starring Jeffrey Combs, Jason Barry, Elsa Pataky, Enrique Arce
screenplay by Jose Manuel Gomez
directed by Brian Yuzna
by Walter Chaw Dr. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) apparently exists now in an alternate comic book universe where, as the hero, he can have innumerable concurrent adventures that disregard developments in other instalments in the series. Interred in a maximum security dungeon in the H.P. Lovecraft multiverse (a multiverse still dabbled in recently by Re-Animator director Stuart Gordon and his underestimated Dagon), West has jettisoned schlub assistant Dan for schlub prison doctor Howard (Jason Barry) while doomed love interest duties are assumed by the comely Elsa Pataky as a spunky investigative reporter. During imprisonment, West continues his experiments in re-animating the dead, expanding his research to encompass the idea that the soul has weight (making this an unlikely companion piece to Alejandro González Iñárritu's 21 Grams) and can be captured and replaced--echoes, of course, of "Dr. Frankenstein"'s experiments at humanizing Bub in Day of the Dead.

After my husband's motorcycle accident and his back was broken we were both lost and wondering what to do next. When we met Clark he explained everything from the beginning and kept us up to date of what the process will be and where we were at during the process. Clark is an excellent lawyer and if I could recommend any lawyer for a personal injury case I have multiple cards of his in my wallet ready to pass out. He is very thorough, kind, and really cares! Clark is the best lawyer around, and we did our homework before meeting him. Clark came to our house due to my husbands condition and Clark also followed up at least 1-2 times per week checking on how we both were doing as well as keeping us posted of what will come. I thank Clark for coming into our lives, he is truly a heaven sent!
This guys does what he says, when he says he will do it and I felt like he was working for my interests only. I was very impressed by him and I would highly recommend him.
I read a story where Clark handled a case similar to the one I felt I had. I contacted him and we spoke for a while and I came away feeling very comfortable with his firm. I then did some more research on the firm and I found them to be a perfect fit for handling my situation that could have been very embarrassing. Clark held my concerns in high regard and treated me and my family with compassion and caring yet he was very aggressive in getting me the compensation I deserved. Clark went above and beyond what I expected from him and he even has time to address any questions or concerns I may have even after my case was resolved. If I ever need an attorney, Clark Harmonson will always be my first choice. I highly recommend him because I know I can trust him with my life.

Die-in planned at Transport for London headquarters as 'save our cyclists' petition hits over 18,000 names
Anger grows over deaths of five London cyclists this month
After a horrific run of crashes in which five cyclists died on London's roads in nine days, London cyclists are taking action both on line and in real life. A 'Save Our Cyclists' petition calling on London mayor Boris Johnson to take urgent action is rapidly approaching 20,000 signatures after just 24 hours, and a 'die-in' protest and vigil has been organised for November 29 at Transport for London headquarters.
The die-in protest will start at 5pm on Friday November 29 with a vigil for the cyclists who have died on London's roads outside Transport for London HQ at 197 Blackfriars Road. That will be followed at 5.30 by the die-in and rally, before the event ends at 6.30.
"Transport for London needs our peaceful protest to be brought right to their door - the HQ of those who have failed to make our streets safe for our children or our pensioners to cycle on, never mind fit adults," say event organisers.
"Cycling safety needs to be top of TfL's priorities, as should befit a 21st century city looking for ways to tackle congestion and pollution. If Crossrail was predicted to kill 120 workers during its construction, work would be halted immediately. Cyclists are just as important."
The full details are on the event's Facebook page.
Save our Cyclists
Addressed to Boris Johnson and his cycling commissioner Andrew Gilligan, the Save our Cyclists petition on 38degrees asks: "Where is your sense of urgency?"
Petition creator Rhiannon Redpath wrote: "We call on Boris Johnson and Andrew Gilligan to vastly accelerate their plan for expenditure of the £913 million cycling fund, by releasing an accurate, costed and time-bound plan for how the fund will address cycle safety over the next 12 months, from the end of December 2013.
"TFL and the Mayor for London do have the right idea. But, as plans are drawn up, consultations are carried out, and meetings are had, London's roads continue to be unsafe, and cyclists are losing their lives.
"We are calling for urgent action from Boris Johnson and the Cycling Commissioner Andrew Gilligan to accelerate their plans, and to be clear about their intentions for cycle safety in London."
Launched yesterday, the petition hit 10,000 signatures within hours and is now racing toward 20,000.
That is correct but I would regard punishment as a deliberate imposition of a penalty. Where a cyclist gets killed or injured in an accident through negligence or stupidity on their part, the motorist hasn't set out to deliberately (assuming they have taken reasonable care) kill or injure the cyclist - indeed the motorist also becomes a victim of the cyclist's negligence (having to live with the consequences).

I'm not saying the driver isn't without fault. The road layout does not help, but neither does the cyclist. She should really have looked over her shoulder and made some indication of taken the lane. By hugging the side of the road she shows no intention of where she is going.
The driver should have given her more space and should not overtake her. But in another respect, it is the left-hand turning lane and she is following the curb. So I can see what he is anticipating. Ultimately as a cyclist you have to take charge of that scenario and move early, safely and decisively, indicating what you are doing. You can have all the high viz, lights and helmets, but if you are not indicating your intentions and do not look before making your manuoeuvre then you will get into those situations. Even my cycling proficiency from 30 years ago taught me that.
There will always be bad drivers, but hardly any want to be killers.
Watch the video again, the lane clearly indicates straight on with the option to turn left. Leave your poorly compiled comments at home.

Blaming the victim much?
The courts, for once, decided that the driver was wholly at fault. You actually disagree about the proportion of blame?

In the USA that's often used to mean a right turn: allows you to keep your right-hand on the the bars/brake.
You're right about the signal, but it's usually drivers using it when there's no indicator on the vehicle or the bulb is gone.
In the UK, that signal would be done with the right arm out the window, for a left turn. I do wonder why it's not shown, as it's part of the Highway Code booklet I got this year (driven for 20 years, just wanted to properly look it over again).
US bikes are set up with front brake on the left-hand lever, so you'd usually want to keep your left hand on the bar. More so than the right.

GoingRoundInCycles wrote:A video view of CS2 for those who haven't cycled on it (yet).
Three of the five cyclists killed recently in London died on or near Cycle Superhighway 2, a cycle-path route running from Aldgate in the City to Stratford in the east of the capital. Rigged with a camera mounted on his helmet and another on his bike, Peter Walker rides the route. It takes in some of London's worst cycle infrastructure – lorry-choked roads and just a blue-painted lane for protection – and the best, with a new, fully segregated section at the end.
Quite a good little video (I didn't want to like it, especially the way he began by parking himself next to busy traffic). The thing that struck me was that he hits the nail on the head early on when he says 'quite scary for a novice cyclist'. He navigates it perfectly well, but that is because of his experience.
The CS is a sham of blue paint. Though I'm not sure why the Bow roundabout is so troublesome except that there is lots of traffic queued up. The problem comes when as a novice you trust the CS markings and they lead you into parked cars and other scenarios which require experience and judgement.
Education is ultimately the key. But people should be dissuaded from using this CS stuff unless they know what they are doing.
Cycle lanes and segregated roads can't make up for cycle education.
I'm no novice on London's roads, I know what I'm doing and this changes nothing, CS2 is f****g dangerous and the close passes that just can't be avoided are scary, take primary - they'll still do it to punish you for taking primary.

I'm not saying the driver isn't without fault.
Indeed not. The driver is entirely and solely at fault. He cleary sees the cyclist, overtaks with a minimum of space, and then turns immediately left into her path.
The road layout does not help, but neither does the cyclist. She should really have looked over her shoulder and made some indication of taken the lane. By hugging the side of the road
She could have taken the lane more - but look, she's riding on the blue paint which is exactly where TfL is telling her to go. If she was taking the lane more, she'd probably get honked at by dozens of motorists for "not being in the cycle lane".
And, hang on: Are you really suggesting that we can blame the cyclist for not checking over her shoulder for some idiot cutting in in front of her WHEN SHE'S CONTINUING IN A STRAIGHT LINE IN HER LANE??
You must be reading the '68 version of the highway code from when the entire DoT was on acid
she shows no intention of where she is going.
Come on. A blind man without a stick or guide dog can see she's going straight ahead, and given her speed, the intention is pretty damn obvious.

Drivers complaining about cyclists not indicating is a blatant case of pots calling kettles black.
I've come to two conclusions recently:
1. Indicators are now an optional extra, and in the times of austerity most drivers clearly couldn't afford them (what with AC, electric everything and video players being essential!)
2. Indicating when changing lanes is the a terrible faux pas. Forget farting in a crowded lift, shouting into your mobile on the train, sitting down next to the fainting pregnant lady on the tube, or throwing up over your boss at the christmas party. All those you can get away with. Indicating before changing lanes on the motorway is now the only unforgivable sin in Britain.

Using your left arm as if indicating a left turn but raise your forearm so it is at a right angle to your upper arm and parallel to your body. Sadly the majority of motorists are unaware of hand signals that should be used when indicators fail. You can also use this to let the police or traffic warden on points aware of your intentions to move ahead.
This isn't in the highway code and looking up hand signals for cyclists through Google suggests that this actually means a right turn

A Milwaukee woman accused of taking items from a Mayfair Mall store and then stashing her clothes in another shop has been charged with retail theft and bail-jumping.
According to Wauwatosa police:
Nettie Mae Belcher, 52, took six hats valued at $166 from Hat World, then took off at 11 a.m. Friday. Staff at Pottery Barn Kids said they had seen Belcher in their store stuffing her jacket and other clothing under a display bed before she ran out of the mall.
She was found soon afterward hiding in bushes in a nearby neighborhood.
When police put her in a holding cell, she threatened to repeat the actions - taking off all her clothing - she took after her July 11 arrest, also for retail theft.

Stroke and osteoporosis screenings in Rockford Sept. 20
Staff Report
Residents living in and around the Rockford community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture.
Riverside Assembly of God, 4242 W. Riverside Blvd., Rockford, will host Life Line Screening Thursday, Sept. 20.
John Kost from Western Springs, Ill., participated in a Life Line Screening event in April 2008 and learned he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He writes, "I want to thank you and your organization for saving my life!"
Following are four key points every person needs to know:
1. Stroke is the third-leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability.
2. 80 percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke.
3. Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke.
4. Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient.
Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease.
A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.
Packages start at $149. All five screenings take 60 to 90 minutes to complete. For more about the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.

Pope backs report critical of 'radical feminist' US nuns
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has backed a doctrinal report drawn up under his predecessor Benedict XVI that accused the largest group of nuns in the United States of holding "radical feminist" views, the Vatican said in a statement on Monday.
The new pope has "reaffirmed the findings of the assessment and the program of reform" for the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), which represents around 45,000 US nuns and is known for its social work, the Vatican said.
The statement said the head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Ludwig Mueller, met with representatives of the LCWR in the Vatican on Monday in an attempt to smooth over differences.
Mueller thanked the group for its work in "many schools, hospitals, and institutions of support for the poor" in the US, the statement said.
But he also emphasized the need for the group to cooperate with US bishops and said LCWR was legally "under the direction of the Holy See".
The Vatican report issued in 2012 following a three-year investigation pointed to "serious doctrinal problems" and "unacceptable positions".
It appointed the Archbishop of Seattle, Peter Sartain, to ensure the group toe the line.
The report accused LCWR members of "dissent" with Church teachings against homosexuality and said they were pursuing "radical feminist themes".
It condemned LCWR for being "silent on the right to life from conception to natural death".
The report also said a position stated by LCWR in 1977 against the ordination of priests as a male prerogative "has never been corrected".

Hi, I'd like to give a $2 discount on a bundled item.
Ultimately I'd to be able to offer buy one from column A and get a $2 discount on one item from column B. I need it to only offer 1 discount for each item from column A so if you buy 3 from column A you can get up to 3 $2 discounts from column B.
A lesser choice would be to offer a specific item for $2 less and have a required column of B items that they must choose 1 of. I can do this by making a separate product for the A requirement but then I have inventory for 2 items that should be just 1.
I have tried shopping cart and catalog rules but have not had success and I'd like the discount to display on the product page.
Has anyone given discounts to bundles without creating redundant products?
This works in 1.1.6 as the bundle item now contains new functionality. Yippee!
Hi, please tell the world how you did it and what is that new functionality. Thank you.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name ... I protected them .... John 17:12 (TEV)
"Children are not mini-adults and we need to protect the innocence of our children as they're growing up."
The mark of a spiritual leader is protection, so fathers should protect the spiritual growth of their children. Jesus says, "While I was with them I kept them safe by the power of Your name ... I protected them ...." (John 17:12, TEV)
Jesus guarded the disciples' spiritual growth by protecting their minds. It is your job, as a father and spiritual leader, to protect their innocence. This is a huge task today in the culture we live in. Children are not mini-adults and we need to protect the innocence of our children as they're growing up. They cannot handle violence; they cannot handle sex; they cannot handle death. These things are a heavy subject for a little mind.
So when our three kids were growing up, Kay and I were very strict with what movies they could see, what TV programs they could watch, what books and magazines they could read. We got all kinds of grief from our kids for it.
When they were little, and could only see a 'G'-rated movie, they would say, "We want to go see this PG movie!" When they got a little bit older, they would say, "We want to go see this 'PG-13' movie!" We'd say, "You can when you're older but right now you're not going to see it." And they ruthlessly criticized: "Dad! Mom! You guys are so narrow-minded! You're the only parents in the entire universe who are not letting their kids see this movie!!"
It is amazing to me how Christian parents let their kids, even teenagers, see all kinds of things they have no business seeing. We should care about their minds. My three kids have grown up and they are happy, well-adjusted kids. Why? Because their minds weren't filled with garbage growing up; their minds weren't filled with vulgarities growing up. They're going to be exposed to that soon enough in life. They don't need it at a young age. You protect what goes into their mind.
Do you ever feel tired, drained or "beat-up" and just don't know why? That's because every day you're fighting an unseen spiritual war. You can't see it, but its effects are very real. In his 7 session Study Kit "The Invisible War: Winning the Battle of Temptation," Pastor Rick will teach you how to overcome the three predictable types of temptations that Satan uses to entice and defeat you: Passion, Possession, and Position.
Why is everything in life so hard? Why does doing the right thing often feel like a battle? In this new series, Pastor Rick shares insights from God's Word about the unseen spiritual forces working against us; the invisible war between good and evil. This series will help you win the battle within.

Presided over by District Revenue Officer V. Kalaiarasi, the meeting pointed out that sustained efforts were made by different agencies to regulate traffic and ensure road safety in the city and its suburbs. The members were told about these measures and their feedback was sought.
The meeting was told that police registered cases against 217 vehicles that violated various provisions of the law such as over loading, over speed, transporting passengers in goods carriers etc.
Officials had taken steps to cancel the permits for these vehicles.
Besides licenses of 40 auto rickshaws had been suspended for violating traffic rules frequently.
Explanations were sought from the owners of 60 other autos for the same reasons.
Drive against share autos would be continued in the city. A mere 50 had been issued licenses while more than 100 share autos were plying in the city.
The administration issued a stern warning that autos that carry excess numbers of children would be booked.
It also was decided to erect a high mast lamp at the Valluvar statue junction.

It's lucky we only have to roll over Moldova... because if it carries on like this, England might have to pick players out of the Wembley crowd
TGIF… Thank God It's Friday says the fast-food restaurant slogan which trades on the Thank God It's Friday delight of every factory and office worker.
TGIM is how it should read at Wembley tonight: Thank God it's Moldova.
As long as 11 Englishmen turn up this evening we should be good enough to roll over one of the weakest teams in the World Cup firmament.
VIDEO Scroll down to watch Roy Hodgson deals with injury crisis ahead of Moldova clash

As it happens, it would be a good idea if every able bodied patriot who has bought a ticket takes his boots along with him. Just in case.
Because there appears to be no knowing how many English professional footballers will be there.
Not given that there are precious few of them plying their trade in the Premier League – and that some of the better of them will miss the game anyway, through injury.
This is what England – the mother country of the greatest game – has come to. A sorry state.
It has reached the stage where the manager of the national team – once the most important figure in the land (forget any recent Prime Minister) – is given an over-flow seat as an after-thought when he goes to a match at one of our most famous clubs.
Liverpool claimed that the failure to accommodate Roy Hodgson in the directors' box for the game against Manchester United – a rarity of a match these days since several Englishmen were on the pitch – was 'a mistake.' Whatever.
When the attendance of the England manager is over-looked it tells us something about the status of the national team. There's something very wrong.
The World Cup finals in Brazil are less than 12 months away.
If England are not taking part – on the emotive occasion when the biggest single-sports event on the planet returns to the spiritual home of the Beautiful Game – most of the population of this country will feel a painful loss of pride.
That ache will not be eased by all the hype about the Premier League. Whether or not this is 'the greatest league in the world' – and whether the big-spending clubs like it or not – it is not as important in the national psyche as the World Cup.
Every four years since 1966 – when England's solitary World Cup triumph reignited this country's then-fading passion for the game – the public becomes desperate for even a modicum of success.
Failure to quality for the Finals brings on national mourning.
The quarter finals has become the benchmark for passable achievement – even though we still crave another taste of the glory.
Deep cut: Wayne Rooney posted this picture of his head injury which keeps him out of the Moldova game
Missing link: Jack Wilshere was forced off against Tottenham and will miss England's game against Moldova
Another one gone: Glen Johnson (left) was injured in this challenge with Patrice Evra
Yet, even as Hodgson strives to cobble a team together which might scrape into Brazil 2014, the new chairman of the Football Association is pinning his hopes on the distant 2022 tournament.
And for that to happen, Greg Dyke concedes there will have to be reversal in the spending of fortunes on foreign players so that more than the current handful of English lads can get some experience in the Premier and Champions Leagues.
Do not expect the Premier League and its masters, the richest clubs, to do any more than pay lip service to that appeal when Dyke convenes his summit meeting -oh, no, not another committee - to examine the problem.
Naked mammon, not national pride, now governs the game.
The feeding frenzy of the fans demands new foreigners – at any price no matter how good or ordinary they may be – and even Arsene Wenger has had to surrender to the howl of that mob.
Wither England, down now to a puddle rather than a pool of players?
Lack of respect: England manager Roy Hodgson was not invited into the directors' box for part of Liverpool's win over Manchester United on Sunday
Well, they'll see off them Moldovans, won't they?Well, yeah, they should, with almost any old team.
But what happens in Ukraine next week……and then against Montenegro and Poland? Your guess is as good mine, mate.
But if we don't qualify, what then? Only one thing for it. Sack the bloody manager. That's right. That bloke who had to bunk into Anfield last Sunday.
TGIM... if we carry on like this it will soon be England RIP.
This week's centenary of Bill Shankly's birth brought on a wave of nostalgia to warm the cockles of many an old heart, mine very much included.
The occasion is also the font of two books, one a pleasant remembrance of one of football's first great managers, the other another pile of faction in the deeply flawed idiom of the Damned Utd fantasy about Don Revie's Leeds.
It is worth pausing for a moment here to point out that Shankly and Revie were close friends as well as earnest rivals.
Laying it on with a towel: Don Revie (second left) and Bill Shankly (right), pictured at the 1965 FA Cup final, were friends as well as rivals
Plenty of wisdom: Shankly and Revie have a chat at Wembley in 1965
It has also been worth revisiting Shankly's genius in transforming Anfield from 'a ploughed field and a tin hut' into a glittering football cathedral.
As Bob Paisley sagely observed while leading Liverpool to the European Cup triumphs which eluded his mentor: 'Bill built the house. I just put the roof on.'
We have also had the excuse to smile again at some of Shankly's most fabled quotations, not least the one about football being a more important matter than life or death.
To that anthology, let me add the lesser known gem to which he treated our group of hacks outside the famous old Boot Room door late on an afternoon during which George Best in his phenomenal pomp had inspired Manchester United to victory at Liverpool.
Kop Idol: Shankly in front of the famous old terrace at Anfield, which he turned from 'a ploughed field in a tin hut' into a football cathedral
Centenary: Shankly, seen here with the FA Cup in 1974, would have been 100 this month
Putting the roof on: Bob Paisley (right) successfully built on the foundations laid by Shankly
As Shanks stood there looking like thunder, one of our number dared to ask: 'Any thoughts on Bestie?'
After a long, seemingly ominous pause, Shankly replied: 'Aye, wee George. He's the deepest tackler in the game.'
As with all his sayings, there was a profound meaning. He presumed we had all had eyes to witness Best's genius in full flow. So he drew our attention to George's sometimes over-looked courage.
No wonder Bill Shankly was the manager idolised by Alex Ferguson. No wonder we miss him, to this day.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Charlotte Groveland
Unpretentious, 5 star cuisine & European style
A little bit of European B&B style right outside Yosemite! Love it! The common spaces: upstairs porch overlooking Main Street, and the 'family room', complete with computer, piano & comfy furniture, are great for getting that homey feeling away from home and meeting some people you wouldn't meet at impersonal hotels & motels. And the food! I'm still thinking about Victor's special dinner dishes, as well as the morning pancakes!
Lots to do nearby. I'll be back for a raft trip!
Reasonably priced for Yosemite area, but some problems
The hotel is casual and comfortable, and located within walking distance of several restaurant, although all close early. They also offer free internet access and a tv room full of games and puzzles. There is a second story front porch facing on to the street, but it was furnished with old outdoor furniture and benches, and littered with full ashtrays, so it wasn't very inviting. Our room was extremly small, but sunny. It was decorated with antiques, and the sheets were nice. Our bathroom was fairly sizeable but the door to it didn't shut all the way, and it was not very clean. Breakfast, which includes cereal, bread for toasting, juice, coffee and pancakes (which were not fully cooked during our stay), is fair. The staff, though generally available, seemed uninterested in dealing with guests.
What a gem
The Hotel Charolette is a gem. The 3 of us women, part of the "Extravaganzas", shared a comfortable room downstairs.
It was a great respite before and after our full day off rafting the Tuolumne River. My favorite part, besides the humor and good care we received from owner Lynn, was sitting upstairs on the veranda, sipping a beverage and watching the world go by. I can't wait to visit again and don a straw hat for an evening in Groveland.
Linda "Extravaganza"
Crab Cakes & Bob
In May 2004, our daughter married a local, and my wife and I and another family member, spent 5 days, at "The Charlotte." The hosts, Lynn & Victor let us into their lives, and even awarded me the prized position of honorary quadruped. The call him "Bob, the Hotel Dog, but he and I both know that he is human. He and I kissed each morning, and discussed the previous day's activities. Lynn, Victor, are consummate hosts; they let you, the guest, define the relationship. They (including Bob) are never intrusive, but answer your every need. Victor is an excellent chef. With som reservation, I ordered Crab Cakes one evening. In wandering the globe, I have never eaten finer Crab Cakes. The best hotel experience of my 74 years.
The Hotel Charlotte is the friendliest place we have ever stayed.
Dinner rated up there with the finest French Chefs. I had the blackend salmon with cucumber salsa and it was out of this world! My wife had a delicious veal imperial. Our room was small, but warm and bright, just right. Our bathroom on the other hand was very large. Highly recommend.
Great restaurant!
The Hotel Charlotte was a terrific find on our way to Yosemite. Much cheaper than the Groveland hotel, the Charlotte has clean, comfortable rooms and a delicious breakfast included in the rate. The restaurant is out of this world!
Loved it
This was our 2nd time at the Hotel Charlotte in 5 years. The hotel is under new management, and it looks and feels like a new place. The management is friendly, the rooms are clean, and the restaurant next to it is terrific. It's a great buy for the money! D & D
A small hotel managed by owner, the Charlotte has very small rooms and is not well maintained. The continental breakfast is good, though. The bathtubs may have a charming old-fashioned look but they're not convenient for seniors.
Cute and Convenient
The hotel Charlotte broke our trip up nicely when we were going to Yosemite. We got to Groveland at noon, then spent the rest of the day in Groveland, and got into Yosemite the next morning by 8:00 after a quick breakfast at the hotel. Rooms are simple and clean. Ruth was very pleasant.

Death Valley NP to Yosemite NP - 446 kms
... calcium carbonate towers or formations called Tufas and heavy concentration of salt in the lake. This was near a small town called Lee Vining at the turn-off for Yosemite.
Our drive into Yosemite was another spectacular drive with views at every turn even before we got into the Yosemite Valley. Arrived into Curry Village around 6pm and had a big meal at the Village restaurant before calling it a night.
... scenery at the many viewpoints along the way as we made our way along the pass and eventually down into the valley. Yosemite was certainly beautiful, but it was very crowded and busy which detracted a bit from the enjoyment. At the information center we also learnt that the majority of the falls, including the iconic Yosemite Falls, were dry, which was a bit disappointing. We had planned to hire bikes and cycle around the valley, but the girls decided that they had had enough ...
Sorry.... Wow!
... causing mild whiplash to us both and send our heads perilously close to the windscreen. Fortunately, after a few "sorry"s we managed to make our way out of the steep streets of the city and onto the gleaming Bay Bridge, and out towards our final destination, Yosemite National Park.
Switching the car stereo to all-American radio, we were treated to country music as we navigated and negotiated the highways of California. It was not a particularly scenic drive initially, ...
Whoops.....Big Bang!!
... hours so we were left with very little option! I also then had to frantically find a hotel in Fresno close to the Ford Garage and after our very friendly tow truck driver Brad had dropped us at our 'Quality Inn' it was 9.00 pm (10 hours after we had set off) and we were well and truly shattered! Lily then informs us that she left her iPhone in the tow truck - cue, frantic phone call to her mobile in the hope that somebody would answer alas to no ...
From Coast to Desert
... just fine with very little car action involved :-) Along the way we've woken up in; a dirty carpark, a regular campground by the sea, nestled between the beach and the train line, in a desert and in a beautiful RV resort amongst red landscapes. The variety is pretty awesome! Highlights from this leg are: Mariposa Gold Mining Museum - quaint little old style museum about the gold mining days. Monterey Aquarium - a brilliant place for everyone ...

Congratulations! You have big shoes to fill. Mr. Garcia did amazing things at the school and changed the feel for that school in the time he was there. He was approachable, caring and showed empathy to everyone he spoke with. Mr. Garcia was respected not only by his peers but the children and their parents. Graham misses his presence. If he was to walk on campus now the students would gravitate to him. I hope the school district did its due diligence in hiring Mr. Ordonez and hope the new counsler will do just as great if not better at the minumum.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Board of Education has approved guidelines on how to teach the Bible in public high schools.
The curriculum approved this week is in response to 2008 legislation, which authorized the state to create a course for a "nonsectarian, nonreligious academic study of the Bible."
State officials said they tried to develop principles that are safe from court challenges. But some are concerned a state-approved Bible course could violate church and state separation, depending on who is teaching it.
Hedy Weinberg is director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee.
She told The Tennessean that the state seemed sensitive to concerns that the classes could be used to try to convert individuals. However, there are few details on how the classes will be run.

The bulky sweater with the collar cut out, the slouching leg warmers, taut thighs spray-glued into a black body stocking — though the film Flashdance may not have been a critical success, its esthetic defines the 1980s.
It didn't pay off for Daniel Roy to arrive at Rexall Place at 5:30 a.m. Saturday to be the first in line for Foo Fighters tickets. Nor for Greg Durante, who actually woke up at 2 a.m. to help his father deliver newspapers before getting in the old-school lineup hoping to score prime seats. Dressed in long johns and hoodie, Durante was determined not to miss out on tickets for the third time in his life.
The rock scholars at the Mayfield don't wimp out when they party. Blimey. Top of the Pops, the latest in the theatre's series of festive musical revues — each invariably the most popular show of the season there — chronicles in music, projections and hair the assault on the cultural balance of trade that famously happened in 1964. That's the year "a band of unlikely heroes" from Liverpool crossed the pond and reclaimed America for the Brits. Rule Britannia.
Some Edmonton musicians are rewinding the past and embracing a low-fi format. Over the past year, at least 15 acts have released their tunes on cassettes — for esthetic, financial or existential reasons. (Fear of technology is not one of them. In most cases, these tapes also come with download codes, so fans can access digital versions of the songs for their laptops and mobile phones.)
The protesters didn't show, the would-be hecklers didn't take the bait, the weeks of headlines about sexual assaults disappeared and Bill Cosby, for 90 minutes at least, regained the revered status he long enjoyed.
Call the 30-something dance artist a late bloomer if you want.
With his ornamental and calligraphic abstracts, longtime Edmonton painter Phil Darrah was a familiar professor around the University of Alberta for decades. He's also well known for his monolithic Calix at the Winspear Centre.
Sandy Joe Karpetz hits some of our city's best bashes to snap photos for our weekly Social Seen column. She is an Edmonton-based fashion writer and the founder of popular style blog theprettysecrets.comOn the Town:Event: The Mod Club When: Nov. 14
I read comics as a kid, sure. My brothers and I had piles of them at the family cabin in northern Saskatchewan. Nothing ultra-nerd or highbrow. Calvin and Hobbes, Mad magazine, Tintin, The Far Side. Mostly, it was Archie comics, their papery covers curled from beach-reading, sand caked into the seams, the pages torn and sticky from half-dissolved jawbreaker inspections, or maybe leech guts.
You might recognize him as The Swede. Or you might know him as Shakey Graves. Either way, actor-musician Alejandro Rose-Garcia has a knack for winning hearts.
Director of TV and stage hits as "The Graduate," "Angels in America" and "Monty Python's Spamalot," has died at 83
Marco Claveria Project's Latin-inspired Origins, Joe Nolan's rootsy Tornado and The Provincial Archive's jangly It's All Shaken Wonder are the finalists for this year's Edmonton Music Prize. The three were selected by a panel of judges from a shortlist of 10 acts/titles.
Nadien Chu was intrigued when she caught sight of the challenging 40-page "skeleton of a script" that becomes Northern Light's season-opener Friday. "What is it going to be when it's onstage?"
As Angel Forrest tells it, in her tune Mother Tongue Blues, "I just wanna get my story heard." The Montreal singer has straddled blues, rock and folk sounds for over two decades — while raising two daughters — but it's only in the past few years that she's really got comfortable with her own music.
John Fogerty brings some of his CCR classics to town this week in a concert Sunday, while classical organ and choral music take over other venues around the city. For other musical tastes, there's a show with Shannon and the Clams at Wunderbar on Whyte Avenue and Flashdance returns as a musical on the Jubilee Auditorium stage.
It took him four decades to do it, but Mike McDonald finally got his solo album.
The Foo Fighters are taking their Sonic Highways across North America. Dave Grohl and his rockers will perform Wednesday, Aug. 12 at Rexall Place. British duo Royal Blood will open.
Come the new year, Catalyst Theatre will be onstage in New York. The Edmonton theatre company's much-awarded original creation, Nevermore: The Imaginary Life And Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe, returns to Manhattan where it played at the New Victory Theatre for 13 performances in 2010.
Are you ready for five weeks worth of Christmas music? If you overlook the holiday tunes already playing in every shopping mall, we can declare that the seasonal concert season is about to get underway, dedicated to the happiest time of the year in this city.

Nothing like going out with a bang, eh?
For three summers, 2006 to 2008, Fringe audiences saw something they just weren't used to, in a quarter-century of fringing. Something so old-fashioned, so unapologetically traditional, it was downright radical.

Ainsley Hillyard of the Good Women Dance Collective has moved from someone to watch to someone you can't take your eyes off.

Discovering you have a new and marketable skill is an excellent thing. That's especially true when you're well into your current career and looking to pad your resume. So you can understand why Sam Roberts is happy to learn that, after a decade in the rock business, he has a skill he was previously unaware of — one that can be affixed to his band's latest release Lo-Fantasy.
One is embarking on an extended farewell tour, while the other is apparently beginning a new chapter in a very long career.
History doesn't sneak into the theatre this week; it sails onto the stage, expansive in girth and gloriously costumed. You'll never see a more insightful, more magical, more comically astute version of Twelfth Night than the one that arrives here onscreen direct from London's South Bank Saturday morning.
To anyone walking alone down a frozen-stiff Jasper Avenue in the night, this painting is a luminous beacon glowing in the window of Front Gallery. It would be odd if anyone seeing it didn't hear the wail of its approaching train in their heads.
Latching on to the roots scene developing in Berkeley, where musicians like John Lee Hooker and Country Joe and the Fish were hanging out, Commander Cody and his Modern Day Airmen developed a sound that encompassed rockabilly, jump blues, country, folk, and swing music. They only managed one Top 10 hit out of it — their cover of Hot Rod Lincoln in 1971 — and the original band fractured after their manager absconded with all their money in 1976.
The Smalls aren't the only local reunited legends hitting the stage this week.
Given how long it takes to write and publish a book, there's often a bit of ceremony involved once authors finally receive their finished copies in the mail. So it went for Ted Bishop, whose previous work, 2005's Riding with Rilke, won the City of Edmonton Book Award and was shortlisted for a Governor General's Award. But given the subject matter of his new book — a hybrid biography/travel book entitled The Social Life of Ink (Viking) — he wanted to give it a thematically appropriate flourish. That's why the inside cover of his copy now reads: "Ted Bishop, October 2014. The first copy (inscribed with my homemade gallnut ink and a speedball pen)."

Roy Oswalt doesn't want to go to Philly
Jul 26, 2010, 3:11 PM EST
While a trade of Roy Oswalt to the Cardinals is looking more and more problematic, it may not be nearly as problematic as a trade to his other often-rumored destination: Philadelphia. Why? Rosenthal and Morosi report that Roy Oswalt simply doesn't want to go the Phillies, they say, citing "a source with direct knowledge of his thinking."
This is not a total surprise. The source I spoke with last week about Oswalt's preference for St. Louis didn't specifically say that Oswalt had ruled out the Phillies, but based on how emphatic the suggestion was that he wants to go to the Cardinals, it may not have been crazy to draw such an assumption.
Based on the fact that the team he wants to join won't pay the price Ed Wade is asking and the team that might pay that price is on Oswalt's poop-list, it may very well be the case that old Roy goes absolutely nowhere.
- Jonny5 - Jul 26, 2010 at 3:49 PM
Well………. Fvck him too….. We'll see if he'd rather stay in "going nowhere fast" Houston. That doesn't make much sense to me since no one has spoken like that since the days of Rowand. It's good enough for Roy Halladay but not Roy Oswalt? Hmmm?
- JimmyY - Jul 26, 2010 at 4:06 PM
Oswalt either has to suffer the consequences of getting paid so much for an awful team, or, heaven forbid, GIVE MONEY BACK in order to go somewhere else. No one's going to take him with that God-awful salary, but hey, you signed on the dotted line and there's no way he'd accept less so too bad. Unless someone's stupid enough to restructure over say 30 years, something like Bobby Bonilla getting paid like $1 million/yr by the Mets until like 2019. HAHAHAHA.
- Reflex - Jul 26, 2010 at 4:09 PM
Who can blame him? Were I a player I wouldn't want to go to the east coast for one, and given that, Philly specifically. Of course I wouldn't want to go to Detroit either, man that town is a mess. Roy's from Mississippi, and while I'm sure he'd like to hit the playoffs, I doubt he wants to go if it means he's miserable with his living situation. One thing I've learned is that quality of life means as much as salary or career advancement, and you couldn't get me off the west coast for any amount of cash or opportunity.
- Old Gator - Jul 26, 2010 at 4:34 PM
Maybe he has a cholesterol issue and doesn't want to be fed all those horrible horsemeat and velveeta sandwiches up there. The Feelies seem to be finding themselves lately and gearing up for a real run – surprising only in that it took them this long. I guess drinking all those canola oil and EDT cocktails finally loosened up their arteries enough to go for it.
- G2 - Jul 26, 2010 at 4:58 PM
I wanted Haren. I never wanted Oswalt.
Now I hope he gets traded to an AL team and he has to pitch in CBP in the world series.
(Mainly because that would mean that the Phillies are in the world series, it would be nice to see the phillies fans make him cry too, but really just want the phillies to get to the WS)
- The Rabbit - Jul 26, 2010 at 6:03 PM
Gator, Horsemeat and velveeta sandwiches are for tourists. In my house, it's shaved prime rib and provolone on homebaked Italian rolls….and the natives know where to find them in Philly.
- kyle s - Jul 26, 2010 at 6:05 PM
"direct knowledge of his thinking"
you mean like a psychic?
- mekono - Jul 26, 2010 at 6:12 PM
Did I miss something? I realize that the Astros are not very good, but this pitcher has lost twice as many games as he has won, has had a haed time staying off the DL, and from what I have been able to read, has a fragile psyche when it comes to the media.
Easy decision Amaro, stay away.
- Old Gator - Jul 26, 2010 at 7:14 PM
Perhaps like a programmer? Maybe Oswalt is really an Idoru.
- bigtrav425 - Jul 26, 2010 at 7:39 PM
Well if he wants to stay with the astro's who are going nowhere and just make money then good for him! other then that it sounds like he might be a lil bit of a wuss! Worried about being booed by the fans! Grow a set Roy!

Great Central location, spacious room, clean and well-ordered.
Close location to Charing Cross station, still a distance from Central station (up on hill). Near the King's theatre though we didn't catch any show. Helpful staff.
Bathroom door not easy to close, toilet was hard to flush. No hairdryer though booking mentioned there is.
Staff really friendly. Will stay again
Good value for money. Handy for Sauchiehall Street end of the town.
free wi-fi is a joke, you need to pay if you want any speed
I thought this hotel was good value with friendly staff.
I did not like the parking situation which was pay / meters .
I had a pleasant stay! Felt welcomed and comfortable thanks to the extremely polite and helpful staff. Room and bathroom were comfortable and always clean. Breakfast was quite good and location quite good as well.
wifi policy of low quality free internet is unbelievable, you cannot even browse the web properly, skype is off the question! another negative aspect is that you can hear almost everything through the walls/ceiling.
Comfortable bed! Good Location! Decent breakfast! Nice staff!
Shower could have been cleaner!
Excellent location for ABC Academy (3 mins walk).
Parking was a bit of a trek but apart from that good, standard, business style hotel.
Good location, staff pretty good, friendly. Rooms spotless and breakfast excellent. Great value for money.
Hotel pre-authorised my bank card and held the total cost of hotel. Upon arrival I actually paid cash and asked for them to release the money held in my bank. I had to remind them several times, money took nearly a week to b released. Not good practice!!
Easy walk to city centre, lots of restaurants and pubs within walking distance.
We have stayed at this hotel numerous times,I find the staff helpful,the hotel location good a great buffet breakfast,I would recommend this hotel
Loved the location and functional room.
Liked everything
Very friendly welcome and my room was changed to give me a double bed (as opposed to two single beds) as my travelling companion had had to drop out at the last minute. Yummy breakfast
all fine
nothing, it was fine
Great location Good value 24 hr bar
Wifi code kept disappearing
Nothing in particular
The carpet was so stained I wouldn't walk on it bare foot and i didn't like the toilet cubicle rather than a real bathroom
Location, value for money, friendly staff
Breakfast/lounge area clean but basic -not much character.
everything, we stay here regularly. great for going to Kings Theatre, shops just a 10 min walk away, pubs and restuarants closeby.
Location of hotel was far enough away from centre to be quiet yet not too far to walk.
There wasnt anything I didnt like.
Easy access directly from the airport per shuttle (stop 2 side streets away); good location (bars, restaurants, shopping mile nearby; room rather standard but clean and not too small;
most of the IBIS have standardized bathrooms (lots of plastic) - but manageable anyways; would always skip the optional breakfast - there are lots of nicer places nearby (5 mins walk)
Location & price.
quick check-in - no hassle - quiet hotel - location
My friend and I stayed there after a night at the EMA's. The staff were excellent. Room clean and comfortable Staff really made the stay. Andy billy and rad defo a credit to the hotel
Wifi didn't work was able to log to network but nothing on my phone refreshed or worked
internet didn't work
Good central location, clean tidy room
Noise! Hotel staff shouting at residents next to us at 4:00am. Same residents loud and shouting from 4:00-8:00am. No sleep was had on our floor.
