Ideal Vacation rental
Review submitted: September 17, 2012 Date of arrival: March 17, 2012
The cottage suited us perfectly! The ocean right outside the door, easy access to conveniences in N. Palmetto Point, and not being too far from Governor's Harbour and great Caribbean beaches, made the location ideal, too. The list of amenities for a small home was impressive, but how well the home was appointed exceeded our expectations. We are already planning to return next year.

Wonderful Cottage
Review submitted: September 17, 2012 Date of arrival: April 14, 2012
We enjoyed our stay at the Pink Sand Cottage. It was a wonderful cottage with everything you could ever ask for; privacy and a beautiful beach view. The cottage is well stocked with snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, outdoor table and barbecue. It is also very clean. It is more like visiting someones home than it is like renting a place to stay. Ken and Adele are wonderful people who make you feel very welcomed. I have to say it was the most relaxing vacation I have ever taken.

Just wonderful and more
Review submitted: September 17, 2012 Date of arrival: May 19, 2012
I can't say enough about Pink Sands Cottage, it was everything we had hoped for and more which was great since Mother Nature decided not to provide nice weather for a planned snorkeling vacation. We certainly made the best of it and I must say we have never relaxed, read and napped so much. Sue, the housekeeper, called the night we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed and since the cottage is so well equipped, we had no issues. We were able to go to Lighthouse Beach and made stops on the way back before the cloudy/windy/rainy weather set in. We went for rides each afternoon and chatted with a lot of the locals at stops we made. This was our first Bahamas vacation and the cottage made it extra special. Awesome place that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Loved our stay
Review submitted: September 17, 2012 Date of arrival: July 27, 2012
We spent a week in beautiful Eleuthera and wish we would have stayed longer! The cottage was very well equipped, we had everything we needed. The cottage is perfect for a couple. We bought groceries at the local grocery store, visited the famous beaches, and snorkeled right outside of our cottage. You are right on the water. We enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the waves. We had a very romantic trip and even got engaged during our stay! We would not hesitate to come back! In fact, we are already planning to return to Eleuthera next year!

"Highly Recommended"

> Not only would we highly recommend The Pink Sand Cottage to anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful, romantic getaway; we took the time to read through all the guest books and with the exception of a couple of "bug" complaints, everyone who has ever stayed here agrees! This was not only the best vacation we've ever had; it was the best customer service we've ever gotten. The owners were very nice, quick to respond to emails and even rearranged schedules so that we could have our anniversary week! They gave us invaluable information on air travel, grocery shopping, car rental, restaurants, snorkeling, etc. The caretaker, Sue, was wonderful. She got the cottage ready for us early, and she came to our rescue on short notice. Finally, our security deposit was returned to us before we even got our suitcases unpacked! The cottage was very well appointed with great attention to detail. The photos of the cottage do not do it justice. It is what a beach house is supposed to look like; with shells and sea fans carefully arranged on top of the cabinets, tropical furniture, and beautiful coastal bedding atop a very comfortable pillow topped bed. From the bed, you will awaken to a wonderful view of the turquoise waters of your (mostly) private beach. We loved the backpack beach chairs and the beach umbrella. There are also coolers, floats and snorkeling equipment for your use. The beach, while a bit rocky right in front of the cottage,(bring water shoes) has a good entry point just to the left and a large stretch of gorgeous white sandy beach just around the bend to the right. We snorkeled every day, and the best snorkeling we found on the island was right out in front of the cottage. The pristine reef was beautiful with lots of coral, sea fans and colorful fishes. We even watched a pair of large sting rays feeding and playing on the sandy bottom. Wow! In closing, if you pick The Pink Sand Cottage you won't be disappointed, just please don't pick "Our Week". :~) God Bless!

Just spent seven wonderful days in paradise!! The Pink Sand Cottage has stunning beauty, unparalleled privacy, cleanliness and attentive and caring owners all rolled into one awesome place!! We took long walks along the beach to admire the beauty of the island and the snorkeling out front was really good with parrot fish, grouper, sergeant majors and a sea turtle among the residents. For an ocean, the water was remarkably calm which we both enjoyed. Be aware though, that paradise and privacy have its price and you will not find an array of dining and car rental choices in Eleuthera. However, we did very well with Naaman on the car rental and Tippy's restaurant featured great food and friendly service. Our best meals were actually spent right at the Pink Sand Cottage itself dining on the porch with an ocean view to die for!! The residents of the island are reserved but friendly and we felt safe at all times. It was great meeting Ken and adele. They are hard-working, hands-on owners who gave us seven of the best days we have ever experienced on this planet!! God willing, we will definitely return for an encore!!

"Two weeks of relaxation"
Review submitted: June 11, 2011 Date of arrival: April 2, 2011
We had a wonderful two weeks at Pink Sand cottage in North Palmetto Point. The cottage was just as it was described on the internet and, having been to a different cottage last year, we had a good idea of the cottage's location, based on our basic knowledge of the island. The cottage was right on the beach, with access just down a few steps. The beach was wonderful for walking, swimming, snorkeling, and beach-combing. Everything you could want was there, especially for those looking for a quiet, relaxing, make your own fun type of holiday. We loved discovering other beaches, having great meals at local restaurants, and just hanging out reading good books, cooking, and relishing in having absolutely no responsibilities. We would definitely return to this cottage!

"Tropical paradise"
Review submitted: June 11, 2011 Date of arrival: March 5, 2011
Wow !!! Sums it up!
After tooo many over-crowded, bland food, cheap liquor, fight to get a beach chair, All-Inclusive giant mega resorts... We said, "Where's the relaxing beach vacation??
We sought out a place that would be peaceful, secluded and somewhere to forget about the busy everyday life. This is it!!
Pink Sand Cottage is exactly what the website portrays. What you see, is what you get. The descriptions and pictures are what you will experience. The cottage is clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The linens were plentiful and the kitchen has every utensil you'll ever need. Scott particularly likes the green plastic bowl. :)
The landscaping around the cottage is a well manicured variety of tropical foliage, including a cozy shaded hammock and private sundeck. The porch is a great spot for morning coffee at sunrise as well as cocktails and amazing star gazing at night.
The beach is one of the best we've ever seen. Daily we walked miles and miles on beautiful pink sand watching the turquoise water and only encountering 2-3 people per day.
We met the owners, Ken & Adele, who are the most genuine people, they became instant friends. We've rented 20+ homes over the years and have never received the sincere care they express.
If you're looking for a private tropical paradise, this is it!!!

"Two Weeks of Splendor & Solitude"
Review submitted: June 11, 2011 Date of arrival: January 29, 2011
What a difference a week makes. Last week we were on the sunny beaches of Eleuthra and now it's back to work and the Colorado cold. The Pink Sand Cottage was the perfect romantic get away. The cottage was neat, clean, comfortable and most importantly right on the ocean. There is a TV with satellite available. I don't know why you would watch it, because the reason you're there is to get away from it all and have that special time being alone with your spouse. The grounds and gardens were kept immaculate. The sunrises were spectacular as you sit on the porch with you morning coffee. As other people have stated, the view of the ocean was not obstructed, however your privacy was totally kept intact. For those of you who do not like tan lines or just want to lounge around in the all natural with your loved one, the porch, sundeck and hammock are secluded away from the view of others, however your view of the ocean is still there. Every day we went for a walk on the beach and maybe met one or two other people. The same goes for the other beaches on the island. Do rent a car from Naaman Rolle, because there is a lot to see and there are some great bars and restaurants in the area. Ken & Adele are a great resource of information, so don't be afraid to ask them questions. All my e-mails were answered immediately and were very helpful. We met Ken & Adele while we were there and they are the nicest, friendliest and most helpful people you'd meet. Ken and adele thank you very much for allowing use to use the cottage so we could enjoy two weeks of sun, water, peace, quite and especially togetherness. We will definitely be back. PS: No tan lines here. :)

"Exceeded expectations of outer Bahamas"
Review submitted: June 11, 2011 Date of arrival: January 1, 2011
The two person only cottage is near the end of a dead end one lane sandy road after many other beach front properties so is relatively off the grid. off the grid. Shorter flight of sturdy wooden stairs than many other properties to empty soft pink sand beach. easy water entry (including kayak) to calm clear water and excellent snorkeling and kayaking (ocean going 2 person kayak provided by local vendor can go to outer reefs). Very intimate, nice porch and sundeck. Bring 99.98.11% Deet if you want to sit outside at sunset. No bathtub but has nice shower inside & outdoors too. TV refrigerator are very good. Outstanding stargazing. It is near Governors Harbor with groceries and restaurants. In the middle of the long island so trips to either end are a day trip. Comfortable and clean. The landlords are very responsive. Good value if you want to get away from it all. Especially in January!

"A beautiful paradise"
Review submitted: June 11, 2011 Date of arrival: December 11, 2010
Been home for a week and already wish to be back in paradise. The cottage was very clean & comfortable and a perfect location for getting away from it all. It is very private and not overlooked so clothes aren't necessary on the patio, sundeck or even swinging in the hammock!
We only saw 4 people all week on 'our' beach, so if you want to pretend to be like Robinson Crusoe this is the place. You can walk miles along the beach whilst looking for shells and even saw large fish swimming within 4ft of the surf and the full moon shining on the sea at night whilst sitting on the patio with a local rum, was a wonder to behold.
We ate in most nights barbecuing fish & steaks accompanied with the local fresh produce and fresh bread from the bakery in Govenors Harbour, yummy!
Recommend hiring a jeep as the roads can be a bit rough leading to some of the other beaches, use Naaman, a real gentleman, the jeep was a little beaten up but good fun and we were thankful for it.
If there is a downside, it's the no-see-ums, take antihistamine and rub fresh lime juice on the bites, very small price to pay for being in heaven for 10 days.
Thanks Ken & Adele for the unforgetable experience, hope to be back in 2011.

Evan Longoria woke up feeling much better about Tampa Bay's chances of rebounding against the Boston Red Sox.
Not that it will be easy to overcome a 2-0 deficit in the best-of-5 AL division series matchup that resumes Monday night at Tropicana Field. But to have any chance of succeeding, the Rays star said players can't dwell on being on the brink of elimination yet again.
It took winning three consecutive elimination games just to get into the division series. And now, it will take three more to beat Red Sox and reach the league championship series against Oakland or Detroit.
"I don't think we let our guard down at all. I think we just got outplayed," Longoria, said after an optional team workout Sunday.
"They swung the bats better, they pitched better," the three-time All-Star, who turns 28 Monday, added. "At some point you've got to be able to admit that and turn the page and go to the next day."
Alex Cobb, who beat Cleveland last Wednesday in the AL wild-card game, will carry the Rays' hopes to the mound in Game 3. Right-hander Clay Buchholz will start for the Red Sox, who outscored Tampa Bay 19-6 in the opening two games at Fenway Park.
The Rays made uncharacteristic mistakes in the first two games, and their inability to hit in key situations undermined any chance of overcoming gaffes.
Longoria thinks that being back home after two weeks on the road will help. When the team plane landed in Tampa early Sunday, it concluded a five-city, 12-day, 5,631-mile trek.
The Rays won their regular season finale in Toronto, forcing a one-game tiebreaker at Texas to determine the second AL wild card. They beat the Rangers to reach the playoffs, then Cobb shut down the Indians 4-0 in the wild-card game.
"I like our chances here. We played really well down the stretch. I know our home fans will be out in full force, and I think our record speaks for itself. When we've had a full house, we've played pretty well," Longoria said.
The Rays were last in the major leagues in home attendance, averaging 18,645. Game 3 has been announced as a sellout, although tickets remain available for a possible Game 4 on Tuesday.
Related story: Rays return home in must-win mode
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said he doesn't plan any changes. To get back into the series, he feels the Rays have to play better offensively.
"We have just not scored runs on these guys," Maddon said. "We have not been able to get any kind of lead and hold on to leads, and that's generally what we do best."
Before leaving Fenway Park after Saturday's 7-4 loss in Game 2, the Rays skipper expressed confidence his team was capable of taking two games in St. Petersburg. Maddon reiterated that belief Sunday.
"Listen, we've been in these moments in the very recent past. We've always prided ourselves on one day at a time approach," he said.
"To carry negativity with you does absolutely no good whatsoever. You learn from your mistakes, no question, but move it along. I really expect us to be in the present tense tomorrow," he added. "And with that, we've shown in the recent past what we can do when we're able to file things and move it along."
Cobb went 11-3 with a 2.25 ERA this year in his first full season in the majors, including 7-0 with a 2.81 ERA in 13 starts at home.
Related: more about the Rays.
"He has good stuff, man," said Boston's David Ortiz, who homered twice off David Price on Saturday. "I watched him pitch the other day against Cleveland, and his stuff ... he was on. Tampa Bay has great pitching. You can never doubt them. You've got to come in, play well because they are just like we are. The minute you make a mistake, they hunt you down. Good teams, that's what it's all about."
There are plenty of reasons for the Red Sox to feel comfortable with their starting pitcher, too.
Buchholz has beaten Tampa Bay twice this season, allowing five hits in 13 scoreless innings. He has a career 2.41 ERA in 16 starts against the Rays, including 2.26 in nine starts at Tropicana Field.

Jade Lady Burning (Paperback)
This Book Is Not Sold Online - In Store Special Order Only
Special Order - Subject to Availability
Almost twenty years after the end of the Korean War, the U.S. Military is still present throughout South Korea, and tensions run high. Koreans look for any opportunity to hate the soldiers who drink at their bars and carouse with their women. When Pak Ok-Suk, a young Korean woman, is found brutally murdered in a torched apartment in the Itaewon red-light district of Seoul, it looks like it might be the work of her American soldier boyfriend. Sergeants George Sueño and Ernie Bascom, Military Police for the U.S. 8th Army, are assigned to the case, but they have nothing to go on other than a tenuous connection to an infamous prostitute. As repressed resentments erupt around them, the pair sets out on an increasingly dangerous quest to find evidence that will absolve their countryman.
About the Author
Martin Limón retired from military service after twenty years in the US Army, including ten years in Korea. He is the author of six previous books in the Sergeant George Sueño series: Jade Lady Burning, Slicky Boys, Buddha's Money, The Door to Bitterness, The Wandering Ghost, and GI Bones. He lives in Seattle.
Praise for Jade Lady Burning…
Praise for the Sergeant George Sueño series:
"Remarkable ... compassionately written, searing in its intensity."—The New York Times Book Review
"Superb."—Molly Ivins, Seattle Times
"[W]hat a great gift any of Limon's six mysteries starring Army Sgts. George Sueno and Ernie Bascom would make for those mystery lovers who haven't yet discovered them! ... Imbued with affecting characters, a morally knotty storyline, and a last chapter that just plain stuns."—Maureen Corrigan

Gun control - Dems have the NRA covered
by skeptic06, Mon Jul 02, 2007 at 12:48:04 PM EDT
I've had my mind on other things the last few days, so it was only today that Jerome's heads-up alerted me to the dark (but predictable) doings in the Senate Apps Committee.
There is nothing (that I can see) on the Committee site (which is not one of the better examples); but the today's NYT editorial he links says that 5 Dem members voted with the GOP for the Shelby Amendment, which strengthens the Tiahrt Amendment.
Feel free to yawn.
However - what the Tiahrt Amendment does is to prevent the ATF from using gun purchase info in all but the narrowest ways; the Shelby Amendment backs this prohibition with criminal sanctions.
(Try this 2006 CRS report for background.)
In fact Tiarht, as a rider to the Commerce apps bill (where ATF get their dough), has been around in varying forms since the FY03 bill (which was the omnibus H J Res 2 (108th)) - though (the CRS report says) Tiahrt only got in on the act with the FY04 bill, in the full committee markup.
The current version of the rider is, I assume, the one in the FY06 bill HR 2826 (109th). (I say that because FY07 was dealt with by continuing resolutions, which - more assumption - would have carried forward FY06 riders.)
One key element (at one stage, at least) was the effect of Tiahrt on civil litigation against gun manufacturers - apparently ATF traces have been important evidence in some of those cases.
Who were the guilty senators who voted for Shelby?
I can't be arsed to track down the NRA scorecards: the Brady Campaign version suggests likely suspects. (It's only updated to the 108th - but a subsequent change of heart is surely unlikely.)
The list of members has as low-scorers Leahy, Dorgan and (the lowest of the low!) the NE Nelson. (Bobby Byrd scores highly.)
On the side of the angels, the mayors (Brer Bloomberg not the least of them) are pushing for a rollback of Tiarht.
(Mikulski, as chairman of the Commerce apps subcommittee, was, according to this piece from June 25, going to ditch Tiarht in her chairman's mark of the bill.)
I get no sense that this issue exactly has the lefty sphere riled. Not like something really earth-shattering like - Ann Coulter getting bitchy...

NHS BSBV review of St Helier Hospital downgrade 'has no business case', say southwest London's Clinical Commissioning Groups
3:30pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Becky Middleton, Chief Reporter
A healthcare review recommending wide-scale cuts to St Helier hospital has no business case according to GPs groups involved in the consultation..
The Better Services Better Value (BSBV) review of NHS services across south west London, led by local doctors, nurses and health professionals.
In a statement issued today on behalf of the health professionals, it was admitted the business case for the review is no longer viable and the options previously put forward are no longer on the table for discussion.
The preferred option for altering healthcare provision in the region was the closure of accident and emergency and maternity services at St Helier Hospital, with patients being encouraged to attend neighbouring hospitals such as St George's Hospital in Tooting.
At the end of last year, Surrey Downs Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), one of seven involved in the consultation, pulled put of the process, forcing the BSBV bosses to review the process.
Sub-committees set up by the remaining CCGs have been dissolved.
A joint statement released by the six south west London CCGs - Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton and Wandsworth, said: "As we have made clear in the past, the BSBV business case is now invalid and the options put forward through the programme are no longer on the table for consultation.
"It follows that all six CCGs are in the process of dissolving the committees to which they had delegated decision-making on BSBV.
"However, the challenges outlined in the BSBV case for change remain.
"If we do not address these challenges, we know that local services will decline in quality and that we will not be able to meet the required quality and safety standards.
"We are discussing with each other and with our boards how we address these challenges and we hope to make a further announcement in February."

LOUISVILLE, KY., (WDRB) -- A Louisville woman has filed a federal lawsuit against the owners of local escort agencies, claiming she was forced to work as a prostitute earlier this year until she was able to escape.
The lawsuit, filed Dec. 24 in U.S. District Court, claims John Jeff Hull and Becky Hull, of the 17900 block of Bradbe Road, used "force, fraud or coercion" to keep the woman in a home in Fisherville, transporting her to "a number of places to engage in paid sexual acts with their clients."
In April, the Hulls were charged with human trafficking and two counts of promoting prostitution for allegedly forcing a woman to work as a prostitute. Their criminal cases are pending and the Hulls are scheduled to be back in court in February.
The woman, who is not being named by WDRB because she is an alleged victim of a sex crime, claims the Hulls threatened to call Child Protective Services and prevent her from obtaining visitation or custody of her child, limited her contact with the outside world, monitored her telephone calls, and lead her to believe she would be arrested if she left the home.
The lawsuit names the Hulls and their company, Jefbek Inc, which also is known as Aabana's Secrets, AAA Aabana's, Above All Escorts and Cheetah's Escorts.
On Feb. 4, after about a month of being held captive, the woman said that in order to escape, she cut her wrist so that emergency personnel would be called, according to the suit.
The lawsuit also alleges the Hulls conspired with other people who have not yet been identified.
The suit is seeking compensatory and punitive damages as well as a jury trial.
Claims made in the lawsuit present only one side of the case.
Attorneys for the Hull's did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment.
An attorney for the plaintiff also did not immediately return a message.
In April, police said they called Cheetah's, posing as clients, and asked for an escort. That escort was sent to the undercover officer's hotel room.
John Hull set up the "date" for the undercover officer with one of their escorts, according to police.

2013 - 2014 Season
Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate fifteen year old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at twenty-two, the president's mistress at twenty-four, First Lady at twenty-seven, and dead at thirty-three. Eva Peron, "saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy, and mistrusted by the military," was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique to the twentieth century. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop, and jazz influences—featuring Don't Cry for Me Argentina—Evita creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.

The San Diego Padres and Houston Astros don't get much attention these days.
There's good reason for this; the Astros have the worst record in the major leagues and the Padres are just a few games better. But Thursday night in San Diego, the Padres' Edinson Volquez made news by throwing his first major-league complete game and shutout, holding the Astros to just one hit, an infield single by Matt Downs.
Volquez could have had a no-hitter, too; that one hit was largely his own fault:
Volquez shut down the Astros except for the infield single by Matt Downs, who hit a comebacker to the left side of the mound. Third baseman Chase Headley and Volquez converged on the ball, but Volquez opted to attempt to snare the ball but dropped it. Volquez did not attempt to throw out Downs at first base.
"I've got to work on my backhand," Volquez said. "I was supposed to catch that ball. I've got fielding practice tomorrow, I've got to work on that. He hit it in the right spot."
If Volquez had made that play, he'd have thrown the first no-hitter in Padres history. Instead, it's the 25th one-hitter for the San Diego franchise. After the Mets' Johan Santana threw one earlier this season for the first one in that franchise's history, the Padres stand as the only team to not have one, 6,936 games since they began play in 1969. It'll happen, someday. Just ask the Mets.

This is the sixth in a series of position-by-position looks at the Patriots' personnel entering the 2011 offseason. Today, we analyze New England's DL situation.
Overview: With DE Ty Warren landing on injured reserve before the season even began, the shuffling along the Patriots' defensive line was fluid. Seven different players started at defensive end in 2010, including NT Vince Wilfork, who was strategically moved there for eight starts, clogging up the edges.
Two rookies, Brandon Deaderick and Kyle Love, saw significant time on the D-line, as did former UFL player Eric Moore. Injuries to Mike Wright and Myron Pryor opened the D-line revolving door.
The Patriots did have a solid run defense in 2010, and Wilfork had a Pro Bowl season. But not having Warren at the left end for an entire year forced the Pats to rotate more than they would have likely wanted to along the front four. Like 2009, the D-line struggled to win one-on-one battles and get after the quarterback. Wright had the most sacks out of the linemen, and he missed most of the latter half of the season.
But, like the other defensive positions, injuries allowed for rookies to gain valuable experience in 2010, and if the Patriots draft a defensive lineman early on, there should be some heated competitions for starting jobs for '11.
Here's a breakdown of each of the defensive linemen on the roster:
DE Ty Warren: Warren had been a consistent starter since 2004, but missed all of 2010 with a hip injury. He's a trusted veteran performer, although his sack numbers have gone down. Assuming he returns to form, he should regain his starting job in 2011.
DL Vince Wilfork: Asked to play nose and end, Wilfork had a stellar season, getting a well-deserved Pro Bowl berth. He finished 2010 with two sacks and eight tackles for loss and led all defensive linemen with 57 tackles. Wilfork played more snaps than usual, making up for the lack of depth on the unit, and was a big reason for the Patriots' run-stopping success.
DL Myron Pryor: Expected to help give Wilfork and Wright a spell, Pryor was rarely healthy, dealing with a back injury at the end of the season. He did start two games in the team's first eight contests, and should remain a top reserve next season.
DL Mike Wright: He was having a great season before suffering a concussion in Week 10 that knocked him out the rest of the year. Before he hit injured reserve, he led the team with 5½ sacks, all of them coming in the span of six games. Wright's abilities helped keep opposing offensive linemen from focusing on Wilfork, and his versatility is something Bill Belichick likes on the D-line.
DE Brandon Deaderick: The seventh-round rookie made a splash early on when given the opportunity, starting four games and recording two sacks. Deaderick has good size at 6-4, 305 pounds, but he was in the coaches' doghouse at the end of the season, getting suspended for reportedly being late to meetings. He returned for the playoffs and recorded four tackles. He should factor in next year's rotation.
DL Gerard Warren: The veteran got a one-year deal from the Pats and was a consistent presence, playing in all 16 games and recording 3½ sacks. He is set to be a free agent and has said he'd like to return to New England for another season.
DL Kyle Love: Love had to wait his turn, but made an impact in the Thanksgiving Day win against the Lions with two tackles and one pass defensed. The undrafted rookie rarely made a dent in the stats sheet, but provided a big body to attract linemen and help out Wilfork, seeing lots of snaps down the stretch.
DE Eric Moore: Moore was only active for the last four games of the regular season, but he started three of them and made an immediate impact as an edge rusher, recording two sacks. He has the speed to be a third-down defensive end.
DE Ron Brace: A second-round pick in 2009, Brace looked good early on, starting the first three games of the season. He dealt with injuries throughout the season, however, and missed the season finale and playoff game. He can clog up holes on the line with his 330-pound frame and showed enough ability to start when healthy.
DT Darryl Richard: He spent the season on injured reserve and did not play in 2009, his rookie season.
DL Landon Cohen: A late-season acquisition, Cohen played in the team's final two games and the playoff loss to the Jets. The journeyman will have to battle to make the team as a reserve who can play on the end or inside.
Bottom line: There are a lot of moving parts on the defensive line with talent at the top in the form of both Warrens, Wilfork and Wright. The young players — Deaderick, Love and Brace — also have good futures with the Patriots. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't target a pass-rushing defensive end in April's draft with one of their early-round picks.
The Pats' pass defense and third-down defense would benefit from having a defensive end who can consistently get after the QB. The biggest thing to watch with this unit is on the depth chart. Belichick likes to rotate his linemen often, and he has plenty of them. With a healthy Ty Warren and potentially a top draft pick, some of the younger players who got action in 2010 might be on the outside looking in.

Good and convenient location. Very nice room with ensuite. We had contact with Gabrielle prior to arriving, and met her father during our stay in the B&B - language was a bit limiting but he was extremely friendly and helpful. We didn't run into the other people staying there much, and we were out of the B&B during the days.

Virginia Railway Express (VRE) is not operating on Inauguration Day.
"VRE does not historically offer service on Inauguration Day," management said during their Jan. 2 online forum "Let's Talk".
VRE said it decided to offer service for the last Inauguration because the D.C. metropolitan area shut down most major access points for cars to the city, and crowds for the event were exceptionally large. It is different this time.
"As there are more options for people to get to D.C. that day, and less people are expected to attend, we feel we can revert to not offering service for the inauguration," management said.
January 21 is also the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday, a traditional no-service day for VRE.
Joe from Spotsylvania said in Let's Talk!: "Please find a way to start service on some of the minor federal holidays that not everyone observes (i.e. MLK day, Presidents Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day). Not everyone that rides the train is a Federal employee and not every company observes these holidays."
VRE said it is considering "some kind of service on the soft holidays." "[It] is on the table and hopefully we can get it accomplished," management said.
VRE hosts an online forum at noon on the first Wednesday of each month. Participants can submit questions in advance, participate live and review the transcript after the one-hour session.
Metro is preparing to be the transportation mode of choice for hundreds of thousands of visitors on Inauguration Day 2013, according to D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray.

As the first line of soft cases designed specifically for lighting products, Arriba has created bags for just about every piece of equipment a mobile entertainer could possibly own. Now the company has expanded its revolutionary lightweight case line and come out with a series of five soft bags for stage trussing.
The new AT Truss Series includes three different-sized cases for straight truss (designed to fit both square and triangular trussing), and two cases for holding union junction blocks.
Each bag features PVC plastic ridges on the bottom and ends to hold the trussing securely in place, while protecting the rugged fabric of the cases from any damage. The bags close with a durable zipper and feature sturdy carrying straps, along with a convenient zippered end pouch to store connection hardware so it's always at hand.
"Mobile entertainers told us they loved our line of soft cases for transporting their lighting equipment, but they still had to lug all their stage trussing around in heavy, hard cases that cost a fortune," says Brian Dowdle, marketing manager for Arriba Cases. "Now, they can use Arriba soft bags to carry their truss, too. Being so durable, yet lightweight and affordable, Arriba Truss Cases are a great way to protect truss when you're on the road."
Designed to fit truss from all major manufacturers, the AT Truss Series includes five models:
AT-100: case size 43" x 12" x 12"
Fits 1m square or triangular straight truss segments with a width and height of 11-7/16"
AT-150: case size 63" x 12" x 12"
Fits 1.5m square or triangular straight truss segments with a width and height of 11-7/16"
AT-200: case size 83.75" x 12" x 12"
Fits 2m square or triangular straight truss segments with a width and height of 11-7/16"
AT-UJB1: case size 12" 'x 12" x 12'
Fits one UJB truss block with width and height of 11-7/16
AT-UJB2: case size 24" 'x 12" x 12'

Filibuster deal won't solve the problem
(The Free Press -- Mankato, Minn.)
Senate leaders last week reached a tentative deal to limit the filibuster — a tool that has been abused to the point of creating permanent gridlock in Congress.
It's difficult to get very excited about the compromise reached between Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and his counterpart, Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, but it is at least a step toward meaningful reform.
The deal will only bar filibusters on motions to begin debating bills and only if members of each party are guaranteed the opportunity to offer at least two amendments. Some argue all the deal really does is speed up the process of breaking a filibuster with 60 votes. That could actually be counterproductive by legitimizing the idea that a 60-vote threshold is needed to pass any legislation in the Senate.
Many of those desiring real reform had hoped a deal would return filibustering to what it once was, when minority members who opposed a bill could take to the floor and talk for as long as they wanted in an attempt to bring attention to their grievances. (Now, one senator can anonymously halt legislation and no one has to take to the floor.)
Some reformers had hoped Reid would use the so-called "nuclear option" and override GOP opposition by changing the filibuster rule on a simple majority vote. But Reid, trying to respect the traditions of civility in the Senate, refused to take that drastic approach.
The filibuster was intended to give the minority a chance to weigh in on legislation without being ignored by the majority. It was never intended to require a super-majority vote on all legislation.
The way the filibuster has been abused — by both parties when they're in the minority — is detrimental to the country and further jades American voters about their government.

Warren Jay Nord, 86 years of life and very longtime resident of Clayton, passed away on Monday, Feb. 24, 2014.
Warren is the dear husband of Lorraine Marie Nord (married 44 years) and the loving father and father-in-law of Tracy Nord Hoffman and Cory and Ammy Nord. He enjoyed five grandchildren,: Jason Hoffman, Alex Hoffman, Maygen Nord, Colesen Nord, and Catherine Hoffman. His two nieces are Vicky (Alan) Pyles and Nancy (Brian) Berger. There are numerous cousins and other relatives.
Born in 1927 at Aberdeen, Brown County, S.D, Warren's family moved from Fairburn, S.D., to Clayton in 1938 where Warren attended the Clayton Grade School and Deer Park High School.
During his senior year in 1945, Warren joined the U.S. Marines serving during World WarII in the South Pacific and was on the general's staff in communications while stationed in Tientsim, China, Guam and El Toro Marine Air Corps Base in Southern California, until 1949.
Upon returning after WWII, Warren attended Spokane Community College studying automotive vehicle mechanics. He and Bob Smith co-owned "The Globe Garage" in Spokane until they lost the lease in June of 1977.
In 1978, Warren gained employment with the state of Washington Department of Transportation maintaining U.S. Highway 395 from Loon Lake to Deer Park, retiring in October of 1992.
Warren and Lorraine maintained their ranch at Clayton.
He was a volunteer fireman for the Clayton Fire Department for many years, was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Hillyard, the Clayton-Deer Park Historical Society, and a former member of the Clayton Grange.
In 2003, Warren participated in the Deer Park High School graduation exercise receiving his "Honorary High School Diploma." In November 2012, Warren and Cory were on the Northwest Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. to see the war memorials. It was great for Cory to be able to travel with his father and experience that great part of American history.
Warren's family suggests memorial contributions be made to I.N.W. Honor Flight, 608 West 2nd Ave., Ste 309, Spokane, WA 99201-4430, or Clayton-Deer Park Historical Society, c/o Bill Sebright, P.O. Box 293, Clayton, WA 99110-0293.
Funeral Services honoring Mr. Nord were. on Wednesday, March 5, 2014, in Spokane at the Sunset Chapel on the grounds of Fairmount Memorial Park with military honors by the U.S. Marine Honor Guard. Following the interment at Fairmount a potluck reception was held at the Clayton Grange starting at 4 p.m.
Lauer Funeral Home in Deer Park was in charge of arrangements

Gingerbread! Snickerdoodle! Sugar! Butterscotch! The possibilities are endless.
What is it about Christmas time and cookies? Don't get me wrong, cookies are great any time of the year, but during the holidays it's definitely a social obligation to consume as many as humanly possible. You're just working on your winter coat to keep warm right? Either way, if you don't like cookies, you probably deserve coal in your stocking.
Need to suck up to your boss? Bribe that professor for an A on the final? Just want to eat the stress away? There is an easy solution to these problems and that answer is, and always will be, cookies.
And the best part is, if you aren't a domestic housewife who wants to make the perfect homemade chocolate chip, pecan, oatmeal raisin cookies from heaven, don't even try.
That's what pre-made, pre-cut cookies are for. Just break 'em off (eat a few raw of course), stick them in the oven and boom! You are immediately the best neighbor/co-worker/friend ever.
Bottom line - whether it's decorating them, giving some away, or most likely, eating them, the holidays wouldn't be the same without these yummy treats.
So don't fret, here are some of the best (and easiest) cookie recipes to make this holiday season!
1. Classic Gingerbread Man cookies - Because who doesn't want to decorate little people and then completely demolish them?
2. Chocolate Rum Balls – Yes, please.
3. Cranberry-Orange cookies - Fruit = healthy. Cookies contain fruit. Therefore, cookies = healthy.
4. Chocolate Chip Peppermint cookies – Got milk?
5. Cinnamon Sugar cookies – Sugar, spice and everything nice…tasting.
Happy baking and remember, a balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

U.S. production of shale oil has captured the attention of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC.
In the 12-nation group's World Oil Outlook 2012, released Nov. 8, shale oil production contributes to a reduction in the demand forecast for OPEC oil.
"This year a rise in the importance of shale oil is expected," the outlook reads, noting that past World Oil Outlook reference cases have not factored in significant shale oil supply.
In 2011, world supply of all petroleum liquids — mostly crude oil, but also natural gas liquids and gas-to-liquids — was 87.5 million barrels per day, or mb/d.
By 2016, the outlook for oil demand reaches 93.1 mb/d — down more than 1 mb/d from last year's outlook.
Supply shifts significantly in this medium-term forecast, with OPEC expecting to supply 36.7 mb/d of liquids in 2012 and, by 2016, only 36.4 mb/d. Non-OPEC liquids supply grows over the same period from 53.1 mb/d to 56.6 mb/d.
"The key sources of supply driving this growth are rising levels of shale oil from the US, Canadian oil sands, and crude oil from the Caspian and Brazil," the outlook reads.
Long term, to 2035, demand grows to 107.5 mb/d, a downward revision of more than 2 mb/d from 2011's outlook.
OPEC liquids supply grows to 44.9 mb/d in 2035 while non-OPEC supply grows to 62.7 mb/d.
Demand in developed countries peaked around 2005 and declines throughout the forecast period.
Probable limitations to shale oil production are noted, including environmental concerns, labor and equipment constraints, rising costs and steep well declines.
Nevertheless, the outlook's authors note, shale oil supply already is over 1 million barrels per day, and the reference case sees it climbing to 2 mb/d by 2020 and 3 mb/d by 2035.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration sees U.S. tight oil production, which includes oil from shale, chalk and other formations, increasing to a peak in 2029, then decreasing.
OPEC member countries account for four-fifths of the world's proven crude oil reserves, according to the outlook.
With some variation through the period, OPEC crude oil retains about a one-third share of all liquids, down from about half of all liquids in 1973.

Several people in Albany got a chance to sample healthy meals and educate themselves on the effects of diabetes.
The Mayor's office partnered with the Dougherty County school system and phoebe Putney memorial hospital for "Chefs on the Lawn."
People sampled healthy meals from several vendors including Westover High school culinary students and receive free health screenings.
Mayor Dorothy Hubbard says education is key to living a healthy life.
"Educating them to know about nutrition, empowering them to do more, to get more preventative kinds of check-ups and those kind of things, and then to motivate them to get up and move and do more exercise."
This is the third year the mayor's office put on this event.

"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."

This is thrash metal at it's best. Kreator puts on a great show. Dvd extras are great also. This is one of my favorite metal dvd's I own. Kreator rules!
Biography - Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
A classic blast from the glorious past! German thrash metal legends Kreator offer up the rare 'At The Pulse Of Kapitulation – Live in East Berlin 1990' for the very first time on DVD. Upgraded to a 5.1 mix via producer Andy Sneap and loaded with bonus footage, this is truly a dream come true for Kreator fans. In the words of band leader Mille Petrozza: "Words don t do justice to the energy that was in the air that day in East Berlin, and the whole event can only be described as utterly unique and historic."

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This DVD is great. It has great sound and despite certain lack of ability of the director to edit it is worth the bucks invested.
It shows a great gig after the Berlin wall end. There are great songs from the best era of Kreator (I would have appreciated if they had played "pestilence")in dolby 5.1 or stereo.
There is an interesting documentary which shows the reality of the bangers at the other side of the wall.
The only defect come when it starts to say that Kreator is almost the cat's whiskas… and the horror movie where they try to match the videos with those videos that have nothing to do.
The Good
To tide fans over while the German thrash legends take a long deserved break, Kreator reaches into the vaults to re-vamp an earlier VHS release. What makes this performance so memorable is that it took place just after the Berlin Wall came down. East and West Germany were finally able to become one. Kreator may draw from early albums for this fifteen song set, but with the 5.1 mix, they sound more vibrant than ever. "Extreme Aggression" [sample] is in your face with its driving riffs and blood curling vocals. Not to mention the bludgeoning drum work. "Pleasure to Kill" gives false hope for something mellow with it's orchestral beginning that gives way to pure fury. I don't really need to go much into the music that much because the intensity speaks for itself, right to the very last song "Tormentor." There are no sissy ballads here.
As far as the show presentation goes, you're not getting a DVD show from today with multiple camera angles and a crystal clear picture. It's 1990 for God's sake. The picture is a little grainy and the shots are a little further away, but the final output is exceptional for the time. There's not much going on stage except some average lighting and energetic heavy metal. Kreator must have been hurting after putting on such a draining set.
Also on the DVD is the long form video, or "Kreator Horror Movie," Hallucinative Comas – Director's Cut. It's pretty much an inter-weaving of song performances with a little movie plot built around the lyrics. It has been released prior, but this time around there is added footage, deleted footage, and a few more extras. One of the highlights of this DVD release is a documentary that features interviews with the audience about Berlin in 1990 and Berlin today.
For those fans that want to take this killer show with them, Kreator includes a bonus CD with every song from the live show.
The Bad
I'm sure the drum solo could have been edited out and no one would have noticed.
The Verdict
Kreator has always been one of those bands I've heard of but never experienced. I can now say that they are one of those bands I MUST hear more of. Kreator has all the intensity of early Metallica, the political fury of Megadeth, and the dark ominous feel of Venom. With this 1990 performance, they unleash the very best of all they encompass.
At first, it seems like this release is another way to prolong the time between the release of 2005's Enemy Of God (which was then reissued as Enemy Of God Revisited) and now. But picking up this dvd/cd set, you know why Kreator had to do it. The concert filmed back in 1990 (orignally on VHS, now for the first time on dvd and cd) was one of the first since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it's no coincidence that the mood is captured perfectly. German metalheads celebrated seeing one of their favorite bands like it was Christmas, and the energy of the music and lyrics captured the feeling of freedom that was endured. Enough rambling. The concert is excellent. The audio was remixed by legendary metal producer Andy Sneap (also worked on Live Kreation, Violent Revolution, and Enemy Of God) who captures the old vibe of the performance using todays recording technology to make it sound almost like the old is new again. My only complaint is that there's no songs from Coma Of Souls, but since it was recorded before the album, I can't fault it. Extras include the short documentary The Past And Now which chronicles the fall of the Berlin Wall and the effect of it to today, and that fateful performance in East Berlin, as well as the band's popularity to this day. Also included for the first time on dvd is Hallucinative Comas: the short, artful horror piece that was inspired by the Coma Of Souls album, now a director's cut which is complete without the interview footage that was said to have disrupted the flow of the orignal.
So, if you're a fan, chances are you've probably been looking for Live In East Berlin when it was on VHS. First time fans should also check out Live Kreation, and Enemy Of God Revisited.
First of all Andy Sneap is the BEST audio engineer! I mean, who can take an 18 year old recording and make it sound like this. My two favorite bands are Kreator and Nevermore and I am lucky he works with both bands, his talent for mixing and producing makes recordings timeless.
Now for this video.. I remember seeing the Extreme Agression tour in Cincinnati (Coroner was the opener). It was so cool how this video captured the power of Kreator, they are just unreal live and this video does not dissapoint. You can imagine how cool it was for the fans of East Germany with the wall just coming down, most seeing Kreator for the first time. It is a must have!
I understand how the other reviewer felt as to the video not having anything from Coma on it, but there were so many great songs dropped from Kreator's set during that tour, it just proves that they have such a huge catalog of great songs.
Now that King has a bad back and Kreator will not be back in the US for a while this will have to hold me over until a Jan 09 when they are looking to possibly putting out a new album. Oh, and when Mille say's that they are working on new songs and they are BRUTAL, you can take that to heart, it's not like Larz saying the new Metallica album is going to sound like Puppets haha..
KREATOR rules and I look forward to seeing them in the states.

As an cultural anthropologist, my aim is to point up an ethnographic thick description of some very unique cultural characteristics and heritages of Tibet with photographs speaking for themself.
The photographs for this book are taken on my journeys into Tibet in 2005 and 2007, when I lived in Nepal for several years.
This book is a draft of a bigger edition (still in progress), very clear in layout without any embellishments, categorized in three chapters (more, like the last page of this book, 'Transition', which describes the present modern Tibet, can be found in the final edition):
Landscape images (on black background) showing the beauty and at the same time the hardness of living 'in a dessert on top of the world'.
The second chapter 'Rites & Rituals' (red background) pictures the 'Saga Dawa'-festival, one of the most important ones for Tibetan Buddhists, the 'violent debating' monks of Sera and some day-to-day religious actions.
The third section (blue background) depicts exceptional details of Tibetan architecture, beside the ordinary mainly the divine one.
This book is based on my exhibition at 'Art Heritage Gallery', New Delhi, India in February/March 2009, where 58 of the 265 photographs of this book had been displayed first.
I want to thank the curator, Mr. Ebrahim Alkazi and his excellent team for their capability and great support.
Format: Large landscape (13x11" 33x28cm), 200 pages
I'm looking for a publisher - if interested please contact me
