Midwest Living Review
After stints at New York and Nashville restaurants, Topeka homeboy chef Greg Fox returned to open Row House Restaurant in the shadow of the Capitol's dome. He converted the 1876 seven-room row house into a fine-dining restaurant serving seasonal gourmet fare Wednesday through Saturday (reservations recommended). Most vegetables are yard-to-table -- Greg grows them in the Federal-style brick home's garden. He works in the original postage stamp-size kitchen turning out delicate dishes delivered to guests by nimble waitstaff balancing china-laden trays on narrow stairways. To experience the full range of Greg's culinary skill, we recommend the $37 tasting menu featuring the weekly menu's eight appetizer, entree and dessert items. The watermelon gazpacho as well as the roasted mushroom salad provide refreshment on a warm summer day. The marinated beef medallions are tasty tender, and the bacon potato side salad is simply to die for. Light and lovely entrees include a peppy garden couscous (vegetarian option) and the sweet-spicy dry rub salmon atop creamy, old-fashioned cucumbers (grown in Greg's garden). Of desserts, the blueberry sorbet ranked highest, although we didn't leave a crumb of the mint brownie or margarita cheesecake behind. Classic cocktails, beers and a 40-bottle wine list offered ($7 a glass; bottles, $25 to $120).

Best Bike for the Money
By Jimmy
from Utah
About Me Commuter
Comments about Nashbar Flat Bar Road Bike:
I use the bike to ride to and from school and work each day. Riding my mountain bike was getting to be too much work for the distance and amount of uphill riding. This bike is great because it combines the speed and low friction of a road bike with a more comfortable riding position. It's heavy for a road bike, but overall it works great and I'm happy with it. I was looking at similarly-equipped bikes from top name brands, but this one was much cheaper.

Nice for the price

About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
I bought this bike for a trip because it was cheaper than shipping my bike on the plane. The bike arrived in good shape just a small ding in the paint on the headtube and some scratches on the front wheel but nothing important. Assembly was easy. It had a blown tube on the rear wheel so I had to replace that before I could ride. All the gears shifted fine and the brakes work OK after a little adjustment. I brought my seat and pedals plus some other accessories to make it more comfortable and so far have about 300mi on this bike. It feels nice and stiff and climbs well and handles good at 30mph downhill. I rode this bike from Santa Barbara to LA last week with no problems. Great bike for the money.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Bought this to have something to ride on the roads instead of my Specialized MTB. Very pleased with the bike as it compares to some of the $450-$550 bikes i was looking at. My wife liked it soo much she took it from me and i ordered another one for myself. Had others ride it and they have already ordered one. Only wished the seat had some tilt adjustment but that's the only thing i can find i would change.
Excellent commmuter
By Sal
from Santa Cruz, CA
The bike is great, love the no decal look and it rides nicely. Will probably switch to 32mm tires and install my racks to make it a great commuter bike. Not a fault of the bike but the fork came a bit scratched and it has taken forever to get a replacement out to me.
Nashbar Flat Bar Road Bicycle
By Andrew the outdoorsman
from Pittsburgh, PA
The bicycle has good components, example, wheels, chain, derailleurs, brakes and handle grips. The derailleurs are adjusted correctly from the factory. An assembly manual or illustration sheet should be included. The handle bar is backwards and must be rotated 180 degrees around the head set so that the hand grips are correct. The head set is tightened with the hex screw in the center so there is no play. The saddle is fairly comfortable for a stock item. The bicycle has an aluminum frame and front fork, however the bicycle is 25 lbs. without water bottle cages, pump, computer, or flashing (front and back) safety lights. There are screws and fittings for the water bottle cages (2 each) and if one wants, a rear fender and rear rack to carry items. The brakes work well and the bicycle is quiet. The 21 inch frame fits well in both the arm length (my arms being slightly bent) and the leg position (my leg being slightly bent) at the bottom of the stroke. I am 5 feet 10 inches in height. I would recommend the bicycle even if one is an avid cyclist, but not for racing or training.

This product is being used a part of my daily means of traveling. Love how smooth it rides and how lightweight it is. I don't struggle with hills either. Very glad about this purchase.

NIce bike for the price
By csaw
from indianapolis
I bought the 17" frame for my wife who is 5'3" and it fits well (a larger rider would be able to use it also). The bike weighed in at 25.5 lbs assembled which was a huge plus over her old entry level Giant MTB tank. I'm not a bike guru, but assembly was easy. The handlebars were attached backwards, but this is an easy fix. All things considered, this was a great value to get her into a bike that can move a bit w/o spending $600+ for an entry level bike at the LBS.
Wife loves it.
By byke me
from Elko, Nevada
I bought it for my wife so she can ride with me. She loves it. She is just a casual rider so the cost benefit ratio for me was excellent. I did not pay too much and she is happy.

Good, reliable entry-level bike
By Matt in the Hat
from Olympia, WA
Bought this bike 10 months ago and have put about 500 miles on it so far. It was easy to put together out of the box and only needed slight adjustment to the front derailleur. It shifts smoothly, handles well and is not too heavy. The seat is uncomfortable to say the least, but it is easy and fairly cheap to change out. I have been pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and reliability of this bike.

If we get another Zodac like character, I'd want him to look at least as alien-like as the picture in the first post of this thread, if not more. Otherwise all we're doing is basically getting the same toy with different colored skin.
I like the name Zodaq. I'm not opposed to more Cosmic enforcers but Zodak was a tough sell as is. I dunno how comfortable Mattel would be with releasing another cosmic enforcer.
Also, I don't think it's a good idea to beef up the original 4HM design. The whole point of it was to make him an alien. Maybe they can make Zodaq using the teen buck for 200X Adam (whenever he gets made)?
Hell yeah, as long as it's a quarterly figure or something.
A cool character and very interesting, he looks like he is from the same race as the Council of Wisdom Alien.

The idea of a future Alien Enforcer is nice, but I don't need one so bad. I have Zodac and Zodak in my collection - that's enough in my opinion.

I really like Battle Brak's take on him. Definitely interested. And he could come with an alternate helmetless head for Zodak too (like Demo Man has the Alcala Skeletor head) for added value.

An Enforcer Corp. would be cool. I also like the idea of including the helmetless Zodak head with the Alien Enforcer figure. That sounds like a nice quarterly figure.
Looking at the concept art he seems real thin in body arms and legs. I think rather than just having another Zodac repaint they should go ahead and make the small thinner buck that can be used for characters like 200X Adam but then attach normal sized head hands and feet to create this alien proportioned guy.

And any and all PoP mini's.
I can't believe that I didn't post a pic of my custom here
how feasible would it be to make it from the female buck? i realize the legs would require new tooling, but i feel the slender shape would go a long way in replicating the look of the character.
We need many more characters before this. We already got 2 figures with the Zodac parts (Zodac and Zodak). If we get another Cosmic Enforcer, he'd better be a bit more special and different.
Personally, I don't really want to get a Cosmic Enforcers army. And if we get one more Cosmic Enforcer, then let it be much later.
I think that characters such as Mosquitor, Dragstor, Mantenna, Spikor, Two Bad, Rattlor, Tung Lashor, Rio Blast, Ram Man, Rokkon, Saurod, Flogg, Frosta, Queen Angella, Scorpia, Darius, Batros, Shokoti, Lord Masque or Lizard Man need to be released before this kind of Zodac ersatz.

I was hoping he'd be made eventually but with recent events, I wouldn't get my hopes up. I'll make him myself when we get Tung Lasher hands.a I also plan to mke Zanthor from FM cause I don't think he'll get done either.
Just wish I had an idea of what type of custom weapons 4H might have dione other than guns for them.

Definitiely want this guy. Battle Brak's version and claw guy 3's custom each look fantastic.
Xodac would be my preferred spelling of his name though. That way you have the nod to 2OOX and you avoid the plural.
How about Xodax?
I would love this figure in the line, I'd want him to be as near to the 4HM concept as possible, they could use Mantenna parts for his arms etc.

Review: Tito's Handmade Vodka
Posted by Arctic Wolf on February 23, 2012
According to their website, Tito's Handmade Vodka is produced at the oldest legal distillery in Texas in the City of Austin. It is a small batch Vodka produced in a pot still by Bert Butler 'Tito' Beveridge (yes, that is apparently his real name). According to the information on the back label of the bottle the spirit is distilled six times from grain, where only the heart of the distillation run is captured to be bottled. The product has enjoyed a remarkable growth in popularity after winning the Double Gold Medal for Vodka at the San Fransisco World Spirits Competition in 2001.
I was given a bottle of Tito's Handmade vodka by the local distributor, Diamond Estate Wines & Spirits for the purpose of a review here on my website.
Here is an excerpt:

Pelham horse faces uncertain fate; owner can't afford fee
Ralph Barrett III said he can't afford the $600 "surrender fee" for 21-year-old Rusty at a nearby animal shelter, and must vacate his property by the end of the month.
"But this is a senior horse with a sensitive system. It can be very dangerous to mess with his diet, especially in the wintertime," Caprigno said.
Neighbors Pauline and Richard Aucoin, whose Leonard Drive driveway is just feet away from Rusty's corral, said they've grown increasingly concerned about the condition of the quarter horse mix.
Several neighbors said they were worried about Rusty being left outside most days, though he does have a small shelter inside his pen.
Fellow neighbors Robert and Kathleen Hayes have taken the matter a step further.
Robert Hayes said he and his wife have been purchasing hay and grain for Rusty.
Ideally, a private home would be the best thing for Rusty, Caprigno said, a place where the gentle creature can live out his days as a companion or light-riding horse.
"Unfortunately, in these economic times, there aren't many takers," Caprigno said.
Robert Hayes said he'll continue to keep Rusty in his prayers.
"I've seen a lot in my 54 years in this neighborhood, but this one just breaks my heart," he said. "And I fear time is running out for this horse."

Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :Dlong sleeve, like so pro...
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :Dthere's been talk of shutting down the rat due to lack of interest, so i'd like some feedback with a view to possibly making a few changes.
1) we have the option of a gateway loop. still about 30km. more traffic, less strava seeking time-trialists. mid-ride stop at bulimba for cawfie and photos. 2) we can do a half riverloop. good: less distance, easier on the old bod if you're coming back to cycling. bad: back before cafe's even open. 3) later roll-out. would a 7am start suit more people? 4) move it to sunday. i'd like to hear from those of you who have considered coming along, or who have come along maybe once or twice. the regular mob can talk about it offline. if you have other suggestions, please lay 'em down too!
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DI like the 7.00am start as it would take me 1 hour approx to get to the start from Palm Beach, this means leaving around 5.45am which is far more agreeable than 4.45 am. So 7.00am would encourage me to come and meet you guys instead of reading about you.
Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk 2
Retro Riverloop Raturdays :D7:00 means even more traffic, both bicycle and vehicular. I'd say keep the 6:00/6:30 winter start, but take a less 'trafficy' gateway trip. Standard riverloop has become a bit tedious.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DI think move it to Sunday. Riverloop is getting a bit too dense and pushing it earlier means no shops are open unless the ride is longer. I'd be happy to try gateway Sat and Loop on Sun. Never tried gateway
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DI don't think anyone is suggesting an earlier start than the present 6:00. Never a problem with shop opening hours in my experience, but if the route were to be shortened, that may be an issue.
Riverloop is Riverloop. Saturday Sunday Weekday Denseday. Gateway has a view.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DRaturday is the good way to start the weekend.
6.30 or 7am start is OK for me if that is the concensus. Riverloop can get a bit repetitive but you guys always bring it to life. Sometimes I just have to escape to the hills but variety is a good thing. Maybe every now or then can take in the view from Mt Gravatt ?
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DIs Raturday on for 06:00 30 March, riverloop?

US citing security to censor more public records
Tuesday - 3/12/2013, 3:28am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration answered more requests from the public to see government records under the Freedom of Information Act last year, but more often than it ever has it cited legal exceptions to censor or withhold the material, according to a new analysis by The Associated Press. It frequently cited the need to protect national security and internal deliberations.
The AP's analysis showed the government released all or portions of the information that citizens, journalists, businesses and others sought at about the same rate as the previous three years. It turned over all or parts of the records in about 65 percent of all requests. It fully rejected more than one-third of requests, a slight increase over 2011, including cases when it couldn't find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the request was determined to be improper.
The AP examined more than 5,600 data elements measuring the administration's performance on government transparency since Obama's election.
People submitted more than 590,000 requests for information in fiscal 2012 -- an increase of less than 1 percent over the previous year. Including leftover requests from previous years, the government responded to more requests than ever in 2012 -- more than 603,000 -- a 5 percent increase for the second consecutive year.
When the government withheld or censored records, it cited exceptions built into the law to avoid turning over materials more than 479,000 times, a roughly 22 percent increase over the previous year. In most cases, more than one of the law's exceptions was cited in each request for information.
The government's responsiveness under the FOIA is widely viewed as a barometer of the federal offices' transparency. Under the law, citizens and foreigners can compel the government to turn over copies of federal records for zero or little cost. Anyone who seeks information through the law is generally supposed to get it unless disclosure would hurt national security, violate personal privacy or expose business secrets or confidential decision-making in certain areas.
The AP's review comes at the start of the second term for Obama, who promised during his first week in office that the nation's signature open-records law would be "administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails." The review examined figures from the largest federal departments and agencies. Sunday was the start of Sunshine Week, when news organizations promote open government and freedom of information.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz said in a statement that during the past year, the government "processed more requests, decreased the backlog, improved average processing times and disclosed more information pro-actively." Schultz said the improvements "represent the efforts of agencies across the government to meet the president's commitment to openness. While there is more work to be done, this past year demonstrates that agencies are responding to the president's call for greater transparency."
In a year of intense public interest over deadly U.S. drones, the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, terror threats and more, the government cited national security to withhold information at least 5,223 times -- a jump over 4,243 such cases in 2011 and 3,805 cases in Obama's first year in office. The secretive CIA last year became even more secretive: Nearly 60 percent of 3,586 requests for files were withheld or censored for that reason last year, compared with 49 percent a year earlier.
Other federal agencies that invoked the national security exception included the Pentagon, Director of National Intelligence, NASA, Office of Management and Budget, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Communications Commission and the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, Homeland Security, Justice, State, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans Affairs.
U.S. courts are loath to overrule the administration whenever it cites national security. A federal judge, Colleen McMahon of New York, in January ruled against The New York Times and the American Civil Liberties Union to see records about the government's legal justification for drone attacks and other methods it has used to kill terrorism suspects overseas, including American citizens. She cited an "Alice in Wonderland" predicament in which she was expected to determine what information should be revealed but unable to challenge the government's secrecy claim. Part of her ruling was sealed and made available only to the government's lawyers.
"I find myself stuck in a paradoxical situation in which I cannot solve a problem because of contradictory constraints and rules -- a veritable Catch-22," the judge wrote. "I can find no way around the thicket of laws and precedents that effectively allow the executive branch of our government to proclaim as perfectly lawful certain actions that seem on their face incompatible with our Constitution and laws, while keeping the reasons for their conclusion a secret."

It warms and cools our homes and schools, cooks our food, plays our music, and gives us pictures on television. Energy is defined as the ability or the capacity to do work. Use the POP Quiz before watching the BrainPOP movie "Forms of Energy" to see what students already know and talk about the different types of energy there are.Lesson Procedure:
- Have students create a two page brochure or flyer in Microsoft Publisher entitled 'Alternative Energy Sources' (utilizing Word Art, using BrainPOP as a tool for research.
- Explain what fossil fuels are and how they may harm the environment.
- Watch the BrainPOP movie Fossil Fuels.
- Try the POP Quiz again with students to assess what they learned.
- List and explain three alternative sources of energy.
- Invite students to give examples of products and services which can be run on alternative sources of energy.
- Watch the BrainPOP movie "Solar Energy". Use BrainPOP's interactive features (Activity Pages, FYI, Quiz) before, during, or after the movie to enhance the lesson.
- Have students insert clip art and images from the internet to illustrate their brochures. They should then edit their work using spelling and grammar tools and print.

Furled Too Tight
On a good day a furling headsail is like magic. You pull on the furling line and your sail is neatly rolled away until you need it again. At some point, however, most of us have rolled up our headsail in such high winds that it furls much more tightly than usual and we run out of furling line before the clew of the sail is wrapped away. This leaves a scrap of sail to catch the wind just when you don't want more windage.
Lots of people think the only way to solve this problem is to unfurl the sail, drop it, and then roll more line on to the furling drum. With many furlers, however, you needn't unfurl the headsail at all. If you can unbend the end of the furling line from the drum without disassembling it, it's easy to make adjustments. Just remove the line, manually twist the headsail (with the sheets still attached) until it is completely furled, then reattach the end of the line to the drum. Be careful not to roll up the sail and sheets any more than necessary. Having too much line on the drum may cause it to jump out and bind when the sail is unfurled again.

Furling line tension
Don't forget that many headsails encounter this problem because they were reefed late and under too much tension (often with the aid of a winch).When this happens to me, I like to fall off until the wind is over the stern, allowing the main to play all the way out. In this scenario, the main blankets the jib's airspace, allowing the crew to redeploy and refurl the jib in relatively calm conditions. This will generally alleviate the problem, and it has saved my bacon on more than one occasion during an unexpected gale. The only downside is the need for adequate leeway. The upside is the immediate fix to your problem without sending crew forward on a pitching deck.Rob Rich

PROVO, Utah (AP) – What is an Irish Taco? And Pot O'Gold Fruit Salad? These often are questions that Paul Crowley and his grandchildren hear when they run their taco concession business during Brigham Young University football and basketball games, among other events.
And for Crowley, the answer is an easy one – an Irish Taco is a taco with a recipe that Crowley has been making for more than 40 years. It's a soft fried corn tortilla stuffed with a combination of meat, onions, spices, sauces and jalapenos that is simmered for hours.
The tacos then can be topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, sour cream, taco sauce and lime juice.
Pot O'Gold Fruit Salad is strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, boysenberries, blackberries, peaches, pears, apples, pomegranates, apricots, oranges and bananas, in season, that are tossed together. The fruit then is smothered with fresh whipped cream that is sweetened with pure fructose and flavored with aromatic Mexican vanilla.
"The taco bashes have been something that has been a fun tradition for us," said Jason Kocherhans, Crowley's grandson and business partner. "Grandpa's tacos are delicious, and my cousin Adam Crowley and I decided that the tacos would be a great idea for a business."
"Everyone who has tried Grandpa's tacos has loved them," Adam Crowley said. "We knew this would be a good product that would be fun to sell and that people would love."
So two summers ago, Kocherhans and Adam Crowley told their grandfather they were going to take his tacos public. They started attending the BYU Farmer's Market and became quite a hit.
"We would have people who would show up and start lining up before we even got there," Paul Crowley said. "The tacos became pretty popular, so we were invited by BYU concessions to sell at the BYU basketball games in the Marriott Center."
From there, O'Crowley Irish Tacos were sold at basketball games, Womens Conference, Education Week, the Stadium of Fire and BYU football games.
Kocherhans and Paul and Adam Crowley recruit other family members, who are mostly Paul Crowley's grandchildren, and who are at least 16 years old – old enough to have a food handler's permit.
"We usually use at least four people for the football and basketball games," Paul Crowley said.
O'Crowley Irish Tacos serves at the Tahitian Noni offices in Provo.
"We get quite a lot of regulars at the Tahitian Noni Café," Adam Crowley said. "People tell us that they can't get enough and they wait anxiously for Tuesday to come around. We even get people who come to the football or basketball games and then go to Tahitian Noni on Tuesdays."
And customers can't seem to get enough of these unique tacos. On the business's Facebook page, customers have commented on just how much they love the tacos.
"Best kept secret food in the Marriott Center," a Facebook post by Steve Johnson said. "If you haven't tried the Irish Tacos you don't know what you are missing."
For now, the business is something Paul Crowley enjoys doing with his grandchildren as a hobby. He has been a real estate broker since 1975, but being an entrepreneur is something he loves.
And his grandchildren have caught the entrepreneur bug, too.
"I would love to go full-time with the business," Kocherhans said. "We have kept it small and run the business smart so that we have no debt. I have really enjoyed this. I love learning and I love being with my grandpa. He is such a hard-working guy. This is a legacy for him that he can pass onto his grandkids. It is the American dream."
"When I am done with school at BYU, we all hope to be able to make this into a brick-and-mortar business," Adam Crowley said. "We have been able to test the market through BYU concessions and the reaction has been great."

Clear Glass Pharmacy Bottles
Once filled with colorful tinctures and remedies, bottles like these lined the shelves of European apothecaries in the 19th century. They've since found new purpose in the bath or other areas of the home to equally handsome effect.

Do you accept payment in liquid form?
Already answered that. The smiley was picked VERY carefully. (And I've never had Barton).
I also believe in helping my fellow man, and have had two wonderful lessons in that this week from fellow SB'ers (who shall remain nameless, but they know who they are). So the answer is: at 84 proof, they'd get 335,422 bottles (of 750 mL each). But don't tell the Maker's Mark folks. It'll just be our little secret.
They are sequential. The first barrel emptied is number one, the second barrel emptied is number two. If there is a barrel number 997, then we know that at least 997 barrels have been emptied. That's exactly what it means.Just because a bottle came out of barrel #997, can we correctly infer that they used at least 997 barrels worth of bourbon in creating this year's SB offering?

Got it, it's just an incremental counter, and applies to the barrels emptied specifically for that bottling. I was incorrectly attributing to that "counting" number an equivalency to "serial number" (or some equivalent of a master ID for a given barrel), which is silly, now that I think about it.
Guess I've been brainwashed by looking at barrel ID's on 4R SB bottles.
Weekend Wondering: Wouldn't it be fun to have a bottle from the last barrel of each year? I wonder if anyone at the plant had that idea? [Total Geekdom]

The press samples are always from the first barrel, which makes sense because they are sent out a couple of months before the actual release. They usually have an event when the new vintage is unveiled and draw directly from barrel number 1, which is ceremonially opened. This little exercise we're doing here is as close as I've ever gotten to determing the last barrel. I remember when the 1997 came out, we were looking for barrels dumped after the date of the fire. They probably don't want to announce the number of the last barrel because, as I said, that's the equivalent of reporting sales, which as a private company they don't do.

I'll take any old barrel they choose to draw from, just wish I was on the invite list.
Don't feel too bad. I haven't been invited to one in many years.

Quarrier Corner: Opportunities abound for Dells students
Students have many academic and vocational opportunities at Dell Rapids High School. There are, of course, the required mathematics, English, science, and social studies classes. In addition, students are able to specialize with agricultural courses such as wildlife and fisheries or industrial technology courses like drafting or cabinetry. If those subjects don't interest students, they have the option of creating videos and websites or perhaps even studying media and film productions or profound tragedies in American History. The options students have are both many and varied.There is value in having choices; choices allow students to be unique, to explore new interests, and to build mastery in areas of study they are passionate about. We are always attempting to offer students meaningful and timely course choices. During the 2013-2014 school year, we are adding an additional course option. Students at Dell Rapids High School now have the opportunity to participate in a Service Learning course. In this particular course, students are assigned to a district staff member, oftentimes a teacher, and they work with that person throughout the semester. The process of working with a staff member begins with both individual and collaborative goal setting. Throughout the course, students will reflect on those established goals and work to achieve them.Although we are all familiar with both the terms service and learning, it may be helpful to better define the goals of our service learning course. "Service learning is a flexible method of teaching and learning that applies academic and real-world skills to create meaningful youth-led experiences with community partnerships. The goal of service learning is to empower youth to become engaged in their personal, social, and working lives." During the first semester, approximately thirty students are participating in this service learning course. They are partnered with teachers at the elementary school, the middle school, and the high school. Students are helping elementary students practice reading skills, making sure books in the library are ready for checkout, and facilitating correct and safe power-tool use in the high school shop. Some tasks students participate in may not seem as important as others, yet in every task, students are learning an important lesson. Regardless of the size of the task, they are helping someone to be more effective, more organized, more prepared, or more successful. They can take pride in the services they perform. As someone once advised, "Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes, those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts." In the midst of the information and skills our students are learning at Dell Rapids High School, perhaps one of the most valuable lessons they will take with them is to serve others. Through that service, they will be able to positively affect the world around them.

Slay Bells Ring
She ran through the darkness, her breath coming in short rasps, her heart hammering painfully against her ribcage. The lake was behind her and she could hear the water slapping against the dock pilings. She didn't dare stop to look back, although every fiber in her being wanted to do so. She had to get away from him, had to hide somewhere.
Her dress was in tatters, her hair a tangled mess around her face. It was becoming harder and harder to run, her legs didn't want to work, they felt weak and shaky. She could still feel the slap of his hand against her swollen cheek.
Get away…never look back…run…run.
"No! Leave me alone!" Erica Parkhurst shouted. She sat up in bed and frantically looked around her, still half asleep and unable to fully recognize her surroundings.
Next to her, Joe Lakota stirred and mumbled, "Hmm…what's that?" Then he sat up and turned on the bedside lamp, casting a soft, amber glow over the cozy bedroom. From the floor, Mingo whined and yawned, stretching as he stood. His coat was multicolored and thick. The eyes were amber, set in a face that looked like it wore a mask of gray. Part wolf, part dog, he'd been raised by Joe from a pup.
Slowly, Erica took in the sturdy furniture and the thick comforter that was now in disarray around her. She was safe, with the man she loved, in the cabin he'd built with his own two hands.
Mingo laid his head on her leg and searched her face with big soulful eyes. She absently rubbed the canine's head. "I'm sorry, Joe. I had a nightmare. But it was so real."
He scooted closer to her and put a muscular arm around her shoulder, pulling her against his bare chest.
Erica had met Joe when she first happened upon Spirit Lake in July. She'd been running from a broken marriage, looking for a place of refuge and solitude. One night's stay at the local bed and breakfast had turned into something much more, when she found herself embroiled in not only a murder investigation, but a ghost hunt as well. Months later, the inn's owner, Evelyn Black, had asked her to return and run the business while she recuperated from surgery. Erica had done so, bringing along Paula Bascilla, her best friend. Actually, Erica would have come without Paula if it had meant seeing Joe again.
"Want to talk about it?" Joe asked, kissing the side of her head.
She looked at him and smiled. His dark eyes studied her with concern. His Iroquois heritage gave his skin a coppery glow, especially in this lighting. She felt her heart flutter a little as he stroked her cheek with a fingertip.
She shook her head and felt some of her thick, coppery hair tumble over her face. He made no move to push it back. She knew why, he liked the way she looked when she was "bed tumbled" as he called it.
"It was just a dream." She smiled again.
"Maybe I need to hang another dream catcher," Joe whispered, nodding backwards toward the feathered charm dangling above the headboard.
"To catch and destroy my bad dreams?" Erica asked.
Mingo snorted as though in disdain and resumed his previous position on the floor.
"I don't think Mingo appreciates my interrupting his sleep," Erica chuckled.
"Why don't you tell me what's really going on, Erica?" Joe asked, his expression somber.
Erica stroked his chest lightly. "Well, let's see…Christmas is only three weeks away and tomorrow our guests arrive for the inn's very first--"
He interrupted, "I'm not talking about that. You know what I mean." He put a little distance between them and propped himself up on one elbow. He looked at her, waiting for an answer.
Erica sighed. "I've been having this recurring dream. I'm back in time I think, because my clothing is old fashioned. I'm being chased up the hill from the lake. I'm desperate and frightened. It gets all muddled after that." She thought for a moment. "Forget it. It's no big deal. It's probably just the stress of the upcoming events. That and all the research we've been doing on the inn's past."
"You don't think what happened in October has something to do with it?" He eyed her closely, worry creasing his brow.
She had to admit, he had a point. "We had some damage control to do after the murder of a guest, that's for sure. And that is why this Christmas event is so important. I just don't want anything to go wrong."
Joe looked at the window and pointed. "It's snowing again. Should be the perfect atmosphere for your guests tomorrow."
Erica got up, put on one of Joe's flannel shirts, which hit her slender frame mid- thigh, and went to the window. She sat down on the window seat that, just months ago, had held one of Joe's best kept secrets. The snow was falling in large, lacy flakes, covering the two inches that had settled over the landscape yesterday.
"Looks like the stage is set," Joe said, joining her. He'd brought the comforter which he now wrapped around them both.
They sat there for the next hour, snuggled together, watching the snow fall.
It's the holiday season and Erica Parkhurst, part owner now of the Spirit Lake Inn, has organized an event called Enchanted Christmas. The weeklong event was to be open to couples only, but again fate intervenes and things don't go as planned. Paula Bascilla, Erica's best friend, is now living with her lover, Cal Motega, but things are not on an even keel. Cal is harboring a secret he will not share with her, yet one that keeps him up nights and causes bizarre behavior that is beginning to frighten her. But soon, Paula makes a discovery that will change both of their lives forever. When the guests arrive, Erica is in for an unpleasant shock when one of them turns out to be someone from her past and another one is there to promote a business deal that could adversely affect the inn's future. Then when a guest is murdered and Cal arrested for the crime, Erica, Paula and Joe must get to the truth. In the meantime, ghostly activity is running rampant, involving the guests this time to the point where one is injured. Yet Erica and Paula feel they are getting closer to unlocking some of the secrets of the inn's spectral residents. Spend the holidays in Spirit Lake where more secrets are revealed, lives are changed and romance still blossoms against the backdrop of a winter wonderland.
