and nightlife
Top of the range places include: Il Mulino (an outpost of a classy Italian restaurant in New York) in the Little Nell residences; Syzygy, Piñons and Element 47 (in the Little Nell hotel) – all with innovative American cooking; Matsuhisa (Japanese fusion); and the Rustique Bistro, Brexi Brasserie ('lovely food, but a bit dark') and Cache Cache (all French). Steakhouse 316 is a small 'boutique' steakhouse in 1920s' style: 'Pricey, but fantastic steaks! Great service.' The tiny Wild Fig has 'a varied, Mediterranean-influenced menu'. The underground Zocalito offers Latin American cuisine: 'absolutely delicious' was one reporter's view. The main dining room at the Jerome hotel is 'very good, very glamorous', says a 2013 visitor.
You can eat more cheaply at a lot of the smart places by eating at the bar – basically, you get smaller portions and can't book, which of course may suit you. We did this very happily on our last visit at Jimmy's (American), L'Hostaria and Campo de Fiori (both Italian).
Mid-market and cheaper choices include: Little Annie's ('massive portions', 'a meat feast'), Asie (Asian fusion – 'astonishingly good' dumplings); Hickory House for Ribs ('an Aspen institution – very busy and generous helpings'); Brunelleschi's ('good Italian food', 'excellent service', 'very family friendly'); Cantina ('friendly service and good Tex Mex'); Red Onion (saloon/grill – 'large portions'); Su Casa (Mexican – 'central; good value'); Ute City (American style bistro – 'varied menu, great value').
Mountain restaurants
Good by American standards
Surprisingly, Highlands and Snowmass (see separate chapter) have good table-service places and Aspen Mountain doesn't.
Editors' choice
At Highlands, Cloud Nine bistro (544 3063) is the nearest thing in the States to a cosy Alpine hut, with excellent food – thanks to an Austrian chef. Not wildly expensive, either – $40 for two courses (daily changing set menu). We had delicious elk stew here on our last visit.
Worth knowing about On Aspen Mountain there's the Sundeck self-service – about as good as an American self-service restaurant gets – light and airy with great views across to Highland Bowl. Bonnie's self-service is another option: 'fantastic white chilli bean soup', 'hearty stews and burgers'. On Highlands, the recently refurbished mid-mountain Merry-Go-Round self-service has 'a comfortable bar area', where one recent reporter enjoyed 'one of the best pastas ever'.
On Buttermilk the mountaintop Cliffhouse specializes in a Mongolian barbecue stir-fry, and Bumps (self-service) offers a 'good range'. You can picnic at The Cafe West, Top of West warming hut, Bottom of Tiehack warming hut and No Problem Cabin.
Lots of options
In the late afternoon, we've known Cloud Nine on Highlands to turn into a very un-American Austrian-style après-ski venue – booze-fuelled dancing on the tables in ski boots. A few bars at the bases get busy – notably Out of Bounds at Highlands and Ajax Tavern ('very lively upmarket crowd') in Aspen. The Terrace Bar at the Little Nell is a great place for gazing at facelifts; 39 Degrees at the Sky hotel has a chic atmosphere.
Later on, wine connoisseurs could try Victoria's Espresso & Wine Bar. Many of the restaurants are also bars – Jimmy's (spectacular stock of tequila), for example. The J-bar of the Jerome hotel dates back to 1889 and has a traditional feel ('great place to stop for a pre-dinner drink or two'). Aspen Billiards adjoining the fashionable Cigar Bar is an upscale venue for playing pool. The local microbrewery, The Aspen Brewing Company, is in the centre of Aspen.
For music and dancing, head for Belly Up ('good selection of live music') or the Regal Watering Hole. Or you can get a week's membership of the famous Caribou club.
Off the slopes
Silver service
Aspen has lots to offer, especially if your credit card is in good shape. There are literally dozens of art galleries, as well as the predictable clothes and jewellery shops. There are plenty of shops selling affordable stuff. And 'one of the best bookshops I have ever seen', says a 2013 visitor. Glenwood Springs is worth a visit for its hot-spring outdoor pool. The Aspen Recreation Center at Highlands has a huge swimming complex and an indoor ice rink. Hot-air ballooning is possible. Some mountain restaurants are accessible to pedestrians.

My gorgeous lilies from the past couple years did absolutely fine until this winter. I had lined the bed with hardware cloth and all around. I did not, however, have a top. I figured the buggers weren't going to climb up and over if they found my bed. After the snow melted I found lots of holes down in the bed plus something had pulled bulbs out and methodically chewed each one, leaving a pile of scales next to the bed. I don't know which culprit *that* is. Any ideas?
I have new lilies on order and I figure I have to put them in cages. But I'm not sure about the gauge since some of these lilies have really thick stalks! Will the stems get through the opening and yet keep the voles from getting inside the cage? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've never used cages to protect my lilies, but some of my Orienpets have up to 1.5" diameter stalks. I guess it is more than enough for voles to get into the cage. Have you tried repellent? I treat my bulbs with Bonide Bulb Dust. It also acts as an insecticide and bulb rot control. |
That's what I'm worried about--those monster stalks! No, I haven't tried Bonide products. It looks like that is more for insect or fungal stuff. |
It also acts as a repellent. It contains Cedar Oil, Garlic Powder and Dried Blood as the active ingredients. ingredients. The manual says: Grow healthy bulbs resistant to insect, desease and rodent depredation. BTW, did we buy Epimediums from Naylor Creek together a couple of years ago?? |

Explore everywhere (that your allowed). Take your time at each pavillion. This is a "Must Do".
Hello everyone!
As i'm sure you're all aware, the EPCOT food and wine festival is just around the corner! With that being the case, i'm noticing a new upswing in interest for what I consider my favorite park.
What is something that you consider a "Must Do" when you visit Epcot? This can be something like riding your favorite attraction, grabbing a drink at Club Cool, or maybe even a special event item or experience that you can only do during Food and Wine or Christmas or anything else!
Well everyone, i'm excited to see what you all have to say!
Explore everywhere (that your allowed). Take your time at each pavillion. This is a "Must Do".
Spaceship Earth, Test Track, Soarin', and the Mexico pavilion.
A must do for me is to make it to Club Cool, and drink as much free soda as I can before getting sick!
I love the watermelon soda, and the lemon soda, and love tricking people into drinking the one from Italy that isn't too good! lol
I love Soarin'! Definitely a must-do!
During F&W, we like to do drinking- or desserts-around-the-world. So glad we're going to be there twice during this year's festival!
And we always have to end the day with a ride on Spaceship Earth. There's something magical about that ride at night.
Epcot is my favorite park, too! I know I'll be glad to see it in January when I'm finishing up my first marathon!
This is my family. I found it, all on my own. Is little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good .-
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing- Walt Disney
There is no one on the planet to compare with moi.- Miss Piggy
TEN Trips... And counting!
Attractions: Soarin, Spaceship Earth, Test Track, Living Seas (it's still a good aquarium), Test Track, Maelstrom, catch Off Kilter if you can
Food/drink: a beer in Germany (can be hit or miss, really do it just for the oompah music), Werthers store for a chocolate caramel prestzel stick, for a meal Tepan Edo, Marakesh, Nine Dragons
Things to do: There used to be a trivia question in the shop at the US pavilion (written on the board behind the counter)
Being parted from your money: Browse at Mouse Gear

Our Highly Trained Experts Are Always Prepared To "Assist" You.
you must have dinner at WS somewhere before watching illuminations
I use to have dinner at bistro de paris every time and watched the fireworks out of the window, so now i need a new spot at least during the refurb! I think a must do for me is to go on spaceship earth and look backwards as you go backwards down the end of the ride. I know it's strange but I've always done that since I was a kid. Looks a lot different now though! lol
For me its: Test Track, Spaceship Earth, Mission Space oh and defiantly have to eat in Italy :yummy: Next trip a big must do for me is take my time and really discover world showcase
That's a great list! My list has those as well as Soarin', and Maelstrom.
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
Oh, somehow forgot about Spaceship Earth.
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
Definitely Test Track, Spaceship Earth, and Soarin' Once in the WS it's hard to pick a "Must do" it's all just that!
Don't frown because it's over, Smile because it happened.
I know I may stand alone on this one, but my favorite ride of all of WDW is Living With The Land, to me it totally sums up WDW. Educational, interesting, and fun, and it's great reminder that there is more to the parks than the fun we have. There is groundbreaking research going on all over. That's what makes the world so much more than a theme park, especially EPCOT.
"The Mad cannot Explain, Just As The Sane Cannot Comprehend"
Our only must on any trip is to have fun. If my kids want to spend the day colouring Duffy's on a stick, then go for it.
Our favourites at Epcot are Figment, Living with the Land and Innovations, and we love pretty much all restaurants, especially teh ones in teh Epcot resorts.
Food and Wine Festival is a MUST! my husband wears his shirt "let's drink and make bad choices"..... gets lots of laughs... but fun.... Epcot is a great spot for adults and my fav for the history and geography. Tried teaching it to my kiddos but they lose interest without rides.... which we throw in.... as well as snacks..... love the music and the F&W kiosks...

The Orlando Magic were able to defeat the New Jersey Nets by the score of 95-85 to extend their winning streak to five games. This was a game where the margin of victory shouldn't have been as close as it was for the Magic, but they were able to come away with a victory and that's all that matters for them. The Nets were without their star point guard, Deron Williams, given that he's nursing a sore wrist that has kept him out of action recently. That put a lot of pressure on players like Jordan Farmar to perform in Williams' absence and even though he played relatively well, it was clear New Jersey was missing their best player. Orlando was led by a balanced attack, as five players scored in double-figures. Dwight Howard finished with 21 points, 14 rebounds, two steals, and three blocks, putting up another dominating performance, but five turnovers and 11 missed free throws hurt the Magic at times. Still, Howard was great and played as expected. Hedo Turkoglu was marvelous, contributing with 20 points and 13 assists. Granted, it was against the Nets but these are the types of outings Orlando needs from Turkoglu — he can't be just a distributor, he needs to be a playmaker as well. Jason Richardson had 15 points. Ryan Anderson chipped in with 15 points, nine rebounds, and two steals while Brandon Bass had 14 points. Of note for the Magic, Jameer Nelson did not play in the second half due to a sprained left knee and it's unknown how long he'll be out, if anything.
Losing Nelson hurt for Orlando because his replacements at point guard, Chris Duhon and Gilbert Arenas, were awful. Duhon and Gilbert combined to shoot 3-of-19 from the field, doing everything humanly possible not to make a shot. It was a terrible display from both players, especially Arenas. Granted, Arenas had plenty of good looks from the perimeter and had some drives to the basket that he was unable to finish due to poor luck, like the basketball rimming out. But this is the Arenas that frightens the Magic because when he's not contributing anything to the offense, he has no value on the court. It seems inevitable that Orlando is going to have to deal with Arenas playing this poorly in the playoffs, but the hope is that those occurrences happen once or twice during the postseason. If not, then that puts more pressure on other players to pick up the slack offensively.
As for Duhon, he simply doesn't belong on the floor. Duhon is such a non-threat to score the basketball that it undermines the little value he has on defense. New Jersey, just like every other team in the NBA, dared Duhon to shoot and he only did when there was no other option. A poor display from a bad player.
But there was some bright spots for the Magic.
The combination of Bass and Anderson provided Orlando with plenty of firepower on offense at the power forward position. Bass and Anderson combined for 29 points, each of them scoring in their own unique ways. Bass got off to a quick start in the first quarter, scoring 11 points and being aided by Kris Humphries' inability to keep track of him on defense. Bass got plenty of open looks for jumpers or dunks, and he was able to take advantage. Anderson, on the other hand, torched the Nets on the perimeter, connecting on five three-pointers and providing the spacing as a stretch four that has become commonplace for the Magic in recent years.
Lastly, Turkoglu was fantastic. With Nelson out, Orlando — like in 2009 — heavily relied in Turkoglu to guide the offense and he was able to do so.
In the fourth quarter and with the game still in the balance, the Magic ran 3/5 pick and rolls with Turkoglu and Howard on nearly every possession. The results were devastating, as Turkoglu was able to knock down shots from the perimeter and when he wasn't looking for his shot, he was able to feed Howard for alley-oop dunks that are nearly unguardable. If Orlando wants to advance deep in the playoffs and do damage, this is the play that they need to rely on.
The 3/5 pick and roll with Turkoglu and Howard is a key to the Magic's success.

Ok... it's been a while since I switched my avatar here from a still picture to the one I currently have. So I decide it's time to update.
After spending countless hours editing each frame to get it the way that I want it and then animating it, I try to upload. DeviantArt decides it doesn't like to be "fat" and wants the thing to be under 15KB... the one I want to upload is 290KB. Seriously DevArt?
I'll have to deal with this later because right now I need to be in bed. I mean, it's only 3 in the morning (central mountain time, mind you)
EDIT: FINALLY! I'm happy now... found out the reason it was so big... still had each frame saved as the file I was working under. Had to go back and redo a few frames (tried with the old frames and... it looked really static aside from the body movement)
I'll still be trying to edit it to what I really want but for now, this'll do. ^_^

Gary Robert Rossington (born December 4, 1951, Jacksonville, Florida, United States) is an American musician, best known as a founding member of Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. He plays lead and rhythm guitar. He is also a founding member of The Rossington-Collins Band along with former Lynyrd Skynyrd bandmate, Allen Collins.[1] Rossington is the last original member still with the band as of 2014.
His mother Berniece (for whom the song by Lynyrd Skynyrd is named for as a tribute by Rossington) recalled that Gary had a childhood interest in baseball and aspired to become a New York Yankee and Gary recalling that he was a "good ball player" until he heard The Rolling Stones and gave up his baseball career.[2] Rossington formed the band "The Noble Five" as a teenager with friends Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Larry Junstrom and Bob Burns in the summer of 1964. They would later change the name of the band to "The One Percent" before becoming Lynyrd Skynyrd. Skynyrd gained national exposure starting in 1973 with the release of their first album (pronounced 'lĕh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd) and hit single "Free Bird".
Rossington's instrument of choice was a 1959 Gibson Les Paul that he purchased from a woman whose boyfriend had left her and left behind his guitar. He named it "Berneice" in honor of his mother whom he was close to. Rossington has played lead guitar on "Tuesday's Gone" and the slide guitar for "Free Bird". Along with Collins, Rossington also provided the guitar work for "Simple Man".
On Labor Day weekend in 1976, Rossington and fellow Skynyrd guitarist Allen Collins were both involved in separate auto accidents in their hometown of Jacksonville. Rossington had just bought a new Ford Torino, and hit an oak tree while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The band was due to go on tour in a couple of days, but had to postpone this tour due to Rossington's accident. The band members were not at all pleased with Rossington, and fined him $5000 for the delay caused to the band's schedule. Van Zant and Collins wrote the song "That Smell" based on the wreck, and Rossington's state of influence from drugs and alcohol at the time. "Whiskey bottles and brand new cars, oak tree you're in my way. There's too much coke and too much smoke."
Rossington was one of six band members who survived the October 20, 1977, plane crash near Gillsburg, Mississippi, that took the lives of Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, and three others. Despite breaking both arms, both legs, both wrists, both ankles and his pelvis, Rossington would eventually recover from his injuries and play on stage again (albeit with steel rods in his right arm and one of his legs). He battled with serious drug addiction throughout the next several years, partially as a result of his heavy dependence on medication taken during his recovery from the plane crash.
Rossington co-founded The Rossington-Collins Band with Collins in 1980. The band released two albums, but disbanded in 1982 after the death of Collins' wife, Kathy.
Rossington still plays in the current Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup. With the death of keyboardist, Billy Powell, on January 28, 2009, Rossington is now remains the last original band member left in the reformed band.
Gary Rossington and Dale Krantz-Rossington have had two daughters, Mary and Annie. Their side project, the Rossington Band, opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd during its 1987-88 reunion tour. The Rossington Band released the following albums: Returned to the Scene of the Crime, 1986 and Love Your Man in 1988.
He has experienced a heart problem in the past which was successfully addressed via surgery, but he occasionally experiences pain in his legs severe enough to force him to miss shows; this is a recurring ailment resulting from the 1977 plane crash.[citation needed]
Rossington is an avid fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He recorded a video, along with remaining members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, that is played at every Jaguars home game on the Everbank Field video board.
Rossington has used Gibson Les Pauls and a Gibson SG throughout his career. He is mostly seen playing a Les Paul in sunburst finish, but he can be seen playing a red SG with tremolo for the song Free Bird. He also uses a black finish Les Paul.
Rossington was also an avid user of Peavey amplifiers, using their Mace combo amps, with the stock speakers replaced with JBL D120 speakers, during the recording of Gimme Back My Bullets up until the 2000s when he began using the Triple XXX and Penta heads. He eventually got his own signature amp in 2009, the Peavey Penta Gary Rossington signature head.
Prior to his Peavey endorsement, Rossington would use Fender Twins and Fender Super Reverbs loaded with Jensen speakers, Marshall Plexis with speaker cabinets loaded with Celestion Greenbacks, and Hiwatt amps with speaker cabinets loaded with Fane speakers.

The Harrison County Fire Department received one of two new fire trucks Monday afternoon at the Oddville station. With a price tag of $176,727, the truck is the first fire truck purchased since 1998. The truck was purchased by the county's special tax district fund. "We're hoping that this will help us improve our ISO testing," said firefighter James McCarty. An improved ISO rating would possibly help homeowners lower insurance costs, McCarty said. The new fire truck will be responding to runs by the end of March, said fire chief Charlie Carson.

I mentioned to my contractor that I'd like to have a small tv in my kitchen and he suggested I explore wireless options for the cable so I don't have to retro-fit a cable somewhere (I did t think of it earlier). He isnt into technology, but said he has heard that you can have a tv in one room and the cable box in another and it's all wireless. Does anyone have this or know more about it? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are a few ways to do this. Tivo has one option: Slingbox has another approach, but I don't think it's as good because the TV show itself isn't streamed but the entire user interface of your cable box -- it requires higher bandwidth and won't be as high quality. If you don't need live TV, you can use something like Apple TV or Roku and use Internet services (like Netflix) only. Unless it's extremely difficult to get access into your kitchen, I think it would be better just to run an additional cable outlet. You'll get better quality that way. Even with the wireless approaches, you still need to deal with other cables (e.g. HDMI) in the setup. |
This post was edited by calumin on Sun, Jul 21, 13 at 19:06
Actually, to my post above it looks like Tivo Mini requires a wired Ethernet connection to get the signal. It does eliminate the issue of getting the coax cable into the kitchen, but you might not be setup for wired Ethernet either. At some point, the cable providers like Comcast are going to enable their cable services directly over wireless (meaning never going through your cable line). Comcast has an app called XFinity which you can use on a tablet to view cable content. I don't think it is available yet on Apple TV / Roku / Xbox yet, but that will probably happen at some point in the future. |
In Canada, Bell Fibe is wireless... commercials for it are running all the time here (linked below). If it's available from main carriers up here I'm sure the US carriers must have it too. I would check with one of the major fibe providers in your area. If you just want to avoid the PVR or receiver, but are okay with the coax cable itself, then you can buy a dual-zone PVR which runs two separate channels. We have that for a TV that we wall-mounted in our ensuite bath so that we didn't have to worry about mounting a separate pvr there. |

My daughter has wireless cable for tv in her house. In this area it is provided by AT&T. Below is a link that explains it. The link has a vidoe to show how it is set up. You would need to see if your local phone company provides such an option |
Here is a link that might be useful: wireless tv
If you need a wired ethernet port, I have used a Netgear device that provides ethernet over powerline reliably for several years with a Roku box for Netflix and Amazon Video. Once every blue moon I'll see a 'buffering' message. The version I have is a back level of this one: Looks like there are a lot more choice now. I'd recommend this over pure wireless, especially right at this moment. (I'm not buying any more wireless stuff unless it is 802.11 ac compatible). Plus less risk of speed variances. http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/802-11ac-vs-802-11n-what-s-the-difference When I buy a new ac router, which I'll do when I upgrade my laptop to an AC-compatible one, I will read this site's reviews thoroughly: |

I bought a Belkin @TV Plus - Mobile Television Anywhere. It was inexpensive (around 100 on Ebay) and it is totally wireless. It comes with a free app for Ipad and even loaded it on the Kindle Fire. I have a touchscreen MSI all-in-one computer that can be moved from place to place. This works very well with my dual band router and very fast internet connection. |

The speculoos spice mix is a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, white pepper, cardamom and star anise. I've seen a couple of other recipes and the one thing they have in common is that cinnamon is the dominant spice whilst the other spices can be adjusted to suit personal tastes. There are range of savoury and sweet dishes in the book using the spice mix, I've tried one recipe for a savoury carrot and parsnip crumble, using crushed speculoos biscuits, and it worked really well although I forgot to take photos. I've also made the biscuits although I didn't think they were quite spicy enough so I used a higher proportion of spice mix for this shortbread recipe. I do like the fact that dark brown sugar is used in both the original recipe and my adaptation as I think it makes the biscuits taste more indulgent as the sugar adds an extra depth of flavour. I have to confesss that I am now completely hooked on this combination of spices and it will probably be appearing in a few recipes in the future. I've already experimented by trying it in chocolate cake and fruit cake with good results, again no photos as they've been eaten too quickly. They are both recipes that will be tweaked before ending up on here at some point though. I'm also going try out some more of the savoury recipes from the book including poulet farci en cocotte quetsches et spéculoos roughly translated as stuffed chicken casserole with plums and speculoos, saumon poché au lait créme de spéculoos salmon poached in milk with speculoos cream, and papillote de cabillaud beurre de spéculoos aux cranberries cod cooked in paper with cranberry speculoos butter. It might take me a while to get round to making these but I will report back on my efforts eventually.
For the spice mix I adapted the quantities slightly as the French convention is to measure ingredients using coffee spoons and soup spoons, both of which are slightly smaller than UK teaspoon and tablespoon measures. I've used the standard 5ml teaspoon and 15ml tablespoon measures here so the spices are still in the same proportions. This recipe will yield just under 4 tablespoons of the spice mix. If you have trouble finding some of the spices in the shops they can be bought online, I quite often buy spices via various merchants on ebay, usually whoever has the best price and the cheapest postage.
Speculoos spice mix
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp ground star anise
Mix all the spices together in a bowl, enjoy the heady aroma and then pour into a clean glass jar.
Speculoos shortbread - makes 12 + depending on cutter size, I used a medium size butterfly cutter.
150g plain flour
100g butter
50g soft dark brown sugar
2 tsp speculoos spice mix
Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray. Put all of the ingredients in a food processor on medium speed and process until clumps of dough start to form. Turn off the machine and bring the rest of the dough together by hand. Roll out on a lightly floured work surface to around 5mm thick and use cookie cutters in any shape you like to cut out biscuits and transfer them to the tray, they will be fragile so take care when handling. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden, leave to rest on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
I'm entering these into Made With Love Mondays and also into The Spice Trail challenge where the chosen spice is cinnamon.

From BSALegal.org:
A panel of leading constitutional scholars, including Dean Kenneth Starr, will debate "The Constitution and The Boy Scouts: Equal Access to Government Land and the First Amendment,†on Wednesday, May 18 from noon to 2 p.m. Pacific TimeThe public and the media are invited to attend the program or to watch and participate in the Internet. For those attending in person, lunch will be served free of charge.
The program is sponsored by the Federalist Society on Law and Public Policy and will be held at the Wyndham Hotel at Emerald Plaza 400 West Broadway, San Diego, CA, in the Crystal Ballroom. If you want to attend in person, you are asked to register for the event by calling (202) 822-8138 or by sending an email to email@example.com
Specific cases affecting the Boy Scouts will be discussed, as well as the constitutional rights of charities to have access to public forums and government property.
The 90-minute program will be webcast live from San Diego, California, the site of important litigation between the ACLU and Boy Scouts of America. A panel of leading constitutional scholars will debate the issues from both the pro-ACLU and pro-Boy Scout perspectives:
Professor Vikram Amar, University of California Hastings College of Law
Professor Alan Brownstein, University of California Davis School of Law
George Davidson, Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, BSA National Counsel
Professor John Eastman, Chapman University School of Law
Dean Kenneth Starr, Pepperdine University School of Law
Dean Daniel Rodriguez, University of San Diego Law School (moderator)After the Supreme Court's decision in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, holding that Boy Scouts have the right to decide leadership standards based on observance of the Scout Oath and Law, the ACLU argues that leases of parkland to Boy Scouts by the City of San Diego are unconstitutional. The Boy Scouts argue, on the other hand, that it would be unconstitutional for the City to refuse to lease to the Boy Scouts when it has more than 100 leases to other non-profit groups on similar terms. (For more background on the San Diego case, please visit BSA's legal issues website www.bsalegal.org )
The 90-minute webcast begins live promptly at 12:30 p.m. Pacific time (1:30 p.m. Mountain, 2:30 p.m. Central, 3:30 p.m. Eastern). You will be able to send questions to the panelists during the program. To access the webcast, open your browser and go to this URL: http://www.vcnetcast.com/fed. You will need high-speed Internet access and either Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.
To send questions to the panel during the program, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com Questions may be edited for length and clarity or condensed from several similar questions. If you do not want the moderator to say your name when asking the question, please say so in your email.
We hope that you will log on, watch, and participate in this important debate.

Over the weekend, our friend Steven Slate of Slate Digital, one of the most epic minds in analog modelling & drums, had to get a 200GB file to Russia and he had to get it there FAST!
There was only one way to get his files there and that was Gobbler.
Friday afternoon, Sir Steven dropped in the office and sent the super massive file via his Gobbler account and by the next morning the file was downloaded in Russia.
"The transfer was crazy fast: I usually have to send drives. Gobbler f&$cking rules!" -Steven Slate
There's no file size limitation with Gobbler and if you haven't used Gobbler to collaborate or transfer files, check out this video to give it a whirl.

Cultural beliefs affect patients' perceptions of quality of life
Wellbeing and concordance
A recent study shows that cultural beliefs may influence patients' ability to manage their own wounds and assess their own health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
The Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule (CWIS), a questionnaire that assists clinicians with assessing HRQol in chronic wound cases, was used in this study to evaluate patients' cultural beliefs in Australia and the UK. Across all question domains, Australian patients gave an overall higher score in relation to cultural factors that can influence HRQol. Factors such as societal stigma, physical appearance, language barriers, societal/religious beliefs and expectation of expressing emotion were all taken into consideration.
More on this subject will be explored in the future, and will take into account the influences of ethnicity, clinical environment and multiethnic societies.

...and I really enjoyed it. If you haven't come across matcha before, it's a powdered tea made from ground organic green tea leaves and until quite recently it was only available in Japan. Unlike other teas which are infused in hot water, with matcha you drink the whole leaf meaning that you get an extra boost of the healthy properties associated with green tea. Matcha is reported to have 70 times the level of antioxidants of orange juice (good for me as I don't like oranges) and gives you a longer energy boost than regular caffeinated drinks, lasting from 4-6 hours. It is also claimed that drinking matcha can aid weight loss as it gives the metabolism a boost. So with all this in mind I set off on my matcha challenge to drink it every day for 2 weeks to see if I noticed any benefits.
First of all I'm sure you all want to know what it tastes like, essentially it tastes like a very green version of green tea, you can certainly tell that you're drinking a powdered leaf but it's not an unpleasant taste, though it is a little bitter if you make it too strong. I quite liked it but I am a green tea drinker anyway especially first thing in the morning, I can't function without a big mug of green tea with my breakfast. I was sent a matcha starter kit from teapigs which included a shot glass, a small spoon (equivalent to 1/2 tsp) a tin of matcha and an electric hand held whisk. The team at teapigs are fans of the matcha shot as a quick energy boost. I couldn't manage this first thing in the morning as I prefer a longer drink to wake me up so I added my daily spoonful of matcha to a mug of hot water and gave it whizz with the whisk. I did try having a matcha shot for a quick afternoon boost a few times at the weekends when I didn't have matcha in the morning and it did work but I still prefer taking the time to drink a mug of tea instead.
For the past few weeks I've been working as a temp doing standard office hours which involves a commute and I am not a morning person at all. The many years spent as a student being able to dictate my working hours hasn't helped this. I did find that by swapping my normal tea for matcha that I was able to cope with the early starts and I was far less grumpy. I still felt the need for coffee by the time I got to work but I drank less coffee during the day than I did before I started drinking matcha. This was definitely a bonus for me as I find that drinking more than 2 coffees a day can make me feel a bit squiffy.
I found that unlike drinking a strong coffee for a caffeine boost which can leave me feeling a bit buzzy and spaced out, the matcha seemed to have gentler effect and I felt more naturally alert and able to concentrate better. I have also lost a few pounds recently but I can't say whether that is just due to the matcha as I have also been more active recently. Normally I would work at home on my thesis for 3-5 days a week (the other days in uni) with unlimited access to the biscuit tin. However as I've been going to work instead for the past few weeks I've been moving more and doing less mindless scoffing.
Overall I would say that I have felt like I have had a little bit more energy whilst drinking matcha which has been essential during the recent busy period I've had. Fortunately things are calming down a bit more now and I will no longer need to do the commute. My only criticism of the matcha is that they didn't send me a big enough pot. I've been converted and now I want to drink it more often as I like the taste and I have seen that you can bake with it though I didn't get chance to try that.
If you would like to try matcha for yourself or anything else from teapigs, they have very kindly offered a 10% discount code for all Blue Kitchen Bakes readers valid until the end of June. Just enter blue at the checkout (excludes cheeky, bulk buys, pick & mix and matcha kits).
Thanks to teapigs for sending me a matcha kit. All views and opinions are my own.

I just love your chalkboard paint plate! I'm a huge fan of that Krylon chalkboard spray paint too …
Thanks so much for sharing at our spray paint link party my friend!
I am admittedly a DIY moron. I tried this with a plate, used painter's tape and so on just like the tutorial, etc. When I removed the tape I was dismayed to see that the edge of the (now) black inner circle was not smooth and crisp. Any ideas or tips?

Tuesday at the Table
I'm expecting each to be just a tad different in their block arrangement, though all with the same number of 3 1/2", 6 1/2", and 9 1/2" blocks. I'm using my favorite emerald, black, and white geometric prints, along with a variety of solids, which I'll describe better farther down the line.
Quilting design is still TBD, so feel free to share your thoughts. And as I continue piecing, if you have something to link up, you can do it here!

If this was mine to quilt, I think I'd be inclined to quilt straight lines. There's so much going on in the prints that lines would settle the eye a bit. Stitch lines in different directions-at angles other than those formed by the lines of the crosses. Oh! And how about quilting "strings of pearls" in the crosses? That would be a good contrast to the lines. Ooo. Now I do want to quilt this myself!

I recently received a K2 Cheyenne from my aunt for a present, but when I looked for it online I did not see any information for it anywhere. Anyways, I am able to return this bike to the department store and get cash back for it in which I can buy another bike from somewhere else. I was actually not really looking to spend much more than 350 on the bike (K2 was bought for 200) so I was looking at the '04 Giant Rincon and '04 Trek 4300? Is it worth returning my K2 or should I get another bike? The Trek is $319 and the Giant is $339. Any other bikes I should look at? Btw, I am a newbie rider looking to get into biking. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

I have two very different hardy perennial hibiscuses and I would like to know the difference. On the white one, each branch grows directly from the ground. The red one has 2 or 3 central trunks from which other branches sprout. They are both wonderful specimens I just don't know if I should be treating them differently. |

Look at the leaves. The red one appears to be some type or variation of Hibiscus coccineus or red Texas star. These often have leaves which resemble marijuana. In fact there is one hibiscus which is named hibiscus cannabis and the leaves look exactly like marijuana. If you will note the white hibiscus, the leaves are lance shaped. These are just two different kinds, kissing cousins. Your plants look very healthy and the blooms are beautiful. Be sure to save the seeds and plant them when the ground is VERY WARM IN SPRING. If you have a greenhouse, plant the seeds in a tray and put them in the greenhouse when conditiona are HOT. Keep watered. I potted up almost 400 plants (130 pots) from seeds this year. |

I did notice the difference in the leaves and that they did resemble marijuana. Both of these plants are only 2 years old (well at least thats how long they have been in my yard.) I am thinking about trying to cut back the red one as it is smacking people walking down the side walk. I have a feeling I will have plenty of plants around my yard! |

the red one is a Lord Baltimore...it has more slender, pointy leves. It tends to grow taller and is "leggier" than the white.I have the LB hib and my grandmother has the white one..and the white is a little clumpier.Hers is growing out of control! The white looks like a disco belle variety. I have that one in the back of my house, neither are doing so well this year:'( You should treat them the same, although my grandmother is 95 and can't water hers and it's stunning!My mom pours a milk bottle full of h2o on it every once in a blue moon! |
- Posted by nurse_nikki (My Page) on Tue, Jul 31, 07 at 15:18
I have noticed that mine do much better without much watering. My red one hardly ever gets water (other than rainfall.) I made a point to water the white one a couple times in the last 2 weeks and it is not doing as well as the red one. |
- Posted by gardengirlz2 7 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 31, 07 at 22:16
Unfortunately, I had neglected my plants a bit with my work schedule.I have been watering them and they now have bigger buds every day and look much healthier. I really think that these plants need a "perfect" spot. I'm so sorry I didn't have my camera on Sunday when I visited my grandmother...hers has sooooo many big, beautiful blooms:00) |

the red one is Hibiscus cannabinus. Answered years later if your interested... |

text: I agree, if more people understood that confession is not about admitting our sins, but receiving the beautiful gift of grace and forgiveness, I believe people would run to the confessionals. Now a days, priest don't spend a lot of time in the confessional because they end up being there and only hearing one or two confessions. Not that that one or two confessions were worth it, but if people were more excited about receiving the sacrament then the need for a longer confessional appointment would be needed.

Well, it was easy to make. But otherwise it was awful. The Greek Yoghurt made it feel slimy and the dill made it green. So if you're into overly salty green dip that has a slimy mouth feel then this is the recipe for you.
This recipe didn't work out well. The dill gave the mix a pale green cast. The feta made it too salty and I find the so-called "Greek Yoghurt" to have a slimy feel, even though it has no fat. I recommend you don't bother with this recipe even though it's very easy to make.

It is reassuring that the authors are not rushing to make exaggerated claims; as they point out there could be a natural origin for the marks (teeth or claw marks of a predator, for example) or for some reason the C14 dates could be uncertain. Examination of Ice Age drowned sites along the Pacific coast of N and S America (technically possible but extremely costly) could help considerably in determining how early homo sapiens reached the new world.

Published November 20, 2013
When did people get to the Americas? The answer remains a subject of fiery debate.
Most scientists agree that humans began arriving in the Americas between 13,000 and 15,000 years ago, and the Clovis people of North and Central America are generally considered the "first Americans."
But new fossil evidence from a streambed in southern Uruguay could challenge such theories.
Results published November 19 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B suggest the presence at the site of human hunters who may have killed giant sloths and other megafauna. That itself isn't odd, but the site, called Arroyo del Vizcaíno, has been radiocarbon dated to between 29,000 and 30,000 years old—thousands of years before people were thought to be there. (Also see "Photos: Speared Mastodon Bone Hints at Earlier Americans.")
"That's pretty old for a site that has evidence of human presence, particularly in South America," said study co-author Richard Fariña, a paleontologist at Uruguay's Universidad de la República.
"So, it's strange and unexpected."
What's the controversy?
Giant sloths, saber-toothed cats, oversize armadillos, and other large mammals once roamed the Americas—a diversity that would easily rival an African savannah today. (Watch a saber-toothed cat video.)
But by 11,000 years ago, many of the species had disappeared, likely due to climate change or the arrival of human hunters in the New World. But when exactly humans got here, and how they arrived, remains unknown.
What's new?
In 1997, severe drought forced local farmers to drain a lagoon in Arroyo del Vizcaíno, which exposed a mysterious bed of gigantic bones.
After a series of bureaucratic roadblocks, paleontologists excavated the site in 2011 and 2012, unearthing over a thousand fossils. "From the paleontological point of view, that is absolutely marvelous in itself," Fariña said.
Many of the bones belong to three extinct ground sloth species, mainly Lestodon armatus. Weighing in at up to four tons, the animals "were the size of smallish elephants," he said.
Fossils from other common South American megafauna turned up in the mud as well: three species of glyptodonts, or armadillo ancestors; a hippo-like animal called a toxodon, which has no living relatives; a South American saber-toothed cat (Smilodon populator); and an elephant-like stegomastodon, among others. (Learn more about extinct animals that could possibly be revived.)
Some of the bones bear telltale markings of human tools, which suggests the animals were hunted for food. The team also found a potentially human-made scraper that could have been used on dry animal hides, and stone flakes.
Why is it important?
Clues from the site point to a human presence at Arroyo del Vizcaíno much earlier than accepted theories of migration. Fariña and his team are both excited and cautious about their results.
Fariña said the strength of the new evidence lies in the team's methodology and the fact that two of the bones they tested for dating also bore markings similar to those made by human tools. "The association can't be closer than it is," he said.
The date of Arroyo del Vizcaíno may make some archaeologists cringe: South America's earliest human settlement at Monte Verde in Chile dates to only 14,000 years ago. (Also see "Clovis People Not First Americans, Study Shows.")
What does this mean?
The study certainly does not prove definitively that humans were killing giant sloths 30,000 years ago in South America.
The fossils found at Arroyo del Vizcaíno might simply be a product of nature mimicking human tools, and the authors acknowledge that possibility.
"South America played an exceptionally important role in the peopling of the Americas, and I'm pretty sure we have some significant surprises waiting for us," Bonnie Pitblado, an archaeologist at the University of Oklahoma who was not associated with the study, said in an email. (Read a National Geographic magazine story on the peopling of the Americas.)
"Maybe people killing sloths at [the Arroyo del Vizcaíno site] 30,000 years ago is one of them, maybe it's not—but it certainly isn't going to hurt to have it on our collective radar screen as we continue to contemplate the peopling of the New World."
What's next?
The Uruguayan team has further excavations and environmental reconstruction studies planned for the site.
Fariña estimates that it could yield a thousand more bones, and they plan to build a local museum to house the site's many fossils.

It's not that you shouldn't take time off. It's just that you should try and be a little more particular about your reasons, especially if your employer is experiencing cutbacks. Don't call in sick for a hangover, or plan any long, extravagant vacations (at least until the waters settle).

Many events in my life can best be described by this word. Like when I suddenly truly felt Lee University was the school for me.
Like when after two months of searching I was suddenly offered a position at the Cleveland Daily Banner.
But those events are in the past.
Suddenly deals with the present. It holds excitement of the future that a climax is seconds away.
Suddenly, I am no longer Joyanna Weber.
Suddenly, I am Joyanna Love.
I have told many people in leading up to this moment that I believe I have the best name ever. My husband, Jeremy, is quick to agree.
The thing about suddenly is there is usually a back story. One I'm sure at least some readers are interested in hearing. Don't worry, I will spare you the romantic details.
(The irony of this column is that because of deadline and print times I am writing it before my suddenly moment.)
Whenever I tell this story, I always ask myself where to start. This time I will start with Jeremy, a truly amazing man. (And yes, he knows his name will be in my column this week.)
He has an amazing smile and loves me more than I thought was possible of a human being.
I have learned so much from Jeremy that I treasure and would not trade for anything. He has been there for me when I didn't think I could face the situation that lay ahead.
Of course, he also knows half of Cleveland, so many of you already know how great he is.
Our journey to suddenly being the Love couple is full of little suddenlys. Like when he suddenly showed up at my church. When he suddenly started sitting next to me.
The biggest one of all came last August, when he pulled out a ring and asked if I would spend the rest of my life with him.
As already evidenced by this column, I said yes.
We met through mutual friends.
My mom and a friend at church claim dual credit for praying him into my life.
I found out he liked me on Jan. 1, 2012, and by March we both knew we were more than friends. We just weren't sure what to call this in-between thing. So we gave it a name, and started spending more time together.
Then one day I suddenly said, "Can I just call you my boyfriend?"
And the rest, as they say, is history.
My journey toward being Mrs. Love (that looks so cool!) has come with a lot of growth and realization.
Such as realizing I would suddenly be a pastor's wife.
Jeremy is the youth pastor at our church. I have enjoyed working with him in this.
I feel like I've changed so much from the person I was Jan. 1, 2012 , but it's been for the better.
Suddenly is a climax, but it reflects a lot of work. The suddenly of Mrs. Love required eight hours of premarital counseling (it offers a nice discount for the marriage license), multiple dress alterations, planning, song selection, photographers, budgeting, shopping, invitations, flowers, thank you cards and maintaining enough concentration to still work 40 hours week.
In literary terms in a classic story diagram, there is a falling action following the climax, just before the end or "the happily ever after."
It's a time of no suddenlys, no surprises. It is a time of resolution and tying up loose ends.
In fairy tales, peace is often restored to a once-chaotic kingdom. And this is how I see the remainder of our wedding after the "I do's" to be.
A sense of peace, of that we finally reached the moment we had been waiting nearly a year for.
So, I will linger in the falling action of "my happily ever after" until another suddenly starts us off on another adventure.
A new byline is present in this paper, one that I have dreamed of seeing in print for a while now ... By Joyanna Love ... Banner Staff Writer.
