Meet Your Hosts
"Welcome to our island, a great place to stay and play!"For more than 17 years, Tom and Stacie Brooks have been enjoying a wonderful ride with Kampgrounds of America and all that the organization has to offer.
These high school sweethearts from north Georgia began their careers in the outdoor hospitality industry entertaining vacationers on cruise ships. They tried "real life" (computer jobs, etc.) briefly, but knew they wanted to continue working together in the business of fun. "We saw an ad in the Orlando paper about manager trainee opportunities at KOA, and the rest is history!" says Stacie.
Tom and Stacie have been on the move managing KOA Kampgrounds from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from New England to the Florida Keys, with a few stops in between. The Brooks' currently manage South Padre Island KOA, and they excel as campground hosts. "We remember that first and foremost the camper is here to have fun," says Tom. "We do whatever we can to ease their worries and provide relaxation and enjoyment."
Campers notice the efforts of Tom, Stacie and their staff. A recent comment card read, "We wanted to let you know what a fine job this park and the staff do for us. We are here for our third winter because of the cleanliness of the facilities, the many kindnesses of the staff, and the great activities."
When not putting their time and energy into the campground, Tom and Stacie love to travel and have visited more than 50 countries. Tom also likes to play the guitar and harmonica, while Stacie is a ventriloquist, enjoys Zumba, and is a TIVO Master.

New Intern Cast on Grey's Anatomyby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Production on Season 8 of Grey's Anatomy begins tomorrow, and new developments are taking shape left and right. The latest casting news? That the medical drama will be bringing on a new intern, and not one of those know-it-all, can-do types.
According to TV Line, the rookie (a male) seems over his head immediately.
Meanwhile, Alex will be in a heap of new trouble when Grey's Anatomy returns in the fall. Not just with Meredith, either. Alex Karev is very much persona non grata after snitching on Meredith for her unethical decision to mess with the Alzheimer's trial.
Who else do you think might be ostracizing Dr. Karev a little - or a lot?
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Grey's Anatomy, Casting News, Spoilers
I thought it was fun too atohlugh you really did have to suspend your disbelief. I think this episode might have fit better if it happened earlier in the show as we know too much about these characters back stories and you really had to put aside stuff you know, like Owen, he definitely wouldn't have been around long enough to have 3 kids. And Callie, she was all Ms. Yesterday's Mascara back in the day, when did she get to be Emily Post? And Alex, how did he go from being a foster kid to being Mr. Happy on the outside? And man am I ever glad that Ellis Grey is dead too, Meredith is way healthier dark and twisty than when she is April 2.0. Still all that aside, it was a cute episode, one thing that rang true, Derek would have been McDreary without Meredith. Grey's does take a lot of risks doing these kind of stand alone eps and this was WAY better than that musical episode and it was fun, even if it didn't move the plot along at all.
I am mad at Alex! but definitly Meredith, Christina, Owen seemed pretty mad at Alex in the finale..so definitly him..Maybe Derek(but i think that's only if he forgives Meredith first) Lexie will probably be mad at him, since now she likes her sister, and given Lexies and Alexs past i would assume thats not the only reason why lexie would be mad.. proably the cheif casue he sees Mer as a daughter and would do anything to protect her. But thats just my guess..
Totally agree with everything you say smiley, was gonna write that too but kept it short and sweet.
Also hope that the dreamhouse is finished finally and they move in, but think maybe lexi stays at Mer's house.
I'm wondering if Derek may hold a grudge against Alex. Mark has never liked Alex. Cristina may since she is Meredith's BFF and soul mate.
I hope that this season we get to see MerDer living in the dream house and that Mer sells her house.
Everyone is definately gonna be pissed at Karev especially Mer and Cristina.
Maybe the only one talking to him will be Arizona.
Just please don't make him be an orginal. We have no more room. It's overly crowded (and annoying because of that) already. My only hop eis PD AND EP stay past s.8
First of all I have to say that I am SOOOOOOO excited for GA to come back!!! I think that everyone is going to be mad at Karev in the first few epsodes, espetially the attendings. But he will end up doing something that wins everyone back!!! :D

Leaders of two suburban groups who have pushed to split Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools into smaller districts urged voters on Monday to reject the $290 million bond package on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Tom Davis, speaking for a north suburban education group, and Tim Timmerman, speaking for a south suburban taxpayer group, issued a statement opposing the bonds for a number of reasons. They cited distrust of the promise not to raise taxes and skepticism about whether CMS' planning accounts for the prospect of increasing charter enrollment and upcoming vouchers for private schools.
"Because the community feels ignored and does not trust CMS, there is a current and rapid exodus to charter schools and home schools," the statement says.
Bonds are a form of borrowing in which voters pledge tax revenue to repay the debt. Mecklenburg County officials say they can repay the CMS bonds – which will go toward building new schools and renovating and expanding existing ones, from the revenue already coming in – without raising property taxes. But Davis and Timmerman say it's impossible to be sure that future county commissioners won't raise taxes.
The statement comes from the northern Strategic Partners for Accountability and Reform of Key Educational Performances and the South Mecklenburg Alliance of Responsible Taxpayers. It is not clear how many people these two groups represent.
"We've got hundreds of people out there who support us," said Davis, an Air Force retiree and Republican political activist from Huntersville. He said he and Timmerman weren't the only people who crafted the position statement, but he declined to give numbers or names, saying many fear running afoul of the Charlotte Chamber, a major backer of the " Vote Yes for Education Bonds" campaign.
Davis said the groups don't plan to take a stand on the $210 million in bonds for Central Piedmont Community College on the Nov. 5 ballot.
The "vote yes" campaign, which supports the CMS and CPCC bonds, hopes to raise $300,000 in donations and has hired a PR firm to help make the case. Davis said the SPARK/SMART effort won't be anything like that.
"We're not going to get money into it," he said. "We're going to get the information on the street and let people make decisions."
This is the first school bond vote since 2007, when voters approved $516 million for CMS and $30 million for CPCC. In 2005, voters approved $46.5 million for CPCC but rejected $427 million for CMS.

"Christmas" and such around the world and all those recipes....
In Canada, we are nearing Christmas, and as I am putting our children to bed, I have been reading some stories that have some information about Christmas in other countries.
Jackie and I have been talking about Christmas cooking in Bolivia, and Jackie has shared some of her country's traditional recipes for this time of year (which we are looking forward to making :)
I would love to hear about other traditions involving food (WITH recipes OF COURSE!!) I realize not all celebrate "Christmas" necessarily, so send some Hannakuh recipes, anything!!!
I have to find some of my recipes, including some of our English & Italian family's recipes and will post again! Oh, and I have already sent the perogie recipe...when my Ukranian grandmother was alive that was Christmas dinner- perogies and cabbage rolls with trimmings- no turkey in sight!

I never even thought about on demand. I just checked and I do have it available here (Time Warner Cable). The good thing is that it is only 44 minutes long. I agree about the delay in ff'ing though. DH and I will have to watch it tonight. He HATES spoilers so even though I know so much about this week he won't let me tell him any of it. Haha.

LOL! I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a bit of a temper tantrum last night. Tivo got the last part of golf and then 60 Minutes. It was 10:00 before I was able to try to watch BB when I saw what had happened. I'm going to catch it On Demand later this afternoon. I've been reading the spoilers on bbdish so I know what's been going on in the house, but I still like to see what they decide to air.

Jennifer Aniston Destroys Jimmy Kimmel's Set (VIDEO)
The actress came armed with a sledgehammer!
Jennifer Aniston certainly knows how to make an entrance.
Donning protective gear along with a peplum black dress, the Wanderlust actress took a sledgehammer to Jimmy Kimmel's desk as she helped debut Jimmy Kimmel Live in its new timeslot on Tuesday night.
"Why would you do this to my new desk?" Kimmel asked with a laugh. "What's wrong with you?"
"That's out with the old, in with the new, we're going to 11:30!" Aniston replied with an exuberant fist-pump.
After the good friends cleared the confusion over Kimmel's newly destroyed desk, they happily recapped their much-talked about holiday vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
"I've known your fiancé, Justin, for awhile," Kimmel said of Aniston's fiance, Justin Theroux. "Now, if I was you, I would eliminate all his friends right off the bat. I would not allow his friends to go on vacation with me. But you were very gracious."
The former Friends star returned the compliment by praising the comedian and "amazing cook" for whipping up an Italian feast on New Year's Day, which included pals Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.
"All of you boys were secure enough in your masculinity to join the women on spa day. So the girls had massages, whilst the men were having manicures and pedicures," Aniston added as she shared pics of the guys getting spa treatments.
As they reminisced, Aniston offered to give the talk show host a haircut, despite not having"done one in 30 years." Aniston went on to reveal as a child, she would often cut her father's hair.
"Why would your dad let you cut his hair as kid?" Kimmel pondered.
"Because he loved me and thought it was sweet that I was trying to start a career that early," she said. "So he wanted to support me."
"And yet you never wound up with that dream job at Supercuts," Kimmel joked back.

The Passive Voice linked the other day to yet another Amazon-punisher: Jack Shafer, posting at Reuters, writes about the many ways Amazon has enmeshed their hooks into his life—Prime membership, Kindle ownership, magazine subscriptions and so on, all of which he used and enjoyed quite happily. And then! Amazon is Evil Overlording Hachette! You can't get Malcolm Gladwell anymore! He's quitting Amazon forever!
There is no emoticon big enough to properly convey my eye roll here. I have read dozens of articles on this Hachette and Amazon feud, including several by my fellow Teleread contributors. And I don't get it. Articles like Shafer's rant are presupposing a lot of things which I don't feel we can accept as given and true:
Full blog post at Teleread
Publishing consultant Mike Shatzkin discusses the public battle over trading terms taking place between Hachette Book Group and Amazon.
Amazon has begun discouraging customers from buying books by Malcolm Gladwell, Stephen Colbert, J. D. Salinger and other popular writers, a flexing of its muscle as a battle with a publisher spills into the open.
The Internet retailer, which controls more than a third of the book trade in the United States, is marking many books published by Hachette Book Group as not available for at least two or three weeks.
Anne Rice has tackled vampires, werewolves and witches in her fiction, but now the bestselling novelist is taking on a real-life enemy: the anonymous "anti-author gangsters" who attack and threaten writers online.
The Interview with the Vampire author is a signatory to a new petition, which is rapidly gathering steam, calling on Amazon to remove anonymity from its reviewers in order to prevent the "bullying and harassment" it says is rife on the site. "They've worked their way into the Amazon system as parasites, posting largely under pseudonyms, lecturing, bullying, seeking to discipline authors whom they see as their special prey," Rice told the Guardian. "They're all about power. They clearly organise, use multiple identities and brag about their ability to down vote an author's works if the author doesn't 'behave' as they dictate."
After forever changing book-selling, Amazon is now embarked on a wide-ranging venture that seeks to alter the book-publishing end of the business. Company officials see it as an experiment where they can tinker with new ways to connect authors and readers.
Originally posted by Birdie -- technical problems were causing embed not to work. She had the following comment with original post -- Hilarious response by Waterstones to Amazon's "Prime Air" concept of drone book delivery. Got to love the closing line.
Amazon has introduced Kindle First, a program where customers can access Kindle books a month before their release date.
Story at Teleread
Amazon launched Kindle MatchBook, a service that lets customers buy steeply discounted ebook versions of books they've already bought in print (from Amazon, of course) on Tuesday. Publishers must opt-in, and as of Wednesday morning, some 75,000 ebooks were available for $2.99 or less.

Apple's People Problem
Apple is great a making products for people. They are terrible at making products with people.
People are messy. They hate things, they want to manipulate things. When and where people want to communicate they will alter the environment as they see fit, never mind the whims of the provider of the infrastructure.
Apple is great at perfection. Making perfectly machined, perfectly designed pieces of technology (both software and hardware), and marketing those technology marvels likewise in a state of immaculate perfection. Beautiful people, beautiful hands, beautiful photography and video. Even beautiful music.
It is all perfect.
Too perfect.
In one of the most famous ads they have produced of late, a sullen teenager is seen constantly rooted on his phone, observing the world only through a screen. In the end, he perfectly framed what he missed through the device with the device,...

Whether you have kids or pets, or neither, it's important to find the right fabrics for your living room. Specifically for your sofa/sectionals, accent chairs, or ottomans -- anything that will be used frequently. There are many types of fabric out there, so we've pulled together a list of these fabrics and what they're best for.
Acetate: Acetate was developed to be similar to silk, however acetate can withstand mildew, pilling, and shrinking. Similar to silk, it doesn't offer a lot of resistance against dirt, wearing, wrinkling, and the sun. So if you have kids, pets, or lots of natural light, avoid this material.
Acrylic: Acrylic is meant to be an imitation to wool that holds up to wear, wrinkles, dirt, and fading. High-quality acrylics are great for kids and pets as they hold up to a good amount of wear.
Bonded-Leather: Bonded leather is great for those that love the look of leather but need something a bit more durable. Bonded leather can be easily wiped down and isn't as prone to scratching and fading as real leather is. We love the lux look of the Carmen Collection.
Cotton: Cotton is a natural fiber that's great for standing up to wear, fading, and pilling. However, it's prone to staining and wrinkling -- just like with cotton clothing. If you like the look of cotton but want something more durable, look for a cotton blend with other fibers that will make it more resistant. For example, damask cotton weaves are best for formal spaces while canvas weaves such as duck and sailcloth are better for casual spaces. We love the light and refreshing look of our Nantucket Stripe Collection.
Leather: A tough and durable material, leather can be vacuumed and wiped down with a damp cloth as needed. Just make sure you use a leather conditioner or saddle soap. Depending on the type of leather, this material can be good for kids. We say depending, because some true leathers scratch easily as part of their character. So if you have furry friends, they can easily scratch the leather with their paws.
Micro-Fiber: One of the best options for kids, pets, and an active family lifestyle, microfiber is soft and tough, and holds up against absorption and water spillage. And it gives off a luxurious look, similar to velvet, like with the Darcy Violet Collection.
Nylon-Blend: Nylon is blended with other fabrics which makes it one of the most durable upholstery fabrics. It's great for kids and pets as it doesn't soil or wrinkle, but keep it out of direct sunlight as it can fade.
Olefin: Olefin is a great choice for kids and pets -- it holds up very well to wear and tear and doesn't really have any cons.
Polyester-Blend: If you're looking for a more durable fabric, look for a polyester-blend. When added to other fabrics, polyester provides resistance against wrinkles, wear, and fading. We love the look of polyester blend in the Pompano Collection.
Wool: Wool and wool blends are sturdy and durable, standing up to pilling, fading, wrinkling, and dirt. In most cases, you'll be looking for an upholstered item that's a wool blend so it's easier to clean. You'll also avoid felting the fibers -- something that's unique to wool. Wool blends can be spot-cleaned easily when needed, but can be more difficult for more intense cleanings.
Vinyl: Vinyl is less expensive than true leather and great for kids and pets in your living room. You can simply wipe them down -- it's very rare that this material will absorb stains.
Silk: If you have an extremely formal and elegant room where kids and pets won't be present, then opt for silk. As you probably know, it's a delicate fabric that needs to be professional cleaned when dirty. But be sure to avoid any food or drink nearby.

A compressed natural gas tank turned into a missile Monday, launching out of a Brown & Brown Chevrolet service bay, soaring more than 500 feet, crashing down through the roof of a nearby body shop and critically injuring a longtime employee.
The 41-year-old Mesa man, whose name was not released, suffered severe head injuries when the 5-gallon tank ricocheted off the body shop's concrete floor and into him, said Mesa Fire Department deputy chief Mary Cameli. He was taken by ambulance to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn hospital, where he was in critical condition Monday evening.
Cameli said another employee had removed the tank and placed it next to a vehicle in the north service bay of the expansive property west of Hibbert between Main Street and First Avenue. The employee had bled the tank, as is standard practice, and believed the tank was empty when he began removing the valve, Cameli said.
"The valve went one way and the tank went another direction," she said. "The tank hit the vehicle, and then shot into the air."
The man was working in the body shop, located southeast of the service bay near First Avenue, when the flying tank came through the roof about 11:30 a.m. Eight or nine other employees were in the building, Cameli said.
"As far as that tank traveled, we are very, very fortunate that more people weren't injured," she said.
Brown & Brown managers declined comment Monday.
Employees working nearby said it sounded like an air bag had exploded.
A 5-gallon compressed natural gas tank weighs roughly 100 pounds, with pressure up to 3,600 pounds per square inch, said Mark Bumm, president of Alt Fuel Systems in Mesa. By comparison, propane tanks are up to 312 pounds per square inch and the pressure in vehicle tires is about 35 pounds per square inch.
Bumm's company removes the compressed natural gas tanks in Mesa police squad cars as a safety precaution before the vehicles are towed to a nearby body shop.
The 50-year-old mechanic who released the valve suffered minor injuries and was treated and released, Cameli said.

Clinical Trial DRUG 1315-0001
- Title
- A Phase I, Open, Cohort Dose Escalation Trial with BI 836858 in Patients with Refractory or Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
- Principal Investigator
- Jessica Altman
- Details
- Status: Accepting New Patients
- Study Type: Therapeutic, Treatment
- Protocol No:.DRUG 1315-0001
- Purpose
- The purpose of this research study is three-fold: to identify the maximum tolerated dose, that is, the highest dose of the study drug that does not cause unacceptable side effects; to obtain information on the safety and effectiveness in people given the study drug alone; and to measure and evaluate the behavior of the study drug in the blood.
- Overview
- Participants in this study have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML is a condition that causes rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that increase in the bone marrow and interfere with production of normal blood cells. People with AML may experience fatigue, shortness of breath, easy bruising and bleeding, and increased risk of infection. Refractory AML is defined as disease that is not responsive to initial anti-leukemia treatment, while relapsed AML is disease that recurs following an initial complete remission. This is a research study to test a new investigational drug. An investigational drug is one that is not approved by the FDA. This study drug has not been previously used in any people.
- Eligibility
Some of the eligibility criteria include:
- Participants must have relapsed or refractory AML with at least one prior treatment for AML.
- Participants must be 18 or older.
- Description of Treatment
- The Study Drug Treatment Phase consists of infusions (IV injected into a vein) with the study drug once per week. Each cycle of study drug treatment is 2 weeks long and will include two infusions (Days 1 and 8 of each cycle), once per week. Study participants will receive these infusions until their disease progresses, they experience unacceptable side effects, or they want to terminate the treatment.

Comment: Re:Opinion from industry insider (Score 4, Interesting) 140
I don't work with Fords, so I can't answer your question specifically. In general, the trend in cars is to have fewer controllers and devices on the bus controlling more and more things. In the VW/Audi world, all of the "body control" stuff is handled by a single module under the dash.
At the same time, many of those modules and the wires between them are accessible easily under the hood. I can reach under a VW, remove a plastic underbody panel and get to the powertrain (most important) canbus without opening the hood. I'd come up greasy, but I could certainly do it from under the car. With a little practice, I could probably do it in under a minute.
In the VW case though, that wouldn't do any good. I couldn't start the car or unlock the doors (door locks aren't on the powertrain can and the gateway won't pass through a door unlock message originating on powertrain). I could monitor their engine/transmission/ABS though and could turn off the car, change the gears or set/adjust the cruise control once the engine was running. I might even be able to trick the ABS into thinking the car is skidding and get it to lock up the brakes (I haven't played with ABS controllers much, so I'm not 100% certain of this one),

Come in and read our morning recap, where all NHL plays are reviewable (because that's what we're doing here – reviewing plays that happened the night before).
Essential Water Cooler
Boston's Zdeno Chara took a high-stick from Calgary's Matt Stajan and got no compensation from the refs because they were watching the puck go over the glass in a different part of the zone. In Toronto, the Maple Leafs felt the zebras missed several calls on the Florida Panthers that could have changed the 3-1 Cats win in Toronto's favor. So the question becomes, is it time for a ref upstairs? An omnipresent eye that can call down to the stripes on ice and let them know of a penalty behind the play? Sure, there may be more power plays to begin with as players adjusted to tighter standards, but the action would be more fair. Do you want a more objective hockey game, or are things fine the way they are?

Colorado had Dan Ellis problems last night as the Dallas backup robbed Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog en route to a 3-2 Stars victory.

"Unique Setting, Complex Characters"
This is another brilliant work by Ghosh. The geographical and historical detail and sensitivity with which he describes the remote ( unless you live there, of course) area of the Sunderbans is remarkable.
Although the narrator enlivens the reading with his convincing characterizations - no small accomplishment given the combination of accents and characters - the pace drags at times.

Denny's: One Solid Comeback
As of the latest quarter-end, total debt stood at $186 million, down from $453 million at the end of 2006. Denny's has also been buying back stock, a good sign, in my view, and has reduced shares outstanding by about 7% since the beginning of 2011. At year-end, the company still owned 88 properties, which presents Denny's with some options.
DENN LT Debt data by
Currently trading at 24 times trailing earnings, not exactly cheap, consensus estimates are calling for 2014 earnings per share of 38 cents, putting the forward PE at about 15.
At nearly 1,700 restaurants, this is no small chain. In fact, it is probably much larger than some investors might believe. It's also one that has been growing, with an estimated 45 to 55 new locations for 2013. Several years ago, when it appeared as though the company might disappear, that was unthinkable.This is one of the more remarkable turnarounds I've seen in recent years, in one of the most competitive industries. There's more work to be done for sure, but so far, so good. Investors have been rewarded with a 300% move since early 2009, and we'll see if Denny's can continue delivering.
