"Pendragon Trial by Fire, Pivot Point for Friends"
Bobby's adventures continue with his first visit to a non-human society, where humans are called Gars and are considered a lower life form. While he is dealing with the ultimate culture shock and trying to stay alive, Mark and Courtney find that in order to do what they feel is the right thing they have to break some rules. They find out the hard way that you don't get to choose the consequences when you break rules, and sometimes others pay for your choices.
This series is amazing, and fun. I especially love this book because I am a parent, and my kids love this series. When they get to this book there are so many life lessons that can be learned from these words. How often do we set out to do something good, for all the best reasons, and along the way make choices the end up haveing unexpected and unintended consequences? I love how real the characters are, and how true to themselves they stay. Mr. MacHale has created each of them with unique motivations and drives, and even thought the series covers a significant age range for all of them, they are believable and embracable.
Mr. Dufris' performance in these books is magical. He brings the story to life. It is not just someone reading words from a page. It is a tallented voice actor making each individual unique, identifiable, and exciting. Some reviewers have complained about his performance. I thoroughly disagree. His reading is part of what makes it so fun to listen to these stories over and over again.
Thank you both for hours and hours of uplifting family entertainment.
"Actually book 2 in series"
Dak and Darvi are fun. The spiritual growth they experience in dealing with eachother as they learn to live their lives in a more Christ-centered way in insightful and pure Wick. The characters surounding them also make the story's magic more real.
A fun inspiring read that will make you think about those around you and how you interact with them.
"Actually Book 1 in the series."
I really enjoy this series. The narator is a little suprising at first, because male narators seldom get romance gigs. I think Sala did just fine. Liberty is a suprising woman in a suprising role for the time and place of the story. How everyone in her life responds to her acting in that role is pivital to her grouth in the story, and part of Lori Wick's magic.
Enjoy, and read on in book 2 A Texas Sky.
"My #1 Favorite book by Julie Garwood"
This is a heartwarming story that starts in a London ballroom and ends in a cabin on a Montana Teritory homestead outside a middle-of-nowhere town. It has historical elements that really make this one unique, with constant quotes from Shakespere(sp), glamorization of Daniel Boon and Davey Crocket, "Mountain Men", and the eronious belief that if something has been published in a book it has to be true.
Another great element about this book is the low smut level. The main characters of the story are maried before they even meet on the pages, though they do not know eachother at all, and there is no actual sex until almost half way through the very large book. In an industry that seems to think that a good romance has to have sex by page 90, this is beyond refreshing.
This book has better developed suporting characters than many of Garwood's other books. All of them are well rounded, completely dynamic, and non-2dimentional.
The narator does a good job of getting the character tones right too.
"The action does not stop! Riordan did it again."
I had this book almost as soon as it was available for download. I have now listened to it twice and it has not been out quite two days yet.
I love the group dynamics in this one. Usually there is only three people to keep track of. This time we get to experience the tension and drama of combining the two teams from the first two books. Jason and Percy are fun to watch too. Who is leading this group anyway?
And then the ending!!! And I have to wait another year? That is part of what makes Mr. Riordan such an amazing writer. He leaves my family with a desperate thirst for the next instalment in the adventure.
I love these characters for my kids because every one of them makes mistakes, has problems, has insecurities, and does the right thing anyway.
"If you have a crazy family you MUST read this."
I have been a big fan of Heinlein's Juveniles for many years. I first read "Space Cadet," "Tunnel In The Sky," "Have Space Suite, Will Travel" and "Farmer in the Sky" in the 80's when I was JH and HS age. It was only five or so years ago that I learned that all these books were part of Heinlein's Jumeniles and that there were more of them. Well! I had to read them!
The Rolling Stones is now by far my favorite of these books, and yes I have read all the others. Who can not relate to twin boys who are far too smart for their own good and ready and able to cause mayhem at any turn? Or the outspoken, colorful and often controversial resident grandma? Or the passive-resistant true guiding force of the family in a mother that mostly just says "yes, dear?" Or the big, anoying sister? Or the pain in the neck, demanding little brother? And lets not forget the Man of the family.
It does not matter how many times I read this book, I smile and laugh all the way through.
You even get introduced to a martian creature called a "flat cat" that has an alarming similarity to the Star Trek universe "Tribble." Having been published in 1952, I think I can figure out who had THAT idea first....
Heinlein pokes fun at seriels, literary conventions and cheats, and invokes the classics enough to make an inquisitive reader want to research literary references. The character names even lead to some of that. So...
Full Cast Audio does the story up well, and cut them some slack about the music. It is corny and dated, but the story is corny (deliberately) and dated too. I always have to explain to the other readers I introduce to this just what a slide-rule is because one has not been needed in my lifetime. It does not detract from a very fun, witty, independance inspiring story.
Just think what Hazle's cough drop despencer would cause in our world today!
You'll just have to read it to know what I'm talking about.
"Heinlein's amazing vision! Remember, 1949!"
I first read this book when I was in seventh grade. I remeber walking through the halls of my school with the book and being teased for being a "Space Cadet" for reading a book titled "Space Cadet." It did not matter. I still loved the story.
Now, I know lots more about life the universe and everything, and I still love this book! Heinlein's juveniles are anything but jubenile. Heinlein never talked down to his reader. His science is all wrong in some cases, and of course it is dated, but those are not the key to great science fiction writing. It is the Story.
This one presents a 'coming of age' story based in a peace-keeping force that has sucessfully prevented war for a century. It is based in an institution with traditions of sacrifice, service and constant self improvement. It ends with the message that doing your best should not be something special. It should be what you do all the time because that is who you are. Not a bad message for any generation.
Remember that this book was published in 1949, and it becomes even more trail-blazing. These books set the path for modern Science Fiction writers.
"Percy Jackson's story continues. What a ride!"
This second book in the Heros of Olympus series tells the witty, exciting and flamboyant continuing story of Percy Jackson, the primary character in the five book Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This book brings back some characters from that origional series and introduces new ones from Jason Grace's Roman world breifly introduced in The Lost Hero, book one of this series.
This is a great read. It is fast paced, exciting and funny enough to entertain my entire family, which is very hard for a book to do. If a three girls, 9, 11 and 13 can all agree that they want to read this book at the same time, it says a great deal to their mom about the skills of the author. Hey, I enjoy these books too.
They even learn about Greek and Roman mythology this way too. I see Rick Riordan's books as gateway books that spark my kids interest in other, more esoteric topics. The two older girls have checked out books at the library about the above mentioned mythology because of their budding interest.
Check it out. You will not be disapointed.
"Great Series. Not My Reader."
I love this series for the same reasons mentioned by many other reviewers. I have re-read them several times. Unfortunatly, the performance on this series is, in a word, pedantic. I am sure that there are people who love Mr. Bevine's reading, and I begrudge no-one a job. I just have a hard time listening to him. I am dyslexic, and I listen to audiobooks so I can get through them faster than reading them on my own, but this series I prefer to read.
"Sniggers, Spinney-Do, Hobey-ho, Lets Go."
To quote Bobby Pendragon, "I love that guy." That guy being Spader. I love his energy, I love his zest for life, and I love his flaws, because we all have them.
This second book in the Pendragon series sets the stage for events and technology found in just about every book that follows. The relationship between Bobby and Spader is key to the series, and the reason it is rocky is just as key. It is an action packed, fun underwater romp until Saint Dane manages to poison the planet's food suply, putting Cloral civilization in the ballance. All that stands between the forces of evil and the teritories salvation is Bobby, Spader, Uncle Press and the fabled city of Farr.
I think is says a great deal about Bobby that he adopted Spader's patented phrase,
It is that way it was meant to be.

The amendment, approved by the agency's board, modifies some of the terms and technical aspects of its request for proposals for a design-build-operate contractor.
The design-build-operate process, already determined to be the least-costly means to implement the project, will result in a single contractor that will design and build the water treatment plant and pipelines, and then operate the facility for a fixed price for a specified number of years, currently set at 15.
In addition to shaving off 10 percent of the maximum cost of this contract, the changes include a requirement that competitive bidding be used for the selection of construction subcontractors and equipment, which is expected to account for 70 percent of all work. There is also a requirement that the contractor allow for "open book" reviews by the agency of profit and overhead margins for the 30 percent of the work the contractor will perform directly.
"Today's actions continued the agency's work to fiercely protect ratepayers' financial interests by lowering project costs," said Joe Krovoza in a statement, vice-chairman of the agency and mayor of Davis.
According to the agency's General Manager Dennis Diemer, the total costs for the water treatment facility, pipelines and the agency's share of the intake facility is now $234.75 million, down from the 2012 estimate of $245 million.
The Surface Water Project will pipe and treat better quality water from the Sacramento River to Woodland and Davis users by 2016.
"With this amendment, we've set a very aggressive maximum price by driving down the cost of these project elements to $151.5 million. That's a 20-percent decrease from original engineering estimates," said Bill Marble, Chairman of the Agency and a member of the Woodland City Council. "This will directly translate into costs savings and lessen pressure on rates over the long run."
The agency continues to pursue state and federal assistance in the form of grants and low-interest loans, with a goal of reducing the costs for water utility ratepayers. Word on the status of an application for the State Revolving Fund program, which provides very low-interest loans to municipal agencies, is expected within the next few weeks.

BlackBerry Messenger: The New Vehicle For Hoaxes?
McAffee posted an article about the new BlackBerry Messenger and the newest hoax being broadcasted across your buddy list. I don't know about you, but I saw the one they're referring to, though it was only once and I'm quick to correct misinformation, because it can be as harmful as the harm it pretends to warn against.
I remembered the email and it posted on other chat sites about being warned of a hacker who would format your hard drive and etc etc. I'm sure we'll see others like the one that said if you had the virus to look for the file of the Teddy Bear and delete it, and there were others, they didn't happen that long ago, the beauty of windows.
The article I'm referring to is on the McAffee Trusted Source site, and though it didn't have the whole message, I knew exactly what it was. And by now there may be more. The picture I chose really has nothing to do with BlackBerry, it has everything to do with Spam/Hoaxes.
The best thing to do if you're not sure whether or not it's true is look up on Snopes. Snopes is a great place to look up these stories and messages. And more than likely half of them are impossible. As far as prevention, the best prevention is to only give your pin out to those you trust and only accept invites from those you know. If you should get a message, and you know it's an "urban legend", please let the person know so that you can help avoid misinformation. Next, don't panic. Look it up if you're unsure. But again, precaution as to who you have on your BBM list, be calm and don't broadcast a message unless you're sure it's true and not spam or a hoax so you can help quarantine and contain the hoax because even though it's a hoax, it still causes unnecessary fretting. It's also spam. A rose by any other name is still a rose and it's the same with spam. Even if it's a hoax or joke, it's still spam.

How are we affected by sin?
There are different schools of thought concerning the extent to which sin has affected us. Without a doubt, sin brings death (Rom. 6:23). Death is not a natural part of God's creation. When sin entered the world, death came with it (Rom. 5:12). But, to what extent and how deeply are we affected by sin? The Reformed theologians hold to the doctrine of total depravity. This is the teaching that sin has affected all of what the person is in body, soul, emotions, mind, and spirit. Furthermore, the Reformed position states that the effect of sin on our persons makes unbelievers incapable of choosing God on their own since sin has left us dead, blind (Eph. 2:3), and incapable of understanding spiritual things (1 Cor. 2:14).
In contrast, the Arminian position states that sin has affected all of what we are but that it has not incapacitated the free-will choices of the unbeliever. The Arminian position states that the unbeliever is still capable of choosing or rejecting God on his own--all he needs is some prompting from the Holy Spirit.
Nevertheless, the extent of the effect of sin upon us will continue to be debated by Christian theologians since the Scripture does not explicitly declare its depth.
Sin has also affected us by its influence on the world. All we need to do is look around us to see that we grow old, get sick, and die. In other words, the world is decaying, and we first notice it in our own bodies. We also see the effect of sin on societies that war against each other. There is mayhem, killing, theft, adulteries, murders, lying, etc. Our jails are filled with those who are ruled by sin--which is rebellion against God's truth.
Also, sin has affected the world in that there are floods, earthquakes, storms, etc. These are the result of an imperfect world with sin running through it. When Adam fell, the world was affected by his fall. Adam represented all of the created order since he was given dominion over it by God. Therefore, when Adam rebelled, he took the world with him in his fall; and as the Scripture says, it awaits its own deliverance:
"For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now." (Rom. 8:20-22).
Sin will be remedied finally only by the return of Christ who will then destroy sin and death completely. Until that day, we war against the sinfulness of our fleshly bodies as well as the effects of it upon creation.

Looking for some feedback on a Sturdee Skiff as a fishing boat... Any experience out there?
post #1 of 20
2/14/11 at 8:54pm
Thread Starter
I have a 14' that I am completely rebuilding right now. There great little boats, they don't require alot of hp to get them going, a 25 hp would be great on a 16'. They work really well in the back bays and rivers, but if you get them into some chop, be prepaired to take a beating. So its really gonna depend were you plan to fish. If your wanting to go out into open water or any were that gets chop, I would look for something with a v hull, otherwise they make great little fishing boats.

This Labor Day weekend, as Americans everywhere closed out the summer with barbeques and trips to the beach, Miranda Cosgrove had a different plan. She decided to save dolphins.
Taking advantage of her break from school at the University of Southern California, where she studies film, Miranda flew to Bimini Bahamas with Oceana to film a forthcoming Public Service Announcement about the need to protect dolphins. Accompanied by her mom, Miranda landed in South Bimini amidst a rain storm and braved the elements as she drove to Bimini Sands Resort in a golf cart—the main mode of transportation on this tiny island.
Editor's note: Happy Shark Week! All week long we've been re-capping some highlights from Shark Week programming. Today we review last night's "Shark City."
Shark Week wrapped up last night with an appearance from this year's Chief Shark Officer, Andy Samberg, in "Shark City."
This episode was unique from the others that premiered so far this week in that several sharks were followed within a Bahamian marine protected area, so that viewers were able to get to know these individuals on a more personal level. Shark city seems like the ideal home for these sharks, but many sharks are migratory and this area is unfortunately an oasis in an otherwise dangerous ocean. Even though fishing is not allowed in the reserve, it occurs elsewhere nearby and sharks can become entangled in fishing gear.
I had the good fortune to spend quite a bit of time in and around the ocean and sea during the last few months of my hiatus from "Private Practice," both for work and for pleasure.
My love for the oceans is obvious, to be sure, but nothing reinvigorates my commitment to keeping our oceans clean, sustainable and beautiful more than swimming, snorkeling, sailing and swimming in them.
The waters off the coast of Anguilla and the Bahamas are so clean, clear and warm and I got to see so much ocean life, from a vast array of colorful fish to the lush and intact coral reefs. I also love to visit the azure waters of the Aegean Sea that surrounds the islands of Mykonos and Santorini.
Last month, I placed a banner on my website encouraging my fans to "Be an Ocean Hero" this summer (I pledged to clean my local beach.) So I was a little surprised (and very humbled and flattered) when some of these people – The Walshies as they're affectionately known – wrote me to relate how my involvement with Oceana inspired them to become advocates too.
With that in mind, I'd like to share with you a few inspirational notes from The Walshies that reveal the capacity for the oceans to inspire and the power each of us holds to encourage our friends, family (or even fans) to get active in their protection:
Nicole (Miami, FL): After hearing about Oceana's Be an Ocean Hero pledge, now I too look beyond to what lies ahead, not only the superficial aspect of our waterways. Thanks Kate and thanks Oceana!

So I got this really fun assignment from a really great client, but the perspective was boggling me for some reason (SOMEtimes I tend to over think and create a bigger issue for myself). Anyhooo, I remembered Google has a 3D modeling program called SketchUp which is perfect for this perspective problem I was having. I created a very simple 3D model of the basic components and...voila! Instant access to a skyward view from the bottom of a well!
Here's a video of me maneuvering around my little model to get *just* the right angle.

Staples Center (map it)
1111 South Figueroa Street
Los Angeles, CA 90015
Year Opened: 1999
Capacity: 19,079
There are no tickets available at this time.
I could not come up with a more appropriate way to start this review other than, "My, what a difference a year makes!"
In 2010-11, the Clippers were lining up brochures in Los Angeles tourism spots next to coupons for Disneyland and Universal Studios.
The 2012 season will probably go down as the biggest spike in Clippers fan growth, which started back in Buffalo in 1970. The franchise later moved to San Diego in 1978 and eventually the Clippers would land in their current city, albeit playing in the California Memorial Sport Arena.
Then in 1999, the Clippers would get a new home in the Staples Center, just a year after construction began on the privately financed $375 million arena. The Clippers would now have to share their new home with some other tenants in the Lakers, Sparks, and Kings.
When you first arrive to the Staples Center, you will quickly notice the large red "Rise Up" banner near the top of the building. This is how the Clippers personalize the building on the nights that they are the tenant. It's a needed touch as the plaza below has 3 statues dedicated to the Lakers and one to the Kings. Beyond just sporting events, the arena keeps itself busy, hosting over 250 events and watching approximately 4 million visitors pass through the doors annually.
While hosting a gamut of events, the arena is most known for its ability to host up to 19,079 basketball fans. Two-thirds of the seats are lower-bowl seating, so most fans get an up-close view of the action. Unfortunately for the average fan, there are also 2,500 club seats and 160 luxury suites, so the space for the more inexpensive seats is limited.
As you walk into the arena, you begin to feel the Clipper environment. The fans are clad in red and blue colors. As you walk towards your seats through the black curtains, you'll see the court is now surrounded by red and the paint is colored blue. The open wall space throughout the interior of the arena is covered by Clippers banners. The upper wall space in corners of the arena has projection Clippers logos and the ridiculously impressive scoreboard is now flashing red and blue.
The public address announcer, David Courtney, will soon welcome you to Clipper basketball and you'll be in for an entirely different experience than the other LA-based basketball team presents.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
During my first few visits to Staples Center, I never took note of the food selection. This could have been a result of having many food options in nearby areas or being turned off by the site of seeing a McDonald's in a professional arena.
Upon closer look however, I noticed potentially more food options than I've ever witnessed at any other venue.
I started off by checking out Camacho's Cantina, perfectly suitable for any team in Southern California. Here, they offered Camacho's burrito ($9.50), nacho chips with guacamole ($6.50), a Camacho Bowl (choose a meat and up to five toppings for $9.50), two soft tacos (carne asada or chicken for $7.75), the Camacho nachos ($8.50), tamales (2 pork or chicken for $13.75), or the tostada salad ($9.50).
The arena has a vast showing of encased meat. Some of the options include the Frito pie dog (chili, cheddar cheese), tailgate on a plate (baked beans, potato salad, bbq sauce, and cheddar cheese), taco dog (taco), big kid dog (mac n cheese and fritos), and deli dog (sauerkraut and thousand island). Lastly there is the Downtown dog, skyscraper dog, spicy Italian sausage, and baja sausage; most options run from $5 to $8.
Some of the sweeter options can be found at Popcornopolis. The everyday popcorn can be had for $4.50 or a bottomless size for $6. Other options include Zebra $6.75, Kettle, Caramel, or Honey Barbeque for $5.50. The famous Wetzel's Pretzels are $4.75 (includes butter/salt, cinnamon/sugar, butter/almonds, or the nonfat option).
If none of these options has generated an interested, you could stop by the California Pizza Kitchen (pizzas for $9-$10, BBQ chicken chopped salad $9.25).
The Whistle Stop (which seemed to offer deli items and pasta) had turkey or pastrami sandwich for ($11.75), French dip ($10.75), potato salad or cole slaw for $3.50, sloppy joe sliders ($8.50), meatball mania ($12), "Victory Knot" giant pretzel ($14), garden salad ($10.25), hummus and pita plate ($8.25), and multiple pasta dishes for $9.50.
Another rather interesting stadium option is the sushi bar. You can get a variety of sushi plates ranging from $8 to $15.25 and pick up some fresh edamame on the side for $8.25. The "Sunset Plate" is probably the most expensive option in the arena for $45.
Of course, there is also a McDonald's, which offers food that you cannot find anywhere else in America. McDonalds $5-$8 per entr�e and $5.75 to add fries and a soda.
The beverage options start with a large soda for $5, a Bottomless soda ($6.75), hot chocolate/coffee ($3), vitamin water ($5), Dasani water ($4), cocktails ($8.50 to $10.50 depending on quality of liquor used), specialty drinks including margarita (roughly $12), and wine (house for $6.75, premium wine $9). Beer is offered in two tiers with two sizes each (regular draft $8.25 & large $9.50 or premium regular $11 and large premium for $12).
The atmosphere is certainly at the top of the Clippers experience. During games I am frightened to leave my seat for fear of missing the next rim-rocking dunk, "lob city" alley-oop, third row blocked shot, or Clippers fast break.
It's a wildly different atmosphere from the one offered by the Lakers, yet still provides one of the best in the NBA.
After a rousing introduction of the some of the league's brightest stars, the Clippers do take a number of actions to get the fans motivated however. While it's odd that the team does not have a mascot, they do have the "Clipper Spirit (dance/cheer team)" and "Fast Break Crew," which is a group of dancers that offer a "trick-filled" performance to get the fans out of their seat.
During a Clippers game, there is also an arena DJ that keeps the music pumping during all breaks in the action. Some of these breaks are also filled with the "Dizzy bat race" and the notable "Halfcourt Shot" (where a fan won tickets to see USC and UCLA in the Pac-12 Tournament at Staples Center). Lastly, some other interesting promos, such as the fan cam, 3-point shootout, and t-shirt toss kept the excitement going.
During many games, the videoscreen will show a young fan cheering who proceeds to take off Clippers jersey after Clippers jersey that he is wearing in layers, which usually sends the crowd into an excited pace.
Despite the numerous suites, it does appear to be a family friendly venue when the Clippers are hosting a game. While this presents both pros and cons, it seems that it results in a mostly positive atmosphere as there seemed to be boisterous reaction for every Clippers' bucket.
Over several years of stopping by the Staples Center, it is rather amazing how much the neighborhood has changed and developed. You hear of many development projects, but rarely do you see them come to fruition like this one. Sitting next to the convention center, the arena is part of the 4,000,000 square foot L.A. LIVE.
This area includes the Nokia plaza, which you'll often find filled with fans before or after the game with all sorts of newscasts and promotions going on. Not far away is the Nokia Theater which has hosted the ESPY Awards, American Idol, the Emmy Awards, and the MTV Music Video Awards.
Also nearby is the Grammy Museum, the Ritz Carlton and JW Marriott Hotels, a 14-screen movie theater, and the ESPN Los Angeles broadcasting studio.
Just across the street from the arena, you'll find one of the few remaining ESPN Zone restaurants. Here, you'll find a lot of your typical pre and post game fare, but what sets this venue apart is the sports arena, or arcade for adults.
Not far away is the Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounge. This spot is far from the grimy bowling lane you may have become accustomed to in the past. A rather upscale bowling alley, you'll find all of your favorite drinks here and comfort that few bowling alleys can offer.
Other notable spots nearby include Yard House (200+ beer options), Wolfgang Puck (contemporary bar and grill), Fleming's (aim for the best wine and food pairings), Rock N' Fish (try the Navy grog and oak grilled artichoke), Rivera Restaurant (Latin), Farm of Beverly Hills, Lawry's Carvery (known for its prime rib), Palm Restaurant (great seafood appetizers), or Katsuya (Japanese).
One of the Los Angeles food landmarks includes The Pantry or Caf� Pantry. Fans of all walks love this place because they can get hearty meals 24 hours a day. In fact, they could have asked for a meal at pretty much any time over the past 88 years with the exception of one day (I'll let you do your own research on why it was closed that one day). Give yourself some time to check this place out as the lines often spill outside of the building and around the block. Please note however that this is a cash-only establishment.
Of course if none of this suits you, keep in mind that you are in downtown LA. Just minutes away, you can probably get your hands on any type of food you fancy.
I can't say enough about my respect for Clippers fans that have stayed true over the years. While millions of fans have flocked to the other side of the hallway amidst the success of the other LA team, many have stuck with the Clippers despite the lack of banners bearing their nickname. Keep in mind that this franchise has had only two winning seasons since moving to Los Angeles. Talk about sticking it out through thick and thin! These fans have stuck by their team through many frustrating seasons and still bounce back year after year to support this team.
Ultimately, you'll find the fans are loyal because the organization is much more fan-centric than most. There are no high price tag courtside seats next to the bench and many more promotions to draw families to the game.
Of course I have to mention some of the more notable Clipper fans, Billy Crystal, Penny Marshall and Frankie Muniz. Pop singer Rihanna has also recently been spotted at many games.
Probably the fan most worth mentioning is the "Clipper Darrell." If you haven't heard about this fan of fans, I'd recommend checking out his site (http://clipperdarrell.com/) just to read some of the press on him. I had the fortunate opportunity of catching him for a hello and a photo at the ticket booth picking up his tickets on the very night I visited and the guy couldn't have been nicer. I became more impressed during the several games I attended where he would get up from his aisle seat and start a chant or get the crowd pumped up. His most notable chant is the "U-G-L-Y, you ain't�" that he shouts during opposing player free throws. My favorite story revolving around Clipper Darrell is that Mark Cuban offered to relocate him to Dallas and put him on the Mavericks payroll, but Darrell remained steadfast in his allegiance to the Clippers.
So while I've spent many sentences applauding the Clipper fans, the drawback is that there are very few of them. For some of the notable opponents that have been in town recently, upper level tickets could be had for under $5. At a recent game against one of the best teams in the NBA, many seats were empty. This was mind-boggling as LA is a town that loves basketball and the Clippers sport a very entertaining team, so I can only attribute these to a lack of a large, committed fan base.
The Staples Center is located in the heart of downtown Los Angles, so it is accessible from most major freeways. The arena is easily accessible from the 405, 110, and 10 freeways.
There are roughly 3,300 parking spaces at Staples Center and approximately 16,000 within a five to ten minute walk. I've witnessed parking as low as $5, but you should expect to pay $10-$15 depending on the crowd. I have recently noticed that the prices on many of the lots rise closer to game time, so it may be worthwhile to get there early.
One of the beautiful things about the Staples Center is that the Pico Station is just a block from the arena and the 7th Street Station is just a five minute walk away. Visit the Metro's Trip Planner site for more details.
Once you arrive at the Staples Center, you will have to go through some metal detectors, so much sure you pack light. This is one of the few arenas to do this practice, but is well worth it for the additional safety. Also be sure to review the Staples Center camera policy before bringing your camera as many have been turned away.
The arena offers the 100 level, 200 level with some great seats, the three levels of suites, and the small upper level (300). Huge escalators will take will take you up and down from the upper levels and unfortunately the size and speed of these create a backlog of fans. What I find most interesting about these escalators is that they slowly pass the club level, allowing the fans to peer in and gain something to aspire to.
The restrooms are extremely spacious and look like they were constructed yesterday. These are kept in tip-top shape despite the millions of visitors that pass through them annually.
With the Clippers, it is challenging to pinpoint specific pricepoints in regards to tickets. Other than when the Lakers are the visiting team, tickets are very accessible regardless of the level of competition. Even with all of the hype surrounding the 2011-2012 season, some seats can be had for as low as $5 and even lower level seats can be found for under $50. The Clippers also offer many great promotions in the form of multi-game packages and other promotions.
The food prices are elevated, but are similar to what you will find in most of downtown Los Angeles. The parking is in line with prices you will find in much smaller markets around the NBA at $10 to $15.
This is a great way to see some of the NBA's best players at a reasonable rate. The Clippers have several players on the roster that any NBA fan would love to see, so it would be unreasonable to pass on the Clippers if the opportunity presents itself.
Every time I visit the Staples Center, regardless of my seating location, I always journey up to the 300 level and take in the moment on the balcony behind the Staples Center sign. Up here, you'll find some of the most passionate fans talking about their gameday experience. There are plenty of tables and chairs to sit down with your favorite beverage before or during breaks in the game. If you go to the edge of the balcony, you have some great views of the plaza below, the Nokia plaza, and the Ritz Carlton hotel.
Fans should certainly take note of the 4HD scoreboard with vivid color and crystal clear images allowing fans in every section of the arena to know what's going on. Perhaps most impressive here is that there is no banner over the bottom of the scoreboard and fans in the lower section no longer have to cramp their neck to look up at the scoreboard. There are HD screens on the underside of the scoreboard so that fans and players can quickly take a glance up to see a replay or the score. I also liked the "pop-up" information shown on the scoreboard that informed us that their starting power forward was 4th in the NBA in rebounds, or that the team's backup guard listens to "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins prior to every game.
On the ground level, any fan can access a few of the additional items at the Staples Center. There is the Sports Museum at Staples Center, the Verizon Studio (get some free photos), Art of the Game Sports Art and Memorabilia Gallery, as well as an auction stand where you can bid on your favorite memorabilia.
Lastly, you can really get a feel for the importance of the Staples Center as you walk through the concourse and you see some of the images on walls throughout arena commemorating the big events that have been held there.
While most of LA shares the excitement surrounding this team, I hope that the newfound success doesn't quickly alienate the team from its fan-friendly identity. In years past, the team would market their games alongside many of LA's many other tourist options. Hopefully this will translate in the team saving marketing costs and holding ticket prices rather than gouging prices as the fan base begins to grow.
I've always felt attending a Clippers game was entertaining prior to the recent acquisitions, and obviously the new lineup has taken the experience to a whole new level. If visiting LA, be sure to give it a try as it's a vastly different experience from what basketball fans will see at a Lakers game.
Lastly, as I've stated in years past, I would like to see the Clippers take an extra few steps to personalize the Staples Center on their gamedays. Unfortunately, all of the seats at the top of the lower level are purple, and if these seats are not filled, they stick out like a sore thumb among the Clippers' red and blue colors. Secondly, if you glance up towards the lower 300 sections, you can't miss all of those glaring gold banners. I would recommend a more neutral color for the seats and perhaps dropping a large black curtain over all of the banners not representing the home team during games.

When you check into your hotel upon arriving in Los Angeles, you may notice a pamphlet for Clippers basketball among the attraction ideas. Unfortunately, the other team in Los Angeles seems to garner most of the basketball attention, so the Clippers try to appeal to more than just the typical fan. By no means would the Clippers only consider the Los Angeles area their fanbase, as the franchise began in Buffalo in 1970 and later moved to San Diego in 1978. Eventually the Clippers would land in their current city, albeit playing in the California Memorial Sport Arena.
Then in 1999, the Clippers would get a new home in the Staples Center, just a year after construction began on the privately financed $375 million arena. The Clippers would now have to share their new home with some other tenants in the Lakers, Sparks, and Kings.

The Staples Center in the heart of downtown Los Angeles changed everything when it opened in 1999. Los Angeles, you see, is not a city as much as it is a large expanse of space made up of several cities all of which often refer to themselves as "L.A." Inglewood, Hawthorne, Orange are all most definitely not L.A., but when people who live there are asked where they are from they invariably say L.A. It's just easier to say that than to explain how you are about 30 minutes Southeast of Los Angeles.
Staples brought L.A. together. It represents a town center, a central meeting place for all of L.A. to gather. In addition to uniting a very diverse and displaced Los Angeles it also revitalized its downtown.
Downtown L.A. was a place everyone wanted to see when they traveled here but truthfully before Staples arrived there wasn't much to see. If you strayed too far from the well lit areas then you risked seeing much more than you would have ever hoped for. Frankly, before Staples, Downtown L.A. was ugly. You went there to get a bargain on clothes, jewelry or a pirated DVD and then you left. Quick.
Today downtown is a thriving area with Staples as its anchor. It's a place to go walk around, eat, shop and sure even watch a Clippers game.
Staples Center is no longer the new kid on the stadium block. Its bells and whistles have been matched by some and surpassed by others. It remains however an impressive venue to watch a basketball game. The Clippers are a basketball team; no really they are. They were in fact the only basketball team in L.A. that was rocking Staples in 2006. That was when the Clippers made a run in the NBA playoffs that saw them fall one game short of the Western Conference Finals. 2006 seems a long way away today however. In 2010 the Clippers are, well, not so good.
What will it be like watching a sub-par team in an above-par stadium? I am here to find out!

Well, here we are again: Answering questions from the teeming masses for your entertainment. I actually enjoy this stuff more than I care to admit. YouTube keeps telling me I should monetize these videos, but I can't imagine I'd actually make more than a nickel on these things, so it doesn't seem worth it. But if anyone wants to send me some money to guarantee I don't start running ads on these, that'd be swell.
This time around, the question is from the infamous Miss Snark, and involves my storage techniques for the eleventy billion manuscripts I've written in my lifetime.
Now, doesn't that make you want to tip me? I accept money, booze, and interesting stones.

Here's a confession. I hate winter. Snow, ice, cold, salted roads, warm coats, hats, gloves, boots, and skating - I hate it all and I'd rather be tranquilized that endure any of it. End Rant.
Anyway, here's a great cold weather remedy. Good Night Keaton's "Next To Mexico". A warm and beach-ready tune with a hint of "Cruel Summer", all wrapped up in the breezy soft tones of Mereki. Let it keep you sunny!
After touring over the last years as a drummer, and making the move from Melbourne to Los Angeles, an introduction is owed to GOOD NIGHT KEATON, aka Aaron Shanahan of Miami Horror.
Writing and producing for a number of years, it was only a matter of time until Good Night Keaton was formed. An ode of exploration into not only his love of classic dance numbers, but with a hint of inspiration from the world that was 1980's comedy as well when names like Chase, Candy and Keaton meant something.
With a series of originals to be released into the fall of 2012, along with a number of well received remixes already released for such respected acts as Gigamesh, Saint Lou Lou, and more, Good Night Keaton begins his move to the centre of the dance floor. A touring member of Miami Horror, Good Night Keaton has grown into Aaron's outlet for dance, disco, and funky production.
I'm Good Night Keaton, and I want you to dance with me.

These comments were made publicly at the December 4th Board of Education meeting.
I cannot express enough my disappointment and frustration with the Board over the way it has handled the CAC. The prior committee produced a report that was widely praised by both the community and the Board of Education. There were suggestions in the report that could shape the budget presentation (both in content and design) as well as ideas for cost savings in the near term and the long run.
Yet despite the praise and the publicly stated desire of the Board to have this activity be meaningful, there has been no follow-through whatsoever. I might remind you that you called me to volunteer my time in this effort and I took the request very seriously, putting in many hours of work. I didn't ask for the task. It took several months before the administration even reviewed the report with the Board, or should I call it a rebuttal. At that review, the level of discourse and questioning by Board members suggested that many had already forgotten the contents of the report. This disrespect of our efforts was nothing short of shameful.
And now you have come back to the table, in late November, to form a new committee. It is too late to get involved with the budgeting process for next year in any substantive way and over the last 8 months you have taken no steps to pursue any of the ideas in the report. Instead, the Board President suggests that you start from scratch, with all new people, and financial acumen not being a prerequisite. I guess on that latter point at least you'll have good company.
All of this is more worrisome given the sober news provided by our auditor last week. It sounds like rising New York State pension contributions will add somewhere between $4 and $6 million dollars to a structural deficit that I project at roughly $3 million for next year. So that's a $7-9 million hole we need to fill. The pension piece will be covered by property tax increases outside the tax cap, which suggests a tax rate increase in the high single digits. But we will also need staffing and program cuts. Will you go after busing again or cut into our enrichment programs? Italian CILA is an obvious candidate to start.
In any event, I wish you luck with the next budget because you're going to need it, since you will have frittered away another year without making any progress in getting a handle on your costs.

Artist of the moment Shepard Fairey's work for 2008 was certainly not limited to the now ubiquitous image of Obama. Fairey was also commissioned by Penguin Books to design covers for the re-release of the Orwell classics 1984 and Animal Farm. Both covers have been produced as posters, which sold quickly at the initial UK launch. Obey will be offering them to US customers on December 31, 2008. The pair hits for $140.

A fitted parka-style, insulated snowsports jacket, The North Face Women's Baker Deluxe Jacket is the ultimate in super warm luxury. With all the technical features and more than just a hint of style, this jacket will keep heads turning even after the snow has melted!
Using Heatseeker insulation throughout and a HyVent fabric shell, the Baker Deluxe combines uncompromising warmth with waterproof protection and breathability - breathability which is also enhanced with pit-zip vents. For maximum warmth, the adjustable hood is insulated, but the cosy glamour of the faux fur trim is removable so you can vary the look. A range of pockets will come in handy whether you're carrying keys, phone and daily essentials, or goggles, lift-pass and motivational tunes.
When steep and deep snow is on the agenda, engage the snap-back powder skirt and hook your hands into the Lycra 'wristie' cuffs to keep out the wind and the powder; when you hit the high street though, the snow skirt comes right out and leaves you with a cute, fitted winter coat.

|Great jacket but not suitable for my needs
|Reviewed By Tania, 26 Mar 2013
This jacket is really well made and good value at this price however the hood is really massive, and the jacket too long for my needs. These two criteria were deal-breakers for me, however if you don't plan on using the hood and prefer a longer line jacket then give this a try .
|Top Quality piece of Skiwear
|Reviewed By C, 22 Jan 2013
This jacket is the best ski jacket, and possibly best purchase i have ever made.
|Absolutely awesome jacket.
|Reviewed By C, 22 Jan 2013
I love this coat, and it was definitely worth the cost. I have now had it for a few years now, and it is still going strong. Excellent insulation, have sat in chairlifts, in the Alps, during blizzards with just a base layer beneath it and was absolutely fine. Great waterproofing, too. The high collar was a selling point for me, and is all in all a very very good ski jacket.
|Amazing jacket
|Reviewed By Rebecca, 25 Nov 2012
Really warm, loads of pockets for ski paraphernalia as well as snow skirt and wrist cuffs. The fur around the hood also comes off. Fits really well- got an XS and don't look like I'm wearing a huge luffa jacket!
|Coolest warm jacket!
|Reviewed By Cris, 24 Oct 2011
it's a top quality skiing jacket. keeps you very warm and you don't need to wear many layers. the longer inner sleeves for the hands are great. hood can be detached. very good sale price at cotswold.
|Great jacket
|Reviewed By Ailsa, 09 Oct 2011
This is a great jacket. Relatively light weight but very warm. Fur hood lining is detachable for those who find it too much. Particularly like the Lycra cuffs to keep your hands warm.

Press release issued: 29 September 2010
A new study led by academics at Bristol University's Dementia Research Group, based at Frenchay Hospital, will look at the relationship between dementia and high blood pressure, and how blood flow is regulated in the brain.
Academics at Bristol University's Dementia Research Group, based at Frenchay Hospital, have been awarded a grant of over £266,000 from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) to assess whether drugs that block a small naturally produced molecule called endothelin-1 can improve blood flow through the brain.
In animal models of AD a reduction in blood flow occurs well before the onset of Alzheimer-like damaging changes to brain tissue. The most potent cause of the narrowing of blood vessels is a small molecule called endothelin-1 (ET-1). This molecule is produced by the action of endothelin-converting enzymes (ECEs).
The Bristol-based academics recently found that ECE-2 in the brain of AD patients was abnormally high. One of the hallmarks of AD is the large amount of amyloid β, a toxic molecule which accumulates in the brain of AD patients. The Bristol-based researchers have shown that ECE-2 production increased when nerve cells were exposed to amyloid β, long before people start to display the memory problems recognised in AD. The academics therefore suggested that an important cause of reduced blood flow through the brain in AD (and to high blood pressure, which has been linked to AD) is likely to be an increase in ET-1, resulting from the stimulatory effect of amyloid β on ECE-2 production.
Seth Love, Professor of Neuropathology, said: "We hope our study will shed light on the role of amyloid β. We know it to be involved in AD but it is produced throughout life and what it does in the normal brain has long been a mystery.
"In addition, our research could have important implications for blood pressure control in people with hypertension as well as for treatment of diseases such as stroke and dementia where effective treatments remain limited. Drugs that block ET-1 are already licensed for the treatment of other human diseases and could be used to treat people who have elevated levels of amyloid β and increased ECE-2 activity, whether in the context of established AD or stroke, or at an earlier stage prior to the development of irreversible brain damage."
Professor Jeremy Pearson, Associate Medical Director at the BHF, added: "Thanks to the generous donations of our supporters in Bristol we're able to fund vital research to fight diseases of the heart and circulation. This latest grant joins our portfolio of world-leading research to improve prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of heart diseases."
The Dementia Research Group, headed by Professor Seth Love and Dr Patrick Kehoe, is focused on the molecular epidemiology and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The Group's research programme translates a number of interwoven research themes using molecular genetic, biochemical, cell culture-based and neuropathological approaches to the study of dementia. The Research Group is part of the University of Bristol's School of Clinical Sciences [formerly the Department of Clinical Science at North Bristol] and is based in the John James Laboratories at Frenchay Hospital.
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is the nation's heart charity, dedicated to saving lives through pioneering research, patient care, campaigning for change and by providing vital information. But we urgently need help. We rely on donations of time and money to continue our life-saving work. Because together we can beat heart disease.

Today is Ajmal Kasab's birthday, for those who don't know who he is, he is one of the terrorists of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He is the lone survivor of that infamous event and is currently in jail for his crimes awaiting the death sentence. I don't believe in the death sentence, particularly in this case it will make him a martyr.
In order to celebrate it, terrorists (because there is no other word for their action) have attacked Mumbai again. This time killing 13 and wounding 81.
It's a senseless waste of life. It's bad enough for most people without having to worry about whether they will die next.
It's a tale of woe. India and Pakistan's peace talks broke down over this, as Pakistan was slowly forced to admit that Kasab was a Pakistani national. Mounting evidence for Pakistan's involvement in the support of terrorism began to raise it's ugly head (particularly considering Osama was found there). India was set to resume talks in a couple of weeks. This will not help that. Terrorism has hurt Pakistan's position and the value of it's word.
There is no way to fight this unless we work together. Muslims need to understand that their faith has a problem in that it encourages this sort of behaviour. Everyone needs to work to deal with it. Otherwise it just turns people against them which encourages further attacks and a spiralling atmosphere of distrust and divisiveness. If the occurs then the bad guys have won.

Directed Patrols Unit (Surveillance Unit)
The Directed Patrol Unit was conceived by
Sheriff Louis M. Ackal to supplement the uniform patrol division. Its primary
function was to work the areas of the city of New Iberia and the parish of
Iberia where there was occurring a large number of burglaries, thefts and
criminal damage to property. The program has been so successful that it has been
incorporated into the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Bureau of Investigations. Not only
does it supplement the patrol division, but also narcotics, detectives and sex
offender registry where surveillance is required releasing the members of the
other sections to continued with other investigations.
