"Around the world and back again" might be the best phrase to describe the award-winning Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble. After a busy concert season, the group returns to TTU's Wattenbarger Auditorium in the Bryan Fine Arts Building on April 16 for an 8 p.m. concert.The TTTE pioneered tuba chamber music, and the student ensemble — under the direction of TTU music professor R. Winston Morris — this year won a prestigious Academic Excellence and Quality Award from the Tennessee Board of Regents.
The TBR is the nation's sixth largest higher education system in the nation, and the award is given to highlight campus initiatives for excellence within the system. Of the 15 TBR Academic Excellence and Quality Awards given to date, the TTTE is the first performing music ensemble to ever receive the distinction.
Praised by professional tuba and euphonium players, music educators and professional critics alike, the ensemble presents a distinctive sound, and numerous composers have written pieces specifically for the TTTE.
The group is the only ensemble of its kind to perform at Carnegie Hall, and it's made an unprecedented six appearances at the New York venue. The TTTE has also performed at New Orleans' famed Preservation Hall, the Smithsonian Institute and Walt Disney World.
Works that will be featured at the TTU concert include "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss, "Petits Litanies de Jesus" by Gabriel Grovlez, "Andante and Hungarian Rondo" by Carl Maria v. Weber, "Londonderry Air," featuring Bryce Edwards as a guest euphonium soloist, and "Groove," an original composition by the TTTE's own Jesse Chavez.
The concert is free and open to the public.

+1It is very simular to what I want to do. GET RID of the Corporate tax code all together and implace the personal tax code with no dependants deduction no interest deduction for personal property or homes for anyone. OVERALL the tax rate for everyone would be lower. Every CITIZEN (since Citizens United makes corporations citizens) tax them at the same rate as the regular guy.
:) I figure the effective rate would drop to about 16-18%. across the board. - +1Well you know my position on the monetary system, however, as long as we're going to continue having this cancerous system, you proposal make sense, I like it. I would go further, and either get rid of corporations all together, or start enforcing the sheets of paper called laws in the legal system of the federal governments, and the individual states that do enable the government to SHUT A CORPORATION DOWN if it's not performing a public good, you can remove a corporation's charter, putting it out of business, and corporations SHOULD NOT have rights of real people, individuals in charge of corporations, CEOs, executives, should be subject to CRIMINAL prosecution just as an individual is, my punishment would not be putting them in a concentration camp, I am against those, I am for shutting those down, put them on a desert island, and let them fend for themselves.
+1OH don't get me wrong Corporation must not have the leagal standing of individuals, but under Citizens United SCOTUS decision they do, so they are no longer corporations but individuals and as such corporate tax codes no longer apply. Hence, equipment depreciation, investment credits etc all this extra stuff that they get to deduct before taxes no longer applies and they will have to pay just like anyone else.
+1You miss interpert what I was trying to say. That is the way my theory of what should be happening to the tax code. That is NOT what is really happening.
Oh too. one of the neat things is that an individual is limited. look under campaign finance law.
Hence it is my theory that corportions, pacs, superpacs are all to be held to the same restrictions.

+1My first car wasn't a race car but it was fast! It was a '68 Olds Regency 4dr that I bought from my uncle. Well maintained, loaded and the old Rocket 455. The cruise control was a dial on the dashboard. We thought gas prices were rediculous then. They just don't make 'em like that any more, do they? Got no tickets, would have gotten my butt kicked.

How 529 plans can help you face those dreaded college bills
The economy is weak. Unemployment is high. And with universities projecting price increases of 10 percent or more per year, just the thought of your child's future college bills is enough to make your head spin. According to recent articles, the average state college bill is now approaching $40,000 for a four- to five-year degree. And that same $40,000 is about the average for just one year at the top private universities. Ouch!
But don't send those kids off to bartending school just yet. 529 plans, if you haven't heard of them, offer some great tax incentives and even ways to collect 'free money' to save for your children's higher education.
What are 529 plans?
A 529 is a state-managed college savings account with benefits – really great benefits. Congress originally created 529 plans in 1996. And in 2006 when they made the tax benefits permanent, 529s became a no-brainer investment for any family that has college plans in their future.
There are two types of 529s: savings plans and prepaid tuitions plans. The first type, a prepaid tuition 529, lets you to (you guessed it) prepay tuition now. While the plans vary a bit from state to state, in general if you pay for half a year's tuition now, you're basically paid up for half a year's tuition that can be used in the future – even 20 years from now. This effectively allows you to "lock in" at today's tuition rates. And with college costs increasing 10 percent or more per year these days, that's a bargain any way you look at it.
The second type is called a 529 savings plan, and it's simply an investment account. Each state offers different investment options – the same kind you'd find at Vanguard, Bank of America and other financial institutions. Opening a new 529 is about as easy as setting up a savings account at your local bank – and many require as little as a $250 deposit to get started.
[Check Your Credit: Don't Guess. Know.® Get your free credit report and score. No credit card required.
So what's the big deal about 529s?
Here are the best reasons to open and regularly contribute to a 529 account:
Your own little tax haven – A 529 savings plan allows you to take tax-free distributions on investment earnings used for education-related expenses (room, board, books, tuition, etc.).
Here's a quick example: say your $10,000 investment in a 529 savings plan earns an average of 5 percent per year for 10 years. That's about $6,300 in earnings. You can withdraw that $6,300, tax-free, for qualified educational expenses. If you would've made that same investment in a normal (non-529) account, you'd have to fork over a portion of those earnings in the form of capital gains taxes. This 'tax haven' status is the most attractive, moneywise benefit of 529 accounts. Also, if you live in one of the 35 states that allows credits for 529 contributions, you may qualify for a state income tax deduction. Starting to see why these plans are great?
You don't have to kiss that scholarship goodbye – Just because your kid has a well-funded 529 account will not disqualify them from scholarship or financial aid opportunities. 529 accounts are considered parental assets (not the beneficiaries') and are assessed at a maximum of 5.64 percent rate, which means your child's financial aid qualification will only be impacted by a maximum of 5.64 percent of the total balance of the 529 account.
Lots of choices – Your plan choices aren't limited to your state of residence (although if you do get a state income tax deduction incentive, it may make financial sense to stick with your home state plan options). For example, I live in Texas but my kids' 529 plans are with the state of Nevada (managed by Vanguard). When I comparison shopped, the Nevada plan best matched what I was looking for in terms of investment options and flexibility. And since I don't have to worry about state income tax (Texas doesn't have one, yee-haw!), my choice was clear. You can compare plans for each state here.
Also, 529 plans are portable, so if you have an account sponsored by the state of Nevada or Oklahoma or Delaware, it doesn't mean your child has to attend a university in that particular state.
Did someone say free money? – There are lots of rewards programs – like Upromise and others – that allow you to earn rebates on credit card purchases that can be deposited into your 529 account. You can earn as much as 2 percent on purchases with some cards and several have no caps on the rebate levels. That's free money, and we definitely like that!
OK, so what's the downside?
We all know nothing's perfect, and 529s are no exception. First, your investment options are limited to what a state's program has to offer. That said, though, there are so many programs nowadays that this is less of an issue than it was in the past.
Another possible downside is that if you withdraw funds from the account for any reason other than approved education-related expenses (also called 'non-qualified distributions'), you face a 10 percent withdrawal penalty. Non-qualified distributions are also taxed like any other non-529 investment – meaning you don't get the tax-exemption on the gains. Note, however, that there are some allowable exceptions to the 10 percent penalty, like death of the beneficiary or if your child gets a scholarship and no longer needs the funds.
Those are the main disadvantages, and in my opinion they're not even close to deal breakers – the pros absolutely outweigh the cons.
When it comes to your children's education, it's hard not to get a knot in your stomach thinking about those huge college bills that will be coming your way someday. But with a little homework and planning, taking advantage of the benefits of a 529 account can help you build a solid foundation for your child's future.

LeBron Increased Value of Heat by 17%, Dropped Cavs' by 26%
Categories: Sports, Survey Says
Forbes.com estimates that the Heat is now worth $475 million. Which would make them the 7th most valuable team in the NBA. Forbes took factors like "sport," the market, brand management and the stadium into account.
Here's a list of their top ten:
1. New York KnicksHistorical success and big markets seem to have the biggest impact on a team's ranking, though we're surprised that the Toronto Raptors, the team Bosh escaped, is still in the top 10. The top team, the Knicks, have an estimated value of $655 million, while the Lakers aren't far behind at $653.
2. Los Angeles Lakers
3. Chicago Bulls
4. Boston Celtics
5. Houston Rockets
6. Dallas Mavericks
7. Miami Heat
8. Phoenix Suns
9. San Antonio Spurs
10. Toronto Raptors
LeBron's former team in Cleveland saw their value sink by 26 percent to $366 million, making them the 15th most valuable in the league.
Overall the average NBA franchise saw its value increase by one percent last year, but most are still below the value of their pre-recession high.

Imagine, if you will, a National Football League without the Green Bay Packers. But also envision an NFL with a franchise in another Wisconsin city.
It could have happened.
Had the course of history been altered in the 1920s, it's conceivable that come January, before kickoff for Super Bowl XXXIV, the first Super Bowl of the next millennium, one of those made for the moment, stentorian voices could be echoing throughout the Georgia Dome and households across the world these now alien-sounding words.
"Here are your champions of the National Football Conference, the Milwaukee Badgers . . . or the Racine Legion . . . or the Kenosha Maroons."
In the 1920s, when the NFL was in its infancy, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha all held franchises. In fact, they were all members at the same time in 1924, giving Wisconsin four of the 18 teams. No other state had more.
By 1927, the NFL had dwindled to 12 teams and Green Bay was the lone survivor.
It seems apparent now that Wisconsin couldn't have supported more than one team, but nobody knew that back then. Nor, in the beginning, did anyone give Green Bay any more of a chance of making it than the other three.
"That was a fluke. It really, truly was," said Joe Horrigan, a vice president with the Pro Football Hall of Fame and author of a section in "Total Football," the league's official encyclopedia, on defunct franchises. "No one expected it. It's a story in and of itself.
"I don't know that it was inevitable that just one would survive. But what surprised everybody was which one survived.
"I'm not sure about Kenosha. They seemed doomed from the start. Racine was a little different. Certainly, it should have been as strong as Green Bay. But Milwaukee was the one they really wanted."
The Packers were the first to join the NFL in 1921. Milwaukee and Racine joined the next year. Kenosha entered the league in 1924.
At the time, the population of Green Bay was 31,017, making it the seventh-largest city in Wisconsin. Milwaukee had a population of 457,147, making it the 14th-largest city in the country. Racine, with a population of 58,593, and Kenosha, with a population of 40,472, were the second- and third-largest cities in the state, respectively.
In some way, they all fit into the NFL's scheme for geographic and financial reasons. They were close to Chicago, the centerpiece of the league, and able to ante up an entry fee.
Kenosha didn't last the 1924 season. The Maroons folded after going winless in five games.
Racine finished with the best record of the three Wisconsin franchises in 1922. Sparked by Charlie Dressen, who became better known later on as a baseball manager, the Legion compiled a 6-4-1 record. But after two more seasons of playing virtually .500 ball, the team was forced to fold because of poor attendance. Racine dropped out of the league in 1925, then returned in 1926 as the Tornadoes. Doomed by a disastrous start, they dropped out again after five games, never to return.
Milwaukee managed to hang on for five seasons.
Milwaukee was officially admitted to the NFL on June 26, 1922, four months after it was announced that a team was being formed in the city by Chicago promoters Joe Plunkett and Ambrose McGurk. The initial announcement said the team would be headed by the legendary Jim Thorpe.
Thorpe never coached or played for the Badgers, but the team didn't lack for big-name players.
In the Badgers' first year, the co-head coach and star player for most of the season was Fritz Pollard, one of the game's first African-American stars. Duke Slater and Paul Robeson, two other noted black players of that period, also were members of the team.
They were three of only 13 blacks who played in the NFL before 1946. And, certainly, they were the three most prominent names.
In mid-November, the Badgers also added Bo McMillan, a famous collegiate star at Centre, before a home game against Thorpe's Oorang Indians. McMillan remained with the team the next year, as well.
In 1923 and '24, Jim Conzelman, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, served as player-coach. And Johnny "Blood" McNally, another Hall of Famer, played in 1925 and '26.
The Badgers didn't lack for local talent, either. Red Dunn and Lavie Dilweg, Milwaukee natives who played at Marquette University, each spent a season with the Badgers before going onto stardom with the Packers.
Only once, however, did the Badgers finish above .500. They were 7-2-3 in 1923, tying the Packers for third place. Whereas, the Packers were well organized and well supported, the Badgers were neither.
"Milwaukee has not warmed up to pro football," a Sentinel columnist wrote in 1924. "Professional football has failed to draw in many cities but, on the other hand, it is difficult to understand why crowds of 4,000 should turn out in a city the size of Green Bay, and less than half that number attend as good games in Milwaukee."
With its ownership based in Chicago, the Milwaukee franchise was plagued by mismanagement from the beginning.
In 1922, McGurk and Plunkett called off a game against Rock Island just before kickoff because of heavy rain. The announcement was greeted by boos and catcalls from the 1,500 fans who were sitting in Athletic Park, later named Borchert Field.
No doubt, McGurk and Plunkett determined they could cut their losses on that dismal day if they didn't play. The owners wouldn't have to pay rent or game salaries; and perhaps they carried rain insurance.
That same year, when the Packers were faced with similar weather conditions before a game against Duluth, they went ahead and played.
A.B. Turnbull, general manager of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, promised that he would raise the funds to cover the losses if there was a low turnout. And he carried through on his guarantee, soliciting other businessmen for money to form the Green Bay Football Corporation.
That was how the Packers became the community-owned team they remain today.
McGurk guarded his pocketbook more carefully.
"You had 18 men on the roster," Conzelman was quoted as saying in the book, "When Football Was Football: The Chicago Cardinals and the Birth of the NFL." "One time, in Milwaukee, we had three players injured, so the owner put on a uniform and sat on the bench, just to give us a look of depth."
McGurk was eventually ousted from the league in December 1925 for using four Chicago high school players in a hastily scheduled game against the Chicago Cardinals. The Milwaukee club was fined $500 and ordered to dispose of all its assets.
The Badgers were readmitted to the league under new ownership in July, but their many problems persisted. They finished 2-7 and drew poorly.
On July 16, 1927, Johnny Bryan, who had taken over the ownership, announced he was withdrawing the team from the NFL. The league was trying to weed out teams in smaller cities, at that point, but it was Milwaukee, not Green Bay, that lost its franchise.
"Milwaukee was the city they wanted," said Horrigan. "It was a good city. Players gravitated to it. The league pushed it hard and heavy. They wanted it to succeed. They got scheduled well. It was just not meant to be."
In 1927, Bryan's newly named Milwaukee Eagles, organized as an independent team, played an exhibition game against the Packers, losing, 34-0. In 1929, McGurk resurfaced and applied again for an NFL franchise in Milwaukee.
But when it came time to pay the franchise fee, he backed out.
"Apparently, he still has hopes of running a club in our league on a shoestring, which can't be done," Carr said at the time. "We are probably better off without him."

Closing up the house for the holidays: a checklist

The flights have been booked, the suitcases retrieved from the attic and your vacation itinerary has been set. But while your mind may be ready to wander to a faraway land, don't forget about home sweet home just yet. |

Despite their differences behind closed doors, Obama and Netanyahu are expected to try to project unity. Talks begin in the Oval Office at 11:15 a.m. EDT, ending with statements to a small pool of journalists, followed by a working lunch.
Netanyahu spent Sunday holed up at his New York hotel working on a speech he will deliver at the United Nations on Tuesday while his aides refrained from their usual Sunday television interviews with the Israeli media.
"I will speak the truth. Facts must be stated in the face of the sweet talk and the blitz of smiles," Netanyahu said at the airport in Tel Aviv before departing for the United States.
Obama and Netanyahu have a history of difficult encounters, including a blowup in the Oval Office in 2011 when Netanyahu famously lectured the president on Jewish history.
Iran strategy has strained relations between them before, most notably last year when Netanyahu issued veiled criticism of U.S. pressure on Israel not to launch its own pre-emptive attack on Iran's nuclear sites.
Having secured a second term, Obama visited Israel in March, where he eased a personal rift with Netanyahu and offered reassurances that he was determined to deny Iran the means to make a bomb, something that Tehran denies it is seeking.
But different clocks tick for the two allies. While they agree that Tehran could make its first nuclear device in months if it were intent on doing so, Israel publicly warned last week that this gap could shrink to weeks, thanks to new Iranian uranium centrifuges.
Limited in conventional military clout, Israel - believed to possess the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal - would prefer to see the U.S. superpower lead the way militarily against Iran if diplomacy fails.
Yet Israelis watched worriedly as Obama stumbled in his bid to muster domestic support for attacking Syria in reprisal over Damascus's suspected use of chemical weapons on Aug. 21.
Netanyahu will be looking for proof of Obama's commitment to confront Tehran with what the hawkish Israeli premier calls a "credible military threat." Obama has insisted he is not bluffing, though he has not been as explicit as Netanyahu wants.
However, neither does Netanyahu look any closer to launching a strike on Iran alone, with Israeli public support lacking and questions about whether it would be militarily effective.
In the meantime, Obama's engagement with Iran could be limited by the influence of the pro-Israel lobby in Washington and lawmakers who share Netanyahu's suspicion of Rouhani, a moderate cleric who took office in August. Netanyahu could meet supporters on Capitol Hill as he normally does on U.S. visits.
Seeking to stress common ground between Obama and Netanyahu, U.S. national security adviser Susan Rice told CNN on Sunday the United States, Israel and other allies "have been largely united in agreeing on the process going forward" with Iran.
But she acknowledged that the path was unclear as negotiations with Iran were not yet under way.
Further complicating matters is Obama's reinvigorated push for a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians in talks that restarted earlier this year. Middle East diplomacy is expected to figure more prominently in Monday's meeting than originally thought, after Obama listed it as a top priority in his address to the United Nations on Tuesday.

At the Forge - Ruby on Rails 3
That said, a bunch of little changes will become obvious almost immediately upon starting to work with Rails 3. For starters, Rails no longer has a bunch of different commands in the script directory. Instead, you use the global rails command with a parameter indicating what you want to do. So, to create a new Rails application, you use rails new appname. But, to enter the console, you say rails console or, as a gesture to slow typists, rails c. Similarly, you can use rails generate to create a new controller, model, resource or scaffold (among other things). And, you can use rails dbconsole to open a client connection to the database defined in the current environment.
I must admit, I never had a problem with the old programs in the script directory. At the same time, this means your Rails application directory can be largely empty, because the scripts instead will come from the global Rails installation.
One small but significant change is the way values are displayed in views. In previous versions of Rails, the (default) ERb templating system allowed you to insert values into the resulting HTML as follows:

Welcome back, <%= current_user.name -%>!

The <% %> brackets indicated that Ruby code should be evaluated, and the <%= %> brackets told Rails to insert the resulting value of that evaluation into the rendered HTML. The problem with this approach was that users potentially could enter not only text, but also

Translate this page UPDATE: Marathon organizers provide details of race that will take place and impact roads in Fallbrook on Sat., April 12Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 Issue 14, Volume 18.
FALLBROOK - Law enforcement agencies have confirmed that several road closure signs being distributed to various points in Fallbrook are related to a marathon (running) event scheduled for Sat., April 12. The Village News has not been formally informed of the details of this event from the sponsoring organization. One law enforcement contact said residents were supposed to have flyers distributed in their mail if they were in an area of impact. 71 comments
I just found out I will not be able to leave my house Sat morning to go to an event I had planned to go to over a month ago unless I leave before 6:30. Thanks a lot for the heads up Marathoners! I guess your running on our streets is more important than the plans of all the residents who will be impacted by this.
I'm just wondering where all the runners, friends, and family are supposed to park their vehicle?
For the record, I am all for the marathon - however, I learned on Monday after receiving a flyer in my mailbox that myself & other residents along Reche & the other closed roads will not be able to enter or exit our property unless we have a "back door" access road. I thought it was an April Fools joke.... Imagine how upset I was to learn that in less than 10 days I would have to vacate my property by 6:44AM or else we will be locked in until the conclusion of the race (which per the flyer is expected to be 11:15am), that's half my Saturday! My children have sporting events to get to, a birthday party, and we had already scheduled a contractor to do work on our property that day! The Course Director was applologetic but unsympethic to my situation and said, "your contractor will have to arrive before 6:45am". Really??! Closing Reche, Gird, Stagecoach & Winter Haven and giving residents less than 10 days notice? That's not right!!! The marathon is great for Fallbrook but since 80% of the participants are from Fallbrook how about using roads that don't burden so many residents. And roads that are not MAIN ARTERIES!! And how about giving us more notice!! Or, how about at least giving RESIDENTS who live on these roads access to their homes instead of forcing us out or locking us in- PS. Some of my neighbors didn't get a flyer & if I hadn't told them they still wouldn't know. IMO, very poor handling of this event & I thought Fallbrook was the 'Friendly Village'....?
I'm sorry, but this is just plain crazy!! I'm glad I'm not impacted but I feel sorry for the people that are. What dummy organized this event? Talk about poor planning, control and notification. Wow. Who is enforcing this mess? If the Village News wasn't even informed, was the volunteer patrol? Anyone?
Live on Reche and did not get a flyer! Would it be to much to ask for this to be published? I can see where it would impact others that don't even live on the closed roads. What a mess!
Other races arrange for cars to be grouped/ convoyed by CHP/Sheriff- so that residents/ others are not so inconvenienced. Good luck....
The flyer has three numbers you can call: Vickie Knox - Course Director 760-594-2108 - I spoke with her but she was no help. Pretty much told me I would have to leave my house by 6:30 or wouldn't be able to leave. Also, informed me this was going to be a yearly occurrence with the same route each year. Andrew Patterson - Event Director 760-715-6834 Didn't call me back County of San Diego Special Events Permits 858-694-3862 - called me back but wasn't able to help me either. It's a good idea to call these people however, and let them know you are not happy. Perhaps they will rethink this for next year.
Anyone impacted by the road closures must call ASAP and complain to Robert Fuller, Dept of Public Works Traffic&Engineering. His #858-694-3862. Spread the word!!!
I just want to let you all know that the "dummy" organizing this event is my mother. She has fought for a year to organize this event because of all the xxxx's in Fallbrook including you guys. You have no idea what my family has gone through to pull this together in hopes that we would have the support of Fallbrook. What happened to support? The road is closed for 4 hours people!! Get over it. They close main roads the next day for the avocado festival and none of you seem to have a problem with it. This race is extremely organized and county approved along with many CHP approval. Get your facts straight before you run your mouths. I'm SICK of Fallbrook attacking my mom for trying to bring this town together. Get over yourselves and maybe look at the bigger picture here.
Resident, I called and had the same experience with all 3! Knox said this will continue every year - and evidently, she doesn't care about inconveniencing her fellow Fallbrookians! Mr. Fuller agreed with me that this is unfair and he said that he needs more residents to complain in order to do anything. PS - Fallbrook COC didn't even know about this event when we called them. And when I post anything about how unfair the road closures are on the event's Facebook page, they take it down!! Knox was in charge of gathering the "so called" signatures in order to get the permits. Funny, no one knocked on my door, or the doors of my neighbors and friends! BE SURE TO CALL THE CHP AND FILE A COMPLAINT ALSO! 760-757-1675 Comment Continued : The comment above was written from the same location.
My dear Abby, get YOUR facts straight! I understand your need to protect your mother but the streets closed for the Avocado Festival are commercial streets - with seperate access roads, no one is locked in against their will. I take great offence to you telling any of us to "get over it"! We are adults and home owners and 41/2 hours of OUR time is important! We have places to be and things to do and most of us only have 1 day off per week to get our things done! Unfortunately, this race is NOT extremely organized, the comments here only reflect a small percentage of residents who are extremly upset about the road closures. Your mother organized this and choose the easy way to get the roads closed because making allowences for residents to have access to their homes was too difficult a process. Perhaps you should grow up and think about the other people in your community!
FYI, County, that would be Bob Fuller, changed the route that impacts all of you. They also took months to approve many things. This is why notices went out so late.
This is entirely different then what they close for the Avocado Festival!! Most of the road closure there is main st. which is businesses. This run is closing reche, gird, winter haven.. ALL RESIDENTIAL STREETS!!! Inconvient for all that are affected.
The support for this event (Half Marathon & 5K) has, in general, been amazing!! The local vendors and groups who are donating time and resources has been heart-warming. Most people recognize the incredibly positive impact this can have on our community, and therefore accept the temporary inconvenience because they see the good it can do. There are so many young people involved, volunteering and eager to pitch in! Fallbrook is a wonderful town, filled mostly with wonderful people - I know there will be more people standing by and cheering the runners than those opposing it. And just maybe, if you find you can't shut it down you will join in next year and be part of the fun!
Abby: I don't blame you for taking up for your mother.....but why on earth weren't people in the neighborhood notified? That is a huge stretch of roadway, and 6:30 is an extremely early hour to have to get up and get out on a weekend, especially if you have small children!! I have organized events and I know what how hard it is and all the effort it takes, but the first thing you have to do is let people know about it!! I don't even have any idea what this marathon is for?? Where is the publicity on this? Yes, the Avo Festival blocks off Main street for a whole day, but signs are up weeks in advance to let people know and the paper covers the story so citizens are aware as well. I apologize for calling your mother a "dummy" although that was not the word I used, it was changed by the VN editor. ****** VILLAGE NEWS NOTE: The name used in the original comment submission was outside of our allowable terms. Thank you.
Quit crying everyone, spend some time at home until 12, or get your lazy xxx's up and start your day at 645.
Come on quit your wining this is good news for Fallbrook . Fallbrook bonsall rainbow needs this exposure. When someone or any organization does a good there are always winers. Village news you were informed by San Diego county public works and the event holders. I would like to see all of Fallbrook butts run Com on and support Vicki Barr Knox is doing an awesome job! Kudos *****VILLAGE NEWS REPLIES**** - "Watchdog" - you are absolutely incorrect. We were told of an original marathon plan that was to have taken place on a date earlier in the year (February) by Ms. Knox. When that never materialized, we were never informed of any new date, plan, etc. We did not and still have not received any type of notification from the county or the organizers. Please don't spread untruths. Someone in an organizational position obviously didn't follow through. Thank you, Debbie Ramsey
The exact responses I have come to expect from fallbrook residents. I have lived here for over 25 years and I am so glad Vicky finally took the initiative to get a race through our lovely town. The change in the routine of these complainers for a mere few hours can not really be the end of the world. The majority of residents here want no part of an event like this. I've watched fallbrook residents fight a skatepark for twenty years. Oh that would bring hooligans! A new high school? Why I went to school in a one room schoolhouse why can't the kids today? A half marathon? Why that will completely ruin all my plans for the day. And the traffic? Oh my. Thanks Vicky for getting this race going. And there has been plenty of information about this race. Instead of complaining go cheer on a runner. It won't hurt.
...And, I neglected to mention, that this type of event is wonderful for the community. It can grow into a big deal, and get better (logistically)-- unless, of course, Vicky has had a belly-full of the insults/complaints, and takes it somewhere else. Again, good luck!
AGAIN, I am NOT against the marathon! I am against the fact that it is closing down very busy, essential, residential streets and main arteries for practically 1/2 a day! Bottom line is, I AM BEING FORCED OUT OF MY HOME AGAINST MY WILL and told to "live with it" - in what world is that ok?!? Some residents were given 10 days notice or less, (most of my neighbors still haven't received a notice) so I can only imagine how many residents will be PO'd come next Satruday when they awake and try to go about their day. People in my neighborhood alone have scheduled weddings, birthday parties, contractors, etc...that now won't happen or have to be rescheduled. We were NOT given a choice! The problem here is most residents effected were NOT contacted. Per Robert Fuller @ DPWTE, less than 10% of the signatures gathered were from residents, such as myself, who are in the effected areas. To keep the peace, the run should be done where the residents are 100% ok with it - in other words, get the residents' approval first! I am saddened that some of you don't get how egregious this is. It tells me that you must not understand how important time is to the rest of who have schedules, and YES, a mere few hours will hurt, my Saturday mornings don't constist of sitting on the couch eating cereal and watching cartoons!! I am all about my Fallbrook community and the causes being helped by this run are of course worthy however, we, the ones who are being FORCED OUT OR LOCKED IN without a choice have the right to voice our opinions! **This "community event" should not benefit a few while inconviencing so many - put your marathon route up Main Street and out DeLuz and not in my front yard!!!! And the publicity for this event is sorely lacking, hardly anyone knew about it unless it's shutting down your street! Because of the road closures, I will have to wake everyone up at 5:30am, pack up the family & leave my house 3 hours before our 1st scheduled activity. Since I don't have family here and imposing on friends is out of the question (because I don't do that to my friends), I will obviously have expenses... as will many others in the same situation I am. Who do we forward the bills too???
OMG !!! You Reche Winterhaven people sound like a bunch of snobby crybabies. This is great for our little town. Super difficult to plan and will be a success which we all will benefit. I wanted it to run on my street but was not chosen. I'm off of Gird and planning to get up early to watch my family who is running. Time to step back and share our beautiful streets with runners. I think Abby stated it best!
A case of Dumb and Dumber. Dumb woman for organizing the event and Dumber man at county for approving. I guess they both figure since they will not be affected then who cares about the rest. I think Watchdog has been smoking too much of that medical marijuana!
As one of the residents affected, here is what I plan to do... On Saturday morning, I am going to sleep in. Once I do get up, I'll brew some strong coffee and spend the morning with my family. We will adapt, and continue living our lives. I hope that this event has a great turnout. Thank you for putting so much effort into organizing something that is good exposure for our community! Fallbrook needs more events like this. I promise to participate in the marathon next year with my family! To all the cry babies who have been given over 2 weeks advance notice (Yawn)... "Quit your belly-achin!"
It seems that choosing other than main thoroughfares through town might have impacted fewer residents. As it is, the routes will cause no little disruption for people who can't find an alternative route to get where they need to go that morning.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that all of you that are for the marathon live on streets that aren't being closed off!
..... and still no one has said what the marathon is for?? Poor planning and even poorer publicity has caused the problem, not the neighbors, whom I'm sure would have supported a worthy cause had they been informed... what exactly is the worthy cause again? Thank you Debbie, I wasn't complaining, I understand editing and idiot is not appropriate. I do take exception to calling people who are expected to get up and get out by 6:30 am lazy LMAO. Do you work? Do you have kids?
There are several events scheduled at Fallbrook High School - at the stadium and in the Bob Burton Center - the morning of April 12th. However, the school was not notified of the closure of Stage Coach Lane/Winterhaven until this week. Not sure how all the folks attending the events at the school will be able to get to their events. Very poor communication, indeed.
County parks is also helping host this event and has known about the impacts to neighbors of Live Oak Park for a few months. Why didnt the Parks Department notify anyone either? They get away with doing what they want at the expense of the residents just like their 'public meetings' with building the amphitheater and dog park.
What flyers? I live on Winterhaven and have heard NOTHING about this. I guess this must be what that orange sign on South Mission by the high school is about. Although, when you're driving by it at 50 miles an hour -- trying not to get run off the road by the folks blowing by you at 60-plus miles an hour -- you can't exactly stop to read what it says. Thanks Debbie and VN for at least trying to get some info out to those who will be affected by this.
Village News, this sounds like more of a personal attack against Mrs Knox more than anything to me!! The article and your comments to posts sound like you are hurt because, in your opinion, you weren't notified properly of the change in dates and the course map! Are you serious? What happened to reporting facts and being unbiased? This paper and the people running it are a joke! Good job to Vicki for bringing this event to Fallbrook, and great job Abby for telling it like it is and protecting your Mom!! ***VILLAGE NEWS REPLIES*** Dear Tim, we don't have an opinion one way or another about this event. However, it's hard to report on something you haven't been informed about. I think our coverage of all types of local events underscores that. Enjoy the race. Debbie Ramsey
@ #9 Abby I'm with you 100%! LAZY folks are inconvenienced for a few hours and all heck breaks loose! You know what? For all you LAZY and FAT Fallbrookers, get your LAZY bones and lard out there and join the marathon. You did make a New Year's resolution to loose some weight, didn't cha?
NIMBY #23, Sounds like you are going to have a Great Morning on the 12th !!!
@ #10 & 20 Reche Hostage and #11 dear Abby Yo Skippy, be honest, man! C'mon, man! What you are REALLY complaining about is that you'll miss . . . the all-you-can-eat special at Denny's, ain't it? (Or was that IHOP?) Hostage? Aren't we a wee bit over-dramatic there, Skippy? Hostage? Did you get that term from your NRA pamphlet? No, you are NOT forced against your will to stay or not stay in your home. Again, spare us the drama, will you? And you are NOT forced out or locked in your home. And yes, you certainly do have a right to voice your opinion . . . with the rest of us laughing at you. By all means, please do voice your opinion: my laughter at your comments certainly complimented my digestion of my breakfast this morning. Thank you so much. Finally, are you REALLY trying to convince us that the remaining SIX DAYS that you, like all of us, have are NOT enough time to get your stuff done? Do you truly believe we are that stupid? I am sure you will reply with a detailed agenta to make my position look foolish. Oh goodie! I can hardly wait for that one. So, how many pancakes are ya stackin'? C'mon man, be honest. PS. Please do voice your opinion. Not enough syrup?
Fallbrook is lucky to have an event like this and we need to encourage more of them. I applaud the organizers and appreciate their efforts. I hope the negativity of these comments doesn't preclude consideration of future events like it. That said, closing residential access with no way in or out is a mistake that could have been avoided by using another route. Good luck to the runners & organizers!
...and the dumbest person on the planet award goes to...... comment#33
Sat AM: Oil Change and Grocery shopping and Post office. (Taxes due) Sun - Avocado Festival - in which the Oil change and post office can not be done. Monday thru Friday work, work, work no time to do the Saturday chores. Don't tell me I'm a lazy arse - I'm anything but!! Try Olive Hill and Indian Hills next year.
Here is what lazy people do Saturdays. Wake up at 8:00 am have breakfast n starts getting ready... leaving. The house around 11:00- 11:30. Marathon is over....is there a need to complain when there is a lot of people who are not able to leave their homes for good reasons.
Excuse me Lee, we are not lazy because we don't want to leave our homes at 6:30. If we were lazy we would just stay home and sleep. Also, I can't get done what I need to in 6 days because the thing I need to do is scheduled for that day. Instead of leaving my house at 8:30 I have to leave at 6:30. If I had been given more notice I wouldn't have planned to go to this event but I was never informed. The organizers were supposed to make sure the residents knew about it which they neglected to do. I am just one of the many people who are being affected by this. I don't have a problem with the Marathon, just with the lack of people being notified. I guess they realized if they let people know they would have tried to stop it.
Well Lee, I am so glad that I could brighten your day & bring you joyous laughter. It warms my heart that I can make you smile. :-). That's really what community service is all about.
I am all for the half marathon and the location of the streets where it is run. However, a simple solution would be to change the times from 1 AM to 6AM. I get up and the race is over and all the streets are open to traffic! And yes, I live adjacent to WINTER HAVEN and am effected by the street closures.i
Special events and the inconvenience they cause are all part of society, but there's plenty to question about this running event. Most importantly, the timing of going public with the news of the event and road closures would be laughably inept if it weren't for the over-powering suspicion we've been played by promotors who know how to work an event into a community. There is no way people would willing go for closing major arteries such as Reche and Gird (plus what must be a lane closure on Mission in front of the High School), so the event was kept hushed until it was too late. That the road closures are/were excessive and ill-timed in their announcement can be seen by the county-forced modification of the race course as late as this morning. This hardly reassures us this event is well-planned (or well vetted by the county). And what is the point of "this event is good for Fallbrook" mentality? Usually such a statement is made in reference to promoting business in a town, but what gain is there to Fallbrook from this event? Some gasoline and convenience store sales? More prospective real estate buyers? Fallbrook is already far over-populated and has all the min-mart action it can stand. I've lived here 50 years and what was once a very pleasant place has morphed into just other SoCal blob of commercialism. We need more growth like a hole in the head, and enticing masses of people into town is redundant at best.
I cant believe they cant make one lane stay open, so people who need to leave can. If a fire broke out they would open a lane. once runners pass a persons home they should be free to leave.
I am positively sure that this amazing event will bring youth, health and interest into this amazing little community. Many of you clearly have never witnessed an event like this. I've done several half marathons - people wake up early not because they have to but because they WANT to cheer complete strangers on through a journey that is extremely challenging both mentally and physically. Just relax people and come see for yourselves! My entire family will be there at 6 in the morning! My mom, dad, sister, her four children as well as my husband and our 3 children 5 years of age and under just to show support as they know how much it means to us all. Think positive, embrace this new event and it will brighten you day!!
Where is "Indian Hills" around here?
I commend all the runners that are running in the first ever Avocado Half marathon and 5k. I, along with all my neighbors, am going to be impacted by the road closures and will not be leaving my home until the conclusion of this race. But instead of complaining and griping about it I will be making the best of this situation by cheering on all of the runners out there who run to stay healthy, who run to bring awareness or support to a charity or foundation, but most of all I will be cheering the runners that inspire others and achieve that amazing sense of accomplishment as they cross that finish line! ROCK ON!!
To Think Positive, thank you for making the point, in your own words: "people wake up early not because they have to but because they 'WANT' to". Most of us who will be locked-in, or locked-out may not WANT to!! Getting up early isn't the issue, it's having to leave by 6:30am to get to our own athletic activities (see, we aren't lazy like some of you assumed) 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 hours before we have to! To Speakman, thank you- very well said!! To Fallbrook Res: yes, opening a lane for residents would have been the courteous thing to do.... But that was too much to ask. Per Robert Fuller, that WAS an option but event organizer didn't opt for that!
Have all the people who are stating they have not been notified NEVER drive South Mission? There has been an electronic sign up for 2 weeks (?) stating the road closures.
You are all adults, FIGURE IT OUT! Park your car up the road and walk a block in the morning. Cheer on a runner while you are at it or don't. Did you want Vickie to re plan your Saturday for you too?! Get your oil changed next weekend, I'm sure you've put it off for months whats another week? Short notice yeah it sucks right, complain to BOB FULLER at the county he's the one who yanked Vickie's chain around for the past year causing all the changes, delaying the event date, approving the route, disapproving the route and finally approving the route last week. The route that is impacting you, yup Bob Fuller approved that one. Vickie Knox is one strong woman being put to the test by some of the people in her own community, people who should be supporting her and supporting this event regardless if you run or not. Keep your chin up Vickie you have plenty of support and this race will be amazing!!!!
What about the residents who work graveyard shifts and get home between the closure times? They'll have to sit in their hot cars and wait after a hard nights work! Or those who work weekends and now must get up 4 hours earlier and lose sleep so they dont miss work! And where are the proceeds from this marathon going? Comment Continued : The comment above was written from the same location.
If this event is so amazing then why isn't your entire family RUNNING in it?
Fallbrook Res hit it on the head; most marathons, soon after the start, spread out, not across. Make the effected roads one-way, give the runners one half of the road. Cars restricted to 15 MPH. It will be a bit of a pain to go one way, that slow, but better than getting kids up at 0530 for a 10 am game.
Sounds like ya'll need to get off your butts and go for a run LOL You had countless meetings and time to complain .... too late. And ya know what complaining in the comments on this article is going to get you????? Nothing LOL LOL there will be a marathon Saturday morning and before noon it will be over. Take a deep breath. Whew. LOL Darn those people pushing their bodies and staying active! Shame on them!! ;)
I am so excited for the community of Fallbrook to experience the culture of the running community. Runners are a diverse Group of individuals from elites to navious they look out for one another and are excited for everyone's accomplishments. It makes me proud to say I'm a Runner. Fallbrook offers the ideal terrain for a challenging run with it's rolling hills and amazing rural views. Unfortunately I am not able to run this year but will most defiantly be there to support the Runners. I look forward to having the opportunity to run it in the years to come. Per the Events website proceeds will be donated to Wounded Warrior, Jeremiah's Ranch & Boys & Girls club of North County. A BIG thanks to Vickie Barr Knox & Seasick marketing for all you have done organize this event.
I believe the problem with this event is not that people are opposed to Marathons. People who are impacted are upset because of the poor planning, lack of notification to residents and the "xxxx you" attitude of the event coordinator. Have you people never heard of advance publicity?
The reason that entire roads are closed is not the fault of the event organizer. Ms. Knox fought the county hard on this one and Bob Fuller told her that wasnt an option. He said it was easier to close down the entire road. Well, we now know that isnt the case is it. Maybe you all should complain to him not about shutting down the race, but to allow a lane for residents to get out next year. Get your facts straight people. To NIGHTSHIFT go to their website www.avocadohalfmarathon.com and it will tell you all of the charities that will benefit. Looks like Wounded Warrior being a big one. Oh and by the way, I am on an impacted road, have known for a while and have people in my house who have jobs on a Saturday who have had to plan around the road closure. There are plenty of places in Fallbrook and Bonsall open at 6am that would welcome the business. They even have internet! WOW. They dont plan to be staying in their cars until they have to go to work or go home.
Step off the school yard children!
I will be taking part in the 5K on Saturday and I am excited to support Vickie and the hard work she has put into this event. I think the residents should as well; as it seems that County of San Diego put up every possible road block to prevent the race from happening. If it is proven a success this year, maybe the County will be more willing to work with Vickie and her team to set a more advantageous course for both the residents and the runners. Lastly, I'm disgusted by some of these comments. Resorting to name calling and insults...really? When you take that route it pretty much eliminates any point you're trying to make or any sympathy you are trying to garner for your inconvenience. Being frustrated is completely understandable but stooping to name calling makes YOU look really bad. Best of luck to all the participants on Saturday. See you at the finish line!
The majority of insults being slung around are mostly by those individuals that are trying to force their neighbors into complying with their own selfish wants. If we were on the school yard that would be called bullying. I am not against the marathon, I simply have other things to do that morning that are equally as important to my family as the marathon is to some of you! But the condescending and "tough xxxx" attitude of those responsible for this event is making this situation worse. I worry about those residents on the route that are not aware of what's about to take place because let's be honest, the "notifications" were a joke and a large percentage of residents effected either didn't get one or threw it away because it looked like junk mail. Bottom line is, if this event had been handled correctly from the beginning so many people wouldn't be upset and the name calling and insults wouldn't be happening and we'd all still be friendly neighbors.
***NOTE TO LEE*** Lee, please refrain from sending these types of extremely lengthy comments filled with repetitive letters, symbols, and nonsensical ramblings. Rather than invest excessive time in reviewing these, we will just delete them. This has nothing to do with the topic at hand; it applies to every single story/article available for comment. Thank you, Debbie Ramsey.
Yay, Debbie Ramsey (in regards to Lee)!
Thank you to the organizers of this event for trying to do something to enrich our community. Some people like to try and make the world a better place. Others like to whine and play the victim and contribute nothing.
Is it too late to sign up for this run? And can we walk/run? If you can't beat 'em, you might as well join 'em.
If anyone is in any way delayed in a medical emergency or other emergency the organizers need to be prepared to spend a lot of money in court. Preventing people access in and out of their homes is unprecedented.
Thank you Debbie regarding Lees posts.
This is a follow up on my comments about liability in case of an emergency. The organizers will also be liable for any costs that a home owner may incur such as the person who stated that they had a contractor coming that day. If that person has to reschedule and take a day off work the organizers will then be libel to pay that person for the lost day of work. I can see all kinds of liability problems, I hope the organizers have liability insurance otherwise they could personally be severely impacted financially. Good luck :)
Are all marathoners as egotistical and self centered as the one's who are commenting on this site? They don't appear to care that they are inconveniencing people, or that the lack of good notification of the road closures sucks scissors!! I agree with Art. They had better hope there are no emergencies.
If people want to hit where it hurts most go to the event web site avocadohalf.com Click on SPONSORS and contact each of them and give them a piece of your mind.
In case of emergency there are emergency lanes built into the traffic control plans. No traffic control plan for a race would be approved without them. Again, people...use common sense. You just can't have cars and runners on a road together. That's a liability issue not the other way around. Two weeks of notification may not seem like enough time for you, but it's all that is required from the county. They weren't given approval to send out the notifications to residents until March 28th. They went out that day. Again, it's the county's fault, not event owners. Next year notification will go out a month in advance, but looks like it may just be more time for people to whine about it. To DR DR-go to website at www.avocadohalf.com to sign up.
All I can say is shame on every single one who is critical of this event. Shame on you, shame on you!
Have any of you guys ever heard of the Rock and Roll Marathon ? Or the Carlsbad Marathon ? How is it other communities survive the horror that is a marathon ? Yet only in the " Friendly Village " does the event become one of the worst days of some peoples life !
Once again, the Village News is closing comments on a story due to the direction bloggers are taking. We cannot approve comments that are filled with vulgar language and threats. Debbie Ramsey, Editor |

Lowe Art Museum Names Dr. Jill Deupi as New Director
Unless you are an employee of, member, docent or frequent visitor to the University of Miami's Lowe Art Museum in Coral Gables it's likely you're unaware that it is South Florida's oldest visual arts institution and boasts a whopping 19,000 objects spanning five millenniums of art history in its collection today. Courtesy of Lowe Art Museum
But that's all about to change for the only place in town where you can catch rare Jewish mosaics from the Roman Empire and ancient Greek urns, contemporary Cuban paintings, pre-Colombian sculptures or Renaissance opuses during an afternoon visit to the research and teaching institution at any given time.
That's because the Lowe, which had its genesis in a musty UM campus classroom back in 1950 and opened to the public in a free-standing building two years later, has hired Dr. Jill Deupi as its new director and charged her with helping place the museum atop the region's cultural organizations.
"I am honored to have been selected to lead the Lowe Art Museum as it embarks on an exciting new chapter in its rich and storied history," says Deupi, who currently serves as director and chief curator of University Museums at Fairfield University in Connecticut.
While at Fairfield, Deupi also served as an assistant professor of art history since 2008, as well as founding director of the campus' Bellarmine Museum of Art which opened in 2010.
Deupi says the Lowe is "perfectly poised to catapult itself to the next level, building upon its tremendous resources and past successes while embracing 21st century museum practice, contemporary art and culture, and new education modalities - above all, participatory learning."
The 44 year-old mother of three also credits the Lowe's solid foundation and Miami's effervescent arts scene for her decision to join UM, beginning August 11.
"I am thrilled to be coming to Miami. My husband, Victor, is a Cuban-American and has strong family ties to the city. He is an architect who teaches at the School of Architecture and Design at the New York Institute of Technology and will be joining me at the University of Miami as a lecturer on the faculty here," Deupi adds.

Watch for debris
As the cleanup from Sandy continues, please be extra careful as you drive the island. Many homes still have debris in the street, and there may be items left behind as the crews progress through the island. Also be mindful that the lanes of travel on some roads will be narrower due to the piles of debris.
Department website
Please visit the newly redesigned brigantinepolice.org website, updated by Lt. Reed. The redesigned site has a more user-friendly view, easier navigation and all the up-to-date information from our department.
Front beaches reminder
No vehicles are to be on the front beaches without a valid permit, valid Fishing Derby pin and actively fishing. Riding the beach with your derby pin and not fishing is not allowed. The beaches are not open for general vehicle travel at any time during the year.
Front Beach restrictions
As the result of an agreement the city entered into with the state and federal government, there will be no dogs, vehicles or kites allowed on the Front Beach from Bramble Drive to Sandy Lane. There is currently fencing in place on the beach to protect nesting areas. Please be mindful of the areas marked off as you travel the beaches.
4x4 permit required
It shall be unlawful to operate an automobile, truck, motorcycle or any other vehicle on the beaches within the City of Brigantine without a permit. Permits must be permanently affixed to the vehicle's rear-view mirror. Permits may not be mounted with tape, rubber bands, mounted on Plexiglas or in any other manner of temporary mounting. Permits may not be applied to windows, dashboards, or any location other than the rear-view mirror.
Boat and trailer parking
Trailer parking has been extended to Saturday, Dec 1.
Revere Boulevard violations
Police are continuing rigorous enforcement of speeding and stop-sign violations on Revere Boulevard. Officers are assigned to monitor the area on a random basis and will be strictly enforcing all speed and traffic laws. This is your warning: slow down and obey the stop signs.
Lafayette Boulevard speeding
Complaints continue to come in regarding speeders along Lafayette Boulevard. Officers will be randomly running radar speed checks. This is your warning: slow down and obey the 25 mph speed limit.
Parking reminders
According to NJS 39:4-135, all vehicles must be parked facing the direction of travel. Do not park facing oncoming traffic. Parking so as to block a sidewalk is also prohibited under NJS 39:4-138(f).

We have received multiple reports of a scam involving a fax from an individual (from Ghana or other African nations) offering a business venture with a deposit of 95 million dollars. The fax asks for personal information including full name, date of birth, and address. If you receive such a fax, email or phone message, please delete or ignore it without responding.
Police have received several complaints of a home improvement scam. Victims report that an unknown male offers home improvements and when the victim declines, the caller lets the victim know that he has some of their personal information (social security number, date of birth, etc.). If anyone receives such a call, get as much information as you can about the caller, hang up and report it to us.
We have received calls from our local realtors that Craigslist scams are starting up again for rental properties. Please tell all your friends and family who may be interested in renting here to only deal with a licensed professional real estate agent, close friend or family member.
Bogus phone solicitations
The Brigantine P.B.A. 204 understands that you may receive many phone calls from outside organizations claiming to be affiliated with local law enforcement. These solicitors and telemarketers do not represent us. To prevent fraud, the Brigantine P.B.A. will only correspond using the "mail-in" system and will never under any circumstances come to your residence to solicit or collect any contributions.

The Howard Hughes Corporation Secures $158 Million Loan Package For Bridgeland
The Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE: HHC) today announced the company has secured two non-recourse loans for a cumulative amount of $158 million for the acclaimed Bridgeland master planned community. Based in the Northwest corridor of Houston, Bridgeland is an 11,400-acre community located approximately 27 miles west of downtown Houston.
Stimulated by the continued growth in the energy segment, Bridgeland is located in one of the fastest growing housing markets in the U.S. Located near the I-10 Energy Corridor, the opening of Segment E of the Grand Parkway in 2014 and the widening of U.S. 290 will bring additional development into the area. The Grand Parkway is an important component in Houston's mobility plan and will bring the community within a short commute to The Woodlands, where a number of energy companies have recently located major offices and other facilities. Bridgeland will also be minutes away from the new ExxonMobil campus as well as Bush Intercontinental Airport.
The first of the two loans is a three-year, $140 million revolving horizontal development credit facility which will accelerate development efforts to meet the burgeoning demand of homebuilders for finished lots in the community. The second loan is a ten-year $18 million facility which refinances the existing land loan at an improved interest rate. Many leading national and local homebuilders are active in the Bridgeland community.
"These two loans continue our mission to create the premier community in Northwest Houston," said Grant Herlitz, president of The Howard Hughes Corporation. "In addition, they also show that despite the challenging debt market, financial institutions are willing to lend to credible sponsors with a vision to develop quality real estate in the right location."
The Bridgeland community includes four residential villages, a 900-acre town center and over 3,000 acres of greenbelts, parks and waterways. Planned for 20,000+ homes and 65,000+ residents, Bridgeland is currently home to 5,000 residents living in 1,500 homes ranging in price from $180,000 to $750,000. With more than 10,000 acres remaining, Bridgeland is projected to have a 25-year build-out. The community has received numerous accolades, including the National Association of Home Builder's 2009 "Master Planned Community of the Year." Bridgeland ranks fourth in total annual home starts among Houston MPCs and 13th in the U.S. Additional information about Bridgeland can be found at www.bridgeland.com. About The Howard Hughes Corporation The Howard Hughes Corporation owns, manages and develops commercial, residential and mixed-use real estate throughout the U.S. Our properties include master planned communities, operating properties, development opportunities and other unique assets spanning 18 states from New York to Hawaii.

For this, Guitar Hero, game I'm adding music obviously, the problem is that, the songs dont load until you hit Start. Which starts the game. But the loading of the song throws off the time of the chords and stuff you hit. I could make a delay, but different songs have different load times, also after the song is loaded once it doesn't have a problem anymore, so there's no delay. So everything gets mixed up.
So, basically... is there anyway to load the music right when the person logs on? (Songs will be in either .mp3 format or .ogg and they don't seem to load until you hit Start even for the host, which is weird. Mp3's seem to load faster but the size is bigger when I play it.)
