Well, that's one way to follow up a three-and-out, South Carolina defensive coaches Kirk Botkin and Deke Adams!
Asked about the blowup after the game, head coach Steve Spurrier said, "Well, at least they care." He chalked it up to each position coach wanting the other's players to improve, and said the staff would work to fix the issue.
This is probably Jadeveon Clowney's fault, right everyone?

Constructive rest is one of the best relaxation techniques you can know. In constructive rest, we take the body into a completely neutral position where there can be a deep release of tension held in the body/mind system. When that happens, a kind of re-set can happen that takes us into a place of being centered, present, and available to the potential of the moment.
Consider what Liz Koch, an expert on the psoas muscle, says about constructive rest in my interview with her, Does the Psoas Speak Pilates?: "It's a being (not doing) position. Before you exercise or at the end of the day, constructive rest changes the whole expression of the central nervous system, of which the psoas is expressive. It is a messenger of the central nervous system - a bridge between upper and lower body, between the enteric brain and the gut brain, and expresses the messaging between sympathetic and parasympathetic. There's a lot going on in constructive rest, but you're not doing it. You just allow it to happen.

this section, you'll learn how to work with Windows 7's existing file
types. I'll show you how to change the file type description, modify
the file type's actions, associate an extension with another file type,
and disassociate a file type and an extension. Note that earlier
versions of Windows had a decent front-end for these types of hacks:
the File Types tab in the Folder Options dialog box. Alas, that tab is
nowhere in sight in Windows 7, so you must use the Registry directly
for some of what follows.
file types have a default action that Windows 7 runs when you
double-click a document of that file type. You can see the default
action by right-clicking a document and examining the shortcut menu for
the command that appears in bold type. You can edit the Registry to
change the default action for a file type. Why would you want to do
this? Here are some examples:
For HTML documents (.htm or .html extension), the default action is Open, which opens the document in Internet Explorer. If you hand-code HTML pages, you might prefer the default action to be Edit so that you can quickly load the documents in your text editor.
For images, the default action is Preview,
which opens images in the Photo Gallery Viewer. Again, if you work with
images frequently (creating them, cropping them, converting them, and
so on), you might prefer that Edit be the default action.
For Windows Scripting Host file types, such as VBScript Script File (.vbs extension) and JScript Script File (.js extension), the default action is Open,
which runs the script. However, these scripts can contain malicious
code, so you can boost the security of your system by changing the
default action for these file types to Edit.
To change the default action for a file type, follow these steps:
Figure 1 shows the VBSFile file type (VBScript Script File) with the Shell branch's Default setting changed to Edit.
you want to open a folder window in the two-paned Explorer view, you
have to right-click the folder and then click Explore. To make the
latter the default action for a folder, edit the Folder file type,
select Explore in the Actions list, and then click Set Default.
not stuck with just the actions that Windows 7 has defined for a file
type. You can add as many new actions that you can think of. For
example, if you work with HTML documents, you could keep the default Edit
action as it is (this opens the file for editing in Notepad) and create
a new action—called, for example, Open in HTML Editor—that opens the
file in an HTML editor that you have installed. When you right-click an
HTML file, the menu that appears will show both commands: Edit (for
Notepad) and Open in HTML Editor (for the other editor; note that, for
simplicity's sake, I'm assuming here that when you installed the HTML
editor, it didn't modify the Edit action to point to itself).
To create a new action for an existing file type, follow these steps:
If the pathname of the executable file contains a space, be sure to enclose the path in quotation marks, like so:
"C:\Program Files\My Program\program.exe"
If you'll be using documents that have spaces in their filenames, add the %1 parameter after the pathname:
"C:\Program Files\My Program\program.exe" "%1"
If you're adding a Print action, be sure to include the /p switch after the application's pathname, like this:
"C:\Program Files\My Program\program.exe" /p
can define an accelerator key for the new action. Click the branch that
holds the action name, and then double-click the Default
value. In the Edit String dialog box, type the action name and precede
a letter with an ampersand (&). That letter will be the menu
accelerator key. For example, entering Open in &HTML Editor
defines H as the accelerator key. When you right-click a file of this
type, you can then press H to select the command in the shortcut menu.
you're working in Windows Explorer, you might occasionally find that
you need to do some work at the Command Prompt. For example, the
current folder might contain multiple files that need to be renamed—a
task that's most easily done within a command-line session. Selecting
Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt starts the session in
the %UserProfile% folder, so you have to use one or more CD commands to get to the folder you want to work in.
easier way would be to create a new action for the Folder file type
that launches the Command Prompt and automatically displays the current
Windows Explorer folder. To do this, follow these steps:
cmd.exe /k cd "%L"
The cmd.exe file is the Command Prompt executable file. The /k switch tells Windows 7 to keep the Command Prompt window open after the CD (change directory) command completes. The %L placeholder represents the full pathname of the current folder.
In Figure 3, I right-clicked a folder, and you can see that the new action appears in the shortcut menu.
A shortcut is a file that points to another object: a document, folder, drive, printer, and so on. Shortcuts use the .lnk
extension, which is associated with the lnkfile file type. Strangely,
if you turn on file extensions, you still never see the .lnk
extension when you view a shortcut file. Presumably, Windows 7 hides
the extension because we're not supposed to think of the shortcut as an
actual file, just a pointer to a file. That's fine with me, but how
does Windows 7 accomplish the trick of always hiding a shortcut's file
The secret is that the Registry's lnkfile (shortcut) key has an empty string setting named NeverShowExt. When Windows 7 comes across this setting, it always hides the file type's extension.
might want to duplicate this effect for another file type. If you have
multiple users on your computer, for example, you might want to turn on
file extensions, but hide the extensions of an important file type to
ensure that users can't change it. Follow these steps to always hide a
file type's extension:
are many reasons you might want to override Windows 7's default
associations and use a different program to open an extension. For
example, you might prefer to open text files in WordPad instead of
Notepad. Similarly, you might want to open HTML files in Notepad or
some other text editor rather than Internet Explorer.
those cases, you need to associate the extension with the application
you want to use instead of the Windows default association. In Windows
7, you use the Open With dialog box to change the associated
application, and Windows 7 gives you many different ways to display
this dialog box:
With this method, right-click any file that uses the extension and then
click Open With. If the file type already has multiple programs
associated with it, you'll see a menu of those programs. In this case,
click the Choose Default Program command from the menu that appears.
Task pane—
When you click a file, Windows Explorer's task pane displays a button
that represents the default action for the file type. For example, if
you click an image, a Preview button appears in the task pane; if you
click an audio file, you see a Play button in the task pane. In most
cases, this default action button also doubles as a drop-down list.
Display the list and click Choose Default Program.
Set associations—
Select Start, Default Programs, Associate a File Type or Protocol with
a Program. This opens the Set Associations window, shown in Figure 4, which displays a list of file extensions. Click the file type you want to work with and then click Change Program.
No matter which method you use, you end up in the Open With dialog box, shown in Figure 5. From here, you follow these steps:
if you want only a single file to open with a different application?
For example, you might want to always edit a particular HTML file in
Notepad, but still open all other HTML files with Internet Explorer.
Windows 7 automatically associates just that file with the different
application, so whether you open the file via the jump list or by
double-clicking it, it will always default to the new application.
applications can work with multiple file types. For example, Media
Player can play more than 30 file types, including Windows Media Audio (.wma), MP3 (.mp3), CD Audio Track (.cda), and AVI (.avi). Windows 7 has a Set Default Programs window that enables you to specify which file types are associated with a particular application. Here's how to use it:
you want to associate with the program all the file types that the
program is capable of handling, click the Set This Program as Default
you want to associate with the program only some of the file types that
is can handle, click Choose Defaults for This Program to display the
Set Program Associations window. Activate the check box for each file
type you want to associate with the program, and then click Save.

The Obama/Holder DOJ's Identity Problem
Is there, or should there ever be, a point when a state is no longer penalized for its discriminatory past?
Not according to the Department of Justice, which last Friday rejected a South Carolina law that would have required voters show a valid photo ID before casting their ballots.
Justice says the law discriminates against minorities. The Obama administration said, "South Carolina's law didn't meet the burden under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlawed discriminatory practices preventing blacks from voting." Why South Carolina? Because, the Justice Department contends, it's tasked with approving voting changes in states that have failed in the past to protect the rights of blacks.
Are they serious?
There are two African Americans representing South Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives, One is Tim Scott, a freshman Republican. The other is 10-term Rep. James Clyburn, the current assistant Democratic leader. There are numerous minority members of the S.C. state legislature and Governor Nikki Haley who is Indian-American.
This is not your grandfather's South Carolina. This is not the South Carolina of the then-segregationist and Dixiecrat presidential candidate Strom Thurmond. Yesterday's South Carolina had segregated schools, lunch counters, restrooms and buses and a dominant Democratic Party. Today's South Carolina is a modern, integrated, forward-looking, dual-party state.
If Justice thinks proving who one is by showing valid photo ID discriminates against minorities, how does it explain the election of so many minority legislators? Are only whites voting for them?
Democrats, especially, should be sensitive to states and people who have demonstrated that they have changed. It was the Democratic Party of the late 19th century that resisted integration throughout the South, passing Jim Crow laws that frustrated blacks who wanted to vote. Those were Southern Democrats who stood in schoolhouse doors, barring blacks from entering. Today, many members of that same party refuse to allow poor minority students to leave failing government schools as part of the school voucher system because they, apparently, value political contributions from teachers unions more than they value educational achievement.
The South Carolina law that offends the Justice Department anticipated objections that some poor minorities might not have driver's licenses (and certainly not a passport) because they might not own cars. So the state will provide free voter ID cards with a picture of the voter on it. All someone has to do is prove who they claim to be. A birth certificate will do nicely. A utility bill can be used to prove residency.
Not requiring a voter to prove his or her citizenship and residence is a recipe for voter fraud. Democrats like to accuse Republicans of trying to keep minorities from voting because they know most will vote for Democrats. Even if that were true (and it's debatable) the reverse is probably truer. Some Democrats have allegedly encouraged people to vote who were not eligible, some more than once. Without a valid ID, how can we stop this?
The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law has compiled a list of new voter identification laws passed this year. In addition to the one in South Carolina, all require some form of photo identification. Will Justice go after all of them, as well?
According to the Brennan Center, a new law in Kansas, effective Jan. 1, 2012, requires a photo ID, with certain exceptions such as a physical disability that makes it impossible for the person to travel to a government office to acquire one, though they must have "qualified for permanent advance voting status..."
A new Texas law, which took effect on September 1, requires a photo ID in order to vote, or another form of personal ID card issued by the Department of Public Safety.
Even historically liberal Wisconsin passed a new law this year requiring voters to prove who they are, in most cases with a photo ID.
Governor Haley and South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson vow to fight the Justice Department ruling. They should. Photo IDs are required when flying on commercial aircraft or cashing a check. That discriminates against no one. Neither does requiring people to prove who they are before voting, unless, of course, there's another agenda, like "stuffing" the ballot box.

AG Holder has the identity problem; voter ID laws, are populist.
Submitted by Gary Hall on Wed, 12/28/2011 - 7:45pm.
The R's need to listen up here - they own the popular view.
Allow me to reference an analysis by John Fund, a few years back, regarding the recommendations of the Carter-Baker Election Reform Commission, "WSJ - Jimmy Carter is Right" (my bold):
The Carter-Baker commission issued 87 recommendations to improve the functioning of election systems.[..]
[One] was that 18 of 21 commissioners backed a requirement that voters show some form of photo identification. They argued that with Congress passing the Real ID Act to standardize security protections for drivers' licenses in all 50 states, the time had come to standardize voter ID requirements.
Yes - even former President Jimmy Carter supported it.
Are they going to call him a racist? Is Eric Holder going to go after former President Jimmy Carter?
Note: National polling has long illustrated that such has super majority support amongst voters. Let's call it a popular, or better yet, a populist view.
Yet, how'd the left react to this super majority view (18 of 21 commissioners on a bipartisan panel)?
Former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle joined two other commissioners in complaining that the ID requirements would be akin to a Jim Crow-era "poll tax" and would restrict voting among the poor or elderly who might lack such an ID.
Mr. Daschle's racially charged analogy is preposterous. Almost everyone needs photo ID in today's modern world. Andrew Young, the former Atlanta mayor and U.N. ambassador, believes that in an era when people have to show ID to rent a video or cash a check, "requiring ID can help poor people" who otherwise might be even more marginalized by not having one.
Don't expect to see anyone in the national MSM bring in a Jimmy Carter, or Andrew Young, and allow them to present their views.
They're still using this lame shrill and dishonest method of pushing their liberal - minority - view.
Are we going to let the radical left win this again, by allowing them to paint the super majority of Americans as an intolerant and/or racist small bunch of outcasts, or, are we going to stand up and till the loud, but small bunch of leftists that they are wildly outnumbered and to shut-up?
Photo ID laws are both populist and supported by powerful voices on the left - and the right. We should be able to form the major bi-partisan consensus required to shut the small radical minority of out-of-touch partisan loud mouth kooks that AG Eric Holder and this White House are associated with.

I live in Canada... we have 3 options when voting Provincially or Federally... 1 piece of authorized photo ID... or 2 pieces of authorized ID... or 1 person that has authorized ID that can vouch for you... and yes... you must be a Canadian citizen 18 years of age or older... it's "F" ing crazy here...
@Gary... good work...
I could agree with Oblamer & Co. if only non-Caucasians were required to present photo ID... but that's one of their political strategies... racism. "Blame everyone else" is another political strategy... am I missing any other strategies? Oh silly me... I forgot... lie, lie, lie, lie and lie some more...

Keeping them down on the plantation
Submitted by DontFeedTheTrolls on Thu, 12/29/2011 - 6:30am.
Once again, the left is telling us that American blacks are too stupid to be able to figure out how to get a photo ID, and the American blacks (including Obama and Holder) are buying it. I suppose American blacks will never be able to:
- Get a passport
- Open a bank account
- Enroll in college
- Apply for welfare, food stamps, or unemployment
- Buy booze or cigarettes
- Drive a car
- Etc., etc., etc.

Children perform service outside arson-hit Westcliff church
6:30pm Monday 17th March 2014 in News By Ian Weinfass, Senior reporter
YOUNG members of a church which was burnt down last week performed a healing service outside it on Saturday.
Children who belong to the Pathfinders Club connected to the Seventh Day Adventist Church performed a drumming session outside the Northview Drive centre.
The church was subjected to an arson attack in the early hours of last Monday morning with the back section being so badly damaged the congregation has had to move to a new temporary home.
Their drums were stored in the church on the night of the fire, but were left untouched by the blaze.
The drumming was followed by a song and a prayer. Young worshippers also put their thoughts and feelings on paper to be displayed on the boards and windows.
The church's youth leader, Christopher Khuoge, said: "Our children have expressed shock at the incident and that is why this part concentrates on the children and young people."
Anyone with information about the fire can call DC Mike Buckingham at Southend Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Pastor Greg is a great communicator of the truths in scripture with his unique personality coming through the message. Michelle has a tender heart towards those that are hurting physically along with a powerful anointing for healing the sick. Since they have been pastoring Father's House Church, the church has grown in numbers and maturity. It is their desire to see people who have been beaten down by religion, been hurt in relationships find a place of healing and comfort at Father's House Church. Creating a church environment where we could care less about your dress and background and status, but CARE MORE about you becoming all that God has planned for you to become – this we care about.
Pastor Greg & Michelle are both graduates of RHEMA Bible Training Center. Pastor Greg has a varied background in military service, medic training, along with television producing and music background. He is an avid reader and loves to study the Word. Like many preachers' children, he had to learn the difference between attending church and having a personal relationship with a personal loving Savior. His own personal encounter motivates him to reach people on all difference levels of life. He met and married Michelle while in Bible school and they have three children.

Everyone from UNT follow @InokeNgalo an Tell him to Commit !
— BadLuck15 (@TauaaloTj15) January 26, 2014
UNT is in the process of finalizing its 2014 recruiting class and had what sounds like it was a pretty good weekend with a host of key prospects over the weekend.
We know that key target Xavier Washington was in town, along with a few other targets. We ran a list on the blog heading into the weekend.
I thought a comment UNT commit T.J. Tauaalo posted on Twitter was interesting and might have provided a little additional insight.
Tauaalo encouraged UNT fans to follow Houston commit Inoke Ngalo, a thee-star inside linebacker Euless Trinity. Ngalo had a UNT offer before he committed to Houston.
It could be nothing, but it is something to follow.

Dow settlement reached with Rohm & Haas
March 11, 2009
The takeover that went from an absolute-must to nearly a bust for Dow Chemical will go forward, but the final price for Rohm & Haas was steep and the nation''s largest chemical company must now mesh and grow its businesses amid the broken economy. The settlement was announced in a Delaware court, where a judge had pushed both parties to reach an accord, reported by the Associated Press. In a concession, the Haas family's trust and Paulson & Co. agreed to take a $2.5 billion stake in preferred shares issued by Dow. In addition, the Haas family will make a future investment of $500 million at Dow''s option. While the debt load for Dow was reduced in the new deal, the final price for Rohm & Haas rose by more than $1 billion when fees are included. Andrew Liveris, Dow''s chairman and chief executive, said the new terms are "substantially improved." Dow had initially put up $78 per share, or $15.4 billion, when the deal was announced last July. With additional fees, the final price will be about $79 per share, or $16.5 billlion. As a first step, Dow said it would lay off thousands of Rohm''s workers. The move, along with others, is designed to save cash as the company works to pay down a $10 billion loan that becomes much more expensive after a year. Rohm & Haas makes specialty chemicals that go into electronics, building materials and medicines, all sectors that have been afflicted by the economic downturn. Dow agreed to pay $78 per share for Rohm, plus fees. Dow said it would cut 3,500 jobs at Rohm & Haas, which means that including 900 layoffs announced earlier this year, about 25 percent of all employees at the company will lose their jobs. Besides layoffs, CEO Andrew Liveris told analysts that more plants would be closed and that redundant operations would be eliminated. Dow has already said it would close 20 plants. For Liveris, the work to integrate Rohm & Haas -- a company he previously called a "jewel" -- has just begun.

Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Case Keenum will start at quarterback Sunday for the Houston Texans against the Indianapolis Colts.
Head coach Gary Kubiak made the announcement Monday, as the team begins preparation following a bye week.
Keenum played well in his first NFL start, a 17-16 loss on Oct. 20 at Kansas City. Matt Schaub was inactive for the game after injuring his right ankle a week earlier against St. Louis.
"Matt's health is fine. It's a decision based on what I saw take place last week with Case," Kubiak said about his quarterback decision.
Schaub was struggling mightily prior to the injury, throwing a pick-six in four consecutive games heading into the contest against the Rams.
Keenum, a product of the University of Houston, threw for 271 yards and a touchdown on 15-of-25 passing in the narrow loss to the unbeaten Chiefs.

The criminal prosecution of the Arctic 30 has been terminated after the Russian parliament adopted an amnesty decree marking the 20th anniversary of the country's constitution. The non-Russian nationals were granted exit visas to leave the country and all of them have finally returned home. They spent more than three months in detention, despite the fact that the seizure of their ship and the imprisonment of the activists were deemed illegal by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. As one activist said, "They didn't lock us up for what we did. They locked us up for what we stood for." Their act of civil disobedience was a courageous stand against destructive Arctic oil drilling and the onslaught of climate change.

With school work, extracurricular activities and the pressure of getting into the right college, students are more stressed out than ever.
In fact, a recent survey says that stress, anxiety and panic attacks are on the rise at many high schools across the country.
"It's a lot to worry about and there is a lot of pressure and you just want to know if you're going to get into that one college you really wanted," said Jenny Wellman, senior at Quincy Notre Dame.
Wellman says she's already been accepted to the college she's been wanting to go to, but says she still has a hard time trying to balance everything.
"I play volleyball and I'm also in choir, so getting ready for spring show. I'm in the musical right now, "Wanda's World", so I'm kind of stressing out."
This mentality is something many students go through this time of year and some say the pressure at home could only be making things worse.
Wellman adds, "My mom will always ask me, 'Did you get your homework done? How much homework do you have'?"
"I think sometimes the parents expectations are very high for their students and that obviously puts more pressure on the students to perform the best they can. It's good to an extent, but sometimes it's a little bit too much pressure," said QND Guidance Counselor Judy Liesen.
Liesen says the school tries as best it can to ease student's concerns. "We prepare them as they go through each year and what they're expected to do each year."
Liesen says for parents to encourage their kids to apply to more than one college just in case things don't work out the way they were hoping.

People passing through Whitefish might have a new place to stay soon.
The city just got a proposal for a Hampton Inn and Suites along Baker Avenue and US 93 South, where the old Wendy's used to be.
It would be 76 rooms with a pool, workout area, and a "virtual golf room," that's according to a report from the Whitefish City-County Planning Board.
The planning board will consider the proposal this Thursday.
Whitefish city council is expected to hear comments on the issue on April 7.

There are few places in this world where you are able to affordably escape with the family to a simpler time while watching a couple of movies under the stars. Spending a summer evening at this theater is as American as apple pie and baseball. Future generations deserve the opportunity to create their own memories and keep this tradition alive. The community truly unites at this theater. Under the glow of the giant screen, strangers become friends. This is the magic that must always be preserved.

I am currently working with Kitson Kazynka and the team at National Geographic Kids to put the final touches to Mission: Wolf Rescue, the second in a news series of books that helps young people to learn about endangered animals. Working with some of the best wolf experts in the world, the book introduces a range of issues that wolves face and what we can do to help them.
While on Route 125 Seb and I completed an adventure to walk with predators in Cumbria. We were delighted to meet Maska and Kajika, two timber wolf pups, at Predator Experience. We explored a local wood with the young hybrid wolves and their handlers Dee and Daniel. the video above gives you a glimpse into our time with them. You can read the full adventure report here.

Can you imagine living for a month entirely on things that can only be found within a day's walk of your home? This is what Jess Allen did over the last month and I'll be asking her why she did this on Twitter tomorrow night.
Jess describes herself as a "stereotypical dreadlocked-vegetarian-eco-feminist-environmentalist-caravan/yurt-dwelling aerial dancer, walking artist and academic hedgesprite with a horse" She's currently doing a second PhD in performance, developing the practice of tracktivism with a President's Doctoral Scholarship from the University of Manchester.
I'll be asking Jess some questions about her work and experiences on Twitter using the hashtag #guerrillageography from 8pm (London time) tomorrow. I hope you can join us.

I'm looking forward to speaking at a National Geographic event at the Wellcome Collection tonight ahead of the 125th anniversary of the organisation. The evening for commercial supporters of National Geographic in the UK is called the "New Age of Exploration". In my short presentation I plan to (re)frame what 'geography' is (much like in this recent interview with Geographical Magazine) and then touch on an 'exploration revolution' that is taking place. Technology is not only changing how we conceive, plan, organise, conduct, share and review our explorations, but the number of people who can engage in them.
I love this short video by ito! showing four years of edits on Open Street Map. It's an awesome example of collaborative and open exploration that involved over 750,000 registered users and shows collaboration at its best. For me, some of the most exciting cartographic 'events' in this video are where sparks of activity appear in countries, regions and neighbourhoods that were otherwise left uncharted or unpublished by governments and other organisations. It all demonstrates that places are not just discovered once, they can be discovered and rediscovered millions of times as they change and new people and other animals visit them. It's a video that shows an Exploration Revolution that you are unavoidably part of…

After months of work it's only a couple of weeks until Mission:Explore Food is officially published. Here are some spreads from the book that we've issued with our press release. I'm currently working on a Mission:Explore Food Expedition to promote the book that we're mounting over 2012/13 to do missions and discover extreme foods around the UK. Details of this slow-food journey will be appearing on The Geography Collective blog over coming weeks.

There was an accident on the M4 today so we were forced to leave the motorway at Slough and take the A4 back to Ealing. When we got to Heathrow we saw a sign for Colnbrook and Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centres, my wife's research focuses on women, migration, detention, health and home… so we thought we'd turn off and have an explore. It was not just the barb wired buildings that look like they could be logistical distribution centres for a supermarket that struck me, but their positioning to and relationship with their neighbour…
The building on the left looks like it could be a detention and removal centre with it's concrete walls, small windows and… if you look closely.. two-way surveillance including CCTV cameras and loud speakers. This is actually the Sheraton Hotel at Heathrow Airport. The building behind it is Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre. Separated by just 50 metres, the 'visitors' of each of these dormitories are so close and yet 'worlds apart'. It looks like they may even be able to look out of their (in)secure bedrooms to one another.
Looking north, in this picture you can see Colnbrook on the left (and west) and the Sheraton to the right (and east). Check out this map.
In their own words, here's a quick comparison of these two different establishments:
"This centre, near London's Heathrow airport, holds up to 383 detainees on behalf of the UK Immigration Service plus a further 20 people on behalf of HM Revenue and Customs. Sheraton Heathrow Hotel's 426 guest rooms are warm, inviting, and designed for your comfort and convenience. Whether you choose a Classic room, Club room, or suite, you will experience the celebrated "ahhhhh" of The Sheraton Sweet Sleeper™ Bed. Since it opened in 2004 – ahead of schedule and under budget – more than 40,000 detainees have passed through the centre, making it one of the busiest removal centres in the UK. Most detainees are awaiting removal abroad, with more than 30 nationalities on average being held at the centre for an average of seven days. Our third floor includes dedicated Starwood Preferred Guest Rooms, as well as Club Rooms. Club Rooms feature King-sized beds, bathrobes, slippers and LCD screen televisions as well as upgraded amenities, free bottled water, complimentary wireless High Speed Internet Access and fitness center access. The short-term holding facility within the centre is used to hold people immediately after their detention by UK Immigration Service. They are usually only held in this facility for 72 hours. Colnbrook also provides a separate custody service to HM Revenue and Customs. Club guests have special access to the Club Lounge. A relaxing, upscale space, the Club Lounge offers complimentary breakfast, afternoon hors d'oeuvres and a variety of beverage options. Take advantage of the private Club Lounge where you can connect with friends, meet with your team, or simply relax by catching your favorite TV show. The majority of those detained are suspected of smuggling drugs inside their bodies into the UK.The centre was designed and built by Serco and operates on an eight-year contract (with the possibility of a two-year extension) with the UK Immigration Service. Need to get some work done? A copier/fax/printer and complimentary office supplies, internet access and computer stations are ready to go. We pride ourselves on providing the best possible environment for our detainees."*
*The bold extract is quoted from Serco's Colnbrook website (1 July 2012) while the words in italics are on the Sheraton's room description page for their Heathrow Hotel."
Humuhumunukunukuapua'aPosted: 18 April, 2012 Filed under: Ecosystem, Oceans, Organism, Sight, Swim, Underwater, Water | Tags: exploration, Fish, Graffiti, Hawai'i, Maui, National Geographic, Pacific, Snorkel, Street art, USA Leave a comment
I'm recently back from a trip to Maui, Hawai'i. While there I was lucky enough to go underwater exploring with Emily Schell from National Geographic. I did not have my contact lenses and so my vision wasn't as good as it could have been, but it was awesome to check out so many fish. By far I loved seeing the curious Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, the state fish of Hawai'i, the most. I didn't snap a picture of the triggerfish on our snorkeling trip, but I spotted this one swimming through Honolulu a few days later. Cool fish, aye?
If you're wondering how to pronounce Humuhumunukunukuapua'a then this culturally enlightening (?) article from the Daily Mail (!?) will give you a decent lesson.

I felt a bit decadent when I decided to make this recipe for Porcini Crusted Tenderloin Filet with Fresh Herb Butter, after all, I would be dining by myself. Lenny is away on business, and I decided to take advantage of some down time to finish a shoot for Lava Lake Ranch. They sent me some of their grass-fed beef which is raised by Brandon Natural Beef to shoot, and guess what? I have gone gaga over it. Swoon.
Let me just say, that sometimes the bounty from my free-lance work is delicious. Brandon's beef is 100% grass fed and you can really taste the freshness with each melt-in-your mouth bite. It is tender, buttery and rich in flavor. I wanted to put a Valentine's twist on this recipe, as I thought a simply porcini crusted filet would be the ultra aphrodisiac for that romantic day coming up. Rustic but sultry, and earthy porcinis mingle nicely with an herb butter which I decided to shape into cute buttery hearts. After the tenderloin is seared perfectly on the both sides, it is slowly cooked to medium rare; do not over cook this incredible cut of meat. Then it is slathered with the herbed butter which has been seasoned with garlic and tarragon. Tarragon pairs perfectly with the earthy porcini crusted beef to create a heavenly entree for Valentine's Day or just because you feel like indulging dinner.

Among the many concerns I had before moving to Victoria was the absence of Houston's bountiful and established art scene.
My appetite for exhibits, indie films and the performing arts had ballooned in my time spent at an arts magazine.
To my surprise Victoria's art scene turned out to be bigger than previously projected.
The Nave Museum, festivals and wine selections have been able to keep this art hound alive.
But what really, really took me by surprise was the University of Houston-Victoria's American Book Review Fall Reading Series.
Now before I go on, I feel like it's important to say that Victoria College's Lyceum Lecture Series is just as great - Monday night historian and lecturer Rick Shenkman drew in a crowd of 180 community members to the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts.
The Q&A session after Shenkman's lecture went well into the second hour.
In a town where sometimes it seems all there is to do is drink, shoot guns in the country and eat - a healthy, fervent and ripe reading series is more than welcomed by a shameless snob like me.
The only thing I don't understand is why hardly anybody of his or her own volition or outside the university seemed to be at the last reading.
This fall's reading series was opened by Steve Tomasula, who gave a reading to a packed room.
University officials, a spattering of locals, college freshman required to attend and a high school english class filled the Alcorn Auditorium.
Last Thursday, an equally obscure author was granted maybe a third of the first author's reception.
She was good, like really good.
In fact you're lucky if you even get to meet someone as honest, insightful and adorable as Paisley Rekdal in the Crossroads area.
And I don't mean to knock on Victoria — I moved here because I love the parts of this city that are still tangled up in old family feuds, oil boom growing pains and unapologetic conservatism.
It makes for good writing, or at least that's what I'm hoping.
I've made marvelous, charming and smart friends in my short time here and I'm writing about this issue because I care.
I care about these opportunities some art-starved Victorians may not realize they're missing out on.
At her reading Paisley brought a hip new presentation style to the Golden Crescent.
It's called a pecha-kucha.
You'd hear about it in places like Tokyo, San Francisco or Austin — but I, along with the few lucky-enough-to-be-required-to-be-there students and staff, got to see one in Victoria.
It's basically a slide show where you show 20 slides but for only 20 seconds each.
Rekdal said pecha-kuchas started out in Japan to keep business presentations short.
The style grew and has seeped into trendy coffee shops across the globe as a way for artists to explain their work.
It wasn't a crazy light show or anything, but it worked.
Rekdal was able to explain her very long and complicated photo book, "Intimate," in 400 seconds or less.
The high school students stayed awake because it wasn't boring, long and they got to time the narrating author.
And faculty members praised it during the Q&A.
All we needed were coffees, kolaches and berets for everyone.
This fruit is good for you, Victoria.
Why don't you eat it?

Dear Gilbert Schools Supporter,
Are you confused about the November 5, 2013 override election? Here are some facts you should consider before casting your vote.
The chart below shows data from the Arizona Auditor General's Office. It clearly demonstrates that over the last 11 years (time period for which data is available) Gilbert Public Schools has increased its spending per pupil at a rate that far exceeds inflation. At the same time, the % of dollars spent in the classroom has declined. The bottom line is this: as the administration has collected and spent more and more money from increased property taxes, previous overrides, and Prop 100, they have not spent that money in the classroom – which includes teachers' salaries! – where it matters most.
Until this administration demonstrates it can properly prioritize and spend the money it has, why would we give them more of our hard earned tax dollars?
More evidence of out of control spending within Gilbert Public Schools, outside of the classroom. Notice the growth in two of the major non-classroom spending categories compared to the growth in the number of students over the same time period. While the number of students grew by 31% between 2001 and 2012, Instruction Support spending grew by 159% and Student Support spending grew by 218%! The excess spending for Student Support alone accounts for the full amount of the override being requested! Why are we spending so much money for activities that are expressly defined as "not education services"?
The November 2012 override requested by Gilbert Public Schools district failed. The district stated that if the 2012 override failed, the following cuts may happen:
- Charging for all day kindergarten
- All day kindergarten has continued to be provided at no additional cost
- Increasing class sizes by one student
- Class sizes were reduced by one student starting the 2013 school year.
- Removing varsity coaches
- All varsity coach positions remain in the district
- Cancelling junior high sports programs
- All junior high programs continued to be offered to students
- Layoffs of 14 elementary school art teachers
- There have been no layoffs of teachers.
- The district hired additional teachers for the 2013-14 school year due to the lowering of class sizes
- Replacing registered nurses with health assistants
- Registered nurses continue to be employed by the district
- Cut 5th and 6th grade band
- There have been no cuts to the district music program
Statements being made by the district for the current proposed 6.6% override for the November 2013 election

More WhiskyFest Chicago seminars announced!March 5th, 2014
Last week we told you about two of the seminars we'll be presenting at WhiskyFest Chicago; here are two more!
J.P. Wiser's master blender Don Livermore brings the history and craft behind the Canadian whisky renaissance, presenting "A Legacy of Canadian Blending." He'll show you how whisky blending's done — Canadian style! — and then lead you through blending your very own expression of J.P. Wiser's Canadian whisky. A unique hands-on experience of what goes on behind the blending process.
Jack Daniel Distillery brings Chris Fletcher, their new assistant master distiller to talk and taste Jack Daniel's bottlings like Sinatra Select and the limited edition Rested Rye. It's a presentation called "Exploring New Whiskeys from Jack Daniel's," and we can't guarantee what else he might just show up with; that's the fun of WhiskyFest!
Hands-on blending and new Jack Daniel's whiskeys: plenty to look forward to at WhiskyFest Chicago!
Variety and high-proof passion: your first two WhiskyFest Chicago seminars!February 26th, 2014
WhiskyFest Chicago's seminars are shaping up, and we'll be telling you about them as they finalize. Here are the first two.
Anchor Distilling president David King will be talking about his company's portfolio of own-make whiskeys and imports, justly bragging that it's "The Most Interesting Whisk(e)y Portfolio in the World." He'll make his case with six unusual whiskies.
Heaven Hill's Bernie Lubbers will encourage you to "Stay Bonded," as he talks about a special 100 proof interest of his: bottled in bond whiskeys, and particularly, Heaven Hill's little-known bonded range.
Variety and high-proof passion: your first two WhiskyFest Chicago seminars!

WhiskyFest™ New York returns to original format in 2014October 30th, 2013
Whisky Advocate magazine's WhiskyFest New York will take place in 2014 on Wednesday, October 29th, at the Marriott Marquis Times Square. The event will return to its original format: an evening grand tasting with seminars occurring simultaneously in adjacent breakout rooms. This original format will also continue at the WhiskyFests held in Chicago and San Francisco.
John Hansell, Whisky Advocate Editor and Publisher, explains:
We are taking a break from the more recent two-day program of grand tastings on two evenings and all-day seminars on the second day in New York City. Our primary reason for waiting is that we want the New York seminar day to be the best whisky event anywhere. To achieve this, we need to have substantial quantities of incredibly rare whiskies procured for an audience of several hundred whisky enthusiasts; this is extremely difficult to accomplish on an annual basis. Rather than hold an event that does not live up to the standards we have set, with whiskies that are not the best and rarest, we prefer to take a break in 2014 so we can properly plan our next seminar day and source the appropriate whiskies.
The WhiskyFest dates for 2014 have been established as follows:
WhiskyFest Chicago:Friday, April 25
WhiskyFest San Francisco: Friday, October 3
WhiskyFest New York: Wednesday, October 29
Updated ticket and exhibitor information will be available in November. For more information on the 2014 events, contact Joan McGinley, WhiskyFest Events manager, at email@example.com.
WhiskyFest New York DeliversOctober 22nd, 2013
We promised you a lot for WhiskyFest New York, right here on this blog, and now that it's done, we're here to let you know: we delivered!
We told you there would be over 300 whiskies at the grand tasting: over 375 were offered, by the master distillers, blenders, and global and national brand ambassadors! If that wasn't enough, there were also whisky cocktails, a small selection of excellent beers and other spirits, and a ballroom full of fellow whisky fans.
We said there would be unique whiskies at the seminars, presented by some of the top names in the industry: you got 23 year old Kininvie, 21 year old Stitzel-Weller, cask strength 21 year old Aberlour, a 1968 Highland Park, 1973 Ardbeg, and a Balvenie blended malt. Top names? You heard David Stewart, Dr. Bill Lumsden, Richard Paterson, John Glaser, Ann Miller, and Tadashi Sakuma, and the Whisky Advocate writers, and you heard them ribbing each other, and revealing the deep knowledge they have of whisky and how it's made.
If that wasn't enough, we had some very personal moments with three whisky legends. Master Distiller Jimmy Russell told us how things were when he started in 1954, and shared an unreleased 12 year old Wild Turkey. Bruichladdich master distiller Jim McEwan shared some stories, and led the audience in a boisterous Highland toast with this year's Feis Ile bottling. And we saw Heaven Hill master distiller emeritus Parker Beam and Whisky Advocate publisher John Hansell struck speechless by emotion as Parker made what is likely his last WhiskyFest appearance, and led us in a toast with the unique Master Distillers' Unity bourbon.
Seminar ticket holders were told they would taste seven Whisky Advocate Award-winning whiskies; you not only got to sample our top American, Irish, Lowland, Highland, Islay, Canadian, and craft whiskies, they were presented by the Whisky Advocate writers who chose them, with insight on why those whiskies won.
We promised you lunch with the seminars, and you got it, along with four Taliskers (including the 25 year old and the new Storm), with a rare bonus: Talisker new make. Then Dave Broom and Dr. Nick Morgan explained what makes Talisker unique, and why it can't really be made anywhere else, a terroir tour de force. (Even if you couldn't make the seminars, attendees of the grand evening tastings got a fantastic open buffet with something to suit every appetite.)
There are other whisky events out there; you could spend your money on them and go to them all. But they aren't like WhiskyFest New York. We promise you the world of whisky…and we deliver!
Get to WhiskyFest New York, and UBER Will Get You Safely Home!October 8th, 2013
If you're going to WhiskyFest New York, and you need a ride back to your apartment or your hotel room, have we got a deal for you! Uber, the taxi app, will offer new users $25 off their first ride by using the code WhiskyFestNYC (this deal excludes UberTAXI).
Just download the Uber app for the iPhone or Android, or text the code to 827-222.
(If you're not familiar with Uber, it's an app that connects riders and professional drivers, a high-tech, cashless alternative to traditional taxi services.)
If you want craft whiskey, WhiskyFest New York has itOctober 2nd, 2013
Whisky is hot stuff right now, growing like crazy and piquing everyone's interest. You know WhiskyFest is the place to try the latest single malts and bourbons, the Asian whiskies that are getting all the buzz — have you had Kavalan yet? — and yes, we're finally seeing some of the high-end Canadians that usually don't make it to the U.S.
But the hottest category, the one where anything goes and distillers are grabbing every grain out there to make whiskey out of it, is American craft whiskey. It's crazy like craft brewing, and often features the same people or the same ideas: hopped whiskeys, whiskeys distilled from dark malts, pumpkin spiced whiskey. It's where a lot of the innovation in whiskey is taking place right now…and WhiskyFest New York is the place to try the new American craft whiskeys, poured by the producers, without having to hunt for them.
Who's going to be in New York for WhiskyFest? Few Spirits (with their Rye and barrel-aged gin), Anchor, High West, Hillrock Estate (try the Solera), Dry Fly, Hudson (of course), A. Smith Bowman, Defiant, Long Island Spirits, Koval (single-grain whiskeys), Widow Jane, Smooth Ambler, Redemption…and there's more, too. You could spend the whole night just sampling craft bottlings if you wanted to, there are that many.
Get a taste of what's coming up: craft whiskeys, at WhiskyFest New York!

Day of Seminars Delivers at WhiskyFest New YorkSeptember 24th, 2013
You're trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on the WhiskyFest New York seminar ticket, right? Hey, it's not cheap, we know. But maybe this will help make up your mind.
The very first whisky you'll taste is a Glenury Royal 23 year old. Yup, right off the bat you're tasting a 23 year old single malt from a distillery that last produced in 1983. Not rare enough? Okay, we also have a Stitzel-Weller bourbon. Right. The stuff that's at the heart of the oldest Pappy Van Winkle, been locked up in the warehouses for over 20 years. We've got it, you'll taste it. Don't leave yet: how about a Kininvie. You know? The secluded "third distillery" that William Grant tucked in behind Balvenie, only a few, very limited single malt bottlings (and none released here)? Just for you, friend. Then there's Sazerac 18 year old rye. So what, you're thinking, that stuff comes out every fall! Not this bottling: this is the original, distilled in 1981, bottled in 2000.
And that's just the first hour! How could we top that? Well, after a little interlude — just an intimate moment with legendary bourbon distiller Jimmy Russell and a one-off bottling of some of the oldest Wild Turkey anyone's ever seen, no big deal — we will blow your minds with four unique, new, never-to-be-released-again whiskies. There's an Ardbeg 1973 (presented by Dr. Bill Lumsden), the one-off Balvenie Offspring (presented by David Stewart), a Highland Park 1968 (presented by Gerry Tosh), and a cask strength 21 year old Aberlour (presented by Ann Miller). None have ever been bottled before; only these 12 bottles of each ever will be.
Remember…we haven't even broken for lunch yet.
What else? Well, Jim McEwan has the last of this year's Feis Ile bottling from Bruichladdich, and we have a sampling of three exceptional whiskies paired with exquisite chocolates (one presented by Chef Daniel Boulud). Then there's that lunch, with four Taliskers and the lively repartee of Diageo's Dr. Nick Morgan and our own Dave Broom, followed by a hot seminar on whisky trends, and a presentation of seven of last year's Whisky Advocate award winners.
Still haven't made up your mind? Wow, you're a tough one. Well, there's one more whiskey you'll get to taste: Master Distiller's Unity, a bourbon blended from whiskey donated by seven master distillers from their stocks to honor Parker Beam. Parker will present it himself, and the ten bottles we'll be pouring — for you — will be the first and only tasting of the whiskey. There are two other bottles, which will be sold together the next day at Bonhams, with all proceeds going to the Parker Beam Promise of Hope Fund. But you'll taste it first. With Parker.
So…ready to buy that ticket now?

---- — Fourth-grade classrooms in Cass County are invited to participate in an essay contest to wrap up Logansport's 175th anniversary.
One winning classroom will be selected to receive tickets to the anniversary's closing celebration, "Birth of a City."
The topic for the essay contest, hosted by Thelma Conrad, Cass County Historical Society Museum curator, is "Why save local history?" Only one essay should be submitted from participating classes – the project is a group effort. Essays should be 400 words or less and focus on local history.
"Kids are always seeing different images of the White House and Lincoln Memorial and know it has something to do with our nation's history," Conrad said. "On a local level, there are items to be saved and it's just as important to save them locally."
Conrad thought it was important to make sure a group of people have an opportunity to go to Logansport's 175th closing celebration. The show will be at 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15 at McHale Performing Arts Center. All tickets are $5.
The play that will be performed was written and compiled by local author Garry Williams.
"I think it's an important event that's going to take place," Conrad said. "I'd love to see McHale filled. This is my small way of helping people have the opportunity to go."
Although one teacher and his or her classroom will be selected as the winner, it is not considered a field trip. Conrad is hoping the winning tickets will spur parents or guardians to attend the celebration with the kids and celebrate the city's history.
Entries must be turned in by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10. They may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com, mailed to the Cass County Historical Society at 1004 E. Market St., Logansport, IN 46947 or dropped off at the museum. Entries should include the school name as well as the teacher name.
In addition to winning tickets to the celebration, the winning essay will be printed in the Pharos-Tribune and the Cass County Historical Society newsletter.
Amie Sites is a staff reporter at the Pharos-Tribune. She can be reached at 574-732-5117 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her: @PharosAES.

State Hosts First SEC East Foe Vanderbilt In Easter Weekend Series
April 05, 2012
Friday's series-opener is set for a 6:30 p.m. start, with MSU junior righty Chris Stratton (6-0, 2.27) matched with Vanderbilt sophomore southpaw Kevin Ziomek (2-4, 4.70). It's the fourth start of the season and the second at Dudy Noble Field in 2012 for Stratton, whose 61 strikeouts ranks second in the SEC and tied for fifth nationally.
The Bulldogs, who have registered a win against nationally-ranked SEC Western Division foes LSU (No. 10), Arkansas (No. 3) and Auburn (No. 24) during the first three weekends of 2012 league play, begin the week tied in the overall league standings with Vanderbilt and another 2011 NCAA College World Series participant, two-time defending NCAA champion South Carolina, all with 3-6 league marks.
Live audio and high definition video streaming is available online on a subscription basis, (www.HailState.com/hstvlive), with the radio broadcast of all three games carried on the statewide MSU Baseball Radio Network.
Junior right-hander Kendall Graveman (2-1, 3.05), whose complete-game win at LSU on SEC opening weekend stands as the lone rout-going performance to date in the SEC, will open on the mound in Saturday's 2 p.m. contest opposite Vandy sophomore righty Tyler Beede (1-3, 5.46). Neither team has designated a starting pitcher for Sunday's 1:30 p.m. series finale.
Mississippi State, in search of its initial SEC series win of the spring, has compiled a 16-5 record at Dudy Noble Field and is nearing its 1,000th all-time baseball win at the current on-campus playing site. MSU has registered 986 wins at home since moving to Dudy Noble Field in 1967.
The Bulldogs hold a 62-38-1 all-time lead in the baseball series with the Commodores but will be looking to stem a run of Vanderbilt success in recent meetings. MSU's 9-8 Sunday win in last year's SEC opening weekend series in Nashville snapped a run of 12 consecutive series wins by Vanderbilt, which enter this weekend's renewal having won six straight at Dudy Noble Field.
General admission tickets ($10) will go on sale at the Dudy Noble Field Ticket Office two hours prior to each day's scheduled first pitch.
State hosts South Alabama Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. and resumes SEC play at home in two weekends with back-to-back home series against Tennessee (Apr. 19-21) and Ole Miss (April 27-29).

1913-2013 (and counting): Grande Colonial Hotel marks 100 years in La Jolla with special events
By Linda Hutchison
Many La Jollans are turning 100 this year. As they celebrate their centennial year, so is a distinguished La Jolla landmark – the Grande Colonial Hotel – that opened its doors to guests on Feb. 1, 1913. The Colonial Apartments and Hotel, as it was called then, was billed as a luxurious blend of European elegance and contemporary American ambience overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The original white, wood-framed building was designed by Richard Requa, the master architect of the California Exposition in Balboa Park. It is the oldest original hotel in La Jolla.
The Colonial quickly became a popular gathering spot in La Jolla, which had been growing in size since its founding 25 years earlier. By 1913, La Jolla had train, phone and electrical service and was attracting more visitors, residents, and businesses.
In Europe, war was rumbling, but was still far away. At home in the States, Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president; the income tax was introduced, as were the first zipper, elastic bra, and the moving assembly line at Ford Motor Company. The Lincoln Highway opened from New York City to San Francisco. It was the first paved highway to cross the country.
During the 1920s, La Jolla began paving its streets, too, perhaps not with gold, but definitely riding into a golden age. The Colonial's owner George Bane decided to give his hotel a new look to take advantage of La Jolla's tourist boom.
In 1925 he hired architect Frank Stevenson to design a hotel that would "rival anything in the West." The original building was moved to the rear of the new building, where it still stands. The new building was completed in 1928 with 28 apartments, 25 single hotel rooms (available for $25 to $50 a month), and the first sprinkler system west of the Mississippi. Its solid cement stairways and fire doors still exist. Inside, the hotel were colonial fireplaces with marble hearths, ornate chandeliers and lots of sunlight streaming through the decorative, domed windows.
Soon the new building also included La Jolla Drugstore, which owner Silas Putnam moved from next door. He added an ice cream parlor on the sidewalk where, for more than 30 years, locals gathered to chat and enjoy sodas and banana splits. The drugstore's pharmacist was Gregory Peck, the father of actor Gregory Peck, who grew up in La Jolla and in the 1940s, founded the La Jolla Playhouse with fellow actors Dorothy McGuire and Mel Ferrer.
During World War II, the hotel housed military men and their wives, as well as single servicemen from nearby Camp Callan. During the 1940s and '50s, the Colonial attracted many movie stars performing locally, including Groucho Marx, Jane Wyatt, Eve Arden, Pat O'Brien and David Niven.
Ghosts of the past
The Colonial has also attracted its share of ghost stories through the years – including phone calls to the front desk from an empty room … always the same room. When someone goes to check the room, the phone is off the hook. Guests claim to have spotted elegantly dressed men and women floating down the hallways and stairwells, and hearing laughter from the apartments above the bakery.
The kitchen staff says pots, pans and cupboard doors have moved on their own in the kitchen, although they've settled down since the latest remodeling.
After the drugstore moved out in 1960, the Colonial fell on hard times, until three local partners bought and restored it in 1976. Since then, there have been four additional restorations, new owners, and two popular restaurants, Putnam's Grille (1980-2001) and NINE-TEN since 2001 (both located in the space occupied by the drugstore).
The hotel's most recent renovation of its entry, foyer and lobby was completed a year ago in anticipation of this year's 100-year anniversary celebration. The goal was to preserve the classic feel of a European hotel and blend its historic spirit with contemporary style. The renovation included preserving original Georgian style arches, crown moldings, lead glass windows and hand-stenciled ceilings.
"The Grande Colonial holds a very special place in La Jolla's history and a fond place in the hearts of many in the community," said Terrence Underwood, general manager of the hotel since 1999. "We join a very exclusive group of other hotels in San Diego that have celebrated such a milestone, including the Horton Grand, Hotel Del (Coronado) and U.S. Grant."
Grande Colonial Centennial Events
• Centennial Celebration Package for guests includes two nights in an ocean-view suite, complimentary valet parking, history book, wine and two commemorative wine glasses.
• Monthly receptions with drawings for vacation packages and dinner.
• Special "throw-back" cocktail menus and promotions at NINE-TEN
• Centennial merchandise, including T-shirts, baseball cap, coffee mug, wine glasses, video and history book.
• The hotel would love to hear from former guests who have stories or mementos about their stay they would like to share.

Our Leadership who attend world publicised Meetings like the recent East Asia Summit to grandiously solve the global economic problems buffeting our Region. Only, to spectacularly fail to reach agreement in their endeavor to insulate East Asia from the consequences of the European Financial crisis that continues to roll on unabated.
What came out of Julia's talk fest in the East Asia summit- nothing!
What came out of the G20 Meetings Nothing!
No solution or worthwhile benefit comes from our political or business leadership. They may have been useful in the evolution of our human society until the end of the last decade but now since the world has become globalised it's evident the narrow nationalistic Leaders are no longer functional in the globalised system.
Look at Europe the Nations that make up the EU are unable to agree and resolve their collective crises born of their integrated relationship in Europe.
Now in Australia our poor quality Leadership of partisan politicians, like the narrow nationalists in Europe, want to make agreements and move Australia in a unified way to resolve Murray Darling river system crisis. Coercion through the Law will not work, this is against an integrated approach by agreement.
First the Leadership have to reform themselves before reforming the Murray Darling River management. Only, then can they success to solve our problem emanating from an integrated world.
