But pretty soon we also discover that logic has limitations. We go to bed at night with good numbers and wake with high numbers. But we didn't eat in our sleep. Or we make the mistake of thinking 'food = spike, fasting = no spike' and find that after eating nothing for six hours we might be normal or even high when we expected to be low.
It doesn't seem to make sense, does it? "I Ate Nothing! Why Are My BGs high?".
I am no expert on this, but I am pretty good at looking things up and then testing the things I read against my own results. My body, my science experiment. So I checked this out a long time back when I first came across the term "liver dump". Here is my rough version, based on the best explanation I've seen (or that I could understand at my level:-) . This is the medical-speak version:
"Stores of readily available glucose to supply the tissues with an oxidizable energy source are found principally in the liver, as glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose residues linked by a-(1,4)- and a-(1,6)-glycosidic bonds. A second major source of stored glucose is the glycogen of skeletal muscle. However, muscle glycogen is not generally available to other tissues, because muscle lacks the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase.
The major site of daily glucose consumption (75%) is the brain via aerobic pathways. Most of the remainder of is utilized by erythrocytes, skeletal muscle, and heart muscle. The body obtains glucose either directly from the diet or from amino acids and lactate via gluconeogenesis. Glucose obtained from these two primary sources either remains soluble in the body fluids or is stored in a polymeric form, glycogen. Glycogen is considered the principal storage form of glucose and is found mainly in liver and muscle, with kidney and intestines adding minor storage sites. With up to 10% of its weight as glycogen, the liver has the highest specific content of any body tissue. Muscle has a much lower amount of glycogen per unit mass of tissue, but since the total mass of muscle is so much greater than that of liver, total glycogen stored in muscle is about twice that of liver. Stores of glycogen in the liver are considered the main buffer of blood glucose levels."
For the really detailed version click on the links.
Below I put that in words that I understand. I am no biochemist, so if any experts are reading this please correct any errors I make or omissions from over-simplification.
Liver Dumps.
We need glucose for energy. When we eat a meal it is usually a mix of carbohydrates, protein and fats. Carbohydrates are an easily converted source which quickly appear as glucose in our blood. We also, more slowly, obtain glucose by gluconeogenesis from protein or even fats and also from the stored energy in our liver and other organs.
When we create more glucose than our immediate needs some is stored. Some is stored as fat, especially if we have excess insulin floating around, and some is converted to glycogen. Glycogen is stored mainly in the liver and the muscles. The muscles are selfish because the glycogen stored in the muscles can usually only be used for the muscles, but the glycogen stored in the liver is our supply for any glucose needed by the rest of the body. When the body needs it the right amount is automatically released to the right places. As a result there is always a steady flow of energy to meet a person's needs, regulated to demand, regardless of when or what they eat.
At least, that is how it works in non-diabetics. It is the body's version of a fuel tank. Unfortunately, for type 2s, the system can be flawed. Type 2s on the internet use the term "liver dump" for the release of excessive glycogen fr0m the liver to become blood glucose at times when it wasn't really needed or wanted.
For example, one cause of the Dawn Phenomenon is thought to be the body sensing our need for energy when we are about to wake, leading to excessive glycogen release until we eat and send the signal to stop the release. That's why a breakfast soon after we wake is an essential meal for many of us. Similarly, fasting, exercise or heavy physical activity can lead to a liver dump if the body senses the reduction in blood glucose levels and over-compensates with excessive glycogen release.
Preventing liver dumps is complex and I know no general solution. For dawn phenomenon the most common treatment is to eat a late night snack; but the reports of successful snacks vary widely so it's best to perform your own experiments until, hopefully, you find the one that works for you. A minority never does, and others find that the only solution for them is basal insulin.
For those who experience liver dumps after fasting the solution is easy. Don't fast for long periods. Eat something every few hours, even if it is only a small snack.
For those who get them during or after exercise, I have seen reports of success from people who spread small carby snacks across the period of exercise, including a snack before starting.
Sorry I can't be more specific with answers on this one, just suggestions. Once again it's your body, your science experiment
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Hawaii residents awoke to sun this weekend after more than 40 days of downpours that left a wake of havoc across the islands and broke records for rain at the wettest place on Earth.
HONOLULU Hawaii residents awoke to sun this weekend after more than 40 days of downpours that left a wake of havoc across the islands and broke records for rain at the wettest place on Earth.
Nearly 92 inches -- or about 7 1/2 feet -- of rain were recorded during March at Mount Waialeale, considered the rainiest spot on the planet. The previous record was about 90 inches in April 1971, according to the National Weather Service.
Even the normally dry Honolulu Airport received more rain in the first three months of 2006 than in all of 2005.
The near biblical downfall left the islands disheveled with debris, flooded homes, and led to a sewage spill in the water off Waikiki.
The largest toll was taken on Kauai, where seven died when a century-old earthen dam strained by the heavy rains burst March 14 sending a wall of water crashing through homes to the sea.
Last week, a sewer line broke when it was overwhelmed by heavy rain and sent some 48 million gallons of raw sewage into the ocean.
But the beaches of Waikiki were open again Saturday, with only a hint of suntan lotion lingering in the air and crowds back on the sand -- though fewer than usual in the water.
Sitting on towels with three friends at Waikiki, Susan Orr, of Colby, Kan., said she came to Hawaii in honor of her 50th birthday. It was the last day of their vacation, and the first decent day of sun.
"Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose," she said.
Honolulu was still cleaning up after a massive downpour Friday that sent mud sliding down hills and turned streets into gushing rapids of brown churning water.
Along with flooding homes, the rain sent merchandise floating at Kahala Mall, where waters rushed into a movie theater and inundated 90 shops with more than a foot of water.
Larry Leopardi, division chief of road maintenance for Honolulu, said the spate of rain that began on Feb. 19 has been like living in a hurricane.
"It's one of those storms that keeps giving," said Leopardi, whose crew have been working around the clock seven days a week.

Gomez's catch preserves Brewers' 4-3 win over Reds
Bailey suffers loss in first outing since his no-hitter
Carlos Gomez robbed Joey Votto of a potential go-ahead homer with a spectacular catch in center field in the ninth inning, saving the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.
Jonathan Lucroy homered for the third consecutive game for last-place Milwaukee, which had dropped three of four. Jean Segura had three hits off Homer Bailey in the right-hander's first start since his second career no-hitter.
But Gomez made the biggest play of the game when he made a perfectly timed jump to grab Votto's drive to center for the final out of the game, sending a charge through the crowd on an otherwise sleepy night at Miller Park.
Kyle Lohse (5-6) pitched into the seventh inning for his fourth consecutive winning decision.
Bailey was coming off an absolute gem at home against San Francisco last Tuesday night, when he struck out nine and allowed just one baserunner on a seventh-inning walk. The impressive performance in the Reds' 3-0 victory gave Bailey a chance to become the second pitcher in major league history to throw consecutive no-hitters.
That opening was slammed shut in the first inning.
Segura dumped a 1-2 pitch into right field for a base hit with one out. He then stole second and went to third on a throwing error by catcher Devin Mesoraco before Lucroy hit his 11th homer to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead.
Segura added an RBI double in the second and an infield hit in the fifth. The All-Star shortstop reached base four times and leads the NL with 113 hits.
Chris Heisey hit a solo homer for Cincinnati, which has lost three of four since taking three in a row against the Giants. Jay Bruce and pinch hitter Xavier Paul each had an RBI single.
Bailey (5-7) allowed at least one run in each of the first three innings and failed to retire the Brewers in order in any frame. He issued a costly walk to Lohse in the second, and the pitcher scored from second on Segura's two-out double.
Bailey was replaced by Logan Ondrusek after he hit Segura with a pitch with two out in the sixth. The right-hander allowed a season-high 10 hits and walked three.
Lohse was pulled after he allowed singles to three of the first four batters in the seventh. Heisey was erased when Mesoraco grounded into a double play, but pinch hitter Cesar Izturis and Shin-Soo Choo singled to put runners on the corners.
John Axford came in and surrendered Paul's run-scoring hit to make it 4-3, but he bounced back to strike out Votto, limiting the damage.
Lohse was charged with three runs and nine hits. The righty improved to 4-0 with a 2.37 ERA in his last eight starts.
Jim Henderson worked the eighth and Francisco Rodriguez finished for his ninth save in nine chances and No. 303 for his career, tying Doug Jones for 22nd on the major league list.
Milwaukee got Ryan Braun back from the disabled list, but he did not play in the Brewers' second win in seven games against Cincinnati this season. Braun, who had been out with a bruised right thumb, took batting practice for the second straight day and could return to the lineup on Tuesday.
While the 2011 NL MVP returned to the active roster, third baseman Aramis Ramirez went back on the DL again with a nagging left knee injury.
Mesoraco got the start behind the plate for Cincy after manager Dusty Baker said Ryan Hanigan was dealing with soreness, declining to elaborate. But Mesoraco has a back issue and appeared to be playing hurt, grounding out with runners on first and second to end the eighth.
NOTES: Johnny Vander Meer remains the only pitcher to throw consecutive no-hitters, accomplishing the feat for the Reds on June 11 and June 15 in 1938. ... Paul had been sidelined with a sore right shoulder. Baker said before the game that he could return to the lineup on Wednesday. ... Brewers RHP Wily Peralta (5-9, 5.27 ERA) is scheduled to face LHP Tony Cingrani (3-0, 3.40 ERA) in the middle game of the series on Tuesday. Peralta was forced to leave his last outing in the sixth inning last Tuesday night at Washington due to a strained left hamstring. "It's all going to be dictated on what's happening," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "If he feels something, then, obviously, we'll address that. As far as pitches and things, there's no restrictions." ... The Miller Park roof was open at the start of the game, but it was closed during the second inning. It was opened again in the fourth. ... NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth, a Wisconsin native, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

With lots of love and praise, you'll enjoy encouraging your nine-month-old to move on to new achievements. Toys that respond to actions will reward your baby with fun surprises … and reward you with an "I did it!" expression.
She adjusts her posture as she moves, using furniture to steady herself
If a ball is rolled right to him, he can catch it
Her movements are more varied and deliberate
He can indicate with gestures, perhaps waving goodbye or lifting his arms to be picked up
She may follow your gaze
He can reach for a toy without falling over
Her hands are more dexterous; she can pass objects between them
Build it and they will play. Build a pile of blocks for baby and a pile for you. Stack up your blocks, pointing out which one is at the top and the bottom. Encourage baby to play along, either "helping" you build your pile or building with his own blocks. The most fun is likely to come from baby knocking over your pile … again and again!
Simple shapes. For shape-sorting, start simply. Let baby get the hang of putting the round shape through the round hole, then move on, going from simple shapes to ones that need more maneuvering to make them fit. You'll help baby gain confidence this way.
Color intro. Use the toy's features to introduce your baby to various colors, saying each color name clearly as you point it out on the toy.
Clear the way. To make baby's cruising adventures as safe as possible, make sure you clear a path all around the toy.
Reinforce language concepts by using descriptive words as you and your child play with the toy: "See the green ball going up and down, in and out?"
Make a game of participating by giving toys back to baby as she plays.
Build baby's excitement and anticipation by calling attention to surprises: "I wonder where the ball is?" That gets baby to think, even at this young age, about estimation.
What do you think? Demonstrate activities on the toy, then encourage your child to do the same: "I turned the dial … now it's your turn!" "Do you think we'll hear a sound when you press the button?" Simple mechanics will hold your child's attention – and improve fine motor skills at the same time.
So many colors! Help your child learn to recognize colors by pointing out each one and slowly saying its name. Reinforce the learning by pointing out things in baby's world that are the same color: "See? Your shirt is red too."
More to learn. Down the road, your child will be ready for letter, number and shape recognition. You can help things along by pointing these out on the toy, and then pointing out matching ones you see in everyday things around you.
Talk to your baby as often as you can. As you talk through daily activities, you'll introduce baby to the basic patterns and rhythms of speech.
Taking turns is another great activity. Initiate the "conversation," then listen and wait as your baby gazes back into your eyes and responds with a coo or babble. Say something back to help your child understand the idea of dialogue.
Mimic your baby's coos and babbles, which are critical for practicing how to make sounds, learning the ways sounds differ and how they can be combined.
Start reading to your baby early and instill a love of books. When you read together, point out pictures and encourage baby to point to them, too. Make the sounds of animals in books, or the sounds that other things make.
How to help a young child with language development? Here are 20 ideas. 1. Respond to sound with sound, speech with speech. When your baby makes gibberish sounds, make those sounds back to him or her.
Toys have always played an important role in enriching children's lives.
This is normal: babies have internal mechanisms to shield them from over-stimulation. Sometimes your 9-month-old son might get overwhelmed when he is in the midst of all the activity and be very content to observe what is going on around him.

We love Riverside and been coming here for years , we have had friends come here and have had family reunions here . We love the rooms and the location and Ken's breakfasts are made with love and are absolutely delicious. I would never go anywhere else when visiting North Conway . This is our second home and we love the host and hostess as well as Mary . They are what make Riverside so wonderful and comfortable . Highly recommend ! Rooms are cozy and well appointed . Location is close to the village but far enough away to enjoy the serenity of the landscape and beautiful Saco river running along side the property. Sharon Gaul&Wolf Rosner &Hannah Rosner

My stay was in the middle of November. I was the only guest there. Ken and Chris were amazing. Treated me like royalty. Breakfasts were incredible. Highly recommend Riverside Inn!

When booking our stay in New Hampshire, we decided that a bed and breakfast would best suit our expectations of a fall vacation in New England, and the Riverside Inn was a perfect choice. The setting was beautiful, with autumn colors all around, and the Saco River gently flowing along the edge of the property. We chose the Jackson Falls room, which was beautifully appointed, with careful attention to detail. The public areas were warm and welcoming, and we enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace on the comfortable sofas and chairs while chatting about our travels in the area and around the world with fellow guests, or sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs by the river. Ken, the owner, was charming and gracious and prepared amazing food for breakfast. One morning we had made-to- order scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage, tiny new potatoes, cherry tomatoes from the inn's garden with a splash of balsamic, and freshly baked English muffins, along with fresh fruit, a delicious fruit smoothie, and coffee. That evening we smelled cinnamon raisin bread baking in the kitchen and the next morning it was transformed into French toast with bacon or sausage, accompanied by fresh fruit, a fruit smoothie, and coffee. We heard that Ken's waffles were incredible as well. We couldn't have chosen a place that more perfectly embodied the New England autumn experience we had dreamed of and we were sad to leave it behind.

We booked this B&B for the gluten free dinning. What a great home and location. The breakfast was excellent along with everything else. If you are planning a trip to the white Mountain area try booking this property.

My husband & I decided to enjoy a last minute getaway in the Mount Washington Valley and discovered the Riverside Inn on our travels. Our stay was absolutely perfect from beginning to end and was just the getaway we were hoping for! The owners were welcoming and hospitable during our stay. The room was delightful and the freshly prepared breakfast delicious! The favorite part of our stay was the beautiful, peaceful grounds by the river. We were able to escape the hectic pace of life & truly savor some much needed relaxation together. The Adirondack chairs were lovely as we read & listened to the river babbling in the distance. And the oversized hammock was amazing!!!! We will definitely go back to the Riverside Inn Bed & Breakfast!

We've had the pleasure of staying here on a variety of occasions, both summer and winter. The innkeepers are fantastic hosts and their inn is always clean and comfortable. This is a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it!

This was a repeat visit for us and surely not the last. This Inn represents the true meaning of what a wonderful Inn should be. Elegantly aged and maintained to the highest standards, the innkeepers Ken & Chris keep this place beautiful, spotless clean, and most inviting. A comfortable bed, room warming romantic fireplaces, spacious bathrooms and a gourmet breakfast that would make Rachael Ray jealous! All of the amenities and social graces of yesterday are intact and wait to make your experience worth remembering and repeating. An A+ in my opinion.

My fiancé and I recently stayed at the Riverside Inn Bed and Breakfast. Our room was cozy and comfortable with a fireplace and jet tub in it. The breakfasts both mornings were amazing and made fresh to order by Ken. There were several quiet sitting areas with fireplaces, and nice touches like chocolates in your room, cookies in the kitchen, and juice, water, and tea always available. The Inn was conveniently located 5 minutes from downtown North Conway, Attitash, and Wild cat Mountain, among other attractions. Ken, the Inn keeper, and staff were very friendly and welcoming and were eager to help us find things to do and places to eat. I would definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend it to others. Brenda and Christian

From the moment my husband and I arrived at the office, we were greeted by Cadbury, a very friendly and laid back dog. Soon after that, Ken came in to say hello and get us all set up in our room. We were made to feel at home and felt very comfortable and relaxed there. The food is amazing, and we both ate way more than what we are used to. Luckily, there are plenty of sight-seeing hikes in the area to warrant those extra calories! The only down side is that some of the rooms are right next to another room, and you can hear talking through the walls because of this. But that is a small price to pay for outstanding service and food! We definitely plan to come back again.

Our stay at Riverside Inn was wonderful! We had never stayed at a B&B before and decided we would give it a try. We are so glad we chose the Riverside inn. The Service was wonderful! Ken made the most delicious filling breakfast every morning. The room was nice and cozy and very clean. Ken really has a lot of knowledge when it comes to site seeing. Every morning he would ask us what our plan was for the day and give us suggestions on where to go. The last day he gave us the directions to Mount Washington which was the best day of our get away! My boyfriend proposed to me on Mount Washington! We will definitely be staying at the Riverside Inn again in the future! Thank you Ken and everyone at Riverside Inn for a wonderful weekend getaway!

My wife has celiac disease so finding this place was a pleasant surprise but what was even more of a pleasant surprise was what a great place it was. Ken was great suggesting restaurants (and even bicycle roots) and is a genuine and warm person. Breakfast is delicious and the room and the entire house is not only clean but you can tell that there is a real attention to detail, a real pride throughout this Inn. My wife and I would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to our friends and family as well.

My husband and I have stayed at the Inn twice now. The first time my mother planned for us when we got engaged and the second time was when we renewed our vows last year. I am now in the process of planning our 5 year wedding anniversary weekend there for next year and I can't wait to make this a yearly thing for my husband and I. The Inn is gorgeous, Ken is so wonderful and his food is amazing. Our entire renewal ceremony was done and taken care of by the staff at the Inn and I'm so glad we had so much help. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet weekend away at a wonderful place :)

This lovely Inn is special. Ken and Chris have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and the breakfast is divine!

On a nice quiet road, rooms are beautiful, breakfast was great. Ken and his wife are also, so nice. Close to just about anything you want to see and do. Again, best rooms I have ever seen. Firefighter/author, Tim Andrew, Naugatuck, Ct.

From the moment we arrived, Ken was very attentive and welcoming, as well as accessible when we needed help deciding on a restaurant in the area. The inn itself is very charming and beautifully decorated, and the room was very clean and comfortable. When we got up in the morning and went down for coffee, it smelled wonderful in the whole house from breakfast cooking. And, breakfast was absolutely delicious and expertly prepared. We enjoyed our stay so much that we'll definitely go back again! Sincerely, Mark and Lisa

Myself and my girlfriend Jackie had the best time ever at The Riverside Inn.The room was perfectly decorated for a romantic getaway.From the beautiful fire place to the furnishings ,to the jacuzzi bath tub.We sat by the river and drank wine and talked on and on about the beautiful surroundings and the warm welcoming feeling we felt from the get.The Inn and its grounds were something you would see in one of those period movies where you would see gents in long coats and ladies in white gloves and beautiful dresses.The place is fantastic,Jackie and i measure all other places to The Riverside Inn..They all fall short in every way.We are going to reserve a room soon.Its been a year since our last visit and only visit.Far to long.I had such a great stay i forgot to turn the room keys in.My guess is because i felt at home..I sent Ken the keys in the mail from Philly where im from but have since moved to Salem NH.to be closer to Jackie.We cant wait to take another trip to beautiful Conway and the place from a storybook.The Riverside Inn..sincerely Marc A.Cresta

We had an absolutely wonderful experience! We felt "at home" from the moment we arrived, as the staff was incredibly welcoming and full of excellent local suggestions. The owner himself was very accessible throughout our stay, but no one was ever intrusive in any way. Brownie points right off the bat for the champagne and hand-written note from the Inn we found in our room after returning from dinner the first night! The Inn itself is lovely, with attention paid to furnishings and decorative items. Our room was sparkling clean and cozy with lots of closet space, a fireplace, large tv, air conditioner, and a 4-poster king bed with super comfy mattress/linens. A huge plus was that, even though the place was booked solid, Cell phone service isn't great (clearly no fault of theirs), but they do have wireless internet available as well as a desktop computer for all guests to share. By far the best thing about this place is the breakfast. Every morning, we woke up to delicious smells wafting up the stairs and into our room. The dining area is comfortable and airy, with plenty of seating space so that you never feel crowded. Classical and soft jazz music played from a small stereo, setting a relaxing tone for the meal. All of the food is made by the owner himself, including the breads and English muffins. Every meal starts with a fresh fruit bowl garnished with either fresh mint leaves or fresh basil leaves and their special Riverside Smoothie (I believe it was some sort of banana-berry combination). I highly recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere to truly unwind and experience the peacefulness of the White Mountains. It is in a great location and back-road shortcuts will get you around the traffic madness that occurs daily in the downtown area. Close to Attitash, Cranmore and lots of local eateries. A hidden gem among the many B&Bs in the North Conway area!!!

My husband and I had our 2nd stay at this wonderful Inn. It was like coming back to a friend's house for a visit. We stayed in the Jackson Falls room again which overlooks the river. Comfy bed, beautiful bedding and the updated bathroom with with int's waterfall showerhead. Breakfasts are so good with the start of fresh fruit and a fresh fruit smoothie. Oh yes did I mention the afternoon variety of cold ice tea and scrumtuous cookies. I could go on and on. The innkeepers are warm and generous with their home and we feel right at home. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I just got married in June 2012 and almost the entire event was done at Riverside Inn (except for the ceremony which was held a few minutes away at Cathedral Ledge). Ken, Chris, and Mary, the innkeepers, were amazing. The accommodations more than exceed my expectations. They were friendly, sincerely engaged with all the guests. The rooms are stunning and unique and met standards of perfection for cleanliness. In addition to just being an awesome B&B, it was the perfect place for a small NH wedding. All of our friends and relatives could stay with us at the Inn making every moment feel close and more personal, while at the same time reducing some of the constraints of an having a wedding at an inn where not everyone is attending the wedding. In addition to all of our friends and family being able to stay, Ken was more than happy to allow my black lab mix to stay with us as well! He also had no qualms about letting my 7 &11 year old nephews come (which many Inns in the area surprising do!). His dining room was the perfect size for holding our roughly 20 guests so that everyone could sit and eat together for a catered meal! And finally the sitting room was beautiful space for gathering during photos, drinks, or a reception after dinner. (And the refrigerator can hold a large cake too!) Overall, Riverside Inn makes an outstanding place for small wedding and the innkeepers are genuinely interested in making your special day perfect!

My husband and I just spent a weekend here. It was amazing! The breakfast was wonderful; the owner was very nice and accommodating in every way. They have a couple of Labs that will give you attention if you want it. 2 hammock's outside that you can rest in. The room was wonderful... I cannot say enough about this place. I will go back again and again.

We stayed at the Riverside Inn B&B in September while attending a wedding in the North Conway area. We were incredibly impressed with the accommodations. The rooms were unique, beautiful, and very clean. The innkeepers were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the breakfast - we never imagined we'd have such a gourmet meal! We were able to sit in the dining room, looking at out the river, and truly relax - a great way to start the day! Wish we could have stayed longer!

My husband and I stayed at the inn a few weeks back for our 6th anniversary! They surprised up with roses and a bottle of champagne! The breakfast was excellent,the inn was so clean and the rooms are very nice! We have stayed at a few inn's in Jackson, and by far this was the best inn in the area!! we can't wait to come back!!

My husband and I recently stayed at this wonderful Bed and Breakfast over Labor Day weekend (3 nights). The Inn exceeded our expectations...our rooms was cozy and extremely clean. Ken, Kris and Laurie were the most amazing Inn Keepers. They were very knowledgeable and helped us plan our hike to the top of Mount Washington. The breakfasts were delicious...we had amazing quiche, waffles, home-made banana bread, and fresh fruit...it was a great start to our day. The atmosphere was very relaxing and peaceful. There are great restaurants nearby too. Our favorite was the White Mountain Cider Co. If you're in the area, it's a definitely must for dinner (make reservations). We look forward to returning in the future...

We recently stayed here at Riverside. Our accommodations were wonderful and Ken and Laurie made our stay much better than expected! They were very friendly and helpful with questions of the area. I would highly recommend the Riverside when in North Conway.

We recently went to New Hampshire and we found this Inn that was so beautiful warm and the innkeepers were just the best. They made us feel so welcome and treated us like part of the family. The breakfast every morning was unbelievable and the perfect way to start the day. We hope to make it back there for many years to come it's the best B & B in the state of New Hampshire ....

This is, hands down, the best bed and breakfast Inn I have ever stayed in. We were driving by and saw the fabulous location next to the river, where the owners had placed adirondack chairs and hammocks along the rivers edge. Drawn in by that sight, we booked in for one night. We ended up staying three. The owners of the Riverside Inn have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. From the great array of books and DVD's in the Inn's library, to the fresh baked cookies in the afternoon, to the beautifully appointed rooms and the best breakfast around, this is by far the best Inn I have ever stayed in and we will definitely be back.

Just outside of North Conway we found this peaceful inn. Breakfast was great, rooms were clean and I could hear the river outside my window.

My husband (very new) and I stayed at the Riverside Inn for three nights after our wedding. We received phenomenal service, outstanding breakfast, and the Silver Cascade room was absolutely beautiful.

This was my second visit to the lovely Riverside Inn Bed and Breakfast. It's the perfect place to stay for an outdoor weekend. Beautiful rooms, great innkeepers and a super breakfast to start the day!

What a charming inn. Incredibly clean, peaceful and comfortable. Awesome breakfast served in the warmest fashion each morning. Close to all winter events and activities. We enjoyed the best snowshoeing at Great Glen Trails. We look forward to being guests again.

Very comfy B&B, immaculate. Great innkeeper. Delicious breakfasts. Great source of info on what to do & see in the area.

My husband and I recently spent two nights at Riverside while traveling in New Hampshire. The Inn was cozy and classic and the breakfast was gourmet and included many local ingredients. The staff was so kind and helpful and really aided us in planning our days in the White Mountains. Our room was clean and comfortable and perfect! I would stay here again and again if it weren't so far away from TX. We definitely hope to make it back to New Hampshire to spend some more time at this spectacular Inn and in the beautiful scenery of the White Mountains. I can't say enough good things about this place. You won't be disappointed!

I want to thank Ken and Chris for a wonderful weekend away. They both made our stay relaxing. We look forward to going back and enjoying more time at the Riverside Inn.

What a perfect weekend get away for the 4 of us.. We had the 2 bedroom suite on 3rd floor. Bedding was comfortable and decor was cottage-like and charming... The gas fireplace was cozy and we enjoyed cocktails in the livingroom each evening. The breakfast was a real treat..gourmet, nicely served in a lovely setting. Staff was friendly and helpful while respecting our privacy. And the bathrobes!!! The ultimate luxury! Thanks so much..we'll be back next year!~ PS. We checked out the other rooms... all exquisite!!! Thank you Ken!

I keep forgetting to write this review but it is something that I really wanted to do because the inn is just extraordinary! My husband and I stayed at the inn Columbus weekend 2009 and it was the best place we've ever stayed. I LOVED the fireplace in the room, which was just so cozy! The jet tub in the bathroom was so relaxing at the end of the day! The inn keepers were just awesome and we enjoyed an evening of chatting with them in the beautiful living room. I would fully recommend this inn and it is WELL WORTH the rate! The breakfast is AMAZING and a great start to your day! I cannot wait until my husband and I can return for another stay!
4.8 on January 03, 2010
Our 3 nights in late 12/09 were wonderful. The Inn's location was perfect for a restful and luxurious stay. The building is comfortable, extremely clean and well located. We had one day of well organized professionally-coached X-country skiing (Great Glen Trails), followed by a spontaneous, self-guided wander in the fresh snows at the Inn's neighborhood woods, and both days were wonderful. The Inn's personnel were extraordinarily personable, cheerful and helpful at every moment. Suggestions for activities were extremely well informed and detailed, with a wonderful recognition of our specific preferences, including ideas for shopping for innovative crafts. These were right-on for our commercial day in N.Conway, and were obviously tuned to our description and request. Breakfast was deluxe and delicious, imaginatively & beautifully prepared and then served by friendly, attentive and personal attention. A complementary bottle of champagne was left in our room for New Year's. Our room was small but well organized, charming and temperature-tuned to our own thermostat. I never felt that any aspect of our stay was a compromise, including nearby dinner options, 'net access and transportation details. The whole stay was a gratifying break from life's demands.

I recently stayed at The Riverside Inn when my parents and sister were visiting me from England. I am currently working in America for a year. My parents had planned to stay at the inn when visiting during the Summer. I was extremley pleased with their decision. The owners, Chris and Ken are lovely, their hospitality exceeded any level I have ever come across. Kitty their co-worker is always happy with her work, and does a great job! The room was clean, we stayed upstairs and shared two bedrooms and one bathroom. It was like having our own apartment. Chris and Ken arranged for us to have a fridge and microwave up there upon arrival. When returning home after New Year's Eve we were greeted with a bottle of Champagne and 4 glasses. My boyfriend is going to be visiting me soon and I have already made plans to return. What a lovely place! Definatley reccomend it :)

We stayed with our family for a Polar express week end. The inn is beautiful, warm and inviting. We felt like we could appreciate the inn and yet we felt that we had our own space in our two room family friendly suite complete with a fridge. The hospitality of the innkeepers is truely what puts Riverside above all the rest. We loved it so much we returned for week end with out the kids and have since returned with the kids on two more stays. We wouldn't stay anywhere else for our future visits to New Hampshire.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Riverside for a couple of nights on a shopping weekend. We make this trip each year around Thanksgiving time but this was our fist stay at the Riverside. We found the Inn to be very cozy. Located along side a river and just a short distance from all the shops this Inn exceeded our expectations. Our room had a gas fireplace, a spacious bath and the bedding was very comfortable. There are also many hiking trails in the area which we really enjoyed. The Inn keeper made our stay perfect and gave us some terrific recommendations for dinner. Our stay included a full breakfast each morning and the food was outstanding. We have recommended this Inn to our friends.
5 on November 03, 2009
Nothing but fabulous -- wonderful, romantic, clean, welcoming. The Lydeckers have done a tremendous job here. Every detail is perfect. Not to be missed.
5 on November 02, 2009
Our 2 days at the in was romantic, quiet, comfortable and just what we needed to bealone ,but together. The rooms were warm and comfortable. The Lydeckers were there to make our stay memorable and relaxing. The food was simple, plentiful and delicious. Don't miss this inn. It is a keeper.

Only way to say it - WOW. Stayed the first part of Oct 09. Great food, room, and the color of the mountains - WOW.

I stayed last October for a night, seemed a little new and the owners were still going through their paces. I'm sure by now they've got everything to a science. The room was great, the house was beautiful, serive incredible and the breakfast topped it off. I will stay here again, couldn't beat the value

The inn & owners were perfect. Very relaxing and food was great.

The Riverside Inn at Intervale, New Hampshire, is a wonderful place to stay. Located along a river, the atmosphere is great for rest & relaxation.
5 on August 04, 2009
We needed to get away from the city & we found the perfect escape in the Riverside Inn B&B. It was located near to hikes, trains, trails & waterfalls as well as restaurants& shops. The people at the inn were nurturing & the B&B was luxurious.
4.8 on August 02, 2009
I cannot be more positive about an Inn and I've stayed at a few. We arrived tired and harried expecting a little more of the same. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were treated with utmost respect. The rooms were meticulous. The plumbing, fixtures, and even doors and windows were all up to date and working perfectly. The Inn has plenty of space, both indoors and out. There is a good library - sorted pretty well too. Being a little out of N. Conway turned out to be a benefit for us. We avoided traffic. There is a general supermarket about 1 mile North at the 302-16 junction. There are superb restaurants also nearby and also away from N. Conway. We left rejuvenated. I highly recommend this place.
5 on May 31, 2009
Had an absolutely amazing stay here at the Riverside Inn! Great location, not in the center of N. Conway, but close enough! The friendliest and most helpful staff, and a wonderful breakfast! The Silver Cascade room was well beyond our expectations and will have us returning for years to come!
3.8 on February 03, 2009
What a beautiful place.Very clean and quite .Ken was very helpful with any needs .The Silver cascade room was so Romantic and peaceful after a day of snow tubing the Spa tub was amazing and was big enough for 2.The breakfast roomwas so beautiful with the fireplace .My only issue was the heat in the room ask Ken before you turn on gas fireplace to shut off the other heat source in the room as it got very hot in there with both on.We can't wait to go again

We stayed at the Riverside Inn the first weekend in January and had a wonderful time. It was an easy drive up from Boston (less than 3 hours without traffic and good road conditions). The innkeepers are very warm, welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Ken was full of suggestions for restaurants and activities. When we had an issue with the water due to a frozen pipe, Ken immediately saw to it and it was fixed right away. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and cozy. Compared to other inns in the area, this definitely offers the best value. It is rare to find such well maintained rooms with modern bathrooms and fireplaces at these rates -- especially for a holiday weekend. It's a great place to just relax in the inn itself. We spent one morning playing Scrabble in front of the fireplace. It is well situated -- right off of some crosscountry skiing trails. You don't have to drive more then 15 or 20 minutes to be any activity you want -- crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing, ice skating, sleigh rides, etc. Ken will give you discount coupons for the trails nearby. There are also a ton of outlet shops nearby. The best part of the weekend was the breakfast. Ken was incredibly thoughtful and accomodated my dietary requirements (getting turkey bacon since I don't eat pork). Every morning there was new 7-fruit smoothie that was scrumptious. And the rest of the breakfast was truely gourmet and is served in several courses. It's the perfect breakfast to start off an action-packed day. I would definitely return to this inn and I highly recommend it to others.

If you're looking for the best in traditional Inn charm, you won't be disappointed. We experienced the warmth and relaxation we were looking for. Spacious rooms, private baths, charming landscape and superior hospitality all make this a memorable place to vacation. We'll certainly be back.

We stayed at the Riverside Inn for the Polar Express Ride in North Conway. The innkeepers were so great to us (we were traveling with our children). They helped us to find appropriate things to do locally while waiting for our train ride. They welcomed our children to the breakfast room with open arms. And even helped with our child's allergy needs. Our rooms were cozy, comfortable, and affordable. We hope to visit again and welcome all to inquire if you are in the North Conway area for skiing, Story Land, or shopping.

While the building may be pink, there's nothing frou frou about this inn. It was recently purchased and has been beautifully decorated in muted tones. The guest rooms are lovely, and impecably clean. The open kitchen means that you can watch as breakfast is made, and I loved that they even have a "chef's table" in the kitchen. Yet, the breakfast room is also really lovely - a cool yellow/gold color with gorgeous windows. I loved the feel of the entire inn, including the welcoming committee of two beautiful labs - a chocolate and a blonde.

I came across this great idea from The Inspired Room and just had to give it a try. She used old book pages to make framed art, but I decided to use vintage sheet music instead. Both will work just fine for this project.
This project was great for all of those empty frames sitting around our store. I enjoyed making this framed artwork because it was SO simple and I already had all of the materials I needed on hand.
Here's how to make your own framed artwork.
ONE: Find a large frame to paint.
TWO: Choose a book to rip apart.
THREE: Arrange the book pages to fit inside your frame.
FOUR: Use double sided tape and attach the book pages to each other.
FIVE: Cut foam core board or cardboard to your frame size.
SIX: Use spray adhesive and attach the book pages to the board.
SEVEN: Staple the back of the board to the frame.
EIGHT: Hang your frame and admire your DIY Framed Sheet Music.

I'm gonna start this post with a little bit of background. I'm a developer on various open source hardware projects, others and my own. Hardware has more barriers to entry than software, particularly when it comes to distributed collaboration. It's not a matter of exchanging text files; you have to work with images, CAD files, videos, documents, etc and then there's the problem of incompatible versions of multimedia. Even when everybody uses the same file formats, it can be difficult to convey all of the relevant information. And if you change anything it can be a huge issue. Then there's the ever-present problem of turning the design into an actual physical thing.
What the open source hardware community needs is a common set of tools, but not just a few tools, an entire toolchain. I tried to work out a common file format and quickly realized that it's not possible. You need a common database format, and not just a database, you need tools that can edit the project files without losing all the relationships in the database. Basically, you need an end-to-end development environment that links any random developer with all other developers, using identical file formats, and identical tools, that eventually produces a digital description of the machine that can be qualified and fabricated virtually.
It's a huge undertaking. Without an end-to-end environment each piece is only marginally useful. The chicken and egg problem seemed almost insurmountable.
However, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) had the same thought, and they threw a lot of money at it. In an attempt to cut the development time of military vehicles by a factor of five, DARPA has created a complete, web-based, virtual development environment…oh and they're releasing it under an open source license.
It's called VehicleFORGE and for its first trick it will host a year-long, three-stage competition to design the Marine Corps' next amphibious infantry fighting vehicle. It's called the FANG Design Challenge and it's open to any "U.S. person." Yes, ANYONE (who doesn't violate ITAR restrictions). All you have to do is register and, when the competition goes live on 14 January 2013, you'll be able to design a vehicle using cutting-edge open source tools.
I just registered and I can assure you that, after poking around the members area for a while, VehicleFORGE looks polished. It's only got a few controls, but they're exactly what you need, they work intuitively, and it's an overall slick experience. The only stuff that's live at the moment seems to be the social network stuff (competitors and teams).
Speaking of which, if you'd like to join Team Openalia, just register and do a quick search or follow the link.
I'm fairly certain that the competition will be won by teams uploading a lot of high-performance parts that aren't included in DARPA's list of supplied components. However, participating will be a lot of fun. Lets see how well we can do against the other non-professional teams!

Curt Schilling looked much better, although he seemed to tire in the middle innings (he began the fifth at 70 pitches), losing both velocity and control, and leaving his split-finger fastball up in the strike zone. His line: 6.1-9-4-3-4.
It had no bearing on the eventual score, but the White Sox were nice enough to bunt themselves out of a potentially huge rally in the fifth. Geoff Blum singled and scored on Juan Uribe's double, giving Chicago a 2-0 lead. Then, in a move that was praised to the skies by ESPN's Dave O'Brien and Rick Sutcliffe, Ozzie Guillen called for two bunts. The last one -- a suicide squeeze -- brought in Uribe, making the score 3-0. So Chicago traded this scenario:
2-0 lead, man on 2nd, 0 outs, top of the order upfor this one:
3-0 lead, no one on, two outs, #3 hitter up.That is stupid baseball. Especially in the top of the fifth inning, against the Red Sox at Fenway.
Naturally, ESPN loved it. "Ozzie created a run," cooed Sutcliffe. ... We've been talking about moronic announcers in some of the comments (these guys do a great job of pointing out the silliness that passes for baseball analysis) -- and while you could write a book about Sutcliffe's gaffes and inanities for every game he calls, I'll include just one from this game.
In the seventh inning, Uribe singled and was then thrown out trying to steal second base. The play was very close, and ESPN showed replays from about five different angles. Part of the discussion in the booth went like this (not verbatim, but damn close):
Sutcliffe: Nope, Uribe was safe.Yeesh. And these guys said they'll be at Friday's Sox-Yankees game. Rut roh. ... Alright, one more: In the Red Sox ninth, Sutcliffe praised Kevin Millar for fouling off "a lot of pitches" to get the one he hit for a double. The at-bat went: foul, swing/miss, foul, ball, double.
O'Brien: I gotta believe he's out.
Sutcliffe: I agree with you.
[Another replay is shown.]
Sutcliffe: Yup, Uribe was right, he was safe.
Sorry, Rick, but unless you are talking about functioning brain cells in your head, two is not a lot. However, you did manage to get through a non-Yankee game with mentioning Derek Jeter only twice -- yet, strangely, not when the right field ball boy leapt into the stands -- so that was an improvement.
The East lead is three games, and the Yankees, who had Monday off, lead the wild card by 1.5 over both Cleveland and Oakland. ... The Sox now host the Angels for three games. Wakefield / Lackey at 7:00.

This may be less than timely, but whatever.
How many times does Texas Gov. Perry have to be snubbed by "the Lord" before he gets it?
April 2011, Texas is starting to suffer widespread drought for which there is no impending meteorological relief. Rick Perry organizes a "prayer" holiday for rain and the drought gets worse, continuing to this very day. Any good witch doctor knows you need to see the clouds building in the west before you schedule the rain dance.…Continue

I blame my parents.
All through my life, my parents taught me to question everything. "Don't believe everything the preacher says. Look it up for yourself." I suppose their honest intention was to keep me from being pulled in by a heretical cult, but this admonition along with my naturally inquisitive mind led me on a path they cannot fathom.
My parents made two other big mistakes with regard to my remaining a theist. First, they raised me as a Southern…Continue

Why is it that when a Christian (or other "person of faith") is blighted with illness or confronted with a natural disaster it is a "trial," but when a nonbeliever or "sinner" has an identical problem it's called God's wrath?
God destroyed New Orleans because of its pagan festivals and perversity, but left Bourbon Street virtually untouched. Apparently, perversity is code for "being black and/or poor" in American Christianity.
Meanwhile, I overheard a woman at my local…Continue

They're called 'wonder batteries' because while in the back of beyond you'll be wondering how long it'll take to have some shipped to you in a one horse town where no one sells wonder batteries before you can use your 'super torch' to see in the dark. An activity I'd class as mission critical. Reliability and Availability the watchwords of outdoor equipment. Whatever it is, it must work when you need it to, and the stuff it eats must be available everywhere.
The NiteCore D10SP runs on 'AA' which while not having the output of wonder batteries win out by being the most commonly available battery on earth, and a lot cheaper too.
Let the Unboxing commence:
One of the clever things in the design is the contact-less switching (Smart PD System) where instead of the contact switches found in most electronic products Nitecore are using magnets to make the connection; meaning there can never be a spark between the switches parts (reassuring while looking for gas leaks) and with no moving part to fail reliability should be excellent.
Once the light is switched on, pressing and holding the tail button cycles through three brightness settings: 130 lumens [1 hour], 35 lumens [6 hours] and 2 lumens [100 hours]. If you double click the tail cap it also has a very neat strobe function which would be very clearly visible, and run for a very long time in a survival situation.Features:
Takes One AA battery - yep the ones you can buy everywhere that power the rest of your kit!
Military grade aluminium with a Mil-Spec Type III Hard Anodized finish
Resistance to impact by dropping according to US MIL-STD-810F
Waterproof to IPX-8 standard
Broad-voltage fully-regulated circuit - Li-ion compatible
Textured orange peel reflector [smoothes out the beam]
Impact-resistant optical lens with a dual-coating
Length = 89mm
Diameter = 19mm
Weight = 40 grams
As you might hope it comes with a lanyard
I got the black one but it's available in camo if you're the kind of person who likes to lose things.

Living in Berlin in the 1930s with a small income, Hannah doesn't have a car. In "A Trace of Smoke," she couldn't even drive, but by "A Night of Long Knives," she was a good enough driver to steal Ernst Röhm's staff car and light out after Hitler. In the upcoming "A Game of Lies" a certain wine-red Opel Olympia plays a key role too.
Here's a quick step through the cars in Hannah's life:
Boris's car in "A Trace of Smoke," except that his was black and had that fancy flask of expensive whiskey in the glove box (and gloves too).Hitler's staff car, a twin to the one Hannah steals in "A Night of Long Knives." (and no, I don't actually know what kind of car Röhm drove, but if you're going to steal, steal big)

The city government of Hefei needed to destroy 156 illegal taxis, so they let police, city workers, and even legal taxi drivers smash the unlicensed cars to oblivion. They went to town.
While these unlicensed, uninsured gypsy cabs are definitely unsafe, they are also significantly cheaper than legal taxis. Legal cabs are not only authorized, but often owned by the state, which makes it extremely difficult for any privateers to get a license and move in on their monopoly.

They confirmed him for Series 8, and than unconfirmed him. I'm guessing someone jumped the gun during negotiations. Whoever confirmed him are assholes. They gave me hope and took it away dang it!
I'm amazed it's been 3 years already. When I think about it it sounds right. But it doesn't FEEL right. Maybe it's just because they only give you a little Who(6ish episodes) at a time. Smith overcame the emo doctor label and ended up being pretty good. He easily had a few more seasons in him and it's a shame to see him leave. I wonder why everyone is so quick to leave the show. One season and you're typecast regardless and I'm sure the money is good.
New doctor being announced live this sunday..Get your "oh him?!?!?" faces ready.
I've heard there are 2-1 odds on Peter Capaldi.I'm okay with this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_CapaldiI'd like to have someone a bit older again.

The CIHR has indicated that the names and location of the chosen Canadian team will be announced after the researchers obtain their required ethics approval from relevant institutional research ethics board(s). The selection of the clinical trial research team follows the CIHR's release of a Request for Proposals that sought grant applications from researchers to conduct an early-phase clinical trial in Canada to test the ability of a surgical procedure called balloon venoplasty to improve blood drainage in individuals with MS who have been identified as having CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency). This announced clinical trial is a collaborative initiative between the CIHR and the MS Society of Canada. Currently, there have been conflicting reports about whether and to what extent CCSVI impacts MS disease activity. Although some individuals who have MS have undergone this surgical procedure, there has not yet been a controlled trial to determine its effectiveness or safety. The National MS Society shares in the public urgency to advance the understanding of CCSVI as quickly as possible. To build understanding of CCSVI, seven studies (link to Jun 11, 2010 news article) were launched on July 1, 2010 with a more than $ 2.4 million commitment from the MS Society of Canada and the U.S. National MS Society. "Our funded CCSVI researchers have been serving on the scientific working group that is advising the CIHR on CCSVI and on aspects of the design of the clinical trial," noted Dr. Timothy Coetzee, Chief Research Officer of the U.S. National MS Society. "The findings from the seven projects, and what we expect to be a well-designed clinical trial, will help determine next steps." Read the 18-month progress reports from the seven multi-disciplinary teams investigating CCSVI in MS.

Austin's Restaurant
I had been to Austin's Restaurant here in Louisville maybe three times in my entire life. I couldn't remember much about it, other than I liked the spaciousness of the inside and that they held a lot of banquets/parties there.
So when my mom wanted to go there for her birthday celebration with our family, I decided to check out the menu.
They are known for their "contemporary Southern cuisine" which unfortunately means a lot of meat and cheese. While they do offer a "garden veggie burger" I wasn't sure if this would contain dairy, like some other restaurants' veggie burger choices do. (I can't tell you how much I wish Buffalo Wild Wings would do me a solid and at least opt for the Boca vegan burger if I'm going to pay $7 for something I could make at home)
So I emailed the address listed on their website to ask about vegan options. I got almost an immediate response from the general manager, Adam, who informed me that most items on their menu do indeed contain meat and/or dairy, but that the kitchen staff would be more than happy to make a special dish for me.
I was really excited by this response, not just the timeliness, but the fact that he was willing to work with me. I've emailed places before and either gotten no response, a generic response indicating they did not even read my email, or in the case of Applebee's, my email was answered by a phone call from a person who did not speak very good English.
Last Sunday when we went to Austin's, I was the last to order and I was a little nervous. It's intimidating when you are with 8 other people and you are the only one with a special request. I was also a little unsure of what I wanted and had hoped the waitress would recommend something or ask the chef/kitchen staff what they usually make if they receive a request such as this. She told me if I knew what I wanted, they'd make it, but they couldn't just pick something for me. Duh, it was silly of me to think that, right?
Luckily, she sent the kitchen manager out who suggested their spinach pasta dish, minus the chicken and cheese, and with a ton of veggies added in their place. Sounds good to me!
This dish was delicious! The mushrooms were probably my favorite part, but all the veggies were just so fresh and went very well with the olive oil-garlic sauce. They even threw some asparagus in there. It was also great because I had enough for lunch that day plus leftovers!
While I was a little worried at first, I ended up being very happy with my dining experience and even my family was impressed that a restaurant would go out of their way for someone with special dietary needs. A lot of times, I am afraid to ask so I will just order a salad or a plain baked potato. But I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone this time.
If this is how I plan to eat forever, then I'd better get used to it!
Have you ever made a special request at a restaurant? How did it go?

DNR's interactive tools help hunters know where, when to hunt
Deer likely to be more active, DNR say
Gun deer season opens Saturday morning in Wisconsin, and the Department of Natural Resources has more interactive tools for hunters.
One of them it its Voluntary Public Access Program.
"We've got, I think, over 40,000 acres now available that are open up to hunting for the public, so it's about access and making sure people have the information to know where to go and have fun," Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp said.
Hunters can watch a DNR video that explains more about the VPA.
There's also a new smartphone app that tells hunters when it's legal to shoot.
The Wisconsin DNR developed the Sunrise-Sunset Hunting app.
It uses GPS to pinpoint a hunter's location and tell them if they are within the legal hunting time for that day.
Right now, the app is only available for Android phones.
DNR spokesman Ed Culhane said this year's season is at its earliest possible date because it's tied to Thanksgiving, which is early. He said deer will still likely be mating and therefore more active and less cautious.
According to the DNR, there were nearly 376,000 licenses sold as of Tuesday. That's compared to nearly 403,000 last year at the same time. But Culhane said the Friday before the season is traditionally the busiest single day for sales.
This year, Gov. Scott Walker wanted to streamline Wisconsin's hunting season structure, after hunters complained. There was no October gun hunt for antlerless deer. There is also no Earn-A-Buck requirement for the first antlered deer.

The Image Mill – Tribute to Norman McLaren, Animation Pioneer
In collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), the last edition of The Image Mill projection show, beginning in summer 2013, will take the form of a tribute to filmmaker Norman McLaren.
Born in Stirling, Scotland, in 1914, McLaren is regarded as a world pioneer in animated film. The innovative work he created at the NFB from 1941 to 1983 constitutes a major contribution to animation cinema, one that brought him international recognition. McLaren was closely associated with the National Film Board of Canada, and part of his work was developed in Montreal from 1956 to 1983 during a period of cultural and political turmoil in Quebec.
A tireless innovator
At that time, it seemed somewhat eccentric to believe that animation could be a personal art form, and that this type of expression could find a place within the framework of an institution. McLaren's work consequently had an enormous influence on animation across the globe. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the NFB, as a unique creative and cultural laboratory, has played a substantial role in the worldwide development of animation in no small part due to McLaren's vision.
Always brimming with creativity, McLaren explored a wide range of techniques: scratching on film, painting on film, pixillation, live-action takes, stop-motion, and cartoon drawing, among others. He never ceased to innovate and used each of his films to investigate the creative possibilities offered by different art forms, such as dance, painting and music.
Over his long career, Norman McLaren received an impressive number of awards, including an Oscar for Neighbours and a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for Blinkity Blank. He holds an unparalleled place in the history of world cinema. McLaren died in 1987.
"Because of his tireless exploration of many different art forms, such as stage performance, video and dance, Norman McLaren paved the way for many artists. Ex Machina is among those who benefit from his work. The Image Mill makes for an exceptional encounter with this visionary pioneer, thanks to his work echoing through time all the way to us." – Robert Lepage
The Image Mill has a story to tell
Every summer since 2008, Quebec City's Bunge grain silos have been brought to life by The Image Mill, a projection show that has transformed these oversized screens with its tribute to the city. In collaboration with the NFB, for its last edition in summer 2013 The Image Mill will instead pay tribute to McLaren, the man who expanded the creative limits and possibilities of the animation form.
This architectural projection, produced and presented by Ex Machina and Robert Lepage, is the largest of its kind ever conceived. Sophisticated technology is used to project a huge quantity of images and films onto the grain silos in the industrial port of Quebec, a massive "screen" that spans 600 meters wide by 30 meters high! In the hands of Lepage and his creative team, this gigantic expanse of concrete seems to be in a constant state of transformation, giving viewers the surreal impression that it is alive and talking to them.
The Image Mill was created in 2008 as part of the festivities surrounding the 400th anniversary of Quebec City. Following the success of this first edition, the work was extended for another five years. In its final year, 2013, only 20 percent of the The Image Mill's content was slated for renewal, but thanks to the NFB's invaluable collaboration, the farewell projection show will feature all new content.
The Image Mill dates and times in 2013
June 23 to September 1, Tuesday to Saturday. No projections on Sundays and Mondays, except on June 23 and September 1.
Show begins at 10:15 p.m. in June and July, and 9:45 p.m. in August and September.
Where to see and listen to The Image Mill
To experience and appreciate the work at its best and in all its dimensions, viewers are encouraged to go to the Quebec City harbour, in the area between the Old Port Market, Dalhousie Street, and Quay Saint-André Street.
The Mill Frequency: 97,5 FM
Those who want to experience the mega-projection from afar can tune in to 97.5 FM on their personal FM radio.
You can also download the The Mill Frequency radio show in MP3 format, which contains thorough interviews with The Image Mill creators (in French) and more information about McLaren's work and the early days of animated film (available in June).
Our partners
Ex Machina would like to thank the National Film Board of Canada for its invaluable and continued collaboration on this project, and for the gracious use of the archives that made this entirely new 2013 edition possible.
Ex Machina also thanks the City of Quebec, Bunge Canada, the Port of Quebec and the Abraham-Martin co-ownership for their amazing collaboration, without whom the project could not have been realized.
Ex Machina also wishes to thank its financial partners, the Caisse d'économie solidaire Desjardins and Investissement Québec.
The film The Image Mill Revealed paints a portrait of the last three months preceding the première of The Image Mill™.

A pioneer in the legal profession in Virginia, Elizabeth Bermingham Lacy holds the distinction of being the first female deputy attorney general in the state, the first female judge on the State Corporation Commission, and the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court of Virginia. Born on January 12, 1945, in South Carolina, she grew up in Wisconsin and earned a law degree at the University of Texas. In 1982 she began work in the Virginia attorney general's office, where she supervised all civil litigation. She received a Master of Laws degree from the University of Virginia in 1992.
Lacy served on the Virginia State Corporation Commission, which regulates utilities and other public service businesses, for almost four years, from April 1985 to December 1988, when the governor appointed her to a vacancy on the Supreme Court of Virginia. The General Assembly elected Lacy to twelve-year terms on the court in 1989 and again in 2001. She earned a reputation for her no-nonsense approach, advising lawyers to submit their briefs in plain intelligible English, not in legalese. She also wrote hundreds of opinions on a variety of subjects.
Lacy's skill and determination have undoubtedly opened doors for women in what has historically been a male-dominated profession. At the time of her retirement from the court in mid-August 2007 to take senior status, three of Virginia's seven Supreme Court justices were women, as was the immediate past-president of the Virginia State Bar. "Seeing a woman as a judge gives any young woman the almost subconscious belief or idea that she can do it," Lacy has said. "To the extent that my role has contributed to that, that's a really good thing."

After Brazil, Blatter focuses on FIFA election
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — When Brazil's football fans finally got their best chance to see Sepp Blatter at the World Cup, they had a message for him.
It was not a nice one for the FIFA President at his fifth final as head of football's governing body.
Jeers and whistles rained down on Blatter and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff before and during the trophy presentation at the Maracana Stadium.
Happily for Blatter, however, he could enjoy a sixth World Cup final as president in 2018 in Russia if he wins re-election next May.
Blatter mostly stayed out of view here during the 32-day tournament, making few public appearances and being kept off stadium giant screens at the 18 matches he attended.
"I have not been hiding," Blatter told reporters at a reception Friday in Rio de Janeiro, hosted by Russian World Cup organizers. "I have just not been speaking too much."
There was nowhere to hide Sunday with World Cup protocol requiring Blatter and Rousseff jointly give the gold trophy to German captain Philipp Lahm after a 1-0 win over Argentina.
In fairness to Blatter, most derision seemed aimed at Rousseff, who also faces an election within months.
He is also more popular among football leaders than football fans, and many voters share his desire to extend a presidency that began in June 1998.
"I'll be honest with you it still burns, it still burns stronger than ever to go forwards," Blatter told delegates from the CONCACAF region on June 10, two days before the tournament kickoff.
The success of a World Cup in Brazil that beat all expectations — better organized, better football on the pitch, fewer protests on the streets — was unlikely to weigh heavily on Blatter's election chances.
Since Brazil was awarded hosting rights in 2007, as the only candidate, Blatter delegated responsibility and tough questions during troubled preparations to his secretary general, Jerome Valcke.
Still, Blatter can share in the satisfaction of a job well done. That will be expressed Monday at Maracana during his first news conference since the World Cup began.
Blatter's tournament has been a private pleasure in a football-loving country. FIFA is unpopular in Brazil and typically seen as arriving with aggressive demands, then leaving without paying tax.
He has had limited direct contact with Brazilian people. Appearances at a sports seminar and opening a FIFA community project in Rio de Janeiro were vetted for attendance.
FIFA denied instructing its television production team to keep Blatter out of shot, though it did help avoid the jeers he and Rousseff faced during the Confederations Cup opening ceremony in Brasilia last year.
When Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel watched her national team beat Portugal 4-0 in Salvador on June 16, she was framed in TV pictures with two men sitting to her left, rather than Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini at her right.
On Tuesday, Blatter will fly home to Switzerland and resume election strategizing, nurturing his supporters among 209 FIFA voting federations and needling perceived rivals.
His column for FIFA's online magazine The Weekly on July 4 was typical.
After the Asian Football Confederation's poor World Cup — zero victories in 12 matches for its four teams — Blatter suggested its 46 FIFA member nations were "treated with such disdain" and should seek more places at future tournaments.
"We need a new deal, preferably sooner rather than later," Blatter wrote, in a clear jibe at UEFA (53 FIFA members, 13 World Cup places) and Platini.
Baiting his former protege is a regular tactic. In a FIFA video interview released after the group stage, Blatter "revealed" that Platini will have goal-line cameras at the 2016 European Championship. UEFA has made no such decision.
The strategy appears to be: Dissuade Platini from seeking the top job, and persuade voters not to support the former France great.
After a quiet few weeks for Blatter — attending the Under-20 Women's World Cup in Canada and the Youth Summer Olympics in Nanjing, China — August 29 is a key date.
Then, at the Champions League draw event in Monaco, Platini should announce if he will be a FIFA presidential candidate.
Even if Platini decides against challenging his mentor, UEFA will likely support another candidate by the January deadline to declare.
That seemed assured after a volatile UEFA meeting in Sao Paulo last month when European officials urged Blatter to step aside in 2015.
Netherlands federation president Michael van Praag told Blatter that FIFA was a byword for corruption and "people tend not to take you seriously anymore."
"That was the most disrespectful thing I have experienced in my entire life," Blatter told reporters after the FIFA Congress on June 11 when he last addressed media.
Hours earlier, Blatter had delighted most FIFA members by promising $200 million in bonus payments from the near-$4.5 billion World Cup revenues.
"It's impossible to make everybody happy," Blatter said in a congress speech to his voters.
A majority still seem happy with their leader.

I am writing in regard to the Seneca Township recall campaign that will be voted on Feb. 23.
We have rules and regulations that try to keep people within the law. In this situation, the planning commission had already acted on the ruling. There seems to be a personality conflict between the parties involved.
A recall should be used for fraudulent misuse of money for someone's personal gain or their personal benefit, in which this is not the case.
This recall is not in the best interest of Seneca Township. It is a senseless waste of money and time.
I urge you to vote "No" on Feb. 23.
