Le Creuset® Bijou Basting Brushes

The rigorous process starts with molten iron being sand cast from a single mold that's destroyed after use, explaining why no two pieces are identical. Pots, pans and accessories are then painstakingly polished and finished by hand, sprayed with two coats of enamel and fired twice. No other procedure yields cookware that so evenly conducts and retains heat, making Le Creuset cast iron second to none for slow cooking.
Le Creuset's signature color, Flame, was created to reflect the intense orange hue of molten cast iron inside a cauldron ("creuset" in French). In the company's early years, this vibrant shade offered a refreshing color choice within a sea of gray. Carrying on the tradition, Le Creuset features a wide range of vibrant colors to complement any kitchen décor.
In 1995 Le Creuset began expanding into new categories: stainless steel, stoneware, silicone, enamel on steel, textiles and forged hard-anodized aluminum. Although some production processes have been modernized, you can be sure the handmade qualities of Le Creuset cookware remain unchanged. The company still manufactures their cast iron cookware in the original foundry, with each piece passing through the hands of 15 skilled artisans to ensure flawless perfection.
With the consistent qualities of authenticity, originality and innovation, Le Creuset maintains a connection to both heritage and modernity.

Fergus Falls State Hospital featured on MinneCulture June 17 & 19
June 14, 2013
Built in the 1890s, the Kirkbride state hospital in Fergus Falls has had a controversial past. Despite being listed on the state's historical registry, it had been slated for demolition. Last week the Fergus Falls city council agreed to allow a developer from Georgia to convert the vacant treatment center into a $41-million-dollar facility, featuring apartments, a hotel, a gym, and restaurants.
On the next MinneCulture, KFAI producer Susan Gray presents Second Chances: The Story of Fergus Falls State Hospital, and explores the history of this rural institution. Tune in Monday and Wednesday, June 17 and 19, from 7:30 to 8pm.

|Sanskrit Transliteration
|Aum Adityebhyah Namah
|Horses and many others
In Hinduism, Ādityas (Sanskrit: आदित्य, pronounced [ɑːd̪it̪jɐ]), meaning "of Aditi", refers to the offspring of Aditi. In Hinduism, Aditya is used in the singular to mean the Sun God, Surya. Bhagavata Purana[1] enlists total 12 Adityas as twelve Sun-gods. In each month of the year, it is a different Aditya (Sun God) who shines. All these 12 Adityas are the opulent expansions of Lord Vishnu in the form of Sun-God.[2]
Bhagavata Purana[edit]
In Bhagavata Purana, complete names of 12 Adityas (Sun-Gods) have been given in details
- Dhata
- Aryama
- Mitra
- Varuna
- Indra
- Vivasvan
- Tvashtha
- Vishnu (This Sun-God is the head of all the Adityas[3] and is different from Lord Vishnu)
- Amshuman
- Bhaga
- Pushya
- Parjanya
In each month of the year, it is a different Aditya (Sun-God) who shines.[1] As Indra, Surya destroys the enemies of the gods. As Dhata, he creates living beings. As Parjanya, he showers down rain. As Tvashta, he lives in the trees and herbs. As Pusha, he makes foodgrains grow. As Aryama, he is in the wind. As Bhaga, he is in the body of all living beings. As Vivasvana, he is in fire and helps to cook food. As Vishnu, he destroys the enemies of the gods. As Amshumana, he is again in the wind. As Varuna, Surya is in the waters and As Mitra, he is in the moon and in the oceans.
In the Rigveda, the Ādityas are the seven celestial deities, sons of Āditi,
The eighth Āditya (Mārtanda) was rejected by Aditi, leaving seven sons. In the Yajurveda (Taittirīya Samhita), their number is given as eight, and the last one is believed to be Vivasvān. Hymn LXXII of Rig Veda, Book 10, also confirms that there are eight Adityas, the eight one being Mārtanda, who is later revived back as Vivasvān. [4]
"So with her Seven Sons Aditi went forth to meet the earlier age. She brought Mārtanda thitherward to spring to life and die again."
The rigvedic Ādityas are Asuras, a class of gods in the Rigveda and are distinct from other groups such as the Maruts, the Rbhus or the Viśve-devāḥ (although Mitra and Varuna are associated with the latter). [5]
The Adityas have been described in the Rig Veda as bright and pure as streams of water, free from all guile and falsehood, blameless, perfect.
These class of deities have been attributed to as upholding the movables and immovable Dharma. Aditya are the beneficent Gods who act as protectors of all beings, who are provident and guard the world of spirits and protect the world. In the form of Mitra-Varuna, the Adityas are true to the eternal Law and act as the debt exactors.[6]
In present day usage in Sanskrit, the term Aditya has been made singular in contrast to Vedic Adityas, and are being used synonymously with Surya, the Sun.
The Vedas do not identify the Ādityas and there is no classification of the thirty-three gods, except for in the Yajurveda (7.19), which says there are eleven gods in heaven (light space), eleven gods in atmosphere (intermediate space), and eleven gods in earth (observer space). In the Satapatha Brahmana, the number of Ādityas is eight in some passages, and in other texts of the same Brahmana, twelve Adityas are mentioned. [7] The list of 12 Adityas is as follows:
Linga Purana[edit]
According to the Linga Purana[8] the Aditya's are:
- Vishnu (This Sun-God is the head of all the Adityas[3] and is different from Lord Vishnu)
- Indra
- Dhata
- Bhaga
- Twashta
- Amshuman
- Varuna
- Mitra
- Vivaswan
- Pusha
- Savitr
- Aryaman
Vedanta and Puranic Hinduism[edit]
Āditya in the (Chāndogya-Upaniṣad) is also a name of Viṣṇu, in his Avatar known as Vāmana, the dwarf. His mother is Aditi.
Another such list, from the Vishnu Purana [9] is:
- Aṃśa
- Aryaman
- Bhaga
- Dhūti
- Mitra
- Pūṣan
- Śakra
- Savitṛ
- Tvaṣṭṛ
- Varuṇa
- Vishnu (This Sun-God is the head of all the Adityas[3] and is different from Lord Vishnu)
- Vivasvat

best bouillabaisse in LA discussion
I haven't seen this one debated in the archives.
Wondering about people's opinions, especially those that have made bouillabaise themselves and have had it at numerous places.
The best I've had in this city was at Jiraffe but I haven't had that many, mostly out of fear. Before I moved here I read that Mimosa had a good one but haven't been, actually.
Pastis on Beverly Blvd just west of Crescent Hts. has had it on the menu in the past, yet not sure if it is today.
Certain times of year have better seafood availability, as well as consumer interest in eating it.
I would rather have it in cooler weather than in summer, given a choice.
Great topic, I love authentic bouillabaisse.
Sadly, I have yet to experience one in L.A.. I can wave you off the version served at Maximilian (a restaurant which I otherwise adore) and the one at the restaurant at Hotel Bel-Air. Ditto for Suzanne's in Ojai.
When I lived in D.C., there was a restaurant called Lavandou, that would ship mullet, rascasse and other indigenous Mediterranean fish in for Batille Day in order to make true french bouillabaisse. It was divine!
Recently, I noticed there was a bouillabaisse listed on the menu at Bistro Provence which I will likley try but with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Now, Ocean Ave. is next on my list.
re: bodie
great, keep me posted on your bouillabaise exploits. i had that one in ojai, nothing special... i had a talk with the chef of the bel air (he wrote a long article on boill. on their website) whom i happened to meet+ was meaning to try their version; he's very proud of his. but actually i forgot to get there until reading your reply.
i think a great bouillabaise can be made with whatever is at hand, so it needn't be shipped in, although that is great. we used to make it with halibut, lobsters, crawfish, mullet. fennel and tomatoes from the garden. better saffron than in france too.
but i love going out for it. sometimes Jiraffe's is pretty good. i wonder what you'd think

Illegal Immigration: Greater Efforts Still Needed to Combat Smuggling and Violence
Posted By Jessica Zuckerman On October 24, 2011 @ 4:00 pm In Featured | Comments Disabled
The illegal immigration of Mexicans to the U.S. has "sputtered to a trickle" due to an increase in economic and educational opportunities in Mexico coupled with a surge in border violence. At least, that is what The New York Times [1] reported earlier this year.
Ignoring that the apprehension of 447,500 illegal immigrants along the southwest border in fiscal year 2010 can hardly be called "trickle," has the economy in Mexico really seen such drastic improvements that economic conditions are pushing fewer and fewer Mexican citizens to head to the U.S.? Likewise, what are the true effects of drug violence along the border and throughout Mexico on illegal immigration to the U.S.?
In June, The Heritage Foundation wrote about the "push-pull effect [2]" and illegal immigration, explaining:
Illegal immigration largely results from the "push-pull effect" caused by slow economies in Latin America and the need for workers in the United States. In order to stem this tide, the United States should implement a market-based temporary-worker pilot program to meet the American demand for workers, giving U.S. businesses access to a reliable, rotating workforce from abroad. Such a program would meet the needs of the American economy and also quell the drive for illegal immigration. Further, fostering free-market economic reforms in Latin America would help to strengthen the economic opportunities of the region and reduce the need for individuals to seek employment abroad in order to support themselves and their families.
On the one side, few would argue that the U.S. "pull" on immigrants has not declined with the recent economic downturn. In fact, most experts seem to believe that the decline in the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S.—an estimated [3] 10.8 million illegal immigrants were believed to be present in the U.S. in January 2010, down from 11.8 million in January 2007—is largely due to self-deportation. As jobs have become scarcer in the United States, some illegal immigrants have chosen to simply turn around and go home, and some may simply be choosing not to come at all.
The bigger question, however, is just how much the "push" effect has declined. As author Georffrey Ramsey explains in InsightCrime.org [4], while some in Mexico may have seen a growth in disposable income in recent years, only 32 percent of the country qualifies as middle class, while the number of individuals living below the poverty line has grown to 52 million (nearly half of Mexico's population of 112 million). Increases in free market reform and economic opportunity in Mexico are still desperately needed.
The question remaining, then, is the effects on illegal immigration of fear of violence spurned by Mexico's drug war. As we wrote earlier this year:
Violence against illegal border-crossers has become a regular occurrence around land and sea borders over the past decade. Criminal acts committed against illegal immigrants include kidnapping, robbery, extortion, sexual violence, and death at the hands of cartels, smugglers, and even corrupt Mexican government officials.… Despite some success in thwarting these [transnational criminal] organizations, the slow pace of justice and law enforcement reform, as well as rampant corruption, has allowed organized crime to continue to thrive in Mexico. Likewise, as Mexico attempts to clamp down on narcotics operations, these increasingly multifaceted criminal organizations turn to other sources of income, such as human smuggling and sex trafficking.
Rather than belittling the problem of illegal immigration to the United States, Americans should take a more comprehensive and robust strategy for combating human smuggling, violence, and the huge numbers of illegal aliens. Such a strategy should focus on increasing border security and improving legal immigration procedures and public diplomacy and fostering reforms and greater efforts to combat human smuggling in Latin America.

Symbols of New York State
Symbols of New York State
By action of the State Legislature, the bluebird, beaver, brook trout, sugar maple, rose, nine spotted lady beetle, bay scallop, eurypterid, and garnet officially represent the state's birds, mammals, fish, insects, mollusks, trees, wildflowers, fossils, and minerals.
In the summer of 2006, the New York State Legislature adopted the snapping turtle as the official state reptile and the striped bass as the official state saltwater fish, moving the brook trout to the official state freshwater fish.
Once common throughout the Northeast, the bluebird fell prey to changing land use practices. Until the 1920s, the countryside was a patchwork of small farms with apple orchards and fields separated by overgrown fencerows. Bluebirds nested in holes in fence posts or apple trees and patrolled orchards, fields, and gardens for insect food. A great many of these small, unprofitable farms were abandoned when their tenants abandoned the land for jobs in the cities. Fence posts rotted and fields gave way to trees--inhospitable to bluebirds.
In more recent years, the bluebird has staged a comeback, largely due to efforts of the North American Bluebird Society and its state and local affiliates. Together, these organizations and other concerned individuals have waged an educational campaign about the bluebird, encouraging the proper construction, placement, and care of nesting boxes. The result is that the bluebird once again graces open spaces and its beautiful plumage and sweet song are enjoyed across the Northeast.
More than any other factor, the beaver was most instrumental in motivating French exploration in the New World and for the establishment of Dutch and English trading posts that opened New York to colonization. Beaver pelts were very much in demand in Europe for felt hats and fur trim on garments. Beaver commerce over time resulted in the decline in beaver numbers from an estimated 60 million to nearly none. Forest harvest, particularly along streams, was also a factor. Beavers were introduced into the Adirondacks at the turn of the century and trapping was prohibited. As the forests returned to the Northeast, so too did the beaver.
North America's largest rodent exerts more influence on its habitat than any other creature except man. To insure a sufficiently watery environment, beavers construct dams to create artificial ponds in which to construct their lodges. The enlarged water bodies that beavers create are a boon to countless other creatures from fish to ducks and wading birds to such mammals as muskrat, deer, and moose. In some areas beaver have become a nuisance, flooding private property and roads and cutting ornamental trees and shrubs. DEC wildlife personnel provide management assistance.
Sugar Maple
The sugar maple is a magnificent forest tree abundant everywhere upstate. Besides providing beautiful borders to many miles of highways, and thousands of gallons of maple syrup, it yields a wood of high grade. It is hard, strong, close-grained, and tough, with a fine, satiny surface, and is in great demand for flooring, veneer, interior finish, furniture, shoe lasts, rollers, and fuel wood of the best quality. Because of its particularly brilliant fall foliage, sugar maples are often planted as shade trees.
Brook Trout
Symbolizing pure water as well as an excellent fish, the brook trout inhabits clear, cold lakes and streams. This fish prefers shaded streams with a mean temperature of about 50 degrees. In the late summer and fall, brook trout begin moving upstream to where waters flow through gravel and rubble. Here the female excavates a nest with violent tail flapping. Then side by side the female lays eggs and the male fertilizes them. Then the female dislodges some of the gravel to cover the eggs. Fifty to 100 days later, the fry hatch to be nourished initially by a large yolk sack.
Mature brook trout are small and short-lived. Wary and scrappy, brook trout are always very popular with anglers. DEC fish hatcheries raise and release brook trout to ensure a good supply.
In 1984, the legislature officially designated the eurypterid as the the state fossil. Close kin of the living horseshoe crab as well as of scorpions and spiders, eurypterids or water scorpions are very rare worldwide, and in America they are found in only a few states. In New York, though, they are locally abundant in 400- to 415-million-year-old dolostone and shale. Most are in the 4- to 8-inch length range. Some were considerably larger, making them the largest arthropod known.
New York is home to several species of wild roses. Some grow in wetlands while others, like the pasture rose, are at home along dry roadsides and in hedgerows. All are characterized by having five usually pink petals above five sharp green sepals. Most species are armed with sharp prickles to discourage browsing by cattle and deer. Rose fruit called hips are high in vitamin C and are valuable as food for many wildlife species.
The nine-spotted lady beetle was one of the most recently designated official wildlife symbols. Selected in 1989, ladybugs have always been highly regarded because both larvae and adults feed on pest aphids. Adults can consume a hundred aphids a day. Many children can recite at least part of the poem,
Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home,
Your house is on fire, your children will roam,
Except little Nan, who sits in a pan
Weaving gold laces as fast as she can.
This English verse was an after-harvest warning to the ladybugs that fields were being burned to rid them of plant debris and insect pests. The lady beetle's children, or larvae, could crawl away from the burning vines, but the immobile pupa, Nan, remained fastened to the burning plants.
Bay Scallop
Our state shell is abundant on eastern Long Island Sound, in shallow water of salt-water bays where the bottom is covered with sand or seaweed, and on mud flats. Bay scallops feed on minute living things taken in with water used for breathing. They have a varied life history: a free-swimming stage develops from fertilized eggs. They then attach by secreted stems to submerged supports and develop to a width of 1.5 inches. Then they change into free-roaming animals that move by flapping shells. A shell flap accompanied by a jet of water can move scallops several feet. Bay scallops are a favorite of seafood enthusiasts.
One of the largest garnet mines in the world is located on Gore Mountain in the Adirondacks. Most garnet is used as an industrial abrasive, but occasionally gem quality stones are found. Garnet's hard, sharp features make it excellent for grinding lenses and for polishing glass and metal.
The name garnet comes from the Latin word for pomegranate, malum granatum, due to the resemblance of some varieties of garnet to red pomegranate seeds. Their use as gems has a history that goes back to the ancient Egyptians.

This week's Slott Report Mailbag looks at retirement plan distributions and moving money to tax-free territory. We dissect these two issues below, and remember, if you have a question make sure to email us at email@example.com. As always, we stress the importance of working with a competent, educated financial advisor to keep your retirement nest egg safe and secure. Find one in your area at this link.
Enjoy your articles greatly.
|Send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com
My question is, say I am 63, receiving Social Security and a pension. My wife is 5 years younger. We both had company 401(k)s.
When she retires, I figure her Social Security, 401(k) distributions and pension may throw us to the 25% tax bracket.
What I want to do is take $30,000 distributions from my 401(k), figuring to use about $10,000 of it. I want to throw the excess $20,000 into my existing Roth IRA so that I have some more tax-free income in the future when we may be at the 25% tax bracket.
Is this allowed and are there any limits?
Rich McBride
You can convert any amount of your 401(k) distribution to a Roth IRA. There are no dollar limits on the amount of money that can be converted to a Roth IRA nor are there any income limits that would prevent you from doing a conversion. The amount converted will be taxable. It is considered ordinary income and can push you into a higher tax bracket. It can also affect your deductions, credits, exemptions and phase-outs. If, after doing your tax return for 2013, you decide that the conversion is no longer what you want to do, you can undo (recharacterize) all or some of the converted amount up to October 15, 2014.
A pension plan participant has been receiving monthly payments during 2013.
The pension plan is terminating and the participant has been offered a lump-sum cash out option. She wishes to elect this option (with spousal consent) and roll the lump sum to an IRA (non-Roth).
Question: What portion of the lump sum is an eligible rollover distribution?
a. All but the full normally computed required minimum distribution?
b. (a) but reduced (not below $0) by the sum of the monthly pension payments received?
c. Other?
Question: Will the amount rolled over be subject to a second minimum required distribution in 2013?
Thank you.
The amount that's eligible for rollover is the full amount minus any required minimum distribution (RMD) of the pension plan for 2013 that she hasn't taken yet. Assuming she's age 70 ½ or older this year, she doesn't have to take a second RMD from the IRA on the pension rollover amount.

MANILA, Philippines - In a very touching expression of support, the Empire State Building donned the blue, red and yellow colors of the Philippine flag on Friday night (Saturday morning in Manila). The Empire State Building tweeted the amazing display, which will be repeated on Saturday night (Sunday in Manila).

Filipinos on Twitter were moved with the Empire State Building's support and its effort to amplify international awareness for the plight of the people in typhoon-stricken regions in the Visayas.

Even media personalities and celebrities expressed gratitude for the touching gesture. Help from all over the world has been pouring in to the affected areas in the country. Billions worth of cash and relief items have been brought to the country to ease the burden of the affected families.
The government has reported that nearly 10 million people were affected by the typhoon and more than 4,000 people have been confirmed killed and reported missing following the devastation wrought by super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), one of the strongest and most destructive storms.

Authorities in Quebec say they've had no contact with Pittsfield--based Cianbro regarding the proposed East-West Highway since 2008.
The proposed $2 billion toll road aims to connect Maine and New Brunswick to Montreal and the industrial Midwest of the United States and Canada. While the highway would link to a four-lane, controlled-access highway at St. Stephen, New Brunswick, to the east across the border from Calais, there is no such link on the Quebec side, heading west from Coburn Gore.
In order to complete the high-speed route to Montreal and beyond, a new highway would have to be built from Coburn Gore across 60 miles of southeastern Quebec to Sherbrooke, where it could connect with Quebec Autoroute 10.
"Our department met with Cianbro in 2008 and we explained the steps and process through which this type of project has to go in Quebec," said Quebec Ministry of Transportation spokesman Mario St-Pierre, who said the ministry had offered to help Cianbro negotiate the process.
"Since 2008, we haven't heard from them," he said.
Local political representatives had a similar experience.
"The idea was presented to elected people here in Quebec, but since 2008 we didn't have more information back from the promoter, Cianbro," said Veronique Lachance, political attache to Johanne Gonthier, the representative to the National Assembly of Quebec for Lac-Megantic and the Estrie region.
Sources in the Sherbrooke area said they were doubtful that the province would build a highway anytime soon, given the backlog of projects in the province. A bypass to Autoroute 10 in the Sherbrooke area, Autoroute 410, remains incomplete nearly two decades after it was first discussed.
The existing road from Coburn Gore is a winding, two-lane road. A multilane highway would likely shave an hour off the overall travel time to Montreal, making the east-west route more competitive with the Trans Canada Highway, which curves around northern Maine.
Peter Vigue, CEO of Cianbro, said his company has a plan to facilitate creation of the Coburn Gore-Sherbrooke link, but that he could not share any details.
"Hope is not a strategy," he said. "So we have a strategy and we have a plan and I'm very satisfied with it and it will allow us to go forward in the future across the border."
Vigue has said his toll highway across Maine could be completed as early as 2019.
"We're well aware of the protocol and how things work in the province of Quebec," he said. "It's a work in progress as we speak."
While the Ministry of Transportation reports having no contact in recent years, St-Pierre said it does regard the project in a positive light.
"The (ministry) believes it could be beneficial to all regions of Quebec, especially the Estrie area, and well-fitting into a policy of rural development, " he said.

You've heard of June brides, but here at CBS19, it's more like "May Fiancees!" This past weekend, the boyfriends of CBS19's 5 p.m. co-anchors Stephanie Hockridge and Beth Duffy proposed.
Stephanie's fiancee, Ryan Woyski, popped the question in Annapolis. They were eating dinner at a waterfront restaurant when suddenly, they were surprised by an impromptu fireworks show over the harbor. Ryan seized the moment and proposed right then and there.
Beth's fiancee, Scott Cox, proposed to her at his brother's restaurant in Richmond. Little did she know that he called both his and her family ahead of time. They were all waiting inside to toast their big news!

I'm going to be renovating a four floor 6000 sq.ft. brownstone in the New Jersey in the next couple of months. At present the property only has steam heating, which I understand can't be zoned. This has me a little worried as we won't be using the whole house all of the time and the bills I'm sure will be huge. We will be installing a/c and a couple of people have recommended a German system, which apparently has very narrow ducting, ideal for this type of house. However, I was wondering whether it made sense to invest in a complete new HVAC system while we are doing the work. Any suggestions on systems that can use narrow piping and offer multiple zones would be appreciated!
Thanks for responding however, while the the renovations will be quite extensive I'm not sure under floor heating will necessarily work.We have period wood flooring in most of the rooms and it's one of the things we want to keep! I think the reason people have referred to a "German" system is that apparently it uses really narrow ducting and so can be used to install a/c reasonably easily in old houses. What I don't know is can it be used for heating as well.

Baby's Health + Well-Being
Whether or not your baby had a pediatric check-up last month, expect to head in sometime this month for the big half-year appointment. Yes, there will be immunizations and probably a few shed tears, but we bet you have a ton of questions to ask – especially about starting solids, your baby's developmental milestones and possible teething concerns.
Here are some other things you might be concerned about this month:
Feeding + Nutrition
With the possible introduction of solids this month, you'll notice a major shift in the feeding department – but one thing that won't change is the amount of breast milk or formula your baby eats. Continue to feed your baby according to our feeding schedule, but you might also be wondering about:
- The pros and cons of pre-packaged baby food
- Homemade baby food: Recipes, tips and precautions
- Breast Rejection
Sleep Solutions
It seems as though every month brings new sleep patterns and challenges, especially now that sleep training might be a part of your vocabulary. Many parents see a drastic change in their baby's sleep habits between months four and five, so you might be wondering about:
- How much your baby should sleep at night
- When he or she should nap
- How to get your baby to sleep throughout the night
- The downside of sleeping through the night: How to handle early wake-up times and late-night pumping sessions.
Mom's Health + Well-Being
Now that you're well past the newborn phase and are sort of settling into a routine (whether it's back at work or home with your baby), you might be ready to start taking care of yourself in addition to the rest of the family. We know you might put yourself at the bottom of the list, but you need some care and affection as well.
Development and Milestones
You're starting to have a mobile baby on the loose – whether it's simply rolling, wiggling or scooting from Point A to Point B. And that's not the only thing on the move: Your baby's hands are reaching, grabbing, swatting and banging, and his or her mouth is babbling more than ever. Here's what you can expect this month:
- Development: Is your baby on track?
- Playtime ideas: How to enhance your baby's development.

Mike Peck coached a number of Findlay players who landed in the NBA. But Anthony Bennett is the first former pupil to become a No. 1 pick, as he did Thursday night, and a surprised Peck said the Cleveland Cavaliers have the potential for a new marquee player.
"People don't realize he's only been playing basketball seriously since he was 14," Peck said. "And it's not like he eased into it. He got thrown into the highest level (at Findlay and then UNLV). It's not like he started out with a beginner course and he was able to slowly transition and progress. Uh-uh, with him, it was more like, 'Jump in, it's 20 feet deep. Now swim.' "
Bennett proved to be a quick study and a rare talent. In his one season at UNLV, he was named the Mountain West Freshman of the Year and earned a spot on the Sporting News' All-Freshman Team.
Portland, the Stampede's NBA affiliate, acquired four players Thursday:
Shooting guard C.J. McCollum (Lehigh) was selected with the 10th overall pick.
Jeff Withey, a 7-foot-1 center out of Kansas, was picked in the second round.
Spain product Marko Todorovic, a 6-11 center, was taken in the second round.
Allen Crabbe, a shooting guard out of Cal, was acquired in a trade with the Cavaliers.
Peck said Crabbe is the player most likely to see some time in Idaho next season.
The Blazers and Jazz will play a preseason game Oct. 11 at CenturyLink Arena, a game that should include the NCAA Player of the Year.
Trey Burke was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the ninth overall pick and dealt to the Jazz. The 6-1 point guard led Michigan to the national championship game.
Utah acquired two other players via trade Thursday night: Rudy Gobert, a power forward/center from France, and Raul Neto, a guard out of Spain.
Chris Langrill: 377-6424

The most charming "boutique" hotel
We selected Asheville to spend a few days with our son and daughter-in-law who live in Chicago and my husband and I who are from Florida. We immediately fell in love with this charming, hospitable, lovingly restored boutique hotel located in a residential area. The owner, his wife and the staff could not have been more helpful. The hotel is impeccable, suites are lovely. A small counter kitchen with great coffees, chocolates, cookies, water and luxury toiletries were supplied. The breakfasts were great. We visited the Biltmore Hotel and were so happy we did not stay there. This hotel is "user friendly". Howard Stafford and his wife told us all about the history of the hotel and were very helpful suggesting restaurants, places to see and made our four days together an unforgettable experience. A little five month old baby with big blue eyes added to the attraction! I highly recommend the Princess Anne for a most relaxing vacation.

Adam Lambert (Take 2)
Posted Oct 5, 2009 @ 12:39 PM
First and foremost: read the FAQ if you haven't already. Right now.
Secondly: this is a Web site about television. This particular forum is about Adam Lambert, his appearance on American Idol, his music career, and so forth.
It is NOT a place to get into pissing matches with other posters. It is NOT a place to bitch about other Web sites or what they're saying about him. It is NOT a place to act like a 12 year old schoolgirl or, for that matter, a disapproving parent.
In short - turn your enthusiasm / lack thereof about Adam down from "11". I don't care how you feel about Adam - I just expect this to be a sane discussion thread. If you cannot carry on a sane, rational, drama-free discussion with other posters... this may not be the site for you.
For those wondering - consider this a new starting point.

It was great to see Kelly, Nadia, Sauli and the whole audience all dancing and rocking out to Trespassing.
It was! My fave though was seeing the adorbs Josh Hutcherson who I adore (Peeta from the amazing Hunger Games and tonight's winner of the Next Mega Star award) shakin his butt and air guitaring a litte bit to Trespassing! Also, I swear in Josh's backstage interview that ran during the livestream in lieu of commercials that he said he met Adam at his show in Hawaii, did I hear that right? Also fascinating to see that beautiful androgynous model Andrej getting his groove on a bit during the song.
I just loved that whole performance, I thought Adam did absolutely fantastic!
ETA: Found the Josh Hutcherson interview (he's such a cutie) and when Michelle Collins asked him how things were downstairs he said he met the iconic RuPaul and also talked to Adam, saying he actually got to meet Adam at his concert when he was performing in Hawaii and Josh was there shooting, and awww he called Adam "so cool, he's such a nice guy." OMG fandoms collide!
And here's Adam's short but sweet interview with Michelle backstage, love her, her tendency to say innappropriate things made so many of the other peeps she interwiewed slightly awkward, but she and Adam have such a comfortable vibe together.

Directly from @AdamLambert's mouth: The next single is "Never Close Our Eyes" because "it received the most interest from radio."
Adam Lambert @adamlambert Reply Retweet Favorite ·
2nd Single off of Trespassing will be "Never Close Our Eyes"!
I'll be interested to see if RCA did a better job picking and promoting this single than they did with BTIKM. I wonder if this "interest from radio" actually results in regular spins, as opposed to lip service and contests to get Adam fans to click on sites to generate ad revenue.
I can't stand the song (as I've heard it so far), but wish good luck to him with it nonetheless.

I'm excited to hear the final version, since Adam said in an interview that the snippet is an earlier mix. Plus the snippet is only 90 seconds long or something, I want the whole thing like yesterday.
Fascinated by the single cover, Adam looks like a comic book/Sin City antihero! And that bright coloring is good for pulling people's eye toward it in everything from targeted ads to an itunes stamp.

He's book for another radio show in Chicago. So that's NYC, Chicago, Philly and Boston all CHR stations. Seems RCA is committed to me :)

Also fantastic news, Adam is up on Jimmy Kimmel's site for a perfomance on April 26th yay! Fans suspected Adam was finally off ABC's naughty list when he presented at the last AMA's, and I think that him booking Kimmel is further proof. The Kimmel staff were not quiet about the fact that the network wouldn't let them rebook Adam on their show even several months after the AMA fallout cancellation, so it's great to see that's no longer the case.

I was very heartened to read that. My next wish - is for Adam to guest star on Saturday Night Live. He is so perfect for that show.
I also think NCOE would be a perfect song for DWTS for the results show. The pro dancers could do a lot with that song.
I won't lie - I love Trespassing. That could be Adam's anthem. But I also loved FYE and that did not do well on radio. I thought WWFM was okay, but not my favorite - and that one took off. So, what I like is not necessarily the best choice for radio. I do like very much the snippet that Amazon has as opposed to the acoustic versions I have heard.
Whatever happens, Adam and Kimmel, Adam and Queen, Adam's second album debuting on May 15th - and whatever else we can look forward to - it is a good time to be an Adam Lambert fan! SO many goodies!!
ETA: The josepvina link won't work for me, but the soundcloud link did. All I can say is WOW!!!
I love it. LOVE it.

So snoozy, LOL
NOCE Long clip
When we met up with Adam Lambert (CLANG!) last year he played us an early version of this song.
"It's not finished!" he said.
Usually when people tell you songs 'aren't finished' in that sort of scenario it's in case you think the song doesn't sound much cop. Well 'Never Close Our Eyes' did sound quite cop so everything was alright but as it happens the Bruno Mars-penned song has changed quite a lot - Dr Luke's come in to 'do a Dr Luke' on the production, the whole thing bangs about 28% more than it did before.
Obviously the whole written-by-Bruno-Mars aspect of the tune means that it doesn't pack quite as much of a personal, Lambo-type punch as the songs Adam himself wrote for the rest of 'Trespassing', but sonically it's far more in line with the album's more electrifying moments, so it sets the stage pretty well for the July album release.
Here's some of the final final final actual finished version of 'Never Close Our Eyes'.
ETA: Full Song! He's gonna kill it live

I love Adam's second single! His voice sounds beautiful and amazing and just like himself on this finished track. I love this song much, much better than his first single. The song sounds just really vibrant and has a very good beat that is very uplifting and infectious. It really seems like the perfect song on the radio for summer fun and staying up late, and all the good times of summer. I hope so much and so hard that this song becomes a hit on the radio for Adam!
I'm excited about Adam's 4 concerts with Queen, but for some reason today, I'm most excited about the fact that Adam is going to be on Jimmy Kimmel! I'm so happy and excited about that. So he will most likely sing "Never Close Our Eyes" for the televised part of the concert. And then they usually have at least 1 or 2 more songs to watch online. I hope he sits down with Jimmy too for an interview. Oh, it's so great!
I also love the cover art for the single. I love all the "Trespassing" photo art so far- it's all stunning!
I saw three airings of Adam's performance on the NNN Awards. And I absolutely loved all of them! I was hoping for that for his next single, because it's so fierce! I hope that he performs it on Jimmy Kimmel too, and we can view online.
But I'm very happy with this song- it was my 2nd favorite pick for Adam's new single. Some sad news is that I never once heard Adam's first single on the radio! But I am full of optimism for this second single.

I have endless love for autumn in the Pacific Northwest: subtle fall color, lingering blue skies, and abundant harvest bounty at the local markets. It's enough to make the drizzly winters all worthwhile.
But you have to make the most of autumn because before you know it, there will be drizzle and grey skies for days.
That's why you should hit the road. Take an autumn road trip.
There's something magnetic about the varied scenery here that draws us out onto the open road. If you've got a cooler packed with snacks, a road map and a tank full of gas, you're ready to take a drive. The scenery steals the show, but leave time to get out and stretch your legs at some recommended stops along the way.
The North Cascades Scenic Highway
From the tulip fields of Skagit County to the wild west town of Winthrop, Highway 20 cuts across the rugged North Cascades and delivers an unrivaled variety of scenic beauty. Fall color heightens the scenery all the more – look for red maple along the lower Skagit River and spot golden larches near Rainy Pass. This highway closes in winter, usually sometime in November.
To begin this scenic drive, head east from I-5 through the town of Sedro-Woolley. You will start to see lush foothills of the North Cascades.
Next is the small town of Concrete, named for its economic history as a cement factory town. The cement factory is closed, but Concrete's cute downtown remains. Leonardo DiCaprio fans have flocked here for nearly 20 years; Concrete was the setting and filming location for a movie he starred in called This Boys Life, based on a memoir of the same name.
Got a kayak atop your car? Just to the north of Concrete is Lake Shannon providing pleasant kayak paddling with stunning views of Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan. If you love to paddle, this spot is fabulous.
If it's a picnic spot you're looking for, wait for Howard Miller Steelhead Park just up the road in Rockport where you can enjoy your lunch along the Skagit River. After lunch, cool off with a stop at Cascadian Farm's roadside stand for a cone of ice cream made from their organic berries (Open daily, May – October). It's the best.
From here, the landscape becomes more forested as you begin your ascent into the North Cascades. Along the Skagit River, fishermen cast for steelhead, the same salmon that draws hundreds of Bald Eagles to this corridor each winter. Navigate the sharp twists and hairpin turns as you increase in elevation, keeping your eye on the road as you steal glances at the stunning Cascade peaks and the aquamarine Diablo Lake.
Highway 20 bisects North Cascades National Park, so the scenery here is wild and pristine. Get up close to this wildness with a short hike along the Thunder Creek Trail near Diablo Lake. Back on the highway, continue east and watch for the turnout viewpoint at Washington Pass (elevation 5,477 feet), not to be missed for the views on a clear day.
As Highway 20 descends into the Methow Valley, the granite, glaciered peaks of the North Cascades give way to open Ponderosa Pine forest. Your scenic drive ends in the Western-themed town of Winthrop, just in time for dinner on the Chewuch River at the Old Schoolhouse Brewery.
