2018 Regular Legislative Session
All forms of homelessness are troubling, but it’s especially bad when young people don’t have stable housing – and we should all know that this happens in Boulder County. Homelessness can be impactful to a young person’s healthy development on a number of levels, and in certain cases it’s hazardous to their safety. The task force would, in short, discuss and study issues and statistics, and suggest potential solutions to help keep young Coloradans safe and warm. The bill passed the House, but was postponed indefinitely on March 21 in the Senate State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee.
Climate change is one of the pressing issues of our time, so we should recognize individuals who lead efforts that could minimize the negative impacts. This bill will create awards programs within the state’s existing climate change position, with awards for organizational and collaborative greenhouse gas reduction programs. The bill was assigned to the House Transportation and Energy Committee for its first hearing, and was postponed indefinitely in that committee on Feb. 7.

Further, under current law, the terms of government-supported employment contracts are generally available for public inspection.
For state institutions of higher education, the bill exempts the institution’s employee positions that are funded by revenues generated through auxiliary activities, as defined in the bill, from the provisions of current law.
Governor John Hickenlooper signed SB 17-041 into law on March 20, 2017.
The bill prohibits a school district, board of cooperative services, charter school, or public preschool program from expelling a student, except as specifically required by federal law, and allows the enrolling entity to impose an out-of- school suspension on the student only under specified circumstances for 3 school days. The bill also specifies that school districts are required to adopt prevention and early intervention strategies to reduce the need for early childhood and early elementary grade suspensions and expulsions. Research shows that early childhood school attendance is a leading indicator in high school graduation and likelihood of incarceration.
HB 17-1210 was postponed indefinitely in the Senate State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee on April 17, 2017.
The bill lays out that at least 60 days before implementing a decision to terminate or place a participating provider in a tiered network, a carrier must notify the affected provider in writing of the pending action, including an explanation of the reasons for the proposed action, and inform the provider of the right to request that the carrier reconsider its decision. This would provide some protections for providers so they are not as easily dropped from coverage, which can have negative ramifications for patients.
Governor John Hickenlooper signed SB 17-088 into law on April 18, 2017.
This bill requires investor-owned electric utilities to provide their customers with a comprehensive breakdown of cost on their monthly bills because consumers have a right to know their electric utility charges.

3 Tips to Secure Specialized Professional Liability Coverage
By Olivia Overman | August 2, 2021
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the professional liability market was firming across most lines of business due to loss severity. Over the past 18 months, as the economy experienced widespread layoffs, bankruptcies and cyber breaches stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the market was adversely impacted even further.
“Some segments, such as healthcare, education and public entities have become very difficult to place,” says Elizabeth Whitney, senior vice president, head of agents U.S., Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. Additionally, “the directors & officers segment was one of the first professional liability lines to harden starting in 2019—and with the onset of COVID-19, capacity has left the market after decades of soft market pricing and increasing loss ratios.”
In 2021 and into 2022, “the major concern continues to be the financial condition of the insureds and whether they will be able to recover and survive,” says Manny Cho, executive vice president, executive lines, Risk Placement Services.
“Professional liability is a specialized product and requires agents to spend time building an offering that addresses each insured’s specific needs,” says Sarah Medina, president, professional liability, The Hanover Insurance Group Inc. “Helping clients understand their exposures and the benefits certain coverages offer their businesses is critical.”
“Oftentimes, the right coverage is not the cheapest, but it will help ensure financial and reputational stability for the client, and ultimately help them secure the long-term success of their business,” Medina adds.
Here are three tips to offer specialized professional liability coverage:
1) Understanding the state of the market. “Agents need to be aware that the commercial market is very fluid right now,” Whitney says. “They need to stay up to date with which carriers are restricting terms and conditions, capacity, and increasing rates.”
In certain segments, such as contractors professional liability, “there are considerable variances with the available coverages given that most—if not all—carriers in this market are writing business on a non-admitted basis,” says Chris McQueen, senior vice president, Berkley Construction Professional, a Berkley Company. “This means every agent, broker and policyholder must pay very close attention to the policy’s wording and language. Every word counts.”
Currently, the construction industry is leaning more heavily toward the residential sector. Agents should be aware that “carriers have been more selective and restrictive regarding the type of residential construction risks they’ve been willing to cover in the past,” McQueen says. “It will be interesting to see how the current marketplace responds to the growing insurance opportunities and enhanced risks associated with residential building.”
Cyber will continue to play a dramatic role in the professional liability markets and is considered particularly problematic in certain lines.
“We are seeing a dramatic shift right now in the schools and public entities space for cyber, especially for larger school districts and public entities,” Cho says. “This change is driven by large losses, large loss potential and many of the stories we hear today about large cyber breaches. Many carriers are pulling out of this market completely or are only willing to offer limited capacity and then over very high attachment points.”
2) Looking toward a new normal. As the world opens up, there are likely to be changes in almost every market brought about by the events of the last year. “We are likely to see many services providers adopting a virtual model, such as attorneys, accountants, and many other types of consultants,” Medina says. “This model will present new risks and require agents to understand the new exposures and how to address them through the placement of appropriate coverage.”
However, there are real opportunities for agents to help with risk management and risk mitigation going forward.
“As the country begins to reopen and companies start to establish their return-to-work procedures, how firms manage remote and hybrid work environments, mask mandates and social distancing measures county by county and state by state for multi-location entities will be challenging,” Cho says. “There is also the issue of whether companies will ask or have the right to ask about or make vaccinations a requirement of coming back.”
3) Obtaining the best outcome for clients and agents. A firmer market requires agents to pre-plan to get the best coverage for their clients. Providing accurate and detailed information to underwriters is key.
“Agents should give themselves plenty of lead time at renewal and be sure if they are changing carriers that they communicate in writing to their clients the differences in coverage,” Whitney says. “Utilizing checklists and diligently documenting their files and communicating with their clients is essential to avoid errors & omissions claims.”

Down With Tyranny has a post rightfully attacking Paul Ryan, (GOP WI-01) for his latest hypocrisy. While Ryan has been a staunch opponent of the stimulus plan and has even called for repealing the stimulus, he has suddenly found an unfunded stimulus project that he wants to support according to Walworth County Today. Here’s what they had to say:
“Rep. Paul Ryan is joining the village of Sharon to fight the loss of $547,000 in stimulus money used to build a storm-water retention system.”
This comes from the man who in an interview with Think Progress in early December had this to say about the stimulus plan:
Yeah, so, I would prospectively repeal the stimulus and put it toward better policy.
He was against it before he was for it. Mr. Ryan, you can’t have it both ways. Do you think this flip flop will go unnoticed among your constituents? Why don’t you admit that you were wrong in voting against the stimulus package and that without it, the economic disaster that the Obama Administration inherited from George Bush and your GOP colleagues, would have been even more severe.
While the funds had been awarded to the village earlier this year, the EPA and the DNR later found that the project was ineligible for the funds due to the project’s contracted start date prior to the official date for stimulus fund projects according to MyWalworthCounty.com.
6 thoughts on “Paul Ryan – Flip Flop Hypocrisy on Stimulus Funds”
To shore up his right wing support, Ryan endorsed the darling of the teabaggers today, Marco Rubio
No shock there, Howie. Ryan’s angling for a promotion in the near future, so he’s going to need as much support from the far-right fringe as he can get.
I don’t feel you know the whole story. The Village of Sharon was awarded stimulus funds. Then the EPA decided to take back those funds along with three other municipalities. The projects were all complete. So I would think Kudos to this congressman for standing up and helping our village when he really has trouble with the stimulus to begin with. He recognizes what is right and that doesn’t interfer with his feelings for the stimulus. Please get the facts before you beraid someone.
Thanks for your feedback. If you notice in the last paragraph of the posting I acknowledge that the funds had been awarded. In fact I say “While the funds had been awarded to the village earlier this year, the EPA and the DNR later found that the project was ineligible for the funds due to the project’s contracted start date prior to the official date for stimulus fund projects according to MyWalworthCounty.com.”. Personally I think the Village of Sharon should get the funds and that this is a travesty given that they had been awarded.
My point isn’t about that, it is about Paul Ryan’s lack of support for any stimulus funds. How he can then go and fight for the reinstatement of funds that he didn’t want in the first place is beyond me. As Paul Ryan himself said about the stimulus funds “Yeah, so, I would prospectively repeal the stimulus and put it toward better policy. I don’t think the Keynesian stimulus has worked very well. Those jobs were occurring anyways – those road jobs, through gas tax funding. … It hasn’t created the jobs. It hasn’t brought us to 8 percent unemployment.” http://thinkprogress.org/2009/12/08/paul-ryan-stim-repeal/
Diana, he can’t have it both ways. If he is fighting for a municipality in his District to receive funds, he should have done so in the first place. To actively now support funds he was never for, is the utmost in hypocrisy.
MadCityMan, did you return your tax cut checks even though your probably didn’t support Bush’s tax policies?
Nope, but I’m not an elected official who says one thing and does another. The people of Sharon will think that Ryan was fighting for his District from day one of the Obama administration when what he has been doing is being an obstructionist on funds for his District while raking in funds for his own political re-election.

THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF INTESTINAL MUCUS (huh??)
In March, I had the opportunity to attend the fascinating annual World Congress on the Gut Microbiota for Health conference in Miami. Overall, the number of questions raised was far greater than questions answered, but the potential for knowledge and applied interventions waiting for science to uncover them seems limitless. I truly can’t wait to learn all that science will have to offer in the decades to come.
For now, enjoy this wonderful new resource I discovered from the Gut Microbiota for Health website. They share the latest scientific discoveries and free informative infographics like the one included below on THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF INTESTINAL MUCUS:
“The intestinal barrier is the first line of defense against pathogens and antigens in the gut and it encompasses both physical and chemical properties. However, little is known about its critical function for maintaining health and how barrier function is influenced by the microbiota under healthy conditions or in physiological states.
Have a look at our new Gut Microbiota for Health infographic to learn how a dysfunctional intestinal barrier may play a role in the development of gastrointestinal diseases.”
As mentioned many times before on our blog and social media posts, there is SO MUCH to learn about the gut microbiome’s influence on our health – from gut health, to weight management, to depression/anxiety, to colon cancer risks.

We Build Barstool Racers.
The idea of a powered barstool is by no means new. Back in 1985 John Norton answered the question that no one had asked. He built the first barstool with an electric starter motor, so he could ride across his shop to retrieve another beer from the fridge. Mike Ferguson was just a kid hangin’ out and watchin’ guys make these stools and race them. The ideas he had for improving them and the fun factor stuck in his head. Mike finally decided to quit talking about and start building the “best powered barstools in the world”.
In 2002 Big Chicken Barstools was formed with the intention to build functional utility vehicles for the racetrack, and really fun toys. Over the next couple of years they expanded the product line by asking his customers “what else can we do”? The customers responded and the barstools on this page are examples of the hundreds they have built.
At Big Chicken Hot Rods, Mike decided to step up the game and in 2016 began building new and improved versions of the already successful, powered barstool products. The new barstool designs feature improvements based on what they have learned from fifteen plus years of producing barstools and utility vehicles.
Big Chicken builds a variety of powered barstools. They leave the shop running about 25mph and as your skill level increases you can “turn the wick up” to 40 with adjustments to the governor. At Big Chicken, they have built it all. Tandem barstools, utility barstool trucks, full race barstools with 90 mph gearing, and even an off road barstool for a southern Arizona ranch.
The option list is everything from mild to wild. For example, electric start, front disc brakes, leather seat, custom wheels, custom two stage powder coating, color matched to your auto paint, bumpers, aero package, just to name a few. Stay tuned, it’s gonna get bigger and better.
Give us a call and let us help you design your custom, one of a kind, show stopping, garage enhancing, talk of the race pits and the neighborhood, barstool or truck.
The pictures here are examples of the standard model barstool, where quality of construction and top shelf components are first and foremost. The chassis is Tig welded DOM tubing and features laser cut and CNC machined brackets and tabs. Each barstool chassis is constructed in house and is designed to handle heavy use and abuse without bending or leaning. Wheelie bars come as standard equipment, along with a custom designed cup holder in the upper steering brace so you don’t have to ask your friend to “hold your drink” while you ride. The standard drivetrain consists of a Briggs 6.5hp vanguard engine with a 3 year factory warranty, Torque-A- Verter clutch system hooked up to a 1.25 chromoly rear axle and race cart hubs and polished aluminum wheels. Mike is so confident in the craftsmanship and design of his barstools that Big Chicken offers a lifetime warranty on the frame.

With the price of fuel rising as we speak, the only logical way of making your money go further in the world of modern motoring is to make your fuel go further. Here are our top tips for driving in a more economical fashion:
– Ensure your car is serviced regularly. Whilst this may be a hassle, things such as replacing your oil or checking your tyre pressure have been shown to have a dramatic effect on fuel costs. An under-inflated tyre will cause more resistance and therefore cost more in fuel, and always ensure that you top up the tyre pressure when carrying heavier loads.
– Remove excess weight. This doesn’t mean get on a treadmill. Your car will work harder to carry more weight, which will take more fuel. Make your car as light as possible by removing surplus items from the boot and back seats, or roof-boxes. This will also help you to stay streamlined, which will benefit your fuel consumption.
– Plan journeys. If you get lost or are forced to drive around aimlessly to find somewhere, you are wasting fuel unnecessarily. Plan ahead, save time, save fuel, save money.
– Drive smoothly. Accelerate gently, ease your car to a slow stop rather than a harsh brake, and you will save fuel, as well as reduce the risk of accidents. Also try to keep the car in motion- repeated stopping and starting the vehicle will have a detrimental effect on your fuel levels.
– Drive responsibly – Change gear earlier than you are used to. The recommended rpm to change gear at is around 2,000 for a diesel car or 2,500 for petrol.
– Reduce non-essential usage. Have a window open if at all possible, and save the AC for motorway driving. Keep electrical loads off to reduce fuel consumption and you will see your money go further.
– Turn the engine off if you expect to be stationary for more than three minutes. Ignore the myth that turning off the engine and back on again will use more fuel –this simply isn’t true.
– Drive legally. Specifically, this refers to speed limits. Not only is it highly dangerous to speed in your car, the higher your speed, the more fuel you will use. A difference of as little as 10mph can mean as much as 25% more fuel usage.
Follow our tips for more economical driving, and see your car go further along with your cash.

• Further Future Announces Full Schedule
• Citizenn Announces Debut Album, Drops Lead Track “Tied”
• Till Von Sein preps new LP for May
Further Future Announces Full Schedule
A global community of nomads, dreamers, burners and music lovers will converge May 1-3 at an awe inspiring location in the Nevada desert, an hour outside of Las Vegas, for Further Future Voyage 001. The event will feature art installations, visionary speakers from the worlds of business, science, and technology, an assortment of food and beverage services; and a ridiculous lineup of electronic music artists including Actress, Damien Lazarus & The Ancient Moons, FaultyDL, Frank and Tony and Bob Moses. The Robot Heart Art Car from Burning Man will soundtrack each sunrise, with more surprises sure to be in store. For more information, the full lineup and ticket info, head here, and check out the latest video from Further Future below.
Citizenn Announces Debut Album, Drops Lead Track “Tied”
Citizenn will release his debut album via Crosstown Rebels. The hard working London producer will drop his first LP on June 15. Called ‘Human Interface’, it’s based around very modern themes. Citizenn said: “I’ve always been completely infatuated with technology. It’s omnipresent in our daily lives and how we have become completely dependent upon it to survive. It allows us to manifest complex ideas and emotions in an artistic context.” The album campaign is kicked off by lead track ‘Tied’, which is a nod to the tough, old-skool house production that first broke Citizenn onto the scene. It’ll be released as an EP on May 18 and will come backed by remixes from Murk, Adesse Versions and Denney. Check it below. (via Mixmag)
Till Von Sein preps new LP for May
In 2011, Till Von Sein released his debut album “#LTD” that resonated with house music enthusiasts the scene over. Within three years, Sein dialed into his sound and under ridiculous restraints still turned out a cohesive 10 track LP that echoes his vision to the note. “Precious” feels more like Sein’s hand signature as opposed to an homage to house music and it shows. Sein shifts heavily between his unique take on R’n’B, soul fused pop, and incredible warm house cuts while never losing touch of the records feeling like “songs” rather than “tracks.” There is a lot to take from this album and we’re excited to see Tilly back at it so soon.
One of our favorite examples of Tilly’s unmistakable range is displayed in the record “Young Again.” It features a strong call-and-response concept that raises hairs and really grows on you with every listen. Another example of Sein’s range shows with the records “Like Air” featuring Suol-mate, Meggy on vocal duties and “Electric Love” featuring Diamon Setter & Maria Leonard. Both of these records are Tilly’s outright interpretations of the rhythm and blues genre and really are some of the strongest takeaways from the album. Considering this LP is heading for a spring release we think it’s a great companion to accompany you during the turning season. “Precious” will be released by German label, Suol and will hit stores on May 22nd.

Indian Creek is a lovely little CG, BUT this year it's in the midst of a long stretch of MAJOR road construction. (And I suspect next year, and possibly the year after that. As I said, it's major construction.) Much of this stretch of road is one-lane, with up to 30-minute delays while the other side waits for the pilot car. Staying at Indian Creek might be a pain while this is going on. That said, there are lots of other attractive CGs in the park. The smaller ones are first-come, the others reservable.
Henry's Lake has electric & water hookups, dump station and a somewhat Spartan showerhouse. Fantastic 360-degree view! Can be windy. No shade. It isn't large, so sites may or may not be available.
Grizzly RV in West Yellowstone has gotten our vote multiple times. Very manicured, but certainly convenient, has FHUs, can accommodate big rigs but also welcomes popups & tents, and rates are competitive with other private CGs outside Yellowstone.
I think the reason for so few mfgs of them is that the bigger RV companies have been buying up the smaller ones. There still seem to be quite a few around - though more in the Midwest than the west, it seems.
There is - or at least last month there was - major construction on Ashton Hill. Narrow lanes, rough no-pavement areas, etc. It's not a huge issue, but was certainly interesting to tow through! It's possible it's better now, but just a heads-up. Otherwise, 20 is a great road, and very scenic.
We have roughly the same truck (did yours come with a "tow package"?) and have towed 3 trailers with it: a 22' hybrid trailer (I forget the GVWR of the trailer but it was under 6000 lbs, I'm sure), a 34' "light" trailer with a GVWR of 7600 lbs, and our current 27' trailer with a GVWR of 6500 lbs. It did well with all 3, but I will say it seems an awful lot happier with the new trailer than with the big one.
DO NOT choose the 9800-lb one UNLESS it has a cargo carrying capacity (which will be listed on a sticker either on the outside of the trailer or inside a cupboard somewhere) of AT LEAST 2800 lbs. Seriously. Payload capacity of the Tundra is low compared to other 1/2-ton trucks, and that will limit the tongue weight of the trailer you pull. We travel with just us 2 adults and a 10-lb cat, plus perhaps 250 pounds of stuff in the truck at most (counting the weight of the hitch) and we were right at capacity with our large trailer - in fact, we were a bit overweight for the truck's GVWR. The other trailer you're looking at is about the maximum you should consider with the truck you have, IMO.
Incidentally, all the negative stuff you will hear about the Tundra as far as weights go is pretty much true. However, you will probably love the truck otherwise. :)
Absolutely. We always felt 294 was the better option anyway - but for sure during rush hour! :) That said, 294 can slow to a crawl in parts during rush hour.
Msmith, check your private messages. I wrote out a route that will save you some of the congestion around the junction of I-80 and I-65.
Holy cow, 2 weeks and you don't have reservations already?
Where to stay: With a popup, you have a little more flexibility, as long as you can do without hookups. Nevertheless, at least half of the campgrounds inside Yellowstone take reservations (through Xanterra.com) and are likely to be full. The first-come, first-served campgrounds (check Xanterra for the list) will probably be full by midday. You can stay outside the park - there are some nice national forest/national park campgrounds (no hookups) in the Tetons if you're coming in from the south. If you're coming in from the east (Cody), be aware that Cody itself is a good 2-hour drive (one way) from the Yellowstone Grand Loop road (which is where you need to be). Plan on a minimum of 3 full days in Yellowstone to just skim the highlights; 4 or 5 days better, especially if you want to include the (next-door) Grand Teton National Park. (One entry fee of $25 per vehicle covers both parks for a week. Keep your receipt.) Most convenient place to stay outside the park or if you need hookups is in West Yellowstone, which is, as it sounds, on the west side of the park. Grizzly RV, two different KOAs, some smaller private campgrounds, and Henrys Lake State Park (Idaho) are decent choices. Call ahead NOW to reserve a site. I strongly recommend you check rvparkreviews.com for information on CGs, and do a search for "Yellowstone" on this site for "what to expect."
Briefly, what to expect - lots of driving, 45 mph or less, beautiful scenery (much milder & less spectacular than Colorado), high altitude (most of the park is 7500 feet or higher), lots of wildlife (especially bison), some of which will be right alongside the road or even on it, none of which is tame. Thermal features (geysers, hot springs, etc.) in many areas of the park, but concentrated in a few areas. Also expect lots of fellow tourists everywhere.
Supplies: bring clothes for layering; bring rain gear - the park has been wet this year & is often cool at night. Cameras & binoculars for sure. Re: food - there are restaurants (pricey), hot dog-burger-ice cream places (not all that cheap) and cafeterias in the park at the major lodging areas (Old Faithful, Canyon, Lake, Mammoth, Grant Village). Yellowstone General Stores often have small grocery stores (very pricey). West Yellowstone has a couple (pricey) small grocery stores. Cody has a Walmart.
What to do: Sightsee. Depending on your family's interests, there are some activities offered in & around the park, such as horseback riding, scenic boat tours, fishing (Wyoming licenses required, but short-term ones are not terribly expensive), hiking. Be sure to check with the rangers before you hike, as there are some restrictions and some very important cautions you will need to know about. There are also other activities outside the park - the Cody rodeo, a brand-new rope climbing/zipline park in West Yellowstone, the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone - lots more. Swimming, TV and Wifi connections are rather limited in the area.
Msmith, Definitely take 294. Camperpaul, isn't 94 under construction this year? Or is that 90?
The "beltway" around Indianapolis is I-465. To head to Dayton, take the section that goes around Indy to the north - unless that's under construction. (Hoosiers, any clues on this?)
Be sure to check if RVs are allowed on that section of LSD (Lake Shore Drive). Parts of it are closed to RVs - even to pickup trucks!
Since you have the family with you, another couple of ideas: Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton, IN or Illinois Beach State Park in Zion, IL. Both are about 45-50 miles out of the city but are along commuter rail lines that will take you right into downtown. The parks have electric hookups (also some water hookups at IL Beach) and both parks have decent beaches in them (Lake Michigan). Although IMO Indiana Dunes is a bit nicer CG, both are decent places to stay. Bring bug spray, though. That area of the country has LOTS of mosquitoes.
I assume yours is a gas-electric HWH. If so, did you have it set to run on electric, or just on gas? We have had problems with past HWHs not being all that reliable on gas, but they worked ok on electric. Perhaps you need to set it on that instead. There should be a switch on the outside of the heater itself, plus one in the circuit panel. If it's a gas-only heater, then you may just have a blockage of the gas to it - spiderwebs are a common cause of that and can be cleaned out. They make special tools to do that (not expensive) which most RV supply places would have.
Not the same vehicle, and RWD to boot, but we had a V6 SUV with which we towed a shorter, lighter HTT than the trailer you're considering. It struggled bigtime in 20 mph headwinds across the plains; we didn't dare take it over mountains. Ended up buying a much more capable tow vehicle. Sorry, I agree with the others here so far - too much trailer for your TV.
Depends on how far west in Nebraska you're interested in, but we liked Ft Kearny State Rec Area (you'd need advance res's for a weekend night, though) - electric hookups at the sites, nice shade. A really big rig might have a problem fitting in most sites, though.
Ft Kearny State Historic Park (different park) is nearby & interesting if you're into history.
We actually liked the Cheyenne KOA (in case you find you can get to eastern Wyoming on the day you were aiming for western Nebraska). Big rigs may have to unhitch to fit in the pull-thru sites, and the CG is covered in river rock (round stones about the size of golf balls) so a bit difficult for those with mobility issues, but it's very clean and the road & train noise isn't bad at all.
Haven't stayed there, but Cabela's in Sidney, Nebraska has a fairly large CG, with space for big rigs and hookups, behind their flagship store there. Walk to restaurants as well as to shopping in Cabela's itself. It gets good reviews.
We're just learning some places in Idaho, but have so far enjoyed Massacre Rocks State Park near American Falls (electric-water hookups) - big rigs won't find many sites to fit in, and the lower loop will be far less noisy; Bruneau Dunes State Park - about 20 miles or more off the interstate but quiet & peaceful (busy on weekends but a great star show then!), electric hookups; Castle Rocks State Park by the City of Rocks - off the beaten path but within 45 miles of the interstate in 2 directions, elec-water sites in pinon pines, great view, some sites will accommodate big rigs. Village of Trees RV "Resort" just east of Burley is nice - not as shady as it sounds like, but fairly large grassy sites, FHUs, and along the Snake River; older but clean facilities. Friends have seen the Mountain Home RV Park and said it was very nice; we haven't been there yet.
I do not recommend the Boise-Meridian KOA. Tight spaces, an RV parking lot. Clean, but not where I'd choose to stay again. Our local KOA (Pocatello) is making improvements, and many sites have some shade - awfully nice this time of year!
We will be staying on both sides of the park during our upcoming trip to Glacier - first at West Glacier, then on the east side at a CG in St Mary('s?) I know there had been some posts in the past about the best route to take (we'll take US 2 around the south end of the park, but there are several choices from there to where we want to go) - I can't seem to find those old posts, so - with apologies - could folks here recommend the best route to take? We'll be towing our 27' TT. TIA!
Tunnels on the PA turnpike at one time had two-way traffic in one tunnel. When I was in trucking in Pa. I delivered the "banana frames" for a new tunnel so each lane had their own tunnel. It was quite a project. Tunnel borer tires were the height of my 18 wheel tractor.
So, the next time you're going through one of the Eastern tunnels and don't see an eighteen wheeler bearing down on you from the opposite direction, think maybe, jerrybo66 had a small part in your safety...
Thank you, Jerry. I will admit, I used to enjoy the old, 2-lane tunnels on the Pike when I was a kid. They sure do seem safer & nicer now.
As noted, except for the Sierras, the Wasatch just east of SLC, and one pass between Cheyenne & Laramie in Wyoming, it's pretty flat. In fact, once you get to Cheyenne, you'll be going very, very gradually downhill. Lots of trucks - I-80 is the workhorse of America - and Wyoming is quite windy (springtime the worst, I suspect). For that matter, it can be windy across the plains anywhere; heading east, you'll catch either a crosswind or a tailwind, and the latter can be quite helpful to the mpg.

“You cannot have it both ways. A dancer who relies upon the doubtful comforts of human love can never be a great dancer. Never.”
Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:
Response to Peary’s Review:
In his Alternate Oscars, Peary names Walbrook Best Actor of the Year for his role as Boris Lermontov, and provides a detailed analysis of his character. He writes that Walbrook “gives a sad, disturbing portrait of a complex, frustrated man who is so dedicated to his art — he calls ballet his religion — that he suppresses his human qualities”, hiding “behind a defense comprised of a stone face, an authoritative position that allows for no dissenters, and smart, smug remarks and answers to everything”. He points out that Walbrook is “so devoted… to ballet that he feels betrayed when anyone fails to share his vision and would compromise their talents for something as trivial as love and marriage”. Of course, these days, the choice between marriage and a career — or even motherhood and a career — isn’t nearly as black-and-white, thus dating this critical element of the storyline; but Walbrook’s personal insistence that the two are mutually exclusive (Shearer and Goring rightfully disagree) is what lies behind the film’s driving dilemma.
Peary has some quibbles about the film. He posits that the central rendition of “The Red Shoes” ballet “shouldn’t be stylized at all” given that “it was staged by purist Walbrook”, and that “because of the cinematic liberties and excesses of the ballet sequences, it’s impossible to readjust to [the] realistic sequences that follow”. Hogwash on both counts: the mix works just beautifully, and there’s no reason to believe Walbrook’s character wouldn’t stage such elaborate ballets. Meanwhile, Peary argues that while “the first half of the film is masterful, the second half is miserable”, given that “the male directors [have] manipulated us into disliking Walbrook so much that we have trouble realizing that what he wants for Shearer is what is best for her”. In Alternate Oscars, he writes that Walbrook “is presented… as if he were a sinister villain in this modern-day fairy tale”, but that “the selfish [Goring] is [actually] the piece’s villain” given that he has apparently asked Shearer “to give up dance”. I don’t see this as the case at all. While it’s true that Walbrook’s character has “finer qualities” — i.e., “he gives both Julian [Goring] and Vicky [Shearer] their big breaks, instinctively believing in them and putting himself on the line on their behalf” — he’s ultimately a brilliant yet flawed petty tyrant whose narcissistic worldview and insistence on maintaining absolute control become his (and Shearer’s) fatal undoing.

The first of a long-running series to come to Nintendo Switch, ported at the start of September following an earlier PS4 and Xbox One release, MX vs ATV All Out might very well scratch the itch that some have for speeding offroad across dirt tracks and through dunes in authentic, ‘motocrossover’ action. While the performance and visuals take the dirt track rather than the smooth road, it’s a competent port that gets the job done for playing on the go.
Getting started, the game drops you right into a wide-open ‘hub-world’ of sorts, allowing you to freely ride around, tackle tutorials at your own pace, and generally get to grips with the huge variety of camera angles and control nuances as you rev to your heart’s content over terrain. It’s something that the MX vs ATV games have done in the past, and it’s a great way to ease the player into a racing game that can feel quite different from your average kart racer at times.
Once you’ve got to grips with the basics, there are a ton of different modes and events you can take part in, from Supercross, to Opencross, to Waypoint races, or even Tony Hawk-style Freestyle events, where you’ll have to rack up as many points as possible in a certain time limit by doing tricks. The events are quite varied, and are also quite variable in difficulty, too. I found myself breezing through the waypoint races, for example, only to get absolutely thrashed when it came to the harsh corners in the more traditional arena motocross events.
Customisation is off the bike chain in MX vs ATV, and it gets so granular at points (allowing you to change colours on bike grips and breaks etc.) that you can’t even see what you’re changing with the downgraded Switch visuals. You can fully rig out your rider in a ton of outfits and colours, tweak your vehicles (and buy new vehicles entirely – Bikes, Quads and UTV’s), and even programme the AI riders in a bunch of different ways, personalising your competition even further.
Ported over from console and PC, MX vs ATV All Out takes an expected performance hit on the Switch. It’s not a very elegant transition either, with textures looking muddy and ugly by today’s standards. Load times are reminiscent of another era, audio glitches here and there can be a bit jarring, and framerates leave something to be desired in 2020.
That being said, aside from a bit of slow down at times when you get clumped up with other racers, the gameplay is consistent in both handheld and docked modes. There are also some impressive features that can be fun to play around with, such as a photo mode, and the ability to shift the perspective on-the-fly, from a thrilling first-person perspective to an effective drone camera view.
Overall, the Switch version of MX vs ATV All Out is a competent port, even if it does feel like the specs have just been dialled back. However, with an expected performance hit and none of the additional DLC included to make this a ‘definitive’ version, it’s hard to recommend if you are able to play on PlayStation or Xbox. If you can’t get enough motocross action and want a version to play on the go, then the Switch port gets the job done without dragging up too much dirt in the process. Otherwise, you can likely already pick this up for cheaper elsewhere.
MX vs ATV All Out £34.99
While a flat tyre performance and empty tank when it comes to DLC make it difficult to recommend over the already released PlayStation and Xbox versions, MX vs ATV All Out is a competent Switch port, with plenty of customisation options and gameplay variation.

EveryBody by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay is an inclusive weekend (19 – 21 Apr) of dance, challenging the conventional idea of a dancing body and redefining what is possible in dance and in life.
This year’s artists have inspiring and meaningful philosophies on art and life. New York-based Monica Bill Barnes & Company’s motto is “bringing dance where it doesn’t belong”, while leading Australian company Restless Dance Theatre believes in showcasing artists who have lived experience of disability but who are not defined by their disability. We hope that this second edition of EveryBody will bring new perspectives on what it means to dance, and what it means to be human.

Pumpkins in the Parking Lot – FREE Family Event
September 26, 2015 @ 12:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Keg and Kitchen is ringing in the season of spices with Pumpkins in the Parking Lot, a full day of food, brews and family fun. As America sees the “Pumpkinification” of almost every food and drink imaginable, the beer industry is no different, and Keg and Kitchen is determined to bring the best of that segment to this free, all day event.
Keg’s chefs and owners are preparing quite the line-up of offerings, including thirty-five pumpkin and seasonal beers, available as full drafts and bottles, as well as 5 oz. samples. Complimenting these seasonal brews, will be bratwurst flying off the grill from Keg and Kitchen’s Beer Garden.
Owner, Kevin Meeker promises a day celebrating the flavors of the coming fall season, but even more importantly, a day celebrating our community. “This is the kind of day that let’s me tell our customers how much they mean to us and to thank the community for making this a great place to meet people and run a business,” said Meeker. “This is really a day for folks to get together with friends and make new ones throughout the day.”
This is a free event and for the entire family. In the beer garden and under the big tents, they’ll be pumpkin painting, face painting and traditional German music filling the air.

A Presentation Support System by Expanding Embodiment With a Mobile Touchscreen Device
Most of the people make presentations by using tools such as pointers. However, the use of information devices such as laser pointers and mice can restrict the presenter's embodied motions and actions. In this paper, the authors propose a presentation support system that can expand embodiment by using a portable touch screen device. First, they develop a prototype of the system by using an iPhone, and then, they perform experimental evaluation. Next, they perform the evaluation of the modes of PPTouch, and the effectiveness of the system in various situations is clarified. Then, they perform comparison with conventional pointers, and evaluation by participants.

Hui Li, professor in the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences at MSU.
The group will study the impact of current biosolids treatment methods used by wastewater treatment facilities on a variety of pollutants in soil, water and plants. For agricultural purposes, some growers are using biosolids as a soil amendment to provide plant nutrients and improve soil health, but there are growing concerns that they are inadvertently introducing harmful chemicals such as harmful chemicals. – and polyfluoroalkylated or PFAS, as well as pharmaceutical and personal care products or PPPP.
PFAS, in particular, have become a growing public concern in recent years as a threat to human health, resulting in an increased focus on research by funding agencies and scientists. To this end, MSU created the Center for PFAS Research, which brings together scientists from across the university to quantify and communicate the risks of PFAS while working to mitigate its impact.
The development of quantitative models for human exposure is the ultimate goal of the new project, followed by the reporting of information through MSU Extension and other outreach initiatives.
“Human activities cause more of these chemicals to reach municipal water resource recovery facilities, which are currently ineffective in removing PFAS,” Li said. “We are trying to leverage our understanding of the problem to shed light on them. possible treatment methods in the future, the potential risks associated with the application of biosolids in soils and the accumulation of these chemicals in plants. “
The research team includes MSU scientists Wei Zhang, associate professor in the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, and Courtney Carignan, assistant professor in the Department of Food Sciences and Human Nutrition. They are joined by James Ippolito of Colorado State University, Qingguo Huang of the University of Georgia and John Norton Jr. of the Great Lakes Water Authority.
“We are delighted to support and help lead this important project,” said Norton, director of energy, research and innovation at the Great Lakes Water Authority. “We remain committed to providing the best water and wastewater treatment that we can provide. This important research project will help us understand, and therefore minimize, the risks associated with the treatment of biosolids in wastewater.
Research for this project initially began with seed funding from the GREEEN or Generating Research and Extension to Meet Economic and Environmental Needs Project, a partnership between MSU, crop farming organizations and the State of Michigan. .
The MSU Center for PFAS Research strives to quantify and communicate the risks associated with PFAS and mitigate impacts on human health, agriculture and natural resources.
The objective of the GREEEN project phase was to assess the absorption and accumulation of PFAS in food crops from soils amended with biosolids. Specifically, the researchers tested two extraction methods to quantify a series of types of PFAS in lettuce tissue. A synthesis document summarized research progress, while identifying knowledge gaps.
“We have seen preliminary results which have enabled us to present a proposal for EPA funding,” said Li. “We are very grateful for the opportunity offered by this grant and our partners who will work with us to acquire knowledge about the prevalence of these chemicals across the country. This has significant potential to help address a growing food security challenge. “
With the new funding, the first step is for scientists to monitor current biosolids processing processes for the concentration and leachability of PFAS and PPCP. Then, through field and laboratory experiments, Li and his team will seek to fill knowledge gaps about the fate, transport, occurrence and uptake by plants of PFAS and PPCP. This data collection will aid in the development of models that quantify the risk of exposure to humans, which will be shared with communities and agencies responsible for processing biosolids.
“EPA has set one of its priorities as the assessment of pollutants in biosolids, so our work fits perfectly,” Li said. “We look forward to supporting states, municipalities and utilities to help develop biosolids management standards and policies. “

Skillful control of physical interaction is essential for emerging therapeutic and assistive robot te chnologies. Robot-aided neuro-motor therapy—now clinically proven to be effective—requires se nsitive but forceful physical interaction with a patient. Controlling physical interaction is challeng ing; contact can severely de-stabilize a robot. Motorized amputation prostheses present even great er challenges; they must manage physical interaction with objects in the world as well as with th e amputee. This talk will review how machine mimicry of natural control provides the gentleness required for robot-aided therapy and enables seamless coordination of natural and prosthetic limb s. Controlling mechanical impedance is the key to managing physical interaction. I will argue tha t knowledge of the human neuro-mechanical system is a pre-requisite for success in these applic ations and present recent studies of the human wrist and ankle mechanical impedance.
