"The receivers he's got are quality players who could have gone to different programs. He's doing a tremendous job distributing the ball to a bunch of different people."
Nine Horned Frogs have caught at least one touchdown pass.
Two have five. Six have at least 15 receptions and six average at least 11.4 yards per catch. TCU has 47 pass plays covering at least 20 yards and 15 each from Skye Dawson and leading receiver Josh Boyce.
This matters to the Mountaineers, who remain ranked last nationally (No. 120) in pass defense and have allowed 41 pass plays of 20 yards or more. Seven came in the last game, a 55-14 loss to a Kansas State team that entered with runs on 69 percent of its snaps, but left with a quarterback who passed for a career-high 323 yards and four touchdowns.
Patterson said Tuesday that Boykin didn't play well in the loss to Oklahoma State and that he's perhaps too concerned with making big plays. Patterson wants Boykin to remember he's a redshirt freshman and to make smart decisions when they're there. When they're not there, Patterson would like to see Boykin run - and he is capable of divvying his duties.
Boykin, from Mesquite, Texas, ran for 1,799 yards and 30 touchdowns as a high school senior and completed 60.7 percent of his passes for 2,930 yards and 28 touchdowns. Boykin threw 11 interceptions as a senior and has six already this season.
TCU is plus-10 in turnover margin in its five win and minus-8 in the three losses - each started by Boykin.
Holgorsen said the Mountaineers paid the closest attention to the TCU games that featured Boykin. He said the offense hasn't changed from what he's known it to be and that Boykin has been the same all four games - which is to say he's maintained a certain level throughout.
"They had a very veteran quarterback that was a physical presence - he was a big dude who ran the ball probably a little more - but you can't come up with just a hundred different ways to put the ball in play, especially throughout the course of a week," he said.
"They're missing a good running back. Their running game isn't as good as Gary probably wants it to be, but they're moving the ball fine. They can beat themselves on offense.
"Our defense has got to do a good job pressuring the quarterback and trying to create turnovers."

Mount Bonnell Wedding
Here are some more photos from Austin Americana's latest wedding at Mount Bonnell, which arguably has one of the best views in Austin, including a spectacular view of the Colorado River as it stretches from beyond the 360 Bridge in the direction towards downtown Austin. It's tough to take a bad photo at such a beautiful, historic place!

National Museum of Art Lecture Series: Representing Wales at the Venice Biennale
David Alston, Arts Director, Arts Council of Wales, in conversation with Merlin James, Laura Ford and Tim Davies.
The Venice Biennale was established in 1895 and remains one of the most important and prestigious events in the international, contemporary art world.
Since 2003, Wales has been independently represented as a devolved nation. For those artists who are chosen to exhibit it is a key international platform. This lecture explores Wales�s representation in Venice and also hears from three artists who have been selected to exhibit for Wales.
As Arts Director, David Alston is responsible for developing and promoting the arts in Wales. He has more than 25 years experience in managing, leading and creating successful arts organisations. David held the post of Keeper of Art at the National Museum and Galleries of Wales in the 1990s. He later moved to The Lowry at Salford as Galleries Director before becoming its acting Chief Executive. David has held curatorial and senior management positions in galleries, museum and arts facilities, including Deputy Director of Arts in Sheffield. He has also worked as a freelance arts and cultural consultant.
Laura Ford (b. Cardiff, 1961) represented Wales at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005. She studied initially at Bath Academy of Art from 1978 before completing a masters degree at Chelsea School of Art in 1983. Ford came to prominence in 2000 when she exhibited at the British Art Show 5. She is recognised internationally as a leading Britain sculptor and her work is represented in both private and public collections including Tate, London, National Museum Cardiff, the Arts Council Collection, London.
Merlin James (b. Cardiff, 1960) represented Wales at the 52nd Biennale in 2007. He began his art studies at the University of Wales Institute in 1978, graduating from the Central School of Art in 1982 and Royal College of Art in 1986. He is represented by Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York; Mummery+Schnelle, London; Kerlin Gallery, Dublin. James' writing on art has also appeared extensively in the Burlington Magazine and elsewhere, and he has authored texts for catalogues and books, including most recently William Nicholson: A Catalogue Raisonn� (Yale/Modern Art Press. 2011). His most recent solo show was at the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublln.
Tim Davies (b. Haverfordwest, 1960) was selected to represent Wales at the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011. After working and studying in London and Norwich he returned to Wales in 1994. He won the Mostyn Open in 1997, was awarded the Gold Medal at the National Eisteddfod in 2003, and was selected for the inaugural Artes Mundi International Visual Art Prize in 2004. Davies� work is represented in both private and public collections including the Arts Council Collection, London, the Glynn Vivian Gallery, Swansea and the National Museum Cardiff. He has secured an international reputation for a diverse body of work using a wide range of media including drawing, film and installation.

And a sweep of the Olympic League titles for Sequim in 2012? Twice as nice.
The Wolves' boys and girls capped perfect league seasons last week with wins against Olympic and Klahowya, finishing the campaign with matching 8-0 league marks.
Sequim's top players were slated to compete in the Olympic League tournament May 7 at Gold Mountain Golf Course in Bremerton — results were not available at press time. The top six boys earn an automatic berth to state while the next nine earn berths for the district tourney, scheduled for May 15 back at Gold Mountain. The top eight girls earn automatic state berths while the next 12 receive district tourney berths, also at Gold Mountain on May 15.
The 2A state tournaments are May 22-23 in Spanaway.
"The girls … got rained on the whole match," Sequim coach Garrett Smithson said.
"It has been a fun season and we have a lot to look forward to in the future being such a young team," he said. "We will miss our senior leader, Hailey Estes, but like I told her, there is a lot of golf left in the postseason."
Sequim's girls also earned a win May 1 at Bremerton. Vanessa Martinez shot a 52, her top mark this season by four shots.
On the boys' side, O'Mera continued to post strong scores after finishing with an 81 for medalist honors in a sweep of Bremerton and Klahowya at Gold Mountain on May 1.
Brendon Hudson backed O'Mera's finish with a round of 88, followed by Torres (94), Frank Catelli (96) and Anthony Pinza (96).

Last season's five conference playoff games on ESPN or ESPN2 drew ratings of 0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.2 and 0.1. Seven of the eight playoff games on NBC Sports Network drew a 0.1 rating; the other recorded a 0.0 rating - 59,000 viewers nationwide.
(By comparison, "Duck Dynasty" gets a 3.7 rating weekly on A&E. Then again, there's more scoring on "Duck Dynasty.")
This year, MLS has an additional problem - some of its best players are missing games so they can play in World Cup qualifiers. FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake each was without its starting goalkeeper and a top scorer when the teams met last month.
Imagine going to see the New York Philharmonic, and the principal cellist and second violinist are absent because they're playing a Bar Mitzvah reception in Queens.
Imagine if John Kruk had missed Phillies games midseason to allow him to participate in the beer pong world championship.
Imagine attending Easter Mass at the Vatican, and instead of the pope, you get Father Guido Sarducci.
(Here's where the NFL is leagues ahead of its competition. If Ray Lewis were facing obstruction-of-justice charges in regard to a double homicide that required him to make a court appearance in-season during the height of his career, I guarantee you the NFL would schedule the Ravens for a bye week.)
If I were MLS, I'd copy the NHL - rather than let players miss an occasional match, lock them all out and maybe skip an entire season; some of us never know what we're missing until it's gone.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We added a photo of our hands intertwined, and the photo turned out beautifully on the card. We were extremely happy with the card's quality & the quick service we received. We received many compliments from our guests on how elegant and classic the card looks, too. It's great!"
"I loved this design, we are having a destination wedding and I haven't picked my main color yet. I knew I wanted black, but something with a fancy flare. This was definitely it!"
"Wedding Paper Divas did a wonderful job with our Save The Date cards. I loved the 'Grand Gesture' because black and white color scheme denotes elegance and makes our photo POP. When my fiance saw our cards he happily showed our wedding photographer because our photo had the proper cropping and lightening. And everyone can see how much we love each other. I'm so pleased that out skin tones and outfits stayed true to color and the paper is absolutely stunning. It's a great way to start everyone talking about our upcoming wedding."
"I ordered this card in Navy, and the color is rich and just what I wanted. I changed the fonts on my invitations to coordinate with my Save The Date, which was a cool feature. The order was processed and shipped so quickly that my mom was in shock."

New Treatment Is Saving Eyesight of DiabeticsPosted: Thursday, August 19, 2004
Local doctors studying an unusual treatment to save the eyesight of people with diabetes With diabetes, high levels of blood sugar damage blood vessels and cause leakage. Leaky blood vessels cannot carry enough blood or oxygen to allow the retina to function normally. To Help, patients in the study are given oxygen tanks to use 24 hours a day for 3 months. The added oxygen they breathe in goes to the retina. This helps thin the retina, which improves vision. Patients in the study are provided with a stationary oxygen concentrator for home and portable oxygen tanks to use outside the home.

Kansas City Chiefs: 7 Most Underrated Players in Franchise History
By Farzin Vousoughian ,
After doing a piece on some of the most overrated players in Chiefs history, it is only fair that I do the same for some of the underrated players this team has had.
The Chiefs have had some players go unnoticed or forgotten for their accomplishments and I will highlight them in this slideshow. As always, let me know what you think!
Many Chiefs fans remember Mike Garrett as Kansas City's primary running back during the Hank Stram era. That is no surprise as Garrett was above the league average most seasons in the 1960's and 70's.
However, Chiefs fans don't seem to know that the team had other big-time contributors when Len Dawson had his down moments. Particularly in 1969, when Dawson threw nine touchdown passes and 13 interceptions during the team's only Super Bowl run.
Backup running backs Robert Holmes and Warren McVea were serviceable players that made an impact during the team's Super Bowl run in the regular season. Holmes rushed for 612 yards and two touchdowns while McVea rushed for 500 yards and seven touchdowns.
Along with Garrett's 732 yards on the ground, the Chiefs' second-ranked rush offense was one of the bigger factors that helped them earn their only Super Bowl trophy.
Before Kansas City's Super Bowl run, one of Dawson's favorite targets was Chris Burford.
Burford ranks sixth all-time in franchise history with 5,505 yards receiving yards, but has accumulated the third most touchdowns with 55 end zone appearances. He is two touchdowns behind Otis Taylor for second place while Tony Gonzalez leads the franchise in all receiving categories.
Burford also gave the Chiefs few problems when it comes to protecting the football. In his eight seasons with Kansas City, he fumbled only three times.
Derrick Alexander is well remembered in Kansas City, however, he didn't receive as much recognition nationally during his years with the Chiefs, specifically for his stellar performance in 2000.
Alexander put up over 800 passing yards in his first two seasons with the Chiefs. He also had exactly 54 catches in each of those two seasons, but only six touchdown receptions.
In 2000, Alexander had his breakout season with 1,391 receiving yards, the most in a single season by any Chief in franchise history. Alexander caught 78 passes with 10 of them in the end zone. It was his best season statistically.
Among all receivers in the league that year, Alexander finished seventh in yards and had the second highest YPC average.
During his first stint with Kansas City, Donnie Edwards was one of the most versatile linebackers in the league and was active in multiple ways to help the Chiefs' defense in the late 1990's.
From 1996 through 2001, Edwards had 14.5 sacks, 10 interceptions and seven forced fumbles. In 2007, he returned to Kansas City and got two sacks, one interception and popped one football loose.
Kansas City's defense was one of the best as Edwards contributed playing alongside Derrick Thomas and Neil Smith.
Edwards' only Pro Bowl appearance was when he played with the San Diego Chargers, mainly for having a high tackle total in 2003 even though he put up bigger numbers in other categories with the Chiefs.
Since being drafted in 2008, Brandon Carr has been well-remembered by fans in Kansas City and it was hoped that he would return for the 2012 season.
As a No. 2 cornerback, Carr started 16 games in all four of the seasons he played in Kansas City. While continuing to improve, Carr established himself as a better defender, knocking down passes and limiting receptions.
This offseason, Carr landed a five-year deal worth $50.1 million with the Dallas Cowboys. It will be interesting to see if Carr can continue his level of play, and better yet, get more recognition for his work.
J.T. Smith was one of the league's electrifying returners in the 1980's. It all began in Kansas City where he got a chance to prove himself after the Washington Redskins let him leave.
His best years as a wide receiver was with the St. Louis Rams, but Kansas City was where he excelled as a punt returner. While most fans think of Dante Hall or Tamarick Vanover as the best returners to play for the Chiefs, fans don't seem to remember this player that once ignited the KC special teams unit.
Smith returned the most yards off punts in franchise history with 2,289 in his six years with the Chiefs. He is tied with Vanover in punt-return touchdowns with four while Hall has five.
Smith went on to play for the Rams and the Phoenix Cardinals after leaving the Chiefs in 1985. Smith saw limited action as a returner and was more dominant on offense.

Impromptu investigations can render some interesting results; we found this out when we stumbled upon this little gem in Savannah, Georgia.
A few members of the team decided to hit the historic city of Savannah and wander around to see about locations that sparked our interest. With an affinity for getting lost to find my way around, I decided to take a turn down Harris St and a peculiar house caught my eye.
The door was open and a small sign saying tours were starting caught my eye. So we decided to go in. upon entering the building we were astonished to see that it was well preserved. The large windows shed natural light on many of the rooms and the place just felt cozy.
We were given the grand tour of the establishment and the guide [name omitted] was very curious as to our interest, and shirts, and he began to tell of his many experiences of the home.
We decided to take the "ghost tour" later that evening and were allowed to leave some of our equipment in a few of the most active rooms. It seemed quiet to us but as you see below, we did not appear to be alone.

Against the Chicago Bears in Week 14, Brian Dawkins injured his neck.
Since then, the veteran safety has missed three games — including last week's 29-23 win in the Wild Card round of the playoffs — and was absent from the majority of a fourth game when he left the Buffalo contest in Week 16 in the first quarter.
But Head Coach John Fox said Wednesday that there is some positive news.
"He's way further along this week than he was last week, and we'll play it by ear," Fox said of Dawkins. "When he gets cleared medically, we'll have him out there."
Dawkins (neck) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, and neither did Eric Decker (knee) and Lonie Paxton (personal).
David Bruton (Achilles), Daniel Fells (ankle) and Elvis Dumervil (ankle) had limited participation, and Von Miller (thumb) participated fully in the session, which was moved indoors due to snow.
Fox was asked about those players' injuries after practice.
"As the head coach, they all concern you, and hopefully we'll be 100 percent healthy come Saturday," he said. "We'll have to be day-to-day, and we'll see."
If Decker can't play in this weekend's Divisional round matchup with the New England Patriots, Fox said he's confident in his fellow receivers to step up, including Matthew Willis — who has "made big plays in big spots all season" — and D'Andre Goodwin, who was signed to the active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday.
"He's got outstanding deep speed," Fox said of Goodwin. "He has good quickness in and out of breaks. We thought enough of him to bring him back, albeit on the practice squad. I don't like calling it the practice squad. It's more of a developmental squad. He has shown good development."
Needless to say, the head coach is confident in his club no matter who is able to take the field on Saturday.
"We've been next-man-up all season regardless of the position," he said. "That's no different for our preparation for New England."
When the Patriots defeated the Broncos in Week 15, New England's tight end duo of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez combined to grab 13 receptions for 182 yards and a touchdown.
"I think we've got to have a better plan of who our matchups are, where those matchups are and how we're going to defend them," Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen said Wednesday.
He called Gronkowski a "big, physical matchup issue," and described Hernandez as "really like a wide receiver."
Part of the reason the two are such tough matchups — in addition to their skill — is the way the Patriots utilize them.
New England thrives by forcing the defense's hand with different personnel packages.
"I think it puts a lot of pressure on all of us," Allen said. "They really make you work as far as how are you going to match up with the different players. You can't take that for granted because you don't want to get in situation where you get mismatches, because when you do, they take advantage of it. We had a few of those in the game the last time, but a few of those happened because we made mistakes. That's part of the issue when you try to get the perfect matchup, sometimes the guys get out of position. They are not sure where exactly they're supposed to be or who they are supposed to be covering. We have to clean a lot of that stuff up, and if we do, I think we'll have a chance in this game."
Allen knows slowing down the tight ends will go a long way toward Denver's success in the Divisional round.
"We've got a good plan for how we're going to handle it, and we'll see how it plays out on Saturday night," he said.
"At the end of the day, we could have gone outside, but I don't know that our focus would have been as good as it was in that dome today," Fox said. "That's why we decided to go there instead of outdoors."
But that doesn't mean the Broncos can't carry momentum from their thrilling, 29-23 victory last Sunday into this weekend's contest in New England.
"We had a good week of practice last week, and then went into the Pittsburgh game and had a good team effort," he said. "You saw the results that we got, so now we have to build off of that. It's going to be the same philosophy as every week. Just continue to get better. The best team at the end wins it."
"I think it's him being more comfortable with us now since he's been playing with us for a while," said Thomas, who caught four passes for 204 yards and the game-winning touchdown against Pittsburgh. "He's just throwing the ball on time and getting a chance to make plays. I feel like every ball I caught in the game was on point. It was in my stride. I feel like he's getting more comfortable and not worrying about who's in what spot and where people are supposed to be."
The Broncos' injury report was detailed above. Here is the full report from the Patroits' practice on Wednesday.
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: DL Kyle Love (not injury related)
LIMITED: CB Kyle Arrington (foot), S Patrick Chung (foot), C Dan Connolly (groin), WR Julian Edelman (back), LB Dane Fletcher (thumb), S James Ihedigbo (shoulder), T Matt Light (ankle), G Logan Mankins (knee), CB Devin McCourty (shoulder), LB Rob Ninkovich (hip), WR Matthew Slater (shoulder), LB Brandon Spikes (knee), OT Sebastian Vollmer (back/foot), WR Wes Welker (knee) and LB Tracy White (abdomen)

Film gems stand out at Sundance Film Festival, Palm Springs Film Festival
Also deservedly among the best films at Sundance 2010 were the prize-winning feature films "Obselidia," "Cyrus" and "happythankyoumoreplease."
For my money, many of the best at Palm Springs 2010 were also the documentaries — the top being the enlightening "Most Dangerous Man in America," which, as the subtitle reveals, concerns "Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers."
Knowing that it was wrong from the start, five U.S. presidents maintained publicly the myth that we needed to be in Vietnam. And the man who dared to leak the truth to 17 newspapers — told in 7,000 pages he managed to steal from the Pentagon — was in attendance at the screening and received thundering applause and a standing ovation.
A close tie for my festival favorite was "Soundtrack for a Revolution," and I not only teared up the moment it started, but that feeling stayed with me throughout this entire beautiful, dignified and immensely moving documentary about the American civil rights movement and the music that went with it.
Also very memorable — and very gripping as well — is the documentary "Sergio" about the United Nation's diplomatic high commissioner from Corsica, Sergio di Mello, who had been so successful in Bangladesh, Africa, and working with the Khmer Rouge to free 400,000 Cambodians to return to their own homes.
This moving story focuses on his being trapped inside the United Nations building in Iran when it was bombed.
"Nobody's Perfect" — a documentary from Germany that is highly unusual but ultimately immensely fascinating and lovable — concerns several disfigured people who were born in 1961 as Thalidomide babies, now sought out and brought together by one of the group.
Definitely one of a kind, this is a heart-warmer you won't soon forget.
Two other documentaries were also standouts: Narrated by Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Natasha Richardson, "The Wildest Dream" chronicles the climb of Conrad Anker to the top of Mount Everest. It also features the backstory of George Mallory, who had first reached the top in 1924 but never returned, and whose body Anker discovers.
Ballet fans will want to see "Only When I Dance" — a touching documentary of a young man and a young woman from Rio de Janiero who dream of becoming a part of the world's best.
Still another documentary — this one called "Dumbstruck" — wisely follows the aspirations of five diverse ventriloquists (one just a little boy, one a beauty queen, another the winner of "America's Got Talent" three seasons ago).
It's a charmer.
And speaking of charm, if you're not won over by "The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls," you've got no heart. An audience favorite, this documentary follows the life and career of lesbian twin sisters from New Zealand. Wonderful as both singers and comedians, they've entertained all around the world, with routines featuring two tough men, Ken and Ken; as the Ramsbottom ladies of high society; and as a hilarious Camp Leader and Camp Mother.
My favorite dramatic film at Palm Springs was, hands down, "Letters to Father Jacob," featuring an old, blind and retired priest and the big, sullen hulk of a woman, serving a life sentence in prison, then pardoned and sent, reluctantly, to serve him. I never talked to anyone at the festival who didn't either light up or almost choke up at the mention of this little gem.
A powerful film from the very moment it starts is "Nobody to Watch Over Me" from Japan, featuring the frenzy that occurs when a young boy is arrested for killing two young girls, and a cop is assigned to protect his school-girl sister from the unruly mass of photographers and reporters who fall upon them.

I often see "eat more healthy foods" on working moms' lists of goals and, believe it or not, many weeks of the year it is on this dietitian's goal list, too. It is easy to get into a junk food rut, or simply not find the time to get to the store to stock up on fresh produce and healthy snacks (or the kids beat you to them). But with a little strategy in place, you can eat more healthfully.
These easy examples work even if you haven't haven't been to the store in a week:
6.) For dessert, make a yogurt smoothie: Blend cup of your favorite low-fat fruit yogurt with a fresh banana or some frozen berries. Add low fat milk if needed, and you've got a smooth and creamy dose of calcium.
Don't waste another day; take time to eat something that is good for you right now!

The turf of West Virginia Power Park was home to a different kind of sport this weekend as the American Cornhole Organization kicked off its ninth season with the West Virginia Cornhole Cup, one of eight major tournaments to be held in various states.
This is the first time a tournament has been held in Charleston. Friday evening was the more laid back precursor to the actual tournament Saturday, and the public was encouraged to come out and enjoy the fun.
With food, drinks and live music, the scene could have been your typical backyard barbecue with the family - a very large family.
Nearly 100 people graced the field as participants and observers of the open-play event. Anyone with a membership and $5 entry fee was welcome to play. Representatives collected the $20 registration fee and signed up people to become new members.
Managing the nearly 20 simultaneous cornhole matches, ACO President and CEO Frank Geers was on hand to explain the overall rundown of the weekend tournament. Geers was enthusiastic about the public getting involved.
Partners for the 21-point matches at the Charleston event were chosen randomly, and winners could walk away with small cash prizes - $40 for first place and $20 for second.
Getting to a professional status is the goal of any serious cornhole athlete. Bruce Forsee of Cincinnati, Ohio, provided important statistics for any newcomer to cornhole hoping to go pro.
A cornhole player needs to score 120 points in a Skills Challenge Rating, or SCR, as well as average 245 points in regional tournaments. These events are held about once a month with eight to nine major tournaments throughout the year.

Re: Destination Wedding/Honeymoon all inclusives
Have you decided on your wedding/honeymoon venue? There are several high end places in Mexico currently being offered on LuxuryLink, such as Las Alamandas. http://www.luxurylink.com/auctions/a...?id=159755&nav=
I might combine a 3 night package there with time at Hotelito Desconcido which is not far away. I've read they have great food, but it might be a more rustic style than you prefer.
Just a thought, but I'm wondering if the food you'd get at a non-AI resort may be more to your liking? Is the AI a deal breaker for you?

Okay... I looked up Secrets Capri... and within Budget I can get 7 nights with wedding and airfare to there. Which is fabulous. I'm a little concerned about the beach... but that seems to be the case with all the resorts as a result of the hurricanes.
I was thinking of November of this year... but
I liked Secrets Maroma A LOT. If they really open in March 08. It might be play to wait till then, save up some extra $$ and go there in late April/early May.
Didn't really see much else... I wasn't entirely comfortable with the Sandals resorts reviews I read... this planning has already been a nightmare... don't want more headaches. No more military precision planning. I can obviously up the budget a bit... which I may opt to do. 10K would work with Grand Velas. Hmm... especially if we did THAT in March/April. (Family $$ wouldn't be contributed to an 'elopement'... funds only available for the big wedding horror).

cruisinred-- thank you for the auction links! They looked intriuging.
My fiance (DF) wanted a cruise... or at least the convenience of cruise style vacation. We decided to give a high end all-inclusive a try. He REALLY doesn't want to worry about $$ for food, or well, anything on our wedding/ honeymoon.
But, no a non-AI would not be a deal breaker... but it would be a tough sell.
I just found (pardon me if this a newbie find, I'm new to this whole vacation sleuthing thing) that certain airlines-- like alaska airlines have hotel and air package rates MUCH lower than those posted on the Grand Velas site. For 6 nights, including airfare... almost a 1500 savings over the JUST accomodation rate on the Grand Velas site. Which plunges it right back into affordable!
That and the new Secrets opening in 2008 are my front runners. I noticed that last year Luxury Link had an auction for Grand Velas... so I will DEFINITELY keep my eye out for that!!!
We just want to have our wedding and honeymoon all at once. One place... 7 days would be fabulous for it all. We would have to get there in the middle of the week... so on Wednesday so that we can be married on a Friday. But that's about it.
THANK YOU ALL so MUCH for your help. You've been really helpful.
Of course... any non-AI recommendations would be welcome... its nice to have a longer Auction look out list!!!

Hi Gypsy Layla,
We went to El Careyes resort (www.elcareyesresort.com) on the Pacific Coast of Mexico (between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo) for part of our honeymoon last November. We bought a package on Luxury link for about $1500 (approx half price) for5 nights. It was not all inclusve though.
We had a great relaxing time. Nice beach in a sheltered cove, about 100 people at most at the resort (though I only saw about 20 people), great staff (most didn't speak much English though, and we don't speak much Spanish), nice pool, plenty of activities (diving etc) if you're interested. Beautiful spot on the beach for small wedding or romantic dinners. Our room was right near the beach with a private plunge pool. The food was good, but I have had better, having said that we aren't too adventurous foodwise so some more exotic things don't appeal to us.
I can't remember how much the flights cost us but I don't think they would be too expensive, but we had to catch a taxi for about an hour from Barra de Navidad to get there. The resort may be able to arrange slighlty nicer transport for you?

PURPLE is an acronym to help people remember the characteristics of this particular type of crying:
• Peak -- Crying often peaks at about 2 months old.
• Unexpected -- Crying may start and stop for no apparent reason.
• Resists soothing -- Babies may keep crying no matter what you do.
• Pain-like face -- Babies look like they're in pain, even when nothing is wrong.
• Long-lasting -- Babies may cry five hours a day or more.
• Evenings -- Babies tend to cry more during late afternoons or evenings.

Fantastic and very fun cartoon. Mickey's first premiere in color looks absolutely stunning, animation of all characters is incredibly well-crafted. It is a shame that today's "3D stuff" does not look as excellent as this one.

I saw this cartoon again recently. It's really good, with great gags involving Donald's many,many flutes. Someone must have remembered the Overture of William Tell has the same beat of 'Turkey In The Straw' and this is used to great effect. When Mickey conducts 'The Storm' a real storm brews up,and the whole ensemble is caght up in a Tornado which only stops when Mickey brings forward the cresendo,but through out the storm the band is playing. A great cartoon that suggests music can be fun!

Thomas's Confirmation: The True Story
The Confirmation Mess: Cleaning Up the Federal Appointments Process
Race-ing Justice, En-gendering Power: Essays on Anita Hill, Clarence Thomas, and the Construction of Social Reality
Resurrection: The Confirmation of Clarence Thomas
Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas
After Supreme Court nominations led to two recent slug-fests (Robert Bork's rejection in 1987, Clarence Thomas's confirmation in 1991), many people believed that "the process" of clearing appointments to the Court had gone seriously awry and needed repair. Senator John Danforth wants confirmation hearings to be treated like trials, preserving the assumption that a nominee is innocent of all charges brought against him or her, until and unless such charges can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Others have proposed different remedies—that trained cross-examiners, instead of senators on the judiciary committee, question the nominee; that the hearings be held in secret (or not held at all), that witnesses against the nominee be restricted in what they can allege. Stephen Carter, in The Confirmation Mess, shows how unpracticable these and other remedies would be.
There is no reason to think "the process" is flawed. After Watergate, some concluded that there was something wrong with the presidential electoral process, and cast about for ways of reforming it. But the electoral machinery does not guarantee that a good man will be chosen, only that the choice will reflect the electorate's wishes. All it can do is give the people what they want, and in 1968 people voted overwhelmingly for Nixon and Agnew (43 percent) or for Wallace-Lemay (13 percent), a 56 percent vote to repress what annoyed Americans at the time (campus revolt, city riots, antiwar protesters). The rule with the election process is the same as for computers: garbage in, garbage out. The same could be said of the Supreme Court nomination process. There is nothing wrong with the machinery of public hearing, just with the attitudes of those using it. When a chairman of the Judiciary Committee cannot make up his mind what the hearings should or should not investigate, the best machinery in the world will not improve the furnishings of his mind.
Some nominees have taken the position that they have no responsibility to answer questions about their views. Only their public record should be examined. In 1939, Felix Frankfurter refused to appear before the committee, until his friends convinced him that he would be rejected if he did not. But Frankfurter had a point: no nominees had testified before the Senate until 1925, when Harlan Stone became the first to do so. The level of appointments in the past did not seem to suffer significantly because no hearings were held.
Besides, the Senate's role is to "advise and consent," not to make appointments on its own. Over the course of seventy-five years, from 1894 to 1968, only one nominee (John J. Parker) was rejected—leading people to think the Senate's role as a rubber stamp would continue. But this was the period of an expanding "imperial presidency," when Congress ceded many powers to the executive branch. Not surprisingly, the rejection of justices reentered our political life late in Lyndon Johnson's presidency (with resistance to his nominees Fortas and Thornberry) and early in Richard Nixon's (with the rejection of two men in a row, Haynsworth and Carswell). That is, just when Congress was reasserting its authority on a broad range of issues.
The lull in rejections after 1894 was a sharp departure from earlier practice. Up to that year, an average of one in four justices had been rejected.1 Even a sympathetic Federalist Congress turned back one of George Washington's choices—John Rutledge, a former justice nominated to become Chief Justice. And these rejections were often based on broad considerations, going beyond the candidate's judicial record. Rutledge was rebuffed because he broke ranks with the Federalists on the Jay Treaty and because of rumors about his mental stability.2 He might have welcomed a chance to explain his views on the Treaty and to confront the rumors of his insanity.
Other men were dismissed from consideration as a deliberate rebuke to the President. John Tyler failed with five nominees.3 The Senate let Andrew Johnson know it would confirm none of his appointees; it reduced the court from ten to nine justices, and threatened to shrink it to eight if he tried to put up another nominee.4 These were extensions of a normal Senate reaction to lame duck presidents: when the executive is expected to change hands, the Senate has often delayed a consideration of the nominee until a new administration came in (the tactic used against Fortas and Thornberry in 1968).
There would have been more rejections but for quiet elimination of figures under consideration when their Senate prospects looked dark. This often involved "senatorial courtesy" (a de facto veto on nominees if either senator from the person's own state was opposed) or geographical balance. The threat of rejection usually makes a president keep the congressional will in mind as he makes his selection of a nominee. It was Nixon's defiance of such tact (as well as the candidate's mediocrity) that quickly solidified opposition to Harold Carswell.
It is naive, then, to suppose that appointment of justices can be, or ever was, "above politics." If that were the case presidents would not make Supreme Court appointments from their own party 85 percent of the time, and appointments to lower courts from their own party 90 percent of the time.5 It is clear from this that the Senate cannot compel a president to choose someone not of his own party. Often the nominees come from the president's administration or his campaign team.
If a Democratic Senate cannot "advise" a Republican president to appoint a Democratic justice, what advice can the Senate give? Whatever advice it thinks relevant to the situation. Those seeking advice do not normally tell the adviser what counsel he or she can give. A person who says, "Advise me, but only to do this," is not seeking advice. Yet some think a president can or should say, "Advise me to support the man I have already appointed." That is not advice. It is capitulation.
Needless to say, the Senate does not have an entirely free hand. It cannot, as I just said, dictate the party background of a nominee. There are certain other practical restrictions on its mandate. A president can appoint someone because (among other things) he or she is a black, a woman, a Catholic, a Jew. Ronald Reagan promised to appoint a woman, and did. The Senate cannot, as a political reality, refuse to confirm because the candidate is black or a woman. It must come up with some other plausible objection, since there are social gains to having a black on the Court, or a woman, but no definable social gains in, say, refusing to have a woman on the Court. (If, at some point, there were seven women on the Court, objection to confirming an eighth would have a defensible basis.) "Diversity" was the ground on which some Senators voted to confirm Clarence Thomas—and it is one respectable basis for making such a decision.
In general, given the fact that a nominee will normally be of the president's party, and often of his personal circle, the Senate can demand that the justice-to-be show some independence in judicial matters, along with basic competence, desirable judicial temperament, and formed constitutional attitudes. How to determine these things is the problem—a problem made more acute by many efforts to limit inquiry.
We are told, for instance, that the Senate should not try to predict how a justice will vote on key cases, and certainly not ask him or her ahead of time, exacting a pledge. Yet the president clearly considers that in his selection, despite unconvincing disavowals; and in fact the performance of judges, with a few famous exceptions, is usually predictable.6 We are also told that there should be no "litmus test" for confirmation of a justice, or even for his or her nomination. That makes some sense when it concerns a deeply divisive issue like abortion, on which the community has not made up its mind. New situations and arguments may call for fresh thinking on the justice's part, and a pledge to vote one way or another might inhibit fairness (or the perception of it).
But even there a justice who showed a pattern of insensitivity to the issue (on whichever side) is suspect. And there are other matters, on which the mind of the nation is made up, which constitute de facto "litmus tests." If, outlandishly, a present nominee held Roger Taney's views on slavery, he would be dismissed at once. That sounds far-fetched; but Stephen Carter makes the sound point that agreement with the Brown v. Board of Education decision is now a litmus test. Both Bork and Thomas, who had earlier questioned the rationale of the decision, had to assure the judiciary committee that they agreed with the result. They would have had no chance of being confirmed if they had done otherwise.
Another limit on inquiry is imposed by people who say a justice should have no constitutional views at all, only the supposed lack of independent views that looks to the "original intent" of the Constitution's framers and ratifiers. This claim is based on a naive epistemology—on a view that the language of the document and the mind of the reader can be clear mirrors through which others' intent shines without interference.7 It is also based on deep historical ignorance of the nature of the Constitution—on the sense that people voted for provisions from a single discernible intent. The founders themselves proposed the document as a compromise to be clarified by time and by concrete situations.8 They differed among themselves on the meaning of their own document (e.g., on whether it allowed for a national bank). When they did so, they did not settle their arguments by looking up the debates on the Constitution (which Madison, in fact, kept hidden during the controversies on the Bank and other matters), but by arguments from equity, justice, and legal precedent outside as well as within the Constitution. Thus "originalism," as presented by Edwin Meese or Robert Bork, is one of many schools of constitutional interpretation, not a way of avoiding interpretation.9 But Republican presidents have promised to appoint people who will not interpret, just "stick to" the original intent. This is supposed to exempt them from questioning about their constitutional views (as opposed to the founders' views).
If people can remove from the scope of Senate inquiry a consideration of judicial philosophy as well as of views on particular cases, that leaves the Senate with nothing to inquire about except basic mental and moral competence. If the nominee is equipped to read the Constitution in the original (intent and all) and has no ethical conflicts of interest or obvious moral failings, then he should sail through.
That was, in effect, what Robert Bork's defenders said of him. When one of the major indicators of competence used by the committee, a recommendation of the American Bar Association, turned up ten votes calling Bork qualified, with one abstention and four votes marking him unqualified, Bork cried foul: "The committee was [supposed] to judge only professionalism and not philosophy."10 The four opponents cited lack of "judicial temperament," which Bork claimed was outside their purview—and presumably outside the committee's as well.

Madison was not so epistemologically naive. He argued that the meaning of the Constitution was not single, fixed, and obvious, since "no language is so copious as to supply words and phrases for every complex idea, or so correct as not to indicate many equivocally denoting different ideas." Comparing constitutional interpretation to biblical exegesis, he abjures fundamentalism: "When the Almighty himself condescends to address mankind in their own language, his meaning, luminous as it must be, is rendered dim and doubtful by the cloudy medium, through which it is communicated." The Federalist, No. 37, edited by Jacob E. Cooke (Wesleyan University Press, 1961), pp. 236–237. ↩
Madison recommended the Constitution because it left its meaning to be found by later uses, applications, and interpretations: "All new laws, though penned with the greatest technical skill, and passed on the fullest and most mature deliberation, are considered as more or less obscure and equivocal, until their meaning be liquidated [clarified] and ascertained by a series of particular discussions and adjudications." The Federalist, No. 37, p. 236. ↩
Robert Bork says that the intent of the ratifiers in all the states (who enacted the law), not the framers (who only proposed it, acting as a drafting committee), is what binds. But some of the late ratifying states came in reluctantly, because they felt they could not defeat the Constitution and they did not want to be left out. What was their "intent"—submission to force majeure? See Bork, The Tempting of America (Free Press, 1990), p. 181. ↩
