Re: Bose SoundTouch is going to go the path of Blackberry
Message 21 of 45
Nice, politically correct letter above from Bose, except it's nothing more than an ad. Not a single word addressing the issues were all having. I'm sitting here once again with a really expensive Soundtouch Music System IV that I paid a premium price for, and the stupid software won't work to connect to the computer, internet and radio is all that works. 5 minutes or 5 hours later (its totally random) all of a sudden it will work, maybe a minute, mable a few hours. Three internet connections/computers in different locations, constant resetting just trying to get it to work. BOSE do you have any idea of the grief this terrible software is causing us??? You got our money (no more thats for sure). Dumping my brand new Soundtouch Music System IV on ebay. I should take a sledgehammer to it on Youtube, then maybe Bose will finally stop telling us about all the great things coming and actually fix the broken mess. P.S. No more need for letters from the Product Line Manager. It's evident how much he cares about our issues. It's all apparently about sell, sell, sell!

Hi Friends, Family and those I may not know.
I heard the founder of Cookies for Kid's Cancer's story and couldn't not get involved. A charity that's all about helping children fight something no one should ever have to go through is inspiring itself but to do it through food spoke to my heart even more.
I'm going to keep it short and simple. In the spirit of the holidays, I'm trying to raise as much money as possible to help them reach their $250,000 grant matching goal. Anything helps, $1, $5 or even helping me spread the word if you're not able to contribute yourself this year.
Let's help fight children's cancer, 1 cookie at a time!
Please make a donation to Cooking for Kids and help support Cookies for Kids' Cancer™!

The United Kingdom has long been a haven for designers and art lovers from all around the world. With such a rich history in art and media, the UK's highly developed media industry is one of the most revered when it comes to quality graphics. The country is home to some of the biggest names in the industry like Pentagram and GBH (Gregory Bonner Hale). This has enabled the industry to grow at an unprecedented rate and make UK the place to be at when it comes to the graphics industry.
The collection below emphasizes graphics that both contain an essence of the rich culture of the UK and showcase the elaborate history its artists have inherited. From the master pieces of the 17th century to the exquisite art produced by the millennial generation, UK has some of the finest artists in the world. Is there something to do with the traits of English designers that make them so distinct?
In this illustrative article, I've chosen visuals that emphasize the importance of the principle of visual and verbal harmony. Why is this important? For one, it makes graphics self-revealing and helps them convey the message in an effective manner to the right audience. This makes them important for the communicator and helps the viewer understand the central theme behind an image.
So let's dive into this appealing UK graphic collection and appreciate how verbal and visual harmony is at play:
The Weetabix Branding
An image that is so uplifting and energizing, it makes you love the product.
Book Cover of "The Hobbit"
The book cover depicts the serene surroundings that set the background for a mythical yet adventurous story and conveys how the story unfolds.
The Comedy King Rowan Atkinson
A portrait of Rowan Atkinson made up of colorful collage above signifies the many facets of his comedic flair.
Movie Poster of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"
With a vicious look to it, the cover conveys the central theme of the movie.
The Well-Known Tesco Branding
The warmth and enthusiasm of this image resonates with the brand's identity.
The Branding for BBC's Writers Room
An effective graphic conveying the message in a simple yet effective manner.
The Reebok Branding for a T-shirt
It emphasizes the values of strength and devotion so central to the Reebok brand
The Summer/Spring Cover Design for the Dash Magazine
This abstract cover denotes the passion the magazine writers have for fashion and the different categories of the fashion industry it covers.
The BBC's iPlayer Branding
A model of simplicity, this graphic clearly conveys the brand's relation to the media industry and also hints towards the online functionality of the iPlayer.
NHS' Brand and Slogan
An image that conveys the local attachment of the UK's National Health Service to its people.
The Natural History Museum
The graphic depicts the central theme quite well with the large graphic superposition of the plant's image.
The Sheffield University's Monogram
The branding adequately conveys the rich educational background of the University of Sheffield.
Manchester United's Wallpaper
The red in its branding represents the ambition with which its players are ready to play the game and the logo is self-representative of this team's rich background in football.

Environment Program Assistant
The Position
The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has an immediate opening in its Flint office for a program assistant in the Addressing the Freshwater Challenge area of its Environment program. The individual filling this position will be part of a seven-person team working on the Foundation's environmental grantmaking.
The Addressing the Freshwater Challenge program area aims to promote sound policies to protect, restore and enhance the environment and the well-being of people in the Great Lakes region. The program area provides support under two grantmaking objectives: Strengthening the Environmental Community (SEC), through which we seek to build the capacity of individual leaders, nonprofit organizations, and regional coalitions; and Public Policies, through which we help focus the freshwater community on informing and implementing effective policy solutions. The aims of the two objectives reinforce one another, as strong and enduring organizations are required to sustain environmentally protective reforms. The experience of the Flint water crisis has led to increased emphasis in several areas for the Foundation, including within the Environment program. We have become more focused on ensuring that clean, fresh and affordable drinking water is available for all people throughout the region. This requires advocacy, infrastructure funding, and greater attention to public health.
Responsibilities include grant processing and administrative functions, responding to telephone and written requests for information about grantmaking interests within the Environment program, conducting research on assigned topics and otherwise assisting program officers with their workloads. An important responsibility is representing the Mott Foundation at meetings and in discussions with grantees and partners.
Qualifications and requirements
Candidates should have:
- a strong interest in environmental and/or sustainable development issues and at least a bachelor's degree in a related field;
- at least two years of experience in related fields;
- excellent writing skills, solid analytical thinking, strong interpersonal communication skills, and attention to detail;
- the desire and ability to work well as a member of a team;
- the ability to manage a diverse workload; and
- the ability to travel.
To Apply for This Position
To apply for this position, please submit a cover letter, resume, references, and two writing samples. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage candidates to apply early. No phone inquiries please.
Submissions to:
Submission deadline: May 24, 2019

None of us showed up on this planet by accident. God, in his sovereignty, has chosen the time and place that each of us would live. He also chose who our parents would be. Because of this, we can honor and respect our parents-not because they are perfect-but because God is perfect. If we live with unforgiveness or distance between our parents and us, we actually place our self in the position of being God. That would violate the 1st Commandment of having no other gods before God. We are not God! If we reject our parents, we are rejecting God's perfect will for our life. To honor our parents is to respect them, as fellow flawed image bearers of God, and allow God to love them through us. To honor our parents is to honor God as LORD in our life.

ABOVE: a guest attending the Paris shows in a Comme Des Garçons look
The Who What Where
The Comme Des Garçons label was founded in Tokyo by Japanese born Rei Kawakubo in 1969. It has since branched into 17 sub-labels including menswear and fragrances making it a huge fashion empire.
But Why Are We Celebrating It?
As a designer Kawakubo continually challenges conventional ideals of beauty, fashion and identity.
Further still Kawakubo's ability to design relentlessly original and creative fashion while simultaneously marketing the brand to have such commercial success is overwhelmingly impressive.
As Andrew Bolton (Curator at the Costume Institute) puts it "she has defined the aesthetics of our time."
Five Words Most Often Used To Describe The Label
Avant-garde, unadulterated, contrarian, revolutionary, unconventional
Four Signature Design Traits
Monochromatic tones, androgynous styling, unrefined finishes, distorted cuts and shapes
The Celebrity Fans
Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, Alexa Chung, Lady Gaga, Azealia Banks and Diane Kruger have all been spotted in one of the company's labels

Rarely Seen Above Ground at The Dock
This Friday, May 25 The Space at The Dock series brings you what will be one of the most memorable nights yet as Rarely Seen Above Ground aka Jeremy Hickey from Kilkenny city performs with a virtual band composed entirely of himself!
If you are a multi-instrumentalist like Jeremy you could record all the different instruments yourself in the studio but when it came to playing live you'd have to get other players in to play the guitars, keyboards etc right? Wrong!
What RSAG does is perform live drums, percussion and vocals while virtual versions of himself playing bass, guitars, keyboards etc are projected around him and all in real time!
To say the least it's a unique experience seeing RSAG live and it's even better when you hear the music he produces. Rarely Seen Above Ground has been making waves since 2008 with a seriously explosive live set and a double album release, 'Organic Sampler' the debut gained a Choice Music Prize nomination in the same year. 2012 will see the release of a new EP and album and you can hear it live in The Dock!
This will be another excellent night in The Space at The Dock kicking off at 9pm and running until late. Tickets are €12/10 available on www.thedock.ie or in the box office 071 96 50828.

So lssue we got an old Chris Claremont and Marshall Rogers story about Strange and his girlfriend, Clea. But in issue #6 we get a really good Dr. Strange tale by Roger Stern, one of the few guys who really "got" the character–with wonderful art by Charles Vess.
his is the first time this comic has been essential reading.
And that's not even the main story! The first tale is about Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man, created by Mike Barr and Sandy Plunkett, and it features another mystical story with very similar landscapes…
Again, great art, and a solid tale.

«I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.»

While prepping some surprises for 2017, Kid Ink has decided to give his fans a holiday treat by sharing an unfinished song called "Yu Know It." Though it's just a minute and a half in runtime, "Yu Know It" is a nice blend of rap and R&B that could serve as a nice warm-up record during your next big night out. Dropping the song via SoundCloud, Ink wrote, "a lil something to vibe out over the holidays... I never finished the 2nd verse but felt like sharing anyway! New music coming at the top of the year."
Put this one on the New Year's playlist and get ready for new Kid Ink music shortly thereafter. "Yu Know It" is produced by Kickin J of the Pioneer Crew.
Quotable Lyrics
Don't act so important, I knew you before this
When you was just hoe-in, I know the whole story
I ain't tryna judge you at all though, sit back take a hit of Diablo

These calamondin cupcakes are smiley and sunshiny happiness. The calamondin cupcakes could easily be confused for orange cupcakes. But, there's something about them – it could be the extra tartness, the calamondin coulis that yields a dainty speckled meringue buttercream frosting, or the candied calamondin "Just Tops" resting on the cupcakes like tiny berets – that makes these calamondin cupcakes a notch above any orange cupcake you've tried. The cake is delicate and light, and the frosting pipes perfectly.
A 32 ounce jar of calamondin coulis and two packages of Just Tops ordered online from Calamondin Cafe (required for these cupcakes) plus a printed copy of this calamondin cupcake recipe would make a unique and special gift for the baker in your life.

On Earth Day 2012, it's good to take a step back and see how far we've come since the first Earth Day in 1970, which should give us the confidence we need to take on the big challenges ahead of us.
Data is Exploding
The cost of computing has declined enormously. In 1970, you could buy 10 calculations per second for US$ 1000. In 2010, you could buy 10 billion calculations per second for the same US$ 1000. In 1970, there were approximately 31,744 terabytes (TB) of data on computerized records -- remember, today you can buy a 4 TB external hard drive. In 2010, that number was 1.4 billion TB. In 2015, it's predicted that mobile devices alone will generate 6.3 exabytes of data -- that's 6.6 million TB. The total amount of data will grow 50 times in the next 8 years.
Data Centers Intensely Use Energy
It takes a lot of energy to provide the always-on computing that we've come to expect and support the growth of computing worldwide. A 25-megawatt data center uses as much electricity as 20,000 average US households.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that servers and data centers are responsible for up to 1.5 percent of the total electricity consumption in the U.S., or roughly 0.5% of US greenhouse gas emissions. And it's going to go up if we do nothing to change it: as computing grows, so does global data center energy use -- upwards of 12 percent this year alone.
There is a substantial opportunity to improve efficiency in data centers.
In some cases, almost half of the total power load can be from cooling systems. And when data center computing assets are idle (running but not being utilized for useful work), or have low utilization, that is wasted potential.
Today's chief information officer (CIO) has to consider energy management. A recent Forbes article by Dan Woods provides a checklist for CIOs to evaluate the maturity of their approach to energy management. Moving to shared data centers in the cloud is one strategy to consider.
Cloud Computing Can Help
Cloud computing makes use of economies of scale by running coordinated, actively managed clusters of low-cost computing hardware on behalf of multiple clients, taking advantage of the latest in CPU, rack, cooling and building-systems technology. These cloud tools are helping make the future brighter for all of us.
Infrastructure Allocation
Server, networking and storage usage is rarely stable. As a result, an organization's infrastructure deployment needs to be sized to accommodate the peak load that will be experienced. In many situations this can be many times the average load.
Unlike individual companies, however, cloud providers are able to smooth the peaks of their various customers across their infrastructure. Since every organization has a different peak profile, that is peaks occur at different times, the total cloud infrastructure requirements will be less in aggregate than when a company individually provisions.
Dedicated servers cannot intelligently share their computing power. With virtualization, the cloud environment has a "central brain" that optimally senses and provisions those resources through additional intelligent management services to provision on demand and consolidate load, making more efficient use of resources.
Server Utilization Rates
Hosted data centers do a much better job of maximizing server resource utilization. In-house data centers are like loosely packed suitcases that are never full. By actively managing workloads and assigning CPU power exactly where and when it's needed, the cloud packs that suitcase tight, so that each server operates at peak efficiency.
Data Center Efficiency
Technology infrastructure changes so fast that running a modern data center is like trying to service a car while driving it. When you use a shared cloud data center, you drive the car -- build applications for your business -- and leave the experts to worry about maintenance.
Cloud providers run data centers all day; they are specialists. Newer hardware runs faster and uses less energy by far than older servers. Locating data centers in cooler climates and near renewable energy is another key factor for saving energy. The best in class providers build the most efficient buildings and constantly monitor and optimize their performance.
Ecosystem Investments
In the cloud, we're always thinking about how to make mass computing more open, transparent and greener.
The Open Compute project shows what's possible. In Prineville, Oregon, Facebook committed to using the best technology and environmental strategies available. As a result:
- The data center consumes 52 percent less energy and 72 percent less water than other typical data centers.
- The Prineville center is 38 percent more efficient and 24 percent cheaper to build than any of Facebook's standard data centers.
- The location of the data center is important. Taking advantage of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydro and cooler climates, reduces the amount of power needed to cool the data center and eliminates carbon emissions.
The Future is in the Cloud
We've talked about data centers, but the entire computing industry has a role to play. The SMART 2020 report predicted that the entire information and communications technology (ICT) sector could facilitate emissions reductions of 5 times the sector's own footprint, up to 7.8 Giga-Tonnes (GT) of CO2 equivalent, or 15 percent of total expected worldwide emissions by 2020***. But this will only happen if we take advantage of massive technological and spatial economies of scale, the latest in smart building design, and renewable energy. These are the kinds of investments cloud providers are making every day. That's why we believe the future is green, and it's in the cloud.

After last week's news about a HK subsidiary of General Nice (俊安集团) going into liquidation and a general picture of problems with creditors, it has now emerged that their Greenland subsidiary, London Mining Greenland A/S, is undergoing a compulsory dissolution process (tvangsopløsning). According to Sermitsiaq, a request to have the company dissolved was filed at the Court of Greenland in August 2016. The distressed Greenland subsidiary owns the mining license for the Isua iron mine.
Sermitsiaq also talks of accounting problems related to the transfer of London Mining Greenland from its previous owner to General Nice in late '14. All accounting materials for that year appear to have disappeared: the location of "electronic data as well as physical documents" was unknown at the time of compiling the following annual report.
In other General Nice news: a North Sydney office building GN's HK-listed arm North Sydney bought for $50m in '13 to try and offset losses in their main business (mentioned in my General Nice backgrounder) is now part of an asset restructuring, and should end up being at least partially owned by Huarong, the asset manager that has also taken over management of the HK-listed subsidiary.
[UPDATE (Jan 3): Sermitsiaq reports today that two weeks ago the Court of Greenland allowed General Nice to retake the Greenland subsidiary, after four months under management by a liquidator. The reason for the dissolution order was that the company had failed to produce an annual report on time. Other than the report, a requirement to come out of dissolution was a capital injection, which apparently also happened. It remains unclear whether those missing documents related to the transfer to General Nice have materialised.
So the Isua mine in Greenland is back in General Nice's hands for the time being. It remains to be seen whether the company's dire situation in Hong Kong will affect the Greenland subsidiary.]

Tegucigalpa, Jul 7 (Prensa Latina) Popular organizations joined in a Front against the coup perpetrated in Honduras are to redouble peaceful rallies to restore the constitutional order in the country.
Union, rural, student, and youth leaders, as well as those from others sectors of the society met Monday night with that aim.
The meeting's decisions will be revealed on Tuesday.
The Front stated that those demonstrations and other expressions of repudiation of the military coup that overthrew Constitutional President Manuel Zelaya on June 28, will continue for the tenth consecutive day until the coupists' defeat.
Media was not present in the final moment of the gathering, due to the curfew from 22:00 local hour to 06:00 of the following day, when several constitutional guarantees are suspended.
Honduras First Lady Xiomara Castro attended the meeting, and exhorted people to continue peaceful resistance.
Xiomara Castro expects to participate today in the capital's rally. She will demand the return of President Zelaya, who made a bid for entering the nation two days ago.

Fiber Fellowship at Lariviere House in Richford, VT
So here I am in a strange place with time on my hands. I had brought yarn and crochet hooks with me to make Linda's grandchildren each a hat. Hats are pretty quick to make and so I started some baby hats for my friend, Rob's baby hat contest hosted from his site
http://covetedyarn.com/. All the hats are then donated to the Beverly hospital (MA). Having packed in a frenzy, I had stuffed all the yarn I could fit into one bag, but I wasn't thinking color at the time. I asked Linda where there was a yarn shop and she points me down the street to Lariviere House. Shirley Jewett opened her shop in 1994. She had just what I needed to round out my color options. But knitting and crochet were just two of the ten options Shirley offered. Lessons and materials to do Tole painting, basket making, beading, jewelry making, sewing, quilting, smocking and etching were also available. What ever interested Shirley she learned and was willing to pass on her knowledge. It was a great relief to sit in her shop surrounded by all the ingredients to go in ten different directions and just talk. Here was a woman who I had just dropped in on in the middle of her work day who gave me me what I needed most: a quiet place to focus on the joy of creating.

18 March 2015
The struggle of VIOME is at a crossroads again. After Lafarge, the French company, managed to have VIOME declared bankrupt last summer, the new administrator conspired with the former owners to liquidate the company. On March 23 there is an important lawsuit for the future of the VIOME struggle. The workers have decided to remain in the factory regardless of the judge's verdict, however this is an important legal battle and we have to mobilize all our forces.
The workers of VIOME in Thessaloniki, Greece, have stood up against unemployment and poverty by carrying through a long struggle to self-manage the occupied factory, in very adverse conditions. For two years now, they have been producing and selling ecological cleaning products at the occupied premises, ensuring a modest income for their families. They have been working on terms of equality, deciding collectively through the general assembly. At the same time they have received a big wave of solidarity from Greece and abroad, converting their struggle into an emblematic struggle for human dignity in crisis-stricken Greece.
The ex-owners of the factory, the Fillipou family, have never stopped trying to obstruct the process, posing legal hurdles in every step along the way. Four years ago they abandoned the factory, keeping all the benefits to themselves and leaving hundreds of millions in unpaid wages to the workers, condemning their families to poverty and misery. Today they appear again, conspiring with the state-appointed bankruptcy administrators and the judicial system in order to liquidate the company.
While the ex-owners were convicted to 123 months in jail at first instance for the millions owed to the workers, the court of appeals reduced this sentence to a 43 months suspended sentence, thus in effect absolving the ex-owners from having to ever pay back the workers.
At the same time, on March 23 there is a new trial to evaluate the administrator's request to liquidate the machinery and the premises. If the court rules in favour, big financial and real estate interests will have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the VIOME premises.
The workers of VIOME and the national and international solidarity movement are determined to resist a possible sell off by any means available. On Friday, March 20 we are carrying out a protest at Thessaloniki's city centre, including a farmers market and the direct sale of the VIOME products to the public. On Monday, March 23 we gather in front of the court house, to protest against the intention of the administrators and the judges to liquidate and sell off the company and its premises, to condemn the workers and their families to unemployment and misery in order to serve the interests of the powerful.
Furthermore we declare that, regardless of the ruling of the court, we are determined to stand our ground and defend the VIOME factory, a workplace that was kept alive thanks the determination of the workers and the solidarity of the wider community. We refuse to surrender it to the judicial powers, which have repeatedly denied justice to the workers and the underprivileged.
Our destiny is now in our own hands, we manage our work and our lives ourselves. We will not permit anyone to destroy what we have built with so much effort. We declare to the judges, the police, the administrators, the ex-owners and any prospective buyers:
How can you help?
- Sign the statement below, or send your own solidarity message to firstname.lastname@example.com
- Send a photo of your collective with a solidarity banner, plus the name of your collective and the place. This will be published on our webpage.

Some warranties aren't worth the paper they're written on, that's why we have partnered with the RAC.
With the rapid development of new technologies cars that have been produced over last decade are far more advanced than their mechanical predecessors.
To compete, prestige manufacturers have to embrace new technologies to add to the driving and passenger experiences, this has translated into producing cars that have more tech than the space shuttle and a quick glimpse under the bonnet will proof this advancement.
Taking into consideration that the profile of cars we sell are typically from a prestige stable we needed to partner a warranty provider that is not only established but has evolved along side the latest technology, just like our cars we hand picked the RAC as the most favoured supplier of comprehensive non wear & tear related mechanical breakdown cover. For us and most importantly our customers, the RAC is the most relevant warranty in the market.
In the last financial year the RAC paid out in excess of £4.6m in repair bills, to keep their 80,000 + warranty policy holders on the road. As an RAC warranty dealer we are able to offer three main levels of cover, subject to the age and mileage of the car you are purchasing we can offer Platinum, Gold & Silver cover. On every car sold, unless still under the manufacturers warranty, we offer complimentary cover which, subject to age & mileage, can be extended up to a further 2 years at a highly subsidised cost, please ask for further details.
If you have any questions or would like more information about our RAC Warranties you can download the information PDF document above or fill out the contact form and we'll get back to you.

LOTS of people stumble upon the town where their future second home will be by getting lost. But perhaps none do so as dramatically as Kent Strickland.
He had never heard of Salida, Colo., until two years ago, when he spent a dangerous 50 hours lost on the backside of nearby Monarch Mountain. An experienced skier from Taos, N.M., Mr. Strickland had taken a wrong turn in blizzard conditions.
His wife, Elise Backinger, alerted the local authorities, and rescue teams from Salida and from Chaffee County, along with Monarch's ski patrol, found him and saved his life. He bought his rescuers beers at Benson's, a local tavern, and the couple were so impressed by their new friends that they ended up buying a second home there.
"The 911 dispatcher called me on the one-month anniversary of the incident, just to see how I was doing," Mr. Strickland said. "She called again a year later. The people here are among the friendliest I have ever met."
These days, the couple spend about half the year in their Salida home, a 1,400-square-foot, two-bedroom cottage they built on a vacant lot they bought for $89,000 in 2006; the cottage cost about $200,000 to build. They have also bought ranch property about seven miles from town; they plan to build a house there so their dogs can run and they can have mountain views. As soon as their Taos home sells, they plan to move to Salida full-time.
People like them are drawn to Salida by its year-round outdoors life. There's fishing and boating in on the Arkansas River, cycling, skiing, hunting and the more passive pastime of soaking in the local hot springs. There are also three federal wilderness areas within about 30 minutes of town. And all of it comes without the potentially suffocating trappings of popular Colorado resort towns like Telluride and Aspen.
"The lovely part of Salida is that it is not just a ski town," Ms. Backinger said. "It is a wonderful functioning town that is blessed with an incredible ski mountain 20 minutes away. It's not a cutesy alpine village at the base of a mountain."
Salida, in south-central Colorado, was once a booming railroad depot, but when rail service mostly ended in the early 1970s, the town entered three decades of decline. During those lean years, outdoor adventurers of all stripes, seeking refuge from Colorado's more crowded, centrally located resorts along Interstate 70, discovered Salida.
The town attracted national attention in 2006, after two magazines picked it as one of the best places in the country to live. The spotlight didn't surprise the retirees and adrenaline seekers who for several years had been quietly buying up brick Victorians and downtown commercial buildings for low prices.
"We wanted to live in a mountain town and start a family," said Nate Porter, who moved to Salida from Colorado Springs with his wife 10 years ago. "There's so much to do, no attitude, and our kid loves it."
The Porters bought a home and commercial building downtown for $250,000. In it they opened Salida Mountain Sports. They spent less than the typical cost of a commercial building in Summit County, home to resorts like Breckenridge and Keystone.
People buy because of the mild climate Salida's summer temperatures average in the high 70s, and the annual rainfall averages just 8.65 inches the natural beauty and the outdoor recreation. Of Colorado's 54 mountains that rise more than 14,000 feet, 14 encircle Salida. About 20 miles west is Monarch Mountain, a locally owned ski hill that has a vintage lodge and about 350 inches of snow annually.
Tom Browning and his wife, Gayle, of Denver, bought their five-bedroom house in the foothills outside Salida 10 years ago for $240,000, mainly as a summer fishing retreat. But at an elevation of 8,000 feet, their cabin in the woods becomes a snow-covered retreat by December. Now, with grandchildren who love to ski and adult children who want to escape the city, they spend so much time in Salida in winter that they don't turn the heat off between trips.
"With our age and stage of life, we don't take part in a lot activities that are so popular," Mr. Browning said. "So instead of ski, we'll go on a winery tour nearby, or visit some of the great friends we've made."
The Scene
Salida's summer traffic jams aren't on the streets. They're in the Arkansas River, on the east side of town. Boaters flock to Salida in season and fold themselves into their kayaks to play on the river's frigid, frothing water.
Beyond the river rats, runners, hikers and cyclists of all ages are drawn to the paved quarter-mile river walk. Diners at Kip's Grill and Boathouse Cantina, meanwhile, sip their margaritas on the riverside patio. One block away, the downtown seems to buzz year-round with the construction sounds of table saws, nail guns and hammers.
By late fall, the aspens have shed their leaves, allowing views of the massive high peaks ringing the valley. To the west, Monarch Mountain begins collecting snow around mid-November. The old-school, north-facing ski hill offers no-frills skiing through the spring. Patrons lose themselves in Mirkwood Basin while their kids rip the corduroy in their ski-school lessons.
Even when the mountain is shrouded in a snow cloud, Salida is likely to be sunny and warm enough to get by with only a sweater. Hiding in the rain shadow of the Rockies, Salida's pleasant climate is one of its draws.
For the culturally curious, there are 12 art galleries and the Steamplant Theater and Event Center, which focuses on live music, art-house movies and community theater.
Salida is an old-fashioned town laid out in a grid with walkable neighborhoods. And it's home to four seasons of outdoor sports.
Salida is remote, lacking the amenities of, say, Aspen or Jackson Hole.
The Real Estate Market
Salida's inventory is a mix of small two- and three-bedroom bungalows built in town at the turn of the 20th century; many have detached carriage houses. About a mile from downtown, larger ranch and other style homes are more common.
Nearly 100 condo units both in-town lofts and neighborhood developments are being built, with some scheduled to open in spring 2009. The downtown lofts are 800 to 1,500 square feet, with prices starting at $240,000 and climbing to about $535,000.
A typical three-bedroom house in town costs about $300,000. And there are still a few deals for less than $200,000 that need work.
Country-bound home buyers have a choice in rural lots that vary from 2 to 35 acres, said Leslie Walker, who owns Salida Realty Company. Land prices range from less than $1,000 an acre to as much as $10,000, depending on whether the lots are desirable riverfront properties, come with water rights, or are plots in the high desert.
And more upscale ranchettes are beginning to sprout. About 15 miles west of Salida, in Poncha Springs, construction is under way at the Friend Ranch golf community, where each lot purchased comes with a golf membership. Lots of a quarter-acre to two acres, are $150,000 to $400,000.
Houses have appreciated at about 8 to 10 percent annually, said Jane Pinto, who owns Pinon Real Estate, until the market's recent cooling. Even so, home prices haven't dropped so far. In 2006, the average sale price was $252,464, climbing to $301,488 last year.
POPULATION 5,410, according to a 2006 Census Bureau estimate.
SIZE 2.2 square miles.
WHERE About 100 miles west of Colorado Springs.
