So, our beach house is really coming together, and except for some long lead times on things like WT, we are almost done. I have a need for three very pedestrian items, but I am not happy just to buy any old thing (an affliction I blame on GW). So, any ideas on good sources for or examples of: 1. Countertop paper towel holders I feel like I have seen really cute or interesting versions of these here and there from time to time, but now that i want to buy them, no dice. Ya got anything? TIA |

Pedestrian purchases, as in "so I went out today and did a little pedestrian purchasing ". I guess that's the same as shopping or *retail* shopping, right? I'm so damn down to earth and hate having to dig out my Roget's Thesarus for an explanation of anything. Maybe I'm just linguistically challenged. No 'mean girls' tactics intended, so please don 't take offense. KISS....keep it simple sistah! |

Mtn means for "commonplace, unimaginative" items. Which should be readily available, but aren't. |
Drawer liners? Organizers? For which rooms? |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 17:41
There's always a way to have an item custom made, whether it be iron, wood, paper, cloth, etc. Artists and craftspeople are everywhere, and if you can come up with a design, or use theirs, you get exactly what you want. Repurposing is another idea. Just because something is made for one thing doesn't mean it can't be used for something else. I made a paper towel holder out of a SS(plated)candlestick, keep utencils in a SS water pitcher, and repurposed a SS teapot into a lamp. You're also creating a one-of- kind item made by you, for you! How great is that? I haven't used store-bought drawer liners for years , but use wallpaper instead. I buy most of it on etsy or ebay because it's sold in small increments, sometimes a single roll vs a double roll(or less),which would be way too much. It's heavier and 'stays put'. Wrapping paper is also good, especially if it 's a thicker paper. |

Patty, You are right. I just feel like I have been places and seen imaginative examples of these items, but had no use at the time. Maybe I can look on Etsy. Wallpaper would drive me batty unless i bought a large enough paper cutter to make it perfectly square! Fun2behere, Some of the bedrooms have a chest of drawers built into the eaves, 110 years ago. I dusted and wiped the drawers out, but I want a liner to give a nice clean smooth surface for guests or to store linens/towels. Exactly, Pal. Patty, but I did keep it simple. I avoided saying "quotidian". : ) Sochi, I do too. But I think I will look on ebay for others, too. I may go a bit kitsch. The breeezes blow the doors shut all over the house so I need several. Best, how cute! Nosoccer, i forgot about the plain white marble; i will probably opt for that. BBB, kind of boring, boring, boring ... but they will have whatever i need, i admit. Joy - that is so cool! Pal - great doorstop, thx! |

Sounds like you are making strides to finish and be able to enjoy the fall in your Maine house. The thrill of the hunt is where I find enjoyment for the types of items you are looking for. As has been suggested, B,B&Beyond or WS are good choices for an counter-top paper towel holder. I found great black and white toile drawer liner at HomeGoods for our Cape house. It's sold by the roll and can be cut to fit. It was exactly what I was looking for and I just happened upon it! Although we don't really "need" door stops, we have them here just for fun. This one is from my childhood summer home in NH. It is an antique iron, which was used on the Coleman "pot-belly" stove in a bygone era. We have a few of these: |

I like anchors for door stops at the beach, just seems to make sense, but there are several anchor designs to pick from, so google away! Paper towel holders, I would need to see the finished design of the kitchen. Drawer liners, doesn't matter, you have outstanding taste so what ever you like. |

Mtn'dux, I use a t-square, so the pieces come out perfect! I've been wallpapering for years and it's a trick my Father taught me, along with staining, painting, and general things you would teach a son , but my brother never showed the interest that I did. Go figure. How about spray painting the inside of the old drawers? Especially if they have a musty smell. If not a color, a clear gloss poly. You must have minored, or majored in linguistics. I've never heard that word used. lol |
In our beach house, we have two types of doorstops. 1. Large rocks from the beach. 2. Glass jars with lids (not apothecary jars really, but I'm not sure what you call them. The ones we have are from a fancy shop known as Home Goods. Maybe 10" H x 5" dia., with lids. Filled with beach stones. They work remarkably well. I was also going to suggest wrapping paper as drawer liner. The heavier sheets of wrapping paper from the fancy paper store, versus the rolled type. |
Here's an interesting source for drawer linings. Live link below. http://www.chicshelfpaper.com/home.php |

I lined my kitchen drawers with cork. You can get a roll of plain underlayment cork for a reasonable cost (I'd suggest 1/4 in at most, thinner if you can find it). You will have plenty left over for cork boards, trivets, and anything else you can come up with. |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 9:24
Well, as it turns out, you can get pretty snazzy with paper towel holders: I think I may go with these: They pick up the turquoise of the fridge, have some interest but are not bulky and are cheap enough that I won't feel bad about donating them if I find better... As for doorstops, I need at least 7, so I am having fun on etsy looking for old ones. As for drawer liners, Fun2behere, thank you so, so much! I love the selection ,and that they will cut them, too. I may go a little crazy and do everything! Allison, I love that style although it may be a little bulky for the two spots I want to keep PT. SueB, I admit I love HomeGoods, esp for trendy items that you want to be able to switch out when your tastes change. Love your glass jar idea! Annie cat, those are cute! We should get the Flying Pig as homage to Maine's yummy Flying Pigs bakery. Patty, Lucky you to pick up those skills. Actually I was a Statistics major then Finance. I just like words! Bonnie, Thank goodness we have been able to enjoy it for a while now ... it was in good enough shape to move in early June. We have been spending a week at a time there, every other week, and just love it. |
Cath Kidston has a range of drawer liner papers that might suit linen storage. |

Door stops: petrified rocks, vintage cast iron irons (Grammas), very large conch (honeymoon), small copper coal hod (gift from my mom years ago), basket with Legos inside (bet you can't believe this serves two purposes), an antique cobbler's iron shoe last (my Gramps). Drawer Liner: Back in the day when I hung wallpaper, I had a lot of scrap wallpaper and sometimes scrap means a triple roll, which will line a lot of drawers but I used to wallpaper my bedrooms and use the excess to line the drawers in that room. I used the spray sticky instead of the wallpaper paste. I have a paper towel holder in laundry room that sits on counter and when I roll off paper it plays "Rhapsody in Blue" for about 30 seconds. Got it on Ebay a few years ago. Pulls off at music staff. It gives a whole new meaning to laundry day is blue Monday. |

"Actually I was a Statistics major then Finance" So was my youngest son! Where did you find the PT holders? I have one in almost the same style except it has a little Rooster on top, but I ended up putting it away because when I had an emergency and needed paper towels in a hurry, the holders were a PITA. I like yours better. |
I use cork to line my drawers, it prevents items from shifting around when the drawers are opened and closed. I have bought it at Target and Williams Sonoma. Mackenzie Childs has some cute and whimsical paper towel holders. |
Clever paper towel holders you found. I love the idea of paper towel jars, Allison. I've never seen those. I have a simple plastic holder mounted inside the cabinet door under the sink. I try to use washable cloths rather than paper towels when I can, so they don't need to be out on the counter...well, except when my mother is visiting. She can go through a whole roll in a week, so they have to be handy...lol. |

I also like wallpaper for drawer liners. It works better than any regular liner I've used and I like blackwatch plaid lining the drawers. |
Mtn - I love the paper towel holders you found -- where did you find them? I am actually still using the paper towel holder left here by the previous homeowner, so I think its time for a new one! |

Hi Gail, They are from World Market. LOL, Maire Fun, LOL, Have you tried the rolls with half sheets? It has cut down a bit on PT usage in our house. Jshore, I love cork,but this is for bedrooms mostly. I actually posted a MC PT holder above but it didn't come out. I like the b/w white but it's wrong for my kitchen. Oakley, cool, what does he do? The PT holder is from World Market. LOL, Patricia. Sochi, I like that a lot. KSWL, I am totally into Fun2BeHere's source, since they cut it for you! BTW, I have focussed on Etsy as a source for doorstops. Letting kids pick their own. So far a melange, everything from the knot Pal showed, to a stoneware milkjug in the K, a rusty old retriever for the "dog's room" (PO called it the maid's rm but it's where her bed is, off the K), and some of these: |
Love the rope doorstopper. I think little ones visiting my house would think it was a toy just waiting to be played with though! Allison, is that a soap dispenser behind your faucet? What type of glass container did you use ? I need to decide if I want to use something pretty like that to replace the plastic Dawn bottle or if I should install a built in soap dispenser when we get our new counters. |

Fun2BHere and TheFoxesPad, it's handmade ceramic. A piece of art, and a price tag to match. But DH insisted on keeping a roll on the counter and I wasn't having that. I'd love another one for the laundry room, but can't justify a second. mtnrdredux, I thought it might be a little bulky for your kitchen but thought I'd show you anyway. I love the painted ones you've found! juddgirl2, dish liquid is in a really thick glass wine bottle I purchased at POSH Chicago. The bottom has glass about 2" tall. The description said the bottles are not easily knocked over. Bought a cork olive oil spout for pouring. I've been using a bottle for dish liquid for 20 years. Love. DD2 has my last one, and it has an all plastic spout. Both spouts were purchased at a kitchen shop. I'd since added a very large mason jar for hand soap. |
- Posted by tishtoshnm (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 22:15
Ooooh, a cork spout, that is the answer! Thank you, Allison. i was using a ribbed olive oil bottle (the ribs make it less slippery) but the rubber for the spout got loose and fell into the bottle which was incentive for DH to ignore it and leave the bottle of dish soap on the counter. Now I know how to fix the problem (unfortunately, I also found other bottles to tempt me). |
I need a door stop for every interior door in my house, thanks to Zephyr the cat. He will close the door, shut himself in whatever room (or closet) it happens to be, and howl piteously. Currently I use those awful rubber wedges, but now you all have inspired me to try something else. |
I had a wedding gift to buy and thought this would be a perfect color. I own one of these paper towel holders myself and they are just beautiful, work great and are wonderful highlight to my kitchen. http://papertowel-holder.com/ |

I don't have a paper towel holder, my drawer liner is the waffle-ish kind from Wal-mart. My doorstops are sections of rail...as in the Railroad. DH is a conductor and has brought home all kinds of discards, big springs, metal plates, spikes, and bolts. The rail sections are around 1.5 to 2 inches. Like the link, but not so long of course. Iron and heavy :) |

mtn, I started following Polish Kitchen on Facebook after you posted about them. They are having a sale if you were still thinking of ordering: "Back to school savings start today! Save 20% on your order of $100 or more. Use code Aug20 at checkout. Extra special free shipping for orders over $149!" |
Just catching up on this thread. I never knew I needed a collection of antique doorstops, but I guess I do. Love them. Sadly, my house is so small that I don't have a lot of doors, and those that I do have do not need stopping. They either stay closed or stay open. I bought kitchen drawer liners at Ikea. Rather jejune, if I do say so myself. ;) Mtrd, that first paper towel holder -- the ceramic blue one -- is rather phallic looking. Glad you did not get that. |

Think outside the box for a non-pedestrian doorstop. Back in the 40s my mom had my sister's baby shoes bronzed. She used them as bookends. I use them as doorstops. |

I have been growing toms in containers for yrs and plan to try drip system this yr.
I grow them in 18 gal rubber maid totes that are 15x 22" using peat moss based mix with compost and perlite. Will a 1/2 gph emitter be enough to saturate the area of a 15x22" rubbermaid container? |
Follow-Up Postings:
1/2 gph for how long? How big are the plants? What kind? |
Tomatoes to do well it is best that they be kept at a relatively even moisture. With your mix most of the water will be removed by the plant, the bigger the plant the more transpiration, also the more heat the more moisture needed to be replaced. From your post I can not tell whether you are in Texas or Alaska. Generally speaking drip works well for container grown tomatoes. Al |
- Posted by emgardener (My Page) on Wed, Jun 1, 11 at 11:31
You should test it out. Just drip into a tote of your mix, starting with the mix dry. See how long it takes to start dripping out the drainage holes. That's how long you probably should set your timer for. Also check to make sure the water diffuses to the entire mix. Peat usually diffuses water well, but with just one emitter it might not be enough. I had 5 emitters in a 18 gallon tub and a fast draining mix. The water did not diffuse enough and about half of the mix remained dry, not matter how long I watered for. |
- Posted by greengrass1 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 1, 11 at 13:55
I dump prior season's mix and throw some additional materials in it but always make sure that it is moist before going back in tubs. I agree with calistoga once roots start to fill up the container they will suck up the water. I am going to use (2) 1/2 gph emitters for large tom a 1 emitter for 12 inch containers of chile peppers. I will also g3t some cheap ball valves in case I want to reduce the flow. |
- Posted by redshirtcat 6a MO StL (My Page) on Wed, Jun 1, 11 at 21:19
Also remember that you can buy different types of emitters that have greater spreads. Even micro sprinklers that will give you a fine mist. If you are absolutely trying to minimize wasted water then maybe some mix of button emitters will work but were I setting up a drip system for convenience I think I would go with some type of micro bubbler or maybe even a micro sprinkler in each pot just to make sure I had good coverage. But I'm a complete amateur so take that with a grain of salt, heh. |
For my larger containers I use what is called "spitters" plastic spikes that stick into the soil about six inches long. A 1/8 inch tubing attaches to the top which has a calibrated slot that caused the water to spit out. They are from 4 to 8 gallons a hour. The plastic color indicates the gallons per hour. Nurseries use them for their container stock, and when a container is sold, simply connecting to the reverse end of the stake stops the water until another container takes the spot and is reversed again. I buy mine from www.harmonyfarm.com Al |

Oh! Al, I have a question about those. I'm trying to rig a drip system for my container garden in case I have to be away for a few days over the summer. I have quite a few plants in the gritty mix and I don't think the usual drip heads will cut it with that mix. The only ones I've been considering are the C 45 degree down sprayers and the spitters. I've seen the C sprayers in action and I'm sure they will work - the only problem is that they all have very high GPH which means I will either need 2 zones one for the gritty pots and one without - or I just have to deal with a ton of overwatering into the gritty. Obviously that isn't the end of the world since it's the gritty mix but I'd like to avoid it if possible. I have NOT seen the spitters in action. I can't find a video anywhere. Do they spit in a straight line? Is it a radius? Will they cover most of the pot and work for a gritty mix with essentially 0 wicking properties? Thanks! |
redshirt the spray is horizontal with a path of between 90 and 180 degrees. The spray at normal drip line pressure is about one foot or so if you do not push the stake too far into the soil. I can take a photo of one in action(no not an action photo!)if you email me so we don't bore others here who are not interested. Al |

I wouldn't kick him out of bed, he could even have a cigarette afterwards
I wouldn't kick him out of bed, he could even have a cigarette afterwards
wow he is not ageing well !!!!
Uh, he's aging better than most people... he got a LITTLE fuller, and got gray hair. So what?
He looks fine. I still think he's sorta average looking, but to say he's aging badly and looks ugly is moronic.
And for the cig haters, jeez, you people act as if he's giving you second hand smoke just by looking at his pictures. I hope you're all pure healthy stallions, otherwise, drop the soapbox mentality.
WOW!! Matt got so old looking in such a short amount of time. It makes ME feel old.
What's his age now, anyway?
Is it just me or does he look pretty hot nowadays? He just admitted that he dyed his hair during his tenure on Friends, because he is now all gray. I think it looks hot.
Heres the article
The gray hair makes him look distinguished!
Yes, he's HOT!
he started getting a little portly at the end of Friends/during Joey and after....looks like he got his weight back under control, must have removed all the ho hos and twinkies from the closet (but not the twinks and hoes)
I first saw Matt in a Heinz and Cherry 7 up commercial in 1988. I had a crush on him!!! Then he showed up on a show called TV 101 in 1988 or 1989 when I was 15. I had a lot of pin-ups of him! Then he did that spin off of married with children then Friends. I was way over him by the time he hit friends. Fun to look back though.
When the pictures of him with silver hair came out and everyone was mocking him for looking old and whatnot, I still thought he looked great!
I think he looks great here as well. I would ride him all night long!
....and a closet case from what I've heard.....
^yeah rumors have followed him around for decades.
MATT Le Blanc - 'Show Time'
I've wanted to see his naked ass ever since Friends. I'm still hoping and praying
I thought Matt LeBlanc was ridiculously sexy in the first year of friends. I always assumed that he was even hotter before friends... does anyone have any really early pictures?
thought it was funny- he was hired to play the stud and he gained weight every season- if one of the girls had done that.....how fast do you think they would have been dragged to a fat farm or fired...????
Yeah I do, I'm a pretty huge fan of Matt...if that wasn't clear
here are young pics of Matt(before friends)
the shirtless pic is from his from his first movie
And bonus for the last pic, do I see a bulge...possibly
There are rumors about them too- we just don't talk about them.....the Matt rumor started when a chauffuer said he was driving Matt and Matt made him cruise the LA Hustling strip, he picked up a guy and fuck him in the back seat.....
the rumor also started because he showed up on the cover of this magazine
OMG those pics of him on the Showtime show are hot. Age has done him good
he looks good
He looks just as hot now as he did then.. He's a perfect example of how we men become distinguished as we grow older. And women just get older! lol
I remember the Spartacus Guide.....
He did do a softcore porn scene wayy back at the start of his career but from what I remember of it, it only showed him getting a fake blowjob in an elevator.
still hot, i hope we can see more shirtless of him on his new show
The season ended with episode seven. That doesn't make it seem promising for a season two. Will there be one or was seven it?
hes hella sexi.!
funny line from this scene still love his hair
I think he is so fucking hot. Anyone else have any pics?
Matt is my PERFECT man he is sooo sexy and masculine...would love him 2 pop my cherry ;-) wot a hunk! I think he has a massive cock and a huge bellend yum
He's really hot for an older guy. I'd hit that day and night if I could. He's just so adorable and cuddly.
he looks so much hotter now then back in his friends days, although i've always found him hott!!
Any fakes of him about?
Episodes has been renewed for a longer second season of 9 episodes!!!!
Excited for season two of Episodes with this hunk!
He also has that god-damned cleft, and I'm a sucker for a man with one of those.LOL

Go forward and make your dreams come true.

yep there it is, the chin butt haha
^Maybe that's why I like clefts so much; because they remind me of an ass. I'm not even going to try and decipher the psychology behind the exact reason, though.

ooVoo EXPANDS ITS LEADERSHIP TEAM WITH APPOINTMENT OF JAY SAMIT AS PRESIDENT, LARRY LIEBERMAN AS CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER
Marketing "Dream Team" Reunites, Poised to Drive ooVoo Growth in the U.S. and Internationally
NEW YORK (September 12, 2012) - ooVoo, the fastest-growing and largest independent social video-chat provider with 56 million registered subscribers, today announced that Jay Samit has been named President and Larry Lieberman has been named Chief Marketing Officer of the company. This "dream team" first teamed up more than a decade ago to introduce the world to digital music years before iTunes was created. Samit and Lieberman's collaboration at ooVoo will mark the third endeavor for the two technology and social media marketing innovators, who most recently working together to relaunch and grow digital media marketing pioneer SocialVibe.
The rapidly growing social video chat company is on a strong upward-trajectory with consumers, with ooVoo currently adding approximately 100,000 new subscribers each day. ooVoo social video chat advantages include a superior and free HD-quality video chat platform that allows consumers to meet virtually with up to 12 friends at a time, plus an unlimited number of other friends who can watch live. ooVoo subscribers on average are spending over 200 minutes per month in live ooVoo video chat sessions.
"Jay and Larry's combined experience in marketing, digital distribution and social media engagement is unmatched, and their unique vision, strategies and drive will keep ooVoo out front in the multi-party social video-chat industry," said Yuval Baharav, CEO of ooVoo.
Jay Samit brings more than 25 years of successful experience in digital media to ooVoo, having held executive positions at leading social media and music industry companies. Previously CEO of SocialVibe, Samit oversaw growth of the company's social media technology platform to become the industry's largest, reaching over 600 million consumers around the world each month for major brands including Proctor & Gamble, Kraft, Nestle, Toyota, Pepsi, Microsoft, Visa and Disney.
Prior to SocialVibe, Samit was Executive Vice President of Sony where he implemented a profitable global digital ecommerce strategy for Sony, creating a new division that launched what became the seventh largest e-commerce site in the world. As Global President of Digital Distribution & Development for EMI, he broke new ground for the entertainment industry launching digital businesses in more than 30 countries. As Senior Vice President of Universal, Samit built one of the first online million member social networks in the 1990s and sat on Universal Studio's overall steering committee.
Larry Lieberman reunites with Samit following strong success at SocialVibe. Known as a marketing innovator who has been rewriting sales and business rules for two decades, Lieberman served as SocialVibe's Chief Marketing Officer where he refocused, re-staffed and re-launched SocialVibe to become a leader in digital display and engagement advertising.

Bovie Medical Corporation Comments On Recent Corporate Activities
Bovie Medical Corporation (NYSE-AMEX Symbol: BVX), a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today commented on recent corporate activities.
Vessel Sealing Products
The Federal District Court Complaint, filed in Tampa, Florida against Steve Livneh, Lican Development, Ltd. and Henvil Corp. (both controlled by Mr. Livneh), was instituted to protect the Company and its shareholders from ongoing actions by the defendants that were considered damaging to Bovie's best interests. Mr. Livneh was removed from the Board for cause at a Special Board Meeting held on July 16, 2010. Despite these unwelcome diversions, the Company proceeds with its vessel sealing product research and testing protocols necessary for the FDA 510K submission process. Developmental and engineering progress continues to be made while vice president of sales and marketing for surgical products, Jeff Rencher, prepares to market the Company's vessel sealing products and other offerings.
Recent J-Plasma Developments
The Company is actively developing enhancements to its J-Plasma™ product, which leverage and combine unique properties of J-Plasma™ ionized helium gas together with surgical instrumentation under development. The enhancements are expected to have potential application to a broad variety of surgical procedures. The Company is coordinating with a number of leading university surgeons who will evaluate the J-Plasma™ enhancements in diverse surgical specialties. The Company is planning to file new patents related to these potential uses and intends to display its J-Plasma™ as well as other products at the 39 th AAGL Global Congress of Minimally Invasive Gynecology in Las Vegas November 8-12, 2010. Sintered Steel The Company continues to advance its Sintered Steel product lines, and while temporarily delayed by the Salient/Medtronic litigation, is moving forward with its SEER™ and BOSS™ marketing. In Other News Mr. Rencher, as part of market planning for all of Bovie's specialty surgical products, foresees the addition of up to 100 independent sales representatives located throughout the United States during the next twelve months. Shipments of surgical products, including the recently released Bovie coated electrodes, will commence by month's end to the new specialty sales reps. The Company also reports the extension of its OEM agreement with Medtronic Inc. through 2012.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Junior Rachel Hay went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs in game one |
Sept. 30, 2011
Game One Box Score | Game Two Box Score
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Missouri softball team continued their fall schedule with a doubleheader sweep over Crowder College and Heartland Community College on Friday, winning 10-1 and 5-0, respectively, to improve to 4-0 during the exhibition season.
In game one, the Tigers racked up 10 runs on 15 hits, including three home runs, to defeat Crowder College by a 10-1 final. Rachel Hay hit a two run homer in the bottom of the second to put Mizzou on the board, and Nicole Hudson followed with a two run shot of her own in the third to make it 4-0.
Crowder scored their lone run of the game in the top of the fifth, taking advantage of a leadoff single by Kala Crisp. After being moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt, Crisp was lifted for a pinch runner, Carrie Binder, who moved up to third on a fly out. She would come in and score on a base hit blooped over Hudson's head at third, cutting the lead to 4-1.
The Tigers got that run back and more in the bottom half of the inning, scoring three runs to go up 7-1. Ashley Fleming led off with a base hit to the pitcher and a walk to Hudson put the first two runners aboard. Kelsea Roth then delivered a base hit into center field, bringing Fleming in to score. Krebs laid down a bunt single to load the bases, and Hudson would score on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Lindsey Muller. A base hit by Hay brought in Roth for her third RBI of the game.
Jenna Marston led off the top of the sixth with a base hit, and came in to score on Corrin Genovese's second triple of the fall. Genovese would score on a sacrifice fly by Fleming. Missouri's final run of the game came in the bottom of the seventh on a home run by Muller. She finished the game 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs, while Hay went 3-for-4 with three runs driven in. Genovese, Fleming and Krebs also had two hits each, while Hudson went 1-for-2 with two walks, two RBIs and two runs scored.
Freshman pitcher Bailey Erwin got her second win of the fall season, throwing all seven innings while allowing just one run on seven hits. She struck out five batters and didn't issue a walk.
Kristin Nottelmann shined in game two, throwing her second complete game shutout of the fall while striking out double-digit batters for the second straight week. After setting down 15 on strikes in her start last Friday, Nottelmann struck out 10 Heartland hitters today. She allowed only three hits and didn't walk a single batter.
Missouri tacked on a run in the first inning, kicked off by a double by Marston to start the game. She moved up to third on a fly out and came in to score on a wild pitch. In the third, Ashtin Stephens reached on an error to start the inning, and swiped second base to get into scoring position. Marston drove her in with a base hit to center field, extending the lead to 2-0.
Another leadoff double in the fourth, this one by Angela Randazzo, helped the Tigers push another run across. With two outs, Princess Krebs roped a double into the left-center field gap to bring in Randazzo and make it 3-0. In the fifth, two out extra base hits by Hudson and Roth made it 4-0 in favor of the Tigers. Hudson got it going with a triple off the wall in left-center field, and Roth followed it up with a double to the gap in right-center.
The Tigers added one more run in the bottom of the seventh, jumpstarted by back-to-back singles by Genovese and Hudson to lead off the inning. Genovese moved over to third on Hudson's base hit, and then scored on a line out by Roth.
All nine starters in Missouri's lineup had at least one base hit on the game, which Marston and Randazzo leading the way with two each. Roth led the team with two RBIs, while Marston and Krebs added an RBI of their own.
Missouri continues their fall schedule next Friday, with a doubleheader against St. Louis Community College and Iowa Central Community College. Game one begins at 3:30 p.m. CT, with the second game starting at approximately 5:30. Stay tuned to mutigers.com for more information.

I could not resist and purchased a bunch of tulips, daffodils and crocus bulbs in the local Walmart. They've just got them and I know that if I wait they'll neglect them and bulbs will probably start growing or rotting by the end of September when it is time to plant them in our zone. Can I store them in the fridge crisper, temp on highest setting in the fridge? Fridge its empty and only bulbs are in it. Any advise is greatly appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by pitimpinai z6 Chicago (My Page) on Mon, Aug 18, 14 at 10:59
I suppose you can store them in the fridge until September. Many bulbs growers and gardening books suggest that these bulbs be planted after the ground has cooled. But I have been wondering why then bulbs in the garden don't need to be lifted after blooming. Daffodils, crocus and other bulbs in my garden have been blooming year after year after year even though they are left in the ground all summer and winter. Whenever I unearth any daffodils or other bulbs while gardening, I simply dig a new hole and replant those bulbs right then and there. Why then can't we plant new bulbs in summer and leave them be as long as we don't saturate the ground and causing the bulbs to rot? |
I guess, my concern is the temperature in the fridge (too low perhaps?). If you dig up bulbs after they bloom, it is recommended to store them at 60-65F in a cool basement (I don't have one) till fall planting. My concern is - are they going to start growing/blooming when I take them out of the fridge and put in the soil? What if the soil temperature higher than temp in the fridge on Sept 30th? I suppose, I need to find a thermometer to measure how cold fridge storage is. |
I wouldn't store them in the refrigerator until you plant. Just keep them in a dry, shaded area in their mesh bags. Do not store them in plastic. According to the MN Daffodil Society website, you can start to plant daffodil bulbs now. See their daffodil schedule at the link below. The times for planting tulips and crocus are similar, and it should be fine to also start planting them now. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Care activities by month
Yes, as someone pointed out...the garden fairy doesn't come and lift the bulbs every late spring and leave them in her shed till fall planting time. They stay in the ground..that's where they belong. |
Bulbs sold in stores are usually 'cured' for shipment, that means they've been dried for a few weeks to lose almost a quarter of their weight. If you've ever grown onions it's the same curing process, you can't store them wet since they'll 'sweat' out the moisture and end up moldy and rotting in storage from the dampness. Because they've been cured, they store and ship well but are in a deeper dormancy than bulbs you have in the soil already. If I dig up my daffs now they might already be sprouting roots, but the ones in the garage won't be planted for another couple weeks since the warm damp soil may cause them to rot before they start waking up. Uh so what Chemocurl said, store dry and plant when it's cooler.... No refrigeration necessary. |
I have measured temp in the fridge - its 46F, a bit too cool for recommended storage conditions. Now I have unloaded bulbs into shallow cardboard boxes and put them under the cooling vent in my bedroom, we have no cool basement in this house (elderly relatives turn on gas fireplace downstairs because 72F cooling is too cold for them). I am still prepping new flower bed for the bulbs, I think planting daffodils now is a bit early - it is currently warm, humid, and raining every two days or so in MN. Thank you, everybody for your suggestions! |

The "Orange portfolio" comprises 761 suites in four properties at developments in Charlestown, Lansdowne Gate, Beacon South Quarter and Bakers Yard, all located within the greater Dublin area.
A further 3,180 square metres of commercial space will be acquired in two of the properties.
In details furnished to the Irish Stock Exchange today, the company said it had been selected as the preferred bidder for the "first residential property portfolio brought to the market by the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA)".
The purchase of the property is to be funded by cash on hand and a recently established E130 million credit facility. The deal should close in October.
The apartment portfolio is currently over 98 per cent occupied with residential rents of E10.6 million and commercial rents of E300,000, generating a gross yield of 5.2 per cent. The majority of apartments are two bed.
"With the closing of this transaction, our property portfolio will grow to a total of 1,202 apartment suites, transforming I-Res into Ireland's largest non-governmental residential landlord," said chief executive David Ehrlich.
"All of our properties acquired to date are located in Dublin, in good letting locations, and with the benefit of proximity to public transport infrastructure and nearby employment. Also we are pleased to note that all these assets are recently constructed to a very high standard."

From "I'll never be one of those sex tape girls" to "Fuck me harder you pussy" in five minutes flat. Her future in a gynecologist's office looks good.
Ohhh Anjelica, please never stop using your pussy as an ice breaker. All the daddy issues in the world couldn't create another cock machine like you.
Cute girl with a major appetite for hardcore penetrations gets more than she bargained for when she walks into THIS guy's porn audition for the first time.
This chick is HOT HOT HOT and loves to ride on top.
You really gotta hit up these shows more often.
Remember that first time you stuck your penis into a vagina and it blew your mind into a pile of shit skittles? That happens every time with her.
2 many drinks - been there, done that. But should it mean two jackoff frat boys taking turns cumming on her? If there's any justice, yes. It does.
It's Whitney Westgate when her tits had elasticity and the porn scene was her oyster. This hardcore fuck video is exactly how I'll always see her.
Life just gets to be that much more awesome when your top-bitch brings over a girl even sluttier than she is to share the sloppiest blowjobs with.
And a love of penetrating her butthole too.
If only every wet dream translated into real life.
Apparently he helped her pass her last semester's classes and she owed him BIG TIME. And sex with a solid 9.5 can clear any debt you have.
Showing off an asshole like that is no accident.
Her big natural tits are the ice breaker, and her open legs are the deal sealer. Fucking awesome girl over here, who you should fap to immediately.
Well where else is she going to put it!?
Never seen an everyday girl so happy to get penetrated by a douchebag before. I gotta start cutting out those leg days.
College finals week is like shooting fish in a barrel. These girls are so stressed, they'll wrap their clam around just about anything!
Busty-as-fuck pornstar makes her hardcore debut and it's one of those "I'm gonna be late for work because I have to take another shower" videos.
Still can't believe she opened that hole.
Not having to invest in a telescope for the local girls really helps the fap sessions move along a lot quicker. Ain't nobody got time for that science shit.
Did he pay her in Hello Kitty trading cards?

Thanks Jackie. I found it on hmf (no s) I was just looking for people's prrsonal experiences with these early Austins. Particularly in California. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Yellow button

I take it these two aren't very popular. It will be an experiment I guess. |
I really like my Leander - love the color and the scent. Mine sprawls rather like a climber which is fine - I have it planted where there is plenty of room. I don't think it blooms as much as some other Austins, but I happen to like it a lot, it is quite healthy for me. It bloomed quite a bit this spring - its now resting and trying to survive our Texas heat - am sure it will bloom well in the fall. Judith |

KUALA LUMPUR: Thirty-five veteran artistes received RM2,000 each from Yayasan Artis 1Malaysia (YA1M) as appreciation for their contribution to the entertainment industry and the nation.
YA1M president Datuk D.J. Dave said the gift was to recognise the actors and singers for having done much in nation-building as "society has been kept together by their entertainment".
"So why not give them that respect," said D.J. Dave at the presentation ceremony-cum-breaking of fast at the Saloma Theatre Restaurant here on Thursday.
He noted that artistes at that time were paid very little and received hardly any recognition for their talents and effort, while the producers and composers got the lion's share of the profits.
"We want these artistes to get a fair share of the credit for their hard work," he said, adding that insurance was already in place for all artistes when they reach 55.
Among the recipients was actor Suntheresan S.M. Palani, 62, who lamented the lack of progress for artistes in today's local Tamil entertainment industry.
"Good actors do not get paid well. And when they retire, they have little money for survival," he said.
He also said that artistes from the old generation were unable to find acting jobs now.
"They are lost when they enter the film studio and can't keep up with the demands of the younger generation. There is no chance for old-timers in acting," Suntheresan said.
Rokiman Mohd Said, 66, a singer and guitarist for a group named Alice Sound, said he would use the money well.
"For a man my age, I don't have many needs. So I will use it for necessities and things for the house," he said with a smile.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
In March of last year Igluski's Sales Director, Adam Johnson took 3 Iglu team mates on a mission to conquer the largest linked ski area in the world, Les Trois Vallées, in France. AJ takes us through their epic day...
Can you Ski the 10 Main Resorts of Les Trois Vallées in just one day?
The answer is yes, and it's an excellent day out that gets you to all the corners of this massive ski area. We started our ambitious mission in the most central resort of the largest ski area in the world, Méribel {1}, in the middle Les Allues Vallée. We were staying with Total Ski in the lovely Chalet Cedre Blanc in the Mussillon area above Dick's Tea Bar. Around the dinner table in the Chalet, my team and I had planned our whole day travelling anti-clockwise on the map around the 3 Valleys the night before. However, there was a hitch from the moment we opened the curtains in the morning. It was a Powder day above 1600m! And as everyone knows, the 1st casualty on any Powder day, is the plan! On a day like this you need to be up with the sparrows and queuing for the 1st lift. My IGLU veterans crew of Scotty on K2's with Telemark bindings, Boyd on Volkl Grizzlies, Damian on some heavy rubbish he hired, and myself on Stöckli Coral Snakes, were more excited than 6 year olds on Xmas morning.
Kick off at 8.30am at the Chaudanne
The plan called for us to head for St Martin de Belleville {2} at the bottom in the next Vallée that leads up to Val Thorens. The quickest way up was to take the Tougnete 1 Gondola and then the Express 6 seater, Tougnete 2, which would very swiftly take us from 14520m to 2434m. At the top we skated off right looking for the Seasonaire's favourite Red run, Jerusalem. This is a long fast banking red that never gets too steep but has oodles of tempting powder stashes left and right. And here in lies our 1st error. Scotty got so excited by the depth of the Pow that he stayed on the right hand side of the piste for too long and ended up on the Blaireau Red piste taking us back to the Tougnete 2 express chair. OK, not much of a detour except that the crowds had caught up to us so we had an annoying 15 min wait. Back at the top we were away again and this time we frolicked in the pow on the left of the piste heading to Jerusalem and had a ball. Freshies all the way to St MdV. It's a Village that most visitors to the 3V never get to and that's a shame. It's a sweet little Savoie village with more character than its neighbouring purpose built resorts and it hosts some lovely restaurants like Le Montagnard owned by Eric Suchet a local cheese maker, and just down the road at St Marcel is Chef Rene Meilleur's Michelin starred La Bouitte. You can ski there off-piste or call for a lift from St Martin.
The main street of St Martin de Belleville
Already, at only 10am, we were late and behind plan. We quickly got on the St Martin #1 Gondola and then the St Martin #2 (painfully slow) quad chair. Once back up at the Tougnete peak we jumped on the long flattish blue piste Gros Tougne down to Les Menuires {3} at 1850m. Not a lot to look at in Les Menuires but it is incredibly popular with families who like the convenient village, slopes and cheapest prices in the whole ski area.
Les Menuires looks better at night ;)
We skied through the crowds in central Les Menuires to the short Doron Chairlift which gave us enough elevation to ski to the fast Bruyéres Gondola. You can stay on this from 1850m all the way up to the Col de la Chambre at 2850m. We peeled off to the right and skied down the skiers left* of the 4 Vents red piste and joined onto the Mont de la Chambre blue for a speed tuck straight through Val Thorens{4} the highest ski resort in Europe at 2300m, for the 3 Valleys #1 chairlift. We had planned to have a break in VT and the drinking terraces did look inviting but time was getting away from us. It was past 12 midday already and we had a long, long way to go. The 3 Valleys # 1 chairlift is quite fun. You travel through town at around the 3rd floor level looking straight into the apartments on either side (not that we peaked through the curtains) and at the top of the chairlift you can see one of the great on-piste parties of the skier's world. The new for last season La Folie Douce, the same crew as the original Val d'Isére Folie, passes right by within touching distance of the table top dancing girls and was ever so tempting. But we were on a mission, so we jumped straight onto the Bouquetin Gondola for a fast ride back to the Col de la Chambre.
*For the uninitiated, skiers left or right is always the view looking down from the top. Not the tourists view from the bottom which is the opposite.
The 3 Valleys #1 lift and VT Folie Douce
Now we were heading back into the middle Les Allues Vallée and the next stop was Mottaret {5} at 1600m, the slightly cheaper, slightly uglier and quieter, but far more convenient resort for ski in/out than it's close neighbour Méribel. Our plan had been to hit the Famous (Seasonaire's secret) Mottaret Montagne Burgers. I was sure I was smelling a Montagne burger as we came shooting down the skiers right of the Venturon red piste under the Cote Brune chairlift. FYI: As we splashed around in the piste side pow, we noticed a few guys hiking up the slope to our skier's right. We took note of this and did the same hike, scrambling over the little terrain park entrance 6 times the next day. An awesome little painless hike for the deep untracked. By this time of the day we were famished but to our great despair the Montagne Burger café had a queue of scruffy, woolly hatted chalet staff about 20m long.
Damn I wanted that burger!
I sought consolation in Boyd's hip flask of mighty fine skiing single malt and headed for the Pas du Lac Gondola to the famous Saulire peak at 2738m and entry to the 3rd Vallée called St Bon. We still had 5 more resorts to visit in the Courchevel area. At least we knew Courchevel has a plethora of awesome mountain eateries. We were just slightly wary of the usual wallet melting bills that go with it. From the top of the Saulire we had to forgo the usual skiers left dip into the thrill and spills that are the Courchevel Couloirs. On a day like this they would've been awesome. Instead we decided to go as far out to the boundaries of the area as possible so the rest of the trip would be coming back towards home. So we zoomed down the Marmottes red run and jumped on the Chanrossa chairlift. It was about now that I had an inspiration, perhaps brought on the Boyd's medicinal administrations. I remembered the Ski Instructor's favourite restaurant in Courchevel, The Bel Air. Still not cheap, but within our budgets and a cracking south facing terrace. The food is great and the service somewhat mindboggling. How do those waiters move so much food and drink through the crowds at such speed and accuracy?
Luckily for us the service at the Bel Air is famously fast and we appreciated getting in and out in under 45 mins. Now it was 2 pm and we still had 5 resorts to go. 1st on the list was 1650, now known as Courchevel Moriond {6}. We had a nice little romp down through fluffy white stuff under the Ariondaz Gondola all the way to town. We couldn't stay so we were straight onto the Ariondaz and zipped up to high enough to get over to the Aiguille du Fruit chairlift. We could've jumped on the Gravelles and skied across the Altiport, but why would we waste an opportunity to bomb the Suisses Black run on a powder day. The lads larked about and jumped off anything they could find and this got me worried for time. I cracked the proverbial whip and chased the crazy fools all the way down past the Altiport, down the Bellecote, and through Courchevel 1850 {7} only stopping for a photo.
Next stop was after a thrilling but icy Brigues Red piste down to Courchevel La Praz at 1300m {8} the lowest point of our circuit. La Praz is another little gem of a resort. The Ski Jump from the Albertville Olympics stands proudly over the entrance to the village. This village is more like a Savoie town than a ski resort and although it's pretty quiet it has some really nice Restaurants like the Michelin starred Le Bistrot du Praz. But no time to waste here. Another photo and away we go on the Praz Gondola. We really should've gone to 1550, Courchevel Village 1st but we missed the turn off. Now we were running it damned close for getting all resorts done.
Courchevel Village at 1550m {9} is the workers village of the St Bon Valley. Lots of staff from the Hotels, chalets and ski schools live down here. This makes the town a lot of fun and very functional. The bars and restaurants cheaper and well suited to looking after the young people that really make the Valley work. There is a selection of well-priced accommodation down here for the British market and it's ideal for being able to have a drink in Courchevel 1850 before either sledging or skiing straight down the Tovets blue piste to get home in the dark. You'll see lots of workers doing exactly that all night long. By now it approaching 3.30pm and we still had to do 4 long lifts to get back to the Col de la Loze peak that would enable us to ski all the way back to Méribel. We jumped on the Grangettes Gondola and nervously watched the minutes tick by. At the top we ran onto the Chenus lift as the clocked seemingly flew past 4pm and then 4.15pm.
The Grangettes Gondola up to Courchevel 1850 from 1550
At the top of the Chenus Gondola we jumped in our skis in record time and just tucked it for La Tania {10}. We weren't popular as we raced past (or through) groups and families having a lazy last run on the red pistes Bouc Blanc and then Moretta Blanche, but we were on a mission that could go very wrong, very soon. If you miss the last lift back to your own Valley the Taxi drivers rub their hands together with glee and start assessing you for how cash all of you can get out of the nearest cash machine in one go before setting the fare. There's not a lot you can do as the public transport doesn't go from Valley to Valley and 4 wild eyed and desperate men with big skis hitching is almost impossible. After scaring a few dozen La Tania guests and ourselves at around 100kph we hit La Tania just after 4.30 and we still had 2 long lifts. Would the Dou des Lanches Chairlift still be open when we got to the top of the La Tania Gondola? They were closing the Gondola as we arrived but the Lifty knew from our sweaty and desperate faces that there was no way weren't getting on that Gondola. We were the last on.
We hoped that they would always take the last skiers on the Gondola onto the Dou des Lanches chair to make sure Méribel guests got home but we weren't sure of it. As we approached to the top we prepared to argue for all our worth to get on that chair but there was no need. I think the Lifty was expecting us and he hurried us on and off we shot for the Col de la Loze and enough elevation to get us all the way back home. We broke out the celebratory hip flasks and toasted our achievement. Now that the pressure was off it was time to decide which of the 2 main sunny south-facing on-piste après ski bars of Méribel to go for, the new upstart, La Folie Douce or the long standing favourite, The Rond Point. I'll spare the blushes and not mention the ages of my IGLU crew but when we pulled up to La Folie Douce and looked across the vast sea of table dancing and champagne fueled smiling faces, and noticed that very few of them were born before 1990 we realised that this might not be the scene for us. Off we went to the Ronny for a few Jugs of Mutzig and to relive a most excellent Trois Vallées adventure.
Top tips for making the circuit
1.Take a packed lunch 2. Don't do it on a powder day 3. Don't take someone trying on Telemark bindings for the day (thanks Scotty) or any boarders, bladers or monoskiers 4. Try and get as much done before lunch as possible. Afternoons seem to slip away 5. Do your talking in the Gondolas or on Chairlifts. Leave the piste-side chats to the instructors and awed bystanders
Apologies to the resorts that some would consider to be part of the 3 Valleys like Brides Les Bains and Orelle which have gondola access to the ski area but aren't possible to ski to in late March.
Today's blog is bought to you by AJ, Iglu's Head of Sales and keenest après ski participant.
We're pretty keen on après ski action here at Iglu. So much so that it is one of the main factors that decides where we ski each season. We've even rated the best chalets for access to après ski. Some have great locations just a few stumbling steps from the best bars and some offer their own in-house bars that everyone else has to come to.
So, let's start with the best located chalet in everyone's favourite French resort, Val d'Isére.
The 5* Chalet Cherrier is slap bang in the middle of the action. I've stayed here and counted that it was only 16 paces from the front door to the Petit Danois bar. This is one of our early evening favourite bars with two pool tables and consistently hot Danish and Swedish bar staff. The rooms in the Cherrier are big and don't suffer from noise after 9 pm.
If your budget is more Carlsberg and KP nuts than Krug Champagne and Beluga caviar then you might want to be above one of the most iconic bars in Val d'Isére, by staying at the Chalet Hotel Morris. This chalet hotel couldn't be more convenient, but if you choose one of the rooms at the front with the sunny balconies, you will hear some noise. At least no one will complain if you're a little noisy yourself.
The most famous après ski resort of them all is St Anton and this next chalet is right amongst the fun.
You can ski directly to this chalet from your après session in the Mooserwirt or the Krazy Kangaruh and you are only a few minutes from the main pedestrian area of central St Anton. The Chalet Alpenheim has a few convenient single rooms and if you have a group of four, than make sure you book the junior suite with two rooms and a kitchenette on the top floor! Here it is really worth paying the extra for a sunny balcony with lovely views.
Italian resorts are usually fairly laid back about après ski but there are exceptions. Cervinia, which links over to Zermatt, has a few lively bars and the liveliest of them all is in the Chalet Dragon right on the slopes as you come down at the end of the day. This place gives Cervinia its aprèsphere.
The rooms in the Chalet Dragon are sectioned off in a separate wing so you don't get the noise of the bar. The chalet is also very well placed to appreciate all the other bars of Cervinia, being about 100m from the centre. The rooms in this chalet are large and this property was one of our biggest sellers last season, so get in early if you have a group.
The best party in Switzerland is undoubtedly in Verbier, and the Place Central is where it all happens.
Chalet Hotel De Verbier is so popular it's usually sold out for peak dates long before the season starts. It is directly opposite the best that Verbier has to offer and one the all-time classic après ski bars, the Farinet. Live music, potent shakers, a buzzing dance floor and a sliding roof that opens to let the steam out every couple of hours, come together to provide the ultimate Swiss après ski experience.
Courchevel is the famous name in the world's biggest ski area, but most people are put off by the prices of the extortionately flashy resort at 1850. To avoid the Ruskies and the €40 fondues, the UK market prefers to head to it's little brother just down the road in Courchevel 1650. The prices are better and the après is more convivial. This part of Les Trois Vallées is the most sun-facing and has the prettiest tree runs. Several of our most popular properties are in this resort like the Chalet Cascades and the Chalet Hotel Les Avals.
The Chalet Hotel Les Avals sleeps 70, so it's already got a ready-made party on most weeks. The chalet hotel also hosts the best après ski bar in resort, Rocky's. There is a live band on during après a couple of nights a week and it is well setup with TVs for any UK sport you may want to catch. Handy in February and March for the Six Nations rugby. It also does well priced snacks and lots of daily deals on shooters, shots, bombs and beers — as well as serving the legendary après ski beer, Mützig.
If you are looking for a bargain — with all the ingredients for a riotous week of partying — then look no further than the Club Hotel Les Airelles in Les Deux Alpes.
This property is cheap and cheerful so don't expect The Ritz. This club hotel has hosted the Iglu April ski trip for the last three years and has never failed to deliver a good time. Our crew are mostly mid-twenties ex-seasonaires that like a party almost as much as deep powder.
Les Deux Alpes attracts a young crowd and is heavily favoured by boarders who appreciate the excellent terrain park. We love the super short transfer from Grenoble, the access to La Grave over the top of the glacier, the cheap bars, the €60 helicopter day trip to Alpe d'Huez, and the reliable snow above 2500m.
And finally, here's a property that is the best placed in the Ibiza of the Pyrenees, Pas de la Casa.
Llac Negre is right in the centre of the main drag of Pas de la Casa. The town rocks all night and has plenty of great bars including the one in this hotel. The prices are great due to Andorra being a tax free principality. The resort is also at 2000m making it one of the highest in Europe. There has been lots of investment in the lift system of the Granvalira ski area and it now compares favourably with the big French resorts of the Tarantaise Vallée.
This is only a short list of some of our favourites but we have loads more to recommend for après ski action.
Club Med, the popular all-inclusive ski specialists are returning to the Milky Way for 2012/13. Club Med Pragelato will be their first hotel in the Milky Way for two years after they relinquished their Sestriere property two years ago.
Pragelato may not seem as obvious a resort to enjoy the delightful 400km of skiing the Milky Way, or Via Lattea in Italian, offers, but when you see the resort you'll quickly see why Club Med have taken residence there.
Club Med Pragelato Via Lattea
The resort of Pragelato was built for the 2006 Winter Olympic games in Turin, with the job of hosting the ski jump and the cross country skiing. After the Olympics left the village, the Milky Way was left with a charming, purpose build resort surrounded by trees and in a naturally preserved site — note to the French, it is possibly to built charming resorts, they don't have to look like Val Thorens!
The Club Med hotel is more akin to their summer programme then their winter offerings, with the resort being built in the style of a chalet-filled village, as opposed to one or two large hotels. The complex was previously managed by another company, but Club Med have taken over and are currently redecorating and upgrading the resort to bring it up to their 4* standards.
This resort looks like it could be the ideal hotel for a romantic getaway, a family ski trip, or hitting up the Milky Way in style with some friends, for a chilled, yet awesome holiday. Club Med Pragelato will boast three restaurants, including La Trattoria — serving up local Italian cuisine — La Taverna— with its Savoyard fare and charm — and the hotel's main restaurant — boasting the usual array of fab food available in Club Med's renowned buffet.
For lunches there are also three mountain restaurants to visit, meaning you can take advantage of the huge ski area, yet still enjoy Club Med's hospitality. Chalet Mollino over in Sauze d'Oulx is exclusively for Club Med guests and can seat up to 300 during peak season, which is amazing considering the resort only has 234 rooms! If you are skiing a little further afield, or prefer more intimate lunches there is a restaurant seating around 30-50 people in Sansicario and another similar sized restaurant across the border into the French resort of Montgenèvre.
The hotel also boasts a decent modern spa, which is one of the very few additional costs, along with a couple of bars — including a chilled out lounge bar if you don't fancy the French entertainment.
The Milky Way
The Milky Way, or Via Lattea, is one of the most underrated ski areas in the Alps. The huge area boasts a whopping 400km of skiing across two countries, with the majority of easily accessed slopes being in Italy, with the French resorts of Claviere and Montgenèvre a few lifts and a morning of skiing away.
Cruisy blues and confidence building reds are the order of the day, with the most difficult skiing being at the top of Sestriere and over in Montgenèvre. There is tree-lined skiing everywhere, which both helps keep the snow in great condition and offers protection on white-out days, making for great all round skiing. There are a few snowparks and a border cross, if you are that way inclined too.
If you fancy skiing Claviere and Montgenèvre from the Club Med Pragelato, then it's a full day out on the mountain, hence the restaurant. It will take a good hour and a half to two hours each way for a good level skier, so make sure you leave early to make the most of it and give yourself enough time to get back! There is also night skiing in Sestriere to enjoy, with Club Med offering buses from the hotel to the slopes on the relevant evenings.

All-in-all the Milky Way is a fantastic intermediate resort, a great place to build confidence, enjoy a few cruisy runs on the mountain and to enjoy some Italian sunshine and great mountain food. My idea of heaven! The hotel is the best value 4* resort in the Club Med brochure and with its brand new facilities and tree-lined mountain charm it will be popular with couples, families and relaxed skiers alike, looking for affordable luxury and not a typical French resort.

text: US Federal Judge Lucy Koh shot down a request from Apple to grant a permanent injunction blocking the sale of some Android-based Samsung mobile devices over pantent infringement claims. The motion was part of Apple's second patent infringement case with Samsung, and Judge Koh said the iPhone and iPad maker didn't show that its reputation or ability to innovate had been damaged. Judge Koh said in her ruling, "Apple has not demonstrated that it will suffer irreparable harm to its reputation or goodwill as an innovator without an injunction." Apple and Samsung squared off earlier this year for their second trial over cross-accusations of infringing on each other's patents. Samsung was found to have infringed on three of Apple's patents and ordered to pay about US$120 million in damages. The court also ruled that Apple infringed on a Samsung patent, and ordered the company to pay $158,400 in damages.
