The Art Of Elegance
byKristin Chenoweth
Format: Audio CDChange

Tom Altizer
5.0 out of 5 stars Aptly titled album of standards
Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
This is the album Chenoweth was born to make. These standards are revisited quite often but rarely with such care and feeling. "I'ce Got A Crush On You" and "The Very Thought of You" both with Dave Koz are really lovely but then, so is the rest of "The Art of Elegance." Chenoweth makes "A House Is Not a Home" her own in her powerful version here. She never overdoes any of this material, instead letting her amazing voice find nuance and feeling in every song. If you enjoy The Great American Songbook and flawless execution, you'll love this recording. More of the same Ms. Chenoweth, please!
5.0 out of 5 stars I can't stop gushing, this is just a beautiful, delightful CD, and Kristin's voice? Possibly the Eight Wonder of the World :)
My family and I have just adored Kristin since (IIRC! She is one of those people you feel like you have known forever) she was at OCU here in Oklahoma City, and I truly think she just keeps getting better, which is no easy feat when it comes to singing. She has a God-given gift but she also trained and worked hard to hone that gift into something so beautiful. Her passion and love of song can be felt in every note.
"The Art of Elegance" is something every generation can really enjoy, my Dad is 77 years young & still has every record he ever bought, still in pristine condition, and his face just lit up when he saw the track listing! So we sat & listened, it was like a wonderful trip back in time for my Dad, and he too was blown away by the quality. First of course by Kristin's amazing voice, which is classic - she could be dropped into any decade (or heck, even any century! See her "Coming Home" DVD, there is a beautiful song from the 1850's in the Bonus section, I really recommend buying that too!), and by the musicians who accompany her, and the quality of the recording. I agree, all of this is just absolutely stellar and lovely.
I am sorry this is sort of a scattered review, I just am really loving this CD (and a bit sleepy :0)). Kristin and the great people she works with have an amazing knack at choosing the absolute right songs, and Kristin is a Master at making even something you have heard many times before seem new. And as usual, it always amazes me to hear this amazing voice come from such a tiny human :0) The only thing I could wish for is that my Grandparents were here to listen to "The Art Of Elegance", as I know my Grandmothers, both of whom were pianists, one sang on the radio in Oklahoma City in the 1940's, would love this wonderful collection of songs. Really well done, as always, Kristin, this is exactly what so many of us who have had a less-than-stellar year need - I am just transported to another time when I listen... and I am very grateful to have this music!! Brava!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really love her take on the old standards.
I just received Kristen Chenowith's new CD and I love it. It is the old standards, and she does them beautifully. I have many of the same selections on old Linda Ronstadt CDs, but Chenowith puts a new twist on some, and it is certainly a CD worth having.
Rex Kullmann
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Well Done
I don't usually write reviews for media. Everyone has their own taste and what suits me will have very little to do with what suits you. So what's the value in me telling you I like something? But this album is especially well done, and I'd like to say why I think that.
Art of Elegance is a collection of standards. Someone to Watch Over Me and Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered are highlights for me, but every title here is a well known and loved standard. Each of these songs has been covered many times, yet this collection stands out.
I believe that singing is just another type of acting job. And these songs are well acted. Ms. Chenoweth avoids excessive flourishes and showy decorations and in so doing she gives these songs much more real emotion and a sense of honesty than they would have had otherwise. In other words, she uses her considerable talent to serve the material rather than to demonstrate what she can do. Thank you Kristin!
This is an easy listening album, but it never lapses into dinner music (except maybe during the piano solo in Smile). The production is great. The engineering sounds perfect to me, but I confess I'm half way to having old man hearing. :-(
If you like this style of music, give Art of Elegance a listen. And let's hope there's a follow-up.
The Movie Man
VINE VOICE
5.0 out of 5 stars A great collection of standards by a superb singer...
This is a great selection of American popular standards performed beautifully by Ms. Chenoweth. She sings the verses to the songs as well as the well-known melodies, which set the stage for the lyric sentiments to follow. Her voice, of course, is extraordinary, but she has a respect for the songs by such giants as George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, and Hoagy Carmichael, as well as more modern song writers such as Burt Bacharach and Frank Sinatra.
Highlights are "Skylark," "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart," "A House Is Not a Home," and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered." When Ms. Chenoweth has this kind of material to work with, she soars.
Neal W. Griebling
5.0 out of 5 stars A sublime voice!
I really can't say how I found out about Kristen, but I'm sure glad I did. She is an amazing singer: impeccable phrasing and intonation, awesome range, and great chops! She makes songs come alive. She is a master of the ballad; I hope she will choose a few upbeat selections in the future.
Philip D. Atkins
5.0 out of 5 stars Love it.
Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase
It's the music you want to listen to when you're feeling forlorn or when you're about to make an amazingly romantic dinner. She retains that crystal clarity with diction to die for. Classics and a must for your collection. Love it.

I love Kristin Chenoweth and had just seen her live when I saw this album was coming out, so I preordered it. At first I was a little thrown by how 'slow' the music is--KChen can BELT and I was expecting a showier twist on at least a couple of the tracks. But after a few listens I've come to love this and it's got a permanent place in my car's CD player.
Wm Reeves Gilmore
5.0 out of 5 stars Chenoweth's voice in my yeoman opinion has never been better. and the orchestrations are exceptional
Amid the sturm und drang of this world, this collection of classic songs sung by Chenoweth's crystal voice is a welcomed respite. The quiet between the words is almost as enchanting as the words themselves - a sense of expectation. Chenoweth's voice in my yeoman opinion has never been better. and the orchestrations are exceptional. Looking for elegance in this world? Look no further.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Enjoyable Album
I enjoy the songs in this album. They are classics which are ageless. Songs include Someone Watch to Over Me, A House is Not a Home, and Let's Fall in Love. Ms. Chenoweth sings them with feeling and the professionalism she has developed during in her career.

olam-international-and-sanya-foods-form-joint-venture-in-nigeria-to-manufacture-and-distribute-instand-noodles
Olam International and Sanyo Foods form Joint Venture in Nigeria to Manufacture and Distribute Instant Noodles
Press release 8th May, 2013
Sanyo Foods will acquire a 25.5% stake in Olam's instant noodles business in Nigeria for US$20 million
Both partners will look to expand together into sub-Saharan Africa
Olam International Limited ("Olam") and Sanyo Foods Co. Ltd of Japan ("Sanyo Foods") today announced that they have agreed to set up a joint venture company ("JV") in Nigeria to manufacture and distribute instant noodles in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa.
Sanyo Foods will invest US$20 million in cash, for a 25.5% equity interest through issue of new shares by the JV that will house Olam's instant noodles assets and business in Nigeria. Olam will hold the balance majority ownership of 74.5% in the JV with management control. The consideration has been arrived between both parties on a willing-buyer willing-seller basis. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
Founded in 1953, Sanyo Foods is a global leader and Japan's third largest player in the instant noodles business. It has established a leadership presence in China, Vietnam, Russia and North America through strategic partnerships.

Tingyi Holdings is currently the market leader in China with 24 production facilities across the country.
Olam's instant noodles business, under the "Cherie" brand, was part of Crown Flour Mills' wheat milling business which Olam acquired in January 2010. Olam is now amongst the top 4 players in instant noodles in Nigeria with an extensive distribution network and marketing infrastructure across the country and a turnover of US$24 million in FY2012.
The JV will draw on the strengths of both partners with Olam's expanding marketing and distribution network across Nigeria and its pan-Africa presence as well as Sanyo Foods' world-class and innovative technology in the development and manufacturing of instant noodle products, and new market development experience.
Olam's President and Global Head of the Packaged Foods Business, M Ramanarayanan said: "We are extremely excited about the next phase of growth for our instant noodles business in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa. Our partnership with Sanyo Foods would enable us grow the instant noodles business at a much faster rate with new products and new flavours to delight our consumers."
Sanyo Foods' President Junichiro Ida concurred: "Sanyo Foods celebrates its sixtieth anniversary this year. In this memorable year, we are thrilled to announce the proposed joint venture company and to form a strategic alliance with Olam, to set foot in the sub-Saharan Africa market. We believe that enormous synergy can be generated by matching Sanyo Foods' product development and technical capability with Olam's existing production facility and strong distribution network."

UN deal reached to limit, offset global aviation emissions
Stephen Edelstein October 10, 2016 Comment Now!
After much discussion, the United Nations' aviation agency plans to set limits on emissions from international airline flights.
The agreement ratified by members of the UN International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) sets airlines' carbon emissions in the year 2020 as the ceiling of the total amount that will be legally allowed.
Airlines that exceed those limits in subsequent years will have to offset them through the purchase of credits, or by investing in projects that limit greenhouse-gas emissions.
DON'T MISS: First-Ever Emissions Rules For Airplanes Proposed By U.N.
The plan marks a major step to address carbon emissions from aviation, which have received much less attention from regulators than emissions from road vehicles.
But it may take time for the full benefit to be felt.
Most airlines are expected to exceed the emissions cap, at least initially, notes The New York Times (subscription required).

The agreement's success also relies on countries independently working to implement it.
The first phase of the agreement—covering 2021 to 2027—is voluntary, but countries will be required to participate in the second phase, which covers 2028 to 2035.
Full compliance for both phases could eliminate 2.5 billion tons of carbon emissions, according to the Environmental Defense Fund.
ALSO SEE: Coming up next: emission standards for airplanes
So far, 65 countries have indicated they will participate in the initial, voluntary phase.
That includes the U.S., China, and the 44 nations that make up the European Union's aviation conference.
Russia has no current plans to participate in the voluntary phase, and India has expressed "reservations" over certain aspects of the agreement, according to The New York Times.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
The agreement does have the backing of the airline industry, which may be expecting the added cost of compliance to be offset by fuel savings.
It only applies to international flights, which account for around 60 percent of aviation.
Emissions from domestic flights fall under the Paris climate-change accord signed by U.N. members last year.
MORE: EU proposes deep cuts to vehicle emissions, ignores ships, airplanes
International flights were left out of that agreement because airlines complained that they would have been forced to deal with regulations country by country.
The global nature of the airline industry has made setting emissions limits challenging.
Aviation currently accounts for around 2 percent of global carbon emissions, but but many analysts believe that share could triple by the middle of the century if projected growth in air travel occurs.

"Ten Minutes for Refreshments and Divorce!" | Comedian Punches Drummer.
We give in our present number a correct sketch of one of the largest specimens of the Porpoise that has ever been seen. It was sketched by our artist as it laid on pier No 13. Its measurement is about twenty-five feet in length, and weighs two thousand eight hundred and sixty pounds. It was caught by Captain Leyfield, of the Patapsoot, in the Saginaw river, and was brought on here by him as a curiosity fit to astonish even a New Yorker.
It is now at the store of Mr. Rowe, 15 Albany street.

Saint-Romain-le-Noble est une commune du Sud-Ouest de la France métropolitaine, située dans le département de Lot-et-Garonne (région Nouvelle-Aquitaine).

Géographie

Localisation
Commune située sur la ligne Bordeaux - Sète entre Agen et Castelsarrasin, proche du département de Tarn-et-Garonne.

Communes limitrophes

Au sud-est, la commune de Lamagistère (Tarn-et-Garonne) n'est qu'à une centaine de mètres du territoire communal.

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat du Bassin du Sud-Ouest », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique altéré » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Il s'agit d'une zone de transition entre le climat océanique et les climats de montagne et semi-continental. Les écarts de température entre hiver et été augmentent avec l'éloignement de la mer. La pluviométrie est plus faible qu'en bord de mer, sauf aux abords des reliefs.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Agen-La Garenne », sur la commune d'Estillac, mise en service en 1941 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000, à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Saint-Romain-le-Noble est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction d'Agen, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  à moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (73,5 % en 2018), néanmoins en diminution par rapport à 1990 (81,7 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
zones agricoles hétérogènes (51,9 %), terres arables (15,8 %), forêts (14,2 %), zones urbanisées (8,6 %), prairies (5,8 %), eaux continentales (3,7 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Saint-Romain-le-Noble est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse), inondations, mouvements de terrains et séisme (sismicité très faible). Il est également exposé à deux risques technologiques,  le transport de matières dangereuses et le risque nucléaire. Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Risques naturels
La commune fait partie du territoire à risques importants d'inondation (TRI) d'Agen, regroupant  concernées par un risque de débordement de la Garonne, un des  qui ont été arrêtés fin 2012 sur le bassin Adour-Garonne. Les événements antérieurs à 2014 les plus significatifs sont les crues de 1435, 1875, 1930, 1712, 1770 et 1952. Des cartes des surfaces inondables ont été établies pour trois scénarios : fréquent (crue de temps de retour de  à ), moyen (temps de retour de  à ) et extrême (temps de retour de l'ordre de , qui met en défaut tout système de protection). La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982, 1993, 1999, 2009 et 2021.

A bush and beach combination journey where you will travel in style and will explore Cape Town, safari in the exclusive Sabi Sand, and stay on a tropical beach in Mozambique. The perfect well-rounded honeymoon and the coming together of safari, cultures, cuisines, and discoveries.

What makes safari honeymoons so romantic is the tranquility of the African bush. These holidays allow for a time of reflection and casual conversation as it seems as if time has somehow slowed down just for you.
The hospitality at safari lodges is authentic too – the relationships with the staff you meet will mean something, and thus it makes them a part of this experience with you.

Charles Mingus, had he lived, would have been 85 this year. Despite the fact that he is no longer around, his music has an uncanny longevity and his music is more influential today than it has ever been. In a special feature, Jazzwise this month looks at the life and music of Charles Mingus as the repertory band named after him, the Mingus Big Band, prepares to come to the UK for a major tour and a raft of reissues are released.
Mingus biographer Brian Priestley sets Mingus in the context of his times and explains the revolutionary impact Mingus' innovations had on the jazz of his day, while Keith Shadwick talks to Sue Mingus about her work in perpetuating the music of her husband.
Frequent are the mentions, in Jazzwise and elsewhere, of players citing Mingus as an inspiration, or reviewers noting his influence on someone else's work. It's certainly not only to rebels that Mingus appeals, though that's undoubtedly a factor in his personality, which we'll come to later. Energy and passion are just an aspect of the reason why people are drawn to Mingus. Hearing his music is also uplifting because the music is demanding – for listeners and performers alike – and so, when it comes out right, it's uplifting and fulfilling. But there's also the attraction that no single way of playing his pieces is the "right" one, since he himself frequently reworked his own themes, and numerous versions of related material resulted.
This is easily confirmed by people already hooked on Mingus, who tend to view "Mingus music" as a separate world unto itself – and it's true there's a whole world there to get lost in. But, of course, there are parallels between Mingus and other musicians, specifically the ones who have tried to solve the problem of how to be a "jazz composer". Not just someone who writes a head and sits back to claim royalties, without doing anything noteworthy to stimulate the contributions of the actual performers. Though such writers often get referred to as composers, perhaps "songwriter" is a more apt description. The kind of composer that Mingus triumphantly was, relatively few others aspire to be – to be – and, of those that aspire, few succeed.
In Mingus' generation, perhaps only George Russell and Sun Ra can also be said to have attempted compositional methods sufficiently open that the musicians involved are virtually forced to engage their own creativity, rather than just filling an allotted space. When the Mingus approach comes off, the results are not only thrilling but they reflect the players' personalities, just as much as the composer's personality. Mingus was quite explicit about this being a desirable outcome – when he was assembling his first distinctive band, sideman Jackie McLean was still young enough to be copying Parker licks. But he recalled Mingus telling him, "I don't want Charlie Parker, I want Jackie".
In one way, that isn't far removed from the achievement of open minded bandleaders not known for their writing, such as the early Count Basie, or even Miles through most of his career – with the difference that Mingus' written input is highly distinctive. In this, his great inspiration was Duke Ellington, the great patriarch of the Basie generation who showed the world how to give individualistic sidemen their heads yet made the collective results sound "typically" Ellingtonian. Even today, some people still express surprise that the kind of super-precise ensemble work developed in the swing era – and beloved by fans of big-band sounds – was sometimes lacking in Duke's band. But he valued his players' personalities more than card-punching precision, and the lesson was not lost on Mingus.

'Fall for Idaho': tourism sees rough patch amid COVID surge, hopeful for winter season

By Betsy Russell - Idaho Press
Idaho was just three days into its "Fall for Idaho" tourism promotion campaign when crisis standards of care were declared statewide due to hospitals overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients — and the state slammed on the brakes.
The marketing campaign was put on pause for a month. "Things are moving quickly. We've had to make a lot of adjustments over the last 18, 19 months," said Matt Borud, marketing and innovation administrator for the Idaho Department of Commerce. "To understand what was happening, we felt like it was prudent for us to pause the campaign."
The planned $800,000 fall campaign, which was focused on mostly digital marketing of outdoor Idaho adventures, started September 13, halted September 16, and then restarted October 13. It's now on track to run right up until the bigger winter tourism marketing campaign, which focuses in large part on the ski season, launches November 8.
The stop-and-start is emblematic of what tourism marketers have been facing around the country and the world since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. "We haven't really been doing the 'Everybody come to Idaho,' that kind of thing, really since COVID," Borud said. "Not very many destinations have. That's difficult messaging right now."
Instead, Idaho has focused on marketing its outdoor experiences and road trips, which long have been a big part of Idaho's tourist appeal. "It's our bread and butter," Borud said. "It's what folks travel to the state primarily to experience."
It's been working well: Idaho's hotel/motel tax revenues, which took a deep hit during the shutdown at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, have now rebounded to beyond pre-pandemic levels.

"I think Idaho is in a really unique place as far as the tourism dynamic goes," said Professor Nathan Line, Cecil B. Day Distinguished Professor at Florida State University's Dedman School of Hospitality. "You have on the one hand the tourism industry, who wants to promote tourism. You have visitors, both in state and out of state, that want to visit Idaho. And then you have a medical community that is completely overwhelmed. And there's some fine lines there in terms of the extent to which it would make sense to spend money on promoting the state of Idaho extensively, bringing in more people that could potentially be sick and then have nowhere to go. What if they get in a car wreck? It may not be COVID-related at all."
But Line said it "makes sense" to promote "all the great things that Idaho has to do that are inherently socially distanced," while also noting COVID protocols. And that's just what Idaho's been doing.
"When I think of tourism in Idaho, I don't think of big sporting events and big cities," Line said. "As an outsider, if I'm thinking about Idaho, I'm thinking about being outside, I'm thinking about hiking, skiing. … The upside to that is those are activities that tourists can engage in in a relatively safe way. So I think it makes absolute sense to continue to promote tourism in Idaho."

Tourism is Idaho's third-largest industry, according to the Idaho Department of Commerce. The U.S. Travel Association estimates that Idaho's $3.7 billion tourism industry employs more than 45,800 Idahoans.
Borud said Idaho typically has three major tourism promotions a year; fall is the smallest. The winter campaign is budgeted at about $1.1 million; summer is the largest, at $2.8 million. Funding comes directly from the state's 2% lodging tax.
Like most other businesses, tourism took a deep dive when the pandemic hit Idaho in March of 2020. But the summer of 2020 became known as the "summer of the road trip," Borud said, as COVID-conscious travelers avoided flying and other mass transit in favor of staying in their own cars. "That lined out really well for us as well, because road tripping is a big draw for visitors to Idaho," he said. "It gave us an opportunity to promote our scenic byways" and attractions along the way"
In October of 2020, Idaho's monthly bed tax collections eclipsed pre-pandemic 2019 levels. "That was the first time we had shown year-over-year monthly growth since the onset of the pandemic," Borud said. "We were up in October and November, still back down a little in December-January. But really from about February on, we've been up."
For the fiscal year that started July 1, "We're up 65% over our last fiscal year, and 36% over fiscal year 2019," Borud said.

Boise Centre rebound

The Boise Centre, the convention center in downtown Boise operated by the Greater Boise Auditorium District, saw a huge decline in convention and business travel when the pandemic hit. "Leisure (travel) is what pulled us through the summer-fall of 2020, as well as spring of '21, and frankly the entire summer," said Patrick Rice, executive director of the Boise Centre. "Leisure numbers across the state pretty much broke records through the pandemic in eastern and northern Idaho, but not here. Our region saw… the largest decline in taxable revenues through the pandemic months."
[Paved parking lot, new chairs, snowmaking: Bogus preps for winter with upgrades]
After everything shut down on March 13, 2020, Rice said the Boise Centre transformed itself into a warehouse and food distribution site for the Idaho Foodbank. It wasn't until August that it hosted its first convention after that.
Shifting gears as the pandemic worsened in Idaho in the fall of 2020 and limits on the size of gatherings went back into effect, the Boise Centre put together a "virtual studio" to host online conventions. "It was very popular," Rice said. "The studio was very well-done, and a lot of companies took advantage of it."
From February through March of this year, with the approval of the local health district, the center turned to hosting cheer and dance competitions. "We've never been a market for that," Rice said. "We don't have locker rooms and showers and makeup areas and that sort of thing, but the groups wanted to use the building and they took good care of it."

This spring, the center started marketing that it was open, and touting its cleaning protocols, pricey thermal imaging scanners it acquired that can accurately check the temperatures of three people per second, and other COVID safety protocols.
"We give clients the option, whatever protocols they want in place," while also complying with all local and Centers for Disease Control requirements, Rice said. The Boise Centre was the first business in Idaho to get Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) accreditation for high-level standards of cleanliness and maintenance, which it received in December of 2020.
Convention business started coming back over the summer, and just over a week ago, the Boise Centre hosted the Boise Metro Chamber's gala with more than 500 people. At the group's request, attendees were seated at six-person tables, rather than the standard 10, for more physical distancing.
"We've had a few groups fall out this fall," Rice said, including some national conventions that canceled "just because of the delta variant being what it is." The Festival of Trees, a big winter holiday event, was called off, as were some local groups' Christmas parties.
But for the most part, he said, the center has been busy. Conventions are "not back to where they were in 2019, but I can tell you, 2022, at least on the books, it's a record year."
"Everything is a big 'if' right now," Rice noted. "We'll see what happens."
Hopeful for what's ahead
Borud said the money that didn't get spent during the month-long hiatus in the state's fall tourism marketing program isn't lost; it just rolls over to later in the year.
"Folks are talking about maybe some La Niña conditions, a little wetter, little warmer, which is sometimes when we have a longer ski season," he said. "If our ski season stretches into March or even April, that's one potential use – to maybe extend our winter campaign a little bit."
Rice said his sales team has been attending trade shows and marketing meetings since June. "Boise is a very, very hot market right now," he said. "People want to come here." Conventions already are booking for 2023 and 2024, he said. "2023 is actually starting to look like a really good year already."

Suzuki is set to show off a new take on the classic dune-buggy concept.
The Japanese carmaker will debut its electric e-Survivor concept at the 2017 Tokyo motor show.
Suzuki's concept features a high-riding buggy stance and an open two-seater cabin that plays into the brand's theme for the show, "Excitment for everyone, in everywhere."
Beneath the lightweight open-fendered bodywork, the e-Survivor retains a rugged ladder frame chassis, with drive supplied to all four wheels via an independent four wheel drive system with an in-wheel motor at each corner.
Suzuki has drawn inspiration from its SUV range with the concept displaying almost a complete lack of front and rear overhangs, which will give it extreme approach and departure angles.
The e-Survivor offers a forward glimpse at how a future compact off-roader from the brand might look, while paying tribute to iconic styling of the Jimny and Vitara.
Suzuki will also show two concept versions of its boxy Spacia kei-car, one with a distinctly retro theme, and the other with a more modern, chrome-laden appearance.
Suzuki will also show its funky side with the XBee (pronounced cross bee), a micro-sized crossover displayed in regular, wood-panelled Outdoor Adventure, or more racey Street Adventure trims.

Home Musicians Enya Wiki, Husband, Net Worth and Her Music Career
Enya Wiki, Husband, Net Worth and Her Music Career
Talk about the perfect oxymoron, Enya is as famous as she is reclusive. There is no other musician in the world who has reached the heights of the Irish singer without ever selling a concert – never. As Ireland's biggest ever solo artist with over 75 million albums sold, Enya is definitely a mystery.
The multi-award-winning singer began participating in music events and festivals at the age of three. She owes her success above all to her parents, her extended family, and her extremely musical upbringing.
Enya's Early Life In Ireland
Enya was born on 17 May 1961 in a predominantly Irish-speaking part of Ireland as Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin (anglicized as Enya Patricia Brennan). Her father and mother, Leo and Máire, both played in an Irish showband called the Slieve Foy Band. While Leo also ran a tavern, Máire was a music teacher at Gweedore Community School in Gweedore, a town where her maternal grandfather was the founder of the local theatre.
At the age of 3, Enya took part in a singing competition at Feis Coecil, an annual music festival. She also sang musical comedies in her grandfather's theatre and sang in her mother's choir at St Mary's Church in Derryberg. She also began playing the piano and learning English at the age of four. At the age of eleven, her father sent her to a strict convent boarding school. Here she developed a passion for classical music and art. She would eventually devote a year to classical music in the hope of becoming a piano teacher, as she was never a fan of the stage.

After college, she joined the family band Clannad at the invitation of band manager Nicky Ryan. She played keyboard for the band and was a backup singer. Two albums later Nicky began to notice her musical independence. This led to Enya, Nicky and his wife Roma leaving Clannad in 1982 to help build the singer's solo career. They scraped together some money to build a recording facility, the Aigle Studio.
Music Career And Private Life
Enya's first solo appearance came in 1983 at the National Stadium in Dublin for an RTE music show called Festival Folk. At that time Enya was still very nervous at public appearances and almost never came on stage. In 1984 two of Enya's piano instrumental pieces were included in a scrapbook of artists under the Touch label.
Her portfolio continued to grow as she wrote nine titles for the 1984 romantic film comedy The Frog King. The film soundtrack – where she first became known as Enya – was released commercially the following year under Island Visual Arts. She then wrote the entire soundtrack for the BBC2 documentary series The Celts. This was released in 1987 in the UK by BBC Records (and Atlantic Records in the US) as her first solo album, entitled Enya. The album was relatively successful and reached number 69 in the UK album charts. She also received a $3 million settlement after threatening a lawsuit against The Fugees for sampling her single without permission and without her recognition.
The success of the album led to her signing a £75,000 deal with Warner Music UK. The label gave her artistic freedom, with minimal interference from the label and no set deadlines. Her first album under the label, Watermark, was released in 1988 with unprecedented success. It reached number 5 in the British charts and number 25 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. This put them under pressure for their second album, Shepherd Moons, which was an even greater success than Watermark, reaching the top of the UK charts and No. 17 in the US. She won her first Grammy for her efforts on Shepherd Moons in the Best New Age Album category.
In the period up to 1997, the musical icon released several others that stormed the charts. These included The Memory of Trees and her first compilation album Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya. During this time Enya was also offered a contract to write the soundtrack for the 1997 movie Titanic – she declined the offer.
The Irish singer's 2000 album, A Day Without Rain, is her best-selling album. The success was mainly spurred by the 9/11 attacks in 2001, as her lead single Only Time was extensively used by a host of television and radio broadcasts for the disaster. She donated the proceeds from the success of the lead single to the International Association of Firefighters.
In the same year, she wrote and recorded two songs on the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. In 2002 she played her hit single May It Be with an orchestra at the 74th Academy Awards, where she won an Oscar for best original song. Since then Enya has released three more solo albums: Amarantine (2005); And Winter Came (2008); and Dark Sky Island (2015).
Enya has traveled around the world during her career to promoting her albums. During these trips, she has performed live and lip-synced at the talk and music shows and events. However, she has never done a concert tour for any of her albums – never. Not even when fans all over the world longed for it. According to her producer, Nicky Ryan, she once refused a fee of almost £500,000 in 1996 to play a single concert in Japan.
The singer explained that the overtime she worked in the studio to record her albums left her little or no time to think about another project. She also stated that her reluctance was due to the difficulty of recreating her studio-oriented sound for the stage.
Enya has also performed for global personalities such as Pope John Paul II in Vatican City in December 1995 and the King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf, at his birthday party in April 1996.
In 1997, the successful musician rewarded herself with a gigantic £2.5 million castle in Killiney, County Dublin, Ireland. In 2005 she spent more than £250,000 to improve the security of the castle after two men broke in, attacked one of her maids and stole some valuables.
Who is Enya's Husband?
Nicky Ryan and his wife, Roma Ryan, have worked very exclusively with Enya since the beginning of her career in the 1980s. Enya talks about how she gets inspiration and encouragement from them, but it seems that one thing that hasn't rubbed off on Enya is her love life.
The singer once said in an interview that falling madly in love and getting married was the most horrible thing that ever happened to her. She never considered it a priority and probably never will. It seems that Enya's private lifestyle is incompatible with love and romance, as a result, the singer remains unmarried and is happy with it.
The closest thing to a daughter figure is the two daughters of Nicky and Roma, for whom she is a surrogate aunt.

Before the release of her Dark Sky album in 2015, the singer had sold millions of albums worldwide.
The Sunday Times published her annual list of music millionaires from Britain and Ireland. On the list, Enya was the richest singer, finishing in 28th place. She is also the richest solo artist of all time from the Irish world. According to the celebrity world, Enya's net worth is 140 million dollars.
One can only wonder how wealthy she would have been if she had included touring in her career portfolio.

Ruf was second knight recruited to Daerunt's Royal Knights. He and Mathos Crisar are old friends and at the suggestion of Ser Mathos he was knighted. Ruf is much different than his friend Mathos however, having a much lighter heart, often playing jokes on the other knights. Though he can be silly at times Ruf takes his vows very seriously and would be the first to lay his life on the line for a member of the royal family.


Hello! I can't believe we're halfway through December already. Only two more Wednesdays left, and then it will be 2011. Here is this week's Hump Day Happies.
1. I don't know what it is with me and leafy-type things (and dishes), but I love these pine tree ceramic plates and this matching mug. So cute!
2. These quotes measuring spoons are so cute. Hearts and kitchenware, <3.
3. This room. I would love to have a room like this, filled with books.
4. These "Keep Calm and Carry On" parodies, seen here. My favorite is the one pictured above.
5. This measuring tape headband. How cute is this? Now I just have to learn how to sew before I think about wearing one so that I don't look like a poser, lol.
6. I'm a sucker for puns, and this one is no exception.
7. I love wedding blogs, so I see tons of wedding pictures everyday. I usually like it when wedding parties match, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this wedding, along with their mismatched wedding party picture.
8. These custom tiny text bowls. You can put whatever kind of text you want, and I love the matte finish.
9. Lea Michele. I think she's so cool, and I love these two pictures.

What is The BEO?
What´s included on The BEO?
F.A.Q. en español
NEW SCHOOLS 2019
BEO | ABOUT
An impressive competition and an invigorating adventure awaits in the UK.
Oxford International Education Group are delighted to welcome you to the British English Olympics 2017, which we are sure will prove to be an exciting, challenging, and rewarding 2 weeks. We hope that students and teachers will both enjoy and learn from the event and will return home having made new friends, experienced new places and learnt about British history, life and culture.
Last year's event saw over 100 schools compete fiercely for the right to be crowned BEO champions. The level of the competition was extremely high and it was both a pleasure and a privilege to see so many students produce work of such high calibre, showing an outstanding level of confidence, composure and delivery in the various debates, roleplays and presentations.
Due to an unprecedented demand to compete within the BEO we have spent the last year talking to and visiting schools around the world who we hope will bring even greater quality, diversity and variety to this event. We are confident that this year will see an even higher level of performance from the schools and look forward to witnessing the work that your students will produce next April.
Whilst the BEO is a competition which we hope will push all the schools to produce work of the highest calibre, we also hope that you and your students are able to both enjoy and view the project as a journey of discovery and to learn from all of the experiences over the next six months. We hope that through this journey you will discover the Olympic spirit including values of fraternity, community and fellowship. We wish you well in your endeavours and look forward to welcoming you to the UK in April 2017.
David Brown (Director Oxford International Education Group)
Matthew Hird (Director THE BEO)
The BEO is a unique event attracting bilingual schools from around the world to compete against one another in a series of English language academic challenges.

The hockey pucks that many restaurants and fast food chains try to pass off as biscuits give real southern buttermilk biscuits a bad name. And don't get me started on the peel and pop variety that you get in the refrigerator case of most grocery stores. Real buttermilk biscuits are light and flaky, have many layers created by the butter and lard, and have a soft texture with a crisp outer crust. They also have flavor – something that I've never experienced with the store bought or mass produced varieties.
The best thing about making homemade buttermilk biscuits is how easy they are to throw together. A few simple ingredients, most of which you already have in your pantry, and you are well on your way.
Not all fats are created equal. This recipe calls for 2 fats – butter and lard. Both are animal fats, are completely natural and bring a lot to the party. Butter in parts flavor, but because of the water content it also brings steam which helps those layers to rise and puff. The lard adds to the soft texture of the biscuit, and in a pinch you can use shortening or even solid bacon drippings or tallow. You can not substitute coconut oil, more butter, or any liquid fats. You won't get the right texture and your dough may not come together as you had hoped.
Buttermilk is not the same thing as soured milk. Buttermilk that you purchase in the store is cultured and thick almost yogurt like. It will give you the best flavor for your biscuits. If you have to do a substitution, soured milk (1Tbsp of white vinegar, and then fill the measuring cup with the milk) will do, but you will miss out on some of the flavor. Some websites recommend substituting yogurt or even sour cream when you don't have buttermilk on hand – it doesn't work with this recipe as the dough would be too dry.
Use regular white all purpose flour. Yup, plain white flour. Don't get fancy with the whole wheat or whole grain. You'll have hockey pucks. Ask me how I know. I made an oops last August and made my biscuits for the fair with a whole grain flour. It didn't end well. Our family does not cook nor eat a specifically gluten free diet, therefore I do not know how this recipe will work or if it will even work with gluten free flour. Making a flour substitution and having a bad result is not a reflection on the recipe, but rather on the substitution that was made.
In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, or 2 knives, cut in the butter & lard until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center, and mix in the cold buttermilk. Stir just until everything is incorporated. The dough will be very sticky.
Lightly flour your work surface. Turn out the dough, and fold it over itself 3-4 times (not kneading, but fold the dough in half, press it out, and repeat). Press the dough out by hand until its about an inch thick.
Cut out your biscuits using a floured 2″ biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Place your biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet so that the edges touch. Press the scrap dough back into a round, and cut the remaining biscuits. Keep going until you use up all of the dough.
Bake at 450° for 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, gravy, or just about anything.
My favorite way to have biscuits is split in half and topped with sausage gravy. My children enjoy them with jam for breakfast, but my husband eats them absolutely plain enjoying the natural flavors bite by bite.


One thing we've seen happen as a result of our efforts at Freedom Alliance was perhaps a side effect of the expression of gratitude, and yet we have come to see how important it is. That thing is stronger relationships.
When a married service member receives attention from our organization—whether that is a grant, a vacation, enrollment in Presents for Patriots, or a track chair donation—his or her marriage is somehow bolstered along with the support.
It's become something that Freedom Alliance likes to encourage, because a more durable marriage will carry a couple through many hardships—hardships that are an inevitable part of a combat veteran's journey.
We saw an opportunity this year to support military couples during the Valentine's Day weekend and jumped on it. And in the process we found the most charming romantic getaway: the Essex Inn in Tappahannock, Virginia. A historical bed and breakfast, nestled in a sleepy little river town, steps away from the banks of the Rappahannock, the Essex Inn is the perfect setting for escape and comfort.
The innkeepers, Jeremy and Ric, made special arrangements for our guests, decking the bedrooms with roses and treats and setting the tables for dinner to keep romance in mind. We also put out boxes of Lisa Hoffman scented oils, and children from the local elementary school contributed notes of gratitude.
Upon arrival Friday evening, the guests were offered a wine-tasting from JWSieg Wines of Charlottesville, Virginia, which was followed by a Southern-style dinner of homemade fried chicken, venison ribs, macaroni and cheese, and rice pudding.
The next day, Ric prepared a delicious breakfast spread, while outside there was a fleeting snowfall. After lunch, a masseuse arrived with champagne and strawberries and couples' massages in the rooms.
Later that afternoon, a local musician entertained in the parlor while the guests sipped the inn's very own wassail. Eight-year-old Addie from Richmond recited a patriotic poem and gave out boxes of chocolates, and the evening was capped by a wonderful surf-and-turf dinner.
The final perk of the weekend happened when local photographer Dawn Howeth, of Picture This by Dawn, came to shoot a couples' session, creating a personal remembrance of the weekend for each family.
We hosted four couples for the romantic getaway.
Matt and Bonnie drove from North Carolina, where they live near Fort Bragg. Matt served in the Air Force, but he's had to cope with a hip replacement and constant pain as a result of injuries.
Jeramie and Lindsey were happy to be celebrating Jeramie's second "Alive Day" anniversary. On February 13, 2012, the veteran was in Afghanistan, two days from coming home, when he chased down a runaway truck headed for a fuel pump. He managed to divert the vehicle, saving many lives, but he was inside the cab when the truck tumbled over a steep ledge, resulting in the loss of his right leg.
Lieutenant Commander Jae and his wife, Kim, came from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Kim is an elementary school principal in Annapolis and Jae is recovering from a leg amputation, a consequence of an explosion while on foot patrol in Afghanistan.
Will and Shanelle are also from Walter Reed. Will was deployed to Afghanistan with his engineering brigade; he also lost a leg when he was injured by an explosive. Freedom Alliance gave his father a grant to cover travel expenses in the spring of 2012 so he could visit his son in hospital.
Shanelle told us that she liked hearing about the history of the inn, including ghost stories during that blustery Saturday night, when it started to snow and the lights flickered. She said that alone time with her husband was much appreciated, as well as the opportunity to chat with other military couples who share much of the same experiences as they.
And, the food was so much enjoyed, Lindsey joked that the husbands should take a few cooking lessons from Ric, the inn's master chef!
Indeed, there was a lot of love reflected at the Essex Inn this Valentine's Day. So much so, that we hope to do it all again next year.


We are a healthy school and follow all Government guidance on healthy food options for our children.
All pupils in Year R, Year 1 and Year 2 receive the Universal Free School Meal and are not allowed to have packed lunches. If your child has a dietary need or allergy we will meet with you and the School Cook to resolve the issues so that your child can enjoy a good quality cooked meal in the middle of the day.
All Nursery Pupils have a school meal during their third (summer) term with us to get used to socialising at lunch, using cutlery and trying new foods from our menus. This is compulsory and the usual school meal fees will be charged. You will be advised of this during your child's induction to our school and will receive a reminder letter in the Spring Term.
All pupils in Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 have the option of a cooked school meal or bringing their own packed lunch. Pupils eligible for Free School Meals (as determined by Government Criteria that we are happy to check for you) will receive this meal for free. Any other pupil wishing to have a cooked meal will be charged at the current rate of £2.30 per day. School meals are payable in advance to the school office. The school meal rate can change annually and we will notify you of this in plenty of time.
We do not allow debts to accrue on School Meal Accounts so please be prompt with your payments. If you run into difficulties paying your school meal account we will ask you to provide a packed lunch until your account is clear.
Our cook Mrs Lewis designs exciting and nutritious menus and we would encourage all pupils to have their lunch prepared by school. We provide water and milk with the meal and a healthy dessert of fruit or yoghurt. On special occasions we have themed menus (for example World Book Day, St Patrick's Day, EU Day etc) and sandwich children can book a meal for these days. In addition we have a set Roast Day (Thursday) and Pizza Day (Friday), these are always popular with all staff and children and can be booked as individual meals if your child usually has sandwiches. We also have Pudding Tuesday (our treat day when we have a different dessert!).
If you choose to make a packed lunch for your child you need to follow the guidelines set out below. If children bring in foods that are not allowed we will return them home in the lunchbox and ask you not to send them in again – please support the school with this as it can cause distress to the child when they are told they cannot eat a food that mum or dad has packed for them.

David Ellis, current vice president, secretary and general counsel of Lewis & Clark, has been named Interim President after Barry Glassner's recent resignation as president. Glassner plans to focus his time and attention on his writing and his role as a public intellectual. Glassner had served as Lewis & Clark's president since the fall of 2010 and is the author of numerous books and articles published in prominent academic journals and national newspapers.
The Board of Trustees has appointed David Ellis, current vice president, secretary and general counsel as interim president. Ellis has served in his current role for the past 13 years, and previously served as associate dean and director of Business Law Programs at Lewis & Clark Law School. For the past two years, David has taught higher education law for the master's degree program in student affairs administration at Lewis & Clark's Graduate School of Education and Counseling.
"Because of his long and dedicated service to Lewis & Clark, Interim President Ellis is well prepared to continue the good work being done, and help position the College for the future," said Scott Dubchansky, chair of Lewis & Clark's Board of Trustees.
Over the past decade, Ellis has served as a member of the United Educators Legal Advisory Board, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities Legal Advisory Board, as board chair and member of the Advisory Board of Hoyt Arboretum Friends, on the City of Portland's Economic Development Policy Expert Group, and on a variety of advisory committees concerning land use regulation of colleges, universities, and hospitals in Portland.
"Lewis & Clark's strength comes from its community–its students, faculty, staff, alumni, and Board of Trustees. I very much look forward to collaborating with this talented and committed community to advance opportunities for our students and fulfill the mission of the College," said Ellis.
The Board will form a committee of trustees and other representatives from the College to begin planning for the search for a permanent president.


Our old friend Malin (and by that I mean 10 years older than when she used to post around here) has returned to pro armwrestling. Unfortunately her big event at Las Vegas for the WAL Championships was cancelled due to lack of funding. But now that she's back training, I'm sure we'll see more from her in the future.
...with one arm. Of course, she is mostly using her legs and back to move the weight, but that is what anyone would do. Cool!


Professor Mackay's team has discovered the mechanism that regulates this response, ensuring that the majority of infections do not result in the body attacking its own tissue.
Published in Immunity, the research, led by Head of the Monash Department of Immunology Professor Fabienne Mackay, described for the first time how the body manages marginal zone (MZ) B cells, which form a general first line of attack against germs, but are potentially harmful.
MZ B cells are integral to our defences as they rapidly produce poly-reactive antibodies that are capable of destroying a variety of pathogens. This first response gives the body time to put in place an immune reaction specific to the invading microbe.
However, MZ B cells have the potential to turn against the body. Some are capable of producing antibodies which attack healthy, rather than foreign, cells — known as an autoimmune response. Bacteria trigger MZ B cells irrespective of whether these cells are dangerous or benign, effectively placing anyone with a bacterial infection at risk of developing an autoimmune disease.
"We found that while MZ B cells are rapidly activated, they have a very short life span," Professor Mackay said.
"In fact, the very machinery which triggers a response leads to MZ B cells dying within 24 hours.
"This says something important about our environment — pathogens are not always the enemy. They can also work hand in hand with our immune system to protect us against some immune diseases."
The research was supported by the NHMRC. Collaborating institutions included The University of New South Wales, The University of Melbourne, the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, the Monash Institute of Medical Research and Griffith University.
