Although the Texans suddenly find themselves as the favorites in the AFC South, they are not without flaws. We hear a lack of depth at wide receiver and along the O-line could come back to bite the club. Houston avoided a major blow in Week One when No. 2 WR Kevin Walter, who was originally reported to have suffered a broken collarbone, escaped with only a bruised shoulder. The scare was enough to prompt Houston, which had kept only four receivers heading into the season, to re-sign WR David Anderson. With No. 3 WR Jacoby Jones also serving as the team's principal punt returner, the Texans could run into trouble later in the season if any of the other wideouts gets nicked. In Walter's absence, QB Matt Schaub likely will look to TE Owen Daniels to help pick up the slack. Daniels, who was quiet in Week One, comes with injury concerns of his own, however.

AVON — The town council here authorized the town's public works department to proceed with right-of-way acquisition for a roundabout being constructed at County Roads 150 South and 625 East.
The vote at Thursday's meeting was 4-0. Council President Michael Rogers was absent.
"There are four properties we need to acquire," Public Works Director Ryan Cannon told the council.
The combined appraised values of the properties are $116,135. The town's offer to the property owners does not exceed that.
One property in particular - owned by the Whispering Pines Homeowners Association - is much higher than the others at $66,865. Cannon says it includes the cost of any setback damages that may occur, as well as if the relocation of any objects like trees or signs is required.
Because this is a project of the Highway Safety Improvement Program, Avon's share of the cost is only 10 percent. It will be paid out of the town's EDIT fund. Construction of the roundabout is expected to be done next summer.
In other business, the council tabled adopting an interlocal cooperation agreement with the Indianapolis Airport Authority on its Aerotropolis plan.
An Aerotropolis is an "airport city" in which its designers seek to collaborate with neighboring communities to foster regional economic growth and infrastructure development.
Councilman Dave Cox is against signing on because he's afraid the IAA will lobby the state for funding and other concession on behalf of everyone in the interlocal agreement, and communities like Avon will get shorted.
"They're going to be looking for funds that we'd normally get," Cox said. "With times as tight as they are, I just don't agree with that."
Council Vice President Beverley Austin pushed to table the resolution until Rogers, the council's liaison with the IAA, could be present. But she's in favor of the interlocal agreement.
"I understand regionalism and how it can benefit us when we have growth nearby, even when it's not in our jurisdiction," Austin said.
Councilman Dave Jackson agreed.
"My gut is this was brought to us as a cooperative thing in terms of developing areas around the airport, much like the Ronald Reagan Parkway," he said. "Maybe I'm seeing the glass half full."
The council's next meeting is 7 p.m. Nov. 15 at Avon Town Hall, 6570 E. U.S. 36.

Girl Scout holds car maintenance workshop to earn Gold Award
HOUSTON (Sept. 30, 2010) – Girl Scout Senior Theresa B. taught the basics of car maintenance to local drivers to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned that I don't know everything about my car like I thought," says Theresa, a 2010 graduate of Westside High School. "Also, if I persevere I can do something big."
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"This project was personal because I have a friend who was injured because of car troubles," explains Theresa as to why she chose the project. "I believe every new driver should know their car. It is a three-ton piece of metal that can throw you around if not taken care of."
During her eight-hour workshop, Theresa taught drivers how to do common repairs with the help of Classic Chevrolet Sugar Land technicians. The technicians were able to give the participants one-on-one attention, answer questions and more.
"We are very proud of Theresa and what she has achieved," says Joanne B., Theresa's mother. "By obtaining this award, she has excelled her future."
As a member of Girl Scouts, Theresa was a canoe aid and was a member of several girl planning boards. At Westside High school, she was a member of the culinary program and a sports manager. She is currently attending Johnson and Wales University in Denver studying baking and pastry arts.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Bolton Wanderers have had the excuse of a tough schedule rather explaining their terrible form so far this season, but things don't get too much softer than facing a struggling Sunderland at home and Owen Coyle's men completely failed to take advantage of their opportunity to claw their way into semi-respectability. That's not to say they were comprehensively outplayed by the visitors, because they weren't*, and they deserved better than a 2-0 loss, but realistically this team should be playing far better at the Reebok Stadium, and this result puts Coyle very much on the chopping block.
*Damning with faint praise, that.
Things were fairly quiet for most of the match, with both teams' attacks struggling for fluency against staunch defences. Sunderland had the better of things, but they was hardly overwhelming, and it wasn't until very late in the second half when they finally breached Jussi Jaaskelainen's net, with Stephane Sessegnon scoring a beautiful goal after picking up a loose ball from a corner. Bolton's fightback inevitably left space for a counterattack, and on-loan striker Nicklas Bendtner secured the points for the Black Cats when he slipped a cool finish past Jaaskelainen in injury time following a quick break.

Don't want to be overly cynical, but if you really want to show them the danger and the results, take them to the morgue.

I think that this "Time2Drive" event is a great starting point for kids to attend (especially, before they start driving).
It would be great for kids to hear from other kids (speakers at event?) who have been impacted by drivers who drank and drove, as studies show that teenagers are influenced more by peers their peers than their parents at this point in their lives...
In any event, my family will attend this event. Thank you Steven Hom for producing this for the community!

A very worthwhile and important effort, now let's focus increasing enforcement on ADULTS talking on their cellphones while buzzing through downtown. A policeman could station themselves along Railroad Avenue, or El Cerro, or Diablo Road, or Green Valley Road and see many Moms in SUVs talking away distractedly while driving. Parents need to set a good example for their children in this important safety issue.

Dear JMR...you are absolutely correct.
Here in Alamo up and down Stone Valley Road it's the same. Cell phone use is heavy duty, also if the local cop's want to bring their quota up and collect 2Kor 3K per day (yes per day), they should just open their eye's. I think cell phone tickets go for $250 to $275...per.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
A new concept store opened this week in the rue Montorgueil area of Paris, and if its creators—twentysomething sisters Vanessa and Laetitia Roggwiller—have their way, it will up the capital's fashion ante considerably. Freshly minted graduates in fashion marketing and communications, respectively, the sisters were mulling a boutique launch, but when they saw this duplex space on the rue Léopold Bellan, everything fell into place. "We wanted something surprising," Vanessa explained of the shop's architectural elements. "[We wanted to] fill it with clothes that are not known to the general public, but which fashion followers are sure to pick up on." The first room is dedicated to chic city looks with pieces by hard-to-find designer David Szeto—who will turn out exclusive creations for the boutique this fall—revealing dresses by Australian designer Alice McCall, colorful collage trenches and bags by the Japanese label Dans La Vie, and selections for men by Kris Van Assche. In the next room, streetwear takes over, with Blondie T-shirts by 2K by Gingham and Vivienne Westwood Red Label accessories. Downstairs is a cosmetics-meets-gallery space with cheeky products pour deux by Yes for Lov or saucily named perfumes by État Libre d'Orange; a debut exhibition by photographer Cécile Brulé will be unveiled at the store's official opening in April. "We want to push young creation," Vanessa told us. "Paris should take a cue from London."

Raiders head coach Tom Cable will not be disciplined by the NFL after the league conducted an investigation into allegations that he commited acts of domestic violence against women and broke the jaw of former assistant coach Randy Hanson.
Reports indicate NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Cable's role in the training-camp incident with Hanson warranted an evaluation under the league's personal conduct policy. No criminal charges were filed against Cable.
Hanson filed a civil lawsuit against Cable and the Raiders on Tuesday. The lawsuit contained three causes of action — assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Cable's first wife and former girlfriend both alleged that Cable physically abused them at times during their relationship.

Loved being at this condo on Molokai!
Review submitted: November 12, 2013 Date of arrival: October 29, 2013
My hubby and I stayed at this beautiful condo for 5 days, after a busy 9 days on Maui. It was a wonderful way to end our time in Hawaii. As soon as the plane hit the runway at the airport, I felt 'peace and rest'. And when we arrived at this condo, I felt the same! It is just as described...a wonderful, clean, nicely decorated, peaceful place to be..especially where I came down with an illness during our stay. As we walked the grounds, my hubby and I just felt like we were home, even though we come from New England. This is just a lovely, lovely place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to go to Molokai, especially those who love quiet and peace, writers, readers, photographers, etc. My sis and her friend came over to visit us and they loved it too, and said the sleep sofa was very comfortable. The ambience of the condo is wonderful, and when you leave, you step out into a beautiful smell of plumeria! The whole complex is tastefully arranged and sort of hidden by tropical trees and plants. Molokai is like stepping back in time....no commercialization at all. So if you're looking for that, go to another island! We did the hike to Halawa Valley, swam in the bay there, took in Purdy's Macadamia Nut Farm, Coffees of Hawaii, and drove to Kalaupapa lookout, bought produce at organic Kumu Farm, and drove around Kaunakakai and other areas of the island, including the beaches on the west shore which is where the condo unit is. Deserted beaches, beautiful big waves, though rough undertoe, and certainly beautiful sunsets. Dixie Maru Beach is the only place we felt safe enough to swim. I found Molokai to be a wonderful photographic opportunity, also. Be forewarned though, that you need to get anything you will need for your stay, all in Kaunakakai, as this is the central point for the whole island, including restaurants. Again, there is no commercialism here, and very few restaurants...nothing at all like the other islands, but so beautiful and peaceful..a pleasant change from other islands. And I can't say enough about the owner of this condo. She was delightfully helpful with everything about the condo and the island! She was a joy to make my plans with! If I ever get to Molokai again, I will be renting her condo again, and will tell others to do the same! Truly the "aloha spirit" is alive and well in the people on Molokai....nothing but friendly. No wonder they call it the 'friendly isle'. :-)

Review submitted: June 1, 2013 Date of arrival: May 1, 2013
We absolutely loved the island - from the beaches and the Kite Shop at Maunaloa in the west to Halawa in the east, the quaint city of Kaunakakai and its Saturday morning Market Place south central, Kaluapapa NHP at Kalawao, by mule ride, in the north, the monk seals (saw 2), the toads, the turkeys, the birds (no need for an alarm clock) - and your condo unit. What a home away from home! Clean, comfortable, fully equipped. I particularly liked the screened-in lanai - after a shower from having sweated it out in the sun working on a tan, gentle breezes blowing and a good book, and enjoying our meals at the lanai table. Beautiful setting, well kept grounds, close to lovely, (almost) people-free beaches. I think we had a "people jam" on one weekend day ... there were about a dozen people on the beach in addition to us. Chatted with a fella from Maui ... he comes to Moloka'i on business and prefers to stay over a weekend so that he can take advantage of the surf and quiet beaches. Took in part of the Hula Festival and left just before the ukelele workshop.
The plantation shutters sold me when looking for a place to stay on Molokai. When we arrived we were very pleased to find that the condo is truly a home away from home. We didn't want for anything - fully equipped kitchen; two full baths; all the beach equipment (& towels) you could want; washer/dryer; very comfortable queen bed in the master and a comfortable pullout queen sofa bed. No need for a/c - gentle tropical breezes, screened lanai and quiet ceiling fans move the air around.
The golf course between Paniolo Hale and the shoreline has been abandonded but the cart/people/turkey path makes for a nice morning walk with the option to turn off and wander along the beaches, There is only one golf course on the island now - about half an hour away, up past Kualapu'u, an almost hidden left turn just before the Sugar Mill musuem.
Looking for a place to really get away from it all? This is it!

A Fantastic Weekend!
Review submitted: May 25, 2013 Date of arrival: May 17, 2013
We escaped to Molokai for a quick weekend away from our hectic life on Oahu. We were seeking peace, quiet, unpopulated beaches, and we got exactly what we wanted! This condo suited our needs perfectly.... it's outfitted with everything we needed, and more. The pictures don't actually do it justice.... sitting in the main living area, we felt like we were perched in a beautifully tranquil tree house. Just steps away, we had several beautiful beaches entirely to ourselves.
The owners were a dream to work with in arranging our weekend, and they included several incredibly helpful info lists about the island with our confirmation email, so we were able to get a feel for what we wanted to see and do before we even arrived (I'm a planner!). And, additional info awaited our arrival in a convenient binder in the living room.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this condo... we will return as soon as our schedule permits!

Love affair with Molokai
Review submitted: November 11, 2012 Date of arrival: October 1, 2012
It was a "vacation of a lifetime"! I spent the entire month of October, 2012 in Molokai and moved into a ready made home at Paniolo Hale, #T-2. This home away from home had every single amenity that made my vacation the most relaxing time away from home and job ever. The living area is spacious, the furniture cozy and comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. Everything I needed was at my fingertips. The bathrooms were spacious and the bedroom large and relaxing with a very comfortable queen bed and balcony overlooking blooming plumeria trees. The huge screened in lanai (with fabulous hammock) couldn't have been nicer. I spent many hours swinging in the hammock, watching and listening to the wild birds including majestic wild turkeys. I could hear the pounding surf from the lanai and bedroom, which was a luxurious sound.
Molokai is a unique island, full of beautiful scenery, full of local residents welcoming you with open arms. If nightlife is your cup of tea, you should go to another island, but if you want an easy pace with daily adventures like swimming, snorkeling, hiking, exploring then Molokai could be your paradise. It was mine.
Not to be missed: Mule Ride to Kalaupapa, Purdy Nut Farm, strolling and shopping through Kaunakakai, Hoolehua and Mauna Loa, "Aloha Fridays" at Molokai Hotel from 4-6 pm, BBQ at the Cook House, lazy drive to far East side of island, LomiLomi massages at Massage & Acupuncture in Kaunakakai, The Big Wind Kite Factory in Mauna Loa, watching the sunset on the beach with a glass of wine – a 2 minute walk from home.
I will be back. Aloha. Su

Get away from it all
Review submitted: April 30, 2012 Date of arrival: January 27, 2012
From the distant UK, this was our second stay on Molokai and it exceeded even our high expectations.
It is a long way to travel but so worth it. The weather was outstanding, the whale-watching from boat and beach wonderful and such a relaxing island. We loved Kaunakaki and the Saturday market, the friendly people and the wine store! Thank you Shell and Mike.
The Condo was also outstanding - clean, comforable, quiet and everything we needed was on hand.
We have already booked our return trip.

Review submitted: January 4, 2012 Date of arrival: December 20, 2011
Shell, thank you SO much for sharing your lovely condo with us. The location was perfect and you provided everything we could possibly need. We felt so cozy tucked away in the trees and loved star gazing directly over our heads every night through the large arched window over the bed. The beaches were amazing and we almost always had them totally to ourselves. All of your information about what to do on the island was extremely helpful and we enjoyed visiting all of your recommendations. You are SO right....the homemade Pesto from Kumu Farms is to die for! The bread from Kanemitsu Bakery was so delicious that we went back and bought several more loaves to take to Kauai with us as we continued our vacation. Our first visit to Molokai will DEFINITELY not be our last! Thank you!!!

Some Real "Downtime" on Molokai Condo Retreat
Review submitted: November 29, 2011 Date of arrival: November 7, 2011
My wife, Diane, and I had a FABULOUS stay on Molokai in this beautfiul, well maintained, lovely decor condo. We spent 7 wonderful nights in what we called "The Treehouse". It was exactly what we were looking for. Somewhere to truly relax and get out of the "Rat Race". This place totally fit the bill. I hope we can go back someday.

Moloka'i West end magic :-)
Review submitted: November 26, 2011 Date of arrival: October 29, 2011
Our stay @ this condo far exceeded our expectations. A very nice floor plan, beautifully decorated. Very well equipped, with good directions from the owner family on everything from "where in the condo is it?!" to secure WiFi log in code :-), and where to shop,what to see, what to do, etc.
This unit has a lanai that protrudes out from the building so that a flow thru breeze is not blocked by other units. Even so the foliage around it is just right to offer privacy and a view.
The complex is very quiet, very safe. Nice swimming pool, with community gas grill available and clean. Easy access to beaches. Some of the best beaches in the islands with surfers on two of them and relatively safe swimming access on the 3rd. Tho safe lighting in parking areas and walkways at nite, the lighting does not pollute the skies so star watching by the beach is fantastic, a must do!
I can't remember sleeping so very comfortably and well on a vacation as we did here.
Owner family is very helpful and easy to contact and make you feel like family. Beach towels and even chairs to take out to star gaze or beach sit. Great cookware, and little things like a coffee grinder for your fresh Moloka'i coffee add that home away from home feel.
We will plan to go back to Moloka'i for many reasons, but this condo rates right up there on the list of reasons.

Paradise at Paniolo Hale
Review submitted: June 22, 2011 Date of arrival: May 16, 2011
After researching many condos on Molokai my fiance and I found this gem of a condo to spend our honeymoon in and what a find it is! We were looking for a tranquil, clean, spacious, self sufficient condo near the beach and this beautiful condo surpassed all our hopes. It provides every amenity including beach towels and toys, all the kitchen gadgets you would need, lots of local information in a white binder on things to do and where to eat and shop. It is a real bonus having two full bathrooms...a real luxury for each of us to have our own! The condo is so bright and clean with beautiful comfortable furniture throughout. We kept the lanai doors and all the windows open the whole two weeks allowing the constant breezes of Molokai to flow through but if that's not enough there are large ceiling fans on both levels. We woke up just at sunrise every morning and had our coffee in the beautiful bedroom, as the sun rose through the huge window above us, listening to the waves in the distance, it was absolute heaven. At night we would sit on the deck off the bedroom and gaze at the stars. And if you are into star gazing, it is an incredible sight down at the beach just a 5 minute walk away. We also would take our wine and catch the sunsets, so beautifully peaceful. Everywhere we ventured to the beaches (and lots of them) we were at most times the only ones there...a honeymooners paradise!
The pool is exactly as it looks in the pictures and most of the time we were alone!
Molokai is not a 'night life' kind of place which was exactly what we were looking for but we did enjoy our Friday nights and a good meal at the seaside hotel restaurant/bar in Kuanakakai listening to the local musicians. All the artists set up booths outside as well to sell hand crafted beautiful jewelry and artwork. They also sell their wares at the Saturday market in Kuanakakai, if you miss them on Friday...but be sure to go early as they pack up and leave at noon.
Molokai is a truly beautiful island with huge vistas of land and sea and you really should take a trip to the east end to see the cliffs and falls and the contrast from the drier open ranch land of the west to the green lush mountainous east.
I just want to ad that the owners are so wonderful and helpful and accommodating to deal with...and my husband and I would highly recommend their special place. Our hearts and minds are full of the beauty of Molokai and will definitely go back one day. Mahalo Nui Loa...dearest Pates!

Molokai Retreat Condo
Review submitted: April 26, 2011 Date of arrival: April 11, 2011
My wife and I spent six (6) peaceful, delightful days in this condo on Molokai. The decor and furnishings in the condo were every bit as nice & comfortable as advertised by the owner, The grounds around the unit were lovely & the whole resort was well maintained with easy access to the beaches in front of the condos as well as a short walk to other beaches nearby. The interior of the condo was clean & well maintained with pretty much everything needed including a washer & dryer, a well equipped kitchen, 2 tv's, a dvd player complete with a good selection of movies. There was lots of reading & reference material including items of interest about Molokai, local birds, beaches, & places to visit nearby for swimming, sightseeing, historical interest, restaurants, grocery shops, local fruit and vegetable markets - every Saturday morning 7 - 11 a.m. in the town of Kaunakakai where we purchased very tasty fresh local corn on the cob as well as delicious papays - 3 for $2.00 & other veggies, fruit & nuts. In addition to all of the lovely, mostly deserted beaches there are organized ocean activities such as snorkeling & whale watching as well as a modern daily ferry to Maui that we did not take. We visited Kumuh Farms on the way from the condo to town where we purchased organic vegetables and homemade pesto - to die for. We toured Purdy's Macadamia Nut Farm (informative free tour), the Molokai Museum & Meyer Sugar Mill - the volunteer staffer working that day had made several trips to Kalaupapa National Historic Park - the former leper colony & had taken the mule ride down the cliffs on more than one occasion hence he was able to talk at length about these experiences. We found the people of Molokai very friendly, helpful & had many enjoyable experiences in the local restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores and other shops. We particularly enjoyed one day when we drove a paved highway from one end of the island to the other visiting many beaches & any historical points of interest along the way. At a certain point the road narrows to basically one lane (with wider points for passing), and we continued without any problems seeing some wonderfull views along the way, until we literally arrived at the beach in a bay at the end of the pavement. If you take this trip I suggest taking drinks, lunch, bathing suits & mats and snorkeling gear. My wife and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending a stay at this property to a friend or relative.

So relaxing!
Review submitted: December 15, 2010 Date of arrival: November 26, 2010
We were fortunate to spend a week here during the Thanksgiving holiday. It was restful and peaceful and the condo was everything we'd hoped for. With the information provided by the owners, we did a lot of exploring and the saw things and places we likely wouldn't have found on our own. We especially enjoyed eating at the Cookhouse, and having a relaxing cup of coffee on the big porch at the coffee plantation. Big Beach was incredible and was there wasn't a soul around. We found an old fashioned float and many unsual shells. The drive to Halawa Valley and the beach cove there was delightful. From there we went to Maui for two weeks, where we wished we'd stayed much longer on Molokai!

A Beautiful Place To Relax and Enjoy
Review submitted: April 3, 2010 Date of arrival: March 1, 2010
My wife and I spend one whole very relaxing month here. The owners of this Unit have put a lot of thought into the needs of their guests. Everything you need to make their home your home is provided. And to make things very easy for you they have written into a white binder everything you need to know about the unit and the island. The Unit is shaded by a lovely canape of trees which makes sitting out on the lanai comfortable at anytime of day. The Unit is situated only a few minute walk from the ocean where we enjoyed many spectacular sunsets. We enjoyed walking the beautiful isolated beaches and swimming at Dixie Muru beach which is about a five minutes drive. On Wednesday night we went and enjoyed the Hula Dancers at the Molokai Hotel and on Friday evening the Aloha Friday show there is fun too. There is even more local musical talent at the Coffee House on Sundays. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend their vacation relaxing and unwinding.

We are heading back to the wonderful island of Molokai in January for the third time! This will be our second time staying in this beautiful condo, it was already booked last year or it would be our third, as it is our first choice. The condo is spacious, clean, bright and airy, comfortable, and very well equipped with everything that you may need to help you have a fabulous vaction. We absolutely love it! The resort is quiet and serene and just a short walk to the beach and other walking paths. We have met many wonderful people there and on the island. Now we are REALLY excited to get back to the beautiful quiet island of Molokai for another great vaction!!

I really can't say enough good things about this condo and its location. My family and I stayed here during Dec/Jan of last year. I was looking for a place to relax and play with my kids, and I don't think I could have made a better choice. The condo is clean and beautiful, a wonderful place to spend time. The complex is very quiet and is located with in walking distance of several beaches and surrounded by an un-kept golf course where I loved to take a daily walk. Molokai is quiet and slow and has a small town feel, (which I loved) And the people (in contrast to the other Islands)are remarkably friendly and helpful. When I returned to my snowy home I was fully relaxed and satisfied. With out doubt, I would go back annually if I could.

I have realized in my life that it is not only a blessing but imperative that at some point throughout the year I get away to a place where I can truly begin to let go and relax from the daily grind. I love venturing to new and exciting cities, but just as important- if not more, are the times where I venture to the "countryside" and live as the locals do, experiencing life a little more the way I truly desire: without the hum of traffic or the many stressors demanding my attention, and letting go of all that binds. As soon as I see Molokai from the plane I begin to feel more at ease, but it's not until arriving to the Pate Place that I ultimately feel that all the "noise" dissipates, and I am finally at peace. A year that goes by without a visit to the condo and I am feeling something crucial missing in my life. There is nothing like waking to the sounds of doves, sensing the breeze scented by the plumeria outside, and descending from the bedroom to the lanai enjoying my breakfast surrounded by serenity and nature. The Pates have done a marvelous job at creating even more paradise within paradise. I will forever be a devoted patron. Thank you!

My family and I stayed here in June 2009 and really loved it. The condo is very welcoming and is beautifully decorated. The hammock on the screened-in porch is a wonderful place to relax. The owners were extremely easy to deal with and very accommodating. You will not be disappointed in this condo, I would recommend it to anyone visiting Molokai. We enjoyed our stay and we will stay here again on our next trip to Molokai.

text:
None of the opinions here reflect the views of the Short Fuse Blog.
Whilst arranging my end of season numbers, which I'll be posting around the SBnation football sites over the next week, I came across the percentage of minutes played for each player.
The usual method used of telling us, the fans, of how much any given player played for his side is total minutes played, I think those numbers can be taken and turned into a percentage using the total minutes the team played in the season. By using this we can come up with a depth chart for each position and this can tell us a few things.
-Who was used the most
-who was available for selection considering injuries and suspension
-Who was trusted by the manager
After the jump I'll introduce you to something I'll call ToP(time on pitch) %
Arsenal played 3612 minutes in the EPL for an average of 95 minutes per game.
Each players % is of the total mins they individually played against the total number of minutes the team played. An example X player plays 361 minutes of the 3612 minutes Arsenal played this season and thus has a ToP of 10%
So the Arsenal depth chart looks like this
Szczesny 23612 Mins 100% ToP%
Koscielny 2874 mins 79.5% ToP%
Vermaelen 2478 mins 68.6% ToP%
Metersacker 1830 mins 50.6% ToP%
Sagna 1701 mins 47.1% ToP%
Gibbs 1253 mins 34.6% ToP%
Djourou 1166 mins 32.3% ToP%
Dos Santos 1012 mins 28% ToP%
Coquelin 630 mins 17.4% ToP%
Jenkinson 493 mins 13.6% ToP%
We can see a certain level of consistency here with the CB's with Vermaelen and Koscielny being the de facto 1st choice pairing with the new signing in August, Metersacker, jumping in when injury struck.
The full back areas are a mess though, Sagna less than 50% ToP %, Gibbs and Dos Santos not nailing down the position, mostly due to injury and with Sagna breaking a leg twice in a season. The problem here being the back up full backs not being of the required quality.
Arsenal were in the top 4 of every statistical category that I counted for the 2011/12 season, bar two very important measures. Goals conceded (8th) and save % where Arsenal were staggeringly 19th out of 20. Consistency of selection and the growing maturity of the young goalkeeper should improve those numbers dramatically and enable Arsenal-if they keep Van Persie-to improve next season.
Song 2999 mins 83% ToP%
Arteta 2475 mins 68.5% ToP%
Ramsey 2465 mins 68.3% ToP%
Rosicky 1759 mins 48.6% ToP%
Frimpong 218 mins 0.060% ToP%
We can clearly see who was the work horse here, it was Alex Song and his 83% ToP%. He has improved steadily throughout his career and this was a breakout season of sorts for the player. Arteta and Ramsey came next on the depth chart with very similar ToP%'s, Arteta being an especially good signing and Ramsey continuing his development. Rosicky played very well when his fitness held up, and, was mightily impressive late in the season.
Has Fabregas been replaced? I don't watch Arsenal week in week out but purely from a statistical point of view, I'd say yes. Arsenal were very strong statistically, except for the save % and goals scored, and although a little responsibility can be portioned to the midfield and it's shape, I'd say that selling Fabregas, for that amount of money, was a very good deal for Arsenal and his loss and it's effects have been minimal.
Walcott 2747 mins 76% ToP%
Gervinho 1685 mins 46.6% ToP%
Benayoun 901 mins 24.9% ToP%
Arshavin 722 mins 19.9% ToP%
Chamberlain 556 mins 15.3% ToP%
Walcott is the undisputed #1 wide player and he had to be as this group looks a little light in quality. The playing time Walcott received should do him no end of good. Benayoun was a key loan signing, and a player who should be brought back if the cost is minimal. Arshavin is gone.
Now, Oxlade-Chamberlain. For me, he looks a tremendous prospect, quick, skillful and blessed with the ability to have an end product. This is the key difference between himself and Walcott, I call it football intelligence. Chamberlain appears, although it's early days, to have a footballing brain. He picks the right pass, knows when to run at a player, understands the tempo of the game when he appears from the bench. All told, I think Wenger used him very sparingly and this, although Arsenal fans disliked it, will be good for his development. Expect to see a ToP% figure of around 30-40% next season. A quality, quality prospect.
Van Persie 3334 mins 92.3% ToP%
Chamakh 169 mins 0.046% ToP%
Henry 94 mins 0.026% ToP%
Van Persie not only played the most minutes for of any of the outfield players for Arsenal, it also looks to be the highest ToP% number of the teams I have looked at so far. He was a revelation for just staying fit and healthy and not burning out. Because, my Lord, that is the definition of an overworked striker. The fact he was able to post the sensational, and generational numbers he posted this season is incredible. He was 1st in goals, 2nd in assists, 3rd in minutes per goal, the one negative was his scoring % (shots on goal/goals) regressed steadily from February from around 44% to the 36.5% figure he finished on. He was a revelation and owner of one of the best seasons for a striker the EPL has ever seen.
Chamakh, ugh, an irrelevance, he should of been so much more. Henry did well in his short cameo. But the real story here is the lack of depth or an alternative. Arsenal would have been in trouble if Van Persie's new found durability had been breached. No player, league wide, was so heavily used and depended on like Van Persie was (40% of all teams goals, involved in 52.7% of all teams goals) and that is a situation that couldn't go on. Hence, Podolski. Is he the answer? We don't know, but he is help and that is what Arsenal need right now. It doesn't bear thinking about where Arsenal would have finished without Van Persie's incredible season.
Food for thought for the near future no doubt.

Dan Holme joins lifting and rigging company Lift Turn Move as external sales manager.
Holme comes onboard LTM's steadily growing sales team, working alongside John Jones, David King, Paul Hadfield, and Jenny Hobday. He worked at Tomcat UK for three years and left there for a brief foray into the moving light business, before realizing that his heart was definitely in rigging.
John Jones comments, "We weren't in the market for another staff member, but when Dan became available, we moved swiftly to appoint him. Experience of this calibre doesn't come along that often."
Within a week of their first contact, Holme sat behind his desk at LTM. He's now getting up to speed with the current developments, before stepping out to meet the public. His main responsibilities will be on the road promoting the products and giving great LTM service to clients.
"I'm thrilled to be working with LTM," Holme says, "It's an area I already know well, and there's plenty of new and exciting challenges and ideas ahead of me. The chance to work with some excellent people made my decision to return to rigging an easy one, especially as JJ is an Everton supporter."

Blacks are always going to make themselves out as "minorites". We were talking about civil rights in class the other day, and one kid (white i may add) said something along the lines of "America is a pretty equal place now" and the one black kid in the class was like "No the fukc its not, its getting better, but it aint equal". I just don't understand how anyone could believe its not equal. Companies hire the most suitable client, and if a white and black apply, and the white gets it, then the company is racist. That might be true in a very limited number of cases, but normally its because the white kid was more suitable for the job, or the black kid came in with baggy pants and a shirt that said "pussy ass cracker". And now we have a black president, whose votes mainly came from uninformed voters who thought itd be a good change to have a black president for once. I don't like to think of myself as a racist, but im starting to feel like the minority.

things are better but not equal.
no one is immune to prejudice. i almost believe the desire to feel superior is a form of human nature.
firms do not "hire the best candidate." in the auto industry we hire to "meet our numbers". we have to hire the appropriate employee racial / ethnic mix or face audits and fines by the EEOC. we have to go out and curry favor with universities and colleges that concentrate on "minority" students in order to prove we are attempting to avoid discrimination in hiring. so much of it is defensive activity.
as long as there are j.jacksons and a.sharptons running around in the media there will be a focus on and perpetuation of discrimination. think of it all as a business. if j.jackson's operation-push went out of business because there was no discrimination and no stories in the press, what would j.jackson and his staff do for a living? get a job? yea, right.
think of organizations like operation-push or the naacp as corporate hierarchies and their minority members as employees. it is the nature of organizations to grow not wither or willingly put themselves out of business. it's an industry, just like united way, march-of-dimes, etc. think of all the people who would be out of jobs if and when a cure for cancer/diabetes/discrimination is found.
and while i'm at it, i am tired of someone trying to make me feel guilty and paying welfare to people who feel it's there "job" to be poor. did i force their kids to drop out of school before graduation? did i beat down on them if they got good grades? did i make them think they could make their millions in sports, on the street, as a rapper or as a dj? am i responsible for cramming the thug culture down their throats and setting them apart from the mainstream? did i force that teenage girl to get pregnant, drop out of school and then have several more fatherless children that are supported by me because the baby-mama has to take care of the kids and cannot work. i think not.
history lessons in school taught me about the melting-pot concept in the early 1900's. for the life of me i cannot see how all those non-english speaking immigrants made it in america without a national organization for the advancement of polish/german/irish/slavic/asian/dutch/etc people!
if you look at today's asian and arabic groups in u.s., they seem to be doing ok without a lot of public whining. they depend on and support each other. there's a living lesson here that no one important wants to learn from.

I admit to having racist thoughts but I believe it's because certain people perpetuate the stereotypes. I pose this question: Name one area that is predominantly black that is prospering. I'm not talking a nice black neighborhood but a community and businesses that are doing ok financially and the area does not look run down. I want to believe the black community can take pride in it's surroundings but so far I have not seen any proof. Also, please don't feed me that line of shit that says the black community is forced to live the way they do because of Whity, don't believe it. How much more free money can we pour into a community without getting any results?

I work down in the city a lot. And I don't mean the (OK) parts of town.
But it seems what I've seen is they love there "thug life".
I hear them on the news all the time saying they can't get out of the ghetto and ramble on about all there bs..
It's not hard to get in a car drive to another city and start over with a "real" life with next to no money.... Yes it would suck. But I guess they don't "want out" that bad..

Initially great news is that all but 2 players from this class are on campus and checked in. The remaining players are Rodriguez Coleman and Demetrius Alston. Greg Blair, a JUCO LB from Pennsylvania, is expected on campus later in the summer. Here are the jersey numbers and notes for the newest freshman additions: Ralph David Abernathy #19 Alex Chisum #80 Patrick Coyne #9 Parker Ehinger #78 Erik Ernst #35 A.J. Fleak #26 Chad Hannah #97 Alex Heineman #30 Kevin Hyland #41 Dyjuan Lewis #2 - Redshirted, thank you NCAA... Innocent Macha #50 - Preferred walk-on from Roger Bacon Brandon Mitchell #70 Chris Moore #15 Max Morrison #82 - Looks like he's not being grey shirted, which might indicate Rod Coleman is taking the JUCO route Silverberry Mouhon #92 Daniel Murray #68 Justin Murray #74 Trenier Orr #28 Carroll Phillips #56 - Listed as DL, thought he would be LB Jameel Poteat #22 Matt Staubach #48 Akise Teague #27 Chad West #98 Kirk Willis #61
Per Bearcats Lair, Vincent Miller, a WR out of Henry Clay HS in Lexington, Kentucky, has made it #12 for UC. Look for a full analysis of Miller shortly.

Fresh on the heels of my award-winning 2008 Royals O-Swing Percentage Graph, here is a graph the O-Swing (percentage of pitches swung at outside of the strike zone) for all the teams of the AL Central from 2005-2008 by year, also compared to the MLB average. Remember -- this is for hitters, so lower is better. (Maybe I [or someone else, of course] will do something like this for pitchers next week). The results speak for themselvs, I guess, but they are saying all sorts of things. Discuss and enjoy! For a larger version, click here (opens in new tab/window).

NAF Communications Department
In response to recent media coverage of arrests at a non-NAF member abortion facility in Philadelphia, National Abortion Federation (NAF) President and CEO Vicki Saporta issued the following open letter to women who may be considering abortion and looking for a quality abortion provider.
Open Letter to Patients From NAF President Vicki Saporta: Despite Recent Headlines, Quality Abortion Care is the Norm
The recent arrest of a Philadelphia doctor and his associates has made national headlines and led some women to ask how they can be sure they are choosing a quality abortion provider.
Although stories like this get a lot of media coverage, it's important that you understand that this particular facility in Philadelphia is an outlier and not typical of the high-quality abortion care provided by NAF members.
The doctor in question, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, was NOT a NAF member. As the Grand Jury Report in this case notes, Gosnell applied for NAF membership in late 2009, but his application was rejected because his facility did not meet NAF's standards for quality care.
What Does It Mean to be a NAF Member?
In order to become a NAF member, a facility must complete a rigorous application process. Member facilities must comply with our Clinical Policy Guidelines (CPGs), which set the standards for quality abortion care in North America. In fact, the Grand Jury Report states that NAF standards, "are, in many ways, more protective of women's safety than are the state's [Pennsylvania] regulations." NAF conducts site visits to confirm that our members, or any prospective members, are in compliance with our Guidelines, which helps ensure that women receive high-quality abortion care.
Finding a Quality Provider
Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Even the Grand Jury Report acknowledges the safety of abortion, and clearly distinguishes between this one facility and the legitimate abortion providers in the state of Pennsylvania.
If you have questions about how to find an abortion provider offering high-quality care, please visit our website or call the NAF Hotline Referral Line (1-877-257-0012). Visit our website to learn more about choosing the right abortion provider.
The National Abortion Federation (NAF) is the professional association of abortion providers in North America. Our mission is to ensure safe, legal, and accessible abortion care, which promotes health and justice for women. Our members include clinics, doctors' offices, and hospitals, who together care for more than half the women who choose abortion each year in the United States, Canada, and Mexico City. For more information, visit our website at www.prochoice.org.

Touch control question
The owner's manual suggests that the touch control piston be in the retracted position (control leaver toward the seat) when not in use to limit it's exposure to moisture or other elements. If I park my tractor with the piston retracted (mower down), the unit will automatically lift the mower when next I try to start the Cub. Is this normal behavior? I'm concerned because lifting the mower seems to work the starter more than it should, and makes it harder to start the tractor.
Slappy, if the control lever has not been moved, the mower should not move when you start the engine.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
When I first noticed it, I thought that perhaps I had bumped the leaver, but I've watched it carefully the last few times and the leaver creeps forward (lifting the mower with it) without any persuation from me other than engaging the starter. The system seems to work fine otherwise. Any ideas?
Some Cubs came with an adjustable friction touch control lever. If you are lucky you can increase the friction of the lever. If not you may have to replace the friction washer on the lever, or it could be the spring is spent.
Hope this helps.
It could be as simple as not enough friction on the control lever or perhaps a sticking control valve spool. If you take a look at the touch control manual on Rudi's site, it has a troubleshooting chart.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
When I had the front end apart to fix the steering, I went ahead and took the control assembly off and replaced the spring and put some new friction disks in. IH dosen't support the disks and so I had to use a disk from a Ford and cut it down. Maybe this is the problem - my Cub is rejecting the friction disk transplant!
My Lo-boy does the same thing if I let it sit for a while (several weeks) without starting it. After startup it works fine and since it usually doesn't sit for more than a few days I don't really worry about it. I've had the tractor almost five years and it hasn't gotten any worse.
