|Photograph of Walter Powell and 4 mates from the Mechanised Transport A.S.C.
|Walter Powell is stood (second from right) in his barrack compound in Chester, with his mates, they are playing up for the camera - holding a bottle, a teapot and a broom. From other photos in the collection it is possible to say that the other men in the photo are possibly: David Thomas, Bill Babage, George Stephens, Corporal 'Skip' from Seattle, Canada [sic].
In the diary of Walter's father W.J. Powell it is recorded that he was sent photographs from Wal (Walter) from Chester taken by Private Davies 265537, this may be one of these.
Part of a collection relating to Walter H. Powell, Llandrindod Wells, (private / driver M2-267205 Mechanised Transport Army Service Corps). Born 1898, Walter tried to join up under-age on a number of occasions, finally succeeding in 1916. He served many months - (more than 2 years?) - in different army units in Britain, before going over to France. He served as a despatch rider for an anti-aircraft battery in 1918-1919. Walter was gassed suffering the effects all his life. He was a founder member of Toc-H in Llandrindod, and a keen footballer - he died in 1994 aged 96. However Walter's older brothers (Cliff and Percy Powell) and his uncle (Humphrey Powell) died of wounds sustained during the war.

Seeing as both brands fall under the BMW umbrella, it wasn't really a far-fetched idea to have British luxury automaker, Rolls Royce , and German carmaker, MINI , tie up for a special edition project. The question wasn't so much if these two highly regarded brands could collaborate, but more of when they would do it.
Apparently, that question has finally been answered.
At the Shanghai Auto Show, MINI and Rolls Royce will introduce a limited production Cooper S model called the "MINI Inspired by Goodwood', a direct homage to the latter's base of operations in Goodwood, England.
The car was developed with the help of the Rolls Royce design team and, together with the folks from MINI, they created a car that will be produced in only 1,000 units. The "MINI Inspired by Goodwood" is decked out with the kind of exclusive and luxury amenities that only Rolls Royce can be known for.
It's been a long time in the making, but hey, at the very least we finally get to see the car in full production guise. Let's just all hope that this car won't cost as much as a Ghost or a Phantom .
UPDATE 08/19/2011:: The whispers of Mini sending some of this special edition MINI's 1,000 units over to the US were correct, but we don't have to pay the converted price of $68,000. Nope, official pricing for the Mini GoodWood sits at $52,000, according to reports. This new, lower price still makes the MINI Cooper S "Inspired by Goodwood" the most expensive small premium car. Hey, Rolls Royce inspiration doesn't come cheap, especially considering the Mini Cooper models in the States cost between $19K and $28K, depending on the model. All in all, Mini will be sending 140 units over to our side of the pond. Orders will begin next month and the first deliveries will be made in the second quarter of 2012. (MotoringFile)
More details on the MINI Cooper S "Inspired by Goodwood" by Rolls-Royce after the jump.
True to its nature as one of the world's most luxurious brands, Rolls Royce gave the Cooper S their own stamp of quality, highlighted by bespoke styling cues and trim options.
On the outside, the car has been finished with an exclusive Diamond Black Metallic finish with an alternative – and optional – Reef Blue Metallic finish. You'll notice that the car comes with the standard front and rear apron of the Cooper S, but has been combined with the bonnet from the Cooper D sans the air scoop. In addition, Rolls Royce also installed badges inscribed with the words "Inspired by Goodwood" right below the A-pillar.
Inside, the Rolls Royce design team took to great lengths to ensure that the Cooper S had all the luxury amenities to make it feel like you're riding inside an actual Rolls Royce. The team made use of their own exclusive Rolls Royce colour Cornsilk to dress up the dashboard, the central instrument, the air vents, the center console, carpet surfaces, the Lounge leather seats, the roof lining, and the side and body pillars. Complementing the high-end material on the dashboard and the door handle surfaces are Walnut Burr veneer trims.
Meanwhile, black nappa leather was used on the dashboard top with the door linings coming in leather Cornsilk. Also, the car's buttons have been finished in a Piano Black surface, the roof lining in Cashmere, and finally, lambswool floor mats.
The special edition MINI Cooper S will be powered by a 1.6-liter twin-scroll turbocharged engine pumping out 184 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of peak torque. These numbers translate to a 0-62 mph time of seven seconds with a fuel consumption average of 40.6 mpg.
This special edition Mini is actually the most expensive small premium car to date with a price tag of 46,900 Euro, or $52,000 in the United States. All in all, Mini will be sending 140 units of the 1,000 units available over to our side of the pond. Orders will begin next month and the first deliveries will be made in the second quarter of 2012.
We haven't seen a tie-up of this caliber in a long time so pin-pointing a direct competition for this special edition MINI Cooper S is easier said than done. Having said that, luxury hatchbacks don't come too often so if we were to compare this Cooper to something, we're going to stick it up against the Fiat 500 Fenice Milano La Dolce Vita Gold and Diamonds .
Let's just all hope that the Cooper S "Inspired by Goodwood" model won't cost as much as the $660,000 price tag attached to the Fenice Milano Fiat 500.
- Rolls Royce-dressed interior
- Special edition model
- Would be nice to drive a 'cheap' Rolls Royce
- Not a lot of exterior upgrades
- No powertrain modifications
- Probably will cost more than we think

Angel Governing March 16th to 20th
Angel number 72 - ANGEL MUMIAH - Energy: REBIRTH
(I pronounce the Angel's Name MUM-EE-AH)
Qualities: Sows the seed of a new life - Announces the end of a cycle and beginning of a new one - Brings to an end, helps terminate what one has begun - Concrete realizations - Concerning medicine, health - Terminal phase containing the seed of renewal (accompanying the dying) - Helps the sick and needy - Renewal, rebirth - Great experience of life.
Distortions: Suicide, unconscious death - Despair, dead end, roadblock - Repudiates one's own existence - Rebellion against cosmic laws - Bad health - Loss (job, partner, friends, etc.) - Collapse, ruin.
I would like to share with you the following.
Standing, sitting or lying down, breathe in the name MUMIAH by inhaling through the nose, and hold your breath a few seconds. Then, exhale slowly and progressively through the nose. Repeat the exercise as long as needed to create a state of calm. Then you can continue by breathing freely while continuing to invoke MUMIAH keeping the eyes closed.
By invoking or repeating the Sacred Formula represented by the Angel's name, we create a passage between the conscious, the subconscious and the different layers of the unconscious, thus reprogramming the different Angelic states of consciousness within, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with our celestial origin. The objective of this work is to purify our soul and become totally conscious in order to rediscover the Knowledge that lies within.
MUMIAH is your Angel number 1 (Physical) if your Birthday is March 16th to 20th
MUMIAH is your Angel number 2 (Emotional) if your Birthday is June 2nd, Aug 16th, October 29th, January 8th, March 20th.
MUMIAH is your Angel number 3 (Intellectual) if you are born: 23h40 to 23h59 p.m.

Primary (ages 3 to 6): An Environment Designed for your Child
The three-to-six year old is a very active learner and our environments are designed to give these children the freedom to move and to choose activities based upon their own interests and needs. Materials are carefully chosen to inspire interest and to encourage appreciation of beauty and order. All of the furniture is child-sized and the materials are designed to foster independence. Students are given individual presentations on the materials and are free to choose from a wide choice of activities.
All of these activities the lay the foundation of academic learning to come. The teacher and the assistant closely observe each child's level of readiness for the next lesson and guide his or her through the comprehensive Montessori curriculum. Children also engage in daily group experiences in order to build community and to develop their social skills. Most importantly, children in the primary community develop a love of their school community and a love of learning, finding peaceful joy in their pursuit of knowledge.

Providing motorists with a visual indicator of a cyclist's riding width, it is ideal for increasing the safety margin around a cyclist during pre-dawn or dusk rides. Visible under headlights and streetlights from over a mile away, the 6'-long lane begins mid-cycle at the seat post and extends behind. An additional five red LEDs increase visibility as a standard blinking taillight.

Well worth the Purchase
By Bobby
from Maywood, CA
I use the light every night going home from work. the only flaw I see is that it only mounts to the Seat post. If the mount was adjustable I could mount it to the frame under the seat. I had to remove my U-lock whichs doubles as my rack to put the light on. The bracket for my lock sits in the same spot the Light is in now. It was either have the light for safety at night or the lock. The light won. I just have to figure out where to put the lock. I basically bought the light to have the laser beam lanes. not the light I already have a bright tail light. Thats why if this light had an Adjustable mount I could put it on the frame under the seat and still have use of my lock rack. I have told everyone I know that rides a bicycle about this light and shown them mine. They asked me where to get one, I gave them all a print out of the Lght off the website so they have the Item # and website where to get it. They all want one. My bike is my car I don't drive. besides this light I have a 250 Lumen headlight and a taillight that can be seen from 2 miles away. This laser Beam Lane will be used well. Hopefully if I ever do need to replace it you will still carry it, or an updated verion with the Adjustable Mount.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

VERY bright rear light
By suburban family bikers
from okc
Bought four more (have on five different bikes) after trying out. We use these during early morning cycling in medium traffic (two lane each way, room for cars to use other lane without slowing them down)--The cars respond much better than before we had them. The bike lane light and the rear with it's many configurations adjust to the changing light conditions of early morning, dawn and sunrise. They are also always on during any trip. It came with batteries and is still doing well. So far we have ridden six times of three hours (probably more) each using the different modes. ON full/flash, the light attracts attention even in broad daylight.

Unfortunately I have a shock post on my bike and inspite of multiple baffles, I couldn't get it attached so it woudln't slip. I really liked the idea for nite riding but couldn't use it on my bike.

I had never imagined it but this is a very well thought of product. I will fill safer when riding in the late evenings.

Safety first

Of course it is mounted on my bike. I used it for about three or four weeks then the rear light stopped working. The side line marker still worked. I returned it to Hammacher-Schlemmer and they replaced it at no cost to me. It works great, but I will have to see how long it works next biking season.

Used for bike commuting in dark. A very clever idea.
Could save a life
By Ruth

I bought this for my son, bikes on the road makeme nervous and I considered it an extra safety device. He loves it! He has just about every bike gadget out there but this one is unique, and I have less to fret about.
best for safety

from Tampa, FL
Easy to use and adjust. Bright lane lights can be turned off when not needed, still leaving a bright rear light. This really enhances safety!!
better seen than sorry
from Kansas city
Well it mounts easy and is very visible. I have not used the other phases besides the steady light. I am not sure whether they are legal in Missouri

Three thousand athletes from around the world took the plunge - competing in the 13th annual New York City triathlon.
"I'm just taking it in just being in New York, looking around, it's great," said Therese Christo, Rochester, NY.
The race begins with a swim of just under a mile in the Hudson River. Then, there's a 24.85 mile bike ride along the Henry Hudson parkway. And finally - - a 6.2 mile run through Central Park.
"We're just throwing a 31 mile moving party for 3,000 people we haven't met before! So I'm just the wedding planner. It's a blast," said John Korff, event organizer. "We love seeing people have fun in New York."
Athletes come from 30 different countries and range in age from 18 to 78 years old. Fred Soward from the upper west side is competing for the very first time.
"My wife passed away about two years ago. And it motivated me to just keep on working and to keep on doing this -- so here I am," said Fred Soward, New York City
There are also dozens of Para-triathletes with unique physical challenges. Thomas Lee from Robbinsville, New Jersey is an amputee and this is his first triathlon.
"Being an amputee, I haven't been swimming that much. So the swim for me is the hardest part and the transition. The transition is hard enough for regular athletes, but it's even harder since I have to swap out equipment on my leg."
Also among this year's competitors is Jack Abernethy, the CEO of Fox Television stations competing for the fourth time.
"It feels terrific. It feels great a great day in New York. We got the all-star game on Tuesday a lot happening -- It's a fun time in the summer."
Also competing in the triathlon was Fox 5 Vice President and General Manager Lew Leone, competing in his fifth triathlon.
"It's just a great time. I really enjoy it. I have a smile on my face the whole way around. The crowds are great. It's just an iconic New York event."
After a grueling race it all comes down to this -- the finish line here in Central Park.
"It's a big endorphin release at the finish. So the emotion is satisfaction," said Bill Kelly, Chatham, NJ.
One of the top female finishers, Rebeccah Wassner, crossed the finish line holding her five month old daughter Amy.
"It's something that kept me going the whole time, getting back to racing and getting to cross the finish line of the New York City triathlon with my baby in my hands," said Rebeccah Wassner, New York City.
After the race, it's time for rest, relaxation and plenty of water. But the medal and the feeling of accomplishment make this day extra special.
"It feels like the first time every time. It's wonderful."

Using heavy equipment, FBI investigators tore into the ground near the corner of Buell and Adams Road in Oakland Township on Monday hoping to finally unearth answers in the 1975 disappearance of former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.They are acting on a tip from Tony Zerilli, now 85, the son of the former Detroit mob leader.In his memoir called "The Zerilli Files," he says Hoffa was kidnapped, driven to the northern Oakland County location, bound and gagged and hit over the head with a shovel, then buried alive in a shallow grave."Given the fact that he was the son of the boss of the family at the time this event happened and carried the title of underboss during most of this period of time, he'd be somebody who would have been in a position to know," said Keith Corbett.The former chief of the FBI Organized Crime Strike Force believes this could be the best lead yet.David Chasnick, Zerilli's lawyer, says his client was in prison when Hoffa disappeared and has been bothered by the dark secret for decades. The 85-year-old has talked with the FBI and visited the site. It is rumored Jack Tocco, boss of the Detroit organized crime family, had title to some of the land."There used to be a barn in the field. Buried under the barn under a cement slab, and that's where our understanding is that the body should be," Chasnick said.The attorney said the FBI has confirmed the slab is still there.Over the last decade, several extensive searches around metro Detroit have turned up nothing, including one last September at a home in Roseville and a two week search at a horse farm near Milford in 2006."I just don't think it's for real," said neighbor Sharon McKay. "There's so many other places they've looked and they haven't found him. Why now?""You can't say, well, the chance is one in ten. Well, if you miss that one in ten, what have you done?" Corbett said. "The bureau's been looking for Hoffa for so long that this is a lead they have to pursue.There likely never will be charges, but authorities say they are hoping to provide closure for the Hoffa family.The FBI will remain at the site until dark tonight. If nothing is found, they will return on Tuesday morning.
Aggressive wasps have forced an entire neighborhood in Detroit to come to a standstill.

Fiction books represent the stories within the Star Wars universe, also called the Expanded Universe. The adaptations of the films, the spin off novels for adults and kids all fit within this category. If it deals with the characters from the Star Wars Saga, you'll find it here.
The Novels feature the titles that are most readily available and recognized. These stories produced in both Hardcover and Paperback initially featured just the core characters of Luke and Leia, Han and Chewie or Lando Calrissian.With the advent of the term Expanded Universe and the publication of Heir to the Empire in 1991 many new characters were able to take the spotlight, while some stories only focus on EU characters.

Singing lieutenant's legacy lives on
Beth Sholom award honors employee, resident 'idol'
In his last 12 years of life, Art Heller coped with a debilitating stroke, a move from his lifelong home in New Jersey, and the stress of adjusting to serious health limitations and life in an assisted living facility and new town.
But he didn't simply meet the challenge gracefully, say those who knew him. He excelled at his new life, won over an entire community of residents and employees in his new home, and went on to become an icon of the community who is still revered today.
Although the World War II veteran passed away in 2004 – on Veteran's Day – his name still comes up frequently in conversations at Beth Sholom. From his stellar singing voice to his enthusiasm for baseball and his charismatic personality, Heller continues to live prominently in the memories of his Beth Sholom family.
"The staff at the home absolutely adored him," says Arthur's son, Dan. "He had a personality that was able to engage everyone."
Heller recalls that when family members visited other residents of the home, and their own relatives were not doing well, they would seek out Art Heller to get the lift in spirits they needed.
"They'd stop and see my dad and just spend a few minutes, and then they'd tell me how good it made them feel," says Heller. "He had that uncanny ability."
What's more, Art's legacy lives on in the annual Arthur Heller Employee Recognition Award award, which his grateful family established both as a tribute to Heller and as an appreciative gesture to the staff members who helped make his life so enjoyable in his later years.
Heart of gold
This year's award recipient, Mike Sorenson, has worked at Beth Sholom for 17 years in roles ranging from maintenance to night watchman to his current job as medical supplies coordinator. Deirdre Arnowitz, director of social work at Beth Sholom, says Sorenson is not only a deserving recipient, but one who has much in common with the award's namesake.
"Mike is such a sweet man," says Arnowitz. "He'll do anything for anybody and he's very kind to all the residents."
Arnowitz adds that among the roles Sorenson has assigned himself over the years -- without being asked -- is caretaker of animals at the home.
"He loves cats and birds, and when we had a resident cat, Mike took care of her all the time," says Arnowitz. "He took her to the vet and came back on weekends to feed her. He wanted to make sure the residents had a cat."
When the cat died, Sorenson took care of subsequent pets, including birds. He would make sure the birds were covered at night, and took them to residents to keep overnight. "The residents did better because of his efforts," says Arnowitz.
Arnowitz also points out that when feral cats became a problem outside the residential community, Sorenson found homes for all of them as well. On the job, says Arnowitz, Sorenson is known for his knack for fixing things, and often helps out in the rehabilitation department repairing wheelchairs.
"He just has a heart of gold," says Arnowitz, "and an unassuming manner. He never wants attention for himself and was just flabbergasted to get the award."
'King Arthur'
While Sorenson is reluctant to speak of himself, he lights up with a smile remembering Art Heller, whom he calls a "good man" with a talent for singing and playing the piano.
Arnowitz confirms Heller's talent for entertaining, and cites a list of favorite songs he would sing, including "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling."
"We called him King Arthur," says Arnowitz with a laugh. "He sang for every talent show and sing-along, and everyone followed along. I remember he also sang 'Always' to [his granddaughter] Erin.
"He had the most gorgeous blue eyes. He just melted us."
Dan Heller notes that his father's singing voice was something of a legend, and that he entertained the troops during the 1940s.
"There's a picture of him singing to 10,000 troops in Louisville, Kentucky," says Heller. "They called him 'The Singing Lieutenant.' But he was very modest, and other family members had to tell us about it."
Heller says that after the war, his father apparently auditioned for a singing role, and ended up taking second place. The man he lost out to was Dennis Day, who later went on to fame as Jack Benny's sidekick.
"I tell my children," says Heller, 'If there had been an American Idol in the 1940s, your grandpa would have been in the top ten.'"
'He meant so much'
But it was Art Heller's demeanor, even more than his talent for entertaining, that stands out in the memories of those who knew him.
"He was so appreciative," says Arnowitz, "and so amenable to everyone. Art was just the nicest, kindest, smartest – and he would share about his life. I always assigned social worker interns to him, because he was such a great guy to get to know."
Dan Heller tells the story of an encounter about two years after his father died, when he was in line with his son at a fast food restaurant and noticed a woman staring at him.
Eventually the woman approached him, saying, "You're Mr. Heller's son." She told Dan that she had worked at Beth Sholom years ago, and that in her 25-year career working in nursing homes, his father was the "nicest man I ever met."
"Then," recalls Dan, "she takes out her wallet and shows me his obituary. She looked at me and said, 'He meant so much to me.'"
Hearing that from a professional with that much experience in the field, says Heller, told him that establishing the employee recognition award was clearly the right way to recognize his father.
Since establishing the award (which he discussed with his father before his death), Heller has noticed that the idea seems to generate other ideas for good turns. One day, Heller happened to mention the award while on the golf course, telling his fellow players how it honored not only his father's memory but also the unsung heroes who work at Beth Sholom. One golfer, who had just lost his son in an accident, was moved to donate gift cards to all of the award recipients in his son's memory.
It's also tradition that as part of the annual awards ceremony, previous recipients join the celebration and are given corsages and gift certificates. The current winner, surrounded by residents, staff, and friends of the community, receives a cash award in addition to the recognition.
The ceremony never fails to move Deirdre Arnowitz and members of the Heller family (Dan, wife Nancy, and children Ben and Erin – all of whom have volunteered at the home for years) – or to elicit memories and story-telling about "King Arthur."
"I am so glad he lived here 12 years," says Arnowitz. "We were so lucky to have him."

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

Interstate 516 eastbound has reopened after a tractor trailer carrying camels, ponies, zebras and llamas overturned during rush-hour on Monday. It happened on I-516 under the Veterans Parkway interchange.
The animals were headed to the Universoul Circus. The circus is in Savannah from Nov. 21 through Nov. 25, according to its website.
"Well, the fire department had to come in to help remove some of the barriers that trapped the last two animals. They happened to be camels. They had to use pnuematic cutters to get them free. They're in the process of doing that now. As soon as we have the animals out, then we'll right the trailer and get it out of here," Julian Miller, SCMPD's public information adminstrator told WTOC. Miller said that Southside EMS helped one of the llamas with a cut nose, but they seem to be doing alright. He said animals experienced bumps and bruises.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
We are delighted to introduce the brand new beautifully designed chalet Renard Bleu right in the heart of Les 2 Alpes, close to the popular Venosc Square with its many shops, bars and restaurants. Only the Rebard Bleu and Chalet Loup Blanc can boast of such fantastic accommodation and facilities in such an enviable location.
Guests will appreciate the chalets' close proximity to the skiing and easy access to the resort centre. Just 500m walk across the square to the new Diable 6 seater chairlift (which last year replaced the gondola, fondly known as the 'Red Eggs'). This long but fast lift will whisk skiers up to the Les Crêtes area and beyond. Alternatively take the Super Venosc chairlift, across the square taking you to the Vallée Blanche ski area on the other side of the valley, which is now connected to the main ski area by the Côte blue run and the Petite Aiguille chairlift. The world's fastest gondola, the Jandri Express, which delivers skiers to the glacier in only 7 minutes, is also an option for ski access each day.
The chalet Renard Bleu has been designed to a high specification in a classic alpine style, with attractive facades of exposed stone and warm woods, coupled with fresh open-plan interiors furnished with contemporary flair. The well appointed lounge and dining area of each chalet will include a feature fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating, but the real wow factor lies beyond, through the double French windows which lead to the decked terrace area and the outdoor covered plunge pool. You may be tempted to take a dip at any time, thanks to the pool being both heated and covered in an attractive glass canopy.
Each of the Renard Bleu's bedrooms is a good size with wooden floors, panelled walls and some exposed beams as well as smart modern shower rooms. Many of them also benefit from a balcony.
A sauna on the ground floor of each chalet completes the sense of quality.

For six days of the week the staff prepares all your meals.
Breakfast: We pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day, with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea and good filter coffee, bread freshly baked in our chalets each morning, cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served.
On the chalet hosts' day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you, which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy to provide some suggestions. In our Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast (including hot option) is also served on the staff's day off.
Afternoon Tea: The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. Children's High Tea: In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner. Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge at the time of booking only.
Dinner: A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host - or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets - and served with a choice of wines. Our 4-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests. With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection. Vegetarian options are always on our 'Culinary Choice' menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance.

What else might affect the economy? The answer is obvious, but its implications are frightening. War and peace influence the economy.No David, the answer isn't obvious, as you suggest. It's literally insane! First, who among us would make the argument that our $2 trillion wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, coupled with a ruinous set of tax cuts, made our economy stronger? Unlike what your failing geriatric memories tell you war-waging was like back in the Good Ol' Days, Modern American Warfare™ doesn't involve millions of Rosie The Riveters fanning out all across the country to flood desperately needed cash into hundreds of communities. Nowadays, the weapon systems have already been paid for and the only place where trillions of dollars get funneled is into the hands of corrupt overseas officials and the coffers of a select few War Contractors (e.g., Xe nee Blackwater and Halliburton).
Look back at FDR and the Great Depression. What finally resolved that economic crisis? World War II.
Here is where Obama is likely to prevail. With strong Republican support in Congress for challenging Iran's ambition to become a nuclear power, he can spend much of 2011 and 2012 orchestrating a showdown with the mullahs. This will help him politically because the opposition party will be urging him on. And as tensions rise and we accelerate preparations for war, the economy will improve.
I am not suggesting, of course, that the president incite a war to get reelected. But the nation will rally around Obama because Iran is the greatest threat to the world in the young century. If he can confront this threat and contain Iran's nuclear ambitions, he will have made the world safer and may be regarded as one of the most successful presidents in history.
Not to mention the fact that the only way to spark your magic economy-fixing solution is to, you know, go to war with Iran. And leave no doubt, when we talk about going to war with Iran, we are talking about the killing of hundreds of thousands of people (mostly Iranian but also American)!I especially loved this bit at the end: "I am not suggesting, of course, that the president incite a war to get reelected." Noooooo, of course not! You're only suggesting that Obama incite a war in order to make Americans fat and happy again. That's so much less offensive than the idea of murdering hundreds of thousands of people for political reasons! How gauche!
What kind of a sociopath just whimsically tosses out cynical people-killing bullshit like this?
Or, as Matt Duss puts it:
Leaving aside the ridiculous idea that we can just ramp up the war machine, whip America into an anti-Iran frenzy and then shut it all down once the economy's back on track, there's the question of basic human decency. Especially in light of what has just occurred in Iraq, what kind of moral degenerate seriously suggests we get ready to do it again in neighboring Iran, just as a way to spur job growth?
The kind who writes a regular column in the Washington Post, apparently.

The Takeaway from the Amash WinIs that, while the hawkish elements of the GOP are easily able to keep noninterventionist, security state skeptics from usually getting Republican nominations, those positions are not actually political poison with a Republican primary electorate.

Happy Holidays Moda Bake Shop-ers! It's Ellie from Craft Sew Create. Don't know where to put all the lovely holiday cards you are receiving this year? I have just the place! A tree shaped bulletin board that's just right to display cards from family and friends. There is a bit more than sewing with this project, but if you're up to it, you'll be rewarded with something beautiful and functional!
One Christmas Charm Pack ( I chose Fruitcake by Basic Grey)
1/2 yard or one Fat Quarter solid fabric for tree trunk (I used Fruitcake - Grunge in Hot Cocoa)
Tools you will need:
Staple Gun
Using your quilter's ruler, you need to draw the outline to cut out your tree with the dimensions as shown. Use an electric saw to cut out the tree. If you don't have one, it's time to call in that favor from your neighbor who does :). Some home improvement centers will even do it for you! Sand the edges as necessary.
Layout your charm pack in a tree shape as shown. Start with 8 squares on the bottom and use one less for each row until there is only one.
Next steps:
Then lay your fabric tree on top of the batting and wood. Make sure you center the fabric on the top and the bottom.
When you have the fabric centered on the board, place 3 stabilizing staples at the very bottom of the fabric into the trunk of the tree (They will be covered by the trunk fabric later). It's time to staple baby!
Carefully flip the board over. Start at the top, pull the fabric over and fold the fabric under so it's taut but not too tight. Staple in place.
After a few staples just check to make sure it's not pulling too much on either side, keep it even and centered.
When you get to the pointed edges, pull the fabric back together and fold over as best and least bunchy as possible.
When you come to the trunk you need to cut a notch in the side of the fabric.
Continue to staple until the whole tree is done.
Next: The Tree Trunk
Cut your trunk fabric to 14" x 18". You need to fold over the top of the fabric about 2". Place at the top of the base of the tree.
Then you fold over the fabric two more times making each fold 2". Wrap the fabric under on the bottom to make sure it is even with the other folds.
Pin in place so the folds don't come undone when you staple.
It's important to start your first ribbon in the lower corner, right next to the trunk. Angle the ribbon up to about 17" on the opposite side. Carefully staple in place. This ribbon will be the measuring point for the rest of the ribbons going that direction.
At each point where the ribbon intersects you need to hammer in a tack. Be careful! It will go through to the back of the board. Make sure you are hammering off the table or on the carpet so you won't harm any furniture.
Because it does go through to the back, you need to hammer it down as shown.
One cute and functional Christmas Card Tree! Hope you will enjoy making it, it really is a fun project. Come visit me at Craft Sew Create for more fun sewing and crafting together!

Our daughter Jenna had her FIRST EVER day of "school" (3-K is what they call it, as she doesn't turn 4 until December) and it's only 2 days a week from 8-Noon, so it's pretty tame.
The first day feelings all parents have, sad that our youngest is old enough for school, a little scared that she's going to be away from a family member for the longest time EVER in her life (4 hours) but excited that SHE is SO excited for the day!
The reason why we call her the "social butterfly" is that she is very friendly to other kids she meets for the first time. VERY friendly. OVERLY friendly?? It's pretty hard for a 3-year-old to be OVERLY friendly, but she certainly pushed the limit - and it's so innocent and cute.
While we were standing in line with her waiting to go into the school, there was a girl in her class behind us in line who was with her Mom and not looking very excited, as she was clutching her Mom's leg. Jenna turned around and said "hello." The little girl didn't respond. So Jenna approached her to the point where their chests were touching. She then reached out and grabbed the girls arms and wrapped them around her and proceeded to give her a hug. The girl's Mom laughed as did we and although we knew that the little girl was afraid, she might have just made her first "friend" at school.
I'm sure with our "social butterfly" there will be many more...

"Everyone I gave this graduation announcement to loved it! The quality of the paper and the actual picture quality was excellent! Would order this product again. Probably for my Christmas cards."
"This graduation announcement is simple elegance. The final product was very pretty. I am very happy. I would recommend the shiny finish over the matte. I ordered the matte on a previous product and the shiny finish is much more appealing."
"Tiny Prints is great. I received my order very quickly, it was done with perfect color and much better than expected paper quality. This was my first time using them, and I will order from them again! Great quality, great service!"
"Graduate Announcement cards awesome we did the preview and the designer was awesome and very responsive. If you have a question you can call and someone answers the phone !!"
"I loved the grad cards you made for my daughter. They arrived early, colors were vibrant and the paper a great quality. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints. The process is simple and templates classy."

Municipal leaders are questioning whether Gov. Dannel P. Malloy had the authority to cut state aid to some municipal programs as part of his plan to head off a nearly $1 billion budget deficit.
James Finley, the executive director of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, sent a letter to Malloy's budget director this week questioning the $4.7 million cut Malloy made in state aid to towns, much of it to schools.
In an interview with the Connecticut Mirror, Finley said the cuts Malloy ordered appear to overstep his budget authority.
Finley told the Mirror that the cuts might violate a legislative measure limiting the governor from cutting municipal aid once that aid is given. However, Malloy's budget chief, Benjamin Barnes, told the website that the cuts were proper and do not violate such a rule.
The $4.7 million in local funding was part of a larger $123 million "budget mitigation plan" put forth by Malloy's budget officials that is aimed at reducing what looks to be a more than $1 billion state budget deficit for 2013. The legislature has scheduled a special session this month to try and close the budget gap.
