Rated 2 out of 5 This hotel needs work on the basics We are loyal Starwood Gold members and we were very dissapointed with our stay at the Sheraton Seattle. We usually stay at the W in Seattle and have always had great experiences. Needless to stay, we will be back at the W for our next visit. While the staff was all polite, they made mistake after mistake on our visit. We had confirmed a suite two months ago only to find out that they were all sold out of suites upon check in. Then they lost my luggage at the Bell Desk for about 3 hours, even though I had a claim check and the bag had my I.D. on it. Then, my wife ordered room service and was served raw steak in the tacos that looked like it had been left out for days. When she returned it, they offered to make her a salad without bleu cheese and with the dressing on the side. This was personally delivered by the Chef over an hour later (who was very kind to have done so) who confirmed that there was no cheese on the saled. When she opened the saled, it was covered with Bleu Cheese and dressing. Since it had taken so long for the salad to arrive, it was after midnight and the kitchen was closed. My wife is nursing her newborn and it is very frustrating that she wasn't able to eat. The hotel is very nicely appointed but they really need to work on the basics. August 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chucrew Perfect Location We really enjoyed our stay, overall. Pros: Beautiful hotel, great location for sightseeing and proximity to train station made this a wonderful choice for our hotel in Seattle for 2 nights. We loved the clean, comfortable and quiet room. The indoor pool is gorgeous and sunsets from this view are stunning. Cons: We are SPG Gold. We were recognized with very quick check-in at SPG desk and awarded bonus amenity right away. However, SPG Club level was full so no special room, but not really a problem for us. 2 water bottles in room- great. Our problem was that we could not secure a late check out (hotel was sold out), which we understood. Until we found out that another family member (who is also SPG and SVN member) in another room did get late check out and the Green Choice option, which we were not offered. They also had a slightly larger room, despite checking in a day after us. IMPORTANT NOTE TO SPG: This is a lovely hotel. However, not getting SPG Club, no Green Choice points earning option and no late check out for us equalled a very average SPG experience. Hotel should be able to offer additional SPG points when they cannot fulfill SPG perks for Gold & Platinum members. We enjoyed our stay, but were disappointed that we didn't get to enjoy same perks that our other family member receieved. July 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Holidayfun Special Deals My stay at the hotel was very comfortable, as I expected from the Sheraton. One of the reasons I chose the Sheraton was the special deal offered on the holiday Duck Tour of Seattle. Since I booked my reservation by phone, no one by phone at the reservation site, nor at the Seattle hotel was able to give the the 20% discount. The Duck Tours were willing to give me the discount if I had the promotional code the Sheraton offered. The last time I called the Seattle Sheraton, I was told that they'd call me back. Since I never received a call back, I went ahead and booked directly with the Duck Tour as to not spoil the holiday plans I made for my sister. December 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jddnla Great hotel The room was comfortable. It was clean. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JasmineWang9669 This hotel has the best food and great customer service The food here is absolutely delicious, beautiful and very fresh. Spare ribs, fish and shrimps are cooked tender and juicy with different sauces that just enhance the natural flavor of the meat or seafood. Salad has a wide variety and is as fresh as directly from the garden. Oh, the desert is an absolute necessity: its soft sweetness brings everything to a perfect circle. The service is prompt and friendly. Everyone wears a smile and is willing to go the extra mile to help. I feel very welcomed and taken good care of. I have definitely had a great experience and will share it with friends and families with a passion. April 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TandT Very Accommodating This hotel was very accommodating to our needs. We came in for the Emerald City Comic Book Convention. We arrived earlier than the check-in time and were immediately placed into a room with our choice of a lower or higher level. Due to car service, we also needed to schedule a late check-out, which was immediately accommodated. We were advised of time limits, cost and free baggage holding, if we chose that option. I also loved that there was a Fed Ex office located inside the hotel for our shipping needs. And we used the 15% discount offered in the Daily Grill for hotel guests. I would definitely stay at this location on our return trip to Seattle. March 6, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Elle85 Expectations not met The Sheraton's high standard was not achieved in my stay at the Seattle downtown location. Our bathroom looked as though it had not been cleaned. The toilet had toilet paper left in it. The sink area had glass ring stains, there were hairs on the edge of the bathtub, and the soap in the bathtub was out of its packaging and looked used. I complained to the reception staff and asked for my bathroom to be cleaned. When I returned after dinner nothing had changed. At that point I felt like there was no point complaining to the hotel staff further. The rest of the room looked good and was comfortable, but as you can imagine we were overall disappointed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jupper Union Street Tower - mid level room I booked a one week stay at the Sheraton Seattle a couple of weeks back. Upon check-in I was explained about the two towers, but not about the additional exit (which would've save me a couple of soaks in the downpours) at the Union Street tower. Staff was quick, but nobody was manning the station where an SPG floormat was present, so I opted for the regular line. I was given a room in the smaller Union street tower, about halfway up across from the elevators, though I barely heard them. Room had a nice view onto Union square. Room was nice, though chilly, even with the thermostat set well beyond 70F/21C, the windowsill was extremely cold, some good insulation might do wonders for their heating bill and guests comfort. Bathroom was a bit awkward in regards to where everything was placed, but it worked. I was in a connecting room, and despite my misgivings about those, the wall and door were properly soundproofed, so I was happy. Newspaper (USA today) delivery was spotty, but I had no need for it anyway, but for people who like it, it could be a bit frustrating. Service staff was very pleasant throughout my stay and offered helpful advice when asked about options for transport and entertainment. The small coffee and refreshment shop downstairs has limited opening hours, but is a good one-stop place when on the go. All in all, conveniently next to the WSCC and a pleasant stay.

Rated 2 out of 5 by dmac328 Rough Stay I checked in at the front desk, and was given 2 keys. I carried my bag up to my room, and neither key worked. I went back down to the front desk, and apparently they had assigned the keys to the wrong room. Not a big deal, just slightly annoying. My room was in a weird corner with 3 other rooms. I heard people coming in and out all night, including a loud fighting couple around 3am. At 6am, I was woken up by someone delivering room service. I did not order room service, and my "do not disturb" sign was on the door. When I got to the door half asleep, the girl at the door rudely said "you ordered room service." I said "no i didn't." She just said "oh," and walked away. No apology. I will not be staying at this hotel again. May 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jean0001 Good Hotel Clean comfortable room. Good Shower. June 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by havebusinesswilltravel Nice hotel, Nice location, Terrible service. Shame on me but I thought we would give the Seattle Sheraton another try. It seems like every time we stay here it's something. I generally have a good stay at Sheratons, and I am a platinum Starwood member so obviously I stay at Starwood quite a bit. All that being said I will NEVER stay at this hotel again unless God forbid it's the only option, then I will dread every moment leading to the stay. I booked a room at this hotel for 4 nights. At check in I was thanked for my platinum status but not offered a welcome gift, (points, etc.) and I was told we were in a room with a double bed. I was traveling with my wife, kids stayed home, so I asked for a king bed. The staff looked at the computer and said "I am sorry sir, but our king rooms are totally sold out for the entire length of your stay" I found this hard to believe so I asked, are you sure? "Yes sir, totally booked" so I pulled up my SPG mobile app and checked, there are all kinds of king rooms available. I show the gentleman what about all these king rooms, I can get online and book one right now that is available. Now I am pretty calm, but I was pretty irritated that I had been lied to. The desk person says "let me check" goes back behind the check in wall and comes back and says "we can put you in a king room" Honestly? After all that? Most hotels make me feel like staying exclusively at Starwood properties is a good idea and take care of us; The Sheraton downtown Seattle always, Always makes me regret it. Do yourself a favor and book a different SPG property. October 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Erika75 Excellent experience We took our girls for a trip to the city and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton. Rooms are very nice and beds are amazing! We loved swimming in the pool as well. The hotel is great for families and business travelers. It's also located a block from pacific place, Nordstrom, and all of the great downtown shopping . Couldn't ask for a better location. Since we are starwood members, the hotel offered us a late check out free of charge for 4:00. Most importantly was the fact that we forgot our iPad but they saved it for us in the lost and found. I really appreciate the honesty of the employees. We will definitely stay here again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Weldon2013 THE HOTEL IS LOCATED WITHIN BLOCKS OF THE WATERFRONT AND MAJOR DEPARTMENTS The hotel is located about 20 miles from the airport. 24 hours paid private shuttle available to and from airport. Light rail is available to and from the airport for about $5.00 one way about twenty minutes travel time rail station a couple of blocks from the hotel. We checked in early in the afternoon only one room was available. We stored our luggage in the room. The second room was adjoining and was ready about one hour later. The rooms were large. The work table was large and plenty of electrical connection for accessories. There were plenty of drawers for storing of clothing. The bathroom sink counter top was large with plenty of room to place personal items. There is a bathtub with an overhead shower. The floor was tile. The room lighting was very good. There was one end table between the two double beds with two lamps. The end table had a large drawer that accommodates personal items. The lower shelf was large enough two store two or more pairs of shoes. The Internet speed was very good no connection problems. The hotel has very good elevator service little if any delays waiting for an elevator. I recommend the City Grill for lunch in the hotel. We had lunch there a couple of times very good service. The Soup and Sandwich or Soup and Salad combinations are very good. There Lunch Menu is extensive. There are several clothing stores within a couple of block from the hotel. Nordstrom and Macy are a couple of blocks away from the hotel. The Pike Street Market is a couple of blocks away. The waterfront is a few blocks away. August 10, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SC12guy The blame game Attending the Supercomputing conference gave me the opportunity to try Sheraton again. With status in two other hotel systems, the opportunity to try another brand was something I was looking forward to. I generally enjoyed my stay but interaction with the staff reflected a strained and ineffective human resource management approach. The cleaning lady on my floor seemed panicked when I dropped a bag off in my room and proceeded to leave with the second for the convention center. The staff at the front desk blamed each other when one of our developers didn't have the corporate payment system in her reservation and she had to call me. The bell stand blamed numerous people including some of our staff when we tried to track a small packaged shipped to the hotel but misplaced. Speaking to others at the conference, many organizations seemed to have a similar experience. One other curious mention, I used a credit card branded under a competing system on check-in. The staff immediately tried to sign me up for a SPG branded card. I explained that I was trying SPG premium hotels and might move corporate business if we enjoyed the stay. We charged employee team rooms to AMEX and the other hotel branded card. Staff members never thanked us for trying the brand, noted these details on our records, attempted to put our team together, and seemed generally put out when I presented the card I was carrying to pay for more inbound staff members. How can a hotel chain be so indifferent to switching corporate accounts from other brands? In summary, the considerable money spent to make the hotel attractive, convenient, and functional is mitigated by poor management. November 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by stonemo3 Courtesy Your hotel staff was very courteous and very eager to assist. June 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by EastCoastGemini Great hotel for the busy traveler This hotel is great for a traveler who does not plan to stay in his or her room much. The hotel is located in a great location in Seattle close to a movie theatre and other landmarks. The hotel has a wonderful décor and superb amenities. For example, they have a large pool for swimming laps and a two level gym with plenty of equipment. The hotel also offers a gift shop, snack shop and full restaurant and bar. On the downside, the hotel rooms lack an accessible mini refrigerator. The rooms have a refrigerator but you must pay extra to gain access. Additionally, the televisions are smaller than what you'd find in other comparable hotels. All in all, the hotel was a great choice for my trip. April 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by charming A Post Christmas Shopping Trip My wife & I descended on the Sheraton on December 27th for a three night stay. This was a return visit, as we had stayed earlier in the year for two nights. Both were non-business visits, mostly shopping and exploring Seattle. We previously had a room in the older of the two towers on the 31st floor. This time we had the newer tower and the 21st floor. The differences were noticeable. Our room was small-ish but clean and quiet. The bathroom was satisfying-ish. The TV didn't receive digital channels very well, as the image kept breaking up. We didn't complain, but they could probably have done a reset to fix it. There were analog channels available which didn't have the same issue. The bathroom was adequate and the bath tub had a flat floor which made showering safer, and lots of hot water and a shower nozzle that gave a decent stream of water. The sink was odd though because the tap nozzle only came out across the bowl by 3-4 inches, barely enough to get your hands under. Also the hot/cold taps worked oddly. Beds were really comfortable, as were the pillows and blankets. One area where I would recommend a change is the addition of a floor lamp near the wing back chair for reading. Almost every other hotel has a reading lamp near a comfortable chair. The Sheraton is conveniently situated for a mini vacation of eating and shopping. The Cheesecake Factory is next door, Ruth Chris' is a block away, Morton's half a block, Macy's and Nordstrums the same. Also the surrounding blocks have numerous restaurants that beg to be visited on our next visits. The area around the hotel was safe enough for my wife to do unescorted shopping trips during the day time and even early evening. Lots of people on the streets, kind of festive and entertaining. Complaints? Yes, I have a couple. The hotel hosts an annual ginger bread exhibit of structures (some quite large) that were designed by local architects and produced by the culinary staff at the Sheraton. While this is laudable, it brings in hundreds of visitors who made navigating the lobby almost impossible. I would be tempted to avoid this in the future as it was simply annoying. Only other inconvenience was the lobby bar being closed for our first two days while the floor was refinished. It reopened eventually, so not really a big deal. December 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JackApple Good start bad finish Good start, great check in but my keys didn't work twice, one trip up with bags and stuck, second trip key worked. Third day no room service/turndown as requested. too busy to complain this time :) The facility and staff were great besides that. June 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by KayK Worst stay Ever Disgusting. My room was never cleaned EVER. When I complained about it I was told it would be cleaned the next day and it was not. Wastebaskets overflowing. Out of Kleenex. Out of coffee. I never put that little tag the door. I feel it was absolutely disgusting. I paid over $250 a day! I will never stay there again. June 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SNLW Top notch, but... This is a high quality hotel. However, staff responsiveness is not the best. We called two days in a row to complain about our room air conditioning not working with no response. Only the third day, when we complained again, did we get a response that "yes, there's a problem". We did not want to change to another room (too complicated to pack and unpack) so they gave us a $100 credit. Very reasonable -- but still, no reason for a 2 day delay in responding and/or fixing a serious issue. Otherwise, a really excellent hotel. May 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by vafedor great room with "green" options My room had a decent view of downtown Seattle. The bed was very comfortable. I was pleased to see I had a small refrigerator I could put water and local purchases in- I didn't take advantage of the "bar" inside the refrigerator. I do wish there was a microwave in the room. One feature I enjoy about SPG is you have the option of "opting out" of linen changes and room servicing daily and get a $5 voucher to use at the hotel. I also like that SPG doesn't automatically deliver a newspaper to your room like some other hotels that automatically charge you for the paper- another "green" feature. April 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris1984 Great except for a few structural things It was a noisy conference weekend but we could never hear the other rooms. Finally a hotel that recognized the need for thick walls. The only downsides were that the quality of the conditioner provided was terrible. My hair felt lifeless. Also, the mini-fridge does not have a freezer portion. Next time they are replacing those, it would be great to have a small freezer portion. Also, there needs to be stairs going from the third to the fourth floors. The elevators got backed up terribly when panels were released. May 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KDS5578 new towels you need new towels, they were very thin and threadbare June 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VancouverGolfer Now I remember why I stay here The Sheraton Seattle has it all: location, amenities, service and quality. Situated in downtown Seattle, you can literally walk (or run if you're into that) to all of the major attractions. The Fitness Centre and Pool are great and the views from the 35th floor are breathtaking. The staff are courteous and SPG members are treated especially well. Overall the quality of stay was fantastic. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BD1305 Hotel Stay The hotel stay was great. i enjoyed the comfort of the room and the view from the window. Everything was in perfect working order. June 16, 2014

Super A Parts-Online Retailer
I was just wondering what online retailer you guys would recommend for small parts for a Super A....gaskets, seals, etc.
Re: Super A Parts-Online Retailer
I use steiner, and some of the advertisers have some A stuff. I found all my stuff through a google search, but do comparison shop, as sometimes the same thing has many different prices. and farmallparts.com.
Know Your Cub, And Your Cub Will Know You.
Re: Super A Parts-Online Retailer
My recommendation is your local auto parts store for engine parts, bearings, seals, gaskets, tune up kits, etc.. Items not stocked are usually delivered around 2 PM the following day.
I try to buy locally, support the local economy. The local New Holland dealer handles IH parts if you know the part number.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Super A Parts-Online Retailer
Agree with Eugene. A decent auto parts store can get a lot of the basic stuff if you don't have a caseIH dealer close.

CATEGORIES MoviesMay 4 is a very special holiday for geeks around the world. The theatrical release date of "The Aveng -- no you newb, today is all about "Star Wars" Day! Those Marvel superheroes may be the new kids on the block, but this day will forever belong to George Lucas and his sci-fi epic set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
But how exactly does one celebrate "Star Wars" Day? Moviefone has put together a very special guide to help you get through this celebration of the Force. And since 2012 marks the 35th anniversary of the beginning of the Jedi Saga, we've decided to give you a Boss Nass-sized list, detailing 35 unique and hilarious ways to celebrate "Star Wars" Day.
May the fourth be with you!
1. Watch the Star Wars Kid for the 832nd time.
2. Read what happened to "Star Wars Kid," after his video went viral.
3. Track down a box of C-3PO's cereal:
4. Find E.T.'s cameo in "The Phantom Menace."
5. Admire the classic stylings of iconic movie poster artist Drew Struzan.
6. Close your eyes, randomly click on a "Featured article" on the Wookiepedia reference site. Memorize everything on that page.
7. Like Yoda for the entire day, you speak.
8. Be a hipster and go around saying: "Yeah, I liked 'Star Wars' better when it was 'The Hidden Fortress.' It's Japanese, you've probably never heard of it."
9. Get a temporary version of this tattoo. Or a real one if you're feeling hardcore.
10. Get your groove on with the Disco version of the "Star Wars" theme.
11. If you go out to eat and the restaurant doesn't have what you're craving, react accordingly.
12. Watch the opening credits for the "Ewoks" saturday morning cartoon. Shake your head in disgust.
13. Upstage your hipster friend and go around saying: "Yeah, I liked 'Star Wars' better when it was 'Flash Gordon.' It's vintage and a movie serial, you've probably never heard of it."
14. Show some respect for the man, Ralph McQuarrie.
15. Before passing through it, wave your hand across any automatically-opening door.
16. Pick a fight with a Klingon.
17. Remember that Jake Lloyd was eight-years-old when he filmed "The Phantom Menace" and cut him some slack.
18. Check out the "Tag & Bink" comic series, a hilarious adventure about the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of the "Star Wars" universe. Then make "Star Wars"-Shakespeare comparisons with reckless abandon!
19. Confirm to your non-"SW" fans that, yes, he really was named Porkins.
20. Add MC Chris's "Fette's Vette" to your playlist, for crying out loud!
21. Bid on this Han Solo Pog Slammer.
22. Stay up 'til 11, find out how to fight the frizzies.
23. Get out the needle and thread; try to recreate this amazing Death Star Cosplay from Jennifer Landa.
24. Steal the super-secretive Holocron continuity database from Lucas Licensing and hold it for ransom.
25. Spot all the Easter Eggs in this incredible picture from the mega-talented Ulises Farinas:
26. Turkish Star Wars? Turkish Star Wars! 27. Write fan-fiction about Timothy Zahn; get into vicious arguments about its validity. 28. Ponder if this performance by the Icy Hot Club is the coolest cover of the Cantina Band song:
29. Fly to France, have a "Star Wars"-themed burger.
30. Watch the bizarrely hilarious ninety minute Red Letter Media video review of "The Phantom Menace."
31. Take pride in the fact that you didn't need to look up that "frizzies" reference in suggestion #22.
32. Get an early start on your Life Day gift shopping.
33. If you're embarrassed by any photos from your past, just go and change them all, refusing to release the originals.
34. Mount a protest outside your local cineplex, attacking "The Avengers" for stealing the May 4 thunder.
35. Watch Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the premiere for "Attack of the Clones." And laugh and laugh and laugh...

February 21, 2013 8:58 AM Jacob Lopez 0 You can read all of our PlayStation 4 coverage here. It's real. The PlayStation 4 is no longer a rumor even if we don't know what it looks like. Sony's decision to announce a new console four months before the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), a game industry trade show that takes place in Los Angeles every June, means that the PS4 gets the gaming public's full attention. It's not competing for the spotlight against rivals Microsoft and Nintendo. Gamers were watching closely. GamesBeat gathered a handful of reactions from Twitter and popular gaming forum NeoGAF to gauge the Internet response to "Panty Raid" engines and Square Enix's uneventful announcement, among other points of interest. NeoGAF didn't seem impressed with Knack: Sony didn't show off the console, and fake Kaz Hirai, a parody Twitter account of the president and CEO of the Sony Corporation, has something to say about that: I am proud to announce the PS4 is the worlds first invisible game console!— CEO Kaz Hirai (@KazHiraiCEO) February 21, 2013 In the minutes leading up to the event, fans were tweeting about their expectations: I'm expecting lots of Vidya games and 599 US Dollars. #PS4— Hector Ascencio (@Doc703) February 20, 2013 I thought it would be appropriate to watch the PS4 launch on the PS3 but that doesn't seem to be possible.

Around the Horn
Matt Williams
The final outs have been recorded not only on this past baseball season, but on the first decade of North Shore high school hardball in the new millennium. Which begs the loaded question: Which local team deserves the title 'Program of the Decade'?
Three local powerhouses qualified for the state tournament every season from 2000-09: St. John's Prep, Peabody and Swampscott. Two other programs, Danvers and Masconomet, made it in nine of 10 seasons — a remarkable achievement, but just below the bar set by the abovementioned cream of the crop.
Let's breakdown some arguments and evidence for and against each of the three powerhouse programs:
CHAMPIONSHIPS: The reason they play the game. St. John's Prep boasts a sterling 30-9 state tournament record, including the 2000 Division 1 state title and North championships in 2002 and 2006. They have two more North final appearances to their credit and won at least one tournament game every season this decade.
The Tanners were 17-10 in the state tourney, with the lone hardware a North title in 2004. They lost in the North final on three other occasions, but faltered near the end of the decade and haven't won a postseason game since 2007.
Swampscott won back-to-back Division 3 North titles in 2002 and 2003, and went a combined 20-10 in the postseason during the last decade.
Edge: Clearly St. John's Prep, compounded by the fact that they're 2-1 against Peabody in the tourney. Nobody wants to play the Eagles in June (unless you have Jeff Allison on the hill, as Peabody did in arguably The Game of the Decade, the Tanners' 2-1 win in the North semifinals in 2003).
OVERALL RECORD: In total regular season play from 2000-09, Peabody clocks in at 151-48 (.759), St. John's Prep is 141-57 (.712) and Swampscott has been 131-65 (.668).
Incidentally, Danvers has the best record of the decade at 167-38 (.814) — and that's including their 15 losses in 20 games this spring.
Edge: The Tanners, slightly.
STAR POWER: What was in the water in Peabody in the early '80s? Four Tanner City natives born in that era are playing professional baseball — though the most successful of the bunch is a 2003 St. John's alum.
The San Diego Padres' Matt Antonelli gives the Prep a big boost as the only player to appear in a Major League game. But his Triple-A status is matched by 2002 Peabody High grad Mark Shorey, who is in the St. Louis Cardinals system and hitting .317 for the Memphis Redbirds.
The Tanners have two more minor leaguers: much-talked about first round pick Jeff Allison, currently pitching in Single-A for the Jupiter (Fla.) Marlins; and 2004 grad Ryan Moorer, who is in Double-A in the Seattle Mariners' system.
St. John's Prep has another notch on its belt in 2001 product Jake Marsello, who played in the Chicago Cubs' system, and recent draftee Mike Yastrzemski.
The Big Blue are not to be forgotten: Tim Kiely was lights out in his first Double-A start this past Monday and enjoyed a very strong spring in his first season for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Edge: Peabody. Quantity over quality, especially considering that for all intents and purposes Shorey has matched Antonelli with half the fanfare. Garrett Greer (2000) was also drafted, and though a disappointment overall Allison is the area's highest overall draft pick at 16th in 2003.
COLLEGE PROSPECTS: Besides those mentioned above, the Prep has sent Chris Carmain and Peter Castoldi to Division 1 Northeastern, in addition to Jeff DeCarlo to Michigan and Conor Burke to Brown. For Peabody, the list is highlighted by UMass Amherst stars Bryan Garrity and Kyle Multner. For Swampscott, Hunter Gordon is headed to Division 1 Boston College, and Jason Blydell went to Dartmouth.
That doesn't even begin to delve into the throng of players from all three schools that have excelled in Division 2 and 3. Just off the top of our heads, for St. John's: Reid Auger (Bowdoin), Matt Sullivan (Trinity), Trevor Manzi (Roger Williams); for Peabody: Matt Sucharewicz (St. A's), Bobby Celentano (Salem State), Mark Sakelakos (UMass-Lowell); For Swampscott: Peter Kinchley (Middlebury).
Edge: St. John's Prep, boasting quality and quantity across all 10 years.
CONSISTENCY: Getting to the state tournament 10 straight seasons is enough consistency to satisfy most critics, but to settle this debate we're going to have to ratchet up the magnification on the old microscope.
St. John's has the steadiest hand, as Pat Yanchus guided the Eagles every step of the way. Both the Tanners and Big Blue underwent controversial coaching changes in the middle of the decade. Ed Nizwantowski was forced out at Peabody in 2004 — fresh off a Division 1 North title — and Frank DeFelice was likewise pushed out of Swampscott after the 2005 season.
All the credit in the world goes to the Tanners' Mark Bettencourt and the Big Blue's T.J. Baril for making sure these legendary programs didn't go off track. But Swampscott's win total has fallen off recently as they've lost nine games in four of the last five years.
Peabody's consistency dips in the playoffs — both they and Swampscott went one-and-done twice. St. John's never has, and in fact failed to win at least two games in the tourney only once from 2000-09.
Edge: The Prep. A state title in a "down year" (13-7 in 2000) and winning only one tournament game is the worst you've done? That's consistency defined.
THE VERDICT: Mitigating factors such as public schools against private schools and Division 1 vs. Division 3 aside, St. John's Prep takes it by the slimmest of margins. Peabody has a few more wins and more players who have gone on to make their living playing baseball. But St. John's has the one thing the Tanners lack — the 2000 state title.
Ultimately, that's why they play the games. The Eagles have four big trophies; Peabody only has one.
Who do you think is the best program from 2000-2009? Vote on our blog at http://blogs.salemnews.com/nssports.
Ipswich's Jimmy Cadogan settled on a college baseball career at Clark University, preferring the more laid-back nature of hardball compared to the 24-hour-a-day commitment most college football programs ask for.
Though he's a solid pitcher, Cadgoan projects as an outfielder because his natural speed and agility can help him get to balls that others simply can't track down.
"He has tools," said Ipswich coach Gardy O'Flynn. "Jimmy's such a raw athlete that with the emphasis they'll put on things at the next level, he's only going to get better."
No shortage of locals graced the EMass All-Star team, which played the stars of the western part of the state Tuesday afternoon at Fraser Field in Lynn. Chris Carmain of St. John's Prep got the save by sitting down the last six batters as the North toppled the West, 5-2. Masco's Chris Splinter and Beverly's Peter Kallas each drove in runs while North Shore Tech's Ryan Mahan pitched a scoreless inning.
Swampscott star Hunter Gordon started the game on the hill and threw two shutout innings.
Beverly High drops to Division 2 for baseball next year and, to be honest, it should help the Panthers make deeper runs into the state tournament.
Beverly High was always on the very low end of the enrollment spectrum for Division 1 anyways, and the fact that Division 1 tourney games are contested over nine innings is utterly ridiculous.
There's obviously nothing wrong with nine-inning baseball. But with the exception of one league, Massachusetts teams play seven inning contests all season. To make a fundamental change when the playoffs start makes no sense. Play nine all year — or not at all.

West Rusk Independent School District says it is still working out scholarship money for the class of 2013 to attend East Texas Baptist University.
In May, it was announced that a fund was being set up to provide full scholarships to any West Rusk student who wished to attend East Texas Baptist University.
Since then, there has been confusion with the scholarships after parents received tuition bills from ETBU.
Officials say they are meeting with the benefactor who donated the money for the scholarships and hope to have the details worked out soon. They say they expect the money to come in time for the July 31 tuition deadline.

Obama's 'Truth Team' Features MSNBC's Ed Schultz Trashing Mitt Romney
By Noel Sheppard | April 25, 2012 | 16:50
Just how in bed with Barack Obama is MSNBC?
On Wednesday, the President's campaign website - under the hysterical rubrick of "Truth Team" aka "Keeping GOP Honest" - published a video featuring Ed Schultz trashing presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
Mitt Romney says he wants to extend low interest rates for Americans with student loans. But his policies not only cut Pell Grants—they also lock in the higher interest rates for student loans. Take a look at what college costs would look like under Romney, and then spread the word to your friends.
The video is called "Mitt Romney Versus Reality: Student Loans Edition."
After a clip of the former Massachusetts Governor saying that he supports extending the current low interest rates on student loans, the video moved to one of Schultz refuting Romney's view with information from - wait for it! - the Huffington Post.
The video concluded with the subtitle, "Reality: College would be more expensive under Mitt Romney."
So now the nation's biggest media shills for Obama are going to be tapped by his campaign to supposedly tell the truth to voters.
Does the White House REALLY want to associate itself with a man that has said or done the following in the past twelve months?
- 'So What' if Trayvon Martin Broke George Zimmerman's Nose?'
- 'Bastard,' 'Slut,' 'Dirthole' Conservatives
- 'You Better Be Packing Iron' to Defend Yourselves
- Equates Pepper-Spraying Occupy Protesters to Rodney King Beating
- 'Damn Political Phony' Marco Rubio Is 'Not a True American'
- Edits Rick Perry to Falsely Accuse Him of Making Racist Remark About Obama
- Boehner Is a Lazy, Short-Fused Liar Who's 'More Comfortable On a Bar Stool'
- Badly Mispronounces 'Schlafly' in Segment Mocking Palin and Bachmann's IQ
- Claims He 'Broke the Story on Larry Craig' He Didn't Break
- Calls Laura Ingraham a 'Right-wing Slut' and 'Talk Slut'
- 'Gingrich Wants to Cut Food Stamps to Give Tax Breaks to Old White Millionaires'
- Sued by NBC Employee Alleging Fraud, 'Anti-Labor Practices'
- Calls John Boehner and Paul Ryan Liars Moments Before Lying About Medicare
- 'The Republican Party Stands For Racism'
- There's a Vast Right Wing Network Spreading Reagan's Ideas to Destroy Middle Class
- His Favorite Senator Is Congress's Only Avowed Socialist
Is this REALLY the kind of person you want doing fact-checks for your campaign?
If your name is Barack Obama, the answer apparently is "Yes."

#7 More Truth: Susan Sarandon Blacklisted!
Submitted by berlet98 on Wed, 04/25/2012 - 5:56pm.
Susan Sarandon Blacklisted!
You would think that with his past, sleazey connections President Barack Hussein Obama would be ultra-tolerant of fellow leftists-liberals-radicals but that's not always the case, especially when they become an embarrassment in an election year.
It was perfectly acceptable in 2008 for Obama to be bosom buddies with revolutionists William Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright, and other professed anti-Americans. Most voters knew about those illicit associations–or should have known– yet they elected Obama anyway.
When Obama appointed to high offices such reprobates and revolutionaries such as Harold Koh, Kevin Jennings, John Holdren, Van Jones, Dawn Johnson, Mark Lloyd, Chai Feldblum, and a slew of other sick fruitcakes, it seemed obvious that our president didn't give a damn what Americans thought of his extremist background or of his far out nominees and his supporters didn't seem to give a damn, either.
That view now turns out to be incorrect. Obama is in fact occasionally selective as to who is awarded the Obama imprimatur and who is consigned to executive oblivion. Apparently, the aging actress and radical poster "girl," Susan Sarandon is now on the Anointed One's S-list.
Denied a White House security clearance, Sarandon also claims her telephone has been tapped and that the government maintains a dossier on her. It all sounds like paranoia except that her whining might have a basis in fact. . .

#12 One more time...
Submitted by Slyrr on Wed, 04/25/2012 - 7:18pm.
Do any of us need reminding? On the day Obama was elected, Chris Matthews threw himself in front of the nearest camera he could find to declare to the world that it was 'his job' to make Obama's administration look good.
Chris Matthews and MSNBC are joined at the hip. So when Matthews says that he's taking money from Obama in exchange for favorable coverage, you can bet your patookus that everyone else there is doing the exact same thing.
Is it a distortion to say it thusly? Technically, no. If making Obama look good is Matthews' 'job', then by definition, he is Obama's employee. His 'job' is what he does for a living. Meaning, the work that he gets paid for. Therefore, Matthews' 'job' consists of giving Obama favorable coverage (making him look good - by his own words), for which he takes money as a reward for said work.
And when you listen to all the other people on this foul network, there's little doubt that they are in the same boat. They are saying the most ridiculous things in order to cover up for Obama's glaring and obvious failures. While at the same time they are saying the most hateful and outrageous things to smear anyone who dares to make Obama 'look bad'.
Mark my words, 'Klan rally' is going to be TAME language from this network the closer it gets to November, and the more it looks like Obama will be cast out. Matthews' and Schultz' jobs are on the line too. Once Obama is cast out, their little money laundering scheme will collapse and MSNBC will go out of business.

Mah Buddy Barry, aka Barack (Part Two)
(This be the second part after the first part on mah buddy Barry. You can read dat first part here if yo wants to and if yo dont wants to who cares! http://bit.ly/I9LTCJ.)
In One ah wuz talking bout all dose emails ah gets from my bud Barry an his homies moochin fo money. Dey piss me off. Dis is a lil differant.
On Monday, Jimmy, (dat would be Jim Messina, head honky honcho fo da "Obama for America" campaign), emailed me for "input," my sugestions in a survey on how we can make shure Barry gets fo more years in the White House.
We damn well don't want dat moron Mormon guy moving on up to our place with all his ugly wives and his jerk-off ideas about people working for a livin and not survivin on food stamps. Do we?
On top of everything, ah heard dat Mit Romney believes in poligmy tho ah dont see nothin wrong with having a haarem of bitches. We all do dat, right? Why he would marry them tho is stupid.
Barrys fam back where he wuz born in kenya all had a bunch of wives–da men folk that is–and his daddy liked wut we call VARIETY, if yo catch my meaning and no one made a big fuss about dat!
As my new bud Jimmy put it, "Together, we've done some amazing work building this campaign so far. But I know that we're in for a tough fight ahead, and we'll need your voices and leadership if we want to win on Election Day."
Ahm not exactly sure what "amazin work" has been acomplished and I ain't been a leader since my dayz in the hood but, hey, if Barry's boy Jimmy says so it must be so and if my boy Barry needs me, I'm there! But not there with money!!!! Dat boy has enuff of dat!!
As for fights, ah agrees with Barry when he said if da honky bring a knife to a fight, we brings a gun even tho we always have a knife on us, as dey say, just in case. Dat was good advise tho.
You can hep Barry and Jimmy by completin Jimmy's survey. It has questions on what we think about the Buffet Rule, "taking the fight to al-Qaeda," and "Ending 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' ". (http://bit.ly/Jqdb7P)
Look, ah never pay any taxes but if dose dumbass Repubs would jest stop being assholes and pass dat Buffet Rule, Waren would pay as much as his secratary and we could run the gubmint for a while, a few days mebbe but a few days is a few days right? . . .

I understand all folks can change their minds!! Romney listens, and if over 50 percent of his electorate has a view contrary to his, then he must join that view!! The rule then would be to support the majority view until his term is over!! He can then go back to his own view and no one cares!! He should then, in a pre election speech raise his right hand, and swear to uphold the majority of his voters, Not because of the PACS and huge donations!! this would put lobbyists out of a job!! NO REASON FOR THEM TO LOBBY FOR WHAT THEY KNOW THEY WILL GET FOR FREE. Not the views that got him elected governor of a very left STATE. He did the right thing to get elected governor, and he should do the same when it is AMERICA, not just Mass! He will be the leader of my country, and I concede even my views, if that is what my neighbors desire. Most often I will agree, and the views that i don't agree with, just my tough luck. OF AND FOR THE PEOPLE!! Obama never considers all of us, just those who agree with him, even if it is a view held by only the union leadership and their members that follow those views!! Union views are the minority, and alone did not get him elected, Watch Wis. and the right to work states! ROMNEY: You will no longer have to listen to the few, but rather the masses!! IF YOU DO YOU WILL HAVE 2 TERMS, NOT 1 LIKE OBAMA!! Unions have spent so much, only to lose. They continue to loose members, and are so stupid that don't get it.

APC Cork prides itself on the motto "sustainable living from the ground up" and strives to be a sustainable, and environmentally-conscious, flooring option for customers. Cork flooring uses the material extracted from the bark of the cork oak tree, which was designed by Mother Nature to protect the tree during its average 500-year lifespan. Not only is the bark fire resistant, unaffected by temperature changes, and impervious to 38 species of insects (including the termite) but this material is also perfect for cork underlayment and cork tiles for your home. APC Cork uses only the bark of the tree and the tree itself is never felled. By using cork, APC Cork keeps the forest alive and the habitat undisturbed.

Boston, MA—A recent study by the Center for Connected Health reported that daily text messages (TMs) providing medication reminders and educational information about atopic dermatosis (a type of eczema) improved treatment adherence and self-care behaviors for patients.
At the conclusion of the 6-week study, 76% of patients reported a significant improvement in skin severity and 98% reported an improvement in at least one self-care behavior due to the TM reminders. Further, user feedback on the TM system was positive, as 88% and 92% of patients found the reminder TMs and educational TMs helpful. The pilot study—the first ever to combine medication reminders and educational information—involved 25 adolescent and adult patients at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and was published in the journal Dermatology Research and Practice.
"Text messaging is a cost-effective way to deliver short, concise information to patients over a long period of time and, because it is automated, requires no extra effort from the provider," said Joseph C. Kvedar, MD, Director, Center for Connected Health and coauthor of the study. "Our study also indicates that patients are willing and ready to integrate technology, such as text messaging, into their care. It can also help to improve communication between patients and providers."

All was not well, however. The Israelites had been disobeying God, so God allowed Jabin, a king of Canaan, to oppress them. Jabin's general was named Sisera, and he intimidated the Hebrews with 900 iron chariots, powerful tools of war that struck terror into the hearts of foot soldiers.
Deborah, acting on guidance from God, sent for the warrior Barak, telling him the Lord had commanded Barak to gather 10,000 men from the tribes of Zebulun and Napthtali and lead them to Mount Tabor. Deborah promised to lure Sisera and his chariots into the Kishon Valley, where Barak would defeat them.
Instead of fully trusting God, Barak refused to go unless Deborah accompanied him to inspire the troops. She gave in but prophesied that the credit for the victory would go not to Barak but to a woman.
The two armies clashed at the foot of Mount Tabor. The Lord sent rain and the River Kishon swept away some of General Sisera's men. His heavy iron chariots got bogged down in mud, rendering them ineffective. Barak chased the retreating enemy to Harosheth Haggoyim, where the Jews slaughtered them. Not a man of Jabin's army was left alive.
In the confusion of the battle, Sisera had deserted his army and ran to the camp of Heber the Kenite, near Kedesh. Heber and King Jabin were allies. As Sisera staggered in, Heber's wife, Jael, welcomed him into her tent.
The exhausted Sisera asked for water, but instead Jael gave him curdled milk, a drink that would make him drowsy. Sisera then asked Jael to stand guard at the tent's door and turn away any pursuers.
When Sisera fell asleep, Jael sneaked in, carrying a long, sharp tent peg and a hammer. She drove the peg through the general's temple into the ground, killing him. In a while, Barak arrived. Jael took him into the tent and showed him the body of Sisera.
After the victory, Barak and Deborah sang a hymn of praise to God found in Judges 5, called the Song of Deborah. From that point on, the Israelites grew stronger until they destroyed King Jabin. Thanks to Deborah's faith, the land enjoyed peace for 40 years.
Accomplishments of Deborah:Deborah served as a wise judge, obeying God's commands. In a time of crisis, she trusted Jehovah and took steps to defeat King Jabin, Israel's oppressor.
Strengths of Deborah:She followed God faithfully, acting with integrity in her duties. Her boldness came from relying on God, not herself. In a male-dominated culture, Deborah did not let her power go to her head but exercised authority as God guided her.
Life Lessons:Your strength comes from the Lord, not yourself. Like Deborah, you can have victory in life's worst times if you cling tightly to God.
Hometown:In Canaan, possibly near Ramah and Bethel.
Referenced in the Bible:Judges 4 and 5.
Occupation:Judge, prophetess.
Family Tree:Husband - Lappidoth
Key Verses:
Judges 4:9
"Very well," Deborah said, "I will go with you. But because of the way you are going about this, the honor will not be yours, for the LORD will hand Sisera over to a woman." (NIV)
Judges 5:31
So may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But may they who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength." Then the land had peace forty years. (NIV)

The oldest privately-owned maritime training school in the United States, Crawford Nautical School has been training mariners from all areas of sea-going life -- deep sea, coastal and inland waters; Masters, Mates, Pilots and Engineers for over 90 years.
Requirements, applications, examination information, policy statements as well as other resources are found at the Coast Guard's National Maritime Center, the portal for merchant mariner credentialing in the United States.

According to Dorothy Parker, "the cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity." Our father is in his 90th year of incessant inquiry. "Don't you think someone should look into this," he asks constantly. We've invited him to do just that here.
In an industry where it is possible to dance on ceilings and lean against floors, there are bound to be questions. Every week we will post some here -- along with our best answers.
Extension of deadlines for applications due to government shutdown.
The USCG Deck and Examination Question banks, removed from public viewing several years ago, have once again been made available in pdf.
Deck Examination Question Bank
Engine Examination Question Bank
The USCG has issued Policy Letter (No. 11-15) describing policy and forthcoming regulations allowing certain mariners without a valid Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) to acquire and renew a Merchant Mariner Credential. A more detailed description of the changes and how they affect individual mariners is available on the National Maritime Site.
With the advent of "Google Alerts" and news media hypervigilant for misfortune, the list of marine casualties seems to have grown longer in the past few years.
This is probably because in the past, maritime incidents were only newsworthy if they involved passenger deaths and/or oil spills. In fact, accidents do happen more than we think, as this log will attest.
Crawford Nautical provides assistance to mariners trying to determine what credential they might be eligible for, what authority their current credential confers, what might be the best way to upgrade a credential. Please email us at Credential Assistance if you would like help.
Dangerous Liquid Cargo Course
Crawford Nautical School is now offering a Dangerous Liquid Cargo (Tankerman Familiarization) Course. The class meets USCG and STCW requirements for Tankerman P-I-C, Tankerman Barge, Tankerman Assistant and Tankerman Engineer. The next scheduled class is March 24 to March 28, 2014.

Bowling Green State University and the BGSU Faculty Association, the university's faculty union, have announced they have reached an agreement in principle on the union's first contract.
Details of the agreement are being finalized and must be ratified by the union's membership and approved by the BGSU Board of Trustees.
"We're pleased to have reached a mutually beneficial agreement with the Faculty Association," said BGSU President Mary Ellen Mazey. "This will allow us to move forward in concert with the faculty to achieve our goals as an institution."
BGSU Faculty Association President David Jackson believes it is a fair first contract for union members and the university.
"After 25 hours of sort of marathon negotiations on Friday and Saturday, we came to an agreement that contains a lot of important protections for faculty," said Jackson.
The contract includes raises, tenure and promotion protections, plus terms to benefit the 100 faculty members whose jobs are being cut this fall.
Both the university and the Faculty Association agree the process was long, but the outcome was worth it.
"We're just extremely pleased that we've been able to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with the Faculty Association and we look forward to moving forward," said Dave Kielmeyer, BGSU senior communications director.
The Faculty Association says coming to this agreement will benefit the everyone.
"It's been an incredibly long and difficult process, but at the end of the day, with compromise on both sides, we were able to get a contract that's good for the faculty, and frankly good for the university, and most importantly, good for the students," said Jackson.
Jackson and Mazey expressed appreciation for the work of Robert Stein, the mediator appointed by the State Employee Relations Board, to facilitate negotiations. Stein is a BGSU alumnus.
The Faculty Association is expected to take the agreement to its membership in early April.
BGSU faculty will need to vote on the contract before it can be approved by the BGSU Board of Trustees. The board will likely hold a special meeting to vote on the agreement. The next regularly scheduled board meeting is May 3.

Big Society thriving in Winchester, says MP Steve Brine (From Andover Advertiser)

Big Society thriving in Winchester, says MP Steve Brine
1:13pm Saturday 28th September 2013 in Winchester
WINCHESTER MP Steve Brine said the much-derided Big Society was alive and well in the city.
Addressing the annual general meeting of the City of Winchester Trust, Mr Brine said few places could match Winchester for its community spirit.
He said there were 531 registered charities in the city compared to 326 in Bath which is more than twice the size.
"I would argue Winchester has a very big society but we can always do more."
Mr Brine said civil society will become more important as the size of 'the state' shrinks.
He is supporting the idea of the 'Winchester Penny' where shoppers will be encouraged to donate change from purchases to the nearest pound.
The proceeds would go into a community chest to be handed out by a local board of trustees.
The meeting also saw the launch of Winchester Old City New Views, a snapshot of the city through the eyes of teenagers.
Four teenagers read poems – Lucy Strange from The Westgate (The Beggar), Isabella Symes from St Swithun's who read Lydia Rosen's Wolvesey Castle, Matthew Roller, from Winchester College (Everyman Cinema) and Harry Talks (The Winchesters Rifle Brigade!) from Kings'.
There were some 250 entries and 54 were chosen for the book published this month by the trust and available from local bookshops priced £9.99.
Trust president, Prof Joy Carter said: "It is a beautiful piece of work."
Richard Baker, member of the project and editorial team, said: "The trust felt the need to re-engage with young people, and invited them to illustrate and write about any aspect of life in Winchester of their choice. The book, offers an imaginative and perceptive snapshot in time of Winchester through the eyes and minds of young people."
Concerns were expressed by the dwindling membership of the trust, down to 682 on March 31. Treasurer Peter Radcliffe blamed "age" for the decline.

Big Society? Right at the end of the article - contradicting everything that's come before it : Winchester Trust membership down from 682 to 31(age blamed!).That's a decline in membership of 95.45%.Wow, forgive my apparent cynicism but did they forget to recruit non- deathbed members of the Big Society? This clearly suggests a very broken and elitist society.

The 8th annual Sno-Kona Pond Skim at Mt. Hood Meadows, presented by Kona Brewing, is scheduled for Saturday, April 26th! Snowboarders and skiers, get ready to launch yourself across 100 feet of frigid water! All competitors must be 21 or over. The cost to participate is $30 per entrant, which includes a complimentary Kona beach towel and celebratory Kona brew. Ski poles are not allowed in the competition.
All participants will receive one attempt to cross the pond successfully. All participants who successfully skim the length of the pond during the first round qualifiers will advance to the Finals, where skimmers can receive a total of 50 points, based on three elements - whether you make it across, your costume, and style/crowd reaction. In the event of ties, the judges will deliberate and award the overall winner.
Participants can receive a maximum of 50 points, and will be judged on the following during the final round:
• Making it across the 2nd time - 10 points
• Costume - 20 points (scale of 1-20)
• Style and Crowd Response - 20 points (scale of 1-20)
With this scoring system, it will be possible to win the Sno-Kona Pond Skim without making it across the pond in the Finals. Judges will be encouraged to judge costumes on craftsmanship, creativity and time spent putting the costume together. It's not a race to see who can wear the skimpiest costume or shock the crowd.
We'll have $500 cash for top prize, as well as prizes for 2nd and 3rd place, best costume, best splash, and more!
Online registration is closed. You can still register for the Pond Skim the morning of Saturday, April 26th, from 8-9:30 AM in the Alpenstube Restaurant.

The Costs of Going Green
Carbon costs will reshape the generation fleet and affect retail rates.
to about 1.2 million GWh, as existing plants are retired in increasing numbers. At $80/ton, production from existing coal plants in 2030 would fall off the cliff by 85 percent, perhaps just reaching 300 million GWh, if such plants generate at all by then. If gas is less expensive, this conclusion is even stronger.
In sum, what happens to CO 2 prices, whether allowances are granted to existing coal facilities for an extended period to cover their emissions, and what happens to any allowance allocation if a unit retires, all make a huge difference in the mix of generation from existing plants, and the cost of that generation as well. If these plants dispatch less, this in turn affects the amount and type of new capacity required.
Impacts on New Generation
For new generation plants, there also are key break points in evaluating the cost impacts of carbon regulation. However, the impact on the types of new capacity that get built is more dramatic than the impact on existing capacity, as the levelized costs of technologies tend to be grouped more closely together than existing plants, so the CO 2 price has a relatively larger impact. Baseload options and wind facilities have the most impact on providing new sources of power, and they would be the most affected by CO 2 prices. 13
The cost of the new plant clearly is a key factor in making the best decision on plant development. Construction and commodity costs have escalated sharply in the past few years ( i.e., the cost of steel had risen about 70 percent until the early fall of the past year, although it has fallen more recently as a result of the world-wide recession).
The data and projections in Figures 2 through 5 combine into one single levelized figure ($/MWh) all the elements of such costs, including: the capital and financing cost of the plant; the cost of the fuel; the cost of O&M; and the cost of traditional emissions controls (SOx and NOx). For example, Figures 2 indicates that combining all these factors, the current levelized average cost of building and operating a new combined-cycle plant over its lifetime is just under $80/MWh, while the levelized cost of building and operating an uncontrolled (for CO 2) coal plant is about $70/MWh (in 2006 dollars). This suggests that with no carbon controls or regulatory objections, coal plants would be built ahead of gas from a purely economic perspective. However, as the price of CO 2 rises, the cost of generation from coal increases faster than the cost of generation from gas, since coal's emissions of CO 2 are higher due to both the carbon content of the fuel and the relative efficiencies (heat rates) of the units.
Figure 2 also shows that the break point between building coal and combined-cycle plants (under the model's expected case) is about $15/ton. The higher the cost of CO 2, the greater the gap, such that at $50/ton of coal, it's about $13/MWh cheaper, or about 10-percent cheaper, for a plant

It's really hard to get one's head around the so-called 'open' concept of Mahiki. Although it constantly advertised itself as having one-of-a-kind open door venue, yet, it is not that easy to get in, even on a weekday! Over the recent few years, Mahiki has built its rep thanks to photos of young royals and royals-to-be (or wannabe) and celebrities stumbling out of the venue with a big grin (as they obviously know that they will be papped!) – shows mere mortals like us that Mahiki is the place to be. And if you visit their website, again they play on the 'open' door policy. But the reality is, the person at the door is paid to make ensure the 'right' clientele can enter and if lucky get a table for some very basic tasting food. And also if you dont have lots off £££ to spend on drinks, then don't bother, as it is really a cocktail bar so you must be willing to spend almost half of your monthly wages to have a good time. And boys & girls, don't forget to dress for the camera ;-) .

RE: photos
Sure, some of the memorials are where I only put pictures on and didn't create the memorial. But anything I've done, sure. Cat

RE: Felix Halff
Hi -- nice to meet you. Unfortunately, I can't give the permission requested because I obtained the photographs under license from the University of Texas at Austin's Halff family archive, and the license is very strict against any further forms of distribution, because these photographs are unpublished. You would have to get permission from the actual copyright owner, and I don't have that information -- it's something you'd have to pursue through the University of Texas library. Best regards, Greg Guillot

Hiram Edson updated photos
Hello again, I went back today to "dig" around and got most of the head stone to show. It appears it broke in two halves. I also emailed the cemetery to see who else is buried in the family plot. Have not heard back yet. Hope the pictures are better!

Hiram Edson (unknown - Nov. 23, 1854)
Hello, I fulfilled your photo request today for Hiram Edson. Unfortunately, his headstone must have fallen years ago and now is being covered with grass. As you can see by the picture I removed some of the grass. I want to go back and remove more dirt and grass, but a police car was at the cemetery taking radar near the road so I did not want to think I was doing any damage! I will post a better picture when I can. Note: There was a gravestone right next to his, but only the base, no name. Maybe a spouse?

RE: Patty Roberts
My GGG Grandfather is Timothy's brother Oliver C Roberts who Married Betsey Harris. Oliver and Betsy are buried about 10 miles from Patty in West Aurburn Cemetery. I can't find much about Hart other than people think he moved to somewhere around Seattle and is buried there. Where do you live? My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com and I am also on Facebook as Alan Roberts. I see you've included William Bradford in your virtual cemetery. I only recently found out I was related to him. Sure disappointed I didn't know that when I was in gradeschool, could have written a better report on the pilgrams.
