Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Portsmouth boys routs Kennett
Saturday, February 16, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — Short rest suited Colin MacDonald and the rest of the Portsmouth High School boys basketball team just fine.
The 6-foot-4 Colin MacDonald drew the start against the smaller Eagles (4-11), but has largely come off the bench in his first varsity season. Against Windham he played most of the game but managed no points and just three rebounds.
For Kennett, it was a big bump in a road that has gotten smoother of late. The Eagles, with just one senior on their roster, lost their first nine games but had won for of five coming in. They were led by a pair of sophomore guards, Brandon DiLucchio (11 points) and Nick Graziano (15 points).
"It was good to get a win," said Mulvey. "We didn't play well (Wednesday). We spent a lot of time Thursday working on our defense." |

+ LWR celebrates the holidays
Do I hear little hooves and jingling bells coming from Lakewood Ranch? Yes. The Polo Bar and Grill, at 10670 Boardwalk Loop, on LWR's Main Street is getting ready for the holidays with a trio of culinary events that will please everyone from grandma to grand-princess: From 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 22, its offering a "Breakfast with Santa" at prices so reasonable (adults: $15, children 12 and under: $10, children under 4: free), Santa, himself, may show up. From noon to 5 p.m. Christmas Day there's an extraordinary buffet ($35). And the restaurant even planned a "Rockin' New Year's Eve Party" that includes a four-course dinner, glass of champagne, live entertainment, dancing and all the NYE fixings from noisemakers to hats for the special countdown for just $70 per person.
Suggestion: One of our favorite ways to spend New Year's Eve when we were still living in New York City was to go to a movie and then either have a quiet dinner at home or go to a local restaurant for a late supper. Remember, Lakewood Ranch has that great multi-plex movie house, Lakewood Ranch Cinemas, and it's just walking distance from The Polo Grill and a bevy of other fine and diverse restaurants.
+ In Venice, Kumo Japanese Steakhouse opens
Down to the south in Venice, a brand-new eatery has just opened its doors: The Kumo Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Restaurant at 1657 U.S. Highway 41 Bypass. You've probably encountered this group of restaurants in other locations. They're owned by Sam Chen and Lily Ren, but this new Venice site is enormous. It seats 250 people in an ample 6,000 square feet that includes a full-service bar, hibachi chefs, table-side cooking, noodle bowls, tempura creations, bento-boxes and my favorite, sparkling fresh sushi and sashimi. Oh, there's a branch up in Lakewood Ranch, too, in case that one's more convenient.
+ Libby's continues its tradition of excellence
Between Venice and Lakewood Ranch is Libby's Cafe + Bar, the excellent all-around restaurant that's great for everything from lunch and brunch, to romantic evenings and parties. And Libby's Café + Bar has a great winter menu that's combining its innovative small plates (Kobe meatloaf sliders, incredible "sandwich filled eggrolls" and "double dragon seafood flash fry") with what it calls "large plates," but are really humongous portions of everything from prime pork chateaubriand with bacon and cheddar grits, to the new blackened jumbo shrimp with blue crab-red bean gumbo. Libby's, at 1917 S. Osprey Ave., is in the always-hopping Southside Village, right across from Morton's Market, whose parking lot is available to Libby's diners.
Speaking of parking lots, we're waiting, expectantly, for the new restaurant to open on the ground floor of the downtown parking garage on Palm Avenue. Owned by the same people as Libby's, we know of several major parties already booked for the space, but every time we walk past, all we see is scaffolding, windows covered with paper and a large empty space with nothing but electric stuff hanging from unfinished ceilings.
+ Another new place to eat
Sean Murphy, of the illustrious and luscious Beach Bistro on Anna Maria and the variously located Eat Here restaurants, has concluded his work out at The Concession Bistro which he says, " … is in great shape and I'm leaving it in capable hands." Murphy is off to his newest project, another Eat Here, this one on Siesta Key, just inside The Village.
+ The Bijou Cafe receives prestigious distinction
In case you hadn't heard, The Bijou Café, one of Sarasota's classic downtown restaurants, has been given a Fodor's Choice 2012 Distinction Award. This designates Bijou as "a leader in its field for service, quality and value in 2012." That means the iconic restaurant will receive special recognition in the upcoming Fodor's guidebook to the Sarasota area and will also have a special listing and place of distinction at fodors.com.

I've been on an adventure
43 comments:
I'm in Geneva! Come and visit! What a totally blissful thought to dream of sharing a cup of tea, and a chat. Or is it too late already and you are gone? The city is beautiful, despite all the local quilt shops having pretty much shut...
Juliet (an Anglo-Swiss)First of all, congrats on such a wonderful way to celebrate 15 years, but you crack me up - how do your kids feel about being lumped in with the stash in the category of things to protect? ;-) Good idea, though - I could be someone you need to protect that stash from!! I've got enough kids, though.......... ;-)
ReplyDeleteParis, Paris Paris!!! My favourite place on earth! I went there last in 2011 and I can't forget it. I am so upset too that I missed a really cool patchwork shop by about a block! Just a few blocks from my hotel, walked down the street and just did not go down that smaller street by one block!Sigh! Will I ever get back there? Probably not. But I will always have my two visits there. Glad you enjoyed it !
ReplyDeleteParis quilt shops that I know about: Most well known - Le Rouvray, 6 Ru des Grandes Degres, off the Quai de la Tournelle. On the left Bank, 5th Arr. The road is almost exactly opposite the bridge, the Pont de l"Archeche that connects the Ille de la Citie to the left bank where the Museum for the Deportation of the Jews are,(very sad place , went to see it;breakes one 's heart)and it is also very close to where Boulevard Saint Germaine run into the Quai de la Tournelle. Considering the fact that I stayed in an hotel on the corner of Boulevard Saint Germaine and Saint Michel you can understand my frustration when I realized although I walked down the Quai quite a few times and Saint Gemaine, I just never saw it. Sigh, sigh, sigh.
There is also one in the 11th Arr., La Boutique du Patchwork, 37 Rue Saint Ambroise.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.

Rush Pikes Peak at Rush Fest
Rush Pikes Peak was well represented at this year's Rush Fest held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 2 U12 Boys teams, 4 girls from our U12 Swoosh Girls team and our U14 Nike Boys and Girls participated in the event. The U12 Boys Swoosh Team and their coach Nick Massa benefited greatly in getting to bond and learn each others tendencies as players. It also afforded Coach Massa an intense 4-day period to assess the boys and begin planning positions, tactics and to plan future training. Swoosh improved with each match and now stands poised to succeed this season. Swoosh was joined by players from Tennessee Rush. It was a special opportunity for boys from across the country to come together on one team. Coach Massa extends his thanks to Tennessee Rush and praised all the performance of all the boys over the four days of matches and training.
The U12 Boys Nike team had a successful four days as well. Several new players joined Nike, so it was again a chance for the players to gel as a team. The Nike boys, coming off a successful 2010-2011 campaign, sharpened their passing and combination play. By the fourth match, a dominating 3-1 win, the boys were often hearing Coach Nik Penn's shouts of "good soccer!". Both coaches commended the boys for their effort, improvement, and tremendous attitude. The help of chaperones was also appreciated in making the trip a resounding success!
The 4 girls from the U12 Swoosh team that joined Hawaii Rush (Caili Chastain, Raegen Petch, Lauren Faue and Madison Wojtkowiak) had a great time. Though it was difficult to get to know their new teammates in such a short period of time, the girls all had fun and learned a lot. They were treated to a special experience on the last game day when Rush Soccer President and CEO Tim Schulz arrived just before halftime and coached the girls through the rest of the game!
The U14 Fest started off with a bang as the U14 Nike Girls marched into the opening ceremony singing "When the Rush Go Marching In". The girls began the week with a tie against Texas Nike, followed up with a last second win the next day through a goal from Darby Cross. After a tough loss to the Rush Select team, the girls finished the week with a resounding 6-0 win versus Alaska Nike. The girls and coach Brian Lux were all sporting royal blue dyed hair on the last game day to show their Rush spirit! The U14 Nike boys also had a very successful week, and were the only boys team that truly got into the spirit of the event by singing Rush Songs and cheering their girls and club on. The boys and their coach Dan Highstead finished the week with a hard fought tie versus Virginia Nike. For their combined efforts, the U14 Nike Girls and Boys earned Rush Pikes Peak the coveted "Rush Club of The Week" for this year's Fest. They shared the award with the contingent from Virginia Nike. This is the first time in Pikes Peak history that we have won this award. Well done Nike Boys and Girls! Thank you to all the parents, family members and chaperones that made this a successful trip. See below for pictures of Rush Pikes Peak at the Rush Fest 2011!

Lou Roe wrote:Bartenders and servers get screwed all the time when a group or table splits the check with some people using a card and some paying cash. This is due to the incompetence of most groups when trying to figure out how much to tip. For example the bill is $100, a group pays $80 in cash and the one person who never carries cash puts the remaining balance on their card. That person then tips on the card on $20 rather than the entire $100 bill.
Sim wrote:I've probably been in that situation 1000 times and never once did the person using the "card" fuck that up. You have to be an absolute moron. Moreover, everyone should make sure it gets handled properly.
On the flip side, I've been fucked a couple times on servers who add the tip into the bill, don't disclose it, and we realize after the fact that we double tipped (or tipped even more b/c we tipped on tip.) It's 100% the table's fault, but it's a shit move by the server not disclosing it when they drop the bill off. Not like they've ever tried to give me my money back.

A renal scan is a nuclear medicine exam in which a small amount of radioactive material (radioisotope) is used to measure the function of the kidneys.
Renogram; Kidney scan
The specific type of scan may vary. This article provides a general overview.
A renal scan is similar to a renal perfusion scintiscan . It may be done along with that test.
You will be asked to lie on the scanner table. The health care provider will place a tight band or blood pressure cuff on your upper arm. This creates pressure and helps your arm veins become bigger. The inner elbow is scrubbed with numbing medicine (antiseptic) and a small amount of radioisotope is injected into a vein. The specific radioisotope used may vary, depending on what is being studied.
The cuff or band is on the upper arm is removed, and the radioactive material moves through your blood. The kidneys are scanned a short time later. Several images are taken, each lasting 1 or 2 seconds. The total scan time takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
A computer reviews the images and provides detailed information about how your kidney works. For example, it can tell your doctor how much blood the kidney filters over time.
You should be able to go home after the scan. You may be asked to drink plenty of fluids and urinate frequently to help remove the radioactive material from the body.
Tell your health care provider if you take any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or blood pressure medications. These drugs might affect the test.
You may be asked to drink additional fluids before the scan.
Some people feel discomfort when the needle is placed into the vein. However, you will not feel the radioactive material. The scanning table may be hard and cold. You will need to lie still during the scan.
A renal scan tells your doctor how your kidneys work. It also shows their size, position, and shape. It is may be done if:
Abnormal results are a sign of reduced kidney function. This may be due to:
There is a slight amount of radiation from the radioisotope. Most of this radiation exposure occurs to the kidneys and bladder. Almost all radiation is gone from the body in 24 hours. Caution is advised if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Extremely rarely, a person will have an allergic reaction to the radioisotope, which may include severe anaphylaxis .

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor.

The Books
I thought I'd post some general info on my books. I've been writing for many years, full-time for the past decade (yes, I am a rare magical beast, a full-time poet). But I'm a bit of a newbie at fantasy. I like the peculiar torment of writing long novels; I'll be doing more of them.
At the moment I am working on the Pellinor series. There will be four of these, and I am currently supposed to be finishing No. 3, The Crow.
The Gift, Part One, came out in Australia in 2002 with Penguin Books and in the UK (Walker Books) last year. It will appear as a hardback in the US next May, with Candlewick, but we had to change the title to The Naming as Ursula Le Guin recently brought out Gifts. The Gift was shortlisted for two Aurealis Awards. And here are some reviews-
In The Gift, Alison Croggon has crafted an elaborate and beguiling world of legend. Densely and vividly patterned, the book leads us across the varied and menacing landscapes of the seven kingdoms of Annar. The terrain is peopled by Bards and slaves, by the monstrous Kulag and the treacherous Hulls, by packs of wers whose howls are "the very sound of un-life ... neither dead nor alive, but caught in a tormenting void between".
This is prose that shows not only how well Croggon writes, but how effectively she holds her nerve. In such fantastical imaginings as hers, the risk is always of the risible.
In fact, Croggon passes her work off as history, replete with bold and detailed appendices on pronunciation, on history - especially the tragic millennium of the Great Silence - on the composition of the seven kingdoms and on the Speech - 'defining attribute of a Bard and the central mystery of the Knowing'. ...
While The Gift is resolutely Croggon's own invention, it is full of echoes and glimpses of other fantasies of lost, past and future worlds. Thus we have the Dark (side) and the (chosen) One, magical powers and medieval settings.
This is a quest narrative, one of the most durable and enchanting kinds of story, as old as Odysseus and Arthur. Croggon tells it fluently and confidently. She mixes the unavoidably sombre and formal - "you bear black news" - with the bracingly colloquial. The novel is the latest, unpredictable move in a career that has seen Croggon as a poet, controversial theatre reviewer and librettist."
- The Sydney Morning Herald, 2002
"... a magical story that is reminiscent of Tolkien. This is a tale with passionate, inspiring characters, an enchanting protagonist and vividly described landscapes. The Gift is a powerful story and marks the beginning of a series of a great series of fantasy novels that will delight fans of Garth Nix and G P Taylor."
- The Bookseller, February 2004, UK
The Riddle came out in Oz late last year, and is due out in the UK in May and in the US the following year. Blurbs are, well, blurbs, but here's the Penguin one for it:
Maerad is a girl with a tragic and bitter past, but her powers grow stronger by the day. Now she and her mentor Cadvan, pursued by both the Light and the Dark, are seeking the Riddle of the Treesong. This mysterious Riddle holds the key to restoring peace to her ravaged kingdom and defeating the enemies she is fated to battle.* But what is the true nature of those enemies, and of the Riddle?* Or is Maerad herself the greatest riddle of all?
From terrifying seas to vast stretches of glacial wilderness, The Riddle moves through a legendary world steeped in the rich and complex cultures of Edil-Amarandh. Maerads journey, which began in the highly acclaimed novel The Gift, continues towards a mysterious end.* For surely now she will meet the Winterking, the author of her sorrows - and ally of the Nameless One, who is the greatest tyrant of them all . . .
The Crow is well on its way, and hopefully will be in shops later this year. I'm almost really excited by it (I'll be properly excited when I finish, I hope). The final book will be called The Singing. I think. I'm not quite up to imagining it yet.
There's more info, including a couple of sample chapters and appendices, at my website.
In the UK and the US, the Pellinor books are published as YA fantasy, in Australia as adult fantasy. I guess that means they're "crossover". Either that, or people can't decide what they are.
January 30th, 2005, 05:56 PM #2
Update: The Crow is finished to first draft! Yess!!!
I'll let you know when there is a publication date, no word yet from Penguin. I'm hoping it will be released in Australia later this year.

Maybe this is in the wrong string, but here goes.
I have written three books starting August first...tentatively I am calling it the Earth Stone Trilogy.
When I write I have a basic idea, a beginning, middle and fundamental end. However, I don't know what I am going to write until I do. I never seem to hit any stumbling blocks though. Book One and two came out to 165,000 words each and book three (I feel like you did getting near the end and DYING to finish) is 185,000. It just all seems to come to me while I am writing and not before.
Tell me, do you plot it out first before you write or do you let it flow?
By the way, I LOVE writing and I HATE editing........got any pointers for overcoming my hatred of the editing process? I find it to be horrible drudgery.
February 2nd, 2005, 08:24 PM #4
Hi Chris
Congratulations on three books! I'm impressed!
I do a bit of both plotting and flowing. The first book was just writing: I had no idea what was going to happen next, and let the world grow with the narrative. But for the following books, I had to take into account what was already written, and so I plotted so I wouldn't get lost. I've just reread my synopsis for The Crow, and it's fair to say that although the basic outline remains basically the same, practically everything else changes in the writing.
As for how to edit: I confess, it took me years to learn. I started off as a wholly intuitive writer. So there's no easy path, I don't think: it's just a skill, like everything else. I find a real pleasure in finding the flaws and making the writing work better. These days, it's the part that makes me rub my hands, I really like it.

Hi Alison,
I started the Riddle last night. I know I said I had it earlier but the magazine editor gave me two books to review in three weeks and expressed a desire to have me review the other one first... well that took three weeks... I'm no speed reader, then another mag gave my kids a Playstation game to review so I had to help them do that....
... back to The Riddle, and the Note on the Text, when I skimmed thru it earlier, I thought it was just a fictional translation of something fictional but when I read it, it seems like you are creating a story from a real translation of real historical documents.
So can you tell me more about these historical documents and the Annaren?
February 25th, 2005, 06:55 PM #6
Hi Rocket
I'm jealous you get to review games. How did you get onto that?
I have a feeling that the Note on the Text is the best bit of fiction I've ever written. I wanted it to be just like those slightly fussy, slightly pompous notes you get at the beginning of translated books, where they quibble about decisions they've made and thank just about everyone in existence (my private joke is thanking my husband for reading the proofs - it's always wives reading the proofs in those introductions. And though he's actually been a great help, and I pick his dramatist brains constantly, I read the proofs). Actually, all the thanks are real, but many of them are private jokes. The French academic Alphonse Calorge whom I thank in The Gift is a pseudonym of a French friend, a translator, who always wanted to use that name, and who did help me. Professor Insole - who designed the Treesong Runes - is actually the designer at Walker Books. Doing these bits has been the most enormous fun.
But I've had so many queries from people doing searches to find out about the Annaren texts that I had to put a note up on my website explaining that really, I made it all up. If you take a quick gander at the footnotes in the appendices, you'll see most of the putative authors have my initials (AJC) - where they don't, they are actual books.
It's backfired once or twice, where reviewers have assumed that I have no originality at all! So I'm glad you asked! It's sometimes made me feel a little guilty, especially when people have been elated to find out that something like that existed. It didn't occur to me that people might think it was real, but I did want to create that slight vertigo feeling, where you're not quite sure - Borges did that to me when I was young, and I've never forgotten how it felt. (And don't worry, even my agent asked the same question, and she's no fool.)

I read the blurb that said it was completely fictional... but then after the note I questioned whether it meant fictional but based on something or the blurb meant that it was not to be taken as accurate in anyway. So it was a pretty convincing Note. I haven't read much further. I've got a bit of work on at the Art Centre at the moment and a throat infection so've been reading in a haze before sleep.
The payment for reviewing games is advanced copies of the games and only occasionally a good one is struck... but even the dud games cost you $90 when they first come out. So it's okay. I just always seem to be sitting around with my hand up when mag editors are handing stuff out. I don't want to spend so much time reviewing but I can't say no to free stuff... I am a Kiwi after all.

Dont worry i was caught out at first also with the notes at the back og the Gift until i read it all. my friend actually went looking for the books and stuff. it was kinda funny. she was a little disappointed when i pointed out that they weren't real.

Anyway read ahead if u dare but i dont think it will do you any good bcoz it'll only make u wanna read it more . . . . . .
The Riddle is the continue of the Gift. Maerad and Cadvan dont get together (not off the top of my memory). Cadvan might die? Maerad will fall in love. (but a twisted sort of love) More polotics become involved. Maerad meets a relative or two. one relative will die whilst helping her.
off the top of my head that's all i can think of like i said if you really wanna know ask Alison she'll give a better description.
~ Tari
P.S. Alison can u hint to us if something will happen between Maerad and Cadvan in the Crow plz? i think something will happen but it won't (if that makes sense) like either they will or they wont it won't be an in between sort of decision.
Mod note: Tari we have these great new tags called spoiler tags. You just put [ spoiler ] and [ / spoiler ] either side of delicate information and then whoever wants to read that delicate information can drag their mouse across it and read it highlighted.Last edited by Rocket Sheep; March 2nd, 2005 at 05:43 PM.
March 2nd, 2005, 08:10 AM #11thanks Tari...yes you spelt it right , i don't know if it's possible but i'm heading towards it , thanks for the summary..your right it has made me want to read it more..but it's out in two months here so i'll have to wait and be patient not one of my strong points
March 2nd, 2005, 05:49 PM #12Oh and spontaneous human combustion is possible. It is a chemical fact. Lynne Kelly who is a skeptic who wrote a book on the paranormal showed me a picture of a man who combusted and burned right down to his shoes. He and the floor around him were the only things burned in the picture.

Chagas disease is an illness spread by insects. It is common in South and Central America.
American trypanosomiasis
Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite related to the African trypanosome that causes sleeping sickness. It is spread by the bite of reduvid bugs and is one of the major health problems in South America. Due to immigration, the disease also affects people in the United States.
Risk factors for Chagas disease include:
Chagas disease has two phases: acute and chronic . The acute phase may have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Symptoms include:
After the acute phase, the disease goes into remission. No other symptoms may appear for many years. When symptoms finally develop, they may include:
Physical examination can confirm the symptoms. Signs may include:
Tests include:
The acute phase and reactivated Chagas disease should be treated. Infants born with the infection should also be treated.
Treating the chronic phase is recommended for children and most adults. Adult patients should talk to their doctor about whether to treat chronic Chagas disease.
Two drugs are used to treat this infection: benznidazole and nifurtimox.
Both drugs often have side effects. The side effects may be worse in older people.
Side effects may include:
About 30% of infected people who are not treated will develop chronic or symptomatic Chagas disease. It may take more than 20 years from the time of the original infection to develop heart or digestive problems.
Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia) may cause sudden death. Once heart failure develops, death usually occurs within several years.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you think you may have Chagas disease.
Insect control with insecticides and houses that are less likely to have high insect populations will help control the spread of the disease.
Blood banks in Central and South America screen donors for exposure to the parasite. The blood is discarded if the donor tests positive. Most blood banks in the United States began screening for Chagas disease in 2007.

I have been a church pastor for just under three years. I used to worry a lot about how to act. My old persona was that of a cantankerous businessman and I was concerned that I might leave the house one-day, forgetting who I am, and be short with someone or chew them out for some perceived incompetence. A wide range of behavior that served me well in business for many years might be inappropriate for a minister of the gospel.
I want to begin with an invitation:
You are cordially invited to attend a free rally in support of public education. The rally will take place on Saturday, February 28 at 11:00am in Orlando in the UCF arena. Come and be a part of history while sending a strong message to our elected officials: Save Our Schools, Support Our Students, and Make Education a Priority.
When I planted the fall crops here I decided to dedicate one 100 foot row to growing and staking tomatoes for fall harvest in Cedar Key. I have had tremendous success with spring tomatoes but knew that a fall crop was quite risky. I have never really staked tomatoes in a production row and felt that this entire exercise would be helpful as a research project for me.
Background: On January 23rd there was an open meeting held at the library to discuss energy conservation and solar energy applications. Because of the high level of interest shown by the Cedar Key citizens at that meeting, Mayor Heath Davis asked Luz Kraujaliz, Connie Nelson and Tom Deverin to form an Energy Advisory Panel. Over the past month or so, Cedar Key residents and community leaders have stared a dialog about what we can do in Cedar Key to enhance efforts to preserve our island community and become better stewards of our environment.
Most of our garden catalogues do not list plant spacing with the pictured variety but do include a separate chart at the back of the publication. The "plant cultural" chart often is on the seed packet listing water, sun, spacing and other requirements for that variety. These are fairly precise requirements and should be a guideline for planting.
I have been going to church all of my life. As kids, my mother hauled my brothers and me to church every single Sunday. I sang in the choir. I was a member of the youth group. I was an acolyte. I was going to church four or five days a week. Since I have grown up and become a church pastor, it has only gotten worse.
I believe God gave me most of this song to write.
Maybe you'll identify with it…
Verse 1
As I walk down the street I see people pass me by.
Faces like zombies they seem to ask me, "Why?
O, why is my life, man, not better than it is?
Pain squeezes my eyes, crawls out from deep inside."
"I need some hope more than you know,
But I just won't let my feelings show.
'Cause too many times my heart has been stepped on.
I hear there is quite a buzz going on in town, not only downtown but on the mainland as well. Some say the buzz is flying around like wild fire, while others say it hides in beautiful places. I say this buzz is all about bees! What a stinging answer to this fictitious paragraph.
Lower Suwannee & Cedar Keys NWR
I recently had the privilege of reading a short letter written by a fellow Christian to a person in jail. The letter was so utterly sincere in its expression of love that it almost brought me to tears. If that was my reaction to a letter not even written to me, I can only imagine what impact it had on the one to whom it was written.
Many of us have traveled around the USA. Perhaps, some from Oregon to California, others from Maine to Florida, or even to Ohio or Texas. What we all see before us as we travel is climate change over long distances north to south. Our great country has a number of climates such as temperate, subtropical, tropical and even a temperate rain forest on the West Coast. For one country to have such a variation is truly wonderful
According to many experts, the economic meltdown our country is now experiencing is due, in large part, to a virtual collapse in our housing industry. From all accounts, the billions of dollars being expended by the U. S. Government to bail out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and others is the result of the failure of bad loans. The question may reasonably be asked, are unscrupulous lenders to blame, or are irresponsible borrowers at fault? And just what is a 'predatory loan'?
I cannot, after much silence, think of when I lived without bugs and insects in my life. They are all over the planet! There must be one million bugs for every human on earth, perhaps more! They live under ground, in the trees and in the water as well. When there are no vegetables in your garden they attack. Something else, then, when you plant your garden they concentrate, attack and destroy.
There are many wonderful opportunities that I have being a church pastor. One of these is that I occasionally get to hear many fine and creative excuses as to why whoever it is that I happen to be speaking to does not attend church. Mostly these are quite unsolicited. Folks find out that I am a pastor and just launch into one completely of their own. I have been a pastor for less than three years and I already have a formidable collection. Look for them under the title Church Absences, a Glossary of Lame Excuses coming to a bookstore near you.
The three major elements for plant growth are food, water, and sunlight. Of these water is the most dominant – with the exception perhaps of the fungi of mushrooms, which grow in dark caves and possibly your closet. Notice, of these three major elements, soil is not mentioned!
Dear Editor:
Congratulations to your appointment as Editor of the Cedar Key Beacon. We had been coming to Cedar Key for 50 years and many times spend more time there than we do at our home in St. Pete. We have subscribed to your excellent paper for many years.
To choose or not to choose, that is the question! There are a number of factors to consider between seeds and transplants. The main consideration is how well a plant will survive the transplant process. In other words: transplant-ability. Some plants could care less, such as broccoli, cabbage, peppers, tomatoes and cauliflower. Other vegetables such as carrot, English and Southern peas, beans, melons and turnips have a hard time surviving transplant.
Some decades back, I arrived in the Cedar Keys not really sure where I was going. A new company was in my mind and I needed a place without hustle and bustle to relax, think and plan. Heading north up the west coast of Florida on Route Nineteen, I turned left on any hard surfaced road looking for the Gulf of Mexico. Known even then by the nickname "Trouble", I crossed Number Four Bridge after an arduous drive from nowhere onto the Cedar Keys, miles out in the Gulf.
Thanksgiving is over and now it is off to Christmas. Before you know it, it will be New Year's Day. Where did all the time go?
Funny how your mind works, but twenty years ago I never envisioned living in the year 2009. Actually, I never envisioned being over sixty-years-old… but here I am and I'm still not retired.
Several years ago I looked forward to the day I could retire. Hah, that didn't happen. I must have been having pipe dreams, thinking I could retire at age sixty-two.
It was Thanksgiving Day '45. The war was toning down. Germany had ceased combat operations in Europe. Japan had surrendered unconditionally in the Pacific. Those Americans who had left as boys not that long back were returning as men. In most eyes, they were all heroes.
Holidays for some months and years had been meager affairs. The men were off at war. All told, the United States had sent over ten million to war. They were trickling back.

Its basically just gibberish and yes it is normal for the games this animation is based off of. The Sim characters speak like that along with the little on screen prompts to convey how they feel without the use of actual voice acting. Some people find it charming, some find it annoying, some have no opinion one way or the other.

As recessionary woes ease, businesses are turning to unique and cutting-edge store design to draw attention. Footwear News highlights seven recent retail debuts that use cultural inspirations, vivid colors and eco-friendly materials to revamp or create an entirely new buying experience.
United Nude
New York
The Vision: When United Nude made its U.S. debut last month, the retailer aimed to create a shop with a classic cinema-like feel by playing up the contrast between light and dark.
The Goods: United Nude's full line of women's shoes are available, as well as a selection of Stealth hats made specifically for the Bond Street location. Next March, the retailer will add a line of men's shoes to the 1,800-sq.-ft. space.
The Design: With co-founder and Creative Director Rem D. Koolhaas behind the design, the space features a wall of light that contrasts with the dark feel of the shop, leaving only the product illuminated. The shoes sit in cubes on a shelving formation, which feature a computer-controlled lighting system in bright colors such as green, pink and blue. In the middle of the sales floor is a steel sculpture of a Lamborghini, giving the space a very modern and flashy feel.
The Vision: The Geox team set out to communicate the brand's eco-friendly philosophy when the store opened in February in the Breathing Building. It also aimed to illustrate its two main product concepts: breathability and Italian fashion.
The Goods: Geox offers its full line of footwear and apparel for women, men and children.
The Design: Paolo Cermasi of Paolo Cermasi & Associates headed up the design team and focused on timely trends. At older locations, Geox worked with dark walls and black shelves, but for this project, it switched to a nature-driven vibe. To achieve this, the three-story, 9,000-sq.-ft. space presents product in a simple and sophisticated way, using mostly natural woods and fabrics in almost all white for a bright décor. On the outside of the building is a panel system that creates air ventilation designed to conserve electricity.
Christian Louboutin
West Hollywood, Calif.
The Vision: The designer wanted to play up the Hollywood lifestyle, finding inspiration in classic films and artists.
The Goods: The space, open since September, houses all the Christian Louboutin signature footwear styles, as well as handbags and clutches.
The Design: At the entrance of the 1,800-sq.-ft. Robertson Boulevard shop is an iron gate embedded with the brand logo, similar to that of Paramount Studios. Created by New York-based design firm 212box, the shop features white ceramic tiles on one side in the first room, with encrypted numbers and symbols representing a "signature Louboutin language." The middle room houses a tin-panel cash wrap that doubles as a bar. Hand-blown glass bubbles lead customers to the second floor, where the retail rooms and VIP lounge are located.

So I've been bored lately and one of my friends suggested I watch the HBO show Girls. So I thought what the heck and starting watching and I really like it! It's a bit risqué but hey, what isn't these days?
The show stars writer and actress Lena Dunham, who I'm a big fan of, and it shows her and her friends living life in New York City. Lena plays a character named Hannah who is extremely self-obsessed which becomes a huge funny point for the show. Her other friends, Shoshanna, Marnie, and Jessa also have their quirks.
Despite the title, the show isn't very "girly" at all and I even saw online that the show has a larger male audience than female audience so don't let the title fool you! If you decide to watch, make sure no kids are around!

Designed by North Carolina-based architect Frank Harmon, the Taylor House in the Bahamas drew glowing reviews from the judges. "The house is completely appropriate for its site and context. It goes toward a person and a place--it's not all about type and style," said one judge.

A large inverted roof is angled to provide shade for the home's many decks and porches during summer and admit sunlight in winter.
The roof is also an essential component of the house's rain-collection system.

Frank Harmon
Architect Frank Harmon worked with client Jim Taylor to devise a collection of sliding doors, flaps, and shutters that enable the owners to seal off the house from storm winds and rain.
Each level contains private places to read, write, or just look at the ocean.
frank harmon architect, raleigh, n.c.
From the very beginning, Raleigh, N.C., architect Frank Harmon, FAIA, knew that designing a house in the Bahamas would be a test of his design and organizational skills. "It's definitely a challenge to design something you can't visit when you want to," he says. "It's just so good to be able to be on the site all the time." But his clients were interesting, articulate people with a passion for innovative design, so he took a deep breath and jumped in.
The resulting house drew glowing reviews from the judges, who selected it as project of the year. "The house is completely appropriate for its site and context. It goes toward a person and a place—it's not all about type and style," said one judge. "Architects can learn from that." The judges also appreciated the way the project addresses important issues such as green building, weatherproofing, and indoor-outdoor living. "It covers everything," commented one.
Harmon designed the three-story residence from the top down. Fresh water is scarce in this part of the world, so local building regulations required that he incorporate a rain-collection system. He came up with the idea of an inverted roof that would function like an upside-down umbrella, directing rain through a central spout that runs down the center of the house and into two 8,000-gallon cisterns on the ground floor. The roof's upside-down pyramid form also helps cool the home naturally: Its shape forces the air beneath it to flow more quickly than that above it.
The architect describes the roof as a "wood-and-steel hat on a masonry cube." To ensure that the hat doesn't fly off in high winds, local contractor Ivar Unhjem pinned it to the second and ground floors with steel beams and reinforced concrete columns. The masonry cube consists of stucco-finished concrete blocks strengthened with steel bars, a typical Bahamian construction method. The reinforced concrete extends down through the foundation, which Unhjem built into a dead coral reef.
Because the home's third floor pops up above dense foliage to give it 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Abaco Sea, Harmon located the main living spaces on that level. The second floor houses the master and guest bedrooms, and the ground floor contains a workshop and the rain cisterns.
Designing so far from the site presented a number of practical problems, but Harmon and his team fired back with equally practical solutions. Intern Vinny Petrarca traveled to Scotland Cay twice to supervise and participate in construction, each time staying for several weeks. To avoid the 50 percent tax the Bahamas imposes on imported materials, the 10-person building crew obtained as much as it could--stucco, wood, and concrete block, for example--from local sources.
Harmon had a chance to see his hurricane-thwarting measures tested in September 1999, when Hurricane Floyd ripped through the Bahamas. The house stayed intact; the hat didn't budge.

Get your Vegas on at four of the hottest new places on The Strip.
Staying true to its authentic SoCal roots, Javier's spices up the Las Vegas Strip inside ARIA Resort and Casino.
Paying homage to a rich heritage of authentic Mexican cuisine, Javier Sosa serves up traditional dishes using family recipes passed down for generations.
While lunchtime favorites such as carnitas ($22), enchiladas poblanas ($20) and carne asada ($45) remain true to their humble Orange County roots, the 9,000-square-foot restaurant offers a dramatic flair. The space, designed by Dodd Mitchell, has a Moorish feel, with amber lighting, white stucco walls and a dominating carved bar adorned with beads.
As if this weren't enough to impress guests, Javier's is also home to the world's largest piece of chain saw art. Weighing 3,000 pounds, spanning 25 feet and carved by J. Chester Armstrong, the mammoth piece depicts the legend of Mayan creation and Mexican history. Using hundreds of carved Día de los Muertos skeletons, the artwork tells a five-part story from the Tree of Death to the redemption in the Tree of Life.
Javier's mixes Moorish opulence with Mexican tradition, and the dinner menu is a perfect blend of the two elements. A true seafood-lover's paradise, the menu includes seafood enchiladas ($27), Cabo Azul (a Maine lobster in pasilla sauce, $30) and Fideo del Mar (linguine pasta with Dungeness crab, Mexican white shrimp and wild scallops, $30). To top off the experience, a hand-shaken Javier's margarita ($12) is a must.

United States of America
Impossible to travel to the USA, without identifying familiar images, such as the yellow cabs, Manhattan Island, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas casinos or Miami's beaches. After all, these settings are the privileged images that depart Hollywood to conquer the world. They have inspired emblematic songs for many generations: Do you recall the Beach Boy song 'Surf'in USA'?
Holder of an extraordinary cultural diversity, the USA has an immense territory filled with magnificent natural and cityscapes. From the north frontier with Canada to the south frontier with Mexico, this large country stretches over an area beyond nine million km2, bathed on side by the Atlantic and on the other by Pacific.Hollywood has taught the world what the "American Dream" is all about and the voices of Madonna and Michael Jackson where part of its soundtrack Starting at the White House in Washington, through the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, the Colorado Mountains or the thematic parks in Florida, discovering all 50 states that comprise this country is a true adventure.If you don't know where to start, here is a suggestion: Rent a car and drive "coast to coast", the famous trip, or adventure yourself along the mythical "route 66". If your preference goes for urban escapes, don't miss New York, Las Vegas, New Orleans or San Francisco.If you have children, head to Disney World in Orlando. For a sand & surf trip holiday try out Hawaii.
