State Legislatures
CALIFORNIA ELECTRIC RESTRUCTURING. California Assemblywoman Diane Martinez, chairwoman of the Utilities and Commerce Committee, has introduced two new bills aimed at protecting consumers in a competitive market. But the measures already have been put on hold for this year. The first bill, AB 579, would cut rates for residential and small-volume commercial customers by 20 percent, rather than by 10 percent as promised in the state's restructuring act, AB 1890.
THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY HAD A novel idea: For power plants and sources relying on devices to control air emissions, rather than attempt to monitor the actual physical emissions to determine compliance with federal law, it simply would require inspections and tests of the performance of the control device. %n1%n
This strategy was formalized in the EPA's compliance assurance monitoring (CAM) rule signed Oct. 17, 1997. The EPA's theory is that if the control device is working properly, it is likely pollutant emissions fall within the required limits.
THE RAPID DEREGULATION OF THE BULK POWER MARKET has exposed utilities and power generators to the harsh reality of spot price volatility. This new reality begs the question: How can merchant generators, independent power producers and investor-owned utilities analyze their risk exposure when energy prices vary daily or even hourly?
The answer lies with spark spread options (em the link between electric power and gas prices.
ON THE LAST DAY OF 1997, A U.S. DISTRICT COURT IN Texas struck down sections of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that prevent former Bell System operating companies (BOCs) from entering certain lines of business, including interstate (and interLATA) long-distance. Some see the case as a clear victory for the BOCs. Others say it disrupts the delicate compromise forged by Congress among many diverse interests. In truth, the court's decision prompts a single question: Can Congress single out the BOCs for special treatment?
UTILITY HOUSE CALLS. Michigan Gov. John Engler (R) signed into law a bill making it a felony to impersonate a utility employee to enter private property for criminal purposes. The new law calls for those convicted to be imprisoned for not more than two years and to pay a maximum fine of $1,000, or both.
ELECTRIC RESTRUCTURING. Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar (R) signed into law an electric restructuring bill for the state. Edgar noted that concerns over the bill were addressed by the state's two largest utilities, Commonwealth Edison and Illinois Power Co.
AMID WORRIES THAT RESIDENTIAL CONSUMERS MAY NOT benefit from competition comes a study that shows at least one industry will: metering. This market is expected to grow an average of 5 percent per year through 2002.
By 2002, the metering industry is expected to be worth $3.1 billion, up from $2.4 billion last year, says Metering for Utilities: Riding the Wave of Deregulation, a new book from Business Communications Co.
Overall, meter reading systems are expected to log the highest average annual growth rate, about 16 percent each year over the next five years.
announced their intention to withdraw from the Southwest Power Pool regional reliability council and join the neighboring Southeastern Electric Reliability Council. The announcement shocked the SPP and its members, plus other industry observers and stakeholders.
While significant in number, the withdrawals do not necessarily signal widespread displeasure with SPP's initiatives and performance.
THE RECENT SLOW-DOWN IN RAIL SHIPMENTS OF WESTERN coal has begun to claim victims in the electric utility industry. One of the largest in recent years, the current fuel "shortage" has hit big investor-owned utilities, small municipalities and co-ops. Increased alternative fuel and replacement purchased power cost utilities more than $150 million in 1997.
Union Pacific rail system is the source of most of the slow-down in western coal deliveries. As the company works to integrate recently acquired Southern Pacific railroad into its operations, it has encountered many difficulties.
Bruce W. Radford
Go figure. Plans to shut down nuclear generation in Ontario should not affect electricity supplies this winter within the United States, despite early rumors of chaos and rising natural gas prices. However, an unexpected slowdown in coal delivery by some U.S. railroads has "seriously reduced" on-site stockpiles of coal at some generating plants in three regional reliability councils - ERCOT, SERC and SPP - particularly those dependent on coal from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming.

Girl Meets World News
Good news for GMW fans!
You can't watch the premiere of "Girl Meets World" quite yet...but you can watch the opening credits! Disney released the opening credits to the "Boy Meets World" spinoff online today, which includes the opening theme song. It's definitely a song of it's time: It features some sweet, aspirational vocals as sung by a young pop star, giving it a Katy Perry/Ariana Grande sort of sound.
Ladies and gentlemen, your spin-off has arrived! "Girl Meets World," the spin-off of the classic 90's sitcom "Boy Meets World," has been a subject of much discussion on the Internet ever since it was announced. A while back, we even got a look at the first clip from the show. But the premiere date for the show had been kept under wraps...until now.
The first trailer for "Girl Meets World" is here. And frankly, we're not sure what to think. The 30-second teaser for the "Boy Meets World" spinoff has everything that a growing Disney Channel show needs: Two fashionably-dressed teenagers with just the slightest hint of rebellion, a loving but buzzkill dad, heart-to-heart talks and inspirational messages. Oh, and purple.
William Daniels, who played Mr. Feeny, has confirmed he will return to the Disney show... will Rider Strong and Will Friedle, who also visited the set, make their appearances?
Danielle Fishel tells Maxim how the name "Topanga" came to be, how she and Ben Savage went on a date, and how Bob Saget weirded out her entire family in the new spread. Oh, and she wears lingerie.
With the casting of the final family member, brother Elliot, shooting for the "Boy Meets World" reprisal can finally begin.
'Boy Meets World' series creator Michael Jacobs reveals the inside details on the upcoming sequel/spin-off "Girl Meets World". What should fans expect?
Some characters in the upcoming "Girl Meets World" have been revealed. How do they make you feel?

Create your own postcard-worthy snapshots of Cape Sounion's Temple of Poseidon on a scenic trip from Athens.
2 reviews
Fabulous tour. We had both been to Athens some 35 plus years ago so it was great to return. I had remembered Athens being very filthy and unappealing but found the city and particularly the Acropolis being well cared for and clean. Lunch was fabulous (Greek buffet) at the Intercontinental Hotel. Our guide, Helen, was very knowlegeable and responsive to people's questions and needs. The climb to the top is quite steep and on uneven terrain. Wear good footwear. The city tour showed hightlights of Athens followed with a coastal drive to Cape Sounion. Coastal drive was just spectacular and the Temple of Poseiden was lovely albeit very small compared to the Acropolis.

Our tour operator met us at the ship and gave us a great tour of the city, Acropolis, brought us to a fantastic place for lunch, brought us to the Mediterranean so we could stick our foot in and see how warm the water was. We toured Sounion - which was great timing - no one at Poseidon's temple but the 4 of us.

We weree met at the port by Nick of Athens By Txi, a company I found on Cruise Critic posts. It was a great choice. We booked the Athens and Cape Sounion full tour and saw the highlights of Athens in the morning and then traveled to Cape Sounion and the temple of Poseidon in the afternoon. We finished the day with fabulous giros that we asked nick to order as the menu was only in Greek. We enjoyed everything about our day. The Temple of Poseidan was a short uphill walk on a mostly newly paved walkway. The ruins were beautiful overlooking the sea.

The Temple is located in a lovely scenery and really deserves a visit, especially if you have seen Athenms already (it was my 3rd time there). However, the excursion offered by NCL was quite disappointing as we spent more time at a bar near the beach in Vouliagmeni (without the chance to go into the sea, though!) than at the site of the temple itself.

The Temple didn't disappoint. Fantastic views from the cape...tour guide was good but sometimes could hear or understand her.

The No. 6 Virginia women's lacrosse team opened up the 2014 home slate with a 16-12 loss to No. 9 Loyola Saturday at Turf Field. The game was moved from Klöckner Stadium to Turf Field because of the recent snowstorm.
The loss dropped Virginia to 0-2 on the young season.
The Cavs led 5-3 at halftime, but watched as the Greyhounds scored 13 goals in the second period.
"This was definitely a disappointing outing for us," Virginia head coach Julie Myers said. "I thought we played really sloppy from start to finish. There were a couple of moments where I thought we would get our rhythm going and our feet under us, pick up some of those balls and shoot a little bit better, but time and again, we just blew the opportunity. Loyola was as sloppy as us in the first half, but they cleaned it up in the second. I give them credit for winning that game."
Three Cavalier players logged hat tricks with senior Maddy Keeshan and juniors Courtney Swan and Casey Bocklet each scoring three goals.
Virginia jumped out to a 2-0 lead with junior Morgan Stephens and sophomore Kelly Boyd scoring goals 18 seconds apart in the first. Bocklet added a score with 15:26 remaining to give UVa a 3-0 edge.
Virginia took a 5-2 lead with 51 seconds left in the first on an unassisted goal by Keeshan.
Loyola tied the game by scoring two goals in the first 1:45 of the second half. After Bocklet gave Virginia the lead back five minutes later on a free position goal, Loyola struck back quickly, scoring three goals in less than a minute to take an 8-6 lead they would not relinquish.
Senior goalkeeper Liz Colgan had 14 saves, including nine in the first period.
The Loyola game is the first of five-straight home games for the Cavaliers. Virginia will next host Richmond on Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 5 p.m. at Klöckner Stadium.

Watch: Rihanna Twerks To Drake
The 25-year old singer's pal Melissa Forde posted a video to her Instagram account on Monday, and it features the sexy star getting down to the sweet sounds of Drake.
There's no unicorn onesie involved, but that doesn't mean it's not a quality twerk session.
Rihanna is seen wearing grey pants and the black crop-top she donned during a chance run-in with Jennifer Lawrence that same evening.
Rihanna's twerking soundtrack choice is sure to raise some eyebrows. The Bajan beauty's ex Chris Brown has famously feuded with rapper Drake (a supposed former flame of Riri's) -- the two of them got into a widely publicized altercation at a New York City nightclub last year.
Before heading to Berlin for her Diamonds World Tour on Tuesday, Rihanna was busy in Paris attending Haute Couture Fashion Week. Looks like she had time for an impromptu dance party, though.
Check out Rihanna and her twerking skills, above.

Young Population Represents Potential for Methodist Church in Cambodia
by Andrew J. Schleicher
A youthful population represents a strong potential for the Methodist Church of Cambodia, which is emerging from the joint efforts of five mission organizations.
"The population is very young; more than half of the current church membership is in their twenties and thirties," says the Rev. Jong Sung Kim, an executive with the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries. "They respond to the gospel enthusiastically."
With more than 180 congregations, most started over the last decade, the Methodist Church of Cambodia is a Mission Initiative of Global Ministries, the mission agency of the denomination. Health ministries and work with children, including orphans, are high on the list of Methodist priorities in the Southeast Asian country.
"A major challenge is to cultivate the local leadership," Rev. Kim said, "and we are making significant progress. There are now five indigenous Cambodian district superintendents. The church has a goal of electing a Cambodian bishop by 2016."
Cooperative Mission
Six years ago Global Ministries joined four other groups to form one Methodist denomination in Cambodia. The others are:
The collaboration continues as the Methodist Church of Cambodia takes shape.
Of the five, the Korean Methodists have been in Cambodia for the longest time and are responsible for starting some 100 of the 180 congregations. The United Methodist Church is the driving force for 80 congregations, while the Chinese developed several local churches. The church in Singapore has emphasized education and ministry to women and orphans while starting 15 congregations.
Conversations began in 1998 regarding building one Methodist denomination for the country, but the official engagement did not happen until a few years later. Within a year of the first meeting of the one church, it ordained its first pastors, all graduates of the jointly sponsored Bible school that opened in 2000.
The mission is currently overseen by a coordinating board with representatives from each of the sponsoring denominations' mission agencies, including the missionaries who are on the ground in Cambodia. The United Methodist Church now has 11 missionaries in Cambodia. Bishop Robert Solomon of Singapore is the bishop in charge.
Nation with a Stormy Recent History
A Khmer (Cambodian) nation-state can be traced back at least 1,200 years, with the borders shifting with political and demographic changes in the region. Buddhism is the traditional religion. Cambodia is today bordered by Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and the Gulf of Thailand. The history has several rough spots.
One of the roughest occurred in the 1970s, Cambodia was controlled by Pol Pot and a group called the Khmer Rouge. Under this regime, 1.7 million people died or were executed, about 25 percent of Cambodia's population. What is known today as "the Killing Fields" is part of that legacy. The young people in Cambodia today--the ones joining the Methodist Church--are those who were born in the baby boom after the mass killings.
The Khmer Rouge banned all religion. While Rev. Kim says there is still much influence in the country from Buddhism, the young people are looking elsewhere for religious foundations. Up until a few years ago, 350 years of Christian mission work has had little effect on the people, but Rev. Kim is optimistic. "We have opportunity to evangelize the young people and to reshape the nation as a whole," he says.
"As a young church with limited trained leadership and with limited sources of income there is a challenge to grow without becoming more dependent on outside income than it is now," according to the Rev. James Gulley, a former missionary to Cambodia who is also the Global Ministries coordinator of the 2009 Cambodia Consultation (see below) and an UMCOR advisor on Community Health and Agricultural Development. "Right now [the church] is highly dependent."
Early support for the United Methodist mission work came from the Swiss-French United Methodist Annual Conference. Today, congregations in Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Ohio are significant among the partners in the Cambodia initiative. Korean American United Methodist churches have provided significant support for the Bible school and in building churches.
Community Health and Agricultural Development
As the church rejoices in the spiritual growth of the people, it also addresses the people's physical needs. Cambodia is one of the world's poorest countries, with more than a third of the nation living on less than $1 per day. The Khmer Rouge decimated the nation's infrastructure and eliminated the educational system and all currency. Those systems are now being rebuilt.
In the fall of 2004, Rev. Gulley began 14 months as an agricultural missionary in Cambodia. He had previously made contacts in the country while serving on staff at Global Ministries.
At that time there were 58 United Methodist churches. Rev. Gulley recalls visiting some of them and asking whether there was any interest in working on agricultural issues. Rev. Gulley initially staffed a program put together by the Finnish United Methodist Church with support from the Finnish government.
Since Rev. Gulley's return to the United States, the agricultural program has been combined with a community health initiative to form the Community Health and Agricultural Development (CHAD) project. Missionaries continue the efforts to identify and train indigenous leaders and participants in these ministries.
CHAD has been successful with an idea borrowed from Heifer International. Families are given a cow, with the understanding that the cows' first and third calves are then be given to others who continue this process. Participation in the program is open to all churches, not just United Methodists. The same "passing-on-the-gift" principle is also applied to other projects groups, such as looms for weaving and water pumps for irrigating crops.
Work with Children
The Methodist Church in Cambodia also is active among children and youth. "The Singapore Methodist School is a success," Rev. Gulley says. "There is a school that is highly respected among all religious backgrounds."
Even so, the diversity of religion in Cambodia presents a challenge. "How do we live together in a world full of diversity?" he asks. "How did [the Methodist Church] come to be seen as a religion that is an outside religion?" It is important to show the church as growing out of the culture.
Paying attention to local norms is essential in successful mission. "If you offer something that looks like you are bribing them to accept your religion, they highly resent that," Rev. Gulley points out. Approaches that raise suspicions must be avoided both by missionaries and Cambodian Methodists sharing their witness.
Teams of mission volunteers from the US have done valuable work, especially in construction work in Cambodia, but Rev. Gulley and others see the future in the hands of Cambodians, as the Methodist Church seeks to become self-sustaining. Scholarships for leadership development may be the most important tools for tomorrow.

Cambodia Mission Consultation
A Cambodia Mission Consultation involving partners in the Cambodia Initiative is set for September 17-19 in Metairie, Louisiana. For details, see the article Cambodia Mission Consultation Set for September in Louisiana and the Information Brochure.
Andrew J. Schleicher is a probationary deacon, freelance journalist, and director of evangelism and communications for West End United Methodist Church in Nashville.

The Indian Forest Service (Hindi: भारतीय वन सेवा) (Abbreviated as IFS) is the Forestry service of India. It is one of the three All India Services of the Government of India.[1] Its members are recruited by the national government but serve under the state governments or Central Government.
The modern Indian Forest Service was created in 1966 for protection, conservation, and regeneration of forest resources.
Imperial Forest Service[edit]
India was one of the first in the world to introduce scientific forest management. In 1864, the British Raj established the Imperial Forest Department. In 1866 Dr. Dietrich Brandis, a German forest officer, was appointed Inspector General of Forests. The Imperial Forestry Service was organized subordinate to the Imperial Forest Department in 1867. The British colonial government also constituted provincial forest services and executive and subordinate services similar to the forest administrative hierarchy used today.
Officers appointed from 1867 to 1885 were trained in Germany and France, and from 1885 to 1905 at Cooper's Hill, London, a noted professional college of forestry. From 1905 to 1926, the University of Oxford (Sir William Schlich), University of Cambridge, and University of Edinburgh had undertaken the task of training Imperial Forestry Service officers.
From 1927 to 1932, forest officers were trained at the Imperial Forest Research Institute (FRI) at Dehradun, which had been established in 1906.
Indian Forest College[edit]
The Indian Forest College (IFC) was established in the 1938 at Dehradun, and officers recruited to the Superior Forest Service by the states and provinces were trained there. Forestry, which was managed by the federal government until then, was transferred to the "provincial list" by the Government of India Act 1935, and recruitment to the Imperial Forestry Service was subsequently discontinued.
Modern agency[edit]
The modern Indian Forest Service was established in 1966, after independence, under the All India Services Act 1951. The first Inspector General of Forests, Hari Singh, was instrumental in the development of the IFS.
India has an area of 635,400 km2 designated as forests, about 19.32 percent of the country. India's forest policy was created in 1894 and revised in 1952 and again in 1988.
They are trained at the Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy at Dehradun, with training on forest and wildlife management, soil conservation, surveying, Scheduled Tribes and handling weapons. After completion of their training the officers are awarded a master degree in Science (Forestry) of the Deemed University known as Forest Research Institute. The officers are taught more than 56 subjects of life sciences in two years.
After completing training at the academies, candidates go through a year of on-the-job field training in the state to which he or she is assigned. There is a probationary period of three years during which they are posted as Assistant Conservators of Forests. On completion, and after four years of service in the junior scale, officers are appointed to the Senior Time Scale and are entitled to be posted as Deputy Conservators of Forests or Divisional Forest Officers (DFO) in charge of districts/forest divisions.
The officers are supposed to work in the field of forestry as well as wildlife. At times they are posted as working plan officers and put on deputation with agencies such as State Forest Corporation, for carrying out exploiting operations of timber and their marketing, as Member Secretaries of Pollution control Board, Tourism Officers or Executive Directors or MDs of state-run corporations or boards. They can be posted as Secretaries of the Autonomous Bodies and as Directors or Joint Secretaries in government of India.
Indian Forest Service officers draw pay and other perks equal to Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers. They are awarded non-functional scales as when their juniors in IAS by two years draw the scale of Joint Secretary of the Union Government, they are awarded the scale of Chief Conservator of Forests in the state.

WASHINGTON -- Twenty four people applied for what they would find to be an eye-opening position as a "Director of Operations."
Millions of people saw the online ad created by Cardstore, an arm of American Greetings that allows users to create personalized cards.
In interviews, the candidates were told the job requires more than 135 hours per week, that they needed "excellent negotiation" skills and that their "associate" would need "constant attention."
Also, they could not sit down and there would be no vacations.
On holidays, the interviewer tells those applying that their workload would go up and that they would have to maintain a "happy disposition" as it did.
"The position is going to pay absolutely nothing," the interviewer tells the applicants.
One potential employee called the job description "inhumane," then learned billions of people have the occupation, commonly known as being a mom.
Watch the video of the "interviews" for the World's Toughest Job and see what was really up:
The American Greetings' Cardstore ad that tries to get people to buy Mother's Day cards does put motherhood in perspective.

Orange Park bicyclist struck by car on U.S. 17
Updated On: Feb 19 2014 11:06:37 AM EST
A 62-year-old Orange Park man was critically injured when he was struck by a car Tuesday night on U.S. 17 south of County Road 220.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Eduardo Arosho was riding north in the outside lane at 9:40 p.m. when he was struck by a northbound Toyota Tercel driven by Jordan Joest, 30, of Jacksonville.
Troopers said the Joest did not see the bicycle, which had rear lights.
The rider was transported to UF Health Jacksonville with life-threatening injuries.
According to the FHP report, charges are pending.

The Science of Snowflakes
Posted on: November 17, 2014
If you have ever skied, shoveled a driveway, or spent even the shortest amount of time in a wintery climate you are probably well familiar with the magic of falling snow. From an early age we are taught that no two snowflakes are alike, and the more time you spend in the mountains the more you realize the intricacies of different types of snow. Here at Park City Peaks Hotel, we're no strangers to the changing seasons and consider ourselves something of experts when it comes to our favorite type of precipitation.
Everyone loves a good mystery and, around this time of year, some of the best mysteries manifest themselves in ghost stories. Park City has a rich pioneer and mining history dating back to the mid 1800s so it should come as no surprise that many of the old buildings that line historic downtown have a unique history behind them. One such building can be found at 573 Main St. (more…)
Halloween in the Mountains
Posted on: October 20, 2014
Autumn is officially here in Park City, and we couldn't be more excited! Our uncrowded hiking trails and palpable energy in the air surrounding the upcoming ski season makes this time of year truly magical. However, don't set your eyes on winter just yet! With Halloween just around the corner, Park City has an incredible offering of fun and festive activities for the entire family. If you're coming into town this October make sure to leave some room on your calendar to enjoy Halloween in the mountains. (more…)
Nestled into North Central Utah's Rocky Mountains, it won't take you long to realize that Park City is your quintessential ski town. With a unique history of pioneers and exploration, Park City started off as a sleepy little valley before expanding into the bustling winter sport epicenter that it is today. Made most famous by the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City has since cemented itself as a must-visit destination for all winter sports enthusiasts. With its awe-inspiring beauty, incredible winter weather, and assortment of après ski activities for the entire family, its no wonder Park City has become the premiere winter destination in the U.S. When it comes to skiing, the valley boasts three world-class ski resorts a stone's throw away from historic downtown, but what does each one have to offer? (more…)
Goodbye Summer, Hello Winter!
Wow, summer is finally over and all the exciting events around Park City that go with summer are wrapping up. Soon it will be our favorite season once again, ski season, but before the snows show up and the resorts open there are lots of fun things to do still.
Our recent posts have covered trains, tourism, love stories and music so hopefully you have the idea that there is a lot to do in and around park city. Indeed, weather you are a history junky, outdoor sports or activity enthusiast or art lover, there is simply a never ending amount of stuff to do in and around Park City. (more…)
On May 10, 1869, the east and west ends of the transcontinental railroad were joined 115 miles northwest of Park City. The meeting of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads signaled the ceremonial joining of the United States.
The Golden Spike National Historic Site, in Box Elder County provides a splendid day trip opportunity from Park City. Through September, you can see working replicas of the locomotives that "met" at the site, the Jupiter and the 119. There are two auto tours available: a 14 mile round trip which affords views of the original track locations, and a two mile loop. The tours are self-guided. The Big Fill Walk is a 1.5 mile hike to the last rail and last spike of the massive engineering project.
Interestingly, the golden spike was symbolic. Engineers had hoped to lay a final golden rail and tamp it with the golden spike, but gold is too soft to be spiked or run across by a steam-powered locomotive. You can see the actual, final spike but don't expect it be golden. And you will also be surprised by the gaudy colors of the train replicas. Trains weren't flat black until the twentieth century.
In the Wasatch Mountains, the Indian warrior Red Eagle, in his desperation to win the heart of the beautiful Utahna, who was being pursued by many suitors of great wealth, declared to her that he was a god. What girl wouldn't fall for that? They became lovers, sparking the jealousy of the other would-be husbands.
Rumors started flying among the local groups of Ute Indians, and then the truth was revealed, when Red Eagle was wounded by a great bear. Gods don't get wounded by bears large or small. He was a guy—a hunky guy to be sure—but not a god. Our girl Utahna was devastated.
Had you been a tourist visiting Park City, Utah, in 1869, you would have written, in your postcard (an ancient communications device requiring you to use a pen and lick a stamp) to back home, "Be glad you are not here." ParkCity was all about silver mining then. Its citizens were rough-hewn, not a step removed from Butch Cassidy's Hole In The Wall Gang which thrived 400 miles to the south.
You wouldn't have skied outside ParkCity, in 1869. You wouldn't have explored the many national parks (thank Teddy Roosevelt for that)—there were none. You didn't hike or ride horses unless you were an outlaw or a mountain man. You bathed; you didn't swim. Utah's tourism came well after the mines had been exhausted.
The Deer Valley Music Festival, home of the Utah Symphony & the Utah Opera, presents a series of events for all musical tastes from pop to classical. And while you're waiting for your concert to begin, enjoy all that Park City and the surrounding mountains have to offer: from fly fishing, mountain biking, hiking, hot air ballooning, and art galleries, to fine/casual dining (including July 9-13, the 9th annual Park City Food and Wine Classic).
Apart from skiing, there is nothing better than celebrating America's Birthday, and the Park City Peaks Hotel is right in the heart of the action (and America!) if you are looking to go off the beaten path and enjoy a great town with great amenities, Park City is the place to be. Aside from all the nature, beauty and fresh air, we also have a lot of fun.
Come and enjoy:

A freedom fighter who changed the course of history
His moral purpose is his great legacy
Richard Foot, For Postmedia NewsPublished: Friday, December 06, 2013
He was a champion of freedom, who spent one-third of his life in a prison cell; a revolutionary who espoused armed conflict against the state, yet became a global icon of peace and moral virtue.
Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, died on Thursday at the age of 95. Archbishop Desmond Tutu called him "one of the greatest human beings to walk this Earth."
Certainly he was a giant of the 20th century, an extraordinary leader who - like Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi and Pope John Paul II - confronted the oppressors of his time and, against enormous odds, changed the course of history.
African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela and wife, Winnie, raise fists upon Mandela's release from Victor Verster Prison in Paarl, South Africa, on Feb. 11, 1990.

Although best known for skilfully leading South Africa out of the violence and racial hatred of apartheid, Mandela's greatest legacy is the magnanimity and moral purpose he constantly demonstrated to the world.
In 1990, he emerged after 27 years behind the walls of the apartheid regime's toughest prisons advocating not anger and revenge, but reconciliation and forgiveness. After winning South Africa's first democratic election, he invited the lawyer who had prosecuted him decades before, along with many of his former white jailers, to attend his presidential inauguration as VIP guests.
Five years later, in one of his greatest moral acts, he simply relinquished the reins of high office - a breathtaking symbolic move in a continent beset by power-hungry tyrants and dictators.
"He was never in politics for power or money. He had too much integrity for that," says Lucie Page, a Montreal writer and filmmaker who came to know Mandela well through her husband, Jay Naidoo, a former anti-apartheid activist who served in Mandela's cabinet.
"Why was he so different from other African leaders? Because he put values first, not power," says Page. "And he practised what he preached."
Everywhere the powerful and the famous - presidents, prime ministers, celebrities - longed to be seen at Mandela's side, to bask in the magic glow of a true international superstar.
Muhammad Ali said he was "awestruck" when he met Mandela, or "Madiba," as he was affectionately known.
But ordinary people were drawn to him too, from all corners of the planet, a fact that amazed Mandela himself.
In 1990, at the end of his first trip to Canada, only months after leaving prison, his airplane stopped to refuel in Goose Bay, Labrador, before crossing the Atlantic. As Mandela strolled on the tarmac, he was surprised to see a small crowd of cheering Innu teenagers who had come to the airport after hearing that Mandela's plane might be stopping there.
"In talking with these bright young people," Mandela wrote in his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, "I learned that they had watched my release on television and were familiar with events in South Africa. 'Viva ANC!' one of them said."
With his huge grin and piercing eyes, Mandela had a particular genius for connecting with people, in making you feel special, says Page.
"You could cut his charisma with a knife. Before you even saw him, you would feel his presence. I've met lots of kings and presidents, but no one is like Mandela."

A surprise year-on-year fall in Turkish coal imports in 2013 and the weak Turkish Lira against the US dollar have prompted market participants to revise their previously bullish forecasts for this year's Turkish coal imports.
In November, market participants polled by ICIS agreed that Turkish coal imports would be 25% higher year on year in 2013 at around 22m-25m tonnes. They also predicted import demand would grow a further 10% in 2014 ( see sister publication CSD 21 November 2013 ).
However, Turkish Statistical Institute data recently showed that Turkish thermal coal imports totalled just 20.9m tonnes last year – down 12% year on year – with sources now expecting imports this year to remain flat at that level.
Last year's decline was attributed mainly to a steep fall in the Turkish Lira against the US dollar which, despite the decline in international thermal coal prices, made the dollar-denominated imported coal less attractive compared to Turkey's own domestic production. And this trend is likely to continue this year, with demand depending largely on whether international coal prices out-turn above or below the price of Turkish domestic coal production.
Last week, Director of Emerging Markets Strategy at investment bank Societe Generale Phoenix Kalen told ICIS that the medium-term outlook for the Turkish Lira (TL) is still weak, because the country remains exposed to policies in the US which it cannot influence through monetary policy. The investment bank said it expects the US dollar to rise to TL2.40 by the end of March, surpassing the TL2.33 high that was hit on 26 January ( see sister publication EDEM 06 February 2014 ).
This means that unless international coal prices fall much faster than the Lira depreciates, any increase in demand caused by the commissioning of the 600MW coal-fired Atlas power plant in June would be covered by domestic coal production. "I doubt overall coal-fired electricity generation would grow this year in Turkey. Coal plants are not as attractive to run as it once appeared so I no longer expect any growth in coal imports from the electricity sector," a coal trader said.
It is also still unlikely that the Turkish cement industry would significantly increase its demand for imported coal. While the country's cement output is rising, sources said the industry is using mainly petcoke which, despite a 25% price premium over CIF ARA coal prices, also has a much higher heat output.

Carr, a new collection of menswear launching exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue this fall, is not just about style and exquisite tailoring. It's about the story of fashion and family through designer George Carr's eyes. The designer, who has worked in both fashion and film, based the brand's designs sketches created by his late brother, also a designer, named Zack Carr. SaksPOV: How did the Carr menswear collection come about? George Carr: I took one of my brother's sketches of a women's suit and translated it into menswear. It was a four-pocket safari suit that was homage to Yves Saint Laurent. I thought, well, that's really a menswear item. I brought the sketch to Rocco Ciccarelli, who is probably the number one tailor in America….Read More.. ▼

Study: Are men with smaller testicles better dads?
Some scientific studies are groundbreaking. Then there's this one.
Emory University anthropologists, seeking to learn why some dads are better nurturers than others, investigated whether anatomy played a role in differences in parenting style. They're finding: Men with smaller testicles are often more involved fathers.
A HealthDay article quoted lead study author James Rilling as saying "men with smaller testes and lower testosterone levels were more involved in caregiving." Also, "men with smaller testes volume also had a stronger neural response ... when the men viewed images of their children," Rilling said.

The study findings were published in the Sept. 9 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The participants included 70 men who were the biological fathers of children from one- to two-year-olds.
The HealthDay article states that researchers used a structural MRI to measure the size of each man's testicles and blood tests to measure testosterone levels. Researchers interviewed the fathers and the children's mothers to find out how active of a role the men played in activities such as diaper changing and doctor visits.
Unsurprisingly, not everyone is buying the results of the Emory study. The study is a little heavy on assumptions, Dr. Joseph Alukal, an assistant professor in the department of obstetrics and gynecology and urology at NYU Langone Medical Center, told HealthDay.
"They've assumed a few things and I'm not sure they have the science to back it up," Alukal told HealthDay, adding that "you can't correlate testes size to hormones."

NEW ORLEANS — Alabama split the games and swept the titles.
The Crimson Tide was voted No. 1 in the final Associated Press poll for the eighth time, tying Notre Dame for the most of any team in college football, after winning a rematch with LSU in the BCS championship on Monday night.
Alabama's 21-0 victory easily offset the Tigers' 9-6 win on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and gave it the top spot in the AP ranking to go along with the No. 1 ranking in the USA Today coaches' poll.
The Tide received 55 first-place votes and No. 2 LSU got one. Big 12 champion Oklahoma State (12-1) was No. 3 and received four first-place votes.
Oregon finished fourth and Arkansas was fifth, giving the SEC three of the top five teams in the country.
Before the ballots were cast early Tuesday morning, most voters said they would at least consider voting LSU No. 1 in the final AP poll even with a loss because of its stronger overall resume, which included a road victory against the Tide. Oklahoma State would get consideration, too, depending on how things went in Tide-Tigers II.
Alabama dominated LSU in the Superdome, holding the Tigers to 92 yards and recording the first shutout in BCS championship game history.
Coach Nick Saban led Alabama to its second AP title in the last three years and joined Bear Bryant (five) as Crimson Tide coaches with multiple championships.
"The goal was control your destiny," Saban said, referring to his team's approach to the game.
He might as well have been talking about the rankings, too. Alabama made it simple for most voters to pick a No. 1.
"I set the bar high for Alabama in order to earn the top spot on my ballot," said Jon Wilner of the Mercury News in San Jose, Calif. "The Crimson Tide needed to offset both the regular-season loss to LSU and the Tigers' superior regular season. And Alabama did just that."
And so, the potential controversy of a split national title was avoided.
As voter Chad Cripe of The Idaho Statesman put it: "Alabama left zero doubt."
LSU can claim the SEC championship and victories against Pac-12 champion Oregon and Big East champion and No. 17 West Virginia. LSU coach Les Miles praised his team when asked if it deserved to be voted national champions, though he stopped short of lobbying.
"This football team has as quality a run as there is in this country," he said. "Played eight nationally ranked teams. Played in six stadiums before the SEC championship game, which we won as well. I think this team accomplished a lot. I think that's for the voters to figure."
Southern California, which sat out the postseason because of NCAA sanctions, was No. 6 and Pac-12 rival Stanford was seventh.
Boise State finished No. 8. No. 9 South Carolina made it four SEC schools in the Top 10.
The Big Ten had the next three teams: No. 10 Wisconsin, No. 11 Michigan State and No. 12 Michigan.
Baylor and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III finished No. 13, ahead of future Big 12 rival TCU, and current Big 12 rivals Kansas State and Oklahoma, and another future Big 12 program, West Virginia.
Conference USA had Houston at No. 18 and Southern Mississippi at No. 20.
In between was Georgia at 19.
The Atlantic Coast Conference had Virginia Tech at No. 21, Clemson at No. 22 and Florida State at 23.
No. 24 Nebraska gave the Big Ten four teams in the final rankings and No. 25 Cincinnati made it two from the Big East.

Election Day sales of alcoholic beverages will be allowed at restaurants if a county regulatory ordinance passes.
The ordinance went before the Owen County Fiscal Court for its first reading Tuesday, Oct. 28.
A second reading is set for Nov. 25.
The ordinance will allow a restaurant with a license to sell alcoholic beverages during the hours the polls are open on any regular, local-option, special or primary election day.
The ordinance will prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday.

Today the scope of the landscape has changed. The few remaining large family farms stand as sentinels serenely as Canby grows, offering newcomers a chance to settle amid the rolling hills of Owen County.
Sylvia Perkins is a lot like Canby. She has lived in the community most of her life; and though age has slowed her a bit, her steadfast presence remains as an unmoving witness to the ageless nobility of land and people.

It's 29 degrees on the Branch this morning, but the weatherman says we'll have a couple more days of pleasant weather before the bottom drops out of the thermometer.
It has been a fast start for the MBMS Lady Rebels on the basketball court. The 7th grade team is 5-0 so far this year while the 8th grade team has started the season by winning four of their first five games.
The MBMS Rebels took on Gallatin County last week. Both the 7th and 8th grade teams came up short against the Wildcats.
In the 7th grade game, the Rebels fell behind 12-2 after the first quarter and could not recover as they lost 37-15. Jacob Osborne led the way with eight points while Tennyson Hensley finished with four. Jalen Spaulding rounded out the scoring by tossing in three points.

Our deepest gratitude to Jim Bob Cook (Air Force), Joe Peters (Army), Gary Derringer (Army), Foster Smith (Army) and Melvin Miller (Army). We should never forget the sacrifice the men and women (past and present) have made so we could worship freely. May God bless you.

New Creuset Color at Williams-Sonoma
- p
- ProfessorBear Apr 17, 2011 06:25 PM
It's called "Linen" and appears to be somewhere between Dune and Truffle. Not particularly thrilling as my choices go, but new is exciting in any case!
Yet another edition to their Dull & Dreary color line. I wish someone would get the head of LC marketing some Prozac. What happened to the bright and pretty colors they are known for?
re: blondelle
All my LC is in the flame color, but I also find some of the more muted tones quite attractive; and in any case, tastes vary widely. Years ago, a friend of mine bought a set in graduated gray: not my style at all, but it was what she liked, and she's been very happy with it. So I say hold off on the Prozac (for now), and be glad that LC produces something for everyone!
re: Miss Priss
For LC to make money they need to produce products that appeal to the broadest segment of their customer base. That base has bought and loved their brightly colored products. I understand that they might not be to everyone's taste, but it appealed to enough customers to put them on the map as the premier manufacturer of enameled cast iron. Yes, tastes do vary, but these type of colors for the most part, do not appeal to their core customer I wish they would go back to making, bright, pretty colors. There is already enough of Truffle, Black, White, Dune, Cassis to appeal to their customer who doesn't like bright colors and wants to stay more neutral..
re: blondelle
Don't forget Ocean. It's pretty drab for a "color" as well. And, for those from past years, they could have Chestnut and that steely grey color as well.
And I guess you could include that lousy spinach color at C&B. It's not exactly current or happy...
re: blondelle
I'm think you're making some unfounded assertions here. How do you know that the broadest segment of Le Creuset's customer base likes brightly colored products?
I have loved Cassis and Ocean and bought French ovens in both those colors, although I admit to not liking Linen at all. And perhaps there are many others like me who have been buying the darker, more elegant colors. I spoke with a woman who works at Williams Sonoma and she told me that Ocean is one of the most popular colors they've had in a while. It took me a while to buy mine because they were out of stock for so long.
I think that Le Creuset is going through color rotations, which makes sense. For a while, they had colors like Dijon, Lemongrass, and Caribbean - all of which are very bright and colors I wouldn't buy. Now they're going through colors like Cassis, Ocean, and Linen while still carrying bright colors like Cobalt, Flame, and Red.
I would not make assumptions and say that I represent the broadest segment of their customer base, and I wouldn't say that you do, either. I would say that Le Creuset is trying to appeal to a wide range of customers and that's what they're supposed to do.
re: Jade72
<< How do you know that the broadest segment of Le Creuset's customer base likes brightly colored products?>>
Because those customers put them on the map as the premiere vendor of enameled cast iron cookware. They started with Flame and they wouldn't have continued with these bright color unless they sold well. Mostly all the colors after Flame were bright. Do you really thing they would go on with that trend if their customers weren't buying all those bright, cheerful colors? That's what LC has been known for all these years, and what helped them be what they are today!
re: blondelle
Time goes on and things change - including people's tastes. There must be a market for these more muted colors or they wouldn't keep producing them. Especially not in this economy. I like many of the bright colors and I also like many of the more muted, understated and elegant colors.
re: flourgirl
I, for one, always thought the bright colors were really "something"...but I never owned a piece of Le Creuset until the more subdued colors hit the market. Color is a trend whether or not anyone wants to admit it...think avocado and harvest gold...we are all little sheep following trends, for the most part, and color, like scent, conjures feelings - many of you may love those bright colors because they bring you back to a happy time in your life. Granite counters were a trend...some still love them. Others will think of the 1990's when they see it. It is your perception through your own filter. Williams Sonoma is having a hard time keeping Ocean in...while the Linen has had its day. It was too boring.
re: blondelle
So, let's just pretend for a moment that I'm the head person at LC. I've been selling bright colors to folks around the globe for years now and sold a lot of this product, but not everyone has bought the bright colors. The bright color folks can only buy so many pieces and then they have to have a larger kitchen, which costs money, so they can't afford more bright pieces anyway. But the dull color group that hasn't been buying is a market ready to tap into. They have all kinds of room for new LC pieces because they haven't bought any of the bright colors over the past 20+ years. I'll make dull colors to appeal to this group for a few years until the bright color group is ready to start buying agin to fill their new larger kitchens. I've just opened up a new market segment to replace one that is already saturated.
What the heck do I know, but if coppertone and avacado green and harvest gold can become so pervasive in homes, then maybe there is a group of potential customers for LC in the drab tones.
re: blondelle
Exactly. Particularly in WS. I think they are discontinuing Dijon yellow and have a new one called Quince which is dull and lusterless.
re: blondelle
Like many on this thread, I prefer the bright colors of LC, but for me it's all about what I can find on sale. A handful of years ago I found "Big Blue," aka, their 13 1/4 quart Dutch oven in cobalt, and out the door including tax I picked it up for $180. That's more than half off.
Recently while on a trip to Savannah, my wife and I found a LC outlet and picked up a 7 1/2 quart in Kiwi for $110. We call her "Limey." We also have a perfectly serviceable one about the same size in flame we call "lil Red," but its from another company whose name I cant' recall. We picked it up from Target.
re: twodales
I like neutral too, but in a neutral kitchen I like bright color accessories to liven things up. Bright colors have been VERY strong in housewares!
re: twodales
I just got the latest Crate and Barrel catalog. Everything is white and neutral. And very mid-century. I love it. But not that Linen. Looks dirty.
Then again, most people don't buy 10 of these things.
They create all the different colors to bring in new customers, not to appease the customers they already have.
Bright and background colors both need to exist, it's all part of the grand tapestry of life haha...
Someone here (perhaps Candy?) mentioned her Creuset is all in white and dark green -- that sounds classy and attractive.
My kitchen stuff is Joseph's coat for sure--I like lots of different colors on a white background.
I *do* object to the pretentious name, though--if that's "Linen", it's dirty linen!
re: blue room
I do have a blue terrine and one flame 2 qt. pot. That little pot was a prize! I picked it up at a church rummage 35+ years ago for $5.00
I do have hunter green and white. White is available again, and the new fennel is a nice color. The fennel works well with the glowing yellow. I'm thinking about buying the tagine in yellow.
LC runs colors in cycles. I was surprised to see black come back so quickly. They dropped the color about 4-5 years ago and here it is again. It is attractive when kept shiny and bright. We've got the cassis in the shop so-so, that shade is too greyed. It is not a best seller. The Emile Henry figue which is a rich deep purple is a better seller and more appealing.
There are a lot of people out there who are color phobic and they need to be able to buy something that makes them feel secure.
Oh, by the way, my DH surprised me with lasagne for dinner one night. He used the LC terrine which is one noodle long and wide. He got a stack of 3 in it. Perfect for dinner for 2 and a small leftover lunch sized portion. An excellent use for it when not making terrines and pates!
re: Candy
I have nothing against quieter, more neutral colors. The problem is I don't find the new, drabber colors pretty. I would prefer a soft, pretty, celadon green to that blackish, brackish Ocean color. That pinkish taupe called Truffle is a horror, and the new Linen is a khaki beige, and isn't the most attractive color either. I do love the new Coastal Blue color. A grayed, light to medium country blue would be pretty. What about a white shading to dove gray with a white interior and stainless knob. Would be stunning! The Cassis is growing on me. Soft colors should also be pretty. Most of LC's new colors aren't, at least to me.
re: Candy
Oh good, my memory can still be trusted, I remembered correctly it was you with the dark green & white. So pretty -- pine trees & snow -- spinach & feta!
Yes, the figue (fig) color of Emile Henry! The minute I saw it on the cover of a catalog I knew I'd buy... also love the performance of the Emile Henry "Flame Top" cookware. I use my figue brasier for...braising, and it's superior to metal--at least it seems to be. A gentler heat, though that might be my imagination.
The "Grenadine" color that Staub makes is one I like too, a little brighter and redder than their eggplant/aubergine color.
"One noodle long and wide" -- what a good idea!
re: blue room
I think we are non the same page when it comes to color!
re: blue room
What LC colors do you think would look good with the Staub grenadine? White? Dune? Fennel?.........
re: ShawnPA
sorry, I don't use or sell Staub so I am not familiar with their palatte
re: Candy
Color-phobia is the truth, especially when working in your kitchen! I seem to remember Le Creuset sold a solid red - I think at the time they had a ton of colors available, but it could have been at least ten years ago. Now their red is two-toned, as well as Staub's. So I find myself leaning towards the Batali's poinsettia red, and I know I'm compromising quality. I had a peek at the LC French website to no avail, don't think I can wait till they decide to reproduce that solid color if they in fact ever had it. (And then it would have to be a 'cool-toned red').
re: CookingwithMochi
damn ;)
re: ratgirlagogo
Thanks ratgirl, sometimes things do look better on-line. I agree, at a bargain worth it but not at the current selling price. It looks like I'm gravitating towards the Staub high polished cherry - it has a bit of orange I can do without, but I have no choice. I'm also looking at some vintage pieces that might fit the bill, but in no hurry.
Sur la Table is selling a Revol 3 3/4 quart cocotte (link not working) - love it but on a backburner because I know I want it for looks ;)
re: lilgi
Returning the shopping favor, lilgi. My mom bought me the Staub oval Coq Au Vin two birthdays ago in grenadine. Definitely check it out in person. It's a stunner and not all photos do it justice.
ETA: One more color thread you may find helpful:
Happy shopping! I never even knew what a Staub was and it was one of the coolest b'day presents of my lifetime. I use it ALL THE TIME. :)
re: kattyeyes
Thanks so much Katty! I'm glad you posted about the grenadine because I kept going back and forth. I thought the color might be a bit dark or muted. I was hoping to see it today, but the place where I went only had Le Creuset.
I think Staub made a wise choice with stainless steel accents, Le Creuset uses black - when you put one color against any other color - especially black - it changes the tone. The Staub also has a more polished look, very stunning. Someone loves you very much! Very nice gift ;)
re: blondelle
What a great price! Not sure if I'll be purchasing next month or the following, so I'll have to keep checking; thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Also having fun browsing through vintage items - I think the trick to finding the really good stuff is to widen the search and keep it non-specific; takes longer though.
re: lilgi
It does involve some waiting, but there are a lot of LC pots on ebay in fine condition, many in beautiful solid colors no longer available new. Might be worth a look...
Even bigger bargains can be had in equally high-quality and durable Copco and Descoware, but those color ranges may not be to your liking.
re: ellabee
Ellabee, I'm way ahead of ya! ;)
re: blue room
It's antique linen, I'd say ... it's representative of the natural color of linen. When you find old linen that's never been washed or bleached, it's in this same color family.
I like the neutral colors (my original L.C. from the 80's is white) and I like a calm European look in the kitchen: natural woods, copper, white, linen, grays, etc. When I want a change, I buy bright colored towels and accessories for a change of pace. Right now, I'm bringing out the nautical colors for the warmer weather. In the fall, it's all about the gingers, cinnamon, and golds.
Perhaps the reason the older brighter colors were so popular is because that's what was available back then. I'm remembering my mom's old kitchen: harvest gold, avocado green, copper-toned, etc. That's what was available if you wanted a fashionable kitchen!
re: breadchick
Breadchick, you hit the nail on the head! Also, in my kitchen I have an array of art and other glassware that is displayed...the colors are not boring but they are not primary colors either. Primary colors make me think of kindergarten - playful perhaps...fun. I prefer texture to color...and the layers of colors that can be blended together in a tapestry is more reminiscent in the Ocean color, to me, than a bolder color.
BTW, Candy, that green with black and white would be stunning. As an interior decorator, I show clients how color changes a room....the brighter, cleaner colors that are the original colors have a definite summer feel about them. The use of color is personal and is filtered by our experiences. Some color schemes could not handle the brighter colors - mine being one of them. A flame pot would stand out like a sore thumb. Think of it this way...not everyone wears the same colors. I would be willing to bet that your wardrobe is somewhat reflective of your choice of LC pans.
re: ellequint
Hmm ... interesting :) Mine are Dune, Linen, Aubergine, and Red. I do wear all those colors ... lots of purple and red (not together), as well as various neutrals.
re: ellequint
As LC would want it, everyone should have 6 of every vessel they make in every color, so the maximum decorating possibilities are attained while cooking and displaying. White with Aubergine lid for delicate sauces, Dune with Linen for that special cassoulet. And Flame lidded in Black for the Solstice vichyssoise. Would Ocean and Citron together be appropriate before the start of Boating Season?
re: kaleokahu
Oh, NEVER before the start of boating season--have you no couth! ;) Thanks for the giggle.
re: kattyeyes
Hey there, kattyeyes - how your pot moose doing?
Okay, the nautical colors not, and "sea glass" yes. More "driftwood" and "beach sand" and "battleship gray" LOL!
re: breadchick
Hiya! You know, he's not been so busy lately, that moose. Thank you for reminding me I should let him help me out again soon. :)
I must admit, you made me look to see if there was such a thing as sea glass. HA HA HA! I do like Ocean, though. What a striking color! It's OK, your "Battleship" can sail on my "Ocean."
Not a fan of the new colour - as someone else said, if it's linen, it's dirty linen (to my eye). There have been a few recent colours from LC that had me scratching my head because they just looked fugly. I DO like the new fennel, but some of those neutrals were not good. And this is coming from someone who is a neutral fan for decor and wardrobe.
I decided early on not to make any attempt to co-ordinate my LC pieces - they're one of the few things in my kitchen that are colourful, and I don't mind mix n match. I have a 2 dutch ovens that were, I think, only made in Japan - a pale peach colour and a powder blue. I don't use them much because I have a standard colour in the same size, so they just sit on a shelf looking pretty.
re: flourgirl
Agreed (I have it in cast iron) ... it doesn't look dirty, it's a perfectly pleasant color. And I know dirt-colored ... previous owners of my house left me with a degrade brown enamel sink (since consigned to the pit of hell, or wherever the plumber took it--he may not have followed instructions ;), and speckled beige tile in the bath. I refer to them affectionately as 'the dirt-colored people.' (I never met them, so I don't know the color of the people themselves, simply their taste in home decor.)
re: foiegras
That's funny - we had an "affectionate" name for the previous owners of our house as well - who thought it was the height of home decorating to thumb tack curtains to the windows - made out of material that looked like it came straight from the nearest whore house, wall-papered the bathroom in this hideous metallic floral paper, planted shrubs in completely random locations throughout the property, and boasted about their "screened in porch" that they added to the back of the house - which included stapled screens - and was basically just nailed to the roof to keep it attached to the rest of the house. And they painted the sink and the stovetop to try and make them look new. Until we could redo the kitchen, it was an absolute horror show.
Did I mention the hideous metallic floral wallpaper?
Thankfully, just about every single trace of them is finally gone - 16 yrs later. (In fact, I'm staring at the last project to eliminate those traces. We just ripped out this horrible fake panelling that surrounded the fireplace and replaced it with built in bookcases which will shortly house the rest of my massive cookbook collection, currently sitting in piles located throughout my home. So I will have 5 full-sized bookcases in this one room holding almost my entire collection. It's my idea of Heaven. :)
