Politico Claims it's 'Unclear' if Colorado Healthcare Plan Cancellations are Fault of Obamacare

The Senate race in Colorado has begun to turn in favor of the Republicans over the last few months but that favor may grow as this week it was learned that some 22,000 citizens are losing their healthcare plans. But Politico claims it is "unclear" if those cancellations are a result of Obamacare.
On Friday, only weeks before voters go to the polls, the Colorado Division of Insurance announced that 22,000 Coloradoans were losing their insurance plans this year and another 200,000 will likely lose theirs in 2015.
The announcement could not have come at a worse time for incumbent Democrat Senator Mark Udall whose campaign has recently begun to flounder in the face of a surging Republican opponent.
Surprising many in the Centennial State, Congressman Cory Gardner has jumped ahead of the long-time Senator and this massive wave of healthcare insurance policy cancellations could drive even more Republicans and independents to the polls next month.

One Day After Colorado Legalizes Pot, a 2-Year-Old Tests Positive for the Drug

Only one day after Colorado legalized marijuana, a 2-year-old child was tested positive for pot when she found and ate a cookie laced with the drug that was lying on the ground near her home.
Pot was legalized on January 1 and only a day later, on Wednesday January 2, a little child was rushed to the hospital after her mother, Aida Hernandez, observed her daughter acting like she was drunk.
Aida Hernandez her her 2-year-old daughter Evelyn.
"She was asleep, she was opening and closing her eyes and she couldn't walk really well. She was weak," Hernandez told Colorado's CBS affiliate.

'Denver Post' Brands 'Duck Dynasty's' Phil Robertson a 'Hate-Speech Spewer'

In a December 28 Facebook posting advertising its article on the A&E network's decision to reinstate Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson, the Denver Post called Robertson a "hate-speech spewer." So much for an unbiased reporting of the news.
To flack its December 28 article titled, "'Duck Dynasty' debacle winners and losers," by television critic, Joanne Ostrow, the Post threw up a blurb on Facebook saying that A&E "welcomed patriarch and hate-speech spewer Phil Robertson" back to the show.
"The feathers are no longer flying," the Facebook blurb reads. "For now, the "Duck Dynasty" debacle is settled. The network, A&E, has welcomed patriarch and hate-speech spewer Phil Robertson back into the fold. So who were the winners and losers in this sad episode?"
Many of the comments on the Facebook page take the Post to task for its extreme bias.

Media Ignoring That Colorado School Shooter Was Stopped by Armed Security Guard

Did you know that the latest left-winger who decided to shoot up a local school was stopped in 80 seconds by an armed security guard? Few do because the media refuses to focus on this fact.
Arapaho High School shooter Karl Pierson was loaded up for a long shooting spree when he entered his high school at about 12:30 on December 13. But it was all over in seconds resulting in this admitted communist shooting himself when he was confronted by an armed Arapahoe County Sheriff's officer. The sheriff was employed by the school as its Student Resource Officer.
The media isn't focusing much on the true facts in this story because it doesn't fit its narrative.
But the fact is the shooter was a left-wing criminal and was stopped by a man with a gun! These are facts that the left-wing, anti-Constitution media establishment are loath to report.
Victim Claire Davis, now in critical condition.
In fact, when it first published a story about the shooting, The Denver Post buried the fact that the boy was a self-identified socialist in the 13th paragraph of its story. But then, early the next morning, the paper erased the word "socialist" altogether and never told readers it had done so.
Why was the Post trying to shield this would be mass murderer from his own acclaimed, left-wing views?
Your guess is as good as mine. OK, who am I kidding, the left-wing paper didn't want to identify a killer as a socialist for fear that it would make socialists look bad. But think of this: would the paper have been as reluctant to identify this creep's political ideas if he called himself a tea partier?
Nope.They'd have been all over it.
Would be killer Karl Pierson.
The other key aspect of this story that most news outlets are trying to downplay is the fact that this kid was stopped in seconds by an armed security guard.
One of the few outlets to report on this fact was CNN, which wrote:
The deputy was yelling for people to get down and identified himself as a county deputy sheriff, Robinson said. "We know for a fact that the shooter knew that the deputy was in the immediate area and, while the deputy was containing the shooter, the shooter took his own life."
But even at that, these facts were buried deep down in the story instead of serving as a central point of the news as it should.
Left-wingers don't want America to know that this kid is a socialist nor do they want us all to know that an armed man in a school stopped a mass murder. This does not fit the story they want to tell the country.
"The only end of writing is to enable the reader better to enjoy life, or better to endure it."

Is It Outrageous That Denver Newspaper Now has a Pot Reviewer? Bill O'Reilly Thinks it is

It is now legal in Colorado to sell and buy marijuana. As a result of this law, The Denver Post newspaper has hired a "pot editor." Bill O'Reilly thinks this is an outrage.
The venerable, left-wing Denver paper hired toker Ricardo Baca to review pot sellers and write about the issues around the current legal status as the Centennial State moves forward with counties and communities figuring out how to write laws and ordinances to accommodate the new pot laws.
Well, maybe "toker" isn't the right word to use for Baca. In an appearance on the Stephen Colbert show he noted that he doesn't smoke weed. But he does eat it.

Roger Ebert Tries to Exploit Colorado Crime for Gun Control Purposes

-By Warner Todd Huston
Dear Mr. Ebert, the Colorado theater was a 'gun free zone'
Jumping on the gun-ban band wagon and to take political advantage of the murders in Colorado, film critic Roger Ebert immediately ran to his keyboard to decry our "insane" gun laws in an Op Ed in the New York Times. His goal was to invalidate concealed carry laws by noting that no one in the theater shot back at the murderer in black. But, Ebert misses an important point. The Cinemark theater chain has a "gun-free zone" policy.
In the NYT, Ebert decried America for its gun laws (my bold).
That James Holmes is insane, few may doubt. Our gun laws are also insane, but many refuse to make the connection. The United States is one of few developed nations that accepts the notion of firearms in public hands. In theory, the citizenry needs to defend itself. Not a single person at the Aurora, Colo., theater shot back, but the theory will still be defended.
Of course, if Ebert had bothered to check before trying to use this murderous crime for his own anti-Second Amendment purposes, he may have found that no one could have shot back because the theater chain does not allow its customers to carry guns in its theaters.

Denver Protest Shows Incoherence of 'Occupy'

Over this past weekend several hundred conservative bloggers, writers, political operatives, and Tea Patiers got together in Denver, Colorado to attend a conference aimed toward helping these activists be more effective n their efforts. But conservative activism wasn't the only theme on the schedule when the event was crashed by denizens of Occupy Denver who came to protest. What they came to protest was a tad unclear, but isn't that just of a piece with the whole Occupy "movement"?
The event, Blogcon 2011, was organized by Freedom Works and featured seminars on Website SEO, use of Youtube and Facebook, information on which candidates Freedom Works is supporting in the upcoming GOP primaries, panels of bloggers telling their story, and the like.
What it wasn't was attended by Washington's policy makers or catering to the rich and famous! The folks at these events are most assuredly not members of the so-called one percent. They are work-a-day folks that just happen to be interested in conservative ideas. Essentially the participants at Blogcon 2011 were similar to the Occunuts that invaded their event in that they are all citizen activists.
But that didn't stop the Occupiers from attacking Blogcon 2011 hopeful of disrupting the event. Two separate times Occupiers came to Blogcon to yell their empty slogans, chant their prosaic chants, ply their "mic check" silliness, call names, threaten violence, and in general act like children.

Coke Heads Protest Koch Heads at Blogcon 2011

Well, here we are we conservative bloggers gathered together at Blogcon 2011 (sponsored by Freedom Works) in downtown Denver, Colorado and what do we find? You guessed it, the Occupy-Whatevers, ever present Guy Fawkes masks in hand, came to disrupt our little conference.
Just after 3PM the Occupiers tried to Occupy Blogcon yelling out epithets at their favorite boogiemen, the Koch Brothers (pronounced coke, like the famous American soft drink). Of course no one at this conference is funded by the Koch Brothers, but, hey, let's not ruin a good chant.
Small handful of Occupy protesters disrupt conservative conference
The Occupiers infested the lobby here at the Crowne Plaza and immediately raised a ruckus. It seemed that the protesters numbered somewhere about 30 or so and were heavily outnumbered by the conservative bloggers huddling around them with cameras and microphones to record their theatrics for prosperity.
Some of these young people were brought by a Denver school teacher who was ashamed to tell us her name.

The race's runners squirm and snort at the starting line. Ham Bone, Miss Piggy, and Pork Chop may just be piglets, but in the course of one fall season at Dan-D Farms, they'll transform into world-class swine sprinters. Approximately every two hours, they'll storm down a 100-yard improvised raceway, complete with a water obstacle. That's right––a water obstacle. "Our pigs," farm owner Debra Kearney confirms, "can swim."
These riotous races are just one part of the lineup of events that overtakes Dan-D Farms each fall. Guests flock to this family-friendly affair to scramble over hay bales, feed wooly sheep, or test their sense of direction in one of two hay mazes. Each year for their maze, Debra and her family––including dad, Dan––devise a new design, but try to stick to things that are Iowa related. Past mazes have included the image of iconic Iowans such as native son John Wayne, and the ISU Cyclones and Iowa Hawkeyes mascots, as well as a reproduction of the American Gothic painting by Anamosa, Iowa–native Grant Wood. Each June, they begin marking the design into the 20-acre field, painting and flagging rows like boxes on grid paper, and then cut out the tunnels before the corn grows knee-high or develops the ability to cry. While this intricate, artistic design requires huge amounts of time and labor, less energy is spent carving out the separate haunted corn maze, where the fear-factor relies on simple twists and turns, instead of fancy effects or animatronics. "It's really not too hard," Debra says, "to scare people in a dark, dusty corn field."
Pro Fitness is a sprawling athletic facility, with rows of professional exercise equipment, racks of free weights, and a private cardio theater. Within workout studios, certified trainers lead an array of group fitness classes, including yoga, Zumba, and boot camp. The instructors also offer personal-training sessions, tailoring workouts to accommodate each client's unique abilities and goals.
Open for just one month every autumn, The Pumpkin Ranch in Winterset, Iowa seems more like a scene from a child?s dream than a family-run business. But that?s the way the Handsaker family planned it, hoping to create a family-friendly hub that celebrated their love of all things autumn. Now hey began by cultivating their 9-acre cornfield into a complex maze, incorporating 12 checkpoints that make sure guests are on the right path and offer clues to the ranch?s Farm Scene Investigation mystery. Alongside the maze, the Handsakers have built up a 10-acre patch of pumpkins and gourds, where squashy specimens wait to be carved into jack-o?-lanterns or stomped into wine.
Now celebrating five years, the Handsakers have added even more activities to the The Pumpkin Ranch, including a 30?x40? jump pillow and 30-foot slides. The hayrack ride transports guests to and fro on the ranch, speeding up walks so guests can spend more time reveling in the play zone?s bounce houses, climbable straw bales, and tire towers. There's even a special area for toddlers. For more exhilarating pastimes, the ranch offers exhilarating zipline courses and fire pits to warm up chilly fall afternoons. Inside the concession stand, staffers sell steamy cups of specialty ciders and hot chocolate alongside homemade baked goods, giving guests a taste of fall, and outside, a concession stand serves up larger bites such as grilled and smoked meat to fuel the outdoor fun.
The Pumpkin Ranch is open Fridays?Sundays from September 26?October 26, 2014 and keeps an up-to-date list of the times they'll be offering activities, including horseback riding, face painting, and free professional photography.

Foundation Nears Capital Campaign Goal Thursday, 22 April 2010 This campaign has been lead by 32 individuals, many of whom have a tie to agriculture. "The option of giving gifts and pledges of cash and/or grain were well received. We are pleased with the generous support St. Anthony has received from the community and we look forward to surpassing our campaign goal in the next few weeks." said Gary Riedmann, St. Anthony President. "We invited people to participate in this campaign who are sometimes overlooked as potential donors; those who are able to donate corn, beans, or other commodities. Assets such as these make great charitable gifts. We are excited with all the contributions made to better St. Anthony's." The $4 million project addressed increased usage, and concerns for the security and privacy of patients, families and staff. The Emergency Department expansion project increased space for trauma treatment and addressed concerns for patient, family and staff privacy and security issues. "Agriculture and healthcare have a lot in common. Both are the bedrock of a community. When farmers do well, we all do well. And when health care is strong, we're all strong. It's a win-win when we all pull together and work together," said Trish Roberts, Foundation Director. The Foundation has worked closely with all area elevators and grain-receiving centers and these facilities make transfer of ownership easy, while the farmer maintains use of the grain for proven yields. For more information or to support the project, please contact Gary Riedmann, St. Anthony President, or Trish Roberts, St. Anthony Development Director at (712) 794-5223. |

Alright President Obama, I've been with you so far. But Obama's FTC plan to reinvent America's new media is obnoxious. Government should not be involved with the news media. Period. The press is the unofficial fourth branch of government. Its responsiblity is to be a watch dog for the public, not incorporate the political agenda of rich, pretentious Senators. If we want to "reinvent" journalism we need to look to new technology. We need to impliment new, creative ideas to enthrall a younger audience and keep newspapers alive. Check out the NYT iPad App. This is a perfect example of growth.

Panel recommends pardon in health care fraud case A state panel is recommending that Gov. Jack Markell grant a pardon to a man convicted of health care fraud several years ago. Sachin Karnik pleaded guilty to felony fraud involving false Medicaid claims in 2006. He was sentenced to probation and ordered to pay more than $60,000 restitution. Karnik, who now works for the Delaware Council on Gambling Problems, appeared Thursday before the state Board of Pardons. The board voted 3-to-1 to recommend that Markell grant Karnik a pardon, while recognizing the seriousness of his crimes. Karnik, who was a licensed clinical social worker, said Thursday that the fraudulent Medicaid claims were an attempt to cover losses from his addiction to roulette. He is hoping that a pardon will expand his opportunities to help others struggling with addiction. |

Today we went looking for tiles for our house. We really liked one that is rectified porcelain (polished) 24x24 tiles.
We are leaning away from ceramic tiles and don't want laminate flooring either. We are tiling the whole house except the bathrooms. Anyone have porcelain? Does it scratch easily? What about cleaning & maintaining? |
Follow-Up Postings:

Porcelain is ceramic. It has to meet certain absorbancy levels to be called porcelain and is much harder and denser than normal ceramic. Shouldn't easily scratch at all and is easy to maintain. High polish can be bad though in areas that normally get wet, but is one of the best longest lasting choices around ( as long as it's installed correctly). Cleaning: sweep up dirt, wet mop spills. Neutral based cleaner is reccomended now and then. No vinegar, or soap needed. Look into the better premium grouts for a longer better lasting look. e.g. TEC XT, Laticrete permacolor or Spectralok grouts, etc.... |
I just went through the tile selection process. I went with porcelain because it is durable and low maintenance. I did "fall in love" with travertine tile in a versaille or French pattern. A pattern using 5 or more different sizes. I realized that I loved the pattern and not the travertine. I searched for porcelain tiles that came in various sizes that would allow for the pattern. I ended up selecting a tile manufactured by Monocibec, style is Graal. I chose the color Arras. On their website you can download a pdf with nice photos that have closeups of the pattern. If you search in the Kitchen or bath Forum there is someone who also used this same tile. My hardwood guy came by and looked at the tile. He thought it was Travertine and went back into the house for a second look! Tile guys have been working here for 4 days and probably have a few more to go. I'm ready to get my house back! |

If you have been installed porcelain tiles , Just remember this to prevent a problem from cleaning.. * Do not allow people to walk with dirty shoes on porcelain tiles. * Sweep your floor with a broom or vacuum it, at least twice a week. * Never use a bleach or ammonia based cleaners on porcelain tiles, as they tend to discolor the tiles. * Mix 1/4th cup vinegar in two gallons of water and use this solution to clean the flooring. It instantly cleans the tiles and gets rid of undesirable odors. |
I have porcelain tiles in a bathroom, an entry, and the laundry. The grout is sealed. I forget what the surface number is, but they are ADA acceptable. Cleaning is ok, but it's still cleaning. If you get rectified tile (which I have and really like the look), make sure the installer knows what he/she is doing. My installer wasn't too good. The tiles are not perfectly level with each other, leaving a slight edge that isn't covered with grout. Result=sharp edges. |
Anyone have porcelain? Does it scratch easily? What about cleaning & maintaining? 1/ Everyone has porcelain. Nobody has the opposite. On floors. 2/ Porcelain is hard. No it does not scratch easily. The PEI rating of the glaze tells you a lot. 3/ cleaning + maintaininf it easier than or the same as for anything else. I use a steamer. A little bleach+water too. Hth |
We have polished porcelain (12x12) in the kitchen. Love it. I'm pretty sure it's bullet proof. Well, maybe not, but we can't damage it as much as we've tried. It's orion negro porcelain tile from Home Depot (free shipping!) and because of it's slight speckle, we don't clean it very often. Maybe when the dog smudges it with her nose/tongue. We sealed the tile prior to grouting, but haven't sealed the grout yet. We only clean it occasionally with the vacuum & switfter mop. |
Thanks everyone for the information. We've narrowed it down to 24x24 glazed Rectified Porcelain. I prefer the matte but my husband likes the glazed for the elegancy. Still have yet to see if I can convince him otherwise. Our guy is going to install it using 1/16 instead of 1/8. |
We have over 1400 square feet of porcelain tile in the house. I had carpet, some engineered wood and slate in these areas. I think it is 18 X 18 in size, but it is rectified. We went with a 1/8 inch grout. I love it. It is super easy to clean, doesn't show dirt, and looks great. I have had more than one person think that it is travertine. Susie |
1/16th is perfect for rectified. Wider would be an insult to the material! Good choice. |

Especially if you are using 24 x 24 tile, make sure your sub floor is properly prepared and your span supports meet the deflecto tests. Also, I second canishel - make SURE your installer is experienced with rectified, large format tiles. Mine has been in business over 20 years, was highly recommended by the tile stores, and claimed to have commerical experience, BUT my tiles are not flat either and have visible "lippage". My installer says it is impossible to get the tile perfect with large format tiles and 1/16 grout lines but I think thats a cop-out. There is a system mentioned on the John Bridge tile forum that is supposed to minimze this problem. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Deflecto
Probably the Tuscan Floor System. |

I just got porcelein tile in my kitchen, foyer, bathroom and laundry room downstairs. The installer wasnt v good. couldnt level the whole thing. Had to redo few places. But with the diagonal layout, it looks beautiful already. The installer told me that I can not vacuum the tile floor b/c the plastic wheels (bottom of the vac cleaner) will scratch p.tile. I just bought a light weight Shark Vac n Steam for this floor. Have you used it for p. tile? does it scratch? I see the plastic wheels at the bottom. How does swiffer work for sweeping the tile. I have a big tile area. Would it work? |

I seriously doubt that "plastic" wheels are going to damage this material. Try scratching a scrap with a screwdriver and you'll see what I mean. Porcelean is one of the hardest floors you can buy. Tile doesn't care about "level," it cares about "Flat." With a 24" tile, I wouldn't want more than 1/8" deviation over 10 ft. THe aforementioned Tuscan Leveling System goes a long way to achieve a lippage-free floor. There is a link to them at the TileYourWorld site. You can search there for threads on the subject if you wanna learn more. |

I'm sorry, did you just say "real zombie invasion"? WoW is a game, something most of us enjoy as an escape. World events add flavor, but when the game is essentially unplayable it goes too far. And when a game mechanic gives morons the ability to ruin it for the rest of us, that's unacceptable.

KLRU Selected to Support Early Learning with New Digital Content
KLRU and four other public television stations will train teachers and families to use educational content developed through the Ready To Learn Initiative
KLRU is one of five stations partnering with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and PBS KIDS to provide educational multimedia content to low-income communities. The station will receive $109,318 from CPB to test the effectiveness of digital content developed through Ready To Learn (RTL), a cooperative agreement funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Innovation and Improvement, to test the effectiveness of digital content developed through the program in supporting the development of early math and literacy skills for children ages 2-8 in low-income families.
Over the next year, KLRU will provide RTL content and resources at two sites in the community: SafePlace, which provides residential services to victims of family violence, and Foundation Communities, which offers housing and family-centered educational services to low-income families. The station will train highly qualified educators/education service providers to use RTL content so they can support the children and families who use the facilities at SafePlace and Foundation Communities. Through family-focused community events, KLRU will also demonstrate RTL to other community educators/education service providers, children, and parents/caregivers in the Austin area.
"The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has set the standard for investment in the future of our young learners," said Bill Stotesbery, KLRU CEO and General Manager. "Through initiatives such as this CPB is continuing its leadership into the digital world, and KLRU is proud to be at the forefront of this technology. We're excited to get to partner with SafePlace and Foundation Communities but also to provide these tools for learning to our entire community."

180 Days takes viewers on a uniquely intimate journey through a year in the lives of students, teachers and school leaders in one Washington, DC public high school. The series is framed by volatile national and local politics aimed at reforming this most fundamental of public institutions, but the lives at the center of "180 Days," most especially those of the five students whose stories take the viewer from the day 1 to day 180, seem at once deeply impacted by and yet profoundly separate from the "Race to the Top."

Those working in administrative professions often hear how concrete skills are a must for success. You need your Certified Administrative Professional certification and your Microsoft Office Suite certification. These are necessary, but they are not enough.
There area new ways to change your thinking to get more done in less time without being exhausted, depleted and overwhelmed. You can be a stellar employee and still go home and be cheerful in your non-work environment. You can experience more meaning and impact in this amazing life.
When we think the thought there's not enough time, we trigger a fight or flight response. It's a gift to warn us when we're in danger. It allows us to react without thinking, which is great when you're in actual danger.

It's a AAA banana, one with 3 copies of the Acuminata genome-that's as much ans anyone can tell from the pictures. The AAA most commonly encountered is Dwarf Cavendish. |

So, how awesome was the successful landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars last night? As incredible as it was to watch space exploration happening live, we must admit we were a bit distracted–along with the rest of the nation–by a certain technician in the control room with a mohawk and immaculate bone structure. Turns out his name is Bobak Ferdowsi, and he's the Flight Director on the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity mission. Yesterday, he was a relatively unknown NASA employee; today he's America's dreamboat. So let's get to know Mr. Ferdowsi a bit better, shall we? After the jump, five Mohawk Guy facts you should know… Keep reading »

(IAA photo) |
The article does not state whether these expert numismatists examined the coin in hand or whether they merely worked from a copy of the IAA photo that was published along with the article. One might presume in this day and age of high definition photography and electronic transmission that the latter could well have been the case. The article photo is credited to Clara Amit, IAA photography department. The expert commentary quoted in this cited media report deals mainly with general historical background, coin circulation and trade patterns.
Having photographed literally tens of thousands of ancient coins in my 50 years as a professional numismatist, and stitched together twice that number of images, it doesn't take a monumental change in content for me to sense that something may be out of place. It's a survival instinct of sorts, because collectors tend to get a little miffed (and rightfully so) if the coin they receive in the mail is not the exact coin pictured in a sale. When I saw the IAA image in this article that instinct raised a red flag. Something seemed wrong.
Upon closer examination, one will note that the obverse appears to be pierced in the lower left field but there is no corresponding hole nor sign of even partial penetration on the reverse. Copying the reverse image, inverting it, reducing the opacity, and placing it over the obverse image one can see immediately that the obverse and reverse are different sizes. That in itself might simply be a case of the separate obverse and reverse photos not being sized correctly, but rotating the overlay image reveals that the two images are not of the same shape either. One might therefore be inclined to conclude that either the obverse and reverse photos are of two different coins or that there has been some alteration of the images—something that would not be expected from professional archaeologists. Another small but confusing aspect of the dissimilar obverse and reverse illustrations is the appearance of the metal itself. While the obverse seems to have relatively good surfaces and the look of good metal, the reverse is quite different. It has a crystalline appearance, corrosion and coarse encrustations. This again might suggest either two different coins or possibly soil variations within the context of the find. The closely matching color might argue for veracity, but could also be an indicator of obverse and reverse from two different coins found in the same context. Granted, these are all elements of circumstantial evidence. In any event, there are some perplexing questions raised here that are worth asking about a coin of this importance.
Hopefully another photo will appear in the press that eliminates any possible doubt. Or, maybe one of our readers has actually seen the specimen cited and can confirm that the published image is representative. Meanwhile, that red flag is still there.

Fred and Wilma - 'The Keys' to 'The World' - Day 9
Monday 20th August Orlando at last!
Hurrah! Today we are off to Orlando! Although I absolutely loved the first part of the trip, today I feel like we are going home (and not in that horrible, sinking way when you really are going home but in a Woohoo, lets get this party started kind of way). When I looked out of the window, it had finally stopped raining and the sky had that beautiful, fresh blue look which comes only after a heavy storm. It was shaping up to be a b-e-a-yoo-tiful day. As we didnt have to check out until 11am and were in no real hurry to get to Orlando, we decided to take a full circuit tour on the trolley. First, though, breakfast! We headed straight for the Bunnery Bakery and Café again, where we each had a drink and a breakfast item. I was craving bacon and eggs but, knowing what we had in store for lunch, I restrained myself and settled for a delicious cinnamon roll instead. Daniel chose the same, accompanied by his staple breakfast drink of chocolate milk, and Gary opted for a pecan sticky bun. He loves pecans so will normally take any opportunity to indulge while we are in Florida. A trio of tastiness All was delicious and reasonable at $15 including tip (to note this is not a table-service eatery but the staff were so friendly, we just put the change in a jar at the counter, specifically for tips). We left the bakery and wandered to the nearest trolley stop, where we waited a short time for the next trolley. Beautiful St George Street It was already incredibly hot and Daniel was goofing around, having spent too much time cooped up the previous day, obviously. I was keen for him to let off any excess steam before we had to spend the next 3 hours in the car with him. Hyperactive, moi? Our trolley driver was called Bradley and he was an absolute nutter, keeping us in stitches with his witty repartee as we took the tour. At Stop 1 (the beginning of the tour), the drivers switch over and we gave Bradley a tip for keeping us so well entertained. Our new driver was equally friendly, if not quite as funny. Since we were the only ones on the trolley, though, she spent a fair bit of time chatting with us and made some recommendations for places to visit we didnt have the heart to tell her we were leaving in a couple of hours. Beautiful St Augustine architecture The most beautiful street in St Augustine We departed the trolley at the Authentic Old Drugstore Wow, this building's older than my Dad I tried to persuade Gary to kiss me under the love tree - legend has it that, if you kiss your true love under this tree, you will b etogether forever. As the trolley driver put it "Forever is a long time so be careful who you kiss under this tree". Clearly, Gary was concerned about just how long he might be stuck with me as he refused We had a last wander down St George Street. I bought a cute little teddy from Whetstones (the chocolatier) when you press its hand, he says I loooove chocolate. Daniel decided he just had to have some ice-cream and, since it was so hot, we conceded. He chose Birthday Cake flavour, which was quite nice but a little sweet for my tastes. Non-Birthday Birthday Cake Ice-Cream Back at the Hilton, we collected all our bags and went down to the valet desk to get the car brought up. One thing I hadnt mentioned previously is that there is no self-parking at the Hilton and a charge of $21 per day is added to your room account, for valet services, if you have a car. Since there are no other real parking facilities nearby, there is little other option if you have a car. We had known about this in advance and, to be honest, it didnt bother me. Other hotels (such as the Universal onsite hotels) charge similar amounts for self parking and, personally, if I have to pay, I would much rather have the convenience of valet. All in all, we really enjoyed the hotel. It is in a very convenient location, right in the centre of the historic district and within easy walking distance of most of the major attractions. Once the car was loaded up, we set off. It was just before 11 and we had decided to take the straightforward route down the I-95, rather than the more scenic coastal (A1A) drive. I did manage to get a picture of the Daytona Beach sign at the side of the road though - for some reason, I have been obsessed with trying to get a picture of this since our first visit to St Augustine 3 years before. Daytona Beach Thanks to a recommendation from our friend, Debbie (UKDEB), we had already decided to stop for lunch at 4Rivers Smokehouse. When we got there, we discovered they had moved (I had noted the address long before we left home and hadnt thought to double check). It was easy to find, though, just a couple of blocks away on the other side of the street in much bigger premises. The sign of a good eating place It was a little confusing, at first, to work out where we needed to be as there are a couple of seating areas (one inside, one outside) and the area where you order and collect your food is in a completely different room. There was quite a long line, stretching right through the order/collection area and out the door. This place is obviously very popular. Another sign of a good eating place The line moved quickly, though, and we didnt have too long outside in the heat, which was a good thing since the temperature gauge showed just how hot it really was today Its getting hot out there We were served quite quickly, although we did change our mind about what to have several times before we got to the front of the line. In the end, we settled for the pulled pork sandwich with beans and fries and the burnt ends sandwich with cornbread and fries. We also got a massive slice of birthday cake, which looked so amazing, I couldnt possibly resist. Piggy in a bun More piggy in a bun We shared the food between the three of us and, to be honest, it was plenty. If we went again, the only thing I would do is probably get a platter rather than sandwich as you seemed to get a lot more meat. The burnt ends were delicious crispy and blackened and juicy and so tasty. As for the cake, it was incredible. Luckily for me and Daniel, Gary is not a big fan of cake so, after one mouthful, hed had enough. The cake itself was light and fluffy and the frosting was thick, creamy and so sweet. I am drooling now, just thinking about it. Non-Birthday Birthday Cake Back in the car, we drove the short distance to Universal, arriving at the Royal Pacific Resort just before 3 oclock. Gary and Daniel waited outside with the car while I went to check in. I asked about a paid upgrade to club level but they only had king rooms available and at a cost of $100 per night, which was definitely not worth it for us. Check-in was quick and easy and, within a few minutes, I had our keys and was helping Gary unload the cases from the car. We brought all the luggage in to the lobby, where Daniel and I (and Dogster) waited while Gary went to park up. Daniel and Dogster waiting patiently We were allocated room 2612, a 6th floor room in Tower 2. At first, I was disappointed about being in Tower 2 as Id read that it was furthest away from all the facilities and I also knew it was the pet-friendly tower. However, when we got to our room, I soon perked up. We had a great view! To the left Straight ahead (with zoom) From our room, we had great views of both Universal and Islands of Adventure. I couldnt have been happier. And, in actual fact, it really didnt feel like we were much further away than when wed stayed in Tower 1. Admittedly, it was a longer walk to the boat dock and the pool area but not so much that it bothered us. Since we had arranged a mini DIS meet at 6, we decided to just chill out in the room and unpack. After unpacking, we showered and changed and, just before 6, we headed down to Jakes Bar, where we were meeting Zoe (zippy99) and Sharon (stephensmum) and their respective families. Zoe and her DS, Tommy, were there when we arrived and we spotted each other straight away. We got a couple of drinks and settled down at the bar, while Daniel and Tommy headed off to the arcade. Pacific Paradise After some initial problems trying to buy game cards, the boys were soon happily ensconced and we didnt see them for much of the evening. Soon, we were joined by Sharon, her husband Norman and son, Stephen (obviously). DISers We were soon chatting away about our trips, the hotel and various other subjects. At one point, Daniel and Tommy returned clutching several small bouncy balls which they had won in the arcade. We took a few pictures (keeping some poor, unsuspecting Brit from his meal while we requested lots of various poses with different cameras), then Zoe and Tommy headed off up to their room as none of them had eaten. More DISers Some kind of cocktail The rest of the evening is a bit of a blur, Im afraid (I blame the generous pouring hand of the bartender) but I do know that the rest of us were still in the bar until almost 11. After a quick trip to the arcade with Stephen, Daniel had gone back to the room earlier and, after we settled our tab ($135 inc tip ), we made our way back to the room too, where we found Daniel in bed, watching TV and eating crisps. Not long afterwards, we were all sound asleep but not before setting the alarm for 6.30am. Yes, boys and girls, laid-back, go-with-the-flow Joh is no longer. Commando Joh is back and ready to take Orlandos theme parks by storm.

There are three different locations Tone. We went to the one in Winter Park, just off the I4 and easy to find.

Suddenly those cinnamon rolls are looking a bit sorry for themselves next to that pecan bun! Yum, yum!
St Augustine really is lovely. Very colonial. I had read that 4 Rivers had relocated (obviously forgot to tell you, though ). It looks a lot more upmarket than its predecessor - another sign of a good eating place, I guess - although, in some ways, that's a bit disappointing (its rusticity was part of the charm). We've spent some happy times in Jake's Bar. It's been a while since we were there and seeing your photos has me yearning for a stay at RPR. "Some kind of cocktail"? "SOME KIND OF COCKTAIL"? Oh c'mon woman! Are you deliberately trying to torment me? Quote:

I'll have a look at the receipt and see if I can figure out what it was. I do know that I didn't enjoy it very much - despite it's fruity appearance, it wasn't my cup of tea (or glass of alcohol) - and went back to drinking the Paicifc Paradise again after that one.

Great update Joh!
I'm really considering a day trip to St Augustine; would you think it's too far to go there early morning (from Orlando) and then drive back in the evening Having just driven so much on our R66 trip it seems like a doddle We loved the Royal Pacific Resort when we stayed there a couple of years ago; excellent view from your room

So sorry, Tracy, you are quite right - they were Lays so they were potato chips and not crisps

Hi there Joh! I must admit what a dunce I have been checking back on your various posts for your TR when I finally realized that each review is a stand alone review of your day. Ok, I'm caught up now and see that you are now IN Orlando. And the view from your room is definitely a keeper.

Career with Bulls: 78 GP (11 starts), 11.3 MPG, 3.8 PPG, 44.6 FG%, 30.9 3PT%, 68.7 FT%, 1.9 RPG, 0.8 APG, 0.4 SPG, 0.7 BPG
Season with Raptors: 25 GP (25 starts), 28 MPG, 9.2 PPG, 46.4 FG%, 24 3PT%, 70.7 FT%, 4.7 RPG, 3 APG, 1 SPG, 1.1 BPG
James Johnson was a bit of a wild card when the Bulls selected him 16th overall in the 2009 NBA Draft, but the forward out of Wake Forest was still expected to make an impact in the NBA.
Unfortunately for James, he was limited to just 11 minutes per game in his rookie season for an average Bulls team that was quickly disposed of in the first round of the playoffs by LeBron's Cavaliers. He played in 19 total minutes in that series. If he thought he would be given an opportunity with the Bulls in year two, he was wrong again, as Chicago used him less than 10 minutes per game in just 13 games played.
The Bulls were enjoying a great season, but Johnson was sent to play with the Iowa Energy of the NBA Development League. Various things were said about Johnson – he wasn't in good enough shape or committed enough to stick in the NBA.
Then, in February, the Raptors traded Miami's 2011 first round pick to the Bulls for the little used Johnson. At the time, going by only what I was reading, I stated that even though this year's draft class looked weak, I still would have preferred to take a chance on a late first round pick than take a chance on James Johnson.
Did James ever prove me wrong! And he convinced me I was wrong on his first night in a Raptors uniform.
Johnson provided a spark for the Raptors in his first game with the team, as the Raps upset Johnson's former team, the Bulls, with James chipping in nine points, five rebounds and three blocks. He would go on to start every game he played in for the Raptors this season, providing a balance at the small forward position that the Raptors hadn't had in a while.
Sometimes, he may have tried to do a little too much on his own, but for the most part, Johnson played within himself and stuck to his role. He put in an honest effort on the defensive end, rebounded the ball and usually just let his offence come to him. He was very stable in all facets of the game and usually finished with a balanced stat-line across the board. Heck, he was even a legitimate triple-double threat on some nights.
There's no doubt that Johnson laid the foundation of establishing himself as an all-around basketball player, but can he improve on that going forward and build something on that foundation? He seems to be able to do everything on the basketball court reasonably well, but the question then becomes, does he do one thing great enough to become an impact player in the NBA?
That's the question that James Johnson will have to answer when the next NBA season begins, whether he is in Toronto at that time or elsewhere.
Given the fact that he's only 24 years old and did show us something over a decent size sample this season, I'm hoping the Raptors hang on to Johnson's $1.8 million salary next season.
I'm not sure that James Johnson is ever going to be the starting small forward on a championship caliber team, but I am confident that he can be a valuable asset for a young team moving forward. Like so many of the Raptors' youngsters, next season is going to dictate a career path for Johnson.
Scott Carefoot's take on James Johnson: Most Raptors fans seem convinced that Johnson isn't a starting-caliber forward in this league, but I'm not sure I agree. Every team needs a player to guard the LeBrons and Durants of this league, and Johnson could fill that role more than adequately for the Raptors. He's got a seven-foot wingspan and excellent shot-blocking ability — he was the only Raptor to average at least one steal and one block per game and he did it while averaging just 28 minutes. He definitely needs to improve his jumpshot, but he made seven of his 16 three-point attempts from the corners so that might prove be his "specialty area" on offense if he continues to play 30 minutes per game next season.
