Some architects have had good runs winning P/A design awards. Sometimes these serial winners go on to have long and illustrious careers, with their P/A Awards helping propel them into stardom, but other frequent awardees have been undeservedly forgotten. Clearly, their work appealed to a range of jurors over several years and had qualities that colleagues found compelling at the time. Why, then, do some architects succeed and others, equally talented, recede from view?
Hobart Betts, an architect living in Sag Harbor, N.Y., offers some insight. He won four P/A design awards in a seven-year period, from 1966 through 1972, for a series of compact houses and cottages in New York and Virginia. In each case, the design consisted of geometric forms, asymmetrical windows, and angled clerestories bringing daylight inside. Betts' minimalist designs distilled high Modernism down to its purest expression, and seen in the context of the late 1960s and early '70s, with the rise of countercultural and postmodern architecture, his work now seems refreshingly quiet and calm. By the time Postmodernism caught on in the mid 1970s, however, the elegant compositions of Hobart Betts may no longer have seemed progressive enough—progress is, after all, a subjective term—to win P/A Awards.

Nevertheless, some 40 years later, his work deserves to be rediscovered. Faced with the need to reduce the size of single-family houses and to minimize the footprint of buildings on the land, we would do well to emulate Hobart Betts' example: creating modest, modern structures that meet people's basic needs, beautifully.
Multigenerational design, also known as transgenerational design, is an increasingly...

Tanzania exudes a natural honeymoon environment and is one of the most romantic destinations in the African Continent. Visit the Tanzania Honeymoon section where you will find out more about travel to this country. As a Twin Centre Tanzania & Zanzibar work in harmony to create an outstanding honeymoon.
Tanzania is a fabulous location for an alternative family holiday, the Tanzania Family Holiday section will provide you with relevant information and ideas on how and when to travel as a family. If a family Safari is your ideal trip Namibia is another fantastic alternative.
As the largest out of all the countries in East Africa Tanzania offers a vast and varied landscape which has been carefully preserved within its national Parks. Safari is a must have experience if you are venturing to this beautiful landscape where the Wildebeest Migration is comparable to a performance across the Serengeti. Explorers can take advantage of the range of Safari's available in Tanzania as they form part of a circuit which proceed through various parks. In the north the stark contrasts of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater can be brought together in one excursion over the course of several days. Alternatively those wishing for a more individual experience can go off the beaten track with the Southern Circuit route.
Tanzania's eastern coast is met with several islands of the Indian Ocean including Zanzibar and Pemba. With the provision of pristine beaches and white sand met by the turquoise waters many travellers choose to finish off a safari along this majestic coast. Tanzania combined with Zanzibar is a fashionable choice for honeymooners as it provides a contrast of romantic activities and environments. Tanzania is a popular choice for the intrepid adventurers wishing to climb Africa's most famous mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, at the same time it offers plenty of exploration activities for the novice explorers. From romantic honeymoons to action packed family holiday Tanzania will not only accommodate all of your needs but leave you with lifelong memories.
Many of the specialists at Mahlatini have taken the time to personally visit and explore the lodges, camps and parks Tanzania has to offer, which has allowed them to develop a first-hand experience and knowledge of this fabulous destination. When designing your personal trip we draw from our own experience and knowledge to provide the most efficient ground staff and the most knowledgeable guides. We have hundreds of happy customers who can attest to this.
A Northern Circuit safari is a fine introduction to safari at any time of year. The parks
included in the circuit are the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, the Tarangire and Lake Manyara. You can visit all or any of the parks in various combinations. We can help you choose the best location to base
yourself in each park, based on seasonal game movements. When planning a trip to the Serengeti in the Northern Circuit many travellers will choose to base it around the Wildebeest Migration, a fabulous performance which takes in the natural instincts of this herd of animals. Watch in delight as they course through the "endless plains†making their way to appropriate grazing areas, our experts will ensure you get the best seats in the house.
Most people spend between 4 – 7 days on a Northern Circuit safari before spending a few
days at the beach. The Northern Circuit is not only an excellent introductory safari but will draw seasoned safari travellers to its parks again and again. Honeymooners
love the romance of luxury camps and the dinners under the stars; families love the safari adventure and amateur photographers find appeal in the North's incredible
diversity and its prolific wildlife.
Accommodation in the Northern Circuit ranges from larger lodges to luxury tented camps,
both permanent and mobile. Forget all previous notions you may have about camping. This is the ultimate in camping! Most 'tents' consist of large bedrooms and bathrooms
including all the modern amenities that you would expect in a luxury hotel. You just happen to be sleeping under canvas instead of concrete, in our opinion the
best way to experience Africa - up close and personal with nature.
Activities on offer in the Northern Circuit generally include game drives. Hot air balloon safaris are popular in the Serengeti and walking safaris are offered
in some of the privately-owned concessions on the outskirts of the parks.
My northern circuit safari was an entirely memorable experience for me. I will never forget our vehicle being
charged by an elephant in Lake Manyara, being surrounded by the wildebeest migration in the
Serengeti and marvelling over the incredible views of the Ngorongoro Crater.
The Northern Circuit safari in Tanzania is a wildlife experience second to none in my extensive African travels.- Sarah Chatteris
Accommodation in the Selous and Ruaha is largely in secluded camps with outstanding personal service. The majority are the Last Word in luxury, not only in terms
of food, facilities and furnishings but also due to their incomparable locations; affording a truly intimate bush experience.
The Southern Circuit (or indeed a visit to one of the parks) can be a fantastic first-time safari and seasoned safari travellers will appreciate the difference
from the more beaten track safaris. There are generally far fewer vehicles than in the Northern Circuit which to many is an added advantage allowing for game sightings to be largely private. Activities on offer are diverse from traditional game drives
and walking safaris to boat trips and fishing excursions.
The Southern Circuit Safari can also easily be combined with beach time on Zanzibar or the Tanzanian mainland coast in the Ras Kutani area. Another interesting combination offered is a twin centre luxury safari and beach holiday in
exotic Mozambique.
The Selous, Ruaha and Saadani reserves are the most popular of the parks situated along the southern circuit and it is recommended to visit between June and November to get the most out of your Safari. These parks are much more remote than those in the North and are generally more suitable for those wishing to have an individual experience or perhaps the more seasoned explorers who have previously visited parks along the Northern Circuit.- Sarah Chatteris
Due to its varied landscape and range of wildlife/ game attractions Tanzania is a suitable destination almost any time of the year and your time of visit will depend on individual interests. During the wet season the plains of the Serengeti bloom with lush plant life and buzz with the sounds of new life as it is the climate for new wildebeest calves. The birdlife is also at its highpoint with plenty of opportunity to observe the various species.
The dry season in Tanzania provides plentiful opportunities to spot animals as the grasses are much lower in the aris atmosphere and the game flock around available water pools and streams in large numbers. This time of year is much more popular for those wishing to observe a vast range of wildlife as they are much easier to locate.
Although Tanzania has two rainy seasons during November to December and March to the end of May it does not become impassable at any stage. As the wet season brings the abundance of new life along with fertile landscapes you will still be provided with many amazing sights. Many people who choose to travel at this time will find they are met with a more intimate safari experience and travel at a significantly lower price. For more information on the wildlife highlights throughout the year view our safari calendar.
Contact us about your specific interests and we will advise you on
the best time of year to travel to the region which suits you best.
There are four main areas of interest that visitors to Tanzania would explore: The Northern Circuit parks, the Southern Circuit parks,
Mount Kilimanjaro and the beaches of Zanzibar and the surrounding islands. We will help and advise you
on which area would best suit your requirements. You will either fly into Kilimanjaro Airport for a Northern Circuit Safari, Dar es Salaam Airport for a Southern
Circuit Safari or Zanzibar Airport if you are heading straight to the beach.
Wildlife is the biggest attraction in Tanzania and you can easily visit a couple of national parks/reserves during the course of a few days or a week. The parks
in the Northern Circuit are incredibly diverse in their scenery allowing you to move from one to the other and see hugely different terrain and wildlife. You can
spend a week or more on safari in Tanzania and never feel like you have seen enough. Our safaris in the Northern Circuit are generally private tailor-made trips where you will have your own driver guide to escort you for the duration of your trip.
The Southern Circuit safari begins in Dar es Salaam and can include one or more of the more remote
southern parks. Usually these safaris are fly-in safaris and game viewing activities are usually shared with other guests, unless private vehicles are specifically
Following a safari, most visitors will then add some beach time in Zanzibar, its surrounding islands or one of the other
coastal locations along East Africa such as the Ras Kutani area. These twin centre holidays allow you to combine an action-packed safari adventure with a relaxing
beach stay and are particulary popular with honeymooners.
Sometimes there are large distances involved to travel from region to region. These journeys are usually overcome with light aircraft flights which allow you to
see the incredible Tanzanian scenery from a bird's eye view. Equally, any drives in Tanzania are an adventure in their own right. There is so much to see along
the journey from an abundance of wildlife to the Masai herdsmen tending their cattle, as well as endless vistas and stunning sunsets. Your camera will never be
out of your hand!

This sample trip is an extension designed to be added onto the start or the end of a safari in Tanzania. The chosen accommodations to feature are simply ideas; there are plenty of options to explore.
Every year countless numbers of journalists, filmmakers and tourists camp out paparazzi style on the banks of
the Grumeti and Mara rivers eager to witness what must surely be one of nature's most documented spectacles, the annual migration. Here, up to two million wildebeest
face a ravenous and prolific crocodile population as they embark on the hazardous river crossing, mention the migration and it is this image that springs to mind.
- Sarah Chatteris
There is little that has not been previously written about the region and this remarkable phenomenon. Yet ask a few friends where the Great Migration takes place
and you will undoubtedly receive a few blank stares or vague mumbled replies, 'Africa' or 'Kenya'. Despite all the hype very little is actually known about this
incredible spectacle. So here is a brief guide to the greatest show on earth.
Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and Kenya's Maasai Mara are all part of the same ecosystem. In the Maasai language Serengeti means endless plain and this classic landscape can
be found in the southern part of the region but the Serengeti offers a range of habitats. As you journey in a clockwise direction you will pass through moist wooded
savannah, lush riparian woodland interspersed with huge granite boulders before arriving at the rich rolling grasslands of the Mara Plains. A fine setting for the
big event when up to 2 million wildebeest herd together and are joined by thousands of zebras and gazelles to form super herds which follow the rains in search
of lush new grass.
Zebra and Wildebeest are found together often as the Zebra tend to feed on long tough grass stems preparing them for the broad muzzle of the wildebeest more suited
to close short grasses. The wildebeest of this territory seem to be ruled by the widely varied seasons by heading towards the south-east of the Serengeti during wet season and taking up residence in the more plentiful grounds of the woodlands in the north east during the dry months. As the migrations move in such large herds it is clearly apparent that the wildebeest themselves shape their chosen environments to their specific needs.
Although the migration is often portrayed as an intense phase of activity the 800 km pilgrimage is actually an ongoing cycle of movement and dispersal. Lions and
other carnivores do not migrate with the grazing animals but feast on them when their paths cross. Each year over 250,000 wildebeest alone will die as a result
of injury, exhaustion or predation.
The Migration is not a continually forward motion. As the wildebeest need to drink daily their movement is very much dominated by the accessibility of water and
they seem to have a sixth sense in following the storms.
There is never really a right or wrong time to visit as each season offers its own highlights but it is important to be in the right area according to season.
Dependent on rainfall, the timing of the cycle is never totally predictable, but generally around April/May prompted by vanishing water the migration sets off North
West to the Masai Mara. Between June and July the migration splits and one column passes west to Lake
Victoria, another passes north through Lobo before crossing the Grumeti River before finally dispersing on the Mara Plains.
One of the most popular times to visit is late January to early March when the wildebeest calves are born over a 3-5 week period. Most calves are born within a
'calving area' before midday. They quickly gain their feet and begin nursing within 3 - 8 minutes. If the mother moves away at this time, it will run beside her.
The defenseless young provide easy picking for lions, hyenas, and other predators but because so many calves are born in such a short time the predators do not
have time to eat them all. Ndutu Safari Lodge and Kusini Camp provide the best viewing for this but due to the popularity you really need to book a year in advance.
As a spectacle, the Migration offers so many varied views but perhaps the most poignant image is the famous crossing at the Grumeti and Mara Rivers. This spectacle
has been well documented by some excellent photography from the likes of the BBC and National Geographic. Forced on by the power of the herd the wildebeest have
no choice but to take a suicidal plunge into the crocodile infested waters often drowning in their thousands. One report from the migration this year estimated
between 5 and 10 thousand died at one place, amazingly this natural tragedy was simply attributed to a poor choice of crossing.
Kirawira Tented Camp and Grumeti River Camp are excellent locations for viewing the Grumeti crossing but luck has to be on your side to choose the right dates
as the crossing is over quite quickly.
From August to October the migration is usually in Kenya's Maasai Mara before returning south across
the Tanzanian border in November and usually by December the wildebeest disperse on the southern plains of the Serengeti.
In general East Africa is busiest and therefore most expensive in the dry season (July – October). As the water dries the animals flock to the remaining water
holes and rivers, the foliage is less dense and game viewing is made much easier with more frequent sightings. The Migration during these months is usually found
in the Northern Serengeti in Tanzania and the Mara in Kenya.
Early booking for these locations is essential as accommodation is limited.
The wet season, sometimes called green season due to the abundance of life offers value for money with sometimes 40% difference in price compared to peak season.
Although the green season is offered at a much lower rate than peak season some visitors would consider it a better time to visit with an abundance of bird life,
lush green vegetation and healthy looking wildlife. The long rains usually fall between mid-March through to May, these tropical thunderstorms tend to arrive in
the afternoon and usually disperse after a couple of hours so travel at this time is possible and offers excellent value for money.
Kenya and Tanzania offer a daunting selection of accommodation styles and Mahlatini can offer everything from luxury lodges and classic tented camps to simple
bush camping. Generally, lodges are much larger and not as personal as the other options but offer more amenities such as swimming pools, shops and perhaps a choice
of restaurants, just like a large hotel. One of the most important considerations is location, for example the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge has superb views of the Crater and the Mara Serena Lodge has a prime setting for the wildebeest crossing
of the Mara River. These lodges offer good value and an abundance of scenery and game viewing which is especially important for families and groups.
Tented camps are the perfect way to experience the African bush and this is the most popular choice with Mahlatini's discerning clients! Sleeping under canvas
reminds you that you are in Africa, but there is no need to compromise on comfort. Indeed most of our luxury options are tented, for example Kirawira Tented Camp and Kleins Camp in the
Serengeti. The Masai Mara is famous for its luxury camping options. The Governors Camps are synonymous with this Hemingway inspired tented safari and along with Elephant Pepper, Cottars 1920's and Saruni
Camp offer unparalleled exclusivity and tranquility. Luxury is just as much about experience as material extravagance. In these camps you are guaranteed personal
friendly service from people with a passion for the surrounding wilderness and wildlife.
Mobile safaris enable you to get into the heart of the African bush.All of the mobile camps we recommend boast luxury and privacy for each individual guest with rustic or luxury options available throughout. Camps are moved from location to location and facilities will depend of which end of the pricing scale you have chosen. The more luxurious options will offer amenities such as hot showers, a personal chef, luxurious beds and a mobile bar. The more basic camps will still provide many of the previously mentioned facilities on a shared basis along with comfortable mattresses and opportunity to dine under the stars depending on season. Travellers embarking on this style of safari can gain a much more eventful experience as they move with the tide and flow of the migration and become immersed in the shared habitat of the wildebeest themselves. A favourite of Mahlatini experts are the Asilia camps such as Olakira and Sayari in the Serengeti.
Flights between London Heathrow and Nairobi are daily and take about 8 hours.

Outfest Turns 30
By Eddie Shapiro
Pictured: Alan Cumming in Travis Fines' Any Day Now.
It's that time of year again in Los Angeles: Outfest! Eleven days of GLBT films, a slew of soirees, industry panels, and some of the best schmoozing of the year. Here in the land of film, Outfest isn't just a festival, it's holy week of sorts. This marks the 30th (gulp!) Outfest and, of course, a lot has changed over the years.
The festival itself has flourished, adding year-round programming, a separate festival for people of color, the founding of the Legacy Project to preserve LGBT film, and most recently, the partnership with Newfest in New York.
Simultaneously, our stories have evolved to match the entire LGBT movement. We've seen films go though all of the genres: gay rights; coming out; AIDS; bisexuality; hustlers; gay marriage; aging; transgender; bears; gaybies. So it's interesting, as we continue to assimilate and we see our ourselves portrayed more frequently in mainstream media, that filmmakers have the opportunity to explore some less-frequently explored subjects. Who'd have guessed that this year's festival would feature three films that that focus on disability?
White Frog (pictured at left) features Booboo Stewart leading a notable cast—BD Wong, Joan Chen, Harry Shum Jr.—in a story of a teenager with Asperger's. His journey, learning to open up to the world and emotionally connect, dovetails with a coming out story, similarly about finding and owning one's identity. Director Quentin Lee sees the mirroring even more broadly, "Some people can say that the movie makes an analogy about being disabled and being gay, " he says, "but remember I come from a minority perspective [Asian]. I am always thinking about characters outside the margins."
In Any Day Now, Alan Cumming plays Rudy, a drag queen who finds himself—improbably and quite suddenly—in a relationship with Paul, and the caretaker of Marco, a teenage boy with Down Syndrome. "Folks with Down syndrome are often called 'love children,' " says Director Travis Fine. "There is a warmth and a sweetness to Down syndrome that is very different from a lot of other handicaps." Marco's sweetness is, in fact, the film's heart, and in direct contrast to the hatred the trio encounter in trying to become a family.
In Michael Akers' Morgan (pictured at right) finds its young hero adjusting to life after a devastating biking accident which left him paralyzed. Confined to a wheelchair, he can barely face life, let alone life as a gay man. Dating doesn't even seem remotely possible, until he finds himself doing just that, and having to adjust to a life he's now sharing. Akers actually conceived of the film when he was auditioning actors for an earlier one, Phoenix."A young man called, wanting to come in but he didn't know if the audition space was wheelchair accessible. He was a young gay kid with Cerebral Palsy," explains Akers, who had not previously considered what gay life would be like in a wheelchair. "He talked about trying to meet people on websites and in bars. That was the germ of the idea. I think with digital cinema and digital distribution, people can tell extremely small, personal, almost pinpointed stories and have them get out there and have a voice."
Outfest runs July 12-22 in Los Angles. For tickets and information visit www.Outfest.org

When the Angels lost Kendry Morales a bit more than a week ago, they were 24-27 and averaging 4.4 runs per game. Since then, 7-1, and 7.3 runs per game. We might credit a soft schedule against two terrible teams, but I think we all know what's really going on: It's The Ewing Theory.
The Ewing Theory is a Bill Simmons meme that posits "when a longtime superstar who has never won a championship leaves the team via injury, trade or free agency, and the media writes the team off, the team will play better." Watered down and generalized a bit, we can state it as such: Teams that lose their superstar will not collapse, but actually improve.
So let's look at the Angels since Morales went down:
Meanwhile, all these gains came from positions other than first. Kendry's replacements at first have collectively batted just .278/.278/.389 since he went down.
I think we all know the Ewing Theory is sort of a joke, and it's unlikely that Kendry's injury caused all these improvements. But baseball is very, very unpredictable -- see: Padres -- and the Angels are only *somewhat* less likely to win the AL West without Kendry Morales than with him. Toronto Blue Jays consultant Tangotiger:
"Media: do me a favor, and next time an ace reliever goes down, just say this: "It's going to be a tough road for the team, but there's a decent chance that the team won't miss him at all. That's because baseball is subject to such random variation that to pin the outcome of the season to any one player is foolish."
It's going to be a tough road for the Angels, but there's a decent chance that the team won't miss him at all. Or only a little bit.

Megaupload Mega Shutdown Proves We Need Neither SOPA or PIPA
While two Megaupload executives have been bailed out of jail in New Zealand on Internet piracy charges filed in the U.S., Sandvine has released figures on how the shutdown of Megaupload affected other networks worldwide.
Sandvine says with all the attention on Internet regulation, a number of competing sites have either decided to shut themselves down, or dramatically alter the way files are uploaded or downloaded from their servers.
For example, FileSonic has halted any new uploads and is only allowing users to download their personal files.

Hi Katie :)
I have just started up my own blog and just wanted to thank you for the inspiration! This turkish delight infused vodka definitley caught my eye and I will have to try it!
If you have a spare second, I would love for you to pop over to my blog and let me know your thoughts ... am open to comments & suggestions!
Thanks Katie!

Probably a silly question but why do you wash the powdered icing sugar off the turkish delight, but then add caster sugar in with the vodka? Wouldn't it be OK to just leave it on or does it go funny when mixed with the vodka? I've made lots of fruit vodka but none with sweets yet, and been meaning to make a turkish delight one for ages, so just thought I'd check! :-)
- 20 March 2012 at 15:58
- Katiecakes said...
Hi Kavey,
The icing sugar causes the vodka to go cloudy and makes it very difficult to strain out of the final mixture. Caster sugar is dissolved before going it, keeping the vodka clear.
Hope this helps.

We visit family in Michigan at least twice a year and this is the place we prefer to stay instead of any other including hotels. Lourdean is a great friend now and the conversations pick up right where we left off. The breakfast will keep you full right through lunch! Both Gary and Lourdean are great cooks and the egg dishes and baked goods are wonderful! The backyard is really pretty with several birds and squirels. They have a hot tub in a screen patio that has little tables so you can even have a snack and drink out there in a romantic atmosphere. They have a den to watch their big movie collection on a big flat screen tv. The den has a pool table, snacks and a little fridge with local beers and wine! They know the area well should you need a few ideas for what to do around there. Everything is clean and the property well taken care of. Its like a little vacation everytime we go!

My sister and I were welcomed warmly to Waterloo Gardens, enjoying a delightful two night stay there recently. Comfortable beds and excellent breakfasts were appreciated, with a large variety of snacks, pop and bottled water at our disposal. Our friendly, outgoing hosts Lourdean and Gary, along with Jessie, the resident doggie, made for a memorable experience. When in the area again to visit The Purple Rose theatre, we would return to Waterloo Gardens without hesitation. A happy Canadian duo...

My husband, my daughter and myself stayed with Gary and Lourdean last fall and we just had the best time. You feel like so welcome from the moment you arrive. The rooms are decorated so nicely and the beds are comfy. Wear your stretchy pants to breakfast because they make a great spread! We will definitely be back.

WebtraffIQ releases christmas and New Year checklist
Web analytics vendor WebtraffIQ releases Christmas and New Year checklist for business owners
17 December 2004, London, UK --- Web analytics vendor WebtraffIQ, has released a Christmas and New Year checklist for website owners.
The guide entitled 'Preparing for Christmas and Beyond' serves as a wake up call for businesses in making sure that they are ready for the Christmas rush, and they are geared up for the New Year, in order to start the year on the best footing.
Marcos Richardson, European Director at WebtraffIQ explains, "Christmas and New Year are especially busy and are crucial times for businesses. Creating and maintaining an online presence is critical to healthy seasonal activity and performance not only for sales, but also for an organisations' brand."
Steps businesses should take include:
- Having the right supplies in administration, logistics and products for the possibility of increased Christmas demand is important in attracting and retaining existing customers. Businesses with bad supply lines risk diminished future demand.
- Using the correct tools and services will allow the forecasting and benchmarking for seasonal trends. This will help companies to keep track of customers; how they wish to interact and purchase.
- Preparation ahead of time for a smooth start to the New Year (learning from Christmas), giving businesses the edge against competitors.
- Ensuring that their websites are running 24/7 and tapping into new technology such as WebtraffIQ Alerts, that informs business owners if their site goes downs via SMS or email over one of the most crucial times of year.
"Business owners at the very least should know more about online audiences and how it affects their business on a day-to-day basis, from this point onwards. They have to make their budgets work harder during a very competitive time of the year, and web analytics is the business tool of today that will enable this. With products such as ours, they can be up and running, being more enlightened to their progress off and online within a few hours", adds Richardson.
----Notes to editors----
Photographs are available of the WebtraffIQ team.
The media spokespeople for WebtraffIQ are Marcos Richardson, European Director and Kevin Hutchinson, Chief Technical Officer (CTO).

Three GOP candidates for the state Senate were threatened with legal consequences last week after their campaign fliers used the Jeffco Public Schools logo and a Denver Post photo without permission.
Fliers in support of Tim Neville in Senate District 16, Tony Sanchez in District 22, and Laura Woods in District 19 featured the same design and also included a doctored photograph from last month's student protests in Jefferson County.
Editor's note: With mail ballots now in the homes of South Jeffco residents, the Columbine Courier is reviewing each race and the candidates vying for South Jeffco's votes.
Colorado's 1st Congressional District
Incumbent: Democrat Diana DeGette. Challenger: Republican Martin Walsh.
DeGette began representing South Jeffco after redistricting in 2010 and was re-elected in 2012 for a ninth term in the U.S. House of Representatives. She served in the state House from 1992-96.
The Jeffco school board agreed that Superintendent Dan McMinimee's performance-based salary incentives should align with the board's academic and student growth goals.
"It's important to me that a significant portion of (McMinimee's bonus) focus on achieving the academic goals this board has set," school board President Ken Witt said at last Thursday's study session.

Soaring vocals paired with fancy footwork when the Voices West choir and Littleton-based Adventures in Dance combined forces on Saturday.

Kathy Pride hasn't always been proud of her looks.
While undergoing chemotherapy for bone cancer, Pride, a professional hairstylist, lost all her hair and shrunk to 95 pounds.
"I looked like Beetlejuice," she said, referring to the 1988 film.
By Stephanie Alderton
For the Courier
When Dane Schley, 13, tells his friends he's in a band, they often think he's talking about his school's jazz ensemble.
But his band practices take place miles away from his classes at Deer Creek Middle School in a nondescript warehouse off Evans Avenue in Denver. And few middle school jazz bands begin their practices by playing a loud Black Sabbath medley with hair-flinging, head-banging gusto.
The Seniors' Resource Center was recognized last month for its work with senior citizens in Jefferson County and the metro area.
LeadingAge, a nonprofit organization of more than 6,000 groups that serve various needs of the senior community, gave the SRC its Excellence in Not-for-Profit Leadership Award for 2014.
The county commissioners still have more questions than answers when it comes to retail marijuana businesses opening in Jeffco.
During an Oct. 14 study session on other city and county regulations on commercial marijuana grow operations and retail stores, all three commissioners expressed interest in marijuana testing facilities and what revenue the businesses could generate.
Whether playing ice hockey at The Edge, enjoying a sunny afternoon at Clement Park or attending a community gathering at The Peak, the lives of countless South Jeffco residents are touched on a regular basis by the Foothills Park and Rec District.
Littleton, Chatfield, Columbine qualify for state playoffs
The Littleton Lions will be home for the first round of the 32-team 4A boys soccer state tournament, while Chatfield and Columbine will take to the road for the 5A tournament.
Littleton (12-3), seeded eighth, will host No. 25 Mesa Ridge (9-6) on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. at Littleton Public Schools Stadium with the winner advancing to the second round to be played on Oct. 28.

If you're in New Zealand, and suddenly the victim of an
unfortunate accident... at least you may take some comfort
knowing Westpac Rescue aircraft crews are on the
job, ready to fly you to the hospital. Aero-News learned this
weekend the Wellington-based helicopter crew flew one
seriously injured patient from the scene of a fatal car & truck
accident on the Rimutaka Hill Saturday.
The helicopter was called to the accident, about 3km south of
the twin bridges on the Featherston side of the Rimutaka Hill Road.
The helicopter, with a Wellington Free Ambulance Paramedic onboard,
landed near the scene around 12:40 pm local time.
"When we arrived the Wairarapa Ambulance Service and the Fire
Brigade has just finished extricating our patient from the car"
says Westpac Rescue Helicopter crewman Dave Greenberg. "Apparently
the Northbound truck lost it's brakes, rolling onto its side and on
top of the car as it rounded a bend".
The patient transported onboard the helicopter was a 54 year-old
Titahi Bay man. He was the front seat passenger of the car which
the truck landed on. He is in a serious condition suffering from
chest and other injuries, none of which are believed to be life
He was taken to the Emergency Department at Wellington
Also on Saturday, the
Wellington-based Life Flight NZ Air Ambulance picked up an injured
child from the Chatham Islands and the Auckland-based Life Flight
NZ Air Ambulance was picking up a premature baby from
The Wellington-based plane was sent to the Chatham Islands to
pick up a 13 year-old boy who was injured when he was thrown off
his horse. His arm was broken in several places and he requires
surgery. He was transported to Wellington and is expected to
undergo surgery this evening.
Meanwhile, the Auckland-based Life Flight NZ Air Ambulance was
sent to Christchurch to transport a sick premature baby back to
Starship Hospital.
Sounds like these crews need a weekend to recover from their
weekend... great job, all.

Our lovely co-founder Nora recently attended the 2010 Endeavor Gala honoring the Founding Team of Gilt Groupe as High-Impact Entrepreneurs of the Year. Nora loves to dance so we modified this garment to include extra room at the back and also lengthened the sleeves. We had fun with our film camera taking photos of her. Doesn't she look ravishing in her eponymous gown done in this dusty deep reddish blue silk shantung?

Oh my ---there are just so many great movies hitting the theatres right now I don't know how I will see them all. This has actually been a very good year already, and they have saved a lot of the best for last. This is strategic planning on their part in order to keep the titles fresh in the minds of those doing the voting for all the up-coming awards ceremonies.
Currrently showing or coming very shortly are the following great choices:
"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" -- This is the Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law franchise and if you saw the first you know how much fun it was. We have that on our shelves at CPL, as well as numerous other Holmes adaptations- see my previous post. Since that time we also now carry the excellent modern re-telling that has been showing up on PBS Mystery Theatre and starring the tremendously named Benedict Cumberbatch. These are intelligent, fast-paced and very well done---with Sherlock using an iphone instead of a magnifying glass!
"Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol", the fourth offering in this Tom Cruise franchise-it has made him mega millions---they are very popular and highly entertaining. We have 1 ,2, 3.
"Hugo"---a children's movie directed by Martin Scorsese? Really? Based on the wildly popular book "The Invention of Hugo Cabret", a fellow Movie Maniac saw this and can't say enough good things about it.
"The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" starring Daniel Craig of 007 fame. This is the English remake based on the international smash trilogy. Already done by the Swedes in their native language, this is the highly anticipated release directed by David Fincher. We have all 1, 2, 3 of the sub titled Swedish releases and it will be interesting to compare the two.
"The Adventures of TinTin" -directed by Spielberg and featuring Peter Jackson's excellent skills at CGI and motion capturing. Also from Spielberg this season is "War Horse"---getting buzz as the best movie ever made about a horse! And if that sounds kind of corny to you, there are actually lots of excellent movies about horses.
"The Artist"- as Maclean's film critic Brian Johnson quips 'finally a French movie that doesn't need subtitles'. Silent and in black and white it is also generating lots of buzz.
And if like me you are waiting with baited breath for the as yet untitled Star Trek sequel, you'll have to wait till May 17,2013!
Hope you can take in some of these. And if you do, I would love to hear your opinion about any or all of them. Just drop us a line through 'comments'. Have a wonderful Christmas and check back here after the 25th for a great contest we will be running.

London Calling
The red cups at Starbucks are back. It is November 1st, after all…. The Pfister Hotel is getting in that infectious holiday spirit as well. Who needs dinner when you can have late afternoon tea? The Pfister's pouring it at Blu on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (3-4:30 p.m.) starting this week (Nov. 2). Ceylon black cinnamon, Chinese oolong, red berry. Pick your pleasure and tea butler Juan Rodriguez will make you feel like you're sipping tea at Harrod's. Perhaps. Pair that thirst with some hunger and you can get this: fresh scones with mascarpone, lemon curd and strawberry preserves; cheeses with crackers, lavash and sliced baguette; and a tricked-out tray of curried quail eggs, turkey pinwheels with red onion marmalade, crab Louis salad with gherkins and pumpernickel rye, opera torte, and chocolate-dipped strawberries. Blu (23rd floor) at Pfister Hotel (424 E. Wisconsin Ave.) Reservations required: 414-935-5942.
Lombardi Legacy
You could eat at 25 restaurants in one night – in a way. This weekend's 2012 Lombardi Food & Wine Experience features some pretty cool events. First off, Friday night's Food & Wine Tasting Gala (6:30-9:30 p.m.). Some 20 local restaurants are in charge of the "tasting" part of the event. Examples: Capital Grille, Dream Dance Steak, Eddie Martini's, Rumpus Room, Jake's Restaurant, Maxie's Southern Comfort and Zarletti. Tickets are $100 each, and the event is held at the Pfister Hotel (424 E. Wisconsin Ave.). On Saturday night (Nov. 3), there's the Celebrity Chef and Wine Dinner (6:30-10 p.m.) held at the Milwaukee Athletic Club (758 N. Broadway).The celeb chef is Ken Frank, of Napa Valley's La Toque. Frank will prepare the multi-course meal, paired with wines from Robert Sinskey Vineyards. Tickets? $250 per person. Later in November – the 30th, to be exact – is the final Lombardi event, the Connoisseur Room (6:30-8:30 p.m.) at the Intercontinental Milwaukee Hotel (139 E. Kilbourn Ave.). High-end wine is the main order of business, with food provided by the hotel's Kilawat. All the events benefit the Vince Lombardi Cancer Center and cancer clinics.
Look for Dish on Dining on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Since 1975, every government in the capital Ndjamena has come to power as the result of an armed rebellion, several of them originating in the east of the country.
The latest such attempted rebel offensive was apparently crushed by government forces earlier this month, as air raids killed 220 fighters and destroyed 100 of their vehicles, according to officials.
Chad took the mopping up operation that followed as far as the border with Sudan, where the government says the rebels are based and receive material support from the Khartoum government.
Idriss Deby, the Chadian president, is from the east himself and, in 1989, launched an armed campaign against the then government from across the border in Sudan's western Darfur region.
Initially, the Sudanese backed Deby's bid for power and he eventually toppled Hissene Habre, the former Chadian leader, one year later.
However, after several years of good relations, Deby fell out with the Sudanese government over the Darfur conflict, blaming Khartoum for the killing of members of his Zagawa ethnic group who straddle the Chadian-Sudanese border.Rival factions
Ethnic ties do not, however, tell the whole story as the Zagawa have never been united in one tribal or political entity.
In Darfur, they are divided between the factions of Sudan Liberation Movement (SLA) of Minni Minnawi and the Justice and Equality Movement (Jem) led by Khalil Ibrahim. The Zagawa of Chad are split between those loyal to Deby and others supporting the rebel groups in the east.
Chad's rebels have failed several times to reach Ndjamena and topple Deby, but before the May 4 offensive they claimed that they were more prepared than ever.
Preparations had been under way for five months and eight groups had been brought together under the banner of the Union of Resistance Forces (UFR).
They chose the leader of the Rally of Democratic Forces, Timane Erdimi, a nephew of Deby, as commander-in-chief. The move was designed to sway some of Deby's generals from the same tribe and thus weaken his support among his own military. The government success, therefore, led it to claim not just a decisive victory over the UFR, but also over Khartoum, which it accuses of directly orchestrating the attack.Rebel support
Sudan has categorically denied any involvement, but it is widely believed that Khartoum provides rear bases and military support to some Chadian factions.
The ongoing tensions between the two neighbours began to reach a climax in April 2006, when Chadian rebels battled their way to the outskirts of Ndjamena leaving hundreds of people dead.
Chad cut diplomatic ties with Sudan, accusing it of backing the rebels.
A similar incident in February 2008 saw rebels besiege the presidential palace and nearly topple the government. Deby needed French military assistance to stay in power.
One month later, the two countries signed a peace deal following negotiations brokered by Senegal.
The accord was, however, short-lived as relations came under strain yet again just three months later when Jem rebels advanced as far as the Sudanese capital.
It was the first time that a Darfuri group had managed to attack Khartoum.
The Sudanese government saw the offensive as a clear act of aggression by Chad and diplomatic ties between the two countries were severed again.
Peace deals
This month's offensive in Chad, and the subsequent tit-for-tat allegations, came shortly after the two sides signed the latest in a series of agreements supposed to bring hostilities to an end.
Now the prospect of a final peace deal, scheduled to be signed by Deby and Omar al-Bashir, his Sudanese counterpart, in Libya this month has been thrown into doubt.
It is highly unlikely that Sudan and Chad can ever be fully reconciled without a resolution to the conflict in Darfur, but there are other factors fuelling Chad's political instability.
Libya and France have both played a part in previous armed rebellions, supporting efforts to topple governments opposed to their interests or backing Ndjamena when a friendly leader is in power.
Libya shares ethnic ties with Chad, while France views the former colony of Chad, which exports more than 200,000 barrels of oil a year, as a strategic entry point into oil-rich central Africa.

Icelandair To Launch Newark Service
QUINCY, Mass., April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Icelandair is pleased to announce it will begin scheduled service from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) on October 28, 2013.
Icelandair has served the New York City market for over 60 years with flights to and from John F. Kennedy International (JFK) and will continue to do so. The Newark flights will supplement the JFK service and will operate four times per week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Birkir Holm Gudnason, CEO of Icelandair said "Our New York traffic has been growing during the winter months, and we have increased our frequency up to ten flights per week. In fact, three days of the week we have two flights taking off within minutes of each other. With the addition of our Newark service we will be able to transfer some of this traffic to another airport that will provide our passengers with more choice, added flexibility and increased flight connection options."
Newark will be the 11th Icelandair gateway in North America and the 36th destination within the Icelandair global route network. "These flights will support both our connecting flights across the Atlantic and the growing winter tourism industry in Iceland," Gudnason added.The 2013 timetable is the largest in Icelandair's 76 year history and is 15% larger than last year. Newark is the fourth destination that has been introduced this year joining Anchorage, Alaska, St. Petersburg, Russia and Zurich, Switzerland. In addition to Newark, Icelandair offers service to Iceland from Boston, New York-JFK, Seattle, Denver and Toronto with seasonal service from Washington, D.C., Minneapolis-St. Paul, Orlando Sanford, Halifax, and Anchorage (starting May 15, 2013). Connections through Icelandair's hub at Keflavik International Airport are available to more than 20 destinations in Scandinavia, the U.K. and Continental Europe. Only Icelandair allows passengers to stopover in Iceland at no additional airfare. Additional information about Icelandair's fares and packages to Iceland and beyond is available at www.icelandair.com or by calling (877) I-FLY-ICE. SOURCE Icelandair

Throughout the System Restructuring Initiative, the Department of Human Services/Division of Mental Health (DHS/DMH) has sought to encourage and support participation and input from individuals receiving services (consumers) and families of children
and adolescents receiving services (families).
This has included:
Recognizing that even best efforts for inclusion of consumers in scheduled meetings were only reaching a relatively small segment of the overall consumer pool, the Services Work Group of the System Restructuring Initiative recommended that consumer
focus groups be held state-wide to assist in identifying priorities and service preferences.
As a result, the Summary of Consumer Focus Groups (pdf) report summarizes the process, key findings, and potential impacts of the
voices heard in these focus groups.

|I am giving a surprise party for a girlfriend turning 40. Her husband has recently been deployed and she is now playing single mom to three boys. I'm looking for an inexpensive way to throw a surprise party and have lots of fun also. Can it be done?
Follow-Up Postings:

- Posted by eileen_launonen (My Page) on Fri, Feb 21, 03 at 8:39
|Im the party queen...on a budget your best bet is to stay with only a few dishes such as a 6ft hero 10lbs of potatoe salad a green tossed salad and a tray of Baked Ziti. I found that if you put out 10 dishes theyll eat from all 10 if you put out 3 there just as content. On a budget stay away from cheese platters they can be very expensive Id put out the basics of potato chips and Nachos with salsa. I too would have a house party and save the cost of the hall rental unless you get a good deal from a American Legion Hall Knights of Colmbus or a church!

Hoarding: Tips for Functional Living
We all accumulate clutter; however, when it becomes a big enough problem to significantly impair your life, it is important to be aware of the support that exists. Hoarding can cause considerable distress for those experiencing symptoms, but the good news is that there are effective ways to support ourselves, our friends, and our family members when clutter has taken over.
Tips for hoarders: Remember you are not alone. Hoarding has been estimated to occur in 5% of the population or 15 million people in the US. So there are many people out there who struggle with similar issues. There are also many researchers and mental health professionals that have focused on finding ways to help hoarding individuals. So far, cognitive-behavioral therapy has shown to be the most effective treatment. Therapy can help to identify underlying beliefs and feelings related to hoarding, provide organizational and decision-making skills, and address any others issues such as anxiety, depression, or relationship problems.
Tips for family and friends of hoarders: One of the most difficult things for us to accept is that the individual who is struggling with hoarding needs to make their own arguments for change. We cannot force, threaten, persuade, or shame them into it. We also cannot do it for them. So unless the clutter is immediately life-threatening, the best we can do is to offer support and empathy. Instead of nagging or arguing, ask the individual how hoarding helps and hurts them, ask if their behaviors are consistent with their values and goals, and ask whether they are they living the life they want to be living. You can also emphasize the importance of spending time together rather than focusing on physical items or enabling hoarding behaviors. Lastly, share with the individual that help is out there. You can provide them with information about treatment as well as other resources such as professional organizers. Mostly importantly, we have to remember that change takes time and hoarding does not go away overnight.
Andrea Umbach, M.A. is a therapist at Southeast Psych as well as the Founder of Charlotte Anxiety Consortium. Andrea enjoys working with teens, adults, and couples and specializes in anxiety disorders. Andrea directs a group called "Kick the Clutter", which helps individuals gain a better understanding of hoarding and learn new skills that allow for more functional living.

Once Upon a Time Round Table: "Bleeding Through"by Christine Orlando at . Updated at . Comments
Once Upon a Time stepped into the past to reveal why Cora gave up baby Zelena this week, while also making it evident what Zelena plans to do to change her fate.
Below,TV Fanatics Jim Garner, Michelle Calbert and Robin Harry are joined by Gareth from Once Upon a Fan to decide who was worse - Cora or Eva - and to discuss what they thought of Rumpelstiltskin's attempts at seduction on Once Upon a Time Season 3 Episode 18...
Who did you think was worse, Cora or Eva?
Jim: Two sides of the same coin. Both had selfish reasons for doing what they did. However, I think in time Eva learned to love the king, whereas Cora was really only after power.
Michelle: Definitely Cora. I could maybe have believed she loved "Prince Jonathan," but it was obvious she was just using Leopold from day one. Eva simply told the truth about what she had heard, Cora was the one who had been lying.
Gareth: Definitely Cora. She was willing to deceive Leopold and pretend the baby was his, proving how manipulative she was even with her heart intact. I have never been able to sympathize with Cora.
Robin: Cora is THE WORST. Ava was opportunistic and condescending, but she only forced Cora out of the palace. Ava at least became a good mother. Cora was a gold-digging, thieving liar who chose to give up her first child just so she could continue her quest to marry rich and powerful, and then mind-screwed her second child for the same reason. Awful.
Are you happy with the changes in Regina or do you long for more of the Evil Queen?
Jim: I love, love, love the new Regina. She is so much more layered than the she was as the Evil Queen. Not being evil is like Regina's own personal 12-step program; she struggles against it everyday and has to make amends to those she hurt along the way.
Michelle: I am so happy to see the old Evil Queen gone. I love where they have taken Regina and I look forward to seeing her journey continue.
Gareth: I love the character development we have seen this season with Regina. Her scenes with Snow were great. They both seem to understand each other intimately and can have an honest relationship with each other now.
Robin: I absolutely love watching a character evolve as Regina has. She's battled her demons, she's realized what's important in her life, and she takes a step towards redemption every single day. She's fascinating.
Do you want to see Zelena go back in time?
Jim: Not at all, as I'm terrified they will use that to reset "the story." While that trick worked for Eureka, I'm not sure it would work for Storybrooke.
Michelle: I definitely don't want any sort of reset, but I think it could be interesting to see her go back in time if only to get a glimpse of a different reality. But I would only want a glimpse - think It's a Wonderful Life - and then see it all snap back where it belongs.
Gareth: As long as it is not another long term reset. I wouldn't mind if the finale was a "what if" kind of situation, in which we see what life could have been like had Zelena changed history. That would be cool but I wouldn't want it to drag on for 11 episodes! Even if Zelena succeeds in going back and getting rid of Ava, there are so many variables. I have a feeling Zelena will still not get what she wants and may be just as unhappy.
Robin: I'm with Gareth and Jim on this - I'm okay with one or two episodes of what-could-have-been, but I would hate if they used this as a reset button.
Zelena and Rumpelstiltskin's kiss, seductive or EWW?
Jim: I will freely admit that Zelena looked good... but I was still grossed out. I knew he was doing it to try and get the dagger, but I still shuttered.
Michelle: So. Much. Ew. I seriously could barely watch it. I think Rumple is hella sexy but with Zelena....just ick. I was so glad to see he had just been trying to seduce the dagger off of her. Way to go, Rumple!
Gareth: It was pretty hot. Zelena is very sexy. Ultimately though, it was pretty obvious what Rumple was after.
Robin: Both. The way Rumpel went all in was pretty seductive, but the purpose of the kiss and Zelena's...umm...vocalizations during the kiss really put it in the ewww zone.
What was your favorite scene from this Once Upon a Time Season 3 episode?
Jim: Regina and Snow right before she went and found Robin (just barely beating out the Regina/Robin kiss). Snow and Regina are realizing they have more in common than they thought. And Snow telling Regina she can feel without her heart was pretty spot on!
Michelle: Regina and Robin's kiss. I feel like we've been waiting for it forever (even though it hasn't actually been that long), so it was fantastic to see her finally with her true love.
Gareth: The scenes with Regina and Snow. It was great to see them talking about their past. Regina protecting Snow from her mother was such a huge turnaround. I felt like this episode marked a new beginning for both of them. They were finally letting go of the past. And then the Robin/Regina kiss! Just topped off a great episode.
Robin: Jim and Gareth mentioned the best scenes, so I'll give another for variety's sake. I loved the scene where Emma was showing Hook her magic. The reversal of their personalities was intense; for once, Emma was joking around and light-hearted with him, and Hook was serious and miserable. I felt so bad for him.
C. Orlando is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Once Upon a Time, Round Tables
I agree that Regina has evolved over the course of the series, but there is still traces of the evil queen except now she uses her evil persona for good now. When she and Zelena were having their wicked west showdown and Zelena was trying to take her heart I saw the evil queen swim to the surface
I loved the scene of Regina & Robin. I was glad that when they showed the episode of Tinker Bell showing Regina who her true love was & then for them not to take their time in developing the storyline between the two now that Neverland is over has been great. Can't wait to see what they have in story for them. As for Emma & Hook, he needs to tell someone about the curse. He is just miserable looking now.
I loved the diner scene between Emma and Hook. It was so heartwarming to see Emma so happy and at ease with him - playing with his hook as a means to show that she's comfortable with ALL of him an episode after he encouraged her to embrace ALL of her was genious. It was heartbreaking though too. Hook has been nothing but loving and supportive towards Emma and now that she's finally let go off the past and taking a step towards him.he feels he has to pull away...I feel for Killian with every Fibre of my being. I really hope they will tackle the curse lips situation in 3x19. He is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders at the moment but he still stays to help - wonderful character development for Killian as well throughout the whole season. He's definitely become my favorite male character on the show (though Charming and Rumple are close behind) and I'm rooting for him with all.my heart that the woman he loves so unconditionally and selflessly will love him back!
I die for Hook. Can we talk about his wonderful character development as well? As much as Regina, Hook has also grown so much over the course of the last two seasons. I'm loving it!
Great RT
1. Cora or Eva?
Cora for sure! I mean I felt for Cora and the things she went through. She was looking for some security but it was her mistake. I think Leopold could look over the fact Zelena wasn't his daughter and accept her. But it's not the bad thing that makes U evil it's the choice to lie and trick the people you care about. Once more Kudos to Rose! I love to hate her.
2.Regina or Evil Queen?
Regina for sure. She kep her humor but has the ability to see things right. The young Regina who put all the bullying and additional hate into Her Revenge towards Snow is gone. You can't erase what happened to her but she embrassed it and evolved from hat point.
3.Zelena go back in time?
I don't see it happening, I would love for her to bring young Cora to present time. But the only way I could see time travel happen is for our crew to meet the brothers Grimm in who knows what century and tell them the fairytales.
4.Zumple kiss?
I came to a place where I really like Zelena, but Rumple doesn't like Zelena she was a tool for a goal.
5. Favorite scene.
Outlaw Kiss and all flashback scenes.

Looks like the Big Apple is a little too big for poor Lily Allen! The Brit singer is in New York promoting and performing. This morning she got lost and walked into the Prada store very confused thinking it was her hotel! Whoops! You would think that with all those paps following her around she could have just asked for directions!

"Alive" is Park Planet's way of welcoming everyone into the new year. Released soon after the start of 2013, this track is a brilliant way to kick off another 365 days of amazing music. This tune has all the trademark sounds you'd expect to hear from Park Planet, which will please everyone from first time listeners to well-seasoned fans. As usual, the guitar work is melodic, beautiful, and perfectly blended with the rest of the sounds. And the vocals are as smooth and gorgeous as ever! Loving all these new releases lately!
