As first time B&B goers, my husband & I were thrilled at our experience at the Homestead. Chef & Mary Kay immediately made us feel right at home. I don't think I need to try any other B&B- I;ll just come back here!

This homestead experience was outstanding as a whole. The unique decor, intricate woodwork and personable staff boasted of style and etiquette of years past.

A wonderful and charming place to gather with friends. Our Hostess was not only gracious but charming and knowledgable. Greeted with fresh homemade lavendar cookies at check-in and wine and cheese in the evening. It was a wonderful place to laugh with friends or just curl up in one of the many private spaces with a good book. We enjoyed walking the beautifully landscaped property and sitting outside to enjoy the patio and ambience. The rooms were clean, comfortable and charming. My friends and I will definitely be back again! Peggy B.

The Kollat Room is charming and cozy, it is all I needed after a long day driving. Everything very clean. A very beautiful place. I was also glad I could walk to take the train and enjoy some reading. I would for sure come back.

This is a beautifully restored mansion and yet the hosts have made it very cozy so you do not feel intimidated by the fine furnishings but can relax into them. Each evening we were treated to wine and cheese or fresh cookies from the oven. Breakfast was always sumptuous and plentiful enough that there was no need for lunch! I stay at bed and breakfasts a lot and this is the best so far.

Whether you are looking for a romantic get-away or just for some place to get some peaceful rest, look no further. I lodged here for several nights while on a working trip, and I cannot recommend a better environment. The Homestead B&B provides the most comfortable and homey service one could ask for. The architecture is beautiful, the beds are beyond comfortable, and the morning breakfast is delicious. Mary-Kay and Chet are the kindest pair you could meet and do everything they they can to make sure your stay here as pleasant as possible. The home itself has a fascinating history dating back to the late 1800's and provides you a deep appreciation for the space. This is without a doubt the place to be for any occasion. Highly recommended.

Thank you Mary Kay for treating me like a member of your family. I grew up in the area, but most of the family has move to the surrounding towns. So instead of picking a "fight" with siblings, I picked your place (in the center of them all). I am so glad I did!!! Your place is so warm and inviting and perfect for a weekend getaway or to spend the holidays. The 1850's charm of the house made it feel more like home than a bed and breakfast. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful. If I am ever back in IL, please keep the light on for me.

Just returned from a girls getaway at The Homestead and it was just what I needed! Cozy, welcoming, amazing murals and very clean! Lots of warm, inviting places to curl up with a good book or fun magazine with a glass of wine. We enjoyed lunch in Yorkville and all the adorable boutiques and antique shops in Morris. Can't wait for a return visit - my husband might even get to come along the next time.

For the last 18 years, I have used a variety of Lancome products. One day a friend told me about Vertere so I decided to give it a try. I started with the Dramatic Transformation Cream SPF 15, I saw a difference in my skin the very next day. I like how I only need one product instead of many products to achieve better and healthier, smoother, and firmer looking skin. My husband not only likes how my skin looks he also likes that I am saving money by buying one product instead of many. I love it when I go out with my 27 year old son and get asked if I am his sister or wife. I am 47 and people think I am in my 30's. Thanks Vertere. I have now started using Vertere Refining Treatment Cleanser, and I love it. If you haven't tried any of the Vertere products you are missing out and so is your skin.

Years and years of topicals, facials, dietary changes, various skin care lines and regimens did little to stave off adult acne. They might relieve symptoms for a period of time, but those annoying, embarrassing bumps would come rising to the surface again. In my early-thirties, my skin has calmed down a bit, times of unrest are now directly correlated to hormonal cycles easily tracked by calendar. At this point in my life, I'm noticing the scars of long since gone acne, tiny freckles from sun and the onset of fine lines (we'll just say they're from laughter). Apologies for the diatribe, it was all to provide a background on my adult acne experience. When Vertere was recommended to me, I was hesitant because I've tried many other products with varying success rates and sometimes at great cost. I wasn't sure I wanted to invest in another possibly empty promise. With some reluctance, I started using the Dramatic Transformation Cream in February and within weeks my skin was firmer (a result I didn't know I would enjoy as much as I do) and my hyperpigmentation was beginning to fade! My one complaint was that my breakouts hadn't lessened, though the degree of healing was accelerated. With luck, the Refining Treatment Cleanser became available at the end of March and I decided to give the entire skincare line a shot. I'm SO glad I took the chance! It's taken about a month for my skin to turn around, but I'm incredibly happy with the results now that I've been using the products in tandem. The cleanser and cream are so gentle, yet so effective! Acne minimized, scaring healed, skin tightened! Another huge benefit is that I'm not layering a moisturizer, acne cream and sunblock -- this product does it all! I can say with confidence that Vertere is a miracle-maker (and I would never use that term lightly)!

I LOVE that this product is specifically designed to address aging, hyperpigmentation and adult acne at the same time so that I can stop layering products (my beauty routine was getting a bit exhausting). My skin is clearer, it feels firmer and softer, and the fine lines I was starting to see, well, I just don't see them anymore. And it's made a BIG difference in my hyperpigmentation. I've struggled with this for years and this is the only thing that's really made a difference. I also love that it's hydroquinone-free, and that it has lactic acid, salicylic acid, arbutin, peptides, and acai. I've always used quality skin care but I never received compliments about how my skin looked until I started using this. This is a HG!
Update: I had a meeting last week with a client, and we were girl-chatting, and her jaw dropped when I told her I'm turning 40 - she thought I was AT LEAST 10 YEARS YOUNGER THAN THAT!!! I LOVE VERTERE!!!

It would be hard to top the hype that accompanied Rachelle Chong into her job as the youngest of five commissioners at the FCC. The 35-year-old Republican lawyer from San Francisco beamed up to Washington last spring by donning a pair of Spock ears during her swearing-in party, and wore a brightly lit Trek communicator pin during her first press conference.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
So far, Chong, the first commissioner to publicly utter the words "surfing the Net," has been maddeningly vague about how she intends to vote on Net issues. For example, on the crucial question of freedom of expression in cyberspace, she said: "At present, because I'm an admirer of the First Amendment, I advocate free speech. I wouldn't want to characterize my position as absolute, however." Maybe we should call in Spock for a Vulcan mind meld.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The tab for environmental monitoring of a $6 million improvement to Sir Francis Drake Boulevard through Samuel P. Taylor State Park is headed up again.
County officials recently approved a fifth "addendum" to a contract for John Roberto Associates, providing the firm with another $25,000 to bring its total cost to date to $265,000. The contract extends work to February 2014.
The firm, initially hired for about $110,000 to coordinate various agency meetings on the road project and provide data to respond to public commentary, is monitoring compliance with various agency permits as well as requirements imposed by a detailed environmental analysis. The spending is in addition to the $1.6 million cost of the environmental report, project design and related work by BKF Engineers. The environmental report alone cost $880,000.
The complicated project involves resurfacing 5.2 miles of the narrow, winding roadway, repair of an unstable slope, replacing 68 drainage culverts and installing rip rap to control erosion, and closing 23 existing roadside pullout areas while improving five pullouts with paved areas.
Elimination of a slide toppling a section of the roadway a quarter-mile inside the park from Shafter Bridge, along with construction of a retaining wall, has been completed. The second phase of the project involves an area stretching from Shafter Bridge to Platform Bridge Road and includes resurfacing the road, repair or replacement of 72 drainage culverts, and related work later this year.
Because spotted owls nest in the area, construction is limited to weekdays from August to November.
Other environmental concerns requiring monitoring by John Roberto Associates include preservation and enhancement of fish habitat.
The project will maintain the same road width while improving vehicle turnouts without cutting a single redwood tree.
An initial plan that called for chopping 17 redwoods to maximize safety was dumped amid public furor.
A survey several years ago indicated average daily traffic of about 5,000 vehicles, with average bicycle usage increasing from 30 on weekdays to 136 on weekends. There were 20 traffic accidents on the road, none fatal, from 2001 to 2006.

Our waterpark maintenance crew takes their jobs pretty seriously. And today was a great day for Raging Waters as our crew was able to celebrate a small milestone in our pre-season opening process. Our first pool at Raging Waters is now filled, filtered and treated!!! One down, more than dozen left to go.
The first pool we always fill first is the deep pool at Raging Waters. This is the catch pool for Shotgun Falls and the Rope Swing. It is 10 feet deep and holds approximately 100,000 gallons of water. From the time we turn on the fill line, it takes about 12 hours to fill. From a mechanical standpoint, the filtration system is relatively easy to start up, and rarely gives us any issues. So from a mental perspective, it is nice to start with an "easy" aquatic system and work from there. It was a great feeling today to walk back to Raging Waters and see a crystal clear blue pool that looks refreshing enough to jump right in. But not so fast, the water temp is currently only 64F…rest assured it will be quite warmer on opening day!
On a side note, I was able to catch some video footage of our crew "topping off" the pool….it may be low technology, but it worked…. Glad to see that the crew still has a sense of humor!
Enjoy the video!

Supporting Doug Johnson
October 30, 2012
I've had the belated opportunity to discuss GGG's Douglas County commissioner candidate forum at CVIC hall on Oct. 16 with my fellow observers.
We noticed that when Frank Godecke, candidate for County Commissioner District 3, responded to questions, he invariably referenced answers already given by Doug Johnson and Barry Penzel or said he needed more information on that topic.
At the last Commissioners' meeting, Mr. Godecke gave a statement from a printed text during public opinion, with which he seemed unfamiliar. Mr. Godecke also stated that he would do his best to fulfill the duties of a Commissioner, if elected, but it would be difficult during hay season.
It has been my honor to become recently acquainted with Mr. Godecke. I salute the hard work, industriousness, and respect he pays to his heritage as a steward of his family agricultural concerns. However, when it comes to the skills and abilities needed for the job of county commissioner, it's clear that Mr. Godecke is in over his head.
Further, if Mr. Godecke won, the county would be losing Doug Johnson's years of relationship-building and influence with the state legislature.
Recommended Stories For You
No matter who wins the election nationally, it will be a while before Nevada climbs out of the fiscal pit. The legislature will be under great fiscal pressure to attempt to pass along unfunded mandates to county governments, a political minefield Mr. Johnson has proved adroit at navigating.
Doug Johnson has been an honest broker for the tax and fee payers of Douglas County who has demonstrated a high degree of competency in dealing with the complex issues and rapidly changing circumstances encountered in our county's governance.

Back story...
I have an autoimmune disorder called Sjogren's Syndrome.� While I really don't have any of the clinical problems with the disease (dry eyes, mouth, etc.) I do have high levels of the autoantibodies that are associated with it; anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibodies, one of which is associated with congenital heart block.
In addition to my ob/midwife practice, I also see a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist.� I am now going into 21 weeks and have had two ultrasounds by this point, the second being a Level II ultrasound at 19 weeks, in which the little one was declared to be perfectly normal.� (I am amazed at how good "perfectly normal" sounds!).� From my understanding, since fetal heart block can occur up until about 32 weeks, my MFM recommended a referral to a Fetal Cardiologist with a fetal echocardiogram.
So... yesterday was our first visit, and our first echo.� It went very well, and there was nothing indicating any problem whatsoever.� The little one put on a show, constantly moving and being all around difficult, but the tech and the cardiologist were able to get some good images and measurements and are very happy with the way things are going.� However, since we are not past the point that we can be considered free and clear of the possibility of it developing, it was recommended that we do weekly echos until 26 weeks, then biweekly until 32 weeks.
Although it's an hour drive one way to the cardiologists' office, I'm happy to go every week, plus I get to see the little one on a regular basis. It's not as if I need the reassurance that things are fine (the constant acrobatics tell me that, plus the overwhelming sense that everything will work out all right), but I almost feel like if I don't go as recommended that I won't be doing everything I can to make sure that the baby is as healthy as possible.� Is that strange?� And is anyone else having them done on a regular basis?

Because for one thing, these are the same voice actors Rio's had in its previous incarnations - a series of character song CDs were released about a year or so before the anime began. It's the same as using the same cast of a visual novel in the anime version. They already are the characters.
And two, voice actors need jobs and money like everyone else. If they're okay with it, that's fine.

After watching it again an going back to the said part, I finally saw this scene. I agree, the highlight of this episode was when Mint was wearing a bunny suit. Where did she get it her size and how? I was not really into the whole space pinball thing. Maybe I do not like that kind of pinball in general.

I get hit w a strong whiff of lemongrass as opening note then the perfume dries down beautifully sweet not deviating far from the Juicy fragrance family. They didn't go too revolutionary w this scent compares to their other scents but the lemon is lovely & cheerful like liquid sunshine; I don't know if I've ever smelled anything quite like it. The patchouli & a bit of musk stays close to the body like going in for a hug others may smell it. I usually like perfumes that proceed me into a room & linger when I depart (air pollution! But I'm an old lady I shouldn't even be wearing something juicy c. as I am not their target audience but hey my money spends just as well as a 16 year old's lol). I had tucked this away by accident forgot I owned it & now I can't stop smelling my wrists. (Sigh) Imma ask Santa (parents) for a "big" bottle of some kind any kind of Juicy C. coz they can't seem to make a frag that is unappealing to me all of them are sooo good! But damn price pointe $$$ all I've ever could afford are rollerballs //my cosmetics are come by very dearly for me I wear a lot of ELF makeup, & VS/B&BW or celebrity fragrance body mists (8oz for $8 awesome) are my HG signature scents anything at all vanilla are my typical frag fare. I plan to buy another roller ball soon when finances permit a trip to Ulta :)

A beautiful summer daytime perfume! It smells like wild flowers and grass. I think it's the perfect scent to coordinate with breezy sundresses. I layer the body lotion with the perfume for staying power, and spray some at the waist of my dress or tank to smell floral all day.

I did not get any grassy notes from this. What I did get was a generic sweet floral. Nothing special about this one. On my skin, there was no change in scent. They way it smelled when I put it on was the same way it smelled hours later. I wonder of those who praised this would feel the same if it were put out by a lower end fragrance house. It's an ok scent. Just nothing original, and I would not repurchase. Thank goodness I purchased the mini size and not the full size bottle.

I was given this perfume as a gift and overall am happy with it. It does smell a bit like a grass but also very fresh, just don't overdue it! Two sprays and I'm good. The bottle is also super cute! The perfume came with a matching body lotion and to be honest when I put some on I would smell like an 'old lady' as my boyfriend told me, lol. I just gave it away and kept the perfume, I like it!

In my opinion this Peace Love and Juicy Couture Perfume is strictly to be sparyed onto skin only! I spray this on my wrist and back of hand and it transports me to a Forest full of green tea like scent i feel almost as if i am on a morning hike jogging in the fresh green mountain. After 25 minutes the scent morphs into the most sensuous wonderful mellow and not overdone floral Flower Power punch to your nose all the way to the drydown. This scent makes me happy and not to my surprise one of the best seller Happy Clinique perfume scent was produced by Rodrigo Flores-Roux the exact same men and nose that created this fantastic Peace, Love, and Juicy Couture. It is by far the most elegant fragrance compared to all other overly sweetened cotton candy glazed burnt caramel perfumes that is only widely accepted in this sugar crazed generation ( not to offend anyone i myself is a self proclaimed sugar scent crazed girl). Mr.Rodrigo is pretty good at makin happy-striking mood perfumes! When i spray this onto my wrist and arms i feel so in touch with nature, this perfume is delightfully adventuresome and has an extremely UNIQUE composition!Peace love and juicy perfume bottle is also excellent with a cool charm, I also decided to tie on a silk lime green ribbon inspired by Juicy Couture Viva la juicy.

On the new Christmas Special - WHEN is poor Thomas the gay footman going to get some action or at least sex or a cuddle ? I suppose its progress that the other footman has deigned to be friends with him after Thomas saving him from being beaten up at the village fair and getting the beating himself .... Thomas should really leave with a good reference and move to London to work for a gay Earl and have a great time with his own kind.
Mrs Patmore has a lucky escape too from the village store-keeper who wanted her for her cooking!
Good to see Pheobe Nicholls again and being nasty as usual, and dear Peter Egan.

Well, some comments about it - I see Denis Lill from the old BBC series Lillie played the old Scottish Lord. Denis played Oscar Wilde in Lillie with Francesca Annis.
In this Christmas show we had two things lifted directly from the old Upstairs/Downstairs. The cook has a romance with a tradesman who she later rejected because he was a flirt - that happened to Mrs. Bridges exactly.
Now this new girl is coming to stay - just like Georgina in Up/Down - she came from Southwold to live at Eaton Square.
Poor Mary. What a shock with his death like that. It was a cruel twist after such happiness.

Matthew Crowley looked pretty damn dead to me. Those old cars from that period were total deathtraps. It'll be interesting to see the little trollop cousin living at Downton Abbey in season 4, and like the above poster I sure hope Thomas finally gets laid, poor guy. If I were a gay servant in that time period I would be heading off to London, where at least I could go out and about in the city and be around other gay men. Working at an estate in a small village in the hinterlands would've been so frustrating.

R44, I'd beg to differ. There are a number of guys in showbiz today who first made it big on Broadway before moving into Hollywood roles: Matthew Morrison, Cheyenne Jackson, Barrett Foa, Andrew Rannells, etc. Also, he played but one of nearly 20 characters on "Downton Abbey," not its lead or anything. Finally, it's difficult to see the series going more than two more seasons at most, if that. The British aristocracy started dying off in the '20s, and the Great Depression really killed it, so there's only so much farther it can go (and Julian Fellowes has already announced that he's developing a prequel to it, since he too knows it must end soon).

The Matthew/Mary romance was the most boring part of the show! I never liked it. My favorite was the Sybil/Branson romance. I was always annoyed at how little screen time that story arc got. They literally got two minutes every episode, it's insane. And then they killed off Sybil.. I had no reason to watch anymore. I only watched for them anyway. Sybil and Branson were a huge hit. They were immensely popular. I don't understand why they got so little screen time.. killing Sybil really was the last straw though. She was my favorite character and they lost a lot of viewers when they did that. Killing Sybil AND Matthew in the same season.. isn't that a bit much?

The deaths of Sybil and Matthew have actually freed up the board for some interesting chess moves. Because while the characters were 'nice', drama requires conflict.

Clearly this Christmas special was shot before Stevens went public during press for The Heiress that he might not be returning. I think everything you've read after that - from the creators, the heads of drama at ITV, etc. - was to put people off the scent until the Christmas special aired.
British actors tend to have a "jobbing" attitude about their work, it's always "on to the next thing." Killing Matthew was obviously a creative decision and Stevens was putting a positive spin on it, i.e., "episodic television has its downside," "it's good to do different things," etc.
I'm not sure why everyone jumps to the assumption that Stevens wanted out. I mean, he's only ever played pie-faced poshos like Crawley so things aren't going to get that much more interesting for him.

I can understand being upset. Actors commit to being part of a television series knowing it is going to be a many year commitment to that character if it is a hit. The show gives them tons of paychecks and publicity and ample opportunity to show off what they can do. To just walk away from it prematurely when the writers don't want you too is unfair to their vision as it forces them to change the story they want to tell and disrepectful to the people who have allowed you to enjoy so much success.
As you said, it won't go on more than one season or possibility two anyway. Would it have killed him to wait it out and continue giving the writers the Matthew character who was always crafted to be a central part of the show.
I get actors enjoy doing different things and honestly I won't even miss Matthew as he never really interested me but it was still a rude move and disrespectful to the show.

MARY!Producers would not think twice about axing your part if it made dramatic sense or if they needed to retool the show for whatever reason. If there's one career/industry where loyalty (an archaic concept in this age of mergers and re-organizations) is truly a one-way street, it's films/TV.
[quote]Branson can get entangled with Shrimpy's daughter, but he and Lady Mary could also begin to see an understanding between them and Lady Mary's jealousy.
Interesting ideas, if perhaps a bit predictable. One thing we already know, through the character of that maid who made the moves on Tom and was unceremoniously dismissed, is that there is no turning back for Tom. He has crossed over, been welcomed, and now is part of the shielded upper class, for however long that lasts within the historical context of the show. He and Daisy will probably represent the strengthening of the working class, which just at about this point in history, is allowed to seek its own success by becoming more enterprising or taking advantage of opportunities laid before them. I know, another MARY! for this babble.
Perhaps shuttling back and forth between this thread and the Facts Of Life is not such a good idea after all.

British TV doesn't work like that. It's the norm here for actors to only stay on TV shows for a a few (or even one) series. Staying for years is pretty unusual.

The worst part of Downton has always been the unbelievable way everything seems to work out for the Crawleys.
One heir dies, Matthew comes around and of course he's perfect for Mary. (If Patrick really is alive, thank heavens his survival as in doubt as he's now disfigured).
Crippled in the war? Unable to have children? No problem. He will heal miraculously.
Married to the wrong girl? Thank goodness for a plague. And he inherits her money to boot. And saves Downton with it just before it goes under.
And has a male heir, right out of the gate.
The man's luck had to run out. His death and Sybil's death makes the show somewhat more realistic.
The great thing about Season 3 is how much the Crawleys were played more brutally with the under classes reminding them that the real world is not what they think it is. Matthew had it coming.

Not happy with Matthew being out. Don't like the daughter from Scottland. And I hate the prospect of having three young women now open for romantic relationships.
Overall I have to say that the downstairs characters are a lot more interesting than the upstairs characters. I like Penelope Wilton. But her sancrosanct character character is going on my nerves. I'm sure she'll even find something uplifting in her son's death. Lady Grantham is even more boring. Her sole purpose in the script seems to be looking understanding.

Pamela Myers was incredibly hammy and out of control on stage in that Tales of the City musical at ACT last year. I'd hate to think what she would have been like under an even weaker director on Follies.
But then, everyone was hammy in Tales of the City so perhaps it was encouraged.

Matthew was such an awful, boring character, I'm not surprised Dan Stevens got tired of playing him. I can't imagine that an actor would want to go on playing such a bland character for more than 3 yrs. But I really can't imagine what roles he could get in Hollywood.
Jessica/Lady Sybil I can kind of understand leaving because she had actual buzz/interest in Hollywood and the UK. She's already booked a major role opposite Will Smith and she's up for the female lead in the Captain America sequel.

It works with TV work and in the comedic circuits on film (the Stiller people, the SNL people, the Coen Bros people, and the Rogen clan). But, as I said previously and still stand firm on, it's a very narrow one-way street.

Don't know Dan Stevens but I suspect he just wants out of the regularity of playing the same dull character and yet, at the same time, has no great expectations of a big Hollywood career.
It seems to be very hard for Americans to understand that concept.
And if Matthew remained, where would his and Mary's plotline go at this point? It's at a dead end and I believe Julian Fellowes is well-aware of it.

I get really confused over DA because on PBS in America they showed the 2011/1920 New Years Episode. I watched it online, s2e9, last night.
Europe saw the s3e9 Christmas special last week.
The streaming site I was at only has s3e1-8 as the s3e9/1922(?) Christmas episode hasn't been uploaded there.
This is a big relief as
1] I thought I missed the Shirley M episode(s) and
2] I will spend New Year's Day with a DA s3e1-8 marathon!

R81 is correct. Realize it's a different thread, but a lot of you on this board like and watch Mad Men, correct? Imagine how Bryan Batt, Jared Harris; perhaps even Mark Moses (unless he was going back to Desperate Housewives anyway?) felt when they were written out. As I understand it (SAG-AFTRA people, please correct me?), the standard TV show contract is 7 years, but you CAN be written out after any 13-week period.
(I have always understood THAT delightful proviso in the contract is thanks to Ronald Reagan's time as SAG president.)
I have mixed feelings: it is too bad that a great couple like Mary/Matthew will end, and I also agree with the posters that are not quite sure what type of career Dan Stevens expects to have, outside of England and/or stage, but good for him for "making the first move." THere is very little concept of loyalty from the heads of TV shows to actors, in my experience (of reading about same.)
Really, no one is irreplaceable; (a) David Caruso, (b) all the leads who left/were replaced on the Law & Order shows (even SVU, still going - and great episodes this year - without Meloni, which I NEVER thought would happen.)
I, with a taste for character actors, want only to see MORE MORE MORE of the butler; I LOVE that face!!! (oh, and switch-hitting a bit: love O'Brien, too!)

Thomas needs to find a potential romance or some job elsewhere so that Jimmy can come to realize that he's attracted to Thomas and we can at least have a hot snogging session.
The last scene with Mary and Matthew where she claims she wants to be the woman he saw her to be has potential to make her start to change her ways, but we'll see...

Helen Mark discovers the myths and legends of the landscape of Snowdonia. A recent million pound appeal by the National Trust successfully enabled the Trust to buy one of Wales' most iconic farms, Llyndy Isaf, and the land around it on the shores of Llyn Dinas. As well as being important environmentally, legend states that the area is the setting for the mythical battle between the red and white dragon, the red dragon being the victor and claiming the honour of becoming the country's national symbol.
Helen also visits Ty Hyll, the Ugly House, a cottage saved from dereliction in the 1980s by the Snowdonia Society. The true origins of the house remain shrouded in mystery, although legend tells of it being built by two outlaw brothers as a 'Ty Un Nos', a house built overnight between sunset and sunrise with walls, roof and a smoking chimney. Under ancient law anyone succeeding in doing this could claim the freehold.
What other mysteries surround this stunning landscape?

A lawsuit was filed by a man who wanted to choose his own auto repair place, instead of the one that his insurance company suggested. This lawsuit eventually lead to a decision by the California court of Appeals to open up another option that consumers could sue their insurers under. It is expected that there will be an increase in the number of consumer protection lawsuits filed against California insurers as a result.
There have been plenty of situations where someone chose to sue his or her insurance company. The laws regarding this might be different from one state to the next. In California, there is something called the Unfair Insurance Practices Act. If I am understanding correctly, this Act basically prevents people from being able to file a lawsuit against their insurance company.
Instead, the California Insurance Code gives the state insurance commissioner the legal power to pursue matters relating to the types of things that a person would want to sue their insurance company about. This would include a variety of matters: situations where an insurer misrepresented the coverage or benefits of its policies, instances where the insurer delayed the claims process, or times when an insurer advised a customer who had a claim against seeking legal action.
A recently decided lawsuit changed things. A man named Chris Hughes had auto insurance from the Progressive Group of Insurance Companies. His vehicle was involved in a car wreck on August 15, 2005. Hughes wanted to have the repairs done at a specific repair shop that he selected. This repair shop was not one that was included in Progressive's Direct Repair Program (DRP).
What happened next was that an attendant informed Hughes that his claim for car repairs would get approved more easily if he had those repairs done at a nearby facility that was a part of the DRP program. In short, this means that Progressive steered a customer to a repair facility that the insurer favored. This is prohibited by law.
Chris Hughes filed a lawsuit against the Progressive Direct Insurance Company for its failure to notify customers, (like himself), about their right to select the repair shop that their vehicle would be repaired at. The lawsuit was filed as a civil action as an individual, and also as a proposed class (of people who also could have experienced similar circumstances). The claim was filed under California's Unfair Competition Law (UCL), instead of the Unfair Insurance Practices Act.
A panel of three judges decided that Chris Hughes was within his rights to sue Progressive. There is a law in the California Insurance Code that bars insurance companies from requiring or recommending that a customer use a specific auto repair shop unless that customer is informed in writing about their state-given right to select their own repair dealer.
Even without that specific law, the judges decided that there wasn't anything barring a customer from suing an insurer under the Unfair Insurance Practices Act. This could potentially "open the floodgates" and cause an increase in the number of lawsuits filed against insurance companies in California from this point on.

For many years, granola was the lumpy woolen sweater of the food world.
You dipped your spoon into that hearty bowl of oats, nuts and dried fruit in the same way you might slip on a third layer of clothing on a cold morning. Granola has always signified back-to-the-earthiness, the whole-grains ethos that sprouted out of American counterculture in the 1960s and '70s - so much so that its very name became a synonym for hippie living.
Granola could be many things, from a dorm-room staple to a parfait topping, but it was decidedly not chic.
If you're still talking about it that way, though, take a closer look at the cereal aisle in your supermarket, or the menu at that innovative gastropub around the corner. Granola has traded in the bulky sweater for a little black dress. All over the country, small-batch entrepreneurs see granola as a booming growth sector, while chefs view it as an elegant and wide-open canvas for culinary experimentation.
Born in the better-eating movement of the late 19th century and revived a half-century ago as an earnest health food, granola is suddenly sowing its wild oats, in variations that are lavish, whimsical and sometimes unapologetically fattening.
Any tour of this new world should start in Los Angeles by kicking off one's sandals at Sunny Spot, a Caribbean-island-spirited restaurant in Venice hatched in 2011 by Roy Choi, the man who introduced the world to the Korean taco. At brunch during the balmier months, Sunny Spot serves a granola dish that might have been dreamed up in a collaboration between Bob Marley and Andy Warhol.
For one thing, it's not sepia-toned. It's green and orange and yellow and blue. When Choi first went to his Sunny Spot team and suggested a fresh take on granola, he told them he wanted to see color.
''It's always just so brown," he said. "Why can't we make it really, really festive? "
He also told them to shake up expectations. "I wanted it to be this bowl of twists and turns, instead of just one scoop after another," he said. "I don't understand the process of eating things just to submit yourself to boredom. "
While the oat-and-nut clusters woven into his dish are fairly traditional, nothing else is. Depending on the season and the whims of the kitchen, you might get a mouthful of pickled mango, green papaya or compressed pineapple. You'll probably find fresh leaves of sorrel and mint. And, floating in a luxurious pool of almond milk and creme fraiche, you'll encounter nuggets of childhood nostalgia that might give Alice Waters an attack of the hives: Fruity Pebbles.
As Choi put it, "Every bite, you get a new thing. "
That might as well be the mantra for the American granola renaissance, especially in restaurants. There are plenty of new morning variations, like the one at Longman & Eagle in Chicago, where the chef, Jared Wentworth, has applied his modernist technique to a question that he, too, put to his team: "What would make a cool granola and yogurt dish? "
The answer involves chewy "leather" made of dehydrated yogurt; house-made Corn Pops that are soaked in milk for hours and turned into a sweet puree; the snap of cranberries and walnuts that have been reduced to a nub of tartness; and a smear of dulce-de-leche-style caramel. Think of the dish as Wonderland, with granola as the innocent Alice who's ambled in.
But chefs are also whipping up granolas - sweet ones, savory ones, spicy ones - that bring extra layers of texture and flavor to appetizers and main courses. A rosemary-and-pistachio mix becomes a crust around a piece of elk at Oak at Fourteenth, a restaurant in Boulder, Colo. A pine-nut-and-citrus granola might accompany seared scallops or roasted sweet potatoes.
And if there's a subtle hint of hippie consciousness in that, all the better. After all, said Steve Redzikowski, the chef and an owner, "We're in Boulder. "
Just last month, at the annual Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, granola proved itself a nationwide obsession, with offerings from Napa Valley (Nature's Habit) and North Carolina (Millchap Bakery's version, which is made with sweet potatoes) and countless points in between. "We're seeing lots of permutations and combinations," said Louise Kramer, the communications director for the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade, which held the event.
Credit the growing hunger for all things local and handmade. Credit the ever-churning American obsession with health, even though granola, with its generous strafings of sugar and fat, has always been something of a sweet-toothed crasher.
''There's a healthy glow around granola," Kramer said.

Jenny Johnson has received death threats and many vulgar comments on her Twitter page after getting into a beef with Chris Brown.
R&B bad boy Chris Brown took down his Twitter account Sunday night after getting into a beef with a female comedian in a series of tasteless tweets.
The Twitter tirade, which was captured by Buzzfeed.com, shows a nasty tit-for-tat with Jenny Johnson after she replied to one of Brown's tweets about his appearance.
"I look old as (expletive)! I'm only 23…," Brown wrote.
Johnson, who has more than 308,000 followers, replied: "I know! Being a worthless piece of (expletive) can really age a person."
Her comment was retweeted more than 3,400 times.
In response, Brown tweeted that she was engaging in oral sex with him, and later wrote, "Thanks HO!" when she corrected him about a misspelling.

Years in the making, and created in near solitude deep in the heart of suburban San Antonio, these eccentric Texans, who do not tour nor make videos, and who are stubbornly non-commercial, produce music simply to keep their sanity.
I-10 & W.AVE. is presented in a custom made cardboard package (6 x 8.5 inches) which also holds a 64-page mini magazine featuring a number of graphic and typographic projects—visual remixes and previews (singles?) of recent and upcoming Emigre Music releases.
Typeface design and development remains central to our activities. With this issue we continue to use Emigre magazine as both a testing ground for new fonts—such as Los Feliz designed by Christian Schwartz—and as a type specimen for our existing library of typefaces.

No offers for Barnetta
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta is yet to receive any approach from the Premier League.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 10/06/09 4:59pm
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta is yet to receive any approach from the Premier League, according to his agent.
The Swiss star has admitted that he would be willing to discuss a potential switch to England this summer, should a suitable offer be forthcoming.
The likes of Arsenal, Fulham and Aston Villa are all reported to be keen on the tricky winger, but are yet to make a move.
Barnetta's representative, Franco Moretti, claims he has received interest from across Europe for his client, but insists there has been no contact from England.
"Up until now nobody has asked about Tranquillo from England, there has been no interest from English clubs," Moretti told Sport.co.uk.
"To be honest, we have offers from other countries but no offers currently from any Premier League sides. No coaches have been in touch
"We have had some requests from other German sides, but if the right offer doesn't come in he may stay one more year with Bayer Leverkusen because they are building a good team. But in England no club has enquired about him.
"He was linked with Fulham and Arsenal but I know the coach (Roy Hodgson) very well and there has been no contact.
"He has never called me or asked about Barnetta. Equally Arsene Wenger, there has been no interest or phone call."
