A 76-year-old man with severe dementia who was last seen Thursday, March 19, in Temecula is still missing and investigators are asking the public to remain on the lookout.
Robert Cricks was waiting in a running silver 2007 Infiniti G35 sedan while his wife went inside a McDonald's near Winchester and Margarita roads. About 2:42 a.m., his wife saw the car drive away, Riverside County sheriff's officials said.
On Monday morning, March 23, authorities were investigating a vehicle found in the Fallbrook area that may belong to Cricks, a San Diego County sheriff's official said.
UPDATE: Body found near missing man's car
James Cricks, the man's son, said last week that it would be out of character for his father to drive off without his mother.
The man has no money or cellphone and is unable to find his way home. He does not have the keys to the car — the ignition system allows the motor to idle without the key being present and his wife kept the key — so he would be unable to start the car once stopped, officials said.
Cricks is white, 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, and has gray hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a black ball cap with military pins, a blue jacket, a long-sleeve shirt and blue jeans.
Anybody who has any information on Cricks' whereabouts was asked to call the Riverside County sheriff's southwest station at 951-696-3000.

5 Gum by Saddington Baynes
- by Michael Dachstein
- Nov 5th, 2013
- Photo Manipulations
With its slick packaging and innovative flavours, 5 Gum continues to gain momentum in the sugarless-gum category. We partnered with Energy BBDO in Chicago to create this visual extravaganza for FMCG brand, Wrigley's.
We organised a photo-shoot in our London studio to capture detailed images of an iris. This formed the basis of our artwork, upon which we would be designing and building fully CGI characters, living within the muscle fibres of the iris to help open the pupil as the 'senses are heightened' and the eye focused.
We originally explored a number of different characters, each with their own unique styling. The chosen character went through several iterations including the detailing of the helmet to the stance of the character.

The Argentinian invasion of the Falklands Islands came as a thunderclap in early April 1982, the British government was caught by surprise as were the military. This book records the war via the nine important battles which ultimately lead to the under strength and under resourced British Army winning one their finest chapters in history.
- Author:
- Nick Van Der Bijl.
- ARRSE_Rating:
- 5 Mushroom Heads
Since then there have been numerous books, plays and documentaries telling the story of the war . I wondered what would make this one any different , in the end Nicks fantasist journey through the facts and records of both belligerents makes this the ultimate book to read if you desire the true story .
Like a lot of people I wondered what the Argies wanted with some obscure islands in the north of Scotland , some people suggested that they were after the Royal marine bases some said that they wanted to capture our north sea oil. That's how much the general public were prepared for this action and our government of the time had to hurried cobble up a task force to remove the Argies from our territory in the north Atlantic, that was news to a lot of us that we had such domains.
Prior to this the military went through " options for change " in other words slim down our forces as much as we can during recessionary times. After all most defense staff and armchair general had us convinced that the next war would be a computer driven technological one requiring highly IT trained soldiers to fight war from a distance . In the event it became an old fashioned boot and bayonet action in the cold , wet inhospitable terrain of the Falklands . The weather and terrain were neutral and both side suffered badly for it . These nine battles described in great detail shows how when a war becomes a brawl it is the brave soldier on the spot who makes the difference .
A fact i hadn't seen recorded before was that a number of the Argentinian soldiers had been trained in the USA and there fore spoke with a species of American accent shouting insults and abuse the our troops , it is perhaps from this that the myth of American snipers was born. This as I have said before it THE book on the conflict superbly researched and written by Nick Van Der Bijl, don't take my word for it , ask his publishers its been reprinted twice and is well worth the five mushroom heads .

text: Jayne M. Waterworth takes a central human phenomenon, hope, and subjects it to philosophical scrutiny through conceptual analysis. She provides a phenomenological description of hope and develops a secular account of hope in thought and action. Hope cannot be adequately investigated without reference to its conceptual counterpart, despair. Comparing, contrasting and accounting for hope and despair, hope and fear, and hope and trust form the basic set of phenomena and its relations under investigation. Hope, the author argues, is a core component in agency and meaning in life. What links hoping for a sunny day, despairing of a lover, and hoping for a good death? Many ordinary and extraordinary circumstances of human experience are considered in developing an answer to this and related questions.

Superfluidity and Critical Velocities in Nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein Condensates
We theoretically study the superfluidity properties of a nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate of exciton polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity under incoherent pumping. The dynamics of the condensate is described at mean-field level in terms of a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The drag force on a small moving object and the onset of fringes in the density profile are shown to have a sharp threshold as a function of the velocity; a generalized Landau criterion is developed to explain this behavior in terms of the dispersion of elementary excitations. Metastability of supercurrents in multiply-connected geometries is shown to persist up to higher flow speeds.

Tish got a juicer a year or so ago, and whenever I'm out in LA visiting her, she almost always makes us juice. (I'm so lucky!) Problem is, when she's done, there's all of this beautiful pulp left over. And we're not talking like a tablespoon or two, we're talking cups of fibrous veggie stuff and lots of fiber that's been filtered out through the juicing process. Now, we know juicing is good for us, but what's one to do with all of the leftover juice pulp? It seems sad to just throw it away …
Tish and I have seriously had the conversation SO many times about what to do with the pulp. Bake it into muffins? Add it to pasta sauce? Throw into stir-fry? Eh, we just weren't sure beyond composting it. So when we got an email from Foxy with full-out recipes for making yummy green juice and then a recipe that uses the leftover juice pulp in a tasty and healthy new way, we were stoked! High-fives and pelvic thrusts all around. (Why do we celebrate with pelvic thrusts? I don't know, but we do.)
Check it. Make it. You may love this juice pulp recipe so much that you'll be pelvic thrusting, too!
What to Do With Juice Pulp
Juice Recipe: Garden Salad SuperJuice Recipe
3 leaves Foxy romaine
1 stalk Foxy celery
1/2 bunch parsley
4 stalks Foxy chard
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
1. Juice all ingredients except dressing.
2. Pour into a glass and stir in ranch.
3. Keep pulp.
Juice Pulp Recipe: Tabbouleh
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Italian parsley chopped
1 cup Garden Salad SuperJuice pulp
1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 small English cucumber, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
1. Prepare quinoa per instructions. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine juice pulp with the remaining ingredients and mix with the cooled quinoa. Pour the lemon juice mixture over the salad and toss. Let set 5 minutes before serving.
Get more juice pulp recipes here, and come back tomorrow for another fun way to use juice pulp! We'll be making hummus! —Jenn

Lexus has announced full pricing and details for its new IS 250C coupe/convertible. With a folding metal hard-top, it's aimed squarely at the BMW 3 Series Convertible.
The IS 250C is the latest addition to the Lexus range. Its exterior design shares only the bonnet, headlamps, door handles and mirrors with the existing Lexus IS saloon, and it has the fastest folding metal roof of any car in its sector, taking just 21 seconds to open or close.
It also claims class-leading boot space – 235 litres roof-down or 583 litres roof-up – and generous rear passenger accommodation, achieved by moving the rear seats slightly more towards the centre of the car compared with the saloon and adopting a slender front seat design.
Lexus 250C is lavishly equipped
As is the norm with Lexus, the IS 250C's level of standard equipment is massively comprehensive.
It includes eight-way power-adjustable front seats, electronic climate control specially adapted for open-top driving and a powerful stereo system that also adjusts itself depending on the roof position. Other neat features include rear headrests that automatically fold forward when the rear seats are not occupied, improving driver visibility.
Safety equipment includes the latest Lexus stability control system (ESC), plus a Pre-Crash Safety system that helps protect occupants when it detects that an accident is imminent.
The IS 250C is powered by a 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine that produces 205bhp.Using direct injection technology, it manages 30.4mpg while emitting 219g/km CO2 – respectable for this kind of car but hardly mindblowing. The 0-62mph sprint takes 9.0 seconds and top speed is 130mph.
250C pricing and trim levels
There are two models available, the IS 250C SE-I, priced from £34,550, and the the IS 250C SE-L, priced from £39,540.
The differences include standard satellite navigation on the SE-L, quality of leather, seat ventilation, and high-tech touches such as adaptive headlights and auto-dimming door mirrors in addition to the standard auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
Satellite navigation is optional on the SE-I, while the SE-L can be upgraded with a multimedia package.
Given its level of equipment, the Lexus IS 250C is well-priced to give premium convertible buyers pause for consideration. It's available to order now, with first deliveries in July.

A. We can remember everything that happens to us. B. Much work has been done on the brain research. C. We needn't worry about our brain power.
D. We should keep using much of our brains so that we may have quick minds.
During the 19 century scientist found that when certain parts of the brain of a man were injured, he would lose the power to do certain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modern research has found out that this is not so, for it is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does.
In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Chemists and biologists(生物学家) have discovered that the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember EVERYTHING that happens to us. We may not be able to recall the things we've heard and seen, but it is all kept there in the storehouse of the human mind.
Earlier scientists thought that the power of one's brain got weaker and weaker as one grew older. But it is now thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise it keeps its power. It has been established an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical
Rivers are one of our most important natural resources. Many of the world's great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.
Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation. Ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation(航海), however, is the Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it. Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and recreation(娱乐) for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam across a river and let lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.
However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As
the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of this natural resource.
( ) 56. The greatest river for navigation is ___________.
A. the Amazon B. the Nile C. the Congo D. the Mississippi ( ) 57. Which is wrong according to the passage?
A. The Nile is in India.
B. Almost every country has at least one important river.' C. Many cities are located on rivers.
D. Rivers play an important part in the lives of people. ( ) 58. From a dam, people can use the water for ___________.

Can you think of a bird that can't fly but is a very good swimmer? The emperor penguin is one.
61.(Beijing Pacific Underwater World太平洋海底世界). "I had only seen penguins in my geography textbook," said 13-year-old Yu Yaxin, when she was watching the birds in the acquarium.62. "They're up to my shoulders!" One month ago these penguins came to China from the Antarctic.
At BPUW, emperor penguins have their own room with a swimming pool! A big air-conditioner helps to keep the room as cold as minus four degrees Celsius.
"They are starting to enjoy their new life now," said Shi Xiaomin, head of the BPUW. "They no longer hide in the corner when people try to get close to them." Shi told TEENS for more than ten hours a day!
They are not always as nice as they seem. When they get angry, they make loud noises and move their bodies from side to side. They also hit very fast with their lard flippers.
"emperor" of penguins.
Emperor penguins can swim as fast as 30 kilometers per hour. That's faster than large ships! In the wild, emperor penguins spend half their time on the cold Antarctic(南极) ice 阅读短文,根据其内容,完成下列任务。 任务一 将61处翻译成英语。

In our life, we can see bicycles everywhere. But do you know when and where it was invented? It was invented in the 1880s in England. Since it was invented, it has brought lots of convenience to people.
First people can ride it to work or to school. It helps us save much time. Second, we needn't walk a long way, which always makes us tired.
Third, riding bikes is also good for health, if you drive a car, you don't have a chance to exercise.
You may think it is more comfortable to drive a car. But when the traffic is heavy, you have to wait on the way. You'll be very worried especially when you have something important to do. If you ride a bike, you don't have to worry about it. Besides, riding bikes is cheaper than driving a car. Riding bikes has no pollution while driving a car causes lots of pollution.

Amazingly, it's now been six months since we closed on our first property. In that time, we've learned more than we could ever have imagined, and despite some missteps and some mistakes along the way, I feel like the first six months were more successful than I had imagined.
While none of this is new info, I thought I'd take a couple minutes to recap the first six months, along with some highlights and some lowlights along the way…
- Over 6 months, we have placed offers on 24 properties, some multiple times.
- As of Monday, we will have purchased 7 properties — 6 single family homes and 1 duplex.
- Of those 7 properties, 3 were purchased with cash, 3 were purchased with rehab loans, and 1 was purchased with a conventional loan.
- Of those 7 properties, 4 have been rehabbed and put back on the market, 2 are currently under renovation, and 1 is being put back on the market next week untouched, looking for an astute investor to pay me a premium for it.
- Of the 4 properties that have been put back on the market, 2 have sold, and 2 are currently under contract.
- The average purchase price of our 7 properties is just under $48,500.
- To date, we have spent just over $90,000 on contractors and just over $33,000 on materials.
- The average rehab costs on the 4 houses we have put back on the market is just under $24,000.
- Assuming the 2 properties under contract sell as expected, the average sale price of our properties is $112,225.
- Of the 2 that have sold, our average profit has been just over $22,500. If the other 2 sell on schedule, our average profit for the 4 properties will be just over $18,300.
- 3 of the 4 properties that have been rehabbed and put back on the market I would call tremendous successes. The 4th property (actually the first we ever did) was somewhat less of a success. While we mostly hit our schedule and budget, we severely over-estimated the resale price, and will likely be making less than $5,000 profit on what was a very big effort.
- The average day on market (DOM) for the 2 properties that we have already sold was 8 days. Assuming the 2 properties under contract sell as expected, the average DOM for all our rehabbed properties will be 39 days.
- The average rehab time for our properties is 46.25 days.
- Between all our rehabbed properties, we are on-average about $50 over our alloted budget (not bad considering our average budget is $29,000).
- Between all our rehabbed properties, we miss our defined schedule by an average of 18 days. This is probably the biggest area of improvement for us.
From a less quantitative perspective, all three of us involved in the business (myself, my wife, and my brother) are very happy with our progress. While we'd love to have done 20 more houses in this time, I think it's smart that we've taken it relatively slowly for the first several months. We're all happy with our accomplishments, and we've all carved out our own niches and expertise in the business.
Personally, I find that I'm best at analyzing deals, putting together budgets and schedules and keeping things on track (I'm also controlling and bossy, from what I'm told :-). My wife is the creative and marketing genius. For someone who has no real estate experience prior to this little adventure, she has gotten her license, completed 5 transactions, built strong relationships with both buyer agents and REO listing agents, and all-around has become the "face of the company," all in the past few months. My brother just flat-out gets things done day-to-day on the projects. He finds contractors, manages them, does grunt work when need be, and has no problem being the "bad cop" when we run into difficult contractors or situations.
From a financing perspective, we went from paying cash for our first property (over $100K between the purchase and rehab costs) to finding a lender who is basically extending us a line of credit that we can use to buy and rehab about 5-10 properties at a time.
Over the coming six months, our goals are to expand — both the business and the family! — and hopefully ramp up the number of houses that we can purchase, rehab, and sell simultaneously. For the most part, we have the bandwidth to buy and sell more houses at a given time; the bottleneck is in the management of the rehabs. With my brother starting to take the lead on all the project management, he can probably handle two simultaneous projects without a problem. But, once you throw in a third, it's difficult to spend enough time at any of the rehabs.
What has been helpful is the fact that we are starting to build a strong network of contractors who we are using over and over on our projects. Between our GC/handyman, our painters, our landscapers, our cabinet people, our roofers, and our carpenters, we have a strong set of people who we trust to work without our micro-managing, and who understand what we look for in our rehabs and our required level of quality. So, hopefully we can figure out a way to make our team of contractors more efficient, which will allow us to do more rehabs at a time and without spreading my brother and myself too thin.
That's our goal our the next several months…

New Screenshot from 'Ender's Game'
Published by Joseph in: Books,Film -- Date: 20 Feb 2013 Comments: 0
Fansite Ender'sAnsible has an exclusive new shot from the upcoming film adaptation of Orsen Scott Cards Novel, Ender's Game. The image itself shows the young soldiers enjoying a meal while display screens in the background show information and statistics about the training battles they participate in. Is it just me or do colored cubes of food not seem so appetizing? I guess you take what you can get when humanity is on the brink (or maybe not?) of destruction and you live on a space station.
Enders Game, set for release on November 1, stars Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Abigail Breslin, and Hailee Steinfeld. An impressive cast has been assembled which will be very important to the films success when considering how frequently child actors destroy the movies they star in.

(Masterpieces of Fiction, Detective and Mystery Edition)
Like many other prolific mystery novelists, Patricia Wentworth began her professional career writing in another genre, historical fiction. Unlike her peers, however, she earned a solid reputation as such a writer, with her first novel, A Marriage Under the Terror (1910), appearing in ten editions and winning a literary prize. She wrote five more , which were published annually through 1915. Although technically unremarkable, these early volumes helped her develop style, plotting technique, and the extensive use of detail in characterization.
When Wentworth began writing mysteries in 1923, she was a polished writer already showing the traits that would become the hallmarks of her entire body of work. In her first novel of detection, The Astonishing Adventure of Jane Smith, while using generic mystery plot elements, she conjured up considerable suspense and intrigue. In many of her books, the typical English settings of pastoral country village or urban London gain deadly and suspenseful qualities with the emphasis on secret passageways and gangs of disguised criminals who have mysterious though entirely mortal power. Such plot elements are saved from becoming silly and absurd throughout her work because of the suspense they consistently generate.
Wentworth's settings offer the orderly, romanticized views of England that the reader of English mystery novels has come to expect. The small English village, made most famous by Christie, contains within itself all the plot and character requirements. The village green is surrounded by a few small cottages with their requisite gardens, fewer still larger homes built in the Georgian style and filled with unpretentious furniture that, though worn, is very good indeed, a group of small shops containing collections of innocuous items for sale, and the necessary official places, a vicarage and a solicitor's office. Such exaggerated peace in the setting is stressed to create a strong contrast to the strange and nearly diabolical evil that enters and temporarily cankers the village. It is also the peace to which the village returns after Miss Silver has excised the evil. Thus, Wentworth uses setting in a traditional mystery fashion.
On the surface, too, Wentworth's characters resemble those of Christie. First among them is Maud Silver herself, an elderly female whose powers of knitting and detection seem unbounded. Often compared to Jane Marple, she is only superficially similar. Interestingly, Miss Silver's appearance in Grey Mask predates that of Miss Marple in Murder in the Vicarage (1930) by two years. Wentworth's creation of Miss Silver is highly detailed, perhaps more than that of any other detective hero. These details function to make her comfortably familiar to the reader and often stunningly unpredictable to her foes. Nearly everything about her is misleadingly soft, pastel, and chintz, from her light blue dressing gown and pale smooth skin to her little fur tie and ribbon-and-flower-bedecked hat. She is not a fussy elderly lady, however, and, it is important to note, not an amateur. With her detective agency she has established a professional reputation, and her skills are acknowledged both financially and socially.
Other characters in the books, particularly the dozens of damsels in distress, may be fit into categories. This placement must be made with caution, however, to avoid the mistaken conclusion that they are similar, interchangeable, or two-dimensional. The damsels' behavior is a result of more than beauty and virtue; each has her own consistent weaknesses and idiosyncrasies that are not extraneous but instead primary sources for the movement of the plot. The characters who reappear from book to book are also endowed with their own traits, but they gain their entertainment value from the pleasant familiarity the reader soon establishes with them. A newly introduced character may suddenly realize that he or she knows one of Miss Silver's longtime favorites, a niece or a student perhaps, and the requisite order of social class, inherent in the world of the English detective story, is underscored.
Such order is clearly...

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in the Netherlands: an Overview of the Statistics and the Literature (in Dutch)
Dutch media often pay a lot of attention to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They are considered to be the engine of the Dutch job industry and therefore deserve our attention. In this study we highlight the role the Dutch SMEs play in the Dutch economy. This study's first objective is to get an overall picture of the importance of Dutch SMEs from a macro-economic perspective. The second objective is to shed light on any possible bottlenecks for the Dutch SME. In particular, we pay attention to topics as employment, wages, economic growth, corporate finance and internationalisation.

Published: Wednesday 11th February 2015 by The News Editor
Joe Marler believes England have taken a significant step in their development by learning to problem solve on the pitch.
The 21-16 victory over Wales in Friday's RBS 6 Nations opener has been spoken of as a watershed moment for Stuart Lancaster's team, who battled back from an early 10-0 deficit to prevail at a hostile Millennium Stadium.
The successful comeback, completed despite the psychological scarring left by their 30-3 hammering in Cardiff in 2013, was founded on the experience of having endured a number of near misses.
Among the most harrowing – and instructive – of these was last season's 26-24 defeat in France , a match England trailed 16-3 and then led 24-19 before a late lapse of concentration cost them a Grand Slam.
"It definitely feels as if we are a team that is evolving and sorting out problems on the pitch," Harlequins prop Marler said.
"In Paris last year when we went down early there was still that little bit of panic and unease about how we are going to get back into the game.
"But in Cardiff hardly anything was said and it was a case of what's the next job and let's get on with it. The boys are starting to understand the lessons we have learnt.
"Beating Wales like that has raised confidence levels because it was a great performance. It was a good result but there's still plenty to work on.
"To go 10-0 down wasn't in the plan and there are areas to tweak, disciplinary areas which we managed to sort out in the game, but we don't want to put ourselves in that position again."
England will hope to generate further momentum in their pursuit of a first Six Nations title under Lancaster by toppling Italy at Twickenham on Saturday.
Facing Marler will be 108-cap veteran Martin Castrogiovanni, the shaggy-haired tighthead who continues to provide the cornerstone of the effective Azzurri pack.
"Martin gets more experienced all the time and is still world class. He's been at the very top for a number of years now," Marler said.
"Having moved from Leicester to Toulon, who love their scrums even more than Leicester, he'll be one hell of a challenge at the weekend. And one I'm looking forward to.
"He's technically very, very good. He gets very low and is obviously a very big man.
"He's very strong and I've had a couple of tough moments against him in the past and hopefully I can go better against him this time.
"Italy are a very good team who pride themselves on the set piece. They are big, physical and passionate men and just won't stop."
Marler will continue at loosehead prop when Lancaster names an unchanged starting XV and bench for the round two fixture on Thursday morning.

text: Kim Kardashian is Freaking Out That Her 'Selfish' Book is a Flop 34-year-old Kim is currently pregnant with her second child, but that doesn't mean she can't stress herself out over bad business ventures (and there have been a few lately!). Kim's book Selfish hasn't been doing as well as she hoped according to reports. She thought it was definitely going to be successful because she has so many followers on Instagram but it hasn't translated to real sales:"Kim is stressing out over how poorly her book is selling, because she thought it was going to be an easy way to make big bucks. When she first presented the idea to publishers, her biggest selling points were her huge social media following and her ability to influence the masses. But now, she's starting to panic."Getting desperate, she decided to recently hold a Dash boutique book signing to further promote the book and has been regularly uploading photos from the book to her Instagram account to remind fans it's available. She wasn't expecting the book to flop:"She posed for countless selfies. Kim really thought the book would sell itself, but she has had to put in a lot of extra work in order to advance book sales and keep the publisher happy. She's even recruited [her mother] Kris jenner and [husband] Kanye West to help her promote the book."The book's publisher claim the trade sales are 125,000 copies so far.

At the end of July, Crissy and I took our long-awaited trek along the yellow brick road to Emerald City (aka Seattle). While there was no cowardly lion or scarecrow to be found, we met some great people who made the trip to Christian Grey's city that much more epic.
The trip started off with us hanging out in the Delta Lounge having a little lunch before the flight(after Crissy found me). After a yummy sandwich and a quick Jack Daniels later, we boarded our flight, flying off into the great blue yonder! After 5 and a half hours of endless bumps into my chair by a baby and sporadic bouts of crying (not me!), we landed safely and made our way to Seattle's Link light rail, which was about a 40 minute ride, then a walk up THE STEEPEST HILL I HAVE EVER WALKED IN MY LIFE!! I almost gave up and made Crissy carry me up the rest of the way.
After a late dinner with Vanessa (@LatersBabyUK) and firming up plans for the next day, it was lights out…
The next morning, after a quick walk to Pike Street Market to try to catch a fish, and tasting a piece of paradise (one of the largest nectarines I have ever eaten!), we made our way to Biscuit Bitch to have breakfast. Ladies and Gentlemen, if you ever find yourself in Seattle, DO NOT HESITATE to make this little gem a part of your must eat list!
What better way to see the Emerald City then by Helicopter you ask…there is none! The Blue Angels even gave us a sneak preview of their upcoming show….by the way, IT WAS FLEET WEEK IN SEATTLE…lots of men (and women) in uniform….what more could a girl ask for?!
Lunch in the Space Needle Restaurant, which rotates (it takes 40-45 mins for a full rotation) had some of the best views around, and a smoking Sundae for dessert.
A day trip to Portland included a visit the Heathman, its elevators, and Christian Grey's hotel suite.
We couldn't leave Seattle without a trek to Escala. Unfortunately, we weren't able to smooze our way into the building, but just by looking at the lobby, you know the apartments upstairs must be magnificent.
Thanks to our new friend Sue (@MsSueS), we had a bit of a spa morning in the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, complete with facials and friends! Afterward, a quick ferry ride took us to Bainbridge Island, where we imbibed some great wine and took some time to appreciate the arts at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.
Seattle is a great city, made up of people from all walks of life and neighborhoods. New friends made along the way (Maricela, Vanessa, Sue, Maureen, Blanca, and Juro) made the trip a great 50s filled time. Next time, I'm cabbing it up the hill though!
Crissy promises to post pictures soon.
Laters, baby!

I wonder if we could light a candle or candles for our sisters who have passed. Specific time and date so we can have them all around the world? LMK what you think. we did this before and it was so profound. My picture is the one I lit for Moopy
Jul 15, 2014 - 7:24 pm
It's been a long time since we lit candles/sage to send our thoughts.
There have been so many of us who are no longer physically here bu with us forever.
Thank you MJ for your strength - no one here was ever priviliged to have known her.
When we light candles we also need to remember those Sisters we don't know or do know how they are today. One I don't know about but do think about is 'Strawberry Shortcakes'. (Yeah - I've been around a while.)
Winyan - The Power Within
Jul 15, 2014 - 8:40 pm
Let's do it.
Jul 15, 2014 - 9:15 pm
I always wished we knew what happened. She was going thru so much. Girl Power. Lighting a candle sounds good. A list of our lost sisters?
Jul 15, 2014 - 10:38 pm
This is a lovely idea. How about tomorrow evening? Here is a photo of the candle that I lit for too many others.
Jul 16, 2014 - 12:17 am
I will
Jul 16, 2014 - 1:46 pm
Don't forget our brothers, too. I miss Man With A Mission.
Jul 28, 2014 - 11:34 pm
I miss him also. A lighted candle and a special Prayer. Diana
Jul 16, 2014 - 5:49 pm
... and so meaningful. Although each time we do it, seems more sad.
I remember beginning with a pink, rose-scented candle that had been a gift. When that one was used up, I bought a light green, sage-scented candle. Even though both were fairly large, they're both now gone. The green, sage-scented candle was last burned for our beloved Chenheart - now almost a year ago.
I have a new one, waiting in a closet. Really sorta dislike the thought of beginning yet another... (sigh) But, of course, I will. Thank you, Carkris, for proposing a group candle-burning. Within the past year & off the top of my head - recent losses include:
carriesoup (Carrie Sue Smurkowski)
Jeanne D (Jeanne Doyle)
Robert, Man with a Mission
Dawne, Texasgirl10
I know there are more. :-(
In order to give others a chance to read this thread and join in - I'll propose: maybe Friday evening? (Today is Wednesday.) Or, over the weekend - Saturday, Sunday? I'll be checking back in daily to make sure my own candle is lit along with all of yours.
Kind regards, Susan
Jul 26, 2014 - 11:12 pm
I have been away, how about this week? I loved shortcakes I think she passed.

Jul 27, 2014 - 11:19 pm
of course MamaG, Heidi , Kat and many others who stopped coming.
I am lighting my candle today in loving memory of Kindred spirits who left and watching over us.
We can repeat next Sunday as well.
Jul 27, 2014 - 10:13 pm
I hope I'm not late for this, I would like to join, let me know when you guys planning to do it.
Jul 28, 2014 - 12:52 am
Carkris, I am all for lighting a candle for all the wonderful ladies and gentlemens on the list. Even though I do not know any of them since I just joined CSN in January my heart goes out to all and they are missed by many . They all have their angels wings on now and is in no longer pain. My candle will not only be lit for these people but also for many more that I have know who have passed on with any type of cancer and also my mother who passed with BC in 1996. Please let me know when everyone is going to light the candles. Thank you !! Pixie

This past Sunday, I visited my local Trader Joe's to do a bit of grocery shopping. I arrived shortly after opening and the produce was piled high, undisturbed by the hundreds of shoppers that would squeeze and hold them.
All the food looked so good, it made me feel like cooking up something from scratch. I finished my shopping there, and then went to Whole Foods Market to pick up a few more items.
Isn't this a beautiful shopping area where Whole Foods is located?
So back to my story… maybe it's because it's Spring or just because all the food looked so wonderful and fresh early in the day, but it got me thinking about how much I used to love to cook.
When I was a child, I was always cooking or baking something. When I was about 11 or 12 years old, I joined the James Beard Cookbook of the Month club. I looked forward each month to the new catalogue of cookbooks from which I would make my selections and acquired quite a collection, anticipating the many new recipes waiting to be tried.
I made a gingerbread house one year from scratch and still bear the scar from the drop of boiling sugar that I spilled on my hand. I made pies and cakes from scratch (as well as a mix), mixing pastry dough by crossing two knives back and forth through the pastry crumbs. I roasted Thanksgiving turkeys and created a Baked Alaska for dessert. I couldn't wait to take Home Economics in junior high school and continued taking it in high school. One year, I started a massive cookie dough fight while our sweet, demure teacher never noticed a thing!
Now, I admit I had my share of Hamburger Helper days back then, as I was also in charge of making dinner each night from age 13 to 16. I couldn't make a new creation from scratch while taking care of my sister and doing homework each day. I have to laugh at some of the funny foods we had back then. Does anyone remember Jell-O 1-2-3? It was a favorite of mine. The Jell-O settled into three yummy layers. And who knew that Tang was just orange sugar water?
In my adult years, I loved to try new pasta recipes as Italian food has always been a favorite. Hot or cold, I made many wonderful dishes. But then about 14 years ago, I developed an intolerance to wheat products and had to change my diet. It was then that my love for cooking changed. I had to cut out a lot of products – you would be amazed at how many foods contain wheat. There were not as many good options back then and it was actually quite stressful trying to figure out what I could eat. Luckily, we have so many more choices today. But, cooking was never quite the same after that since I couldn't make the foods I loved. During that time, I also adopted a vegetarian diet for six years. I had the best of intentions for my health and that of the animals, but it did not work too well for me. Eventually I had to add some meat back into my diet after suffering severe anemia. Now, it's much more a matter of finding the time to cook. You wouldn't believe the number of recipes I tear out of magazines each month – my stack just gets bigger and bigger but I do dabble in trying them, looking for the "winners".
Soon there will be wonderful fruits and vegetables coming forth that will inspire me to make some favorite foods. If you've never had roasted asparagus, you don't know what you are missing! Simply roast it at 425 degrees after coating it in olive oil; add shaved parmesan cheese slices before serving. I'll definitely be making fruit salads and desserts plus fresh vegetable dishes. Nothing taste better during the Spring and Summer. For now, I'm making lots of vegetable soups for those cooler and rainy Spring days, but I'm still perusing that recipe pile, always looking for something new.
