ŌĆ£Here,ŌĆØ she says, ŌĆ£the pepper butter is good, too. ItŌĆÖs made with banana peppers that we grow, hot banana peppers.ŌĆØ Earlier this morning, these peppers were, well, just peppers, but now theyŌĆÖre an official product of Fines Creek Fine Foods, ShaloskyŌĆÖs homegrown business. ItŌĆÖs something of a far cry from high school English teacher to small business owner, and Shalosky says readily that it doesnŌĆÖt come naturally. The marketing racket, she says, is not quite her thing.
ŌĆ£I have absolutely no business acumen at all,ŌĆØ she notes, with an extra little laugh to punctuate the point.
It was her business, however, that started it all in 2011, and sheŌĆÖs still a success, now in her third year. In need of a legal, inspected location to turn out her jams, butters and syrups, she spearheaded an effort to turn the community centerŌĆÖs old, seldom-used cafeteria kitchen into a USDA certified, level one, value-added kitchen. ItŌĆÖs an official-sounding title, and with merit. USDA certification is no paltry feat, but what that certified stamp really means is that blossoming businesses can have a chance that might otherwise be out of their grasp.
ŌĆ£We want to see it be an attractive space for additional users in the sense that there really isnŌĆÖt another facility in Haywood County like this, this kind of space,ŌĆØ says Karen Hammett, president of the Fines Creek Community Association.
ŌĆ£Folks need sometimes just a one-time access to a kitchen. They donŌĆÖt need it on-site all the time. This is a good way to do that. I know weŌĆÖre in a rural community, but we also can see this being an access for folks with big gardens to be able to do something with those products and maybe not only benefit their family health-wise, but also maybe a source of income that they can have coming into their family.ŌĆØ
Here at the community center, you can drop a small deposit and a nominal hourly fee to use the commercial-grade facilities. ThereŌĆÖs counter space for miles (or many, many yards at the very least), industrial sinks, a newly donated commercial oven and stove, refrigerators, and even extra storage space. Now, with a $3,500 Toolbox Implementation Fund Grant from the Southwestern NC Planning and Economic Development Commission, theyŌĆÖre hoping to add a lot more to the repertoire.
ŌĆ£The better facilities that one has, the more likely you will have ŌĆö even though weŌĆÖre far out ŌĆö people come and use it,ŌĆØ says Hammett.
Currently theyŌĆÖve got big designs on the cash, mostly in the form of various necessary safety upgrades ŌĆö fire suppression systems, ventilation upgrades and the like ŌĆö that will pull the space out of the 1960s and make it safe and compliant for the long term.
But there are other, bigger ideas too, if thereŌĆÖs any money left over.
ŌĆ£We are hoping to get a dishwasher and refrigeration equipment,ŌĆØ says Shalosky, looking longingly towards a wall of mismatched residential refrigerators and the large, but still not automated, dish sink in the corner. ŌĆ£It would be nice. A little bit at a time.ŌĆØ
The dollars come as a matching grant, so to get the money, they must come up with another $3,500 on their own. But those contributions can be in the form of donations, like the Vulcan oven waiting to be installed in its new home, or in-kind gifts such as volunteer hours logged making improvements or tradesmen donating their expertise.
The association hopes the upgrades will provide a more versatile workspace with room to grow. The pantry is currently home to Shalosky, with her supplies and inventory, to Chef Ricardo Fernandez, one-time owner of WaynesvilleŌĆÖs storied Lomo Grill and current cooking sauce king, who also holds cooking classes at the center, and a few other entrepreneurs, have carved out their niches. The remaining floor-to-ceiling shelves are dotted with stray equipment, but mostly, theyŌĆÖre waiting for the next brilliant baker, aspiring jam artist or future canning connoisseur to call them home.

No. 8 LSU outlasts Ole Miss, 41-35AP Photo
LSU running back Jeremy Hill rushes past Mississippi defensive back Trae Elston on a 27-yard touchdown carry during the first half of the Tigers 41-35 victory on Saturday.
BATON ROUGE, La. In a joyous, raving, almost delirious rant, Les Miles gushed over his teams inexorable determination and urged LSU fans to put their arms around his players and give them a big kiss on the mouth.
Miles is known to get a little loopy and emotional at times, so his comments hardly seemed out of character after a classic contest with historical rival Ole Miss that even evoked memories of Billy Cannons famous Halloween night punt return in 1959.
Jeremy Hill scored his third touchdown with 15 seconds left to lift the Tigers to a 41-35 victory over relentless but mistake-prone Mississippi on Saturday.
Im proud of those men, Miles said of his team. How easy it could of have been to say it was (Ole Miss) night. Spectacular group of men. ... Wow! What a game!
The game included seven turnovers, numerous momentum swings and long touchdowns, perhaps none better than Odell Beckham Jr.s 89-yard punt return for a score that evoked memories of Cannons famous return against the same team, along the same sideline, for the same yardage back in 1959.
That was maybe the biggest momentum changer in the game, Miles said, adding giddily, Is it Halloween night?
Beckham eluded numerous tacklers, slipping one as he traversed the field, then broke away from pursuers down the right sideline toward the north end zone while teammate Jarvis Landry waved him along with windmill motion.
Everyone had their block, everyone had their man and everyone covered their assignments, Beckham said. I saw a crease and I just hit it. ... It was an amazing experience and definitely changed the momentum of the game.
Beckhams return tied the game at 35, but LSU (9-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) still needed a pair of clutch sacks by Anthony Johnson and Lavar Edwards to drive Ole Miss (5-6, 2-5) out of routine field goal range later in the fourth quarter. Bryson Rose then pushed a 53-yard kick wide right, setting up the winning drive.
Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace passed for 310 yards and two TDs and ran for two scores, but also was intercepted three times. His touchdowns went Donte Moncrief, the first for 56 yards and the second for 30. Wallaces first score came on a 58-yard run.
Ive been coaching a long time, maybe not at this level, but this here is one of the most difficult locker rooms to be in this year, first-year coach Hugh Freeze said. Our kids just fought for our university and our fans and they should be proud of that. We just cant seem to get that stop when we have to have one, or that touchdown when we have to have one.
Zach Mettenberger completed 22 of 37 passes for 282 yards and was intercepted twice. Hill finished with 77 yards rushing, including a 27 yard run for his first TD. Spencer Ware had LSUs other touchdown on a leap over the pile on fourth-and-goal from the 1.
I never thought at any point we were going to lose that game, Mettenberger said. We had control of the game. We had a couple of turnovers but we had been driving the ball well all night and the passing game was there. We just have to clean up the turnovers and we still won. Hopefully we can go into next week against Arkansas and do the same thing.
LSU heads into that game still technically alive for an SEC title if the Tigers beat the Razorbacks, while Texas A&M beats Missouri and Auburn upsets Alabama. That would create a three-way tie in the SEC West that LSU would win.
The Ole Miss turnovers gave LSU multiple opportunities to seize control, but the Tigers had three drives stall inside the Mississippi 10. Two of them ended with field goals and another with Senquez Golsons interception in the end zone, a play that allowed the Rebels to cling to a 21-20 lead in the third quarter.
Everything we were doing was working, Wallace said. We executed for the most part, but there were still times that we were shooting ourselves in the foot. We have to eliminate that.
Mississippi then widened its lead to 28-20 on a drive set up by Golsons second interception. Randall Mackeys 6-yard scoring run capped it.
LSU rallied to tie it on Hills 1-yard touchdown run around the left side and a 2-point conversion on Mettenbergers pass to Ware, but the Rebels marched right back down the field in 28 seconds to regain the lead, 35-28, on Wallaces pass to Moncrief along the left sideline.
That, however, would be the final points for a Mississippi team that is one win from bowl eligibility and made it clear early on it was not going to lay down against an LSU team favored by more than two touchdowns.
No. 3 Notre Dame stayed undefeated with an uncharacteristically easy victory at home and then had the rest of the night to root for the upset it needs to move into position to play for the BCS title.
The Fighting Irish hammered Wake Forest 38-0 on senior day in South Bend, Ind.
Notre Dame remained undefeated, and will likely stay stuck in third-place in the BCS standings unless Kansas State or Oregon loses.
The second-ranked Wildcats were at Big 12 rival Baylor on Saturday night. No. 1 Oregon was hosting No. 14 Stanford in a game that could decide the Pac-12 North.
No. 3 NOTRE DAME 38, WAKE FOREST 0
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Everett Golson threw touchdown passes of 50, 34 and 2 yards, Cierre Wood scored on a 68-yard run and Notre Dame finished the season undefeated at home for the first time since 1998.
The Fighting Irish improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1989 and need to beat Southern California to finish a regular season undefeated for the first time since 1988, the last time they won a national championship. The Demon Deacons (5-6) fell to 1-33 all-time against top 5 teams, their lone win coming against No. 4 Tennessee in 1946.
No. 4 ALABAMA 49, WESTERN CAROLINA 0
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Eddie Lacy rushed for three first-half touchdowns and AJ McCarron set Alabamas single-season record for passing TDs.
The Crimson Tide (10-1) rebounded from a loss to No. 9 Texas A&M by building a 42-0 halftime lead against the Catamounts (1-10), a Football Championship Subdivision team with two wins in as many seasons. It was Alabamas third shutout of the season.
McCarron completed all six of his attempts for 133 yards and his 21st touchdown before exiting midway through the second quarter. Lacy ran for 99 yards on 10 carries with two 7-yard touchdowns and a 3-yarder. Neither played after halftime.
No. 5 GEORGIA 45, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 14
ATHENS, Ga. Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes and Todd Gurley became only the second true freshman in Georgia history to rush for 1,000 yards.
Georgia (10-1) reached 10 wins for the eighth time in Mark Richts dozen seasons as coach. Georgia Southern (8-3) had a shot at the halftime lead, only to get scuttled by a penalty, and Murray took control from there.
He completed a 24-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Mitchell with just 4 seconds left in the half, sending Georgia to the locker room with a 17-7 lead. In the third quarter, Murray hooked up with Chris Conley on a pair of scoring passes, sandwiched around a 43-yarder to Tavarres King.
No. 6 OHIO STATE 21, WISCONSIN 14
MADISON, Wis. Carlos Hyde scored on a 2-yard run in overtime and the Buckeyes stayed perfect.
The Buckeyes (11-0, 7-0) clinched the Leaders Division title outright with the win. But they are ineligible for the postseason as part of their punishment for NCAA violations under former coach Jim Tressel, and the best they can hope for is to end the year unbeaten and to maybe capture the AP Top 25 title.
Montee Ball scored his 78th touchdown, tying Travis Prentices major-college record for career scores. But he fumbled on what would have been the record-breaker with 2:46 left in regulation.
No. 7 FLORIDA 23, JACKSONVILLE STATE 0
GAINESVILLE, Fla. No. 7 Florida used a strong defensive effort to overcome a sluggish offensive performance.
The Gators scored a touchdown on their first possession when Mike Gillislee plowed into the end zone from 7 yards out. But that was the only offensive touchdown all day from Florida.
The Gators (10-1) also scored on a 7-yard interception return by Jonathan Bostic early in the third quarter. Caleb Sturgis added three field goals from 21, 44 and 47 yards out to complete the scoring.
Floridas defense allowed a 76-yard pass completion on the first play of the game, but held the Gamecocks to 176 total yards the rest of the game. Jacksonville State, an FCS program that plays in the Ohio Valley Conference, completed its season with a 6-5 record.
No. 9 TEXAS A&M 47, SAM HOUSTON ST. 28
COLLEGE STATION, Texas Johnny Manziel threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for 100 yards and two more scores in a bit more than a half for Texas A&M.
The redshirt freshman threw an 89-yard touchdown pass to Uzoma Nwachukwu on A&Ms first offensive play of the second half. The dual-threat quarterback then attempted the extra point, but it sailed wide right, ending the Heisman hopefuls day with A&M (9-2) leading 40-0.
He broke the NCAA freshman quarterback rushing record of 1,029 set by Missouris Brad Smith in 2002, and the freshman record for total offense of 3,827 set in 2000 by Jared Lorenzen on A&Ms first drive. He also became the fifth player and first freshman in FBS history to pass for at least 3,000 yards with at least 1,000 yards rushing in a season.
His 4,161 yards are a school record for total offense in a season.
No. 10 FLORIDA STATE 41, MARYLAND 14
COLLEGE PARK, Md. Devonta Freeman ran for 148 yards and two touchdowns as Florida State earned a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Florida State (10-1, 7-1) led 27-0 at halftime and cruised to its fifth straight victory. The Seminoles clinched the leagues Atlantic Division title for the second time in three years and will play for its 13th ACC crown on Dec. 1.
EJ Manuel completed 17 of 23 passes for 144 yards and two scores to supplement a running game that gained 237 yards.
Operating against an injury-plagued Maryland team using a linebacker at quarterback, Florida State allowed 170 yards.
No. 11 CLEMSON 62, NORTH CAROLINA STATE 48
CLEMSON, S.C. Tajh Boyd threw for five touchdowns and ran for three more scores to lead Clemson to a record-shattering win.
The Tigers (10-1, 7-1 Atlantic Coast) gained 754 yards, two off the school record. The 110 combined points were just seven off the ACC record set by Georgia Tech and North Carolina last week.
The Wolfpack (6-5, 3-4) led 24-13 early in the second quarter before Clemson scored 42 straight. Boyd was responsible for every Clemson touchdown. The junior was 30-for-44 for 426 yards and ran for 105 yards the combined 531 yards set another school record.
The Tigers won a share of the ACCs Atlantic Division title, but the loss to Florida State keeps them out of the title game.
No. 12 SOUTH CAROLINA 24, WOFFORD 7
COLUMBIA, S.C. Kenny Miles rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown and South Carolina pulled out a closer-than-expected 24-7 win over an FCS opponent.
The victory gave Steve Spurrier his 64th win in eight seasons with the Gamecocks (9-2), tying him with Rex Enright for most ever in program history. But it wasnt until a 17-point fourth quarter that Spurrier and South Carolina could rest easy in this one.
Adam Yates 23-yard field goal broke a 7-all tie with 11:57 to go. After the Terriers (8-3) failed on a 4th-and-1 at their 34, Connor Shaw threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Ace Sanders to widen the lead.
Moments later, Woffords Eric Breitenstein fumbled and Akeem Auguste returned it 31 yards for a touchdown, making it 24-7.
It was the Gamecocks 11th straight win at Williams-Brice Stadium and completed their first perfect run at home (7-0) since 1987.
No. 16 NEBRASKA 38, MINNESOTA 14
LINCOLN, Neb. Taylor Martinez threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns to Kenny Bell while becoming Nebraskas career passing leader.
The Cornhuskers (9-2, 6-1), who had to come from behind in the second half in four of its first five Big Ten wins, scored on four of their first six possessions against the Gophers (6-5, 2-5).
No. 17 UCLA 38, No. 21 USC 28
PASADENA, Calif. Brett Hundley passed for 234 yards and a touchdown and rushed for two more scores as UCLA clinched the Pac-12 South title and snapped a five-game losing streak in the crosstown rivalry.
Eric Kendricks blocked a punt and made a fourth-quarter interception for the Bruins (9-2, 6-2 Pac-12), who overcame intermittent second-half rain and USCs star-studded lineup for a gutsy victory that puts them atop Los Angeles football.
A year after USC obliterated the Bruins 50-0 in a game that led to a coaching change in Westwood, UCLA punctuated its one-year revitalization under Jim Mora with its first win over the Trojans (7-4, 5-4) since 2006 just their second in 14 years.
UTAH STATE 48, No. 19 LOUISIANA TECH 41, OT
RUSTON, La. Kerwynn Williams scored on a 4-yard touchdown run to give Utah State a lead in overtime and the Aggies stopped Louisiana Tech on four plays to win and clinch at least a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship.
No. 22 RUTGERS 10, CINCINNATI 3
CINCINNATI Savon Huggins ran for a career-high 179 yards, and Rutgers defense had another shut-down showing and the Scarlet Knights stayed in control of the Big East.
Rutgers (9-1, 5-0) remained the only unbeaten team in conference play. The Scarlet Knights finish with games at Pittsburgh and home against No. 20 Louisville, which has one Big East loss.
Huggins filled in for the injured Jawan Jamison and had a career day all around, leading an offense that did just enough. Gary Nova threw a 71-yard touchdown pass to Mark Harrison in the second quarter, and Nick Borgese made a 42-yard field goal in the fourth.
The leagues top defense took it from there, shutting out Cincinnati (7-3, 3-2) until Tony Miliano kicked a 36-yard field goal with 11 seconds left.
No. 23 MICHIGAN 42, IOWA 17
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Devin Gardner accounted for six touchdowns to help Michigan rout Iowa.
The Wolverines (8-3, 6-1 Big Ten) werent stopped on offense by the hapless Hawkeyes (4-7, 2-5) until Gardner threw an interception early in the fourth quarter.
Gardner threw three touchdowns and ran for three scores. He became the first Michigan quarterback to account for six TDs since 1983 when Steve Smith had as many passing and rushing scores in a game at Minnesota.
Denard Robinson started at running back and took snaps at quarterback and ran 13 times for 98 yards in his last home game.
Iowa has lost five straight.
OKLAHOMA STATE 59, No. 23 TEXAS TECH 21
STILLWATER, Okla. Isaiah Anderson had a career-best 174 yards receiving and caught three long touchdown passes from Clint Chelf in his final home game for Oklahoma State.
Zack Craig blocked a pair of punts, returning one for a touchdown, as the Cowboys (7-3, 5-2 Big 12) won their fourth straight in the series and the second in a row in decisive fashion. The Red Raiders 66-6 loss in last seasons game was the most lopsided defeat in the programs history.
Chelf passed for 229 yards in his second career start. J.W. Walsh, who had what coach Mike Gundy called a season-ending injury four weeks ago, ran for one touchdown and threw for another out of a short-yardage package.
Seth Doege threw for 230 yards with two interceptions and a single touchdown pass for Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4).
No. 25 KENT STATE 31, BOWLING GREEN 24

1] I thought it was a decent performace really considering the preperation. Some of the defence was very good especially our scrambling defence. Sayeeeeeds monster hit was worth the admission price alone. We didnt click in attack but it wasnt really our pitch or weather to do that so im not overly concerened. It was really our first decent hit up and in that sense it was a good game for us and as strange as it seems the result will do us a favour. A loss early doors takes some of the pressure off because no one will remember the circumstances but just the result.
Gareth Hewer was a disgrace. He didnt cost us the game or anything like that but a few of his decisions were poor to say the least. Sheffield player held up over our line, he gave a 20 metre restart. Sheffield kick touches one of our players and hits the corner flag, he was giving a 10 metre scrum until the linesman intervined. Patterson kicks ahead chases the kick and makes the tackle himself, the genius Hewer is gives a penalty for offside. I mean hes got bright red boots on how did he not know he had kicked it. Tamghart gets a clear spear tackle against him, no penalty. We get penalised for not playing the ball correctly but 2 out of the next five play the balls are not played by the players foot.
Overall Sheffield are dark horses for me, they probably have the 3rd best team on paper in the league and may go under the radar so to speak of a lot of teams. So on that basis i dont think its a bad result.
2] Sheff will always deserve some credit as they play to their strengths.
3] Sheffield only played with one forward and won? impressive.
4] It amazes me how a club like Sheffield remain competitive - living on hallf our attendance and yet to me - they remian favourites when we play them as far as I'm concerned.
5] To be honest the loss may do us good as it makes the players realize they are not unbeatable. It also takes the pressure away a little of going through unbeaten. We needed a tough game after London and not having a proper pre season. Ratrher lose now than later in the season We certainly did not have a good preparation being stuck in traffic due to an accident on the motorway and missing the likes of Black, Maloney, Aizue, Greenwood does weaken us a little. Well done Sheffield and shows once again they will be a major threat to Fax, Widnes and Barrow
6] A bit disappointed with the result, but our defence is looking much better than it has done for a long time. Very solid tackling and not many breaking through our line.
Shame about the Seagulls fans and their bitter feelings. Still haven't got over Rob coming to us, still booing his every touch. He played very well again tonight and came in for some dubious rough stuff from them in every tackle.
and finally for now..
7] Good in defence, ref a disgrace, preparation a disaster, pitch too narrow and too many players missing
However apart from all that I have to say we looked totally clueless going forward. Pretty poor stuff really
. which demonstrates a very varied but generally complimentary response about the game

It's good to see us getting a bit of credit now, last year when we did them at The Shay they spat the dummy out as bad as I've ever seen.
On a personal note, a bit thank you to the whole (except one) of block six for their generous applause. I may have made history at don valley as the first match official not to be booed off.

And the narrow pitch escuse again. Well, they're going to have trouble at Dewsbury then - that's more than two metres narrower. A bloke that complains about pitch width is a bloke looking for excuses.
Incidentally, the widest pitch in our division is also the shortest ..... any guesses ?

Temecula Wine Master
{TEMECULA} Wine Master
On a recent Friday afternoon I had the pleasure to sit down with Jon McPherson, winemaker at South Coast Winery in Temecula, to talk about his vibrant career as one of Temecula's most respected winemakers. While sitting at the South Coast restaurant, Vineyard Rose, in the bar with an array of South Coast wines to taste, an intrigued visitor approached us thinking we were doing a wine tasting offered by the restaurant. He commented on how much fun we seemed to be having and asked if this was normal for the bar; after about four or five questions Jon finally answered that he was the South Coast winemaker. This simple exchange demonstrated McPherson's affability. He avoided offering his South Coast winemaker title as a status symbol to this visitor; had he not been pressed he probably would have been content to say we were wine appreciators tasting the wines. South Coast Winery is one of the largest, busiest and most recognized wineries in Temecula. Along with the winery, South Coast offers a world-class resort/spa that attracts visitors internationally. South Coast has also been awarded the distinguished "Golden Bear Winery of the Year" award for two consecutive years. When tasting a South Coast wine, the question is not, "Which wines are multiple award winning wines?" but , "Which wines aren't?"
McPherson, as the master winemaker, manages all the winery operation, including the tasting room and hospitality departments. He is originally from Lubbock, Texas, where his father grew from recreational garage winemaker to one of Texas's most respected winery owners. His winery is Llano Estacado, located in Lubbock. Jon's brother also owns a thriving winery, McPherson Cellars, in the same area and uses grapes from is still active 92-year-old father's 25 acres of Texas Vineyards; you could say wine runs in the McPherson family's veins.
Jon McPherson came to California in 1985 as the assistant winemaker at Culbertson's Winery, which later became Thornton. He chose this winery because they only made sparkling wines, and that's what McPherson wanted to focus on early in his career. He eventually moved his winemaking talents to the new-kid-on-the winery block, South Coast.
Jim Carter is the owner of South Coast , and has oversees real estate ventures across the country. But according to McPherson, Carter's passion is farming grapes. As McPherson points out, "Having a boss like Jim, with his love of the grapes, is winemaker's dream winery owner. Jim allows me to call the shots in the vineyards { with the understood caveat} as long as I don't prune the grapes to one grape per vine!"
Patrick Barlett hold his advanced wine certification from the London Wine and Sprit Education Trust and is a chef. He is also the executive director for Temecula Valley Winery Management, a winery development company helping launch start-up artisanal wineries in Southern California.

Hovde says tech company never got stimulus money
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The U.S. Senate campaign for Eric Hovde is taking exception to a published report that says a tech company backed by the Wisconsin Republican received $2.3 million in stimulus funds.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported last week that a government website that tracks stimulus spending shows ePlus as having received money from multiple stimulus grants. Hovde is a director for the computer-security firm.
Hovde's campaign says the website is wrong. Hovde says the company's customers may have received stimulus funds, but that ePlus never applied for nor received stimulus dollars.
Edward Pound is with the federal Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board. He says the recovery.gov website reflects information reported by stimulus recipients, not by the government.
EPlus spokesman Kley Parkhurst declined comment.

but I've been thinking a lot about what it will be like to have my breasts back.
Not in the sense that I'm looking forward to weaning, or even planning on when to do it, but just wondering what my breasts will be like when it finally takes place.
I've pretty much been nursing or pregnant the past 11 years, and have nursed all four of my daughters at least 1.5 years... 3 of which went past 2.5 years.
I LOVE nursing my girlies, but have noticed some changes in my breasts over the years.
Namely the fact that the left one is noticeably larger, even though I thought I was always careful to nurse evenly on both sides, as well as the fact that they're starting to resemble deflated balloons.
So, my weaning related (somewhat superficial) question is:
When the time comes to wean (DD is 26 months right now and not showing any signs of slowing down) is there anything I can do to ensure a non-lopsided non-deflated bosom like I used to have? (34D and full of fun. )
Also, are there things I can do now while I'm still nursing to help my chances of having even breasts when all is said and done?

There aren't that many 'quiet' fashion-related exhibitions in London. We're lucky that we have institutions that curate some amazing exhibitions to do with fashion but of course the media love to make a big noise about everything resulting in queues, sold out tickets and packed-out exhibitions.
However, I think I've come across the QUIETEST exhibition there is and it's very very hidden away. Well actually it's more like a walk than an exhibition. Famed fashion curator Judith Clark and psychoanalyst Adam Phillips have come together to create a series of definitions with accompanying installations entitled The Concise Dictionary of Dress.
These installations have been set up in Blythe House which was originally the Post Office Savings Bank and now houses V&A's Archive of Art and Design.
These definitions are supposed to re-describe clothing in terms of anxiety, wish and desire and so it isn't a conventional 'dictionary of dress' as you would expect and along with the installations, it really explores the psyche of how we as human beings relate to dress and all its codes of conduct.
For example, to illustrated the term 'Armoured', there is this resin sculpture sitting on top of Blythe House
A series of images and pieces illustrated the term 'Essential'… mostly depicting Grecian draped pieces and the classicism of those lines…
Then to illustrate the term "Pretentious" you get a collection of antique gowns (Chanel, Vionnet, Madame Gres…) from the early part of the 20th century and across from it is a plaster impression of the dresses…a comment on the 'hollowness' of fashion perhaps?
You're taken through a derelict Blythe House up through industrial goods lift and through staircases, eerily silent corridors and so I deem this the quietest exhibition I have ever encountered which of course gives you the opportunity to think and reflect.
Here is a video trailer of the exhibition to give you a better idea…

Alphabets and Sunsets
In John's conceptual art class, we discussed the British artist Michael Craig-Martin. In his piece "An Oak Tree" (at the Tate), he set a half-full glass of water on a glass shelf and called it an oak tree. To him, it was an oak tree—until he couldn't get through customs at the airport, so he broke down and told them it was actually a shelf and a glass.
When I was home for spring break, I saw that on my dad's filing cabinet, he had a set of magnets from an opening of the Craig-Martin show "Alphabets and Sunsets." Each magnet was a different letter of the alphabet, with a picture on it in the style of "A is for apple, B is for boy." However, I soon realized that the pictures didn't go with the letters: A had an umbrella, B a wine glass, and C a knife.

It's American Craft Beer Week, folks, which means us beer geeks have an extra excuse to enjoy wonderful, wonderful craft beer. OK, we don't really need another excuse, but hey, there it is. Anyway, to celebrate the greatest week ever known to man, a number of Columbus' best beer bars are rolling out events. Here's what's on tap for this weekend.
Barley's Ale House No. 1
467 N. High St., Short North
Barley's has already released its delicious Bicentennial Imperial IPA — coinciding with both Columbus' 200th and Barley's 20th birthdays. The two casks on tap this week are the Scottish Ale dry hopped with Simcoe and Cascade varieties and the Oaked J Scott Francis ESB dry hopped with Fuggle. Barley's will also have their weekly Firkin Friday with a (double-hopped) Rye IPA. Hopheads, activate!
1044 N. High St., Short North
With 51 beers on tap, this spot would be a perfect destination for beer drinkers anyway, but co-owner Collin Castore has been holding a few special kegs for the last couple of months to roll out this week. Each day, Bodega will have a new surprise tapping from breweries like Dogfish, Mikkeller, He'Brew ("the chosen beer") and 3 Floyds. Bodega's newly revamped menu will also feature food specials that pair perfectly with these brews.
Elevator Brewery and Draught Haus
161 N. High St., Downtown
Elevator has special events planned for both Thursday and Friday. Tonight, the brewery is teaming with Grandview Theatre, 1247 Grandview Ave., for the Elevator Beer Film Festival with beer-themed films "The Saddest Music in the World" and "Strange Brew." Fans of Isabella Rossellini and the word "hosers" must attend. Doors open at 5 p.m., and the $20 admission includes both films, a T-shirt and joyous beer activities.
Friday, from 6-8 p.m., the restaurant and bar hosts its second annual Bark & Brew Fundraiser to benefit the Downtown Dog Park. The $20 admission includes a brewery tour, food, beer and a commemorative pint glass.
World of Beer
503 S. Front St., Brewery District
This week, Alive's Best of Columbus winner for Best New Bar welcomes Bell's Brewery for a spotlight with three stouts (Cherry, Double Cream and Java), the Sparkling Ale and the Third Coast Old Ale barley wine on tap.


text: Pyramids and other constructions. LincolnGenghis posted:2/18/2013 5:22:56 AM The Giza pyramids were aligned with orion when the first construction was done. What you see of the pyramids today is a second newer construction. The only blocks that were carved were the deep internal ones made out of granite. the majority of the volume of the pyramid is made up of around 2.3 million blocks of two different types of manufactured limestone. The limestone blocks were poured/packed into place kind of like modern concrete is today (this I know for fact and have proof). They used wooden forms. And there is no mistake about the similarities between the egyptian and south american pyramids, they were both made and/or infuenced by the same people, the sumerians. The Egyptians did some work on the pyramids later on but they did not build the core. Oh yeah I know people are going to doubt that the sumerians were in both places but they were. This was do to a huge maritime culture that goes farther back then most people realize or so called experts will acknowledge. The Sumerians in their own native land built massive structures called Ziggurats which if you look at the images of them you can definately see the relationship and influence of their structures over buildings in egypt and south america. Most of their homeland constructions were of a mud brick type so evidence wise its hard to tell just how far back they go because there would not be much left of the earliest stuff. (See Ziggurat link below for pictures) There was something real special in the location of the pyramids of giza for them to be made of such long lasting materials and to have renovations and improvements made to them later on by the egyptians. In fact most of the known long lasting structures like that in the world seem to have curious earth coordinates in common. And you know Gary the sumerians should be of interest to you mathematically because at one time they had a base 6 number system. They are of interest to me because they made and loved beer. (well flat beer anyway but beer none the less) The gospel according to Lincoln Chapter 1 verse 1: "Flat beer is better than no beer." ZigguratsJaxerback posted:2/18/2013 8:12:05 AM This may be unrelated but is interesting nonetheless. http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/scotland/largest-scottish-ancient-artworks-revealed-1-2780498bobprin posted:2/18/2013 12:59:45 PM If it could be proven that pryamids were constructed on base six mathmatics that would tie everything together. I assume the word sum is derived from sumeria. Ok, stratigic placement world wide, limestone sides and gold caps. Gold is considered the best metal for electrical conductivity. Perhaps they were used as a giant pulse generator to shoot a signal into the cosmos for communication purposes. Makes sense as for a practical use.LincolnGenghis posted:2/18/2013 2:05:24 PM Well there might be something to that but I am still skeptical of the whole alien seeding theory. Thats not not say I am not open minded to it. I love reading thru differing theories. My current mindset however is that we go back much further then most contemporaries think. I believe every once in a while thru various disasters some of which may have been of our own making we get knocked back into more or less the hunter gatherer and stone age type existence having to start all over again after getting down to a level of almost near extiction.Jaxerback posted:2/18/2013 2:15:01 PM As long as we can still make beer we will be grand.gary107 posted:2/18/2013 2:39:26 PM old mason friends of the family gave me a book called "the gods of Eden." Also a collectors set of books on ancient Egyptian gods. I understand they really believe that way. the counting system is base 12 not base 6. it is possible that Earth began as a penal colony but was sold in trade for something and we are now owned as a concession where our body organs are collected and traded for payment. us old folks need not worry the organs the six digit ladies of Roswell were carrying in containers were from younger people. do we keep our young folks healthy or infect them so that their organs are not valued as trade ?gary107 posted:2/18/2013 2:47:32 PM In ancient Egypt when they started to father the farm labour in the off seasons to build the pyramids there was the problem of clean water to drink for the work crews. they invented man early form of beer that was much safer to drink than the water. the warehouses were soon infected with rats and mice, but the native cats of the desert came and eat and controlled the rats and mice thus allowing the massive labour force necessary for the building projects. Human civilization started because of beer and cats. FIV, created along with HIV [AIDS] will block that path from happening again. Think about it, we can not afford to be knocked down again.gary107 posted:2/18/2013 3:16:30 PM http://s1326.beta.photobucket.com/user/grahamby107/media/CIMG0007_zps8710a2c7.jpg.html?sort=3&o=14 A gift I gave in return to the Scottish Rite Temple in Mission Valley/San Diego. I believe it to be a work by the colonial painter Gilbert of the American Free Mason Samuel Adams, organizer of the Sons of Liberty and the Committee of Correspondence. It is the Goddess Athena forming from the mist of the letters on the table, very symbolic in many ways. They placed it in their great hall.bobprin posted:2/18/2013 3:20:59 PM Huzzah for beer and cats. I think linc is on to something concerning layers of civilizations. That would explain a lot of anomilies.Jaxerback posted:2/18/2013 3:52:59 PM The notion that homo-sapiens have been around for a lot longer than main stream academics would have you believe makes complete sense to me. Could we make another comeback?

It reminds me of the lacerta files and the talk of a certain race who was geneticly deficiant and need us for that purpouse. It wouldn't be to far fetched to think that there might be more than one race out there and they know each other. What an odd relationship they have to each other. Is it aliances or truces or both? Maybe its just easier to molest races like us who are backwater and so they tend to leave each other alone. Why start a huge war when you can havest what you need from the not so advanced races. I can tell you this for true. We have no right to bitch about it as we do the same. Although that won't stop the human race from getting all self rightous when they find out though. Double standard much. I eat meat and if I get aten by a bear, I'll fight and scream at the time but will I bitch about it in the after life not unless I just found a massive stash of gold and that will only be for another reason alltogether.gary107 posted:2/18/2013 7:16:17 PM Hear, hear!

Physically we probably don't have very many equals in the galactic neighberhood. We have survived in some of the most brutal conditions from time to time, probably almost went extinct numerous times and came back like cockroaches from the brink of oblivion. At the other end of the spectrum we have incredible art and music in addition to being a very warlike species as displayed in some of our inhabitants.

Less than 24 hours after a major homeless sweep in Kaka'ako, details are emerging about a nearby homeless shelter that will be shutting down.
The group that took the risk on high-risk clients needs to find a new place, and time is running out.
It's known as the H-5-- Evan's Angels-- bus project.
But there's a big problem.
"We are looking for a place to park our buses," said Utu Langi.
There are six of them. Donated by Roberts Hawaii and converted into shelters. There's even a place for pets.
The operation has been able to keep up to 40 people at a time off the streets. It has been a kind of "last chance" shelter.
"The majority of the folks who lived in our buses were unable to get into any other shelters at all," said Langi.
The state doesn't control the lot anymore.
"When we first came here, we were told we were only going to be six months and so fortunately we have been here for three years now, so that's a long time," Langi said.
And Langi knew his clock was ticking when the Office of Hawaiian Affairs took control last year.
But moving the buses isn't the problem.
"They all run. Slap a battery in there. Start it up. They all run," Langi said,
H-5's woes are with finances.
"We don't have any money at all. So as far as insurance, we had had to cut that off. We cannot afford it. We have no insurance right now," Langi said.
Langi says when he lost the contract to operate the Next Step Shelter to Waikiki Health Center two years ago, he had to scale down his outreach.
And then came tax troubles.
Langi said the IRS told him he'd had been filing the wrong papers--something he says is working to rectify.
"We do have what I believe is a good model here with what we have been working here for years now, so if someone could help…"
Langi says his clients have had lots of notice.
A month ago he had 25now it's down to 15--mostly men , but there is a family with 3 young children.
"We do have what I believe is a good model here ...so if someone could help"
What Langi needs is an angel.
"Hope is always there," Langi said.

When the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization launched the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988, few people anticipated just how effective
and influential its work would become.
Everyone agrees that environmental policy must be based on sound science. Prudent policy choices must
be rooted in rigorous, careful and balanced analyses of the best scientific and technical
The IPCC has shown the way, developing a process that engages hundreds of the world's leading
experts in reviewing the most up-to-date, peer-reviewed literature on the scientific and technical
aspects of climate change. The IPCC integrates its assessments into a policy-relevant format
universally accepted as a basis for decision-making by the 185 member governments of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The IPCC's three-volume Third Assessment Report was finalized in early 2001. Its message is
clear: intensive climate research and monitoring gives scientists much greater confidence in their
understanding of the causes and consequences of global warming. The Assessment presents a compelling
snapshot of what the earth will probably look like in the late 21st century, when a global
warming of 1.4 – 5.8˚C (2.5 – 10.4˚F) will influence weather patterns, water
resources, the cycling of the seasons, ecosystems, extreme climate events, and much more. Even
greater changes are expected in the more distant future.
The international community is working together to minimize these risks through the 1992 Convention
and its 1997 Kyoto Protocol. Undoubtedly the most complex and ambitious agreements on environment and
sustainable development ever adopted, the climate change treaties set out the principles,
institutions, and rules for addressing global warming. They establish a regime that is dynamic and
action-oriented. At the same time, it is flexible enough to evolve over the coming decades in
response to changes in the political landscape and in scientific understanding.
With this global process now in place, governments need to move forward quickly to design and carry
out their national climate change policies. The IPCC Assessment confirms that well-designed,
market-oriented policies can reduce emissions and the costs of adapting to the unavoidable impacts of
climate change while simultaneously generating significant economic benefits. These benefits include
more cost-effective energy systems, more rapid technological innovation, reduced expenditures on
inappropriate subsidies, and more efficient markets. Cutting emissions can also reduce damage from
local environmental problems, including the health effects of air pollution.
The IPCC and the Climate Change Convention both demonstrate that the peoples of the world can tackle
global problems together by collaborating through the United Nations system. The fact sheets in this
information kit seek to summarize in simple language the most up-to-date findings of the IPCC and the
most recent developments under the Convention and Protocol. We hope you find them useful in your own

Off-Season Boredom
The off-season is really starting to drag for me. The more bored I become, the stranger the things are that pop into my mind. I spend hours contemplating life's mysteries. See for yourself; Here is Jenn's 25 Things To Ponder:
1. Why are brown Labrador retrievers called "Chocolate Labs"? Is this like Easter bunnies? Are you going to eat them?
2. Why do commercials and other advertising media portray penguins and polar bears in the same setting? They live on totally opposite poles of the earth and in real life, would NEVER come in contact.
3. Also in real life, if penguins did encounter polar bears, the polar bears would eat them, not pass them a Coke.
4. When the Phillies signed Cole Hamels, why was there no, "Thou Shall Not Speak In Public" clause in his contract?
5. Why is every public restroom out of toilet paper? Have we not cut down thousands of acres of rainforest each year? Perhaps I should wipe with a chinchilla; they are endangered also. And soft as well…
6. Why does the phone only ring when I am in the bathroom?
7. If the plural of goose is geese, then why isn't the plural of moose, meese?
8. If I walk and chew gum at the same time, am I some kind of genius?
9. Since Josh Hamilton found God, I often wonder if he decided to add rainbows, kitties and puppies to his tattoo collection?
10. Why are farts funny?
11. If the "Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you" thing is correct, then why, after numerous relationships, am I still flat broke?
– PS: In case you were wondering, the bank is closed.
12. If you are playing charades and you have a real heart attack, how long will it take for someone to dial 911?
13. The odds of catching a baseball at a Major League Baseball game are 776 to 1. The odds that your child will be a genius are 265 to 1. Odds that you will marry a millionaire are 200 to 1. I have caught many baseballs; this is good news for my kids, but where is my millionaire???
14. Why does it only rain when you have forgotten an umbrella?
15. And snow, when you do not have a shovel?
16. Am I the only person on the planet who wants to smack Miley Cyrus?
17. Why does this photo make me laugh until I cry?
18. Why does alcohol make everything happy? Or is it just me?
19. What exactly are the "Natural Flavors" in my Snapple Peach Iced Tea? If they didn't just call it "peach," it has to make you wonder…
20. Why is there a warning on a can of Lysol that says "Don not spray in eyes"?? Duh.
21. Why do packages of peanuts say "Warning: May contain nuts"? Well, if it doesn't contain nuts, I'd like my money back.
22. How is it possible that I have 600 channels on TV and can't find anything to watch?
23. Why does my cat think that my feet, while moving, would be a suitable place for a nap? And why is it, after hundreds of times nearly killing myself, that I never see this coming? Is my cat a criminal master-mind?
24. Why do celebrities spend thousands of dollars on a single suit or dress and then talk about starving kids in Africa, while wearing the expensive outfit? Guess how many kids you could feed with 1 dress? Hmmm….
25. If you scream in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, perhaps you should have stopped to ask for directions?

This post made me laugh out loud. You should pitch "60 Minutes" to replace Andy Rooney!
Ha, ha! Thanks :O) And yaknow, I am SO much better looking than Andy Rooney. This is a no-brainer :O)
Jenn, you mentioned emailing me – never received an email. Can you email firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know what your issue is with your MT software…include your email/password when you email that account if you want me to replicate it. Thanks.
That is one of the meanest things I've heard anyone say about Josh Hamilton. He was high when he got those tats. He didn't want those tats.
Oh geez Bob…don't you know a joke when you read one? Get a sense of humor! I love Josh too…was at the HR Derby and took tons of photos of him…if we can't have a nice laugh over these things, we have more serious issues than Josh's tatoos.
There are some things you just don't question. Namely the whole farts-are-funny thing. The bottom line is they are hilarious… that's all we need to know.
I cannot stand Miley Cyrus! She's like this brat who goes around putting a bad influence on pre-teens. She is just very annoying. I do not like her at all.

Martins Ferry's RG plant remains idle
MARTINS FERRY – A rich and proud history of steelmaking may have come to an end for Martins Ferry, as the RG Steel plant sits quiet following its recent $2 million purchase by Quay Mull and Joseph N. Gompers.
"I had a lot of family members and friends work there. I hope something can be done there that will help put some people back to work," said Belmont County Auditor Andy Sutak, a Martins Ferry native.
Sutak said with the Marcellus and Utica shale natural gas industry burgeoning in Ohio and West Virginia, the land's location along the Ohio River – along with the nearby rail and highway access – should make it attractive to some type of drilling-related business.
"I would really hate to see it just torn down and gutted," he added.
A Thursday visit to the plant showed no activity at the facility. Following RG Steel's bankruptcy last year, the company liquidated the assets of the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. A deed on file in the Belmont County Recorder's Office shows that Wheeling businessmen Mull and Gompers purchased the Martins Ferry RG site for $2 million.
Both Mull and Gompers have been unavailable for comment regarding their plans for the property.
Esmark Inc. – which recently purchased the former RG Yorkville mill with plans to revitalize it as the Ohio Cold Rolling Co. – acquired all the former Wheeling-Pitt facilities in 2006 before selling them to Russian steelmaker OAO Severstal for $1.23 billion in 2008. Severstal later sold these plants to RG, which liquidated the assets last year.
A separate deed filed in Belmont County in November shows that RG sold some of its riverfront land in Yorkville and Martins Ferry to the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Co. for $750,000.
"The land is mainly closer to Yorkville. We hope to see it used for transportation," said Railway Director of Real Estate Clarence Jaeger.
According to the company's website, the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Co. "began in 1871 with the need for a rail connection between the Wheeling coal fields and Lake Erie port cities and facilities." The company later moved its main offices to Brewster, Ohio, where they remain today.
In the drilling industry, the website states, the railway has been transporting sand, cement, pipe, equipment and even natural gas liquids, primarily in Pennsylvania.
Another Belmont County deed shows a $500,000 sale of land in Martins Ferry from RG to an entity called Aldiny LLC. This company maintains a mailing address of 117 Edgington Lane in Wheeling, which is also the address of the Gompers & Associates accounting firm.
A final destiny also is yet to be determined for the large Mingo Junction plant, which Frontier Industrial purchased out of the bankruptcy for $20 million. The facility contains the electric arc furnace, which itself cost $115 million in the mid-2000s.
As the Upper Ohio Valley RG plants site idle, portions of the large mill in Sparrows Point, Md., are now about to be demolished and sold.
Though his company's website states that it specializes in "demolition" and "industrial gutting," Craig Slater, general counsel and vice president for Frontier, said his crews have removed some "stuff" from the Mingo mill, but nothing vital to the steelmaking process.
He said he hopes to enter an agreement with someone who can operate the plant.
RG sold the old Steubenville plant to a subsidiary of Herman Strauss Inc., a Wheeling-based recycling business. Strauss paid $4.3 million for about 103 acres, plus another $10.7 million for the scrap and machinery.

Skype helps reconnect anyone with distant friends, even dog friends hoping to catch up with each other.
A wire-haired fox terrier seemed to engage in a slight argument with another dog on Skype.
Gaytor, hooked on video chat, growled and shook his long furry snout while another terrier from UK did the same. As if trying to make his point, Gaytor kept tilting his boxy head and piped up each time he saw Basil howling on the video.
"When he isn't constantly growling, or being a butt head, he enjoys skyping other dogs," Gator's owner, Ali Wasel, wrote on YouTube.
Basil's owner, Simon Harris, said that Basil loves skyping with Gaytor, too.
"Thanks for featuring my Basil video, glad your dog likes to watch it. Basil would love to meet Gaytor someday. I played your movie to him this morning and he sung along to it," he said.
Gaytor's video has been viewed more than 300,000 times on YouTube.

Seasonal Napkin Rings and Holiday Placeholders
Brighten your holiday meal by adding festive touches to your table. Whether it's creative napkin rings, pinecone place markers or effortless orange garnishes (like what's used for Hot Cider with Orange Twists), original ideas like these take just minutes to complete. Best of all, each is easy and inexpensive, too.
Seasonal Things Become Napkin Rings
When decorating a holiday table, take a cue from your seasonal surroundings. Dress up place settings with items you already have on hand. For instance, we found several objects that could be used as napkin rings for a special dinner.
Some tree ornaments can be used this way. Ones that work well include colorful reindeer, rocking horses, bright wreaths, musical horns and other decorations that have open areas to pull the napkins through.
Or try other types of tree trims. A length of most any type of garland can be tied around a napkin to form an impromptu ring. We used an easy-to-shape wire garland that sparkled with gold metallic stars.
Cute cookie cutters, like the metal star-shaped ones, work well as napkin rings, too. Try a variety of shapes, such as gingerbread boys and girls, angels, stockings or most any other open cookie cutter.
Garnish Drinks with Citrus Twists
If you're looking for a warm way to greet guests on a cool evening, try Hot Cider with Orange Twists. The steaming spiced beverage looks impressive with its citrusy cinnamon stirrers.
You don't need a long list of supplies to put together these gorgeous garnishes, so assembly is a snap.
First, you'll want some cinnamon sticks. You can use the regular ones from the spice aisle of your favorite grocery store. Or, depending on the depth of your mug, you may want to buy longer ones.
You'll also need a few oranges cut into 1/4-inch slices. You'll get about four to six full slices from an orange, depending on its size.
For each garnish, make a cut from the center of an orange slice out through the peel. Holding the edge of the peel on each side of that cut, twist slice in opposite directions to form an S.
Now insert a cinnamon stick through the S in two places near the edge of the peel to hold its curved shape.
Then simply place a garnish in each mug of cider for a fancy-looking yet fuss-free touch.

It was 100 years ago that industrialist William C. Durant and Swiss-born race car driver Louis Chevrolet founded the Chevrolet car company. In the same year, 1911, the two men built Chevrolet's first automobile in a rented garage near downtown Detroit.
Since then Chevrolet has gone on to build more than 209 million vehicles and enter the motoring markets of more than 140 countries. Annual sales for Chevrolet are around the 4.25 million unit mark. It's been the expansion into global markets that has made Chevy the automotive monster it is today. Once it was mostly confined to the American continent, now it's a global brand that sells more than 60% of its total production outside the U.S.
In 2010, Chevrolet had its best year ever with 4.26 million sales – a record that's set to be broken in 2011 giving extra reason to celebrate the brand's centenary.
"Like many of the strongest global brands, Chevrolet is founded in American values that are admired around the world", said vice president for global marketing and strategy Chris Perry. Continue reading "Chevrolet marks 100th birthday with record sales year" »

Reviews of this property
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Sebas ist ein netter Gastgeber.
Das Zimmer war einfach aber für uns gemütlich.
Das Leben mitten im Dorf hat ein grossen Anteil am Wohlgefühl gehabt.
Cafe, Restaurant, Bushaltestelle direkt in wenigen Gehminuten erreichbar.
Die Aussicht vom Hof... einfach Klasse.
Reviews for this host's other properties
very accommodating perfect sympathetic administrator located in a quiet, comfortable accommodation close to the center. I can very well recommend this hotel and would book again
sehr zuvorkommener sympatischer verwalter in einer ruhigen, gemütlichen unterkunft nahe am ortskern gelegen. ich kann diese unterkunft sehr gut weiter empfehlen und würde sie wieder buchen
Very nice house, room and garden in a very nice village!
And a very cool and relaxed Sebas, who isn´t angy if you are late for two hours ;-). He cooked with us, recommended us good places to go...
We really loved to be there!
THe room and the village was very beautiful. We spend a wonderful time here!
It was nice when Sebas: the room, the garden, the hospitable reception. The kids also liked. Who needs luxury, however, should look elsewhere. A note: You should be timely make the owner an arrival. I have unfortunately failed.
Es war nett bei Sebas: das Zimmer, der Garten, die gastliche Aufnahme. Den Kindern hat es auch gefallen. Wer Luxus braucht, sollte sich allerdings woanders umsehen. Ein Hinweis: Man sollte mit dem Vermieter rechtzeitig eine Ankunftszeit ausmachen. Das habe ich leider versäumt.
It was a great holiday.
The accommodation was nice and the host was attentive and uncomplicated.
We can advise it.
Thank you very much!!
A room with a view, breakfast in the garden, a picturesque village and a kind and hospitable host.
I had a fantastic time at and with Sebas Bunyola. The room reveals a wonderful view over the village, is spacious and clean. All in all simple and straightforward. For individual travelers, away from the usual tourist areas, the perfect place.
Thanks Sebas, nos vemos :-).
Ich hatte eine fantastische Zeit bei und mit Sebas in Bunyola. Das Zimmer offenbart einen wundervollen Ausblick über das Dorf, ist geräumig und sauber. Alles in Allem einfach und unkompliziert. Für Individualreisende, abseits des üblichen Tourismus, der perfekte Ort.
Gracias Sebas, nos vemos :-).
Sebas is very friendly, we always got information when we asked. I would have wished that we would have to arrival a "briefing", we knew nothing of wireless internet and parking are not either. The parking space was always difficult and usually far away. Everything else we have then "asked" us. The view in the room is spectacular. The room with the bathroom next to it well, the bed is not in the picture. There are 2 simple beds, but ok.Worüber one has to be clear, you are a guest in a private home and the host is almost always at home, and visit with all the trimmings. Conclusion: If you do this, it is a great way to stay in Mallorca from the usual tourism. Thanks Sebas
Sebas ist sehr freundlich, wir haben immer Auskunft bekommen, wenn wir gefragt haben. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, das wir zur Ankunft eine "Einweisung" bekommen hätten, wir wußten nichts von w-lan und einen Parkplatz gibt es auch nicht. Die Parkplatzsuche war immer schwierig und meist weit weg. Alles andere haben wir uns dann "erfragt". Die Aussicht in dem Zimmer ist sensationell .Das Zimmer mit dem Bad daneben auch gut, das bett ist nicht das auf dem Bild. Es sind 2 einfache Einzelbetten, aber ok.Worüber man sich klar sein muß, man ist zu Gast in einem Privathaus und der Gastgeber ist eigentlich immer zuhause, mit Besuch und allem was dazugehört.
Fazit: Wenn man dies weiß, ist es eine tolle Art auf Mallorca ab vom üblichen Tourismus zu wohnen.
Danke Sebas
It was a very nice experience for us, off the beaten track in a typical Mallorcan town house, which is only accessible via steps to spend our vacation. The accommodation is beautifully and individually decorated, Sebas is a very nice and helpful host who always made us feel so welcome.
Es war eine sehr schöne Erfahrung für uns, abseits des Touristentrubels in einem typischen mallorquinischen Stadthaus, das nur über Stufen zu erreichen ist, unseren Urlaub zu verbringen. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und individuell eingerichtet, Sebas ist ein sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der uns immer das Gefühl gab, willkommen zu sein.

Emergency Response | News
In preparation for a major event held at its campus, the University of British Columbia Vancouver opted into a new emergency operations and incident management system. The institution chose DisasterLAN from Buffalo Computer Graphics for use by the institution's Security Operations staff. The university is home to 50,000 students, 14,000 staff and faculty members and 9,000 additional residents who also live in the university community.
Recently, the campus hosted many of the sporting events for the Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games, which drew several thousand athletes and supporters. The new system was installed and staff trained in time for that influx of visitors.
DisasterLAN provides a Web-based console for coordinating the workflow of emergency responders in an emergency situation. Integrated modules provide for watch command activities, internal communications and mass notifications, creation of incident action plans, GIS mapping and other functionality.
"We believe DisasterLAN will meet the needs of today's Vancouver campus and has the flexibility to adapt to the changing requirements of tomorrow," said Reg Fountain, manager of Emergency Management and Continuity Planning. "We have also been impressed with the support from BCG staff in tailoring this product to our requirements as well as in their support with its installation and the ongoing training of our...staff."
Colgate University is also a DLAN institutional customer.

Grand Valley films garner awards
Posted on April 29, 2013
Two films from Grand Valley State University won an Eclipse Award for production excellence, presented during the April 19 ceremony at the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
The Eclipse Award is presented by WKTV with the West Michigan Film Video Alliance to honor the best regional works in film, video, sound and television production. All entries were reviewed and winners were selected by a panel of film professionals as judges.
Both films were produced by Grand Valley's annual Summer Film Project, founded in 1995, to bring students, faculty and industry professionals together on the production of a film. "Horizontal Accidents" was directed in 2010 by Tom Seidman, a film professional from Los Angeles, and son of the late L. William Seidman, founder of Grand Valley.
"Message Sent" was directed in 2011 by John Harper Philbin, associate professor in Grand Valley's School of Communications, and a filmmaker who has worked in Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles as an editor, producer, director, writer and camera operator. The film was also recently named Best Drama Short Film at the 14th Annual Bare Bones International Film Festival 2013 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. This festival is dedicated to screening feature motion picture projects with budgets less than $1 million. For more information, visit http://www.theeclipseaward.com.
Grand Valley's 2013 Summer Film Project will be directed by award-winning filmmaker Marie Ullrich, from Chicago, an assistant professor in the School of Communications. Her short film "Faster!" has screened internationally at juried film festivals and is available on iTunes and Amazon. Ullrich's new Summer Film Project features a female protagonist. More details will be announced in June.
