A review of the weekend's action in Spain's Primera Division.
Real Madrid made light of Gareth Bale's absence to cruise past Getafe 4-1 on Sunday.
Bale was denied a home debut after injuring a thigh muscle in the pre-match warm-up having initially been named in the starting XI.
After consulting with the medical team, Bale was replaced by Isco and played no part in the game.
Madrid fell behind to a deflected goal by Angel Lafita after five minutes, but Pepe equalised a quarter of an hour later.
Cristiano Ronaldo then put Madrid ahead from the penalty spot before Isco extended Madrid's advantage with a goal in the second half.
Getafe midfielder Michel, who had given away the penalty, was sent off for a second bookable offence with eight minutes remaining and then in the final minute of stoppage time Ronaldo added his second goal of the night, his 208th for Los Blancos, which meant he unseated former Mexico striker Hugo Sanchez as the club's fifth top goalscorer of all time.
Valencia ended a run of four straight losses in all competitions with a 3-1 home win over Sevilla thanks to a brace from Jonas.
The Brazilian opened the scoring in the 32nd minute and restored the hosts' lead 17 minutes from time following Kevin Gameiro's equaliser early in the second half.
Victor Ruiz Torre headed a third in the 82nd minute to seal a much-needed victory for Valencia which moved them up to ninth.
Villarreal remained unbeaten on their return to the top flight after playing out a goalless draw with Celta Vigo.
Celta goalkeeper Yoel Rodriguez was the busier of the two custodians, including making three important saves late on, but the home side were not without their opportunities either as the spoils were shared.
Real Betis were held to a goalless draw in an Andalusian derby at home to Granada, racking up their fifth point of the season.
Pepe Mel's side created a greater number of goalscoring opportunities than their opponents, having 19 shots compared to Granada's four, with goalkeeper Roberto Fernandez coming to the visitors' rescue on a number of occasions.
However, Granada boss Lucas Alcaraz will be ruing a chance that Youssef El Arabi missed late on that would have given them the points.
It was the hosts' second goalless draw in less than three days, following their stalemate with Lyon in the Europa League.
On Saturday, Pedro struck a hat-trick while Victor Valdes saved another penalty as Barcelona continued their 100 per cent start with an ultimately convincing 4-0 victory over battling Rayo Vallecano.
Spain winger Pedro netted in the 33rd, 47th and 72nd minute to put Barca in control and Cesc Fabregas added a fourth as Gerardo Martino's men made it five wins from five in La Liga.
Barca goalkeeper Valdes also played his part in the victory with a penalty save from Roberto Trashorras when the score was only 1-0.
That was the 11th penalty stop of Valdes' club career and the second in successive games having also kept out a spot-kick from Kolbeinn Sigthorsson during the midweek Champions League win over Ajax.
In the Saturday evening late kick-off, Atletico Madrid ensured Barca would not finish the day as outright leaders as they claimed a 2-0 win at Valladolid.
Raul Garcia opened the scoring 11 minutes into the second half and Diego Costa added a second in the 72nd minute as Atletico continued their impressive start to the campaign.
Real Sociedad are still without a win since the first day of the season after being held to a goalless draw by Malaga.
The match was low on incident and the best chances largely came from crosses into the box, with neither side able to capitalise.
The Basques struggled to break down Bernd Schuster's side, who enjoyed the better of the chances, but were wasteful in front of goal.
Almeria surrendered a two-goal lead in the second half to share a 2-2 draw with Levante.
The hosts went ahead through a penalty from Jose Antonio Rabasco 'Verza' in the 45th minute with Jesus Joaquin Fernandez 'Suso' doubling the advantage early in the second half.
Christian Fernandez was sent off for the hosts shortly after the goal and Nabil El Zhar put Levante back in contention with a penalty, before Pape Diop completed Joaquin Caparros's side's comeback.
On Friday night, Osasuna lifted themselves off the bottom of the table by beating Elche 2-1 at home to record their first victory of the season.
Emiliano Armenteros' goal after 15 minutes set Javi Gracia's side on their way to victory in the coach's first home game in charge, and Oriol Riera extended the lead just a few minutes into the second half.
Edu Albacar scored a penalty for the visitors with three minutes of normal time remaining to set up a tense finish, but the Navarrans held on to pick up their first points of the season and end a four-game losing streak.

American Airlines and Avolon Aerospace Leasing are seeking court approval for a sale-leaseback of six new Boeing aircraft.
The deal would include five 737-800s and one 777-300ER to be delivered between November 2012 and the end of 2013, according to a court filing on 4 October.
Avolon was selected for the deal for the "net proceeds to be received for the aircraft, the proposed lease terms and other economic terms" that it offered American, according to the filing.
The US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York must approve financing for each aircraft while American operates under chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The Fort Worth-based Oneworld carrier has received court approval and closed sale-leasebacks for 11 737-800s with AerCap since filing for bankruptcy in November 2011, according to the filing.
American has also closed a number of sale-leasebacks with International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) for 737.
The airline has deliveries for 43 737-800s and 10 777-300ERs scheduled between November 2012 and the end of 2013, according to the filing.
SkyWorks Capital advised American on the deal.

July 31, 2015
JERUSALEM (AP) - A United Nations official estimates that at least a quarter of the 400 Palestinians killed by Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip are civilians.
Maxwell Gaylard, U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator for the Palestinians Territories, says that another 2,000 people have been wounded and a "significant number" of the dead are women and children.
The U.N. told journalists Friday that despite the increased flow of humanitarian supplies, Gaza inhabitants still face a food and medical crisis.
Israel has said it has confined its attacks to Hamas militants to stop the firing of rockets into southern Israel.
Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni (TSIH'-pee LIHV'-nee) said Thursday in Paris that there was no humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Recipe by cloud2sunshine
"I liked these that a local restaurant chain made so much, I came up with my own take on this. Blackened chicken with a chipotle aioli and caramelized onion just complement each other well. These are good mini-sized or meal-sized. It's easy to prep ingredients ahead of time and just cook the chicken when you are ready. For large sandwiches, cut each chicken breast into 2 pieces."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

I may be biased as this was my recipe, but I love it. Yes, it can be a very spicy seasoning rub, but you can put as little or as much as youd like or use something different to suit your tastes as others have done. I am so glad so many people are enjoying this recipe!
This was a great starting point for a fabulous recipe! We used lemon instead of lime juice in the marinade, only 1 cup of white wine (per other reviews) and probably marinated it for only 6 hours, but it turned out perfectly. We used a blackening seasoning we already had and the chicken was the hit of our dinner party. We had lots of compliments on the aioli, though we did substitute ancho chili powder instead of chipotle due to availability. Thank you so much for the great recipe - these fabulous chicken sandwiches will definitely be making it into our regular recipe rotation!

The chicken is very tasty.
The overall taste is interesting (unusual and good).
But 5 stars? No. This isn't the sort of thing you make when your mother-in-law visits so that you can secretly smirk when she takes her first bite. This isn't as good as the best chicken sandwich I've ever tasted.
It's an above-average chicken sandwich that requires a considerably above-average effort and list of ingredients to put together. Definitely worth trying, but definitely not worth 5 stars.
Delicious chicken sliders! Messy but yummy! They had a great flavor although, not for the faint of heart when it comes to spice. One cup of white wine would have been plenty for the marinade. I only marinaded about 4 hours and it was still delicious. I'm sure it would be even better if it marinated overnight. The blackened seasoning was salty and spicy. I like a medium level of spiciness and next time I would cut cayenne in half as well as the salt. I served these on small onion rolls with arugula and sliced tomatoes.
These were excellent! I didn't change anything about the recipe as it was well written and very clear other than I used a smokey sharp cheese and mini ciabatta rolls that I brushed with olive oil and grilled a bit for some crunch. I have been battling some serious stomach issues and I didn't find these to spicy they had a good balance of flavor. We inhaled these and we will be making them again. So yummy!
The first time I made these I thought they were delicious, but my husnamd didn't care for them. This inspired me for a great sandwich the second time around, and it cut the prep time down to practically nothing, and my husband liked them even more. I was in a crunch so I skipped the marinade and blackended seasoning, and just seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and creole seasoning (you don't need much, as the mayo is already so flavorful). I replaced the onions with a slaw that added great crunch (bagged cabbage and added oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper and a bit of sugar). I then topped the sandwich with some thick slices of bacon and the mayo as written int the recipe and they were amazing! The mayo is incredible...definitely the star of the show and can make anything delicious!
I thought this was a cool idea! I used chicken tenders and made mini sliders. To get the best flavor out of the onions, you need to caramelize them slowly and until they're a rich brown. The chipotle was a nice addition too. Thanks for sharing. :o)
Recipe Group Selection: 06, April 2013 ~ We had 2 selections this week, this being one of them. My family loved these little sliders that I served on Hawaiian rolls. I did only use 1 cup of white wine (Pinot Grigio) in the marinade, but kept the other ingredients to the amounts listed. Everyone really enjoyed the chipotle aioli and the flavor that it added to the sandwiches. I served these with coleslaw and baked 'Chip Truck Fries' from AR. Recipe was a hit and will be a good summer sandwich that I look forward to trying on the grill. Thanks cloud2sunshine for sharing your recipe.

Southern New Hampshire University Endowment Fund and Investment Policy Guidelines
The objective of the fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation with a moderate amount of risk. The time horizon for the investment is long-term and will accommodate a strong commitment to equities to protect purchasing power. Portfolio growth is the objective – bonds are used for stability and diversification, with cash reserves at 11%. Mutual funds are a valid way to increase diversification of the portfolio as a whole.
Investment Policy
An endowment is crucial for the long-term stability and advancement of the University. The endowment enhances our scholarships, bolsters the stature of SNHU's faculty, strengthens undergraduate and graduate teaching, expands facilities, and supports special initiatives and programs within our community and communities all over the world. Southern New Hampshire University's endowment has benefited greatly from the generous loyal supporters and private foundations, allowing the university to become what it is today.
The key to the endowment's investment approach is the integrations of two components: managing investments for growth while preserving wealth. In the fiscal year 2006 – 2007 the endowment grew 26% or $3,625,365 (market).
The strategy of SNHU's Investment and Finance Committee is a prudent one, designed to ensure that future generations derive as much benefit from the endowment as do current students.
Endowment Value
Due to generous contributions through the years, in tandem with solid investment performance, the value of the endowment portfolio is considerably higher than it was just ten short years ago. On June 30, 1998, the endowment stood at $4,844,103. At this year's fiscal end (June 30, 2008) the value stood at $19,064.107.

Nine weeks ago, Charles Garcia was a disengaged student, keeping to himself in the back of the classroom. But since breaking ground on his latest school project, the El Paso Academy West senior can be found wielding a sledgehammer or behind the wheel of a bulldozer in the school's new garden, where he often works with classmates until long after the sun sets.
"What it's going to be is a garden labyrinth that'll provide food for the homeless," he said as he tinkered with an electric chain saw on Saturday. "We're recycling everything, using local compost and supporting local businesses."
The maze is the initial phase of a complex two-year environmental project that will transform the vacant lot behind the 190-student charter school into an elaborate 1.25-acre community garden and outdoor classroom, complete with garden beds, a chicken coop, a human sundial, a compost area and a keyhole garden.

San Francisco's KGO-TV (ABC 7) reports that a recently published study on great white shark counts off of California's central coast indicates that the number of white sharks is "surprisingly low."
The study was published in The Royal Society's Biology Letters. Researchers used photographs of dorsal fins to identify 130 unique white sharks at the Farallon Islands off Central California. An algorithm was then used to determine an estimate of 219 mature and sub-adult white sharks in Central California. The study notes that this number is "substantially smaller than populations of other large marine predators."
Other researchers have pointed out that since this is the first study of its kind in the region that there is no baseline figure to compare the estimated count to.
Chris Lowe of CSULB's SharkLab , quoted in a Discovery News, suggests that "using traditional marine mammal survey methods on a non-air breathing species" could result in lower numbers, since there could be a lower chance of seeing white sharks on the surface, as opposed to counting marine mammals who must surface to breathe.
Sean R. van Sommeran, of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation, also chimed in on the topic in the comments section of the Discovery News article and stated that "the figure of 200-300 hundred adults has been conventional wisdom among California Field Researchers since the late 1990s." He also went on to note that his research team has not seen "more or fewer" sharks since 1990 at the Farallones.
On a related note, the Shark Diver blog weighs in on the estimated numbers at the Farallon Islands, as well as count estimates at Isla de Guadalupe.

The Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary has recently posted a draft environmental assessment to analyze the impacts of issuing a permit to Dr. Michael Domeier of the Marine Conservation Science Institute, which would allow the tagging of 11 additional great white sharks (3 males, and 8 females) within the marine sanctuary, using the catch and release method that has been featured on National Georgraphic's Expedition Great White.
Dr. Domeier was issued a 1-year permit in September of 2009. During the 2009 white shark season, he and his team used the catch and release method to tag 2 male white sharks at the Farallones. However, a bit of controversy stirred up when one the tagged sharks was hooked in the esophagus, and the circle hook had to be cut and left in the shark. According to the draft environmental assessment, "the public and members of the other research teams studying white sharks in the region were concerned that the shark had died and that the tagging was being conducted primarily for a National Geographic television program."
It should be noted that the hooked shark made its normal migration pattern after the incident, according to data supplied from the tag, and that the tag was still reporting normal data 8 months after it was hooked. (see Southern Fried Science's interview with Dr. Domeier)
Supporters of Dr. Domeier's SPOT tagging methods argue that this research provides invaluable data, which cannot be gathered using other methods, and that the data could be beneficial to the species. Those who oppose these tagging methods argue that the potential gains simply do not outweigh the risks.
Regardless of which side of the fence you might be on, if you have genuine interest in this topic and are willing to read the environmental assessment draft, the GFMNS is open to your comments. Comments should be submitted to email@example.com until October 12, 2010.

The video above from NatGeoTV.com presents a theory that a killer whale from the L.A. Pod of orcas might have used tonic immobility during a 1997 attack on a great white shark at the Farallones. The theory suggests that the orca (identified as "CA2″) potentially rammed the unsuspecting white shark, stunning it. While the shark was still disoriented the orca could have either grabbed the great white while it was on its back or flipped it over. The orca could have then held the shark upside down in its jaws, keeping it in a state of tonic immobility until the shark drowned.
While there is no hard evidence or clear-cut video footage of orcas inducing tonic on sharks in the NatGeo feature, the video does include video evidence of killer whales attacking stingrays in New Zealand using a similar technique. As seen in the footage, the killer whales approach the rays upside and grab them with their mouths, then right themselves, so that the rays are upside-down and effectively immobilized. Researchers hypothesize that if orcas have learned to use this technique on rays, then it's not far-fetched to assume they could use a similar technique on sharks.
On a side note, some of the underwater footage of the "great white shark" in this clip features a shark that is clearly not a white shark. While I admittedly am not great at identifying certain species of sharks, I'm guessing the footage features either a lemon shark or a bull shark. Anybody care to enlighten me on the species seen at around 3 minutes in?
Thanks to DeepSeaNews.com for the video find.

Warning: Video contains somewhat graphic footage of shark finning and brief shots of white shark predation on a seal.
KQED aired the educational/information themed video "Great White Shark: The Man in the Gray Suit" back in April of this year. For a downloadable HD version of the video and more information, please visit the Quest website.
The video includes footage of white sharks at both the Farallon Islands and Isla de Guadalupe (although Guadalupe is never mentioned by name). The feature touches on topics including shark attacks and the "mistaken identity" theory, shark finning, migration patterns, shark behavior, and tagging programs.

According to the SF Weekly, Dr. John McCosker of the California Academy of Sciences included a tongue-in-cheek list of suggestions on how to be eaten by a white shark during his April 29th presentation, "Sharks: Why We Love, Fear, and Need Them."
The overall theme of the presentation was one of shark conservation. However, McCosker apparently attempted to add some comedic elements to the talk with his tips on how to increase one's odds for being involved in a white shark attack. His tips included…
While McCosker's tips were likely an attempt to keep the audience's interest piqued. None of them are really a surefire bet to cause a white shark attack, much less result in being "eaten" by a white shark. Even the abalone diver scenario at the Farallones isn't a guarantee for a shark attack, as can be seen in the video below featuring Ron Elliott's famous sea urchin diving among the white sharks there.

Charming rustic dwelling on Saaremaa Island
This over 100-year old house on the Estonian island of Saaremaa was purchased by Finnish designer, Ristomatti Ratia. Abandoned for years, the charming place is surrounded by fruit trees. Locals thought the home would be better torn down and a new house built in its place, but Ristomatti saw something in it that challenged him to preserve the historic dwelling. Some of the materials used in the restoration of the old home were scraps gathered from the surrounding landscape. Stone was collected from the nearby river and laid on the floors, the ceiling in the kitchen has sprigs of chestnut tree and the walls are decorated with Juniper. The beautiful home was transformed into an extraordinary atmosphere, full of nature and charm. Via

Haley naturally got involved in the Lake Placid Ski Club youth programs through NYSEF, where she developed an affinity for skiing, especially downhill. She went on to attend the nearby National Sports Academy to pursue alpine skiing at a higher level.
"It turned out that I really wasn't having fun with it anymore," Johnson said, "and at the same time, my Earth Science teacher, also the local NYSEF Nordic coach, Kris Cheney-Seymour, urged and encouraged me to give cross-country a try. I did, loved it, and made an immediate switch."
From there, she picked up biathlon, which combines cross-country skiing and rifle-shooting.
"I liked biathlon, mainly because it is something that I was then able to continue throughout the winter and train for in Lake Placid," she said.
Johnson said growing up in the Olympic Village provided just the right people and facilities to fuel her interest in traditional winter sports.
"I not only skied, but also tried speed skating and figure skating," she said. "I could have even pursued one of the sliding sports if I desired."
Biathlon stuck, however, and Johnson continued to compete while attending college in Maine. As her skills developed and she began qualifying for more international competitions, she gained more financial support and decided to train full-time at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid.
Johnson said competing overseas and traveling to other ski towns throughout the world has given her even more of an appreciation for the Adirondacks.
"After spending time training in Sweden, while at college, and in northern Maine, it was great to return home," said Johnson. "I've always believed that local support is the best support. Living at the Training Center also makes it affordable to train back here. And now I know I am training in the best place possible."

Syrian President Meets with Palestinian President in Cairo
Syrian president Bashar Assad and Palestinian President Yasser Arafat met Saturday evening to discuss the current events, sources told Albawaba.com.
The sources said that the two leaders "discussed ways to recover coordination between the two sides." They added that President Arafat informed Assad of his "wish to visit Syria," and he received "an initial welcome"
In a report Saturday Albawaba had quoted former speaker of the Palestinian National Council, Khalid Fahoum, who said that he expected that the gaps in the Syrian-Palestinian relations would be bridged during the two-day Arab Summit, which ended Sunday at noon.
The Syrian president also met Saturday with Deputy Chairman of the Iraqi Revolutionary Council, Izzat Ibrahim. The 30-minute meeting focused on bilateral relations between the two countries, and the current regional developments, said the same sources. But they added that the meeting did not cover coordination regarding both sides' stands at the summit.

A new antique store has opened up at 107 W. Main Street in downtown Elkin.
Kim and Mark Smith head up Antiques on Main and bring more than 22 years of experience.
"I love antiques; (I'm) totally am into hand made items too," said co-owner Mark Smith. "What's special about antiques is that you can buy items and use it, stuff you can't find in a big box store."
"I like character in the items," said Kim Smith. "I like seeing pieces that you can use."
Both are familiar with Elkin.
"Elkin has a great downtown, especially with its location," stated Kim. "I grew up my whole life in Surry County and lived and went to school in neighboring Dobson."
"I grew up in a tobacco farm in Benham," said Mark. "I've spend plenty of time in Elkin. It's a great city and we love the people and downtown community."
The couple admits that it can be a difficult business, especially in today's economy.
"We're here though. We're making the investment, and we're staying for the long haul," said the couple.
The business owners have already began to sub out the shop to local antique dealers who rent booths in the store.
"Doing so brings variety," said Kim. "Not everyone likes pieces that I like. Now they have options."
The couple has experience 'picking' too, an antique term given to dealers who shop an pick items of interest. One such item is a dresser from the 1830s, a mahogany piece with extreme craftsmanship and dove tails.
Items are being shipped into the store gradually, informed the owners.
A prized personal possession to the Smith's is a wooden sugar firkin, a tool used by bakers of the 1700's. The item was picked in Virgina.
"It's a primitive measuring device for bakers," said Mark.
When asked how you would make use of the item today, a grin-filled Mark responded, "You set it on your window as a decoration and look at it."
Antiques on Main is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM and on Sunday from 1:00 PM until 6:00 PM.

UNICEF welcomes the new Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes
Maputo, 22 December 2005 - The Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes which recently came into law, is one of the latest major achievements for millions of infants in Mozambique. UNICEF praises the Government for this firm step and urges for continued commitment to protect, promote and support breastfeeding.
The Code, jointly approved this November by the Ministers of Health and Industry and Commerce, is a result of many years of advocacy efforts which included UNICEF support to the government in drafting the document. In order to effectively protect and promote the breastfeeding, the new code regulates essential aspects regarding the marketing of breast milk substitutes and strongly recommends that they only be used when absolutely necessary.
Even in the midst of the severe drought Mozambique is facing for the fourth consecutive year, breastfeeding must be promoted as vital for the health, nutrition, survival and protection for every infant.
"In emergency and disaster situations breastfeeding is usually the only way to guarantee safe feeding for infants. Breastfed children are also the most likely to survive when epidemics occur", said UNICEF Representative, Leila Pakkala.
Breast milk alone is the ideal nourishment for infants during the first six months of life as it contains all the nutrients, antibodies, hormones, immune factors and antioxidants an infant needs to thrive. It protects babies from diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections and stimulates their immune systems.
Leila Pakkala observed: "today it is clearer than ever that exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continued sustained breastfeeding with introduction of complementary food make a significant contribution to the survival, health, development, nutrition and emotional well-being of the young child".
The risk of mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS through breastfeeding is a major challenge in countries like Mozambique, with high HIV/AIDS prevalence rates. However, once accompanied by the provision of necessary testing and counselling, the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is crucial for the healthy growth and development of infants.
Article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child states that governments must ensure that all sectors of society know about the positive benefits of breastfeeding. In this regard, UNICEF supports the favourable policies adopted by the Government of Mozambique to protect, promote and support breastfeeding, including the International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes, baby-friendly hospitals and health care to ensure the best practices on breastfeeding.
"Breastfeeding is a fundamental component in assuring the right of the child to food, health and care. Governments and communities should embrace and support this right", said Leila Pakkala.

The Grand America: Part Two
This hotel requires two posts.
Missy said she overheard someone saying they dug crystals out of the ground especially for these chandeliers.
Just who "they" are, and just "where" this alleged "ground" was, I never exactly heard.
I'm dubious, is all.
I wanted to just live in the lobby. But they didn't allow holey yoga pants down there.
It was early. Very, very early.
Now, if I can only get to the bottom of what made me sneeze 9,000 times during my 36-hour stay in Salt Lake, I'll start making my arrangements to move into this hotel.
Think they'll let me bring Charlie?
He should fit right in around here. I'll just park him next to the flowers and maybe no one will notice the turtle stench.

My husband and I stayed at the Little America across the street for our honeymoon (it was before the Grand America was built). I know you like the way it's furnished, but my husband felt like he was at his grandma's house– let's just say that it affected the "mood". We should have gone to the St. Regis. ; )

Wendy Anderton On Saturday, November 7 at 12:10 am
For the dubious, there are many, many crystal sites very near Salt Lake, Being a rockhound who grew up in the SL Valley, The geology is very condusive to finding them easily. A little more work, and finding them for the chandeliers is completely believable. I used to collect hundreds of quartz crystals every year, just for kicks.
Staci On Saturday, November 7 at 12:12 am
Yep, change his name to Charles, park him by the chair, and he'll fit right in! LOVE the hotel tour! can't imagine how long it takes the cleaning people to keep all that clean..ugh!

The handsome young man behind the front desk reminds me of someone I used to date decades ago.
I can't wait to see what your room looks like. I can not even begin to imagine after seeing the lobby pics. (Remember everyone keeps telling you to put the toilet lid down before you take your pictures! haha)
I so appreciate your taking us all along on the tour with you. I have social anxiety and do good to make it to the grocery store these days. I kinda get the feeling that you are enjoying stepping out of your comfort zone. I imagine myself being able to do that, too, someday. Can you believe its' been 8 years since I was able to go to church? You do give me hope, PW. I thank you for that.
Sally On Saturday, November 7 at 12:33 am
Im STILL waiting for your Tempe post, which means you are probably still here so you dont want roadies! Sorry I missed you on Thurs. Hubby in Queens, NY and my girl was not up for it. She did want to meet you and knows your blog. She had testing that day and was beat. AND we were at Gordan Biersch on Mill the night before with friends from St. Louis. She was wiped out. Ok, LIKE YOU CARE???? We were going to get her a cookbook too. We have a gift for you but I will mail it off later. Hope it was a great turnout! Buying and sending your cookbooks out for xmas!

xomecha On Saturday, November 7 at 1:16 am
I just saw you on 11-5 in Tempe, AZ. I was the one with the weird name "Mecha". I just wanted to tell you how nice it was to see you, to see how genuine you are and it was really refreshing to see that you didn't think of yourself as a celebrity but just a regular down home gal. Thanks for that! I really wanted to tell you to not be nervous because you were among friends but I think I ended up making some lame joke of some sort ….anyhoooobeans. Thanks for taking a picture with me anyhow.
Trish On Saturday, November 7 at 1:20 am
I am so proud of you! What a hard thing to be away from your family like this. It is most excellent the in-laws are a long. Thanks for being so generous with your spirit.
Sheryl Anderson On Saturday, November 7 at 1:33 am
HI Ree, so happy you enjoyed your trip to Salt Lake City. We live about 2 hours north . I am a transplant from So. Calif, and I love living in Utah. A great place. My daughter & I had hoped to have you authograph our new copies of your cookbook. But medical problems kept me from joining in on all the fun. At least I have the cookbook!!
Laurie in MInne*NO SNOW*ta On Saturday, November 7 at 1:48 am
You could become like Eloise, living in the Penthouse at the Plaza Hotel in NYC…
So…form and function or luxury for the MN trip? This is one stop where you should actually bring the punks with you, the MOA has so many cool kid friendly things, and the hotel there with the Waterpark for them would be great!
But if you're going for luxury, you need to go to either of the downtowns…The St Paul Hotel in…well, St Paul, or the Chambers or W in Mpls. But the hotel in the City Center has these awesome 2 story suites! So many choices, so little time in each city!!
Young Wife On Saturday, November 7 at 1:51 am
So very posh! I'm just curious. Was it very quiet? Did you whisper or speak in your regular voice?
Sheri O. On Saturday, November 7 at 2:38 am
When do you move in? Do they allow punks???
Theresa Castro On Saturday, November 7 at 2:46 am
Just beautiful! I think I'd hate to check out of this one.
Denise Claire On Saturday, November 7 at 2:49 am
Ree, I met you at the Denver signing. I don't think I even introduced myself, (like you would remember me out of the hundreds of people you are meeting anyway), nor did I have you personalize my book, but we talked briefly about Compassion. I spoke with Missy and your MIL too and I'm kicking myself for not thinking to ask them to sign the book also. I did get their picture. Anyway, just wanted to say how much fun I had at your signing and how wonderful it was to meet you in the flesh.

Wow that is amasing I can't believe that we have anything like it over here in th UK
Jacqueline Strawder On Saturday, November 7 at 4:06 am
YOUR hotel tours are great …..it "gets me out of the house" for a minute…lol.
Heather On Saturday, November 7 at 4:14 am
Knowing that the inimitalbe Pioneer Woman rocks the holey yoga pants makes me feel better about wearing them every day.
Sara On Saturday, November 7 at 5:15 am
I know you are craving your home about now! I'm tired FOR you! Thank you for showing us what most of us would never see otherwise. You're a good woman, Charlie Brown.
Nezzy On Saturday, November 7 at 5:20 am
This Ozark farm chick loves her holey yoga pants and the rockin' hotel tours that take me away from the antics of the Ponderosa for a few minutes. Yep, away from the cows, soybeans and keepin' the Strongbacks (farm hands) fed. Ree, I'll just call ya Calgon……take me away!!!!
Thanks for sharin' and have a fantastic trip filled with blessings 'round every corner!!!
Cathy Shea On Saturday, November 7 at 5:35 am
I would NEVER judge anyone in holey (Holy) yoga pants!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is On Saturday, November 7 at 5:45 am
Denise Lamb On Saturday, November 7 at 5:53 am
Beautiful place to hang your hat.
The Hotels on your tour are fantastic.
Wished my daughter had been staying a few days more in Tempe so she could have gotten to meet you.
Bush Babe (of Granite Glen) On Saturday, November 7 at 5:54 am
Wow… I would stay hiding in my room, it's so very…regal!
On a contrasting note: my sister and I just cooked your steak with whiskey cream sauce, twice-baked potatoes (with corn on the cob and wilted spinach)… for our hubbies (us too, natch). And they RAVED… Sensational!!

OK Kellie On Saturday, November 7 at 6:07 am
Regarding Charlie's turtle stench and the flowers? Sorry. But I expect that would be like all those cans of Lysol dad sprayed after exiting the bathroom in the morning. TMI and TMS all the way around!… (and sorry. know/heard it's not appropriate but I LIKE those what-is-considered extraneous dots)
SQ Linn On Saturday, November 7 at 6:09 am
Fabulous! Gorgeous! I love to travel but, don't typically get to stay in such splendor….
Name that movie:
"Joe moved into a hotel because… Why did you move, Joe?"
Monie On Saturday, November 7 at 6:43 am
My cookbooks came in the mail yesterday! At last, I have it, I've read it cover-to-cover, it is fabulous beyond words, and I feel the love and attention to detail you put into every page. It is the BEST COOKBOOK EVER, and I am sure it will be 'reprinted' many, many times in the years to come. What a wonderful accomplishment! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Monie On Saturday, November 7 at 6:45 am
Oh, and for the record, I think Charlie would, could, possibly, maybe raise his eyebrows if he were to stay at this hotel! Maybe…
Cindy On Saturday, November 7 at 6:46 am
I believe you were suffering from the cottonwood trees, they are notorious for making you sneeze. When I lived there that's what everyone complained about, the sneezing and the cottonwoods! Other then that I LOVE UTAH!
Jess On Saturday, November 7 at 7:00 am
It's like a palace!
beckie D. On Saturday, November 7 at 7:01 am
Hi Ree , Thanks for sharing your book tour with us who can't be with you. The places you are staying are beautiful! I need to show my hubby that these are the kind of places I would like to try. Just ordered your book. Can hardly wait to see it!!
I'll bet the kids and MM can hardly wait to see you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I have a feeling that you are loved alot anyways. Just watched the cackle again. Love it when it says,"You want it" Oh yeah!! Have fun!!
Journaling Woman On Saturday, November 7 at 7:04 am
I have to have me one of them there lobby chairs…maybe one of them there chandeliers. Beautiful.
beckie D. On Saturday, November 7 at 7:05 am
I just noticed Missy standing in the lobby. What is she looking at? That guy? And the guy at the desk, why is he leaning over? Are you behind something taking your photo?
kathleen On Saturday, November 7 at 7:08 am
Wow! You have shown us some really beautiful hotels!I think having Missy andM(Marlboro)Mom must have made that much more enjoyable.As for me, I think Charlie would fit in anywhere.Those soulfull eyes those stubby legs!Have a good rest at home, just brace yourself for the stampede of man,punks and animals!!The best part of going away is always the coming home.
Sarah On Saturday, November 7 at 7:35 am
LOL Ree..he would look good there!! Wonderful place! Looks like you are having fun!!! Whoo hoo!! Sarah
Mary Beth On Saturday, November 7 at 7:35 am
WOW! just like my house- NOT!
thanks for fixin' your main page banner.
Going to buy your book for xmas presents today.
Never answered my question as to:
do cows bite?
Can I send you a nephew for next summer- he needs some serious seasonin' …
love your tour.
Ronda On Saturday, November 7 at 7:35 am
Seriously? Don't they have any Double Trees on this book tour? These are all gorgeous beyond belief. I'd have to think twice about going home at all.
Lana On Saturday, November 7 at 7:36 am
Yeah.. My house looks just like that. LOL
Natashya On Saturday, November 7 at 7:37 am
What a gorgeous hotel!
Liz On Saturday, November 7 at 7:38 am
Crystals actually come from the ground. All of them. Except for artificial crystals. Now that I have that off my chest……the hotel is gorgeous!
LBDDiaries On Saturday, November 7 at 7:49 am
But wait! If Charlie is living in the hotel, there will soon be NO turtle stench coming from him as I doubt there are turtles living there, too. But the again, ya just never know! A turtle might have gotten away from some little boy and is living in that huge gorgeous flower arrangement! Thank you for sharing your hotels with us – this is such a great way to see them.
Pam Webb On Saturday, November 7 at 7:50 am
Love all the Hotels that you pick to stay at. Just beautiful. Also wanted to tell you, that I liked your changing banner at the top of the pages, getting fancy on us.
SharonK On Saturday, November 7 at 7:55 am
WE are impressed!
Just looking at these pictures has me feeling all royal…or something.
Amy On Saturday, November 7 at 8:02 am
Thanks for keeping it real, Ree!
Still waiting for what Mike said into the microphone!
Kate On Saturday, November 7 at 8:05 am
Beautiful. Thanks again for sharing all this.
And I hate turtle stench. Frito feet are so much better.
Jennie On Saturday, November 7 at 8:05 am
How fun to see all these hotels! and yes, crystals usually come out of the ground.
Slyeyes On Saturday, November 7 at 8:06 am
The look on the guy's face at the front desk cracks me up. Not a fan of motels; LOVE hotels!!
Mamadallama On Saturday, November 7 at 8:11 am
Love the virtual tours! As I sit here in my jammies with my hair sticking up all over the place.
Carole On Saturday, November 7 at 8:12 am
Swanky digs Miss Ree!
kim-d On Saturday, November 7 at 8:23 am
Oh my! This hotel is intimidatingly beautiful…
Turtle stench? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
becky up the hill On Saturday, November 7 at 8:23 am
The hotel tours are fab. I love a beautiful hotel, thanks so much for letting us have a peek into this one.
Diane W. On Saturday, November 7 at 8:24 am
I never had allergies until I moved to Utah either. Now, I'm a mess. LOL I think it's because we essentially live in a bowl, surrounded by mountains, and it's hard for the pollen and whatever other crap sinks to the bottom, to escape. Try coming in the winter (for a ski vacation…you don't have to ski, you could just stay in the hotel spa)….that should take care of the allergy problem. OR, the middle of the summer. Not too bad then, either.
carol On Saturday, November 7 at 8:29 am
I can see Charlie lopped over one of those golden chairs.
LPinAZ On Saturday, November 7 at 8:29 am
Good Morning Ree! We all had a blast in Tempe meeting you Can't wait to see the post from AZ. I am currently unemployed (by choice!) and would love to be your personal valet on your road trip (husband said I need a part time job!). You are having way too much fun and the digs are lovely…oh, and still serious about Cowboy Josh meeting my niece Leslie Anything is possible….look at how your life turned out!!! Who wouldn't want that?!?!! She is a tried and true cowgirl Thanks again for being such an enjoyably swell and fun person (Missy too). Lisa
Theresa in Alberta On Saturday, November 7 at 8:40 am
WOW! Talk about "old world" elagance!!! Just hiring the staff to perform house keeping duty would put a stop to any economic recession in that area!! I would only stay as a guest if charlie came with the room
Pamela On Saturday, November 7 at 8:44 am
WOW…..! What an incredible Hotel.
Turtle Stench cracked me up – such is life in the country!
Kaybi On Saturday, November 7 at 8:48 am
We used to have our work party there every year. It was a blast!
Jennifer On Saturday, November 7 at 9:05 am
Oh. My. That is definitely my style. I don't mind contemporary, but this is where I'm at home.
Mommassoapbox On Saturday, November 7 at 9:09 am
Speaking of turtle stench. i have that at my feet and the sounds of licking……over and over and over and over…
Love the hotel…. Beautiful….. I don't think my Rugrats would fit in well and if you can't have holes in your yoga pants I'm sure the don't want me there in my Mickey Mouse pajama bottoms….with or without the holes.
Cassandra On Saturday, November 7 at 9:14 am
Funny, looks a lot like the Sun Valley Lodge…which Mr. Holding also owns…
*twinkie* On Saturday, November 7 at 9:17 am
I wouldn't worry about Charlie's turtle breath. I'm sure the hotel could provide someone to brush his teeth. Check with nice looking guy at the desk.
Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing!
Kristin On Saturday, November 7 at 9:29 am
Yes, "wow!" With the bathrooms and this lobby, I'm sold! ~K
Deb On Saturday, November 7 at 9:31 am
Now this is my kinda hotel!!!
Peggy On Saturday, November 7 at 9:43 am
just so you know…the sunday brunch is AMAZING!!
Dee On Saturday, November 7 at 9:44 am
OK, I could easily live in a place like that, if everyone took their shoes off at the front door. LOL That hotel interior reminds me of Biltmore House – a great destimation for anyone in the southeast!
nancypants On Saturday, November 7 at 9:45 am
I hope you don't catch a nasty bug from all these meet & greets! Hope the sneezies are gone with the wind.
Angela Hill On Saturday, November 7 at 9:52 am
I love this hotel. My husband's former company used to hold thier Christmas parties there. We've since moved, and I can't wait to see you in Kansas City. Have fun.
Sheila On Saturday, November 7 at 9:55 am
Wow! That's all I can say. Oh, and I think someone would notice Charlie. Definetly.
Jenn On Saturday, November 7 at 9:57 am
What a beautiful hotel. Charlie would love it.
Linda in Linden,VA On Saturday, November 7 at 9:58 am
Really enjoying your hotel tour, however I don't care for this hotel at all. Way to gaudy, fake, gold spray everywhere. uncomfortable furniture (a real lack of padding). Just my opinion-it's what makes the world go round. I still like traditional style. Sure wish you could come to VA for your tour! Love your site and your cookbook! Many happy's to you.
Jessica On Saturday, November 7 at 10:14 am
Don't you LOVE The Grand America? My husbands grandma takes the family to the Little Grand America (across the street) for a Christmas breakfast a week or two before Christmas. Their breakfast buffets are amazing!!! and They are packed every year. If you ever are there around Christmas, eat some brunch there, you won't regret it.
Beautiful pictures!
Livin' Louisiana! On Saturday, November 7 at 10:16 am
Utah does everything perfectly!! Did you meet fellow blogger Nie Nie.
Barb On Saturday, November 7 at 10:17 am
I am so glad you liked our great city…..we definitely liked you.
Renee On Saturday, November 7 at 10:29 am
Rag Weed…that's what made you sneeze. It's been a terrible allergy season…..the worst in many years thanks to demon "Rag Weed".
Ruth Ann On Saturday, November 7 at 10:31 am
My cookbook arrived the other day………loved your hotel tours! Today's posting looks like something out of a mansion of long ago! Loved the look on the man at the desk……I'm sure he was wondering if security was needed by his expression. What a stick in the mud!
Welcome home!!

Natalie Nourigat & Cat Farris appear on Friday, April 15th, 2011 from 8:00-11:30PM
Press Release:
Drink & Draw Like a Lady returns to Portland for a second year Friday, April 15 at the Hollywood Things From Another World (TFAW) at 4133 NE Sandy Blvd., Portland, OR from 8:00 p.m. to midnight.
This is a very special women-only event! All ladies–whether they create comics, love comics, or just want to learn more about them–are invited to take part in some female positivity, as well as complimentary hors de'oeurves, beer, and wine (with valid I.D.).
Founded in 2009 by Hope Larson as a pre-MoCCA event and organized this year by Lucy Knisley, Drink & Draw Like a Lady is an excellent opportunity for women to sketch, socialize with the local comics community, and network. Do you have minicomics and business cards to share? Bring 'em! Are you new to comics and want to get the female perspective? This is the perfect event for you.
Periscope Studio artists Cat Farris and Natalie "Tally" Nourigat are spearheading the West Coast edition this year. "There are so many incredible female creators, editors, and fans of comics in Portland," said Farris. "It's the perfect place for an event like this–we were really happy about the energy it generated last year."
"I grew up reading comics in the '80s and '90s," said TFAW Marketing Manager Elisabeth Forsythe, "but there wasn't really a female support system for me back then. I'm so happy there are so many women in comics today, and that TFAW can host an event of this stature."

- Summer Life in Whitley County
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Whitley County Dazzlers is a special needs cheerleading team in its second season.
Coach Vanessa Bills decided to offer cheerleading to special needs students so they can ŌĆ£experience the uniform.ŌĆØ
The cheerleaders have various disabilities and varying degrees of speech and movement capabilities. Bills said that there are some challenges when working a cheer routine around those handicaps, but the participants grow in confidence and become more vocal and more mobile.
ŌĆ£When I coached cheerleading at high school a while back, I could never get the girls to stop talking,ŌĆØ said Bills. ŌĆ£Now, sometimes I have girls who canŌĆÖt talk, but when it comes down to it, they are just like other teen girls. They laugh and giggle and talk about boys and clothes.ŌĆØ
Cheerleading routines are set to music and the group moves around in formations and even performs some stunts and lifts.
ŌĆ£To let them feel like they are doing something other cheerleading groups do, helps them feel ŌĆśnormal,ŌĆÖŌĆØsaid Bills.
Last year the group performed in local events and this year the number of dates have increased. Bills said that parents wanted to open up opportunities for the group. The team will appear in Fort Wayne and in Columbia City events such as Walk for Autism and the Passages, Inc. annual meeting.
Some of the events take place in Indianapolis. Bills said when she told the group they were going to Indianapolis for a meet, she was enthusiastic about giving the group a bigger venue.
As the cheerleaders rehearse, they are getting exercise and in turn, Bills said that lifts attitudes and gives the participants an overall health benefit.
The other benefit to the Dazzlers organization is the support it provides for parents. Bills said that parents come and watch practices and do the things that normal athletic parents do...ŌĆØsit in the stands and gab.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I think it is good for them to not feel so isolated in the day-to-day stresses that come with their situation. They have formed friendships and I think the practices give them a little bit of a break,ŌĆØ said Bills.
The group is open to newcomers and is free. Bills said that local grants have covered most of the costs for the practice space at the YMCA and uniforms.
Bills said, ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve been really lucky to get grants from HANDS and from the Whitley County Community Foundation. However, the more we do, the more money it is going to take. The goal is to keep the costs to a bare minimum. The last thing I want to do is to add more to the plate for parents.ŌĆØ
Any child in grades Kindergarten to 12th can join the group. The degree of special need is not judged. Bills said she welcomes anyone who feels the group might be for them.
ŌĆ£The practices are open for anyone who wants to check it out,ŌĆØ Bills said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve had many parents and their kids come and watch a few practices to see if it is something they feel comfortable with.ŌĆØ
Bills operates the group with a number of helpers. She said that there is a two-to-one ratio right now, which makes it a safe and comfortable environment for the kids.
Practices are held at the YMCA in Columbia City Saturday from 2 to 3 p.m. For more information, contact Bills at email@example.com or call the Whitley County Community Foundation at 244-5224.
