Enjoyed Valentine's Day dinner
with esposa here. We made reservations to time our meal with the sunset. Ambiance is nice, quiet, romantic. Staff were very attentive. Great view! Prix fixe three-course offering. Esposa went with the salad and I with the squash soup. Round 1: I won! The soup was thick, creamy, tasty, w/ hint of curry spice. Round 2: Ribeye on a bed of perfectly cooked mashed potatoes and greens. Both steaks perfectly charred outside and juicy inside, lacking a bit in flavor (not salty enough). Round 3: Dessert. Delicious dense cake with fruit and chocolate gelato. Each course perfectly paired with wine. Server slowed pace at my request for a leisurely meal. Manager checked on things more than once. Overall: GREAT."

I was presented with a
long-stemmed rose upon arrival on Valentine's Day. Service was excellent. We had a beautiful view of the sunset. I was surprised it was not more crowded. '"

The ambiance and service were
excellent as usual. However the menu lacked sophistication. Most restaurants were offering 4 courses.. The 3 courses @ Francescas just didn't merit the $65 charge. The chef's amuse was a nickle sized piece of watermelon with a drop of tasteless foam on top (cheap and lazy). Dessert was so bland and boring, and the butter cake was also incredibly dry... Just not worth the calories... This was our 3rd and last Vday visit to Francescas... There are just too many great and inventive restaurants in SA to keep settling for mediocre, regardless of of the great atmosphere."

We enjoyed our pre fixe dinner
with accompanying wines. Nice selections. Delicious food."

Good ambiance. Taste of food
excellent. I was a little disappointed with portion of lamb rack, very small. Wait staff was very attentive and cordial. The restaurant even took note that it was my spouse's birthday and served a small German Chocolate cake, very thoughtful. To their credit, the manger only charged me for half the rack of lamb as the portion size was half the normal order."

It was our 34th wedding aniversary
so I wanted every thing to be special and it was. I had flowers delivered and they were on our table when we arrived. Nothing was rushed and we enjoyed an excelent bottle of wine as we watched a beautiful sunset from our table. The salad was perfect as was our dinner and every thing was brought out with perfect timing so as not to rush us. We really appreciated the complimentary desert and as with the rest of the meal was delicious. I really want to compliment the wait staff and thier care in making this a trully enjoyable evening. I highly recommend Francesca's and will definitly will be returning for dinner soon."

I had planned dinner for friends
visiting from Barcelona, and wanted this to be a special evening. The setting in the restaurant is upscale, with a quiet ambience for easy, relaxed conversation. My request for a table along the windows, overlooking the hillsides was honored, making for a pleasing visual treat. The wait staff were prompt and completely attentive throughout the evening. Dinner was delicious; I would recommend the swordfish or the redfish. In summary, the evening was just terrific. I would highly recommend this restaurant!"

The staff was amazing. If I could
give them more than five stars I would. The food was superb! Loved everything about this restaurant!!! Can't wait to come back!"

We reserved a table for NYE and
were not disappointed. Even though it was already dark out, the views are spectacular and not a bad seat in the place for outside viewing. The service was excellent, and the food expertly prepared and plated. We enjoyed the entire meal and will be back."

Food was wonderful. Needed more
scallops on the appetizer because it was sooo good. Staff very friendly and told the saddest story of Francesca. Still want to cry but thinking of the chocolate cheesecake..I feel better. WOW! Loved every bit of the evening but still sad about Francesca."
Dined on 12/30/2013
Enjoyed the evening but did not
think it was that special. Could not use valet service since the welcome area was totally packed with new arrivals checking into the hotel. Was not able to take advantage of the sunset view as reservations were after dark."

My wife and I went to Francesca's
for our anniversary dinner. The waiter was very professional and provided great service. Food was excellent: my wife enjoyed a steak, while I had a seafood entree. While we are not yet 'sophisticated' wine drinkers, the wine list was extensive and impressive. We had an enjoyable experience."
Dined on 12/4/2013
Very nice place with great view of
San Antonio. Food was great though portions of meat were a bit big for us. She ordered the duck breast and it was 2.5 to 3 breasts. I had venison and it was two very big pieces of leg loin. Only complaint was a lack of veggies on the entree. Recommend ordering "enhancements" if you want sides of veggies or salad. Wine list was great with some really good selections from Texas. Wait staff was very knowledgable of the menu and wine list. Wait staff was also very attentive and greeted us based upon our special occasion. We will definitely be going back."

Thanksgiving day dinner...just
perfect. Looking for an upscale restaurant for that special occasion, well look no further. My table was overlooking the golf course, and as it is the holiday season, the trees outside the windows were elegantly lit with Christmas illumination. Ambience is quiet, with well appointed décor. Service left nothing to be desired, and the food..just excellent. I would recommend the redfish as my favorite entrée, paired with an excellent, though uncelebrated pinot grigio: Bollini Trentino! This was to be a special Thanksgiving dinner, and I was looking for a restaurant to complete a special holiday event. I couldn't have been happier with this restaurant! Enjoy!!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
We had a lovely time at
Francesca's for Thanksgiving dinner. We enjoyed the chef's special dinner included turkey, veggies, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. We asked for the dinners without the turkey (semi-vegetarian) and the waiter made the extra effort of asking if we wanted to change our order because the stuffing had chicken stock. We didn't and it was delicious! They also didn't not charge us the dinner price - but only for the sides - so it was not only wonderful - it was inexpensive to boot. I will be happy to dine here again!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
My wife picked out this restaurant
after reading on the net, they had a foie gras. They didn't. For apetizer we shared the scalops( excellent) and the tuna tartar that was ok, but had little fish in at. The duck breast, the rack of lamb and the tenderloin were very good, the mahi mahi too salty. The overly busy, fast talking waiter did his best, but at the end when we got the unimpresive desert menu and wanted to get some cognac or other digestive, he was elswhere. When he finaly showed up, we decided to just get the check. I think, for the money, you can do beter elswhere."

San Antonio is blessed with so
many fine restaurants, it is hard to choose one for a special occasion. But, for my wife's Birthday, we picked Francesca's, both for the sunset view and elegant food. We were not disappointed. Quiet dining with superb service, locally sourced and perfectly prepared food for all tastes, wide variety of wines (including an unbelievable Dom Perignon by the glass special), and, of course, chocolate! Our servers were attentive but not obtrusive, and the Westin venue exudes excellence at every level. We'll be back."
Dined on 11/3/2013
Francesca's is our "Place" for
special occasions. We celebrated a birthday and anniversary with friends and as usual, EVERYTHING was wonderful although there was some delay in the waiter taking our order. Other than that, the food, service and ambience are all about as good as it gets in the San Antonio area."
Dined on 11/1/2013
Both of the meat dishes were
tender and juicy, the venison and the duck, although the duck was not seared as hot as requested. The wine, an old vine tempranillo, was spectacular. The service was professional and friendly. The service was very professional and friendly."
Dined on 11/1/2013
My wife and I were staying at the
Westin La Cantera for our anniversary and wanted something easy. So we opted to eat in the hotel at Francesca's. First of all, the food was off the chart -- really exceptional. Second, our server (Jeremy) was truly outstanding. We lived in NYC for more than 12 years and I'd like to think we've been exposed to some of the best restaurants and servers anywhere, yet Jeremy stood out to both my wife and me. He was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience without "smothering" us. The restaurant itself could probably use a "face lift", but don't change the food and DEFINITELY don't let Jeremy get away!"
Dined on 10/21/2013
Celebrated our anniversary at the
restaurant. It is in a hotel, so there are hotel patrons that also dine here. During our visit, there was a family with kids there so it wasn't as romantic as I had hoped. Also, the music they played was a bit loud and not very romantic either. It was like new age jazz that was heavy paced and loud. Service was outstanding and they were on top of things. The food was tasty and priced just right. I would love to go back except for the fact that you may be sharing the dining space with kids in what one would hope to be a quite romantic getaway."

This was a fabulous place to dine.
I would recommend the restaurant to anyone celebrating a special occasion. I took my granddaughter who turned 18 and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Afterwards we took pictures around the hotel that turned out beautiful because of the courtyard's natural landscape. I'll definitely be back with my husband!"

My birthday celebration with with
husband and friends could not have been better! The service, company food, wine and view were all first class!"
Dined on 10/4/2013
Nice is the best way to describe
the experience - food was good but not "great" - atmosphere n service both good. Table next to us with small kids a little noisy but that happens. I would visit again if staying at hotel due to convenience, but not travel out of the way to eat here given the price, overall value & other area options."
Dined on 9/23/2013
We really enjoy
Francesca's..definitely a 4-5x a year spot for times when it is just my wife and I. Food and service always very good, and the scenery is really hard to beat. I do think that a couple years ago Francesca's was one of the top restaurants in San Antonio; however, San Antonio's culinary scene has really evolved and they have plenty of great competition out there. Still can't beat the view though!"
Dined on 9/22/2013
Two words - lobster enchiladas.
They are no longer on the menu and it's my wife's favorite. Too bad for us, right? Wrong. I called a few days in advance just to ask if they still had them. The woman that took my call said no but that she would check with the executive chef anyways and get back to me the following day. Not only did I receive a call-back but I received it just 1 hour later. Unfortunately it was with bad news, no lobster enchiladas. We arrive for our reservations yesterday expecting to order something different off the menu, when we are seated the gentleman tells us that they "found us some lobster enchiladas, just for us!!". My wife was ecstatic and of course so was I."

If you are looking for a romantic
spot with great food and fantastic service, then Franseca's at Sunset is the place!"
Dined on 9/8/2013
The negative was getting there at
a time to watch the sunset. Then denied the view by the hostess refusing to allow us to move even after we said ALL we got to see was a wall.. There was other three tables open with a direct view of the sunset that we're the same size as the table she said we had to take. She sat down three other couples at those tables. One couple didn't even have a reservation and got to watch the sunset. So much for our 26 year anniversary romantic dinner watching the sunset. The fact is the hostess simply didn't care about customer service just sit we're I say so I can go back to front."
Dined on 9/7/2013
Perhaps my expectations were too
high, but the sunset could not be seen because of drawn shades, and the food was not in keeping with a restaurant billed as being for a foodie. One of our party ordered the special - filet with a chili crust. Unfortunately it was over cooked and dried out except for the very middle. The taste was more pot-roast than filet. The Lamb was good, as were the salads. I could not recommend Francesca's to a friend."
Dined on 9/2/2013
The location is nice, and the
views at sunset are beautiful. The appetizers we shared were the chilled soup and the scallops. The scallops were really wonderful. The first few bites of the avocado/cucumber soup were refreshing, but didn't entice us to eat the whole thing. The Mahi Mahi dinner entree was slightly undercooked and was sitting on pureed vegetables in squid ink, which unfortunately made it just black, like it was sitting on motor oil. The taste was great if you shut your eyes. My husband had the venison, and it was very good. Water refill didn't happen as frequently as it should have. Also would have been nice to have a non-cheesecake chocolate dessert. The lemon dessert was somewhat bitter and left a strong pine-nut aftertaste."
Dined on 9/2/2013
A romantic dinner while watching
the sun set over the hill country. The food was great and the service was excellent. It's a bit pricey, not as expensive as a high end steakhouse but very worth the convenience if staying at the hotel or looking for an evening out with your loved one. This was the second time we've been and I would definitely recommend their beef tenderloin and the rack of lamb is a must here. Will be coming back again!"
Dined on 9/1/2013
Six of us went to our neighborhood
favorite at 6 PM and were informed they were booked solid until 8:30. Open Table to the rescue! We had all dined at The Creek over the years, but it is 9 miles away and not at the top of our minds. Reservations were accepted immediately and we drove there. We were greeted by name, offered margaritas, and shown to our table. The Wine List is enviable, the seafood fresh and the veggies crisp. We will be back."
Dined on 8/22/2013
This was our third time eating at
Francesca's at Sunset, and, as was the case the other times, our dinner was outstanding! The food was delicious, with interesting selections for all tastes. Our servers, Jeremy and Karl, were very attentive without being overbearing. And the view of the foot hills north of San Antonio is hard to beat."
Dined on 8/6/2013
This is an excellent restaurant
overall with a great menu and very pleasant view. However due to lots of Six Flags family guests we ended up with a screaming kid 2 tables over. This distracts from the upscale dining ambiance."
Dined on 8/2/2013
We've been there three times and
every time we're impressed. The ambiance is so calm and peaceful. As soon as we walked through the door it feels like life just slows down (much needed for a mom and dad of three constantly running around) the service is amazing but the food is the best!!! This is by far our favorite restaurant."

This is a beautiful park on a pretty lake. The bathrooms are horrible. There are two toilets (one broken), one shower for the entire campground without sewer hookups. The facility is very old and should be replaced. There are other open air bathrooms. It is too bad as the park is pretty, sites are level and huge. Many sites with views of the lake. Don't plan on using the facilities.

I rate this campground a 3 because of the bathhouse. It is terrible. It was filthy when we tried to use it, along with the other open air bathrooms. All should be replaced. The sites are huge and great views of the lake. Too bad the bathrooms are so poor.

JACKSONVILLE – What We Learned from the early part of this week as the Jacksonville Jaguars wrapped up the 2013 regular season…
1. Maurice Jones-Drew likely will be a free agent. This was the headline-grabber, with General Manager David Caldwell saying in a season-ending press conference Tuesday morning Jones-Drew likely will be allowed to test unrestricted free agency. Caldwell said he's not pessimistic that the three-time Pro Bowl selection could return, but as Jones-Drew said Monday, "It's a monetary issue." If Jones-Drew gets more elsewhere, he'll go elsewhere. If he doesn't, he probably will come back. It's pretty straightforward.
2. Ideally, Jones-Drew would like to be back. This doesn't mean it will work out financially. Jones-Drew, as always, was up front Monday that that will be the major factor in his decision. But would he like to play here? Does he like what Head Coach Gus Bradley and Caldwell are building? Without question. He has been consistent on that front throughout the second half of the season and remained so Monday when speaking to the media. "You have to go through some tough times to respect winning and respect victories," he said. "To do that, you have to lose and we did that this year. We understand what it takes to win now and we just have to keep going from there."
3. Paul Posluszny will be back … Caldwell said so Tuesday. The veteran middle linebacker is scheduled to make about $7.5 million next season and count $9.5 million against the cap. Those are big numbers, but Posluszny is a reliable force who means a lot to the defense. His value is worth the expense.
4…. And so will Marcedes Lewis. Caldwell said this was likely as well. There was speculation throughout the season that the veteran tight end wouldn't return next season – mostly because, like Posluszny, he carries a high salary ($8.25 million) and cap number ($6.7). But Lewis' skill set is difficult to replace, and offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch said Lewis can be critical to the passing game as well as the running game next season. Look for him to be a focal point.
5. The secondary is seen as a strength … The Jaguars started three rookies in the secondary much of the season, including safety Johnathan Cyprien and cornerback Dwayne Gratz, with the latter missing six games with ankle injuries. Rookie
6….and tackle could be, too. Caldwell said he liked how rookie left tackle Luke Joeckel was progressing early before a Week Five fractured ankle, and Austin Pasztor played well enough at right tackle that drafting that position may not be necessary. This may be an area that stays the same in the offseason.
7. Joeckel expects to be ready for the offseason. The rookie No. 2 overall selection got out of the walking book this week.He will continue rehabilitating, but said his hope is to participate when the offseason begins in April.
8. The coaching staff will remain intact. Bradley confirmed this Tuesday. He said he feels continuity is valuable. That doesn't mean no coaches will leave on their own, but it's not expected.
9. The Jaguars might not draft a quarterback. OK, this really isn't all *that* likely, but when Caldwell said Tuesday he couldn't guarantee the Jaguars would draft a quarterback, he did so with a reason. The Jaguars still must evaluate the quarterback class and decide if there's one worth the No. 3 selection. If you take one there, he has to be The Guy – not a guy. Caldwell said he would pass on the position if there's not one there worth taking, and there's no reason to think he was being dishonest. If Caldwell doesn't think a quarterback is worth No. 3, he owes it to the franchise not to select one.
10. Chad Henne is an offseason priority. Caldwell said there's a possibility Henne will be re-signed before free agency begins. The veteran improved in the second half of the season and would be a quality backup if – as is still likely – the Jaguars select a quarterback early in the draft. Henne has said he believes the fit in Jacksonville is a good one, so a Henne return seems pretty possible.
11. The Jaguars want Blaine Gabbert back. Caldwell and Bradley each said so during the Tuesday press conference. It seems unlikely Henne, Gabbert and a rookie quarterback would be around come training camp, but for now, it seems Gabbert has a very real chance to be with the Jaguars when the offseason program begins – and perhaps longer.
12. Jason Babin wants to be back. The 10-year veteran defensive end said Monday he wants to return and that he has told Caldwell and Bradley as much. He can exercise a clause in his contract to become a free agent, but said he would be open to reaching a deal to return. "It's hard to express sometimes to people on the outside looking in is how great it is here, and what's being built – and what a privilege it is to be a part of the foundation, setting those early bricks," he said.
13. Cecil Shorts III expects to be healthy for the offseason. The third-year veteran wide receiver underwent sports hernia surgery two weeks ago. He said on Monday he feels better now than before the surgery. He is expected to be able to begin workout in six weeks and he said it's his goal to participate in the offseason program.
14. Interior offensive line likely will be an offseason focus.Caldwell said he believes the running game can be improved in the offseason, and he said the interior of the offensive line is an area that can be addressed in the middle rounds of the draft and in free agency. Look for this to be a priority.

Car hits Cane Bay Middle student on bike
A Cane Bay Middle School student was sent to the hospital on Oct. 24 after his bicycle ran into the roadway on U.S.-176 and the student was struck by a car, according to officials.
The student was traveling east on U.S.-176 at about 7:30 a.m. when the incident occurred, according to S.C. Highway Patrol Sr. Trooper Bridget Wyant.
The student drifted into the road and into the passenger side of the 2001 Lincoln. The driver is not at fault. The driver attempted to swerve away from the student but he kept drifting into the road until he hit the car, Wyant said.
He was transported to Trident Hospital.
Berkeley County School District Pubic Information Officer Susan Haire said the student was in the vicinity of the Cane Bay schools but not on school grounds.
The student was conscious and responsive immediately following the incident, Haire said. EMS was called to the scene and the child was transported to the hospital where a school administrator met with the parent.

Washington, DC - 08/11/2010 - Eleni Constantine, director of the Pew Health Group's financial security portfolio, issued the following statement in support of legislation creating an "automatic IRA," S. 3760, introduced by Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and H.R. 6099, introduced by Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA). Under these bills, employees who do not have a 401(k) plan with their present employer would be enrolled in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) unless they decide to opt out. The research and analysis of Pew's grantee, the Retirement Security Project, identified the automatic IRA as a key solution to the gap in Americans' retirement savings."We applaud Senator Bingaman and Congressman Neal for their leadership in introducing this important legislation. These bills represent a significant move towards strengthening retirement security for workers across the nation. An automatic IRA can provide a simple, low-cost way for working Americans, even those without 401(k) plans, to save for retirement. By combining two familiar and well-tested savings vehicles, the IRA savings account and the opt-out model of the 401(k) savings plan, the passage of this legislation will vastly increase access to retirement savings programs."Roughly half of all working Americans (78 million people) are employed by companies that offer no retirement plan. The Auto IRA will allow 90 percent of all employees the opportunity to save for retirement through tax-deferred payroll deductions, substantially increasing their savings capacity, according to the Retirement Security Project."The concept of automatic IRA has repeatedly received bipartisan backing – now is the time for both parties to again put their support behind this common-sense proposal and provide access to retirement savings for millions of Americans."Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information visit the Retirement Security Project on PewHealth.org.

Liberty's football program joined the Big South in 2002 and has won four of the past five conference titles. But a commencement day declaration has the Flames ready for a milestone move.
In front of thousands of graduates and onlookers Saturday, Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. took the next step for Liberty.
"It is my priviledge to formally announce today Liberty's intention to move our football program to the Football Bowl Subdivision, or FBS, level," Falwell declared.
At a press conference Monday, school officials said Liberty has been in contact with a number of FBS conferences, not including the "Big Six" automatic qualifying conferences. Liberty will now await a membership offer for its 20 athletic teams.
"The NCAA gives you a deadline to reclasify June the 1st. You have to have a post-marked envelope by May the 25th," athletic director Jeff Barber said. "Certainly as that time frame is approaching we wanted to make sure that all the conferences out there, the FBS conferences, were aware that we were ready to move right now and we are ready to go."
Bill Carr, whose sports consulting group conducted the research, said Liberty is uniquely prepared to make the jump thanks to recent facilities upgrades and the schools financial security.
"There has been no [FCS] school more prepared for its major athletics initiative than Liberty," says Carr. "Liberty is prepared in every sense of the word."
The football team is the only program not currently competing at the highest level of Division I. Officials say first-year head coach Turner Gill, with his background at Buffalo and Kansas, is the man for the job to usher Liberty into this next phase.
"I do not think he would be here if he thought we were destined to be FCS," said Barber. "That's not why he came here."
Barber said the school has acted with purpose and boldness, traits on full display Monday.
"I'm here to tell you that we're here to win the national championship in every 20 sports that we have," Barber continued. "We're not doing this just to compete. We're here to win and we're here to win at the highest level."
As the waiting game begins, Falwell said the athletic department hopes to upgrade Williams Stadium after the 2012 season. Renovations will include expanded seating on the away side of the field.

Abstract: | These files are created by taking the outgoing rotation group from each month of the Current Population Survey (CPS). The end result is a large yearly file of the basic CPS questions (employment status, occupation, income, marital status, etc.). The main virtue of this file is that is has roughly three times as many observations as the widely used March CPS. Another advantage is that the usual weekly data have current pay and current characteristics whereas the March survey links last year's earnings to current characteristics. These files are available from 1979 on. |

Nine games remain in the regular season. Heading into this week's game against Miami, the Broncos lead the AFC West by a game-and-a-half. They are in first place but they haven't consistently played like a first place team.
It doesn't take a football genius to figure out where the Broncos need to improve:
–RUSH DEFENSE. Opponents are averaging 154.6 rushing yards per game against the Broncos. That is simply too many. If a team doesn't stop the run on a regular basis, that team will not have success.
Check out the running backs the Broncos still have to face, assuming they all stay healthy: Ronnie Brown/Ricky Williams (Dolphins), Jamal Lewis (Browns), DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart (Panthers), Michael Turner (Falcons), Thomas Jones (Jets) and LaDainian Tomlinson (Chargers). Wow. And that's to say nothing about possibly going against Larry Johnson (Chiefs) if he gets his off-field issues ironed out.
–TURNOVERS. The Broncos have committed 12 turnovers in their three losses. When they aren't being generous, the Broncos have shown the ability to move the ball and score points.
–STEPPING UP. Cornerback Champ Bailey is out for at least a month. Linebacker Boss Bailey is done for the year. Tight end Tony Scheffler and running back Selvin Young have missed games, as has wide receiver Brandon Stokley. Young defensive linemen Marcus Thomas, Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder are still trying to find their way.
The fact is that a team usually isn't able to find impact players off the street during the season. That means guys on the roster have to improve.
It usually takes defensive linemen time to develop. The Broncos have to hope the learning curve is short for those guys.
Can a young player like running back Ryan Torain give a boost to the running game? He was on the fast track to the starting spot before getting hurt in the preseason. A more productive running game could go a long ways towards helping the defense, not to mention the prospect of scoring more points.
With nine games left, the Broncos have four at home (Miami, Oakland, Kansas City and Buffalo) and five on the road (Cleveland, Carolina, Atlanta, NY Jets and San Diego). That group of games looks a lot tougher now than it did before the season began.
The fact is that the Broncos are atop the division even though they have had their share of problems. I will be interested to see what transpires over the next couple of months.
What are your thoughts about the final nine games of the season? Will the Broncos shore up their weak areas and hold on in the AFC West?
Thanks for reading and offering your thoughts.

Dear All,
I have an issue i cannot seem to understand :
A PDF rendered from indesign with high quality images does (really) not display the same on iPad than on Desktop monitors (apple 27'', LG 24'' or standard lcd 19'').
You can find a test here : db.tt/J8oNwC1 (1.9Mb)
Check these pages both on your pad and your monitor, and you'll find the contrast is much higher, the image much darker on the pad.
Obviously when color, tone, contrast and light is of importance, this is a real issue.
Could anyone advise me on a specific way to prepare the document from Indesign to get a high end rendering ?
Export was done in RVB 150Dpi following usual scheme.
Thanks a lot !
Best regards

Tennessee lawmakers are a few curlicues away from requiring all public school kids to learn how to read and write in cursive.
I've been thinking about America as the "land of opportunity" quite a bit lately. Whether I've been on the treadmill, in the shower or driving around town, my mind keeps going back to that topic — probably more often than is healthy.
Last week, a few mayors and Tennessee state legislators, a group of think tank leaders and a contingent of press met in a room at Tennessee's Legislative Plaza to mark the "beginning of the end of Tennessee's income tax."
In its short 20 years of operations, the Brainerd Mission played an important role in influencing future Cherokee leaders and the history of our region.
Two years ago, more than 300 Chattanoogans lost their homes and walked into an uncertain future. It was 2012, and the Chattanooga Housing Authority (CHA) had just closed the Harriet Tubman housing development.
The foregone conclusion from America's clamoring political class is that Hillary Clinton will be crowned the Democrat nominee for president in 2016.
When we're angry or frustrated, sometimes the wrong words tumble out. We say things we really don't mean.
Last month, in one of the most closely watched National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) elections in decades, workers voted by the narrowest of margins to reject representation by the United Auto Workers (UAW).
I recently ran the Scenic City Half-Marathon, a first-class event. Unfortunately, I missed my goal of running a 7:30 (minutes-per-mile) pace and ended up at 8:40. Suppose I decide that my pace wasn't fair because of my age, the cold I had, my lack of time to train, etc.
Let's say you work at Erlanger hospital. Maybe you're a technician, or a nurse. And you love your job.
In recent remarks, President Barack Obama declared he would work around the U.S. Constitution — the supreme law of the land — to "get things done" by avoiding the U.S. Congress.
One of the most significant moments in local politics is unfolding smack-dab before us.
The judge asked me what he could do beyond the mandatory 24-hour sentence to prevent my arrestee from driving while impaired again.

Paul Smiths, NY, Feb 07, 2013 — During the last Ice Age North America was home to many varieties of "super-sized" mammals, megafauna.

Judge to rule next week on Dems' injunction motion
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A Richmond judge says she will rule next week on Democrats' request for a preliminary injunction to stop Republicans from taking a controlling majority in the evenly divided Virginia Senate.
Circuit Judge Beverly Snukals took the matter under advisement Friday after hearing arguments from attorneys for Democratic state Sen. Donald McEachin and Republican Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, who presides over the Senate.
McEachin has filed a lawsuit asking the court to prevent Bolling from casting the decisive 21st vote in favor of the GOP when the 40-member Senate organizes next month. Democrats claim the Virginia Constitution bars Bolling from voting on internal rules and organizational issues, as well as some types of legislation. They want a power-sharing arrangement.
The issue must be resolved quickly. The General Assembly convenes in January.

Strike King® KVD Perfect Plastics Game Hawg
- Little, supple, totally natural build
- 6 appendages
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 33
Rated 4 out of 5 Nearly Perfect
To be completely honest, I first bought this bait because I thought it looked alright. I'd never used any other Strike King products from the KVD line up. In the end though, I could hardly have made a better choice. The first time I ever dropped it in the water (side of shallow dock just to test the action) I had a nice rockbass hit it the second it hit the surface. I proceded to use it in a texas rig on the edge of a rocky shore drop off and was astonished by the effectiveness of it. After the first hour and a half i'd landed 2 pike, 5 largemouth, and a 18 inch smallie. Unfortunately, at this point, I only had one bait left in the package. The action and scent of this bait are perfect but the durability brings it down. When using these, the last thing you want is for your fish to jump because, chances are, the Game Hawg will fly away. I've been buying this product for a year now and I'm never disapointed whether I'm jigging it through lily pads, clear or murky waters, or water of any depth. Because of the success I had with this product I also explored the rest of the KVD lineup and have caught several fish on every single bait. I'm not sure why the fish like these so much more than everything else, but I'm happy just knowing that they have what it takes to catch me the fish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bass69man King of the C-Rig
When its time to Carolina Rig, this is my go to bait. Works great Texas rigged too, but when I need a fish, my C-Rig comes out with this bait on the end. Bama bug rules no matter what color the water.
July 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TSMF great bait, not sturdy
I have these guys in the green pumpkin, and they have great action. Lots of movement and nice sink rate. The only problem which is both major and minor is that they tear pretty easily. After only 1 fish my bait was done. The up side is that they can make an excellent trailer. If you're looking for a sturdy bait go else where. This bait does get the fish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SJKBFCMember Muddy Water Bait
Recently fished in club tournament and used the June Bug exclusively. Got a limit in about two hours. Pitched up to wood and stumps and fished it slow. Lazer Trokar 3/0 EWG, 1/16 oz bullet weight on braided line Texas rigged. Water was muddy due to recent storms through the area. Tried a red flick shake and had no takers. Love this bait!

u rig it with 1/4 oz tungsten and what hook sizeand can u use jig on it
plain jig or with skirt which one
1/0 wide gap will get the job done for smaller 1 - 21/2 pound fish. But probably a 2/0 for all around fishing.A:
I use a 3.0 jig head hook nothing elseA:
I rig it on a 1/8 or 3/16 to slow the rate of the fall, use a 3/0 offset hook. I've never used it as a jig trailer, not sure On that but I can tell you this bait will catch you Larry's in clean to murky water 1' to 20' depths, great buy!!A:
1/4 oz tungsten with a #4 tokar HookSometimes I pin it depending on struture
I rig mine with a 1/4 oz tungsten and with a hook size of 3/0, and on occasion with a 2/0. I would use it as a jig if I had to, but I get good quality bites just as is on a texas rig. However if I were to use it on a jig, I would use it on a skirted jig, but remove the head to make it a little more compact.A:
i use 1/8 - 1/4 tungsten with 3/0 trokar hookA:
5/0 texas rig.A:
I rig it with a 1/8 oz tungsten weight with a 3/0 ewg Gamakatsu, because the 1/4 oz makes it fall faster than I prefer. I also use the back legs as a jig trailer after the bait tears up on a texas rig.A:
I use 1/8 to 3/8 weight ,lead usually and#2 or #3 widegap hook. It could be
used as trailer on skirted jig. color
would be determined by jig color/
