Wedding: 6/15/2013
I had my heart set on this barn. We searched high and low for another venue that was closer to my home, but after 3 months we finally put our deposit down! I am SO thrilled we did! The owners are fantastic to work with and the wedding was more than I could ever hope for!
Wedding: 5/18/2013
Red Barn Studios was the best location for my wedding. Jason was so easy to work with and helped so much! All my guests raved about the location and how much fun they had. My wedding day was perfect thanks to Jason and Red Barn Studios!
Wedding: 4/19/2013
I loved red barn so much! It was perfect because the interior was gorgeous I did not have to spend a whole lot on decorations and all the guests loved the barn as well. It made my day perfect!
Wedding: 8/30/2014
I can't say enough good things about this place. Jason and Laurie, the owners, are both nice, wonderful people and so helpful. Jason was knowledgeable without being pushy, and helped everything run smoothly even though I had planned for outdoor ceremony and had to move inside, and had a few hiccups with the rental company. They let us visit as many times as we wanted to plan, let us leave a few items the night of the rehearsal so we didn't have to bring everything on Saturday. And the venue is gorgeous inside and out! Such a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to everyone looking for a wedding venue. ,
Wedding: 7/18/2014
All of the guests at the wedding kept telling us how beautiful the barn was. It was really the highlight of the wedding and what pulled everything together!
Wedding: 10/27/2012
We had a wonderful experience working with Jason and Laurie, the owners of our venue. Everything went smoothly. It was easy to set up times to meet with them, and if we just wanted to run up to look over things.
Wedding: 7/7/2012
I had my wedding here a few weeks ago and I was so disappointed in the way that the owners treated my family and I. I honestly feel as if I was being sabotaged by them. I was disrespected and threatened by the owners on my wedding day (who attended my wedding and also invited another person that was their friend, TO MY WEDDING?!) They were in everyone's face, following everyone around. They made up the rules as they went... suddenly, alcohol was no longer allowed outside?
I do not recommend any bride putting herself into a stressful situation and leaving her wedding day had been disrespected and sabotaged. Especially when this can be avoided by hosting your wedding elsewhere!
Wedding: 6/16/2012
We had our ceremony & reception at The Red Barn Studios and it was a dream come true. The venue is breathtaking. The owners, Jason & Laurie, and so helpful throughout the entire process, especially on the wedding day. I have NO complaints and would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a unique and interesting touch to their wedding!!
Wedding: 6/3/2012
My husband and I were so glad we found and used Red Barn Studios for our wedding! The owners Jason and Laurie were kind, helpful, and truly great folks. The barn is beautiful and our guests cannot stop talking about how wonderful the property is, and what a great time they had there! We hired Laurie to do our photography and our pictures could not have turned out better - in fact, nothing about our wedding day could have gone more smoothly or perfectly, and I fully attribute that to Jason and Laurie for handling all the little details with effortless grace. I can't recommend this truly lovely place more for your perfect wedding day!
Wedding: 5/13/2012
The Red Barn Studios is a very beautiful and unique location. It was worth the money we spent,but we did encounter a few problems with organization on the part of the barn.
Wedding: 8/22/2010
The venue is beautiful, both the barn itself and the grounds are very well kept. Ideal for someone who is looking for something other than a traditional hall. The owners were exceptionally helpful the day of the wedding.
Wedding: 7/10/2010
Jason and Laurie Dix run are a class-act and run a fantastic operation! We discovered Red Barn Studios almost by accident, and it was the best decision we made for the wedding. The big red barn set the tone for our ceremony - our guests loved the informal feel!
It was really easy to find the location, and we never had trouble contacting Jason and Laurie. They were always available to answer questions when we had them, and they had a lot of great advice from their years of experience with weddings on their property. Everything went smoothly on the day.
Wedding: 11/8/2008
Red Barn Studios in Chehalis simply stated is a venue of rustic elegance. The 1930's gothic style barn was the perfect size had beautiful arched ceilings and modern facilities mixed with old style charm. My husband and I love to cook and wanted to cater the reception ourselves which they allowed. The rental also includes having the facility for a 3 day period - set up Friday Party Saturday and clean up Sunday. The best and most pleasantly surprising bouns to renting the venue were the owners. They were extremely flexible helpful friendly and welcoming. They are also excellent photographers and captured our day perfectly - especially since they know all of the sweet spots on their farm to take beautiful shots both inside and outside the barn.;I don't have any stern warnings. My experience with this venue was better than I could have ever hoped.

The average price per square foot of self-storage space in Augusta is $0.6 per month. On average, 10x10 storage units in Augusta cost $65 per month.
Augusta is home to The University of Maine at Augusta. College students often need storage during summer and winter breaks and can drive prices up during these seasons.
Those who rented self-storage in Augusta were more likely to book a 5x10 storage unit than any other size.

I managed to accomplish everything I wanted to today. I was miserable sometimes but I got through it. Hubby is doing fairly well too. Hopefully his boss won't work him too hard.
I'm hoping to get a good night's sleep because I'm really sore. I want to wake up refreshed, upbeat, fun, and funny for my son. It's my natural mood but it is sometimes hard when you are in pain. I will eat off plan tomorrow because it's his day and I won't fret about it.
I was at the upper limits of my calories today. Every time I try to get in some of the healthy foods I am missing out on I seem to hover near the top. I don't like it. I got in more fiber and my dairy though. LOL.
Well, I have a load of laundry to hang and a sick chinchilla to syringe feed so I better get busy.
Hubby and I are both doing better today. We both have less pain and are moving around easier.
I have vowed to be HEALED by Tuesday. It's my son's birthday and I won't ruin it for him. He is eagerly making plans and I will carry them through no matter what. Bite the bullet. Grin and bear it.
Tomorrow we have to clean 6 pet cages, clean the bathroom, and vacuum so I hope I'm up for it. LOL. I think I can, I think can, I think I can, I can. The power of positive thinking. LOL.
Myth - 2 men and a woman can lift a truck bed off a pickup truck without injury.
My husband was told that 4 men could do this feat and for some idiotic reason HE decided that the 3 of us would be sufficient. SIGH!!! Fuzzy math. I know we are overweight but not big enough to make up for another person!!!!
Yes, we actually lifted the bed off and back and we would have only had to move the bed off and back once but HE didn't get everything done HE wanted to the first time so we ended up moving it back and forth 4 times total.
And, yes, 2 of us were injured.
My son is okay and is charge of our "elderly nursing care center" now. LOL. Hubby is in a back brace. I'm walking with a cane.
I told hubby that if HE ever suggested something like this again I'll be beating him to death with the cane. My son is backing me up in case my back injury and sciatica keep me from battering my hubby sufficiently.
Of course, I'm still getting in my 2 hours of exercise every day. My 12,500 steps. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm insane. Look at that poor woman crawling on the ground like a lizard. LOL.
Please, no lectures. I'm a nurse. You can't possibly tell me anything I don't already know. Most of you would not understand, except for my MD and Maria.
I'm the world's worst patient. I can't lay in bed. There is plenty of time to lay down when I'm dead. LOL.
I haven't checked in for a while so I thought I would.
I'm not doing too bad on my diet and with my exercises considering the challenges I have been facing.
To make a long story short, I have sciatica.
Enough said. LOL.
Today I got to stay home all day and had a lot of time to be online. I had hoped to get a lot done as I am really behind on emails. I had 120+ in my yahoo account and 250 in my home account. I haven't even checked my google account.
I have spent most of the day working on them and not put much of a dent in them. Yahoo is as slow as molasses. sigh.
This seems to be a recurrent problem with me . I work and work and work and get nowhere. LOL.

1990 Ford Taurus Question: Engine pauses
Answer #1dandd January 29, 2009, 14:21Master
It sounds like an engine misfire is occuring. Does the car go in to the lower gear and eventually accelerate? It sounds like your vehicle is misfiring. When you put a greater load on in a higher gear, it takes all the that ignition coils can deliver ( the SHO motor has DIS or coil pack ignition )I worked on the SHO manual transmission equipped Taurus when they were new at the dealer. They should have a lot of power. When was the last time you replaced your wires, plugs etc?
ReplyPrecious, January 29, 2009, 17:57Rookie
response to answer #1: It doesn't shift to a lower gear, (it's a manual shift), it just has a slight hesitation (pull back sensation) followed by a dull pop noise, then it accelerates.

NYPD: Cousin admitted fatally stabbing mom, 4 kids
By VERENA DOBNIK / Associated Press
NEW YORK -- A Chinese immigrant has been arrested on five counts of murder in the deaths of his cousin's wife and her four children in a late-night stabbing rampage in their Brooklyn home.
The New York Police Department said Sunday that 25-year-old Ming Don Chen has implicated himself in the deaths.
Two girls, 9-year-old Linda Zhuo and 7-year-old Amy Zhuo, were pronounced dead at the scene, along with the youngest child, 1-year-old William Zhuo. Their brother, 5-year-old Kevin Zhuo, and 37-year-old mother, Qiao Zhen Li, were taken to hospitals, where they also were pronounced dead.
Chief of Department Phil Banks says the victims "were cut and butchered with a kitchen knife."
Banks says Chen is a cousin of the children's father and had been staying at the home for the past week or so.

Request a live demoof the Acquia platform
Acquia has signed up as a platinum sponsor for Drupal Szeged 2008 coming up August 27-30. We're sending a large contingent of Acquians as attendees, presenters, and general community participants. We'll be recruiting and enabling partners, looking for new employees, and sharing the latest Acquia news. We really look forward to seeing everyone there.
Last night the San Francisco user group celebrated Bastille Day at the Paris SoMa (South of Market) co-working office, and San Francisco office of AF83.com.
Today is an exciting day, as we launched the Acquia Podcast series this afternoon. You can listen to podcasts in a flash player on our site, subscribe via RSS feed, or find in iTunes.
Our first episode is an interview Robert Douglass and I did with David Mercer, author of the new book Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6.
Acquia's global conference tour continues on next week. Yesterday, Jeff participated yesterday in what was described by Kathleen Reidy at The 451 Group as a star-studded open source panel at Enterprise 2.0.
I'm finishing up my fourth day at Acquia, and in thinking about how to introduce myself, one phrase immediately jumped to mind: "Who am I? Why am I here?"
This is my first week at Acquia, and I have to admit that I'm surprised to be here. Despite my commitments of time and code to Drupal over the last couple years, I was also working full time as a scientist at a start-up that is a spin-off from the lab where I did my post-doc.
##Acquia and growing Drupal
Part of my responsibilities at Acquia are to help grow the number of Drupal users. The Drupal community is growing quickly and the credit for that growth belongs to thousands of contributors and hundreds of Drupal evangelists. I've been personally working on growing Drupal for years, but recently I've begun working closely with my fellow Drupal association members Jacob Redding and Moshe Weitzman to explore how we can work with local groups to grow Drupal. In the rest of this blog post I cover information that I've gathered working with various members of the Drupal community and have shared with the Druapl infrastructure team, groups.drupal.org managers, and the Drupal marketing group. On Monday, June 9th, 5PM PDT Jacob and I will be hosting a web seminar to share our research and solicit feedback from local group organizers.
##Groups.drupal.org is growing
Currently, http://groups.drupal.org , GDO, acts as a rallying point for community events and helps reduce friction in Drupal event organizing. There are 8300 GDO users who are members of local groups, and events appear to be on track to grow from almost 400 in 2007 to 800 in 2008. GDO user growth is accelerating at a rate of 34 additional users per month, with almost 1,200 new users in March 2008 alone. This site now has over 1 million page views per month.
GDO has slow growth in the number of unique visitors climbing from 64,000 unique visitors to 84,000 unique visitors per month over 9 months ending March 2008. We believe that some improvements in user workflow and interaction design could dramatically increase the rate of participation on GDO.
Currently, 73% of visitors stay less than 30 seconds, with an average visit of 466 seconds. An upgrade of Drupal properties to Drupal 6 would enable the use of OpenID to further increase the total amount of users who could become members of local Drupal groups and ultimately attend local events. The authenticated user re-use rate for GDO is approximately 20% based on analysis over the last 24 months. This assures the Drupal community that GDO is a growing web property and worth putting further effort into.
This is the seventh blog post in a series about user experience improvements in Drupal 6. In my research, several core developers suggested that improvements to Drupal's administration were significant enough to warrant its own category. Improvements to administration come from the application of UX heuristics and
from focused efforts on a particular administration work flow like installation.
According to Wikipedia, "Interaction design defines the behavior (the "interaction") of an artifact or system in response to its users." In previous versions, Drupal has mostly used static interfaces that update when the user submits a form, or navigates to a new page. Beginning with Drupal 5, Jquery was added to the core and Drupal core developers began using this javascript library to improve the user experience of Drupal through improved user interactions.
This is the fifth blog post in a series about user experience improvements in Drupal 6. Drupal is very popular with developers who want to leverage the contributed modules to meet their feature requirements. Previous versions of the theme system have favored powerful theming through programming rather than simplicity for designers. Three significant changes to the theme system have reduced the need for designers to learn how to program to use some of the theme engines most powerful features.

305-598-2227 The surest testament to a good neighborhood bar is whether locals actually frequent the place. For 17 years Sports Grill has been hosting families for lunch and dinner and bar patrons well into the night. The atmosphere is comfortable, featuring video games, picnic tables with wood benches, and plenty of cheap sports gimcrackery on the walls. The food is awesome, especially the bar-food triumvirate: burgers, wings, fries. The fries are homemade and tasty, and the burgers are high-quality, but the wings -- Sports Grill is known for excellent wings without breading or excess grease. They are simple and delicious: chicken grilled (not fried) and served completely unadorned, with sauce on the side. Wing prices are also good: 16 pieces for $10; 25 pieces for $12.50. There is only one drawback: Sports Grill is so popular with families that the place is swarming with kids during the dinner hour. Then again, knee-huggers are an essential element of a neighborhood.

Charlotte officials are citing Charlotte Douglas airports potentially damaging handling of bond revenues and severe security deficiencies as reasons an independent authority should not be given control of the airport.
In a letter to Mecklenburgs legislative delegation sent Monday, Mayor Anthony Foxx and City Council members said that other city departments stepped in to fix those problems.
Our efforts to keep CLT on track are now being used as a reason for a governance change, they said.
City officials asked that any change in the airport run by the city since 1935 be delayed until a study can review the implications of moving the airport to an authority.
Rep. Bill Brawley and Sen. Bob Rucho, both Matthews Republicans, are leading an effort to create an independent Charlotte Regional Airport Authority that would oversee the airport. Two weeks ago, Rucho introduced a bill that would create an 11-member board with a majority of members appointed by surrounding counties and state politicians, including Gov. Pat McCrory.
The measure to transfer control to an authority appears to be on the fast track. The Senate Rules Committee is scheduled to consider it Wednesday morning.
Foxx is expected to make the citys case personally when he meets with the delegation three hours before the committee is set to consider the bill.
If the airport were to move to an independent authority, its finances would be removed from city oversight and approval. The board would oversee the airports finances, including the issuance of bonds.
City officials are pushing back, saying other city departments have had to help the airport something that wouldnt be possible if an authority controlled the airport.
In 2010, the Internal Revenue Service told the city it was planning to audit some of the airports tax-exempt bonds used to finance airport improvements. In response, the citys finance department and its bond counsel, Parker Poe, found the airport had co-mingled money from $150 million of taxable and tax-exempt bonds issued in 2004.
The city was concerned it could lose the tax-exempt status of its bonds.
Parker Poe told the IRS that the airports accounting problems was a federal tax violation but it stressed it was a one-time problem and the airport didnt gain any financial advantage.
In April 2011, the city issued strict financial guidelines on the airport, removing some of the autonomy that longtime aviation director Jerry Orr had enjoyed.
Orr told the Observer last week that he didnt think the accounting problems were a big issue.
Essentially, what we did was in the accounting process we co-mingled some money that was taxable bond money and non-taxable bond money, Orr said.
Rucho contended on Tuesday that the city didnt catch the errors stemming from the 2004 bonds. He said it was the airport that caught errors made by the city.
Thats another good reason the authority needs to be under its own control, he said.
City Finance Director Greg Gaskins said the finance department and the airport worked together to solve the problem. When asked about Ruchos comment that the city was to blame, Gaskins said he couldnt comment. But he said he believes its well-established that Orr has publicly stated that the problems stemmed from airport accounting.
Sources told the Observer last week that former City Manager Curt Walton considered disciplining Orr in the matter. Walton retired in December.
Security questions
The city letter also cited security problems at the airport.
In November 2010, law enforcement believed a Mecklenburg teenager breached airport security and stowed away inside the wheel well of a Boston-bound jet.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department led an investigation of airport security in 2011 and said the airport needed more security officers and better perimeter fencing.
In late 2012, Walton shifted control of security at Charlotte Douglas from the airport to CMPD.
A two-year review of security at CLT revealed deficiencies severe enough to warrant turning over policing at the airport to (Chief Rodney Monroe) and the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, the letter said.
The letter also said they see no compelling reason to even consider transferring CLT to an authority.
Foxx and council members said they are willing to launch a study that would include the newly formed American Airlines and the General Assembly. The letter said the study should examine why some airports are run by authorities, while others, such as Atlanta and Chicago, are city departments like Charlotte.
Brawley, the House sponsor of the authority bill, said theres a broad base of support for it throughout the region and in Mecklenburg County.
The question is, what else do we need to know to make sure this is a good decision? he said. We have enough information to know this is the appropriate step at this time.
Rucho dismissed the citys request to study it.
Theres no reason to study it, he said. Its really straight-forward. Its not that complicated.
Democrats are more supportive of a study.
Im always for putting everybody at the table and trying to work through things before moving ahead, said State Rep. Becky Carney of Charlotte, who said she would want a short study.
Sen. Dan Clodfelter, a Charlotte Democrat, said the citys letter was a pretty responsible suggestion.
Thats the way matters like this have been handled in the past, the delegation waits for local (leaders) to talk it through among themselves before they bring it to Raleigh, he said.
Last years switch in control of the Asheville airport from the city and county to an authority hasnt gone smoothly. City officials are fighting over an appointment, the state could find itself liable for millions in a disputed land transfer and the Federal Aviation Administration said the transfer might violate earlier agreements.

Scotland: highlights of a recent visit
- Submitted by: Michael Bates
- Website: None Available
- Submission Date: 04th Feb 2005
My wife and I visited Scotland and Northern Ireland in early June 1994. We rented a car in each place and more or less let the itinerary evolve with the weather and our mood. Our main interests were seeing the countryside and learning about national and church history. Rather than give you a blow-by-blow travelogue, I thought it might be more beneficial just to list a few favorite places and information useful to anyone thinking of visiting. This article will cover Scotland; I'll cover Ireland separately.
We spent a day in the area of Kingussie, on the A9 between Pitlochry and Aviemore. We spent the morning at Leault Farm, a working sheep farm near Kincraig. Twice a day they do sheepdog (border collie) demonstrations. They have six dogs, who herd some sheep into a pen, guide the sheep around the pasture, and even herd geese to and from the pond. When we were there they had a new litter of puppies. Neil Ross, the shepherd, took care to explain what he was doing at each step -- the different whistles and calls used to direct each dog, how the dogs are trained, etc. An English family with us compared the experience favorably to more high-profile, tourist-oriented sheep farms that they had visited. There is nothing touristy about this place. They only began offering demonstrations to the public last September. Neil also does less elaborate demonstrations at the nearby Highland Folk Museum. Demonstrations are usually twice-daily, at 12 and 4. Admission is #3 for adults. You must book ahead as this is a small operation. Here's the address and phone:
Leault Farm
(0540) 651310
We had lunch in Kingussie, then parked the car in the town car park and walked to Loch Gynack, following a route from a ScotRail brochure, which describes several easy short walks beginning near rail stations. The woman at the TIC [Tourist Information Centre] suggested a continuation of the walk around Creag Bheag, rather than backtracking to town. She even loaned us her "rather tatty" copy of the local Ordnance Survey map, rather than making us buy one for a day's use. The walk took us past a rushing stream, across a golf course, past a ruined cottage, over a couple of stiles, through heather and some really muddy patches. My navigation skills proved themselves as rusty as I had feared, but we made it back to the main road, after a 5.5 mile, 3 hour walk. Except for a few golfers at the beginning and the occasional sheep we rambled alone through some gorgeous countryside.
Other favorite places:
David Livingstone Memorial, Blantyre, east-southeast of Glasgow: Even though we were in a jet-lag haze when we visited, we still found this interesting. The memorial is centered around the mill tenement block where Livingstone was born. The exhibits give you a sense of working-class life in the early 19th century, as well as an extensive account of Livingstone's explorations of the African interior. Throughout the exhibit you see the motivations that took him to Africa and back again after a hero's welcome in Britain. The center is open Mon-Sat 10-6, Sunday 1-6.
Tenement House, Glasgow: This place doesn't require a long visit -- an hour and a half at most -- but it's a great way to get the sense of stepping back in time. You walk up a flight of stairs, ring the bell, and walk into the 1930s. The guides in each of the three rooms were happy to answer questions about different household items, what things cost, how chores were done, etc. The experience is enhanced by the fact that nearly everything in the apartment, down to sheet music and rent receipts, belonged to one woman, Miss Agnes Toward, who lived in the flat for over 50 years. Open 2-5pm during the summer, an easy walk from Cowcaddens Underground station.
St Giles High Kirk, Edinburgh: We asked a guide about group tours and ended up getting an hour-and-a-half personal tour, for free. The guide took us to each stained-glass window and monument and chapel. He did a great job of providing historical context. We wanted a tour and got an "Intro to Scottish History" course.
Edinburgh Castle: I won't belabor this, but it's a must-see. Good tours, great views of the city, plenty of history. Worth the #5 each.
Inveraray: A pretty little town on Loch Fyne in Argyll. We spent a day there -- the morning at Inveraray Jail (the old courthouse, now a museum on crime and punishment from the 17th to the early 20th centuries) and the afternoon at the Castle, the home of the Duke of Argyll, and the seat of Clan Campbell. At the castle, there are a couple of rooms set aside for the Clan Campbell society, with photos of recent worldwide gatherings. The display in the armory hall is truly impressive. We were sorry we didn't have time for the Combined Operations Museum, on the castle grounds, which has to do with the amphibious landing rehearsals done in the area in preparation for D-Day. The castle closes between 1 and 2, but you can get back in on the same ticket, and the tea room has good, reasonably priced food and is open through the break and all day, as is the gift shop. The drive between Glasgow and Inveraray is quite nice, providing you don't get stuck behind a heavy-goods vehicle.
St Andrews: I'm into history, especially religious history, and that's what I enjoyed about St Andrews. I read part of John Knox's "History of the Reformation in Scotland" (purchased at his house on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh) at breakfast, then walked out to see the places where it all happened. Wish we had had time to go through the counter-mine at the Castle (it's a tunnel built during the siege of the castle by French troops in 1557). Golf appears to be a big deal there too, for some reason. :-)
The north coast of Fife: We spent a pleasant afternoon driving backroads from Newburgh to Balmerino. It helped that it was a sunny day and the rapeseed fields were a brilliant yellow and fragrant. The road gives excellent views down to the Tay and across to Dundee. We stopped at the ruined abbey in Balmerino and had the place to ourselves. Our only regret was that we didn't have time to complete the tour and visit the fishing villages in the East Neuk of Fife. (The tour route was in the book _Britain on Backroads_, Hunter Publishing, Edison NJ, 1985 -- originally published in the UK by Bartholomew Press, Edinburgh. Four of the book's 38 tours are in Scotland.)
Accommodations:We used the book-a-bed-ahead service for the entire week, booking at a TIC in the morning for accommodation in the next town that night. We were happy with each place we stayed, but I imagine we could have done better on price had we booked ourselves a few days in advance. For the most part we got en-suite double rooms. The average price was around #40 per night for two. We never had a problem using American Express Travelers Cheques (in Pounds Sterling) to pay for lodging, although we didn't try to use them in Inveraray. Here's where we stayed:
Inveraray: Mrs MacPherson, 10 Argyll Court, Inveraray, Argyll PA32 8UT, (0499)2273. #28 for two twin beds, not en-suite (although the bathroom was right next door), color TV in room. In a post-war row house, looks to have been recently renovated and redecorated. A short walk to the older part of town.
Edinburgh: Ashdene House, 23 Fountainhall Road, Edinburgh, EH9 2LN, (031) 667 6026. #43 for a double en-suite. Our room had two extra twin beds, color TV and a phone. On-street parking. The house is a nicely renovated Victorian house on a quiet residential street a short distance south of the center. Three blocks from Minto Street, which is the continuation of S. Bridge Street (A7); several buses run to the city centre.
Pitlochry: Arisaig House, (Fiona and Angus MacLellan), Strathview Terrace, Pitlochry PH16 5QR, (0796) 473899. #40 for a double en-suite, Color TV. Apparently one of the en-suite doubles (not ours) had a jacuzzi tub. The house was built last fall, very modern and comfortable. The MacLellans were the youngest B&B owners we encountered (early 30s at the oldest). Fiona was very helpful with suggestions for places to shop and eat. We stayed two nights here. I could see using Pitlochry as a base for exploring; a lot of central and eastern Scotland is within easy driving distance. The town has plenty of shops and caters to tourists.
St Andrews: Brownlee House, Murray Place. #40 pounds double en-suite, color TV. The room was barely big enough for the bed, but this place was right in the middle of town, two blocks from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and a short distance to all the historical sites. On-street parking is available nearby.
About the Book-A-Bed-Ahead (BABA) service: Here's how it works. Go to the local TIC in the morning (any town of decent size has one). They'll fill out a form with your requirements for that night's lodging -- which city; town or country; price range; smoking or non-smoking; private or shared bathroom. They usually ask for about 30-40 minutes to set something up -- they call people at the TIC at your destination, who then call around to find a place that meets your specification. When you come back, they give you a reservation form (which you present to your host on arrival) and you pay a #2.75 booking fee and 10% deposit on the room. The deposit is credited toward your night's stay.
It is usually only available for booking rooms for that same day. This is conjecture, but I think that in the morning B&B proprietors call the local TIC and tell them what vacancies they have for that night. The TIC then has a list of available accommodation which is uses to fulfill BABA requests from other TICs. The rooms we got with BABA were nice, but probably more expensive than if we'd booked a day or two in advance -- i.e., all the cheaper rooms were gone already. It was worth it for the flexibility, however.
If you want to book directly, you can pick up, at any TIC, regional magazines with B&B listings (free) or purchase a directory covering all Scotland. There is a TIC booth at Glasgow Airport (bear right as you leave customs). If you do plan to book directly, be sure to get a Phonecard (available from most newsagents) to save hassles with coins at payphones.
Transportation: we rented a Rover Metro (compact, automatic transmission) from Kenning, rented through Town and Country Car Rental, $225.60 including VAT for a week. The agency is off-airport, about 1/2 mile away from the terminal. The short distance became important: We returned the car after hours (4:00 pm Saturday is after-hours?) and had to hoof it back to the terminal (we were foresighted enough to check our bags beforehand). The agent failed to mention that the office would be closed, even though we confirmed our return time when we picked up the car. There wasn't even a phone nearby so that we could call a taxi. Since we spent most of our time in smaller towns and in the country, parking was rarely a problem.
For maps we brought with us the Michelin map for Scotland and Rand McNally's road atlas of Britain (which I believe is the Automobile Association atlas packaged for sale in the U.S.). We bought a Bartholomew's Edinburgh Streetfinder before we went there, which kept us from getting totally lost. The Michelin map does a good job of representing the quality, width, and aligment of a given road, which will give you some idea of the speed possible. Speed limits on motorways and "dual carriageways" (divided four-lane highways) are 70 MPH; other roads are 60 MPH. Drivers tend to break the limit if traffic conditions allow. I can't remember specific driving times, but with few exceptions we didn't encounter traffic backups. The road from Edinburgh to Inverness (the A9) is a well-built 2-lane which bypasses many of the smaller towns and has occasional passing lanes. You can expect to average close to 60 MPH on a road like that. On the other hand, the roads from Glasgow to Inveraray is winding and hilly -- we got stuck behind a truck for lot of the distance. The Rand McNally Atlas has good maps of metropolitan Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as more detail than the Michelin map. We were glad to have both along.
You'll get as much breakfast in the morning as you like. There's the standard "fry" -- bacon, eggs, sausage, and tomato, served with juice, tea or coffee, and toast. Most places will also serve cereal or porridge in addition to the fry or instead of. A few places also had fruit, usually prunes or grapefruit. It's all included in the cost of the room. For lunch we usually grabbed a sandwich somewhere at a shop for not too much. Cheap Chinese places abound, but often they're only takeaway and may or may not have utensils to give you. In the big cities we occasionally indulged in McDonald's or Burger King; a Whopper, medium fries and medium drink go for #3.00, or about $4.50. There's a McDonald's in Perth that has a drive-thru! In the evening, we'd frequently get fish-and-chips, which you can find anywhere. We really didn't eat anywhere fancy, with one exception. We had dinner at the Pine Trees Hotel in Pitlochry. It was called a "bar meal" but it was a sit-down dinner and service was leisurely. That was our splurge -- about #22, including dessert. Very good food and they treated us nicely even though we were wearing blue jeans (although they did put us far away from the other diners and behind a potted plant).
We used _Scotland: The Rough Guide_ to help plan our trip, and borrowed a friend's copy of _Fodor's_. We also took along _Let's Go: Britain and Ireland_, but found it didn't add much to the content in _The Rough Guide_, which was far superior in detail.
Pitlochry had plenty of places to buy woolen goods, and the prices seemed reasonable.
We came across a couple of good Christian bookstores: Wesley Owen in Glasgow and the Manna House in Perth (which also has a popular tea room and bakery). Both bookstores stocked evangelical periodicals, which were useful in learning about area churches, upcoming events, and the general religious scene.
If you're into china, we found a place in Edinburgh that handles second-hand stuff (for people who are "trading up" or who want to sell inherited china). We missed being there when it was open, but it looked really neat. It was near the University at the corner of Potterrow and Marshall Street, caddycorner from a large carpark.
I'd be happy to provide more detail to anyone interested. We loved Scotland and hope to return in the future.

Law360, New York (November 04, 2009) -- On Oct. 14, 2009, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proposed amendments to the proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are intended to provide additional flexibility for issuers and other soliciting persons on the content and format of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "notice").
In an effort to improve the clarity of the notice and to better educate shareholders about the notice and access model, the SEC has proposed a new rule allowing issuers and other soliciting persons to accompany the notice with an explanation of the process of reviewing and receiving proxy materials and voting.
In addition, SEC Release No. 34-60825 (the "release") provides guidance about the current requirement for the notice to identify matters to be voted upon at the shareholders' meeting. Furthermore, the SEC has proposed revisions to the notice delivery deadlines for soliciting persons other than issuers.

The company's shares are down more than 5 percent on the London Stock Exchange. For the full year, the company expects total revenues to be around $600 million, up from $319 million reported in the year 2010. The company attributed the increase in revenues to higher production due to production start up at Ebok field and commissioning of two infill wells at the Okoro field, combined with increase in realized commodity prices. Afren said its net production at the company's assets during the year was about 19,200 boepd.In the fourth quarter, production increased to an exit rate of 53,200 boepd, directly attributable to the company. This increase in production follows the commissioning and ramp up of all production wells associated with the initial phases of the Ebok field development, the company said. Looking ahead to full-year 2012, Afren expects average production of 42,000 to 46,000 boepd. During 2011, the company realized an average oil price of $109 per bbl, representing a $2.3 average discount to Brent, and an average gas price of $8.4 per mcf. Capital expenditure in 2011 was about $550 million, and the company expects 2012 budget to be in the range of $450 million to $500 million. Osman Shahenshah, chief executive of the company said, "We have started our 2012 exploration campaign with a significant discovery offshore Nigeria, through the Okoro East Exploration well. The multi well drilling campaign in Ghana, Nigeria, the Joint Development Zone of Nigeria São Tomé and Príncipe, Tanzania, Kenya and the Kurdistan region of Iraq, has the potential to materially transform and increase our discovered resource base." The company is scheduled to announce its full-year results on March 27. AFR.L is currently trading at 117.86 pence, down 6.74 pence or 5.41 percent, on a volume of 3.27 million shares on the LSE.

Gossip Girl Sneak Peeks: It's Payback Time!by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Georgina's quest for revenge isn't over just because the wedding is.
In a clip from Monday's episode, Gossip Girl herself (or a Gossip Girl impostor/associate, depending on your theory) is looking for payback, confronting someone else who one-upped her in the past:
Dorota! Check out the brief sneak peek from "The Backup Dan" ...
While no one knows about G.G. but viewers, the same goes for the Princess Bride's whereabouts. Dan absconded with Blair after her wedding distress call, but no one else seems to realize that yet.
The producers discuss this topic in their weekly preview of the episode. Mostly, they just talk a lot, and don't tell us anything new, but there are some clips we haven't seen yet. See what you think:
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Gossip Girl, Clips, Spoilers
OMG that would be so awesome if Dorota was GG! Talk about plot twists! Of course I can't see Dorota ever hurting Blair; she's loyal as ever.
In all likelihood, Blair is still married to Louis in tonights episode which leads to the obvious plot that Blair needs someone to break up the marital vows. Hence, Dan to the obvious rescue again (as he has no brain these days). They plot an obvious affair to get Louis to arrange a divorce. And Dan doesn't mind, but Serena is not suppose to know. Naturally, you'd think I would be upset, but given the dribble that ALL fans have had to deal with with Blouis, a forgotten pregnancy plot, and wedding drama, I take any crumbs for my happiness.
well not that i hate dan but sorry writers you made us Love Chair and now these pics are just the icing on top of that cake, good luck writers on the futures shows.
@Junior, that's not true. I've lived in Europe my whole life, never heard of such a thing.
@Rena - I think we all are dreading it. Sigh... remember the days when anticipating a new GG ep was actually FUN?
Everyone is free to enter in Waldorf house without being announced, free to roam the rooms and talk to the first person he meets. This person doesn't ask WHO ARE YOU?
No. Every stranger is accepted without questions and without any surprises
I think that Dorota is Gossip Girl.
I am so dreading tonight's episode1
''It's really exciting because Chuck is finally going to know who Blair is going to choose'' What??? This has been going on for 5 seasons!!!!

1Password 3.6 is out now with a plethora of changes. Most notably, Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is now supported while OS X 10.5 Leopard and PowerPC support has been dropped.
David Chartier writes that the number of 1Password customers who are using Leopard or a PowerPC-based Mac has fallen into the single digits. Dropping Leopard/PowerPC support enables developers to shrink 1Password's size by 12 percent.
Chartier told TUAW that AgileBits looked into adopting Snow Leopard features such as Grand Central Dispatch in January 2010. The Snow Leopard features make it easier to do things under the hood, having a big impact on user-end experience, but essentially weren't possible with Leopard.
AgileBits co-founders made the final decision to pull Leopard support after consulting with the rest of the team, including support personnel and developers. Chartier said that less than six percent of 1Password users are on Leopard.
Leopard users can download an older version of 1Password as needed.
Lion support, on the other hand, means that 1Password will be compatible with the OS from the day it's available in the Mac App Store. The Safari extension also received an update to match it to the Chrome extension that debuted in November.
Other changes to 1Password include:
- Adds support for Firefox 5 while dropping support for Firefox 3.
- Adds support for Fluid
- Adds support for the upcoming Dropbox 1.2
- Changed the About page to reflect the company's name change to AgileBits.
- Removed Camino extension
- Can use Amazon CloudFront as an alternate download location
- A number of other bug fixes and changes
1Password 3.6 for Mac requires OS X 10.6 or higher. A single-user license is US$39.99 and a family license is $59.99. Upgrade pricing varies, depending on the original date of purchase. A free trial is available.
Update: Chartier clarified that the redesigned Safari extension will only be seen in Lion. Snow Leopard users retain the current extension.
Update 2: Chartier let us know that the redesigned Safari extension will be available to Snow Leopard users once Apple releases Safari 5.1, which is currently in developer preview.

Rivergate Festival organizers embracing stormy past
Rain and wind, thunder and lightning may have spoiled some festivals past, but this year, organizers are "going with the flow" and incorporating spring's unpredictable weather into the 21st annual Rivergate Festival April 18-20.
"We've just decided to use the weather to our advantage," Chamber CEO Lyn Arnold said. "We may even have to manufacture some raindrops if it's sunny."
Festival posters and advertising feature an outsize pair of rain boots decorated with symbols of all the things that make Rivergate fun: music, crawfish, barbecue, cars, bikes, and even a nod to an arena equine event that has coincided with the festival weekend for 10 years.

Leek and Fontina Gratin Recipe
Dec 29, 2011 3:08 pm
Welcome leeks to your dinner table
This is a delicious way to serve an underappreciated vegetable, which just happens to be part of the same family as garlic and onions. This dish is great paired with lamb, pork chops or steak.
As with any gratin, we recommend whipping up a batch of homemade breadcrumbs. You'll notice the difference in the fresher taste and crisper texture.
Servings: 6
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds leeks
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup fontina, grated
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup parmesan, grated
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut root ends off leeks, then use scissors to cut the dark outer leaves. Cut the white and light green parts into ½-inch pieces. Soak leeks in a large bowl or sinkful of water to remove grit, making sure to change water at least two times.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat, then add leeks and garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Sauté leeks for about 6-7 minutes or until tender. Transfer leeks to a bowl, then mix in cream, fontina, and nutmeg.
- Pour mixture into a buttered 13- by 9-inch pan. Mix breadcrumbs with parmesan cheese and sprinkle on top of leeks. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

New Generation Rx Online Game Teaches Teens About Prescription Drug Abuse
DUBLIN, Ohio, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In its newest educational program, the Generation Rx Initiative mixes online learning with video games to promote learning about the dangers of prescription drug misuse and abuse.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140115/CL46381 )(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130410/MM91761 )
The game can easily be integrated into parents' and teachers' National Drug Facts Week (NDFW) efforts Jan. 27- Feb. 2. NDFW is a health observance week for teens that aims to shatter the myths about drugs and drug abuse through community-based events and educational activities on the Web, on television, and through contests.
"We were thrilled to bring together a trauma-related activity with Cardinal Health Foundation's long-term commitment to drug abuse prevention education," said Gail Wheatley, executive director of Edheads. "The resulting activity is an engaging way to learn science, learn more about various medical careers, but most of all it's a great way to learn the dangers inherent in abusing prescription drugs."The online game "Trauma" targets students from middle school to college and allows them to learn by doing. By conducting medical exams and working with the emergency room physician and pharmacist to discover what kind of trauma occurred, students will learn how the abuse of prescription medications played a role in a car accident involving two high school students. The Cardinal Health Foundation collaborated with Edheads, a non-profit organization based in central Ohio that specializes in educational web development, to design the learning experience. The game is free-of-charge to play and takes 15-20 minutes to complete. "Edheads' success in teaching science, technology, engineering and math education through online, interactive games matches perfectly with our interest in introducing new and different Generation Rx programming," said Betsy Walker, Community Relations manager at Cardinal Health. "It's exciting to educate teens and young adults about a very serious topic like prescription drug abuse in a way that is engaging and non-traditional." To play "Trauma," students can visit Edheads.org; select "Trauma" from the "Choose an Activity" section; and, click "Start." Users also can download the free Edheads app and play the game on an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet.

Pakistan is being urged to vaccinate all of its children against polio amid a dangerous outbreak that has reached Syria and neighbouring countries.
The World Health Organisation said on Wednesday that 21 nations from the Middle East and surrounding area signed a joint declaration on eradicating the disease, pointing to Pakistan as a key part of the problem.
The UN's health organisation said said earlier this week that the polio virus had been confirmed in 13 of 22 children who became paralyzed in a northern Syrian province.
The WHO said the Syria outbreak comes from a strain that originated in Pakistan, where, along with Afghanistan and Nigeria, it is endemic - and has been spreading across the Middle East.
It says the virus has been detected in Egypt, and closely related strains of Pakistani origin turned up in sewage samples in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but higher immunisation rates in those places have helped keep the virus in check.
Pakistan approved the resolution, which the WHO says includes Afghanistan, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the UAE, and Yemen.
Pakistan's efforts to vaccinate children against the disease are often frustrated by attacks by fighters, including those from organistations such as the Pakistan Taliban, who claim the programme is a Western front to undermine them.
