DO NOT STAY HERE! It is very over priced! The rooms are small, the bed is like sleeping on concrete, there was no coffee in the rooms, and they charge 1.50 for ice! The showers were horrible! Barely any hot water, and no shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom, just a dinky little bar of Dial soap that you could... More
Stayed here in August with my husband. Because it was over a weekend we had a hard time finding something at the last minute, but this was available so we "took a chance". We typically stay in Wildwood Crest, but do like the atmosphere and easy walk to the beach this motel afforded. It is not a fancy place, but... More
Great place. Very clean. Great location. Great staff and clientele. Very family friendly. I would stay here again. The only thing I didn't like was the futon in the room had a cover on it that could use a new one.
Found this place on the web, booked a special they were running. Ended up staying 3 more days over the weekend. Place was the cleanest motel I have stayed, people were friendly. Met other guests and are planning to return the same time next year. Was quiet and close to the beach and nightlife. Would highly suggest, check them out.
A great family place, quite, clean and close to the beach. People very friendly. Rooms small but very clean . Best night sleep at a shore motel in years , no carpets. Pool was fabulous. Booked again for August. We found a new shore spot and would highly recommend.
Vacationed for the fourth, tile floors , no stinky rugs. Very clean and accommodating. Not the Ritz but clean and good for the money. Would go back.
Worst hotel... Great location but over priced and outdated.... Rooms are old with old bathrooms... Showers are gross.... Rooms are small... Beds were hard as a rock... They barely give you any bath towels and the ones they give you are small... Rooms are way over priced..... I would never stay here again... I'd rather be home
Stayed here on a June weekend with family & friends. We had 2 rooms that were very clean (but a bit on the small side). The pool was great, the staff was very friendly. All in all, a very nice weekend and would definitely go back!
Stayed there for a trip with wife and kids. The motel is well maintained and the staff/owners very nice and friendly. I would recommmend staying here as it is in close proximaty to the beaches, club scene, restaurants and the boardwalk is not too far away. The pool was clean and well maintained. I would recommend this motel for a... More

Steve Litteral is a native of Rockford, Illinois and he is currently the Executive Director of Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum. He spent two enlistments in the US Army as an airborne infantryman (paratrooper) until he started his academic career in 2000. Currently, Steve has earned an A.A., B.A. in history, and an M.A. in military history. Tinker Swiss Cottage was recently featured in an episode of the SyFy Channel show Ghost Hunters.
When (and why) did you first contact TAPS about coming to Tinker Swiss Cottage and what was their initial response?
I had called TAPS many years ago to get some advice, but I never thought we would be on their television program. Thanks to Michael Kravchuk (The Ghost Gadget Guy) who knew they were in the Chicago area, and he told them they should check out the museum while they were in the area. I soon received a call from the producer of 'Ghost Hunters' who asked if TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) could film an episode at the museum, and of course, I said, "yes."
Tell our readers a little about what Tinker Cottage is and why it is a Rockford landmark.
The museum, which is actually a Victorian mansion, was built in 1865 by a gentleman named Robert H. Tinker. Robert was a former mayor of Rockford and he was also one of the founders of the Rockford Park District. The museum also contains all of the Tinker's original artwork, furniture, journals, and books. It is not only important to local history, but Victorian American history as well since it is a time capsule to contemporary visitors. When you walk through the mansion, it looks like they just left for the afternoon. We also have a Native American burial mound near the mansion and the first buildings in Rockford were built on the site in 1834.
Have you or other staff members experienced anything unusual while working at the museum? What are some of the most "active" areas?

text: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Schools in California are frequently overcrowded. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Proposition 30 would increase taxes for people earning more than $250,000 per year and add a quarter-cent increase to the state sales tax. Polls now show that voters with no political preference are walking away from the measure and intend to vote against it. Only 46 percent of voters now support the measure while 42 percent actively oppose it. To save his proposal, and to protect against further, painful budget cuts, Governor Brown is hitting the campaign trail to talk about Prop 30 and what it means for Californians. Opposition claims are grounded in the accusation that the state cannot manage the money it currently has, while supporters say without the help further steep cuts would have to be made in areas such as education, police, and fire. Analysts say another competing proposition, 38, which raises taxes specifically for schools, is also siphoning support from the governor's proposal. However, prop 30 supporters also say the measure would cost schools dearly If it is not passed. The governor has threatened further cuts to education if prop 30 is defeated. Schools in California have been underfunded and overcrowded for several years as California plunges deeper into fiscal crisis. � 2012, Distributed by NEWS CONSORTIUM. - - - Pope Benedict XVI's Prayer Intentions for January 2013 General Intention: The Faith of Christians. That in this Year of Faith Christians may deepen their knowledge of the mystery of Christ and witness joyfully to the gift of faith in him. Missionary Intention: Middle Eastern Christians. That the Christian communities of the Middle East, often discriminated against, may receive from the Holy Spirit the strength of fidelity and perseverance. |

HERE ARE men and women in the world who, of their own free will, live a dogless life, not knowing what they miss; and for them this essay, securely placed in the dignified Atlantic, there to remain so long as libraries and books shall endure, is chiefly written. Let them not pass it by in scorn, but rather stop to consider what can be said of the animal as a fellow-being entitled to their sympathy and having, perhaps, a like destiny with themselves.
The mission of the dog---I say it with all reverence---is the same as the mission of Christianity, namely, to teach mankind that the universe is ruled by love.
As to those few persons who are not only dogless but dog-haters, they should excite pity rather than resentment. The man who hates a good dog is abnormal, and cannot help it. I once knew such a man, a money-lender long since passed away, whose life was largely a crusade against dogs, carried on through newspapers, pamphlets, and in conversation. He used to declare that he had often been bitten by these animals, and that, on one occasion, a terrier actually jumped on the street-car in which he was riding, took a small piece out of his leg (a mere soupcon, no doubt), and then jumped off,---all without apparent provocation, and in a moment of time. Probably this story, strange at it may sound, was substantially true. The perceptions of the dog are wonderfully acute.
A recent occurrence may serve as the converse of the money-lender's story. A lost collie, lame and nearly starved, was taken in, fed, and cared for, by a household of charitable persons, who, however, did not like or understand dogs, and were anxious to get rid of this one, provided that a good home could be found for him. In the course of a week there came to call upon them in her buggy an old lady who is extremely fond of dogs, and who possesses that combination of a masterful spirit with deep affection which acts like witchcraft upon the lower animals. The collie was brought out, and the story of his arrival was related at length. Meanwhile the old lady and the dog looked each other steadfastly in the eye. "Do you want to come with me, doggie?" she said at last, not really meaning to take him. Up jumped the dog, and sat down beside her, and could not be dislodged by any entreaties or commands,---and all parties were loath to use force. She took him home, but brought him back the next day, intending to leave him behind her. Again, however, the dog refused to be parted from his new and real friend. He bestowed a perfunctory wag of the tail upon his benefactors,---he was not ungrateful; but, like all dogs, he sought not chiefly meat and bones and a comfortable place by the fire, but affection and caresses. The dog does not live that would refuse to forsake his dinner for the companionship of his master.

Chloride is a type of electrolyte . It works with other electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, and carbon dioxide (CO2) to help keep the proper balance of body fluids and maintain the body's acid-base balance.
This article discusses the laboratory test to measures the amount of chloride in the fluid portion (serum) of the blood.
See also:
Serum chloride test
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture .
Your doctor may tell you to temporarily stop taking certain drugs that can affect test results.
Drugs that may increase serum chloride measurements include:
Drugs that may lower serum chloride measurements include:
Never stop taking medication without first talking to your doctor.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of a disturbance in your body's fluid level or acid-base balance.
This test is usually ordered along with other blood tests, such as a basic or comprehensive metabolic panel.
A typical normal range is 96 - 106 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
A greater-than-normal level of chloride is called hyperchloremia. It may be due to:
A lower-than-normal level of chloride is called hypochloremia. It may be due to:
This test may also be done to help rule out or diagnose:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Axt scores seven times for MSOE as Raiders take out Regents
Published: 09/24/2011 |

With speed limiter functionThe MagicSpeed MS 880 relieves the driver on long journeys by automatically keeping a set speed – a comfortable and safe way to avoid exceeding speed limits. It is still possible to accelerate the vehicle for overtaking. Alternatively, you can change to the speed limiter function. In this mode a set speed limit will not be exceeded, even at full throttle. MagicSpeed MS 880 is suitable for all vehicles with electronic accelerator, foranalogue as well as for CAN bus systems. Three control elements are available to suit different vehicle models.Please note that the vehicle-specific cable set for installation of the MS 880 has to be ordered separately.
Please click here to download the "Car specific programme overviewWAECO MagicSpeed MS 880" (PDF file)
Please click here to download the "Diagnostic manualWAECO MagicSpeed MS 880" (PDF file).
For vehicles with vacuum / electric servoTwo comfort models you can rely on: the MagicSpeed MS 400 and MS 700 cruise controls take the horror out of long journeys and speed limits. The MS 400 uses a vacuum servo for linkage to the accelerator cable. The MS 700 was conceived for vehicles without vacuum power source (e.g. petrol engine vehicles with turbo). Both cruise control units automatically adjust to the technical parameters of your vehicle (self-learn technology).
Standard, for universal useWhether driving on long, monotonous roads or on stretches with reduced speed limits – whatever speed you set with the press of a button will be precisely maintained without you having to use the accelerator at all! With your "electronic chauffeur" you can always drive at the speed you want – and never faster than allowed. MagicSpeed MS 50 works with a vacuum servo unit and comes at a truly affordable price.
Control lever or control element Combine the basic module of your choice with the control element that suits your idea of comfort: a control lever fitted to the steering column or a control element integrated in the dashboard.
Installation instructions:Each product comes complete with comprehensive installation instructions with clear diagrams, many tips to make fitting even easier, and a lot of other useful information for optimum use. Your specialist stockist will gladly help you choose a suitable cruise control system for your vehicle (vacuum source, throttle cable/carburet throttle controls).

The H2's respond well to tuning! And look cool too.
SSR's are way cool, and need tuning off the showroom floor.
This 62 has a real ZZ4-430 with TPI injection, the pictures don't do this car justice!
Nice gathering of GTO's!
The CTS-V is really the Caddy that zigs! Picked up 15 rwhp bone stock with tuning.
When one nitrous system isn't enough.....
Scott and his crazy blown 408 Tahoe. All work on this monster by CAM.

1. | kumquat | ||
Someone who takes christianity too seriously or someone who believes all sex is very very wrong. Normal Girl: Oh my god! You see that HOTTIE!?
Kumquat: *crosses self* You slut! Jesus loves you! You will rot in hell! |
2. | Kumquat | ||
A tasty little fruit that looks like a miniature orange. This yummy treat is the result of a horticultural experiment in which a dickweed was crossed with a pussywillow yielding the kumquat. What is this a miniature orange? No it's a kumquat!
3. | kumquat | ||
one wicked sweet fruit. although it's actually kind of bitter. Should I have eaten the kumquat with or without the skin on?
4. | kumquat | ||
Substance released in the form of a bullet (in shape and size) as a person squats on top of his/her partner's face; may be fruity in flavour - depends on what materials have been consumed by the kumquatter earlier. Alternatively, a fruit of the Chinese Orange kind. Guy 1: Man, last night I let out a couple of kumquats on her face, and I had eaten a couple of oranges earlier so she started choking - she's allergic to oranges.
Guy 2: Oh no, what happened?! Guy 1: She died. |
5. | kumquat | ||
a young individual who goes through life constantly disappointing people with his/her infinite failures That stupid kumquat just managed to fail at blowing his nose! How does that happen?!
6. | Kumquat | ||
Used as an insult. Person 1: Hey there!
Person 2: Shutup you fucking Kumquat. |
7. | Kumquat | ||
A small, round orange-like fruit that's rather sour. Can eat skin, though. Squeeze out seeds first.
Also can be used to call someone over to you. Julia: KQUM, KUMQUAT!

Damien Oton has finished as runner – up on the Mountain of Hell
Mountain of Hell, by name and by nature.
July 17th - Mountain of Hell, by name and by nature. The contest, which took place in Les Deux Alpes (France) last weekend, is traditionally known for its bitter and, at the same time, spectacular passes (the riders leave from a glacier at an altitude of over 3600 metres), which are the setting of fierce battles among the different riders. The 2012 edition lived up of expectations, and it was characterized by big fights. After the second place gained last year, this year Damien Oton, bearer of athletes equipped with Marzocchis products, has finished as runner up, following up an unlucky contest in which he had to end the race by foot because of the breaking of the rim, finishing in 33:14.974.

But Ward's actions won't amount to much, because there are few boxers who are willing to take the same stance.
Despite the fact that boxing's major sanctioning bodies routinely cheat, manipulate the rankings, strip fighters of titles they won in the ring, coerce them into giving up their fight-worn equipment and almost daily break their own rules, boxers are desperate to have them.
Few boxers are willing to take a stand like Ward did and tell these morally and ethically bankrupt grounds to get lost. It's going to take fighters like Floyd Mayweather Jr., Wladimir Klitschko, Canelo Alvarez, Juan Manuel Marquez and other high-profile boxers to follow Ward's lead for his action to have any kind of an impact.
Rest assured, though, that's not going to happen in our lifetime.

Ten Second Review
Small and tough, Suzuki's now smarter-looking Jimny is an ultra-compact 4x4 with genuine character. It's feeling its age in terms of ride, handling and refinement but it's hard to grumble at the prices being asked. Although running costs are quite high, the Jimny is still just about the cheapest viable off-roader on the market.
Small cars are where it's at just at present. Supermini sales are buoyant but it's tiny citycars and compact 4x4s that are really attracting the attention of buyers. All of which would seem to promise a bright future to a contender that can claim to satisfy customers in both camps; a car like Suzuki's Jimny.
It's been around for a while but the Japanese brand reckons that this is still a real alternative to that little hatchback you were going to buy. A vehicle small enough to fit into the tightest space (it's only 55mm longer than a Ford Ka). A vehicle cheap to buy and run and yet a vehicle that can hold its own off-road and give you that commanding over-the-hedgerow driving position you've always wanted.
Driving Experience
In town, that high seating position and excellent all-round visibility make it great for nipping in and out of traffic. The 1.3-litre all-aluminium 16v engine is in its element here too. On the open road, however, it can sound a little stretched due to the fact that most of its 85 braked horses are not available until you get the engine singing right up at 6,000rpm. Handling around twisty tarmac is not as accomplished as the sharpest superminis, but it's quite good enough to satisfy most. Besides, there's always the bonus, denied to conventional road users, that when the fancy takes you, the muddy stuff beckons. Four-wheel drive is selectable via Suzuki's 'Drive Select' system, a surprisingly painless operation that can be accomplished whilst on the move.
Over reasonably rough terrain, the little Suzuki inspires confidence, thanks to its tough ladder frame chassis, a standard design feature that many small off-roaders lack and which renders many virtually useless for real off-road work. You'll have to accept, however, that the Jimny won't ultimately have the wherewithal to reach the places that larger off roaders can. At least not in normal circumstances. Over in Iceland, they prefer light, simple little 4x4s like this because they don't sink into the snow: in soft boggy conditions here, it might well be the same. One drawback of all this off roading prowess is that it necessitates a harder, more jiggly ride. Again, it's not something that will bother you too much on short journeys, where the light steering, progressive brakes and smooth gearchange make the little Suzuki easy to live with.
Design and Build
At first glance, the Jimny looks to be designed more for the mud than the metropolis. Flared wheelarches, bulky side panels, roof rails and that spare wheel on the tailgate give it a purposeful look intended to reflect a 'rugged personality'. Design revisions to this current version include a smarter front bumper and grille design, a sleeker design bonnet shape incorporating a central air intake, plus repositioned front fog lamps. The revised front bumper design has resulted in a slight increase in overall length of 30mm to 3,675mm - although the Jimny easily remains the most compact SUV on sale in the UK.
Underneath all that, however, it's all surprisingly car-like. Instead of the 'garden shed' aerodynamics favoured by most off roaders, the slippery body has a drag coefficient comparable with that of a normal family hatchback.
The cabin, though dominated by grey plastic, is equally user-friendly, with a neat, simple layout that will confuse no one capable of operating a payphone. For a small car, the driving position is excellent, accommodating for anyone up to a six-footer, with plenty of head and legroom. Automatic transmission-equipped models get a different centre console and gear selector gate, while both manual and automatic models now feature push button selection of the four-wheel drive system, located below the heating controls.
Market and Model
The standard SZ3 trim level comes with power-assisted steering, front electric windows, electric mirrors, radio/CD player, ABS and EBD, selectable four-wheel drive with high and low ratios and automatic free wheeling hubs, front seatbelt pretensioners and driver and front passenger airbags. You can, however, get a SZ4 which improves the look of the Jimny with various styling accessories as well as adding air-conditioning and part-leather trim.
For the interior, a smarter seat fabric trim has been adopted for the entry-level SZ3 variant; both SZ3 and SZ4 models have redesigned front and rear headrests as well as ISOFIX child seat mountings fitted as standard to the rear seats.
In true Suzuki style, you can also jazz up your Jimny by choosing from a huge accessory range. Front guards, alloy wheels, grille covers and surrounds for the multi-reflector headlamps are amongst the obvious add-ons. If you really must, there are also rear spoilers, body graphics and 'themed' spare wheel covers (!). Bear in mind, however, that these things are likely to do little for residual values when the time comes to sell.
Cost of Ownership
The 1.3-litre engine can only manage 39.8mpg. This is largely thanks to the weight of those 4x4 mechanicals but it's not the most modern powerplant either. CO2 emissions are correspondingly high at 162g/km and 167g/km for the automatic. Buyers will also have to shoulder some fairly hefty depreciation but can claw some cash back via the group 14-15 insurance.
Suzuki's Jimny could be viewed as one of the most interesting budget small car choices on the market or as a bargain basement off-road tool. It will appeal to buyers of both persuasions because despite being more than a little rough around the edges, the little Suzuki has character and real ability, which is rare in cars costing twice as much.
If you're really likely to use the car's off roading ability, it makes far more sense than a traditional small hatchback, particularly as it can also perform that role to quite a competent standard. Even if you're not, as long as space and pace don't rank as crucial virtues, the Jimny's well worth considering as something a little different.

NGE >> History and Archaeology >> Civil Rights and Sunbelt Georgia, 1945-1990 >> People >> Rosalynn Carter (b. 1927) |
Rosalynn Carter (b. 1927) Rosalynn Carter, wife of the thirty-ninth U.S. president, Jimmy Carter,
She was born Eleanor Rosalynn Smith on August 18, 1927, in Plains, the daughter of Wilburn Edgar Smith, an auto mechanic and farmer, and Frances Allethea Murray, a dressmaker. As a child she was shaped by strong religious and family values and an early acceptance of hard work and responsibility. When her father died of leukemia at age forty-four, thirteen-year-old Rosalynn helped her mother tend house and care for her siblings and relatives. She graduated as valedictorian from Plains High School in 1944 and studied at Georgia Southwestern College (later Georgia Southwestern State University). In 1946 she married her high school classmate Jimmy Carter, after he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. The Carters' three sons were born in different navy ports: John William in 1947, in Portsmouth, Virginia; James Earl III in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1950; and Donnel Jeffrey in 1952, in New London, Connecticut. Their only daughter, Amy Lynn, was born in 1967, in Plains. Upon the death of Jimmy's father in 1953, Rosalynn returned with her husband to Plains, where she helped him run the Carter family's peanut-farming business and played key roles in his successful political campaigns for the Georgia senate (1963-67), the Georgia governorship (1971-75), and finally the U.S. presidency (1977-81). Political Spouse As Georgia's first lady, Rosalynn Carter advanced many charitable causes.
She worked to create what she described as "a more caring society," fostering programs and services not only for people with mental illness but also for senior citizens, women, and disenfranchised groups. She lobbied vigorously for the Equal Rights Amendment, mobilized a worldwide coalition to raise tens of millions of dollars for refugees in Cambodia, and brought together all the advocacy organizations for the elderly at a White House roundtable discussion on aging. In addition to fulfilling the traditional demands of official White House hostess, she helped to shape the role of the modern first lady as a partner with the president, becoming the first presidential spouse to carry a briefcase to her White House office. Noting her singular tenacity and southern gentleness, the media dubbed her a "steel magnolia." Post–White House Years After the Carters left the White House in 1981, they pursued careers as writers and professors and in 1982 founded the Carter Center in Atlanta.
As emissaries for the center, the Carters have traveled throughout the world, leading campaigns to eradicate Guinea worm disease and increase agricultural production in Africa, monitoring elections in new democracies, promoting human rights, and helping to resolve conflicts. Rosalynn Carter accompanied the former president and served as his advisor on high-profile peace negotiations in Bosnia, Sudan, Ethiopia, and North Korea. She also oversees the center's mental health program, which combats the stigma against mental illness and promotes improved mental health care, chairs the Carter Center Mental Health Task Force of eminent persons in the field, and each year brings together leaders of national mental health organizations to foster consensus on pivotal issues. Lending her voice to many important causes, Rosalynn Carter also promotes early childhood immunization through the nationwide "Every Child by Two" campaign,
Since leaving the White House, Carter has published four books: her autobiography, First Lady from Plains (1984); with Jimmy Carter, Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life (1987); and with Susan K. Golant, Helping Yourself Help Others: A Book for Caregivers (1994) and Helping Someone with Mental Illness: A Compassionate Guide for Family, Friends, and Caregivers (1998). In 1989 she received a Governor's Award in the Humanities. In 2001, a year before her husband won the Nobel Peace Prize, Rosalynn Carter became only the third first lady named to the National Women's Hall of Fame, joining the company of such women of achievement as Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt.

In just 60 days, the 2012 Give! Campaign smashed through what we thought was an ambitious goal of raising $800,000 for 58 mostly very small nonprofits serving the Pikes Peak Region. In addition, they reaped the benefits of appearing in more than 250 TV, radio and print features, courtesy of the Colorado Springs Independent and our 22 outstanding media partners. We're chalking Give! 2012 up as a huge success, and we absolutely could not have done it without you!
Interested in participating in Give! 2013? Application information for nonprofits will be published in the Independent in early March. We encourage businesses, foundations and individuals curious about supporting the campaign to contact the Give! team via firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks for giving us your birth year. There is a special matching grant available to the organization in each category that garners the most donations from folks in their 20's and 30's. One of the big focuses of this campaign is to encourage younger citizens to become more active donors.
When Give! ends at the stroke of midnight, December 31, 2012, our goal is to have raised more than $800,0000 -- that's $100,000 more than we raised last year. To help us on our way, generous local businesses, foundations and individuals have pledged more than a quarter million dollars in Matching Grants and Friendly Competition Awards for our 58 participating nonprofits.

Harmony Islands Marine Provincial Park (Albert Normandin photo)
Ocean kayaking, lake paddling, whitewater kayaking... for kayak and canoe enthusiasts, British Columbia's spectacularly scenic regions offer adventures for all skill levels.
BC is one of the world's premier ocean kayaking destinations, thanks to its jagged coastline and many islands, inlets, and coves. Kayakers enjoy easy-to-challenging waters and myriad wildlife viewing opportunities. Orcas, as well as grey and humpback whales, are commonly seen during their migration seasons. Watch for marine birds, seals, otters and porpoises too.
Launch from Deep Cove or False Creek near Vancouver's urban environment, or kayak through the isolated Broken Group Islands off Vancouver Island's west coast.
Prefer canoeing? Head to the renowned Bowron Lakes Canoe Circuit in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region. Or try the Thompson Okanagan's Wells Gray Provincial Park, laden with gorgeous waterfalls, and home to Murtle Lake, which boasts 100km/62mi of shoreline.
Meanwhile, whitewater kayakers flock to the legendary Stikine River in Northern BC and the Sunshine Coast's Skookumchuck Narrows.

Paddling hotspots on Vancouver Island's west coast include the Broken Group Islands and Clayoquot Sound. The Gulf Islands archipelago and Nanaimo are popular destinations on the east coast. Near Vancouver, Bowen Island provides the gateway into island-dotted Howe Sound, with the neighbouring Sunshine Coast communities of Sechelt and Gibsons and Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park (near Powell River) close by.
Heading north, the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast's popular areas are along the lush, pristine coastline around Klemtu, Bella Bella and the Hakai Luxvbalis Conservancy Area. Paddlers can truly escape in remote areas around Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) in Northern British Columbia.
For convenient paddling near the city, Vancouver offers the protected waters of Deep Cove, False Creek and Jericho Beach. Victoria offers paddling directly from the Inner Harbour. Explore the Gorge Waterway and nearby Discovery Island Marine Provincial Park.
The BC Marine Trails Network is an informative resource for kayakers, offering an interactive map, suggested paddling areas, and a list of marine access points and campsites along BC's coastline.
Love freshwater paddling? The Bowron Lakes Canoe Circuit, a 116km/72-mi chain of four lakes in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region, is arguably BC's best-known canoe route.
In the Thompson Okanagan region, Wells Gray Provincial Park offers excellent lakes, wildlife and waterfall viewing and includes Murtle Lake, North America's largest paddle-only lake.
Nation Lakes Canoe Circuit draws paddlers to Northern British Columbia. The four pristine lakes that make up this chain are considered an undiscovered jewel.
Another great option is the Powell Forest Canoe Route, located on the Sunshine Coast in the Vancouver, Coast & Mountains region. It's a gorgeous circuit of eight lakes and five portages with 57km/35mi of paddling.
BC's whitewater crown jewel is located in Northern BC on the Stikine River, called "the river of a lifetime" by world kayak freestyle champion Olli Grau. Known as one of North America's greatest whitewater challenges and best pure class V whitewater rivers, the Stikine was first run by kayaking legend Rob Lesser in 1981. The Grand Canyon of the Stikine has sheer, 1,000ft walls and is considered unnavigable except at low water flows (normally in August or September). It's only been successfully run by the world's most accomplished whitewater paddlers.
Northern BC also has the pristine ecosystem of the Tatshenshini-Alsek river system, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and kayaker's delight.
BC is famous for another kind of whitewater challenge – surfing the standing waves at saltwater tidal rapids. Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park, on the Sunshine Coast in the Vancouver, Coast & Mountains region, is popular with expert kayakers and spectators. The consistent and thrilling rapids and the tide change that happens between the Sechelt and Jervis Inlet, easy put-ins, and stunning scenery make Skookumchuck an exciting area to explore.
A guided tour is a good option for first-time paddlers or those unfamiliar with BC's waters, as some of the best paddling takes place in more remote locations. Tours range from short, half-day adventures to 10-day wilderness excursions. Canoe and kayak rentals are widely available at beaches, in lodges, and in cities.
Year-round whitewater kayaking lessons of varying durations and for all levels are available in BC. Courses feature certified instructors. Paddlers can bring their own equipment, or, depending on the operator, all gear and safety equipment may be provided, offering a safe, easy introduction to the sport.

""Superb Value""
Just returned from a two night stay at the Rosedene. The guesthouse was immaculately presented and spotlessly clean. Our room (2) had a four poster bed, sitting area, patio door leading to outside area and a large ensuite bath/shower. Tracey and Mike are very friendly and Tracey in particular gave us some good information on the local area. The breakfast […] was great and really sets you up for the day. I can honestly say we have not stayed in a better guesthouse than the Rosedene and at £65 a night it represents fantastic value for money. We would not hesitate to recommend this establishment to anyone considering a few days in this area 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Good, clean and VERY reasonably priced. Breakfast was great, but would have liked more than one piece of toast. Was offered WiFi and fresh milk upon my arrival.

Losing liberty: Exposing Obama's shell game
"Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?"
— Thomas Jefferson
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
— Patrick Henry
Liberty is always tenuous. Those who enjoy it seem to be a minority in the world. That's why liberty must not only be preserved by those who currently benefit from it; it must also be fought for and constantly renewed for future generations, because there are always those who wish to restrict or eliminate our freedoms.
The Obama administration's ham-fisted attempt to require that contraceptives and abortifacients be offered to employees of Catholic and other religious institutions is a serious threat to our civil liberties. Yes, federal (through EEOC oversight) and state governments already play this role and have for a time. According to the Guttmacher Institute, "Some 28 states have mandated coverage of birth control and 20 of those have some sort of exemption for religious employers." New York and California are among the 28. But do we really want government to continue to take the place of individual conscience? Should government continue to dictate to its citizens how to order and conduct their lives?
But wait. Didn't President Obama give in to the concerns of Roman Catholic bishops by excusing Catholic institutions from paying for contraceptives and "morning-after" pills for their employees? Not exactly. The president disingenuously shifted the burden to insurance companies, which have now been ordered to offer the pills "free" to any employee who wants them.
Nothing is "free." The cost will eventually be added to the price of the policies, which the employer will wind up paying for anyway. The cost will then be passed along to the employee.
The bishops weren't fooled. After initially expressing "cautious optimism" over the administration's "first step in the right direction," they issued a statement, reports the Wall Street Journal, saying they still have "serious moral concerns" and cannot support the announced compromise, despite the fact that many thousands of religious institutions will be exempted from the mandate.
This issue was always about more than contraceptives and who pays for them. It is about individual liberty and whether the government under "Obamacare" has the constitutional right to dictate to private businesses and church-related entities when such orders violate conscience and religious beliefs. Would the administration also order a conscientious objector to engage in combat? It's the same principle. Continued...
If the administration can get away with this, there will be no stopping it. If government can force an insurance company or institution to pay for a birth-control pill or a morning-after pill, it can, under the same authority, conceivably force them to pay for a euthanasia pill for those others have deemed unfit to live.
Too extreme? Most inhumanities begin with extremes. What is to stop the government from such behavior? If the Constitution's protection of religious freedom is to be annulled, along with the already voided "endowed" right to life written into the Declaration of Independence, by what moral or legal authority can anyone stop government from doing anything? This is more than a slippery slope; this is an avalanche and it threatens our most fundamental rights, without which we morph into something other than the America we have known.
Responding to the president's remarks in which he pulled back on his insurance company mandate, Amy Ridenour, chair of the National Center for Public Policy Research, weighing in on the cost of providing contraceptive benefits, said, "Here's the problem: The 'savings' substantially comes from pregnancy avoidance. That's what religious-based opponents of the birth control/early abortifacient mandate objected to in the first place."
There are two possible remedies: A decision expected this spring by the Supreme Court that Obamacare is unconstitutional, or a complete repeal of the health-care law, which would require a Republican Congress and a Republican president.
What other liberties does the Obama administration want to subvert? In his Super Bowl Sunday interview with NBC's Matt Lauer, President Obama appeared to complain about the Founding Fathers, whom he suggested, "...designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change that I would like sometimes." It's called the separation of powers, Mr. President, and it was created to protect the nation from a dictatorial executive branch.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Mark Sanchez or Tim Tebow, play-action pass, run or wildcat formation: Mario Williams isn't worried about what the New York Jets might have in store for the Buffalo Bills defense this weekend.
Whatever it might be, the defensive end can't see how it'll slow the Bills' new-look and high-priced pass rush.
"No, no, no," Williams said Wednesday, dismissively shaking his head.
The Bills' season-opener at the Meadowlands Sunday has Williams eager to finally start earning the six-year, $100 million contract — the richest awarded to an NFL defensive player — he signed in March.
"The biggest thing is it's finally a chance to get out there and play," he said. "I'm really excited about it. It's been a long time. It's time to get out here with these guys and really get after it."
And it doesn't matter to Williams that Jets coach Rex Ryan has already promised to unveil Tebow and the wildcat formation after keeping it under wraps throughout the preseason.
"We'll be the first ones to face it, obviously, but it's one of those things that we've got to be able to adjust quickly depending on what they do and come out with," Williams said. "At the end of the day, as long as you hit the quarterback and get him down, you can do what you want to do."
At 6-foot-6 and 292 pounds, Williams provides the Bills' once-porous and patchwork defense a huge presence and a new pass-rushing dimension. Aside from allowing a franchise-worst 5,938 yards last year, Buffalo managed just 29 sacks last season — 10 of them coming in one game. The Bills' pass rush has been so anemic, they haven't averaged more than two sacks a season since finishing with 40 in 2006.
That has a great potential to change. A week after signing Williams three days into free agency, the Bills added another pass-rushing specialist, defensive end Mark Anderson a week later.
In making the switch to a 4-3 defensive system, the line is anchored by tackles Kyle Williams, who has looked rejuvenated after having season-ending foot surgery, and Marcell Dareus, who is coming off a solid rookie season.
The line showed glimpses of its havoc-creating potential during Buffalo's third preseason game against Pittsburgh. Dareus and Kyle Williams twice collapsed the pocket to flush quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was then sacked by Mario Williams.
"It's a little spooky," Dareus said of how well the line worked, because it makes him even more eager to start the season. "This is where we make the money. This is what they pay us the big bucks for. They made a great investment on the front four, and I'm pretty sure we won't disappoint them."
Expectations are certainly high in Buffalo as a result of Super Mario, who's addition was regarded as a sign of how serious the Bills are in their bid to end a 12-year playoff drought — the NFL's longest active streak. Williams was selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft by Houston. In six seasons with the Texans, Williams was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and set the franchise record with 53 sacks.
And he returns healthy after missing the final 11 games of last season with a chest injury, while also driven to make a good impression in making his debut.
"I really don't get nervous, but it does feel like my rookie year all over again," Williams said. "I'm pretty sure it'll be a little bit of anxiety, but it'll be fine."
Williams and Co. have certainly captured Ryan's attention in New York.
"Oh shoot, I was like 'Oh no, please don't,'" Ryan said, regarding his initial thoughts when learning Williams was considering signing in Buffalo. "I can tell you this, our tackle's probably not sleeping very well this week, there's no doubt. I know I wouldn't be if I had to go against him."
And yet, Ryan sees an upside to Williams joining the AFC East, because he also has the potential to play havoc with the Jets' opponents, such as the Patriots.
"If we can survive the two weeks against him, it would be a positive in that he gets to go hit Tom Brady," Ryan said.

CHICAGO — State of economy most influential issue in helping respondents decide how to vote
CHICAGO — If U.S. voters side with the majority of institutional and industrial laundry managers and administrators who responded to October's AmericanLaundryNews.com Wire survey, Mitt Romney will be elected the 45th president of the United States next month.
Roughly 62% of Wire subscribers (which include personnel from institutional/OPL, cooperative, commercial and industrial laundries) polled in the anonymous, unscientific survey say they are supporting the Republican ticket of Romney and running mate Paul Ryan. Roughly 15% are supporting Democratic incumbents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and 23.1% are not sure at this time. No one who took the survey said they would not be voting for president, or that they are supporting a third-party or write-in candidate.
The state of the economy will be most influential in helping 50% of respondents decide how to cast their vote next month. (Respondents were asked to pick one issue from a list of 19, including "other.") Next is debt management (selected by 23.1%) and "other" (chosen by 7.7%; most said they would be influenced by multiple issues). Equal shares of 3.8% see the environment/global warming, foreign policy, healthcare, party affiliation, or taxes as the issue that will most influence their decision.
No matter who is elected next month, they will have a lot of work to do. Regardless of who's elected, what is the one issue that you think the administration must address immediately?
Among respondents, their answers most often related to the economy, government spending and job creation. Some examples:
While the Wire survey presents a snapshot of readers' viewpoints at a particular moment, it should not be considered scientific.
Subscribers to Wire e-mails—distributed twice weekly—are invited to take the industry survey anonymously online each month. All managers and administrators of institutional/OPL, cooperative, commercial and industrial laundries are encouraged to participate, as a greater number of responses will help to better define operator opinions and industry trends.
