"I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome the layout of this house is.... So much to do in your off time when you are not at the beaches or the shops! We felt so much at home the whole week we stayed. Great location! near beaches, including the dog beach, which we used a lot! We would highly recommend this home for a rental for anyone! The owners were great people to deal with also!!! Thank you for sharing your vacation home with our family. <3"Guest: Rachel W. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 14, 2014View listing
"Having come from the UK, we stayed for a month at this wonderfully comfortable condo. It was a great position for all the amenities that Venice has to offer, and best of all so well equipped with everything one could possibly want, even down to lightweight deck chairs that we regularly took to the beach, we really didn't want for anything. Lovely friendly neighbours too! Would not hesitate to recommend this condo."Guest: Nick & Ros Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: December 5, 2014View listing
"My husband and I stayed here for a week and just loved it. The place was very clean and very well taken care of. It has great views and is in a great location. We are hoping this property will be available next year because we will return there. FANTASTIC place to stay!"Guest: Lydia J. Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: October 6, 2014View listing
"I normally don't do reviews, but I wanted to do this one..... My family & I had the opportunity to spend 2 wonderful weeks in this lovely home. Warm & inviting, well-equipped & immaculate, with all the amenities one needs for whatever kind of stay you could want, it was truly a home, not a house. Ours was a more laid-back visit, enjoying the luxury of nighttime stargazing in the hot tub, card games in the lanai, backyard sun worshipping in the early mornings. Being on Venice Island, we were able to enjoy the incredible sunsets, taking advantage of the easy access to various beaches, & successfully carting home numerous shark tooth treasures. The restaurants, the shopping, the movies, the theater, are all within a short car ride, a bike ride, or a walk. We could not have asked for a more perfect stay, & you can be sure..... we'll be back!!!"Guest: Snowbirds Date of Stay: March 2014 Review Submitted: April 6, 2014View listing
Venice Travel Tips
Venice Vacation Rentals for Beach Lovers
Southwest Florida has many vacation-worthy areas to offer beach lovers. Located in Sarasota County with a perfect year-round climate, Venice is one of the nicest spots in south Florida. And Venice vacation rentals, offering privacy, extra space and amenities, make a tropical getaway even nicer.
Venice Beaches
In addition to lovely beaches, Venice is known as the shark-tooth finding capital of Florida. More fossilized sharks teeth are found here than anywhere! The beaches in southwest Florida are numerous; if you are a beach-lover, make sure you allot plenty of time for exploring.
The longest and most secluded beach in Sarasota County is Casperson Beach, which has been left in its natural state rather than being commercialized. If you love to snorkel, the Venice Municipal Beach is the place to go, with a beautiful coral reef just one mile off shore. Just a short drive from the Municipal Beach, the Service Club Park offers a quiet beach with interesting boardwalks that span saw palmettos. For a great family beach, head over to Nokomis Beach, one of the quietest beaches in Venice, offering a boat launch and calm waters. The beach at South Jetty is a popular surf spot. Meanwhile, dog lovers will appreciate the friendliest dog park in the state: Brohard Paw Park on Harbor Drive South. Just up the coast are Tampa Bay's beaches.
Planning Your Venice Vacation—Southwest Florida Beach Rentals
When you start planning your vacation, look into Southwest Florida beach rentals, with extra amenities that make a vacation truly more enjoyable. Also look into Venice condos, another affordable option. Instead of renting a cramped hotel room, vacation in style! Venice vacation rentals provide features that hotels do not such as a fully-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, or private pool, Jacuzzi, and personal chef service.

Title: Rapunzel is here
Date: Oct 24, 2012
I purchased a small size 4/6.. My daughter wears a size 5 and this fits perfectly with regards to width/length. Compared to most of the costumes they are selling out there that feel paper thin, this costume is well made and so are the sleeves. It comes with a under garment you slip on to make the dress a little 'poofier' The picture online makes the headband look a lot better then what it really is. I wouldn't consider it 'bejeweled,' it basically has glitter thrown onto it.

- Hunter tracks the priceless golden relics taken from Jerusalem's Second Temple in AD 70.
- Archeology gets a fresh new face in this exciting series.
- Hosted by adventurer Hunter Ellis (Tactical to Practical).
Adventure has a new name! Host, explorer and survival expert Hunter Ellis takes a fresh look at the world's greatest ancient mysteries and puts adventure back into history as he travels to some of the most intriguing, remote and physically challenging locations in the world. With a fresh and engaging approach to archaeology, Hunter goes to extremes and takes us along for the ride.
Looted from the Second Temple by the Romans, golden artifacts including a seven-branched candelabrum have slipped in and out of history and legend for 2000 years. Treasures of unparalleled importance, some say that if the lamp were auctioned bids would open at one billion dollars. But it's knowledge, not riches, that drives Hunter Ellis around the world to track these glorious relics.
In the second installment of this thrilling two-part DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH, Hunter discovers clues that lead him to the final resting place of the Temple treasures. In tracking the artifacts, he uncovers the complicated and fascinating history of Judeo-Christian tradition and of the tides of civilizations over the past two millennia.
GOD'S GOLD may lead Hunter back to Israel, but his real journey is back in time.

More than a month after Sheriff's deputies say he killed his own mother and hid her remains at their Greenfield home, a 27-year-old Saratoga County man is arraigned on murder charges. YNN's Matt Hunter reports from the Saratoga County Courthouse.
BALLSTON SPA, NY – "I know that they had a difficult relationship but certainly no one anticipated that this kind of result would occur," Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy said.
Investigators say what started out as a small argument between a mother and son quickly turned violent and ultimately deadly inside their small home in Saratoga County. "We're not going to characterize the event but it was over a domestic dispute, something many, many families argue over for nothing, these kinds of nonsensical arguments that turn into something more," Murphy said.
On Friday morning, Joshua McWain, 27, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty to second degree murder and tampering with physical evidence charges, connected to the death of his mother, Carol Stanford, 59.
On October 31st, Sheriff's deputies found her remains hidden at their Greenfield home, four days after he allegedly killed her.
"We know it's a blunt force trauma, we know what the murder weapon is, we're not discussing the details of the actual death or the blunt force or the weapon that was used but we are certain of that," Murphy said.
McWain's attorney would not comment following the arraignment.
While some concern has been raised about his level of intelligence, prosecutors believe the 27-year-old is fit to stand trial.
"There are all kinds of people who commit all kinds of crimes, allegedly in this case, who fall on a continuous spectrum of intelligence," Murphy said. "I think that in this particular case we have sufficient proof to show that we can meet our burden of proof here."
McWain remains in custody at the Saratoga County Jail without bail. His attorney was given 45 days to file motions.

Product Description
Kenmore Elite 30" Electric Combination Wall Oven - Twice the Possibilities
The Kenmore Elite 30" electric combination wall oven 4890 gives you more cooking options with the convenience of both microwave cooking and a dual-fan convection oven. The self-cleaning oven makes for easy care, as the exclusive AirGuard technology eliminates odors. The innovative temperature probe feature shuts the oven off automatically when foods reach a designated internal temperature, so making the perfect roast is easy. The microwave unit comes equipped with special features like sensor cooking and Turbo Roast & Bake that take the guesswork out of mealtime. Every cook who's short on time needs this Kenmore combination wall oven.
- A built-in microwave oven uses the power of convection to heat foods from the interior and exterior simultaneously, so meals are cooked to perfection inside and out.
- True Dual Convection uses two convection fans and a third hidden heating element to cook evenly baked meals up to 44% faster than Kenmore ovens without convection.
- The Convenient Temperature Probe produces perfect doneness every time by automatically turning off once your turkey or roast reaches precisely the right interior temperature.
- The Self-cleaning function conveniently cleans the oven's interior using high temperatures to burn spills, soil and soot away without a bit of scrubbing.
- Kenmore Airguard™ Technology helps eliminate self-cleaning odors and smoke 85% more effectively than Kenmore ovens without it, so you can breathe easy.
- With the push of a button, the total wall oven lockout feature secures controls and prevents temperature tampering, especially from the smallest fingers in the house.

This item has been a problem since installation. It started with the clock not working. Not really a problem, but it was just the beginning. During the first couple of times I used the convention oven on the top to roast the oven stopped working half way thru. At that point I tried using the bottom oven, but it didn't work either. I was getting an F84 message on the control panel. So this same thing has happened at least 4 times, and I am still having problems. The first occurrence, I was without my ovens the during the holidays, and since then each time at least 5 -7 days. It happened again a week ago,and it was serviced today, and once again it happened today as I was preparing my dinner.

I bought over $10,000 worth of appliances from sears in one day for my new home. This oven was one of them. It didn't last two weeks and the microwave broke. I waited two months for the parts to come in and finally demanded a new unit, and sears brought one, but the new one didn't last two months. Now I am waiting on my next repair appointment. Worst appliance i've ever had.

We bought this unit and over the four weeks that it has been used we have had four service calls. Two calls to diagnose and two to repair the unit. These repairs started with replacing the main fuse (part cost $83) and then on the next repair appointment it required the replacement of the magnetron, switch, capacitor, transformer, and a thermal cut off switch. Now the unit works fine. The question foremost in my mind is just how long it will be this time. Sears repair service and the corporate office have been very supportive, quick to respond and great on followup. I appreciate this aspect of doing business with them. I however, have advised them to reconsider the manufacturer of this product as to date it has cost Sears nearly $1500 to repair this unit. I also received a gift certificate of $100 to purchase a temporary microwave in the event that the repairs do not hold.

Love this oven, I too read all the negative remarks about this oven and then decided what the heck, you can buy a BMW and it turns out to be a lemon. I had it professionally installed, he told me some of the the dos and dont's and I also read the manual. I have cooked a lot of roasts over the holidays using the bake and convection cycle in the upper and lower oven and have had wonderful results. It's like anything you have to work out the kinks and learn how to use it. Having not had a convection oven before I am still learning the process. I have learned to cook the meat uncovered to start and then cover. Some meats need more fluid in the bottom, roast potatoes cook a lot faster so keep an eye on them. Yes, the buzzer on the microwave is loud, it just makes you get to the oven faster to shut it off. The fan on the microwave blasts out, so I have learned not to be at eye level when it is on. The fan runs longer after the oven is turned off to cool it down, open the oven door and the heat comes into the room which on these cold winter days is no big deal, it cools down faster But, we do not find it to be too loud. We are more than pleased with this appliance and my boys have learned how to use it. Read the Instructions and learn by trial and error. p.s. The control panel works great, but again read the instructions. We have had this appliance since before Thanksgiving and have been cooking for a family of seven with it over the holidays.

Had the Elite Double Oven before this and worked great, but like the comination of features in this unit due to space saving. Looks great and cooks well on Convection Bake and does OK on a lot of the Microwave Auto Cook features.. However when you pay $4,000 for an oven you expect it to have been well thought out. Problems are: What idiot put a metal rotating tray in bottom, affects the Microwave Cooking and causes sparking if it touches inside wall? Too complicated to switch back and forth between Microwave and Cooking in Top Overn. In Lower overn on "Bake" cycle, it comes up to temp and then stops heating, but the Temp Readout contnues to show the preset temp so no way to know it is not cooking (ruined a lot of meals before figuring this out). Double Convection Fans do not cook as well as large single fan in old unit.

I had this item also just over 2 years...technician came out said he only works on refrigerators. Oven sensor broke in less than 1 year. Only works on convection bake and the side walls expanded because I left the grills in and now they fall through to the bottom, so basically its broken, over $3,000 and not worth a dime.

Disappointing quality. Microwave product worked intermittently; died in less than a month. Repaired and tested, my "1200W microwave is 750W at best, it heats 1 cup of water for 1 minutes to 100degrees; old 1200W Kenmore microwave, same test=150degree water. Initially oven product burnt everything. Temp showed 400 degrees but was 435 degrees. I bought an oven thermometer and calibrated the oven myself. Both oven and microwave have hot spots and cold spots so actually using either for cooking just ruins food.

Outstanding performance in every way possible. We thoroughly tested all features of this oven combination and found nothing lacking. We are now contemplating the purchase of other Kenmore Elite appliances based upon the performance of this combo. It is definitely a keeper.

NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
In an October 12 letter to Chief State School Officers, the Department offered additional guidance on the use of Title I funds in schools and school districts that have been identified in need of improvement. For example, "[No Child Left Behind] does not expressly address the situation of how the school improvement provisions apply when a school receives Title I funds in one year but not the next." In these instances, states "have flexibility to establish their own guidelines." However, the law also requires districts "to serve schools in rank order of poverty, so that schools moving in and out of Title I will most likely be a [district's] lowest poverty Title I schools." For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/stateletters/uofcssos.html.
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education's (OESE) latest webcast dealt with Title I, Part A requirements for "meaningful parental involvement." Moderated by Lorraine Wise, OESE's contact for parental involvement activities, the production featured the perspectives of a school district superintendent (Sonia Diaz-Salcedo of Bridgeport, CT), a state education agency executive (Ronald Houston of Delaware), and a technical assistance provider (Robert Witherspoon of RMC Research Corporation). For those who are tech-adverse, a transcript of the panel discussion is also available. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/admins/comm/parents/
On October 18, the Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) unveiled the fourth of six booklets on promising practices to be released this year. "Innovations in Education: Creating Successful Magnet School Programs" (http://www.ed.gov/admins/comm/choice/magnet/) identifies six school districts whose thriving magnet programs offer a range of contexts, experiences, and perspectives that may be helpful to others. The districts include two whose experience in implementing magnet schools spans more than a quarter century and one whose magnet schools experience began only four short years ago. Moreover, all of these districts have received support through the federal Magnet Schools Assistance Program at one time or another, but they have also demonstrated a capacity to sustain their schools after the funding ended.
Public-Private Partnerships
Speaking of OII, it recently co-hosted a conference titled "Innovations in Education: Building a Public-Private Partnership Model for K-12 Reform" with the School District of Philadelphia and Drexel University. "A dynamic partnership between government, teachers, business, and parents transforms our schools, helps end the achievement gap, and makes American education inclusive for all students," Secretary Paige said in his remarks. "A united community effort means a better education for children." Philadelphia boasts a number of unique partnerships, from for- and non-profit organizations running schools to local churches providing mentoring and tutoring. Indeed, the Microsoft Corporation has agreed to build a new high school as a prototype for the use of technology in school. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2004/10/10082004.html.
Public Access
The Education Department is seeking public comment on proposed regulations that guarantee equal access to public school facilities for the Boy Scouts of America and other "patriotic" youth groups. The proposed regulations enforce existing law, which requires public schools that receive federal education funding afford the Boy Scouts, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., Little League Baseball, etc., with equal access to school facilities as compared to outside community and youth groups. The law also requires that these groups be granted equal access to school activities and school-related communication tools. Any comments must be postmarked or sent through the Internet on or before December 3, 2004. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/legislation/FedRegister/proprule/2004-4/101904a.html.
Also: The Secretary issued a strongly worded statement challenging Bruce Fuller's new No Child Left Behind report. The statement provides a detailed summary of states with positive results. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2004/10/10082004.html.
Tackle Reading
On October 26, Assistant Secretary for Vocational and Adult Education Susan Sclafani will join Miami Dolphins All-Pro Sam Madison and other NFL players at a USA Football event in Miami to launch the Tackle Reading Web Site for Kids and the Tackle Reading Playbook. Tackle Reading is a public awareness campaign that promotes academics and learning. In January, Secretary Paige joined Green Bay Packers All-Pro Donald Driver at a similar event during Super Bowl Week. For more information, please go to http://www.eduplace.com/tacklereading/.
Private Schools
A newly released National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) report presents 2001-02 data on K-12 private schools in the U.S. The findings, split into four sections, include:
- In the fall of 2001, there were an estimated 29,273 private elementary and secondary schools in the U.S., an increase of 2,050 over the number estimated in the fall of 1999.
- The region with the most private schools was the South (9,171), while the regions with the fewest were the West (6,092) and the Northeast (6,556).
- Among the private schools in existence in 2001-02, there was considerable diversity as to orientation and affiliated. Of the three primary types, other religious schools (49%) were by far the most numerous, followed by Catholic schools (28%) and non-sectarian schools (23%).
Student Enrollment
- A total of 5,341,513 students were enrolled in the nation's private schools in 2001, an increase of 178,829 over the students estimated in 1999. Private school students represented approximately 10 percent of the total elementary and secondary enrollment in the U.S. in 2001-02.
- Forty-three percent of all private school students attended schools in central cities, 43% attended schools in a large town, and 15% attended schools in rural areas.
- More students were enrolled in Catholic schools than in other religious schools, 47% and 36%, respectively. Enrollment in non-sectarian schools was 17%.
- The nation's private school students were taught by 425,406 teachers in 2001, representing an increase of 30,089 over the teachers estimated in 1999.
Kindergarten-Terminal Schools
- In the fall of 2001, there were 6,622 of these schools, enrolling 98,413 students and employing 15,398 teachers nationwide.
For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2005305.
Also: Next year, NCES will conduct the first ever National Indian Education Study. The study's goal is to describe the condition of education of American Indian students by focusing on their academic achievement and educational experiences in the fourth- and eighth-grades. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/studies/nies.asp.
After-School Evaluation (Part II)
According to a national evaluation by Mathematica Policy Research of the Department's 21st Century Community Learning Centers (after-school) programthe second of three evaluationselementary students who attended the federally funded, school-based after-school programs reported feeling safer, and middle school students missed less school and had higher expectations for graduating from college. However, the program did not affect reading test scores or grades for elementary students, and middle school students showed no change in English, math, and science. Additionally, the program did not increase whether either group completed their homework. (Note: The No Child Left Behind Act restructured the program and focused greater attention on its potential for improving academic outcomes, whereas Mathematica's study is limited to the 2000-01 and 2001-02 school years.) For more information, please go to http://www.mathematica-mpr.com/Press%20Releases/21stcenturysecond.asp.
Quote to Note
"In the last few weeks my Department has received data from a number of cities and states indicating...remarkable, rapid improvements. We see an emerging pattern of positive data. The achievement gap is closing. There is a lot more to do.... We are just three years into this process. We are merely witnessing the 'twilight of the dawn.' But as we remain steadfast to the principles and requirements of the law, we will see greater improvements with each passing year."
Secretary of Education Rod Paige (10/8/04)

text: 2 could of been good but ultimately frustrating!!kiedistidus | 12/12/2010 | See all kiedistidus's reviews (4)First of all let me say when I buy a game my main incentive for a purchase is for the game's main story not for the online side of it.So this is a review based around that fact.Anyway after many attempts to sit down and really try to enjoy this game I realised it cant be done!The most frustrating thing about Dead Rising 2 is how every little objective your presented with has a time limit which to me is a complete contradiction of the way the game is presented,here you have the bright lights and glamour of fortune city to explore with legions of the undead to slice,shoot and smash your way through but due to every mission having a set time limit your chances of doing this are few and far between.For example one of your objectives requires you to locate an item every 24 hours(game time) called zombrex which has to be administered to your young daughter every day to prevent her from turning into one of the walking dead!sounds simple enough right? wrong inbetween this tedious and repetitive challenge you have to also continue completing missions tied into the main story while also being tasked with equally tedious and repetitive rescue missions involving the ironically unfortunate citizens of fortune city all of which need to be completed to achieve the best possible ending and all of which again have time limits.I wouldnt mind so much if these missions where more varied and fun but 90% of the side missions is locate a survivor lead or carry them(depending on the circumstances) to your safehouse through hordes of zombies by running turning round to check they're are not being gang mauled by the undead, running, turning round, running, turning round and occassionly having to repel the undead to clear a safe path for the idiot survivor this gets really repetitive really quickly and the most frustrating thing is your collection of zombie slaying tools are all perishable so you find yourself having to constantly look for maintenance rooms and equipment so you can build "combo weapons" as the majority of weapons(including firearms) you find just lying round fortune city are crap.I'll stop there as writing this review is nearly as painful as playing this game. just to sum up every aspect of this title indicates you should be given as much time as you want to explore,build weapons and rescue survivors but unfortunately some idiot thought it would be a good idea to give you a set time limit to do all this in which essentially ruins a pretty decent game.

Associated Press
MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) -- The two brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings have their ethnic roots in Chechnya, a part of the Caucasus Mountains that has spawned decades of violence -- from separatist wars to suicide attacks, blood feuds and hostage sieges.
Authorities have not linked Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to any insurgent groups, and the Kremlin-backed strongman who now leads Chechnya says the brothers got their inspiration in the U.S., not the troubled region in southern Russia.
"They weren't living here. They were living, studying and growing up in America," Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said in an interview on Russian television. "They have been educated there, not here."
The families of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old killed in a gun battle with police in Massachusetts overnight, and his 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar, left Chechnya long ago and moved to Central Asia, according to the Chechen government.
Before arriving in the United States a decade ago, the brothers lived briefly in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, a neighboring, violence-wracked Russian province where their father resides.
The conflict in Chechnya began in 1994 as a separatist war, but became an Islamic insurgency dedicated to forming an Islamic state in the Caucasus. Dagestan has since become the epicenter of the insurgency.
Russian troops withdrew from Chechnya in 1996 after the first Chechen war, leaving it de-facto independent and largely lawless, but then rolled back three years later following apartment building explosions in Moscow and other cities blamed on the rebels.
Kadyrov has Moscow's carte blanche to stabilize Chechnya with his feared security services, which are accused of killings, torture and other rampant human rights abuses.
The Tsarnaev brothers lived in the region only briefly as children, but appeared to have maintained a strong Chechen identity. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's first name is the same as Chechnya's first separatist president, who was killed in a Russian airstrike.
The suspects' uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., urged Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to turn himself in, saying: "He put a shame on our family, the Tsarnaev family. He put a shame on the entire Chechen ethnicity."
In the interview on Russian TV, Kadyrov offered his condolences to the Boston Marathon victims, but placed the blame squarely on the United States.
He added on Instagram that "the roots of this evil are to be found in America," but offered no explanation. He also criticized U.S. authorities for failing to capture the older brother alive.
Russia has relied on Kadyrov, a ruthless former rebel, to bring a degree of stability to Chechnya in recent years. But the Islamic insurgency has spread to neighboring provinces, with Dagestan -- sandwiched between Chechnya and the Caspian Sea -- now seeing the worst of the violence. Militants launch daily attacks against police and other authorities.
Militants from Chechnya and neighboring provinces have carried out a series of terrorist attacks in Russia, including a 2002 raid on a Moscow theater, in which 129 hostages died, most of them from the effects of narcotics gas that Russian special forces pumped into the building to incapacitate the attackers.
In 2004, militants from Chechnya took more than 1,000 people hostage at a school in Beslan, and the siege ended when gunfire erupted after explosions tore through the gym. More than half of the 330 people who died were children. There also have been numerous bombings in Moscow and other cities.
The Obama administration placed Chechen warlord Doku Umarov on a list of terrorist leaders after he claimed responsibility for 2010 suicide bombings on Moscow's subway that killed 40 people and a 2009 train bombing that claimed 26 lives.
Russia faced strong international criticism for its indiscriminate use of force against civilians and other rights abuses in Chechnya. The two separatist wars killed an estimated 100,000 people, and Russian bombing reduced most of Chechnya's capital, Grozny, and many other towns and villages to rubble, sending tens of thousands fleeing.
The federal forces suffered heavy casualties in the hands of lightly armed rebels, who relied on their centuries-old warrior culture and knowledge of rugged terrain to offset the Russian edge in firepower. The Chechens' successes were reminiscent of their exploits in 19th-century battles against a czarist army that spent decades trying to conquer the Caucasus.
In recent years, militants in Chechnya, Dagestan and neighboring provinces have largely refrained from attacks outside the Caucasus.
Russian officials and experts have claimed that rebels in Chechnya had close links with al-Qaida. They say dozens of fighters from Arab countries trickled into Chechnya during the fighting there, while some Chechen militants have fought in Afghanistan.

eBay Find of the Day: 1975 Chevy Cosworth Vega with just 291 miles
by Chris Tutor (RSS feed) on Aug 29th, 2012 at 2:31PM
In 1970, General Motors vice president John DeLorean wanted more power for the Chevrolet division's Vega. After five years of development, the Cosworth Vega was born. Sometime that year, somebody in Farmington, Ill. bought Cosworth Vega No. 1,094 of 2,061 cars built that year and promptly stored it away. After changing hands several times, including in 2000 for $9,500 then again a few years later for $28,600 at a Mecum auction, No. 1094 is again available to a new owner.

Chicago Hotels
When to book your trip
Chicago hotels Guide
Nicknamed the Second City, in reality, Chicago is second to none. Known as much for its blues — and blues brothers — as it is for its famous gangsters and deep-dish pizza, Chicago is also a mecca of art, theater, dining, and other culture.
Chicago hotels offer visitors a bit of everything. Accommodations run the gamut from bargain hotels to luxury hotels in Chicago's downtown. Guests spend the day taking in the city's many sights and tours and head to a ballgame at historic Wrigley Field, one of the best in the U.S., or they enjoy one of the many world-class museums and take in some of the first-rate theater in the evening, topping it off with a nightcap and a view of the town at the Hancock tower's Signature Lounge. Navy Pier is a great place for families to keep busy between getting some rest at one of the top Chicago hotels.
Chicago Quick Picks and Tips
Chicago has several locations that attract trade shows from around the country. The Merchandise Mart is one of the more popular venues and is the yearly host of the National Prom Market, the USA's largest business-services trade event.
Food in Chicago: plentiful, diverse, and tasty of, course. Chicago is known for its Italian and Polish food. Lou Malnati's, which has several Chicago locations, is famous for its Chicago-style deep-dish pizza.
Major Point of Interest
Chicago visitors won't want to miss the Art Institute of Chicago and its impressive collection of Asian, modern and American art and much, much more.
Any shopper booking a room in one of the many Chicago hotels shouldn't forget the Magnificent Mile. This section of Michigan Avenue is filled with history, shopping opportunities, and other entertainment to make your trip more than worthwhile.
Chicago has two major-league baseball teams, the Cubs and White Sox, and given the fierce loyalty of each team's fans, it's a good thing their respective parks are located so far apart. NFL fans have the Chicago Bears, while hockey fans root for the Blackhawks, and basketball fans cheer for the Bulls.
Chicago Neighborhoods
Chicago is divided into over 70 different neighborhoods, each with its own distinct feel and flavor. The Downtown Loop, or city center, is the commercial and financial district, and many of the city's cultural institutions are located here as well, including the Magnificent Mile, a shopper's paradise, and Grant Park, where guests can choose to stay at the luxury Talbott Hotel. Travelers seeking one of the less expensive Chicago hotels opt for the Days Inn on the North Side, located right in the middle of the most dense population center of the city and near Lincoln Park.
The South Side is Chicago's largest area and includes many parks and public beaches. Also located here are Jackson Park, site of the 1893 Columbian Exposition, the Museum of Science and Industry (the last remaining building from the Exposition), and U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. The West Side is known for its ethnic enclaves and is home to the NBA's Chicago Bulls and the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks. Overall, visitors should try to find Chicago hotels they can use for a base of operations because this vast city and all its sites can't be explored in one day — or even a week.

Dresdens, Denim and other fabric inspiration
33 comments:
Lovely Dresens, Amy! My thoughts are go dark, but not as far as black and, yes, use one contrasting fabric center that unifies all the blocks. Maybe a grey dot? Love your Little Things Hourglass quilt. Sew cute!ReplyDelete
Those denims would make a nice rag quilt coupled with flannel or fleece on the back side would make it pretty warm and quick to make. With the Dresdens, I made my centers yo yo's and secured them with a button in the middle. You could make a center the same color as each block then put them with different colors, like a yellow center for the red dresden, a red center for the blue dresden, a blue center for the green dresden etc. or make them all white with colored polka dots! There are endless possibilities!ReplyDelete
I vote for a black 30's print for your adorable dresdens. .ReplyDelete
Love your Dresden plate blocks. I just got some templates in the mail I ordered from Ebay. Can't wait to use them. Just got to decide what prints I want to use. You have inspired me to get started. But I am also like you I have so many projects started.....ReplyDelete
Donna from Blackberry Winter Crafts
Ooh, I just LOVE your monochromatic Dresden plates! Do you want all of the centers to be the same fabric? I almost think I'd want a different center for each plate, like a deep orange for the blue plate, dark gray for the yellow plate, maybe blue in the red plate and purple in the green one. Another idea -- the center does not need to just be a plain circle. You could applique a hexagon instead, or some other shape. I did a Dresden plate quilt for my very girly little niece last year and I put machine appliqued flowers in the center of each plate, using two different fabrics and Accuquilt Go! die cut flower shapes: http://cheekycognoscenti.blogspot.com/2012/11/me-blog-hop-giveaway-flower-power.html What is the intended use of this quilt? If it's for a child, it would be wonderful to use Minky for the centers of the blocks. It doesn't fray so you could cut out your circles and just applique the edges with a zigzag. My ideas are probably too cutesy for you, though. I'm sure whatever you choose to do will be perfect!ReplyDelete
Love the dresdens!! So very pretty along with the other fabrics too! Happy sweet day! xo HollyReplyDelete
Before reading, I was looking at your Dresdens thinking how great they looked with the low volume. What if you did another low volume in the center...like one of the prints from another block. I think that would look great and tie them in nicely!ReplyDelete
Your dresdans are fab! Love the monochromatic look.ReplyDelete
It's a good time of year to hunker down and start some new projects
I'm going to say: go for black or maybe dark grey????ReplyDelete
Also, I'd never heard of denim quilts until a friend of mine lent hers to me. Woah. Those things are serious. But they are definitely good for the great outdoors, especially when the great outdoors are chilly!!
Guess just appliqueing back the centers so the background fabric shows would be too hard right?:) Why don't you finish all your plates, lay they out and take a photo then take it to Paint or some other photo editing thingy and tryout different centers?:)ReplyDelete
Whoaaa...I was thinking that looked like denim before I read it was...why don't you make a duvet cover and put that army blanket inside?:) Toasty, toasty, toasty!!Replies
Haha! Yes, that army blanket inside a denim quilt would be heavy-duty and SUPER warm.Delete
I LOVE your dresdens, all the same color, fabulous!ReplyDelete
Love those dresdens. My thought for the centers is go with the contrasting color, ie for blue pick a yellow center, for red, a greeen center, etc. But I am sure there is more than one lovely option.ReplyDelete
So funny! My grandson's team is the "Natural Disasters". Love your blocks!ReplyDelete
Cheery wave from
Haha! Love it. My son really wanted to be the Shark-nadoes (A tornado made from sharks). For some reason he got voted down. ;)Delete
I love to make Dresden plates they are very addictive :) Yours are beautiful! The centre piece is always dilemma for me :) You have a great taste in colors so whatever you choose I am sure it will be gorgeous.ReplyDelete
If you like to see my collection of Dresden here is link to my blog
Do you have the same print in each colour? That way you'd still maintain the monochromatic feel, but matching the print would still kind of tie it all together.ReplyDelete
dresden plates are great, do have the template and must make an effort to do some. The sky on the football photo was worth getting up and being out for, wonderful.ReplyDelete
Try auditioning solids of the same color as your dresden plates. I think it will enhance the prints of your plates.ReplyDelete
I love the dresdens, they were the first block I ever made so I am rather partial to them. The yellow is my favourite.ReplyDelete
I like black because its dramatic but with your color choices I would go a different matching circle for each block. maybe a solid green, red and yellow would be very pretty and yet not take away from your beautifull fabrics. you could always cut out some colors and set them up on your desing board without actually sewing them to see how you like them first.ReplyDelete
Love the idea of a denim quilt!! When I saw the lovely Dresdens, I was thinking it might be pretty to rotate colors for the centers..yellow in the red, red in the green, etc (maybe one of the low volume prints in each color). Or maybe navy? Or a navy pindot...oh the possibilities!ReplyDelete
Some fun projects on the go Amy! In my book, it's all about the process and if you have finishes to show every week, you're not enjoying the process LOL!ReplyDelete
I love your dresdens and wish I had enough good stash to do the same. I'm not creative enough to give you suggestions for the center, but I am bold enough to ask how in the world did you attach them to the background?! I CAN'T SEE YOUR STITCHES!! Gosh you're good!! I look forward to seeing what you come up with to complete this project :o)ReplyDelete
I am loving all of these suggestions! Thanks so much everyone.ReplyDelete
that fabric with the potions is a hoot!ReplyDelete
love your dresden blocks...no! don't put black centers....a contrasting color will work really well.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Hi Amy,ReplyDelete
What is the background fabric on the three similar background dresden plates? It is a great contrast. Thanks.
Hee hee, I was thinking as I was reading 'Hmm, wonder where she could get a quilt for that field' ;o)ReplyDelete
Oooooh -- I love those bottles!ReplyDelete
Love LOVE your dresdens. And wow, those saturated denims in a rainbow of colors, well they are just awesome!ReplyDelete
Oh Amy, you know how to grab my attention with all those adorable American Jane fabrics! I love them, the colours are adorable. I like the suggestion from one of the other followers about mixing up and just rotating the colours in the middle. Got to love a Dresdan, and with American Jane.... ah.ReplyDelete

By Drew Clark
WASHINGTON, October 23 – The top executives of the four major broadcast networks on Thursday urged the head of the Federal Communications Commission to delay a vote on a politically simmering issue that pits broadcasters against Google and high-tech executives.
In the letter, the CEOs of CBS Corp., NBC Universal and Walt Disney, and the chief operating officer of News Corp., urge that the FCC exercise caution before taking irreparable action with regard to the vacant television channels known as "white spaces."
Google and the other technology executives, including Microsoft, Motorola, Philips and others, want the FCC to authorize electronic devices that capable of transmitting internet signals over vacant television bands.
The network executives – CBS's Leslie Moonves, Disney's Robert Iger, NBC's Jeffrey Zucker and Peter Chernin of News Corp. – want a time out.
They join their local broadcasting colleagues, as well as manufacturers and users of wireless microphones, like the National Football League and Broadway theater owners, who have been actively lobbying the issue.
The broadcasters want the FCC to delay a pending report and subject the technically-laden document to peer review by engineers.
"It would be unprecedented to let the FCC take action of something of this importance, which could potentially introduce considerable interference into the television band, without allowing the public to comment," said Dennis Wharton, executive vice president at the National Association of Broadcasters.
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is scheduled to release the white spaces report at a commission meeting on Tuesday, November 4, which is also Election Day.
Both advocates and critics of the white spaces proposal expect that the report by the agency's Office of Engineering and Technology could pave the wave for widespread use of devices transmitting in the white spaces.
Traditionally, advocates of white spaces have been politically out-gunned. Non-profit communications enthusiasts, including officials at the New America Foundation and the Media Access Project, have been promoting the concept for years. But until recently, broadcasters have held sway among FCC commissioners.
Fears of Interference
Broadcasters' fears of interference have kept stations far, far, apart on the television dial.
That's why even today, if you live in Washington, DC, no more than four of the 21 channels between 30 and 50 are occupied: 32, 45, 47 and 50. That leaves 17 available as white spaces. The FCC's allocation of TV channels was set in 1952.
The channel numbers vary from city to city, and will likely change with the transition to digital television (DTV) on February 17, 2009. Still, a lot of unused real estate is and will remain vacant in the sky.
Google's solution: the FCC should give the industry permission to build smart electronic devices that will automatically "sense" their own geographic location, and then offer connections to the internet only when such transmissions would not interfere with television broadcasts.
In the Thursday letter, the network executives don't extensively rehash the arguments against interference.
Indeed, they say that their companies "have worked with [broadcasters] and other interested parties toward a final plan to utilize white spaces in the television band because we recognize that better utilization of spectrum could mean improved broadband deployment, especially in rural areas, and economic growth nationally."
Rather, they highlight their concern about potential irreparable consequences.
"The FCC has to get this matter right the first time," said the executives. "If millions of unlicensed devices flood the market in the next few years, and it turns out the sensing still does not work, … and the result is massive disruption to Americans' #1 news, leisure and entertainment option, how will that damage be undone?"
The executives are fighting a rear-guard battle against stepped-up advocacy on the part of the tech companies, including Google co-founder Larry Page. Page appeared at a September 24 pro-white space rally on Capitol Hill.
And on Tuesday, October 21, Google and New America Foundation hosted an event at the search giant's California headquarters entitled "Pervasive Connectivity."
At the Tuesday event, Michael Calabrese, director of the New America Foundation's Wireless Future Program, urged: "take TV off the air" in a few years, according to the trade publication Communications Daily. Calabrese said that all of the TV spectrum should be for wireless broadband, replacing over-the-air broadcasters with cable, satellite and internet viewing, according to Comm Daily. (Also see this report from RBR.com.)
Who's Right, Broadcasters or Techies?
Currently neglected in the current debate is a "Third Way."
Instead of turning the white spaces into yet another political football between competing lobbyists, why doesn't the government put these frequencies up for sale? It's the kind of idea that you would think a warm-hearted capitalist company like Google would love.
That, at least, is the idea of Professor Thomas Hazlett of George Mason University School School of Law. (Disclosure: I serve as part-time Assistant Director of the Information Economy Project, where I work with Law & Economics Professor Thomas Hazlett, who directs the project.)
Hazlett favors taking a property rights approach to spectrum, and he elaborates on this idea in the October 3 edition of The Wall Street Journal (with Nobel Laureate in Economic Vernon Smith):
Allot all TV band frequencies to, say, seven national licenses, and auction them. (Competition could be ensured by a one-to-a-customer rule.) TV stations would be grandfathered, and continue to broadcast on current channels. But they would also be able to change channels or accept some interference with their broadcast signals. They would happily accept payments to make way for new wireless stuff. Band usage would be radically transformed.
This procedure greases the skids for efficiency, downloading politically arduous tasks to market specialists. Many wireless services, from PCS to Blackberry to MediaFlo, have been launched through such spectrum trades. Those deals only happen when owners can bargain. To free the airwaves, we must liberate them from the pre-World War II template in which they are now trapped.
I first heard about a variant of Hazlett's proposal about 18 months ago, at the May 2007 Aspen Institute Roundtable on Spectrum Policy, in Queenstown, Maryland. A long-time critic of broadcasters, Hazlett proposed dividing up the remaining 294 Megahertz – this is the spectrum that will remain after the DTV transition – into about seven segments of about 42 Megahertz a piece. (I lay out the spectrum math in this sidebar.)
Each slice could be auctioned off, or, as an alternative, cleared for use by unlicensed Wi-Fi style devices. The nut of the proposal is that auction buyers – presumably Google and the other technology giants – must bargain with incumbent broadcasters to entice them to either exit their broadcasting business, or to keep from interfering with existing broadcasts.

Student and Faculty Leaders
Trip Destinations
Registration Information
What is W.O.A.!?
W.O.A.! Trips are pre-orientation adventures designed to help students make connections and learn life skills before entering college at CMC. Our many trip offerings allow students a variety of opportunities and activities, from surfing to camping to community service, so there is something for everyone! Each group consists of 15-20 new students and three student trip leaders who are currently enrolled at CMC.
W.O.A.! Trips are designed to promote:
- A Supportive Relationship with Peers
- A Mentoring Relationship with Trip Leaders
- A Sense of Community and Belonging
- Readiness for College Life
- Personal Growth
- Leadership Skills
- A Connection to the Natural World
- Responsibility for Self and Others
- Decision Making Skills
- Challenge and Discovery
- Self-Awareness and Self-Confidence
- An Awesome Introduction to the CMC Lifestyle!
Who Can Participate?
We highly encourage all new students (both freshmen and transfers) to participate in one of our exciting programs. However, there are a limited number of spaces on each trip so they are filled in the order your applications are received. The application deadline is July 11th.
It is imperative that students who plan on playing a fall sport contact their coach in order to determine whether or not they are able to participate in W.O.A.! Student athletes who will be participating in football, men's soccer, and cross country are unable to participate because team practices will have already started during this time. International students who would like to participate in W.O.A.! need to see the International Student Orientation Schedule.
Arriving at CMC
Students participating in W.O.A.! must arrive at CMC on Saturday, August 23, 2014 between 12pm and 5pm. Student leaders will greet the participants at the Ontario Airport baggage claim and shuttle them back to campus. Students who are unable to arrive at Ontario Airport must coordinate their own transportation to CMC. Students will spend Saturday night on campus with their W.O.A.! groups and depart on their trips Sunday morning.
Belongings not to be taken on the trip can be placed in the student's fall room. These items will be unavailable after drop-off until the student's return on Wednesday evening. All items for W.O.A.! should be packed separately from those to be left behind. If your family plans to participate in On-Campus Orientation, they can join you to move into your room on Wednesday evening upon your return to campus. Most trips will be back by 4pm (traffic permitting). More detailed information on return times for individual trips will be included in a mailer later this summer.
What Should I Bring?
Students will most likely be bringing the items needed for their trip to college. More specific items, such as sleeping bags and backpacks, are available for a small rental fee if you cannot bring your own. Once accepted, you will receive a packet detailing your trip and the items you will need to bring.
Student and Faculty Leaders
Trips are comprised of 3-4 leaders per 15-20 participants. Each trip has at least one male and one female student leader who represent a variety of class years. Student leaders participate in mandatory training prior to the trips, including a course in basic wilderness first aid, in order to ensure safe and well-run trips. Some trips may also include a faculty member depending on interest.
