ESTES PARK, CO- Skyfox flew over Estes Park where flooding has done tremendous damage.
Agencies continue to focus on life safety priorities and assessing conditions related to public safety as well as public resources.
Current priorities are assessing the safety of structures and letting evacuees return to properties when possible, as well as increasing access to Estes Park.
Officials there say there are no significant injuries or missing people have been reported in the Estes Valley at this time.
○ Evacuation areas include low-lying properties around Fish Creek and the neighborhoods to the east of the road, and neighborhoods all rivers from the U.S. 34/36 intersection west through town and west down the Big Thompson and Fall Rivers in Estes Park. Also evacuated is the Highway 66 corridor beyond Aspen Brook/Dunraven Inn.
○ The evacuation shelter, effective immediately, has been moved from Mountain View Bible Fellowship to the Estes Park Conference Center at 101 South Saint Vrain Avenue. Information updates, phones, television and internet will be available at the Conference Center for evacuees. Activities for children are available at the Conference Center as well.
○ Large animals should go to the Fairgrounds at Stanley Park and small animals to Animal Medical Center.
○ Small animals may now also be taken to Animal Hospital of the Rockies (Animal House), located at 453 Pine River Lane.
○ Be aware of scams; don't hesitate to ask for identification if someone comes to your home.
○ A special flood relief fund is now set up through Crossroads Ministry to receive and disperse funds for local flood victims. Visitwww.crossroadsministryofEP.org to donate; designate donation for flood relief. To date $5,500 has been raised.
○ Volunteer and other assistance offers may be sent to email@example.com. There is a volunteer committee of community partners working to set up operations to utilize the offers we've already received. They are hoping to be open 7 days a week and are working to be up and running by Wednesday. Stay tuned for contact information.
○ The Town is working with other agencies and local businesses to evaluate public resources including fuel and food. Fuel, food and other supplies are coming into Estes Park.
○ Most ATMs should be working and available to withdraw funds.
○ From the U.S. Postal Service:
Estes Park residents' mail is being held at the Grand Lake Post Office and we hope to see our local Post Office reopen very soon. Please note that USPS is picking up outgoing mail from the blue boxes, but not cluster boxes.
○ Anyone who needs emergency medication should visit the Conference Center evacuation center with copy of driver's license by 1 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday to have staff pick them up. No other mail can be collected.
○ UPS is planning to resume deliveries to Estes Park today and FedEx is hoping for tomorrow.
o Even if you do not see water damage and structural problems, it can still be there. It is critical for your safety that you not attempt to reenter evacuated areas without further information. This will be provided as it becomes available.
o Rapid assessment teams are reviewing structure conditions along the flood plain downtown, Fall River and Big Thompson drainages. Please wait for further information and do not risk your safety by entering those structures. Placards posted on doors will indicate the safety of the assessed structures. Police will ultimately allow access back to the area before anyone should try to access the structures.
o The Town is working to revise the flood plain mapping to help regulate those areas since it has changed.
o Larimer County Health will join assessment teams to examine food and beverage establishments for health evaluation.
o Additional technical assistance is arriving to assist in these efforts.
o Once evacuees are able to return to homes and businesses, they should read safety and recovery resources availablewww.estes.org and www.larimer.org/health/emergency/
o The Town's dedicated line for building safety inspection information is 970-577-3722. Please call if you have building safety concerns about your property.
○ Highways U.S. 34, U.S. 36, C.R. 43 are closed by the managing agencies.
○ The shuttle to Denver will continue through Friday, sign up at the evacuation center by 11:00 a.m. each day with a trip leaving at 2:00 p.m. The shuttle will only drop at 2 locations near the Denver Airport, to be determined. Hotel reservations and further transportation will need to be made by those requesting the service.
The National Park Service confirms that Trail Ridge Road is currently open through RMNP for essential traffic. East bound traffic will only consist of community residents, family members of community residents providing support, emergency services and delivery trucks. Estes Park community's infrastructure is overwhelmed due to the magnitude of this historic flood event. The limited resources must be focused on response and recovery. No visitors to the area will be allowed to travel east bound on Trail Ridge Road to Estes Park, even those with advance plans and reservations in the community. 90-feet is the vehicle length limit and there is no weight limit. The Park is otherwise closed to the public.
○ The use of Highway 7 to enter Estes Park is still restricted by the National Guard to Estes Valley residents or family arriving to assist them, people who work in Estes Park, supply deliveries and emergency services, as well as visitors exiting Estes Park. Those visitors will not be allowed to return during these conditions. Rumors that this has changed are incorrect. We are working with our partners to see that the road can be opened as soon as infrastructure stability allows.
○ There are no boil orders in place for any of Estes Park. The boil order was lifted for the neighborhoods around Fish Creek that previously received the order from our staff.
○ Some properties along Fish Creek will continue to be without water until that can be restored.
○ Other areas are fully restored.
○ The Water Division is taking quality samples throughout Town to ensure water quality and safety.
○ The bulk water dispenser is available on Fourth Street – Visit Town Hall to set up a prepaid account.
○ Town of Estes Park utility bills will be delayed in going out, and there will be a grace period on payments.
○ Elkhorn Avenue is now open
○ The Town is working to open roads downtown as quickly as possible The Town will begin cleaning up the Riverwalk tomorrow.
○ The Town is working on a plan for debris management.
○ Public Works crews are working around the clock to evaluate and clear public infrastructure.
○ Many roads have suffered severe damage. Engineering efforts currently include where and how to create temporary bridges and egress for the affected areas before winter so that we can provide as much access as possible.
○ Sand bag materials are no longer available to the public.
○ Upper Thompson Sanitation District has established a "NO FLUSH" zone for many neighborhoods on public sewer system from U.S. 36 south to Kiowa Trail and Little Valley. See map atwww.facebook.com/TownofEstesParkCO to see if your neighborhood is included. The area inside the line on the map is the sewer outage "NO FLUSH" zone until further notice. Sewer lines in this area are draining directly into the watershed until they can be repaired. Residents and businesses within this area should not flush toilets or limit flushing as much as possible. Use toilets elsewhere if possible! Gray water like showers, sinks and laundry is more acceptable, but please limit to what is absolutely necessary. Residents in all other areas in Estes Park on public sewer lines are able to resume normal use of the toilets and other drains.
○ Due to the "NO FLUSH" zone, Port A Potties have been delivered to areas along the Fish Creek drainage for those in in the No Flush zones (at the streets that intersect with Fish Creek, as well as in the Lone Pine area.
○ The Estes Park Sanitation District and Upper Thompson Sanitation District plants are now running.
○ Waste Management had to pull the roll-offs throughout Town because they weren't being used for essential trash. The Town is providing a roll-off at the Fairgrounds Park-n-Ride off Manford Avenue. House hold trash can now only be delivered to the fairgrounds via the Community Drive gate Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. No flood debris will be accepted. You must check in at the gate.
○ Waste Management began working to restore normal trash pickup schedules throughout the community where infrastructure is safely passable.
○ Crews are responding to power outages as quickly as possible. Power outages should be reported to 970-586-5335.
○ Power is on to approximately 50 residences in Glen Haven approximately one mile south of downtown Glen Haven. Larimer County is assisting with access.
○ Town of Estes Park utility bills will be delayed in going out, and there will be a grace period on payments.
○ Cellular services are restored to limited capacity. Please restrict use to necessity — text data will be best to ensure towers can accommodate use. Do not send videos or photos. This is critical for emergency services' ability to use the service.
○ Century Link has restored landline phone service in Estes Park. Landline 9-1-1 has been restored locally, so working landlines should be able to call 9-1-1.
○ Airbits is providing free public WiFi at Stanley Village, Appenzell Inn on Big Thompson Ave., Mountain View Bible/Evac Center, and downtown. No Password required. Summitview Coffee on Moraine is also providing free wi-fi at their location as are many other businesses. The Town has free WiFi at Town Hall and the Estes Park Visitor Center. Computers and internet are available at the Estes Valley Library.
o The American Red Cross Safe and Well website should be used to find someone or post information about your location for your family and friends. Visit www.safeandwell.org. Due to extreme volume of requests, responding agencies and the local Red Cross volunteers cannot manage this and ask that citizens use this website to contact one another. Register today!
o DO NOT call the evacuation centers as facility phones are not public lines and evacuation center staff is limited to a degree that they cannot add this to their responsibilities.
○ Estes Park Schools will open next week as usual but will not hold classes. Students may be taken to the school for care and feeding during the days. They are not required to attend but the schools want to be available as a resource. Buses will not run.

○ The Estes Park Town Board met at 12 noon Sept 12. to ratify a disaster declaration for Estes Park.

Quantitative easing does not equal competitive currency devaluations – at least that's the message the Group of 20 tried to convey at its April 18-19 gathering. But in the real world, QE does depress the value of a currency and causes international tension and market distortions.
Instead, QE is all about stimulating economic growth and a weaker currency is just an unfortunate side-effect. And on that note the Japanese had a particularly good summit as their aggressive re-inflation policies were effectively endorsed. Meanwhile, JPY is likely to weaken further, much to the discomfort of Japan's trading rivals.
The big trade-off that Japan and the international community are betting on is that the country's monetary policy will revive economic growth, which will be to everyone's benefit. It would be ironic, however, if that growth came about due to more exports rather than through increasing expenditure by domestic consumers. Rather than spending, many Japanese households may instead decide to invest their money abroad to safeguard its value.
Japan started tinkering with QE as far back as 2001, but used it on a more modest scale than the U.K. and U.S. and was mainly deploying it to help its shattered banking system cope with rapidly deflating asset bubbles and financial stress.
In terms of scale Japan is catching up with the U.S. and U.K. in quick time with a view to using QE to stimulate sustainable economic growth. There is, however, no guarantee that this will happen and it may prove to be a dangerous monetary experiment. Nonetheless, it is also an attempt by Japan's new government to grapple with its deeply unsustainable fiscal position with a GDP to debt ratio of around 230% and climbing.
Economic growth – whatever it takes
Reviving sustainable economic growth and creating jobs moved up the agenda at this G-20 meeting. Tolerating Japan's stimulus efforts even with a weaker currency also allows plenty of scope for other countries to do the same if they deem it necessary. The G-20 will simply be "mindful of unintended negative side effects stemming from extended periods of monetary easing."
With the IMF foreseeing slower global growth, the scene could be set for more rounds of QE from other countries, in particular the U.K. and maybe even the U.S. if sequestration starts to sap private sector consumption. It's possible that even the European Central Bank could eventually move toward QE type policies, particularly if the German economy is hit by recession.
Another notable from the G-20 event was to put off the day that governments running large fiscal deficits try to put their books in order. 'Austerity' is becoming a dirty word given Europe's experience with it, which in many ways mirrors attempts by governments during the 1930s to balance their books, which helped prolong the Great Depression.

The Android modding community will never cease to amaze me. XDA developer NODO-GT has recently developed a software mod for the HTC Sensation 4G that drastically improves the device's imaging capabilities with a few simple flashable files.
With NODO-GT's camera mod, called "HQ Camera for ICS," Sensation users can get much more out of the 8 megapixel shooter affixed to the device's backside. By doing away with compression on .jpgs and increasing the allowed data size of images, photos taken with the Sensation come out cleaner and sharper than with stock software.
Video recording has also been improved. HQ Camera for ICS allows for 1080p video recording at 20Mbps, with future updates to the mod bringing improved 720p video capture and 1080p recording at 40Mbps. There's also an experimental 1250 ISO mode.
So just what do all these numbers mean? Do they really translate to better quality images? Yes. Just take a look at the sample images in the gallery below. Both images are still frames from video taken. You can easily tell which one comes from the modded camera app.
For more info on the mod, head on over to XDA. Let's hear it for the developers that make this stuff happen.

K.J. McDaniels named Coaches All-ACC 2nd Team
|2014-03-10 16:00:28.0-
GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Duke's Jabari Parker, who led the ACC with 14 double-doubles, and the nation's fourth-leading scorer T.J. Warren of NC State are among first-team honorees on the Coaches All-ACC Basketball Team announced on Monday.
The first-, second- and third-team selections were made by a vote of the league's 15 head coaches. Balloting took place during the final week of the ACC regular season and was based on regular-season performance.
Parker and Warren were joined on the first team by North Carolina's Marcus Paige, Syracuse's C.J. Fair and Virginia's Malcolm Brogdon.
A freshman hailing from Chicago, Ill., Parker was the lone unanimous selection on the team after coming in at second in the league in scoring (19.2) and first in rebounding (9.0). Parker also holds ACC marks of first in defensive rebounds (6.03), third in field goal percentage (.487) and third in offensive rebounds (3.0).
Warren, a 6-foot-8 forward from Durham, N.C., enters the ACC Tournament as the league's top scorer (24.8), the second-highest mark in the conference since 2006 and the third highest since 1993. Warren scored in double figures in 29 of 30 games this year and owns the league's high-water mark with 42 points. In total, Warren had nine 30-plus point games and closed out the regular season with back-to-back 40-point games.
The leading scorer for the Tar Heels this year, Paige followed up his 2013 ACC All-Freshman season with a solid 2014 that saw him average 17.1 points, 4.45 assists and 1.58 steals. In all, Paige ranked in the Top 10 in eight individual categories in the league, including scoring (sixth), assists (fourth), steals (fifth), free throw percentage (second) and 3-pointers made (third).
Fair, who led the Orange in scoring for the second consecutive season, heads into the ACC Tournament with a scoring average of 16.9 points. A senior from Baltimore, Md., Fair ranked ninth in the league in field goal percentage (.441) and 16th in rebounding (6.2).
Brogdon, who returned to the court after missing the 2013 season due to a foot injury, led the Cavaliers to a league-record tying 16 ACC wins and their first outright regular-season title since 1981. A sophomore from Norcross, Ga., Brogdon was UVa's leading scorer with 12.6 points per game. Brogdon was the league's only player to score in double figures in each conference game this season.
Syracuse's Tyler Ennis (12.4 ppg, ACC-leading 5.55 assists), Pitt's Lamar Patterson (fourth in the ACC at 17.6 ppg), Duke's Rodney Hood (eighth in the ACC with 16.5 ppg, second in 3-pt percentage), Clemson's K.J. McDanielsK.J. McDaniels

Birmingham, AL
View Full Profile (fifth in the ACC at 17.2 ppg, seventh in rebounding at 7.1) and Virginia's Joe Harris (11.4 ppg) were voted to the second team.
The third team is comprised of North Carolina's James Michael McAdoo (14.2 ppg, 6.6 rebs), Boston College's Olivier Hanlan (third in the ACC at 18.6 ppg), Maryland's Dez Wells (10th in the ACC at 14.8 ppg), Notre Dame's Eric Atkins (13.9 ppg, second in the ACC at 4.81 apg) and Miami's Rion Brown (ninth in the ACC at 15.4 ppg).

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A person familiar with changes at "The View" said that Jenny McCarthy is leaving as co-host after one season.
McCarthy's exit comes on the heels of Sherri Shepherd's announcement Thursday that she's leaving the daytime talk show.
Shepherd, part of "The View" for seven years, and ABC could not come to terms on a new contract, according to Shepherd's manager.
McCarthy's one-year contract also was up for renewal and no deal was made, said the person who lacked authorization to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
On her Twitter account Thursday, McCarthy posted, "If Sherri goes ... I go too."
McCarthy's publicist, PMK-BNC, did not immediately respond to a call and email seeking comment.

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Creme Fraiche and Herbs
- Merrill
While I have always been somewhat of a sweet potato addict, I prefer savory preparations to the traditional brown sugar and maple syrup concoctions typically found on the Thanksgiving table. I originally got the idea for these potatoes from Marcus Samuelsson, chef and co-owner of Aquavit in Manhattan. A few years ago, he teamed up with Slow Food to give cooking lessons to some of the students at The Children's Storefront, an independent tuition-free school in Harlem. I happened to be there observing one afternoon when he taught the kids his version of the recipe, and I have been making my own adaptation ever since. I hope you'll find the combination of sweet potatoes, crème fraîche, garlic, herbs and parmesan as rich and satisfying as I do.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Crème Fraîche and Herbs
Serves 6
- 3 lbs. sweet potatoes
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
- salt
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 3 Tablespoons crème fraîche
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- freshly ground pepper
1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Put the potatoes in a saucepan with the milk, cream, thyme, bay leaf, garlic clove and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
2. Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid, and return them to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer. While the potatoes are still warm, stir in the butter, crème fraîche and parmesan cheese. At this point, stir in some of the cooking liquid—a little at a time—until you reach a good consistency. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Cover the potatoes and keep warm until you're ready to serve them. (If you are planning to reheat the potatoes, you can save the rest of the cooking liquid to prevent them from drying out.)

Home sales are, in some respects, hotter than ever: Supply is down, prices are edging up and builders are building again.
But less noticed is the resurgence of furniture retailers in Southwest Florida, whose showrooms fill most of the houses that get sold.
As both sectors rebound, consumer demand for couches, kitchen fare and patio sets is being filled by a few new names and a familiar old one -- Robb & Stucky.
In all, Southwest Florida furniture merchants sold $41.67 million worth of home furnishings in December, according to the most recent data available. That's 15 percent higher than December 2011, and larger than any month since the onset of the Great Recession and the region's housing collapse in 2007.
But the December tally, while punctuating a trend, is hardly a new phenomenon. Rather, it is a testament to how far the region has come since the depths of the downturn. In December 2012, sales were already up 32 percent from the same month in 2009, according to business tax receipts filed with the Florida Department of Revenue.
"Consumer confidence, the job market and the performance of the stock market all affect our sales, but the most important factor is the real estate market," said Steve Lush, president of Robb & Stucky International Inc.
"Once houses start selling and new housing projects go up, people start coming in with floor plans, ready to buy new furniture," said Lush, whose chain is preparing to reopen a store it operated on South Tamiami Trail that closed amid the downturn.
A retailer's return
The Robb & Stucky story is emblematic of the arc most furniture retailers have endured over the past decade.
In 2006, the chain was among the top sellers in Southwest Florida, even though its trendy designer furniture cost more than many other outlets' offerings.
By 2009, though, Robb & Stucky ran aground, sunk by sluggish home sales and consumer concerns about big-ticket items. Two years later, amid a corporate bankruptcy filing, the 80-year-old chain abandoned its stores, including its location in Sarasota.
Later this year, the chain plans to return to the same 70,000-square-foot showroom, with a renovated building and a new -- less-expensive -- line.
It isn't the only new player to the market.
Ashley Furniture is set to open its first Southwest Florida store this year, in the Shoppes at University Center off University Parkway, in Manatee County. Ashley's free-standing, 40,000-square-foot building is under construction.
The key driver
That may be no coincidence: Furniture industry participants say there is evidence that this region is experiencing a greater spike than elsewhere in the state.
Kent Haas, manager at the Baer's Furniture on Clark Road in Sarasota, said sales have been up at all 16 Florida stores, but they are booming at the chain's 83,000-square-foot location on Clark.
"We've seen double-digit growth over the past three years, which we have not seen for a while," Haas said.
Although that growth has not hit pre-recession levels, Haas is hopeful that the market rebound will continue.
By comparison, in healthy economic years, economists expect sales in most categories to rise 2 percent to 5 percent, accounting for inflation, population increases and some true gains.
Without question, housing remains the key driver for this furniture industry renaissance.
"In areas like Sarasota, where the market is recovering, we are starting some improvements with some of these businesses," said Jack McCabe, a real estate consultant in Deerfield Beach.
The decline in furniture sales had represented one of the first signals that the real estate market was sinking. Now, McCabe and others believe those sales are demonstrating a sustained recovery, with steady demand a sign of a market on the upswing.
At Kane's Furniture in Sarasota, there has been 20 percent growth year over year since 2009, said owner Edward Kalin.
The store outfits model homes for several builders in the Venice, Sarasota and Bradenton markets, Kalin said, and managers have recently seen a strong uptick in the number of homes being built.
"Model homes make up about 20 percent of our business," Kalin said. "We lease them for several months and build loyal relationships with the builders in our region."
Home sales in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties last year rose 19 percent, the fourth-highest mark on record.
That has pushed the median sales price for homes in the area up $21,800 during the past year, according to data from Realtors.
Following the Dow
HomeResource, an upscale furniture boutique in downtown Sarasota, saw the strongest year in its 18-year history in 2011, said owner Michael Bush.
Bush contends that there is a factor that affects furniture sales even more than the housing market.
"The stock market has affected our business more," Bush said. "Our clients came back quickly when the Dow went back up."
Recent stock market gains -- the Dow Jones Industrial Average topped 14,500 for the first time in its history in early March -- and a brightening job outlook also have given consumers the confidence to buy furniture, said Gary Jackson, an economist at Florida Gulf Coast University.
"Usually when the economy goes into recession, people are making less money so they pull back on durable goods," Jackson said.
"These new furniture stores are a good sign," he said.
"It's an indication people feel better about their position, and they're buying these items that were put on hold."
Housing rebound, furniture revival RECOVERY: Another sign of better times? New sofa, new table, new chairs
Home sales are, in some respects, hotter than ever: Supply is down, prices are edging up and builders are building again.

Hannah's velvet Minna
Added May 6, 2009
by hannnc
Newcastle, Austr...
I really liked making this, as i learnt alot! My first zipper, and first ruffling experience.
I also implemented all basting steps which really made a difference in the quality of the gathers and stitching.
The back is a little bit low, but perhaps I just need to try different undergarments.
EDIT: inspired by Burda Styles new "Re-style" shoots, I have taken better photos of this dress with different accessories! (The new ones i am wearing dark stockings and a belt.)
I added them here alongside the old ones.
Material Notes
Velvet – for some reason i thought the original was made in velvet, and then after i bought it, i read it was actually a knit material lol. Hoping velvet can still be a wearable fabric.

Minna pattern!

Your Minna looks amazing. I'm glad to see that someone has made one successfully in velvet. I think I've had it in the back of my head for months now because I saw some gorgeous silk crushed velvet last week and immediately bought enough for my own Minna.

but maybe you are not wearing the proper bra, because it shouldn't be rising up that high.. i read an article that said that A LOT of women aren't wearing the right bra and it stucked in my head :P
May 6, 2009, 04.07 AMby zickzack
This is nice! And I like the fabric you used, I would never have thought of using velvet for a dress. How does it feel on the skin? You always seem to choose dresses that suit you perfectly.

I like your version much more than the original one. Beautiful colour and perfect fit. Great work.

Every day our lodges work hard to help families make memories. From simple moments in the Cub Club between daddy and daughter, to annual family traditions—they see it all.
Working in the Corporate Office, I don't get to experience all of these stories first-hand, but I do get to hear about a lot of them. Some of our guest share their stories on Facebook, or they tweet us during their stay. They even take the time to submit their favorite memories to our blog. But my favorite way to hear about the stories is from our pack members at the lodge. The following story was emailed to our Great Wolf Lodge - Cincinnati/Mason pack members and I just had to share it.
My son, Stephen, returned to us from Army Ranger school in Georgia very late the evening of December 16th. The next day, I helped to launch a scheme that would "buy" him the time to drive to Kenwood Mall to purchase Brittney's (now his fiance) dream engagement ring. The next "project" became creating a special moment for the proposal. "Stevie" (as I lovingly refer to him) was a little undone because his younger sister, Meghan, just became engaged on December 21st—her fiance took her to New York City and surprised her with quite a lavish production. Stevie was determined to do something equally grand for Brittney (without stealing his sister's thunder). What became problematic was the amount of time he had left before he would have to return to Georgia. So, those circumstances, combined with a very anxious and curious Brittney, inspired him to secretly turn to me, again, for the next "scheme." Given that it was the early evening of Christmas Day, I wasn't completely optimistic that we could create the moment he desired—that is, until I placed the call to Great Wolf Lodge.
When Jennifer heard my explanation, she didn't hesitate to spring into action. (She, quite honestly, sounded as giddy as I did...it was fantastic!) Through just a couple of phone calls and her consultation with her leader, Jen, the plan came together that offered Stevie the chance to propose in your beautiful lobby, complete with snow—on cue! When they arrived at their suite, they were delighted by a special arrangement of chocolate-covered strawberries and a select celebratory beverage—details crafted by Jennifer and Jen—details that made the experience complete! In Stevie's and Brittney's words, "Everything was amazing...and awesome!"
The next day, I texted Stevie to see how things were going. He replied that they had checked out of their suite, but were "hanging out" in Great Wolf's lobby because it was such a "cool place...a great place to relax, talk and have some coffee." (I also think they were continuing to relish in the experience and didn't want it to end!)
As you might imagine, by now many family members have heard this story and plan to visit your resort—even the family that's local, including me! (It's funny...I had previously considered staying at Great Wolf, myself, thinking it would be a great spot to bring my husband, given that he's terminally ill and can no longer travel any sort of distance. It's that thought that inspired me to think of Great Wolf for Stevie and Brittney's special occasion.) As well, there will, most assuredly be events related to their upcoming wedding (not sure if it will be in 2013 or 2014, as of yet). We will be certain to locate guests and/or host additional gatherings at Great Wolf! And, let there be no doubt: our immediate and ever-lasting loyalty to Great Wolf Lodge was earned by Jennifer and Jen.
Thank you and have a wonderful Holiday!
Thank you to Susan Hampton for allowing me to share her story, and for letting us be a part of her family's big day.

The Rotary Club of Niagara County Central and Rotary District 7090 is now seeking candidates to participate in a Rotary program early next year in the Philippines.
David Seaman is president of Rotary District 7090 (which stretches from Brantford, Ontario to Jamestown), and its 72 clubs, including the Rotary Club of Niagara County Central. He said Rotary 7090 is offering a cultural and vocational exchange for young business and professional men and women with District 3800 in the Philippines from Feb. 15 to March 15, 2013.
Known as a group study exchange, the Rotary Foundation covers most of the costs involved, including airfare, accommodation, and meals for four team members and a Rotarian team leader. The host Philippine Rotarians and clubs plan the itinerary.
District Gov. Rick Sterne describes the benefits of the GSE program for the young people who participate and their employers. "The personal and professional growth from being part of a team, being immersed in a different culture, and seeing one's profession from a new perspective is remarkable."
The criteria for GSE candidates is any person in good health, age 25 to 40, who, for two years, has been fully employed and living in Rotary District 7090, is not a Rotarian or related to a Rotarian, can be free from personal and work responsibilities for a month, and can devote time to the team in the weeks leading up to the exchange.
The deadline for candidates to apply is Nov. 2. Applications can be obtained from the Rotary Club of Niagara County Central. Successful candidates will be called for an interview in November. If chosen, team members are responsible for passports, visas (if required), inoculations, gifts for their host families, and spending money for personal items.
For further information, contact GSE co-chairs Bob Gosselin (905-682-6740 or [email protected]) or Dan Smith (716-269-9900 or [email protected]), or visit www.rotary7090.org or www.rotary.org.

NASHVILLE, N.C. - Emergency officials in Nash County said a man was crushed to death outside his home by a large limb blown down during high winds from Hurricane Irene.
Nash County Emergency Management Director Brian Brantley said the man was walking outside his home in a rural area of the county around 10:20 a.m. Saturday when the limb struck him.
The outer bands of Irene were lashing the area, and a wind gust of 63 mph was reported at a nearby airport at about the same time.
Brantley says more details, including the man's name and age, will be released later.
The state Division of Emergency Management says an Onslow County man died from a heart attack while putting plywood over his windows.

The College Kid Whose Obama Photo Landed in The New Yorker
Posted by Holly Hughes on Friday June 15, 2012 | Media
Posted by Holly Hughes on Friday June 15, 2012 | Media
An article in the current issue of The New Yorker, about what President Obama might accomplish if elected to a second term, appears with a striking, double-page photo of the President standing alone and looking thoughtful. The photo was shot during the G8 summit last month by Luke Sharrett, a student at Western Kentucky University who has taken a break from his final semester in order to shoot on contract for The New York Times for 11 months.
Sent by The Times to cover the G8 summit at the Camp David presidential retreat, Sharrett was among roughly two dozen photographers who had assembled for a photo-op of the President greeting world leaders as they arrived. Sharrett recalls that the President had just walked out of Laurel Lodge, the Camp David conference center, and taken his spot on the edge of the sidewalk. "The first of the leaders hadn't arrived yet," he says. "It was an awkward, silent moment. It was kind of an in-between moment, and those are the pictures I enjoy photographing the most. My mentors [New York Times photographers] Stephen Crowley and Doug Mills encourage me to look for something different."
He had little time to compose his shot, he says. The Marines who oversee Camp David had set strict limits on where, and for how long, the press pool could shoot. "We had to put surgical bags, like surgeons wear on their feet, over our lenses as we went to and from the photo-ops," Sharrett explains. "They would not let us test, or check the frame until about two minutes before the photo-op, and then we could remove the baggies." The long, dark shadows in the image were cast by the lights the White House Press Office had set up to the left and right of the press pool. Sharrett liked how his shot came out, but The Times ran other shots he took during the summit, showing other world leaders.
Sharrett, who enrolled at Western Kentucky in 2007, interned in the White House Photo Office in 2008, and in 2009 interned at The New York Times' Washington bureau for what was supposed to be a three-month stint, but stretched to a year. Finally, he says, Michelle McNally, the paper's director of photography, told him he had to go back to school. He had almost completed three semesters when, last fall, McNally called again and asked him to work for the Times on contract from January of this year through the election—though he's still four courses shy of graduating. "I split my time between Capitol Hill, the White House, and I spent some time with [candidate Mitt] Romney; I covered the South Carolina primary. That was a blast."
During his Times internship he met Elissa Curtis, who is now a photo editor at The New Yorker, and she contacted him when his sports portfolio won honorable mention in the College Photographer of the Year competition last year. When she needed a photo of Obama looking pensive, she called Sharrett. He was on the road with the President at the time, so she asked Redux Pictures, which licenses images by The New York Times photographers, to send a selection. Of the image Curtis chose, she says, "It was one of those [images] where the more I looked at it, the more I liked it."
Sharrett (who addressed this reporter as "ma'am") says he is glad an image he had liked is getting a second life, and was "floored" when Curtis told him it would run as a spread. "I'm just really happy to be there, and to make pictures for a living."

Blown Away
I didn't realize how the rest of my home theater system outclassed my old sub by such a wide margin...I bought this badboy because I thought it seemed like a great value, and WOW! It's easy to set up, puts out incredibly-deep bass, and is wireless. Complete win....I couldn't be happier
Best Wireless Sub!
I've been looking for a wireless sub for a while that way I can place the sub wherever I want in the living room and not just next or near my receiver. After doing some research on Velodyne, I must say, I'm impressed! Velodyne has been specializing in creating subs for over 3 decades. The Wi-Q 12 has deep and loud bass considering the size to this thing. The whole setup process is super easy. I place the subwoofer to where I want it to be. The Auto EQ feature makes it simple to config the whole process because I just had and place the included microphone at the listening spot and hold the EQ button and the remote will make tones and you're pretty much set.

At Tiffany & Co., we believe it is our moral duty to sustain the natural environment. As a result, we are committed to not only minimizing our impacts as a business but using our voice and actions to positively affect communities and protect the planet.
As a leader in the luxury industry, we recognize the opportunity we have to influence culture and set standards for excellence—not only in fine jewelry and craftsmanship but also in what it means to be a responsible corporate citizen. We have implemented a vertical integration model that gives us a strong chain-of-custody, direct oversight of our manufacturing and a voice for improving global standards and conditions.
Whether it's protecting pristine landscapes like Yellowstone National Park and Bristol Bay from the damaging effects of mining or voicing support for the protection of human rights in Angola and Zimbabwe, we advocate for important issues and encourage others to join us in creating meaningful change. We understand that the long-term resilience of our planet and its natural resources, the well-being of people and the success of our business go hand-in-hand, which is why it is key for us to have a positive impact where we operate.
We believe fine craftsmanship starts with responsibly sourcing high-quality raw materials and continues through the creation of the final piece of jewelry. Unlike other jewelers, we source the majority of our rough diamonds and metals directly from mines we know and from recycled sources. We are devoted to better understanding the social, economic and environmental impacts of the mining and processing of precious materials so that we can create positive impacts along the supply chain, all the way from the mine to our customers.
At Tiffany & Co., we are committed to sourcing high-quality diamonds with complete integrity. We value traceability and the importance of knowing the origin of our diamonds from the moment they're culled from the earth. That's why, to start with, our diamonds are only sourced from countries that are full participants in the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. But we don't just stop there. We go above and beyond the Kimberley Process—with our own chain-of-custody controls and by advocating for stronger global standards—to ensure that human rights and the environment are protected. We also strongly believe in investing in the local communities in which we operate through local hiring, robust job training and fair wage practices at our cutting and polishing facilities around the world.
Our dedication to protect the natural world is at the heart of Tiffany culture. We aspire to leave behind a world that is as beautiful and abundant as the one we inherited. We have long spoken out about the need to protect certain special places from mining such as Yellowstone National Park and Bristol Bay, Alaska.

Foundation was established to provide a clear focus for our philanthropic efforts. The Foundation supports organizations dedicated to the stewardship of natural resources and awards grants to nonprofit organizations focused on responsible mining and coral and marine conservation.
Tiffany has a long legacy of operating as a responsible corporate citizen. Our sustainable practices are incorporated into the culture of our organization. With the appointment of a chief sustainability officer, Anisa Kamadoli Costa, and the establishment of a Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of the Board, our leadership has sent a clear message about the importance of corporate responsibility. Our management structure and internal processes enable continued improvement and leadership on key social and environmental issues and alignment with long-term business objectives.

ACDelco 10338537 GM Original Equipment Front Door Radio Speaker
Music will sound its best with ACDelco GM Original Equipment Car Speakers, and are GM-recommended replacements for your vehicle's original components. Speakers turn electrical energy into mechanical energy to move air, using a permanent magnet and an electromagnet. The electromagnet is energized when the radio or amplifier (if equipped) delivers current to the voice coil on the speaker. The voice coil will form a north and south pole that will cause the voice coil and the speaker cone to move in relation to the permanent magnet. The current delivered to the car speaker is rapidly changing alternating current (A/C). This causes the speaker cone to move in two directions, producing sound. These original equipment car speakers have been manufactured to fit your specific GM vehicle, providing the same performance, durability, and service life you expect from General Motors.Get the GM quality you know and trust with ACDelco GM Original Equipment Electronics. Stay with the parts brand your vehicle came with and get peace of mind that the fit, form, and function is up to the high standards and specifications of General Motors.

Hidden Places to Find Hints
If you find an advertisement of your ancestor's enterprise, be sure to check the small lettering for a Trademark or Patent number. It's amazing where we can find our next clue, historical information, or answer to a burning question. Heather Wilkinson Rojo, at Nutfield Genealogy, reminds us of a great blog posts that trademarks and patents can lead the researcher to more genealogical relevant data. The US Patent and Trademark Office allows for Patent searches as well as Trademark searches on pending and registered marks (TESS database).
In her blog post Peter Hoogerzeil's House in Beverly, Massachusetts, Rojo "used the patent number on the advertisement to search on the US Patent and Trademark Office website." The result: information on her inventor ancestor. Now that kind of find nets bragging rights! This blog was a short practical case study of how to use the US Patent database to further your genealogy research.
But not to be outdone, along comes Google Patents. - another great tool to search Patents and Trademarks while doing family research. And who's a better tester of this product than Heather Wilkinson Rojo? Rojo experimented and shared her experience with us in her article Perusing Google Patent.
The Nutfield posts Perusing Google Patent, dated 14 Jan 2011, is a coup de gras of patent research and genealogy efforts combined. It appears that "Deb Ruth's blog "Adventures in Genealogy" gave Google Patents' website link http://www.google.com/patents in her article Google Patents. Both of these blog post lets us know that Google Patents is a definite resource for the family researcher to learn more of their "tinkering" ancestors.
Next...my turn!

Browse our whisky database by the age of the whisky. The 'age' of a whisky is the time it spent in the 'cask' before being bottled. The longer a whisky remains in the cask, the more flavour it will acquire and the less spirit will remain.
The age of a whisk(e)y is determined by the length of time it has spent in the cask before being bottled. Once the whisk(e)y has been bottled the aging process stops. A whisk(e)y bottled at 10 years old will always be a 10 year old whisk(e)y even in a hundred years. By then the vintage of the whisk(e)y would still make it a rare and valuable item.
When dealing especially with blends, but also with single malts, some of the whiskies may be older than the stated age. However none of the whiskies will be younger.
