Groundbreaking set for bigger Youell's Oyster House
By Ryan Kneller and Of The Morning Call
September 12, 2013
Youell's Oyster House, which was destroyed by a fire in January, is set to rebuild at its previous Allentown location. Owner Christian Filipos will break ground at the site of his fire-ravaged seafood restaurant at 11 a.m. Thursday. The new facility, expected to be complete in early January, will be expanded approximately 20 percent, resulting in a new 150-person seating capacity and mezzanine level for private functions. The tradition of a rooftop apiary providing honey for signature recipes will be continued.
Restaurant review: Youell's Oyster House rises better than ever
By Susan Gottshall and Special to The Morning Call
May 14, 2014
Like the phoenix that rose from the ashes in ancient mythology, Youell's Oyster House reopened in Allentown's West End about two months ago. While the food is as good as ever and the menu remains the same, Youell's new home differs from the old like lobster differs from steak. The January 2013 fire that closed Youell's for a year and a half razed a restaurant with great seafood but unremarkable decor; its smallish, windowless dining rooms had a dark, tired air. Youell's reincarnation is bright and alive.

And also talked about her new movie "Letters to Juliet." Amanda told the late night host about her first job as a waitress in a retirement home, saying, "I liked it, I thought I could really do this forever. And I was in love with the chef." Seyfried told Leno that her favorite city was Charleston, South Carolina, where she consumed a copious amounts of oysters. Jay turns his nose up at the bivalves, saying they "do things to him." So she brings out a tray of oysters, setting them in front of Jay and they nosh the salty snacks together.
Youell's Oyster House offers honey-infused menu to celebrate restaurant's own bees
By Diane W. Stoneback, Of The Morning Call
May 6, 2014
On a cold morning three days after a Jan. 22, 2013 fire that destroyed Youell's Oyster House in West Allentown, Christian Filipos combed the charred remains of his restaurant, looking for anything that could be salvaged. "I spotted the beehives from my rooftop apiary," he says. "When the roof collapsed, they had fallen two and a half stories, landing in what had been one of our dining rooms. Some were still intact. " As he righted the charred hives, covered with ashes, ice and snow and dripping with honey, he was stunned to find two clusters of bees still alive.
Breweries experiment with oysters and stout
By Tim Blangger Of The Morning Call
February 16, 2002
Oysters and stout have a long history together, dating back to when both were cheap and plentiful. This seemingly unlikely marriage survives to this day. The tradition is especially rich in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Traditionally, stouts were brewed from September until June, coinciding nicely with the months when oyster production was at its peak. A Philadelphia-based craft brewer, Yards Brewing Co., is revisiting the stout-oysters connection with its Love Stout. While stout and oysters are a classic culinary paring, like wine and cheese, brewers now are experimenting with oysters in the brewing process, says Matthias Neidhart, a beer importer who distributes one of the best examples of the style, Swale's Whitstable Oyster Stout, from Kent, England.
An Ode To The Oyster Seafood Man Fred Parks' New Book Fishes Out Pearls Of Bivalve Lore
by DIANE STONEBACK, The Morning Call
August 14, 1985
If you've ever wanted a book filled with pearls of wisdom, Fred Parks'new one about oysters is for you. The book, 10 years in the making, is a salute to one of King Neptune's finest creations. Although Parks, a graduate of The Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, jokes and calls "The Celebrated Oysterhouse Cookbook" his "master's thesis," it's far more interesting than a scholarly treatise. And it's much more than a recipe book. Oyster lovers will treasure the book for the colorful history it contains, for the practical information it offers on handling, storing and cooking oysters and for the 30 oyster recipes from some of the nation's best known seafood restaurants.

Cheat sheet
By Kelly Federico
February 7, 2007
Aphrodisiacs are substances that enhance sexual potency while anaphrodisiacs limit the libido. Common aphrodisiacs are oysters, almonds and chocolate. Lettuce, cucumber and coriander have classically been considered anaphrodisiacs. Technically, aphrodisiacs could work in two ways: creating sexual desire in the mind and creating sexual desire in the body. Thinking a food is an aphrodisiac may put you in the mood, but there may be some chemistry behind it. Zinc, found in oysters, is know to boost testosterone, while chocolate contains phenylalanine, a chemical that raises endorphins.
Not Cheap At Any Price
The Morning Call
March 20, 1986
To the Editor: In reply to the March 13, article, "Don't eat raw shellfish," I would like to say that the key to the whole article was this statement: "The problem stems from shellfish gathered illegally in areas that are closed to harvesting because of pollution." The same old story of greed, someone trying to make a quick buck, and a person willing to buy the cheap product. When clams and oysters are high ($60 a bushel for good oysters, $80 for good clams) you will always have the unscrupulous character who will go to all lengths to make a quickdollar even at the expense of the public's health.

Allentown's Youell's Oyster House gets OK to rebuild after fire
By Emily Opilo, Of The Morning Call
June 11, 2013
Nearly six months after fire ravaged its historic building, Youell's Oyster House is set to rebuild in Allentown. The Zoning Hearing Board voted unanimously Monday to approve plans for a new restaurant on the site of the former Youell's in the 2200 block of Walnut Street with several conditions, including restricted hours. On Jan. 22, the landmark restaurant known for its seafood was destroyed by a fire that sent five firefighters to the hospital with minor injuries. Owner Christian Filipos asked the board for a variance or special exception to permit him to construct a two-story, 4,134-square-foot restaurant that would allow seating for 170 people.

Youell's Oyster House in Allentown will be missed
January 26, 2013
I was so sorry to hear about the Youell's Oyster House fire. My heart goes out to the injured firefighters and their families. I hope they all come through this OK. Youell's will be missed. The restaurant had great drinks and great happy hour appetizers; the bartender is top-notch. Hopefully the owners will consider rebuilding. I haven't been this devastated about losing a local hangout since the closing of Cossie Snyder's. Mike Toth Springfield Township

Been a long time: Phillies starter Chan Ho Park entered Saturday with just two career home runs and none since Sept. 29, 2000. He connected on an opposite-field shot off Marlins starter Chris Volstad in the third inning.
Longball city: The first six runs of the game all scored on home runs, four of them in all. Besides Park, Ryan Howard also homered for the Phillies, while the Marlins got back-to-back homers from Jorge Cantu and Dan Uggla in the fourth.
Booted: Uggla also committed his team-high third error of the season when he bobbled Shane Victorino's grounder in the sixth. That led to the Phillies' third run, an unearned tally against Volstad.
Pen men: With closer Matt Lindstrom getting a one-night rest following his 38-pitch nightmare on Friday night, three Marlins relievers (Leo Nunez, Renyel Pinto and Kiko Calero) tried and failed to close things out in the ninth.

The challenges facing young people in Scotland and the wider UK were discussed in Julia Belgutay's article highlighting the rise in the number of young claimants on unemployment benefits ("Benefits claimants on the rise", 24 August).
The recent report by training provider Ambitious Minds found that six of the 10 areas with the largest increases in claimant count since 2007 were in Scotland.
The employment prospects of our young people are one of the most crucial issues facing society. Not only does our future prosperity rely on us having a highly skilled workforce to compete abroad, but long periods of unemployment have a damaging impact on youngsters and their ambitions. We cannot risk another "lost generation".
The Scottish government's Opportunities for All scheme, launched in April, committed to providing each 16- to 19-year-old with a place in education or training. This ambitious and crucial scheme will rely heavily on colleges' involvement and delivery.
There are currently 120,000 young people aged 16-24 studying at a college in Scotland, with another 55,000 under-16s doing so via partnerships with schools. The college sector, which delivers higher and further education and modern apprenticeships, is increasingly the supplier of key skills to the industries that will drive Scotland's economy into the future.
As colleges across Scotland continue to regionalise, merge and form new institutions, our partnerships with employers and industries will continue to strengthen, ensuring that young people are offered every opportunity in training and employment.
The process of regionalisation will be extremely challenging for colleges, but will also present opportunities for the learners we serve, including young people. Regional structures will have even greater links with employers and serve as a central point for a region's economic growth.
Young people in Scotland must be encouraged to take advantage of Opportunities for All, and colleges must be supported so that we can continue to deliver training and education for them. To invest in young people's futures we must invest confidence and funding into colleges, which have been delivering opportunities and skills for decades.
John Henderson, chief executive, Scotland's Colleges.

Kim is just another victim of recurring dreams. A hot guy, whose face she never sees, touches her in ways no man has before. Problem?
Actually, there's a couple. For one, there never seems to be actual intercourse, so she's always left wanting more no matter what happens. Secondly, she's never seen his face. And lastly, and this may not be so much of a problem for you or me as much as it is for Kim, but the guy in her dreams keeps sprouting black fur.
Just another day in Kim's plain, boring life, she goes to work at the law firm that can't seem to take her seriously. There, behold, Erik Blackwell emerges as their newest client. Sexy, black hair, golden eyed, Erik. With the voice that matches her fantasy man.
Cool air bathed him, carrying away some of his tension. He closed his eyes to make most of the feeling. It was such relief after the closeness of the lift. He gave a brief glance at Kim and then paced along the length of the roof. The whole of London was laid out before him, shimmering in the heat. The sun beat down, warming his back as he walked. He didn't know why he'd asked for a place to smoke.
He didn't smoke.
For twenty-seven years, Erik has been dreaming of his mate, the entirety of Kim's life, while resisting all other women as he waited to find her. A panther shifter, this boy is obsessed with the sensual color black, and appears to slip into heaven while basking in the sun. He's a romantic though. No rushing anything sexual here.
With just enough boyishness and desperation that I love in a guy, Erik was wonderful! And the club scene was H.O.T.

Blogging every day is hard! I'm TRYING! I think it's the fact that after the boys go to bed and I have an hour and a half before I usually turn in for the night... and I should honestly probably go to bed even earlier than that to get a good night's sleep!
Yesterday was a rough day. Rob's company is making some changes which impact our finances and basically just make that much more difficult in these troubled times! I won't carry on about that though. The point is, it was a rough day. And I was grouchy. I've still been grouchy today. But I just uploaded the pictures I took yesterday and found this gem. My boys. Could I love them any more? Even on the worst day, these two just make me smile. I look at this picture and I think about how less than a year ago, I was worried taht these two would never be friends. More than two years after Brayden joined our family... Jack was still not at all interested in the big brother gig. My heart was just broken about it. A little more than six months ago they started sharing a room and an amazing friendship blossomed from there. Brayden has always adored Jack, and I can honestly say now that Jack adores him too! They are just the cutest little BFFs. I sit and watch them and think about how lucky they are to have each other, constant playmates, and hopefully friends for life.
And today, we went to the library. I love library day. We never used to go to the library. I'm not sure what was wrong with us! I may never buy another book again. Okay that's probably not completely true but I do love the library. So do Jack and Brayden. The new selection of books keeps them entertained for weeks. We come home with TONS of books. And I LOVE that they love to read. I hope it's a passion they never lose.

It is well known that in biology and the life sciences in general there are numerous instances of complex behaviour arising from apparently deterministic processes. One is familiar with the 'fractal' nature of the shapes of leaves and snowflakes. Such shapes may be described as the outcome of simple deterministic evolutionary dynamics. In another area the stochastic or chaotic response of stimulated cardiac nerve cells is well known and can be modelled by nonlinear deterministic systems of ordinary differential or difference equations. In most examples describing complex behaviour in biological systems the underlying models are either ordinary differential or difference equations leading to an analysis of temporal behaviour and its dependence on certain parameter values such as growth rates, generation times or reaction constants. In this paper we explore both the temporal and spatial nature of complex phenomena in biological systems. The examples involve partial differential or partial difference equations and are drawn from models of population genetics, mollusc shell patterning and excitable systems. In each situation we demonstrate aspects of complexity and show that non-integrable hamiltonian dynamical systems play a crucial role. This brings into the realms of biology such concepts as structural stability and Kolmogorov─Arnold─Moser (KAM) theory, which lie at the heart of current developments in the theory of dynamical systems.

Macmillan Cancer Support's Hamilton fundraising group hosted their annual coffee morning and raised over £900.
Joan McCallum, along with the rest of the team, organised their World's Biggest Coffee Morning event at Cadzow Parish Church.
And dozens of people popped in to enjoy tea, coffee and cake and raise money for the cancer charity.
HAMILTON ADVERTISER: All the top news as it happens
The team pushed their fundraising limits this year and even had lots of Macmillan Cancer Support merchandise and Christmas cards on sale to help raise funds.
As ever, this year's coffee morning received huge support from the community and a tremendous £922 was raised during the two hours – beating last year's sum of £886.
The Hamilton Fundraising Group were established in 1988 and have raised over £550,000 since then.

Happy 1st Birthday Alyssa!!
Alyssa's one year old birthday cake.
Grandma, Grandpa, Kevin, Arlen, Kira, Alyssa and I
celebrated Alyssa and Uncle Arlen's birthday at
Grandma and Grandpa Beck's house.
I thought Alyssa was going to have cake
everywhere. ALyssa really only had cake on
a fork.
It was so fun visit with my family for Alyssa's
birthday. I sure enjoy doing things with my family.
They are always so kind and thoughtful.
Nate had to fly to Arkansas on a business trip the
day of Alyssa's birthday so he was not home to
celebrate with our family.

Mr Ahmadinejad said that all Opec countries had showed interest in converting their cash reserves into other currencies.
"They [the US] get our oil and give us a worthless piece of paper," he told reporters.
But Saudi officials were against including any such language in the declaration. One is reported to have warned that it could add to the pressure on the dollar.
However, in the communique Opec did make a reference to the debate, by committing itself to studying "ways and means of enhancing financial co-operation". more
Saudis Warn Of Dollar Collapse
The dollar could collapse if Opec officially admits considering changing the pricing of oil into alternative currencies such as the euro, the Saudi Arabian foreign minister has warned.
Prince Saud Al-Faisal was overheard ruling out a proposal from Iran and Venezuela to discuss pricing crude in a private meeting at the oil cartel's conference.
In an embarrassing blunder at the meeting in Riyadh, ministers' microphones were not cut off during a key closed meeting, and Prince Al-Faisal was heard saying: "My feeling is that the mere mention that the Opec countries are studying the issue of the dollar is itself going to have an impact that endangers the interests of the countries. "There will be journalists who will seize on this point and we don't want the dollar to collapse instead of doing something good for Opec."
After around 40 minutes press officials cut off the feed, which had been accidentally broadcast to the press room.more

Good Monday!
I would love to start this week off with this wonderful collection of vintage pictures of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, and Tanzania (especially in light of yesterday's excitement). Many of us have parents or grandparents with a wonderful collection of photographs documenting their early years. Whenever I go to my mom's house, I love digging through her early pictures. One of my favorites is a shot of my sister screaming her little 6-year old head off at the beach in Buchanan, Liberia. She is sporting a little band-aid on her forehead and my mom is in this hot red swimsuit, hair flying everywhere, trying to comfort her. These pictures remind me of how lucky she was to be able to escape Liberia during a time of war with such memories safely tucked away. They are also a wonderful window into the Liberia (and the Germany) of both her youth.
This is one of the reasons why these pictures by Paul Jackson of Art Nahpro, are so wonderful. In addition to showing pictures of his parents during their travels in East Africa during the late 1940s and early 1950s, his mother also had these amazing images gathered from trips to Ethiopia and Eritrea. While these subjects probably never saw the print of these images nor had to ability to save and share them with others, they are nonetheless a snapshot of someone's mother, sister, wife, brother, father, or son, immortalized for us to forever admire.
Definitely check out more of Jackson's collection here and stay tuned for a new photography series.
So, speaking of vintage pictures, what are some of your favorites from your family's collection?

I recently attended "Faith in 3D," a youth conference held at Walt Disney World in Florida. The theme "Imagine…Create…Animate" challenged participants to imagine a better world. Youth and adults were invited to reflect on the question: "What would you do if anything was possible?"
Children have vivid imaginations. I remember my own children creating forts out of sofa cushions, card tables, and sheets. I have pictures of them dressed as pirates, cowboys and space rangers. Their watercolors, mosaics, and pottery are still on display in our home.

Good morning! My friend from high school is coming into town tomorrow to visit so I really want to write a lot today. I realized that in all my posts, I never mentioned an important thing… I was and still am NOT interested in sugaring with married guys. I actually put a note in my SA's profile that stated:
Please note, if you are married- I will not respond. I don't condone cheating in any way even if its just a date. 🙂
Obviously, married guys still messaged me and I'm sure married guys lie and say they're not married but up to this point in my timeline I believed all my POT's were unmarried or divorced. This is irrelevant to this particular post, but I wanted to mention it anyway.
So after having my first Salt Daddy meetup (see previous post) I was eagerly waiting for OG to text me about planning our 2nd date. I figured he would be back in Aspen right now but he wasn't responding to my text and I'm not one to triple text someone. I didn't want to come off as desperate… However, one of my other long time POT's was available to meet for lunch. I started actually texting him around the same time as OG, so I felt comfortable in meeting him. Let's call him Mr. Boring… I feel bad for naming him this but I thought of it the other day and it just stuck. Mr. Boring was the oldest of my POTs, I wasn't positive on his age but I was estimating him to be around late 50s or early 60s. I think he told me 59 but I'm not positive. Mr. Boring almost called it quits with me because we had been talking so long but our schedules never worked out to meet. I'll be honest, nothing about Mr. Boring's personality stood out to me (hence the name). He was very straight to the point in what he was looking for and honestly it was the simplicity and financial talk that kept me texting him. His original message to me on SA's was this:
Afternoon to you…. Enjoyed reading your profile and it seems we would have more than a few things in common from the outset. I am looking for a very authentic and sincere young woman that is focused on her long term success and education and is willing to do what it takes to be a successful citizen, give back to society and take responsibility for their own success. I am very able and willing to help a very unique and special young woman with their entire living costs, school costs or whatever it takes to become successful long term if we have a high quality authentic relationship on a regular basis. No games. If you have the confidence to make this happen let me know and I would like to dialogue further with you to see what our compatibility would be together and what makes you a unique young woman. You would have to enjoy being with a very strong, driven, alpha male type of man! Let me know.
Mr. Boring wasn't a big texter either and we talked on the phone a few days before meeting. He was an experienced SD, having 3 prior arrangements before. All lasting multiple years before the girls either moved away for careers or decided to pursue relationships with men their own age. He supported them through their entire school and living costs and he was very clear he would do so with me. His expectations? Two weekends a month. Once we went on a couple dates, we would have a trial "weekend" together in his house in Scottsdale where he would plan the activities, which he said would probably be: going to nice restaurants, going to a play or symphony, observatory, and shopping. I would also spend the night with him in his home and I wasn't dumb to understand what this meant either. But he wasn't looking to rush into anything, and he was very clear that he wanted to take it slow and go on a couple dates before we agreed to a weekend. We decided to meet for lunch and he picked out the restaurant, a fancy one in Scottsdale that I've never been to before. I was hungry and looked at the menu online before heading out.
Mr. Boring was there at a table waiting for me, dressed in nice slacks and a button down. He looked very professional, but old… I dressed up a little too with a fancier blouse and slacks. We shook hands and I sat down. I can't even remember our whole conversation because it wasn't that interesting. We talked about his job, which was a Medical Consultant for Pathology (diagnosis), and he was a M.D obviously. He was divorced for nearly 15 years and has been a SD since. He only has one relationship at a time (he expected me to do the same) and he assured me his prior SB's all have successful lives now due to him supporting them through their education. He says they all still call him every now and then for advise and such. He was very proud of his SD experience and wasn't shy to tell me that he even bought one of them a car, paid for four years tuition, rent, and gave them a hefty budget on food and clothes. He never mentioned an exact dollar sign though. He asked me how much I pay for rent and I told him $800, and he said he was surprised it was so low. I immediately regretted telling him (even though $800 is expensive to me) but I quickly added, "but with utilities, car payments, debt, etc- it's more"…. He said of course and that if we agreed to an arrangement later on, we would work out a monthly allowance based on my financial needs. He ordered a margarita and I stuck to water. We shared a hummus garlic vegetable platter to eat. He was very curious to my future plans and I told him I was in limbo between moving to Portland or staying for graduate school. He said if I moved to Portland it wouldn't be an issue, because he has a home in Seattle so he's up that way all the time. He also mentioned after the trial "weekend" the majority of our two weekends a month together would be visiting different cities. He enjoyed traveling and we would leave Friday after work or class and stay Friday and Saturday night and come back Sunday. He asked which cities I've wanted to visit and I mentioned I loved New Orleans. He agreed and then talked about a luxurious weekend get away in the French Quarter that we could have.
So, Mr. Boring wasn't bad, but in the back of my mind, I knew the only reason I wanted to continue was because of the money. He kept asking me if I had any questions for him, and I honestly didn't (or at least that I didn't want to ask him then). It seemed to annoy him that I didn't have any questions but he laid out everything from how our arrangement would work, what he enjoyed doing, his life and career story, etc. I obviously was curious about when and how much money I could get and obviously I was curious about the intimacy… But both were inappropriate to ask at the time. We shook hands and said goodbye. He was leaving for a business trip to Seattle so we planned on dinner the following week.
I left lunch a little deflated. OG really set the bar high and I wish he texted me back. I felt a little bratty but I was annoyed that Mr. Boring didn't give me any money for our date like OG did. A lot of the forums suggested that giving money on the first date was the norm, and if Mr. Boring was all big money talk like he mentioned, shouldn't he have given me some money to let me know he was serious? I didn't want to be taken advantage of financially because I was a sugar pup. I decided that once we worked out the budget I would tell him another POT offered me a grand a week so that's what I expected. It felt dirty and wrong to negotiate. The poor man seemed like he just wanted company to dinners and such and here I was so consumed with the allowance amount. At least I had a week before I saw him again and it gave me more time to think.
Hope you all enjoyed the story with Mr. Boring! My next post is by far my most crazy and I'm a little scared to write about it but that means I probably need to get it off my chest.

He cheerfully did what I had asked and even gave me a big smile and wave as he got closer to the camera.
When he stopped behind my car, I took a closer look at all the "stuff" on his bike. "You aren't local, are you?" "No", he replied. "Where have you come from?" "San Diego." "California?"
Wow, that sure piqued my curiosity!
His bike was a recumbent but different from others that I had seen. Instead of a smaller wheel in front, both tires were the same size. "It requires fewer supplies for fixing flat tires and broken spokes when one size fits all," Mark explained.
Mark Doumas and his wife Sandy live in Tucson, AZ. He has a sister living in San Diego and one in Newport News, VA. The couple decided to tour across the United States, starting at the Pacific Ocean and ending at the Atlantic. Their website title Sea2Sea,Sister2Sister pretty well summarizes what they had set out to do.
Mark also added another connection to his passage through our city. His sister Jennifer, the one in California, was born in Radford! Their dad was a student at V.P.I., and the family was living in Blacksburg.
Mark mentioned that he was very favorably impressed with Radford's network of bike trails so I told him about Pathways for Radford and their efforts and hard work in building and maintaining those bike-ways.
The couple had driven their car with bikes on racks from their home in Tucson to San Diego where they visited with family, dipped the back tires of their bikes in the Pacific and set out across the country. When they got to St. Louis, Sandy decided that she was tired of biking and that she would rather visit with her family there. Mark would continue on by himself, writing in an online journal that they had started at the beginning of their trip, and Sandy would be able to follow his progress.
Sandy later flew back to Tucson, drove back to the mid-west to pick up her bike that she had left with family, and continued on to meet up with Mark on the Blue Ridge Parkway. She biked with him and they enjoyed the fall scenery in that area. She then drove the car to Newport News and then finished biking to the Atlantic with Mark. One of the last journal photos shows his front tire in the Atlantic Ocean on November 18 and smiles on all faces as they were joined by family on the beach.
Mark posted one of the photos of his Wildwood ride in his journal. You can see it by clicking this link and scrolling down to the 4th photo. Be sure to read his comment above the picture:
I had the excitement of sharing a bicycle tour across our great country as a result of a simple visit to Wildwood Park. What a great place!

Recently our PIU IT Coordinator, Mary Lou Carruthers, purchased and moved into her new home on Guam. The whole PIU family is very happy for her and we gathered at her home, with our friends from the Lutheran Church of Guam, last Sunday to celebrate with her and fellowship in a "house blessing" for her. I had not ever been part of a formal house blessing until I came to Guam. PIU graduate and current seminary student Rommel Carino led the service that included prayers of blessing and applicable scriptures read throughout the house. We are thankful that God has blessed Mary Lou with a house that meets her needs and is dedicated to the service of God's kingdom.
We started outside in the carport and then Samantha did a prayer of blessing that opened the door and invited everyone inside.
We prayed through every room of the house and then enjoyed fellowship around the table

Steamboat Springs, Colorado (PRWEB) September 25, 2013
For the month of September, Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties in Steamboat Springs has dedicated 5% of agent's net commission to either the Challenge Fund or the Routt County Humane Society, calling the give "Giving Back to the Boat".
As part of the Distinctive Angels Program, a program designed to assist various non-profits around Steamboat Springs, the James Team of Distinctive Properties has gone beyond the general appeal to help and donated even more of the team's time and paycheck to local charity programs.
The Challenge Fund is a general education fund to develop new 21st Century and programs in the local schools. The Challenge Fund is a large scale, modern fundraiser designed to replace the bake sales and wrapping paper sales of the past.
In addition the the Challenge Fund, the September challenge will also benefit the local Routt County Humane Society by providing funds for food, shelters and homes for numerous unwanted pets in the Yampa Valley.
As a part of the Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties real estate brokerage, the James Team and the mission to "Give Back to the Boat" has provided a wealth of assistance and education stemming from the need to create community and strength within Steamboat Springs. The James Team director, John James, prefers to give the 5% to the two charities mentioned but says, " we would gladly donate that 5% to the charity of their choice instead. Either way, the community wins."

I was speaking to a group the other day and I was talking about my books and showing the Buddies off, (They love to go to events, Frosty Poppy and Archie love to be hugged.) When I started to talk about why I wrote "Polar Bears Are Left Handed". The idea for the book was very simple and it is a simple book about opposites, polar opposites.
When I was growing up I loved my Dad, he was my hero, my knight in shinning armor. I wanted to be just like him. I wanted to write like him, have my own business like him, the whole nine. My Dad was left handed.
When I started school I was writing fairly well with my left hand. It wasn't better or worse than my right handed writing. The teachers said I had to write with my right hand. So they set about teaching me to be right handed, under protest. I really wanted to write left handed.
As I got a bit further along in my studiesI got very confused as to which hand was which. I could not tell my left from my right and it continued to get worse. I am not sure if my brain could not process the switch or just what happened. As an adult I still suffer from the problem, so I wear a watch. I have a white mark on my arm from my watch not allowing the sun to tan my wrist. So I can get up in the morning and put on my watch.At the time it was thought best to switch kids to using their right hand. It is a right handed world.
I was reading an article that said researchers studying Polar Bears discovered that they primarily used their left paw (Hand) and they found this to be a strange anomaly as even most animals were right handed. The title of the article was Polar Bears are Left Handed Who Knew and I thought what a great idea for a book to teach kids opposites.
I had to make sure when I got the drawings done that Frosty T. Polar Bear truly had his left paw in the air. Funny how little things can effect your life and how they can also become the inspiration too.
So to all of my friends that are left handed, I know some things are difficult in the right handed world, but good for you to be unique. Use it to inspire you and let me know your thoughts.

One year, my oldest son was a Ninja and he enjoyed all the accessories that completed the look. One small problem though, it was raining, not just sprinkling...flat out raining. I remember my husband giving my son an umbrella, and my usually jovial happy-go-lucky son was crushed, clearly upset with the prospect of carrying an umbrella with his cool looking ninja sword. What he said, will forever go down in the history books as unarguably the right thing to say, when learning there is no way out of carrying that umbrella...."Dad, Ninjas don't carry umbrellas!" From that moment on, when I think of Halloween, I think of umbrella toting ninjas.
Last year, my number one goal was to get the kids fed before they went out in search of sugar loot. However, I was a little under the weather with that pesky flu, the H1N1. So you can imagine how heartbroken I was that I could not enjoy my annual intake of mini Baby Ruth bars, gory scary movies and the inevitable sweet crash of the overindulgence of candy, then perfect silence as my youngest slept off his sugar buzz. I was sick, and certainly not what I envisioned my perfect Halloween to be.
I am going to share my pizza dough recipe again, because it is a fool-proof pizza dough, it works every time(taking into consideration, when the humidity drops the flour gets lighter, so less flour is needed in winter, than in the summer). What I mean to say is, if the dough is sticky add a wee more flour until it pulls away from the mixing bowl, no longer tacky on the fingers and is elastic. You can add spices during this process if you would like, adding garlic and dried basil gives your dough that much more character. The possibilities are endless. Either way, Have a Happy Halloween and if you are parents of wee ones, I hope the evil trickster Senor Sugarpants does not linger to long on your doorstep. ;)
2 cups King Arthur All Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon Fleischmann's Dry Active Yeast
1/2 tsp salt

In a mixing bowl fashioned with a dough hook, add all the dry ingredients, including the yeast. Combine the warm water and olive oil and pour into mixing bowl. Turn the machine on low and mix until the dough pulls cleanly from the sides. At this point you might have to add more flour, just add a little at a time, like 1 or 2 tbs at a time. When the dough is elastic and no longer is sticky to the touch, oil the same bowl that you mixed the dough in, cover with a towel and set in a warm place, until doubled in size. Punch down and your ready for cheese and your favorite toppings. Good hot oven is the key to getting a good rise and browning, anything over 400F is a good starting point.

NEW BRITAIN — The leader of the United Church of Christ in Connecticut bade farewell Friday evening, leaving to a successor the delicate job of guiding the church through a major reorganization.
In an address to more than 400 delegates from 268 congregations, the Rev. Donald Hinze said the ``one concern in my heart'' was the temptation of the spiritual heirs of the Pilgrims to ``go it alone.''

A friend shared this on Facebook today, and I thought it was worth reposting :) It's a great reminder!
"If no one is accusing you of being too legalistic, then you probably aren't living a holy life. If no one is accusing you of being a 'bleeding heart', then you probably aren't loving enough. If no one is accusing you of being too dogmatic, then you probably aren't standing for the truth. If no one is accusing you or criticizing you, then you probably aren't doing anything significant." - Israel Wayne

I'm glad you put this...I just got back from orchestra (which is about the only time I'm not around other believers:) and there I get this feeling of definitely NOT fitting in. I know that some poeple talk about me behind my back...which doesn't bother me a whole lot, but still...this was a great encouragement and reminder! Thanks!

Well, Matt and I have been praying and taking steps in adding to our current family of 2. And before my parents have a heart attack, by 3, I mean adding a dog.
We have both fallen head over heels for border collies. Matt loves the idea of endless hours of frisbee and just wanna smooch their faces. Just kidding, well not really. They are the most intelligent dogs that love to work and please. What a dream to train a dog to ring a bell when it needs to go outside!
Check these little buddies out...
So God, what do you think? Does he have a place in our home?

Washington: Climate change belongs to the same list of challenges as terrorism and poverty that "respect no borders", US Secretary of State John Kerry said as he sought global cooperation and urgent action on the growing menace.
"Terrorism, extremism, epidemics, poverty, nuclear proliferation, all challenges that respect no borders, climate change belongs on that very same list. It is, indeed, one of the biggest threats facing our planet today," Kerry said in a major foreign policy speech on climate change at the Atlantic Council, a US think-tank.
"Even top military personnel have designated it as a security threat to not just the United States but the world. No one who has truly considered the science, no one who has truly listened objectively to our national security experts, could reach a different conclusion," Kerry said.
Kerry's remarks came a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the issue of climate change in Seychelles and said it "poses a serious threat as terrorism".
In his speech, Kerry said this is a critical year and the challenges posed by climate change requires global cooperation and urgent action.
"Make no mistake, this is a critical year. And that is why this Road to Paris series is so important. The science tells us we still have a window of time to prevent the worst impacts of climate change, but that window is closing quickly," he said.
"We're already in a mode where we're looking at mitigation, not just prevention.
"In December, the world will come together at the UN Climate Conference in Paris, and we will see whether or not we can muster the collective political will to reach an ambitious, comprehensive agreement," he said.
Kerry also said India has joined the climate change challenge as he praised Indian efforts to combat the issue.
"During President Obama's trip to New Delhi early this year, the President affirmed its far-reaching solar energy target, and our two nations agreed on a number of climate and clean energy initiatives. We also committed to working closely together to achieve a successful global agreement in Paris. So India is joined in that challenge," he said.
The State Department later said India and US are working together to address the challenge posed by climate change.
"We work very closely with the Government of India on this issue through the US-India Joint Working Group on Combatting Climate Change. President Obama and Prime Minister Modi expanded the agenda of this working group during their meeting in January," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Jen Psaki told reporters.
"Specific initiatives with India include cooperation on clean energy, a Department of Energy-led initiative on smart cities, expansion of our existing cooperation. We look forward to continuing to build on these efforts, but obviously we've made great progress in recent months with India," she said.

That's Just Crazy Talk
Man, somebody was on edge today. George supposed that it was weirder that he wasn't on edge, but at the same time, he was having trouble sympathizing with the fellow holding a knife on him. Whatever shit this kid had gone through to make him like this was probably incomparable to what he himself had seen. The fact that he was pulling a knife on a guy who had just casually greeted him wasn't gaining him any points either. Perhaps it was just that George was made of sterner stuff, and this kid had caved under the pressure, and THAT was what had turned him into a gibbering idiot. It seemed like the most logical conclusion.
"Listen kid, I'm gonna have to ask you to put away that knife," he said. "Not that I think you'd beat me in a fight, but I'm not comfortable talking to someone who's got a weapon out." To accentuate the point, George set the chair down sideways on the ground. "As for why I'm here...eh, just passing through. And the sooner you calm down and stop acting like an idiot, the sooner I can leave."
Turning slightly, George noticed that more people were coming up the path. He'd seen them before, back in the residential area, but he'd walked on by. Were they following him specifically, or was this just a strange coincidence? Either way, this wasn't likely to result in anything good, especially if Remy was scared enough of just him. Things could get ugly really quickly. And so, while George didn't immediately pick his gun up, he did step to the side so that he could pick up his chair at a moment's notice. He wasn't going to start attacking folks just for seeming suspicious, unlike some people, but he wasn't going to be stupid either.

Heirinji Temple, Niiza, Saitama Prefecture 平林寺, 新座, 埼玉県
by Johannes Schonherr
Driving through the flatlands of southern Saitama Prefecture, just north of the Tokyo city line, means driving from stop light to stop light through a seemingly endless wasteland of industrial warehouses, shopping malls and cookie-cutter residential buildings.
In older times, this area was known as the Musashino Plain, it was sparsely populated and much of it was covered with dense forest that mixed both broadleaf trees and conifers, making for colorful contrasts in the late days of autumn. Very few areas of those old forests have been preserved to this day.
One such still surviving old forest area belongs to the Heirinji Temple in Niiza. The temple buildings themselves are rather modest and close to the entrance. Behind them, the forest stretches out, dotted with ancient cemeteries here and there. On quiet days, it's a great pleasure to just walk through those woods.
Active Zen Temple
Sanmon Gate, the actual gate to the temple grounds, houses two fierce Nio guardian gods. They stare angrily down at the visitors and make motions that clearly express: "Don't enter here." This message is only partly directed at mythical evil spirits.
Modern signs spelling out "Don't enter!" abound around the temple buildings. There is no big Buddha statue on display here. There is no central building to visit. There is hardly a corner for believers to pray in. Almost all the temple buildings are off-limits to the casual visitor.
That's because this is a still very active Zen Buddhist temple. Heirinji Temple belongs to a strict sect of the Myoshinji branch of Rinzai Zen.
No matter how many tourists might walk through the public parts of the temple in the plum blossom and the autumn foliage season, the monks and their students will stay behind closed doors and follow their strict daily regimen away from the prying tourist cameras.
Visiting on a regular day, you encounter plenty of gardeners and other staff but you will rarely catch a glimpse of the monks. They live in their own world right beyond those "Don't enter" signs. Sometimes you can faintly hear them chant.
A faded sign on a public path spells out the monks' daily routine:
- Wake-up call at 3am
- Prayer for one hour
- Breakfast at 4am (okayu rice soup)
- Meditation and koan philosophical dialogues from 4.30am to 7am
- Working / Gardening / Cleaning till 11am
- Lunch at 11am (boiled barley and rice)
- More work till 5pm
- Dinner at 5pm (boiled barley and rice)
- Meditation from 6pm on
- Lights are turned off at 10pm
A tough life for sure but probably a fulfilling one for those inclined to develop a really deep understanding of Buddhist teachings in the long term.
History of Heirinji Temple
Heirinji Temple was originally founded in 1375 in what is now Iwatsuki city, about 40 kilometers to the northeast of its current location. The founder was a powerful monk named Sekishitsu Zenkyu who also presided over grand temples in Fukuoka, Oita, Kyoto and Kamakura.
The original temple was burned down by the army of Hideyoshi Toyotomi in the civil war that eventually led to the unification of Japan (1573-1591). After Ieyasu Tokugawa completed this union, he ordered the original Heirinji Temple to be rebuilt. The restored temple, still in Iwatsuki, was erected in 1603.
In 1663, on the order of Nobutsuna Matsudaira, the lord of Kawagoe Castle in present-day Kawagoe, Heirinji Temple was moved from Iwatsuki to its current location.
The Matsudaira clan was closely related to the reigning Tokugawa shoguns. In fact, the Tokugawa clan emerged from a branch of the Matsudaira. Thus, the Matsudaira were the second-most powerful clan in Japan in Edo times (1603-1868).
The graveyards you will encounter in the forests of Heirinji Temple enshrine the ancestors and descendants of the local branches of the Matsudaira family.
Heirinji Seasons
While a stroll through the woods of Heirinji Temple is pleasant throughout the year, there are two seasons the temple is famous for.
In February, you can catch the full beauty of the blossoming Japanese plums known as ume, one of the first trees in the year to bloom. Especially the area around the old Matsudaira graves has many ume trees - and they contrast wonderfully with the still blossoming winter camellia (sazanka).
From November to mid-December, the leaves of the many Japanese maples (momiji) growing on the temple grounds turn bright red. The gingko trees turn bright yellow while the conifers stay green as always. The result is a riot of vivid colors against a background of neatly maintained historic temple buildings.
The autumn color season is also the time when Heirinji gets very crowded with masses of camera-toting visitors. Arriving right at the opening time of the temple grounds at 9am might be a good idea if you want to have a serene, quiet walk, enjoying the beauty of the autumn leaves.
If you feel hungry after your temple exploration / forest walk, you might want to head over to the Takeyama udon noodle restaurant. It's about a 300 meter walk along the strictly fenced-in perimeter of the temple forest towards central Niiza. Cross the busy street and you will be rewarded with really good udon noodles as well as a variety of other local Japanese dishes.

Another sunny day was too good an opportunity to waste so once the morning jobs were done we drove to Mortehoe to repeat the walk down towards Rockham Bay and then around Morte Point.
As I've already shown my favourite views along this walk I thought that I'd post some different aspects of our route. Here we've just left the car park and are heading past all the holiday cottages, along the road that leads out to a couple of camp sites and finally Bull Point lighthouse.
This is where we turn right down an alley opposite the original village spring set in a wall.
Which leads us out to the coast with its numerous paths through bracken and gorse. In the UK we are lucky that most of the country's coast is owned and managed by the National Trust which maintains the pathways for everyone to use free of charge.
The tide was out but there were still safe lagoon-like waters at Rockham Bay which is popular with families staying at the camp sites.
As it is now the summer holidays not only were the paths busier but there were plenty of tourist boats out on the water. Here we have people watching the seals watching the people watching the seals. (There were about 6 seals in the usual place today.)
As ever we stopped for coffee and cake at our regular bench. Because the rayburn is still on a go slow (the engineer is coming tomorrow) I haven't been able to do any baking but yesterday I saw I had written down the ingredients for a microwave cake, I think it might have been a 'mug' recipe. I used a small square silicone cake 'tin' and made a tasty chocolate slice cake in 3 minutes. A good recipe to know for emergencies.
We ended out walk back at the village coming down the hill by the church.
At home while Peter went to town to collect our prescriptions (they are very strict and won't release them a day early) I gave the fridge a thorough clean out. It wasn't particularly messy but for once it was almost empty which made it easier to take out all the shelves for washing. Later while I sat outside with my book and some tea Peter manfully cut all the lawns as the weather is due to break tomorrow.

I don't know how long I wandered.
There comes a time, when you are alone and wandering, when you realize you are lost. There is fear. Anxiety. Worry you will never find your way out. The unknown stretches before you. How long will you wander before you find your way out, or someone finds you? No idea.
Then the thought comes: Oh god, I'm going to be lost forever.
I think my fear of being "lost forever" has been one of the most powerful driving forces in my life.
How many times had I shown up for work at one of my many dead-end jobs and just been struck with that visceral clarity --when my ears buzzed with that high-pitched whine, my vision became superhumanly sharp, and time slowed almost to a full stop-- when I realized "Dear God, I'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life."
My responses to this realization have ranged from immediate resignation to frighteningly violent nausea.
I liken it to my other constant realization, one which has been so constant I can almost consider it a defining characteristic of my not-self: "This isn't who I am."
Whenever I stood quietly and let someone verbally abuse me. When I said, "no thank you" and my boundaries were violated anyway and I let them for the sake of peace and not looking like a tantrum-throwing brat because my graceful no was ignored. Whenever I was mistreated at work. Whenever I smiled and played along at stupid family gatherings for my spouse and realized nobody there gave a shit about who I was anyway. Whenever I cleaned, or cooked, ran errands, kept the house running smoothly, or did anything I could to warm the hearth in the home I was trying to build, and had to sit and listen to what a lazy, worthless piece of shit I was.
It's amazing how nearly identical the two feelings are. The only difference between the two is that the sharp, encompassing panic of "I'm going to be lost forever" has fermented over time into the quiet resignation of "This isn't who I am" when there is no visible escape.
Not a very enjoyable experience, this one. Looking about the ruins of my beloved Delenaland, I wondered which had brought it to ruin: the sharp and mindless panic, or the slow erosion of resignation?
Perhaps both?
Perhaps panic had blasted it apart, and erosion had caused the ever-present dust and the worn edges of the rubble.
As I sat there digesting these things I would've rather not faced, there was a flicker at the corner of my eye. I turned just in time to see a...shape...a blur, meld into a pillar. I raced after it.
"Hello? I know you're there!"
Two more days passed just like that, chasing something that wasn't there.
I was sitting in the fading light and singing softly to myself, trying to remember all the lyrics to Rhinestone Cowboy, when the faint scrape of dust on stone came to me from somewhere behind me and to the right. I ignored it and kept singing.
Well, I really don't mind the rain,
and a smile can hide all the pain.
But you're down when you're ridin' the train
that's taking the long way...
Again from the corner of my eye, I saw the stone take form. Or maybe form came out of the stone? Or maybe it just came out from its hiding place behind the stone. At this point I didn't care; it had evaded me for so long, I really couldn't remember how many weeks I'd been in the chamber.
I finished Rhinestone Cowboy and launched right into I've Got You Under My Skin. I was never very good remembering songs; I could hear the melodies of thousands of songs in my head. Once I heard it once, I knew it forever. But lyrics? Yeah right.
All these new songs I liked, I couldn't sing on my own worth a damn. The only ones I remembered were from when I was a kid, and later the Broadway and musical hits I'd performed in my show choirs.
So I ran through what I remembered. And I ignored that flicker at the very corner of my vision. And for some reason I sang what I could of Fire and Rain. About sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
When I was done, the dark had almost completely fallen. I lay where I had sat all that time, knowing nothing would come out of the dark and attack; nothing had in all that time, and nothing would.
Daylight came a few hours later. Everything about me was still, as it had been every single day before. With nothing else to do, I got up to continue wandering, knowing that at some point I would come out of this "Holy crap, I'm lost" feeling into the "I'm not lost, I'm right here" mentality, where time and place forgot to be significant anymore.
About fifteen paces from where I had spent the night, there was a flat rock about two paces long and one wide.
And upon that flat surface was the first sign of life other than my own I had ever seen in this place: two narrow, oblong strips where the dust had been cleared. And by the edge, mirror images of a half-moon mark. Like prints in the dust.
Like butt prints in the dust, to be more precise. The half-moon marks were probably hand prints where my unseen company had rested their weight, fingers curled over the edge.
They were small, whoever they were. And they had sat so still there was no smudge in the prints. No shifted weight, no fidgeting. Just those perfect little butt prints.
I sighed. "How come I can never get the exciting stuff others get, huh? They get flaming bushes or talking birds, good fairies and unicorns. I get butt prints."
