Hehehhe! I hope her wishes come true soon because the dandelion stalks will wither soon and may eventually fall off my themselves, I think. Hmn. I have a similar board except mine are not wishes but goals. The board fell because it got so heavy! Hahaha! Okay, just kidding. I love your drawing. I love your style. In fact I am not the only one who loves your style. I wish I can draw like you. I wish I have your FPOT. I wish I love like you. There, three dandelions. I have not seen any here in Manila or Quezon though. Have a great day. It is now 4:39AM here! Tsup!

Aaaw Man! This drawing is sad. After reading the background, it should be HOPEFUL instead of UNFULFILLED!!!
I move to change it!
Change the title!

Beautiful! I love the huge frame and the huge number of wishes bending this way and that. (Except the part where none have come true. I hope some have at least an outside chance of coming true eventually!) Always such neat and clever illustrations at your place!

Bella-I am in love with this illustration <3

i love this & how you often feature the nice things about dandelions, which people usually rip out of the ground because of the seeds! hope you girls had a lovely valentine's day! xo, c

I love dandelions! This is so cute, but I hope her wish comes true so so soon... :)

So many wishes! Why are they pinned down? They should be floating away in a summer breeze!
Maybe these are very special ones that need to be held on to? I don't understand. But perhaps I am not supposed to understand. Just adore your wonderful world?! I wish I could join you in your creative mind. I'm sure it would be so much fun! HUGS

You are SO SPECIAL, your imagination, talent, humor. This is "far out" (as we used to say!)...exceptionally "BELLA"!!!
My (German) Grandma made dandelion salad, dandelion soup...and she would even eat them as we pulled them out of the earth. (I like more a slab of 'Hereford' grilled-and-seared, please!)
Hope you are as well as your illustrations suggest! PEACE!

~ah i do hope really hope that if she is wishing for popularity hopeful she will come to realize it will never make her happy...it kind of sucks being popular...having relationships with false pretenses...not real friendships...may her wishes be fulfilled with only oodness at heart...so so beautiful my friend...much love light and blessings~

I love how her little feet are crossed over one another. And her wish or wishes must be so important to keep track of. I do not know how you come up with these wonderful and unique ideas, because you are creative in such a charming way!

Does it count that I swear every time I pull one of these dandelions out of my yard? I wonder if I should start a little dandelion curse board...
It's not that I have a great lawn, it's mostly crab grass to be honest, but crabgrass is what I like. It's more fitting to my personality.
Anyway, this is a good one, Bella; it's a wonderful tribute to obsessive compulsive behavior.
Because there's nothing wrong with that.

Bella, at first I thought she was a little sad, but then I realized she was just winded. I mean, look at all the dandelion stems! This girl has been busy! Perhaps she could employ a small electric fan to help with wish production. You are so amazingly original! Happy weekend - xox

Hello! I just wanted to remember my first of two 7-hour layovers. It is a foggy morning at Incheon. I am eating sweet squid strips with my cup of mocha. What a combination. Hahahahh! Oh and one more thing, the men's rest room at Incheon is very clean. You know why I know. Hehehehe!
You know, Korean women are very attractive and charming.
What's up with the phrase verification? I could not see them at all in Manila, just an error icon.

I'm smitten with this.
I have a character called The Dandelion King. I find them powerful little metaphors.
This is great. I love that she is keeping them on a wall, sort of like a prisoner scratches days in their cell.
Wonderful stuff.
I haven't been on blogs (including my own) for awhile. It is so refreshing to see all this Bella art!

Hello Lovelies,
Naming this post got my mouth quenching for some vino rico (that good good wine). I got his major craving for some wine but that sweet soft wine. Im not one of those who can drink dry wines. I like them sweet and cheap (lol).
Im getting me a bottle all for myself next week....it's my birthday. I'm definitely starting my birthday with gratitude to God and then ending it with a glass of wine.
Im getting ahead of myself, lets just being by addressing the outfit. The top is from Forever21. I absolutely love the color. My mom would agree, she loves everything in this shade. To say that she choose my Quinceanera color and I ended up with burgundy all over the place. Even my high school colors were in the same shade. Yup, I hated it for a while. Now it's a whole other story.
The leggings are from Bebe. Loving the high waisted leggings although one has to be careful cause that zipper can loosen and you won't even notice till you feel a cold breeze of air where you normally wouldn't. I gave a couple quite a peek into my bum bum. LOL. Good times.
Have you ever had some fashion mishaps.
Xo, Cari

Review: Apple iPod nano Fourth-Generation (4GB/8GB/16GB)
Company: Apple Computer
Website: www.Apple.com
Model: iPod nano (fourth-generation)
Price: $149 (8GB), $199 (16GB), €129* (4GB)
Compatible: PC/Mac
Pros: Apple's highest-capacity mid-range flash player to date, with an outstanding array of nine color options that for the first time are available at a $149 base price rather than as a premium option. Preserves most of the features of last year's flat A-rated version, adding an accelerometer that adds modestly to photo, game, and audio functionality. Includes font size options and optional voice prompting to aid those who would otherwise have trouble reading the small screen. Streamlines prior features, including Cover Flow music browsing and Nike + iPod, while adding new ones such as Genius playlist creation. Doubles past year's storage capacity for same price. Best audio quality yet in an iPod nano.
Cons: Battery life for video and game playing has dropped from prior version, though audio playback time is roughly the same. New tapered shape feels like a dull knife in the hand, versus the softer curves of prior iPods and nanos, and requires rotation for playing videos and most games. Audio recording functionality has changed from past version, losing settings control and now outputting in Apple Lossless rather than the more compatible WAV format. Curved glass screen cover is a little more fingerprint- and glare-attractive than the predecessor, though also likely to be more durable. Incompatible with past FireWire charging accessories; will not charge when placed in Bose's SoundDock, Apple's iPod Hi-Fi, or certain car kits.
In 2007, Apple released three substantially new iPods: the biscuit-shaped third-generation iPod nano (iLounge Rating: A), the metal-faced iPod classic (iLounge Rating: B+), and the phoneless iPhone called iPod touch (iLounge Rating: B-). This year, Apple has updated all three models with new features that range from trivial to important, generally improving each while boosting storage capacity for the dollar. Our review of the fourth-generation iPod nano (8GB/$149, 16GB/$199) covers all of the key changes and details you want to know about.
You're probably already aware that the iPod nano occupies a specific space within Apple's family of iPods: it's the company's mid-priced media player, larger, pricier and more capable than the screenless iPod shuffle, but smaller, more aggressively priced, and more colorfully packaged than the flash-based iPod touch and hard disk-based iPod classic. It has just enough storage capacity to hold the average user's entire collection of songs and/or some videos at respectable bitrates, though traditionally neither its screen nor its audio quality were first-rate by Apple's standards. Users came to consider it the ideal workout-ready iPod because of its small size, flash-based storage, and unique compatibility with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, a jogging sensor that tracks a runner's performance.
Last year's iPod nano was a standout during an otherwise disappointing time for high-end iPod fans, who found themselves forced to choose between the iPod classic's capacity and audio quality, or the iPod touch's bigger screen and Wi-Fi capabilities. Back then, Apple gave the nano a great new screen, the ability to play videos and games, a new interface, and aggressive pricing, though it deviated from the candybar shape of prior iPod nanos and minis to achieve a larger screen size. There was no reason that Apple had to radically change last year's device; it could easily have preserved the same general form factor, changed the colors, and boosted capacities.
Instead, the fourth-generation iPod nano is a different animal. Gone is the once-controversial nearly square shape of its immediate predecessor, replaced by the familiar anodized aluminum candy bar body of the much-loved second-generation iPod nano. There are now nine different colors to choose from, and you can pick any of them for either $149 or $199—the first time Apple has offered so many color options at its lowest nano price. Gone is the polished metal exterior of the prior model; the color once again wraps completely around the shell, except for white or black plastic top, bottom, and Click Wheel parts.
The major reason for last year's shape change, a two-inch, 320x240 display, has been flipped on its side to become taller than it is wide, and in addition to changing the nano's interface, Apple has added an accelerometer to detect the device's orientation. Videos and games now play only when the nano is in wide mode; everything else works in tall orientation, and in some cases, both. Notably, the screen's aspect ratio remains the same as the prior iPod nano's, and has not shifted to the 1.5:1 format used by movies, the iPod touch and iPhone.
Another big change is in capacity. The $149 iPod nano now includes 8GB of storage space—twice what last year's $149 model offered—while the $199 version offers 16GB. Viewed another way, you'll have to pay an $80 or $100 premium to get an iPod touch with the same capacity, a substantial premium for the larger display and wireless capabilities. There are other changes, too. Some are evident just from watching this video of the new interface; others are not. We walk through of all of them in the sections below.
[Editor's Note, September 18, 2008: Days after the release of the 8GB and 16GB iPod nanos, Apple was discovered to have given international third-party distributors a limited number of 4GB fourth-generation iPod nanos to sell at a price of €129. Apple has suggested that this 4GB model will not see general release, though it is available in the full array of nine colors. Our review discusses only the generally available 8GB and 16GB models.]
Editors' Note: iLounge only reviews products in "final" form, but many companies now change their offerings - sometimes several times - after our reviews have been published. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.

This question is little different from preventing an application from stealing focus, rather how can I find out what the heck is stealing focus?
It goes like this. I'll be typing something in Firefox on Vista (as I am now). Every few minutes something else is stealing focus. It's not because a window is moving to the foreground. The change is somewhat subtle in window in the foreground takes on the attributes of a de-selected window (e.g., menus slightly dimmed), but it's most notable when typing, as the keys I type are no longer sent to that window. It also makes it extremely annoying.
How can I track this bugger down so I can remove it?

Entries in Za Trip2 (4)
Now I'm REALLY weepy
My friend Mark French is over in Belgie-land on business but the true inner-'crosser motivated him to cruise down to Za Beach in Mol to see the Master's World Cyclocross Championships today. He snapped a few pics and it's clear they changed up the course this year, almost as if they ran it backwards! I need to talk with some of the homies who went over there for a report. Anyways, as it comes to pass, our 'master's master' Edwin Raats DID win today. Congrats man! This is a pic Mark nabbed coming through possibly the worlds LOWEST set of barriers I've ever seen. I mean, we're Masters UCI people, but c'mon! We can get the legs a little higher! We're not THAT old! Ha!
Apparently the Italian, Massimo Folcarelli, was bringing the heat and was off the front but Edwin was able to nab him and put a massive gap he held through to the end. Sweet.
Henry Kramer still impresses with a top 10, taking 7th. He WILL get those stripes. I know this.
I can not tell you how weepy I am not being there. The one taste I had is never going to leave me. Ever. I hope I can hold this momentum like I did in 2007 to get there. One whole year of thought on it. And it was an awesome, awesome pay off.
Master's WK's today. I'm weepy.
Did Edwin pull it off in our group this AM? I'm waiting to hear! He just nabbed the Dutch amateur title (and as mentioned before, the amateur class and its National title is a big deal in Europe).
Henry K pulled off his usual win or two in the lead up races teh week leading to the WK and those world strips have just been out of his reach these last few years. I'm thinking unless he mechanical'd, he's on the podium again today. The Belgians fear him over there. It's funny. They treat him like a full up rock star! He's an American they love!
365 days to go. Can I keep focused again?
Movin', shakin', payin' the bills....
Sorry for the radio silence! Pretty busy getting me executive thing on at my company's annual kickoff. Exactly a year ago I was preparing to leave for Za Trip and the company made a touching an hilarious gesture to wish me well on the journey. (I can't believe it was a YEAR AGO!) This year I was back to do my thing and talk to the company about their opportunities even in this current restrained market.
I'm trying to do anything but ride these days....lots of running to keep the coals somewhat warm, but not too hot. Ironically, off season and eating is the toughest. You can't gorge yourself and I am trying to balance lack of activity with reduced calories, complex carbs, etc etc. Tougher than you think!
Za Trip 2 is starting to take shape. Plans being developed and I think will see some new and exciting 'Za Trip' team members. Stay tuned!
Cross Racing Week 15: De laatste race staat in de boeken!
That's it folks: The last, race: she's in the books! Brian Hludzinski, bruised eye and all from a dramatic sledding incident, braved the cold weather with his Boulder Racing and ACA crews to put on the last race of the season: Boulder Racing's Lyons 'Cross. The race was unbelievably festive and attitudes relaxed (as they should be ALL the time). I think a lot of this had to do with the presence of the Oskar Blues crew...who were out in FORCE with the Dales Pale Ale semi (and it's unbelievable air horns blowing as we raced!!). OB woudl be hosting an apres-race party with their fantastic adult beverage selection and food.
Boups and I made the trip down to Lyons by bike. We rolled from our hood to race the men's pro event at 12:30...Boups towing a trailer behind his Yeti single speed 'cross bike with all our extra wheels and crap. It was 20 degrees and people thought we were retarded as we rolled down the 36 to Lyons. Cars honking, pointing fingers, etc. Hilarious (and Boups wasn't even wearing his new 'skin suit'...more on THAT in a sec).
The last couple of weeks since Nats, I've been in hyper-sleep mode. I'd resigned myself to my winter hiatus of beer drinking and mountain biking in the snow...but still restless. I wanted some more! We got back from NJ (seeing my mom and family for the Holidays) and I did a couple of tempo rides and one opener. I felt pretty fit. Hmm. I think that my Nats debacle was some of the deepest training I'd done all year! HA! It must have baked in during Christmas break as I ate piles of peanut butter cross cookies (the kind with the Hershey's Kiss on top).
Make note to self: Following this training plan for next year.
So Boups and I make it to the course after our long freezing cold journey, sign in...or I should say BARELY sign in as we were going hypothermic and couldn't even hold pens! Seriously! We eventually get our numbers and get some pre-riding in. The course was short and to the point: Power rider course. It was nearly all flat with the exception of two technical sections: one including a barriered run-up/ride-up....and the other this giant dirt mound that had you go straight up...then straight down. You needed some degree of technical savvy but mainly those sections if you were smooth would preserve your gaps during the race. I ride down to Lyons from Boulder with Grifo file treads on and just left 'em on after the pre-ride as they hooked up on everything (I am a HUGE fan of this tread pattern after a season on 'em now! They can basically do everything!).
After sufficiently warming up, Boups goes ahead and does it: Dons the gold sequin skin suit. Purchased on eBay, hopefully washed, it was saved all year for this special occasion. He's going out in style:
So the pro men, including Boups in his gold suit, line up....and all simultaneously look down at our tires. GOAT HEADS. No embellishment, I pulled out between 4-6 (probably should have left 'em in but I have Stans in my Challenge file treads) so all seemed OK. Others just left 'em in and raced 'em as is.
The ACA official sends us off and it's such a civilized start I couldn't believe it. Slow motion start. Ha! We just gradually ramp up and get the machinery going, Chuck Coyle taking the hole shot. I think I was in 4th. From the get-go, a split happened after the barriered run up. The Cliff Bar Devo kids, Brady Kappius* on a 42x16 single speed, our State Champ Matt Pacocha**, Coyle**, Spencer*, Michael Robson* and yours truly.
Team Clif Bar and Matt get a massive gap from lap 1.5. Ball game, me thinks as they are gone and GONE. Brady, Michael, Spencer and me form another group for essentially the whole race. Each of us taking turns pulling us around. By the closing laps, we can see that Paco is dangling in front and we're getting closer lap after lap, so our tails go up. I for once use my head and just sit in for a bit. Michael uses that massive engine and yanks us around the flats one last time and we make contact.
In the last lap, Spencer attacks from our group, peels of Paco and I come from the back behind Brady and Michael to bridge up and we successfully split. We cruise the whole last lap together grooving in and out of the technical sections and start to get a feel for who's freshest. Coming in on the last dirt road section towards the finish, I am sitting in the back. It's either 3rd place (the Clif Bar devos stomped it and won...no one was catching them) or 6th. It's Paco, Spencer and me. Spencer attacks with 500m to go, and I peel off with him. I'm thinking I got him but unbelievably he keeps the wattage going and I can not nip him! D'oh! Spencer 3rd, me 4th, Paco 5th.
It was a super fun race and a great way to end the season. Truthfully, while I felt decent and the course was pretty ideal for me, the fast guys were not on their A game....many having checked out after States...but I'll take the scraps amongst this crew any day.
So now it's OFFICIALLY mountain biking and beer season. And time to start planning. That's right folks: clearance from the control tower has been confirmed; Za Trip Part Deux is back on for 2009 racing season! We're going back to Belgium.

I stayed in Room 115 at the beginning of Sept 2012 and was extremely worried about BB'S because of the reports I found on this site. The only reason I chose this hotel was because the TIFF was taking place, and it was literally the last room I was able to find. I stayed 2 nights. I checked the sheets, pillows, and mattress as soon as I walked in and it seemed clean, and woke up after the first night with no bites. The room was clean and tidy and the hotel was small but nice. The staff was f
riendly. The chair in my room was broken, and on the morning I left, the smoke detector kept blaring really loudly (the battery was dying). I was awake, but I'm sure it woke people up on my floor. On top of that, I didn't get the wakeup call I asked for. To be fair, the lady at the counter was very cool and, even though I didn't ask for it, she comp'd be 30% of the fee, which was very nice of her, and pretty much brought the price-goughed fee (due to the TIFF) down to what it should initially have been. Because she did this, and because my room was very nice, big, clean, and had no BB's, I am happy to recommend this hotel.

Stayed here from 9/11-9/13 (2012), in room 115. Checked the bed as soon as I got there and even sprayed preventative spray. Nothing happened. Never woke up with any bites. My only issue with the place is that they didn't make the wake up call I asked for (and a couple of other technical issues; my chair was broken and the smoke alarms went off for no reason), but I was compensated immediately upon check-out by the helpful staff there, which was greatly appreciated.
I didn't take advantage
of any of the amenities they had (room service was ridiculously expensive, but the food from the restaurant they cook from was pretty good when I dined in for lunch), but overall, the place was big, clean, and for the most part, well-run.

Bed bugs same hotel in August 2010. Bites all over my mid back.I reported it to management and they said they would check into it. Never heard anything and have major health issues over past few years that I suspect are a result of this incident.

I stayed at the holiday inn airport east on September 28, 2010. 12 hours later found bites on my legs. 24 hours later the bites were all over. I have informed hotel. Waiting to hear back from them.
anon on 08/30/2010
If you have not already done so, take photographs of the bites and the resulting swelling etc. If you can prove the hotel knew about a pre-existing infestation in the room and was negligent in renting to you.....you will have to have supporting evidence of the impact and consequences. (I am not a lawyer.)
Go to the forum at www.bedbugger.com and post some of your questions there.

We spent the night of August 9-10 at the Holiday Inn, Airport East (Toronto). I got up with a few bites on my left hand and informed the hotel right away. The manager was very concerned and extremely professional; he took my number and assured me that he'd deal with the matter right away, using the company they usually deal with. The day after, he called me to say that the 2 rooms either side had been shut off, as well as our room, and that I would be getting an immediate refund. I was very impr
essed with the service.
Nonetheless, things got a lot worse.... within 24 hours the rest of the bites began to surface. I'm allergic to mosquito bites and it would seem, to bed bugs as well. We went to the ER (by which time I was taking Benadryl regularly and had my arm/leg wrapped in ice), but they couldn't do anything else because I'm six months pregnant. My husband estimates that I had 150 bites - they were on my face, neck, ear, shoulders, back, legs and arms. My left arm and leg were the worst. The swelling and itching were excruciating.
Towards the end of our vacation, bites appeared on our son (3), and more came up since our return home. We stayed at three different addresses during our trip so I hope that we have not passed the infestation onto these other households. For now, we have to decontaminate the suite we're in (at the home of some friends)... my fingers are crossed.
I've written to the Toronto Health Authority. Do you know of any cases in which hotel guests have secured any additional compensation? It pretty much ruined our trip.

Georgia Southwestern State University head softball coach Eddie Ward today announced the signing of seven players for the 2009-10 academic year. Added to the roster are junior college transfers Robyn Butler, Lyndi Duff, Heather Hodge and Katie Mueller, along with NAIA transfer Anna Oswald and freshmen Cayla Smith and Megan Wilkinson.
"Last year our recruiting class consisted of eight new freshmen," said Ward. "They all saw action in 2009 and gained valuable experience. The 2010 recruiting class also brings in youthful enthusiasm, as well as a wealth of top notch transfers.
"The 2010 Lady 'Canes will have depth at all positions."
Butler, an infielder/catcher from Evans, Ga., played the last two seasons at Gulf Coast Community College (Fla.). She batted .303 for the Lady Commodores in 2009, appeared in 37 games, was second on the team in walks and third in on-base percentage. Butler graduated from Green Briar High School.
"Robyn is a really strong power hitter with great defensive skills," said Ward.
Duff will be a sophomore in 2009-10 transferring to GSW after one year at Chattahoochee Valley Community College (Ala.). Last season for the Lady Pirates, she played in 41 games, hit .438 with a .786 slugging percentage, led the team with 18 doubles and tied for the team lead with seven home runs. The Box Springs, Ga. native completed her prep career at Harris County High School.
"Lyndi is a power hitting shortstop who will be a threat in the middle of our lineup," said Ward.
Hodge, a second baseman from Covington, Ga. is transferring from Georgia Perimeter College. She was a 2008 Georgia Junior College All-Region selection. Last year Hodge hit .368 for the Lady Jaguars with 11 doubles. The Eastside High School standout was a 2004 GHSA 1st Team All-Region selection, a 2005 GHSA Honorable Mention and a 2006 All-Newton County honoree.
"Heather is a very strong defensive player with an above average bat," Ward said.
Mueller transfers to GSW from Central Florida Community College. The Tallahassee, Fla. native posted a 2.26 earned run average for the Lady Patriots last spring. She appeared in 32 games and recorded 47 strikeouts.
"Katie is a very smart pitcher with a lot of off-speed options that keep hitters off-stride," Ward said.
Oswald, another sophomore transfer, will play first base for the Lady Hurricanes. She played in 43 games during her freshman season at Reinhardt College and was second on the team in home runs. Oswald, a Canton, Ga. native, played her prep ball at Sequoyah High School.
"In addition to being a power hitter, Anna will provide defensive stability at first," said Ward.
Smith, an outfielder from Carrollton, Ga., comes to GSW straight out of Central Carrollton High School (Ga.).
"Cayla brings speed and a strong arm," said Ward.
Wilkinson, an outfielder from Columbus, Ga., graduated from Columbus High School.
"Megan will be a true student-athlete," Ward said. "She is very intelligent and possesses a very high level of athletic skills."
With this recruiting class, the Lady Hurricanes look to build upon their 2009 late season success when they won the first NCAA Division II postseason game in school history - an opening round victory in the Peach Belt Conference tournament.

The real underlying question is why is everyone converting Troll Hearts and Blody Sigals instead of using them?
I dont convert them ... but thats because I dont buy or care about them at all.
There something wrong with the items if people see them and think "Yeah! Trashy items to convert!"
If you can take one hit from a mob you otherwise couldn't, you'll probably get a kill following up with a first-strike rogue.

Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov has identified Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney as the ideal acquisition to transform the north London club into title contenders next season.
The Gunners are set to spend big during the summer transfer window, with Gonzalo Higuain of Real Madrid reported set to swap the Santiago Bernabeu for the Emirates Stadium in a record deal for the club.
Rooney has also been touted as a potential target for Arsenal, after the 27-year-old requested to leave Old Trafford at the end of last season - something confirmed by former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has insisted the club have the funds to be able to afford a player of Rooney's calibre this summer, although it is unclear if the Gunners have actually made an approach for the player.
Should Arsenal decide to move for the Manchester United star, then Usmanov would be the first to welcome it - with the Uzbek-born businessman of the belief any potential transfer would be a fruitful one for both the player and the club.
"He is a great player, there would be great success for Rooney [if he joined Arsenal], and for Arsenal too," Usmanov told CNBC.
Rooney has also been linked with a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, while Chelsea have been credited with interest in the former Everton trainee.

Topic: opnenldap not starting and unable to login and receive mail

Hello I have been running iredmail on my opensuse 12.1 server for a few months now for my business with no issues and now all of a sudden as of last week we are not able to login to our mailboxes or get mail. Absolutely no changes have been made to the server and it appears that the ldap daemon is not starting and I tried the database recovery, but that did not help my issue. Below are some of the errors in my logs.

The first weekend of the Manchester Merriment Holiday Inn Tour (go to visitmanchestervt.com for information on the December 8 tour and other events) was a resounding success here at Ormsby Hill. I'm sure our Christmas cookies, made by Candi and Courtney were the most spectacular in town.
We had visitors from Manchester and neighboring towns as well as out of state guests of nearby inns. The weather added to the holiday spirit, with a gentle snow fall. Scott McCampbell (firstname.lastname@example.com) was playing sensational jazz guitar, and Taylor Farm (www.taylorfarmvermont.com) brought cheese and artisinal goods from their farm, as well as other local sources.
Scott will be back with us next Saturday, and we hope Taylor Farm can make it back, too. Come taste some Vermont wine, eat some cookies, or just to say hi. Then, explore the other inns on tour, and you might as well do some shopping while you're in town!

Mayor Don Wesely said today the City Council should prioritize the public interest in economic development and allow the Lincoln Electric System (LES) to use its fiber optic lines to assist businesses that want the service.
"This is all about economic development," Wesely said. "A lack of multiple telecommunications providers often is cited as a weakness in attracting high-tech jobs to Lincoln. Businesses have said repeatedly they need redundant service for their high-tech operations and they want it from multiple providers. This is our opportunity to improve our economic competitiveness."
Fiber optic lines are bundles of hair-thin strands capable of transmitting large amounts of data. Fiber optic service has become essential to the operation of many businesses. LES now uses part of its fiber optic capacity to run the utility, but is seeking to make the unused portion available for use.
Redundant fiber optic service means that if one telecommunications provider goes down for any reason, a business can switch smoothly to a second provider without interrupting its business operations. Many business owners would prefer to have redundant service from separate providers in Lincoln. But because of the limited number of private providers, business owners do not have the redundancy they need in Lincoln.
"As Mayor, I've faced more than one frustrating economic development project because the redundancy issue was a stumbling block," Wesely said. "That doesn't make any sense, when LES stands ready to provide it."
The LES fiber is not a threat to private telecommunications companies, Wesely said. By offering redundant service, LES actually will complement the service local businesses receive from private telecommunications companies.
"Lincoln should capitalize on the public investment available in publicly owned fiber to stimulate job creation," Wesely said. "The community's interests have been hampered long enough by legal wrangling. The courts have said we can proceed, and the time to act is now."
Wesely also said Councilman Glenn Friendt's proposed amendment to the ordinance places "unworkable limits on LES's ability to offer the fiber to business," and he urged the City Council to reject the amendment.
"The Friendt amendment or any similar language that would restrict LES to leasing the fiber only to the existing telecommunication provider is no compromise," Wesely said. "That amendment does not address the demand for redundancy from multiple providers. The Friendt amendment or other similar language only continues to padlock the fiber the community owns."
Wesely said the Lincoln Journal Star made a strong argument for the LES position when it stated "the telecommunications lobby persuaded a majority of state senators to pass a law that padlocked the door."
"The Nebraska Supreme Court unlocked the door, and the City Council should not be afraid to open it," said Mayor Wesely. "The private marketplace will determine if the LES fiber could be a valuable economic development tool. Common sense dictates that it is time for Lincoln to use all of its resources."
Once the City Council has approved the ordinance allowing LES to offer its fiber, the LES Administrative Board will establish the operating policies.
"That is why LES has a Board," Wesely said. "There is no reason to pre-empt the LES Board process that is commonly cited as a very good model in the community. The much lower than average electric rates the system provides prove that the LES Board has performed well over the years."
Wesely encouraged LES to develop policies governing the fiber that:

Silver Whisper's Cuisineby Katrina Carter | Sept. 29, 2003
It's impossible to keep my voice low when I talk about my dining experiences aboard Silversea Cruises' 382-passenger Silver Whisper! I'm driven to talk out loud about this imaginative cuisine to anyone who'll listen!
The Silver Whisper, one Silversea's four luxury ships, serves some of the finest cuisine afloat, from the kitchens of the renowned Relais & Chateaux group of inns and restaurants. From the casual menu offerings at the Grill on the deck, luncheon buffets and special dining in the Terrace Cafe, to the Main Dining Room, I had few disappointments. Under the meticulous eye of Executive Chef Laurent Austrui, my dining experiences were filled with culinary surprises.
The private dining planned for The Champagne Room is surely the jewel in Chef Laurent's well-deserved crown! This new venue was launched on the Silver Wind in June 2003 and will soon be launched on the Silver Whisper. Designed with a team of Relais & Chateaux chefs, the exquisite Champagne Room will host an evening of private dining for 20-30 guests. Make your reservation as soon as you board and enjoy an evening of world-class dining.
At a dinner designed to preview the Champagne Room experience, I was treated to an evening of great dining without a misstep. Each course was paired with exceptional wines, selected by Head Sommelier Gabriele Chiappini. As we sailed toward Londonderry, U.K., I relished the first of six courses: a warm crushed new potato with chives and Sevruga caviar. As a glutton for caviar, I delighted in every bite! I was also very happy with the next course, foie gras ravioli with a truffle sauce! I usually sprint from liver in any form, but this was special. Delicately wrapped in light ravioli pasta, it was balanced with a perfect sauce making the dish luscious and not overbearing.
The next course, tempura-fried lobster tail, was another fabulous surprise. The lobster tail, marinated in a fine olive oil and lime leaves, was prepared with a simple wrap of fresh spinach and nori. Cooked to crispy perfection in a tempura batter, the lobster tail was presented on a light endive salad. This inventive, Asian-influenced course was a pleasure! Before the next course, we had a refreshing apple and rosemary ice granite -- delicate but distinct with the flavors of its ingredients. As a palate refresher, I found this granite to be exceptional.
I heard only compliments from anyone who selected the fish course. The freshest fish with herbs and fine olive oils is one Chef Laurent's favorites. Whenever possible, he includes local produce purchased while in port. As an example, grouper fish fillet and sea bass from the market in Copenhagen were offered as dinner entrees as we sailed out of that wonderful city.
Who doesn't love a unique and delicious dessert? Chef Laurent closed our evening in The Champagne Room with a surprising creation of glazed stuffed cherry tomatoes with 12 flavors, complemented with Madagascar vanilla ice cream! I was completely intrigued by this recipe, and I want to try it at home to "wow" a few guests!
Make a reservation for a special party in The Champagne Room as soon as you board the Silver Whisper! A new menu is offered each evening with courses selected from Chef Laurent's extensive repertoire of Relais & Chateaux-designed recipes and menus.
Special dietary requests are accommodated with low-fat, low-calorie menu selections for both lunch and dinner. This is an ever-expanding area of menu planning in the Silversea kitchen. With advance notice, Chef Laurent and his staff seek appropriate, healthful ingredients to create imaginative meals that meet dietary needs with imagination and flavor. I dined one evening with a guest who spoke proudly of achieving a significant weight loss. With several food allergies restricting her food selections, she raved about the special accommodations made by the chefs. They consistently presented creative and delicious meals that were within her food plan.
As a diabetic, I appreciate these considerations. I sampled some of the low-calorie or "zero-zero" calorie desserts and found most of them to be pleasant, with one humorous exception one evening. I selected a dessert of "zero-calorie" blueberry ice cream. I anticipated something that resembled blueberries made into ice cream, but the waiter presented scoops of something green! It was cold and sweet, but didn't have the flavor of anything in particular. I'd prefer Mother Nature's idea of blueberry ice cream! I'll add that some of the soup courses were less than stellar. Some combinations (carrot and ginger or sweet potato and cumin) piqued my taste buds' interest but failed to deliver any excitement. While pleasant to taste, the expected flavors were not distinct.
No, I can't merely whisper about the dining experiences on this Silver Whisper voyage. With no major culinary rough seas to endure, I sailed along through every port with the smile of a very happy "foodie"!
Here are two recipes I'm planning to serve at home. Give them a try!
TEMPURA FRIED LOBSTER TAIL WRAPPED IN NORI SHEET AND ENDIVE SALAD (Serves 4)
Tempura batter ingredients: 10 oz. of ice cold water 2 beaten eggs 1/3 cup flour passed through a fine sieve To make the tempura, mix the beaten eggs with the ice cold water and add the flour mixing with a fork (do not beat).
Beurre Blanc ingredients: ¼ cup dry white wine ¼ cup white wine vinegar 6 finely chopped shallots 3 sticks of butter Salt and freshly ground pepper To make the beurre blanc sauce, sweat the shallots in ½ stick of butter and add the wine and vinegar. Reduce until almost dry. Add 2 tablespoons of cream and add the balance of the butter slowly. You may need to add a bit of water to keep the beurre blanc smooth. Keep it warm in the pan but not boiling. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
Marinate and Lobster preparation: Warm extra virgin oil to 140 degrees and marinate with kaffir lime leaves overnight. Add peeled whole lobster tails and marinate a minimum of 2 hours. Wrap lobsters with spinach leaves then wrap in nori sheet (like a sushi). Keep lobster tail whole and dip into fresh tempura batter. (See recipe below) Deep fry the lobster until golden brown. Careful not to overcook.
Endive Salad preparation:
Julienne endives and season with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add chopped chives and season more to taste. Serve the endive salad in the center of a plate. Cut the cooked lobster in half and place on the salad. Finish with the beurre blanc sauce around the plate.
TWELVE FLAVORS "CONFITE" CHERRY TOMATOES WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM (Serves 4)
This original recipe is from Alain Passard, guest chef on the Silver Whisper in August 2002. He is the owner of Relais & Chateaux L'Arpege in Paris.
Ingredients: 16 cherry tomatoes 1 chopped fresh apple 1 chopped fresh pear ¼ cup of chopped fresh pineapple 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger 4 cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon Star Anise 2 teaspoons orange zest 2 teaspoons lemon zest ½ cup raisins 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint ¼ cup each chopped walnuts, almonds, pistachio 2 vanilla beans, scraped Juice of one orange
Preparation: In a hot sauce pan, saute the chopped fruits with a little brown sugar until almost done. Add the lemon and orange zest, grated ginger, cloves, cinnamon, raisins, fresh mint, walnuts, almonds, pistachio and one vanilla bean. Saute a few more minutes and set aside. Cut the tops of the tomatoes and remove the inside flesh. Fill each tomato with the fruit and nut mixture. Place the top back on the tomato and set aside. In a saucepan, caramelize a little sugar with the orange juice and the scrapings of one vanilla bean. Place the tomatoes in the sauce pan and cook in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Drizzle the tomatoes with the juices several times to give them a nice shiny coating. Remove tomatoes from the saucepan and arrange warm individual plates. Add a scoop of the best vanilla ice cream and garnish with mint and vanilla beans. Serve immediately and ENJOY!!!

Pan-roasted Pork Loin in Chocolate Chipotle Sauce
A dish with rich latin flavors
En español | Servers 4
- 1 teaspoon dry oregano
- 4 garlic cloves
- 11/2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced evenly
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon chipotle en adobo
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
1. Mash two cloves of garlic, oregano, salt and pepper into a paste, preferably with a mortar and pestle, and marinate the pork tenderloin with the mixture for at least two hours and up to six hours in a resealable bag. Place the bag in the refrigerator.
2. When you're ready to cook the tenderloin, turn oven to 375°F. Remove any excess marinade from the pork. Add one tablespoon of oil to a very hot sauté pan and brown the meat for 3 minutes on each side. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the meat thermometer registers 145°F. Let the meat rest before slicing.
3. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, add salt to taste, cover with water and then cook at a medium-high heat until the potatoes are completely tender.
4. In a separate pan, warm two tablespoons of olive oil and add the two diced garlic cloves. Sauté at low heat for 2–3 minutes, until the oil is completely fragrant. Drain the potatoes well and add the garlic-infused oil. Mash well.
5. Place chocolate on a small pot in a water bath at medium heat until the chocolate melts. Add the wine, stirring constantly at medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Add chicken broth, chipotle, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook 3–4 minutes, stirring at low heat until the sauce thickens.
6. Spoon the sauce over slices of pork tenderloin. Serve with mashed potatoes and a salad of your choice.
