Squaw Valley CEO Andy Wirth Said The Impact of the California Drought in 2015 Was Challenging
California ski resorts lost millions of dollars in 2015 thanks to the drought that has been hanging around the state for the last four years. The National Weather Service is always making fairly accurate predictions about rainfall and snowfall, but 2015 was one of those years that even surprised them.
California ski resorts like Badger Pass, Dodge Ridge, Donner Ski Ranch, Mountain High, Soda Springs, China Peak, Mount Shasta, Mt. Baldy and Tahoe Donner closed early in 2015 because the slopes were snowless. Even Squaw Valley, one of the 20 best ski resorts in the world, felt the pain of no snow in 2015.
CEO Andy Wirth has been in the ski resort business for more than 20 years, and he told Madeline Brand during a recent interview that 2015 was one of the worst years on record for the ski industry.
Andy Wirth was a guest on Brand's KCRW radio show, Press Play with Madeline Brand. Andy had a lot to say about the ski resort industry and the impact of the four-year California drought. Wirth told Brand that Squaw Valley is large enough to survive several more drought years, but he's not excited about that possibility.
Thanks to 70 years of excellent management by the Cushing family, Squaw Valley is financially sound and has the technology in place to ride out the drought. Wirth said his resort had more than 4,000 acres of snow in 2015. The resort kept snow on the slopes using their man-made version when they had to use it.
The interesting fact about the ski industry is most skiers like to travel to different slopes every year, so they always find a resort that has enough snow for them to enjoy.
Thanks to Squaw Valley's reputation and the $70 million renovations that took place in 2010, people from all over the world come to the resort for a variety of reason during the season. The Lake Tahoe area is one of the most popular areas of California, so visitors have a lot to do if they don't ski.
But as Andy Wirth points out, the resort is profitable when the slopes are full, and 2015 wasn't a year for full slopes. Revenues were down by 20 percent, and the board of directors of the resort doesn't like to hear numbers like that. But Wirth is a seasoned ski resort manager, and he knows how to be profitable. He spent 20 years with Steamboat Ski and Resort Corporation.
He is a graduate of Colorado State University and Edinburgh University in Scotland. He knows how to run a ski resort in good times and in bad. He also knows how to donate his time and money to several non-profit organizations in the Lake Tahoe Area.

George Soros is Incredibly Bearish on Gold
George Soros is returning to the world that made him famous. After a long time away from financial trading, George Soros is making a huge comeback. Based on reports in the Wall Street Journal, the amount of money George Soros wishes to trade with is far from a small amount. He is interested in putting billions of dollars into the market. No, George Soros is not interested in retiring. Even after many decades, trading is part of his life. His decision to return in such a big way, however, has taken the financial media by surprise.
The asset in which George Soros is choosing to put his money is gold. Considering the current economic situations across the world, this should not come as a massive surprise. Soros had warned that a failure to properly manage the current migrant crisis under control would cause major fiscal problems in Europe. He also noted that the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union would also ferment additional economic woes. Things have not reached the point of a meltdown, but Soros feels numerous factors rippling through global economies have the potential to cause a possible meltdown. At the very least, a significant recession could emerge.

A Bearish George Soros Is Trading Again
Billionaire Investor George Soros Sees Economic Trouble Ahead
Gold is an asset people see as a safe haven when currencies and stocks are in bad shape. Many people choose to venture into the gold market. Soros, as CNBC reports, is doing the same thing. He is just doing it on a massively grand scale.
Soros, through Soros Fund Management, has chosen to put $30 billion in the gold market. A massive amount of gold has been purchased with this money. The $30 billion likely comes from a disinvestment from stocks and currency. While the acquisition of physical gold is heavily reflected in the purchase, another strategy is at work here.
Soros is also putting money into gold mining stocks. As the demand and value of gold increases, these stocks are likely to increase. This may be the case even when the overall market might decline.
Over the course of the next year or two, all will be revealed in terms of whether or not Soros' trading gamble has paid off.

Tarallucci e Vino Crowns NY Restaurants With Personal Rooms
Private restaurant recommendations are well kept secrets among upscale NYC Private Event Spaces, who become self-presumptive over great private rooms where you host uniquely special events like birthdays, an anniversary, wedding rehearsal dinner, or even the wedding itself. The following have one common thread: The food is great, with chefs par excellence, themes and ambiance gift wrap the occasion, and the excellent service means you can sit back and enjoy yourself while someone else does the rest.
Gramercy Tavern
42 E. 20th St., Gramercy Park
Two decades have seen this awesome Danny Meyer restaurant continually packed, thanks to the deliciously prepared local American cuisine, currently stewarded by chef Michael Anthony. The dining room has a Robert Kushner mural and a woodsy atmosphere. Their private room is classic for confidential get togethers. The Gramercy has always been a great spot for a private event or dinner.
The Nomad
1170 Broadway,
Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park runs a menu here that is as incredibly delicious as it is elegant. Jacques Garcia designed the luxurious surroundings. Guests can choose clubby parlour velvet seats and Persian rugs, or in the alternative vein dine in the shimmering and exotic Atrium under a massive skylight. The Nomad offers several private rooms available of unique size and ambiance. I suggest guests opt for the rooftop dining, if possible. I actually scored a small table in the hotel's iconic cupola!
Tarallucci e Vino
Union Square
Tarallucci e Vin, situated on 18th Street at Union Square, was named perfectly, taking the colloquial expression of "small talk/biscuits and wine". I first experienced The Mezzanine at a private Rehearsal Dinner the night before the wedding of Contessa Luciana Rosa d'Ville to Dr. Geoffrey Allen, cardiothoractic surgeon to New York's celebrity circuit. The dinner party was beautifully served in the Mezzanine"s intimate ambiance. Everyone was comfortable and felt at home due to the staff's excellent service. Afterward, the guests socialized within the large bar and lounge area. The decor was awesome with brick tables custom-built, antique mirrors, cabinetry and art. The host advised that the restaurant has a well-stocked wine cellar with special vintage collections I should see some future time.
The following day was the wedding, held upstairs in the elegant and huge 6th Floor Loft. That is the actual name of the wedding site! The enormous facility had been transformed into a coastline villa of Tuscany, the bride's European home. When I expressed surprise at first sight of the accommodations, my usher said the area can be equipped for business, birthdays, or any type of special event, holding up to 120 guests at any time. The 6th Floor Loft also has its own bar, lounge,and spectacular antique mirrors and breathtaking chandeliers.
Of all the Special Event Hideaways I have explored, Tarallucci e Vino holds first place in my heart for its warmth, friendliness, and intimate persuasions for large or small events.

George Soros Highlights The Difficulties Faced By The U.S. And Europe In Assisting Ukraine
In order to help Ukraine, George Soros asserts that the allies of the country should combine sanctions against Russia. This way, no propaganda could prevail over the fact that President Putin's policies are to blame for Russia's political and economic problems. Soros argues that Russia has managed to gain temporary tactical merit over Ukraine because President Putin is determined to risk full-scale war and the use nuclear weapons. On the other hand, the allies of Ukraine are working on averting direct military clash with Russia. It is for this reason that Putin has managed to engage in hybrid war and peace according to his will.
In a large-scale war, Ukraine will not be able to prevail over Russia. This is because Russia has the ability to mobilize better armed forces. George Soros Ukraine believes that the U.S. and Europe have the power to outbid Russia financially. The inaction by the U.S. and Europe to provide Ukraine with financial assistance was hampered by the Greek crisis. The Greek crisis was caused by the euro crisis, thus the European Union could not follow the same route in assisting Ukraine. On the other hand, the Minsk agreement encouraged the European Union to keep Ukraine on a tight financial position.

Ukraine Deserves Debt Relief
Sustaining Ukraine's Breakthrough
Soros noted that the euro crisis resulted in acute shortage of funds for purposes of budgeting. The EU had a budget of € 145 billion, which was around 1% of member state's GDP. In addition, Europe was not growing, thus its member states were clamoring to shrink their contributions to the budget of the EU. Soros contends that the European authorities mandated to resolve the Greek crisis mishandled the situation. These authorities started by providing Greece with emergency loans at punitive rates of interest. In addition, they imposed their own reform programs on Ukraine and engaged in micromanaging the country. They did not allow Greece to own or take control of the reforms. According to Soros, the biggest impediment has been treating Ukraine in a similar manner to how Greece was treated by the European authorities.
The government of Ukraine has been fighting for the structural reforms highlighted on the Brady Plan of 1989. These plans are fighting corruption, reviewing and reforming the judicial system, enhancing agricultural functions, cleaning the banking system, securing the country from Russian gas and incorporating the economy into the EU among many other plans. One impediment against the country getting debt relief has been Chapter 11. This chapter assumed that coercing a country under heavy debts to pay these debts in full would not be good for business. It goes on to assert that making debt relief easier is good for business.
The efforts made by Ukrainian academicians and policy makers to have a sovereign debt restructuring mechanism have failed to take off just like in the past. This situation is not good for a nation like Ukraine because the narrative that default meddles with a country's reputation goes against the U.S. bankruptcy code. Soros argues that Ukraine should get debt relief in order to rebuild itself as the new Ukraine.

Securus Technologies Tries to Push GTL to Restore Its Company's Integrity
Global Tel Link is a telecommunications business that provides phone service to inmates within our prisons and corrections Centers. By providing lower rates for the inmates, it allows them to make contact with family, loved ones, and their lawyers more often. To the families that paid the monthly bill for this phone service a promise of receiving lower rates was a good thing.
In January of 1998, Securus Technologies Incorporated uncovered discrepancies in the bills of the inmates housed at the Louisiana Department of Corrections. Richard Smith, CEO of Securus contacted the Louisiana Public Service Commission, and informed them of what he uncovered concerning Global Tel Links billing and suggested they conduct an investigation.
The main concern of Securus Technologies was how these illegal techniques used by GTL would affect the integrity of all telecommunication businesses once the investigation confirmed Securus initial complaints. Securus Technologies is very proud of their business practices and care more for the satisfaction of their customers than the profits they make.
Securus Technologies strategy was to report Global Tel Links unauthorized business practices in multiple PR Newswire Press Releases within a six month period. GTL had managed to overcharge taxpayers of Louisiana by more than $1,000,000 with their unlawful charges. The goal of Securus Technologies was to push GTL into conducting business with a higher integrity.
Many years have passed, 18 to be exact, since the Louisiana PSC passed their order against GTL. Now it's 2016 and they are still conducting business billing their customers with fraudulent charges. When you care very much about your customers and take the responsibilities of your business seriously, you are not going to let the deliberate unethical practices of another company in the same industry go without notice.

George Soros Gives solutions to the Ukraine and Europe problems
George Soros Ukraine is a famous billionaire based in the United States of America. He is the founder of the Soros Foundation and an international charitable organization known as Open Society. He is very experienced in financial and political issues, and his opinion on such matters is highly respected. Recently, George Soros gave his opinion about the problems being experienced by Europe and Ukraine.
For some time now, there have been some structural defects in the euro, making the European authorities to become experts in handling difficult times. These authorities can now overcome each crisis that comes their way, and they have even given the practice a name, kicking the can down the road.
There is, however, a big problem for the authorities in Europe: they are now facing five crisis at the same time, and all of them need to be solved. Out of these crises, four are internal. Greece, the euro, migration, and the ongoing British referendum are the internal problems the European authorities are dealing with. The Russian aggression against Ukraine is also giving the countries sleepless nights. All the problems are reinforcing each other, making the public and also the authorities overwhelmed. Everyone is trying to find a solution for the problems.

Ukraine Deserves Debt Relief
George Soros – Business Leader, Philanthropist
Solving the five crises at a go is impossible. According to George Soros, the European authorities should give preferential treatment to some of the issues. However, they should not neglect any of them. In the past, the billionaire has been urging the authorities to give Ukraine the priority. He also says that the internal problems being faced are dividing the European Union. On the other hand, the Russian aggression against Ukraine seems to be uniting the Union.
Ukraine has reformed over the years. The new country is more determined to become better than it was. Before, the country was proving tough to reform. This is because the economy was dominated by a political class and oligarchs that were only after their private gain. On the other hand, the new Ukraine is determined and inspired by the Maidan revolution that took place in 2014.
According to George Soros, if the Europe treats the new Ukraine like a second class Greece, it will be forcing it to become the old Ukraine. This is not what Europe needs at the moment. The New Ukraine is actually one of the valuable assets in Europe at the moment. The new country will help in resisting the Russian regression and even recapturing solidarity that existed in before in the Union. George Soros Ukraine has a foundation in Ukraine, and he has been involved in the country for some years. This is why he is in a good position to make this argument. Recently, the billionaire wrote a winning strategy for the country, and this was one of his points.
Soros also believes that the current sanctions against Russia are important but not good enough. The president of Russia has managed to develop some favorable interpretation from the situation, and this will help him maneuver through the sanctions.

Every Dog Wants Something Different
I own six dogs. And six dogs eat a lot of dog food. To make it worse, all of my dogs seem to like different things, so if I bring home one 50 pound bag of dry food, that's not going to work.
Over the last few years I've tried many brands of dog food for my mini dog zoo. Almost nothing seems to work across the board because no one brand has enough flavors and varieties. However, recently I've discovered Beneful by Purina. This dog food line offers a great range of wet and dry foods. They also have many meat flavors, including beef, chicken, turkey and salmon, and all of their foods are nutritionally balanced.
Even better, Beneful makes foods for small dogs and puppies, not just adult dogs. I currently have one puppy, a Labrador terrier mix, which needs to eat puppy food. All my other dogs are adults, but I do have two smaller breeds that don't do so well on average dog foods that are generally designed for medium sized to large dogs.
The Beneful dog food that goes down best among my herd is the Originals line, because while none of them ever eat the same thing, three of my dogs like this line because it has different flavors. Fidget, my bulldog, eats the beef, Cora, my collie, eats the salmon, and Fred, my dalmatian, eats the chicken. Each of these dry foods is made with a variety of vegetables, fruits and whole grains to provide your dog with all the nutrients he needs.
My small dogs, my chihuahua, Sally, and my dachshund, Cricket, do well with the Chopped Blends line from Beneful.com. Again, they don't both like the same flavors, but thankfully there are several options. Sally likes the beef with carrots, peas and barley a lot, while Cricket enjoys the turkey with sweet potatoes, brown rice and spinach.
And my lab terrier mix puppy, thankfully, loves the Healthy Puppy dry food, which is specifically designed to provide all the nutrients that growing puppies need for a healthy life.
I'm really glad Beneful by Purinastore provides so many different types of dog food for my finicky range of dogs.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- It was business as usual Monday for Chicago White Sox starter Chris Sale, who breezed through the Colorado Rockies lineup. Sale appeared unaffected by his newly acquired riches after signing a five-year, $32.5 million contract last week that could escalate to seven years and $60 million.
Sale's command was so efficient that he ended up throwing five innings without getting to the 50-pitch count. He gave up one hit while becoming the first Sox starter this spring to go five innings.
"You obviously want to pitch to contact," Sale said. "More times than not, when the ball is on the ground it is better.
"Any time I go out there I am concentrating on throwing strikes and attacking the zone. I don't think I walked anyone."
Sale started the sixth inning and was immediately taken deep by Rockies catcher Pablo Torrealba, ending his day.
Sale has given up one run on four hits in 7.1 innings (two Cactus League appearances) this spring.
Although Sox manager Robin Ventura has not named an opening day starter, Sale is on a schedule to be the choice with an extra day of rest before the home opener April 1.
"We are going to keep going and see how everyone does," Ventura said. "We are not ready to (name a starter) yet. We will see how everybody is the next couple of weeks and go from there."
The only other possible opening day starter would be Jake Peavy, who has endorsed Sale for the role all spring .

Nobel laureate rips Bush, his "bleating little lamb"
class=img_thumbleft>75-year-old British playwrightHarold Pinter
won't be able to attend the ceremony for his Nobel Prize this Saturday, but he's already videotaped hisacceptance speech
. He describes the Iraq War as "blatant state terrorism," and reserves extra tongue lashing for the "pathetic and supine" Tony Blair, suggesting that Blair be tried as a war criminal. Pinter points out that he'd see President George W. Bush tried as well, but the crafty W. has made the scenario impossible by refusing to recognize international courts. The White House has released no immediate word whether Pinter will be included in this year's Christmas card list.

As others have already said, Trulia doesn't accept FSBO listing submissions. However if you choose to work with either a full service or flat fee broker or agent, he or she can submit your listing to Trulia via the link below.
Best Wishes,
Emily Erekuff
Community Moderator
For you to have your home listed for sale on Trulia, you have to hire a Realtor. Trulia only lists homes for sale which are represented by Realtors.
Shanna Rogers
SR Realty
Trulia will only list properties that are represented by an agent; not for-sale-by -owner.
You can list your home yourself on Zillow.com and Craigslist.com but in order to give your property maximum exposure on the internet; it's best that you work with a real estate agent as then your home will be seen on numerous real estate web sites.
I suggest that you interview a few local agents from different companies to determine who can give you the best marketing exposure and who you feel most comfortable working with.
Good luck!

ART REVIEW; Nation's Legacy, Icon By Icon
By HOLLAND COTTER
Published: April 23, 1999
''The American Century: Art and Culture, 1900-1950,'' which opens today at the Whitney Museum of American Art, is the first half of a two-part marathon end-of-an-era survey and a show of substantial if limited pleasures.
Its 600 or so works are angled and packed into all four floors of the museum's exhibition space, with roughly a decade's worth of art on each floor. Paintings and photographs predominate, along with a smattering of sculpture. A selection of ceramics, furniture, books, appliances and architectural drawings makes up the ''culture'' half of the equation. Vintage film clips and music generate atmosphere.
The result -- organized by Barbara Haskell, curator of prewar art at the Whitney, and Susan Cooke, an associate curator -- is not, despite its somewhat proprietorial title, about American esthetic imperialism abroad. Just the opposite, in fact. It is designed as a long trek through the turbulent history of American art at home. And by the time you've worked your way from Edith Wharton-era society portraits at the top of the museum to Jackson Pollock below, you have had a genuine time-travel experience: exhausting, sometimes diverting, occasionally moving, even pride-inspiring.
But it's also an experience dictated by the definition of 20th-century American art that the Whitney, the country's pre-eminent museum devoted to the subject, has been shaping for nearly 70 years, and it feels constrictive here.
It's a definition with roots firmly planted in European Modernism. By its lights, an avant-garde, generically and monolithically conceived, is the arbiter of value. Provincialism, whatever that means, is anathema. Art is something produced in a New York studio, not in an Iowa church hall or a sharecropper's kitchen in Georgia or a tenement bedroom in Baltimore.
Artists and historians have been chipping away at this blinkered view for 20 years and more. And its uncritical reiteration here -- laid out chronologically chapter by chapter, illustrated by a no-surprises string of canonical artists and their iconic works -- gives the show and its catalogue a staid, intro-level textbook feel, a bit like material that turns up on educational Web sites. (An on-line extension of ''The American Century'' has, in fact, been heavily promoted by the museum and was developed in collaboration with the show's chief sponsor, Intel Corporation.)
But American art in the first half of the century was an unruly, multifaceted, undefinable phenomenon, alternately hyped up and strung out, streetwise and above it all, emerging from a patchwork of disparate constituencies for whom no national style, modernist or otherwise, would ever do. And even when tamed and homogenized, as it is in this show, the vitality of that phenomenon somehow shines through.
The story begins at the Whitney in the turn-of-the-century Gilded Age, when a prosperous nation turned its face toward Europe. The American domestic interiors and society portraits gathered here have a Continental polish; Robert Henri's 1916 likeness of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the museum's founder, is executed with cosmopolitan flair.
But within genres that often served as pretexts for luxuriating in pure style, curious things happen. The subject of Thomas Eakins's painting ''The Thinker: Portrait of Louis N. Kenton'' (1900), with his pale, pinched face and creased shoes, is resolutely unglamorous. And the restless young woman in ''A Rose'' (1907) by Thomas Anshutz looks like Calamity Jane dressed for a ball; her passion-pink frock and the frown of vexation on her face don't match up.
Filmy Impressionist light fills the paintings of John H. Twachtman, one of many American artists who absorbed contemporary styles while in Europe. But the New York cityscapes of George Bellows are gilded with a plangent, still-warm 19th-century sunset glow. (It is worth remembering that the Hudson River School painter Frederic Edwin Church died only in 1900, and Winslow Homer and Albert Pinkham Ryder were still active at the time Bellows was doing some of his best work.)
The modern city determined the direction of much American art in this century. But early on, metropolitan life was self-consciously new; small-town communal values were still part of the urban mix, and artists had only recently begun to take the city as their primary subject.
Manhattan's towering architecture turned soft, almost pastoral in Edward Steichen's early pictures. George Luks painted his Lower East Side subjects as mugging Frans Hals peasants. And the great Lewis W. Hine photographed real peasants arriving -- voyage-stunned, expectant -- at Ellis Island, as if he understood they were the true cultural harvest that Europe was sending abroad.
The nation's old rural self-image lingered on in the decorative arts too (Tiffany windows, Rookwood pottery vases), and was distilled in the early abstract work of artists like Arthur Dove, who worked independent of European models, and Georgia O'Keeffe, who studied with the Asian-inspired art educator Arthur Wesley Dow.

Univerisity of Wisconsin Madison
Accademia Italiana (Other)
I earned my undergraduate degree in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a secondary degree in Design from the Accademia Italiana in Northern Italy, where I lived for 6 years. I have over a decade of teaching experience in art, English and Italian. I worked for a number of years at a Madison area art center, teaching students pre-school through 5th grade art lesson in drawing, painting, and sculpture. I have tutored students in computer based arts such as basic graphic design using digital photography and Photoshop.
While living in Italy I worked for an International Language Center through which I taught English in 4 pre-schools, 5 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, as well as individual adult courses. I also taught "Italian Language and Culture" courses to American exchange students studying in Italy. My level of fluency in Italian is advanced and I have a strong grasp of vocabulary, grammar, reading/writing and conversation skills.
In addition to classroom teaching I have tutored students one-on-one aged pre-school to adult in the arts, English and Italian. My level of language instruction ranges from basic to advanced. I've taught beginning vocabulary to pre-school aged children through songs and games, as well as professional level business English to high level Italian executives.
The joy of teaching is seeing how satisfied students are when the light bulb clicks on and they "get it"! My goal is to help each student learn in a way that works for them as an individual and enjoy the process at the same time!

I began working with Photoshop for a webdesign project in college in 1999, and have been using it regularly ever since. I am familiar with most of the photo editing and design options the program offers. I have creating a number of small graphic design projects such as brochures, business cards and the like. I had additional training in Photoshop during my design studies in Italy. We used the program to create presentations of furniture prototypes and similar design projects. I am talented at explaining complex procedures in simple terms. I am interested in tutoring students with basic computer knowledge, who are just getting started with Photoshop.
I'm interested in tutoring students with an interested in learning basic drawing skills, such as contour drawing, shading, still life, and perspective. I have taught numerous introductory drawing lessons to children from pre-school to middle school.
I truly enjoy working with students of all ages, but have has the most experience with preschool to middle school ages. I received my undergrad degree from the University of Wisconsin Madison in Art Education (K-12). I have nearly a decade of experience teaching art and language (English and Italian) to young students.
I have taught English as a second language to hundreds of students over the course of my 6 year stay living in Northern Italy. Through the International Language Centers where I worked I taught lessons at 4 preschools, 5 elementary schools, and 4 middle schools. I also taught adult classes beginner-advanced, as well as business English for international professions.
The degree I completed in Art Education prepared me in many areas of painting including watercolor, oils, and acrylic. I have taught various painting courses to children preschool-middle school, and have a number of fun-filled lesson plans that inspire creativity! As a painter myself I specialize in large scale, abstract acrylics. I enjoy mixing tactile medium in with the paints to create texture and body.
Composition, camera functions and display are all elements that can be taught starting at a very young age. I have taught basic photography courses for elementary-middle school aged children. Giving a student a challenge or specific guidelines for taking photos helps maintain focus and push the creative envelope. Coupled with basic Photoshop techniques a course on digital photography can give wonderfully creative results.

I was recommended this book by another author, and I have to say, this cover wouldn't have usually pulled me in. The cover just isn't very beautiful or creative, it honestly feels like something someone with a very minimal design budget and experience would have made by themselves. I was genuinely surprised when I found out it was a book represented by a major publishing house. That being said, the description and the recommendation made up for the issues with the cover, and I picked it up. I'm glad I did. The plot is a refreshing perspective on the Robin Hood tale, painting him in an interesting light and bringing Marian into the story in such an interesting way. I did have a few issues with the way it was written, first of all, it is my opinion that to balance show and tell, you shouldn't be telling us the way a person speaks but showing us. This is huge for me. I cannot stand funky written out dialect, which is what we received from the main character, not only in her dialogue but also in her manner of thinking. I would much rather of had the first time she spoke have it described and then perhaps have it described as a thickening accent when she was upset or something, well, anything other than the jolting writing of her poor English. This one factor alone pulled one star away from the story. Lastly, the level of description was just a bit obtuse for my taste. In the bits where there was action, I found I had to skim to find the action instead of the inaction. This docked another half star rating for me. Overall, this was an intriguing action-love story that I can't wait to continue reading and could have been better if the dialect was shown and not told.

Shelby met up with Jake as soon as we arrived, and they disappeared into the crowd of people. Ash held my hand as we wove our way through the party, saying hello to people we knew. We weren't drinking and mostly everyone else was, so in a way it felt like we were the only two people here. Ash was dressed as Dracula, with a cape his mother had sewn and those plastic vampire teeth that never really stay in place when you talk. Ash fielded a ton of questions about why he didn't dress like Bob Marley because of the dreads. After about the fifth time I heard him answer, "Who the hell is Bob Marley?" I pulled him aside.
"You know who Bob Marley is, right?" I asked.
He looked toward the unfinished roof and let out a long breath. "Yeah. I'm just sick of being compared to him because of my hair. We have like nothing in common besides the dreads, especially since I don't smoke pot."
"Well you play guitar and sing so . . ." I said, poking him in the stomach. "You have a little in common."
His frustration melted into a warm smile of appreciation as he looked me over, somehow seeing past all the makeup and taking me in as I normally am. "You're really beautiful," he whispered, taking both of my hands in his.
"I guess I did a terrible job of looking like an animated corpse," I said, squishing my lips to the side. "I'm supposed to be grotesque."
He leaned down and kissed me and then cradled my face in his hands. "You smell like Sephora, not the walking dead."
I laughed a little and reached my blood-covered hands around his silky vampire cape. I let myself get lost in his dark eyes and let all of the party noise fall away as I stared at him. We'd only been together a couple of months, but they were the best months of my life. "I'm so glad we're both home for Halloween," I said, lacing my fingers together behind his neck.
He gripped me around the waist and pulled me into a quick hug before meeting my gaze again. Something in his expression shifted and a knot formed in my stomach. "What is it?"
His tongue ran across his bottom lip, slowly, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, his lips parted and he shook his head slightly. "Nah . . . it's—nothing."
My brows pulled together. "Ash Carter. You're clearly keeping something from me."
He grinned, his eyes crinkling in that way that always made my heart melt. "Yeah, I am."
I crumpled my face into a pout. "That's mean. I thought you were a nice boyfriend."
He grabbed the sides of his cape and wrapped them around me, pulling me against his hard chest until we were in our own little black satin world. "I am a nice boyfriend," he whispered into my ear. The stubble on his chin tickled my cheek and I tilted my head, letting it nuzzle against his chest, right in between his neck and collarbone, the place I fit perfectly when we were together.
The radio started playing a slow song with a deep bass beat and Ash began to sway to the music, letting his chin rest on top of my head.
"You should tell me what you're thinking," I murmured into his shirt while we rocked slowly to the beat. He smelled so wonderful I'm not sure why I ever let myself get more than a few inches away from him.
"I will, Hana." I felt his lips press onto my hair. "I'm just not sure a dumb Halloween party is the best place to tell you that I'm completely in love with you."
I lifted my head and pulled back a little so that I could look at him. My heart was beating so fast it made my nose feel numb. "What was that?" I asked, aiming for coy and flirty, not shy and nervous.
Ash ran a hand over his dreadlocks and gave me this knowing look. "Oh it's nothing it's just . . . yeah," he said, taking out his plastic vampire teeth. "I'm in love with you."

Henry V
I love Historical fiction and Jean Plaidy is one of my favorite authors with historical fiction.
Childbirth in medieval Britain. Catherine of Valois, like many other women, would have undergone a lengthy "lying-in" period before and after the birth of Henry VI.
Catherine of Valois and Henry V would spend their Christmases at the Louvre. While there, Henry would display great pomp and circumstance, which was considered to be a crass move by some chroniclers of the time.
Charles VI, the Beloved, the Mad (1368 - 1422). King of France from 1380 to 1422. He married Isabeau of Bavaria and had eight children. He was very popular, but his insanity allowed the English to invade France. He was forced to disinherit his sons and leave to the throne to the English King, Henry V, who married his daughter Katherine.
Leeds Castle: The Queen's Room depicts a royal bedchamber from the early 15th century and was inspired by a French illuminated manuscript. The walls and bed hangings use an "HC" monogram which represents the marriage of Henry V and Catherine of Valois in 1420.
Leeds soon became known as a 'Ladies Castle', its royal residents included Eleanor and Margaret, the wives of Edward I, Philippa of Hainault, wife of Edward III, Catherine de Valois, wife of Henry V, Catherine of Aragon, wife of Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I, who was imprisoned here for a while.
Catherine of Valois Queen Consort of Henry V of England, mother of Henry VI, grandmother of Henry VII the first Tudor king, also the daughter of a king.Dates: October 27, 1401 - January 3, 1437 The son of Catherine and Henry, the future Henry VI, was born in December of 1421. Henry V died in August 1422, leaving the crown of England in the hands of a minor. During Henry's youth he was educated and raised by Lancastrians while the Duke of York, Henry's uncle, held power as Protector.
Catherine de Valois Queen of England (1401-1437),daughter of Charles VI of France and Isabeau of Bavaria

Henry V's marriage to Catherine of Valois
Owen Tudor, Henry VIII's great grandfather and from whom the Tudor line began. Owen was the second husband of Catherine of Valois, Henry VI's mother. Being a servant in her household, their romance and marriage was quite a scandal. They had four children, including Edmund and Jasper Tudor.

The most elaborate embroidered motifs are also on the back – the Crucifixion, biblical and saintly figures, and two shields or coats of arms bearing the personal devices of Sir Thomas Erpingham: an eagle rising and the red rose of Lancaster. Erpingham (about 1375–1428) was a close associate of Henry IV and Henry V and a veteran of the Battle of Agincourt (1415).

This is the English longbow, the lengthy design of this bow was so that the bowmen can fire at a longer range and generate more thrust from the bow hence generating more flight speed for the arrow and improving the chances of an arrow piercing through heavy armor, this bow was well known for it's use in the battle of agincourt.

21 May 1420 - The Treaty of Troyes was an agreement that Henry V of England and his heirs would inherit the throne of France upon the death of King Charles VI of France. It was signed in the French city of Troyes on 21 May 1420 in the aftermath of the Battle of Agincourt. It forms a part of the backdrop of the latter phase of the Hundred Years' War, in which various English Kings tried to establish their claims to the French throne.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
724 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016
Canadian high pressure will bring dry weather tonight through
Saturday. High temperatures on Saturday will range from the upper
70s to lower 80s, with pleasantly low humidity levels. The next
upper level disturbance approaching from the Great Lakes will
bring the next chance for showers for Sunday into Monday, possibly
lingering into Tuesday along with cooler temperatures. High
pressure Wednesday through Friday will bring warming temperatures
and mainly dry weather.
As of 654 PM EDT Friday...Forecast looks to be in great shape
this evening as ridge of high pressure is nosing into the
northern St. Lawrence Valley promoting clearing skies. Associated
surface-850 mb northerly flow helping to drop dewpoints into the
50s from north to south. Temps may not fall too sharply at first
but as winds go light and variable expect sizable temperature
falls given the dry air advecting in. Radiational fog in the
typical river valleys as well, all of which is handled well in the
going forecast. Projected lows look on track in the 50s to near
60, a more comfortable night than has been experienced in the past
couple for sure.
Previous near-term discussion issued at 415 PM Friday follows...
Quiet weather conditions tonight with light N-NW winds and mostly
clear skies. Should see min temps a bit cooler than recent days
with advection of lower dewpoints/clear skies/good radiative
cooling. Lows mainly in the 50s to around 60 near relatively warm
Lake Champlain. Looks like a good night for radiation fog to
develop around midnight in the favored river valleys of central
and eastern VT, and also across the valley locations within the
northern Adirondack region.
Pleasantly dry conditions for Saturday with weak surface high
pressure across southern Quebec providing light north winds and
sfc dewpoints in the low-mid 50s. Model RH, cloud fields, and
simulated satellite all show some areas of high clouds from time
to time through Saturday so skies will partly to mostly sunny. 850mb
temperatures of +11 to +14C depending on the model of choice but
all should translate to afternoon highs in the upper 70s to lower
80s. Winds light and variable.
As of 415 PM EDT Friday...12z guidance not all that consistent,
but consistent enough to indicate that there will be period of
showers (perhaps a steady moderate rain) sometime between late
Sunday into Monday, all in association with a trough swinging
through. That trough and associated energy is currently back
across Nebraska. Timing differences between the models, with ECMWF
being the fastest (showers by Sunday morning), the GFS with it`s
showers coming in during the afternoon, and NAM the slowest with
nothing really until early evening. Stuck a little closer to the
GFS as it seemed like a good compromise. Thus painting in
increasing chances of showers from southwest to northeast during
the day.
Some interesting signals in the models for late Sunday/Sunday night.
All models show some precipitation "bullseyes" where they indicate a
small area of locally heavy rain. Doesn`t appear to be convective
feedback, as models keep instability very minimal during the period.
However over the course of 18 hours or so, QPF adds up in the
models. GFS has a swath of 2-3" from south-central VT back across
central NY. ECMWF has 2-3" almost everywhere across VT, with lesser
totals west. NAM has 1-2" from central VT extending southwestward.
Great variability in the model depiction. Think this is due to how
each model handles the shortwave energy, which appears to come
through in pieces, combined with convergence aloft around the 700mb
level. Soundings do indicate a fairly juiced atmosphere, with
Precipitable Water values around 1.5", fairly deep warm cloud depth
(11-12k ft) along with rather weak winds, with 850mb trending
southeasterly (hint of atlantic moisture tap). Bottom line, could
see some downpours, perhaps Sunday night.
For precip totals in the forecast, I went with an overall model
blend including output from 00z model suite. End up with rainfall
totals of 1-1.25" across South-Central VT. Lower amounts the further
north you go -- just 0.25-0.33" or so up along the Canadian border.
At this point don`t expect any flood issues. Ground in that part of
the state is very dry (borderline moderate drought), and as long as
the rain falls over several hours, the ground will absorb it.
However, something that will need to be watched in later forecasts.
As mentioned above, instability is very minimal, so primarily rain
showers with only isolated rumble of thunder expected. Precipitation
will be slow to end on Monday, with lots of clouds around.
Temperatures Sunday 70s to perhaps lower 80s (depends on how quick
the showers get in). Will be on the cool side Monday with all the
clouds, just 70s.
As of 415 PM EDT Friday...okay agreement between 12z suite of GFS
and ECMWF. Both show a weak shortwave moving across early on
Tuesday that should result in a few showers first thing in the
day. Ridging aloft develops mid/late week, though ECMWF is much
more pronounced with it. GFS is, like the 00z run, showing a
flatter ridge. Even so, it should be dry Wednesday and Thursday.
Perhaps an isolated shower in some of the higher terrain, but have
PoPs less than 20% both days. A front will be approaching on
Friday, though at this point the 12z runs keep us dry. With 00z
runs having a slightly faster timing, have kept some 20-30 PoPs in
for Friday, in the event later models speed up again.
Probably the most noticeable aspect of the weather next week will be
the increasing heat. GFS has 925mb temperatures of 20-22C on
Wednesday and increases it to 24-26C by Friday. ECMWF is a little
cooler. Thus looking at highs well into the 80s to even lower 90s by
Thursday and Friday. 25C at 925mb typically translates to 35C (95F)
at lower elevations. Not ready to go that warm yet, but followed
the previous forecasters idea of upping high temperatures a few
degrees from the base model blend.
.AVIATION /00Z Saturday THROUGH Wednesday/...
Through 00Z Sunday...Mainly VFR except local LIFR/VLIFR in FG at
KMPV/KSLK 06-12z Sat. Afternoon cumulus clouds dissipating with
skies becoming mostly clear overnight. Locally dense radiation
fog at KMPV/KSLK by about 06z and should be gone by 12-14Z Sat.
Some cumulus at 3500-4500 ft aft 14z Sat with some high clouds
moving in from the southwest in advance of a warm front aloft.
Light to calm wind overnight becoming light northwest during the
day Saturday.
Outlook 00z Sunday through Tuesday...
00z Sun-00z Mon: Mainly VFR, possible MVFR in evening showers
with approaching weak low pressure.
00z Mon-12z Tue: Areas of MVFR in showers. Local IFR possible
with weak low pressure.
12z Tue through Wednesday: Becoming VFR with building high
NEAR TERM...Loconto/Sisson
SHORT TERM...Nash
LONG TERM...Nash

Denny Moers' photographic monoprints start out with subjects as diverse as New England architecture, ancient Egyptian tomb reliefs, medieval wall frescoes, contemporary construction sites and western desertscapes. The artistry and alchemy continues in the darkroom, where Moers brings forth unexpected, even colorful, surprises from his black-and-white images.
Moers uses a unique developing process that controls the action of light on chemical-sensitized photographic paper. A body of the Rhode Island photographer's water-themed monoprints are on exhibit together for the first time in a show titled "Near Water's Edge" at New London's Custom House Maritime Museum. The works investigate the various manifestations of water in dams, rivers, lakes and flooded fields.
Moers earned his MFA from the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, N.Y. He received a Rhode Island Pell Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2003 and the Rhode Island Council on the Arts Fellowship in Photography for 2012. His monoprints are included in more than 30 public and private collections throughout the world.
We asked Moers about his art and unique photographic process.
Q. In the digital age, what continues to draw you to your method of printing?
A. I've worked in the darkroom, as all older photographers have, until the digital transition. In terms of art making, I've continued to work in the darkroom with traditional materials, as I always have. It's very satisfying, partly because I do like the craft element of working with my hands, and I find that's completely lost in the digital platform, and, because I can't conceive of making art digitally. I do event photography - that's what I shoot digitally. And I teach digital and darkroom (techniques).
Q. How do you continue to grow as an artist?
A. There's a lot of process in my art because it's not seen or experienced as a straight black and white photograph it stems from. The growth mostly comes from growth of ideas, but the process is so second nature to me. It's kind of synonymous to a musician playing guitar or violin (his) whole life doesn't have to move to a different instrument to grow. Sticking in a discipline with the same materials, you're forced to grow by content, not by bells and whistles with technique that the digital Photoshop world excels in. It's all about control with Photoshop. The most important tool is the save tab. To an artist, a painter, that's a joke. Why on earth would you want to press the save tab? Working with my hands on one print at a time allows me to think that way.
Q. How did you discover that the chemicals in developing and printing would permit-as poet Robert Creeley says in his essay about your work-"a curious and emphatic coloring" - as though drawing information from the image itself?"
A. It was accident. I've always treated the darkroom as a place of experimentation. I'm very skeptical of the control that dominates photography. And I have no fundamental interest in that. By experimentation, I've kept open that idea: What if you put this chemical on this piece of photo paper in this order instead of that order? It's pretty far away from a traditional photographer who thinks in terms of control-I balance that at least with 50 percent accident. It's allowed me to see these materials differently and discover color that hadn't been explored before? I'm just applying traditional formulas of toning black and white photography. I'm also applying light in a way that hadn't been used before?the way light is used in the processing.
Q. When did you start taking photos?
A. It's been a form of self-expression since I was a teenager growing up in L.A.-I've never wavered.
Q. When did you come to this area?
A. I've been in Rhode Island since the '70s. I came to work for the renowned photographer Aaron Siskind (in Providence). He invited me to print for him when he was getting older. He was a great person. He also had a strong relationship with painting and abstract expressionist painters - their sensibilities. I grasped that. I understood how he was thinking, working differently than other photographers.
Q. You've stated that music and poetry have been primary influences on your work. Can you explain how?
A. Poetry (gives me) a kind of foundation of understanding, how to think about things?exactly what I've been doing but didn't know how to put into words. A poem is so bare-pen and paper, depends on the same words over and over, the same words we talk with. Photography is kind of the people's language, too. We can all point our cameras at the same things (the way) poets figure out something with those same words.
Music is so important because a darkroom is such a small, enclosed space and I'm passionate about music. I do feel I become influenced by what I'm listening to while I'm printing. I can close the door and blast the music. It fills the rooms and it's like a private arena for music. Chamber music and electric folk music have always been potent for me.
Q. How many photographs are in this show, and how did you choose them?
A. Ten or 12-some are overseas, some in the West, some in New England. They're all connected by water themes and not just natural landscape, but also structures, dams in the water-anything I connected to the movement of water. That's what is going to unify this show.
What: "Near Water's Edge," photographic monoprints by Denny Moers
When: Opening reception, 6 to 8 p.m., Jan. 26, to coincide with Hygienic Arts Annual Salon Des Independants art show. Show run suntil Feb. 16.

I recently went to this salon for a sew in weave. They have the best quality Brazilian hair and the stylist Debbie is the best around! They also do perms, braids, etc. I love this salon!
