Yes for GR Parks campaign kicks off in Grand Rapids
Caroline MacGregor
September 6, 2013 | WGVU
"being a kid"
Grand Rapids Urban League President, Joe Jones, talking about the need for area children to have a safe place to play, and stay off the streets. As Grand Rapids city parks continue to deteriorate, directly impacting property values and quality of life for residents, funding resources to maintain parks are becoming critical.
Friends of Grand Rapids Parks Executive Director, Steve Faber, who says new investments beyond repairs, include water resources. Most wading pools in city parks have been closed.
"operate better"
Yes GR Parks
proposal before voters on this year's ballot is a seven year property millage of .98 mills to fix the City's park system. About 45-55 percent of the millage would be spent on repairing current park equipment and facilities; 25-35 percent would be invested in new equipment and facilities; and 15-20 percent would keep city pools open longer. A homeowner with a property worth 89,000 dollars, would pay about 44 dollars per year or 3.66 each month.
While he can't say for sure if voters will approve the millage, Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell is hopeful.
Mayor Heartwell was also joined Friday by GRPS Superintendent Theresa Neal and former Mayor John Logie. Should the millage fail to pass voter approval and funding becomes scarce, more city parks and pools are expected to close.

Two incumbents, Brian Valdivia and Tess Fitzgerald, hope to retain their seats on the board, while three newcomers, Kim Main, Richard Chatoff and Michael Watson, have thrown their hats in the ring.
Brian Valdivia
Valdivia, a Boulder Creek native and president of the board, was elected in 2008 and said he was proud of recent board accomplishments
Those include, he said, keeping the parks looking beautiful; hiring a district manager, Hallie Green, who has added to the district's revenue through increased programming; and completing the renovation of Garrahan Park.
"We were able to do it because we have a cooperative board and a great manager," Valdivia said.
Valdivia, who has two preschool-aged sons, said he looked forward to a new or remodeled recreation facility, because the existing recreation hall is too small to accommodate requests from the community.
"It is definitely smaller than we would like," he said.
Whether the hall remains behind the fire department or a new hall is built somewhere else, Valdivia said it was important to look forward, because the project could take a decade to complete.
He also said he hoped the district would start an outdoor science program soon.
Valdivia is running on a ticket with Fitzgerald and Main.
Tess Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald, an incumbent, has worked as clerk of the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors since 2007.
She was appointed to the Boulder Creek Recreation board twice, in 2006 and 2010, to each time to serve two-year partial terms.
Fitzgerald is proud of the district's growing presence in the community in the past year and said she is on the lookout to build another park.
"The community wants a community garden and a place to run their dogs," Fitzgerald said.
She also said the board is looking for a site for a future recreation hall to replace the existing facility. She's proud that the district has saved money for that goal and has about $532,000 that could be used for a new building.
Fitzgerald also expressed pride in her efforts to straighten out the district's administrative paperwork and push for transparency by posting meaningful agenda items on the district's website.
She said she would like to offer more programs for seniors.
Fitzgerald added that she thought the district's role was to serve the community with activities and facilities.
"Rec districts should be seen and not heard," she said.
Fitzgerald is running on a ticket with Valdivia and Main.
Richard Chatoff
Chatoff, a father of two boys who works in shipping and receiving for IBM, disagrees with the present board's philosophy of saving for a new recreation facility without, he said, showing growth that would warrant a new facility.
"They want to keep shoving money away to purchase property," Chatoff said. "You need money to support that facility."
He said he had attended every board meeting since word went out more than two years ago that the district had plans to purchase four lots near Highway 9 and Grove Street to build a new recreation hall.
The deal fell through because the district was not granted the money by the state, despite a submitting two lengthy applications.
"You need to demonstrate an interest from the community," Chatoff said. "I'm definitely for a rec center if it's feasible. I don't want to buy a big piece of land just because."
He cautioned that purchasing land for a new recreation center without proper demand could lead to a situation similar to that of Redwood Elementary School, which merged with Boulder Creek Elementary in 2003 because the student population shrank, leaving the campus empty.
The candidate said he was happy with the growth of district programs, but he wanted to add more, especially for boys in the 8- to 18-year-old range.
"What's working is great," he said, "(but) there's room to expand it."
Chatoff said he also hoped to see programs promoting positive life skills. He said he would push for a new community survey to help the district understand the needs of local families and individuals.
Kim Main
Main, who has a 10-year-old daughter and two grown stepsons, is running for the board for the first time.
Among her volunteer work, she served as moderator of the Boulder Creek Family Network Yahoo Group for two years. The grassroots group has more than 300 members and shares news about events, crimes, fundraisers and other topics on a daily basis.
She also volunteers at Boulder Creek Branch Library, Boulder Creek Elementary School and the rec center.
Main has been an active user of the recreation district, taking jazzercise classes at the recreation hall, and her daughter has also participated in district programs.
Her family helped revitalize Junction Park, and Main is working with board member Diane Hamilton to build exercise equipment at Garrahan Park.
Main supports the enhancement of Garrahan Park and believes a new recreation center should be constructed to provide space for classes, entertainment and child care.
"It would be great for the community to have its own center," Main said. "It's not an overnight process. It takes a lot of vision and planning."
Main said she hoped the Miller Property off Kings Creek Road, owned by Santa Cruz County, could be used for recreational purposes like hiking.
Main also said the Redwood Elementary School campus could be used more for district activities.
She is running on a ticket with Fitzgerald and Valdivia.
Michael Watson
Watson, a lifelong resident of Boulder Creek, hopes the district will host more events that attract people from outside the town.
Watson fondly remembers the Boulder Creek Art and Wine festival, which was canceled in 2010, and said he would like to host a car show in town.
"I think it would target a bigger community base," said Watson, who is studying business at West Valley Community College.
The candidate said he remembered playing hockey and basketball at the YMCA when he was younger, and thinks the district should offer activities targeted to people in their 20s and 30s.
He said he hoped to promote living a healthy lifestyle through the district's programs.
Watson said he had noticed in the past year that the district was advertising its activities more often, and he hoped that trend would continue.
While admitting to inexperience in dealing with budgets of public agencies, Watson said he was motivated to get involved by his volunteer work at the Elm Street Mission serving soup with Boulder Creek Community Church.
"I really want to help out the community," Watson said. "If I can make the community better, that would be a great achievement for me."
On the subject of a new recreation center, he said it was a hard situation to figure out, but he would go to people in the community to find out if it's something they want.

Aya & Trevor's Sophisticated Contemporary Condo
House Tour
Name: Aya Sumika and Trevor John, President and Co-Owners of Midori Ribbon, with Baby Misa (who is almost 8 months), 2 kitties, and Indigo
Location: West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California
Size: 1,400 square feet
Years lived in: 5 years
Aya and Trevor were very fortunate to move into a brand new condo building, though the units were pretty plain. As Aya got to know her neighbors, it turned out that one of them was an interior designer. She promised Aya that within 6 months, she could have her dream home. She stood true to her world — Aya couldn't believe the transformation!
Since Aya and Trevor's daughter is still very young, she still sleeps in their bedroom. However, the dark blue guest bedroom will soon be hers. It has special touches just for her, like the closet doors that were turned into a pinboard of Polaroid photos from when Aya and Trevor were kids. I can't wait to see how the room transitions when their little girl settles into the space.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Our style is eclectic, livable, and whimisical, with a dash of French urban flair.
Inspiration: We wanted to create a home that reflected our creativity and warmth, allowing us to have a little cocoon and escape from our hectic days at work.
Favorite Element: The hand painted wallpaper in our powder room and the openness of our layout. The condo was a blank canvas for us to establish many of our favorite elements in each room when collaborating with Knapp Interiors.
Biggest Challenge: Honestly, Trevor and I didn't face many challenges. We had a very clear vision of what we wanted, presenting a large 3 ring binder of many collected references and inspirational images and moods for each room in detail. With this vision along with the organization, professionalism and editing of Elizabeth Knapp Bobo from Knapp Interiors, we walked into a finished home within 6 months!
What Friends Say: When friends come into our building they are always surprised to find our little oasis and have fun discovering the attention to detail throughout our home. When visiting they always comment on how relaxed and calm they feel and what an escape from the hustle and bustle of LA it is.
Biggest Embarrassment: The built-in electric fireplace. We tried to make this eyesore diminish by distracting the eye with the custom built, simple mantel above.
Proudest DIY: The Midori ribbon flower bouquet (DIY instructions here), Midori ribbon velvet pillows, and the sliding door corkboards in our second bedroom. They started out as mirrored sliding doors. This particular room, which was also named "the blue room", had to have many functions. It had to serve as a guest bedroom, so the couch essentially has the firmness a mattress would (we didn't want to do a pull out bed, due to the discomfort). It is a favorite of our friends as the "conversation room", at one point it was Trevor's art studio, and now with our little girl Misa, it slowly but surely will evolve into her space, too.
Changing the mirrored doors to the corkboards has given us the flexibility to display our Polariods from over the years — from our wedding, when I was a little baby, to Trevor's inspirations and references for a project he is working on. And I'm sure we will have art from Misa we want to enjoy soon!
Biggest Indulgence: Chandeliers and lighting fixtures. I spent many hours browsing the internet for light fixtures that were a fit for each space. It really became the finishing touch to bring the whole room together. We also splurged on a few vintage pieces that are definitely statement pieces, like my Italian workman's desk, I can only imagine the history that is within this piece.
Best Advice: To know where you can mix in things at low price points without sacrificing style or aesthetic. We are strong believers that you can't buy taste. We had a budget that we wanted to stick to; there were many places that we found we could spend way less on certain pieces to achieve the same goals or feelings. For example, one of our side tables in our master bedroom came from JCPenney, our dining table from Crate&Barrel, many of our picture frames came from Ross… it's all about the eye! Don't sleep on your local garage sales too!
Dream Sources: 1stdibs - they have everything you can imagine! I spent many hours getting lost on this website. Definitely have a goal and a list in front of you before you begin your search at 9PM at night, or you will look up in disbelief to see 1AM creep up in a blink!
Resources of Note:
- Miele
- Northstar
Thanks, Aya & Trevor!

So incredibly rich and luxurious, yet so laid back! What a wonderful combination.
Love the wallpaper and fabrics throughout this home.
So great! Love the use of wallpapers. The house really has a ton of personality but isnt too much. and I agree with bejeweled, laid back at the same time.
Amazing that a "plain unit" can be transformed to look so luxurious.
Because of all the vignette shots, I don't have a good sense of the layout. There were far too many vignettes, and that was really frustrating.
Exactly what I was thinking. Really well done.
Really like this - fantastic colours. Can I also ask where your very cool Frida Kahlo bag is from? Thanks!
absolutely pretty. the lighting fixtures are indeed gorgeous! please tell me where you got your hand shaped wall display pieces, i love them! and your baby is adorable!!!!
Stunning and so well put together!
I knew I recognized her from somewhere. Aya Smukia played Liz Warner on Numb3rs.
Lovely home! Beautiful family. I'm especially fond of the white vanity in front of the giant mirror (with a lovely carved wood frame). The first pictures are a bit dark though AT. Brighten those puppies up if you can.
Sensual and Lush
I get so frustrated when I read that an interior designer was used in these house tours. I can buy design magazines to see interiors designed by professionals. I like to see homes created solely by the people who inhabit them.
Wow...if I didn't see the husband in the photo I would've thought I was viewing a single gals pad! Very feminine & very pretty...
Love the shelves around the tub. I might have to try that in my home. Plus the wallpaper in the bedroom. Of course the sweet little rainbow crawling on the bed was the best accessory of all!
They've certainly done a good job of masking the blandness of a brand new condo, though it's a little too fussy for my taste. It would be interesting to follow up in a few months to see how the space has changed as their baby gets older and more mobile. (I trust the pin board closet doors will be made pinless before she starts crawling around in the blue room.) I can only imagine how many cheerios will get lodged in all that button tufting!!! :-)
That bathroom! Wow! I've never seen shelves like that above a bathtub - so unique and amazing! This is the perfect inspiration for my bathroom makeover.
What is that tiny envelope pinned above their bed in the first photo? I love that magnolia wallpaper.
There is too much going on for me. My eyes didn't know where to land. Is the refrigerator too big for its space? It looks like it is blocking the closet or pocket door. That type of thing would drive me insane especially if it occurred at the hands of a decorator.
LOVE the painting of the blue plaid guy! Love the high backed velvet couch(the red one too,not together though) the wallpaper in the bedroom,loved pretty much all of it.Except that blue fridge,cute though it is,just doesnt fit. Shame in about six months its going to be stripped bare,all that lovely upholstery is going to be stained,tassels pulled off,etc! Once they get really mobile its all over with but the crying.They can reach places and somehow break things that defy the odds of logic !
What a beautiful way to light an otherwise ordinary space. I'm struggling with the same thing. Thanks for inspiring!
Love the magnolia wallpaper, love Trevor, lol.
I have a 1930's vanity I love but would gladly switch with you as the floor length side mirrors on yours made me gasp. Honestly. Love the turquoise fridge whether it fits or not.
Oh, what a feast for the eyes! I love all the colors and textures ~ But I am so curious how you do it with 2 cats!? My cat's have their own preferences for what to claw at so I feel so limited in my furniture choices. Slip-covers are a must, they just kill chairs. Baskets too, sadly. What is your secret? Do tell! :)
@visualizestacy - it's clear the owners worked WITH the decorator to get the result we see here. Why is that a problem? I feel like inspiration can be found in a home that one person designed on a shoestring budget over time and even those that were done quickly or on a higher budget.
Design and inspiration should transcend this issue and I think if you're open to it, you can find beauty or interest in any origin of design.
Really enjoyed seeing this beautiful home. Love the shelves above the tub. And I love the blue fridge. Depending on what kind of wall is behind the fridge, it could possibly be set into the wall to gain a few inches and not have it protrude quite as much. But love the color with the black counters.
1. This house is a lot of things (and I like it a lot) but it's not sophisticated. Not in any sense of the word I know.
2. Has this post been reposted since yesterday? It's showing as the newest post even though it's not.
Looks wonderful! Esp. love the wallpapers and the powder room and bathroom. QUESTION: In the full bathroom, is that wallpaper or tile on the wall?
I ask in case it's wallpaper, to try to find out the source. ... My condo bathroom has a tile-effect wallpaper that I really like, but the prior owners didn't do an esp. good job of putting it up, and then my 2 cats, when kittens, scratched it up, since they adored the thick texture of the paper (equally as much as they liked their multiple scratching posts). I found another, different Moroccan-influenced wallpaper design I like but I really prefer the tile effect (tiny white tiles with a super-thin gold band in between them, like a subtle mosaic.)
i know...using interior designers for anything other than changing the the bones of the house is cheating! i wish there were some more 'male' aspects in the place, considering there's a husband! i like the tan bathroom.
I love the look, the textiles, the colours, the beautiful wall treatments! I would love it even more if there were a few more open spaces, it's a tiny bit claustrophobic but maybe that's just the photography :)
Love the wallpaper in your bedroom!
I think it's beautiful, but the Polaroid pinwall for a kid's room is a disaster waiting to happen. Little fingers are going to pry those tacks right out and scatter them on the floor (sharp side up no doubt). Then those little fingers are going to gleefully rip the pictures to shreds.
Speaking from experience (luckily without the tacks).
i am also bothered by the envelope thing above the bed.
Love the wallpaper and the fridge!
Not my taste, but I like several elements - the mirrored pieces, the shelving over the bath tub, the light fixtures, and overall the home looks so comfortable and warm. Cute baby too!
Some nitpicky commenters (babies, cats, decorators)! Lovely place and tho you are embarrassed by the electric fireplace, I'd still be thrilled to have something -- I think a fire makes a place look so cozy (I actually put on my holiday wish list a DVD of a crackling fire, LOL!). I love your choices of wallpapers as well. Great job, I think it looks luxurious and sensual.
Im betting the envelope above the bed is a blessing of some sort.
Love the glam meets lived-in vibe. Love every pic except the family photo gallery wall (the framed ones) above the chest with even more framed family pics. Too much going on there. Your eye needs white space to rest on and there should be consistent spacing either in between the photos or along the implied lines along the edges. Love your style so much!
Some serious style-function infusion! THE FRIDGE <3<3<3 the bathroom, mirror, ceiling lamp & wallpaper are :O Amazing. A lot of things turned me off, but overall I respected & loved the space Aya & Trevor created for themselves, To Each Their Own.
Intelligent blending of different design styles with a lovely choice of color schemes, light fixtures, and paintings. I could move in as-is and feel quite at home here!
this is a hold up, give me everything in your apartment right now!
i LOVE this. i ESPECIALLY LOVE your bed! where is the frame from?
@Jane Jones the refrig not fitting would be my biggest embarrassment not the electric fire, and would bug me every time I entered my kitchen, but if you read the comments, that is a minority view.
One of the most useful bits of advice I read by a designer was "you have to have some discipline, you can't buy everything you love." This apartment seems filled with everything the owners love without too much concern whether it works together or not.
With all the beauty and glamour of your home what touched me the most was the omamori (prayer talisman) above your bed. It displays a sense of spiritual value.
Love the aqua refrigerator!
I posted several days ago and my post consisted of NO NO... some how that post was removed. Well now I will tell you what I think of this tour. It gave me a headache. I could not fix my eye on one thing because all I could see were a thousand things. OVERLOAD AND NOT TASTEFUL AT ALL.
The wallpaper on the first photo is the same udes on one chapter of HOME HEIST. Love it!!!
WOW!! What a transformation from a plain Jane condo. No hint of that here. This decor is outstanding!! Love it all. Sumptuous and delicious textures and colors and such well appointed furnishings. Aya & Trevor, does your neighbor travel?
@surfjack is right about about the comment from @visualizestacy
"it's clear the owners worked WITH the decorator to get the result we see here.Why is that a problem? I feel like inspiration can be found in a home that one person designed on a shoestring budget over time and even those that were done quickly or on a higher budget.Design and inspiration should transcend this issue and I think if you're open to it, you can find beauty or interest in any origin of design."
Yes! I also like how @surfjack used the word decorator, not designer. Please, please, know that there is a difference, yet they are equally as valuable as professions.
@lanamal I am confused by your comment. What do mean by "using interior designers for anything other than changing the the bones of the house is cheating!"
I just want to understand what you are saying. Is this in reaction to another person's comment. It is unclear.
Your place is fab, fab, fab. I feel your pain with the fireplace. Fireplaces often have metal screens in front. Okay, yours is covered with glass. So is mine. But, a decorative screen can add a little more depth. I'm picturing something metal with pierced cut outs. From Mexico or Morocco ? Hinged on the sides of the fireplace ? Or on metal legs ? This could be an art piece waiting to happen ?
Where is the fridge from?
Love, love, love those fabric flowers in the entry. Do share where they are from. The velvet pillow, on what I think is an entry chair, is wonderful as well.
Love the wall papers in the bedroom(pink and blue flowers -magnolias???) and the powder room (brown with flowers) would anyone know the names of the patterns and who makes them? Love...Love ...Love them. Over all love the combination of midcentury retro glam meets modern livability! Love it.
I love your house.....the fridge....I love it...gotta have it!
There is alot going on in your home..but to me, that 's what makes it lived in..ya gotta love it! It's way cute!
Hey guys:
Why do not you move over here to Canada? We need a lesson of how to use colors over here and make things look not so grey and sad. It would be nice, but the business would go bankrupt. My fellow citizens are so reluctant to use vivid colors, generally speaking.
I love the colors in the house, but more than that I hope that you guys keep together as a family always. The baby deserves it. Colors are to be worn both outside and inside.

Jockey Quotes
KEVIN KRIGGER, MISS EMPIRE, Winner: "Very nice. I worked her behind horses and she worked the same way she ran today. She was excellent in the paddock. Peter (Miller) and I knew there was a lot of speed in front of us and we were just hoping she would run like she worked. The best part about it is that she relaxed. If she ran straighter, she would have drawn off more. I hit her left handed and she might have ducked from the whip."
MARTIN PEDROZA, AWESOME ANNIE, Second: "I wish I would have been on the outside. It might have been a different outcome. I just broke out of there to get position, but I really didn't want to be that close. It was the luck of the draw; you win some and lose some."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, TILDE, Third: "She ran well. I was always in perfect position. She made a little run but the winner was much the best."
Trainer Quotes
PETER MILLER, MISS EMPIRE, Winner: "She spooked at the front of the gate when it opened last time (May 5) and shied and got away slow. She made up some ground going 4 1-2 (furlongs) and with the pedigree we thought she'd like the extra distance. Mr. (Gary) Barber and I decided to take a shot in here. She's a half to (multiple graded stakes winning sprinter) Bordonaro and getting black type is big. My son Jacob is three weeks old, so this is a great Father's Day present. The plan is to come back in the ($150,000) Landaluce Stakes (July 14).''
WALTHER SOLIS, AWESOME ANNIE, Second: "I think the post position today killed us. We knew that we have a nice filly, but the pressure of (Awe' Some Kitten) didn't help us. You're going to see a lot more from this filly."

Bowhunting and Archery Terminology
Archery Shooting Form
In order to achieve consistent, accurate arrow flight, it is imperative to maintain proper form throughout the shot process. The components of proper form include, but are not limited to, correct stance, relaxed grip, bow arm positioning, and correct execution of the shot itself.
The arrow is the projectile that is shot from the bow. Materials used include wood, aluminum, and carbon. Today, carbon is the most popular choice due to its strength, durability, and spine to weight ratio.
Arrow Rest
The arrow rest is positioned on the arrow shelf, directly under the sight window, and its main purpose is to cradle the arrow during the draw and launch process. Different models include stationary arrow rests and drop away rests. Drop away arrow rests are the most popular due to the fact that the launcher arms drop down before the arrow fletching reaches them. This reduces the contact between the fletching and the rest and results in better shooting.
Arrow Shelf
The arrow shelf is located just above the grip and below the sight window. This horizontal shelf is machined into the riser and it is the where the arrow rest will be attached.
Axle to Axle Measurement (ATA)
The axle to axle measurement of a bow is the distance (in inches) from the center axle of one cam to the center axle of the other cam. To attain maximum efficiency from your bow it is important to keep this measurement within the manufacturers spec range; most often within 3/16 of an inch of specified ATA.
Back Tension
Back tension is a technique that involves using the back muscles to trigger the shot; rather than simply commanding the trigger finger to pull the release-aid trigger. This technique often involves the use of specialized release aids, but can still be incorporated to some degree using a standard caliper release.
Berger Hole
The Berger Hole is used to attach the arrow rest to the bow. It is located on the outside of the arrow shelf along the riser. When setting up a bow, most mechanics will start by centering the arrow along the Berger hole.
Bow Press
The bow press is a tool used to relax tension on the bow string by flexing the bow limbs inward. This is done when maintenance work must be performed. Given the differences in bow geometry and limb configurations, caution must be used to insure the right press is used for the bow being serviced.
Bow Sling
The purpose of the bow sling is to promote a relaxed grip. This is accomplished by eliminating the chance that the shooter drops the bow after the shot. The bow sling is installed behind the stabilizer and essentially wraps around the bow grip where the shooter will place his/her hand through it. To prevent unwanted torque, insure that the sling does not fit too tightly around the hand but rather loosely.
Bow String
The Bow string is where the arrow is attached. On a two cam system is ends at the cams. On a single cam system the bow string ends at the bottom cam but travels around the top idler wheel. String life can be extended by applying string wax from time to time.
Brace Height
This measurement from the bows grip to the bowstring (when its in the relaxed, un-drawn position) dictates the window of time the arrow stays on the string during the launch process. Traditionally, shorter brace height bows (6 inches or less) are less forgiving than those with longer brace heights (7 inches or more).
Broadheads are used for hunting purposes only. Unlike field points, broadheads carry razor sharp blades and sharp points. There are primarily two types of broadheads; fixed blade and mechanical. The blades on a fixed broadhead remain stationary. The blades on a mechanical broadhead will be somewhat hidden during flight, but will cam open upon impact using a variety of methods.
The cables are tied into the bowstring and work with the cams during the draw process and execution of the shot.
Cable Rod
The cable guard protrudes reward (perpendicular from the riser) towards the bowstring and essentially keeps the cables out of the arrow's line of flight. In most systems, the cables are attached to a cable slide, which runs along the cable rod when the bow is drawn.
Cable Roller
On some bows, the cable roller has replaced the standard cable rod/cable slide system. Instead of a slide, the roller system incorporates wheels to move the cables. This allows for greater efficiency and a smoother draw because friction is greatly reduced.
Cable slide
The Cable slide attaches to the cable rod and holds the cables. Most are made of plastic with some models incorporating special materials that reduce friction.
Cam Lean
Cam lean is a term that describes the amount that the cam, or cams, are tilted or canted off of the vertical center of the bow. This condition is a result of the cable(s) and or bow string being pulled to the cable guard.
Cams are located at the end of each bow limb and are round or oval in shape. The cams store energy and essentially transfer power from the limbs to the bowstring and to the arrow during the shot. Bow's can have either one or two Cams. On a single cam bow, the cam is located on the bottom limb while the idler wheel is located at the end of the top limb.
Compound Bow
The modern compound bow consists of a levering system which utilizes cables and cams to bend the bow limbs and transfer energy during the shot.
The D-Loop attaches to the bow string where the arrow is nocked and is used to apply even pressure along the string when a release aid is used to draw the bow back. Materials consist of a short piece of cord fixed firmly to the bow string by tying two knots.
Draw Weight
A bow's draw weight is measured by the amount of force (in pounds) required to bring the bow to full draw.
Field Dressing
Field dressing is the procedure of removing the internal organs from an animal that has been harvested by a hunter.
Field Point
Field points are most often referred to as "practice tips". They screw into the front of the arrow and come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can also be purchased in 75, 85, 100 and 125 grain weights.
Fletching / Vanes
Arrow Fletching helps to steer the arrow in a rotational manner while it is in flight. Materials vary between real feathers and soft, flexible plastic. These plastic fletching, or feathers, is glued onto the end of the arrow opposite of the field point end. Sizes can dramatically reduce arrow speed (larger fletching) or increase it (small fletching).
Front of Center is a measurement that translates into a percentage of how far the balancing point of an arrow is forward of its measured center. Good FOC is critical for best flight stability. Most manufacturers recommend 10 percent or more weight forward for optimal control.
FPS is the Feet per Second an arrow travels when shot from the bow. Most bow makers list this number under an IBO rating which is acquired by shooting an arrow weighing 350 grains from a bow set at 70lbs draw weight and 30 draw length. If you want to reach a bows IBO speed rating, it must be shot under those conditions. Any variations will reduce speed.
A unit of measurement used when weighing an arrow and its components such as nock, insert, and broadheads or field points. Even arrows themselves are weighed in this manner by using a Grain per Inch (GPI) rating. Meaning, a raw arrow shaft will carry x amount of grains per inch of length.
The grip is the only part of the bow that the shooter touches during the shot (unless shooting with fingers). Most grips can be removed and replaced with aftermarket models to accommodate specific shooting needs.
IBO Speed
IBO speed is defined as the initial velocity in feet per second of a 350 grain arrow which has been shot from a bow having a draw length of 30 inches and draw weight of 70 lbs. This excludes the use of a peep sight or d-loop on the string.
Idler Wheel
Found on single cam bows, the idler wheel simple replaces the top cam with a wheel that only contacts the bowstring and not the cables.
The insert is a threaded aluminum unit that is installed into the front portion of the arrow allowing field points and broadheads to be screwed into it. They are hollow and are "inserted" into the arrow after it is cut to the desired length.
Let Off
Let off is the percentage of the bow's draw weight that is subtracted after reaching full draw. For example, a bow having a let-off of 80% will require the shooter to only hold back 20% of the actual draw weight: 70 pound draw weight - 80% let off = 14 lb full draw holding weight.
Limbs are flexible, fiberglass planks that attach to the riser and support the cam system of the bow, as well as store and release energy before during and after the shot. Limbs are given specific weight ranges such as 50-60lbs, 60-70lbs, 70-80lbs, etc. The shooter can choose any weight within the limbs specified range. For example, 50-60 lb limbs offer any weight between 50 and 60 lbs. Limbs can also be replaced if these ranges in weight need to be increased or lowered.
Long Bow
A longbow is similar to a recurve except that it is much taller (roughly equal to the height of the person who uses it); and the limbs are straight and narrow. The limbs also appear circular or D-shaped in cross section.

Ginkgo extract, from the
leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree, has been used for
thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. It also is the most
commonly used herbal medicine in Europe. Although the benefits of ginkgo are
not entirely understood, it is known that ginkgo has properties that may help
treat certain conditions.
People have used ginkgo
to treat a variety of health conditions. There is some evidence that ginkgo may
be helpful in the treatment of:
Ginkgo is widely used
throughout Europe to treat age-related dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
Ginkgo appears to be safe and has
few side effects. Direct contact with the pulp of the ginkgo tree may cause a
skin reaction similar to
poison ivy, but this is not a problem with ginkgo that
is taken by mouth (oral supplements). Experts don't know whether ginkgo is safe
for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, so these women should consult a
doctor before taking ginkgo.
Bleeding problems are the only major
complication that has been linked to use of ginkgo, and the risk seems to be
very low. Ginkgo is not recommended for people who are taking medicines that
thin the blood (anticoagulants), such as warfarin (Coumadin), aspirin,
NSAIDs. This is because ginkgo may reduce the blood's
ability to clot. The combined effect of ginkgo and these medicines may be
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not
regulate dietary supplements in the same way it regulates medicines. A dietary
supplement can be sold with limited or no research on how well it works or on
its safety.
Always tell your doctor if you are using a dietary
supplement or if you are thinking about combining a dietary supplement with
your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your
conventional medical treatment and rely only on a dietary supplement. This is
especially important for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
When using dietary supplements, keep in mind the following:

The BMC Development Team gets its season underway Saturday at the Beverbeek Classic in Belgium with one eye on its first major stage race next month.
Training Camps Went Well
The BMC Development Team will be one of 28 teams lining up in the 180.7-kilometer Beverbeek Classic, the traditional opening race of the Belgian season for elite racers. General Manager Rik Verbrugghe said the team's two pre-season camps in Spain went well with the exception of a training ride crash that will delay the start of Tom Bohli's season. "We had good weather and good training and now we're ready to race," he said. "Our first two races will help us get into racing rhythm." The BMC Development Team will also compete March 3 in the one-day Grand Prix de Lillers in France before its first stage race of the season, the Tour de Normandie, a UCI 2.2 race on the European Tour. "This is one of the biggest races for young guys so it's one of our first goals," Verbrugghe said. "More than 75 teams applied and only 24 were accepted so we are pleased to be among the field for what is a very good, high-quality race."
BMC Development Team Beverbeek Classic Roster (Feb. 23):
Taylor Eisenhart (USA), Kilian Frankiny (SUI), Igniazio Moser (ITA), Jakub Novak (CZE), Loic Vliegen (BEL), Tyler Williams (USA).

Welcome to The Blood Bag Project, a craft project that aims to raise awareness of the rare blood condition Diamond Blackfan Anaemia.
Three year old Chloe suffers from DBA, meaning her bone marrow does not create new red blood cells. As a result, she becomes very anaemic and requires blood transfusions every 3-4 weeks. Chloe will need over 150 transfusions by the of ten.
The project has been set up by Chloe's auntie Leigh, who wants to encourage people to donate blood. Chloe's main source of help is through blood donation. However, Leigh is unable to give blood herself and understands she's not alone. This project is for those who want to help the blood cause by donating in another way. Download your free blood bag template here.

I bought this club from Global Golf several weeks ago and it (3H version) has allowed me to get on in two on the Par 5s more reliably than my 3W (Titleist 910F). I can hit a slight draw so easily with this club. It has been great to hit out of the fairway and rough. This is staying in the bag!
able to hit the ball a long way with this club and good control ti hit the ball straight
hits great when you can actually get a hit with it. its a little finicky. maybe im still getting used to it
Great Club! This club is so easy to get off the ground and always ends up in the fairway.
I was skeptical at first.. but the Taylor Made 4hybrid club came in "mint" condition, and for a great price. It still had the plastic wrap on the club head! It was in better condition than promised on their website.

Preservationists regroup after Grimes Mill's heartbreaking loss
Grimes Mill's interesting Second Empire architectural style was a holdover from Reconstruction days in the South. So it was rare in that regard.
Clement noted the foundation's conscious efforts to preserve industrial, business and residential components of the city's past, and Grimes Mill and the depot are prime examples on the industrial side.
The mill was named for the Grimes family, which operated the mill from 1906 to 1963.
John Grimes closed the roller mill in March 1963, and Robert D. Davis bought it three months later. He continued to make family flour and custom grind grains. He also added a retail store.
Ron Thomas, who grew up on a Dukeville farm where he still lives, remembers traveling to Grimes Mill with his father to take loads of corn, barley and hay to sell or to be ground up for cow feed back home.
If the fire hadn't happened, Black would have been working on reglazing windows at the mill Thursday and today.

Good morning everyone. I have decided on the November contest and it will be to guess how much snow the summit receives for the month of November. The person to guess the closest is the winner for the month. Will the summit see an active November with a lot of snow or will the summit be snow starved this year. Here are the quick and simple rules.
1. All answers must be in whole integers
2. One submission per forum ID
3. There can be no duplicates. If an answer has been taken, the second answerer will be ignored
4. If the proper answer is not selected by anyone, the winner will be the closest guess will be the winner. In other words, don't go too far hot or you will be left out in the cold
5. Any attempt to add snow to the summit via an air drop, snow machine, etc will result in a DQ for the contest.
6. Bribing the Night Observer is allowed, but that can not influence the amount of snow on the summit
7. All guesses must be submitted here on this forum in proper English by the silent stroke of midnight on October 31
8. The official source of data is the Daily F6 as published on the Observatory's web site. It is the only source that will be considered
9. Employees of any organization with "Washington" in its name will be given special consideration and will be allowed to enter.
So get your guesses in and lets see if we have a Snovember!
