History Of Cades Cove
Cades Cove was once a remote place in the Great Smoky Mountains. One of the few ways through the Smokies and into the cove was along Indian trails. Some of those trails were improved into roads. One of those trails was called, appropriately enough, Cades Cove road. The name was later changed to Rich Mountain Road. By either name the road was one of the main routes through the Smokies between Tuckaleechee and Cades Cove.
Rich Mountain Road has a number of famous views of Cades Cove and today's Smoky Mountain visitors face the temptation to travel up Rich Mountain Road to see those views. Smokies tourists may use the road but shouldn't unless they don't mind leaving Cades Cove before finishing the auto tour most of which lay beyond the roads turn off. Rich Mountain Road is a one way dirt road which exits The Great Smoky Mountain National Park after twelve mountainous miles.
Cove roads which went to Maryville through the Smoky Mountains could be difficult to travel for the Cades Cove population and their teams of horses. You see the trip to town and back took three days, one to go, one to buy or sell goods, or perhaps visit and one to come home again.
Though Cades Cove was generally a self sustaining community, pioneers bought things from Maryville such as medicine and remedies such as camphorated oil, catnip tea, Castor oil, or Epsom salts. As time went by, general stores such as the Giles Gregory store sprang up in Cades Cove where medicine, seeds, sugar, kerosene, yard goods and hardware supplies. Products could be purchased with money or by trading products such as eggs. Still, the larger town of Maryville had a more appealing selection and so the trips from the Cades Cove continued. If on a trip to Maryville, the family was selling rather than buying, chances are they were selling chestnuts which grew in abundance in Cades Cove. Unfortunately disease eventually killed the majestic chestnut groves.
Cades Cove was once known as "Kate's Cove" after an Indian chief's wife. The Cove drew the Cherokee Nation back again and again by its abundant wildlife and good hunting. Later, Cades Cove's wildlife drew European descent frontiersmen to make it their home. They and their offspring cleared the fertile valley floor and built farms to sustain them. The pioneer's families lived in Cades Cove for many generations before the cove became part of The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Today, Cades Cove is still as full of wildlife as before but draws not hunters, but millions of Smokies visitors.
The Cove has been preserved by the Great Smoky Mountain National Park to look much the way it looked in the 1800's. Once home to a small mountain community, whose settlers came from mainly from Virginia, North Carolina and upper east Tennessee, Cades Cove is today the largest open air museum in the entire Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Cades Cove has original pioneer homesteads, barns, businesses, pasture and farmland--a fitting tribute to the hearty people who lived here in the days of yesteryear.
Cades Cove Loop
Most of the settler's homes and home sites will be outside of the road you as you travel the Cades Cove loop. To the center of the loop will be acre upon acre of grass and wildflower fields which were once cleared by frontiersmen for valuable for growing things such as wheat, corn and cattle. Nearly all the buildings built by the pioneers and preserved by the Great Smoky Mountain National Park are outside the Cades Cove Loop. These remaining original structures, as well as abundant wildlife, are easy to spot as you travel the loop.
Blacksmith Shop
Every farmer in the Smokies needed the talents of a blacksmith and so when James V. Cable, son of John P. Cable inherited the mill and farm from his father, he decided to also become a blacksmith. Perhaps he was inspired to do this because of the many people bringing grain and logs to be milled by means of wagons drawn by mules and horses. Once the products were milled, it was more convenient for his customers to also have their animals shod rather than traveling somewhere else.
To reset the shoes of Cades Cove's horses, the blacksmith had to nip the nail ends off and then pull the horses shoes off. Next he had to trim the hoofs down as they grow like fingernails. Last the blacksmith had to either reset the old shoe or make new shoes for the animal. This involved heating metal until it was white hot and shaping it into a shoe.
Aside from shoeing horses, the Smoky Mountain blacksmiths made all sorts of metal products for the home, farm and light industry. Other products made by blacksmiths might include plows, nails, adzes, axes, chains, hinges, bolts, hammers, hoes, bits, hooks, broadaxes, kitchen knives and drawknives. For these services, the blacksmiths of Cades Cove were certainly welcome and well respected for their skills.
Cades Cove Missionary Baptist Church
In Cades Cove as in the rest of the Smokies, Baptists were divided into camps of members who supported missionary work, temperance societies and Sunday schools and those that didn't. Some thought there was no Biblical support for those things. In the end, a number of Cades Cove Baptists were eventually dismissed from the original Baptist church for their beliefs including Johnson Adams who was pastor. On May 15, 1841, Adams and other disenfranchised Smokies pioneers finally banded together and established the Cades Cove Missionary Baptist Church.
The start was rocky. They had no meeting house and had to meet in individual homes. Sometimes they made arrangements to meet at the Primitive Baptist or Methodist church buildings. Also, in the Smokies there was much confusion over the Civil War. During the Civil War and reconstruction, the Missionary Baptists didn't meet for long periods of time. After the war however, they had a particularly successful revival and were able to erect their own church building in the Cades Cove area of the Smoky Mountains. Their church was constructed on Hyatt Hill in 1894, with their rolls bulging with 40 members. Eventually the rolls grew to over one hundred. In 1915, a new building was needed and was created in the present location.
Biking Cades Cove
The 11-mile one way road is a popular biking area. It provides bicyclists with excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and touring 19th century home sites. During summer and fall, bicycles may be rented at the Cades Cove Campground Store (located near Cades Cove Campground). For information call (865) 448-9034.
Hiking, Camping and Picnicking in Cades Cove
There are many hiking trails in Cades Cove, from the five-mile roundtrip trail to Abrams Falls and the shorter Cades Cove Nature Trail. to longer hikes like Thunderhead Mountain and Rocky Top. Picnic areas are also located along many of the trails in the Great Smoky Mountains. Cades Cove picnic area is open year round and there are over 80 sites for your picnic. Don't forget to clean the tables, grill and ground thoroughly after your meal to help keep the wildlife safe. There are also many backcountry camping sites along these trails, but a permit is needed to make use of them. For more information you can visit the National Park Service's Cades Cove web page.
There is also a 159 site campground that can accommodate tents and RV's up to 35 feet.. Another option is the Anthony Creek Horse Camp. The horse back riding makes access to the backcountry much easier and enjoyable. For more information about camping and horse back riding in Cades Cove, call (877) 444-6777.
Horseback Riding in Cades Cove
The Cades Cove Riding Stables offer guided horseback tours on scenic park trails from the middle of the month of March until November. Most rides last from the shorter 45 minute trail ride to several hours and all rides are taken at a walking pace. Rates for these guided horseback tours are between 20 and 25 dollars and reservations can be made by calling (865) 448-9009.

The going rate for these hayrides is $6.00 per person and reservations are usually needed in advance. You can reserve your spot by calling Cades Cove Riding Stables at (865) 448-9009.
Wildlife Viewing in Cades Cove
Some parts of The Great Smoky Mountains are covered with thick brush and dense forest and are not suitable for wildlife viewing. However, open areas like Cades Cove offer oppurtunistic conditions to view Smokies wildlife. Many common animals seen around the Cades Cove area include white-tailed deer, black bear, raccoon, turkey, and woodchucks. A good rule to follow when viewing the wildlife of the Smoky Mountains is that if an animal changes its behavior, you are too close and it is a good idea to back up a large distance until the animal resumes their natural activities. Feel free to take as many pictures as you like to keep as reminders, but Federal Regulations state that "Willfully approaching within 50 yards (150 feet), or any distance that disturbs or displaces bear or elk is prohibited." also, " feeding, touching, teasing, frightening, or intentionally disturbing wildlife is prohibited." Don't forget that even though they may sometimes look docile, these are still wild animals, and interacting with them can cause safety concerns for both you and them. Feeding of a wild animal almost always results in its demise, so please don't feed the bears or other wild animals while nature viewing in the park.
Cades Cove Visitor Center
The Cades Cove Visitor Center is an excellent palce to learn about the histroy of Cades Cove. Located near the mid point of the eleven mile Cades Cove loop, the visitor center is open 364 days a year, only closing on Christmas Day. There are many indoor and outdoor exhibits that showcase the Southern mountian life style. Included in these exhibits are an operating grist mill and the Becky Cable House. There are also seasonal ranger-led activities that anyone can bea part of, and a book store and shop.
Where is Cades Cove?
The best way to reach the 11-mile Cades Cove Loop is from Laurel Creek Roach. You can also reach it from Parson Branch Road or Rich Mountain Road, but they are usually closed in the winter. It will take about two to four hours to complete a tour around the Cove's one-lane road, but the scenery is worth a leisurely pace with frequent stops.
Shuttle Tours in Cades Cove
Cades Cove Heritage Tours has started the first-ever guided educational shuttle service through Cades Cove. To improve traffic condition and air quality, the public will now be able to get a guided shuttle tour through the 11-mile loop.
Visitors who take a tour with us will not only learn about the rich mountain history and unique natural resources of Cades Cove but will also feel good about how their choice affects the environment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Alex Roche, Cades Cove Heritage Tours

What better way to honor Bill Cunningham, the original street-style photographer and fellow New Yorker, than to offer one of our loyal fans the chance to get their "street-style" on?
Beginning Thursday March 24th, 2011 we'll be offering one lucky Botkier fan the chance to win a Spring 2011 Botkier bag and to be featured in a street style shoot by Monica Botkier.
Also one lucky winner will win two tickets to see "Bill Cunningham New York" at the Film Forum here in New York City, to be announced Saturday, March 26th, 2011.
We love seeing Botkier street style and we're constantly inspired by some of our favorite bloggers, as seen above (Aimee Song and Carolina Engeman).
Essentially, that's how Botkier began – a girl, with her camera, and a bag.
Become a fan on Facebook, follow us on Twitter or visit our Nolita Boutique to enter – the winner will be chosen on Friday, April 1st, 2011.
About the film:
"We all get dressed for Bill," says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.
The "Bill" in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns "On the Street" and "Evening Hours." Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham's enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.

As for the "talk to your kids" part, you can start here.
H/T Liss.
I agree with you — even if there's a commercial element behind the whole ad, screw that, the message that it conveys is important.
Hot Damn, I love that commercial!!!!
Oh my goodness… that one made me tear up at work.
this one really spoke to what i see my Junior Girl Scouts experiencing. If you aren't aware Juniors are 4th-6th graders. They talk about being too fat, and dieting and being ugly. They 9-11/12, they're smart, gorgeous, funny and caring girls and our society has told them that those are the things that matter. It breaks my heart and makes me hope we can counteract at least a little of it in our troop.
Morte, that is so sad! My Brownies (7-8) aren't there yet, but I'm sure if I keep doing this for another 10 years or so, I'll start seeing it… they seem to get them younger and younger.
Becky, it's gotten worse as most of them hit 5th grade last year, they have in my opinion so little childhood compared to what i had just 20 years ago and the things they're exposed to and talk about often shock me, but when i heard them talking amongst themselves one day about being "ugly " and "fat" i was devastated.
I saw this at feministing.com this morning. I agree that ads like this are important. It's important to remind parents they HAVE to teach their children to view advertising with a critical eye. Parents don't do it enough. I read websites like this, feministing, and many others linked from this page in the hopes of educating myself enough to be able to address these sorts of issues with my children when I have them.
Non-profits or organizations that address eating disorders should look at this step taken by Dove and move in that direction. Or how about those "More You Know" people? They should be running ads like this too. It's important to me that parents begin to realize that it's more damaging to a child to set an ideal that can never be reached and continue to teach them that that ideal is the only thing they'll ever be accepted for, rather than fear they'll be ostracized because they have fat thighs.
On a side note, I can't recall where I read this, it might have been here, but a woman was talking about body acceptance and how important it is to portray that to your children. I took this advice to heart and thank that person greatly. I never realized how hating myself later in life will reflect on my daughter's image of herself. So thanks, whoever you were.
Sorry blabbering on here. I really appreciate sites like this. Issues addressed here aren't really discussed between my friends and family.
Ooh, I just remembered… Girl Scouts and Dove have partnered to create a Real Beauty campaign for Girl Scouts, called Uniquely Me. I think my Brownies are too young, but it's something you can consider doing with your Juniour Scouts, Morte.
Thanks Becky! I knew about the program but I had forgotten about it. We were so busy working on our Bronze Award last year!
Cool! I've never used their celluite cream or anyone elses, but I'm a big fan of their shampoo and conditioner.
Wow. Just…. wow.
I have a 10-year old daughter. I've been warning her of the tricks the media will try to pull since she was old enough to talk coherently – about toys (they're never as cool as commercials make them look), about food (you will not travel to a magical fun land if you eat that cereal), about everything. We now have a fun hobby of deconstraucting commercials while we watch TV. Man you ought to hear some of the stuff that comes out of her mouth when a Victoria's Secret or "male enhancement" commercial comes on! She's not buyin' it.
I'm proud to say that my 10-year-old child is a better critical thinker than some women 2-3-4 times her age in this regard. She is scornful of "diets," is appalled by the notion of having surgery just to look thinner or have bigger boobs, and is absolutely not interested in being a "commercial girl." Her words. She wants to be like the people on Animal Planet or Discovery Health – not like on E! or VH1.
We've had the talk about whether she or any of her friends think they're fat (they're not – they're developing, though). She says, "I wondered about my stomach sticking out when I was little, but nah, I'm not fat. I'm just right. M. and K. and C. think they're fat, but it just looks like they have puberty before me." Yes, a direct quote. I'm very proud. I just hope my daughter can peer-pressure her friends away from typical girl/tween/teen burgeoning body hatred.
That video gave me vertigo!
Well, I do buy their stuff and I do appreciate ads like this and the aging ad campaign they have going, too.
But let's not get too misty-eyed here. They're owned by Unilever. Unilever owns, among many other brands, Slim-Fast.
So, you know, grain of salt.
You know, when you have a baby in the hospital, its closed-circuit tv station on the tv in your room plays all kinds of segments for new mothers. One of them is all about how to get your body back so you will be nice and thin again. :rolleyes:
It starts even earlier than Dove can admit.
It strikes me as hypocritical. The ad never said the media stream was WRONG. They think it's something you have to learn to live with by attempting to control its influence.
Like the hospital TV thing….
My OB/Midwife practice recently moved the midwives to an office on the other side of town.
The stated reason was that they wanted to have a presence closer to the hospital. Of course, now your average OB patient doesn't even have to be exposed to the existence of the midwives. And more infuriating, they rented the office space left empty by their departure to….
A plastic surgery practice. So now when hormonal women walk through the door, the first thing they see is a big "informational brochures" rack, telling them that they're too old, too wrinkly, and the baby that they're carrying is destroying their bodies, making their breasts sag, giving them stretch marks.
And it feels like this is being *recommended* by the OB practice.
Not sure I'm going back.
Kate, her name wasn't Miss Swan, was it?
I love the Dove campaign, and I don't really care that they're selling something. Girls need to see something that isn't designed to crush their self-esteem. I remember when the ad series first started, I read an article about it, and the author claimed that while Dove was doing well now, they'd soon drop the idea, because it would label them as "fat girl products" and that would render them untouchable by the pretty people o__O
Sorry Kate, gotta disagree with you.
Irony is dead if that makes up for cellulite cream and SOFTER ARMPITS (their deodorant ads promise silky smooth armpits in a week!). They are perpetrating what they are implying they find harmful. I liken it to Phillip Morris et al making "Kids, don't smoke" PSAs.
they're my kind of hypocrites
Yeah. Although I can certainly see why people would find it highly suspicious that it's a company whose parent owns Slim-Fast would run an ad like this, you gotta start somewhere. Millions of girls will see this ad and it will at least provide a "daughterboard" that will question the programming.
I liken it to the Brooklyn Dodgers signing Jackie Robinson to break baseball's color bar (which was a "handshake" agreement amongst MLB teams not to sign nonwhite players that had been in effect for over 40 years) back in the 1940s. Branch Rickey, the Dodgers' GM, didn't sign Robinson because he was such a great civil rights crusader or even because he respected Robinson as a player; he did it because he thought Robinson's presence would help fill his ballpark's empty seats, and he was right. They exploited him out of sheer greed. But the fallout was that ALL professional sports got integrated. Sometimes the "why" matters less than the "what."
There's a magazine over here in the UK, (or used to be at any rate), called The Ethical Consumer which susses out which evil corporations are subsidiary organisations of even bigger and more evil corporations to the point where you couldn't even buy a bottle of milk for fear of being idealogically guilt-tripped because somebody vaguely related to the company that made the milk bottle tops is ZOMG supplying the Third World with nuclear arms!!!!
As far as I'm concerned this film fucking rocks. I really don't care if Dove's parent company make Slimfast. I'm also willing to bet pretty much every other company that makes shampoos, soap and deodorant is, somewhere along the line, involved in the manufacture of something I don't believe in or approve of.
Oh…and Kate?
"Your mouth too big. I give you smack in big mouth you mention thigh again."
(um – by which I mean that's what you should've said to your presumptuous manicurist).
Laurie: The song is "La Breeze" by Simian.
Another article on kids and size acceptance
I adore Dove. As far as this particular commercial is concerned, I think people expect too much from a beauty company on some level. Advertising is advertising and, at the end of the day, Dove is there to sell a product. If Dove's message is "we are the company telling you to accept yourself as you are and our products will help you to showcase the parts of you that are already beautiful," then that's a message I can stand behind. It's better than the alternative.
On an unrelated note, Dove is one of the only drugstore brands (i.e. cheap brands) to clearly list the 8 major allergens in its products and to monitor its product sourcing. For celiacs and people with major food allergies, Dove makes it possible to take a shower without worrying about keeping your mouth shut for the entire thing or having an unexpected reaction afterward. For this alone? Dove has my consumer loyalty.
I honestly, truly did not read this post until after I made the comment on the Duh Truck Post…. I swear!
But I have bookmarked both of the articles… because it is not just little girls that need to be encouraged to overcome societal body image pressures. I just wish (sigh) I had realized it before this last year.
I am thankful that I have time to make it right.
Wow, no subtitles. I suppose Dove doesn't think that the hearing impaired need to feel good about themselves. Typical.
Forget the Axe and the cellulite creams, look at their marketing of their skin lightening products. "Fair & Lovely", for one, and the Pond's range, actually branded "White Beauty".
from the unilever Indonesia page:
Our campaign message is "Dengan Pond's, Putih dan Bersinar itu Mudah", which conveys dual benefit: both physical and emotional as we emphasize that fairer skin gives you more chances to shine in life.
Unilever aren't your kind of anything. If you want to support less evil businesses, ditch most of the unnecessary crap, and find a local woman-owned handmade products business. What you save on lotion you can spend on soap, and you'll probably still come out ahead.
And Dove may declare some allergens, but they're still mislabelling their detergent bars as non-scented when they contain masking fragrance, so no points from me there either. (Which may well account for the hideous itching welts I got when I tried it, twice.)
I would be more impressed if they'd use actual ugly girls. This one looks like a porcelain doll.
Kate, I hear what you are saying, but I guess philosophically we are just not coming from the same place.
I love the IDEA of that video, but in reality the video was just noise to me. It didn't speak to me at all! Not as a woman and not as a woman of color, and not as a fat woman. What I saw was an ad for Dove products. I guess that's what keeps me firmly in the camp of "it's an ad".
Had I saw it without the commercial message (anything containing "Dove" self-esteem or not is an ad), I would have been slightly more approving, yes, but probably no more moved.
I'm kind of surprised by the level of positive comment about this – but I'm a crazy radical. I have to agree with Lauredhel that Unilever's global position should be considered. My guess is that my tolerance for this is lower because I don't read fashion magazines or watch much TV, so it looks more like an ad to me (I mean, I purposely avoid advertising because I find it so unpleasant, so when I see it it sticks out).
Lastly, as a parent, what is the ad really saying to me? I talk to my kids (both boys) about the fashion industry and standards already, but if I didn't, what would this ad be telling me to say?
I've always had mixed reactions to Dove commercials. Yes Dove, show us how manipulated our beliefs about ideal womanhood have become, but if you want to inspire critical thinking, then don't continue to be a part of that manipulation by showing me your lovely 'natural' women who have been covered from head to toe in body makeup, standing under fantastic lighting and who had their hair and makeup done nicely – aren't all the bells and whistles still a manipulation? But then I ask myself, would I dismiss the ads as crap if all of that styling wasn't done? How deep has the crap sunk in??
And I'm not looking to comment on the Unilever connection – I'm more concerned by the fact that the Dove Self-Esteem Fund monies come not from the corporate profits per se, but as a donation-per-purchase of Dove products. They may pay for the ads, but don't kid yourselves that they are paying for the self-esteem fund. So keep buying those creams because you'll be spiting your face if you don't.
Um, maybe that last sentence was a bit of a reach…
Oh gawd – that was meant to be spiteing. Bit less phlegmy that way.
RE that manicurist, and the Indonesian ads:
We in the west have nothing like the pressure to look 'right' that abounds in Asia. The Japanese have a CANDY that is supposed to grow you bigger breasts, (and because of a 'traditional-culture' ethnic minority, their age of consent is TWELVE), and skin lightening is their single biggest beauty categorie.
I once had a ten year old Korean girl say to me,
"I like Britney Spears, she a-chubby like me". This was back in the days of Britney's 'unreasonable expectation for tween girls' size, and she still wasn't thin enough for Asia. Imagine a 'python' Britney as the most size-positive image you ever saw.
It scares me to say this, but we might have it easy.
I'm just going to give a plug for my favourite lotions + potions company, Paula's Choice. I swear they don't know me from Eve, I just love the stuff. No fragrances, no colours, no irritating ingredients at all, salicylate-free stuff for those with fibro, minimal plain recyclable packaging, and, gosh, only has ingredients that are actually proven to do what they say they will, which is pretty much: makes your skin feel and look nice, and protect it from the sun. Woman-owned and I think most of the employees are women too. Haven't seen any stupid advertising from them, either.
Holls, I'm inclined to agree with you based on my experiences with women from the Phillipines. One coworker looked at me in my new scrubs and said, "Nice scrub shirt, but your butt way too big for it. And this tummy! Are you pregnant? You don't fit this shirt. You give it to me." I had the presence of mind–maybe it was the exceptionally strong coffee, or the cheer I had from having new clothes–to say, "It's mine, and you can't have it. And in this country you don't make mean comments about peoples' bodies." She was completely confused and, actually, I realized that she had a right to be. Her comments, in her mind, were not mean but the truth. Yes, I have a big ass, and a big belly. We talked a little more and I came to understand that there is a HUGE (no pun intended) taboo against adiposity in Southeast Asia, and that her comments were "normal" in the course of speaking with other women. So, yeah, I think we have it EASIER.
I side with those who find this at least refreshing to watch, even if it isn't quite a feminist/fat-friendly masterpiece. It's a hell of a lot more positive than 98% of the other fat- and ugly-phobic hysteria that passes for TV entertainment and advertising.
oof- I just got round to watching this and it left me very jittery. I love its message, and i love its presentation. 'Onslaught' is exactly the right word for that film.
on to the whole 'But Dove is evil too!' argument – I take the stand that while they may be owned by the same company as slimfast, someone, somewhere in that advertising campaign CARES. Look at the self-esteem website, look at all of the information they have on there, someone has put their heart into this and its not just for the brand. It goes beyond selling the products, and for whatever reason Dove likes this angle (what else is left to be innovative with in advertising other than to go against the trend?), the people they employed to do this know their stuff and are genuine.
Other than that, I buy products that are a good balance between price and suitability for my skin. Dove falls into that category more than most.
It's not easy to make ethical consumer choices…
The first thing I look for in hygiene products is that they shouldn't be tested on animals, so I used to buy from Body Shop. But then I heard that Body Shop had been bought years ago by L'Oreal, which is owned by Nestlé, which uses very unethical marketing practices for getting mothers in the third world to use their formula products instead of breastfeeding. So I quit Body Shop, because I didn't want to contribute to children being malnourished just to avoid contribute to animals being experimented on. Now I buy mostly from a Swedish brand which claim they don't test on animals, but they have less to choose from.
I also liked the message of the commercial video as a separate thing, even if the corporation is doing all kinds of unethical things – it reminds me of McDonald's giving money to hospitals with sick children or whatever it was, it's still a good thing for those children, even if we have to remember they're doing it just to get good publicity and draw attention away from other things they do, and still criticize them when they cut down rainforest or treat their employees badly. It's not an excuse for the destructive things the same corporation does, but that commercial is still better than most others.

Air Force picked third, CSU fifth in preseason MW media poll
In a season Colorado State hopes is a breakthrough campaign, league media remain a bit skeptical of how good the Rams can be. The media picked CSU to finish fifth in a new-look Mountain West conference that is in the first of a two-year transition.
The MWC, which adds Nevada, Fresno State and Hawaii next season, is an eight-team league this year with the departures of Utah to the Pac-12 and BYU, which went independent. CSU is looking to bounce back from a 3-9 finish last season, with just two victories in conference play. Newcomer Boise State, which visits Fort Collins on Oct. 15 to face the Rams, was named preseason favorite to win the MWC title.

George Drazic necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 81 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
Develop eye catching logo using the name "Efficient Air Conditioning" with ENVIRONMENTAL / ENERGY EFFICIENCY slant and comlimentary tag line. Logo will go on website, banners, company trucks and vans, promotional items, etc. Company is 33 years old in the local area, and has been operating under RM Mechanical (http://www.rmmechanical.com). RM Mechanical is recognized in the trade and for commercial projects. Desire is for the new name to reach more of the consumer/service market.
Efficient Air Conditioning (see http://www.rmmechanical.com)
Develop a company logo using "Efficient Air Conditioning", the incoprorated name of the Austin Texas business serving the local area with air conditioning, heating, refrigeration and solar solutions. Would like eye catching design from an energy/environment perspective. Perhaps bright green letters with the "i"'s dotted with blue snowflakes (cooling) and maybe a flame (heat). Perhaps some kind of energy/efficiency themed background (globe? symbol not trademarked? etc). For later, tag line suggestions to go with it - efficiently cool, environmentally conscious, OR energy efficient comfort. Also the company phone is 512-928-COOL and 512-928-2470. 928-COOL number will likely be on most advertising so customers can call.
- Efficient Air Conditioning for logo (company name)
- May need upper and lower case letters to be able to dot the "i's" - if snowflake/flame idea works, may be better idea
- Green color/theme / energy to play on company focus
- Maybe some catchy look or simple icon/symbol/mascot
- Simplicity - easy to read on vehicles and banners
- Keep in mind that old name RM Mechanical will need to be around for a while to preserve continuity, then maybe fade away (or not?)
- Not too busy
- Limit colors (green, blue, maybe one/two more) - vans and trucks are all factory painted white

Deep Fried Chicago: Christkindlmarket Chicago
I'm convinced that there isn't a good time to go to the Christkindlmarket (aka, Kringle Market). The candy-caned roofed and ski lodge-esqe hutches and the cute, kitschy tchotchkes sold from within are all but obscured by the ever present throngs of people trudging through the dystopian winter wonderland. I'd refer to the whole affair as a Kluster Something-or-Other, but a fear of coal lined stockings has me keeping my mouth shut.
And yet, on a recent trip to the center that gives Daley Plaza its name, I couldn't help but notice (and smell) a number of fried options available for the punishment gluttons that have decided to conduct their Christmas shopping in an outdoor market in December. Which is why I dutifully joined their ranks and scoured the Kringle Market stand by stand for the best fried food on offer.
The Potato Pancakes ($6.50 with sauerkraut) from the aptly named Pancake House may not technically be deep fried, but from on the amount of oil slicking their flattop cook surface, they might as well be. The slightly crisp exterior houses an almost emulsified center, resulting in a homogenous texture you'd never find in a proper lattke. Combining them with the caraway seed specked sauerkraut and fine grained German mustard helped things along considerably, though.
Home to a ground pork "Germanburger" and a number of other sandwiches, Schnitzel House has at least three locations in the market. The Wiener Schnitzel Sandwich ($7.50) from the menu board picture looks like it should be fried to order and wonderful, though what I actually ended up with was pre-fried and from a chafing-dish. The raw sliced onion and German mustard dressed sandwich was somewhere between a cold Chick-fil-A sandwich and a McRib in texture and presentation. A bite in, I ditched the condiment-less bottom bun and folded the sandwich into itself, which was an improvement.
Also from Schnitzel House were some of the more solid from-frozen French Fries (3.00) that I've had in recent memory. Think Wendy's original fries straight from the fryer. Cooked to a perfect golden brown and delicious and generously salted, these made up for the stand's mediocre namesake.
For dessert, I headed to German Grill for an order of "snow balls" ($4.50), which the sign's parenthetical explains are "German Fried Donuts." The misshapen lumps are comfortingly tender under their crackly fried exterior, but the batter is hardly sweet enough to cut through the fry oil taste. If you eat only the powered-sugared parts, though, you'll be happy enough. Dipping them in a piping hot cup of diluted Swiss Miss didn't help matters (it washed off the aforementioned sugar), so your fried dough and hot chocolate empire is safe for now, Bayless.
All in all, the Kringle Market is worth the crowds and the cold once a year, if only for the enticing sights and smells and the kickstart it gives to the impending Christmas spirit. Next time, though, I'm pairing my French fries with one of those double dog looking bratwursts topped with mustard and sauerkraut.

Barbara Bush's NYC Apartment + Her Artist Boyfriend (He's Good!)
Obviously my blog has nothing to do with politics (unless it's related to Scandal or House of Cards, of course) but when I saw the cute NYC apartment of Barbara Bush via Vogue.com I wanted to share. To me her place feels like a great example of a personal home. The items in her space all seem to have a story behind them- from a blanket found with her mom on an antiquing trip to a painting done of her cat by her former president father (which is kinda cute, right?) to African masks from her work on that continent. This is a wonderful example of a space reflecting your life story, and the best bonus? She shares this townhouse with two other friends, each with their very own take on personal decor- check out all three apartments in the article!
I am loving this giant cactus! It's like a piece of sculpture and also reminds her of her home state of Texas.
I die over that mantle, original to the apartment. Also, let's talk about how the grey violet wall color is kind of perfect for a modern yet feminine backdrop- for this look try Farrow & Ball's Callaluna or Brassica! The cross was bought on a trip to Peru and the photographs are of her favorite artists bought in New Orleans.
The skull on the mantle was picked up in Austin, Texas and the portrait behind is of her cat Eleanor done by the former president. This unique armoire is topped with African masks from her travels in Africa working for her organization Global Health Corps.
Barbara picked up this suzani blanket on a shopping trip with her mother Laura.
This table was the kitchen table that Barbara grew up eating dinners on. I love that it's beaten up with so many memories! And I really love how she paired it with that mirror and so many personal pictures. Perfection is not important, personality is!!!
I loved the painting above the mantle in this picture and turns out the artist is Barbara's boyfriend Miky Fabrega, a Panamanian artist and entrepreneur.
Here are a few more examples of his work- I especially love the pale ones and the coral one!
What about your home? Are some of your favorite touches those items that also carry a story with them? I know mine are- from the vintage buffet I snagged for $75 at an estate sale to a couple paintings I've done myself over the years. I want to make a point to buy more home items when I travel to add to my personal collection!
