As I'm sure you recall, a few weeks ago there was some loose (though highly enjoyable) talk about some significant MLB realignment, one aspect of which would require shifting a National League franchise to the American. And among the few candidates for such a shift, perhaps the most obvious is Houston, which could slide right into the American League West.*
* The other obvious option: Arizona Diamondbacks move to American League West, with Astros shifting to National League West. Unfortunately, both options involve the Astros playing a lot of games in the Pacific Time Zone, but you can't make scrambled eggs without scrambling a few eggs. Not good scrambled eggs, anyway.
One of the rationales for moving the Astros into the AL Central is more games with the Texas Rangers, supposedly the Astros' "natural rivals." Not everybody's excited about that prospect, though. Jason Cohen's got a nice piece on the subject in Texas Month's website:
Richard Justice, a Houston Chronicle sports columnist, came out in favor of the switch (though he has since put the odds of its actually happening at 25 percent, noting that both McLane and Crane oppose it). Detractors argue that the rivalry is not sufficiently intense to justify the move.
"I've yet to see anybody, aside from Drayton McLane, who gives a damn about the series," wrote John Royal, a blogger for Houston Press.
But that's precisely why it ought to happen. So-called traditional rivalries - even between natural geographic foes - are highly overrated. Familiarity and pennant races are what breed contempt. The Rangers' biggest rival just might be the Yankees, not only because they play in the same league, but because they have a playoff history that fuels their regular season meetings.
It's not often that someone makes an original point about an old subject, but I think Cohen's done exactly that.
It's not correct to assume that the six games the Rangers and Astros play annually presage the 18 or 20 they might play in the same division, because it's just not the same situation. If they were battling for a division title? Or if one could knock the other out of contention in late September? That's how a rivalry is created. I think you'd wind up with something like Giants-Dodgers or Cardinals-Cubs. And those are fine things indeed, among the best the sport can offer.
C'mon, somebody. Make this happen, and soon.

Earlier Friday evening, it seemed as if the Roy Oswalt sweepstakes were intensifying, as a report emerged that Oswalt was nearing an agreement with the St. Louis Cardinals. Well, now we're taking things one step further. According to Gordon Edes, Oswalt has reached an agreement with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Oswalt headed to the Cardinals, source says.
It's unconfirmed at this point, but Edes is reliable, and Joe Strauss tweeted earlier that the Cardinals were definitely interested and that a decision was expected soon. One figures that, as badly as Oswalt wants to stay around his home, this is probably true.
Assuming this is true, it means that one of Kyle Lohse or Jake Westbrook will presumably be booted from the starting rotation, and possibly from the organization. It's unlikely that the Cardinals would bring in Oswalt if they didn't have some kind of plan for how to make room.
And assuming this is true, hey, that puts Oswalt, Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright and Jaime Garcia on the same staff. That's a hell of a staff, and though it's a staff with question marks, the defending world champions won't head into the 2012 season short on talent.
Expect Oswalt to sign a one-year contract worth something like $5 or $6 or $7 or $8 million. It probably won't be as much money as a guy like Roy Oswalt should get, but Oswalt has his own issues, and besides, St. Louis is the kind of place for which he'd take a discount.
The 34-year-old made 23 starts last season with the Phillies, posting a 3.69 ERA and nearly three strikeouts for every walk. After returning from a back injury in August, he put up even better numbers down the stretch. There's good reason to believe the Cardinals will be getting Roy Oswalt as Roy Oswalt, or at least as an approximation thereof.
Oswalt had been pursued by the Red Sox, but now they'll probably turn their full attention to Edwin Jackson.

The Clinton Herald
CLINTON, Iowa — In the wake of loss, one Iowa family is making a big impact on their community this holiday season.
On Nov. 28, Bonnie and David Barr of Clinton suffered an unbearable tragedy when their son, Stewart, died unexpectedly a little more than two weeks after his 30th birthday.
Just 18 days before his death, Stewart sent a Facebook message to his brother and some of his friends, vowing to purchase 25 gifts to donate to a local toy drive and challenging them to do the same.
"When I learned of Stewart's death, it was very heartbreaking and shocking. We went to the visitation and his family had told us about the challenge he had made to his friends," long-time friend Mike Griswold said. "I kind of put it to the back of my mind until one day, it just hit me that I needed to take the challenge. What a great opportunity to try to continue what Stewart started."
Since beginning the challenge, the group has distributed nearly $3,000 in Stewart's honor to charities, shelters and toy drives all around the community. In addition, it has sparked others who knew Stewart and his family to step up and join the toy-giving challenge.
According to Connie Brashaw, a Citizen's Police Academy alumna who organizes the local Shop with a Cop event in Clinton, Bonnie attended the event Dec. 7, just long enough to give the 32 children an extra holiday surprise.
"It was very sad when she came to give us the money, knowing why she was giving it," Brashaw said. "The kids were excited to get the initial $100 so, when they got $120 they were ecstatic. It was very sweet of them to do, and we really appreciate it. They are pretty amazing people."
During her visit, Bonnie made a monetary donation of approximately $600 to the Shop with a Cop event, giving each child an additional $20 to spend on themselves or their loved ones during the shopping adventure.
For the children, it was an extra pair of gloves for Dad, or a new sweater for Mom, but for Brashaw and other volunteers, it was an act of generosity during a painful time.
"It's amazing through her heartache that she can still do something so amazing," Brashaw said. "I think it speaks to the kind of person that he was. For him to get that many people to donate to underprivileged kids is just an amazing thing."
Although they are fully committed to Stewart's idea, his family is not sure what inspired him to create the challenge.
Bonnie questions whether the idea came from a memory of his childhood, buying gifts from the giving tree and donating them to those less fortunate. His brother Brian wonders if it just came from his constant desire to make people happy.
"I don't know what prompted it for Stew," Brian said. "Maybe he was just happy because he just had a birthday, I don't know; he was always the person that would do anything for you."
The reason why is not the important part according to Bonnie. For her and the rest of her family, honoring Stewart's wishes and fulfilling a goal he had set for himself is what really matters.
"This is something that he came up with. It amazed me. It didn't surprise me, but it amazed me," Bonnie said. "Although people may say that Christmas is not about gifts, it is about giving. And I think that's what Stewart was doing - he was giving."

Overview of the Effort
The task force has been charged with achieving the following goals:
Two Distinct Issues
In the past, budget deficits have been caused by cyclical recessions, such as in the early 2000's and in the last three years. These have been solved with expenditure reductions, some temporary in nature and some service cuts, until revenues recover. However, this recession has been so severe that we are expecting another deficit to solve in 2012. This is primarily due to continued slow revenue growth on a significantly reduced base. There is some question as to whether this revenue base will ever fully recover.
Separate from cyclical recessions, a structural deficit between revenues and expenditures has been growing over the last decade. It is being caused by:
This Task Force will primarily be addressing the structural budget deficit that would have been an issue even if there had not been a recession.

Jasper County gets more tornadoes than any other part of Missouri, Stammer said, but almost all are weak. The enormous tornado in May 2011 was so unusual – it formed in about a minute and plodded along at a fraction of the speed of the typical tornado that size – that Stammer coined a word for it: "oddball-ness."
Facing tornadoes in Jasper County and Joplin means planning ahead. Stammer is involved in roughly nine emergency planning drills a year with other agencies and non-profits. The city had participated in a four-hour drill for earthquake response just four days before the tornado hit.
Agencies around the area already know who is responsible for what, and who has what kinds of equipment. There are agreements in place for things like providing shelter with churches and universities. "The disaster scene is not the place to exchange business cards," said Stammer.
Timothy W. Manning, a deputy administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, noted he didn't need to deploy FEMA's specialized search-and-rescue teams after the Joplin tornado because local groups did all of that work so rapidly.
Stammer does one thing differently now. He would never have planned for a tornado that large before May 22, 2011. Now, he tells other emergency managers to think big.
"If you're thinking flooding, think a big flood," he counsels. "Overwhelm yourself."
Building Codes
Planning to respond to tornadoes and actually building for them are different, however. Model building codes would require contractors to frame houses and roofs that withstand hurricane-force winds. But not all states adopt those models, and the ones that do frequently lower wind standards, according to a study of coastal states last year by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety.
Even after a tornado, a community may not change building codes for a variety of reasons, including fear from homeowners who were unscathed that their lack of tornado-resistant features could affect their property values.

East Palo Alto celebrates National Night Out

I find it pretty horrendous and insensitive to open this article the way it did, "A barricaded East Palo Alto street was not the scene of a police action Tuesday night, Aug. 7, but a celebration to increase neighborhood unity and cooperation with police."
Why not keep an article positive throughout? This kind of thing keeps perpetuating the idea that only negative activities occur within our community, and I would appreciate attention being paid in future article publishings.
Thank you.

The perception is created by reality and facts. Don't concern yourself with image and impressions Concerned Resident from EPA, take action to change the conditions that create these tragic realities. You cast blame at a newspaper publication for putting an innocent but ironic slant on a story, as if that is ever going to change anything. You'd be better off spending your time and energy putting pressure on your city and police department to combat the elements in your crime ridden city. When the crime, gangs, and drug dealing cease to exist, then so will the negative impressions.

Birthday: Sept. 20, 1975
Hometown: Bogota, Colombia
NASCAR fans everywhere rolled their eyes when Chip Ganassi announced that he was putting Formula 1 sensation Juan Pablo Montoya in one of his Sprint Cup cars for the 2007 season. After the lackluster debut of Hideo Fukuyama in 2002, fans decided that drivers who don't speak English as their native language can't drive stock cars. It was a lot to ask of fans who were just getting used to drivers not having Southern accents to accept a driver from another country.
Montoya quickly set about silencing the opposition by winning at Sonoma and gathering three top-five and six top-ten finishes along with 2007 Rookie of The Year honors.
The sophomore jinx hit Montoya hard in 2008 with a staggering nine DNFs. His best finish was second at Talladega. He collected one more top five and three top tens. This was not as much a reflection of Montoya's ability as it was an issue of consistency in the pits. He worked with three different crew chiefs during 2008, which had to have an effect on his performance. To be fair, Montoya isn't the easiest driver to handle if you're on top of the pit box, as seen by the examples below:

SHARON, Pa. - Three people are dead after a two vehicle crash Friday night. Two of the victims are seniors at Sharon High School.
The crash occurred on East Connelly Boulevard near the Elks Lodge and Route 62 shortly after 10:00 p.m. Friday night. A car and truck collided head on.
Police and fire department crews were on the scene of the crash early into Saturday morning.
Investigators tell 21 News that at least four Sharon high school football players were involved in the accident including the two that were killed. The driver of the other vehicle was also killed.
Friends and family of the football players identify them as Corey Swartz and Evan Gill. Twin brothers Greg and Craig Osmon were also in the vehicle. They are reported in serious but stable condition.
The wife of 50-year-old John Zdelar tells 21 News he was the driver of the second vehicle. She says her son who was in the vehicle also is being treated in the hospital and a friend who was with them has been treated and released.
Superintendent Michael Calla and other Sharon school officials met with students and grief counselors this morning.
Council president Victor Heutsche says he will be contacting the city manager and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation about putting a median strip or concrete barrier between the traveling lanes on the road where this accident happened.
The coroner as well as emergency crews from Brookfield, Farrell and Greenville assisted Sharon police.
Sharon was to play it's first playoff game of the season with Girard of Pa on Saturday afternoon but the game has been postponed due to the accident. Just hours after the accident, Pete Iacino, president of the PIAA District 10 committee, sent out a statement canceling the game, which has since been rescheduled.
"Because of this very tragic accident, the Sharon - Girard, PA playoff game scheduled for Saturday has been canceled. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and injured and with the entire Sharon High School community."
The Sharon Tigers took a team vote and decided to play the game in honor of their teammates.
The game will be played at 7:00 p.m. Monday at Erie Veterans Memorial Stadium.

A carb help
Does anyone know where to get the best deal on a new Carb for my A??
Of all the things I have lost I miss my mind the most!!
I have rebuilt the carb, but it was rusted shut and I have gone totally through this motor, and I don't want to cut corners on this. I took a carb off of my other A and the tractor ran great!!!!!!!!!!
Of all the things I have lost I miss my mind the most!!
Well, that carb would be a Marvel Schebler Carb.. sooo
In the TC-26E Parts Catalog on the Cub Manual Server, the Carb is shown on Page 26 and the Part Numbers are on Page 27
If you A is Gas only then it is the Marvel Schebler TSX-157 (I just re-built one), IH Part # 10.2657 and if it is a Zenith (optional) it would be 52499DB.
I would first get hold of say Ken Updike at Carter & Grunewald, or you local CaseIH Dealer. They should be able to find the carb for you.
You can also contact Jamie at JP Tractor Salvage, as they may have used Carbs for your A.
Hope that helps a bit...
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
An early A would have a Zenith carb, I'm not sure when the Marvel carbs became availlable, but Jim likely has that information. super A's may also have had a Carter carb, I know some C's did.

Men's golf takes eighth at the River Landing Intercollegiate

Bobby Fredeking carded a one-over par 73 in the final round as the JU men's golf team finished eighth at the River Landing Intercollegiate.
The Dolphins carded a nine-over par, 297, in the final round to stay in eight place, topping St. John's, Winthrop and Maryland among other in the 14-team event.
East Carolina, the tournament host, rallied to win the team title – shooting an eight-under par, 280, with four players shooting a two-under par 70. UNC-Wilmington's Josh Brock won the individual title, carding a four-under par 68 to finish at 15-under par.
"There are a lot of positives for us to build on as we get ready for the conference tournament next week," said JU head coach Mike Blackburn. "This is a great golf course and a great event for our guys to get their games in shape for our biggest tournament of the year."
Fredeking's final round moved him into a tie for 27th at three-over par, where he was joined by teammate Jamey Salmon – who posted a four-over par 76.
Dillon Batsel and Stephen Healy each carded a two-over par 74 to tie for 43rd at seven-over par. Gavin Frost shot a five-over par, 77, to finish in a tie for 56th at nine-over par.
Playing as an individual, Taylor Szyndlar carded a three-over par 75 to tie for 51st at eight-over par.
The Dolphins will use the upcoming week to prepare for the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament at Chateau Elan, starting a week from Monday.

What are you doing with the spent oil from your engines? Most fleets are reusing it somehow, perhaps by burning it in special furnaces to heat the shops or selling it to a recycler who'll put it to other uses. Drain oil was once dumped or given away, but since the rise of petroleum prices on world markets, it now brings as much as 95 cents a gallon.

Nebraska no longer PEDV free
Nebraska has become the 20th state to be diagnosed with the PEDV virus. The case was confirmed the week of December 1st. The location of the incident was not made public. There are now 1512 reported cases of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus nationwide. Iowa has the most with 495, Kansas has 126 cases and Colorado has 34. The reporting of the disease is voluntary so it is probable that more cases exist in Nebraska. The disease causes diarrhea, vomiting and severe dehydration in pigs and is often fatal to small pigs.

New from North Carolina
Post your introduction and "get to know me" information in this forum.
Moderator: Team Cub
New from North Carolina
Hi all. I recently purchased a 1948 Farmall Cub that was restored by my brother's father-in-law before he passed away, a couple of months ago. The tractor seems to be in great condition and it purrs when I've been able to get it cranked. I'm having an issue cranking it and keeping it running but I already love it. It appears that the carburetor is not pulling enough fuel. I've got a carburetor rebuild kit that came with the purchase. I'm hoping to find an article somewhere on how to rebuild it.
I am looking forward to being a part of this forum and participating as I learn more about these great tractors. I love growing vegetables and gardening and canning take me back to life on my grandfather's farm as a kid. Thanks to those that created this great forum.

Re: New from North Carolina
Welcome to the forum!
A couple of tips on carbs. By far the most common issue is dirt. Before you try to rebuild it, try a few things. Fuel delivery can be checked at several points. Remove the fuel line at the carb and confirm that the tank and strainer are not restricted. The plug at the bottom of the bowl will confirm the function of the float and fuel control needle and seat. If you have a steady stream here then the jet is dirty.
The jet is accessed by removing the brass nut on the side and pulling out the jet. Clean it with air or a SOFT copper wire, like a telephone wire strand. This solves a large percentage of carb problems and it is easy. Far too many carbs are rebuilt resulting in even more trouble.
Next, check your kit. If it is made by TISCO, forget about it. Even the experts struggle to get these parts to work properly. See the link to TM Tractor below for a source of quality parts that work.
IF you dig into the carb, the top needs to be lifted straight up or the long idle tube will snap. Then you need more parts, and perhaps a 4-48 tap.
Next, the tops are usually warped. They are not bad to straighten if you have a jig. A bit of bending and twisting is involved and a kiss from a file. Could be intimidating without guidance. The CBok link above has lots of tips on service but don't be in a hurry to take it apart.

Re: New from North Carolina
Congrats on acquiring your first Cub. It may not be your last cause they are pretty addictive as I think you are beginning to find out. 1st, your photohost account is now active so ready for pics of your Cub. 2nd, as for the How to's on you carb, there is Lurker Carl's Cub Carb Fixes and of course the more advanced ones in the CBoK, specifically in the In The Barn chapter.

Mark Doty
Distinguished Poet & Essayist
NY Times Bestselling Memoirist
National Book Award Winner
"A new book of poems—or of anything—by Mark Doty is good news in a dark time. The precision, daring, scope, elegance of his compassion and of the language in which he embodies it are a reassuring pleasure." —W. S. Merwin
"One of the things that has been constant about Mark Doty's work, poetry and prose, is his intense search for the exact word or phrase, of whatever issue, which lead him (and us) into the very furnace of meaning within the human story." —Mary Oliver
"With his clarity of vision and great heart, Doty stands among us an emblematic and shining presence." —Stanley Kunitz
Praised by the New York Times for his "dazzling, tactile grasp of the world," Mark Doty is a renowned author of poetry and prose. He is the author of three memoirs: the bestselling Dog Years (HarperCollins, 2007), Firebird (1999), and Heaven's Coast (1997), as well as a book about craft and criticism, The Art of Description: World Into Word, part of the popular "Art of" series published by Graywolf Press. Throughout his writings, he shows special interest in the visual arts, as is evident in his poems and also in this book-length essay, Still Life with Oysters and Lemon (2001). He is currently at work on a memoir that centers on his poetic relationship with Walt Whitman, entitled What Is the Grass.
The author of eight books of poetry, Mark Doty is the only American poet to have won Great Britain's T. S. Eliot Prize. His first collection, Turtle, Swan, appeared in 1987. My Alexandria (1993) received both the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Since then he has published Atlantis (1995); Sweet Machine (1998); Source (2001); and the critically acclaimed volume of poems, School of the Arts (HarperCollins, 2005). Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems was published in 2008 and won the National Book Award for that year. In their citation, the National Book Award judges wrote, "Elegant, plain-spoken, and unflinching, Mark Doty's poems in Fire to Fire gently invite us to share their ferocious compassion. With their praise for the world and their fierce accusation, their defiance and applause, they combine grief and glory in a music of crazy excelsis." His next book of poetry, Deep Lane, is forthcoming.
Listen to Mark Doty discuss Fire to Fire
Mark Doty interview for the National Book Award
Mark Doty interview for the arts section of The Boston Globe
Gerald Stern says, "Mark Doty writes with absolute exactitude, with one eye on the ideal or absolute and one on the real; the ghost of Walt Whitman on one hand, and a laundromat on 16th Street in New York, on the other. There is not a finer, more delicate, more sublime poet writing today in the English language. It's a poet's job to show us what we knew but never saw before; and it's a poet's job to tell us over and over what love is. Doty is this poet." Philip Levine remarks, "If it were mine to invent the poet to complete the century of William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens, I would create Mark Doty just as he is, a maker of big, risky, fearless poems in which ordinary human experience becomes music."
Mark Doty interview with New Letters
In addition to the National Book Award, Doty has also received two NEA fellowships, Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundation Fellowships, a Lila Wallace/Readers Digest Award, and the Witter Byner Prize. As the award citation for the last of these noted, "Mark Doty's poems extend the range of the American lyric." In 2011 Doty was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.
Doty teaches at Rutgers University and is a frequent guest at Columbia University, Hunter College, and NYU.
Mark Doty is the author of eight books of poetry, including Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems, which won the 2008 National Book Award, and My Alexandria, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is also the author of three memoirs: the bestselling Dog Years, Firebird, and Heaven's Coast, as well as a book about craft and criticism, The Art of Description: World Into Word. Doty has received two NEA fellowships, Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundation Fellowships, a Lila Wallace/Readers Digest Award, and the Witter Byner Prize. His next book of poetry, Deep Lane, is forthcoming.
About FIRE TO FIRE: NEW & SELECTED POEMS (Poetry, 2008)
National Book Award winner, Fire to Fire, collects the best of Mark Doty's seven books of poetry, along with a generous selection of new work. Our mortal situation, the evanescent beauty of the world, desire's transformative power, the dignity of the powerless, the instructive presence of animals, and art's ability to give shape to human lives: Doty's subjects echo and develop across twenty years of poems that speak to the crises and possibilities of our times.
About DOG YEARS: A MEMOIR (Memoir, 2007)
"To be loved by Doty, as a human or a canine, is to be elevated into a realm of utter glory, where one is cherished and cradled, sheltered and supported, and, most of all, where one's very essence is acknowledged and appreciated in a manner both simple and sublime. In his latest elegant and elegiac memoir, poet Doty recounts how the love of two dogs, Arden and Beau, sustained him during times of his most grievous losses, and how he, in turn, came to nurse them through their inevitable years of failing health. On the brink of a life-threatening depression, Doty recognized the necessity of caring for his beloved dogs, which then metamorphosed into a life-affirming realization that he was, in fact, the one being attended. Sprinkled among poignant and merry anecdotes about typical and peculiar doggie behavior are Doty's tender yet cogent reflections on the underlying truths such conduct reveals about the canine species, observations that transcendently celebrate the essential connection between man and pet."—Carol Haggas, Booklist

Can I connect my MacBook Pro to 2 external monitors?
I want to use the 2 monitors only, not the MBP's monitor.
I want to run 2 separate programs on 2 separate screens.

Best Answer:
A note regarding the 13" MacBook Pro: You CAN use two Thunderbolt displays with the 13", same as the 15" and 17". The difference is that if you connect a second Thunderbolt display to the 13" then the internal display is automagically deactivated. The 15" and 17" will drive all three displays with no trouble.

I hate to go against someone else's answer, but I have a 13" MacBook Pro (early 2011), and it does have Thunderbolt. All 2011 and later MacBook Pro's have Thunderbolt and all 2011 and later MacBook Air's have thunderbolt. If you have Thunderbolt, you can daisy chain you monitors together, like mentioned in the other answer. The Apple Thunderbolt Display is good for this, although a bit pricy ($999).

If you have a 13 inch model, no. If you have a 15 or 17 inch model from 2011 which has Thunderbolt then you can connect to two thunderbolt monitors by daisy chaining them together.

On Monday, city representatives toured around Hill Homes Housing property in Springfield for the first time since the June 1, 2011 tornado struck to see the scope of the damage and how they can help.
This tour was prompted by the Housing and Urban Development's plan to foreclose these damaged housing properties, which had been severely damaged by the disaster and then broken into by looters in the months following.
Although Hill Homes Housing is a HUD property, residents and city officials said HUD has done nothing to secure or repair the properties. Only makeshift, tattered blue tarps and boarded windows now protect these buildings against the elements.
One multi-million-dollar question that looms in the minds of residents and city officials is why nothing has been done yet.
"There was really no activity with rehabbing the property from June 1, 2011 until Dec. 31, 2011, so we really just want some transparency on the whole situation and to know what exactly happened during that six-month time span where nothing was actually done," said Vickie Washington, a former resident who was displaced after the tornado struck.
"This is a black eye to the city of Springfield, and hopefully in a few months it won't be a black eye. But at this point in time, I'm very outraged and very angry that this has taken place. It has taken us so long," said City Councilor Bud Williams of Springfield.
Springfield College has also been looking at the destroyed properties for renovation.

The dinners were unbelievable. You must try Prime Steakhouse. For $30.00 per person it is truly a value for the exceptional experience. Hint - reserve your spot on your embarkation date and you get a free bottle of wine. Also reserve ahead to insure your spot. It was full the entire cruise. We had lunch at Cucina de Capitano - awesome and free at lunch. You can also do dinner reservations ahead for this. The RED FROG PUB is a blast. The beer is fantastic but ask for a Dirty Mojito as well. Eric and the group were so much fun. You can also get some great food made with Conch (PRONOUNCED KONK) for snacks or even light meals.. Every meal, pizza and burrito we ate was out of this world.
SPECIAL PROPS to Viktoryia in Piano Bar. She is unbelievable at customer service and can whip up a martini. Be sure to try the sampler. My personal favorite was the Chipolte Martini. She can make anything very well. Junior and his team took excellent care of our state room and always remembered our name. SO POLITE and accomodating.

How can I have a relationship with God?
First you need to understand that God wants to have a relationship with you. God is a perfect God, and he is incapable of being in a relationship with us because of our sin. That being said, he knew that we as humans were going to sin, and in Genesis 3:15 right after Adam and Eve committed the first sin, he gave us a prophecy for a Savior to save us from our sins. He knew that Christ was going to be our way to have a relationship with him, and it was all planned before the creation of the world.
For you to have a relationship with God you need to believe the following, what is called the ABC'S of the faith. A stands for admitting you are a sinner. No one, except for Christ, has lived a sinless life, or even close to that (Rom 3:23). And the first step in coming to have a relationship with God is to admit that you need Christ in order to complete that relationship, and that your sin separates you from God.
The B stands for believe. You must believe in what the bible says about God and Christ. You must believe that he was born of a virgin (Matt 1:18-21), led a sinless life (Heb 4:15), performed miracles to show God's power and that he was God, died on the cross for the sins of the world in order that we may have a relationship with God (1 Pet 3:18), and that Christ resurrected from the grave to spend eternity in heaven (1 Cor 15:3-4).
The C stands for confess. Confessing your new found belief to others is so important. Others need to hear this new belief you have so they can help you along in your faith and encourage you in your relationship with God (Rom 10:9-13). Confessing your belief in him is not just about a one time confession, but about confessing day in and day out with your words and your actions (Luke 14:27).
This is basic, but it the foundation of the Gospel. God is love and wants you to have a relationship with him. If you have any questions, use the contact information below so I can help you see how much God loves you.

The Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) at Cooley Dickinson Hospital is comprised of patients and family members who have the desire to use their experience and skills to help the hospital in a number of ways, such as serving on the council or in other advisory roles.
According to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), "health care that is truly patient-centered considers patients' cultural traditions, their personal preferences and values, their family situations, and their lifestyles. Patient-centered care makes the patient and their loved ones an integral part of the care team who collaborate with health care professions in making clinical decisions."
At Cooley Dickinson, patient-centered care is a philosophy of providing care that encourages partnerships between patients, families, and health care providers. It also recognizes the importance of patient participation in the delivery of care at all levels of the organization, and this model emphasizes the strengths, priorities, and preferences that are unique to each patient.
Cooley Dickinson thanks its current council members for their contributions and commitment to patient-centered care. Current members include Sara Aierstuck, Edgar Cancel, Jeff Caplan, Mary Ann Cofrin, David Cohen, Dianne Cutillo, co-chair, Ellie Frasier, Robin Kline, Yechiael Lander, Jim Lomastro, Elvira Loncto, Laurel Milberg, Emily Nagoski, Donna O'Meally, Don Reutener, Don Robinson, Jeanne Ryan, David Stevens, co-chair, Pip Stromgren, and Barbara Williams.

Police give man with prostitute a break
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - When Dutch police stopped a car for a broken headlight and noticed the driver was accompanied by a prostitute, they gave him a break  and let him pay the traffic fine in cash rather than sending the ticket to his home.
"In the spirit of Christmas ... the man was allowed to leave the police station euro50 ($75) poorer but with an easy heart," a statement by Utrecht police Friday said.
The 40-year-old man, whose identity wasn't released, acknowledged the woman was a street prostitute after being stopped Thursday evening, the statement said.
Regulated prostitution in brothels is legal here, while street prostitution is illegal.
The officer wrote the man a ticket for the headlight and said it would arrive in an official police envelope.
The man "wanted to pay immediately because otherwise his wife could have seen that he was ticketed on the Europalaan (a well known pickup strip) in Utrecht, with all the consequences that would bring," the statement said.
After the man begged for mercy, the officer relented and took him to a nearby station to pay cash, it said.
Utrecht police spokeswoman Ellen de Heer said the statement was intended to show that police aren't the unbending rule-followers they are often made out to be.
"We have some feeling for people's individual situations," she said.

Re: Police give man with prostitute a break
Well...I am guessing that she may have found out by now then since the story got all the way out to Eagan MN.
That's just wrong, would have toldthe guy that is his own fault and he should not have been cheating.

We're all tourists sometimes
Each fall my friend from Florida reminds me of the Northeasterners (many from the greater Cooperstown area) who will be ""invading" their small Florida community for the winter/spring. He finds it very amusing, as he keeps in contact with Cooperstown comings and goings, that often times Cooperstown area residents complain about the influx of visitors to our small community. He points out the similarities in attitudesand willingly, of course, shares them.
This helps to remind me to remember that we all are tourists more times than we might realize. Very simply put, a tourist is defined as someone who visits places away from their residence to take advantage of a particular service or benefit that is not available in their home community, and, in most cases, spends money. Home community is where one resides and pays taxes. A tourist, in this instance, is a Cooperstown resident shopping in Oneonta, visiting Albany for a cultural experience, spending a few days in the Adirondacks and so on. It works in reverse too. People not residing in the village of Cooperstown coming here to shop, get gas for their auto and eat a meal can be considered a tourist.
My friend does admit that these seasonal visitors/seasonal residents contribute, in a huge way, to the economic health of the community. This is a similarity that we, village residents, often hear as well.
My friend and I talk about this and concur that life is indeed trade offs. Tourists/visitors spend money to keep our communities robust, employ people, keep Main Streets, robust, contributes generous sales tax revenue, provides businesses/attractions we might not otherwise be able to afford and maintain, to suggest a few. In return we deal with some inconveniences for sure, but adapt a bit differently for a couple months and survive just fine.
I'm appreciative of this annual reminder. Life is good in Cooperstown!
Rich McCaffery
Welcome, Dreams Park
Yes, the Dreams Park is open, and we are glad! At Portabello's, in Fly Creek, we welcome our annual influx. Established in 2002, we enjoy the excitement of the busy four corners of Fly Creek while visitors from all over stop in to enjoy the food and ambiance.
Open for lunch every day except Friday, and dinner seven days a week, the Kantors welcome family after family.
For a clerk to say that visitors are loud and rude is a sad commentary. It's amazing how quiet an empty restaurant is. Personally, I prefer the volume of a full restaurant. Sports, music, and good food all converge at the four corners in Fly Creek.
It's not that our visitors don't obey traffic laws, but they are busy staring at the sights. So, if a visitor has a camera around their neck, or are gazing upward, share in their appreciation of the life we often take for granted, and look out for them. See Cooperstown through the eyes of the tourist, and take the time to welcome them to your home town.
Our visitors, coming out of these past years of tough economic times, must spend wisely.
Provide quality products, give value for their hard earned dollars, and they will be appreciative.
We do exist so that kids can come and fulfill their dream of coming to Cooperstown. Their families work all year round to encourage developing athletes, as well as to raise the needed funds to make it all happen.
There is no terror in tourists.
Terror would be the World's Most Perfect Village bereft of visitors.
Whether you like baseball or not, remember that Cooperstown represents the home of baseball and the American way of life.
Celebrate it and appreciate those who come to pay homage at the shrine of Babe Ruth.

Tom Cruise dies again and again but comes back 'Groundhog Day' style in a fight against aliens in 'Edge of Tomorrow.' (Warner Bros.)
Every time you lose consciousness you wake up and it�s the beginning of the same day. Day after day after day.
It worked for Bill Murray in �Groundhog Day.� It sort of worked for Jake Gyllenhaal in �Source Code.� And now, somewhat surprisingly, it works for Tom Cruise in �Edge of Tomorrow.�
Of course, every day Cruise wakes up he�s battling squiggly-wiggly things from outer space. So that kind of takes some of the fun out of it, for Cruise�s character at least.
Luckily director Doug Liman (�The Bourne Identity,� �Mr. & Mrs. Smith�) has made sure to make the movie itself quite a bit of fun. Cruise�s action exploits are always most successful when they�re cheeky, and there�s plenty of cheek here.
It also helps that co-star Emily Blunt (this may be the closest thing Cruise has ever made to a buddy movie) is suddenly revealed as a full-blown action queen hottie. She�s a regular slice and dice machine when it comes to those squiggly-wigglies.
The time is the near future and the aliens, having overrun Europe, are about to jump the channel to England. The world�s armed forces are preparing for a D-Day type invasion. The chance that they might succeed has been sold to the world�s television audience thanks to a former ad man, Major Cage (Cruise).
But when Cage finds out he�s being assigned to film the invasion from within � in other words, go into battle � he bolts. That�s right, Tom Cruise plays a devout coward in this film.
Cage is taken into custody and given no training at all, one day before the invasion. Then he�s dragged onto a plane, dropped onto a beach and suddenly things are real. Turns out the whole thing is a set-up, aliens have buried themselves beneath the sand and they begin slaughtering soldiers.
Our reluctant hero gets lucky for a few minutes, but then a particularly large alien attacks him, a bomb goes off, and he�s dead.
Except he isn�t. That particular alien had magical blue time-travel blood (of course it did), which lets Cage wake up the day before the invasion over and over and over again. He keeps getting shipped off to battle and keeps getting killed, usually in darkly humorous ways. Eventually he learns to navigate the repetitive days, but he still keeps getting killed.
Then during one battle he runs into Rita (Blunt), the hero behind humankind�s only victory. She realizes what�s happened to Cage � it happened to her � and tells him to contact her next time he wakes up.
He does and the film then takes on the feel of a videogame. Every day Cage has to explain himself to Rita, then they have to work out all the exact moves they�ll need to survive on the battlefield and eventually destroy the enemy, thus saving mankind (it is a Tom Cruise movie, after all).
�Edge of Tomorrow� is one of those preposterous films that just guts out its ridiculous premise: Of course this is silly, it says, but isn�t it fun to watch? And the truth is Cruise�s easy charm (somehow intact despite everything), Liman�s confident direction and Blunt�s surly sincerity combine to sell the whole thing. Is this great art? Of course not. But it�s a kick.
