Club Med La Plagne 2100 Reviews
Overall, it was excellent and met our expectations. Straightforward flight, transfer and greeted immediately at the taxi upon arrival at the hotel, and whisked away to our rooms with our luggage waiting at our room doors. The rooms were truly small and compact but well decorated and clean. Beds were twinned put together not double. We were delighted with the range of choice for breakfasts, lunches and dinners and there were plenty to delight us. We tried the speciality restaurant one evening which was table service but felt that the buffet choices was much better. Afternoon tea selection caters more for the kids, but quite frankly with 3 big meals a day, we did not need much else. The only disappointment was departure day at 4.00am. We were expecting a takeaway breakfast bag but was advised that a full breakfast would be laid out for us. This did not materialise. The hotel decor is not to my taste but well maintained. All the public area were on the ground and first floor and the ski room opens up to the pistes with drinks and grappe served every morning. The bar menu was extensive with cocktails, cognac, and ports included. The bar was not sufficiently manned and there is a wait to be served. It would be better if the bar is for adults only. The area is open-plan with stage and dance floor, and there were always kids running around. Hot drinks were available all day from the self service machines. Big minus was that Nescafe Coffee was served. I like my coffee but found the machine coffee undrinkable; NOT four star hotel standard. The tea selection was not much better either. We paid over £100 for our ski hire, which was more expensive than the ski hire shops but the choice and service was not as good. The skis given to us on the first day were not waxed and burred. It is obvious the skis returned at the end of each week were simply put back on the racks. As the conditions were icy, we struggled the first day and had to take our skis back to be serviced. The ski school has an office in Club Med and we only need to meet outside the hotel. The all day ski lessons were ski guiding/ lessons and were quite relaxed as we preferred. More instructions would be offered if requested for sure. The lessons were for 5 days and we enjoyed a free day on the last day. We went to Les Arcs one day with the instructor but that was not very successful as strong winds closed the glacier, unfortunately. Customer service was top class and the reception was excellent always. There were some evening show entertainment but abit "hit and miss". These were performed by the hotel staff. Kids were particularly well catered for. Surprising there wasn't a swimming pool in such a big hotel. La Plange Ski Area: We were ski guided so we only needed to follow. Due to the poor snow most of the black runs and half the red runs were closed. However we still have had a very good week and skied in different areas each day and enjoyed some good long runs. We did not ski much below 1800m so on a good snow week there will be even more to explore. It took slightly over an hour to get to the top of the glacier from La Plagne 2100. The cable car was old and slow. We did not stay here for long this week as there were limited ski-ing. The hearts of the area are Plagne Bellecote and Plagne Centre, making it very easy to get around and get home. This is a ski area with alot of good ski-ing to be experienced. Les Arcs is much smaller but we enjoyed good snow condition when we were there. It took an hour to get across but I did not time how long it took to get to the other end of Les Arc. Unfortunately we did not get to ski the famous Aguille Rouge as the glacier was closed due to strong winds. It is always hard to get the best of a neighbouring area as it takes time to get there and you get to set for home soon after lunch.

We went to La Plagne during the first week of April 2013 when there was tonnes of snow despite the time of year. The Club Med hotel (as the rest of the resort) is no beauty to look out. But it is on the piste - so a good ski in/ski out location (albeit at the end of La Plagne, which is rather a linear resort). The hotel is perfectly smart enough inside with the bedrooms/bathrooms being smarter than the common areas. Cleanliness is excellent. The real 'plus' are the staff and service. The former being very friendly; the latter being excellent. The food is consistently good, the inclusive wine decent enough, and the bar well stocked. For those with children, there is plenty to entertain them. The kids club runs from 8.30am until 5pm, and the Club Med staff organise putting on ski boots, getting them to/from lessons, etc - which makes it a lot easier in the mornings. If you are a fan of 'theatre', the staff put on a show every night. This takes place in the main bar area, so it's a little harder to find peace and quiet post dinner if that's your preference. Altogether, a very good holiday. I would go back.

James Person
"If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me."
James Person, 26, loving husband of Maria Person, said goodbye to his family and friends on July 25, 2013. A genuine, honest and respectful man, James had an enduring and powerful love for both his family and friends. Above all, James cherished his wife Maria, who was his heart, soul and pillar of strength.
You could often find James riding around Tupper Lake in his big red truck with his buddy Gunner sitting by his side, listening to AC/DC or Skynyrd. A true Adirondack renegade, James loved to hunt (even if it was out of season) and fish. Deer were never safe if James was out and about with his rifle. A love of sports was something James shared with his Pops, who is now right by his side. His love for his hometown of Tupper Lake was as strong as its love for him.
James was both respectful and helpful to anyone he encountered. With a smile that was truly contagious and a sense of humor to match, James brought an eruption of laughter to any room, no matter the situation. For his best friends, he was also the one who relentlessly zoo'd everyone. (You all know who you are.) With those friends he shared a love and a passion for carpentry and hard work. James was always so grateful to be able to have a job he loved and to work with his best friends each and every day. He enjoyed drinking Budweiser and going to camp with the boys.
James leaves his memories behind for his friends and family: wife Maria, mother Ellen, fathers Peter and Dick, sisters Lindsey, Tiffany and Alexis, brother Tyler, nieces Madison and Emma, nephews Lucas and Wyatt, grandmother Jackie, aunt Vivian, cousins Brandon and Nicholas, mother in-law Tammy, father in-law Elias, brothers-in-law Matt, Dan and Nicholas, and his little buddy LeLe B.
Friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 28 at the Stuart-Fortune-Keough Funeral Home in Tupper Lake. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 2 p.m. Monday at St. Alphonsus Church in Tupper Lake. Friends wishing to make memorial contributions are asked to consider the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge, 237 East Ave., Burlington, VT, or the North Country Cancer Fund, P.O. Box 104, Cadyville, NY 12918. Online condolences may be made at www.stuartfortunekeoughfuneralhome.com.

Questioning the Science of Happiness (Infographic)
Happiness. A word that gets bandied about quite a bit lately, and for good reason. As the fields of neuroscience, biology, psychology, and so many others reveal the science behind our brains, we discover more about ourselves. Our moods, our emotions, our behaviors are driven by a mix of environmental factors and genetic predispositions.
The infographic above may not capture the details of the science, but it jogs a host of questions and insights. A few thoughts to chew on:

The theme may sound boring and not-so-exciting for many. But for me it was challenging. I already have a yummy selection of dosas and adai [you can see them at the end of this post] and I was prepared to dish out seven other varieties.Mom was equally eager to know what I was planning and we set out to chart the 7 types of dosas.So be sure to drop in everyday and savor them.
Today is a recipe for an instant dosa. I love instant dosas as they need no fermentation and can be prepared at the drop of a hat! I have already blogged about a Multi flour dosa but this is another version that uses the left over dosa batter. Along with it are other grains that give it a nice taste and increase the nutritional value of the dish.
I used:
Whole wheat flour - 1/4 cup
Left over dosa batter - 1 cup
Buckwheat flour-1/4 cup
Powdered oats - 1/4
Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
- Take all the ingredients in a bowl and add water little by little to get a lump free batter of pouring consistency.
- Heat a griddle and pour a ladle of batter in the center and spread it to a circle.Drizzle oil around the edges and cook till the edges leave the griddle.
- Flip it over and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Repeat for the remaining batter.
- Serve hot with a chutney / sambar.
- You can also add barley flour, ragi flour etc.
- Roasted and powdered flax seeds[1 tablespoon] can be added.
- Adding sesame seeds-[1 teaspoon] will give a nice flavor to the dosa.
- The dosa batter contains salt so check before adding extra.
Here are some dosa varieties that you might like to try....
Sprouted Moong dosai
Chettinad Dosai
Soya bean Dosa
Galettes De Sarrasin French Buckwheat crepes
Instant Kambu-Oats Dosai

SCC to Celebrate Constitution Day September 17
Constitution Day, also known as Citizenship Day, will be celebrated at Somerset Community College at both the Somerset and Laurel Campuses on September 17.
On September 17, 1787, the US Constitution was signed in Philadelphia, PA. The Constitution is the highest law in the US. It is the framework for our government, outlining the powers and duties of the legislative, executive and judicial branches.
Somerset Campus
To celebrate the signing of the US Constitution, Somerset Community College will be hosting a panel discussion that explores the controversy and debate surrounding the document.
The panel discussion will be held on Monday, September 17 from 3 to 4 p.m. in the SCC Harold Rogers Student Commons, Citizens National Bank Community Room, 808 Monticello Street, Somerset. The event is free and open to the public.
The panel discussion, entitled "Federalist vs. Antifederalist Constitutional Debate" will explore some of the earliest conflicts between the Federalists and Antifederalists concerning ratification, federalism and the need for a Bill of Rights.
Panelists include Kentucky Supreme Court Justice Daniel Venters, SCC Associate Professor of History Barbara Stringer, SCC Professor of History Dana Muse, and SCC Instructor of History Michael Goleman. Moderator for the event will be SCC Instructor of Political Science James Taylor.
Venters represents Kentucky's 3rd Supreme Court District, which includes Pulaski, Laurel, Casey, Clinton, Mcreary and Russell counties, as well as 21 other counties across Southern and South Central Kentucky.
Laurel Campus
To celebrate Constitution Day, Somerset Community College Laurel Campus will be showing a video titled The Supreme Court: One Nation Under Law on September 17 at 6 p.m. in the Health Sciences Building (Building #3), Room 113, 100 University Dr., London, Kentucky 40741.
The video examines the creation of the Supreme Court through the brink of the Civil War, paying particular attention to the fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court - John Marshall - and to his successor, Roger Taney.
Following the video, a discussion on the Supreme Court will be led by SCC history instructors Melinda Allen and Jeff McFadden, as well as other professors from Somerset Community College. The event is free and open to the public.

Topic: act_as_ferret Plugin
Hi all
I was wondering if we could have a conditional search using the act_as_ferret plugin
The case that I am looking forward to is an admin can search the user under him by using the first, last or the company name. The catch is that he should only search for the user under him and not for the user that are under any other admin.
The user table has an admin_id field that matches it with an admin.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_ferret :fields => [:first_name, :last_name, :company]
Now how can I modify the code below
@results = User.find_by_contents("Gregg")
To include a condition that would check for the admin_id..
Some thing in the lines of
@results = User.find_by_contents("Gregg",:conditions => ['admin_id = ?', params[:admin_id]])
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Skip to comments.NYPD cop barred from leaving India after accidentally bringing three bullets into country: officials
Posted on 04/14/2014 7:03:46 AM PDT by marktwain
An NYPD cop is stuck in India after being arrested for accidentally bringing three bullets into the country, officials said Friday.
Officer Manny Encarnacion was taken into custody on March 10 after security at New Delhis Indira Gandhi International Airport found the bullets in his checked baggage, police sources said.
Im troubled by it, Mayor de Blasio said Friday of the arrest. We want to make sure we're providing support for him and make sure hes not being treated unfairly.
In December, the controversial arrest and strip search of New Delhis then-deputy consul-general Devyani Khobragade in Manhattan for allegedly paying her nanny as little as $3 an hour caused an international firestorm.
The incident fueled tensions during Encarnacions arrest.
The police official who questioned [Encarnacion] said, Oh New York City police. Youre the guys who like to strip-search our diplomats, said a source familiar with the incident.
Rep. Peter King accused India of seeking payback by arresting the cop.
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
How lenient are the police when someone accidently brings a concealed weapon into NYC?
KARMA! We're supposed to feel sorry for this JBT when he doubtless has zero tolerance form this same sort of action from the peasants?
Exactly. I would say India is a hell of a lot more lenient than the fascist constitution shredding city of New york. In NYC I believe it's a mandatory 5 years in jail now. Only politicians and big Dem donors are allowed protection by guns.
He (DiBlasio) ought to be troubled by his law-breaking, terrorist police. I hope he sends gratitude to the authorities in India.
let him rot there for a while
he'll have time to think about hassling americans over minor shit
This unionized thug cop will get more support form the state department than any American citizen in Benghazi did.
Seriously does anyone feel anything but satisfaction that a NY cop got caught in the same sort of thing that is unconstitutionally enforced in NYC by NY cops?
This guy is too stupid to be trusted with a weapon. If he did not know he had the three rounds, how can we trust him to be smart enough to know when to use those rounds and when not to use them?
This guy was asking for trouble, but he shouldn't be the only one in trouble.
So how're you liking those "No Tolerance" laws now, Mister Mayor?
Oh man! I don't believe in Karma...but if I did, this would be the perfect instance of Karma.
NYPD jackin people up for ammo and firearms all these years, now one of their own gets jacked for the same thing they'd been jackin. How sweet.
MILLER: Exclusive Shock verdict Mark Witaschek guilty of possessing muzzleloader bullets
Three bullets, huh? He must be Barney Fife first class.
How is that 'zero tolerance' working out for you, officer?
Really? Ritual slaughter? That's your thing?
I get and agree that what goes around, comes around and that he shouldn't expect any more leniency than a visitor to NYC would get under the same circumstances. But statements like that make us all sound nuts.
As others have already said: no sympathy from me. I have no doubt whatsoever that this guy, like the vast majority of New York City police officers, would show no mercy to anyone who accidentally broke any of that city's draconian gun laws.
Ok. I will be a nut then.
Damn the tyrants.
I'm an nut also.
No sympathy from me.
May your eyes be opened.
Plus they body cavity searched the Indian female diplomat. I really don't care what India chooses to do with this representative of that city.
Let this be a 'learning experience' for this officer. Let him tell all his cop friends about how it feels to be on the wrong end of a stupid gun law.
So,this is"PayBack"?
An"accomodation"at "The Tombs"?
Or even spent brass into D.C.
By the way, I recently traveled by air utilizing my range bag as my carry-on bag. (You can be sure I inspected it for contraband beforehand.) As I was waiting for my flight, TSA came through with a bomb-sniffing dog, which showed absolutely no interest in my bag, which must have been covered in GSR.
They should have arrested him for being named "Manny".
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with most on here. While I agree that NYC has some stupid gun control laws that are too strenuously enforced, two wrongs don't make a right. We should be opposed to gun control anywhere.
Further, while there most certainly are power-hungry idiotic police on most police forces, we know nothing about this particular police officer. Perhaps he disagrees with the NYC gun bans. Why should he be punished for enforcing a policy when he has no authority to refuse to enforce it? His job is to enforce the laws as written, not to make judgments as to whether or not those laws are good policy (Obama, PLEASE read that last sentence!!! It applies equally to you as well.)
I'd say, "serves him right," but there are still many old-school heroes in the NYPD, and who knows if this is one of those, or one of Bloomberg's jack-booted thug bureaucrats.
" His job is to enforce the laws as written, not to make judgments as to whether or not those laws are good policy"
He took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. He has an obligation not to enforce unconstitutional laws.
If he cannot make a determination on what is constitutional and what is not, his oath means nothing. Somethings are obvious to anyone of ordinary intelligence.
Wrong. He can simply quit if he doesn't belive in what he's doing. "I was just following orders." didn't work for a defense in wartime when the one not following orders could be shot. It certainly doesn't work for police officers who at most would suffer a job reprimand for not enforcing the obviously unconstitutional laws.
we know nothing about this particular police officer. Perhaps he disagrees with the NYC gun bans.
We know that he is part of the organization that enforces NYC's laws. We know that he wasn't drafted, but sought the position, an in fact had to be competitive to get in. If he didn't agree with what he's doing why is he doing that job? SO ... Screw him. At least the Indians didn't haul his butt off to jail.
He should be glad he didn't have any fingerguns or assault pop-tarts.
We should be opposed to gun control anywhere.....No,no. Every man has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of property. WE, by virtue of our almost non-existant Constitution have a right to be armed as citizens of good standing. The other countries may have any laws they damn well choose. No ammo? OK if that is what they say. No guns? OK if that is what they say. NO COUNTRY has the right to say you may be armed, packing and in possession if they didn't specifically say so by law or Constitution.
~Im sorry, but I have to disagree with most on here. While I agree that NYC has some stupid gun control laws that are too strenuously enforced, two wrongs dont make a right. We should be opposed to gun control anywhere.~
I guess 'hypocrisy' is yet a word to learn for you.
Lol really???? what do they think people can achieve with those??? spit them at people to kill them???? some laws are so weird...
Ohhh boy.. and Indians are big believers in karma....

Haute Cuisine: Maple Farms Blueberry Duck
Every ingredient in this dish–duck, blueberries and Indian wild rice–comes from local sources, said Kristen Wasyliszyn, owner and chef at Atiki's Flight Catering. Wasyliszyn lightly rubs the duck with hazelnut oil for a subtle, nutty flavor and broasts it in high heat to render the outside crisp while the inside remains tender and moist. The blueberries are reduced slowly and the chef adds drippings from the broasting pan, along with a touch of cognac.
The Indian wild rice is indigenous to the area and in great demand elsewhere. Wasyliszyn boils it until it's tender, then sautées it in her grandmother's great iron skillet, along with with salt, pepper, sage, finely chopped carrots and whole cranberries. Then she adds toasted almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts to bring out the flavor. Atiki's serves the dish with the blueberry reduction sauce on the side.
"In everything we do, we try to use local ingredients and only the freshest and best, including herbs and vegetables from our own urban garden," said Wasyliszyn, who learned her art "cooking my way around the world," including a stint as chief cook aboard an Alaskan crabbing vessel.

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
UPDATE TO Mrs. Flinger October 16, 2015
Because the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, after this delcaration, my blog threw up all over my last upgrade.
So I'm starting over using Craft. Turning 40 and kid entering Jr High next year, sometimes it's just time for a change. These archives will still exist in the way the last child goes off to college and their room is the same for 20 years, but it's just time to move forward.
Win an ExpressionEngine Freelancer License! Dec 16, 2010
I get asked to do a lot of giveaways. Why don't I? A lot of the time it's crap. People, I have no shortage of crap. If you live anything like I do, I'm thinking you don't either.
So this particular giveaway is hand picked by me, from my heart, to you.
Yesterday I had the joy of launching an exciting new venture at work. With an amazing designer working after hours in Ireland while I tossed in code, we pulled together a freaking BEAUTIFUL page (if I say so myself) to promote our participation in the Fusion Ads Bundle.
(Seriously, I said, "WE NEED A COUNTER! ..... AND SNOW!" and then John Henry is all "KAPLOW WITH AWESOME" and behold! THE AWESOME.)
Okok enough with the blahblahblah, what is ExpressoinEngine and why do I want to win it?
EE, as the cool kids call it, is a Publishing Engine. (Think awesome content management for large projects ... or even small ones like this here blog which has been on EE for six years.)
Like WordPress without the limitations.
Like Drupal but it works.
Like Superman but without Kryptonite.
Like Batman but with a less gay side-kick. (Not that there's anything wrong with being a gay super hero, just saying.)
Like Wonder Woman but without the wedgie.
What? So I'm a fan.
Anywho, all you have to do to win a Freelancer license is tell me "If I was a superhero, my power would be…" Also maybe throw in what your development/design experience is. "I can change the background of my MySpace page!" isn't going to work so much.
And hey! Even if you don't get, want, need, or care about EE, why not tell me your super power ANYWAY because it's the holidays and dagnabbit, I could use a little super hero love.
If Dr. Seuss wrote about real life instead of Whoville… Dec 13, 2010
Right before Thanksgiving, a feast of turkey and more
Our daughter danced in socked feet, slipped to the hardwood floor
Busting open up her chin, seven stitches she bravely took
After all the kids were settled, we promptly went to Redhook
Another day of working from home, a fire I could not attain
Smoke suddenly filled the house, we waited in the rain
Two fire trucks and four firemen appeared in gear that day
The smoking log they finally found, made it look foul-play
The next busy thursday, busier than the usual Flings'
A call prevented my Canadian trip, someone took our things
My wedding ring, baby photos, the iPad I had won
They're out there with the Wii, in some big stack of fun
Three weekend days to recover, not nearly enough
Wondering what is wrong with people, an attack we rebuff
When suddenly the water heater, not having been attended to
Decides it's time to mix things up! Fuck Chrismtmas! Such hullabaloo!
A deductible, a water heater, four new locks and a door
Security system installation and a few items more
Ensure this christmas will be a small one, no large packages or bows
And If the condo won't sell, add to the list WE FORCLOSE
I wouldn't mind if Santa was more than an artful farse
Maybe bring my ring back? Some money? Save our arse?
In the spirit of the season, I'm thankful we're all ok
But comon now, let's be honest, life is not a Cabaret
Such a year it been, two thousand and ten
I don't mind so much that you're done
All I can do, is watch for the other shoe
and hope it won't drop in twenty - one-one
On Parenting Very Young Children Dec 08, 2010
We were at the dinner table the other night, when the conversation turned surreal:
"No, look, Elmo and Zoey would never get along as a married couple. Zoey is way out of Elmo's league."
"You think? I dunno, Elmo is pretty famous. Maybe she'd marry him for the money."
"Do you think people without kids even know who Elmo and Zoey are? And why do we know this shit so well?"
"You think if you asked someone without kids which Wiggle they thought was the hottest, they'd think we were on something?"
"We should be on something. Clearly it's the blue one."
"Oh, yea, I can see that. The women all want the blue wiggle. But I'm pretty sure the red one is gay."
"I'm really disappointed we know this."
"You know what sucks more? If you say 'Fruit Salad' I say 'Yummy Yummy.'"
"Lets go watch something blow up. I need to be a man."
On Loneliness Dec 02, 2010
#Life#The Flinger Family#Those Little People
My daughter came home with her usual bouncy, free spirited, attitude. She usually rolls through the door like an electrically charged ball, so when she flopped through the door with the daily spastic energy I'm used to, I didn't think to ask if anything could be wrong.
It's been a few weeks of this now, assuming things are going well, listening to her stories of school, until last week the little girl that usually sits by her on the bus chose to sit six seats back from my daughter. I asked her about it later that day, "Why didn't Liv sit with you?" "Oh, she and Rose don't like me anymore. I don't know why. They just don't talk to me now."
Apparently this had been going on for a little while.
I asked her more about what was going on with the girls at school. "They have a club that I'm not allowed to be in anymore. So I started my own club and I'm the only one in it. Well, me and my fairies."
I think my heart busted in twelve pieces.
"Who plays with you at recess? Didn't you usually play with Ave and James?" "No, nobody plays with me at recess now. Nobody. I just play alone."
She stated this with such a matter-of-fact tone that I didn't want to make it a big deal but, y'all, remember elementary school? Remember how the person that shows up in first grade could very well be the person you are labelled as for many many many years? The bed-wetter? The girl-who-cried-all-the-time? The boy-who-took-his-pudding-and-threw-it-on-a-teacher? I mean, those labels follow you through high school.
No, seriously. Kids are mean.
Since my daughter is new to this school this year, I wanted to give her the chance to make friends in her grade. "Let's have a tea party," I suggested. "Invite three of your friends from school that you want and we'll have a tea party for them. You can use your nice tea party set from Grandma and Grandpa."
She loved the idea.
The next night she worked on invitations for three of her friends. She sat and drew while I lay on her bad talking to her about this or that. She spent an hour making the invitations exactly right. I confess, I was impressed a bit myself.
Two of the three girls made it to our house the following day. There was mass consumption of sparking apple cider, homemade oatmeal/cranberry cookies (gluten free, of course) and many hours of pretend cat noises from upstairs.
After their tea party, a little girl asked if she could do her homework. "Of course!" I taught the girls how to have a study group. THey helped each other with their math and discussed each answer, checking their work together. Then it was time to go.
One of the mothers became an instant friend. We chatted, our daughters so alike, and decided to hang out some more. I've already met her at the Y for a workout and planned another playdate for our girls soon.
The best possible thing I can do for my daughter is give her the chance to find her own people. I've been lucky over the years to find a tribe here. I have people I love to hang out with, people with children like mine, people who make me laugh and make me feel funny.
She might not know it yet, but she's going to need people as she goes through her schooling. People, community, friends; they make your life rich and give you the chance to take yourself less seriously. And, honestly, they're way better than fairies. They're real.
So.. the fire department just left.. Nov 30, 2010
Look, before I say anything, let me just tell you that I'm a pretty safe person. Aside from sky diving and climbing mountains here or there or biking down ski paths, I'm pretty safe, really. I always get tied in when I rock climb.
So it's no surprise that when I walk in after grabbing my daughter from the bus and the living room is suddenly filled with smoke when for the last four hours it was not, I freaked my shit out and called 911.
And hey! Firemen!
They took my info: I was home all day (working). I tried to start a fire at 9AM but I suck at it so I put it out. At 3PM I took a shower (let's discuss how I didn't have a chance to shower until now. No? Now's not the time?) and walked out of the house to get my daughter. After SIX HOURS of not having smoke in the house, or a fire, the room filled with smoke caused me some… alarm.
Five young men suited up for fire came in to my house, looked around assessed the outside. There was discussion. "You know HOW to use the fireplace, right?" YES. JESUS. .. SORTA. The Flue was open, right? YES JESUS.. I THINK. "You know how to correctly put out a fire, right?" YES.. JESUS.. WITH SAND.
That last one is just for Smokey the Bear.
At any rate, after some discussion about the chimney, which possibly was on fire, no, maybe not, well, it could be a chimney fire… oh wait WHAT IS THIS?
Why, it's a PRESTO log that suddenly began smoldering again.
As if it is risen from the dead, the presto log came alive, during those five minutes I walked to the bus stop, and filled my house with smoke.
I think the youngest fireman laughed when they carried the log out to the back and "put out the fire".
No, I'm sure he did.
Either way, I'll be going to purchase some new smoke alarms since not ONE of them went off. I'll also be getting a chimney sweep and an escape later for upstairs.
Because Internet? Repeat it with me: BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
Right? Right.
God I feel like a dipshit right now.
**I don't know what's up with my comments. Apparently today is broken. But thank you for letting me know I'm not a "DIPSHIP" and that I'm just a very safe, very careful, very responsible person with a plan.
And I still feel pretty stupid. But at least I confessed it to the Internet.
Class Selector by Class Selector Nov 29, 2010
I'm nearing the end of a freelance project. It's been an exciting process as my skills develop and I build better and more robust, well planned code. Each site is a little better than the last. But each project comes with a theme song and I hear this one building in my mind as I near the climatic finish.
Bird by Bird, I remind myself. Just take it Bird by Bird.
I recite the title from one of my all time favorite writing books, "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lammot. The story starts with her brother sitting at the table facing a deadline on a paper about birds. Her dad looks at his overwhelmed son and advices, "Just take it bird by bird, buddy. Bird by bird."
I sit and look at the few bits that are left. Why each project extends beyond my expected finish, how each detail can create a pixel off here or a query fail there is something I should learn to anticipate. And yet, still, I sit here looking at nearly great code sighing heavily as I realize there is that ONE MORE LIST to style, ONE MORE SPAN to fix, ONE LAST SELECTOR to place.
Bird by Bird, I tell myself. Just take it Bird by Bird.
Micro-Coding. Near the end, it's all I can focus on. It's in the details that our clients rejoice.
Bird by Bird.
Snow and Stitches: A Flinger Holiday Story Nov 29, 2010
Wow, y'all. Was that a week or what?
The week started out as usual. Monday morning came with the furry of gathering children to breakfast, rushing them to dress and hurrying out the door. The snow started just hours later and by noon, [all of Seattle] I was in a mass panic to get to Sea-Tac in a [blizzard] light snow storm.
With my parents secured, already bragging of 80 degree weather the day before in Houston, we managed to safely (SOMEHOW) get back north. Let me tell you, it was life-threatening snow flurries! Or very small flakes! Either way, I managed to navigate the treacherous freeways. (No, seriously, just watch the news if you don't believe me. What? The news exaggerates more than a sixth grader talking about the size of his penis? Hu.)
My daughter managed to trump the snow in her pursuit to be more like her mother. While dancing in the living room, as she does, her socked feet slipped out from under her and she crashed, chin first, on the hardwood floor. Blood, tears, and screaming soon followed. Oma, having gone through this three times with her own young daughter, a very young me, quickly assessed that stitches would be necessary. Mr. Flinger and I took our sobbing six year old to the ER where we thanked netflix mobile for hosting Astro Boy, which kept her calm and quiet before the doctor could make it around. "Seven stitches!" he declared. And so began the fixing, cleaning, stitching up of my young daughter. She bravely sat, big blue eyes wide, and held our hands. I remembered being in her position, at six, looking up at the bright light above me, the doctor working, and the kind nurse telling me I could squeeze her hand as hard as I wanted to. We will have matching scars now, my daughter and I. (And apparently most of facebook, according to your chin-scar-stories. Thanks for taking that uniqueness away from me. I thought I was the only one with stitches on my chin. But what's that? You only did it once? Oh, I did it THREE TIMES. That's right. I win teh ugly chin! Take that, facebook.)
Aside from that, the family arrived, the food was prepared, the snow was thrown, the wii was used, the booze was drank. The turkey may have been dry and the green beans a bit stringy, but the cranberries were delicious and the yams were mashed by my cousin and aunt. The women gathered in the kitchen while the men talked history. The children played and spilled things and another year of memories began in our new house.
And now, let the holiday season begin.
All the things I would do differently Nov 18, 2010
Nobody wants to hear you wax morose about the things in your life you'd change. It's not a very good blog post. It's a much better bartender story. Bartenders are trained in that sort of thing: Indecision, Regret, Wondering.
The Internet as a whole, not so much.
But, oh hell, you're getting it anyway.
I'm so busy being a "jack of all trades" that I haven't narrowed down my one passion. I'm so.. passionate… that I haven't figured out where to concentrate that passion on.
I'm actually, literally, A-D-D with my passion.
This is ultimately what's wrong with telling our children they can have the world. THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER! Which, side-note, gross, right? Why not my globe or my fortress or my bitch? I digress.
We tell our children they can be anything! ANYTHING! OMG YOU CAN GO TO THE MOON.
But look, most children won't make it to the moon so that's a little bit of false advertising, no? YOU CAN BE PRESIDENT. Well, comon, maybe? But most likely you'll end up a slightly over-weight middle manager at a firm who could use several more employees and a little more vacation time and a mortgage that swallows you whole.
The pessimism, it is dripping off of me.
I blame the weather.
In most respects I am an optimistic person, always thinking I can do it all! I can be great at all things! I WIN! THE ENTIRE WORLD! IT IS MINE! [evil laugh as I claim my empire] And in other respects I realize there's no way to live up to my own expectations. It's learning how to balance my own wants and needs with reality and that is crushing. How do we tell our children life is not a fairy tale without squishing their dream of greatness?
And how do we prevent them wondering what the hell happened in their mid thirties?
Insight? I need it.
I'm rubber, you're glue Nov 16, 2010
I never had headgear. I never had braces. I never had extreme acne. No, my Jr. High experience was flanked with sports and friends and the usual self consciousness. High school was a stable place with a boyfriend and good grades and more sports.
*Me in 1986. I got medals for showing up. BOOYAH.
God, I knew this would come back to bite me. I just didn't know I'd be thirty-five.
Call me brace face, four eyes, Darth Vader. (I linked to that just in case you didn't know who Darth Vader was. Then I realized fuck you, you know? If you don't know who Darth Vader is, google it. Also, seriously? Where were you in 1979? Oh, not born yet? LIKELY EXCUSE.)
And you will because now? Now I get to sleep with fighter-pilot like gear on.
Oh sweet sweet Maverick-esque gear.
On the plus side, I'm having what the sleep study shows as "Rem Rebound." Apparently my body is so excited to get to sleep that my dreams are vivid and constant. My body is plunging itself in to REM like it's the missing opiate.
When I dream that Miranda Bailey is working at a coffee shop handing out pot while a dude in a thong rides roller blades, it's proof that I'm really, truly, seriously on something. And it's called Oxygen. Seriously.
So laugh all you want. Name call if you will. But dayam, people, I feel awake for the first time since 1991. Some of you weren't even born then. But don't tell me that.
Because I swear to you, this is a disease, man Nov 15, 2010
I've had a package, two actually, sitting in my living room for SIX MONTHS that I need to mail. It contains time sensitive materials. They are full of clothes for my sister's daughter, I think you call that my niece, and my good friend's daughter.
It's literally been six months and I doubt they will fit their children anymore.
I've had a check sitting in my purse for three weeks. It's not that we don't need the money, ohgoodlord trust me, it's that I can't seem to actually DEPOSIT the check. And I've walked by the ATM. Twice.
I really don't know what this is about but I actually fail to be a grown up sometimes, but I've somehow managed to clean the dishes every night and catch up on Grey's anatomy. I must be doing something right.

IAJE Day 1 - Heritage for Tomorrow
January 9, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: aaron goldberg, bob brookmeyer, clifford brown, conservatoire national superieur, conservatoire national superieur de musique, erik satie, french composer, harland, IAJE 2008, ingrid jensen, jerome kern, lionel loueke, new york voices, paquito d rivera, paris conservatory, pianist erik, reuben rogers, special session, stan getz, three songs, young musicians
Heritage for Tomorrow is a quartet from the Paris Conservatory (or, officially, the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris...ahh, the French...). They are led by the bassist Riccardo del Fra.
The quartet performed three songs during the IAJE Special Session earlier today. I had not heard of the three young musicians who joined del Fra onstage, but I was impressed.
Here's the first song they played together.
Heritage for Tomorrow - Song One
They also played a Bob Brookmeyer composition, a nod to the French composer and pianist, Erik Satie.
Heritage for Tomorrow - Erik Satie
Finally, the quartet performed a thoroughly modern reading of "I'm Old Fashioned." I'm not sure Jerome Kern would recognize it. I barely could.
Heritage for Tomorrow - I'm Old Fashioned
That's it for today's early events. Tonight, I'm checking out shows from the Aaron Goldberg Trio with Reuben Rogers and Eric Harland, the Clifford Brown/Stan Getz All-Stars, New York Voices with Paquito D'Rivera, Lionel Loueke, and Ingrid Jensen's band, Nordic Connect. Come back soon for that. - Josh

Nylon Brights set feature 21 fluorescent and neon colors in nylon textile.
Of these 21 super bright colors, 14 contain flavine or rhodamine acid dyestuff; this qualifies them as "true" fluorescents in that they absorb invisible ultraviolet light and emit it as visible light, increasing the color's perceived brightness. However, colors containing fluorescent dyes are, by nature, less resistant to the degrading effects of light and water. There are treatments that can be added to increase color fastness and durability. To learn more about managing fluorescent colors, visit www.pantone.com/nylonbrights/colorfastness
Visit MatchPantoneColors.com for starting dyestuff formulations and in-plant local technical support.
Every PANTONE nylon brights dye lot is evaluated against a master digital standard and must pass both digital and visual evaluation. All colors are dyed in Nylon 6.6, a much improved fiber for light fastness and wash fastness over Nylon 6. Click here to download fastness standards data and ISO specifications, as well as dyer's notes and suggested markets for using PANTONE nylon brights.

The Amazon rainforest may seem like an odd place for a five-star vacation, but luxury travelers can now access Amazonia's wild and biodiverse expanses in ultra comfort thanks to Aqua Expeditions. Each week, sumptuous sister ships Aqua Amazon and Aria Amazon (pictured below) transport 24 and 32 inquisitive adventurers, respectively, along the waterways of the Peruvian Amazon on three-, four- and seven-day sojourns.
As with the world's most exclusive small cruises, these three-story vessels offer top-of-the-line creature comforts, immaculate accommodations, stellar service and the cuisine of a celebrity chef (Peru's Pedro Miguel Schiaffino). And similar to the concept of a top-notch African safari, twice-daily excursions focus on priceless, interactive wildlife and community experiences.
Onboard, glass and steel exteriors mix with hard woods to create an eye-catching vessel as envisioned by Peruvian architect Jordi Puig. Each cabin flaunts a floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass wall offering a front-row seat to real-life Discovery Channel scenes (in the comfort of high thread counts and heavenly beds, of course). The communal rooftop level with a library lounge, a stylish bar and a sundeck (as well as a plunge pool on the Aria), surfaces as the social hub, where fellow jet-setters gather for lectures, quiet reads, libations or conversation, depending on the time of day.
Shortly after setting sail from the jungle city of Iquitos or Nauta, the sights and sounds of the Amazon ambush the senses, fostering a palpable excitement that lasts throughout the peregrination. Sloths and squirrel monkeys ham it up for the camera atop Cecropia trees, scarlet macaws light up the sky and sacred pink river dolphins splash around the tannin-rich waters. Exploration via small skiffs permits intimate interaction with the rainforests' more elusive creatures. The ships' expert guides escort guests through local villages for enlightening afternoons of cultural interaction. Later, they impart the age-old ways of piranha fishing—often a highlight for the men, who long for a photo with a large, toothy catch.

County commissioners question the value and environmental pitfalls of the proposed 70-mile road.
By DAVID DeCAMP and CHUIN-WEI YAP
Published August 22, 2006
NEW PORT RICHEY — A skeptical County Commission on Tuesday questioned the value and environmental trouble a proposed regional beltway could bring Pasco County.
Unlike the 6-1 vote by the Hillsborough County Commission this month supporting the concept, Pasco commissioners took no vote.
"I find some of the benefits to be questionable and some of the environmental concerns to be underestimated," commission Chairman Steve Simon said.
The 70-mile beltway advocated by the Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority would run east and west across Pasco, linking it to Pinellas, Hillsborough and Manatee counties. Advocates who came before the commission Tuesday said it could decrease traffic on existing roads and highways.
But early maps show it cutting through and around environmentally sensitive land such as the Cypress Creek Wellfield in central Pasco, provoking stiff reactions from environmental advocates. The well field provides drinking water to Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties.
"That's a horribly designed project," said Dan Rametta of Lutz, a leader of the Citizens for Sanity activist group. "It should be renamed the sprawl loop."
Ralph Mervine, executive director of the authority, said he is confident the beltway can dodge the well field and other conservation lands. The authority could return in six months with a more defined proposal for the Pasco commission to vote on, he said.
He and other supporters said Hillsborough officials had been given beltway information earlier than their Pasco counterparts, and a Pasco vote had not been in the plans.
The proposed beltway is supposed to be done by 2015 and financed as a toll road. No cost estimates have been offered.
Don Skelton, regional secretary for the state Transportation Department, and state Sen. Jim Sebesta of St. Petersburg both praised the proposal to commissioners Tuesday. Skelton also suggested there would be no overlap with a state proposal for a 150-mile, 10-county expressway projected in 30 to 50 years.
"We may not need a new beltway today, but I think we definitely need it in the years to come," said Sebesta, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee.
Their pitch has potential sweeteners for Pasco. One is connecting to the Ridge Road extension, which Pasco has failed to accomplish the past 20 years.
Mervine acknowledged tying the Ridge Road extension into the beltway proposal could help Pasco attempts to get approval for the road from federal and state agencies. In an interview Monday, County Commissioner Ann Hildebrand said that could be a big help — but wasn't ready to go ahead.
"We're not ready to sprinkle holy water on it yet," she said.
At this point, the expressway authority has no impact on the evaluation for the Ridge Road extension, said Mike Nowicki, a permit reviewer at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The county has yet to fully satisfy the corps on the environmental compensation package for the project, Nowicki said.
Another test route for the regional beltway follows State Road 54. State transportation officials have proposed building an elevated route on 54, Mervin said, a design that could solve problems securing a right of way and quell environmental objections.
But County Commissioner Ted Schrader suggested the beltway would cause unwanted growth in Pasco, long a Tampa bedroom community. The county is trying to limit development in traditionally rural east Pasco.
"It looks to me like it's going to be serving more of the needs of the Tampa-Hillsborough County area more so than Pasco County," Schrader said.
Mervine said growth is already there.
According to the authority, the average daily traffic at various points along the route in Pasco ranged from 14,000 to 53,000 vehicles. That demand is based on developments already approved in the county, Mervine said.
In interviews, leaders of central Pasco's two biggest developments said the beltway could be a boon, depending on its eventual size and location.
Stewart Gibbons, president of 5,000-acre Connerton, said his views would depend on the size of the proposed beltway through central Pasco.
"If it's a full-fledged toll road (running through Connerton); it would be a very significant concern for us," he said.
"But, my guess is, the amount of traffic from the coast to (Interstate) 75 might not be enough to justify a large toll road."
Don Whyte, president of Newland Communities' southeast operations, expressed similar concern about the beltway's effects on its 7,000-acre Bexley Ranch development. He said the road seems more likely to ride on the Ridge Road extension than cut through Bexley.
"(But) it's hard to get it in the minds of potential residents, and I'm a believer that residents should know exactly what they're getting into," he said.

Pooches, kids love 'Dog Nights at the Library'
As Mining Journal Staff Writer Jackie Stark shared in a story in Wednesday's newspaper, the Peter White Public Library has gone to the dogs, at least on Thursday evenings.
And that's a great thing.
Thursdays are when, in the PWPL children's section, it's "Dog Nights at the Library." From 6 to 7:30 p.m. those nights, children have the chance to sit down to read to a dog. The SuperiorLand Pet Partners club brings in therapy-trained dogs who enjoy having the kids' attention.
It's a drop-in program that has many positives.
For parents, it's an opportunity to encourage their children to read in a special setting outside of the home.
For the dogs, it's time to be the center of attention, gaining much love and affection from young admirers.
For children who don't have a pet at home, it's a chance to interact with dogs who are trained to handle the attention. And even more importantly, the program provides children a way to read out loud without fear of judgment.
"We have had some kids who struggle to read and we have had some kids who are excellent readers who bring chapter books," said Jeni Kilpela, youth services librarian. "They just really love to read to dogs. We have a lot of variance with that. The dogs, they provide positive feedback for kids and for their parents. Some parents want to sit with them and listen."
According to one of the dog owners, the pooches love the program.
"I show (English springer spaniels) and once they're done with the dog show, they need something to do," Mary Lou Kirkum said. "This breed has a very good temperament. They love people. They love to be out with them and they need a job to do, and this is what they want to do."
This volunteer program has been growing in popularity and we certainly can see why: We laud PWPL and the SuperiorLand Pet Partners for working together to make reading even more enjoyable for children.
For more information on the program, contact the library's Youth Services Desk at 226-4323.

White Castle calls (again) for Slider-inspired recipes
The Columbus Dispatch - June 11, 2013 03:31 PM
It may be the closest thing to a bit part in a Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle-like movie that most of us will ever see:
A grand prize appearance in a video with White Castle's executive chef, a visit to the headquarters of the iconic hamburger and a Crave Case filled with Original Sliders every week for a year. That's 1,560 Sliders.
All will go to the person who creates the most crave-worthy recipe using 10 Original Sliders in this year's Crave Time Cookout recipe contest. All recipes must include meat, onions and buns, but the pickles and cheese are optional.
"We're very lucky to have a nation of dedicated Cravers willing to create new and exciting recipes, and this is a fun way for Craver Nation to showcase their culinary skills," said Jamie Richardson, White Castle vice president, in a press release.
Recipes will be judged for their presentation, taste, best use of product, originality and
culinary correctness (a recipe that can be replicated by White Castle's chef). A panel of culinary
professionals will select the top three recipes, for which
Craver Nation website visitors
will vote from Oct. 7 through Oct. 28.
Prospective winners must be members of Craver Nation and have a completed profile on file to submit a recipe. Entries are due by Aug. 31. A winner will be announced in November.
What if the winner lives nowhere near a White Castle restaurant? The prize will include $1,000-worth of frozen Sliders.

Taste Buds Declared War
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So I've had the Nuun All-Day tablets.
From a performance perspective are great. I've used them when I'm pouring sweat and losing all the good stuff while hiking in Moab or while sweating buckets in the Sawtooths. How I feel when taking these is a noticeable difference as compared to when I don't have an Electrolyte supplement.
My taste buds have declared war against the Tangerine-Lime flavor. It's like that time in college when your friend handed you this awful mix drink, but you had to endure.
I'll be trying other flavors to see what tastes better.

Good Product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've been using the other NUUN electrolyte tablets for over a year now especially when playing tennis for 90+ minutes. They have more sodium & potassium since you are sweating more,etc. I wanted to try these for All Day use, i.e. adds some electrolyte and gives water a better taste and adds some vitamins also(not in other Nuun). They are fine but the flavor is not as "rich" or "strong" . I will probably stick with the others for all day use as I am active and on the go anyway. NOTE: Both packages of these NUUN 8 packs came shipped to me with both of the NUUN boxes torn and the individual packs rolling around inside the boxes. Still OK since they are vacuum sealed but Backcountry may want to check into this.
Great stuff
This tastes really good and I prefer it over many other kinds of drinks. It is a great hydrator, and I use it on most of my trips. I highly recommend it
Delicious and Nutritious
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love Nuun and drink it all the time whether I am working out or not. So when I learned that Nuun released a product that was designed for NOT working out, I was stoked. I love that it makes me drink more water and supplements some of the vitamins and electrolytes that being active might deplete me of.
The flavors are stronger than normal Nuun and sometimes have a little bit of a chewy vitamin aftertaste. Definitely worth a try!
