Attending the game last night, I was impressed at just how well the pro-USA crowd was achieved. There really was very little green either in the stadium or in the tailgating lots.
A lot less green than there was 4 years ago. It helped that the USSF expanded the designated supporters sections.
Beg Ohio State to get Ohio Stadium. If it didn't sell out 100K, it would be very close.
I think this particular matchup benefits from the intimacy of the stadium. It's sounds weird, but I'm not sure you can achieve the same energy at a larger venue in the Columbus area. I think it might get diluted.
Anyway, here are some videos and pics for you to enjoy. Or not enjoy. I don't care. I'm still coming down off of the high from Tuesday.

I wish the cameras had caught the incident that gave Besler the yellow.
I wish Besler would've taken one for the team and taken Campbell down to prevent the breakaway on the 3rd CRC goal.
Also, I apologize if this isn't the proper forum but I have 3 tickets up for grabs in the US supporters section (well, one of the many US supporter sections) for Tuesday if any Spofites are interested.

I'm still a firm believer of rooting for your local side, but I'm not shocked that he's a Cowboys fan. I knew quite a few Cowboys and 49ers fans growing up. This was due to either who their parents were fans of or which team/player was big at the time they started following the NFL. Same with hockey. I'm a lifelong resident of NJ, but I'm a Rangers fan because I fell in love with Ron Duguay before the Devils came to town.

As a RBNY supporter, I've been against NY2 for a number a reasons. When the rumors started that MCFC would be involved, that jumped to the top of my list. The hypocrisy of MLS doing business with Sheikh Mansour after rolling out their 'Don't Cross the Line' campaign two months ago is almost laughable.

This game was supposed to be played at Red Bull Arena, with the second leg to be played on Wednesday at DC. But the venues were switched due to damage and power outages from Sandy to the area around RBA. It's still uncertain whether there will be PATH service (the subway line that goes directly to the stadium) will be running by Wednesday's game.

Sorry, goddam, but if the Red Bulls could draw like the Sounders RBA would be much larger.
No need to apologize. I wish we drew numbers like that as well.
We have a whole list of things working against us, from competing with 9 other pro teams during various parts of the season to incompetent ownership/front office. The advertising budget that the mothership in Austria gives to RBNY is embarrassing for the NY Metro market. This year RB North America has been helping out on the marketing end, but they don't know shit about the sport. As a 'thank you' to supporters they sent everyone a can a Red Bull in the mail. With the money they spent on that mailing they could have helped us out with tifo funds or bus trips.
Sorry for the rant. It's been a frustrating year (which has sadly been the case for the last 17 years.)

MSE won't play the catch-up to update the signature either. So I went back to Avast for a week or two.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64, XP Mode, W8.1 Preview VM - 7 Pro x64 second remote tower | The first time I ran MS SE was along the free version of AVG until one day not having the AVG security toolbar enabled saw a trojan getpast both! That's when I decided to followup on the advice to give the VIPRE Premium a good look over. That has everything rolled into one software and has shown itself the best run so far. Includes all forms of malware protection layers including rootkit protection. Blocks bad sites out completely before you stumble into trojans and other things. But it doesn't come free. |

Editor's Notes: All the news that's ... free |
| Print | |
Robin Doussard |
Wednesday, April 14, 2010 |
This year's Pulitzer Prizes were distinguished by a new-generation nonprofit newsroom sharing a prize with an old-generation newspaper newsroom. And while the prize duly rewards remarkable work and shows that a new content model clearly produces outstanding journalism, it doesn't prove a financial solution for the distressed industry. This week, ProPublica shared the Pulitzer for investigative work with The New York Times for the astounding story that a ProPublica reporter did about a New Orleans hospital after Hurricane Katrina, which ran in The New York Times Magazine. ProPublica has been up and running for only a little more than two years. Based in Manhattan, it is focused on investigations in the public interest and is primarily funded by Bay Area billionaires Herbert and Marion Sandler, whose Sandler Foundation gave $10 million to start the nonprofit. ProPublica's stories are offered free to traditional news organizations and also published on its website. Paul Steiger, ProPublica's editor-in-chief, told Joe Strupp of Media Matters after the prizes were announced Monday that winning the Pulitzer "suggests that our nonpartisan, nonprofit model can serve a role in this time of expanding change in the media." Serve a role, absolutely. It is clear that when you have the money to hire some of the best journalists in the country — as ProPublica has been able to do — extraordinary work of great importance can be done. But foundation-supported journalism is a limited option. There are not that many billionaire benefactors willing to give $10 million to the profession. Actually, just one that I can think of. The newly released report, The State of the News Media 2010, is the seventh edition of the Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism. It is an exhaustive and definitive look at the health of American media. Dear patient, the news is not good. "The prospects for assembling sufficient economies of scale, audience and authority may be most promising at specialized national and international sites — efforts like ProPublica, Kaiser Health News and Global Post. For all the invention and energy, however, the scale of these new efforts still amounts to a small fraction of what has been lost." It added that J-Lab, a project that studies new media, estimates that $141 million of nonprofit money has gone into new media efforts over the last four years (not including public broadcasting). "That is less than one-tenth of the losses in newspaper resources alone." In addition to the as-yet small world of nonprofit newsgathering, ProPublica's model of giving away its work suits its nonprofit mission. But in the for-profit world, giving your work away for free is a sure way to go out of business. Newspapers and magazines learned that a little too late, as many consumers have dropped paid subscriptions to newspapers and magazines and headed to news websites to get the same information for free — a decision by publishers made years ago often called the Original Sin. Those websites have lots of traffic, but generate only a fraction of the advertising revenue that print does. Even though a few news companies require you to pay for their online content, and The New York Times has said that next year it will move to a paid model for its online content, putting that horse back in the barn appears highly unlikely. Our hope is that when we build it, you will come — and pay for it. Robin Doussard is Editor of Oregon Business. |

So, how will the Cougars stack up in the West Coast Conference now that there's a track record of games and some statistical analysis and preseason polls to debate?
It should be a competitive run at the top, just like we saw in the Mountain West Conference with top-tier favorites bloodying noses.
Gonzaga is picked to finish first, followed by St. Mary's and then newcomer BYU at third. Gonzaga has the clout, the reputation and the pedigree. It is a respected ESPN pet team that's proven over and over again that it can make a splash where and when it counts.
On the basis of that tradition, Gonzaga has earned the title of the team to beat. The Cougars are coming into the 'Zags' domain. Out of the chute, the establishment should be favored.
Dave Rose and his BYU squad must earn respect in this circle. BYU appears to be doing just that.
So far, after a run of pre-conference games, the preseason poll by WCC media appears to be following the traditional script.
BYU can make an early statement on Thursday if it can beat St. Mary's on the road.
The WCC is top-heavy with some beat-down fodder at the bottom. Much has been made of playing in smaller arenas by the newcomer BYU. Will that be a factor for or against — or is it just down-clicks on some fashion meter?
This is a league that, if the bottom were tougher, may warrant a look by the NCAA as a three-bid conference in March. If not, there will be a great premium placed on the league's conference tournament in Las Vegas in the Orleans Arena two months from now for that guaranteed automatic ticket.
A check with the computer nerd corps confirms preseason speculation.
If you check Jeff Sagarin's latest USA Today computer rankings, St. Mary's is ranked 18th with an 11-2 record. The Gaels achieve that ranking with a strength of schedule at 185.
Sagrain has 10-3 BYU 28th with a similar strength of schedule at 184, and 9-2 Gonzaga is 41st with the league's toughest strength of schedule at 127.
Ken Pomeroy rates BYU No. 20 nationally, followed by St. Mary's at No. 27 and Gonzaga 29th.
Pomeroy has 11-2 Wisconsin, which defeated BYU on a neutral court in Chicago, as No. 1, followed by 12-1 Ohio State. Interesting to note, UNLV is 18th while the highest Pac-12 team, Cal, is 17th according to Pomeroy.
ESPN's Jay Bilas released his top-60 rankings, which are not a computer matrix but his own guess after his research, and he has Gonzaga ranked 27th, BYU 35th and St. Mary's 37th.
Sizing up the Cougars so far is an interesting exercise.
Because Rose has experimented with one of the most important cogs in his machinery for what will be 14 games before the league opener.
In a word, he's "fiddled" with that spot for two months. He's been forced to.
Rose has invested a lot of time in the Jimmer Fredette point guard replacement matrix. He started 6-foot-6 shooting guard and small forward Brock Zylstra at that position to begin things. He then turned the reins over to freshman Anson Winder and junior Craig Cusick.
The Winder/Cusick move worked and just as they settled in, the long-awaited Dec. 17 date arrived when UCLA transfer freshman Matt Carlino became eligible to play. Rose then turned the starting role over to Carlino against a top-10 Baylor team.

A man is beaten in front of a downtown club during peak business hours and later dies from his injuries, but so far only one witness has come forward.
Brian Pentecost, 42, was found lying in front of club Suite 101 on West 5th Street. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead about a week later, and now the APD is calling it a homicide. Sergeant Brian Miller says it happened right in front of the busy club, on a Friday night around midnight. He tells KLBJ, "Mr. Pentecost was standing in front of Suite 101 when he was approached by an unknown white male and assaulted. Following the assault, the suspect fled the scene."
Miller says so far only one person has come forward. He says there are very few HALO cameras west of Congress so they don't have any footage, and there is no business surveillance either.
The suspect is described as a muscular white male, in his 20's or 30's, around 6'2". Anyone with information is asked to call the department's homicide tip line at 512-477-3588 or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.

Wonderful location, great setup, very inviting, would stay again next time we visit.
Ad, the host, was always there to help and was joy to be around.
Beautiful jungle villa! We really enjoyed our short time there. Be ready for the jungle! Air conditioning by request
We loved our stay at the JungleVilla. Adrian made us feel welcomed right away. Great location and an awesome view of the jungle and ocean. Like other reviews yes it is a hard spot to find. We took a taxi and had to ask several locals where the place was because there is no sign. But other than that its an awesome place. There is a huge open kitchen and the common areas are decorated really well. Its close to restaurants and food markets. I would definitely recommend!
What a wonderful time we had at the Jungle Villa! We saw more wildlife there than any other place we visited. Ad was a very good host. it was so exciting to hear the jungle at night time. Accommodations were pleasing. We originally booked just 2 days there, we liked it so much we booked 2 more days!
We had a wonderful stay at the Jungle Villa in Manuel Antonio! We will go back again. Ad was very helpful and kind. I especially loved hearing the Howler Monkey's in the early morning.
Staying at Jungle Villa really was a pleasure. The team is welcoming and and really available. Ad gave me a lot of information before I came. The place is really lovely. Unfortunately, I did spend enough time to make the most of it. It is at 30 min walk and 5min drive from the beach and Manuel Antonio Park. A lot of places to eat around there and a super market not so far.
The place is a little hidden. When you take the little street in front of Byblos in Manuel, it will be right on your left. A little gate lost behind a wall of trees. There is no sign and you have to ring the bell.
You should be able to go to the park or quepos with a 500 colonnes collective taxi ride and even less with the bus. Count between 1500 and 3000 for non collective.
Our stay at Jungle Villa was absolutely amazing! The property is phenomenal- a large villa with lots of space, three fun pools, many areas to relax & sit, and tons of wildlife surrounding the place. We stayed in the main room which was absolutely huge and very charming. We were there in the low season so we actually had the entire place to ourselves & it was extremely economical. We stayed two nights and enjoyed the sounds of the jungle- we heard all kinds of nature including birds, frogs and monkeys. The place is hidden from all others and the owner Ad has great directions to get there without any problems. The area is very secure and we felt very safe the entire time. We had many great conversations with the owner Ad and enjoyed talking with him, a very delightful man of world travels. This property is great if you enjoy nature with great views looking to the ocean but like Ad has told us its not for people looking for supreme luxury. It's in the jungle so naturally there's going to be geckos, lizards, and occasional bugs present. The last night we saw about 10 squirrel monkeys hanging out on one palm branch closest to the sitting area- pretty cool! Overall it was a wonderful stay and Ad knows how to run the place! The location is great- near many places to eat and a short drive to Manuel Antonio National Park. Thank you for a great end to our Costa Rica stay.
Good value and a lovey place to stay! The rooms were very big (almost too big), WiFi was available, and there was a kitchen to cook meals. A car is helpful as the National Park is about a 5-10 minute drive. Ad was very friendly. However, the place is hard to find. We didn't have a GPS and without a sign (we also arrived at night, in the rain) we were lost for about 20 minutes.
Of all properties in Costa Rica, we have the most detailed location description. On our location page guests find: 1) Our exact location on (website hidden) Maps 2) Our GPS coordinates 3) Instructions how to program a GPS 4) Aerial view of the villa and surrounding hotels 5) Driving directions to the villa from San Jose area in text and maps. All or part of this info can be printed out or saved to a mobile device.
great place....close to local transport if you don't have a vehicle. walking distance to many eateries, which is nice. Ad is a very nice host and good to ask questions about how to get around. Really enjoyed the relaxing vibe of the place itself. And the monkey visit was amazing. Martha and Jason..the grounds keeper and security guard were very helpful. In Advance, let Ad know if you need to use laundry services and make sure the a/c is working if you will be needing it at night! Make sure you discuss this before hand!!! Also Wifi is restricted to only the kitchen/common area, not very private if there are others, still manageable but not what we expected. Not any clear signs as to how to find it, which doesn't make it easy but if you find the Byblos hotel and bar you are across the street on a downward path. After like 70 meters you will see a green gate on your left and you have arrived, ring the intercom.
Although Emilio and his wife were very pleasant company, we were disappointed we had an incident with them about using our washer and dryer. Of course we have a washer and dryer in our big villa, but that's not an amenity for our guests as everyone can see on our list of amenities.. We need the washer and dryer for our own washing needs. There are at least 4 public laundry services in Quepos and Manuel Antonio, the nearest one being 2 min. drive away. But Emilio saw our washer and started to use our washer and dryer without asking permission and without any payment.
Visitors of Costa Rica should realize that 1) Costa Rica has very high import duties and taxes on luxury imported goods like washers and dryers 2) Costa Rica has the highest electricity rates in the World which are increased by 20 to 30 percent every year! The more KwH you use in Costa Rica, the more you pay per KwH. I know hotels nearby who pay US$ 900 a month for just the electricity their swimming pool pump is using.
Before new guests are arriving we make sure the air-conditioning are working ok and that the guests only have to press the On/Off button, nothing more.
Our wifi works in the entire 4000-square feet common area and in most bedrooms. The common area has 5 terraces with a total of 30 seats, enough privacy to go online wherever you want to sit.
This was our first time stay via Airbnb at a private owner's. Overall it was a good experience.
Me and my husband visiting from California stayed in the room upstairs for two nights during third week of April 2013.
The building looked kind of an old structure and the room had very different floor plan. It was quite spacious. Lots of towels available in the bathroom so you don't have to ask for beach towels.
The shared kitchen had basic amenities like coffee maker.. And the patio had amazing view.
I imagined monkeys hopping around given that it was "Jungle villa". But unfortunately during our two nights stay I didn't get to see any. Although I heard them passing by very early in the morning (5-6 am); probably monkey's didn't want to wait for me to wake up ;)
Ad is a nice fellow to talk to and provided good information around.
One little inconvenience - we never got to keep the keys to our room like normally in hotels. Every time when going out we had to leave them back; and when coming back wait for someone to receive at the main entrance and pick up the keys from reception. Good for security though.
Given that we didn't spend much time on the room, don't have any complaints. It was good value for money for $50.

The impact of nutritional deficiencies on health should be common knowledge among the medical professional community. All doctors, nurses and other medical professionals should be able to quickly and accurately identify and diagnose functional nutritional deficiencies in patients and correct those deficiencies. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Medical teaching institutions do not focus on nutrition, so many medical professionals are not equipped to recognize the signs of nutritional deficiencies until the patient is extremely sick. In most cases, the patient is able to function, just not at his or her potential. He or she may have weight issues, skin, hair or (more…)

As a runner I have learned the importance of properly fueling my body.
Skimping on calories & nutrients hurts performance and can hurt your body, too. Carbohydrates are important to supply muscles with glycogen for exercise and a snack of protein & carbs is important after running to help refuel & repair muscles. It imperative to begin this process as soon as possible after a run, but absolutely within 30 minutes.
I have been a little lax on refueling recently,but that has to stop. My current,soon-to-be history, routine for my long runs involved meeting up with my MIT group, running, socializing, driving home (with a coffee detour) and then eating breakfast. By the time I was actually sitting down to eat it was easily 1+ hours later. Not good.
Last week I shared my plan of action for better training with you guys. I am taking it seriously and am now going to include these Mix 1 Protein Shakes in the Saturday routine to see how they work for me. (more…)

Nov 8, 2011 Stayed here because I had to go back and froth to the airport a few times. It turned out to be a great hotel. The location is a bit industrial, but if you have a car it is easy driving. Staff were great and the room was a real treat. the Aloft brand is great value. Related Links

shining rock wilderness question....
Hi everyone....I am planning a late afternoon jaunt into the shining rock wilderness tommorrow...I am planning on taking rd816 off the blue ridge mile 420 i think...I think I'll have time to put in about 3 miles or so...
Anyone know if there is hanging ops towards sam's knob or little sam's knob , or Flat Laurel? I hear there are lots of meadows/balds. .. I seem to remember the vague existence of another type of shelter I could use in open areas if there are no trees, I think I may even have one in my garage somewhere if it came to that...man , that would be desperate. I am open to another route as well... thanks to all |

North side of Flat Laurel can be difficult to find adequate trees, although it is possible. A few weeks ago for our last night we camped in meadow between Sam's Knob and Flat Laurel and it took me hour to find a spot. On the south/west side of Flat Laurel are many trees that are suitable. So far on three separate 4-day trips, I've always found a place to hang.

If you take the Flat Laurel Creek trail south out of the parking lot, after it hangs a sharp right, along both sides of the creek there are several good places to hang.
There is a large stand of spruce right behind the parking area that has an abundance of options. Even though it's really close to the road, it's big enough that you don't feel crowded. It'd be a good option if you don't have much daylight left when you get there. Walk to the far side of the trees and set up, and watch the sunset over Sam Knob. Beautiful. I know there are places to camp up on Black Balsam/Tennent Mtn on the Art Loeb trail, but last time I was up there was pre-hammock, so I don't know about spots to hang. That's one of my very favorite areas to camp. Pay attention for rattlesnakes. There's enough people use that there are plenty of mice = rattlers. |

US Elections: Romney's concession speech
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's concession speech after Obama's re-election.
Thank you.
I have just called President Obama to congratulate him on his victory. His supporters and his campaign also deserve congratulations. I wish all of them well, but particularly the president, the first lady and their daughters.
This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation.
I want to thank Paul Ryan for all that he has done for our campaign and for our country. Besides my wife, Ann, Paul is the best choice I've ever made. And I trust that his intellect and his hard work and his commitment to principle will continue to contribute to the good of our nation.
I also want to thank Ann, the love of my life. She would have been a wonderful first lady. She's — she has been that and more to me and to our family and to the many people that she has touched with her compassion and her care.
I thank my sons for their tireless work on behalf of the campaign, and thank their wives and children for taking up the slack as their husbands and dads have spent so many weeks away from home.
I want to thank Matt Rhoades and the dedicated campaign team he led. They have made an extraordinary effort not just for me, but also for the country that we love.
And to you here tonight, and to the team across the country — the volunteers, the fundraisers, the donors, the surrogates — I don't believe that there's ever been an effort in our party that can compare with what you have done over these past years. Thank you so very much.
Thanks for all the hours of work, for the calls, for the speeches and appearances, for the resources and for the prayers. You gave deeply from yourselves and performed magnificently. And you inspired us and you humbled us. You've been the very best we could have imagined.
The nation, as you know, is at a critical point. At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering and political posturing. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people's work. And we citizens also have to rise to the occasion.
We look to our teachers and professors, we count on you not just to teach, but to inspire our children with a passion for learning and discovery. We look to our pastors and priests and rabbis and counselors of all kinds to testify of the enduring principles upon which our society is built: honesty, charity, integrity and family. We look to our parents, for in the final analysis everything depends on the success of our homes. We look to job creators of all kinds. We're counting on you to invest, to hire, to step forward. And we look to Democrats and Republicans in government at all levels to put the people before the politics.
I believe in America. I believe in the people of America. And I ran for office because I'm concerned about America. This election is over, but our principles endure. I believe that the principles upon which this nation was founded are the only sure guide to a resurgent economy and to renewed greatness.
Like so many of you, Paul and I have left everything on the field. We have given our all to this campaign.
I so wish — I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction, but the nation chose another leader. And so Ann and I join with you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation.
Thank you, and God bless America. You guys are the best. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks, guys.end of story marker

Toyota and Ford unveiled plug-in hybrid-electric versions of their vehicles at this week's Detroit Auto Show. This decision to give in and plug in is monumental. Consumer pressure from organizations like PlugInAmerica and Plug-In Partners most likely played a significant role. The growing number of entrepreneurial companies that offer plug-in conversion services could have also influenced Toyota's and Ford's decision to offer plug-in models themselves.
Both the Plug-In Toyota Prius and the Ford Escape Hybrid will run on lithium-ion battery technology known for high-efficiency and high-range capabilities. Although Ford did not announce when it plans to deliver its model to the public, Toyota President Watanabe said it will offer its Plug-in Prius models to fleet owners and governments in 2010.

Sherri Tombarge, Editorial Services P: (540) 464-7207F: (540) 464-7443VMI, 111 Smith HallLexington, VA 24450
LEXINGTON, Va., Oct. 18, 2011 – "For every physical activity you do, there's a better way and a worse way." That was one of several gems of wisdom bestowed on VMI cadets by barefoot running advocate Chris McDougall during a talk yesterday in Gillis Theater. His example, how to fall the right way from a 96-foot tree, made an interesting opening for cadets in the audience, many of whom are part of VMI's Institute Honors program and all of whom pursue physical activity as a routine part of cadet life. The right way to fall from such a tree, according to McDougall, allows you to survive. And the right way to run allows the runner to use sensory input to move in a way that is less likely to result in injury and more likely to result in enjoyment. The modern running shoe denies the typical runner much of that sensory input, asserted McDougall, who is author of Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen (2009), which added momentum to the barefoot running movement. Touching on one aspect of the controversy surrounding barefoot running, McDougall said that the modern running shoe is the subject of a $17 billion industry based on a lie. "There is no study showing running shoes reduce injuries." Exposure to ideas like this one, that challenge the norm, is one of the goals of VMI's honors program. "The Institute Honors program is about enrichment – about broadening cadets' understanding of issues and ideas beyond their majors," commented Col. Rob McDonald, associate dean for academic affairs. Although honors cadets were required to attend, the talk generated much interest. "This morning, for example, 20 honors cadets signed up to talk to Chris McDougall over breakfast," said McDonald. "This was entirely optional, but all 20 seats had been spoken for within 24 hours after I sent the announcement. The honors cadets are hungry for this kind of engagement." The talk also touched on the value of research, which is of immediate interest to these cadets. "I thought the most interesting thing he said was how he asked what was apparently a simple question about how one older man could run so well, and in the course of doing his research he discovered that the question had important broad moral and cultural implications that he could not have anticipated but which became the focus of his interest," added McDonald. The book explores techniques employed by a tribe of people McDougall considers to be the world's greatest distance runners, the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico. These Indians, he said, can run hundreds of miles without rest and are immune to the diseases and strife that plague modern existence The talk also appeared to interest many cadets and faculty who are runners, inspiring a lively question and answer period afterward. In fact, Dean of the Faculty Brig. Gen. Wane Schneiter, an athlete himself, noted in introducing McDougall that he had received the book as a birthday present and had enjoyed it with his own children. "The most rewarding thing about this [revolution in running technique]," said McDougall near the end of his talk, "is watching people learn to trust themselves and inform themselves." After noting, in response to a question from the audience, that shoes designed to protect the foot from cold and other hazards can be helpful, McDougall advised those interested in trying to technique: "The best way to transition [to running without shoes] is not to transition at all. Just do it. If it hurts, stop." McDougall, a contributing editor for Men's Health magazine and former Associated Press war correspondent, gave the talk as part of VMI's Distinguished Speakers Series. – Sherri Tombarge

As soon as we arrived we were greeted like we were old friends!! The entire property was BEAUTIFUL and beautifully set. The staff was ever so helpful with every question we had, helped us with where we wanted to visit, places to eat etc. All the way down to the breakfast was so well thought out to make our stay so very nice and welcoming. The only bad thing I can say about The Ambrosia is we had to leave!!! Will go back there again!! Fantastic place, with wonderful people! 1 block from Duval Street and all the great shops and restaurants.

Mutual fund investors who decided a year or more ago to take a chance on commodity funds have now found out what all the warnings and danger signs were about.
The question is how they intend to deal with it.
Prices for commodities have risen dramatically over the past year, with a wide range of factors behind the trend. Many investors used commodities to hedge against a weakening U.S. dollar and the threat of inflation. Others liked the story of growing worldwide demand, especially from emerging markets. And there was the turmoil in the Middle East and its potential to change the supply picture for oil.
No matter the reason, commodity investors were rewarded. The average broad-basket commodity fund returned around 40% more than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) over the past 12 months, according to Morningstar. No one was complaining with annualized average returns well north of the 20% line.
But no one ever complains when the volatility is to the upside. If the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) gains 1,000 points tomorrow, investors will be partying; if the market drops 1,000 points -- same move, different direction -- bolt the windows shut.
And over the past several weeks, commodities have shown that their volatility is not just to the upside.
Silver, among the biggest gainers in the commodity uprising, fell 27% in the first week of May alone, after hitting a 31-year high. Oil prices dropped 15% in the same week.
Over the last month, commodity-sector mutual funds suffered double-digit declines and have since bounced back. But few investors signed up thinking their funds would drop 7% in a month, about the average for commodity funds, as calculated by Lipper.
Buy high, sell low
This is the time in investment cycles when fund investors typically make their biggest mistakes. Unlike the sharpies who came in early on market moves, most buyers were late to decide that they needed more exposure to commodities than they might get through their ordinary funds. In fact, many were content until they saw the oversized gains commodities were putting up.
At that point, they decided it was time to make an allocation decision. They weren't buying commodities to get the hot asset class, because retail investors don't see themselves as timing or chasing the market. They just felt that the story was so good and the diversification benefits so strong that they needed to commit a piece of their portfolio to it.
Now, however, they're reacting to the volatility and price drop. Measures of fund flows show money racing out of commodity funds, which means that some investors who bought at a high price are selling low.
"If you are allocating the appropriate amount towards commodities -- no more than 10% to 15% of the total portfolio should be in commodities, because they are so volatile -- then you should just leave it in place and don't try to time things," said Holly Hooper-Fournier, the editor of the Mutual Fund Strategist newsletter, which uses mutual funds to implement timing strategies.
"That's hard for the commodities investors who were late to the game," she added. "They did not have the benefit of the run-up of the last 12 months. They bought in recently because of the story, and now they're getting a timing sell signal, or they're just feeling the volatility because it's against them and they want to blow up their strategy."
But the fundamentals haven't changed, said Walter Frank, the chief investment officer for Moneyletter.
'There is no free lunch'
"You are buying commodities on the premise that global growth ultimately will show up in demand for commodities, meaning that you will do reasonably well in the long run," Frank said. "The people who do spectacularly well playing commodities, well, let's just say that's not the average guy buying a commodities mutual fund. So if you've got a commodities fund, you play the fundamentals and try to ignore the ups and downs, no matter how spectacular those moves can be."
Ignoring the downs is never easy, as investors in commodity funds are finding out. In fact, those swings are readily visible in the performance charts, where Lipper shows the average commodity fund with an annualized gain of 16.4% over the past 24 months but an annualized loss of 12.25% over the past three years. Over the past 10 full calendar years, the average commodity fund was up in seven of them, but the two biggest moves (both well over 30%) were to the downside.
"Ask yourself why you got into commodities in the first place," said Jeff Tjornehoj, senior research analyst for Lipper. "If you bought in because you felt your portfolio was not capturing the full market of securities, then you should have known that there is no free lunch and that the run would not go on forever. Backing away now would just reopen that hole in your portfolio. And if you have commodities in their proper place -- so that they are a smaller portion of your overall holdings -- there's just no reason to panic."
