I was raised in Lake City and excited to share this beautiful community with others.
Nancy Rigelman purchased this cottage in 2011
The cottage is close to everything and has a beautiful view of Lake Pepin. You can sit on the back porch or on the patio to enjoy the view.
Walking distance to downtown, marina, beach, tennis courts,riverwalk and has a beautiful view of Lake Pepin from patio with fire pit in back yard.
Perfect place for old friends to spend a couple of days catching up. Great Cottage, perfect for a relaxing time. Went to the Eagle Refuge in Wabasha (highly recommend). Bringing my husband here on our anniversary!!
We really loved our stay at the Lake City Cottage. The place is spacious, there is a dedicated bathroom for each bedroom, and we had absolutely everything we needed when we were there. Walking distance to so many great places (try Port 104 for excellent food), and we were even surprised by a clear view of the lake from the backyard. With a fire pit, bean bag toss game, and two very comfortable looking porches to utilize in the summer, we definitely feel like we need to come back.
Charming cottage. Spacious kitchen and nicely decorated. Nancy, the owner, very helpful, Perfect for 2 couples or for two individuals. Close to downtown Lake City.
We had a great time hiking in the area. Many restaurants are within walking distance.
This is a cute cottage in a great town!! The description is right on point. The property is clean and well maintained. We enjoyed meeting Brad and Nancy. They made us feel very at home and provided information on some of their favorite places to visit in the area.
The beautiful back patio at the cottage gives a great view of the gorgeous Lake Pepin! Great place for bird watching! We saw our first Golden Eagle in the tree just behind the house!
We had a wonderful time! Plenty of adventure not far from the cottage; hiking at the state park, riding The Pearl of the Lake paddle boat, and The National Eagle Center in Wabasha. The people in the area are very friendly! The restaurants did not disappoint!
Very relaxing vacation! We will remember our time in Lake City fondly! Thank you Brad and Nancy for your hospitality!
Absolutely adorable cottage! Located a half a block from Lake Pepin with full, unobstructed lake view from the back patio. Also, within very close walking distance to downtown Lake City. The cottage is immaculate, comfortable, and well-equipped with sweetly charming furnishings. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful visit to the Lake Pepin area.
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Lake Pepin Cottage. The cottage itself is a lot roomier than the photos portray. The 4 of us didn't even use the upstairs bedroom or bathroom ( except for our kids to take a bath in the awesome claw foot tub!) We could have easily had another couple stay with us. We really appreciated how well stocked the kitchen and bathrooms were. We really didn't have to bring anything with us except food and beach towels.
The cottage has an awesome view of Lake Pepin and it's only a block away from the little local beach. We were also in walking distance of the Marina, lots of restaurants, a great playground AND on Thursdays, there is a farmers market right in the small parking lot by the little beach.
It was only a short drive to the bigger swimming beach at Hok- Si-La city park ( it's free!). That beach is beautiful and we were the only ones there since it was a week day morning. Also only a few blocks from the cottage is the loading dock for the Pearl of the Lake paddle wheel boat. The kids loved our trip around the lake and the captain even let them steer for a bit!
We had such a nice time and plan on visiting again.
We have bald eagles sitting in the big cotton wood tree that you can watch from the patio in the back yard. The downtown is within walking distance. Only one or two blocks away.
We are surrounded by golf courses, Lake Pepin, Lake City Marina and Frontenac State Park.

Broadband Internet
Why Should You Start Using Broadband Internet?
Technology has certainly changed the lives of millions of people across the globe, making these lives easier and more convenient altogether. Some of these include the appliances that you use in your home, the gadgets which make life entertaining and convenient, and even the simple tools which make it possible for you to use up only a little energy while accomplishing a lot of things. Aside from and above all these simple tools, however, is the powerful and life-changing internet, which definitely has changed the way people live today, making your life different from what it would have been without this stunning creation. One who wishes to use the powerful services that the internet has to offer, then, will benefit a lot of things when he or she subscribes for broadband internet, which is offered by reputable broadband internet service providers. Here's a good read about broadband internet service providers in Manitoba, check it out!
Subscribing for broadband internet will be beneficial for you, first of all, because broadband internet service is faster than any type of internet service you might be using at the moment. People who use the old types of internet services such as the dial up internet service might feel discouraged by how slow everything is, finding that they cannot view some kinds of web content or watch videos comfortably. On the other hand, when one switches to using broadband internet, he or she can forget about slow internet services and be able to enjoy downloading pictures, watching heavy videos, or even playing online games. You can click this link qkstream.com for more great tips!
When a person switches to broadband internet service, he or she will also be able to benefit because this type of internet service does not do anything to disrupt the telephone line. One who uses the dial up internet service might dislike the fact that while he or she is connected to the internet, it is impossible to use the telephone to either make or receive any calls. When one switches to using broadband internet, however, he or she can enjoy the advantage of always having the telephone free even as he or she uses the internet, which is on all the time.
A business owner will certainly benefit when he or she uses broadband internet because when he or she does so, it will be possible to make cheaper calls using VOIP phones and software. If you want to start using a modern telephone system for your business, which definitely will promote your success in the future as well as save you a lot of money, you can be sure that you will benefit when you switch to using broadband internet services. It is clear to see, then, that switching to broadband internet is a marvelous idea, one that will allow you to enjoy many wonderful advantages and benefits in the long run.

There are so many great challenges here and they are all so much fun. But sometimes we just wanna post our layouts and get some love. No additional challenges, no counting layouts, no doing a certain technique just sharing our work.
You may post layouts from other challenges here as well.
So here are the rules:
1. If you sign up, you are saying you will post your layouts and comment on everyone else's.
2. Do Not flood the thread. I consider flooding to be more that five layouts in one post. Also, no back to back posting. In other words, no posting 4 layouts, then immediately posting 5. We want everyone to have fun and not feel overwhelmed trying to comment on 10 or more layouts by one person at a time.
3. Chatting is certainly allowed! But note that most of us regulars don't chat much on here. It's kinda how we are.
To help with not getting overwhelmed I will limit this to 25 players.

New Acne Treatment for Kids, How Does It Work?
Please SHARE with friends and include eMaxHealth in Google Alerts for tomorrow's great stories.
The vast majority of teenagers experience some degree of acne, but this skin disease can affect younger people as well. That's one reason why the American Acne and Rosacea Society has issued new recommendations regarding acne treatment for kids, including infants and elementary school aged children, because not all kids should be treated alike.
Do you know how to treat your child's acne?
Several new studies indicate that acne is not just for teenagers. In fact, according to Lawrence Eichenfield, MD, of Rady's Children's Hospital in San Diego, and his colleagues, more than three-quarters of girls ages 9 and 10 had acne in one study, and 20 percent of newborns have the skin disease as well.
In another new study published in FP Essentials, investigators at San Joaquin General Hospital in California report that both neonatal acne and infantile acne (which starts after the neonatal period) typically develops on the face, scalp, back, and chest and usually goes away spontaneously. If either type of acne does not resolve within a year, children should be evaluated for excessive levels of androgens (male hormones).
According to the new guidelines announced by the American Acne and Rosacea Society, which have been endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, each age group requires a different treatment approach. For example:
- Newborns with acne on the face and upper body should be treated with 2 percent ketoconazole cream. Ketoconazole is associated with side effects that include itching, irritation, dry skin, and stinging. Infants who have significant acne should be checked for tumors, diseases that affect the endocrine system, and sex hormone abnormalities.
- Infants up to age 12 months can be treated with topical antimicrobials or retinoids, noncycline antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), and isotretinoin. Use of all these medications is off-label, meaning they are not indicated for this purpose for this age group. Topical retinoids have been approved for children ages 12 and older, while tretinoin gel 0.05% in particular has approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for children age 10 years and older.
- Among children up to age seven, acne is usually absent, so if it does appear, it suggests an endocrine problem, which should be checked.
- In children up to the age of puberty, the development of acne on the face may be the first sign of this change in life. If the acne is severe, clinicians should check for polycystic ovary syndrome (in females) or other endocrine abnormalities.
Children with mild acne may respond to benzoyl peroxide, which the authors of the guidelines noted "has been shown to be the most widely studied of [over-the-counter] products and has been shown to be one of the most versatile, safe, inexpensive and effective acne therapies." The guidelines are based on an analysis of more than 150 acne-related studies.
Topical benzoyl peroxide should not be used alone, however, and the authors stated that topical antibiotics (e.g., clindamycin, erythromycin) should be added when acne treatment is necessary for more than several weeks. Other treatment recommendations for children included the following:

The Ketterling Group Launches Global Talent Profiling
The Ketterling Group, a nationwide leader in executive recruitment and talent management solutions, has announced a new development in behavioral assessments with the launch of their Global Talent Profiling.
This new advancement in behavioral assessments takes this hiring tool to a new level. Global Talent Profiling provides a much deeper assessment of the candidate and helps predict how a candidate will perform over time. It enables Ketterling Group to identify the candidates who will be productive team members and enhance the success of an organization.
"Many recruiting organizations use assessments to evaluate candidates,"
Global Talent Profiling assesses a candidate's aptitudes, characteristics, on-the-job strengths, and developmental needs. The thoroughness of this type of assessment gives a company confidence that they are identifying the best-qualified candidate.
"Perhaps the most unique feature of this process is that the assessment is performed by our expert behavioral consultant, a former CIA profiler," said Lane. "They are able to review the data and appraise the candidate to identify what type of position they would excel in, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they work as a team player."
Global Talent Profiling is part of a range of comprehensive suite of products that The Ketterling Group uses in evaluating prospective employees and team members. In addition to the company's executive search services, the firm also conducts corporate executive assessments, leadership development consulting, business and leadership coaching, and management consulting.

For Grown-ups Or-chids
An all-ages flower show
We were old pros at planting banana trees in Costa Rica, but when we tried harvesting the fruit in our Palm Beach County backyard, the tree took on the brownish pallor and limp posture of a stalk of hay. For advice, we turned to the Horticultural Society of South Florida, where Executive Director Dave Murbach cheerily helped us administer a few lifesaving techniques (like, uh, giving the plant a lot more water). It is in this spirit of propagating knowledge that the Society brings us the Palm Beach Tropical Flower and Garden Show, the largest event of its sort in the world. Now in its tenth year, it showcases 25,000 square feet of gardens, 130 vendors selling everything from teak furniture to garden trowels, and a butterfly garden. At a designated kids' area, children can plant seeds in takeaway cups. Cooking demonstrations happen every half hour, and the Gene Mattis Orchestra plays swing music on the Meyer Amphitheatre stage. The tropical drink station makes it oh-so-much easier to digest all the botanical information you collect, and the Mai Tais taste better once you know how their cherry and orange garnishes are grown. The show takes place along the Intracoastal Waterway on Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach. It runs Thursday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 561-655-5522 or visit the website, www.palmbeachflowershow.org

Live large; paint large
Painter Chuck Close wasn't always revered on the art scene. Remember in 1961, when he cut up American flags and sewed them into the shape of a mushroom cloud? Yeah, that didn't go over so well. And remember in 1967, when he included a drawing of Bob Dylan exposing himself in his solo exhibition? Campus police at the University of Massachusetts dismantled that thing right quick. Nowadays, though, we're used to his large-scale (we're talkin' nine-foot tall) "mug shots" of famous figures and fellow artists, and he's just the "mayor of Soho" to us. See how he went from exile to establishment in the film Chuck Close, A Portrait in Progress, which shows at the Boca Raton Museum of Art (501 Plaza Real, Boca Raton) at 3 p.m. It's free with museum admission.

The Hilton's With BF's At The Beach
That would be Jason Davis that Paris is chatting up. He seems to be impersonating a beached whale.
Paris and Nicky were spotted and photographed in their skimpy bikinis frolicking and enjoying their vacation. The sisters are apparently there for a Christmas break of sorts.
As you can see – Paris and Nicky both wore itsy-bitsy bikinis and strutted their stuff in the Maui surf. Reportedly, one young fan asked for a photo but was given the brush-off.
We wish them all the best in 2006.

On Thursday, the NBA's New Orleans franchise announced a decision to change their name to the "Pelicans" from the "Hornets". The new name is set to take full effect at the beginning of the 2013-14 season.There is only one problem with this decision: the professional American sports world already has a team who uses the Pelicans moniker. That team is none other than the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the Carolina League, which is the Single-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers.If you believe they are just going to sit still while New Orleans copies their brand name, you have another thing coming. Instead, the club is asking its fans to help re-create its image by including New Orleans-inspired themes. Myrtle Beach details their entire plan in the following press release.
