      This was a very nice robe of good quality. I had to return it though because it was huge on me. One size fits all did not work for me.

    • Comfy, roomy well made robe.

      The material of this robe is really nice. It is a soft and luxurious cotton. The robe itself is nice and roomy. I love the length, as it comes almost to my ankles. I am 5'6'' and weigh 150 lbs. and the robe is large enough to wrap around and not leave any gaps. This is not a sexy robe. It's a classic.

    • Great quality, great design

      A great quality robe with a handy design. Robe is a cotton blend so isn't as hot as a lot of fluffy polyester versions. Belt is attached on back, so no fumbling with ties that are hanging from loops. Great for wrapping up after shower, etc.

    • Soft and Nice Quality

      Very soft material--not super thick either, which is what I wanted--something not terribly bulky. Also the robe's belt is sewn into the back where it doesn't move--this is soooo nice. The belt stays in place and isn't always moving.

    • Organic Ecru Bathrobe

      This is an great robe for myself. I hate robes that are hot and "see thru". It is a great length and often robes with a sash annoy me, but this robe ties and stays closed easily. It maintains my privacy but I am not too hot. It washes without any wrinkles and comes out of the dryer perfectly. I was very happy with this item.

    • Soft and cool. Great for summer!

      Exactly what I was looking for. Long enough to ensure coverage for lounging around. If you are really thin, it may be too large as it is one size fits mosts. I have washed it with no noticeable shrinkage. Good quality cotton, not too thin.

    • Why did you choose this product?

      • I was looking for a soft cotton lightweight robe.

    • Why can't the picture be enlarged? It's hard to tell if the fabric is knit cotton or woven cotton.

    • I am very happy with this product

      I could not find another machine comparable in the market. I had another before from another company and after a short time using i, it failed. The machine is easy to use, so far is quite reliable an the taste of the coffee it produces is very good. It is programable, which is convenient and easy to clean. The price is very reasonable for this time of product, and the company ithat makes it has a good reputation for the quality of its productds and so far I am enjoy very much. my morning cup of coffee.

    • Poor quality

      The idea of making espresso and frothing milk with ease was why I bought this product. This is my first Delonghi product. It worked great for a couple of months. After 6 months of use, the frothing mechanics started deteriorating. The seals don't hold anymore and the milk leaks all over the machine making huge mess. More importantly, part of the milk frothing device, that is held in by gaskets, will blow out over time which is a huge safety concern with steaming milk being blown everywhere. The only option is to hold it down with your hand, but be careful not to get burned by the steam. I highly recommend to invest the $$$$$ in a different product.

    • Amazing coffee!!

      The coffee drip is fantastic, the expresso cup holder comes out just like a coffee filter would. I am not impressed with the frothing feature as there are so many pieces to take apart, milk gets caked in the corners and it also gets clogged. I do not use it for that reason, boiling the milk on the stove is much easier.

      Read More
    • It looks good....

      The product performs exactly as described, up until it begins to leak. You start noticing that your not getting exactly the cups out of it that you put into it. Then you start noticing the water under it. The product comes with a one year warranty, mine started leaking 2 months out of warranty. DeLonghi does have a repair center, that's 6 hours drive from my home, where I could pay to have it repaired, but that is the only assistance DeLonghi offered.

    • DeLonghi Combo

      I love this machine!! It is easy to clean, easy to use, and makes really great coffee. It did take a bit of getting used to by adjusting the amount of coffee that I use, but once I figured that out, I was very happy with the coffee it was making. I've also used the espresso half a lot and it also makes great coffee, and is fairly easy to do. The machine takes up a lot of room on the counter, but really no more room than 2 separate machines and since its right next to the sink its easy to fill. The strength feature is wonderful - depending on the type of coffee I am using it is nice to be able to adjust the aftertaste that it leaves. I use this machine daily - multiple pots on both sides.

    • The best coffee machine I've ever had!

      My fiance got me this for Christmas and I absolutely LOVE IT. I had originally wanted a Keurig but I am so happy that he got me this one instead. It makes delicious coffee, FAST. It also makes very good cappucino. I have had this for almost a year now and I use it every day.

      Read More
    • Not good enough

      I think the plastic on every part of the machine makes it seem low quality and do not like the fact that you have to put water into a pressured area after each use. Steam did not come out as strong as I would have liked.

      Read More
    • Terrible product

      While the regular coffee component is still working, the express part died after a few days. This is a replacement of a previous DeLonghi that did not work at all. Don't buy it.

3 Spelling and hyphenation

3.4 Word division

3.4.1 General principles

Words can be divided between lines of printing to avoid unacceptably wide spaces between words (in justified setting) or at the end of a line (in unjustified setting). The narrower the column, the more necessary this becomes. Some divisions are better than others, and some are unacceptable because they may mislead or confuse the reader. Rules governing division are based on a combination of a word’s construction (i.e. the parts from which it is formed) and its pronunciation, since exclusive reliance on either can yield unfortunate results. The following offers general guidance only; for individual cases, consult the New Oxford Spelling Dictionary. See also 2.5.2 for a discussion of the general principles of page layout and proofreading. For word division in foreign languages, see Chapter 12, under the languages concerned.

A hyphen is added where a word is divided at the end of a line. This is known as a soft hyphen or discretionary hyphen:

  • con-

  • trary

If a word with a hard hyphen is divided after its permanent (keyed) hyphen, no further hyphen is added:

  • well-

  • developed

In most texts the hyphens in the examples above (con-trary and well-developed) will use the same symbol (-). Sometimes, as in dictionaries or other reference works in which it is important for the reader to know whether an end-of-line hyphen is a permanent one or not, a different symbol, such as -, is used when words are divided:
  • con-

  • trary

A tilde (~) is also occasionally used:

  • con~

  • trary

In copy to be keyed, add a ‘close up’ mark (see Appendix Proofreading marks) to any permanent (hard) hyphen that falls at the end of a line, to indicate that it must be typed and set close to the next word. A stet mark (from Latin, ‘let it stand’) was formerly used, marked as three dots under the character.

3.4.2 Principles of word division

The main principle governing the guidelines that follow is that the word division should be as unobtrusive as possible, so that the reader continues reading without faltering or momentary confusion. All word divisions should correspond as closely as possible to a syllable division:

However, syllable division will not be satisfactory if the result is that the first part is misleading on its own and the second part is not a complete recognizable suffix. For example, do not divide abases, as neither aba-ses nor abas-es are acceptable.

An acceptable division between two parts of one word may be unacceptable when applied to the same form with a suffix or prefix: help-ful is perfectly acceptable, but unhelp-ful is not as good as un-helpful.

The New Oxford Spelling Dictionary therefore uses two levels of word division—‘preferred’ divisions (marked |), which are acceptable under almost any circumstances, and ‘permitted’ divisions (marked ¦), which are not as good, given a choice. Thus unhelpful is shown as un|help¦ful.

The acceptability of a division depends to a considerable extent on the appearance of each part of the word, balanced against the appearance of the spacing in the text. For instance, even a division that is neither obtrusive nor misleading, such as con-tact, may be possible but quite unnecessary at the end of a long line of type, whereas a poorer division, such as musc-ling, may be necessary in order to avoid excessively wide word spaces in a narrow line. In justified setting, word spaces should not be so wide that they appear larger than the space between lines of type.

Whether the best word division follows the construction or the pronunciation depends partly on how familiar the word is and how clearly it is thought of in terms of its constituent parts. For instance, atmosphere is so familiar that its construction is subordinated to its pronunciation, and so it is divided atmos-phere, but the less familiar hydrosphere is divided between its two word-formation elements: hydro-sphere.

3.4.3 Special rules

Do not divide words of one syllable:

Do not leave only one letter at the end of a line:

  • aground (not a-ground)

Avoid dividing in such a way that fewer than three letters are left at the start of a line:

  • Briton (not Brit-on)

  • rubbishy (not rubbish-y)

However, two letters are acceptable at the start of a line if they form a complete, recognizable suffix or other element:

Nearly all words with fewer than six letters should therefore never be divided:

Divide words according to their construction where it is obvious, for example:

  • • between the elements of a compound word:

  • • between the root word and a prefix or suffix:

except where such a division would be severely at odds with the pronunciation:

dem-ocracy (not demo-cracy)

chil-dren (not child-ren)

archaeo-logical but archae-ologist

psycho-metric but psych-ometry

human-ism but criti-cism

neo-classical but neolo-gism

When the construction of a word is no help, divide it after a vowel, preferably an unstressed one:

or between two consonants or two vowels that are pronounced separately:

Divide after double consonants if they form the end of a recognizable element of a word:

but otherwise divide between them:

Words ending in -le, and their inflections, are best not divided, but the last four letters can be carried over if necessary:

With the present participles of these verbs, divide the word after the consonant preceding the l:

or between two identical preceding consonants:
  • puz-zling

Divide most gerunds and present participles at -ing:

Avoid divisions that might affect the sound, confuse the meaning, or merely look odd:

exact-ing (not ex-acting)

co-alesce (not coal-esce)

le-gend (not leg-end)

lun-ging (not lung-ing)

re-appear (not reap-pear)

re-adjust (not read-just)

Words that cannot be divided at all without an odd effect should be left undivided:

  • breeches  cliquey  preaches  sluicing

Hyphenated words are best divided only at an existing hard hyphen but can, if necessary, be divided a minimum of six letters after it:
  • counter-revolution~

  • ary

Even where no hyphen is involved, certain constraints must be observed on line breaks:

  • • Divide abbreviations and dates only after a hard hyphen or an en rule:

    • UNESCO

    • AFL-|CIO

    • 1914–|18

  • • Numbers should not be divided, even at a decimal point: 643.368491. However, very large numbers containing commas may be divided (but not hyphenated) after a comma, though not after a single digit: 6,493,|000,000. They cannot be divided at the same places if written with spaces instead of commas: 6 493 000 000.

  • • Do not separate numbers from their abbreviated units:

    15 kg

    300 bc

  • • If possible, do not separate a person’s initials from their surname, and do not split two initials; a single initial should certainly not be separated from the surname.

  • • Do not separate a name from a following modifier:

    Louis XIV

    Samuel Browne, Jr.

More example sentences
  • Within the last few decades, massive land reclamation projects and astounding growth have created one of the most modern and efficient cities in the world, where shiny modern buildings stand cheek by jowl.

  • The singer, his voice deep and husky, started singing mimicking that of Frank Sinatra, singing about us dancing cheek to cheek.

turn the other cheek

Example sentences

[in combination]: rosy-cheeked

Old English cē(a)ce, cēoce 'cheek, jaw'; related to Dutch kaak.

  • The Old English word cheek, meaning both cheek and jaw, came to mean ‘rude or disrespectful behaviour’ in the mid 19th century. The sense probably comes from the idea of a person's cheeks moving as he rudely answers a superior back. Cheeky was first used around the same time. The affectionate reprimand you cheeky monkey! is particularly common in Lancashire, and is often used by the barmaid Betty Turpin in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street. A variation of the expression was popularized in the 1950s by the comedian Al Read, whose catchphrase was ‘Right, monkey!’ In cheek by jowl, meaning ‘very close together’, jowl (Old English) simply means ‘cheek’. In fact the original form of the phrase was cheek by cheek. To turn the other cheek is to make a deliberate decision to remain calm and not to retaliate when you have been attacked or insulted. The expression comes from the Gospel of Matthew: ‘But I say to ye, That ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other.’

Late Middle English (in the general sense 'eject, force to leave'): from Latin expellere, from ex- 'out' + pellere 'to drive'.

  • appeal from Middle English:

    Recorded first in legal contexts, appeal comes via Old French from Latin appellare ‘to address, accost, call upon’. Peal (Late Middle English) is a shortening of appeal, perhaps from the call to prayers of a ringing bell. The base of appeal is Latin pellere ‘to drive’, found also in compel ‘drive together’; dispel ‘drive apart’; expel ‘drive out’; impel ‘drive towards’; and impulsive; propel ‘drive forwards’; repel ‘drive back’, all Late Middle English. It is also the source of the pulse (Middle English) that you can feel on your wrist and is related to push (Middle English). The other kind of pulse, an edible seed, is a different word, which comes via Old French from Latin puls ‘porridge of meal or pulse’, related to the sources of both pollen and powder.

Trash Talkin' with Vikings Gab

Once is a while before a big game, I’ll hit up some rival blogs and smack on their comments section. It’s usually pretty fun even if I only get a personal giggle or two out of it. After cracking his team, the editor of (and nice guy), Adam Warwas, offered me the opportunity to go toe-to-toe in a smackoff for his last post. It got a little heated there somewhere in between but it was a lot of fun.

As Franklin and I say, the first time a man faces a Packer Ranter is usually their last. You be the judge. Below is an abbreviated version. For the whole smackoff, here’s the story.

RG: I’ve been asked to tell you why the Packers will win MNF. The answer is seventy-fold. No ones knows #4 better than GB – his history, his tendencies, even his tendinitis (both knees, elbows and right thumb, btw). After his best game last year, Favre began a streak of nasty INTs that left Jets fans feeling as though they’ve been roofied. What great timing that the Packers come into the Dome as the top ballhawks in the NFL.

AW: For the most part I agree on your Favre take. But let’s face it, this is an important game to Brett, and he has a way of winning those “special” games. Unfortunately for the Packers, however, Brett Favre does not make or break these Vikings. With players like Adrian Peterson, Visanthe Shiancoe, Percy Harvin, E.J. Henderson, Antoine Winfield, Jared Allen, and the WilliamsWall, our quarterback truly is only part of what makes this team win football games.

RG: If Favre doesn’t make or break the Vikings, why didn’t you stick with T-Jack? Are you now suggesting it was a giant PR stunt to sell jerseys and season tickets? Yes, you’ve got some playmakers and I can’t take anything away from Peterson. Much like Alf, he is other-worldly (except that time we hurt him during a 34-0 thrashing in ’07… hehe). But you followed your list of Vikings playmakers after AP with Shiancoe though? Really? Mr. Six Catches for 49 yards Shiancoe? Pretty sure #81 wouldn’t even make our squad.

AW: You pretty much summed up exactly why I think the Vikings got Brett Favre. Don’t under estimate Shiancoe, either. He’s itching for a big game. And don’t let Adrian’s few (very few) struggles in his rookie year make you think you have some sort of way to stop him. There is no way to stop him, and if you try he’ll just run you over. Just ask Al Harris. Better send McCarthy some Tylenol, because he’s going to have quite the headache trying to figure out a game plan for this one. Or does he even do game plans anymore?

RG: I thought the entire state was already planning for #4’s Viking HOF induction. Mark it down as just another chapter in the never-ending “How Not to Run an Organization” saga, aka the Zygmunt Wilf story. As far as Shiancoe goes, I think he’s been itching for a big game his entire career. I know it’s something foreign to you, but our QB can do more than just throw (Favre) or just run (Jackson). So even if the Turbo Lax Williams boys squeak though, Rodgers can make a play on his feet. I even took your advice and Al Harris still feels bad about tearing the AP’s LCL in ‘07.

AW: Tell Al not to worry, #28 is an incredibly forgiving guy. Even cheap shots from has-beens don’t keep Adrian from churning out the yards. Any day I’d take Wilf over your “share holders” and incompetent putz Ted Thompson. Luck or no luck, we didn’t lose to a team as crappy as the Bungles and the Packers have. We are winning more games, scoring more points, and giving up fewer points than the Pack. That’s all I need to know to think the Vikes have the edge.

RG: Sure, bring Wario on over! They’re opening a new wing of the Pro Shop and we need a good PR guy. And while he’s here, he can stop by Lambeau and take notes on the greatest stadium (and fans) in the NFL and list them under “Things The Vikings Will Never Have.” Instead of inflating victories against three of the worst teams from last year, let me remind you that GB has owned MN as of late, winning 5 out of the last 6.

Robert’s Prediction: Packers 24, Vikings 20
Adam’s Prediction: Vikings 34, Packers 27

  1. Can I add that four of those six games that the Packers beat the Vikings...Brett Lorenzo Favre was the QB! What's your argument now?

  2. Fear not, Melissa. I'm sure #4 will still find a way to get the Packers a victory.

  3. As much as I hate to give any Vikings fan credit the "Share holders" photo is hilarious.

    But in all reality this game will be decided by the all important turn-over and the Packer's swiss cheese like offensive line limiting the Vikings to maybe only 4 sacks.

    Vikings Suck!

  4. Last time I checked Cinci is 4-1 and should be 5-0 and have beat two AFC playoff teams from last year. Vikings wont be able to beat them either!!

  5. Last time I checked Cinci is 4-1 and should be 5-0 and have beat two AFC playoff teams from last year. Vikings wont be able to beat them either!!

  6. Seriously - they're a good team! (which is weird)

Labeling regulations: A bug's life?

“Stop bugging me: Consumers unwittingly eating insects.”
FILED IN:  Machinery  > Labeling

When my wife Peggy read me that headline from the June 26 Kenosha News front page it got my attention. Reading on we learned that this year the Food and Drug Administration proposed a rule requiring that food manufacturers disclose the presence of carmine and cochineal in foods on their labels.

Turns out instead of using “artificial red dyes some manufacturers list ‘natural’ colorings called carmine or cochineal pigments derived from female insects raised on farms in Peru Mexico and the Canary Islands” said the newspaper story. The article quoted the Wall Street Journal saying it takes 70 of the bugs to produce 1 lb of carmine. “The abdomens and eggs of the females contain the most intense color; those parts are dried ground and heated to produce the die.”

The Kenosha News story also noted “Not all manufacturers that use carmine or cochineal are upfront about it on the package ingredient list.” The article says the FDA “allows some food tints to be obfuscated under terms like ‘color added’ or ‘artificial color.’

Consuming ground bugs in candy yogurt juice popsicles cheeses cherries crabmeat and caviar may be concerning to consumers. Food manufacturers may feel the bite in the form of label changes for packages whose products contain carmine or cochineal.

The FDA’s January 30 proposal 21 CFR Parts 73 and 101 summarized: “The FDA is proposing to revise its requirements for cochineal extract and carmine by requiring their declaration on the label of all food and cosmetic products that contain these color additives. The proposed rule responds to reports of severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis to cochineal extract and carmine-containing food and cosmetics and would allow consumers who are allergic to these color additives to identify and thus avoid products that contain these color additives. This proposed action also responds in part to a citizen petition submitted by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.” Written or electronic comments were accepted through May 1 of this year.

Avocado Tomatillo Soup
This is hearty yet elegant, with a velvety texture and unusual smoky
flavor. The tang of tomatillos is beautifully balanced by the richness of

1 to 2 fresh green chiles
1 quart fresh tomatillos (about 1-1/2 pounds), husked and rinsed
2 ripe Hass avocados*
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

* A ripe avocado is somewhat fragrant and yields slightly to thumb
pressure. When perfectly ripe, the soft flesh can be easily separated from
the peel. Dark, discolored spots are a sign of bruising and/or

Preheat the broiler.

Place the chiles and the tomatillos (stem side down) on an unoiled,
nonreactive, heatproof baking pan and broil near the heat source for about
10 minutes. Turn them over with tongs and broil for 5 minutes more. The
tomatillos will intensify in color and may scorch slightly-when removed
from the broiler, they should collapse or wilt.

Meanwhile, slice each avocado lengthwise around its center, gently twist
the halves apart, and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a large
bowl. Sprinkle on the lime juice and toss to coat well.

Remove the baking pan from the broiler and set aside the chiles for the
moment. Transfer the tomatillos and all of their juices to a separate bowl
to cool. Return the chiles to the baking pan, broil for 5 minutes longer,
and then set aside.

When cool, add the tomatillo juices to the avocados. Turn each tomatillo
inside out through its stem scar and use a spoon to scrape the flesh into
the bowl of avocados. Discard the skins. Remove and discard the stems and
any tough seeds from the chiles (see Note). Add the stemmed chiles,
scallions, cilantro, water, salt, and pepper to the bowl.

In a blender, puree everything in batches until very smooth and thick. If
needed, stop the blender once or twice to scrape down the sides. Add up to
1 cup of water if you prefer the soup less thick.

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Note: If desired, remove all of the chile seeds for a milder hot.

Nursery Capital of the World

Middle Tennessee is often called the Nursery Capital of the world. Jerry Blankenship, President of the Tennessee Nursery and Landscape Association, explains why.

Jerry Blankenship: This area has several geographical advantages that makes it an excellent location for growing trees and shrubs. Tennessee is kind of in a transition zone. We can grow plants that will do well to the South and we can grow plants that will do well in the north. Our clay soil makes it really easy to put a good high quality root ball on the plant and enables us to ship that plant either north or south.

Jerry also comments on some new developments that will make trees and shrubs attractive to gardeners year round.

Jerry: We're seeing more emphasis on developing plants that are for four-season interest. You know, looking for good bark characteristics, fruit, flower, foliage, everything that makes a plant interesting to a consumer. We're seeing that more and more in our industry versus years ago when plants were developed for solely for bloom or a certain foliage color. Now we're trying to find plants that are applicable to all seasons.

Should you be plant this fall for the future?

Jerry: The fall is a great time to plant, the main reason is that the tree has time to acclimate to your weather. So, for example, if a Bradford pear planted up North originated from the South then it has time to acclimate to the colder climate and will bloom for you on time. Also, the tree has time to establish itself, its roots system is going to be growing all winter and you're still going to have to water the plant, but you may not have to water it near as much. As soon as we start seeing the fall color come on the red maples and sugar maples then we know it's time to start digging.

What are Monitors and Alerts in Systems Management?

Information applies to:

Systems Management

Monitoring is the ability to set thresholds against various devices attributes (e.g Disk Space, processor utilization, Event codes etc.).

If the desired thresholds are met or surpassed, an alert can be raised against the associated device or devices.

The alert can then be configured to send an email, run a job or raise a ticket. Alerts will also be displayed on the Dashboard.

Default Monitors

Systems Management supplies each account with a set of Default Monitors. These monitors provide a base set of monitoring which covers CPU, Memory, Disk space and online status.

These Default Monitors are made available as a two System Level Policies (Server and Desktop) which can be enabled or disabled as required.

How to configure Monitoring

Monitoring is configured either across the System or Profiles as a policy or individually on a per device basis. The monitors available are as follows:

Alerts triggered by monitors can be managed through Monitors tab at the System, Profile or Device level.

The alerts window will display any raised alerts against a device with the associated severity and a message explaining the issue. Each alert is time stamped and assigned a color code according to severity. If the issue pertaining to an alert has been fixed, the alert can be cleared by selecting the alerts and clicking the Resolve selected alerts button.

Monitors can be muted for a device, profile or system. This functionality will continue to raise alerts but will suppress any notification either via email or through tickets. This function is useful where a particular monitor is proving to be “noisy”.

Alert Window

Clicking the Alert Message will open the Alert window. The alert window shows the alert in greater detail, outlining the device and the problem raised and by which monitor. Depending on the type of monitor a Diagnostic summary will be shown to assist you in resolving the issue.

The alert window also gives the user the ability to connect to the device via the Agent browser.

Thai Meatball Mania

Thai Meatball Mania ~ The Plaid and Paisley Kitchen ~

Today I bring you a fun and easy appetizer.  I am sure that you are all gearing up for that big day of finger food, beer and football! I never really care which two teams play in the Super Bowl but I always love the party and the food that happens on that Sunday.

I think your guests will love this.  If you are hosting the party or just bringing a dish to a friends house, this dish will deliver! Easy to transport as this is made in a Crock Pot. When I served this during the PlayOffs they disappeared by the end of the first quarter!

Thai Meatball Mania ~ The Plaid and Paisley Kitchen ~

Spicy and just a touch sweet, they have all the great flavors that you want in an appetizer.  Hot Chili sauce and apricot jam are the stars of the dish.

Who knew that frozen meatballs could be taken to such dizzying heights of flavor and excitement.  For just a few moments my hubby was actually quiet during the game with a mouth full of these meatballs.

It didn’t last long….. his team scored and then all the meatballs were eaten.

Thai Meatball Mania ~ The Plaid and Paisley Kitchen ~

Your guest will for sure have meatball mania once they bite into these.  You can change up the flavors of this very easily with what you mix in.  This recipe has a great Thai flavor to you and I hope that you enjoy it as much as we all did.

By John Axtell

Col Sankey - 1Nebraska State Patrol Superintendent Colonel David Sankey says he is concerned about the escalation of violence in Whiteclay over alcohol sales in the unincorporated community bordering the Pine Ridge Reservation.

Protestors have twice in as many weeks vandalized beer trucks from two Scottsbluff distributors making deliveries to the 4 stores in Whiteclay with liquor licenses…threatening one of the drivers with a knife.

Anti-alcohol activists have protested periodically in Whiteclay for more than a decade, but Sankey says nearly all of those were peaceful…making the recent beer truck incidents an even bigger issue.

He says the State Patrol will be working with the Sheridan County Sheriff’s office to provide a law enforcement presence when beer deliveries are made while continuing its investigation into the earlier incidents.

Colonel Sankey says the patrol is working on the cases with agencies on both side of the border, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the reservation, with no arrests yet.

He also says the protestors appear to be young members of AIM…the American Indian Movement…mostly from outside the area and who have the backing of tribal leaders on the reservation.

The fourth installment in the national bestselling Sons of Destiny series.

Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years apart to the day-they fulfill the Curse of Eight Prophecy, and are thus exiled to Nightfall Isle, in Jean Johnson's "thoroughly romantic and wildly entertaining"* series.

Evanor lost his powers-and his voice-in a terrible battle that defeated his family's greatest enemy and gave his sister-in-law her freedom. The advanced magical healing that would restore his voice and powers is beyond their means-but not beyond the ability of the lovely healer Mariel. Mariel can restore what was torn from Evanor-and possibly repair her own broken heart in the process.

What kind of clothes should I pack for my winter trip to Paris?

by Parisgirl on December 4, 2008

by Parisgirl | December 4th, 2008

It doesn’t matter that you may never see a snowflake in Paris, from December to April, a good pair of stylish boots will make you feel very much at home on Paris streets. Flat boots or boots with heels – either are fine (but if you’re walking a lot, you’ll be happy you chose flat boots!)
A cozy long cashmere scarf to keep the damp winter weather at bay is a basic of almost every Parisian’s winter wardrobe.

Leather gloves if you can afford them – but any sort of gloves are useful for long walks in Paris parks. During cold season, you’ll also be happy to have a pair of gloves when you take the Metro. Less chance of picking up cold germs from your fellow passengers.

Only bring jeans that are well-cut and fit you perfectly – otherwise – choose either black , gray or dark brown ensembles i.e pantsuits, or heavy knit tunics, crocheted pullovers teamed up with skinny pants or leggings.

Plaid Flannel shirts or Cream-colored silk shirts. Your choice.
Yes, really.

The classic little black dress.

A gold bangle. No need to wear much jewelry – which you want to avoid when you travel anyhow, but a gold bangle or a simple gold ring is a signature accessory of Paris’s BCBG (bon chic, bon genre).

Umbrella. Rather than pack an umbrella, this might be another souvenir you’ll want to pick up from one of Paris’s specialty boutiques – where the umbrellas (some of which are made in Normandy can be quite elegant).

Leave the fur coat at home. Fur is not cool in Paris.

Leather jackets never seem to go out of style for men as well as women. (Bomber-style jackets are currently being worn).

Textured stockings. This season is all about showing off your legs (if you happen to be female). Super short skirts and winter shorts are seen much more often than in past years – when it seemed like the sober pantsuits would never disappear. Parisians love their lace-textured legwear adding just a ‘soupcon’ of all the satin and lace that remains ALMOST out of view. If you pick up one souvenir for yourself in Paris, take home a pair of these sexy stockings (easy to pack) and will make you feel like you’re still in Paris – long after the trip.

A Huge Handbag – with room for camera, Plan de Paris, laptop, etc. Parisians have had an ongoing love-affair with their Lancel handbags – but for those of us who don’t have a budget for designer ware, you can find plenty of handbags in the outdoor markets (such as Edgar Quinet’s Wednesday and Saturday market (Metro: Edgar Quinet) at very reasonable prices.

Packing for Men

An extremely well-cut jacket (called ‘une veste’) to wear with jeans.

High quality leather shoes – or if you have to wear trainers, choose black or red.

Leather jacket or black trench.

Leave the khaki pants at home.

Cashmere scarf or Cotton ‘desert style’ for a more casual look.

Ties – depending on the purpose of your trip. If it’s a business trip, 100 percent silk ties (pastel shades are fine)

>> Check out Why Go? France’s winter packing suggestions too!

Happy Packing!

Grand Marais climber abandons quest to reach top of Mount McKinley

Email Sign up for Breaking News Alerts

outdoors Park Rapids, 56470

Park Rapids Minnesota PO Box 111 56470

Grand Marais climber Lonnie Dupre has given up his bid to become the first solo climber to reach the summit of Mount McKinley in January.

He left his camp at 14,200 feet Wednesday morning and made camp at 10,000 feet that evening on his way back to base camp, expedition manager Tom Suprenant reported in an e-mail Wednesday night.

The decision to give up a possible summit attempt on the 20,320-foot Alaskan peak came just a day after Dupre, 49, took advantage of a break in the weather to come down from a camp at 17,200 feet. He had spent six nights and five days at that height, pinned down by high winds and temperatures down to 50 below zero. He had lost "considerable strength and conditioning" during that wait, Suprenant said.

Tuesday's descent was difficult for Dupre, Suprenant said.

"It took all he had because of his physical condition," Suprenant said. "It was a real hard descent. He said, 'I didn't realize how weak I was.' "

Suprenant said Dupre's trip down from 17,200 feet on Tuesday was done in snowy conditions but with relatively light winds. The trip took him eight hours, Suprenant said.

"He had a cold night of sleep last night (Tuesday night)," Suprenant said. "I just don't think he has enough energy to keep warm."

Dupre had to cross a crevasse field between 14,200 feet and 13,500 feet on his descent, Suprenant said, and then round Windy Corner, known for the way wind funnels through a notch in the mountain. He is ultimately bound for base camp on the Kahiltna Glacier at 7,200 feet.

Once again, Dupre will be harnessed into a 14-foot ladder designed to bridge a crevasse if he accidentally finds himself in one. He will also be pulling a sled with his food, fuel and supplies.

Winter ascents of Mount McKinley (also known as Denali) are difficult because of short daylight hours, extreme cold and high winds.

Only nine expeditions totaling 16 people have reached the summit in winter. Six deaths resulted from those climbs. Only one team has made the summit in January. Two Russians in a team of three climbers made that successful ascent in 1998.

The legendary ska, punk and fusion band Fishbone will launch Mountain Town Music’s 2014 summer concert season with a performance at Canyons Resort on
The legendary ska, punk and fusion band Fishbone will launch Mountain Town Music's 2014 summer concert season with a performance at Canyons Resort on Saturday. The concert is part of Canyons' summer season opener and is free to the public. (Steady Jenny)
This year will be another Summer of Love, said Brian Richards, Community Conductor of Musical Affairs for Mountain Town Music, a nonprofit organization that presents free concerts in venues located throughout Park City and Summit County.

"We love music," Richards said during an interview with The Park Record. "We love our community. We love the beautiful settings that we enjoy the music in. We love the people whom we share these musical moments with."

Mountain Town Music's concert season will kick off Saturday at 6 p.m. with Fishbone, the legendary Los Angeles-based ska, funk, punk and rock-fusion band, during Canyons Resort's summer-opening celebration.

"Canyons wanted something a little edgy, but nothing that will turn away the older demographic," Richards explained. "Fishbone works because there are a lot of people who grew up listening to them, myself included, and yet the younger generation can vibe to them as well. So it's a great way to start the summer."

In addition to Canyons, Mountain Town Music presents concerts at Deer Valley's Snow Park Amphitheater, Newpark Town Center, Coalville, Peoa, Park Silly Sunday Market and Miners Park on Main Street.

"The cool thing about all of our stages is that they are all unique and have their own flavor," Richards said.

Last year, Mountain Town started a series at the outdoor amphitheater at Billy Blanco's restaurant, located at Quarry Village at Pinebrook.

"This was a great opportunity for us to kickstart the music scene out there, because of Mountain Town Music's history with that venue," Richards said.

Before Mountain Town Music was established, it was known as Mountain Town Stages and was directed by Randy Barton, who is now the Egyptian Theatre manager.

"Randy helped build that stage out in Pinebrook and it was one of his babies," Richards said. "He programmed the initial concerts."

Throughout the years, the stage was run by Park City Concerts and afterwards fell into disuse until Bill White of Bill White Enterprises opened a new restaurant last year called Billy Blanco's.

"Bill had a vision for the restaurant and what he was going for with the cars and motorcycles - he wanted a family friendly joint with some edge," Richards said. "He also understood the importance of live music and the draw that it has, especially with the Pinebrook/Jeremy Ranch community."

Of the things White wanted was a Sunday concert series and the first concerts at Billy Blanco's kicked off last year.

"It came about quite quickly, and was a great season, but this year we wanted to rev the series up, so to speak, and select bands who play music that really fits the restaurant, [including] cool rock 'n' roll bands and artists that will blow the roof off the joint," Richards said. "We had more time to think about what type of music will fit and complement Billy Blanco's vibe."

Mountain Town Music has booked regional and national touring artists as well as local bands, but the idea was to present artists that the community isn't used to seeing.

"The series starts off with Jeff Crosby from Idaho and features acts ranging from Park City staples Muddpuddle to local guitar slinger Jake Johnson and to top things off, one of the bands that will play is Zongo Junction on July 27.

"They are a 10-piece Afro beat band from Brooklyn, New York," Richards said. "The stage isn't even big enough to fit them all, so there will be three or four of the band members on the stage and the rest will play in front of the stage - it's going to be bonkers!"

Richards likes the venue because it's located just over Parley's Summit.

"It's in a convenient location because there are tons of people who live in the Jeremy Ranch/Pinebrook area, plus people can drive up from Salt Lake," he said. "It's super easy for people to catch some rock 'n' roll and get some good eats."

The audience doesn't have to be limited to these areas, he said

"We encourage people from all over Summit County, Heber, Coalville, Oakley to come check out the bands we have playing there this summer," Richards said. "There is so much potential out there, the amphitheater is cool and there is a niche out in the neighborhood to be served. Plus, the restaurant pipes in the live music, so people who are dining inside can hear the bands too."

While Billy Blanco's is a highlight venue for Mountain Town Music, Richards doesn't have a favorite place to see concerts.

"If you put high-quality music on a stage, there will be an audience," he said. "We have done this for a while and take great pride in providing a ridiculously cool musical experience no matter where the stage is. People know the bands they go to see are going to be sweet whether they know the name or not."

Some of Richards don't miss picks for the summer are Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds and Jabuki at Newpark, Headshine and Danny Black at Miners Park, Gleewood at Peoa, The Slide Brothers and Trigger Hippy (a jam-band super group featuring Jackie Greene, Joan Osborne and Steve Gorman) at Canyons and The Dirty Bourbon River Show at Park Silly Sunday Market.

Then there is the Grand Valley Bank Community Concert series at Deer Valley's Snow Park Amphitheater on Wednesdays, beginning on June 18.

"This is a series that has grown every year," Richards said. "This series is something that the community has taken ownership of, and we continue to let the public vote on what bands they want to see."

Out of the 11 bands playing this year, seven of them will make their Snow Park debut.

"That's awesome, because, considering that they are all local bands, to give them the opportunity to play the same stage that Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan has performed on is a pretty cool," Richards said.

Booking all the bands for all the stages can be a daunting task, but Richards said he just lets it all flow.

"It's a very organic process, and I love listening to new bands," he said. "When I get an email from someone I've never heard, I can't wait to hear what they sound like.

"This is all a labor of love, and when you love what you do and you know the end game will affect the community in such a positive and groovy way, it doesn't seem so daunting," Richards said. "We're almost there. In a week, we'll all be out soaking up the sun in the beautiful mountains seeing kids hula-hooping and others dancing or sitting on a blanket enjoying the music. This year, 2014, by far, is the best lineup that we have put together."
