It started off lowered on black CSL reps with imola red interior. When I first bought it I did the sonic/state line thing quite a bit. It was almost always at Fast Fridays as well.
Yep, that must have been you. I remember talking to you a little bit about the car, I thought it looked bad ass back then. Funny, your car played a large role in my interest in M3's.
I did the sonic / state line thing too but mostly just out of H/S, so 05 - 06. Now that I'm back into the car scene it doesnt seem like anyone goes out anymore.

Nepalese Trek to Mt Everest Base Camp
- Highlights
- Fine Print
- Company
The Place
They say the only way to see the wondrous country that is Nepal is by foot, winding your way along scenic trails spying ancient peaks, verdant valleys, rushing rivers and rhododendron forests teeming with wildlife. On this life-changing adventure you'll touch down in Kathmandu (a bustling city of outstanding culture, culinary prowess and natural beauty within the Kathmandu Valley) before flying to Lukla to start your trek up the iconic, literally unmissable and monumental Mount Everest - one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
The People
Your 17-day trek through the spectacular Himalayan countryside from Holiday Nepal / Himalayan Experience will be tailored to suit any age and skill level. Of course, climbing to Mt Everest Base Camp won't be a walk in the park, but this team of expert and friendly trekking gurus will ensure every step is as fun and fantastic as possible. From the domestic flights to your delicious daily meals, four-star accommodation (with the option of a five-star upgrade if available), professional guides to lead your path and advice throughout, everything will be superbly set out for you to set off.
The Points of Interest
Your itinerary over the 17 days takes you through the stunning city of Kathmandu including a tour of the city's magical sites with all your entrance fees included. On your second day, you'll take off in a thrilling plane ride with incredible views to arrive in Lukla. From there, begin your climb, revelling in the wonders of Namche Bazaar, local villages, ancient temples and stunning mountain peaks including Ama Dablam and Khumbu Glacier. Finally you'll arrive at Mount Everest base camp to witness the glorious mountain from its very feet at the culmination of your life changing journey. The stunning views will leave you breathless.
Extra Package?
For those who upgrade, your jungle safari is a wonderland of exotic wilderness as you trek deep into the lush and dense rainforest on elephant back or 4WD. You'll spot exotic birds, wild animals in their natural habitat (up to 43 species are found in Chitwan alone) and enjoy canoe rides on the jungle rivers, nature walks and local villages. It's an experience to remember!

Do Non-Poets Buy Poetry Books?
Do you know any non-poets who buy poetry books? If so, what books do they buy? Anthologies? Books by particular poets? What influences their decision to buy those books? I ask because there was an interesting discussion going on about this over at WOMPO–the Women's Poetry Listserve.
Comments (27)
The constraint-based book Eunoia by Christian Bök went on to be the bestselling book of poetry ever in Canada and made the top ten bestseller list in the UK on a list headed up by Barack Obama. While the reception of Eunoia was acclaimed in academia, it was more beloved amongst the general population, finding its way into thousands of homes of readers who would more likely have a volume of Donald Hall on their shelves than Pounds Cantos.
Well, at least one does. I'm a 52 yr old Episcopal priest. I do not write poetry, but I do read it. Latest purchaces (and actually some reading done within them): Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry; Ray Gonzalez' Faith Run; and Suzanne Gardinier's Dialogue with the Archipelago. I'm pretty much inclined to buy anything that Copper Canyon, New Directions, Ecco, and Archipelago Pr. publish; more selective for university presses as well as the big publishing houses–Norton, Knopf, FSG, but still buy a lot of their stuff as well…Seidel's collected springs to mind.
For my friends, the two things that gets them to buy is:
meeting the poet, and being intrigued to see what else they have to offer…
to support what they want to know more of: love poetry books or social justice books.
I do know non-poet buyers/readers: doctors, lawyers, dentists, realtors, priests, & Indian chiefs. & people whom I sit next to on airplanes 🙂 But a common denominator is they mostly "wish" they were poets.
One curious difference–in Paris there is an annual "marché de la poésie" – an open-air square of book stands in front of a famed church, filled for late spring days with sellers and buyers of small hand made editions, often illustrated, as much art-objects as books, published in France & elsewhere in Europe. This market has always impressed me that there are buyers for poetry that is not a business, in the American sene. The editions are significantly small, & no poet who publishes feels diminished, or aspires to be Collins or Oliver. These are publishers, editors, & poets, who do it for love, not Amazon or academia. (I don't believe it's the only way, certainly. I can admit hope to be read, if possible, across a few spaces. But this scenario has always reminded me what art for the art is.I never hope to ignore that.)
Margo, your mention of the Paris affair brings up another point. The sizes of poetry books. (If this has been discussed already, I apologize.) The common large sizes are unnecessary, and, I imagine, intimidating to the general public. Why must books of poetry be 100 pages long? My idea of a perfect book of poetry is "Like a Bulwark" by Moore.
Eleven poems in a handsome hardcover. About 20 pages with lots of white space. A brief collection that allows one to have a sense of the horizon as one moves along. It welcomes the general public. It looks like a children's book. But it delivers something else. It is a little jewel that you hold in your hand.
100 pages of Ashbery? Sheesh. (And I like him quite much.)
If you read poetry they say you've at least tried to write it, or want to, or wish you are a poet. I imagine the same is true for listening to music–you sing, or you want to.
I do think non-poets buy poetry. They just have to find their way to it. I don't think the poetry biz does a great job of getting outside of its circles. As Kenny points out in his recent post, the UK edition of Christian Bok's book sold out days after an interview (BBC? Something like that?).
Extreme case, but yes, they found their way to the poetry.
Which is why I love those How Poems Work columns that occasionally appear in newspapers: they get poetry to unsuspecting readers. And often with great results.
I was talking to some playwrights up in Provincetown last week–we seemed to talk about the same kinds of things–that if you don't grow up seeing plays and reading poetry, and if you don't begin forming adult taste by picking and choosing among what you like early on and continuously, you'll end up without taste, and therefore without a way in to encountering new kinds of work. So people do want to see contemporary plays (not just Broadway musicals), and they do want to read contemporary poetry (not just xxxxxx fill in the blank for your fave contemporary love-to-hate poet) but they don't know where to begin or what might appeal to them. They haven't gotten into the habit of encountering contemporary art. Of course, too, plays are expensive. Poetry not so much.
Agreed, Daisy. I love the theatre but I don't love sitting through a bad show. Nothing quite as bad as that–you can't put it down, you can't walk out, and sometimes you can't breathe.
Sadly, I guess this is why book prizes have become so important–it's one way to wade through the slush pile. But it's not the best way. What would one think of theatre if they only saw plays that won a Pulitzer?
A non-writer friend once told me poetry was a much better investment than fiction or theater: unlike theatre you take it home, and unlike a novel every time you pick a book of poetry up, it's different.
I know two, but one used to write poetry, and the other is a songwriter.
Regarding prices:
1. I miss small paperbacks! Kenneth Koch and Ashbery used to come out with books that size — I love them because they fit in an inside jacket pocket. Ever since Penguin classics followed the lead of Stallone, Springsteen, and McMansions, and needlessly bulked up their reprints, they've become less attractive and more expensive for no reason other than mirroring an era of conspicuous largeness.
2. Theater Oobleck in Chicago (of which I was a co-founder) charges "pay what you can." In 25 years they've produced 66 original plays (or evenings of short plays), almost all of them to rave reviews, and few serious theater people outside of Chicago have ever heard of them. It's like a local band with 66 original albums, or a poetry collective with 66 books — a sad indictment of the state of national cultural awareness that they're so obscure. None of them make a living from it, though they do get some grant money, and even before grants came in, for many many years the gate paid all production costs; they've never lost money to pay for rent, props, and sets.
Anyway, Daisy, theater in Chicago isn't all expensive. Check them out next time you visit Poetry HQ.
Sina Queyras-
I recently moved across the country, and sold the majority of my books. Not the poetry. Not one volume of it. I think you've hit on something quite true–poetry has staying power.
Of course, some fiction does too. I hung on to my four different editions of Djuna Barnes' Nightwood, my Lorrie Moore and my Graham Greene too.
p.s. regarding size: Only "supermarket fiction" comes out in the size of the old Penguin and Signet Classics. "Literary" publishers decided to distinguish their product from "popular fiction," figuring, I imagine correctly (or else they're just stupid), that they'd make more money by appealing to people's snobbery and charging higher prices than they could for the same number of pages and words per page at a smaller size.
Bummer, dudes!
Some fiction does have staying power, yes. And to be fair, not all poetry is so fresh. Even as I was writing that response I was thinking, "you're not describing all poetry…" but I really was quoting a friend.
Sure Dermot, good things can/may come in small packages…by small editions I wasn't referring to book size so much, tho that can be a way to make a specific treasure–, but to print runs. Less emphasis on numbers, more on the treasure.
& just a thought to Sina & Daisy–re good/bad theatre/poetry/fiction – all the same, really, to me–like the girl with a curl, when she's good she's very very good & when she's bad, she's horrid. (Back as far as Hamlet's hope for the "play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king," one can hope for the play or the poem or the "art" in its best sense, to do its job. When/if it does, no matter the size…it's a good day.
Do Non-Poets Buy Poetry Books?
Based on the numbers I'm seeing and notwithstanding the encouraging exceptions noted by others, my short answer is no.
Some of my non-poet friends have a few of the classics in their library but admit they haven't read them in their entirety. None are quick to discuss contemporary poetry, let alone buy it.
Insofar as my poet friends who do purchase the occasional book are concerned, it is usually because they've met the poet, often after having been dragged to a poetry reading. My experience echoes Margo's:
But a common denominator is they mostly "wish" they were poets.
For what it's worth, I suspect that this may always have been the case. Even in poetry's heyday, when newspapers and non-literary magazines included it in their pages, I'd wager that most of the readers were frustrated/aspiring poets. Also FWIW, I believe that book sales may have been the third most lucrative source of income for professional poets in general, after (in both the chronological and quantitative sense) public appearances and magazine/newspaper royalties. Think of the poets who never published a book during their careers! Alas, in this era when NFL Network mentions poetry more often than PBS does, book sales (and teaching salaries, of course) have become the only potentially significant return we can measure.
Best regards,
I have new copies of Moby-Dick and Sister Carrie in that small size…
Signet Classics both….
So it's only the Penguins — and new lit. — that bulked up! Thanks for the correction.
Green Integer makes the perfect pocket-sized books of poetry, mostly reprints. Small and square. Much better than the supermarket-paperback size. If only the published everything I wanted to read!
I love reading poetry, and though I have written poetry, I'm not a poet. I buy, read, and share books of poetry and individual poems torn from the pages of The New Yorker with other non-poet friends. For some of us, reading Mary Oliver (for example) is a spiritual experience, bringing peace and comfort, a sense of greater mystery, a respite from the chaos of the world that is "too much with us." I read Billy Collins because he makes me laugh and John Donne when I want to spend time the language. I have one large bookshelf dedicated to books of poetry, everything from anthologies to several volumes of Adrienne Rich.
I bought and read poetry long before I became an English major, and my notes on poets and poetry go all the way back to junior high school. I have a few non-poet friends who have a similar background and similar bookshelves, and I know this isn't typical. I wonder if there might be a gender difference in the answers to your questions.
I love the question, and it's been interesting reading the answers. Thanks.
Well, I guess it depends on what you define as a 'non-poet.' Both myself and many of my friends have studied poetry, write the occasional poem for private consumption and buy poetry books – but I'm not sure whether that make us poets in the formal sense? I believe that many people are poets without ever realising that they are, let alone being published. Many people I know buy and enjoy poetry books – mostly anthologies, comic poetry plus some of the classics i.e. Shakespeare. What influences their decision to buy? The literary canon, cut price book deals, books that are recommended by friends.
It would be interesting to see what responses you'd get through a non-poetry related poll for comparison…
Speaking of the size of volumes lately, I would absolutely agree that books of poetry have become laughably large, and take up a useless amount of space. Big white pages that stretch well beyond a poems' end, font sizes for the near-blind, and gaping gaps between lines take away that which I most love about poetry: their portable presence. When I read poetry, I am celebrating for a short moment of reading something which can lift me up, again if only for a short moment, at any time, in any circumstance. Poetry that can be carried around at all times provides a magnificent source of comfort to which one can turn whenever necessary-and many more times in gratuitously fun reading. Having said that, I have found that there is a German publisher by the name Reclam who prints books (and some in English) in very readable font, yet at roughly the size of the palm of your hand. Poetry for your pocket is absolutely necessary-I have a copy of about 150 Shakespeare's sonnets which I carry in my back pocket and love every line of it.
Lucy and Verna,
The question is a funny one — "are you a poet?" is a question of identity, and I understand why you answered as you did even though you both write or have written poetry. "Do you write poetry?" is less vexed and vexing a question — it asks what a person does instead of asking them to define themselves by what they do. I wrote a lot of poetry in college and then thought I had stopped, but always kept buying books; but now since I've started writing more regularly again (inspired by the internet — thanks, Harriet! [and others]) and am talking with an artist friend about doing a book together, I realize that I had never completely stopped; and that I still wouldn't call myself a poet. I don't hesitate to call myself a musician, even though I've never made a living from it ("semi-pro" is a term I've romanticized from sports); and I'm always interested to know whether anybody I meet plays music too, being a big believer in amateur music-making.
Thanks for your answers — very interesting!
Verna and Lucy,
Nice to hear from you both. Verna, you say your notes on poetry "go all the way back to junior high school…" I'm intrigued by this. Most readers don't respond directly to the work. Have your thoughts on poetry changed over the years? I am also interested in your statement that you are looking for poetry that takes you out of the world already "too much with us."
I hear you on that, but hesitate to thin that poetry should only be solace, or lament, or any one gesture. What about poetry that helps us be in the world differently?
Too quick! That should be "hesitate to think," although I also hesitate to thin.
Thanks for the opportunity to add zest to my life, among the many other avenues! So much to read, and so little time! Thanks be to God for all the individual He created!
Who is poetry
What is it
Do you write
Do you love?
Are you full
Are you empty
Do you sing
Do you speak?
Is poetry success
Is it being asked
Do you feel it
Does it flash by?
It may be
being alone
wishing and remembering
writing the first thoughts
and leaving them for others.

If Hiromu sees a chicken he will panic and freezes right?. And in episode 2 his Red BuddyRoid states that his weak point only lasted for 5 minutes is that true?

Interview: Referee Bruce McTavish
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Philippines-based future Hall of Fame referee Bruce McTavish says China is poised to take over Asian boxing. "China will be the hub of boxing within 5 years, said McTavish. "I was the referee when WBC champion Zhong won the world title. I helped Liu Gang start eight years ago in Kunming, China. Introduced numerous seminars, refs and judges, medical, training tecniques etc. Gang was a pioneer but will be eaten up by the big money guys."
McTavish was born in New Zealand and moved to the Philippines on February 12, 1967 where he married Carmen Tayag. They have been based in Angeles City, Philippines since the 1970s.
He expressed concerns about Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao saying "Manny lost his focus because of politics and religion."
Bruce worked Filipino icon Manny Pacquaio's biggest fight in the Philippines. "Oscar Larios at the Araneta Coliseum. It was the second biggest fight in Philippines boxing history after Ali vs, Frazier. The safest day in history because 80 million people were watching."
McTavish also refereed Australian great Jeff Fenech's fight when he captured his first world title in 1985. Comparing Pacquiao to Fenech, McTavish says "At featherweight, Manny would have been too powerful for Jeff."
At the age of 73, McTavish stays very busy refereeing fights all over Asia and says he feels fit as a fiddle, "with several years left working as a world championship referee…fitness, eating habits and attitude are essential as a referee. I know 40-year-old referees that should not be in a ring. I still have eight years to go to emulate my mentor Arthur Mercante Senior, who worked his last world tile bout at 81 years of age."

The Pirates! Band of Misfits Reviews
Even when the whimsy in The Pirates! Band of Misfits's history-be-damned story (which also ropes in Charles Darwin) feels a bit forced, the magic of the medium never does.
A curiosity cabinet of visual pleasures but so breezy and lightly funny that you may not realize at first how good it is. (You're too busy grinning.)
It makes for an experience that, while geared toward younger, more fidgety audiences, has enough humor to keep Mom and Dad from falling asleep.
The movie looks meticulously crafted, of course, and is consistently, drily amusing.
A script that consistently finds fresh outlets for its running gags makes for a sufficiently rollicking pleasure cruise from Britain's Aardman Animations...
The result is indeed a rollicking good time, even if Aardman's ambitions don't quite dazzle as usual.
Another deliriously silly stop-motion animation delight from Aardman, filled with giddy pleasures and witty details.
A few hours after seeing the 3-D version of "The Pirates!" I was smiling at the memory of the best bits, some so fleeting they practically dare an audience to catch them on the fly.
I wouldn't use it as a study guide for Victorian history, though it would be fun to see the reaction on the teacher's face when the test was graded.
After dipping its toes into pure CG animation for Arthur Christmas, Aardman integrates its feted old-school stop-motion technique with top-drawer visual effects to create the irrepressibly amusing The Pirates! Band of Misfits.
The joyfully silly gags in "Pirates!" often feel old-fashioned in a "Looney Tunes"-esque way...
Purists can rest easy. This marriage doesn't scupper Aardman's classic clay-based animated heritage and the script is still filled with the kind of dry laughs only the Brits can conjure up, with many of the jokes of the visual variety.
To paraphrase a certain man with a certain luxuriant beard, it's only impossible to enjoy if you stop to think about it.
Designed to please all generations of irreverent humour-lovers, The Pirates! Band of Misfits may not be heart-warming (it is about nasty, scurvy pirates!) but it's breezy rollicking fun.
The Pirates!, like previous Aardman productions, is not just for kids.
A delightful romp whose varied pleasures should please kids all along the age spectrum.
The movie ... is a cheerful entertainment, suitable for kids and parents of the brighter stripe. It's just not Nick Park great.

Its like the club for your pedal (i use mine on my clutch) I cant really say how it works, but looks like a good, solid piece. I dont like parking my car in this enviroment without using it.
Searching ebay will find them for like 35 shipped or so. Well worth it to hopefully not have your car end up like many have been recently.

Nashville, TN - Country music fans were welcomed to the CMA Music Festival with an extra-special sweet treat yesterday as Denali Flavors, developers of Moose Tracks Ice Cream flavor and Purity Dairy gave away 10,000 scoops of the popular ice cream during their 10,000 Scoops Challenge to raise $10,000 for Michael W.

"I've been working out at the gym here lately," said Crabb. "But I couldn't turn down a chance to cheat on my diet a little bit to help my friend Michael W. Smith and Rocketown by scooping and eating some great Moose Tracks Ice Cream! It was an excellent excuse, ha!"

Jonjo Shelvey believes Blackpool are well placed to claim an immediate return to the Barclays Premier League.
Liverpool midfielder Shelvey scored six times during a 10-game loan spell at Bloomfield Road before being recalled to Anfield in light of serious knee injury suffered by Brazil international Lucas last week.
"The team can go up again, it's just about getting the level of consistency and doing it week in, week out," Shelvey told Blackpool's official website. "The lads are more than capable of doing that."
The 19-year-old is grateful for his time with Ian Holloway's squad and has not ruled out a return to help the Seasiders' promotion push.
He added: "I've got a lot to thank the fans and the club for because I've had the opportunity to play.
"Overall I think I've done well at Blackpool and I hope I've given the fans something to remember.
"If I'm allowed out on loan by Liverpool again in a short period of time then I'd love to come back."

ETSU wireless access points are available to ETSU students, faculty, and staff. If you have a wireless adapter (wireless card) in your computer, you will be able to connect to the ETSU network via a wireless connection. Security for all ETSU Wireless Access Points is enabled by WPA2-Enterprise with AES encryption.
For most people, configuration should be rather easy. Vista should detect the wireless network and determine what the security settings are. You may get a bubble in the lower-right portion of your screen that looks like the one below.
If you're telling Vista to connect to the network, you may get a screen that asks you to choose a certificate or to enter credentials.
When you click on either one of them, you should be presented with a box to enter your username and password. You'll also need to enter "ETSU" for the logon domain.
You'll probably be presented with the previous screen that asks you for additional logon information. The difference this time is you'll be presented with a message to validate the certificate, as shown below.
Simply click on the OK button and you should be connected a few seconds later.
If for some reason the default settings won't work, there are some instructions below to allow you to manually configure Vista to connect to the network.

Hello all
Last week (4th November), I got a call about some bees on a honeycomb in an apple tree. When I went to se, sure enough, there were bees clustered on several combs suspended from a near-horizontal branch some 7 feet up.
I took a few photos and wondered what to do. To hive or not to hive, that was the question. In the end I guessed that they'd no chance of surviving the winter if left, so into a hive they had to go. I cut off the combs, wired them into empty frames and bunged 'em into a hive placed below theoir branch. Three combs had patches of sealed and unsealed broodabout 3 inches in diameter. Once the combs had been cut away it became plain what had happened. There was a spherical hole in the branch, some 5 inches in diameter. A swarm had settled there some time in the summer, then outgrown the space available. Poor things
Anyway, when I went back the next night,the bees were in the hive, with no stragglers left on the branch, so I brought them home and started feeding.
Questions. What can I do to increase their chances of survival? Should i feed sugar syrup? Will they be able to thiken it enough for it to keep? or maybe give them some honey? I have no combs of sealed stores to give them and I don't want to disturb my other bees this late in the season. Would it help to give them some insulation to help them keep warm,bearing in mind that there's not a huge number of them?
Also some reassurance that I've done the right thing in moving them would be nice> I'm feeling some pangs of conscience for destroying their home, even if with the best of intentions.
Your input would be much appreciated

Sep 3, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee junior Cheyenne Spade was named to the CS360 Primetime Performers Weekly Honor Roll for Week 2.
The Primetime Performers Honor Roll differs from many other weekly awards as it takes into account the quality of opponents and other situational factors. Spade is the first UT player to garner CS360 weekly honors since Julie Eckel was named the CS360 National Primetime Player of the Week on Oct. 23, 2012.
Spade had a major impact for Tennessee this week with three big assists over two starts and 125 minutes of play.
Against No. 17 UCF on Friday, Spade dealt assists on both of UT's goals as the team rallied for a 2-1 upset win. With Tennessee down, 1-0, in the 54th minute, Spade arced in a beautiful free kick into the box that was right on goal for Katie Lenz to tap in for the equalizer. In the 81st minute, Spade fired another nice free kick into the box to find and diving Hannah Wilkinson there for the header into the back of the net.
In Tennessee's 2-0 win over James Madison on Sunday, Spade found Hannah Wilkinson for a breakaway into the box in the fourth minute. Wilkinson got past the goalkeeper to net the game winner.
Tennessee will next host Dayton on Friday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. Admission to all 2013 regular-season Tennessee soccer matches at Regal Soccer Stadium is free. The game will feature a free live video broadcast on UTSports.com with Brian Rice on the call, Tori Beeler Watson providing analysis and Dani Klupenger reporting from the sideline.

I had wonderful time at Athens. The room is very nice, really well-kept and clean. Staff is helpful and polite. Surrounding is quite good however street noise is audible. The place is in very useful localization - approx. 5min. to Metro station and 15 min. to bus terminal.
I recommend very strongly this room and Miglen.
Modern spacious apartment close to public transport. The only negative is that it is located on a busy street and the noise is continuous with traffic all the time, especially the noise of buses and motorbikes.
Showed up a day and a half late due to flight delays and was still greeted and well taken great care of :)
we had a great time at Miglen's house, all perfect and confortable, we enjoyed the staying and our journey, surely we will come back in the beautiful Athens! thank you so much, see you!
Miglen and his family are fabulous hosts. Everything about the apartment is clean and comfortable. The location is ideal, close to public transport and the centre of Athens if you like a walk. I will return without hesitation and am envious of anyone else enjoying my room. :-)
Hello Miglen,
It was great! Very close to Plaka where everything happens. The quality of the room was also perfect for us!
We had a very nice stay at Miglens place! It is an old apartment, but there were everything we needed and it was very cheap. The hosts were simply the most helpfull and friendly people. The apartment lies only 15 minutes walk from acropolis, so if you need a cheap place close to the centre of Athens, Miglens place is perfect :)
Miglen picked us up at a shopping mall close to the apartment. He was very nice and helpful, explaining us everything we need to know for a couple of days in Athens. The apartment was clean and close to the old town (Acropolis etc.). It's not luxurious but everything you need if you are planning a city trip. We very much enjoyed our time in Athens and recommend the stay at Miglen's.
Miglen is a nice person, will welcome you very well and will probably help you if needed. Booking process: super fast, internet works, the room was ready & cleaned, like the whole house. It is safe and close to the centre…. My only reservation will be : There is no A/C, only a fan, so i suspect it could be quite uncomfortable during very hot nights.

Facebook's Messenger Gets Voice Option As The Firm Tests VoIP Service In Canada
Watch out Skype, and all you other VoIP peeps, Facebook is on your case.
Mark Zuckerberg is acting on his promise of putting Facebook's mobile services first–after all, mobile is where the action is. Last week we had the Poke app, Facebook's Snapchat clone, and as of yesterday, users of Facebook's iOS and Android Messenger apps can now leave voice messages for friends.
And if you're in Canada, you can make and receive VoIP calls. Expect this one to be a runaway success and, when it almost certainly rolls out to the rest of the world, Facebook will be providing free phone calls to a billion people–unless, of course, its plan is eventually to charge for all the extra little doo-dahs that other VoIP providers charge for.

When LeVar Burton launched a Kickstarter campaign to revive his long-running educational series Reading Rainbow on the web, his target was $1M. Two days later, he had $2M — and the figure has doubled since. Now the man behind Family Guy, Ted and A Million Ways To Die In The West is upping the ante even further. Seth MacFarlane has committed $1M to the project, but it comes in the form of a challenge to the public: He will match every pledge from the $4M mark up to $5M through July 2. Burton plans to produce Reading Rainbow — which he hosted and exec produced during its entire PBS run from 1983-2006 — as a web series and make it available to students nationwide. He said the original $1M goal would have covered free subscriptions for 1,500-plus classrooms, but $6M would make it available for free to 12,500-plus.
For Seth MacFarlane, 'Reading' Is Fundamental

A Million Ways To Get A Tax Write-Off , Seth?
Even if, still better than buying a dead horse to write off, no ?
If it is a tax write off then that's Seth's business to do with his own money that he earned. If it's a self helping gesture that he benefits from, so be it.. What matters is the final result of the donated money going towards something highly positive to help our kids across the country. Hell how much have you contributed to the cause, ZERO! Some people will always hate the next person who is doing better then themselves Envy is your weakness..
I think 'Herb Finn' was poking fun at Seth's "A Million Ways to Die in the West"…let's not be so cynical people. But this is the most awesome gesture for a most awesome program. I am happy. I've spent years building a library for my kids and I of over 1000 books, not including the unlimited supply via my Kindle. This type of giving lets me know what to do with all those books and I will jump onboard with my support. I think that is the lesson learned.

BeschreibungA macho struggle for supremacy over a barbecue; a young boy's daydream carved on a wall; a snatched moment of passion in a cramped tunnel deep underground; two obsessive genealogists united by a century-old tragedy; and one man's bizarre newspaper-buying habits.
These unforgettable moments chronicle the lives of a diverse range of characters, played out against a backdrop of over 150 years of British industrial history. The author explores the effects--both protective and oppressive--of industrial communities on those who live at the heart of them. His lucid prose vividly depicts the humanity of the individual struggling to gain a footing in this world of mass-identity, and the devastating consequences of the industrial decay of the late Twentieth Century on those whose lives have been built around it.
This finely crafted short story collection introduces a fresh and youthful new voice in fiction.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Most of the kids don't even know where the milk comes from ! !
I finally made a block Here it is, it's one of the 50 fabulous Stars.
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
Neat job, Anael. Beautiful bright colors in the star.
Anael, I'm working on those same blocks. They look so complicated but have been going together easily (at least so far). I have 8 done. Will have to try to get a pic this week-end. I love the dark blue star fabric--great block.
Carrie, I'll accept your challenge to finish my Batik Rosie this month. OMG now that I typed that I'm committed!! Keep pushing me please!
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
Thanks QNS and Jan!
@Jan: this is only my second block. Please post pics of your blocks, I would love to see them!!
Rosie......oh my, I still have to finish that one too.l I even don't know how many blocks are left to do!
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
I'm calling it a day. It's 11.06 pm here, I'm having a headache and tomorrow will be hot and humid so no fun. I have to go out for dinner tomorrow night otherwise I would NOT go outside!
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
Anael ... *sigh* Bonus with both B_+Ws and Reds! Ditto re few cows outside now. Your photo could just as easily be taken here. Reminds me so much of my old farm with the shade trees on the field's edge. Ditto, as for cows in barns now. More and more here too, and I bet it's well above 1/2. Very often better care can be given the cattle and more consistency year round, being that ours need the barn for the winter weather. Yes, we have many Dutch farmers who have settled here in Canada, dairy and many other farm types and have done quite well with their farm operations. And many came as you got older too! Beautiful Star Block!
You bet ... many don't know where their milk "really" comes from!!! .... and thus, think of me for the next month, helping to educate the consumer about just that! We will have 13 cows milking in two demos a day (1/2 each time) along with young stock to help them see how "big" a calf is at birth, and then the growth for the first year. Lots of other displays with that. The most important part is the ability for them to ask questions, directly to producers (or has-beens, like me!)
JanRN and CarrieM ... yeaaaaaaaaa Two Rosies coming up! The Challenge is on!!
JanRN and Anael ... perhaps another challenge? Look forward to seeing your blocks, JanRN!
Sleep well, Anael .. and beat that headache
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Anael--that is a pretty block and nice cow pictures. I saw some cows out to pasture today on my way home and thought of you riding and taking pictures.
Jan--I will get my blocks out tonight and decide how I want to put them together.
QE--Jan is finishing Rosie (my Rosie was finished in February); my goal is to finish my 2nd PC quilt this month. I just figured like Jan if we said we would do it, then it is more likely to be done!
Quiet evening...surprised I was the last one to post...and here I am again.
I brought in my PC blocks tonight and have a layout figured out (didn't want just straight rows/sashing). Tomorrow I will get them on my design wall to decide what blocks will go where. I have a headache today too (Anael are you sharing?) I didn't do sewing this afternoon, but I'll be home all day tomorrow so will for sure have time in the clubhouse. #1 PC layout, #2 quilt baby quilt, and #3 sew next step of flying geese for MIL quilt. I want to be able to stare at the PC layout through out the day to see if I need to move blocks around. The baby quilt shouldn't take long and if I get the next step on MIL's quilt done, then I can bring in pieces for pressing and trimming in the evening. It could potentially be a very productive day.
Wooden spoons were my favorite weapon of choice ..... I'm off to sleep again...gosh..that sounds familiar doesn't it....Gee, Carriem & Jan, you two might just be the motivation I need to get my Rosie & PC finished... Sandman is here...eyes are beginning to close...Goodnight all...
........... and they're offffffffffff!!!!
Honchey, CarrieM and JanRN racing to the finish line with their Rosie's and PC's!
The wager office is now open ....
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!

Hi all,
So, after our previous SB victory (man, it feels good to have to distinguish between MULTIPLE recent SB victories) I ordered the hardcover commemorative book(issue) and DVD from SportsIllustrated.
I went to go do the same just now and I don't see any way to get the book/DVD without SUBSCRIBING to the magazine! What gives!?
SI.com: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/
(only?) SB package: https://subscription.si.com/storefro...k&link=1008380
Can anyone help me out here? I can imagine why they would bury the cheaper offer to make a lot of people subscribe but... yea... this obviously wasn't the case 4 years ago!
Thanks in advance!

text: I call it stealing moments. I work full time, but as a teacher, so there are many vacations to spend sewing. My days start at 5:20 am to do barn chores, then prepare for school. If there's 10 extra min in the morning, I can accomplish something. We're empty nesters, too, so if I have energy after teaching 24 10-11 year olds, and doing more chores when I get home, and if I don't have school work, I will quilt. As others have said, bits of time really add up. It takes me a long time to make a quilt.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins' red zone offense took plenty of snaps Saturday night – and finally produced a touchdown.
The first-team offense scored its only TD just before halftime on its 17th play inside the Tampa Bay 20, but the Buccaneers scored with 1:03 left in the game to win 17-16.
Miami's starters netted 180 yards playing the entire first half, their most extensive outing in four exhibition games. Ryan Tannehill went 17 for 27 for 150 yards and a 4-yard score to Brandon Gibson with 10 seconds left in the half for a 13-10 lead.
The score could have been lopsided in the Dolphins' favor, but Gibson and Brian Hartline dropped potential touchdown passes, and twice they settled for short field goals.
Miami fell to 1-3 with one exhibition game left. The Buccaneers improved to 1-2, but their first-team offense sputtered again.
Tampa Bay's Josh Freeman went 6 for 16 for 59 yards and lost a fumble while playing 2 1/2 quarters. The turnover came at midfield with 1:29 left in the first half and led to Miami's lone touchdown.
Tampa Bay had an edge in special teams, with backup linebacker Adam Hayward making two fumble recoveries on the punt coverage team, which led to the Bucs' first 10 points. One turnover came after the kick hit blocker Nolan Carroll, and returner Marcus Thigpen lost a fumble.
The takeaways pleased former Dolphins head coach Dave Wannstedt, who is in his first year as Tampa Bay's special teams coach.
Miami began the game with a 17-play drive that took 8 1/2 minutes – but settled for a field goal. Tannehill completed six consecutive passes during the possession, including one on fourth down.
It was another slow start by the Bucs' defense, which allowed the Patriots' Tom Brady to go 8 for 8 on a game-opening touchdown drive last week.
Lamar Miller had the edge on Daniel Thomas in their competition for the job as Miami's No. 1 running back. Miller had eight carries for 35 yards, including a 20-yard run on his first carry. Thomas carried seven times for 3 yards.
Two-time Pro Bowl guard Davin Joseph, who missed Tampa Bay's entire 2012 season because of a right knee injury, played for the first time this preseason but couldn't give the ground game much of a boost. Brian Leonard led Tampa Bay with 38 yards rushing and a score in 10 carries.
Tampa Bay's David Douglas scored for the second week in a row when he caught a 12-yard pass from Mike Glennon with 1:03 left.
Cornerback Darrelle Revis, who began practicing with the Bucs' first defensive unit this week, sat out his third exhibition game in a row as he comes back from knee surgery. Left guard Carl Nicks (infected left big toe) and running back Doug Martin (head) were also sidelined.
Veteran Rian Lindell, signed this week by the Bucs because Lawrence Tynes has a toe infection, kicked a 38-yard field goal. Rookie Caleb Sturgis, who has clinched a job with the Dolphins, went 3 for 3 on field goals.

Hm. During my search around the forums I found this. Of course it's basically impossible to resist unfortunately, since Wakfu is one of the MMO's I was waiting for. I followed the link, and entered my info, and got the 'key'. I followed the next link to submit the key on the correct area of the Wakfu website, and every time it said, "Your Beta-test key is invalid, please check it again." I double checked, triple checked, and checked the code I received even more, and I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.
If you know what's wrong, would you please tell me? Sorry I'm not smart enough to figure it out. Though, it's not like I'll die a painful death if I don't play soon.
Unless I misunderstood like an even bigger idiot, thanks for trying anyway.
I got a beta key for wakfu then I downloaded the game, and its in french. the installation is in french. im like wtf =[
then when i finished installing i tried to pleh and all i get is a white screen.
sorry if this doesnt belong here but I can't find where to go on the wakfu forums.
im having trouble with the pass word what should i do#
Question:When I log on, I'm alone in the world. There are no players (or only players that don't do anything), no monsters to fight and no resources to collect. What's going on?
Answer:The server is rebooted every morning between 9 and 10 (Ankama time, so go by the Dofus clock) Monday through Friday. People have been reporting this same "alone in the world" problem on the French side, but it usually clears up after a reboot.
End Quote.
I will also add ahead of time that there is frequently problems with even trying to start a battle with a monster.
makes sense
whats the ankama time though
The server reboots 3:00-4:00 AM GMT every week day, so it won't reboot any time this weekend.
There will be a new patch on monday, from what I heard, that will fix all the problems.
So I suggest not playing until monday.
sup guiz lol
title says it all when i try to log on says pw isnt valide and im not entering it wrong because im copy and pasting it any help? lol
This CB = yet ANOTHER (concerto gate + Project powder are with it) FAIL.
Reason for fail-sauce: You can't do anything, no npc. cant fight. people don't move or talk. Oh, and your status menu (str, dex, hp, etc) is in french.
If you can't just be positive about a game then shut up, because the only thing I hear from you is that everything is bad bad bad and you didn't even try most of the games before judging them!
I'm only one voice in a million, but you ain't taking that from me!

When I was a child, like most children of the 1970s I had a little Post Office Savings Bank account which kept safe the few, paltry dollars I earned through household chores, working at the local dairy and picking and packing tomatoes.
Each week the local postmistress, Miss Lorna Syme, would meticulously count out all the grubby coins and tattered $1 and $2 notes deposited by the children of Patumahoe School, painstakingly recording each transaction both in her own ledger and each of our shabby, frayed deposit books.
Unfortunately for us and Miss Syme, Richard Prebble was soon to assume the wet noodles of power. Patumahoe - like most small towns - lost its Post Office, the children lost their special relationship with their postmistress, and saving was never quite as exciting again.
Perhaps I am romanticising a little. I don't remember saying more than two sentences to Miss Syme in my life. She no doubt found me and my cohorts to be gobby little shites.
The business case for a post-office-cum-savings-bank in a village of around 400 people possibly doesn't bear much scrutiny. Our combined savings would probably have been wiped out by Miss Syme's goodbye morning tea.
But one thing is certainly true: banking became a completely different business between then and now, and few would suggest it is for the better.
Research by Gallup Consulting this month suggested that 34 per cent of 2584 Kiwis surveyed would not recommend their bank to family and friends - a staggering statistic that suggests a third of Kiwis continue giving their business to a bank that they supposedly despise.
A further anomaly arises when you consider that although 80 per cent of us think Kiwibank is a national treasure, and consistently rate it as the most liked bank for service and competitive offers (and advertising, I reckon), it has not yet managed to crack more than 10 per cent of the retail market or 4 per cent of the small business market.
In short, the bulk of us labour on with banks we feel - rightly or wrongly - treat us shabbily and rort us senseless.
Granted, there has been a lot of negative press in the intervening years - tales of bankers living high on the hog, or enormous profits being shunted back to overseas investors as Mum and Dad Jones in New Zealand struggle to pay exorbitant fees on their nest egg.
But can these factors in themselves account for the fact that many of those surveyed saw banks as a "necessary evil"? Is it a feeling against bank management; banking in general, even, that people are reflecting in this survey, or has everyday bank service become more impersonal and unsatisfying?
From where I am sitting, it seems to me that banks are working harder than ever to engage their customers, even if they are going about it in a cack-handed fashion. My bank is forever suggesting changes to accounts, sending me text messages to warn me I'm overdrawn (while helping themselves to a hefty slice of my future earnings to punish me for my financial incompetence), suggesting this life insurance and that KiwiSaver account, and giving my children large yellow elephant money boxes. If I'm not engaged, I'm at least in a long-term, monogamous relationship.
Which is, of course, language that none of us would have dreamed of using towards the Post Office of old, where deposit books were king and the postmistress simply took our money, put it in the safe, and wished us a happy day. Simpler times, those.

The roof overhang, clad in western red cedar, and bolstered by timber louvres on the upper terrace, provides natural shading from the sun. Geothermal ground-source pumps heat the building while rainwater supplies water for the loos and solar panels heat water for the changing rooms.
The Lee Valley White Water Centre, home of London 2012's Olympic Canoe slalom in Broxbourne, typifies the Games' green agenda. Almost 40 per cent of its materials have recycled content.
Athens' experience of boarded-up venues convinced London's organisers they must avoid that fate and since we won host nation with the promise to deliver the greenest games ever, this elegant and efficient building - and many others like it - exemplifies the true legacy of the 2012 Games.
What really mattered was building less and ensuring that what was built touched the earth lightly. It was a clear case of less is more, much of which will be unseen by the general public. For example, the world's press and broadcasters will arrive at the Media Centre through an extraordinary bridge enclosed by a timber screen of unfinished larch and a ceiling of stressed-skin plywood panels.
Each of the five new permanent sporting venues in the Olympic Park - the stadium, aquatics centre, velodrome and two community sports facilities - has been designed with efficiency in mind. The velodrome is a particular showcase for sustainability and clever architecture. Underfloor heating of the track keeps the cyclists' zone at the carefully controlled temperatures required for shaving seconds off their times, while jet nozzles in the balconies boost heating and ventilation in spectator seating areas.
Better still, existing venues - from Wimbledon to the ExCel Centre - have been put to work. ExCel alone will house five temporary stands and more than a dozen sporting events.
In another Olympic first, binding targets were written into planning agreements. Without targets, it's impossible to measure success. Hopkins Architects' velodrome exceeds the energy efficiency targets by more than 30 per cent, and the stadium used less than a quarter of the steel of Beijing's Bird's Nest.
It's not just the buildings but also the new open spaces that will be pushing the boundaries of sustainable design. After the Olympic train moves on, east London will be home to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - its 102 hectares of metropolitan open space only slightly fewer than Kensington Gardens.
A new approach, which owes as much to ecology as aesthetics, relies on spreadsheets - not planting plans - to determine which plant species should be located within each square metre of new parkland. Under the direction of James Hitchmough, professor of horticultural ecology at the University of Sheffield, 85,000 sq m of the northern park have been seeded rather than planted. This makes planting more affordable, but the end result is subject to the vagaries of climatic variation - wind, rainfall and temperature.
"Sustainability does not happen by itself," Dan Epstein, the Olympic Delivery Authority's former head of sustainability, reiterated at a conference recently. It requires vision, leadership, technical expertise and constant monitoring. It's also invisible. Visitors to the Olympic Park will not be greeted by a wind turbine or photovoltaic arrays.
But the game's not over yet. Locog's staging of the Games will be critical to promoting the sustainable agenda in the public eye. And the Olympic Park Legacy Company (soon to be transformed into a Mayoral Commission), responsible for what happens next, will be the ultimate rainmaker for east London.
London 2012 Sustainable Design - Delivering a Games Legacy, by Hattie Hartman, is published by John Wiley & Sons this week.Reuse content

MANAMA, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Bahrain has ordered a top U.S. diplomat to leave the country immediately, as he meddled in Bahrain's internal affairs, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday.
The Ministry said that U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Tom Malinowski is not welcome and should leave immediately.
"His activities included holding meetings with one party, leaving out others who represent different parts of society," the statement said.
Reports said that Malinowski on Sunday met with members of Shiite opposition group Al Wifaq, which has staged frequent anti- government protests in order to gain more political rights.
"Such activities are contrary to diplomatic norms and relations between states," the statement added.
But the statement reaffirmed Bahrain's strong and solid relations with the United States, underlining that the progress and development of the bilateral ties should not be affected by such unfortunate acts.
A U.S. ally in the Middle East, Bahrain provides a base for U.S. Navy's fifth fleet.


text: I've decided to go on a diet, starting today. I'm posting because it will give me incentive to stick to it. I'm planning to lose 15 lbs., 20 at the most. The diet I go on will give me this result in a healthy way, I've done it before with successful results. And I'm combining it with more regular visits to the gym. Not real overweight, but I'm not happy with what I've been eating lately (too much high-carb stuff such as pizza). I want to increase my energy and enjoy the added benefit of looking a little more fit and slim. I'll post in each week with a progress report, until I've reached my goal. Thanks for reading this post.

text: In my experience on message boards, it seems that the majority of the fans tend to have blamed Sheed, Flip, Rip, Chauncey, etc... But why is Tayshaun Prince excluded from said criticism? Is it because of his tranquil personality? I'd really like to know Here was tonight's line for Prince... 4 points, 1-7 FG, 1 rebound, 4 assist, 3 steals. His defense, which has always been a bit overrated, was a total non-factor.... Pierce had his way with him all night long, scoring 20 points on 10 shots. I truly believe that Prince has always been our "X-Factor" and he is the primary reason the Pistons have not advanced past the ECF in each of the last 3 years. The bigger the stage, the worse he gets. Take a look at his playoff numbers.. 2006: First and second round stats 16.6 PPG, 5.4 REB, 3.1 APG, 47% FG, 82% FT, 50% 3 PT ECF vs. Heat 16.1 PPG, 6.1 REB, 2.7 APG, 44% FG, 84% FT, 39% 3 PT 2007: First and second rount stats 17.3 PPG, 6.6 REB, 3.3 APG, 50% FG, 70% FT, 50% 3 PT ECF vs. Cavs 8.6 PPG, 6.1 REB, 4.5 APG, 24% FG, 75% FT, 17% 3 PT 2008: First and second round stats 16 PPG, 6 REB, 3.3 APG, 56% FG, 77% FT, 33% FT ECF vs. Celtics 9.8 PPG, 4.3 REB, 3 APG, 32% FG, 83% FT, 30% 3 PT As you can clearly see, Prince has been a miserable failure offensively each of the past 3 ECF's. Of course, he wasn't exactly shutting down his primary offensive player. 2006 Wade: 26.7 PPG, 5.1 REB, 5.5 APG, 62% FG 2007 LeBron: 25.6 PPG, 9 REB, 8.5 APG, 45% FG 2008 Pierce: 19.6 PPG, 5.8 REB, 3.8 APG, 49.3% FG Tonight certainly wasn't a "big game" in the grand scheme of things, but you can tell it meant something to both teams for a regular season game.... they were both going at it, playing very physical. But the point remains.... Prince is a no-show in big games.

It's the end-of-year, time-for-reflection time and we're thinking back to all the HelloGiggles stories that we truly loved in 2014. Here's just one of our faves, which was originally published on May 13, 2014
Let me tell you about this dress: It's black raw silk with princess sleeves, a cinched waist, a high collar and very short hemline. It's the kind of dress you'd wear to a 1960s advertising agency or a very scandalous funeral. It hits every high note on my style scale, in fact, it's perfect, except: it buttons from the back. The problem is not just a button. It's the button on the back of my favorite vintage dress that I just cannot reach.
Here's why this drives me crazy: a) I can reach all five of the other buttons b) this button happens to be positioned right at the center of my back where my bra line rests c) the hole it presents when unbuttoned is very revealing — not only in the literal sense, but in the way that world can see a simple fact of my life. That breezeway to my back lets the very perceptive know — without a word — that I live alone. I have no helping hands. When I get dressed it's usually a solo project. It's not a secret, and not usually a source of shame, unless I'm wearing the weight of it on my back.
Inevitably, I leave the house looking almost put together, in the hopes that no one notices the opening exposing my bra hook. And inevitably someone always notices.
If you're a fellow vintage-hound, you understand there is a certain harmony that comes with finding a dress designed for some woman from another era that fits you both physically and psychologically. It's a kind of "Quantum Leap" moment, where you step into the suit of another generation. What frustrates me about the button on my favorite vintage dress is that I can never completely close the gap. Between two buttons, the fabric is a loudmouth, letting the whole world know I am not the woman intended for this dress.
Recently, I started noticing that all of my favorite vintage dresses and blouses pre-dating the 1970s feature some sort of back button. After a little over-thinking and some Internet investigative work, I realized why: Women dressed differently before the rise of second wave feminism. As in, they physically got dressed differently.
Designers weren't impractical in assigning back closures, women were just expected to have more helping hands. In 1952, 75 percent of women married by the age of 21, meaning they went from their parents house to their husband's house. There was always someone there to help with the buttons.
The architecture of clothing is a footnote in the history of divided sexes, and this is particularly true with buttons. Even today men's shirts open to the right side, while women's shirts open to the left side. The reasoning, according to historians, is that most people are right-handed and while men often tended to dress themselves, women usually had a family member, or depending on their class, a servant to help them dress. The buttons on women's shirts were designed for someone else (a righty) to fasten.

East Providence player claims Keno prize
CRANSTON — A city resident was one of two recent players to claim significant winnings from a Rhode Island Lottery game.
A gentleman from Riverside won $18,000 playing Keno Plus at Town Pub, 311 Taunton Ave., in city. He wagered $1 on a 7-spot game and won $4,500. However, since he opted to play Keno Plus, and the 4X multiplier came out, his prize turned into $18,000.
He said he was shaking and had the bartender read off the winning numbers to verify. He plans on purchasing a new computer with some of the winnings.
A Coventry woman was thrilled when she scratched $20,000 off of the "Lucky Times 20" Instant Ticket. She plans to pay bills. She purchased the lucky ticket at Cumberland Farms, 785 Tiogue Ave., Coventry.
Twenty-three more top prizes of $20,000 in the "Lucky Times 20" Instant Game remain unclaimed.

My mom always loves to make fun of me for wanting every gadget out there, but the truth is, I actually don't have even a fraction of the things you would see in the store – for example, I don't even own a citrus juicer, which seems like it would be a staple in most kitchens. Centsational Girl is having a link party today all about kitchen gadgets, so I thought I would play along with a shortlist of my most used items (which I expanded to include small appliances):
The Pyrex Family
- For measuring, mixing, and melting, I use my glass Pyrex measuring cups all the time.
- For potlucks, I love the Pyrex Portables.
- For food storage, I have been working on using less plastic baggies and containers and have started using my Pyrex Glass Storage Set almost exclusively.
Oxo Mini Angled Measuring Cup – perfect for measuring small amounts in tablespoons or ounces.
Kitchen Scale – I use this all the time when baking for exact amounts as called for in recipes.
Recipe Flip Book – This photo flip book is where I store my most used recipes. The book stands on the counter for easy reading and the recipes are protected from any flying ingredients by the plastic pages.
Slow Cooker – We are continually finding new slow cooker recipes to add to our dinner rotation. They are good and usually easy to prepare (and cleanup is easy with crock pot liners!) Our slow cooker is Cuisinart's 3.5 qt. programmable version. After a good bit of research, this one came out on top and my mom got it for me for Christmas a couple of years ago. It has certainly lived up to the hype!
Toaster Oven – I have never owned a plain toaster, but I love having a toaster oven for quick reheating or small amounts of food that don't warrant heating the entire oven up.
Mixers – I use both my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer and my hand-held mixer by Oster quite regularly. I love trying out new recipes for family gatherings and our small group and these get the jobs done reliably and quickly ever time – I have never had trouble with either.
These along with my generic wooden spoons, rubber spatulas, Ladles (we tend to make a lot of soups, chilis, etc.), measuring cups/spoons, funnels, sharp knives/scissors (ours happen to be J.A. Henckels), and heavy pots/pans (we have a set by Emeril) along with a rack to store the lids make up my must have and most used list around our house.

Escape to the Lodge at Jackson Village, where you'll enjoy two nights in a queen room, Sundays through Thursdays ($214) or Fridays and Saturdays with Saturday- and Sunday-morning continental breakfast ($252). Visitors also receive homemade cookies each afternoon, a bottle of sparkling cider, and late 1 p.m. checkout.
Jackson Village—named one of the Top Ten Most Romantic Villages in America by Yankee Magazine—is nestled in the White Mountains amid blazing red and gold autumn foliage. Consider the lodge your refuge from the crisp fall breeze as you relax by the crackling fire and enjoy homemade cookies with that special someone.
Snow might not fall yet, but the leaves sure will, and there's no better to place to catch them than Great Glen Trails. Armed with an included guest pass and 50-percent discount on bike rentals, you can pedal along the shady trails admiring the pristine New England forest.
When you want to see the season's splendor from an even higher vantage point, Mt. Washington Auto Road lets you scale a mountain in your car. Your Drive Yourself pass includes access for one driver, a "This Car Climbed Mt. Washington" bumper sticker, and an audio tour CD. Finally, for a taste of October, use your included map for a self-guided tour of Jackson's Return of the Pumpkin People event. For the past 25 years, residents and businesses have created elaborate displays of pumpkin-headed people scattered throughout the town.
There's no glossy substitute for seeing the dazzling colors of autumn in person. Make the most of the year's brightest season with this Escape to the White Mountains.
