Country, Americana, and folk singer and songwriter Steve Young heads the Central Iowa concert calendar for Sunday, July 20. Young is the man who wrote and recorded "Seven Bridges Road" (featured music) long before it was made famous by the Eagles and covered again later by Joan Baez, Rita Coolidge, Iain Matthews, Ricochet, and, most recently, Dolly Parton. Young also wrote and recorded "Lonesome, Orn'ry & Mean", which Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, Dierks Bentley, Henry Rollins and Shooter Jennings all covered later, and "Montgomery In the Rain", which was covered by Hank Williams, Jr. Young has recorded fourteen solo albums, as well as performing in the psychedelic country band Stone Country. He is considered one of the pioneers of the Outlaw Country subgenre and was featured in the 1975 Outlaw Country documentary Heartworn Highways. Young's latest album, the live Stories Round the Horseshoe Bend, came out in 2007. He has performed all over the world, including shows across Europe, East Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Micronesia, China, and Mongolia.
Steve Young will be featured in the Lit by the Sun Signature Series at the Hotel Pattee in Perry on Sunday night. The monthly Lit by the Sun Signature Series pairs the artistry of cuisine with the artistry of song. Hotel Pattee Executive Chef Chris Caes will be preparing a light three-course meal consisting of Three Bean Salad, Beef Brisket with Crushed Redskin Potatoes and Honey Cornbread, and Peach Cobbler with Picket Fence Ice Cream for the dinner that starts at 6:30 p.m. Young will perform starting at 7:30 p.m. The event will be limited to 100 seats, and tickets are available through the Hotel Pattee website for $35 (dinner and concert) or $25 (concert only).

"Yikes!" Cade was given a slight shock when he heard the squeal. He turned around to look at Cyan.
"I thought you were a screaching Mynock at first!" he walked over to the Binjiphant. "This sure ain't no place for a little racoon, like yourself! Stick close beside me! And if you can track Lyna's scent, follow it!" Cade suddenly wondered if Cyan had understood a single word he had just said. Afterall, Binjiphants obviously don't speak human language. He looked down at Cyan.
"Whatever, just follow me!"
In the mean time, Cade had to follow the shaft that he knew went straight to the reactor core. Then passed the Reactor Core would be another Ventilation Shaft leading to the detention area. How did he know these things? He opened his senses through the Force, listening to the hums of the Reactor.
Cade turned through the many passage ways and tunnels in the Ventilation Shaft. At a short distance away, he could here the increasing volume of the Reactor Core. He was getting close. Alas, he reached the grill covering his exit of the shaft. He looked out of it and saw the massive, green sphere of energy, rotating around massive field stabilisers. Only two guards were present in the room.
"This was going to be too easy" Cade thought.

Written by Shira Gotshalk
It might be a sad story wrapped in a tragedy, but ultimately, Beautiful Boy is about hope. Written by Shawn Ku & Michael Armbruster and starring Maria Bello and Michael Sheen as a married couple in a fractured relationship, the film focuses on the resulting shockwaves after their son commits a mass shooting at his university, before taking his own life. Looking for explanation, they question how and why things went so wrong. For Ku, who also directs, and Armbruster, this is the emotional journey back to hope.
"It's like their son Sammy's short story at the end where he writes that, for sure, things would be different moving forward. [He] didn't know if they'd be better or worse, but certainly they'd be different," explains Armbruster. "It was a bad situation and people weren't talking to each other or listening to each other at the beginning and, at the end, having gone through the depths of this situation, they're emerging as more attentive, more loving people, more understanding people, more sympathetic people. I mean, that's the hope."
Both writers have also taken unique journeys to the silver screen. Precursors to Ku's first feature film include a chemistry degree from Harvard, performing on Broadway, choreographing a musical film for MTV, and an award-winning short, Pretty Dead Girl. Armbruster also has an Ivy League past, earning an MBA from Harvard before moving west to make his name in chocolate, as a marketing suit for Nestle. The benefit of their winding path to Hollywood is clear to Armbruster: "Because we're doing this as kind of a second or third career, we know what we want to do – and not do something because that's where a paycheck lies. It feels like there's a lot more free will."
Ku and Armbruster recently talked with the Writers Guild of America, West Web site about creating a crescendo, vomit drafts, dance competitions, and so much more.
How did you start writing together and how did the script come into being?
Shawn Ku: We were workout partners and would bounce off ideas on the scripts we were individually working on, and I grew to realize that Mike was a good person, he gave great notes, you know? And those people are quite rare, when you find someone who really gives notes and understands what you're trying to accomplish and isn't imposing their own agenda on your writing and really wants to help you shape your story the way you want it shaped. Those people are rare and hard to find, so when we realized we had that sort of connection…
Michael Armbruster: And then mutual trust. It started with that, and then we started brainstorming ideas. There are still the growing pains, but pretty quickly we fell into a rhythm that seemed to work, and we understood what the other was saying when they weren't even saying the full sentence.
Shawn Ku: This is our second script together, and I remember saying for the first one, "I have an idea about this thing, do you want to write it?" And it was a world that Mike didn't really know, and I took him to see that world, and he was like, "Alright, I totally get it, let's do it."
Michael Armbruster: This is great [laughs].
Shawn Ku: So we…
What was that world?
Shawn Ku: Little girl dance competitions.
Michael Armbruster: The next question is, how does Shawn know that world so well [laughs]?
Shawn Ku: Well, my nieces were competitive dancers, and so I lived in that world quite a lot.
Did you actually write Beautiful Boy together or did you pass the script back and forth?
Michael Armbruster: Both. We conceived of the idea together, just in hashing it out in conversation, and then we finally sat down at the computer together. I mean, not like he did this row and I did the next, but there's a whiteboard going on and pacing and somebody at the computer. And we did a very detailed outline of what was going on and trying to track their characters in the key plot points and all that stuff in the scenes.
Shawn Ku: Right.
Michael Armbruster: And then we started divvying up sequences, and one would write a sequence and then the other person would simultaneously be writing the next sequence.
Shawn Ku: Yeah. We actually wrote the script pretty fast, and we leapfrogged through it that way. I like to call that a vomit draft, we sort of vomit out that draft, because I don't necessarily know what he's writing for the 10 pages after I'm writing, or vice versa. And then come together and read it, or rewrite it together and then read it.
How much of your script was changed after the actors signed on?
Shawn Ku: We only did one rewrite after hiring them, and it was mostly because we were getting a lot of misconception that it was more of the female's movie and the male was a supporting character, and we always wanted it to be very, very even. It was hard because he's more of a silent character, and he holds a lot of stuff in. That was a mistake we didn't want anybody to make. So we definitely wrote up that role to give him more so it felt like, "Oh, yes, I see that this is a 50/50 film."
Michael Armbruster: Yeah, the balance. She had her friend who was a neighbor, and we wanted someone for Michael Sheen to be able to go to, because his boss doesn't turn out to be that sort of confidante. So we added that scene with Meat Loaf, where he has this random interaction with a stranger, in a way, but he's really revealing himself and his demons, his fear that his rage is what caused the son to do all the stuff.
Shawn Ku: And of course we did a lot of rewriting on the big, pivotal scene. We made some huge breakthroughs and maybe that helps, because we're picturing who these people are now, you know? They're not these nebulous, faceless characters, suddenly now they're Maria and Michael. And I remember coming through some huge breakthroughs in that scene and like writing some really juicy stuff and being really excited to share that with the actors.
How did you approach the climactic scene in the hotel room, the one you're building to the whole movie?
Shawn Ku: We knew that that was our climax, so to speak. We knew that a huge journey was going to happen in this one argument because they had been so tight-lipped for most of the film; this was where things were going to be said and accusations were going to be made and screaming would happen, and it would take them to this place where we knew at the end of the second act, they would split apart.
So with that idea in mind, we went through a lot of rewriting and as Mike said, it was up on its feet a lot for us. You know, like, "Today you're Kate and I'm Bill and let's play the scene out." When do you say the theme you've been working toward and just sort of drop it there? Is he dropping a bomb here? And like any fight, sometimes you say things that you don't necessarily mean but you're feeling and then you wish you could take them back, but it's too late and now you're off and running.
Michael Armbruster: And the thing is, there's so much setup that goes into the ultimate delivering of that scene. That's the scene where they say, "You know who's responsible? You're responsible for this and never loved my son." But I don't think it would work if they weren't going through other things earlier and trying to hold all of that stuff in. There was so much setup and groundwork before that.
There are a lot of quiet, wordless scenes. Were they written that way or ad-libbed during filming?
Shawn Ku: Yeah, we wanted the movie to have, I don't know if it's a poeticism, but a quietness to it. That very first scene of the two of them and he's eating dinner and she's in the other room talking is iconic for us on what that relationship was. Two people, they might be having a conversation about nothing and that's representative of their relationship. It was an interesting process for us to be writing dialogue that was kind of about nothing. Like mundane conversation.
And I remember we talked about that very specifically, like this is just going to be about carrots, this scene. And they're just talking about carrots, but there's all of this stuff not being said. And even in writing the script, trying to decide how much of that we say in just the action, even though it's not in the dialogue. Like how much are we tipping our hat to what's not being said in the action lines of the script too?
Michael Armbruster: Yeah, and we thought even when they learn of the tragedy and how that unfolds, we just didn't want to write, for the most part, the scenes where people say exactly what's going on. There's the scene where Kate is listening to her earbuds, and all we hear is the music, and she's gardening, and you just see this woman running, like sprinting up to her to tell her something urgent. That was all written in the script, but we thought that was a more powerful way to convey the impending tragedy and seriousness of it all than to… I mean what could we say, really, more powerful than that?

It is so hard to believe that financial issues are killing hockey teams in Connecticut. Hartford and Whalers owner Peter Karmanos split over issues with politicians back in 1997. Whaler Sports and Entertainment, who marketed the Connecticut Whale, couldn't run their business in Hartford because of the expenses in the city. New Haven first had an I-AHL team in 1936 yet today they have no professional hockey after imploding the New Haven Coliseum. Now it looks like the Danbury Whalers are being taken for granted by the city of Danbury.
The team has to pay $1,400.00 a game to have four police officers and two fire marshals at every game. This is a terrible expense on the team and the city is not allowing a deal to be worked out where the team can survive. The team would like to pay $600.00 to have two police officers and one fire marshal but the city Council has turned a deaf ear to any negotiation. City's need to understand the value of professional hockey to business and entertainment.
The Whalers have brought to Danbury and impressive list of things that politicians love to see. People coming downtown to enjoy what the city has to offer. The Danbury Whalers have provided the city a great reason to come down in the last three and one half seasons.
*They have attracted more than 165,000 fans to the Downtown Danbury District.
*They have completed over 150 fundraising programs raising over $175,000 for those groups.
*They have generated a 21 million dollar economic impact on the local community.
*The players who wear the city's name have made hundreds of appearances throughout the Danbury community with our "Never Give Up" program sending a positive message to the area children.
Aren't we looking at a no-brainer here, and dare I say again?
Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Danbury need to take a good look around and stop and smell the ice shavings. How exciting is hockey in the New Haven Coliseum today? Most New Haven residents take their dollars out of the city to watch games in Bridgeport, Danbury or at Quinnipiac College. Apologies in advance for my heavy critical sarcasm but look how Hartford has thrived into an entertainment mecca since the Hartford Whalers left. Hartford has never been the same since and the AHL in Hartford only draws around 30% of what the NHL drew in attendance.
Hartford and New Haven should be considered the Jacob Marley to Danbury's Ebenezer Scrooge here. I don't offer this opinion to offend the Danbury Council but I beg them to heed this warning.
Do not follow the path that New Haven and Hartford took in letting a team leave.
Danbury's pedestrian traffic will dry up on what would have been Danbury Whaler game nights if they continue on their current path. City politicians need to visualize the long term impact of these decisions and consider the overall importance to the greater good of the city. The numbers don't lie and the money that once came in to a city can suddenly run dry. No City and the private businesses involved want to see that happen.
This impact is not felt by just the Danbury community this is for our state. The Whaler brand is Connecticut and people do come from all over the state to see the Danbury Whalers. I live East of the river and make the trip when I can and it is worth it every time. If the Danbury Whalers leave so will my money that I spend in Danbury. I will put it to you this way.
I don't get out to Danbury much, but when I do, I am there to see a Whaler's game.

January 8, 1999
With five players who saw significant dual match action returning and the addition of newcomers capable of making an impact, the strength of the 1999 UCLA men's tennis team will be its depth. Although three players from last year's team completed their eligibility, the Bruins are eight or nine players deep in singles this season.
Gone from last year's squad are All-Americans Vince Allegre and Matt Breen along with Alex Decret, who played in the No. 2-5 singles positions and contributed in doubles throughout the season. Although significant, those loses leave room for returnees to move up and newcomers to blend into the lineup this season. The future bodes well for the Bruins as only one of this year's group will complete his eligibility this season.
According to head coach Billy Martin, "We can compete with anybody singles wise and I feel stronger about our doubles play than last year. I'm very optimistic and don't see any team I don't think we can compete against. We'll need time to gel in doubles, but that will come together." Leading the way for the Bruins in 1999 is sophomore captain Jean-Noel Grinda who returns in the No. 1 singles and doubles slots after earning All-America honors in both as an impact rookie last year. Projected in the top-three singles is this year's impact freshman Zack Fleishman. One of the top junior players in the nation, Fleishman is also expected to contribute in doubles while making a splash on the collegiate scene. The lone senior on the roster is Jason Cook, who started in the No. 4 slot last year before suffering a broken wrist. Now healthy, Cook is expected to start in the top-three in singles and also play doubles.
The No. 4 and 5 slots will likely be between returnee Brandon Kramer and transfer Jong-Min Lee. Kramer started at No. 5 last year, but missed considerable time with an injury. He enjoyed a good fall maturing and improving his game a notch or two and is looking to contribute in both singles and doubles. Lee joins the Bruins after playing No. 1 singles and doubles at UC Santa Barbara for two years and has the potential to break into the top-three singles and should anchor the top-doubles team for the Bruins. The competition for playing time will be great as four Bruins vie for the final spot in the lineup. Returnees Chis Sands and Noah Newman proved they are capable of stepping in when they did so last year, while newcomers Marcin Rozpedski and Xavier Luscan will also be looking for a chance to prove themselves. Rozpedski is a junior college transfer from the College of the Desert where he played No. 1 singles and doubles before suffering a broken wrist last season. Luscan is one of the top junior players out of France. The Bruins are also fortunate to have top NorCal junior Duke Nguyen walk on to the team. With a year of juniors competition remaining, Nguyen is looking to add depth in his rookie campaign and contribute significantly in the future. Also providing depth is senior Hassan Akmal who is a solid practice partner and contender for court time. Rounding out the team are seniors Jay Jackson, Darren Miller and Mark Miller who are integral parts of the team despite seeing limited match time.
Finding the right doubles combinations may take a while, but coach Martin has a head start on the No. 1 slot. Both Grinda and Lee have No. 1 doubles expereince, although not together, and are projected to take that slot. Martin will look to newcomers Fleishman, Luscan and Rozpedski to join returnees Cook, Kramer, Newman and Sands in the doubles mix.
Once again, the Pac-10 Conference boasts some of the nation's top ranked teams and offers the toughest possible competition during league play. Five of those Pac-10 teams are really solid with returning champion Stanford, crosstown rival USC, Washington and Arizona State joining UCLA as teams who should be in contention for the national title this season. The National Indoor Championships in February will once again provide solid competition and a good gauge of the Bruins preparedness to via for the NCAA title. UCLA opens Team Indoors against No. 10 SMU, and would advance to face No. 18 Washington or No. 3 Mississippi State with a win. Other tough non-conference matches this season are the home opener on January 13 against No. 22 Fresno State, No. 53 Miami in mid March and No. 14 Texas A&M in early April. The Bruins will be looking to be a top-eight seed come NCAA Tournament time and due to this year's structural change, host an NCAA Regional Tournament. The NCAA Tournament field has expanded to include 64 teams for the 1999 season and all NCAA participants will compete in regional play this year.

I love newspapers: dirty, wasteful, cumbersome printed newspapers. But I'm a bit an odd duck, I guess. Among my peers, I know of only a small handful of people who still use them the way I do. I like to hold them, fold them, smell them, work the crosswords and tear things out of them. I find real peace in a quiet session with a broadsheet splayed out in front of me with a hot cup of coffee in my hand.
I subscribe to the Denver Post now. I was a Rocky Mountain News reader before that. When I was a kid I delivered the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph for almost four years. I tossed thousands of papers, but not before I cut them from their stacks, rolled them, banded them, bagged them and stuffed them into my canvas paperboy bags. I spent my youth with my hands covered in blackish newsprint. I must have gotten into my blood, because my heroes have always been traditional columnists.
Until my early twenties, I was mostly interested in politics. Local and National issues consumed my thoughts and I even fantasized about entering that world myself one day. Though slowly but surely, sports became my primary interest. Politics started to eat me alive inside as my feelings were altogether too intense and I felt too helpless to change things. It wasn't healthy. Sports, on the other hand was an arena where I could accept my inability to shape the conversation. When it came to the games people play, I was more comfortable just sitting back and enjoying the show.
Part of my enjoyment of sports has always been the analysis of others. Sometimes agreeing, sometimes disagreeing, sports debates are captivating and not as consuming as the political ones. As I became a rabid sports fan in the early 90's, there was no internet then: No blogs. No Deadspin, no Pro Football Talk, no Denver Stiffs. I got my sports dialogue from magazines like Sports Illustrated and from my local paper.
As a young adult living on Capital Hill and working in Federal Heights, I rode the bus every day for nearly two hours. The 15 took me down Colfax and the 83 bounced me up Federal. I spent that time absorbing every column inch of the Rocky, from the front of the paper to the back. The Sports section, though, is where I lingered the longest. I became a huge fan of the scribes there, Tracy Ringolsbly, Dave Krieger, Sam Adams, Bernie Lincecom … the list goes on. I couldn't tell you what a subscription to the Rocky cost back then because I bought my paper from a box in front of Argonaut Liquors every day for a quarter.
That was nearly twenty years ago. As I've changed, so has the newspaper business. The industry can't rely on readers like me anymore to pick up the slack. Printed newspapers are barely more relevant than phone books. Some people still prefer them, but those people are few and far between. As a result, we have seen paper after paper, including the Rocky Mountain News, go away for good. Those that remain are parts of large National conglomerates that are fighting tooth and nail to remain in business in the digital age.
Newspapers provide a great deal of value in the community in that they still report news. Blogs are great, but it's rare than they have news gatherers on the ground. More typically, they take the content generated by news organizations and comment on it. When the Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets, Avalanche, Buffs, Rams, Falcons and Pioneers play, the Denver Post has staffers in the press box, in the locker room and at field level, seeking out the stories that will be Monday's news and commentary. These people have forged relationships within the teams and taken the time to get to know the coaches and players. They use that access, along with their journalistic skills, to bring fans as close as possible to their teams. It's easy to scoff at the newspapers and deem them irrelevant, but, without them, the rest of the digital media would hardly have a starting point.
Despite the shifting tides within the media universe, sports columnists for the Denver Post like Woody Paige, Mark Kiszla, Terry Frei and Mike Klis, establish the conversation when it comes to Denver sports. Their features become the fodder for sports radio shows and water cooler conversations and establish the tone for subsequent blog articles and TV coverage. The greatest minds in sports media are slowly being lured away from the dailies by digital outfits like Yahoo Sports, USA Today Sports, SI dot com and even Bleacher Report. But the local yokels with their press passes and their long-held traditions remain uniquely able to provide the strongest coverage of local teams.
As the newspaper business comes closer and closer to a financial cliff we are all at risk of losing that. Perhaps we don't all still pick up the dusty old printed version of the newspaper, but it"s in everyone's best interest that the organizations that once set type by hand to produce them ultimately survive. Without strong local newspapers we would be left to entrust home town coverage to National outlets.
Newspapers will soon be forced to charge for digital content or face extinction. They know this all to well. The question of how to charge, how much to charge and whether or not people will be willing to pay is the top issue facing the industry. Digital content is virtually limitless. With printed material, newspapers have to stick with traditional formulas regarding column inches and layout. These things don't matter on the web. Outlets can also include video, podcasts and interactive material which they never could before. All of this has real value. But how much?
The New York Times introduced what's known as a "paywall" in March of last year. It was the first major American paper to begin charging for subscriptions to its digital version. Subscribers pay anywhere between $15 and $35 per month. Nearly half a million people have signed up, producing heaps of revenue that the Times once relied upon advertisers to generate. Other have followed the Times model.The Los Angeles Times followed suit in March 2012. Gannett, the World's largest publisher, owns eighty papers in eighty markets. Of those, Gannett has added paywalls in about fifty. The company expects to generate $100 million in revenue from subscribers in 2012, replacing dwindling advertising dollars and securing its future. There is a huge downside to charging for content, too. Fewer people visit a paper's web site when it's not free. The Tallahassee Democrat, a Gannett paper, saw its page views drop by nearly 40% when it introduced its paywall in March.
In an interview with Westword's Michael Roberts, Denver Post CEO Ed Moss recently said that a paywall was not in the paper's immediate plans. "The company is doing testing in some of our smaller markets, but at this point, we have no plans for a paywall at the Post ," he told Roberts. "We're evaluating it all the time, but we have no plans to do it anytime soon." Moss stresses that the Post is still bullish on the ad-revenue model. But that hasn't worked elsewhere. "I know there are many newspapers that have moved to a paywall," He adds, "and we'll look at the successes they have." Chances are Moss is kidding himself. The Post, which is part of MediaNews Group, the second largest newspaper company in the country, will probably make a change sooner or later. We're going to have to pay. The only question is … how much?
I've thought a lot about this. I visit the Denver Post web site every day. When I am looking for a subject to expand on in a post for this site I often look to Paige and Kiszla in particular for inspiration. I enjoy the reporting, but the columnists are what I would have the hardest time living without if the paper were ever to go under. Frankly, after having already lost the Rocky Mountain News, I would sooner deal with a paywall than see the Post fly south. I currently pay about $30 per year for an ESPN "Insider" subscription I use far less than I do the Post's site. And, with progressive young staffers like Benjamin Hochman and Troy Renck adding enjoyable digital-only to the site's sports "section", it only becomes more and more worth paying for.
The number I have settled on is $5 month. That's what I would consider a fair price for access to the digital Post. That's $60 per year. If 100,000 subscribers were willing to pay that, the Denver Post could generate $6 million in digital subscriber revenue. If half a million people stepped up, the paper would once again be very healthy. Coloradans could rest easily, knowing that our community would continue to benefit from local reporting and opinions. But is it realistic in a market the size of Denver for a paper to expect those type or results? For the Denver Post to roll the dice on a pay-for-content model and have it fail could be a devastating blow – even force it out of business. So it's a decision management won't enter into hastily.
Now that I am all grown up, I have a full time job, two kids and a mortgage payment. I still get the Denver Post tossed onto my porch every morning but I don't always have time to unwrap it. In fact, about a third of my papers never even get opened up before being tossed in the recycling bin. Since I work largely in front of a computer I get a lot of my favorite Denver Post content from the web. I feel like I am stealing every time I spend a half an hour clicking through the Post's site. I am ready for the paywall. Are you?

Recent Research Developments

|Analytical techniques to investigate the sequestration of anticancer drugs in individual acidic organelles
Scientists have speculated that acidic organelles (lysosomes and endosomes) sequester drugs that are weak bases (e.g. doxorubicin, pKa ~8.4) because they become protonated when they enter the lumen of an acidic organelle (e.g. pH < 6). If this process occurs in a cancer cell, the acidic organelle contributes to eliminate the drug from this cell, which ultimately leads to the cell's survival and cancer drug resistance.
In a recent accelerated article published by Analytical Chemistry (77, 2281–2287, 2005), Yun Chen, Richard Walsh and Edgar Arriaga report on the detection and quantification of the anticancer drug doxorubicin in individual acidic organelles. The investigators used as models human leukemia cell lines that engulf (endocytose) fluorescently-labeled nanospheres into acidic organelles and then treated these cells with doxorubicin. Using confocal fluorescence microscopy, the investigators were able to identify the position of acidic organelles (Green domains in Figure 1A), but doxorubicin (red domain in Figure 1A) did not colocalize in acidic organelles and was mainly localized in the nucleus.
In contrast, when these researchers used capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF) they were able of separating and detecting individual events associated with acidic organelles containing doxorubicin (e.g. event detected simultaneously in the two channels of the LIF detector, Figure 1B) and other acidic organelles that did not contain doxorubicin (e.g. event detected only in acidic organelle channel). After calibration of this detector, they found out that on average acidic organelles contain ~ 10-20 mole doxorubicin per organelle. This is the lowest measured amount of a fluorescent drug associated with acidic organelle sequestration.

Kate Gosselin, the former reality TV star who exploited her eight children in order to reach her celebrity status is returning to TLC for the first time in two years. According to The Hollywood Reporter on March 18, Kate Gosselin will return to TLC for a one-hour "catch up" special.
The original television series was "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which was a show that followed the couple's efforts to raise their eight children, a pair of twins and then sextuplets after that. The couple ended up splitting up and having a very public and disruptive divorce.
Jon Gosselin pushed to get their kids off of television while Kate Gosselin pushed for more television time for herself, something she saw as a new career. That effectively ended the show, which originally aired on the Discovery Health Channel before moving to TLC.
Recently, Kate appeared with two of her children, Mady and Cady, on a talk show and tried to get them to tell the host that they were happy and well adjusted after being raised on television. She asked them to talk about how having camera crews in their home helped them, but the girls refused to comply and wouldn't make the comments their mother asked them to.
The last time that TLC aired anything new related to the Gosselin family was 2011.
This new "catch up" show will focus on Kate Gosselin and her children, now aged 13 and 10. TLC announced that the new show will show what the kids are interested in now as well as the latest on Kate Gosselin's liofe and career.

Human's emit greenhouse gas emissions by burning fossil fuels such as oil, gasoline, natural gas, and coal. The general (though not unanimous) international understanding is that the world needs to reduce its total emissions by as much as 80 percent by 2050 to stabilize global climate.
Boston cannot stop climate change by itself nor eliminate all the risks. But Boston can-and must-take meaningful action. Boston can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020 through more efficient buildings and vehicles, lower-carbon fuels, reduced driving, more recycling, and other changes in behavior. Visit www.GreenovateBoston.org to learn what you can do to reduce your own emissions.

Summer is upon us and so is bikini season. Many fashion conscious beach and pool goers look to eBay to find their favorite (expensive) brands of swimwear for the summer season. No need to pay high mall prices for a bikini; just look on eBay for a pre-owned suit with the desired logo and style. No one at the beach or pool needs to know the suit was purchased used on eBay.
Hollister is a well-known brand by Abercrombie and Fitch, but at a lower price point. Their image is comfortable casual wear for teens and the average customer is aged 14 – 18. The logo is a sea gull flying over the Hollister name. Bikinis in pre-owned condition can sell for up to $30. The tops and bottoms of bikinis sell well separately, so even if you only find one piece, it can be worth listing.
Victoria's Secret is known for its bras and sexy lingerie, but they make swimwear as well. Some styles can sell for over $80, like this blue and black sequined style that sold for $81 plus shipping. It's hard to believe people will pay these prices for a few strips of material barely covering the body, but the completed listings don't lie. Victoria's Secret is a popular brand of swimwear. Completed listings show over 8,500 sold listings for Victoria's Secret bikinis.
Roxy is a female clothing brand founded in 1990 by the parent brand, Quicksilver, so it is newer on the scene and many sellers don't know about this brand. Roxy is best known for its surf and snow clothing, including board shorts, hoodies, wet suits, and rash guard shirts. They make bikinis, too, and eBay shows over 1,800 completed sold listings for Roxy bikinis. Some styles can sell for over $30, so not a bad profit if buying swimwear in gently used condition from thrift stores and garage sales.
Tips on selling used swimwear:
Wash the item before listing.
Check for pilling and holes on the bottoms.
Make sure all clasps, snaps, zippers, or buttons work properly.
Always include measurements.
Swimwear sells well year round, not just in the summer - think of cruises, tanning beds, vacations, and shipping internationally to countries whose summers are opposite our winters in the USA.

World Cup "Fever" Infects Iran Nuclear Talks
It's not only the crisis in Iraq that is overshadowing this week's Iran nuclear talks in Vienna. There is also the small matter of the 20th football World Cup in Brazil.
If things weren't tense enough in the nuclear talks, which have hit a tough patch as a July 20 deadline looms, the tournament's organizers, FIFA, managed to schedule the opening games for Germany, Iran and the United States on Monday, the first day of this week's negotiations.
In total, six of the seven countries represented at the nuclear talks reached the final tournament in Brazil. Iran, the U.S., Russia, France, Germany and England (read the United Kingdom) all made it. Only China missed out.
One small mercy: Iran isn't taking on any of the other countries here in the first round group stage. In fact, the only guaranteed face-off between the teams represented at the Iran talks is between Germany and the U.S. and that game is set for next week.
Soccer-crazy Iran, which recorded its first ever World Cup finals win in 1998 against the United States, takes on Nigeria at 1900 GMT.
The United States is taking on Ghana at 2200 GMT. Germany, one of the tournament favorites, kicked off against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal at 1600 GMT.
Now, if you think such a somber, consequential event as the Iran nuclear talks can't be interrupted by soccer, you'd be wrong.
A Voice of America colleague here heard Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, a man who likes to show a popular touch, say he aims to watch the Iran game tonight.
Another diplomat warned this correspondent they wouldn't have time to talk during the Germany game. And a senior U.S. official Monday made it clear Washington officials would also be keeping their eye on the (soccer) ball.
"World Cup fever has presented itself here in Vienna already," the official said after running through the mixed success of the Iran talks teams so far. "And I am sure it will be on the margins of these talks as well."

I'm Trying to put together a cheap system for a spare room.
I've been offered a pair of Heco 120 S Bookshelf speakers (around 10 yrs old) but can find very little about this model on the net, though I understand Heco make some reasonable kit.. Anyone come across this model and know if they are any good? I'm a bit worried because they are described as 4 ohms but I'd like to drive em with an old Technics SU-V2 amp like this one http://www.vintagetechnics.info/integrated/suv2.htm that I have gathering dust in the loft, but not sure if this would end up cooking the amp? Also not sure if the price is fair he's asking £45 for the speakers but would probably budge a little.

Timeshare Points Systems – How Do They Work?
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Timeshare points can be confusing when you first try to understand them. Each timeshare company runs their points system differently and gives their timeshare points different values. Sometimes as one way of distinguishing that they use a points based system, rather than timeshare real estate ownership, a timeshare company will call itself a vacation club.
But in basic terms, timeshare points function like currency. Timeshare points offer a way for you to accumulate 'currency' from year to year, allowing you the spending power to vacation at larger timeshares or more desirable locations than the timeshare you originally purchased. In many cases, timeshare points can also be used to purchase other travel services, such as airline tickets or cruises. It all depends on your timeshare company, and their options and restrictions on timeshare points.
Some timeshare owners are surprised to learn that timeshare points also can be sold. Yes, you can resell timeshare points in much the same way you sell deeded or right to use timeshares. And timeshare points don't always come from a timeshare developer. Your timeshare exchange company can issue timeshare points as well. If the flexibility of owning timeshare points appeals to you, look into owning RCI Multi-destination timeshare points, purchased in the resale marketplace.
For more on the topic of timeshare points, watch this short Timeshare Authority informational video, posted on YouTube:

As Paul Harvey says: And now, the rest of the story.
The oil issue is based upon long-term supply. Limited U.S. supply was sealed years ago when Saudi Arabia agreed to Henry Kissinger's deal, which was: The Saudis would price oil in dollars and buy our U.S. debt. In return, the U.S. would not develop our own energy reserves. That is when the U.S. stopped supporting its currency with gold and silver. Since then, Congress nixed offshore development, President Clinton nixed ANWR (Alaska National Wildlife Reserve), Congress nixed oil shale, environmentalists nixed coal power, the NIMBYs (not in my backyard) nixed wind and solar power.
The plan is to control the world with oil. It has not changed since President Nixon signed the deal Kissinger made with the Saudis. We have the oil reserves and know-how to fix the energy problem but we will not do it! The deal was made in Washington.
If we develop our oil, the Saudis no longer buy our debt, the dollar and our economy tanks. What a deal we made. The Saudis are laughing all the way to the bank!
And now you know the rest of the story.

Book of Deuteronomy
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Way back in Genesis, God promised Abraham as many descendants as stars in the sky. And now in Deuteronomy, it looks like he came through on his word:
The Lord your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars of heaven. (1:10)
Throughout Israelite history, this promise seemed to be in jeopardy—we're talking conflicts with other tribes, famines, and slavery. But with God's help, the Israelites survived all of these brutal trials. Actually, they did more than survive; they prospered. To give you an idea of how much the nation has grown, Deuteronomy gives us a refresher:
Your ancestors went down to Egypt seventy persons; and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in heaven. (10:22)
For so long, the tribe has been in the survival business, but now they're about to go into the business of conquering and governing. But don't get too excited, because it works the other way, too. The Israelites are going to screw up again and this time,
Although once you were as numerous as the stars in heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God. (28:62).
What Does It All Mean?
So stars = big numbers. Got it. But what else to do stars make us think of?
- Something incalculable or unfathomable. We can't even begin to imagine how big the sky is, just like we can't even begin to understand God.
- God's power. Imagine counting all the starts in the sky. Impossible, right? Not for God.
- The relationship between God and humans. God is making this otherworldly promise (they didn't have telescopes back then), but the results will be absolutely human: more people and more land.
Why else do stars work as a symbol in Deuteronomy?

Miami has recently earned its spot as one of the top cities for fashion but what people don't know is the diverse city is also known for its acts of charity. Cat Walk for Charity 2014 last week's runway for a cause was presented by Breakfast with Santa and their goal is raise awareness to Haiti and the poverty and violence that effects their children.
The event was held at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, Sunday June 8th, 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. Supermodel, Lydia Hearst and Brian J. White hosted this special occasion.
The event offered a variety of luxurious prizes to bid on during cocktail hour. Various celebrity guests dressed to impress. Michelle Pooch, well-known DJ was the first to walk the red carpet and strike a pose in an all-white Nicole Miller dress. Supermodel and Housewife of Atlanta cast member, Cynthia Bailey was the next on the scene, supporting a fierce hairstyle. Tatyana Ali, American singer and actress, also made her way down the velvet floor. Housewives of Miami, Joanna Krupa and Karent Sierra, both in Nicole Miller printed dresses made an appearance at the charity venue.
Also in attendance, was Miami Fashion Network, South Florida's only garment center, that features upcoming designers and creative professionals, much like Gustavo Cadile, an ideal candidate for their services. The designer, who featured his eveningwear collection, focused on brilliant reds, midnight, blues, off whites and mysterious black tones. Lace and sparkles were the main theme throughout.
Seasoned NY designer, Nicole Miller showcased new designs like: her usual gathered cocktail dresses some in solids and prints and more casual leather pant and top looks. A graduate from The Rhode Island School of Design, she has dressed celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé and many more.
Inside the ballroom roundtables with gorgeous floral centerpieces, cascading sparkly crystals and gift bags, surrounded a long central runway. Brunch was served as the models took to catwalk while everyone sipped champagne and enjoyed supporting an amazing cause.

You can find more details at http://www.icmacentre.ac.uk/study/careers-and-graduate-destinations
Will I need to take an English test i.e. IELTS or TOEFL?
An English test may be required. You would be advised of this if we were to make you an offer. You would also be advised of Pre-Sessional courses available. English conditions are monitored by the Postgraduate Admissions office. If you have a question regarding English please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
I have a conditional offer but have not met my academic conditions. Can I keep my place on the course?
If your results are much lower than our requirements we may not be able to offer you a place. However, if you only missed out by a small amount we will ask the admissions team to review your results and make a decision. This will take a few days although we will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Can I defer my place?
We usually allow deferrals for one year. Please email email@example.com if you wish to request a deferral.
Will I have to pay a deposit?
Yes, we require a non-refundable £1000 deposit within six weeks of receiving your offer recommendation. We advise waiting for your official offer (listing all conditions) before paying this. Please notify us when you have paid your deposit so that we do not send you any reminders.
What will I need to make an application?
You will need a card to pay the £30 fee (please contact us if you require alternative payment methods). The very least we need, aside from your completed application form and fee, is a current academic transcript. All other items can be set as conditions to be met at a later date (e.g. degree certificate, references etc).
Do you need references?
Yes, we require 2 references. If you have been out of education for longer than 5 years we are happy to accept professional references from a current manager/supervisor. When submitting your online application you will be asked to enter contact details for your referees. The application system will then send an automated request to your referees. Please note that if you have entered their personal email address (rather than professional), we will require the references to be uploaded on professional headed paper.
How many intakes do you have per year?
Our Full-Time courses only have one intake – September.
Will I need to take a GMAT?
We will need to assess your application to determine whether a GMAT is necessary. A GMAT condition tends to be applied when there is not sufficient evidence of a satisfactory level of numeracy or if candidates have been out of education for a significant period of time. We advise submitting an application as early as possible so that you have plenty of time to satisfy this condition if applied to your offer.
Are there any courses which do not have a quantitative requirement?
Yes, a GMAT is not required for the following courses:
- MSc Capital Markets, Regulation & Compliance
- MSc International Shipping & Finance
Please note that we do not assign a GMAT condition for MSc Financial Engineering applications as we require a quantitative degree for admission.
What is the application deadline?
We have not set an absolute deadline yet but recommend applying before the end of June to ensure there is enough time to complete all administrative procedures.
How do I apply?
Please submit an online application at http://www.reading.ac.uk/Study/apply/pg-applicationform.aspx . You will be prompted to upload your documents.
How long will the decision take?
We aim to give you a decision within 5-10 working days. It can be shorter or longer than this depending on the time of year. Offers need to be confirmed by Postgraduate Admissions; this takes a further 2-3 weeks after we give you the offer recommendation.
You have recommended that I am made an offer but I have not received my official offer yet. Why is this?
It usually takes 2-3 weeks for Postgraduate Admissions to confirm an offer and give you further details of your conditions etc. We ask you to be patient during this time. However, if it has been longer than 3 weeks, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will follow it up for you. Before you do this please check the email has not gone to your SPAM folder.
Why have I been rejected?
The most common reason that we cannot offer a place is that the admissions team do not feel that you meet our entry requirements. If you wish to question this, you are welcome to email firstname.lastname@example.com to request feedback. We also reject applications if they are not completed within a certain time frame (usually 1-2 months) – we will send you reminders before this point.
How many students do you take?
Our student numbers vary year to year but we tend to have around 250-350 Postgraduate students and 60-90 Undergraduates. We also co-teach for degrees offered by other departments.
Does the ICMA Centre have a code for the TOEFL/GMAT exam?
The TOEFL code for the University of Reading is 0769 and our GMAT reference is SH0-BR-04
Can I pay my Tuition fee in instalments?
We can offer two instalments – half to be paid before the start of the course and half before the start of part 2.
Additional information
Careers in Risk Management
On completing the degree, you will be well prepared to follow a career in the challenging fields of risk management, or risk analysis with banks, regulators, portfolio managers, corporate treasury, risk management software implementation, specialist financial boutiques and hedge funds.
The role of risk analyst will suit students with good mathematical or computational skills, who wish to utilise cutting-edge quantitative modelling techniques to develop advanced risk assessment and hedging tools. Less quantitative roles include: regulation; market, credit or operational risk management; portfolio management; and enterprise-wide risk management.
Most of our FRM graduates are now working for large banks in London and abroad, hedge funds and regulators. Demand from employers continues to grow, despite the crisis in banks and associated financial institutions. Regulators, governments, advisors and commentators are unanimously endorsing the call for more, and better qualified risk managers and analysts to join the financial industry.
There has never been a better time to pursue a career in financial risk management.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - With a 7-6 come-from-behind victory against fifth-ranked UC Irvine on Sunday afternoon, the No. 1 UCLA men's water polo team captured its first perfect conference record and first outright MPSF title since 1999. The Bruins (21-2, 8-0) completed their regular season schedule with their 16th consecutive victory and the best regular season winning percentage (.913) since 1972. The victory also assures UCLA of a No. 1 seed heading into the conference tournament, which begins on November 26.
UCLA trailed early as the Anteaters (14-11, 4-4) jumped out to a 2-0 lead halfway through the first period. Senior two-meter man Dan Noon struck first for UC Irvine as he sent a shot past UCLA goalkeeper Joe Axelrad at 4:33 in the first. He wasted no time tallying his second goal of the day and giving the Anteaters a two-point advantage as he sent another shot to the back of the net at 3:27. The Bruins got on the board when sophomore Logan Powell skipped a shot by UCI goalkeeper Joe Wynne at 2:58. The teams exchanged goals to finish the period and headed into the second with UC Irvine ahead 3-2.
In the second the Bruin defense awoke as Axelrad allowed just a single goal to senior driver Rick Merlo to open the period. UCLA stayed within one when Michael March sent an off-balanced shot into the back of the net for a 4-3 score.
The Bruins finally tied the match after halftime as Bruin senior Brett Ormsby scored his second of three goals at 3:01 in the third. Then fellow senior Josh Hewko scored with a shot from two-meters at 2:06 to give UCLA its first lead of the match, 6-5. Ormsby would add another goal to make the score 7-5 before UC Irvine's Chris Peters netted a goal with :03 remaining in the match to finalize the score at 7-6.
Ormsby led all scorers with his hat trick while Noon and Merlo headed UC Irvine's attack with two goals apiece.
Axelrad tallied a total of ten saves on the day while Wynne picked up six.
Six Bruin seniors (Axelrad, Peter Belden, Albert Garcia, Hewko, Ormsby and Ted Peck) were honored prior to the game as part of Senior Day 2004.
Teams 1 2 3 4 T UCI 3 1 1 1 -- 6 UCLA 2 1 3 1 -- 7
UC Irvine Goals: Dan Noon 2, Rick Merlo 2, Tim Hutten, Chris Peters UCLA Goals: Brett Ormsby 3, Logan Powell, Michael March, Albert Garcia, Josh Hewko UC Irvine Saves: Joe Wynne 6 UCLA Saves: Joseph Axelrad 10

Now blogging at SteveSmithBlog.com
Ran into an interesting bug today with one of my applications. A user control that provides messages based on a user's account was showing the wrong information to other users in our testing. The user control was set up with an output cache directive and a VaryByParam="*" setting, yet it was showing other users' messages (one in particular) to basically everybody - not good. The funny thing was, it was only doing it on one server instance, not on localhost, despite its having the same code and same database.
Well, we quickly figured out that this was a caching issue. The problem was that everywhere in the application, the account the user is accessing is specified with an ID in the querystring, so the VaryByParam="*" should do the trick. Everywhere, that is, but one page: the very first page the user encounters and, coincidentally, the one with the problem.
To correct the issue, we (as in Brendan) added a VaryByCustom="userName" attribute to the OutputCache directive, like so:
<%@ OutputCache Duration="99999" VaryByParam="*" VaryByCustom="userName" %>
Then, to make the VaryByCustom work, the final step is to add the following to Global.asax:
public override string GetVaryByCustomString(HttpContext context, string arg){ if (arg == "userName") { return context.User.Identity.Name; } return string.Empty;}

Looking Out My Backdoor
43 comments:
Oh my word, tons of snow. Yes, I do remember that song and today we are suppossed to be around 80. Weird how the west is so warm and you guys are about to freeze. Hugs, MartyReplyDelete
WOW, we were thinking about retiring in NC to get away from all this snow and cold.ReplyDelete
I put up the same post last month LMHO - looking out my back door at a pool covered in the white stuff.ReplyDelete
I'm so ready for Spring - it's enough now!
Hi Penny, We've got an equal amount of snow on the ground here but the sun is shining and it is supposed to get up to 40 degrees today. Yippee!!! For some reason, this winter has been colder than normal and I'm anxious for spring but it won't arrive here til mid-May. However, we are going to the islands in April so I'll get my warm weather fix there.ReplyDelete
Stay warm!
I heard y'all got 15 inches. Wow! We measured just 4 1/2 which is more than we have had any many years!ReplyDelete
Like you, we're housebound for a few days - and I will love it as long as we don't lose our power! It blipped this morning but is OK so far - I took a very early shower and washed/dried hair just in case it shuts down later! Freezing rain now on top of about 4" of snow here - but could also get more snow this afternoon! I've put lots of snacks out and have spent far too much time taking pics of feathered friends and ravenous squirrels!ReplyDelete
Your neighborhood certainly appears different from when we visited, haha! Stay off those slippery hills and be safe. Here's to snuggly hours by the fire with plenty of heart-warming liquids!!!!
Hugs - Mary
Wow Penny, it's crazy isn't it?? At least we have been able to keep power, which was my greatest fear, that and trees falling. I had to smile at the comment about retiring to NC because where we live is mostly retirees who actually live in Florida, then come here only for the summer as it gets so cold. What a lovely view you have out your front door!! Stay warm:-)ReplyDelete
We have rain in the valleys and snow in the mountains. Just the way I like it!!! It's going to be 54 here this weekend which is unseasonal for us. Stay warm and dry. It's a good thing you have such a lovely environment to be snowed in with.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your beautiful home.
Mercy that looks cold!ReplyDelete
We are sunny and expecting the 60s today. Finally it feels like Texas. :)
Oh. My. Goodness. Such a lot of snow. Staying cozy in front of the fire seems like a very good plan.ReplyDelete
It's rainy here. Signs of early spring - leaf buds swelling, a few sharp points of tulips poking out from the ground.
Your photos show a winter wonderland and yes I remember that song; my dh and I saw Creedence Clearwater Revival live in concerts several times.ReplyDelete
I am planting seeds a few at a time. No snow here.
Snowing here in NY...not suppose to stop until tomorrow morning! They're calling for 12-15 inches!!ReplyDelete
Yes, I remember CCR!ReplyDelete
The snow is beautiful, but I expect you are ready for Spring just as I am.
Enjoy your time by the cozy fire!
It's so pretty Penny! We got hit with that snow last week and we still have it.ReplyDelete
It's just beautiful... JaniceReplyDelete
We have plenty of snow and ice here, too. Your pictures are really pretty.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness Penny you guys have been hit hard, and yes I am counting the days to SPRING!!ReplyDelete
I "do" remember that song. Sounds like you are smart to be sitting by the fire Penny.ReplyDelete
I made my husband promise me I would never have to be cold again after spending a couple of winters in the Poconos and, bless his heart, he as kept that promise. Wish you were down here with me in you-know-where :)
Snowing today. My grandson and I have been looking at your yard and we both agree that you have as much snow there as we do here. I envy you the fireplace, though our fake one is doing pretty well.ReplyDelete
I am so ready for spring, but still enjoying this cozy day!ReplyDelete
We got nearly 14 inches of snow last night and then it stopped, only to start up again at noon... probably have 2 or 3 more inches by now and it's STILL coming down. Love that shot of your neighborhood... gorgeous area!ReplyDelete
Gawd, I hate snow! I don't blame you for staying indoors by the fire. A book and a cup of tea would be perfect with it. Take care and God bless, xoxoxo CarolReplyDelete
I am still in awe of all the snow. The last time we had a snow like that in NC was about three years ago and I remember because I couldn't go to work for 2 days. Hope you are staying warm!ReplyDelete
Hi Penny,ReplyDelete
Your view looks so beautiful. I have to say when it started to snow here in Winston Salem, I felt right at home. I love the snow.
Hi Penny. Lots of snow here too. It was simply beautiful, but it's already started to melt. We just stayed inside. I made bread, soup, chili and we did lots of reading and watching the Olympics.ReplyDelete
Your backyard snow is beautiful but I've changed my mind about NC as a possible future retirement place years down the road as it will still have snow, ha! No can do.ReplyDelete
Any idea how I can make your chicken pot pies w/ a gluten free crust?
Yes, I remember that song so that puts us in the same age group, ha!
Can you believe this snowy weather? It's been fun but I'm ready to get back to work tomorrow. For some reason I keep cooking and eating instead of working on projects or cleaning house.ReplyDelete
Hope you've enjoyed your snow days with that warm fire and gorgeous views.
Now that's a lot of snow!! Hope you are able to stay inside, eating good food and just enjoying the view.ReplyDelete
Yep, soooo ready for spring! The power came back on the morning and we woke up to several inches of snow. But most of it is gone - it was a sunny fairly warm day. So hopefully we can get out of the house tomorrow. We have cabin fever!ReplyDelete
WOW that is alot of snow and wayyy more than we have here in Southern Alberta! I am so ready for spring and non icy streets to get back to walkin in the outdoors,,,have a cozy evening!ReplyDelete
That's a LOT of snow for NC! Here in northern IL, we've had a record breaking winter for snow AND bitter cold but it finally started warming up yesterday. Today it was actually 25 degrees which seemed liked a heat wave!ReplyDelete
Stay safe and cozy! And I think we'll all enjoy spring this year. MimiReplyDelete
Stay safe and cozy! And I think we'll all enjoy spring this year. MimiReplyDelete
It's Christmas-card pretty around your house - but what a surprise to have that snow in your part of the world at this time of year! Stay warm and safe inside!ReplyDelete
Yow! That is a pile of snow. It is pretty in pictures but I wouldn't like to deal with it. On the other hand, here in NoCA we are still dealing with drought even though we did have a few days of rain.ReplyDelete
You got quite a bit of snow, Penny! I am so ready for Spring it isn't even funny anymore! I'm hoping most of ours will melt this coming week. It is supposed to be warmer and we have some rain for Sunday or Monday.ReplyDelete
Me again, just wanted to say Yes I remember that song! We listened to a lot of Credence Clearwater Revival back in the day. Also wanted to tell you I am doing a post tomorrow about comfort food and your chicken pot pies will be one of the posts I feature.ReplyDelete
Oh dear, you did get quite a bit, of course, yours will no doubt be gone by next week and you'll be telling us you're ready to plant the garden. #jealous. ;>)ReplyDelete
It is (still) snowing here today, but I have a beautiful bouquet of flowers from the love of my life and I'll be cooking a special surf n turf dinner for just the two of us tonight so it's all good. Looking forward to spring? I am counting the days! 33 to be exact. I do remember that song!
Oh that looks more like where we live in Utah than North Carolina! That is a ton of snow. So glad you captured it in pictures! We have been warmer this week. We were supposed to have 5 days in a row of snow but it snowed in the mountains and rained in the valley which is just perfect!ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos!!!!!ReplyDelete
Today we are expecting a high of 81 here in San Diego :-) ahh....
Penny, I do remember that song. Perfect for your snow day and the great pics. They are gorgeous and looks like you have a cozy spot by the fire.ReplyDelete
We are heading in to the 70's through the weekend.
Happy Valentine's Day.
We have had such a very cold snowy winter here in Northern NJ. I am waiting for it to go away. Need to get our house going again.ReplyDelete
Now I am going to be singing that the rest of the day. The snow does look gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I like it as long as the roads are safe.
