Desert Shadows RV Resort
[ 7/10 ]
By biggest complaint with this park is with Trailer Life/Woodall giving it a triple 10 and a top 100 park by Good Sam. I actually spent the first 30 minutes deciding if I wanted to spend six nights here or try another park. I expected so much more and was very disappointed. With that said, it's a nice, clean park, and the staff and extended stay residents were very friendly. So here's what I didn't like. About 90% of the overnight sites are back in and they are literally wedged between park models. No idea why they chose to design the park like this. No cable. No free Wi-Fi to sites. Gravel sites. No grass. No picnic table. Restrooms are not open 24 hrs. Had to go onto park model carport to get to/use hookups and driver side compartments. Here's what I liked. Nice reservation queue for rigs. Nice wide paved roads. Great amenities like billiards, pool, bocce ball, shuffle board, scheduled activities almost daily, easy access to highways, Costco right behind park. If not for being a great location to visit family and friends, I'd look for another park to stay at next time.
Temecula, California
Pechanga RV Resort & Casino
[ 9/10 ]
A beautiful RV park in a very nice area. Great location to wineries, coast, etc. The check in queue accommodates at least four big rigs and registration was efficient. Roads are paved, wide and easy to navigate. Sites are paved and level. Nice landscaping. No noticeable traffic noise. Very nice casino. Wi-Fi was excellent but they "kicked you off" every five minutes and made you sign back on. As many before have commented, rules not enforced. No stakes in the grass and nothing tied to or hanging from trees, yet saw a half dozen violations that were ignored. The restrooms are spotless and the showers are spacious, but the shower water is set on 45 second timer and you have to keep hitting the button to get more time. Five minutes would be more reasonable. Would stay here again.
Lodi, California
Flag City RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed here 4 nights on our way back home to Las Vegas after a 3 month trip. Lodi was a very pleasant surprise and the wine country was lots of fun. The RV park is conveniently located off the interstate, but far enough that noise wasn't an issue. There are also several truck stops about a quarter mile away. The RV park is nicely laid out with wide, level, paved sites. Landscaping in between sites is ground cover, not grass, and was basically unusable. The bathrooms and laundry were modern and spotless but one restroom did have a small ant problem. The pool and spa were very nice. There is a flood control basin in the middle of the park that serves as one of the largest grassy pet areas you'll ever find. I think it's about two acres in size. Fair number of extended stay but sites well maintained and folks were friendly. Not much shade but wasn't an issue this time of year and provided great satellite service. There was an issue with WiFi while we were there and it was hit or miss whether it worked. Check in was fine and there's a large area to queue. Looked like there was a small general store but didn't check it out. Would stay here again.
Redding, California
Premier RV Resorts of Redding
[ 10/10 ]
We stayed a week in the newer big rig section. Level paved sites, grass in between, small shade trees, picnic table, very good Wi-Fi and satellite coverage, nice pet areas and immaculate restrooms. Staff was friendly and courteous. Ample trash dumpsters. Older section looked nice as well but roads are a little tighter and mature trees may cause some big rig challenges, but would be welcome relief in hotter months. No highway noise. Mail service. No complaints. Would stay again for sure.
Grants Pass, Oregon
Moon Mountain RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
We booked the RV park for a week, but extended an additional two days hoping we'd get to visit Crater Lake NP, but the Govt. closure persisted. The RV park is older and small, and the roads are steep and narrow. But the concrete pads are level and the sites are large enough to get the slides and awnings out. The hillside location does provide a dramatic view of the surrounding forest and the trees in the park are varied and colorful. Check in is a bit tight....our big rig and toad blocked the entire entrance/exit area and there is no room to queue. Staff is friendly and the manager is very hands on. The utilities all worked well and the Wi-Fi was good. Satellite reception was good as well. The restrooms are dated, but clean. The RV park indicates it is family friendly, but there are no such amenities. There are several pet areas including a small grassy area by the office. The park is on a dead end road and highway traffic didn't seem bad. One of he best amenities is just a short walk down the road, Tom Pearce Park, with a paved trail along the perimeter and another trail along the Rogue River. We would stay here again.
Canyonville, Oregon
Seven Feathers RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
I don't have much to add to some of the excellent reviews recently that covered most of the high points. We stayed for a week, and other than the persistent rain, which is Mother Nature's issue, it was a perfect stay. We're new at RVing, but have stayed at about fifteen parks, a half dozen in the Good Sam Top 100, and everything considered including the price, this is by far the nicest park. The casino shuttle is always circling the park, there are beautiful, private restrooms everywhere, the grounds are immaculate, the RV/truck stop is a real bonus and it is so peaceful and quiet. We're now down the road in Grant's Pass at a perfectly fine RV park, but we miss Seven Feathers already!
Eugene, Oregon
Premier RV Resorts of Eugene Oregon
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed here five nights. Beautiful park. Staff was friendly and efficient. Registration parking was ample. Nicely landscaped and well maintained. Huge grassy area for pets and two off leash exercise ares. Pond with fountain at end of park. Nice pool and spa area. Restrooms are modern and very clean. Nice grassy areas and landscaping between sites. Really nice touch with the picket fences shielding the hook ups from the adjacent site. Newer area in back by pond has larger, more spacious sites but little shade and closer to highway. Front area more congested and sites a little tighter, but still no problem for big rigs. Easy access on and off Interstate. You can take Coburg Road in your toad and avoid the highways and be in Eugene in under ten minutes. Satellite reception was no problem and Wi-Fi was excellent. The cable connection requires a male to female adapter. Newer area in back has picnic table that converts to park bench depending on your needs.....pretty cool.
Florence, Oregon
Pacific Pines RV Park & Storage
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed here two weeks. We really enjoyed the park. Check in was very efficient and the registration parking area was huge. The sites are level and paved, with some landscape shrubbery providing a little privacy and enough room to extend the slides without issue. Big rigs need to park their toads sideways front or back but streets are very wide so no problems with congestion. WiFi was awesome! Satellite reception was no problem. No grass for dogs but a nice gravel dog run. Bathrooms were modern and spotless. The showers were a bit awkward. The stalls were not side by side where you could access each one independently. You had to cross through one stall's changing area to get to the next stall. The rec room was nice with TV, magazines, pool table and jigsaw puzzles. The park is set back off of the highway and very quiet. Park is beautifully maintained. Great location in the heart of Florence and close to everything.
Brookings, Oregon
Portside RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
We stayed here a week. Great location across the street from the harbor. No fishy smell. Ten minute walk to the ocean. Check in was O.K. but staff was a little grumpy. Tried to put us in back in spot when we reserved pull through and then guide took us to the wrong space. Sites are a bit small. No landscaping separation. Sites are level and paved and have picnic tables. Terrible for pets, just a small gravel area and not a lick of grass. Restrooms were modern and clean. Showers are coin operated. You put your coin in and the shower turns on automatically, with no ability to regulate heat or turn it off. I found it a bit ironic since the parks like to say they make you pay as a conservation measure and then this park doesn't even allow you to turn off the water. I paid for ten minutes, but was done in seven and the water ran for another three minutes. No general store or RV provisions. Lots of restaurants at harbor. Large percentage of full time residents living in nice cottages. They are building more cottages on the hill above the park and ingress and egress are through the park. It's a bit busy and noisy during the workday as residents and construction equipment go back and forth. We looked around and still think this is your best choice in Brookings.
Palm Desert, California
Emerald Desert RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Our first trip in our new motorhome took us from our home in Las Vegas to Palm Desert. We wanted a short trip to shake things out and wanted to pick a nice park to ensure our initial experience was positive. Was it ever! Other than the price, we have absolutely nothing bad to say about this park. We have stayed at a dozen RV parks since, and this remains the benchmark from which all are judged. We splurged for a deluxe site. All of the sites are back in. The facilities are modern and beautiful, the staff is friendly, the grounds are lush and nicely manicured, the main pool is as nice as many hotel resorts. The restrooms and showers are plentiful and spotless, there are plenty of areas and paths to walk pets. The sites are paved and level, there is garbage pick-up daily at the sites. We didn't hear any highway noise from our location and the train didn't bother us either. Check in was efficient and there is a very large registration area to park your rig. Tennis courts, pitch and putt golf, RV sales and a farmers market. There was a general store but it was rather small considering the scale of everything else. Would definitely go back again.
Buellton, California
Flying Flags RV Resort & Campground
[ 7/10 ]
We stayed here for two weeks and have mixed feelings, which is possibly our issue more than the park's. Being retired and not dialed into school, we booked our stay during Spring break, and this very family friendly park was crazy. Very noisy and busy. Electric scooters everywhere. Not sure management did enough to curb unruly activity. They allowed one group to rent three spots and use the middle spot to set up covered tents, which became the gathering place for up to fifteen people at times. Vacant spaces were used to set up ring toss games. Curfew was not recognized. Laundry hanging from awnings. We ended up moving to a different area of the park and had a much better experience. We would like to think that the park isn't always that crazy. Check in was efficient and staff was friendly. Some sites were narrow and gravel while others were wider and offered a paved pad, and it didn't seem to be tied to the price you paid or rig size. There are many shade trees so satellite service is hit or miss. Cable and WiFi were good. Showers and restrooms were kept clean but are a little dated. The grounds were nicely landscaped and manicured. Easy access off the highway and not too much highway noise. Groceries and restaurants within walking distance. Great location to explore Santa Barbara, Solvang and the wine country.
Acton, California
The Californian RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
We stayed here overnight. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Guided us to our spot and helped us park. Nice concrete pads but they are not level. Allowed us to use adjacent spot for our toad. Driver side was very tight and the tiered pads made it difficult to connect utilities. Nice small grassy area on passenger side but no picnic table. Rest rooms and showers were immaculate and the pool was beautiful and inviting. There is a dog run on the far side of the pool complex but no grassy areas. Beautiful views of the mountains. Lots of extended stay residents. Quiet. Would definitely stay again.
Fortuna, California
Riverwalk RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed here a week as we worked our way up the California coast. Overall, we thought it was one the nicest parks we have stayed in. Check in was smooth and there is a large registration area to park your rig. Friendly and attentive staff. The sites are good size with grassy areas in between. Level, asphalt pads. Nice pet area. You aren't allowed to put stakes in the grass so no spinners or flags. Bathrooms are well maintained and the landscaping was nicely manicured. The showers offer nice privacy with locked doors into each stall, but the showers are quite small and hard to move around. The pool and spa were very nice, as was the general store with lots of souvenirs, wine and RV supplies. We found the WiFi to work very well and got very good satellite reception. We did not use the park's cable system. Noise from the highway typical of most parks and easy access on and off. Gas station just down the road that accommodates big rigs. Great location to tour redwoods, beaches, Eureka.
San Juan Bautista, California
Betabel RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
We stayed here for two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was a great location for us to explore both the Monterey and Santa Cruz area. The staff were very friendly. Nice, large check in area. Spots in the middle have privacy hedges on both sides, but are a bit tight for big rigs with slides. Plenty of extra parking. One the the best RV parks for pets, with two huge grassy areas. A large percentage of extended stay residents. They were very friendly and their spots mostly well maintained. The restrooms were always clean, but could use some updating. The main restrooms and showers were in the office complex, which was at one end of the park. There was just one men's and one women's single stall restroom/shower in the most congested area of the park. The pool was nice. The general store was well stocked and included vegetables from a community garden in the park. Easy access off the highway with a frontage road that provided some noise buffer. Train track near by, but only heard it once or twice a day. Large community fire pit. Dump station included area to give a quick wash to your toad. Had satellite, so can't speak to the cable system. Garbage pick up was once a week and by the fifth day the dumpsters were overflowing. The Wi-Fi was simply terrible....we rarely were able to get on. Would stay again, but they really need to get better WiFi.
Fort Bragg, California
Pomo RV Park & Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We really enjoyed our stay here. It doesn't have a pool or general store, but those aren't important to us. Check in was fine, but it can get a little congested in the registration parking area. The streets are a little narrow so you'll want to unhook your toad. The grounds are wooded with lots of trees and most spaces are spacious and offer some privacy. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Satellite service and cell service are very spotty. Verizon worked better than AT&T. The park's Wi-Fi was very good. The park sells firewood; the best deal is the huge stack, I'm guessing 100 pieces, for $30, but you have to load it and take it to your site. Great areas to walk your dog, throw a frisbee or play horse shoes. Restrooms are modern and clean; the showers are as well but are coin operated so bring your quarters. They claim this is to help with water conservation, but it's kind of a rip, especially if you have kids and you shower every day. A ten minute shower will run you about $2.00. Approaching Fort Bragg from CA 1 or CA 20 is pretty hairy in a large rig with toad. Fort Bragg is a nice coastal town with most of the amenities you'll need.
Novato, California
Novato RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
This is a great location for visiting SF and the wine country. The RV park itself is fine, nothing special, and I'm surprised it is ranked as a top 100 location. We asked for help backing in to our space. The staff member who checked us in asked another staff member to help us. He was not with another customer but said he was too busy to help us. The spaces where they were putting the larger motorhomes were gravel. The sites tapered off near the front and you really need a step stool to get in and out comfortably. The sites are also a bit tight. We were unable to extend our passenger side awning because it would have hit the slide out of the motorhome next to us. The RV park grounds include both extended stay and a mobile home park. The mobile home park tenants were using the restrooms and pool....not sure if that is the arrangement or not. The restrooms, pool and laundry room are very nice and clean. There is a convenience store and deli, and the food looked good. There is just a very small strip of grass for the dogs. The pet walk area is dirt and sticker weeds and is used by the mobile home park children as a playground. The wireless Internet was good but a bit slow in the morning and evening. There was room in front of the space for a tow vehicle. Easy access off the highway and highway noise didn't seem bad.
Bakersfield, California
Bakersfield River Run RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice, extremely well maintained RV park with friendly and helpful staff. Easy access off highway. The entrance and pull up we're easy to navigate. Check in was smooth and efficient. The grounds are beautifully groomed, the roads are wide and the spaces are large. No picnic tables. The restrooms are immaculate and modern. Plenty of grassy areas between spaces and other grassy areas to walk pets. The RV park is on the bank of a river, but it is dry and appears to have been that way for a long time. A little highway noise. Would definitely come back.

Well, it depends, Vader is a beast with 2 actions, Howelrunner helps with the re roll, and Stele with the pick a crit. Most are situational. I have played with Tie swarms, they are tough. I myself would take the acad ties with Howelrunner with no Stele. Vader is the only Tie Adv I use, but he is expensive.

bobby chacon was like 5'4''-5'5''......could hafey have reached him?

the hafey-crawford thread got me to thinking about this one.
arguello was about 5'10''...lopez about 5'9". too tall for the 5'1'' hafey.
bobby chacon was like 5'4''-5'5''......could hafey have reached him?
I think it is very possible that Art Hafey could do
well vs. Bobby Chacon. Yes, it would be a thriller.
- Chuck Johnston
i would have to go with bobby, i think his workrate would
be to much for art , it would be a tough fight for 7-8 rds.
ud for bobby
frank b.
bobby was not known to go all out in the gym, so the sparring between him and art don't mean anything.
frank b.
Chacon was going all out this time, Mr. Balatzar: he had to to keep Hafey off of his chest.
Hafey simply romped him.
I agree it dosen't mean much, but can give you a bit of an indicator as to how the fight would have gone between the two.
I have the tape of them sparring, and Art kicked the hell out of Bobby.
He really gave Chacon a good going over: and he was wearing 16 oz gloves while bobby was wearing 12's.
where was that sparring session you have on tape?
you think bobby would have had a better work rate than art ? i think bobby's best shot would be to box. his work rate would be set by art. conditioning wise i give art a big edge. art was the harder worker. bobby was not always in the greatest shape but he was a born fighter and that alone got him thru many times. not sure it would be enough against a prime art hafey.
The Chacon that fought Danny Lopez, Boza- Edwards, Bazooka Limon,Alfredo Marcano would imo beat Art Haffey
Frank B.
I don't know where exactly it was.
It is in color with Bobby wearing a red t shirt and Art wearing a white one.
Chacon started off by going toe to toe with the guy, but by the second round had most of the fight punched out of him.
Chacon could not keep the guy off of him and was battered to the body quite hard when he kept bending down into Hafey and was straightened up by uppercuts.
Hafey would take a step back after uppercutting the guy and whop him with both hands to the head.
Hafey was also a very classy boxer with some really nifty moves in there as well.
Hafey kept him in a neutral corner most of the time as Chacon was unable to extricate himself from it.
Hafey was the much stronger of the two, and Bobby looked to be about 5'10 (he wasn't of course) as he was so much taller than the guy. Someone else that posts here is putting a DVD out on Hafey and has the session as well.
You should definitely see it on that biography when he puts it out to the general public for sale.

My hair is pretty hard to work with! I have naturally curly, very thick, coarse hair. Naturally, I am a dishwater blonde, but I have lightened my hair since I was 14 years old. My hair is super dry, and I have a lot of problems with breakage and split ends. I only wash it one to two times per week and HAVE to use conditioner every single time. Recently, I have been blow drying and straightening my hair. I love the way it looks straight!! Unfortunately, I have not yet mastered the art of keeping it soft and hydrated!

"I am just looking forward to getting better as a team," said Bridgewater. "We just have to watch film and get better overall."
At 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, Bridgewater is more of a power player than a wing, but he says he is working hard to round out his game.
"The game is coming along well," said Bridgewater. "I have been working on my perimeter game and inside. I am just trying to help my team win a championship."
Given his size and strength, Bridgewater actually looks more like a typical football player than he does a basketball player. Still Bridgewater says he thinks his focus will be on the hardwood going forward.
"I am still trying to decide and I am not real sure about it yet," said Bridgewater. "Right now it seems like I am leaning more toward basketball. It is my first love, but I will see throughout the year."
In terms of his recruitment, several schools remain in the mix.
"I am hearing from LSU, Alabama, South Alabama, Arizona, and a few other schools," he noted.
At the moment no visits have been set up, but Bridgewater does know what he will be looking for in a school.
"Just I look for the background of the school and the education they provide," said Bridgewater. "I want to see if it is a place that I will be comfortable for years. Also my family's opinion is very important."
Right now it looks like basketball is in Bridgewater's future, but it is tough to know for sure if that is where he will end up.

Jamie Freveletti's ultra-marathon running biochemist, Emma Caldridge, is back on stride and researching a strange new mineral reserve with cosmetic potential in the Caribbean when she encounters modern day voodoo, "Dead Asleep." (Harper/403 pages)
On the private Caribbean island of Terra Cay, people are falling into a strange sleep. Is this deadly sleep voodoo or a virulent pathogen?
With the help of her friend, drug enforcement agent Cameron Sumner, and the crew from the security company Darkview, Freveletti must prevent the strange sleeping sickness from becoming a global epidemic while they try to stop a group of arms dealers from trading their latest, and most dangerous, weapon yet - a gun capable of firing a bullet manufactured without metal and thus, undetectable by conventional X-ray screening methods used in airports.
Article Photos
Freveletti writes an exciting adventure which includes a riveting description of the dangers of scuba diving in the Bermuda triangle.
The Emma Caldridge stories, filled with mind-boggling details of biology and botany, such as the manchineel tree which spews a sap so caustic it can cause severe burns and blindness, reminds us of the enormous power of nature.
This book is set for release on October 30, 2012.

Post-Match Quote Sheet: U.S. WNT 4, China 1
Aug 27, 2006
On the team's strategy against China:
"We worked them very hard and put them under a lot of pressure. They had a hard time matching Abby's strength, so I think the way they tried to solve that was to give her a few kicks to the back of the legs. Abby did well and held up to it, so in the end the girl ended up getting a red card (for kicking her). I was proud of Abby for keeping her head after getting kicked that many times."
On giving up an early goal and recovering:
"We've been playing very well defensively, and they played right up the middle of our defense and scored an easy one. We were disappointed. I think it did fire up the players though, and they fought back well. Cat Whitehill – right now anything she shoots goes in the net. We were fortunate on that goal, but it brought us back in the game."
On the crowd:
"They were fantastic. The field is fantastic and the crowd was fantastic."
On the play of Amy LePeilbet:
"I thought Amy played very well. She is very solid defensively and did a great job. In the second half we put Rampone in just to match up with their speed."
WNT forward Kristine Lilly
On the crowd and stadium:
"We always want more, but the crowd was great and this is a great stadium to play in. I think the stadium is great. I think it's what we need in America – more soccer-specific stadiums. If we keep this up, then more and more people will come out. The grass was pretty good and, for the most part, it was faster than I thought it was going to be."
On going down a goal:
"I think they snuck a goal in, which does happen against good teams like China, but I think what is important is what our team did to get back. I think our defense got a little tighter, our midfielders stayed together more to crowd the middle and we scored some goals."
On scoring the free kick:
"We work on getting the ball on the face of the goal, but I think I was a bit lucky."
On her second goal of the game:
"I saw the keeper come out a bit and I was pretty much too tired to keep going with the ball."
WNT forward Abby Wambach
On the physical play of China today:
"I think the only other time I've felt this way after a game was after the finals in the Olympics. China played very physically. They'd scouted me well, and saw that the only way maybe to defend against me is to keep me on the ground and not let me make plays. I think they did a good job scouting, and my body is sore. They did a good job getting me to the ground."
On the foul that resulted in the ejection:
"I just know what I've heard, and a few people thought it was an elbow, a couple thought it was a kick. It's just one of those things that is part of the game and I don't hold it against her. We were teammates on the Washington Freedom and, like I said, it's just part of soccer."
On coming back from a deficit:
"It just goes to show you that even though this team is young, we're willing to fight and we're willing to go to battle until the last minute, no matter who is on the field or what the score is. After a team goes down a goal you could pack it in and think you're done but it just goes to show you the character of this team – all of the players, not just the older ones, but all the players on the field."
On the play of Amy LePeilbet:
"Amy was great, she was one of the more solid defenders, and she's very consistent. She does a great job keeping herself between her player and the goal, and I can tell you that the goalkeepers love having her on the back line."
On the facility:
"I think it's beautiful. The crowd was great, it was a good atmosphere and obviously we put on a good show today."
On being 4-0 in the domestic games this year:
"It just says that we've had a good foundation for many years, so the younger players that are coming up and getting the experience now going into a World Cup. They already have a lot of experience playing in World Championships at the U-19 and U-20 levels. It shows that this team is very deep and, whether they're still in college, or if they're 35 years old and scoring two goals today, we're willing to come out and fight."
WNT midfielder Leslie Osborne
On going down a goal:
"We did a good job to keep our composure. We knew they were going to come out like that. We just kept good composure and played our game instead of resorting back to their game. They played a 4-5-1 so they were really countering with their outside midfielders. We just tried to play our game and not change the way we play because of their system. In the second half we just went out and had more fun, we were just getting forward more and keeping the ball more. In the first half it seemed like we tried to force things too much."
On playing 90 minutes:
"It felt good, and it felt like I was ready for it. I've been training against the best players in the world for a couple years now so I've been enjoying myself and trying to make the team better. I'm finally playing the way I know how to play on this team. You can't get the game experience any other way."
WNT defender Amy LePeilbet
On the physical play:
"It was typical USA – China and they're a great team, so it was a battle to the end."
On playing in front of hometown fans:
"I saw the signs and it was exciting to see them. I had a group here and that was very energizing. I haven't been back in a long time, so it was definitely great to be in front of my family today."

The fact there's a Co-operative in nearly every town across the UK is a good thing. However, our stores and branches are also there to help make good things happen in the local communities they serve. These are just some of the ways we go about it.
So far, Co-operative Members have donated over £15 million to make good things happen in their community. They've done this by donating their share of the profits to the Community Fund. This is our scheme that helps community groups, local clubs and self-help organisations to continue doing the good work they do.
Because the money raised in your local area stays in your area, you get to see first hand the effects of your generosity. Groups can apply for grants of up to £2000 and use the money to fund anything from new equipment to sports gear, travel costs or rent.
The Co-operative Foundation is an independent charitable trust set up in 2000. The Foundation's current grant making programme, Truth about Youth, is aiming to challenge and change negative perceptions about young people, by working with seven charities in cities around the UK.
We support the creation and growth of co-operative businesses, through The Co-operative Enterprise Hub, which provides expert advice on the practicalities of running a co-operative business, from legal implications to membership structures. Start-up and existing co-operatives can access free advice and support, including up to four days of specialist consultancy, and a package of grants and loans.

Adventures In Darkness: The Summer of an Eleven-Year-Old Blind Boyby Tom Sullivan
From the book jacket: Blind since birth, author and well-known entertainer Tom Sullivan recounts with wicked wit and captivating clarity the hair-raising adventures of his eleventh year in 1950s New England... escaping from his blind school, reliefpitcher in the neighborhood league, and boxing in a backyard bout with the neighborhood bully Adventures in Darkness is a classic tale of boyhood adventure through a formative season, a summer of hilarity and heart, tears and triumph! armed with a daring dream, and the fearlessness and mischief of youth. Tom refused to settle for the conventional confines of his blindness, and set in motion a chain of events that dynamically changed his life forever.
Alive Day: A Story of Love and Loyaltyby Tom Sullivan Betty White
Psychiatrist Dr. Brenden McCarthy determines he'll do whatever it takes to rescue a young marine from despair. But ultimately it's McCarthy's big-hearted and courageous black Labrador, Nelson, who teaches both men the real meaning of life after near-death.
As I See Itby Tom Sullivan
Bestselling author Tom Sullivan explores life without sight and finds it rich and rewarding. In fact, he's gleaned a number of gifts from his "affliction," including: * I've never assessed my relationship with people according to the limits of labels or assumption. * I've enjoyed a world of senses available to all of us but almost never explored by the majority of those with sight. * I've made challenge my road to limitless opportunity. * I've cultivated a clear sense of my own purpose. * I've learned to be passionate, celebrating my own uniqueness through the expression of that passion. * I've found a powerful faith that has become my foundation for living. * I've learned to love unconditionally through the interdependent relationship I share with my wife, Patty, and my children. Through insightful stories and emotive writing, Tom describes a life of fullness, not lack, as he's made blindness a positive. For Tom Sullivan--author, actor, athlete, singer, entertainer, and producer--a life with blindness has been a life with very few true limits. In this elegant exploration of the senses, he considers the different challenges he's faced and explains the wonder he carries because, not in spite, of his blindness. *** . . . I realize that my way of looking at the world is unique and, yes, special. I'm sure that in God's essential plan I was chosen to be blind, and after many years of struggle I've come to terms with that remarkable truth. Along my journey I have learned much that I hope to pass on to you, but for now here's what I want you to understand: blindness is the best thing that has ever happened to Tom Sullivan. Would I like to be able to see? Certainly; to see the beauty of nature in all of its forms, the faces of the people I love, and the myriad colors of a sunset. I'd love to play center field for the Red Sox or catch a touchdown pass from Tom Brady and the Patriots. But I have not only become content with my lot, I now celebrate my own uniqueness with closed eyes but a completely open soul. The joy in writing this book is in my knowing that even though I quite likely will never see as you do, I might just be able to change your perceptions and broaden the possibilities for your own appreciation for the grace God has provided us with and the life we're so blessed to live. So, take a look--as I see it--inside out, rather than outside in. --Tom Sullivan, from the Prologue
If You Could See What I Hearby Tom Sullivan Derek Gill
Portrayal of the life of blind musician Tom Sullivan.
The Leading Lady: Dinah's Storyby Tom Sullivan Betty White
Emmy award-winning actress Betty White may be a hit on the popular sitcom The Golden Girls; Tom Sullivan, bestselling author of If You Could See What I Hear may have made his mark as a multitalented performer, songwriter, and lecturer-but the real star of this heartwarming story is an extraordinary dog named Dinah. For nine years this beautiful golden retriever was Tom's best friend, his right arm-and his eyes. A world-class guide dog trained by the Leader Dog Foundation for the Blind, Dinah gave Tom, a man who has been blind since birth, his first real taste of independence. And she gave the entire Sullivan family-wife Patty, daughter Blythe, and son Tom, Jr.-unfaltering loyalty and love. Together, Tom and Dinah traveled this entire country countless times, and she led him safely through crowded airport terminals, city traffic, strange hotels, and onstage performances. But when Dinah reached the age of eleven, she began to lose her edge. Her eyes were no longer as sharp, her step not as sure. The once-assured guide dog became defensive and hesitant. Although Tom hated the idea of working with any dog but Dinah, it seemed to be his only choice, and Nelson, a black Labrador retriever, joined the family. Dinah, however, was not ready to settle back into a life of leisure in the Sullivan household while an interloper took over her job and her master. She stopped eating, began hiding away, and simply gave up on life. Yet Dinah's story has a whole new beginning.. .and her name is Betty White. In The Leading Lady, Tom and Betty, close friends for years who have become more like family thanks to their special golden girl, take turns talking about Dinah. Here is how the super canine came into Tom's life; the hard work and frustration man and dog endured to become a team; and the adventures--some traumatic, some joyful--that cemented the bond between them. Here, too, is how Betty rescued this gallant lady in distress and how caring, courageous Dinah became a full-fledged member of Betty's family overnight, with a brand-new job to do. Most of all, here is the essence of Dinah, a dog who made a positive difference in every life she touched.
A Short Life Well Livedby Tom Sullivan
Brian O'Connor is a successful lawyer, loving husband, and devoted father. He also happens to be blind. Driven his entire life to be independent, Brian has achieved much, but he has been so busy proving his triumph over blindness that he hasn't stopped to consider how his carefully crafted life can all come crashing down in an instant. When his young son is diagnosed with cancer, the long ensuing battle brings Brian to his knees as he comes to terms with his own limitations and his need for faith.
Together: A Story of Shared Visionby Tom Sullivan Betty White
From the book "If this dog loves me enough to lay down his life for my survival, how can I just give up?" One misstep on a mountain climbing trip plunged Brenden McCarthy into darkness by stealing his sight and everything else he held dear. But a too-independent guide dog named Nelson just might lead him back to life . . . if they don't kick him out of guide dog school first. Brenden can't accept the fact that he's lost his sight. And Nelson can't accept that he's been paired with someone other than his former master. Just as Brenden starts to live again, a devastating setback causes him to try to end it all. Brenden releases Nelson and sits down in the middle of an intersection. At that moment, everything changes when Nelson freely decides he'd rather join Brenden in death than live without him. Now they need a leap of faith and a love beyond words to make it.

John Legend Shares New Single "The Beginning"
John Legend fans were bummed when he postponed his fall tour last year, choosing instead to devote his attention to finishing his upcoming album Love in the Future. And while there's no word yet on when the project will arrive in stores, John took to Twitter on Tuesday to offer his fans something to hold them over in the meantime.
"You've been waiting long enough, this is just 'The Beginning,' he tweeted, referring to the title of his new single, "The Beginning."
The echoing track features John, who's engaged to model Chrissy Teigen, singing about love at first sight that turns into something more. "It's the beginning of forever/ you don't have to go/ sometimes you just know," he sings.
John's fourth studio album, Love in the Future, is due out later this year.

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when an organ in the pelvis, or the top portion of the vagina known as the vaginal vault, drops and protrudes through the vagina. This condition may cause embarrassing urinary incontinence, vaginal ulceration, sexual dysfunction and problems with bowel movements.
If you have this condition, you may be a candidate for a new minimally invasive robotic surgery called da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy. Performed by Urogynecologist Dr. Brent Parnell, the procedure uses mesh to hold the vaginal vault in the correct anatomical position.
Benefits of robotic SacrocolpopexySacrocolpopexy has traditionally been performed as an open surgery, requiring a 10-12 inch horizontal incision in the lower abdomen. But the robotic technology lets specially trained surgeons perform the procedure through a series of small incisions. Georgia Regents Medical Center's medical staff includes a board certified urogynecologist who has performed more of these surgeries than any other physician in the Augusta area.
The robotic procedure offers numerous benefits over traditional open surgery:
Don't let vaginal vault prolapse impact your lifestyle. Schedule an online appointment now or call 706-721-CARE (2273) or 800-736-CARE (2273) to speak to a member of our CARE team.

now that I've reread the help files, please note that my problem as stated was that the HIGH option under REC Mode is not highlighted. Since, as stated, the number of megabytes to be dubbed does not exceed the number of megabytes available, the question is why the HIGH option is not available. Until I can answer this, I can't high speed dub multiple titles, no matter how many titles I have in the list.
Upthread you wrote you're using DVD-R. Deleting titles from DVD-R does not free up space. It only makes "deleted" titles unplayable.

Neighborhoods: Willshire Terrace
great place – Without a doubt one of my favorite restaurants in San Antonio. Great service and very consistent food. The menu has changed on occassion with more hits than misses. Bizarre venue on he outside, but once inside is very warm upstiars. Bar was very busy on a friday night, but we found a nice quiet corner after diiner. Excellent seafood special with hawaiian fish. Wine kind of pricey, but overall worth the price. I' will go back.
Great for seafood, not for steak – The service is wonderful, my sister and I love the atmosphere during lunch and have for a long time. The BLT salad is wonderful! My sister had the Burger and said it was dry in the middle. Me being a Texas girl, tried the Steak with the garlic potatoes. Everything on the plate was delish, however the steak was tough. I ordered it med-rare like my husband likes, and it still had some gristle around the edges. For fish I will eat at Silo, for Steak I will go back to Kirby?s across the street and might even try Paesanos.
Fine Dining in San Antonio = Silo's – We went to Silo's for our anniversary and loved it. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was A+. From presentation, to service, to ambiance. This is a great cross between fine dining and cool lounging. The restaurant is lit just right for a romantic evening and the lounge is perfect for that after dinner drink and to relax. The wait staff was extremely courteous and professional. The menu was great and the surf and turf was just perfect. The lunch prices are significantly cheaper than the dinner prices but either is worth every penny!! Dinner for my wife and I with appetizers, two entrees, dessert, and one drink each was about $160. Thanks for a memorable night of fun, relaxation, and fine dining.
If it's not Broken, don't fix it. – Have been a customer for 2 years and visit 1604 for lunch at least 4 time per month. What happened to the NY steak? Last few have not been the same. Soup, Salad and 1/2 club is wonderful. My firm partners enjoy a quick and quality lunch and often dine with our wifes on the weekend. Will still enjoy a light lunch, but prefer the NY Steak at Kirby's. Service is the best in town. Rick T.
Worst service ever – Personally I will never go back to this restaurant, the food was ok, the service was horrible right from the get go w/ the hostess being plain rude. My word of advice, if the hostess hates her job that much, just quit!!!!!!!!! I will never go there again, I should have known from the beginning when I called to setup a reservation I received the worst customer service ever. I receive better treat at MCdonalds! Stay away from it. Avoid it at all costs.
Wonderfull!!! – My husband and I went there on a Friday night as a "date night" and had a wonderfull time! We dined at the 1604 location and it was just lovely. we have been to the other location on Austin highway many times and have always enjoyed it. Our server, Karen, was very attentive, very sweet, and knowledgable about the food and wine. The food presentation was unbelievable and tasted just as great as it looked. It can be a little nosiey on the weekends, but well worth it! I would definetly reccomend this place to all my friends!
Snooty Staff – I don't know if the food is good or not. We were kept waiting in the bar for so long, we gave up and left before being seated. We went in the middle of the week without reservations but were told we would be seated shortly...it never happened. I would be willing to try again with reservations if the staff had been friendlier, but that won't happen now. The only thing we found to be elevated about Silo's were the staff's noses.
Great Food, Snobby Atmosphere – I lived and worked in New York for four years and I would have to say, the food at Silo compares with some of the better restaurants I dined in while there. My only complaint is that along with the great food came the snobbish atmosphere found at some eateries up north. I'd like to leave the NYC snobbery where I left it, in NY. If you are looking for a relaxed San Antonio dining experience, you may be disappointed when you are met with a SOHO attitude. I would honestly put up with it again to have the food. The steaks were fantastic, the wine list is extensive, and my salmon was out of this world.
Great Food! – The food is always amazing. Service is good. Great place for a nice lunch too and less expensive at lunch time as well. Smaller dining area, so it can fill up quick. I recommend reservations.
Best Cuisine in town! – Brilliant! The Austin Hwy location has a great industrial feel to it, with some of the best artwork hanging all about the lower level of the building. When you head up in the elevator, you really don't know what to expect. When the doors open, it is amazing! The courteous staff are wonderful and every table is a great seat. The place even smells absolutely amazing. The food is melt in your mouth out of this world! They have quite a wide variety of tastey treats including a mouth watering chocolate souffle! Just remember to order that upon arrival as it takes a while to make.
They also have a Northside location (1604 & Blanco) that is even more lovely (if you can believe that)! All in all Silo is where it's at! If you want to have a romantic night out, its perfect! If you want to impress relatives, business associates...etc. Silo is where you want to take them.

- Obama, Ney and DeLay Also Among Stanford's InvestmentsFebruary 18, 2009 7:03 PM
As the story behind the embattled investment company Stanford Financial Group develops, we thought we'd take an even closer look at the seeds the company may have tried to plant in Washington via campaign contributions. When looking at ALL lawmakers to collect money from the company's PAC and employees (not just members of the current Congress), some additional, important names appear at the top of the recipient list.
- Investment Manager Stanford Was Big-Time Campaign ContributorFebruary 17, 2009 3:26 PM
Money manager Robert Allen Stanford now has two things in common with embattled investment manager Bernard Madoff: both have come under scrutiny for allegedly defrauding their investors, and both have given significant funds to politicians. Between its PAC and its employees, Stanford Financial Group has given $2.4 million to federal candidates, parties and committees since 2000.
- Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense CommitteesFebruary 12, 2009 1:55 PM
The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

" If the land cannot produce sufficient profit from agriculture from production or subsidies not to produce, to pay the taxes then the land should not be used for agriculture. Obviously, considering the area, if agriculture does not pay the taxes then it is not economically viable in the area. The land will be put to use in a productive enough way to produce a sufficient tax base. City official owe it to other taxpayers to ensure that other taxpayers pay what their land is worth. Not in what they produce but by what can be produced. If you are not producing it then it is a luxury too choose to keep the land or move agriculture to where it is more economically viable. Luxuries should not be payed for by other taxpayers. But honestly I would start donating to your local politician and deliver some donuts. "

Introduction to Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide, after heart disease, and are responsible for more deaths annually than cancer. Infectious diseases claim 16.2 percent of people who die each year. Children under the age of five are especially vulnerable, and infectious diseases account for a disproportionate number deaths in this group.
Of the top ten causes of death reported by the World Health Organization in 2008, four were due to infectious diseases. However, low-income countries are more severely affected by infectious diseases, and in these countries, five of the top killers were due to infectious agents, with lower respiratory infections being the number one cause of death.

The top single agent killers are HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Lower respiratory infections (including pneumonia) and diarrheal diseases are caused by a variety of agents.
Agents that Cause Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases can be caused by several different classes of pathogenic organisms (commonly called germs). These are viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi. Almost all of these organisms are microscopic in size and are often referred to as microbes or microorganisms. Although microbes can be agents of infection, most microbes do not infect humans or cause disease in humans.
The majority of agents that cause disease in humans are viruses or bacteria, although the parasite that causes malaria is a notable example of a protozoan.
Examples of diseases caused by viruses are HIV/AIDS, influenza, SARS, smallpox, diarrheal diseases, hepatitis, Ebola, and West Nile. Examples of diseases caused by bacteria are anthrax, tuberculosis, salmonella, respiratory and diarrheal diseases.
Transmission of Infectious Diseases
There are a number of different routes by which a person can become infected with an infectious agent. For some agents, humans must come in direct contact with a source of infection, such as contaminated food, water, fecal material, body fluids or animal products. With other agents, infection can be transmitted through the air.
The route of transmission of infectious agents is clearly an important factor in how quickly an infectious agent can spread through a population. An agent that can spread through the air has greater potential for infecting a larger number of individuals than an agent that is spread through direct contact. Another important factor is the survival time of the infectious agent in the environment. An agent that survives only a few seconds between hosts will not be able to infect as many people as an agent that can survive in the environment for hours, days, or even longer. These factors are important considerations when determining the risks of potential bioterrorism agents.
Impact of Infectious Diseases on Society
Infectious diseases have plagued humans throughout history, and in fact have even shaped history on some occasions. The plagues of biblical times, the Black Death of the Middle Ages, and the "Spanish flu" pandemic of 1918 are but a few examples. The 1918 flu pandemic killed more than a half million people in the United States and up to 50 million people worldwide and is thought to have played a contributing role in ending World War I.
Epidemics and pandemics have always had major social and economic impacts on affected populations, but in our current interconnected world, the impacts are truly global. Consider the SARS outbreak of early 2003. This epidemic demonstrated that new infectious diseases are just a plane trip away, as the disease was spread rapidly to Canada, the United States, and Europe by air travelers. Even though the SARS outbreak was relatively short-lived and geographically contained, fear inspired by the epidemic led to travel restrictions and the closing of schools, stores, factories, and airports. The economic loss to Asian countries was estimated at $18 billion. A prolonged and more widespread outbreak would obviously have had a much greater economic impact. Recently, a new SARS-like virus, named MERS-CoV, has emerged in the Middle East, which causes a severe respiratory illness that has been fatal to approximately half of the people infected with this virus. It is currently too soon to know if this virus will continue to spread throughout the Middle East and beyond.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, illustrates the economic and social impacts of a prolonged and widespread infection. The disproportionate loss of the most economically-productive individuals has reduced workforces and economic growth rates of affected countries, especially those with high infection rates. This impacts the health care, education, and political stability of these nations. In southern Africa where the infection rate is highest, life expectancy has plummeted in a mere decade from 62 years in 1990 -1995 to 48 years in 2000 – 2005. The existence of 12 million children under that age of 18 that were orphaned by HIV/AIDS in this region by 2003 highlights the impact of infectious diseases on families and societies.
Another recent example is the H1N1 influenza or "swine" flu pandemic that began in the spring of 2009. For the first time in the long history of flu pandemics, the beginnings of an outbreak were detected and the spread of the disease was monitored on an almost daily basis as air travelers carried it around the globe. The new H1N1 flu traveled around the world with unprecedented speed and in a few short months made its impact felt globally. Even though the disease was relatively mild for most people, some schools closed – more than 700 across the United States at its peak - and a number of infected people were quarantined. Mexico suffered great economic loss and damage to its tourism industry in an attempt to contain the outbreak in its early stage. After the H1N1 flu waned, yet another variant of influenza virus has emerged. The new H7N9 virus was first detected in birds and humans in China in the spring of 2013, but it currently does not appear to be spreading from person to person.
A severe pandemic potentially could cause major disruptions to national and global economies, close schools and businesses for weeks, restrict social interactions, and lead to disagreements between nations regarding the allocation of limited doses of antiviral drugs and vaccine.
Challenges in Infectious Disease Research
Despite significant advances in infectious disease research and treatment, the control and eradication of these diseases faces major challenges. A WHO report released in 2007 warns that infectious diseases are spreading more rapidly than ever before and that new infectious diseases are being discovered at a higher rate than at any time in history. In just the past five years, the WHO has identified over 1000 epidemics of infectious diseases including avian flu, swine flu, polio, and cholera. With greatly increased human mobility, infectious diseases have the potential to swiftly become global epidemics and pandemics as evidenced by the current swine flu pandemic.
Some of the reasons for the difficulty in combating infectious diseases are:
- New infectious diseases continue to emerge
- Old infectious diseases increase in incidence or geographical distribution
- Old infectious diseases previously under control begin to re-emerge
- Potential for intentional introduction of infectious agents by bioterrorists
- Increasing resistance of pathogens to current antimicrobial drugs
- Breakdowns in public health systems and communication between nations
These challenges are considered further in Emerging Infectious Diseases and Bioterrorism Agents.
