The Tennessee Volunteers have been playing college football for over 100 years and are annually one of the top programs in the SEC. The Vols first formed a football program in 1891, and won their first national title in 1938. Legendary head coach Robert Neyland led the Volunteers to 4 national titles and Phillip Fulmer added a title in 1998. Tennessee has a unique gameday which starts with the Vol Walk and is electrifying as the team runs across the checkerboard end zone and then through the block letter T onto the field. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Tennessee Volunteers football tickets.
2013 will offer a fresh start to the capable Tennessee football program. With head coach Butch Jones heading the program, Vol nation will undergo some minor tweaks to bring the greatness back to the Tennessee. Those tweaks will start with the passing game. After losing quarterback Tyler Bray and his arsenal of receivers Tennessee's passing game will be under total reconstruction. Implications lean towards Justin Worley as Bray's replacement but redshirt freshman Nathan Peterman isn't making the decision easy. Regardless of which player gets the starting job, each will be well protected by a solid o-line that is arguably one of the most consistent in the SEC. Rushing tandem, Rajion Neal and Marlin Lane will also benefit from such a stout offensive line as the weight of offensive production will likely be on their shoulders in 2013.
The Vols will need to get the kinks worked out early against Austin Peay and Western Kentucky because the schedule takes a quick turn. After traveling to Oregon Tennessee will kick off SEC play at Florida before hosting Georgia and South Carolina. The Vols will close out October at Bryant Denny Stadium against Alabama and cap off their season against rivals Vanderbilt and Kentucky.
Check out our Tennessee Volunteers Season Preview History page for previews of previous Vols seasons.
The Vols play their home games at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, which has a capacity of over 102,000, making it the largest stadium in the South. Watching a game at Neyland against Alabama Crimson Tide in a sea of orange and white might be the quintessential college football experience. The Tennessee Vol's home bench is on the Neyland Stadium sideline with sections R-W. Neyland Stadium parking information is covered in our Volunteers event guide.
Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida Gators, Kentucky Wildcats, Vanderbilt Commodores
One of the fiercest rivalries in all college football, Tennessee and Alabama battle in a game named the "Third Saturday in October". These two state schools in neighboring states have played each other since 1901. These two programs both sport tremendous fan bases, so the passion in the crowd on game day is unsurpassed by other SEC rivalry games. Take the opportunity to see the Vols take on Bama, a truly unique experience in college football.
The rivalry between Tennessee and Florida was a result of them annually competing to represent the Eastern Division in the SEC Championship Game. It was turned up a notch when former Florida Head Coach Steve Spurrier poked fun at the Vols by saying, "You can't spell Citrus without UT".
The "Battle for the Barrel" has matched up these neighboring state rivals over 100 times on the gridiron. Tennessee has been the dominant program on the football field, while Kentucky remains the college basketball superpower.
A two and a half hour drive separates these two in-state rivals. The Vols won 22 straight between 1983 and 2004, but since then the two teams have exchanged victories.
The Volunteers have accomplished more than most other football programs can dream about; the Vols have won a BCS Championship (1998), over 25 bowl games and a dozen SEC Championships. Tennessee is a top contender to play in the SEC Championship Game and a BCS bowl just about every season.
The pregame Vol Walk starts at The Torchbearer in Circle Park on Volunteer Drive. The players walk down Peyton Manning Pass before turning on to Phillip Fulmer Way to walk into Neyland Stadium. Get there 2 to 2.5 hours early to see it.
Yes, all fans regardless of age must have a ticket.
Calhoun's on the River offers a great game day atmosphere and has some of the best ribs. Dead End BBQ is the best-known barbeque joint in Knoxville. There are other great restaurant options by Market Square or down off the Strip, like Cool Beans.
Volunteers who had the biggest impact on the NFL include Reggie White, Peyton Manning, Bill Bates, Michael Munoz, Al Wilson, Jason Witten, and Alvin Harper.
Jason went out of his way to find me the perfect tickets. The level of service was above reproach.Brady - Austin, TX

Mary's marvellous milestone as she celebrates 108th birthday
8:00am Wednesday 16th May 2012 in Bridgwater Area News
WHEN Mary Tyler was born, the start of the First World War was still a decade away.
Last week the pensioner celebrated her 108th birthday at Oak Trees Care Home in Bridgwater – and put her long life down to 'a good cup of tea'.
Mary, who was born Gladys Tyler on May 6, 1904, celebrated the occasion with a tea party with her family and received lots of cards, including one from the Queen.
The home celebrated Mary's milestone with a party the day after her birthday and presented her with a bouquet of flowers.

Listen to Samples
Om Records is pleased to present the new single from our Montreal Ommie – Fred Everything! The title track, "Don't Want Chu (Now)" is in Fred's trademark funky tech house style – pumpin' dancefloor beats with a deep and moody vibe. The electro-ish bass sounds should please the modern ear, and the epic string & synth arrangements build tension and keep the energy HIGH. On the flip, Fred offers a B-Side cut called "Come On Everybody," which is featured as the closing track on Om:Miami 2007. "Come On Everybody" is a little more of a late-night houser.. with shuffling beats, a funky bassline, and lots of vocal samples throughout. The strings on top make it a little reminiscent of Black Science Orchestra's "New Jersey Deep," which should please the late night crowds. Also on Side B, JT Donaldson & Tim Kvasnosky (of Home & Garden) combine to give us an ultra-modern, forward-thinking remix (also featured on Om:Miami 2007). Rolling electro drums, a super-dirty bassline, cut up vocal samples, and the epic strings make this another late-nighter for the decks. Not what you would expect from these two deep housers, but a pleasant surprise at that!

As the NHL and NHLPA get set to take their bullshit to the courtroom, the AHL's Binghamton Senators got back in the win column last night.
Ben Bishop was strong in goal and Hugh Jessiman, Jakob Silfverberg and Patrick Wiercioch provided the offence as the Binghamton Senators cruised to a relatively comfortable 3-1 win over Wilkes Barre Scranton.
With the Friday night victory in the books, the BSens are now off until this coming Wednesday when they host the same Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins back in Binghamton.
Until then, another game recap from Mr. Rieber. Herrrrrrre's Donny!
B-Sens back on track with win at Wilkes-Barre
The Binghamton Senators traveled to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Friday night to take on the division rival Penguins at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.
Binghamton who had won nine straight, was coming off their second consecutive loss on Wednesday night, a 4-3 setback to the first place Syracuse Crunch.
Binghamton would turn things around Friday, getting single tallies from Hugh Jessiman, Jakob Silfverberg and Patrick Wiercioch and earn a much-needed 3-1 victory.
These teams came into Friday's East Division showdown tied in points with 28 and Binghamton holding a slight lead in percentage points. The win solidified their second place standing, boosting their point total to 30.
Ben Bishop started in goal for Binghamton and made 26 saves. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the B-Sens and gave Bishop his sixth straight victory between the pipes.
Brad Thiessen was the tough luck loser for Wilkes-Barre, making 26 saves of his own.
Tempers flared immediately, as David Dziurzynski and Alex Grant dropped the gloves 1:34 in. It was a pretty even battle, as both guys landed some shots, before running out of gas and tumbling to the ice.
The teams managed a total of three shots more than halfway through the game, with Binghamton getting two of them. It took a power play to get the B-Sens offense rolling, as the Pens' Dominik Uher went to the box for hooking at the 7:25 left in the period.
Binghamton took advantage when Andre Benoit took a shot from the point that Brad Thiessen never saw, thanks to a screen. Hugh Jessiman was able to tip it home, to give Binghamton a 1-0 lead, with 5:51 left.
Binghamton had their chances later in the period as Mike Hoffman was denied by Thiessen twice within seconds. The first denial came on a great pass from Jakob Silfverberg and then again, on a great backhand chance.
Binghamton got another power play chance late in the period and Jessiman had a great opportunity for his second of the night, which Thiessen corralled. A slashing call against Binghamton's Stephane Da Costa wiped out the final 10 seconds of the power play and gave Wilkes-Barre 1:18 of man-up time going into the second period.
Binghamton led the game 1-0 and led in shots, 10-6 at the end of the first period.
The Penguins were unsuccessful on that power play chance to start the second and after the teams traded man-up chances early in the period. Binghamton got their second consecutive chance, when Alex Grant got the gate for cross-checking at13:04.
Benoit started things again with a shot that bounced off Thiessen's chest. Jakob Silfverberg was there to bang it home at 14:15 of the period. For Silfverberg, it was his eighth goal of the season to tie for club lead with Derek Grant. Benoit got his second assist of the night, with Mike Hoffman getting the other helper.
As the horn sounded, there was some pushing and shoving, resulting in Joey Mormina picking up a roughing call and Jessiman an unsportsmanlike conduct.
The B-Sens held a 25-16 lead in shots and a 2-0 lead on the scoreboard through 40 minutes.
The Penguins finally got on the board in the third period, with the teams combining for three calls in 65 seconds. It ended up being a 4-on-4 goal for the Pens' as Trevor Smith finally solved Bishop, making it a 2-1 game, with 8:10 to go.
Meanwhile, Binghamton was held without a shot until 3:55 remained in the period. Wiercioch got that shot, but was stopped by Thiessen. On the ensuing faceoff, Wiercioch got the puck and this time, Thiessen couldn't stop it, as it sailed in over his glove hand. Silfverberg got an assist, as did Da Costa.
Binghamton ended up getting credit for four shots on goal in the period and outshot the home team 29-27 when the clock read triple zeros.

Sailors from HMS Sultan in charity field gun haul
3:20pm Tuesday 15th May 2012 in Charity
SAILORS hauled a field gun through the New Forest to raise £2,000 for charity.
The men from HMS Sultan, Gosport, were marking the 30th anniversary of the Falklands conflict by completing a 56-mile yomp that ended at Beaulieu.
Marchwood-based 17 Port and Maritime Regiment used a landing raft to transport the gun to Lepe Beach. The regiment is based at Marchwood Military Port, where many of the ships involved in the Falklands campaign were loaded for the long voyage south.
The gun was hauled ashore along a concrete track built during the build-up to D-Day in 1944.
The gun was hauled as far as Bramshaw Telegraph before doubling back and ending the walk at the National Motor Museum and cash was raised for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, which helps past and present servicemen and their families.

The Boston Marathon explosions have caused cities across the country to re-examine security.
City leaders in Tucson say first responders will also review what happened to see if any changes are needed here.
Typically police and fire crews are the first to respond to disasters. They of course have plans in place to respond to major emergencies, but those plans are always evolving.
Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik explains that city leaders along with first responders will review the response to the Boston bombings to see what they can learn.
"Our public safety command structure looks at these incidents that happened in Boston. We made changes when 9-11 happened. We made changes when January 8th happened. It changes every day," said Kozachik.
And law enforcement says public safety is everyone's responsibility. They ask that if residents see something suspicious report it.

Crash blocks three lanes in Interstate 10 tunnel

PHOENIX -- Three eastbound lanes were blocked in the Interstate 10 tunnel after a Friday crash.
The eastbound I-10 was backed up to the stack.
There was no timetable for the lanes to reopen.
In an unrelated incident, the westbound I-10 was backed up after a disabled car blocked a center lane inside of the tunnel. That was cleared, but the freeway remained backed up to the Interstate 17 interchange.

RLLatson50 Angleton, TX, U.S.A.
I have a "day job", but my "night job" and serious hobby is photography. I've been a photographer since high school (eons ago). I inherited my love of the medium from my father, who in his day used his Mamiya twin-lens reflex to capture Ansel Adams-worthy scenes of my home state of Montana. My first digital camera was a 2MP point-and-shoot from a local store. Since then, I have never looked back to film. I've traveled and/or lived in Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California,New Mexico, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Western Canada, London, and Ireland. I hope to do much more travel and photograph many more things before all is said and done.

Skin tones are orange...which seems to be a hallmark of Nikon FF sensors. Nothing that can't be fixed in post, but I grew tired of dealing with it and switched back to Canon. Thankfully, short of MP count, the 5D3 is equivalent to most of Nikon's current offerings (D4 notwithstanding).
Actually they are really true to the light. The light is really weird in his house (multiple lamps with differently colored shades). The way the photos look is pretty much spot on to what it looked like that night.

The 12 Days Of Christmas: Day 11-------
As you might be able to tell from the fact that I am the second-to-last post for our 12 Days of Christmas series, I have spent weeks belaboring over what I want for Christmas. It's the annual need-or-want debate. What I need is a new pair of winter snow boots and cashmere sweaters to add to my wardrobe for the inevitable cold front that's going to hit the East Coast; I am a California girl still learning that winter means below 60 degrees. What I want: this Rick Owens biker number. Let's just say it's on my fantasy Christmas wish list, but I'd be more than willing to pay weekly installments on it for a very long time. Note to Santa: I've been a really good girl this year.

The auto-draft function had to have malfunctioned. Yes, that's what it had to be. That's what I thought as I sat in my room in a hotel on the Las Vegas strip late last summer and stared in disbelief at my laptop screen.
In front of me was the worst fantasy-football team I had ever assembled.
I was able to draft a couple of players before I left for dinner that evening — my starting running backs, the Chiefs' Jamaal Charles and the Browns' Peyton Hillis. As Round Three kicked into high gear, I was in a cab, en route to the Wynn. I don't often get to Las Vegas, and soon I was sitting in a restaurant I had budgeted and scrimped for to ensure I could keep a reasonable poker face when the check came. The auto-draft would have to do its job.
The auto-draft … gave me a kicker in Round Seven.
It gave me just four running backs — including Cardinals RB Ryan Williams, who had already been ruled out for the season. My team defense was picked nine rounds before the final round … the round in which another kicker was selected for me. My skill-position depth was flimsy, but I had backups at all four IDP spots.
As Vegas buzzkills go, it was up there. It may well have been a case of operator error. I had set a pre-draft list, and perhaps I wasn't thorough enough, or didn't completely grasp how my roster would be drafted by the computer. Either way, it was my problem. I needed to hit the waiver wire, and quickly, to see if the other owners had left a gem or two go undrafted. At least I had a strong top three running backs in Charles, Hillis and Jahvid Best.The other owners, alas, were sharp, and this was a big league, with 12 teams and 23 players per squad. Help was initially tough to find. My team, as you could imagine, hit some rough patches. Frankly, it wasn't competitive at times. And really, that was about all I wanted, considering the circumstances. I had no illusions.
But I did have a pretty good WR corps. The auto-draft, ostensibly before completely bursting into flames, picked me Bengals WR A.J. Green and Packers Jordy Nelson in Rounds 15 and 16, respectively.
I also had the good fortune of picking up Panthers QB Cam Newton after his impressive regular-season debut. I had no idea he would turn out to be as good as was, I just knew he was better than my backup at the time. I could make as many as five waiver claims a week, and I was going to use them all.
I was desperate. I was humbled. But I was also unburdened. I never had to think, "This guy is struggling, but I can't bench him now; I drafted him early." I didn't really like my team all that much, and injuries too often made my decisions easy.
While it was frustrating to have a flawed team, it was also fun. It was new and interesting, a learning experience. I had to manage this team like none I had before. I worked the waiver wire like I never had, and I dug deeper than ever into the depth charts. One of the best things about that team, in retrospect, was that it forced me to be creative. I loaded up on backup running backs who were next-man-up in the pecking order. I made a few mistakes, but Newton erased just about all of them, and Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray cleaned up the rest.
After an 0-4 start, my luck started to turn. I notched some close, low-scoring wins. The team, though not one of the higher-scoring groups in the league by any stretch, started to get better. Well, OK, let's be frank — it was The Newton Show.
By season's end, I was in the playoffs, one of those single-elimination deals, but I was gone after the first weekend. I wasn't surprised.
Nor was I unhappy.
Frankly, I don't remember a lot about fantasy seasons past. You enter enough leagues and it all blends together. But I'll never forget that team. It wasn't a league-winner, and it wasn't pretty. At its worst, it lurched and creaked and dripped oil all over the place. At the end, though, it was mine, after I had wanted nothing to do with it.

In 1918 on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the "War to End All Wars" came to an end. This day was called Armistice Day because it was the day the leaders of the major countries fighting in World War I signed an armistice, otherwise known as a peace treaty.
To commemorate the first anniversary of Armistice Day, the English government asked that all unknown soldiers be buried on this day, a tradition that sparked the ideals behind what is now known as Veteran's Day.
Armistice Day was renamed Veteran's Day after the end of World War II when it was decided that the veterans of both wars needed to be honored.
Veteran's Day is celebrated all around the world, not just in the United States. All across the globe, the men and women who put their lives on the line for their country's beliefs are honored with parades, ceremonies, assemblies, and other events.
One of the other ways to honor veterans is a moment of silence. It began on the morning of November 11th, 1918 when people were called on to be silent for one minute to remember those who died in battle, a tradition that is still carried on today.
"Every year I would go to my grandchildren's Veterans Day assemblies," Keith Sheets, a three year veteran said. "When my granddaughter was in 5th grade at Willis, they had me and the other vets stand up and say a little something about the service."
Sheets says that he and other veterans feel very honored, especially at the assemblies run by the school.
Celebrations and ceremonies happen all over the world, in schools, churches, home town cemeteries and national cemeteries.
Soldiers and other armed personnel that have served for the United States attend these celebrations to remember their service.
"Going to these amazing celebrations and ceremonies makes me feel good about what I did," Sheets said. "Knowing I could be someones hero, especially my granddaughter's, puts a big smile on my heart which is enough for me,"
Celebrating Veterans Day is popular not only amongst adults but also children. Many schools take trips to Washington D.C. to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at 11 a.m. on November 11, a color guard representing every service branch will present arms and solute the tomb. As this is happening, a bugler plays taps and a wreath is placed at the Tomb's base.
For the fifth year in a row, Delaware will have its own Veteran's Day ceremony. It takes place on November 11th at the Council for Older Adults, which is located at 800 Cheshire Road. All current and former military personnel are invited to a breakfast buffet at 8:00 AM, followed by a presentation to honor those men and women.
Honoring a veteran is like hugging a hero. It is not only a thanks to him for fighting for the country but it also shows appreciation for his sacrifices.

The Pressure To Be Skinny: Women Do The Most Damage
I recently received a call from a friend. She said, "You'll never believe the horrible thing my boyfriend just said." I prepared myself for the worst and was already mad at him before she even opened her mouth. "He said he likes my body ... because it's 'healthy!' Healthy?! He said it's a compliment, but do you think he's calling me fat?"
I assured her that yes, he absolutely meant it as a compliment. Then I began to wonder if her reaction would have been different had he called her "skinny" instead. Like most women, myself included, she probably would have been ecstatic and triumphant. Women want to be skinny.
When did "healthy" take a backseat to "as skinny as humanly possible?" Why are women so terrified of the notion of being anything other than thin? And, most importantly, if the men in our lives call us "healthy," why do we hear "fat"? My friend's boyfriend said he liked her body; why didn't she believe him?
From websites devoted to fat-shaming Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera and Adele to magazine covers urging us to "lose those last five pounds" to "thinspiration" Pinterest boards, it's safe to say there's a pervasive message out there: women must be skinny in order to be beautiful.
The pressure takes it toll. It leads to women feeling like they're never enough — hot enough, thin enough, sexy enough — for a guy. But here's the ironic thing: it's not men who are doing the majority of the name calling and fat shaming. It's definitely not men who most recently dissected every inch of gorgeous, curvy Sports Illsutrated swimsuit model Kate Upton's body on the internet, circling her flaws in red and calling her a cow. And it's not men running "fitspiration" websites that advocate month long juice fasts. Women are consistently more critical of other women than men are to women. Why are we so hard on one another?

Behind the Screen
Texting should be eliminated, destroyed, and completely done away with because it has ruined our ability to communicate. Short phrases. Smiley faces. An emoji. Unuzual spellingz. Odd punnucation… & wait time. These things all play a part in how we interpret (often misinterpret) what is being said in a text message. We hide behind our phones when we do not want to have a difficult conversation with someone. We send texts when we are afraid of what the other might say or how they will react. The "art" of texting has replaced more intimate and effective forms of communication. It is time that we take a stand and destroy this monster that is threatening to topple society.
Text messages are responsible for destroying countless relationships and life-long friendships. At the start of college my best friend and I had to rely solely on texting because we were no longer at the same school and heaven forbid we should call each other! We thought that it would be fine, but nope we were wrong. We did not anticipate the struggles that would come along with our new relationship. Some days it would take her hours to respond to my messages because she was "in class," and could not be bothered to respond to my urgent need to know what I should do about the boy I liked. I texted her when I received an A on my first Calc III exam and was devastated when she used only three exclamation marks to show her excitement. We were so frustrated and angry with each other that we began texting less and less. By winter break we were not texting at all. Texting almost killed our relationship, but we were saved. My mother suggested something that seemed absurd to me: some good-old fashioned, face-to-face conversation. I was able to see my friend's excitement for me when I told her I earned the prized 'A' in Human Event. I was also able to express my pride at her accomplishments. These things had been impossible over a few words seen on a tiny screen sent from across the state. My best friend and I were able to push through the trials and tribulations of texting, but not everyone is.
The power of texting is more than most people even know. Roughly half of relationships are terminated by means of a text message. Millions of people have to read that the one they are with wants to be with them no longer. Reasons for the break-up are lost as are the result of the break-up. The person who was broken up with will send a ranting text to their friend using CAPITAL LETTERS and unnecessary…punctuation!
There is a serious detachment from our words and their consequences. I will admit that I am guilty of sending overly flirty texts because I can always claim that "I didn't know how the person would take it." I have also shown my meanest side, once again because I didn't have to claim responsibility for the interpretation of the message. Although I am pretty sure that "meanie head" and "big trashcan full of poop" are insults in whatever medium they are expressed.
The same words have the ability to build people up or tear them down based on the context in which they are said, the tone used to say them, and the body language that accompanies them. Text messages have some context, but the tone and body language are hidden behind the screen. The cure for the troubles brought on by misreading is a face-to-face conversation. Using text messaging for serious matters causes us to be bolder and more aggressive than the situation calls for because we do not have to be responsible for the emotions of the person on the receiving end. Generations and generations before us survived without text messaging. It is time that we take a stand against the communication method responsible for destroying so many good things in our life—it can't be our own fault. It is time to return to the pleasures of talking face-to-face, time to take power back from the texts. Let us return to the good days when we were not hidden behind tiny screens and lost in their vague and often incendiary messages.

Restaurants could go to dogs
The bill, HB 390, which passed 307-25, would allow restaurant owners to decide whether to let patrons bring "properly disciplined and leashed companion dogs of restaurant patrons onto any outdoor patio areas owned by the restaurant."
According to the bill, which will go to the Senate for consideration, dogs would not be allowed in food preparation areas and patrons would be limited to one pooch apiece.
The bill further also places an emphasis on service animals, saying restaurant owners must post a sign reading, "To preserve the rights of patrons with service animals, patrons with companion dogs shall be asked to move if the presence of that companion dog interferes with the service animal's ability to obey commands or assist its handler."

It has four championship golf courses, 15 tennis courts, a sports and spa clinic, biking trails throughout, many shops and restaurants including the new Baytowne Wharf shopping area overlooking the bay, the Hilton Hotel, and much more. It is beautifully landscaped with security at all the entrances. It is a wonderful place to ride bikes and rollerblade.
This unit is located on the third floor, with balconies off the family room and master bedroom. Gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico and the sand dunes. The unit has a king-size bed in the master and one of the guest bedrooms. The other guest bedroom has two queens in it (will sleep four). So the unit will sleep a total of ten people (including sleeper sofa). Very spacious, over 1500 square feet.
I have one-, two-, and three-bedroom units on the beach in Beachside Towers. Beachside Towers is right on the beach. My rates all year round are 40% off the resort rates (and sometimes more). Both buildings have heated pools.
You also have access to the Hilton's amenities. They have a new spa, which you may pay to use, along with a work-out facility, a five-star restaurant, a buffet-style restaurant, a deli/ice cream shop, and an outdoor bar overlooking the beach that serves great sandwiches. Live music most of the year overlooking the beach at the new outdoor restaurant/bar built in 2005.
Across the street overlooking the Choctawatchee Bay, there is a new community in Sandestin called Baytowne Wharf. There are numerous shops and restaurants, a fun place to go without leaving the resort. You can drive or take the boat ferry, which is free of charge. Do not miss it!
All of my units have fully-equipped kitchens, washer and dryers, linens provided, and free local phone calls. The rates include the cleaning fee. My units are decorated very nicely, with everything always updated, and furniture that is not more than five years old. It has three TVs, three VCRs, and a DVD.
I own a total of five units in Destin and have been renting them myself since I bought my first one 12 years ago. I also manage other units, both at the Sandestin Resort and Pelican Beach Resort. My rates cannot be beat anywhere. Half of my business is repeat or referral. I keep my rates low and my condominiums very nice so you will tell your friends and family and want to come back! No matter how long you stay... it is never enough!

Marietta police evacuated businesses and shut down Cobb Parkway after a tractor-trailer overturned on Monday.Marietta police spokesperson David Baldwin said that authorities believe that nearly 50,000 pounds of the liquid chemical Sodium Hydroxide leaked from the overturned truck on Cobb Parkway NE near Canton Road.A Hometown Inn hotel was evacuated as a precaution.
There were no reports of injuries.
"An environmental company will be on scene to help contain anything that leaks out of the trailer itself and then really at that time they will gauge how much spilled out and exactly what the cleanup will take, how long it will take at that point," Baldwin said.
All lanes of Cobb Parkway were closed between Bells Ferry Road and Allgood Road were closed for several hours. All lanes were reopened at around 2:47 a.m. on Tuesday.
Marietta police say the ramp to the Canton Road Connector from Cobb Parkway will be temporarily closed during the mid-morning hours on Tuesday while crews continue to clean up the spill. When the ramp will be reopened is unknown.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Leadership Southwestern Students Want to Clean
Leadership Southwestern students are currently looking for individuals who need or want help cleaning the inside or outside of their homes. The students are raising money for their service trip to Seattle in May 2013 and will work for donations. Spring cleaning helps the students in preparing for the work that will be done in Seattle in the coming months.
Leadership Southwestern is offering this assistance until April 6.
The Leadership team is composed of approximately 40 members from all different majors and activities at the college. Members learn about team dynamics, personal strengths and weaknesses, ethics and styles of leadership which are then practiced through service. Leadership students at Southwestern put their skills into practice by planning and implementing service projects in the community. Each year approximately 25 Leadership service projects are underway in the community, involving more than 210 college students, and 2,000 hours of service.
The service trip that is taken each year is an extension of the community service that is undertaken each year. For the Seattle trip, the team will be volunteering with P-Patch Community Gardens, Seattle Parks and Recreation, and the Seattle Chinatown-International District.
"The trip is designed to give students opportunities to serve outside of the Winfield community," says Leadership Southwestern student Dylan Moore. "Students expand their worldviews by learning from others and discerning what it means to be a leader in today's global society. Students raise funds throughout the year to pay for their trip, and students also plan and run the entire trip. The location of the trip rotates every year among the following destinations: international, Kansas, urban, and outdoors."
If you would like Leadership Southwestern students to work on your property or would like to donate to the organization, call (620) 229-6393 or email email@example.com.

First off, let me say Seabourn is a great line. The vessels are beautifully maintained and staffed with attentive crews.
Earlier this year I asked the Legend captain -- a guy who appeared to have a personality like mine, which is to say a bit picky and crusty -- what he thought of the newer and larger Seabourn vessels, along with the concept of cruising with about 400 passengers versus 200 on his smaller ship. His opinion was quick: one loses the club-like atmosphere on the larger ship, even with only 400 passengers. He was right! Something gets lost on the newer Seabourn vessels, and I got the same opinion from several other fellow passengers on the Sojourn who also had taken one of the smaller ships in the past. When the Legend captain saw virtually anything not attended to right away, he took personal responsibility for it, even picking up stray service items himself. That never happened on the Sojourn. On the smaller Seabourn ships, the crews really do know your name. That didn't happen on the larger Sojourn.
Regarding other aspects of the Sojourn: the spa is fantastic and got a huge amount of our business. The cabins and public areas are ultra-sharp. This is a floating Rolls-Royce. The bathrooms on the Sojourn are stunning, lined with polished granite and marble. They reminded me of the older Ritz-Carlton Hotels before Marriott messed them up.
Seabourn is well worth the cost. If you are considering Seabourn, I can easily recommend it. On the other hand, if you really want the yacht experience that is suggested in the line's current name and you want a more intimate travel experience, take the smaller Seabourn ships instead of the newer and larger ones. Just remember the old tale about the goose that laid the golden egg. I hope Seabourn keeps that in mind, too.

Add To Plan
Visit a Viking ship museum and an historic Cathedral on this tour that travels to the charming city of Roskilde.
Roskilde is internationally famous for its annual rock music festival, but it also features some wonderful historic attractions, such as the Viking Ship Museum, sight of your first stop. During your visit at the museum, you'll gain insights into the fascinating era of the Vikings. On display here are five Viking longboats which were sunk over a thousand years ago and recovered by an underwater expedition in 1962. Surveying these amazing ships, you will appreciate how well-preserved they are and how beautifully the museum showcases these unique vessels. For the story of how the ships were excavated, view a short film, and to discover your inner Viking, don a costume and board a life-sized ship model, where you can act out a scene from centuries ago.
Next, you'll glimpse a history that traces back to the 10th century with your visit to Roskilde Cathedral. Around 960 AD, Roskilde was named the new capital of Denmark, and a small wooden church was built and dedicated to the Holy Trinity. When Roskilde became the seat of the Bishop of Roskilde in 991 AD, the wooden church was replaced with one made of stone. The cathedral's transformation continued with an ambitious expansion in 1200 AD utilizing brick, which was at that time a new building material. More than 3,000,000 bricks were used, making Roskilde the first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick. In 1995, the Roskilde Cathedral was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Following your memorable visit to Roskilde, you'll transfer back to the pier in Copenhagen.

Out of India, but with a number of branches firmly established in London, the Woodlands chain is a trusted purveyor of home-cooked, south Indian vegetarian food. Simple, pleasant decor fits with an uncomplicated ethos that favours health without getting too virtuous: most of the wines are organic or biodynamic, & vegan/Jain eaters have stacks of options. Start with idli (steamed rice & lentil 'pillows') with sambar & coconut chutney or a poori crackling with puffed rice, before sampling the famous dosas (rolled lentil & rice pancakes) & uttappams (lentil 'pizzas') with gloriously spiced fillings. All manner of veggie curries find their way onto the thalis, & puffy bhatura bread makes an impressive accompaniment. The introduction of a tandoor oven & more northerly dishes (including paneer & mushroom tikka) has been warmly received.

It's way too early for that, but we'll dig a little on it anyway.
The Dolphins have to find a replacement for now graduated all-everything Josh McGregor who left campus with every imaginable passing record in his pocket.
The candidates include redshirt freshman Kade Bell, sophomore Trevius Folston, transfer Steven Hughes from Delaware and newcomer Ryan Walker.
Bell, son of coach Kerwin Bell, said he learned a lot by having a year of watching McGregor.
"You got to listen to coach Bell,'' Kade said. "(He said) 'You got to watch Josh all fall and watch how he did things and how he worked hard on every drill and got better'. With him not here you have to rely on yourself and the other quarterbacks to get everybody up.''
Kade says the QB situation is anybody's guess.
"It's up in the air,'' he said. "Everybody is working hard and whoever performs the best and is the best leader and knows the offense will become the starter.''
Kerwin Bell says he thinks the team will be a little more balanced not being able to rely on McGregor.
"We feel like we're going to be a better overall team with more balance and that's what you've got to have to win a championship,'' he said. "But, we are missing a great player and great leader in Josh McGregor. He put up some phenomenal numbers and that's hard to do. We've got to be better around that position.''
The numbers are to be expected, coach Bell said.
"We've got to find a quarterback to lead us,'' he said. "Any quarterback who plays in this system is going to put up numbers, you best believe that. I'm going to have to coach a little harder now, I can't just stand back there and let him go to work.''
Beyond that position, despite losing some key players, Bell said there is much to look forward to.
"We're losing a lot of quality players who had a lot of production around here,'' he said. "We're excited with the group we've got coming back and every year we think we have a better roster than we had the year before and we feel like this is going to be no different.''
The team will have scrimmages Saturday at 1 p.m., April 7 at 10 a.m. and the spring game is April 14 at 1 p.m. all at D.B. Milne Field.

A man has been hospitalized after reportedly refusing to put down his rifle and pointing it at police officers, according to Phenix City Police.
On Sunday, Jan. 5, at around 4:37 p.m., police responded to reports of a man chasing his wife around with a knife outside of a home at 1200 8th Ave. While driving to the location, the officers were informed that the man was sitting on the porch with a rifle, stating that he would fight the police.
The officers arrived at the house to find the man on the porch with an AK-47 style rifle. They instructed him to put the weapon down.
The man refused, and pointed the rifle at the officers.
The officers gave further voice commands to the subject, who continued to refuse. Police say he responded in an aggressive manner causing one of the officers to fire at him, striking him once.
The unidentified male subject was transported to Midtown Medical Center in Columbus. His condition remains unknown at this time.
The case is currently being investigated by Alabama Bureau of Investigation, Montgomery, Ala.

Aquafina, as in the Pepsico bottled water product, has one heck of a great new lip product. If you like minty moisturizing gels, you absolutely must RUN and get this new item!
What is it? It is Aquafina Hydrating Lip Oil. Where is it? At grocery and drug stores near you for around only $3. (Update 2/3/2010: This product is getting hard to find. However, read the comments for suggestions and also check eBay. I saw a number of lip items on there from Aquafina.)
This gel/oil is one tasty, moisture packing, shine imparting, product! I hope it becomes popular, because I foresee going through many tubes of the stuff. With vitamin E, sweet almond and jojoba oil, it moisturizes quite well, yet it is gel enough in consistency that it sticks around awhile, so reapplication isn't needed horribly often.
But then, even though it might not be needed, you may find yourself reapplying it often because of the taste. The product contains menthol and it has a great minty menthol taste and a bit of a menthol tingle. It also is quite strong. While there are plenty of mint balms and gels out there, I haven't come across very many with a menthol taste and tingle like this one. I love it! Of course if you hate strong tastes in a lip product, then you won't want this one. But the menthol and mint lovers out there will certainly enjoy this one.
I have been coming across rave reviews of this one in all sorts of places, so it seems that I'm not the only one who is in love with it. Look for it at your local drugstore.

Liberal Salon.com Writer to Jon Stewart: Drop Your 'Trite' 'Comedian First' BS, You're an 'Activist'
It's not just conservatives who are sick and tired of Jon Stewart hiding behind his "I'm a comedian" excuse when called out for his dead-serious liberal pontifications.
Even liberals like Salon.com's Will Bunch are tired of the "Daily Show" host's faux sanctimony, even as he cheers Stewart's liberalism and calls on the comedian to embrace it.
From a June 21 War Room blog post (emphases mine):
[O]utside of "The Daily Show," in interviews like the one he gave to Chris Wallace and even his famous 2004 confrontation that may or may not have killed CNN's "Crossfire," I find that Stewart (and it pains me to say this, as such a fan) can come across as kind of lame, his "media criticism" beyond trite. In interviews, his complaints against the media tend to be an unsophisticated "pox on all of your houses." I thought his largely pointless D.C. mall rally in late October repeated the mistake he makes in these interviews -- trying to argue that our discourse is too loud while ignoring the real point that he hammers home on "The Daily Show," that our politics is irrational.Story Continues Below Ad ↓
But the lamest thing of all, frankly, is Stewart trying to absolve responsibility from the gravitas of what he does -- and make no mistake, the gravitas is there -- by claiming that merely, "I am a comedian." That's true, but he fails to see what many others realize, which is that he is also much more than a comedian. In a world where far too much of highly paid professional journalism, especially inside the Beltway, has become a joke, it has fallen on the comedians -- Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher perhaps the most prominent -- to say what on-one-hand, on-the-other hand journalists are too tied up in knots to tell you, that much of America's discourse in 2011 is bat-guano insane.
Actually, Jon Stewart, you are an activist, and the cause you fight for is most worthy because -- as you do correctly note -- it is not a purely ideological one, but the cause of reason. And the fight against illogic is not a "fair and balanced" one, that the most dangerous bogus ideas may be concentrated in the spots where global warming doesn't exist and the way to balance a budget deficit is more tax cuts for rich people. For whatever reason, in the past your friend and colleague Colbert -- who coined "truthiness" and said that reality has a known liberal bias -- has gotten it a lot better than you do.
Maybe Stewart is starting to get it, too. He did say on Sunday that he has an ideology that "is non-partisan and focuses on 'absurdity,' 'anti-corruption' and 'anti lack-of-authenticity.'" That sounds exactly right, so now it's time to drop the "just a comedian" shtick, which comes off like a giant cop-out, exactly the kind of thing that you normally expose so very well, night after night.

For Stewart, not so much.

What do you mean by "some shows"? Like stand-up concerts?
All the guys you mentioned are successful, Foxworthy wildly so. But I bet Dunham and Engvall would kill to have their own show on Comedy Central. (I think Dunham used to have one)
EDIT: So did Engvall for a while. With Nancy Travis. Hotchacha.

Submitted by balboa on Wed, 06/22/2011 - 1:46pm.
I suppose if you're looking at it strictly in terms of being a stand-up, but Stewart got out of that because he could make more money, get more exposure doing a TV show, which is why Foxworthy has done 2-3 shows (?), Engvall and Dunham did theirs, Larry the Cable Guy is on The History Channel, etc.
By that standard, Dane Cook is probably the most successful, as he plays to huge arenas (much like the Blue Collar Comedy Tour did once).
But your own show is still the "dream."

He's All Day Dream-y And Stuff
Submitted by rammingspeed on Wed, 06/22/2011 - 12:42pm.
Jon Stewart is guilty of believing what ALL liberals believe, which is they have the corner on right and wrong. It isn't political to them, it's simply the way life IS. He is simply making fun of "bad behavior," which all right thinking people can easily see, so what's the big deal? Why are you labeling it "political?" "Of course I'm NOT political..." Jon says. That's the result of the velvet lined cocoon living that is the bane of the left. It's worse with Hollywood-ers and intellectual elites all around, but it is the bottom line of all of their lives.

Submitted by Smartypants on Wed, 06/22/2011 - 3:56pm.
ramming, that is pretty much what I have always felt (and what I posted yesterday in a related thread). Liberals believe that there is no viable alternative to their agenda, so that anyone who favors those alternatives must have some kind of problem. This is why they are not bothered by media bias in their favor even while they rail on FOX News. People like Mr. Stewart do not see the hypocrisy in this because they think the other networks (and he himself) are just biased towards "the truth," so there is no problem.

Too many couch potatoes with voter registrations believe Stewart is the real news and won't venture beyond the comedy channel to discover otherwise. What Stewart carelessly says on his show for laughs become reality to those folks.
My point is, be a comedian or a pundit but not both Jon, but be very careful how you mislead people from here on out. Get your facts and logic straightened out, then decide. -bidn-

Regarding what the guy said here:
"...the most dangerous bogus ideas may be concentrated in the spots where global warming doesn't exist and the way to balance a budget deficit is more tax cuts for rich people."
First of all, there hasn't been any measurable warming in a decade. Second, when you cut taxes for everyone (because they aren't just cutting taxes for the rich like the left would have you believe) it stimulates the economy and tax revenues go up. Dangerous bogus ideas? I don't think so.
I think my tagline sums it up nicely:
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

Submitted by tombaker on Wed, 06/22/2011 - 8:22pm.
Stewart makes no amount of hiding that he heavily leans Democrat. But he is mainstream enough, if you consider his rally. Most Americans feel Congress is worthless and not helping the country...that includes both parties.
Chris Wallace did not engage in an interview, he was openly debating Stewart. Wallace had the agenda. Of course it the normal self-centered FOX News side. Wallace did the classic, "enough about FOX News, what do you think about how others view our network"
Wallace was smirking the entire time, and then he states FOX news is the counterbalance to MSNBC.
Wallace is no longer straight news....watch the interview, he is advocate and stating his point of view...and that is not Straight journalism.
FOX News is part of the MSM, no matter how much Wallace shills. Sites like this are not part of the MSM. Fox News needs to stop playing the victim card.

simply a member of the host of liberal clowns that for some unexplainable reason we see and hear about in the media every single day. No one really gives a flying rat's rear end for these dork's opinions, yet we can hardly read a single web site or watch a news show that the likes of Maher, Stewart, Schulz, Olberman, Amanpour, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseam ad infinitum are forced into the range of our vision and hearing. These people have no solutions for anything except maybe holding hands across the beach or some other totally meaningless activity. But then we have to remember, they are all liberals...

"Their creation is a child's dream come true," said Jennifer Taylor, president of HomeAid Houston. "The Coventry Kids Castle will turn a child's backyard into their own personal kingdom evoking images of princes, princesses, knights and dragons."
HomeAid Houston, a 501(c)3 charity, is partnering with the builder and the Houston Astros on this eighth annual fundraiser that raises money to build transitional housing for Houston's homeless men, women and children.
The playhouse will be visiting several "kingdoms" including Lake-A-Palooza in Towne Lake, Sunday, April 13; the GHBA's New Home and Remodeling Show at Reliant Center, Saturday and Sunday, June 7-8; and finally Minute Maid Park, Tuesday, June 24 through Wednesday, July 2. Raffle tickets will be on sale at each location and online at http://www.homeaidhouston.org/project-playhouse/index.html.
The Coventry Kids Castle will include features such as air conditioning, lighting, television, gaming equipment and professional interior design elements that will reflect the playhouse theme.
MHI and HomeAid have a long, productive history together that began in 2009.
The company spearheaded the construction of two homes, each more than 6,500 square feet, for Gracewood, a Children at Heart Ministry in the Spring Branch area. Each home was designed for five families facing homelessness.
