RIDGWAY – Before the girls on the Ridgway Secondary School volleyball squad jumped into their 2013 season, they sat down together and came up with a few goals: be a family, respect each other, be enthusiastic. Notably, not one of these goals had to do with winning. And yet, the team is headed to the Denver Coliseum this Friday to compete for the Colorado Class 2A volleyball title.
Seeded eighth out of 12 teams in the 2A bracket, the Lady Demons earned the a spot in the tourney as the Class 2A Wild Card team. They will first face off against 12th-seeded Meeker on Friday morning, Nov. 8, at 8 a.m. and then battle the top-seeded Resurrection Christian, a Front Range private school, on Saturday at 9:30 a.m.
If they win either game, they get to continue competing in the double elimination tournament and perhaps have a shot at the state title. A total of 60 teams from 1A through 5A schools will be competing at the state tournament, but only five of them are from the Western Slope.
Ridgway volleyball team captains Grace Benasutti and Lida McNatt couldn't be more thrilled that the Ridgway Demons will be among them. McNatt is the team's libero; she rules the back row – it's her job to serve, dig and pass. Benasutti is an opposite hitter, a second setter, and "everything else," she laughed.
The two have played volleyball together their entire high school career, but, they agree, this is by far the best season they've had so far. Since the season got underway two and a half short months ago, they have led their team to 20 wins and only four losses, culminating with a thrilling 1st place finish at the district tournament in Mancos on Oct. 26.
But more important than their impressive record, they say, is the esprit de corps that has blossomed among the teammates. They have, in fact, achieved the primary goal they set out for themselves at the beginning of the season: to become a family.
"It's definitely a new feeling," said Benasutti. "It never felt like this before; we have become really close."
Fellow senior Rebekah LaSala agreed. She opted not to play volleyball last year, after having a less than positive experience on the team as an underclassman. This year, it's completely different.
"I've never been on a team so close-knit as this before," she said. "We incorporate everyone; no one is left out, either on or off the court. When someone messes up, we don't bring them down. It's made a big difference."
"We have a passion for each other," McNatt said of the 18-member squad, which includes only the three seniors. There are no superstars, prima donnas or queen bees here. "Everyone plays an equal part on the team," she emphasized. "All of them are super-good. This is just the beginning."
The girls attribute their winning season to this new focus on team-building. But it didn't hurt that legendary Ridgway basketball athlete Tracy Hill, recently inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame, agreed to come on board as head volleyball coach at RSS this year.
"It's been really cool," Benasutti said. "We knew her before, but not on a personal level. She's very much into the mental aspect of the sport. During some practice sessions, we don't even pick up a ball."
Coach Hill "is not a yeller," the girls said. "And she doesn't come across as a strict coach, but she has high expectations."
At a practice session earlier this week, it was also apparent that Hill and assistant coach Amy Rutherford were perfectly happy to let the girls run the show. Practice got underway enthusiastically, with no input from Hill and Rutherford who simply stood on the sidelines, watching the girls scrimmage to the tune of loud, upbeat music blasting through the gym's sound system.
Hill was reluctant to be interviewed, explaining that it's really all about the girls on the court. "I came back to give back," she said. "We have an easy job; they do the hard part."
Rutherford, who has coached the seniors on the squad since their freshman year, agreed. "They have grown as athletes, and as young ladies," she reflected. "I think that has given them success; they have become a family."

text: Holly Spangler Wedding Photos? On the Bin, of Course My Generation When our nephew got married a couple weekends ago, it was a natural fit to grab a few shots on the grain bin. And the tractor. Published on: June 27, 2012 A week or so ago, we were riding high on the after-glow of our nephew's wedding. Matt and Haley Spangler are now a ripe old married couple of 10 days, give or take, and we're all still pretty excited about the whole thing. Four-year-old Caroline, in fact, cannot stop talking about weddings. She has made many a craft project in the past few days that "had to get done for the wedding." So earnest. Because Matt has worked for us on the farm since his early junior high days, and because he appreciates all things farm and agricultural, we decided to run up the road to our grain storage site for the guy photographs. For the record, I am not a wedding photographer, but Matt and Haley decided I would do in a pinch. And with my husband standing in as Official Photography Assistant – which is to say, he was the taskmaster who peppered the day with phrases like, "Ok, that's enough. Next." – things moved right along. Men in BlackSure, they look cool, calm and collected, but standing up there in a black tux on a hot day? They get points for patience. And for smiling through the whole thing.Men of SteelYou can't beat the dramatic lines of grain bin stiffeners, or the contrast of black with galvanized steel. And definitely not your average groomsmen photo!Bearing RingsMatt's youngest brother, Kyle, carried the rings. But we set the fluffy pillow aside and went with a more manly-man pose. I think they're trying not to crack up.Brothers SpanglerMatt's other brother, Ryan, stood up with him as a groomsman. Here, the three brothers line up. Again, I think they're trying not to crack up.Spangler MenAdd in Dad, or Bob, as he's known more casually around here, and you've got all the Spangler men.This GuyMatt's new father-in-law was a crack up. He was pretty darn good at this photo thing but then again, he should be: Haley was his third daughter to marry in six months.4WDCompletely adorable, after the wedding. Don't they look relaxed? And as more than one observer has pointed out, yes, we have RTK. Love it. And no, it had absolutely no use in the wedding.Keepin' it CountryLittle white country church, American flag blowing in the breeze, big John Deere tractor, lots of good friends and a beautiful bride and her groom. Seriously, the only thing missing was an apple pie.Just Married!And they're off! Just like that. Wuv. Twue wuv. Hide Slideshow Captions So here, a few of the more agricultural photos we shot that day, in slide show format. Click "pause" if you'd like to linger for a better look. And since we're talking farms and weddings, I'd love to see your agricultural wedding photos. Maybe you took some photos in the corn field or escaping on a tractor. Or a combine. Or a manure spreader (hey, we've seen it done). Send me your photos and I'll share them here on an upcoming blog. Because who doesn't love a good farm wedding?

Households across Australia that install a small scale renewable energy system or eligible hot water system may be able to receive a benefit under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) to help with the purchase cost.
Installing an eligible system allows the creation of Small-scale Technology Certificates, an electronic form of currency with a value that can be redeemed by selling or assigning them.
Key eligibility
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are created for eligible systems. The number of certificates created is based on the amount of renewable electricity the system produces or the amount of electricity consumption it reduces, and the climate region where it's installed.
Renewable energy systems
Renewable energy systems are referred to as Small Generation Units (SGUs). There are three types of eligible systems:
- solar power (photovoltaic or PV)
- wind power (turbine)
- hydro (water) power.
Hot water systems
Hot water systems which reduce electricity consumption may be eligible for STCs. There are two types of eligible systems:
- solar hot water
- heat pump hot water.
Selling or assigning the Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
Owners have two options for selling their STCs:
- Assigning them to an agent, usually the system installer, in exchange for a discount or delayed cash payment; or
- Selling the certificates themselves, either:
- through the open STCs market - pricing subject to market forces; or
- through the STCs Clearing House - price fixed at $40 per STC, excluding GST.
Next steps
Make sure you understand the full program information at the Australian Government Clean Energy Regulator website.
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are administered by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER). Information about STCs, your options for gaining financial benefit from them and eligible technologies can be found at the following CER website pages:
- Solar Panels
- Small-scale Wind Systems
- Small-scale Hydro Systems
- Small-scale Off-grid Systems
- Solar Hot Water and Heat Pump Systems

Chinese >Brandy Ho's Hunan Food
217 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9413337.797418 -122.405896
Sun-Thu 11:30am-11pm
Fri-Sat 11:30-12am
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Chinatown
If you like spicy, this is for you! – As a lover of Chinese food, I had never tried Hunan cuisine. I was surprised by the unusual mix of ingredients, however; was pleasantly surprised by the taste!
The food was fresh and made to order at the open air kitchen right by our table. The food is spicy, so be prepared. They will ask you how spicy you want it so be very clear if you do not want any spice in your dish.
The menu is fun and reads more like a recipe book than a menu. Service was attentive and price was right.
Nice food, greasy stuff though – My favorite was the huge stir fried chicken. Was served with with berries and celery, in sliced lemon and asparagus. Also the dice spring onion was very cool compliment, and the Shark's fin soup was very completing...
Best Chinese Food in SF – We ordered the Onion Cake w/Peanut Sauce, General Chicken(Hot), and the Spicey Beef w/ Green Onions in Wine Sauce(Hot). Everything arrived hot and delicious, and none of things that were supposed to be crispy were soggy, which I think is probably due to their great packaging and lightning fast service. They told us it would be 45 minutes to an hour for delivery but it ended up taking about 20 minutes which was awesome. I'm not usually a huge fan of Chinese food, having had bad experiences in the past, but all the food was great. Plus, everything was spicy, which I'm a fan of. I'll definitely be ordering from them again in the near future.
stick with the FiDI/Chinatown location – First, I have to let you know two things. One, I use to love the Brandy H's in FiDi. Second, my food was delivered to my home, so I did not get to experience the quaint decor or the house service.
Now, being a fan of the FiDI/Chinatown location I really happy to hear Brandy H's was coming to the Castro; especially since I moved out f the FiDi delivery zone. As I had in the past I ordered my two Chinese food staples. The two dishes I rate all Chinese restaurants by ... Mongolian Beef and Pork Fried Rice. One word ... disappointed. The quality and taste at the new Castro establishment of this city's old staple was just not there. To say the least I was very sad by this experience. I was so upset by the experience, that I doubt I will give them a second chance.
Oh well, at least we stil have The Big Lantern.
It was ok, nothing great, I've had better. – Not sure why everyone raves about this place? 4 of us went together and shared a variety of meals. The service was fast and the food was ok, it just wasn't great. I've definitely had tastier and cheaper Chinese. I had a good nite as I was in good company but I won't be going back in a hurry.
Not Recommended for Delivery. Food has Foul Taste. – The food took longer than promised for delivery, and they sent us items we didn't order. AND they made us pay for the extra dishes. The delivery person was unprofessional to put it politely.
We thought we'd make the best of the situation and enjoy the extra food. More food is usually a good thing. Not so with this restaurant. Despite the consistently high ratings, the food bordered inedible. It was prepared with poor-quality ingredients. It also had a foul taste, especially the soup base. We tried it one more time and had a similar experience.
I'm surprised this place could do so well in our world-class restaurant town.
Good and Hot! – There are many restaurants in Chinatown but this is one of the best. As the name implies this is spicy Hunan food and it's great. Friendly waitress helped me choose my dish. On the outskirts of Chinatown near Broadway.
I'm guessing there are better dishes than what I ordered for lunch – I stopped in for the lunch special, and had been meaning to eat there for a while because I have heard great things about them. I ordered a chicken dish, which was served with bamboo shoots and onions, with the appetizer plate preceding. I loved the crispy noodles with sweet sauce, the noodles with peanutty sause was passable, not remarkable, and there was a fried wonton/pancake item that was nice, but again nothing worth writing much more about. The chicken dish I was very dissapointed in. It seemed to be flavored only with soy sauce and red chilli oil, and basically "missing something" as they say. I don't send food back a lot, but did in this case. Unfortunately, I was told that most of the dishes on the lunch special menu have the same sauce, so opted for a beef soup with noodles. Again, the soup flavor seemed to be missing something, not a full flavor, not rich, just sort of a weak flavored bone broth with chunks of short-rib beef that were tough, dry, and a challenge to chew and swallow. I was very unsatisfied, which is a shame because I have heard great things about the place. I will have to listen to specifically what people recommend to eat there, because what I had I was very disappointed in. The waitress was attentive and satisfactory. The ambience is a place that I would go for lunch, but not for a romantic or professional dinner.
You can order not spicy? – I love spicy food, but my kids can't eat it. The waitress told us it was possible to make it not spicy. So now everyone's happy! Their black bean chili sauce is DELICIOUS! I ended up buying four bottles of the chili sauce (I gave away a few bottles to my friends :( BUT they made some really good chicken with it and invited my family over for dinner!) and I got a fifth one for free.
Another bonus about this restaurant is their location. Whenever I'm shopping Downtown or grocery shopping in Chinatown, I always pick up something from Brandys for my kids.
They also have a full bar, so when my husband is playing designated driver, I can have myself a 1 person party.
Watch your food get cooked in front of you – There's no street parking but I found a parking garage on Vallejo and Powell.
Usually I sit at the counter and watch the chefs cook. Everytime I come here I have a hard time deciding what to order. I love their hot and sour soup and the fact that they serve brown rice (how many other Chinese restaurants does that??) It doesn't take long for the food to arrive, so that's a bonus too. Oh! And I just found out that they have gelato if you want to order dessert.

Fifth in the '7+1' series, here is Omnibuses2.0's quick review of seven-plus-one important UK modern bus livery styles. Feel free to add your own comments on these or other modern bus liveries we might've missed.
1. Arriva
Now nine years old and not showing any hint of age, this pleasing livery incorporates a thoroughly modern, swooping front of Cotswold stone, enhancing the rear Aqua blue/green. It blends modernity with a pleasing conservative traditionality. Seems to weather reasonably, too.
2. Badgerline
If the name was a shock, so initially was its livery. One of a multitude of adventurous post-privatisation applications, Badgerline's striking yellow and green cut crudely across the vehicle, in a modern angular way. Nothing subtle, it nevertheless heralded a new era. Other angular designs included Midland Fox, Northumbria, North Western and Cheltenham & Gloucester. Picture here.
3. NBC 'Stripes'
Actually a coach, not bus livery. Towards the end of its life, the National Bus Company relaxed its one-size-and-two-colour-fits-all policy to come up with a local version of its coaching livery. Designed for local expresses and dual purpose vehicles, it introduced a splash of colour into an otherwise two-dimensional world, and a simple yet trendily effective 'venetian blind' effect from the mid-waistband forward and down towards the front axle, a precursor of the adventurous styles just four years away.
4. Plymouth Citybus
Not quite the first, but Peter Sefton's Plymouth Citybus and Countrybus livery of 1982 was perhaps the most significant in literally redrawing the boundaries of livery design. Not only did this increase the amount of cream, the depth under the lower- or single-deck window was kept the same to maintain a uniform appearance no matter the size or body style. A new departure in livery application. Local independent Tally Ho! was similarly minded in ignoring beading.
What do you do when you inherit 11 undertakings (even before Wigan five years later)? You rewrite the livery rule book by using orange and white. Though linear, it was a brash, bright and powerful statement of change and central planning. In its time, just as striking as the standard Manchester Mancunian bus body. Other interesting use of rare orange – Cardiff Bus.
6. Superbus
A 1970s marketing masterpiece from London Country saw local buses in Stevenage adopt an eye catching and incredibly fresh yellow and dark blue linear Superbus livery. A modern application for equally modern Metro-Scania single decks, with their curiously asymmetric windscreens.
7. Trent Barton
A dolly mixture or riot of individual liveries and styles makes Trent Barton stand out. The first and until the last 12 months practically the only operator to adopt a growth-enhancing route branding exercise, now replicated by Go North East. Who says the industry marketers have no imagination and flair?
7+1 Barbie 4
Pretty much unloved First 'Barbie' livery wins in what we've called the 'Barbie Four' coach and long distance bus version. Featuring more of Barbie's traditional style dark purple-blue, this contemporary amalgam ensures even die hard Barbie-haters can forgive the single sweeping pink line. More here, including picture.

I am sure you will get plenty of comments on this post!
I was at first suprised to see the Plymouth Citybus livery listed but I do see your point.
The NBC coach livery I think is the one which I do feel should be there as this was a simple scheme with many different variations yet all fitted with the corporate image.
I think my biggest disagreement has to be the Arriva livery. Its awful! Surely the Stagecoach livery deserves a place on this list in place of Arriva. both the radical design of the initial stripes livery or the more pleasing newer livery. Certainly both more deserving than Arriva.
- 14 September, 2007 13:05
I love the Trent Barton livery, although the very best livery I know of is (by some margin) Brighton & Hove Buses. Modern, striking and versatile and the Metro branding works WITH their livery instead of replacing it.
Honourable mention also goes to Reading Buses although their new grey/beige scheme isn't as effective as their old brown/beige scheme.

The Stagecoach livery is not perfect,
but its better then the White 'n Stripes livery in the 90's. I think the best livery is the three different colours used on Park and Ride Enviro 400's in Cambridge. Stagecoach seem to have a monopoly with Alexander Dennis as they have not bought any new vehicles from other makes for the last 10 years, and the older buses here are from Cambus (NBC) or Stagecoaches' London fleet
- 14 September, 2007 18:47
Stagecoach's stripey should have a mention as it was very innovative at its time, even before Badgerline, I think. Looking back at old photo's it looks quite plain now, though. How we were shocked when we first saw it, though regretful that the old styles were passing away.
My current favourite is Southern Vectis new livery. Simple, clear, effective and modern.
- 14 September, 2007 19:50
I think the beauty of TRent Barton is that everything is brash and bright. So I would opt for any livery out of the ordinary that is totally eye catching.
Oh and nothing with white on it.
- 14 September, 2007 21:16
White, yellow and blue of CHESTERFIELD
Yellow and blue of the original SOLENT BLUE LINE
Old livery with large WA for WALLACE ARNOLD
Blue and yellow of the Oxford-Gatwick AIRLINE
Blue, red and grey with that outrageous stripe across the front of NORTHUMBRIA

Is it only me that thinks all the "Best Impressions" liveries have started to look "samey"? (ducks to avoid assault by spindly-legged lycra clad middle-ager)
- 15 September, 2007 13:59
- GeneralAdam said...
I know what you mean, they all have a 'scoop' from the back (which is only one colour) to the front (which is a different colour) Stage coach do it slightly differently as the red from the back vanishes halfway along the bus to be replaced by blue, with an orange stripe in between. Stagecoach seem to have removed their own company logo and moved it above the doors and the drivers window, and Citi or Citiplus is put in their place. The buses in Cambridge also have "Stagecoach Bus of Britain" in huge letters where the adverts used to be, does anyone know why?
- 15 September, 2007 17:24
Cogibdnus, you could be right. The best thing Stenning has designed recently is Classic Bus magazine.
- 15 September, 2007 17:29
- ross said...
cogidubnus, i agree. stenning's two-tone liveries [oxford bus, carousel, southern vectis etc] are particularly samey.
- 15 September, 2007 23:23
How come Stenning has done all the big groups and many smaller schemes as well to much acclaim yet the First Group livery is so rubbish?
- 16 September, 2007 08:41
I'm afraid that the Arriva livery is neither one thing or the other, not modern or traditional.
Perhaps it is time for Arriva to relaunch its livery?
I agree with the first commentator that of the big 3 Stagecoach offers the best livery. Its unique, colourful and modern.
- 16 September, 2007 12:20
- cogidubnus said...
Looks like the Stagecoach one is really the favourite among the Big 5 rather than Arriva...
- 16 September, 2007 15:16
Only its actually the Big 3, isn't it.
2 of the 5 don't have a house livery style.

Thanks for a veritable welter of comments on '7+1 UK Bus Liveries'. There's no correct answer, of course, though I'd suggest the seven plus one examples quoted are representative of interesting design.
It's most interesting to see the view that Stagecoach's swirls livery is a better example of a modern application than Arriva's. Arriva's scores because it is more established and because it manages to look modern and traditional at the same time. A comment from one person is worth thought: Arriva should relaunch, in time honoured marketing practice.
Full marks for the mention of Brighton & Hove. Traditional (ish) Brighton & Hove colours in a contemporary application with a pleasing affect.
I'm not quite sure where the old WA livery fits in.
Ray Stenning designs take a little criticism for being "samey". Is this fair? Perhaps there really is only so much you can do with a side of a bus!

I hate to say this but I have never really taken to the Arriva livery, it only seems to look at home on Merseyside anyway where the PTA painted everything that awful Verona Green, Mersey-Mud-Brown and yuk yellow. However my deep dislike of Arriva might literally be a personal thing as I see the aquamarine sometimes in photographs as a light blue and not quite so bad which I believe is how it's supposed to look, but on the buses themselves I percieve it as rather a horrid green one might find on a bottle of loo-cleaner. But as for a cheerful blue I love it and a real favourite of mine is Lancashire United. In dull weather conditions Arriva buses look dreary and washed out and even worse when they have turned black fronts to that sandstone there's nothing to add contrast: No, it's just bland and boring somehow. What a pity they never took that striking livery Grey Green used on it's buses with maybe a red version for London. I'm not saying Arriva buses look terrible but for such an important operator they should come up with something crisp and more memorable. Ray Stenning came up with so many good schemes that often lasted only a few years like Kentish but this one which is a real dog seems to go on for ever. As for First's Barbie I can live with that as it is crisp and businesslike and for me it looks most at home on those former Western National buses, but still that greyness it doesn't inspire somehow. Barbie Two was a real mess and I really loathed it more than anything, and one of my claims to fame was the comment I made in Buses Magazine about how it looked as though the still wet painted buses had been turned upside down and left in the rain so the colours would run down the sides. I'm something of a traditionalist I'm afraid and on country buses I much prefer those warm apple-greens and creams once found on Southdown and echoing it, was also to be found on Badgerline and latterly Southern National. I agree with Graham that the current Stagecoach livery is bold bright and colourful and far better than Arriva or First. Even those earlier striped buses looked clean and businesslike and looked good as a strong brand on those very Staecoach Dash's and R-bodies. But I hate to say this but what warms my heart is when I'm driving over the Runcorn Bridge and see those simple bright clean red and cream buses of Halton just the way they were in the old days. They bring back fond memories of the days when buses looked like buses and not something that just looked good on the drawing-board. As with Halton a few cheery red's and creams reamain like Trent-Barton and Headlingham but it's time for bed now and like those sheep to help me sleep I'll go through the names: Southport, St.Helens, Manchester, North Western, PMT, Yorksh....

I came in to register my horror at Arriva being number 1, and am fully gratified by how many have done the same.
It is frankly bland when clean, and downright dowdy when dirty, which happens more often than stagecoach/worstbus (or again, is that the livery showing it?)
As much as it is supposed to convey corporatism, I am constantly amazed at how many times they can mess with a yellow line and a logos/horns etc - the yellow line was a supreme mistake come actual application to types, and accident repair. Also, in Medway, refurbished buses have repositioned scoops on repaint - why?
As for favourites, and here my hatred of Arriva will come clear, I give you Maidstone and District the last edition, so rudely and crudely destroyed by Arriva.
As for earlier liveries - Boro'line Maidstone, brash, bright and uniform (when applied lol) despite many a different vehicle.
Special mention goes to Metroline - given the constraints of London red rules, I thought the blue skirt and flash logo always marked a Metroline vehicle out in the crowd.
Just so no-one thinks I'm biased, worstbus is frankly too feminine, a bus will never be soft and fluffly; and Stagecoach 2 grates me for a reason I can't quantify (probably the big red rear ends covered in muck), but for corporatism, modernism and impact it works. As said already, I think stripes worked, but dated quickly.
I was always partial to Wilts and Dorset post NBC for a rural firm, and Sheffield Mainline red/yellow/black/silver for a post NBC city firm. WMT took that too far though.
Nowadays though, it must be impossible to pick a scheme which fits a Wright Eclipse, and Enviro and an ALX, but Arriva-like uniformity is definitely not the answer.

I totally disagree a think Arriva's livery is very nice it is clean corporate and interesting personally i think none of the big groups have hit the nail on the head but Arriva is in my view the closest
Stagecoach's is frankly boring and has been around for too long and i think the colours are a bit in your face
First made a big mistake (Pink and Purple is what a would call it with a bit a white it looks like a bad barbie girl box)
and then there is Go-ahead there livery of Blue and Red is also boring (although some of there recent liveries are quite nice)
The there is Travel West Midlands this livery is quite nice although a preferred the Silver, Dark Blue Red stripe livery

I was born in Edinburgh and all the corporation buses were always immaculately turned out in the classic Edinburgh Corporation, later Lothian livery of madder and white with a gold band below the lower deck windows. Unfortunately, that has give way to the present harlequin livery which looks as if it was designed by a young child of 2! I was back in Edinburgh in June and there were no Lothian buses in the old livery. The city looked as if a big part of its identity had been taken away. Auld Reekie will never be quite the same to me again.

The world's weirdest theme parks
Who needs Disney when there are parks devoted to border-crossing
Parque EcoAlberto, El Alberto, Mexico
Theme parks are going to the dark side. Parque EcoAlberto , in central Mexico, offers visitors an experience they may never forget — and one that they are implored not to repeat in real life: a simulated illegal U.S.-Mexico border crossing. For entry fees of around $20, visitors have the pleasure of being blindfolded and surrounded by the sound of dogs and sirens. And instead of park employees dressed as Mickey Mouse and Snow White? They get angry border patrol guards and violent drug smugglers. Fake ones, of course. The "Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage" at Disneyland, it ain't. On a happier note, regular hiking and zip lines across ravines are also available.
Parque EcoAlberto joins a long list of unusual attractions. Here are a few other choice examples. —By Quentin Fottrell

Medion cuts netbook price to offer UK's cheapest rebadged Wind
Medion has cut the price of its Akoya Mini E1210 Small, Cheap Computer, making it the cheapest rebadged MSI Wind in the UK. Just about, at any rate. Medion today said from now on UK grocer Sainsbury's will be charging £279 for the E1210, though we notice that's also what Medion itself has priced the SCC at on its own online …
This topic is closed for new posts.
Most other sources seem to imply that the Medion does not have Bluetooth, that it was traded for the 802.11n compatibility.
You're absolutely correct - I misread the spec sheet. Story updated accordingly.
Personally, I'd still rather have 802.11n than Bluetooth.
question is:
which one is better for installing osx on?

251 S Olive St, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9001234.052116 -118.250581
Sunday To Thursday From 05:00 PM To 10:00 PM Friday From 05:00 PM To 11:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Historic Core, Central LA
Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
Huge Disappointment! – Maybe Monday's are just not good for this restaurant.
I took my wife here for her 40th Birthday - we had the 9 course chef's menu with wine pairing.
The service was excellent throughout.
The food was a great disappointment. The raw scallop dish smelled exceedingly fishy and was slimy - why we didn't send it back, I can't explain (at least we didn't get sick). The filet mignon was very mealy, maybe over-seared or worse, re-heated - we did send that back. The lamb, rabbit and cheese dishes were good, albeit simple. Other dishes were lame to uninteresting and things anyone could do at home (e.g., quarter of a tomato with a splat of wasabi on top and sea salt on the side).
All of the wines were good, but none paired with the dish(i.e., the taste didn't alter at all after sampling the food) - no bottles were brought to the table, just the glass, so we could not confirm what wines we were actually getting.
Based on other reviews, maybe we just chose the worst day possible - we were the only people in the restaurant.
Based on the $$$$ for our meal, for fish, I'd recommend Providence. Spago has the best chefs menu (this is our benchmark), followed closely by Hatfields. Ortolan and Grace are also highly recommended. Unfortunately, Noe is now at the bottom of our list.
Best Brazilian Taste In LA – One of my favorite spots for my brazilian food fixes. I eat here at least once a month and i don't think i will ever get tired of the food here.
Very Average.. slightly disappointing given the decor and location – The food is decent, nothing too special or horrid. Service was pretty great and so were the desserts
Unbelievable Food! – Was at Noe last night with my sister and cousin Diego for dinner. He is a manager at the hotel and had told me about this restaurant for a while so we decided to go. We had the 6 course dinner and it was unbelievable. The pairing of wines were on the spot. The service was great. They brought us 3 different kind of fresh rolls every 5 minutes with truffle butter that was very delicious. The manager Charles Lee introduced himself and asked if we needed anything or had any questions about the menu or wines that he would be happy to help. The waiter gave us a little bit of an introduction to every wine and why it was the perfect pairing with the next course. Also met the chef Glenn Ichii after our excelent dinner. Will be coming back for another great experience shortly.
DineLa reveiw of Noe's Omni Hotel – My husband and I heard about the three course deal in LA which is called
DineLa. There are about 100 Restaurants participating. We chose Noe at
the Omni hotel in Downtown, LA. Service was OK. Food tasted OK but there
was so little food that we left hungry. We had a choice of two items for each
course and we got different items so we can share and sample each others food.
On our main entrees I had Cornish Hen Roulade with Foie Gras. There were only three walnut size chicken breast on my plate. I did not even taste any Foie Gras on my chicken My husband had Bouillabaisse with wild fish and shellfish, his dish only had one shrimp, one mussel, one clam and two pieces of fish each only two inches long.
Needless to say we left hungry having spent over $100. We will not go back to Noe's again.
The Omni's airy dining room gives an elegant downtown crowd modern American cuisine with French and Japanese flair. – The Scene
With a fabulous downtown location adjacent to Disney Hall and MOCA, this airy glass-walled dining room and bar perch over an expansive roof garden and twinkling cityscape. The subtle deco stylings, subdued gold, ochre and cobalt tones, and white tablecloths lend the room classic elegance sometimes impinged on by the noisy adjacent bar. Hotel guests, business diners and well-heeled downtown arts patrons create a refined atmosphere enhanced by extremely attentive service.
The Food
Contemporary American cuisine has strong French leanings with a few soft Asian accents. Rabbit confit strudel is quite rich, but a delicate scallop ceviche, shot through with fresh yuz, is as refreshing and smooth as satin. Dungeness crab-stuffed loup de mer is heavy with somewhat muddled flavors, but a tender Liberty Farm duck breast is offset nicely by savory poached ramps and blueberry sauce. One stunning dessert is the berry cobbler--bursting with fresh summer flavor--alongside silky Chimay ice cream.
Hits: The dining room and bar views offer dynamic city views, and the chef creates compelling themed tasting menus.
Misses: The ambitious menu can be uneven at times, and the decor, while pretty, can lean towards stuffiness.
Great food. Great Decor. Horrible Customer Service. No warm fuzzies. – Great food. Great decor. But the service is horrible. The staff walks around like robots. No expressions of emotions. No smiles. Nothing. My party of 13 went there recently to dine. You would think, people would be happy that you selected their place to spend their money. The manager never came by and said hello or even asked what the occassion or how was the service. The executive chef did not out per my request at the end of our dinner and talked to us. That was cool.
Bottom line is the food is really good but they do need to work on the warm fuzzies for customer service.
Great Spontaneous Tasting Menus! – Chef Gadsby did an amazing job creating an on the spot menu! Wines were paired by the steward with skill and many by the glass options were unique. I've been several times and reservations are recommended during peak dining hours. However, if you can't get in, the full menu is served in the sizable lounge.
Elegant, Delicious, and Friendly – Just went last nite. All-around great fine dining experience without attitude and lame-o industry types. Go during the weekends when downtown LA is quiet, magical, and romantic...!

The Chemist's War
The little-told story of how the U.S. government poisoned alcohol during Prohibition with deadly consequences.
It was Christmas Eve 1926, the streets aglitter with snow and lights, when the man afraid of Santa Claus stumbled into the emergency room at New York City's Bellevue Hospital. He was flushed, gasping with fear: Santa Claus, he kept telling the nurses, was just behind him, wielding a baseball bat.
Before hospital staff realized how sick he was—the alcohol-induced hallucination was just a symptom—the man died. So did another holiday partygoer. And another. As dusk fell on Christmas, the hospital staff tallied up more than 60 people made desperately ill by alcohol and eight dead from it. Within the next two days, yet another 23 people died in the city from celebrating the season.
Doctors were accustomed to alcohol poisoning by then, the routine of life in the Prohibition era. The bootlegged whiskies and so-called gins often made people sick. The liquor produced in hidden stills frequently came tainted with metals and other impurities. But this outbreak was bizarrely different. The deaths, as investigators would shortly realize, came courtesy of the U.S. government.
Frustrated that people continued to consume so much alcohol even after it was banned, federal officials had decided to try a different kind of enforcement. They ordered the poisoning of industrial alcohols manufactured in the United States, products regularly stolen by bootleggers and resold as drinkable spirits. The idea was to scare people into giving up illicit drinking. Instead, by the time Prohibition ended in 1933, the federal poisoning program, by some estimates, had killed at least 10,000 people.
Although mostly forgotten today, the "chemist's war of Prohibition" remains one of the strangest and most deadly decisions in American law-enforcement history. As one of its most outspoken opponents, Charles Norris, the chief medical examiner of New York City during the 1920s, liked to say, it was "our national experiment in extermination." Poisonous alcohol still kills—16 people died just this month after drinking lethal booze in Indonesia, where bootleggers make their own brews to avoid steep taxes—but that's due to unscrupulous businessmen rather than government order.
I learned of the federal poisoning program while researching my new book, The Poisoner's Handbook, which is set in jazz-age New York. My first reaction was that I must have gotten it wrong. "I never heard that the government poisoned people during Prohibition, did you?" I kept saying to friends, family members, colleagues.
I did, however, remember the U.S. government's controversial decision in the 1970s to spray Mexican marijuana fields with Paraquat, an herbicide. Its use was primarily intended to destroy crops, but government officials also insisted that awareness of the toxin would deter marijuana smokers. They echoed the official position of the 1920s—if some citizens ended up poisoned, well, they'd brought it upon themselves. Although Paraquat wasn't really all that toxic, the outcry forced the government to drop the plan. Still, the incident created an unsurprising lack of trust in government motives, which reveals itself in the occasional rumors circulating today that federal agencies, such as the CIA, mix poison into the illegal drug supply.
During Prohibition, however, an official sense of higher purpose kept the poisoning program in place. As the Chicago Tribune editorialized in 1927: "Normally, no American government would engage in such business. … It is only in the curious fanaticism of Prohibition that any means, however barbarous, are considered justified." Others, however, accused lawmakers opposed to the poisoning plan of being in cahoots with criminals and argued that bootleggers and their law-breaking alcoholic customers deserved no sympathy. "Must Uncle Sam guarantee safety first for souses?" asked Nebraska's Omaha Bee.
The saga began with ratification of the 18th Amendment, which banned the manufacture, sale, or transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States. * High-minded crusaders and anti-alcohol organizations had helped push the amendment through in 1919, playing on fears of moral decay in a country just emerging from war. The Volstead Act, spelling out the rules for enforcement, passed shortly later, and Prohibition itself went into effect on Jan. 1, 1920.
But people continued to drink—and in large quantities. Alcoholism rates soared during the 1920s; insurance companies charted the increase at more than 300 more percent. Speakeasies promptly opened for business. By the decade's end, some 30,000 existed in New York City alone. Street gangs grew into bootlegging empires built on smuggling, stealing, and manufacturing illegal alcohol. The country's defiant response to the new laws shocked those who sincerely (and naively) believed that the amendment would usher in a new era of upright behavior.

Underperforming megacaps could offer opportunity in a year-end rally, Stephen Suttmeier of Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research said Monday on CNBC.
"We're looking at the rising 200-day moving average, and the S&P 500 is falling in that area," he said on "Fast Money."
Suttmeier said he was looking at a level of 1,380 for support.
"Normally, when you look at presidential cycles, you're weak from the second half of the first year, which would be 2013 into 2014," he said.
"For now, we think we can get a year-end rally, and there might be a better opportunity to take more profit, more money off the table in the first part of next year," he added.
Suttmeier said that the stock market should be experiencing a two-fold seasonal rally. "Normal seasonality about 2 percent. Election year about 2 percent."
Suttmeier also noted an area that suggests growth, according to his technical analysis.
"Megacaps have underperformed lately, but when you look at what's going on, you're just retesting the breakout points, so this could be an oversold area where you could get back into the megacap stocks," he said.
Trader disclosure: On Nov. 12, 2012, the following stocks and commodities mentioned or intended to be mentioned on CNBC's "Fast Money" were owned by the "Fast Money" traders: Dennis Gartman is long GOLD; Dennis Gartman is short YEN; Dennis Gartman is short Euro; Dennis Gartman is long S&P; Dennis Gartman is long AUD; Tim Seymour is long BAC; Tim Seymour is long SBUX; Karen Finerman is long AAPL; Karen Finerman is long BAC; Karen Finerman is long JPM; Karen Finerman is long WMT; Karen Finerman is long TGT; Karen Finerman is long MSFT; Karen Finerman is long WMT; Karen Finerman is long M; Karen Finerman is long JCP; Karen Finerman is short SPY; Karen Finerman is short IWM; Karen Finerman is short MDY; Steve Grasso is long ACI; Steve Grasso is long AET; Steve Grasso is long ASTM; Steve Grasso is long AUO; Steve Grasso is long BA; Steve Grasso is long BTU; Steve Grasso is long CLF; Steve Grasso is long F; Steve Grasso is long LF; Steve Grasso is long LNG; Steve Grasso is long MHY; Steve Grasso is long P; Steve Grasso is long NVIV; Steve Grasso is long PFE; Steve Grasso is long S; Steve Grasso is long WYNN.

Joey Campanaro's little gem of a restaurant is still one of the preeminent examples of a great New York neighborhood restaurant. The room is supremely cozy and romantic and the food simple but flawless. The burger, served only at lunch, is one of the city's very best.
The service was more than good, but it is a small tight space. The food was above average, but it is not easily reached by subway. But, the neighborhood is fascinating. Tahe a Food Tour of Greenwich Village first/Food of NY. and return for dinner.
We came here because heard that the burger was outstanding and it did not disappoint! The bun was soft, the meat juicy, just the right amount of cheese. I honestly can't stop thinking about it. The staff was EXTREMELY friendly and were serving people who were waiting outside tea and coffee. I will be coming back here very soon.
Not for snooty fancypants. – This is not some enormous, glamorama, fancypants food cavern with a slick-as-sh-- bar scene and sex appeal. It's a cozy spot with delicious food from start to finish and the service ain't too shabby either.
Meatball sliders blah blah blah. I'll say this: my friend WJ barely eats red meat, let alone veal or pork, but even she eats the meatball sliders here because, yes, they are that good. And we almost stabbed each other over the cauliflower because it's worth maiming a friend of over 10 years for a simply prepared but really f-ing good side like that. If you decide not to try the lamb t-bone on at least one occasion, be prepared to get a little jealous and pissy that you missed out when you see it being served to someone at another table.
The wine list is one of those quality-not-quantity situations. You can tell the options are lovingly selected by people who respect how the right wine makes already good food even more velvety delicious, especially when one of the servers or managers comes by and knows what you're drinking (even if he/she didn't actually serve it directly to you) and asks how you like it and compares tasting notes with you in a non-obnoxious, douchey way.
Sure, it's annoying to get a reservation. But once you go there, you understand why. It's just not big enough for all the people who love to eat there. I just wish they would open a franchise in my living room.
Adorable – Such a cute spot to stop for a bite. I first heard about them on Behind the Burner. com
someone tell me why this place is special? – Not that the food was bad. It was pretty decent. But I wasn't sure what is so special about it. Is it because it's so small and it's hard to get a reservation? I mean... scarcity...
hidden gem – great food and perfect atmosphere, small but chic, meatball sliders a must.. fun staff and very helpful
you must go
One of my favorites. – This is one of the best restaurants in NYC hands down. Everything about this restaurant deserves 5 stars. You will not be disappointed if you choose to try Little Owl, its worth the reservation wait list.
A Mystery – Hmmm...been 3 times now and have to admit...I don't see what all of the fuss is about. But then I felt that way about Market Table and Cookshop, too. The food is fine, can be inventive but very inconsistent and the seating situation is truly appalling. I know there are many complaints about this. Okay, you have a small restaurant but c;mon. You know its limitations by now. You don't make people with reservations wait from 45 minutes to and hour and 15 (last time we went.)
Great Food,Great Service – what can i say? Food is very well plated, service is very professional, and the way eveything is set up in the place is just beautiful. I've been here a couple times now and i have not yet been disappointed. Also had a birthday here and it was great. They even had a little candle for me heh heh. Great food, great service, cant wait to go back!
GREAT FOOD – Yes, yes, yes...this is THE place to go.
I have nothing bad to say about the +5 times that I've come here for great food. EVERY time has been great.

Paul Ryan was slammed for staging a photo op at a soup kitchen. See other political photo op disasters.
Earlier this afternoon, we asked readers to send us questions they would ask if they found themselves sitting at tonight's presidential town hall-style debate. From questions about how to save the planet to healthcare hypocrisy, these are among the best.
It seems a meeting with Mitt Romney over cookies and soft drinks at his mountaintop retreat has changed Rev. Billy Graham's views on Mormonism. Shortly after the legendary evangelical preacher's date with the Republican presidential nominee, the "What is a cult?" section was erased from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's website.
Todd Akin's campaign is getting a boost from one of the biggest—literally—families in America. The Duggar clan, known for their TLC show 19 Kids and Counting, will hit the campaign trail in Missouri on Tuesday to help the embattled GOP nominee who recently came under fire for his comments about how a woman's body can stop conception in cases of "legitimate rape.
A company owned by the Koch brothers sent letters to its employees warning them to vote for Mitt Romney or "suffer the consequences." The letter, which was sent to the 45,000 employees of Georgia-Pacific and was signed by Koch Industries President Dave Robertson, warned of "higher gasoline prices, runaway inflation, and other ills.
Now Barack Obama has to be LeBron James.At least, that's what Joe Scarborough said on his MSNBC morning show. The president must act like the NBA superstar in Tuesday night's debate, pouring in points as if it is Game 7 against the Lakers.
In what appears to be a pit stop for Paul Ryan's never-ending quest to find objects to lift and make his sublime biceps even bigger, the Republican vice-presidential candidate did some dishes in an Ohio soup kitchen last week.
In 2004 George W. Bush lost the first presidential debate to John Kerry. He sighed, had bad posture at the podium, and seemed generally disengaged. Sound familiar? President Obama followed in the same footsteps in what we might call the "incumbent trap" of presidential debates where the sitting president doesn't take the debates as seriously as he should and turns in an uninspired performance.
Time for round two. Candy Crowley, the moderator of Tuesday night's debate at Hofstra University on Long Island, said that she won't be "a fly on the wall" during the town hall–style evening. "I'm going to react organically to what's happening," Crowley said on Monday.
Is President Obama too smart for debates?We know his energy was low in Denver. That he looked like he wanted to be anywhere else. That he looked churlish and peeved. And that he missed countless opportunities to raise issues or counter Mitt Romney's assertions.
I don't believe in the undecided voter. Let me be clear on this: I am not saying that I doubt the sincerity of someone who declares today, three weeks before an election that we've all been hearing about for years, that they have no idea for whom they are going to vote.
It's a conundrum for conservatives—Mitt Romney couldn't get traction while he was playing to the base with his vice-presidential selection or his convention speech. But once he broke out the big Etch A Sketch in his first debate against President Obama, Mitt started soaring in the polls.
So here we are. Let's get right to it. Here are Barack Obama's eight tasks tonight:Be a fighter for beliefs. I wrote this already, but it needs to be on this list. Obama must communicate that he wants to spend four more years fighting for the things he believes in and the people he represents.
Is Mitt Romney giving up on Pennsylvania? The Keystone State has long been considered one of the crucial swing states up for grabs this year. In fact, the state's blue-collar Democrats were the ones who Barack Obama famously described as sticking to their guns and bibles.

The Legislative Counsel wants to know why Nevada's 150th birthday plates are being made in Oregon, in violation of state law.
The Department of Motor Vehicles' director replies that although they're being manufactured in Portland, they're being "produced" in Nevada.
Nevada law in NRS482.267 states, "The director shall utilize the facility for the production of license plates which is located at the Department of Corrections to produce all license plates required by the Department of Motor Vehicles."
The dark-blue plates with the "Battle Born" insignia and embossed letters are being made by Irwin Hodson Co. of Portland because DMV officials …

In fact, the friends and business partners may not have known just how much they had gotten themselves into. The duo bought 'The Embroidery Doctor' a full-service embroidery, screen print and uniform business located on Greg Street in the southeast industrial section of Sparks.
"I know the first 45 days were like 'Oh my gosh. What have we done,'" Edmunds said. "We really had zero experience, especially with the computer stuff. That learning curve was tough. But 'the game' is really slowing down as far as our understanding the business. We're getting more comfortable. Mark runs the back, working with our people and machines. I run the front with our salespeople and feel like I'm on the phone all day. I feel much better about the way I talk to people and what I'm telling them. And it's only been two months. We're going to be just fine."
Edmunds had been in the landscaping business for the past 20 years, even owning his own company in Yerington, High Desert Turf. It's been quite the change, moving his focus from plants to clothing.
So why the move?
"My partner Mark Bader and I are both from the sporting world," said Edmunds, who has coached both club and high school basketball and wrestling. "We've always had something to do with clothing from our different clubs and sports. We felt pretty good that this was a good fit for us financially and it was a chance to do something completely different than we'd been doing for the past 30 years of our lives."
When it came to looking for a new challenge, Edmunds and Bader definitely got that. Now they're in the process of tweaking The Embroidery Doctor's focus to better fit what they see as the best way to improve business. Part of that change comes from giving the business model a new direction.
Edmunds believes the best way to maximize productivity, efficiency and profits is for the company to focus on the production end and less on the sales end.
"We really are looking to change the business model," he said. "We want to be the embroiderer and screen-printer for Reno-Sparks and the outlying areas. We don't want to be the sales person. We want the existing salespeople to come to us.
"That's where I see the business going. I think it's a good change. Our numbers are topped out without making a change in our labor force. The numbers won't grow without making changes. Our goal is to triple our gross sales in the next 18 months and to do that we've got to be helping more people."
The Embroidery Doctor has 11 employees. It currently runs two shifts, an eight-hour morning/early afternoon shift and a six-hour late afternoon/evening shift. Edmunds said plans are in the works that could allow for more production and eliminate the second shift.
"We are in the process of making another financial purchase where we'd put more resources into equipment. To do that, we'd cut our second shift and work everybody during the day. Nobody wants to be here at nine o'clock at night, even owners. That should bring us better productivity."
Edmunds admits he's learned a lot in the past two months about the business. He said other local business people in the industry have also helped his learning curve.
But what kind of things has Edmunds added to his knowledge bank?
"I've learned how to run a sewing machine," he quipped. "I'd never delved into the computer world. It is a completely eye-opening experience. I'm learning about file types, stuff I knew nothing about. My partner couldn't even answer an email on Dec. 31. Now, that's practically all he does.
"And the other people around town in this business have been great. I've not had a person turn me down when I've asked a question or asked for help. There's good people in this industry and that's been helpful."
While The Embroidery Doctor is definitely different from High Desert Turf, Edmunds said there are still similarities in business and his past experiences can do nothing but help him in the new venture.
"Any business is all about the people," Edmunds said. "The more you take care of people and give them good service, the more successful you'll be. Business has always been about people, how you treat people; and it always will be."
