We all know what a boycott is but this is a new and well deserved twist on that tactic.
As reported at Queers United, the infamous, homophobic American Family Association (AFA) has called for another boycott. This time the AFA is upset over the Campbell Soup Company's recent Swanson print ads in The Advocate that portray the GLBT community in a positive and inclusive way.
According to MediaDailyNews, the most contentious is a two-page ad for Swanson's broth that shows two lesbian proprietors and a young boy, identified in the ad as their son, in their Manhattan restaurant with a bowl of soup made with the broth. Other ads depict other gay chefs extolling the product's virtues.
The ads were designed by the staff of The Advocate for Campbell as part of a larger campaign crafted by Omnicom Group's BBDO, New York
In response to AFA's reaction, Queers United is calling for a BUYCOTT of all Campbell's products and are "urging pro-equality consumers to praise the company for showing a commitment to diversity. Your calls, letters, and emails are needed in the face of the thousands who have called the company with disapproving words."
Here's the Campbell's contact info:
Send an email to the Campbell Soup Company President Douglas Conant. Tell him you want his company to continue their commitment to diversity and support of LGBT people and families.
After sending your email, please call Campbell Soup Company (800-257-8443) and their Swanson division (1-800-442-7684) and let the company know you will continue to support them because of their gay and lesbian ads.
Forward this e-mail to your friends and family so they will know about Campbell's support of equality and LGBT issues.

Just a question... Why was some of the AFA people going through The Advocate in the first place?

So this Friday, at the urging of the pulmonologist, I took L in to the ER because of her cold.
We were admitted to the pulmonary ward within a couple hours.
So we got to spend the night in the same hospital that G died in. Effin' awesome! /sigh
They are now treating her as though she has asthma on top of everything else. When we were released it was with 2 more daily meds (a steroid and another asthma medication).
She has a right heart cath and bronchoscopy on December 18th. That procedure can be risky in kids with PH.
One thing after another. It just. keeps. coming.
The tears have started up again. I'm dreading the holidays. Bad enough that we should have been celebrating with an infant in the house, now all we'll have during the holidays is her ashes, but on top of that, not knowing what all is going on with L.
She takes Tracleer, Lasix, Miralax, Albuterol, Atrovent, and Flovent every day now. That is a crapload for a kid to be on.
She also is on 1 litre of oxygen with exercise, and currently using it at night because of this cold.
Everythings spinning so hard I can't see any good any more.

Wandering Continents
Article excerpt
Wandering continents
ANYONE who has looked at a world map must have noticed how snugly the coastlines of Africa and the Americas could be made to fit together, if the intervening ocean were removed. Modern geophysics has established that all of the Earth's landmasses were indeed joined together in one supercontinent, Pangaea, hundreds of millions of years ago, and that this supercontinent was broken apart, with the land masses drifting to their present positions on the globe.
This idea took many years to become established. Speculations about the fit of the continents go back to Francis Bacon (1561-1626), but the acknowledged "father' of the idea of continental drift was the German astronomer and meteorologist Alfred Wegener, who published the first comprehensive statement of the theory in 1912. Wegener thought that the continents might move through the thinner crust of the ocean floor, like icebergs ploughing through the sea, and he gathered a wealth of evidence showing how well the continents could be fitted together like some global jigsaw puzzle. But the idea of continents moving through the rocks of the sea floor did not seem feasible, and found little favour until the 1950s, when the development of new geological techniques provided conclusive evidence that the continents do move.
The key evidence came from magnetic studies of the ocean floors. These showed that the crust of the Atlantic Ocean floor is arranged symmetrically on either side of a great ridge of volcanic activity which runs roughly down the centre of the ocean bed. The interpretation of this discovery is that new oceanic crust is being created at the mid-ocean ridge, where it wells up through a crack in the Earth's crust and is pushing out on either side, steadily widening the Atlantic.
In other parts of the world the reverse happens. The North Pacific, for example, has no oceanic ridge, but there is a deep trench running down the west of the ocean floor, next to the Eurasian landmass. There the thin crust of the ocean floor is being pushed under the continent, back down into the mantle where it melts and is ultimately recycled. The net effect is that there is no change in the surface area of the Earth--spreading in the Atlantic and at other sites is balanced by contraction of the Pacific. …

Hero shoe brand Robert Clergerie has signed on the dotted line of a footwear deal with irreverent French fashion powerhouse Sonia Rykiel.
Its an exciting step forward if youll pardon the pun for both brands, which are undergoing something of a sea change at the moment: Rykiel under the new artistic direction of Geraldo Da Conceicao, Clergerie under that of Roland Mouret.
I am very happy to be able to associate the name of Robert Clergerie with the relaunch strategy of Sonia Rykiel, commented Eric Langon, CEO of Sonia Rykiel, in a statement released today. Their expertise will be an important advantage for our creative overhaul and international development.
President of Robert Clergerie, Eva Taub, added: We are honoured to have our ateliers and our savoir-faire at the service of a French brand which is so dear to many women and to contribute to the success of Sonia Rykiels expansion.
The licensing deal will kick in next season, for s/s 2014.

We can guide you through the full funeral process. From registering the death to choosing which method would be best for your loved one, whether it be burial or cremation.
The business was started in Gateshead as part of Murray Memorials, who have created memorials for generations.
Murray Memorials are a local family run business, who believe a memorial is the last gift you can give to someone so it needs to be done right. The new generation of workers have proven to be innovative in their approach and are all trained with in their chosen field.
In 2015, Murray Memorials created Gateshead & Felling Funeral Services as we felt we could offer a complete all in one service to the public, providing memorials, funeral services, and floral tributes or flower hire. We can even provide green burials, or bespoke memorials to meet your exact needs.
We have the use of a green burial plot in the Durham Hills, just outside of Consett, with it's own chapel. This plot provides lovely views across Derwentside in peaceful surroundings. It's home to a plethora of wildlife and songbirds. There's onsite facilities, and is open 7 days a week. It is also easily accessibly car and public transport. The green burial is also much cheaper than a local authority burial (or burial of cremated ashes), and is becoming more popular.
Please feel free to call and discuss your requirements over the telephone on 0191 4695442 at any time you want, or visit our showroom to peruse our selection of tributes and to find a beautiful floral tribute to honour your loved one.
If you have a funeral plan with any other funeral director – you can still use the funeral plan with us – and it could save you a substantial amount of money.

Symantec today revealed its chief executive officer Michael Brown will step down, as it published revised fourth quarter earnings predictions below analyst estimates.
Michael Brown will leave the company after less than two years in the role, the firm said. It did not detail the reasons for his departure.
Symantec's board of directors has begun searching for a new CEO, and Brown will stay on until a successor has been appointed.
It has created an "office of the president" to keep Symantec on its strategic path throughout the CEO search and transition.
The office consists of Ajei Gopal, who joins the company from Silver Lake Partners as chief operating officer, as well as Symantec CFO Thomas Seifert and general counsel Scott Taylor.
Symantec chairman Daniel Schulman thanked Brown for his service.
"Under his leadership, Symantec has successfully executed against the five priorities of its transformation, including divesting Veritas, developing a new product roadmap in enterprise security, improving our cost structure, strengthening our executive team, and continuing to return significant cash to shareholders," Schulman said in a statement.
"Given our solid financial foundation and clear path forward as the leader in cybersecurity, this is the right time to transition leadership for Symantec's next chapter of growth."
Brown said he was "extremely proud" of what his team had accomplished.
The CEO departure comes as Symantec cut its quarterly guidance, sending its shares down 16.4 percent to US$15.12 (A$19.80) before the bell.
Symantec had initially estimated revenue of between US$885 million and US$915 million for the quarter ended April 1, but today revised that to US$873 million.
Analysts were expecting revenue of US$901.2 million, according to Thomson Reuters.
Symantec blamed the shortfall on a shift in the buying preferences of its enterprise security customers, which led to lower than expected license revenue during the quarter.
"This included a faster than expected shift within our product mix to subscription and ratable contract structures," Symantec said.
"The shift to more ratable revenue is consistent with our unified security strategy, as more customers are buying security offerings that require continuous protection and monitoring to remain up-to-date and protected against the latest threats," Brown said.
Enterprise security revenue is now expected to come in at US$467 million, compared to previous forecasts of US$480 million to US$500 million.

Is it a catchy song? A pretty face? A killer choreography? Maybe a great vocal? How about a variety star? The problem with that question is, well, the answer could be anything. Girls' Generation slayed with a cute tune and some skinny jeans, while EXID became relevant with a fancam, of all things. Considering these facts, we should probably revise our question — what sustains a Kpop girl group? What builds a fan base, and keeps them interesting comeback after comeback? And there's only one answer to this question: everything.
That's right — dynamic is the true key to a girl group's success. Every member brings something, whether it be talent, personality, or visuals, to make the group well-rounded and likeable across the board. Without it, the group will undoubtedly flop after that one catchy song falls off the charts. The importance of group dynamic seems to be a constant over the years, from legends like Girls' Generation to new trends like TWICE. Let's take a look at how dynamics have affected groups, both in success and failure, over the years.
From August 5th, 2007, it was clear that Kpop had a dynamic rookie monster in its hands — 9-member Girls' Generation, who would, a few years later, become Kpop's most powerful group, transcending music and permeating into Asian culture itself. But it wasn't just good looks or "Gee" that made them the girl group they've become. The group was designed to succeed, with four strong vocalists (Taeyeon, Jessica, Seohyun, Tiffany) all with varying ranges, specialties and tonalities, four talented dancers (Yuri, Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, Yoona), an in-between who specializes in aegyo (Sunny), variety talents (Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, Sunny), and mind-blowing visuals (Yoona, Taeyeon).
The group could handle almost any song, from using lollipops on stage in "Kissing You" to rocking caps and ripped jeans in "I Got a Boy," because of the wide display of talent and ability. Members of the public were bound to be interested in one way or another — if you didn't like their song, you might have liked the intense choreography, Yoona's latest CF or Sooyoung's recent variety appearance. The group had a monopoly on what Kpop was all about: charm. Not just talent, but charm — the ability to captivate an audience through whatever means available. And that charm didn't leave with Jessica in 2014. The group was not only so established, but also strong enough with the mix of personalities, vocals, and dance that it could carry on without one of its central members just as successfully as it had before. SNSD is the poster child of group dynamics, gathering both public recognition and a gigantic fan base in the 8.5 years since that fateful August.
You also have f(x), which is another dynamic masterpiece and consequential success, with vocals (Krystal, Luna), visuals (Krystal, Victoria, Sulli), and rap (Amber, occasionally Sulli). The group has repeatedly received heat, however, for Krystal's seemingly cold personality, and Sulli's alleged lack of professionalism. Seven years in, f(x) has seen some loss in popularity as a result, losing "trend" status to newer groups like Girl's Day and AOA. It ultimately demonstrates that showing weakness in one of the many components of a girl group's charm can significantly affect success. Following the same line of logic to 2010, Miss A can push Suzy's charms all they want, but she alone can't make 4-member Miss A one of Kpop's legendary girl groups — a claim proven by their repeated hit-or-miss comebacks over the years. Despite the other member's talents, they don't make a dynamically full girl group in the public's eyes, which hurts their album sales and chart rankings time after time.
If we keep going forward in Kpop history, the trend is continuously prevalent. Yeah, Hyeri can act herself to fame on Reply 1988, but Sojin's vocals, combined with visuals from Minah and Yura and a newfound sexy concept, maintained interest in the group for years to come, ultimately making them one of Kpop's biggest success stories. SPICA's vocal-heavy lineup works well for the ear, but doesn't do much for the rest of their appeal, which shows in their long hiatuses and lack of top 10 hits. Hani can "wi arae, wi wi arae" to her heart's content for the fan camera, but it was ultimately great music, Solji's vocals and the group's unique variety color that gave them notoriety instead of disbandment.
As we dive head-first into a new year of Kpop, the same pattern unfolds before us, but even more noticeably than before. TWICE was designed almost exactly like Girls' Generation (arguably better, depending on who you ask). You have one power vocal at the center (Jihyo, like Taeyeon) with two other strong singers (Jeongyeon and Nayeon, like Tiffany, Seohyun and Jessica), great dancers (Momo and Mina, like Hyoyeon, Sooyoung and Yuri), an in-between that knows how to put on a show (Sana, like Sunny), and a beautiful visual (Tzuyu, like Yoona). The slight differences actually make TWICE even stronger as a dynamic group, with versatile rappers (Dahyun and Chaeyoung) and multi-national members from both Taiwan (Tzuyu) and Japan (Momo, Sana, Mina). And the incredible dynamic in this group is bringing them incredible success — their debut song "Like OOH-AHH" lurks at the edges of real-time top 10 on Korean charts 5 months after release, and their mini-album, The Story Begins, has sold 55,000 copies, more than albums from more established groups like Red Velvet have ever sold.
GFriend is another new girl group finding success, becoming the year's first act to hit a perfect all-kill with their song "Rough." But the difference between GFriend and TWICE is clear — TWICE is getting known for its wide variety of members, building a large fan base and public popularity in the process, while GFriend is getting popular off of a few slips on stage and a good song to follow. GFriend's success is nothing to laugh at right now, considering that even Taeyeon came nowhere near climbing over them on the charts this past week, but their continued relevance is questionable. Without members being known to the public, will the world get bored of their musical color (which notably takes after Girls' Generation's iconic debut song) and look for a group with a more exciting dynamic (a group possibly like TWICE)? A seeming lack of dynamic endangers GFriend's popularity in the same way that a strong dynamic ensures TWICE's success.
So, if you ever had a slight inclination to, oh, I don't know, build a Kpop girl group from scratch, be careful. Don't pick just anybody — make a group that catches your attention with not just one gimmick set to expire in a comeback or two, but everything. In the world of Kpop, a girl group that defines a Generation, one that makes you think about them Twice, can sing into a microphone, dance under the lights, pose for a camera, laugh on screen, and much, much more.

Age of Angels
- Greer Ogston
- 16 August 2007
This article is from 2007.
Addictive thriller
This piece explores one cataclysmic moment during which ten lives collide. The school kids' ball goes over the fence and across a busy road, beginning an unstoppable chain. One actor tells the story from multiple perspectives, creating each character in exquisite detail and providing an intricate glimpse of their lives from the inside out. A rail of clothes adorns a near empty stage, which gradually become cast aside as each character is revealed. It's a slow starter which evolves into an addictive thriller. (Greer Ogston)

No, that does not help.
It gives the same error.
Can you please tell me if I'm clicking on the right server behavior? Is there anything else I can try? It errors out every time when I click on "eCart add from recordset (WA_Store_Cart,WADAProducts)"
However - it works perfectly fine on a new page - ADDING the server behavior "Add to cart button". So that part of the functionality seems to work fine - it opens the same dialog box that it should on that other page. Except on the page (products_detail) that I need it to work on, it won't. Just gives me that javascript error and a blank dialog window behind it. So I assume there's something wrong on the page but making the change you just mentioned didn't work.

We're going to be spending our Thursday in the car, with a quick trip from South Carolina to West Virginia in our future. The drive will see us navigate the high terrain of Appalachian, which will really slow us down. A 366 mile journey will take us 6 1/2 hours to cover, which puts us at a sluggish 56.6mph pace. All right, let's roll!
At the base of the developing ridge over the eastern United States is one last mid level trough cycling east along the Gulf Coast. This is bringing quite a bit of rain and thunder to the Gulf Coast with some showers and storms welling far enough north to reach northern Georgia and downstate South Carolina. As we leave Anderson, don't be surprised if there are some clouds left over from the convective blowoff early in the day. After that, however, the drive will be great. It will be warm with sunny skies shining through the leafless trees of Appalachia. Huntington will finally be breaking out of the winter, and will be quite pleasant upon our arrival.

Sustainability Ambassadors at York University are agents of change for a sustainable future. Being a change agent is not as easy as it first may sound because of the differences inherent in a richly diverse community like York. To be a successful change agent at York, sustainability ambassadors must possess the understanding, motivation, and skills to create that change. Understanding relates to knowledge of the environmental, economic, and social issues related to sustainability. Motivation means having a personal set of values that include sustainability plus a desire to act on those values. Skills is about having the abilities and traits to convincingly share that understanding and motivation with others.

It must have been so astronomically fantastic and wine-infused that I've forgotten! Maybe we danced till dawn and laughed till we cried. Or maybe it was so fantastically boring that there's nothing to remember. Or maybe I have early dementia.
So anyway, I'm 48. It's hard to lose weight and it hurts when I fall. But I've accepted dust and rolling pet hair and dishes in the sink. That's right - I can go to bed with a dirty house! I genuinely don't care too much what people think of me. I'm much more confident than a younger me, and I speak up for myself. I always sit at the table in a work meeting. I rarely feel shame or shyness. I have started thinking about death and my health but I think that's because I lost Eric and Darian so young. Still, I think I should be doing more to stay healthy.
I do feel like a grown-up, but not completely. Someone told me recently that you don't feel like a grown-up until you have lost your parents. That's a sad & scary thought. Not one I want to stew on.
I like being 48! I love my life and my family and friends, and I'm incredibly lucky to be healthy. Here's to a fantastic year!

Britney Spears & Madonna: Another Duet!
Just two weeks into her sizzling Circus tour, it was revealed that Britney Spears will be performing with Madonna when she returns to the Big Apple on Monday (March 23)
"She'll be singing with Madonna in New York," the starlet's stylist David Alexander spilled to In Touch. "It will be 'Get Together' and 'Trouble.' So, together the song is called 'Lose Control.'"
The Material Mom may also pop in for one of Britney's LA shows on April 16 or 17. "It's supposed to be a surprise!" added David.
Madonna attended Britney's March 11 gig in New York's Nassau Coliseum. And back in November, Britney performed with Madonna during her Sticky and Sweet Tour at LA's Dodger Stadium.

Workout Wednesday: The Core (Strength Equipment)
Workout Wednesday: The Core (Strength Equipment)
This week we're focusing on strengthening your core with three exercises using strength equipment (stay tuned for an entire post focusing on strengthening the core without equipment): the one-arm chest press, one-arm pulldown and one-arm shoulder press. By performing these exercises with one arm, you'll be working out your core muscles to an even greater degree than if you were performing the exercises with both arms.
- Exercises: 3
- Length: 15-20 minutes
- Focus: Core mucles (rectus abdominis, erector spinae, multifidus, obliques, transverse abdominis, hip flexors, hip abductors, hamstring group)
One-Arm Chest Press
- Equipment: Discovery™ Series Selectorized Chest Press
- Reps: 8-12
- Sets: 2-3
Start by adjusting the seat so your hands are at chest height. After selecting the desired amount of weight you want to press, push the foot advance pedal outward to bring the handle to your starting position. Then, without locking your elbow, press the handle outward and repeat. After a set, repeat using your other arm.
One-Arm Pulldown
- Equipment: Discovery™ Series Plate-Loaded Pulldown
- Reps: 8-12
- Sets: 2-3
Load your desired amount of weight onto the movement arm and adjust the seat to your desired height. When you're ready to begin the exercise, sit upright with your feet flat on the floor and your arm extended overhead using the neutral grip. Your palm should be facing in. Pull the handle down to your shoulders, then bring the handle back up. After a set, repeat using your other arm.
One-Arm Shoulder Press
- Equipment: Discovery™ Series Plate-Loaded Shoulder Press
- Reps: 8-12
- Sets: 2-3
Like the pulldown, load your desired amount of weight onto the movement arm and adjust the seat to your desired height. While sitting upright with your feet flat on the floor, make sure your hand is at shoulder height and press one up to a straight arm position. Repeat this movement until completing a set, and then repeat using your other arm.

text: So if you got $5,000 in credit card debt and your min pmt is $100 your monthly payment will now become $200! That's a pretty serious increase - especially if you've been budgeting tightly or you got high balances. How do the credit card companies get away with this? Didn't people accept and charge on their cards knowing that there would be only a 2% min pmt? (who on earth can read the tons of fine print?) What if banks just decided to double your mortgage payments? Maybe we need to read the fine print on our mortages too?

6 January 2010 Amid snow and cold weather, Doncaster's Robin Hood airport closed, threatening to derail the travel plans of Paul Chambers, then a 26-year old trainee accountant who was hoping to fly to Belfast to meet Sarah Tonner, a woman he had met on Twitter where she was known as CrazyColours. He tweeted on the publicly accessible feed. "Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!!"
13 January 2010 Chambers was arrested by four officers from South Yorkshire police who called at his office at a car distribution firm in Doncaster. He lost his job as a financial supervisor.
February 2010 Chambers was charged with "sending a public electronic message that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character contrary to the Communications Act 2003".
10 May 2010 Chambers was convicted by district judge Jonathan Bennett sitting at Doncaster magistrates court and fined £1,000. The judge accepted that, although it was an unusual case, the message was of a "menacing nature in the context of the times we live in".
24 September 2010 Chambers launched an appeal against conviction at Doncaster magistrates court in front of Judge Jacqueline Davies and two lay magistrates. His legal counsel claimed the message was not menacing and Chambers had no intent to menace. Stephen Ferguson said it was "obviously facetious" and "a parody". The court heard a senior airport official, Steve Armson, had "determined it was a non-credible threat" and the airport duty manager Sean Duffield said the impact after he found Chambers' message was "operationally nothing. It had no impact".
11 November 2010 Davies refused the appeal and ordered Chambers to pay a further £2,000 legal bill. She said the tweet was "menacing in its content and obviously so. It could not be more clear. Any ordinary person reading this would see it in that way and be alarmed".
15 April 2011 Chambers' supporters from the world of comedy staged a benefit concert to raise money to pay for his legal fees. Comedians including Stephen Fry, Al Murray, Jack Whitehall, Graham Linehan and Katy Brand performed at the Bloomsbury Theatre.
8 February 2012 Chambers launched a high court appeal and his barrister, Ben Emmerson QC, told Lord Justice Gross and Mr Justice Irwin "the preponderance of evidence was that this was a joke". He said the conviction was "a steamroller to crack a nut". Appearing for the director of public prosecutions, Robert Smith QC said: "The message was posted at a time when the potential threat to airport security was high. It was capable of being read by members of the airport staff and members of the public as a threat to airport safety and public safety."
28 May 2012 The divisional court failed to reach a decision and ordered a new hearing. The judges gave no reasons as to why they had not ruled.
27 June 2012 Chambers faces his seventh day in court over his joke in front of a panel made up of the lord chief justice Lord Judge, Mr Justice Owens and Mr Justice Griffith Williams. They are the seventh, eighth and ninth members of the judiciary, including district judges, magistrates and high court judges to consider the case.

When people first see the Fit, they might think it sort of looks like a smallish, slowish hybrid. Well, we're here to blow your minds because it isn't small on the inside, it isn't slow, and it isn't a hybrid but it DOES get amazing gas mileage.
In comparing the 2015 Honda Fit to the Ford Fiesta, this auto writer explained: "The Fit, on the other hand, fits – in both rows. Its back seat accommodations are as generous as what you'd find in several mid-sized cars. And you could carry a bundle of 2x4x8s home in one . . . with the rear liftgate closed."
It has more room on the inside than the Accord, but isn't as big on the outside as the Accord. AND it starts at just more than $15,000.
What else is to love about the 2015 Honda Fit? The versatile and functional interior (fold flat, fold up, etc), gas mileage, and strength of the motor. It is fun and quick to drive!
"The 2015 Honda Fit is such a great vehicle," said Keith Hofkamp of Sims Honda dealership in Burlington. "It is much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, it is much faster than most people think, it gets better gas mileage than most others in its class, AND, even for a Honda, it has a really versatile and functional interior."
Stop by Sims Honda, Northwest Honda, or Apple Valley Honda today to take the 2015 Honda Fit for a test drive!

I just noticed this and thought I would mention it. I am using Outlook 2010 which provides integration with social networks and various social networking features. I noticed that for all emails for forum notifications that Richard Opalka's name shows up in the social network bar:
If Richard was in, for example LinkedIn, and had his picture uploaded, it would show up. I'm not sure if Richard knows this or is OK with it - apparently his email is somehow linked to the firstname.lastname@example.com email, or is in some other way connected with the notification messages sent out by the forum.
I checked some of newsletters and other semi-spam that I get and noticed that for most of them that a generic or company name was listed in the social netwrok bar.

The Best Ski Resorts are in Vermont
Filed under: Blog, Restaurants, Skiing
Photo: Courtesy of Stowe Mountain Resort.
According to Ski Magazine readers, Vermont has some of the best ski resorts in the US and even in North-America, whether you are looking for downhill skiing or cross-country ski or simply want to enjoy great après-ski and dining. In each of these categories, Vermont ski resorts are making Ski Magazine's list of the "Top 10 Ski Resorts". And others have also recognized Vermont ski resorts as… some of the best! (See where they are all located on this map of Vermont ski resorts).
Top 10 ski resorts for après-ski (Ski Magazine)
For the best après-ski, Ski Magazine readers selected 2 Vermont ski resorts in the top 10.
Here is their "top 10" list:
1. Aspen Mountain, Colorado
2. Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia
3. Heavenly, California
4. Killington, Vermont
Killington truly has a number of fun places to enjoy after a long day of skiing: the Mahogany Ridge bar at the K-1 Lodge, the Long Trail Pub at the Snowshed Lodge, and the Bear Mountain Lounge at the Bear Mountain Lodge, the Wobbly Barn or the Lookout Tavern. Lots to choose from. And for the very best BBQ, our personal choice is The Back Behind Saloon on route 4 and 100 S.
5. Tremblant, Quebec
7. Park City, Utah
8. Breckenridge, Colorado
9. Whiteface, New York
10. Stowe, Vermont
There is definitely an established tradition of bar hopping after a day of skiing at the Stowe Mountain Resort. There is even a name for it: it's the "Mountain Road Crawl"! You start by warming up and having a drink at the Fireside Tavern right at the mountain, then drive down the road a little and stop at the Matterhorn Bar. Pool tables, music and great food (appetizers, pizza, etc.) are all there for you. The bar also has a dance floor. Then, The Shed and the Rusty Nail are further down the road. The Rusty Nail also has a great space and pool tables upstairs. Lots of places for lots of fun! And to make sure to stay safe, take advantage of the shuttle which will take you from one bar to another, yep, no kidding!
Top 10 ski resorts for dining (Ski Magazine)
For dining, Stowe is ranking number 10. A very respectable score. Indeed, the whole road from the Mountain to Stowe village and to Waterbury has restaurants of all kinds and all budgets, as well of course B&B and little inns. Some are fun and relaxed, some are fancy and gastronomic in quaint historic homes. We'll just name a few: the Whip Bar & Grill, located in the Green Mountain Inn, the Blue Moon Café, the Swisspot (in town), the Cliff House Restaurant (at Mt. Mansfield), and Mr Pickwick's at the Ye Olde England Inne. Waterbury is close as well and hosts some award-winning restaurants, such as Michael's on the Hill, and Hen of the Wood (our previous article).
For your curiosity, here are Ski Magazine's "top 10 ski resorts" for dining:
1. Aspen, Colorado
2. Deer Valley, Utah
3. Tremblant, Quebec
4. Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia
5. Sun Valley, Idaho
6. Vail, Colorado
7. Park City, Utah
8. Beaver Creek, Colorado
9. Telluride, Colorado
10. Stowe, Vermont

Top 10 ski resorts for family in New England (Family Ski Trips)
The Family Ski Trips website listed 6 Vermont ski resorts as the best ski resorts for family.
Wow, well done Vermont! And it's nice to know that many of these ski resorts have timeshare rentals available through their owners which are spacious enough to fit the whole family comfortably.
– Okemo, Vermont
For its lesson programs…
– Smugglers' Notch, Vermont
For the "most innovative instruction in snow country", its beginners' slopes on Morse Mountain, its kids' ski camp and day care, and all the activities in the Village from the Fun Zone to snow tubing.
– Stowe, Vermont
When the kids grow older: "your kids can night-ski while you dine at the European-style Cliff House" restaurant.
– Killington/Pico, Vermont
For Bear Mountain which is dedicated to freeskiers and riders, with parks and pipes; for its Winter Adventure Center with snowshoeing, tubing and dog sledding; and for the less intimidating Pico resort. Killington also has several video arcades.
– Suicide Six, Vermont
– Ascutney, Vermont
Ascutney has a lot for kids of all ages: Young Olympians ski and ride camps for ages 4-12, and a Bumps Center for teens. Note that the Duckling Daycare will not be open this winter.
Other ski resorts in New England which made the list:
– Bretton Woods, NH
– Sunday River, ME
– Jiminy Peak, MA and
– Sugarloaf, ME
On that note, I hope we'll see you this winter in Vermont… on our mountains or off the slopes. The snow is already here waiting for you.

Smugglers' Notch Resort Delays Ski Opening Date
For 20 out of the past 22 years, Smugglers' Notch Resort has opened on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
But it won't be the case this year! But the weather has been too warm for snow making, and the resort has not received any natural snow… So they just announced that they are delaying opening until December 5th. Sad news for the skiers!

Read in the December 2009 issue of Condé Nast Traveler: the results of the Readers' Poll about 2009 Best Places to Ski & Stay in North America.
Well, the Rocky Mountains ski resorts win this time… no doubt. Too bad, because there is indeed some very fun places in Vermont to go skiing.

And Vermont is still a nice place to enjoy skiing. Some great hotels indeed made the "top 50 ski hotels" list in this recent Condé Nast Traveler survey:
31 – Sugarbush Inn, Warren
39 – Killington Grand Resort Hotel, Killington
42 – Topnotch Resort & Spa, Stowe
44 – Woodstock Inn & Resort, Woodstock (nice hotel indeed!)
48 – Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa, Stowe
And what is YOUR best ski hotel in Vermont?

The Longest Cross-country Ski Trail
The Catamount Trail in Vermont is the longest backcountry cross-country ski trail in North America. It is 300 miles of trails stretching the whole length of Vermont, from North to South, all the way from Quebec to Massachusetts… a winter Long Trail for skiers and snowshoe lovers!
Today, I came across a great article in NY Times about the Catamount Trail, which made me feel like grabbing my skis, jumping in the car and getting to the Catamount Trail immediately to ski it from one end to the other. It reminded me of this magical week-end I had with my son years ago, skiing 2 sections of the Ski Marathon in Canada over a week-end. About 35 kilometers of trails, flat terrain (mostly), open fields, blue sky and immaculate landscape… simply magical. But coming back to the Catamount Trail, I'll let you read Sarah Tuff's article. She is doing a wonderful job at describing her experience and making you dream…
She has you imagining the great landscapes the trail crosses, the wide-open farms, the trees covered with snow… Thanks Sarah!
Divided in 31 sections and going through about 200 private lands and 135 miles of public land, the Catamount Trail was started in 1984 and its last section completed in 2008. It follows remote wilderness routes, cross-country ski trails and old logging roads. It also goes through a number of Nordic Centers and you'll find 12 inns along its way (according to the NY Times article).
The various sections are of different levels of difficulties and interestingly the Catamount Trail Association offers a large number of free and guided tours, for every skier group, including 3-, 4- or 7-day tours. You can consult their website for the tour schedule (check often for updates!). Upcoming multi-day tours include a 6-day tour in Southern Vermont from March 5 to 10.
For more information:

Detailed maps of each of the 31 sections
Some of the inns along the trail:
Blueberry Hill Inn, Goshen
The Old Tavern, Grafton
Highland Lodge, Greensboro

Sleepy Hollow Inn, Huntington

Ski Resorts Offer Delicious Vermont Farmhouse Chowder
Filed under: Blog, Regional specialties, Skiing
This winter, six Vermont ski resorts (and more to come) are offering something really special on their menus: a hearty Farmhouse Chowder, featuring products locally grown by Vermont farmers. How it was conceived and developed is truly a fascinating story, but more importantly to all of you skiers, it is delicious!
We had the opportunity to taste it ourselves at the Statehouse cafeteria last week. The chowder has a really nice smoky taste and is truly the kind of hearty food all skiers want to have when they come into the lodge for lunch, after a few hours of skiing.
With this chowder, Sugarbush Executive Chef Gerry Nooney created something truly distinctive for Vermont. The soup is made with Peaslee's Potatoes, Cold Hollow Apple Cider, Vermont Smoke and Cure sausage and of course, fresh Vermont cream, all local Vermont products. And it does have a very distinctive taste!
And at $6.50 for a bowl at Sugarbush, it costs the same as other prepared soups… but it's Vermont-made and always fresh…never frozen!
In addition to Sugarbush, the Vermont Farmhouse Chowder is also available at Mount Snow, Bromley, Stratton, Stowe and Smugglers' Notch Resort, and we're being told that more ski resorts could join soon. And non-skiers will be happy to know that they can also buy it in a number of delis and local markets or make it at home (see recipe).
Finally… for those of you who are interested in the story of how it came about: it started with a simple idea of promoting local produce, similarly to the Vermont Ski Burger last year.
Chef Gerry Noonley worked hard to develop the recipe. Ski Vermont and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture worked together, along with some private businesses such as Cold Hollow Cider, Vermont Smoke and Cure, and Black River Produce (the distributor) to make it happen! "It is a remarkable example of what Vermont small community can achieve when working together" says Chef Gerry Noonley… Indeed… and the success is there to prove it: the chowder has already been produced in volumes that are twice the team's initial expectations.
Note: The Vermont Ski Burger is available at Okemo Mountain, Stowe, Burke Mountain, Stratton and Mount Snow. It is made of Vermont-raised all-natural beef from Boyden Farm, and cheese from Cabot Creamery, with some "personalized touches" by the various ski resorts.
Ski Vermont Ale, made by Long Trail Brewery, is another Ski Vermont initiative that you can try at Stratton.

Winter Trails – Free Snowshoeing & Cross-country Skiing
Filed under: Blog, Skiing, Sports events
Photo: Courtesy of Mountain Top Inn.
The 14th annual Winter Trails (Saturday January 10) is the occasion to snowshoe and cross-country ski for free in some Vermont ski resorts!

Spring in the Kitchen
My trips to the farmer's market usually follow the same routine. I feel compelled to quickly browse through all the stands l before I decide to buy anything. If I already know what to expect at the market, then I usually have a list of vegetables or fruit in mind that I want to bring home. I almost always buy more than I really need, but I usually have plans to use all of it.
Saturday was my first time at the market this season and as usual it was hard to resist all of the new vegetables, many that I haven't seen since last spring. I was pleasantly surprised at the different items that were already being harvested and stacked in bounteous piles at many market tables. In May it is easy to get excited about vegetables that I don't think about a lot during the rest of the year — rhubarb, asparagus, green onions. I also brought home spinach, lettuce, and a bunch of fat red radishes.
We've eaten well this winter, lots of food from jars and our freezer, but we haven't been complete strangers to lettuce, oranges, avocados and these foods that are clearly exotic during the Minnesota winter. I've been happy that we ate so much of what I preserved and that there are still full jars in the cupboard, but it is nice to have new fresh vegetables bringing the leafy and colorful world of spring into our kitchen. They taste greener and more refreshing than produce shipped from California.
Fresh produce really motivates me to pull out cookbooks that have been languishing on the shelves and collecting dust over the winter. I check the indexes and frantically flip through pages for inspiration as well as precise recipes. Right now I am perusing and plotting recipes for asparagus and rhubarb. These hardy stalks of spring seem to require special attention as they are not common in my kitchen any other time of year. Luckily they are the early ones and I have time to devote to them that I won't be able to give to each vegetable when local produce is abundant in variety and quantity.
And so it has arrived, the season of life and growth. I eagerly and enthusiastically greet the flavors in my kitchen that have been nearly forgotten since last spring. I can't help it (but I'll try not to repeat myself). Each year I rediscover these tastes as though they are completely new.
What flavors and recipes of spring have you tried recently?

Have blank wall space that needs some extra TLC but just can't find that perfect print? If you love the style of my Fine Art Photography but don't see something in the right color tone, layout, or just have a great item that you need photographed, I can help. I love working with people to bring their creations to life. From a favorite flower, children's toys, to a hard find color match I can make it happen. Some of my favorite pieces have come out of my custom orders.
And no need to live in the DFW metroplex, all I need is a picture of the wall you are trying to fill and I can work my magic with an e-session. From photographing your vision to mocking it up for you to see, I stay connected and can make tweaks and adjustments until we get it just right. You'll have access to a personal gallery to view all of the options I come up with.
To inquire about a custom collaboration fill out the inquiry form above or contact me directly. I can't wait to see what we come up with together!
Below is a great example of a custom collaboration. A client wanted her favorite flower, the hydrangea, photographed close up and in a very neutral blue, gray and white color tone. We knew we needed them to be hung vertically so I put together a gallery for her and she chose her favorite three. We changed the mock up a few times until we got it just right, then ordered them as museum wrapped canvases and they look gorgeous hanging above her bed.

Rather than continue with the Jade Regent adventure path storyline, which led to the death of the the players' original characters from Sandpoint (Rise of the Runelord AP), I had decided to start the campaign fresh with a new set of adventurers and a new adventure path.
When the Heroes of Sandpoint were all killed by an Ice Woman in the Crown of the World, the players wanted to continue the adventure path with new 7th level characters.
However, I began to feel that it wasn't working out too well so decided to start this new campaign adventure path.
Here's to new adventures!

About Frame the Alphabet
When photographed just right, the bend of a wrought-iron beam or the curve of a stalk of wheat can look just like a letter of the alphabet. This creative observation captured the attention of photographer Crystal Copeland—a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography—who became inspired to seek out more outdoor features that could double as letters. With the help of her business-savvy husband, Lee, Copeland strung these letters into words and began selling them at an online store, Frame the Alphabet.
The site's interactive letter bank houses a vast collection of Crystal's photos, which can be used to spell out names and words on stationary, letter prints, and wood letter blocks. You may wish to work in visual thematics, crafting names entirely out of sports images for the family athlete or creating an ironic counterpoint to words such as nature with images of city signs, industrial faucets, and spinning cogs.

House Panel Approves Bill to Lift Environmental Regulations That 'Impede' Border Patrol
A proposal to prevent environmental rules from impeding the Border Patrol's ability to monitor and pursue illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. was approved by a House committee Wednesday, in a move one congressman said could address the government's "cavalier attitude" toward illegal immigration.
Sponsor Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, claims environmental regulations are keeping border agents from doing their job. He unsuccessfully pushed a similar version of the bill last year, but said Congress still needs to intervene so that agents have the access they need.
"The policies of the United States unfortunately and unwittingly make it easier for illegals to come across public lands," Bishop said Wednesday at a House Natural Resources Committee meeting.
The committee afterward approved the bill on a 26-17 straight party-line vote. A companion bill has not yet been introduced on the Senate side.
"People are dying on the border, (plant and animal) species are being destroyed by the drug cartels," Bishop said. "We have basically ignored that."
Border Patrol has access to land maintained by the federal government's environmental stewards, but has to follow certain procedures in order to pursue suspects or set up routine patrols. A government report last year found environmental rules were in some cases holding up security projects for months while the Department of Homeland Security continues to pay millions to the departments Interior and Agriculture to compensate for expected environmental damage.
"We continue to hear from Border Patrol on the ground that this continues to be a problem," said Jill Strait, a spokeswoman for Republicans on the House Natural Resources Committee.
But Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., said the proposal doesn't address border security. He described it Wednesday as a "cover to effectively repeal more than a century of environment protection."
"It's about undermining fundamental environment protections," he said.
The Department of Interior has defended the current arrangement, saying it must meet the twin goals of patrolling the border while protecting the environment. The department has claimed accounts of a conflict between border security and natural resource protection are overblown.
In testimony this past July, Deputy Assistant Interior Secretary Kim Thorsen said Bishop's proposal could impact 54 properties in the national park system as well as hundreds of other refuges and other protected lands.
The bill "would likely have a significant impact on Interior's ability to carry out our overall mission related to protection of natural and cultural resources on our federally managed and trust lands," Thorsen said in written testimony. She defended the current collaborative approach, which stems from a 2006 agreement between the departments of Homeland Security, Interior and Agriculture.
But Bishop said despite the claims of administration officials, agents on the ground complain they need more access.
The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers has endorsed the proposal, saying agents "cannot secure the border if they cannot access the border."
Republicans say the environmental rules are, to an extent, self-defeating, since they allegedly make it easier for illegal immigrants to pass through federal lands while leaving trash and other debris behind.
Bishop's bill would apply to land within 100 miles of the United States' southern and northern borders. Along the southwestern border, federal land makes up more than 40 percent of the real estate.
Bishop's bill specifically states that the secretaries of interior and agriculture "shall not impede, prohibit, or restrict" U.S. Customs and Border Protection activities under their jurisdiction.
The bill says border agents should have "immediate access" to the land for activities including maintaining or building roads and fences; driving patrol vehicles; and installing surveillance equipment.
The bill allows for a host of regulations to be waived to make way for border agents, including provisions contained in the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
Strait said this version of the bill is more "narrowly defined" than last year's bill. It refers only to Customs and Border Patrol and not the larger Homeland Security Department. The prior bill didn't specify which activities by Border Patrol are permitted to undertake. The current version also does not apply to maritime borders.
A CBP spokeswoman had no comment on the bill, noting the agency does not comment on pending legislation.
