a piece on tour gifts
someone recently messaged me asking what gifts a band might enjoy from fans while on tour and i thought it was a great opportunity to shed some light on the subject. personally, of the gifts i've received, i preferred the gift cards to places like subway or starbucks. these are not my favorite places. i dislike mostly everything about these places but because driving through america on tour, theseare usually your only decent options. this fact, to some, can be one of the most annoying things about touring and not having to spend tour income on this inevitability lessens the blow and getting to use the gift card from you, the fan, is a nice reminder of why we, the band, would subject ourselves to this "unconventional" lifestyle. additionally, getting to pick what and when you eat is significantly better than being faced with the daunting task of eating 50 unhealthy brownies before they go bad in 3 or 4 days. bands are already unhealthy enough, no more dessert please. if you still want to gift food, make it something they can throw in the van then open, share and finish in one sitting without creating a big mess. again, healthier options preferred. some delicious nuts or seeds might be nice, unsalted of course. no more chips or candy please, gas stations are full of those things. tea is also a good option, throat coat is cool but nothing beats a cup of chamomile to calm your nerves on the 8th hour of a 12 hour drive to the next destination. well maybe one or 2 things could beat it. other gifts like arts and crafts are very thoughtful but have almost no chance of surviving more than a few hundred miles before they're unrecognizable due to the chaotic nature of the van, so keep that in mind. finally and most importantly, the best way to support the artists you love is by going to their shows, buying their stuff and sharing their work with everyone you think might enjoy it. thanks for reading.
writers note: the last tour i did, i brought a cooler so i could bring fresh foods on long drives and it worked great, so forget what i said about the gift cards to corporate conglomerates. damn the man!

The Mind is a Scary Place
- Thursday, August 01, 2013
The mind is a scary place—don't go in alone. Reaching out for help is not optional, because alone we have a tendency to spin, twist, fabricate, distort and generally make a mess out of things. The Apostle Paul knew this and exhorted us to "carry each other's burdens, and in this way fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2) Others will not only make our burdens lighter, but offer us a fresh perspective of the challenges we face.

Canadian small-group adventure travel tour operator G Adventures announces the collaboration with the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), member of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB). The $1 million multi-year partnership will finance and develop a sustainable community-based tourism (CBT) program in Central & South America. This is the first time the MIF has ever partnered with a tour operator on tourism development, employing a unique, socially driven business model to improve social enterprise in tourism.
The aim of the project is to increase the competitiveness of micro and small enterprises (MSE) by optimizing their market access and efficiency in the tourism value chain. By partnering with a global tour operator on product development efforts, MSEs will gain access to a ready market, capabilities and the tools to serve the market demand.
"Tourism is one of the largest industries on the planet. Vital to the livelihood of 85 per cent of developing nations, it creates employment opportunities, battles poverty and strengthens economies," says Paula Vlamings, Executive Director, Planeterra. "Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on developing CBT worldwide with little benefit to the hosting communities. The tourism industry has not traditionally been involved in international development activities. Where it has, it was only engaged at the very end, yielding high failure rates and unsuccessful projects. In order for CBT development to be sustainable and effective, the private sector, specifically tour operators that possess the market power, must be engaged at the beginning and throughout the entire process."
Managed by the tour operator's corporate foundation, Planeterra, the program is being implemented in four destinations where G Adventures and other tour operators direct a high flow of travellers through organized tours – Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Peru. Within each country, CBT products, services and small businesses will be developed in communities that have not historically benefited from the travel industry active in their country. The initiative will also provide the hosting communities with social and environmental grants to promote sustainable, long-term solutions.
"We're thrilled to be collaborating with the MIF on this exciting initiative. It's a testament to the positive impact travel can have on the lives of rural communities around the world when the power of the tourism engine is harnessed effectively. In addition to generating market demand in the regions, the program will stimulate local economic growth to ultimately preserve the cultures of these beautiful destinations," says Bruce Poon Tip, Founder, G Adventures. "Not only will these tourism initiatives benefit the local communities, travellers will have the unique opportunity to experience meaningful and enriching cultural exchanges with indigenous people. The project is a perfect fit for us at G Adventures as we evolve more and more into a social enterprise."
"Industry leader G Adventures is the ideal partner for this project. Their approach to sustainable tourism, coupled with their operations experience and marketing expertise will undoubtedly provide the much-needed demand and market to ultimately bring visitors to the tourism projects," says Betsy Murray, MIF Senior Specialist. "We hope this initiative will motivate other institutions in the donor community and tour operators to collaborate to find sustainable solutions in the tourism industry."
MIF Projects
Five main hub CBT initiatives are being developed to serve as the principal elements to which other micro and small businesses will be linked, expanding the economic opportunities in each of the communities touched by the project.
"The anticipated results of this intervention include an estimated 40 per cent increase in occupancy/visitation of businesses in the project. In cases where businesses will go from zero or negligible customers to 50-100 travellers a week, the percentage of revenue increase will be much higher," explains Vlamings. "These will not be CBT businesses that sit unused, providing no benefits – they will be profitable from the start due to their collaboration with a global travel company."
1. Coffee cooperative tour and restaurant, San Miguel de Sarapiqui, Costa Rica
2. Community homestay accommodation, San Juan La Laguna, Guatemala
3. Community farm-to-table restaurant, Sacred Valley, Peru
4. Community homestay accommodation, Ometepe Island, Nicaragua
5. Community-owned & managed campsite for trekkers, Lares Valley, Peru
Within each of these communities, further micro & small businesses will be developed and connected to each hub CBT enterprise. At least three MSEs will be developed and serve as providers of supplementary services such as tours, agriculture and food suppliers, laundry, theatre and more. Each of the MSEs will receive small grants as seed funding and training to launch their businesses.
For more information please visit www.planeterra.org.

HICKMAN, Ky. (AP) -- Police in western Kentucky have sent what they believe to be the skeletal remains of a man to Louisville for examination.
Fulton Police Chief Terry Powell told The Paducah Sun officers found the remains after a neighbor found the body inside a home in far western Kentucky on Tuesday.
An initial investigation led police to believe the skeleton was of a male.
Powell said Fulton police -- along with the Kentucky State Police crime response unit and Fulton County coroner -- opened an investigation. The remains were sent to the Kentucky State Police crime lab for testing to determine the cause of death.

It's a common question when you set out on a trip; do I need to take a travel first aid kit? OK, maybe not if you're off to gay Paris for the weekend, but in areas where medical facilities aren't on the same level as in the UK it's a sensible question. It's always a good idea to have first aid equipment when travelling, but if visits are planned to remote areas, where medical facilities may be inadequate, you should take a sterile travel first aid kit containing needles and syringes.
In many countries rates of infection with blood borne viruses such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C are higher than in the UK. Some countries do not have the same standards as in the UK and equipment used may not be adequately sterilised, blood used for transfusions may not be screened for HIV, Hepatitis B and C. In these situations, a sterile travel first aid kit may prove vital if you are seriously injured.
Minor injuries:
You should be carrying adequate supplies so you can self-treat common traveller ailments, such as cuts, grazes and burns. In hot climates where there may be dust or poor hygiene you are more susceptible to infection. Wounds should be cleaned immediately, covered and if any signs of infection develop you should seek urgent medical help.
Even if you are ultra ultra careful and manage to avoid any sort of dangerous situation, accidents can still happen and you can still fall ill. You might fall off your bike, slip off a kerb and twist your ankle, or just catch a good old fashioned tummy bug. Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that will adequately cover you in the event that you get sick or injured. Pre-existing medical conditions must be disclosed to your insurance company, as non-disclosure could invalidate your claim.
Make sure your insurance covers you for all the activities you wish to experience on your travels and includes cover for medical evacuation, personal injury and terrorist activity. A frightening statistic is that only 60% of insurance policies cover terrorism, so make sure you read the small print and have adequate cover.
What does my travel first aid kit need to contain?
The exact contents will vary depending on your specific requirements. Things to consider adding to your travel first aid kit include:
Emergency Medications: antibiotics for wound infections, pain killers, prescribed medications should all be kept in their original packaging.
Diarrhoea Treatment: oral rehydration salts, especially for children. Antidiarrhoeal tablets can be purchased from your local pharmacy or travel clinic. Alcohol hand gel can be useful for when there are no hand washing facilities available.
Injuries: gauze swabs and dressings.
Lotions: ointments to treat eye infections can be purchased from your local pharmacy, an antibiotic ointment for skin infections such as fucidin and a cream to apply to burns may be useful. An antihistamine cream is useful for treating rashes and insect bites.
Equipment: tweezers, safety pins, sterile gloves, a digital thermometer, tick removers, scissors.
Mosquitoes: mosquito nets, insect repellents (especially if travelling to areas where malaria and other mosquito borne diseases are present).
Sterile Equipment: sterile needles and syringes, intravenous cannula for a drip, suture material for sewing up skin. These should be in a specially designed kit. It's advisable to get these in a specially prepared sterile first aid kit. This should contain a declaration signed by a doctor that the syringes are intended for medical use. This should reassure customs officials that you are not a drug addict and, in an emergency, can also be used to explain to foreign doctors what the kit is for.
Documentation: first aid book, details of blood group and regular medication, copies of prescriptions if carrying prescribed medication.

Northwestern hosted 2014 guard Shane Evans (Crystal Lake, Ill./Prairie Ridge High School) two weeks ago for the Iowa game. He is a player who has visited at Michigan State in the past.
Wisconsin received a verbal commitment from 2013 running back Corey Clement (Glassboro, N.J./Glassboro High School) last Friday. He visited Nebraska Aug. 31 and Notre Dame Sept. 21, but his Oct. 19 visit to Wisconsin impressed him to end his recruiting process for now. He also held offers from Iowa, Ohio State, Penn State and Purdue, among others.
Notre Dame received a verbal commitment from 2013 cornerback Cole Luke (Chandler, Ariz./Hamilton High School) last Thursday. He held offers from Michigan, Nebraska, and Purdue, outside of several other offers from elite BCS conference teams.
Purdue had junior athlete Dekota Jones (Louisville, Ky./St. Xavier High School) on its visit list this weekend. Ball State is also showing interest in him this year.

The Michael Jackson Estate is lashing out at MSNBC -- saying it's "disgusted" with the network for planning to air the Conrad Murray documentary this weekend.
The Estate issued a statement ... saying, "Like so many of Michael's fans, the Estate is also disgusted by MSNBC's irresponsible and inexplicable decision to air a Conrad Murray 'documentary.'"
The statement continued, "The Co-Executors, John Branca and John McClain, are sending a letter to the top executives at Comcast, NBC Universal and MSNBC to express their disdain for their actions."
The MJ fans are predictably up in arms as well -- in fact, the group, "Justice 4 MJ" is trying to organize a global boycott of the documentary, "Michael Jackson and The Doctor: A Fatal Friendship" ... saying, "The only documentary we want to see is the one of Murray enjoying prison life."
10:40 AM: Jermaine Jackson just tweeted, "I hear all upset/frustrations re Murray doc. It's shameless & sickens me too, but I choose not to give it attention/controversy it craves."
They are just upset because they want to be paid.
Now they are selling on ebay the bed where Michael Jackson died of a propofol overdose. That's even more disgusting.
What...only the Jacksons should be allowed to have specials....**** them.....I can't wait to see the special....dr Murray didn't kill Michael.....Michael killed himself, just like Elvis, Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendricks...etc,,,,did anybody go after their drug dealers?...
LOL! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Now one watches that garbage cable channel anyway so no one will see it.
The man has a right to speak, even if you don't want to hear what he has to say.
When is it airing? I do NOT want to miss this.
"I told da toorth."
And yet the "family" was perfectly OK with having MJ "sleep" in the same bed with prepubescent boys for decades ... That is what is really disgusting ...
I don't mind them airing it but I suspect they paid Murray for it, which is troubling. Whoever said crime doesn't pay was nuts.
It's strange when a drug addicted child molester is the most morally upstanding member of his family and entourage.
cant wait 2 see
They should be more discusted with any of their do***entarys or interviews, Freak family!
I wasn't planning on watching it. Didn'*****ch the trial. Really don't care about the whole thing. But since "the Estate" thinks it's disgusting, I think I'll give it a try.
Jeeze it wasn't premeditated murder. It's involuntary manslaughter, it is just another story, besides do***entaries have been made of far worse criminals than Dr. Murry. What are they afraid of?
Disgusted over the airing of the Doc yet not so much over the auctioning off of the bed he died in?

Feds Seek Reversal of Equal Credit Opportunity Regulation
July 7, 2008 - 8:02 PM
(CNSNews.com) - The Federal Reserve Board is set to reverse a 25-year-old regulation, in effect forcing banks and financial institutions to record race, ethnic, religion and other personal data on loan applicants - a practice which was banned in an effort to comply with non-discrimination laws.
The Board is currently seeking public comment on its proposed changes to Regulation B, the rule implemented to enforce the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which Congress passed in the 1970s.
According to the Federal Reserve Board, the proposed revisions would "remove the general prohibition against creditors noting characteristics such as race, sex and national origin of applicants for nonmortgage credit." The revisions would also "require creditors to retain certain records for preapproved credit solicitations and expand from 12 to 25 months the record retention period for most business credit applications."
Under ECOA, it is illegal for creditors to discriminate against an applicant on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age or whether a person receives taxpayer-funded welfare. The intent behind Regulation B was to protect applicants from being denied access to bank loans as a result of their race, gender or religion.
The agency is now seeking to drop its prohibition against collecting on applicant's race, religion, sex and other data, suggesting that returning to pre-1977 practices will allow the government and banking industry to enforce civil rights laws, specifically, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA).
But some government watchdog groups aren't fully convinced that moving away from the regulation is in the best interest of consumers.
"Our privacy will be severely compromised by the Fed's turnabout on Regulation B," said Lisa S. Dean, Vice President of Technology Policy at the Free Congress Foundation. "Now banks could reject your loan application just because you are the 'wrong' sex, have the 'wrong' skin color, or believe in the 'wrong' religion."
The Free Congress Foundation was at the forefront of the battle against another Federal Reserve proposal known as the Know Your Customer program, which would have forced banks and financial institutions to police the activities of their customers.
Dean added that reversing Regulation B could create and environment where financial institutions are left to defend themselves against increased legal action.
"Lawsuits will multiply because of this invasion of privacy," Dean said. "Trial lawyers will love the opportunity to prove to a jury that their clients' application was denied because of their race, sex or religion. But I can't imagine that banks would be excited about that scenario."
The American Community Bankers Association (ACB) represents 2,000 savings and community banks and related business firms nationwide. Glenn Gimble, one of ACB's regulatory affairs specialists, suggests the revocation of Regulation B is a step in the wrong direction.
"ACB believes this will lead to additional regulatory burden without any benefit," Gimble told CNSNews.com. "We feel like that the type of info allowed to be collected doesn't have a place in the credit decision process. This is not the type of information that a community bank takes into consideration when determining who is eligible for a loan."
As a former loan officer Gimble said customers are not happy with bank officials asking questions about race, religion, sex and other personal information. "If you talk to consumers, they're offended that the topic even comes up. The relationship between the banker and the customer is soured when they encounter this line of questioning," Gimble added.

My popular Mini Lovey Blankie Menagerie pattern has brought requests for MORE animals. MORE Mini Lovey Blankie Menagerie pattern brings you 6 new animals and 6 new blanket border designs to choose from. And since I've received so many requests to design them knit in-the-round, they're now even quicker to make. Even the mini blanket (12-13" square) is knit in-the-round, so there are lovely even borders all around. The 2 arms are made in all one piece, making them simple and quick, too. They take little yarn, so they're great stash-busters and wonderful craft table items. Definitely make adorable gifts! Whether you choose a lion, puppy, zebra, hippo, mouse or cow, these darling mini blankies are easy grab 'n' go loveys that can fit just about anywhere.
Gauge is not critical for this project. Work tightly enough to ensure that the stuffing will not show through the stitches.

As the Montgomery Biscuits celebrate their 10th anniversary in the Capital City, they're also celebrating increased ticket sales.
Thanks to new promotions introduced at the beginning of the season, marketing directors say people have a renewed interest in visiting Riverwalk Stadium.
Weekend ticket sales are up nearly 40% on some nights. This after owners say ticket sales had seen a decline in previous years.
Freebie Fridays, Thirsty Thursday and a new promotion called Eat-A-Palooza offer chances to win free items, enjoy drink specials and buy a ticket for All You Can Eat ballpark food.
Marking Director David Ruchman says the promotions came as a result of fresh thinking and simply talking with customers. He says customers asked for value when visiting the park and directors say that's what they'll get.

News from Do Ngak Sung Juk in Japan
Do Ngak Sung Juk is the FPMT center in Tokyo, Japan. Center director Doc O'Connor shares news of hosting two esteemed teachers:
Do Ngak Sung Juk in Tokyo had their annual nyung nä with FPMT Taiwan's Ven. Thubten Dechen September 20-23, 2013. The weekend retreat took place at a traditional Japanese inn on Mt. Mitake. Located in a vast national park, Mitake has a mountain shrine that has existed for almost 2,000 years. The inn has catered to pilgrims for decades.
It was good to read Rinpoche's comments about serving delicious food in the recent FPMT newsletter. The inn is known for their exquisite meals and even with the nyung nä meal requirements, they were able to maintain their high standard. So not only during the nyung nä did we experience the suffering of beings in the lower realms, but the limited meals gave us a god realm experience, enabling us to generate compassion and make offerings to beings in all realms.
Do Ngak Sung Juk is grateful to Taiwan's Heruka Center for sharing their invaluable translator with us.
After two years and three postponements, Do Ngak Sung Juk members were happy to have Ven. Tenzin Pemba, co-director of Mahayana Buddhist Association (Cham Tse Ling) in Hong Kong, visit us the weekend of October 19-20, 2013. Ven. Pemba finished teaching the 17-verse The Courageous Hero Gaining Liberation by Overcoming the Fears of the Hazardous Passage of the Intermediate State. At the conclusion of his teachings, we had mixed feelings – happy because we had finished the text, but on the other hand, sad because it is said that an unfinished text creates the cause for the teacher to return.
We hope to purify obstacles and create the karma for more frequent visits by Ven. Pemba to Tokyo. Much, much gratitude to Hong Kong's Mahayana Buddhist Association for sharing their wonderful teacher with Do Ngak Sung Juk.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- The Kentucky State Auditor is set to release a report on the $1.2 billion JCPS budget in the spring, but WHAS11 reporter Renee Murphy is searching for answers now.
Murphy has been investigating the price of education students in the Jefferson County Public School system and last month reported on the lack of funding for textbooks throughout the state.
Recently, she has found such spending as nearly $27,000 spent on a Las Vegas conference and a state park retreat, plus more than $100,000 spent on field trips to the Kentucky Science Center and the Louisville Ballet and the Louisville Orchestra.
Murphy spoke with JCPS officials and teachers and has the latest on this developing story.

Praline-Crusted Cheesecake

AuntJulie Posted: 11/28/11
I agree with Hyacinth - it takes some time, but it's not a difficult recipe. You won't be sorry you put in the time. People tell me this is the best cheesecake they've ever had. And don't cheat - make the pralines. They get crumbled up, so they don't have to be pretty, and they're soooooo good!
Pumpkinsmommy1 Posted: 02/12/12
I've been making this cheesecake for years. Everyone says that this cheesecake is the best they have ever had. It does take work, but not difficult at all. It is so worth the work.
MrsMcNaty Posted: 11/30/13
I slaved for two hours making this masterpiece of pure decadence. You got to put your back into it but you will no doubt relish the results. I made it for Thanksgiving and it was smash across the board with everyone who managed to get a slice of this delicatessen. I am now required by my spouse to deliver this on birthdays and special occasions. I highly recommend you give it a try!

The Enchantments: How I Completely Forgot That I Was in Grad School
By columnist Nate Peters
Awakening to the soft glow of the rising sun through the thin fabric walls of my tent, I take a deep breath of cold air and reluctantly wriggle out of my very warm, lofty down sleeping bag. I am anxious to get my body moving so I throw on some clothes, lace up my boots, and unzip the door of my tent to get my first view of the outside world. Thick mist hangs over the dark, still surface of the lake by which I made my camp the night before. Beyond the water the forms of steep granite peaks blanketed in golden larch trees and spotted with snowdrifts are just becoming visible. The view is like something out of my dreams, something ethereal. All thought of the cold vanishes, my eyes open wide, and I am overwhelmed by a feeling I can only describe as enchantment. I guess this is why they call this place the Enchantment Lakes….
The Enchantment Lakes are a group of alpine lakes nestled in a high mountain basin in the mountains southwest of Leavenworth, WA, and are one of the most beautiful and unique wilderness areas that I have ever visited. The lakes are only accessible from two trailheads, nearly twenty miles apart, and neither trail makes it easy on a hiker whose goal is reaching the Enchantments. The Snow Lakes trail is a long and grueling uphill climb through wildfire-scarred slopes, lush spruce forests, and open granite slabs to reach the base of the lower Enchantments, Lake Vivianne. The Colchuck/Stuart trail starts a bit higher than the Snow Lakes trail and ascends steeply to Colchuck Lake, but that is only half the journey. From Colchuck Lake, which is gorgeous in and of itself and worth an independent visit, to reach the upper Enchantments one has to climb a steep rocky slope over Asgard Pass to reach Tranquility and Isolation Lakes. The trail up the pass may only be 0.9 miles long, but it ascends over 2000 feet over boulder fields and scree slopes and is truly a beast of a climb. Overall, despite the steepness, the Colchuck trail is half as long as the Snow Lakes trail and is my personal recommendation for entering the Enchantments. Besides, that way you get to go downhill the rest of the way.
Once you reach the Enchantments, you will realize what a special and unique place you have reached. The upper Enchantments zone is above the treeline, has standing snow year-round, and almost feels like another planet save for the occasional ground squirrel or lark reminding you that you are still on Earth. As you descend to the middle lakes of the Enchantment Lakes, Inspiration and Perfection, trees will begin to appear along with small alpine meadows and the occasional family of mountain goats. Remember that the animals will leave you alone for the most part, but their diet is lacking in salt and they will jump at any chance to glean excess salt from human urine when it is deposited on the ground. It is also important to remember that the ecosystem at this elevation is very fragile and takes a very long time to recover even from human footsteps, so stay to the trails when possible to avoid trampling the vegetation. Side trails lead off in several directions to more isolated alpine lakes that I have not yet visited, and many of the peaks surrounding the Enchantment Lakes are climbable, some requiring equipment and more experience. In the lower Enchantments you will find yourself at the base of an amazing rock formation known at The Temple, and the lakes in that area, such as Leprechaun and Sprite Lake, are some of my favorite places in the Enchantments. Fishing for trout is possible in many of these lakes as is the occasional swim for the bold, cold-water enthusiasts.
I could spend hours talking about the Enchantments and my adventures there, but that would only leave less for you to discover and experience on your own when you visit (honestly, you have to visit this place at least once in your life if you love being in the outdoors). For a very thorough and informative description of the trail and the lakes as well as the most recent updates from hikers on trail conditions, check out the Washington Trails Association page on the Enchantments (http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/enchantment-lakes). I have never experienced a more peaceful and serene place as the Enchantments, and whether you are staying there for one night or ten, the Enchantments will change the way you look at the world. I guarantee it!
If you do decide to plan a trip to the Enchantments, remember that these lakes are very isolated and the terrain can be very difficult. The area is accessible from only two trailheads, it is snowed in for much of the year, and access is permit-regulated during the summer and fall months when the snow recedes. If you decide to visit earlier in the summer through August, there will be more people generally and the mosquitoes will be worse, but the weather will be warmer and more regular (though it could theoretically snow any day of the year). If you visit in later September or early October, the larch trees will begin to turn gold and there will be fewer mosquitoes present, however the weather will be more unpredictable and you have to be prepared for the worst. The permit regulation for the "open months" can be discouraging and inconvenient because it only allows 15 campers to enter the Enchantments per day, but it helps to maintain this fragile wilderness in its natural state and eliminates many over-crowding issues that would certainly be present otherwise. During the off-season, backcountry skiers and ice climbers can access the Enchantments unhindered by permits, but this should not be attempted by anyone lacking ice and snow traversing experience. Starting in late June and lasting through mid-October, if one wishes to camp in the Enchantments or one of the adjacent zones, one has to obtain a permit through a lottery system. To enter this lottery and have a chance at a permit, one must apply during a 2-week window in February (see website for specific dates: http://www.wta.org/trail-news/signpost/enchantments-permits) and specify number of people, intended entry location, intended duration of stay, etc. There is a fee of X dollars per person per day for the permit and you have to begin your trip on the day for which you apply in the permit. After all the submissions are in, a random lottery assigns permits until 10 spots are filled for a given date, and then 5 more permits are issued each day during the open season to people that show up at the ranger station when it opens. Basically they say you have about a 50/50 chance of getting a permit if you apply. If planning a trip to the Enchantments sounds appealing, be sure to do your research so you don't miss the application window in February and be sure you know what you are doing in the wilderness.
There is so much more that I could say about the Enchantments, so if you would like an earful I would be glad to regale you with stories from my solo trip or my most recent group trip to the Enchantments this last September. Also, if anyone is interested, I am always up for an Enchantments traverse, or "death march", where one hikes he whole trail from Colchuck trailhead to Snow Lakes trailhead in one day (20+ miles). Anyway, here's hoping you all get out there and see one of the most amazing places on earth, just two hours away from where you happen to be attending graduate school.
Until next time….
Nathaniel Peters

These Anniversary Tanka poems are examples of Tanka poems about Anniversary. These are the best examples of Anniversary Tanka poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
God's hand reached through time
dropping brilliance in the night
love's eternal gift
one star named for "my best friend"
our anniversary light
By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders
his hair is grayer
and his skin more wrinkled, but
he's a better friend
than he was the day before --
my anniversary man.
what's the difference
october from september –
is it simply time
to put on a warmer coat,
a condition of one's mind?
what's the difference?
is there a hazy region
a mystic soul's eye,
retreat to inner being,
a sort of hidden season?
all i know is this –
i sense the whole world has changed -
sun less warm, less bright
colors are taken cover,
a sixth sense taken over
our home
of moss-covered
leading path
of missteps
the candle burns low
and an old torch song lingers
as you take my glass
warm eyes that once shied from mine
clearly say it is bedtime
mild weather ahead
so says the news report
except for the wind
that frozen voice from the north
button up then till april
conjure now green vision
how happy those spring sounds
tulips thrusting up
refreshing smell of spring rain
just a winter's nap away

Nashville, Tenne...
This is a dress that I made last weekend in a fit of spring fever. I found the fabric at Joann's as I was attempting to spend a gift card I got for Christmas. It's part of the Lisette spring line, I think. It's just a very lightweight cotton. The dress is fully lined with the muslin I made to test out the pattern, which worked out great since the fabric is kind of transparent. The pattern came from the book The Vintage Pattern Selector by Jo Barnfield. I took two patterns from the book and combined them. I love the book and the patterns in it, but I wouldn't recommend them for someone new to sewing. The instructions are somewhat vague and there's nothing mentioned about the yardages needed or seam allowances, hence the muslin.
Very lightweight cotton for the main fabric and white quilting cotton for the contrasting collar and cuffs.

Lincoln County School officials said students and faculty at South Lincoln Elementary, which was badly damaged in the storm, will report to Flintville Elementary School for the rest of the school year. South Lincoln Elementary will be closed until next school year.
"Flintville students will arrive to school just as they always do in the morning. Their buses will run as normal if the roads are open for them to be traveled. Then, we will get them out of the building or to childcare facilities, and then South Lincoln will come in at 11:30 and they will stay to 3:30," said Lincoln County Director of Schools Dr. Wanda Shelton.
A statement from the school district said, in part: "We are one community, one family, and we were of one heart on this---our team should be together for the next 3 weeks. FES and SLES communities were hard hit and this impacts our feeder schools at NGA LCHS. We have a plan that will work. We want your support. We will have things we have to adjust, but we are working for our students and our community."
Bus drivers are exploring their routes to make sure all the roads are clear. They will do a final drive through Sunday.
School officials are concerned about getting students to school and making them comfortable. End-of-the-year and TCAP testing are scheduled for next week.
"We will be taking Monday and just doing a run through. Monday will be a practice day. How will transportation work? How will the split day work? And on Tuesday we will begin the testing with our social studies test in all our schools county-wide," said Dr. Shelton.
Starting Friday, parents can call their child's school if they have any questions about schedules or transportation.

The National Weather Service said an EF-3 and an EF-2 touched down Monday night in Lincoln County. Two people were killed.

Written by Epic Brewing/MTBracenews.com racer Jen Hanks
Prior to my life as an endurance mountain bike racer, I
competed as an equestrian. In fact, my
accomplishments as an equestrian still far outweigh anything I have done as a
pro mountain biker. All equestrians, no
matter their level, have a trainer (or coach) who not only helps train the
horse but also teaches the rider how to ride the horse. Just like a cyclist, a horseback rider cannot
see what their body positioning and technique is on the horse. This �coach� serves as a set of eyes to
instruct the rider into the correct body positioning. Often a rider will �feel� like they are in a
certain position, however it is glaringly obvious to the coach that they are
not. It is then up to the rider to correctly practice
these techniques. The more a rider practices,
the better rider they become. I
practiced a lot!
Interestingly, when I transitioned to competing as an
endurance mountain bike rider, faster riders told me all I had to do to go
faster was to follow their wheel and try not to crash! This worked to a certain point, but there came
a time where my technical skills plateaued and my race times were not improving. I wanted improvement, and just like when I
was an equestrian, I was willing to work hard and practice. If only I knew how to practice correctly.
In the fall of 2010, I had the opportunity to participate in
and report for MTBRaceNews.com on one of Gene Hamilton�s renowned BetterRide
clinics. The list of downhill and cross
country racers Gene has instructed through his clinics is basically a who�s who of the best technical
riders in the country including Ross Schnell, Greg Minnaar, Sue Haywood, and Sarah Kaufman. I have personally tried to stick with Sarah
on a downhill and it is a difficult feat. The clinic was taught by Andy Winohradsky, one of Gene�s highly talented
instructors. The clinic followed Gene�s
BetterRide curriculum and taught proper positioning on the mountain bike and
provided specific drills that could be practiced at home. Amazingly, but probably not to Gene�s
surprise, after a few months of practicing the drills learned in the clinic, I
took 17% off my pre-clinic downhill time trial.
Since then, my life has taken some unexpected turns and
although I was not able to race in 2010, I did spend my time on the bike
practicing the BetterRide drills and improving my efficiency through better
technique. This year, I am beyond
grateful to be able to return to racing and to have the opportunity to put the
skills learned in the 2010 BetterRide clinic to competitive use. Based
on my race results thus far, it is clear that my technique, efficiency, and
speed have all improved dramatically. On the two racecourses where I can directly
compare pre and post clinic race times, I have improved my respective race
times by two minutes and 15 minutes! There are lots of reasons for my improvement
this year, but I have no doubt that the BetterRide clinic was a significant
I am yet another highly-satisfied BetterRide participant,
however, being a typical racer who is never completely satisfied with my
performance, I feel there are still a few (okay probably more for a few) areas
where I would like to improve my riding technique as well as learn some new
skill sets. If only I had an extra set
of expert eyes to help me fine-tune these techniques. So, I have called on Gene Hamilton again for
a little bit of 1:1 time to help hone some of these skills. I am nervously psyched, but mostly just
psyched, to work directly with Gene. I
am also completely confident that I will gain invaluable skills and be provided
with specific drills to practice that will directly translate to faster race
Check back next week
for a full report from the lesson!

In recent celebrity news, ANNE HATHAWAY admitted that she was once "obsessive" about looking terminally ill for her role in her upcoming film "Les Misérables."
Months before Anne Hathaway started filming the latest movie adaptation of the legendary Broadway epic, "Les Misérables," the actress had to undergo an extreme diet and a drastic hair makeover—which she is planning on keeping—as part of her transformation as Fantine.
Her female role required her to look gaunt as she was portraying a dying prostitute. Shockingly, Anne managed to stick to two thin of dried oatmeal paste a day and lose as much as 25 pounds during filming.
Hathaway shared about the grueling preparation to Vogue's December issue:
"I had to be obsessive about it–the idea was to look near death."
She continued:
"Looking back on the whole experience–and I don't judge it in any way—it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that's who Fantine is anyway."
The actress went on to admit that when she finally finished filming, she was left in a "a state of deprivation — physical and emotional." She revealed:
"When I got home, I couldn't react to the chaos of the world without being overwhelmed. It took me weeks till I felt like myself again. "
Thankfully, her new husband Adam Shulman was there for her. She told the mag:
"He gets what I do and who I am and supports me in it, and that's pretty awesome."
But then again, all her hard work could be worth it because there's already some major Oscar buzz for the one-time Academy Award nominee!
While we wait until we see her in "Les Misérables" on Christmas Day, check out the pics from her Vogue cover shoot with Annie Leibovitz:

Duo set for reserve team run-out on Tuesday.
Leon Osman
Jack Rodwell
Related Links
Leon Osman and Jack Rodwell will return to action when Everton Reserves take on Bolton at Finch Farm this afternoon.
The duo have both been sidelined since the first-team's home defeat to the Trotters in early January and will be keen to prove their fitness with David Moyes' men set to travel to QPR on Saturday.
A piece of floating bone in the knee has kept Osman off duty, while England youngster Rodwell has been hampered by a hamstring problem
But the pair will both start in what is a strong line-up for Alan Stubbs' side.
David Weir, who returned to the Club as a coach last week, makes his second successive start, while there are also places for Magaye Gueye, James McFadden and new signing Francisco Junior.
The former Benfica midfielder agreed a deal to join the Blues on a free transfer earlier this month and has now received international clearance to play.
Marcus Hahnemann will continue in goal after impressing during last week's 1-1 draw at Liverpool, while youngsters Tyias Browning, Ibou Touray and Eric Dier will play in front of the American alongside veteran Weir.
Rodwell, Osman, McFadden, Junior and Gueye will form a midfield five, with Joao Silva set to operate as the lone striker in attack.
Live updates from the game will be available on evertonfc.com and via our official Facebook Fanpage and Twitter feed .
Everton: Hahnemann, Browning, Touray, Junior, Weir, Dier, McFadden, Rodwell, Silva, Osman, Gueye. Subs: Davies, McAleny, Hope, Lundstram, Orenuga
Bolton: Lynch, Riley, Kellett, McQuade, Eckersley, Blakeman, Stayte, Vela, Eaves, Fazlic, Obadeyi. Subs: Dennis, Fielding, Irwin, Odelusi, Lester
