Two frequent fliers are suing American Airlines over the suspension of their unlimited lifetime airpasses, purchased in 1987. Sixty-six people bought the AAirpass for $350,000 before the program was discontinued. Steve Rothstein has flown nearly 40 million miles on American Airlines' dime since buying his pass. AAirpass holders became American Airline VIPs, with virtually unlimited first class flight options for themselves and a companion.
"I would put in little pins when I went to places. Here's Zurich. Frankfort. Munich. France. All places that I went to dozens and dozens of times," Rothstein told ABC News' John Berman. "London. Probably five or six hundred trips in my lifetime. My shampoo all came from London for the last 30 years."
But there's "unlimited" ... and then there's "unlimited." Three years ago American cracked down, canceling his airpass after an investigation found the airlines was losing millions of dollars to these extreme frequent fliers. The airline also says Rothstein abused the system by booking flights he never planned to use. Rothstein says he didn't do anything wrong, and is suing the airline to get his pass back.
Another AAirpass holder, Jacques Vroom was also investigated by the airline and had his pass revoked. Vroom is also suing American to get his pass back. A spokeswoman for American said cases like Rothstein's and Vroom's are an extremely small percentage of overall AAirpass accounts, but fraudulent activity cost all of AA's customers money.
Litigation is currently on hold, due to American's Chapter 11 filing late in 2011.

Benefits of exercising at home
As our lives get busier, it's difficult to find time to exercise. However, exercising at home has many benefits. With an increasing number of people working from home, there are many temptations and distractions preventing people from doing even a small amount of exercise each week. We're often told we need to exercise more. So what are the real benefits of exercising at home?
Physical Benefits of Exercising At Home
The obvious benefits of exercising at home are physical ones. You can prevent many illnesses by staying fit and maintaining a healthy body weight. Diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and osteoporosis are just some of the health problems you can easily avoid by exercising at home.
Staying fit while you work at home keeps you looking younger and you will have healthier hair and skin. This is due to increases in nutrients and oxygen that get transported to your hair and skin when you increase your physical activity. Regularly exercising at home also leads to leaner muscles. Muscle burns more calories than body fat, so the leaner you are, the easier it is to stay toned and maintain a healthy body weight.
Psychological Benefits of Regular Exercise at Home
They say if you have a healthy body, you'll have a healthy mind. If you're physically active while you work at home, your energy levels will increase. This means you have extra energy to live a more productive and enjoyable life.
If you get into the habit of exercising at home you will be more alert, have less fatigue and more stamina. This increase in energy also boosts your self esteem and helps reduce stress. Your working life should benefit too with improved memory, problem solving ability and creativity all thanks to regular exercise at home.
Self-discipline is a key characteristic of successful individuals who work from home. This quality can make or break a home-run business. Staying fit by exercising at home makes it easier for you to concentrate and focus on your day-to-day activities.
Financial Benefits
When there's a downturn in the economy, most people look for ways to spend less money. Gym membership is expensive. In some cases, people working from home pay for gym memberships, only to stop going after a few weeks. This money could be spent on more important things. If you get into a routine of exercising at home you could eventually buy fitness equipment that costs less than joining a gym in the long run. With a wide range of home fitness products to choose from, it's possible to build up a comprehensive exercise area to work-out in from the comfort of your home.
Working from home has many benefits, but one area of our lives that often suffers is our health and wellbeing. Exercising at home or in your office is the solution to this problem, allowing you to live a fuller life with a healthier body and healthier mind.
5 good reasons to use WordPress
You may be in the process of deciding what online publishing platform to use. With so many options available, it's difficult to choose the one to suit your requirements. The good news is you no longer have to spend large amounts of money on expensive web designers. Modern website software also makes it easier for non-technical individuals to install and maintain professional looking websites. One of the most popular platforms available today is WordPress, but why has it become so popular? The following are 5 reasons why so many people prefer WordPress:
WordPress is affordable. It's an open-source application and is free to install on your server. The only expense you have is the cost of hosting and domain registration. Even if you decide to extend your WordPress website, many of the components (also known as plugins) are free or cost very little to install. They are easy to install. This means you don't have to hire a website designer to add functionality.
WordPress is easy to install, use and maintain. A large number of WordPress administrators have very little technical knowledge. This ease-of-use is one of the main reasons so many people prefer this platform. You can have a new website up-and-running in half an hour or less.
Its community gives you excellent support and regular upgrades. After you install a new website, you want to know there will be some type of support system if things go wrong. In many cases, you're on your own once your site goes live. However, this is not the case with WordPress. Its' large number of users has resulted in a large community of people who develop, test and use this system. If you encounter any problems there's a large number of people you can turn to for help. There is a high possibility that any problems you experience have happened to others. WordPress also frequently gets upgraded and these upgrades are easily installed from your WordPress administration panel.
Plugins make it easy to add new functionality. Plugins are software components that extend the functionality of WordPress. WordPress plugin have been developed to increase security, improve administration functionality, content sharing, search engine optimization and increase other functionality. These components are easy to install and you don't have to get help from a website developer. As the internet evolves, WordPress plugins are being developed and upgraded to adapt to current technology trends.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Website Structure are key features of WordPress.Search engine traffic is important for most online businesses. It's structured in a way that makes it easy for search engines to find your content and index it. To make your website even more search engine friendly there's also a range of plugins that help optimize your website even more. The result of this optimization is an increase in visitors interested in your content.
WordPress has become one of the world's most popular website platforms. It's affordable, easy-to-use, provides excellent support, can be easily extended and is search engine friendly. All of these qualities make it the perfect choice if you'll be building your own websites in the near future.

Is The Budget Balanced
MADISON, Wis. (AP) Whether Wisconsin's state budget is truly balanced depends on the measure used to analyze it. Gov. Scott Walker has touted for months that he and Republicans in control of the Legislature balanced the state budget through the normal measure of cash accounting. But as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday (http://tiny.cc/zvh4r ) his administration also told the federal government last month that the budget is not balanced when using a different accounting method that takes into account pending expenses. Under that method, known as ``generally accepted accounting principles,'' the state has a deficit. When using that measure, the state's budget has been in deficit for years including when Democrat Jim Doyle was governor. Democrats accuse Walker of double speak.
Walker Raises Over 5 Million For Campaign
Thanks to a loophole in Wisconsin elections law, Governor Scott Walker can raise unlimited amounts of money to defend himself in a recall election........the typical limit for gubernatorial races is $10 thousand. Walker raised $5.1 million dollars between July 1st and December 10th. A major advantage in his recall election?
UW-L Political Professor, Joe Heim. Out of state donors accounted for almost half of the money raised so far by Walker, according to campaign finance records.
Democratic Lawmakers Out of Loop on Mining Bill
A vote expected this week in Madison on a pro-business mining bill that could have far-reaching impacts throughout the state of Wisconsin. The bill is meant to help locate an iron ore mine locate in northern Wisconsin. Maybe. Kind of hard to say from the minority democrat side of the aisle, says Onalaska state rep, Steve Doyle
Critics worry that the mining bill could restrict public input on any new mine in the state.
Harter Mum on Pay Cut Proposal
There might be several referendum questions facing La Crosse voters when they go to the polls in April. Depends on whether the city council overrides mayor Matt Harter's vetoes of three advisory measures. One referendum for sure; a binding one on whether the city should have a city administrator. The council votes next month on cutting the mayor's salary in half if that gets approved. Harter says he'd rather not comment on the salary issue
Advisory referendum questions vetoed by the mayor involve billboards and city council size.

To Ted Landau, an Apple-branded television seemed like a bad idea. That was months ago. Now, Ted reverses course and concludes that an Apple-branded television could well be the company's next game-changing product.
iTunes Wi-Fi Sync & Back Up: Fail (& Workaround)
Overall, iOS 5's new Wi-Fi syncing works spectacularly well. However, there is one significant glitch. With Wi-Fi sync enabled and iTunes left open, your iOS device will stop backing up to your Mac when syncing! Ted Landau explains the issues.
The Complete Guide to iOS 5's New and "Hidden" Settings
Want to know about every (almost every?) iOS 5-specific option contained in the Settings app? This article is what you've been seeking. While a few of the new options are only relevant to selected iOS devices (Siri is only on the iPhone 4S, as one obvious example), most of then work on all devices capable of running iOS 5.
The End of Movie Extras?
In yet another example of the film industry getting it wrong, Ted Landau notes that the "extras" are now gone from rented DVDs of recent movies.
Keynote Disappoints, iPhone 4S Does Not
Ted Landau's initial reaction to this week's Apple keynote media event was disappointment. But not because there was no iPhone 5. Rather, it was because Apple didn't give the iPhone 4S the showcase it deserved.
iOS Needs a "Universal Save"
Apple may think that the idea of sandboxing apps in iOS and quarantining files within those apps is a splendid idea, Ted Landau takes exception. In this installment of the User Friendly View, he argues that Apple needs to add a Unversal Save feature to iOS to overcome this limitation.
Netflix's Troubles Are a Self-Made PR Disaster
With the poorly handled announcement of its price increase and its just announced split into Netflix/Qwikster, it would be easy to ridicule Netflix. And yet…the company is facing a difficult dilemma with no clear sure-fire solutions. Ted Landau explains…
iOS File Sharing Unleashed!
When Apple introduced iOS 5 and iCloud at the WWDC last June, it promised to "cut the cord" that bound iOS devices to the Mac. With that in mind, Ted Landau asks: "Is there a way to cut the cord for file transfers among iOS devices of all iOS files — including iOS app package and system files?" The answer is a resounding yes! The one caveat is that you will have to jailbreak your iOS devices.
Ethernet Rules!
Ethernet? Bah! An archaic technology born before the Macintosh, it should now be on its deathbed — at least for home users. To set up an Ethernet network requires…a whole lot of stuff! So why not go with Wi-Fi entirely? Wi-Fi is more convenient — and much less expensive. End of story! Or so Ted Landau thought…
Steve Jobs & Apple: Past, Present, Future
Looking back in time through the lenses of rose-colored glasses, it may seem that Steve Jobs's genius was recognized from the very beginning. With the glasses off, the harder truth becomes apparent. Ted Landau looks back at the not always rosy past, the incredible present and the uncertain future of Apple — in the wake of Steve Jobs' resignation as CEO.

"I actually bought 2 sets of these to go with some invitations I ordered and to use for everyday. They are so lovely - high quality, easy to read and overall the best labels I've ever purchased."
"I used these labels for our RSVP envelopes. They came out beautifully. For the name section we used my last name - my fiance's last name. Matches our invitations and was a great item to tie the theme all together. The price for these labels is very reasonable. Would highly recommend."
"Thought it would be a nice added touch for the envelope. I cut the labels and used the part with the return address on the front of envelope and the other part on the back flap of the envelope. Will use this on my invitations."
"I fell in love with this design and color scheme. Getting married this summer, our names on the label will be a lovely gift to my groom."
"I love these! Our friends and family were so impressed. I loved that I was able to find address labels that kept with our garden/flower theme. It made things so much easier and looked so classy! 10/10 would order again or suggest to a friend!"

The South East England region
Brighton & Hove is the premier City by the Sea, otherwise known as `London by the Sea' Ideally located with the Sea on our South boundary and the South Downs National Park on our Northern perimeter. Beautiful villages nestle along the coastline and inland with wonderful views, each community bound together with its own traditions, whether it be markets, Country Fayres, Historical buildings, ancient monuments.
Take a stroll in the country side, or along the promenade. Sky dive from the hills or surf the waves. Experience an evening in an `Olde-Worlde' Country pub on a warm summer's evening, or join the merriment, and variety of City pubs and clubs.
What ever puts a smile on your face and a good feeling inside, you will find it here in our City by the Sea.
Brighton and Hove
Zion Gardens is the most central location in Brighton situated between Brighton Station, The Clock Tower and West Street rolling down to the sea. The property has it's own private off street parking space - a big bonus in such a busy main stream location.
The North Laines, Churchill Shopping Mall, Theatre Royal and the Royal Pavilion are just at your finger tips. Even night clubs are within walking distance, yet once inside you can leave the hustle and bustle outside the door.
Commuting around the City other than by walking couldn't be easier with a continuous stream of Buses and taxis

"Great Weekend, Great Space"
I have very recently stayed at 8 Zion Gardens for my sisters Hen weekend. The accommodation suited us perfectly, great base to explore Brighton being very central and close to the Station. Really good… More

The Weekly Geek: The Ada Initiative
Are you ready to hear the most uplifting story to come out of a very unfortunate and totally sexist incident so far this week? Meet Valerie Aurora and Mary Gardiner, founders of the Ada Initiative (named after female computer science pioneer Ada Lovelace), after hearing about yet another incident of a woman being groped at a tech convention.
If you're a lady nerd of any sort, you're probably all-too familiar with this sort of bad behavior. It comes with the territory of being a tiny minority at a tech conference (or gaming/fandom meet up of many kinds), and it so aggravated these two women that they decided to stand up and do something about it: They've created a network for women who work with open source technology. Power to the people!
From The Mary Sue:
"I think part of what happens in some of these fields [like open source is that] you have a really extreme minority of women and you get the outsider status that's associated with being an extreme minority," said Gardiner. "People at Linux.conf.au have started it calling it being a unicorn. I think someone last year actually had their camera and would take pictures of women [when they spotted some]."
I've been called a unicorn before (at E3, in fact), so I can confirm this happens in all walks of nerd-dom.
"We believe that open technology and culture has a higher leverage affect on society as a whole," said Aurora. "So it's like we can say 'Oh well what we really need to do is fix sexism in society overall,' and then we can say 'Well look if we're writing Wikipedia, if we're writing the software that everybody uses, if we're creating what's on the internet and setting the culture on the internet, which spreads to everybody, then we are changing sexism in society at large.'"
Of course, with any one particular segment of society, there's no consensus about the situation at hand.
"There's a wide range of opinion among women and open source and women in open stuff in general about what we should do and what approach we should take. Whether we should just hide ourselves and pretend nothing's wrong, or never, never talk about the gender gap problem," said Aurora. "Our guideline is that you believe women should have equal rights and that participating in technology is important other than that we have a lot of different people with different opinions."
If you like what these women are doing, you can head on over to their website to find out more – and you can even donate or support them if you're so inclined.

A word from Hitching Post II
Here, on the Central Coast of California, BBQ has always meant grilling over an open fire of red oak, a style of cooking that is native to our area and goes back to the days of the Spanish Rancheros. By combining the old and the new, we have created an exciting cuisine with outstanding steaks, ribs and chicken, along with fresh fish and seafood and vegetarian options. We also create our own (world class) wines for sale in the restaurant and to the public. Hartley Ostini Hitching Post Wines have garnered an excellent reputation. Try them here or purchase on our website for your enjoyment at home.Continued

- Great Steaks!!drrobdcDined on 11/22/2014Old school atmosphere with wonderful food! The steaks are great and the sides are yummy. We were too full for dessert but shared one anyway. A special place we use for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Best of Everything!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/22/2014The very best customer service, the best Ribeye I've ever had, the very best wine, and the best desserts. This was my third time and it never disappoints. I love being able to watch the chef's expertise at grilling all the wonderful steaks and seafood. The grilled artichoke is a must have. All around the best dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent quality!TootsieDined on 11/21/2014I have eaten at steak restaurants across the country, many famous ones, the quality and preparation here is by far the best! Exceptional quality, flavor, preparation and service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hearty Happy Hour!MollyKampDined on 11/18/2014We were visiting the wine country during the week and were able to enjoy their wonderful burgers and fries for $12. and they also have a steak sandwich available in the bar! Service was excellent as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The BEST place to eat ever!Geekgirl12Dined on 11/15/2014I absolutely love this place! Always a good time and the wine is spectacular. From what I've been told I thoroughly enjoyed my food :) Every time we go to Buellton/Solvang/Los Olivos area, we always stop at the Hitching Post for our dinner. The qual is delicious and the steaks are cooked to perfection with mouth watering goodness.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't have dinner, bar is just OK Tourist Trap.NonyaVIPDined on 11/12/2014Waitress was rude and didn't listen to the order. Brought fries with filet mignon. The meat portion was thin and small. The wine was just OK too. Had to wait at the table for the check for over 30 min AFTER the meal. This is a tourist trap and they are so understaffed and rude that I will highly recommend you go some place else.
- Great Experience at a Sideways Location!IoneTaylorVIPDined on 11/10/2014My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday and see the restaurant made famous in the movie Sideways. We were not disappointed. The ambiance was old school and small town, evoking memories of our childhoods in other similar restaurants, but it didn't feel old and worn. The service was great. We ordered a bottle of pinot noir and were very happy with it. We started with the quail legs appetizer called hot legs, which was rich and spicy. We shared the rib chop, which was plenty for the two us - we even had leftovers to take home. The rib chop was perfectly prepared to our specifications. We ended with dessert: chocolate cake for me and key lime pie for my husband. The chocolate cake was good, but not scrumptious. Afterwards we went home and watched the movie Sideways for the first time since it came out ten years ago, which made us excited about returning for another delicious meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meat HeavendanaDined on 11/8/2014Let's be honest, the steaks are unmatched by any other restaurant. The magic dust is remarkable and perfect flavors each piece of meat that comes out of that kitchen.Special Features:
- Old and NewsfrefugeeDined on 11/7/2014How many places still serve relish trays before the first course? Then they served the best piece of seared Ahi that I can remember having. Perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. Friendly staff. Knowing and experieinced waitress backed up by attentive bussers. All in all a very pleasant dining experience.Special Features:
- willnotgobackDined on 10/29/2014VERY noisy, VERY expensive for average food, very slow service.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014Great fun, nice people, and most of all the steak and wines were awesome!Special Features:
- usetothinkIcouldgrillDined on 10/25/2014The juiciest most flavorful steak I have ever had. A gem of the valley. A must stop for any special occasion. Oh, and the cheese cake it's to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This restaurant went "Sideways"camarillokidDined on 10/25/2014For my wife's birthday, I took her up to Solvang for a romantic weekend, including a meal at the Hitching Post. Reservation was for 7:15, we arrived @ 6:50, hoping for an early seating. NOT A CHANCE. We weren't seated til almost 7:30. Once seated, the dining room was very noisy; we couldn't have a conversation without shouting. Our sever was excellent. The food was good, not great. Overall, not worth the value for what I paid. One gets the impression that one is dining at the Hitching Post at their permission, not that they should be serving you.
- Hitching Post Worth The TripGreg41Dined on 10/25/2014Our dining experience at The Hitching Post was outstanding. Service was excellent and the food was delivered promptly in courses from the relish dish to the appetizer, soup, salad and the dinner plate. High Recommendation. Return? YES!Special Features:
- PerfectionluvfoodDined on 10/25/2014The Top Sirloin.....Perfection! Great place for a special occasionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best place so far on our tripEastcoastDined on 10/23/2014We have been traveling from Pheonix to San francisco. Have stopped at several steak places but this place had everything. The steaks were absolutely fantastic cooked perfectly, baked potato, salad and the soup. Our waitress Jackie was wonderful she had everything timed perfectly so we didn't wait between courses and we were not rushed. I would recommend this place in a heart beat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hitching Post IITravel2eatDined on 10/22/2014Simply the best streak house and the best house wine!!Special Features:
- Another Nice DinnerfoodforthoughtVIPDined on 10/22/2014After going here over 15 years, the food, wine, service are always consistently very good. Pasilla pepper is great; we had a good filet and rack of lamb; apple tart was terrific. Owners and staff are always friendly. It's worth our drive from Montecito.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- second time there, i recommendOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/19/2014Love the food and wine - best cheesecake and chocolat cakeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous !DelishDined on 10/18/2014We enjoy dinner at the Hitching Post every year (for the last 8 years). We never had a bad meal here and the wait staff is just super nice. Try their Prime Flat Iron steak and the Rib Eye (one of their specials) - you will so not regret it. The meat has that smoky taste to it - perfect. Their wine list is superb and any drink from the bar will want you to have another one. Will be back next year.Special Features:
- AspenDined on 10/18/2014Was in the area on a weekend trip; had Saturday night reservations. Prices are high, but the quality is outstanding ~ best steak I have ever had! Ample portions and everything is fresh; loved the relish tray which is something you rarely see in restaurants any more. Could view the cooking area from my table which was an added treat. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Overall, a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 2WineLoversDined on 10/17/2014We are fans of the movie Sideways. Remembering that this was a famous spot from the movie, Miles' favorite spot and where he meets Maya. We figured we had to give it a go. - Service was wonderful. Our waitress probably touched our table about every 7-8 minutes. She saw when we needed items and brought them without us having to ask for them. - The steaks were delicious. Loved the smokey oak flavoring from the BBQ. A different, yet welcomed, flavor than what you get from a steak house like Mortons, Flemings, or Donovan's. - We tried the Hitching Post's Cabernet Sauvignon. Ehh,that left a little to be desired. It was not great, just OK. Thankfully.....the food and service was way better. We'd definitely go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DB2503Dined on 10/16/2014I was with a group of 4 guys on a golf weekend and made sure we visitied Hitching Post II for dinner due a previous great experience. We ate at the bar and the service, food, and wine was excellent. Will be coming back again when in that area again for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Superbfansofhitchingpost2Dined on 10/16/2014We only get to come occasionally from Monterey as we pass through for a night and we always eat there. My filet mignon was cut with a fork and my wifes flat iron was the same way. Sat near the chef's window and enjoyed watching him cook and we took several pictures , even got invited back with the chef for a picture. Our waitress was the best ever, she had a great sense of humor. Smiling always, suggestions for wine was spot on - she made our evening sooooo enjoyable. Enjoyed the table of (12) next to us because of the waitress. Thank you for another amazing evening. Oh and lets not forget the bar area and bar staff they were also the best and knowledgeable of all wines.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious, both food and wine.Charmed9Dined on 10/15/2014This is my second time in the Buellton/Solvang area and after eating at the Hitching Post II the first time through, felt it was a "must stop" the second time around. I was not disappointed. I went with a group of friends so our meals ranged from fish to steak and everyone loved the preparation and taste. We also ordered wine with our meals and bought a few bottles to take home. The HP Rose is perfect for both white and red palates and the Pinot Noir is their specialty. I'll likely be back in the area in 2015 and will make this a priority stop once again.Special Features:
- Simply delicious ...ShaeDined on 10/13/2014The steaks: DELICIOUS!! Ambiance: rustic, rancher, wooden cabin feel Service: depends on who you get. Ranges from satisfactory to great. I like being able to see into the kitchen from Theron dining room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but expensive foodGS4DinerVIPDined on 10/11/2014We enjoyed the scene and wonderful steak at Hitching Post II, but found it far more expensive than we recall paying at Hitching Post I about seven years ago. The wine, however, was much better.Special Features:
- server ChrisOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/11/2014Outstanding service from Chris!!!! so often people on the "front lines" dont get the credit desert.!!! He was fantastic!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great service decent foodVeniceButterflyDined on 10/10/2014I was a little dissapointed by the steak. The appetizers were great and the quail is fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't miss it!OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 10/9/2014We finally visited and were not disappointed! What a place to eat meat, but don't forget to order the chocolate layer cake...to die for!!!Special Features:
- ajm1154Dined on 10/9/2014First time, Ambiance lacking. There were 4 of us and no one enjoyed the "special" goat cheese salad. 2 of the 4 steaks were acceptable. The food was very overpriced. My filet was dry but I am not one to complain so when the (very cheerful) waitress took away the plates she did not seem to notice that 90% f my steak was untouched. My check for 2 was $120.00 inc. tip and 1 glass of house wine, for that price I can get a great filet at Ruths Chris and for another $30.00 could have had a great steak at Maestros.
- Consistently great!N2FotosDined on 10/6/2014A gem in the Santa Ynez Valley! We were finally up there on a Monday so I could get the great burger in the bar that I've heard so much about! And it did not disappoint . . . super yummy! My husband's Ono fish was also great and a nice portion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great steak and wine!AndrewVIPDined on 10/5/2014Awesome appetizers, extremely tender steaks, and stellar pinot noirs. Service is friendly. Highly recommend!Special Features:
- Love this place!!CampbellGirlDined on 10/3/2014Awesome experience overall! Would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area. The food, wine, and service were all fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bobbyVIPDined on 10/1/2014Always enjoy! They were out of artichokes which was a bummer! But had the filet which was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor. The other star of the meal were the mushrooms the BEST!!! Dip with bread and could almost make a meal out of that! Too full for dessert!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful BBQ flavorValligirlDined on 9/30/2014We thought this place had typical BBQ sauce type food but not at all. The salmon and filet we had there had a surprising "oak wood" flavor. Best salmon I've had. It's not a fancy place so go comfortable, the deli tray was different too, instead of just bread and butter or crackers. It's a definite stop going through Buelton or Solvang, Ca.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HP 2 Food=good service=badchiefDined on 9/30/2014The Hitching Post II was recommended by several colleagues we were visiting about 30 miles away so we made a reservation for a group of 10. The attitude of the wait staff was not great prior to ordering but it went down hill from there.
- HP2 a hit and a missmalinatrDined on 9/29/2014We were there on a Monday night which happened to be burger night. It was pretty crowded but fortunately we had reservations. Seeing how expensive the steaks were (Ruth's Chris territory) we went with the steakhouse burgers which were pretty good. Somehow the owners think they can get away with not investing one cent into décor as the carpets and window treatments are shabby and clearly 30 years old. The server was very nice and the wine list featured many good local wines albeit for $15 a glass and up. Overall we enjoyed ourselves but the menu and wine list are a total mismatch with the décor and atmosphere. Fancy Steakhouse or Divey Road House?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The good old daysFirsttimerDined on 9/27/2014This place is a throwback reminds of places we went to years ago good food very busy dated decor average pricesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

In the '90's I was fortunate enough to live in the Alley Pond Co-op. I recall that one Sunday afternoon in 1995(?) many emergency vehicles converged on Union Tpke & the GCP. I couldn't see much from the living room window so I tuned my radio to News Radio 88 which informed me that a light aircraft had crash landed on the Cleraview Expressway at the GCP/Union Tpke/Clearview junction. The pilot had wa;lked away & no injuries were reported but it really interupted a quiet Sunday afternoon in my Bayside neighborhood.

FORT MYRES, Fla.- Boston Red Sox players are raising money for the new Golisano Children's Hospital.
The Boston Red Sox Diamond Dinner at JetBlue Park gave guests the opportunity to have dinner at the park Tuesday night and chat with many of the players.
Their goal is to raise $400,000 with the help of the players, who are very active in the community.
"They do a lot of community service, they support a lot of our local charities. Outside of the children's hospital, they support the Boys and Girls Scouts and other charities in town as well," said Sharon MacDonald with Lee Memorial Health System.
Tom Golisano himself will also match all the funds raised. The new Golisano Children's Hospital is expected tobreak ground this fall.

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
1 Nimitz, Sun, 16th May '10 5:32:09 PM from Netherlands Antilles
here for the first entry! Hey everyone. Welcome to my LP of Jagged Alliance 2◊. The Jagged Alliance series has always been a favorite of mine. It basically takes the gameplay of X-COM and refines it. The result is a turn-based strategy game that is polished, realistic, and above all, fun as hell. Vanilla JA 2 is fun all by itself, but I'm going to play it with the 1.13 & HAM patches. It enhances the game with a ton of new features, like adding new weapons and ammo types, fixing bugs, improving the AI, adding a suppression mechanic, and so on. I'd go so far to say that the 1.13/HAM patches are essential for anyone who has JA 2. This will be a video LP, but this entry will only contain pics for convenience. When you choose to start a new game, you get to choose some options that change how you play the game. Here's how I'm playing it. The game provides a decent challenge on Experienced. Bobby Ray's is the game's main gun store, and I've never played with the setting above normal. Iron Man mode is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Any merc who dies in battle will stay dead, unless I screw up royally and get stuck. As for Game Style, sci-fi has you encounter insectoid monsters called the Crepitus in Cambria (I think), while Realistic gets rid of them. We'll choose the former 'cause it's more fun that way. :) I never played with the Inventory System setting on old, and I don't plan on doing so. Items is self explanatory. So, when we start, we find out that a man named Enrico Chivaldori wants us to liberate his country of Arulco. He used to be its ruler, but he was overthrown by the eeeeevil Queen Deidranna and was exiled. Now, he wants me to take it back, and to do that, I'll need to hire some mercenaries. We're treated with the sight of our laptop, and when we look at our links, we see only one entry called A.I.M.◊ Anyone who played the first Jagged Alliance should know about it. Their roster is quite extensive.◊ However, we're not gonna hire any of these mercs...not yet, anyway. We've got a new e-mail, let's see what it is...oooh. Very interesting.◊ That's right people, you can create custom mercs in this game.◊ Who's going to be these mercs? Why, you are, of course! That is, if you're interested. There are five steps in the creation of a custom merc. First, your name and gender.◊ Second, your◊ appearance. Just tell me what you want your character to look like. I'll find the closest equivalent. Oh, there are three voices for each gender, meaning we can only have three mercs of each gender. Again, tell me what you want your character to sound like, and I'll try to find the voice that matches best. Third, your traits◊ and disabilities. These affect your abilities in battle. I think the traits affect performance in a passive manner, but disabilities have a more noticeable effect. For example, a merc that is forgetful may forget his orders, and a psychotic merc will sometimes go a little crazy with the trigger. Fourth, your specialties.◊ You can have up to two, but if you only choose one, you get an expert rating with that specialty, and if you don't choose any, you get fifty extra points to spend on your skills. (That's 100) The specialties are pretty useful, though, so don't ignore them right off the bat. A merc with the Night Operations specialty will be much more observant at night, spotting enemies before they see him, and Auto Weapons allows a merc to have better control when firing at full auto, which means he won't lose as much accuracy and he won't fire more shots than he intended to as often as someone without it. Finally, your skills.◊ These are self-explanatory. You don't have to calculate how many points you should spend. Just tell me what you want to be best at. So that's it. Once again, I can have three males and three females. The next update will be a video, and it will come once I have six custom mercs. Hope you enjoy! Hired mercs IMP Mercs (6/6 slots filled)

$50 a day, plus expensesAw, man! I was thinking of LPing this game, but you beat me to it! Ah, well. Where's this HAM patch? Sounds like even more improvements over 1.13, which I have played with. I wonder what the "new" inventory system means. Anyways, for my merc? Name: Ashley Wells
Nickname: Ash
Gender: Female Portrait: The blond girl just previous to the portrait you start with, right after the girl with short red hair and a tank top. Voice: #3 ("Okay, let's pop some zitz!") Traits: Hmm... let's say Optimistic.
Flaws: Psychotic. Skpecialties: Heavy Weapons and Throwing. Skills: Explosives Expert. Is the limit still 35 points or else no knowledge in a skill? Basic knowledge in everything else. (I always like a merc to have basic medical skill.) Physically, whatever works well for you, though I forget what stats are needed to be a good grenade tosser.

$50 a day, plus expensesHeh, both Rockopolis and I wanted to LP this game, eh? Guess we were both beaten to the punch. And forget sniping. The killer skill is Night Ops. Max Night Ops lets you see TWO squares farther in the dark. Sniping I find isn't all that effective. It's situational, as you have to be on the roof to reap the benefits. (And being on the roof isn't always recommended.) Or Stealthy and Night Ops for a good combo.

Carl Xavier "The Big C" Male Any appearance fitting Caucasian with sunglasses, preferrably looking like Albert Wesker in some vague sense. Black clothing. Friendly, but Forgetful. He's a bit out there, getting so wracked up in whatever he's doing at the moment he may forget what he's SUPPOSED to be doing. Specialty: Electronics and Lockpicking. Emphasize Dexterity, Leadership, Explosive, Marksmanship, and Mechanical skills. He's the squads Combat Engineer, and has the mindset to boot. Despite his absentminded tendencies. Prone to going off on seemingly random tangents ostensibly related to what he or his squadmates are doing, at a time that's least convenient for them. Really nice guy. Really smart, too. Also a total pain in the ass. Joined the army to pay for college, somehow wound up going freelance. No favored weapon, as changing circumstances demand familiarity with a wide variety of weapons.

$50 a day, plus expensesMaybe they changed it, but I'm pretty sure Sniping was giving a bonus for higher ground. I will admit I could be wrong here. And yeah, pretty much every CQC trait (Hand to Hand, Martial Arts, Knifing) is just a fancy toy that rarely serves a purpose. Especially as there's nothing stopping you from shooting somebody at point-blank range. You pretty much have to kill them in one turn, or else they'll fill you full of holes. No clue on if Martial Arts boots endurance. I do know it boots melee dodge chance. Yes, Night Ops is THE skill! Fighting at Night is practically a requirement for the game, especially the early game when you're using pistols and SM Gs. Psychos less happy without autofire? Possibly. I just know that it means they'll occasionally switch to full-auto when firing. However, I have heard that they get a bonus to aim when auto-firing like this. (A psycho merc with Auto-Weapons skill is a good combo, I've heard.) Hmm, maybe I should swap out throwing in favor of Auto-Weapons... Do I want her to be accurate to my character, or more effective? Not that throwing isn't a bad choice (Throwing knives are DEADLY) but still, may help mitigate the psycho trait.

Rock OnWell, not being accurate when hurling grenades is probably a Psycho trait...
I think I was hesitating to LP this because I'm outright bad at this game, as much as I like it. Oh yeah, did you set Drop All? Personally, I like to set Bobby Ray's to the second highest setting, just to get a big variety of guns.

15 Dr Rockopolis, Sun, 16th May '10 7:00:42 PM from Barsoom
Rock OnI usually don't go with the highest setting, since that gives you access to Everything, but I like to have a wide variety at the beginning; I usually can't afford most of the really good stuff at the start, anyway, and you have to take Drassen before you can get any of it, anyway.

18 Dr Rockopolis, Sun, 16th May '10 7:12:00 PM from Barsoom
Rock OnAll of them.
Me, I like the Battle of Drassen; makes for a nice change of pace, and I've almost won it, a couple times. It helps if you can prepare ahead of time, with weapons, a fresh team of mercs, and lots of militia.

$50 a day, plus expensesI'll stick with Throwing. Interestingly, when I played the 1.13 version, I made my starting team all IMP mercs. I ended up giving them personalities and what-not, and stole a few of them for use in my actual story ideas. Ashley here was one of the mercs that was developed that way. Not that it'll ever show in game, but Ashley Wells is a happy-go-lucky pyromaniac. She likes things that go boom and setting things on fire. She's always cheerful, and has this grin that's halfway between cute and disturbing. She knows exactly how to light an aresol can on fire and how long to hold it, and she's quite skilled at juggling, though people would prefer she doesn't use grenades when she does this. I'll probably show this if/when I do write-ups for this game like I did for the X-Com one. As for the Drassen Counterattack, I won that through attrition. I let them take the mine, and then over the course of two days I made quick forays into Drassen, shot a few people, and then fled back. They'll take over the mine, but aren't too interested in the rest of the town, so you can run a guerrilla campaign.

BunnyI'll try my hand at a medic. WARNING: I have no clue what I'm doing and just wanna create an asshole medic. Name: Daryl Bunzowski Gender: Male Codename: Bunny Personality: Asshole Disability: Psychotic Specialties: Knifing, Stealth Stats: Raise Agility. Medical should be maxed and dex apparently helps medical, so try to max that too, and just put stats towards surviving/stabbing things. Lower mechanical, marksman, leadership. Give him decent explosives and wisdom. Daryl is a rather angry person. He only likes to patch up wounds so that he can verbally berate them while doing so. He would like his teammates to not get hurt so that he can focus on stabbing and blowing things up, but his teammates always come first. He may not be the smartest person around, but he realizes that everyone will be better off if he heals first and stabs later.

Iowa public health officials have received a $1.8 million federal grant to help ensure children and some adults get adequate dental care.
The money from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be used to expand a school-based dental program called I-Smile Dental Home Initiative and to monitor and evaluate the state's dental public health program.
I-Smile helps Iowa's children connect with dentists who provide treatment and evaluation. Other health professionals including dental hygienists, physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, and dietitians are a part of a larger network providing oral screenings, education, guidance, and preventive services as needed.
Since I-Smile began, 62 percent more low-income Iowa children have received dental services.

Don't get your knickers in a Knot
- June 1st, 2013
I have little use for custom motorcycles. Or, rather, custom bikes, as I don't consider them motorcycles.
I'm not talking about someone's catalog creation, or the OEM's idea of style. Naa, I'm OK with those. The one's I find useless are the ground-up creations that litter bike shows. Don't get your knickers in a knot over this; good on you if they're your reason for living.
My take on custom bikes comes from several different directions but, primarily, I think a motorcycle should be highly functional. It should go, stop, turn, and carry stuff with a high degree of competence. The custom efforts usually fail two of those categories; "turn" and "carry stuff." And while the "go" is often present, the "stop" part can be problematic.
Back in the 90's the motorcycle cruiser market was growing far faster than Harley-Davidson's ability to feed it. This, coupled with too much free money to be had, caused the birth of the clone manufacturers. I use the term "manufacturer" very loosely as these outfits were really assemblers who purchased most every component used in their creations. Whatever their status, this collective showed --at one time-- several dozen different names. Their mission in life was to, apparently, produce crap.
During that period I founded and ran Thunder Press, so I had the opportunity to ride too many of these clones. The difficulty for me was conjuring up something nice to say. What usually resulted was the motorcycle equivalent of, "Gee, for a fat guy you don't sweat much." The two biggest problems were the twin absences of engineering and build quality. I recall one memorable experience in dumping the throttle on a big-incher; the bike went as far sideways as it did straight ahead …you kinda had to vector your way down the road. Getting the two wheels aligned in the same track seemed to be beyond the ability of the, uh, engineers. Then there was another time when a seat pan broke loose...
As these faux manufacturers multiplied like randy rabbits, I remember asking myself, "Why doesn't Harley step on them?" There seemed to be a number of copyright/trademark issues on which Harley could have launched an attack, specious or not. However —and not for the first time—Harley proved smarter than the rest of us. The Milwaukee Mafia knew that these pretenders to the throne would implode due to their own incompetence. There was no reason for Harley to accrue billable hours with expensive lawyers. Today, all those names have mostly disappeared. May they rest in pieces. What they begat are the ridiculously expensive, wildly overdone customs.
I recently hit several of last year's IMS stops, part of which was a superb collection of custom bikes. I say "superb" not because I've flipped to the fan side but, rather, what I saw there was a very high degree of machining perfection, detailed assembly, and exquisite paint. I was genuinely impressed by more than a few of the examples, and applaud the efforts of the artistes. And there wasn't one that I'd want to own.
First off, what would I do with it? Would I go out and carve a path through the mountainous roads in my neighborhood? Uh…no. Or maybe troll the nearby beach venues? I'd probably get arrested; "Who's that old pervert staring at the wimmenfolk?" Or, how about taking off on one of my beloved camping trips? Gee, I could UPS all my gear from camp to camp. So, that would leave a profilin' stop at Starbucks where lesser beings would ogle and guess at the size of my manhood, while my wife snickered in the background.
And then there's the price of entry. Even if I had the money, I cannot imagine paying the high five-, and sometimes six-figure tags at which so many of these bikes are priced. This would be a particularly stupid thing to do when you look at the resale value. Percentage-wise the drop-off is…shall we say?...precipitous.
In all fairness, I must admit I did find a possible reason to own one. Several years ago I rode a clutch of customs, OEs and clones, for a magazine article. At a gas stop, I tanked up the outrageous custom I was riding, then moved near the entrance to the mini-mart. An attractive woman approached the store, and smiled as she passed. I think I looked over my shoulder …and probably blushed… as this is not a regular occurrence. Suitably emboldened, I waited for her to come out. She didn't disappoint, as she stopped. "Nice bike" was her comment as she raked the slammed chassis with her smile. I uttered something innocuous like, "Would you care to have my child?" She repeated, "Nice bike," kept her smile and eyes on the bike, then left. I don't think she realized that there was a semi-sentient being riding it.
That brief encounter was an "aha!" moment. I now understood, clarity was at hand. These bikes are the motorized equivalent of a peacock's feathers, a lion's mane, and Justin Bieber. All, in their own way, contribute to the propagation of the species.
But they ain't motorcycles.
