Comments On Aug 24, 2015:If you are satisfying a requirement to be road legal it works, but don't expect to use it as a rear view mirror.

Comments On Jul 15, 2015:If you are just looking for a mirror to satisfy DMV this one is great. It works alright on the street and you can fold it out of the way off road.

Comments On May 12, 2015:If you just want to pass inspection this is a great mirror. Vibrates to much to really be able to use it for more then seeing a blur behind you.

Comments On Apr 23, 2015:Good price, a little short.

Comments On Apr 10, 2015:This mirror should not be used for anything other than for inspection purposes. I used it during a turkey run and it last 300 feet then shook off the bike never to be seen again.

Comments On Jan 19, 2015:Can't complain for the price, yet really doesn't give much rear visibility. It did what I bought it for to get the bike through the DMV inspection.

Comments On Jan 12, 2015:This is a cheap mirror at a cheap price. Don't expect anything nice here but it will get you past your inspection. Thats all I bought it for

Comments On Jan 02, 2015:I bought this at the last minute for a dual-sport ride per regulation. It is pretty flimsy and small. I would say it's best purpose is just for that... passing a mirror reg for a ride, but not to actually rely on it for serious riding.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 29, 2014:Like most reviewers have commented, this mirror gets you legal, tucks away very nicely, and is lightweight.
On the down side, yes, it vibrates like crazy and will be almost useless.
I found a solution to the vibration though- Simply push it over so that it rests on your hand to stabilize the mirror. You may have to crank your head to see behind you, but it works in light traffic.
Would I recommend this mirror in heavy traffic? Absolutely not! But for occasional riding on lightly traveled roads, it is a good choice.

My wife can stream the music on her iPad2 to our home theatre via Apple TV. We have one iTunes acct for our purchases, etc..When she goes to visit family in Ga. Is there a way she can stream the same music via her dad's home theatre/Apple TV set up. I'm assuming there's an issue related to our iTunes acct vs her dad's iTunes acct.

From an iPhone/iPod/iPad you can stream music to any Apple TV without needing to log in in any way. So as long as your wife doesn't want to copy her music onto her Dad's system she should be fine.
One Computer must activated for a specific iTunes Account. Once the Mac/iPad/iPhone/AppleTV is activated, you have to wait 90 days to switch the account.
For example: If your Dad has activated iTunes Match, he has to wait 90 days till your wife can activate iTunes Match on the same device with her account.
The solution would be to carry around your iPad and stream it from there.

I've ran Dual Sheild wire in my 12vs powered by a Trailblazer 302 and it ran great. I just bought an older Millermatic 251MP and it doesn't seem to like it much. I tried to set the wire on the machine as .045 Steel and .045 fluxcore and it just does not like it. Does anyone have any tips for me to get this working with this machine? Thanks....

Dual Shield welding help!!
What shielding gas are u using?
Was having some problems at lower settings but ran good at higher voltage ie. spray transfer.
I switched from 75/25 gas to 85/15 and ran better all way around especially at lower settings. Just a thought. (using 350-p)
Thats a 250MP, not a 251, and the problem is that the 250 doesn't have the wire speed to run dual shield. Mild steel is fine on it though.

I'm using CO2...
You are correct, 250MP. I did the unthinkable and downloaded Millers iPhone app for welding setting - It actually worked - I was running 145 ipm and I needed to be at 210-230. It works great now! Also - I took my machine up to it's highest ipm setting - 670 is where it stopped, I think I have enough! Thanks guys and sorry for the brain fart!

Hazing from Carleton College's past - students being thrown in the air, men in dresses, and of course, paddling.
While hazing was fairly common in the 19th century and 1st half of the 20th century, the practice at Carleton generally did not last beyond the 1960's.
See our Digital Collections for more images like this from Carleton's history.

After another big shot of rain the Mad is out of shape for a few days, but the river clears very quickly and the upper river should be fishable Sunday. This winter the Mad has been a yo-yo but for those anglers willing to watch the guages and change with the flows have had consistant success. With the high flows throughout the winter many anglers have been fishing streamers and some very large fish have been caught. With the cold water finding the right retrieve is the key to success, so keep experimenting and keep at it, once you find what they want it has been great. Nymph fisherman have been having the most consistant success this winter. Fishing deeper pools and cuts has kept many anglers hooked up. The best flies change with the flows, shortly after a spike in the flows larger patterns such as San Juan Worms, and craneflies with stonefly droppers have been best. Once the flows stabilize fish key on midges and small mayfly nymphs fished behind stoneflies.
It looks like the new year will be more kind to anlgers than 2011 was. With unseasonably warm weather this week and no rain before the weekend things are looking great for anglers looking to get the first brown of the new year. Flows are still on the high side but are very fishable through most of the river, the lower portions will still be difficult to wade for a few days but should get easier as the water drops. Nymph fishing will rule as the water drops, the water is clear and cold so getting your flies to the bottom will be the key to catching fish. With the high flows craneflies are still a top producer and will usually account for the larger fish taken on nymphs, #12-16 black stoneflies are also a top option and will remain so until late winter. Small midges and Pheasant tails are always a good option in the winter, #16-20 zebra midges, brassies, and red copper johns are always great trailing patterns, especially in the upper river. As the winter progesses we can usually expect to find some fish rising to midges, especially in the upper river, though with the high flows this winter this will sporatic at best until the flows drop. Streamer fish has remained great with the high flows, swinging streamers is always a great way to take winter fish in high water, swinging wooly buggers slow and low will take some fish on almost any winter day. With no snow to cool the water temps the fish have remained aggresive to stripping streamers. Weighted patterns the drop on the pause have been the best producers lately.

Sweetwater High School's basketball teams made the short trip to Merkel on Tuesday and lost both ends of their doubleheader.
Merkel girls 55, Sweetwater girls 19
Merkel, ranked No. 1 in Class 2A, defeated Sweet-water (7-6) for the second time in five days. The Lady Badgers won 47-33 when the teams met last Friday at Ballinger's three-day tour-nament in a game Sweetwa-ter led at halftime. But it was never a contest this time as Merkel (14-0) led 14-4, 31-8 and 45-12 at the breaks.
Kendra Crosson had nine points for Sweetwater while Janell Walker scored three, Kelsi Crosson and Kathleen Campbell two and Kayla Chowning, Hayley Brown-low and Taylor McPherson one. The Lady Mustangs play Coahoma in their first game of Stanton's three-day tournament at 3 p.m. on Thursday when they return to action.
Merkel boys 71, Sweetwater boys 58
The Merkel boys pulled away late to defeat Sweet-water (2-4) in the nightcap of the doubleheader. The Badgers led just 50-46 at the end of three quarters.
Dylan Bennett scored 14 points to pace Sweetwater, while Michael Hunt and Isaiah McGee contributed 12 apiece.
Also scoring were Rhett Torres with nine points, Quentin Wetsel with six and Trey Taylor with five.
Sweetwater will take on Sands at 1:30 p.m. on Thurs-day in its first game of the three-day Stanton boys basketball tournament.

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included. Ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome are prescribed to reduce swelling in the carpal tunnel. Two different kinds of medicine may be effective. Both medicines are aimed at reducing inflammation, a primary cause of swelling in this area.
Glucocorticoids (cortisone-like drugs, steroids)
- Prednisone
- Prednisolone
- Triamcinolone (Aristocort, Kenacort)
- Dexamethasone (Decadron)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Indomethacin (Indocin)
- Naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox)
- Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)–lower doses
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
- Naproxen (Aleve)
- Piroxicam (Feldene)
- Sulindac (Clinoril)
Prescription Medications
These cortisone-like drugs are given in short, sometimes tapering, bursts lasting a week or two. Glucocorticoids can produce a number of negative side effects, particularly when taken for prolonged periods. For this reason, your healthcare provider will prescribe them only for a short time. You will be monitored while taking them. These medications are often quite effective in reducing inflammation.
Common names include:
- Prednisone
- Prednisolone
- Dexamethasone (Decadron)
- Triamcinolone (Aristocort, Kenacort)
There are currently twenty prescription NSAIDs on the market. Each medicine has a slightly different chemistry and side effect profile. NSAIDs can be as effective as cortisone and are safer over the long run. However, they do have side effects.
Common names include:
- Indomethacin (Indocin)
- Naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox)
- Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Take special care with NSAIDs if you have had an ulcer or gastritis . They can irritate these conditions. Tell your doctor if you have a stomach condition before you start taking any of these medications.
An injection of synthetic glucocorticoids, commonly referred to as "cortisone." It is injected directly into the carpal tunnel. It may be used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome if rest, medications, and lifestyle changes are not working. This is a simple office procedure that is quite safe if done infrequently. It reduces inflammation and the swelling and pressure inside the carpal tunnel.
Injections very rarely cause excessive bleeding and even more rarely cause infection. If there is excessive pain or swelling, contact your healthcare provider.
Over-the-Counter Medications
Lower doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are sold over the counter and include:
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
- Naproxen (Aleve)
- Piroxicam (Feldene)
Take special care with NSAIDs if you have had an ulcer or gastritis, as they can irritate these conditions. Tell your doctor if you have a stomach condition before you start taking any of these medications.
Special Considerations
Whenever you are taking a prescription medication, take the following precautions:
- Take them as directed—not more, not less, not at a different time.
- Do not stop taking them without consulting your doctor.
- Do not share them with anyone else.
- Know what effects and side effects to expect. Report them to your doctor.
- If you are taking more than one drug, even if it is over-the-counter, be sure to check with a physician or pharmacist about drug interactions.
- Plan ahead for refills so you don't run out.

I have an HTC Hero running Android 2.1. My work has a secured wifi network that we're allowed to connect our phones too. We also have to change our account passwords every so often. When this happens, my credentials are incorrect when trying to connect to the wifi from my phone. But the phone doesn't tell me that, it just keeps trying, which ends up locking my account because of failed logins. Is there a way to get the WiFi app to notify me when the connection fails so I can update the credentials, rather than continuing to try to connect, locking out my account?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for enthusiasts and power users of the Android operating system. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The best way I know is to use an app called Tasker. Its price is a little steeper than most, but it's very useful once you start playing with it. Check out lifehacker to see some other examples of what Tasker can do.
Here are the steps for what you want to do:
You could also make your phone vibrate or play a sound if you prefer. If you're worried you won't see/hear the notification in your pocket, you can also automatically disable wifi until you have the correct credentials. Just add another action to the task by going to "Net", selecting "WiFi" and setting it to "Off".
Tasker is great fun to nerd out on and isn't nearly as complicated as my numbered list might imply.

Wharf,Originally Posted by WharfRat
Believe me, I understand the idea behind the removal of the thread. I don't know if you actually checked it out or not but the fact is that I did not post any NUDE pics. There were Wet T-shirt shots but definately NO NUDITY. So the argument stands, why was it removed, I understand you want to back up your fellow mod, and again I understand the fact that you guys are definately overworked..........but once again, my point is I didn't break any TOS rules and unless I was to busy posting, I didn't see any posts that did. I remember West on there and maybe another member and thats it, and I know West did nothing but post comments. So unfortunately, I feel like you may not have checked the thread out prior to this and don't know that there was any nudity because if you had it would have been you to MOD it out, so see, I was simply looking for a good reason for its removal, thats all. Sorry about the sarcastic posts but I found it necessary to get some attention on the subject. Thanks very much.

Answer to late games is CDT in Indiana
Reggie Hayes, commenting on the World Series in the Oct. 24 News-Sentinel, wrote that "baseball and the World Series could be improved with a few tweaks." Leading off his suggestions was a call for "earlier starting times. Advertising revenues are the reason broadcasting networks demand the late starting times. But I'm not smart enough to understand how it's helpful, and who's still paying attention to the Geico ads, when games end on weeknights between 11:30 and midnight."
I understand where he is coming from. I have had to deal with employees who stumble in like zombies after major weeknight televised sporting events. I have to deal with getting up two to three hours before sunrise to make sure my children are ready for school. But, gee, Reggie, the measured population center of the country has been moving west since about the census of 1800, and today a large majority of the nation's population doesn't live in the Eastern time zone. Heck, not even all of Indiana is in the Eastern time zone.
Rather than trying to persuade Fox Sports to inconvenience a large part of its Arizona and Pacific time zone audience by starting weekday World Series games earlier, say 4 p.m. MST/PDT (I'm sure that would go over well in San Francisco), we here in Fort Wayne might observe that the Central time zone begins about 72 miles west up U.S. 30 and that we might have better luck persuading state and local leadership to ask the federal government to unify Indiana in one time zone, namely the Central. That way we, too, would enjoy convenient 7 p.m. CDT game time starts just like Michigan City, Valparaiso, Hammond and Evansville do.

Thanks, JC Penney, for free service to cancer survivor
I want to say a big thank you to the J.C. Penney Hair Salon for giving a free haircut and styling to cancer survivors.
I went to their salon about two weeks ago. The salon was all decorated with pink balloons and pink ribbons. They were all so friendly and I loved my stylist. As she was shampooing my hair, I told her about my being diagnosed four years ago with early stage breast cancer. And then, she told me that she herself was 13 weeks into her radiation treatment after being diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.
We immediately had a common bond. Most breast cancer patients and survivors do. I was a bit emotional as it was so neat to know that we both understood each other and knew what each other was gone through or had been through. It was such an encouraging time. We couldn't stop talking.
She did a beautiful job on my hair, too. But, most importantly, I left having a new friend. Her name is Ann, and we were both diagnosed early because we had our yearly mammograms. Please do yourself a favor and do the same. Thank you again, J.C. Penney.

Sour grapes Mourdock
Loyal Republicans who supported and voted for Richard Mourdock must have cringed when they heard the defeated candidate's "concession" speech. This was the most scurrilous, vicious, shameless bunch of sour grapes that surpasses the famous, "You won't have Richard Nixon to kick around anymore."
I had little respect for Mourdock after hearing some of his positions and beliefs, but after this harangue, I know that United States citizens have "dodged a bullet."

3M 05916 Welding and Spark Deflection Paper Tape is a flame-retardant, repositionable, adhesive-backed paper product used to protect vertical surfaces from damage caused by welding spatter and grinding sparks. It suppresses burning from welding spatter and grinding sparks and can be adjusted after initial installation to insure correct position. It offers low-cost but vital protection. 3M 05916 protects automotive glass and light fixtures, painted sheet metal, other damageable vertical surfaces from spatter and sparks. The product is NOT designed for installation on horizontal surfaces, such as roofs, decklids, hoods, carpeting on floorboards since it is not designed to prevent heat transfer from sparks or spatter that are allowed to sit in one position on the paper, these will burn through.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

According to folklore, you can predict the weather with a persimmon seed. Here's how to do it:
Cut open a persimmon seed. (Find persimmon fruit in your supermarket. It should be locally-grown to reflect your weather.)
Look at the shape of the kernel inside.
- If the kernel is spoon-shaped, lots of heavy, wet snow will fall. Spoon = shovel!
- If it is fork-shaped, you can expect powdery, light snow and a mild winter.
- If the kernel is knife-shaped, expect to be "cut" by icy, cutting winds.
It's best to use ripe seeds.
That's it! Now, what did you see?

Spreading the Love
Circle Modern Dance celebrates movement, life and community in 'Primitive Light 2006'
The expansive, open space of the Emporium can have a chill to it this time of year, but the Circle Modern Dance (CMD) performers don't seem to mind. They're rehearsing here in form-fitting layers of cotton leotards, pants and sweaters for Primitive Light 2006 , the fifteenth edition of the winter tradition.
It's a week before opening and they're working through the spacing of Fall and Rediscovery , a flowing, acrobatic piece choreographed and performed by former CMD Executive Artistic Director Kimberly Matibag. Also featured are Cara Bradshaw, Joy Davis and Wayles Haynes, longtime member of Circle and recently appointed director. Due to family and job responsibilities, as well as other dance commitments, it's been a while since this group has rehearsed; schedules are difficult to coordinate, but Light is a labor of love. And they're making time.
Matibag explains that Rediscovery , one of 10-ish pieces in the show, is about the "rediscovery of [her]self as a dancer and a choreographer after a high-risk pregnancy required that [she] keep both feet on the ground." Matibag is quick to add: "Cara [Bradshaw] recently had a baby, too. She just got back into dancing, and she's doing great." It's the beginning of a theme that emerges quickly in the presence of Circle Modern Dancers: they love and respect each other, and they take a lot of pride in one another's successes, on and off the dance floor.
Two stools stand in the middle of the art gallery's wood floor; the four barefoot women spin and sway on and around the stools; a fifth woman and a man (curators?) circle the dancers, positioning paintings on the surrounding walls. It's concentric circles of art: design, performance, visual. The dancers look right at home in this borrowed practice space, but for the upcoming show, the aesthetic of the Emporium will be replaced by the dramatically more intimate atmosphere of the Laurel Theater, where Light has taken place every year since its inception in 1991.
This particular piece is accompanied by Zen-like ambient sounds, performed by live musicians. "Live music is a tradition of Primitive Light ," says Matibag. (This year's musicians include Nathan Barrett, Andre Hayter, Greg Horne and Rachel Schlafer-Parson.) Through Rediscovery 's abstractions, the feminine athleticism of the performers is apparent and impressive; they move fluidly and slowly like honey, but they control their own and each other's bodies like steel support beams. Suddenly, it's easy to connect the movement to the idea behind it.
Like Matibag's piece, a co-choreographed duet by Angela Hill (former assistant director) and Haynes is also rooted in personal experience. The two women have been on parallel paths of creative and professional development, at times in perceived or actual competition with each other. Haynes explains, "The dance world is very small. There's a lot of overlap in the experiences and worlds of choreographers and dancers." Hill specifies, "It's a healthy competition. I really value having Wayles here to bounce ideas off of." Spheres of Influence is a bodily manifestation of their evolving relationship, and therefore, it includes lots of partnering. "There are a bunch of lifts here." Hill offers while marking the piece. "They are amazing!"
Haynes enthusiastically interjects: "Angela, tell about your solo! It's so smart ." Hill's solo intermingles dance with the spoken word. Laying Down Bone draws on her experience at the Rolf Institute in Colorado, where she studied structural integration and connective tissue massage. Bone integrates skeletal anatomy with personal excavation. "It's a light-hearted look at the circle of life and death," Hill adds, then suggests: "You should mention Jacqueline [Kinsman]'s solo. She has great facility and beautiful flow. This really is one of the best lineups Primitive Light has ever seen." She should know; this is her tenth year of involvement with Light .
Haynes agrees: " This year, Light is about light-heartedness of being and soul. It's about playfulness and warming the heart… and wanting to share that with the audience. We are moving forward technically; we are more approachable to the mainstream (non-dancer) population; we are working to maintain access and outreach; we are evolving to meet the needs of the company and the community; all while honoring the tradition of "Every body's right to dance'—the spirit of Circle." Appropriately, a mix of Circle company members and community members make up the rest of the Light cast: Mary Alford, Gwen Franklin, Leah Ratliff Pinder, Melinda Wolfe, Ajeet Khalsa, Valerie Wallace, Josh Beach, and Shannon Efteland.
Circle is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that relies on grants from the Tennessee Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts—and perhaps more importantly, on donations—to continue to offer classes to the public and to produce high-quality annual shows such as Light . Haynes observes: "The community has been utterly supportive, turning out at our fundraisers and shows, and donating to Circle. Businesses, individuals, families—they let us know that our work is appreciated and essential to the Knoxville, state and regional arts communities. I just want to say thank you."

How much welding experience do you have? Have you ever built a trailer for over the road? What type of welding machine are you going to use? Are you capable of making code quality welds or is this a learning experience for you?
Sorry for the third degree with all the questions, but someone needs to ask since you are new here. This might help get some of your questions answered.

Those materials most likely will work. I would go with the 2x3 on the tongue for sure. One possible issue is the thin wall tube. It's probably going to rust from inside and there isn't much there. That will lead to failure at the joints eventually. It's better to get C-channel for the frame with a thicker web. That makes it easier to prevent rust and less likely to have a "tear".
If you are planning cross country trips I would get some stronger materials and save the tube for another project.

I like aluminum air rifle stocks made of 1/2" square al tubing and plywood. It's lightweight and suits me for squirrel hunting.
Yesterday I learned a valuable lesson about making welds that do not require grinding. in the future I'll focus intently on producing welds that do not require cleanup.
The joinery is done with a 1/2" straight cut router bit on my Harbor Freight router. The mecahnical fit was great and all was square but I trashed the project because of poor welds and further weakening the base material through grinding. These joints have potential but need a better weldor to make it happen. Next time, when I get over wasting materials.
Here's what the prototype/first good effort produced. Yes, there's a conspicuous absence of close-up weld pictures.

If you need all that paraphernalia for shooting squirrels, you need to practice being a better shot.
Talk about an "overengineered mousetrap". That thing wouldn't last half a day in the "field".
Always nice to see where someone's "distractors" are coming from. Good to know that there's a "squirrel shooting", windsurfer out there that finds so much fault with my postings.
LMAO too. You're an a-hole and confirmed it yet again.

But at least I'm not a squirrel shooting, windfairy, who knows absolutlely nothing about welding or metal fabrication.
You'd rather spend your time nitpicking my posts than learning how to weld.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear Rube Goldburg designed that thing you posted photos of.

Theres a rifle on the blue for sale post that would eliminate your need for that ...do you eat the squirrels ?...if so you could buy a lot of beef for what that scope cost...are squirrels that big of a problem in your area that this much time has to be invested in eraidicating them...what do you have cobbled up for big game...''you'll shoot yourself in the eye''...lol....
There is a company making small weapons for small game to SHOOT BACK.
Let's see how brave the great hunters handle this. Killing game for survival etc is one thing but for sport deserves a big "YOU SUCK".Nick

Hey, Monte!!!! This is what I use for squirrels,,,, I think it's more efficient, plus it kills while I'm just lounging around, or sleeping, or such Also, since I hate seeing poor creatures dying, this way I don't actually have to see them suffer and die
!!!!!!!!!??????? Oh, forgot ...... I have bug poison, too .... Lorsban, pyretherins, Sevin, probably a few other good ones I forgot about .... finally ran out of DDT a few years ago .. good stuff ..... Is it OK to kill bugs???? or do bugs have feelings too?????
Nick, you may be on the wrong side of this here. No, really, OK, just hear me out. You have a golden opportunity here to potentially make some serious cash.
Ok, here's what you do. first, register at as many hunting websites as you can find. I'm sure there are a lot of guys who could provide links for you here. Next, make a post about how hunters could name each animal they kill for sport. You could really play it up here and have them get creative with the names. You know, like ones that reflected where they were killed or what they were doing when they were killed, and stuff like that.
Then, you could get in contact with all of the animal rights organizations to sponsor you, for a profit of course, to make your plaques with all these names of the animals who have been killed. I think you could really play this up and tug at the heartstrings of all these poor folks and I bet they would send you all the cash you could ever imagine.
Now, the only thing left to do would be to secure a place to display all your named plaquards. I would think that you should also be able to secure funding, from the animal rights organizations, to get a few acres to begin displaying all the beautiful, sensitive, work you will be producing.
Let me know if you need any consulting on the project.Dynasty 350DX

|Vermont Moose
Mad River Glen moose population has grown by two this year.
One of the most frequent questions we get here at the inn is "where can we go to see a moose?" There are several areas nearby where the possibility is greater but sighting a moose is a rare occurrence even for people who live and work in the forests.
The moose photo at the top of this Vermont Travel Notes blog is a good example. It was taken by a guest in early November several years ago while he was driving on Route 100 between Warren and Granville VT, a popular place to spot moose because of the swampy areas alongside the road. It's not a particularly good photo because he quickly took the shot through the car windshield. He got some better quality photos after he stopped the car and got out but by then the moose was into the woods and walking away so the angle of the photo does not work well. But he was lucky to see it at all. If he had left here a minute earlier or a minute later he would have missed the moose entirely. That's moose spotting for you (or seeing any unusual wildlife for that matter).
I have seen two moose this year but that is very unusual. Most years I don't see any. We have one walking through our property about once a month but we never see it. He or she comes through late at night and all we see are the footprints the next day.
Last winter, we had a few skier guests tell us of seeing a moose near the trails at Mad River Glen. One of them even hit the moose after coming around a corner and seeing it standing right in front of him. He reacted fast enough to squat down so he only bumped the moose a little bit. It must not have bothered the moose too much because it merely looked at the skier for a moment and then walked slowly into the woods.
The moose above may be the same one and, as you can see, it's a female with two calves it had this year. This moose photo and other Mad River Glen photos can be seen on the Gallery page at the Mad River Glen web site.
So, if you want to go moose spotting, the best area is the most remote part of Vermont, the Northeast Kingdom as it's known. Just try the roads around the town of Island Pond. Even if you don't see a moose, it's a beautiful area to do some sight seeing. Stop in some of the local country stores and ask around about where people have seen moose lately.

|Northwest Airlines Logo(s)
I've seen Northwest Airlines planes for many years but I never noticed something peculiar about them until it was pointed out to me a couple of weeks ago.
The logo is obviously a compass marker pointing in the northwest direction when you view the plane from the port (left) side. But if you view the airplane from the starboard side, the logo is suddenly pointing northeast!
Northwest is northwest no matter where it is viewed from. And it is so marked on every compass in the world. Why Northwest Airline chooses to do otherwise on one side of their airplanes is a mystery to me. If anyone knows why, I would appreciate hearing from you. The first one to respond gets a $30 discount voucher toward a stay here.
By the way, Northwest (recently acquired by Delta) flies twice a day between Detroit (DTW) and Burlington VT (BTV). You can see flights from all the airlines into Burlington on the BTV website. There are 45 to 50 flights a day into Burlington from 12 airports in 10 cities.
