Top 10 Scariest Anime Characters
The Top Ten Scariest Anime Characters
This guy gives me chills when he's on screen. I feel really bad for Gon, he freaks out whenever he sees Hisoka
When The Joker and Pennywise the Clown had sex, the result of that was creating Hisoka.
YUP! ! YUP! ! This dude made me want to hug Gon, because he always freaks out when it comes to... Hisoka. That dude, is just... Oh, god...
Kinda reminds me of Marilyn Manson
I love lucy she is so cute and scary
Lucy isn't very scary, but shes still awesome
Lucy had an extremely messed up childhood. She's not scary, just damaged. Damaged people (Diclonii, in her case) can do scary things, and yeah she did some bad stuff, but that doesn't necessarily make her scary.
(Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica would be at the top of this list, if I had it my way. )
She is sooo COOOL AND DARK it's epic
She is by far the cutest psycho that I have ever seen. The author really outdid himself. By far the scariest character you could possibly think of.
She is so scary. Cute and insane. The way she talks about killing is too scary. As if it is an everyday task. For her, it is. She kills without any care.
Imagine having satan as a girlfriend
She's so smart and Creepy
This girl is scary because of her near emotionless personality. The way she creeps behind people is so shocking. Don't even get me started on her assistants. Hone Onna, Ren and Wan Yudo are just as scary as her with all the weird stuff they do. - cardbeybrawl777
...Are you certain she doesn't display normal behavior? ...She resembles me...
Ai is SO Scary and cool at the same time. Like the way she just appears behind people, the way she is just emotionless makes her scary, But her "Ippen... Shinde miru? " is just so spooky and awesome. - ItsDaWorldOfSNuGGLEZ
If a robot would look like a teenage girl, then this the result.
She's emotionless.
How is a guy from Digimon scary? Sachiko is a young child who tortures others for FUN. She enjoys stabbing out eyeballs, ripping out intestines, dissecting live people, and stabs people with her SCISSORS! Oh ps, she also cut off a head of a elementary student! Dragon Ball people aren't scary and Digimon? What?!?
I don't get how one girl can be so creepy I had watched a scene of that one flashback and I had to look around my room for any sign of a little girl
How is she not number one I started watching the corpse party anime when I was 15 and I had nightmares for countless week
I think Sachiko should definitely be number 1, she is the most psychotic and horrifying by far!
HOW THE CRAP IS LUCEMON NOT TOP 5? THIS GUY IS SCARY! He may look innocent but behind his innocent mask HE IS PURE EVIL! He fooled so many people! He basically represents Satan! - ItsDaWorldOfSNuGGLEZ
Its kind of funny that a digimon character is on here...
He's not scary
Johan is literally one of a kind. Throughout the entire series of Monster I got to see this psycho at work and man it was scary. Obviously he didn't look scary but seriously, when you see his actions, they will give you nightmares.
Ironically he looks angelic but inside oozes nastiness.. Describe as a manipulative serial-killer. Of all the characters listed here. He is the only one I don't want to stumble with! This Guy may exist in real life, that's what's makes him so scary.
Why is he number 1? Because he is a manipulative phsycopath who has no real name. Through out the entire show, he is known as the Devil or the Nameless Monster. Do I even need to explain, why he's so scary? Watch Monster if you want to know what I mean. - cardbeybrawl777
He's so scary because of his both lack of emotion but also great verve. He's efficient and cruel.
He's not creepy just misunderstood... And I love him so much like seriously he's so cute!
Scary but also cute in a way ya'know?
Don't hug him, okay?
Normal people say "Russia"
Hetalia fans say "RUUSSIIAAA"
Light is an evil genius who is capable of killing anyone with a flick of a pen. Do I really need to explain why he's so scary?! - cardbeybrawl777
I agree on this one, but some of these aren't even scary. they're just really ruthless, like Cell. - llamabaconllama37
As long as this guy doesn't know your name, he can never kill you.
Light Yagami died a cold heartless bastard
Shiro has always been my most favorite character out of all the animes I've watched just because of how bubbly and cheerful she is. And how deadly she can be when her split personality (Wretched Egg) takes over.
Out of all the characters of Deadman Wonderland, why did I put Shiro. The reason I put her on this list is because of her split personality and how it comes out so unexpectedly. - cardbeybrawl777
I agree. Shiro always creeped me out, even at the beginning. Mockingbird did too. She was too happy and childish in a place like Deadman Wonderland. Her split personality was like whiplash. But overtime I came to actually like Shiro.
The Contenders
More than scary he/she is the creepiest character ever. You don't get to be the hottest looking angel and then change your gender to a guy for whatever creepy purposes you have.
This is the most evil portrayal of an angel ever. He/She is a crazy phsycopath that wants to purify the world of it's filth. Do I really need to say why he/she is so scary. Ash left the queen to die and Angela made a scary mix of both Ciel's mom and dad. - cardbeybrawl777
Ash is freaky as crap. He is all bout "purifying" and stuff but... No laugh out loud
He is both one of the cutest and one of the most terrifying characters in all of anime.
If you think Glutonny is creepy, wait til' you see Pride. He's the one of the biggest examples you can get to a character that's a true monster on the inside and outside.
Do I really need to explain this one? Getting eaten alive by this guy is such a horryfing way to die. Having a thought that a near unstoppable tub of lard that is pretty much immortal hunting you down so he can eat you alive will bring fear to anyone. - cardbeybrawl777
Wrath vs. Gluttony. Wrath is like a pebble being flicked and crunched in someone's mouth.
Holy mother of CRAP these are TERRIFYING! These creatures KILL FOR FUN! Need I say more? - wXDarkcoolXw
Creepy. Need I say more?
He is scary because he is the only anime character that is close to representing a serial killer. He murders Saya and was all like"I freed you from a curse of an evil witch" and expects Train to just stay calm what man. Do I really need to explain as to why he's so scary. Also people in my anime club ask me,"Is Creed gay? " My answer to that is maybe, since he's so obssesed with Train I'm gonna Maybe. So all I need to say is that Creed is a phsycopath who is just power hungry. - cardbeybrawl777
His tail looks like a penis but besides that he isn't scary.
Majin Buu was scarier than this guy.
Sure cell takes your insides from you slowly, but Majin Buu takes over your whole entire in seconds and he can turn you into food and/or clay.
Oh come on, the thought that this thing and absorb you with his tail just to get stronger will scare anyone. - cardbeybrawl777
The way he melts that man though... 0_0
She is a psychopath, way more crazier than Yuno in my opinion. She doesn't kill you right away, she slowly and painful tortures you. She's also cold and manipulative doing what it takes to get what she wants. Not to mention she's a sadist because she enjoys watching your pain and suffering. In my opinion, this is the creepiest character in anime. Higurashi scarred me so much.
So Higurashi has a very, very weird story that's actually composed of several stories. Shion is the creepiest character in all of them. It's not so much the murdering; anybody can do that. No, the real reason she's scary is twofold.
1: She's so incredibly manipulative of everybody around her.
And 2: How damn CALM she is when she's killing everyone. At least near the start. Then she becomes completely INSANE. The main hallmark? That laugh. The laugh that haunts my nightmares.
Why is Yuno Gasai higher than this. Just stay away from Yukki and you're fine. Nobody escapes shion. She's by far the scariest. There are ways to avoid everyone in front of her. She's never going to be avoided. I love Higurashi so much. - VocaloidFan1119
Yuno: Instantly stabs or shoots you. Done. "Yukkii! "
Shion: Slowly tortures you to death "Ahahaaha! "
Yet Yuno is No. 4 and Shion is No. 21? These Yuno guys have no idea what Hinamizawa Syndrome does to you. Hell, forget Shion, ANY character from Higurashi that contracts the late stages of Hinamizawa Syndrome is scarier anything Mirai Nikki throws at you. Well, except maybe Satoko, but she still killed her parents in extreme paranoia.
And by the way, she is NOT Mion. Watch the anime first
You´re kidding right? She is the cutest, most adorable character ever made.
I think Mei is more cute than scary. The really scary ones are the rest of the class at the end of the series.
She's a crazy stalker who even manages to scare Russia! She leaves claw marks on his door for god's sake!
A creepy brother-stalker who is obsessed with incest shipping herself with Russia (her brother)
She is pretty scary... Poor Russia
She scares me a ton
I could not sleep last night because of s stupid cat/bunny emotionless creep who is dooming innocent girls!
I had nightmares for days, I was so scared.
Don't let his looks deceive you. While he may look like your typical cutesy magical girl sidekick on the outside, on the inside...well, *spoiler alert* he turns girls into magical girls so they can fight monsters known as witches who were magical girls that were corrupted by the witch essence left on their transformation devices, thus the magical girls are slowly getting corrupted into the monsters themselves, and when they get destroyed by the magical girls, they get turned into corrupted and destroyed transformation devices where they are then somehow eaten by Kyubey just to keep his race alive. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Yeaaah, it was probably right that Homura tried to kill this creepily adorable manipulator from turning Madoka into the ultimate magical girl to destroy the world... - OnyxDash
Luckaly only 2!
Did you know for some resion the pictures on Google images are more scary than the animation
look it up if you don't beleve me
Like this is really the only anime character that still scares me
and I have wached toyko ghoul
This is literally the only anime character I can think of that has ever made me fearful of an anime show. He is not the most powerful villain in the world, he is not a serial killer or a representation of death. He is simple a alchemical scientist and a dad. The thing that makes him so un-comparably scary is the lengths he has gone for the sake of his research. In the series it was noted that he murdered his wife through alchemy to further his research of chimeras and years after lying to everyone about her death he conducts an experiment with the family dog and his daughter essentially fusing the two to create an inexplicably eerie chimera with his daughters emotions and thoughts still attached. In probably the darkest scene I have ever witnessed, this man deserves to be at the top. Chills have never failed to follow the thoughts of this scene even after so many years of this anime's release.
This man turned his one and only daughter into a talking chimera by combining her with her dog. Why did he do this? To save his State Alchemist Certification.
Shou Tucker = The Worst Father Ever.
The most hated anime charecter ever (spoopy)
She hump a table!
How dare she knock up the table. The table is nothing wrong... Despite being a tab,e
I feel so bad for Table-Kun... she raped him...
Satan incarnate in a dress. The combo between innocent appearance and calm sadism is just petrifying. If I woke up and saw her staring at me I would die before I had time to scream. Needs to be Top 5 for sure
Her theme... Oh GOD, her theme!
This girl should be higer. she's and actual creep. Could be besties with Yuno
Besides the fact that he's so hot and sexy, Orochimaru is exactly the definition of word creepy. He's scary and creepy on a cool, sexy way.
This guy is a snake-pedo-man. Jesus, I mean sure he's a great villain (despite doing disturbing things with his body) but I mean he is OBSESSED with Sasuke. We all know he has a shrine of him in his bedroom. It's gross.
Just horrifying
Jason is a ghoul from Tokyo ghoul that fancies killing and harming. Even his face looks like some kind of monster that just ate 1000 people in 10 seconds. He has a room that he calls "playroom". In the room he has dozens of tools for torture, hundreds of buckets full of clipped fingers and toes of the victms. Lastly, there world be a chair where the victm is locked up.
P.S. the dead body of the victm will always be on the chair until the new on comes in!
This guy is a really well done villan. I mean come on an evil sorcerer that can turn you into a demon with a blink of an eye well derserves a spot on this count down - cardbeybrawl777
Well he isn't scary he's just OP badass
Pride. Looks like Alucard from Hellsing had a child.
Oh what a cute little chil- OH HECK NO
Jesus.. watching this series and seing this guy in it just sent me the shivers. I hate him. And he also keeps kids as servants?! I think this guy needs to be moved up.
He's crazy. That's all that I can say.
How can this creepy girl is not in the list? I thought she is on the top 10! Shine is scarier though.
Love her, definitely the creepiest laugh I ever heard
Something about him is just...off
That guy when he was 11 years old he is flipping scary but when he was younger he was really cute.
As a teen he is really hot though
This guy will kill for the sake of living...which means he LIVES TO KILL. He has a demon inside of him, and it makes him all the more dangerous.When he's killing, he will make THE scariest smile you've EVER seen (Except for psycho killers' faces...) Gaara is the sheer definition of psycho ninja. He does get a little less scary in Naruto Shippuden, so my point is he's a lot scarier in Naruto. (During the Chunin exams) - wXDarkcoolXw
One of garaas most brutal kills was in the chunky exams one of the genine had a umbrella he took the umbrella and squished him like a bug with sand and used the umbrella to not get the blood dropping from the sky
Don't mess with the Ackermans
Hanji is actually said be the scariest when angry. But don't frack Mikasa or Levi. You won't walk out alive.
Don't frack with the Ackermans. But don't forget that Isayama said that Hanji Zoe is actually the scariest when angry. Still, don't piss of Levi either.
I like Brianne de Chateau.
Envy should be in the Top 10.
He can change his appearance to appear to like anyone anything you're afraid of. You might not know whether could be standing right in front of you.
I understand for those who don't watch this show, but for people who do, it is accurate. This cute, tiny, pink-haired girl is not cotton candy. She blows her lover into the sky if he's seen looking at another girl.
His face and movements makes him the most creepy thing I have ever laid my eyes on.
Midosuji is just misunderstood. What happened to his mom was really sad.
She seems like your fairly normal textbook kuudere at first...until you realize that that's only because she has no soul. And then there's the weird scene with the Rei clones being dismembered...while laughing. And the Kentucky Fried Rei, and the Giant Naked Rei, and the original Rei getting strangled.
Why isn't he on the list already? He haunts me in my dreams... - Absolite
He is one of the strongest pirates in the world and he has a oversized mouth, and he is a wanted man worth 400 million bellies. Do I need to say more
Moral of the story: Do not mess with someone who can take down over 50,000 people with just a glare and easily stomp you, even if they are idiots.
He can start hitting you in the Face just because you think pie is better than meat
Can be caring, playful, smart but also deceptive, demented, cunning and vengeful. She is a better and much more complex vesion of Yuno Gasai or to be precise Yuno Gasai is a boring, one-dimensional version of Shion Sonozaki.
The girl watched Rika comitting suicide, and she was cracking up

I have been following and enjoying the work of genocidal USBM group Kommandant since they first made Kontakt with us via their 2010 EP. Their second album 'The Draconian Archetype' followed on from that in 2012 and got the comment from me stating "At the least this album is spiteful but most of the time it is downright vicious." Naturally 3rd album The Architects Of Extermination' was quick to end up on my review pile when it arrived and I prepared myself within my concrete bunker with anticipation and a certain amount of trepidation before pressing play.
'Let Our Vengeance Rise' does not drop a bomb on me straight off but builds as title suggests and the band get prepared to unleash total annihilation. Atmosphere is grim and austere from the off and there is a feel of orthodoxy about the bands destructive blackened craft. Militaristic drums slowly build and the crush is deathly when it arrives but with a sense of grandeur about it as I wait for utter extinction to rain down. Shells land with the title track and it's a devastating experience that is akin to all-out war. The rumble and bass flattening thud with drums blasting away and hellish underlying vocals are pretty much as relentless as I had anticipated. At the heart of it though as things slow and eerie sounds swirl out the speakers there is a ghostly feel and the band illustrate a bit of an experimental streak within their main-frame. Vocals are of note and (if I can keep up with the somewhat confusing revolving line up of the band) Marcus Matthew Kolar ex Krieg and Nachtmystium takes on a sermon sounding delivery that is reminiscent of the likes of Mortuus and Attila. By the time we are dropped into the now strange warzone of Oedipism with some real bouncing riffs uncoiling like a spring it is clear that the band have developed considerably since last album and have a lot more weapons to torture with rather than going for an instant kill.
There's definitely a real European vibe to this and a bit of an industrial feel with some of the militant drumming and martial dictatorial rhythms and as the Chicagoans march onwards it all leaves a really nasty taste in the mouth. The fact that the band appear in gasmasks, singer commanding over a pulpit from the live photos I have seen makes it all the grimmer. There is a huge restraint about some of the music and it's sinister overtones really come through more than in the past as the band now are much more akin to take their feet off the pedal and allow them to pervade the music, the booming sombre tones of 'Killing Word' being a particular chilling case in point. Let off the leash to blast away and thud barbed missiles down without mercy though as on 'Rise And Fall Of Empire' one gets the idea that prisoners of war are not something the band will take as they hit like a bullet to the back of the skull.
This is a pretty damn unpleasant listen in all the right ways, if you are looking for something happy avoid this like the plague, if however you want to feel like you are sitting on a throne of bones looking down on the remains of everyone who has pissed you off in life, it'll do the job admirably.
(8/10 Pete Woods)

By Rudy Lavaux 14.07.2018
Last year's Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle certainly took the world by surprise. Released to critical and even commercial success, it was designed from the get-go to receive a slew of DLC in the form of new playable maps and challenges, as well as all new weapons. However, the big bulk of the DLC opportunities were always going to be a completely new world to explore, in a new story arc separate from the main adventure. This one, Donkey Kong Adventure, is now available either for those who already bought the initial physical release, as an eShop download, or, better yet for those who have yet to take the plunge, as part of the newly released physical "Gold Edition," which includes both the base game released last year and the Season Pass, which thus includes all DLC straight on the cartridge itself.
Those wretched Rabbids have done it again. Fooling around like any good Rabbid would with the dimension travelling washing machine seen in the main game, Rabbid DK gets sent into another dimension, along with Rabbid Peach who was just passing through there and thought it a good idea to try recharging her phone using said machine. The two, along with a bunch of other Rabbid goons, drop in on the real Donkey Kong on DK Island, where all but Rabbid Peach start causing chaos for a... well no, not for a change, cause that's what they always do. Rabbid Peach, of course, needs no introduction. She's back with her smartphone, snapping selfies at every turn and acting the diva part as well as ever. By and large, she's exactly the same, in game, as she was before, although she has a whole new array of blaster guns to play with this time around and her skill tree is ever so slightly changed: the amount of times some of her skills can be upgraded has changed a little and she has a new skill affecting the amount of damage she deals to shelters. The stars, however, are the other two playable characters.
Donkey Kong is the true focus of attention of this DLC pack as not only is he insanely powerful but a lot of the new environmental actions that can be performed are exclusive to him. Donkey Kong's main weapon is the bwananarang, a boomerang banana as the name suggests that has the ability to hit multiple enemies in one turn of action while going around shelters, ignoring them completely so that no enemy within range is safe.
Then, his secondary is a close range repeated ground pound that can be pretty scary in how much damage it can deal. As said earlier, he is really powerful indeed, but that's not all. He also has the ability to pick up most shelter blocks, be they explosive ones, honey blocks, or just the regular stone blocks that otherwise offer full cover, run with them even through pipes, and then after moving closer to the enemy, still throw those blocks some additional distance away for some serious damage. Then, as if that wasn't enough to convince anyone of his ridiculous advantage over enemies, he can also grab his partners in the same way and throw them to make them gain some extra distance or, as is the case with the final, third playable character, throw him up in the air so he can damage everything within a certain zone from mid-air before landing back on the ground.
The latter is none other than Rabbid Cranky. He may not be quite as much at the centre of the action itself like DK is but he's a force to be reckoned with all the same. His boombow, a crossbow kind of weapon, doesn't just hit everything in front of it, which means that like DK's weapon, it can hit multiple enemies in one go, too, but it also has a long cone-shaped area of effect. Then his secondary is, as expected for anyone who knows he actually is THE Donkey Kong from the original 1981 game, the barrel throw.
Cranky has a secondary that can hit things at a distance and with yet again an area of effect for hitting potentially multiple targets at once. Furthermore, Cranky's starting arsenal has a vampirism effect for draining enemy HP and getting some free heals. Otherwise, Rabbid Peach will remain the de facto healer of the group, which explains why she is the one returning character.
For better or for worse, although this is not completely unexpected since this is additional downloadable content and not a full new game, those three characters will be the only ones playable for the whole duration of the short side-adventure, which somewhat limits the possibilities of combining different characters for different strategies. As a result of this, or maybe as a deliberate design choice, the overall difficulty level finds itself lowered since less possible strategies makes it less likely to get it completely wrong when it comes to solving an otherwise complex situation on the battlefield. Well, that and the aforementioned insane power that the two new characters found themselves blessed with. The base game is, no doubt, a challenging one indeed, at least for anyone who's not into the XCOM-like genre of tactical games to begin with. This DLC pack turns out more fun for that fraction of the audience as a result, but perhaps less so for those few who may have been expecting more of a challenge from the DLC chapters. With that being said, though, really, the highlight of the base game was the story and characters themselves, the colourful and beautiful universe, and the humour thrown all over it.
This DLC pack may lack the breadth of cut-scenes present in the original, but what is there is completely hilarious, perhaps even more so than in the original. The way in which the Donkey Kong licence was used is also brilliant. Grant Kirkhope having composed the soundtrack of the game, it comes as no surprise that the music of the overworld is a new take on the DK Island theme from Donkey Kong 64 but nods to other DK games are present throughout, such as whenever a battle is won, the stage complete fanfare from the original Donkey Kong Country plays. It is a pleasure both for the ears and for the eyes for any fan of Donkey Kong who may be longing for some new, exclusive DK content on Switch after the port of the Wii U title Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. DK's model is as well animated as other Mario characters seen in last year's initial release.
Donkey Kong Adventure feels overall like the same base game but with new ideas brought forth by the new characters' and enemies' abilities and new stage design opportunities that the DK universe makes possible, although all within a smaller scale product fit for DLC and, again, an overall sense of lower difficulty. For anyone who had left the game aside after completing it to dedicate themselves to other great titles available on Switch, this new adventure warrants popping the cartridge back in for a few more hours of fun that doesn't overstay its welcome but is a more condensed bundle of fun that allows one to vent any frustration they may have by punishing some Rabbids once again.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - Donkey Kong Adventure turns out to be much less focused on strategy this time around but more on the actual enjoyment of the story and universe with more laid back battles that are easier to approach than the rest of the full package, in no small part due to how powerful Donkey Kong and Rabbid Cranky are in battle. The base game had lots of charm with its colourful and humorous universe and this is all intact here, if not even more pleasant than ever before. The small downside to this is that those who loved the base for the challenge and variety of possible strategies will not quite find the same depth here. For others, though, this will be a solid addition to an already solid experience.

The Adventure Paddleboarding Seventy Thirty Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) is designed for 70% surf use and 30% flat water paddling. This versatile hybrid SUP focuses more on performance, and is ideal if riding waves is your primary motivation, but you still enjoy going on calm water adventures with your friends and family.
The Adventure Paddleboarding Seventy Thirty Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) is designed for 70% surf use and 30% flat water paddling. This versatile hybrid SUP focuses more on performance, and is ideal if riding waves is your primary motivation, but you still enjoy going on calm water adventures with your friends and family.
OUTLINE: Slightly more refined compared to the Adventure Paddleboarding Sixty Forty, yet still offering great stability through the mid zone for maintaining balance on waves and in turbulent water. The tail is also rounder, offering a smoother turning arc.
ROCKER: The rocker has been increased in the nose and tail to enhance wave riding performance, and allow for tighter turns. A relaxed section through the middle means the Adventure Paddleboarding Seventy Thirty will still provide great forward acceleration and flow in flat water.
VOLUME: While most of the volume resides through the mid-section, the nose and tail, along with the rails have been foiled to enhance control when riding waves. Soft, medium-to-high volume rails balance stability and sensitivity, and are very forgiving when pivoting off the tail.
FEATURES: Versatile 2 1 set up with FCS II side plugs lets you customise the feel for different conditions. Comfortable cavity handle for convenient transportation, soft deck traction with integrated arch bar and tail kick. Additional nose plugs for creating a forward storage zone, plus a bonus nose plug for mounting a GoPro.
PERFORMANCE: The displacement hull reduces slapping in bumpier surf conditions, and a more pronounced single-to-double concave vee combination enhances rail-to-rail sensitivity. Our new lightweight Carbon Fusion (CX) construction makes land mobility easier, and is aimed at the more astute paddler wanting a SUP with exceptional strength-to-weight radio.
Production wieghts: 8'8 – 8.35kg / 18.4lb. | 9'4 – 9.23kg / 20.34 | 10'0 – 10kg / 22lb.
All Adventure Paddleboard SUPs use 16kg Density EPS foam
NOTE: rider weight is based on board volume and intermediate rider skill level.

Carbon Fusion (CX) is a multi-layer sandwich construction that's formed through the use of several vacuum bag processes. The goal of this construction is to build a light-weight, strong and performance orientated board. Consisting of two layers of carbon, multiple layers of fibreglass and unidirectional carbon tape applied to a medium density EPS core, the vacuum bagging process is done after each layer is applied to ensure the maximum bond is formed, without an excess use of epoxy resin. This process produces a superb product that will more than meet the requirements of paddlers who want to push their performance.

ScotGems (SGEM) was launched June of 2017, and aims to deliver long-term capital growth from a portfolio of small cap companies operating in emerging markets. Managed by Stewart Investors, with Ashish Swarup as lead manager, the trust has a highly concentrated portfolio with just 25 holdings.
The manager's investment style is inherently conservative, focusing on the downside risks as well as on the upside potential of any investment. Capital preservation is deemed as important to the manager as capital growth and this means that the trust has an extremely low beta and standard deviation relative to peers. Ideas are generated through the manager's vast network of connections, and the team anticipate meeting over 1,000 companies over a year. This is a key part of the process, with the manager looking to recognise company ambitions, expectations and the way in which the company is run.
Since the inception of the trust two years ago, the trust has struggled in performance terms. Since launch, the trust has delivered -2.9% NAV total returns. In comparison, the trust's 'comparative indices', the MSCI ACWI, MSCI ACWI Small Cap and MSCI Emerging Markets, have delivered NAV total returns of 19.1%, 7.3% and 7.3% respectively. Much of this is due to the strict valuation and quality criteria the manager has, and the fact that the most expensive companies have been those that have performed the strongest. Alongside this, the company has been deploying cash during this time and even at this stage has 13.1% of the portfolio in cash. Performance has improved year to date, with the trust delivering NAV total returns of 1.3%. Nevertheless, the trust has still struggled relative to peers and the company's comparative indices.
After reaching heights of a 6% premium after launch, the trust has seen considerable discount volatility since then, and shareholders have found the discount widening to a c. 15% discount level. Since then, the discount has narrowed and the trust currently trades at close to 8% below par.

Mets World Series weather forecast: Low 50s for first pitch, 40s by end of the game
If you're heading to Citi Field Friday night to see the Mets mount their comeback attempt in the 111th Fall Classic, dress warmly.
And if you want to watch batting practice, get there early. Gates open 21/2 hours before game time.
Losers of the first two games, the Mets take on the Kansas City Royals in Game 3 of the World Series. First pitch is scheduled for 8:07 p.m.
News 12 Long Island meteorologist Rich Hoffman said temperatures for tailgaters will be near 60 degrees with sunshine through sunset.
After that, you might want to consider mittens and some long underwear.
"Low 50s for the first pitch under clear skies," Hoffman said, "and in the 40s by the end of the game."
There are some rules for tailgaters: No alcohol is permitted, and open-flame grilling devices also are prohibited. One parking spot per vehicle, too.
The Mets have most of their rules for watching and utilizing Citi Field at http://atmlb.com/1DW3TJB.
There's a code of conduct, if you aren't familiar with protocol. Plus there are 15 restrooms at the ballpark.
And, if you're taking a little one, diaper-changing tables are located in all concourse restrooms.

Readings for Sunday, November 2, 2008
Proper 26 November 2, 2008
Matthew 23:1-12; 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13; Micah 3:5-12; Psalm 43
Matthew 23
Religious Fashion Shows
1-3 Now Jesus turned to address his disciples, along with the crowd that had gathered with them. "The religion scholars and Pharisees are competent teachers in God's Law. You won't go wrong in following their teachings on Moses. But be careful about following them. They talk a good line, but they don't live it. They don't take it into their hearts and live it out in their behavior. It's all spit-and-polish veneer.
4-7″Instead of giving you God's Law as food and drink by which you can banquet on God, they package it in bundles of rules, loading you down like pack animals. They seem to take pleasure in watching you stagger under these loads, and wouldn't think of lifting a finger to help. Their lives are perpetual fashion shows, embroidered prayer shawls one day and flowery prayers the next. They love to sit at the head table at church dinners, basking in the most prominent positions, preening in the radiance of public flattery, receiving honorary degrees, and getting called 'Doctor' and 'Reverend.'
8-10″Don't let people do that to you, put you on a pedestal like that. You all have a single Teacher, and you are all classmates. Don't set people up as experts over your life, letting them tell you what to do. Save that authority for God; let him tell you what to do. No one else should carry the title of 'Father'; you have only one Father, and he's in heaven. And don't let people maneuver you into taking charge of them. There is only one Life-Leader for you and them-Christ.
11-12″Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant. If you puff yourself up, you'll get the wind knocked out of you. But if you're content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty.
The Message (MSG)Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson
1 Thessalonians 2:9-13
9-12You remember us in those days, friends, working our fingers to the bone, up half the night, moonlighting so you wouldn't have the burden of supporting us while we proclaimed God's Message to you. You saw with your own eyes how discreet and courteous we were among you, with keen sensitivity to you as fellow believers. And God knows we weren't freeloaders! You experienced it all firsthand. With each of you we were like a father with his child, holding your hand, whispering encouragement, showing you step-by-step how to live well before God, who called us into his own kingdom, into this delightful life.
13And now we look back on all this and thank God, an artesian well of thanks! When you got the Message of God we preached, you didn't pass it off as just one more human opinion, but you took it to heart as God's true word to you, which it is, God himself at work in you believers!
The Message (MSG)Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson
Micah 3:5-12
5-7Here is God's Message to the prophets,
the preachers who lie to my people:
"For as long as they're well paid and well fed,
the prophets preach, 'Isn't life wonderful! Peace to all!'
But if you don't pay up and jump on their bandwagon,
their 'God bless you' turns into 'God damn you.'
Therefore, you're going blind. You'll see nothing.
You'll live in deep shadows and know nothing.
The sun has set on the prophets.
They've had their day; from now on it's night.
Visionaries will be confused,
experts will be all mixed up.
They'll hide behind their reputations and make lame excuses
to cover up their God-ignorance."
8But me-I'm filled with God's power,
filled with God's Spirit of justice and strength,
Ready to confront Jacob's crime
and Israel's sin.
9-12The leaders of Jacob and
the leaders of Israel are
Leaders contemptuous of justice,
who twist and distort right living,
Leaders who build Zion by killing people,
who expand Jerusalem by committing crimes.
Judges sell verdicts to the highest bidder,
priests mass-market their teaching,
prophets preach for high fees,
All the while posturing and pretending
dependence on God:
"We've got God on our side.
He'll protect us from disaster."
Because of people like you,
Zion will be turned back into farmland,
Jerusalem end up as a pile of rubble,
and instead of the Temple on the mountain,
a few scraggly scrub pines.
The Message (MSG)Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson
Psalm 43
1-2 Clear my name, God; stick up for me against these loveless, immoral people.
Get me out of here, away
from these lying degenerates.
I counted on you, God.
Why did you walk out on me?
Why am I pacing the floor, wringing my hands
over these outrageous people?
3-4 Give me your lantern and compass,
give me a map,
So I can find my way to the sacred mountain,
to the place of your presence,
To enter the place of worship,
meet my exuberant God,
Sing my thanks with a harp,
magnificent God, my God.
5 Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul?
Why are you crying the blues?
Fix my eyes on God-
soon I'll be praising again.
He puts a smile on my face.
He's my God.

CPFB Wins Trial on Behalf of Consumers Mislead by Loan Servicer
From time to time we have posted information about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") because it is an extraordinary agency fighting in the trenches for everyday consumers against big business, including financial institutions that are scamming Americans. On Friday September 8, 2017 the CFPB won a trial in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California before Judge Richard Seeborg. The CFPB won $7.9 million in its case against Nationwide Biweekly Administration Inc. and its subsidiary, Loan Payment Administration, and its owner, Daniel Lipsk. The CFPB presented testimony by experts as well as everyday consumers, including a retired schoolteacher and a member of the armed services and an FBI agent (all who testified that they had personally been tricked by the defendants).
In finding against the Defendants, the Court considered whether a "reasonable consumer" would be misled by the defendant mortgage loan servicer's tactics and concluded that he or she would likely be misled. The Court concluded that consumers would be likely to misunderstand the promises that were made regarding savings to be had and would be misled and deceived regarding the relationship between the defendants and the consumer's lenders.
The case is notable – not only because of the $7.9 million dollar recovery – but because it demonstrates that the CFPB is willing to take cases to trial in order to fulfill its mission, which is to "make consumer financial markets work for consumers, responsible providers, and the economy as a whole." It is further the mission of the CFPB to "protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and take action against companies that break the law." See, https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/the-bureau/.
Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP has a long track record of representing consumers, small businesses, employees and whistleblowers who have been the victim of financial fraud, including in consumer class actions.

What is it like being a full-time travel blogger? The ugly, the bad and the good
I sort of fell into becoming a full-time travel blogger and digital nomad. After a sudden change in my work circumstances, I decided to shift my attention to blogging on a full-time basis. Now into my second month — though it feels like 6 — I'm sticking it with. However, it's coming at a cost.
'Nothing good comes easy' as they say, and that's definitely true when it comes to blogging. Once you decide to go full time, you either choose to go the distance, or fall at the first hurdle.
As the title of this post suggest, I'll list the ugly truths first, then the bad, and lastly the good. This way, you can decide whether going full time is for you — or whether it puts you off for good!
The realities of being a full-time travel blogger
The ugly
Never-ending work
When you start blogging in general, you quickly realize how much work goes into one post. Being a good blogger is hard, but being a good full-time blogger is 10 times the effort. From the planning to the promotion stage, it's constant.
Every article becomes a mini project, with its own SEO strategy plan. For the non-suspecting reader, all they see is the polished product. But for the blogger behind the words and pictures, it's many hours stuck behind a screen.
I work solo, so everything's on me. From planning the articles and writing, to taking photos and managing my social media, it's a one-person job.

Minimal pay
Turning your blog into a business, and getting paid from it isn't easy, especially at the start. Seeing the low numbers from your affiliates is discouraging, and will make you question why you're doing it.
I recommend researching well any affiliate programs you sign up to, and more importantly, to give it some time. You need to have a lot of patience, persistence and dedication to succeed. And that's before you even start seeing results.
That said, I offset the minimal pay from my blog by doing freelance work — yes, even more work! My 15+ years' experience working in communications allows me to explore different avenues of income as a digital nomad. While I'm far from where I want to be, I'm prepared to stick to it, and be successful.
A slave to social media
This may come as a surprise to read, but as a blogger, I don't actually like social media. I'm very private, and don't use it for any personal use, nor have I any desire to be on it. So, it's pretty ironic that I currently manage 8 platforms, and a few others on a freelance basis too.
Managing my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Bloglovin and YouTube is ridiculously time consuming. After a while, you'll begin to feel like a zombie, given how much time you spend on social media.
To counter this, I aim to post 1 to 2 times a day — though not across all platforms. Scheduling websites like Buffer and Tailwind do help, but you still have to engage with comments in order to grow.
The bad
Traveling full time
Going full time means traveling on a full-time basis, right? Wrong. I don't actually travel full time, but I do travel more. And when I'm away for long periods— and solo — it's a struggle being away from home.
My social media channels will tell a different, and happier, story however. It's especially difficult if, like me, you really enjoy being at home. One of my simplest pleasures is eating homemade focaccia with my partner on the sofa. And that's something I can't get on any of my travels, no matter how incredible the destination.
"After a while, you'll begin to feel like a zombie, given how much time you spend on social media."
Me, myself and my laptop
If I wasn't attached, my significant other would be my laptop. Morning, afternoon, and early evening, we spend a lot of my waking hours together. Long periods of solitude are something you get used to as a full-time blogger, and it can take its toll.
Some days I'm working so hard, I don't leave the house. And while it's true I get more done, the long-term effects can be damaging. To counter this, I give myself a cut-off time, and also take frequent mini breaks.
I also try to exercise daily. Walking, running or any form of physical activity is a big help, and boosts serotonin in the brain. It also helps me to work smarter, not harder.
Lack of a social life
The more time you spend blogging full time, the less time you'll have to socialize. This may not apply to everyone, but it does in my case.
I'll still turn up to important events, but most likely not to invitations for a last-minute drink or coffee. Sad, but true. It's something you have to decide whether it's worth sacrificing, which for me at this moment, it is.
Less passionate about blogging
Like most bloggers, my blog started life as a hobby, and a part-time one too. In those days, I gave zero thought to SEO or how much engagement I received from my latest Instagram post. I published posts once a month, and wrote sentences that went beyond the 20-word rule. In a word, I really enjoyed blogging and the entire creative process.
As a full-time blogger, I don't have the same approach I did when I started. While the passion to travel is still there, I think more strategically for my blog than for my own enjoyment.
The good
The traveling
When you step off a flight into a new country, city or small town, the thought of work doesn't cross your mind. For work assignments, it's trickier of course, as you need to take notes for your write-up. However, for the most part, traveling reminds you why you started blogging in the first place.
Ultimately, it's that feeling of wanting others to experience the highs of a destination, while also being wary of the lows. For me personally, it's that awesome sensation that I'm living, and seeing sights I never thought I'd see.
The results
The biggest and best high is when you see any kind of good result. Whether it's an increase in traffic on your website, or better engagement on your social media, it's a win. For me, I recently hit the 20k mark in monthly traffic, which is a huge achievement for me.
When I see these wins, however small, it gives me the sign that I'm doing something right. It also encourages me to keep going, and more importantly, reminds me why I wanted to go full-time.
Another encouraging sign from seeing a 'win' is getting paid for your hard work. I'm now at a point where companies are approaching me, and wanting to collaborate — and paying me well. I'm also securing more press trips and sponsorships that will help to raise my profile.
"The biggest and best high is when you see any kind of good result. Whether it's an increase in traffic on your website, or better engagement on your social media, it's a win. "
The learning
A real plus of going full time is having the time to read and learn from other bloggers. Joining valuable Facebook groups is a good starting point to connect with others.
Knowing that you've been doing nearly everything wrong is a hard pill to swallow. However, the sooner you understand where you've been going wrong, the sooner you can fix it. Constantly learning and adding to your knowledge portfolio is never a bad thing. That, plus you end up picking up essential transferable skills that you can use for the future.
The community
No matter how much I moan about my dislike of social media, it's essential for growing your blog, and audience. Thanks to several Facebook groups I belong to, I've gained more followers, views, and most importantly traffic to my site.
After a while, you become familiar with the regulars in each group, which reinforces a sense of community. It's highly likely I'll ever meet these people in person, but it's comforting to know that I'm not alone.
Most people in the real world will never relate to what it's like to blog full time. But, the online community are always there to support and advise on any blogging issue. And in the end, that's what always draws me back.
Independence and flexibility
One of the biggest factors that pushed me to go freelance, was that I wanted to be independent. I enjoy the freedom of working anywhere I want, and when I went. Sure, I may have to work on a Saturday morning, but come Monday, it's free to do as I please.
I also love that my schedule is flexible, as it gives me the freedom to book my next travel when I want.

The Montane Featherlite Velo H2O Jacket is, perhaps, a confusing garment. It's not waterproof, has hardly any features, is paper-thin and needs to be regularly reproofed to maintain what qualities it does have.
This model, using Freeflow H2O fabric, is now a bit hidden on Montane's website. A Google search will locate it in the 'shell' section. Assuming it doesn't feature in the new season, the closest alternative is probably the (cheaper) Featherlite Velo.
So why buy such a seemingly specialist, minimalist piece of kit? I've found it to be perfect for my needs.
The primary purpose of this jacket is for my commute, and I have a particular kind of commute: 10 mins to the station in Manchester, train to London, 20 mins to the office, 20 mins to Liverpool Street, train, 10 mins to my lodgings in Chelmsford. Repeat, with a slight variation, three times a week.
I've been riding this routine in all weathers for the last four months and the Featherlite Velo H2O has been an excellent performer.
So just how waterproof is it? The simple answer is, 'enough'. It has taped seams and the DWR treatment is good, and water beads on the fabric well. Montane recommend you reproof every six months and I'll follow these guidelines closely rather than the tardy care routine I apply to other items of outdoor gear.
As you might expect, the jacket is windproof and achieves an acceptable balance with breathability. I ride warm, though. A frosty, two-degree sprint to the station here in the north was fine the other morning. Others may find it inadequate.
The jacket performs best over a long-sleeved merino base layer. It's not so good next to the skin as things can get a little damp if you are working hard. Vents in the back of the jacket help to deal with perspiration around the body, but the arms are most at risk from clamminess as the sleeves fit snugly. The Spartan spec includes reflective trim on the arms and full-length zipper and a draw cord waist.
On the subject of fit, the Montane again works for me. My lanky 6'6" frame fits an extra large perfectly… close without being restrictive. The sleeve length is pretty much perfect on the bike, the drop hem a reassuring butt-coverer.
Three other factors really win out for me with this garment. It dries very quickly, weighs next to nothing (a measly 160g on the kitchen scales), and packs down easily into its mesh stuff sack. It lives in the rear pocket of my Carradice City folder when not in use.
It now accompanies on long days in the saddle on my Audax, but only when I have confidence that the weather will be all about showers rather than heavy downpours. For the latter, particularly on tour, I'd want something more substantial.

Nelson & Lisa Monteiro serve in Joao Pessoa, Brazil.
Nelson and Lisa Monteiro are based in Joao Pessoa, northeastern Brazil and have been serving as missionaries there since 2011. They developed Institute One27, a local church initiative that trains young Brazilians to be servant-leaders, impacting society with God's truth, love, and justice and bringing Kingdom transformation to Brazil and to the nations. The Institute runs a School of Training and Mentorship (ETEM) and has a variety of outreach projects in the needy community of Vila Feliz. Nelson also is the facilitator for two global movements, The Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA) Brazil and Church and Community Based Higher Education (CaCHE). DNA is a global network of evangelical churches and organizations. It exists to help the church rise to her full potential as God's principal agent in restoring, healing and blessing broken nations. This purpose is accomplished by equipping God's people in local churches to be agents of transformation in society. CaCHE's mission is to make high-quality discipleship-driven college education based on a Christian worldview available to young people around the globe. Both Cache and DNA provide valuable input into Institute One27. To learn more about Institute One27 and the work of Nelson and Lisa, please contact them.
We believe when people engage in service, it leads to life change. Our short-term trips provide opportunities for people to serve together in various locations around the world. Our belief is that as people chose to serve, whether in one of our churches, in the local community, or around the world, the impact of that service will change lives—for those serving, for the people they serve, and even for those that see them choosing to give their time to help someone else.
For those of you who have not gotten involved, we hope this will be the year you choose to begin a lifestyle of service. And to those who are serving, we just want to say thank you. You are the reason the mission is being accomplished.


text: My dad taught me how to pack: lay out everything. Put back half. Roll things that roll. Wrinkle-prone things on top of cotton things. Then pants, waist-to-hem. Nooks and crannies for socks. Belts around the sides like snakes. Plastic over that. Then, add shoes. Wear heavy stuff. We started when I was little. I'd roll up socks. Then he'd put me in the suitcase. Some guys bond with their dads shooting hoops or talking about Chevrolets. We did it over luggage. By the time I was twelve, if my Dad was busy, I'd pack for him. Mom tried but didn't have the knack. He'd get somewhere for work, open his suitcase and text me —"Perfect." That one word from him meant a lot. The funeral was terrible —my Dad laid out in that big carton and me thinking, Look at all that wasted space.

by Rogue Wave
- Record Label: Brushfire
- Release Date: Sep 18, 2007
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The Oakland quartet, now on Jack Johnson's Brushfire imprint, has a greater sense of urgency, sharper edges, and a more mature sound overall.
Its third and most ambitious release. 'Asleep' is notable for its beefed-up instrumentation and an overall darker tone than its predecessors.
SpinThis Oakland quartet teams with Yo Ma Tengo producer Roger Moutenot to create a make-or-break manifesto that often trumps indie rock's big-leaguers. [Oct 2007, p.110]
Asleep at Heaven's Gate now continues that same kind of expert carnival of noise, even as its songs are longer (six of the 12 creep over five minutes) and flirt with jam-band explorations. Oddly, though, it feels like a step back.
Under The RadarDespite not being Rogue Wave's best album, it's still a lot better than what the average band produces. [Summer 2007, p.77]
It's the songs that are swollen, and Rogue Wave will likely remain a moderately successful act whose new album is slept on because its floral solidity isn't enough to hold up the heft of its length.
Similarities in vocals will mean that Lazy Shins Comparisons are inevitable, but when Rogue Wave break out of the confines of indie-by-association they prove they are a fine band indeed.
The problem with Asleep at Heaven's Gate is that the second half isn't nearly as strong as the first.
The quartet has continued down the big, dreamy path, but this time, it's made things longer and denser, and as a result, Asleep At Heaven's Gate ends up feeling more sluggish than it should.
MojoIt may be that RW are out to capitalise on previous use of their music in shows such as "The O.C." and "Weeds," but Rogue's voice--as angelic and tender as those of Buckleys Tim and Jeff--is a joy throughout. [June 2008, p.103]
Q MagazineAsleep at Heaven's Gate is still as polite and polished as the "edgy" mainstream dramas it will no doubt continue to soundtrack. [June 2008, p.146]
UncutJust prepare for a Rogue Wave deluge. [June 2008, p.102]
['Fantasies' and 'Missed' are] mere tasty morsels amidst a mass of mid-tempo gelatin resulting from nearly arbitrary song structure ('Own Your Own Home'), bland chord progressions ("Ghost"), or one-take studio dickery ('Phonytown') that renders the closer, 'Cheaper Than Therapy,' a five-and-a-half minute afterthought.
Asleep at Heaven's Gate isn't a bad record, it's an unnecessary one and there's really no excuse for that.
Asleep at Heaven's Gate is strangely flawed because the warmth of the first two albums has been exchanged for grandeur and detached shellac. By no means is this a fall from grace for Rogue Wave, but it is the band's first significant stumble.
Most of Asleep at Heaven's Gate is forgettable, uninspired, middle-of-the-road indie pop.

"Descenced Like Vultures" was a Not as solid as their 2 previous Sub Pop releases. I highly recommend getting "Out of the Shadows" first. "Descenced Like Vultures" was a grower, but I now appreciate it as much as the first album. I don't know if it's the new producer (from Bill Racine to Roger Moutenot) or new label, but something is definitely amiss. The band is excellent as always, but honestly it just comes down to songwriting; the quality is just not there in comparison to their earlier stuff. I definitely appreciate the evolution of the music, but Zach Rogue is an incredible songwriter, and Rogue Wave fans can tell you, this guy has written very few unlikeable songs. While there are definitely gems here that could've easily fit on DLV (essentially the first 6 songs), but I agree with the Pitchfork review. The last half of the album is full of mostly forgettable melodies, which for Rogue Wave is very shocking. This guy knows how to write a catchy-ass pop song. Hopefully these guys can hook up with Bill Racine again for their next album. Oh well...we'll always have "Out of the Shadow".… Full Review »

These BMC sport air filters fit within the original air box and require no modification. The air filter works by capiliarity and the BMC filters have a filtering capacity which is superior to that of the original version. They are pre-oiled and so can be fitted straight away. You will not need to change these filters but you will need to clean and re-oil them using the BMC cleaning kit.
Scart Weight: 1.20 Kg
Gain Vs Original: 0 Kg
A huge thank you to Mr Martin SCART, his sales manager Mr Guillaume BEAUMONT, his team and his mecanic who fitted the exhaust and advised me to replace my original filters and tail-pipes. The result is spectacular with the valves open and discrete with the valves closed. Even with the valves closed the sound is remarkable. The combination XPIPE, VALVES, SPORT AIR FILTERS, MATT BLACK TAIL-PIPES, REMOVAL OF THE SOUND CUT-OFF AT 75 Kms/H, AND CONNECTION TO THE ORIGINAL SWITCH. I have no regrets about the cost as the result is there. Once again thank you to the SCART team. I would recommend this combination to all 997 phase II owners.

I was thrilled with my 997 GTS Cabriolet, but the original sport exhaust was a real disappointment. It was nothing like the PSE I'd had on my last 997 gen 1, which was great. I wanted an exhaust that gave me a sound, but a genuine flat 6 sound. I hesitated a while and then I went for Martin Scart's system with valves. I also liked the idea of not replacing the whole line but keeping as much as possible to the original. I just had one fear, that there would be enough sound for my taste. The result is surprising !!! I am so pleased, it's a huge bonus. Valves open the sound is fantastic, I hadn't expected that, it's well over and above my expectations. The sound is cavernous, powerful.... At full throttle its bestial and at low revs it purrs. The added benefit of the valves, which is really good, is that you can be really discreet if you need to be. The remote control is good quality. To sum up, the contact, the welcome and the workmanship were perfect

Visiting the Whitehall Trail by Melissa Hall
Arriving by car, you can park at three locations; at Pee Dee road across from Swoope Road and Indian Trail, at the Elizabeth Rounds Park at 570 Pee Dee Road or at the Reservoir Park lot accessed off N.C. 22.
Directly across from Swoope Road, park in a gravel turn-around or travel down the sandy driveway to the farm gate. There are restrooms available at Rounds Park and the Reservoir Park. The white dots on the trees show you the trail.
Traveling counter clockwise you go gradually downhill through dense deciduous woods, cross a stream (on a wooden bridge) and rise to see the trees open to a wide open view of the beautifully maintained long leaf pine forest. The trail skirts the property entering the woods of Reservoir Park, taking you to the parking lot.
Enjoy the trail around the reservoir, go on to the other greenway trails, return the way you came or cross the parking lot to make a return trip on a path alongside the Frisbee golf course.
You will find a few trail options at the grassy swathe that is a pipeline easement. The left-most path will put you at a sign that reads "Specimen Pond Pine 100 feet North." Stand in front of that sign and you will see a remarkable, huge and old Pond Pine Tree.
Traveling uphill along the border of the Longleaf golf course you see the glorious view of the long leaf pine forest possibly freshly charred from the maintenance burns that keep it free of choking vegetation, allowing indigenous plant species to thrive and the longleaf pines to grow at their best.
Characteristically the Black Fox squirrel enjoys woods near golf courses, so this is a prime spot to visit with the plumpest fox squirrels ever. When the trail flattens out you border two private properties with handsome pine forests until you reach the Pee Dee road starting points.
With state parks and recreation budgets slashed in 2013, it will take greater effort by communities and non-profit groups like SALT to continue to grow and maintain our outdoor amenities. Increasingly, communities are obliged to foster partnerships between business, individuals and local institutions to create and maintain great walking and hiking trails in our communities.
Hiking these great trails brings so many benefits, so as you breathe the cold, clean air and enjoy an invigorating hike, think about what you can do to contribute as you enjoy the beauty that someone else made possible for your enjoyment.
