My wife and I stayed in one of the villas the night we were married. We decided to return this last weekend when we were in town for the Keith Urban concert (which was great) and this time we had a villa with a bay view. The room was spacious, clean and had a spectacular view. We could walk to everything we needed and we could just sit on the porch and admire the city and the bay. The huge shower with two shower heads was also great. Service was excellent, we ordered breakfast and it was great. I hope we don't wait another 16 years to come back!

Details about 1968 68 Z28 Camaro Chevy Original MO 302 Block and Steel Crankshaft Crank SBC !See original listing
Item condition:
Dec 04, 2011
Starting bid:
[ 0 bids ]
Item location:
Central New Jersey, United States
1968 Z28 Chevy Camaro original MO block and crankshaft in nice used condition. Crankshaft is still standard size with no measurable wear. No repairs or previous machining of any kind are apparent upon visual inspection. I did find a harmless small chip on the bottom of one cylinder bore . The long studs for the windage tray are also in place on the main bearing cap bolts. Everyone welcome to drop by the shop and inspect this for yourself. All original stampings are fully intact including the vin number. This is an increasingly rare and desirable, 100% genuine MO 68 302 two bolt main block and forged steel crank(1178) and could probably be used with only a cleanup hone job and polish the crank. The original cylinder bores do have a slight ridge at the top .
Feel free to make an offer on the block, crank, or both.
We can ship this via freight provided buyer makes the arrangements.
Check us out - TrentonHotRod.com
I opened up the box and inspected the crank, and found the forging number . It is 1178, and it is very hard to see, but is there. I also measured the crank journals and the mains measure 2.447, and the rods 2.100. Still standard! Also nice finish on the rods and mains both, but some surface rust on a couple of the rod journals,might clean up with a polish or may need the rods only cut to .010.
On Oct-09-11 at 13:31:08 PDT, seller added the following information:
The casting date is July 8th, 1968. The engine code breaks down as: V/07/11/MO V=Flint, 07=July,11=day of month, MO=302.
All I can find on the vin is that it came from Camaro 173,159 out of a total production of 276,124 Camaros in 68. (in 68 the count started at 300,001 and went to 576,124)

Mariopoly with the extras!
Review written by
When I first got the game I realized that it would be my first Mario game on the Wii. Upon checking it out, it plays pretty fair for the first 30 minutes wondering what this game is about, learning and understanding it as a similar board game concept (never played the earlier versions, because have not owned an N64 or Gamecube).
Gameplay was way too tedious and a big bore after playing for more than one hour. Playing with the computer alone can be mind boggling. Playing it with a partner was more fun and more enjoyable (Cpu characters always tend to get better rolls somehow).
The graphics are nothing to shout about as we are seeing SNES styled graphics with some 3D elements, which did look good in some places.
The Atmospheric sound was quite well played as different boards had different themes. Wiimote sounds were also very cute when it's your characters turn and it shouts out. Still it lacked stronger themed character voices in it.

Hitchcock extended through 2013-14
JUN 27, 2012 1:22p ET
The 60-year-old Hitchcock won the Jack Adams Award after producing the franchise's first 100-point season since 2001 and its first postseason series win since 2002. The Blues tied for second overall in the NHL in the regular season and beat San Jose in the playoffs before getting swept by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings.
The playoff berth was just the second in seven seasons for St. Louis, which also won its first postseason games since 2004.
"I feel like we are putting together a quality program," Hitchcock said. "We had a good year finishing where we did in the standings, but this club is not satisfied with our ending and firmly believes we have great things to come."
The Blues were 7-1-2 in the first 10 games under Hitchcock, who replaced Davis Payne in early November. Hitchcock is 11th on the NHL career list with 576 victories and 70 playoff wins.
"Ken came in and immediately steadied our group and was able to get each one of our players to elevate their game," general manager Doug Armstrong said. "He still has the passion and drive to be a head coach in this league and is committed to taking this team to the next level."

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 687 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 Lovely celebration We were staying to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The staff was wonderful. We were surprised when room service came to deliver a bottle of champagne , when we informed her that we didn't drink alcohol she returned with a bottle of apple cider. So wonderful. We were sitting by the pool and the towel girl asked why we were staying and told her we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary. She later showed up with a plate of chocolate dipped strawberries. So wonderful. All in all we had a wonderful time. Very top notch! August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vandy2756 Exceptional Stay We have stayed here every summer for the past 9 years because of Starwood brand loyalty and the beautiful facilities. In the past there has been unexpected service issues but the culture of this hotel has improved dramatically. Our expereince the last two years has been exceptional. All staff members go out of their way to make sure everything is right. The butler service is outstanding and Julianna is the reason we came back the last two years. Its our kids favorite place and we will be coming back again in August. June 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ALJ2013 Incredible Experience at St Regis Monarch Beach My wife and I recently had a wonderful 3 night stay at the St Regis Monarch Beach and it was an exceptional experience in all aspects..the suite was beautiful, comfortable and offered an incredible view of ocean and resort. The staff at every level was warm, knowledgeable and more than accommodating no matter the request. Dined at Stonehill Tavern and it was truly and culinary event! Everything about the St Regis Monarch Beach made for a wonderful resort experience and I highly recommend it for individuals and groups. September 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Letitia outstanding! I travel for a living and stay in hotels all over the country & canada. Every once in awhile the staff at one hotel will blow my mind with their kindness and hospitality. This year, The St Regis was one of those hotels. In particular, Jesse James in the salon went above and beyond to make my stay perfect. I am a performer and had forgotten a few things for my trip, the salon went to extremes to fill all of my needs. The St Regis is not only beautiful on the outside, but even more so from within! Hats off to you! December 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sweetieface A Special Place The St. Regis offered a perfect place for my family to gather for a memorable weekend. The staff in most gracious, and our stay was superb! We are all set for our return on an annual basis! April 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve Fantastic Employees Who Care The positive experience started at the front desk with Anita that worked so hard to provide us an upgrade to our room to enhance our stay. It carried over to Giuliani, our Butler, who made sure we were always taken care of. Calling into In Room Dining always made you feel special. A Bartender that makes an unbelievable Jalapeño Margarita and makes sure it is perfect. The parking staff that made a Dodge Charger feel like a Maserati. These are personal experiences that bring you back. A sincere thank you to all. March 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Knuckleballer This is the best hotel I've ever been in. The service was outstanding. The staff was superb and courteous. My only regret is my own fault: I brought several cameras to try to capture the beauty of the resort, but my tendonitis of my knee kept me in bed with ice on my knee all the time I was not in the meeting(Aesthetic Medicine). I still got a few pictures of sunst from my balcony, but I missed out on the botanical gardens and beach. I hope I get to return to the resort in the near future with good health, so I can avail myself of more of the resort. May 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by AndreaG Not As Expected The St Regis Monarch Beach resort is a beautiful hotel on a lovely beach, but that is not without some qualms. For a 5 star resort one expects total relaxation. The staff, although friendly and accommodating, seemed to not know what was going on. I had to tell them several times that parking was included in my rate. The reception desk kept saying no, then I asked someone else and they said yes you are absolutely correct. Things like this kept happening - an $80 repulsive meal at motif, and housekeeping even walked in while I was in a towel, although I said not to come in! Regardless, this did not ruin my trip and the hotel was very pretty. I think it will be a one time visit, though, since I know other properties are much more fun and relaxing! Not what I expected from St.Regis! September 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Texas123 Some good, but a chasm to other St. Regis hotels The good; food, location, lay out of hotel, and wait staff at Motif, heated pools and one designated for children and adults only. The bad; upgrade for rooms compared to other St. Regis was arduous and not as spacious. Many missed service opportunities. Small stuff that St. Regis normally does not miss. I.e. Golf clubs not ready for tee time, wait on car for valet, no milk delivered with coffee and golf has no range!!! $35 a day for valet parking at a resort that is not down town is ridiculous..watch out! March 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SSSS Hotel Staff Was Overwhelmed Stayed at the St. Regis for a wedding, there were 5 weddings on one day and the place was a mad house.! I requested an early check in months prior but didn't get into my room until 3:30 and had to rush to get ready in time for the ceremony. The front desk and valet was understaffed and we had to wait in line for everything! Once we got into the room everything was fine but for being a St. Regis property I would have thought they would have been better prepared to accomodate guests on such a busy weekend. May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimberlie This hotel greatest feature was it's STAFF I am a world traveler and I have to say, the beautiful hotel and gardens aside. ALL the STAFF at the The St. Regis Monarch Beach were the nicest and most professional I have ever had the pleasure meeting. i was with the Met Life conference and let me say "I will be back and highly recommend to everyone" April 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MMHollywood Missed the Mark Great hotel and generally really great service. However, as a Platinum was told I was upgraded to a higher floor with a view. Ended up on 2nd floor with a tree right in front of our room. Wanted to have drinks on the patio for sunset and took forever to get a waiter and then even longer to get our wine. Final complaint was that the AC was very inadequate. No matter how low we turned it down, the room never got below 75. Just expect more from a luxury collection property having stand in many of them. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TSGG Best service I have ever experienced! We visited St. Regis Monarch Beach to relax, unwind and enjoy quiet time together. We could not have chosen a better place! From Monica at the Front Desk to Veronica in in-room dining to Raul at the lobby bar, every employee seemed thrilled to be at work and went out of their way to make our weekend getaway extra special. I have never experienced such warm, attentive, genuine service. The spa is equally amazing. If you can request and book Yolanda, do it - she gave me the best massage of my life. November 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by nwabor A self contained haven that must be experienced! St Regis Monarch Beach from start to finish is hands down a must do at least once! I say at least once, only because once experienced, you would be compelled to revisit. This property has become one of my family's favorite because it never disappoints and one always has fun no matter how many times you visit. The staff is outstanding with a high level commitment to excellence. The GM is hands on, welcoming and accessible. One realizes very quickly upon arrival that you are welcomed by a team of highly dedicated staff committed to ensuring you have an excellent stay. The staff are engaging and always happy to suggest, help or arrange any number of activities both in and outside of their facility. My family and l always come to this property when we feel a need to rejuvenate and be pampered. April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarkRogers One of a kind experience I have stayed at this hotel many times, and for my most recent stay we were celebrating our anniversary. The hotel went out of it's way to recognize our return and our special day, provided us with an upgraded room and added special and personalized amenities to our room. Michael the Butler was simply outstanding, as he was on our last stay. The Beach Club lunch was great, and even the guys driving the trams to and from the club were great. Just a wonderful experience at a truly special resort. April 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kiki0924 Good hotel, but needs to get its HVAC and room fixtures in order But needs to control the HVAC within the public corridors better and needs to focus on making sure the fixtures in the rooms work. The hotel is on the Pacific Coast and the temperature on average was less than 70 degrees F. Air conditioner does not need to be run at the maximum. Someone needs to examine the fixtures in the hotel room, e.g. the shower heads, the drainage, the remote controls, the light bulbs, and repair or replacement when necessary. The hotel should not rely on a guest to report a problem to the hotel to get it fix, e.g. shower head. It was fixed promptly by the engineer, but is was an inconvenience to have the engineer to have to come in, inspect, go back out to get the part, come back, replace the part, and then leave; when I told the hotel the shower needed to be replace.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Familytravel Beautiful location, A bit disappointed regarding Platinum recognition I was very disappointed in the platinum benefits at this property. As a family weekend away we attempted to use our suite upgrade certificates and the only suite that is allowed for an upgrade at this property has a king bed. There is an additional charge to upgrade to an Astor or St. Regis suite. The pool service was extremely slow. On a positive note It is a beautiful location and the staff at the Bay Club and Motif's were excellent. They do have a tram to the beach which the kids enjoyed. January 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kingwines Nice hotel but we were stuck in a corner Took my wife for a weekend getaway. Longtime SPG member and used points for this stay. Not sure if that is the reason, but they stuck us in the room directly by the door to the pool (I think the only door, if not the main door) and the room faced a wall. No light due to the wall but heavy pool/outside traffic. I think it was the actual worst room location on the property. The "adult" pool had more kids than adults. Other than that, wonderful hotel with great staff. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pasadena2007 In Room Dining and carpets Overall the St. Regis is a fabulous hotel, but I was disappointed in two respects. First, we booked this hotel for an anniversary weekend with our children and orderd room service. Having infant twins and a toddler withus, we decided to forgoe going the restaurant and risk ruining everyone's dinner evening. As such, we ordered room service for our anniversary dinner. The taste and quality of the food (at prices this hotel charged) was subpar. The steak was dry and flavorless. There was awedding that eveining, seemed like they just grabbed a steak from the reception and put it on my plate. Due to this experience, didn't order in room dining out of fear of getting disappointed again. Second, for whatever reason the carpet in the room always felt damp. Just couldn't get comfortable walking without slippers. September 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by desperado great hotel but some things are lacking the hotel in general is great. Here are some things that can be significantly improved. The shuttle to the beach was very unreliable and the wait while we were there was extremely long. The main pool was totally un supervised. You have a children's pool which is empty and the main pool is filled with young children throwing footballs , jumping in the pool and making chaos. That was really a problem, it was worse than that but that I can leave to your imagination August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sparky59 Excellent LA Getaway From the moment you pull up to this resort hotel, to the moment you depart, the staff caters to your every need, anticipating many of them. From the bottled water, which seems to be everywhere, free of charge, to the endless amenities, this resort is a great place to come to decompress from your busy life, even if only for a day. The rooms are tasteful with walkout balconies, and the bathrooms are the highlight. It's an expensive place to stay, but if you have it, it's worth it. July 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sausage just okay 2 connecting rooms for 2 nights - of course check in messes up and still trying to sort it out. no spg recognition. had a cabana for one day - overpriced and not worth it unless pool is totally packed. food and drink is way overpriced. just okay. prefer the st regis in san francisco and kauai. food choice is limited. light out in each of the room, big stain on carpet in each of the room. a/c is loud and either too cold or too worm. redeeming grace is how fast the tub fills up. August 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by kerley5 Back to the Original Grandeur! 2 years ago, we had a horrible stay at the Regis. The service was poor and the food and beverage establishments were not up to par. In May, 2013 we attended an event at the hotel and decided to stay over night. The service, accommodations and food were fabulous. It is so nice to have the hotel back to the amazing property that it was when it opened. The many ownership changes have taken its toll but I believe that the current owners have the right idea and the Regis is BACK! May 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Beach2014 Hotel great but spa needs improving We have stayed at many St. Regis Hotels and always love them but this hotel was not as amazing as the rest. While the room and service met expectations the spa was not at the same level as the other St. REgis properties we have stayed at. I found the spa dirty, unkempt and inefficient. The showers were dirty and had towels and used razors left inside. Overall, our visit was nice but had a higher expectation due to our previous experiences with St. Regis and Starwood. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chas100 St Regis is the ideal spot for a conference The St Regis Monarch Beach Resort is the ideal facility for a business conference. The meeting rooms are spacious, yet comfortable, the sound system is first rate. The hotel staff is courteous and efficient. The hotel has oustanding living accomodations. The rooms are clean, comfortable, the beds are so comfortable that it is easy to sleep in! The grounds are well maintained with great running paths and reasonable access to the beach. The health club and spa are first rate September 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by anon0715 Our favorite place to get away! Less than a 2 hour drive from our home - this is our favorite place to use our SPG points and get away! Very romantic, comfortable, and luxurious. We feel like we're much farther from home! May 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by travellovers Beautiful hotel This is a beautiful hotel that is very dog friendly. There is a great 2-mile walking loop that took us through a lovely park, along the beach and next to the golf course. The spa is superb with an outdoor lap pool. We like this hotel, but there are several issues that would discourage us from returning: $24 a day to self-park with no in/out privileges; uncomfortable beds; the spa pool is the only place to get away from screaming children; and there is no casual restaurant for dinner. The weekend we went, there were 5 weddings, which meant the only food option we had one night was the lounge--which has a very limited tapas menu (one of the items was not available, making it even more limited). Two other nights we just did room service, which although very expensive was the best food we ate the whole time we were there. May 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by koihsdvoihsdvoih Check Out Debacle We were told that check out had to be at noon as the hotel was busy. We called for the car at 11:40 am, called for the porter at 11:55 am. Finally got our bags at about 12:45 pm, the car not until 12:55 pm. We were waiting on the curb outside the hotel for 55 minutes. The departure was a completely disorganized, chaotic event which could very easily have been mitigated by better management. When there was an anticipated high volume period, it would seem that the hotel management was unprepared and made no contingency plan and in fact demonstrated no concern regarding the comfort of their guests. I suspect it was not the intention of the hotel to toss us onto the curb to wait for a car for an hour - yet that was the service which was rendered. An otherwise fine stay was spoiled by poor planning and worse execution. February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fatty416 Romantic Getaway My husband and I decided to spend a weekend away from our home in San Diego. Upon our arrival, we were checked in by Kimber....Wow, what a difference a great receptionist makes!!! She was welcoming, helpful and just a joy to interact with. Our room was small but nice and clean. I was a little disappointed with the bath tub (fully expected a jetted tub). We took the tram to the private beach and driver was courteous. We had drinks at the lounge.....not the best drinks but the service was great. Our dinner at Stonehill Tavern was amazingly delicious. Our server Chris was humorous and helpful and Jenny, the mixologist whipped up some incredible drinks for the two of us. Overall, it was a very relaxing and pampered weekend and we've already planned on returning in August with our two daughters to spend an extended weekend. March 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by HoosierDaddy Food and Beverage The single feature that downgraded this facility was the pervasive culture of indifference in the pool, restaurant and bar - food and beverage. Bartenders moving like a herd or snails, servers talking rather than serving, attendants gazing into the distance and meals a 2 - 2 1/2 hour grind. Exception - Sunday brunch crew - exceptional leadership & service. October 20, 2014

"We really wanted something clean that didn't have our picture on it. I bought these because it's still a personal touch but that way I have thank you cards for the shower too and we don't have to wait to start thank yous long after our wedding. They are a great quality and elegant, we did not pick the entire suite, our save the dates, and invitations are actually in 2 other suites unrelated to this one. We have a early 1900's feel o our wedding and these were perfect."
"This card is beautiful! It is more perfect in person than it appears on the website. The paper is very good quality card stock and the printing is crisp."
"I love how this card turned out! It was fun being able to pick out several photos to share with our wedding guests. Because the photos are smaller, they did not require really high resolution photos like the one photo cards. We haven't received photos from our photographer yet, so I was able to use the photos that she had uploaded to her site (a slightly lower resolution). The pictures were clear and perfect!"
"I was very pleased with the weight and "linen" feel of the paper of these cards. I ordered the grey with "silver" printing and the grey color is very pretty. The silver trim isn't metalic, but still gives you the impression it is. My daughter is very pleased with these. They were a good option to keep costs down rather than purchase the thank you cards which matched her more expensive foil pressed invitations."
"The cards where easy to customize and WPD where very swift with making the changes and send us a proof to review and approve. When we ordered the matching invitations we had some major customization done since we are Swedish and wanted all the text in Swedish and also writing on the back. WPD where extremely easy to work with than and also this time. The paper has a very nice, thick and somewhat structured feel that looks expensive. Its thick enough so that a thin pen wouldn't show from the other side when writing your note on the inside. I love this design and I can't wait to send them to our guests after the wedding."

HINESBURG/FERRISBURGH — There's a new brand of organic milk hitting the shelves in stores around Vermont from a Ferrisburgh farm that after years producing high-quality milk is now also bottling it and sending it to retailers.
Kimball Brook Farm has been milking 200 Jersey and Holstein cows and selling to the national market for 15 years. But when Cheryl and J.D. DeVos flipped the switch at their small Hinesburg bottling plant on May 17, they were marking a major transition to processor and distributor of their own milk.

If you've been reading the news this week, you'd know the connection between the Walt Disney Company recent action and one proposed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The former will banish junk-food advertising from its television shows for kids, and the latter is considering a plan to ban oversized sugary drinks. Both are addressing the obesity epidemic that is sweeping the nation.
And with good cause.
A few years back at an Addison forum devoted to whether the Addison Northwest Supervisory Union should unite under one-board governance, a resident asked rhetorically whether bigger government ever made things better.
Never mind school unification: Given more recent history, that question now looks a little ironic.
After all, the town of Addison and local residents and businesses just happily spent money to celebrate the opening of the new $70 million bridge across Lake Champlain.
The aging of Vermont's population is a well-known finding from the 2010 U.S. Census. Vermont has the second-oldest population of any state, behind only Maine. If current trends continue, Vermont could well be the oldest state in the nation by 2020.
It was one of the hardest phone calls I'd ever had to make.
We'd been seeing each other since last fall. Now it had finally become clear that things just weren't going to work out.
Even when you know you've got to end it, though, it's always hard to tell the other party.
Our relationship had seemed so right at first.
ADDISON COUNTY — On Wednesday, May 30, at 2:40 a.m. Vermont State Police checked on a suspicious vehicle parked at an auto dealer/repair shop in New Haven Junction. The shop was closed.
The trooper found the driver, identified as Ryan Doody, 36, of Woodland, Maine, asleep at the wheel with the engine running, the vehicle in drive and his foot on the brake. Doody immediately denied being the one operating the vehicle.
VERGENNES — Vergennes police issued two citations for driving under the influence of alcohol between May 28 and June 3, both while on grant-funded patrols on Route 7 in Ferrisburgh. Both citations followed stops for speeding.
On May 28, city police cited Matthew Randall, 25, of Essex Junction, for DUI after stopping his car for traveling 52 mph in a 40 mph zone. Police allege his blood-alcohol content tested at 0.102 percent at the Vergennes station. The legal limit for driving is 0.08 percent.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police assisted a local man who was the target of a phone scam on May 30. Police said the man was told that he had won a Mercedes and $700,000 and all he had to do was send in a $500 money order to claim the prizes.
Authorities are again warning people not to share their private financial information with others promising something too good to be true.

LINCOLN ﻗ Ask any professional boxer what the toughest part of their craft is and the answer is pretty much unanimous.
Itﻗs not the fights themselves, nor is it the months of training and sparring they devote prior to those bouts.
Rather, itﻗs the 24-48 hours before they have to weigh in on the day before their fights, and if you needed any proof of that, all you had to do was check out Thursday afternoonﻗs final weigh-in and press conference at the Wicked Good Bar & Grillﻗs back room at Twin River.
The dozen boxers who are featured on tonightﻗs ﻗPride & Powerﻗ card downstairs at the Twin River Event Center were milling around, taking their turns on the scale, making sure their final paperwork was completed, and posing for a couple of pictures with their opponents.
Most of them spent their entire week doing everything in their power to drop down to their respective fight weights. Now they appeared drained, hungry, and almost listless, and some took a quick glance or two at the buffet that was being set up in the corner of the room, but knew that theyﻗd have to wait a bit before they could invade it.
ﻗThis is the worst,ﻗ said Peter Manfredo Jr., who plummeted to 169 pounds for his fight against Lincoln resident Rich Gingras in tonightﻗs marquee 10-round main event. ﻗIt sucks. You canﻗt eat, itﻗs hard to sleep, and you go to bed with cottonmouth and things like that, and this is definitely something where you need willpower.
ﻗThis is why (boxers) are strongminded people, and when I say strongminded, I mean, you know how much torture it is when you sit in a sauna when youﻗre dehydrated and you need to take six or seven pounds off because you have no choice? That why we are who we are. Weﻗre fighters.ﻗ
Gingras, who is the owner and head trainer at Fight 2 Fitness on Blackstone Avenue in Pawtucket, agreed about the difficulty of making weight, but offered a different reason as to why the days before the weigh-in are difficult and trying.
ﻗI lose weight pretty easily,ﻗ admitted Gingras. ﻗI have the diet right down, so itﻗs easy for me now. But Iﻗm a workaholic, so itﻗs more sitting around with the extra time on my mind thatﻗs more aggravating to me. You think a lot, and I like to be preoccupied.ﻗ
Manfredo, who is dedicating the fight to Gary Balletto, the former EBA and IBU lightweight champion from Cranston who was paralyzed from the waist down in an accident at his home in July, will be seeking the 40th victory of his brilliant career, one that is highlighted by the IBO world middleweight title he won in 2010.
ﻗI have to box this kid,ﻗ admitted Manfredo, who is 39-7 (20 KOs). ﻗObviously, Rich is coming to win, and obviously, heﻗs a tough kid, but heﻗs not on my level. The Peter Manfredo Jr. of old is coming out one more time tonight; hopefully, he will, and he wins big for Gary Balletto.ﻗ
While Manfredo traditionally has a strong group of loyal fans in attendance at each of his fights, Gingras admitted that heﻗll have 300 backers in his corner, most of them sporting the red ﻗFight 2 Fitnessﻗ t-shirts that had become a common sight at his last four fights at Twin River.
ﻗI just canﻗt wait to get in there and have some fun,ﻗ added Gingras, who is 13-3-1 (8 KOs), 3-1-1 over the past 14 months and since he ended a 2 1/2-year layoff from the sport to concentrate on opening his gym. ﻗAll the hard workﻗs done and now itﻗs time to fight.ﻗ
Fighting in the co-feature is four-time womenﻗs world champion Jaime ﻗThe Hurricaneﻗ Clampitt. It will be the Warwick lightweightﻗs first bout in three years, and itﻗs expected to be her farewell fight, capping a marvelous career that has seen her produce a 21-5-1 (7 KOs) record. Clampitt will fight Dominga Olivo (8-8-1) of Brooklyn, N.Y. in a six-round duel.
The four fights on the undercard will also have a Rhode Island flavor to each of them, and two of them are six-round fights that feature Cranston natives and promise to attract lots of interest.
Fan favorite Arthur ﻗThe Armenian Assassinﻗ Saribekian, who will be fighting for the first time in a decade, will step into the ring for in a ﻗspecial attractionﻗ bout against fellow heavyweight Jesse Barboza (6-1-1, 4 KOs) of Hyannis, Mass., and welterweight and Gary Balletto-protegee Nick DeLomba (2-0) will clash with Carlos Hernandez (3-2-1, 2 KOs) of Bridgeport, Conn. and also dedicate his fight to Balletto.
Providence middleweight and East Providence High alumnus K.J. Harrison-Lombardi (3-0-1) will look to ruin the pro debut of Mike Rodriguez of Springfield, Mass. in their four-round matchup, and Providence light middleweight Publio Pena (1-1, 1 KO) will also look to pass a four-round test against Antonio Marrero (0-1) of Hartford, Conn.
ﻗNow is the easy part,ﻗ added Manfredo. ﻗNow we can drink and eat all we want tonight and relax and then go put on a show for the people tomorrow.ﻗ
A sellout is expected, and very few standing room only, $61, and $101 tickets are available. They can be purchased by calling CES (724-2253/2254), going online at www.cesboxing.com or www.ticketmaster.com, or visiting the Players Club at Twin River. The doors open at 6 p.m. and the first bout is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Twin River has also waived its 18-plus rule for the show, and everyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied at all times by an adult and enter the casino through the West entrance.

|ESPN.com: Rise
|[Print without images]
Rashard Mendenhall has come a long way since appearing starring as a senior at Niles West (Skokie, Ill.) back in 2004. Five years later, he's a running back for the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. We caught up with Mendenhall to discuss the Champion Gridrion Kings, his high school playing days and life in the NFL.
ESPN RISE: What advice will you give to the players at the Gridiron Kings?
Rashard Mendenhall: One of the more important things is decision making. A lot of guys have that talent, but college is where a lot of people decide where they're going to be, who they're going to hang out with and things they're going to do.
RISE: How did you choose Illinois?
Mendenhall: I went there with my brother, Walter, because we wanted to go to the same school. It felt like the right fit. It had the perfect balance between football and school. We liked the program and the campus, and it was close enough to home but not too far away. For me, it felt right on all aspects.
RISE: Was there a moment when you were younger that made you realize you were on to something special?
Mendenhall: I was in sixth grade and I got a toss from like the 15-yard line. And nobody blocked anybody. But I made seven of the other team's guys all miss me. It was a series of jukes. Everybody was like, "Wow, he's going to be the next Barry Sanders." That's when I knew I was real talented.
RISE: What surprised you about life in the NFL?
Mendenhall: It's a lot like college, but just on a grand scale. When you walk around campus, people know you and they'll let you into places and stuff like that. It's just like college, but nationwide.
RISE: After a shoulder injury derailed your freshman season last year, how are preparing for next season? Mendenhall: Nothing too different. I was going through the rehab process, getting my shoulder back and all the motion and strengthening it back up. Now, I'm not feeling anything in my shoulder, so I'm back on a normal schedule, getting prepared for training camp and working on speed, explosion and those kinds of things.

Roses are almost done...is this the peak?
This is my first year gardening here in California. I am not used to having such a lengthy growing season!
I noticed that we are about 2.5 months ahead of where I used to live in Ontario.
I planted quite a few plants in the past year since I have lived here. I am noticing that it seems like things have peaked! The roses are going, but some look like they are almost done.
I can tell that the oleanders will peak soon enough...lavenders are going, as well as the kangaroo paw. But not much else will have any big flushes it seems.
What reliable, drought tolerant plants can I plant to keep some blooms going into June/July/August? I have flowers that are purple, yellow, orange and coral in the garden. I have a lot of variety in foliage which will keep things a little interesting over the long haul I guess...
Usually in Canada we only have about 4 months total of growing time before frosts kill everything back....is it even possible to have perpetual blooming for 8 months out here?
Thanks, and sorry for sounding like such a newbie LOL
Yup, this weekend is the end of the peak. I'll be interested to read what people recommend to extend the season. I have daylilies and true lilies that will begin blooming soon, so I recommend them. Canna lilies, and echinacea. I grow reblooming irises as well- they will bloom again in late summer and/or fall.
Here in northern California, most modern roses will bloom again in about six weeks, but the first bloom in always the best. The old roses with only bloom a year are now approaching full bloom here. I often have roses, the modern teas and florabundas in bloom in the fall usually November when we get the first frost. You will love California gardening. Al
Salvias and sages are heat and sun lovers. Numerous types are at nurseries and a few common types at the big box stores. They attract hummingbirds.
My polygala sweet pea bushes bloom on and off all year.
For ground cover put in some lantana but if you get frost in winter it will go dormant but comes back with a vengence.
If I can't get color I go for textures or grays that minimizes the solid green some. Lavatera is another bloomer most of the summer but gets cut back in late fall.
Butterfly bushes are another that will flower all summer and attract butterflies and hummers
I second the recommendations for salvia and lavanders, they are standbys in my garden. Last summer I noticed a lot of gaura blooming in other people's gardens in the heat of summer, so I plan on adding some to mine this year. I love Santa Barbara Daisies for their long bloom time and how they attract bees and other beneficial insects.
I attached a link to a Sunset article on Mediterranean plants that bloom three seasons out of the year. My little front garden consists of a couple of roses, some ornamental grasses, and then mostly Mediterranean plants, and it looks good most of the year. Usually when one thing stops blooming something else starts, and I like that.
Here is a link that might be useful: sunset article on three season border
Or.....especially since you have such a wide, wide range of plants that may be new to you....your new hobby for awhile could be going to nurseries to see new plants and see 'what's in flower now'. Of course, this can be dangerous for the wallet...but with will power and restraint, it can be done.
If you deadhead your roses, you can prolong the blooming season. Mine were loaded with flowers a few weeks ago, but they will bloom more throughout the spring, summer and fall if I am diligent about deadheading.
As far as drought tolerant plants go, California fuschia and pineapple sage bloom from mid-summer through fall, although pineapple sage can also bloom in the spring. Cistus is starting to bloom now. For blue, you can choose creeping plumbago or electric blue sage (salvia chamaedryoides). Tagese lemonii - mountain marigold produces lots of bright yellow flowers. It grows into a large shrub fairly rapidly.
You would probably enjoy visiting botanic gardens in your area. Also consult the website bewaterwise.com that is run by the Metropolitan Water District. They have lots of photos of drought tolerant plants.
Here is a link that might be useful: Drought tolerant planting
Do any of you grow tecoma smithii? I am wondering if it would be somewhat hardy here in San Jose (SS 15/ zone 9)? It seems to be a later bloomer.
I should look into some different types of sages...I have some bee's bliss, but it is an early bloomer it seems.
My grouping of Johnson's Aloe seems are constantly blooming, so maybe I will get more of those as well :)
I wonder if some of the late blooming daylilies would work as well? If they bloom in September back home, maybe they would peak here in July? They might not be as drought tolerant as the rest of my garden though...
Thanks for all of the input so far, I really appreciate it!
I do have the Sunset book...I read through it before I moved here, and still haven't unpacked all of my boxes LOL I will dig it out and do more looking.
I am almost out of space as it is, but wondered if there were some showstoppers for mid summer for a few empty spots here and there...I will look up the different types of salvias for sure!
I think I am 25-30 degrees, although this winter was pretty harsh and I did lose some succulents that were in an unsheltered location.
Gaillardia and Rudbeckia will bloom through August, but deadheading required. They will re-seed and move around the garden, okay if you have a cottage look, not so much if you like a tidy, orderly garden. Salvia leucantha, or Mexican Sage, is an easy grow, might be a good starter plant for you, fast results. After a number of years they can get really big, but it's easy to whack back or rip out and start over. I hesitate to recommend this one -- Romneya coulteri, or Matilija poppy. They can be finicky to get started, preferring dry, almost gravelly, disturbed soil, though needing some water to establish; but you'll enjoy the big white poppies with the egg-yolk yellow centers. Fair warning -- it can get out of control after a couple of years, and the stems are quite prickly when you start cutting back. The plant will bloom through summer into September, and you might get a kick out of the huge flowers. Don't let it hang around too long in your garden. 2-3 years is enough, and by then you'll be wanting other things in the garden anyway. Have fun. If you don't make any mistakes, you aren't putting your heart into it. ;-)
I'm not sure where you are in zone 15, but here in 17 (one of Sunset's bigger zones that I'd wish they would break up), roses pretty much bloom 3-4x year. They're actually evergreen perennials in the right conditions (like my neighbor's front yard, LOL) and are surprisingly drought-tolerant.
If I don't prune my roses back they look bedraggled by February (winter rains bring on rust) but they still bloom.
What they really like is warm days and cool nights, and good air circulation. And of course, lots of food!
For example, I have a Gingersnap tree rose that has taken almost four years to establish (tree roses definitely take longer to get settled, I've found). I haven't ever pruned it back in winter; it's just getting to the point of being strong enough that I think next year (end of Jan 2014) will be its first pruning.
I had roses on it opening up in mid-February. It hit its peak last week and literally looked like fireworks (and I failed to get a picture, sob!). Now the blooms are getting paler and in a couple of weeks will be gone.
Margaret Merrill is about a week behind. Intrigue was two weeks ahead, Double Delight was one week ahead of Gingersnap. But the Delany Sisters is just hitting its stride and will be in full bloom next week.
In 4-6 weeks it will start all over again. And again...and again........!
When the winters are mild the roses hang on until the bearded iris show up again. This is from December 2011:
Depending on your microclimate, you might be able to keep things going longer than you think. Late summer/early fall, before the rains start, is the hardest time for bloom in CA.
You want to look for plants that can take hot soil. That's why heat lovers like lantana, salvia, ceratostigma, plumbago, cannas, euryops, etc., are prized for not only reasonable drought resistance but also loving that late season heat.
It's just a question of how much frost they can take (or get shielded from, depending on where you site a young plant) in our chilly winters. Rain and wind chill have done in a lot of supposed zone 6 and even zone 5 plants in my garden.
If you have room for a big yellow-leafed plant, I can heartily recommend pineapple sage. It's a 4x4'shrub, but it's the only sage to have survived a spot that has killed four different salvias from winter chill, over the past ten years. Beautiful bright yellow leaves, but the spikes are a fiery true red, so I don't know if it will work in your garden. It has really impressed me - I was about to give up on salvias until I planted this one.

There is ALWAYS something blooming in California! I have lots of different salvias and lavanders and they bloom pretty much nonstop all year long, with a brief break in January.
Your roses are not done, they will bloom 1-3 more times this year if healthy and established!
Your roses will shut down bloom the first couple of summers after planting. Once really established, they can take the heat and the summer flushes can be nearly as good or as good as the spring one. Autumn often produces the best roses of the year. When they are really established, you'll be picking bouquets well into winter.
It can take some getting used to.
In my garden roses, and rose like peonies, bloom in the spring in this order. First the tree peonies, then the modern repeat blooming roses, next the herbaceous peonies and last the heritage bloom only once roses. Of course many other plants also bloom during this period. Al
It is easy to have a garden in bloom year round here in most of the Bay Area, but the winter frost of a zone 15 will tend to make some of the less hardy subtropicals risky without careful siting or covering them. Some virtually everblooming perennials that will give plenty of color in sun all summer into fall might include Alstroemerias such as aurantiaca, Third Harmonic, or dwarfer Princess Series Alstroemerias. Verbenas such as V. bonariensis or V. rigida polaris will bloom all summer into fall. Calandrinia grandiflora will easily bloom from May into October. Salvias come in so many different sizes and colors, but our native Salvia clevelandii can't be beat for both long season of color and fragrance. Another California native to consider might be either some of the Mimulus or Eriogonum grande rubescens. The Zauschneria is also great for late summer bloom with virtually no irrigation needed. Lobelia mexicana is another perennial that can bloom virtually all year long. For winter bloom, be sure to consider Erysimum 'Bowles Mauve', Euphorbia characias, Kniphofia 'Winter Cheer'.
I grow the Tecoma x smithii and love the shrub/small tree for the 10 month long bloom season, but it does need space; the selection T. 'Orange Jubilee' is about half the size. If you love Tecoma smithii's orange color, look for Streptosolen jamesonii, but it is a bit frost tender so plant under an overhang on a south or west facing wall.
I'd also suggest you visit the nurseries with great display gardens such as Rosendales in Watsonville or Annie's Annuals in Richmond. Annie's also hasa great website with lots of pictures and cultivation info. Good luck with transitioning to a 12 months a year gardening climate, the sky is the limit, but you may want to stick with more drought tolerant plants as water is only going to keep getting more expensive and may even be rationed again if this winter's dry patch continues for a few years. There are also quite a few hardier succulents that bloom in summer such as Cotyledon orbiculata longifolia, C. macrantha, the Aloe 'Johnson's Hybrid' which you already discovered. More summer blooming aloes might include A. striatula, reitzii, camperi, africana, etc. Check out the succulent selections at Annie's, Succulent Gardens near Watsonville, and do visit all three of our major local botanic gardens such as UC Santa Cruz, US Berkeley, and SFBG in Golden Gate Park. The Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek is an incredible resource for both plants and ideas for a more drought tolerant style garden, and the Tilden Botanic Garden here in Berkeley has a fabulous collection of natives.
Pls Help!
Instead of deadheading the spent roses after they peaked last week, my gardener did a full scale winter prune ! Chopped them all off to about couple of feet in height. These are established roses. Will they survive this severe a pruning??
What should I do to ensure they live?
All suggestions welcome. Thnx.

What Al said, also tell your gardener not to do that again.
Thanx for all your comments. For sure, I will ask the gardener to stay away from the roses here onwards.
This is my first year gardening in SoCal. Assuming the gardener hadn't hacked off the stems, in normal circumstances when would the next flush of new blooms be expected?
We've been trying to get rid of our roses, but instead they keep blooming every month of the year. We took a bunch of them out and give them to friends but left several so that we would not have holes. We have to trim them back for paths and the prevent them from blocking views of plants we like better, and it seems that the more we cut them, the more they bloom. They were already in the yards when we bought the house - the woman who live here before us had them all over, but we wanted a very different kind of landscape. I've kept the last three or four that we have because they are prolific bloomers, but I like more variety.
In the summer, I have many brilliant succulents blooming - Golden Chalice vine will bloom all year with huge beautiful flowers (might not handle frost, however), and bougainvilleas will bloom all year, if they grow in your area, although they (like hybiscus) are more prolific in spring and fall.
Here's a bromeliad from my back yard, mid July 2012:
Thank-you everyone for all of the great ideas!!
So here's what I will get:
Zauschneria, calindrinia (the flower color perfectly matches the mature bougainvillea I have!!! Thanks Bahia), more Johnsons aloe, more succulents (can never have too many really LOL), I want to get the tecoma smithiii, but cannot find it anywhere, more lantana, and some pineapple sage.
I cannot wait to see if my roses rebloom...but I will be patient :)
I wish I could grow bromeliads here...I wish we didn't have frost in San Jose!!
Jkom51: I cannot believe you made that bouquet in December!! Wow, it is beautiful!
Thanks so very much guys!! I really appreciate all of the input :)

Everything is cheaper in the US.It's the same reason that the cell phone carriers in Canada offer 3 year contracts and US carriers offer 2 year contracts and exact same subsidies on new phones as in Canada.ANSWER: Because they can and people will continue to buy them.
AND there's a 300% retail markup so the average $100 modem costs $25 from the wholesaler.
The retail markup at discount computer stores maxes out at 15-20%. The ISPs selling Docsis 3 at $100 are getting a little more, maybe 30-40%.The manufacturing cost of a Docsis 3 modem is probably higher than $25 before factoring in the distribution channels (shipping and markups).
Well, I've had an independent retailer tell me he paid $25 for a $100 part and if you Google "retail 300% markup" you see it's a common practice. Take the AMD HD7970 - $619 at release, $379 now and the retailer still makes a profit. IMHO It's a racket. Always has been.
Cables and accessories are usually a little higher margin.
AND there's a 300% retail markup so the average $100 modem costs $25 from the wholesaler.
You sure they're making so little? By that standard they'd be making nothing in the United States. Moreover, why doesn't amazon.ca leverage its volume to undercut the high prices in Canada by reducing their prices to amazon.com levels?

Today's Tarot for Ben Affleck
Three Fates
spread is an exceptionally popular way to gain insight into the emerging arc of the past, present, and future. The
Curious Tarot
is the rarest and most unusual of modern decks. The cards form a surreal collage of American consumer imagery, eerily capturing the archetypes of the atomic age. It is the deck of those who seek to harness the ancient tribal energy that courses through the modern urban world. There are only 100 Curious Tarot decks in existence - if you want one,
buy it now
The left card represents an
important element of the past
The Sun
: A time of contentment and freedom from restraints. Creative inspiration. Achievement, success, and warmth. Light and love in personal or business matters. Happiness and faithfulness in a relationship.
The middle card represents a
deciding element of the present
Queen of Wands, when reversed
: The dark essence of fire behaving as water, such as steam: The natural embodiment of passion and sensuality, who will do anything to the be the center of attention. A seducer who calculatingly dons the guise of what others desire. A cocky and domineering person, who pushes anyone or anything aside to get what she wants. One who is vengeful and quick to take offense without good cause. May indicate infidelity and contempt for a relationship.
The right card represents a
critical element of the future
The Empress, when reversed
: Stifling matriarchal influence. Unhappiness, selfishness, poverty and disruption of the home or family. Indecision, paranoia, and jealous rage. Sterility.

Jonathan Stark, an avid Starbucks fan, has begun a guerrilla goodwill campaign called Jonathan's Card that lets anyone buy a Starbucks coffee with his Starbucks card; he also encourages readers to anonymously refill the card for some karma points. The project is "an experiment in social sharing of physical goods using digital currency on mobile phones," writes Stark on his website, and it's even got a Twitter account that tweets the balance of the card.
TechCrunch picked up on the story this morning, calling out a blogger who alleged that Jonathan's Card was a hoax orchestrated by a shill for Starbucks. It turns out that the project is in fact genuine: Starbucks wrote TechCrunch, saying in part, "Starbucks had no knowledge of Jonathan's plans, and has no official relationship with him or the company he works for. We do think his project is interesting and we're flattered that he is using Starbucks as a part of his 'pay-it-forward' experiment and look forward to watching it develop."
What do you think about Jonathan's Card? Will you take part in the project?
