Little did Arthur Murray know when he opened the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in 1912 that it would play an integral part in history. It was a dance studio that helped revolutionize direct mail advertising and led Murray to be the first person in the world to broadcast live dance music on the radio. By the 1930s, he had his instructors teaching new dances including "The Big Apple," followed by the "Teeny Banana" on first-class steamship cruises. His instructors moved from steamships to big screens, teaching actors dance moves and starring in such films as Dirty Dancing and Saturday Night Fever. By then, the studio had inspired the hit song "Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry" by Betty Hutton and the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. Today, the studio's name appears on the pages of Vogue, Martha Stewart Wedding, and Sports Illustrated.
Aside from remaining a presence in media and cities around the world, the Arthur Murray Dance Studio gets feet moving by teaching popular dances that include the cha-cha, fox trot, salsa, samba, and swing. The studio instructs on a variety of dances that help people look cool at bar mitzvahs, nightclubs, crosswalks, and anywhere dance is popular.:m]]
Most students in introductory stained-glass-making classes are in search of a new hobby or a fun few hours, but not Connie Beckers. In 1995, she took such a course and soon built a career around the art of stained glass and kiln-working. Now, through The Goddess of Glass, she teaches others her craft during classes that cover the creation of jewelry, coasters, plates, and transparent overalls. She?s also been known to flex her instructional muscle as a guest artist on the DIY Network show I Hate my Kitchen, on the episode entitled Cramped Quarters, where she taught the show?s host and contractor how to make stained-glass tiles for a kitchen in the middle of remodeling.
The Goddess of Glass also sells artwork and gifts out of a separate retail shop. Patrons can commission a custom piece, such as a stained-glass window, or peruse a collection of pieces by more than 80 local artisans. The shop?s staff can also advise clients who need custom framing, helping them to pick the proper matting and frame so that their Richard Nixon rookie cards really pop.
Modo Yoga Minneapolis is one of more than 75 independent locations maintained by Moksha Yoga. Modo unites hot yoga with an unwavering fidelity to sustainable environmental and social practices. The company's eponymous classes combine therapeutic yoga with traditional yoga through 40 postures that can be modified to stretch and challenge students of all fitness and flexibility levels. Ryann and Phil Doucette co-own the Minneapolis studio, where Ryann manages, directs, and happily teaches in the footsteps of Moksha founders Ted Grand and Jessica Robertson. Ryann and Phil outfitted the studio with cork flooring for joint support and radiant heating for encouraging the release of toxins through perspiration. The 103-degree heat helps ligaments get as loose as a pirate's morals doing the worm, allowing deeper stretches. All her hard work has paid off with Modo Yoga Minneapolis being awarded Best New Studio in 2011 and Best Hot Yoga in 2012 by Minnesota Monthly.
According to Minnesota Monthly, "The Firm is a sexy sort of gym." Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, Self, and Seventeen all agree, having identified it as the go-to gym for an incredible workout. But it's not just the museum-sleek aesthetic or rigorous classes that make The Firm great. Rather, it's the fact that the gym constantly evolves to accommodate new fitness trends. When spinning became the hot new workout, The Firm met the demand, offering the best spinning classes in Minnesota, according to CBS Minnesota. And now that CrossFit has risen to superstardom, The Firm offers it seven days a week. The Star Tribune reports that industry veteran Kelly Miyamoto is the visionary behind the scenes. Having started her career in the 1980s, she's witnessed the rise and fall of various workouts as well as the concurrent fluctuations in the market for neon leotards.
At Claymate Creations, Anjee Mai Emerson celebrates her two passions: art and play. Inspired by her joy in creating sculptures, she uses her colorful creation haven to share that love with students aged 8 and older. She leads them in shaping polymer clay monster sculptures, motivating them to tap into their imaginations to bring one-eyed green gremlins or self-destructive socialites to life. In each three-hour playshop class or private party, up to six guests gather in this casual learning environment. Anjee encourages them to have fun playing with clay while they flex their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
She also showcases her own work throughout the studio, and sells her handmade monsters, earrings, magnets, and stationery at a handful of local boutiques.
At over 100 locations throughout the country, CorePower Yoga (CPY) invites students to creative classes that meld movement, breath, heat, and music into entrancing routines to energize the body and mind. Signature CPY classes are taught by approachable certified yoga instructors who lead students through dynamic, Vinyasa-style flows with demonstration and verbal cues, helping pupils of all experience levels tone core muscles and cultivate balance. CPY also offers teacher training and lifestyle programs to empower students to become yoga instructors or to just advance their individual practice. During construction of all its new studios, CPY strives to use recycled content, install eco-friendly and efficient mechanical systems, and ensure that any waste created doesn't end up in landfills or just piled in Mr. Henderson's garage.

At Manitoba Mutts we take in dogs from all over Manitoba who have been abandoned, abused or surrendered at no fault of their own. Our dogs are tested with other dogs, cats and kids. Please note that listed breeds are more often than not just a guess based on the appearance of the dog. Also, full grown weight for puppies is a guess based on their mother and supposed breeds. Almost all of our rescues are purebred mutts, which is what makes them so special, they're one of a kind.

I LOVE swimming, also like jogging, dog parks, my toys and learning new things. I sleep in my crate for the day while my foster mom works and I'm house trained.

I started dry land training for skijoring, I have my own personal harness for pulling...now bring on the SNOW for more fun!!! I am working on leash manners, and controlling my squirrel drive!

I can just hang out, or if you want to help me trim my waist, I'm game for a run! I heard my foster Mom say I don't shed as much as she expected. I don't know much about boy dogs or little kids yet.

I walk pretty good on a leash, but I occasionally forget and pull a little, it's just walks are so much fun. I am a little nervous of my Kennel and going into the car but I'm making awesome progress on both, yay! I would do great in a home with a friendly young dog that I can play with, but if you want me to be your one and only that's okay too. I'm good with cats, and I like kids of all ages.

I currently live with other dogs both big and small and I'm pretty good with them, as long as they like to share. I also live with cats and they're pretty cool, although when they run I kinda like to see where they're going so I follow suit so if you have cats they'll have to be ok with that. I have met a few older kids and I like'em, I especially like giving kisses. I am fully house trained and I'm working on leash training as I like to pull sometimes. I love my people so much that I'm not a fan of being alone, but I'm trying to learn that it's ok and that you'll come back for me, so I'll need a home that can help me with my separation anxiety. I'm a fairly laid back girl otherwise that deserves a forever home. Do you have room in your heart for a gal like me?

What to do: Leftover Steak
- Jennalynn Nov 13, 2007 03:38 PM
I've got about 8 oz of leftover rib eye steak from a truly wonderful restaurant (I really tried to finish it! But I knew I wanted dessert)
I guess I could just warm it up, but it will never be quite as wonderful.
Any interesting ideas?
It was ordered and received "medium rare".
This is what I do with leftover steak and I think it's pretty spectacular:
It's a a Jamie Oliver recipe (the only one of his I've ever made) and the original calls for seared carpaccio. But it's great with any kind of steak. Leftover or not. And the beets in the farmers' market are beautifu right now. Ummm. Time for me to do this again.
I'm a big fan of the Pittsburgh steak salad. Warm the steak just a tad and slice it up over fresh greens, tomatoes, peppers and toss in some warmed fries or potato wedges and finish it w/ a creamy blue cheese dressing or balsamic vinaigrette. It's sooooo good!
When I married my very Italian hubby, I wanted to learn how to make a passable tomato sauce. It was a whole new world to me, but fortunately, I had a patient teacher--his mother ;-). For a basic, non-specific sauce, she told me to toss bits of left-over meat in to long-simmer or -roast in the mixture. So now I refrigerate or freeze, if I won't be making sauce for a while, left-overs from beef, pork, lamb, sausage entrees and then drop them in some combination in the pot. I think it does add a richness and fullness. Depending on what I'm making, I'll either pull the meat out at some point, or just let it dissolve off the bone. Any textural change to the cooked meat from the freezer really doesn't matter after a long, slow cooking.
And there's always stock...or soup...whether you make it yourself or want to add a little substance to a prepared soup.
I take my leftover steak, put it on a plate, sprinkle some gorgonzola on it, cover it with wax paper and reheat in the microwave at 30% for however long it takes to get it warm. I start with 1 minute and go from there. It comes out juicy and leaves it "close" to medium rare. Still nice and pink in the middle.
I make rice bowls with mine. I usually flavor my rice with saffron or curry powder while cooking, then top with spicy beans (normally canned since we are talking leftovers) and the leftover steak.
Thanks all!
I ended up bringing it to room temp... lightly warming it in some butter (yes butter!) and putting it over couscous, arugula and some currants and pinenuts. Added a drizzle of balsamic. It was pretty darned good.
Slice the steak into fairly thin slices, toast some whole grain bread. Put the steak slices on the toast and top with provolone cheese. Put in toaster oven or oven and top brown/broil until the cheese starts to bubble.
I was kinda interested in these responses....as I have never had any leftover steak!!
If I did, I think I would do the following: bring the steak to room temp, sauter some coarsely chopped onion and bell pepper in butter and a dash of Worcestershire sauce, then just before taking it up, drop the steak slices in a heat a little. I would think it would be great on a buttered toasted sub roll.
re: steakman55
Oh I always get a bigger steak than I know I can eat... just for the leftovers ; )
This was a restaurant called Jar in Los Angeles, and the starters and salad were so amazing I was getting full before the rib eye arrived.

2014 Blue Jeans Week 47
So much to be thankful for!!! We had our first snow the beginning of the week. That was fun! Didn't last too long when it got in the 50's, but it was fun while it lasted. Got our 1/2 a beef for the next year--what a blessing! Piano recital and our grateful tree round out our week. Take a look. . .
Our first snow of the year!
Keeping warm one evening and enjoying a game. The kids like this Q-bitz game.
Cross Country awards banquet was this week. The coach and the girls on the team get their awards.
Picked up our 1/2 a beef we get from a local farmer this week. So grateful we can get that and get our freezer filled for the next year!
The snow is obviously gone and it was pretty warm out today, so I urged Ben to get our Christmas lights up when it was warm versus next week when it is supposed to be cold and rainy. This is not one of his favorite jobs, but he does a great job, and it always looks so nice when we turn them on after Thanksgiving! Thanks sweetie!
Piano recital--Mr J
Miss E
Miss O
Miss A
My boys doing their duets. So proud of all of them! They did awesome!!!!
We continue our tradition of our Tree of Thanks this year. Will keep adding to it this week so we get it completely full. So much to be grateful for!!!!!
Thanks for visiting! Have a great week! Happy Thanksgiving!

Friday thoughts
My random Friday thoughts. . .
Another good quote from my girls which they put in their lockers. A fine line to walk.
Getting ready for Thanksgiving and getting Christmas stuff done. Have 2 gifts I am making this year. Need to get those done. This year our extended families did away with our gifts to siblings/cousins etc. We decided to instead donate the money we would have spent to a cause of our choice. I think this is a great idea! We adopt a child at Christmas, but this year because of that gift change with our families, we are able to adopt two. Adopt a child Christmas shopping is on our list for this weekend along with basketball games, piano recital, taking pictures and getting the house cleaned. Ha! We will see what we actually get done! Also need to make our Grateful tree.
This was last year's. So much to be grateful for! Looking forward to these next couple weeks!
Enjoy your weekend! Have a great one!

What's up Wednesday--Turkey veggie tray and Thanksgiving prep
Getting ready for Thanksgiving here. We have hosted at my house for the last 8 years. Thanksgiving dinner is more close friends than family. My parents will be here plus my sister and her husband, but then just lots of close friends. We look forward to it every year. I am working on my menu and shopping list. Wanted to share what Miss A made last year. She is doing it again this year. It turned out so cute! Her Turkey veggie tray. . .
Just broccoli, peppers, carrots, celery, and then to make the turkey in the veggie dip she cut up the peppers for the feet, wings and beak. The head is a water chestnut, or you could use a mushroom. The eyes are mini chocolate chips. It was a hit!
My 2014 Thanksgiving dinner menu. . .After we eat my friend Robyn and my Mom always share some Thanksgiving stories. Then we always play football and then watch a movie. It is a fun day! Hope you all have a wonderful one! Happy planning!

Went through everyone's clothes to put away summer and get out winter. Good bye t-shirts and shorts!
Got together with 2 of my bestest friends to make cute Christmas wreaths! Sure love my friends!
A dear friend of ours had a baby this week, so we made them dinner and Miss E was so excited to hold the brand new baby!!
Miss O had to make a cell model for biology class. She has been working on it all week. Had to get a picture before it heads to school. Don't ask me what anything represents. Don't know :) I haven't had biology is years and years and way too many years :)
Another basketball game for Miss E. She is working so hard! Sure proud of her!
Piano recitals are next week. All the kids are playing solos, but Ben and Mr J have 2 duets. It is fun to see and hear them practice!

My random Friday thoughts. . .
Love, Love, Love Dr. Seuss! We all have mountains to climb--every single one of us. So get on your way!
My organized Christmas countdown started a few weeks ago. Man, I love that thing. Keeps me sane during the holidays. I don't do everything, and I don't get all done before the end, but it sure helps keep me on track and way more on the ball that if I wasn't following it. Highly recommend it--even if you are starting late, start. It is very helpful! I think I am going on 9 years doing it now. Check it out here.
Getting ready for our first snow of the season this year. . . how exciting, I think :) It is nice when you can just stay home and enjoy it and not have to go anywhere. Otherwise, it isn't so exciting. But my kids are sure excited!!! Bring on the hot chocolate, a roaring fire, a blanket and a good book!
Have a good weekend!

Washington: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly set a challenge for self-improvement, according to which, he would meet a new person outside Facebook everyday.
Zuckerberg is known to have set for himself a list of past challenges, including learning Mandarin, wearing a tie at work for a more serious look and eating animals only if he had killed them.
According to CNN, the CEO is seeking out more conversations with actual humans and as per his own rules for the challenge, he needs to have a face-to-face conversation with the person, not just shake hands or chat online.
Zuckerberg said that the challenges are a way to open himself up to new perspectives and test his willpower.
The CEO further said that he joined community organizations and started teaching a class at a local middle school to have more opportunities to meet non- Facebookers.
The report added him saying that the challenge has turned out to be really easy.

Light rail lost in Pinellas County (St. Petersburg), Florida by 62 to 38 percent. Light rail in Austin is going down by 58 to 42 percent. A transit tax in Polk County, Florida, is also losing.
Not all transportation taxes are losing. Voters in Alameda County (Oakland), California, approved a sales tax that will provide some money for roads but will mostly go to transit and bike/pedestrian paths. Clayton County, Georgia approved a sales tax to bring Atlanta transit into the county. But Maryland voters agreed to protect gas taxes and other highway funds from being diverted to other uses, while Wichita voters rejected a sales tax increase that would have funded a variety of things including transit.
The big news for transportation activists, however, was the strong rejection of light-rail ballot measures in Austin and Pinellas County. Opponents in Austin were better funded than those in Pinellas County, and even some rail supporters joined the opposition in Austin saying that the proposed route wasn't the best place for a light-rail line. Opponents in Pinellas, meanwhile, had to overcome strong support from most local media and borderline-illegal campaigning in favor of rail by the transit agency and other government agencies. So it was a surprise to see that Pinellas voters rejected rail by an even larger margin than those in Austin.

Senior Member
I hardly see him anymore... Is he a buy or not? Thanks.
He really is. Took me a while to learn it and lost plat because of it. Just take time to practice
his Q is insane - you really want to lane with raka or taric
Good but a bit squishy.
Hes weak compared to most ad, he is really hard to snowball with.
But can be useful in some way, Id still rather pick let's say Graves over him.
He's a skill-based/utility AD carry. Not too sure about his damage output and how it compares to other AD carries, but he's a pretty good one IMO. Draven might be more interesting to you though. He is even more skill-based and can deal alot of damage.
Junior Member
Built right he destroys, one of my best AD carries personally
He has a higher skill requirement for comparable or possibly worse results than for example Graves or Corki. He's not objectively bad by any stretch, but given that you have to actually try when playing him he's not the strongest choice.
vvvv Varus is not remotely an AD caster. Hell he's probably less of an AD caster than Graves.
He's a AD caster meaning he relies on his spells for most of his damage as opposed to auto-attacks since he lacks proper steroids for that. He has a very very nice early game and can zone with the best the league has to offer. His damage does fall off late game as using his skills in combination with his attacks is a bit sluggish compared to say Graves, Vayne or Corki. He's definitely worth it and is very fun to play. Don't take a champions absence from the game as a sign of being weak. There are going to be 100 champs soon...that's a lot considering it's 5v5. There are champions I haven't seen get play in months that are still perfectly fine.
Varus has one of the most insane cc's in the entire GAME...as an ad carry. people haven't really learned him well enough to take advantage of that. to be honest, he reminds me of urgot more than anyone else, and should be played on teams that look to use Urgot's initiation

Sunspots Studios & Glassblowing: An Artsy Adventure 20 Nov 2014, 10:41 am
"As difficult as it is to master, glass blowing, in even the simplest piece done by a novice, is simply magical, which, perhaps, has helped this archaic form of art has live on." –Memorials.com
Have you ever watch the process of glassblowing? It is an absolutely fascinating display of art that I s almost like blowing a bubble and then shaping said bubble with careful movements, additional heat, and an artistic eye. This is the magic that happens in Staunton, Virginia's Sunspots Studios.
You may have heard us mention Sunspots before, and that's because we're huge fans of their work, displays, and hands-on activities. Not only do they feature daily glassblowing demonstrations, but they also offer a gallery and gift shop where you can peruse and purchase one-of-a-kind pieces—jewelry, vases, paperweights, hummingbird feeders, oil candles, ornaments and more. And speaking of ornaments, one of our favorite aspect of Sunspots Studios is their "Blow Your Own Ornament" activities.
Through the rest of November, you have the opportunity to join a professional glassblower in crafting your own ornament. There is nothing quite as satisfying as holding a creation of your very own, especially one that makes a beautifully unique souvenir or a special gift for friends or family. Create a traditional ornament to hang on your inevitable Christmas tree. Choose a glow-in-the-dark ornament to add a holiday radiance to your decorations. Craft a pumpkin ornament that will perfectly accompany your fall décor. Every piece is unique, and the best part about blowing your own ornament is that it is uniquely YOU!
Sunspots is joining in the Black Friday brouhaha and offering their own special opportunity that will run through the next few Fridays: Blowing your own ornament usually only lasts until 4pm, but starting on Black Friday, additional appointments will be offers from 5pm to 7pm.
Sunspots is only 20 minutes from the Iris Inn, so if you're on a B&B getaway here, take a bit of time for a one-of-a-kind glassblowing adventure.

Cherish Your Cheat Day with Chocolate Chess Pie 13 Nov 2014, 12:50 pm
As with most fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple memory aid that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order chocolate dishes: any month whose name contained the letter A, E, or U is the proper time for chocolate." –Sandra Boynton
Whether you want something new and delicious for your upcoming Thanksgiving meal, or it's a cheat day on your diet and you need some sugar stat, then we've got everything you're looking for. This chocolate chess pie, which was published in the Virginia Bed & Breakfast Cookbook, is not only a longtime favorite of ours, but is also particularly easy to make (especially if you use a pre-made pie shell). So, without further ado, here is the recipe:
1 9-inch pie shell
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
Dash of salt
1 small can evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp cocoa
Preheat oven to 325°. In a bowl, mix all ingredients together. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake for 24 minutes to 1 hour.
Want to try out our recipe? Share the results with us on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter, using the hashtag #IrisInnVA!

5 Things We're Thankful for at the Iris Inn 5 Nov 2014, 11:34 am
Thanksgiving will be here soon, but that's certainly not the only day of the year to be grateful for all that we have. While "30 Days of Thanks" has been a trending subject on social media, we figure that a list of 30 things we're thankful for would probably be a bit long. So, we've narrowed it down to 5 things that we're thankful for at the Iris Inn:
- Our guests. Of course our guests has to be number 1 on our list! Without guests, a B&B is pointless. You make us what we are, and we are so thankful for the continued support and kind words that you offer, both in person and online.
- The view. Even after all these years of living on a mountaintop in the Shenandoah Valley, the view never ceases to take our breath away. From the colorful sunsets to the snow-capped winter scenery, the views are ever-changing and ever-beautiful.
- Breakfast. There's no better way to start the day than with a hearty, Southern meal, and we're thankful not only to partake in them, but also to be able to share them with our guests.
- Katie the Border Collie (and Shadow!). Katie is beloved by all who meet her, and really, she's more of a canine innkeeper than just a pet. Her tail chasing, people herding, and gentle manner are only a few of the reasons everybody loves Katie.
- The Shenandoah Valley. We already mentioned the view, but the Valley is so much more than just the aesthetics. There is a vibrant history and culture here that we enjoy exploring, and it includes everything from local wine to Virginia history.
Happy 30 Days of Thanks! What are you thankful for?

Savor the Brew at Seven Arrows in Fishersville, VA 20 Oct 2014, 1:19 pm
"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." –Dave Berry
New Year's Eve at a microbrewery? Sounds like a plan to us! On December 31, 2014, you will have the opportunity to attend the grand opening of a brand new local brewery, Seven Arrows, in Fishersville, Virginia (only a quick drive away from the Iris Inn). Seven Arrows is the product of Aaron and Melissa Allen, a couple who offers experience in chemical engineering, software engineering, and a love of good, quality beer.
And speaking of the beer, you're probably interested in the types of brews that Seven Arrows will be offering:
Eventide IPA—"Based on an American Style IPA" with a "prominent hop aroma with a piny/spicy character."
Sinistral Wheat—a Bavarian style wheat beer with a creamy gold color, fluffy white head, banana, and cloves.
Aurora Pils—a Bohemian Pilsner-style brew with a spicy, floral flavor and a deep burnished gold color.
Boreal Amber—"a traditional American Amber Ale that offers tremendous drinkability while at the same time provides sweet biscuity and caramel notes combined with clean finishing hop bitterness."
The Witching Hour Black Lager— am alty, chocolate beer with hints of roasted and caramel malt flavors.
Hermenator Doppelbock: A seasonal winter beer with intensely malty, chocolate, toasty, and caramel flavors.
Click here for a full list of Seven Arrows' brews.
We look forward to trying out this new brewery. Congratulations to Aaron and Melissa on the upcoming grand opening!

Guest Blogger: Shadow Stays at the Iris Inn 14 Oct 2014, 8:28 am
Hello, friends of the Iris Inn. My name is Shadow, and I'm a friend both of Katie the Border Collie and of her humans Dave and Heidi Lanford. At this moment, my humans are selling their condo, and while they're taking care of all that goes along with the sale, I'm staying at the Iris Inn as a guest, and I am very pleased to be offering my canine services as guest blogger.
So, what is it like staying at the Iris Inn? Well, first you should know that I am originally from Washington D.C., so I am accustomed to the small, quiet space of a city apartment. My humans wake in the morning, have their breakfast, and head out the door to work, so I spend my days sleeping and milling around the apartment. It's not an especially adventurous life, but I do enjoy the laid-back quiet of it all. My humans return home at 6:00 p.m. every day, and we enjoy dinner together, a bit of TV watching, a walk outside, and then snuggling up to go to sleep.
It should come as no surprise that the Iris Inn is a tiny bit different than my home life. Here at the inn, there are people coming and going all the time, always bustling with activity, whether it be dragging luggage, collecting breakfast plates, or hurrying with arms full of clean laundry to fold. I must say that I don't mind all of this activity! Everyone thinks I'm cute, and I certainly love the attention. Katie the Border Collie also makes a wonderful companion, and she's quickly shown me the ropes here.
Going outside is a bit scary, though! Remember, I'm if used to a one-bedroom apartment in the city, so the Iris Inn seems like a whirlwind of trees and cabins and doors, and I get confused as to where I'm going and how I get back to the Great Room of the inn. That's why I'm especially thankful for Katie and her humans, who guide me back to where I need to be.
I'll still be here at the inn for a little while, so if you want to come visit Katie and myself, you can reserve one of cabins, cottages, or suites. I promise to greet you when you arrive!

Ghosts of Staunton Walking Tour: A Frighteningly Good Time 6 Oct 2014, 10:33 am
Many people are fascinated by the supernatural. Just look at the popularity of otherworldly horror and thriller films. It comes as no surprise that October, the month of that scare-fest known as Halloween, is a popular time for events with spooky themes. One such local event is the Ghosts of Staunton Walking Tour, presented by Black Raven Paranormal.
Staunton, Virginia offers quite a few stories of paranormal activity. From Emilio's Italian Restaurant to Mary Baldwin College, there are ghostly experiences to be discovered and explored all over the Queen City in a number of different ways:
- Historic Walking Ghost Tour- This 90-minute tour rooted in the history of the city. You'll walk nearly a mile throughout Staunton as your incredibly knowledgeable guide shares the various paranormal occurrences that have been claimed throughout the year. This is a fascinating, factual experience, so if you're trying to avoid theatricality and cheesiness, then this will be perfect for you.
- Spirit Box Depot Tour- "Step back in time as we tour and explore one of Staunton's most haunted locations, the Depot Station…Over the course of 150 years though, tragic events would come with the Railroad. Events from the past that still haunt the depot to this very day." A spirit box is a device that uses radio waves to attempt to contact the other side, and your Depot Tour will include a live spirit box session. This is an excellent tour for those who love history and potentially creepy experiences.
- Haunts of Dejarnette Sanatorium- "Join us for this 90 minute tour as we discuss the history of the Sanatorium, Dr DeJarnette and the many tortured souls that still linger at this location to this very day. Do these tortured souls still wander the halls and the grounds of the sanatorium seeking to escape the horrors of DeJarnette?"
Happy Touring! (Don't forget to book your room at the Iris Inn.)

Golfer Extraordinaire: Hannah Savidge 17 Sep 2014, 6:52 am
As at only 16 years of age, sophomore Hannah Savidge of Wilson Memorial High School became the captain of her school's golf team. This is quite an accomplishment in and of itself, but it's made even more impressive, because Hannah is the only girl on her all-boys team, making her the only female golfer in the Shenandoah District.
Hannah is the granddaughter of two of our Iris Inn guests, Jack and Clem, who visit every so often to see their granddaughter play. Jack and Clem proudly say of their granddaughter, "She is too much – made captain of the all-boys, except her, H.S. team as a sophomore at age 16. College scholarship in the making."
We recently had the chance to interview Hannah, so keep reading to learn more about this extraordinary young woman:
How long have you been playing golf and what inspired you to begin? "I started playing golf when I was 11. My dad is really into golf and he had just gotten new clubs, so we went to the driving range and I began hitting his old clubs. When he realized I was hitting them well, we purchased my own set and that is where it all started."
Are your teammates supportive of having a girl play with them? "My teammates are very supportive. They are very encouraging, and they always watch out for me. This year we've gotten extremely close and I look at them like my brothers."
Do you plan to continue golfing in college? I would absolutely love the chance to play golf in college. A few schools have shown interest and it's all very exciting.
Do you have any words of encouragement for other female athletes? "To female athletes competing against all males, my advice would be to not become intimidated. Being intimidated and nervous was the biggest challenge I faced when I started playing against the guys. Soon though, I realized that most of them were really nice and I was on their skill level. So be confident and do not worry what others think."
We wish Hannah the best of luck!

A Virginia Vintner Venture: Barboursville and the Palladio 8 Sep 2014, 6:17 pm
Here in Virginia, we love our wineries, and we're lucky to have close to 30 wineries and vineyards within 30 miles of the Iris Inn. One such vineyard is Barboursville, a stunning, historic estate. Barboursville is the only American winery founded by Italian winemaker Gianni Zonin, and it is "built on the grounds of Barboursville, the home of the 19th Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, James Barbour" (Wikipedia).
So, how about their wine? Barboursville is known more than anything else for their big, bold reds (though they offer white wines as well). There is, of course, the Octagon, which VirginiaWine.org calls "the most renowned red wine of Virginia." Sip their Barbera, savor their Cabernet Sauvignon, and taste the Nebbiolo. These are quality wines rich in both European and American tradition. And what goes better with wine than fantastic cuisine?
The Palladio Restaurant is an offshoot of Barboursville Vineyard where wine and food pairings elicit the full potential of the wine. Award-winning Chef Melissa Close Hart will treat your palate to bursts of perfectly paired flavors. For your appetizer, choose a mushroom and spinach salad, goat and garlic sausage, or a house-made charcuterie. For your first course, sink your teeth into bigoli pasta, fresh ricotta ravioli, or roasted fennel & potato gnocchi.
For the second course, Palladio offers everything from vegetable filled pastry to braised and seared pork shoulder. And what dinner would be complete with dessert? How about a ladyfinger sponge cake dipped in espresso, an orange olive oil cake, or a chocolate and hazelnut tart? Break out your "business casual" attire, and prepare for indulgence at Palladio Restaurant. (Quick Tip: Lunch is casual at the Palladio, but a jacket is required for dinner.)
Happy sipping!

An Extreme Anniversary at the Iris Inn 1 Sep 2014, 1:30 am
Weekend guests here at the Iris Inn are celebrating a wedding anniversary, leaving their kids at home while they take a much-needed vacation together. Ann and Rolando fit all these criteria, but their getaway was anything but relaxing. They arrived at the inn and settled into their room, but then their weekend took a turn for the extreme, as they participated in Wintergreen Resort's Virginia Super Spartan Race.
So, what is the Spartan Race? It's an extreme race that is certainly not for the faint of heart. In Wintergreen's own words, "We said 'adventure' right? Well folks let's get adventurous! There's no dress code, per se, but you'll be running in mud and water, climbing hills and mountains, crawling under barbed wire and jumping fire. So choose wisely my friends."
(Furthermore is something called HH12HR, "12 Hour Hurricane Heat," which "tests each athlete's physical and mental toughness," and those quality then get to participate in the Peak Death Race.)
Congratulations to Ann and Rolando for participating in and completing this race!
If you're interested in participating in extreme sports, then you may want to sign up for Wintergreen's Tough Mudder mud-run, which they call "absolute toughest mud-run out there," "meant as a true test of all-around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie." This mud-run was designed by British Special Forces and features barbed-wire crawls, electric shocks, ice-cold plunges, and the infamous FireWalker gauntlet of flames. Tough Mudder is scheduled for October 22 and 23, 2014, so book your room at the Iris Inn now, and start your training.

I too have the same engine and around town MPG varies quite a lot.
If I go into the City i get about 30mpg when the weather is warm, around 25mpg is it's cold.
Where I live is quite hilly and when it is warm I get around 26mpg and around 22mpg when it's cold.
I would say that I do a 50/50 split between Urban and Motorway driving and I average 33mpg.
18mpg sounds very low, in fact, I'm sure the 2.5L ST does better than that

The fort was good.. well maintained.. Rajasthan is famous for the fort, if you really want to see a good fort go for this fort
this fort is awesome, with a 36 km walled perimeter, this can be converted into an organized two day trek - with intermediate stops for refreshments etc, along with a tour guide who can explain the rich history of the fort, we made two trips to the fort as we were not satisfied with one trip, however unruly and loud...
Amazing fort. Impressive bulwarks with a rich history. One can get a beautiful view of sunset and also see its long wall snaking in the hills of the Aravalis. A must visit, if you are in this area.
I would call myself fool because when we decided to go Kumbhalgarh fort my first reaction was like OK. but believe me when we started our road trip from Udaipur to Kumbhalgarh it was priceless experience. what a beautiful nature view of jungles, rivers,and mountains that motivates to drive more and more. Kumbhalgarh Fort is build 3600 Ft above the...
Great experience so steeped in history, wonderful to see how the Majarajas lived. Amazing architecture and a place to just take in all this history
The fort is located on top of a mountain within the wild untamed Aravali's, and the climb up the steep ramps can give you an idea why this fortress was never conquered. There are no decorations here, the fortress is a grim stone bastion that reminds you of the constant strife and struggle for survival faced by the Rajput rulers....
Good looking, but it's not so beautiful as Ambala Fort nearby Jaipur. Price for Indian 5 rupees, for foreign 100 rupees. In inside cafe same rate paranta for foreign 140, Amul lassi 45, no menu.
Built on top of the mountain range, one wonders how such a beautiful fort was built so long ago. But beware - be prepared for a breath-sapping climb up the steps and ramps and do take drinking water with you.
the setting of the fort is beautiful - with rolling green hills on all sides. the fort is well hidden and one has to climb, they say, 1000ft from the entrance to get to the quarters of royalty. Most of the rooms however are locked. there is no view out as the courtyards are surrounded by high walls giving the...
Kumbalgarh is an amazing fort and is located very strategically. It has a large number of temples in its premises and the ramparts have to be seen to be believed. This should be visited if planning to visit Rajasthan

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday cabin in Hayward - Tiger Cat Flowage Cabin
1 bedroom plus sleeping loft, 1 full bathroom, adjacent cabin available.
This is not your everyday rustic North Woods cabin... but rather it's a beautifully restored rustic cabin, sited in a maple and birch forest overlooking a small wilderness lake with loons, otters, and bald eagles. The fishing, canoeing, and kayaking is superb on this clear water lake. Located within the Golden Triangle of the Hayward Lakes Region, our cabin is ten minutes from downtown Hayward, and five minutes from the Birkie ski trail and the CAMBA mountain biking trails. The attention to detail in the design and decor of the cabin is what makes this a rare find. The main cabin has a queen bed in the bedroom and twin beds in the sleeping loft. If needed, the adjacent Swedish cabin with twin beds can be rented.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
Guestbook comments from the manager
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 21, 2013 for a stay in July 2013
Last year, we took my kids to Europe for 16 days. It was life changing, but exhausting.
This year the kids wanted a vacation in a cabin on a lake with a dock. I am so happy our family found your cabin on the Internet. According to them, it was exactly what they wanted.
We had two meals of fish from what we caught off your dock. My daughter read over 35 hours! We loved no cable TV, and bought $5 Walmart movies for 4 nights together.
I read 2 books and was refreshed from my frequently political job. My wife loved the fires each night, enjoying smores and hot dogs cooked over the flames with her kids.
We also enjoyed the Lumberjack World Championships and the quiet hospitality of Hayward, Wisconsin.
The raccoon that visited us nightly made quite a mess of our garbage on night 3, so we tied the garbage! But we enjoyed him looking in through the door each night.
The family of Loons called each night. We even watched them feed their young two nights.
The cabin was clean and inviting. We had everything we needed. And the lake, because it is smaller, was very quiet -- which was a huge bonus.
Warmest regards and thanks from the Eckhoff's. You have a treasure in this cabin and we enjoyed sharing it.

Repeat Visitors to Elk Springs ResortReviewer: Tom and Family from Batavia, OH - Friday, April 20, 2012
Cabin: A Desire FulFilled
My wife and I are repeat visitors to Elk Springs Resort. We make our home in Batavia, OH but love to visit Gatlinburg as often as we can. Our most recent stay was in November 2011 and our second stay at 'A Desire Fulfilled.'
Our first stay was for our 1st wedding anniversary in November 2009. We were so impressed with the quality of the cabin and surrounding area we booked the cabin again for our most recent trip to the Smokies. We stayed for three nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary and see the fall colors but wanted to stay longer. Unfortunately, commitments back home meant we had to make the best of the short time we had for our vacation.
My wife discovered Elk Springs Resort as she was searching for cabins in Gatlinburg. We had stayed at a different cabin with another company on our first trip to Gatlinburg in 2008 and wanted something nicer. Based on the pictures and the fact that the cabin has a rain tower shower we booked our trip. We were not disappointed.
The pictures you see on Elk Springs website are what you get. We enjoyed the upscale feel and the privacy offered by the surrounding trees. We enjoyed the fact that we could stay connected with the free WI-FI then disconnect by enjoying the hot tub or sitting in front of the fireplace.
Our favorite amenity hands down is the rain tower shower. It is truly something you need to see and experience. We loved being able to start the day with a warm, relaxing shower. We had considered trying a different cabin in the resort for our last trip, but the rain tower shower brought us back.
When we weren't enjoying the cabin, we made sure to visit some of our favorite places and explored some new ones. Since the weather was good, we took advantage of some of the hiking trails in the Smokies. This most recent trip marks the first time either of us had seen bears. We were fortunate enough to spot a few cubs playing by the side of the road as we made our way to the roaring fork motor nature trail. I wish I could attach a picture of them but unfortunately due to my operator error the picture never took.
Our favorite hike had to be the trail to Abrams Falls. It took us some time to get there but it was truly worth it. It doesn't get more relaxing than sitting on the rocks next to the waterfall. This is a hike we would recommend to everyone.
One activity we made sure to do was revisit the same place where we played mini-golf on our honeymoon in Gatlinburg. My wife would claim she beat me but I let her win.
We would highly recommend Elk Springs Resort to anyone looking for a great cabin that is convenient to downtown Gatlinburg but away from the heaviest traffic. We love the fact that it is close to all our favorite places including Santa's Claus-et in the Arts & Crafts district, Pancake Pantry (don?t get me started on the chocolate chip pancakes), and Ogle's Brick Oven Pizza and Pasta. Our advice to future visitors ? you can't go wrong with Elk Springs Resorts. We would consider trying another one of their cabins but that rain tower shower keeps calling us back. We are sure that whatever cabin they choose they will enjoy their stay. Thanks for having us. We hope to be back soon.
***management comment: we have 4 tower shower plans in our luxury inventory including Snuggled Inn, Desire Fulfilled, Secret Garden and Spur of the Moment

Paddington – Trailer 2
From the beloved novels by Michael Bond and producer David Heyman (HARRY POTTER), PADDINGTON tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear (voiced by Firth) who travels to the city in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imaginedâuntil he meets the kindly Brown family, who read the label around his neck that says âPlease look after this bear. Thank you,â and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.

Metal Gear Scanlon 2 - Part 07
Become a Premium member for $35/year!
Nintendo's all-stars assemble once again, resulting in one of the best reasons to own a Wii U (and eight GameCube controllers).
The move to more powerful consoles has resulted in a prettier looking wrestling game, but also a far less enjoyable one.
Far Cry 4's open-world provides ludicrous moments and enough chaotic fun to make it worth your while.
Concept »
Something terrible has happened. Your squad is either dead or missing. But there's still hope: a spare pistol that conveniently wasn't lost earlier. Now, about the army of enemies between you and salvation...
A character who gets washed ashore on some island or other remote place.
The Desert Rangers are a faction that is dedicated to helping various people and communities survive the horror of nuclear post-apocalypse.
A type of gameplay where the main goal is to eat or collect a certain amount of stuff. At the same time, enemies will try to eat the player character.
To elude, escape, or get away from. Some games require you to escape from some people or things to perform some objective or avoid death.
Foraging is the ability to effectively gather food and drink from ones surroundings. Rangers, druids, and elves in general often excel in this skill.
Who loves you and who do you love?
More effective than any hospital. These games let you heal damage; ranging from a black eye to a gunshot wound, just by having a snack.
A game in which the "seeker" covers his/her eyes while the other players try to find a good hiding spot. It is then up to the seeker to find the hiding players.
A concept where players have the ability to conceal themselves from enemies. Common hiding places in games include closets, lockers, or even just crouching in the shadows.
"Horde" is a type of multiplayer game mode in which players battle co-operatively against increasingly difficult waves of computer-controlled enemies.
Games where you control more than one character, or are a part of a team, and where it is crucial that every team member survives.
Instant death is a situation where the player-controlled character loses his life immediately.
The quickness of that demise is often a stark departure from the balance of power, and sometimes the rules, established by the developers during the rest of the game.
Placing the player in an environment and making them feel alone. Games often use this for atmospheric effect.
Horror games influenced predominantly by the look, feel, and themes of Japanese horror cinema, or non-horror games that allude to the cultural horror aesthetic. J-Horror, or psychological horror, is sometimes classified as a sub-genre of survival horror.
Necromorphs are the enemies in the Dead Space franchise. The Necromorph infection uses deceased bodies as hosts and forms hideously mutated shapes to adapt to more effective killing styles. Originally encountered on deep-space mining colony Aegis VII, it is believed that the infection originated from the Red Marker.
Some game modes don't allow the player to respawn once killed, forcing them to think strategically and to try to stay alive.
A concept usually found in "roguelike" games where the game must be restarted if you are killed but also found in strategy games such as Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics where characters die if they are defeated in battle. Often used as a significant plot device.
The act of mimicking a dead body in order to fool an adversary.
The act of acquiring resources for the purpose of building structures and/or unit construction. Resource gathering is a staple of the RTS (Real Time Strategy) genre.
Using stealth often requires the player to accomplish their objective without being detected by enemies. Methods of detection can vary from game to game, and can be based on an enemy's line of sight, how quiet the player is, or even how the player interacts with the environment.
The Stranded are the humans that couldn't get to the Jacinto Plateau during Emergence Day and were left behind. They are considered thieves by the COGs due to their habit of stealing equipment off dead bodies, and they see the COG as "facist pigs" for leaving them behind.
Popularized by franchises such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark, these games typically involve a strong implication of danger, vulnerable protagonists, and disturbing monsters.
Some games force you to try and survive as long as possible without losing, or tasks you with surviving a certain number of "waves" of enemies before granting you victory.
When a populated area is overrun by legions of the undead. They are often accompanied by demons or parasitic lifeforms.
Zombies, more accurately called the walking dead, are reanimated corpses who feed on the living, and have become a ubiquitous video game enemy. They often move slowly, but can be deadly in large numbers, which is unfortunately how they tend to travel. Shotgun time!

He also likes turkey weiners, gluten-free cake, bananas, pork & beans (the deep-browned not the original), brown rice macaroni with ketchup, soft-boiled eggs and pork roast.
Good luck with your daughter, I hope she starts eating soon.
