a couple of good wins in the Amlin and they're very confident right now, so that makes them a dangerous side."
Form: Bath Rugby have won three of their last four games in all competitions, but have been victorious just once in their last four Aviva Premiership encounters: 31-10 at home to Sale in round five. Bath's only reversal in their last four clashes at The Rec was 14-18 to table topping Northampton on 14 September. Exeter Chiefs have won two of their last three matches in the Premiership, but have slipped to five straight defeats away from home in all competitions since beating Worcester 31-26 at Sixways on 14 April. Exeter have not beaten Bath in a competitive game since a 1st round tie at the County Ground in the John Player Cup on 28 January 1978.
The teams:
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Kyle Eastmond, 13 Dan Hipkiss, 12 Ben Williams, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Ben Skirving, 7 Francois Louw (c), 6 Carl Fearns, 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Dominic Day, 3 David Wilson, 2 Lee Mears, 1 Paul James.
Replacements: 16 Brett Sharman, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Stuart Hooper, 20 Will Skuse, 21 Mark McMillan, 22 Sam Vesty, 23 Horacio Agulla.
Exeter: 15 Luke Arscott, 14 Gonzalo Camacho, 13 Phil Dollman, 12 Jason Shoemark, 11 Matt Jess, 10 Gareth Steenson, 9 Haydn Thomas, 8 Richard Baxter, 7 James Scaysbrook, 6 Tom Johnson, 5 James Hanks, 4 Dean Mumm, 3 Carl Rimmer, 2 Simon Alcott, 1 Brett Sturgess.
Replacements: 16 Chris Whitehead, 17 Ben Moon, 18 Chris Budgen, 19 Aly Muldowney, 20 Dave Ewers, 21 Kevin Barrett, 22 Ignacio Mieres, 23 Ian Whitten.
Date: Saturday, October 27
Kick-off: 14:30 BST

It may get annoying constantly hearing Obito's "Negativity Speech" versus Naruto's "Positivity Speech" every chapter, with Kakashi torn between them seemingly unable to decide if he's paralysed with depression or reinvigorated with optimism, but eventually Naruto's side will win out and Naruto/Kakashi will successfully convert Obito.
Interesting, so Naruto is influenced by both Nagato's and Obito's words. Weird that they turn villains and abandon the words of encouragement they left on the world. Naruto embodies their will. Kishi is a good writer for spending years directing the story in this direction.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
- After teleporting himself back KAkashi eye seemed normal?
- nice Gai's daytime tiger knocked Madara Susanoo down!
- Why doesn't Kakashi use Kamui on himself to cut Obito
Kakashi must have super chakra now he has been fighting non stop and spamming MS...did Tsunade make some kind of special energy pill?
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
It's not chakra, so Madara couldn't suck it.
He simply doesn't have enough chakra to let the jutsu work constantly, like Obito.
No sh*t, Kakashi's hair is about to turn red any moment, otherwise it doesn't make sense . If not from chakra exhaustion, then he is going to die from dehydration, he is like sweeting a lot through 20 chapters or so ;P.
Just when it seemed like Madara's wood dragon had Naruto beaten, he found a way to defy the odds and stay in the game when all seems lost. But still it's gonna take something special to overcome zombie Madara with H-face boost and Obito with his hax Kamui. Obito on his own was enough of a handful for Naruto and pals. The stage is set for talk no jutsu to save the day.
1) I half expected Naruto to enter Sage mode when he was being immobilized by the wooden dragon. We are yet to see Kurama run low on Chakra, and Kishi has been all over the place on telling us how much Chakra Kurama actually has. He's gone from saying inexhaustible, to saying Kurama's Chakra is from the Hatred and Animosity of humanity, to say Kurama just has the most chakra of the tailed beasts.
2) One has to wonder how tailed beasts replenish their Chakra, since they don't actually eat food like humans do. It could be that they absorb ambient Natural Energy and Convert this to Chakra.
3) Somehow I think that the solution to Sage Mode while moving is for Kurama to absorb the excess Natural Energy that would have turned Naruto to stone. If this is true Naruto and Kurama together should have access to nearly unlimited Natural Energy and Chakra.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I like your reasoning with thye last one, bro. That'sa good way to keep up with madara's unlimited chakra
Don't know if you read Fairytail, but the analogy would be how a Fairytail Mage absorbs eterno from the ambient surroundings and stores it in their "container" and convert it to magi power.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

The 9-mile Green Bay Trail covers North Shore towns such as Kenilworth, Winnetka, Highland Park and Lake Bluff. Because the trail stays generally within a mile of Lake Michigan, you can take any number of on-road side trips for beachfront views of the lake. The trail is suitable for even the youngest of riders, although the route does use some sidewalks and even a very small portion of residential road in Kenilworth. In addition, the surface alternates between asphalt and crushed limestone. Inexperienced cyclists and those with young children should use particular caution at road crossings and with any road riding.

The park is named for Potter Palmer (1826–1902), a successful businessman and real estate investor concerned with the development of Chicago. Palmer was responsible for reclaiming the acres of swampland north of the city's business district, which were developed into the Lake Shore Drive area. He built the original baseball field for the Cubs' predecessor, the Chicago White Stockings, and built the Palmer House Hotel. Palmer Park was created in 1904 by the South Park Commission. Under the guidance of superintendent J. Frank Foster, the commission opened ten new neighborhood parks, including Palmer Park, in an effort to create breathing space and recreational areas in the city's crowded tenement districts. These parks were built by Olmsted Brothers landscape architects and D.H. Burnham and Co. architects.

Fall Course Update
by gwilson on Sep.27, 2009, under Uncategorized
We're now about a fourth of the way through the semester, and I thought I'd give an update of what's going on in our BIMS courses and program.
BIMS 1300. Intro to Scientific Research. Dr. Benoit has students looking at contemporary issues in science and explaining the science and processes and research to students in the class via formal presentations. Ever wonder what they're talking about with stem cells, how DNA fingerprinting is done, how ethical breaches impact biomedical research? Stop by and you just might find your answers!
BIOL 1301. Unicellular Organisms. Dr. Benoit has had the unfortunate luck over the past few years of seeing every book chosen for this course taken out of print. He's decided to take things into his own hands and has go with a custom published book that draws only the chapters central to his course from a larger textbook. The course is taking a decided cell anatomy and physiology focus to help prepare students for their sophomore level classes.
BIOL 3410. Microbiology. Dr. Wilson has his students screening fresh vegetables for E. coli and other enteric organisms. Next up will be their screening of the campus population for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Real science here conducted by lots of sophomores and juniors from Biology, Nursing, Biochemistry, and Biomedical Science majors.
BIOL 3460. Genetics. Dr. DiFrancesca will be missing class in mid-October to attend the American Association for Cancer Research meeting in San Diego. By then, the students will have isolated their own DNA and will be in the midst of PCR and analysis. While she's gone, the students will have a guest lecture by Dr. Jon Weidanz of the Texas Tech School of Pharmacy in Abilene (and the founder of the biotech firm Receptor Logic) discussing the genetics of biotech research. Amazing things going on in here!
BIOL 4320. Molecular Cell Biology. Students are getting a great foundation in the fundamentals of molecular structure and control of eukaryotic cells. This course represents the content capstone for BIMS juniors, where knowledge from previous semesters is integrated into a full understanding of how cells work. Dr. DiFrancesca has got it going on in here!
BIMS 4120. Molecular Cell Biology Lab. Here, Dr. DiFrancesca builds on skills learned in Genetics the year before to provide a deep experience in molecular biology techniques. Students have not begun working with cancer cells yet but will embark on that journey before much longer. Imagine the conversation around the dinner table at Thanksgiving – "Sonny, what are you doing in your classes at McMurry?" "Well, grandma, we're studying and trying to find cures for breast cancer." Is that the type of thing you'd hear from average students from average schools?
So, its business as usual in the BIMS courses, all geared toward giving students real experience solving real problems. When you compare this approach to education to those from other colleges and universities, you see very quickly that we take a different approach and give our students a different experience because the futures of our students depend on doing so.

We love cool, destroyed denim as much as anyone, but there's a science to the tears. That's why, when we see people like Kristen Stewart, Lindsay Lohan, and Nicki Hilton wearing jeans like this, we just want to reach out, hug them, and get their denim straight into therapy. And, if you've got holes in your knees that make you look like you drunkenly tripped and fell (Lindsay…), send them to Denim Therapy and we'll help you get cleaned up.

About the MedusaTo Gianni Versace, his company logo, the Medusa, which he adopted from a sculpture of the figure from Greek mythology, was more than just a logo. It became the spirit of the House of Versace. The designer put the image on elegant apparel and had his models strike Medusa poses. Asked why he chose Medusa, Versace said, "She is seduction, a sense of history, classicism… she is a fatal attraction."

Last week the Lady Spartans traveled to St. George to play a couple of basketball games and come home with a couple of wins as they would continue being the best team in 3-A girls basketball. Dixie and Pine View forgot to read the script though and Emery came home with two losses instead. Emery suffered a 34-32 loss to Dixie on Thursday night and followed that up with a 43-31 loss the next night at Pine View.
In the two games, Emery did not play particularly well but they were assisted in their losses by the refereeing or lack thereof. On Thursday night, Emery shot only eight free throws in the entire game despite the fact that the Lady Flyers apparently thought they were in a roller derby match. The referees assisted the Flyers in their style of play and Dixie came from behind to secure the 2-point victory.
At Pine View, Emery again did not play particularly well as the Panther coach thought that his team took Emery out of their game plan. Actually it was refereeing again and Emery's lack of putting the ball in the hoop.
At the end of the first period, Coach Steve Gordon was heard telling his team "How many lay-ups have we missed, six or seven? We have got to make our lay-ups." They failed to respond to this request. You do not win many games if you do not score and this night the Emery Spartans did not score. They missed lay-ups all night and they did not hit an outside shot until Camille Fehlberg connected on a 3-pointer with less than three minutes to go. They were only 10 for 22 at the free throw line as they were only 2 for 8 in the final quarter. They also did not rebound well either.
Shala Pitchforth was the leading scorer against Dixie with 10 points. Camille and Ashley Hansen each scored 7 points. Alexis Swasey, Jodi Lundell, Meagan Pearson and Tahna Merrell each scored 2 points.
Camille led the team against the Panthers with 11 points and Alexis added 8 points. Shala, Tahna, Jodi and Rachel Rasmussen each scored 2 points and Ashley and Meagan each scored a single point.
Emery is at home Wednesday night as they host Uintah in the Spartan Center. Hopefully the team that was ranked number one will be there.

Sky Bet 11/1 for British CL winner
Sky Bet go 11/1 for one of the three remaining British clubs to win the Champions League after they were all handed tough opponents in the last 16.
- Related Content
Manchester United are the main drifters in the betting after being paired with second favourites Real Madrid, prompting their price to go out from 10/1 to 14/1.
Like United, Arsenal are also odds-against to make the quarter-finals as they face Bayern Munich, and have been pushed out from 25/1 to 33/1 consequently.
Celtic, who will face Juventus, are now the longest price of any sides left in the competition at 125/1, having been 100/1 before the draw.
Sky Bet's Chris Spicer said: "In drawing Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, the two Premier League sides have been handed the pre-draw second and third favourites, so things could not have gone much worse.
"All three British sides are outsiders to make the quarter-finals now and we go 7/5 that none of them will progress."
Sky Bet quote 35/1 that all three sides make the last eight or 13/2 that both Premier League sides progress.
At the top of the outright betting, Barcelona have hardened after they drew AC Milan, with the Catalan giants now 2/1 favourites.

'We've seen people give up positions all the time in this sport to give a teammate a point.'
Under the dark cloud of a record-setting NASCAR penalty, Michael Waltrip defended his organization and now-suspended general manager Ty Norris on Tuesday, saying he would have done the same thing Norris did if faced with a similar situation.
In an interview with Fox Sports 1's Race Hub, Waltrip said the Michael Waltrip Racing team was "not immoral (and) not irresponsible" despite what NASCAR said was a manipulation of Saturday night's Richmond race.
MWR was penalized $300,000 and driver Martin Truex Jr. was removed from the Chase for the Sprint Cup on Monday night after NASCAR said the team's late-race actions went against the spirit of competition.
Norris, who got the blame for orchestrating the sequence of events, was suspended indefinitely.
But Waltrip insisted the team didn't have a plan to get Truex into the Chase by having driver Brian Vickers make an unnecessary pit stop to give up a point.
Rather, it was a split-second decision made by Norris.
BOWYER: He apologizes during awkward TV interview
NASCAR: Issues historic penalties to MWR
"What the penalties were for was 55 coming down pit road to give up a spot and enable the 56 to make the Chase" Waltrip said. "It's impossible to defend, because we did it. But I mean, the caution was out, Ty was looking at the numbers and was like, 'Pit, pit! We need that position.' And so we pitted.
"If I had been standing beside Ty at that moment, I don't know that I would have done anything differently. I'm afraid I wouldn't have, because we've seen people give up positions all the time in this sport to give a teammate a point. It happens. We've seen the leader pull over so another guy can lead, so I would have screwed that one up, too."

Waltrip said he did not believe driver Clint Bowyer's spin -- deemed suspicious by many given the circumstances and radio chatter that led up to the incident -- was intentional.
"You saw the video, you heard the audio," Waltrip said. "I stand behind my driver. NASCAR looked at the situation and they didn't think he spun on purpose, so I have no reason to believe that's the case."
The team owner and two-time Daytona 500 winner said he was being "100%" truthful about having no knowledge of Norris' plan.
RYAN COLUMN: NASCAR's punishment won't fix problem
"There was no master plan and I was not a part of any conversations about the spin, about the 55 pitting," Waltrip said. "Ty made a call I would have been as guilty of making.
"That's why it's so hurtful when people you respect and you know in the industry are so mean. People that know me know I take stuff personally. I act like I'm always in a good mood when I'm not, but it's my job. It's been hard.
"I just hate people questioning who I am, because I know who I am and my daughters know who I am and they still love me, so we'll get through it."

The goblins of Goblin Valley have some new stomping grounds as the campground restoration project nears completion. Park Manager, Eugene Swalberg said, "We are so excited to see this project near completion. The campground reopened on April 1. We wanted to be sure to be open for Easter which is our biggest weekend. There are still a few things remaining to be finished, but for the most part things are winding down. We have a new RV dump station which is paved. Concrete pads have been installed at each of the 24 sites for picnic tables. We don't have new picnic tables yet, but we have been assured they will be coming. The concrete has a special red dye in it which matches the surroundings almost exactly. It blends in really good.
"We have also added an ADA accessible site which we didn't have before, which will include a raised tent pad. This site is the closest to the restroom. We will also have a host site. Anyone interested in being a camp host can contact our volunteer coordinator, Robin Watson in the state office. Anyone wishing to make a reservation for our campground can call 1-800-322-3770.
"New privacy shelters and sun and wind breaks are being installed at each of the sites, they have a roof and sides and one side is equipped with a screen. They act as a good wind break and provide some relief from the sun. It really gets hot out here during the summer. A new restroom and showers will also be installed by the end of the summer.
"Some of the sites have tent pads and they all have new paved parking areas. They have ground grills and fire rings. The campground has become more spread out and private.
"We are really excited about the group use area. It will have a large parking area and a 30 x 60 pavilion over the picnic tables. It will accommodate large groups up to 60 people. There will be water at the group site and at four other central locations throughout the campground and at the dump station. Water is a scarce commodity around here. All of our water comes from a solar powered well with a submersible pump with an auto float. We have two 20,000 gallon storage tanks. The water is tested by the state every three months and it's always good. We are totally off the grid for power, so our power also comes from solar panels.
"We have one permanent ranger at Goblin Valley and that is Aaron Farmer. He refers to himself as the 'Head Goblin.' We are also looking for two seasonal workers who can stay on site. We are also going to advertise for the position of assistant park manager for the two parks, Goblin Valley and Green River State Park at the golf course. The assistant park manager will manage the day to day operations at Goblin Valley and I will spend one-two days a week out here, too. Blaine Luke and Tim Smith from state parks were instrumental in seeing these improvements to fruition.
"The money for the project comes from the Division of Parks and Recreation and was appropriated by the legislature. Goblin Valley became a state park in 1974 and since that time we haven't had a lot of attention. So we were definitely due. This project has been in the works for three years and we've just been waiting for it all to come together to make it a reality.
"Nielson Construction has done the paving and the shaping and configuration of the campground. They have constructed the spurs for parking and for camp trailers. The crew from the division has done all the cement pads and the cement under the pavilion. Members of the crew are, Duane Swasey, Mike Adams and Lawrence Burraston. This has saved a lot of money. If we had to contract that out it would have really raised our expenses. The crew has also constructed the shade shelters. The division has four regions statewide and on March 8 the crews from the other regions joined our crew and helped with the cement and shelters.
"Nielson's has really done a great job. Legrand Johnson from Moab has the cement contract. Dan Harrison from Green River also installed a new water line and complete water distribution system in the park from the top of the hill down. Johansen and Tuttle did the engineering work and they have done an outstanding job, we really like how it has turned out. Rex Funk from the county road department and the county commissioners have been great to work with. Green River City has also been very cooperative on this new venture.
"A new vault toilet has been installed at the overlook and a cement walkway will be put in there as well.
"Easter is our busiest weekend followed by UEA weekend. We had 85,000 visitors last year. We are down this year, with the campground being closed in March. March is one of our busiest months. Spring and fall are usually the peak out here. We hope to increase usage in the summer with the increased amenities in the campground. People can use our campground as a staging area to access the Swell. We don't have ATV riding within the park, but on the old road at the bottom of the hill you can stage your ATVs and access Temple Mountain, Little Wild Horse, Swasey's Cabin and many other attractions. There are miles of roads out there," said Swalberg.
Swalberg replaced long time park manager, Blaine Luke on March 8. Swalberg is the caretaker of two parks, Goblin Valley and Green River State Park. "We have had a lot of good support over the years. As soon as the snow was off the golf course in Green River, we had a lot of people out. We receive most of our compliments on the course design and our greens at the Green River Golf Course. We strive to do our best. The next nine holes are always on the back burner and Sen. Mike Dmitrich is a big supporter of the Green River Golf Course. I am still learning about that aspect of my new job and I'm striving to improve as a golfer. The mayor, Glen Johnson works at the course and we've hired Blaine Luke back part time to help out there as well.
"We are excited about the improvements here at Goblin Valley and the golf course. We want people to come and check out the improvements and stay in the campground. One of the construction workers from Nielson's Construction when he came out to work on the asphalt said he had never been here before and he had lived in Elmo all of his life. He said he thought the park was over by Ghost Rock somewhere. So, that shows me that there are a lot of Emery County people who haven't discovered Goblin Valley and what it has to offer," said Swalberg.

What's with the alliterative names of Newfoundland and Labrador festivals?
27 May 2013 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Festivals & Events and Gros Morne National Park
The weather forecast was not looking great but the music line up included one of our favourite bands – The Dardenelles – so we booked a room at the clean and comfortable Meeting Hill Cottages (http://grosmorne.com/meetinghillcottages/) and decided to check out the ever popular Trail, Tales and Tunes Festival in Norris Point on Friday, May 24 and Saturday May 25. We arrived in Rocky Harbour in light rain showers and met Marilyn Butt who showed us to our cottage.

The Tablelands are backcountry skiing mecca in Newfoundland that attracts skiers from across the Island and beyond in the months of April and May. This area is located between the communities of Woody Point and Trout River in Gros Morne National Park and there is a turn off and large parking lot giving quick access to the mountains.

Five highlights from a road trip down Newfoundland's Route 430.
12 Apr 2013 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Skiing & Snowboarding , Nature and Geography
On Tuesday, April 9, 2013 John Moores and I headed up to check out the snow stability and snow depths along the flank of Blow me down Mountain near Corner Brook. This area has a great setting for exploring in all seasons but it is particularly scenic in the winter when the white snow contrasts with the deep blue water of the Bay of Islands. Add to this the progressively steeper snow slopes mean that you have terrain that can be adapted to your skills and equipment.
25 Mar 2013 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Snowmobiling and Outdoor Adventure
"You know most of my clients are novice snowmobilers. I would say that at least 60% have never driven a sled before so we spend the first 15-20 minutes of a tour showing them how to steer and stop a snowmobile as well as the basic hand signals. I have had people this year from England, Ireland and even Pakistan but most of my clients come from the East Coast of the province." Darren told us recently over the phone.

If you're a winter enthusiast, Newfoundland and Labrador is the ultimate destination for outdoor adventure. With an annual snowfall of up to 16 feet, and the activity season running into March and April, there's no shortage of winter fun.

Cross country skiing is a great way to get out and enjoy winter in Newfoundland. Cross country skiing is good exercise since both legs and arms get a workout and like its name suggests, you can cross country ski just about anywhere there is snow. But a popular option for many people is to visit a cross country ski facility. Many communities in the province have ski clubs where there are trails groomed specifically for cross country skiing.
25 Oct 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Nature and Humber Valley
Fall hiking in the Humber Valley of Western Newfoundland has numerous options but a favourite with many people is the short trek to Barry's Lookout. We did this trail on Sunday, October 14 and the autumn leaves were splendid. The trail was abit muddy due to the recent wet weather so waterproof hiking boots are recommended. What makes this trip such a standout is that it is short-just 1. 8 km (1 way) yet it gives outstanding views of Humber Valley.
11 Oct 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Nature
Corner Brook is the envy of many places in Newfoundland due to its impressive outdoor setting which really comes into its own in October when the trees change colour. As we write this on October 9, 2012 the colours are nearing their peak and the view of the city from the quarry overlook is one place to get great images of the whole area.
17 Sep 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Golfing and Top Destinations
Fall in the Humber Valley means brilliant autumn colours and where better to enjoy these than on Newfoundland's top rated golf course. The golf course at Humber Valley Resort is ranked as the second best course in Atlantic Canada and one of Canada's top 20 courses according to manager Gary Oke. We recently got a chance to play the course and it was in very good shape, despite from recent heavy rains. This course will test all of your golfing skills from tee to green.
24 Aug 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Golfing
A few weeks ago we had an opportunity to try out 2 golf courses in Central Newfoundland and we recently had a chance to check out 2 others in Western Newfoundland. On Wednesday, August 22 we played at the Blomidon Golf Club in Corner Brook. Although a few showers passed overhead in the morning by the time we hit the first tee at 12:40 pm the sun was out and fluffy white clouds drifted across the sky. The Blomidon Golf Course was the host of the 2012 Provincial Golf Championships and is a very scenic course, especially in the fall as the trees change colour.

Daniel Payne is a well known musician from Cow Head who is in demand as a performer across the province. In fact, when we saw his Gros Morne Summer Music performance on Tuesday, August 7 he told us he had just arrived from the St. John's Folk Festival just before the show was to start. He had planned on getting to the Corner Brook Arts and Culture Centre earlier than 7:50 pm (for his 8:00 pm show!) but there was fog on the Avalon Peninsula to which he said "That is no surprise" but then he got a flat tire just outside of Grand Falls "and that was a surprise".
7 Aug 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Culture and Gros Morne National Park
One focus of Gros Morne Summer Music (GMSM) for this year is Andrew Lloyd Webber who is best known for creating some of the best known musicals of the last 40 years. Musicals like Jesus Christ Superstar, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Evita, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat are just some of his creations....

"Elvis and Mavis" has many themes that will resonate with people from Newfoundland where the tug of the big city dreams runs full tilt into the living in the province's rural areas. And in the 1990's when this play is set, the cod fishery is gone so trying to earn a living in Newfoundland's outports is harder than ever. Elvis (Colin Furlong) has just lost his job at the Roddickton fish plant and is frustrated with the general loss of control of Newfoundland's resources so he decides to blow up the dam at Churchill Falls unless the unfair contract with Quebec can be renegotiated.
2 Aug 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Boat Tours and Fishing
f you want to go cod fishing from a traditional Newfoundland dory then you need to contact Darren Park. Darren is a top notch guide and operates 2 Newfoundland dories for tours of the Goose and Penguin Arm and is based in Cox's Cove at the end of the North Shore highway (highway 440) near Corner Brook. His dory fishing trips are unique in the province and are very popular during the recreational cod fishery which runs from July 21-August 12, 2012.

Gros Morne Summer Music (GMSM) has just started its summer season and has a full schedule of performances that will run until August 26, 2012. On Mondays in Corner Brook and Saturdays in Woody Point you can catch the show "Sherlock Holmes and the German of Bonne Bay" which is styled after radio drama which was popular in the 1930's and 40's. On stage you see an announcer, a sound effects specialist and 2 musicians which provide the superb background music and even advertisements for such things as kidney pills!

"My goal is to create memorable performances about this place –Cow Head and Newfoundland in general -that will appeal to both local residents and visitors alike" Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's artistic director Jeff Pitcher told us recently. And the dinner theatre performance of "Sinking of the S.S. Ethie" fits this philosophy to a tee. This is the show that started it all for Theatre Newfoundland Labrador in Cow Head and it has been running to full houses since 1996.
26 Jul 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Boat Tours , Nature and Gros Morne National Park
"I love my office" grinned Ryan Young above the roar of the motor as we skipped over the small waves of Trout River Pond. "This southern part of Gros Morne National Park is undiscovered by many people and it is too bad since it is a spectacular area."
We were doing a new Ocean Quest boat tour (http://www.oceanquestadventures.com/services/tourist/gros-morne-national-park) that started on Trout River Pond, and we had to agree - Trout River Pond is amazing since it is surrounded by steep cliffs 550-600 meters high and it is 15 km long.
23 Jul 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Nature , Culture , Entertainment and Gros Morne National Park
We think Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's new show "Newfoundland Vinyl" is a must see for those people who are interested in Newfoundland music from the 1960's, 70's and 80's. The backstory for the show is that Gros Morne Theatre Festival regulars "Ed and Ed" are throwing a musical fundraiser – for themselves! The music has a definite country flavour and includes hits made popular by A. Frank Willis, Roy Payne, Joan Morrissey, Harry Hibbs and Tom Cahill.

"They do run extremely narrow so if you do have wide feet I would not recommend this shoe to you. The printed part is completely fabric so only the bottom half is actually waterproof. I am 5'3'' so these boots come up completely over my knee."

Cute boots!
"I live in San Diego, and the other day it rained. It's kind of a big deal for us, so I immediately jumped on dsw.com and ordered these boots. They are reallly comfy. The foot part is pretty tight and the calf part is really loose and you have a lot of extra space behind your calf. I wish they had a little bit of a heel, but overall these are suuuper comfy and cute. I just hope it rains again so I have a chance to wear them..."
