Ragged Point California is a coast landmark ocean view tourist spot situated 15 miles north of Hearst Castle San Simeon (25 miles north of Cambria or 80 miles south of Carmel) on Pacific Coast Highway 1. The location of the spectacular Ragged Point Inn Ocean View Resort, an small but "all inclusive" cliff top tourist resort and vacation destination on the rugged Pacific Coast Highway 1 about a 1 1/2 miles north of Ragged Point (a nautical hazard jutting out in the ocean included on many area maps and pictured on the current Ragged Point Inn logo).
Enjoy the breathtaking views at Ragged Point Calif, 15 miles north of Hearst Castle, San Simeon California!
Ragged Point is open for business as usual and nowhere near any of the fires. Don't postpone your vacation because of the Soberanes Fire...or the Chimney Fire...Now is the perfect time to visit the Central California Coast and stay at the Ragged Point Inn Motel; summer is upon us and the traffic on Pacific Coast Highway 1 can get bumper to bumper, and it may be heating up and dry inland but it is cool lush and green on the coast at Ragged Point; so why not stopover; there is no water shortage at Ragged Point. It is also a great time time to visit Hearst Castle if it is your first visit consider the "Grand Rooms Tour" or one of my summer favorites is the extensive and interesting tour featuring the history of the designing and construction of the palatial estate
Designing the Dream
and after your tour you should take the short trip up the beautiful Scenic Pacific Coast Highway to Ragged Point Resort and have a European style espresso drink with a delicious freshly made gourmet desert at the indoor coffee bar; or a delicious meal at one of Ragged Point Resorts eating establishments which all now
feature natural free-range pastured Hearst Ranch Beef, plus the freshest possible local seafood catch from Morro Bays Tognazzini Fish Market and fresh from the their own onsite gardens, organic herbs and fresh vegetables.
The Ragged Point Inn and Resort is truly a wonderful almost magical place but if you are interested in comparing it to other resorts, motels, or hotels near Hearst Castle San Simeon

The Magic of
On the Scenic Pacific Coast Highway 1, between Big Sur and San Simeon, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, lies a rocky maritime navigation hazard named Ragged Point that is part of the huge San Simeon Hearst Ranch property which also includes San Simeon's world famous Hearst Castle. Just north of Ragged Point is the Ragged Point Inn and Resort; the property was first purchased from Hearst by a carnival owner named Monte Young and then, in 1961, by Wiley and Mildred Ramey. At that small snack shop sporting a neon sign beaconing Pacific Coast Highway 1 travelers with the word "EAT" in extra large letters and breathtaking ocean views of the California rugged Big Sur Coast.
On the property in 1961 was only a carnival junk dump, the small snack shop, a couple of rusty gas pumps and travel trailers; the Ragged Point Inn motel, the restaurant, the gift shop, owners residence, the pig pins, the employee trailer park, vegetable & herb gardens and everything else that is now the Ragged Point Inn was only a pipe dream.
The development of this special place 15 miles north of San Simeon Hearst Castle on the Pacific Coast Highway 1 has been a labor of love through four generations of the Ramey family who have attempted attract every passing tourist and to create an alluring environment that draws them in off the highway and provides the same magic for their guests as they have enjoyed over the last five decades

- Blue and Orange Morality: Discussed by Picard and Troi. The Sheliak have radically different thought processes from humans, and Troi points out that the fact they can communicate with them at all is fairly remarkable.
- Bothering by the Book: The Sheliak constantly stand on the exact wording of their very long peace treaty with the Federation...
- Loophole Abuse: ...until Picard reads through it himself, then exploits a loophole that would delay their plans by six months. He then hangs up on them and strolls about the bridge for a minute when they call back.Riker: You enjoyed that.Picard: You're damn right.
- Loophole Abuse: ...until Picard reads through it himself, then exploits a loophole that would delay their plans by six months. He then hangs up on them and strolls about the bridge for a minute when they call back.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Data finally overcomes the colonists' pride by demonstrating that one android with a hand phaser can seriously wreck their equipment, then stating that the Sheliak are packing much bigger weapons and will blow them away from orbit without a second thought.
- Data: That was the stun setting. This is not.
- Planet of Hats: The Sheliak are of the Obstructive Bureaucrat variety. They don't put any value on words that haven't already been signed and sealed in a treaty.
- Planetville: One of the series' bigger aversions, in earlier episodes entire planetary populations fit in a single cargo hold but this relatively tiny colony is a logistical nightmare to evacuate.
- Scotty Time: Averted. Picard demands that Geordi and Wesley figure out a way to get the transporters to work through the radiation in the four days they have. At the end of the episode, after numerous attempts to compensate end in failure, Geordi admits it would require fifteen years and a complete redesign of the transporter system.
- Translation: Yes: Apparently the massive treaty is this to the Sheliak, used to compensate for Federation languages being ludicrously imprecise from their perspective.
- Tuckerization: Data's shuttlecraft is called the Onizuka, named for Ellison Onizuka, who died in the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion in 1986.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Part of Data's troubles on the planet come from the leader, Gosheven, having no respect for him because he's an android. Gosheven even hits Data with some kind of stun-rod, having no idea nor any apparent interest in whether he survives.
Recap / Star Trek The Next Generation S 3 E 2 The Ensigns Of Command
The Enterprise receives a message from the Sheliak, insisting they remove all humans from a planet that the Sheliak have the legal right to colonize. The Federation has no record of a colony there - there's radiation that would normally be lethal to humans - but it turns out that, about a century ago, a colony ship went off course and ended up there. The colonists, after losing a third of their number, adapted to the radiation, settled in, and by now have grown to a population of 15,000 or so.The evacuation will take weeks by shuttlecraft (the radiation also messes up the transporters), but the Sheliak are arriving in four days; Picard negotiates with the Sheliak, who keep insisting on not giving them any extra time. Meanwhile, the colonists don't want to evacuate at all (screw the treaties, many of their ancestors died building that colony!), and Data must convince them otherwise.

Mother Nature wasnt kind to Moncks Corner Park and Recreations annual Opening Day parade and ceremonies.
Rain forced the cancellation of Opening Day on Saturday, March 29 and some quick scrambling to get team pictures scheduled and taken, but the sunny skies of the past week helped start the spring seasons.
We are off and running this week with full schedules and games being played Monday through Thursday, said Park and Recreation Athletic Director Matt Still.
A make-up opening day was set for Saturday.
A total of 44 baseball and softball teams play from March 31 through the local All-Stars competition in early June.
We had more than 560 kids sign up this spring, Still said. We even have added a nine and 10-year-old Angels softball league.
With the towns new recreation complex not quite ready for games, Friday night and even some Saturday games are planned until the extra four fields are ready.
With nine ball fields we can easily accommodate the kids and teams we have, Still said.

Teen involved in deadly trail altercation sent to center
Posted: 7:00 PM EST Mar 06, 2012 Updated: 6:13 PM EST Mar 07, 2012
A teenager who was part of an attempted robbery on a trail in Cumru Township has been placed in a treatment center, authorities said.
They say the 16-year-old Governor Mifflin student was found delinquent on two counts of conspiracy to commit robbery.
The student was one of three teens who tried to rob a man on the Thun Trail in late January, police said.
The man shot two of the teenagers, killing one and wounding the other, police said.
Prosecutors didn't charge the man because they said he was defending himself.

Jail time for woman who lied about being sexually assaulted by officer
DENVER — She said a police officer sexually assaulted her. Now, after a thorough investigation that cleared the officer's name, she is the one doing time.
Twenty-four-year-old Bianca Carreras was sentenced Thursday to 10 days in county jail for false reporting to authorities. She originally claimed in November 2012 that Sgt. Lex Jorge had sexually assaulted her when he took her to a detox center.
Eventually, a Denver Police Department Internal Affairs Bureau investigation cleared the officer of any wrongdoing. Jorge read a statement at Thursday's sentencing, talking about losing his badge during the investigation and having to face his wife and children.
While responding to a disturbance call, Sgt. Jorge suspected that Carreras had too much to drink and drove her to a Denver detox unit. Carreras reported the officer sexually assaulted her during that time.
As part of her sentence, Carreras must also submit to a mental-health evaluation.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

"There are a lot of hurting people in Great Bend," Central Kansas Dream Center Director Kimberly Becker said.
Each week we'll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We'll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what "the rest of the story" turned out to be.
It's too bad the Kansas Legislature had to go into overtime to handle an issue that's been at the forefront of debate long before the session began, but it appears both the Kansas House and Senate are finally beginning to see compromise is not a dirty word.
In observance of the Memorial Day holiday, the Hoisington City Council met Tuesday evening to continue a discussion on how to alleviate a housing crunch that is keeping some of the professionals who work in the city from living there too.
The City of Ellinwood sponsored a Chamber Coffee Friday morning in honor of the retirement of EMS Director Debbie Glen. Ellinwood Mayor Irlan Fullbright gave a run-down of Glen's accomplishments and the awards the city's Fire and EMS service had won over her 33-year career.
Following her swearing in as Mayor of Pawnee Rock once more, Linda McCowan presented appointments for city council approval Monday night, May 4 at the regular city council meeting at the Pawnee Rock city office.
Rural high school class reunions offer a unique experience that can't be duplicated by larger districts. With graduating classes numbering in the double digits, an intimacy that draws the whole community in, and a "the more the merrier" attitude prevails. The class year takes back seat to the school and the town the graduate came from.
After days of rain and storms, the future was so bright for Great Bend High School seniors, many had to wear shades.
Crunch Out Obesity, the six-week program Ellinwood students in grades 4-6 participated in during April and May, came to an end Tuesday. Sponsors visited classes and awarded prizes to winners at both Ellinwood Grade School and St. Joseph School.
This week, we offer a clip show of sorts from previous Out of the Morgue columns. Great Bend has forever been a place where interesting people have passed through, and many have decided to stay a while. It has been something to commemorate and celebrate.
The City of Hoisington has gone to great lengths over the past year to recruit and support a fine group of Emergency Medical Technicians. Several members of that community have made the commitment to go through extensive training, and to be on call for several hours a month in order to safeguard the community and those that pass through it. As their numbers increase, so does the reliability of the service, and that is to be congratulated.
ELLINWOOD - Nothing says school's out like field day. Ellinwood Grade School students participated in several events at the Ellinwood City Park Wednesday morning.
Ross Vogel of Rural Housing Partners and Jason Hogan, contractor for RHP, one of the builder's to propose the construction of new homes in Hoisington, met with the Hoisington City Council Monday night. He came to ask the city to agree to pave Vine Street, where RHP proposes to build on seven lots on both sides of the cul-de-sac.

Skip to comments.Longtime bachelorette Sen. Collins engaged (to a lobbyist)
Posted on 02/03/2012 12:58:23 PM PST by Zakeet
Wedding bells will soon be ringing for Sen. Susan Collins.
The Maine Republican is engaged to Thomas Daffron, 73, the chief operating officer for the D.C.-based Jefferson Consulting Group.
According to the consulting groups website, Daffron served as chief of staff to former Sens. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) and William Cohen (R-Maine). He was also a speechwriter for the late Sen. Charles Percy (R-Ill.), a campaign manager for former GOP presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole, and a consultant during all three of Collins Senate campaigns.
Collins, 59, has never been married.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonscene.thehill.com ...
a consultant during all three of Collins Senate campaigns.
he grew on her like moss on a rock
I hope they will be very happy. I wish everyone could experience the joy of marriage in their lives.
Speechwriter...I hope he's a speech therapist, too.
Reminds me of a joke ... only remember the punch line.
Okay, cut 'er loose.
Soon she will be changing diapers, his diapers.
To a man? I'm shocked.
Wonder if he knows Bob Dole's phone number?
Well, in lobbyist terms, that's called "Taking a Big One for the Team."
We have a winner, ladeez and gennamun!
When I saw the headline, my first thought was what is her name.
I always thought the two Maine RINO senators swung the other way.
Maybe this just furthers the notion that sexual orientation is a choice. She might be changing her mind.
The term in normal English is "spinster," not some TV cutesy newspeak.
William Flax
The happy couple will wed at the grooms alma mater, "The Helen Keller School".
Somewhewe hunting wabbits. She's turning in her flannel for lace?
"The Maine Republican is engaged to Thomas Daffron, 73"
He must have cataracts...thats the only way. -or-
Maybe he was dating Helen Thomas and this is an upgrade?
Spinster? How about shrew?
Well at least she can't reproduce.
How old are you people? 12?
What on earth do looks have to do with anything?
Grow up !
"How old are you people? 12?
What on earth do looks have to do with anything?
Grow up !"
Apparently with him....nothing...nor does he mind someone who talks like they have a mouthful of Maine Blueberries
Also...I have no intentions of ever growing up...growing old yes...growing up...no.
Nuff said!!!
Senator Collins seems like a very decent person. Maine and the rest of the United States are lucky she is in the senate, because the alternative is a liberal democRAT. Here is wishing the best for Senator Collins and her new husband.
"How old are you people? 12?"
...no. I just have an incredible distaste for beat old bag Rino's, so I don't care if she's a SI model. If this Mainiac had a lick of common sense and/or patriotism I wouldn't feel the urge to act like a 12 year old.
Maybe he was dating Helen Thomas and this is an upgrade?
She'll probably have Madonna sing Like a Virgin at the wedding
Surely thou jest! There is nothing conservative about Collins.
What's Daffron look like?
Congratulations and Happy Valentine's Day to the happy couple.
You're a moron.
The two Maine Democrat congressmen have ACU ratings of 14% and 0% Collins is around 51% lifetime average but 64% for 2010.
We give the Maine twins a lot of crap on this site for being RINOs (some of it well-deserved), but the bottom line is that they both voted for Alito and Roberts for The Court. If anyone out there can name a Democrat from Maine that would do the same, please let us know.
I sometimes get the impression that the majority on this site would prefer to be in the permanent minority. Kind of like my team came in last, but they did with style.
Sorry to disappoint - but you're wrong.
There's enough to be upset with both of them, but no need to cast aspersions with no cause.
Congratulations Ms Collins ... I hope many years of happiness.
Sticks and stones and all that Newzjunk.
51% and 64% spells big time RINO. How bout a sample of RINO Collins conservative record:
Voted to confirm both Sotomayer and Kagen.
Voted against Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act
Voted for Obamas American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Voted for Obamas 1.1 trillion stimulus in 2009.
Voted for CHIP
Voted for repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.
Voted for Cash for Clunkers.
Co-sponsored Gay and Lesbian Non-discirmiation in the Workplace act.
Co-sponsosred same-sex Domestic Partners Health Care Benefits Act.
Have a nice day.
She's 59 and she's getting married for the first time?
I guess there's hope for me yet! (I'm 35).

Private, public research under one roof at UW
Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery will be unique
Madison — When it opens in December, the $205 million Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery will be a showcase of high-tech design and model of collaboration.
The public/private research center under construction in the heart of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus features a circular auditorium for as many as 300 people, with walls that can be lifted into the ceiling, modular research neighborhoods with "plug-and-play" fume hoods and lab sinks, and clusters of casual seating beneath four-story high skylights.
These and other design elements embody the urge that is driving one of the country's most advanced interdisciplinary research hubs.
Developers see the institutes as a place where a diverse group of researchers from the UW-Madison campus and beyond will mix with each other and with industrial partners to tackle technical problems in new and unexpected ways.
Scientists at the institutes won't be holed up in offices connected by long, straight hallways like those that fill the older chemistry, computer sciences, engineering and physics buildings nearby. Rather, the building's glass walls, restaurants and wide-open spaces will encourage accidental contacts and promising conversations at every turn.
The public, too, will be encouraged to wander around the first floor of the 300,000-square-foot building, where they will find a lighted water wall, a sunken garden filled with plants from the dinosaur era, discovery areas with tools like microscopes whose magnified images are projected onto walls, and teaching labs for industry and school groups.
No sneaking out the back door, either. While the institutes' entries lead into the DeLuca Dairy Bar or past Steenboch's on Orchard, a 70-seat restaurant on the way to the pedestrian mall, the building has no exit at the back.
Stanford University has its James H. Clark Center. MIT and Harvard have their Broad Institute. But those are private centers for collaborative research.
The Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery will be the first public/private research center in the country attached to a major academic research institution, said George Austin, project manager as an employee of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, known as WARF.
Prime attraction
UW-Madison is among the top five research institutions in the country in its ability to draw federal funding, and the institutes are critical to keeping it here, said Carl Gulbrandsen, WARF's managing director.
Having public and private research centers provides flexibility and will help UW-Madison attract top researchers and increase the number of ways their research can be funded, Austin said.
"It's a competitive world in that space and this investment - and the collaboration that can take place - is required for UW-Madison to stay competitive with the big institutions on the two coasts," said Jay Bayne, executive director of the Milwaukee Institute and former chief technology officer at Johnson Controls Inc., Glendale.
"In that regard, it's a strategic move and it's a very impressive one," said Bayne, who toured the institutes construction site recently.
The institutes won't house any one academic department. They will be a collaborative hotbed for many of UW-Madison's top researchers - from stem cell pioneer James Thomson and TomoTherapy Inc. co-founder Thomas "Rock" Mackie to Miron Livny, a computer science and biochemistry professor who leads the Condor Project, which is working on ways to link computers in separate locations so they can perform large-scale, complex calculations.
Thomson, Mackie and Livny have all been invited to do their research in the private Morgridge Institute for Research, which is focused on virology, regenerative medicine, informatics and medical devices.
The public sector
The center also houses the public sector Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, which has chosen UW-Madison faculty members to lead research in five areas: epigenetics, or how genes are activated; tissue engineering; functional nursing; systems biology; and optimization, which uses a mathematical approach to minimize or maximize the variables related to subjects in biology or medicine.
Nursing and systems engineering professor Patricia Brennan's functional nursing lab, for example, will have a simulated home environment created from a room-sized advanced visualization system that combines high resolution with stereoscopic projection and 3D computer graphics. There, a team of experts in biomedical engineering, fabric and environmental design and computer science will work on projects like improving tools for measuring blood glucose and bettering meters that gauge respiratory function.
Researchers from other institutions around the world may also be invited to hold five-year appointments on both sides of the institutes, said Andy Cohn, a WARF spokesman.
The Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery were funded with $50 million each from the state and John and Tashia Morgridge, and $105 million from WARF, the nearly 90-year-old technology transfer organization for UW-Madison. WARF amended its charter so it could support the Morgridge Institute as well as the university.
Gulbrandsen, who spent a year getting input from about 250 UW-Madison faculty members at lunches and dinners, calls it a 100-year building, referring to the amount of time organizers hope the facility will be relevant to science.
"That place embodies where the world is going," said Greg Meier, an entrepreneur involved with PhysioGenix and Lansare Corp. who was previously chief executive of the Center for Educational Technologies in Wheeling, W.Va., home to the NASA-sponsored Classroom of the Future program.
"It's the re-emergence of the Renaissance, of collaboration," he said. "I was blown away by it."

Billionaires & Ballot Bandits on sale TODAY
September 17, 2012
Greg Palast's new book that could save the upcoming election: Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps, is on sale TODAY! Don't wait any longer to get a copy and get the word out to stop millions of votes from being stolen in the upcoming election.
Greg Palast's new book Billionaires & Ballot Bandits with an introduction by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and illustrated with a 50-page comic book by Ted Rall, may be the most important book published this election season. In his intro Bobby Kennedy says "Voter suppression is a crime. For example, voter 'caging' is illegal, and it is a crime that we know is practiced on a widespread basis. And yet, it isn't prosecuted…"
As Charles M. Blow wrote in a recent NYT Op-Ed column, referring to the wave of new ID requirements surfacing in many states: "Make no mistake about it, these requirements are not about the integrity of the vote but rather the disenfranchisement of voters."
Check out this recent review of Billionaires & Ballot Bandits in the San Diego Free Press.

Germany a world solar leader
Germany, which gets far less sun than South Carolina, has become a solar superpower because of aggressive government incentives.
In July, the country's solar panels produced the equivalent of 35 average-size American coal plants or 20 nuclear plants.
South Carolina gets as much solar radiation as Florida and some parts of California, two solar power hot spots, yet it ranks near the bottom compared to other states when it comes to solar energy production, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Solar a threat to power companies
Solar power presents a challenge to utilities. Many power companies make money by building power plants, installing lines and spending money on other infrastructure, charging ratepayers to pay for it all, and then taking a cut of the profits.
State regulators are charged with deciding what's a fair rate of return for these monopoly power utilities.
Solar power turns this business model upside down: Instead of a utility distributing power to hundreds of thousands of customers in a state-guaranteed market area, solar power puts electricity generation in the hands of customers. Because property owners pay for solar panels, utilities don't get the guaranteed returns they otherwise would earn by building new plants themselves.
In a report earlier this year, the Edison Electric Institute, a utility-funded group, said solar power presents a "disruptive challenge" to existing utilities that will transform the industry and squeeze revenues.
South Carolina law makes it illegal for a company to sell solar power back to a utility, unless a company in effect becomes a utility, with all the regulatory requirements that other power companies face.
S.C. power no longer cheap
South Carolina has the highest average residential power rate in the South at 11.78 cents per kilowatt-hour, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's July figures. South Carolina's average residential rate is slightly below the national average residential rate of 12.03 cents.

Famed actor Dick Van Dyke narrowly escaped serious injury or death when he was pulled from a burning car in Los Angeles on Monday (Aug. 19).
Van Dyke was driving on the 101 freeway when his Jaguar somehow caught on fire. Although the actor seems to have pulled over on his own, a passerby had to help the 87-year-old man get out of the vehicle (as reported by TMZ).
Jason Pennington, another driver on the highway at the time, saw Van Dyke's car filling with smoke and pulled over to help. He was able to open the driver's door and help the actor to safety. The engine fire responsible for the smoke subsequently destroyed the car.
Fortunately, Dick Van Dyke seems to have been just fine after his frightening experience. He did not receive any medical treatment and simply returned home with his wife when she was able to come get him.

Everyone knows there's only 1 real one?!
By Debbie
from Saint Hubert, Qc.
So if you have the confidence & presence to carry off wearing a glorious fake, why not? This ring is all about fun & celebration. I love this ring! A jaw-dropper...yes. A conversation starter...yes. A joy to wear...Oh yeah!! So have fun, girls and celebrate like royalty!
A lovely tribute!
By Neet
from Hamilton, ON
Firstly, to all those that complain this ring is too large to pass for real.....Of course it is! What it is, is a beautiful replica of the one of a kind, extremely valuable origal designed for a true Princess. I will proudly wear this as a tribute to Diana and Kate, and be reminded of the dreams every little girl had the day these lovely women married their Prince Charming. It is very well made and has beautiful shine and sparkle and is a great piece to wear for cocktail or holiday parties....a true conversation piece. This would have been 5 stars for me if the stone stayed true to a navy blue as opposed to a deep purple, but that won't stop me from keeping and treasuring this lovely piece.

I think that the cheap look of this ring is not because of it's size or the color of the simulated sapphire, it's because of the size of the white stones. They are too big and make the whole ring look unreal. If the same simulated sapphire was surrounded by a larger number of smaller white stones, the ring would look so much better. Sadly returned this one.

I was promptly greeted and walked through the process and no haggling or pushing either. Great and competitive prices as well. Great customer service and friendly employees.
Sold storage in a convenient location.
The on-site employee was a pleasure and checkin was a breeze.

Perfect location for access for items I needed to secure ahead of time for my new apt move-in. Easy in, easy out access to my unit. Everyone I dealt with were courteous and easy to work with. Anytime I need storage in the future, I will certainly return once again to Uncle Bob's Storage. Highly recommend.
Welcome to customers
Nice & clean they treat you with courtesy, the place its clean & well secured
What I needed for a quick move
The unit is humidity controlled vs climate controlled which allowed me to save money. The lady at the front desk was nice but seemed to not be having the best day and wouldn't let me do paperwork for the day before move in to save time and therefore a little more money. I was disappointed in that.
The customer service was great.
The bait in switch on price.
I was given one price on the phone and when I got there they almost doubled the price for the unit I wanted. I feel I was given the old bait in switch.
first timer the clerk made it easy to understand.
I was unsure on size but cs was very helpful.
Customer service is the best. Friendly and very helpful!

It was nice. I went into the office after making a reservation. I was putting things in my unit in about 5 minutes.
Easy move in
I had used Uncle Bob's storage when I lived in south FL (Hollywood/Pembroke Pines area), and they were fantastic!! Outstanding customer service.. almost/kind of felt like we were all friends and family or something every time I went there.. real comfortable environment and stuff.
So choosing Uncle Bob's again this time around wasn't a hard decision at all. This one's also like just the same as before I think. I don't fully remember what the people at the Hollywood one were like, but here at Casselberry, very helpful and very nice, etc.!!
They also look for more ways for you to save even more..things you wouldn't think of and stuff that is.
So I recommend UB to ANYONE and EVERYONE that's looking for a storage space to rent! (:
thanks for the attention. Very good service
Thank you. The attention was very good.
The person at the counter was very nice
and and gave us a great service.

What Philosophy Majors Do After College
"What Philosophy Majors Do After College" is comedian Jennifer Dziura's one-woman show of hilarity and the greats of Western thought. After graduating from Dartmouth with a degree in philosophy, Jennifer held job titles including office drone, art model, egg donor, subject of medical studies -- and finally, comedian. The show includes a humorous overview of the work of nearly twenty philosophers, from Thales to Foucault, accompanied by an aptly collegiate slideshow. "Dziura's topic is relatable to most floundering twenty-somethings, especially those of us who decided not to be brokers. Her show has substance, heart, and rapid-fire laughs. It's a gripping college lecture without a windbag professor." - Abbi Crutchfield for TheApiary

Coating Materials
A team of university students has developed an additive that converts paint to a conductive coating for transportation—an invention that has netted them a $10,000 grand prize.
The winning concept, called PolyDrop, took top honors at the fifth annual Environmental Innovation Challenge (EIC) at the University of Washington.
The program challenges interdisciplinary student teams to "define an environmental problem, design a solution, produce a prototype, and create a business summary that demonstrates market opportunity and the potential for impact."
The winning team took home a $10,000 prize for PolyDrop, which transforms paint into a lightweight alternative to metal-based conductive coatings.
Contributing to a Healthier Planet
EIC is a regional competition that combines so-called "cleantech innovation" with market opportunity, according to UW. The university defines cleantech innovation as "any product, process or service that reduces waste, minimizes energy consumption, and contributes to a healthier planet."
On April 4, 20 teams from universities and colleges around the Pacific Northwest met at UW to pitch their ideas, which addressed energy, built environment, water-related problems, recycling, and urban agriculture.
Taking first place, including a $10,000 prize, was PolyDrop, by the UW group.
A total of $22,500 was awarded among five teams, and prizes ranged from $2,500 to $10,000.
Stopping Static
PolyDrop is an additive that transforms regular paint into a conductive technology for carbon fiber composites in transportation industries. The resulting coating helps dissipate built-up static charges that can interfere with electronic systems in aircraft and vehicles.
The team developed a conductive polymer to make the additive, which can be added to existing paint in small quantities to create a lightweight alternative to metal-based conductive coatings.
According to the students' pitch: "The transportation industry is looking to move towards using light-weight carbon fiber materials to reduce fuel consumption and decrease carbon dioxide emissions. However, carbon fiber composites accumulate a static charge that will interfere with a vehicle's sensitive electronics. PolyDrop solves this problem by providing a means to dissipate static electricity with a viable conductive technology."
Supervised by Professor Danilo Pozzo, the winning team consisted of seniors Odin Jacobovitch, Scott Landro, Heather Milligan, Naomi Miyake, and Volha Hrechka.
Teams were judged on the problem they were addressing, their one-minute pitch to the judges, their prototype, and their ability to articulate the potential for environmental impact and commercial success.
The student teams were responsible for product development, including lab research, developing a business plan, and promotional materials.

Dr. Carolyn Crowder is the author of three parenting books, the first of which, Backtalk, was a bestseller. All three books have been sold to foreign publishers. She has appeared on national television including 20/20, Dateline, The Today Show, The Early Show, and Lifetime Live. Dr. Crowder has also been interviewed on TV programs and radio shows in major cities throughout the US. She is a tireless promoter of the Adlerian model of childrearing. Adlerians are concerned with understanding the unique and private beliefs and strategies (one's lifestyle), that each individual creates in childhood and which then serve as the individual's reference for attitudes, behavior, and one's private view of self, others and the world.
Dr. Crowder works part-time in the Sunnyside School District, at Los Ranchitos School, as a therapist for special education/ emotionally disabled elementary students. In addition to working with young students, she serves as a consultant to faculty, staff, and parents. Dr. Crowder maintains a small private practice in the afternoons. She was trained by Oscar Christensen and did her doctoral dissertation on the childrearing practices and philosophy of Zapotec Indians in rural Oaxaca, Mexico. She received her PH.D. in 1980.

In examining the history of the American Dream, especially in the rural areas of the new nation, the people either had too much of something or not quite enough to get along and survive. Here are a few samples of this statement:
East of the Mississippi River, an early settler found more trees than he wanted and spent a lot of time clearing the land to produce food and forage crops. Settlers could hardly find enough trees west of the river for building homes or even to provide firewood. They had to build their abodes out of adobe, rock, grass sod or burrow into a hillside.
In some areas the grass and brush was so thick the land had to be burned in order to plow. In other areas there was so little grass the land would not support the settler's livestock. The government never seemed to get the homestead acreage right for settler survival. In some areas 160 acres was more than a large family could farm and properly tend and in other areas 640 acres was not enough to provide a sustainable living standard.
Some lands, like the prairies with its "open range" designation, had too few legal rules and regulations, became over-grazed and brought on the livestock disasters that plagued the industry down through history. After the government stepped in, especially during the homesteading years, the rules and regulations became so difficult it required a lawyer to fill out the required documents.
During the 1920s, commodity prices were so high most farmers and ranchers plowed the lands or overproduced livestock numbers to the point the markets crashed.
Too much production brought on The Dust Bowl and numerous governmental regulations that have existed until modern times still affecting the prices of many commodities.
During the time from the 1800s to the late 1920s, equine horsepower was the major source of power with which to farm. To really farm 160 acres of land right, it required two or three men, with several teams of horses or mules and proper equipment. Half of the acreage farmed had to provide forage and grain for the work stock needed to pull the equipment.
When tractors appeared, one hard-working man could properly farm the same 160 acres in much less time than when using equine horsepower, and the formerly forage acreage could be turned into more profitable crops. This equation became the main problem during the Great Depression.
The Crash of '29 affected few rural people as most owned no stock. The banks closing did not affect many farm workers as they did not have bank accounts. The break in commodity prices did not affect them much, as they owned few livestock or growing crops.
But, when the boss bought a tractor with proper equipment, it took away the employee's job, home and source of money. Whereas equine farming required three people to farm 160 acres, the same farm only required one man driving a tractor. Almost overnight, two out of three rural-based families lost their jobs and home, as it usually belonged to the farm owner.
The economy was poor, the drought was severe, but all was brought on by having too much for too long. Then the times changed and most all had too little to survive.

'Hope Against Hope' explores education in New Orleans
New Orleans did not volunteer to become a laboratory for experiments in revitalizing public school education. But the widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 led to a series of actions that have almost completely altered the city's schools.
The Louisiana Legislature placed many New Orleans schools, already underperforming and troubled, in the state-run Recovery School District. Most are now charter schools. »Read Full Article
Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article

While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article
