A Little Princess (Penguin Classics)by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Sara Crewe, an exceptionally intelligent and imaginative student at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, is devastated when her adored, indulgent father dies. Now penniless and banished to a room in the attic, Sara is demeaned, abused, and forced to work as a servant. How this resourceful girl's fortunes change again is at the center of A Little Princess, one of the best-loved stories in all of children's literature.
This unique and fully annotated edition appends excerpts from Frances Hodgson Burnett's original 1888 novella Sara Crewe and the stage play that preceded the novel, as well as an early story, "Behind the White Brick," allowing readers to see how A Little Princess evolved. In his delightful introduction, U. C. Knoepflmacher considers the fairy-tale allusions and literary touchstones that place the book among the major works of Victorian literature, and shows it to be an exceptionally rich and resonant novel.

Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke to the Reuters Global Technology Summit on Tuesday and while he wouldn't touch TechCrunch's report about financing and valuation, he did opine about a few of Facebook's Web peers:
On the difference between Facebook and MySpace:
I think MySpace defines themselves as more of a media company and a media portal. A way to see the different content that is going on, or a way for a News Corp parent company to spread content through the network. Facebook has always been more focused on helping people build out their identity, helping people maintain their relationships and communicate really efficiently. We have talked about ourselves as a technology company a lot as opposed to a media company.
On the difference between Facebook and Twitter:
We respect Twitter and we think they are a great company. I think Twitter's focus different is markedly different from Facebook's. They are not really at all about a user's identity. They are more about real time communication. People are sharing more and more information...and on a more frequent basis. If you extend that out then there is a good amount of information that is being shared in real time. That's where a service like Twitter comes in, and that's why that's also one piece of what we want to do. If your friend does something important...there is no reason why you don't want that update immediately. Real time is clearly one of the growing trends but i don't think it's the whole picture.

One team has lost five straight games while it awaits the return of its starting point guard, is being outscored by 14 points on average
during this recent skid, and is suffering from dissension in the locker room following last night's blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets.
The other team is looking to win its fourth game in five tries, despite playing without its injured starting point guard, and is coming off one of its best defensive performances of the season.
Nail, meet hammer – you're in danger of getting pounded.
The Boston Celtics play the third game in their deadly five-game West Coast road trip tonight in the Staples Center against the Los Angeles Clippers. Forgive me for sounding, ah, less-than-optimistic, but the Celtics are beginning to resemble the team we all assumed we would see at the beginning of the season. Worse yet, it appears as if the players on the team are beginning to BELIEVE they are the crummy team that pundits felt would be in the the running for a prime pick in the upcoming NBA draft, as they have ceased to play with the intensity and never-say-die attitude that made them so watchable in the early stages of this season. Here's what coach Brad Stevens had to say about his team's effort last night against Denver:
"Tonight's just not good enough. It's not good enough. We're going to have to play really well to beat these teams on the road. Everybody's going to have to play close to an 'A' game, and that's everybody."
It goes without saying that the Celtics have not played their 'A' game in quite some time – arguably since they dismantled the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden – and even with the Clippers missing Chris Paul, Boston needs to play out of their minds tonight if they wish to salvage part of this West Coast road trip. In case the Celtics are reading, here a few friendly reminders that might make the difference between win and loss tonight:
1. Score efficiently. Jeff Green led all Celtics players with 17 points last night. Problem is, it took him 19 shots to get those 17. Boston shot 38.5% as a team last night, and are only managing to connect on 39.5% of its shots during their current losing streak. I mentioned this the other day – the Cs need to try and run more, as well as penetrate and dish, rather than settle for jumpers as the shot clock is winding down.
2. Play aggressive, yet smart. Jared Sullinger: seriously? Two flagrant fouls in a span of 23 seconds? I've seen you commit a few hard fouls this year, and for the most part I've been okay with that, but the last time I covered a Cs game you committed a frustration foul that was deemed a Flagrant 1, and last night you just played dumb basketball. When players start doing crap like that, it's a sure sign of a team melting down. Try to remember you are the Boston Celtics, so even if you lose a lot of games this year, you have a tradition to honor. Play aggressive, but be smart.
Tonight's game is set to kick-off at 10:30 p.m. Wait – did I read that right? And I have to cover it? Better take a nap! Follow us on Twitter – @HoudiniCeltics and @theamazingMrS – and check back in tomorrow for my take on the game!

'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Trailer Rocks Your Eyeballs
Though director Jon M. Chu may not be anyone's first choice for an awesome action movie, every piece of advertising for 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation makes one forget how mediocre 'G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra' was. There's three things that could account for that: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Bruce Willis. and few returning cast members. There's a new trailer, check it out…
Machinima got the exclusive first look at the trailer, and it's introduced by The Rock (which is now the way of exclusive trailers). This builds on all the footage we've seen before, and tells the same betrayal narrative, though it does give an extra moment or two to Channing Tatum who (one assumes) leaves the film rather quickly. This trailer isn't as rock and roll as previous TV and teaser spots, that's for sure, which changes the flavor – this isn't selling fun in the same way.
What it does offer is way more shots of the tech of the G.I. Joe and Cobra teams, and if you grew up with the toys, the presence of a hovercraft definitely sends a tinge of recognition. The film opens June 29, and it looks big and dumb and fun, and we're in.


text: Milord, The vambrace or bracer as worn by an archer has a different purpose than it does for other weapons disciplines. In others, the bracer protects agains knife cuts or sword slashes from the opponent, with archers it protects the archer from his/her own equipment. The laces are fine, but archers will usually turn the bracer around so that the smooth face is where the string will hit on the arm, if it hits at all. This way the string does not get impeded or hung up and the arm where it hits will not be smacked, nor will the inner arm be injured if an arrow should break while being fired, etc. It isn't as pretty, but it is more functional, worn 'backwards'.

The G20 Leaders' Summit will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. The overall planning for the event will be coordinated by the Commonwealth Government Taskforce (G20 Taskforce) as part of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. The G20 Taskforce is responsible for the overall planning and coordination of security for G20 in consultation and partnership with the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and other Commonwealth, State and Local Government security agencies.

IF and 2 a days
Grissim Connery
Mike ODonnell
If your HIIT is short enough to leave you feeling good and not "bonked", then perhaps. If you do too much, your blood sugar will crash, cortisol spike and muscle loss happens. You could also try adding amino acids pre-HIIT if muscle loss is a concern. The try and see method is always the only way....but too much HIIT will not be good overall, keep it short and sweet and feel great after.
That and try adding in fruit with your eating the night before...to get liver glycogen stocked up for the next day (as it will be drained anyways overnight).
Ari Kestler
The only real way I could see you doing this if you IF daily is to do ME type stuff in the AM, wait an hour, break your fast, then do metcon type workouts in the afternoon, and you'd have to be eating a TON.
Liam Dougherty Springer
The only problem I could see here is recovery pre competition. For me when I do things like this I belive I receve great bennifits both short and long term. I will lose weight, lean out, retain strength atleast, and my met con and mental awarenes improve dramaticaly. However there is only a certain period of time before I need some seriouse recovery inorder to keep from finding the meaning of "too much of a good thing". During the recovery I will often immediatly gain 3+ pounds of water and fat and my metabolism needs an adjustment period before that fat is going back away. Still I am not adviseing against the two a day low cal IF I just wanted to share my experience.:D
Mike would know more but some carb cycleing around specific training scheduals may also be bennificial and may leave you further from a point of over training just before a copetition.
Liam Dougherty Springer
Oh yeah and when doing a similar WO plan some of my favorite morning metcons.
Fran, 100 meter sprint drills, 10 min. cindy/mary, 1/2 angie, 100(max! 50 will work) burpies for time, Helen, or make up my own but try and keep the reps under 200 and the time definatly under or just at 10 min. These are CF work outs and just incase you aren't familiar they can all be found on the main page. If the work out is a full 10 min as many rounds type I will get myself going then moderate and not go for on the ground gasping.

Robust opposition ... Christopher Pyne. Photo: Alex Ellinghausen
CHRISTOPHER PYNE didn't exactly promise kinder, gentler politics in canvassing last week plans for parliamentary reform under an Abbott government. But he did suggest that Parliament would be transformed into a more civilised, well-behaved institution, especially thanks to the good example of a new prime minister.
Federal MPs have certainly earned the disgust of many voters since the 2010 election. Ironic perhaps, when you recall how crossbencher Rob Oakeshott hoped for so much better. During those days of negotiation for a new government, Abbott said: ''I think we can have a kinder, gentler polity … we can be a more collegial polity than we've been.''
Pyne, the manager of opposition business in the House of Representatives, devoted much of his speech urging better standards to blaming Julia Gillard ''and the culture of the labour movement'' for people losing faith in Parliament. Labor would say it's the Coalition's fault.
In fact, responsibility should be shared around in the hung Parliament. The scent of power, and the fear of losing it, weakens usual restraints.
Pyne has promised a Coalition government would support an ''independent speaker''. In practice ''independence'' depends on the personality of the position's occupant and the eye of the beholder who judges his or her performance.
Harry Jenkins, pushed out by Labor in favour of Peter Slipper, was fair-minded but Labor didn't thank him for it and the House was often chaotic. Slipper kept order better, especially by throwing out Coalition MPs who played up. Anna Burke tries her best but has been worn down by battling the ferals to her right and her left in the chamber.
Among his initiatives Pyne proposes having, in addition to the ordinary question time, a daily question period for backbenchers, enabling them to pursue local issues with ministers. There would also be a ''take note'' period to consider answers provided by the government in the general question time. Rules would be changed to give ministers less opportunity to use question time to ''sledge'' the opposition.
A backbenchers' question time and the ''take note'' session might be useful, just as changes limiting the length of ministers' answers and MPs' questions already have been. Whatever was done to curb sledging, ministers would be looking for a way around it. It is hard to see Pyne, as a minister, being too constrained - his opposition style is certainly robust.
In bemoaning bad parliamentary behaviour, we should keep things in perspective. Parliament is a war zone where the bullets are verbal. Its members will say things to each other that could land you in serious trouble if you addressed them to your neighbour. And today's media appetite provides politicians with lots of opportunity and encouragement for confrontations outside Parliament That's part of the problem. We see too much of them, up too close. In periods of great intensity, this can be bad for the political system because people get so turned off by the ugliness.
In the next term, in which we can be confident (on the law of probability alone) we will see a majority government, the atmosphere is likely to be less fraught. There will still be bad behaviour, but perhaps less often in the first couple of years, as a more normal pattern kicks in. Unless - frightening thought - the round-the-clock media cycle has produced an addiction to high-octane ''shouty'' politics that refuses to tone down.

Sell them for a reasonable price (The magical iPhone instabuy price of $1) and a LOT more people will buy them on a whim and you may make a profit if its a good theme.
|Arne Gleason
Maybe Im being Mr. Obvious here, but Themes have both Merchandising and Marketing aspects. Giving them away for free might make sense for some cases (dev cost could be a legit Marketing expense), while for other cases they might be sold for profit (by having a strong Merchandising draw). When you feel the need to explain publicly that youre taking a loss, Im guessing customers dont value your product as much as you wish they did.
|steve roger
Sorry, not buying the "it's a loss." First, as Sid said, drop the price get that Valve proven profit from gross receipts. Second, tie the theme to advertising dollars. If a gamer installs it, you have instant advertising both through viewing and good will. For example, I got a screen saver for Asto boy of the net for free. Sure they are taking a "loss" because it's free. But it is selling the movie to my kids who want to see it now because it's on the PC.
Arne, I think they are just trying to justify the bloated price. A price that is pricing themselves right out of a profit. 3 bucks for a theme? No on my watch. And yes, I think if they were motivated by selling these things, they are fooling themselves.
|Tom Newman
Just factor it into the marketing budget, because that's essentially what it is. I'm happy to display the theme of my favorite game, but paying for it seems unnecessary, especially for what is essentially a big ad.
|Janne Haffer
Just to be annoying and point out that this part is incorrect: "The new themes add interactivity with firmware upgrade 3.0"
The only way to get interactivity from dynamic themes is to manually go in and change the ps3 clock, which I don't think Sony would approve of as a "proper" use of the themes.
Also as Tom Newman said, just make it part of the marketing budget.

I don't love the $2.99 price, but keep in mind that Dylan is talking specifically about the theme they made, which is for a game that has been out well over a year. He's not saying all developers are making themes at a loss, just in this case where the theme is unlikely to receive purchases other than from the die-hard fans, since PJ Monsters isn't really at the forefront of marketing right now.
In that case, where they are LONG past the point of lumping this in with a marketing budget, I have no problem with them charging $2.99 for it. I'm a massive fan of the PixelJunk games and happily would pay $2.99 for a PJ Monsters theme (and I did).
On the flip side, if brand new games are coming out alongside dynamic themes at $2.99, I call foul. Dynamic themes should be on the disc or inside the game download. Buy the game, get 2 or 3 varieties of themes for it.
|Dylan Cuthbert
Sorry to butt in - but seeing as my harmless comment has become major gaming news... :)
Gabe has it right - I think if we were releasing Monsters right now, then a lower price tag (or free, depending on the effort put into it) would be fine.
But Monsters is almost two years old now (the Japanese release was early December) and we already actually spent a lot of cash on "free fan service", such as the trophy patch and the difficulty options, plus all the free static themes we've released.
Someone mailed me just yesterday asking if there was a way to donate to PixelJunk as a mark of respect. I think it would be cool if these dynamic themes were thought of in that way - if you like PixelJunk and want to add some cash to our coffers to help us develop more games then grab our dynamic theme!
If you "game-shared" Monsters and never got around to buying it, then grab our theme and feed us! (well, if you enjoyed the game of course)

Original description
LiquidSonics' Reverberate is a highly efficient hybrid convolution reverb audio processor offering true zero-latency operation for two separate, stereo impulse responses for Mac and PC supporting VST, Audio Units and RTAS.
Creative Convolution
Reverberate provides a rich and dynamic reverb from impulse responses by modulating an amalgamation of two, separately controllable true stereo IRs using an LFO. Further modulation is possible using the post-processing effects; an all-pass interpolator chorus and delay unit provide a fuller sound and an over-sampled analogue prototype paragraphic equaliser is provided with dual LFOs. These features make for a livelier, more creative sound than typically associated with some convolution reverbs.
In addition to loading impulse responses from audio files Reverberate is able to generate supplementary independent early reflections and tails for additional control over a room's sonic characteristics.

Press Coverage
Computer Music UK (September 2009 Edition): `Reverberate stands up to the competition in terms of sound quality, and the additional modulation options make it an absolute steal` and on the modulation: `In practice, it is very effective, and offers creative potential too `. Download the demo to try it out yourself!
Sound On Sound UK (April 2010 Edition): `Overall, I was most impressed. Affordable it may be, but Reverberate is a sophisticated product with few of the rough edges one often finds in budget software `and` It is straightforward to use, and in its stated aim of bringing life and movement to convolution reverb, it succeeds admirably ` .
Presets and Impulse Responses
Reverberate is supplied with a number of presets and impulse responses in order to provide an overview of the plug-in's capabilities, but we strongly encourage you to seek additional impulse responses and experiment with Reverberate's modulation capabilities. Whilst there are many outstanding commercial DVD IR libraries there are some excellent, well respected packages available online such as those at 1313 (rhythminmind.net), Samplicity, Practical Sampling, OpenAIR (UK-based sampled IRs), Echo Chamber and more links at KVR.

<!– google_ad_section_start –> CAIRO — A hot-air balloon exploded over the ancient city of Luxor on Tuesday, killing at least 18 people and adding fresh turmoil to Egypt's beleaguered tourism industry, which has been struggling since the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak two years ago. Authorities said the balloon was drifting at about 1,000 feet when it caught fire and the basket plummeted into sugar cane fields outside a village shortly after dawn. Officials said the dead included nine passengers from Hong Kong, four from Japan, two from France, two from Britain and one from Belgium. <!– google_ad_section_end –>

Control your stress: Finals Edition

It's that time of the college-school year when the weight of finals looms over all of us like a smelly fart that just won't dissipate. The atmosphere becomes overwhelming, it's hard to breath, and you just can't get enough fresh air. The key is to not panic when someone lets one rip. Instead, calmly call them out to embarrass them (because that's always fun), open a window and let the smell out.

That includes you, your cat, your boyfriend, your brain, your professors- everything. That's why things like X-rays are able to pass through our skin and look inside us- our skin wasn't solid to begin with.

Ever Evolving Knowledge of the Sports Bra

Oh yeah, and always wear a sports bra when you're being active. Sound good? Not quite. It's not that our mothers have failed entirely by simply setting us free in the bra department of Target once they recognized that we have breasts. It is setting us free with only the knowledge passed down from their mothers in the bra department that is the problem. READ MORE
Spring Fashion Trends According Two WMU Students
April 8, 2013 - 1:17pm
With spring just about here--- just kidding, it's still snowing. It's April and it's still snowing. Mother Nature might be pulling an awful April Fool's joke on the people of Michigan and we are not taking it lightly. Snow has over stayed its welcome and green grass and leaves on the trees are sorely missed. We're tired of wearing big, clunky snow boots; we want sandals and tank-tops now. This winter, studded boots and leather jackets were very popular. Big comfy sweaters and leggings also hung on for the ride and even though the ride isn't over yet, style planning for spring is as crucial as the internet for a social media junkie. READ MORE

Valparaiso University student Abby Accettura said she plans her winter footwear based on how much "white" she sees on the sidewalk outside her window.
The "white" she refers to isn't snow, it's salt.
"I do a lot of walking to get to my classes, so I'm glad the campus sidewalks are always properly salted," said Accettura, 18, of Gurnee, Ill.
"But what also keeps sidewalks and roads safe can destroy shoes. I ruined a pair of suede boots last year because of the salt."
Despite this winter's lack of snow, the recent single digit temperatures warrant de-icing of roads, driveways and sidewalks.
But besides shoes and clothing, including unfortunate bulky coats that happen to brush against a chalky white coated automobile, the de-icing blends used for saving others from slips and vehicles from sliding, can have other consequences.
"There are definitely a few options and improvements from what we had in the past," said David Andres, manager at Gus Bock Ace Hardware in Lansing.
"It's not just the option of salt or sand. There are also blends created to answer the needs of customers."
The varied additives in blends also assist with handling an array of temperature conditions, as well as pet, concrete corrosion and landscape damage concerns.
"The most basic of buys is to use the traditional rock salt, which is a large and coarse consistency," said Andres, who has worked at Gus Bock Hardware for 15 years.
"Traditional salt of this type is good and will work in any conditions down to about 5 degrees above zero."
A 50 pound bag at Ace Hardware stores, sells for around $7.99.
However, Andres warns the large pieces are harmful to pets, especially dogs, who can get the pieces caught near the bottom pads of their paws.
"Raw salt, which is just sodium chloride, is also very tough on concrete," Andres said.
"Because it comes in such large pieces, it takes some time to dissolve and as it sits on concrete steps, it eats away at the surface. Any remaining salt should always be swept up and removed rather than left standing on the surface once the ice is gone."
Salt is also damaging to flower beds and shrubbery.
A better alternative is a better blend sold in most stores, including a special Ace line sold at Ace Hardware stores, described as an ice melter "mix," described as "safe for pets and vegetation and doesn't burn skin." It's also formulated as effective for ice in temperatures that dip to 10-below zero.
The key added component is 20 percent magnesium, along with 5 percent potassium chloride added to the 75 percent salt base of sodium chloride.
"What makes this an even better option is the additives helping prevent against re-freezing of the ice that was melted on the surface where applied," Andres said.
A 40-pound bag of the Ace brand sells for $14.99.
For homeowners who embrace organic options, most stores, including Ace Hardwares, also sell a 100 percent organic option that contains no salt, and relies only on the potassium and magnesium components. This blend is guaranteed to work in temps that drop to as low as 15 below zero and promises to not only be safe around pets and vegetation, but also doesn't require gloves and goggles to spread and is less corrosive to metals, as well as concrete. It also doesn't leave behind the chalky white staining residue that is a result of any of the salt-based blends. An 8 pound container at Ace Hardware sells for $12.
"Added colors, such as blue, help the user to see where it is spread, as opposed to the look of clear salt," Andres said.
"And in most blends, if you look closely, you can even see the small flat pieces of the added magnesium."
As for using sand, Andres recommends it for any wood surfaces, such as decks and balconies, since these structures with wood grain are easily damaged by other de-icing products. However, sand only provides traction, but does not contain any agents to cause ice to melt.
"We also used to carry some other pricey blends, including pellets that can be spread prior to a snowfall or predicted icy weather to prevent ice and snow coating prior to it happening," he said.
"But these products are far less common than the others."
As for the liability issues associated with any slips or falls on sidewalks due to a homeowner's lack of attention to icy surfaces, it is always recommended to be proactive and use precaution, as well as consulting an insurance agent for the latest rulings as to expected care and responsibility.

UNC has three players who would be top 15 picks in the NBA Draft right now if they decided to declare early. In this series we'll take a look at all three and make a case for their return to Chapel Hill.
North Carolina sophomore forward Harrison Barnes would benefit tremendously by returning to school for his junior season and bypassing the NBA Draft. Barnes returned for his sophomore season to polish his game and become more pro-ready. And although in ways he did that by shooting a higher percentage from the field and taking better shots for most of the season. Barnes did not become the superstar many thought he would become. The expectations were high coming in, and Barnes was almost in a no-win situation as far as meeting those high expectations. But that doesn't change the fact that he is no longer a sure fire top five pick like he was this time a year ago.
After shining in the both postseason tournaments as a freshman. Barnes regressed badly this season and played two of his worst games against Ohio and Kansas when his team needed him the most. It's hard to criticize the leading scorer on the nations top scoring team. Even harder when that player is a first team All-ACC and second team All-American.
What Barnes has in shiny stats and highlight reel dunks he lacks in other key areas. Barnes is almost the Carmelo Anthony of college basketball, not the Syracuse version, the NY Knicks, one dribble jump shot guy. Tons of talent, but doesn't really get to the rim that often. Barnes has big time size for a small forward, especially at the college level. Yet he has not developed any type of high or low post game to speak of. His turn around jumper is okay, but he doesn't use it nearly enough. Barnes has shown at times throughout his career that he can, sometimes, get to the basket and do some dazzling things around the basket. His overall handle of the basketball is sub par and he cannot get to the rim when he wants too far too often. With his ability to get off a jump shot pretty much whenever he wants too and his habit of falling in love with firing jumpers instead of working for the higher percentage shot has me worried about him as a pro. It's easy to see Barnes stunting his development in the NBA and falling into becoming a role player.
Harrison Barnes is a fantastic basketball player, no doubt if he goes pro somebody will draft him probably in the top ten still. Could he become an All-Star NBA player someday? Sure, he absolutely could and it wouldn't surprise me that much if he did. But it's not going to get any easier to improve the flaws in his game at the pro level. Leaving Chapel Hill now is a big gamble for Barnes and one I don't think he should take.

Located between Sedona and the Grand Canyon, north of the Phoenix airport, this haven is restful, family friendly and delightful after an outdoor day. There is so much to explore in the area that I never arrived at the Lodge in time for the wine tastings, but the breakfasts were varied and healthful. Not being on a main highway is part of the charm, but follow a GPS carefully and/or phone for directions as you get close.

My husband and I stayed here for one night after a long day at the Grand Canyon. We had some difficulty finding the Lodge in the dark, otherwise loved this B & B. The owners take pride in their Lodge. Everything was immaculate: rooms, common room, lounge, kitchen, etc. Owner was very accommodating for our late arrival. If you want a place away from the hustle and bustle, at a reasonable price, choose this B & B. High-end rustic furniture and bedding. When we checked in we had the option of scheduling breakfast according to our time table. We selected 8:30 and a delicious breakfast of egg's Benedict was ready. We would highly recommend this B & B.

To start with, it's a great location. Just off the highway, a few minutes outside of Flagstaff business district, far enough away that on a clear night the stars are incredible! In the AM you get back on the highway, go around a curve & there's this gorgeous snow-capped mountain in view. Rooms were cozy (it was cold & windy outside!), clean, adequate size, the food was good, the common area nice too, the staff very friendly & responsive. Go there.

My wife and I stayed here for two days while travelling in the Flagstaff area and enjoyed the quite atmosphere and the fine food. The lodge is about 10 minutes from downtown Flagstaff and there are no stores around, except for a gas station about 1.5 miles away however this was not a problem for us. No TV in the room but a nice common area on the second floor. Also the rooms do not include a hair dryer however the staff quickly rustled up one when asked. A fine place to stay to get away from it all but still close to highway and town. Carl

This was our first weekend away without our small children and it was wonderful. Abineau is quiet and peaceful. Surrounding forests are beautiful. Very easy to get to Flagstaff for dinner. Breakfast was great. Wine tasting on Saturday was a nice touch. We stayed for two nights in November while we visited the Page, AZ area. For two people from Phoenix it was a treat to arrive in the snow. We would definitely come back.

We wanted to get out of the heat in Phoenix, so looked in Flagstaff for a special place to celebrate our 23rd anniversary. Because Abineau was away from the hustle of the city, this was the perfect place! Quiet, cozy. Friendly staff to assist with any special needs. Great weekend! Hope to return again sometime. The Brown's, Sun City West, AZ

Two really comfortable nights with a tour of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in between. We felt at home in this casual but classy setting. Owners bring a very eclectic and unique background to the operation. Staff is competent, polite and friendly. A very homey feeling. On Monday night we brought back delicious light fare for dinner on the patio including a bottle of wine from the B&B shop. If you're looking for pampering and luxury, look elsewhere. If you want elegant rustic, comfort, all in a beautiful setting, go here.

My 4-day-stay at the Abineau Lodge in Flagstaff will forever be one that I cherish! The service was outstanding and the breakfasts were fantastic! The staff was always happy to help me with whatever I needed and were eager to offer information to help my stay be more enjoyable. I stayed in the Bear's Lair room and it was wonderfully comfortable and cozy! The view from my room was amazingly beautiful and I was able to take a nice hike right behind the Lodge! I would recommend this B&B to anyone looking to stay in the Flagstaff area!

For the second time we took over the entire lodge for a family reunion and had a marvelous time! My husband and I also stay here frequently during the summer to get out of the Phoenix heat. Wendy, Jaime and the staff are absolutely wonderful and accommodating. The rooms are extremely comfortable, clean and cozy. Mornings offer a walk out the door into the forest where we watched 8 elk - 4 of the males with large racks! Breakfast is always delicious and, again, they will accommodate any dietary needs. We will continue to come back time and time again! Love you guys!

The rooms were spotless. Mattress and linens impeccable. Above par breakfast plate served by owner. Disappointed blue corn pancakes not offered on weekends ?!? Owner set aside time to answer questions about local bike trails. Do not visit neighboring Mountainaire Tavern after 8:00 pm for dinner- near atrocious food.

A warm and cozy room in a welcoming lodge. The rooms were a little small, but the cleanliness and value made up for it. I would return, definately.

We've been to Flag before, but have never stayed here. Loved the place! Would come back for sure! Great lodging and food. The owners and staff were also very helpful. We loved chatting with the other guests at breakfast. We'll be back for sure! : )

Comfy beds, yummy belgian waffles, and a friendly innkeeper greet you at this little place tucked away in the pine trees just outside of Flagstaff. Each room has theme, but it's not so done up that you're searching for a place to put your bag down. Enjoy a walk in the ponderosa pines or play a board game with other guests in the upstair parlor, you won't be disappointed visiting Abineau Lodge.

We stayed for 1 night in December 2011, there was plenty of snowfall which made our stay even more memorable. Wish we had extended our stay by an additional night! Wendy the owner is a great hostess, she's friendly and inviting. She also provides a great home-cooked breakfast, the homemade granola is delicious! Rooms and beds were clean and comfortable, the lodge felt almost as if we were staying at home! We also enjoyed the huskies outside. Ü Location of the lodge is within easy driving distance of the town. If we return to Flagstaff, we would definitely look at staying at Abineau again! Highly recommended.

Overhead ceiling fans in the Sled dog room 6 for each room would be a nice addition to the 12in fan. Other than that the stay was outstanding, breakfast was different and unique each morning. The hiking trail to the pond was refreahing each day. Look forward to returning in the future.

Our family gathering at the Abineau Lodge for our 60th Wedding Anniversary could not have been more enjoyable. Four generations of our family enjoyed 3 nights of outstanding hospitality by Wendy White and the Staff. The lodge fit our needs perfectly. The rooms were clean and well furnished, the food was outstanding, and the common area provided exactly what we needed for our family gathering. Wendy and her staff provided for our every need. We highly recommend the Abineau Lodge for group gatherings such as ours.

The Abineau Lodge is centrally located to explore Sunset Crater National Monument (dormant volcano, 20 min.), Wupatki National Monument (many ruins, 40 min.), Meteor Crater (30 min.) and Walnut Canyon National Monument (cliff dwellings, 10 min.), Lowell Observatory AND Sedona (30 min.). We had a 2 room suite for our family with 2 kids (ages 6 & 8). The decor makes you feel truly like you are in a mountain retreat. The staff were extremely friendly, accommodating and flexible. Abineau Lodge's location is also great for flying into Flagstaff because it is 10 min. from the Flagstaff airport, a very small airport. This was particularly helpful for us because our flight out of MN was 3 hours delayed, we barely caught the last flight to Flagstaff by minutes and finally got to the Flagstaff airport by 8:30 p.m. At which time all the rental car companies were closed. Our rental car company said they would leave us the keys with our airline agent but they did not. So, we were stuck at the airport for another 2 hours trying to figure out the rental car situation. We were able to take a $10 cab ride to the Abineau Lodge while my husband straightened out the rental car situation - went back to the airport. Needless to say the Abineau Lodge was a great place to come home to at 10:30 p.m. after a long day of travel with kids. I am glad we did not have another 30 min. cab ride to Sedona or 1.25 hours cab ride to the Grand Canyon from Flagstaff without a rental car. Also, we stayed in the Grand Canyon on the rim for 4 nights and came back to the Abineau Lodge and Flagstaff for our return flight to MN.

Arrived tired and hungry to be welcomed by a most gracious Hostess who recommended the nearby Tavern for Supper. Enjoyed a satisfying ample meal in rustic surroundings with soft jazz on the Jukebox. My room was charming,quiet and most comfortable.Fell asleep with my window open to the Pine Forest -reminiscient of The Adirondacks, where I was born and raised.And the bottle of wine we shared when I returned from Supper helped.A fresh-brewed Keurig cup of java and a healthy, delicious breakfast greeted me the next morning.Later I walked over to the local store and purchased some freshly-brewed beer made in Flagstaff. Wish I could stay a few nights, but my 1400 mile journey in my loaded Penske presses me to keep to my schedule to Phoenix. Will return to the Abineau Lodge for sure !

Abineau Lodge was a comfortable place to stay. Beds were comfortable. We slept with the windows open and the cool breeze felt good. It was nice to stay in a quite out of the way place. The lodge itself was big and open where you were free to entertain yourself. Breakfast was very good,especially the blueberry pancakes and bacon. Would stay there again if ever near Flagstaff.

I really enjoyed my honeymoon stay at the Abineau Lodge! I was impressed when comparing B&Bs for the Flagstaff area that Abineau had very clear photos of the rooms on their website, and the rooms and lodge design could have been arranged by a professional interior designer. Compared to other "quaint" places to stay, this had none of the... well, "granny" decor that other places seemed to feature. The lodge was just as gorgeous when we arrived. The rooms were large and spacious, the bed was extremely comfortable, and Wendy made sure to fulfill all of my special requests. In case you're wondering from the description of the sled dogs on the website, the noise wasn't an issue. The kennels were situated a good distance from the lodge, and even when they did a "howling" on the second to last day we were there, you could barely hear it inside. The dogs were mellow and friendly, and the two cats, Isaac and Ziggy, were sweet and liked to get petted on the porch -- when they felt like making an appearance, anyway. Breakfast was scrumptious and hearty every morning, usually some form of pancakes, eggs, and meat, with a bit of fruit. The location was also perfect – just outside of Flagstaff so you didn't have to deal with all the red lights when you wanted to go somewhere, or the train noise that many websites mention. Wendy was a friendly host, ready to give advice about where to eat or what to see, or even hunt down the kitties when they couldn't be found. ;) All in all we had a great time on our trip, and if we ever return to Flagstaff, I know just the place to stay!

A great location for a stay in the Flagstaff area. Very nice rooms and extremely friendly staff.

My wife and I visited the lodge in late February. The rooms at the lodge were absolutely spotless, breakfasts were filling and the attention to detail was exceptional. We felt welcome but were given our own space as much as possible. Since we were interested in hiking, the inhouse library offered all we needed to know to enjoy ourselves. Highly recommended. We hope to return the next time we visit Arizona. Stephen and Shelley(Montreal)

Had a wonderful two nights here in October 09. The hosts have thought of pretty much everything and were very helpful. Great breakfasts and a lovely house. Enjoyed our conversations with the hosts, staff and other guests. A comfortable, friendly and relaxing place to stay.

We stayed two nights in June. The room was very comfortable and spacious, and the bed was like heaven. In the mornings, we had the most wonderful and filling hot breakfasts; definitely worth the calories! Will recommend this B&B, and plan to stay again when we are in the area.

TauBu Girls' August Movie Picks
August is looking to be a great month for movies. The TauBu Girls share their favorite flick picks.
- Hit & Run, August 24: Having a penchant for track car racing, TauBu Girl Amanda is most excited about Hit & Run starring Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard and Bradley Cooper. Shepard plays Charlie Bronson, a former getaway driver who jeopardizes his Witness Protection Plan identity to help his gorgeous blonde girlfriend (Bell) get to Los Angeles – with the feds and his former bank robbing gang hot on their trail. Romance, comedy and some classic car chase action.
- The Apparition, August 24: TauBu Girl Jamile has a bit of a dark side (and we dig it). So, she's looking forward to the release of The Apparition, a dark thriller about a couple haunted by a supernatural presence unleashed during a college experiment. It's an epic head-game of a horror flick starring the gorgeous Ashley Greene of Twilight fame, Tom Felton, who played Draco in the Harry Potter series, and Romanian actor Sebastian Stan. Oh, and Green looks great in a little black hot pants PJs number.
- Premium Rush, August 24: TauBu Girl Aubrey is another speedster chick with mad athletic skills. She's itching to see Premium Rush, an action thriller about a Manhattan bike messenger played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, one of NY's best. Riding a super lightweight, single-gear bike with no brakes, he picks up his last envelope of the day and quickly finds himself riding for his life from a dirty copy who wants that package. Premium Rush was shot simultaneously as Triple Rush, a TV docu-reality series about bike messengers. If you know anything about these guys, you know they're part athlete, part nutcase, all extreme. In fact, during filming, Gordon-Levitt rode his bike full on into a cap and smashed into the rear windshield, shattering it. Pints of blood and 31 stitches later, he was back to work. Extreme, indeed.
What's your top pick for the August box office? Post your favorites on the TauBu Facebook fan page.

The Metal Building Manufacturers Association has announced a new fire wall listing. The intent of the test program was to develop a fire resistance-rated, non-load bearing metal building wall assembly.
The listing can be found in the UL Fire Resistance Directory as UL Design 404. This listing complements the 12 existing UL-rated assemblies already in use for metal building systems and offers building contractors a simplified construction alternative.
A new wall design includes several variations that will meet future energy codes by including a broad range of blanket and/or rigid board insulation options.
The new UL Design W404 consists of an exterior wall assembly that is constructed of the most common metal building structural components.
The exterior metal cladding and interior sides were both subjected to separate one-hour fire tests, as well as hose stream tests immediately following each burn. The fire tests determined the UL rating, or the amount of time that the assembly would hold up during a significant fire event.
The fire resistance design listings enable architects and designers to use metal buildings for higher occupancy commercial, institutional, and governmental uses and can increase allowable floor area.
The 12 existing UL-rated assemblies are explained in detail in MBMA's Fire Resistance Design Guide for Metal Building Systems, available at www.mbma.com/bookstore.
