Map & Directions
If you are driving in, Google Maps provides accurate directions to our address: 1660 Annunciation Street, New Orleans, LA 70130, in the trendy Garden District area. There is free and safe street-side parking.
Options for transportation from the airport include a taxi ($33 flat fee) and the New Orleans airport shuttle ($20). If you are taking the New Orleans airport shuttle, be advised that it will not drop you directly at our hostel. Ask the shuttle driver to drop you off at St. Vincent's Guest House, which is very close to us. When you get there, walk down Magazine St. to Felicity St. and turn left. We are on the corner of Annunciation St. and Felicity St.
You can also take the E2 Bus straight into downtown New Orleans if you don't want to go directly to our hostel. From the city center, you can take the St. Charles Streetcar line to Felicity St., and then turn left on Felicity St. We are at the corner of Felicity St. and Annunciation St.
Why would you do that? We provide a free shuttle service from Union Station between 8am-8pm!
To use our free shuttle service (available between 8AM and 8PM daily), e-mail us with your arrival time, and then please call us at 1-504-644-2199 once you arrive at the Greyhound or Amtrak station. Since trains and buses are not always on time, we do not do appointments, but letting us know your arrival time does help us plan so that we can pick you up when you call.
OK, fine! It is 1.4 miles and will take you about 30 minutes.
1. Exit station by the taxi stands and continue straight, keeping the highway on your right.
2. Cross Loyola Ave and continue straight down Howard Avenue
3. After roundabout (Lee Circle), Howard Ave changes names to Andrew Higgins Dr. Continue on Andrew Higgins.
4. Turn right on Magazine Street, after passing Nat'l WWII museum.
5. Continue on Magazine St for 12 blocks (approximately). Take a left on Felicity street.
6. The first stoplight will be Annunciation Street. We are located on the far left corner of Annunciation and Felicity (#1600). Look for the RV!
1. Exit station by taxi stands and walk straight, keeping the highway on your right.
2. Cross Loyola Ave and continue straight down Howard Avenue
3. At roundabout (Lee Circle, with the statue), turn right onto St Charles Avenue. There is a streetcar stop between the roundabout and the highway. Take the closer streetcar, headed under the highway. It costs $1.25 per trip (or you can purchase a $5 day pass once aboard).
4. Exit streetcar at Felicity Street. There is a Wal-greens on the right corner.
5. Take a left onto Felicity (away from Wal-greens, past Regions bank) and continue on Felicity for 1/5 mile until you come to Annunciation Street. We are located on the far left corner at the intersection of Felicity and Annunciation.
CREDIT CARDS: In order to save guest money, and comply with recent security measures to protect your card use- we no longer accept credit cards for payment at the desk. Previously a 3.9% merchant fee applied. We now have installed a ATM in common room that allows cash withdrawals for only $2.50 per transaction.

I've just returned from a two-day, $489 Delta Dream Vacation, and dream is indeed the operative word. How like a dream it passed!
Forty-eight hours in Vegas allows many things, but it is not for procrastinators or spontaneous types who rise late and improvise. If you aim to partake of the quintessential Vegas experience—and really get your money's worth from your Dream Vacation—you must plan well ahead, and plan within an inch of your life.
You might consider the pace of my trip alarming. I was lucky if I spent a total of seven hours in my Treasure Island bed—but then, I didn't come here to sleep. If the concept of playing Beat the Clock while vacationing strikes you as more nightmare than dream, read no further. To anyone game enough to continue, I offer the following disclaimer, in the words of the artist formerly known as Prince: "I was dreaming when I wrote this; forgive me if it goes astray."
After approaching the Strip by Gray Line bus from McCarran Airport, my fellow passengers and I are deposited at our respective hotels by the driver, a self-appointed one-man welcoming committee. He supplies a running commentary, pointing out sights like the world's most powerful laser beam, which is green, comes from the fountain of the Hilton, and tonight is operating at only 60 percent of its awesome capacity. No matter: every neon sign in Vegas appears to be going full strength, working up a megawattage blaze of glory. Vegas, not Paris, is the real City of Light.
Most hotels are tomb-quiet after midnight. Not Vegas hotels. At two in the morning the Treasure Island reception desk is as noisy and synapse-jangling as one of the 2,169 slot machines in the casino. It might as well be high noon. (High noon is actually quieter, I discover.) Don't assume staff members aren't on their toes at this hour. For the first time in all my travels, I am asked to present photo ID at check-in.
After napping for a few hours, I decide the hotel is nice enough, with rooms that are plenty big. The principal draw is the "Buccaneer Bay Sea Battle," whose protagonists exchange pyrotechnics five or six times daily and sink a pirate ship to the delight of 12-year-old boys of all ages. The Jolly Roger theme extends even to the carpeting (with a sunken-treasure motif) and restaurants (the staggering breakfast buffet is billed as "a captain's feast for a peasant's wage").
But for me Treasure Island is an amusing sideshow; the main event is the Mirage hotel, minutes from Treasure Island by tram. With its shark tank, dolphin exhibit, tropical rain forest lobby, volcano that erupts every 15 minutes nightly, and carpeting decorated with flowers as lush as a dehydrated desert traveler's hallucination, the Mirage is the place to be.
I may be only half-awake, but Siegfried & Roy's royal white tigers are out cold. Upon stepping off the tram, I've made a beeline to their lounging place at the Mirage, a glass-enclosed habitat "designed to mirror the palaces in India where the tigers roamed free." I'm moved almost to tears by the sight of these snowy creatures dozing like great babies, tongues protruding from their giant mouths, front paws crossed with Emily Post delicacy.
I resolve that the slot machines at my hotel—and at the airport, and in the 7-Elevens—will have no power to tempt me. I have never been fortunate with any sort of gamble, and I am not about to try fooling Lady Luck in her own backyard.
Museum-going presents itself as a virtuous alternative. There ARE "serious" exhibitions in Las Vegas—the Las Vegas Art Museum, the Clark County Heritage Museum, the Nevada State Museum & Historical Society—but who needs gravitas?
My first stop is the Liberace Museum, where Mr. Showmanship's dazzling effects are displayed in three buildings of a strip mall. The pianos, the cars, the miniature cars; the candelabra, the awards, the bow ties; the fur-trimmed, bugle-beaded, feather-crested, bright rhinestone-lined costumes, including one number Lee called his Lasagna Suit ("I always wear this when I'm cooking lasagna so you can't see if I've spilled anything"); the photo-realist portraits of him and of his bespectacled mom; the numerous objets graven with his splendid image—all are here.
My next stop is a natural. Vegas, where everything is the mostest, serves as one of the logical homes of the Guinness World of Records Museum & Gift Shop. (Vegas itself is reportedly the fastest-growing city in the United States.)

Also, the family of Gregory Johnson II is offering a $1,000 reward in addition to the Crime Stoppers reward for any more information regarding his shooting death on Nov. 1, 2012, at J. Y. Trice Apartments in Rosedale.
The Johnson family made an official plea for help with the crime this morning in Rosedale.
The Bolivar Commercial will have more on this announcement in Sunday's edition.
Johnson was discovered shot in the front seat of his vehicle after it had run into a wall of an apartment building.
In 2009, Peter Stout was found in his home with multiple stab wounds to his chest and legs. However, there were no signs of forced entry into the house.
According to then Mound Bayou Police Chief Simon Bush at the time of the murder, "Stout had called and said he needed an ambulance, that he had been stabbed."
Bush said when officers arrived on scene he was dead.
For some time after the murder, the police had a person of interest in the case. Nothing came of the lead and the case was eventually turned over to the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department.
"The case is not closed but due to resources and case load we've had to focus on other cases," said Bolivar County Sheriff Kelvin Williams in a recent interview.
Joseph Stout, Peter's brother, said he has heard rumors and gossip that gives him the impression his brother's murder could be solved if the right person would come forward.
To provide information on either of these cases, or any case, contact the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department at 662-843-5378 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
CrimeStoppers takes anonymous tips on crimes. A caller is given an id number and if the caller's information leads to an arrest or conviction, that person could receive a cash reward from CrimeStoppers.

Kistler Racing Products Returns As FAST Series Title Sponsor In 2010
Monday, 21 December 2009
By Bryan Autullo - F.A.S.T. Public Relations
(Maumee, OH)
The Fremont/Attica Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) is pleased to announce that Kistler Racing Products will return as the series title sponsor for the 2010 racing season. After a successful inaugural season, the F.A.S.T. series is excited about continuing its relationship with the Kistler brand. Kistler Racing Products and Kistler Engines are very well known in 410 sprint car racing and to have them associated once again with the Fremont/Attica Sprint Title is a shot in the arm for the series. Kistler Racing Products, a division of Kistler Engines, is well into their 2nd year of operation and will once again bring their expertise to the racers at Fremont Speedway and Attica Raceway Park where the chase for the 2010 Kistler Cup will begin once again in April. "Kistler Engines continues to be an icon in 410 sprint car racing and has powered sprint cars to victory at every level of this sport since 1993," said F.A.S.T. co-founder Bryan Autullo. "Paul Kistler knows the sprint car business and when it comes to making horsepower he gets the job done. I want to thank Paul, Dave, and Brian for their continued support of our vision for this area."
The F.A.S.T. Championship Series paid out nearly $30,000 in cash and another $30,000 in contingency prizes and awards in 2009. Craig Mintz was crowned Champion at the October awards banquet and took home the Kistler Cup trophy. "We couldn't have done it without the support of Kistler Racing Products and the rest of the great businesses who contributed to this point fund," said Autullo. "All of the sponsors and advertisers who stepped up and made this concept a reality should be commended. We are comitted to making things bigger and better for the upcoming season and we'll have more big announcements soon." The F.A.S.T. point fund is paid in addition to the two individual track point funds. The competitive hot bed of 410 sprint car racing in Northern Ohio produced 3 different Champions with Mintz hauling home the F.A.S.T. series hardware as Chris Andrews took the Attica Raceway Park track championship and Brock Mayes wore the crown at Fremont Speedway. This was the first time any of the three had won a championship title The F.A.S.T. series is working on the 2010 schedule in conjunction with the two tracks and planning several off-season events. FASTfest II, The 2nd Annual Racer's Chili Challenge, and a few other events are in the works for the winter months to keep the fans involved all year long. Look for the F.A.S.T. display at upcoming area mall shows, trade shows, swap meets, and the Kistler Engines/Kistler Racing Products 2nd Annual Open House on January 9th. "We are committed to keeping the fans involved throughout the winter months," said series co-founder Scott Porter. "Race fans are a very tight-knit community and there aren't many things to do when its cold outside and the snow is falling. We try to give everyone something to look forward to during the winter months." The F.A.S.T. group is also working with Kistler Racing Products to produce some new merchandise that will be revealed soon to the racing community. "We don't slow down when the racing stops," added Porter.
About Our Title Sponsor:

They pride themselves in high tech, innovative designs, producing highly competitive engines for Sprint 410's as well as Late Models, 360's, Midgets and 305's.

In addition to complete engine building and machining services, Kistler Engines also stocks a wide variety of "hard core" engine parts. With a vision of adding a complete sprint car parts store, Kistler hired key staff members to be able to offer the same type of service at Kistler Racing Products as he has with his engine business. Brian Kemenah and Dave Deyo take care of the day to day operations of KRP. Kemenah is a 4-time All Star Crew Chief of the Year and is a major asset to Kistler Racing Products as customers are able to ask technical questions and receive race proven answers. You can also visit Kistler racing Products at their parts truck every weekend in the pits at Attica and Fremont.

Rain Trench Coat
Great Product
I was pleasantly surprised the first time I got to wear the trench coat. It kept me dry and protected me well. One great thing about this is the ease with which it folds and fits in my briefcase so that I have it in case inclement weather arises quickly.
May 12, 2013
Great Raincoat
It's a raincoat works! Water, it just beads up and runs off even in a downpour. It is breathable, light and easily packed. In addition it looks good, really good and has zipped pockets galore...including one large one near the front hem and two that I found by accident under a flap of both buttoned side pockets. It seems that no desirable feature was overlooked.
March 29, 2014
a great raincoat.
great raincoat, I bought the inside liner as I travel to colder cities. It folds easily into the aircraft luggage bins and never wrinkles, I highly recommend this great buy.
February 16, 2014
Style, style, style
Excellent style and workmanship - nicely conceived product
March 4, 2014
Great Business Trench
Very nice coat for keeping me dry in a suit. The liner is nice and warm, but the arms are longer than the coat.
February 12, 2014
Looks good
The coat does fold up and fit into the pouch that comes with it. Unfolded the wrinkles do not show. It has not rained on it yet so can't vouch for impermeability.

I always think I'm going to love off-days. I'm going to get loads done and not miss baseball irrationally (it's just one day!), but when it comes down to it, I hate off-days. I'm not accustomed to this practice of doing normal, humanbeing things like not scheduling my day around a baseball game. It confuses me. I don't get much done at all. So! With that in mind, I decided to make a helpful post – don't you love those? – 25 Ways to Occupy Yourself On an Off-Day. Without further ado…
25. Take "occupy" literally. Choose someone who's been really annoying you lately and just occupy their space. Your boss's desk is a great example. Get some markers and make a sign or two, bring your old tent and you're good to do. Easy peasy. (I do not take responsibility if you lose your job, though. Being a rebel does have occupational hazards.)
24. Take up basket-weaving. I hear it's fun and super time consuming.
23. Get a pair of shearing scissors and offer free haircuts on the street. People will love you.
22. Brush up on your Buster Bash skills. You can never have too many sunflower seeds.
21. Make a list of all your best Jose Altuve jokes and publish it on the internet.
20. Better still, make a list of your ways to stay occupied and post it on the internet. Hey, that actually sounds like a good idea!
19. Petition Bud Selig to eliminate off-days. It worked real well with the whole Emily-for-Commish thing.
18. Blame Diamond Girl for this atrocity because of that sign she made way back when.
17. Make cupcakes. Just 'cause.
16. Head to the bookstore or your Kindle (whichismurderingpreciousprintbutwtvr) and read some positive psychology books. The Giants will be so rested! They'll beat AZ! Off-days are awesome!
15. Cry. Stock up on mocha ice cream. You know the end of this story.
14. Make MLB Memes and send them to your friends. Refresh your email and glower when nobody answers in ten minutes.
13. Post a few cryptic Facebook statuses that are totally directed at your football-watching friends.
12. Watch The Hobbit trailer a few(hundred) times. Smiley face.
11. Watch a baseball movie or two. Not recommended. Baseball movies are unanimously awful, in my opinion, but you all disagree so proceed. I will not say a word. (More.)
10. Try to paint your nails orange and black, like Brian Wilson's. Fail. Move on.
9. Listen to 2010 top hits. You now have two options: a) Get teary eyed and reminiscent b) Thank Higher Power of Choice That We Are Not in 2010 Anymore Because That Music Was God-Awful.
8. Politely but firmly beg Sergio Romo to confine his tweets to 140 characters.
7. Read certain stats about the Reds. NLDS is unwinnable. Get depressed.
6. Read other stats about the Reds. We got this thing! Get excited.
5. Enter the Giants lottery for the opportunity to buy playoff tickets. Prepare to live in abject poverty for the rest of your life, but it will have been worth it.
4. Polish up your proposal of marriage to Marco Scutaro and send it off. Start shopping for rings.
3. Also get a caterer and reserve the venue and send out save-the-dates with the groom's name TBA. Normal behavior and Marco will think it's adorable.
2. Come up with a new playoff superstition. You know not washing your shirt doesn't work, right? Right?
1. Do not, under any circumstances, do what I just did.
Diamond Girl

The Reality of Black Friday
December 1, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Suleiman Salem, TMO Foundation
Mask? Check.
Bullet-proof vest? Check.
Goggles? Check.
That completes my 2012 Black Friday shopping check-list. Apparently, shopping on Black Friday is no longer simply waiting in line, finding an item on sale, and purchasing it. According to various reports from all around the nation, there were at least ten major incidents this Black Friday. And for what? To save a few dollars.
A Walmart in California wins the first place prize for "most excruciatingly painful to watch". Literally. A woman in her thirties couldn't wait in line behind 20 others for an Xbox gaming console, so she derived a cunning scheme – premeditatedly – to give herself a competitive advantage. Her plan? Pepper spray the 20 lesser beings ahead of her, procure the Xbox, and leave the store without being hassled. What actually ensued was chaotic; earsplitting screams, blazing eyes, agonizing coughs, and a near-stampede. The woman then realized what a pathetic mistake she had made and hastily rushed out of the store. According to police reports, she didn't end up purchasing the Xbox that was only $50 discounted.
Pepper-spray aside, there were brawls in many stores, gunshots fired in others, pandemonium over a $2 waffle-maker, and a few robberies, hence the checklist for personal safety. Nevertheless, the people are not completely at fault. Acknowledge that mankind will forever comprise of unintelligent, reckless, babbling shoppers. If Black Friday was not over-exaggerated and hyped up by every store and newspaper, online or in print, the masses wouldn't be uncontrolled. Furthermore, many people don't realize that they're actually being ripped off by prices that have been raised before being slashed for Black Friday. To top that off, most of these deals were available throughout the year, when deal-hunters, including myself, were raiding the World Wide Web in search of the best deals, many of which topped Black Friday discounts.
From an Islamic perspective, there is nothing wrong with wanting to purchase discounted items. There is, however, something majorly wrong with someone who camps out for hours and spends all night saving money, but throughout the rest of the year doesn't bother giving such priority to acts of worship. We may all look like devout, pious worshipers in front of our communities, but ultimately, all one needs is a reality check: am I giving my Lord, the Creator and Sustainer, the same priority I'm giving a sales frenzy? Or am I neglecting even the most rudimentary acts of worship? After all, our material wealth is temporary and will one day cease to exist. Our good deeds, however, last an eternity.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine the concentration of mycophenolic acid (MPA) in the blood in order to monitor levels and prevent toxicity
When to Get Tested?
As soon as mycophenolate therapy begins and whenever the dose is changed; may be ordered frequently at first, then at regular intervals; whenever excess or deficient levels of MPA are suspected
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of mycophenolic acid in the blood. Mycophenolic acid is the active metabolite of mycophenolate, a drug that is primarily given to people who have had a heart, kidney, or liver transplant to help prevent rejection and secondarily to people with a variety of autoimmune disorders.
Normally, a person's immune system defends the body against infections and can distinguish between self and non-self. The immune system recognizes a transplanted organ as non-self and begins to attack it. In the case of autoimmune disorders, the immune system mistakenly targets the body's own cells and tissues, causing damage and inflammation. Mycophenolate belongs to a group of drugs that suppress the immune system (immunosuppressants) and helps to prevent organ rejection, tissue inflammation, and damage. It acts by inhibiting the formation of an enzyme that is necessary for the production of special immune cells called T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes. This inhibition causes a decrease in the immune system function and in antibody production, reducing the body's immune response to transplanted organs or to its own tissues and cells.
Mycophenolate is given to organ transplant recipients in conjunction with other immunosuppressant drugs, such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus. In the treatment of autoimmune disorders, mycophenolate may be used as a single agent (although the person may also be taking other medications). It may be used for treating conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn disease.
There are two formulations of the drug available, mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolate sodium. The drug is metabolized by the liver to form first the active mycophenolic acid (MPA) and then the inactive mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG). Cells in the body turn some of the MPAG back into MPA. The level of MPA in the blood rises when MPA is first formed and then again when some of it is re-formed. Most MPAG, and small amounts of MPA, are eliminated from the body in the urine.
Doctors typically give a standard dose of mycophenolate and then monitor its effect clinically. Most immunosuppressants must be maintained within a narrow therapeutic range. If the level is too low, organ rejection may occur; if it is too high, then the person may develop toxicity. However, the therapeutic range for mycophenolic acid has not yet been fully established and physicians can manage most patients symptomatically.
When the physician chooses to monitor mycophenolic acid levels, the mycophenolic acid blood test is usually measured as a trough level and correlated to clinical side effects. It is timed so that the collection is just prior to the next dose at the drug's lowest concentration in the blood.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Jonathan Wagner (from left), Frank Paul, Rose Le Tran, Patrick Tierney, Nicole Miller and Landree Fleming star in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at Theatre at the Center.
♦ July 11-Aug. 18
♦ Theatre at the Center, 1040 Ridge Road, Munster, Ind.
♦ Tickets $38-$42
♦ (219) 836-3255, theatreatthecenter.com
Updated: August 6, 2013 6:06AM
When David Perkovich cast the latest musical comedy at Theatre at the Center in Munster, Ind., he had no problem picking the actor for the lead role.
He also didn't have a problem spelling her surname.
Cory Goodrich will play the moderator in the "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," which runs July 11-Aug. 18.
Except for Goodrich, the show is an ensemble production, playing off the modern popularity of spelling bees.
"I had a huge turnout of a couple of hundred for auditions," Perkovich said. "But I didn't have to audition Goodrich."
Perkovich had directed Goodrich in 1990 in one of her first shows in the Chicago area after she graduated from Michigan State University's theater program.
"Cory has one of the most beautiful voices around," he said.
"I directed her in 'Brigadoon' at the (former) Candlelight (Dinner Playhouse). She won a Jeff Award nomination for the role of Meg."
Goodrich has since transitioned from ingenue roles to the more mature parts — "motherly roles," she calls them, such as the wife of P.T. Barnum in "Barnum" that just wrapped at Chicago's Mercury Theater and "The Christmas Schooner."
In real life, Goodrich is the mother of two girls — Celia, 11, and Genevieve, 8 — who also have had to deal with spelling lessons at their school in Wheaton.
In addition to appearing on many stages throughout the area and the United States, Goodrich has performed outreach in inner-city high schools and children's programs.
That makes her somewhat experienced at dealing with the preteens in the fictitious "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" except these prepubescents are proficient at polysyllabic words.
In the cast are six contestants — plus three volunteers from the audience — in addition to two adult assistants to Goodrich's role of Rona Lisa Perretti.
She is Putnam's longtime spelling bee hostess and was the champion in the third annual contest.
Actually, all the actors are adults, but Perkovich chose the twentysomething actors as the contestants for their ability to play credible and quirky preteens.
They include Frank J. Paul as Isaac "Chip" Berkowitz, Jonathan Wagner as William Barfee, Nicole Miller as Olive Ostrovsky, Landre Fleming as Logainne Schwarz and grubenierre, Patrick Tierney as Leafy Coneybear, and Rose Le Tran as Marcy Park.
It's quite a diverse half dozen, though. One is loud and combative; another has attention deficit disorder.
There is one contestant who has a remarkable technique of spelling out words on the floor with his foot.
Loganinne got her long surname by combining the names of her two gay fathers.
Jake Mahler and Bear Bellinger play the two vice principals.
The long, one-act show first hit Chicago in 2005 at Drury Lane Theatre Water Tower Place, shortly after it left Broadway. The show became a worldwide hit and has been translated into several languages.
William Finn wrote the music and lyrics. The book by Rachel Sheinkin won a Tony Award.
Words by the audience volunteers are often unscripted and improvised but not by Goodrich.
"I'm not much of a speller myself," she said. "Thank goodness for spell check" or cheque as it's spelled in Britain.
Don Snider is a local freelance writer.

St. Thomas Boat Rental – Custom, Luxury BVI & USVI Boat Charters Of The Best Beaches, Beach Bars & Snorkeling Spots in The U.S. &
British Virgin Islands!
St. John • St. Thomas • Tortola • Norman Island • Jost Van Dyke • Virgin Gorda • Water Island • Magens Bay • Trunk Bay • Caneel Bay • Pirates Bight • Soggy Dollar • Foxy's • Foxy's Taboo • Ivan's Stress Free Bar • The Willy T • The Baths • Indians • The Caves • Snorkel With Turtles
ARRRRR Ye Ready to Explore The BVI or USVI on a St. Thomas Boat Rental/St. John Boat Rental Tour?
Pirate's Paradise Adventures is your private St. Thomas Boat Rental or boat charter of choice for the most picturesque sights in the Caribbean. From the gorgeous "magazine cover" beaches of St. John to the famous (infamous?) island bars of Jost Van Dyke, to the undersea excitement of snorkeling with sea turtles, rays, and other Caribbean sea life off Norman Island, we can help you plan the perfect day in paradise – on a St. Thomas Boat Rental tour of the USVI and BVI!
It's The Journey, Not Just The Destination…And It's A Better Journey On Our Boats!
Having the right boat makes all the difference in the world and we offer a St. Thomas Boat Rentals experience designed to give you the ultimate in comfort, luxury and fun! Our boats, Red Beard and Black Beard, were selected for their "creature comforts," each featuring fully upholstered chaise lounge seating up front for the absolute best views of the Islands! There is truly no better way to see the beautiful beaches and cays as they appear before you in these seats. Both boats feature comfortable, wrap-around seating in the back that is great for conversations. There are plenty of drink holders right where you want them. Want to soak up some Caribbean sun? Stretch out on the enormous sun pads – A Pirate's Paradise Adventures Exclusive! – they're the size of a double bed!
Both boats have wet bars and coolers to keep your drinks icy cold, and you can bring along your favorite "adult beverages." The stereo sound systems have plenty of speakers throughout each boat, making the whole day a party. Feel free to bring along your iPod or other music device and plug it in to hear your favorite tunes.
Want To Snorkel With Turtles, Rays & Tropical Fish?
Red Beard and Black Beard have large, easy-access swim steps and ladders that allow you to get in and out of the water gracefully and easily. There's even a fresh water shower by the swim step to rinse off the salt water. We also provide free, high quality snorkel gear – mask, snorkel, fins, and safety vest – so you can see all the colorful coral, tropical fish, sea turtles, rays and maybe even a reef shark or two…
Getting into the water with most charter boats means flinging yourself over the side with all your snorkel gear on. This can understandably be difficult for older or larger people, or those with mobility issues. Our boats have large, easy-to-get-to swim steps, where you can sit and put on your gear and gently slide into the water. Getting back on the boats is easier, too. The swim steps make it easy to climb onto, plus there's plenty of room for others to assist you.
The St. Thomas Boat Rental Boat You Choose Makes a HUGE Difference In Your Trip!
While there are many Virgin Islands boat rental companies that take passengers to the BVIs and USVIs, they almost always use a center console "fishing" style boat. We wanted to give people a better option in their choice of boat. We couldn't find a suitable boat anywhere on the islands, so when we bought our first boat, Red Beard, we shipped her over from the mainland. Our customers loved Red Beard, and told us what a special occasion their day was because of her. The word spread, and the demand for another boat like Red Beard grew! So, we found and fell in love with Black Beard, and shipped her to the islands, too!
These boats are very different from any other boat in the islands, and we think you'll love the extra "creature comforts," including forward-facing lounge seating up front, fully padded and upholstered seats and sides, large swim steps, sun pads, and a lot more…you can see the full range of features on the "Our Boats" page. Most of the Virgin Islands Boat Rental companies can take you to the same places…we'd just like to take you there in comfort and style on Red Beard or Black Beard!

Great Spoof
Rhubarb Vaselino lives in a small village, when he and his friend, Sapo, enter a bullfighting contest, Sapo dies, but Rhubarb kills three bulls and becomes a local hero earning money. Two years later, he is living in Madrid as a national hero , when he becomes involved with Filet de Sol, and his lover finds out, he must fight the most deadliest in Spain, in the last bull fight of the season.
Mud and Sand is a silent film starring Stan Laurel, that was filmed in 1922. Laurel plays a matador who makes a fool of a famous Spanish dancer. The dancer demands revenge and, in the end, kills the matador by throwing a concealed brick at him after a fight with the fiercest bull in Spain. The moral of the story, shown in the last scene, is: "If you want to live a long full life, cut out the bull!" The title spoofs the Rudolph Valentino film Blood and Sand, and many scenes directly parody that film.
Stan Laurel as Rhubarb Vaselino
Leona Anderson as Filet de Sole
Wheeler Dryden as Sapo
Sam Kaufman as Humador
Mae Laurel as Pavaloosky
Julie Leonard as Caramel
Stan Laurel was nearly killed during the making of this movie. In the scene where he is being chased down the street by a bull, it was a real bull chasing Stan, which caught up to him and nearly killed him. After this incident, the crew decided to scare Stan by telling him that the camera didn't get the picture, and the scene would have to be shot again.
This was one of a series of films that Stan Laurel did that were parodies of popular films. This four reel short was a parody of Blood and Sand with Rudolph Valentino and was in theatres only three months after that film was released.
Some of the titles in this story have a different font than the others. That's because they were added in later, to replace the original titles which had gone missing over the years (legend has it they were processed with inferior chemicals and were the first parts of the films to deteriorate).

Pretty funny!
It is a funny movie. That was a good comment one reviewer made, about how all the "fighting bulls" in the movie are Herefords, that white-faced moo-cow we're all familiar with.
(I don't THINK this is a spoiler) :
I like the way the matador wins a bull-fight. He's in this high-walled adobe bull ring, and you know he won a bout when the bull comes flying over the wall and lands in a heap. And similarly when the bull wins a bout.
Pretty droll.
firstname.lastname@example.com -
Hi. I've seen "Mud and Sand" and it's hilarious, especially the dressing room scene. This brings up a question: in the original "Blood and Sand" there is a dressing room scene but in every DVD I've seen, that scene is either cut short, or missing altogether. For instance, the sash-wrapping is never shown.
Now it's been suggested to me that the scene was cut before "Blood and Sand" was released, but this can't be true. I say this because in "Mud and Sand," there is a comical sash-wrapping, among other things. There would have been no point in having a parody of such a scene unless the audience already knew what was being parodied, i.e., they would have to have recognized it from the original. This is why I feel the full-length dressing scene must have existed in the original "Blood and Sand."
Does anyone know if a print of the complete scene exists anywhere? Please let me know. Thank you.

what about the music
Besides Stan Laurel,I love the music in the first 6 minutes of this video.Correct me if I'm wrong,but isn't this Jelly roll Morton?

We almost lost Stan in this one
It's in the scene where his last bull is loose in the street, before they get to the arena. The bull chases him down the street, and you can see something happens way back down there away from the camera, but you can't see what. I thought at the time, that stunt guy had a close call. Well, it wasn't a stunt man. Per a note at the IMDB, it was Stan Laurel, and he did almost get killed by the bull down there. Apparently the film crew told him the scene as bad and he'd have to reshoot it. They had very grotesque senses of humor back then.
The bull in the last scene is a Hereford, and I may be wrong, but I don't think these pretty, placid animals have ever numbered among the fighting bulls of Spain. America was more rural back then and quite familiar with cattle breeds; this was probably one of the gags in the film.
A lot of the movie echoes the film it is parodying, but there are a couple of classic Stan Laurel moments that rise above that: where he messes around with Vaseline and hair spikes, and then in the arena where he suddenly does a few slow-motion leaps in the air for no particular reason at all, except that it's funny (he's supposed to be high on ether at that point). I'd like to think some of the puns were Laurel's, too:, notably the one where he tells his mother that old Sap finally got his. You can just hear him saying something along the same lines to Ollie, later on, and he did write a lot of their material.
Good movie! Just gave it a 3 because it's a parody, not totally original.
Wilford B. Wolf -
Timeless Slapstick Classic
Before he was paired with Oliver Hardy in the late 1920s, Stan Laurel did solo shorts like this one, much in the style of Fatty Arbuckle or Buster Keaton. These days, Laurel's solo work is often forgotten or overlooked, but this parody is fine example.
As a parody of the Valentino silent "Blood and Sand," it follows humorous rise to fame of a small time matador from Spain. The gags (and surprising ly, the puns) in this film remain timeless, and you can see echos of these gags in Monty Python, Bugs Bunny or Woody Allen. There is also an unusual breaking of the fourth wall on occasion, which is make this film seem far ahead of its time in terms of comedy. Like many of the comedians of his era, Laurel is an incredible acrobat and performs the physically demanding stunts wonderfully. While not as daring as Harold Lloyd or Buster Keaton (for example, there a couple cases where a dummy stands in briefly for Laurel), the timing and expressions are played to the hilt.
The condidtion of the print itself is a bit uneven, with some parts very dark, and the title cards done in a couple different styles (some probably original, and others from a later reissue in the 1940s?). For the most part, however, the film remains very watchable and most enjoyable.

Midnight Castle
You're Going To Be Playing until Midnight!
This is surprisingly a fun and addicting HO game. You are given goals to achieve by different people that are helping you get to the Midnight Castle. There are potions to collect keys and scepters to find and a whole lot of HOS which have to cool down after each search before you can re-visit them. You first accept the activity and then scour the HOS to find the parts and pieces and when the goals are met you collect the reward and on to the next. The good thing about this game is that although there are a lot of things to do, the tutorial is good and it isn't difficult to play.

Excellent F2P Game
This is, by far, my *favorite* free-to-play (F2P) game yet. It's definitely a quality game.
+ Superb graphics
+ Sounds are good
+ There are characters to interact with.
+ There's no energy component! Hidden Object scenes are played, then a timer starts until the next time you can play it. The waits aren't terribly long.
+ The social aspect of the game doesn't seem forced.
+ Crafting items is interesting, and you can unlock many new things to craft.
+ The game, so far, doesn't feel like a money grab. You can play it a lot more than other F2P games without running out of items that you have to pay real life money for. You can choose to purchase gems or coins, but it's not really necessary.
- Hidden Object scenes get repetitive in the beginning. You do have to do the same scenes quite a bit, but you also level up in them after so often, so they get more difficult (which I like).
- The game is a little confusing at first and certain things only unlock after you hit Level 5 and Level 6, so you have to stick with it for a bit.
- The story is a little muddled.
Other than those cons, this is a nice F2P game. It doesn't feel like other games that are in your face wanting you to buy coins and diamonds for real money, which is pleasant.

Please Persevere
Once I had learnt the tricks to playing this game and coping with wait times , I was addicted. The graphics and music are pleasing and apart from a couple of very tiny but seemingly persistent bugs the gameplay is fun and relatively challenging.
A lot of players seem to get to a particular point in the game and begin to find it frustrating, my advice is change the way you play (slightly) and perservere - the pace soon picks up again.
I have not yet felt the need to spend any real money and in general I usually do not like repetative HOS games but I honestly love this one
January 23, 2014
I found this game to be highly addictive. I find myself going back to it time and time again. Yes, the HOG's are repeats, but it helps you to advance. Once I read that the hidden flowers were morphing, I was able to find them fairly quickly. This game is great quick "fix" for HOG fans. Really enjoying this game. I have loved this game and surprised it is a freebie!!
January 21, 2014
Great game considering its Free to Play
I was surprised that this game was free and it actually was not a bad game to play. It is not all HOS but most of it is. It does have a storyline and much better than any free game I have played. Definitely worth playing and downloading especially since it is free and a decent game to try. I recommend this game.
December 21, 2013
I am hooked
It is an excellent F2P game and I love it although it is sometimes boring when you search for identical items or on same locations. The developers made great graphics, as usual
I play now on lever 18 and can't wait for the update.
You can have many friends (after level 6) and share gifts with them.
I have over 100 friends. :-)
January 21, 2014
Excellent,Pure Hidden Object Game
I love this game !! There are a lot of fun quests,the visual/sound quality is amazing,the storyline is LEGENDARY!
I recommend this game!!

Midnight Castle
I love this game! The only thing I would change is more variety in hidden object searches.
January 21, 2014
Midnight Castle
Really enjoyed the game. Moves quickly and not too many mini-games to spoil HOS.
January 1, 2014
Finally a long HOG
Its a good game, I love that it doesn't end quick like others. the only down side is the long recovery time for each HOS. It gets boring having to wait for one to open back up. though i understand that's why the make you buy gems. i still wish the cool down time was faster. otherwise it is an awesome game.

Chicken Enchiladas
Why I chose to wear a white sweater and khaki pants on the day I made these amazing, saucy chicken enchiladas, I'll never know. But even though my nice clothes are soaking in a bath of laundry detergent and hot water, all I can think about is how last night's dinner was SO worth the gloppy red stains and piles of dishes.
This was a dinner I was originally reserving for the weekend, but as I read the recipe for these enchiladas, I couldn't help but drool and start craving them immediately. After just under an hour of chopping, seasoning, sautéing and baking, these enchiladas were staring back at me and my husband as a delicious dinner we couldn't wait to devour!
Of course, when I wrangled them out of the pan and onto the plate, they promptly split and oozed gooey cheese, chicken and tomatoes. But that's just the nature of enchiladas. Everyone knows they're not pretty, but they sure are tasty!

The most delicious—and nutritious—entrées in town.
1 Spicy, fermented Korean kimchi is high in nutrients, loaded with healthy bacteria, and low in calories, fat and sugar. As J-Pan Restaurant owner Jane Dokko says, "It's the Korean version of chicken soup for the soul." When you need a kimchi fix, J-Pan's kimchi sampler (cabbage, cucumber, radish and spinach) is just what the doctor ordered. 3800 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota; (941) 954-5726; 8126 Lakewood Main St., Lakewood Ranch; (941) 907-1290.
2 If your childhood spinach tasted like it does in the Bijou Café's spinach and roasted tomato capellini, you would have spared Mom and Dad your dinner-table tantrums. This simple, hearty dish is made with sautéed spinach, roasted garlic, tomatoes and basil over capellini (angel hair) pasta. It comes with cheese to sprinkle—but served on the side for those shunning calories and cholesterol. 1287 First St., Sarasota, (941) 366-8111.
3 Let us praise the humble chickpea. It's low in fat and high in fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C. Can something so healthy taste so great? The folks at Chutney's know it can. Their chana masala (chickpea curry), is a fragrant stew made from generous portions of crushed tomatoes and caramelized onions—and a colorful riot of spices. This hearty dish is a staple throughout Southeast Asia; now it is for us, as well. 1944 Hillview St., Sarasota, (941) 954-4444.
4 Put away your pocket calculator. Michael's On East takes the number-crunching out of low-cal eating. Its "City Lite" lunch menu boasts seven delectable dishes, each under 600 calories. Chef Jamil Pineda's Southwestern seared mahi mahi is a particularly flavorsome form of girth control. Bathed in a piquant gazpacho created from yellow tomatoes and roasted corn-avocado salsa and served over sautéed spinach, this delicacy weighs in at 545 calories with only 24 grams of fat. Bon appétit! 1212 East Ave. S., Sarasota, (941) 366-0007.
5 Feast upon a heart-healthy grilled wild salmon bowl at Monterey Grill. The salmon is marinated in the house-made sesame garlic sauce and served over brown (or basmati) rice. Dig your chopsticks into this colorful mix of fish and rice mixed with crisply steamed snap peas, green onion, and avocado. Plus, this bountiful bowl o' goodness is low in saturated fat and packed with omega-3 fatty acids. 3800 S. Tamiami Trail, Paradise Plaza, Sarasota, (941) 366-0729.
6 When it's time for your daily dose of omega-3, do it in style. Chef Ray Arpke of Euphemia Haye suggests you indulge in his smoked salmon on buckwheat crêpes, thinly sliced, cold-smoked salmon served over warm, Russian-style crêpes. He garnishes this masterpiece with a harmonious duet of caviars, sour cream, minced onions, capers and fresh dill. 5540 Gulf of Mexico Drive, Longboat Key, (941) 383-3633.
7 When is a salad more than a salad? When it's Veg's 2164 salad, a powerhouse of super greens and veggies that creates, in the words of owner Maggie Glucklich, "a rainbow on your plate." Think lushly green kale, dark purple cabbage, bright orange carrots, riotously red beets and sea-green avocado. And papaya seed citrus dressing is oil-free. How did the salad get its name? "It's our address," laughs Glucklich. 2164 Gulf Gate Drive, Sarasota, (941) 312-6424.
8 According to some wholesome foodies, quinoa outclasses rice on every level. Prized as a sacred seed in the ancient Inca civilization, it's still a Peruvian nutritional treasure. With its nutty taste and chewy texture, this protein-packed food is flavorful, filling and just plain fantastic. At Libby's, chef Francis Casciato uses this magical grain in his lentil quinoa cakes. "It's my secret weapon," he admits. The secret is out. 1917 S. Osprey Ave., Sarasota, (941) 487-7300.
9 When it's time to hunker down to some raw protein, dig into the Kona Kampachi tartare at Derek's Culinary Casual, an adventurous but healthy ensemble of cucumber sorbet, watermelon gelée, black olive caramel and koshinato greens—with a kimchi vinaigrette. "Kona Kampachi, a fresh sashimi-grade fish, is full of omega-3," says Derek Barnes. "It's the perfect trinity—protein, omega-3 and fermented kimchi." 514 Central Ave., Sarasota, (941) 366-6565.
10 You don't have to be a vegan to love the raw vegan lasagna at Simon's Coffee House. Chef Scott Nuss creates this popular dish from fresh zucchini, kale, mushrooms, spinach and sundried tomatoes. And Nuss uses cashew nut butter for a rawlicious mock cheese. This melt-in-your-mouth lasagna might inspire you to go raw for real. 5900 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, (941) 926-7151.

Not sure about the style of this one, but some Syrahs are huge and delicious. Others are a bit lighter, a la merlot vs cab. I say jump.
Same here. Anyone try this previously? (I heavily rely on wine.woot opinions and have not been let down yet)
I had the '04(?) Merlot, Cab, and Syrah from Dusted Valley when they were offered on Woot years ago. Wish I had some notes, but I do remember really liking all three of them and am jumping on this offer, too. I seem to recall that the Syrah was our favorite.
Found an interesting article on the winery. http://blog.seattlepi.com/northwestwine/2010/06/03/walla-wallas-dusted-valley-vintners-leaving-others-in-dust/ Boomtown in the value label and according to this article the Merlot sells for $15, so I'm not sure about the MSRP stated here. http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20120620/BLOG5203/706209993 Still, it's a deal and I'm in for one.

+1 on this comment.. they were 04's 06's back then but I did enjoy them... taking a chance...
Do some exploring in west Paso Robles for some world class Syrah. A very good starter would be Stillman's Colossus. After that, move to Booker, Alban, Herman Story, Epoch, Denner... on and on. Syrah can be very, very good. I prefer the meaty, plum Syrahs. Normally what differentiates a good Syrah from a great one (for me) is the complexity and structure. A lot of Syrah can have great taste but be very monotonous. That being said, great Paso Robles Syrah is starting to get nearly as expensive as decent Napa cabs.
Sounds good; in for two. Edit: No shipping to Connecticut...in for none.

officials and the Republican Guards' commander pledging loyalty to the VP.
Maybe the VP does want this to happen and the US doesn't really mind if it
happens, as long as it disrupts the more unstable elements in Yemen
(tribesmen, islamists, AQAP, militants, etc) from forming a challenge to
the gov't and the tamer members of JMP and the other opposition.
Yemen bombs anti-government tribal area
SANAA, Yemen (AP) a** A senior tribal leader says Yemeni military forces
commanded by President Ali Abdullah Saleh's son have bombed several
villages of anti-government tribes north of the capital, killing at least
three people.
Sheik Ali Youssef of the Naham tribe says that Republic Guard forces using
warplanes and artillery pounded villages scattered in the Naham mountain
area, some 20 miles (30 kilometers) north of Sanaa.
Youssef said Tuesday the assault began a day earlier, and killed at least
three people and destroyed as many as 48 houses. Hundreds were forced to
flee their homes.
The Naham mountain area has seen clashes between government forces and
anti-Saleh tribes since the beginning of Yemen's popular uprising in
Tribesmen frequently have prevented military forces in the area from
deploying to the capital.
