Mark Mulcahy
8:30 p.m. July 12 at the Spaceland Ballroom, 295 Treadwell Street, Hamden. (203) 288-6400, spacelandballroom.com. With The Mountain Movers, Jounce and the Backyard Committee.
7 p.m. July 13 at the Iron Horse Music Hall, 20 Center Street, Northampton, Mass. (413) 586-8686, http://www.iheg.com
Mark Mulcahy's been drenched. He's shot himself in the foot again. He's been staggering. He's been out to play. He's been the one (Lee). He's been glad.
Now he's… well, the song titles of Mulcahy's new solo album include such un-upbeat sentiments as "Bailing Out on Everything Again," "Poison Candy Heart," "Badly Madly" and the pick hit "She Makes the World Turn Backwards."
But when asked how he was doing, in a phone conversation last week, Mulcahy answered quickly and unequivocally, "Everything's great." He has a new album, done on his own terms (as has all the input of his solo career). He's playing out "like a madman." He refers to recent shows as "the best time I've ever had there" or "such a good time."
Mark Mulcahy has just released his first album of new work since 2007's Love's the Only Thing That Shuts Me Up. In 2008, Mulcahy's wife Melissa died suddenly, and in 2009 a worldwide community of the singer-songwriter's fans — including Michael Stipe, Frank Black, Thom Yorke and dozens of other well-known acts — showed their support with some all-star concerts (including one at Toad's Place in New Haven) and the tribute album Ciao My Shining Star, which contained covers of 41 separate Mulcahy songs.
Mark Mulcahy's compositions can be layered, contradictory, disarming. Some of the lyrical observations can seem disingenuous, pretty pictures from a distant dream, but they invariably get deeper and richer and scarily honest. With his rangy yet perfectly controlled voice, candid and confessional lyrics, theatrical character development and intricate instrumental arrangements, Mark Mulcahy songs aren't always easy to digest. They linger in your soul.
In late April, Mulcahy played out at the Meriden Daffodil Festival, where he's played off and on since the mid-'90s, but not for the past several years. This August he'll play the renowned indie rock festival End of the Road in Dorset, England. In late June he surfaced at the Solid Sound Festival at Mass MoCA, where he played a full set with his band but also took part in a "pop-up concert" in one of the modern art museum galleries, performing "Even Better" from his days as frontman for Miracle Legion, accompanied by Pat Sansone.
"I've known Pat for a million years," Mulcahy marvels. "One time I ran into him and he says 'I'm in Wilco now.' Have you seen Wilco? Pat's at stage left, playing guitar and piano. Doing that old song [in the MoCA gallery], we were just looking at each other, probably thinking about everything that had happened since those days."
On July 12 — the day before he does a show at the Iron Horse Music Hall in his current musical stomping grounds of Western Massachusetts — Mulcahy will perform at the Spaceland Ballroom in Hamden, just a few miles from the downtown New Haven where his music career began in the 1970s and '80s. Back then, he was a drummer in bands such as the Saucers and a promoter at one of the area's most important punk/new wave venues, The Grotto (now the site of Gotham Citi at the corner of Church and Crown streets). New Haven is where Mulcahy turned from drumming to singing and formed Miracle Legion. That band's 1984 debut cassette The Backyard EP has been deemed "a landmark" by no less a music-history authority than the Trouser Press Guide. It led to a series of albums that helped define, then expand the definition, of alt-rock or indie rock. Miracle Legion was assumed in many circles to be ascending at the same speed, with the same stature, as REM or the Smiths.
That propulsive momentum stalled and collapsed in the early '90s when a big-label deal went awry. Miracle Legion squeezed out one final album, Portrait of a Damaged Family, on its own. Then several of its members became Polaris, performing songs Mulcahy wrote for the cult classic kids-TV series "The Adventures of Pete & Pete." (Polaris, which can be seen playing "Summerbaby" in the classic episode A Hard Day's Pete, was part of an ecstatic Pete & Pete reunion last year in Los Angeles.) When the show was cancelled after three seasons, Mulcahy quietly regrouped as a solo artist, teaching himself guitar and finding a new sonic context for his expressive singing voice.
It seems convenient to divide Mark Mulcahy's career into the Miracle Legion years, the Polaris years and the solo years. The Spaceland Ballroom show may seem to unite them quite handily, since Mulcahy will be bringing work from his Springfield singer-songwriter days to his old band-scene stomping grounds of New Haven. Opening bands on Friday include Jounce, featuring actor Danny Tamberelli ("Little Pete" from "The Adventures of Pete & Pete") on bass and the Mountain Movers; while igniting his solo career in the '90s, Mulcahy played drums for a bit in Mountain Movers frontman Daniel Greene's Butterflies of Love.
But as Mulcahy puts it, the rules for how he makes music keep changing, no matter who he's working with. The career phases can be meaningless. That's how he likes it. When Miracle Legion's original rhythm section left, for instance, Mulcahy says he and the band's founding guitarist "Mr. Ray" Neal changed up their whole working style, perused a list of tunes that hadn't worked for the band, reshaped the tunes and did their next album — the classic Me & Mr. Ray — as a duo. The songs on Mulcahy's first solo album, Fathering, were developed over a long series of live performances at bars and small clubs, many of them in New Haven, then recorded and rerecorded at various studios until the ideal sound was found. "I would do the same songs a couple of different times, at three different places. I didn't even know I was doing it, in a way."
This year, Mark Mulcahy could have simply reemerged with a long-gestating album, produced with New Haven-based producer Scott Amore, that he put aside years ago. "But I didn't put it out. It was all over the place. It can't be tamed, can't be finished. I wanted to put out something I did now, today." To that end, he and producer/bandmate Henning Ohlenbusch put together a plan where, Mulcahy explains, "We'd pick a date when we would record, then I would write a song, we'd figure out who was going to play on it, and then do it."
Dear Mark J. Mulcahy, I Love You, was made in 11 days. "With Miracle Legion, we'd always keep a list of the songs we had and then, because it was such a long time between records, we'd just choose songs from the list. But I always wanted to be in a situation where I could record a song in one day. It's nice to have a purpose, to know that I'm writing a song, and then be able to do something with it right away."
"Some days were easier than others. One day, we needed a cellist, so that's a whole day. But another time, I brought in my demo for 'Bailing Out on Everything,' and Henning said 'I don't think we can improve on that,' so we were done for the day."
Mulcahy continues to write modern "pictographic ballad operas" with Ben Katchor (the writer/cartoonist behind Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer)—they've done five so far, staged at small New York City theaters and even at the New York Public Library. But mostly Mulcahy takes full advantage of the vast musical talent found in Springfield, Mass., where he's now lived for over 15 years. "It's really a wonderland. I was watching my friend's band the other day, and everyone in it has like two solo records out." Mulcahy has a neighbor who is in the Young@Heart Chorus, an ensemble of modern-pop friendly elderly singers who were the subject of an award-winning documentary. Mulcahy arranged for the group to appear in the video for "She Makes the World Turn Backwards," acting as the song's empowered chorus that berates the singer with responses like "I don't care" and "We know, we know, we know." That dramatic device was also used on the underrated Mulcahy track "Pasadena Love Song," a bonus track on the UK edition of his 1997 solo debut Fathering. "It's a live audience participation thing that I designed," Mulcahy muses. "When I play these songs, I want people to be so excited that they join in... but only when I want them to," he adds with a chuckle. "When we did [the Miracle Legion standard] 'Ladies from Town' [at Mass MoCA] the place was going bananas."
When asked if an upbeat number such as "Let the Fireflies Fly Away," which is full of jokey phrasings and redolent with zoo-animal imagery, comes from playing with his 7-year-old twin daughters, he suggests that "that may come from a notion in my head," then avers, "I kind of wrote this time just to write songs, to get completely out of my own head.

This is a guest post by Aaron Long, an experienced online content marketing expert specialises in SEO and content marketing.
Like any free internet service or communication medium, social media is heavily abused and exploited by way of constant spamming, fake accounts and other unsolicited marketing techniques.
That leaves those of us with real, honest content walking a thin line between spamming and social sharing. That line isn't always so easy to spot, especially when it comes to something like Twitter, where sharing links is all it was ever really designed to do.
Though it's slowly being devalued by spammers, Twitter is still one of the primary methods by which bloggers share links and promote their content. This begs the question: When you write a great post, is it "OK" to share it more than once?
The short answer is yes, though there are several things we want to take note of and a few guidelines to follow before we do it.
The first thing that I would encourage everyone to do is to go to StatusPeople.com and check out their new tool that checks your Twitter account for fake followers. Some of the more popular twitter accounts have large percentages of fake followers, and it's definitely something that can affect anyone.
Chances are that your score will come back pretty good, but just check to be sure you're not tweeting to a bunch of robots.
Once you have that out of the way, here are several factors to consider when you have a great blog post that you want to send out more than a few times.
1. Space your article tweets out with personal tweets. – Regardless of whether you're posting the same article or different articles, make sure you keep your blog promotion tweets separated by a reasonable amount of personal tweets.
If you're constantly just pushing links out to your followers, it's likely that people will start unfollowing you because they'll feel like you're simply spamming them.
Adding some tweets that are more focused on being personal and relational will help dispel that feeling among your followers. This is something you can do all the time that sets precedence for sharing a post more than once.
2. Don't tweet too much overall. – If your overall volume of tweets is too high, regardless of whether they're personal or blog related, you run the risk of losing followers for the same reason as number one.
The key to tweeting is moderation, so you need to keep your overall number of tweets down between five or ten per day before you start thinking about double tweeting.
3. Reserve double-tweeting for only your best or most popular posts. – If you've written a post that you feel is "so-so" or that doesn't get a whole lot of traffic or attention, you probably have better choices for double tweeting.
Particularly if you're in the habit of tweeting all of your posts after you publish them; you'd be better off tweeting the more popular posts at regular intervals.
4. If you're going to tweet an article multiple times, make sure that article doesn't get tweeted to close to itself. – What I mean by this, is that if you're dealing with one post or article and you want to tweet it five or six times, stretch those tweets out over enough time so that you'll have plenty of other tweets in between them.
What we're trying to avoid is having the same post with the same link on your twitter feed over and over again.
Tweeting a blog post multiple times is definitely fine if you follow the etiquette that we've laid out here. Twitter is still a great tool for getting your content out to people who are interested in it, as long as you take care to avoid spamming and avoid getting into a situation where people are fatigued by your tweets.
It's a fine line, but we all walk it.

Boston's Bike Czar Nicole Freedman has achieved her goal to make Boston a biking city. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has announced that his fair city, previously known as the worst cycling city in the country, will be getting one of the nation's first public bike sharing systems, dubbed "Hubway," from BIXI Bikes and the Public Bike Sharing Company. To be launched in early July, Boston's bike sharing system will offer the public a green alternative to car share systems already in place and will work in a similar way. Customers can pick up a bike from any bike sharing station, then return it to any other station in the system.
Boston hopes to follow in the footsteps of the nation's first successful bike sharing program, Capital Bikeshare, which was launched in Washington D.C. last year. Five North American cities already have PBSC bike share programs: Minneapolis, Toronto, Ottowa/Gatineau, Montreal, and Washington D.C./Arlington. The Boston Hubway program will be run by BIXI's U.S. partner Alta Bicycle Share, which already runs the program in Washington D.C. and one in Melbourne, Australia.

|when I am not thinking about jessica alba or winning the mega millions (combined this takes up 50% of my time), I enjoy to have a good old fantasy about the orchard I will have when I retire to florida. To indulge myself, and in case any of you have any interest, here is the list of tres I will be growing.
(will have a greenhouse for the mangosteen and pulsan)
Harry please let me know how many acres I will need to plant these trees in good space with enough room to double my collection.
lychee mauritius x3
banana cavendish
canistel bruce
mango (ten varieties)
orange navel 3 varieties to extend season
fig 5 varities
mangosteen x5
date medjool
jaboticaba 5 varities
watermelon and various other melons patch
apple, peach, nectarine and cherry- carites tat can be grown in s florida (if they exist)
so far, I have not been particulalrly impressed with cherimoya- too seedy and not that great flavor but would be willing to try a handful of the best custard apple varieties.
what am i forgetting?

|zands I have 5 indo chinese varieties. I read an article about Thailand mangos that stated nam doc mai, tong dam and okrung are the three most popular Thai mangos because they have consecutive seasons. chouanon was said to be an "off" bearer here so I planted one out too, and po pyu kalay i bought immediately after eating one at a nursery and never really questioned that judgment, those are the first five lined up in the front yard
my 4 florida cultivars are around the patio and shed, Rosigold is the first bloomer, Carrie my favorite, Cushman probably my second favorite and Dot, which i read and heard enough about from Harry and Frank Smathers to add.
my two dwarf Carribean cultivars, Julie and Ice cream, Julie is excellent and Ice cream is different.
and my three Indian varieties are along the back of my property, Alphonso and Alampur Baneshan Ive never tried but they are both completely different Indian varieties and Mallika which I enjoy very much.
only the dwarfs are planted in the interior of my yard, mallika, julie, ice cream and rosigold, all the rest are around the property line. Ive been kinda OCD with keeping my fruit trees categorized by location in my yard, lol

I will ask if the "cheena chempendakXjackfruit" is the same as the 51 pounder we found in PR at Brian's. Is it?
LL, your list is great, but reflects a serious lychee bias. "Mango (ten varieties)." You can do better than that! ;-)
|Thanks MangoK for the list and planting strategy for your mangoes. But If you have a mango hedge...Aren't the branches going to reach over into your neighbor's yard?

|nice idea on the barge but def not for me.
SB of course my list reflects lychee bias!
And yeh, you are right, ten mango varities is pretty poor for,. I hereby revise that to 15.
|Sounds pretty sweet. You should forget about waiting for retirement and get a job down here. I think there are still a couple jobs left in FL.
My only comments on your list would be to dump pretty much all of the citrus. You can get pretty much all of those varieties at farmers markets down here for very little money. Citrus is just not worth the space IMO. I used to have a bunch but all I keep now is a pomello, a few Page, and and a few ponkan. Everything else I just buy. I am also not sure if you can get the Kishu mandarin trees here. I looked for a while, but I don't know if they were ever imported to FL.
Also, you'll need a GH for a few of the other things. For me at least, Mangosteen has been a money pit with no hope of success. I have not totally given up on pulasan but I have not been able to ever get a healthy tree in to start with.

|Let's see...how many more years until you expect to retire, Gerry? If you are willing to wait long enough,by then I may have gone to that great fruit orchard in the sky and my wife would be thrilled to sell you my property. My collection will need some fine tuning to meet your specific wishes, but most eveything is already here and going.
|Mango kush and I agree on a lot but muscadine grapes we definitely disagree with (unless that was a joke about their taste). They are divine!

first thing i would do is get rid of those dragon fruit- tastless fruit if i ever tried one( not yours sepcifcally which i have never tasted but the fruit in general). your star fruit would probably follow pretty soon after!

|I enjoy the cherimoyas that make it up to Raleigh supermarkets but they taste nothing like what I ate while visiting friends in Colombia, South America. There they were like a ripe mango drizzled with caramel sauce - totally worth the effort.
I'm operating under the assumption that some fruits will just taste better if I grow them myself - so I have a lot of your list growing as bushes in pots and someday will build a large greenhouse to grow them into trees in.
Keep in mind that new varieties and hybrids get developed every day so you need some space for the new and improved!

|I wonder if a Mangosteen would do ok in Key West?? How about over in the Bahamas, say in Nassau? Doesn't seem to be a lot of tropical fruit grown in the Bahamas...must be due to how dry it is? I know when i was in Great Stirrup Key (Berry Islands) on a cruise, when i walked around the island it was mostly scrub...also didn't seem to be much in the way of soil.
- Posted by mango_kush 10b Hollywood FL (email@example.com) on Mon, Jan 24, 11 at 15:02
|Bahamas would probably present similar problems for mangosteen as parts of Florida where Whitman grew his.
Key West is right on the tropic of cancer, where the tropics officially begin, growing one there would definitely be easier, but not effortless. the sandy soil would still need to be extracted and replaced

|How about the Yucatan down in Mexico? I've been to Cancun and around that area? I know they get "cold" in the winter, but usually no worse then mid 40F's (at least in Cancun)... Cozumel is always warmer (surrounded by 80F+ water)... Although if i remember, its really scrubby down there too...
Do they grow Mangosteen in Cuba??
|the yellow df are divine. (don't eat too may though!) the others are thirst quenching dreams. all have their place in my digestive system
As for muscadine skins, they allow for a burst of jelly with each grape. lovely.

|frank, Im pretty sure they could grow them there if they dont, they grow in Puerto Rico. they dont like the sandy soil, salt spray or salt in the soil. Puerto Rico has some higher elevation regions that dont suffer from this.
|Hello ,
Read that someone might have yellow Jaboticaba seed and wonder If you would consider parting with a few seeds
|Mango kush,
Interesting collection of tropical fruit trees of your yard. It's amazing how many trees you can pack into there. I have a double lot here and I'm also packing in as many as I can get my hands on. Some of them have really outgrown the space I've allotted them. I had to remove my banana Saba a few years back because it was getting so huge and getting rid of the dead plant was a heavy chore. My praying hands have spread out a lot since planting them many years back. Some of my bananas in fact have migrated to my neighbors' yards. They gladly accept the new migrants and we'll see how they multiply over the other side of their fences.
Anyway, it would be nice to know how your fruit trees are doing. I see this thread was 2 years old, so maybe your trees have grown a lot since and have started to bear some fruit for you. Do you have any more pictures to update?

|Co-president, Freedom From Religion Foundation, author
Annie Laurie Gaylor (born November 2, 1955) is co-founder of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and, with her husband Dan Barker, is the current co-president.[1] She is also editor of the organization's newspaper, Freethought Today, which is published ten times per year. She is a self-described feminist and liberal. She is the author of several books, including Woe to the Women: The Bible Tells Me So and Betrayal of Trust: Clergy Abuse of Children, and is the editor of Women Without Superstition: No Gods--No Masters. She is a 1980 graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Journalism.
In 2010 Gaylor received the Humanitarian Heroine award from the American Humanist Association.[2] Gaylor has been an invited speaker at conferences including the 2012 Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne, Australia,[3] and the regional conference of the Minnesota Atheists.[4] She is on the speakers bureau of the Secular Student Alliance.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Gaylor met Barker when both were guests on AM Chicago, hosted by Oprah Winfrey, in 1984. They began dating six months later and married in 1987. They have a daughter, Sabrina Delata.[6]
Gaylor is on the Board of Directors of the Women's Medical Fund, Inc.,[7] a group that helps women pay for abortion services.[8]
In 1977, Gaylor along with her mother and other feminist groups, led the protest that led to the recall of Judge Archie Simonson after he had made a statement blaming a young girl for her rape.[9] She has been involved in other protests including: protesting abortion restrictions in South Dakota,[10] protesting judicial misconduct in Wisconsin,[11] and speaking out against gun violence.[12]
Freedom From Religion Foundation[edit]
Gaylor and her mother, Anne Nicol Gaylor, and the late John Sontarck, founded the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) in a meeting around the Gaylors' dining room table in 1978.[6] Gaylor has worked to make the FFRF the largest organization of atheists and agnostics in the United States."[13]
Media Appearances[edit]
Gaylor has appeared in numerous print, radio and television media discussing the work of the FFRF, such as an advertising campaign being censored in Las Vegas[14] and the case against the National Day of Prayer.[15]
Gaylor contributes writings to print media across the United States on women's issues: how politics affects women's access to reproductive health care in the state of Wisconsin,[16] the arrest of a Tunisian woman for posting a nude photo of herself,[17] the 50-year anniversary of the publication of The Feminine Mystique,[18] and the state of women's rights around the world since the Seneca Convention.[19][20]
Gaylor, along with her husband Dan Barker, host a weekly one-hour radio program Freethought Radio. It is broadcast weekly, on Progressive Talk The Mic 92.1, out of Madison, Wisconsin. It is carried on several other stations throughout the Midwest and is available through podcast.[21]

Many community banks have faced their toughest challenges recently. Loan defaults have escalated and forced the failure of many institutions. Even those that survived may have curtailed lending out of necessity while dealing with these serious issues. Now, just when it seems like the worst is over, comes a new set of challenges that are different but just as difficult as what bankers just went through.
The most serious threat comes from the big banks bailed out by the Troubled Asset Relief Program Citigroup, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo, to name a few that are now more dominant than ever. These mega-banks are putting extreme pressure on community banks to compete for loans, which further reduces margins. If that is not bad enough, the financial regulatory reforms passed this year will require even small banks to implement and monitor some 274 new regulations, a daunting task that certainly will increase costs.
As the economy emerges from the recession, its time for community banks to be more aggressive about growth and competition. In todays banking climate if youre not moving forward, then youre going backward. And you probably wont make it far into the next decade.
If you havent already started to reassess the way you do business, do it now. Take a hard, unvarnished look at your banks strengths and weakness. Of course, you should look at your banks loan volume, deposits and overall balance sheet. But you also should consider your competition, your client base and your position in the marketplace. No two banks are exactly the same, so theres not a silver bullet. But having guided First Foundation Bank through this grueling process over the past three years, there are some helpful approaches I can share.
Find Out What Your Clients Really Think
Dont assume that you know what is really important to your banking clients. How your bank is perceived by the people it serves can be eye-opening. Two years ago, we sent a detailed survey to our client base, asking them to give us feedback on our products and services. Not only did we ask if they were satisfied with what the company offered, we also wanted to know which products or services they valued more than others and whether there was anything they would like that we werent providing. One of the more surprising findings was that we needed a more consistent brand message, a clear statement of our values and a concise definition of who we are and what we do.
Listen to Your Employees
Every employee from the C-level suites to the reception desk probably has ideas about how you could do things better, faster or more efficiently. Not everyone, however, is comfortable voicing their opinions. We found the best approach to be an online survey that allowed employees to answer questions thoughtfully and anonymously without any fear of repercussion. This helped management focus on issues related to our processes, our procedures and our work environment. For example, one message was that employees wanted to know more about what the other business units of the company were doing, so we instituted a periodic employee orientation, a newsletter and an online company calendar.
Differentiate Yourself From the Competition
Based on real feedback from clients and employees, explore what sets your firm apart from the community bank down the street and how you can build on that difference. Is your bank in a convenient location? Does your staff excel at customer service or long-term relationships? Is it truly a local institution that has been around for decades or even generations? How involved are you in the local community? Big banks may offer lower interest rates or more services, but some clients may prefer to support local businesses over national banking chains. Whatever it is that distinguishes your bank as long as its authentic and the promise is met should be promoted in every way possible, whether its in your tagline, on your website or in your advertising.
Expand Your Services in Meaningful Ways
If you cant come up with a compelling reason that clients should choose your bank over the rest, then you need to create one. There may be new products you can offer that will entice new clients or retain your current ones. If you dont already provide mortgage or trust services, consider expanding into those areas or affiliating with a reputable company so that you dont lose clients to larger institutions. Introduce new services such as online tax preparation or liquid CDs. Some banks now offer more comprehensive financial services such as investment management and wealth planning. Whatever you do, remember it is not good enough to simply create new services, but to actually execute on delivering those services.
Stay In Close Touch With Clients
There is a lot of money chasing after good quality borrowers these days. If you want to stay top of mind with your most-valued clients when they need a loan, it pays to keep in touch. Our firm makes it a priority to schedule educational conference calls, economic forecast luncheons and investment seminars with current and prospective clients. In addition to holiday cards and gifts, we communicate year-round via a quarterly electronic newsletter, market commentaries, economic updates and our signature Bank Notes. You can even explore the use of social media if you are comfortable with the protocol and it fits your clientele. Relationships are more important than ever in hard times.
If you want to position yourself to not only survive, but thrive in the next several years, you must commit the time and resources to rethink your business approach and create a viable solution that works for your bank. If you dont prepare now, youre going to lose ground at best. If you do, youll come out better on the other end and be well positioned for the recovery.

We've got out hands on the full memo from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to the company's employees.
The full text is below, but I want to highlight some of the tough measure Microsoft is putting in place in order to reduce expenses:
To increase efficiency, we're taking a series of aggressive steps. We'll cut travel expenditures 20 percent and make significant reductions in spending on vendors and contingent staff. We've scaled back Puget Sound campus expansion and reduced marketing budgets. We'll also reduce costs by eliminating merit increases for FY10 that would have taken effect in September of this calendar year.
I'm sure folks are glad to still have a job, but it looks like salaries will be frozen for the time being.

The maintenance office was on the corridor of our room and this door was consistently left open - with equipment, etc. It was unsightly so would have been less obvious had the door been closed. Perhaps it was an AC issue but I found it a distraction every time I passed it.

There are quite a few places that you can meet as a group if you are going with a group. They were very accommodating to our needs. They cleaned our room and refreshed it everyday. The only thing was it seemed muggy when we returned during the day and the room was humid so it smelled a bit when we first got back into the room.

As 2012 comes to a close, we'd like to look back on the wildest outdoor-related news stories of the year. From tiny frogs to Felix Baumgartner, here were some of our favorite headlines of the year.
Crazy Critters
Apparently, 2012 was the year of biological anomalies. According to National Geographic, the year's discoveries included the world's smallest frog (7.7 millimeters wide) in Papua New Guinea, a white orca believed to be the only one of its kind off the coast of Russia and a 3-inch Californian centipede that scientists have labeled the 'leggiest' animal on Earth. Other oddities included a rare maned lioness spotted in Botswana's Okavango Delta, and a fish with genatalia attached to its head that was discovered in the Mekong River. But arguably the creepiest finding was recorded last October on Florida's Pompano Beach — a solitary eyeball the size of a grapefruit. While the Internet buzzed with rumors of a sea monster roaming the mid-Atlantic, a report issued by the Fish and Wildlife Commission revealed the eyeball's probable owner: a swordfish.
Fact: Sasquatch Loves Apples
Sasquatch encounters are hardly news-worthy, but Frank Siecienski of Hubbardton, Vt., wowed the public last month when he released photographic 'proof' of a bigfoot roaming the woods near his home. The amateur gumshoe set out one evening to find out who (or what) was devouring all the apples from trees on his property. The photographic evidence revealed a large, hairy creature, crouching in such a way that its face was not visible (hmmmm…). Don't believe Siecienski's story? Judge for yourself:
Rolling Rocks
69-year-old Ja'Nielle Gendelman of Poway, Calif., earns this year's 'Cosmically Lucky' award. For if she had been anywhere near her garage (and not watching television in her living room), Ms. Gendelman might have been seriously hurt (or worse) by the 12-ton boulder that rolled down a nearby hillside, traveled hundreds of feet and eventually crashed into her garage. She heard the loud crash and opened the door that led to her patio, only to find that her patio (and much of her fenceline) was no longer there. Bob Jaczko and Peter Wilson are the runners-up for the award; they were driving through Sedona, Ari., when a 150-pound boulder fragment sailed through the window of their rental car. Both men were treated for minor cuts.
When Waterfowl Attack
Ingrid Cardozo of Sarasota, Fla., was minding her business and watching ibises when the 78-year-old woman was attacked by a deranged wild animal — not a gator, but a large muscovy duck. The bird raked both of Cardozo's legs and drew a substantial amount of blood. "I wasn't bothering him," she told Tampa Bay Times. "I wasn't feeding him, I wasn't doing anything to him." She was treated by paramedics, and said the attack left her unable to walk for two days. The muscovy could not be reached for comment.
Sky Fall
In October, a certifiably insane Austrian gentleman named Felix Baumgartner broke a Guinness World Record when he recorded a 24-mile freefall from space. During his plunge, which lasted 4 minutes and 20 seconds, Herr Baumgartner reached a top speed of 833 miles per hour and broke the speed of sound ('destroyed' might be a more accurate term). But he didn't lose consciousness at any point during the freefall, and even managed to land on his feet in the middle of the New Mexico desert. Prior to the stunt, many experts warned of the high likelihood that Baumgartner would perish, so the mere fact that he landed in one piece was considered an achievement in itself. In addition to the world record, Baumgartner's jump had a practical purpose: research for scientists to design better, more durable spacesuits for astronauts.
Snoopy Sloop's Incredible Journey
Last month, a sailing vessel christened Snoopy Sloop began a trans-Atlantic voyage that owner Robin Lovelock believes will earn him a place in the record books. The reason: Snoopy Sloop is a robotically powered toy boat that only measures four feet in length. If the watercraft completes its 6,000-mile trek, then it will become the first unmanned vessel to cross the Atlantic. Lovelock, a former scientist for NATO, spent four years designing the vessel and logged more than 5,000 miles before setting it adrift in the English Channel. If everything goes according to plan, Snoopy Sloop will complete its journey by way of the Azores and the Bahamas before (fittingly) landing at Plymouth Rock.
Two Close Calls
Erin Longworthy must have a guardian angel. How else can we explain the Australian woman's survival after her bungee cord snapped during what should have been a routine jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge that separates Zambia and Zimbabwe? Following a 364-foot plunge into the Zambezi River, Longworthy's troubles only began as she swam to safety through the crocodile- and hippo-infested water. Not only did she cheat death, but Longworthy only suffered cuts and bruises. Check out the terrifying video below:
In October, Norwegian Richard Henrikson experienced a very close call of his own in the mountains of Norway. The gymnast basejumper (yup, you read that correctly) was practicing maneuvers on a high bar that sat precariously close to a cliffside when the contraption broke and Henrikson was thrown into the air. Though he plunged nearly 4,000 feet, he was able to avoid hitting the rocks and safely deployed his parachute. And — you guessed it — there's video footage of this incident, as well:
Stupid Teenagers…
In August, employees and guests of the Harrah's casino and resort in Reno were surprised (to say the least) when a young, 100-pound mountain lion cub arrived on the premises and hung out for awhile (despite the establishment's strict age restriction policy). When the cub was unable to enter through the revolving door, he crawled under an outdoor stage and presumably worked out a plan B. Chris Healy of the Nevada Department of Wildlife explained that the animal's behavior was akin to that of a "stupid teenager"; when mountain lion cubs reach a certain age, their parents chase them away from the lair, leaving them to fend for themselves. However, most wait at least a few years before resorting to a life of gambling.
The Elusive Goat Man
We'll leave you with a bizarre story that began as a real head-scratcher. In June, wildlife biologists were tracking a herd of goats in the Utah mountains when they spotted a strange site: a grown man, dressed head-to-toe in an elaborate goat costume, climbing the rocks alongside the other, real members of the herd. When their footage surfaced on the web, the perpetrator — a hunter from California — contacted the scientists and revealed the explanation: he was merely testing his new goat suit (which was comprised of a hooded painter's uniform attached to a fleece) in anticipation of the upcoming hunting season.
Did you experience any bizarre encounters or attempt to record an outlandish outdoor stunt this year? Tell us about it… or better yet, send us the footage!

Ca Mau Province is the most southerly end of Vietnam, with 307 kilometres of coastline. It is bordered by the Gulf of Thailand and the East Sea. The region is over 300 kilometres from Ho Chi Minh City, so it takes around six hours to get there, either by car or train. Seven rivers run through Ca Mau Province, so much of the land is taken over by agriculture. ... More>The coastline can be very attractive, with the favourite being Khai Long Beach, a great spot to chill that is now an eco tourist site. Other attractions include the Cao Dai temple and the national park, where you can enjoy bird watching. The main city of Ca Mau is well-known for shrimp, so is a great place to enjoy seafood. The town also has its own airport. There are some great hotels in Cau Mau province, so you won't have trouble finding somewhere to stay if you want to enjoy this naturally beautiful region of Vietnam.

The combination of sea salt and lysozyme creates the optimal solution to reduce the healing time and help eliminate adverse issues that commonly arise when dealing with a new piercing. Research has concluded that shorter healing times occur when naturally optimal healing environments are promoted rather than trying to heal with chemicals (soap, bactine, etc.) that destroy beneficial bacteria.

There are 4 main types of drug tests that can detect the presence of THC in your system: Urine, Blood, Saliva and Hair tests.
Urine Drug Tests:
Urine tests are the most common means of drug detection available in the United States, especially in workplace drug testing programs. They are also the least expensive and can be performed in-home without supervision. Compared to blood tests, urine tests are non-invasive, although they are more invasive than both saliva and hair tests. One important thing to note about urine tests specifically for THC is the inability to detect current impairment. A urine test that shows a positive result for the presence of THC does not prove the subject is impaired at the time of testing. It simply means they used marijuana in the recent past. Urine tests for THC can also not specify frequency of use or dosage amounts either. This is especially important in the testing for marijuana DUI cases.
Blood Drug Tests:
Blood testing is the least commonly used drug testing method because of its high level of invasiveness, as well as the requirement of medically trained personnel. They are also the most expensive drug tests on the market. However, blood tests are the most accurate and have the most recent window of detection, usually with a few hours of use.
Saliva Drug Tests:
Saliva tests are relatively common because they are inexpensive and easy to use. They can be performed at home without supervision and are generally seen as non-invasive. Saliva tests can usually detect the presence of THC anywhere form a few hours after use up to one week.
Hair Drug Tests:
Hair tests are by far the least invasive testing method on the market, but they are also significantly more expensive than urine and saliva tests. Hair tests usually require a 1.5 inch sample of hair and can detect use for the past 90 days. However, due to the growth rate if hair, the test cannot account for the past week of use.

'I Saw Blood All Over Me': Gangs of Israeli Vigilantes Roam Streets Attacking Palestinians
"Gas the Arabs" graffiti painted in Hebron.

Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Kafr Qassem, ISRAEL – Mousa Abu Ayadeh says that he expects anti-Arab discrimination in Israel. But he never imagined he would be the victim of a violent vigilante attack, as he was on June 30.
Abu Ayadeh told AlterNet he "was beaten and stabbed by ten Israeli men." He suspects the crime was in retaliation for the killing of three Israeli youth who had been kidnapped on June 12 and were found dead just a few hours before he was attacked.
Around 1.7 million Palestinian citizens make up a minority in Israel and reside in cities, towns and villages across the country. Abu Ayadeh lives in Kafr Qassem, a town in Israel that hugs the West Bank border and is situated close to a number of Israeli settlements.
On June 30, the bodies of Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrah, both 16 years old, and Gilad Shaer, 19, were discovered in a Palestinian village in the southern occupied West Bank after being reportedly shot by Palestinian militants. Since then, there have been numerous attacks by Israeli settlers and civilians against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel.
Abu Ayadeh ate a traditional dinner with his family around 8pm on Monday night to break the daily daytime fast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. After eating and sitting with his parents, he decided to go for a bike ride.
"Like I always do, I passed through a roundabout past the main entrance of Kafr Qassem and near the settlement of Oranit," Abu Ayadeh recalled. "Two cars full of men stopped and told me they were police and needed to speak to me."
Ten men dressed in civilian clothing exited the cars and began to curse at and threaten him. "They said racist slurs about Arabs and cursed my mother and sisters," Abu Ayadeh said. "Then they attacked me, kicking me and stabbing me. Once they left I saw blood all over me."
Abu Ayadeh was taken by an ambulance for medical treatment at a local hospital, where he was hospitalized overnight, treated for bruising on his face and ribs and received 16 stitches for four stab wounds on the lower part of his body. Due to the injuries, doctors told Abu Ayadeh to stay home from work for a month.
After getting out of the hospital the following day, Abu Ayadeh went to the nearby town of Petah Tikvah to file a police report. Yet rather than being assisted, he accuses Israeli police and intelligence officers of interrogating him.
"The [police interrogators] accused me of having done something wrong first," he said. "They said that I maybe owed someone money or that I had attacked someone in the past. I've never had problems with anyone in my whole life."
Abu Ayadeh also says that Israeli intelligence officers repeatedly "asked if I carry weapons. I told the police and the intelligence [officers] to go check the traffic cameras in the roundabout where I was attacked… but they told me it didn't seem to be anything other than personal problems and sent me home."
When asked for a comment, Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld said, "there is no indication any incidents in the area involved Jewish settlers."
Jerusalem On Fire
That same night, shortly after the three Israeli youths' bodies were discovered, settlers reportedly attempted to kidnap nine-year-old Mousa Zaloom from the Shuafat neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem. When his mother tried to intervene to prevent one of the settlers from choking him, they began to beat her until onlookers arrived and caused them to flee.

Angels catcher Jeff Mathis is available to play today after being hit in the left hand by a pitch during Saturday's game. X-rays taken after the game were negative, though Mathis' hand is still sore.
And yet -- Bobby Wilson gets consecutive starts for the second time in the past week (his first of the season). Mathis has handled Dan Haren's past four starts but he and Wilson split the six games on this road trip and Wilson has now started five of the past eight.
It's probably just about Mathis' sore left hand today -- probably -- but there is a decided shift to catcher equality with Mathis catching Jered Weaver and Haren (usually) and Wilson catching Ervin Santana and Tyler Chatwood.
Meanwhile, Hank Conger is batting .311 and slugging .522 with five home runs and 22 RBI in 24 games at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.

George the Bulldog and Winston the Tortoise Eat Cheerios in Harmony
This is just too sweet. If there's anything on the internet that can warm a cold heart, it's when animals of different species decide to take a break from eating one another alive to form a friendship.
We've seen it before -- a cat and a bird, a mouse and a parakeet, some monkeys and a big freaky goat -- and now the tradition lives on with George the bulldog and Winston the tortoise as they take a moment to enjoy a handful of Cheerios side by side. It's a beautiful friendship, isn't that right, cartoon bluebirds? (Cartoon bluebirds chirp cheerfully in agreement and use their beaks to tie a lovely satin ribbon around something in my house for no reason.)
