We choose this hotel because it was a little outside of the city to make parking easier. It meant for a long walk in to the old city and limited choice for restaurants but it was a good choice.

I have reserved at Hostelworld two double rooms but the hotel received only total number of persons and thus reserved four person room for us. Hostelworld should in their emails to guest and messages to hotels be more clear in this respect. Yes the reservation email to me was also not clear what I have reserved. The Hotel Oasis the person at the reception was very nice and changed to two double rooms. Thanks.

1938 - Orson Welles shocks the nation with radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" by H. G. Wells. A large number of listeners who tune into the program ten minutes late (because the singer on the Edgar Bergan show was not that great). Because of this, they didn't know this was a fictional story and start to panic. The story was brought through a series of "Newscasts" that Welles portrayed the reporter on the street and how these giant machines landed and began to attack the population.This event would launch Orson Welles career. Of course, he would go on to create Citizen Kane, Othello, Don Quixote and other classic cinema pieces.

Today were pleased to announce our free carrier unlock for iPhone3G/3GS owners with a baseband later than 05.13.04. The unlock for that baseband exploited the AT+XAPP command, thanks to a crash initially discovered by @sherif_hashim (@Oranav also found this crash). So what hole are we exploiting today, since Apple closed that AT+XAPP hole? Well, were exploiting the exact same hole!
It turns out that the very first iPad firmware 3.2.2 has baseband version 06.15.00 still vulnerable to AT+XAPP. The iPad baseband is built for the exact same baseband chip as the iPhone3G/3GS theyre fully compatible! Some of us have been running 06.15 for weeks now on our iPhones in preparation for this release.
Since 06.15 is a higher version than 05.14 or 05.15 (where AT+XAPP is gone), anyone stuck at those versions can simply upgrade to 06.15 to unlock again! Luckily for us, Apple *still* provides the iPad FW 3.2.2 with this vulnerable baseband right from their own servers. (Grab it now, before they take it down!)
Weve been busy updating both PwnageTool and redsn0w to make the baseband update as seamless as possible.
1. First up is PwnageTool 4.1.3 Unlock Edition. It has a special dialog box which will ask you if you want to update to the iPad baseband. You must already have the iPad 3.2.2 IPSW on your computer (see the above link) .so just point PwnageTool at it (or let it find it on its own if youre in simple mode).
2. Directly after PwnageTool 4.1.3 is available, the official ultrasn0w repo ultrasn0w.com will be updated with ultrasn0w 1.2, which covers iPhone 4 baseband 01.59.00 and iPhone 3G/3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04 and now 06.15.00.
3. Finally, well release an update to redsn0w today for those without Macs and cant run PwnageTool. The new redsn0w will give you the option to update your baseband to 06.15 too.
1. There is no way to come back down from 06.15, and theres no hiding the baseband version from Apple. Youll be voiding your warranty in a very obvious way.
2. If some future baseband comes out with a critical fix, you wont be able to update to it if it remains down in the 05.xx sequence (then again, you wouldnt update to it if you wanted to keep your unlock anyway).
3. Starting with FW 4.2.1 if you have 06.15 on your iPhone you wont ever be able to restore to stock firmware (it will fail). Youll need to only restore to custom IPSWs (then again, if youre unlocker you should already be doing that).
Certainly dont update to 06.15 if you dont need to! Only do this if you need the unlock and youre stuck on 05.14 or 05.15, and youre willing to assume the above risks.
This PwnageTool also contains a 4.2.1 bundle for iPhone3G owners for all else, its still only 4.1. If you have an iPhone3GS with an old bootrom, the new redsn0w will handle 4.2.1 for you (in fact it covers 4.2.1 for all devices, even though some of them are still tethered at 4.2.1 until @comex can work some untethering magic). iPhone3GS users with old bootroms who want to go to 4.2.1 should not use this PwnageTool! Update to stock 4.2.1 first, then use the upcoming redsn0w to update your baseband.
Please feel free to use our comments section for questions. We have some very knowledgeable and helpful moderators: angiepangie, Confucious, dhlizard, and Frank55!

I'm deleting what I wrote before because I stupidly thought you were talking about turning a Drake II into a 1.6, not turning a Drake II 1G (CST454CUFG) into a 1.28. I just didn't read carefully enough.
The guts are different, and I don't know what if any adjustments can be made on the 1G flush thingy.
I suppose you could rip out all the guts and put in a Korky 3" Universal Flush valve and a regular trip handle, but I wouldn't count on it unless I measured the hole in the tank. Not an easy fix, though.
Sorry I didn't read carefully enough.
One thing I am curious about is ChefWong's impression of the 1G as "petite". From the photos, it looks as if the regular Drake II is sleeker than the 1G. The tank on the 1G has always looked boxy to me in photos, particularly when compared to the regular Drake II. That's why it's important to see this stuff in person, because apparently the tank makes a different impression; could be it is smaller than it appears, something you can't tell without something to compare it to.

- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyAtherosclerosis Refer to label instructions [1 star]Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets.Athletic Performance Refer to label instructions [1 star]Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.Obesity Refer to label instructions [1 star]Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.
Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

20 Wins, Postseason Victories Highlight 2012-13 MBB Season
TULSA, Okla.-The ORU men's basketball team, and Coach Scott Sutton, knew the challenge ahead in 2012-13 as they saw national and mid-major powerhouses on the schedule, but missed opportunities and other adversity led to disappointment early in the season. Even though the preseason favorites in the Southland Conference did not hold rank, ORU posted a second consecutive 20-win season and won a postseason tournament game for the first time in 38 years.
Seniors Damen Bell-Holter and Warren Niles ended their careers in the top-10 in a number of single season and career statistical categories in ORU history. Niles finished with 1,984 career points (8th) and 292 made 3-pointers (4th), while Bell-Holter finished fifth with 878 career rebounds and fourth with 139 career blocks.
"I still feel the same that I did after our loss to Weber State," said Sutton after a couple of weeks to reflect on the season. "I think it's a season full of missed opportunities, but that's athletics. There is such a fine line between a great season and an OK season. Anytime you win 20 games and get to the postseason, I think you have to say you had some success and there certainly was, but it could have been a lot better and should have been a lot better. We lost some games that we had no business losing. I thought we lost some close games early in the year that probably affected the confidence of this team."
A pair of postseason victories helped the mood around the Mabee Center though: "I was happy for our seniors, I thought they both had great seasons and they both went out as first team all-conference players. They both had really good careers and probably the best thing was that we were able to come back and beat UC Irvine at home and kind of make up for their senior night loss."
Despite the two seniors who had logged a lot of experience entering the season, it was a young ORU team that took the court, with just 15 years of experience spread out between 15 players, putting ORU in the top-15 for the youngest roster in the nation. Eight players saw their first action in an ORU uniform this season, including seven who had never seen action in a collegiate game, with Shawn Glover being the lone exception.
With unknowns at the point guard position early in the year, ORU got rattled on the road against UTEP to start the season but gained some confidence in a non-Division I game against St. Gregory's. That confidence spilled over into a road victory at Pacific, who was one of two NCAA Tournament teams that ORU took down this year, and a first-round victory over Loyola Marymount in the Great Alaska Shootout.
A loss to eventual champion Charlotte and a second to one of the pre-tournament favorites in Belmont left ORU with fifth place in the tournament.
Nearly a month into the season, ORU returned home for just the second time as they hosted in-state foe Oklahoma in one of the marquee nonconference matchups. ORU trailed for just four minutes the entire game, but surrendered the lead late, dropping a third straight game and second by less than four points.
Big road wins against Missouri State and Texas State took ORU into Tucson, Ariz., but the number four team in the country lived up to the billing, defending its home court.
With almost 13,000 miles of travel already recorded during the nonconference portion of the schedule, ORU hosted Tulsa for the annual PSO Mayor's Cup just before Christmas break. Again it was an ORU lead for the majority of the game, including a 17-point lead at one point. But like OU had in the previous home game, Tulsa made a furious come back and took over late.
Despite a 5-6 record and a disappointing loss to the Golden Hurricane, ORU had plenty to be pleased with, most notably Niles, who was off to one of the hottest starts in the country, shooting at a high percentage and having scored 20 or more points in eight of the first 11 games.
The Golden Eagles made one final road trip during the nonconference season, fighting hard but falling to the eventual Conference USA champion Memphis Tigers on the road, without the services of Steven Roundtree, who injured his leg at practice the night before the game.
Now sitting at 5-7 and without one of their starters, ORU also faced a new conference ahead, which presented new challenges as well.
"One of the challenges of switching conferences was the fact that we had never been to most of these places before," said Sutton. "Not only were we facing new teams, but we had to deal with the challenges of finding new places to stay, and get comfortable with nine new arenas."
ORU could have cashed it in, but instead took two easy road victories to start its Southland Conference tenure. A victory over NCAA Tournament qualifier Northwestern State had ORU feeling good but another stumble at home, this time to regular season champion Stephen F. Austin, left ORU an uncharacteristic 2-3 at home but still 3-1 in league play.
As they seemed to do all season, the Golden Eagles bounced back again and won six in a row in league play, setting up another showdown between the top three teams in the league, ORU, Northwestern State and SFA.
28 turnovers proved the difference against the Demons in the rematch and despite scoring the second most points (67) against the nation's best defense, ORU dropped another game to SFA, going 0-2 on the conference road trip for the first time since January of 2011, falling to 9-3 in the SLC.
To make matters worse, second-leading scorer Glover, who finally seemed to feel comfortable, having scored at least 20 points in four of the last five games, sustained an eye injury in the second half against the Lumberjacks and would not return to the game.
Needing to carry and even bigger load, Bell-Holter posted eight-straight double-doubles in Southland play, adding to an ever-growing and very impressive list of accomplishments. Included in that list was the first 25-point/20-rebound game of the season at the Division I level, and becoming the sixth active player to reach 1,000 points, 750 rebounds, 100 assists and 100 blocks for a career.
A BracketBuster loss to Weber State and an upset on the road at the hands of McNeese halted the momentum gained from three home wins, but the Golden Eagles finished strong, winning the final two games on the road at Lamar and Central Arkansas and claimed the #3 seed in the 2013 Southland Conference Tournament.
An early exit was obviously not what was expected but a pesky Sam Houston team proved that it was hard to beat a team three times and upset the Golden Eagles in the quarterfinals of the Southland Conference Tournament.
From there, ORU had to wait and hope for a postseason bid, sitting on 18 wins and a third-place regular season finish. The CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament jumped at the opportunity to get the Golden Eagles and a first-round trip to Texas to face UT Arlington awaited.
There was a renewed energy from the team and ORU jumped on the Mavericks, leading by as many as 20 on the road, posting the first postseason victory at ORU since 1975 and earning a home game in the second round.
Again ORU looked like a different team than had ended the regular season and cruised to a home victory over UC Irvine, advancing to the quarterfinals of the CIT, where they got a rematch with Weber State. Unfortunately, ORU got caught in a buzz-saw in Ogden, Utah, battling the altitude, and a team that had won 15 of the final 16 games up to that point.
Down two with the ball and six minutes to play, ORU had the chance to advance to the first final four in any postseason tournament in school history, but a spurt by Weber State ended ORU's season at 20-15.
Through it all, ORU may be better in the long run, having gotten additional playing time for a number of first-year guys, filling Sutton with optimism for 2013-14.
"I'm excited about next year," said Sutton. "With the class that we've signed and the guys we have coming back, plus Obi Emegano, who had to sit out last year after transferring, I think we have a great make up for a team that will be good. Obi will have an immediate impact on this team and on this program. He is a high character guy with great leadership qualities. He has experience playing at this level and he will be an immediate impact player. Then we had some guys who gained some experience last year. D.J. Jackson and Korey Billbury will be better, Brandon Conley played a lot of minutes and even Jorden Kaufman, who played early in the year got some experience. We will depend on a lot of these newcomers and you never know how well they'll adjust to this level but it will certainly be one of our more talented teams."

My favorite college football stories of 2012
To mark the passing of another eventful year of championships, triumphs and memorable moments, SI.com's writers are remembering the stories they connected to most across the sports landscape in 2012.
My editors have asked me to share with you my 10 favorite college football stories of 2012, which I'm happy to do, because it means I don't have to discuss realignment or coaches changing jobs. Well that, and because 2012 was a particularly fun season. We have both a national-championship participant (Notre Dame) and a Heisman winner (Johnny Manziel) that nobody saw coming. We had a tense BCS race (three undefeated teams in mid-November) that still managed to resolve itself cleanly, a bevy of memorable upsets (Stanford over USC and Oregon; Baylor over Kansas State) and a number of fantastic finishes (Alabama-LSU and Alabama-Georgia).
I enjoyed this regular season tremendously -- and I only hope the bowls can be nearly as entertaining.
1. The legend of Johnny Football. The week of Texas A&M's scheduled opener against Louisiana Tech (later postponed), I called Aggies offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury to find out more about the then-unknown redshirt freshman who had unexpectedly won Texas A&M's starting quarterback job. Johnny Manziel, a little-known player out of Tivy High in Kerrville, Texas, would be handed the keys to the Aggies' new Air Raid-style offense. "We've never been a big quarterback-run type offense," said Kingsbury. "But if you have a five-receiver route, it's hard to cover five guys and [the quarterback]. We think that's a huge advantage that he brings." Indeed, Manziel's running ability (1,181 rushing yards) and uncanny improvisational skills proved too difficult for most SEC foes to defend, something that became all too evident in the Aggies' 29-24 victory at No. 1 Alabama, a game that would become the defining moment of Manziel's Heisman Trophy-winning season. His nickname, his season-long media gag order and the intrigue of A&M's move to the SEC all contributed to Johnny Football's mystique, but mostly, he was just darn fun to watch -- even on plays that didn't count.
2. Notre Dame's renaissance. The Fighting Irish were never "irrelevant"; they just weren't very good for the past 18 seasons. In fact, I devoted untold column space over those years to the struggles and drama surrounding the Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis eras, respectively. It's much more fun, both for those of us that cover the sport and for longtime fans of college football, when Notre Dame is making news for winning football games. And it's even more interesting that this year, the Irish returned to national championship contention not behind a 40-points-per-game offense like the ones Brian Kelly employed at Cincinnati, but thanks to an old-school, hard-nosed defense led by standout linebacker Manti Te'o. There were times over the years when it seemed unlikely a Midwestern private school playing an independent schedule could ever again reach the heights it so often enjoyed from the 1920s to '80s. But now that it's happened -- and now that the nation once again associates those gold helmets with elite-level football -- it feels only natural. It's as if the Irish were here all along.
3. An SEC title game classic. I've covered seven SEC championship games throughout my career, including two previous editions (Florida-Alabama in 2008 and '09) that served as de facto national semifinals. None could match the intensity, the suspense, the momentum swings and the memorable plays from Alabama's 32-28 win over Georgia. When Alec Ogletree returned a blocked field goal 55 yards for a touchdown to put the Bulldogs up 21-10 midway through the third quarter, it appeared as if Mark Richt would finally secure his landmark victory. Then, when Alabama promptly wiped that lead away six minutes later, it appeared Richt's team was in trouble. But then Georgia reclaimed the lead. Then AJ McCarron responded with a 45-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 3:15 left. Finally, I watched from the sideline as Aaron Murray drove the Bulldogs inside the Alabama 10-yard line only to have time expire after a completed pass inbounds. Between several monstrous rushing performances (Alabama's Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon and Georgia's Todd Gurley), McCarron's clutch throw and the inexplicable final sequence, this was the most exciting game I've covered in years.
4. Bill Snyder rules. I already wrote an ode to Kansas State's 73-year-old patriarch when I nominated him for Sportsman of the Year. I also wrote a feature about him last season when the Wildcats started 7-0, the first indication that Snyder was sparking yet another revival in the Little Apple. But when Kansas State lost 58-17 to Oklahoma last October, it fueled the perception that the team's eventual 10-win Cotton Bowl season was a mirage. Many, including me, predicted the Wildcats would return to earth in 2012. Instead, Snyder's team scored a 24-19 win at Oklahoma on Sept. 22 en route to a 10-0 start and a No. 1 spot in the BCS standings prior to its loss to Baylor on Nov. 17. K-State's success was more explainable this time around with quarterback Collin Klein blossoming into an eventual Heisman finalist and Arthur Brown, Meshak Williams and Ty Zimmerman, among others, comprising a bona fide big-time defense. Still, it's hard to quantify exactly how Snyder continues to produce top-10 teams with top-50 recruiting classes, and it's not like the man is delivering public insights. But then again, that's part of his charm.
5. College football gets a playoff. While covering the games is always the most glamorous part of my job, I spent much of this year stalking conference commissioners outside of hotel meeting rooms in New Orleans, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago and Denver. It was all worth it to be able to forever say I was in the audience at the press conference on June 20 when Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick stood before a ring of his colleagues and announced: "We have reached consensus on a four-team playoff." It marked the culmination of five-plus months of blow-by-blow coverage over such nuances as campus sites versus bowl sites, conference champions or the top four teams. But more notably, it was a watershed moment for a sport that had managed to exist for 143 years without a postseason tournament. While we certainly have our doubts as to whether a four-team bracket determined by a selection committee will satiate fans any more than the long-maligned BCS, this much was clear: We were witnesses to history in the making.
6. Oregon outdoes itself. On Oct. 18, I watched in awe from the press box as Chip Kelly's Ducks exploded for 43 unanswered points just minutes into the second quarter of their game against Arizona State. You would think that after four years of watching Kelly-coached attacks (six dating back to his time as a coordinator), I'd be numb to Oregon's offensive outbursts. But this was something to behold -- something different than I ever witnessed during the Dennis Dixon, Jeremiah Masoli or Darron Thomas/LaMichael James eras. Behind a gifted redshirt freshman quarterback, Marcus Mariota, and a noticeably more physical offensive line, the Ducks reached new levels of explosiveness in 2012. I was in attendance again on Nov. 3 in Los Angeles when Oregon scored the most points (62) any opponent had ever put up against USC. The Ducks aren't the only team that plays fast, but they do so in such clinical fashion (running the same stretch play with Kenjon Barner over and over against the Trojans) as to seem unstoppable -- right up to the part where Stanford went to Eugene and humbled then-unbeaten Oregon, 17-14, in overtime. That, too, has become a staple of Kelly's teams; there's seemingly no middle ground between 42 points and 14. For the first time in three years, the Ducks did not win their conference in 2012. But they were no less entertaining. Arguably, they were even more so.
7. Geno Smith, September Heisman winner. I happened to spend a Saturday off the road on Sept. 29, and while the noon games (or 9 a.m. my time) often tend to be snoozers, I couldn't take my eyes off of the alternatingly fascinating and maddening Baylor-West Virginia game. There were no defenses in sight, as the teams combined for 133 points and an inconceivable 1,507 yards of total offense (Baylor gained 700 and lost). But Smith's performance, in particular, stood above the rest. He attempted 51 passes and only six fell incomplete. He threw for 656 yards and eight touchdowns. At that point in the season, through four games, Smith had thrown 20 touchdowns and no picks. It appeared as if Dana Holgorsen's offense was near the point of perfection. That wasn't the case, as Texas Tech walloped Smith and the Mountaineers, 49-14, two weeks later to start a five-game losing skid. But Smith's hot streak was sure fun while it lasted.
8. Kolton Browning takes on the SEC. We could not have known at the time that Arkansas and Auburn were headed toward season-long implosions. On the night of Sept. 8, the Razorbacks were still a top-10 team playing a so-called gimme game against Louisiana-Monroe of the Sun Belt, and they jumped to a 28-7 third-quarter lead accordingly. But that's when star quarterback Tyler Wilson went out with a head injury, while Warhawks counterpart Browning led his team back, culminating in a game-tying 23-yard touchdown pass with 47 seconds left. More remarkably, in overtime, coach Todd Berry went for it on fourth-and-one when he only needed a field goal. Browning did his best Vince Young impression, as he scrambled, turned a corner and ran for the game-winning 16-yard touchdown. A week later, Browning finished with 481 yards of offense against Auburn, as ULM nearly pulled off another upset before falling in overtime.
9. #MACtion heads to South Beach. When I first started covering college football in the late '90s and early 2000s, the MAC was the most noteworthy of the non-BCS conferences. It produced stars like Chad Pennington, Byron Leftwich and Ben Roethlisberger. Then it slipped into oblivion for about eight years. But starting midway through last season, when Toledo seemed to be putting up 63 points every Tuesday night, MAC football regained an identity -- and a hashtag. The league took things to historic heights this year, notching a record 16 nonconference wins over FBS foes (including Cincinnati, Rutgers, Iowa and Indiana) and seven over bowl teams. The zenith moment was Northern Illinois' 44-37 overtime win against Kent State in a conference championship matchup of 11-1 teams. The Huskies will now represent the league in the Orange Bowl, where quarterback Jordan Lynch (1,771 rushing yards) will enjoy a brighter stage than any of those previous stars ever did. But let us not forget my favorite MAC player in 2012, Kent State's indescribably fast Dri Archer.
10. Duke goes bowling. I'm not right about a lot of things, so I have to pat myself on the back on those rare occasions when a bold prediction comes true. Duke, an ACC basement dweller for the past two decades, will play in a bowl game (the Belk Bowl) for the first time since 1994. The Blue Devils made it anticlimactic, starting 6-2 and clinching bowl eligibility on Oct. 20 (though they haven't won since). Speaking to coach David Cutcliffe during the team's fast start, it was clear how much work he'd put in over the past five years to get to this point, and he was enjoying the heck out of it. The team's biggest standouts, quarterback Sean Renfree, receiver Conner Vernon and cornerback Ross Cockrell, have all been in the program at least four years. Throw in successful seasons by Stanford (11-2), Northwestern (9-3) and Vanderbilt (8-4) and 2012 had a refreshing Revenge of the Nerds feel to it.
(NOTE: Technically, Alabama won the national title on Jan. 9, 2012. But for the purposes of this article, we're considering only the 2012 season and the events of this preseason.)

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
~tatement of Senator Mike Mansfield
Insofar as my position on the Paradise proposal is concerned it is the
same as my position has been on Hungry Horse and is at the present time on both
Libby and Yellowtail. The criteria which has guided me in my consideration of
these proposals have been as follows:
( 1) Is the clan feasible and will it be of benefit to Montana?
(2) Pre a majority of the people directly affected in the area which will
cover the project in favor of it? In order to find this out, it would be necessary
to have a specific proposal showing the approximate area to be incorporated within
the plan. P s yet there has been no definite proposal and no definite recommend ation.
The purpose of the hearing held in Missoula on October 21 was to ascertain
what the people of Montana thought so that the Corps of Engineers would have that
consideration at its disposal, as well as the physical possibilities, when the
matter was up for final consideration by them.
(3) Will such a proposal, if a recommendation in favor of it is made,
incorporate within it - and without question - the protection which the Hungry
Horse P ct affords in guaranteeing to Montana the maximum possible amount of
power for use within the confines of the State of Montana. J>. s the author of the
Hungry Horse authorization bill in the House. I was able to have such a stipulation
contained in that I' ct, and to my knowledge it is the only authorization containing
such a commitment that has ever been passed by the Congress.
In other words, this proposal must be feasible, it must be in accord with
the wishes of the majority of the people directly affected, and it must absolutely
guarantee to Montana the maximum amount of power possible for use within the
What I want to see, in line with my previous and well-known support of
Hungry Horse, Libby and Yellowtail is that every possible consideration and protection
will be given to the ~tate of Montana in the development of this extremely
valuable natural resource . I would point out that, as an illustration, Hungry
Horse b-rought in new industry, broadened the tax base, created greater employ ment,
lowered REP. rates, increased the valuation of Flathead County from approximately
36 million dollars before Hungry Horse to approximately 86 million
dollars at the pre sent time. Furthermore , all this was done without harming
anybody in the ~tate of Montana, but, as a matter of fact, benefiting everybody.
I should like to point out that nothing definite can be done in relation to the
Paradise proposal until a final recommendation is made by the U. S . P rmy Corps
of Engineers . I am hopeful that its recommendations would be forthcoming at the
earliest possible moment so that this proposal could be finalized and the feeling
~f uncertainty in connection with it brought to a head.

Mona Simpson's sixth novel, Casebook, visits the country of divorce through the eyes of California teenager and Sherlock Holmes wannabe, Miles Adler-Hart. Aided by his sidekick Hector (living through the aftermath of his own parents' breakup), Miles recounts their earnest, if often fumbling, effort to make sense of the emotional disturbance that inevitably surrounds even the most amicable end of a marriage and the survivors' halting attempts to rebuild their lives. Simpson brings this all off with style, blending pathos with humor to create an appealing story.

"I loved the design of the RSVP card and it matched our invitations, but we aren't personalizing a dinner for guests - we're just catering certain foods we choose. So we didn't need the entree selections. Instead, I asked that it ask for song requests and the three lines to be numbered and blank instead of listing food choices. I also asked for a # sign to be inside the "accepts" and "declines" areas so that no one thinks to write "yes" instead of the amount. It was perfect and the designer did a wonderful job changing it to fit my needs."
"Order in the Signature White (Pearl) paper and it is really nice looking. High-quality print and they were able to customize the wording as we wanted."
"I loved, loved these! The polka dots were wonderful and whimsical and a compliment to the tiny dots on the invitation and reception card. Also, the team worked closely with me to make sure all of the wording was correct and even helped with some etiquette questions that I had."
"These response cards are great! Everything was perfect! When I sent the preview and requested a change, it was updated the same day! Great product and customer service."
"I loved the size of the cards!! They were bigger than I anticipated, but it stood out! I love the font used! Customization was super easy. I was even able to put information on the back of the card as we wanted to have a line for song request and shuttle use. I am super happy!"

Bill Raftery: broadcaster, confidant and everyone's favorite bar buddy
Story Highlights
With signature phrases like "Onions" and "The Kiss," Bill Raftery is legendary
The former coach is sharp with his analysis and always quick with a joke
Raftery will broadcast his 28th NCAA tournament with Verne Lundqvist
NEW YORK -- About a decade ago, a group of 13 former coaches and players assembled for a three-day golf outing at the Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina. Among those in attendance were Chuck Daly, Billy Cunningham and various members of the North Carolina family, including Dean Smith. They lived like frat brothers, playing 36 holes each day.
Paired off in golf carts, broadcaster Bill Raftery was left to drive his own. To fill his empty seat for the last morning's round, Raftery, who made quick friends with the course pro and his wife, had them help him locate a blond-haired blow-up doll. As he approached the tee in his cart, driving in super-slow motion, Raftery wrapped his arm around his new best friend. One by one the others would look up, then fall in laughter.
"It was like pushing dominoes as I went by," Raftery recalled.
"Bill's a good golfer," Cunningham said, "but a plus-three handicap after six o'clock."
To Raftery, life is a roast, replete with raised glasses and howling laughter. Since stepping down as Seton Hall's basketball coach in 1981 two weeks before the start of the season, Raftery has been a color analyst for CBS and ESPN, coining priceless phrases like "Onions!," "The Kiss" and "Send it in, Jerome!" He has worked college basketball and NBA games and called last year's six-overtime Big East tournament game between Syracuse and UConn.
"The voice is so undeniably distinctive and the vernacular so unique that if makes for memorable moments," said Sean McManus, president of CBS Sports.
Somewhere in between the 60-odd games he works per year, Raftery, now 66, has managed to chase closing time in pubs from Kearney, N.J., to Killarney, Ireland, all the while keeping his audiences rapt like the favorite uncle at a wedding. Raftery uses coaches as Zagat Surveys, picking postgame establishments that he visits on return trips. To family, he's "Uncle One More." Even his triple bypass surgery in 1992 was celebrated afterward when a friend sent a string quartet to the hospital to perform Zing Went The Strings of Your Heart.
"My biggest fear is when he does a 9 o'clock game in our place," says Villanova coach Jay Wright. "You won't see him until close to midnight and then he won't be done with you until about 5 a.m."
This week Raftery takes Manhattan, calling the night sessions of the Big East tournament for ESPN. He will receive his first-round NCAA assignment Sunday.
"I tell guys in the business all the time, 'Would you rather be [Adolph] Rupp or Raft?" said Hofstra coach Tom Pecora, referencing the legendary Kentucky coach who won 876 games in 41 seasons but was known to be a racist. "You can win almost 900 games and be a jerk or you can be the best human being and walk away a winner."
Raftery's sister, Rita, a nun and president of College of Saint Elizabeth in New Jersey, laughs when asked what she thinks of his on-air vocabulary of lingerie and sweet kisses: "Oh, that's just spontaneous Bill!"
To the company he keeps, he can do no wrong.
"He's the only person I know who can say, 'F--- you' and make you think it's a compliment," said ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, who was at Pinehurst and works with Raftery and play-by-play man Sean McDonough for the network's "Big Monday" broadcasts.
Raftery, who has been married 40 years, leaves laughs behind wherever he walks on the links. A few summers ago he was at a golf course on Long Island, serving as emcee at a Coaches vs. Cancer charity event. He hit it off with a few policemen and returned a year later as a guest. As a sign of their appreciation for not being "a stuffed-shirt coach" one of the cops gave Raftery a bulletproof vest as a gift. It came with a green carnation. Later in the night Raftery and one of the cops exchanged a few ripostes in a nearby tavern, and the cop suggested Raftery put on the vest.
"Let's see if you can take a charge, Coach," the cop said, meaning that he would fire a shot into the vest.
Raftery laughed and agreed as the cop went to get his gun from his car. As he walked out, Raftery turned to a coaching friend and said, "Hey kid, maybe this isn't such a good idea. If he misses north, he'll hit the pipes, and the pipes have been golden."
One by one, friends around the bar started to laugh, falling in line like dominoes. (And the joke ended there.)
On the last Monday in February, Raftery, wearing a green sweater and pulling a black rolling suitcase, strolls into the XL Center in Hartford, Conn., for West Virginia's shootaround shortly before noon. Tip-off is seven hours away but Raftery, forever looking to land the first jab of the day, instead absorbs the first blow.
"Bob Knight called, he wants his sweater back," says West Virginia guard Joe Mazzulla, deadpanning the delivery and keeping his dribble.
Raftery, who beat Knight's West Point squad when he coached at Seton Hall and once threw a chair of his own on the floor, kibitzes with Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins, walks around with McDonough and Bilas and returns for UConn's session at 2.
"Ya know, Jim," Raftery says to Huskies coach Jim Calhoun, "we used to get free coffee when we came."
Calhoun, holding a Dunkin' Donuts cup that is labeled "Coach Calhoun" by the rim, rolls his eyes, pokes fun at Bilas's unshaven face, asking if it is makeup he forgot to remove, and says, "I forgot the lights, cameras and action guys are here."
Behind Bilas, Raftery and McDonough motion for Calhoun to keep needling.
"I suppose the elder gentleman should be served by the rookie Bilas," Calhoun said.

amazing sleeper – I love this place. I've been twice and am going again this week. The menu is creative and cooked to perfection. Service is outstanding. The wine list is extensive, but a tad pricy.
The strange thing is that it's in a Marriott Hotel lobby. Yes, the Marriott, not the Ritz. The decor is boring and the drop ceilings must go. Just close your eyes and image somewhere else. Your taste buds will be singing. When you leave your mouth and brain are happy, but you're not overly stuffed. The local organic ingredients are the spot light.
This place is better than some of the highest rated places in the Bay Area: Gary Danko, Fifth Floor, Manresa..... I've taken clients from out of town recently, and they were blown away.
Chef Robert Sapirman executes farm-fresh California cuisine at this sophisticated dining room in Santa Clara. – In Short
Like any good restaurant from Bradley Ogden (who's responsible for eight award-winning properties from San Francisco to Las Vegas), this comfortable, clean-lined space in the Santa Clara Marriott boasts an impressive wine list and thoughtful, innovative cuisine. Here the focus is on the exclusive use of local, seasonal produce, seafood and meat in changing menus ("parcel 104" is the name of a cultivated plot of local land). Chef Robert Sapirman plays with top-tier ingredients for California starters and entrees, and notable pastry chef Carlos Sanchez makes saving room for dessert a must.
Fresh Ingredients – Food was pretty good, but disapointing in comparison to Ogden's other restaurants. It seems like he hasn't been here in awhile. I was told there was a new chef, but the menu felt stale. Very expensive, and the restaurant appeared empty even though the bar and hotel were so busy it took 20 minutes to valet. In the middle of nowhere! Food temperature was not hot, but the waiter really tried to make sure we were taken care of. Unfortunately good service can't make up for mediocre food.
amazing meal – Parcel 104 lived up to it's expectations and even surpassed them. The 3 course meal was delicious and entree portions were very generous. The food was simple but flavorful and elegantly plated. The wine we had (half bottle of syrah) was fantastic if a little bit pricey, but worth it. Service was professional and courteous and courses were well paced. The dining room is beautiful and quiet overall. Didn't feel pretentious. Overall, a wonderful dining experience!
Unbelievable desserts – Every bite you sample in this incredible restaurant is well worth the price. The desserts are incredible. Parcel 104 is the only restaurant worth talking about in a city ( Santa Clara ) that's quickly becoming the capital of run-down strip malls. ps: people who read this prior to editing, please forgive my spelling. There are no deserts in Parcel 104. Only unbelievable desserts.
Excellent food, a little nouvelle cuisine – I have to disagree with some of the other reviews here, I thought the food was actually excellent. Not huge portions, but not ridiculously small either. Wasn't cheap, and
the atmosphere is a little formal but not stuffy - overal a good place for a special occasion, and something a little special and different. My guests were very impressed with the food
Sevice Good, But Not Worth All The Hype – Very average restaurant with alot of HYPE..but GREAT service.
You think this restaurant with all its celebrity & hoopla would be better than the rest or better than average.
But I found the food & decor uninspiring.
The restaurant was disapointedly AVERAGE.
Amazing service and good food – Went as a large group with a reservation, the restaurant was very accomodating even when we were a bit larger than expected. The service was impeccable, though the price was a tad bit high. The food was very good, and the wine list seemed decent.
Absolutely worth the money!!! – I've been dined here since it first opens its door.. since they shutted down the Seafood bar, I don't go there that often anymore.
We went there recently & we were still impressed with the consistent of the food & service. The Lamb Chop was incredible nice. The Fois Gras was just right. The Tartar Tuna was fresh & tasty. Last but not least, the sampler dessert is to die for... My mother fell in love with steak!!! It was so juicy & just perfect as medium rare! Yum!
Of course, it's a fine dining, so for a couple the average bill would probably be $150 without alchohol, but it's worth it if you are into WINE & DINE!!! It's rare to find a truly fine dining around Silicon Valley. No wonder they make it to Wine Spectator again this year!!!
Valentine's Day Lunch – My wife and I enjoyed a Valentine's Day lunch. While the food was good...crab/pumpkin bisque, crab club sandwich, it was a bit pricey for lunch. Average value. The ambiance was nice and the table service was average. I would describe it as meandering. I did enjoy the availability of wine flights that allowed you to taste three 2 oz glasses of similar wines. The pour was generous on this occasion. Overall I would give it a 3 1/2 out of 5 star rating.

Since the mid-1920s, Ann Hawkins has summered on an idyllic oasis in northwestern Michigan called Idlewild, once known by some as the Martha's Vineyard of the Midwest, but for well-to-do black folk.
She grew up riding horses there, swimming in the inland, spring-fed lakes and relaxing on beaches surrounded by property that was black-owned. Houses ranged from modest cottages to estates.
"We ate at the Shrimp Hut and watched matinees at the Paradise Lounge," said Hawkins, 86, a longtime Chatham neighborhood resident. "Years later, a skating rink was built and quite popular among the young people. We played tennis. We did it all."
During Idlewild's heyday in the 1940s and '50s, there was a grand hotel that housed the island's many tourists. The clubhouse hosted Sunday lectures by intellectuals such as NAACP founder W.E.B. Du Bois. And restaurants and nightclubs attracted entertainers like Duke Ellington, Count Basie and, in later years, Bill Cosby, The Four Tops and Las Vegas-type revues.
But in the mid-1960s, Idlewild began to decline. It lost most of its tourists as civil rights legislation opened up other vacation spots previously off-limits to blacks. Its population decreased further as older property owners died and their children sold the land. By the 1980s, Idlewild was a ghost town.
This year, Idlewild has been celebrating its centennial and taking stock of what it hopes is the beginning of a resurgence.
"More and more retirees are moving back now," said Coy Davis, who produced the documentary "Whatever Happened to Idlewild?"
"For the last 12 years we've held a three-day music festival that has brought, at most, about 1,200 people," Davis said. "In its prime, Idlewild would attract up to 10,000 people for a special event."
This coming weekend, Hawkins and other lot owners will return to the community for the annual "cabin closing" ceremony, the capstone to a summer filled with events. Hawkins said although Idlewild no longer is the economic powerhouse it once was, it retains its rich history and charm.
"Even before the tourists and the entertainment, Idlewild was just Idlewild," Hawkins said. "It was a beautiful resort where you had hard-working people and role models like judges, doctors and lawyers. Families knew one another and we had friends from all over the country.
"It was the place we could go and be perfectly free and didn't have to be bothered with racism or prejudice."
Davis said that's exactly what the two white civil rights activists envisioned when they and several others formed the Idlewild Resort Co. in 1912.
"They knew that blacks were moving to the big industrial cities from the South (during the Great Migration)," Davis said. "And blacks had this rural background and loved fishing and hunting, and so the men bought the land that makes up the island of Idlewild."
According to the book "Idlewild: The Black Eden of Michigan," the resort company, which included brothers Erastus and Adelbert Branch, purchased the 2,700-acre property. They then partnered with a couple of black real estate agents from Chicago who placed advertisements about Idlewild in black-owned newspapers in cities such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis and St. Louis.
The agents then arranged for blacks from those cities to take "excursions" to Idlewild.
"Once people arrived, they fell in love with the land," said Davis, whose family built their cottage there in 1956. "The slogan was: 'We want the men to be idle and the women to have fun and run wild.'" Hence, the name Idlewild.
After the excursions, the resort company would send salesmen to the cities to sell lots as vacation properties and organize the purchasers into a lot owners associations. Individual lots were 25 feet by 100 feet and sold for $35 each. The purchaser could make a $6 down payment and pay as little as $1 per week. Many residents cobbled lots together.
Davis said one Chicago family bought 80 acres along a lake called Paradise Lake. The family paved the roads in Idlewild, brought in electricity and built a grocery store and the Flamingo nightclub.
He said Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, a heart surgeon, helped settle Idlewild, and his prominence drew other luminaries such as businesswoman Madam C.J. Walker and Du Bois.
It was not uncommon to see the "who's who" of the black community, such as boxer Joe Louis, or Williams strolling down the streets or fishing in one of the lakes.
When Davis recently screened his documentary at the DuSable Museum of African American History, nearly 200 people attended, including Hawkins.
She said her parents met in Idlewild and after they married, they bought property and built their three-bedroom home.
"My mother was a housewife and daddy had an electrical contracting business, and every year when school ended, we'd drive up and stay until school started," she said.
"And I've done the same thing with my children and grandchildren. There have been summers when we've had four generations of us up there. It's our place where we all bonded."
She said during lean economic times the family has struggled to hang onto the property, and she hopes future generations won't let it go.
"We don't have all of (the amenities) in Idlewild that we used to," Hawkins said. "We have (two motels) and a (restaurant) that's holding on by its fingertips. But now we go between each other's houses and we find entertainment and arrange activities that way.
"For people like me, Idlewild will never die."


text: If you like a long shower or have multiple people taking a shower one after the other, 67gallons might give you 1/2-hour of total running time before you end up with a cold one. And, throughout the second half of that, you might be turning the hot up to keep it warm. That's not very much supply, but may be sufficient if you are frugal. You certainly wouldn't want to be running the dishwasher or a washing machine with warm or hot at the same time. It would be hard pressed to fill a soaking tub, but might, depending on the size and how hot you run it.
