Plus: Wine and Picnics in Northern California
My recent golf trip began on a hashish-clouded Haight-Ashbury street corner during the Summer of Love, 1967. I remember an amplified sitar, the smell of incense and an encounter with some long-haired runaways from my part of the country, the Midwest. "'Frisco's far out," a gaunt Joni Mitchell type told me. "But we're just crashin' till we get a ride over the bridge. Wanna come?"
The bridge, of course, was the Golden Gate, and the lotus land to which she referred was the Imaginary Coast, comprising Marin and Sonoma counties and the redwood country to the north. I had never been across the bridge. I pictured what lay beyond as a place where hippies camped under tie-dyed tents, baking banana bread and making candles. Friends from high school were visiting my garage apartment in Palo Alto, and they gave me bent looks that night when I told them of the offer. "Oh, wow," one of them said. "You should have gone."
Their eagerness for experience dwarfed mine. I was something of a control freak--a cola drinker, a meat eater, a library drone in pursuit of a Stanford degree. Like Clinton, I didn't inhale. And so I missed a lot.
December 1997. The wheels of my rented Skylark went throp, throp, throp. Sunlight sparkled on San Francisco Bay. My golf clubs were in the trunk.
As trips go--and I assume the risk in using a word reminted in the sixties--thirty years is a personal best. I did spend a working weekend at Napa Valley's Silverado Resort a few years ago, and I am vaguely aware that the Nike Tour stopped at the Windsor Golf Club, north of Santa Rosa. But I didn't start thinking about the land over the bridge until a couple of years ago, when the USGA picked San Francisco's Olympic Club at Lakeside for this year's U.S. Open. My golf-industry pals started booking tee times at Pebble Beach, Spy- glass and other familiar shrines along the Monterey coast, a hundred miles or so to the south.
"What's to the north?" I asked a Bay Area golf writer.
"Grapes," he replied, but he named several esteemed if underutilized golf courses and then snagged my interest by dropping the name of Alister Mackenzie, the renowned designer of Augusta National and Cypress Point. "Mackenzie built a little nine-hole course up by the Russian River," he said. "I don't remember what it's called, but the ninth hole is a deadly number. It's a par five so tight you have to walk single file down the fairway or your shoulders scrape the sides of huge redwood trees."

British magazine publisher Future has wholeheartedly embraced Apple's iOS Newsstand as a distribution channel for its digital mags, and the strategy is paying off. The company published its latest financial results today, including the news that "Gross revenues from digital edition sales now running at $1m per month".
This should be kept in perspective: Future's revenues for the financial year ended 30 September were £123.5m (around $196.8m), meaning that the digital magazines are only accounting for a relatively small portion of the company's overall turnover. That $1m figure is gross revenues too, before Apple's 30% cut.
What's more, those total revenues were down 13% year-on-year (or down 3% according to Future's "normalised" figures that "exclude revenues and costs relating to activities closed or divested between 1 October 2010 and 30 September 2012, but include any new activities launched in that period").
In other words, Future's tablet business is growing well, but it's not yet making up for falling revenues elsewhere in the business. Still, the company is bullish on the potential.
"We are particularly pleased that the Group has established a powerful position at the centre of the tablet revolution," says chairman Peter Allen in a statement. "As technology giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon contend for market leadership, they will undoubtedly fuel demand for the tablet-friendly content in which Future excels."
There are some more stats in the financials: Future has more than 100 digital editions of its magazines, and has sold 2m "products" in the last 12 months through the Newsstand store on iPad.
"We have generated gross sales of over £6m on Apple's Newsstand since its launch in October 2011. Our current global sales on all tablet devices are running at $1m (gross) a month," explained CEO Mark Wood.
"Future's T3 is the top-selling tablet title in the UK, selling around 30,000 copies a month, while MacLife is the top technology title in the US with sales of around 65,000 a month. Around 90% of our digital edition sales are to new customers and 40% are outside our core UK and US markets, pointing to further global opportunities. More than 60% of new customers sign up for subscriptions and the renewal rate is running at over 60%, creating a high-quality long-term revenue stream."
The publisher is hoping to generate more than half its revenues from digital within three to four years, although that includes websites as well as apps and digital issues.

On the outside of my fireplace there is a pipe with a knob. Currently perpendicular as its off I can move parallel to pipe to turn as on.. The pipe goes into my fireplace I am not sure if this pipe is just to start a wood fire or if I can buy a care mic log set and use this gas pipe to stay on for the ceramic set.. This is my first time owning a fireplace so I'm lost.. |

I believe that photo is posted upside down. However as far as that fireplace being a gas only from what I can see it is not. Not being able to see it clearly I would say no its not, what it appears to be is an ignition line for wood. I am concerned with what appears to be a 90 degree elbow that is in very poor condition. Please, I beg you please have a local pro look at the unit first hand before you light the fireplace. I know money can be tight after a move but I want you get someone in there to check that gas line as well as flue before you do anything with that unit. I was told by a firefighter the #1 cause of fires in the fall and winter are fireplaces. Just last New Years my next door neighbour had a chimney fire from a dirty flue that caught fire, that's when I talked to the firefighter. As well he will give you a definite answer as to what you have there. I wish I could be of more help, but you need to service that unit. |

Baranek: IHSA asking officials to enforce rules by the book
By Tony Baranek email@example.com December 1, 2013 10:54PM
Davon Smith from Homewood Flossmore tucks the ball so Antario Simon can't take it. Worsom Robinson/For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: January 3, 2014 6:24AM
I had a very informative chat this week with IHSA associate executive director Kurt Gibson regarding the emphasis being made on hand-check calls and coaches box decorum in boys and girls basketball.
As you are probably aware if you've gone to any games, more players than ever are fouling out and more coaches are sitting down after receiving a first technical for leaving their 17-foot square.
It's not a coincidence.
The IHSA prior to this season informed its officials that they wanted to put tighter restrictions on what players can do on defense.
"You've seen all the clutching and grabbing and physical play that has been allowed by the officials over the last 10-15 years," Gibson said. "What we're trying to encourage our officials to do is consistently enforce the rules as they are written. We've allowed too much of the contact that is going on to be considered incidental contact.
"There was a time when officials were trained or taught to think, 'Well, if there is no advantage gained, just ignore it.' We're trying to give movement back to the player, so we really think there needs to be a more consistent enforcement of the rules as they're written."
The IHSA also asked its officials to crackdown on coaches leaving their boxes and making displays of unsportsmanlike conduct.
All sorts of stories have been circulating, including a couple about coaches being T'd up for getting a drink of water and leaving the box to retrieve a loose ball. I think I was three or four games in before I got through 32 minutes without at least one coach being sat down with a technical for stepping over the line.
Many say the IHSA is reacting to the behavior of the coaches and players in the Seton Academy-Harrisburg Class 2A boys title game last March, which culminated in Seton leaving behind its second-place trophy. They're right … sort of.
"The types of behavior displayed particularly early in that contest are displayed far too often in high school basketball games, not only in Illinois but around the country," Gibson said. "Perhaps that incident brought the situation to a head, but I would say that our office has been talking about the need to enforce the coaches box (rule) for as long as I've been here (12 years).
"I think officials are finally seeing that they need to take our (lead) that they start enforcing this like it's supposed to be, a little more seriously."
On the court, there were 61 fouls called in the Hillcrest vs. H-F game. Bloom has had at least two games in which five Blazing Trojans fouled out. Marist had five players foul out and four more finish with four fouls in a loss to Rich Central. I haven't seen any boys games yet, but from some of the public forum threads I've seen, coaches are having to go deeper than usual into their benches.
It comes in the wake of a one-page letter filled with underlined, boldfaced and capitalized words regarding the enforcement of the hand check and coaches box rules that has been circulating among athletic directors and coaches. Many think it came from the IHSA, but I confirmed with a long-time official that it was written within their ranks as sort of a "how-to" guide.
So don't blame the IHSA for being a bully.
Gibson, however, is adamant that officials need to clean the game up with more whistles, not just for hand checks, but also for traveling, three seconds and palming the ball.
Frustrated players, meanwhile, are shaking their heads and the coaches are howling.
It's been a tough two weeks to watch. Let's hope it gets a little easier to adjust.

Kim Nguyen's War Witch: Canada's official best foreign language Oscar submission
Telefilm Canada has announced that Kim Nguyen's War Witch (Rebelle) has been chosen as Canada's official submission for the best foreign language film award at the 85th Academy Awards.
The dramatic feature follows the story of a pregnant 14-year-old girl who was abducted by a rebel army at the age of 12. It was written and directed by Nguyen and was shot in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The film was selected from 12 films submitted to the pan-Canadian Oscar selection committee chaired by Telefilm Canada.
Canada has received Oscar nominations in this category for Monsieur Lazhar, Incendies, In Darkness, and Water.
The Barbarian Invasions (Les Invasions barbares) won the award in 2003.
Sixty-five countries will each submit one film for consideration. The nominations for the 85th Academy Awards will be announced on January 15, 2013.

The fly stitch is a basic embroidery stitch that, when worked horizontally along a line, creates a scalloped line of stitches. You can also work the fly stitch vertically, and you can even work it as an isolated stitch, to use as leaves, foliage, scattered filling, and so forth. So it's a versatile stitch, and an easy one!
In the photo above, the fly stitch is worked in bright blue (stranded embroidery floss), and the two rows of fly stitch are arranged so that they mirror each other. You can see that this can create the foundation for a nice border or for a seam treatment in crazy quilting. You can further embellish the line with French knots or daisy stitches, or other combinations of stitches.
You can also play around with the way you mirror the lines of fly stitch, by mirroring at the anchor stitches, or by alternating the mirroring from line to line, to create a diamond filling pattern.
So there's lots you can do with the fly stitch – it's worth learning!
Here's the video:

As the first few months of the school year have passed, I have gotten into a school lunch rut. I was starting to pack my 1st grader a peanut butter & honey sandwich everyday! Then a little leftover pasta inspired me to create a new, quick dish for school & work lunches.
This is is versatile and can be changed to use up a variety of leftovers. You could substitute leftover rice or add leftover chicken/tuna or beans. You could even challenge an older child to create his own creation using up already in the fridge. Here's to breaking the school lunch rut!

Preparation Time – 5 minutes
Cooking Time – 0 minutes!

- Mix all ingredients together well. Pack with a piece of fruit and whole grain crackers. Keep cool until lunchtime.

First phase of Hector H. Henry Greenway now open
City Council and family members dedicated the first completed phase of the Hector H. Henry, II Greenway Tuesday at the Odell Elementary School entrance in Moss Creek Village. What will become the City of Concord's longest greenway project was named in July 2013 in honor of Council Member Dr. Hector H. Henry, II. Henry served the City of Concord for over thirty years on the City Council. He began his service as an Alderman in 1973 and continued until 1989. Following a four-year rest, he was again elected to serve as a Council Member in 1994 and continued until passing away on Thanksgiving Day, 2013. The greenway will eventually follow the banks of the Rocky River fourteen miles through Concord. The river enters City limits when it passes under Davidson Highway (NC 73) and continues through Concord until after its confluence with Mallard Creek, where it enters Harrisburg and unincorporated Cabarrus County. See photos from Tuesday's event at flickr.com/concordnc.
FUTURE GREENWAY named in honor of Council Member Hector Henry II.
Rocky River Greenway, NW Phase Improvements are planned for open space and utility easement along a segment of Rocky River between Harris Road and Highway 73 to develop a trail as part of the Concord Greenway System. Current thoughts are to provide a paved trail, add amenities, and provide connections to Odell Elementary School, Harris Road Middle School, Moss Creek and Moss Farm Street where public parking will be available. This greenway corridor has been designated as a Carolina Thread Trail corridor. The Carolina Thread Trail is a regional greenway trail system planned to link approximately 2.3 million people in 15 counties in North and South Carolina.FUTURE ROCKY RIVER GREENWAY (Hector Henry II Greenway)

The greenway trail will run along the top of this berm that remains from an old retention basin.
The greenway trail runs through this open field to connect neighborhoods to nature and environmental opportunities along Rocky River.
View from the greenway corridor.
Potential neighborhood access to the greenway.
This retention pond is home to many types of waterfowl. The trail will use portions of an existing utility easement, rather than clearing new paths, thus minimizing current erosion problems along the easement.
This Egret is one of the many species of wildlife living along the Rocky River Greenway NW Phase. An observation deck/outdoor classroom is proposed overlooking this pond.
The greenway trail will follow the edge of Rocky River within a successional field.
This utility access between Harris Rd. Middle School and Odell Elementary School will be converted to paved trail giving access to the greenway and its environment for children to use as an outdoor classroom.
An abundance of bird life exists along the future greenway trail corridor.
Much of this greenway trail is adjacent to and overlooks a conservation easement.
The trail corridor will follow a strip of upland between Rocky River and a conservation easement.
The public is very supportive of the development of a greenway trail that will provide a recreation outlet for users of all ages.
The Rocky River Greenway NW Phase will provide much nature based education for users of this trail, including elementary school children as part of a new curriculum.
This eroded hillside will become a future neighborhood connection.
1/4 Mile Markers at Concord's Downtown Greenway Loop
Quarter mile markers are now indicated with two red lizards at each location.
Downtown Greenway Loop Information and Map
"Marking the Thread" In September, 2009 the Downtown Connector was designated by the Carolina Thread Trail as a Thread Trail segment. Visitors will experience marked Carolina Thread Trail segments and know that they are celebrating the debut of a landmark trail project that will ultimately reach 15 counties and 2.3 million citizens. For additional information, call Mark Kincaid at 704-920-5611.

The Downtown Connector adds .052 miles to the McEachern Greenway for a total of 1.5 miles. Greenway identifiers include brick columns at the greenway entryways, banners along all the loops, and brick pavers adorning the sidewalks.
For more information, please contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 704-920-5600.
CONCORD -The City of Concord is in the process of expanding the current Greenway system by constructing a new trail located in the downtown area. City staff presented to City Council an update on a more pedestrian friendly community and open space preservation project, which council approved. Council heard an update on the downtown connector designed to connect McEachern Greenway and the center town area. Funding has been designated in the City's Capital Project budget for these items.
"This project gives us an opportunity to expand the open space in the downtown area and has very beneficial long term benefits. The Downtown Connector Greenway will offer a serene oasis for people working and living in downtown to just get away and have quiet, reflective time in addition to the active exercise component," commented Mark Kincaid, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation.
The project, now including the City Council initiated purchase of an additional eleven acres of open space, will provide a connector to the existing McEachern Greenway and Mickey McGee Park and along with additional sidewalk projects, will provide a two-mile loop connecting downtown Concord, McGee Park, Myers Park, and the Village Greenway. Construction was delayed when some of the land adjacent to the Greenway route became available, thus providing for an improved route and the opportunity to preserve the eleven acres of open space. Construction is underway.
Construction will soon begin on a pedestrian connection to link the McEachern Greenway and Les Myers Park to Union Street.
The planned Lawndale Street sidewalk project will allow a safe transition from Myers Park, downtown, to Village Greenway. Pedestrian improvement projects along Lawndale Ave are anticipated to connect the downtown area with the Greenway. Sidewalks with curb and gutter are planned for this area. Anticipated completion of the Greenway connector is Summer 2009. Future Greenway phases will include Means Avenue and walking paths to the hospital area.
Project funds are provided by PARTF grant monies dedicated to enhancing the recreation and parks programs statewide. The Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) provides dollar-for-dollar matching grants to local governments for parks and recreational projects to serve the public. NCDOT grants are also designated for this project with the City of Concord matching funds.
At the same meeting, Council approved a resolution supporting the Carolina Thread Trail, which will provide funding for planning and developing Greenway that will eventually interconnect the region. Consistent with the Thread Trail concept, the Council approved a contract to begin the design of the Rocky River Greenway, starting with the section between Weddington Road and Concord Parkway (US 29).
"Greenway, pedestrian paths, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks are identified as priority assets with in the Livable Community Master Plan. All of these projects enhance the quality of life in the downtown area, provide an avenue for healthy living, and with the addition of the open space provide wildlife a sanctuary. Also in this project are exercise stations geared toward the active senior population," remarked Kincaid.

Greenways are linear parks of land left in a natural state that provide enjoyable corridors for walking, jogging, skating and biking. Most greenways are built along banks of rivers, streams or lakes.
Unauthorized motor vehicles prohibited. Alcoholic beverages, drugs and weapons are prohibited. Pets must be kept on leashes at all times. Bikes must stay on trails to avoid damage to vegetation and wildlife habitat. Enjoy your greenways!
The Village Greenway, the City of Concord's second greenway opened on August 4, 2007. Running through the historic Gibson Village community, The Village Greenway will provide citizens of Concord with a half-mile paved asphalt trail that walkers, runners, bicyclists, and roller bladers can all enjoy.
The Village Greenway trail starts on Elm Avenue, NW, beside the Boys and Girls Club of Cabarrus County. The trail travels down Elm Avenue, turns left at Alexander Street, and then right at Academy Avenue. The greenway takes you past the Academy Recreation Center and Webb Field, and then crosses a bridge and travels alongside Webb and McAllister fields. The greenway trail then crosses Crowell Drive and follows Locke Mill Creek to Kerr Street.
There are three entrances to The Village Greenway, at the Boys and Girls Club of Cabarrus County, on Academy Avenue just past Webb Field, and on Kerr Street between Crowell Drive and Cedar Drive.
The Village Greenway will give citizens of Concord with another opportunity to exercise and enjoy the natural beauty of Concord. It also provides citizens with a safe, walkable trail connecting the Gibson Village Community with Historic Downtown Concord, where you can shop, eat, and visit entertainment destinations.
The city is utilizing grants and public tax dollars to fund the greenway system. For additional photos of The Village Greenway, please click here.
The City of Concord's first greenway, this paved walkway extends one mile along Branchview Drive between Les Myers Park and J. W. McGee Park. A pedestrian tunnel allows trail users to safely cross underneath Corban Avenue. With trails constructed of ten foot wide paved asphalt, walkers, runners, bicylists and roller bladers can enjoy nature equally. The greenway system will give many residents the convenience of a city park in their own backyard. Parking at Les Myers Park or J. W. McGee, Jr. Park will enable all residents the ability to enjoy the beauty and serenity of our natural resources without ever leaving the city limits of Concord. Future phases of the McEachern Greenway will connect the greenway to Concord's downtown and to the hospital area.

text: | Great college weekend aheadNovember 23, 2012 - Dana SulonenIt's weekends like this one that make being a sports writer a pretty cool gig. On Friday morning, while people were still battling long lines for televisions and gaming systems, I was driving to Kent State University to watch the Golden Flashes take on the Ohio University Bobcats. When I decided to cover this game about a month ago, I thought the stakes for this game would be much higher. I thought today would decide which of the two teams would be making the trip to Detroit to represent the East in the Mid-American Conference championship game. However, Ohio lost three out of its last four games, and combined with Kent staying perfect in the conference, the Golden Flashes stamped their ticket last week when they defeated Bowling Green to represent the MAC East against Northern Iowa next Friday for the MAC title. There is still something to play for at Dix Stadium today. The Golden Flashes are trying to become the first team since Miami of Ohio in 2003 to go without a loss in the MAC. Also with that win last week, Kent clinched the best record in school history. Now at 10-1, the 2012 Golden Flashes beat the 9-2 record set in 1973. An 11th win would be icing on the cake. Also, ranked at No. 23 in the BCS, Kent I'm sure would love a few extra notches up in the standings going into next week's title game. And that's just my Friday. Then there's Ohio State-Michigan on Saturday. But that's a blog for tomorrow. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | |

Yes, it's possible to grow papaya in northern Utah, zone 4, and even get it to flower and produce fruit! I planted it two years ago inside, under high intensity grow lights. |

Hope it does well for you, it looks good so far. |

are these seeds from the grocery store or the TR hovey dwarf type? |
- Posted by arctictropical Z4 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 22, 13 at 12:30
Yes, that's what it is.... TR Hovey. Thanks! |
is it in 2 gal nursery pot? was it in 1 gal nursery pot when you bought it 2 yrs ago? it's very impressive! so in winter you keep it under lights? does it go dormant? what kind of soil/les medium is it in? can you post a pic when the fruit gets larger? |
- Posted by arctictropical Z4 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 11, 13 at 21:37
Hi petrushka. I planted them all from seed. I move them inside under high intensity grow lights during the winter. They lost most of their leaves with the shock of coming inside a couple of weeks ago, but they didn't die. They pretty much slow down their growth and just sit there until I take them back outside into the strong sunlight and heat. I just use regular indoor potting soil mixed with some sand and perlite. |
they look great! 2yrs from seed - wow, doing fabulously! did you just use fresh seeds from a fruit from grocery? did you sprout it in spring under lights? |
I moved my Hibiscus indoors last month when the nights got a little nippy and it is looking crappy. I should have added lights maybe. My houseplants look ok but maybe I should add some lights too. They are on a wire rack with 4 shelves. I need to add some wheels so when I come in the basement through the lower level stairs I can get through without fighting a jungle of house plants. It is a south facing door that is half window. Last winter was ok, but thjat was before adding Sabal palm, Hibiscus, Ponytail palm, Desert rose, Money tree, Hoyia (if I spelled it right). Bird of Paradise. Those I've had for a couple years are, Parlor palm, The Norfolk island palm, a plant that I can't remember the name of and I would need tpo go to the basement to see if there are any others. My Desert rose flowered this summer, yeah! That may be easy and not worth celebration, but yeah! antway, til I know different. I will be making a shelter around my Ensete banana or my palm (needle?) I have some Styrofoam and wooden pieces I can use for protection of something tender to zone 6 elements. I don't want to make it too soon and bake the plants, but too late isn't good either. Anyone have a timetable for zone 6 Pa or roundabouts this area? I should be asking Arctictropic when to take in the tender flowering/ fruiting Hibiscus. You have accomplished something really great to get fruit on a potted plant. I am sorry for going off topic. Please elaborate on your methods. Do you protect outdoors til fruit starts to bud on? I love Longon fruit, if it is the orange peach type fruit. In Florida in March of 2012, I was able to collect some ripe off the tree and brought some home for my dad. If it wasn't Longon it was a name I can't remember. They are commonly put in Asian food buffets for desserts. They are better right off the tree of course. They are zone 8. I hope I can get a fruit piece with a seed in it when I go to an Asian buffet. I go at least every 3 weeks, but the fruit is usually canned anmd seeds are usually not missed in the canning process. |
Sorry, I guess in the basement under lights is a simple explanation of how you grew the Papaya. I want to try Loquat and Longon. I couldn't think of the right name on the last post. I have natural light, with a southern exposure in my basement. I just wonder if supplemental light is needed. I may try a Dwarf Cavendish banana in the future. If you have time to add any tips please do, otherwise I am just going to try to put them close as possible to my basement door with a window and try to add my shop light over the tropical that need more light than some houseplants that are shade dwellers in the tropics. And of course my now ugly Hibiscus. I should've not brought it in so soon, I was afraid of frost killing it. I still have my Ensete banana looking great, no cold has made it shrivel yet. |

#1 hit single by MIchael Jackson in 1988
Starchild is the sixth album by Teena Marie, released in 1984. Following the relative commercial failure of her previous album, Robbery, Starchild became the highest-selling album of Marie's career. It peaked at #9 on the US Black Albums chart and #31 on the Billboard Albums chart. Lead single "Lovergirl" became a major hit, reaching #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Marie's only top 30 hit on that chart). The track "My Dear Mr. Gaye" is a tribute to Marvin Gaye, who had been fatally shot by his father on April 1, 1984.

Kick-Start Your New Year: Wash Your Hats, Scarves, & Gloves
Hats, scarves, and gloves have likely been in heavy rotation for the past couple of months. (Those of you in warm climates, try not to rub it in.) And this weekend is the perfect time to pop them in the laundry.
Hats and scarves, because you wear them close to your face, can have makeup or oil that rubs off on them. And, well, your gloves could always stand to be washed—who knows what kind of germs you've picked up on them. So your winter accessories should be washed somewhere around 3 to 5 times per season. Including right before you put them away in the spring.
Follow washing instructions carefully depending on the material. Hold back a machine washable set of winter accessories in case you have to go out before your others are dry. Then you can just toss those in with your next load of towels.
Read this for more about when to wash winter clothes and click here to find great deals on winter staples (including the scarf in the photo above).
Are you tackling any new year's goals this weekend? Let us know what they are!

Published September 30, 2011 Pump It Up
In order to do certain things, it helps if you're in the Department of Justice. Like carry tear gas. Have Leonardo DiCaprio play you in a movie. And (now we know, thanks to last week's headlines) spend $16 on a muffin. Well, we can't help you with the tear gas (yet), but we do know where you can get a $16 muffin. And you'll want to bring a date. So say hello to the 24K Jumbo Pumpkin Muffin, an off-menu, limited-quantity muffin for two at Founding Farmers, available starting this Sunday brunch and every Sunday in October. Now, this is not the kind of bacon-and-whiskey-laden creation we sometimes tell you about (don't tell the bacon). Nope, this is a bit more... wholesome, comprising 24 organic ingredients like cranberries, raisins and pumpkin seed granola. But being that it's Sunday brunch and all, this thing isn't without its indulgences—namely chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting filling. We should also point out: it's huge. Big enough for you and your brunch date to split. And unlike the Justice Department's hotels, they'll even throw in the coffee—a two-person French press of Intelligentsia organic. A side of bacon is up to you. |

'Home is a Roof Over a Pig' and 'The Forgetting River'
Two very different memoirs chronicle distant searches for family ties.
Who are we? Are we best defined by the language we speak, the schools we attend, the religion our parents subscribe to, or the country that offers us citizenship? Or does it require a blend of all of the above and more to determine our identities?
Two very different American writers were propelled to opposite corners of the globe in their separate quests to answer such questions.
In Home is a Roof Over a Pig, Aminta Arrington didn't move to China looking for her own roots. Instead, she was seeking out the cultural heritage of her adopted daughter. Three years earlier, she and her husband had adopted a charming Chinese toddler they named Grace. But the first time they removed Grace's clothes and replaced them with "the cutest outfit we had brought with us and a fresh Pampers," Arrington worried that they were changing something more fundamental – "her identity."
It is the search for Grace's roots that prompts Arrington to take a teaching job at a rural Chinese university and move her family there. "We are in the real China," her husband notes the day they arrive. Arrington concurs – and it's just what she wants: "A China of raising children, taking crowded buses to work, sitting on stools playing Chinese checkers, hand-washing laundry and hanging it out the window."
The family of five – Arrington and her husband, their other two children, and Grace – crowd into a tiny concrete bunker of an apartment. The children enroll in public school and Mom and Dad join the university faculty. Slowly, as months and then years pass, the Arringtons absorb the language, adapt to the culture, and begin to belong.
Arrington is a sunny ("Cynicism and I cannot breathe the same air") and energetic guide to today's China – where Volvos glide among donkey carts and the Kitchen God coexists with Marxism. It is here that Arrington – while seeking out her daughter's roots – also discovers "the person I was created to be."

Hostess Brands might be out of business but you don't have to give up on your obsession with their sugary sweets as long as you have the Twinkie bundt cake recipe in your possession.
This snack cake is exactly what you expect it to be, just five times bigger. A golden vanilla fluffy pastry is filled with marshmallow creamy sweetness and made into a circular donut. When you cut a slice from the Twinkie bundt cake, you will be astonished at how closely it resembles the original snack cake. That's not all, the taste is almost exactly matched.
Sweetapolita blogger Rosie Alyea adapted this recipe from the bakery book known as 'Pure Vanilla: Irresistible Recipes and Essential Techniques.' She kindly made it available for all those who might be experienced Hostess withdrawal.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Russo, Issie Magrieta firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-10072010-153647 Document Title Patterns and processes underlying genetic diversity in the Namaqua rock mouse Micaelamys namaquensis Smith, 1834 (Rodentia : Muridae) from southern Africa Degree PhD Department Genetics Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof C T Chimimba Co-Supervisor Prof P Bloomer Supervisor Keywords
- Namaqua rock mouse
- Micaelamys namaquensis
Date 2010-04-21 Availability unrestricted Abstract African rock rats of the genera Aethomys Thomas, 1915 and Micaelamys Ellerman, 1941, are endemic to East, Central and southern Africa but extend marginally into West Africa. In the past 16 subspecies have been described in the Namaqua rock mouse M. namaquensis Smith, 1834. Recent morphometric and morphological patterns of intraspecific variation suggested the recognition of only four subspecies: M. n. namaquensis, M. n. alborarius, M. n. monticularis and M. n. lehocla, of which the distributions appeared to coincide with the major phytogeographical zones of southern Africa. In the present study earlier analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b (cyt b) gene variation were extended. Taken together these results show that M. namaquensis represents a polytypic species complex but with much more diversity than detected using morphology. Phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses revealed 14 genetically distinct lineages of which several show strong geographic association with particular vegetation biomes or bioregions. The distributional ranges of eight of these lineages showed some correspondence with the type localities of previously described subspecies of M. namaquensis. Some clades displayed considerable within-lineage variation indicating possible fine-scale population structuring, while others showed very little differentiation. Divergence times between lineages varied between 7.26 MYA and 2.70 MYA, corresponding to a Late Miocene to Pliocene radiation. Cytochrome b sequences alone do not fully resolve the evolutionary relationships among the lineages and the phylogenetic analysis was thus supplemented with nuclear Recombination Activating Gene 1 (RAG1) sequences. This gene was successfully sequenced for 11 of the identified lineages. Independent analyses of the two genes were not congruent possibly as a result of incomplete lineage sorting of the nuclear gene. The combined dataset yielded good support for six of the lineages. Finally, a more detailed phylogeographic analysis was conducted among ten localities of the Eastern Kalahari Bushveld lineage based on mitochondrial cyt b sequences to elucidate processes underlying diversification in this species complex. A genetic pattern of phylogenetic continuity with a lack of spatial separation was observed. The mismatch distribution analysis suggests that the lineage has expanded its population size and the geographical expansion may have followed environmental changes in the recent past. Estimates of female gene flow indicate connectivity among localities but not to the extent expected for a panmictic population. Instead a combination of a stepping-stone model and metapopulation dynamics may be applicable to this lineage. Examination of type material of described subspecies is needed to resolve the identity of the unique lineages which will allow us to better understand the phylogeography and mode of speciation in M. namaquensis. In addition, localities of sympatry (lineages in sympatry) should also be studied in more detail in order to help resolve the current taxonomic uncertainties within M. namaquensis. Future research should therefore include a multidisciplinary approach, such as cytogenetics, morphology and more gene regions. Copyright © 2009, University of Pretoria. All rights reserved.

Max Allan Collins
His graphic novel Road to Perdition is the basis of the Academy Award-winning film starring Tom Hanks, directed by Sam Mendes. His many comics credits include the syndicated strip "Dick Tracy"; his own "Ms. Tree"; "Batman"; and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, based on the hit TV series for which he has also written video games, jigsaw puzzles, and a bestselling series of novels (for Pocket Books) that has sold over 1.5 copies in America alone.
He has been termed "the novelization king" by Entertainment Weekly, with tie-in books on the USA TODAY bestseller list nine times and the New York Times list twice. His movie novels include Saving Private Ryan, Windtalkers, Waterworld, I Love Trouble, Daylight, I Spy, U.S Marshals, Air Force One, Maverick, U-571, The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King and The Pink Panther. He even wrote the prose version of the film script based on his own Road to Perdition. His TV tie-in work includes two NYPD Blue novels, a trio of DARK ANGEL books and the current BONES novel, Buried Deep.
An independent filmmaker in the midwest, he wrote and directed the Lifetime movie "Mommy" (1996) and a 1997 sequel, "Mommy's Day." He wrote "The Expert," a 1995 HBO World Premiere, and wrote and directed the innovative made-for-DVD feature, "Real Time: Siege at Lucas Street Market" (2000). "Shades of Noir" (2004), an anthology of his short films, includes his award-winning documentary, "Mike Hammer's Mickey Spillane." Shooting on a feature film based on his acclaimed novel, The Last Quarry, began shooting in January 2007 from the author's screenplay.
His one-man show, "Eliot Ness: An Untouchable Life," was nominated for an Edgar for Best Play of 2004 by the Mystery Writers of America; a film version, written and directed by Collins, received its world premiere in Rock Island, Illinois, in February 2006.
His other credits include film criticism, short fiction, songwriting, trading-card sets. His non-fiction work has received many honors, with his coffee-table book The History of Mystery receiving nominations for every major mystery awards and his recent Men's Adventure Magazines winning the Anthony Award.
Collins lives in Muscatine, Iowa, with his wife, writer Barbara Collins; they have collaborated on three novels and numerous short stories.

Willow Creek Approach
TH: | Take Colorado 17 to the town of Moffat. On the south side of town, look for a sign for the turn to Crestone. Turn east on the "RD T" road. You will soon see a Forest Service sign that says 15 miles to the South Crestone trailhead. Drive 11.4 miles to a road junction. Keep left and follow the main road into Crestone. In Crestone, turn right (east) onto Galena Street and the road will turn to 2WD dirt, with approx. 2 miles to go. When the road enters National Forest, it is labeled as the "South Crestone Road 949" and becomes more difficult but good-clearance vehicles should be able to make it to the end. |
Route: |
Leave the trailhead and follow the trail for a couple hundred feet to a trail junction - Photo #1. Turn right and follow the Willow Creek trail into the forest and across 2 small streams. After a short distance, exit the forest, turn left, and continue up through a clearing - Photo #2. Follow the solid trail back into the forest and up a bunch of large switchbacks. After over 1.25 miles from the trailhead, exit the forest on a small hill (9,900') where much of the remaining route can be seen to the east - Photo #3. Taken from the same location, Photo #4 is a closer look at some of the route, over 2 miles ahead. |
Notes: |
IMPORTANT: This route enters the Sangre De Cristo Wilderness area. Wilderness areas have special regulations and restrictions for party size, dispersed camping, campfires, etc. Also, dog owners should read the wilderness information carefully because some wilderness areas prohibit dogs to be off-leash and/or limit how close dogs can be to lakes and streams. If you have questions about the Sangre De Cristo Wilderness area, please contact a U.S. Forest Service office for the National Forest(s) listed above. |

Was good value for money. Room was small but functionable. It was clean and beds comfortable. Bathroom ensuite was modern fresh and clean and shower was lovely and hot. Parking is cheap. Only grumble was I didn't like the pillows but for the cheap price it's fine. Have stayed in both the ridges section and the sleep and go and recommend them.

To avoid any confusion, this place is VERY BASIC. It is clean, comfortable and cheap. It is what one would consider "student" accommodation! I enjoyed it as it took me back to my student days. Just don't expect the world and you won't be disappointed!

Booked a renovated studio room over the weekend. The room is small but practical. Good matress, but only one waifer thin pillow. Air con. Shower was hot but compact. Arrived late and large car park was full so get there earlier. Cheap, clean and good for a sleep but not much else.

Not only do you get a fridge and a flat screen Sky TV, but a microwave oven too. Just down the hall from my room was a well appointed kitchen and next to that a 24hr coin laundry. I will always be staying here in the future. Review by: Pierre SinelDate stayed June 1, 2010 |

This motel was substandard. My wife and I had a very bad night because I was awoken at 3.AM and 5.30 AM by noisy guests talking loudly and slamming doors so I asked for a different room for the Friday night October 23rd on a different floor and offered to pay any difference in price required. The Man on reception said that the Hotel was totally booked out because of the Cox plate oand that I couldn't have a different room on the Friday ( next ) night. A friend of mine rang the same Hotel and booked a room in that same Hotel ten hours later (6pm Friday evening )and got a room! No shower curtain in the ensuite meant the bathroom floor got completely wet when anyone showered. No individual room controls for air conditioner and crockery was not cleaned properly. Also there were no instructions were provided in the room (No 6023) to tell people how to operate the air conditioning or the TV. Both nights people were wandering the corridor knocking on doors and slamming doors after midnight. Review by: Robert HillierDate stayed October 27, 2009 |

Very difficult to find as there is no signage out the front. You wouldn't think that it was part of the Rydges complex, unless you knew. Staff seemed to be unable to give accurate directions, which made it even more difficult. Review by: AnonymousDate stayed September 9, 2008 |

It's always an exiting occasion, when going into the hide in total darkness. At first there are only sounds, mainly the calls of ravens, claiming the site. Soon the eye will start to make out what is going on. A little shiver will go through, when I see the large silhouette's of Sea Eagles around. That's what I came for.

Our family has a tradition of giving a Christmas ornament that commemorates something significant in that person's previous year. So when my son presented his girlfriend with my mother's engagement ring, I knew I had to find an ornament that would capture that event. They were both thrilled to have this ring to hang on their tree to remind them each year of the joy and commitment of that day.
Posted 3/27/2013 at 7:53 AM by Alison
My son got engaged shortly before Christmas so I purchased this ring and painted the date along the band. They have it hanging on an ornament stand in their apartment. It's a beautiful reminder!

Federal Appeals Court Reviews Texas Abortion Law
A federal appeals court is weighing whether the state of Texas can enforce a law that led to the closing of many abortion clinics.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals didn't indicate how soon it would rule after hearing arguments Monday over a district judge's decision to declare parts of the 2013 law unconstitutional.
Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights sued to block a provision requiring doctors to have admitting privileges near where the abortion is performed. The groups say U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel correctly ruled in October that the provisions place an unconstitutional burden on women's access to abortion.
The 5th Circuit allowed Texas to enforce the law while it appealed the decision.
