Check In / Check Out
Check in time is any time after 3:00 pm the day of your arrival and check out is by 11:00 am. If you need to adjust your arrival or departure time please check with us. We will be flexible when possible.
Minimum Stays
In Season (April – December) We require a 2-4 night minimum stay with 3 nights on most weekends and Holidays weekends; July and October are a 4 night minimum and 4 nights at Thanksgiving and Christmas which includes the Holiday itself. That said, we are flexible when we can be and will entertain shorter bookings based on our reservations. Contact us for more information.
Security Deposit
For short-term reservations a deposit of $200.00 (credited toward your stay) is required if you are booking more than 30 days in advance of your stay. The balance will be due 30 days prior to your arrival and charged to the credit card on file automatically. Your deposit may be made by check, money order or credit card (MasterCard, Visa and Discover). If you are booking within 30 days of your arrival date, your payment is due in full.
For long-term reservations (3 weeks or longer) a deposit of $400 (credited toward your stay) is required if booking more than 45 days in advance.
Regular Cancellation Policy:
We know that plans can go astray. However, we rely primarily on advance reservations and cancellations cannot readily be filled. So to be fair to all concerned, our policy is as follows: If reservations are canceled more than 30 days prior to your arrival, all monies paid will be refunded, minus a $50 processing fee. For cancellations with 30 to 8 day notice there will be no refund; however, 50% may be credited toward a future stay based on season & availability. Cancellations within a week of your arrival are forfeited. There are no refunds for early departures.
Long-Term Cancellation Policy:
Any reservation 3 weeks or longer is considered a Long-term rental. For long-term rentals a $400 deposit is required and the balance must be paid in full 45 days in advance of arrival. If a chalet guest has to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances $350 of the deposit will be returned if more than 45 days in advance. If cancellation is less than 45 days, there will be no refunds but a credit for same length of stay will be given off season only.
Any credits used to reschedule a reservation are subject to season and availability. Any discounts offered at time of rescheduling, will not be applied to rebooking.
Asheville Swiss Chalets is not responsible for the weather or other natural disasters and there will be no refunds for these occurrences. We encourage you to purchase trip insurance which covers you from losses you may incur due to unforeseen circumstances, such as unexpected health issues, death, severe inclement weather, etc. You can visit www.insuremytrip.com which offers quotes and policies from a number of companies. Premiums are based on the cost of your trip.
Damage and Smoking Policy
We require a credit card on file in case of damages. There is absolutely NO SMOKING allowed inside any of our rentals. Smoking areas are provided on the front porch or the back deck. Smoking inside will be considered damage to the cabins & subject to an automatic minimum charge of $100 should there be evidence of smoking after your departure.
We make every effort to ensure that everything is perfect for your stay. We expect that our guests will leave the chalet in the same condition in which they found it. Therefore, if anything is missing, damaged, or requires an unusual amount of extra cleaning we reserve the right to charge you accordingly.
Because our primary clientele is adult, our chalets are not child proof and they are decorated accordingly, with lots of decorative (breakable) accessories, ornate pillows, throws, candles, etc. We have had previous guests rearrange all the furnishings to make the chalet safe for their children. Therefore we normally do not take children under 7-8 years of age (except infants). We do, however, look at each situation, individually since all children are different. If you are comfortable that your children will be respectful of our property, we will be happy to accommodate you. As far as activities for children, while there is nothing up at the chalets, we are centrally located to anything and everything that you might want to do, including the Fun Depot (www.ashevillesfundepot.com).
Extra Guests
Rates are based on 2 occupants for a 1 bedroom cabin, 4 occupants for a 2 bedroom, and 6 occupants for a 3 bedroom. For parties that exceed the number of guests per unit, there is a $15.00 charge per person, per night or $75 per week.
Pet Policies
Due to current insurance regulations, we are unable to accept pet guests of the following breeds:
*Akita *Chow
*Pit Bull *Doberman Pinscher,
*Rottweiler *Presa Canaria,
*Wolf hybrid *American Stafford-shire Terrier
There is an additional, non-refundable charge of $15 per night, per pet, $75 per week. Two small dogs under 15 lbs will be counted as 1 pet fee. We have provided pet towels in the closet to dry your pets, and pet throws to cover couches when in use by your pets, however pets are NOT allowed on the beds. Please note: If comforters or duvets require dry cleaning due to pet hair, there will be an automatic charge of $75 added to your bill. If any of our bath or kitchen towels are used to clean up a pet mess there will be an automatic charge of $25 for replacement. Paper towels are provided for that purpose. Also note that if there are pet related damages due to chewing, scratching or urination on furniture there will be a charge made appropriate to the clean up.
Cleaning Fee
Our chalets are professionally cleaned before you arrive and after you leave. Please report within 4 hours of your arrival anything we fail to clean.
For stays less than three days, a $65 cleaning fee is charged. This is waived for bookings longer than 2 nights. We expect our guests to leave the chalets in the condition in which they are found except for normal use. If however, a chalet requires excessive cleaning beyond what is normal or has pet messes we will charge a minimum of $50.
Early Departures
All guests are financially responsible for the time reserved; there will be no refunds due to weather, change of plans, or early departures.

We've been talking a lot this week about how the Xbox One might be getting a significant sales boost form sci-fi shooter Titanfall but it seems this might not be necessary.
The latest sales figures from NPD report that the Xbox One sold "over 90 per cent of what the PS4 sold in terms of unit sales" in the US in February.
This is a considerable turnabout considering earlier reports that in January Sony's console sold "nearly double" the units of Microsoft's.
With the Xbox One's higher price point, these latest sales figures that Microsoft's gaming system actually made more money than Sony's on a dollar basis, said NPD analyst Liam Callahan in a statement.
The Xbox One sold 258,000 units in the US in the month of February, improving upon the Xbox 360 sale's by over 61 per cent at the same point in its lifespan.
The new sales figures follow the highly anticipated launch of Titanfall, which went on sale for PC and Xbox One in the US at the beginning of the week and is on sale in the UK from today.Reuse content

As written in an excellent, 1997 article by Wendy Volhard:
"...If your dog has itchy skin, the beginnings of a hot spot, incessantly washes its feet, has smelly ears, or is picky about his food, the application of ACV may change things around. For poor appetite, use it in the food - 1 tablespoon, two times a day for a 50 lb. dog. For itchy skin or beginning hot spots, put ACV into a spray bottle, part the hair and spray on. Any skin eruption will dry up in 24 hours and will save you having to shave the dog. If the skin is already broken, dilute ACV with an equal amount of water and spray on.
|Hotspot on dogs
If you have a dog that has clear, watery discharge from the eyes, a runny nose, or coughs with a liquid sound, use ACV in his or her food. One teaspoon twice a day for a 50 lb. dog will do the job.

text: Posted June 16, 2013 Shalom everyone, Recently, I was asked, why I use IbVPN? First of all, what is a VPN? In layman's terms -- there's servers all around the world that can access the web for YOU. When you get IbVPN, in essence, you are buying a service that accesses the web for you and sends the information to you through a Virtual Encrypted Tunnel to your computer. Every piece of information is encrypted by a 256-bit encryption key which is impossible to crack. It's the same encryption used by the NSA. There's dozens of VPN services out there, however IbVPN also doesn't keep any log activity of its clients! So you are surfing the internet completely confidentially and securely! The next benefit of IbVPN, is the benefit of accessing its network on any "unsecured" network -- and making each "unsecured" network a secured network so you can check your email, bank accounts, etc without worrying if someone is "sniffing" your passwords, and other vital information while you are on a "unsecured" network for those occasions when you are at a coffeeshop, bus station, airport, etc. It makes surfing the web SECURE even in un-secure settings! Since I have a family of 4, and several computers, I was concerned about having to get a VPN for each of my devices that access the web simultaneously. With IbVPN, I can access 20 computer simultaneously -- thus having a secured network for all my computers, ipads, and phones! Another advantage that I found is the speeds of their networks. For example, I'm in Israel, but Netflix won't allow me to view their network from Israel. However with IbVPN, I just say that I'm in New York, and suddenly I was able to access Netflix -- and watch dozens of faith based movies from Israel. BTW, my wife and I just saw the movie "Unconditional" and "October Baby" and I highly recommend them. Before we couldn't access Netflix -- and when we did -- we never found the speeds fast enough to watch it. However, the speeds are fast enough that my kids can watch VeggieTales on Netflix, while we watch something else at the same time! Really fast VPN speeds. The only "disadvantage" I found using IbVPN was that Google wouldn't let me search using their search engine anonymously. "Strange? huh?" So I use my own search engine that uses Google's results -- WorthySeek.com It's a specialized enhanced Google search engine that I prefiltered out results so that I could search without having "weird" sites showing up in the search results. So I made a work around for myself -- and you can easily use WorthySeek.com as your Christian enhanced Google Search engine. We loved it so much that we joined their affiliate program. If you want to sign up, not only do you help yourself by surfing the web anonymously and securely, but you'll be helping to pay for the cost of running our internet ministry!Check out IbVPN. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, Your brother in the Lord with much agape love, George 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reflecting on our accomplishments in 2012-13
Dear Members of the UW Community:
The Regents adopted the UW's biennial budget last week, and summer is now in full swing. It's a good time for reflection and to review a year of collective accomplishments that should benefit all members of the UW community.
For our students, we significantly expanded the range of educational, housing, and recreational choices. The record number of incoming students will find more places to live, more ways to take a class, and better facilities for study and non-study time.
We worked together to secure better investment options and improved record-keeping for faculty and staff retirement plans. Meanwhile, we began to seriously tackle the full and fair integration of our lecturers into our faculty, took on the job of re-thinking our faculty salary and merit system, and made code changes that will provide greater transparency in our tenure and promotion reviews.
What we do affects the world around us, too. This year we helped the state economy by increasing our output of science, technology, engineering, and math degrees. We almost doubled the number of start-up businesses coming out of our research, helping assure that work that begins in our labs gets a chance to change the world. At the same time, we welcomed a record number of community members onto our three campuses, to enjoy musical and theater performances, exhibits in our museums, lectures, open houses, and athletic events.
Perhaps because of a growing understanding of what we do here, our state legislature just made a substantial new financial investment in our university. This means that for the first time in a couple of decades, we didn't have to increase tuition for our resident undergraduates. And, for the first time in the last five years, our meritorious faculty and staff will receive well-deserved raises.
There were also other "firsts" this year. Many of our schools and colleges established their first student-led college advisory councils; we offered the first freshmen seminars in Seattle, opened a brand-new School of STEM at Bothell, and created a new master's program in Cybersecurity and Leadership in Tacoma, conceived in partnership with Joint Base Lewis McCord and Camp Murray. We offered our first MOOCs and approved an online program to complete a bachelor's degree. And we finally joined the ranks of universities with a diversity requirement for our undergraduates.
Each one of these and countless other achievements came as a result of our working together, whether in perfect harmony or "creative tension." I know there were moments when the interests of our students and those of our faculty and staff seemed to be in conflict, and it appeared we would be forced to choose between access and affordability, on the one hand, or quality and excellence on the other. But guess what? We found a way through these challenges, together and, for the most part, we remained united.
Of course, the challenges and the tensions are hardly over. It's wonderful to get raises, but not everyone will agree on the amounts or the distribution. It's important to expand enrollment in computer science and engineering, but we also worry about seeing higher education in purely vocational terms. Technology speeds up our communication, but it can cut into time for reflection and consensus-building.
My hope is that this year we've built some trust in each other and in our ability to work together, without letting false dichotomies divide us and distract us from our common goals. So, let's take a moment to celebrate, and to thank each other—faculty, staff, and students. And, to also thank our legislators, our alumni, and our many community supporters who worked so hard on our behalf. Then, back to work. There is much more to be done.

Has anyone used the Sola 600 for a focus light?

Hey Chris
I do think a red light is worth having and, from my experience, fish don't react anywhere near as adversely to it as they do to white. Many critters I have photographed don't react at all to red.
As for a focussing light auto-switching off when the strobes fire, mine doesn't (a Sola P800) with my Inon Z240 strobes. I don't think I can recall a pic where it made an difference. No hot spots. But then I don't usually have the light on at 100%. I find that unnecessary.
If you shoot macro with, say, a 105mm lens on a FX format, I'd recommend a focus-light. Less necessary I found with a 60mm macro lens. Not necessary at all with wide-angle.

"This invitation turned out so cute! Very high quality paper and envelope. Arrived earlier than expected. Very satisfied!"
"We are so happy with the way the invitations turned out. We ordered 2 day shipping and received them in 1 day. It was exactly what we were looking for."
"Simply beautifull!! Last year completely satisfied with a 1st birthday model and this year in love with my final product. Very easy to personalize it, great paper quality and perfect pearl finish paper...so delicate. Everyone loved it!!!"
"The only thing about this invitation that wasn't perfect was the slightly grainy look for the "vintage" style photo on the front."
"I paid the small fee for the actual review, and customized the colors with bright pink/yellow to go with the Fantastic First stickers and address labels. The review came back quickly and was exactly what I wanted - and I received my order quickly, too. Super satisfied with the quality (as always - I always have been with this company and have ordered several times through them), and the customer service was outstanding. ::happy customer::"

if you can look at your own drawings and anylitically state that "they suck", you are a full step ahead of most begining artists; even the ones who you may think have more skill than you.
this was sort of touched on in one post, but drowned out by all of the "just take a sketchbook and keep drawing, you'll get better"
in part this is true, you need to practice alot, but noone offered an explanation why. its only half an answer, and in fact, its only half the solution. "practice" alone in this case, i must admit, does not make perfect.
when people look at my own 2d artwork, i usually get the "wow, your just a natural born artist". this i am proud to say is absolute b.s. in truth i am completely and uttely terrible. when put on the spot to draw an image, chances are any employer who saw the first 2 minutes of progress would fire me on the spot. yup, i suck that bad.
now, if that same employer were to come back a mere 3 minutes later, he'd be overjoyed with the result and offer me the keys to the executive washroom.
so, what happens in those 3 minutes to make such an awe inspiring difference? well, its basically the exact same thing thats happening to you. you imediately realize that your work sucks. however, rather than giving up, i analyze the image.
i make mental notes as i go scribbling rough shapes as to what exactly makes it suck. and then adjust them untill they suck less.
whether you are drawing from photo reference, a live model, or straight out of your head, you KNOW when something looks wrong. the thing that will put you 2 steps ahead now is finding out WHY.
if your drawing a face, think to yourself, why does it suck. maybe the nose is too big, eyes too far apart, ears too low. in the earliest stages of your scribbling you should be analyzing these things and correcting as you go. without even knowing anything technical about perspective or light and shadow, you should easily be able to pick out and correct aspects that are "wrong".
this concept is fairly universal and can be applied when analyzing form, lighting, mood, etc.
as you progress and practice, your early sketches will become alot more refined, especially if you draw the same subject alot.
every thing else is technical. the use of a pencil and how it functions, all the way to a 3d software, are fairly simple to grasp, and generally just involve practice and experimentation.
basically what im saying is that the key to becoming good at drawing or 3d or really anything else is understading why you arent good at it in the first place. and as far as style, thats all in your imagination, and if you can learn to draw out your imagination onto paper or pixel, you'll be a few steps ahead of even some of the experienced artists.
and yes, i have fought with every art "teacher" i have every had...
and won

Lesbian Relationship Advice
At one time or another most of us have heard or spoken the juicy words, "guess who so-and-so is seeing?" and "did you hear that so-and-so are breaking up?"
Our interest in the ups and downs of each others' relationships is so great that our desire to hear more is not limited to the lesbians we know but to any one in our immediate and distant community.
And while many lesbians gossip and speculate about other lesbians, how often do we talk about what's going on in our own relationships? I mean really talk - not only about what's good but about what's hard.
Lesbian Relationships: Talking About Our Relationships
The Myth of the Perfect Lesbian Relationship
It sometimes feels like a risk to be honest about our relationships - as if there's an unspoken myth that all lesbian relationships are perfect and the same. If ours doesn't measure up to the ideal model,
there must be something wrong with us.
Our need to proclaim and protect our love in the context of a lesbian-hating society often feels like pressure to hide the struggles in our relationships for fear they'll be used against us. This need to defend our relationships and present a perfect image can lead to our minimizing and denying the problems that do exist.
Love advice for lesbian relationships
We Create Our Own Relationships
In truth lesbian relationships can vary a great deal. How we construct our relationships is both a reflection of the wider heterosexual model as well as a reflection of our own creativity to create relationships within a void. With few or no models to look to, we are often freer than heterosexuals to create relationships of our own choosing rather than ones based on social conditioning and expectations.
Some lesbian relationships exist outside the mainstream heterosexual model, operating on entirely different values. They may embrace non-monogamy, be poly-amorous, live in separate homes for years, be committed to resolving their problems while staying together for "as long as we are good together" rather than "till death do us part", and relate to each other as equals and friends as well as lovers. Being in a lesbian relationship can feel like starting from scratch - we get to ask ourselves what kind of relationship we want rather than feel compelled to follow some Hollywood model.
But it's not always easy to be so inventive. We don't live in a vacuum, there are social pressures on us. For lesbians, homophobia can present an obvious pressure and strain on our relationships.
Lesbian Relationship Advice For Lesbian Love Issues
The Pressure of Homophobia
Many lesbian relationships suffer under the critical eyes of homophobic family and peers. Arguments about whether or not to come out, with whom and when can occur. Even when there is agreement not to be out, there may be differences between women about how far to go to hide their relationship. Where only one woman isn't out, her repeated denial of the existence of the relationship may leave her partner feeling hurt, insecure, and unloved. The one who isn't out may even blame and resent her partner who serves as a reminder of her own secrecy and feelings of guilt. Both women may feel depressed, irritable, and unhappy and take it out on each other.
Hurt and angry feelings can lead to arguments, insecurities, and worries about the stability of the relationship. In this situation, it is vitally important for both women to talk about how they are feeling, and hear and understand each other's concerns and fears.
Even when both women are mostly or completely out, homophobia can, take its toll - because of harassment, fear of harassment, times it's scary to be out and you pull apart from each other, rumors that get started, assumptions that are made about you, and so on. Repeatedly framing the problem as homophobia, rather than an inadequacy on the part of either women, helps to lay the blame where it belongs and instead of fighting about how to handle situations it is far better to bond over a mutual problem and find your way through it together.
Doubly Stigmatized
When there are differences between women, based on such things as race, culture, age and sexual identity it can be an additional hurdle to cross. Added to this is the reality that too often even lesbian friends can be critical and unsupportive of overt differences between women assuming that it will never work out.
This can be particularly devastating and isolating to a couple - to be rejected by both the mainstream and their own communities. Although this reluctance on the part of friends to accept your partner often changes over time, it's still very hard for couples to be doubly stigmatized.
Couples in these situations often feel like they have to present their relationship and partner as perfect because everyone is expecting them to fail. This is too much to expect of yourself. Finding people who support your relationship is so very important, even if it means going to couple's therapy for awhile.
Having Time Apart
It's not uncommon in the beginning of a relationship for lesbian couples to spend all of their free time together - basking in each other's love and mutual discovery. Friends my be dropped, separate activities cease, and the relationship becomes like a cocoon. This may feel really good to both women for awhile. But, in time, this total focus on each other decreases usually with one of the women expressing a need to have space.
She may need time alone, or want to spend time with her friends. If she's felt it for awhile, it may come out abruptly or desperately. Either way, her partner may hear her as saying she needs to get away from her. Feeling hurt or rejected, she may get upset or angry and question her lover's love or commitment. The one wanting space may feel misunderstood, suffocated and possibly controlled, and then feel an even greater need for space. Not a good combination!
Short of lots of mutual understanding and reassurances at this point or shortly thereafter, many couples end up arguing. Rather than figuring out how to support each others' needs for separate time, they may only get time apart after a fight which is not satisfying for either woman.

Dealing With Our Differences in a Lesbian Relationship
Dealing with differences can be a real challenge for couples. As lesbians, we love that we're both women - our sameness feels good and right. We delight in each other, our bodies, doing things together, swapping clothes, sharing food, music, ideas and laughter. But, when we hit a point, or too many points, of differences we may feel uncomfortable, scared or angry. From the less important things like when we go to bed, to more important things like not getting along with each other's friends or not enjoying the same social activities, eventually we discover that we have differences.
Our difficulty dealing with differences may be due to a discomfort with the separateness they can create, or the fact that differences challenge our assumptions about the way people or relationships "should be like". Maybe we think that feeling separate is not okay or means there is a problem when it's actually a very healthy thing and helps us to feel even closer. Maybe we're uncomfortable with our own privilege and how that gives us power in the relationship.
If our identity is wrapped up in the other person, we may believe that our differences mean that there is something wrong with us or them but differences are just that - differences. They don't mean anything more than that - the challenge is to accept our differences and even rejoice in them. We can learn from each other's differences. A partner who needs a lot of space may learn how to set her boundaries clearly and compassionately. A partner who needs less space may learn the value of space or to not feel abandoned when her lover takes space.
Our inclination can be to suppress differences that arise - worried that they mean something is wrong with the relationship. But, suppressing differences only leads to flat, stifled relationships or the opposite - lots of fighting. Unacknowledged or undervalued differences lead to resentment, can dampen sexual desires, fuel power imbalances and lead to despair, frustration and bitter arguments. Letting differences out into the light of day and not attaching any negative meaning to them goes a long way in a relationship. Noticing, talking about and appreciating differences can prevent all sorts of problems.
Dealing With Conflict in Lesbian Relationships
When resentments do build up, many women avoid addressing them. Many of us are never taught ways of dealing with our anger and conflict. Many women try very hard to get along and to minimize differences or feelings of anger and resentment. But, our anger doesn't go anywhere and usually builds up and comes out in indirect ways which is usually hurtful to the other person and the relationship.
Airing resentments is really important and women often have to work at doing this. Taking time to listen to others' resentments can help. Listening to and understanding each others' anger goes a long way. It's not about who's right or wrong but about understanding each others' perspectives.
Sometimes a good remedy for a relationship problem is to talk to a supportive friend or a trusted experienced professional about what's going on in your relationship - not in someone else's relationship! Our struggles are not so very different from each other and we can learn from hearing how other lesbians have handled their problems - something we don't get to hear enough about.

I love my budget.
There. I said it. If you are a spender like I am, you know that this statement is an amazing one.
You see, as a spender, I didn't like the word "budget" because it cramped my style. It made me say the word "no" too often. For some reasons, the word "budget" made me think of being broke.
But I love my budget because NONE of those beliefs were true.
Here are the top reasons I love my monthly budget:
- My marriage. It ensures I meet with my bride every single month to talk about life and how our money needs to be managed to support it
- Debt eliminated. Using the budget, we eliminated all of our non-house debt in 14 months and our house debt in 10 years and 1 month (so we can live without payments)
- Savings! Our budget allowed us to clearly understand what would be necessary to build savings
- Giving! We get to decide where we will give money each month (it's our favorite part of budgeting)
- It provides control. In a world where everything seems to spiral toward chaos, it is awesome to know exactly what is going on with our finances
Why do YOU love YOUR budget?

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
If the coolant level is correct, then the level sensor is likely suspect. The level sensor is part of the coolant jug assembly, and would require replacement of the jug, it plugs in at the bottom:
As for the secondary air injection code, first you want to check the fuses. If the air pump sucks up some water, it will blow the fuse.
Then you want to check your vacuum lines. There is a shutoff valve going to the front exhaust and one to the rear exhaust, and they are both controlled by vacuum. Sometimes the vacuum lines can fall off or crack and not allow the valves to open.
If thats all OK, check to see if you hear the pump come on. When you first start the car, especially after not being started for awhile, you should hear the pump run for a minute or two. Sounds like a small motor, it kinda whines/whistles like a hair dryer or little supercharger. If you hear it come on for a minute or two and shut off, then the air pump is obviously coming on and it may be one of the shutoff valves that failed. Its common for the diaghram inside the valve to rupture which prevents the vacuum from letting it open.
This is where the front valve is located, the rear valve looks the same and is over the center of the back valvecover:
As for the coolant level, it sends out a very low voltage from the cluster to ground. The easiest way to diagnose is to put a jumper wire between the two terminals and if the message goes out, the level sender is bad.
The P0420 means you have a bad catalytic converter, and is covered under the Federal 8 year/ 80,000 mile warranty. If you have 80K or less, you can get it repalced at the cadillac dealer at no charge.
The message won't come on if too full, only low (or bad).
Aftermarket cat converters rarely have enough Oxygen Storage Capacity to satisfy the stringent diagnostic parameters of the On-Board Computer. On many of the newer cars, only a GM converter will work. You could do a search on-line for "O2 Simulators". They "trick" the computer into thinking the converter is working and prevents the P0420 from setting.
The lines on the back of the motor need to be tight. Air of Vacuum leaks can prevent the system from working properly.
As for the brake shimmy, some aftermarket rotors are better than others. If you spend $15 per rotor, chances are, they will warp rather soon. When it comes to brake components, you really do get what you pay for. Instead of replacing them, you can have them resurfaced.

By Ridge Mahoney
Not so long ago, scoring goals seemed a big enough problem for the U.S. national team that head coach Jurgen Klinsmann
dipped into the ranks of German reserve teams in search of a reliable striker.
Terrence Boyd was laboring for Borussia Dortmund's
reserves while being tracked by U-23 head coach Caleb Porter and Klinsmann. He scored twice for the U-23s during the Concacaf qualifying tournament for the 2012
Olympics, and since debuting for the senior team against Italy last year he's made nine U.S. appearances and moved onto Rapid Vienna, for which he scored 15 goals during the 2012-13 season.
The situation up front currently for the USA is encouraging enough that Boyd might not be recalled when Hexagonal play resumes in September. Though scorers tend to sail through hot streaks
and battle through lean spells, the Americans have multiple options from which Klinsmann can select.
Jozy Altidore scored in four straight games
earlier this year and Chris Wondolowski netted six goals in three matches before being blanked in a 1-0 defeat of Costa Rica last Tuesday that propelled the
U.S. into the Gold Cup quarterfinals as Group C winner. Clint Dempsey is also in scoring mode; he's netted five times in eight U.S. matches this season,
and during the Gold Cup Landon Donovan showed enough zip to suggest he can hit the net as well though he did scuff a good opportunity in the Costa Rica game.
"At a certain point with goalscorers -- and you can use [Fernando] Torres as an example -- it gets so bad, you're in so deep a slump,
there's no pressure any more because no one's expecting you to score," says former U.S. international and NBC analyst Kyle Martino.
"Everyone's expecting you to fail. That lack of pressure and getting back to the basics and just playing your game, that's when you see goalscorers get back to scoring."
Wondolowski's breakout goal – which ended a drought in his first nine U.S. games -- in a friendly against Guatemala July 5 came on an absolute sitter from just a few yards out, but
it prompted a hat trick against Belize and two more goals in a defeat of Cuba. Altidore hadn't scored for the U.S. in a year and a half (since November 2011) but went on a tear after nailing
a Graham Zusi cross against Germany June 2, and he followed up by netting one apiece in World Cup qualifying victories over Jamaica, Panama and Honduras that
sent the USA to the top of the Hexagonal standings.
Both Wondolowski and Altidore have scored consistently for the club teams. Wondo tied the MLS season record last year by netting 27
goals for the Quakes, but his struggles for the USA – especially a few crucial misses in the 2011 Gold Cup -- and in the 2012 MLS playoffs for San Jose tarnished his reputation. Altidore set a
record for an American in a foreign league by scoring 31 goals last season for Dutch club AZ even as his barren U.S. run continued.
"Service helps out," says Martino in the
case of Altidore. "I don't it's a coincidence that Jozy Altidore started scoring again once Jurgen Klinsmann adjusted things to get him a little more service and a little more
support. They've moved slightly into a more vintage 4-4-2 look, with Graham Zusi delivering outstanding service from the right side and Dempsey playing a little closer to [Altidore] than he used
"Ask any forward that plays up top by himself; they say that they can handle the challenge -- the second you're on an island by yourself, it becomes difficult.
That's not what it's like for his club team; he gets a tremendous amount of support up top. He had a lot of service, which he wasn't getting with the USA. That, compounded with the
fact he was getting criticized and the pressure was mounting, handcuffed him."
Wondolowski still has to prove he can score for the U.S. in a meaningful competitive match, but after
scoring against Guatemala – the fifth U.S. goal in a six-goal romp – he reiterated the need to rely on instinct. "You just get in there and rely on muscle memory and just try to
finish it to the best of your ability," he said.
"It's one of those things for a goalscorer; it's huge to get the confidence and the momentum going. Hopefully [the
goals] keep coming."
One forward who hasn't been in the team much this year is Herculez Gomez, who didn't play in the May and
June matches and during the Gold Cup left the USA to return to Club Tijuana, which opened the Liga MX season Friday by tying Atlas, 3-3. Gomez scored the first U.S. goal in the rout of Guatemala, then
was replaced for the Gold Cup knockout round by Wondolowski's San Jose teammate, Alan Gordon. Knee problems continue to bother Gomez, who could need
Gordon plays as a target forward in the Altidore mold. Gomez, like Eddie Johnson, has also been used by Klinsmann as a wide midfielder.
Donovan knows Gordon from their days together at the Galaxy, and though the initial selection of Gordon elicited surprise, in 18 minutes of play during his debut last year he set up the winning goal
for Johnson against Antigua & Barbuda.
Wondolowski has also been used in midfield by San Jose, which occasionally deploys Gordon and Steven
Lenhart up front. Klinsmann wants as much versatility in his players as possible, and this could be an important factor as the coach decides between Johnson, Gomez and Wondolowski has he fills
out the attacking slots on his roster. Scoring is vitally important but so is playing the role assigned by the coach.
Not surprisingly, Gordon swears by his club teammate, Wondo. "I
have not played with anybody like him," says Gordon, a veteran of nearly a decade of MLS play. "He's a top-class finisher. He's someone I try to learn from every single day, I
really do."

Ira Glass and his back-up dancers entertained a nearly full house at Kingsbury Hall on Saturday night.
Yes, Glass - the host of "This American Life" - came with back-up dancers.
Mostly, however, he was there to talk about what he does. And tell stories. Which he did in the dark for a while to mimic the effect of radio before bringing up the lights.
"This is what I look like," he told the audience. "I thought you'd look different, too."
He talked about how, while "This American Life" tackles to important stories, "We think of this as entertainment." And how the goal has always been to "take the smell of broccoli out fo the air" when they're telling stories on public radio.

A roll-call of top British artists including Tracey Emin, Peter Doig and Sarah Lucas have lost tens of thousands of pounds in an ill-fated West End hotel venture.
They were signed up as "ambassador" shareholders of St John Hotel in Leicester Square by chef and restaurateur Fergus Henderson, known as the "king of offal", and his business partner Trevor Gulliver.
But the ambitious new project suffered a "nightmare" series of setbacks including opening a year late, a legal row with its builders, disruptive construction work in Leicester Square and the slump in tourism trade during the Olympics.
The company that owned the 15-room hotel, St John Chinatown Ltd, fell into administration in October only weeks after its restaurant earned a first Michelin star. The business has now been sold to a Singaporean tycoon and the hotel and restaurant are both open.
Full details of the saga emerged for the first time in a report to creditors drawn up by administrators Tim Dolder and Trevor Binyon, of corporate restructuring firm RSM Tenon.
The document, seen by the Evening Standard, shows that shareholders — many of them "well known" friends of the founders — stumped up a total of £2.25 million to back the development, on what was the site of fish restaurant Manzi's.
Henderson, founder of St John restaurant in Smithfield, is famed for his "nose to tail" style of cooking.
When the hotel opened he described it as "cheeky in a nice way", with a bar that would serve all night and a kitchen "like an 18th century man o' war", adding: "The spirit of the place is 'Yes'."
But the administrators' report reveals that the owners had already suffered a disastrous catalogue of setbacks since first drawing up their plans in 2007.
They hired staff and took guest bookings for Christmas 2010 after the builders said the hotel would be ready in time.
In fact it was not fit to open until April 2011, and even then, further "snagging" problems meant that only half of the rooms could be used. As a result the hotel lost £1.4 million in its first trading year.
In addition, Westminster council's lengthy makeover of Leicester Square meant that "builder's materials and site waste was regularly found outside of the premises, and at times the only view from the restaurant windows was that of the construction works." The restaurant was also unable to use its outdoor seating terrace.
Tough economic conditions, exacerbated by the "negative impact" on restaurants caused by the Olympics, pushed the hotel into insolvency on 19 October, after the directors decided they did not want to provide any extra funding.
The hotel is now out of administration under its new ownership. It has remained open and traded profitably since October, with occupancy rates close to 90 per cent. However, a £2.98 million shortfall at St John Chinatown Ltd means the original shareholders are unlikely to get their money back.
They also included gallery owner Sadie Coles, ceramicist Jane Hamlyn, American painter Elizabeth Peyton, Littlewoods heir and art collector James Moores, and writer Guy Kennaway.
Trevor Gulliver said they were being "very supportive" despite the probable loss of their investments. He added: "They are all grown ups, no one put in millions or hundreds of thousands." The rest of the St John restaurant group was unaffected by the administration, he said.
"Everyone is quietly working through what has been a very difficult process to protect jobs and suppliers. The restaurant is still cooking well and the hotel is busy. It has improved the streetscape and it will still be a happy and successful building in 10, 20, 30 years time."
The new owner is Loh Lik Peng, a Singaporean hotelier who also owns a venue converted from Bethnal Green Town Hall. He bought St John Hotel for an undisclosed sum.

Babywearing on my back...
I have been front carrying my son since he was 6 weeks old, he is now 10 months but I really struggle with getting him into a back carry. I've tried everything from distraction to "sneaking" him around from a hip carry, but he really freaks out and I lose the seat instantly. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could try or should I just continue to front carry?
15th September 2014 06:53 AM #2
It does take practice. What type of sling are you using - a woven wrap? If so what able trying one that is perhaps quicker to get him up there like a Mei Tai or full buckle (such as the Tula)? There are a lot of sling libraries out there and these are great places to try a new type of sling for a couple of weeks and also get some help with back carrying.
You could also try using a weighted doll/ teddy and practising with getting this on your back. Also, could you have someone to help you/ help distract your son?
Warm wishes,

"It was a fantastic two games for us in Syracuse," Roy Williams said. "We had some great fans there that really cheered us on, and we also knew that we'd have you waiting for us here at home -- our tremendous fans. We were undefeated here in the Smith Center this season and that was because of you."
"What can I say?" Raymond Felton asked, holding up his Final Four hat. "Look at it."
The mood surrounding the team was one of happiness without being satisfied. It's been a tough road to this point, but the goal is not yet accomplished.
Rashad McCants took the microphone with one of the Final Four nets draped around his neck and hung it from the mic stand to a standing ovation.
"That looks really good, doesn't it," he said to a round of cheers. "…We know for many years that we'll be able to look up there [in the rafters] and see that we are a part of history. (Pauses for applause) But we have important games left, and they are going to be the hardest games of our lifetimes.
"But we have the toughest soldiers up here. And we have the smartest generals, and colonels, and sergeants… We aren't going to let you down… We are going to bring one of those back home." (pointing to the 1982 national championship banner.
Roy Williams is giving the team the day off on Monday before they begin preparation for their pursuit of the national championship next weekend.

Penelope Fitzgerald's novels expertly map the unquiet heart. But so, too, do her three biographies, all of which mingle truth and tact, wit and documentary power. The Knox Brothers, first published in 1977, is suffused with rich, right strangeness and sad delight. Fitzgerald begins her group portrait of her father and three uncles a few generations back, establishing on the Knox side a tradition of religious fervor, dominant fathers, and invalid mothers. The Frenches were equally ecclesiastical but not so dour, her great-grandfather Thomas perhaps the most extraordinary of the lot: he ended his days wandering through Arabia preaching Christ's love. (In the end, "agents of the Sultan, who deeply respected the strange old fakir, were deputed to keep watch over him, but they could do nothing when they found him insensible, still with a book in his hand.")
We would gladly spend more time among these ancients, but this is the story of four sons--two of them agnostic, the other two deeply religious--born to Edmund and Ellen Knox between 1881 and 1886. Edmund George Valpy, Fitzgerald's father, would go on to edit Punch under the sobriquet Evoe. Alfred Dillwyn was first a classical scholar and then a world-class cryptographer. Wilfred Lawrence was concerned above all with poverty and inequity and made his life as an Anglo-Catholic priest. And, lastly, Ronald Arbuthnott, too, devoted his life to God, causing great familial distress by converting to Catholicism. (As a young boy, he would perform funeral rites for dead birds while sporting his sister Ethel's "pinafore for a surplice.") Raised in an era in which Anglicanism and Empire held sway, the brothers were blessed with a bright beginning in Leicestershire: All the children were so happy there that in later years they could cure themselves of sleeplessness simply by imagining that they were back at Kibworth.... They were completely safe in the large nursery at the top of the back stairs, looking down into the kitchen garden, where in memory it was always summer, with the victoria plums ripening on the south wall. Their father mounted his stout horse, Doctor, to set off on his parish visits, and their dearly loved mother waved from an upper window. This is only one beautiful passage among many in The Knox Brothers, and very characteristic as it weaves between sharp description and never-never-land nostalgia. Alas, it also points forward to irreparable change. First their father was granted a larger, less bucolic diocese in industrial Birmingham, and next their mother died too soon, in 1892.
The Knox Brothers is as acute as it is affectionate. Whether Fitzgerald is describing "slumbrous" turn-of-the-century Oxford or an infinitely more advanced Cambridge circa 1903--or Ronnie's 1951 private audience with the Pope, during which these men of the cloth mostly discussed the Loch Ness monster--she effortlessly evokes vanished worlds. She can also paint an entire relationship in a short space. As Dilly lay dying, his wife "nursed him devotedly. These two people had loved each other for twenty years without being able to make each other happy. They would have given the world, now they were at the point of separation, to understand one another." There is everything to savor in such scenes, so revealing of character and (perhaps) class. All four brothers, even as they grew into their separate visions, never lost their love for one another, and worked their wild talents as hard as was humanly possible. About the only enigma these intellectuals and devoted practical jokers could never resolve--and Penelope Fitzgerald makes us wonder if any of us can--was "an inner struggle between reason and emotion, and between emotion and the obligation not to show it." --Kerry Fried"The anecdotes are wonderful. The Knox Brothers...provides a striking insight into the elusive nature of Fitzgerald's genius." -New York Times.
Here is a biography whose eccentric genius perfectly matches that of its subjects. Penelope Fitzgerald tells the lives of four extraordinary Englishmen-her father and his brothers-with style and wit. Here is the story of a deeply fascinating family mind, shared by four brothers and passed along to their remarkable biographer.

Bill Berry, (ID #241), an Augusta/Washington Co. Berry, was kind enough to share with us an interesting book about the relationship between William Franklin Berry and Abraham Lincoln.
Posted by FTDNA for anyone interested:
This notice just received from James Berry, admin of the Barry DNA Project. Anyone interested to help should contact him directly.
For the past year I have been working with forensic anthropologists and genetic scientists at University College Dublin on an effort to conduct DNA testing on the remains of a titled member of the family. We have just received ministerial permission to take samples from the remains of Richard Barry, 6th Earl of Barrymore, who died in the 18th century. This will provide the first opportunity to do a direct genetic comparison of living Barry men with one of our famous forebears. It will also enable the scientists to develop and refine methods for forensic analysis and DNA testing that will be valuable both to the academic community and to other Irish families who wish to explore their roots through genetic genealogy.
All of the professionals involved in this project are donating their time. We will, however, have some logistical expenses totaling about 2500 Euro ($3500), and it is in this regard that I wanted to solicit support for supporting the project. There is more detailed information on the project, its goals and methods on our web site: https://sites.google.com/site/barrymorednaproject.
I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have and hope that you will find this project of interest. Please feel free to repost or forward this message to any interested parties.

Well, according to the folks who know a lot more about this stuff than I do, maybe the BIG Y STRs are not going to be reported. At least not for a while.
OK. I guess it's time to get our learning hats on (again). Up to this point I have pretty much ignored SNPs and SNP testing. Our interest has been, and is, genetic genealogy. And, up to this point, my understanding was that STRs are valuable for genealogy and SNPs are valuable for things on a longer time frame like population migrations.
Friends of mine are now in Arizona. For your listening pleasure.

Have your say: The deputy leaders' debate
Anġlu Farrugia: PL not promising to reduce water tariffs
Updated 11.25 p.m.
The debate between PN deputy leader Simon Busuttil and PL deputy leader Anġlu Farrugia was held this evening on Xarabank, without an audience in the studio.
At the opening of the debate, when questioned on cases of alleged corruption, Dr Busuttil replied instead by criticising the Labour Party for not having sent its deputy leader for the debate yesterday, when it was meant to be held. He described the decision as irresponsible.
Dr Farrugia said he had no problem facing Dr Busuttil, but the PL felt it was opportune to give airtime to Dr Debono. He criticised Dr Busuttil for not facing Dr Debono and also criticised PBS for what he said was its political slant.
The debate then settled down to current issues.
Dr Farrugia produced an Appeal Court's sentence which, he said, proved that a contractor had threatened a worker to vote PN, a situation which, he said amounted to corrupt practice. At the end of the debate Dr Busuttil said he would check about the matter.
Later when pressed about the PL promises to reduce water and electricity rates, Dr Farrugia said the PL was promising to reduce electricity rates, not the water tariffs. Later, at the end of the programme, Dr Farrugia appeared to indicate that water tariffs would also be reduced because production costs for water would go down.
On divorce, Dr Busuttil said he had not involved himself in the debate because of his personal issues, but he voted in favour of divorce in the referendum and had he been in parliament, he would have voted in favour of divorce. Dr Gonzi, he said, had voted against divorce in parliament as a matter of conscience, but he ensured that the will of the people was respected.

Commercial PropertiesThe best way of explaining what commercial properties are, is to define what they are not. Commercial properties consist of any form of real estate other than residential or land. Commercial property is primarily used as an investment vehicle, where a Landlord and Tenant relationship is established, and the Landlord or Property Owner is able to generate income from leasing the commercial property. Owners of commercial property may prefer to sell the commercial property shortly after purchasing the real estate (called "flipping"), or they may keep the property for long-term investment.
Property ManagementMany people purchase real estate strictly as a financial investment, and little to no knowledge of how to manage commercial property. When this happens, the property owner typically hires a commercial property management company to not only manage the commercial real estate, but provide maintenance and leasing services as well.
Types of Commercial PropertyThe classification of commercial property can be divided into the following property groups:
- Retail
- Industrial Warehouse
- Office
- Apartment
Commercial Property Type: Retail
|Retail shopping center
Commercial Property Type: Industrial Warehouse
|Industrial Warehouse
- Dock height
- Garage doors
- Air-condition
- Three (3) Phase Electric

Audition Information
For Non-High School Senior Auditions scroll down the page
Auditions for High School Seniors for BFA in Theatre Arts
with concentrations in Professional Acting and Theatre for Youth
Admission into the BFA in Theatre Arts with concentrations in Professional Acting and Theatre for Youth is by audition only.
***(Auditions for students currently enrolled at East Carolina University will take place on Friday, March 6, 2015, 2:00-4:30)***
Auditions for current high school senior students wishing to be considered for provisional early acceptance into the BFA in Theatre Arts will take place on Saturday, February 28, 2015 from 1:00-3:00 at the Messick Theatre Arts complex on the campus of East Carolina University. (Auditions for the BFA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Musical Theatre will take place on the same day. Students are welcome to audition for all three concentrations.)
You will be asked to perform a 1-2 minute contemporary monologue for members of the acting faculty.
Your audition will be followed by a brief interview, resulting in one of three outcomes:
1. Early provisional acceptance into the Professional Acting and/or Theatre for Youth program(s);
2. Recommended but not accepted -- meaning that we think you have strong potential for development and encourage you to attend ECU and begin course work as noted below in preparation to audition again for acceptance in March of your freshman year;
3. Not recommended for this program.
If accepted, you will be required to take THEA 1010, -1020 and -2015 (Intro to Acting I, II and Voice-Articulation) in your freshman year. In the spring semester of your freshman year, there will be a juried evaluation of your work to confirm your continuation in the program.
To set up a time to audition for the programs, please contact Natalie Stewart via email (email@example.com) or phone (252-328-2110).
Our BFA in Professional Acting consists of three years of conservatory-type training after freshman preparation, including two years of intense acting classes based in the Meisner technique, as well as classes in voice and speech, movement, stage combat, dance, dialects, directing, acting for TV/film, and professional preparation/audition repertory. Our graduates are exceptionally well prepared either for a professional acting career in both theatre and TV/film, or for further training in graduate school. Further, we offer comprehensive education and training in all aspects of Theatre Arts with a core curriculum of classes in theatre history, costuming, stage scenery, lighting, and stage management.
Our BFA in Theatre for Youth prepares students to work in professional children's theatre and theatre for youth in the areas of acting, directing, playwriting and management. Training in the areas of Theatre for Youth includes coursework in Youth Theatre I and II, Movement and Stage Combat, Acting, and Design and Production, extensive practical touring and community experience in main stage performances with Storybook Theatre at Wright Auditorium and the Turnage Theatre in Washington, NC. Candidates are encouraged to view our video, "Storybook Theatre" by going to the School of Theatre and Dance Home Page at www.ecu.edu/theatredance.
The School of Theatre and Dance produces five main stage productions each school year. All students, including freshmen, are encouraged to audition, as it replicates "real world" competition for roles. Casting is based on the student's ability and fit for the role, not on the student's class standing. Since we offer strictly undergraduate degrees, our BFA students are not competing against graduate actors for roles on the main stage.
AUDITIONS for the BFA in Theatre Arts with Concentrations in
Friday, March 6, 2015
Messick Room 201 from 2:00-4:30
Friday, March 6, 2015
Messick Room 201 from 2:00-4:30
The audition process for the BFA concentrations in Professional Acting and Theatre for Youth will consist of an audition, and a callback list and interview if needed. Please read the following directions carefully.
1) If you have passed THEA 1010 (i.e., received a grade of C or better) and have passed or are currently enrolled in THEA 1020 and THEA 2015, then you are eligible to audition for these BFA concentrations.
2) Sign up for a time to audition with Natalie Stewart (Messick Room 216). She will give you the monologue choices.
3) Select one of the monologues and prepare it for your audition. Memorize the monologue and make specific choices about the circumstances. Faculty members are not allowed to coach you with your monologue.
4) Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your assigned time in order to be fully prepared for the audition.
5) You can audition for both of the BFA concentrations or just one of them. You will be able to indicate this choice at the audition.
6) The call back, if needed, will consist of an interview with Greg Funaro and/or Patch Clark for the Professional Acting and Theatre for Youth concentrations, respectively.
7) Before you audition for the Professional Acting concentration, it is strongly recommended that you read Sanford Meisner On Acting, in order to familiarize yourself with the Meisner technique.
8) If you have any questions, you may contact Natalie Stewart: Messick 216, firstname.lastname@example.com, 328-2110.
Admittance into the Professional Acting Program
Students are admitted to this program by jury during the spring semester of their freshman year. Eligible students audition with a monologue provided by the acting faculty. Approximately 12-14 students are admitted each year (out of an average of 40-50 applicants).
Students are eligible to audition for the Actor Training Program if they have completed the following courses:
Providing they meet the above prerequisites, transfer students may audition on the same day as the current students.
Professional Acting students are not permitted to take Directing until they have completed THEA 3020. Students accepted into the program are not necessarily required to pursue a BFA degree in Acting. (There have been students who have majored in Musical Theatre, Teacher Certification, Art, and English.) However, it is preferred that the Actor Training students follow the full acting course of study which results in a BFA degree in Acting.
During the majority of the freshmen year, the acting faculty evaluate a student's work in the classroom, during auditions, and in productions (e.g. main stage, workshops, directing projects).
In addition to the audition, the acting faculty evaluate students on the following criteria as displayed in acting and voice classes:

Arsène Wenger insists that scoring goals is not the be-all and end-all if you're an Arsenal striker.
Nicklas Bendtner has come under scrutiny in the past week after squandering a string of chances against Burnley before making amends with a hat-trick against Porto. In time-honoured fashion, the Danish striker lurched from zero to hero in the media with one tabloid going as far as issuing an apology to the player after his Porto treble.
But a closer inspection of Arsenal's scoring stats shows that strikers are responsible for fewer than 40 per cent of their goals this season. And as far as Wenger is concerned, it doesn't matter whether Bendtner or a fellow striker finds the net provided Arsenal play well enough to create chances and win each game.
"For me the most important thing is that we have the best attack in the Premier League this season, and our strikers haven't scored as many goals," said the manager.
"For us it is important our team play is right, then anyone can score in our team. There is no special responsibility on any given striker to score goals.
"I was not tempted to drop Bendtner because we had a good game [against Burnley]. You can have a good game and miss chances. He missed the chances where you feel the striker always feels guilty, but I never make a special thing of somebody scoring or not. What is important is the team wins, not whether Bendtner scores or not.
"We won against Burnley and won against Porto. In one he scored, in one he did not - but most importantly we won both the games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
