The peaceful atmosphere. Music from the dining room was peaceful and could be heard in the evenings from your terrace. Additionally, the bells from out in the bay added to the atmosphere of harmony.
No elevator which made getting your luggage up the stairs difficult. However, the house was old and that was part of the charm.The ambiance is definitely old world with wall paper on the walls, no televisions, old doors and keys(!), and quiet. It is unbelievably charming and in a great location overlooking one of the bays. It's very much like a bed and breakfast but larger and without the breakfast. The restaurant looked like it was probably very good as well but we didn't eat there this trip. Additionally, the young man that checked us in was very welcoming and helpful. I will return and will recommend this hotel to everyone I know.

no---the tub might be somewhat challenging for older people.The hotel was perfect for my trip. The location was great and the gardens are an adventure.

Clean, Free WiFi, great location, close to shops, harbor.Not a huge negative, since there's a diner close by. However, I think they could offer better breakfast. I would gladly pay a few extra bucks to have a full proper breakfast (eggs, bacon/sausage, etc.) WiFi was quite flaky. We managed so we were grateful to have it nevertheless. An extender/repeater would greatly improve the connection for everyone in the hotel.
Okay 6.0
The size of the room was fantastic.
There were plastic mattress covers. They made a noise whenever you moved on the bed. They made the bed very warm. Sleeping on a thick piece of plastic is not a good thing It did not have a guest laundry.The hotel had the only good restaurant at the end of the season.

Tweetbot 2.0 for iPhone adds new timeline, image thumbnails, and more
Tweetbot, the widely popular iPhone Twitter that also just happens to be a 2011 iMore readers choice, and editors choice award winner, has just been updated with new timeline and direct message views that feature image thumbnails, a redesigned "new tweets" bar, support for readability, and more.
Following the launch of the official Twitter 4.0 redesign, many power users fell out of love with the new, more mainstream direction Twitter decided to take, and switched over to Tweetbot instead. I've been using Tweetbot since it launched and it has consistently been one of my favorite Twitter apps.
The Tweetbot 2.0 update has made the already awesome experience even better. Now that the timeline features image thumbnails, Tweetbot meets all my requirements of the ideal Twitter app: gorgeous, fast, native push notifications, and image previews.
The new timeline also features colored links that are single-tappable, a new "retweeted by" bar, and some minor adjustments to the cell colors to improve contrast. The tweet replies view has also received some changes, and the overall performance of the app, including scrolling, is snappier.

iMore must be getting some compensation for pushing this app. A lot of the iMore staffers use even though there are so many free apps for twitter.
I'm sorry steve, but just because there are free twitter apps out there doesn't make them the best, some people (including me) care more about the feel and looks and functionality of an app more than its price, and for power users who are constantly on twitter, it makes or breaks the experience. i've been using tweetbot since the day it was released and i absolutely love it! best 3$ i have ever spent in my life! now i understand that some people don't use twitter or use it on occassion and don't see the need to shell out 3$ on a premium app, and that's completely fine, to each his own, we can't all love te same social networks. but just because a writer writes an mini article about a significant upgrade in one of the most used twitter apps out there, don't accuse him of getting some money from it, i would be pushing it too if i had the place to do so. ( and i'll do it for free, chicken! ) - Dave chappelle.
I would also like to add that just because there are FREE clients out there people shouldn't feel the need to use them. You often pay for what you get and I also believe in supporting small devs. Tapbots is ran by 2 guys who bust there butts to make quality products and I own all their apps and $3 isn't going to break the bank. To each their own.
Seriously? You HONESTLY think there are FREE apps better than Tweetbot? You. Are. Mistaken.
I kid you not, I have purchased every Twitter app in the app store. Tweetbot is far and away the best option of any of them, for me. Maybe not for you.
Point is, our opinion is no more right or wrong than yours, so your original statement is ridiculous. Unfounded, no suggestions, no nothing. I call you a troll and go on with my day.
i think it's more a function of them being really gung ho on twitter. Me i don't use twitter much at all and i'd never pay for a twitter app. its not important to me.
There is no twitter app free or paid that is better than tweetbot.. If I were gay i would sleep with the devs just to thank them for making this app and thats after i would have paid $3 for it.. thats how great an app it is..
Sorry, dude. Tweetbot is the best twitter app by far. That's why it's getting such glowing reviews.
and still they ignore the ipad!
you ask and you shall receive:http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tweetbot-twitter-client-personality/id498...
Just updated and using it right now to make this post!
Tweetbot FTW!
tapbots just tweeted that if their tweet gets RTed 1000 times they are releasing something new! (the followers seem to think it might be tweetbot for iPad) so.. yeah.
No tweet longer? I pass - TweetList ftw
(tears of joy)
I really like tweetbot but no RT from locked accounts is a no go for me.
i'll have to check it out. although, the twitter integration on safari makes me more inclined to just stick to the twitter app.
Guys help me am using it but cant sending direct msg or even use the msg and when i do it it take me out from app.
What should i do :((
I was going to purchase this app but didn't see a way to read local tweets. Does that option exist? I haven't seen it since I had my blackberry :( Anyone?
Hi. How do you put photo at the top? Beside the "Timeline" word. Just like in the photo above. Thanks!

The Orange Leader
LAKE CHARLES, La. —
The fourth and final space for a casino appears to have been filled.
Golden Nugget Casinos has acquired the last gaming license issued by the state of Louisiana and is currently constructing the new casino and resort next door to the highly successful and popular L'Auberge Casino and Resort in Lake Charles, La., which is owned by Pinnacle Entertainment. The property is expected to open in 2014.
According to Hailey Polzin Kleiderer, public relations officer, the casino will be one of the most luxurious gaming resorts "outside of the Las Vegas strip" with approximately 800 hotel rooms and suites, retail shopping, a golf course, spa and a gigantic 18,000 square foot ballroom spread across 242 acres.
Other features will include a "one-of-a-kind pool," beach front and marina, meeting spaces, a large entertainment showroom, and at least two of Landry's signature restaurants, Grotto Italian Ristorante and Vic and Anthony's Steakhouse.
"I could not pass up the opportunity to build and operate a casino next door to my hometown," said Tilman J. Fertitta, owner of the Golden Nugget Casinos and president, CEO and primary shareholder of Landry's Restaurants, in a press release. "This casino will be where Louisiana locals and Texans will want to play, stay and enjoy themselves."
The casino will also include more than 60 gaming tables, and approximately 1,600 of the "newest slot machines in the world," while providing more than 3,000 parking spaces for guests and patrons.
Fertitta owns Golden Nugget Casino locations in Las Vegas and Laughlin, Nevada, as well as Atlantic City, New Jersey and in Biloxi, Miss.
He also owns and operates more than 100 restaurants in the Southeast Texas region, including well known brands such as Landry's Seafood House, Rainforest Cafe, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., and Saltgrass Steakhouse, among others. Fertitta has also been referred to by Forbes as "the world's richest restauranteur."
According to Marketwatch.com, a deal was reached on July 25 between Golden Nugget and Pinnacle Entertainment, where Golden Nugget would acquire all equity interests of the entity which owns the Ameristar Casino Lake Charles development project.
The article stated Ameristar has disclosed it had invested approximately $214 million in the Lake Charles, La. project through June 30. This includes the original purchase price, capital expenditures and escrow deposits too, according to a statement from Pinnacle.
Golden Nugget Casino will reportedly pay an amount "equal to all cash expenditures on the development" up until its closing date, which is expected to happen by the end of the year.
Fertitta's company will reportedly invest approximately $600 million in the project.

Many were disappointed with the closure of Tap & Table last April – it was a unique gastro pub and restaurant next door in Emmaus with a medieval feel and an upscale menu. But mourn no more! Tap & Table employees Jennifer Funk and John Kerstetter re-opened the business as The Trapp Door, and I'm happy to say not much has changed.
The building is the same – exposed wooden beams and red and gold walls, with a large chalkboard behind the bar advertising daily specials. The atmosphere is still dimly lit, with dark wooden tables and the same copper-topped bar, but the candles in the chandeliers have been replaced with electrical lights and the long picnic-style tables are now a smaller, more traditional size.
The Trapp Door is still labeled a gastropub, so you'll find a ridiculous selection of beers, including six unique drafts, two cask ales, and over 100 bottled from Belgium, Germany, England, Italy and America. There's also a handful of specialty cocktails and red and white wine.
The menu is limited, but features fresh meat and produce from local farms in Emmaus, Hamburg, Lancaster and Coopersburg. Under "Starters" you'll find things like fondu, pork belly, oysters and pierogies. Then, under the "Cheese and Meats" section, you can pair one of their fresh cheeses (like Aged Paulin or Drunken Goat) with a meat (like Spicy Soppressata or Calabrese Salami). Next, there's a handful of salads, soups, and sandwiches like the Fresh Autumn Salad, the Honey Butternut Squash Bisque and the New Cuban sandwich.
Then when you venture into the entrées, you'll really get a glimpse of the fresh food they use. The Penne & Scallops is served with aged gruyere, zucchini, organic turnips and cherry tomatoes. And the Mahi Mahi is served with forbidden rice, zucchini, a coconut reduction, compressed pineapple and pomegranate seeds.
My meal: A Klosterbrauerie Weissenohe Monk's Fest draft (try saying that three times fast) and The Trapp Door Burger. The burger was delicious – the meat was flavorful even by itself and it was cooked perfectly. Plus, the fries were awesome. I also got to try my dad's cheese-and-meat plate, which was quite delectable as well. A definite 5/5.
4226 Chestnut Street, Emmaus
(610) 965-5225
Open Tues. – Fri. 4 p.m. to midnight, Sat. noon to midnight (the kitchen is open til 11); closed Sunday and Monday
Price range: $$ - $$$ (the average salad or sandwich is around $13, but entrées are around $24)

Top Teachers: Karla Ott
Rivers Edge E.S., fourth grade
Inspiration can come from almost anywhere. Karla Ott found it as a college student in the far reaches of Slovakia, working with children on a church mission with whom she had no way to communicate other than expression.
"We had absolutely no language connection with them," she said. "It was simply about loving the children."
Still in college at the time with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian, something clicked for Ott on the trip.
"I had never seen teaching and education as a field that I would be good in," she said. "But I realized that it was not as much about teaching as much as developing connections with kids and loving them."
Ott is now in her fourth year of teaching fourth-graders at Rivers Edge – a group she calls the perfect age for her.
"These kids, they haven't developed the need to just get away from adults and away from having so much structure," she said. "They still really crave the structure that elementary education gives them.
"And they still kind of think you're pretty cool."
Ott herself is a product of Henrico County Public Schools – a Tucker graduate who attended Shady Grove Elementary and Short Pump Middle and has lived in the River's Edge zone nearly her entire life – since before the school itself ever existed.
She teaches a fitness class at the nearby Shady Grove YMCA before school in the mornings and for the past three years has also coached girls' lacrosse at Deep Run High School in the afternoons. She's given that up this year but has a new afterschool program that excites her just as much – a running club that she and two other teachers created.
"We were expecting 10 or 15 kids might be interested," she said, "but our numbers are in the low 90s now. It has just exploded. The kids are so excited."
The 'River Runners' club brings fitness experts and yoga instructors, among others, to educate second- through fifth-graders about different activities they can enjoy outdoors. Club members spend an hour each day running.
Ott credits her own love of running – which she developed after college at the behest of a friend – with changing her life by making her a more fit, confident person. (She's since run several marathons and half-marathons.) She believed it could do something similar for her students, who will compete in the kids' run at this year's Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k.
"I just picture all of our kids in their River Runner shirts coming to the finish line," Ott said, smiling at the thought.
Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University say a water-quality problem in the Monongahela River that may have been linked to Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling is going away.
Jeanne VanBriesen said Thursday that preliminary data from tests this year showed that levels of salty bromides in the river have declined significantly when compared to 2010 and 2011.
In many cases the bromides were at undetectable levels this year, and in general they returned to normal levels.
"These are very nice, low bromide levels, where we would like them to be," VanBriesen said of the 2012 test results, which were presented at a water quality conference in Pittsburgh.
VanBriesen said the decline appears to coincide with a voluntary ban on disposing gas drilling wastewater that took effect in the spring of 2011.
The wastewater contains large amounts of naturally occurring, ultra-salty bromides, and drillers had been taking millions of barrels of it to conventional wastewater treatment plants that discharge into the Monongahela River.
But in early 2011, the state Department of Environmental Protection called on drillers to voluntarily stop using riverside plants to get rid of the wastewater, and major companies and industry groups agreed to the request.

Tony Moeaki - #81 - TE
|6' 3"/ 252 lbs.
|Wheaton, IL
|Years played
|2010, 3rd round, 29th pick by Chiefs
Chiefs' O-line could look much different in 2010
After a season in which it allowed 45 sacks and opened up few holes in the running game, it's possible that the Chiefs' offensive line could look a lot different in 2010.
Pendergast takes fall for Chiefs' rough season
Somebody had to take the fall for the Chiefs' woeful defense in 2009, and in the end, it wound up being coordinator Clancy Pendergast. From what we hear, Pendergast's departure was expected for some time now, as he was ...
Report: Chiefs hire Crennel as defensive coordinator
The Chiefs have hired former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel as their defensive coordinator, according to NFL.com.
Report: Crennel joining Chiefs' staff
Former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel is expected to join the Chiefs' coaching staff, according to The Bergen Record.
Weis right fit for Chiefs' system, situation
Before the 2009 season even started, Chiefs head coach Todd Haley dismissed offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, choosing to instead call plays himself. But after just one season, Haley realized that wearing both hats was too much to take on so ...
Chiefs hire Weis as O-coordinator, won't extend two assistants
Charlie Weis has agreed to become the Chiefs' offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, the team confirmed that the contracts of DL coach Tim Krumrie and assistant OL coach Joe D'Alessandris would not be renewed.
Heavy workload catching up to Chiefs RB Charles
RB Jamaal Charles has been a tremendous spark for the Chiefs, rushing for 100 yards in each of his last three games and practically carrying the offense during the second half of the season. But for the 5-11, 199-pound back ...
Moeaki will miss all of the 2011 season with a torn ACL.||||||| Moeaki caught 47 passes for 556 yards and three touchdowns last season.
Tight end Tony Moeaki has been removed from the Kansas City Chiefs' physically unable to perform list and participated in their morning walkthrough Monday.||||||| The second-year player from Iowa ran some routes for the first time since he was placed on the PUP list at the beginning of training camp. The Chiefs have not said what was wrong with Moeaki, but he spent more than a week watching from the sidelines at Missouri Western State University. Moeaki caught 47 passes for 556 yards and three touchdowns his rookie season.
The Kansas City Chiefs are putting Moeaki on the physically unable to perform list.||||||| Coach Todd Haley declined to say Friday what Moeaki's problem was. He seemed fine when speaking briefly with the media as players moved into their training camp dorm room on Thursday in St. Joseph, Mo. As a rookie last season, Moeaki caught 47 passes for 556 yards and three touchdowns, including a spectacular one-handed scoring grab against San Francisco.
Moeaki caught a team-high four passes for 50 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Colts.||||||| Moeaki seems to be one of Matt Cassel's favorite targets, and he remains an under the radar play for those owners in need of a tight end.

New Orleans Saints

|Miami (FL)
|Years played
|2004, 1st round, 12th pick by Jets
Spagnuolo preaches patience with Saints' young corners
The Saints were thin at cornerback in their loss to the 49ers, and youngsters like Johnny Patrick are being relied on more and more.
NFC South Spin cycle: Falcons keep hanging on
It will not quiet the skeptics, but the Falcons did ensure this would be their third consecutive double-digit win season on Sunday.
49ers harass Brees, defeat Saints
Ahmad Brooks and Donte Whitner returned interceptions for touchdowns, and the 49ers ended the Saints' three-game winning streak, 31-21 on Sunday.
NFC South Spin cycle: Stage set for Falcons-Bucs battle
The Panthers hit a new low, but the rest of the NFC South was victorious Sunday, including the Falcons and Bucs, who will meet next week.
Rivera, Mularkey, Shurmur don't come through in clutch
Embattled head coaches have something in common: They all make late-game situational mistakes that cost their teams.
NFC South Spin cycle: Saints, Bucs keeping playoff hopes alive
The talk of an undefeated season is over for the Falcons, but the playoff hopes for the Saints and Buccaneers are still alive coming off Week 10 wins.
Falcons, Lions can't channel slights properly
How a team motivates itself can go a long way in determining whether it will achieve success or suffer failure in today's NFL, Eric Edholm writes.
Saints hand Falcons their first loss
Jimmy Graham caught seven passes for 146 yards and two TDs to help the Saints hand the Falcons their first loss, 31-27, on Sunday.
Saints' situation with Payton mystifies
One team insider says the Saints' still-unsettled contract situation for suspended head coach Sean Payton is best described as a mess.
Key matchup: Falcons QB Matt Ryan vs. Saints pass defense
In today's Key Matchup, we take a look at the challenge awaiting the Saints' pass defense in Week 10.
NFC South Spin cycle: Saints defense still needs to tighten up
It's all smiles in the NFC South after the Saints, Falcons, Panthers and Buccaneers each earned a victory in Week Nine.
Brees, Robinson spark Saints to victory
Drew Brees threw two TD passes, one to TE Jimmy Graham, to lead the Saints to a 28-13 win over the reeling Eagles on Monday night.
Report: League voided Saints' contract with Payton
The NFL voided the contract extension Saints head coach Sean Payton received in September 2011, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Saints RB Sproles (hand) out for Monday night
Saints RB Darren Sproles needed surgery on a broken hand and will not play in Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Saints using scalpel rather than sledgehammer on defense
The Saints are on pace to shatter the record for most yards allowed in a season, but Joe Vitt has shot down the idea of making dramatic changes.
People familiar with the situation say defensive end Will Smith and Vilma has agreed to restructure his contract in order to remain with the New Orleans Saints.||||||| The 31-year-old Smith and 30-year-old Vilma, both veteran defensive captains who were implicated in the NFL's bounty probe, would have consumed about $23 million combined in salary cap space had they not agreed to new deals before the new league year - and free agency - began Tuesday afternoon.
Vilma has asked a federal judge to allow him to move forward with his defamation case against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.||||||| In a motion filed Wednesday, Vilma drops his case against the NFL's disciplinary process, now that his suspension has been lifted. However, he continues to pursue damages from Goodell for harm he alleges was done to his reputation by the NFL's bounty probe of the New Orleans Saints. In an NFL appeal ruling Tuesday, former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue threw out suspensions for Vilma and three other current and former Saints in connection with the bounty investigation.
Saints defensive end Will Smith says he and linebacker Jonathan Vilma will be present Friday when their lawyers cross examine former New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in Washington, D.C. Williams appears at a bounty hearing on Friday morning, according to a schedule set by Paul Tagliabue. The former NFL commissioner has been appointed to oversee the latest round of player appeals in the matter.||||||| Smith and Vilma will leave Atlanta after Thursday night's game against the Falcons. They are among four players issued suspensions of various lengths in the league's probe of the Saints' cash-for-hits program. Smith and Vilma are playing while their appeals are pending. Williams and former Saints assistant Mike Cerullo were two of the NFL's central witnesses in the probe. Cerullo's appearance is scheduled for Thursday.
Vilma hopes to play a bigger role on the Saints' defense in his second game of the season Sunday against Denver. He said his knee, and his entire body, held up very well after the Tampa Bay game. He did not make a tackle but had one deflection and forced a near interception.||||||| Playing for the first time while appealing his season-long suspension for his role in the New Orleans' bounty program, Vilma played 18 snaps last Sunday against Tampa Bay. Vilma declined Friday to talk about any bounty-related topics leading into his appeals hearing Tuesday with former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who will decide whether to uphold Roger Goodell's ruling.
Vilma played for the first time on Sunday while appealing a season-long suspension due to his role in the Saints' bounty program, recording one quarterback hit and breaking up one pass.||||||| New Orleans still gave up a season-high 513 yards, but players said Vilma's return provided an emotional lift.

yes, if he doesn't perform by mid-season I agree we should trade him.
At what point do we say enough is enough with Liriano? He clearly never regained his form from his rookie year. At best Liriano can get hot for a month. The Twins need to trade him to a team and try and salvage something for him.


text: Not since "Garbo Talks!" has a public figure's decision to speak attracted such attention. I'm referring, of course, to the media sensation created this week when Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas broke an almost seven-year-long silent streak to crack a joke during oral arguments in a case involving the adequacy of counsel in a Louisiana murder case.

Spring is less than a month away and it's time to start thinking about the new trends that you could incorporate into your personal style next season. From chic monochrome and Japan-inspired pieces to summery floral prints and low-heeled shoes, discover the S/S key trends!
Bomber Jackets
Bomber Jackets are lightweight and don't take much space – they're the perfect jacket for the Spring/Summer season. You can wear it on the chilly summer mornings and just keep it in your bag when it gets warmer.
Stella McCartney and Jonathan Saunders presented relaxed bomber jackets inspired in sporty silhouettes, whilst Christopher Kane wowed everyone with his reinterpretation of this classic piece.
What's a spring without flowers? Floral prints have become a S/S staple for many designers and this season they're presented in sweet and subtle patterns.
Erdem presented a collection where pastels and florals created a whimsical experience and French designer Isabel Marant's collection featured boho-inspired pieces with a 70's feeling.
Black and white dominated the catwalks last September. Monochrome is the new season's must-trend and was present in almost every single designer's collections.
Louis Vuitton's use of standout checks proves that matching black and white doesn't have to be boring and for his first collection for Saint Laurent, Hedi Slimane also decided to feature monochrome patterns.
Japan and China have always been a great source of inspiration for many designers. This season, the likes of Etro, Prada and Christopher Kane have included in their collections different pieces following this trend – think of creep up kimonos, silky shirts and cherry blossom prints!
Peplum dominated the catwalk a couple of seasons ago, now ruffles and frills take the spotlight. Forget about less is more because this season it's all about going big!
Flamenco-inspired dresses and skirts in this season's colour palette were featured at Gucci and Balenciaga's shows, whilst Ricardo Tisci at Givenchy decided to give this trend a twist, featuring big frills in the neck area.
Low-heeled shoes
Your feet don't need to suffer this season. Low-heeled pointy shoes matched with ladylike bags are the perfect accessories to channel 50's classic style. Wear them with cropped trousers or pencil skirts for an extra spring chic touch.
Anna Sui featured love-inspired shoes in red with heart details and French fashion emporium Lanvin provides leather pumps featuring plastic tortoiseshell bows.

Anacapa Island
From Openwaterpedia
Anacapa is part of the Channel Islands archipelago and is part of the Channel Islands National Park. It is the smallest of the northern islands. The official 2000 census population was 3 permanent residents (Ranger Station in the eastern part of East Island). East Island's most notable natural feature is Arch Rock, a 40-foot (12 m)-high natural bridge.
Marathon Swimming
Solo and relay swims between Anacapa Island and the California mainland are governed by the Santa Barbara Channel Swimming Association (SBCSA) that supports and sanctions open water swims to, from, and between 7 of the 8 Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California, USA.
Lynn Kubasek, a nominee for the 2013 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year, became the first person to swim from Santa Cruz Island to Anacapa Island in a time of over 5 hours on 31 August 2013.
Julian Rusinek Scholarship
The Julian Rusinek Scholarship, funded by American open water swimmer Julian Rusinek, helps underwrite the costs of channel swim attempts by deserving American marathon swimmers across and between the San Miguel Island, Santa Rosa Island, Santa Cruz Island, Anacapa Island, San Nicolas Island, Santa Barbara Island, and San Clemente Island.
Anacapa Island Swims
12.4 miles (10.8 nm) to Silver Strand Beach, Oxnard. Cindy Cleveland pioneered this swim in 1978 in a 12 hour 48 minute double-crossing - a record that still stands.
Successful Crossings
Since Cleveland's two-way crossing, there have been 43 solo crossings to date (October 2013), including a double crossing by Paul Lewis. The one-way record is held by Jim McConica in 4 hours 38 minutes set in 2012.
Relay Crossings
There have been 3 successful relays, all crossing in 7 hours 15 minutes on 14 October 2012:
- Team Jessie: Howard Burns, Charlie Christensen, Marc Horwitz, Mike Kendall, Alan Baumgardner and Corey Tabor
- Team Augie: Lisa Nordholm, John Stevens, Julian Rusinek, Morgan Empey, Vanessa Mesia and Mike Lane
- Team Coto: Michael Trudeau, Tanya MacLean, Jeff Conrad, Ben Putman, Lynn Kubasek and Cherie Edborg
Inter-Island Crossing
Scott Zornig did the first 5.6-mile swim from Anacapa Island to Santa Cruz Island in 2007 in 2 hours 18 minutes.
Board of Directors
- Scott Zornig (president)
- Dean White (finance secretary)

Kanye Apologizes, Taylor Speaks Out About The Incident
Posted on Mon Sep 14, 2009 07:30 AM PDT
Just hours after Kanye West brazenly attempted to steal Taylor Swift's thunder at the VMAs, he posted an apology on his official blog (in caps, natch), but now it appears as though it's been removed from his site! Kanye wrote:
I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE'S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I'M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE'S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I'M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN' THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I'M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I'M NOT CRAZY YALL, I'M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I'M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!
While we're glad to see that the egotistical rapper had the heart to apologize, it was far too little too late and he lost a lot of fans last night. The plus side? This whole stunt got Taylor a bit more attention than she's used to! The 19-year-old country crooner spoke with MTV about the incident and said, "Well, you know, I was up there and I was standing there and I saw Kanye up on the stage. I was really excited...and I kind of wasn't excited anymore." Aw, Taylor! We certainly think she deserved the award, and it looks like Beyonce did too.
When Beyonce won Video of the Year, she allowed Taylor to come up onstage and give her acceptance speech again a second time. "You know, they told me to be ready just in case she might want to say something," Taylor said. "It was just so wonderful and so incredibly classy of her and just gracious and wonderful to let me say something. She's just been my hero and one of my idols ever since I was little. She's a great person."
So what did other celebs have to say about the incident? Everyone from Spencer Pratt to Joel Madden commented on Kanye's epic blunder, and we couldn't agree more with Pink's tweet about the incident: "Kanye west is the biggest piece of sh*t on earth. Quote me." Will do!
Are you still a Kanye fan?

The location was great, very close to Penn Station, and shuttle service was very useful. Free parking was much appreciated.

Close enough to all Manhattan attractions to visit them within minutes, but far enough not to be bothered by the noise and crowds. So why spend $250/night to stay at a hotel in New York...

Staff and facility was good. With the location, having a restaurant in-house was very helpful.
The area is a tangle of highways and the hotel's road is accessible only from the highway, no back way in. We left to find gas and it took us an HOUR to find our way back!

I think it's 3 star hotel, not 3 and half.The hotel is generally clean, however, the door, the elevator and some facilities do look quite old.
Good 7.0
The airport shuttle was timely and comfortable. The check in process was quick. The layout of the room was fine. I liked the sink area being separate from the shower/toilet.
The common spaces didn't feel very clean. While i was impressed to see fresh paint on commonly beat up items - like elevator door jams, i was disappointed that the carpeting was pretty grimy. Maybe time for an update? The breakfast was a 'C.'Breakfast - styrofoam plates are a pet peeve of mine. The eggs were the same as everywhere. starchy breads rounded it out. I hate styrofoam coffee cups too. This was more a 2 or 2.5 star than 3. Not a bad place. but not a 3* until they improve the tired carpet, paint, and cluttery breakfast area. Help was fine; but not as professional as most hotels bearing 3*. Don't get me wrong, for the price i paid bidding on this, i'd stay here again in a heartbeat. The shuttle service and the breakfast nearly paid for it. But alas, i...

Staff was rude. Hotel was very out-of-date and run down.I was referred there through a group that my 16 year-old daughter was meeting to fly to Europe for three weeks. It was so bad that we will not be staying there when we go back to pick her up. Several other parents with the same group said the same thing.

It had more than any other hotel. The room had everything. Didn't have to get an ironing board etc. It was very clean and quiet.I have stayed at Hilton hotel's and spent double the money.I prefer this over them.
That I can not put the room in my luggage so when I travel I will have it.I was hesitant when I first saw it from the outside because I could see it was older. Sometimes that means not updated and maybe not in good shape or clean. I didn't find that at all. I can handle older if clean and maintained.I will definitely recommend this hotel and when I come again I'll be staying with you.
Good 8.0
better parking.

I just read that Wilko Johnson, the charismatic guitarist of Dr Feelgood has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and does not plan to have treatment. Although I have "discovered" Dr Feelgood very late on, this news has made me very sad. So I offer up this performance to show the man in his glory.
Views: 643
I'm not familiar with Dr. Feelgood but one of my Face Book friends who is a huge music fan and has impeccable taste posted this same video and was saddened by the news. I watched the video on face book and it made me want to hear more and learn about the band.
There is a wonderful documentary about the band and the very strange place they came from called Oil City Confidential. They came from Canvey Island, a reclaimed island at the mouth of the Thames that is primarily an oil refinery.
From Wikipedia:
John Peter Wilkinson, is an English guitarist and songwriter, particularly associated with the UK rhythm and blues band Dr. Feelgood in the 1970s. Johnson and Dr Feelgood have been credited as one of the founding influences of the British punk movement.
He also played the iconic mute executioner Ser Ilyn Payne on the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones.
sad news indeed...I remember seeing Feelgood in the late 7os and saw Wilko and his 3 piece band put on a great show at the Kilkenny Roots Festival in 2011...perpetual motion on stage!
I had the flu in 1976 and I also had tickets to see Dr Feelgood at the Agora in Cleveland .Even though I felt like crap I went to the show and it was so great I left feeling totally healed.Wilko zipped around the stage playing blistering guitar and only his feet moved. He was like a manic young Jerry Lewis. Amazing. You shouldn't call the Dr. if you can't afford the pills...Amazing!!!Thoughts and prayers...
Great story Marvin. The healing power of rock n roll!

The UNCW women's soccer program continues to rise in national prominence under the leadership of former collegiate standout and veteran coach Paul Cairney.
UNCW finished that season with a 13-8-1 overall record as it equaled the program's single-season mark for victories for the second time in four campaigns. Cairney's squad was well recognized for its success as Megan Novak and Stephanie Rose were Second-Team All-CAA selections and Ashley Myers was a Third-Team All-CAA pick. Rose and fellow newcomer Lindsay Henry were also named to the CAA All-Rookie Team, while Novak garnered additional accolades with an All-Region selection by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
As a student at UNCW, Cairney excelled in the classroom. He earned several academic honors, including CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-American in 1993, the Phi Delta Kappa Outstanding Young Educator award, Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society, the Chancellor's Cup for Academic and Athletic Excellence and the Alumni Achievement Award for Academic Excellence. He graduated with the highest grade point average of UNCW's Class of '93.
Paul and his wife, the former Donalda Kirsop, have three children, Cameron (17), Tess (15) and Lily (11).

By LAURIE DAVIS, Cornell Cooperative Extension
---- — For nearly two decades, my family has grown much of its own food.
If we can't produce it ourselves, sometimes we purchase through a cooperative-buying club and place an order online each month. A semitruck deftly maneuvers the back roads and delivers the items to our club site, where a handful of cooperative members unload, sort and weigh groceries and organic produce. We buy in bulk and save money.
It's like a slick combination of Sam's Club and a natural-foods co-op. But one aspect has been conspicuously absent: Most items, especially the produce, are not locally sourced. Enter the next generation of online cooperative-buying clubs, Wholeshare.
Wholeshare offers an exciting new dimension on the local-food front.
It was developed in Silicon Valley, but launched with local-food distributors in New York state, coordinating its operations out of its Potsdam office. The company was introduced to the North Country region by Mark Dzwonczyk, CEO of Nicholville Telephone Company/SLIC Network Solutions and a Wholeshare advisor. The beauty of the system is that Wholeshare does the work of sourcing locally for you, checking your group's location, giving you access to the farm products nearest to you and then expanding out from there. Your group can decided how wide to cast the "local" net. You can even purchase "fair trade" bananas and oranges.
The advantages offered are similar to other cooperatives and buying clubs. Here's a quote from the Wholeshare website: "By shopping as a group, everyone increases their purchasing power. The group places larger orders than you could on your own and as a result, it becomes worthwhile for farmers and other local food producers to come deliver directly to you and your group. Also, because you're able to go direct to the source you cut out costly portions of your supply chain, which means you save money without shortchanging the producers."
Interested in joining or starting a group? There are no fees to join, start or maintain a group. The only costs you will encounter are associated with delivery fees, a varying amount that will be split among all members of the group. Go to the wholeshare.com website and click on the "Find a Group" tab at the top of the page. Enter your zip code, and all the existing groups in your region will appear.
Do any of them look appealing to you? If not, go ahead and click on "Start a Group." As a group coordinator, you can earn a small commission and oversee the general operation — there's even a handy "new coordinator guide." This will take time and energy so if you have neither of those — but want the food — just join an existing group.
The Wholeshare system has some sweet attributes. Each member is responsible for placing his or her own order online and pays for the order by credit card, eliminating the communication and financial headaches of other buying-club cooperatives. There is a nifty "split" system whereby you can order a partial case of a product — say 5 pounds of potatoes from a 15-pound bag. The other members of your groups are alerted to this, giving them an opportunity to join in on the split. As soon as the 15 pounds of potatoes have been spoken for, the order can be placed. All of the members' orders that are ready will be filled at each delivery date. Unfilled splits remain in the system until filled at some future delivery.
The next task is to encourage more of our local farmers to use Wholeshare as an outlet for their marketing. Another option is for community-supported agriculture groups to start a Wholeshare group so that more local food can be accessed at the regular CSA distribution. The future of local foods is bright. Find more information at www.wholeshare.com, and visit www.adirondackharvest.com to find local farms, farmers markets and CSAs.

SOURCE Health Catalyst
Conference to focus on delivering actionable game-changing insights through a unique, shared learning experience
SALT LAKE CITY, May 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Analytics has the power to transform healthcare, and yet surveys reveal that providers are confused about how to apply the technology to get results. Few forums exist where healthcare professionals can obtain unbiased, practical, educational advice on proven analytics solutions that really work in healthcare. That situation changes September 24-25 when the Healthcare Analytics Summit 2014 (HAS '14) comes to The Grand American Hotel, Salt Lake City's only AAA Five Diamond hotel.
Unlike other conferences where analytics is one of many tracks, the Healthcare Analytics Summit 2014 is dedicated entirely to the groundbreaking application of analytics within healthcare settings. The general presentations and focused breakout sessions will provide valuable peer-driven learning and dialogue for a range of healthcare professionals whether they are just starting down the analytics path, are in the middle of adopting analytics, or are advanced health systems looking to accelerate their adoption of analytics.
High-Profile Keynotes
HAS '14 keynote speakers are visionaries in the creation and application of analytics from some of the world's most respected organizations in healthcare and beyond, including:
Billy Beane - General Manager, Oakland Athletics
Moneyball: Lessons for Life and Business from Baseball's Best GM
Ray Kurzweil - Director of Engineering, Google; Leading Futurist
The Acceleration of Technology in the 21st Century: Impacts on Healthcare and Medicine
Mike Leavitt - Founder and Chairman of Leavitt Partners and Former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Healthcare Reform 2.0: Anticipating What's Next
James Merlino, MD - Chief Experience Officer, Cleveland Clinic
Using Data to Transform the Patient Experience
Glenn D. Steele Jr. MD, PhD - President and CEO, Geisinger Health System
How Geisinger Uses Analytics to Transform Healthcare
Driving improvements in their respective organizations, summit keynote speakers are recognized leaders using analytics and data intelligence to drive improvements in and outside of healthcare. This list of experts has been hand selected to create rich dialogue with lessons applicable to any health system professional.
Billy Beane, voted baseball's best GM and the inspiration for the movie "Money Ball," revolutionized baseball by using analytics to uncover star talent. Ray Kurzweil, an American author, scientist, inventor, and futurist, has been described as a "restless genius" by The Wall Street Journal and "the ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes. The former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Mike Leavitt intimately understands the legislative and regulatory challenges that must be overcome to fix our healthcare system. Dr. James Merlino, known as a national expert in patient-centered care, is revolutionizing the process of care delivery by putting patients first in an unprecedented way. Dr. Glenn D. Steele leads what many believe to be the most innovative health system recognized as a model for high quality integrated health service delivery in the US.
For a complete list of keynote and session speakers, go to: www.hasummit.com/speakers/
Two Days of Immersive Analytics Experiences
In addition to the keynote speakers, HAS '14 will include many educational breakout sessions focused on the most important topics as prioritized by pre-summit surveys. A heavy emphasis will be placed on real-world examples and practical guidance so attendees leave the summit empowered to make changes to drive improvements within their own organizations. These vendor-neutral sessions will be heavy on education and light on fluff.
To see the full list of analytical, clinical and financial ROI subjects, go to: www.hasummit.com/sessions/
Unlike other industry conferences, HAS '14 will deliver an immersive experience for attendees, with analytics at the core of everything. Each attendee will have access to a mobile app to provide poll answers, questions and comments that speakers will incorporate into their presentations in real time. A team of staff analysts will share meaningful insights from summit data throughout the conference in group settings and on attendees' mobile devices, creating a more substantive, engaging experience.
In addition to individual attendance, HAS '14 sessions are designed for health systems to bring their entire teams, enabling them to tackle real process and data-analytics problems resulting in fast time to value. Proven in the market place, analytics are only as good as the permanent teams built around them to identify insight, track changes and maintain progress. This conference will facilitate that rich team engagement.
"We believe HAS14 will provide a more compelling learning experience than any other analytics conference in healthcare," said Paul Horstmeier, Senior Vice President of Health Catalyst. "The future of healthcare requires transformative thinking by committed leadership willing to forge and adopt new data-driven processes. If you count yourself among this group, then HAS '14 is for you. We are driven to make this the most thought-provoking yet practical educational experience in healthcare analytics to be found anywhere in the world."
About The Healthcare Analytics Summit 2014
The Healthcare Analytics Summit 2014, powered by Health Catalyst, is the industry's first conference devoted exclusively to providing immersive learning experiences on the topic of healthcare analytics. Join top executives and professionals from around the U.S. for a memorable educational summit on one of the most pressing topics in healthcare today. HAS '14 brings together national experts in analytics from a variety of fields, while immersing participants in a unique, analytics-driven experience, adjusting and interacting with the conference in real time, accelerating their ability to apply analytics best practices within their own organizations.
