...we can now see the deer
moving around in our back yard.
Yep, won't be long.
The sentiment couldn't be more appropriate this year with the snowfall crushing our average annual amount. We hit that 500" mark a week ago. And lest we forget- it snowed more than 200 inches between April and May of 2010.
Hardcore skiers are rejoicing. Winter's not over yet and the resorts are offering all sorts of events and deals to celebrate that fact.
Said Snowbird President Bob Bonar. "Considering last year we received 12 feet of snow in April alone, it's safe to say we have a lot of great spring skiing to look forward to at Snowbird."
Snowbird estimated they'll close Memorial Day, but it's not beyond hope that stay open on weekends through July 4. Last year's closing date was June 22.
The Spring Pass price drops to $299, April 1 and The Bird is offering a Stay and Ski Package from $99/person, double occupancy, that includes a Tram and Chair ticket for each paying adult. If you book at Snowbird April 4-24, they're upgrading your lift ticket to an AltaBird pass.
There will be free live music on the Plaza Deck Saturday and Sunday afternoons through the end of April (weather permitting) along with daily food and drink specials.
On April 8-10, check out the future stars of big mountain skiing in the Junior Freeskiing Nationals.
While some resorts will close before Easter, Snowbird will host the annual Easter Sunrise Service on 11,000-foot Hidden Peak, followed by an Easter Egg Hunt on Chickadee and a special brunch at the Aerie Restaurant on April 24.
Alta will be open daily through April 24 and will re-open April 29 - May 1.
Their Spring Season Pass ($199, unlimited, Utah residents only, proof of residency required) goes on sale April 4! But the specials don't end there:
Monday - Thursday, April 4 - April 21:
Alta Season Pass Holders "Bring A Friend" to ski $32/day*
Alta Gold Card Holders "Friend pays what you pay!" $40/day*
Alta Silver Card Holders "Friend pays what you pay!" $45/day*
Powder Card Holders "Friend pays what you pay!" $52/day*
Season Pass Holders from Other Ski Areas $52/day
For Alta's final weekend of the season, April 29, 30 & May 1, lift tickets will be $52/day
Salomon's BBR Tour is April 2 and the Demo Day is the following Saturday- April 9.
Your little groms will love hunting for eggs at Albion Base April 24. The 11 am event is for kids under the age of 12 near the Alta Java area of the Albion Grill. Bring your basket, wear your pastels and join the Alta bunny. Eggs go quick so get there on time.
Three age categories:
Ages 4 & Under Ages 5-8 Years Ages 9-12 Years

Park City Mountain Resort just announced their new closing date of April 17, 2011.
Beginning Monday, April 11, 2011 the resort will drop their lift ticket prices and operate eight lifts including PayDay, Crescent, Bonanza, Silverlode, Thaynes, Jupiter, First Time and Three Kings. Three Kings and King's Crown terrain parks will also be open. Full-Day Adult (ages 13 - 64) $65 / $40 (half day) Full-Day Seniors (ages 65 and up) $45 Full-Day Children (ages 7-12) $40 / $25 (half day) Alpine Coaster $10 *Children 6 and under ski free.
Canyons and Deer Valley Resort season pass holders will be able to purchase a single-day lift ticket to the Resort for $40 when they show their current 2010-2011 season pass.
Ski and Snowboard School and Park City Mountain Rentals will be fully operational through April 17; however the Repair Shop and Ski Valet will close as regularly scheduled on April 10. The Demo Center will close for the season on April 3.
Take that weekend winter escape you couldn't afford in the winter. The Spring Powder package gets you a room and two-lift tickets for $85/pp/per night. The resort also just announced that 5 and 6 year olds can learn to snowboard this spring. The program includes two on-snow sessions, equipment, lunch and lift access for $200. Limited availability so make reservations.
PCMR's Easter comes early this year. This Sunday, April 3, whisk the little kids to the Kid's Korral and bigger kids to First Time Face at 9 a.m. The event at the Kid's Korral includes a visit from the Easter Bunny for children ages six and under. Pastries, hot chocolate and coffee will be served but don't come hungry the line is usually huge. Older children and adults are invited to participate in an Easter Egg Hunt on the First Time face. The Annual "Hunt for the Golden Egg" will take place all over the mountain with two golden eggs containing 2011-12 season passes. Non-golden eggs containing prizes including 2011 Summer Activities, 2011-2012 lift tickets and more will also be hidden on the mountain. The event is free, although a valid lift ticket or season pass is required for mountain access. Make sure you're in line before the lifts open. Those eggs go fast. I have yet to EVER find one on the mountain.
Did you know that you can learn to ski at Gorgoza Park. The gentle slopes are perfect for never-evers and the price is right. Why spend all of the bucks for lifts you won't be able to ride yet? For $5 and a 2-hr tubing pass, kids under 8 can rent skis, snowboards, ski boots and snowboard boots. When you're done, go tubing, mini-snowmobiling or play in Fort Frosty. Gorgoza is open from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday - Friday, and noon-8 p.m. on weekends. Gorgoza Park is located off I-80, exit 142 in Jeremy Ranch. Take the Jeremy Ranch exit (#142) off I-80 and proceed to 3863 West Kilby Road (frontage road on south side of the freeway).
Since Deer Valley is closing before Easter, there's no Easter Bunny this year. But they'll still offer some hopping spring packages.
With the Exceptional Family Package at The Lodges, kids under 12 ski free and save 25 percent on ski rentals. Minimum three nights lodging is required. The Maximum Value Package gives you one night free along with one free day of skiing. To qualify, purchase a three-night lodging/three-day lift pass package and you'll get one night's lodging and ski for a fourth day absolutely free. Offer valid through April 10, 2011.
The closing date is set for Canyons Resort. April 17 like at PCMR. Either grab some discount passes at Costco or stop by Wasatch Bagels & Grill 1300 Snow Creek Drive (435.645.7778) to purchase your $65 lift voucher. CLICK HERE to purchase the voucher and the resort will mail it out - good for a full-day pass with no black-out dates. If you still have your Warren Miller vouchers, use them now or lose them.
Red Bull Schlittentag slips and slides into Canyons Resort this Saturday, April 2. Three-person teams will stretch their imagination to build the wildest, fastest sled possible. Watch (or participate in) the action as one member will act as driver as the other two will give their sled the push it needs to win the race and the fame and fortune that follows. Crafts are judged on artistic merit, innovation, team spirit and race results. All you need is a little imagination, courage, a couple of friends and off you go. On-site sled inspection starts at 11:30 a.m. For more information contact Karli Hanks (801) 712-7739 or firstname.lastname@example.com or Casey Thompson at (214) 674-9127 or email@example.com.
Then Sunday, April 3, Grete Eliassen will screen her new film. "Say My Name" will be shown for free at 6 p.m. in the Grand Summit Hotel. The ski movie was a two-year venture with longtime ski/snowboard photographer Stan Evans and is highlighted by her record-breaking 2010 hip jump at Canyons Resort.
April is kids' time at Brighton. The longer days make night-skiing prime for those $20 Saturday Nights. No coupons needed just show for the deal and have fun. April 9 is the last Saturday.
With the warmer temperatures and sunny days, spring is a great time to get the kids out on the mountain. In these 3-day ski and snowboard camps, kids will have the same instructor and be with the same students the whole time. This camp takes place on the first three Saturdays in April (2, 9 & 16). Class times for kids ages 4-7 are 9:30 to 12:30 (includes lift ticket) and costs $180. Class times for kids ages 8-15 are 9:30-3:30 (includes lunch and lift ticket) and costs $225.
If you've been considering a helmet let Brighton push you over the edge with their free helmet offer. Adults who enroll in their learn to ski or snowboard package will get a lesson, beginner lift pass (add $20 for an all-area pass) and a helmet all for $79. The package is open to anyone over 13. Ski rentals are available for an additional $15. FYI- Package must be purchased on Brighton's website. Click here to purchase. UP COMING EVENTS: APRIL 2: RED BULL" Minors Cup" APRIL 2: Last Day For UTA Bus services APRIL 9: SNOWBOARDER MAGAZINE
APRIL 24: Last Day of the season Sundance Resort closes this weekend but Utah residents and Utah college students can get an unlimited season pass, good for the remainder of the ski season plus the entire summer season (valid thru 10/16/2011) for $150 for Adults (13 and up) and $99 for Juniors (ages 6-12). That means access to some killer mountain biking all summer.

Since I've moved I now have greater access to bigger and more extensive Asian shopping markets. This is interesting to me because before on the east coast, the Asian markets seemed to jumble all the products of one Asian culture into one store. Here in California they have the cultures separated, which makes things both easier, and harder for finding sweets. Finding candy of any type feels like uncovering treasure to me, so this just means I have to widen my search. I came across some Japanese Kit Kats in Little Tokyo recently, one of which is this Sweet Potato Kit Kat.
I decided to photograph the individually wrapped Kit Kats since they looked practically the same as the large bag that help them. Just…less bloated. The bag held maybe 15-20 of these double-finger bars, which is a good amount of Kit Kat regardless of flavor. The coloring of the wrapper is a nice creamy yellow with royal purple accents. It's like the Japanese sweet potato which has a purple outside and yellowish inside. Attractive, fitting and clever!
Upon opening the wrapper, the Kit Kats are creamy yellow in color, and striking similar to the yellow on the package. The smell sweet and toasted.
The flavor is very unique, but delicious. It starts out sweet with a district flavor of starch to it. Then I get a hint of vanilla that's balanced with the starch, and it comes across as very buttery. The wafers inside taste mild and bland compared to the roasted potato white chocolate, and provides a nice back drop crunchy texture to the bar.
A tasty and unique Kit Kat. Certainly worth a try if you like the stranger flavors that Japan offers.

|Great peak. Perfect way to wrap up a summer of peak bagging. I'd have to agree with some others that it was a little looser than I was expecting. I didn't notice it at all going up, but coming down was a little slower as a result.

|Great trip with Kurt H. (aka physics) from SP. Reached the summit from the trailhead after leaving overnight gear at Finger Lake on Saturday. Hiked out Sunday for an early return home.

Hmm! Has anyone did this w/o rope?

|Route Climbed: Traverse from Disappointment Peak / NE Face (descent) Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2005
|The traverse from Disappointment was much easier than I'd expected, and the NE Face was straightforward as well (although much looser than I'd expected given the popularity of the route). Snow almost the whole way down to Finger Lake meant we were treated to a luxurious and pretty expedient return, 2hr45 back to the car from the summit.
The traverse from Disappointment took a couple of hours, and involved several ups and downs via the various chutes and aretes that separate the two peaks, but as I recall, only a couple of places were class 4.
|Posted Aug 17, 2005 1:57 pm
|Route Climbed: NE Chute via Class 4 chimney Date Climbed: 07/30/05
|Made good time on the approach. There is a nice use trail from Brainard Lake up to Finger Lake that we found by accident. From there the moraine was mostly snow free with a few low angle patches. A short section of snow still covers the entrance to Secors Chute and can be done without an axe. The chimney was fun, solid class 4 on a beautiful summit day. Just over 12 hours car to summit and back.

|Route Climbed: NE Face via Secor's chute Date Climbed: July 23 2005
|A last-minute decision to head up to the Sierras to get 14er #6. Lots of fun, easy and sustained class 3 climbing with some loose rock thrown in too. The summit block was great, significant exposure but an awesome view of the palisades. No snow until the MP/NCP glaciers, but the top of the morraine was definitely covered more than what appears to be normal for this time of year. No crampons needed to get to the ledge leading into Secor's chute, but the last 30 feet there would have been really, really rough without an ax. Mosquitoes were in FULL FORCE from Willow Lake all the way up until the glaciers. Fortunately there was enough hail on the way back to keep them away for an hour or two. 17 hours from trailhead and back at a relaxed pace with quite a few breaks.

|Climbed this route with John Fischer, Allan Bard, and two clients as part of a Palisade School of Mountaineering custom guided tour of the South Fork of Big Pine Creek. I was the sherpa. In return for carrying the beer and other goodies, I was allowed to tag along on the climb. The weather was overcast, and turned into heavy snow just as we reached the summit. Our view from the top was limited to a few hundred feet. Too bad, this is such an awesome place. The storm dropped over a foot of snow. The next morning dawned clear and warm. Watched in awe as dozens of wet snow avalanches swept the faces of this and the surrounding peaks. Unforgettable.

|This was a great climb! The red stained rock is crumbly, so be careful and check your holds. The rest of the rock is great. Luckily we were the only ones on the mountain otherwise rockfall could have been a problem. I would advise helmets.

|Route Climbed: NE Face (Up Left Couloir) Date Climbed: Late May 2004
|Did the route as part of a ski tour. We crossed South Fork Pass from the west the day before and bivied in some rocks near the base of the glacier.
We had a large group, so managing the risk of rockfall while climbing was the biggest challenge.
Entered the couloir via a short ramp coming up from the glacier on the NE side--there are some belay slings there, so it sees some traffic. Went up the left fork of the couloir.
A few hours for a fast group bivied near the glacier--took us longer but bivy to bivy it took only 8 hours, with plenty of time on the summit ridge for pics.
Recommended for small groups with good class 3 skills only.

A 22-year-old man is accused of committing a sex offense with a 12-year-old girl, according to an arrest warrant.
Cole Philip McCasland of 4 Willow Court in Thomasville has been charged with felony indecent liberties with a child and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center on Wednesday under a $50,000 secured bond.
Davidson County Sheriff's Office Det. C.R. Mann alleges McCasland committed the sex offense with the girl April 21. That's the same day the detective also alleges the man encouraged the girl to drink wine and smoke cigarettes.
Warrants were issued for McCasland's arrest May 15.
McCasland has a court date of June 11.

Yachay Wasi
- Date submitted: 25 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Yachay Wasi
- Submission Document: Download
General Contenta) What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? Expectations for the Outcome of Rio+20:
Action and implementation at the Local Level.
Reasonable financial support for these local activities now barely paid for by some NGOs thru credit card borrowing.
b) What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g., a green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others? A green economy Roadmap should include more communication with local and Indigenous communities and NGOs.
As it is today, world Indigenous representatives attend UN international fora but the information obtained does not necessarily trickle down to local and remote villages in their native countries.
Yachay Wasi, itself an Andean Indigenous NGO, member of the Mountain Partnership, has held encounters and small conferences in various local and remote Indigenous communities in Peru Andes to inform on the work of the United Nations on their behalf and to discuss issues of interest to them: protection of biodiversity and sacred sites; human rights; intellectual properties, etc?
Funding for these activities has recently become scarce. The framework for action should include financial support towards these activities.
Sustainable development goals should include SUSTAINABLE TOURISM as it was discussed and defined at the 7th Session of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development in 1999. Unfortunately, since then, the social aspects of SUSTAINABLE Tourism (not ECOTOURISM as it has been since promoted by the World Tourism Organization) have been forgotten. Especially, the following one:
? If more Indigenous ownership could be developed, the perception of tourism as a foreign-dominated sector would be reduced.? (UN Doc. E/CN.17/1999/5/Add.2 Chapt. III Parag.30).
c) What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.); Implementation: As stated before, Communication and more funded involvement by various actors should take place.
Actors to be more involved: Major Groups: Indigenous, and Local authorities
Existing CSD partnerships: The Mountain Partnership
d) What specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools are envisaged and what is the relevant time frame for the proposed decisions to be reached and actions to be implemented? No comment
Specific Elementsa) Objective of the Conference: To secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and emerging challenges. Contributions could include possible sectoral priorities (e.g., (e.g., energy, food security and sustainable agriculture, technology transfer, water, oceans, sustainable urbanization, sustainable consumption and production, natural disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation, biodiversity, etc.) and sectoral initiatives that contribute to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development could be launched and endorsed at Rio+20. Priorities in the Andes and in other mountain areas are climate change, protection of mountain lakes and glaziers, protection of biodiversity, planting of high altitude native trees, sustainable tourism ?..
Ref. Mountain Partnership statement:
?Since 1992, when chapter 13 on mountains as fragile ecosystems was introduced in Agenda 21, the demand for goods and services from mountains has grown considerably. Moreover, the ability of mountain systems to provide essential goods and services for all of humanity is increasingly under threat from climate change, globalization, a chronic lack of investment and ongoing land degradation.?
As a Mountain Partnership member, Yachay Wasi recognizes ?that despite the progress that has been made in promoting sustainable development of mountain regions, national and international development agendas still treat mountains, if at all, as marginal environments. As a result, poverty rates are higher than in non-mountain areas.?
b) Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication: views regarding how green economy can be a means to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions, and poverty eradication; what is its potential added value; experience to date, including what has worked and how to build upon success, what are the challenges and opportunities and how to address the challenges and seize opportunities, and possible elements of an agreement in outcome document on a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication Ref. Mountain Partnership statement:
?In the context of a Green Economy, new opportunities for investments by the private sector are emerging in some mountain regions, especially in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem goods and services. However, innovative institutional arrangements are urgently required to trigger governance models and decision support systems aiming at both the integration of the social, ecological and economic capital at all scales in mountain regions, as well as the actual mainstreaming of mountains into overall national development and conservation processes.
Enhancing the global political commitment that translates into increased investments tailored to mountain regions will directly benefit poor mountain communities and indirectly humanity as a whole. Hence, sustainable mountain development, notably through integrated and socially inclusive policies, as well as low carbon technologies, should have a prominent place in the Rio 2012 agenda and in particular in its final declaration. To achieve these ends strong and united advocacy for mountain issues with tangible results in future UNCSD negotiations is essential.?
c) Institutional framework for sustainable development: Priorities and proposals for strengthening individual pillars of sustainable development, as well as those for strengthening integration of the three pillars, at multiple levels; local, national, regional and international. No comment
d) Any proposals for refinement of the two themes. Recall that Resolution 64/236 describes the focus of the Conference: "The focus of the Conference will include the following themes to be discussed and refined during the preparatory process: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development". No comment

Humans have immune systems, and so, in a manner of speaking, do plants: Collectively, members of the plant kingdom contain thousands and thousands of different types of antioxidants, molecules that help organisms repair damage caused by oxygen by-products. These defense mechanisms get passed along to people who eat antioxidant-packed foods, which is why the right diet can improve your ability to fight off heart disease and cancer, the two top killers of American women. Fortunately, you don't have to know the name of each micronutrient. "Because antioxidants have a common goal, there's a lot of overlap in how they work," says David Heber, MD, director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. This means that as long as you eat a range of foods, you don't need to focus on meeting, say, a quota for resver-atrol (the component in red wine that's thought to slow aging). The real key is to figure out which foods are, broadly speaking, good sources. And that part has gotten considerably easier.
Monica Carlsen, a researcher at the University of Oslo in Norway, was part of a team that created the most comprehensive list to date of the number of antioxidants in 100-gram (roughly 3.5-ounce) servings of foods from around the globe. Here, we've pulled together a range of high scorers available to Americans that you can add to your own menu for a powerful anti-aging boost.
In general, on the antioxidant scale, fruits beat out vegetables by far. (The deep, bright colors more common in fruits are a sign of high antioxidant content.) Among the fruits, berries rated highest. This is largely due to their high concentration of anthocyanins, a class of antioxidant thought to be especially effective in helping to reduce inflammation, among other benefits.
Best bets include

A hearing is scheduled in a legal battle over public records in the case of three Cub Scouts who were killed 20 years ago in West Memphis.
Judge Victor Hill is to hold a hearing Wednesday in a lawsuit that has sought access to evidence in the slayings of 8-year-olds Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers.
Three men, known as the West Memphis Three, were convicted as teenagers for the murders in 1994. Those convictions were set aside in 2011 and they were released as part of a new plea deal with prosecutors.
Branch's mother has argued that authorities violated Arkansas' Freedom of Information Act by not allowing them to examine evidence.
Hill ruled last year that evidence could not be released under the open records law.

ZF-1563: QuoteInto doesn't work with Sqlite
We discover a problem with quoteInto and SQLite.
The Zend Framework generate this kind of SQL (we use quoteInto for projects_id and users_id):
DELETE FROM "usvn_users_to_projects" WHERE (projects_id = '1' AND users_id = 1)
But in SQlite quote seems to be mandatory and we need write:
DELETE FROM "usvn_users_to_projects" WHERE (projects_id = '1' AND users_id = '1')
We made an ugly hack to fix the problem into Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Sqlite.php
public function quote($value)
if (is_int($value) || is_float($value)) {
return parent::quote("$value");
return parent::quote($value);
I'm not sure I understand. Are the SQL datatypes of projects_id and users_id integer or varchar?
Does SQLite have a problem comparing an integer literal to a varchar? Some RDBMS brands have the opposite problem, you can't compare a string literal to an integer column.
You also have a workaround:
$expr = $db->quoteInto('users_id = ?', (string) 1);
This is not a critical bug, since there are already two workarounds.
I'd be glad to fix it regardless, but I'm reducing the severity.
Resolved in revision 5314.
Reopening. SQLite does require that integers are compared to integers, and strings are compared to strings.
Fixed in revision 5493.
Problem is still present. That's why we use this patch:

--- www/Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Sqlite.php (revision 1088) +++ www/Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Sqlite.php (local) @@ -278,4 +278,22 @@ return $sql; }

This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Hi Julian
I'm looking into this for the 1.6 release if it's able to be resolved. Can I clarify - what is the reason for explicitly casting as a string by default? The only concern I have defaulting to a string type is that it will break an existing expected behaviour. Or is SQLite expecting a string and this behaviour has always been incorrect.
The patch itself is straight-forward, as are the tests, but I want to be sure this is absolutely required before committing.
I just test and now it's work without our patch. Thanks for your help.

Post subject: What I Love about AAR
I just love this site. Let me count the ways.
1. I love, love, love the book reviews. Somehow, most of the time, I agree with the reviewer. The reviews are always interesting and fair, even if (sometimes) the reviewer has not matched my taste, but insisted--for some unknown reason--on her own.
2. Thanks to the past reviews, when I was going thru a dry spell, I looked up A books and found tons of fabulous new (to me) books, most of which were free from the library.
3. I love the postings, even when I don't agree. It is extremely rare that people get snarky with one another, and if someone is offended, most of the time, the ofendee usually makes it right. I'm never nervous about posting here.
4. I love the organization. There is just SO MUCH information available here--reviews of new books, a recording of hundreds? thousands? of past reviews, easily accessible, interviews with authors, an easy way to read what people have posted about a previous book or topic, e-mail addresses if I want to contact people personally, lists of books on sale now and in the future, book titles organized on a theme (like beauty and the beast), a part that "if you liked (fill in the blank), then you'll probably like (another author's name). And there's even more which I'm not including.
5. The care that the reviewers and the people who run this site show constantly in their maintenance and responses to problems or suggestions. I love having someone to e-mail to help me when I didn't realize that I could edit one of my postings, for example, that I wanted changed. I love having reviewers and other people tell us what prompted their thinking when people disagree with a review, etc.
6. The erudition and wit and just general opinions of the posters. What an interesting bunch of people. I just wish I could get people who sneer at romances to read some postings. When I tell my anti-romance friends about some of the discussions, I just know that although they don't think I'm lying, they really can't believe me. Oh, well.
7. I was thinking, last night while making dinner, of past parodies of romance novels and how funny they were. Can we do that again? Please?

Hear, hear, Lynda!
I also enjoy this site and come here daily ever since discovering it two years ago.
Although I do not rely on AAR's reviews as this is too subjective for me (I prefer to check all books out on Goodreads as there is a wide range of people's opinions), there are some notable exceptions e.g. I find that I almost always agree with and like reviews of the retired reviewer Rachel Potter, and after I saw The Lymond Chronicles being mentioned on this board I read the brilliant review by Jennifer Keirans that set me on this wonderful reading experience that is the world of Dorothy Dunnett's writing (historical fiction, strictly speaking) [I should warn any potential TLC reader against Jo Beverley's review of Checkmate (The Lymond Chronicles #6 and last) as it's very heavy-handed and -spoilt although imbued with passion too].
What I love about AAR:
1. [IMO] it's the most comprehensive site for a romance reader. You can always find an answer to your question concerning romance
2. I also compiled my reading list from here both from various threads and posters' recommendations, and from 100 Top Romance polls and annual polls
3. Some features are wonderful, like Special Title Listings or Favourite Books by Favourite Authors. So I agree with your point #4, Lynda.
4. Ditto your point #5, Lynda. Compared to some other sites, this is is a very civilized environment. And very lively, there's always someone to answer your question or someone you'd like to answer or share your opinion with.
Overall, great job, AAR!

I am eternally grateful to AAR which I started looking at over 10 years ago for introducing me to North American authors I knew nothing about as they weren't/aren't published in the UK. So I'm also grateful to amazon where I can usually find a secondhand or new copy of these books. If it wasn't for AAR I would not know about: Mary Balogh, Jo Beverley, Carla Kelly, Edith Layton, Barbara Metzger, Judith A Lansdowne - just to name a very few.
The reviews are excellent and over the years have provided my TBR pile (which never seems to go down!) and I enjoy the stimulating discussions and particularly look forward to postings by certain AAR members. It's wonderful to see postings from readers all over the world and hearing their ideas and opinions.
I read (and also write) amazon reviews so with that and AAR I feel I get a good, rounded (usually) POV on loads of books.
So: excellent job to all at AAR, long may you continue and my gratitude to you for providing such a wonderful site for learning and exchanging information and opinions.

Post subject: In appreciation of AAR
I have been a fan of AAR since it first went online way back in 1996, and have checked on the site almost daily for more than 10 years. It has gone from strength to strength. However, I do miss Laurie Gold, and wish sometimes that she would come back for a guest appearance or two. Like
, I also miss Rachel Potter's presence at AAR as she was the reviewer whose tastes aligned most closely with mine, and I loved many of the books she recommended.
I too loved the parodies of romance on AAR - is it archived somewhere? Could the files be brought out again and linked for current AAR readers to enjoy?
I think what makes AAR so successful is a combination of the dedication of its administrators and reviewers, and also the goodwill and camaraderie of posters from all over the world who contribute to discussions about romances. For those who want to post about items which may be incendiary, there is the Wild Wild West forum.
Lynda X
, you have said it all, and I thank you for your post because sometimes we take things for granted, and I am so glad to Sandy, Blythe, Lynn and the rest of the team at AAR for all they do.

Reading these replies makes me remember my boredom at the time, years ago. My long-time favorite authors had become old, stale, and flat, but when I tried new authors, they too were boring. I was not happy. Although I loved romance novels, it looked to me as if the genre was done. When I googled romance books, I got porn sites.
Then, I commented to a reviewer on Amazon how much I liked her reviews, she wrote to me, and eventually she recommended AAR. I was thrilled! Now, 99% of my favorite books and authors originate here. I'm back, happily reading romances again. What pleasure!

Post subject: On THin Ice
One of the reasons I appreciate AAR is to find out about new books coming out by my favorite authors as well as hearing about new authors. I just noticed at After Hours, Lea is reading a new Ice book by Anne Stuart and I didn't know she had a new one out (it looks like its in e-book or audio only). So I'm excited to read On Thin Ice. I don't have time to post a lot but I visit AAR often and am thankful for this site.

I, too, would like to express my appreciation for this site. I visit almost daily, and as others have said, I would have missed so many great authors without it. No Mary Balogh. No Susan Elizabeth Phillips. No Jennifer Crusie. No Connie Willis. No Lois McMaster Bujold (ack -- no Miles Vorkosigan!!)
So to all of those who do the work, and all the members who contribute in the forums, THANK YOU!

Great thread. I was lucky enough that on a different board which had nothing to do with romance reading we got into a topic and romance books came up and someone passed on this board as a good one to me.
I used to visit romantic times site in the past I even once many years ago had a membership to the magazine...
But I felt like it was a big advertisement push more than anything. It didn't break down the particulars like we do at AAR. Just coming to the boards and sharing thoughts with savvy readers like yourselves. Finding similar likes and disections of a story we've read. You develop a trust here that leads you to find the next good romance book to read the next favorite author. This site guides me more than any other. From Favorite Book by Favorite Author to Top 100 Romances to the reviews to these boards. All of this compiles for me to be the very best romance website that is out there frankly.
Many readers here are just so passionate and they truly delve deeper into understanding why the book is a success what they enjoyed about it why it hit all the marks for them.
I can go on and on but the point being it's just a really cool site. lol
Romance my favorite reading pastime.

Ah, were to begin? I love AAR for the reviews that are not overly long or emotional, but to the point. Enjoy the Special Title Listings over the years. Really enjoy the conversations here, even though we sometimes disagree. And I know I have been, over these many years...the Problem Child at times. I love how I've been allowed to be myself on the boards. I adore you..AAR. (note my 5000 ++ posts) Yes I do.

I have to agree with the sentiment of this thread. I've found so many wonderful new authors and books through the boards, and I like the reviews here. My most recent AAR discovery was to start reading M/M due to a thread by autumn asking for recommendations. Not only have I made my way through most of those recommendations, but I've branched out into other M/M books. I'm totally addicted. I think the boards are for the most part congenial. Even on the threads where people disagree and get their feathers ruffled I can usually see how both sides have a point, and I like getting both perspectives.
I also really like getting other reader's opinions of the books I read. It nice to have a back and forth discussion as opposed to just reading reviews. In general I'm not very critical of my reading material, I usually decide how I feel about them by how much I enjoyed reading it. Reading is my entertainment (I don't have cable). So I find that in most cases other readers see way more than I do, and it makes me think of the book differently in a good way.
Mostly I just love being able to talk about the kind of books I like. I don't have any friends in real life who share my taste in reading material. Every now and then my mom and my sister will read a paranormal with me, but not often. I also have one other friend who likes YA, and I'll check out some of the ones she recommends so we can have fun chatting about them. However, I don't prefer them, and I find it hard to connect with a teenaged protagonist. So yeah, the ladies and gentlemen here are pretty much it for me for book talk.

I enjoy the people who participate on the boards and who give their thoughts on books they've read and other topics that are related (and sometimes not so connected). Yes, we don't always agree, but we can have fun hashing it around.
I like that most posters are respectful of others' opinions; and as someone else said, if they're not, usually they're quick to own up. Tone is difficult to pin down when only text and some emoticons are used to try to convey it. But I do feel that most of us do well; and when we don't for whatever reason, we try to set it right (me included).
All of these things set in motion a board that can at times be super interesting because of all the thoughts and opinions flying around. I too have found some new authors whom I enjoy reading from readers' recommendations and from some of the reviews.

Second Elaine S's reasons in the AAR love fest! I started visiting these boards over ten years ago - can't believe it's been so long. I still remember the old format of the boards and the page on "Desert Island books"! After a few disapointments, I would have probably given up on romance without the reviews on this website pointing out the gems. This is particularly in the age before ebooks when international postage for US books was so expensive.
Also, on a personal note, I remember the lovely messages from people on these boards just after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. It really touched me and speaks to the sense of AAR as a community. I may no longer read that many romance books nowadays but I still come back for the community.
xina - what would AAR be without you! I think I've been more or of a Problem Child than you at various times...

Me! Me! Me! I'M the problem child! Not you! ME!
Actually, I sometimes feels strange/awkward that I post so much. But then I think, oh, if they don't want to read something because I've posted it, that's their right. They can pass by. Isn't it interesting that a blank slate can bring your insecurities out?
PS I can't think of even one person here that I would call a problem. Really. Yes, sometimes there are spats, but everyone tries hard, I think, to see the other point of view, etc. I never think, when I see the same posters again, "Oh, gotta be careful. She's so fragile or so easily irritated."

Despite Senior Sweep, Men's Squash Falls 6-3 To Cornell
Tri-captain Dylan Ward was part of the first shift for Princeton, and he was dominant in a 3-0 win at the No. 3 spot over Kevin Flannery. Ward lost only eight points in his final match at Jadwin, the site of both his wins in the 2012 CSA national championship final and a 2013 win over Harvard that helped clinch an Ivy League title.
Two close losses left the Tigers down 2-1 after the first shift. Sophomore Michael LeBlanc lose a 32-point marathon in the fourth to lose 3-1, and freshman Ben Leizman went the distance before falling 11-8 in the fifth.
Princeton evened the team match in the second shift, thanks in part to another senior tri-captain. Ash Egan overcame a loss in the opening game to win three straight, including a 12-10 win in the fourth. Junior tri-captain Tyler Osborne also went four games, but his wins off 11-8 and 11-7 finished a 3-1 win over Aditiya Jagtap.
A Cornell win at No. 5 meant that the team that won the final shift would win the match. The Big Red had the edge of sending one former national individual finalist to the court, and he got the job done. Senior Nick Sachvie, who lost to Princeton's Todd Harrity in the 2011 national final, defeated Samuel Kang in three games at the No. 1 spot, and Bryan Keating won three close games over David Hoffman to seal the win at No. 4.
The final match on court also went the distance, but Cornell's Graham Dietz held off Sam Ezratty in the fifth game to earn a 3-2 win.
Princeton will now wait for the draw for next weekend's CSA team national championships, which will be held at Harvard.
1 – Nick Sachvie (C) d. Samuel Kang 5,8,7
2 – Tyler Osborne (P) d. Aditiya Jagtap 5,(9),8,7
3 – Dylan Ward (P) d. Kevin Flannery 0,5,3
4 – Bryan Keating (C) d. David Hoffman 8,8,9
5 – Gustav Runersjo (C) d. Taylor Tutrone 9,(3),10,10
6 – Rishi Jalen (C) d. Michael LeBlanc 11,(8),6,15
7 – Graham Dietz (C) d. Sam Ezratty 9,(8),6,(1),6

9 – Harry Freeman (C) d. Ben Leizman (8),4,(7),2,8

Mental health issues are no different than other medical conditions, such as hypertension or diabetes. Yet many people don't seek help. They suffer in silence, not knowing or denying that something can be done.
Today an estimated 22.1% of adults in America - about one in five - suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. In addition, four of the ten leading causes of disability are mental disorders. So it is no surprise that more and more people are seeking professional help to deal with these problems.
We provide a spectrum of services and treatment options in a variety of settings. Because we are hospital-based, we offer a full continuum of services. Our highly specialized team consists of board certified psychiatrists, clinical nurses, mental health associates, clinical nurse specialists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and clinical social workers.
Our staff recognizes the emotional toll that a chronic mental illness can have on the entire family. Throughout treatment, our therapists help family members understand how mental illness affects the family. Families learn and practice appropriate roles and boundaries, how to set realistic expectations for the patient's capabilities. Family therapy also helps families develop healthy ways of communicating and dealing with stress and developmental changes so future problems do not escalate into situations that the family is not equipped to handle.
Behavioral Health Partners of Frederick, Inc. offers outpatient behavioral health services at two convenient locations in the Frederick area. They serve children, adolescents, adults, and seniors with a wide range of mental health concerns and emotional issues. The professional staff consists of licensed social workers, board-certified psychiatrists, and registered nurses.
As a partnership of Sheppard Pratt Health System and Frederick Memorial Hospital, Behavioral Health Partners' services are part of an integrated continuum of behavioral health care, and reflect the high standard of care that the community has come to expect of these two institutions over the past 100 years.
Sheppard Pratt Health System is a nationally renowned mental health and substance abuse center for treatment, professional training, and research. Founded in 1853 by Moses Sheppard, Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital is a private 322-bed, not-for-profit hospital accredited by the Joint Commission.

Reviews for Butterscotch Oatmeal
"very good and easy to make"
"Excellent.Why not an egg?"
"We really like this oatmeal. I do half the sugar and it is still plenty sweet. I also add about a quarter cup more oatmeal so it is a little bit thicker. I want to try it with apples in the fall, maybe raisins too."
"super yummy...and yes the egg makes a difference. The creamy texture is very soothing and a welcome treat on cold mornings; a soothing treat; or a simple comfort food when my little 1's are under the weather. We don't use pre-packaged food in our diet, so the brown sugar was not an issue for me. There are many ways to cut down on extra sugars in 1's diet without denying one's self the yumminess of brown sugar. ;-) Just my take on it, to each their own."
"This is a delicious treat and quite hearty. It stuck with me all morning. Thanks!"

I'm a christian living in the UK. Some people on here have intimated that atheists in the US are persecuted in some ways. I have no idea what this means, but would very interested to find out. So the questions is how? Its a genuine question, and i'm not looking for discussion on whether God exists etc, just the topic at hand. Thanks.
Views: 1838
I recently came out as an atheist to many of my friends. They were incredulous, and my boyfriend broke up with me. They've come to accept it, but still make little jabs every now and then. My parents would be very angry if I ever told them. Can't wait to move to the UK!
As almost any UK'er here will tell you, the UK has its own share of wackiness. If not related to atheism, then other things. The "loony left" for example, who back notions of political correctness that would curl your toenails.
Sadly, loony left notions are creeping into the US, especially in our educational system.
Political correctness has always irritated me. Like, if you can't say what you want, why bother with free speech?
It's not like that now, Olivia. The loony left were around in the 1980s. We can pretty much say and think what we like. The only people frowned upon are far-right racists and Islamic Jihad types. We still let them march and everything, but they are kept out of harm's way by the police. Actually, the left barely exist any more, everyone's gone "centre".
I hear of persecution all the time, but have not felt any.
I've been an Atheist since I was 16, and was agnostic for 3 years prior. I've always been open and honest with my lack of beliefs, and even my most fundie of friends don't think I'm any worse for it. I live in Northren KY in an area that is considered to be "Greater Cincinnati" (as in Cincinnati OH). Maybe I just get lucky and meet decent xians, or my area is more concerned with drama. Don't really care because my xian friends are always up for a good debate over a beer.
In certain other countries you can know people for decades and never even learn about their beliefs. They may be Christians, but religion just isn't really talked about in normal conversations.
I think atheists can be legally discriminated against in the U.S. because we have no laws recognizing us as a minority. If somebody refuses to sell a house to a black family, that's illegal. But -- unless I'm mistaken -- it's not illegal if it's an atheist family that is discriminated against.
Any lawyers here? What legal protections do atheists have?
The only law protecting us is the freedom of religion or lack of it, as far as I know.
But atheism is not a religion . . .
It is, however, a religious belief in the legal sense
Okay, Steve, I see no reason not to take your word for it . . .
It is, the Supreme Court made that point clear in Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38 (1985).

SxTx Update - A word from Mike Clark
ST is proud and excited to have "Waking the Dead" on the entire tour. This new band will be very familiar to all ST Cycos. Make sure you get there early to check them out. Here is an intro by Mike Clark about his plans for
"Waking the Dead".
Hello everyone, this is Mike Clark, rhythm guitarist for Suicidal Tendencies 25 years strong!
Some of you may be wondering what I've been up to for the last 7 months or so.
Well, I've always had a dream of fronting my own band, that is playing both rhythm and lead guitars and singing which is why I left Suicidal in June to recreate the band I founded in 1985, No Mercy.
Unfortunately I cannot use the name, No Mercy, as it's been trademarked by W.W.E., so we are now calling the band "Waking The Dead".
We are re releasing the No Mercy original album, which Mike Muir sang on with two additional tracks, also featuring Muir on vocals to let you know where and how the band would sound had it kept going.
Also, I, with Waking the Dead, have been given the great opportunity to open the show for Suicidals upcoming tour this April which is a great honor for us.
After that, look forward to a Waking the Dead full length album in the near future.
Once again, I can't tell you how excited and honored I am to hit the stage again!
So get ready for your ears to bleed, that head to bang and that slam pit to go off!!
STraight from the heart,
Mike Clark

My brand-new Burberry Brit. My jumbo-size Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy. An entire set of Coco Mademoiselle-scented products by Chanel.
Once covetable trophies I displayed on my vanity, these candy-colored bottles are now all junked in my cosmetic graveyard due to a study that's causing a stink.
The report revealed that some of the most popular perfumes on the market contain at least a dozen potentially toxic ingredients... that AREN'T listed on the label. So rather than risk allergic reactions—hormone imbalances or even worse outcomes—I decided to ditch the shady scents and find far more organic options. Here's what turned up:
The Goddess Line, 28; Prana Yoga Trolley Square
Maybe one day you need a little extra boost to get you through your mood. Well, you're sure to find inspiration through essential oil-based roll-ons from The Goddess Line. The sultry-scented Lakshmi promises prosperity, while a flowery Parvati will give you a push of perseverance. I recommend buying all five because you'll dig each one depending on your daily mood.
LAVANILA Vanilla Lavender Eau de Parfum Spray, $58; Sephora
Get the big one! You'll obsess over this wear-anytime, all-natural scent by ingredient-conscious Lavanila. The tranquil blend of lavender, vanilla and rose claims to blast 30 antioxidants onto your skin, fighting free-radicals while making you smell sexy and fresh. The company makes virtually every combo of vanilla-based scent (Vanilla Grapefruit, Vanilla Coconut, etc.), so this is another collection you should consider snagging in its entirety.
Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques' Organic Perfume Oils, $9.99; Natural Joy Beauty
LBC's organic perfume oils are meant to mix with your body chemistry to make scents unique to you. A great unisex scent base you're likely to reach for all the time is INTRIGUE, which flaunts a zen flair of lotus and patchouli. And seeing how it works with your body is half the fun!
Natural and organic scents are becoming extremely popular, so if you're ready to rid yourself of the questionable kinds, you'll have a host of happy, healthy options.

Myself, father, uncle, and mother all have different degrees of Colitis. I was in the middle of a bad UC flare up and was taking steroid enemas, Prednisone pills, Asacol (till it made my hair start falling out), and switched back to old faithful Azulfidine, but still could not kick this episode. So I researched alternative and natural cures. I bought us each 1 bottle of this brand. After taking 2 capsules 3 times a day during my flare up, in 3 days I noticed a big difference and in 5 days not just mine but all of our forms of colitis were gone. We have all remained in remission ever since; dropping all medications. I can't remember the last time I had to run to the bathroom or always stay near one. Now I just take 2 per day as a maintenance dose. But remember the active ingredient is not so much water soluble, its oil soluble, so take it with either flax/krill/fish/algae oil gel cap simultaneously for max absorption.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Madi Kingdon recorded a match-high 16 kills on .406 hitting to lead Arizona (16-8, 6-6 Pac-12) to a 3-0 (25-22, 25-17, 25-19) sweep at Oregon State (9-14, 0-12 Pac-12) on Sunday inside Gill Coliseum.
With the victory, the Wildcats have already equaled their win total from last season with eight matches still to play. The win also snapped a three-match losing streak. Arizona earned its second road victory of the year.
Arizona finally broke out of its offensive slump as it hit a solid .291 for the match, while its defense held Oregon State to just .124 hitting. The Wildcats also out-blocked the Beavers, 9.0 to 6.0. In addition, Arizona was also better behind the service line as it recorded five aces compared to just one for OSU.
Kingdon had her most efficient match in Pac-12 play so far this season as she recorded just three errors on 32 swings.
Meanwhile, Penina Snuka did an excellent job of quarterbacking the offense as she dished out a match-high 35 assists to go with six digs and four kills. She was a perfect 4-for-4 in hitting for the match.
Halli Amaro had a strong match as she recorded seven kills on .333 hitting to go with a match-high five blocks. Olivia Magill added eight kills and a block, while Taylor Arizobal provided six kills and two blocks. Jane Croson had five kills, six digs and two blocks to wrap up the Arizona offense.

The EcoSense stormwater filter takes minutes to install in a catch basin, drain, or inlet—no excavation or special equipment is required. The filtration medium permanently captures oil, grease, dirt, and other debris during the first flush of an event, preventing the contaminants from leaching back into the stormwater. Each filter handles flow rates up to 50 gallons per minute, and in normal applications it only needs to be changed every eight to 10 months. Ipex Inc. www.ipexinc.com..
The CDS treatment system screens, separates, and traps debris, sediment, oil, and grease from stormwater runoff. Its indirect screening capability allows 100% removal of flotables and neutrally buoyant material. The system—which comes in precast and cast-in-place versions—offers offline models that can treat offline flows to 300 cubic feet per second (cfs), inline units that can treat flows to 20 cfs, and bypass versions that can treat flows of more than 50 cfs. Contech Stormwater Solutions. www.contechstormwater.com..
Terra-Tubes are a hybrid of wood fibers, manmade fibers, and polymers, encased in heavy-duty knitted tubes. The devices trap, filter, and treat sediment-heavy runoff while reducing hydraulic flow.

The ARC line of leaching chambers offers easy installation, with minimal soil compaction. The durable, lightweight chambers allow effluent to flow freely to uncompacted backfill through open bottoms and innovative louvered side-walls, which prevent migration into the chamber. The products come in 5-foot lengths for easy handling and flexibility of installation. Advanced Drainage Systems Inc. www.ads-pipe.com..
Designed to fit into existing stormwater drains, EnviroSafe filters remove and capture trash, sediment, oil, grease, and soluble metals from runoff. The filters incorporate an antimicrobial chemical to inhibit growth of bacteria, viruses, and mold. Transpo Industries Inc. www.transpo.com..
When stormwater runoff enters the Ultra-DrainGuard Oil & Sediment Plus insert, it is directed toward a polypropy-lene geotextile that filters pollutants from the water. Filter strips made of recycled synthetic fibers help maximize removal of hydrocarbons and other contaminants from the effluent. The insert is held in place by the drain's grate. UltraTech International Inc. www.spillcontainment.com..
Storm Seal high-density polyethylene pipe offers an integral bell and spigot joint configuration that provides a watertight connection to reduce stormwater infiltration. The product resists damage from impact, corrosion, and freeze/thaw cycles. Diameters from 8 to 48 inches are available. PVC basins and drains also are offered.

on this site and others much is said about DHLS buying up billions of rounds of ammo and armored trucks, FEMA building hundreds camps out in the middle of no-where mostly and the UN and international government types sniffing around these "emergency preparedness projects".
what were seeing here folks is a program that has been running for the last four years. and will continue till the next administration steps in.
these camps are also springing up in mexico and canada. and as far away as australia and new zeland and the eastern parts of the EU.
i was talking with a contractor today about the situation. he told me that the government plans on re-locating at least 50,000,000 people to these camps in the USA, 25 to 30 million to mexico and another 25-30 million to canada.
what the government er "Obamma" is spending billions preparing for is a total collapse of the infrastructure of nearly the entire middle east.
his plan to save them is to "re-locate" 100,000,000 to north america!
no plan on on how long they will stay . i suspect the ME refugees will be on assistance in the USA for evermore--
so get ready for a re-engineered United States with a bunch of BRAND NEW citizens that speak some form of Arabic---and no english.
remember the boat people?? this totally dwarfs that--
and if they hook up with the ones here all ready?? won't they be nearly a majority?

Looks fine to me! I for one am not afraid of those plastic tabs. The newer plastics are really a far cry better than those from jsut a few years ago.
How can people identify "issues" if they haven't released them yet? "confused" :)
I'll be interested to see how they perform... can't say for certain I'll buy any 20 round drum mag, ever, but these don't look bad.

Since I went out and found the regular Lifesaver Gummi Sours, naturally I came across the Wild Berry Sours Mix. I already went and explained them yesterday, so I won't repeat myself. Let's just cut to the tasting, shall we?
This mix was a little hard to pick out the flavors, are they're either red, purple or white. From the listing on the front, three are the red color, two black and only leaves white grape as the light yellow colored one. I finally, under a bright light, was able to pick out subtle variations on the color enough to guess at the flavors.
Cherry Berry (darkest red): This is just like the cherry Lifesaver. Heavy on the floral and fruity notes with a thick, syrupy taste.
Red Raspberry (red): I think this is the raspberry? The flavor is just red, I get no special fruity, floral, sweet notes at all to make a distinction. It was tasty nevertheless.
Strawberry (light red): Hmm, this does taste berry-like. Has some slight floral notes, but again, just tastes "red". There were moments where I was sure this was strawberry and moments where I thought I was mistaken and this was the red raspberry. I've since given up trying to decide.
Black Raspberry (dark purple): This one had a very deep, but mild berry taste to it. It's mainly just tart. It was different from the blackberry just by being more fruity and less intense.
Blackberry (mauve): It tastes like blueberry, which to me, is berry flavors with a strong, sweet, floral jasmine note to it. It's very refreshing and works well with the tartness.
White Grape: My favorite. It really tastes of white grapes which are light, a little tart and have a lime/wine like flavor to it. Really unique and beautifully executed.
I liked these better than the regular Sours mix, but they still leave something to be desired in my mind and palate. If I want sour gummis I'll go for Sour Patch and if I want Lifesavers I'll go for the hard candy roll.

Dance Party MIA
THE OCCASION Euphotic, a specially commissioned work by London choreographer and classical dance wunderkind Liam Scarlett, made its world premiere as part of the Miami City Ballet's Program II debut. THE GUESTS To commemorate the occasion, Scarlett and MCB Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez hosted a post-performance cocktail party for a sprinkling of MCB benefactors, VIP guests and company dancers. Among those in attendance were Toby Lerner Ansin, Ana-Marie and Robert Barlick, Susan Kronick, Kirk Landon and Pamela Garrison. THE SCOOP The gathering was quaint enough with a low-key vibe, Champagne and plenty of mingling. Lopez and Scarlett made their rounds as some of the MCB dancers chatted up audience members.
