LGBT Attorneys
Fried Frank's LGBT Attorney Affinity Group seeks to build upon the Firm's longstanding commitment to recruiting and retaining a diverse community and to increasing understanding of and involvement in the unique issues facing the LGBT community. The Group spearheads several pro bono representation efforts of interest, from groundbreaking family law litigations involving same-sex couples to name-change petitions for transgender clients, and maintains strong relationships with important organizations like Lambda Legal Defense & Education Organization, Immigration Equality and Servicemembers United.
To honor the legacy of Michael Diehl, a Fried Frank corporate associate who died in a tragic swimming accident in 1999 and was known for his dedication to the cause of civil rights for the gay and lesbian community, the Firm established the annual Diehl Civil Rights Forum. Inviting prominent civic leaders to engage the Fried Frank community in a discussion of current civil rights and social justice issues and concerns since 2000 and hosted by our LGBT Attorney Affinity Group, the 2013 Forum, Litigating Love: Same-Sex Marriage and the Supreme Court in 2013, was designed in anticipation of the historic Supreme Court rulings in Windsor v. United States and Hollingsworth v. Perry. The Forum featured attorneys who have been on the front lines of major cases fighting the denial of equal rights to same-sex couples, including George Chauncey, Chair, Department of History, Yale; Craig Benson, Counsel to Edie Windsor in connection with Windsor v. United States and Partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP; James Esseks, Counsel to Edie Windsor in connection with Windsor v. United States and Litigation Director of the American Civil Liberties Union's (ACLU) LGBT & AIDS Project; Susan Sommer, Counsel to Karen Golinski in connection with Golinski v. Office of Personnel Management and Director of Constitutional Litigation at Lambda Legal; and Janson Wu, Counsel in Gill v. Office of Personnel Management and Pedersen v. Office of Personnel Management and staff attorney at Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD).
Fried Frank has also been recognized for six consecutive years by the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, achieving a top rating of 100 percent. The 2014 Corporate Equality Index rated 688 businesses on a scale from 0 to 100 percent on their treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers and investors. Fried Frank's perfect score reflects its policies and practices to protect LGBT employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression, most notably diversity training, and health care and domestic partnership benefits, including tax gross-up benefits to LGBT employees for disparate tax costs related to their coverage of same-sex domestic partners, same-sex spouses and their children.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Several police agencies join in a chase the lead officers through two counties early Thursday morning.
It was supposed to be a simple traffic stop, but that's not the way it ended.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said officers in Stallings tried to pull a car over around 2:30 a.m., when the driver decided to take off at high speeds.
The vehicle lead police through surface streets as well as on freeways at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour.
As the car approached the intersection of Selwyn and Colony Roads, the sedan took the turn a little too shallow, and collided with a brick wall, ending the chase.
Officers swarmed the car, and took the man into custody.
The CMPD said inside the car, there was evidence the driver had been smoking crack. He's also suspected of dealing in drugs.
The car and the wall it collided with sustained a fair amount of damage.
The vehicle itself, didn't belong to the man behind the wheel. Police said it was borrowed at the time. Officers have contacted the owner.

The list soon became a valuable publicity tool, a way for the FBI to increase the heat on those criminals who had proven the most elusive, like folk-hero bank robber Willie Sutton and noted cattle rustler Chester Davenport, who was caught two days after being added to the list. (He was arrested while milking a cow; it is unclear whether the cow had tipped anyone off.) Fugitives generally stay on the list until they are caught or confirmed dead. When a spot opens, the FBI field offices nominate potential replacements.
"To get one of your fugitives on the Top Ten list, you were a salesperson," an ex-FBI agent was quoted as saying in The Encyclopedia of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. "You had to present this person in the most negative light." In order to make the list, they have to be considered dangerous, elusive, and vulnerable to nationwide publicity. It also helps if they're ugly.
Eric Toth, an alleged child pornographer who took Osama bin Laden's spot on the list earlier this year, is a tall, thin dude with a weirdly shaped head and a distinctive mole under his eye. Rape and murder suspect Fidel Urbina, added to the list on June 5, has acne scars on his right cheek. Alexis Flores, wanted for the abduction, rape, and murder of a five-year-old girl, has scars on his forehead and right cheek. Jason Derek Brown, on the list since 2007, is a suspected robber and murderer who sort of looks like Sean Penn.
These fugitives are dangerous, to be sure, but they're hardly the sort of supervillains a layman might expect to find on the Ten Most Wanted list. Then again, "A Few Notorious Louts and Several Other Dangerous Guys with Visible Scars" doesn't have the same ring to it. Eric Toth is a bad guy, undoubtedly, but it's hard to say that he's worse than Randy Yager, a motorcycle gang leader wanted on racketeering charges involving murder and arson, or Daniel Hiers, an ex-cop wanted for molesting a teenager and murdering his wife. Hiers and Yager are both on the U.S. Marshals' 15 Most Wanted List, a similar rundown containing totally different personnel. Both men are relatively normal looking.

on a comment on Keeping Our Eye on the Ball over 7 years ago
So you want to associate yourself with this remark?
We must choose between a candidate that consistently and openly panders to our interests and a candidate that advances many of our issues, but doesn't speak in our language.
Condescend much? Name one issue that Obama 'advances' while not using 'our' language. Coal to liquid subsidies to big coal? Not universal health care?
Seriously, back up this claim.
on a comment on Keeping Our Eye on the Ball over 7 years ago
First of all, there is no 'we' in the netroots. There is no grand council who meets to decide or crown someone. Candidates have to persuade. If they don't they don't get support.
Second of all, it's not clear to me that Obama or Edwards are more or less progressive than Clinton. I get that Edwards is positioning himself that way, and I want to believe it. But I just don't. Clinton was the only candidate at the SEIU forum to attack insurance companies by name. I have no idea what Obama's positioning is, and I don't think he does either.
Third of all, there's no evidence that Obama supporters would be supporting Edwards if Obama weren't in the race, and vice versa. The polling I've seen suggests that Clinton has a lot of 'second choice' support from both Edwards and Obama supporters.
There is a Hillary and not Hillary element to the race, and only one candidate can be the not Hillary. That's what you're trying to say. The problem is that Edwards and Obama must actually work to be the not Hillary. The progressive netroots can't do it for them.
My pet peeve is not when someone unfairly goes after a candidate likes, that's what annoys you. What frustrates me is when someone venerates a candidate above all else and holds the voters or activists responsible for the failures of a candidate. And that's what you're doing here. If you want Obama to be the not-Hillary, then try to persuade him to be the not-Hillary. Passive aggressively hectoring us isn't the way to get there.
I apologize if this seems harsh, it's not meant to. You're very smart and I went through what you're going through now in 2004. The point is that you're operating with the notion that an ideological lens makes sense for the party. I agree with that. But you also assume that either Edwards or Obama sees politics as an ideological contest, and they don't. They should. But like Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, and Bill Clinton, they don't really believe that ideas have power. And so they are making a mess of things, which is why Clinton is winning.
And until one of them steps up, Clinton will continue to dominate. And nothing the grand council of netroots elders do will make a damn bit of difference.
comment on a post Keeping Our Eye on the Ball over 7 years ago
The larger question for progressives is, at what point does the Edwards v. Obama dynamic become self defeating?
Yeah, I know how that whole democracy thing is just so inconvenient sometimes.

PALO ALTO, Calif. —
These general insights make a strong case for Facebook ads. First, according to the study, Facebook ads work. "Of the first 60 campaigns we looked at, 70 percent had a 3X or better return-on-investment — that means that 70 percent of advertisers got back three times as many dollars in purchases as they spent on ads," says Sean Bruich, Facebook's head of measurement platforms and standards. What's more, half of the campaigns showed a 5X return — advertisers got back five times what they spent on Facebook ads.
But the most interesting finding was the total lack of correlation between purchases and clicks. "On average, if you look at people who saw an ad on Facebook and later bought a product, [fewer than] 1 percent had clicked on the ad," Bruich says. In other words, the click doesn't matter; people who click on ads aren't necessarily buying, and people who are buying are almost certainly not clicking.
As Facebook's measurement systems improve, you might even see better ads — one of the eventual goals the system, Bruich says, is to figure out what kinds of ads appeal to what kinds of users, so over time you'll be presented with ads that are less likely to annoy you. And if, as you insist, ads really don't work on you — that you never buy things because of marketing you see on Facebook — it's theoretically possible that Facebook's system would be able to figure that out, too, and maybe the site won't show you any messages.
But that's unlikely. You may not love the ads you see — and you'll still never click on them. But unbeknownst to you, Facebook ads still work on you. Resistance is futile.

PEORIA, Ill -- A place in Peoria's North side where you can go back in time is expanding.
Members of the Wheels o' Time Museum broke ground on a new building. They plan to use it as a workshop and to house an early Ford V-8 exhibit that will be open to the public.
The Ford display will feature rotating displays of vintage Ford vehicles from 1932 to 1953.
Vice President Jack Seamon says as the museum grows, he hopes it might be an alternative to more expensive destinations.
"As the uncertainty of the economy continues to evolve, it might make extended vacation or travel plans for some more reasonable just to stay in Peoria and do this," Seamon said. "We will have many members or many visitors from the area that have not been here before."
Seamon says the new workshop will allow staff to work through the winter on projects. The group estimates the building will be completed by this fall.

Women's Golf Recruit Wins New Mexico State Title
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Incoming women's golf freshman Shania Berger wrapped up her high school career earlier this week with a title at the New Mexico A-AAA State Championship, held at the New Mexico State University Golf Course in Las Cruces.
After opening with an even-par round of 72 on Monday to take a three-shot lead after 18 holes, Berger closed out the two-day event with a round of 73 on Tuesday to take home the championship by two strokes. As a team, Socorro High School tied for the title but fell to second in a one-hole playoff.
"Congratulations to Shania on her Individual Medalist at the New Mexico High School State Championships," said Head Coach Jen Borocz. "This was a great way for her to end her high school career. She has a lot of momentum leading into her summer schedule and will be ready to compete when she arrives here in the fall."
Berger will join Maria Juliana Fueyo as the new members of the Dolphins squad for next season. Jacksonville is coming off an Atlantic Sun Championship in which it tied for fourth place, and returns nearly every key member of the team, including First Team All-Atlantic Sun selection Jessica Welch.

Curriculum for cracking up
Original post made by Sierra Rhodes on May 24, 2013
To swear myself into this honorable position, I promise to be tastefully irreverent and indiscriminately full of mockery--a crusader on a quest for the embarrassing, the clever, the almost Darwin awards, and any video of a cat chasing a laser pointer. I solemnly swear on Monty Python and Mel Brooks that I will uphold my mission to bring silliness to the masses to the best of my ability. So please, Ladies and Gentlemen, leave grumpy faces and Debbie Downers at the metaphorical door, and take your medicine.

The KC Chiefs 2009 overtime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers seems sooo long ago. The Steelers are pretty much the same at key positions, swapping out a couple old pass rushers for a couple young(er) pass rushers. The Chiefs though ... they're pretty different. Matt Cassel's first year, and Todd Haley's, too. Leonard Pope hadn't saved anyone from drowning yet. Chris Chambers made the big play in this game.
Funny though, while Chambers did have the play of the game -- a 61-yard catch and run in overtime to seal the field position for the win -- the ball should've been intercepted on the play before that. Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor had the ball in his hands and somehow dropped it falling to the ground. I forgot all about that.
The other great play in this game was Jamaal Charles' touchdown return, which you can see here.
Enjoy the Chiefs OT victory over the Steelers in the video above.
For all the nuts and bolts of tonight's game, check out this post.

Forbidden Pages: Books Of Illicit Love Thrill, Delight

In all the love stories ever told, has there ever been such a recipe for disaster as in the tale of illicit love? Beginning 3,000 years ago, when Zeus, the married King of the Gods, was gallivanting with all his many mistresses, the message was clear: Unconventional trysts are destined to end badly for all concerned.
But how brightly these love affairs burn during their short span! Heroes become spies as they plot their next tryst, and brief encounters take on this huge intensity, where every moment is lapped up in haste and savored for eternity.

Fire crews were called out to a house fire near Camelback Road and 19th Avenue after neighbors reported hearing explosions Saturday morning.
Smoke billowed high into the sky, filling the street below with a thick haze.
Bright flames engulfed a home on Denton and 21st Avenue in central Phoenix.
By the time I pulled around here it was already engulfed...I pulled onto Denton. I could see into the house, I couldn't believe what I was seeing," said Jackie Fuller, a neighbor.
"It sounded like a muffled explosion, it sounded like the explosion came from the inside," said Dan Fuller, a neighbor.
Witnesses called 911 just after 7 a.m.; Phoenix Fire confirmed what they reported.
"There are preliminary indications by what the structure looks like, with some of the brick walls laying to the outside. There was some type of explosion from the inside blasting outwards," said Phoenix Fire Capt. Tony Mure.
Phoenix Fire tells us that at one point, crews deliberately let the fire burn in the back of the house, where the gas meter is located. They say it was a defensive move so the fire wouldn't continue spread.
"We know the lady really well and we have a lot of connection and now it's burned down...it's like the house is gone with her and it's just sad," said Sinh Lee, a neighbor.
Neighbors tell FOX 10 the house was unoccupied, but was being cared for by the previous owners family. She passed away a few years ago.
They're just glad that no one was hurt as a result of the fire.
Homes near the burning structure were evacuated as a precaution and about a dozen homes were without gas temporarily.
The exact cause of the fire is under investigation.

"In The Royale, set in the boxing world of the early 1900s, Jay 'The Sport' Jackson has talent and confidence and wants what he feels is owed to him: a shot at the championship," press notes state. "Even though blacks were not offered bouts with white boxers, Jay wants to be the first African American crowned undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, and he is pushing hard to have that dream realized, no matter the consequences."
The Royale is loosely inspired by the story of Jack Johnson, who was the first African American sports icon, and who reigned as the world heavyweight champion in the early part of the 20th century.
The production will run through June 2. Tickets can be purchased by calling (213) 628-2772 or at CenterTheatreGroup.org.

The freeze warning for Maricopa County has been extended another day, until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
A freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are "imminent or highly likely."
This is the coldest stretch of weather in the Phoenix metro since 1988.
In southern Arizona border city Douglas, Sunday morning's low of 7 degrees broke a record for January, according to the National Weather Service. The previous record in Douglas was 6 degrees on Jan. 4, 1949.
In northern Arizona, it was record -7 degrees at Flagstaff's Pulliam Airport on Sunday morning. The previous coldest low at the airport on Jan. 13 was 6 degrees below zero in 1963.
Low temperatures were in the mid 20s to the low 30s on Monday. Tuesday morning will be even colder.
If you're planning to be outside at all, wear warm layers that protect the head, hands, and feet. Cover sensitive vegetation with sheets and towels and wrap exposed pipes.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Troopers with the NC Highway Patrol investigating a fatal crash when a driver illegally passed a stopped school bus say the accident reconstruction team is still working to see if the driver's statement matches evidence.
Skies were pitch black at 6:30 Thursday morning. That's when troopers say 57-year-old Barbara Harrison Smith drove her Honda Civic past a stopped school bus, which had lights flashing and the stop arm out, and struck and killed 17-year-old Makinzy Smith.
"From what I could tell she didn't even slow down," said James Cottrell, who was in a work van just two cars behind the stopped school bus. "I heard the impact, realized the boy, the child had been hit, so I got out, run down to where he was at and he wasn't moving and he was gasping for breath."
Despite Cottrell's heroic efforts, nothing could be done to save the West Rowan High student.
"There was an accident today, and we did lose a student..." School spokeswoman Rita Foil was overcome just talking about what happened on Woodleaf Road near Godbey Road Thursday morning.
"I've spoken with the family, the grandparents, and they're all very very upset, just reaffirming that as a school system we're here to do anything we can for them," Foil told WBTV.
Barbara Harrison Smith didn't have any comment after she was charged. She was clearly distraught leaving the magistrate's office, and earlier as she stood by her car at the accident site.
In 2011 the Rowan-Salisbury School District began putting cameras on school buses to record drivers who illegally pass stopped buses. Since then, 45 citations have been issued to drivers for passing stopped buses, officials say.
According to officials, this bus did not have those cameras.
On the North Carolina School Bus Safety web site - there's a snap shot of the problem of illegally passing stopped school buses.
According to the North Carolina Department of Instruction - in March, during a one-day school bus arm violation count - school bus drivers across the state witnessed 3316 drivers illegally passing stopped school buses.
In Mecklenburg County on that same March day - bus drivers said they saw 721 drivers who didn't stop for flashing lights and extended stop arm.
Thursday morning's fatal crash comes just two months after NC Governor Pat McCrory signed a new law, known as the "Hasani N. Wesley Students' School Bus Safety Act," that stiffens the penalty for drivers who pass stopped school buses.
The law, named after an 11-year-old boy who was struck and killed at his bus stop in December 2012, states that if a motorist passing a stopped bus strikes a pedestrian, the violation becomes a felony.
Visitation for Makinzy Smith will be held Saturday, October 19, at Summerset Funeral Home in Salisbury from 4 to 6 p.m. Services are to follow immediately after.

On tap at the brewpub on 7/25/12. Served in an 8oz tulip.
Pour: hazy orange with a finger and a half off white head that recedes to a film and rim.
Smell: Belgian yeast and biscuit notes. Great grapefruit also comes through.
Taste: Reverses the order of the nose with grapefruit and pine up front, and biscuity malt and Belgian yeast following up. An amazing combination.
Mouthfeel: Great body, with velvety carbonation. Bitterness lingers mildly.
Overall: An incredible hybrid that takes my favorites characteristics of saisons and IPA's. Maybe my favorite beer of the visit.

On tap at Tired Hands.
Pours cloudy, brilliant orange, fluffy white head that settles down slowly; creamy lacing. Looks good! Aroma of tropical and citrus fruits; that house saison yeast and all its attendant ester-y notes; spice and pepper; lesser piney quality.
A very nice blend of a contemporary American IPA and a Belgian saison; initially I wasn't a fan of this hybrid style but more and more brewers are getting it right. Tired Hands certainly does, which should come as no surprise. The hops impart lots of orange, grapefruit, and mango notes, with a light fruity sweetness enhanced by the yeast esters and drying up completely in the finish, where the moderate bitterness lingers a bit as it fades away slowly. Again there are appealing pepper and spice notes as well as pine and floral undertones from the hops.
Medium to slightly light bodied, medium carbonation, very smooth, slightly creamy, typical draught mouthfeel for Tired Hands; extremely drinkable, highly tasty.

On Tap at Tired Hands.
HellCurse is a bright saison/IPA mix with bright gold rims with some mix of hazy orange and some yellow glow. A nice body on this, not able to see through the liquid. A bunch of bubbles forming some suds, white, semi stick. Smell is ripe with fruit mixing in with some Saison yeast, which detracts. Some pineapple, banana, bready yeast profile, faint pale malt. It smells decent. Taste is a different story. The yeast is dominate, bready, with some floral appeal. Under that the ipa ccomes out mildly with cloaked tropics. Feel is spicy with a long bready aftertaste, medium with spritzy carb, pleasant. I could only handle 4oz of this stuff, not my bag.

On-tap, 8oz pour
A golden body with a fluffy white cap. Fairly hazy. Sheeting lace coating the glass.
An IPA/Saison hybrid. Spicy phenols, some wood, and pepper co-mingling with a good amount of hops. Grapefruit, fresh flowers, and resin/oil.
The palate is similar, with hops taking the lead. Grapefruit, flowers, and pine resin over top of dry rye and wheat malt. Pepper and wood dry out the finish.
Light to medium body with good carbonation. The saison yeast brings a bunch of phenols poking through here and there. The finish is a mix of dry, spice with hoppy bitterness.
This is a beer I could drink an awful lot of. Saison and IPA are two of my favorite styles and this delivers the best of both worlds. Well made.

HOUSTON—A Houston couple may have to put their wedding plans on hold thanks to a couple of robbers.
Greg Gunnels and his fiancée were out watching airplanes land at about 1 a.m. Friday at a lot on Lee Road South and Will Clayton Parkway near Bush Airport when they said they were held up at gunpoint.
Gunnels said one robber yelled "get out of the truck."
Marie Bratton said another robber ordered them to hand over everything. She did. Money. Wedding rings. Driver's licenses. All Gone.
The couple even told The Houston Police Department that the robbers took their old Chevy 1500 pickup truck with a blue hood.
Gunnels, a school bus driver for Aldine Indpendent School District said he's trying to get new IDs so they can get their wedding license.
They are scheduled to get married in seven days. They are not sure if they'll get the paperwork in time.
They never expected a romantic night to turn so tragic.
Gunnels who has trouble walking said one of the robbers kept saying "give me the money, give me the money."
"I'm just glad to be alive," Gunnels said.
So is his fiancée.
The robbers stole nearly everything they had. The two are now just glad to have each other.
They hope to have their truck back in time for the big day.

Whether you're rooting for the Broncos, the Seahawks or just want to watch the commercials, there's no doubt that watching the Super Bowl at the beach is a win-win: football AND beautiful views. You can even make all those people freezing cold in New Jersey jealous!
We've planned several activities around this game of all games, including a fun golf tournament in the morning, as well as day-long specials on Super Bowl Sunday at Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers and Pizza restaurant and a special golf deal the day after.
To start, we'll host a Super Bowl Sunday Golf Tournament at the George Fazio golf course beginning at 9 a.m., because after all, you need something to do before the Big Game! In scramble format with a shotgun start, the tournament will offer multiple prizes and contests, as well as beer and snacks throughout the event. Sign up to play here by January 31.
Then when you're ready to get into game mode, head over to Big Jim's restaurant at the Robert Trent Jones golf course for a day full of Super Bowl specials while you watch the game on one of eight big screen TVs. Enjoy $2.50 Bud Light Pints, craft beers 2 for 1, and beer buckets starting at only $12. You're going to need to eat too, of course, so fill up on our all-you-can-eat BBQ Buffet served from 5 p.m. through the third quarter.
If you'd prefer to take the party back to your Hilton Head vacation villa or home, we'll have a variety of take-out specials from $25 and up, including a rib platter, wing platter, slider burger platter, BBQ Party Pack or Party Spread.
Finally, when it's all said and done, whether your team won or lost, celebrate or drown your sorrows with a Hilton Head tee time at the George Fazio golf course on Monday, February 3. All you have to pay is the winning team's score! Call 843-785-1138 to book your tee time and mention the Super Bowl Score Special.
If we can help you reserve the perfect Hilton Head vacation rental for your Super Bowl party, give us a call at 866-744-7558.
Let us know in the comments which team you're rooting for!
Let us help you with your holiday gift list this year with unique items from stores around Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. Whether you've got a golfer, a tennis player, an outdoorsman or an ocean-lover on your holiday list, we've got the gift for them! Here are some of our top gift picks for 2013:
Golf Pro Shops
The golfer on your list will love this item from our Robert Trent Jones golf pro shop! The new Garmin Approach S4 GPS golf watch ($349.99) is the perfect idea for the golfer who has everything. This stylish, yet lightweight and comfortable watch uses hi-res touch screen technology and comes with a GPS receiver for precise yardage to the front, middle and back of the greens, plus layup and dogleg distances. There's even a smart notification feature that lets you receive emails, texts and alerts from your iPhone (iPhone 4s and above models). The battery lasts up to 10 hours in GPS golf mode. Now, that's a watch!
Be sure to use it while playing one of our three championship Hilton Head golf courses: the Robert Trent Jones golf course, the Arthur Hills golf course or the George Fazio golf course.
Tennis Pro Shop
At the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center pro shop, we can't resist the cute Spin Winz! It's a plastic circle that attaches to the end of your racquet to help decide who serves first when the racquet is spun. Instead of the boring "M or W" or "P or D," your options include "Trophy or Wife," "Social or Butterfly" and "Diamonds or Pearls" as examples.
For men, we have a variety of logo shirts, great deals on Prince tennis racquets and shoes from Asics, Adidas and K-Swiss. For women, we have Life is Tennis bags in both Tote and Sling styles in a variety of colorful patterns, and LBH tops in sleeveless and long sleeve in a rainbow of colors.
Hilton Head Outfitters
Grab a new Hilton Head hoodie or Hilton Head Outfitters long-sleeve T. These are great for cooler days and to remind you of your last vacation or upcoming vacation to the island. They are available in a variety of colors, including green, pink and blue.
The Ship's Store at Shelter Cove Marina
Wouldn't your loved one look great in a new pair of Costas? Or how about a new pair of Sperry Topsiders? The Ship's Store offers a broad selection of Costa del Mar sunglasses, and when you buy any pair you get a $20 resort gift card (consider that a gift to youself!). The Ship's Store has the largest selection of Sperry Topsider shoes on the island with more than 50 styles to choose from. They also carry Guy Harvey shirts, Sanuk sandals, Columbia Sportswear and Tervis tumblers.
The Palmetto Dunes General Store
While it would be nice if you could send your loved one a batch of cinnamon rolls freshly baked from the store, that may not be practical J. Instead choose from the General Store's selection of coffee mugs, long sleeve T-shirts and sweatshirts. They also have some cute beach-themed ornaments, including Santa Claus with an alligator, a sea turtle and by a palm tree, as well as dolphins, sailboats and more.
Palmetto Dunes Gift Card
Not sure what to get the Hilton Head Island fans in your life? No worries! Just get them a Palmetto Dunes gift card redeemable at point of sale locations around the resort. These include Hilton Head accommodations, golf rounds and lessons, tennis court time and lessons, golf and tennis pro shops, Hilton Head Outfitters, the Ship's Store at Shelter Cove Marina, Big Jim's restaurant, the golf grilles and the Dunes House. The cards are now available with free shipping and overnight options … just in case you wait till the last minute.
Come visit our Hilton Head stores this holiday season and choose the perfect gift for the people on your list. Give us a call at 866-744-7558 if you'd like us to ship an item to you. Happy shopping!
Sure, a week is a great vacation to Hilton Head but a month is even better. Not that you needed any more reasons to visit us, but we've listed 5 of our top reasons to extend your stay at Palmetto Dunes to at least a month:
1) Play unlimited golf! What's better than a round of golf? Unlimited rounds of golf! With our Monthly Golf Membership, you can play all three of our championship Hilton Head golf courses as much as you want for an entire month. Choose between our oceanfront Robert Trent Jones course, the Arthur Hills course or the George Fazio course.
2) Ride your bike on all 50 miles of paved island paths. Did you know you could pedal 50 miles across our island? Spend more than a week and see if you can master it all! With monthly Hilton Head bike rentals from Hilton Head Outfitters, you'll be set with any kind of bike you like, including their new comfort bike, cruisers, kids bikes and more.
3) Get to "love" tennis, if you don't already. When you book your Hilton Head vacation rental through Palmetto Dunes, you get two hours of complimentary tennis court time daily at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. The longer you stay, the more tennis you can play!
4) Kayak to your heart's content! Palmetto Dunes is home to a beautiful and peaceful 11-mile saltwater inland lagoon system that winds throughout the resort and our golf courses. Get weekly kayak or canoe rentals from Hilton Head Outfitters to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the lagoon, or if you plan to stay several months, consider the affordable yearly membership. See how many birds you can spot in the lagoon during your stay and watch for other wildlife, as well, like a friendly otter who likes to splash around our lagoon.
5) Try lots of Hilton Head restaurants. Here on the island we offer wonderful dining from ethic foods to fresh seafood to gourmet meals with beautiful views. Some suggestions include Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers & Pizza restaurant at the Robert Trent Jones Clubhouse, the beachfront Dunes House (open seasonally to resort guests and property owners), Ela's Blu Water Grille with harbour views at Shelter Cove Harbour and San Miguel's Mexican restaurant, also at Shelter Cove.
If you want to do ALL these things on your visit to Palmetto Dunes, consider our Monthly Stay & Sports Membership. It gets you a 30-night stay in a Hilton Head resort villa, 30 days of unlimited golf and bike rentals, two 2-hour kayak rentals and two hours of tennis court time daily, plus plenty of time to walk on the beach.
For more information about any of these memberships or packages, please give us a call at 866-744-7558.

The weather is ideal with high temperatures in the 70s and low 80s, and sports fans will love our choice of outdoor activities. Plus, if a certain someone in your family just can't miss their favorite team's football game, we've got plenty of places for that, too!

When you're on vacation, eating great food is half the fun! At Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort and Shelter Cove Harbour, we have plenty of wonderful places to dine whether you're looking for a casual stop on the beach or a gourmet meal overlooking the water.
This week, we wanted to share some of the best Hilton Head appetizers from around Palmetto Dunes and Shelter Cove.
Dunes House Chicken Nachos
Take a break from the beach or ride your bike over to the oceanfront Dunes House within the resort. Our appetizer pick from this fun outdoor restaurant is their Chicken Nachos. Indulge in tortilla chips smothered in grilled chicken, queso, black bean relish and jalapenos. Sour cream and salsa is served on the side. Tip: Get plenty of napkins!
Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers & Pizza Sliders
At Big Jim's restaurant, located at the Robert Trent Jones course, try the sliders. It's the perfect appetizer to share with a group of buddies! Choose from three smoked pulled pork or smoked chicken sliders with cole slaw and pickle OR three Angus beef sliders with smoked onion and pickle.
San Miguel's Guacamole Dip - Shelter Cove Harbour
This is one of the best guacamole dips on the island complete with fresh avocados blended with tomatoes, onions and spices and served with their flour tortilla chips. Enjoy the view, a margarita and chips and guac!
HH Prime's Shrimp & Grits (Omni Hotel at Palmetto Dunes)
You can't come to the Lowcountry without eating shrimp and grits -- it's a Southern staple! HH Prime, located within the Omni Hotel at Palmetto Dunes, offers a plate full of jumbo shrimp and grits made with smoked cheddar cheese, tasso ham and sherry butter sauce. Delicious!
Ela's Blu Water Grille, Shelter Cove Harbour – Mama's Fried Green Tomatoes
Another Southern must-have is fried green tomatoes! Get your fill at Ela's Blu Water Grille, a Shelter Cove restaurant with a fantastic view. Your tomatoes will come lightly fried and crispy and served with Creole sauce, the owner's family tradition.
Alexander's Seafood Restaurant & Wine Bar's Oysters
If you're a visitor to the island, you may not have been exposed to the joy of eating oysters! We consider it a delicacy down south. Alexander's, located within the gates of Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, offers North American cold water oysters on the half shell in half dozen or a full dozen. You can also try their Oyster Baked Oyster Combination of three Rockefeller oysters topped with bacon, spinach and hollandaise sauce and three Savannah oysters topped with shrimp, crab, scallops, bacon and cheddar cheese. This dish will make anyone a fan of oysters!
Which dish sounds the best to you? Which appetizer are you dying to try? We hope you enjoy dining at Palmetto Dunes and Hilton Head when you visit us this spring and summer. Bon Appetit!

A large wildfire burning in the remote Geysers geothermal area in northeastern Sonoma County continued to expand Saturday, rolling through dry brush and woodland to burn a total of 3,000 acres since early Friday.
At times when the wind was strongest, at 25 to 30 mph, flames threatened about a dozen homes and up to four geothermal power plants tucked deep within the Mayacmas range northeast of Geyserville.
But firefighters made progress against the McCabe fire, attacking it with five times the personnel from Friday and more resources, including 120 engines, 27 bulldozers, 14 helicopters and two air tankers.
Soda Canyon And Geysers Fire
After being grounded Friday amid strong winds and smoky conditions that made their drops ineffective, aircraft were able to douse hot spots inside the fire and active flames along the front, allowing hand crews and other equipment to strengthen containment lines.
A total of 1,758 firefighters and personnel were assigned to the McCabe fire Saturday. The blaze was 25 percent contained by 8 p.m., according to Cal Fire, the state firefighting agency.
No injuries were reported.
Cal Fire Capt. Scott McLean said the work went "really well" after winds died down later in the day.
"It was a pretty good effort that was put out by the aircraft," which slowed and cooled the flames for the crews on the ground, he said. "It's a concert of everything working together. It's not one thing that puts the fire out."
That said, the diminishing winds played the biggest factor in firefighters' headway Saturday, and the weather should remain in their favor for the start of this week. Sustained winds are forecast to drop below 10 mph in the region, with rain predicted for the middle of the week.

I read the listing for this place here on BA and decided to check it out. The location is nice, in Canton near Fell's Point, by the water and nested inside "The Can Co.", a sprawling former canning factory that now houses loads of stores, restaurants and offices.
The place is a bit hard to find, but once you're inside you'll marvel at the really beautiful, classy space. Very upscale! It is mostly wine, and super expensive at that. No Yellowtail here! Also Euro gourmet goodies... truffle oil, cheese, figs.
A seat-in dining area by a counter offers some of these goodies to eat. But I don't love the idea of munching at a wine store!
There is one big shelf with beer, and a cooler right next to it, with an emphasis on local/regional brands (Heavy Seas, DuClaw, Lancaster, Dogfish, Victory). Some singles and lots of Belgians and macro Euros (Stella, Hoegaarden, Leffe).
The bomber section shows Chimay, Delirium and other Belgians, plus Stone, Dogfish, Heavy Seas.
Selection is serviceable, good for an emergency, but this is not a destination. Very pricey. Palo Santo (4-pack) is $16, and most bombers start at $8-$9.
Store was empty, and yet I was not greeted or offered help. This could be nice, or terrible.
I was not impressed overall. The prices are a particular turn-off. I mean, I thought Canton was a working-class 'hood??

Have been here many times, but don't believe I've ever bought a beer here. So that should tell you something about this place right off the bat.
CWC is located in a strip mall right off of Boston street, no more then a block away from Mahaffey's (it's just a few steps from the Canton Safeway). The place is actually fairly good size, though the front door area is so small you could easily miss this place if you weren't looking for it. The focus here is on wine, with a modest size wine bar holding roughly 10 seats taking center stage in CWC. There are also some tables and chairs scattered around the interior, where you can enjoy a glass or bottle of wine or beer. There is a limited food menu as well, which one expects given the lack of a kitchen. They do some flat bread pizzas, a cheese plate, an antipasta plate and a few other snacks. They also have a fairly decent selection of gourmet cheese here, and the walls are lined with wine, categorized by varietal.
As for beer, yes they have some. In the back on the far left are some shelves of beer, a few box displays and a cold box. The quality of what CWC has on offer is pretty decent, with a nice selection of Belgians and the usual local suspects (Clipper City, Troeg's, Brewer's Art, Dogfish Head, Victory, etc.). Prices are a bit on the high side, but then the same can be said of wine prices here, so I think that's to be expected.
Obviously, this is not a beer destination stop, but instead a place to stop in and pick something up if you happen to be in the area and don't feel like going out of your way someplace else before heading home. Service is pretty much non-existent when it comes to picking out a beer, though the friendly staff know quite a bit about wine and can help you with that if that's what you're shopping for here.
Shrug. As I mentioned, I've never bought a beer here before, and can't see or imagine that changing any time in the future. Like a number of other places I could point to in the area, it's debatable whether or not this place should ever have been added to the beerfly data base.

This is a place nestled in a kind of strip mall like area near my friend's place in Baltimore. Like some have said, you don't really know what it is unless you step inside, though I suppose there's a sign that says "wine bar" if you're driving close by the entrance.
He has a friend who was working the actual wine bar in the middle. Wine is the forefront here. We opted for the $10 option: 4 wines, 4 1.5 oz pours. I'm not sure if you can drink beer in the place, but you can also buy a bottle of wine and drink it at the bar for $5 or $6 beyond the retail price, which is also a nice option.
Along the back far wall lies the beer. I was hoping for a little more of a selection (though the wine section, which is pretty much the whole store almost, seems to be top notch), even though it technically is a Wine Company. They had a lot of recognizable things, along with some local Brewer's Art and Clipper City, a good selection of hard cider, and some Belgians. Maybe a good place to stop for a bottle or two, or a six pack, but I don't think I'd make it my regular beer stop if I were in the area.
However, it's certainly worth checking out, especially if you're like me and you also are getting into wine in addition to beer.

This is a nice little place, sitting among several retail stores at the Can Company in Canton. It is overly unassuming from the outside, one could hardly tell whether they were a retailer or a distributer, as well as from the inside, I missed the fact that they sold quality beer several times. I only noticed the beer while wandering around for an Italian Sangiovese.
Nestled along the back wall is a few dozen shelves of some of the highest quality beers. Only craft, micro brew, and good international choices are found. The US stuff is almost exclusively Mid-Atlantic, but it seems like they have most that are available in the state. Belgian and German lovers would probably require a much larger selection. They generally only have one type of brew from a brewery, but may have several Clipper City and Unibroue brews if you wander.
I'm not sure if they sell cases, since I've never seen them, but I generally stick to the singles and sixes anyway. Singles of all are available, both RT and cold. I've purchased a $5 bomber of Allagash and a $7 six-pack of Storm King. Many prices are higher. I've since learned that there is a "corking" fee on large bottles of beer. Though this may make sense for wine, charging me several dollars to "cork" my Hennepin just pisses me off.
It has turned out to be one of my regular spots. Mostly because is close to my house; instead of driving out to Wells or Beltway, this is around the corner. Large purchases would be cost prohibitive
The people are friendly and attentive, but are not well-versed in beer. I've asked the owner about having a beer tasting event. They don't want to be bothered and want to focus on wine. They do have finger food, like antipast and small pizzas, that are well done and complement some Belgian brews or Italian wines quite well.
If you live near the area, this will keep you from driving out into the sticks to get a few odds and ends. However, if you want more reasonable prices on everyday regional goodies, Loading Dock might be your place.

First off, I'd like to say that whenever I'm running a bit low on beer, I will go here 75% of the time, largely due to the fact that its only about a mile from where I live, whereas Wells and Shawan are much too far north.
While the store focusses mainly on wine, as the name suggests, the have a pretty decent selection of beer too.
SN Celebration, Saison Dupont, alot of Victory, Lindemans, Delerium, Ommegang, Unibroue, and Chimay of course.
Every Tues they have a Wine Tasting event for $25... I've never arrived on time, but I have been there around closing time on Tues, and it was still packed.
The service is nothing to brag about. If you have a question, you can go find one of the cashiers, but other than that, its rare for someone to ask you if they can help you with anything.
I'm not quite sure how knowledgeable the rest of the staff is, but the Australian bird seems to know her stuff.
I could use a bit more selection... but my real complaint is the price. Yes, you can find a decent deal every now and then... but most stuff is greatly overpriced.
Still, all in all, a very solid place if you live in the Canton/Fells Point areas

They have a good selection of beers, but I can get a better selection at a couple places in the area for much less. Their staff is always friendly and they def' gear their business to the wine crowd, which should be no surprise from the name of the place. However, their beer prices are very high. Six packs are always $2-3 more than I would pay at some other places in the area. It is in a great location, and they have a nice crowd (especially during the "First Friday" celebrations. I can see this as a great place to take a date for a beer and/or a glass of wine, but not a place to hang out with the fellas.

A nice little place you can go with wino friends and still enjoy a fine brew, even at a reasonable price! This place is a wine/beer shop that doubles as a wine/beer bar. About 20 tables, a small bar, and a small cheese/pastry counter adorn the place. Well stocked single and 6 pack selection consisting mainly of regional micros, German and Belgian imports and US Belgian style ales. Nothing earth shattering, but lots of fine beverages. They keep most of their beers both warm and cold. If you're drinking in the store, you simply grab what you want from the cooler, your waitress opens it, and that's that. Food is quite limited, but pretty decent. The Chorizo pizza is pretty good. Service is so so, but I've only been there on a "First Friday" when they have a live band and the place is packed. I wouldn't seek this out as a destination, but if you're looking for a place to go with "high brow" wine snobs, this is your best bet to enjoy a quality beverage of your own.

Letter: Fee for paper bags is outrageous
Original post made on Mar 27, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 12:00 AM

You would think that the paper products industry would launch a lawsuit against the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors. Remember these are the geniuses that lost over $150 M of the school County schools' money to Lehman Bros. These people are dilettantes and incompetents and have no business being in elected office.
Even in California it would be hard to find a judge that would agree that the Government can tell business how much they should charge for their products. This is unprecedented and is indefensable.
If the the Board of Supes is not stopped its planned metamorphosis to Socialism should be complete in about 20 years. It forgets that it works for us. It is arrogant for the Board to say it is about changing the public's behavior. We, the public need to stand up to these simian dolts and tell them that they work for us and need to change their behavior and be responsive to our needs. Talk about the tail wagging the dog.
on Mar 27, 2013 at 6:04 pm
County voters recently passed a measure to raise the sales tax. The people want to may more. You can't blame the supervisors for doing the will of the people.
on Mar 28, 2013 at 9:59 am
How is this nominal bag fee any different from a tax on gasoline, cigarettes, or any other commodity which brings environmental or social costs? I see absolutely no difference -- it's just new, is all. Not that I'm in favor of an ever-increasing number of such taxes, but bringing your own bags while shopping is a very minor inconvenience, and something more people appear to be doing every month if my observations in Menlo Park are any indication. Mountain out of a molehill, people, and the Socialism claim in a previous comment is just more of the same nonsense we saw in the run-up to last November.

'Shock Everyone You Know' begins the online listing on eBay for a lifelike mask of alleged Colorado theater gunman James Holmes.
'There is nothing more scary than crawling into James Holmes mind and wearing his face,' it continues.
Holmes is the suspected gunman in the July 2012 mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora. During his first court appearance, he had bright orange hair and seemed confused.
The mask is based on his look during this first appearance and on the mugshot that followed.
The auction had a starting bid of $500 and was set to continue until October 12.
Here is the full description:
Halloween is only a month away. SHOCK EVERYONE YOU KNOW! He was referred to as "The Joker", "The Dark Knight Shooter", "The Ilama", "The Extraordinary Gifted" but his real name is JAMES HOLMES! There is nothing more scary than crawling into James Holmes mind and wearing his face. His "soul penetrating eyes" and "The Joker" orange hair makes this mask the most disturbing object you will ever own. Imagine owning the mask of supposedly the most dangerous mass murderer in US history. This is a high quality latex rubber mask which was custom designed for a private collector overseas. I won this mask playing high stakes poker tournament when I was in Europe. I guaranty you that this is the only mask in the world and it is practically priceless because it was used in the production of the most controversy documentary which will come out in 2013. This mask is sold as is and there are no returns. If you have 0 feedback and you are interested to bid on this item you have to contact me first. I will ship the mask immediately after I receive the payment. Good luck!
