Comfortable quiet stay
Very centrally located.. quiet sleep... , comfortable bed... The hotel was basic, noting fancy.... the room was a good size...... window in the room faced another building but not a big deal... it was not fancy, no fancy extras... but for the price, it was perfect! the only thing i would say is that they could do a better job cleaning the bathroom floor. i noticed the corners did not look too clean...
The rest of the bathroom though was spotless.... It was a good value for the money. The front desk staff was nice when i checked in. They are extra security conscious which was nice. Before you could enter the main area of hotel, you had to show hotel key..
Unique Quality: location cant be beat!
Directions: pretty much across the street from macys... near penn station...
Comfortable living
Hiya stayed here with my sister when we visited NYC for the first time. The hotel is very impressive when entering with a grand entrance. The staff are helpful when entering and once you are settled into the hotel.
The rooms are what you need for a stay in new york clean with enough room to do anything on a vacation. They arent overly big but still have plenty of room. The only problem we found with our room was that our room did not look onto the street instead onto the back of the hotel but this is only a minor problem.
there are two resteraunts within the hotel but both names have slipped from my memory. These were both very reasonable priced with the italian one being especially nice to eat in.
Unique Quality: One thing which was pretty good in this hotel was that of the shop inside the foyer. This proved very useful whether it be just for a bottle of juice to take up to your room or to buy some toileteries. Another plus for this hotel was the subway station just outside the hotel.

NECROMANCY! Timm, what drill bit and tequnique did you use to drill into the burner ring? Just got my SP50 and planning to use with a keggle. I'd like to do your mod instead of throwing a BBQ grate on top.
Fermenting American IPA AG 7-9-11
Good to know. Thanks. I don't drill metal often. I would probably have grabbed the biggest bit in the drawer and just had at it. ;P I'll go slow and step up the bit size a few times.
I used angle iron and bolted 4 pieces into a square that sits on top of my burner to stabilize my keggle.
I used the grill trick. Works well!
I have just purchased this one and tried on Sunday. Me and my buddy thought the keggel on the burner was sturdy.... Well we were wrong as it slipped right off in middle of the process. 8 gallons down the drain. I think I will use the idea of a grill top and some metal clasps....

We are blessed to live in Marshall County where there is prosperity and promise for many. And as friends and neighbors, we share a responsibility to safeguard the strength and stability of our communities.
The reality is there are those among us who struggle to meet the most basic human needs: putting food on the table, having a home to call their own, or taking care of basic medical concerns. Did you know that in Marshall County:
• 18 percent of our children live in poverty and the number is increasing?
• over 700 children ages 3 and 4 are not enrolled in preschool programs; and early childhood development drives success in school and life?
• we rank 85 out of 92 Indiana counties in percentage of mothers who received prenatal care in the first trimester?
United Way brings people and resources together to address the most pressing issues we face today. United Way funds a continuum of services that help those in our community become healthier and more successful, from the very young to our senior citizens too. Your contribution to United Way touches the lives of many by focusing on the building blocks for a better life: education, income and health. Let's inspire hope and build a brighter future.
Together, we can help.
Here are two programs to consider:
Cornerstone Partners. This program underwrites United Way operating expenses. Thanks to generous support of the Cornerstone Partners, today 92% of all campaign funds go directly back to our community.
Match for New or Increased Giving. Your gift of $100 or more can have even more impact through a 1:1 match for new or increased gifts. Up to $50,000 will be matched through a grant from the Indiana Association of United Ways with support from Lilly Endowment; this additional funding will help launch early-childhood development programs in our county.
Last year United Way was able to support services for over 30,000 residents in Marshall County. Please help us make a difference by investing your tax-deductible gift to United Way of Marshall County.
Get Involved. Give Now! There is POWER in WE!

Swift™ FX For Her Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear |
Get mask wipes for just 1¢ more when you add this item to your cart.
Simple by design, the Mirage Swift has been reduced to a sleek, minimal interface that is lightweight and easy to fit. The Swift FX For Her is designed specifically for women and shares the same new features of the Swift FX Nasal Pillow Mask. Outfitted with petite size pillows and female-friendly colors, the swift FX should brighten up your beauty sleep.
Manufactured by ResMed.

ResMed has made some substantial design changes to accommodate smaller facial features. After reviewing female patient performance, the length of the headgear backstrap was altered. The Swift FX For Her makes fitting a cinch, packaging each mask with an Extra Small, Small, and Medium size pillows.
Ultra-Quiet The exhalation ports are located on the frame, not on the cushion, allowing air to disperse gently outward and away from the user. This improvement has dampened audible motor whine and airflow noise. Sound levels have been reduced to only 25 decibels at the mask.
Petite, Lightweight, and Travel Friendly Calling the Swift FX 'minimal' is not a fair description. The mask's frame is practically invisible with the pillow cushion connecting seamlessly with the rest of the mask. A set of "lock and key" quick-release tabs secure the silicone headgear straps and allow for easy removal from the frame. The minimal design creates an ergonomic feel and allows for reading or watching TV at bedtime, even with glasses on.
Improved Pillows The nasal pillows are designed with dual-wall flaps with improved support and comfort. The cushion's base is outfitted with an integrated flexible chamber that provides stability for side sleepers. This added flexibility accommodates movement and a reliable seal at high therapy pressures. The Swift FX has been tested up to 20cm of water pressure and can maintain a consistent seal even at maximum therapy.
Headgear Leading in innovation, ResMed introduces a soft, silicone-based headgear that cradles your face. Made from similar, silicone material found in cushions and pillows, the Swift FX headgear lightly rests on the user's cheeks and quickly feels like nothing is there at all. This streamline design helps foster a sense of freedom and promotes early CPAP acceptance.
Soft Wraps For an added softness, ResMed has included a set of Soft Wraps, which can be worn around the headgear side straps. The soft fleece material prevents the silicone headgear from slipping and ensures maximum comfort.
Easy Fitting The minimal design is simple to use, with only 2 points to adjust: A low-profile backstrap and buckle on top. The backstrap is a Lycra-based material with Velcro fasteners. The top buckle is incorporated into the headgear and uses a set of notches for easy adjustment. The Swift FX headgear received three additional buckle notches that allow users to tighten around smaller heads. The adjustable backstrap was also shortened and can be worn under a pony tail, accommodating a wide range of hair styles. The Swift FX comes with Extra Small, Small, and Medium size pillows included with a Large size sold separately. All pillow sizes are interchangeable with the mask frame.

Nelson Mandela Dies at Age 95

Longtime civil-rights leader and former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela died Thursday due to complications from a lung infection. He was 95 years old.
We gave away $500 in groceries, an LED Smart TV, an iPad Air and more last month through our VIP program. Were you on the of the lucky winners?
You've seen him chugging up and down the steps of the Cajundome in Lafayette, or maybe even the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. His name is Chris "Yum Yum" Jones - famously known to many as "The Cotton Candy Man" - and right now, he needs our help to rebuild his life after he literally lost everything in a trailer fire.
Picking a name for a baby can be tough, so maybe this study will help.
We gave away $1,000 two times a day during the month of November, but since we love cash so much we wanted to give away $10,000 to one of our VIP members. So now the burning question is: who won the grand prize in our $10,000 cash contest?
Realistically speaking, turkeys don't stand a chance this Thanksgiving. But that hasn't stopped these fowl-tempered (sorry) beasts from fighting back against their would-be devourers, us humans.
Ah, Thanksgiving. Every family's tradition is different, but some things always ring true. There will always be a motley crew of folks coming together to celebrate and slip into a tryptophan-induced slumber
It may be November, but that isn't stopping one boy struck with baseball fever.
Congratulations to the most recent winners in our VIP program!
Silly answers and game shows go together like Thanksgiving and turkey.

Me? Amish? Dude, I'm a 25 year old single male living in southern Alberta trying talk sense into that thick BC pine you call a skull ON AN ONLINE ANIME COMMUNITY FORUM.
Honestly WHERE THE [Expletive deleted] DID YOU GET AMISH FROM? Do you even think about what you write before you post it? Amish are a group of German descended Mennonites who came to the US in the mid-1600s and are known for strict adherence to the bible, plain clothing, simple living and reluctance to adopt any modern convenience, like you know, electricity, phones, computers, cars, pretty much anything invented after the 1850s. Good lord, Think about what you're saying before you say it, you're sounding like an idiot.
You're supposed to be in your 50s, but your reasoning thus far has lead me to believe otherwise.
Last I checked I wasn't German, I am in fact descended from the group of English Separatists who came to North America on the Mayflower (I am related to this man: William Brewster (pilgrim) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
I say that there's someone out there for everyone because that's what I believe. Otherwise, whats the point of even looking for a date? If you think that there isn't anyone out there for you then you might as well stop complaining about it, because you've already decided.


text: Posted on 02 / 08 / 2015I will absolutely return here. There is no menu - you are just brought samples of what they have prepared that day. Vegans must specify no dairy. Then, once you figure out what you like, they refill it as much as you want. Great food and service!

An actress in the King's company, wife of Christopher.
Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
An actress in the King's company, wife of Christopher.
Per L&M Companion:
Actress, singer and dancer in the King's Company 1664-?78; a friend of Elizabeth Pearse and of Pepys (who dubbed her Bab Allen after one of her songs). She was born Elizabeth Carpenter and married Christopher Knepp (whom Pepys calls a 'jockey' i.e. a horse dealer) at Knightsbridge in 1659. In 1668 she was twice arrested at the Lord Chamberlain's charge for misdemeanors at the Theater Royal.
[She created the role of Lady Fidget, spokeswoman for "the virtuous gang" of secretly sex-hungry town wives, in Wycherley's 'The Country Wife' at Drury Lane in 1675. MR]

Wulf and Eofor
Character Analysis
Wulf and Eofor are two Geatish brothers who are part of a blood-feud between the Geats and their rival tribe, the Swedes. Ongentheow, king of the Swedes, killed Wulf in battle; in return, Wulf's brother Eofor killed Ongentheow. As a result, the Swedes still hold a grudge against the Geats, and war is sure to erupt once again.
Wulf and Eofor, brothers who fight together, sharply contrast with the fratricidal brothers Herebeald and Haethcyn. However, even though there is no strife between Wulf and Eofor, their very loyalty to one another results in inter-tribal conflict. There just doesn't seem to be any way to win for brothers in this story.

The Foundry for Star Trek Online (Beta) FAQ
Q: What is The Foundry ?
The Foundry is Cryptic Studio's tool set for allowing players to create their own content for Cryptic's games. This is also called a Mission Authoring Tool. Star Trek Online will be the first Cryptic game to use this tool set.
Q: Who can use The Foundry?
Anyone with an active Star Trek Online subscription will be able to use The Foundry for Star Trek Online (Beta) Mission Authoring Tool, after agreeing to the EULA for The Foundry.
Q: Can players create custom maps for their stories in The Foundry?
Yes they can. Players can customize pre-made planet surfaces, and star systems with their own encounters, objects, and story. They can also create their own star systems from scratch. More map features are planned for future updates.
Q: Can players add stories to existing open world content using The Foundry?
Yes they can. The Cryptic Studios Team is enabling certain contacts, objects, and areas that can be used to create community authored episodes. The tool allows players to make entire stories that take place in existing open world areas, or to have the story span custom maps and pre-created areas. Community authored open world content is only visible while a player has the appropriate episode in progress.
Q: Is The Foundry a modding tool?
No. The goal of this tool set is to allow players to put their stories in the Star Trek universe using the same look, feel, and capabilities that Cryptic's own design team utilizes. So while there are a lot of features for creating content, players cannot import their own images, 3D models, or audio into the game.
Q: How do players get episodes created by The Foundry?
When a player hails their respective faction to accept new episodes, there will be a new tab on the left of the window called, Community Authored. Clicking here will allow players to search for Community Authored content.
Q: How can players leave feedback regarding episodes created using The Foundry?
A Review system is in place for users to rate Community Authored Episodes. This system utilizes a 5 star scale, and the ability to add constructive feedback as well, once an episode has been completed.
Q: How will players be ensured quality content?
Members of the community can sign up as reviewers. All published community authored episodes need to be reviewed by the reviewers and given the okay before the rest of the community sees the content. If any questionable content makes it through the review process, players may report it for review.
Q: Will there be rewards for playing episodes created using The Foundry?
Yes. Playtesting has been performed to ensure balanced reward levels for community authored content. Players will not be able to create custom rewards with the launch of The Foundry.
Q: Can authors share content in The Foundry?
Players will be able to share certain assets such as costumes and maps between projects to begin with. In the future we hope to allow players to be able to work together on the creation of episodes, however, at this time it is not possible.
Q: Can I use The Foundry to create a custom ship interior or a starbase for my Fleet?
The first release of The Foundry will focus on mission content. Expanded functionality is being considered for future releases.
Q: I found a bug in an episode created in The Foundry! What do I do?
If a Foundry Episode cannot be completed you may opt to drop or leave the episode at any time.
Please feel free to leave questions regarding The Foundry for Star Trek Online (Beta) in this thread. We will continually update this FAQ to provide answers to all of your most frequently asked questions!

Pecan Apple Fritters with Sweet Cheese
These fritters are great fun. They look like doughnuts but have a hidden treasure of apple inside each one. I could say something cheesy here and suggest that they provide one of your 5-a-day, but with the best will in the world, I think that would be a bit misleading! These pecan apple fritters are pure indulgence at its best and cannot be deemed as healthy in any way, shape or form… but they are truly scrumptious!
I must be honest though, there's quite a lot of work involved to make these beauties, but they are so tasty and such fun to eat that they are definitely worth a try!
I am fond of nuts and I use nuts and seeds in a lot of my cooking. My step-grandmother had a couple of acres of land bordering onto the Sundays River near Addo in the Eastern Cape. We didn't visit

Merlyn is a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe. He is an archer and archenemy of Green Arrow. He first appeared in Justice League of America #94 (1971).
Years before Oliver Queen would become Green Arrow, he was inspired to take up archery by the amazing archer, "Merlyn the Magician". Once Green Arrow began to become famous, the two met again, as Merlyn challenged the hero to a public archery contest and defeated him. With that victory under his belt, Merlyn vanished for years, only to resurface as a member of the League of Assassins. Merlyn and Green Arrow faced again as Merlyn tried to fulfill a contract to assassinate Batman. Green Arrow was able to deflect one of Merlyn's arrows with an arrow of his own, saving Batman's life. Merlyn admitted that Green Arrow had become the better archer, but escaped before he could be captured. Unable to return to the League of Assassins, he became a freelance assassin.
Merlyn later appeared in Action Comics as part of the Queen Bee's unofficial "Injustice Gang" opposing the JLA.[1]
Finding work with one of Metropolis' crime syndicates, The 100,[2] Merlyn fought against a weakened Black Lightning, but lost the battle.[3]
Merlyn was apparently a part of the League of Assassins when the assassin David Cain's daughter, Cassandra, was born. Merlyn would seem to have taken part in the child's highly abusive training (along with other members of the League, such as Bronze Tiger), unknowingly giving her the skills to become the future Batgirl. He then served under Tobias Whale as a member of the 100.
He was among those who sold his soul to the demonic Neron during the events of Underworld Unleashed. He then joined the Killer Elite (along with Deadshot, Bolt, Chiller, and Deadline). All tried to perform various assassinations but were stopped by the Justice League of America. The group later encounters the Body Doubles. Merlyn and the others are soundly defeated, as the Body Doubles use gadgetry and cleavage to their advantage.[4]
The villain next made an appearance in the pages of Young Justice as an archer working for the Zandian national Olympic team. He is the instructor to the young Zandian archer Turk (a half-wolf metahuman). Turk and Merlyn attempt to sabotage the games in their favor,[5] but they are defeated by the Young Justice team.[6][7]
Merlyn would next appear in the pages of Identity Crisis,[8] and was one of the main voices for the villains during that miniseries. He recognizes the Monocle and Deadshot as his closest allies, and correctly predicts that the murder of Sue Dibny would have dire consequences in the villain community.[9] When he is captured by the Justice League along with Deadshot and Monocle, Deadshot was able to use his ties to the Suicide Squad and Amanda Waller to secure their release (much to the frustration of the newest Manhunter).[10]
The villainous archer reappeared with Monocle and Phobia in an attempt to kill the Shadow Thief at his trial, and in the process the villains found themselves battling Manhunter. Merlyn has since resurfaced in the pages of Green Arrow as part of a multipronged attack against Green Arrow and his family.[11]
Afterwards, he appears to be under the employ of Talia al Ghul as a tutor to her son Damian Wayne, though he would later confess that he was learning more from Damian.[12]
He has a minor role in The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, in which he is hired by the Sensei to take out a spring where Ra's could revitalize himself. He fulfills his tasks well but is defeated in the final confrontation between Ra's al Ghul and Batman.[13]
He was later seen among the new Injustice League.
He was later captured by the vigilante Cupid, who planned to kill him in front of Green Arrow, whom she was besotted with. To this end, she slashed Merlyn's throat with an arrow. Green Arrow was able to get Merlyn medical attention in time to save his life, but the villain's throat was damaged to the point where he would never be able to speak again.[14]
Tommy Merlyn appeared in The New 52 (a reboot of the DC Comics universe) in Green Arrow #0. Five years ago, Tommy was Ollie Queen's best friend. During a hostage crisis on a Pacific Ocean oil rig with a villain named "Iron Eagle", Merlyn was caught in an explosion. Fast forward to the present day, Tommy, branded as the "Mystery Patient", awoke.[15]
In Batman Incorporated #4 (2012), Merlyn (Arthur King) appears in the employ of Talia al Ghul, as part of the League of Assassins, and battles the members of Batman, Inc.[16]
During the Forever Evil storyline, Merlyn is among the villains recruited by the Crime Syndicate of America to join the Secret Society of Super Villains.[17]
In the second part of the 2014 Green Arrow storyline '"Kingdom," Merlyn appears after killing some of the men trying to take Mia Dearden into protective custody in relation to a "case" involving her mother and Mr King. Green Arrow, who moved in to rescue Mia following a tip off from hacker-for-hire Felicity Smoak, looked up to see Merlyn, bow drawn and face covered in burns.[18]
While Merlyn possesses no metahuman powers, he is one of the DC Universe's best archers, a rival to Green Arrow, Connor Hawke, Red Arrow, and the Celestial Archer. Like Green Arrow, he has been known to use trick arrows in the past. He has also been shown to possess a jet pack mounted in his quiver.
This section's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (November 2014) |
In The CW's Arrow (2012–present), Merlyn is reimagined as Malcolm Merlyn (portrayed by John Barrowman) who is a wealthy businessman associated with the Queen family, but is also a vigilante archer and a member of the League of Assassins. Malcolm's role is often changing as is Barrowman's casting status, season 1 he was the main antagonist and a recurring character, season 2 he was a guest character, season 3 is a main character. Overall Malcolm is arguably the main antagonist of the series. He also has a son named Tommy who shares the Merlyn name who was a main character in season 1, and a guest in seasons 2 and 3.

The story sounds almost too bizarre to be believed. A man posing as a physician's assistant performs a cut-rate liposuction on a woman who is awake but anesthetized. He asks her to hold her IV bag while he works, all the while smoking a cigar. A few days later, he shows up at her house with 6 pounds of her fat and, telling her he needs to dispose of it, flushes it down her toilet.
Reported first in the San Francisco Chronicle, this account was what city prosecutors allege happened to an as yet unidentified woman and led to the Thursday arrest of Carlos Guzmangarza, 49, on a litany of charges.
Messages left Monday, a federal holiday, with the San Francisco district attorney's office and the Medical Board of California were not immediately returned. But according to the story in the Chronicle, prosecutors allege that Guzmangarza stole the identities of a physician and a physician's assistant, which he used to operate a bogus clinic. Prosecutors said he charged only $3,000, and that he also gave the patient's daughter a series of injections he said would help treat her acne.
According to the story, prosecutors said it was only when the woman who received the liposuction experienced an infection in her abdomen that she saw a real doctor and learned that she had been swindled.
The Chronicle reports that Guzmangarza's bail is set at $750,000, and he faces up to 12 years in state prison if convicted of the charges against him.
The story is only the latest in a series of high-profile reports of illegal cosmetic procedures. In November, police arrested a practitioner in Miami and charged her with "boosting" women's buttocks by injecting them with a dangerous mixture of cement and Fix-a-Flat tire sealant.
In February, a 20-year-old British woman named Claudia Aderotimi died following a cosmetic buttocks injection administered in a Philadelphia hotel room. In January, Whalesca Castillo, an unlicensed practitioner in New York City, was arrested for running an illegal business out of her home injecting women with liquid silicone in the buttocks and breasts. And in 2010, a Miami woman, Ana Josefa Sevilla, was charged with a similar crime after one of her clients ended up in the emergency room with complications.
"Unfortunately, nightmare stories about bogus plastic surgeons like this are becoming more and more common," said Detroit plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Youn, who added that prospective patients in minority communities are often the ones who fall victim to illegal practitioners.
"These bogus docs often prey on minority and non-English speaking groups, where the knowledge of board-certification may not be as widespread," he said.
Youn said these clinics are often hidden in small storefronts in urban areas, making it even more difficult for local law enforcement agencies to crack down on illegal practices.
Considering how common bogus practices may be, Dr. Garry S. Brody, a professor emeritus at the division of plastic surgery at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine, said patients should take steps to protect themselves against unscrupulous practitioners. Specifically, he said that prospective patients should feel comfortable asking doctors to show their credentials and to ensure that they are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Additionally, he suggested that those considering cosmetic surgery call their state medical board for licensure information and any disciplinary actions and the ABMS to confirm certification.
"The old saying 'You get what you pay for' needs the additional caveat in these circumstances that you may pay much more in pain, suffering and additional medical costs," Brody said.
And Youn said an important step in addressing the problem is for the medical community to step up efforts to educate the public about the importance of board certification when it comes to choosing a plastic or cosmetic surgeon.
"We need to inform patients to choose plastic surgeons who are truly certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons," he said. "This information should be presented in other languages and on non-English speaking media as well. Patient education is key, as well as informing bogus practitioners … that there are very stiff consequences to performing unlicensed surgery."

4 Aug 2005 - 12:00amConvenience Retail Asia (CRA), which operates the Circle K convenience stores in China and Hong Kong, recorded a 27 per cent drop in net profit for the first quarter because of start-up losses and higher operating costs from two news stores in Guangzhou.

Yesterday, Circle K, which is part of Li & Fung (Retailing), opened its 100th store in the territory.
19 Nov 1994 - 12:00amON June 1, I tried to park my car on Carnarvon Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. The problem was not trying to find a two-hour parking space, but how to pay for it.

Bring home some local color!
So yesterday Salisbury Garden Center brought Interlaken the beautiful colors of Spring to its front entrance - thank you Emily from SGC! I was able to talk to Emily earlier today about the upcoming season at Interlaken (their 7th one here making our gardens look lovely!) and as usual, I am quite excited to see the lush greens and colors of the season appear once again! In addition to the beautiful hangers on the Sunnyside Porch, the ferns at the Woodside Building, the grasses at Countryside, the window boxes at the Townhouses, the huge colorful pots at the outdoor heated pool and the multitiude of color around the Wedding Pavilion, Emily and crew have other new plantings in store for us. Once summer comes, you will notice new grasses at the Woodside building, a new garden at the walkway up to the victorian Sunnyside building - and my personal favorite - a new look at the front entrance to the main building. I won't give any more details than this - you will just have to come up this summer and see for yourself!
Do you want to get some color from Salisbury Garden Center too? The store is conveniently located on Route 44 a mile east of the center of the quaint village of Salisbury, less than 10 minutes away from Interlaken property. They are open every day from 8:30am to 5pm, offering a wide selection of annuals, perennials, house plants, trees and shrubs, along with garden equipment and gifts. If you are in the mood for pansies, SGC is the place to go! Beginning this Saturday, April 16th and for many Saturdays following through June, they are offering a "Saturday Design Series" with designer Christine Krause, who will offer one-on-one consultations to make your garden be the best it can be! To get more information about this program, visit SGC's website by clicking here. I know I can't wait to get my thumb green once again this season! Visit Salisbury Garden Center to get your spring plantings started today!
Interlaken has got C O L O R !
And here's proof! Thank you Salisbury Garden Center for bringing beautiful color to our front entrance!
It's so BREEZY at Interlaken!
And I am not referring to a weather condition!
Breezy is an 8 month old Cock-a-Chon - combine a Cocker Spaniel with a Bichon Frise and wah-lah! You have cute Cock-a-Chon. Breezy has a beautiful white coat with a few patches of tan, big brown eyes and the sweetest puppy breath ever - he was full of kisses for everyone!
Super adorable, right?! And super smart too, because Breezy chose to stay at Interlaken and loved his first visit with us! Of course he chose the new and improved king-bedded room in the Victorian-styled Sunnyside building as his pet friendly accommodation. He loved his private entrance, how he could just prop himself up and look outside to see if he could spot another dog, perhaps staying over in the Woodside accommodation....
And his adoring owners loved watching him do this!
Time to bring your pet to Interlaken! We've got a total of nine pet friendly rooms - eight in Woodside with one Queen bed and one in Sunnyside with one king bed. A posh pet bed is provided for your favorite canine, along with plenty of property for walking and playing with your dog, including a nice leisurely walk to the lakefront. Winston is known to spoil pups with plenty of treats, so be sure to bring him/her in upon arrival.
If you aren't sure Interlaken is right for your pet, we have pet references! Please contact Crystal ("A Happy Guest" July 2010 blog), Saxon ("Saxon's stay at Interlaken" October 2010 blog) or Flirt (I am such a FLIRT! February 2011 blog)!
Colorful & Creative Country Quilters!
I love 'em!
I love driving to work on these special weekends, knowing the meeting rooms are full of colorful fabrics, patterns, sewing machines, irons, batting, needles, & threads…
I love arriving to work and seeing the familiar & happy faces (this is my favorite part - always a big smile & hug from Claire!)….
I love seeing them all head upstairs to Morgan's, knowing they will be receiving a tasty meal to overly satisfy their taste buds and give them the energy they need to get them quilting late into the night…
I love wandering between the tables and admiring their work, finding out what quilt is being made and why, and who will be the lucky one to receive it…
I love that Country Quilters loves us too!
Emailed to Kristy Barto, Corporate Sales Manager:
Dear Kristy,
Another hearty "thank you" to you and Kevin and all of the gracious, friendly and efficient staff of the Interlaken Inn. It is always such a joy to spend time with all of you and this weekend was no exception. The food continues to draw rave reviews (well, except for the "nut" ladyJ), but it was truly exceptional. Everyone appreciated the menu on Saturday evening for our 50s theme of Domestic Divas and the salmon on Friday night was "lip smacking good", as someone said. Then there was the beet salad, the stuffed mushrooms, the great soups,…
We are most grateful for all of the extra efforts you expend on our behalf and almost all of our 8 new participants have already signed up for the fall which is a good sign. They loved everything about the Inn, the staff and our event and I thank you for your part in enticing them to return. We already have 33 deposits for the fall and hope to finish with a total of 50 ladies, which would be good for the fall session. I'll keep you posted on our progress because I know the fall is a busy season for the Inn.
Again, thank you so much, have a most enjoyable summer and we'll look forward to seeing you in October.
Warm regards,
It's going to happen at Interlaken
I just know it is going to happen, one of these days. Maybe not this week (as more SNOW is predicted for Friday - please let that be an April Fool's joke), but it is going to happen at Interlaken. Very soon.
The brown grass will turn green, the naked tree branches will be full of leaves, the flowers will be in full bloom.
The sun will be bright, the sky will be blue, the air will be warm.
The pool will be full of crystal clear water, ready for the perfect swim.
There will be a bride and her bridesmaids, walking to the lakefront for a lakeside ceremony.
Someone will be enjoying their private lakefront area on Lake Wononkapook while staying in our cozy lakeside cottage.
The swings at the lakefront will have Guests celebrating their 20 year wedding anniversary swaying on them.
The wedding pavilion will be hosting an evening reception for a happy couple and their Guests, complete with its sides off, surrounded by lush green gardens.
There will be a corporate group experiencing raft building, one of our many team building exercises.
The new tennis courts will have an early morning match played by a couple on the Millbrook Vineyard Package.
Their will be a dog swimming in the lake.
I know that all this will happen at Interlaken very soon!

"This card is exactly how it is portrayed. The paper quality and print quality are superb. Make sure you order the size card you want, because the default is on the small side. Also, it arrived a day before it was expected. I am pleased with my order!"
"The variety to choose from was amazing! I love the one I choose. The picture is bright and clear and matches great with the bottom part with the writing, which is clear and easy to read. These were super easy to order and got them quickly. What more could you ask for?"
"I looked at SO many graduation announcements and was close to buying a couple of other designs but, I am so glad I went with this one. The card stock is great. The quality of the photos on front and back came out perfect. I am so happy with it in every way."
"I love the quality of the card. It was heavy card stock not flimsy photo paper. Great coloring and quality. So far all who received one absolutely loved it. It was nice that I could "customize" the photo with the vintage look. I would order this one again for my next graduate."
"Everything turn out beautiful, the picture , the quality it outstanding , fast and easy to order, i have to reorder more and costumer service is just wonderful to talk too."

Jesus the Man : In this controversial version of Christ's life, theological scholar and bestselling author Barbara Thiering presents, after more than twenty years of close study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Gospels, a revolutionary theory that, while upholding the fundamental faith of Christianity, challenges many of its most ingrained supernaturalist beliefs. Jesus the Man will undoubtedly surprise those for whom a traditional understanding of biblical history is immutable and unchallengeable. But for the throngs who have been fascinated by new interpretations of this history, Thiering's work will be an essential and thrilling read.

Space Ring Could Shade Earth and Stop Global Warming
Space Ring Could Shade Earth and Stop Global Warming
By Robert Roy Britt
Senior Writer
posted: 27 June 2005
02:14 pm ET
A wild idea to combat global warming suggests creating an artificial ring of small particles or spacecrafts around Earth to shade the tropics and moderate climate extremes.
There would be side effects, proponents admit. An effective sunlight-scattering particle ring would illuminate our night sky as much as the full Moon, for example.
And the price tag would knock the socks off even a big-budget agency like NASA: $6 trillion to $200 trillion for the particle approach. Deploying tiny spacecraft would come at a relative bargain: a mere $500 billion tops.
But the idea, detailed today in the online version of the journal Acta Astronautica, illustrates that climate change can be battled with new technologies, according to one scientist not involved in the new work.
Mimic a volcano
All scientists agree that Earth gets warmer and colder across the eons. A delicate and ever-changing balance between solar radiation, cloud cover, and heat-trapping greenhouse gases controls long-term swings from ice ages to warmer conditions like today.
Earth´s Atmosphere

Those who are often called experts admit to glaring gaps in their knowledge of how all this works. A study last month revealed that scientists can´t pin down one of the most critical keys: how much sunlight our planet absorbs versus how much is reflected back into space.
Nonetheless, most scientists think our climate has warmed significantly over the past century and will grow warmer over the next hundred years. Various studies claim the planet is destined to warm by anywhere from 1 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit over the next few centuries. Seas will rise dramatically, the scenario goes, inundating coastal cities. But another group of scientists argue that the temperature data supporting a warming planet is not firm and that projections, based on computer modeling, might be wildly off the mark.
Either way, perhaps our fate is more in our hands than we might have imagined.
"Reducing solar insolation by 1.6 percent should overcome a 1.75 K [3 degrees Fahrenheit] temperature rise," contends a group led by Jerome Pearson, president of Star Technology and Research, Inc. "This might be accomplished by a variety of terrestrial or space systems."
The power of scattering sunlight has been illustrated naturally, the scientists note. Volcanic eruptions, such as that of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, pumped aerosols into the atmosphere and cooled the global climate by about a degree. Other researchers have suggested such schemes as adding metallic dust to smoke stacks, to flood the atmosphere and reflect more sunlight back into space.
In the newly outlined approach, reflective particles might come from the mining of Earth, the Moon or asteroids. They´d be put into orbit around the equator. Alternately, tiny micro-spacecraft could be deployed with reflective umbrellas.
A ring created by a batch of either "shades the tropics primarily, providing maximum effectiveness in cooling the warmest parts of our planet," the scientists write. An early version of their idea was presented but not widely noticed in 2002.
Eccentric but reassuring
Those researchers who don´t buy the argument that global warming is occurring at any significant rate nor that humans are largely to blame may warm up quickly to the new idea.
Benny Peiser, a social anthropologist at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK, tracks climate research and the resulting media coverage. He´s among the small but vocal group that goes against mainstream thought on the topic of global warming.
"I don´t think that the modest warming trend we are currently experiencing poses any significant or long-term threat," Peiser told LiveScience. "Nevertheless, what the paper does show quite impressively is that our hyper-complex civilization is theoretically and technologically capable of dealing with any significant climate change we may potentially face in the future."
Peiser also notes that the Kyoto Protocol, a global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is estimated to cost the world economy some $150 billion a year. He also sees a broader rationale for supporting the seemingly bizarre manner of managing Earth´s temperature budget.
"I believe that this mindset, despite its apparent eccentricity, is actually rather reassuring," Peiser said. "It provides concerned people with ample evidence of the extraordinary human ingenuity that, as so often in the past, has helped to overcome many predicaments that were regarded as impenetrable in previous times."
He also sees an ultimate big-picture reasoning to look favorably on the notion of controlling Earth´s climate.
"Whatever the cost and regardless of whether there is any major risk due to global warming," Peiser said, "it would appear to me that such a space-based infrastructure will evolve sooner or later, thus forming additional stepping stones of our emerging migration towards outer space."
