East Dummerston, VT 05346-9764
From I-91 heading north take Exit 3, go 3/4 of the way around roundabout, turn right onto US 5, go north 3.5 miles. KOA is on the right. Look for the KOA sign at the entrance. KOA is 1 mile beyond Hidden Acres. To avoid the roundabout or heading south on I-91, take Exit 4, turn onto US 5 and go 2.8 miles south. KOA is on the left.
Be aware in 2016 the I91 bridge between exits 2 and 3 will be under repair and delays are expected on Fridays and holiday weekends. Alternative route - If traveling north on I91, take exit 2, go on Route 9 east to Route 5 north in downtown Brattleboro. We are ~6 miles north of that point, again the second campground on the right. If traveling south on I91, get off exit 4 as usual.

I would like to give Brian Oswalt and GMPR The Captn's Sierra Shadow Ale MH QAA "porter" a big congrats on their running so far at the trial. Last I heard they were in the third series. Porter just passed his grand master pointing retriever title after only being with his trainer for 6 weeks. Porter has been out of field trials for the last two years, and just returned from his APLA training last week. It's amazing what these older dogs can still get done! Go Porter!!!

I decided to start a new thread about this. Since almost nobody is talking about it.
But by order of Lucasfilm... likely due to the new rules for the Expanded Universe... EU Figures are Off-Limits.
Confirmed by Jedi Temple Archives after speaking to Hasbro at Toy Fair. Sorry EU Fans.
Jedi Temple Archives:
http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/co...icle&sid=13152Expanded Universe Fans: We're Doomed!
"This is madness!" "I have a bad feeling about this." Or enter any other dark Star Wars phrase to express the really bad decision to end a very important property. We don't like it, but we imagine it had to eventually happen. Although we don't see eye to eye with Hasbro on this decision, they are sadly being directed by Lucasfilm to avoid a huge and fertile property. Please ensure you are sitting down before reading this one. Click through for more.
The Expanded Universe is dead folks. Hasbro has been directed by Lucasfilm, Ltd. (the culprit in many of Hasbro's bad business decisions) to avoid the Expanded Universe like the plague. Not only is it next to impossible that we'll see a brand new Expanded Universe figure in the near future (we're talking years folks), older and hard to find figures will NEVER see re-release either.
So far there is already an exception. Hasbro has received permission to get Bastila Shan, Darth Malgus, the Republic Trooper and Starkiller out into the line again, but that's only because of the distribution nightmare surrounding The Vintage Collection which have been planned way in advance to the recently announced "No EU" directive.
Hasbro said, and I quote, to "not expect to ever see Jaina Solo or Jacen Solo or any other older Comic Packs figure re-released in any way to get out to collectors".
Sorry to be the bearer of tragic news, but that's what's going down.
On a related note, we will see a huge cutback on the characters from the Prequel Trilogy as well. They're not off limits, but the focus will be on the Original Trilogy and Star Wars: Rebels for the foreseeable future. And just to be clear, this is from the perspective of action figures. We don't know any decisions of comics, video games and the like, so be sure not to say "JTA said there are no more EU comics or video games coming", because that would be a lie. Thank you.
http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/co...icle&sid=13166Q: Is it theoretically possible that we get some of the last comic-pack figures (Exar Kun, Montross etc) re-released in The Black series?
A: No. With the exception of some TBS carry-forwards from The Vintage Collection, releasing older EU characters or making new ones are completely off limits per Lucasfilm. From a toy perspective only, the EU is dead for now.

If you haven't already done so, hustle down to Portland City Hall and sign up to run for mayor.
Don't hesitate just because you have no experience in municipal government. Don't be concerned if your resume includes a felony conviction and pending warrants for your arrest. Don't even let the fact that you've never lived in Portland and have no intention of moving there stand in your way.
There's no reason not to become a candidate in this November's election, since Portland has instituted a system that makes it possible — even likely — for people to become the city's mayor who would otherwise be unelectable. Which is particularly sweet when you realize the job pays $66,000 a year and doesn't require any heavy lifting.
That's right, you — yes, you with the opiate addiction, the unpaid child support, the unsightly nostril hair, and the T-shirt that says "I Love DeCoster Eggs" — can claim the highest office in Maine's most populous city because Portland is about to institute something called ranked-choice voting.
Here's how it works. Instead of voters looking at a list of candidates and picking the one they think is best, based on experience, character, intelligence, and issues, they just vote for all of them. Rather than spend a lot of time sorting out the serious contenders from the seriously deranged ones, they list everybody in the order they'd like to see them finish.
Then, on election night, the new system, also known as instant-runoff voting, kicks in. If no candidate gets chosen first on a majority of ballots, the last-place finisher (who's probably serving a life sentence for murder and advocated making Osama bin Laden Appreciation Day a legal holiday) is eliminated, and those votes are distributed to whomever his or her supporters (homicidal maniacs, mostly) designated as their second choices.
If that still doesn't give somebody more than 50 percent, the next-lowest name is dropped and so on, until a candidate either claims victory or the whole mess dissolves into anarchy. Which wouldn't be too different from Portland's current government.
This opens the door to lucrative political careers for folks who've, until now, been excluded from public office due to poor personal hygiene, pronounced Nazi sympathies, or a tendency to kick puppies and babies. To have a real shot at winning, all they have to do is get enough second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-place votes to outlast half the field. After that, the choice for new mayor is a crap shoot.
At this point, there are a dozen more-or-less official candidates for the mayor's job, with several others considering their options. Even if all of them don't make it on the ballot, there are bound to be seven or eight that do. With a field that large, the opportunities for mischief abound.
Because instant-runoff voting discourages negative campaigning (candidates don't want to alienate voters who support their rivals in case they still might have a shot at being their second choice) and because media coverage of the race is likely to be superficial, mayoral hopefuls won't have to explain such trifles as an assault conviction (Erick Bennett), a business failure (Jodie Lapchick), a political failure (Charles Bragdon, Erick Bennett), a failure to have lived in Portland for more than about 20 minutes (Erick Bennett, Ralph Carmona), a lack of any apparent political skills (Erick Bennett, Christopher Vail, Peter Bryant, Steven Houston, Zouhair Bouzrara), or stupid statements (Zouhair Bouzrara told the Portland Phoenix, "For me personally, my dream is to turn Portland into a mini Nice or a mini Dubai." Erick Bennett on MySpace: "I was in line at Starbucks today letting my mind wander and the thought popped in my head, 'Do you know why Barack's initals (sic) are B.O., because he stinks.'").

Sickle Cell Anemia
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder. It alters the shape of the red blood cells (RBCs). This decreases their ability to carry oxygen. It can also cause acute episodes of pain. These are called a sickle cell crisis. The body will also destroy the sickle cells. The loss of RBCs results in anemia . The change in the ability and number of RBCs can decrease the amount of oxygen for the body.
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder. If you receive one defective gene from each of your parents, then you will have sickle cell disease. If you only have one defective gene, you are said to have sickle cell trait, but not sickle cell disease. Although you won't usually have any symptoms, you can pass this gene on to your children.

is a form of prenatal testing. It can also detect sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell anemia cannot be prevented. There are some general guidelines that may keep the condition under control. Be sure to discuss these with your doctor:
Take daily
folic acid
supplements. This will help to build new RBCs.
- Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
- Avoid temperature extremes.
- Avoid overexertion and stress.

- Seek genetic counseling.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance for sickle cell anemia include:
- Race: Blacks of sub-Saharan origin
- Ethnicity: Greeks, Italians, and people from some parts of India, Central and South America, and the Arabian Peninsula
This condition produces a group of symptoms known as a sickle cell crisis. These are episodes of pain that occur with varying frequency and severity. It is usually followed by periods of remission. The risk for a sickle cell crisis increases with any activity that boosts the body's requirement for oxygen. This may include illness, physical or emotional
stress, or high altitudes.
These painful crises can last hours or days. They affect the bones of the back, the long bones, and the chest. The crises can be severe enough to require hospital admission for pain control and IV fluids.
Symptoms of sickle cell crisis include:
- Pain and swelling in the hands and feet
- Fever
- Jaundice
- Pale skin color
- Chest pain, or episodic pain in joints, abdomen, or back
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Abdominal swelling
- Unusual or prolonged headache
- Any sudden weakness or loss of sensation
- Prolonged erection
- Sudden vision changes
Sudden, severe anemia can cause:
- Weakness
- Shortness of breath
- Loss of consciousness
Complications of sickle cell anemia include:
- Destruction of the spleen
Severe bacterial infections:
- Pneumonia
- Meningitis
- Kidney and bone infections
- Damage to the joints, especially hip and shoulder
- Gallstones
- Damage to eyes, resulting in impaired vision
- Stroke
or other neurological impairment
- Seizures
- Liver disease
High rate of
hepatitis C
Damage to penis, due to prolonged erection, which may result in
- Heart murmurs
or enlarged heart
- Delayed growth
- Delayed sexual development
- Problems with thinking, memory, and performance
- Aplastic crisis or transient red cell aplasia
Basic treatment of sickle cell crisis includes:
- Bed rest
- Pain relief medicines
- Oral and IV fluids
- Oxygen—to reduce pain and prevent complications
In addition, treatment may include:

This past week the House Banking committee had some of the CEO's from the major banks take a day off and have a chat with them. Watching this I saw the same old tired rhetoric I see from all these people in charge, whether that be the oil industry, Health care, Tobacco etc and that is " I am not responsible". For me it is time for these people to step up and admit the problems that occurred were due to some of the actions they took, and for them now to step down and hand in their resignations. These are individuals rich beyond are imagination. To continue to let them run these company's is to ask for the same problems we have now. These guys are looking out for there best interests............ not the interests of the people who now are on the hook for their failures. They will find loopholes in the laws that will enable them to continue to receive these exorbitant salaries and they will also make sure there companys will flourish with taxpayers money.
Having said that I saw a piece on Bill Moyers journal that I thought was particularly educational. I would recommend that any of you that are concerned about this crisis take 15 minutes and watch it.
I would be interested in your viewpoints and look forward to your comments.

Hey Ghost
Sounds good on the last week of the season I think that is always the best week anyhow. The sportsmans show was far from slow I made it up three times, twice to meet some of HS STRUTS people and one time to survey the fly fishing purveyors.Also got to see the turkey calling contest the calling this year was good to say the least. On SUNDAY the day of the contest you could hardly move in the main area glad we were in the small arena,TUE.AND Thur. It wasn't bad,I just came from Bass Pro and the parking lot was full as people were takeing the buses from there and the manager said it was twice as crowded yesterday. It was a good show however the outfitters seem to be takeing a beating due to the economy being what it is. There wasn't many custom call makers there but the commercial crowd was there as usual. Albert Paul didn't show up although he had a booth reserved.
The time frame is bad for the call makers since Nashville is right around the corner and traveling being expensive.

10 of America's Most Dangerous Roads
Price: $1.7 million
A Newell motor home is a penthouse apartment on wheels—and they cost about as much. Newells are so custom and so exclusive, in fact, that each one is individually numbered. Newell No. 1488 costs a cool $1.7 million and has an interior nicer than most homes or hotel rooms.
What do you get for a couple million bucks? How about a 45-foot motor home with four slide-out rooms, 47-inch and 42-inch TVs, Sub-Zero appliances, a washer and dryer, miles of real marble, and a full-security camera system. Oh, and a 600-hp Cummins diesel that generates 1950 lb-ft of torque to move this thing around. Yes, a Newell is pure fantasy. But it sure would be fun to take a road trip across the country in one.
Price: $100,000-plus
Perhaps no other RV nameplate is as iconic and revered as Airstream. The sleek aluminum travel trailers were first produced in 1936 and are some of the most luxurious travel trailers on the market. The most modern Airstream produced today is the 28-foot 2014 Land Yacht, built to emulate the upscale watercraft from which it is named.
Outside, the trailer preserves the classic Airstream aluminum shell. Inside, there are sleek furnishings by Italian cabinetmaker Tecnoform including teak woods, Corian counters, soft leather, and LED lighting. The Land Yacht sleeps up to five and has a gross vehicle weight rating of 9000, so a modern light-duty fullsize pickup with the right tow package can handle the towing chores.

Setting up 2 tanks 30 gallon 100 gallon inspiration needed
Hey, im in the early stages of setting up my 2 tanks from being shut down for a few months for personal issues. I have now gotten an apartment and have just filled the tanks with substrate, rocks and logs.
Plants i don't have any left but i do have a few fishes left that ill pick up in a day or so.
30 gallon
SA theme
Heavily planted
20-25 Paracheirodon axelrodi or Paracheirodon innesi
2-3 Apisto (Btaeniata, Cacatuoides or Viejita)
1 Ancistrus
100 gallon need ideas here
SA theme
Not sure if any plants maybe give ideas
3-4 Pterophyllum scalare
3-4 Cleithracara maronii
8-10 Corydoras mix of paleatus and sterbai
1 Black ghost (only if i can find cheap quite an expensive fish were i live)
I also have a question about starting up these tanks. last time i did this 2 years ago i had plants long before the fish arrived, now i don't have any plants so should i wait to get my fish until i have bought some plants to stick into the tanks?
I have quite a few miles to go to nearest aquarium store so don't want to go just to get a few plants to come back in a few weeks to buy new fish.
Come with ideas and tips on how i can make my tanks look awsome.
Last edited by Nailroth; 05-08-2013 at 08:10 PM.
Plants before, with fish or after fish, it's up to you. It's easier to plant the tank when the water level is lower. Plants can be introduced into the tank during the cycle without harm so you can usually plant the tank while it's setting up.
As your aware the tank needs to cycle so adding fish may take some time unless you have a filter from a cycled tank you can add to the new set-up.
Your lightening wasn't mentioned so picking plants for an S.A. setup would be difficult.
I would plant first, get it the way you like it, then after the tank is cycled add stock.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.

I have no cycled filter or anything the fish i was able to keep are going in asap to get the cycle going without fish no bacteria to grow.
plants ill go with what ever i can find in the aquarium store. to expensive for me to order specific plants.
i was thinking of planting the tanks first before i start the cycle since it should be safer with plants in that eat the toxins that will come with an uncycled tank.
Word of warning, you'll be going for a fish-in cycle there.
During this the fish are put under a lot of stress as the various waste handling bacteria grow. You'll have to be doing a ton of water changes to keep ammonia/nitrite levels really low.
There's a brilliant sticky on the forums (link below) here regarding how to cycle a tank without fish in, a fishless cycle. It's a faster,easier and you won't be putting any of your stock into stressful and toxic conditions.
Also worth noting that plants mostly consume the end result of the cycle, nitrate. They won't help with ammonia and nitrite in any way that will be noticeable to the fish.

I have been thinking about putting 3-4 swords plant in the back part of the 100 gallon tank and leave it at that. The 30 gallons are probably going to have some low growing plants in in the foreground to cover all of the gravel should look extremely good with the neon tetras or cardinal tetras i plan to have in there. Ill update with some pictures when i got something to update with.
I hope you got soft water, everything on your list wants that
Tank 2... I don't know, seems volatile to me with so little cover. Hope the black ghost isn't going to try and eat cories, it could hurt itself. Mixing cories in these low numbers, I wouldnt. Stick to a single species and get some more.
Start planting now while the tanks cycle, gives you chance to model it just so before you introduce fish.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Small update:
The big Black angelfish has been moved to the 30 gallon tank for a few days needs to cool her temper down kept attack all the others even her mate (i think mate they always keeps toghter same as why i think its a female since i know the yellow one are a male, has spawned with another female and has a giant hump on the head like many angel males gets)
I don't think it's a very stressed environment since the young pair has started to clean a spawning spot, will probably spawn in the next few hours.
Also a small question. How long does it take until i can feed more normaly again? now i feed once a day with pretty much 1 flake for each fish just to keep the feeding to a minimum to keep the nitrite spikes in check

Many caregivers who have attended the Fearless
Caregiver Conferences have asked me for a copy of the following story
with which I usually open my speeches. The story is attributed to
George Carlin, but he always denied having written it.
Nonetheless, it really speaks to me as a caregiver and hopefully to you
as well:
The Paradox of our Time
The paradox of our time in history is that we have
taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower
viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less
time. We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less
judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less
In this Issue
Loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer's may be struggling
from the four "A's" of the disease – anxiety, agitation, aggression and apathy.
Another "A" is a proven way to lessen the other symptoms, while providing a sense
of peace and familiarity for loved ones. That is "Art." ...more
Bess' Alzheimer's disease has progressed to late stage. She lives
with her husband, Don, in a small town. They have four adult children, three of whom
live several hours away and one who lives across the country, who are anxious and unsure
of what to do as their mother continues to decline. It is time for a family meeting, but
where do they start? ...more
There is a ring at the front door and you answer. A
kind-hearted gentleman informs you that he has just fixed your
neighbor's roof and he has a lot of material left over. He tells you
that your roof is in bad shape and there is a bad storm brewing. He says
that your house could get damaged and cost you thousands if you don't
act now. In fact, he will give you a special rate if you pay up front in
cash. You don't want to have a leaky roof and you can't pass up such a
great deal. You agree to have your roof fixed and hand over a large sum
of money on the spot. You later find out that nothing is wrong with your
roof and you have just been swindled out of thousands ...more
It hits me hard
As I plow along
Like a robot
Feels like I go it alone
The days and nights
Blend into one another
A faint glimpse of joy
Eludes like wind blows a feather
Thanks for sharing the journey
The young and the old
Find refuge and safety
Confidences safe that are told
There is strength in numbers
A trust and a bond
A safe place
People with whom I feel one
I spot the rainbow
Small steps I make
With those at my side
The light glows
Capturing the light
Carrying the torch
I now remember
Starting as a mere glimpse
A promise unfolding
Now the flame is within me
Beauty to share radiantly shines
…The spirit of humankind

text: Hmmm If I wanted a dog that I knew was going to cut it hunting, I'd go for a started dog over a puppy. With a started dog you know what your getting, you know they can do the job and have the instinct. Also if you like that bench-y look, you know your getting it if you look into a started dog, that has that look. With a puppy you never know what your going to get, could be a maniac hunter, might be a really nice couch potato. It could be a show looker, might be wiry little runt. With a started dog I can take it home and be hunting tomorrow, with a puppy you'll have to put in a year or so of puppy work before that will be possible, that's if the pup turns out. Yes with a good breeding you can hedge your bet, but you still have a bunch of unknowns. A started dog will usually cost you less in the long run, as the training is already there, and as they are older you can get a good idea of structure and health, sometimes they even have pre-lim hips, elbows etc. clearances already in place. Unless I knew of a special breeding, with parents that I'd been watching, and really liked. For a hunting companion, I'd go for a started dog, a whole lot less guessing and work for me.

Female protests intrusion. 2 of 3 photos of Male Northern Elephant Seal (M. angustirostris) at Piedras Blancas, San Simeon, CA 09 Jan 2010. On this day a number of births were witnessed, and some sparse unwanted mating attempts. Photo by Michael "Mike" L. Baird, mike [at} mikebaird d o t com, flickr.bairdphotos.com; Canon 1D Mark III, Canon 600mm f/4.0 Lens with Circular Polarizer (it had a significant effect on reducing skin glare in the overcast mid-day light) on heavy Gitzo GZGT5540LS tripod with Wimberley Gimbal Head II on leveling base. This was taken during a Photomorrobay Yahoo! Group Meetup where 15 of us came together to share the moment. Even thought the great early morning light (we started at 6:15 MA) was not to be, the experience was awesome.
See Friends of the Elephant Seal at www.elephantseal.org/ for all you'll need to know about this setting. www.elephantseal.org/ calendar www.elephantseal.org/Rookery/calendar.htm says in part "The adult animals come on to the beach in the winter for the birthing and breeding season, with adult males arriving in late November or early December when they contest for a dominant position on the beach. The males are followed by the adult females in mid-December to late January. As the females come on the beach they become, in effect, part of a "harem" controlled by one of the alpha males. They give birth to their pup within a few days of their arrival on the beach and nurse them for approximately four weeks. Toward the end of the nursing period the females go into estrous and are bred, usually with the alpha bull although other males will attempt to mate as the opportunity arises. Shortly after the mating and at the end of the nursing period, the female will go back to sea.

sponsored by the Asan Institute for Policy Studies
In 2010, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) launched the International Affairs Fellowship in South Korea (IAF-SK), sponsored by the Asan Institute for Policy Studies. The program seeks to strengthen mutual understanding and cooperation between the rising generations of leaders in the United States and South Korea by expanding cultural exchange and enhancing communication between both countries on global issues. The program assists mid-career scholars and professionals from the public and private sectors to advance their analytic capabilities and broaden their foreign policy experience in South Korea.
CFR awards several fellowships annually to highly accomplished individuals who have a capacity for independent work and who are eager to undertake serious foreign policy analysis while affiliated with the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in South Korea. Fellows are drawn from academia, business, government, media, NGOs, and think tanks.
We are currently not accepting applications for the 2014–2015 competition year.
The IAF-SK is only open to U.S. citizens. Applicants do not have to be Korea specialists, and knowledge of the Korean language is not a requirement. While a PhD is not a requirement, selected fellows generally hold an advanced degree and possess a strong record of work experience as well as a firm grounding in the field of foreign policy. The program does not fund pre- or postdoctoral research, work toward a degree, or the completion of projects for which substantial progress has been made prior to the fellowship period.
Selection as an IAF-SK is based on a combination of the following criteria: scholarly qualifications, achievements and promise, depth and breadth of professional experience, firm grounding in foreign policy and international relations, and an application proposal that focuses on U.S.-South Korea foreign policy issues. With respect to the proposal, applicants are encouraged to plan a systematic approach to assessing the major substantive and process issues of their planned research. The proposed work will be judged on originality, practicality, potential, likelihood of completion during the fellowship period, and the contribution it will make to the applicant's individual career development.
The selection process is highly competitive. CFR's Fellowship Affairs Office processes the applications, and the IAF-SK selection committee reviews all applications to identify the most promising candidates. About one-third of the most qualified applicants are selected as finalists to be interviewed by several IAF-SK selection committee members. Based on the overall application and the results of the interviews, the selection committee chooses approximately two to three finalists to be fellows.
The duration of the fellowship is between four and twelve months. The program awards a stipend, which covers living expenses in Seoul, South Korea plus international travel and necessary research expenses. Fellows are considered independent contractors rather than employees of CFR, and are not eligible for employment benefits, including health insurance.
Bridget L. Coggins, Assistant Professor of Government, Department of Government, Dartmouth College
Allison Marie Hooker, Foreign Affairs Research Analyst, Office of East Asia and Pacific Analysis, Bureau of Intelligence and Research, U.S. Department of State

Volunteers for Hope College will visit area businesses to raise funds for the college during Hope's annual Holland/Zeeland Community Campaign on Wednesday, Nov. 7.
The campaign is part of an annual effort by business people in Holland and Zeeland to raise funds for current operations.
This year's chair is Ted Etheridge, chief executive officer of Steketee-Van Huis Inc. Etheridge is a 1972 Hope graduate whose wife and two daughters are also alumni, but beyond his personal ties to the college he sees strong reasons as a member of the business community to support Hope.
"I think Hope over the years has embraced and supported the business community as well as or better than any of the other colleges in the area," he said.
He noted that Hope's emphasis on values serves area employers well, especially since many of the college's graduates take positions in West Michigan. Approximately 3,400 Hope alumni live in the greater Holland-Zeeland area.
"Hope drives in core values like hard work, and perseverance and most of all integrity in what you do," Etheridge said.
"The return from supporting the college is that it's putting leaders back into the community," he said. "What better return on your investment?"
The campaign will begin with a breakfast Wednesday morning at the college's Maas Center. From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., approximately 40 fund-raising teams comprised of business leaders paired with members of the Hope faculty and staff will contact about 140 area businesses.

Former Wolves defender retires
Former Wolves defender Rob Edwards is now looking for a new career in coaching after hanging up his boots. The article below is based on what appeared in the matchday programme for Tuesday's game with Oldham.
The last time Wolves and Bradford locked horns – in the League Cup in August, 2007 – Rob Edwards was in the Wolves side which made progress to the next round.
Almost seven years on, and the popular defender has decided to hang up his boots as the wear-and-tear from several injuries hampered his efforts to find a new club.
He will be fondly remembered, particularly at Wolves and Blackpool where he enjoyed the majority of his appearances.
But with any luck, or more to the point plenty of hard work, Edwards is certainly keen to make sure he isn't lost to the game completely.
Already well down the road with his coaching badges, the 30-year-old former Welsh international is ready to embark on a factfinding expedition picking up as much advice and guidance as possible in a bid to put his talents into practice.
First however that decision to retire. Having spent some time with Blackpool in pre-season until injury stepped in, how difficult was it to finally call it a day?
"It was twofold for me really in making the decision," says Edwards.
"I think the injuries I have had have taken their toll and I have got wear and tear which is maybe slightly worse than players of my age.
"From training really hard as a youngster from 14, it's just taken its toll and I don't think my body was capable of the training and the demands of competing within football now.
"You have got to play between 30 and 40 games a year to be able to earn a contract for the following season, particularly when you get to my age, and I don't feel capable of doing that now.
"My body is too sore and delicate and unfortunately keeps breaking down.
"The other side of it was a serious lack of options out there.
"Clubs were understandably looking at my last season when I think I played nine games because of injury and so that was always going to play a big part.
"I was kind of hoping something would come up but it hasn't and so I've taken this decision and want to move on now and look forward to the next stage of my career.
"I'm only 30 years old and I think there's a long way to go yet."
Edwards is well aware that he is heading into an arena probably equally as competitive as that when he set about playing over a decade ago.
But with the experience gleaned from all levels of the game, coupled with a determination, willingness to learn and complete degree of professionalism, surely the right vacancy won't be too far in coming?
"I've starting dong my coaching over the last couple of years, passing my B license and am now halfway through my A," he explains.
"I'm trying to use all the contacts I've got and am speaking to people and going into clubs and looking at training sessions and watching games.
"I'm doing what I can to try and get something in the coaching side of it but it's equally as tough as when you come through as a player.
"It's competitive and you're up against a large group of people and, at the moment, people with more experience than myself.
"I'm certainly under no illusions and there's no way I feel like I can stroll into any job as a coach anywhere.
"But I do feel I've got plenty to offer.
"It's going to require a lot of hard work but I'm looking forward to the challenge.
"I have still got a lot to learn but I've certainly got plenty of enthusiasm as well as some good experience as a player having operated at every level of the Football League and the Premier League as well.
"I've also got 15 international caps with Wales and feel fortunate to have had a good career and met some fantastic people along the way and made some friends within the game who will stay with me for life."
Many of those people came during his four years at Wolves, where Edwards, cousin of current Wolves Academy coach Sean Parrish, rattled up 111 appearances and still feels privileged to have played.
Not only was it in on the football side but also the friendships forged, including Matt Murray, who has been through a similar retirement experience when injury cut short his own career back in 2010.
Indeed Edwards joined Robbie Keane, Joleon Lescott and Lee Naylor at Murray's surprise presentation upon his retirement at half time of a game against Aston Villa early in that season.
"Matty is my best mate and has gone through this not so long ago and is now doing exceptionally well whatever he turns his hand to," says Edwards.
"Seeing the way he has taken to life after football shows it can be done.
"Now I just have to realise that the football thing is not happening anymore – as much as I want it to, it is not.
"Matt is one of those people who I am grateful to have met during my time at Wolves and he and his family are very special to us from the time we have known them.
"It was such a shame that my playing time at Villa was affected by an ankle injury but then if that hadn't happened I wouldn't have come to Wolves and had such a thoroughly good time.
"Looking back my debut for Villa was amazing as it always is for a player and then my debut for Wales came not long after that.
"Wolves was brilliant and the best time of my career in terms of playing games and the people I was playing with at the time.
"It's just a shame we weren't more successful because with the squad we had we were capable of more.
"We played some really good football and to only make the play offs once during my time there was really disappointing.
"I loved it, and then equally loved the experience at Blackpool when we did manage to get promotion even though I wasn't involved and fully and played maybe half of the games that season.
"In the Premier League I only played a couple of games for Blackpool, but I played at Villa where I'd started and also at Everton, the team I supported as a lad.
"And I also went to Norwich on loan that year and played under Paul Lambert which was great, especially as they got promoted as well.
"There are a lot of highlights and a lot is about the people I meet but Wolves especially because whenever I go back there I just get such a great and friendly welcome."
Edwards has also been able to keep in touch with Wolves' fortunes via some summarising work for Free Radio this season, something he hopes to continue, and has been impressed with what he has seen.
Now though, after a career spanning just over a decade and 236 career appearances, it's about looking forward to what is ahead rather than dwell on what has gone before.
"Yes it is sad to retire as I've really enjoyed my career but I'm not allowing myself to look back too much," he says.
"I've got those memories there which are great to have and look back on one day but all I am focused in now is looking forward to the next stage."

Bibi, Israel, curb your over-the-top war rhetoric toward Iran. I urge this as one who cherishes Israel and values military power. But you've got to understand that your constant threats to attack Iran to stop its nuclear program aren't working. Unending military threats unite Iranians and fire up their resistance. Economic sanctions weaken and divide them—and often produce constituencies for compromise. Give sanctions time to play out.
You cannot actually believe Iran will prostrate itself in the face of your threats. As Amos Yadlin, a retired Air Force general and former head of Israeli military intelligence, said Sunday: "These statements have reached the point where they have crossed the line from bringing benefit and are beginning to cause damage." Your warnings will ignite war and will not foster Iran's abandoning its nuclear program. Did Saddam Hussein kneel before George W. Bush's threats? Did the Taliban handcuff itself when faced with America's military might? Has Kim Jong-un bowed before his Western master? None capitulated even to the American superpower. Thus, it's hard to believe that you truly calculate that Ayatollah Khamenei will cry "uncle."

Celebrate Princeton Invention: Paul Steinhardt, Salvatore Torquato and Marian Florescu
Posted December 22, 2009; 11:37 a.m.
From left, professors Paul Steinhardt and Salvatore Torquato and associate research scholar Marian Florescu invented disordered photonic heterostructures, designer materials that block, manipulate and control the flow of light in optical circuits in a manner similar to semiconductors in electronic circuits. An example, displayed here on the screen, consists of a network of materials with different indices of refraction, such as polymer and air. (Photo: Brian Wilson)
Names: Paul Steinhardt, the Albert Einstein Professor in Science and director of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science; Salvatore Torquato, professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials; and Marian Florescu, associate research scholar in physics
Invention: Disordered photonic heterostructures
What they do: Photonic heterostructures are designer materials synthesized from two or more substances for the purpose of blocking, manipulating and controlling the flow of light in optical circuits, with applications in communications, computing and novel light sources. Disordered heterostructures are unique in that they affect light the same way for all polarizations and in all directions.
Inspiration: The three scientists were working together to optimize the light-blocking properties of photonic "quasicrystals" that had been invented at Princeton a few years ago when they discovered a method for obtaining similar properties in disordered heterostructures based on mathematical studies of how spheres can pack together randomly. The discovery contradicts the conventional wisdom that orderly heterostructures, such as photonic crystals and quasicrystals, are essential for light-blocking devices and opens the possibility of photonic circuit components that affect light equally for all directions and polarizations.
For more information: More details about disordered photonic heterostructures are available online.
