Mid-range HTC U11 (Ocean Life) in the works
The HTC U11 has been getting a lot of attention since it made its debut in mid-May, but that doesn't mean that HTC intends the U11 to meet the needs of every customer. According to @LlabTooFeR, HTC is working on a cheaper variant of the flagship U11 – dubbed the Ocean Life.
This may be the first time that we're hearing about the HTC Ocean Life, but the rumor comes packed with a full spec list for the device. The phone is said to be powered by a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 and will have a 5.2-inch 1080p display, 16MP cameras on the front and back of the phone, a 2,600 mAh battery and Bluetooth 5.0. The HTC Ocean Life will also be equipped with a pressure-sensitive body to enable Edge Sense, USonic audio and will be running on Android 7.1.1 with HTC Sense 9.0.
The phone will likely have 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, but those detail were not mentioned in this leak. No information was given regarding the phone's design, but we're going to assume that it'll look somewhat similar to the HTC U11. If the HTC Ocean Life sounds familiar, that's because it's just a rehash of the HTC U Play that was released back in January. The processor is different and the battery is slightly larger, but everything else on the phone is expected to be the same. We honestly don't know anyone who purchased the HTC U Play, so we're not sure if an updated model will be any more enticing than the original unless performance is above average and the price is below $450.
Device will also be featured by
Sense 9.0
Edge Sense
HTC USonic

What Does He Do For Fun?
Gifts related to his hobbies or favorite pastimes are always great options. Whether he loves to play sports on the weekends or paints in his free time, there are cool gifts for guys related to just about every hobby on the planet.
A hobby-related gift is thoughtful because it shows that you really know him and you care enough to give him the tools to continue with his hobbies.
What if you don't know what his hobbies are?
If you're not sure what his hobbies are (or if he even has one), you can subtly ask friends and family for some advice. If he's a cousin, friend or someone you just started dating, other people who know him well would be happy to help share this information with you.
If he doesn't have any hobbies, but he's expressed interest in a few, now is a great opportunity to help him get started.
When in doubt, make him go out on a limb and try something so uncharacteristically him that it makes him grow as a person. Better yet, go on the adventure with him. An adventure can be a gift to go rock climbing indoors, skiing, fixing that old clunker that's accumulating rust in the yard or anything you know he would never do on his own.
Go For the Classics
Classic, crowd-pleasing gifts are always a great go-to if you can't nail that perfect, personal gift. And you don't have to stick with something boring, like a gift card (although those are still great).
Some classic gifts that will make every guy happy are:
- Self-care products (skin care products, massagers, colognes, etc.)
- Shaving items (brushes, kits, razors, beard oils, etc.)
- Watches and other jewelry
- Chocolate (or any type of food basket)
- Belts
- Sunglasses
Even if he has a dozen watches or ten different belts, he'll be happy to get another one. And who wouldn't love a big basket of delicious treats?
Classic gifts are a great option for guys who are new to your life, or for someone who has everything and can be very picky about gifts.
What Does He Need?
Everyone (or just about everyone) needs something. Think about some things he may have mentioned that he needs.
Maybe a new set of power tools will help him finish that project he's been putting off. He might need a new man bag because the straps on his old one fell apart. Maybe he needs a new pair of running shoes because he ruined his last pair on the track.
It may take a little time and effort to find something he needs (guys don't always like to admit they need something), but this type of gift is very thoughtful and much appreciated.
With these three tips in mind, let's take a look at some of the best guy gifts.
Must-Have Gadgets
Every guy loves a good gadget, and this category is usually where you find the most unique gifts for men. Whether he's a tech nerd or just loves his iPhone, you're sure to find a gift here that will make him smile.
And if he's a serious geek, you won't find a better gift anywhere else.
There are gadgets for every personality, need and hobby. For the coffee connoisseur, there are high-tech, high-end espresso makers. For the smartphone junkie, there's a portable Bluetooth keyboard. And for the tech guys, there are 3D printers, USB-powered speakers, wearables, smart thermostats and more.
There's something for every budget in this category, and there's something for every taste.
If he's a guy who appreciates high-tech and quirky little toys, you'll find a gadget gift for him on this list.
Hilarious Gag Gifts
Give him the gift of laughter with funny gag gifts. For guys with a sense of humor, these sometimes-childish but always hilarious gifts will be the talk of the town.
From innocent and silly to downright crude, you'll find a gift for all flavors of humor.
There's bacon-flavored toothpaste (for the guy who takes the Paleo diet a little too seriously), a toilet mug for the man who hates going to work, and exploding golf balls to tee off the golf player in your life.
Gag gifts aren't for every guy. If he can't take a joke, move along and find something that won't send him crying in the corner – or fuming from anger.
If he can take the heat, a funny gift may be just the thing to make his special occasion memorable. And one thing's for sure – everyone will remember your gift.
Unique & Cool Gifts
You want to be remembered as the person that gives people great, unique gifts – not the person who gives little-to-no thought about the gifts you buy. Unique and cool gifts are available for men if you know where to look.
And you might be a little jealous about all of these cool gifts that are perfect for him.
Beer guys – most men – will love the idea of a corkcicle beer chiller that eliminates drinking a warm beer (yuck). Men who spend a lot of time grooming and want to look their best every day of the week can always use a fogless shower mirror.
The survivalist man appreciates the unique outdoor gadgets: water filter straws, tactical pens or gazing at the stars with an Orion SpaceProbe telescope.
Ditch the boring gifts that collect dust in the closet and give him the gift he's sure to remember.
Luxury Gifts
Life is meant to be enjoyed. He may spoil you, but when it comes to himself, he's a little frugal. It's time to make his gift the pinnacle of luxury.
Every man loves entertainment. An outdoor entertainment system? Check.
Crystal clear pictures via a curved QHD monitor? He'll be floored the next time he watches a YouTube video, movies or plays a game on his computer.
Designer home foosball tables? Yeah, they have that, too. There's even a luxury edition of Monopoly that many people never even heard of before. But, it's even harder to beat the quality, prestige and joy he'll find with a natural gas grill with a rotisserie and sear burner.
Luxury isn't just for the rich anymore.
Every man can have these once-in-a-lifetime gifts. And you know what? He deserves it.
It's time he's spoiled for once.
For the BBQ-Lovin' Man
Forget cooking on the stove when spring and summer roll around. Men will fight their way to the grill to cook up a delicious steak that's large enough to feed an army. Chopping French fries, serving ribs, watching the coals sizzle.
A BBQ-lovin' man deserves the best.
Brand those meats with a branding iron, serve the food on a BBQ serving table and make quick work of those French fries with a state-of-the-art French fry cutter. Men who want to smell bacon in the air, hear the popping of grease or can't wait to sink their teeth into a sirloin will appreciate a BBQ-themed gift.
He'll be so happy, you might even be invited to eat one of his famous steaks this year.
If he is a true BBQ-Lovin' man, he'll love the gifts on our list.
Christmas Gifts
Don't listen to the man who says he has everything he wants and doesn't want a Christmas gift. Men may be bashful, but it's time to make your man's eyes light up with excitement when he opens up that leather travel duffel bag that's perfect to replace that worn, tattered bag he has now.
Men who spend hours tuning and perfecting their audio systems can always use more power. A new home theatre system – he'll love it.
What about tools? Televisions? Whiskey edge? He'll fall over with excitement when he sees that survival card tool or the tire pressure gauge he's been eyeing. There are hundreds of options to pick from, and our updated list has the hottest items of the year for every man.
From tech genius to the rugged mechanic, there's something for every man on our list, whether he's a bachelor or a dad.
Christmas comes only once per year, and this time, you'll be armed with gifts for even the pickiest man on your list.
Gifts All Men Will Love
Some gifts are reserved for a very specific type of gentleman. Other gifts are great for guys of all ages. Because no matter how old you get, you still need to shave, eat, drink, fix things and drink (did we mention drink?).
These gifts will please any man. Whether he's your husband, boyfriend, cousin, dad, friend, brother, son or co-worker, there's not a gift on this list that most men wouldn't appreciate.
From power tools to outdoor gear, drinking supplies, clothing, tools and gadgets, you'll find all the classics on this list – and they won't disappoint. Splurge and go for that Apple watch, or please his inner musician with a new pair of wireless speakers.
If you cant' find the right gift anywhere else, you're sure to find it here.
Rugged Gifts for Masculine Men
Don't even bother with those sissy personal care items or high-tech gadgets. Your man is a manly man. He's too busy climbing mountains and wrestling up dinner with his bare hands to be worried about whether his smartphone is compatible with that app.
For the outdoorsy guy in your life, you'll find plenty of unique and thoughtful gifts that will make even the manliest of men crack a smile.
Maybe he needs a new tent or a fleece pullover to stay warm on those mid-fall camping trips. The only personal care item he'll appreciate is some beard oil and a nice wooden beard comb.
Actually, anything wooden will make him happy. That includes bow ties, watches and sunglasses.
Whether he's a lumberjack, hunter, climber, camper or a wannabe outdoorsmen, you'll find a gift on our list for the rugged man in your life.
First-Time Dad Gifts
Show the first-time dad in your life some love with a gift to celebrate his new arrival. Dads are just as intimidated, overwhelmed and excited about their new bundle of joy as moms. Bring him some comfort with a gift that will help him take on fatherhood with confidence.
From new dad manuals to strollers, dad-themed apparel, dude diaper bags, you can find everything he needs for life as a dad.
Dad-themed baby gear will help him tackle his duties as a dad with dignity. Trade in those floral diaper bags for something a little more manly. Hand him a book on how to be a prepared dad, or get him a baby carrier sweater so he doesn't have to wear that ridiculous strap-on contraption.
Let's face it – mom is getting most of the attention right now. She probably has everything she needs to be supermom. Dads need a little help and support, especially if this is his first child. There are dozens of dad-themed gifts for men that will make him feel more prepared and ready to start this exciting new chapter in his life.
No matter his personality or personal style, you'll find a new-dad gift he'll love and appreciate.

The Cookbook Blog: Cookbooks, Recipes, Reviews and Other Things
Blog URL: http://www.thecookbookblog.com/
The Cookbook Blog is, obviously, about cookbooks. Because stained and spattered cookbooks are incidental artwork, badges of honor, and a documentation of adventure. Stained smartphones are expensive, and frustrating.
Cookbooks are also a way to learn about different people, cultures, and cuisines. They are interactive books, capable of improving your skills and knowledge in a kitchen, and in the world around you. They're also retro, like CDs, and look damn good on a kitchen shelf.
So cook, read, buy cookbooks, or feel free to simply look at pictures and move along.
Look forward to more books and more cuisines as the weeks and months unfold, as well as cookbook reviews, author interviews, recipes, and more. [Read more]

A Presentation by Lennart Poettering
PulseAudio is a sound server for Unix/Linux and Windows systems. As such
it is a proxy for audio applications, handling mixing of multiple
audio streams and network transparency of audio output and input.
PulseAudio is intended to be a compatible drop-in replacement for the
GNOME sound server EsounD. To the functionality of Esound it adds some
new features, such as an extensible plug-in architecture, a better low
latency behaviour, a greater variety of supported sampling formats and
more accurate timing. It features a modern zero-copy memory manager
which reduces CPU and memory load. An extensive set of GUI tools for
configuration and management are available. In addition to the almost
complete compatibility with the EsounD protocol the sound server can
be accessed through the ALSA and the traditional OSS APIs, thus
reaching compatibility with 90% of the Linux audio applications.
The scope of application for the PulseAudio sound server is large and
diverse, ranging from embedded devices for networked audio, to thin
client audio, to normal user desktop audio.
PulseAudio is part of a few commercial products. It is our intention
to replace Esound as default GNOME sound server in the near future.
The sound server is available as part of a range of major distributions,
such as Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, OpenSUSE. By the time of
linux.conf.au it is very likely that it will be available in Debian
GNU/Linux and Ubuntu, too.
The presentation that I am proposing will be an introduction into this
sound server and its possibilities. It will include a more extensive
overview of the feature set mentioned above, a quick presentation of
the currently available plug-in modules and a list of third-party
applications which currently support PulseAudio natively.
I will demonstrate a few tricks which the sound server can do for the
user. In particular I plan to show hot-plugging of sound devices,
gap-free switching of active audio streams between multiple audio
devices, synchronous playback of a single stream on multiple devices
with differing crystals, Avahi/Zeroconf functionality, RTP multicast
streaming, X11 and GNOME integration, the GUI tools, the "Window
Manager for Sound".
I plan to compare PulseAudio's possibilities with the upcoming
Microsoft Vista sound architecture and PulseAudio's relation to the
GStreamer GSmartMix project. Subsequently I will talk about comparing
PulseAudio do other Free sound servers, which are arRts, JACK, and of
course Esound.
Then I would like to give an outlook on the near-time future of
PulseAudio, including upcoming new features and adoption by
third-party applications, distributions and other projects.
Finally - and only if time permits - I plan to give a quick
introduction on the PulseAudio configuration language which can be
used to adapt the sound server to the personal needs.
More information about the PulseAudio project is available on:

"Ooooooo, Paula Deen used the word nigger!" many people have said as I work my way through Twitter and Facebook so I can increase my time of snappy put downs and unadulterated slander. I was too busy trying to avoid this conversation. Yet, all I kept hearing (and keep hearing) about is Paula Deen and the use of the "N" word. I guess people don't want to let it go. In short, I guess people are ultimately in awe and surprise about her use of racist and derogatory language.
To that I say this: Get-The-F&%$-Out-Of-Here-With-That-BS!!!
Do we really need to get into why you should lose that surprised/ashamed of her look off of your faces? Honestly, most of you should be relieved that she finally got it out into the atmosphere so we know it's real.
Chocolate covered lie: we should be surprised/ashamed that Paula Deen has some racism going on.
Although Her Actions Weren't The Brightest
Alright, so we all know that she didn't make the brightest decision when it came to the use of such language. While she did give the typical, run-of-the-mill apology, did many of us take it seriously? She didn't apologize because she was WRONG. She apologized because she got caught. I would have felt better if she said "My bad" and kept on moving.
With that given, this brings up the issue of using discretion. As a woman of her age and stature, she should know better than to act a certain way "in public". If you are going to be a racist, then that is one you. If you are going to make racist jokes, then that is on you. However, having an empire based on a high fatty commodity that many people love endangers you to the opinions and judgment of the public.
Oh, and I'm not making anything that she did okay. I'm just saying.
I STILL Don't Understand The Surprise
We all know that Paula Deen was born January 19, 1947. That means that she was in the cusp of the Civil Rights Movement. This also means that she probably seen Jim Crow work its "black magic" (no puns) on the nation. And with that come the segregation, separatism, and overall salacious slander of African Americans. Thus, Paula Deen grew up in racially stringent times.
But, oh no: America has to play the "politically correct" card and act like we should be shocked by this kind of behavior.
Whether or not she is "racist" over all matters not. What should matter is that she comes from a racially charged time in which sneers and slander dealing with "niggers", "japs", "kikes", "slanty eyed cocksuckers", "wet backs", and any other type of racist language was as common law as in house long term marriages. What should also matter is that the southern culture helped made this type of thinking acceptable. What should be known is that many whites have a lineage of cultural privilege in the Antebellum south. Racist or not, she probably thinks a certain away about "people" in general.
I have noticed the problem here: we, as a nation, have long been too accepting of this "we are the world" mumbo jumbo that these statements take some (keyword) of us by surprise. You really think an old school southerner that has made millions off of plantation recipes high in saturated fat won't have a few racial quips here and there? If you think so, then I a low fat, vegan recipe for you based solely on spinach and butter. If you realize the truth, then act like it. Paula Deen is just like anybody else from her time: full of her own prejudices and judgments.
Point blank: can we move on from this? If you want to have a dialogue to actually eradicate racism, then let us do that. However, wasting time worrying about what an old school woman says that was racially suspect is not worth our time. You would have better time stopping rappers from doing the popular drug of the day. At least THAT is subject to trends. Paula Deen's behavior is no trend; it is the actualization of the racism in our civilization. So please act like it and pass the butter for my damn croissants.
Praise Yeezus.
'Nuff said and 'Nuff respect!!!

July 21: Three youths were killed when their car braked suddenly to avoid a pothole on NH2 in Durgapur and was hit from behind by a truck late last night.
Those killed were contract workers of the Damodar Valley Corporation power plant in Andal. The eight others in the Maruti Omni, including the driver, were admitted to hospital with injuries.
"The workers were travelling to office for their night shift when the accident happened near the Gandhi More crossing. The Omni driver braked all of a sudden to avoid a pothole and the truck behind it could not stop and rammed into it. The Omni skidded and overturned," a police officer said.
The police took the victims to Durgapur subdivisional hospital, where three were declared dead on arrival. The dead have been identified as Krishna Chowdhury, 28, Dara Chowdhury, 25, and Dulal Chand Chowdhury, 24.
The truck driver sped away with his vehicle.

Originally released in 1994, the classic features a white and black tumbled leather upper with a powder-lined interior. Finishing off the look below is a black midsole and alternating black and powder rubber outsole.

To what extent is an individuals's sense of belonging determined by external forces?What are some key point's that I can talk about in my paragraphs?

- list Cite
Give that the question is posted in the literature section, I am assuming that the question is meant to refer to a character's failure to feel as though they belong. Essentially, many external factors can force a person to feel as though they do not belong.
These external factors can be defined as external conflict (man verses man, man verses nature, and man verses supernatural). Typically, the conflict of man verses man is the one which causes a character to feel isolated, alienated, and exiled.
For example, a person may not feel like they belong based upon interpersonal conflict. The character may fight with others, be told that they do not belong, or feel out of place in the society as a whole. This comes from the feeling that the character does not share any characteristics of those around them.
As strong as a person may be, the external forces which come into play can have a great impact upon them. For example, if a person (or character) is repeatedly told that they are worthless (as seen in David Pelzer's A Child Called It), they will begin to believe that they are worthless.
Another example can be seen in Laurie Halse Anderson's novel Speak. Melinda, the protagonist, has called the cops on a party she was raped at. No one knew what happened to her because she did not tell. Instead, the entire school only thought she called for no real reason. The entire school turns against her.
IN the end, the external factors which come into play in a character's life can be overwhelming. These factors can, unfortunately, define a character and make them feel as though they do not belong at all.

Before I get into this post, let me be clear on a few things. I'm still fat and yes, I'm fat. Fat isn't a dirty word. It's a fact. We all have fat; some more than others. Don't go getting all offended because I'm talking about myself. I'm not a personal trainer, nutritionist, or anything else. What I am is a real woman, a wife, mother, who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes back in July. I'm a real person, a fat person, who's busting her ass to lose weight the natural way. What does that mean? It means I'm not taking any pills (other than my prescribed medication), using any special food, drinking shakes, or doing wraps. I'm eating right and getting off my ass more. Now that that's done, here's my weight loss advice.
Don't Wait Until You're Sick
This is what I did. I tried losing weight about a million and one times before my diagnosis but it never stuck. This time, I don't have a choice. That's kind of a good thing for me because when my back's against the wall I come out fighting. But, I shouldn't have let it get this far. There are days when I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle and that no matter how hard I try, nothing works. You're going to have those days no matter what, but if you wait until you're sick, you're faced with the fact that you don't have a choice anymore.
Be Brutally Honest with Yourself
This is so freakin' hard but oh so necessary. I took a long, hard look at myself in the days after I was diagnosed and I didn't like what I saw. I saw that I was lazy when it came to taking care of myself, but what was worse was that I realized I didn't love myself. I have so much love for everyone in my life but I didn't have that same love for myself. It's time to face facts and get honest.
I started this blog for that reason and to hold myself accountable. I put it all out there on social media, everywhere. I'm a fairly open person anyway, about most things, but it was really hard for me to put my weight out there for the world to see. But, as hard as it was to do that, the compliments mean so much more! People are more accepting than we give them credit for and most of them want to see you succeed.
Don't be Easily Discouraged
I don't care what anyone tells you, there is no quick fix for weight loss! Got it? There's no pill, shake, or wrap that's going to make you lose weight without you putting in some elbow grease of your own. So, forget about all that crap right now. With that said, you're going to feel discouraged from time to time; that's to be expected. You're going to have days where your food is on point and your workout was amazing and the scale either doesn't move or goes up. After losing more than 30 pounds, I still have days like this.
Don't let days like that get to you. The more you move, the more muscle you're using and building. Even if the scale stays the same or goes up, listen to your clothes. They're going to tell you how you're doing overall. The scale doesn't know the difference between fat and muscle and your weight doesn't define the effort you've put into getting healthy.
Don't Use Fad Diets or Gimmicks
You already know these things don't work so don't waste your hard-earned money on them. Weight loss is a $20+ billion industry and it shouldn't be. The only way you're going to lose weight and get healthy is by eating better and exercising. Who says Cize is better than running around your neighborhood? No one! In fact, getting outside is more beneficial than staying inside anyway. Fresh air and sunshine do a world of good for your mood and your body. The only time I exercise inside is when it's raining. Of course, this will probably change once winter sets in and it's -20 degrees outside.
Work Hard!
Hard work is the key to success – no matter what you do in life. Weight loss isn't any different. In fact, you just might have to work harder to lose weight than anything else. Check this out – as we get older, our bodies start to turn against us especially if we're not healthy. It gets harder to lose weight, concentrate, see, hear, you name it. Don't let that discourage you though! If you bust your ass to get healthy now, that's one less thing you have to do later in life.
Keep a Blog or Journal
You need a place to get your thoughts out, which is what this blog is for me. It's my online journal that allows me to speak my mind about my weight loss journey, what's working, what isn't, what I've learned, etc. I've learned patterns from keeping this blog and it's helped me hold myself accountable and learn so much more about myself. You need something like this during your journey, too. It's therapeutic to get your thoughts out of your brain and you'll sleep a lot better. If you're not ready to put it all out there for the world, keep a paper journal instead. You need that outlet.
Have Support
It's so much easier to lose weight when you have the support of your friends and family. I received a ton of support from my Facebook friends when I put it all out there. I was blown away! My husband is my biggest supporter, my kids are second, and then it's my mom and my friends. I couldn't do this if I didn't have their support. You need people in your life who want to see you succeed and who are willing to help you get there. My husband has heard me bitch, moan, groan, and complain about everything that bothers me, weight loss related or not. I also started a Facebook page where I share motivational and inspirational photos so be sure to head over and give it a like.
Log Everything You Eat
If you eat something, write it down! I use Lose It! to log all of my food and exercise. I love this app for a ton of reasons. It has a barcode scanner so you can just scan in the foods you eat. It also has the ability to use your location to pull up restaurants near you if you're eating out. The app is free but I have a premium subscription because I use the other features as well. I log my blood sugar and track my carbs, which are premium features.
There are a bunch of weight loss apps out there, and I've tried a few of them, but I always end up using Lose It!. Do you have that one app you're drawn to? Yeah, that's how it is for me with Lose It!. I love everything about that app!
Make Small Changes
I'm here to tell you right now that if you go all gung-ho on this crap you're going to fail. I've done this a million and one times, remember? So, I know. This time, I took the entire month of August to work on my food. I changed my breads and pastas to whole grain, I cut sugar out of my coffee, and I started eating Fiber One bars for my snack. I worked on portion control. August was the month of food for me – there wasn't any exercise. I've never done that before but it seems to have worked this time.
I'm really comfortable with food now and eating anywhere other than home doesn't scare me like it used to. I know what's good for me and what isn't. I also didn't give up everything. I still get my iced coffee from Dunkin' Donuts and that won't change. Yes, they're not good for me but I don't want to deny myself of everything I enjoy; I just get one instead of 2 or 3.
The beginning of September, I started adding exercise. My FitBit Charge HR helps keep me on track with my movement, calories burned, and miles walked. It's great motivation for me and I participate in challenges to increase my motivation.
No matter how you feel or what the scales says, never, ever give up! Now is the time for you to take care of and love yourself. If you don't support you how can you expect anyone else to support you? Think of yourself as your best friend. Would you give up on them? Would you talk negatively to them? No you wouldn't. You would love, support, and encourage them to always do their best. That's where you need to be with yourself!
I'm sure you're sitting there saying it's hard to do that, and I know it is, but it's essential. You have to love yourself if you're ever going to take care of yourself the right way. Stop making excuses for this, that, and the other. Do what needs to be done and you'll thank yourself for it later. Now is the time! Tomorrow isn't guaranteed so don't put it off.
Shew – so, that's my weight loss advice. This fat girl won't be fat for too much longer and I won't ever be fat again. It took type 2 diabetes for me to finally get here but don't let that happen to you. All of this is real advice from a real woman who's doing it this way. But, if you don't want to listen, that's up to you. I'll still be here, losing weight, my way. I've lost more than 30 pounds since August 1 so I must be doing something right!
Good luck on your journey and I'm always here if you need support, encouragement, or a shoulder! We're in this together – don't forget that.

Years ago, I worked with a woman whose hair flowed down to her waist. The hair was about 50% gray, but she said her long hair was just part of who she was. She scoffed at any suggestion to cut or color.
One summer day, she came in and we didn't recognize her. The long straight graying hair had been replaced by very short, curly, dark brown hair. She looked like a completely different woman. "Why?" we all asked. "Oh, it was about time. I was just afraid of change. I wasn't sure I could bear the process of sitting there while my years of hair growth were cut off. My old hair was part of who I was—but I had to remember that it wasn't all of who I was. I realized that my life was passing by and I'd never even tried anything different with my hair. I hoped I wouldn't hate the difference—but I was completely unprepared for loving it so much."
She glowed.
Three Boring Decades
Like many women, I don't have the best relationship with my hair. More than once, my Facebook status has been something along the lines of, "Having another terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad hair day."
My hair is mousy brown, and other than the one summer when I laid out (in the sun, with baby oil, because that's what we used to do) the day after I got a pretty strong perm and went accidentally blond for a few months, it's always been mousy brown. I have a few stray grays at the moment, but it's brown. I doubt that I'll dye as I get grayer, seeing as how my hair doesn't take chemical very well (as evidenced by the fact that a perm turned my hair an icky blondish color back in 1988).
My hair has some natural wave, but it is too fine to have any body. When I've tried to grow it longer in the past, it just kind of fizzles out and looks limp. For years, I've worn it in short layers. It's easy, it looks decent enough, and I've rarely had to do anything to it. In fact, it's when I start to have to spend time on my hair that I know it's time to get it cut again. When I met my husband, I was in the middle of a six-month effort to grow it out. Other than that, I've had pretty much the same hair style since 1982.
Yes, I've worn the same version of my hair for over thirty years. I'm sure this horrifies some of you who change hair style and color with the changes of the seasons.
My hair has been very, very boring, indeed.
Adventures in Growing My Hair
Now that I am working from home, I have a bit more time to do things with my hair. I can play with it. If I mess it up for a day, only my family will see. Like my co-worker who'd kept her hair long, I'd feared the process of growing my hair out—but I decided this would be a good time to experiment. My husband has wanted me to try to grow my hair out, so I decided that I would give it a try—but I didn't want to feel like I'm in a constant growing-out-my-layers state. (I've tried this a couple times before, and before my layers all grow out, I am reminded of why I always prefer short layers.) I wanted to really make a go of it this time.
I started to grow it out, and as usual, I found myself frustrated by the in-between fuzzy weirdness that I was starting to see. I was about to go get it cut again, but I had committed to growing my hair out for my husband. I reminded myself that this is an opportunity to do so with very few witnesses.
Instead of getting it cut again, I bought a flat iron (hair straightener) at the drug store. I am having a blast.
Every day, I plug it in and play. My limp and lifeless hair with just a little waviness here and there becomes shiny and straight. It looks so different! I get out the mirror and look at it from different angles. I don't always love it, but I love that I'm doing something fun and different.
My husband isn't sure what to make of the differences. He knows I'm trying to grow it out for him, but it's still shorter than he would like. With my hair straighter, sometimes he looks at me like he doesn't even recognize me.
Of course, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. When you have the same hairstyle for three decades, there's a lot you don't bother to learn about product, hair care, styling tools, etc. I have a lot of catching up to do. I've burned myself (only once, though), I've rewashed my hair so I could have a do-over for the day, and I've spent time staring into the mirror thinking how ridiculous I looked.
I had no idea how much fun it would be to have a slightly different hair style after thirty years of pretty much the same thing. I feel adventurous. I find that there are moments during the day when I think about my hair and it makes me smile. My hair is glowing, even.
Eventually, my hair will grow out. I wonder if I will be reminded of why I tend to prefer my hair short. But I also wonder if straightening my hair will help me past that in-between look enough that I will enjoy having longer hair. I wonder how this adventure will turn out. Maybe I'll decide it's so much fun that I'll let my hair keep on growing, and growing, and growing.
Adventures in Growing My Marriage
My fun with hair isn't too different from my journey of improving the intimacy in our marriage, which was limp and lifeless for a long time. It was nothing special to look at. I had no idea how much I would enjoy having it straightened out.
Most of the efforts I've made in the intimacy in our marriage have been experiments. What happens if I stop rolling my eyes . . . become more involved during sex . . . try to say "yes" instead of "no" . . . touch him in this place . . . try new things . . . ?
There were a lot of times it seemed that I was at an in-between stage. Things weren't the way I was used to in our marriage, but I knew I hadn't finished growing them out yet.
Quite frequently, I've had absolutely no idea what I'm doing. After nearly two decades of the same boring sex life (by my own decision), I have frequently been reminded of how behind I am on some of the learning most women experience earlier in their marriages—how to initiate, how to ask for specific acts for their own pleasure, etc.
But you know what? I've had a lot of fun. I don't always know how it's going to turn out, but I've enjoyed the adventure. The in-between stage of our marital intimacy—the time when we were still trying to get everything to grow out—hasn't always looked pretty, but we always know that we can try something different the next time. I find that there are moments during the day when I think about sex and it makes me smile. Some people have commented that I've been glowing.
Is It Time?
I had the same hair for a lot of years, and I know that it's going to look different than it used to—just like my marriage looks different than it did for so long.
My former co-worker explained her dramatic change in hair style. Let me use her words to describe the changes in the intimacy in my marriage:
Oh, it was about time. I was just afraid of change. I wasn't sure I could bear the process of cutting away my old habits. My old sexual habits were part of who I was—but I had to remember that it wasn't all of who I was. I realized that my life was passing by and I'd never even tried anything different with our marriage bed. I hoped I wouldn't hate the difference—but I was completely unprepared for loving it so much. I glow.
Is it time for you to try a whole new style in your marriage?
Don't you want to glow?

Repole's summer already sunnier
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Owner Mike Repole is doing his best to expunge the nightmare that was his 2009 Saratoga meet.
A year after going 0 for 36 at Saratoga, Repole has won four races from 14 starters through the first 10 days of this meet, putting him tied atop the owner standings with Gary and Mary West.
"I was 0 for 36 last year, that has to be a Saratoga record," said Repole, who despite his terrible Saratoga, ended 2009 as the leading owner on the New York Racing Association circuit with 51 wins. "It was the worst six weeks of racing in my life. I'm so focused on trying to win this meet."
One loss in particular that lingered in Repole's head was when Driven by Success was beaten as the 2-5 favorite in the John Morrissey Stakes.
Driven by Success is back for another shot at the $70,000 John Morrissey, which will be run as Thursday's third race. Once again, Driven by Success will be favored in the 6 1/2-furlong sprint for New York-breds.
Repole recalls that trainer Steve Asmussen had two horses in the race and that one of them, Dr. W., ran with Driven by Success early in hopes of setting it up for Premium Wine. After dueling with Dr. W through a half-mile in 43.87 seconds, Driven by Success opened up a three-length lead in midstretch only to be run down by Law Enforcement.
"It was the most devastating loss of my life," said Repole, who had a bunch of friends and family at the track that day.
Still smarting from that loss, Repole claimed Dr. W for $75,000 from Asmussen here on July 26.
Driven by Success, now trained by Todd Pletcher, has won his last two starts entering the Morrissey despite not breaking well in either one.
"The key to his success in his last couple of races is allowing him to settle rather than rush him when he doesn't break well," Pletcher said.
Law Enforcement, winless in five starts since the Morrissey, Legal Consent, Mor Chances and Naughty New Yorker complete the field.
Mott closes in on 4,000 wins
With three more victories, trainer Bill Mott will become just the ninth trainer in history to record 4,000 career victories in North America.
Mott, who turned 57 on July 29, recorded his 3,997th career victory on Saturday when Proviso won the Grade 1 Diana at Saratoga. He had three horses in on Wednesday – though one was a main-track only entrant for a turf race – and horses in five of 10 races on Thursday.
"It's not a milestone for just one person," Mott said Tuesday morning outside his barn. "It's a milestone for a whole organization. There are a lot of people that will have to take credit for that."
Mott, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1998 at age 45, said he is proud of the fact that many of these wins have come at the game's highest level. Mott has won 363 graded stakes in his career.
Mott said that there are no concrete plans for Proviso, but he said she will not run in the Ballston Spa later in the meet. Mott also said that Unrivaled Belle came out of her second-place finish in the Ruffian Invitational "reasonably well" but would not run back in the Personal Ensign.
Mott said Unrivaled Belle could be turned back in distance and try sprint races to see if she could be a candidate for the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Churchill Downs in November
Mott recently welcomed back his graded stakes winning turf colt Courageous Cat to the barn. Courageous Cat, the runner-up in last year's Breeders' Cup Mile, got turned out after finishing ninth in the Dubai Duty Free in March. Mott said the horse "got a little jammed up" out of the Duty Free.
On Monday, Courageous Cat breezed three furlongs in 39 seconds over the Oklahoma training track. Mott said it was his second workout since returning to the barn.
"For a horse that's been turned out, he doesn't look like he's lost a lot of fitness," Mott said. "He looks good, his coat is good. We'd like to get a race into him before the Breeders' Cup and hopefully earn our way back into the Breeders' Cup."
Hold Me back headed west
Hold Me Back was nominated to the Whitney on Saturday at Saratoga, but trainer Bill Mott said he will keep Hold Me Back on synthetic surfaces and send him to Del Mar for the $1 million Pacific Classic on Aug. 28.
Hold Me Back is coming off a win in the Grade 3 Dominion Day at Woodbine on July 3, his first victory since capturing the Lane's End Stakes at Turfway in March of 2009. Woodbine and Turfway, like Del Mar, have Polytrack surfaces. Hold Me Back also finished second in last year's Travers to Summer Bird.
"He went to Canada and ran with the idea that Del Mar would be next," Mott said. "That was the plan, to head out there."
The Pacific Classic is shaping up as a wide-open race, in particular now that Rail Trip, heretofore the West Coast's most accomplished older horse, is here at Saratoga, preparing for the Woodward Stakes at the end of the meet.

The retail real estate sector in the UK's capital appears to be holding up well in the face of wider economic problems, the latest research from Knight Frank suggests...
The retail real estate sector in the UK's capital appears to be holding up well in the face of wider economic problems, the latest research from Knight Frank suggests. According to the firm, many of the city's key retail sites - such as Bond Street, Covent Garden and Regent Street - have seen rents increase this year. Darren Yates, partner in the company's research team, explained: "International retailers continue to drive demand in these major thoroughfares and, with limited space available, rents are still under upward pressure."Knight Frank also pointed out that the resilience of retail real estate in prime locations has attracted the interest of international investors, with numerous private individuals keen to acquire single properties in sought-after locations, while larger investors are aiming to consolidate their portfolios with such assets.Earlier this week, Mark Bottomley wrote in a piece for Global Property Guide that the new raft of quantitative easing announced by the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee this month could help support the UK's property market by boosting the amount of funding available for real estate investment.

Pasta with Homemade Alfredo Sauce
Do not forget to Just Finish Something Already so you can brag about it on Monday!
Only a few weeks left of this blog hop – so come on, you slackers!
And now on to our regularly scheduled post.
What I made for dinner the other night –
Pasta with homemade Alfredo Sauce. Or as we call it – Mac-o-Chee.
Alfredo sauce is actually not that hard to make. It only has a few ingredients and it's not THAT much more of an effort than the chemical-laden boxed stuff.
Alfredo Sauce
- Butter
- Flour
- Milk
- Parmesan Cheese, grated (not the stuff in the green can)
I find it helpful to get all the ingredients ready before I start making the sauce, because otherwise I am scrambling and the sauce is clumping and I am getting all agitated over a stupid sauce and then I feel like an idiot and then I am cranky.
In a medium saucepan, melt 2-ish tablespoons butter over medium heat. Then sprinkle an equal amount of flour over it and whisk it for a minute or two. Gradually pour 1 1/2 to 2 cups of milk into the pan, whisking continually like a madperson.
Whisk-whisk-whisk. This is the key. Do not think you can leave this unattended for a minute to yell "dinner will be ready in a minute! get off my back already!" listen to your little darlings conjugate their advanced Latin.
Or whatever the heck you do to Latin.
If you leave your husband in charge of the stirring, make sure he knows you don't mean stand there motionless and watch the game.
If you do leave your sauce unattended and whisk-less, nothing will look amiss on the surface, but when you begin to stir again you will see that all the flour has sunk to the bottom and turned into a gloppy, lumpy mess.
And you will be very sad indeed.
After a few minutes, your milk will come to a bubble and start to thicken. Do not let it boil, and do not let it get too thick – you still have to add the cheese. When you see it begin to thicken, turn off the heat and whisk in the cheese. Some recipes call for as little as 1/3 cup of cheese, but I am not That Kind Of Girl and put in more like 2/3 cup or maybe even a whole cup, depending on how much milk I put in and how thick I want it.
I don't measure anything when I make this – I probably grate 1/3 to 1/2 of one of those little triangles of parmesan you buy at the regular grocery store. One time I ran out of milk because SOMEONE had put the carton back in the fridge with only two ounces left and I had to use chicken broth for the rest of the liquid. It turned out fine.
Sometimes I don't have enough parmesan and have been known to tear up a couple of pieces of Velveeta into the sauce. Just don't use a stringy cheese like mozzarella or cheddar, or you will spend the next 30 minutes watching your kids make a gigantic mess all over your table and themselves and playing those annoying dinner table games.
Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Feel like a hero because I JUST MADE ALFREDO SAUCE, FAMILY!
Wait for family to applaud.
Wait a very long time.

Cute Baby Hats and FREE Patterns
Cute baby hats is the excuse I used to get you here. The little hats REALLY are adorable. A true work of art. But that's not the only reason I want your attention. Call it a bait and switch if you want. I won't get mad. I must introduce you to Pali , Vanessa and the gang from Knitting Rays of Hope. These lady's are loom knitting Superheroes of Love for cancer patients both young and old and they are the ones who have knitted these cute baby hats.
They started their adventure in the spring of 2012 and have done so much for, as they call them, the Warriors.
More Then Just Cute Baby Hats
After going through every post of their blog and seeing all the beautiful work these lady's have done I knew that I had to find a way to display their labor of love. I so wished that I had an art gallery in the middle of some mayor downtown district. No such luck, yet.
Anyway, this has to be about more than just Cute Baby Hats. This gallery needs to display the hats , the knitters and the recipients, A Love Gallery.
Well, it may not be brick and mortar, it's not some grand museum, but I have done the Gallery of Cute Baby Hats right here. In my virtual domain , a feast for your eyes and your heart. My hope is that I can introduce you to this group and that their art will inspire you to collaborate with Knitting Rays of Hope .
By the way, doesn't the little guy in this picture remind you of an Ashton-Drake doll? Just tooooo cute.

An Intermission: Remember – It's Not Just About the Hats
So much is being done by this group and their volunteers that they were nominated for an award by this beautiful lady, Laura.
They won the Liebster Award.
"The wonderful people who created this blog most likely do not have the time to follow these rules. Therefore, though it might be out of my hands to do so, my heart and God's had wrapped around my heart at this time give me permission to allow this site to accept this award from me without having to follow any of the rules. Keep doing what you do. You are number one to me hands down. I am blessed to have these hats you made for me and my children. These will forever and I do mean forever, be cherished and never viewed as anything less than three of the most precious objects we own. Much love to you. God Bless You and he has already. With all of my heart. Thank you. I hope you don't mind, but I want everyone to see just how special you and your blog really are, so I have posted below some words straight from your blog."

The First Aid Meet is an event that challenges Scouts abilities to perform first aid in simulated real-life situations. Boy Scout patrols compete in practical first aid problems, displaying hands-on skills from the Boy Scout Handbook, First Aid Merit Badge pamphlet and current American Red Cross guidelines.
The top three winning Boy Scout patrols at each district's first aid meet are eligible to compete in the council First Aid Meet.
Registration is completed by the troop leader online with credit card, electronic check or PayPal no later than February 5, 2018. There is no onsite registration. The registration fee is $25 per patrol.
Before registering have the name of the patrol(s) and patrol members.
Teams: Winning patrols representing the district must be from existing patrols. Venturers are currently not allowed to participate in the council meet. Only those patrol members who participated in the district meet with their winning patrol can participate in the council meet.
Scenarios: For each scenario, there will be five Scouts allowed in the contest grid. All other patrol members must "sit out." Each member should serve as a victim in at least one scenario. No books, electronic devices, cards or pamphlets are allowed. The final scenario will be a Mega Scenario, in which all five Scouts will have to actively participate.
Judging: The judging standard will be the current Boy Scout Handbook, First Aid Merit Badge pamphlet and current American Red Cross guidelines. Scouts will need to know how to perform CPR with respirations and compressions and how to use an AED.
Judges: Every patrol should provide at least one Scouter or Scout parent that can serve as a judge. While not mandatory for participation, this adult judge will ensure enough judges to assist with the meet and finish in a timely manner. Judges will be instructed in scoring procedures prior to the scenarios and will not judge their own district's team.
Equipment: Every patrol is expected to provide all equipment needed to demonstrate proficiency in first aid problems, including poles and blankets or other material for making an improvised stretcher; a troop/patrol size first aid kit with splints, bandages and sunscreen; rescue breathing apparatus/mannequin (a simple one as illustrated in the registration materials); sleeping bag; bottles of water for patrol members; patrol flag with stand and patrol sign (as shown in registration materials).
Medical Forms: Every participant needs to bring a copy of the BSA Annual Health and Medical Record (Parts A and B for all Scouting events).
Awards: Medals will be given to the top three teams (five per team). Every participant will receive a patch.
First Place - Zombies Patrol, Troop 577, David Crockett District
Second Place - Beaver Patrol, Troop 30, Skyline District
Third Place - Pioneer Patrol, Troop 30, Skyline District
Highest MEGA scenario score - Roaring Lions Patrol, Troop 1922, Flaming Arrow District

All through the long long day, we waited. And my stepdaughter labored. There was laughter, and movie quotes in the beginning. We watched "Horton hears a Who". I watched her husband holding her hand and watched as he kissed her cheek during the long and painful procedures. I worked hard to preserve her dignity as the day went on and on. Mainly because I would have wanted it that way, not necessarily because she was worried. I thought often of the long line of women stretching back into the past who had done the same thing, as my stepdaughter, but without the medical aid available to her. I'm not going to lie, I thought of the "Red Tent" and how wonderful that sisterhood was in times like this.
Her labor was so utterly physical that I wondered how I had ever done the same thing. I watched her eyes mostly. Alert to panic or worry. I watched the nurses' and doctors faces' listening to what they said and didn't say. I sat and watched as they were both able to take a nap, she and her husband, so glad that they were resting for the long night ahead. I watched her Dad quietly working away in the corner. There for his daughter but out-of-the-way for her privacy.
I rubbed lavender on her swollen hands and feet. I noticed as evening fell and lengthened how her exhaustion made everything worse. I could literally feel her doubt of being able to go on for much longer although she never once voiced it. I watched her being brave in the face of exhaustion and pain and how she smiled and said "Thank you" to every single wonderful staff member no matter how badly she felt or how sick. And then the doctor made a decision for C-section.
I watched and waved and smiled as they took her away. Keeping my tears away until she turned the corner. Her Dad and I sat in the waiting room and got the welcome news that we had a grandson. At four in the morning, our long day was over. But theirs have just begun.
I've told all of our children a hundred times "you will never know what this is like until you do it". This amazing and terrifying journey of parenthood cannot ever be known from the outside. The long days and nights are just beginning and dang it's a hard job. But a worthwhile one. And this little baby boy is here to remind us of so many things…my husband lost his Dad earlier this year and as the year wore down that loss is brightened by the birth of our grandson, our journey as parents ourselves are brought back around to us again with the blessing of revisions where needed and hard won lessons to pass on to the next generation. From now on our family will be reminded at Christmas all over again of the birth of a child. And it has occurred to me…no matter what religious beliefs you hold…that this story, this story of life, is one that should be repeated and held onto…because it's the only important thing really. Merry Christmas from our growing family to you and your family!

Madhu Raja and Jasjeet Babbar roped in for Ekta Kapoor's Kumkum Bhagya on Zee TVFollow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
The women-centric family of Ekta Kapoors new show Kumkum Bhagya for Zee TV gets two more prominent characters in the Dadi, and Beeji of the house.
The important character of Dadi will be played by Madhu Raja, famous theatre personality from Delhi. The lady also happens to be the mother of noted actress Tarana Raja. Madhu was earlier part of Balaji Telefilms Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, wherein she played the character of Krishnaji, the real mother of Ram Kapoor.
In Kumkum Bhagya, the lady will essay the role of Dadi to the two female protagonists.
Also, yet another talented theatre personality in Jasjeet Babbar, has been roped in to play the role of Beeji, who will be fondly called Amma by the two protagonists. Amma, will almost be a mother to the daughters of the house, and has been working with them ever since the girls were small. Jasjeet, who is related to known Bollywood personality Raj Babbar has earlier been part of Rajshri Productions Jhilmil Sitaaron Ka Aangan Hoga on Sahara One.
When contacted, Madhu Raja told us, Yes, I will play an integral part in Balajis new show. However, I am not supposed to talk about the show now, as it is too early. All I can say is that it will be a challenging character.
Our readers would know that us had earlier reported about Shabbir Ahluwalia roped in to play the male lead on the show. We had also exclusively reported about Supriya Shukla and talented theatre personality Faisal Rashid playing pivotal roles in the show.
Sriti Jha will play the elder daughter of the house, while the hunt for the younger sister is presently on.

WBC begins search for presidentThe presidential search process has begun at Williams Baptist College. Dr. Bob Magee, chair of the presidential search committee, says Williams is now accepting applications and nominations for the seventh president of the institution, which is transitioning to Williams Baptist University.
"We are currently not governed by a set timeline, that is, with a deadline to find a president," said Magee, who is professor of music and chair of the Department of Fine Arts at Williams. "We want to proceed with serious candidates and be divinely led until someone's name surfaces."
Farm Service recognizes SingletonLarry Singleton, retiring general manager of Farm Service, Inc., was honored Monday when Larry Jones, board chair, presented him with a crystal plaque on behalf of the board. The plaque states, "In appreciation and recognition of your dedication and strong leadership."
Singleton, a native of Marmaduke, has been with Farm Service since 1986. He replaced Robert P. Dixon, who was general manager at the time.
Larry and his wife, Brenda, and youngest son, Jonathan, lived in Walnut Ridge for many years. Jonathan graduated from WRHS in 2003 and lives in Mountain Home with his wife, Jordan.
Documentaries series receives recognitionTerrence Ward of Walnut Ridge, owner of T. Ward Media, is telling the story of veterans through his Arkansas Valor documentary series, which highlights the service of Arkansas veterans from past and current conflicts.
"The series gives unique perspectives from first-hand accounts of military service; first-hand accounts which you will not find in history books," Ward said.
One of those documentaries, "Arkansas Valor - Raymond Clark," was recently named as a selection for the 2018 Global Film Festival November honorees.

Stowers praised her deputy clerks, Candace Owen, who does payroll, Michelle Sheets, who is in charge of accounts payable, and Sarah Masterson, who keeps the voter registration up to date.

Transcript for Lewis River - Vancouver Lake Water Trail Video
[Narrator]: Clark County residents are fortunate to have a wide variety of trails and open space for outdoor recreational pursuits. Trails are not limited to just bike and hiking paths, but include water trails as well. These are navigable waterways which were identified during a County-wide inventory of all trails. With three sides of the County bordered by waterways and numerous streams coursing through the land, there are abundant opportunities to enjoy the County's water resources.
[Jean Akers, Planner at Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation]: They're already used by fisherman and by motorized boaters and drift boaters and a number of paddlers are already using it. But not as much as they should be or as much as they could be. And the one thing that's different about this type of trail is that you can float down on a trail and you will not have changed that trail. You're floating on the water, it's a sustainable form of recreational use…
[Narrator]: Thanks to a technical assistance grant by the National Park Service, the County, with the participation of numerous interested stakeholders, are planning a trail for a 32-mile stretch of water, that connects Lewis River, Lake River, Columbia River, and Vancouver Lake.
[Jean Akers, Planner at Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation]: Early in 2011, we started doing an inventory – Where are all of the access points? How many miles is this? Where can we get the mileage data? The river atlas? We got coast guard information, USGS information, reviewed it all with the stakeholders, tweaked it, revised it, and created these maps through our GIS system.
[Narrator]: To give a broader knowledge of this Water Trail, there's an overall map on the parks webpage that has been broken up into eight sections of four to five miles. The maps show the contours of the waterway, mileage, as well as access points for optional entry and exiting.
[Chris Hathaway, Deputy Director Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership]: So, it's a great resource, and it makes sense for my organization to tie in directly with the folks working on this Water Trail. It enhances people's understanding and love for the Lower Columbia River and for Lake River, by getting them out on it, experiencing it. Seeing an osprey dive or a beaver along the shore, that really helps people connect to the water and that helps them feel better about protecting it…
[Narrator]: To celebrate the Water Trail planning efforts, a big paddle event was held in Ridgefield on June 2nd, as part of National Trails Day. Participants included stakeholders, canoe and kayak enthusiasts, plus the general public. The two and a half mile course went down Lake River, past by the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, to the Columbia River.
[Jean Akers, Planner at Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation]: National Trails Day was a wonderful opportunity and it was the stakeholder's idea. They thought it would be great to get people out on the water. The best way to communicate the value of a water trail plan is to actually get people out on the water, to see it, to feel it. It was successful enough that a lot of our key stakeholders have now started planning for how they are going to do this again next year.
[Narrator]: Interest in paddling has grown. It is a recreational activity with low impacts to the environment as well as the body.
[Gail Alexander, Co-owner Ridgefield Kayak]: We like to say, "dip paddle and renew spirit." There's nothing better to take your body and your heart and soul and connect it to the great outdoors. It's relaxing, it's rejuvenating, it's spiritual, it's mindful. You're going to learn a lot about the local ecology, you're going to learn a lot about the historical, cultural history of the region.
[Narrator]: The Lewis River - Vancouver Lake Water Trail Plan should be finalized by the end of the year. It will formally designate the trail, identify access points, additional amenities, and improvements. Thanks to two local grants, a guidebook of the Water Trail will be published later in the year. It will contain maps, safety awareness and preparedness, as well as other pertinent information to ensure residents and visitors alike, have a safe and enjoyable experience on the Water Trail.
[Jean Akers, Planner at Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation]: Once this plan is done, which is over the next few months, that the Water Trail itself provides the venue for people to get together, to get outdoors and play, to enjoy a resource they already have. And hopefully, in the coming years, we can enhance that more and provide more access to more people.
[Narrator]: For more information on the Lewis River – Vancouver Lake Water Trail go to the park's website at vanclarkparks-rec.org or call, 487-8320.

Reading Challenge 2016
Favorite books
Recently added
7:00 pm 24 August 2014
Half of the fun in reading any book written by Zelazny is to figure out what is going on; I will try to avoid big spoilers, so please forgive me if you think the plot outline I give below is too sketchy. I have to walk a fine line between spoilers and plot details.
There is something called The Road which is - you guessed it - a road that can lead to any place, any time, and any reality. Do you want to visit ancient Babylon and see Hanging Gardens (I would love to, by the way)? Take the right exit from The Road. Do you want to see what would happen if Napoleon conquered the whole Europe? Find the right exit. Change something in the past and a new exit leading to the new reality appears.
Some people have the ability to find The Road, some stumble upon it by accident. The book consists of chapters named Two and One (confusingly it starts with Two and the second chapter is One). Chapters One are about a guy named Red Dorakeen who travels The Road in his pickup searching for something; he has no clue what the subject of his search is, but it keeps him restless.
Chapters Two tell about seemingly unrelated events told without regards to time when they happened. It kind of makes sense considering time is really relative on The Road. It all comes together by the end which really surprised me as I have not expected the book to end this way.
I have already said this countless times before, and I am going to say it again: I have not seen anybody working in fantasy or science fiction genres who comes close to Zelazny's level of imagination. Some writers are better world-builders, some are better storytellers, but in imagination department he has everybody beaten by a mile. This book is no exception. He manages to create a place I really want to visit. He also manages to invoke nostalgia for fifties in me, and I have not been even born then!
I see that the ratings of the good classic science fiction novels are much lower than modern weaker offerings of the genre for some mysterious reason. This novel can be argued belong to both fantasy and science fiction, by the way. As such it does suffer from an undeservedly low rating which in my opinion should be
4.5 stars
at least. As practically everything else written by Roger Zelazny is well worth reading.
