Diner Reviews
Definitely fine dining! Every
dish was equally delicious. We ate here for dinner and brunch, and it was great both times. Service was friendly and excellent."
Dined on 6/8/2014
We stayed at the hotel the night
before, so breakfast was included in our "Texas hospitality" package (see hotel website). We could choose from the full breakfast buffet and the omelette station. Buffet was above average in freshness, presentation, and taste. The smoked salmon and fixings were delicious--a nice touch. The omelette chef was super friendly. We chatted for five minutes while he prepared one of the best omelettes I've had; he made sure to sauté those onions to perfection! Cappuccino and latte (not included in price) were top notch. Service was friendly. Our table had a great view, adjacent to the massive window. Overall: Very good."

The food was okay. It wasn't
anything fancy really, hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. I did like the chickpeas and eggplant trio appetizer, basically it's hummus and babaganoush. The butternut squash soup was very sweet and watery... Not to my liking. We also had the mushroom and black bean empanadas that were nothing to write home about. For the cost, I would go elsewhere. Our waiter, however, was very friendly and attentive. He gets an A++!"
Dined on 11/9/2013
Food was excellent. Service was
prompt and our waitress was very knowledgeable about what was on the menu. Will definitely recommend to friends/colleagues as well as return myself."
Dined on 8/2/2013
Wow this restaurant gets better
with age and experience! Years ago we would reluctantly go here to eat . Years ago this place seemed hopeless from the service to stale menu options. But oh my! It is now somewhere where we love to go especially for the salmon, shrimp cilantro salad and The best corn pudding ever! Cody was our waiter for the weekend. He was attentive and friendly to all. My children beg to go for salmon, hot dogs and kids' steak all with crunchy tater tots!!! Way to go management! You fixed it and made this restaurant perfect! Thank you!!!"
Dined on 5/10/2013
The main thing that was a problem
besides that the mojito was mostly ice (it was good, though) was our bill was wrong. I ordered the pulled pork sliders which was on the menu for $13 but on our bill it was printed on the receipt for $15. We told our waiter and he finally came back with a total that was corrected, but did not show a full receipt that was correct. Did not apologize either. Seemed like he thought we were being too picky about it."
Dined on 3/13/2013
Not a good experience. Waiter
preoccupied with something. Waited 45 minutes for soup. The manager apologized and comped our food. I guess it was just a bad evening for them."
Dined on 11/12/2012
Typical Texas hotel food, except
probably pricier since it's a Westin."
Dined on 7/16/2012
Last minute gem staying the night
at La Cantera. Joey went above and beyond with a bottle of wine and a hand written card sent to our room on our 15 year anniversary. Completely blow away! Service was unbelievable!"
Dined on 7/12/2012
Very attentive and courteous
service. Menu was unique and food was delicious!"
Dined on 5/26/2012
We were looking for a brunch
location in the area, and did not realize this was the cafe at the Westin - hotel food! We needed to eat, so stayed, but it is what it is, just mediocre hotel food."
Dined on 4/8/2012
convenient for a hotel guest,
otherwise not worth a drive"
Dined on 2/17/2012
The meal was great. We had a
family style meal for a great price. A great place for Christmas."
Dined on 12/25/2011
My family's food was excellent. My
husband LOVED the chicken and waffles and my daughter got the rotisserie chicken and thought it was the best she had ever had. Even the chicken on the kids plate was flavorful and well seasoned according to my husband. I am a vegetarian so there was only one dish on the menu for me- but kudos for having a veg menu item at all. The eggplant was well cooked and seasoned but arrived somewhat colder that would be optimal and the rice was just ok. Overall it was much better than the usual assortment of side dishes that I am often stuck with. Side note- the restaurant was uncomfortably cold and our server said there was nothing they could do about it since the whole hotel is controlled on one system."
Dined on 12/19/2011
My reservation was at 11 am. Did
not get seated unill 11:15. Very few tables were even occupied. Service was slow. Food ordered were soups and salads. Took 1 hr to get our food and food was not as expected. They had a very off day."
Dined on 12/19/2011
Kids meal selection was excellent!
Food was great too! So hard to find "real" food on kids menus!!!! Kuddos to the chef!!"
Dined on 12/17/2011
Wow! My children crave their
salmon! Lures us back everyday of our stay at La Cantera! Would not say outstanding food four years ago, but the chef and managment really did an incredible job on turning it around! Good menu options and the children menu will is great...makes you want to eat your vegetables."
Dined on 11/27/2011
They have made incredible changes
and listened to their customers' wants and have conquered! The chef makes the best soups....especially the butternut squash and asparagas soup!"
Dined on 11/25/2011
Good hamburgers. Nice to dine
outside. Yummy salad with basil buttermilk dressing. SKIP the chicken & waffles."
Dined on 10/21/2011
I would recommend for dinner (with
some caveats), but not breakfast unless it is included with your room. We had dinner 2 nights in a row, and breakfast two days in a row while we were staying at the hotel. Service was very poor both nights -- though, second night the waiter comped part of our meal, which was nice. Staff are all very friendly and well-meaning -- but seem stretched thin. Menu does not have many options, although what they have is excellent. Breakfast buffet was only marginally better than the Marriott Courtyards we usually stay at. Breakfast ordered from the menu -- food was excellent but overpriced (as hotels generally are), and menu was very limited."
Dined on 9/10/2011
The service in this casual hotel
restaurant was far superior to that of it's Pricey upstairs neighbor. The filet was well prepared for half the cost. Adult Mac and cheese was amazing."
Dined on 9/4/2011
The waitress had poor training on
how to serve wine. She brought a totally different varietal and year from what we ordered and proceeded to open it without asking us AND it cost $12 more than the one we ordered. Even though the restaurant was practically empty when we walked in, we were seated with a view of the supply closet, by the window with the setting sun pushing the indoor temp to a very uncomfortable level. The food was good."
Dined on 8/20/2011
Service was terrible. We had
several different people that waited on us b/c they were apparently overwhelmed at the crowd due to the nice weather. Located near the pool at the Westin the view is spectacular. The food and wine were good if you could overlook the spotty service."
Dined on 5/14/2011
On the good side of average for a
hotel casual dining spot. A good place to bring big families or children."
Dined on 5/8/2011
Went to Brannon's for their
breakfast buffet, especially the egg/omelette station! Their options for omelettes is unrivaled as all of the ingredients are fresh & wholesome (variety of bell peppers, jalapenos are actually spicey (not sweet), bacon is well cooked, mushrooms crisp, spinach is fresh. etc). Their pastry selection is limited (mainly to philo-dough type of pastries with the exception of a muffin or two) and that could be improved upon. Their fruit bar is fresh, sweet & well-maintained (no stray fruit in other containers) as well as their yogurt selection and fabulous oatmeal & grit station! Plenty of condiments to add to either, with the granola & brown sugar being my favorites. Would like to see a pancake option added."
Dined on 5/8/2011
big dissapointment. not a good
setting for a romantic holiday meal, not even a holiday decoration on the table . special menu was limited and one of the only two entree choices was not available. simple planning would have made a difference."
Dined on 2/14/2011
The food was great and
surprisingly the portions were satisfying. Not over priced for the quality of the food and wine. Service was excellent as well and not to mention the beautiful scenery around the hotel."
Dined on 1/8/2011
We recently moved back to San
Antonio after more than 10 years living in Las Vegas. During our years in Vegas we had a tradition of having Christmas morning breakfast at the Bellagio. Brannon's may be our new tradition! At the Bellagio we had a view of their lovely gardens...at Brannon's we had a view of Texas! Just awesome. The food was excellent resort fare. Pricey, but good. The service was impressive and the friendliness of resort staff and wait staff was outstanding."
Dined on 12/25/2010
Brahmins made a celebration a
memorable experience. I recommended it to several people later that day for the wonderful service and food. I will most certainly visit again."
Dined on 12/16/2010
A lovely experience. I belong to a
group that meet there for lunch every year during the holidays. The food is excellent, as well as the presentation. Our waiter endeared himself, not only by the service, but by being patient enough to take pictures of our ladies. Brannon's is five-star in every aspect!"
Dined on 12/3/2010
Really, really enjoyed our meal.
Food was great for all..adults and children. good soups. alright waiter but really nice manager."
Dined on 11/26/2010
They have upped their game big
time. Food was incredible and it was not a year and a half ago. Liked everything we ordered especially the short ribs. My son likes the child menu salmon (had it twice). Miss the carrot soup but the tortilla soup is great too!"

I'm too young and handsome to remember the 1970s, but apparently the Cowboys' Roger Staubach suffered frequent comparisons to the Jets' Joe Namath. And as Staubach confirmed in this 1975 interview, even though he had foregone the swinging bachelor's life, he liked sex just as much as Joe Namath.
It's just too bad Staubach was married. Did you see all the rouge the interviewer was wearing? It just screams, "Name your price. Put it anywhere." Namath totally did her.

+ PIC supports Islandside project
The Longboat Key Public Interest Committee (PIC) recommends that the town's electorate vote for District 3 candidate David Brenner, District 1 candidate Lynn Larson and at-large candidate Phillip Younger in the March 16 municipal election.
PIC has also stated it supports the Longboat Key Club and Resort's Islandside renovation-and-expansion application, but still has concerns over water and traffic issues that it believes may arise from the project.
The PIC Board and attending PIC members said the committee participated in an objective and complex fact-finding and deliberative process as a predicate for its recommendations.
District 1 candidate Mayor Lee Rothenberg and at-large candidate Hal Lenobel declined to appear before the board. In a statement, the PIC board said their decisions not to attend"deprived PIC of valuable assessment information and caused its evaluations of those candidates to be based entirely on their records."
+ Town government extends invitation
The Longboat Key Town Commission is inviting its citizens to enroll in four classes offered as an opportunity to learn more about the town's government, its functions and responsibilities.
Classes will be offered from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on four consecutive Wednesdays in March, at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road. The classes will be held March 10, 17, 24 and 31.
For more information, call Susan Phillips, assistant to the town manager, at 316-1999, Ext. 243.
+ Swine flu vaccine offered at Bayfront
The Bayfront Park Recreation Center, 4052 Gulf of Mexico Drive, will be hosting the Sarasota County Health Department, which will offer a free swine-flu vaccine clinic from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 17 and Feb. 24.
For more information, contact Sarasota County Health Educator Dianne Shipley at 861-2852.
+ Clarification
• Phillip Younger is a candidate for the at-large commission seat currently held by Hal Lenobel.
+ Meetings & Agendas
• Town Commission Regular Workshop — 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18, Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
• Key Club and Resort Islandside renovation-and-expansion hearing — 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 19, Temple Beth Israel, 567 Bay Isles Road.

One very deserving couple got to see their big day become a reality on Sunday. Thomas and Rebecca Smith say FOX 5 viewers they say played a crucial role in making their wedding happen.Serious health problems nearly forced the Smiths to postpone their wedding, but now they are newlyweds and want to thank everyone who helped.Thomas Smith got to see his "princess" walk down the aisle of Heritage Baptist Church in Douglasville. He tells FOX 5 he wanted so much for this day to happen, and for them to be together forever. But for Smith, forever is something he and his bride do not take for granted just as they vow to love one another "in sickness and in health." About a year ago, their lives, their planning for the future and their big day took a sudden turn. A condition related to his diabetes forced Thomas to be in urgent need of both a new kidney and a new pancreas. Every cent the couple had started to go towards this, leaving almost nothing to pay for their October wedding.Two months ago, we first posted the story about their plight. Then, Rebecca could not even afford a wedding dress.Since then, they say they have been "enveloped in love from our community." Donations started to pour in from FOX 5 viewers. Soon a dress, tux, shoes and wedding bands were promised to the couple. Brides Atlanta helped the couple with the majority of the donations.The couple says they were overwhelmed by the generosity.They say Thomas should get his transplants early next year and they hope their new union will last a lifetime.

There are at least 2 bands known as "Peace". 1. An indie band based in Vancouver, British Columbia whose debut EP 'Slow Children' was released summer 2009. http://www.myspace.com/peacevancouver 2. Based out of Kamloops, BC, PEACE is a funk-rock quintet comprised of two guitarists, a bassist, a percussionist, and an additional bassist. The bands music is multi-culti-folk-hop, a socially-conscious jam-slam avalanche of killer hooks and fantastic grooves. With influences ranging from 311 to Rusted Root, the end result is a jah-monkey trance sound that is minimal, maximal, tasty and tight.

News: 50 Cent Breaks Down, "I'm Crying For No Reason, I Think I'm Losing My Mind"
Thursday, Sep 16, 2010 11:49AM
G-Unit leader 50 Cent displayed his sensitivity on Twitter today by expressing the affection he has toward his son.
50 also posted a photo of his son, Marquise, when he was a baby.
"I just woke up thank god for today.I'm truly blessed. I'm getting ready to jump in the shower," 50 tweeted Thursday (September 16).
"This is my baby when he only had 4 teeth. I love him so much, I be missing him http://plixi.com/p/45425272"
"I just saw that picture of my son and now I'm crying for no reason I think I'm really losing my mind"
"I don't think people understand me.I work so hard to get were I'm at. Thats why I get so mad when people are up set with my success" (50 Cent's Twitter)
In June 2007, the rapper's baby's mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, took him to court over child support payments.
Rapper 50 Cent's child support payments are no chump change. He doles out $25,000 a month in child support and household expenses to the mother of his 10-year-old son, Marquise Jackson. But the boy's mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, says that's not enough. The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, is "worth tens and tens of millions of dollars," said her attorney, Raoul Felder. (USA Today)
Despite multiple court appearances, 50 had his child support payments reduced by a judge in February 2008.
Despite attempts to obtain a $50,000 per month child support order, Shaniqua Tomkins, who is the mother of 50 Cent's ten year old son, Marquis, will receive a less than $10,000 order from her rapper ex. Tomkins asked for $50,000 a month and was granted $25,000 a month while the court went through her and Marquis' expenses. A ruling was handed down earlier this week: Tomkins will now receive a paltry $6,700 a month in support from Fitty. The rapper's lawyer, Brett Kimmel, said, "My client and I are very happy with the ruling." (Hip Hop Pop Crunch)
A photo cropped image of 50's son reportedly popped up on a Rick Ross promotional website last year and continued a feud against his rap rival.
Fif said the "Psychic Told Me" video was his reaction to seeing a website (ThisIsCurly.com) allegedly connected to Rick Ross, which focused on attacking 50 and promoting Ross' upcoming album Deeper Than Rap. On the site, there is a very disrespectful photo-shopped image of 50's son, Marquise. According to 50, the site and photo has been up since Sunday (February 8). (Miss Info TV)

More quote details and news » CEO Steve Ballmer opted not to participate in the company's fourth-quarter conference call with Wall Street's bean counters Thursday.
No surprise, as Ballmer never plays a role in these shindigs. A little cheeky, however, given that, just a week earlier, Ballmer had announced a major reorganization that shifts the responsibility accorded to top executives and that aims to make Microsoft (ticker: MSFT) a "devices and services company," whatever that is.
Surely, these earnings calls, in which stock analysts drone on with piddly questions about minutiae, are a tedious drag. Humoring them is one of the unfortunate obligations of being a $266 billion company. But given the momentous nature of the re-org, one wonders, would it have killed Ballmer to join the proceedings just this once?
In the breach, the new chief financial officer, Amy Hood, did a credible job, even if some of the answers she provided were the equivalent of "You want fries with that?" -- perfunctory and less than edifying.
All this came as Microsoft missed revenue and profit estimates by a sizable margin, in what Citigroup analyst Walter Pritchard termed its "sloppiest quarter in memory."
Revenue in the Windows division, which sells operating systems for personal computers, fell 6%, year over year, when one excludes amounts booked in prior quarters but not recorded on the income statement until last quarter.
Microsoft also took a $900 million write-down for cutting the price of its Surface tablet to $349 from $499.

Even Microsoft's Business Division, a relatively healthy part of the company's story, quarter after quarter, saw its sales crimped by consumers who put off purchases of new personal computers and thus of Microsoft Office, too.
Hood warned that results will continue to be pressured by slumping consumer PC sales this quarter, further postponing the rebound in that market that Microsoft and Intel INTC +0.78% Intel Corp.

I said last week that investors were generally giving Microsoft a pass on the rotten PC market, but I was clearly wrong about that. Friday they brought their disappointment front and center, driving the stock down more than 11.4%, to $31.40. One reason for the selloff: With the shares up 33% for the year going into Thursday's call, the bulls took some profits. If that's the case, then I expect some people to shrug off this latest disappointment and quickly return to the stock.
It's also possible that the messy quarter is prompting investors to ask where the reorganization is taking the company. Hood said that the full story of how it will affect the company will come in late September, when Microsoft holds its annual meeting with analysts.
In the meantime, here's something to chew on. The new direction could imply a serious threat to earnings at an organization that long has enjoyed gross profit near 80% of sales, and operating profit of 30% or better. Remember, the motto of this reorganization is "devices and services." If Microsoft wishes to dig deeper into the hardware business, in which the Xbox has been a hit, but Surface has been a flop, that will increase its cost of goods sold. And if it wishes to build more data centers to support its "Azure" cloud-computing service, that also will boost its product costs, capital-investment needs, and depreciation.
Indeed, cost of goods, Hood said last week, is expected to rise 20% this quarter.
IN CUTTING HIS RATING on the shares Friday, to the equivalent of Hold from Buy, Cowen's Gregg Moskowitz warned that "gross margins are likely to come under increasing pressure going forward, as Microsoft focuses on building out its data centers to provide services such as Azure and Office 365," the online version of its Office productivity suite.
The operating profit for the Windows division, estimates Moskowitz, was 45% last quarter. That's worrisome because it's generally higher than the company average, at 50% to 60%. The analyst thinks the overall corporate operating margin will decline to 33.6% this fiscal year from the adjusted 36% in the year just ended.
Again, we don't know for certain if such concern is warranted, and we won't know until we hear from Waldo, sometime in September.
We can't know, in other words, if the fundamentals are about to get better or worse for Microsoft, so we'll have to wait and see if sentiment, suddenly so terribly dark, will again brighten for the software giant.

Four months ago, I wrote that SanDisk seemed to be the memory stock most likely to have outperformance past June, based on its historical trading patterns ("Memory Stocks Are Booming, but Don't Expect It to Last," March 18).

The bears are waiting for the manufacturing pendulum to swing back, and for new investments to boost supply and clobber prices.
So far, there seems little evidence of that. In fact, some contend that a structural shift is under way in the memory-chip business, with the most advanced parts being so expensive to manufacture that supply will be constrained for some time to come.
That's not certain, but until there's some sign of the bump-up in supply that the bears hypothesize, the stock is likely to continue to work.

The Worth County board of
education has temporarily plugged the plug on their agreement with the Marine
Corps Logistics Base, impacting more than 50 children on the base.
Children whose parents
serve in the military won't be able to go to school in Worth County anymore
because the Worth County Board of education voted to discontinue offering
service to active duty military children.
The Worth County Board of
Education voted Thursday to suspend a policy that allowed students whose
parents are soldiers living on the military base to attend Worth County
This policy is scheduled to take effect this upcoming school
year. School board members say they made
the decision after an extensive budgetary review and discussion.
They say the cost of having MCLB students
attend Worth County schools was becoming a financial burden.
Col. Donald Davis with the
Marine Corps Logistics base says this is an unfortunate event and released this
statement, saying:
"We certainly
understand the fiscal realities, however we have been completely caught off
guard by this Worth County Board of Education decision. Military children pay a
huge price already, so for our kids to be paying the bill when the base
provides 1.4 billion to the local economy hurts. We hope that the Worth County
Board of Education will reconsider or at least grandfather the 57 students who
are already in the system and currently benefiting from this agreement," said Col Donald Davis, commanding officer, Marine Corps Logistics Base.
We were unable to get a comment from the
Worth County school superintendent. For
now MCLB parents have to scramble and find a school for their child to attend
before the new school year starts, in three weeks.

Scottish health minister welcomes rotavirus vaccine
– Scotland's Public Health Minister Michael Matheson
Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrhoea in young children and I welcome the use of any vaccine that can protect them.
In some of the most serious cases, the infection can result in a hospital stay, which can be distressing for the children and their families. It is thought that with the vaccine, there could be 70% fewer hospital stays as a result.
Rotavirus is highly contagious and can affect around 140,000 infants in the UK every year. I would encourage parents of young children to take up this vaccine when the programme begins.

Virginia Tech's Conservation Management Institute (CMI), a center within the College of Natural Resources, is helping conserve natural resources around the world by providing research and development services to natural resource agencies and organizations.
The collaborative efforts of Virginia Tech and other research institutions couple technology integration and support to assist with projects ranging from work to help save endangered species to vegetation mapping.
CMI develops and evaluates new technology solutions for its partners. Students and faculty work with CMI staff on projects that lead to new ways of collecting, processing, evaluating, packaging, and delivering information.
It provides support to organizations that work to help restore land, recover biodiversity, and teach communities how to dramatically improve environmental protection status. They are also able to take inventory of and monitor resources, prepare management plans, and train staff in important new techniques.
Virginia Tech faculty and students are able to participate in the design and implementation of various projects, allowing students to gain professional experience. Faculty members benefit, too. They gain access to expanded capabilities—both technical and managerial—making their proposals more efficient to administer and more likely to be funded.
Exploring renewable energy: CMI encourages developers, landowners, and agency representatives to support a biomass energy industry in Virginia that relies on dedicated herbaceous energy crops like switchgrass and other similar grasses.
These high-energy grasses can be the feedstock for
Additionally, the center sponsors coordination meetings and landowner outreach programs that make available technology and techniques that will help the new industry to expand in Virginia.
Teaming up for wildlife : CMI recently entered into a partnership with the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation (WBWF). Their partnership is designed to help expand capacity to perform conservation projects. It will also assist CMI in engaging the public for environmental education, landowner outreach, land restoration, and wildlife and fish conservation.
CMI and WBWF are participating in a stream restoration project in Franklin County, Va., that involves removing a dam. They are also providing natural resources mentoring to support young people considering a career in natural resources.
Saving bats: In response to declining populations of many bat species, CMI has established a new approach to monitoring and taking inventory of bats. The new techniques are aimed at helping natural resource agencies better manage and recover bat populations.
The newly available technology for identifying and counting bats relies on new physical sampling techniques and the use of sophisticated acoustic monitoring and data filtering that will permit the low-cost collection and analysis of data.
Resolving conflict: CMI and the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences are collaborating to establish the Virginia Tech Center for Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution.
This new center will use education, research, and outreach to help address costly conflicts that arise between the humans and area wildlife of rural areas as they become more developed.

It's do or die time for both Manchester City and Napoli in the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City are in second place behind Bayern Munich in Group A, but Napoli have already played the Bavarian giants twice and are just two points behind City with a trip with strugglers Villarreal still on the cards. A win at the San Paolo would seal the deal for City, but anything else would make qualification very interesting indeed.
City come into the match as the form side. So far, they've dominated the Premier League to the tune of 43 points from 45 games - not even defending champions Manchester United have been able to slow them down - and despite earning just one point from their first pair of matches have reeled off two straight wins against Villarreal to hold a strong position in the group. However, Napoli have already showed that they can keep up with the best sides in this competition, holding City to a draw at the Etihad Stadium while keeping things relatively close against Bayern in their past two matches.
It's difficult to get much of a bead on the Italian side, actually - they're clearly a better team than they were last year, with Gokhan Inler replacing Michel Pazienza in the midfield, but in league play they've been incredibly inconsistent and they seem unable to break down teams who set out just to defend. This is all despite the undeniable attacking ability of their attack trident, which features Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani, all names certain to cause some consternation in City's formidable defence.
Despite being two points back, a draw probably suits Napoli here. Bayern dismembered City when they visited the Allianz Arena during matchday two, and Roberto Mancini and company won't want things to come down to the last day, where the Partenopei have the far easier task of going to Villarreal and coming away with three points. Watch for City to commit bodies forward and try to overrun the Gokhan Inler/Walter Gargano central midfield pairing while the hosts play on the counterattack. It should be a fantastic match, and hopefully there won't be too much in the way of Naples's traditional extracurriculars off the pitch.
Projected Lineups
Napoli (3-4-2-1): Morgan de Sanctis; Hugo Campagnaro, Paulo Cannavaro, Salvatore Aronica; Christian Maggio, Gokhan Inler, Walter Gargano, Juan Zuniga; Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi; Edinson Cavani.
Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Joe Hart; Aleksandar Kolarov; Joleon Lescott, Vincent Kompany, Micah Richards; Nigel de Jong, Gareth Barry; David Silva, Yaya Toure, Adam Johnson; Mario Balotelli.
Join us here on SB Nation Soccer for live coverage of the match at 7:45 PM GMT (2:45 PM EST).

Throughout the years we have dedicated many segments to the science of happiness. Tonight we will look at some new research related to happiness and some components that have been identified as essential to creating a happy soul.
What are some of the basics that we know about happiness?
- Always quoted, the studies by the University of Illinois' Ed Diener report that happiness is the most valued outcome of people throughout the world
- Happiness is valued more than being rich, getting into heaven, and finding a purpose or meaning in life.
- Happiness has been linked to higher immune functioning and boosts in creativity.
- Happiness is defined by most people as a "sense of peace" or contentment in their life.
What else do we know about Happiness?
- Studies we have discussed in the past have shown that we all have a natural "set point" for happiness, but that our choices can affect our happiness quotient.
- You can choose to move your happiness level by making choices that enhance your well-being.
- Now we know that risk is an important element in happiness. Recent research shows that when you stretch and expand your risk level, your happiness level grows.
- We also have learned that those who are curious in nature are happier people than those who do not take risks or reach for new opportunities.
What tips do you have for us as a means of enhancing our happiness?
- Search out new activities. Stretch your limits and go beyond comfortable boundaries. Try a new sport, or take a class, or do something you've always wanted to do.
- Focus less on details: Happiest people don't get caught in the small things… they tend to be less critical and accepting. So open your mind to seeing the positive.
- Support a friend: Happiness studies show that those who lend a hand and support others are much happier. Studies also show that if you spend time with a friend talking about memories you will enhance your happiness level, as well as theirs.
- Be comfortable with emotions: Happiest people know there are positive times and some uncomfortable times and they are willing to let things roll off their back. Happiest people know how to find a balance and maintain some stability in daily life.

I recently tried to install Inventor 2012 but during the installation process I got a prompt to close Windows Explorer before continuing. I had the option to close it and reboot it after the install or continue and restart the pc after installation, so I chose to continue without closing Explorer. Soon after that I got another error and the installation closed but I had the Inventor 2012 icon on my desktop but I couldn't open it because it gave an error. I tried reinstalling but then in the autorun it said that Inventor 2012 is already installed, all I could do was install the other parts. I closed it, uninstalled all Autodesk products (I had Inventor 2011 installed) and tried again with the same result. I followed the instructions from Autodesk on how to perform a clean uninstall and still the same result: Autodesk Inventor 2012 already installed. I used Revo Uninstaller for these tasks, deleted all the folders and registry keys. I also tried a removal tool to remove all Autodesk products from my pc but it didn't detect any. I tried installing Inventor directly from the .msi file, skipping the autorun, but I get error 1606 cannot access network path /bin. I tried solutions found on the web to resolve the error (deleting or editing registry keys and automated fix) but it didn't work.
So this is my predicament. What can I do? I am out of options, the only thing left that I can think of is to format drive C and close Explorer when the installer tells me to. Maybe there's an easier way? Please help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
For more information on the Autodesk KB Support article concerning the clean uninstall of Autdoesk products, see this link:
If that doesn't work, Installation problems may be resolved using the Microsoft Installer Clean Up Utility. For more information on this program, please my forum post here:
i installed the file to my portable hard drive accidentally. i removed it from the hard drive, and now i can't install it to my desktop because of this: (see attachment) how to i do this?
The Clean Up Utility did the trick. Thank you!
glydrfreak, try using one of the methods listed in my links above.
mihai20, glad you are fixed up!
i can't figure out how to run it. it's not in the start menu anywhere.
It gets installed to the root of the start menu.

CATEGORIES MoviesAfter trying his hand at the action game in this year's 'Hanna,' director Joe Wright is going back to period pieces with 'Anna Karenina,' and he's bringing a familiar face with him. (Hint: she's pictured.)
Adapted by screenwriter Tom Stoppard ('Shakespeare in Love') from Leo Tolstoy's landmark novel, Wright has pegged 'Atonement' star Keira Knightley for the titular role. Jude Law has signed on to play Knightley's husband Aleksei Karenin, while Aaron Johnson will play Count Vrosky.
According to Deadline, 'Anna Karenina' is set to hit theaters in the second half of 2012. That gives you more than enough time to finally dust off Tolstoy's 800-page behemoth in preparation.

Harvest 2013 - Fast Pace, Good Quality
Harvest began almost a month ago on August 30, which was a very typical start date for us. Relative to the past three years, the difference has been in the pace of harvest since the start, which has been fast. It kicked off with a warm period over Labor Day weekend and for the first week of September which ripened just about all of the chardonnay and pinot noir in Rosemary's Vineyard. Things cooled dramatically after that, which slowed everything down. In fact some sugar levels actually went down, implying that the grapes were rehydrating. Another warming trend coincided with the Harvest Moon, which quickened our pace again. At this point, we are about 65% done with our harvest in the Arroyo Grande and Edna Valleys and anticipate being just about complete by October 10. So far all of the lots of pinot noir we've pressed off have had good clean flavors and elegant texture, similar to 2012.
Speaking of the Harvest Moon, check out this video we shot on September 19. It shows every step in our process of producing pinot noir from night harvest in the early morning, through destemming, pressing and finishing with the last punch downs of the day. I also have a short video with Eric Johnson discussing night harvest at Rosemary's Vineyard. Enjoy!

Vikings' 60-second rant: Would Tarvaris be that much worse?
You have to ask, more than a third of the way through a trying Vikings season, and no more trying to anyone than Brett Favre, is the alternative — Tarvaris Jackson — that much worse?
Patriots-Vikings matchup of the day: Tuesday
Here's a matchup to watch in the Week Eight game between the Patriots and Vikings:
SNF draws highest-ever ratings for Vikings-Packers
Brett Favre's second and perhaps final visit to Lambeau Field as a visiting player drew the highest-ever ratings for NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
Vikings MVP Meter: Week Seven
Let's look at how the Vikings' team MVP candidates shape up following their 28-24 loss to the Packers in Week Seven.
Did Brett Favre earn his money?
Brett Favre was one pass away from beating the Packers, but even if he had, his play must improve.
Favre injury wouldn't completely damage value of Vikings receiving corps
If Tarvaris Jackson is forced to start for the injured Brett Favre, fantasy owners shouldn't abandon hope for all Minnesota pass catchers.
Childress: Favre has ankle injury; in walking boot
Vikings head coach Brad Childress told reporters that QB Brett Favre has an avulsion fracture and stress fracture in his left ankle and is in a walking boot. His status for the team's Week Eight game vs. the Patriots ...
Feel the tension: Childress, Favre not together
All you needed to do was watch Vikings head coach Brad Childress' postgame press conference to know that he was upset with QB Brett Favre's play.
Vikings' players of the week: Week Seven
Here are the Vikings' players of the week on offense, defense and special teams from their 28-24 loss in Week Seven to the Packers in Green Bay.
Favre needs to hit more singles, doubles
You can understand Brett Favre wanting to hit a home run in his final at-bat at Lambeau Field, but he has to consider dialing it down a notch for the Vikings to win more.
A marketing agent for Conley says that the New York Jets have released the punter five days before the team's regular-season opener against the Buffalo Bills.||||||| Chuck Vine of Titan Sports Group tells The Associated Press on Tuesday that Colney is "disappointed, but confident he'll be playing this season." The team had not immediately announced the move, which was first reported by the New York Post.

A reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of the gunman who bound and robbed a 77-year-old Zwolle man in his home last week.
According to the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office, a masked gunman broke into the elderly man's home off of LA Hwy 1215 early on the morning of June 14. The victim was awakened at gunpoint, and then his hands and ankles were bound with black electrical tape by the gunman.
Police say the victim was then robbed of his television, and cash from his wallet and a safe.
The gunman left the home in the victim's silver 2002 Ford Expedition (LA license # WJG 675). Police say this vehicle was last seen on LA Hwy 1215 traveling toward LA Hwy 191.
The victim described the gunman as a white male standing about 5' 6" to 5' 9" tall with a medium build and stated that he heard another person in the house while being held hostage.
Police believe a silver, compact SUV is a possible vehicle used to assist in the home invasion.

Crime Stoppers, along with the family of the victim is offering a $1,500.00 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons involved in the crime.Copyright 2013 KSLA.

Six Dolphins earn preseason all-conference recognition
With training camp a week away, it's time to purchase your preseason football preview magazines to get ready for the upcoming season.
Phil Steele's preseason magazine has the most detailed coverage of Football Championship Subdivision schools and recognized six Dolphins on his all-Pioneer Football League team while picking JU to finish seventh in the nine-team league.
Senior offensive guard Chris Tessitore was the only Dolphin picked to the all-PFL first team. Tessitore has started every game for the Dolphins the past three years and will be called up on to anchor the front five again this season.
On the all-PFL second team, JU was well represented with five players earning recognition. Offensively, senior wide receiver Geavon Tribble and senior offensive tackle Michael Aguilar were selected along with sophomore running back Rudell Small.
Tribble enters his final season with a chance at setting the school record for most career receiving yards as he is already ranked third on the all-time list. Aguilar has started every game the past two seasons as well on the offensive front.
Small led the team in rushing a year ago despite being plagued by injuries over the final eight weeks of the season.
The two Dolphin defenders to earn preseason recognition were senior defensive back Robson Noel and junior lineback Allen Fennell. Noel led the team in tackles last year with more than 80 while Fennell has been a mainstay at middle linebacker over the past two seasons.

On Monday, an appellate court upheld the DWI conviction of a Minnesota woman who was charged after she fled domestic violence while intoxicated and had her driver's license revoked.
Jennifer Marie Axelberg appealed on the grounds that she needed to flee for her safety after an argument with her husband turned physical at a family cabin in Kanabec County. She asked the district court to permit her to use the affirmative defense of necessity, but they refused. The case then went before the Minnesota Court of Appeals, which affirmed the lower court's decision.
On May 30, 2011, Axelberg and her husband had driven to the family cabin near Mora, Minn., and later went to the Fish Lake Resort, which was just under a mile away. While there, the Axelbergs drank alcohol and began to argue.
Axelberg and her husband, Jason, returned to their cabin at about 1:30 a.m. and both were intoxicated when they began to argue again. This time, the argument quickly escalated to physical violence, with Jason Axelberg pushing his wife in the chest and hitting her on the head twice.
Since he had also taken her cell phone and she feared he would continue to assault her, Jennifer Axelberg got into the couple's car and locked the doors. At that point, Jason Axelberg climbed onto the vehicle and hit the windshield with his fist, cracking the glass in "a spider pattern," according to court documents.
Jennifer Axelberg said she feared her husband would get inside and continue the assault, so she started the car and drove away as he shouted and ran after the car. She drove back to Fish Lake Resort, and Jason Axelberg arrived soon after. A bystander called police and intervened to stop him from continuing to act aggressively toward his wife.
A responding deputy reported that Jennifer Axelberg did not have physical injuries and appeared calm when he arrested Jason Axelberg on domestic assault and disorderly conduct charges. Jason Axelberg later pleaded guilty to both offenses.
Jennifer Axelberg was also arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired, and the commissioner of public safety revoked her driver's license under the implied-consent statute.
The necessity defense is a common-law, affirmative defense that has previously been applied in criminal cases and is applied "only in emergency situations where the peril is instant, overwhelming, and leaves no alternative but the conduct in question."
To successfully assert the defense, a defendant must show that they had no other option but to violate existing law by demonstrating that the harm resulting from obeying the law would significantly exceed the harm caused by breaking it.
The opinion of the court explains that any defendant must show that there was no legal alternative, that he or she was in danger of imminent physical harm and that there was a direct connection between breaking the law and preventing the harm in order for the necessity defense to apply; however, it is not applicable when the reason for claiming the defense arose from the defendant's own negligence or recklessness.
No appellate court in the state has ever applied the necessity defense in civil, implied-consent license revocation case, so there is no precedent for it to be applied.
Furthermore, the ruling found that even if the court determined that the necessity defense did apply in this instance, it is "the province of the legislature to modify the common law" because the existing statute limits the issues which can be addressed in such hearings -- and the necessity defense does not currently fall within that scope.
The majority opinion of the court, penned by Judge Randolph W. Peterson, certainly stopped short of recommending a change to existing law, however, describing the necessity defense's exclusion from the statute as consistent with the requirement of liberally interpreting the statute "in favor of the public interest and against the private interest of the drivers involved."
Although the court acknowledged Axelberg was threatened with physical injury, the ruling also states that she created an additional risk of physical injury to herself and other motorists by driving while impaired.
Judge Margaret H. Chutich wrote she respectfully dissents from the majority opinion because although there is no precedent for recognizing a necessity defense in such cases, she does not believe the lack of a published opinion should "foreclosed its availability."
"I believe that the defense is available in cases where extraordinary circumstances exist," she wrote.
Chutich described the decision before Jennifer Axelberg as an "agonizing choice" of remaining trapped while her violent husband continued to try to beat her or drive a short distance to what she hoped would be a safe location.
Jennifer Axelberg testified that she only entered the car because she had no other options. Her husband was blocking the door to the cabin, had taken her cell phone and could outrun her in an area that was unlit and unfamiliar to her.
"Axelberg reasonably feared for her safety and testified that she did not intend to drive the car anywhere," Chutich wrote. "After Axelberg locked herself in the car, her husband jumped onto the hood of the car, screamed at her, and punched the windshield hard enough to spider the glass. Axelberg testified that when her husband pounded on the window, she was 'really, really scared.' Only then did she start the car and back out of the driveway with her husband still on the hood, pounding on the windshield."
Chutich argued that the district court declined to analyze the unique circumstances of the case and pointed out that the state widely recognizes necessity as a defense in criminal cases, exempting acts done from compulsion or necessity. Furthermore, the Minnesota Supreme Court has previously considered the necessity defense in instances when a statue did not specifically provide for its application.
Chutich contends that it is still an open question whether the necessity defense can be raised in civil, implied-consent cases. She would have reversed the lower court's decision and remanded additional findings to see whether the facts of the Axelberg case meet the requirements of the necessity defense.

Rhett Rebold's curator insight, April 14, 2013 10:50 AM
Certainly it has incrementally changed, but not enough to warrant rolling back the Voting Rights Act. Mrs. Henderson's stories help to illuminate the situation.
Monica S Mcfeeters's curator insight, February 22, 10:51 AM
This is about the new restrictive voting policy in North Carolina and the Moral Monday push back from thousands of NC citizens there that has been occurring for months on Mondays. Money in politics is behind the push to find ways to take the voters out of the vote. We voters are the Wild Card that could undermine the influence of money in politics and policy shaping.
Restrictive voting mandates have been pushed in a growing numbers of states. One must ask how does shortening early voting and Sunday voting and other types of changes prevent voter fraud which really has not even been demonstrated anyway? It just prevents many from voting.
The proven fraud only occurred in registration to any noticeable degree because people were paid by the numbers they registered. Mickey Mouse and the dead people they registered did not actually show up to vote. Had they have shown up I'm sure someone would have noticed. Some might add that deleting voters in Florida and counting chads may have been the last seriously potential voting fraud and having voters photo IDs really would not have prevented that. Others might say the MItt Romney's son owning the voting machines could have also posed more serious risk of voter fraud then recruiting lots of people to physically walk into voting booths and personally lie about who they are, so that they might wait in line over and over and do that multiple times on the same few days or weeks. Think about it...How much would you have to pay people to do that?
Rhett Rebold's comment, June 17, 2013 8:42 PM
This isn't a real analysis of the economy, it is a typical NewsMax fear-based ad for a book. The market was already collapsing in slow motion by 2006 - not so amazing.
Margaret Reeve Panahi's comment, June 18, 2013 11:02 PM
I had heard this predicted before, but I thought that this might be a new round of talk on the subject. Thanks for the info and comment.

This is the fifth generation of the Aeropro racket. It has constantly been improved to offer its signature power and topspin.The Woofer system is the first technology to enable the frame and strings to interact each and every time a player hits the ball. It provides 25% longer ball-string contact time, with more sensation and greater precision.New to this racket is Cortex Active Technology. Every time a racket hits a ball it generates thousands of vibrations; some cause discomfort, some give players a better feel of the ball. Each player is different, so this system has three types of dampeners to enable all types of player to find just the right amount, and kind of, sensation to suit their specific preference. Concentrated at 3 and 9 clock positions on the string bed, is the combination of carbon and stiff Tungsten fibres that make the racket twice as stable as standard carbon frames, for less torque and more precision.
Specification:. Head size: 100sq. inch. Weight: 250g. Balance point: 330 mm. Length: 26 inch.

Mark Sanchez's shoulder injury isn't as severe as it could have been, but the Jets' signal-caller will still need to undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury.
The news comes from Rich Cimini of ESPN New York, who reports that although there's no fractured collarbone, there's still a chance of tissue damage that could keep Sanchez out.
One would think a shoulder injury to one of the two participants in a quarterback battle would sort things out, but somehow, it's just making things more complicated. The consensus around the squad was that the organization was tired of Sanchez, now in his fifth year and seemingly no better than he was as a rookie, and that they were desperate to bench Sanchez for Geno Smith. All Smith needed to do, it seemed, was stay healthy and not give the ball away a bunch. Instead, he turned the ball over three times and ran out of the back of the end zone for a safety. Sanchez outplayed Smith Saturday night, but was still in the game in the fourth quarter when he got injured -- drawing criticism of Rex Ryan for leaving him in that long.
Now, the team has brought in John Beck and Matt Leinart as insurance for Sanchez.

If you've ever wondered how to leave your mark at work in life, the steps can be simple.
Teri Aulph with Aulph Consulting stopped by KTUL's Good Morning Oklahoma Tuesday to share four ways to build and leave a legacy.
Aulph decided to share these tips in honor of Bill Mitchell, who left an example of excellence and hard work for may of his former coworkers to follow.
"We can all do that," she said. "I think that when you think about excellence every single day, and your own personal best, that has a ripple effect and it flows out to everyone you work with.
1. A Legacy of Excellence – To leave a legacy of excellence; strive to be your best every day. You serve as a role model for your friends and your colleagues. One person in pursuit of excellence raises the standards and behaviors of everyone around them. Your life is your greatest legacy. Set your bar high.
2. A Legacy of Encouragement - You have a choice. You can lift others up or bring them down. Twenty years from now when people think of you what do you want them to remember? Who will you encourage today? Be the person people think of years from now as one who lifted them up.
3. A Legacy of Purpose – People are most energized when they are using their strengths and talents for a purpose beyond themselves. To leave a legacy of purpose, make your life about something bigger than you. When you are guided by a purpose, you are less likely to find yourself on a path to a destination you wouldn't choose.
4. A Legacy of Grace – Remaining poised in grace allows you to maintain emotional control. People trust and listen to those they can rely on to be consistent and strong. Seeing the best in people and accepting others as they are, will always reflect the best in you.

* Point 1 Although this presidential debate is about foreign policy and national security, we cannot avoid mention of the financial meltdown on Wall Street. Without a strong economy we cannot be strong in national security. The Wall Street fiasco will cost well over $700 billion dollars, the current cost of the Iraq War. The mistakes in both cases, Wall Street and
Senator McCain was a key leader in pushing for the invasion of
* Point 2: Sen. McCain will claim, with some facts to his credit, that his advocacy of the surge in
We have put one side in power, a sectarian Shi'a coalition that has conducted ethnic cleansing, torture and the detention of 50,000 people in prisons where human rights are abused every day. We have left Moktada al-Sadr's army intact in
If peace really is "on the horizon", as the White House claims, we could begin withdrawing all our troops now. Instead, under the Bush-McCain plan, we will have more troops on the ground in
* Point 3: The solution is to withdraw our ground troops as promised, perhaps starting with an immediate redeployment from
It is worth noting that both Bush and McCain have abandoned their long-standing principle of never accepting a withdrawal deadline, and now are playing election-eve word games about "horizons" and "aspirations". We all remember past presidents promising they would never send ground troops to
* Point 4: We should not leap from the simmering quagmire in
* Point 5: Every civilian casualty, every destroyed village, gives birth to new al-Qaeda recruits. The only solution is to reduce the pool of potential terrorists by ending our policies that breed and inflame them, in particular:
– Afghanistan and Pakistan are two of the poorest countries in the world, and there is no credible economic development plan in place;
– Iran shares a long border with Afghanistan, and was our ally in the first war against the Taliban. Negotiations with Iran on these and other issues are indispensable to finding a solution in Afghanistan.
– Getting out of Iraq while continuing humanitarian assistance is crucial to opening a new chapter of diplomacy in the region.
– Resuming an American initiative towards the failed Israeli-Palestinian peace process will begin to rebuild Arab and European confidence that America has a constructive role to play in dampening down the fires set by the Bush Administration with its surreal campaign to impose American-style democracy on the Middle East.
* Point 6: John McCain has offered no diplomatic, political or economic approaches to managing, not to mention lessening, these multiple crises. But his acting as an isolated hawk- yelling about bombing Baghdad, singing about bombing Iran, encouraging a conflict with the Russians on their border – is comparable to being General Custer at Little Big Horn.
* Point 7: Even the greatest power on earth cannot sustain more devastating experiences like the past five years in Iraq and the cascading catastrophe on Wall Street. Our military can't take the wear and tear of forever wars. Our economy can't take the flow of our taxes and profits to such a narrow stratum of the rich. Our cities and schools can't take the burden of budget cuts and tax breaks. Our environment, our rivers and streams, our eagles and polar bears, can't wait another generation. Our courts can't take the appointment of extremist judges who unilaterally diminish the civil rights, women's rights, labor rights and environmental protections past generations have fought and sacrificed for. Enough.

For starters there is a great satisfaction in knowing our support is all toward the United States. From the vessel, its crew and food we were to experience "home grown." The hard-working staff of young people greeted us with friendly smiles and performed their tasks in a diligent and thorough manner. We would be remiss not to mention the very comfortable beds--such a plus at the end of the day.
We enjoyed the menu selections and found the food to be done to perfection. The open seating of eight guests to a table allowed us to explore the diverse backgrounds and interests of each person, and when we would meet them in the stairwell or elevator, they were no longer strangers. Interestingly enough, we hope to see those who do not live too far from us.
The banjo player, piano-bass combo and songs of the sea were good evenings of entertainment. And, of course, the historian flavored the trip with much educational and interesting lectures which brought the Lewis & Clark experience to reality. And this sums up our post thoughts of the cruise.
Small-ship cruising is a venture we would like to continue. We enjoyed the friendliness of seeing the same people, enjoying happy hour each evening with them, not having to walk the long corridors. We are left with a keen sense of history and appreciation of the early exploration of Lewis & Clark, coupled together with touring the scenic vistas of the United States of America.
