Keywords: Private Studio
My husband and I spent Christmas weekend in Darrell and Mary Lou's lovely studio apartment. The view IS, in fact, spectacular! It was a lovely time to be there and our hosts were great. The apartment is private, quiet, clean and beautifully decorated. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Mary Lou and Darrell for your welcoming hospitality!
Last minute trip to Leavenworth during Christmas led us to this cute little studio. It was the perfect size for my husband and me. The studio is clean and cute with beautiful views. The owners were very welcoming and accommodating. During the winter, it was tough to walk to town (dark streets with lots of snow) but it was a short drive to town. Definitely recommend this place.
This is a very comfortable, cozy, clean apartment with beautiful views close to downtown. The owners were friendly and accommodating. Would recommend staying here.
This fully equipped studio with private entrance is nestled in the foothills at a private home about a mile from the Leavenworth strip. The mile walk would be a bit too far for my wife but if you bring your bikes like we did it would have been an easy ride, except for the inclement weather "forced" us to use our car. Marylou and Woody were wonderful hosts who were keen on giving us our privacy. They have out done themselves with the well decorated boutique studio. With sink, under counter frig, toaster and microwave, your all set to have leftovers for breakfast. The sofa bed, we were told is quite comfortable but we opted for the two single beds which we found to be very comfortable. The surrounding green hills laden with orchard trees are a welcome change from the noisy Leavenworth center, especially when you want to sleep in. We were welcomed with a nice bottle of Merlot and some treats upon our arrival. Finally, Twin Peaks is a good value for those looking for a nice peaceful place without excessive fees. We feel this lodging is between Excellent and Good.
My daughter and I just got home from spending the weekend at Twin Peaks - it was wonderful! Marylou greeted us on Friday afternoon and showed us upstairs to the cozy little apartment hideaway. The views are absolutely amazing and we could not have been more pleased with the accomodation. As nice as the posted pictures are, they really don't capture the warmth and coziness of the room. Everything you could need is right at your fingers and the little extras like champagne and chocolate were wonderfully unexpected (and welcomed)! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back for another girls getaway weekend! Thank you so much!
wine tasting, Oktoberfest, Christmas Lighting Festival, Maifest, Art in the Park, Outdoor live theatre. Access to daily train.

I need to sign up for a few items for now (niche-related books) but I seem to remember some deal about a freebie script give-away of some kind for signing up second tier.
Is that long gone, did I imagine it, or is there still something around?

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bulls#!t
Don't tell me that you'll do it... SHOW ME.
Just because everyone else is drinking it is no reason for me to drink the KOOL-AID.

Where Is The Real Portia Simpson-Miller?
At this time, if I say I am not utterly ashamed of this government and more so the Prime Minister I would be pathologically mendacious. I am still in shock that our Prime Minister, my PM, only think this country deserves 73 seconds of her precious time to address a national crisis.
What has happened to Portia Lucretia Simpson-Miller? What has happened to the woman Jamaicans love dearly? What has happened to the woman who once spoke so passionately about the less fortunate? The individual that is purporting to be PM Simpson-Miller, is an intruder and needs to be evacuated urgently. The individual that is disguising as the Prime Minister and somewhat convinces herself and Jamaica that she is indeed Portia Simpson-Miller, lacks ALL leadership acumens. The Portia Simpson-Miller that we know would never give a 73 seconds response to the death of 19 babies in our hospitals. She would never allow a minister who has time after time failed miserably to manage his portfolio that of Health Care to continue. The Simpson-Miller that Jamaicans love, would hold him accountable for such gross mismanagement. Dr. Fenton Ferguson has proven that Jamaica is a country where ministers of government are really paid to not be aware of what's happening in their ministries but instead, act clueless and give nonsensical public presentations that they are not even in a position to answer questions to-he is a public disgrace.
The individual appearing as the Prime Minister and claiming to be our beloved Mama P, can never address national issues of concerns, but can loudly and boldly react to any hint of critism towards her personally. She can also loudly and proudly claim that- one of the most under-developed and crime ridden parishes- Westmoreland, as being PNP land, which is more than a shame considering the PNP has been in government for so many years and Westmoreland in every way shape and form is still developmental wise stuck in the 1940s. Why can't this intruder give us back our beloved Mama P? We want the lady who is not afraid to fight for what is right and really put the poor on the front burner, we want the "strong woman" who is not afraid to fire her ministers when they make a "mockery" of their responsibilities and the country.
If the real Portia Lucrecia Simpson- Miller cannot come back and be the Prime Minister, can the intruder in Parliament please leave us alone? I am begging her, give us a break. We need a leader, someone we can look to for answers and results, not someone who can only hope, as hope does not bring forth results, but actions does. If the intruder cannot give us that seeing that maybe the real PSM is gone forever, do the honorable thing and do not try to trick us by running in the next general election because you know as a country some of us are easily fooled by election promises.

Letter(s) from Oksana Rakovskaya to Sam (UK)
Letter 1
Hello Sam!
First of all, i'd like to say, that even I did recive some of e-mails from men of all over the world but all of them wrote the same things like: "you are wonderful... you are beautiful... I want to make love with you" I want tell you, that i'm looking for not only a handsome man outside and have sex with him, but mostly a wonderful man inside! I want a man who can keep up with me, in every area & so that is why I am looking to you ... By the way i can't write to you on the weekend because I write from the Net cafe and it is close on Sunday as usual. My Dear, I think that it's better at first to tell you about my family and my life with the people surrounding me. I have a very nice family. I live with my mum Nataly and my sister Kate. I don't have a father. My parents were divorced when my sister was born. My father found another family and now he lies in Russia with his new family. Once a year he comes here to me and my sister. My mum works in the library. She is a librarian. She is very nice and kind woman. She teach me all i need in my life. She is a very good friend who can give me the advice, she is a very good collegue, because she always know what is better for me to do, and the main her features is she is a nice and wonderful Mum. She has given all her life to me and my younger sister Kate. By the way Kate is 12. She is a pupil at school. Our family is not rich but we have everything for good and happy life. We live in small flat in multistory building. The city we live in is called Uzgorod, where I spent all my childhood. I was brought up in the loving family. I am kind and romantic, able to make compromises in the relations. Though I have many friends I understood that I am desperately lonely, I believe that there is a person in this world who is able to understand me and to love me as I am. Maybe the God create us for each other??? We will see.. By the way, I can cook very good, and not only our traditional dishes, but much of foreign food. I love to taste different kind of food, I dont know how to cook the foreign dish but i'm sure they are delicious! I like my home be light and clean.Because without that, there will be no any comfort.
We are still at the beginning of our relations, there are still so many things to know about us, i wanna discover you slowly like when you tenderly make the love with somebody, i wanna taste every step we make.
Dear,tell me more about yourself.
Thank you for you sweet letter once more. I will wait for another warm words from you impatiently. Bye for now, my dear
Regards, Oksana

Dear Sir!
Our agency has come from Kiev embassy and we have some information for you. We need to inform you that your girl needs to have the travel money for her trip to UK. It is the condition of embassy that the person should have at least 50$ per each day of her staying abroad. It means that she is not going to escape a living there otherwise she will be stopped on the custom and they will return her back. As your lady has the tourist visa for three month it means that she needs to have 50$ for every day. As soon as she approves that she has the money we will give all the documents to your lady.
We are ready to help you at any your question.
Thank you for cooperation.
Truly yours, Leontina Podkopaeva

Got the Prevacid filled today, and it's probably too soon to tell, but Kody had a great evening! He actually fell asleep by himself on the floor while I was reading bedtime stories to Ethan. He just seems less fussy since a few hours after I gave it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Doctors (and pharmacists, apparently) are really annoying me right now. The doc was saying how his gut feeling was that this wouldn't work (nice, huh?). Well, so I refilled Kody's Zantac as well when I got the Prevacid filled, because in case it didn't work, I wanted to be able to go back to the Zantac. So the pharmacist was not too happy with that decision, because she was so worried that I was taking matters into my own hands and not consulting with my doctor before I decided to switch Kody back to the Zantac. I don't think she wanted to give me the Zantac at all, because she was worried I might give it at the same time as the Prevacid. It's not rocket science, lady! Sheesh. People must think we're idiots, you know? I don't see a need to contact the doctor to just have them tell me to do what I already know to do.
If it doesn't work, I figure we've tried everything as far as meds go, and just make do the best I can. I have no faith in my doctors! Ugh. It's annoying when you're more educated than they are in certain topics.
OK, rant over, now I'm going to bed!
Re: Prevacid
It's kind of unfair that people automatically assume we are all airheads. We aren't doctors or work in a pharmacy, therefore we must know nothing about whats wrong with our children and how to safely medicate them. Even the tiny-est stupid things Doctors will disagree with you on.. for example when I mentioned at one of my appointments that I had been feeling baby movement as early as 13 weeks. My Dr was like "No, it's too early. Maybe in another couple weeks." -- Errrm, noooo. But your a doctor so you MUST know everything, right? Gah!!!
Well at least you got both meds and it's fantastic that it's already working so well!! I hope it continues to help. Sometimes you just gotta roll your eyes at people and know that your NOT an idiot, whether they think you are or not. When you go back to the doctor again (whenever that may be) you should rub it in their face that the prevacid has made the fussies go away and you wish they would have suggested it. I know it's not true for EVER doctor, but I feel like we are just a patient number and paycheck for them. It seems like most of them don't go out of their way to work with us (or at least me) and try to figure out how they can help. They just brush it off and say "Oh, well.. it's normal." or "There's not much we can do."
Okay my rant is over now too, hahah! :p
Re: Prevacid
LOL Amy, you totally get it too huh! Isn't it maddening?

Ready to belt it out? Lauren Bushnell fools fiancé Ben Higgins into thinking he's going to be singing the national anthem at a baseball game on Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After's Tuesday, October 18, episode, as seen in a sneak peek.
The Freeform unscripted series focuses on the Bachelor season 20 lovebirds. The preview clip shows Bushnell, 26, setting up a hidden camera just before Higgins, 28, receives a phone call from a rep for the Colorado Rockies to finalize the plan to have the software salesman throw out the first pitch at a game.
"OK, so here's the deal — I'm playing a prank on Ben," Bushnell tells the camera. "So he's throwing out the first pitch at the Rockies game, and I'm going to have the Rockies call him and tell him that they want to sing the national anthem. And I'm pretty sure that's one of his biggest fears, so he's going to freak out."
When the former Bachelor answers the call, the team rep tells him, "Thank you in advance for coming and helping us out on Monday. … We were thinking that it might be really fun if along with throwing out the first pitch, you would consider singing the national anthem for us."
As Higgins processes this latest development, a big smile spreads across his face. "Really?" he asks. The episode then shows Bushnell worrying that "he's going to be so mad" when he realizes his effort was all for naught.
Last week's series premiere focused on the the pair — who got engaged during his Bachelor season 20 finale that aired in March — experiencing friction over his continued contact with runner-up JoJo Fletcher.
Watch the humorous clip above. Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After? airs on Freeform Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Tacoma's Proctor Art Gallery hosts mosaic artist Patty Franklin
There are some rather unusual musical instruments in the Proctor Art Gallery this week. Two guitars and a mandolin have no strings – instead, they're covered with a mosaic of glass and beads in swirls, curves, lines and hearts, shimmering with color like a swimming pool in brilliant sunshine. They're the work of Patty Franklin, a Woodinville artist who shows in Seattle and around the region, and who is the featured artist at Proctor this month. She'll also be demonstrating her mosaic technique this Saturday morning.
Franklin builds her mosaics up like relief sculptures on a variety of different surfaces: a sculpted female torso, onto which she's created a white mosaic dress flamed with multi-hue glass tongues; flat framed boards of wedi (the waterproof substance used behind tiles in showers); and the guitars and mandolin themselves, actual instruments bought in junk shops and filled with foam for strength.

Jesuits warn, war in Congo is having catastrophic impact on children
Jesuit Refugee Services has expressed deep concern over the humanitarian catastrophe in the North Kivu, particularly the effects of the war on children. In a statement issued on 20 November, for Universal Children's Day, they said: "the ongoing war in eastern Congo is depriving a whole generation of their education, an essential factor for a successful reconstruction of the war-torn region."
The JRS has made an appeal to the Congolese government, rebel groups, and the international community, asking that child recruitment is halted and their protection is prioritized; education continues in a safe environment as soon as possible; education is an integral part of the emergency response and the necessary funding is provided.
According to JRS, hundreds of of thousands of children are currently prevented from attending school in conflict-ravaged North Kivu. In the Rutshuru area alone, theatre of the latest heavy fighting, 150,000 children are unable to pursue their studies. UN agencies estimate that 85% of schools remain closed. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the conflict has prevented children in North Kivu from pursuing their education. Without outside intervention, this war risks denying an education to a whole generation of Kivu children.
According to a statement from Fr Juan Jose Aguado, SJ, of JRS Goma: "While the schools are closed, children will experience this violence close up. We have to help them feel at peace with themselves and develop as human beings. This is a role of education, preventing them from becoming instruments of violence and destruction. It is not normally part of emergency humanitarian interventions but here and now education is more urgent than ever."
"Despite the obvious advantages in education in the current crisis - providing a sense of normalcy for the children, preparing them for the future, giving hope to families - it received only three percent of the international emergency fund for the Congo in September," JRS said.
Although a considerable increase, it is still not enough to guarantee quality education for the children in Kivu. By mid-2008, only 20 percent of the required education funding for the region had arrived. Donors need to increase the funding for emergency education. Thus, JRS is making an appeal asking that education be prioritized, along with the increase in funding in this area.
Since January, the JRS has managed primary and secondary education projects in North Kivu, skills training and support to vulnerable displaced people in Rutshuru and the IDP camps on the outskirts of Goma. In the last three months, more than 250,000 people in North Kivu have been forced to flee their homes, most of them children, bringing the total of displaced to between 1,3 and 2 million in the province alone.

Washington (11-1) faces the Buffaloes (10-2) at 6 p.m. Friday (FOX TV) at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. UW is favored by 7.5 points.
Protect and throw deep
The strength of Colorado's vaunted defense, which leads the Pac-12 in fewest yards allowed (323.8 per game) and passing yards allowed (187.8), is its secondary that includes three starters (cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie and Ahkello Witherspoon and strong safety Tedric Thompson) who were second-team All-Pac-12 performers. The Buffaloes' defensive backfield allows only 5.4 yards per pass attempt — third-best in FBS. They play a fair amount of man coverage, which allows them to bring extra players on the pass rush and clog the middle to defend the run.
Washington hasn't faced a lot of man coverage this year because opponents were fearful of being burned deep by quarterback Jake Browning, the Pac-12 offensive MVP, and speedy receivers John Ross III and Dante Pettis, who have 16 and 14 touchdowns, respectively.
Still, blitzing Browning isn't a smart move. According to Pro Football Focus, he's thrown 11 touchdowns and no interceptions while completing 68.8 percent of his throws against the blitz. The key to rattling Browning is getting pressure with a four-man rush. In that scenario, he completes less than half of his passes. Keeping Browning upright is essential for UW. And he'll likely test CU's secondary on deep throws when he sees man-to-man coverage on the outside.
Stop the run
Colorado has an unconventional offensive attack, which features Sefo Liufau as a dual-threat quarterback who is dangerous as a passer and a power runner. He's second on the team with 483 yards rushing, while averaging 12 carries per game. That's six fewer carries per game than running back Phillip Lindsay (1,136 rushing yards and 15 TDs). Liufau is exceptionally dangerous as a runner on short-yardage situations and around the goal line. He has seven rushing TDs.

- Rebound with redemption: Huskies come back to beat Utah behind the unlikeliest of heroes
Without linebackers Azeem Victor (broken leg), their leading tackler, and Joe Mathis (foot injury), the Huskies will rely heavily on their oversized defensive line to slow down the Buffaloes. Washington has a massive front that features three defensive tackles (Elijah Qualls, Vita Vea and Greg Gaines) who received all-conference honors. UW leads the Pac-12, allowing just 127 rushing yards per game. Colorado, which averages 201.1 rushing yards per game, was held under 100 just twice this season — both defeats.
Expect the unexpected
These teams are so evenly matched on both sides of the ball that it feels as if a big punt or kickoff return, turnover or fluky play could be the difference. The Huskies have two of the best returners in the Pac-12 in Pettis and Ross. And we know UW coach Chris Petersen has a book full of trick plays.
It goes without saying that whichever team wins the turnover battle greatly enhances its chances of prevailing. Washington and Colorado rank 1 and 2 respectively in the Pac-12 in turnover ratio. They are two of only eight FBS teams with more takeaways than touchdowns allowed.
Also the Huskies, who played last Friday, had an extra day to prepare for Colorado, which wrapped up its regular season on Saturday. The Buffaloes defeated No. 22 Utah in a physically taxing 27-22 victory while UW had a relatively easy time crushing Washington State 45-17.

Danny Salazar, Cleveland's hard-throwing 24-year-old sophomore, got ten of the first 11 outs of Thursday afternoon's Indians-White Sox game via strikeout, but he never got a chance to get the 12th out. That's not because Salzar got hurt, but because he got hit. When Salazar was pulled from the game with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Cleveland was trailing 5-3, and Salazar had already thrown 93 pitches. As a result, he became the first pitcher since 1900 (and likely the first major leaguer ever) to strike out ten men in a game in which he failed to complete the fourth inning.
[mlbvideo id="31984173" width="600" height="360" /]
In the last 100 years, which is as far back as the game logs go, just ten pitchers, including Salazar, have struck out ten or more men in a game in which they failed to complete the fifth inning. Eight of them, including Sandy Koufax in 1961, the first to turn the trick, gave up four or more runs in those four-plus innings. The two exceptions both came last year. On May 10, the Rays' Alex Cobb struck out 13 Padres in 4 2/3 innings, but walked the third batter of the fifth inning with his 117th pitch and, with Tampa Bay already trailing 3-2, was pulled from the game. On Sept. 22 of last year, Felix Hernandez returned from an oblique strain that caused him to miss three starts to strike out 10 men in just four innings, throwing 92 pitches in a game at Angel Stadium that was twice delayed due to bees. Hernandez's start was, prior to Thursday night, the shortest ten-strikeout start in major league history.
One other thing that nearly all of the pitchers who have struck out ten or more in fewer then five innings have in common is that they tended to be good pitchers. In addition to Koufax, Hernandez, and Cobb, who went 11-3 with a 2.76 ERA for the Rays last year, that list includes potential Hall of Famer Mike Mussina, six-time All-Star Sudden Sam McDowell, Rookie of the Year runner-up Rick Ankiel, 142-game winner Bobby Witt, and future All-Star closer Bill Caudill. The lone exception is the Blue Jays' David Purcey. The pitcher with the most strikeouts in an outing of 3 1/3 innings or fewer? Some guy named Roy Halladay, who struck out nine while giving up five runs last April.

- Footage shows a Muslim cab driver refusing to allow the blind couple's guide dog into his car
- The blind couple shared the footage online and it came to the attention of local authorities in Leicester, UK
- The Muslim cab driver has now been fined for his action
In July 2016, a couple classified as blind ordered a cab from a cab company in Leicester City, UK. However, the cab driver who arrived was a Muslim, and upon seeing their guide dog, he refused to allow it into his car because, as he said, it was against his religion.

22-year-old Charles Bloch and his 21-year-old girlfriend Jessica captured the incident on camera and later shared it on social media, drawing outrage.
In the footage, the driver, identified as 43-year-old Jamal Kassim, is seen eventually driving off and insensitively leaving the couple on the street without assistance or a replacement cab.

The footage of the incident caught the attention of local authorities in Leicester City, who then brought charges against Mr. Kassim for discriminating against the blind couple.
Although Mr. Kassim said he was unaware of the law that prohibited against his discriminating act, a court has now fined him $700 (N350,000).
The cab company that employs Mr. Kassim has also released a statement condemning his action.
