Plainfield man beats death, has 'miraculous' recovery
By Janet Lundquist email@example.com October 11, 2012 7:38PM
Plainfield resident Judy Kuriger (second from left) stands with nurses Evelia Lopez (far left), Lana Peters, (third from left) and Angela McGee (center) as her husband Roy (far right) meets with nurse Christine Machalek (second from right) at Provena St. Joseph Medical Center Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, at 333 Madison St. in Joliet. The nurses assisted in reviving Roy when he went 25 minutes with no palpable pulse. | Matthew Grotto~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: November 13, 2012 6:07AM
JOLIET — All the science in the world doesn't fully explain how Roy Kuriger of Plainfield was able to make a solid recovery after 25 minutes without a discernible pulse.
"In my humble opinion, it seems like this is kind of a divine intervention kind of thing," said Dr. Daniele DeGirolami, a cardiologist at Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center who has treated Kuriger. "I find this to be really extraordinary. I find the work of God at play here."
Kuriger, 63, was admitted to Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center on Sept. 30 after he passed out at his Plainfield home and his doctor suspected a heart problem.
Stricken Oct. 3
Pulmonary Critical Care Physician John Walsh was in the hallway outside Kuriger's room the morning Kuriger crashed. It was Oct. 3, and Walsh had just finished going over a scan of Kuriger's lung with a nurse who was treating him when it happened.
Kuriger's wife, Judy Kuriger, found her husband sprawled across his hospital bed, not breathing. She screamed for help.
"He was unresponsive, didn't have a pulse," Walsh said. "I was able to intubate him in moments. We were resuscitating for what was probably 25 minutes.
"The electricity of his heart continued, but we couldn't feel a pulse," Walsh said. "We thought maybe he had a heart attack, but it didn't fit perfectly."
A crowd of hospital staff immediately formed around Kuriger's bed to help resuscitate him. Once he was breathing again and had a heartbeat, an angiogram showed his heart arteries were open, but that the right side of his heart was straining.
A CAT scan showed clots in his lungs. Kuriger started clot medication and was off a ventilator the next day.
Through CPR and other treatment, hospital staff members were able to maintain the blood flow to Kuriger's brain, Walsh said, which is likely why he was able to wake up after 25 minutes without a pulse and have no brain damage.
"It's nice to have something like this ... to remind you that's why we do it," Walsh said. "It's nice to see good things come to good people like this. It's heartwarming."
No memory of event
Kuriger said he doesn't remember any of it.
One minute he was standing up, using the restroom. The next thing he knew, he was lying in a hospital bed.
There was no white light or peaceful feeling, either, he said.
It was one of the first things his sister, Linda Moffett, asked him when he woke.
"'Did you see the light?' I said, 'I didn't see nothing,'" Kuriger said.
Kuriger had a pulmonary embolism, caused by blood clots that had gotten stuck in his lung and were blocking the flow of blood from the right side of his heart.
He suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest with pulseless electrical activity (PEA), DeGirolami said.
"You don't have blood flow, but you have an electrical impulse," he said. "What's miraculous about him is that typically people who develop PEA, they do not survive."
Stared down death
But Kuriger looked particularly good on Oct. 5 for a man who stared death in the face, still hospitalized but surrounded by family and the nurses who worked on him that day. He was cleared to go home and left the hospital Thursday.
Kuriger not only survived the near-death encounter, but also had a stroke in November. He's currently fighting tongue cancer as well.
Being in St. Joe's was somewhat nostalgic for Kuriger, who met his wife there 42 years ago.
At the time he was visiting his hospitalized mother, who had a heart attack. Judy was a certified nurse's assistant who was helping to take care of her.
"She walked in the room, and that quick, she stole my heart," Roy said, adding that after Judy left the room he told his mother he would marry her.
They married in 1972 and had two sons. Judy still works at the hospital.
Kept hoping
While she watched the doctors and nurses work on her husband — and watched the minutes pass while he still was not breathing — Judy said she never gave up hope he would come through.
"My mind was just to save him. I just wanted him to live," she said.
"And he did," said Lana Peters, a nurse who worked on Kuriger that day, with fellow nurses Angela McGee, Evelia Lopez and Christine Machalek.
Kuriger said he was told after his stroke in November that he should have been paralyzed or dead.
"I don't know the reason why" (I'm still alive), Kuriger said, holding his wife's hand and kissing it. "She's my angel."
Moffett recently set up a benefit fund to collect donations to help with Kuriger's mounting medical bills at First Midwest Bank in Joliet.

Darth Cheney is one of my favorite people.+9
Dick Cheney, has more patriotism in his hair follicles, the Barry and Michelle have combined in their entire miserable existence. I love this guy.+8
[...] Cheney Takes Flamethrower To Obama [...]+2
Flamethrower. I like that description.
Cheney's the best. Wish he had a stronger heart and would have run for the White House.+4
I used to wonder why HW Bush stopped short of Baghdad and let Saddam Hussein remain in power. I think now he may have keying off of Reagan's policy of "show these dictators who is boss" as he did with Ghaddafi. Keeping them in power is keeping relative stability to that state. Despotism is preferrable to anarchy. Obama seems to desire the latter.+3
Dick Cheney is one of the few "adults" to have passed through Washington in recent memory.
@Boobie, he underwent a heart transplant back in March, and apparently is doing very well.+3

1. Rip long strips of drop cloth about 3" wide. I ripped them the length of the drop cloth which I think it's 8'.
2. Dip in tea or coffee to stain (if desired)
3. Hang to dry
4. Wrap foam wreath with the cloth, making sure you cover the entire wreath and pin in place
7. The picture above shows you how I tied the knots of both burlap and drop cloth around the wreath until entire wreath was covered
8. Embellish with flowers, leaves, etc.
Note: Because of my impatience I decided to dry the drop cloth in the drier, which unfortunately turned into a huge mess as the strips became extremely tangled and frayed. Will I ever learn?
I really like the softness of the wreath, yet the various textures of the dried hydrangeas and of course the burlap scream Fall to me.
I love summer, but during the Fall months is when my creativity seems to take a little bit of a spike as I always feel more inspired. I am not really sure what it is about Fall that makes me feel like a 'real' artist.
During mt recent time off, I had time to think about what I want for this little Craftberry Bush. I am not sure how things will unfold, but I do know I want you to be a part of it. Be it through a linky party, Q&A sessions, New Blogger highlights...basically all those little things that were helpful to me when I first started.

Us Restaurant
412 Main St., Middletown, (860) 788-6544, usrestaurantct.com
We appear to be having a fried-chicken moment. As culinary crazes go, we may have moved past all things bacon and pork (or some of us may have at least). Swine time is perhaps behind us. It's not clear what the food obsession of the next few years will be, but fried chicken is in the running. The lure of fried chicken is what recently drew me to Us, a new restaurant on Middletown's Main Street.
Brooklyn restaurants like Pies & Thighs and The Commodore have put fowl back on center stage. And national magazines, newspapers and publishing houses have followed along, offering instructions on how to fry the best chicken. Somewhere along the line fried chicken went from being a standard comfort food — something practically everyone made (especially south of the Mason Dixon Line) to an intimidating challenge, one that required special equipment, expertise, advance planning and bravery. (Striking the balance between a crispy exterior crust and moist and juicy meat inside is tricky — many people have served a drumstick that was golden brown on the outside but pink and undercooked at the bone. Not cool.)
Fried chicken at sit-down restaurants isn't ubiquitous in these parts. Not that there's any shortage of Popeye's, KFC or other grub-in-a-tub action. (I'm partial to Bojangle's, which requires a roadtrip.) When I saw that Us serves fried chicken, I was ready to pay a visit. Even more enticing, they serve chicken and waffles. That combination of fried chicken and waffles is a little mysterious. (Incidentally, chicken and waffles recently got a jolt in its profile when the combo was a finalist in a Lay's potato chip "Do Us a Flavor" contest, which sought out new flavor suggestions from customers.) It's generally associated with soul food, and I've read that it was considered to be the classic late-night (or early-morning) party food at Harlem rent parties, back in the 1920s and '30s. Think of it as the 24-hour-diner fare of a different time.
It was neither late night nor early morning when I stopped by at Us. It was a slow afternoon, between lunch and dinner, but the kitchen was still cooking, and still serving fried chicken, surprisingly. Us is a spacious restaurant, with a cool and sleek white interior, with black accents. There are huge paintings of contemporary soul and pop artists on the wall. Flatscreens behind the bar played hypnotic aquarium footage. The stereo cranked the smoothest of smooth jazz.
The spot used to be a couple of other different restaurants. The transformation of the space is pretty remarkable. There's a lot of room in there.
Us is a nice addition to the wildly eclectic mix of restaurants in Middletown. There's Tibetan, dozens of pizza and Italian places, Vietnamese, Mexican, Jamaican, BBQ, solid pub fare and a lot more. Us serves soul food with a Caribbean touch to it. The menu includes pan-seared snapper, jerk-spiced fillet mignon, wine-braised oxtail, curry goat, pernil, ribs with Hopping John and collards, and quite a bit more. This is soul food and Island cooking with fancy frills. The draft beer selection caught my attention. There was an oak-aged beer from Inness and Gunn, a popular Scottish craft brewery. The always refreshing Peroni and a saison from Connecticut's own Two Roads were also on tap, among a few other notables. I thought the selection showed good sense, and it captured the kind of bold wide-ranging spirit that seems to infuse the cooking at Us, too.
I ordered the chicken and waffles. That, aside from some sweet and soft cornbread that came before my meal, was all I ate at Us. But it gave me an idea of how they do things. It turns out the chicken and waffles were sort of a riff on chicken and waffles. To start with, the waffles were red velvet waffles, meaning they were bright red (food coloring) and sort of cake-y. And the chicken was a boneless chicken breast that had been fried, sort of what you might call "chicken fried chicken." (My definition of fried chicken includes a bone.) Upping the boldness factor, the plate, in addition to little pools of maple syrup and squirts of soft butter, had been adorned with dots of sriracha.
The chicken had a pleasing crust, with a hint of herbs (thyme?) in the exterior and the convergence of sweet and savory, soft and crunchy, spicy hot and buttery made for a fun and funky meal. My thinking is that just regular old chicken and waffles is probably enough to perplex many diners, but to make the dish even racier by including red-velvet waffles and fiery accents of sriracha, I thought was a sign of boldness on the part of the kitchen. I hope it pays off. And I hope more customers are intrigued and impressed than the few that might be left scratching their heads.

Adventurers, while industrious, sometimes have periods of laziness. In that case, they turn to passive damage! Does damage without the adventurer having to lift a finger!
This damage is broken up into Extra Attacks and Stinging Damage. Familiars are listed comprehensively in a separate page, the Mad Hatrack, and the Fancypants Scarecrow article. Poison is a special type of damage caused by certain items and familiars, and is covered on the page for Poison Damage. As a general rule, decaying effects do initial damage which decays in successive combat rounds, and can stack with other decaying effects.
These sources, when equipped or in effect, can cause additional damage to the opponent each round of combat, even if you miss. They are sorted in the order the game displays their messages.
These sources, when equipped or in effect, will cause additional damage to the opponent only if the opponent successfully attacks you. It is entirely possible that even if the stinging damage does enough damage to kill the opponent, you can still die and lose the combat from the opponent's attack. They are sorted in the order the game displays their messages.

Located on the eastern coast of Africa, Kenya is a country rich with big game safari viewing and a diverse terrain boasting snowcapped mountain peaks, pristine beaches and coral reefs. In addition to all this beautiful terrain, Kenya plays host to the great wildebeest migration and has a year-round temperate climate. Topping off all the natural beauty and wildlife of the country, it's also home to more than 40 distinct tribal groups, keeping Kenya as one of the top safari and cultural destinations on the African continent.
It's midnight at the Ulusaba Private Game Reserve (www.ulusaba.com) in Sabi Sands, Sir Richard Branson's uber-luxe lodge consisting of multiple grand tree houses perched on the slope of a koppie; a rocky hill typical in the African veld. After a long dinner of wildebeest and some of South African's finest wines, sleep comes easily—but not for long. Within an hour of laying my head on the pillow I bolt upright from the loud thumping on my roof. One, two, three and more followed. What's happening? Then I see them outside my bedroom's glass doors, 20 to 30 baboons peering in at me. Once my breathing returns to normal I am able grasp the awesomeness of my surroundings and lay back down thinking, Welcome to safari.
The earth begins to tremble with the percussion of stampeding hooves, the noise rising to a crescendo of throaty grunts as the herd approaches, all snout and sinew, in a word: spectacular. This is no Discovery channel show; it's the real deal. The Great Migration of wildebeest from their calving grounds in the Serengeti to their feeding grounds in the Masai Mara is one of the last great shows on Earth.
Kenya's appeal in easy to understand. Beneath its snowcapped mountains lie the vast plains and beautiful lakes that support its exotic wildlife and set the stage for the epic migration. Kenya's temperate year-round climate is a blessing to travelers and travel planners, though the best months for game watching are the dry seasons that last from January – February and July – August.
You may not think it but Kenya's geography is as diverse as that of the United States. Great Lakes? They've got 'em. Beautiful coastline? Yep, they've got that too. Mountain ranges and big cities? Check and check—not to mention something most other countries do not have: indigenous tribes and the Big Five.
Elephants, black rhinoceros, leopards, lions and cape buffalo are the "big five" of trophy hunters heading on safari in Africa, but not because they're the largest animals. These mammals have always been considered the most dangerous to humans wandering the vast savannahs of Kenya.
Although today's hunters stalk game for photographs, not taxidermy opportunities, the "big five" still draw travelers to Kenya. There is, however, much more to a trip to this East African country than animals – which, truth be told, are easier to see, up close and personal, in an American zoo.
The excitement of your clients' first encounter with a member of the "Big Five—" lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, or leopard - will outdistance any pause they may have about booking a trip of a lifetime during this economic crisis. At the same time, convincing them that this is the time to go on safari is challenging, but will be rewarding for clients and agents. This could be the best time to go - when money is freefalling and who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Current methods for the dynamic analysis of horizontal axis wind turbines are explored. The paper first introduces the reader to typical wind turbine configurations and provides background on the current status of the wind industry. Blade element aerodynamic analysis is covered first, with insight into the current status of aerodynamic analysis methods. Next, the importance of resonant vibration analysis is discussed. Forced dynamic analysis is the final analysis area to be addressed. The dynamic analysis computer code FLAP (Force and Loads Analysis Program) is discussed in some detail to give the reader a clear idea of the level and complexity of blade dynamics. Current areas of research and advanced wind turbine designs are the final subjects considered. These are intended to give the reader some idea of how the technology will progress during the next five to ten years. In closing, the reason that lead researchers to believe that wind technology can be significantly improved through a better knowledge of their dynamic behavior are discussed.

17.6 Concluding Remarks
Biosensor technology has expanded much in the past decade. Even though soil is a very complex environment that introduces additional requirements to reporter gene application and detection, many biosensor studies have been performed in soil. Such studies have proven to be excellent tools revealing compounds and conditions to which soil bacteria are exposed, concerning not only presence of toxic compounds, but also nutrient and oxygen status. By evaluating such factors we better understand the bacterial life in the soil environment, which is very difficult or even impossible to obtain by other methods.
Biosensors are ideal for investigating the physiology and gene expression of microorganisms in complex environments like soil, including interactions between different members of the soil community, like tetracycline produced from S. rimosus, nutrients excreted from root tips of plants or bacterial communication.
We have presented several examples of soil studies based on the use of whole-cell biosensors and we believe many more are to come, because reporter genes and detection technologies are in constant development, with some aiming to improve the applicability of whole-cell biosensors in soil. Detection of the presence of multiple compounds in an environment, as sucrose and tryptophan or N, P and C status, can be simplified by use of genes encoding blue, red and yellow fluorescing proteins. As the use of techniques like epi-fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and confocal scanning laser microscopy is increasing, so is the resolution at which we can analyse microbial ecology in complex environments.

5 Weeks, 4 States & 3874 Miles around California & the Southwest Roadtrip WITH PHOTOS
WooHoo, after only being home for what...2 months now, I'm finally finished my TRs, here the FULL trip report all together. A little bit of background, we [Mum, Dad and myself, DD19], did a roadtrip around California, and part of the Southwest hitting some Nationals Parks, in total we took nearly 10,000 photos, travelled 3874 miles through 4 states over 5 weeks.
This was our itinerary [29th June – 3rd Aug];
Vegas 1 night > Grand Canyon 2 nights > Monument Valley 1 night > Page 2 nights > Bryce NP 1 night > Zion NP 2 nights > Vegas 2 nights > Death Valley NP 1 night > Yosemite NP 3 nights > San Francisco 4 nights > Monterey 1 night > Cambria 1 night > LA 5 nights > Anaheim 3 nights > San Diego 4 nights > Vegas 1 night
Re: the itinerary, a night in the ones of the lakes areas [Mono, June, Mammoth etc...] or Lee Vining, to break up the long drive between DVNP and YNP, and have a chance to see more of the Sierras Mountains.
Another night in San Francisco would have been great, there are soo many things to see and explore it would have just be great, to have a day, with no time limits, just time to roam.
2 nights in Monterey, would have made a big difference – we would have had just more time.
And 3 nights in either Santa Barbara, or Orange County [Huntington, Newport, Balboa], just to relax and chill out. After 5 weeks of constant travelling about half-way through, 2 full days of chilling would have been GREAT, to sleep in LATE, and relax by the pool/beach.
Right here goes the TR, I will spilt each location into its own post

Bellagio: We stayed at the Bellagio for one night before we started our roadtrip off, the hotel was very nice, we had a standard room with a mountain view and could see the Rio and Palms, though it was a loooong walk to get to the room.
Check in was easy and efficient. Bed was comfy, enjoyed the electronic blinds. Bathroom was lovely, loved the walk in shower, we even had scales in the bathroom too. Didn't get a chance to try the pool, though would have loved to. We had the Breakfast Buffet in the morning, very nice! The fountains were amazing, stood and watch 4 shows in a row. It would have been great to stay longer!
Tues 29th June: Home to Vegas
We were up early, had an 11:25am flight from Gatwick to Vegas. Flight was long, boring and uneventful. Didn't take off til 12ish, no on-demand TV, and only odd TV channels were working. Arrived in Vegas around 2pm, took around an hr to get through immigration and get car rental. Went to the Wal-Mart Superstore on Eastern, and got supplies and picked up our Sat Nav we pre-ordered online, before we left – that we didn't ended up using until LA.
Bryce Canyon
Checked into Bellagio, quick and easy. Got a Mountain View room [23625], with views of the Rio and Palms. Had a look around the Conservatory, and went and had dinner at Cabo Wabo, outside the hotel, in the Miracle Mile Shops. Afterwards we headed north up the strip and checking out the hotels, ending up at the Venetian, impressive shopping area, it does feel like your outside, but AC'ed!
Headed back to Bellagio, had been a long day, and had a long drive ahead of us to GCNP the next day, had just missed the fountains and didn't realised they run every 15mins, I thought it was every ½ hr, never mind we'd be back to Vegas soon.
Wed 30th June: Vegas to GCNP
Not adjusted yet to Pacific Time, we were wide awake by 4:30am; decided to get up as we had a long drive ahead of us to GCNP. We all showered and washed and were at the Bellagio Breakfast Buffet by 7am – no queue, and where able to go straight in, the restaurant was fairly busy. The food was good could have been better, it was only warm/hot, not piping hot as I had expected it to be. I ended up filling up on the usual breakfast foods, and was too full to try the unusual foods
Checked out of the Bellagio, and headed south on the strip, and got our photos taken at the Vegas sign, there was only two other small groups there taking photos. On to the Hoover Dam, we parked on the Arizona side, and spent around an hr there. I can't believe the change in water level, it's amazing, though not good!
We travelled on part of the old route 66 from Kingman to Seligman; the road was empty – hardly any other cars, and not much to be seen out of the windows. We stopped in Seligman, for gas, snacks, and souvenirs. Then I was shocked, it started to rain! Only slightly though, we stopped in Williams and had lunch our first of many McDonalds for the trip.
We finally arrived at the GCNP at 3:30pm, taking us 6hr30mins to complete the drive in all, rest stops, food and gas.

Maswik Cabin: It's good enough, we stayed for 2 nights. It's about the scenery not the lodging. Good location to the rim 1/4 mile, though there are lodges closer. It's as close to a camping experience as I'll probably ever get. Very dim light in the room, no AC only a fan, we left the door open a few times. Bathroom was small, toilet was squeezed inbetween the shower and wall, not a lot of room. Though would probably stay again if visiting the Grand Canyon, and if the other lodges were fully booked.
Wed 30th June: Vegas to GCNP
We arrived at GCNP at 3:30pm, brought our NP Annual Pass, and headed to the Visitor Centre. Mather Point was under construction, so we walked the rim to Yavapi Point, I cannot describe fully what it is like seeing the canyon for the first time, just amazing.
We checked into our cabin at the Maswik Lodge, totally different from our previous night at the Bellagio. We had dinner at the Pizza Pub, and ended up missing sunset, I was around 7:30pm or so I think, but we arrived at that time, rather than getting their an hr before – duh!
Thrus 1st July: Our full day at the GC, we were up in the morning for sunrise at 5:15am, we viewed it from Yavapi Point, it's cold that time in the morning, you need long shorts, and a cardigan/hoodie. Sunrise was cloudy, and I don't think we got the full experience. Afterwards we walked further west along the rim, and found some lovely quiet secluded spots. Breakfast, back at the Maswik Lodge.
We the decided to hike Bright Angel trail, once we passed through the natural bridge at the beginning of the trail, Dad decided to skip this trail – due to the large amount of switchbacks and steepest. Mum and I carried on, we're not hikers but enjoy walking, this was hard. It was only 8am in the morning but it was hot. We spend 2hrs on the trail roundtrip, and didn't even make it down to the mile & half house, the trail just came steeper and harder to get down. Mile markers would have been helpful to know how far down we were, I bet we were close.
Had lunch at the General Market, I love this place! Brought some souvenirs, got a GCNP collapsible cooler for the car. We then did the full route of Hermit's Rest, we had to wait for the 3rd bus at the first point, but a ranger comes and talks you through the system and tells you a lot of interesting information. We spent 3hrs on the shuttle stopping at every point, apart from the first. The shuttle has a very good buffer system, so you never have to wait long for the bus, once on route.
Watched sunset from the bus stop, dinner at the lodge, and finished the night playing cards in the cabin.
Fri 2nd July: GCNP to Monument Valley
We had decided yesterday, to watch the sunrise from Hopi Point – we got on the 4:45am Hermit's Rest shuttle bus, there wasn't anywhere near the same amount of people queuing that were yesterday afternoon, the bus arrived, in total there was about 10 people on it.
Everyone got off a Powell point apart from us and another man, we both got off at Hopi Point but the other man disappeared, appearing later after the sun had risen sunrise was 5:15am. We had Hopi Point all to ourselves until, a tour bus of about 15 people turned up, just in time for sunrise, they didn't stay long, only around 10-15mins. We then walked down to Powell Point to catch the bus, but managed to miss it at the viewpoint and ended up waiting ½ hr for the next shuttle to arrive.
Back to the room, we loaded up the car, and checked out of our cabin, and headed for breakfast at the Market Plaza [cheaper than Maswik Cafeteria], I wanted to purchase a National Park Passport, so we went to the Visitor Centre, got one and proceeded around the park and filled it with stamps.
By 9am, we were on the road heading out of the East Entrance to Monument Valley. We spent 3.5hrs driving the 25miles of Desert View, there was a lot of viewpoints we stopped at, we saw an elk, and also decided to start playing the license plate game [We did manage to get all 50, though we did cheat once, we never did find 'West Virginia' only on a restaurant wall at the end of the trip. We saw a wider range of plates travelling through the southwest NPs, compared to CA – which was CA, CA, CA plates constantly] Desert View was a good drive, I think that day, was the day I managed to burn my shoulders.
12:30pm, and we were finally on our way to Monument Valley
Overall, I really enjoyed GCNP, it's something you can't really believe, and grasp its size. 2 nights is definitely the perfect amount of time.

The View Hotel: There is a $5 entrance fee per person even if you're staying at the hotel. The room was great, but the hotel itself was a bit ergh, the gift shop was full of tat, most items were on sale. The restaurant was average, we had dinner and breakfast there, got $5 off per person for the breakfast buffet.
We had a room on the 2nd room, with great views of MV, we could watch all the cars on the dirt roads, we even had a little rainstorm. Comfy night's sleep, watched sunset and sunrise from the room, free wire-less, and parking too.
Fri 2nd July: 12:30pm, and we were finally on our way to Monument Valley, we stopped in Tuba City for gas and lunch at McDonalds [a recurring habit], the drive took 3 ½ hr including stops, we got stopped by a police checkpoint, just before entering the state of Utah. Time had jumped forward; we checked into The View hotel, at 5pm and had room 217 – great views. We checked out the hotel, gift shop and visitor centre, ended up playing cards in the room while watching sunset. There was a 30% chance of a thunderstorm, which I managed to miss while being in the shower.
Saturday 3rd July: MV to Page, AZ
We watched sunrise for the room
Today we had a guided tour of MV at 9am, first we had breakfast, buffet only and $5 for hotel guests – the breakfast was better than dinner. We booked in advance the 2.5hr our tour with Simpson's Trailhandler, we waited in The View Lobby at 8:45am, and no one was there, no other tourists, no one, as the minutes passed I wondered if we have been scammed. It was 9:05, and we got the hotel to ring Simpsons. It turns out the only other person wandering the lobby was our tour guide -- why didn't he come approach us?
Anywho, we were the only 3 people on the tour that morning, we had an unmarked open aired truck, it was abet awkward to start with, and the guide wasn't very chatty, at first I just thought we were going to drive around, without stopping. Our first stop was at one of the markets the locals set up, trying to make you buy stuff -- I wasn't impressed with this, we ended up stopping at 2 markets, we did end up buying some bracelets, my mum's is broken, she noticed when we got to Page. We were supposed to stop and see the Hogan's, but we never did.
The guide warmed up to us, through the tour, with stopped a various places, he told us about all the monuments, rock formations etc... It was a good tour, MV is definitely a sight, and I wouldn't recommend driving the track in your our car. A tour is the way to go, but I'm not sure if this one was worth the money.
We finished the tour at 11:45am and were on the road to Page, AZ
Overall I enjoyed our brief visit to MV, it's a sight to see.

We stayed in Page for 2 nights; it was an enjoyable stay, over the 4th July. It would have been nice just to chill out and relax here, on the lake.
Marriott Courtyard: This was our first stay at a Courtyard Marriott; the room was spacious, nice bathroom, free Wi-Fi and parking and free coffee in the morning. We enjoyed afternoons by the pool, not a lot of pool beds only around 15, and some were broken. Not a lot of great dining choices in Page though, but your usual Subways, Sonics, and Wal-Mart's.
Sat 3rd July: We were on the road to Page, AZ by 12:20 UT time it took us 2hrs to get to Page and were there by 1:20 AZ time. We stayed the Marriott Courtyard, there was quite a queue to check-in, but we got a room on the top room overlooking the golf course, room 417.
We had a little drive around the town, finding where the Antelope Canyon Tour left the next day, had lunch at Subway, watch some 4th July activities going on. Ended up relaxing by the pool for a couple of hours, back to the room, uploaded some photos and showered. We fancied Italian for dinner, and ate at Stromboli's outside on the deck, the place was busy, the portions were large, and the salads that came with the entrees were good, the bill was just under $50 for the 3 of us. Went to Wal-Mart got a few supplies, and ended the night playing cards in the room.
Sun 4th July: First lie in of the trip, until 7:15am, though I was really up from 5ish. Out of the room by 8am, Mum & Dad had a complimentary coffee from the lobby, and we drove to Horseshoe Bend. It took us about 45mins to do the 1.5mile round trip, the terrain was mainly sand, a hard sweaty walk even at 8am, we stopped for breakfast at Subway we were their first customers of the day, opened at 9am – the smell of fresh cookies was filling the room and we just couldn't resist and each had a cookie for afters.
We had a look around Glen Canyon, very interesting. Headed back to the room and freshen up before our 11:30am Upper Antelope Canyon Tour, we arrived at 11:15 the place was chaotic, we checked in and waited outside to start boarding. It's a bit mad, when the guides are trying to organize you into your trucks, no groups want to be separated etc.., and they do need to have a better system for this.
You do get herded through the canyon like cows the experience would be absolutely amazing if it was just a few people in the canyon. We booked probably the busiest time slot of the day 11:30, I think around 8 trucks from Ekis drove to the Canyon, let alone how many other tour companies were there.
Walking through the canyon is an amazing experience, your guide does shout at the group a lot to carry on, follow me. But if you listen to them, they will take great photos for you on your camera that you could never get yourself, as an amateur photographer. As said AMAZING, don't miss out, definitely visit the canyon.
We had lunch at Sonic [a chain we don't have at home], sat outside it was a very windy day, better and big burger than MD's, we then drove and stopped at some of the scenic outlooks, the wind had really picked up, and at one outlook we were being pelted with sand and stones. Dad wanted to get on a boat, so we headed to Lake Powell [our NP pass got us in for free], the tours were too $$$, so we watched some boats at the landing for awhile, before heading back to the hotel and relaxing by the pool for an hr or so.
Washed and showered and went to Fiesta Mexican for dinner, the place was packed, the portions were large, we couldn't eat it all, and on the way out we saw the finale of the 4th July fireworks. Before heading to Wal-Mart for more supplies.
Monday 5th July: Page to Bryce Canyon NP
We pretty much just had breakfast at Subway, with cookies for afters, and left Page to head for Bryce.

Ruby's: We were on the first floor around the back of the hotel, with a lakeside view hardly what I would call an lakeside view though. We were only in Bryce for one night; wish it could have been longer. Would happily stay at Ruby's again, had dinner at the buffet, which was nice, good meats. Free parking and free Wi-Fi.
Mon 5th July: Page to Bryce Canyon NP
We had Breakfast at Subway, with cookies for afters, and then got on the road heading for Bryce. No sooner than crossing the state line into Utah, we got pulled over by the cops, and Dad received a hefty fine for speeding, while speaking to the officer, my iPod broke. Turns out there was contact solution [not ours, left from the previous rental] where I was storing my iPod under the radio. My iPod was officially broke! Not a good start to the day.
But driving to Bryce was a gorgeous drive, through little small towns, lush green farms with huge houses in the middle of nowhere, Dixie National Forest and Red Canyon. We lost an hr coming in to Utah and checked into Ruby's around 12ish. We went and got lunch from Subway at the entrance of Bryce City [which is mainly own by Best Western], this Subway was expensive $9 for a foot long.
Around 2-3ish we finally make our way into Bryce NP, and did the 18mile scenic drive. We drove all the way, and then stopped on the way back; we stopped at most of the points. The ampitheatre is a lot more impressive compared to the drive, and the whole of Bryce Canyon is very red.
For dinner we had the buffet at Ruby's, it was $18 each not a lot of choice but the food was GOOD, I really enjoyed this meal.
Tues 6th July: We were planning on doing a horse ride through Bryce, but were too tired soo skipped it, got breakfast and headed to Zion.
Bryce was good, I would like to go back, looking back I wished we had done the horse ride, if would have been amazing.

- Total Time:

- Prep:

- Cook:
- 30 min
- Yield:
- 4 to 6 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- For the salad:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces sliced prosciutto
- 2 pounds baby tricolor or red bliss potatoes, quartered
- Kosher salt
- For the dressing:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/4 cup stone-ground mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Make the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with the olive oiland arrange the prosciutto in a single layer. Bake until the fat is rendered and the prosciutto is crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the prosciutto to a rack and let cool completely, then break into pieces and set aside.
Meanwhile, fill a large pot with cold water; add the potatoes and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are just fork-tender, about 15 minutes. (The potatoes will continue to cook when you remove them from the water, and you don't want a mushy potato salad!) Drain in a colander, then place the colander over the now-empty pot, off the heat, to allow the excess moisture to evaporate from the potatoes.
Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, scallions, sugar, paprika, mustard and vinegar. Taste and then season with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Add the potatoes to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Sprinkle the crispy prosciutto on top before serving.

Baltimore's longtime voice of libertarianism on WBAL has been stilled. He was a gentleman, a man of principle and courage, very funny in person and on the air, and—of course—extremely talented as a broadcaster. And as a writer. In his final column for the Baltimore Sun, he wrote:
"What is a mere individual to do? Live as sane and decent a life as you can, love your family and friends and understand that everybody is in this together. My work here is done."

Eight Quick Points on a Thursday
- Why is this news? If we found out Oil Can Boyd didn't use cocaine during his career, THAT would be news.
- Tim Wakefield said he is going to make a decision on his future soon. Earlier this week, GM Ben Cherington said an announcement concerning Wakefield and Jason Varitek would be coming in about a week. Ideally, Wakefield will announce his retirement before Cherington says that he won't be welcomed back. It's impossible not to sound heartless and unappreciative by advocating that a guy like Wake should walk away. So there's really no point in trying. And I'm done trying. There is no room for you, Wake (on the 25 man roster). It ain't happenin'.
- The Globe's Nick Cafardo reported via Twitter today that lefty reliever Rich Hill toss a solid bullpen session in Fort Myers. You'll remember that Hill underwent Tommy John surgery last summer. He showed promise early in 2011, despite the agonizingly slow start by the Red Sox. Lefty specialists who can come into a game, throw strikes, and get batters out are invaluable. I don't believe Hill will be ready to begin the year, but news like this gets me excited. I'd be willing to bet that new manager Bobby Valentine would rather have Hill as a weapon in his arsenal than worrying about a fifth starter. Seriously.
- I'll stay on the Cafardo train and drop this little nugget of gold.
- I've read that arbitration experts are saying that David Ortiz may actually have a legitimate shot at beating the Red Sox in a hearing. WEEI's Alex Speier breaks down the complicated process here. Either way, I don't see a designated hitter making $16.5MM dollars on a one-year deal. No way. It sounds like the hearing will take place Monday if an agreement cannot be reached before then. It's safe to say that by this time next week, we will all know a lot more about what Ortiz will earn in 2012.
- If you go to Truck Day, you're a loser.
- I'm not going to spend a great deal of time on this because, at the end of the day, don't really care. Nevertheless, Josh Beckett was recently on MLB Network's Intentional Talk. It is a show that is hosted by Chris Rose and Kevin Millar. I actually kind of like it. Beckett broke his silence on the the madness that surrounded the collapse in Semptember during an appearance on the show. As you can imagine, it was a pretty safe forum for the Texan. He took none of the blame. He was not contrite. And that's fine with me. I don't care. Hell, I like Beckett. So, come to camp in shape, pitch well, and throw at least 200 innings. Nothing else matters to me. The next time I want to hear about chicken and beer, I better be describing my Saturday night.
- There is roughly 9 days until pitchers between when you finish reading this not-so-entertaining blog and when pitchers and catchers officially report to Spring Training. Good things.

LaMina finished all coursework for the master's now just the final project.
- Yeap, I bought a book
- and asked my husband to speak to me in French at home.
- I sent an email to a friend last week in Quebec. Poor girl, I'm sure she was scared when she saw how I masequered that beautiful language.
- I called a friend from Quebec and ended up just getting to leave a message.
I would say I was pretty productive this week!
