Contrast the brutal austerity of Alcatraz with the sheer beauty of Muir Woods and Sausalito on this enthralling day trip from San Francisco. It's a whole day of contrasts: from catching the ferry to Alcatraz Island and driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, to walking through a forest of giant redwoods and relaxing in the picturesque village of Sausalito.
- Likely to Sell Out
- Recorded commentary by audio headphones
- Enjoy a day away from the hustle and bustle of the city
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off included
- All entrance fees included
Likely to Sell-out! Alcatraz regularly sells out weeks in advance. Book ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
This enthralling day trip takes you across the Golden Gate Bridge for a view of San Francisco from Vista Point, then through the coastal mountains to the Bay Area's popular Muir Woods. This national monument is the site of a virgin forest of California Coast redwood trees, among the oldest and tallest on earth. Take the opportunity to roam through an ancient forest of giant redwood trees on your 75-minute visit of Muir Woods.
Next, it's time to take a stroll along the waterfront of quaint Mediterranean-style Sausalito, considered the prettiest village in California. You'll have 30 to 45 minutes to browse, shop and take photos at your leisure in this picturesque artists' colony nestled on the northern shores of San Francisco Bay.
Your tour also includes the ferry ride to Alcatraz Island and an audio walking tour of the "Cell Block". This former federal penitentiary was known as "The Rock" and housed gangsters such as Al Capone (Scarface) and Machine Gun Kelly. You'll learn about the famous escape from Alcatraz, the prison's notorious inmates and much more on this tour.
Alcatraz sold out?
Muir Woods, Giant Redwoods and Sausalito & Escape from the Rock Cruise
When Alcatraz is sold out, book the next best option and upgrade your Muir Woods tour to include the Escape from the Rock Cruise. This 90-minute bay cruise sails under the Golden Gate Bridge and then circles Alcatraz twice allowing you to get up close and see every angle of this mysterious island.
You'll hear chilling accounts of harrowing escape attempts by Alcatraz's notorious criminals as well as their descriptions of the brutality of life on the island. This special San Francisco bay cruise featuring sound effects and intriguing stories about Capone, Billy Cook the Killer, Clyde Johnson's Alcatraz escape attempt and many more, will take you back to the days when this maximum-security prison was the most feared institution in the American penal system.

Kobe Bryant explains 'disgusting little trick' of jersey chewing
By Ben Golliver
Somebody please inform Kobe Bryant that he plays at the Staples Center and not in the middle of the Mojave Desert.
Surely you've noticed Bryant chewing on his jersey during games, as in the video above, which shows him munching on the neckline of his purple and gold uniform as he prepares to launch a late-game jumper over Clippers forward Matt Barnes.
So why does he do this? The Los Angeles Times put that question to Bryant.
He will be remembered, of course, for being one of the game's greats, willing to eat your young, or his own jersey to win.
"It's disgusting, but my father taught me when your mouth gets dry, just suck the sweat out of your own jersey," he says. "There's no bravado to any of it; it's just a disgusting little trick."
Bryant's father, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, spent nearly a decade playing in the NBA before continuing his professional career overseas and coaching everywhere from Japan to Thailand. Maybe the "little trick" of recycling one's own fluids made sense at one of the far-flung locales during that long basketball journey, if potable water wasn't always at the ready. In the NBA, though, a cup of fluids is never more than a few feet or a few minutes away, especially late in games, when stoppages of play slow everything down to a crawl.
I'm not buying that there's "no bravado" in this, given that Bryant is bravado defined, from his chin juts, to his swagger-y jogging after an impossible fallaway jumper, to his scathing post-game one-liners, to his endlessly ambitious shot selection and insatiable appetite for the ball during game-deciding sequences. Michael Jordan had trouble keeping his tongue inside of his mouth and his heir apparent can't seem to keep his jersey out of his mouth. This is a perfect flourish in an already impeccable narrative.
The jersey chew winds up coming off as one part idiosyncrasy, one part comforting habit, one part intimidation tactic and one part "I'm a superstar, whatever random thing I do will get talked about and I know it." Taken together, it's all a perfect setup to an elaborate advertising campaign centered on Bryant's realization that Vitaminwater tastes significantly better than human sweat.

Panera Bread raises nearly $8,500 for breast cancer research at CSHL
Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:22 |
Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.
— The Breast Cancer Research Program at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where innovative breast cancer research is being performed, was among the beneficiaries of this year's annual Pink Ribbon Bagel campaign run by Panera Bread. The campaign raised more than $30,000 to benefit several local breast cancer organizations during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, when Panera Bread bakers hand twisted thousands of cherry vanilla bagels into the iconic "pink ribbon" shape to raise funds for prevention and a cure.
The other beneficiaries of this year's funds were the Adelphi Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program whose goal is to educate, support, empower and advocate for breast cancer patients, professionals and the community; Prevention is the Cure which seeks to increase public awareness of environmental links to breast cancer and promotes a precautionary health model; and Gilda's Club New York City which creates welcoming communities of free support for everyone living with cancer – men, women, teens and children – along with their families and friends.

Shizuo Imaizumi DVD set
Price: $69.95
In this beautifully shot two-volume DVD collection, Imaizumi Shihan offers his personal framework for getting back to the foundations of aikido: the study of ASHI SABAKI, or "footwork."
As Imaizumi Shihan describes this approach: "When I was young, I came across this Zen expression 'Kyakka wo shoukoseyo.' The word 'kyakka' means 'beneath your feet' and 'shoukosuru' signifies 'to pay attention to.' Thus, the expression literally means 'to pay attention to one's feet' and also implies reflection on one's conduct. So, I have practiced Aikido keeping this Zen expression in mind as a lesson. I hope that the viewers of this DVD set will appreciate the meaning of these Chinese characters I have described and derive benefit from their teaching."

"Unique in the world:Le Saint-James is located in the contemporary buildings designed in 1989 by the famous architect Jean Nouvel"Marie Borgel and Anthony Torkington, Maîtres de Maison, present their property:
In the heart of Bouliac, a pretty little village on a hill overlooking Bordeaux and its river, Le Saint-James is located in the contemporary buildings designed in 1989 by the famous architect Jean Nouvel, surrounded by a park full of trees and a fragrant garden of citrus trees and ancient roses. Inspired by the old tobacco drying lofts, four pavilions, linked by an open gallery, create a pure space, with the lights of Bordeaux illuminating the landscape at night. Far away, you can see the Landes of Gascogne forest, the biggest marine pine ensemble in Europe. A few houses away, Le Café de l'Espérance proposes bistro cuisine that in summer is served under the gazebo. The property offers the possibility to attend cooking classes at the Côté Cours cooking school.

New headlights
Hit a pheasant and busted out a headlight so I figured it would be a good time to upgrade. So far I am very happy with them and have had lots of people stop and ask me about them. These are made by Spyder and so far the only thing I dont like is that the high beams aren't quite as good as the old ones were but I am going to put some new bulbs in as well as get the foglights wired up so they stay on which will help a lot.
I am also looking for opinions on what to do with my grille. The chrome is peeling in one spot (rather pathetic for a 3 year old pickup....) and I am sure its going to worsen. Right now I am looking at a black grille out of a WT but am worried that would be way to much black and would look like a hole. I am trying to find some way to get around using chrome, stainless steel is fine but the quality of chrome makes me want to eliminate it from my pickup.

I like the mono look so that would be a white grille to match the truck. Chrome plastic just does not hold up very well replaced a lot as a svc mgr

Part 8: Exhaust Upgrades
Our '05 Nissan Frontier Nismo has been a favored member of our project fleet for almost three years now. With a potent 4.0L V-6, a sweet electronic rear locking differential, and seemingly perfect proportions, we haven't found a trail that we didn't feel confident attempting. From daily run-around duties to tackling the deserts of Southern California, the Nismo Frontier is well suited to our lifestyle. However, we noticed recently that JBA came out with a set of headers to complement their after-cat exhaust system. We salivated at the idea of increased power and torque in the already snappy package. The rumble of a deeper exhaust note wouldn't hurt either, so we set up a date with the folks at JBA and counted down the days. Once it was go-time, we headed down to JBA's Dyno shop facility in San Diego. After generating some initial baseline numbers, we parked the truck on a lift and the guys at JBA went to town. The install took a majority of the day, but the results were worth every minute.

& State University baseball team finds themselves ranked 17th
in the country in the ABCA Division II Preseason top 25 released by

This article describes how to create monitoring check using Cloud Monitoring through the Cloud Control Panel. Each of the monitoring checks you can create with the Cloud Control Panel are based on predefined check templates.
Enter the URL of the website you want to monitor.
Each check is configured by default to originate from the 3 regions: DFW, ORD, and LON. Once your monitoring check has been created, you can edit the Parameters under the Check Details to include additional regions, including: IAD (Northern Virginia), HKG (Hong Kong), and SYD (Sydney)
Note: The terms monitoring zone and regions can be used interchangeably here, as they both represent the geographical locations where Rackspace has a data center and where the Rackspace Cloud Monitoring API is hosted.
The check status is calculated by determining if there is an agreement from a quorum of the monitoring zones (two out of three monitoring zones running the check). This helps avoid reporting false negatives. A check has to fail in two of the three monitoring zones/regions before the check state is deemed CRITICAL.
The combined results of the check from all three monitoring zones determines the check's state. The check state can be one of the following:
Green = OK
Yellow = WARNING
Red = CRITICAL, the check failed in at least two of three monitoring zones. The Technical Contact (the primary contact on the Rackspace account) will receive an email describing the situation.
The following screen-shot shows a check with an OK state and one in CRITICAL state:

Buckingham County High School doesn't have a girl's soccer team, but that hasn't kept Rachel Meek off the field. Meek has played on the
boy's soccer team all four years of high school.
"When she first started, I was a little skeptical," says her soccer coach and father Chuck Meek.
Rachel says Knights opponents are also a little skeptical when they initially see her on the field. "You see, oh, here's this little short girl, she doesn't look like she could do much, and then I come out and I'm one of the most aggressive people on the team."
Meek didn't just hold her own on the team, she earned second team all-district honors as a junior. Only one other girl in the James River
District has accomplished that.
"She's just one of the guys, and they respect her, they know what her potential is and they push her," says Chuck. "I've told them, you have to play her like a guy because she's going to play you like a guy."
Rachel says soccer is her first love, but she also plays golf and volleyball at Buckingham. In the fall, she spent the weekends practicing golf, and the weekdays playing in matches, and practicing and playing volleyball. Additionally, she participates in the schools JROTC program.
"It's so structured, and it teaches you determination and you
know, respect," she says. "It teaches you a lot of stuff that you can use in life. I want to be a smart, diverse person. I don't want to be just in with the athletes, I want to be friends with everybody."
Even wither busy schedule, Meek has remained in the top twenty percent of her class academically. As her golf coach, soccer coach, and father, Chuck gets a first-hand look at how she balances it all.
"She might have games where she comes in at 10, 11 o'clock. And she goes straight up, you know it's kind of like, 'hey dad, I've got homework,' so she goes straight up and takes care of that. Academics come first, sports come second."

Updated Dec 22, 2012 - 11:34 am
Will Sutton: 'I don't know yet' about my future at ASU
The Pac-12's Defense Player of the Year led the conference with 20 tackles for loss, ranked third with 10.5 sacks and led the Sun Devils to the top of the Pac-12 in pass defense and pass efficiency defense.
With a year of eligibility still remaining, a return to Tempe could be very beneficial for both the reigning Morris Trophy recipient (given to the conference's top lineman) and ASU in 2013. However after a stellar junior campaign, the lure of the NFL is certainly pulling at Sutton, meaning the Sun Devils' game against Navy in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on December 29 could very likely be his last in maroon and gold.
"I don't know yet," Sutton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Friday on his upcoming decision. "I've got until the 15th of January, so we will know before then."
While Sutton won't commit one way or the other at this point in terms of coming back to ASU or entering the draft, the highly-touted defensive lineman said he would certainly go through the process of contacting the league's advisory committee to gage what his pro prospects are.
In addition to the committee's advice, Sutton said he's also listening to others in his close-knit circle.
"It's a lot," said Sutton on the number of people he's listening to about his future. "Probably about 10 people."
While ESPN analyst Mel Kiper is not a member of Sutton's circle of trust, based on his evaluation, the junior has an easy decision to make: stay in school.
listen Listen: Will Sutton - ASU All-American DT
Sun Devil All-American Will Sutton talked about the Sun Devils preparing for Navy in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and also spoke about the possibility of leaving early for the NFL Draft.
Sutton did not make Kiper's 2013 NFL Draft Big Board and was only ranked as the No. 4 defensive tackle among juniors.
History is on Sutton's side, however. Five of the last seven ASU players to be taken in the first round have come on the defensive side of the football.

Love that Augustana song!! But you forgot one song. "Never Been to Boston in the Fall" from Veggie Tales. :)
A little theme music to close out the week. The message should be pretty clear.
Have a good weekend, folks.

10.5.2 Kalaway, everything is working good except LAN; random older LAN card seems to be working under load.
Tryed to install the Wi-Fi card the Mobo came with and the screen boots to black. Maybe that is because i am trying to stick it in there after the fact, although i thought i told it to load the drivers at the customize install screen.
Anyway ... everything but LAN works great with this Motherboard. Audio worked OOB.
Here is what i have stuck in there... The Hackintosh part is not using everything obviously.
Abit In9-32x Max
Nvidia 8800 GTS 640MB
4 GB RAM (is this supposed to be giving me problems?)
Some old LAN card, i may need to update later.
1 x 500GB Seagate SATA (Hackintosh)
2 x 500GB Seagate SATA (Windows RAID)
Creative Audigy Platinum (For Windows)
USB SONY DVD-RW Drive
Hope this helps anyone considering this motherboard for a Hackintosh Box.
