These cupcakes are beautiful! I'd love to own that cupcake book, but for now I'm rather content to look at these beauties. They're all adorable but my absolute favorite is the flower with the yellow sprinkles and the chocolate jimmies. Precious!

I love both the flowers AND the butterflies. The flowers look easy and cute- I could probably handle those. The butterflies intimidate me just a bit- they're gorgeous!

As always, I am drooling. Stunning. I was thinking, I could almost make these cupcakes myself until I saw the butterflies(laugh).
Happy Spring to you.

Right after I finished commenting, my curser must have done one of it's strange things and all of a sudden I was here seeing your pink and brown butterflies! You will never guess what I am posting today - pink and chocolate butterflies on top of cupcakes! Isn't that the funniest thing?
yours are great and they are fun along with the flower cupcakes. I just loved making them, they are works of art. - May 19, 2011 at 6:38 AM

"Very nice!"
Loved the room and hotel in general. Only drawback was the highway construction going on - made a 1.5 mile trip to a relative's house take a very long time! However, the hotel and its staff were wonderful!Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Nice hotel for the money"
Beds were not comfortable but everything else about the hotel was great. Good location except for all of the road construction. The free hot breakfast was good and the evening reception wasn't bad either.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"clean, comfortable room"
Room was clean, comfortable. I like that the sheets and duvets are cleaned for each guest. Seemed like a safe area, just a lot of construction. Breakfast was OK. I would stay again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

It's the usual Hampton Inn that I like Nd enjoy. The only common complain about this chain is their airconditoniing that is LOUD and hard to sleep when it turns on.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great hotel all around"
Even though our office is 20 minutes away and other hotels are closer, I always try to stay here. Staff is great and very accommodating, rooms are always clean, and beds are very comfortable.

"Great Value"
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Hampton Inn. We stayed in a suite whihc included a sofa couch which was perfect for our large family. The complimentray breakfast was outstanding. Happy Hour was even better with free wine, beer, hot wings, fruit and a cheese tray. Hampton Inn is now my hotel of choice. Everyone was friendly and very helpful.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great room at a great price."
The room and hotel were very clean. The only reason it didn't get a 5 star rating is because our AC was leaking water onto carpet and ran a little on the warm side. It is Texas though and very hot anyway.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
When we had a problem in the middle of one night, the person who took care of it was cranky and unpleasant. Other than that the service was good. Good breakfast! Had to change rooms after the first night, very noisy AC. They took care of the move without a problem.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Love the vibe!"
We were very comfortable during our stay. The room just felt peaceful and we were at home there. Awesome happy hour and breakfast too!!Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Home away from home"
My favorite hotels are Hampton Inns and this is no different. The staff was very welcoming and my family enjoyed the Happy Hour hor 'derves and drinks as well as the breakfast in the morning. The rooms are just beautiful and enjoyed the pool each day. Can't wait for another vacation!Expedia 真实住客点评
The whole issue of getting a place to stay went very well, called Expedia and told them I wanted a night at a Hampton with an indoor pool. Reservations were made at the Hurst location and we (my wife and I) we made the trip to Hurst from our home in Gun Barrel City, Texas. The staff (one person at the registration counter was very nice and accommodating. […] Enjoyed the stay and will return. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"highway under construction"
It would have been perfect if it wasn't for highway 820 being under construction. It was difficult getting in and out using the GPS when there was no exit to take due to construction. The hotel was great.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
I have been staying next door at the Hayatt Place And I have stayed next door at the Holiday Inn Express. The Hampton was by far the best.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"great place!"
We have stayed at this hotel twice now and both times have been wonderful. My only complaint is that I forgot a coat in the closet and the cleaning crew did not turn it in. Not surprising but hopefully it will turn up or its keeping someone warm :)Expedia 真实住客点评
The hotel was clean, comfortable, quiet, good breakfast etc. etc. The staff were friendly and very obliging. The free shuttle service was brilliant. Always on time. Free computer access was also fantastic. All in all, it was a top hotel and if I need to go to Hurst again, I will definitely stay there.Expedia 真实住客点评
"a room is not the same as a suite"
My only complaint is that we paid the extra money for a suite, but were given a normal room... When I called the front desk to make them aware of their mistake, I was LIED to and told that we were in fact given a suite... Having stayed at this hotel before, I know the difference... I'm sad to say I will not be staying there again, and I have to wonder […] if I would have been treated this way had I not booked with this site... 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Can you say HOT!"
The room keys did not work at all. Every time we left our room and had to get back in we had to go back down to the front desk to get new keys made and were lucky if they worked. The air conditioning was not working very well at all. Most of the time the room temperature was 78 degrees which made for a miserable stay!Expedia 真实住客点评
The only thing I would change was the morning breakfast. Average at best. Other than this very nice hotel.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Great Value"
My daughter and I stayed over just one night last weekend for a 1/2 marathon race in Ft Worth. Very clean hotel with a good location and great staff. The desk clerk told us where the nearest RedBox was as well as the local Target - both within 1 mile. The hotel is located next to the Hurst Police station and local hospital which was comforting....not […] much crime next to the police station of course. No DVD player in the room, which seemed odd. Very clean, big plasma TV, very nice beds/bedding and bathrooms. We'll definitely stay there again next trip to Ft Worth. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Good for price"
Th location of the hotel is in a great area..Right next to police station so you can feel safe in the area. Many restaurants in the local area. Went down for just one night to Six Flags and it was just the right amount of distance from there since the Rangers also had a game Saturday night. The pol was open when we got back to hotel around 10 but the […] hot tub was being worked on. The breakfast was good there in the hotel. They have many good late night snacks you can purchase for a great price also. All in all, it was a good hotelfor the price. I would reccomend staying there to anyone! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

The Hotel in Hurst TX was very clean. My room was very nice, they had put down new carpet. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to help us with anything we wanted. I travel to Texas every year with my children and would stay at the same hotel every time. Loved the people, the staff and the hotel.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
My stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites DFW West was an excellent experience. I was visiting from Florida for a wedding with my sons and unfamiliar with the area, the staff supplied me with easy directions, maps, along with recommendations for dining & site seeing.

"Hampton Inn in Hurst--about 8 miles from Stadium"
Nicest Hampton Inn we have stayed in. Very clean, newer, and conveniently located. There is free shuttle to/from DFW and within a 5 mile radius. Employees are very friendly and helpful, esp Natalie at front desk (Thanks Natalie!). Stayed for 3 days during Super Bowl. Beds very comfortable. Breakfast was nice as was "Happy Hour" evening before game--not […] sure if that is a regular feature or not. Would definately recommend to everyone. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Many adults, at one time or another, have experienced heartburn and an uncomfortable feeling in the chest after a big meal, or after eating spicy foods.
When these symptoms are frequent or can't be attributed to certain ingredients, they may be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). And the condition isn't just a problem for adults, it affects kids too. In infants, GERD can cause vomiting and fussiness after feeding. And in older kids and teens, GERD can lead to heartburn, stomach, and chest discomfort.
Most kids outgrow GERD on their own, but some cases require treatment.
The burping, heartburn, and spitting up associated with GERD are the result of acidic stomach contents moving backward into the esophagus (called reflux). This can happen because the muscle that connects the esophagus with the stomach (the esophageal sphincter) relaxes at the wrong time or doesn't properly close.
Many people have reflux regularly and it's not usually a cause for concern. But with GERD, reflux occurs more often and causes noticeable discomfort. After nearly all meals, GERD causes heartburn, also known as acid indigestion, which feels like a burning sensation in the chest, neck, and throat.
In babies with GERD, breast milk or formula regularly refluxes into the esophagus, and sometimes out of the mouth. Sometimes babies regurgitate forcefully or have "wet burps."
Most babies outgrow GERD between the time they are 1 and 2 years old. But in some cases, GERD symptoms persist. Kids with developmental or neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, are more at risk for GERD and can have more severe, lasting symptoms.
Heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD in kids and teens. It can last up to 2 hours and tends to be worse after meals. In infants and young children, GERD can lead to problems during and after feeding, including:
These symptoms may be worse if a baby lies down or is placed on in a car seat after a meal.
Some children develop complications from GERD. The constant reflux of stomach acid can lead to:
Because these complications can make eating painful, GERD can interfere with proper nutrition. So if your child isn't gaining weight as expected or is losing weight, it's important to talk with your doctor.
In older kids, doctors usually can diagnose GERD by doing a physical exam and hearing about the symptoms. Try to keep track of the foods that seem to bring on symptoms in your child - this information can help the doctor determine what's causing the problem.
In younger children and babies, doctors might run these tests to diagnose GERD or rule out other problems:
Treatment for GERD depends on the type and severity of a child's symptoms.
In babies, doctors sometimes suggest lightly thickening the formula or breast milk with rice cereal to reduce reflux. Making sure the baby is in a vertical position (seated or held upright) during feedings can also help.
Older kids often get relief by avoiding foods and drinks that seem to trigger GERD symptoms, including:
Doctors may recommend raising the head of a child's bed 6 to 8 inches to minimize reflux that occurs at night. They may also try to address other conditions that can contribute to GERD symptoms, including obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, and certain medications.
If these measures don't help relieve the symptoms, the doctor may also prescribe medication, such as H2 blockers, which can help block the production of stomach acid, or proton pump inhibitors, which reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces.
In rare cases, when medical treatment alone doesn't help and a child is failing to grow or develops other complications of reflux, a surgical procedure called fundoplication may be an option. The procedure involves creating a valve at the top of the stomach by wrapping a portion of the stomach around the esophagus.
If your child is experiencing symptoms of GERD, talk with your doctor. With proper diagnosis and treatment, a child can get relief from GERD symptoms and avoid longer-term health problems.

Hurley's Restaurant and Bar
Online Reservations
We enjoy the food and great service every time we are in Napa Valley. Mid-Westerners get tired of CA. cuisine quickly. Don't miss the short ribs.
My husband and I dined there our first night in Yountville this year. Excellent food and awesome service without being pretentious. It was a very comfortable ambience! Loved it :) Mary
I have visited Napa many many times, and I always go back to Hurley's for their amazing food, wine, service and atmosphere. There are so many restaurants to choose from, but Hurleys is always the best!! :)
The best service bar none. Everybody from the waterboy to the floor manager were fantastic. Order a glass of wine and it actually showed up in 3 minutes. Sit down to appetizer and drinks in less than 10 minutes. Food was great too, especially the buffalo short ribs and calamari fritters. Would definitely come back when in the Napa Valley.
Lives up to its reputation...bur needs better coffee!
We had a bit of trouble with our reservation, which somehow hadn't been received. However the manager stepped in and took care of us personally. Our meal was outstanding--the wild boar is delicious. An excellent local wine list, and very attentive wait staff.
My wife and I enjoyed our dinner at Hurley's. The food was delicious and the server was very attentive but not overbearing. We would highly recommend the restaurant for others seeking great food at a decent price
Good place right in Yountville. Swung by for an early dinner with no problem. Food was good and staff was good. They have a nice outdoor seating area. The wild boar plate was okay, tasted the same as a pot roast. The potato gnocchi was great.
Great Place to have dinner in the center of Yountville. Outdoor patio is wonderful, the food was great. Had a very good time!
Very good food. My sister had the salmon and I had the buffalo short ribs. We thought both dishes were really good. I had to force myself to finish my dish even though I was so full because the food was too good! Our server is the best server I've ever met. Too bad I didn't get his name. He's Hispanic, if that helps, very gracious and friendly and takes good care of his customers. It's an excellent restaurant. Had no problem being seated even though we arrived 25 minutes before our 6:30 pm reservation.
The hardest part of the night was selecting from so many excellent choices. All of us were thrilled with our choices and can't wait to make a return trip.
Service is excellent and staffing willing and helpful in providing recommendations. A place to return.
Ended up here at the last second. GREAT place. A little something of everything. If you want fine dining it is there, if you want a burger and fries that is there too. Great menu mix. Been to Napa many times and not sure why this was the first time dining here but it will not be my last
We went there for dinner, to celebrate our 10th Anniversary....when I made my reservations online, I asked if there was anything special they could do for us, we would really appreciate it! So when we were seated, they put us in a nice spot outside (and the weather was perfect!) ....they wished us a happy anniversary, which shocked my husband since he didn't know the special request I put in. The service was excellent....every employee we were in contact with was great....wonderful personalities. The food was yummy....we started off with crab cakes, then I had the roast boar and my husband had the black bucatini...and for dessert...they surprised us with a warm piece of chocolate cake with ice cream and lots of caramel sauce, with a candle!
My husband and I have eaten at Hurley's many times. We have always been very pleased with the food and service. Hurley's wild boar is amazing. The waiters are always very knowledgeable and friendly. As always, an excellent evening.
We had a fantastic meal with a great waiter! We brought our own wine - they have no corkage fee. A little pricey, but all the restaurants in the area are.
We had a wonderful lunch on the patio and enjoyed great food and terrific sunshine! We have been to Hurleys before for a mid afternoon casual meal in the bar (which was very good as well). We came back with friends after a tour and tasting at a nearby winery and enjoyed a terrific lunch Sunday afternoon. We especially liked the assortment of daily specials; two of us elected the option of two courses for $22 (soup or salad with the Moroccan beef as an entree which was fabulous). The guys had burgers, which they really enjoyed as well!
Everytime we come to Napa Valley, we have to hit Hurley's. My favorite item has always been the Wild Boar....consistenly delicious! My wife usually mixes it up with something else on the menu & has never been dissapointed. We've never sat at the bar, but always see a lot of people eating & having a great time. We've been told it's a great place to have their burger. Hurley's has a nice local wine list, but we've always brought our own wine & have never been charged a corking fee. We reciprocate with a nicer tip. The staff is excellent & accommodating. Everyone there, from the minute you walk in the door, including the open kitchen, is friendly & prepared to give you a great dining experience. Ambiance is classy & warm. Casual & comfortable.
I love the outdoor dining area - right in the heart of Yountville. They are dog friendly, which is a plus. I have eaten here several times and the food is always spot on. The Wild Mushroom Soup was delicious and I really enjoyed the Rosemary & Maple Roasted Chicken. My husband usually selects a fish form the 'specials list' and is never disappointed. The sauces always compliment the fish very nicely. They is a nice selection of local wines.
We ate on the patio on a pleasant, warm evening. We enjoyed the experience, the food, and the service.
This Yountville gem is still going strong. I used to hit it late night after shows, but thoroughly enjoyed the lunch menu. Did the 2 course for $20 option with a nice salad, and steak and fries. It was really well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Others in my party had the pumpkin risotto -stunningly delicious, the calamari, and the burger. Everyone enjoyed! We didn't have cocktails this trip, but have enjoyed the bar, and the wine list on many occasions. Hadn't been to Hurley's in a while, and I must say, it didn't disappoint.
I can't say enough good things about Hurley's. The food was amazing, and beautifully presented, my pumpkin risotto was served in a mini pumpkin. We ate outside, and as it got chillier, out waitress had the heater brought over and gave us blankets! I would highly recommend Hurley's.
We particularly enjoy wild game and the Hurley's always has something to choose from. This time they had wild boar and buffalo short ribs. I had the boar and my wife the ribs both were outstanding.
After a great afternoon of wine tasting, Hurley's was the perfect choice. Reservations were easy to make. Upon arrival, we were greeted and shown to our table in a timely fashion. The server's response to our needs was well done and our water glasses were never empty. For dinner we had the family style macaroni and cheese, special steak, halibut, and chicken. Allot the dishes were delish and plentiful. Desert was a special treat, cinnamon pastry with a scoop of fig gelato and also a plate of hazelnut filled ice cream sandwiches. Bottom line: wonderful service, delicious food, reasonable pricing. We will definitely be back soon.
Comped glass of champagne, waived the corkage fee and the service was stellar. The wild texas boar pairs well with a big bold cab. Ahi.tuna was excellent as well. Nice spin on an ice cream sandwich for dessert. We will definitely go back.
We ate here on a recent trip to Napa. After a hot air balloon trip and a day of wine tasting we were ready for a nice meal. Hurleys came well recommended and for good reason. The food was amazing as was our waiter. The waiter (I sadly forget his name) was the most passionate waiter we have had in a long time. He described the dishes we such detail and enthusiasm that we wanted to eat everything on the menu. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that we were seated in the back room at approximately 6pm when we were the only ones in there. As such the ambiance was a little quiet. However somebody has to be the first to sit in the back room. The front was very busy. In the future we would request a table out the front.
We ate lunch on Hurley's outside patio. A trio of diners sat to my right and one row back, one lady had a small dog in her lap. She later requested water for the dog. I was not happy to be in a restaurant on their patio where they served food and allowed pets. I like pets bet not when I am paying to eat out. The patio was an enclosed area. When I left i asked the manager about the pets and he said it was allowable. I would not return to the restaurant, even though the food and service were very good, we have had lunch at this restaurant several times in the past.
The menu offered familiar items as well as items unknown. We were in an adventurous mood and ordered the Wild Boar with polenta & Buffalo ribs with risotto & both were excellent. Best of all "No Corkage". The service was attentive but not hovering & our server was well versed in the menu. Don't know why I have not been to Hurley's before.
We had the filet special and short ribs. The steak was better than the short ribs but both were very nice. The vegetables were great, and the wine by the glass menu was diverse. We had one red we did not care for and the staff was happy to switch it at no cost without even asking. I would recommend it to others but I also think I will try other restaurants on my next trip to Yountville.
Hurley's is, without exception, the culinary hot spot that we look forward to the most. The menu and atmosphere is always fantastic and we look forward to introducing new friends to it during the holidays every year. Hurley's is our favorite place to go for a romantic meal or special occasion with friends.
Hurley's has a wild game week every year - my husband loves it! This year he chose the leg of antelope. I enjoy it because I can still order off their regular menu since I'm not a fan of wild game. Perfect! We go every year in addition to enjoying Hurley's regular menu throughout the year.
Wild Game Week at Bob Hurley's is better than Great. Cancel your other plans and get a reservation. Whether you want lively spot eating among foodies in the bar, or special romantic date for 2 this is your place. Foodies will love the mushroom pumpkin risotto and the Wild Boar. Venison men will let you order another glass of wine, they will be so happy you picked this place.
We usually try to make the Wild Game Week. Tonight we had the Venison Carpoccio and the Buffalo Ribeye. Both tasted great. Service was prompt without being rushed. I would have liked to have a choice of some wines from other countries and areas. We did find a nice Merlot from Napa Valley. Most of there wines are from Napa Valley and surrounding area. We had a nice after dinner drink and Gelato for dessert. I really enjoyed my Ribeye, but my wife was turned off by the toughness. Turns out it was the Steak knife not being sharp. I just had her left overs and it was still tender as can be, especially with a sharp knife. We will be back next Wild Game week or when we see a Build your own Bloody Mary Bar.
The title says it all. I have never been disappointed at Hurley's. The food is always wonderful, whether it is my favorite comfort food ( the Wild Boar) off the regular menu, the special Wild Game Week, or just a daily special. If you have room for dessert, I recommend the (not your typical) Ice Cream Sandwich; but they're all great.
Went for lunch on the last day of wild game week. Food was inventive and expertly prepared. Service was improved over previous visits. Not very busy, easy to get a reservation.
We have been going to Big Game week at Hurleys for years now. The food is always amazing! The service is attentive and intuitive, with friendly and knowledgable waitstaff. The food is almost too beautiful to eat, but once you try it you won't want to stop! Go early in the week for the best selection, they run out fast! The only small annoyance was the very wobbly table. The waitress tried to fix it, but it didn't work. Otherwise a wonderful night.
I've dined at Hurley's ~10 times and it is consistently outstanding. The menu changes with the seasons and is served at the right temperature. The staff is accommodating and gives honest opinions of offerings. The restaurant is charming and cozy yet classy. I haven't had the opportunity to dine outside but maybe when the weather is warmer I'll make a point to request. We love that we can bring in our own wine with NO corkage fee!!! Can't beat it. I've referred several people to Hurley's - it's that good.
Consistently great food and service. Always enjoy the experience.
Hurley's was and is the most fantastic restaurant for that special dinner. There were 4 of us and we each brought a special wine. The service was amazing and the food was totally awesome. Go to Hurley's for an extraordinary experience.
We had the onion tart (with bacon, goat cheese, and a little salad of frisee and tomatos), chicory salad (with roasted squash cubes, goat cheese, candied pistachios, and a cider vinaigrette), and wild boar braised until it was fork-tender, served with roasted root veggies and crispy onions. Everything was made with quality ingredients, prepared with skill. Maybe not as fancy or technologically-enhanced as some of its neighbors (like French Laundry), but exactly the kind of fresh, quality food that the region is known for. Our server was very friendly and helpful (one of us has a mild food allergy, which he helped accomodate), and the manager also stopped by our table to ask how our meal was going.
This is a great ending to a day in the wine country. The bar area is lively and the dining is relaxed and not to noisy. We have been here several times and the service is alway helpful and friendly. The menu has some great selections and many times will have one or two selections out of the ordinary, such as wild boar or antelope ribs. I had the antelope ribs this time and they were excellent. Not gamey and very tender. We will definitely be back.
Hurley's is always great -- the crabcakes and mussels cooked with sausage can't be beat. The corned beef sandwich also got at A+ rating. Wines from their list are consistent winners. We tried a Merlot and an Argentine Malbec from by-the-glass list and enjoyed both. For dessert, we had scoops of sorbet -- the black currant was amazing, and a beautiful color. Service is friendly -- no Napa County pretentiousness here. They're especially kind and patient with older folks.
This is my third visit to Hurley's. The food, service and ambience are great and I highly recommend it.
We've been going to Hurley's on Thanksgiving for six years. Our table for two was next to the stone fireplace and the turkey dinner was scrumptious. The first course was a Dungenous crab and avocado salad, followed by our main course of tender turkey w/ all the fixin's. For dessert w/had the traditional pumpkin pie w/a dollop of whipped cream topped by candied, chopped pecans. Of course they always have a basket of sliced homemade bread with an olive and balsamic vinegar dipping sauce. Our server was so sweet and natural that she could have been a family member. We appreciate the chef''s ability to turn out a homecooked meal that is both delicious and easy on the wallet. Dining at Hurley's is an overall great experience.
We had a great time, food was great! I just love how when I make a reservation on Open Table...they always honor my request...I always ask for a quiet table on all my reservations....and 90 % of the Restaurants greet me with Hello...Christine...we have a quiet table for you over here. Makes me so happy!
We are local so Hurley's is one of our favorite restaurants. A combination of great ambiance and great food with an excellent selection from the menu.Our party of five had the short-ribs and New York steak; both were excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant!
So many to choose from but put this on your list. Food was amazing. I had the crab which was not the best choice b/c it's messy and you don't get a lot of food (I like to eat) but it was delicious. My husband had the short ribs which were incredible!!! Great ambiance too.
Celebrated our 47th here and couldn't have had a nicer dining experience! Service was great, warm, friendly, inviting. We'll be back! Food was wonderful. Had the N.Y. strip steak and it was done to perfection!
It's Dungeness crab season and Chef Bob Hurley has come up with some great appetizers and entrees. Especially delightful was the cioppino, a moderately spicy seafood stew with a substantial portion of crab, mussels, clams, shrimp, and scallops. Service, as always, was impeccable.
Although there was a large noisy group in the adjoining room we could chat and were not hurried at all. The service was attentive, but allowed us our visiting time. We enjoyed several of the crab extravaganza dishes....well done!

Jennifer Lawrence takes aim at Oscar rivals on Saturday Night Live

JENNIFER LAWRENCE poked fun at her Oscar rivals while hosting comedy show SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE in America.
The Hunger Games star held nothing back as she took aim at fellow Best Actress nominees Naomi Watts (The Impossible), Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), young Quvenzhane Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) and French actress Emmanuelle Riva (Amour) in her opening monologue.
Lawrence quipped, "Jessica Chastain... in Zero Dark Thirty, you caught bin Laden, so what; in Winter's Bone, I caught a squirrel and then I ate it...! Naomi Watts, you know what else is impossible - you beating me on Oscar night."
She then turned on nine-year-old Wallis, adding, "You think you can beat me? What are you talking about, Wallis? Also, the alphabet called; they want their letters back," and concluded by stating Riva is "an 85-year-old French lady, yeah I think I can take you. You know what I say about your Oscar chances, Emmanuelle? Emmanuel Riva-derci!"
Lawrence qualified each catty remark by stating how much she admired her Oscar competition, making sure they all knew she was joking.
The actress is nominated for her role in Silver Linings Playbook.
During her stint on SNL on Saturday (19Jan13), Lawrence also reprised her Hunger Games character Katniss Everdeen for a press conference comedy skit and she also took on Cate Blanchett's Elf Queen role in a Hobbit spoof.

They are new and very real concerns right now for the millions of victims of super storms -- Tomorrow marks one week since sandy barreled onshore.
And still massive power outages exist the gasoline shortages are choking this cities and all the surrounding areas.
Leaving a lot of people in need of the most basic supplies and they are desperate for help they don't want to be ignored or forgotten in the course of -- -- going not.
So listen to these people who are in the hard hit area of Staten Island New York listen.
-- -- -- There's only two things we're worried about was the cold and the looters and it is almost a whole neighborhood is -- -- ones footing in front of the other and keep on moving it'll get better.
If you will get better.
You will get better with the latest on the relief efforts Gail McGovern.
President of the American Red Cross -- -- thank you very much for being let us today.
And for all that you are doing to help those people out there tell it tell us you know what the situations like right now.
And where you're able to help and where you're still having difficulty getting help.
Well this has been a massive operation -- it is incredible and on the -- -- the entire American Red Cross.
Our hearts just go out to people who have lost everything even loved ones and it's just heartbreaking.
We have.
Mobilized about 300 emergency response vehicles that are.
Riding around in the affected area -- -- about sixteen of them there and Staten Island.
Going in -- out of the affected areas delivering meals.
Clean up kits.
There's a shelter stood up there and Staten Island but I think I can tell you that.
Come through -- solid week since the storm hit landfall there have been at least 101000.
Living in shelters to see affected area is actually.
The size of the continent of Europe.
So they've been 101000 people plus and shelters.
And we've already as of last night served a half a million meals and snacks so.
We are hard at work trying to get to every affected area to give -- much much needed help.
He you know you hear the cries for help and and so many people are so grateful obviously.
-- -- these are volunteers.
And and you off.
Are fueled by donations.
Across this country and I would encourage people to continue to bring in those donations to help people but you know there are places where they're saying where's our help.
What about us Staten Island the rockaway is queens.
And they they want to know why you know why why the Red Cross even in some cases is not there what do you what -- tell them.
Well first to vote we are they are now.
But I have to say it was difficult breaking through and I understand their frustration because when the storm first hit -- aren't there.
And it it broke our hearts.
We were tied up with the same challenges that.
-- New Yorkers were facing he -- shortages of fuel snarled traffic.
I'm falling down trees but we are in -- areas now.
Our volunteers.
Reported in -- they're literally walking meals over falling down trees.
It's very very difficult and when you've lost everything and you haven't seen help.
It's frustrating it's frightening.
It's it's heartbreaking but -- -- in those areas now we're doing our absolute best to.
Help every single person in need and you know I just I wish I could click my fingers and put it.
Some in front of every single doorstep that's been impacted by this storm.
Yeah we have -- 5000.
Volunteers in the affected area and our volunteers are amazing at 8 -- -- their families -- pack up.
They they come from almost all fifty states we have people that have just come from everywhere to.
To try to how -- and it it's.
Annoying operation and as and -- regulate -- why I'm helpless this morning and I and went on your website made a donation it was very quick and easy to do on my phone so I encourage people to do that.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Thank you Martha thank you so much and thanks cajun nation and it's only second do you think -- much --

i think I would be considered your biggest fan in the state of Alabama. i have seen you perform several times in the states. I am really crazy about some of the early records, like Cosmic Messenger, Mystical Adventures and Civilized Evil. I wanted to ask you how it came to be that you hooked up with Randy Jackson. As a bass player myself...I think his work with you was brilliant. And I cant wait until your next North American tour!!!????Sep 22, 2013 1:13am -
Another news story
Two sources (Oakland Press; and the Tribune {Pittsburgh}) have Jean-Luc appearing on the latest Jeff Lorber CD, "Hacienda", in a tribute to Frank Zappa's "King Kong". Let's hope these news sources are more reliable than the one earlier this summer, which had JLP appearing on a new CD by John Oates (of pop's Hall and Oates)! After all, if it's on the Internet, it must be true, right??Sep 16, 2013 2:08am -
Online videos, Lotus Feet
Chris Devine
I feel a bit contrite mentioning a YouTube video in context with JLP's most recent (and right-on) post about the proliferation of videos- but I was moved to write after watching the clip of "Lotus Feet" with J McL and Zakir Hussain in Turkey - I've always wanted to hear you do this tune, what a treat, and now I'll be playing in E Aeolian for the rest of the day. Ah, the intonation - you just never miss (at least in public!) You've inspired me to get to work when I was feeling lazy today. Hope you are well Grand Maitre!Sep 12, 2013 11:09pm -
I want to express my thanks for sharing with us the new video with JLP and Clara. I really enjoyed hearing Clara's jazz inflections on JLP's compositions. I also enjoyed the use of acoustic bass, particularly on To And Fro. It looked like everyone was enjoying themselves, even when the wind got hold of some sheet music. Thanks also to those who make the JLP experience possible-office staff, webmaster, and others. We appreciate all you do for us and JLP.Sep 12, 2013 12:51am -
Louvigné du désert 35 France
Cher Jean-Luc, Après avoir eu la chance de te voir à Coutances en 1994, c'est avec un immense plaisir que j'ai pu assister de nouveau à l'un de tes nombreux concerts, j'aurais presque pu te voir à Yaroslavl en Russie, ayant de la famille là-bas, mais je n'ai pu m'y rendre. Merci pour cette merveilleuse soirée à toi ainsi qu'aux menbres du groupe,j'écoute ta musique dupuis l'age de 12 ans , j'en ai 42, et étant adepte de la période "fusion" ce concert de Cormeil était comme fait pour moi. Je sais que ton coeur était lourd ce soir là, après la disparition de ton grand ami George Duke, et je l'ai moi meme ressenti profondément au travers de ton jeu ce soir là, et pendant quelques jours. lorsque j'ai quitté la salle après la dernier morceau, je me suis soudainement senti très seul et ému, j'aurais tellement aimé pouvoir discuter quelques minutes avec vous, et j'ai beaucoup repensé à ce rappel sur la route du retour. Merci pour ta musique, et j'attends déja pour le prochain concert:)Sep 9, 2013 10:53pm -

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Jean-Luc for the loss of a dear friend and musician. I'm sure Jean-Luc would have met George in Turkey earlier this year during the International Jazz Festival. This is a very sad day for the entire music industry and I'm sure fond memories will prevail of what has been built over the years. Currently, I'm listening to the spirited George Duke solo in Jean Luc's album 'INDIVIDUAL CHOICE' - the track IN SPIRITUAL LOVE.Aug 7, 2013 4:36pm -

Gogol Bordello at Riot Fest 2012 | Photos and live music review
I first saw Gogol Bordello at Toad's Place, a popular, little club in New Haven, CT. I was in high school, not yet much of a drinker, and the crowd was one of the rowdiest and most intoxicated I'd ever seen. I remember being a bit nervous at first. I crowd surfed for the first time—before the band had even started. And for the first couple of tunes, I feared for my life. But once I got my sea legs, that show turned into one of the greatest parties I've attended to this day. And on Sunday night, Gogol Bordello threw the single greatest outdoor shindig it has been my privilege to attend, beating Andrew WK at his own game—mostly because they weren't trying so damn hard. Gogol Bordello already is a party; they don't have to write songs about it to convince us.
I don't want to belabor the European "Gypsy" element of Gogol's live show, as it's only a piece of their brilliant equation and they are, technically, from New York. But part of what makes Gogol Bordello so powerful, spectacular, and, most of all, accessible, is the fact that this music takes us out of our comfort zone. It's got a sinister element, odd changes, beats that couldn't sound more out of place in an American club setting, and Eugene Hutz's accent is nothing if not thick. But it is this very notion of alienation that unites the Gypsy punks' audience and kills a concertgoer's inhibitions. There is no cool way to dance to this music. Therefore, anything goes. Just ask Iggy Pop: discomfort works.
I weep for anyone who didn't work their way to the pit for this one. I really do. I have never experienced anything like a Gogol Bordello mosh pit, and I probably never will again. I saw pogoing, klezmer dancing, a sweaty man in the top half of a fuzzy Simba costume, a near-constant circle pit, and many a shirtless dude and dudette—all of them friendly as can be. Gogol Bordello managed to galvanize their crowd in ways most bands will never achieve, through songs most bands don't know how to write—and not just because they aren't from the Ukraine.
Musicianship is a huge part of it. Everyone in this band is at the top of their game, from fiddle, to accordion, to emceeing in Spanish. But despite being a perfectly watchable and entertaining band in their own right, a Gogol show, much like an EDM concert, is all about the audience coming together. And with choruses that a newbie could memorize by their third repetition, you truly have to resist participation in order to miss out on the glory of Gogol. How do you get a crowd to party? Don't order them to, Andrew. It makes us self-conscious. Just get the kids to dance. The rest will follow.

No debate activity to show. Maybe ScottGyurina should get in the game and start debating?
A fan of the Yankees since first donning the uniform on my first baseball team as a 5 year old in 1982, I instantly fell in love with the legendary pinstripers. When I luckily got a Don Mattingly rookie card in the first pack of baseball cards I ever got in 1984, my fate was sealed.
Of course, being a Yankee fan in the heart of Angel country in Southern California is never easy, as one often gets labeled a "bandwagon fan" or worse, more obscene titles. Throughout much of my youth though, the Yankees were terrible, consistently languishing lower in the standings. Since they missed the playoffs from 1982-1994, winning had little to do with it.
How many fans are willing to take the train 3,000+ miles from LA to NYC just to watch their team play? Exactly...
Greater than my specific love for the Yankees is my passion for the game of baseball in general. In my opinion, it is the perfect sport and I remain a dedicated follower of the game in general, allowing me to be an educated, reasonable fan beyond just my dedication to the Bronx Bombers.
I have played baseball and soccer throughout my entire 33 years on earth and have always enjoyed each sport with a diligent eye for detail and analysis. My passion for both sports has survived well into adulthood as I still enjoy playing, and helping to coach my daughter's soccer teams.
In addition to being a passionate athlete and sports fan, I have also had a lifelong love of the written word, reading and writing as much as possible throughout the years.
Occasionally, I have grown frustrated with what often seems like an anti-intellectual slant to a lot of the sports debate and writing that I have encountered in my lifetime.
Drawing inspiration from conversations with friends, family, a former boss who knew me well, I have finally taken the step of pursuing two of my greatest passions concurrently, trying my hand at sports-writing.
I hope to infuse my writing with a passion for sports, love of quality writing and detailed analysis, helping to create intelligent, thought-provoking content that I hope you'll enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing.

As time goes by, Gwen falls in love with Dalton, and he reciprocates. Upon his release, however, Dalton breaks off with Gwen in favor of a sweetheart closer to his own age, college student Tamara (Kandyse McClure). But by now, Gwen's affection has morphed into an unhealthy obsession, and she is fully willing to destroy Dalton rather than see him slip through her fingers.

UPDATE: The Minnesota Timberwolves have confirmed that Rubio will join them for the 2011-12 season. The Wolves will have a formal press conference at the Target Center on Tuesday (6/21).
According to sources, the future point guard of the Minnesota Timberwolves: Ricky Rubio has reached an agreement for a buyout from his team: Regal FC Barcelona and is all set to join the TWolves in the NBA.
Tomorrow (Friday, June 17th), Rubio is expected to announce his departure at a press conference in Spain.
Rubio, the Wolves & Barcelona were able to meet the May 31st deadline for Ricky to be paid his rookie salary. Had he not signed by the 31st, he would have been under the new rules of the Collective Bargaining Agreement-whatever they may be…
In order for Rubio to come play he had to be granted permission from his, now former, team-Barcelona, who had to get approval from FIBA which had to be sent to NBA Commissioner David Stern who had to sign off on the entire 'thing'.
After all that and two years of waiting, Wolves fans and the rest of the NBA will finally get a chance to see Ricky Rubio in action.
Ricky has been compared to Pete "Pistol Pete" Maravich, for not only his physical attributes, but also his flashy passing, ballhandling skills & floor vision. Rubio stands at 6-4 and has a wingspan of 6-9 as he'll turn just 21 years old in October.
According to sources, David Stern still has to give his approval, but they're saying that's simply a formality: "It's done!"
Stay tuned all year round for your TWolves news, information & updates, remember to tune in daily. Thanks for reading and GO WOLVES!

Reasons for running:
- There is something very freeing about running. Some days it's about getting up early, plugging in, turning it up, and cranking out the distance to see how far you can push yourself. Or I run at night on country roads with the music turned down, or even off and enjoy the cool night air and the stars and no one else around.
- Health. I want to be healthier. I want to be skinnier, but I want to go about it the right way.
- It is good for improving my self discipline and my drive for success. When you're hurting and feel like you're dying inside, and you've still got that mile to go, that's when you reach in and pull on that strength you never dreamed you had.
- I have always admired runners. Now I want to be one. I want to be able to run with my running friends, do 5ks, do 15ks, do marathons. I want to feel that burn, fill that unquenchable thirst for the pavement under my feet, and the feeling of complete success and fulfillment a finish line brings.
- I just love running..

Remember the wild Kralik Tango I posted 20 days ago?
It so happens I already have the vase above, but in orange with yellow prunts and rim (see postings). This one was too good to pass. Only 4.75" tall, it will make a dandy pair, which will serve as a garniture to the Wild One. A permanent color riot!
Not the Wild One. Notice that the small red has the same shape as the tall orange, and the prunts of the small orange. An awesome trio.

THE MAROON VOL. 83, NO. 16 ;n LOYOLA UNIVERSITY NEW ORLEANS FEBRUARY 18, 2005 Play stirs up controversy 'Vagina Monologues' draws packed crowd for V-Day performance By Tara Templeton Staff writer What was supposed to finally be a middle ground to the "Vagina Monologues" controversy, which started last year with the Rev. William Byron, S.J., interim president, turned out to be only a continuation of the dispute. After a cancellation made by Byron and one year of protests, Loyola finally participated in V-day on Monday — The event primarily raises money for charities and focuses on stopping violence against women. The culmination of the V-day activities was a performance of "The Vagina Monologues," which was co-sponsored by the Women Issues Organization and Alpha Psi Omega. Monday's performance was welcomed by a packed house, which consisted of students, faculty and a range of community members. According to English senior and Women's Issues Organization copresident Parisa Memarian, the play raised about $1,600 for Crescent House. The Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., university president, said the approval of the on-campus performance of the controversial play was a heavy point of focus within Loyola. While the campus response has been mostly positive, Wildes has received some biting criticism for his decision. On Wednesday, Archbishop Alfred Hughes admonished Wildes for allowing the production to be performed on campus. In an interview with WWL-TV, Hughes called the play "contrary to Catholic teaching" and stated that Wildes' decision to allow it on campus was regrettable. "I would be unfaithful to my charges as archbishop if I did not state publicly that 'The Vagina Monologues' is offensive to sound Catholic teaching," Hughes said. In addition, "The National Review" published an editorial by Kathryn Jean Lopez chastising Wildes for allowing the performance not only at Loyola University New Orleans but also for allowing it to take place at Georgetown University while he was a professor of ethics. Lopez wrote that "The Vagina Monologues" was a "weird, sick little play." "The Vagina Monologues" has been deemed inappropriate by many people because of its graphic language and sexual scenes, particularly in one monologue involving a sexual encounter between a 24-year-old woman and a 16-year-old youth. However, V-day performances of the play have occurred at more than 600 colleges across the country, including Jesuit schools such as Loyola University Chicago, St. Louis University and Fordham University. Although the Loyola Women's Issues Organization first became involved in the V-day program during the fall semester of 2003, production of the play was shut down after Byron advised that the performance not take place and suggested that the organization find another means of fundrais- Residential life hopes to finally move Carrollton residents onto seventh floor Misplaced students await relocation five months after scheduled By Adam Hennessey Staff writer The first real sign of progress may finally be in sight for the residents of Carrollton Hall. The university is hoping to begin moving students from the sixth floor to the newly renovated seventh floor on March 5, four months after the first proposed moving date, according to Robert Reed, residential life director. The seventh floor of the former New Res building originally was to be completed by late October. The completion date has since been pushed back three times, Reed said. The Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., university president, explained that in addition to the unexpected problems with the physical construction on Carrollton, the holdup has been the result of the ongoing lawsuit filed by Loyola against MAPP Construction, Inc., Travelers Property and Causality Insurance, Eskew + A Professional Corporation, and Einhorn Yaffes Prescott Architecture and Engineering, P.C., the parties responsible for the dorm's construction flaws. Many of those named in the suit have filed other lawsuits in response, which have resulted in site inspections and hindered the progress of the construction crews, Wildes said. "The pace has been slowed by all of the lawsuits and countersuits and the need for testing. While I understand why the defendants want to do all this testing, I think it could be done in a more expeditious manner," Wildes said. "We have done everything we can to move the litigation forward and move towards a settlement." The university's suit states that the building's design allowed moisture to seep into the walls, leading to the growth of mold and mildew. The completion of the seventh floor's construction does not signal the end of the inconveniences for Carrollton's residents. Many students who signed residential life contracts to live in upperclassmen apartments will never get the opportunity to live there. STAFF PHOTO BY ANN HERMES After several setbacks, the sixth floor residents of Carrollton Hall may finally have a moving date. The seventh floor construction has taken several more months than expected. Harris promises task force will sort out funds By Nicole Waivers Staff writer The university is developing a task force responsible for reviewing and integrating various aspects of Loyola, though some members of the faculty are skeptical about its necessity. Faculty and staff met to discuss the issue at a town hall meeting Tuesday. The task force will function similarly to the University Planning Team and the Standing Council for Academic Planning, which provides reason to question its significance, according to Mary Blue, associate professor of communications.

She was far more than just a pretty face. . . .
Although Nefertiti is the dutiful daughter of a commoner, her inquisitive mind often gets her into situations that are far from ordinary, like receiving secret lessons from a scribe. And her striking beauty garners attention that she'd just as soon avoid, especially when it's her aunt, the manipulative Queen Tiye, who has set her sights on Nefertiti. The queen wants to use her niece as a pawn in her quest for power, so Nefertiti must leave her beloved family and enter a life filled with courtly intrigue and danger. But her spirit and mind will not rest as she continues to challenge herself and the boundaries of ancient Egyptian society. With control of a kingdom at stake and threats at every turn, Nefertiti is forced to make choices and stand up for her beliefs in ways she never imagined.
As she did in Nobody's Princess and Nobody's Prize, author Esther Friesner offers readers a fresh look at an iconic figure, blending historical fiction and mythology in a heady concoction.

Editorial Reviews
Barnes & Noble Children's Literature – Uma Krishnaswami
This is the fictionalized story of Nefertiti, here taken to be the daughter of Ay, whose sister Tiye is Pharaoh's queen. Narrated in Nefertiti's first-person voice, the novel depicts her as intensely curious and confident enough to compare herself to divine Isis. She persuades the scribe Henenu to teach her the secret arts of reading and writing. She talks back to her father. She is aggravated by the circumscribed life she's required to live. She finds inspiration in the story of Hatshepsut who ruled as Pharaoh over the Black Land. In a vision of Isis, the goddess jests with Nefertiti and seems to validate her desire to learn to read. The story moves from an awakening event, the killing of a slave girl, through the family's encounter with the Great Royal Wife Tiye to life in the court at Thebes. When Nefertiti is pressured to comply with her royal aunt's scheming, she has to face her own destiny and learn how to stand up for her beliefs. A few scenes like one in which she learns how to drive a chariot seem a little too tidily placed. The third part of the novel begins to tiptoe quite surely into the historical narrative that is accepted about Nefertiti, pointing subtly to roles she is generally thought to have assumed later in her life. In effect, the book crafts a bridge between a scant historical record and girl readers' interest in princesses, raising the stakes through minor characters including the cat Ta-Miu and through the protagonist's fierce desire for independence.

It's snowing in Idaho!
According to my mom's cute post on her face book. SNOW?! It's not even Halloween yet! But I remember from my many years of living in Idaho....and having to bundle up kids with costumes OVER their coats ((this was a challenge)) to go trick or treating.
And I remember times in MAY...around Mother's Day...when it would throw us a nasty spring snow storm that would rival anything that came during January and February!
And here in NC? we've had wind, rain, more rain, thunder and lightning, blowing leaves...it LOOKS autumnal out there. It LOOKS like you should be able to grab a bulky sweat shirt and brave your way to the mail box, but once you go out? It's HOT! It's STICKY and HUMID...and it feels all kinds of weird! It was over 70 degrees at 7am this morning?
This pic was taken going UP my driveway...in bare feet and short sleeves because it is so weirdly WARM!
How can I justify a snow day when it is 75 degrees outside? LOL! I want a snow day! I want a reason to not have to leave the house, to put yummies in the crock pot and let them simmer all day while I work on this mystery quilt and other projects, while I just.....PUTTER....
No, I'm not complaining. It's gorgeous here. That blue sky, the sunshine after the storm, the leaves in glorious colors, living surrounded by the beauty...and oh! The smell of fall...it's wonderful. It's just not cold enough to justify staying in!
18 comments:
I tell you what... we had snow on the benches yesterday a.m. and snow in Sandy, Utah on the ground! Enough where they had to shovel! I'm not quite ready for shoveling snow yet!
Enjoy the warm... although, I do like to have a change of the weather... Fall is really just getting started! The leaves have just barely started falling!

The Buena Vista softball team was eager to get back to action on Thursday afternoon after nearly a three-week layoff, and the Beavers picked up a non-conference doubleheader split of Dordt College, taking game one 4-1 before falling in eight innings in game two, 4-0.
Senior Chancey Wilcke (Battle Creek, Iowa/BC-IG) surrendered a first inning home run in the opener, but only allowed four hits after that, en route to her fourth complete-game victory of the season.
BVU trailed 1-0 until the fifth inning when freshman Jordon Pilcher (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/George Washington High School) singled to right field to score Stephanie Hayden (Prairie City, Iowa/PCM) from third. The Beavers then got some help from the Defenders defense in the sixth to score the game's final three runs.
Sam Engleman (Hawarden, Iowa/West Sioux) was hit by a pitch to lead off the frame before coming all the way around to score one batter later, after Wilcke reached on a fielder's choice and a throwing error by the pitcher sent the ball into center field. Hayden then singled and advanced to third two batters later, scoring freshman Haley Payne (Alta, Iowa/Alta-Aurelia), who had come in to pinch run for Wilcke. Allison Kirchgatter (Anthon, Iowa/MVAO) then walked and proceeded to get in a rundown between first and second, allowing Hayden to score.
Hayden and Pilcher each finished with two hits, as Hayden also scored two of the four runs.
Wilcke is now 4-1 on the mound after allowing just five hits and striking out. She has yet to issue a single walk this season in 26 innings of work, while lowering her ERA to 1.88.
Game two was a pitcher's duel throughout, as the two teams were each held scoreless, while combining for five hits through the first seven innings. Dordt (7-11) then plated all four of the game's runs in the eighth as the Beavers committed four errors, defensively.
Senior Aphton Roberts (Primghar, Iowa/South O'Brien) went 3-for-3 at the plate, to go along with one walk, while Brooke Berkey (Colfax, Iowa/Colfax-Mingo) and Jessica Stocker (Des Moines, Iowa/Carlisle High School) each added one hit.
Jami Webster (Spencer, Iowa/Spencer) was tough in a losing effort, allowing four unearned runs on just four hits, while striking out five and walking only two.
Buena Vista is now 5-3 on the year and will remain at home for a Saturday, March 24, doubleheader against Northwestern College (IA) beginning at 12:00pm.

Colon polyps are growths (small clumps of cells) that form on the inside lining of the upper part of your large intestine (colon). Most colon polyps are harmless, but some can become cancerous.
Colon polyps found in the early stages usually can be removed safely and completely. Regular screening for colon polyps helps prevent colon cancer, which is often fatal when it's found in later stages. Uncommon inherited polyp disorders carry a higher risk of cancer.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for digestive disorders in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., are ranked high performing for digestive disorders by U.S. News & World Report.

By John Ramsey Staff writer
Regina McLean left the Fayetteville Public Works Commission close to 420 voice mails last year, or nearly 35 hours worth of recorded complaints. PWC employees spent more than 2,000 hours last year responding to her calls.
The frequent calls got worse this year, expanding to members of the PWC board and the City Council. She visited city hall and complained to anyone who would listen. Some city employees said they feared for their safety around McLean.
That led to an unusual request by the city's lawyers Friday in Cumberland County District Court: Bar McLean from contacting any city or PWC employees, including elected officials.
Judge Kim Tucker on Friday granted a one-year restraining order against McLean. She's not allowed to call, speak or write anyone in the city goverment or PWC. The only time she's allowed in city hall will be during the City Council's monthly public forum, Tucker ruled. She'll also be able to use the city's emergency services if she needs them.
McLean's water and power were shut off in September for failure to pay her bill. She contends that PWC wrongly billed her. She also commonly complains of harassment and discrimination against her. The Observer asked McLean to provide documentation she says prove her allegations. She refused. Court filings say PWC investigated McLean's complaints and they were unfounded.
McLean, who represented herself in court, said it was "un-American" for her to be denied access to elected officials and city government. McLean said she'll abide by the order, but plans to appeal the decision.
"What happened in that Cumberland County courthouse today shouldn't have happened to anyone," she said.
Mayor Tony Chavonne said in a phone interview after the hearing that the city is committed to making sure residents have access to government and hasn't taken this type of "extreme measure" before during his time in office. McLean has been calling City Council members for well over two years, he said.
Numerous people have tried to help McLean, with no success. But the city didn't come to its decision lightly, and probably wouldn't have ever taken the case to court until employee safety became a concern.
"We are saddened by where we find ourselves, but we feel like to be fair to our citizens and our employees it's an action we had to take," Chavonne said. "Her need has exceeded what the city or PWC are able to provide. They're not city issues. It's a sad story, quite honestly."
McLean exhibited the same pattern of behavior in 2008 after the city towed her car, Scott Flowers, attorney for the city, told Judge Tucker. Flowers sent McLean a cease and desist letter Sept. 5 requesting she stop the calls, but said she has refused to accept any written communication.
Tucker granted Sharonview Federal Credit union a similar restraining order last year. The credit union accused McLean of the same type of harassment.

Rockets girls open the season with two wins
Andrea Cecil and Emma Barney combined for 44 points in Oak Harbor's 61-45 win over Genoa last week. The victory helped move the Rockets to 2-0 on the season. Barney scored 23 points, including three 3-pointers, and Cecil finished with 21 as she flew up and down the floor to get high-percentage shots.
Oak Harbor controlled his one throughout, grabbing a 19-13 lead after one quarter before pushing the advantage to 33-22 at halftime. Ciara Albright led the Comets (1-2) with 18 points and Haley Pickard finished with 15.

"I really don't think the generation that brought us in will lead us out," he said of the economic downturn and accompanying federal deficit.
"We have to have leaders that are willing to address the problems and I don't think we can depend on those in Washington" to fix things, the Bountiful resident said in a meeting with Clipper Publisher R. Gail Stahle and the paper's editorial board.
Noting that he has attended 271 public meetings since Jan. 4, Liljenquist said "elections are about the future. My wife Brooke and I feel really good. We feel this is the time. We feel we've got a decent chance."
The candidate said his name recognition across the state has risen from about 10 percent to "above 60 percent now," with hundreds of volunteers campaigning for him.
