The subject of this book was all different types of business law that is used in everyday society. This included bankruptcy, landlord-tenant laws, and contracts. The book was a great resource!
I honestly wouldn't change anything about this book. It was very helpful to me. I learned a lot more than what the class taught because of the book. I loved this book, it was very interesting, and the case studies helped out a lot.read more
I don't think it is anything that I could think of to add to this book because I found it beneficial without adding anything to it.
I learned about the policy and the requirements that are crucial about owning a business. There are many laws that we must take in consideration and we must be able to follow regulations for our employees. I also learned how much work a business takes and if it is not done right your investment may be lost. My class was a breeze thanks to this book and it was so easy to read!read more
everything was helpful! :) I don't believe there was anything about this book that was not helpful!

Just made these with my kids. They loved them.
Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004), July/August 2012
EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.
173 Reviews for Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
I substituted 1/2 cup canola with 1/2 cup banana and added a generous spoonful of natural peanut butter and some pecans. Yummy!
tried ur recipe.turned out great.thx:) stay blessed
Hi i made these today with my kids ;) i substituted the white sugar with honey which made the mixture custard like and super sweet. We achieved the chewy texture by grinding the oats into a flour and adding the honey. Next time i will try a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup as my kids dislike the excessive sweetness. The honey was over powering!
These cookies fell apart and were hard to scrape off the sheet, even after generous greasing.

Former Buffalo Bills defensive end Chris Kelsay, who retired earlier this offseason, will make the team's second-round pick in the NFL Draft tonight at Radio City Music Hall.
The NFL is having 32 notable alumni make the announcement of their former team's second- or third-round picks (for those teams without second rounders), a tradition the league started two seasons ago. Former Bills receiver Andre Reed made the announcement of Texas cornerback Aaron Williams in 2011, while Phil Hansen announced Cordy Glenn's selection in 2012.
A second-round pick out of Nebraska in 2003, Kelsay was a three-time Bills defensive captain during his 10 seasons. He became a starter in his second season, and from 2005 through 2011 started all 105 games in which he played. He recorded 32.5 sacks, ranking ninth in team history.

Jonti-Craft has always been committed to employing the highest quality construction techniques available. Historically, that has been their popular dado construction. After years of research, they also innovated a dowel pinning construction technique that launched a new generation of Jonti-Craft quality products. Jonti-Craft products are KYDZStrong, always built from the strongest materials available. Their Rainbow Accents furniture is constructed of 5/8" thermo-fused melamine board - the highest quality in existence. All Birch furniture is constructed of eleven ply 5/8" Baltic Birch plywood. Items requiring solid wood are constructed of Northern Hard Maple, which is stronger than oak. Their trademark safety features include famous KYDZ Hinges, full length piano hinges attached with a minimum of nine screws, each the strongest and safest hinges available. They feature a 270° pivot, making it difficult to separate them from the unit. Ultimately, this minimizes the chance of pinching little fingers. Their popular rounded KYDZSafe edges and corners provide maximum safety for children in busy classrooms and daycare centers. In their Rainbow Accents line, the KYDZSafe edges are highlighted in vibrant color with a flexible edge-band thermo-fused to the furniture for exceptional durability and safety.

I need to get my hands on the best red velvet cake made in the Los Angeles metropolitan area for my girlfriend's birthday in a few weeks. I want it to be the most amazing thing she's ever tasted and be enough to feed 6 people. Thanks x 1 million!!!
Bluebird Cafe in Culver City: http://www.bluebirdcafela.com/
I've tried most of their cakes, and they are all absolutely delicious! The Red Velvet is a standout and they are "famous" for it. Moist, light, perfect cream cheese frosting. If you have time to do a taste test, they make red velvet cupcakes.
Doughboys on 3rd has a pretty amazing red velvet cake. Not sure if they sell an entire cake though - check it out.
re: mrpullings
re: FOODCORE
re: slacker
Actually, I think it's calling out to *me*, since my girlfriend's birthday is ALSO in a few weeks, and I pretty much never leave Culver City anymore....It's WAY too much effort for me to schlep up to Third Street these days (and I can't deal with that "scene" anymore....)
Thanks for the Bluebird tip :)
re: Neely_Ohara
I can't deal with pretty much the whole westside. :) It's not possible to just pop in anywhere because it would require circling for an hour looking for a parking space and by that time I feel so harrassed I don't feel like popping in anywhere anymore. Culver City, however, is a great little town.
And big fat food grosses me out, so by definition Doughboys grosses me out.
re: FOODCORE
re: mrpullings
I had a slice of red velvet cake at Toast. Since it was a slice of cake, they probably have a whole cake that you could buy.
Toast's red velvet is delicious. The cream cheese frosting is generously applied on the outside and between the two layers of chocolate cake. The cake itself is moist and tender. I found Doughboy's cake to be strangely crumbly.
Toast Bakery Cafe
8221 W Third St (Cross Street: Harper Avenue)
Los Angeles, CA 90048-4302
After reading this thread last night I started craving Doughboy's so I took my son there for brunch this morning. I brought a slice of the red velvet cake home to try it (never had it before) and
Oh. My. God.
Granted I have nothing to compare it to but I'd have to say that this is one of the best desserts ever, esp. if you're a chocolate cupcake fan (that's what it tastes like to me.)
I saw a woman walk out with a whole red velvet cake, btw.
I've had various Red Velvets from Sprinkles, Doughboys, Bluebird Bakery, and Auntie Em's. Though they have all been good the best I've ever, ever, EVER had was one that I made from a recipe from this famous NY Baker called Cakeman Raven. I think you can google him and find his website which has the recipe. He makes if with oil instead of butter which makes it moist and amazing! If you can't make it your self, i recommend Sprinkles for Cupcakes and Auntie Em's, they may have whole Red Velvet Cakes I think.
re: JadeKP
Cakeman Raven's recipe on his site is not the exact same as what he sells at the bakery in Brooklyn. It's a close approximation, but if you want to achieve his level of awesomeness, it may take some good old trial and error experimentation until you get it right. http://www.cakemanraven.com/
You could also do a red velvet cupcake tasting menu, starting with Sprinkles and Toast. Those are the only two I can recommend, but if you gave your girlfriend and friends a selection, it could make for a fun -- and totally decadent -- taste test.
If you can make a short trip to Long Beach the best most moist red velvet with sinful cream cheese frosting is at Bake & Broil on Atlantic.
I wanted to follow-up and thank everyone for the multitude of suggestions. Also, I stand corrected as Doughboys DOES offer a whole cake ($35). And that's what I wound up getting. My girlfriend loved it!!! In any case, I now have the list of the red velvet cake suggestions in my car so if I'm near any of them, I can make a quick stop.
I'm partial to the frosting at Toast but the cake at Doughboys. It all depends on how long the cake has been sitting out and thr turnover at Doughboys is pretty good, although haven't tried it at the newly re-opened. Buttercake also makes a tremendous version of a red velvet cake. All of these are very good choices in my opinion.
My co-worker swears by Jamaica's on Pico in WLA. Anybody ever have this and how does it compare to some of the other suggestions?
re: js76wisco
re: mollyomormon
re: mollyomormon
re: mollyomormon
Too bad I might still give it a try since it's close to home. Although not necessarily a cake I would also give Cake Monkey a try. It's not a traditinal red velvet cake but they make a sinfully addicting red velvet ding dong. It was absolutely delicious. I know they make a single size serving of the ding dong in cake form but I've never tried it.
Gourmet To Go on Sepulveda and Magnolia in Sherman Oaks. Best Red Velvet Cake I've ever had. Cream cheese frosting and the cake is super moist!
I am new to the board and I know that this is an old discussion. I, too, did not understand the excitement of the red velvet cake that is until I tried the one made by the 27th Street Bakery on Crenshaw Blvd. Just south od MLK blvd. One tast and I got it. Also the best home made style pecan pie in LA
27th Street Bakery
2700 S Central Ave, Los Angeles, CA
I've never met a Red Velvet Cake I didn't like (well, maybe Ralph's). OTOH, my wife is quite the opposite: VERY finicky and not wild about most Red Velvet cakes. However we both agree that Costco's is one of the best tasting we've had. Plus (as I've just found out), they WILL personalize their Red Velvet cakes. Otherwise I think Auntie Em's in Eagle Rock is the other way to go.
Although hopefully you're still not looking for a cake after 4 years.

Eco-challenge #2: I'm on a roll
10.19.09 Eco-challenge #2: I'm on a roll
Week two of the MightyNest Eco-challenge is over and I'm happy to say…I'm on a roll!
Doing away with disposable water bottles this week was a whole lot easier than I thought it would be. Sure, I had a few oops moments (which I'll get to in a sec) but I didn't buy one single water bottle! This is a vast improvement from my normal 10-12 bottles per week. Given Americans throw away more than 60 million plastic water bottles every day – one dozen less from one family in one week is a pretty good start.
Now that I've given myself a big pat on the back – I'll tell you where I went wrong. Unfortunately, both of my boys are sick and have been up all night long coughing and wheezing. (no, it's not the swine flu but if I had a dime…) Twice last week at around 4:30am-ish, my 2-year old little sicky woke up in a violent coughing fit and both times the only thing in the vicinity was a disposable water bottle. Yes, I let him drink and no, I don't feel the least bit bad about that. Frankly, I would have let the kid drink out of a muddy river if it would have made it all better.
Other than those two minor blips, we stayed on course. And the best part is I can honestly say I didn't miss my little precious disposables one bit. In fact, it was refreshing to not see them littered all over the house.
Here are a few other things I learned this week…
BPA isn't always the culprit: Turns out disposable plastic water bottles DO NOT contain BPA afterall. (see – I AM eco-challenged!) BUT that doesn't mean they're good for you. There are other chemicals present in disposable water bottles that can leach into your water.
In hot water – Heat accelerates the leaching process making it a no-no to wash/re-use use disposables or drink from one that has been in a hot car all day. This was an eye-opener for me because I do both of these things all the time…or used to.
Stick with stainless: Even re-usable water bottles can pose problems as some plastic and aluminum bottles have been proven to contain BPA. At the end of the day, your best bet is to stick with stainless steel. Can't go wrong.
Speaking of... I highly recommend the Klean Kanteen 18 oz sport top – my trusty companion for this week's challenge. Solid but not too heavy. Easy to carry in my purse or backpack.
So...is this a change I can realistically incorporate into my daily life?
MightyNest Eco-challenge Reality Check Rating:
5 stars: SOLD! Where do I sign?
4 stars: Love it. I think I can pull this one off.
3 stars: Not quite sure, but can't wait to try.
2 stars: Probably not gonna happen.
1 star: I'll pass.
Be sure to check back later today for the announcement of MightyNest Eco-challenge #3!

Polenta Recipes
Polenta, Angelo e Demone
Most People Think Of Pasta As The Quintessential Italian Dish, and this is true for much of the Peninsula, especially the south. Polenta, on the other hand, was the staple food of the poor in the North, especially those living out in the country. And it's still a staple today, North Italians still eat it today, because it' very tasty, extremely...
How to Make Polenta: The Video
Rachel Edelman adds a couple of steps I hadn't thought of to making polenta -- she moistens the cornmeal, to reduce the formation of lumps, and turns it out into a bowl to shape it before serving it. The results will be good.
Cheesy Polenta Mushroom Casserole - Polenta Con Fontina e Funghi
Polenta and cheese are a wonderful combination, and if you work in wild mushrooms, the resulting polenta casserole becomes downright heavenly. I wouldn't do this with champignons, because they aren't flavorful enough. Rather a mixture of mushrooms, for example chanterelles, cremini, and portabella mushrooms.
Puré di Fave, Fava Bean Puree
Dried Fava beans are a winter staple in Puglia. In the past, plain fava bean puree would have been the simplest of peasant foods. Now, it will be a pleasant frugal first course, and could also work as a side dish with a stew.
Polenta and Black Leaf Kale - Polenta e Cavolo Nero
Though Italians generally associate cavolo nero with Tuscany, it's grown throughout the land, and this recipe is from the Valle d'Aosta. It's generally served as a one-course meal.
Savoy Cabbage and Sausages - Verze e Luganega
Savoy Cabbage with Sausages, or Verze e Luganega, is a classic north Italian winter dish, and though one might class it as a vegetable, it is actually a superb accompaniment to polenta. You'll find variations on this dish throughout the north; this particular interpretation is from the Veneto. Regular mild link sausages will work fine if you don't have Luganega sausage.
Polenta and Herring -- Polenta e Scopeton
Polenta and Herring, or Polenta e Scopeton: Polenta with a little fish was one of the mainstays of the diet of the poor in northern Italy; I have talked to Piemontesi who remember their parents hanging a salted anchovy over the table when they were little, and using it to season firm polenta by rubbing the slices against the anchovy. Gently, to make the anchovy last for more than one meal. In the Vicentino, on the other hand, they used salted or smoked herring, and chopped it up.
The pasta of the North and then some, it's amazingly versatile, and perfect for important occasions or every day meals.
Classic Ligurian frugal peasant food, a polenta made from chickpea flour that will make a satisfying, simple meal.
A Gibraltarian variation on Panissa that was likely brought by Ligurian sailors.
Sea Scallops and Mushrooms over Polenta
A tasty recipe from Sturat Borken.
Polenta Ring with Tiny Octopus Recipe - Anello di Polenta con Moscardini
White polenta is delicately flavored and thus a perfect foil for fish. In this case tasty stewed Moscardini, a smaller kind of octopus.
Polenta alla Sarda
A hearty, rustic Sardinian polenta dishe with cheese and tomato sauce; combined with a tossed salad it will be a perfect meal.
Gnocchi di Polenta con Parmignao, Burro e Prosciutto
These are a refreshing change from regular gnocci, and will be an excellent wintery first course, or go well with a roast.
Frittelle di Polenta alla Lodigiana
Tasty polenta fritters filled with prosciutto and cheese. The perfect tidbit!
Polenta Pasticciata alla Tirolese
A zesty baked polenta with anchovies that's very refreshing in summer.
Polenta Pasticciata alla Lombarda
A rich baked polenta with cheese that will help keep the chill of winter at bay.
Polenta Pasticciata con le Salsicce
Baked polenta with sausages, a tasty alternative for a quick luncheon, or a simple dinner.
Polenta Pastizada Trionfo Friulana
An extraordinarily rich baked polenta, a perfect centerpiece for a festive meal.
Polenta Pasticciata alla Milanese
A rich, elegant baked polenta dish with meat and mushrooms to keep winter at bay.
Bue Brasato con Gnocchi di Polenta
Elegant braised beef with polenta as a side dish.
Polenta Col Sugo di Coniglio
Polenta with stewed rabbit, an extremely tasty one-course meal.
Cinghiale fra Due Fuochi
Wild boar (or other game) marinated and stewed with the marinade, will work beautifully with polenta.
Pasticcio di Polenta e Gorgonzola
A hearty polenta dish that's perfect in winter.
Polenta alla Viandese
Polenta, seasoned with lemon zest, sugar, and fried: a traditional snack or breakfast in Mantova.
Polenta coi Fasoi
Polenta with beans, a tasty antipasto, or a nice accompaniment to a roast or stew.
Polenta e Osei Scappati
Polenta and the birds that got away -- a stew for when the hunters come up empty.
Polentone con Lumache
Snails and polenta, rustic fare for a Friday meal up in the mountains where there wasn't any fish. And instructions on preparing snails.
Ossa dei Morti
In parts of the Veneto region these cookies are made with a polenta-based dough.
Broccoli Rabe Polenta Lasagna
Thinly layered polenta with a hearty mix of veggies between the layers. Looks quite nice, from Ditty's Sunday Supper.
Torta Tricolore di Polenta alla Friulana
Simms Brannon's presentation of a dish "suitable for vegetarians but hearty enough for the biggest eaters." A a masterpiece of a dish, delightfully described.
Polenta and Black Leaf Kale Recipe - Polenta e Cavolo Nero
Though Italians generally associate cavolo nero with Tuscany, it's grown throughout the land, and this recipe is from the Valle d'Aosta. It's generally served as a one-course meal.

Here we are, the big Christmas "crunch" week. If you are like many last minute holiday shoppers, you have a lot to do, many to buy for and a very limited budget.

Just go to Big Lots. You can spend $10 or less on each gift featured this week and do all that shopping in one place.

McALESTER — McAlester sophomore Dexter Brown finished strong at the 5A state golf tournament, shooting an 84 across the final 18 holes Tuesday at the Tulsa Country Club. Had he shot an 84 three times, he would've finished in the top 50 among all golfers at the tournament, and the top eight among golfers from non-qualifying schools.
Instead, Brown shot a 91 for the first 18 holes and a 92 for the second 18 Monday, finishing with a total of 267. He finished 13th among golfers from non-qualifiers, and 59th out of 76 overall.
"He got a little confidence out of it, especially in the back nine (holes)," Buffs golf coach Chris Zike said of Brown's final 18.
Brown went to State with the Buffs last season, but this season could only qualify as an individual, shooting a 172 on April 29 at Shawnee. With seniors Drew House and Dexter's older brother Addison Brown both graduating, Zike said he expects even greater contributions from Dexter next season.

Oh Apple, where have you gone?
You were inspiring. Then you were clever. Then you were cheeky. Then you were cool. Now you're... um... what exactly?
And what is exactly wrong with this TDE? How would you sell a phone purely on color?
Agree with the comment above.
And "where have you gone?" Really?
Actually like this a lot stylistically. They are trying to be sexy in a motion graphic manner. The process for this style of animation is intensely difficult. Pure and simple, its a technical spot showcasing the new metal and the fingerprint device.
SImple, to the point and beautiful to look at.
Quite refreshing to see something like this from Apple. It's execution is A+ and mesmerizing. Look forward to seeing more visual brand tidbits, like this, from Apple.
A step in a new direction will always be questioned...
I actually noticed this spot at my local bar the other day and it caught my attention right away, I was very impressed by the visuals. TDE likes to hate just as much as the commenters now it seems? lol
Agree with all above. Great fluid sims and technical artistry. Now, lets all just all calm down and get back to work criticizing the Colorado logo, K?
i like turtles
in the past apple has always let the simple genuine beauty of their designs to do the talking. they left it up to the other guys to dress up their products with the sci-fi treatment. with this they've lowered themselves by using that crutch.
that's why this feels like a step down to me.
I can't believe so many people are critiquing this on the "fluid sims" and technical crap.
There's no idea here. None.
Apple used to stand for "Think Different" or even "We're not a PC." This is just empty calories - something ANY brand could do.
Yeah empty calories like this....
this ad is dope. I don't know who changes hands at tde but the writing on the posts has been really fucking trite.
Anyone want to try to explain what the CONCEPT of this ad is?
Don't hurt your brains thinking too hard.
Does it make someone want one? By initial sell numbers I'd say it's done it's job just fine with or without the concept king's idea of a concept.
Why in the world does a concept always need to be present in communication?
Whoops - meant: ^^ -facepalm-

Best friends Kaaren Johanson and John Foley, two links in the first-ever 16-person kidney donation chain last month at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, said the experience has changed their lives.
And not just because Johanson now has a functioning kidney and Foley is minus one of his.
Now home and recovering well, Johanson and Foley have embarked on a broader mission to spread the word about kidney donation -- particularly among willing pairs like themselves whose organs didn't match well enough for the one-to-one swap they originally envisioned.
"I can't help but think of how many other people are out there who want to make this happen," Johanson said.
And they may be able to. Based on successes such as those at Hopkins, the United Network for Organ Sharing has announced it is beginning a national donor chain program that will initially involve swaps among two- and three-donor pairs.
Elizabeth Sleeman, a policy analyst and liaison to the kidney paired donation work group at UNOS, said the organization hopes to enlist four or five groups of hospitals this summer to help launch the program and begin doing small transplant chains before the end of the year.
By the start of 2011, she said, all hospitals that do kidney transplants as part of UNOS will be able to access the organization's national database to mix and match pairs and create their own donor chains.
"It's certainly an exciting development," Sleeman said, noting that such swaps have the potential to provide an additional 1,000 to 2,000 transplants a year.
Last year, 16,517 people got kidney transplants. But there are 80,149 people in the United States on the kidney donation waiting list, including 2,487 in North Carolina, according to UNOS.
Many of those people have a loved one who is willing to donate a kidney to them but who has incompatible blood or tissue to make a successful transplant.
It's the same situation that Johanson and Foley faced. The two met at the DaVita Dialysis center in Durham where Foley, 52, worked as a technician and Johanson, 46, was his patient. Fast friends, he decided to give her one of his kidneys, but tests showed they were no match.
"I didn't take no for an answer," Foley said.
Instead, the duo discovered the program at Hopkins, where doctors had begun shuffling donor pairs in their database to structure increasingly large and complex transplant chains. Johanson didn't match Foley, but she matched a donor in Detroit. Foley was paired to a recipient in Oklahoma City.
Originally slated to include 12 people, the chain was expanded to involve a total of 16. The marathon string of transplants and organ harvests began June 15 and finished July 6. Foley and Johanson were among the largest group who had operations June 22.
After recovering for several days, Foley returned to his home in Raleigh the following Saturday. He said he has lingering fatigue but otherwise feels well.
Johanson had complications stemming from earlier surgeries -- she now has five kidneys in her abdomen, including her own two that type 1 diabetes ruined, and two previous donations that eventually petered out.
As a result, she spent eight days in the hospital. She's now back in Durham and says she has much more energy with her new kidney.
Johanson says she's eager to put her new kidney to good use, working with Foley to make paired transplants widely available.
"What I have received from this experience far outweighs what I gave," Foley said. "I think this whole thing is just a miracle."

Smoking Kills (The Horrorist-Electrofied Mix) – Millimetric by thingstocome
Here's a clip of a remix I just finished for Millimetric. I played it live in Stuttgart and it past the club test so it's in his inbox. From a production standpoint your hearing Vermona DRM-1 drums through Izotope Trash, white noise crashes from a Yamaha CS5, the 90′s T99 or 80′s Vomito Negro sample is in an Ableton Simpler going through various Sugar Bytes Effectrix presets. My vocals are through a Shure KSM32 and Wavearts plug-ins.

Councillors in charge of the housing sector at Bath and North East Somerset Council are warning landlords with properties in the area to literally put their homes in order or risk massive fines.
The council are reminding landlords that their obligations do not stop at finding a tenant, covering a property with property insurance and collecting the rent. After two successful prosecutions in the last few weeks they are urging the few rogue landlords left in the area to make sure they are compliant with rules and regulations demanded by the authorities.
The council are particularly concerned about the safety aspects of Homes of Multiple Occupation (HMOs). The inhabitants of HMOs are ten times more likely to suffer injury from fire than conventional tenants and the councillors in Bath have recently successfully prosecuted one such landlord for being in breach of fire safety regulations and another for poor electrical installations.
Graham Sabourne, a councillor in the housing sector, said "We have worked with both landlords over a long period of time to get their properties compliant with nationally recognised standards. Unfortunately, they have failed to comply and following this successful prosecution hit hard in their wallets. Inaction on the part of landlords could lead to something much worse – putting the lives of tenants in danger."
Bath and North East Somerset Council are just one of hundreds of councils in England and Wales that insist on landlords meeting certain criteria with all of their properties, they offer full expert advice to residential landlords looking for help and stress that it is only a small minority of landlords who they have concerns about.

從相框裝飾的牆壁,以異國情調的花卉和植物,籠罩著這個華麗的230英畝的土地, the AAA Four Diamond Rosen Shingle Creek is a vibrant showcase for the flora and fauna that make Florida a wonderland of natural beauty.
"One of the highlights of the hotel really is the environment that surrounds us," Leslie Menichini explained. "先生. Rosen's vision, from the first time he saw the property, was to pay homage to the beauty of the state."
Orlando's newest and grandest full-service convention and vacation hotel emphasizes the magnificence of the environment. With the pristine waters of Shingle Creek—佛羅里達州大沼澤地的源頭—as its centerpiece, the land surrounding the hotel is flourishing with lush native plant life, wildlife and vivid beauty. As guests of Rosen Shingle Creek stroll along the grounds, they are immersed in an exotic environment unrivaled by any other Orlando hotel. Blooming tropical flowers, such as the Michiko Dracaenas, Lady Palms and Marginatas, provide bursts of color all along the way. Native foliage such as Adonidia, Bamboo and Pigmy Date Palms—plants that have thrived in Florida's tropical climate for ages—are focal points of the landscaping. Adding to the natural splendor, the indigenous Weeping Yaupon can also be found throughout the grounds, while canopies of Southern Live Oaks provide a majestic aspect to the landscaping and are a visual treat.
在羅森距溪, the celebration of nature doesn't end outdoors. 其實, every room on the property showcases Shingle Creek's enchanting environment. Guest rooms are decorated with original framed photographs reproduced in canvas giclee, that depict the meadows, 瓦河區流花. 這些令人驚嘆的圖像, 捕捉廣泛的物種,包括粉紅鳶尾花, 皇冠荊棘和空氣植物, 被抓獲由Garritt圖希, the Vice President of Rosen Hotels & 度假村.
Toohey first took up photography as a hobby in 2002, snapping his first shot with a Sony Mavica 2.1. He has since established himself as a celebrated amateur photographer whose work has been exhibited throughout Central Florida. Toohey especially enjoys shooting close-ups of flora in its natural setting whenever he has free time. His works, besides adorning the walls of Rosen Shingle Creek's guestrooms, are also hung in common areas throughout the hotel.
When asked about his unique contributions to Rosen Shingle Creek, Toohey says, "This is a very special hotel, and I am simply honored that the team wanted to display my photographs. It's amazing and flattering to see them hung throughout the hotel."
Another aspect of the hotel that has benefited from Toohey's creative talents is the kitchen. Rosen Shingle Creek's Chef Jorge has adopted a recipe by Toohey as the hotel's house dressing. Toohey's original homemade salad dressing was created from a recipe he concocted 15 years ago.
Throughout the rest of the hotel, harmony with the natural environment is the primary influencing factor. Florida's natural beauty is inherent in so many details, from the design and architecture to the artwork, even to the diverse recreational activities, which include fishing, 自然教育徑, 和, 當然, the David Harman designed, 7,228-yard championship golf course, which offers players incomparable views of this stunning area.
"I encouraged every member of our team, from the architects to the interior designers to the director of operations to find inspiration in the surrounding beauty,哈里斯說:"羅森, Founder and President of the award-winning Rosen Hotels & 度假村. "And truly, they exceeded my expectations."

Michele: When the RPG R&D team leads first started talking about the Dungeon Master's Guide 2 outline, we knew we wanted to include a sample city, much like Fallcrest in the first Dungeon Master's Guide. Sigil had been mentioned before as an option, and it was Mike Mearls who officially championed the idea when it came down to the decision. I provided an enthusiastic "seconded!", and the motion passed without much further debate. We'd already established Sigil as having a place in the 4th Edition cosmology (I remember needling James Wyatt for a paragraph to make sure it was mentioned in the first DMG), so presenting the city as a paragon-tier "home base" was a natural next step.
Bill: I volunteered to take on the 47-page section that was devoted to paragon campaigns and the City of Doors. I had some past experience with the Planescape setting, and I was always a big fan of Sigil in particular. Michele pulled together a bunch of research material and helped me outline the section, then I started writing.

The Daily Star
---- — The Cooperstown Village Board of Trustees unanimously approved two changes to the village charter at its February meeting on Feb. 25*.
Local Law No. 3 will amend the charter to allow paid parking on Pioneer Street from the northern boundary of the business district to Stagecoach Lane. The northern boundary of the business district is considered to extend to just past Tillapaugh Funeral Service at 28 Pioneer St. The previous plan for paid parking had it ending at Stagecoach Lane.
Local Law No. 4 amends street and sidewalk regulations to raise the fine for not removing snow and ice from sidewalks. Residents have 24 hours after a storm to remove snow and ice from sidewalks. In addition, businesses must keep sidewalks free of snow and ice from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The new law raises the fine to "not more than $250" as the previous fine of up to $100 was deemed too low. At the board's January meeting, several members expressed concern that the fine was so low that some residents were viewing it as a good price for snow removal services and therefore abusing village resources.
The amendment also lowers the amount of snowfall needed to ban public parking on all village streets from 6 inches to 2.5 inches.
Both new laws had public hearings Feb. 25; however, no residents commented on them.
The board also set four public hearings for its meeting March 25:
• To amend the village charter to allow the zoning board to require neighbor notification for all structural changes to a house or property.
• To consider six zoning law changes recommended by the Economic Sustainability Committee.
• To consider changing or rescinding the recently placed two-hour parking limit on the north side of South Street.
• To adopt a law, similar to the one adopted last year, to allow the village to exceed the state's 2 percent tax cap.
"That doesn't mean we are going to raise taxes," Mayor Jeff Katz said. "It just protects us in case we goof on the budget."
In other actions, the board voted unanimously to allow the fire department to put up pinwheels in April for Child Abuse Prevention Month and to celebrate Red Cross Month in March with a flag raising to be held with members of the Mohawk Valley American Red Cross. The date for the flag raising will be announced later.
Trustee Cynthia Falk, chairwoman of the Streets and Buildings Committee, told the board that four bids for paid parking machines were received, and meetings have been set with the two vendors who submitted the lowest bids. It is possible that the board will call a special meeting for Wednesday to select a bid winner in time to have the system in place for the tourist season, village clerk Teri Barown said.
Bids were taken for machines that take coins and credit cards, and machines that take coins, credit cards and bills. However, Falk said that while doing research, her committee learned that the machines that take bills have caused a large number of complaints because of mechanical problems.
Hectronic's bids were for $6,695 per machine that took just coins and credit cards and $9,800 for machines that also took dollars. ATI's bids were $6,680 and $9,533 per machine respectively. Since the bid prices were nearly equal, Falk said she wanted the board members to be able to see the machines so that they could make a decision based on usability factors.
The board also delayed action on a proposal to change zoning laws on tourist accommodations. The zoning board is considering proposals to limit tourist accommodations based on street frontage and lot size.
*Editor's note: This story was changed at 10:45 a.m. March 5 to reflect the correct date of the meeting.

PikeView boys soccer coach Bill Hopkins had a feeling whoever scored first in the Class AA-A state championship game with East Fairmont would win.
"I was afraid to watch the clock," he said. "You knew somebody was going to squeeze one through, and that would be it."
Fortunately for Hopkins, his Panthers did exactly that.
Isaac Van Blaricom banged in a header in the 64th minute to give PikeView a 1-0 victory over East Fairmont in the Class AA-A state championship game Saturday at the YMCA's Carter Family Foundation Stadium.
Bees keeper Brett Metheny had made a superb save of an earlier Van Blaricom shot.
But this time Metheny was helpless as Van Blaricom was left wide open in the middle of the box.
"I saw Vaughn making a run down the sideline, and for some reason, I wasn't marked at all," Van Blaricom said. "He played the ball across and (the shot) felt good.
"Their keeper is phenomenal. I'm glad he didn't get that one.
"This has been my dream since I was a little kid."
Fourth-ranked PikeView (20-4-1) was making its first appearance in a state championship game, and was coming off a 2-0 win over No. 8 Robert C. Byrd Friday night.
No. 3 East Fairmont (16-5-3) had beaten four-time defending champion Charleston Catholic 1-0 in two overtimes in the other semifinal.
"We hoped they would be dead tired, but they didn't show it," Hopkins said. "You're on adrenaline all the time. It's all on heart here. There's no tomorrow. You leave it on the field."
It was rough — both teams were called for 13 fouls — but it was a well-played game. The Bees had used their physical play to their advantage in the win over No. 1 Charleston Catholic, but were now faced with a team that was just as physical.
Coach Fred Roman acknowledged that the semifinal game had taken its toll on the Bees.
"I'm not using it as an excuse, but everybody saw a beat-up team limping around the field," Roman said. "They gave it their all."
Playmaker Colin Harvath, a talented sophomore who ran the show at midfield, agreed with his coach.
"I was a little beat up, but I still had momentum," Harvath said.
Both teams had chances. Metheny made a diving save to stop Van Blaricom about 15 minutes into the contest.
His opposite number, Austin Cordell, rose to the occasion later in the half to snare a James Bolander direct kick that had "goal" written all over it.
Each team also had several shots to bounce off the posts or the crossbar.
Cordell finished with four keeper saves. Ironically, he almost didn't come out for soccer this year.
"I didn't want to play, but I knew I'd regret it," he said. "They talked me into playing. Thank God I played."
Cordell avoided a late 1-on-1 confrontation with a driving Harvath when Campbell, who played both defender and wing, raced in to stab the ball away.
"It was a well-played game between two very physical teams," Roman said. "The ref told us before the game there would be a winner and a loser. I think he was wrong. Both teams were winners today.
"You saw two great teams worthy of a state championship game."

Providence senior Erin Duncan was the recipient of the Class A girls' soccer 2012 Mental Attitude Award. Duncan was selected by members of the Indiana High School Athletic Association executive committee.
"The award means a lot," Duncan said. "It shows that I've worked hard on and off the field."
Duncan was a three-year starter who had six goals and six assists as a senior and helped lead the Pioneers to the Class A state title in 2011. Also a basketball player and track star, Duncan ranks at the top of her class academically.
Duncan — the daughter of Elaine and Jerry Duncan of Sellersburg — is a member of National Honor Society, is a student ambassador, a Eucharistic minister and the president of Spanish Club.
Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance — the IHSAA's corporate sponsor — presented a scholarship check worth $1,000 to Providence High School in Duncan's name on Saturday.

After Fire Department paramedics took a Gloucester man to Beverly Hospital for injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash, police charged him with unlicensed driving and driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle Monday at 6:02 p.m.
According to police, Mark Sholds, 22, of 30 Prospect St., lost control of his motorcycle coming down the hill on Witham Street.
He told police at the scene that his foot was possibly broken. While paramedics tended to his medical needs, however, police found that he had been driving an unregistered dirt bike without a motorcycle license.

The bankers on Merck's pending $41 billion merger with Schering-Plough will get a nice pay day — one for the record books, in fact.
An amended proxy filing shows that the investment banks on the deal will receive more than $100 million in total advisory fees.
Goldman Sachs is set to receive $33.33 million, while Morgan Stanley will get $20 million for advising Schering-Plough, according to the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
J.P. Morgan Chase is in line for a fee of $45 million for advising Merck, the filing said.
A portion of these fees are only payable upon completion of the transaction, so the deal must complete for the banks to receive the total payout.
