The third time I was asked whether I had been to Woodberry Kitchen, the Baltimore restaurant where chef-restaurateur Spike Gjerde walks the talk of locally sourced cooking, I took note. All this buzz from Washingtonians, a people who launch into lengthy negotiations just to cross the Potomac for dinner, had to mean something.
In this case, it meant they have good instincts.

It is said he brought the « power of the imagination to Europe ». Mainly thanks to his illustrations… Gustave Doré has illuminated a big part of the 19th century with black, verve and humour! Discover the « Doré » way of life thanks to the beautiful exhibition the Musée d'Orsay dedicated to him until June 5.
It is true that the Musée d'Orsay is a cult place for all those who love 19th century art in Paris. The former train station revisited as a museum was the ideal place to present this big exhibition about Gustave Doré (1832-1883), mainly celebrated for his incredible etchings of the works of Dante, Rabelais, Hugo or Balzac.
Original or imaginary. This time, in stead of just stopping at the illustrations that may have made the French artist famous, the exhibition meticulously reveals all the other sides of his work and his talents. From drawing to painting, from watercolour to sculpture. Often original or imaginary, the inspiration of Doré is expressed in all ranges of emotion!
We all know Paris for its « Champs », and preferably the Champs Élysées. It is obviously a must to discover the world's most beautiful avenue, not far from your hotel, the Opéra Cadet. July 14 is the ideal day to visit the Champs…To see Paris as you have never seen it before.
Look in the distance of the world's most beautiful avenue, and see the big parade of the National Holiday! Do not miss this terrestrial and celestial show with acrobatics of the Patrouille de France and the fabulous fireworks above the Eiffel Tower!
From the Champs (Élysées) to the fields. But if you're in Paris in July, why not be charmed by the nature it hides? Nature? Yes, visit the natural garden, a unique place where you'll find poppies, ferns, wormwood and trees that were never cut! On 6 300m², the summer plays around in all liberty! http://www.mairie20.paris.fr/mairie20/jsp/site/Portal.jsp?page_id=870
Even though the summer starts on June 21, it really only settles during the bright days of July and August, when all Paris calms down. If your stay at the Opéra Cadet is planned during the high season, why not explore the city with your head in the wind and your hands on the handlebar? Experience the summer on a Vélib'!
For their 7th anniversary, some 24 000 Vélibs bicycles can be counted, available for you and for all your journeys in Paris. Divided over more than 1700 stations, the Vélibs will await you for an ecological and economical journey, that doesn't contribute to traffic jams. Obviously, you need to watch out for the cars...but...
Paris by cycle path. An ever increasing number of cycle paths invites you to quickly and safely cycle to the main and cult sites of the capital. The Parisian « cycle map » has even reached the aim of 700 km of cycle paths! For subscriptions, click here: http://www.velib.paris.fr/
Putting on tights, wearing a cape with your initials, a masque… A couple of things that seem difficult to realise at work… Except for the superheroes and supervillians of the Marvel Comics made in America. A Parisian exhibition pays tribute to the art of illustrating the powers of Hulk, Spider-Man and other Silver Surfers. To be visited at the musée des Arts Ludiques until August 31.
During your stay at the Opéra Cadet, you can meet with (graphical) icons! They've come from far away during your childhood and highlight the creative originality of major Marvel authors like Stan Lee, Joe Simon, Don Heck or Neal Adams…
Get into my comic book! It mustn't have been easy to invent a way to illustrate the super powers of Iron Man, Captain America, Batman, Spider-Man etc. Along the 300 odd original drawing boards from the mythical publications, the Great Art of Marvel Superheroes shows a complete aesthetical collection at the service of a very original fiction! http://artludique.com/marvel.html

Ballet, theatre… Why not go to the Comédie Française, located nearby? The Misanthrope, Andromaque or A Dream Play are still on the bill in May… - http://www.comedie-francaise.fr/. And if your dear Mum just loves dancing, think about the ballets of the Opéra. http://www.operadeparis.fr/saison-2014-2015/ballet
The Fair of Paris, a very intense visit, is a major event on the agenda of Paris. Exhibitors jostle, curious visitors are rushed to get there. The choice of a hotel for those who visit the Fair becomes essential. For the 2014 edition of the Fair from April 30 to May 11, the Hotel Opéra Cadet welcomes you to get a fill of calm in one of the most beautiful districts of Paris.
Indeed, you'll want and even need an absolute calm and relaxing setting after hours and days spent at the big exhibition areas of the fairs about - « world cultures », « gastronomy» or « housing » - of the Porte de Versailles.
Welcome to the Opéra Cadet! If you have any projects like refurbishing your bathroom, installing a swimming pool or a veranda, you can be sure it will be an excellent idea to discover the hundred odd stands, tens of entertainments, workshops, parades, concerts and shows... So it is not very surprising to understand that you'll need the best to relax at night! Welcome! http://m.foiredeparis.fr/Footer/Tarifs
Before him, Rome wasn't entirely the centre of the world yet. Before him, the word 'imperator' didn't mean Emperor yet. Indeed, Augustus is one of the men who changed the face of the Antique World. And two thousand years later, Paris sees to adding a few laurels to his. Thanks to the Grand Palais and the Musée du Louvre, until July 13.
Often, people talk about his reign like a golden age. It is true that the great man the exhibition I, Augustus unwinds is not only the founder of what is later called the Roman Empire, but he is also the first prince of a Roman civilisation that seems to be at its climax.
The golden century. Statues with sculpted reliefs and frescos with exceptional reconstructions of villas. It all shows the Roman wealth and the power of the Antique Italy on the western world. Augustus, first emperor of the Roman Empire, also kept his fame thanks to the great writers of his century such as Virgil, Horace, Livy and Ovid.
Before becoming Republican, France was royal, and even imperial. One Empress has even become the French favourite for her modernity and sense of beauty. Coming spring, the small but endearing Musée du Luxembourg pays tribute to Joséphine, wife of Napoléon 1st and Empress. Enough imperial reasons to rediscover this Parisian museum.
Obviously, there will be souvenirs of the woman Joséphine was. But also of the wife she was, and of her private life with the Emperor. Naturally, you'll find souvenirs of the sovereign, but also of the patron of arts and inspirer of fashion she was. Until June 29, items, documents but also art works will enlighten the portrait of this major figure of French history.
As a Creole, great traveller and modern woman, Joséphine loved art in all its forms. You'll not be surprised to find famous art works and splendid illustrations with her influence on the history of art and styles during the consular and imperial period.
If they could, they would have been your roommates in Paris. Verdi and Wagner would stayed at Hotel Opera Cadet...like you ! They could reach easily the Opera Garnier. Enjoy until March 16, the proximity of this beautiful monument dedicated to music and opera to celebrate these two sacred monsters of the opera !
They have had two hundred years both in 2014. Sharing the same birth year, they have not been presented during their life time. The Opéra Garnier, in partnership with the BNF , decided to meet Verdi and Wagner posthumously.
Lyrical breath ! Your visit to the Opera Cadet do not miss lyrical breath as a few minutes walk you will be in the company of Aida creator and Tannhäuser father ! Or rather exciting memories and documents illustrating their lives and their works and performances. Visit the museum library opera until March 16 ! http://www.operadeparis.fr/blogopera/exposition-verdi-wagner

Summary of Gossip Girl Season 4 DVD Box Set
Welcome to New York's Upper East side where the wealthy and connected mingle at benefits and try to deal with their always dramatic love lives, not to mention picking colleges. Blair Waldorf is the so-called toast of adolescence in her world; she and her friends, Kati Farkas and Isabel Coates, go to a prep school and fancy parties with their rich parents. Blair is envied by her adversaries because she is thought to have the perfect life, not just because of her gorgeous boyfriend, Nate Archibald, but because she's also planning on getting into her dream college,Yale. With everyone worried about college(or procrastinating on worrying, which everyone seems to be doing), and senior year dragging along, her seemingly perfect life is interrupted by her ex-best friend, the beautiful Serena van der Woodsen, coming back into town after getting kicked out of boarding school. Serena comes back into her life, and into the eyes of Blair's boy friend. When everything Blair knows starts to fall apart, everyone will realize that her life is far from perfect. Will life in the the Upper East Side redeem itself of what it's really supposed to be? Or will the false facade reveal that the rich have the same problems as the not so rich (Jenny and Dan Humphrey), if not more. And just maybe Jenny and Dan are all the more happy with their simple, not so expectant lives.

Advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region generally has a poor outcome with radiation therapy alone. This study was designed to evaluate concurrent chemoradiation therapy for the treatment of unresectable head and neck cancer.
From 1993-1998 62 patients received weekly carboplatin/taxol chemotherapy with radiation therapy. Radiation was delivered to a total dose of 70.2 Gy in 1.8 Gy fractions to the primary site. The majority of patients had oropharyngeal cancer.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota has confirmed its 10th case of fungal meningitis in a national outbreak tied to tainted steroids from a Massachusetts pharmacy.
Assistant state epidemiologist Richard Danila says the patient is a Twin Cities area woman in her 60s. He says she's not hospitalized but is being treated. He says she received a spinal injection from one of the tainted lots at Medical Advanced Pain Specialists, one of two chains of Minnesota clinics that received contaminated steroids from the New England Compounding Center.
Danila says it will take some time before the risk of new infections drops off.
The department has said around 985 MAPS and Minnesota Surgery Center patients received the injections.
Nationally, the tainted steroids have been linked to more than 350 illnesses and 25 deaths in 19 states.

Poul Anderson's Tau Zero is an outstanding work of science fiction, in part because it combines two qualities that are often at odds in this genre: an interest in the emotional lives of its characters and a fascination with all things technological and scientific. In Tau Zero these components are not merely fused; they work together with a remarkable synergy that makes the novel much more than just a deep space adventure story. The novel centers on a ten-year interstellar voyage aboard the spaceship Leonora Christine, and it opens with members of the crew preparing for their departure from earth. It is an especially moving departure because they know that while they are aboard the ship and traveling close to the speed of light, time will be passing much more quickly back home. As a result, by the time they return everyone they know will have long since died. From practically the very first page, therefore, Tau Zero sets the scientific realities of space travel in dramatic tension with the no-less-real emotional and psychological states of the travelers. This is a dynamic Anderson explores with great success over the course of the novel as fifty crewmembers settle in for the long journey together. They are a highly-trained team of scientists and researchers, but they are also a community of individuals, each trying to make a life for him or herself in space. This is the background within which the action of the novel takes place. Anderson carefully depicts the network of relationships linking these people before the real plot begins to unfold. The voyage soon takes a unexpected and disastrous turn for the worse. The ship passes through a small, uncharted, cloudlike nebula that makes it impossible for the crew to decelerate the ship. The only hope, in fact, is for the ship to speed up. But acceleration towards the speed of light means that time outside the spaceship passes even more quickly, and the crew finds itself hurtling deeper into space and further into the future. Anderson's experience as a physicist is evidenced in the knowledgeable way he discusses the technical details of space and time travel, although his explanations never become burdensome or tedious. More to the point, the painstaking care with which he has drawn the characters ensures that the action is both imaginatively compelling and emotionally meaningful. It is a combination that is unfortunately all too rare in science fiction.

Vikings trade 150th overall pick to Browns for two sixth-rounders
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Working with only two draft picks in the first 105, the Minnesota Vikings continued to amass late-round selections on Saturday, trading the 150th overall pick in the fifth round to the Cleveland Browns for Nos. 168 and 170 in the sixth.
The Vikings already owned picks Nos. 172 and No. 200, giving them four picks in the sixth round, two more in the seventh (Nos. 215 and 236) and 10 overall.
The last time the Vikings made 10 picks in a draft was in 2000, when they had three seventh-rounders.

Five generations: Lambert with daughter Clarise Vanderburgh, left, granddaughter Kelley Courtney, great-granddaughter Kimberly Smith and great-great-granddaughter Savannah Smith.
Everyone posed for pictures.
Steve Courtney flew 19 hours to make the party.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Five generations were on hand Saturday to celebrate Irene Lambert's centennial anniversary, including the youngest great-grandchild, 11-day-old Sebastian Smith.
Decked out in her beloved "bling" and sporting a tiara and corsage, Lambert greeted scores of relatives who turned out for her 100th birthday gala at the Bounti-Fare in Adams.
The event was supposed to a surprise, said Lambert, her accent betraying her French-Canadian roots, but she had a clue something was going on.
"It was at first but I was at [her granddaughter] Kelley's and the little ones said, 'When are we going to the party,'" she laughed.
Lambert and her late husband of 50 years, Louis G. Lambert, had four children, who in turn had 14 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
She recalled how she had grown up on farms in Canada and Vermont.
"I worked with my father on the farm," she said. "I went up in the mountains with him and brought down the logs. ... I cleaned the cows, I cleaned the horses."
The horses her father raised, Clydesdales, weren't easy to push around, she said. "That's why I'm strong."
Born April 15, 1914, in Saint-Norbert, Quebec, Lambert was one of six girls and three boys born to Archille and Aurora LeBlanc Bouffard. Her sister Alice Bouffard Mitchell is still living in Florida.
Her daughter Clarise Lambert Vanderburgh said her mother left school in the fifth grade to work on the farm and help raise her siblings when her mother died. When her father moved back to Canada when she was 18, she stayed to work in the textile mills with her aunt.
When the Vermont mills closed, Lambert and her husband, whom she married in 1935, moved to North Adams, working in the cotton mills in the area until they, too, closed.
"Then I went to the rubber mill in Williamstown (the former Cornish Wire). I worked there for, oh, 20 years," she said. Then she worked cleaning six houses and mowing their lawns.
She became an American citizen and, at age 41, learned to drive.
Vanderburgh described her mother as "a hard-working woman all her life."
Her daughter Carole Lambert Superneau recalled how her mother used to come to her house and mow the lawn — slipping into a pair of sneakers but still dressed up in jewelry and nylons.
"I still do what I can," Lambert said. Her daughters said she still cleans, loves to go shopping and, up until a few years ago, was shoveling snow for herself and her neighbors.
"At 100, to see her doing what she does, she's just amazing," said Superneau.
Her other children are Marielle Lambert Kordana and George Lambert.
On Saturday, Lambert certainly didn't seem ready to slow down but admitted the long years were a bit blurred.
"It went by so fast," she said of the century past. "I can't remember everything."

Howard Jarvis: I've Reported You to the FCC.
It's no secret of mine that I don't align with the Tea Party's agenda. I find them offensive, ill-informed and inflammatory.
But I've been content to let the polls show the people's desire (albeit along with my very vocal presence on Facebook).
I've been on the National Do-Not-Call list for as long as it's been in existence. So imagine my surprise when I get a call tonight, at 8 pm, from "The National Tax Payer's Association." It's not a crime to call before 9 pm. But it is against FCC (Federal Communication Commission) Policy to call without giving me the ability to opt out of your telemarketing.
This particular organization called me from a private number and left me no ability to opt out of their marketing (which I never opted into).
Although Howard Jarvis is dead (peace be with him) his association is live and well. And they have been reported to the FCC.
Here is the link for the National Do Not Call List. You can register your number to opt out of telemarketing AND use this site to report transgressors.
And go on out and vote on Tuesday, won't you?
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

Terrail Lambert hadn't slept. Not that anyone would have noticed last weekend while the junior cornerback bounced off the team hotel's walls before the Irish headed to Bobby Dodd Stadium.Lambert had good reason for frayed nerves. Not only was he staring down the first extensive playing time of his career, he knew All-American wide out Calvin Johnson waited across the line of scrimmage. While most players keep the butterflies in their stomachs down, Lambert needed a net.Moments before boarding the bus on Saturday afternoon, Lambert ran into defensive line coach Jappy Oliver. Oliver didn't offer much more than clichéd advice, but every little bit helped. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

They took the "ease" out of Cotuit easements.
That's what Cotuit native Fred Claussen claims as he fights to have municipal officials install a sign at his gift of public access from the
While the property through which the right of way passes has been sold several times, Claussen's easement has always been maintained, and in March 2005, Claussen, being of generous mood, deeded the easement to the town to accommodate beachgoers and shellfishermen in perpetuity.Claussen, whose day job is as the county's elected Register
of Probate, received a note of "deepest appreciation"
from town council president Gary Brown last April for "granting an easement
in Cotuit to increase public access to a coastal beach."
But there are claims the town's law department is discouraging public access as a new owner in 1996, identified by Claussen as Paul Cain of Texas, installed a fence with a gate that stated "private property."
This launched a situation of confusion that the town evidently was in no rush to resolve then -- much to Claussen's chagrin.But now that the town owns the easement, Claussen feels it should be doing all it can to assure that the intent -- right of public passage -- is clearly enforced and clearly defined "so that people know the right of way is there. How are they going to know if it isn't marked?" -- particularly
since there is a six-foot board fence and a closed door dominating the site.
Claussen's grief stems from vague signals emitted by the town attorney's office where, evidently, there is no rush to clearly identify the gate and the path beyond it as a public right of passage.
Wayne Nickerson, a member of the Barnstable Association of Recreational Shellfishermen reached in Florida last week, claims an assistant town attorney, Dave Houghton, had a sign removed indicating a right of way.
"He (Houghton) told me, and this is hard to believe, that it was OK for me to use the path to water deeded by Fred (Claussen) to the town, and if the owner of the property which is crossed by the path tries to stop me let him (Houghton) know, but he told me not to publicize the fact that there was a town way to water, referring to Fred's path to water."Houghton, a former town councilor, said last week, "We don't sign every easement,
every place. We're trying to figure out what an appropriate sign would be. I'm sure we'll put one there eventually."
Meanwhile, there are incidents
apparently depriving the public of rightful access. Doug Kalweit, supervisor of the Natural Resources Division, was asked by Houghton's office last week to check a report from shellfishermen that the gate was locked. It wasn't, Kalweit said, albeit the latch was latched and somebody evidently "thought" it was locked, a nuisance for anyone trying to use the right of way.Nickerson reported an anecdotal story in October wherein a man and his two daughters nearly lost a day of clamming because they were not aware of the right of way and were too timid to take the unsigned path."
Apparently with development,
a lot of these paths are being lost. Private owners
put plantings, boulders etc., to block the paths. Citizens figuring that they were only allowed to use these paths at the indulgence
of the owner of property
adjacent to or across whose property the path runs (often not realizing that these paths are deeded to the public for access to the water) are intimidated and stop using them. Then within a few years people forget about the paths, and they are lost," Nickerson said.
The importance of Claussen's right of way to beachgoers and shellfishermen
is an impassable rock-and brush-strewn area of waterfront at high tide that leaves Claussen's path as the option passage.
Houghton said it is "a matter of working with the neighbors" saying that "you can't overburden an easement. We're trying to find the right wording -- we haven't figured it out exactly -- and we're trying to work with neighbors."The point is, there was a simple sign erected near the gate previously. All it said was "Town Way to Water" or similar words but, Nickerson claims, Houghton evidently ordered it taken down. "Somebody took it down and then somebody else carted it away," Claussen said. Kalweit said there was once a "private property" sign on the door to evidently discourage passage. He said the town attorney's office said it couldn't be removed by the town because the door was private property.

Customer Reviews

Excellent flavour, completely wrong grind
I used to love this coffee, very good flavour, liked it more than illy. Unfortunately, it seems now they changed the grind grade and made it too thin, not even a drop of coffee comes out of my machine. Shame, I had to throw away the whole bag. Back to illy now which I don't like much because their grind is too coarse for my Gaggia coffee machine and fills the cup too quickly without extracting all the flavour.
04 November 2014
Perfect espresso
Great flavour, perfect grind. I use this in my KitchenAid espresso maker. Perfect crema every time.
22 July 2014
excellent coffee
I bought this based on the other reviews and it's glorious ! Better than illy - strong but tasty. I shall drink nothing else:)

The farmers market is located on Church Street, east of Spring Lake District Library. Local businesses such as Ter Avest Farms, The Flower Garden and Happy Jack's Popcorn are frequent vendors.
Locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables are the star attractions.
"It's hard to stand here all day and not be able to eat anything," said Tonya Zwak, of Hudsonville-based Ter Avest Farms, as she bagged fresh radishes for a customer.
To see more photos from the market, CLICK HERE.
Since its 2013 season began June 6, the Spring Lake Farm and Garden Market has attracted crowds of people hoping to benefit from this year's crops and flowers.
Norna Verplank walked around the market before stopping at The Flower Garden stand to buy a bouquet of 10 peonies for herself and her cleaning lady.
"We just love them," said the Spring Lake woman, holding the bundle close to her nose.
Casey Lemieux of Coopersville, who has been vending for The Flower Garden for nearly 15 years, said she picks peonies during what she calls their "marshmallow phase," when the flowers are smaller and have the texture of a marshmallow.
"I've cut about 3,000 stems of peonies this season," she said.
The Spring Lake market is organized by the local Chamber of Commerce. They also host a farmers market at Chinook Pier in Grand Haven on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Temptalia for the 2010 Blogging Scholarship
If you don't blog its kinda hard to understand how the entire process goes down. Some are casual bloggers, some take it more serious than others, and some start a blog but never quite update as frequently as they hoped they would when they originally started it.
Bloggers come in many shapes, sizes, ages, and walks of life. We all blog because we're passionate about the subject we choose to babble about.
One of the most passionate bloggers out there, as many of you already know, is Christine from Temptalia. No one takes blogging more seriously. She blogs makeup like her life depends on it and she points out every little detail about a product in her reviews.
If you don't know Christine or you just talk to her via comments or Twitter you probably aren't realizing the amount of money, time, and patience that goes into her site. This a young lady that has college courses to attend to, plus life, and of course, a full time dedication to her website. Taking pictures, writing up reviews, swatching products, paying for entire MAC collections, plus having to worry about keeping her site on a stable, working server which costs money to run isn't a joke. I should know, I do much of the same here on Musings but mind you, Temptalia, is a way bigger fish to fry and alot more work goes into her.
Here's the deal.
I'd like to show my support and I hope you'll show your support towards the 2010 Blogging Scholarship, which recognizes students who blog. Christine happens to be one of the contenders. She wrote a 300 word essay about blogging.
Here's an excerpt from her essay…
Bogging is vital to me, because it has given tangible meaning to my heart and soul. Through blogging, I have learned my passion lies in beauty by providing firsthand experiences to help others. Blogging is my method of self-expression, but it has brought me together with like minded individuals and allowed us to build a community based on that passion. I have been given opportunities to interact with my readers, both on and offline, and there is nothing more rewarding than being able to help someone—even if it is recommending a lipstick. That lipstick recommendation just might inspire confidence in a self-conscious teenager!
The first place winner will receives a $10,000 scholarship to help pay for school. Christine is one of ten finalists in the running for the scholarship.
I submitted my vote earlier today as I believe, with all her hard work on Temptalia, she deserves this scholarship.
I hope you'll take time out to support her. I know she's a backbone for me daily. I wouldn't be able to get through days without her support and this is one way I can give that support back to her.
Please visit her site at www.temptalia.com and click on the link to vote!
Disclaimer: Christine did not ask me to write this post nor does she even know I'm posting it. I am not affiliated with Temptalia.com aside from being friends with it's editor. This post is to show my appreciation for not only that friendship but to help support a friend!
10/27/10 18:43 peri:
i know nothing of her blog…honestly, im not sure how i even came across this one lol…but i went and voted for her. looks like shes in the lead.
10/27/10 18:52 Ren:
yay!!!!! EVERYONE VOTE FOR HER!
10/27/10 18:59 NeutraKris:
I agree! Christine's blog is one of my top favorites and I value her opinions and efforts. She makes sure to answer any possible question someone may have before it's even asked yet also takes the time to answer those that are. Her blog gives inspiration to me that mine may have at least a fraction of the success hers has. I voted and I hope many more will as well!
10/27/10 19:05 Shayne A:
Oh Musey you have such an enormous heart!!! This is one of the reasons why I heart you……I am also a devoted follower of Christine's blog & while I don't usually comment on hers (because I am so intimidated by her blog & mine pales in comparison) I read it several times a day. She is so inspiring & I love her reviews. I am going to go vote for her right now. Thank you for letting all of us know about this ~ it would be a precious gift to give to her for all of her hard work & devotion to her followers.
PS Did you pick up your Liplicious Red Velvet Cake yet?? Because I bought you one & would like to send it to you if you haven't
11/2/10 20:18 Shayne A:
No, you're the lovely one…….thank you for your devotion to us as well. I can't tell you the amount of joy I get from reading your blog every single day. I think I might have a bit of a girl crush on you!!!
10/27/10 20:08 elizabeth:
Christine is fantastic. even years ago before blogs like that hit it big and she was just a poster on livejournal communities I loved her tutorials and her looks gave inspiration and when she moved to start a bigger blog, i kept reading and oh my gosh, how it's grown. she's done an excellent job and even has quite a following. it's really really cool to see organizations give young bloggers incentive to keep working and to go to school; and even reading christine's about me you'll see how much she really does – she runs and posts updates on her own website and still has time to rock law school. I have not yet looked at the other finalists, and I am sure many of them are also worthy of recognition but I am quite amazed by Christine.
10/27/10 20:23 Missy:
You are a truly great friend to show your support like this! I've read her blog a few times and I'll hop on over and vote for her. Muse, you're a gem
10/27/10 20:45 Mina:
I voted for her. Her blog is amazing and you're so sweet for doing this, I bet it means a lot to her. xoxo
10/27/10 21:08 Audrey:
If anyone deserves to win, it's her! I'm always amazed at the thought and care that goes into every post. Thank you for posting about this 😀
10/27/10 21:51 JoElla:
Ahh Muse you are a love!
Running off to vote for Christine!
10/27/10 22:14 jody:
That is so cool of you to make this post.
I go to her site daily, and yours as well. I also follow you both on twitter.
You both do a wonderful job, and since I don't get to counters or sephora as much as I would like, you both do a wonder for my decision making.
Thank you, and I voted for Christine.
It is very nice to see one blogger write such kind and heartfelt words for a fellow blogger.
10/27/10 23:48 Lors:
I voted for her! I also thought it was nice when Christine mentioned you and your hard work last month when listing her favorite beauty blogs. It's great to see how supportive beauty bloggers are of one another!
10/28/10 0:50 Melissa:
I voted and she is in second place.. hopefully she will take the lead soon. Her site is one of the best –
10/28/10 2:10 Iris:
Hi Muse! I think it's so nice of u to do this. I love Christine's blog too. And i agree, she works *damn* hard on her blog, and she deserves to be recognized. I always feel kinda bad that she spends so much of her own money to do product reviews for us…so i'd love to c her get some sort of scholarship for her hard work. Vote, ladies!
10/28/10 10:30 LipstickChick:
… and kudos to you, for showing your support … there are many out there who would ignore this altogether, or perhaps be jealous and spiteful, but this post of yours spotlighting this opportunity for Christine is VERY cool
That is what sisterhood is supposed to be about 😉
10/28/10 12:11 Larie:
aw, you are such a sweetie! i voted for her yesterday already; hope she wins
10/28/10 12:56 Regina:
Christine is amazing! Vote for her! Both you and Christine are great bloggers, and your sites are my go-tos for beauty stuff. : )
10/28/10 17:37 resham:
Voted for her…She really takes the whole thing like her life depends on it…I love both you guys…. Me wth you in this support!!
10/28/10 19:01 Marie:
Aaaww it's so sweet of you to show your support like that. I visit your blog and hers every day, and I can't even imagine all the hard work that goes into maintaining such high-traffic and high-quality blogs. So I voted because she deserves it.
And if you ever need a vote, I'll vote for you too.
Seriously, that's why I like visiting Musings of a Muse and Temptalia. You're both genuinely kind, and it definitely shows.
10/29/10 22:38 Christine:
Thank you everyone! The support from the community has been heartwarming. Muse's post was so lovely that it made me sob, and I had to print out a copy so I can always refer to it when I am feeling down!
Thanks again!
11/2/10 9:14 Annabella Freeman:
I voted for her yesterday. I really hope she wins. Unless you are a blogger I don't you can appreciate how much time and effort goes into doing it. From a financial point of view she must spend untold amounts of money just so her loyal readers can see everything before they buy it. I'm not a MAC person but I love her reviews.
The two of you and a few others are who us smaller bloggers look up to. It's nice to know it's not all bitchyness and back stabbing.
Here's to Temptalia and The Muse! xoxo

POTSDAM - The Clarkson University mens team led the way at the four-team Bears Fall Invitational golf tournament at the Potsdam Town and Country Club on Tuesday.
The Golden Knights posted a score of 310 to capture the title followed by SUNY Oswego at 312, while host SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton tied for third at 319.
Each of the Clarksons top five golfers shot sub-80 Tuesday afternoon on the par 72 lay-out at PTCC, helping lead the Golden Knights to a two-stroke victory at the Potsdam Bears Fall Golf Invitational held at the par-72 Potsdam Town and Country Club.
Junior Tyler Cline (Tuxedo, NY) and sophomore transfer Ben Stone (Parishville, NY), a former Section 10 champion competing for Potsdam Central, each were two shots (77) behind Hickeys pace, while senior Rob Wood (Westford, VT) and sophomore Evan Cody (Malta, NY) each came away with a 78. Sophomore Matt Blair (South Glens Falls, NY) was Clarksons fifth golfer with a more than respectable 79.
Bears sophomore John Hickey (Au Sable Forks, N.Y.) was the medalist for the individual competition with a round of 75. Potsdam classmate Conor Talty (Fairport, N.Y.) was three strokes behind with a 78, with senior Harrison Davenport (Auburn, N.Y.) following with an 82. Sophomore Kevin Doherty (Amherst, N.Y.) and junior Ryan Merriman (Potsdam, N.Y.) were separated by just a single stroke with an 84 and 85, respectively.
The SUNY Canton mens golf team put together a solid performance as Zach Meade (Tupper Lake, NY) carded a four-over par 76 finishing second overall individually just one stroke off of the pace. Mike Reilly (Colton, NY) recorded a 78, while Nate Christy (Canton, NY) tallied an 82. Nolan Reid (Champlain, NY) and Brandon Pupp (Oneida, NY) rounded out the scorers with an 83 and 92, respectively.
Also competing for Clarkson on Tuesday at PTCC were; Dan Netter (83), Nick Helgeland (85), Scott Henning (87) and Matt Miller (87). Other SUNY Potsdam shooters included; Dan Kurtz (81), former Potsdam Central standouts Konnor Bigwarfe (86) and Dan Cruikshank (87), Tom Mills (88) and William Vlad (91). Rounding out the SUNY Canton lineup were; Dave Parker (91), Chris Schmidbauer (91), Nick Speech (92), Kyle Clark (94), Steve McCorduck (105) and Anthony Levato (105).
All three North Country squads will be back in action in Canton this weekend at the two-day St. Lawrence Invitational on Saturday and Sunday at SLUs Oliver D. Appleton Golf Course. Teams will tee off at 1 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. on Sunday.

Congrats to Josh Kelley and his wife, actress Katherine Heigl! The couple adopted a second daughter, reports People magazine. While no further details are available at this time, the little girl no doubt has a proud big sister in 3-year-old Naleigh Moon, whom Josh and Katherine adopted from South Korea in 2009.
Perhaps the new little one will inspire songs like this one, which Josh wrote about Naleigh:

Seawitch, the seventh GREYWALKER novel, doesn't miss a beat. Kat Richardson weaves an engrossing story of ghost ships and native folklore, dripping with special effects.
Harper Blaine can see into the Grey, a dimension next to ours. This ability allows her to interact with ghosts and other paranormal creatures. Harper is a private investigator in Seattle. While the majority of her cases are mundane, it's pretty clear that this one will not be. Seawitch, a luxury yacht that disappeared with all hands twenty-seven years ago, has reappeared at its slip in its old marina. There is no one alive aboard, but Harper and Rey Solis, the Seattle PD detective assigned to the case, find sigils drawn in blood in one of the quarters. They could be a spell, a curse, or part of a protection circle. Harper also finds a haunted artifact from another drowned ship, the real-life steamship Valencia, which ran aground in 1906, and the story goes full-tilt from there.
Solis has always been suspicious of Harper, but onboard Seawitch he observes her going into the Grey for the first time. His reaction is very different from what Harper expected. Solis admits to her that he requested this case once he knew the insurance company had hired her. For deeply personal reasons, he wants to learn more about the Grey.
The case leads them on a sea-chase through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, one of the most treacherous water passages on the west coast. Harper's goal is to free human souls trapped in the artifact, but there is more than one magical entity at work, and to figure out who to trust, Harper and Solis have to piece together what happened aboard the yacht twenty-seven years ago.
Richardson knows her way around boats and Puget Sound, and the expertise shows here. She gives us a lot of information about boats without ever slowing down the pace of the book, and manages to create a sense of beauty and menace when she writes about the Sound.
Puget Sound is a strange thing — almost an inland sea full of islands and deep saltwater crevasses caused by passing glaciers eons ago. In some places the depth of the bottom has never been mapped, only guessed at, and ships or planes that fall into the underwater canyons never come back — not even as broken pieces of flotsam.
The most dramatic action scene takes place on open water, as our heroes fend off a boarding party of merfolk transported by a waterspout.
As I stared at them through the Grey, the waterspout was thick with creatures that writhed and twisted in the rising liquid. A handful of human forms spun, screaming, in the water, festooned in seaweed and trailing chain. In front of it, coils of blue energy reached and spun through the waves toward Mambo Moon. The sea-witch or her minions had come to us.
Sergeant Solis has been in several of the GREYWALKER books. It was great to see more of his character revealed here. His interest in the Grey is powerful, but he is not prepared for what he experiences on this adventure. Harper is helped by her boyfriend Quinton, a man of many resources, and by an old salt named Zantree, a grandfather who lives on a boat at the marina, knew the people on Seawitch, and loves to dress up as a pirate.
The historical part of the mystery has some comments to make about the self-indulgence of the 1980s, but the real drama takes place on or in the water. Seawitch is a riveting adventure. Even at home on dry land, Harper is not safe, because she and Quinton are facing a new threat from a ruthless and powerful man with connections to Quinton's past. Seawitch is a thoroughly satisfying entry in the GREYWALKER series.

LEMONT, Ill., May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Employers looking to maximize the operational, strategic and financial impact of time and labor management can now turn to a comprehensive, authoritative training and certification program offered by the Workforce Educational Organization (WEO), the first non-profit organization designed to increase the understanding, utilization and impact of time and labor management systems from an operational, strategic and financial standpoint. Time and labor management includes timekeeping, scheduling, attendance and leave, data collection, reporting, and labor related analytics.
The organization will launch a professional certification program in early 2013. Developed by industry leaders, researchers, leading academics, policy makers and practitioners, the WEO curriculum will not only cover the fundamentals of time and labor management, but will also break new ground in introducing the application of these technologies to business processes, models and outcomes, including practical strategies for work rules design and implementation.
"The WEO is vastly different from other vendor-sponsored training programs available today," says Lisa Disselkamp, noted workforce management expert/author and co-founder of the WEO. "Unlike programs where individuals become certified by attending webinars given by a particular vendor, the WEO establishes standards for workforce management professionals by developing a knowledge base for the industry and instituting a recognized benchmark for competency that consists of an exam and practical application exercises or projects that are evaluated by peers in the workforce management industry." Among the contributors to the training are John Hausknecht from Cornell and Susan Lambert from the University of Chicago.
According to Ed Frauenheim, a senior editor at Workforce Management, "the WEO is a good example of an all-win approach. Workforce management professionals improve their skills and knowledge; companies get more value out of their software; vendors get happier customers; scholars get a chance to affect the real world of work; and workers get schedules that work for them. We need more business and professional organizations with this sort of inclusive vision."
The WEO certification exam is expected to be complete at the end of December, 2012 and the study guide will be published in January, 2013.
For more information about the WEO, visit the Web site at www.WEO-Cert.org or speak to a WEO member at the 30th Annual American Payroll Association Congress at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando, Florida on May 6-10, 2012.
About the WEO
Headquartered in Lamont, IL, the Workforce Educational Organization (WEO) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit education organization that will serve as the premier, dynamic repository of information critical to the management of workers, and the achievement of maximum mutual benefits for both employer and employee. The WEO is funded through grants and donations and governed by a volunteer Board of Directors from the workforce management technology industry. Initiatives sponsored by the WEO are directed by volunteer Committees made up of academics, professionals, researchers, and policy makers.

WADDINGTON - Organizers are hoping they will hit the 1,000 angler threshold when the St. Lawrence River Walleye Association hosts its eighth annual Northern Pike Challenge on Feb. 22.
The registrations are coming in slowly as they normally do. People always procrastinate. We had 900 adults last year, and wed like to hit 1,000 this year. We also had another 75 entrants in the 15 and under class last year, according to Michael J. Gagner, president of the St. Lawrence River Walleye Association.
We like to say this is the premier north country winter event. The tournament has grown every single year. The fishing is good. It attracts a lot of people to this area. One of our objectives is to bring people in to see the fisheries we have here and to see what our communities have to offer. One of our earliest registrations this year was from Virginia. It is late enough in February that the sun is high and it is a family-oriented event, so it is a good day for everybody to be out on the ice, Mr. Gagner said.
He noted the Wounded Warriors Project will once again be involved with the tournament.
We are happy to have a large contingent of Wounded Warriors joining us. Were looking forward to them coming. They have been part of the tournament for the past three years, Mr. Gagner said. Its safe to say that all the weigh stations will be marked this year by a Wounded Warrior flag.
A significant effort has been made in recent years to provide fishing opportunities for members of the military who suffered injuries and illnesses as a result of their service in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The major sponsors for this years tournament are long-time supporters Budweiser and Subway, joined this year by TwinLeaf Convenience Stores.
The Northern Pike Challenge runs from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. Feb. 22. The fishing boundaries are Fobares Pond from the train trestle to Route 37 including Coles Creek Marina and Bay, Wilson Hill and Brandy Brook in Waddington.
Sign-up locations are Massena American Legion, Green Machine Bait & Tackle (Waddington), Northwoods Outfitters (Potsdam), Chapmans Bait & Tackle (Black Lake) and Uppstroms Bait & Tackle (Waddington).
Pre-registration is $30 through Feb. 15 and then climbs to $35 until Feb. 20. He said no sign-ups are accepted on Feb. 21, but last-minute entrants can sign up the morning of the event at the Louisville fire station. There is a mandatory sign-in for all anglers between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. on the day of the event.
The tournament hands out $1,000 in prize money every hour in the adult division with $500 for the largest fish each hour, $300 for the second largest fish and $200 for the third largest pike. The biggest catch of the day earns an additional $100 and a free mount provided by Three Rivers Taxidermy. Terry Russell had the largest catch in 2013 when he reeled in a 13.11-pound pike.
There is also $100 for the largest walleye caught during the day as well as monetary awards in the wacky hat contest in the adult and youth divisions. There will also be a five $1,000 door prizes this year as well as additional door prizes donated by local businesses.
We gave out random door prizes valued at approximately $2,500 last year, Mr. Gagner pointed out.
This is the walleye associations largest fundraiser of the year. Every single cent the anglers leave goes right back into the St. Lawrence River to benefit future generations, he noted.
There is also a 100 percent payback in the youth division, with door prizes for each contestant provided by the Maday and Deannie Sunday family.
Mr. Gagner said the Northern Pike Challenge is yet another example of the economic opportunities provided by the fisheries in the region.
It was nice to see the people of all different ages that came out for the Bassmaster this summer. It was awesome. We also get good crowds at our event. People come down and buy 50-50 tickets, visit the concession stands, spend time with their families and observe the fishing and weigh-ins. It brings people out, he said.
He said there may even be a few people who register for the tournament simply to be eligible for the door prizes.

Unique occasions call for a unique venue.
"When my husband first proposed and we began wedding planning, I knew that Avantgarden was going to be the perfect venue for us. I am an artist and my husband is a musician, we have eclectic tastes and both of us have been patrons of this bar/venue for years. It is a beautiful old two-story building in the Montrose area of Houston with lots of wonderful history, an antiquated and bohemian ambiance, a lovely front garden porch, and an amazing back open patio. It is picturesque to say the least.
We chose a fun, themed "vintage sideshow circus" wedding which was going to take lots of customization with the planning and decor to make it happen, and Mariana, the owner, was extremely accommodating and offered many suggestions for the rentals, catering, and valet services to help us out. She had wine and beer special ordered for us by request. She and her staff were well prepared for our event, which was costumed ( and they even all dressed up to fit the theme, which they didn't have to do, but it made it all the better! )
We had approximately 160 guests, and Avantgarden accommodated this well. The valet service that we used was invaluable, though, as there is limited parking, but this made it very easy for our guests to come and go. The seating was less formal and we did more of a cocktail reception since we had so many guests. Half of the back patio was turned into a circus arena with lights, circus tent awning, cotton candy and popcorn! After the vows our guests enjoyed an aerial acrobatics show and other various sideshow performances, while music was DJ'd inside for a late night dance party, and we ended the performances with a burlesque show upstairs. I think I heard the phrase "coolest wedding EVER" at least a dozen times, and many guests were commenting on how amazing the venue (Avantgarden) was.
It was THE wedding to remember and it would not have been nearly as amazing as it was at any other venue or without the assistance of Mariana and her staff. I know that there have been several weddings/receptions at Avantgarden and I know that by far ours has been the most unique, but to future prospects for various events just know that no matter the theme, the sky is the limit, Mariana will help make it happen if you can imagine it!"
"My wedding venue was the AvantGarden on Westheimer and it could not have turned out more perfect. This place is beautiful with plants/flowers surrounding the patio-where our ceremony took place. I wanted something low-key and an evening wedding. The place was lit with lanterns and the plants really gave it an earthy feel. Mariana (the owner) was such a big help in cooridinating everything and making sure everything ran smoothly. It fit about 140 people and all of my guests adored this place. It is a two-story historic house with antique furniture inside of the house-- also including 2 bars inside, one on 1st floor and one on 2nd floor. IT was awesome because guests could come inside to cool off and lounge or they could go outside on the back patio to sit/eat and mingle and dance. One word to describe this venue is PERFECT! Ms Sandoval,
"My husband and I knew we didn't want a "cookie cutter" wedding ceremony and reception. We were looking for something different and found it at AvantGarden! Mariana and her staff made our wedding night PERFECT! From conception to finale, they were there every step of the way! My husband and I couldn't of asked for a more magical evening! Thanks AvantGarden!" Brad and Harmony Hudgens
"The venue was gorgeous, everything went smoothly, the taco truck was a hit, and Mariana and Horacio were an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks for all your patience and generosity. We hope to see you again soon" Ms Quinatana
"The patio was beautiful during the ceremony and absolutely magical at night, and we received many compliments on choosing AvantGarden" K Grammy
"I recently attended a friend's wedding at Avant Garden so my review is based on the enormously grand time I had. Will a wedding / reception work there? Yes it will.
It was a rather large crowd but with the multi level, front & back areas we were all spread out and didn't step on each others toes. The staff was kept busy (especially the bartenders) and they proved to be pros. Running around and making sure the food kept coming and supplying endless glasses of champagne, mixed drinks, sodas, water, etc. The groom did the catering himself (yes, he is crazy that way) and we dined on an assortment of appetizers: jerk chicken, empanadas, salmon mousse, hummus, corn on the cob, tamales and I am sure some other stuff I missed. It was one hellacious party as most of us met back in the 80's and would go out clubbing (Rocksy, Numbers, Emo's). The only difference from then till now are a few gray hairs and wrinkles. The wedding / 80's reunion was a huge success due to the fun crowd and awesome staff at Avant Garden." AE

You keep your pockets filled with mini bottles of hand sanitizer, you wash your hands religiously, and you make it a point to stay away from those with runny noses, yet you still catch the seasonal cold. Dietician Sheela Prakash tells us, "It's a common misconception that you can catch a cold from not bundling up as the weather gets colder. The truth is that colds are simply caused by viruses. When it's cold outside, these viruses tend to spread more easily because people are spending more time indoors, with much less ventilation, passing germs to each other." While we may not be able to tell you exactly why you still catch that obnoxious cold that keeps you up at night with congestion and coughing, we can help you curb the symptoms.
Click here to see the slideshow for 9 Drinks That May Help to Curb Your Cold Symptoms (Slideshow)
When it comes to cold remedies, many people swear by chicken soup, but who has the time, or the energy, to sit by a stove and make an entire meal when they're sick? So we talked to two doctors, a nutritionist, and a registered dietician to find out the best drinks to try when you've come down with a cold. Doctors and nutritionists alike reminded us that there really isn't a single drink that will cure your cold, but symptoms can be dramatically curbed if you use the right elixir.
Water was a common recommendation, as well as naturally squeezed juices high in vitamin C like orange and grapefruit. The thing to remember about juice, though, is to avoid processed juices that are full of sugar. If you're a fan of juicing, try combining your favorite citrus fruits for a mixture that's bound to aid in curbing the common cold. Another favorite was the water enhancer Emergen-C. This little wonder packet comes in a variety of different formulas that will help either boost your immune system if you feel a cold coming on, or help to fight a cold when it's already arrived with a high dose of vitamin C. Another favorite that registered dietician Sheela Prakash swears by is ginger. She tells us, "Ginger contains chemicals that can help alleviate cold symptoms." Doctor Marian Greenberg says, "Hot liquids in general help mobilize secretions, and all liquids are good because everyone feels worse when dehydrated, and you don't realize how dehydrated you become with a cold — mouth breathing, cough, fever, etc., all contribute to dehydration."
Drinks that are easily accessible have become the go-to way to curb cold symptoms. From Emergen-C all the way to ginger juice, these drinks will help to alleviate the negative effects of a cold. We can't guarantee you'll be up and running a half-marathon, but these nine drinks will certainly have you feeling a little better after a few doses.

Letter: Free agency guides my dogma
The Salt Lake Tribune article on Dec. 10 attributes the now defunct Mormon "black priesthood ban" on Brigham Young's racism rather than revelation.
What a breakthrough on Mormon mythological adoption of a "papal infallibility" type dogma stating the LDS Church president will never "lead us astray"!
I'm especially grateful for the much clearer thinking of second counselor Dieter F. Uchtdorf's statements regarding this crucial matter. He rightly says God works through his imperfect children, and "imperfect children make mistakes." He underscores what I learned in childhood Sunday School. "If it's true, you can test it," became my lifetime's credo.
Empirical evidence and independent thinking, demanded by true free agency, became guidelines for my adoption of any type religious dogma. Some of it's wonderful. Some isn't.
For instance, do we believe Heber J. Grant saying any parent worth their salt would rather see their child buried than lose "chastity" before marriage? Common sense would go a long way towards isolating rank superstition from worthwhile ideology.
Ken Roach's letter in the same day's Forum lists a few church restrictions on true free agency.
He ends with "If I agree with everything the church teaches, then my freedoms are strongly protected." Kudos, Mr. Roach!

Polish sea resort giving sand away for free
WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Too busy for a vacation, but long for a beach? Try Poland, where you can take home as much Baltic Sea sand as you want for free.
Authorities say the pure, light sand in the town of Leba in the country's north is up for grabs to everyone _ from toddlers to construction companies _ after moving dunes in the Slowinski National Park started to clog up the beach and local waterways.
Leba tourism official Pawel Dabrowski said Thursday that the sand is getting into a canal leading into the town's picturesque port, and constantly needs to be dredged out at high cost.
He says the sand is for free, except for a 82 zloty ($24; (EURO)19) administrative fee for trucks.
