Found February 03, 2013 on
Allen Iverson has had his share of off-the-court issues since last playing in the NBA in 2010.
This week, his divorce with his wife, Tawanna Iverson, became final. His ex-wife has legal and physical custody over their five children and, to make matter's worse, an Atlanta judge brought up Iverson's many shortcomings as a father in the divorce decree.
In the decree, first posted by TMZ.com, the judge referred to Iverson as a "hindrance" to his children's growth and mentioned Iverson's problems with alcohol.
"[Iverson] does not know how to manage the children; has little interest in learning to manage the children and has actually, at times, been a hindrance to their spiritual and emotional growth and development.
For example, he has refused to attend to an obvious and serious alcohol problem, which has caused him to do inappropriate things in the presence of the children while impaired.
He has left the children alone without supervision. He has left his young daughters in a hotel room...
Original Story:
Judge rips Allen Iverson as a parent, orders him to attend AA meetings

Owners and investors in Highland Brewing Co. have purchased the remainder of the old Blue Ridge Motion Pictures lot where the brewery is based.
There are no immediate plans, however, to expand the Highland operation, said company founder and president Oscar Wong.
Highland already controlled 70,000 square feet and 10 acres of the lot, and has added another 110,000 square feet and 30 more acres, Wong said. ... The purchase price was about $2.5 million, which is about the same cost of Highland's move to the property in 2006, Wong said. Read the full article

The arrest warrant was issued in August [JURIST report] in relation to the extrajudicial execution of seven inmates at the Pavon prison in 2006. Vielmann has maintained his innocence, contending that the inmates died in a prison riot. Official corruption has been an ongoing problem in Guatemala. In June, the Constitutional Court removed Attorney General Conrado Reyes from office after the former head of CICIG, Carlos Castresana, accused him of ties to organized crime [JURIST reports]. In March, the US State Department released its 2010 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report [text, PDF], which highlighted Guatemala as a key player in the Latin American drug trade. Corruption among high-ranking officials was cited as one of the country's biggest problems. The Guatemalan Congress voted to create CICIG [JURIST report] in 2007 in order to investigate organized crime and official corruption.
The US should not be on the outside looking in at the most successful humanitarian and disarmament treaty of the past decade. The Obama administration has been pondering the Mine Ban Treaty for more than a year now. It's time to make the right decision.
The US is one of only two countries in the western hemisphere that is not a party to the treaty. The treaty currently has 156 state parties worldwide, with two additional signatories who have not ratified the treaty. In 2004, the Bush administration geared US policy away [CDI backgrounder] from signing the mine treaty and substituted usage of persistent mines with non-persistent mines. The Clinton administration did not sign the Mine Ban Treaty, but in 1998 issued Presidential Decision Directive 64 [FAS backgrounder], instructing the US military to explore alternate weapons and outlining US commitment to sign the treaty by 2006. The treaty opened for signature in December 1997, and signatory countries ban the use [ICBL backgrounder] of anti-personnel mines, destroy stockpiles and take measures towards clearing mines, as well as help countries with fewer resources clear mines and give assistance to victims.
In August, DeLay's lawyer confirmed that a US Department of Justice (DOJ) criminal probe into DeLay's association with lobbyist Jack Abramoff [JURIST news archive] had been dismissed without charges being filed [JURIST report]. The investigation lasted six years and included grand jury testimony from former aides as well as a review of more than 1,000 documents and e-mails from DeLay's office. In August 2008, a Texas appeals court allowed the money laundering indictment [JURIST report] against DeLay's associates to stand. In 2007, a Texas appeals court ruled against reinstating a charge of conspiracy to violate the state's election law against DeLay and his two associates. After he was indicted, DeLay stepped down as House majority leader and later resigned from Congress [JURIST reports].

> Oregon
Oregon are one of the first and greatest groups to give birth to the world jazz sound. Some of the principal members of the group met at the University of Oregon, but it was another 10 years before they'd release their first album. The Oregon sound downplays the traditional influence of swing and rhythm and blues in jazz, but retains the jazz emphasis on improvisation. Founding member Collin Walcott died in a car accident in 1984, causing the group to temporarily disband before he was replaced by percussionist Trilok Gurtu.
"You don't have to go out and get this music; it washes over you and sweeps you up in the elevated creative process that is Oregon...Oregon is lit up with incandescence on Beyond Words...Oregon albums, always the same and always different, are among the things in this life of which there cannot be too many." - Thomas Conrad, Stereophile, February 1996
"These guys have got the real chops...Because you are in the presence of three guys with ferocious musical talent, every track offers something of value tonally, rhythmically, or compositionally." - The Tracking Angle, Winter 1995/96
"After the onslaught of the neo-conservative jazz records of the last few years I found it refreshing to wallow in the unrepentant New Age/Folk/Jazz/whatever 'fusion' of Oregon's latest recording Beyond Words. We're not talking turgid Windham Hill ear candy fusion-these cats can play there's 25 years of group chemistry and musicianship on display here." - Steve Marks, Bass Frontiers, 1995

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 45
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by The Vacationers Happy Wife Happy Life
I took my wife to the Palazzo for Valentine's Day. Katia at the front desk was a Godsend. She helped us upgrade from the Luxury Suite to the Sienna Suite and gave us a room on the 41st floor. Thanks Katia. We requested the mountain view and thank goodness we did. The view was incredible. We were greeted every morning with the most beautiful sunrise in the west. There was a private toilet in the master bath with separate Jacuzzi tub. The shower was equipped for a small tribe. The his and her sinks were fantanstic. The suite also had a half bath by the dining and living room area. We had an amazing stay.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by MR & Mrs TAT Great Vacation Best Hotel
My wife and I absolutely loved this hotel. When I was looking at hotel properties for our recent vacation January 24 to Jan 30 2014 I was looking at convenient location. If you are looking at enhancing your Las Vegas Experience this hotel is for you. All the rooms in this hotel are suites so no suprises they are beautiful, and roomy at 720 square ft. I believe that the extra money you spend on this hotel property as opposed to cheaper hotels increases the quality of your vacation experience by a factor of 10 or more, it really makes the difference between an ok experience you might get at a less expensive hotel to a Fabulous Great Vacation. Believe me I have stayed at other properties and they do not hold a candle to the Palazzo.This hotel was convenient to all the shows we saw, such as ( David Spade at the Venetian ), La Reve at the Wynn, Madame Tussauds. All the restaurants were top notch. I would highly recommend this hotel.
02 February 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by InSFnow One of the best hotels in Las Vegas.
Palazzo and Venetian are among my favorite hotels in Las Vegas. The location is great. The hotel's exterior and interior are fabolous. No delay at check-in. Friendly staff. Spacious and comfortable suite. Good casinos. Cigarette smoke odor in the casino areas wasn't a big problem. Excellent restaurants. The self-parking garage has easy entry to the guest elevators. There isn't much not to like.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by auha Great hotel but lack of Priority Club Platinum recognition/benefit
Very disappointed with the lack of Platinum recognition, no room upgrades, no welcome fruit plate, basically no benefits given as Platinum status.
28 January 2014
Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Hurley82 Was my room cleaned?
Not a typical visit of what I have experienced at this property before... The room was not clean and kind of gross (the carpets were wet and smelled very bad). I reported the problems to the operator as well as the manager on duty, but no one really seemed to care. Palazzo has always been rather indifferent to Platinum Rewards Members, but a little compassion for a straight up dirty room would be appreciated.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Kathryn1 Repeat customer
We are repeated customers at the Palazzo which is a great hotel. This time we stayed for 3 nights (Dec 27-30) and were given a nice suite with a great view of the Strip. We dined at the Buchon, Canaleto and Postrio Bar & Grill - all served excellent food as with our previous trips to the hotel. We were, however, denied a late checkout and were told by the front desk that Platinum Ambassadors were not guaranteed a late 2pm checkout, and we thought that we would be entitled to 4pm checkout! This is a good lesson for me - never take anything for granted and is the first time that we have been denied a late check out in my 14 years experience as a member of the Intercontinental Hotel chain.

Travelers World RV Resort

Good park, except way too pet friendly, constant dog barking and sirens of every type. Clean campground, golfing ok, pool and hot tub very good.
Benson, Arizona
Butterfield RV Resort & Observatory
[ 9/10 ]
Great campground EXCEPT for the constant loud obnoxious trains. They are less then 1000 feet away and go all day and mostly all night. Other than that it would be excellent. Good clubhouse, good facilities etc.
Corpus Christi, Texas
Colonia del Rey RV Park
[ 2/10 ]
This is the most crowded RV park we have been in. Forget about putting out your awnings. Very unfriendly park, mostly permanent residents, unsightly rigs and campers. Not close to much and very noisy due to traffic. Definitely not as advertised, if you read their website it must have been written by the owner. Have been RVing since 2007 and would never come back here. Much nicer parks around.

- Get it while you can!Review by Tiffany
- I just bought 10 of these for my wedding in April. Buying them here is so much economical than renting. My only complaint is waiting so long for them to come into stock but it is definitely worth the wait if you are able to. Can't wait to use them at the wedding!! (Posted on 11/25/13)
- Excited to use!Review by BARBARA
- Bought 5 of these for my daughters wedding to check out the quality and color. Love them! We are excited to have the primary colors for the wedding with navy blue for the tablecloths. Only bad thing about this product is how popular it is! Need to purchase more since we liked them and want to use them - now we wait till they are back in stock. Beautiful. (Posted on 8/12/13)
- Wonderful ProductReview by Tonya
- I purchased 60 of these tablecloths for my daughter's wedding; The quality was exceptional and they looked very elegant with the pink and white flowers used in the centerpieces. I washed and dried them myself and used them at my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary Party using gold accents this time. Once again they looked wonderful. I have another daughter getting married at the end of September and I am hoping that the color she has chosen will be back in stock in the next few days so that I can place the order for her wedding. Wouldn't think of getting the linens from anywhere else! (Posted on 8/29/12)
- Quality product, but dirtyReview by Anna
- I got 8 of these for my wedding, and was very pleased with the color and quality of the material. However, 7 out of 8 of these were dirty with stains and visible food residue. Everything came clean, but still...dirty used tablecloths being sold as "new" in sealed plastic bags was very disappointing. (Posted on 8/26/12)
- Worth the wait!Review by Heidi
- I wanted to do a navy theme for my wedding and these tableclothes were out of stock, I set an alert for when they came in stock. It was worth the wait. So pleased with the colors, and less than half the price of renting from my local vendor. Once they came in stock, they shipped quickly. (Posted on 6/27/12)

With the ISAF Annual Meeting this week in Athens, Greece to conclude on November 14th, the ISAF Council meeting started this afternoon with ISAF President Goran Petersson setting out the challenges ahead as he delivered his opening address to the ISAF Council members.
The President made special mention of the success to the Youth Olympic Games emphasising what a good show case this had been for sailing and also pointed out the innovative approach that many sports took to show case their sports.
The excellent training work carried out by ISAF this year was highlighted, with special thanks to the Training Commission for getting this up and running.
The President outlined the challenging agenda ahead and the importance to see the ISAF Olympic Event and Equipment submissions in the overall scheme of the Olympic Commission's findings stressing to the council members
'You are now in the position of being able to shape the future of sailing. You have been given the options and you have been given an outline of the issues with the background information. You need to set the policy and the direction for the future.'
The President went on to thank the Olympic Commission for the work they have done and their dedication to the task.

The sacred balance: rediscovering our place in natureThe economy and global competitiveness are the bottom line for society and governments, or so says conventional wisdom. But what are the real needs that must be satisfied to live rich, fulfilling lives? This is the question David Suzuki explores in this wide-ranging study. Suzuki begins by presenting the concept of people as creatures of the Earth who depend on its gifts of air, water, soil, and sun energy. He shows how people are genetically programmed for the company of other species, and suffer enormously when we fail to live in harmony with them. And he analyzes those deep spiritual needs, rooted in nature, that are also a crucial component of a loving world. Drawing on his own experiences and those of others who have put their beliefs into action, "The Sacred Balance" is a powerful, passionate book with concrete suggestions for creating an ecologically sustainable, satisfying, and fair future by rediscovering and addressing humanity' s basic needs. |

Critics such as Aisha Harris of Slate, Carrie Rickey and NPR's Linda Holmes have engaged with A.V. Club writers on Twitter and published alternate lists. I find the lack of women directors on the list surprising considering that during the '90s, many critically acclaimed films and cult following films were directed by women.
The most obvious omission is Amy Heckerling's Clueless. As a woman of a certain age the film left an indelible imprint on my life. Other glaring omissions include Jane Campion's The Piano, Kimberly Peirce's Boys Don't Cry, Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides, Penny Marshall's A League of Their Own and personal cult favorites Jennie Livingston's Paris is Burning and Jamie Babbit's But I'm a Cheerleader.
The A.V. Club published a list of outliers, orphans and personal favorites where Kathryn Bigelow and Jane Campion made the cut.

As a long time reader of this blog (feminist frequency brought me here) , I have to take umbrage at the lack of coverage given to the Atlas Shrugged franchise. Strong women hero, female lead and a topical plot but there seems to be a media blackout?
Hope | October 14, 2012 2:29 AM
C'mon! How about Sleepless in Seattle or You've Got Mail. You have to admit they are mainstream and are likely not to be considered artistic....However both are a commentary on modern times and is a great way to incorporate all the classic films, keep the traditional feel, and if you watch Nora Ephron films, there is a reason why her films are so popular. She is a great cinematographer who used subtle cues and inserted appropriate additions which she used creative license for the overall quality of film/story.
John | October 12, 2012 3:24 PM
The Piano and Boys Don't Cry are definitely two of the top fifty films of the 90's.
Citric | October 12, 2012 2:49 PM
If Clueless is your best example, you've effectively argued that the list was right. Yeah, as a woman of a certain age it was a big part of your youth. Probably the same thing that Wayne's World did for me as a man of a certain age (incidentally, also directed by a woman.) That doesn't make either among the best 50 films of the decade.
When compiling a list such as this, it should be based on quality, and nothing else. The gender of the director is not relevant in any way. Yes, there should be more female directors given a chance, but that doesn't change history, and the 1990s had very few films directed by women which stand up as the best of the decade. Of the films you cited, only The Piano should be a contender for any best of decade list. Even among the goods - A League of their Own is certainly good, Boys Don't Cry as well - there aren't that many greats. Small sample size due to other factors play into that, sure, but to suggest that we need to give women directors a pity entry and try to revise history in order to pretend The Virgin Suicides was one of the best films of the decade is incredibly condescending, sexist, and childish.
Walter | October 12, 2012 1:03 PM
I would definitely like to have "Orlando"(Sally Potter) and "Europa Europa"(Agnieszka Holland) on such a list.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Loss of the Air National Guard's 130th Airlift Wing operation at Charleston's Yeager Airport also could spell an end to commercial air service in West Virginia's capital city, airport Director Rick Atkinson told members of Yeager's governing board Wednesday.
The Air National Guard unit provides 24-hour fire and rescue service free of charge to the airport. Atkinson said it would cost the airport about $1.2 million annually to provide the same level of protection on its own.
By factoring the cost of that service alone into the airport's annual operating expenditures, landing fees at Yeager would nearly double, rising from the current rate of $3.67 per thousand pounds to $6.33 per thousand pounds to cover the added expense, Atkinson said.
"If we had a landing fee in the $6 to $7 range, there wouldn't be an airline flying here," Atkinson told board members.
Loss of free fire protection also would boost the passenger terminal's office and commercial space lease rate by more than $7 per square foot, Atkinson said.
Last month, airport board member Allen Tackett, the state's former National Guard adjutant general, asked Atkinson to present a financial analysis during the June board meeting on the effects the possible closure of the Charleston Air National Guard base would have on Yeager Airport.
Tackett is spearheading an effort to come up with the $7 million to $9 million needed to build a bridge across the Elk River to make possible a new, secure access road to the 130th Airlift Wing's headquarters building and the West Virginia National Guard headquarters complex.
The road would be public as it crosses through Coonskin Park from a new entrance provided by the bridge, planned for a site near the Mink Shoals exit of Interstate 79. However, the road would be gated and access-controlled as it entered National Guard property. Coonskin Drive, the existing road to the military complex and Coonskin Park, would be closed at the point where it reaches Air National Guard property.
Last year, funding for the bridge and access road was dropped from the federal defense budget.
During Base Realignment and Closure Commission hearings in 2005, the use of an uncontrolled public road -- Coonskin Drive -- as the main access route to 130th Airlift Wing was cited as a security deficiency, Tackett said. He said it is the only deficiency cited by BRACC that hasn't since been rectified.
With the Department of Defense now asking Congress for another round of BRACC hearings while also planning to reduce its inventory of C-130 Hercules transport planes -- the aircraft flown by the 130th Airlift Wing -- state military officials worry that the Air Guard unit might be targeted for closure again.
"Loss of this base would be devastating to West Virginia, not just this airport," Tackett said. With 370 full-time and 1,100 part-time employees, the 130th pumps $89 million annually into the state's economy, he said.

You have more time than you think -- really
- 2 Comments |
- E-mail |
My to-do list is seven pages long. I have laundry I haven't washed since 2008, e-mails I haven't answered since 2007, and stories I started writing in 2006 and have yet to finish. If anyone's guilty of thinking she doesn't enough time in the week, it's me. That's why I was thrilled to discover journalist Laura Vanderkam's new book, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, which promises to discuss "where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better." Vanderkam was kind enough to answer my questions via e-chat this month. Here's what she had to say.
Q. Your book asks people to track their time for a week to see where it goes. What can they expect to find?
A. Most of us spend our hours pretty mindlessly. What people usually discover is that even if they're working pretty long hours, they still have open spaces of time that they could be using for those activities that they've been telling themselves they don't have time for: reading, exercising, really playing with their kids. [Note: You can download a free time-tracking spreadsheet from My168Hours.com.]
Q. You also ask people to write a bucket list, which you call a List of 100 Dreams. What surprises might they find here?
A. Thinking of a list of 100 things you'd like to do or have is harder than it sounds. Even if you include things you've already done, like having kids or living in a certain city, you may be stumped and have to come back to this project several times. You may discover that your desires are both vast (win a Nobel Prize) and small (keep a nice stash of Trader Joe's dark chocolate covered caramels readily accessible).
Q. How can this list help people use the 168 hours they have each week more effectively?
A. Many people don't use their time well because they don't know what they want to be doing with it. Having such a list helps two ways. First, it helps you figure out what activities would bring joy to your life. Second, you may learn that certain items have no business being on the official List. We all have something we've told ourselves we'd love to do, if only we had time. Caroline Ceniza-Levine, the career coach who suggested this exercise to me, used to tell herself she'd love to sew. She spent lots of her spare time looking through craft magazines. Finally, she got around to taking a sewing class -- and discovered she hated it. That's now mental energy freed up for other things.
Q. Many of us spend too much time communing with our TV, computer, and smartphone. How else do we fritter away our precious downtime?
A. The biggest way we fritter away precious downtime is by not being aware it exists. If the carpool is 20 minutes late bringing your kids home from soccer practice, that's free time. If you're on hold for 20 minutes, that can also be free time. We can choose to use this time deliberately for what I call bits of joy. Have that novel you've been dying to read on hand. Keep a notebook around and record your musings, or use that time to pray or meditate. All of these activities are more meaningful than checking your iPhone for the twentieth time. We also fritter away our free time by sticking stuff in the middle of it. On weekends, try to approach housework, shopping, and errands in a more consolidated and less haphazard manner so you maintain open time to relax.
Q. You suggest that people who claim "If only I had 15 more minutes a day, I'd get in shape/write a novel/take my kid to the park" are probably kidding themselves. Why is this?
A. Let's look at the math: If you work 40 hours a week and sleep 56 (8 hours a night), that leaves you with 72 hours a week to do other things. This is a lot of time! Why would you need an extra 15 minutes a day (or 1 hour and 45 minutes a week), when you could more carefully reconfigure the time you already have? If you're not living the life you want in 72 hours per week, I don't think having 73.75 is going to change anything.
Q. Does all this go out the window when you become a parent?
A. Not necessarily. When I was a new mom, people kept telling me that there just wasn't enough time to build a big career and a big family. I set out to write about this time crunch, but as I started talking to people with full professional and personal lives, I learned that many of them didn't feel that pressed for time at all. Becoming a parent is obviously a transition, and if you weren't good at managing your time before, it's not going to get easier when you throw a bunch of little people into the mix.

Smalltimore in Sarasota

On the way home from the Ft Leavenworth Militaria Show in Kansas, I stopped at a few antique shops in Missouri. Over the years, I have had good luck in Missouri and many of my scores have been at the W.D. Pickers Antique Mall located in Platte City, MO (www.wdpickers.com).
Although Pickers is technically a consignment mall, it is notches above franchise chains like The Brass Armadillo. Pickers is the best of both worlds because it has the quaintness and charm of a small shop, coupled with a large quantity of antiques and collectibles. When I walk down the isles, I do not get the impression that the inventory is picked over junk that has been collecting dust for a decade on a dealer's shelf. I've watched numerous malls turn into ghost towns, but Pickers is like a time capsule to pre-ebay days.
Once again, Pickers did not disappoint me. I collect Arts and Crafts pottery in matte green glazes, and I was fortunate to find another unmarked piece of Zanesville. It has a beautiful shape with no condition issues (outside of the factory). Even though the type of Zanesville I enjoy collecting is not technically "art pottery", it has personality and humanness in the form of glaze pops and runs, as well as color variations because the glazes were hand applied. Today, mass production does not tolerate "defects" like this.
Pickers has something for everyone. I included images of items that caught my eye for one reason or another. I hope you enjoy viewing them and consider visiting this shop if you are ever in the area.

Pacific Stars & Stripes

Tens of thousands of students returned to U.S. Department of Defense schools overseas Monday, many waking up earlier than they had in months to return to an age-old routine that at least some were happy to revive. (Full article accessible by clicking the "Pacific Stars & Stripes" link above.)
