Little Lodge - perfect for Yosemite
Review submitted: July 28, 2013 Date of arrival: July 6, 2013
Great Little lodge near the lovely quaint town of Mariposa. Although it feels a long way from anywhere - it isn't. Perfect for our stay and used as a base for trips in and around Yosemite - an hour from the entrance to the national park. The lodge had everything we required - great book of advice left by the owners and were always on hand if we needed any help. Saw all sorts of wildlife out the back and the Hot Tub and BBQ were great to finish off the day. And only 3 hours to San Francisco - Great few days spent at the lodge finished off our holiday perfectly.

We spend our evenings enjoying the fireplace and the spa. I would highly recommend the little lodge and do plan to go back yealy if possible!

Great Relaxing Getaway for Our Family
Review submitted: April 4, 2013 Date of arrival: August 13, 2012
My family of four stayed in the main house and used it as a "base camp" for day trips during the summer to Yosemite and Bass Lake. This was a great place for us. Kirsty took care of everything - even a bottle of wine from a nearby winery was waiting for us upon our arrival. One cherished memory of our stay there was sitting in the spa/jacuzzi in the late afternoons after our day trips and, as if on cue, a deer and her 2 fawns strolled by unfailingly. (Deer sightings not guaranteed, I'm sure!) There was plenty of space for the kids to play. They loved sleeping upstairs in the bedrooms, while we parents had privacy downstairs. We also loved the BBQ, too. We definitely had the feeling of being "away from it all" and surrounded by nature, but we had all the comforts of home at the Little Lodge. If we stay in the Yosemite area again, we hope this will be our first stop.

We Loved Little Lodge!
Review submitted: February 26, 2013 Date of arrival: February 15, 2013
We had a wonderful time at the Little Lodge. The things that made it special were: hottub was HOT, the way it should be, not throttled down to save a buck, the grounds were beautiful, we felt like we were in Yosemite, it's a very short drive, with no major change of scenery. Our dogs loved it, they had in/out roaming priveledges, not found elsewhere, and with the many windows, we could keep an eye on them too. The kitchen was very well equipped, and there is a strong family and children "presence" which adds to the charm. We also liked that it was far enough off the road we did not feel like our dogs were in danger of going in the road, and the privacy was 100%. The nearby town was friendly, and there is a great little museum with many really cool gold rush era items. You can even pan for gold in the creek I am told, we are saving the gold strike for next time.
Thanks for keeping a plade where we are welcome with our dogs, it was a perfect getaway! We Loved It!

Wonderful quiet getaway
Review submitted: February 5, 2013 Date of arrival: January 24, 2013
We brought our 2 year old son for his first trip to Yosemite and snow and stayed at the little lodge. It was fabulous! Everything you need and more - comfortable beds, plenty of room, a hot tub, tv/stereo/DVD, you name it. Super kid friendly too with toys, high hair, pack and play, even kiddie silverware and cups. Our son loved the outdoor play area with swings and playhouse and also loved whooshing down the hill on the tricycle. Beautiful setting, peaceful and quiet, but not too far into town. Our dog loved romping through the woods.
It's a 40 minute gorgeous drive into the park. As much as we love Yosemite, it was great to stay in Mariposa where we had tons of space and were away from the crowds. Mariposa is a cute town too - check out the museum in town, high country cafe for delicious healthy fare, happy burger for good burgers and fries, and pioneer market for everything else.
Thanks Kirsty for everything, we'll be back!

Loved the Little Lodge!
Review submitted: July 31, 2012 Date of arrival: July 19, 2012
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Little Lodge! The house is cozy and charming, as well as being very well equipped. The property is really beautiful in its woodsy setting. The nearby town of Mariposa has a grocery store and some good restaurants, and the home is decently situated for entering Yosemite from either the west or south entrance. Kirsty was especially helpful in giving us advice on planning our time there, and there are some excellent resources at the house for touring Yosemite and for hiking in the area. They even left us a lovely book about Yosemite to take with us! We were very pleased with everything about this vacation rental and would highly recommend it!

Our Little House in the Woods
Review submitted: May 25, 2012 Date of arrival: May 10, 2012
My son still talks about "our little house in the woods" near Yosemite. We loved this cozy home and our 4 year old son simply did not want to leave. The house is just as pictured online. We spent each of our days exploring and hiking in Yosemite then drove back to the house to soak in the hot tub and make dinner. We really appreciated the incredibly stocked kitchen, the high quality beds, the privacy that both the upstairs and downstairs suites enjoy from the rest of the house, the beautiful grounds (we saw many deer and heard wild turkeys (?) and owls at dusk each day, and the special touches for children. My son happily played inside and outside with all of the toys provided during any of our downtime at the house.
Also, Yosemite was absolutely beautiful in May! We hope to return next year with another small family to continue exploring Yosemite and the other areas around this house. The drive times provided here by the owner are accurate and definitely something to keep in mind. Our drive in along the Merced River each day became a bit of a ritual complete with its own soundtrack and an ice cream break each way, but it did test the limits of our four year olds' patience in the car a few times. Then again, he loved spotting the first view of the river and all the rafts coming down, etc. so we made it work. It was definitely worth it to get away from the crowds of the park and to have all of the amenities this house provides.
Overall, this house was the perfect blend of comfort, quiet and proximity to Yosemite for us. Kirsty was helpful and responsive and has done a wonderful job of creating a home that feels like you are staying with good friends. I especially highly recommend this house to families with young children.

Great Weekend Getaway
Review submitted: February 22, 2012 Date of arrival: February 17, 2012
Loved the Little Lodge. Kirsty was so personable and attentive to me, made me feel like I was her only guest in months which I know wasn't true! The house is well appointed with a well stocked kitchen, lots of towels, blankets and SO MUCH KID STUFF! My sons are 5 and 8 and didn't want to leave - board games, building toys, hot tub, play structure. We enjoyed building fires, they had all we needed to start them, and the beds are of great quality - we actually slept well! Would love to visit in summer or fall when we could enjoy the property and hang-out outside.
About an hour to Yosemite Valley, easy drive but I can see it could get traffic-y in summer. We entered at all 3 entrances and the drive was fine and adventurous. Mariposa is a cute town, food is priced well at the local grocery - we never ate out b/c the house was so great. My kids loved the mining museum.

Owners response: We were thrilled to hear how helpful all the kid's stuff ended up being for you all, Kathy, we know only too well how disappointing it can be have chosen a place where there's nothing for the kids to be doing. Comfortable, quality beds is another thing we take seriously so we were exceptionally pleased to know you slept well... nothing quite like a bad bed to ruin an otherwise delightful vacation. Anyway, can't wait to have you back, thanks for leaving your review! K & J

The Little Lodge
Review submitted: February 1, 2012 Date of arrival: February 18, 2011
Wow, what an incredible escape. We called Kirsty from Merced to tell her we were on the way. Talk about hospitality. When we arrived, the air was brisk but the cabin was toasty warm with a fire going in the wood stove and relaxing music playing on the stereo. The hot tub was incredible, the views extraordinary and the privacy akin to having your own hideaway behind a locked gate. We had the cabin for two days while we hiked in Yosemite. We hated to leave but have the warmest of memories not only of the this exceptional cabin but the down home hospitality afforded to us by our hosts.

Absolutely loved it!
Review submitted: December 3, 2011 Date of arrival: October 20, 2011
We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin. We had a two year-old and it was her first real vacation. There were so many toys generously provided by the owners, a great playground with a playhouse, a swing and even a tricycle and so much more inside and outside of the house, that she was entertained all four days we spent at the cabin. Kid friendliness was beyond our expectations and made a great difference.
The house is incredibly cozy and organized very thoughtfully. We felt like home from the moment we entered it. We greatly appreciated the generosity of the owners with providing every necessity and so much more. We just did not want to leave.
The landscape around the house is very serene. It is quiet and relaxing. Even if we chose not to go anywhere and stayed in the house, we would not be bored at all.
We hope to be back!

Everything and more than the listing stated. The property was clean and well maintained. The owners responded a phone call with a quick question very warmly and welcomed calls with questions. I'd recommend this property when visiting Yosemite as it's the best route into the park.
Would highly reecommned to others.

3 Generations loved the Little Lodge
Review submitted: June 29, 2011 Date of arrival: June 21, 2011
One never knows what to expect based on photos and internet descriptions when choosing a vacation rental; however, in the case of the Little Lodge every claim made by the owners was accurate. There were no disappointments. In fact the amenities provided far exceeded our expectations. (Although it is a small detail, there was even a brand new dish sponge. Having had the experience of finding dirty, worn out, mildewed sponges in other vacation rentals, I was quite impressed!) We were 5 guests, parents, grandparents and a 4-1/2 year old. The 2 bedrooms provided more than enough space for everyone to have privacy including separate bathrooms for the two families. The king size beds were just like home - comfortable without any sagging - what one would expect in a 4 star hotel, not to mention the ever-present peace and tranquility. The kitchen was amazingly equipped with enough utensils to prepare wonderful dinners if one so chose although we didn't want any fuss and stayed with BBQ fare and loved eating outdoors. The furniture in the living room was comfortable and clean with space for everyone. The hot tub was a huge success, especially with our granddaughter and kept her occupied even more than the swings and playhouse in the yard. As for the location of the home, it's close enough to the cute town of Mariposa for dinner or antiquing although a "longish" drive to Yosemite which may not be worth it considering the crowds we encountered, weekday or weekend. However perusing the hiking binder provided by the owners, we discovered a more local hike, Lewis Creek/Corlieu Falls, which was equal in beauty to almost any hike we've taken in Yosemite. Our standards are pretty high and everyone agreed that the Little Lodge is a place we would return to without any hesitation (although I'm wondering if I should share this treasure)!
PS Although she never came in the house, Charley the cat became a dear friend and greeted us every morning! We already miss her.

Thanks SO much Ellen for your kind words and appreciation of the attention to detail we care so much about. We were so glad you "3 generations" all found the location, the beds, the cleanliness and the amenities so satisfactory, you were delightful guests and we appreciate you all treating the home with such care. Thanks too for having taken the time to share your experience with other potential guests of The Little Lodge, we do hope to have you return to perhaps this, or to one of our other two homes as you mentioned! ;-) . . . . . . . . . . . .

MUST STAY HERE!! Perfect Yosemite getaway!
Review submitted: May 4, 2011 Date of arrival: April 28, 2011
We had the most wonderful time staying at the Little Lodge, and absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet escape to Yosemite, with or without children. We went as two couples, and each had an entire floor (with bathroom and shower) to ourselves. The lodge was cozily decorated and filled with everything -- literally EVERYTHING -- you could possibly need for your stay. Coffee maker, pots, pans, condiments in the fridge, spices in the cabinets, hair dryers, board games, movies, bath towels, beach towels, paper towels, extra blankets, fire wood, grill tools, internet connection, dishwasher, and a washer and dryer!
The location was gorgeous: a quick (and breathtaking) drive to any of the park entrances, yet isolated on a quiet road with a lush, private yard full of flowers, hummingbirds, and the occasional family of deer. We honestly could have spent the entire stay at the lodge if there weren't such amazing sites to see in the park.
We spent our mornings drinking coffee on the sunny patio, with the adorable resident outdoor cat by our side. Coming home from our hikes, it was straight to the gas grill, then dinner and a cold beer in the roomy, cozy kitchen. At night, we'd soak in the pristine hot tub under the trees and stars, then race through the cool air to sit inside by the glowing wood-burning fireplace. An endless pile of firewood sat outside the front door, so we cooked s'mores until we were sick of them.
The beds were big and comfortable. The rooms were adorable and "log cabin-y." Kirsty, the owner, was extra-helpful and sweet, and available whenever we needed her. In short, it was absolutely perfect, and we didn't want to leave.
We didn't bring kids, but the place was buzzing with activities and games for families. I strongly recommend the Little Lodge to anyone. Period. Unless it's the same weekend we plan on returning :)

Review submitted: January 30, 2011 Date of arrival: January 21, 2011
Our stay at Little Lodge was so comfortable and easy, I will return again and again (and refer to family and friends!). The fully equipped home really meant we didn't need to bring anything but our clothes and personal toiletries. While we were there I baked a cake and blended smoothies, two things I have never been able to do on a whim on vacation before! The location is private, but accessible, and the hot tub is the perfect place to take in the night sky and the morning sun. Our son loved the toys, play equipment, and exploring. The owners are genuinely kind and generous. We loved Little Lodge!

A Wonderful Place!
Review submitted: December 14, 2010 Date of arrival: December 1, 2010
From start to finish, our Experience with the owners of The Little Lodge and The Lodge itself was just perfect. An immediate reply to our initial inquiry was followed by an easy, yet thorough booking process, flawless directions to the home and surrounding attractions also added much to the ease of our stay. Upon our arrival, the home was far more lovely than even the pictures and description online could describe, the children were wild with enthusiasm at everything that was provided, "just for them!". The home was amazingly clean and so well-stocked we were amazed, in years of renting other homes through VRBO never was one so complete, or delightful. We slept in GREAT beds, cooked many meals in the amazingly well-stocked kitchen, spent hours playing the piano and also the abundant board games they provided. We enjoyed the big hot tub right out the back door (Wow), hiked around the property and found all sorts of historic treasures to admire, drove to Yosemite via both Hwy 140, and Hwy 41 with ease, what beautiful travels they were! Jerry and Kirsty were so attentive to our needs, nothing was left unattended, they have surely thought of every single thing that could possibly make a vacation rental stay complete, and comfortable. To top it all off, our security deposit was already refunded by the time we arrived back home (only a 6 hour drive away!). We would definitely recommend this home to absolutely ANYONE who wants a reliably great mountain getaway, you'll be so glad you chose to stay at the Litttle Lodge.

We LOVED The Little Lodge in the snow! Our last-minute reservation was perfect, a great discount and we were able to plan when we knew there was snow in the forecast. Thanks for making the sleds and discs available to us and for being so helpful, it was so much easier than we had feared it would be to drive up here in the snow. The spa was incredible, the house was immaculate and had everything we could have imagined, and more! What else can I say...this place is the BOMB!

What a great time my family and I had at The Little Lodge! My grandchildren were enchanted by the swings, foosball table and toys provided, my son and daughter-in-law loved the jacuzzi and lazing on the brick patio under the beautiful trees and we were all wide-eyed when deer came by morning and evening, not to mention the squirrels and wild turkey! The Lodge is close to Yosemite, and there was a myriad of things to do and places to go, good restaurants in Mariposa, wading in river in the park... you name it we did it. And the Lodge has everything you need for a great, relaxing time! It was a 5-star vacation at a 2-star price!!

How can it be that in 2013, women currently hold just 10 to 15 percent of the senior leadership (C-Suite) positions in corporate America? To get a different result — to truly support, retain and promote women in the workplace — we should be engaging men in the conversation as full partners.
The news is full of stories about the hacking into large companies: Burger King, Jeep, The New York Times, and even supposedly adept tech companies such as Apple, Twitter, Facebook, and Microsoft. Unfortunately, hacking isn't just for the big boys — small businesses are facing an unprecedented threat of cyberattacks.
Mohammed Yunis came up with a good idea: Give small loans to people who don't have access to capital. A high percentage of the world's population lives at a subsistence level. They spend all they make on food, and have none left for an "investment" that might make their microbusiness more profitable. If you could buy more bananas in the first place, your profit would be higher. If you could buy a cart, you could bring more bananas back to your village to sell than you've been able to carry yourself.

Folks were out and about early on Saturday making sure the areas that welcome visitors to Albany, are in tip-top shape.
Volunteers with keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful and The Tree Board, as well as some folks from Turner Job Corp, put on their yard gloves to prune trees on Newton road near the airport.
"These are our gateways coming into the city, people coming in possibly for the first time flying in, we want them to see a pretty Albany and having the plantings makes it a pretty sight, but they do need maintenance," said volunteer Jackie Dixon.
The group holds maintenance events, such as the one held on Saturday periodically through out the year.

Conservationist groups to tackle overgrown Berrow Dunes nature reserve
5:00pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
CONSERVATION groups are looking for volunteers to help clear the sea buckthorn from Berrow Dunes Local Nature Reserve.
Since its introduction less than a century ago, the sea buckthorn has spread over half of the reserve, threatening at least 270 different species of flower that have been recorded there.
Bristol University Conservation Group will be visiting on Sunday, February 9 to clear the sea buckthorn, and Sedgemoor Conservation Volunteers will be visiting on March 2.
Anyone wishing to help out should wear appropriate clothing, footwear and gloves and meet at 10.30am on either February 9 or March 2 at the Local Nature Reserve car park.
To get involved further in conservation events at Berrow Dunes, contact Sedgemoor District Council's Landscape Officer 0845 408 2540.

"If you get off a plane, in any corner of the world, and ask the people there if they know Trump, they will say yes," Sneddon said.
Despite owning commercial and residential buildings around the world, this is the Trump Organization's first foray into the world of real estate sales outside its own properties.
Sneddon said the company felt that it was the right time to expand because of the power of the Trump brand abroad and an influx of foreign buyers in New York City,
"It's not much of a stretch to see how we think we could do something at a higher level on a real estate brokerage arena," he said.
The firm launched with around 20 agents, and has properties primarily in New York City. They plan to expand, but so far there's no set time frame. It's about "quality, not quantity," Sneddon said.
One thing's for sure —Trump is targeting high rollers.
Sneddon said that the average Trump International Realty listing is on the market for $3 million. In comparison, the average sale price in New York City is about $1.4 million, he said.
And while the company hasn't made any sales yet — it opened its doors the last week of October — it does have a $75 million trophy listing in New York City.
"We want to be a real estate brokerage firm known for handling complex and sophisticated deals," Sneddon said. "We pride ourselves in our resources. The Trump brand expertise gives us a serious competitive advantage that helps us deliver on that next level. The Trump brand gives us a global reach."

O'Neil Fills Up Box Score, Wins Player of the Week
MACON, Ga. – FGCU's Derrick O'Neil contributed everywhere possible in leading the Eagles to a pair of victories last week and for his efforts, he won his first Player of the Week award, the conference office announced on Tuesday.
O'Neil, a junior business management major from Moreno Valley, Calif., left his greatest imprint in the Eagles' 72-68 win against Campbell for their first conference win of the season. He netted 16 points, grabbed nine rebounds, handed out five assists and picked up five steals and three blocks at the defensive end: He became just the 10th player in Division I this year to record a game with at least 15 points, five rebounds, five assists and five steals. Among those 10 single-game performances, only O'Neil also registered more than single block. He followed that performance with 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and a blocked shot in a 65-46 win against Johnson & Wales, giving him two games of at least 14 points, seven rebounds and five assists; no one else in the league has recorded more than one game achieving those numbers. For three games last week, he averaged 12.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.7 blocks.
O'Neil has averaged 13.6 points per game in his last eight games and collected 8.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game in those contests. He has collected at least six rebounds in seven straight games and has five games with multiple assists and steals.

The festivities commemorating the 50th anniversary of the civil rights movement wrapped up Sunday evening with a mega civil rights celebration and worship service.
50 years ago on Sunday evening marks one of the worst days for racial intolerance in Shreveport. That's when armed horseback riding police stormed into a worship service at Little Union Baptist Church. Political and church leaders gathered to remember that day and celebrate how far the community has come.
Also in attendance was grandfather Ennis Jones, who grew up generations apart from his grandson Titus and experienced a very different Shreveport, "When I was growing up, they only had one school for blacks in Caddo Parish that was Booker T. Washington High School," said Jones.
He explained to KSLA News 12 that he brought his grandson to learn some history from the final event of the 50th year commemoration of the civil rights movement in North Louisiana. "They need to learn what people went through years ago, that nothing comes free," said Jones.
United States Senator Mary Landrieu joined Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover and other church leaders to honor civil rights activists and talk about the important role the local community played in the civil rights movement. "Here in Shreveport there were acts of defiance and courage that need to be remembered," said Sen. Landrieu.
Many admit the City of Shreveport has come a long way since the civil rights movement in the 1960's, but Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover agreed more work needs to be done, "We are determined to ensure, the Shreveport of 25 years from now, the Shreveport of 50 years from now, will be even better than the one we are in, here today," said Glover.
NAACP Shreveport President Lloyd Thompson told the crowd that in order to continue moving forward, the young folks must learn their history. As for Titus Jones, what happened during his grandfather's time is disturbing. "The fact that a man had police officers beat the black people, that shocked me."
Thompson explained what he really wants the young people to take away is differences can still be made to make for a better future.Copyright 2013 KSLA. All rights reserved.

Makeup, François Nars for NARS
Hair, Guido Palau for Redken
MAKEUP: You could practically hear the crackle of excitement as the curtain lifted to reveal Jacobs's sprawling tableau vivant of models. With their crisp lines of sixties-inspired eye pencil, bold brows, and theatrical lashes, they looked like a cast of Bob Fosse showgirls on the brink of a star turn. "Marc showed me images of Amy Winehouse, Patsy Cline, and Sweet Charity," said makeup artist François Nars, who also turned to the photographer Sam Haskins's 1964 black-and-white narrative book, Cowboy Kate, for inspiration. "It was important to make the girls look like dancers, to treat them like characters, not models."
HAIR: Guido Palau's 1960s twists—all short, side-swept bangs and fuzzy, flyaway bits—were made to look as if the girls had been out "dancing all night." As a finishing touch, he slipped slim cloche headpieces (made of sweatshirt material) over the head, or knotted fabric headbands (in nylon organza, tinsel organza, lamé chiffon, and polyester gingham) at the crown in the style particular to the era.
SKIN: To create the smooth, dewy look of post–dance rehearsal skin, Nars smoothed the company's Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (out in spring 2012) over the face, but left the cheeks bare. "It's really like you are looking at a black-and-white film—there is no color," he said.
EYES: "The girls are meant to be staring into the eyes of the audience when the curtain opens," said Nars. For the requisite impact, he bulked up brows using black powder from the company's Pandora Duo Eyeshadow, and then traced the lash-lines with Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Via Veneto, before gluing on three strips of false lashes to each eye.
LIPS: NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Madere—the perfect "couture" beige—topped with Striptease Lip Gloss in Striptease for a hint of shine.
HAIR: Palau blew the hair out with Redken 02 Satinwear Ultimate Blow-Dry Lotion, then rough-dried the hair with his fingers for more texture. To nod at the decade, he added in short, irregular pre-cut bang extensions—and in some cases, even sideburns—before pinning the hair into a French twist and misting it with Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Finishing Spray.

In context: Rick Scott's comments on Republicans and jobs
By Katie Sanders
Published on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 at 10:25 a.m.
Everyone should be a Republican, Gov. Rick Scott told a group of GOP faithful in the Democratic stronghold of Broward County on May 20.
Scott's speech focused on familiar subjects of job creation under his reign, the disappointment of losing the 2012 election, and the importance of his 2014 re-election efforts for the state and country, according to reports.
One excerpt did not go over well with Florida Democrats.
"If you need anything from the government, any government, you should absolutely be a Republican because it won't be there if it wasn't for people that had jobs and build businesses. So you absolutely ought to be a Republican," Scott said.
The comment reminded Democrats of another multimillionaire former chief executive, 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who was secretly filmed at a Boca Raton dinner talking about the "47 percent." Romney said the 47 percent of the country that do not pay income taxes will vote for President Barack Obama because they depend on government assistance.
Seizing on Scott's dinner remarks, the Florida Democratic Party tweeted: "ICYMI: @FLGovScott echoes Romney's outrageous 47% comments, says R's are the only ones w/jobs."
So are Scott's comments similar to Romney's?
A Republican strategist thought we should fact-check the Democrats' statement, believing they erred in saying Scott said only Republicans have jobs. Others however, thought the Democrats had a fair take.
We found Scott's wording unclear.
So rather than put this claim on the Truth-O-Meter, we decided to show you Scott's comments in context, so you can draw your own conclusion. (A special thanks to George Bennett of the Palm Beach Post for providing us with the audio.)
First, for a refresher, here are Romney's comments from the dinner about the "47 percent."
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax."
Now here's what Scott had to say this week.
"We didn't win the presidential race last November. That was a big loss for us, big loss for our families, big loss for the country.
"Here's the way I think about it. I have not met one Floridian that should be anything but a Republican.
"Stop and think about it for a second. Let's say you want to build a business. Should you be a Republican? That's an easy answer, absolutely!
"How many people have you met that don't want a job? People want jobs. They better work for a business. So if they work for a business, they better be Republicans because Republicans build businesses to create jobs.
"Next, let's say you came here from another country. Why did you come here? You believed in the dream of America, the dream that you can come from any walk of life, that you can do anything you want in this country. You clearly need to be a Republican.
"Let's say that you need a safety net. Let's say you need unemployment insurance or you need something to take care of you while times are hard before you get back on your feet, whether that's health care, whether that's unemployment insurance, whatever it is. Who pays for it? People that have jobs.
"So if you need anything from the government, any government, you should absolutely be a Republican because it won't be there if it wasn't for people that had jobs and build businesses. So you absolutely ought to be a Republican."

Rarely do I post news of other team's signings, but this news has relevance for the discussion we've been having since the BIG TRADE last week. The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed Martin Prado to a four-year $40 million contract.
Yesterday I wrote about how it seemed cheap that the Atlanta Braves didn't want to pay Prado what he was reasonably worth. MLB Braves writer Mark Bowman had written in his column that the Braves had gained a sense that Prado was seeking more than the Braves were willing to offer. He had mentioned the number of $12 million a year.
Prado will average $10 million over the course of his new deal with the D-Backs. He will actually end up getting $7 million this year and $11 million each of the next three years. I asked Bowman to clarify that this number was still more than the Braves were willing to pay, and he indicated that indeed they did not want to go above $7 million this year, and therefore did not want to pay him $11 million each of the next three years.
This is kind of good news slash bad news for the Braves. It's bad news that this seems like an affordable deal, one that the Braves could have afforded -- though I'm not sore about the outcome of the trade -- but the Braves could have signed him if they really wanted to. Which leads me to the good news: this reluctance to commit to Prado might indicate that the Braves are preparing to commit money to the other young homegrown players on the team.
I'm happy for Marteeen. He deserves this deal, and I hope he does well in Arizona. Now I'd like to see the Braves sign some guys to long-term deals... JHey, Free, Kimmy...

Massachusetts residents could soon be forced to pay more to renew a driver's license or do other business at the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
State officials will seek to raise registry fees by ten percent on July 1. It's all in an effort to fill a $53 million gap in the State Department of Transportation's operating budget.
Registry fees incurred most often by customers have not increased since 2008, according to the department's chief financial officer.
The registry brings in about $550 million every year. If that grew by 10 percent the department could close the budget gap.

The San Francisco Giants' postseason comeback story ended with a fairytale finish in the Fall Classic.
Visitors to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum can now re-live that magical ride through the museum's Autumn Glory exhibit, the annual tribute to the World Series Champions in Cooperstown.
Following the Giants' World Series-clinching win on Oct. 28, the museum acquired several artifacts from the Giants, who notched the franchise's seventh Fall Classic title with their victory over the Detroit Tigers. Artifacts donated by the Giants and featured in the exhibit celebrating the 108th World Series include:
* The bat used by Pablo Sandoval to hit the first two of his three home runs in Game 1, tying a World Series record held by Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols.
* The jersey worn by Ryan Vogelsong, who tossed 5 2/3rd shutout innings en route to a Game 3 victory.
* The warm-up jacket worn by manager Bruce Bochy throughout the World Series.
* The fielder's glove used by Gregor Blanco throughout the 2012 regular season and postseason.
* A bat used during the World Series by Hunter Pence.
* Spikes worn by Marco Scutaro throughout the postseason.
* Cap worn by Brandon Crawford during the postseason.
* Spikes worn by Matt Cain during the World Series.
The 2012 World Series exhibit in Autumn Glory will be on display through the conclusion of the 2013 Major League Baseball postseason. Entrance to the Autumn Glory exhibit is included with museum admission.
In 2013, the museum will continue its salute to the Giants' World Championship of 2012 with special programming to be announced in the spring.
The museum collections contain many artifacts documenting the entire history of World Series and postseason play, including Don Larsen's cap and Yogi Berra's mitt from Larsen's 1956 perfect game; Bill Mazeroski's (1960) and Joe Carter's (1993) bats from their Series-ending blasts; the jersey David Freese wore when he hit his game-winning home run in Game 6 in 2011; and World Series rings from the last century of Fall Classic competition.

I'm quite new to Inventor and working with student version of inventor pro 2013. This is one of my first models and I keep hitting a wall when trying to create a shell.. Can't seem to do it succesfully for this part. I'd need the wall thickness to be approx 6mm. I've tried anything between 1-10 mm but nothing seems to work and the errors seem to change all the time depending which thickness I'm using. Is that form too complex for the shell or am I just doing something plain wrong?
Edit: Also I'd like to remove one of the narrower side faces to see inside the box.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Apparently Shell function does not like fillets that much... Any way to create round edges if I want to use shell?
I noticed that your 1st sketch is not constrained.
You might want to read this document while I take a look at your part.
(shell works fine with fillets when created properly)
Is there a reason you are using G2 Fillets (that part doesn't look like something I would expect to require G2 fillets)
This one still has G2 fillets but in a slightly different order.
Shelled at 3mm (that seems a little thick to me for something like this.
I would expect something like 1 to 2 mm thickness.
Same size fillets (and G2) but notice no sharp point.
Imagine offsetting an arc towards the inside - how do you offset a zero radius arc?
To see inside the box you could do a Section View on the View tab or better yet,
looks to me like that would be at least two parts - use the Split Part command and turn off one of the resulting solid bodies.
Thanks for the link! I actually spotted that already when searching the forums but it's extremely informative pdf anyways and helped me greatly.
Are constraints required for all the functions to work properly? I've been trying to search some basic data about why to use constraints and if they are really needed but can only find loads of info about how to add constraints etc..
Is there big difference between the fillet types? I just used the ones I thought look nicer in this case..
Thanks for the image showing the problem! Need to focus more on the small details to find the errors =)
By the way this is meant to be one big product as the imagined manufacturing methdod is rotational moulding so can't really divide it to parts.

Constraints aren't actually needed at all (see AutoCAD), but they help in solving and especially in avoiding problems. Think of it like a math problem where you are expected to show how you got your solution rather than just the "solution". And out on the shop floor anyone making real parts has to set up datums (constraints) on the machines, so why shouldn't the designer do the same?
Use whatever fillets you want - but consider the cost of manufacture as well. Will the customer pay for the feature?
Knowing that it will be rotational molded we know more about the design intent. Check on your 6mm thickness idea.
Use section view on View tab to see inside
create a Split feature and then Delete or Suppress the feature when done (I like to drag the EOP above the Split.
Thanks for all the info! Now I don't need to bang a hole to wall next to me with my head... (:
That section view hint was great too, hadn't noticed it before!

Lubbock police detectives served three warrants at UMC on Sunday after police officer Timothy Varner was shot Saturday evening near a Salvation Army family services shelter on 17th Street and Avenue K.
Varner responded to a call at 7:45 p.m. about a suspicious man, 32-year-old Jeremy Moor, walking around the area with a firearm.
Investigators say when they arrived Moor was in a truck holding another man at gunpoint. Gunfire was exchanged, and both were shot multiple times.
EMS responded just before 8 p.m. The fire department and at least two EMS units were called.
The police mobile command unit was called to the scene while investigators began collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.
Salvation Army employee Justin Etherly said Moor was a former Salvation Army shelter resident, and shelter staff were the ones who called LPD.
"A former resident of the men's shelter was asked to leave today after breaking policy. Our policy in asking him to leave is to contact LPD in case he may need to be escorted - just for safety precautions. Upon doing that, we also informed LPD of a possible threat of a gun," Etherly said.
Varner and Moor were transported to UMC. Varner was shot at least once in the leg and in the shoulder but he is awake and speaking and continuing to recover.
Moor is now in the Lubbock County Detention Center after being charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of attempted capital murder.
Jeremy Moor was last arrested in August of 2012 for being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to the court documents, he pled guilty to the charges in March of 2013 and was given eight years probation as part of the plea deal.

The third installment in the Metal Gear Solid franchise is swathed in the Cold War, and it's up to Naked Snake (the "father" of Solid Snake) to keep the Soviet Union and the United States from all-out nuclear war.

This viral photo is notorious--notoriously Photoshopped that is. It combines the work of photographer Mike Hollingshead with a shot of the NY harbor.
It's amazing how the lights managed to stay on during an underground flood.
Is that a shark? Yes, it's also a fake. Not sure where this photo originated, but it always pops up when a storm hits New Jersey. It's fair to say this didn't happen during Hurricane Sandy.
While this photo is a testament to our living and fallen heroes, it was taken in September at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, not yesterday's hurricane.
Don't mind the Live Cam reference. The only thing live about this photo are the editing effects, thanks to the makers of the film, Day After Tomorrow.
This was submitted by a WGAL u local member. It has been seen in multiple places, so while it may have happened at one point, it probably didn't happen during Hurricane Sandy.
No need to panic, this photo actually captures a moment from Superflex's film, which is surprisingly titled, Flooded McDonald's. Not real life.
The u local member from Baltimore, who submitted this photo, said it best, "Just another shark cruising down the street".
Original photo taken for Wall Street Journal
The funniest one yet. Just indulge yourself for a few laughs.

text: We are new cruisers. I had been on a MSC years ago, and it was cheap and ok. My husband and I had been on the Royal Clipper and enjoyed the informality and small ship size. This cruise was a total change from our more active holidays, due to a back injury, so I did everything I could think of to cover the bases for hubbie. Celebrity did it all. We loved Blu, the steam room ,pool. The lectures were good, he was reading the day sheet avidly for the sea days! We had great private tours thru the roll call, and loved the schedule. Will Naples ever get some civic pride? The staff treated us fantastic. The martini bar fellows, the Blu crew ,Maggie, the sommelier , went out of their way. We went to Silk Harvest one night, it was good, but not great. Being newbies, we didn't look at the Blu menu, and wouldn't you know it that was the eve the beef short ribs were on it. We asked if it was coming around another night, and it wasn't. A few nights later we were told the short ribs were being made , specially for us! Wow! We were really impressed with the constant cleaning, and attention to details. My once dubious hubbie is a total convert, and is adamant that its going to be Celebrity all the way. Booked Infinity for Feb Antarctic.....!

AVB: Carroll's contribution is pleasing
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas said Panathinaikos gave his side a bit of a scare before Jermain Defoe's goal eventually sealed a 3-1 win at White Hart Lane and progress to the Europa League Round of 32.

"Jermain's a great player, we're getting to know each other," Adebayor told ITV's Ned Boulting.

MT. VERNON — Plans to close the east bound Union Pacific railroad crossing on Main Street was changed Wednesday by the railroad.
"The railroad asked to move the work up a day for the project," said Illinois Department of Transportation District 9 Railroad Technician David Barger. "They will now do the work on Monday and Tuesday for the east bound lanes at that crossing."
Barger said the west bound crossing on Broadway is now slated to be completed on Sept. 23 and 24.
Barger said the Union Pacific Railroad will replace the ties in the crossing and the crossing panels on the surface as well as place new asphalt.
The initial work on the surface was announced by IDOT on Sept. 4, for the east bound crossing only.
"They now want to do the west bound crossing a week later," Barger said.
According to IDOT, the closure will now start at 7 a.m. on Monday and continue through 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday for the east bound lanes. The closure for the west bound lanes on Broadway will be from 7 a.m. on Sept. 23 through 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 24.
Mt. Vernon Public Works Director Matt Fauss said there has also been a change to the detour for motorists.
"Vehicles on the east bound lanes will be directed to take Third Street to the west bound lanes," Fauss said. "One of the west bound lanes will be blocked for east bound traffic for a block to Second Street then back to Main Street. The process will be reversed when the railroad works on the Broadway crossing the next week."

We arrived at the port and the priority check-in for Platinum was very poor. We have traveled through the Galveston port as priority and was treated like a valued customer....not here. Then when we got to the entrance of the ship they were having trouble with 2 of the machines for pictures and it was a slow delayed process. Our cabin was an interior one and it was nice. Our cabin steward, Juan, was very nice. The only negative was that he was slow and our room was never ready before 10 pm each night. The room was kept very clean and he did take care of any needs that we had.
We did the anytime dining and had a window table every night and it was fantastic. Had a different server every night, but service was very good. Food was good and hot in the dining room.
Can't say enough about Guy's Burgers, it was totally the best ever!! Service was great and the food, wow, it was fabulous!! I want it on every ship!!
Burritos and tacos were good too. My husband had the breakfast burrito and loved it too!!
The buffet was bland....it served the same food at each station, what's up with that?? And then the back line, where the the burgers used to be never had anything. The buffet was always very crowded breakfast and lunch. The pizza was terrible, thin with nothing much on it.
The entertainment really left a lot to be desired. The dancers and singers were not very good and other than a juggler, they had nothing in the main theater! No calaypso band at the pool, instead there was a bad singer!!! Yuch!! The comedians in the punchliner were good!
One of the main annoying things was the cruise director coming on several times a day on the pa very very loud with advertising of the things for that day. Talk about not relaxing!!! The Serenity deck was nice, but they did not have it as a quiet zone, their were tons of loud people and kids roaming around. We have loved it on other ships, but not this one. The debarktation was very fast and good.
