Very easy to find with GPS. The place was very clean and cute. If you book both rooms it would be a great place for a family to stay.Jessica2017-08-04T00:00:00Z
The space was very clean and the check-in process was very easy. We rented the room last minute and had no issues being accommodated for.Nina2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
Very clean and comfortable!Mary Ann2017-06-23T00:00:00Z
The bed was comfortable and the space was clean and had a kitchen that was available. It was convenient to I-70. We were able to use the garage. We were a little freaked out when another couple came in around midnight without notice. We may have misunderstood the details on the website. The couple was really nice however.Norman2017-07-16T00:00:00Z
Very clean, functional, and update. Easy access to interstate and also quiet location.Christina2017-05-31T00:00:00Z
Kristy was accommodating and communicative. Location was off the beaten path enough to be very quiet, yet a short drive anywhere. The apartment was fantastic. Only caveat is that the shower was less than piping hot. Otherwise excellent overall experience.Dave2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
We were driving through on a West to East road trip and needed a last minute place to stay. Kristy was accommodating and easy to talk to. The house is part of a senior living area and the whole neighborhood was quiet. The room was clean and neat. The place had a washer and dryer and that was perfect for us to clean up on our 3 week trip.Jennifer2017-08-12T00:00:00Z
Perfectly clean, everything worked great. comfortable bed and wonderful large bathroom. Full size refrigerator, comfortable living room all well cared for and ready for our stay.Stephen2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Nice staff, liked my room, breakfast and wine were greatKaren2016-08-12T00:00:00Z
Great experience during out cross country road trip. We wanted to do something special for Valentines and this was the perfect spot. Very elegant and clean. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious! We recommend this spot if you find yourself in the area.Dan and Lindsay2016-02-16T00:00:00Z
Arrived later than expected and the Claremont staff adjusted wonderfully for us. Wine tasting and dinner were excellent.Jim2016-11-12T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay at the Claremont Inn. Our host was amazingly accommodating, breakfast delicious and our overall stay highly recommended. Pleas enjoy!Andrew2016-06-21T00:00:00Z
The Claremont Inn was the perfect spot for my boyfriend and I to stop off on our cross country drive. After days of hiking and driving, the Inn was welcoming and charming. From the beautiful kitchen (that served as a perfect spot for wine tasting before dinner) to the comfortable bedroom, we really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend just requesting dinner and breakfast with your stay, as the food is delicious and it really allows you to relax for the evening!Julianne2016-05-11T00:00:00Z
One of the most luxurious experiences I've had at an airbnb. Harry kindly accommodated my late arrival. A plate of the best cookies in the world waiting in my room upon arrival (there's no way these came from a box), paired perfectly with a cup of hot Earl Grey. Large room, huge bathroom. In the morning, a Pot of coffee waiting outside my door. The breakfast was devine. Eggs that Chef Gordon Ramsey would be proud of. French toast with some sort of berry yogurt (?) in the middle--really I have no idea what it was but my taste buds were seriously happy. Everyone was very friendly. Highly recommended.Gil2015-08-03T00:00:00Z
It was amazing to find Claremont Inn located in a place where we needed a break in our 5,400 mile road trip, but was far from any major destination. The Inn became its own destination with a spacious and comfortable room, private theater, delicious breakfast, and friendly staff. Next time we travel this route, we'll plan to stay here again, and hope to catch a cooking class.Gregory2017-06-12T00:00:00Z
From the first ring of the doorbell, we felt we were treated like their very favorites guests. Beautiful entrance, flowers, exactly like the posted pictures and more. All the rooms were open for a "look/see" and a wonderful room downstairs complete with theater recliners and popcorn for a great relaxing evening. We had dinner reservations with the wine tasting--Absolutely Top Notch. Cookies and refreshments provided in the room, lovely robes, they thought of everything!PAMELA2016-09-20T00:00:00Z

We were on our way thru Kansas, and found this little sweet spot. It was a detour from Denver, but added less than (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) says, about an hour. Beautiful night drive, great place to stay, way worth the detour. Clean, quiet, private, comfortable.Ben2017-07-24T00:00:00Z
Actually,this Is a furnished one-bedroom garden level apt. with kitchen, private entrance, and off-street parking in a VERY cute/charming town (great Mexican restaurant) Very roomy, private, and comfortable, compared to "normal" accommodations. Ryan was a terrific host and sought out ways to make my stay tip-top.David2017-08-13T00:00:00Z
Arrived much later than anticipated due to bad weather and time change. Ryan was there waiting to tell me where to park and welcome me. The space was super clean and had a full kitchen, dining table, TV. It was a very pleasant stay, it was private and quiet and I would stay again if passing through! Ryan was a great host.Michelle2017-07-31T00:00:00Z
Basement apartment was exactly as described. Shower was very nice and got warm quickly. Ryan was very helpful and even let is know that the ceiling height was 6'4" as my husband is quite tall. I actually found it quite spacious despite being a basement. The bed was very comfortable. Keypad access was fantastic as we got in quite late. Coffee maker even had to go cups which was wonderful! Great value for the price!Emily2017-08-04T00:00:00Z
Fantastic stay! The basement is wonderful and extremely comfortable. Hot comfortable shower, coffee complementary, easy in and out! Couldn't ask for anything better.Lindsey2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

This is a charming little gem that's well off the beaten path. The loft itself is a large one bedroom apartment with plenty of room to spread out and a good sized kitchen (which you'll definitely need, given that the nearest restaurants and stores are many miles away). The deck and downstairs patio have great views of the surrounding prairie, and there are no other structures to be seen off the property. Although our only night there was cloudy, I can bet that the stars on a clear night would be phenomenal. Our hosts were truly wonderful - so warm and welcoming, and happy to spend time talking about their unique place. If you're driving through Nebraska, take the time to get away from the interstate to experience this isolated but beautiful region of the Great Plains.Charu2017-06-30T00:00:00Z
Although it was a short stay this was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and unplug from the world. The loft is completely secluded and is surrounded by beautiful scenery and wildlife. Be sure to grab some groceries as there is a full kitchen and places can close early in the surrounding area. Also be sure to take a second and enjoy the night sky it's amazing!Liliana2017-02-13T00:00:00Z
Best place ever!!!. I would recommend this place with my eyes closed. The attention and kindness provided by the hosts was the best I have received from any Airbnb so far. In addition to that, there is plenty to discover at this amazing location, including but not limited, wild deer and rabbits, view of the Milky way galaxy, beautiful vineyard, lakes, fish hatchery, etc.matias2017-06-25T00:00:00Z
Wonderful hosts and a beautiful place to visit when you want someplace unique, charming and comfortable! Loved the view, the vineyard, the garden and patio, the original paintings, and the wine, too! It's a bit out of the way, but we worth the trip!Karen2017-08-29T00:00:00Z
Carol and Hal were wonderful hosts! Very friendly and personable and have created an amazing place. The loft is very clean and spacious. I hope to return soonDavid2017-07-28T00:00:00Z
We found Carol and Hal's loft on a last minute road trip from the West Coast to Wisconsin - and boy, did we luck out! We weren't sure what to expect, but the entire experience blew us away. The winery is in a remote location, where neither of our phones worked - but to me that was a huge advantage. As you drive up, you see a gorgeous winery surrounded by nothing but rolling beautiful farmland. We were greeted by not only Carol, but all of their winery guests as well! We immediately got a bottle of wine and walked around their land, exploring the creek, and taking in the beautiful scenery with our dog (who was able to run off leash and was warmly welcomed by the other guests dogs). We were then sent to the nearest town (about a 15 min drive) and had a great, inexpensive dinner of burgers and fries. We drove back to the loft, sat on the porch with Carol and Hal, had great conversation and watched the sun set over the vineyard. The loft itself is cozy and very comfortable. Not to mention the view of the milky way and constellations that lit up the sky at night :) We had a great time, and hope to be back for another visit!Lauren2017-05-29T00:00:00Z
We are so happy we found this place on AirBnB on our way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Denver! We have never seen our boy Jax, 10 month old German Shepherd, so happy to run around chasing birds, rabbits, and even the doe! We loved the loft as it is so quaint, clean, and absolutely perfect! Most importantly, we loved getting to know the hosts and share so many wonderful stories! We would never have thought Nebraska would be this beautiful! Thank you so much for accepting our last minute request!Nika2017-07-06T00:00:00Z
Great place for us to stay and enjoy the state park. Easy check in and out with very friendly hosts. Couldn't ask for a better stay.Matthew2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

This was such an amazing place to stay on our trip out west. Everything was kept perfectly clean and it was a nice homey feel. If I could give this house 6 stars I would. Judy was amazing at keeping in contact and was always friendly. Highly recommend!Ian2017-08-03T00:00:00Z
Beautiful place. My son and I felt a little spoiled in a two-bedroom two bath duplex. The garage was a wonderful surprise in this freezing weather. Decorations were tasteful. Everything was brand new and worked. Judy was thoughtful and left us kisses which we gobbled up. Hope they weren't meant for the next person as well. Real convenient to the highway. Walmart on the way if you want to grab something.Bruce2016-12-17T00:00:00Z
Amazing place to stay at! Very clean and homey!Herbert2017-08-17T00:00:00Z
Judy thought of everything - right down to the snacks, fresh fruit, and sodas to hold us over after getting in late. It was nice to be able to pull ones car in from the elements. Being able to use a washer and dryer at the end of the day was an bonus. Very nice accommodations and would stay there again it the opportunity presented itself.Tim2017-07-29T00:00:00Z
Judy's place was a great way to stay overnight in Kansas on my way to Colorado. It was so clean and homey. There were chocolates in the room, and coffee and pastries were set out. I 100% recommend!Krista2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Clean, convenient house right off of I-70. Kristy answered my questions quickly (we booked very last minute) before booking and was helpful in making sure check-in was smooth. I was traveling with my family so it made sense to rent both rooms for the privacy and it was exactly what we needed.Jordan2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

So I can't find the fedora or trenchcoat for the Cool trainer... which means I'm probabaly going as Silver. If that doesn't work, I'll have to go as my OC Hadassah...in other words, myself :P

As I am using these prompts to help me flesh out a fanfic I am writing, They may be a little long. Just to warn you.
I figured starting with the Beginning prompt would be helpful, and fun. My continuity will almost always be the show, but I'll be throwing in tidbits from the manga every now in then. Sorry, folks, Silver may not be making an appearance, despite his badassery.
Speaking of which, this particular prompt is rated G, and takes place shortly after the Persian story in How I Became a Pokémon Card. Yeah, I consider that canon to the anime. Hush. :P
I've also had people ask wht the girls dislike her. The answer? They simply do. Considering I've been under the same thing as Seren in this one, I know all too well that little kids can be jerks.

Used these for a snack/inspiration to high school volleyball team. Loved that I could customize so much of it, but the background volleyball verbage disappeared almost with the colors I chose. It did not look that way on computer and there wasn't any way to change the volleyball verbage color in the background.

A few sentences looking at this week's matchups.
California (4-1, 2-0) at Arizona (4-2, 2-1): Can California maintain its national ranking, something that's been hard for Pac-10 teams outside of Heritage Hall to do? Will Cal tailback Jahvid Best return from a dislocated elbow to challenge Arizona's vulnerable run defense? And who's the Bears quarterback anyway? So there are a lot of questions here. The Bears have won four of five in the series, including last year 45-27 victory that featured Wildcats quarterback Willie Tuitama setting a school record with 61 pass attempts.
USC (4-1, 2-1) at Washington State (1-6, 0-4): This looks like potentially the biggest mismatch among BCS conference teams this season, considering that Washington State has lost four conference games by an average score of 56-8. The Cougars cause may be helped by the return of quarterback Kevin Lopina from a back injury. The Trojans offense mostly sputtered last weekend against Arizona State, causing some to wonder if quarterback Mark Sanchez's knee is giving him trouble. USC has won 32 of the last 36 games in the series, including a 47-14 romp last year in which the Trojans outgained the Cougars 509 yards to 247.
Stanford (4-3, 3-1) at UCLA (2-4, 1-2): If Stanford wins, it almost certainly will earn bowl eligibility. If UCLA wins, it creates an opening for it to get out of the bottom third of the conference. Here's a guess the game won't in any way resemble UCLA's 45-17 blowout win last year, which ruined Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh's debut. For one, the Bruins don't have quarterback Ben Olson, who's injured. He threw five TD passes last year as the Bruins piled up 624 total yards, more than twice what they are averaging per game this year (297). Meanwhile, Stanford only rushed for 52 yards, less than a third of what the Cardinal averages on the ground in 2008 (184) and less than a third of what the Bruins give up on the ground (171).
Oregon State (3-3, 2-1) at Washington (0-5, 0-3): Oregon State is going for its fifth consecutive win in a series the Huskies used to own -- see a 58-30-4 all-time advantage. The Beavers probably would like to see quarterback Lyle Moevao dominate a terrible Washington pass defense that has given up 17 TD passes -- four more than any other conference team -- and is allowing opponents to complete 71 percent of their throws (eight conference teams are holding opponents to 59 percent or less completion rates). Or the Beavers could just hand the ball to Jacquizz Rodgers, the Pac-10's leading rusher, because the Huskies yield 233 yards on the ground per game.
Arizona State (2-4, 1-2) open date: Next game Oct. 25 vs. Oregon.
Oregon (5-2, 3-1) open date: Next game Oct. 25 at Arizona State.

Danone has unveiled a manifesto to decouple its agendas for growth and efficiency. It is bringing together horizontal collaboration and vertical delegation to create the next orbit in its journey to a food revolution.
Cut through all the management gobbledygook and it reads: growth is slowing, so we need big cost savings to preserve our margins. Things should perk up once our pricey acquisition in a chichi category kicks in, but until then it's all about cuts.
Investors gave the company no reward for its promises, and shares were flat from yesterday. They're right to be wary, as Danone SA seems particularly exposed to the challenges facing all of the big food groups.
The company said Wednesday its profit expansion would slow this year, with the first few months being particularly difficult. It hasn't given a forecast for organic growth for 2017, saying only that it expected "moderate" top line growth. But it is targeting earnings per share growth of more than 5 percent. That's down from 2016's 9.3 percent, and the lowest in three years. The company aims to save 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) by 2020.
Danone isn't the only big group to suffer from falling food prices in developed regions and emerging markets running out of steam.
In the face of sluggish consumers, the big groups have turned their attention to bolstering margins -- think Unilever NV's zero-based budgeting. Danone should probably have trimmed its expenses sooner.
Anemic markets are also in part why rival Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc has paid $16.6 billion for Mead Johnson, following on from Danone's own $10 billion purchase of WhiteWave last year, and why Unilever is adding grooming brands such as Dollar Shave Club. Whether through desperation or enchantment with millennial-friendly categories, M&A's a way to turbo-charge the top line.
Ulf Mark Schneider, the new chief executive of Nestle, may on Thursday drop the company's long-held organic sales growth target of 5-6 percent. That would wisely free him from a rigid and unrealistic constraint as he prepares to make changes at the Swiss consumer giant. He could also accelerate cost reduction plans to fatten margins.
Danone, meanwhile, has faltered as it deals with the new reality. Its revamp of its power brand Activia hasn't worked. In fact, the company said on Wednesday that a reboot won't deliver results until next year. And it faces a squeeze from an increase in dairy prices.
The WhiteWave acquisition is due to complete in the first quarter, and should reinvigorate sales growth. But, as Gadfly has argued, the mis-steps with Activia don't exactly instill confidence in Danone's ability to sprinkle its magic dust on the maker of dairy alternatives.
Buying WhiteWave also meant Danone skipped Mead Johnson. That's now agreed to a takeover by Reckitt Benckiser. Even if the merits of that deal are questionable, Reckitt is likely to be a formidable competitor in the infant nutrition business.
Shares in Danone are flat on the year. They trade at a deserved discount to both Nestle and Unilever. With the challenges ahead, and the restructuring potential at rivals, it's hard to see it narrowing that gap.
One of Danone's favorite slides at its results presentation was a tree, illustrating the revolution in consumer habits. WhiteWave should be at the forefront of this, and Danone needs to make it work. If it doesn't, that tree isn't going to bloom any time soon.

Day four in the Rockies and it keeps getting better.
Our fourth day started with us driving to Brian's house to get him then on to Boulder for the day. We arrived at Redstone Meadery around 11:00 for a meeting with the Chairman of the Mead, David Myers. If you have never had the chance to try mead you really need to make that a mission in life. The oldest known fermented beverage it is truly a taste from the distant past. The great folks at Redstone have a big variety of meads to sample so if you are looking for a place to get your mead fix or just try some for the first time I would highly recommend that you come visit our friends at Redstone. After picking up some of their wonderful Black Raspberry Reserve we headed to Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery for lunch. While we where there we got to chat with one of their brewers, Jason Stengl. As with all other brewers we have met on this trip he greeted us warmly and even bought us a round from his newest keg of IPA. We headed over to Avery Brewing for our meeting with the President and Brewmaster, Adam Avery. When we arrived there was a tour bus right in front of the brewery and there where about 50 people standing around drinking samples of Avery's fine products. Adam was busy giving tours to the bus tour so we just made our selves at home until the bus departed. After that we got a chance to sit down and interview Adam for Basic Brewing Radio. We had a nice chat about his business and the brewing business in general. Then it was back to the Avery tasting room for more of their finest. They had two "Oaked" beers on tap, Oaked Salvation and Oaked Reverand and both were wonderful. We asked the folks at Avery where we should go for dinner and they suggested a place called Rumba. Since we have been drinking beer pretty much all day we figured it would be a nice change from pub fare and it certainly was. I got one of my favorites the rare Ahi Tuna and it was as wonderful as it looks. We headed back Denver but we had one more stop to make. We had been told on Monday by Dale of Oskar's Blues that the best beer store around was Superior Liquor just south of Boulder. We when in and asked if they had any of the new double IPA, Gordon, from Oskar's Blues. The guy told me flat out that they did not have any, quite discouraging since that is why we had stopped. Well I still wanted to pick up a few choice brews that I cannot get back home so we went looking around. They did have a great selection of beers and I was filling 1 of my two shopping carts when Brian comes out of the back of the store carrying a case of Gordon. I was shocked since the guy just told me they didn't have any. Brian said there was plenty of Gordon in the back so I asked him to go grab me a couple more cases. When I was checking out the guy at the store told me that he thinks that the beer from Oskar's is good but he does not like the fact that the can the beer is in imparts a metallic taste to the beer. I could not believe that this guy was saying this, the folks at Oskars need to pay this guy a special visit and explain to him why that is impossible. All the cans used by Oskars are lined with a thin plastic film so the beer never touches the aluminum of the can. This guy is just spouting the same lame mis-information about canned beer and one trip to Oskars Blues would set him straight.

Boyd Martin Ranked 11th Sexiest 2012 Olympic Athlete
Is there a wonder why US Olympian equestrian rider Boyd Martin happens to receive the rank of the 11th sexiest Olympic athlete in 2012? Probably not! Here is an individual that has struggled to maintain composure and inner strength in order to even secure a place in the top rankings at all. The story of Boyd Martin is a compelling one. However, it doesn't start in July of 2012 but actually starts much earlier when Mr. Martin was a child belonging to two former Olympians by the name of Toa Martin, his mother, and Ross Martin, his father.
In the Beginning
Toa Martin was a mother who understood what it meant to struggle in order to reach your dreams. This is something she knew quite well as a child because she did so in order to become one of the best speed skaters a person would ever come to know in the 1968 Olympics. This can also be said for Boyd Martin's father Ross Martin who also understood what it meant to be a contender and to do everything possible in order to reach your dreams. One of his dreams was to become part of the Australia cross-country skiing team in 1968.
The determination, commitment, and sheer ability to overcome obstacles had not only been instilled in their lives, the mother and father of Boyd Martin, but also in the life of the younger Martin who would go on to follow his dreams and ambitions. Although life did provide a number of struggles and obstacles for Boyd Martin, he never withered and always stayed focused on what his main objectives and goals were. This would lead him to become the individual that was present at the 2012 Olympics in London.
Tragedy and Obstacles Do Not Stop Boyd Martin
From an early life to an Olympian, Mr. Martin would surely have to deal with a number of different obstacles. However, the obstacles that were lying ahead were not even something key would be able to consider. The 14 months leading up to competitions in the 2012 London Olympics, Martin would be faced with a number of tragedies and obstacles that would make most people simply give up. However, Mr. Martin is an individual that simply refused to give in to these tragedies and misfortune and push forward because of his commitment into termination that was instilled in him as a young child.
From the stable fire at the True Prospect Farm in Eastern PA, where Martin lost six horses including Phantom Pursuit and Summer Breeze, to the death of his father who was killed in Australia while cycling, Mr. Martin has done and exciting and relentless job at being an energetic competitor at the 2012 London Olympics in spite of the devastation in his personal life. So, it's not only that Boyd Martin has been ranked 11th sexiest 2012 Olympic athlete – it's that in spite of all of his indifferences, he continues to be just a handsome 32-year-old that simply loves life.

text: Economic anxiety is a large issue right now. When individuals really don't possess a grip on their money, they are likely to experience difficulties inside additional parts of their day-to-day lives. For example, people that have difficulties economically often have dissatisfied matrimony. The easiest way for someone to enhance all of their day-to-day lives is to find their money under control. Luckily, it's not challenging however it may need some devotion. The first step is always to keep track of outgoing cash and make up a spending plan. Adopting a spending plan need to help somebody spend less. Whether it does not, it will be necessary to cut unneeded expenditures. If at all possible, a person will put some funds in the financial institution to handle emergencies. Or else, online payday loans can be quite a viable temporary solution. It's important to not become dependent on payday loans since over time, they may be expensive. By reduction of financial debt and organizing inbound and spending cash, it can get easier to gain fiscal power. In some instances, it will be needed to acquire a better work or maybe a second work to get more cash into the home. Although this might not be a thrilling solution, it should assist a household tackle their income concerns and still have the capacity to take pleasure in their lifestyles.

January 19, 2006 6:55 pm
Temasek, Singapore's state investment agency, is closing in on the $1.7bn acquisition of a controlling stake in the business empire of Thaksin Shinawatra, the Thai prime minister, with the country's central bank governor confirming that a takeover deal was imminent.
While Thais have been mesmerised by rumours that the prime minister's family was seeking to sell part of its vast telecoms empire, Pridiyathorn Devakula, the central bank governor, on Thursday unexpectedly referred to the upcoming sale of the Shin Corp stake, attributing recent baht appreciation to foreign currency inflows linked to the deal.
The Thai baht hit 39.2 to the dollar, a 9½-month high, before slipping back to 39.4 to the dollar on Thursday.
Mr Pridiyathorn told Thai reporters that the baht strength was due to "an inflow of funds for a Shin share deal", although he said he had no details regarding the transaction – not even the buyer.
People close to the situation said the sale of the Shinawatra family's 49.6 per cent stake in Shin Corp was likely to take place through a series of share swaps involving Temasek-controlled companies. They said the final price for the stake in the conglomerate would be determined just before the execution of the deal but added that it was likely to be below Bt50 a share.
They added the deal, which had been denied repeatedly by Shin Corp, would probably be carried out over the next few days by three Thai brokers, including Phatra Securities. However, it is understood that while the talks are very advanced, a final agreement has not yet been signed and the deal could still collapse.
Shares in Shin Corp closed at Bt46.25, valuing the family stake at Bt68bn ($1.7bn).
A share swap would allow the Shinawatra family to diversify its holdings away from Thailand while at the same time cementing the relationship with Singapore.
Analysts said Singapore Telecom was the most likely Temasek company to swap shares with the family as it is in the same industry as Advanced Info Service –Thailand's largest mobile phone business.
People close to the deal said a Thai company or agency would probably partner Temasek, helping Mr Thaksin defuse criticism that his family was selling a strategically important Thai business to foreigners.
Under Thai law, Temasek would also be unable to buy Shin's 51 per cent stake in Thai Air Asia since Malaysia's Air Asia already holds 49 per cent in the airline, the maximum foreign ownership limit allowed in a Thai air carrier.

Andrew Gray, 1st Lord Gray
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Andrew Gray, 1st Lord Gray (c. 1390–1469) was a Scottish nobleman, politician and diplomat. He was succeeded to the title by his grandson.[1]
He was the only son of Sir Andrew Gray (d. 1445) of Fowlis, Perthshire, by his first wife Janet, daughter of Sir Roger de Mortimer, whom he married in 1377.[2]
In 1424 he was accepted by the English government as one of the hostages for the payment of the ransom of James I of Scotland, apparently in place of his father, whose estate was estimated at the time as being worth six hundred merks annually. His father presented a letter to the English government, in which the hostage is said to be his only son and heir, promising fidelity on behalf of his son, and also that he would not disinherit him on account of his acting as a hostage. He was sent to Pontefract Castle, and afterwards committed to the Tower of London, where he remained until 1427, when he was exchanged for Malcolm Fleming, son of the laird of Cumbernauld.[3]
In 1436, he accompanied Princess Margaret, daughter of James I, to France, for her marriage to the Dauphin Louis. In 1449 he was appointed part of a committee of the Estates to examine previous acts of Parliament and general councils, and report to Parliament on their existing validity. On various occasions between 1449 and 1460 he was employed as one of the Scottish ambassadors to negotiate treaties of peace with England, and appointed as a general conservator of these treaties. He briefly acted as a Warden of the Marches.
In 1451, along with the abbot of Melrose Abbey, he received a safe-conduct to allow him to make a pilgrimage to Canterbury, and in 1452 he became Master of the Household to James II.
On 26 August that year he was granted permission to build a castle on any part of his lands, and he built Castle Huntly on his estate of Longforgan in the carse of Gowrie (not to be confused with the older Huntly Castle, in Aberdeenshire). This castle, long the residence of the family, was sold to the Earl of Strathmore in 1615, and the name changed to Castle Lyon. In 1777, it was repurchased by George Paterson, who married Anne Gray, daughter of the 11th Lord Gray, and restored the original name.
In 1455, he was one of the nobles who secured the forfeiture of the Earl of Douglas. In the following year, the abbot of Scone sued him for paying the dues of Inchmartin in bad grain. He took an active part in parliamentary work, and in 1464 was appointed one of the lords auditors for hearing and determining civil causes. He accompanied James III to Berwick, where he had the authority of Parliament to ratify the truce with England being negotiated at Newcastle.
He died in 1469, probably towards the end of the year; he is mentioned as deceased in a document of 20 January 1469-70.
He married, on 31 August 1418, Elizabeth Wemyss, the eldest daughter of Sir John Wemyss of Wemyss and Reres, with whom it was stipulated he should receive as dowry a £30 land in Strathardle, Perthshire. This condition was not observed, and gave rise to litigation at a later date. His wife survived him.
They had two sons and two daughters. The elder son, Sir Patrick Gray of Kineff, predeceased his father. He had married Anabella Forbes, daughter of Alexander Forbes, 1st Lord Forbes, and had one son, who became Andrew Gray, 2nd Lord Gray. The other three children were the younger son Andrew, and daughters Margaret (married Robert, Lord Lyle) and Christian (married James Chrighton of Strathurd).

Toothless bank robber needed dentures
A woman who appeared to not have any teeth in surveillance photos from a US bank robbery has confessed, apologised and told police she planned the heist because she needed the money for dentures.
Evelyn Marie Fuller, 49, of Carmichaels, is the Greene County Jail unable to post bond on bank robbery and other charges filed yesterdat by police in Waynesburg, western Pennsylvania, where she allegedly robbed the First National Bank on January 20.
Arresting Officer Tom Ankrom said Fuller explained her motives when she confessed to the crime.
"During her confession, she stated she wanted to use the money to pay for dentures she was unable to get through welfare until next year," Ankrom said.
Police distributed a surveillance photo of the robber, who appeared to be toothless, and an unnamed witness came to police and told them he had loaned Fuller the coat the suspect was seen wearing in the picture. The man told police Fuller returned the coat because the zipper didn't work, and police said it matched one the robber's wearing in the picture.
At her arraignment, Fuller told a district judge she has mental health problems and lives on disability benefits, the Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pennsylvania, said.
After her arraignment, Fuller told a reporter, "I'm very sorry for what I did and I know God is going to punish me for it," before explaining that her pastor told her to tell the truth about what she did.

Range got a rapid start with an opening stand of 41 between Garvin Roberts (31) and Charlie Chan (5).
But they then needed at least one major innings from the top order if they were to post a reasonable target. However, it was not to be and West pegged away with some economic and penetrative bowling.
The crucial breakthrough came with the wicket of Aussie Paul Munro after spinner Sully Khan's first ball. Khan proceeded to play a major role with 3-29 in 12 overs, removing the Range middle order.
Munro (16), Jon Edwards (24), Mike Fenton (11), Zak Abushal (12) and Sabtain Baig (11) all reached double figures but did not take advantage of their starts.
West skipper Arfan Hussain (2-36) received great backing from Najeeb Ahmed with 3-21 as Range fell in the 45th over for a modest 139.
West got the start they needed as Dave Johnson (36) and Najeeb Ahmed (27) put on 73.
But they were made to graft all the way following Zak Abushal's first seven overs which were all maidens at the beginning of the innings.
Rob Slater added 19 before Fohan Zafar weighed-in with 4-44 to give Range a glimmer of hope.
But West were able to bat well down the order and Arfan Hussain (15) and Mike Lennon (10 not out) steered them home in the 44th over.
Range seconds exacted some revenge for the defeat of their first team as they beat South West by six runs in a real thriller.
Range made a solid start with skipper Bill Chaplin and Paul Lawson putting on an opening stand of 50.
Mo Patel, 14, and Shahid Ahmed, 18, then rallied the tail to take Range to 149.
Pete Garvey then bowled superbly, taking 4-58 to have West rocking on 65-7. Only Neil Cusick (13) and Steve Berry reached double figures before West skipper Graham Turner (48) almost rallied sufficiently to prevent a defeat.

It should be no surprise that their long-time friendship and professional dealings has been peppered with jokes, big moves, and more than a few got-your-back moments. After all, Mammoth chairman Rusty Gregory and former California Ski Industries Association executive director Bob Roberts bonded over a $6,000 bar tab that, to this day, neither of their then-bosses may have realized was pushed through.
It was in London, where the two were at the Daily Mail Ski Show (then a massive event), and they had none other than Sir Richard Branson on the hook, ready to partner to send gobs of British ski enthusiasts to California.
"I was buying stuff from Napoleon's day, literally. I knew I had spent too much when they awarded me a certificate and took my picture at the end of the night. I spent $6,000. Not a chance the McCoys would reimburse me for alcohol, much less at that price. Bob understood the import of it all. We knew we were kindred spirits," says Gregory.
Today, with Roberts "repotted" (he prefers that over "retired") and Gregory leaning toward that time, the two still share regular phone calls and meet-ups to talk business, and still pepper each talk with laughs. We asked them to sit down and think back—and ahead—on the industry they love.
MM: To start, I want to know the moment you knew this industry was right for you. That moment when you thought, "This is where I belong and this is where I need to be."
BOB ROBERTS: Oh boy, you're asking about ancient history here. It was back in 1969 when I had moved to Mount Shasta and I owned a restaurant there. A gentleman walked in who happened to be the manager of Mount Shasta Ski Bowl, and he said, "Bob, would you like to come up and run the area for the last couple of months?" I felt like Sophia Loren had just walked into my restaurant. I mean, it was absolutely mind-boggling. And it all started there.
RUSTY GREGORY: It may sound trite, but I moved to Mammoth on the way to law school, and put my acceptance offer off just for a year, so I could learn how to ski. I'd skied a few times in college, and I just wanted to live that life for a year. After, gosh, about three or four weeks, I realized I was just an out-of-towner, and I was never going to be a local unless I got a job here. So I got a job as a lift operator. The first day I had a blast. Everyone was happy and I was part of that, and I realized that the probability of returning to law school would be diminishing on a daily basis. In fact, I never went back.
MM: I think it takes a special kind of person to not just survive but thrive in this industry. Do you agree? And what are the most important traits one needs?
RUSTY: At least here in Mammoth, you have to love uncertainty. You have to be able to wake up in the morning and appreciate nine feet of new snow, all of which you have to shovel off your driveway. And yet somehow you have to appreciate, and I really mean it, you have to appreciate that Mother Nature owns the place and you just rent it. If deep down you don't really like the changes she throws your way, this is not the right business to be in.
BOB It's always a bit of a crapshoot as to what Mother Nature is going to do to you. But you've got to be tenacious. It requires patience and tenacity to run a mountain. You've got to have a pretty strong sense of humor, too, just to sort of roll with a lot of the various punches Mother Nature and the general public will throw at you.
MM: Through the years, did either of your have a mentor? Who was it and what did they do for you?
BOB: I had a pantheon of mentors. If I have to distill it down to the ski industry, it has to be three. Luigi Foeger, who came up in the '70s because we were trying to expand. He came on a day when it was blowing 60 mile an hour and we had all our equipment out because we didn't have a place to store things. He looked around and he said, "Bob, you're not in the ski business. You're in the equipment repair business." Out of that we became very good friends, and for the next 20 years he taught me a whole lot about reading a mountain and running a ski area.
Another was Nick Bedami, who came along in about '76. Nick introduced me to high stakes poker with both the Forest Service and the various folks in Washington. He was a wheeler and dealer. I learned a great deal about business in the real world and politics from Nick. [Ed. note: Badami went on to own and run Park City, making it the home to World Cup racing and the U.S. Ski Team.]
And obviously—and probably the same for Rusty—Dave McCoy [Mammoth founder] was just a genius for me. If we had an operations problem, he had the patience of Job to just listen and make suggestions. It was fabulous.
RUSTY: I had countless mentors. In the beginning it was those people of all ages who had been in Mammoth for a year or for 30 years, that knew how to live the life and enjoy the mountains every day, which did not just mean great powder skiing. It meant enjoying the whole experience.
My most obvious and memorable, though, was Dave McCoy, whom I met while I was working on Chair 16 at Mammoth as a lift operator. You know, it's questionable what kind of chairman and CEO I am, but I was a good lift operator. I was a fairly entertaining fellow at the bottom of chairs, and I met this attractive middle-aged couple that skied up onto my lift. I said something completely inappropriate to this guy's wife, but I was friendly—very friendly! I was told by the people behind them that the couple was Dave McCoy and his wife, Roma. It took me 38 years to recover from that, I think.
Dave was my mentor because he really knew how to do that. He would walk around and say to people, "God, isn't it a great day?" It could be blowing 180 miles an hour and raining at the same time. And I realized after some years that he wasn't kidding: he really thought it was great. He thought that kind of big Mother Nature experience was what skiing was all about. He infused that in the company and in me, and I had a low enough IQ to believe it, and still do.
MM: We talked about when you realized the industry was right for you. Can you think of a pivotal career moment? A time when things shifted for you in a way that surprised, delighted, or scared you?
RUSTY: For me it was the first time I had a major disagreement with Dave McCoy. And it was pivotal because I survived it, and also learned a lot about Dave and about leadership. Bob, you will remember this. We had built two lifts at Mammoth with Jan Kunczynski that were very innovative lifts. One was called the QMC, a quad monocable tram that was built over at June Mountain shortly after we bought June in the 1980s. Another was the People Mover, we called it, which was sort of Mammoth's version of the Chicago L Train, except it was a little less reliable. It ran from the main lodge all the way down to Chair 2, with four stops.
For a variety of reasons, the lifts were difficult to run safely on an ongoing basis, and at one point they had not run for some years. The Forest Service was putting pressure on me to take them down if we were not going to run them. The Forest Service didn't have the guts to tell Dave McCoy that to his face, and Gary McCoy and I didn't, either. So I sat down with Dave and he went over with me … the virtues of those two lifts and that we could just live with them.
He left on a trip to some place, maybe Europe with Doppelmayr. So while he was gone, we began the process of taking out the lifts. When he left, he basically said to me, "I completely disagree with your view that we should take the lifts out." But between the lines he gave me the confidence that I should do what I felt was right. So, the People Mover was gone when he got back, and he was very upset.
It never affected my employment, but it was a pivotal moment. I realized that what Dave needed at that time was someone who was less impressed with his legendary persona and more focused on giving him an honest assessment of the world. It was a change in our relationship. I still get a little sweaty when I think about it. Dave was and is a very powerful guy in many ways.
BOB: One pivotal moment for me happened on Oct. 29, 1971. We were just about ready to open for the season, and I got a call from a young kid I had living up in the lodge. He said, "Bob. The lodge is on fire." It burned to the ground.
I was just incredulous. I thought, "We are ready to go here, and I have no lodge." The really amazing thing was the way the whole town turned out. We had everyone under the sun help us rebuild. This was before all the environmental rules that absolutely would have stymied us for two years. We could do that kind of thing in that era. … almost everybody in town pitched in in some way, and in 68 days, we opened. Understanding that hey, there's an incredible importance and resilience in your community, that was a pivotal moment.
Another was, and Rusty you were there, when we had dinner with Richard Branson. We had gotten a grant to rebuild our international markets after a drought. Now, we never really had international markets, but … we got the grant anyway, about $440,000.
We knew the biggest market was in the U.K. So we went over to London for the Daily Mail Ski Show. But we couldn't get an appointment with anybody. We had an event down in Pickadilly and all these swells with their bespoke suits wouldn't talk to us, but they drank our liquor and ate our food.
So I walk up to this guy in a sweater, and he says, "Hi, I'm Richard Branson, and I love to ski at Mammoth!" We ended up having dinner—and listen, having dinner with Richard Branson is like having dinner with Thomas Jefferson. He can talk knowledgably about so many subjects. Finally, somewhere about the main course, he says, "Look, Bob, I'll put up 25,000 quid and you put up 25,000 quid and let's see how we do."
Well, I didn't even know what a quid was, but you know, if you are in that kind of a poker game, it had to be less than the $440,000 we had at stake. So, that started it. And by the time we got the dessert, I said, "Hey, we'd love to have you as a speaker back home." He said, "Brilliant! Spot on! I'll do that. But we're in a big trial with British Air, so if I'm in the dock I won't come." He came, and out of that, by the time we were in high gear, we were doing about 9,000 guests a winter from Britain.
MM: You two have so much experience. If you could tel your younger self something, what would it be?
RUSTY: There are a lot of things someone should have told my younger self. But you know, it's something Dave McCoy did tell me: in the end, it's about the people. As pretty as we think Mammoth is, everybody in the business has green trees, white snow, and blue skies. What matters is how you treat your people. How you treat your guests, your employees, and your investors in the company. And at the end of the day, everybody in town has an investment in this, and it's about your relationship with all of them. I know that now, and I learned it sometimes the hard way. But that's the thing I would like stamped on my forehead if I was going to start over again.
BOB: I would probably say that patience is power, and by and large, tenacity will serve you better than intelligence.
MM: In that vein, is there anyone either of your want to apologize to?
RUSTY: There were a lot of people who were affected by my young and brash style of management when I first moved into a position of some authority on the mountain. I was a finance guy, but my job was human resource director, which is a little like letting someone with a match into the gasoline factory. I came in and thought my job was to cut budgets, and you know, a lot of people felt the impact of the misplaced priorities of my earlier days. I hope I've made up for that.
BOB: We had a sophisticated marketing system back at Shasta. Basically, I'd get up in the morning and call the guys on the mountain to get the report on how good or bad it could be. Then I would get on my phone with a cup of coffee and make calls to all the radio stations around the area. The weather often changed by the time I was done babbling on the air, and there were an awful lot of skiers who would drive about an hour-and-a-half based on my reports and who were really unhappy. I apologize to those guys.
MM: You were only doing the best you could do, though.
BOB: My wife found it amusing.
MM: Now, looking forward, who do you see as the person to watch in the industry?
BOB: I've got three. Kevin Mitchell of Homewood—as an operator he is really impressive. Amy Ohran at Boreal—she's very talented and has a tremendous business sense. She's no-nonsense and knows how to run a business. And of course the third is a guy Rusty knows very well, [Mammoth chief administrative officer] Ron Cohen. I think Ron is one of the brightest guys in our industry, period.
RUSTY: Ron is a very smart guy who is passionate about the business.
There are a lot of up and comers, and—this will seem like an odd comment—but the guy I'm most interested to see what he will do next is Rob Katz. He's not that young anymore, but he's certainly still a comer. Some people think of Vail as the Evil Empire, but if you look at what Rob has done to revolutionize the industry (because a lot of us are following in bits and pieces what he is doing), I think it will be very interesting to see what he does next. What he does might be the most important thing that happens in the industry in years to come.
BOB: I would echo that.
MM: Can you share something interesting about one another?
RUSTY: I just want to go on the record that Bob has the bushiest eyebrows I have ever seen.
BOB: I inherited them from Dukakis.

Tom Hicks, Looking for Some Positive Press, Throws Another Log on the Fire
Let's end our broadcast day with another Tom Hicks item, shall we? Because it's a fascinating one concerning, of course, Hicks' ownership of Liverpool FC and the mess he's made of it by calling out chief executive Rick Parry (who is not happy t'all, mate) and co-owner George Gillett. But more to the point, Charles Sale of the Daily Mail in the U.K. writes this afternoon that Hicks is about to ramp up his PR machine in order to emerge from this disaster looking like the good guy. Writes Sale, not only does Hicks have a London PR doing his Liverpool bidding, but he also has, of course, the Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers and American Airlines Center's media departments at his disposal as well. And now, it looks like, Hicks is close to adding another top to the spin department:
The Hicks camp have confirmed there are plans to approach London PR giants Freud Communications, whose major clients include Sony, Nike, Pepsi, Volkswagen, Nestle and London 2012 — a sure sign that Hicks, criticised by his Liverpool opponents Rick Parry and David Moores for washing the club's dirty linen in public, intends continuing with a very public strategy as part of his Anfield power battle.
Also today, George Gillett has issued a statement concerning Hicks' statements earlier today to Sky Sports. Says Gillett: "I am saddened at this latest outburst from Tom Hicks."
Finally, a question: Why did Hicks have a fire going during his interview with British TV? Because the interview took place in his Dallas office, and last I looked, it hasn't been fireplace weather in, at least, a few days. Were he and Nolan Ryan making a snow monkey breakfast over the open flame? --Robert Wilonsky

Four Ways to Style an Overgrown Pixie
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #ReThinkColour #CollectiveBias
A couple of years ago, I shed my mermaid length locks for a pixie cut. I was inspired by my grandmother, who had been diagnosed with lung cancer at the time and I wanted to donate my long hair as a gesture of solidarity that I was in the fight alongside grandma, even though we were across the country. Since then, I've gone back and forth between growing out my pixie and returning to the days of my long, flowing locks, or keeping it pixie short and easy to maintain. Currently I'm in the phase of I-want-to-grow-it-out-and-have-mermaid-hair phase, which means I've got an overgrown pixie that's next to impossible to style without looking like a big ol' hot mess. Thankfully, I've created four go to hair styles that have become my go-to's to hold me over until my overgrown pixie can become a bob, which will then become a lob, and then finally mermaid hair! Today I'm sharing my favorite ways to style an overgrown pixie to inspire all of my fellow pixies when they're feeling discouraged about growing their own cut out.
Side pinned bangs
One of the most frustrating parts about growing out my pixie has been my bangs. They're forever falling in my face and it makes me bananas. A couple of bobby pins, a quick twist of the bang, and booyah! A delicate look that doubles as the perfect work hairstyle.
Sleek and smooth
This one took some getting used to for me, but after I wore it a few times, I really love it. Typically this only works for a day, the first day of a hair wash, because pixies are infamous for the crazy bed head, which makes this style next to impossible after sleeping on it.
Wild and curly
This is one of my favorite looks because it hides any of the grown out cut that looks odd or misshapen. It's also fun and girly.
Wear a scarf
Channeling my inner hippie has never been more welcome than throughout my growing out process. This is especially great for day two or three after hair washing day. Wear it with some jeans and a flowy kimono and you've got hippie chic nailed!
For me, the key to growing out a pixie has been willpower and avoiding the salon at all costs. I know once I walk through those doors and sit down at my stylists chair, the urge to have her chop it all off again will be irresistible, so I take care of my hair as best as I can at home until my hair is long enough to shape into a bob. This means I dye my own hair at home to keep the grey away (what even is life, I have grey hair?!) and I keep my color bright and deep with John Frieda Colour Care from Target, which allows me to adjust my hair color right in the shower. Since keeping my hair dark works best for me while I'm avoiding the salon, I use the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Shampoo/Conditioner and Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ In-Shower Treatment.
Find these John Frieda Colour Care products at Target on a special in-store end cap through March 5th. And when you buy three, you'll receive a $5 Target gift card.
Target is a mom's best friend, right guys? I'll be using my gift card for some extra makeup to help me rock my brighter hair color! The John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo/Conditioner gradually brightens for natural-looking sun-kissed brunette and illuminates glowing tones, which makes it awesome for keeping my colored hair luminous and glowing. And the In-Shower treatment only lightens your natural spectrum, so hair won't appear bleached or orange and instantly lightens one shade for a sun-kissed brunette color. They also have a system for my blonde gals and deeper brunette gals who are looking for a color care solution.
Fellow post-pixie friends, these hairstyles paired with the John Frieda Colour Care collection have been the recipe to keeping my hair looking fresh and salon-styled without actually having to step foot in one. My lack of willpower requires an at home routine I can depend on and that I really love, which is why I'm so excited about these products.
