Cleanliness and lots to do within walking distance
All the homeless people laying around in the area
Nice amenities. Very clean and accesible. Comfortable. Nice breakfast.
The bathroom smelled too much to clorox. Expensive parking.
Cleanliness in the rooms and the pool can improve
I've had a pleasant stay on many occasions except this time. I stayed in 2 rooms and had to ask for the linen to be changed in both. Hair was found in the blanket on both beds! Gross!! Once is an oversight, twice is an issue.
Very clean. nice staff. beautiful view. Good value.
in a not quite nice area. Maybe it is a new community. The hotel is kind of the best building in the area. Room is small.
It's a historic building with an invaluable art collection.
Their claim to have a pool is ludicrous.
Friendly staff
Waterfall in elevators
Biting sand fleas on beach
Not oceanfront...Road separates hotel from beach
Creepy drowned woman photo on bedroom ceiling
Loud sounds from rooftop bar radiate into room
Small bathroom
Hard mattress
Nice chick place. Rooms are good, only mattress under you might report its excessive mileage it loud fashion. Otherwise nice stay. good roof top bar and restaurant food is great.
The night before, we stayed at a nearby hotel that was $40 more and was absolutely terrible and small. HOJO was clean, roomy, and excellently staffed. Perks include free wifi, free breakfast, and an excellent pizza restaurant in the lobby. It is not technically a beachfront hotel, but it is <5min walk to the Atlantic Ocean.
The rooms are spacious, but the hallways may induce claustrophobia.
The location was the only redeeming quality of this hotel.
Everything beyond the lobby looked fifty years old. My room smelled horrible and was not anything near clean. They make the beds with the sheets on top of the blankets, possibly in an attempt to make them look elegant. I guess this is OK if you want to use an uncleaned blanket as your sheet. I ended up remaking the bed as you would expect to find it in any decent hotel or your home.
The parking was $8 per night. That's an OK price for the location but the attendant tried to charge me $15. When I called him on it he gave me the proper change for my twenty and just looked the other way!!!
The bathroom was nice and big. Listening to the ocean while we slept was great. It felt like you were staying in someone's home instead of a hotel. The lady who checked us in was a sweetheart!
Nothing, it was ok for a short stay after getting off our sailboat, and sleeping one night before we left for the airport in the a.m.
Friendly staff.
Nickle & Dimed. Pre-arranged amenaties, spa services and payment. All was lost somewhere between the concierge and front desk; so had to change plans and credit card.
Staff was very kind and friendly. Super clean. Can't beat the location. A great little inn for people that prefer old world character over plastic cookie cutter chain hotels. Would highly recommend.
Service from the staff was excellent. View from our room was fantastic. Room and grounds were kept very clean. Beach was lovely and kept clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would like to return.
A little pricey. Also someone was smoking on their balcony. We could not sit on our balcony one evening because of the smokers. I was told that the hotel policy allows smoking on the balconies as long as their balcony door remains shut. That may be fine to keep smoke out of the room but it doesn't help guests in nearby rooms. Smoking should not be allowed anywhere on the grounds, including balconies.
Wonderful live music at pool and in lobby. Beautiful beach, plenty of chairs and umbrellas. Nice pool, just a little chilly.
Food is so-so and overpriced (no big surprise).
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Ashes 2013: Pedestrian England losing momentum to Australia
This final Test was supposed to feel like a celebration for England, a sold-out stationary parade to rejoice in an Ashes series not just won but dominated.
Instead, with Australia on top and England sometimes pedestrian and often parked, it has had the air of a half-empty kitchen after a raucous house party: the fun parts long gone, the mood flat, a realisation in the air that everyone should probably stop drinking Blue Curacao and just go home to sleep it all off.
It shouldn't make sense. To be leading an Ashes series 3-0 is sufficiently rare to be cherished, regardless of the way it comes to an end. Those raised on a diet of hammerings and humiliations could once barely believe such a scoreline might ever come to pass.
So why the long faces and quiet voices? England may have scored slowly on Friday as they attempted to grind towards the follow-on target - a mere 65 runs in a moribund morning session, a sedentary afternoon when the run-rate barely edged above two, just 66 in 34 overs in the evening - but the excuses are not hard to find.
Rule number one of Test batting: don't give your wicket away. If it looks like you can't win the match, make sure you don't lose it. Never take your foot from the snake's neck. In Alastair Cook, Joe Root and Jonathan Trott, they also have a top three all struggling for form.
But there is being practical, and there is being passive. As the day drifted, and the crowds snoozed, the question kept banging around the brain: would Ricky Ponting have let his all-conquering team play at this pace in 2006-07, or Steve Waugh in 2001?
England top-order series averages
Cook: 243 runs - series average 27.00 (overall career Test average 47.94)
Root: 328 runs - series average 41.00 (overall 41.77)
Trott: 234 runs - series average 26.00 (overall 47.24)
Pietersen: 326 runs - series average 36.22 (overall 48.30)
Bell: 529 runs - series average 75.57 (overall 47.10)
Prior: 86 runs - series average 14.33 (overall 42.31)
Waugh liked to challenge his team in such dominant situations. Let's win this Test in three days. Let's score at four an over. Let's reduce this rabble to rubble.
That's easier to say and do when your entire top six average at least 45 and your bowling attack all average less than 25. Yet England's last three Ashes triumphs have also been based around positive intent.
In 2005, their average run-rate over the series was 3.8, in 2009 3.7, in 2010-11 3.5. In this series so far, they have scored instead at 2.8.
Pitches have been slow and sometimes low this summer. But even Australia, with a batting line-up far less accustomed to English conditions and prone to calamitous collapse, have rumbled along at an average of 3.3 runs an over.
Neither have England scored a weight of runs to match those recent examples. They will have to score an unlikely 400 more in the remainder of this dying game to match the aggregate of 2005 - made against a superior attack - and 300 to find parity with 2009.
"There have been some memorable games at The Oval down the years, but this is not one of them. What hurts is that all the talk before the game was about how they were going to play to win and they wouldn't use it as an end-of-season match.
"Talk is cheap, and it's what you dish up that matters. They talked it up but haven't backed it up."
These numbers may pale in importance compared to that all-important 3-0. But while this series will end at some point over the weekend, its sequel begins in less than three months' time.
Patterns established here may prove hard to shift come the Gabba in November. Momentum, once entirely with England, may be drifting away.
"Friday was a reflection of the way England have gone into the entire match," says Mark Butcher, four times on the wrong end of crushing Ashes series defeats in his 71 Tests and here at The Oval as an expert summariser for the BBC.
"England could and should have totally demoralised this Aussie team. The intention should have been to humiliate them, to bury them, just as Ricky Ponting vowed to do in the aftermath of 2005. Instead they have left them feeling comfortable.
Digging in
Kevin Pietersen reached his fifty off 127 balls. That was his slowest in an Ashes Test and third slowest overall. His slowest is 134 balls v India at Lord's in 2011 and his second slowest is 130 balls v West Indies at St John's in 2009. His previous slowest in an Ashes Test was 123 balls at Perth in 2006. Overall he scored 50 off 133 balls. His strike-rate for the innings of 37.59 was his slowest for an innings over 50. His previous slowest was 38.63 (51 off 132 balls) in the innings at St John's mentioned above.
"It doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel like a victory parade. Australia will return home not with their tails between their legs but thinking they don't actually have as much to worry about down under as they first thought."
Heavy rain is forecast for much of Saturday. With England 247-4 at the close on Friday, fewer than 50 runs from avoiding the follow-on, a draw is almost certain.
At The Oval four years ago, England only took the upper hand in the series on the penultimate day of the series. Eight years ago, that most glorious of summers was only sealed in the final session of the final day.
But Butcher, like many others, does not expect wild celebrations this time around at a far more comfortable margin of success.
"The disappointing thing from the fans' point of view is that, while 3-0 sounds like a drubbing, Australia will come out of this series with much more credit than that scoreline suggests," he says.
"If Friday were the first day of play you had seen all series, you would have assumed that Australia were the team 3-0 up, not England.
"It might all mean nothing come the first day in Brisbane. But England might have turned up with Australia in total disarray, with no idea what their top six was. Instead, Shane Watson and Steve Smith have been allowed to get set, and Michael Clarke's lack of form has not been so exposed.
Slow batting
Fewest Test runs scored in a full day's play:
- 95 (Australia v Pakistan, Karachi 1956-57)
- 104 (Pakistan v Australia, Karachi 1959-60),
- 106 (England v Australia, Brisbane 1958-59)
- 111 (South Africa v India, Cape Town 1992-93)
- 112 (Australia v Pakistan, Karachi, 1956-57)
- 115 (Australia v Pakistan, Karachi, 1988-89).
"Perhaps the pitch has got a little slower since the first day. But there has been a lack of intent about England's play, and the initial team selection was bizarre.
"It meant that the usual tactics here at The Oval if you lose the toss - try to bowl the opposition out for less than 300, bat past them, pile on the pressure in the third innings - couldn't happen.
"Once Australia went past 450, England will have looked at Saturday's poor forecast, reasoned they were unlikely to win the game, and thought: we don't need to do anything here. Let's just bat it out.
"It's the professional approach. But it's the professional in the worst sense."
Perhaps this is all just carping. Perhaps we should all just break out the party poppers and plastic horns and revel in the unfamiliar fun of three Ashes series won on the bounce, of three series wins in three for Alastair Cook.
Let the Ashes down under wait until November. Perhaps.

Aite Group says a new survey shows that about one-fifth of credit unions are better positioned now than a year ago to penetrate the small business space.
Kinect for Xbox 360, a controller-free, $150 gaming device that allows users to operate their Xbox consoles solely through bodily gestures and voice commands, has made a splash among video game and electronics enthusiasts. But is there a practical application for Kinect outside the gaming world–say, in credit union branches?...
Biller direct payment adoption continues to grow while competition heats up among vendors of the multi-channel option.
A combination of factors has credit unions seaching for noninterest income in earnest.
The banking crisis of the past couple years has created both challenge and opportunity for credit unions as they adapt their IT tools to a new normal.
While credit unions weathered the recession better than large banks, they are searching for new sources of revenue to counterbalance slow loan business and potential losses on the debit card side resulting from the interchange fee cap.
Fiserv Inc., a company known for growing by acquisition since its creation in 1984, has announced three new acquisitions, including a credit union core processing service bureau, a mobile banking and payments provider and startup prepaid card specialist.

First pics of my first SFG!
I'm new at this, so the smallest accomplishments seem huge to me. I'm so excited, I just had to share:
As you'll see, I'm as new to photography as I am to SFG. . .
You know...I have seen lots of baby pictures, and truly, not ALL of them are cute.
But...I have yet to see a homely SFG bed!
Nice work! I'm just putting in a direct link for you.
Here is a link that might be useful: Stevsie's New SFG!
Thanks everyone! Those are just your basic sugar snap peas, but three days of temps in the ninties here isn't making them very happy. The garden is 4x8 and I have to admit, I cheated a bit on the mix (just don't tell Mel!). I'm in Virginia, zone 7, everything in the garden was started from seed in the ground, but I have cukes and tomato starts that will be going in soon. Some of my beets didn't sprout, which means I have some holes to fill; basil and nasturtiums should do the trick. This has been so much fun!

Sorry, but we were not wowed by this resort. My daughter and I went last week to celebrate her 30th birthday. We upgraded to Preferred Club but didn't really see much value. The room was OK, but nothing I haven't seen at many mid-range chain hotels. We did not get any maid service until after we complained on our second day. No robes or pool towels were in our room as advertised. They appeared after we questioned it, but then discovered you only get pool towels in your room once upon check in. (One pool towel for all week, really??)
I am not a picky eater but the food was pretty bad - most hot items were not served hot, buffet food was scary and unappetizing. My "fettucine with wild mushrooms" had canned button mushrooms. Ordered room service pasta with chicken and peas and they delivered pasta with ham and peppers. The French restaurant was a good meal and good burgers at the Castaway Grill.
We did get good service on my daughter's birthday - the room was decorated, the butler found us on the beach and brought her a special drink and they had a nice cake for us for dessert at dinner. The rest of the week service was spotty and inconsistent.
One bright spot was the spa - it is very pretty and the spa manager was very accomodating. We got a spa package and she allowed us to mix and match services. Nicest day we had!
The beach is fairly well maintained, although when we went out one morning we saw our dirty dishes still out there from the day before. The pool areas are well kept and the Entertainment staff is high energy. They do their best to be sure that the visitors have a good time.
Overall, our biggest disappointments were the food quality and lack of a sense that a Preferred Club room was a luxury experience. We expected an upscale experience and it definitely was not.

vitex pruning
I have a chaste tree quickly growing into a very wide shrub. I would like to prune it into tree form, probably multiple trunk. Has anyone ever done this and can it be done this time of year. This is it's 2nd year. I knew it would grow fast and it still has some room but I like the tree form much better.
I've had a vitex for 8 or 9 years now and I think you can prune it up tree form if you want to. You also could do it pretty much any time of the year. I pruned mine into a tree form for probably 5 or 6 years and it was not as successful as I had hoped or expected. Because it grows so quickly, you'll have to be prepared to prune and prune and prune and prune. No matter how much you prune, it will never be as happy in the tree form as it will be in its natural shrubby shape. I finally decided to quit fighting Mother Nature and let the poor thing grow the way nature intended. I have not pruned it for about three years now and have let it revert back to its natural shape.
One problem I had with pruning it into a tree shape is that the limbs would inevitably break during a storm. Since I stopped pruning it into the tree form, I haven't lost a single limb.
To me, it just seemed pointless to spend the next umpteen years trying to make the vitex grow in a shape and manner that wasn't natural for it. But, that's just me, and I had plenty of space to let it be as shrubby as it wants to be. If I had planted it in a location where it needed to be maintained in tree form due to space limitations, I probably would have kept on pruning it and would have learned to live with losing limbs in windstorms every couple of years.
I do prune both Possumhaw Hollies and Southern Wax Myrtles (lots of both) into a tree shape and they tolerate it much better than the vitex did, and both require much less frequent pruning to maintain the tree form as both are slower-growing.
Good luck with your vitex--it is one of my favorite plants. When it is blooming, nothing looks prettier....and I look at it and think to myself "I should plant a dozen more of these".
Poky: Are you near OKC? Nichols Hills Park has a bunch of them that are tree form. They look rather old, so that might be the trick.
My experience is similar to Dawn's. I keep mine pruned up, but you can prune and prune and prune on this tree. Next year I'm planning on cutting it to the ground and letting it resprout. My pruning has created a rather ugly tree!
Dawn, how big did yours get after you let it to natural?
Lisa, It is a huge monster. Hold on.....I am going to walk outside right now and look at it and try to estimate its size. OK, I am back and it looks to be about 10 to 12' wide and roughly 12' to 15' tall. It has five main trunks that are about as big around as my wrist and about 6 or 8 smaller ones.
To tell you the truth, we had a VERY severe blue norther roll in a few winters back and our temperatures dropped from the 60s in the morning to about 15 degrees that night. The tree froze completely to the ground (it was pretty much our first below-freezing temp of the winter) and that was when I decided that, if it survived, I would let it grow naturally, So, we cut it off at the ground with a chainsaw in late February and it greened up probably in late April that year.
It has been growing happily ever since even though it is beginning to receive some shade from several nearby oak trees that are (finally!) attaining a decent height and spread.
By the way, some folks who live a couple of miles up the road from us have a vitex that is about 30 to 40 years old and it is magnificent. It has a spread and height of roughly 20' and is very healthy and has the most gorgeous flowers. I hope mine gets that big one of these days!
Vitex agnus-castus (Chaste Tree) is one of the loveliest and toughest shrubs you'll ever see. It is such a tough survivor that in parts of Texas they are planted in highway medians where they survive only on rainwater. I have had mine wilt in our worst drought year we've seen here (21" of rain that year, and almost none fell for 3 months) but it has never dropped leaves and gone dormant. It blooms sporadically from mid-spring through the first frost, and I have had blooms on it as late as November and December in a mild year. The butterflies adore it and it performs much better than butterfly bush for me. Oh, and even though we all have blue ones, there is a pink-flowered one too. I have loved this plant since I was a child and it was one of the first trees I planted here.
Do you need one? Of course you do! With it AND a mimosa, you'll have blooms all summer long.

AFC South: Dudley Guice
How can Peyton Manning get better?
How does Peyton Manning, the league's first four-time MVP, get better for 2010?
Head coach Jim Caldwell has seen the process up close as a participant. He knows just the sort of meticulous deconstruction of the 2009 season Manning has done with quarterback coach Frank Reich in search of bullet points to concentrate on for 2010.
"He's a very unusual guy," Caldwell said. "Every year he kind of goes through this process where he and Frank will sit down and they'll take a look at what he was able to accomplish last year, he'll look at all his strengths and weaknesses. He'll review every single snap of every game he played. And not just glancing over it, but I'm talking about detail. They'll take notes of ever single throw, every single play call, every single check.
"And then from that he'll go through it and then make a determination on where he thought he could improve on that setting. He'll dissect his entire season that way and then he'll set new goals for himself in terms of what he thinks he can accomplish. And he seems to certainly keep moving forward, each and every year you see he gets better… I don't think there is any limitation on him, on what he can improve upon."
How long does it take? A week? A couple?
"Months," Caldwell said. "Plural."
That's not talk from Caldwell the rest of the NFL will be excited to hear, but it's hardly surprising. Saying Manning is meticulous is akin to saying Santa Claus is overweight. Still, we don't frequently get details of just how Manning goes about things, just like we don't get readings from a scale at the North Pole.
I asked Caldwell about avenues for Manning to improve upon after Manning spoke at the media center podium at team headquarters Friday. I certainly wish I were getting the scoop from Manning. But odds are Manning, who's super savvy with the media but not a big sharer with stuff that could ever qualify as state secrets, wouldn't have offered much up on it anyway.
"The main thing I try to work on is the timing with these new receivers, Brody [Eldridge] who's a new tight end here, Sam Giguere who's healthy and obviously try to get even more sound with Pierre [Garcon], [Austin] Collie," Manning said. "And everybody acts like this is the start. We've been here since April, we've been throwing. We've been working a lot on the field.
"I've had another good offseason with [Anthony] Gonzalez now that he's back. Getting the timing down with all these young receivers, the more I can get on the same page with them the more we have a better chance at success."
Clyde Christensen is the offensive coordinator now, with Tom Moore in a lesser role.
Manning has worked closely with Christensen in recent years. He's been the coach who has been in charge of third-down situations and red zone plays, two excellent areas for the Colts. While some players will need to adjust to the change in coordinators, the switch won't slow Manning down at all.
At minicamp practice, Manning looked like Manning.
In a breeze that was occasionally strong, the throws were crisp and precise whether the target was Dallas Clark or Dudley Guice. The quarterback's conversations with a coach or player to the side during breaks were accented with points and hand gestures about patterns and positioning.
I'd never expect that Manning would decide he's got it all under control.
But I do suspect it can get increasingly hard for very good players in any sport to find macro-issues to target this time of year. That's why it's so great when we learn that Kobe Bryant spent offseason time with Hakeem Olajuwon to become a better player in the post, and why details from Caldwell on Manning's determination to be more accurate can be pretty interesting.
Before 2008, Manning's tear-down of 2007 led him to a more intense focus on pass placement, according to Caldwell, who was the assistant working most closely with him then.
So what did that lead to?
"He works each and every drill in terms of placing the ball where he wants to place it and if he doesn't hit it right on the spot, he'll say, 'Hey, let's do that one again,'" Caldwell said. "He'll repeat it. And for most people, the initial pass would have been one that would have been highly acceptable.
"But for him, it maybe wasn't right on the pinpoint of the left shoulder. Or maybe it wasn't at the right ear. He's very, very precise in that regard, and I think that's what makes him unusual."
Anything Manning has discovered since then has also been layered into his private individual work with targets and sessions like today's.
Reggie Wayne is absent in a contract protest. Upon his return, the group of Wayne, Garcon, Collie and Gonzalez gives the team a "chance to be as deep as ever" at the position, Manning said.
The draft class is supplemented by the return of Gonzalez and safety Bob Sanders from injury -- players Manning feels almost qualify as free-agent additions. Given those factors, the Colts seem like they'll be in position to improve as they try to defend their AFC title.
But Manning emphasizes they've got to do the things to make it so, not rely on how it all looks on paper.
Notes from his season breakdown are on paper, too. It's hard to imagine they won't come to life on fall Sundays.
"He's got such great presence of mind, such great will and determination that I think you will see him improve in almost every area," Caldwell said.
Titans' cuts
Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky
The Titans first round of cuts are in, and none of them rank as a surprise based on what's unfolded in training camp and the preseason.
To get their roster to 75, the team cut these four:
Receiver Dudley Guice
Running back Rafael Little
Linebacker Tyson Smith
Center Matt Lehr
There had been some early hype about Little -- some of it given volume by me. He was signed as an undrafted free agent last year as he rehabilitated a serious knee injury but has not stood out in any way since he started to practice. We knew someone would bump Chris Henry, we just didn't know it was going to wind up being a draft pick names Javon Ringer.
What I noticed during the Titans' first practice
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Some quick thoughts out of the first practice of Titans training camp, which was not especially eventful.
First, the two things I tweeted (@espn_afcsouth):
- No contract for Kenny Britt meant the first round pick, a wide receiver, wasn't on the field. Chris Davis and Lavelle Hawkins got the additional work. No real indication of where negotiations stand except the standard optimism.
- Vince Young had a nice day, you'll find one detail about it below, and outperformed Patrick Ramsey by a good bit on the first day. If it's the start of a trend it'll be a good development, but let's not read a whole lot into a one day sampling of anything.
- Yes, LenDale White has kept the weight off. I would have thought he would have been in the locker room advertising the number, which could be under 230. White looks impressive.
- Speaking of running back size: I said during OTAs that I thought rookie Javon Ringer was not well-served by being assigned No. 3, which made him look too thin for the part of a physical back. He looks a lot better, honest, in his new No. 21.
- Kicker Rob Bironas was not in uniform, Jeff Fisher said he was going to be held out for a few days with a slight pull, then called it soreness that "is nothing to be concerned about." He declined to reveal a body part. Undrafted rookie A.J. Trapasso kicked during a field goal period and was unimpressive, but Fisher emphasized Trapasso is a punter first, a kickoff guy second and a place kicker third. If we don't have to be concerned about it, why does it have to be top secret?
- Bironas got bigger in the offseason and I know I risk some wrath here, but I have to be candid and say it's not all muscle.
- Hard not to find symbolism when Paul Williams, very likely on his last legs, drops the first pass thrown to him, in a period with quarterbacks and no defenders. Same result for undrafted rookie Dudley Guice. Later, Williams got scolded by offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger. If the coach is making hand gestures about the course you should have taken as opposed to the one you took before you even get back to the line of scrimmage, that's not a good sign.
- Bud Adams watched some practice from the balcony off the second-floor executive office, which has a new awning to provide some shade. He pulled out binoculars to check out the action on the field furthest from him, where the main action happened to take place. Earlier in the day he reminisced about the AFL on a national media conference call.
- During receiver work, Nate Washington, Dominique Edison, Hawkins and Phillip Morris lined up on the left and Justin Gage, Davis, Williams, Mark Jones and Guice were on the right.
- Washington breaks down smoothly and makes sharp cuts. He did some coaching of Edison during the receivers' period alone with the quarterbacks. I want to see him run all out, which I haven't seen for myself yet.
- In seven-on-seven work, Chris Hope broke up a quick pass for Chris Johnson from Kerry Collins. Then Hope and Cortland Finnegan broke up a bullet of about 10 yards from Collins intended for Alge Crumpler, who was moving downfield. Hope topped things off by picking off a mid-range pass intended for Davis, also from Collins.
- No lineup surprises at all that I saw. Leroy Harris is at center for Kevin Mawae (elbow), who said he's start getting into the swing of things in two weeks and ideally needs a little preseason time but is concerned only with being ready for Sept. 10 in Pittsburgh. Tony Brown started off at right defensive tackle -- Albert Haynesworth's old spot -- next to Jason Jones.
- Young hit rookie tight end Jared Cook with a nice midrange pass up the left sideline over linebacker Colin Allred and was generally on target from the pocket and on the move.
- DeMarcus Faggins moved quickly to come from behind Gage, dive and break up a pass delivered from Young on the run
- It seemed like the offense didn't complete anything deep, which is always what a crowd wants to see. The first team defense flew around and clearly had the better day, picking up where it left off at the end of OTAs. But it was just one day.
- Check out Keith Bulluck on Twitter -- @kbull53. He's doing live chats with video, though Friday's was postponed: "No show this evening folks,got things 2 do @ work. Hopefully I get the kinks worked out b4 the next episode. Good day @ prac tho. I'll holla." He was being coy about it, and is clearly looking to grow his own thing without any advertising from an outlet like this one. Sorry Charlie.

Jim Irsay says the Colts won't redo their stadium deal, writes Robert Annis.
John Oehser breaks down Donald Brown.
Final thoughts on Dominic Rhodes from Oehser. Polian said the Colts never heard from Rhodes' agent. This confuses me. If Polian was interested in Rhodes, he would have dialed out, no?

Jim Wyatt's look at Day 2 of the Titans' draft.
The folks at The Tennessean grade the draft.
Tennessee's first undrafted rookies included Michigan defensive tackle Mitch King and Northwestern (La.) State receiver Dudley Guice.
David Climer says the Titans are comfortable outside BCS conferences.
Joe Biddle considers how the draft will impact the AFC South.
Wyatt doesn't expect the Titans to pull the franchise tag from Bo Scaife, but even before Tennessee drafted Jared Cook a long-term deal for Scaife didn't look like it was happening.

"Very Touched & Inspired by this Woman's Life"
Hearing about how Jesus touched her life in the midst of a Muslim culture.
When she has a dream and in the dream she is having supper with Jesus.
When God through this woman used her to bring comfort to those who had ostracized her.
This is a very wonderful, touching and inspiring story of how one woman, in the midst of a Muslim culture in Pakistan, gave her life to Jesus, and the wonderful things that happened as a result. An absolutely beautiful life story, I enjoyed it very much.

A modest economy seems to be keeping lid on hiring
WASHINGTON U.S. job growth slumped in April for a second straight month. It suggested an economy that is growing steadily but slowly, which could tighten the presidential race.
A drop in the unemployment rate wasn't necessarily a healthy sign for the job market. The rate fell from 8.2 percent in March to 8.1 percent in April. But that was mainly because more people gave up looking for work.
People who aren't looking for jobs aren't counted as unemployed.
The 115,000 jobs added in April were fewer than the 154,000 jobs created in March, a number the government revised up from its first report a month ago of 120,000. It also marked a sharp decline from December through February, when the economy averaged 252,000 jobs per month.
The percentage of adults working or looking for work has fallen to its lowest level in more than 30 years. Many have become discouraged about their prospects.
Here's what The Associated Press' reporters are finding:
Over time, strong economic growth is vital for strong job growth.
But early this year, hiring accelerated much faster than economic growth did. Job gains averaged a strong 229,000 in the first three months. By contrast, the economy grew at a sluggish annual rate of 2.2 percent.
Economists began to wonder: Would growth catch up with hiring? Or would hiring slow to match economic growth (as measured by gross domestic product, or GDP)?
Some analysts say April's disappointing job growth suggests an answer, and it's not a cheerful one:
"It now appears that jobs have decelerated into line with GDP, rather than GDP accelerating to catch up with jobs," said Nigel Gault, an economist at IHS Global Insight.
The job market seems to look better with hindsight.
The Labor Department has revised job growth upward for 10 straight months - and for 18 of the past 21. Over the past 10 months, it's added 413,000 jobs to the original estimates.
The job figures are revised twice. They're updated in the two months after they first come out. And they're revised again in an annual update meant to capture updated employment data from the states.
History shows that the updated totals typically follow the trend in job creation: When the economy is creating jobs consistently, the revisions tend to be positive. Months of job losses typically lead to negative revisions.
A falling unemployment rate would seem to be good news for President Barack Obama's re-election hopes. Dating to 1956, no incumbent president has lost when unemployment fell in the two years leading to an election.
On Election Day, unemployment will almost surely be less than it was two years earlier: 9.8 percent in November 2010.
But for the past two months, the rate has fallen for the wrong reason: More than 500,000 Americans have stopped looking for jobs and are no longer counted as unemployed. Job growth averaged a healthy 252,000 from December through February. It slowed to 135,000 in March and April.

This is an older style motel with self-contained units including a separate kitchen and bathroom suite. The unit had been re-furbished and was clean, spacious and comfortable and fully met our needs during our stay. The free WiFi offered a strong signal and good speed on connection. The Owner / Manager was an excellent host.
None significant.

Ah yes, those amazing seventies. I had just graduated from college when this issue came out! You have a little bit of everything from "The Fight for Human Rights" to "Elvis" in those amazing Life photographs. If the articles aren't enough then how about those vintage ads for Minolta, Magnavox and Rolex! This magazine is in excellent condition with some age-yellowing of its pages as its only flaw.
If you are about 23 years old and reading this description then buy this magazine and read some history!

Inside Apple's iOS 5: Notification Center, banner alertsApple has revamped notifications in iOS 5, adding a pull-down Notification Center, banner alerts at the top of the screen and more detailed lock screen notifications.
Apple Vice President of iOS Software Scott Forstall acknowledged on Monday at the Worldwide Developers Conference that notifications in iOS 4 had several problems. In response to customer and developer requests for an improved notification UI, Apple has developed the Notification Center solution for iOS 5.
Forstall touted the new solution as going "far beyond" simply resolving customer complaints about notifications in iOS. Apple has also tied in its new Reminders app to work smoothly with the Notification Center, allowing for due dates and location-aware alerts.
As before, notifications can be managed within the Settings pane of iOS. Users can choose whether applications can send notifications to the Notification Center and the lock screen. Apple also continues to offer the older alert notifications as a choice alongside the new banner notifications.
Banner notifications are fairly straight forward. Tapping the banner will open the corresponding app directly to the related message or alert.
The lock screen on iOS 5 now displays a list of recent notifications. Users can swipe a notification to be taken straight to the app from the lock screen.
Swiping down from the top of the screen opens the Notification Center, which sorts notifications by app. Apple has built a location-aware weather display and a stock ticker into Notification Center. The new iMessage feature, which allows unlimited messaging between iOS 5 devices, also makes ample use of notifications, though the feature appears to still be in development.
iOS 5 sports 200 new user features and 1500 new developer APIs. In addition to Notification Center, notable features include PC Free setup; updated mobile Safari with private browsing and tabs on the iPad and integration with iCloud for wireless syncing. The update wil be compatible with the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, iPod touch (fourth generation) and iPod touch (third generation) this fall, though some features may not be available on all products.
On Topic: iPhone
- BlackBerry sells just 1.6M smartphones in Q4 as software, services grow
- JP Morgan predicts Apple will stick with LCD, not OLED, for 'iPhone 7'
- Samsung Galaxy S6 comes with 56 apps preinstalled, including Instagram & Microsoft OneDrive
- Amazon debuts new unlimited Cloud Drive plans, Beatport comes to iOS
- Twitter launches rebranded Periscope app for live video broadcasting

Dear WAMC Listeners,Today marks 12 years since 9/11. Two years ago, I was in New York City for the 10th Anniversary of the "Attack on America."I wanted to share this important story with you once again.
There was a moment after 9/11 when almost all Americans realized what could be lost to an enemy intent on destroying our people and our institutions. As time has passed, so too has much of this sentiment. Americans may be patriotic, but patriotism is generally not in the forefront of their thinking. There are, however, some Americans who consider any form of patriotic expression jingoism or misguided public sentiment.
Students, faculty, and staff of the SUNY college here gathered at Hawkins Pond this afternoon, where a memorial to two alumna is placed. On September 11th, Robert Sutcliffe, class of 1984, and William Erwin, class of 1992, died in the collapse of the Twin Towers. In front of the memorial, History Professor Doug Skopp remembers his late students.Many of the students attending the college now were in elementary school when the Twin Towers were destroyed, including Student Association President Charles Sanchez.

ZOA Washington Mission 2012 ...Talking Points Below Tickets
Zionist Organization of America
Wednesday, April 25, 2012 from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM (EDT)
Please give this one day of your year to fight for Israel.
Israel is on the front lines 365 days a year. It is our duty to be on the "front lines" of Capitol Hill
for at least one important action-packed day. We can learn about the current issues being
championed by the ZOA and make a difference with our elected representatives. During this
exciting day, you will:
Under supervision of the Rabbinical Council of Washington, D.C. (Capitol K)
All mission events will be taking place in the Russell Senate Office Building, Room 325, Constitution Ave., & 1st. St. NE.
For more information, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
D.C. Mission Talking Points
Stop U.S. Financial Aid to the Palestinian Authority
ZOA is opposed to giving U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Palestinian Authority (PA) until they fulfill their signed agreements. ZOA supports the Palestinian Accountability Act, H.R. 2457 (Rep. Joe Walsh, R-IL) which has 41 co-sponsors in the House. In the last year, the PA has received more than $550 million in US aid. Since the Oslo process began in 1993, the total is several billion dollars. Since 1993 the PA has failed to fulfill any of its binding obligations, including the following:
They must also cancel the naming of hundreds of schools, streets and sports teams that have been named after Jew-killing terrorists. These intolerable naming practices honor and glorify murder, and encourage young Palestinians to become killers.
The formal written alliance between Fatah, the ruling party of the PA, and the terrorist group Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews, establishes an additional basis to end US aid under current law [Lowey-Kirk language contained in Section 1107 of the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-32)]:
In fact, the PA spends about $120 million each month in Gaza, paying salaries of civil servants.
In addition, the PA has blatantly disregarded the heart of the Oslo accords by unilaterally pursuing UN membership and membership in other international organizations such as UNESCO. US law already requires the ending of contributions to organizations like UNESCO that have acted against the heart of US policy in the region. H. R. 1592, a bipartisan bill sponsored by Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV), requires the termination of all aid to the PA if they continue to pursue unilateral recognition at the UN.
Ø HOUSE: Urge your Representative to co-sponsor H.R.2457 and H.R.1592 to stop funds from going to the PA until they renounce and end their alliance with the Hamas terrorist group and fulfill their signed obligations. Thank the Representative if they have already co-sponsored this legislation.
Ø SENATE: Educate your Senators about this issue and encourage them to introduce legislation to address this issue.
Talking Points:
The Palestinian Authority has never fulfilled any of its written obligations. Palestinian terrorists and terrorist groups continue to operate and continue to arm themselves. Recent headlines show that incitement by the PA continues unabated, for example, leading to the murder of the Fogel family in Itamar last year. (PMW PA incitement to terror prior to the murders in Itamar Mar. 13, 2011).
Even after this brutal murder, PA leaders named a town square after Dalal Mughrabi, who led an attack resulting in the murder of 37 Jews. ('Palestinians honor Fatah terrorist, despite Israel's protests,' Haaretz, March 13, 2011).
Incitement by PA leaders continues on a daily basis. In February, PA President Abbas ("Abbas urges Arabs to fight Judaization of Jerusalem", Jerusalem Post, February 26, 2012) denied any Jewish connection to the holy city.
The PA has refused to negotiate with Israel, and is pursuing unilateral actions in violation of all signed agreements.
Congressional holds on the aid by House Committee chairmen have been temporary, and serve only to slow down the aid. Legislation is required to deny resources to the PA. ("US lawmakers release some aid to Palestinians," Jerusalem Post, March 24, 2012)
Aid to the PA is finding its way to Gaza and even to Hamas officials. ("PA 'spent $7 billion' in Gaza since split," Maan News Agency, March 24, 2012)
The United States is currently experiencing significant budgetary pressures, but gives more than half a billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Palestinian Arabs. This is an annual bailout of a terrorist, corrupt foreign regime that is inimical to the interests of the United States and its allies and interests in the region. A March, 2012 poll (Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research) of Palestinians showed that more than half of all respondents preferred to get more money from the international community as opposed to taxing themselves or cutting the PA payroll.
Further, from 1950-2011 the U.S. has given an additional $4 billion to the Palestinian Arabs through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Despite these robust U.S. financial contributions, not to mention Israel giving all of Gaza and half of Judea and Samaria (West Bank), where 99% of Palestinian Arabs live, to the PA during the many signed agreements over the last 19 years (Oslo I, Oslo II, Hebron, Wye River, etc.), Palestinian Arab terrorism, violence, lawlessness, extremism, and radical Islamist ideology have flourished. The PA is undeserving of continued U.S. financial assistance. Giving them U.S, funds simply sends them the message that the U.S. supports their anti-peace, anti-Israel behavior and policies.
Countering the Islamic Republic of Iran
The ZOA strongly opposes the acquisition of a military nuclear capability by Iran, which would be an extreme danger to both the US and Israel. To accomplish that end, the ZOA supports continued and ongoing economic and diplomatic sanctions, as well as the credible use of military force should it be necessary, aimed at neutralizing the threat from Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Ø HOUSE: Urge your Representative to co-sponsor H.R. 3783, "Countering Iran in the Western Hemisphere Act." (Introduced by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), with 75 cosponsors)
Ø HOUSE: Urge your Representative to co-sponsor H.Res.271, "Expressing support for the State of Israel's right to defend Israeli sovereignty, to protect the lives and safety of the Israeli people, and to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran." (Introduced by Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX), with 69 cosponsors)
Ø SENATE: Urge your Senators to adopt related legislation as soon as possible.
Urge Members of both houses to support robust enforcement of existing sanctions and to pass new sanctions in order to keep the pressure on Iran.
Talking Points:
• Iran has publicly called for the destruction of both the US and Israel.
· Iran has been actively attacking US interests and assets since 1979.
• There is bi-partisan consensus that it is U.S. policy to prevent, not contain, a nuclear -armed Iran.
· There is a major difference between stopping the Iranians from developing a nuclear weapon, which the President has announced is US policy, and stopping the development of a nuclear weapons capability, which is the bi-partisan policy of Congress.
• Iran has nearly achieved a nuclear weapons capability. Tehran continues to defy all international demands that it suspend nuclear enrichment and continues to either ignore diplomatic overtures or exploit such overtures to delay decisive action.
• Time is running short to stop Iran through conventional military actions, as their known nuclear research and development facilities are buried deep underground and within months critical components may be beyond the reach of Israeli weapons.
• Iran is pursuing cooperation with Latin American countries by signing economic and security agreements in order to create a network of diplomatic and economic relationships to lessen the blow of international sanctions and oppose Western attempts to constrict its ambitions.
• Iran has used its proxies in Latin America to raise revenues through illicit activities, including drug and arms trafficking, counterfeiting, money laundering, forging travel documents, pirating software and music, and providing haven and assistance to other terrorists transiting the region.
• The February 2012 IAEA report confirming that Iran's uranium enrichment program continues unabated is yet another reminder that time is running out to prevent Iran from achieving its goals.
• An Iranian nuclear weapons capability will embolden Iran's regional allies including Hezbollah and Hamas and would likely spur a nuclear arms race in the region and beyond.
· Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and other counties in the region may feel compelled to develop nuclear weapons if Iran is not stopped at once, causing a dangerous Mideast Arms race which could dramatically destabilize the area.
• The United States must strengthen every preventative option, including the threat of military action, and make clear its support of the State of Israel should Israel deem military action necessary. As terrible as any military action might be, failure to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons would be far worse.
• There can be no scenario where Iran is allowed to achieve a nuclear weapons capability and still be "deterred" from its regional hegemony aspirations and its anti-US, anti-West, anti-Israel activities:
· Non Proliferation efforts in the region would be at an end
· Iranian behavior against US interests in the region would be unrestrained
· Iran would be able and possibly willing to share nuclear technology with terrorist groups and regimes including Al Qaeda, Hamas and Syria.
• The Iranians have demonstrated continued progress in the ballistic missile field, including the launch of a 110 lb. observation satellite into orbit in February 2012. The technology to launch a satellite is essentially identical with the capability to launch an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile.
• The United States must establish a strong U.S. posture, policy, and relationship with Latin American countries to protect U.S. interests and assets in the Western Hemisphere.
Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act
The "Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act" (H.R. 1006) has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN). It has the bi-partisan support of 54 other members of Congress. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) introduced the Senate companion bill (S. 1622) with 4 co-sponsors. This act restates existing U.S. law (Public Law 104-45) which was first passed by overwhelming majorities in the House (374-37) and Senate (93-5) as the "Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995." Thus the Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act states that it is U.S. policy:
Every six months the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations have invoked the waiver clause of the original 1995 legislation to avoid implementing this law.
This current bill:
Ø HOUSE: Urge your Representatives to cosponsor this vital legislation. (H.R. 1006) Thank them if they have already done so.
Ø SENATE: Urge your Senators to cosponsor this vital legislation. (S.1622) Thank them if they have already done so.
Talking Points:
Countries which are opposed to Israel have interpreted the U.S. refusal to move the embassy to Jerusalem as a lack of legitimacy for Israel's claim to the ancient city. United States actions must not give legitimacy to illegitimate claims by countries around the world regarding Jerusalem. The US must move its embassy to Israel's capital city, Jerusalem, just as the US has its embassy in the capital city for every other country it has relations with.
When the eastern half of the city was under Jordanian Arab control from 1948 to 1967
· The Western Wall of the Temple Mount was turned into a garbage dump;
· 58 Jewish synagogues were dynamited and destroyed;
· The Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, the oldest and largest in the world, was destroyed. The gravesite stones were used for roads and latrines by the Jordanian Arabs.
· Eastern Jerusalem was turned into a slum, with virtually no running water, plumbing, and electricity
Majority of the people living in Jerusalem since the mid-1800s have been Jews. The world's most famous travel guide, Baedekers of Germany, published a 1906 edition stating that there were 60,000 people in Jerusalem
Security experts concur that that the security of western Jerusalem cannot be maintained if the PA controls eastern Jerusalem.
This issue retains its importance in the headlines; Last month the State Department repeated its current policy that the US administration does not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
It is imperative that Congress pass this law to ensure that the relocation of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem proceed without delay.
Since its founding in 1897, the Zionist Organization of America has been fighting for the Jewish people and the Land of Israel. Under the leadership of such illustrious presidents as Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, Rabbi Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, and current National President Morton A. Klein, the ZOA has been on the front lines of Jewish activism.
The ZOA is the only organization that documents and exposes Palestinian Arab violations of the Road Map plan. The ZOA leads the efforts on behalf of American victims of Palestinian Arab terrorism. The ZOA's campaigns have repeatedly led to the defeat of hostile critics of Israel who were nominated for important government positions.

Workers Killed In Collapse At Brazilian World Cup Stadium
Originally published on Wed November 27, 2013 7:27 pm
A large portion of a nearly completed soccer stadium has collapsed in Sao Paulo, Brazil, killing at least two people and injuring others. A crane that was installing a large metal structure apparently buckled at the Corinthians Arena, which is slated to host the opening game of the 2014 World Cup.
NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro filed this report for our Newscast unit:
"The workers were putting the final 500-ton piece of the stadium roof on when the accident happened. A giant crane that was lifting the section tipped over crushing the workers. Work has stopped and local reports say it won't resume for at least a month.
"It's the latest setback in the run-up to soccer's biggest tournament. There have been massive budget overruns, delays and allegations of shoddy work at many of the stadiums being built or renovated. Over the summer, violent protests broke out in Brazil, with many demonstrators decrying the cost of holding the World Cup."
Citing firefighter official Mauro Lopes, The Associated Press earlier said that "at least three people died in the accident." (Update at 7 p.m. ET: Officials and other media have clarified that two workers, not three, lost their lives.) The crane had been putting the final section of the stadium's structure into place, according to the AP.
In a statement expressing "heartfelt condolences" to the workers' families, FIFA, soccer's international governing organization, says local and national officials will carry out an investigation into the cause of the collapse.
"We know the safety of all workers has always been paramount for all the construction companies contracted to build the 12 FIFA World Cup stadiums," FIFA's statement reads.
