Joy the Baker's Lime Cordial Three Ways post was made in the aftermath of the blogger's trip to New Orleans. A magazine featuring gourmet pasta recipes inspired here to make this fruity drink, a strange albeit delicious light bulb idea.
To begin the seasonal drink, Joy hand squeezed an assortment of limes. Approximately 10 limes were used to fill a jar full with the juice which was then used to produced a saccharine syrup.
Much like most cordials, this syrup was mixed in with fizzy beverages. Just as the Three Ways title suggests, she took from different flavors, merging the sticky substance with club soda, cucumber juice and blonde ale. Akin flavors can be used as substitutes.

Mike Bliss to drive for Go FAS Racing in 2015
Veteran driver will be one of several drivers to pilot No. 32 Ford Play: NASCAR Fantasy Live " Vote: Ultimate Daytona Moment Mike Bliss will be part of the Go FAS Racing lineup for the 2015 Sprint Cup Series season, the team announced on Tuesday. Bliss will join Bobby Labonte and Boris Said as drivers of the No. 32 Ford Fusion for select races in 2015. His first start for the team will come in the Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on March 1 (1 p.m. ET, FOX) "With the top tier teams expanding, we believe our best strategy is to fill the seat with veterans who have performed well in the past," said team owner Archie St. Hilarie in a release provided by the team. "This helps ensure we maintain a healthy standing in the points as the season progresses. Mike Bliss has proven time and time again that he can be competitive in the Sprint Cup Series, while bringing the car home in one piece, which is crucial for a small organization like us." The 2002 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion made eight Sprint Cup Series starts last season for both BK Racing in the No. 93 Toyota and Tommy Baldwin Racing in the No. 37 Chevrolet. His best finish was a 35th-place finish at Richmond International Raceway in September. "I'm really excited to be driving for Archie St. Hilarie and Go FAS Racing in the Sprint Cup Series," Bliss said in a team release. "I'm really thankful for the opportunity to drive the No. 32 and achieving some good finishes that will help solidify the teams position in the point standings for the 2015 season." The 49-year-old Bliss has made 169 premier series starts with his lone top-five coming in 2004 in the Richmond fall race. For the past seven seasons, he has run a full-time XFINITY Series schedule and will do so again in 2015 for TriStar Motorsports. FULL SERIES COVERAGE • Latest news • Standings • Schedule

Strong starting spot at Indy a 'big deal' for Stewart
RELATED: Full starting lineup " See every car in the field SPEEDWAY, Ind. -- Tony Stewart wrapped up day two of his final NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway by qualifying third-best for the 40-car field that makes up Sunday's Crown Royal presents the Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at the Brickyard. It will be Stewart's best starting berth at Indy since winning the pole for the annual race at the legendary 2.5-mile track in 2002. It also equaled his best qualifying effort of what's been an abbreviated season, matching his third-place start earlier this year at Michigan International Speedway. He announced last September that the 2016 season would be his last as a competitor in the Sprint Cup Series. Stewart put up the sixth-fastest lap in Saturday's opening round, enabling him to advance to the second round where he posted the second-fastest lap overall. In the final round of 12, his 184.328 mph lap was bettered only by Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kyle Busch (184.634 mph) and Carl Edwards (184.547 mph). Stewart, 45, credited crew chief Mike Bugarewicz with making the appropriate changes between Friday's two practices and Saturday's qualifying attempts. "I just wish I could do a lap … one more time and not clip the apron in (Turn) 4; I think we could have been on the pole," Stewart said after climbing from his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet. "What we learned today for qualifying, we are going to have to take some of that and try to make a car a little better for tomorrow." Starting position can be crucial -- the benefits ranging from optimum track position to a clear entry into and out of one's pit stall during the race. To start third, Stewart said, "is a big deal here. It always has been." The rules package in place for this year's race is 180 degrees from the high drag package implemented at Indy a year ago. Stewart said the difference is evident and positive. "It seems like the more downforce they take off these cars, the easier it is to race around each other," he said. "That is what you need, but it always helps when you can start up front. When you can get up there and really get working on your car in cleaner air and plan for the end of the race, that is really an advantage." Stewart sat out the first eight races of the 2016 season while recovering from injuries sustained in an off-road accident on Jan. 31. A victory last month at Sonoma Raceway and his ascension into the top-30 in points have put him in line for one of the 16 positions that will make up this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. "We just have been plugging away," he said. "Everybody thinks Sonoma was the game changer and it wasn't. I mean it was Pocono, it was Michigan -- those two races leading up to Sonoma were probably as big if not bigger than what we did at Sonoma. "Sonoma just gave us the opportunity to hopefully use what we are doing to get going in the Chase now." With his final start at Indy less than 24 hours away, Stewart, who has 49 career wins in NASCAR's premier series, was ready to turn his attention elsewhere. "Tonight I'm going to go to Kokomo Speedway for our All-Stars race and go to work there," he said. "Then come here tomorrow and have fun with our friends." Sunday's race is scheduled to get underway at 3 p.m. ET. TV and radio coverage will be provided by NBCSN, the IMS Radio Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. </p>

AJ Allmendinger , No. 47 Chevrolet, JTG Daugherty Racing : From a collision with Justin Allgaier early in the race to a penalty for jumping the restart at Lap 124, Allmendinger's 23rd-place finish on Sunday didn't come easy. 24. Alex Bowman , No. 7 Chevrolet, Tommy Baldwin Racing : Bowman overcame an early brush with the wall, flat left rear and right rear tires and a collision with T.J. Bell for a career-best finish at Darlington. 25. Matt DiBenedetto , No. 83 Toyota, BK Racing : Making his first Sprint Cup Series start at the "Lady in Black," DiBenedetto's 25th-place result earned him the Sunoco Rookie of the Race award. 26. Paul Menard , No. 27 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing : Aggressive driving caused Menard to hit the back of David Ragan at Lap 279, sending the No. 55 spinning and leaving Menard still without a career top-10 finish at Darlington.

Mike Bliss , No. 33 Chevrolet, Circle Sport: After bringing out the fifth caution at Lap 120 following a brush with the wall, a collision between Bliss' No. 33 and J.J. Yeley's No. 26 signaled another caution just five laps later. 33. Justin Allgaier , No. 51 Chevrolet, HScott Motorsports : Shortly after a radio conversation with his team where Allgaier said, "The 47 is all over us," he and AJ Allmendinger collided, sending the No. 51 limping down pit road with heavy right-side damage. 34. J.J. Yeley, No. 26 Toyota, BK Racing : A wreck at Lap 125 with Bliss and Michael Annett sent the No. 26 to the garage for repairs. 35.

All 28 episodes of the original TV series are here, featuring the stories of many of the best-loved characters, most notably Messrs Happy, Bump, Forgetful, Greedy, Sneeze, Snow, Nosey and Tickle, but each story stands up delightfully in its own right.
Arthur Lowe (aka Captain Maiwairing from Dad's Army) acts as narrator and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the world doing a better job. Whether voicing the words of the characters themselves, or just progressing the stories, he brings warmth and humour to each story.
As I mentioned before, the animation is far from spectacular, but with stories this good it doesn't matter a jot. It would have been nice to see all of Hargreaves' classic book characters included (the likes of Messrs Busy, Slow, Rush and several more are absent) and occasionally the sound quality, on my DVD at least, was less than perfect, but this is still a very small price to pay for such enjoyable ditties.
Even if your children are unfamiliar with the Mr Men, these stories should still delight them. One of the best tenners you can spend!
You can watch all the episodes one after another or pick your favourites from the menu. This is probably the best kids TV series ever made and at a tenner even Mr Mean probably considers it a bargain!
Kids will watch it over and over and over again...so you may want to buy it on VHS and hope the tape wears out before you go insane.
Don't worry about the sound quality I found it ok.
So go on buy it for the kids (allegedly) and enjoy it yourself. You'd have to be Mr Silly not to!
Well worth every penny.
Luckily the BBC stopped making them before the later books where Roger Hargreaves' characters became ever more contrived, the stories ever more formulaic and the whole tone seemed to dis-appear. And finally, of course, Arthur Lowe's understated narration is so perfect (and so familiar), it's hard to imagine anyone else doing the Mr Men - a far cry from the self-aware, pseudo-ironic fare we're becoming more and more used to.
However, what lets the whole thing down is the technical quality. For some reason distributors and manufacturers seem to think children don't deserve the same quality of product as grown-ups and are easy prey for higher margins. So it is that we sit down (again) to mediocre picture quality and rubbish sound (the Mr Sneeze episode sounds not unlike when I was a kid trying to tape the radio onto a handheld tape-recorder). I don't expect a full digital re-mastering, but some attempt to clean up the sound and stop the picture shaking wouldn't go amiss. No extras either, although 28 episodes is plenty to keep anyone amused!
So in summary, a great trip down memory lane that will entertain today's children with warm (and short!) stories - just a shame they get ripped off by producers again.
The downsides, well the menu navigation is a bit clunky, and unless I missed it, there doesn't seem to be a "Play all" option. The original film/video doesn't look to have survived well and both the sound and picture is often a bit murky. But until someone spends money on a digital restoration, this is the best we can get.
There are versions available with The Little Miss series thrown in, so you might want to check those out before deciding which to purchase.

Judging from the open portion of Friday's practice, the Giants should take the field at near full strength on Sunday.
Justin Tuck, Brandon Jacobs and Chris Snee were all active during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media.
Henry Hynoski
New York Giants
- Tot -
- Solo -
- Ast -
- Sack -
- Int -
Fullback Henry Hynoski (neck) sat out during open portion and is unlikely to play Sunday. He missed the Giants' Week 6 win over Buffalo due to the ailment. Backup offensive lineman Stacy Andrews sat for the second straight practice with a back injury.
Also, backup lineman Adam Koets, on the PUP list with a back injury, did not practice.
Tuck, who has missed four of the Giants' six games with neck and groin injuries, said on Thursday that "the plan" is for him to play. Brandon Jacobs, who sat out the last two weeks with a medial collateral ligament injury, also expects to play against the winless Dolphins.
Pro Bowl guard Chris Snee missed the Buffalo game with a concussion but should be out there on Sunday as well.

Shelby Lynne
Shelby Lynn Moorer, 22 October 1968, Quantico, Virginia, USA. The exceptionally talented Lynne was raised in Jackson, Alabama, and her life reads like a soap opera: there were long arguments with her father who had her jailed on a trumped-up charge, and later, she saw her father shoot her mother dead and then commit suicide, leaving her to look after her younger sister, Allison Moorer. When she appeared on the Nashville Now talent show at the age of 18, it was evident that she was a very good singer with a rather unusual, deep voice. Billy Sherrill offered to produce her records and her 1989 debut included the standards I Love You So Much It Hurts and Im Confessin. Her first single, If I Could Bottle This Up, was with another of Sherrills artists, George Jones.
Lynne proved to be a very determined country performer who does not kow-tow to the media by turning on smiles for the...

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

You are going to be waiting a long time for the Democrats to regain Congress.
As for the term "immigration reform", that is a meaningless phrase. It is not that we all don't agree in reform, it is in what fashion it takes place. There are those of us who want it when the borders are secure from infiltration of people and drugs. Not happening yet. There are those who want total amnesty, and no border enforcement. Not going to happen, hopefully. And then there are those who want some middle ground. Very complicated to agree to. That is what is holding up reform in Congress. And President Obama seems to be unwilling to have it any other way but his way. One persons opinion vs. 535 opinions about what to do. I'll take the wisdom of the 535 over one agenda driven President.

"They'll have to wait until either they clean house or the Democrats regain power."
They (Democrats) already had their chance. That's what go this country into the immigration mess in the first place... a glut of immigrants, illegal and otherwise. Driving wages down, putting Americans out of work. Driving our national debt sky-high.
We Don't need new immigration laws. We have plenty on the books now to do the job. The problem is, we don't have politicians or law enforcement at the federal level with any willpower to enforce the laws that we have.
The proponents of so-called immigration reform is to provide amnesty/citizenship to illegals who are in this country. It is not only grossly unfair to potential immigrants who are waiting in line but just encourages more to come for the same treatment.
Let's enforce the immigration laws currently on our books... including E-Verify.

The number of 2015 earthquake around the world – 14,588 -- on par with previous years
Globally there were 14,588 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or greater in 2015. This worldwide number is on par with prior year averages of about forty earthquakes per day of magnitude 4.0, or about 14,500 annually. The 2015 number may change slightly as the final results are completed by seismic analysts. In 2015, there were 19 earthquakes worldwide with a magnitude of 7.0 or higher. Since about 1900, the average has been about 18 earthquakes per year. More than 143 million residents living in the 48 contiguous states may potentially be exposed to damaging ground shaking from earthquakes.
Levees may make flood risk higher, not lower
People living behind levees on floodplains may not be as immune to flood damage as they think, according to results of a new study. U.S. floodplains are lined by more than 100,000 miles of levees, many of which are in questionable states of repair.
Bad news for L.A.: Earthquake ruptures can jump much farther than previously thought
A team of researchers Riverside, has discovered that earthquake ruptures can jump much farther than previously thought, a finding that could have severe implications on the Los Angeles area and other regions in the world. The scientists found that an earthquake that initiates on one thrust fault can spread ten times farther than previously thought to a second nearby thrust fault, vastly expanding the possible range of "earthquake doublets," or double earthquakes.
Record Missouri flooding was man-made calamity: Scientists
At the end of December 2015, a huge storm named "Goliath" dumped 9-10 inches of rain in a belt across the central United States, centered just southwest of St. Louis, most of it in a three-day downpour. The rain blanketed the Meramec Basin, an area of 4,000 square miles drained by the Meramec River, which enters the Mississippi River south of St. Louis. Why was the flooding so bad? Most news reports blamed it on the heavy rain, but researcher say there was more to the flood than the rain.
Severe drought no longer caused just by nature
Scientists are calling on drought researchers and managers around the world to consider both human activity and natural phenomena in their battle to preserve increasingly scarce global water supplies. The experts say that severe droughts experienced recently in countries such as China, Brazil and the United States can no longer be seen as purely natural hazards. Changes to the way people use the water and the landscape contribute to extreme water shortages.
U.S. must address the "wicked problem" of wildfire
U.S. wildfires burned more than 10.1 million acres in 2015 — a new record. Wildfire suppression costs the United States, on average, $2.9 billion a year. Researchers say that the United States must make preparing for and adapting to wildfire a top national priority, recognizing that widfire is a "wicked problem" — one so complex that a one-size-fits-all solution does not exist.

Anticipation and preparedness of large-scale flood events play a key role in mitigating their impacts and optimizing the strategic planning of water resources. Although many countries have well-established systems for river monitoring and early flood warning, an increasing number of inhabitants are affected by floods every year. The Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) has been set up providing an overview on upcoming flooding in large world river basins.
Human-induced climate change helped cause south of England floods: Scientists
Human-induced climate change increased the risk of severe storms like those that hit the south of England in the winter of 2013-14, causing devastating flooding and costing several people their lives. This is according to new analysis from an international team of climate scientists led by researchers at Oxford University.
Making slums more resilient to climate change
In our rapidly urbanizing world, access to sanitation, transportation, and other essential services remains a challenge for more than a billion people. In the world's poorest and most vulnerable urban communities, finding new ways to meet these day-to-day human needs not only leads to sustainable development, it also fortifies them against the effects of climate-induced disasters.
Recent summer temperatures in Europe likely the warmest of the last 2 millennia
Most of Europe has experienced strong summer warming over the course of the past several decades, accompanied by severe heat waves in 2003, 2010, and 2015. New research now puts the current warmth in a 2,100-year historical context. The evidence suggests that past variability has been associated with large volcanic eruptions and changes in the amount of energy received from the sun, but that temperatures over the past thirty years lie outside the range of these natural variations, supporting the conclusion that recent warming is mainly caused by anthropogenic activity.
It is 3 minutes to midnight -- still
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists yesterday announced that the minute hand of the Bulletin's closely watched Doomsday Clock will remain at three minutes to midnight, since recent progress in the Iran nuclear agreement and the Paris climate accord "constitute only small bright spots in a darker world situation full of potential for catastrophe." The Bulletin's panel of security experts said that "Three minutes (to midnight) is too close. Far too close…" – but that this reflects "world leaders continue to fail to focus their efforts and the world's attention on reducing the extreme danger posed by nuclear weapons and climate change. When we call these dangers existential, that is exactly what we mean: They threaten the very existence of civilization and therefore should be the first order of business for leaders who care about their constituents and their countries."
Record warm years almost certainly the result of human-made climate change
Recent record warm years are with extremely high likelihood caused by human-made climate change. Without greenhouse-gas emissions from burning coal and oil, the odds are vanishingly small that 13 out of the 15 warmest years ever measured would all have happened in the current, still young century. These odds are between 1 in 5,000 and 1 in 170,000, a new study by an international team of scientists now shows. Including the data for 2015, which came in after the study was completed, makes the odds even slimmer.
Northwestern enhancing local safety with new volunteer emergency response training
Northwestern University says it is enhancing its commitment to the safety of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors by launching a new training session of its Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program for volunteers this April. The CERT program is a volunteer opportunity and training program for community members to help support preparedness activities, community welfare during major special events and organized community recovery efforts following a crisis.
Northeast braces for "snowpocalypse"
Around seventy-five million Americans are preparing for potentially life-threatening blizzard conditions as the season's first major Atlantic Coast storm is about to sweep across the East Coast. Forecasters say the storm taking aim at Washington could rank among the biggest snowfalls on record, eclipsing the "Snowmageddon" storm of 2010 that dropped 45.2 cm. At least five states have declared emergencies as the potentially historic blizzard, which is expected to begin today (Friday), will likely dump up to 75 cm of snow in some regions.
Warmer oceans could produce more powerful, destructive superstorms
Hurricane Sandy became the second costliest hurricane to hit the United States when it blew ashore in October 2012, killing 159 people and inflicting $71 billion in damage. Informally known as a "superstorm" after it made landfall, Sandy was so destructive largely because of its unusual size and track. After moving north from the tropical waters where it spawned, Sandy turned out to sea before hooking back west, growing in size and crashing head-on into the East Coast, gaining strength when it merged with an eastbound mid-latitude storm. A new study led by the University of Maryland's Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC) suggests that a warmer Atlantic Ocean could substantially boost the destructive power of a future superstorm like Sandy.

The long view
The contribution of human dynamics to coastal communities' resilience
The National Academies of Sciences has established a $10 million grants program to fund projects that enhance the science and practice of coastal community resilience in the Gulf of Mexico region. Rather than focus on infrastructure needs or the built environment, as many existing resilience-focused programs do, the new grants program will support the study of the human dynamics that influence a community's ability to respond to adverse events.
Climate-driven water scarcity could reduce economic growth by up to 6%: World Bank
Water scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, could cost some regions up to 6 percent of their GDP, spur migration, and spark conflict, according to a new World Bank report released the other day. The report says the combined effects of growing populations, rising incomes, and expanding cities will see demand for water rising exponentially, while supply becomes more erratic and uncertain.
Changing climate threatens World Heritage, tourism sites
Climate change is fast becoming one of the most significant risks for World Heritage sites across the globe. Many World Heritage sites, designated for their global significance and universal value to humankind, are major tourist destinations. Some are among the most iconic places on Earth.
Year-long heat streak results in new global heat records
Fresh out of the oven that was a warm start to the year, global temperatures are on a roll: For the 13th consecutive month, the globe was record warm in May — the longest such stretch in 137 years of record-keeping. The more than yearlong heat streak also resulted in other new global heat records.
1.5°C vs 2°C global warming: Half a degree makes a big difference
European researchers have found substantially different climate change impacts for a global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C by 2100, the two temperature limits included in the Paris climate agreement. The additional 0.5°C would mean a 10-cm-higher global sea-level rise by 2100, longer heat waves, and would result in virtually all tropical coral reefs being at risk.
Rising seas put Vietnam in the "bull's eye" of rising seas
A rising sea level — for a country like Vietnam, with 2,000 miles of coastline — presents a major environmental and food security challenge, especially in the Mekong River Delta region where 22 percent of the population lives and about half of the country's food is produced.

From Chimp Haven's President and Chief Executive OfficerCollaboration for chimpanzeesChimp Haven is proud to announce the creation of a unique collaboration with Lincoln Park Zoo. This opportunity, made possible by a grant from the Arcus Foundation allows us to work together on projects that first and foremost focus on the welfare of our chimpanzees. But there are more benefits beyond this most important goal of improving the lives of chimpanzees. It also creates a forum for us to learn from each other as equal partners on best practices in other areas such as our educational programs and community outreach.Chimp Haven, begun in 1995 has for many years, cared for our closest living relatives with dignity and respect, providing them with the most enriching environment possible for captive chimpanzees. With three multi-acre forested habitats, chimps have opportunities to live in large social groups, climb trees, fish for ants, make nests, patrol the habitats and simply disappear deep into the forest when they want. As the national chimpanzee sanctuary, we have cared for more than 300 chimpanzees and expect up to 50 more to arrive here this year.Lincoln Park Zoo is a leader in advocating for the best care of both captive and wild chimpanzees. They were part of the successful lobbying effort that resulted in a change in status for captive chimpanzees from threatened to endangered, just like their counterparts in the wild. Their well respected research program not only provides information for better understanding and improving the lives of chimpanzees in captivity, but also those chimpanzees living in the Republic of Congo's remote Goualougo Triangle.A significant and important part of this collaboration between an accredited zoo and an accredited sanctuary is the addition of Lincoln Park Zoo's research fellow, Bethany Hansen, Ph.D., who is stationed full-time at Chimp Haven. Through noninvasive observation, Bethany is recording space use, social interactions and other behaviors of several social groups at Chimp Haven, all with the goal of learning more about chimpanzee preferences that may better inform our care of them. We look forward to sharing more about our unique partnership.Cathy Willis Spraetz ... See MoreSee Less

Our family just fell in love with this sunset view from the deck! We find this cabin to be a very relaxing and calming change from our usually hectic lives, and love to get away when we can. Hope you will enjoy this mountain cabin as much as we do!
The Owner purchased this cabin in 2011
We enjoyed our stay in your cabin a lot. It was very cozy and suitable for our group of five. The location was nice too, many nice places nearby, such as Berkeley Springs, and a nice terrain for walking. We enjoyed the wood stove and the grill very much. The terrace (deck) was the most popular eating spot! We made very good use of it--reading, napping, using the computer all took place on the deck. Thank you very much!
My husband and two sons very much enjoyed our recent stay - we appreciated the quiet, cozy vibe. The cabin came equipped with thoughtful touches, like laundry detergent, coffee filters, tissues, etc, which was very convenient in those moments when you realize you've forgotten to pack something vital. The beds were comfortable, and it seemed the master bath, in particular, had been recently updated.
My only constructive criticism would be about the furniture offered in the main living space; we all agreed that we'd prefer a comfy upholstered chair (or two), rather than being provided with two high-top tables. Perhaps the outdoor furniture being stored inside could also be placed elsewhere to free up space?
Overall, we thank you, Angie, for sharing your home with us. I could definitely see us renting it again, perhaps during the Fall, when I imagine the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous, and we could take advantage of the beautiful deck you have running the length of the back of the house.
The cabin was very relaxing and very nice. Beautiful view off the back end of the house. My only downfall was no television. I didn't know going. This wasn't a big deal, and wouldn't of mattered to me at all but we caught bad weather and it rained every day. But it honestly was a blessing in disguise and made it much for relaxing.
Other then that, it was a great time and we will be returning again.
This was a nice get-away location. The "shopping" and "things to do" were a little mis-leading...this is more of a get away from city life place. The stores ae more gas-station type stores and dollar stores (but the latter had a lot of items in it). It is great for pets and elementary aged children...I would not take small kids (toddlers) there, because there are a lot of rocks, inclines, and thick underbrush. There is a pond close by that was excellent for fishing...we caught about 30 blue gill and catfish in about 2.5hrs. Our dog swam in the pond and had a ball...there is a also a place to have a nice family picnic. The cabin is average size and has most all amenities. The cookware is pretty dated and there is no AC...not a place I would go in July-August, but it was bearable in June. They also had a nice fire pit outside, which was perfect for making s'mores. Overall, we had a good time, and I would go again...most probably in the fall when the mountain should be filled with colorful leaves.
Its was real pleasure for us to spend nice time with friends on this beautiful place. Everything was clean and nice.Definitely we are recommending this vacation property!
Thank you very much to the host!
The property is clean and spacious. It has a nice, roomy kitchen, It is only five minutes off of Rt 50-the main thoroughfare through this part of West Va. It is near outdoor fun on the cacapon river and the south branch potomac river. While only five minutes away-from the highway it seems worlds away perched high on top of an isolated mountain ridge with a private lane in a gated community. It was great to walk on the lightly travelled access roads nearby and see 35 deer in one evening. No Wi-fi or TV-but only a few minutes from the library Wi-FI is in town. The owner is very accomodating. Nice little restaurant for breakfast-Belle Mountain on 50 five minutes away. Enjoyed our stay.
We are a family of four and a dog. The cabin is very well maintained and has lots of convenient kitchen features. (condiments,sandwich bags, tin foil) Only thing I would recommend was a better marker and or directions for finding the cabin in the dark. We arrived on a rainy, foggy night and had a very hard time finding the place. Probably wouldn't be difficult if there hadn't been any fog. (directions could include the exact milage to the cabin) A table for four would be a great addition but we made due with the bar type seating. Loved the movies and extra homey features! Thank you for the wine!
Property has access to community lake perfect for swimming and fishing. Public access to scenic Cacapon River nearby off Cacapon River Rd. Beautiful countryside surrounded by mountains.

Great neighborhood, but very basic accommodation. I guess it's not bad for the price, just don't expect anything special.
The place is quite old but well maintained, air conditioned in the room and new furniture, especially the mattress. The position is so central that parking can be a problem or expensive, the hotel offer a park in closed garage anyway is not for free. The personnel were very helpful and the breakfast was really at 3 stars level even if served on the other side of the road, in the new hotel ruled by the daughter which is called Athene neos it was not a big deal to make a walk.

The future of Fuji S200 EXR (super CCD with EXR technology)
Apr 26, 2010
I am curious to know whether there is any news about a future replacement for the Fuji S200 EXR. Will the new HS10 replace the S200 EXR, or will they be run side by side?
Any scoop about a replacement for the S200 EXR?
Is the S205 EXR just the same camera for difference market region (similar to HS10/HS11)?
At the moment, the S200EXR is priced slightly more than the new HS10. I understood that the HS10 is using a Sony backlit CMOS sensor instead of a fuji CCD sensor.
Thanks for the information

News Corporation's Fox Group and Philips Research have reached a breakthrough that allows vastly improved over-the-air DTV reception to homes with indoor antennas, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
The new receiver/decoder chip set is described in a study published in the most recent issue of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers' IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting journal. According to the study, the research team involved reported successful indoor reception (e.g., a sustained, robust signal) 85 percent of the time.
If the findings prove true in the real world, it could resolve the existing reception problems that have hindered the deployment of the 8-VSB digital transmission system in the U.S. However, other companies have made similar claims of improved indoor reception results--such as recent tests performed in Chicago, Ill., by LINX Electronics. So far none have delivered significant results to viewers in practical TV receiver products.
It's interesting to note that the Times did not report actually witnessing improved reception in a demonstration of the new technology.
The newspaper said a combined research team created new software capable of improving DTV reception. This came after three years of research into digital TV reception, using data from more than 1,000 test sites in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. Of particular note, the companies' study found no fundamental problems with the way stations broadcast digital TV; instead, the shortcomings were in the digital TV receivers inside people's homes.
The Times reported that the study by Fox, the Australian National University and Philips Research, an arm of Royal Philips Electronics, found that the biggest difficulty for digital receivers is distinguishing between the original broadcast and the echoes bouncing off buildings and hills. On a conventional analog TV, such echoes cause ghosts or multiple images. But on a digital TV, those reflections can wipe out the entire picture.
Andrew G. Setos, president of engineering for Fox, was quoted as saying the team studied the reflections in hundreds of locations around the four cities, using newly developed tools to capture and analyze the echoing signals.
"It turns out everyone had made bad assumptions about the reflections and their effect," Setos reportedly told the Times. Using computer models of the most severe conditions, the researchers developed software that microchips in digital receivers could use to filter out the reflections far more effectively, he said.
The Fox-Philips team claims an 85 percent success rate overall in areas that receive a strong enough signal, though the Times did not report how strong that signal must be. The newspaper claims the new technology could be incorporated into digital receivers this year. No cost was estimated.

This Toner Has A Cult Following For A Reason
I have a pretty elaborate skin-care regimen. The one thing that's missing, though, is a toner I like enough to use every day. That is, until I came across Pixi's Glow Tonic. It has a cult following in the U.K., but it only just became available here in the States. And, anything our British sisters are raving about is worth trying.
So, what makes Glow Tonic so rad? First of all, it's alcohol-free, so you don't have to worry about it drying out your skin. Quite the opposite, in fact. The aloe vera in this magic potion makes it super-hydrating. It also has ginseng to improve circulation, witch hazel to tighten things up, and a tiny bit of glycolic acid to exfoliate. Yes, the makers of Glow Tonic are generous.
I've been using the toner twice a day for two weeks and have seen an enormous difference in my skin. My breakouts have been clearing up much faster, my pores are tighter, and, yes, my skin is definitely a bit more glow-y. And, since it has exfoliating properties, it makes the skin-care products I use after it absorb more quickly and thoroughly, so I feel like it's really optimizing my whole routine. Even my foundation, which usually starts to cake by the end of the day, looks better.
Because it's so gentle and effective, Glow Tonic will even appeal to those who hate toners (myself included). Besides, it dries so quickly that it's literally less than a minute of additional skin prep. And, if you can't spare an extra minute, maybe it's time to re-evaluate your skin routine. Hey, sometimes we all need a little real talk!
Pixi Glow Tonic, $29, available at Pixi.

Weed, ganja, pot, cannabis, Mary Jane — call it what you want. Marijuana has had a somewhat controversial history in the United States.
