Although thousands of visitors will soon take over the streets downtown, and surrounding U M central campus, locals can stake their own territorial claim on Monday night, when the seventh annual Townie Street Party happens on East Washington Street, between Thayer and Fletcher. With live music; art activities; a kids art fair; food and drink vendors; and an enclosed, private bar for Townie Friends of the Fair, the event provides locals with the chance to gather and enjoy an evening of free outdoor entertainment. are some significant changes this year, said Michelle Schaefer, director of programs and community outreach for the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, which organizes the Townie Street Party. changes. Last year, we were on North University, and this year, moving to East Washington creates a much more open site plan, so there more lawn area to sit on. And you can see the stage better. Plus, various local organizations will offer attendees the chance to make ceramic tiles, free moving mobiles, mini comics, paper bag hats, and geo art maps; or play Booktionary; or contribute to this year community art project, a CommuniTree. Townie Party attendees are welcome to bring unwanted cords to the party for use in the project. activities are a relatively new addition to the Townie Street Party, and it something that just took off, said Schaefer. year, there were lines at all the activities. They were all so busy, and I thought, this is something we can easily focus more on. Obviously, the community enjoys them and wants to have even more. kids art fair, meanwhile, also appears to be getting bigger and more popular each year. While more than 70 kids, grades 1 8, submitted their work to jurors (mostly made up of art educators) last year, that number has risen so that more than 90 kids will have their work on display, and on sale. But for those looking to just have a drink while taking in the evening live music, there The Townie Pub or the VIP area called The Terrace, now in its second year at the party. Townie Friends of the Fair who make a $50 donation, $25 of which is tax deductible, each earn admission to the Terrace, which will offer free hors d and drinks. Arbor Brewing Co. will supply beverages for both the Pub and the Terrance. was definitely very successful in its first year, said Schaefer. we tried to make improvements there, too. Attendees are primarily concerned about, I get my drink? Can I get it fast, and get it in my hand? So we have a lot more bartenders this year, experienced bartenders, to help things run more smoothly. surprisingly, Schaefer and AASF director Maureen Riley found planning for the Townie Street Party easier in their second year, and aimed to give it an even more local flavor. (Literally in the case of the Terrace, which was run by Bell Brewery last year.) event this size always takes lots of planning, said Schaefer. once you have something good in place, it easier to keep adding more on top of that to make it even better. Being from Ann Arbor myself has made me an enlightened progressive human being. We are the elite people of Michigan and must show the rest of the state how to think and behave in accordance to a humanistic view showing that we evolved from poo throwing monkey Our ape ancestor was clearly more evolved from Ann Arbor than other primates from other cities. People don understand how great it is to believe you evolved from a pile of ocean slime, to a fish, to some kind of land creature, to a monkey to an Ann Arbor Townie. Oh, I also make $28,000 a year, work at Starbucks, and have degree in Woman Studies and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, thanks!

Before you go If you're taking your own bike, get it fully serviced before long trips. Check your tyres, brake pads, oil, cables and suspension, especially if you're heading deep into remote areas. The last thing you need is a breakdown in the middle of nowhere! Peov's Motorcycle shop (7Eo St 53) specializes in dirt bikes and comes highly recommended. Make sure you know basic bike maintenance and repair. It's pointless to have a perfect toolkit if you don't know how to use it! What to take Wear a helmet. There, I've said it. Wear a helmet! If you do wipe out it's going to be the only thing between your skull and the ground. Bike shops provide these with rentals, so try on a few until you get a good fit. If you have one, a medium size Camelback is perfect. You don't want a massive back pack weighing down your back tyre, so try to pack as minimally as possible. Russian market sells a wide range of day packs perfect for riding, and most guesthouses and hotels can take care of other baggage for you. A bum bag (fanny pack) is perfect for carrying spare parts, tools and other small items. Jeans or combat pants and a long sleeved T shirt are the best clothes for riding, and a sturdy pair of footwear is a good idea for protection. As biking boots are hard to come by in Cambodia, most people use tough shoes or comfortable army boots. You can pick up a pair of army boots for about $7 at the army surplus market on Pochentong Road. Don't bring too many clothes with you just a set of clothes for riding and a few changes for evenings or around town. Laundry is cheap and quick so you can get your things cleaned along the way. Save a little space for a hammock mosquito net if you'll be camping out or staying in a village. Dry season can get very dusty, so wear some eye protection. If you don't have riding goggles you can pick up clear plastic safety glasses at Central Market for a few dollars. You'll need them at dusk as well when all the bugs come out. Main routes usually have small bike repair shops that can deal with flat tyres and minor problems, but if you're heading far off the beaten track, a decent first aid kit and toolkit is advisable. A good toolkit would include a puncture repair kit, pump, a set of Allen keys, tyre levers and electrician's tape. Dirt bike parts might be hard to find in the provinces, so as a bare minimum take a spare inner tube, spare cables and levers for your clutch and brake, a few chain link and brake pads. You'll need a few extra sets of brake pads in the rainy season as they will wear out quickly. A good oil spray will keep your chain slick. When heading into the countryside, it's best to carry a combination of local currency (riel) and low/medium denomination dollar bills. Faded or torn higher denomination bills are useless so don't accept them from anyone. On the Road Try to get an early start on rides, the earlier the better. The weather will be cooler and the roads leaving Phnom Penh less hectic. If heading into remote areas, this will also give you more time for rough stretches, rest stops and possible breakdowns. Cover up and use sunscreen when riding don't be deceived by the wind in your ears, it's HOT out there! A krama (Cambodian scarf) is cheap and will protect the back of your neck. Drink plenty of water (that's where the Camelback comes in!). Buy some 'Royal D' rehydration salts and add them to your drinking water at rest stops most pharmacies in Phnom Penh carry them for a few hundred riel. Heat exhaustion won't hit you until the evening, and the last thing you want is to feel groggy when you should be relaxing. We all hate them but mosquitoes are here to stay. Use a good repellent to keep them off you, and try to cover up around sunset when they're at their hungriest. Guesthouses will nearly always provide mosquito nets if necessary make sure you tuck them under your mattress before sleeping. Natural deterrents include citronella spray, and Vitamin B12 or garlic supplements. Repellent may also deter leeches in jungle areas, but check your ankles and arms if you've been riding in the wet or through slow moving water. Don't tempt fate by leaving an open invitation for people to steal things. When parking up and exploring, make sure you lock up your bike and remove the keys. You'll probably want to take your bags with you as well for peace of mind. If you're not sure of the best path around an obstacle, a flooded pothole or through a very rough patch, look for tell tale tracks from past bikes or carts. It is very common for bridges in Cambodia to be missing a few planks, or even complete sides. Half built bridges are rarely closed off and usually have a small, unmarked diversion. Be very cautious when approaching all bridges in rural area you don't want a 10 foot drop at 60 km per hour! Riding in rural areas brings with it rural hazards, so always keep your eyes open for chickens, dogs, pigs, cows (and young children!) that might, and usually do, run into the road. Be particularly careful around sunset, as rural roads will be full of cows being herded home and students leaving school on bicycles. Farm animals are one of the largest cause of biking injuries, and getting to a hospital may be a matter of hours, if not days. Use your horn. Sounding a horn is not considered rude or aggressive in Cambodia, and is used by everyone simply to say "I'm here". Use it as much as you like going around corners, through towns and passing cyclists/cars etc. Don't expect other people on the road to let you know their intentions. Swinging across to the opposite side of the road without signalling is VERY common, so give other vehicles a wide berth and watch them carefully for any sudden moves. Again, use your horn to tell them you're there, as they won't be used to fast moving vehicles coming up behind them. In the rainy season harmless looking puddles can turn out to be deeper than you might expect, sinking your bike, flooding your engine and sending you flying. If in doubt, follow old tyre tracks or go around it. Look out for tree branches sticking up from the middle of the road these have been placed here to warn passing vehicles of hazards such as ditches, holes and deep puddles. Jungle roads and bridges are often maintained by locals working of their own accord. Please show your appreciation by dropping them a few hundred riel as a contribution for their work if it wasn't for them many remote areas would be impassable. No matter which country you're riding in, some advice is universal. Use your common sense, keep your wits about you, and don't hare it around corners or through villages. Wherever you go people will be accommodating and friendly, so don't ruin it for everyone else by being thoughtless. Considerate riding and respect will ensure villagers' hospitality is long lived. Women Nike Free Run 2 Shield Stealth Black Yellow Grey Quilted,I've seen these before. Actually I got to really check out a pair one time at our hippo place. Here's my thinking: The boys ones are just okay as far as looks, to me. The brown ones are pretty cute, and the blue are decent. The black and white ones look like the shoes my dh wore when he worked in a restaurant, lol. But they are super easy to get on and off. So when Nate is old enough to start putting his shoes on and off by himself, I will probably get him a pair. But for now, I'm going with cute shoes. :) I think the best bet for shoes (other than hatchbacks) are stride rites and new balance because they both come in extra wide. I'm currently boycotting stride rite, as most of yall know, but just as well because New Balance shoes are about $20 cheaper! Nate now has a pair in brown and some white sneakers. :) For those LOs not walking yet, I got Mia the best little slipper socks to go over her SMOs and keep her feet warm at Target. They are very cute and cheap and would go over AFOs too. We have been getting lots of compliments on them, they have pink blue. They also have grippies on the bottom for when we do standing. If you get them I would get 2 pairs are wearing out quickly, so we have an everyday pair and a going somewhere pair. If you haven't already, you can go to stride rite or a store that carries New Balance, and have him measured and fitted into a shoe. Or at least measured, then you can order what you want online. But besides the special orthotic shoes, pretty much the only kind you can find in extra wide is SR and NB. A couple months ago, I went to buy Nate a pair of cute brown shoes for fall. I went to stride rite and had him measured and there was one cute brown pair that came in extra wide. I told the sales guy that he crawled and asked if the toe on that shoe would scuff easily (because that had happened with his white walkers from SR), and he said they would be great for crawling. Well, 2.5 days later, they weren't scuffed there were HOLES in the rubber on the toe from normal crawling. I took them back and said I wasn't happy to pay $55 for shoes that wouldn't hold up any better than that. The sales guy was so rude, told me they don't have "scuff insurance", at one point opened his mouth and closed it and said he wasn't going to say what was on his mind, must have been bad, then while looking at Nate's braces, said "Well, these shoes are made for WALKING." I said, Well, he doesn't walk, he crawls, and my job is to find him a pair of shoes that fit and don't fall apart within a week! Now give me back my money! He then proceeded to ask me all kinds of questions about why Nate doesn't walk. And that's the short story. So the biggest part of my complaint is about this particular sales guy, but I've also decided to not buy stride rite shoes because I really don't think they hold up well. This was the second pair that got totally ruined from crawling. I ordered a pair of really cute brown NB shoes and recently bought a pair of white sneakers from them too.
Website For Women Nike Free Run 2 Shield Stealth Black Yellow Grey Quilted,Men Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Dark Grey Wolf Grey Fornication is a selfish abuse of that sacred gift. Adultery is blasphemy to God law, a betrayal of one spouse, and a very serious sin. I hold very strongly to those beliefs; nevertheless I do not seek to make them laws, nor do I condemn within a public sphere others who disagree. Yet, a growing portion of Americans no longer distinguish between personal and political beliefs. Traditional beliefs are easily scorned, and often placed dishonestly in a political context. A current example is the debate over whether contraceptive services should be mandated as part of the health insurance policies of religious organizations. The issue is a constitutional one that concerns the First Amendment. Nevertheless, leading representatives of the Democratic Party have framed the debate as one of religious extremists wanting to deny women contraception. That absurd, but among activists who can no longer distinguish the political from the personal, it a catchy cause. The debate has also led to scorn of persons who personally oppose contraception. Rick Santorum, GOP presidential candidate, is often mocked for his personal opposition of most contraception use, although he long noted that he would not extend his personal beliefs into the public sphere. It hard to avoid the irony of Santorum being criticized by liberals and many Democrats for his while his detractors attempt to impose their beliefs on religious organizations through the new health care law. Mitt Romney has also been unfairly scorned and ridiculed for personal religious beliefs that he and others have no wish to inflict on others. The LDS doctrine of baptism for the dead was mocked by Bill Maher, who Romney descendants. Liberal blogger Andrew Sullivan has featured photos of the LDS garments, worn by members of the LDS faith, on his blog. These are considered sacred by faithful members. What interesting about this is that Maher, Sullivan, and many others who mock conservative personal religious beliefs do so unscathed from their peers, or liberal pols. The sharp move to the left in the past decade by the Democratic Party has made many persons with disgust for and hatred toward conservative people of faith more comfortable with their bigotry. Mea culpa, I forgot about spermacides. I probably forgot about them because they aren reliable ON THEIR OWN. Studies have shown that when spermicides are used alone, pregnancy usually occurs in 21 of each 100 women during the first year of spermicide use. The number of pregnancies is reduced when spermicides are used with another method, especially the condom. if a woman wants to take sole control of her birth control, the over the counter products do not work for her much of the time. To be SURE, she needs the other options, which require a visit to the Doctor. Ducks are lined up pretty straight. Hmmm. A sponge is nothing more than a spermicide holding device. So, again, I stick by my assertion that it not as reliable. I never heard of a female condom. Looked it up. Has a higher failure rate than a male condom. I can honestly say I know nothing about this. I do not know how many people are aware of them. I ask around. The question is, did Hijink55 know about them when he made his statement? Like I said, I need to look into this because I never heard of them. And, I tell you what, Owain/Brent, if I walk to Walgreens and do not find female condoms sitting on a shelf the same way that male condoms are, I have to stand by my assertion that they NOT so readily available. We can continue this conversation on Doug FB page. Owain, I went to Walgreens. There were all kinds of MALE condoms, there were some sponges, some spermicide creams, and all kinds of lube. There were NO, as in zero, FEMALE condoms. I was going to ask about them, but all the store personnel were busy. So, my point remains for two reasons: 1. contraception for women is not READILY, as in easily, available. 2. If you look up sponges, spermicide, and female condomes, you will see that none of them have the reliability of pills or diaphragms. Soooooo, a woman best bet is to use what is available only through a Doctor. Also, why are you bringing up abortion? We are talking about contraception. Don get the two things confused. Go to Doug FB page, I have a name to drop in relation to this conversation. I a registered nurse presently working hospice care for the VA. These beliefs have no place in providing health care, particularly not when it comes to legal birth control. What next? Demanding female genital mutilation because it a long held cultural belief? Can Jehovah Witnesses refuse to fund transfusions? What if I don want any of my tax money going to the Pentagon to fund little trophy wars that kill hundreds of thousands of true innocents, most of them women and children? I worked in a maximum security prison and took care of a serial killer of children. I have six children of my own. Should I have been able to refuse to provide care to this monstrous horror? No, of course not. That not what providing health care is about. I provided this with competent, professional, and appropriate care. If you can prescribe a legal birth control medication, you should have your license pulled. You not paying for, nor encouraging the use of these medications. Don want an abortion, don have one. Otherwise, shut the hell up and keep your religious superstitions to yourself. Pathetic. 1 Cor 15:29 covers for the Dead Paul was speaking to the town of Corinth near Eleusis, the site of the Eleusinian Mystery religion which started this Pagan practice of Baptism for the Dead in the Sea; the Mormon Temple Baptismal Fount is a replica of the Brazen Sea; Holy Water comes from replicas of the Laver, from Solomon Temple. Paul used the word not meaning Born Again Christians have no need of Baptism in the Sea either Dead or Alive; Jesus promised everyone who has ever lived will be resurrected and face Judgment. Once a person dies, Baptism for the Dead is a moot point. As for Rick Santorum beliefs, he is a Knight of Malta aka Knight of St John of Jerusalem aka Knight Hospitaller, a Jesuit Order under the Jesuit General Adolfo Nicholas, residing at the Vatican. As to Bill Maher, he is a secular atheist pretending to be of Jewish origin. a growing portion of Americans no longer distinguish between personal and political beliefs. no point in history has the mormon church or any other religious group distinguished between personal and political beliefs. issue is a constitutional one that concerns the First Amendment. Nevertheless, leading representatives of the Democratic Party have framed the debate as one of religious extremists wanting to deny women contraception. you think that RELIGIOUS groups are fighting this to protect the first amendment and it has nothing to do with RELIGION? I think you are being very dishonest. The issue is much simpler why should we continue in a system where your employer, religious or not, can dictate the kind of care you recieve? That is the real issue. It hard distinguish who is paying for what, when employers finance healthcare through the employees wages. Is it the employee or the employers? The employers either do the actual purchasing, or they end up designing the plan, but the whole thing is financed from funds allocated to wages. What if employers began dictating what things their employees could spend their cash money on? Would the issue be different? It would be nice to try and frame this issue as a matter of democrats vs religion, but I see stakeholders under this tent a bit differently. I see, religious employers, their employees, health insurance providers, medical providers, government, and I suppose the every day tax payer. It of course won happen, but if we wanted to sort through this then we would get into a system where employers pay wages, and employees do the purchasing. As it currently stands, however, you can advance a pseudo socialist solution to healthcare, and then argue that religious employers get the final say on matters of their employees healthcare. Women Nike Free Run 2 Shield Stealth Black Yellow Grey Quilted General description: A cluster of natural hot spring pools at a popular backpacking campground in the forested coast range of California. Only accessible by foot on a 10 mile trail, this spring is popular nonetheless and frequently visited. Sykes is a delightful natural hot spring adjacent to a rushing creek. The largest pool is sheltered on one side by a big boulder and by deadfall on the other. The water maintains a temperature of 100 degrees F, just the thing after a 10 mile hike. The long hike does not guarantee you of seclusion or of having the spring to yourself, as locals refer to Sykes as "Big Sur's worst kept secret." General description: A cluster of natural hot spring pools at a popular backpacking campground in the forested coast range of California.

The long hike does not guarantee you of seclusion or of having the spring to yourself, as locals refer to Sykes as "Big Sur's worst kept secret." This is a fantastic outing! The winding trail treats hikers to various terrain including Redwoods, tree tunnels, and canyon views. Make sure you bring a head light a water filter. You will most likely arrive in the dark unless you leave before 10am so you'll need a good light. Be sure to check with the rangers about fires before you go. There was a total fire ban in the valley when we arrived, but found most of the campers still cooking with small cook stoves. Better to err on the safe side, but I don't see any problem with responsible cooking on small burners. Finding the spring is a bit tricky as is camping, especially if you arrive in the dark. When you get to the river, there is camping either across and up the river to the right, or down not crossing the river (towards the springs) to your left. No need to cross the river. DONT expect a big dedicated camp area. Camping is more like one tent here, 3 there, and some hippy bivy looking guy down there, style. Find a spot and get ready to dip. To find the springs, you must follow the river down to your left about .3 of a mile (from the trail). It feels like forever. You will follow the river till you get to a large steep side trail that will take you up over the river about 25 meters. Go over it and you will descend back down to the river about 100 feet from the hot springs. You can also go through the river and avoid going over the steep trail but you'll get wet. There are THREE springs that you can soak your tired bones in. Small one on the approach 5 people can fit, Larger pool 4 meters up the hill 10 fit and lastly another down by the river, 4 people. All dope. Enjoy the trip. Hike takes a solid 5 6 hours on the way out. It will turn a 6 hour hike into forever. I do recommend some box wine for the hike. It's really nice to have a bit of white wine to take the edge off. My boyfriend and I hiked this route in March of 2004. The trail is one of those grueling up and down routes so you actually gain and lose quite a bit of elevation. The scenery is similar from start to finish, but gets a little wilder and more interested when the trail dips down near the river. The last up and down is the hardest and biggest. Were I to repeat this hike, I'd probably camp halfway to the springs and dayhike the rest, as there really was no point in camping right by the hotsprings, other campsites along the way are just as nice. Also, the stream crossing at the end, just before camp, was fast, hip deep, and cold when we were there, so not recommended for novices or folks with heavy packs. There were also a surprising number of hikers "squatting" the best hot pools (which were smaller than I expected) so it was hard to enjoy the lesser pools that were open. Nobody wanted to share and they were surprisingly unfriendly given the location. We met lots of interesting, fun people on the trail though, including a tribe of dauntless "shoeless" hikers., some poor guy who had lost his girlfriend a couple of days ago (ulp!), a fellow who was hiking all the way back to Big Sur to dump trash and resupply (no water or food on him!), and a couple adorable bands of hippies with facepaint, John Fleuvog shoes (!!) and doggies. Lots of poison oak and purple irises too. Hiking out was almost as toilsome as the hike in. The trail was really nice, but I made a mistake. This was my first trip and I carried all my camera equipment up there! Up there I noticed that we will have only an hour sunshine and I did not find any extra subjects for photography. I took some pictures of birds (Lot of birds up there!) but I only used one lens and I carried seven! The hot spings are amazing, they are kept in pretty good condition by the hikers. The only bad thing is all the dogs up there. they been barking all day, at each other, at passing hikers, maybe at birds too.
