Bringing em back to Winslow Way
There was a time when, on a busy night, you would expect to wait for a table at the bustling Winslow Way Cafe.
But then-owner Tom Lathrop sold the downtown institution, and for whatever reason, the fizz went flat. No waiting. Slow business.
The place was advertised for sale. No takers.
Then the bartender took matters into his own hands.
We were told the place would be closed, so I made an offer and he took it, said Sean Halligan, who officially assumed ownership in April.
And now things are hopping again, so much so that you just might have to wait for a table on a busy evening.
Since April, people that didnt know there was new ownership have been coming in, then coming back, Halligan said.
We have a stable group of customers who we know frequent other places as well some days here, some days at other places. And we have tourists and summer people saying this place has an atmosphere that makes them feel comfortable coming in.
The pillars of the revitalization effort, he said, have been good food, a pleasing environment and good service.
Both executive chef Don Donaldson and sous chef Tadao Matsui, a Bainbridge High School graduate, have a culinary school background, Halligan said.
The menu has been revamped to keep some of the old favorites, add more specials and beef up the lower-priced offerings of burgers, pizza, salads and appetizers.
The walls have been painted, and weve done lots and lots of cleaning, Halligan said, to improve the appearance of the place.
And the staff, headed by manager and part-owner Lotus Topper, another BHS graduate, has been upgraded to what Halligan calls the most solid crew I have ever worked with.
While he relies to some extent on local students, whom he calls a huge labor pool of very responsible people, he also depends on career restaurant workers.
There are some not many, but some professional restaurant workers on the island, he said. You have to make it attractive to them to be employed here instead of in Seattle.
Making the job attractive to careerists means giving them the opportunity to earn a decent income, Halligan said. To enhance those opportunities, Winslow Way is open for lunch, and offers brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. And it has started doing catering.
Halligan also emphasizes to the staff that they have considerable control over the establishments success.
The better they are when they come to work, the better off the restaurant is, and at the end of the day, they will make more money, he said.
Another large part of the comeback is Halligans effort to create an atmosphere of conviviality.
I try to meet everybody that comes in here, and if Im talking to two people I know, I introduce them to each other. I like it when somebody walks in the door and five tables say hi.
We want people to have a true quality night cocktails, dinner and conversation, he said.
Halligan got his start in the hospitality business in Colorado, working as a stagehand for a dinner theater. After stints in the Marine Corps and Navy, he jumped back and forth from entertainment to hospitality, with employers as diverse as Hyatt Corporation, where he worked on special events, to Universal Studios, from which he took a leave to visit relatives on the island.
My mother and sister are on Bainbridge, I came up for a visit and here I am, he said. (He is not related to former City Council member Shelly Halligan).
Buying a restaurant made it official that his leave was permanent, he said.
Ive been a volunteer with the fire department for over a year, he said, and Im becoming part of the community.
Halligan intends to continue changing the restaurant, although more slowly.
Well make slight changes to the menu, and we plan on offering live music Wednesday and Thursday nights, he said. Our plan now is for it to be background music, not a concert venue, but if it turns into that in the future, thats fine too.
Business has actually slowed a little during the warm months, Halligan said, because the cafe has limited outdoor dining.
But if it means my season is going to be winter, in the Northwest Im okay with that, he said.

Peek Inside Bloomberg's Gleaming Mothership, Where Billions Are Made
Bloomberg LP is the most successful tech company ever started in New York City.
It generates the vast majority of its revenue from selling financial data through its 'terminals,' which are basically software, for $20,000 a year.
Despite one of the worst economic climates ever, Bloomberg LP generated $6.3 billion in revenue last year, a 2% improvement from the year before.
The company employs 11,000 people around the world.
Of that, more than 5,000 work in Bloomberg's brilliant headquarters at 731 Lexington Ave. in New York. Bloomberg occupies floors 1-29 of the 55 story building.
We visited last week and snapped a few photos.
Come with us on a tour of Bloomberg's headquarters →

Estee Lauder Modern Mercury Eyeshadow Duo ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a limited edition duo from fall's Modern Mercury collection (but it's still available!). Estee Lauder's Pure Color Eyeshadow formula is purported to be long-wearing, crease-resistant, and fade-proof (without a primer). In my experience, they manage to get to eight hours with minor fading but no creasing.Read Full Review
Estee Lauder Modern Mercury Collection for Fall 2011
Estee Lauder Modern Mercury Collection for Fall 2011
Launch Date: August 2011 at select Estee Lauder counters nationwide, esteelauder.com
Estée Lauder introduces a new and visionary color trend collection for Fall 2011. The Pure Color Modern Mercury Collection is a limited edition, texturally graphic collection inspired by modern, avant-garde architecture. Molten metallic eyes become the focus on a soft shimmering canvas and are complemented by edgy matte lips and a twisted shade of green on the nails. Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux debuted pieces from the collection at the Derek Lam Fall 2011 show, creating a look reminiscent of rogue femininity combined with modern minimalism that was truly passionate and chic.
In this architectural inspired collection, skin is softly blurred with just a hint of shimmer, eyes are boldly graphic and flaunt the metallic trend of the season while lips are dusted with a matte finish in contagious shades of beige, pink and red.
Nails are finished in a manic shade of green for an unexpected accent.
Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelee ($40.00) (Limited Edition)
A new "tribrid" system of liquid, powder and gel revolutionizes makeup application and wear with the new Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelée. This first-of-a-kind, "multi-powder" formula creates a theatrical blur of shimmer on the skin when applied dry and a fierce flush of color when applied wet. The unique suspension of golden pigments and pearls float on top of the skin, resulting in a truly unique sensorial experience for skin. The futuristic powder is flexible and uses a luminosity boosting complex that makes the complexion appear perfectly smooth, sexy and glowing with a polished finish.

Please pray for Gods will in my marriage. I have been married for almost 23 years. Totally dedicated to my husband. In recent years the devil has put ideas and thoughts in my husbands mind to where he is accusing me of being unfaithful and I have never even as much as had a thought like this. I love my husband with all my heart but the accusations hurt so much. I am at a point that I am ready to separate because I don't want to spend the next 30 years with the accusations. My husband and I left our church a few years back due to conflicts within the church and I cant get him to visit any now so the Devil is using this weakness to attack our marriage.

I need prayer for my marriage and for my husband. I pray for strength and wisdom in dealing with forces coming against both of us. I pray for deliverance for him from past traumas and his addiction to Craigslist ads, singles pages, bars, curiosity of drugs. He has been saved but has fallen to these "curiosities". I am left devastated, almost separating. I need Devine healing and restoration from verbal physical and mental abuse. I pray for my husbands salvation and to break off the spirits that have leeched on him for so long and to go to the feet of Jesus. Recently moved to a new state and know no one and am not yet a part of a church. I pray for a church family who can help us through this though time. Jesus you are my only hope and I trust in you God. I am still very hurt and need guidance and healing.

Inclusive Environments
You are here
Home › What we do › Inclusive Environments
Inclusive Environments is a Design Council Cabe initiative to raise awareness about the importance of designing places that meet the needs of the diversity of people who want to use them. We believe designing and managing the built environment in an inclusive way is essential if we are to create a fair society and a sustainable future.
Why it matters
Office for National Statistics - National Population Projections, 2012-based Statistical Bulletin
The King's Fund - Exploring the system-wide costs of falls in older people in Torbay
Gov.uk Disability facts and figures
Gov.uk press release - High street could be boosted by £212 billion 'purple pound' by attracting disabled people and their families
Inclusive environments are places that work better for everybody - whether that place is a school, office, park, street, care home, bus route or train station. An inclusive approach to planning, design and management is an opportunity to use creativity and lateral thinking to make places that reflect the diversity of people who want to use them.
Inclusive environments are:
- Welcoming to everyone
- Responsive to people's needs
- Intuitive to use
- Flexible
- Offer choice when a single design solution cannot meet all user needs
- Convenient so they can be used without undue effort or special separation and so that they maximise independence
Crucial to this is consultation with user groups, putting people who represent a diversity of age, ability, gender and community at the heart of the design process.
Inclusive design is the responsibility of everyone who works in the built environment: planners, those who commission new buildings and places, access consultants, designers, architects, engineers, surveyors, property owners and facilities managers.
An ageing population
The UK's population is getting older. Housing provision needs to change to meet this rapidly growing demand. The HAPPI report identified wider benefits from developing good quality housing for older people including a reduction in health and social care costs, as well as freeing up of much-needed family housing.
Stronger communities
The quality of the built environment has a significant role to play in tackling social disadvantage. Nine out of 10 people use and value parks and green spaces, but minority groups tend to have less local green space and it is of poorer quality.
Economic growth
An estimated £5.3bn in lost earnings is due to people who have dropped out of the workforce to take on caring responsibilities for older or disabled friends and family. Lifetime Homes is a policy tool that helps planners and other built environment professionals understand the benefits of helping maintain independence in their own homes.
Buying power
According to Disability Rights UK, 83% of disabled people had 'walked away' from making a purchase, unable or unwilling to do so. The most important factor was inaccessible premises. Other important factors that discouraged disabled consumers from spending were poorly designed products and staff who were not disability confident, were rude or appeared prejudiced.
The Equality Act, National Planning Policy Framework and guidance on building regulations all require new and existing buildings and spaces to provide access for all.
While inclusive design in the built environment is gaining ground, it is still not common practice. Often all that is asked for and delivered is the bare minimum to meet existing standards and regulations.
Building on previous Cabe work we have partnered with various organisations to build a hub of inclusive design best practice guidance for built environment professionals. It covers buildings and outdoor spaces, in all phases of development including planning, design and construction, right through to the management of those buildings and places. It is a collection of resources and we do not promote the use of one over the other.
Suggest a resource
If you would like to suggest a resource to be included in this hub, please send us a link and a short description explaining what the resource is, and who it applies to.

Supported by the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Department for Work and Pensions and other partners, Design Council is creating new Inclusive Environment CPD training.
We are seeking partners to match-fund the initial government grant. Download our sponsorship brochure to find out how you can support this initiative. Our aspiration is to create the central place for people to learn and be inspired about inclusive design in the built environment.
Inclusive Environments CPD

We would like to thank all of our partners for their support, particularly the Department for Communities and Local Government for funding the development of the resource hub, and David Bonnett Associates for generously gifting us their inclusive design library.

The Media's Ignoring a Brutal Hate Crime!
This letter just came in about a murder that's only getting local attention in Puerto Rico, but which desperately needs to be heard about worldwide:
"Dear Michael Musto,
"I am writing to you about a tragic murder that has happened here in Puerto Rico. On November 14, the body of a gay 19-year-old was found a few miles away from the town in which he was residing in called Caguas.
"He was a very well known person in the gay community of Puerto Rico, and very loved. He was found on the site of an isolated road in the city of Cayey, partially burned, decapitated, and dismembered, both arms, both legs, and the torso.
Upcoming Events
"This has caused a huge reaction from the gay community here, but it's a difficult situation. Never in the history of Puerto Rico has a murder been classified as a hate crime. Even though we have to follow federal mandates and laws, many of the laws in which are passed in the USA such as Obama's new bill, do not always directly get practiced in Puerto Rico.
"The police agent that is handling this case said on a public televised statement that 'people who lead this type of lifestyle need to be aware that this will happen.' As If the boy murdered (Jorge Steven Lopez) was asking to get killed.
"We have a gay rights activist in Puerto Rico, Pedro Julio Serrano, who does his best, but the international attention is needed for this local government to wake up and give us the needed rights and proper justice to such hateful crimes."
You hear that, Puerto Rico? Wake up! Ahora!

What is it with the people who go to Sundance? Every year at least one movie renders at least one viewer unconscious. The latest knock-out artist? Bloody Disgusting Selects' entry V/H/S. Read on for the details.
Deadline reports that a moviegoer passed out last night during a midnight screening of the genre film V/H/S. EMTs came, say sources close to the film. The guy who passed out during the first particularly gruesome scene in the film was embarrassed and didn't want to leave but was encouraged to by his girlfriend. He returned to meet the film's directors, Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg, and Radio Silence. Another moviegoer was apparently treated for nausea 20 minutes later.

Posted on 06/29/2011 6:09:27 PM PDT by NYTexan
GREENVILLE, Texas Thousands of people came from miles around Wednesday to see and honor a legend in the flesh - the white buffalo born in a thunderstorm on a northeast Texas ranch.
The rare white buffalo calf, regarded as sacred by Lakota Sioux tradition, was honored with Native American prayers, religious songs and the solemn smoking of a pipe in a special naming and dedication ceremony at the Lakota Ranch in Greenville, about 50 miles northeast of Dallas.
Flag-flying patriotism, a steady Native American drum beat and scorching heat provided the backdrop for the spiritual event that drew about 2,000.
The calf was named Lightning Medicine Cloud - a reference to the thunderstorm that marked the arrival of his birth as well as a tribute to a white buffalo born in 1933 named Big Medicine.
(Excerpt) Read more at star-telegram.com ...
Just precious!
"The rare white buffalo calf, regarded as sacred by Lakota Sioux tradition, was honored with Native American prayers, religious songs and the solemn smoking of a pipe in a special naming and dedication ceremony at the Lakota Ranch in Greenville, about 50 miles northeast of Dallas"
Must have been born at Willie's place. He'll smoke a pipe for just about anything.
Wisconsin had this happen, too. Yep. You can find Buffalo in Wisconsin, believe it or not.
'Miracle.' She had a good run. :)
Ted Nugent was still living in this area when a white buffalo was born on a farm near me but I think the song was a few years earlier. Nugent would have known about it because he and the farmer were friends.
The farmer later said that if it happened again he would likely sell the damn thing before it became a hassle. He made good money off the first one but said the crowds became a pain after a while.
There was one born years ago at Childs Buffalo farm near Hanover Michigan.
I saw rare buffalo once. I personally like medium buffalo.
Yeah. I meant to post the article on this.
It was born here a couple weeks ago I think.
White buffalo heap big deal in Greenville!
Yea verily, faith surpasseth all understanding
Although the white buffalo is rare, it's not quite as rare as legend claims. We've had several reports of such births here in South Dakota.
Still a pretty awesome occurance.

Buffalo — the other OTHER white meat!
And were the Native Americans native to the area?
Does the calf know the ceremony was special?
I have no clue who Arby Little Field is http://heraldbanner.com/local/x1625122445/White-buffalo-born-near-Greenville
He can't live but about 8 mi from my house.
Back in 1980 in Texhoma, Oklahoma Panhandle I had a family friend name of Big Bud and he had a kid called Lil Bud that I went to school with. A real ruffian, as was Lil Bud, but you couldn't help liking them. They had a male and female buffalo.
Big Bud had a picture of himself cowboy'd out on the male buffalo in front of a JFK motorcade. This was before photoshpping so it must have been real.
That female was about the meanest thing I'd ever seen and it actually stomped to death Lil Bud about 7-8 yrs ago.
I'm white and was born in Buffalo.
Lot's of Cherokee gals, but I won't go into that here.
White Meat
I know a white English Literature Professor in Buffalo.
Nothin wild about him. Houndstooth jacket with leather elbow patchs sort of a fellow.
Last White Buffalo 1933? Uh Oh. Bad Omen.
We have a friend who lives in Whitewater. She was biking one day and as she was going up a hill two bikers came past and shouted at her; "Look out for the buffalo!" She said she was hurt...she didn't think she weighed that much!
As she topped the hill, she came upon a buffalo in the middle of the road. She looked at the buffalo, it looked at her. A guy came up on a three wheeler and herded it back to its field.
I'm so sorry...LOL, lived there most of my life...
"How anyone can find mystic meaning in a color variation of a commercialized bovine, complete with ear tag, is beyond my comprehension."
There are similar traditions around the world - herds of white deer kept on lairds' estates in Scotland, the literal origins of the proverbial white elephant belonging to rajas in India, other examples could probably be found.

A White Buffalo haunts Charles Bronson
The White Buffalo foreshadows the demise of the White Man. Our own government has made this come true!
Isn't there some Native American Prophecy about the birth of a white buffalo?
"White man come, kill our women, rape our buffalo."
The white buffalo is to mark the beginning of a great balance coming to the world, peace, harmony, nature, spirituality, ironic when you look at the news. If my half Indian granny were alive she'd say it meant that farmer will make a little more off that one than the others.
. . . . . .and I'd wager that's a partial list.
He said the ceremony was free but parking was $5 LoL
. . . Check out the prophecies pegged to such an animal in our era . . .
They were singing the "white buffalo soup" song.
Thanks for the ping!
I seriously doubt that.
Here's a video about
I guess it's not all bad . . .
Da go Te' ~ Hello
The Lakota people have a prophecy about the white buffalo calf. How that prophecy originated was that we have a sacred bundle, a sacred peace pipe, that was brought to us about 2,000 years ago by what we know as the White Buffalo Calf Woman.
The story goes that she appeared to two warriors at that time. These two warriors were out hunting buffalo, hunting for food in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota, and they saw a big body coming toward them. And they saw that it was a white buffalo calf. As it came closer to them, it turned into a beautiful young Indian girl.
That time one of the warriors thought bad in his mind, and so the young girl told him to step forward. And when he did step forward, a black cloud came over his body, and when the black cloud disappeared, the warrior who had bad thoughts was left with no flesh or blood on his bones. The other warrior kneeled and began to pray.
And when he prayed, the white buffalo calf who was now an Indian girl told him to go back to his people and warn them that in four days she was going to bring a sacred bundle.
So the warrior did as he was told. He went back to his people and he gathered all the elders and all the leaders and all the people in a circle and told them what she had instructed him to do. And sure enough, just as she said she would, on the fourth day she came.
They say a cloud came down from the sky, and off of the cloud stepped the white buffalo calf. As it rolled onto the earth, the calf stood up and became this beautiful young woman who was carrying the sacred bundle in her hand.
As she entered into the circle of the nation, she sang a sacred song and took the sacred bundle to the people who were there to take of her. She spent four days among our people and taught them about the sacred bundle, the meaning of it.
She taught them seven sacred ceremonies.
One of them was the sweat lodge, or the purification ceremony. One of them was the naming ceremony, child naming. The third was the healing ceremony. The fourth one was the making of relatives or the adoption ceremony. The fifth one was the marriage ceremony. The sixth was the vision quest. And the seventh was the sundance ceremony, the people's ceremony for all of the nation.
She brought us these seven sacred ceremonies and taught our people the songs and the traditional ways. And she instructed our people that as long as we performed these ceremonies we would always remain caretakers and guardians of sacred land. She told us that as long as we took care of it and respected it that our people would never die and would always live.
When she was done teaching all our people, she left the way she came. She went out of the circle, and as she was leaving she turned and told our people that she would return one day for the sacred bundle. And she left the sacred bundle, which we still have to this very day.
The sacred bundle is known as the White Buffalo Calf Pipe because it was brought by the White Buffalo Calf Woman. It is kept in a sacred place (Green Grass) on the Cheyenne River Indian reservation in South Dakota. It's kept by Dr. Arvol Looking Horse, a 19th generation Lakota Indian who is known as the keeper of the White Buffalo Calf Pipe.
When White Buffalo Calf Woman promised to return again, she made some prophecies at that time.
One of those prophesies was that the birth of a white buffalo calf would be a sign that it would be near the time when she would return again to purify the world. What she meant by that was that she would bring back harmony again and balance, spiritually.
Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Original Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Great Sioux Nation, sends these words on learning of the recent birth of the 9th White Buffalo Calf:
White Buffalo Calf Woman's spirit makes her presence known, a sign of great changes signifying the Crossroads. I never dreamed I would live to witness this momentous time. Eight other white buffalo have since stood upon Mother Earth. White Buffalo Calf Woman's spirit has announced her message of support in this time of great danger, and she continues to announce the message in the birth of each White Buffalo—each one of them a Sign, each one a fulfillment of ancient Prophecy as well as a new Prophecy for our times.
From: White Buffalo Teachings by Chief Arvol Looking Horse
No matter what happens to Miracle in the coming months and years, Joseph Chasing Horse says the birth is a sign from the Great Spirit and the ensuing age of harmony and balance it represents cannot be revoked. That doesn't mean, of course, that the severe trials Native Americans have endured since the arrival of Europeans on these shores are over. Indeed, the Lakota nation mounted the longest court case in U.S. history in an unsuccessful effort to regain control of the Black Hills, the sacred land on which the White Buffalo Calf Woman appeared 2,000 years ago.
Still, despite their ongoing struggles, Native Americans are heartened by the appearance of a White Buffalo in Janesville, and have hope for a harmonious and prosperous future.
Mention that we are praying, many of the medicine people, the spiritual leaders, the elders, are praying for the world," says Joseph Chasing Horse. "We are praying that mankind does wake up and think about the future, for we haven't just inherited this earth from our ancestors, but we are borrowing it from our unborn children."
Many believe that the buffalo calf, Miracle, born August 20, 1994 symbolizes the coming together of humanity into a oneness of heart, mind, and spirit.
I miss Ted's. No good hotdogs in San Diego.
And don't forget the Towne (Greek) Restaurant!
Souvlaki breakfast is awesome there!
I remember visiting that farm in Janesville. It was on a Sunday in late September, I think it was in 1994. Very interesting experience.
Interesting. Thanks.
What was your assessment at the time?
Actually I had mixed feelings at the time. The Heider farm was about a mile or less outside of town. The Heiders were not charging any admission fees, but that turned out to be a technicality. There was a large contingent of Lakota doing crowd control/security. They (Lakota) directed me on where to park - in someone's front yard . . . which cost $10.
NO cameras were allowed. If you wanted photos to remember the visit you had to buy their photo packet . . . another $20.
I also remember a few Lakota wandering through the crowd seeking donations to keep the event going.
Visitors were restricted to one viewing area where you could see one side of a hill in the pasture. If you happened to be there at the right time a worker would put out some grain in a feed trough and then some of the buffalo would come over the hill into view.
What was impressive was the number of prayer cloths and dream catchers that were tied to the fence. And how the Lakota there were acting, kinda like how we would act while touring St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Very peaceful location. We loved the house and area. Our only complaint was no A.C. In the heat of a very hot summer. Other than that it was the perfect vacation home. Thank you for sharing your house with our family.
It is very well maintained and comfortable without feeling like you're afraid to live in it and enjoy. We simply wanted to get away and relax and we accomplished that. The grandkids that visited for a couple days were easily entertained fishing and swimming in both the lake and pool.
The area information was helpful especially when my dog started having seizures and I needed a vet right away.
Well done ladies.
We remembered our forgotten items when we were already an hour into the trip home. We left a little hurriedly when I was able to get an appointment for my dog that day.
We plan to stay at another of your properties and will do better next time.
It was a beautiful week in a beautiful location.
Perfect for meeting our family without being in a hotel and feeling crowded. Will definitely come back. Enjoyed the view
We rent a cottage every summer, let me tell you this is no cottage but a beautiful home. I'm used to having to come in and clean to feel comfortable. This home was so clean and completely ready for us to start enjoying ourselves. The more time we spent there the more we fell in love with this place. My mother joined us for part of the vacation. I told her when she arrived you won't believe everything that they have thought of. I called my sister in law before she was supposed to come up and told her to pack light, they have thought of everything here. We are big on cooking fabulous meals and usually have to bring a good knife and pan to each rental. This kitchen is so stocked with everything you need to cook big family meals with ease. My 91 year old Grandpa came to the cottage everyday at 4 to hang out and eat dinner. He lives in Gladwin. We also appreciated how open the home is which made it seem big enough for all of us. My husband, myself, our kids 8, 5, & 2 rented but then had family members join us on and off during the week. There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. The location is a plus because its not too far north for family to come in and visit for a couple days. My brother joined us Friday and Sat and caught a huge pike, fishing off the paddle boat. It was so big some neighbors came down to look at it. The neighbors on both sides were very friendly. Although the beach area is not very big it was perfect for us. On and off we had 7 children all under the age of 8 and all of the adults felt completely comfortable and safe with relaxing on the deck watching the kids play in the water. There is seaweed in the cove but the seaweed is not on the beach or beach swimming area until you go out deeper. The lake is very peaceful with very little boat traffic. Everybody had a chance to swim off the pontoon, even my two year old son and niece. I have never been so relaxed on any vacation we have taken. The cottage has everything you could need and more. The only thing that I can say negative is that the beds are not comfortable. My husband and 8 year old slept in a tent one night on an air mattress. Fine with us because she has been wanting to "camp". You can run into town quickly for groceries. We love Buckeye Market. We didn't go anywhere else because we didn't want to leave the property. Lastly Lin, the manager was very easy and professional to work with. Thank you!
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and created a lovely lasting family memory. The house is wonderful, inside and out. It is clean and decorated a modern, yet simple way that helps leave behind life's daily stresses. I loved the openness, natural sunlight and view of the lake. Just sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee and watching the ducks go by was a great way to unwind. There is also plenty to do in the area and my daughter enjoyed the small beach area in front of the cottage and at Sugar Springs. I so appreciated being able to bring my elderly dog and appreciate renters who know that our pets are family members. He was in his glory and given that he is near the end of his life, I would not have been able to take a vacation without him. Our only regret is not being able to stay longer!
The place is great and the location is even better. We loved the lake. Excellent for fishing and boating. Had a good view and enjoyed morning coffee on the deck listening to the loons. We will definitely be going back. The small beach area was great for the kids. My only small complaint would be the mattresses needed upgrading in all rooms. It made for some rough nights and sore backs in the morning....maybe i'm just used to my home mattress. It was clean, well maintained, and easy to get to. Loved the indoor pool on the one rainy day we had and the golf course looked awesome, even though I didn't get to play.

I was working my way through the wastelands of Fallout 3 once again when this motherfucker decided to pay me a visit:
I'm disappointed to say the least. I haven't decided on my plan of action yet. Do I, yet again, send it to M$ for them to fix it? Do I reward them for this unacceptable bullshit and go buy a 360 slim?
Ugh I can't believe I have to go through this crap again!
....... aaaand to top it all off, I signed up to be a tester for the new 360 disc format and I don't know if I can participate now.
Ideas anyone? I've already spent the last couple hours trying various at home remedies :/
I really can't bare to not have a 360, but I don't want to help Microsoft sell another unit because of this. Before you say it, I don't buy used consoles - otherwise I'd end up doing this crap again in no time.
The only thing I've decided is that I won't be selling my now busted 360. Too much sentimental value.

And,if you ask coach Petrino about his team, he'll almost wax poetic on their work ethic.
"You know, they're great to be around. They're always up beat, always have a great attitude, they're always positive, so that makes it even better. They just show up everyday with a lunch pail, and go to work, you know what I mean?
"They're just hard workers. They never have any negative energy at all, and then on top of all that they're good players," said coach Petrino.
They'll be on display Friday night at the Kibbie Dome for the annual Vandal spring game. It all starts at 7 pm (MTN).

Siblings in general are a really special blessing. I have been gifted to have my own siblings which meant the world to me as a child.
When I had my oldest son I knew I didn't want him to be an only child. While I didn't think my family would expand as quickly as it did, I am so grateful to have three children all close in age.
What I cherish the most is that my daughter who is the baby of the family, has two big brothers to watch over her. I think the gift of a big brother really is priceless.
I started thinking about all the reasons I am really happy Addison has big brothers, and came up with some really heartfelt thoughts about the topic as a whole.
Does your little girl have older brothers? Or an older sibling in general?
Comment below and share why you are grateful for their sibling relationship!
They Love Her 1 of 10When you see them interact, you can see the genuine love they have for their sister. It is really a priceless bond they share. One of the most precious gifts they can ever give her is unconditional love.
They Teach Her Inappropriate Stuff 2 of 10Like it or not, one of the best parts of having a big brother is the crap they teach you. They will teach her all kinds of stuff I never want her to know, or strive to hide from her as long as I can. In her eyes, they will be so cool for breaking the rules.
They Protect Her 3 of 10They protect her now, and will continue to. I am sure much of their high school years will consist of threatening any boy who is within a 50 foot radius of her. And to be honest, I am kind of ok with that!
She Will Teach Them How to Treat a Girl 4 of 10It seems like the way to treat a girl is a foreign concept to many boys these days. I can only hope through good parenting and of course a baby sister, our sons will grow to know the right way to teach a girl.
They Will Learn the Difference in Bond Between Brothers and Sisters 5 of 10The relationship a brother has with a sister, and with a brother is completely different. It will be an interesting lesson for the boys to see the big difference the relationships will share.
She'll Grow Up to Learn Loyalty 6 of 10The bond between siblings can really be described as a very strong sense of loyalty. At least for the most part. Which is such an important lesson I want for all of the children.
They'll Spoil Her 7 of 10Spoil her? Of course! Heck they already do!
They Will Teach Her 8 of 10Growing up, there was nothing better than when one of my siblings would take the time to read me a book or do homework with me. Especially my own sister, who helped me through all of my education. I hope the boys will be a strong support for her in learning. Reading to her as they grow, and just teaching her all the stuff older siblings can teach the younger.
She'll Learn to be a Tom Boy 9 of 10One of the best parts of my childhood was being a tom boy. Going out and playing with all the boys, building forts in the woods, playing "war" in the neighborhood. I was the definition of a tom boy. I hope her brothers will teach her to love all the same things they do, and not be afraid to get dirty!
I Hope They Will be a Shoulder to Cry On 10 of 10Last... I can only hope that her big brothers will be a shoulder to cry on in life. While she will always have her parents, there is a different kind of comfort in having that person to have a good cry with. I hope they will all have that important support.

Cameo is a method of engraving or carving in low relief on a stone or engraved gem. It usually features a raised (positive) relief image; contrast with intaglio, which has a negative image. Most modern cameos are carved into layered agate stones. The layers are dyed to form strong color contrast. By carefully removing layers of the topmost color, cameo artists can create shadows and lifelike qualities.

Marvel x Doctor Who - Jack Harkness meets Steve and Bucky
Captain Jack Harkness
I do need this. Oh, but imagine if he met River! They'd be flirting all over the TARDIS and the Doctor would get jealous and start yelling "Stop it you two!" and being all sulky
Captain Jack Harkness everybody! Me and my BFF always say STOP IT! like 10 in everyday conversations
John Barrowman/Jack Harkness <3 <--- that's CAPTAIN Jack Harkness, thank you very much.
Actually, both Captain Jack Harkness and Dean Winchester from SPN have that in common, now that I think about it.
Captain Jack Harkness. (I don't know where to put this...so random it is...it made me smile.)
Perfect. @Shellie Giddings Mull @Alice Cartee
This is two of my favorite people. I love that this picture exists.

Have you checked out the new variety of KFAI's Web Exclusive programming yet? JAZZED UP AND BONKERS is one of those shows.
It's still too cold and snowy to begin planting your vegetable garden, but an organization called Minnesota Community Solar just announced that its first community solar garden is "fully subscribed."
Ken Bradley is the CEO of Minnesota Community Solar. He talked with KFAI's Paul Brohaugh, who asked him to explain the community solar concept.

Rosalie Wahl: Minnesota's first female Supreme Court Justice
Produced by Britt Aamodt
In 1977, the Women's Movement scored a major victory with Roe v. Wade, but Congress failed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. In Minnesota, a pro-life Catholic governor and a public defender, poet and mother of four would make state history when Rudy Perpich appointed Rosalie Wahl as Minnesota's first female Supreme Court Justice. In this audio documentary, Britt Aamodt examines one of Minnesota's most significant heroes in women's history. Featuring Lori Sturdevant, author of "Her Honor: Rosalie Wahl & the Minnesota Women's Movement," and Betty Wilson, author of "Rudy! The People's Governor."
Tune into MinneCulture tonight, Wed, March 5, at 7:30pm to hear the full program. MinneCulture is made possible by a grant from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
Sometimes what you planned as a one-time event becomes something much more.
Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Levi Stubbs, Lawrence Payton and Renaldo "Obie" Benson sang together at a friend's birthday party for the first time in 1954. They enjoyed it so much that they decided that night to start a group, first named "The Four Aims" and later changed to the "Four Tops".
The Four Tops helped shaped the sound of Motown and brought joy to the hearts of many with songs like "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch", and "Reach Out I'll Be There".
On February 23rd, one of the group's founding members, Abdul Fakir, was honored with the Living Legend award by St. Peter's AME Church in South Minneapolis.
KFAI's Jumondeh Tweh was there, and he talked with "Duke" Fakir about the group's great history and classic songs.
Minnesota is known for many things related to weather and fishing, but probably not for its Japanese drumming.
But the state boasts a Taiko drum ensemble that has been around for 17 years.
Mu Daiko is celebrating its anniversary with some shows at the Cowles Center in downtown Minneapolis this weekend.
You can find out more online at Mu Performing Arts dot org. KFAI's Doug Cain, host of program Global Beat (Wednesdays at noon), spoke with artistic director, Iris Shiraishi and fellow performer, Susan Tanabe.
Spring Back: A Cabaret on Resilience
Wednesday, March 5, 7pm
Whole Music Club, Coffman Union, 300 Washington Ave SE
KFAI is a proud co-sponsor of the 8th annual Transgender Commission Celebration at Coffman Union, Spring Back: A Cabaret on Resilience. In conjunction with the University of Minnesota's Transgender Commission, and the GLBTA Programs Office, it is part of KFAI's What's in the Mix series. The event features performances and a panel discussion by local artists and activists, including CeCe McDonald, Venessa Fuentes, James DeWitt, Kenneth Williams, Margot Bassett, and Molly Van Avery; as well as emcee Sol Raz Asanti and moderator Jason Jackson.
The University of Minnesota's Transgender Commission is a coalition of students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members working for equity, access, and liberation for people of all gender identities and expressions, led by trans*, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming people across the U of M and local Twin Cities community.
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Ally (GLBTA) Programs Office is dedicated to improving campus climate for all University of Minnesota constituents by developing and supporting more inclusive understandings of gender and sexuality.
What's in the Mix is made possible by a grant from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. It will be recorded and edited for later broadcast on MinneCulture, KFAI's weekly arts and culture program.
A call for global unity and compassion was the focus of a speech delivered by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet during a visit to Minneapolis this weekend..
KFAI's Christina Cerruti was at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum and has this report.
President Obama visited St. Paul on February 26, 2014. He spoke at the newly restored Union Depot and presented it as an example of what federal and local partnerships can do, while also promoting what he calls his "Opporunity Agenda". KFAI's Janis Lane-Ewart was there, and told host Paul Brohaugh about the president's visit on the Thursday edition of The Morning Blend.
How governments, businesses and individuals respond to climate change is a matter of great urgency for people who accept the overwhelming scientific evidence that human activity is raising the global temperature. Climate change deniers insist this point is still debatable, but one expert who is well known to Twin Cities audiences wants to push the conversation past ideological and faith based objections. Craig Sinard reports.
MinneCulture, Feb 26, 7:30pm
Peggy's Dreams: Living life with Down Syndrome
Produced by Marisa Helms
This week on MinneCulture, producer Marisa Helms presents an up-close and personal account of Peggy Mehen.
Peggy wants to make some changes in her life. She wants a new job. She wants to live independently. And her biggest dream is to be a supermodel. The fact that Peggy is a 40 year-old woman with Down syndrome has little impact on what she believes she can achieve. As a child growing up in the 1970s and '80s, Peggy belongs to a first generation of children with Down syndrome to be mainstreamed into schools—paving the way for today's generation of parents and people with Down syndrome who continue to push boundaries and demand greater inclusion and better social and medical supports in the community.
Tune into MinneCulture Wed, Feb 26, at 7:30pm to hear the full documentary.
Producer's Note: The 1952 educational film heard in my story, In Our Care: Woodward State Hospital and School, is part of a 13-week series of documentaries about Iowa's state institutions. The entire In our Care series is archived online at the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities website (mn.gov/mnddc).

Waukesha South and Waukesha North students will learn about the dangers of texting while driving today.
South High School is teaming with AT&T, AAA, the Wisconsin State Patrol, Rep. Bill Kramer (R-Waukesha) and Waukesha Mayor Jeff Scrima as part of the "It Can Wait" movement to urge the school's 325 sophomores that texting should wait until after driving.
The one-hour assembly begins at 9 a.m. inside the school's auditorium, 401 E. Roberta Ave.
The event features AAA's distracted driving simulator where students have the chance to experience firsthand the dangers of texting and driving.
Students will also be shown a documentary produced by AT&T called "The Last Text" that shares real stories about lives altered or ended by someone's decision to text and drive.
The assembly is part of a series of high school events AT&T, AAA and the Wisconsin State Patrol are holding this school year.
The day is being called "Drive 4 Pledges Day" as students and drivers across the country are being called to join the movement and take the pledge at www.ItCanWait.com of never texting while driving.
According to an "It Can Wait" news release, texting and driving makes an individual 23 times more likely to be in an accident. It also says that more than 100,000 texting-related accidents every year result in injuries or deaths.

After the Los Angeles Kings won the first three games of the Stanley Cup Finals after plowing through the Western Conference, most people, including me, had already given the Kings the Stanley Cup.
Now it is time for Game 6 after the Devils won two in a row to make it a series. The series is back in Los Angeles, where the Devils won Game 4, 4-0.
The Kings will be out to win the Cup in front of their hometown fans and to avoid having to go back to New Jersey for a decisive Game 7.
Game 6 will be a good one, with good matchups and talking points throughout the game. Here are five things to be looking for in Game 6.

When the embattled Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville Central School District superintendent agreed to leave her job last week, she did so with more than two years left on her contract. According to her separation agreement released by the district Thursday, Laura Lawrence will be getting nearly every penny she was still owed under that contract — more than $250,000. About $200,000 of that is guaranteed, whether she gets a comparable new job or not, according to the ...

I wanted to ask about the newest version - latest update from Saab.
Is it 12825513
Thanks Gazo and all for the advice.
I have a 2007 (57 Plate) Saab 9-3 estate
Here is a walkthrough for mac users of the whole process, which worked seamlessly and first time for me.
Go to the file list on Gazo's post.
Cut/paste each line of the file list separately into a new browser window, hit return.
This takes you to Rapidshare's web page. You can activate a free download, or pay a small amount for rapid simultaneous downloads. I paid.
Repeat this for every other file on the list. You will end up with 21 RAR files in your download folder.
Copy these 21 files into a new folder (not essential, but neater) perhaps on your desktop.
You now need to unpack the RAR files in order. I downloaded a piece of free software called "RAR Expander"
Having downloaded and opened RAR expander, click File/Open, and select the ....part01.RAR file in your folder. RAR expander then unpacks all the RAR files in turn - I put them in the same folder as the RAR files themselves.
You will now have a new folder entitled "Saab_9-3_2009_Western_Europe"
Inside that folder there will be two files: 86271-V523A7.ISO and 86271-V523A7.MDS.
Ignore the .MDS file.
Right click or control-click on the .ISO file, and choose open with Disc Utility
When disc utility opens, single click the 86271-V523A7.ISO file in the bottom left window, and then click burn.
When asked, insert a blank double layer (8.5GB) DVD+R disc. I used Verbatim 8xDVD+R DL.
It takes half an hour to burn and verify the disc.
When done, mine worked first time in the Saab SatNav.
I will make a charitable contribution because I haven't paid for the update, but without a Saab dealer, what else can I do?
Good luck all
I wanted to ask about the newest version - latest update from Saab.
Is it 12825513
Hello Gazo,
Since Rapidshare changed their policy and all folders became private, could you change the properties of saab folders, so we could downlaod again. Thank you.
Many Many thanks....
I bought 20 DL Verbatim like 6 months ago, since then every time I put my hands on a new laptop/PC with different burner I tried to burn a copy but with no Joy....I wasted 16 discs only 4 left from the pack.
Couple of weeks ago I bought my Macbook and I went through the instructions above , and guess what it works !!!..
Anybody know if the map are .DAT files ?
Because i need maps for my Cadillac CTS 2003 with Delphi navi, i have the original DVD from 2003, but impossible to find update with Europe maps, all file on the DVD are .DAT files, actually my idea is to find maps in .DAT (or possibility to convert it in .DAT), make a copy of my original DVD and replace the old map by the new.
Anybody know if that possible ?
I wan to open a new thread, but don't can, must make 10 post before
thank you for western europe
Hi, new to this, have purchased a Saab 93 and have touch screen sat nav. How do I download these latest sat nav updates? Thanks
I bought Saab 9-3 from Belgium, and I'm in Serbia. I'm having disk error, so I suppose that DVD is damaged. Does anyone know how to get new DVD or image? If it is possible I would like to have maps for Eastern and Western Europe, including Serbia.
2015 denso europe with someone ?
