Intuitive eating sounds like the bees knees, doesn't it? Let your body tell you when it needs fuel, give it just as much fuel as it asks for, and call it a day.

These were the nicest people I think I have ever encountered staying in hotels. They were very helpful and the hotel was very clean. I will be staying with them again.
nothing it was great.
The smell of smoke in the room
They didn't have any breakfast left when we went down at 8:30 AM. My husband went down at 9 for more coffee and they didn't have any ready. We had to go out for breakfast which we didn't budget for, we were only there for one night.
I liked the fact that it was in my home town when I had to go back for a funeral...the staff was helpful and friendly...
The friendliness of the staff. Everyone made you feel welcome. It was right on the highway, close to eating establishments. Service station across street. Refrigerator and microwave in room. Continental breakfast was great. Comfortable and affordable.
Bed a little hard but slept good.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The location and clean
I asked for a first floor room since I'm handicaped and have trouble with stairs, said she didn't have one. After going to room on second floor room and it wasn't ready, she then had a first floor room. Why did she not just give it to me first.
The staff was personable, helpful and prompt to correct an issue.
The continental breakfast could use a little diversity for diabetic guest. There was never fresh fruit when I went in to see what was offered that morning.
The room had a refrigerator.
The shower curtain in my room appeared to have mold or mildew at the bottom and corners. One evening when I returned my bed had not been straightened and the used towels were still piled on the bathroom floor.
It was conviently located and very quite.
A/C was not very good. Room was cool, but not cool enough for us. We almost went and bought a fan, circulation was not the best and a/c seem to cut down at night.
Very helpful staff, good breakfast & clean rooms.
Location: it was half way between my two destinations.
I had a non-smoking room reserved, and when I arrived, I got my room key and went to my room. The beds were unmade, and there was trash and beer cans all over the room. I immediately went back down to the front desk to get another room. First, the clerk looked on her computer screen and said 'I'm looking at the room via the camera and I don't see anything wrong'... WOAH!!! Camera in the room?? Seriously? That's an invasion of privacy. When I asked 'What do you mean camera?' she quickly changed the subject and never answered me. She said there were no other non-smoking rooms available and I would have to take a smoking room, and a price increase of $10 more dollars per night. I said no, there must be something else, I don't want a smoking room. She then said that there was one non-smoking room left with a jacuzzi, but it was $25 more per night. I told her she can give me that room at the rate that I was originally promised (which she did). I only stayed one night of the 2 nights that I had initially reserved, and will NEVER go to Days Inn in Fordyce any more. Not sure how many other hotels have cameras in the room, but I'm certain Days Inn in Fordyce does and there's no telling what the employees are doing spying on people.

Anita Dunham-Potter says the pocket-sized digital music phenomenon is a big hit with cruise travelers.

Hotels strive to keep the noise level down

Ditch these travel double standards

Being Valentine's week, I surprised the girls with a field trip to Theo's Chocolate Factory. Theo's is the first Organic, Fair Trade, Bean-To-Bar Chocolate Factory in the United States. They sell one of my favorite hot chocolate mixes, Chipotle Spice Sipping Chocolate. I am a HUGE chocolate and chilies fan. They craft all their bars and confections on site and there are always interesting new seasonal flavors. We brought these two bars home for Zig. He loves both figs and curry and everything's better with chocolate, right?
Love the whimsical artwork on the wrappers.
We received quite an education on chocolate and I don't think the girls will ever look at it quite the same again. In fact, as they were opening the box of chocolates Zig gave them on Tuesday, they were talking about how these beautiful little truffles started as big green pods on a tree halfway around the world. There are so many steps that go in to producing chocolate and the process was fascinating.
The tour began in a classroom type setting where we learned a little about the company, their business practices, where their farms are located, what it means to be fair-trade, etc. We in walked a couple minutes late just as the first sample was coming around. I could see Nina, my little chocophile, getting excited. The woman leading our tour was talking about this particular chocolate in such a beautifully descriptive way. She said this was one of their Costa Rican bars and the girls looked at each other and smiled with anticipation. She also mentioned this bar was one of their darker bars at 85%. I whispered to Nina to take a small piece as it came around, but she took two little pieces and quickly put the first one in her mouth. The look on her face was priceless. The girls like dark chocolate, but I think it will be years before they appreciate straight up 85%. After she swallowed it, she quickly leaned over and asked if I could save her other piece for Rollin. Always thinking of others, that Nina!
There were many other samples along the way, and our favorite was the Bread and Chocolate Bar with little tiny pieces of buttered toast inside. What a treat and at 70%, the girls were happy. I wish I would have taken more photos of the factory because it was so cool. Huge colorful machines, very clean and industrial. We ended the tour in the gift shop, naturally, where we sampled even more varieties of chocolate and chose some of our favorites to bring home to enjoy later.
Nina and Sela rockin' the hairnets.
The girls chattered in the backseat all the way back home about all the things they learned, their favorite chocolates and how cocoa nibs taste like bark.

Crumbling Kimball Castle may be demolished; supporters hope for its restoration
The Kimball Castle in Gilford, built in 1897 by concord railroad magnate Benjamin Kimball and photographed in 2003. At the time this image was made there was ten year restoration project to clear trees for the castle to be seen from points on Lake Winnipesaukee, such as the Governors Island Bridge, and will also keep the castle from deteriorating further. (Concord Monitor photo/Elaine Skylar)
Kimball Castle in Gilford may not have a fairy-tale ending worthy of its once-majestic walls.
Town officials deemed the castle on Lake Winnipesaukee unsafe in April and presented the owners with the option to either demolish it or secure it behind a fence. Renovating the castle has always been an option as well, but Gilford Town Administrator Scott Dunn said that would require a huge amount of money.
"It would take some massive amount of private resources to restore it," he said. "The town certainly doesn't have the resources to do it, and the town doesn't own the building."
Town records list the castle's owner as Kimball Castle Properties LLC, and Dunn identified the heads of the corporation as David and Mary Jodoin of Nashua. The Jodoins assumed ownership of the property in 2001 and could not be reached for comment.
Dunn said officials gave the owners the ultimatum after an assessment of the structure revealed its dangers earlier in the year.
"There are pieces of the building that are falling off," he said.
The town originally gave the owners a June 15 deadline, then granted them a 90-day extension, bringing the deadline to mid-September. Dunn said the owners have obtained quotes for fencing and demolition, and have been issued a demolition permit by the town as well.
The owners are also trying to sell the castle. The property was listed on Realtor.com on March 1, and is priced at $799,000.
Gilford historical author Carol Anderson said Benjamin Ames Kimball commissioned its construction in 1897. Kimball, a prosperous and noteworthy Concord resident, served as director of the Concord Railroad and as a member of the New Hampshire Executive Council.
Kimball was fascinated by the Lakes Region, which prompted him to purchase 300 acres on Lockes Hill and construct the castle for his summer home.
"Materials and supplies were brought in from Germany and England, and no detail was spared," Anderson wrote in an article for the Citizen of Laconia earlier this year. "Approximately one hundred stonemasons from Italy contributed their skills and talents to the construction process during those two years. The castle and its well-landscaped grounds became and remained by far the most impressive summer estate in the Lakes Region."
Now the owners are seeking someone new with a keen interest in the Lakes Region to save the castle. The castle is listed as a single-family home on 20 acres, but the listing says the property is also zoned for resort or commercial development, which has been a point of contention with preservationists.
According to the castle's website, Charlotte Kimball, the last descendant of Benjamin Kimball to own the property, stipulated in her will that the land could never be used for commercial development. When she died in 1960, the website says, she left the property and several hundred thousand dollars to a charity, with instructions to create a nature preserve.
But the preserve was never created and the land was passed from the charitable trust unit of the attorney general's office to the town of Gilford, which did not want to spend public money to restore it. In 1990, the website says the town convinced the state attorney general to remove the rule against commercial development and subdivided it, creating Locke's Hill Nature Preserve on 260 acres, and leaving the 20 acres that encompasses the castle as private property.
A Facebook page promoting the preservation of the castle posted a link to a Change.org petition titled "Save Kimball Castle in Gilford New Hampshire.: Restore or Rebuild it Brick for Brick." The petition's author is listed as Granite State Paranormal, and it has garnered 559 supporters. The petition's creator could not be reached for comment.
"The castle has stood there since 1899 and the last member of family who built the castle has specific wishes for it and never seen them come true," the petition says. "She should be honored and the castle remain standing and her wishes of a nature preserve be fulfilled. This castle holds so much history and it should be shared not destroyed."
Dunn acknowledged the concerns, but said the town was largely unable to help.
"We're certainly disappointed in the fact that it hasn't been well cared for, but other than our disappointment there's really not much we can do about it," he said.
Maggie Stier, a field service representative at the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance, agreed it was a tough situation. While the castle is a wonderful building, she said the alliance realized it would be difficult to save it.
"It was once a very
significant building, and while we would like to save everything, this site has particular challenges because of the condition of the building," she said.

I have a question about the recipe "Chocolate Dump-It Cake" from Food52. May I use a bundt cake pan instead of 9 in tube pan?
From Our Friends
powered by ZergNet
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
I use them interchangeably, just make sure you grease your bundt pan well, I have found that if I don't it may get stuck in some spots.
I also use them interchangeably often, but my bundt always browns my cakes slightly more than my tube does.
Amanda is a co-founder of Food52.
Thanks sdebrango and ATG117 for jumping in and answering -- I missed this yesterday. Lauren, I hope the bundt worked out well!

Nation Observes All Saints' Day
The celebration of All Saints' Day on November 1 is part of an enduring Philippine tradition, particularly for Catholics, who make up an estimated 85 percent of the Philippine population. On this day, as well as on All Souls' Day on Nov. 2, the Filipinos pay honor and respect to their departed loved ones, through masses, prayers, candle lighting, and flower offering.
In the Philippines, the occasion is popularly called "Todos Los Santos" or "Undas." It is a day of remembrance, an important holiday, next to Christmas and Holy Week. For most Filipinos, remembering those who passed on is both solemn and festive. It is imbued with age-old practices and customs. Families attend Masses, offer prayers, and spend time in memorial parks. It is an occasion to foster close relations, to reunite with long-lost relatives and friends. It is the time to recall the good deeds and legacies of a loved one.
These are various ways to remember loved ones: Offer up prayers and masses, offer flowers and light candles at the cemetery, and revisit photos and videos of loved ones. On the eve of All Saints Day, families in some provinces observe "pangangaluwa," that go from house to house, a practice that is believed to bring peace to a departed loved one. …

Small and powerful doesn't always mean light weight.
Small and powerful for me is my S&W 686+, but light weight it's not.
Next step in small and lightweight would be my Kimber Pro Crimson Carry II, lighter and close in power.
Dropping down in size and weight would be my S&W Model 36, smaller and lighter, but not as powerful.
Go rent and try a few, choose what you like best.

Regardless of what you carry, know how to use it in a hurry.
Practice scenarios and participate in informal IDPA shoots.
You'll be much better prepared for an emergency.
Remember: "In a crisis, you won't rise to the occasion, but default to your level of training."
I am in the woods allot ( my families property & back backing in the PNW. (WA,OR,N ID, & NW MT ) I always carry a revolver. Most often it is one of my 4" S&W .357s ( 66 or 686 ) My daughters also carry likewise (inducing mounted )
In bear country I carry a .44 mag.
IMHO, a semi auto is not the ideal "field" weapon.

The Double Tree in downtown Cleveland was a great place to stay especially if you're visiting the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum. We purchased the Rock N Roll package which included: 2 admission tickets, a very good buffet breakfast for 2 in their restaurant, stadium 3, (they threw in an extra breakfast for our daughter at check-in) and self-parking in the attach garage. The Chocolate Chip Cookies they gave you at check-in were extremely good.

My favorite chess game in Linux though is Pouet Chess. The computer fights quite effectively in this. Depending on the setting of difficulty, the system can take anywhere from two to ninety seconds to make a decision on a move.
Playing against pouet Chess is harder than other game or person that I have ever played. I personally recommend this game for anyone really interested in chess.
The board and pieces are also beautifully designed, more so than in any of the other chess games, including the two that refuse to run on my current system.
I will probably add more to this review later, but for now I will just add a few pictures. Have fun everyone.

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
Self Portrait of Paul (DeMarinis)(2003) is a "self-portrait" in which the recorded voice of sonic artist Paul DeMarinis defines the image. A sequence of his pre-recorded vocal tones are received from across the room by a microphone and then decoded, illuminating the digitally stored image of DeMarinis on a grid of LED lights. The high tones transmitted by the piece represent white and low tones represent black slowly building a sensory portrait that resonates not only the physical attributes of the artist, but also his voice and personal relationship to sound.
Static Room (2003) is a two-channel video installation of an abstract composition created from manipulated static with an audio track generated directly by the same signal - the flickering, strobing image itself. The resulting space immerses the viewer in an ephemeral synesthetic environment where one can hear the image and see the sound.
Scott Arford is one of the leading figures of new media arts in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has produced numerous works for sound and video including multichannel installations, live performances, CD and DVD projects. He was awarded an Honorable Mention in the 2005 Prix Ars Electronica. Arford has shown his in numerous venues including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Dissonanze 7 in Rome, Italy; LUFF Festival in Lausanne, Switzerland; Observatori Festival in Valencia, Spain; the Sounding Festivals in Guangzhou, China and Taipei, Taiwan; the LEM festival in Barcelona, Spain; Liquid Architecture in Melbourne, Australia; the Festival de Video/Arte/Eolectronica in Lima, Peru; Sonic Light in Amsterdam; and the Center for Contemporary Arts in Kitakyushu, Japan.
Arford received a Bachelor of Architecture from the College of Architecture and Design at Kansas State University in 1991. He is currently an instructor at the California College of Arts in Oakland, CA.
Light Turned Down (2001), one of nine collaborations from the D-Tonate DVD project, features a soundtrack composed by Scanner for a single channel video projection of a hypnotic tunnel of light created by distorting and re-processing live footage of traffic lights presented at Eyebeam's What Color does a Sound Make? exhibition.
Scanner - British artist Robin Rimbaud traverses the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, creating absorbing, multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways. From his early controversial work using found mobile phone conversations, through to his focus on trawling the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol of the place where hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge, his restless explorations of the experimental terrain have won him international admiration from amongst others, Bjork, Aphex Twin and Stockhausen.
Friction Sticky Rough (2003) pairs video monitors displaying computer generated three-dimensional forms with musical structures based on the interaction of sound particles. The resulting installation creates parallels between a type of sound composition called "nonstandard synthesis" and scientific principles that analyze molecular particle interaction in terms of the attributes known as "friction," "stickiness" and "roughness."
Fred Szymanski is a sound and image artist who lives and works in New York City. His works have also been performed at many festivals including SonicLIGHT 2003 (Amsterdam) and the 2000 ICMC (Berlin). Group shows that have featured his sound and image work include the Abstraction Now exhibition (Vienna) and BitStreams at the Whitney Museum of American Art. He has composed audio works for CD with releases by Asphodel Recordings, JDK Productions, and Soleilmoon Staalplaat. His piece FLUME was part of "An Anthology of Noise and Electronic Music from 1952 to 2004" (Sub Rosa (Belgium)). His Cd NOZZLE was released by Asphodel in January 2004. The multimedia piece FLEXORS was selected at the 34th IMEB (Bourges, France). FRICTION STICKY ROUGH, an installation for multiple image projection and loudspeakers, was premiered at the Diapason Gallery (New York) and included in the show "What Sound Does a Color Make?" at the Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology (New York) in 2005.
Recognized internationally as one of the most important artists of his generation, Hill has been working with video and sound since 1973. His intermedia use of text, speech and image explore the physicality of language and our thought processes. Hill creates complex installations which often solicit the viewer's active involvement to the point of "completing" the work.
Gary Hill has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, most notably the prestigious Leone díOro Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale in 1995 and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant in 1998. His work has been included in six Whitney Biennial exhibitions since 1983 and in Documenta IX where one of his most ambitious works, Tall Ships, was premiered. His video, sound and performance work has been presented at museums and institutions throughout the world.
Shooter explores the theme of immersion in games. The visitor enters the chamber and is surrounded by the ambient sounds of a gaming arcade. In the center, a mirrored cube emits laser beams that weave a web throughout the space. Upon tripping a laser, visitors find themselves incorporated into the game, experiencing what it feels like to be the target. As with any game, you always lose.
G.H. Hovagimyan is a digital artist. He is one of a number of pioneering artists in New York who began working with the internet and new media in the early nineties. Peter Sinclair is a well-known European sound artist who lives in Marseille, France. The two artists have collaborated together on several works since 1996. Their collaborative works have been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Marseille and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon, France. Their piece, A SoaPOPera for Laptops, received an honorary mention in the computer music category at Ars Electronica in 1998.

Very Gigerish, but with your own style firmly stamped upon it. One of your best works.
thanks so much! i really liked how this turned out, and the monochrome was really the only way to go to show off the form.
Yea, I think a lot of your monochrome pieces are your most successful, it helping to accentuate the forms, like you say.
I like this. It reminds me of a gargoyle bowing its head in preparation for a coming storm or something.
oh, neat. honestly it's one of the most abstract pieces i've done, so it's hard for me to see much beyond the forms.
I love blabbing about my interpretations to you; it makes me feel smart and philosophical and ninja-y, lol
wow! absolutely love this piece!
Wow, excellent, beautiful artwork
love it!
nice concept !

- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1. Cook linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the scallops, sweet red pepper, garlic, pepper flakes and salt in oil until scallops become firm and opaque. Remove from the heat. Drain pasta. Serve scallop mixture with linguine. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Yield: 2 servings.

The Alaska Native Medical Center has a brand new, hybrid operating room.
The hospital is the state's highest-level trauma center and the new addition -- part operating room, part angiography suite -- provides state-of-the-art technology in how the trauma department can treat patients.
"For some very specialized procedures and some very seriously injured patients, occasionally, the best place for them is a place where you need both things," said Dr. Frank Sacco, chief of general surgery and trauma director at ANMC.
He said the leading cause of death for Alaskans under the age of 44, is death by injury. Many trauma cases end up at ANMC regardless of whether or not a patient is Alaska Native.
A special X-ray system in the operating room operates by using a lower dose of radiation. It allows doctors and nurses to use medical imaging to look at blood vessels and other areas inside the body. The machine is mounted to the ceiling and can move 360 degrees around a patient on the table, taking rapid X-rays and images while using a lower dose of radiation.
"When you bring in a patient and there's a lot of folks around that patient you need to be able to move equipment out of the way but then also move it back in very quickly," said Laura Mullin, surgical services nursing director.
She adds the advanced technology allows for more minimally invasive techniques to treat Alaskans. Patients who require cardiology procedures will now be able to have those performed at ANMC, instead of Alaska Regional Hospital or Providence Alaska Medical Center.
"This will certainly make it more convenient for the patients who prefer to stay at ANMC when possible," said Dr. Matt Schnellbaecher, the center's head of cardiology.
The new OR is directly above the emergency department, which now makes ANMC the hospital with the quickest route from the ER to the OR-- only two to three minutes, said Mullin.
The new area was being sanitized on Tuesday in order to be ready to put to use on Wednesday.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that she was changing the federal leadership of the oil spill operations. Adm. Thad W. Allen, the commandant of the Coast Guard, is now directly overseeing the work of Rear Adm. Mary E. Landry, who had been in charge of the response. Admiral Allen was in charge of the federal response to Hurricane Katrina.
In his first daily briefing, Admiral Allen emphasized that capping the well was the priority.
"Estimates are useful, but we are planning far beyond that," he said. It doesn't really matter, the admiral said, whether it is 1,000 barrels or 5,000 barrels a day that are leaking.
Asked whether the slick was affecting shipping lanes and other offshore drilling operations, Admiral Allen said that disruptions had been minimal.

DEAR BUNGIE, GIVE US THE ABILITY TO TOGGLE 1ST/3RD PERSON PERSPECTIVE AT ALL TIMES! Seriously though, wouldn't that be awesome? Maybe not in PvP though, that's not right.
CarlSenpai8/30/2014 5:17:42 AM PermalinkI'd love that as an option. I'm slowly getting out of FPS games because I'm just bored of looking at only a gun. I'd rather see my character grow from when I start. And I don't see why it wouldn't be great? It's still going to be an FPS for those that want it, but some of us want to play in Third. More love for the whole community, and probably more sales.
yolifeendsnow9/1/2014 8:29:42 AM PermalinkPlease. I agree 1003%. Why not right? I honestly would play in 3rd wayyyyyyy more than 1st. I hope they see this lol.

The n00banater8/29/2014 8:41:08 PM PermalinkI like features you can toggle incase you like one of the options over the other. As far as going in 3rd person goes, I might like it when it the tower or just exploring, but I don't think I would be in 3rd person too much in crazy combat.

"A great escape from the busyness of life!"
Our family enjoyed the beauty of this cabin in the beauty of Branson, MO. The spacious cabin allowed our family of 4 plenty of room. The huge master suite and whirlpool tub granted us a mini vacation within. We absolutely loved the outdoor hot tub! Nothing like relaxing while watching the beauty of nature or the stars popping in the night sky. There is also nearby frisbee golf, a park and pool to enjoy. It had all we needed as well. The cabin is close enough to enjoy the Branson entertainment and far enough to escape. We would definitely stay at Cross Timbers again!!

"Wonderful cabin so we will be back!"
We went the day after Christmas for the weekend to spend some time away with my family and couldn't have picked a better place. The accommodations were great everything you would ever need to prepare a meal and entertain. The beds were comfortable as well as the pull out couches. The loft was a great bonus for the kids! Would love to stay again maybe when the weather is nicer so we can enjoy some of the ammentities.

"Everything you need!"
Thank you, Lauers, for sharing your beautiful cabin with us! It was just perfect.
First let me say that Dana was great to work with. Quick to communicate and, as we made our reservations very close to our actual trip, she was extremely accommodating with our needs and situation.
The location of the cabin is great if you want to be away from the craziness of Highway 76, but close enough to take part in everything Branson has to offer. We have stayed at condos and cabins which were essentially bare upon arrival. This cabin, however, has everything you need to get your vacation started. There is a convenience store not five minutes away and a large grocery that is about a 10 minute drive. All of the essentials, along with coffee, salt and pepper, a few other simple items, and even some non-perishables were available in the pantry. (There is plenty of hand and dishwashing soap, but you will need to bring shampoo/conditioner, etc.) There are plenty of pillows, blankets, sheets, and a generous number of towels for both bathing and enjoying the hot tub. If needed, the washer and dryer is a great bonus.
The cabin is beautiful, exactly as described online. It is tastefully decorated, exactly as you'd think a log cabin should be, while still modern and updated. The appearance this cabin shows that it has been extremely well cared for- amazingly clean inside and out.
We stayed over spring break with our five children. The hot tub, stock of games including a huge checker set, and a few other toys were a huge hit. The Kids brought some toys with them and only time we turned on one of the televisions was to watch a DVD one evening when it was raining. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their own bed and hang out without being on top of each other. The lure of the loft, however, was too great for them and they all piled up there together to play and sleep. This is definitely the stuff memories are made of!

"Relaxing Stay"
We were looking forward to our stay at Cross Timber cabin and we weren't disappointed. The cabin itself is lovely, furnished with upscale furniture and nicely decorated. It was also spotless. The grill and hot tub were favorite features. It wasn't cold enough to use the fireplace, but I have no doubt it would've made a cozy setting.
Dana Lauer, the owner, was wonderful to work with and her check in instructions were clear and concise.
I would recommend this cabin to friends and family without hesitation. It was a very relaxing and soothing setting for a lovely weekend away.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. The hot tub is always a favorite---any time of year. I hope you'll be our guests again, and thank you for taking the time to share your review with others.
"Great Getaway"
What a beautiful cabin to relax and enjoy time away from "real life." We enjoyed the quaint cabin and beautiful view. We were able to enjoy some fun in Branson and then retreat to the cabin to watch movies, play games, soak in the hot tub, run the trails, and just spend time together as a family.

"It was Grrrrrrrreat!!!!!"
Stayed at many Resorts, but to have a cabin to yourself was wonderful. It was very comfortable and I couldn't think of anything that I needed that wasn't provided. It is a beautiful cabin.
Just far enough from Branson that you didn't get into allot of traffic, and still close enough to get there when you wanted to. There was so much to do close to the cabin.
Would stay there again.

grand rapids, michigan
we were so relaxed in this log cabin with all furnishings and personal extra items that were
like you would find in a five star resort. We were near all sights..they supplied up to date
info on all local shows and sights to see. The kitchen was large with plenty of room to cook
and feel right at home. The sheets and towels ere to quality...the cabin was immaculate.
There were extra things to make it feel like home away from home...like popcorn maker
with popcorn..books, games, magazines. Tv in everyy room. Cat wait to go back again!

Can snakeheads harm humans?
Most snakeheads will avoid contact with humans. However, when guarding their eggs or young, they can become aggressive if approached. One species, the giant snakehead (Channa micropeltes) native to southeastern Asia, has been reported to be aggressive toward humans who got too close to their nest. Other snakeheads are not as aggressive toward humans.

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
Frances Mayes entered a wondrous new world when she began restoring an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. There were unexpected treasures at every turn: faded frescos beneath the whitewash in her dining room, a vineyard under wildly overgrown brambles in the garden, and, in the nearby hill towns, vibrant markets and delightful people. In Under the Tuscan Sun, she brings the lyrical voice of a poet, the eye of a seasoned traveler, and the discerning palate of a cook and food writer to invite readers to explore the pleasures of Italian life and to feast at her table.
"Stunning. Kephart's lyrical prose lingers with you long after the final page. I simply didn't want it to end."—Ruta Sepetys, author of the New York Times bestseller Between Shades of Gray
"As this delicate and luscious novel unfolds, the lines are blurred between love and loss, past and present, real and magical, and even life and death."—Kathryn Erskine, author of National Book Award winner Mockingbird
"'Dreamlike' is one word for Small Damages…[Kenzie's] percolating story emerges through Kephart's lilting prose in the same hazy way you'd meander through the narrow white streets of Seville…The novel is a story about choices…but also about finding one's self." —New York Times Book Review
" Kephart is a linguistic Midas — everything she puts to paper is golden, including this gem." —Family Circle
"[Kephart's] prose is nearly poetic… it all works to create her own vivid style." —Romantic Times Book Reviews
"This beautifully written 'summer of transformation' story will have readers feeling as torn about Kenzie's choice as she is." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Lovely and unusual—at once epic and intimate." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"A magical story." —VOYA
"Beautifully told, the characters' stories are soulful and compelling, and the setting is rich and alive." —SLJ
"Kephart has created a lyrical, beautiful story about a young woman at a turning point, struggling to reconcile her choices, find her place in the world and discover the true meaning of family." —BookPage
"As soon as the book ends, we want to begin it again." —Shelf Awareness
Frances Mayes—widely published poet, gourmet cook, and travel writer—opens the door to a wondrous new world when she buys and restores an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. In evocative language, she brings the reader along as she discovers the beauty and simplicity of life in Italy. Mayes also creates dozens of delicious seasonal recipes from her traditional kitchen and simple garden, all of which she includes in the book. Doing for Tuscany what M.F.K. Fisher and Peter Mayle did for Provence, Mayes writes about the tastes and pleasures of a foreign country with gusto and passion.
2. Mayes writes of the traumatic experience of selling one house and purchasing another on various occasions in the United States. Why is the purchase of her house in Italy so qualitatively different from her other experiences with home ownership?
3. "The house is a metaphor for the self," Frances Mayes writes. Discuss some examples of this, both in her life and in your own.
4. What makes Mayes's writing style effective? How does her particular voice make her descriptions come alive? What images did you find to be particularly striking?
5. What are some of the qualities of Italian life that contrast most sharply with American culture? Which aspects of Italian life did Frances and Ed find it important to incorporate into their own lives? Which aspects would you have been drawn to?
6. How does the experience of purchasing and renovating Bramasole impact Frances and Ed's relationship, and how does their interaction affect their shared experience of buying, owning, and living in Bramasole?
7. How does the author change as the book progresses? How are her changes reflected in her tone and in her writing?
8. Mayes's house is called "Bramasole," which literally means "yearning for the sun." However, soon after she purchases the house, Mayes dreams that its real name is "Centi Angeli," or "one hundred angels." Discuss the ways in which this proves to be a premonitory dream. What are some of the other discoveries made throughout Bramasole and its grounds that lend a magical feeling to the house?
9. What role does food play, both metaphorically and literally, in the sense of delight that deepens Mayes's relationship to Tuscany and the house itself?
10. Mayes often portrays life in Cortona as timeless. How does she also convey that the timelessness is in many ways just an illusion? How does the "sense of endless time" affect her household?
11. What is Mayes's philosophy about the friend who speaks disparagingly of contemporary Italy and says it's "getting to be just like everywhere else--homogenized and Americanized" (p. 110)? How does Mayes's response address globalization in general?
12. Mayes's loving descriptions of food, her recipes, and her gardening tips add sensuality to the book, but what are some of their other functions in Under the Tuscan Sun?
13. What is Mayes's advice to readers who have "the desire to surprise your own life" (p. 191)? How would you respond to this impulse? What are some of the benefits and drawbacks to the time of life Mayes chose for embarking on a major change? Discuss some of your own turning points and "forks in the road."
14. Although Under the Tuscan Sun isn't a novel, would you say that in many ways it reads like one? If so, what is the spring, the inner tension, that propels the book forward and shapes its form?
15. Besides presenting us with wonderful descriptions of food, scenery, and people, what is the other major impetus of Under the Tuscan Sun?
16. As the book draws to a close, Mayes asks rhetorically, "Doesn't everything reduce in the end to a poetic image--one that encapsulates an entire experience in one stroke?" (p. 256). In your opinion, which image or scene best "encapsulates the entire experience" of Mayes's time in Italy?

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Gooden, Maggette expected to play
Denver – Bucks forwards Drew Gooden and Corey Maggette, who have both been sidelined the last two games, are both expected to play when the Bucks take on the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night.
Coach Scott Skiles, though, said that he would not alter the starting lineup which means that Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Ersan Ilyasova will start at forward, John Salmons and Brandon Jennings at guard, and Larry Sanders at center.
Carmelo Anthony, who has been bothered by the flu, returned to practice Tuesday and is expected to play for Denver. He is the team's leading scorer, averaging 23.8 points per game.
The Nuggets have won four in a row and six straight at home. The Bucks have lost six of their last seven.
"We've been struggling to say the least," said Skiles. "At some point we have to have a nice, solid win against a quality team and we think this is a very good team. So this is a big test. We just need to start playing well ourselves."

St. Fillan Neish Island St. Fillans Chapel Dundurn Hill
Beyond the chapel lies Dundurn Hill. Like many place names in the Highlands, Dundurn derives from the gaelic tradition of simply 'saying what you see': Dundurn, or dun dórn, means 'Fort of the Fist".
Although it may require a bit of imagination to see it now, this fist-shaped hill was once the site of a very important castle.
During the 6th-8th centuries, in the time of St. Fillan, Scotland was a divided land, split between the kingdoms of Dal Riada and the Picts. Now, it just so happened that the ancient frontier between these two kingdoms almost cleaves the modern-day St. Fillans in two.
Dal Riada, the Scottish-Irish kingdom which stretched upwards through the Western Highlands and Western Isles, had its easternmost frontier at the end of Loch Earn. Beyond this lay the kingdom of the Picts, with their stronghold of Dundurn maintaining the western frontier.
Climbing to the top of the hill, one can appreciate the strategic importance of this site. With superb views all the way up Loch Earn, or Loch of the Eireann (or Irish) as it was understandably known to the Picts, and equally good views of the Strathearn valley drawing in around it, the fort was well placed for launching and anticipating cross-border raids.
Stories relating to the hill are few, but it is believed that the Pitcitsh King Giric breathed his last here in 889 A.D. Giric, or Gregory the Great as he became known, was an important figure in his time. Various accolades and achievements include successor to Kenneth MacAlpin, legendary first king of Scots; liberator of the Scottish church from Pictish oppression; and conqueror of Ireland and half of England. Embellished as some of these feats may be, it is nonetheless an enchanting experience to stand atop Dundurn Hill, looking out over the mountains and the loch, and reflect that this was the last sight ever to be seen by such a figure.

The Cocktail Lounge at the Zetter Townhouse is a pretty big deal. The interior, designed by Russell Sage, appears more like a private clubhouse or home than it does a cocktail lounge. With plush armchairs, roaring fires, and full bookcases, it would be the perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink.
Tony Conigliaro is responsible for the tasty cocktails, known for his unique approach and recipes. He likes to design his drinks around the area's distilling history, creating cocktails influenced by old recipes for herbal remedies, bitters, and tinctures.

The School Story
Natalie's best friend, Zoe, is sure that the novel Natalie's written is good enough to be published. But how can a twelve-year-old girl publish a book? Natalie's mother is an editor for a big children's publisher, but Natalie doesn't want to ask for any favors.
Then Zoe has a brilliant idea: Natalie can submit her manuscript under a pen name, with Zoe acting as her literary agent. But it's not easy for two sixth graders to put themselves over as grown-ups, even with some help from a couple of real grown-ups who are supportive but skeptical. The next bestselling school story may be in their hands—but can Natalie and Zoe pull off their masquerade?

Dear Friends,
The moment that salutation appears, you know what's going on: It's a letter, and someone hopes it has reached you.
We write a letter, send it off, and then we trust it arrives, hope it gets opened and read and thought about. It's that way with a book as well, and my new novel, Extra Credit, is no exception. Plus, this book has a special kinship with letter writing: it's built around a pen pal exchange between two sixth graders–a gi

Depression Taking Its Toll On MeSalut. This is all new to me since I'm a recent member in this site... I'm really not used to posting personal stuff and sharing it.. Especially from where I come from (the middle east), I'm just brought up to being more discreet and secretive.. But this site is special since no one knows one another. And so, it's much easier for me to open up and vent!
I'm just in this phase where I should start focussing on getting into uni, and just go on with my life like any other normal person. But I got depressed since I dont know what to major in... And that has taken two years from my life.. All my friends are 2 years ahead of me. And that truely bothers me and I'm quite down all the time. That and the fact that I'm gaining weight like crazy - I am considered obese now!!
Those two combined together have changed the person that I used to be. I used to be soo energetic, friendly & enthusiastic about anything new - mostly like any other teenager.
My parents aren't making it any easier. They think that its harder for them - facing the public - than it is for me!
Lately, I have been staying at home. Eating and watching tv. What a life! My freinds have abandoned me. Every one going on with their lives and uni.. And i do not blame them. And so, I too keep a distance from them. I just hate it when they ask me: so how about you? You applying to uni?? What arre you doing?! And the questions just go on and on.. Why are they judging me?! What are they benefiting from all of this?! They are just adding on my agony! And i do ignore them and ask of them to just change the subject.. To no use. You can see their "questionable eyes" while they stare at me! Wth?!
And in three months time, I have my entrance exam - I'm going to apply to a uni but I am afraid from the fact that I might not get accepted cuz of the racism that's so dominant from where I come from - and so, I haven't started studying!!
Sometimes I think that my life is falling apart.. But then - and here is where I contradict myself - I look around and see that my family is beside me... That these two years have been a blessing since I've met the most extraordinary people.. I have worked and i've gained experience that would help me later on... I'm just hoping to get an epiphany real soon! And ofcourse, it doesn't happen overnight and I am aware of that.
I just don't want to be a failure in life. I'm scared of that. And the funny part is that instead of getting up and start doing something about it, i just sleep on it and here I am. Posting this here...
Faith. That is what I believe in so that kinda helps me to let go of things that put me down..
Maybe my story isn't really this depressing.. But for me, it is the worst phase I'm passing through.
I do need help. I don't know from where to start...
Hi Queen Jay
U sounds like a nice man. I'm glad u found this website do u can talk. Most teens goes thru a period of depression bc after leaving school some kids do loose sights on their future. My son is 17 and mega thin and unmotivated too. I had to take him to college myself but it's also bc he have aspergers. Depression can affects eating. I don't know abt your family but maybe u could tell them you feel down a deposit would like to have help in order to motivate u. If they can't , try talk to someone else. Your friends sound worried bc they keep asking u abt your future. Tell them bc they may feel the same as u or they may understand how u feel and mite have good tips on how to get out and live your life. Try is all u can do cuz if u don't try u may regret it. I know I'd if I quit college during my depression. If you're unsure of your future try work experience to get a taste of what u would like to do.
i have been where you are now. my life has not turned gone well. But I am praying that your goes better then minds. I too gained weight about 80lbs and but did get into school and finish with a degree. My best advise is to just try. Get up everyday and tell yourself that you love yourself in the mirror and that your are loved by your family...Just get out and go. If you are able go alone at first or ask someone maybe a family member to just go out. Life is not what we plan but what we make of the cards we are given....
