Letter: A work in progress
Mary Storto, North Naples
A work in progress
Many of my Republican friends have apprised me that I must vote for Connie Mack IV.
I agree that U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is President Barack Obama's prized puppet and should be removed.
However, it pains me tremendously to vote for either of these candidates, so I think I'll just skip this item on the ballot.
The Republican Party in Florida certainly picked an unworthy candidate to run against Nelson. We had many candidates interested and willing to run for senator from Florida, and I fault the Republicans for not doing their job and not throwing their support behind a better person to represent us. Most of my life was spent as a Democrat, and I changed to Republican to support a couple of candidates in the primary election.
In the meantime, I'm really confident that Mitt Romney will become our next president and will have no use for Nelson's vote anyway. I really hope so!
My next change will be Independent, and that's where I'll stay.
Go Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan 2012!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A proposed agreement going before a federal judge could soon end decades of court battles and $1 billion in state funding to three Little Rock area schools.
U.S. District Judge Price Marshall will hear arguments Monday and Tuesday on whether to officially end the dispute rooted in the 1957 Central High School desegregation fight.
Marshall in November tentatively approved the plan calling for payments to end in four years after the state pays an additional nearly $70 million a year to the districts.

Social network among young adults with first-episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders

Social network has considerable impact on physical and mental health. Patients experiencing first-episode psychosis early in adult life may experience severe problems concerning development and maintenance of their social network.
A total of 547 first-episode psychotic patients (18–45) were randomised to standard or integrated treatment, (ACT, social skills training and family intervention), and followed up at 2 years.
Service use or psychotic symptom score did not influence the social network size, measured after the first 2 years of treatment. Small network size was associated with long duration of untreated psychosis (DUP), poor premorbid adjustment, male gender and severe negative symptoms. The number of friends at 2-year follow-up was predicted by age, A-level status, negative symptoms and number of friends at entry, while the determinants for number of family contacts were age, gender, disorganised dimension and family contacts at entry.
Premorbid functioning, network size at entry and DUP is closely related to small social network size. The integrated psychosocial treatment programme was not sufficient to address this problem.

Kingston, NY (PRWEB) February 12, 2013
It is possible that in a few years the deep fryer, a grill, or maybe even a skillet could replace chocolate candies and flowers for the number one Valentine gift to loved ones. The Skillet & More Company has seen a 15% sales increase over last year's Valentine's Day.
Informal sales conversations with customers suggests that today the Valentine's Day trend has changed towards healthier and longer lasting gifts. People have become more health conscience and so their choice of gift giving has changed. The intense media attention regarding the dangers of eating too much sugary foods, cholesterol and calories has has caused a shift in the gifts people give to each other. One would think, therefore, that deep fryer sales would be way down.
A few years ago not many people would have associated deep frying as being part of a hearth healthy diet. In fact, if deep frying is done correctly it is actually very healthy because the escaping steam resulting from the hot oil prevents the oil from seeping into the food. This is the reason a turkey can be cooked in peanut oil for example and still taste like a steamed turkey.
Another reason for the change in attitude is that candies and flowers last such a short time while a grill or deep fryer is something that will last a long time. Cooking is also something that two people can do together as a couple or with friends. A portable grill or deep fryer is a fantastic way to enjoy watching a football or baseball game. They also make for a great party conversation piece. A bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolate is good for a minute or two of togetherness and conversa

HyperX Predator DDR4 Memory Review (HX430C15PBK4/16)
Introduction The HyperX name has been part of Kingston Technologies for the last decade, but recently HyperX migrated into its own branding although still part of Kingston's sub division. While the name or branding may be different, the company's philosophy and product image hasn't changed much. Today we have the chance to take a look at the HyperX Predator series DDR4 memory line. DDR4 memory launched with Intel's recent X99 Chipset featuring lower voltage with higher native frequencies. It features a native speed of 2133MHz, which is really nothing to WOW about as we have seen these speeds with DDR3. However, with its newer JEDEC Culmination and Density, DDR4 memory components now provide better speeds and faster response while being more power efficient at the same time. The HyperX Predator memory we are going to be looking at today not only offers fast speeds of 3000MHz out of the box, but also offers the efficiency of lower voltage; we can see some great potential with additional performance once overclocked. We will be comparing results from Kingston's (HyperX) previous line up from its DDR3 series to see if these claims line up. Before we move forward, let's read a bit about Kingston: "Founded in 1987 with a single product offering, Kingston Technology now offers more than 2,000 memory products that support nearly every device that uses memory, from computers, servers and printers to MP3 players, digital cameras and ...

ADATA SP900 256GB SATA M.2 2280 SSD – Review
Introduction There has been a lot of anticipation for M.2 to be fully released upon the masses. Well folks, we are still waiting. With only a handful of M.2 compatible drives available choices are limited. Apparently, it's better than having a bunch of motherboards available, but no M.2 devices to choose from (Z97 release day). So now that Intel's newest flagship platform has shipped we are starting to see more M.2 SSDs on the market. There is still not an abundance of choice or enough to continue the downward push of SSD prices, however we see light at the end of this tech tunnel, even if it's just a little further than most of us would like. ADATA, a leader in memory technology, sent us one of the two types of M.2 drives available, the SP900 256GB M.2 SSD. Here is a little about ADATA and what they do… then we can move on to learn about M.2.

Did you go to the website I listed for Moorings? Prices vary widely depending on the time of year and vessel chosen.
Do you want to use mooring balls, drop anchor or stay in marinas at night? Anchoring---free but not an option in all places
Mooring balls---$25/night
Marina Slips ---$50 and up/night
Are you going to sail or motor? How much are you going to run your generator? Diesel is about $4.25/gallon
Airfare is another huge variable. Are you going to prepare the majority of your meals and provision accordingly or prefer to dine at the numerous beach bar/restaurants? Do you intend to eat burgers or lobster? How many people are going? How many add-ons are you going to want such as water toys etc...? Without much more information from you, budgeting is a dfficult question to answer with all of the unknown variables.

Three things we still can hold true
ESPN.com experts tackle the remaining truths in college hoops.
With all the conference-shifting around the country this season, we felt it necessary to remember a few things that still will hold true. ESPN.com's experts tackle the three things that will remain a constant in this season of change.
Apologies to Oprah, but in this day and age of constant and dizzying change, there are still some basic things in basketball that are constant. Here are three things I know down to my socks are true:
1. Experience still matters
When you have juniors and seniors, you win more often at the highest level. Last year, the Final Four was packed with experience and some young talent. While Marvin Williams may have been the most talented kid in St. Louis, the load was carried and the nets were cut down by Carolina's juniors and seniors.
Look all you want to Carmelo Anthony as your retort to this theory, but 'Melo was the exception to the rule. In Indianapolis, juniors and seniors will be carrying the loads -- and holding the scissors to cut the nets down.
2. Defense still keys winning
Last year, North Carolina became the first team since the early 1960s to lead the nation in scoring and win the national championship. While the Heels' defense was not as strong as their offense, it still was pretty darn good -- and vastly underrated.
Here's the rub: Most teams that are ranked high in scoring defense hold those positions because they are ball-control teams. They do not allow many possessions, and therefore do not allow as many points. Most good offensive teams score a lot of "easy" baskets, which come primarily off of defense. If you turn somebody over or force a bad shot and run off of it, you will face fewer defenders in the scoring area and go against set defenses less often.
If gritty, hard-nosed defense is not a team's staple, it will not win at the very highest level. You want to see which teams win? Look at scoring, but also look at shooting percentages, turnover margin, free-throw disparity, defensive field-goal percentage and rebound margin. Nobody wins big without guarding people. That will never change.
3. Dee Brown has no position; he's just a player
He is not a natural point and is small for a shooting guard, but the kid is a big-time college player who will carry perhaps the biggest load of any guard in America this year. He will have to bring the ball up, run some offense and call his own number. He will also have to adjust, at times, to waiting for the outlet before taking off downcourt -- something Deron Williams took care of for him last year. I know that Brown is first-team All-American good -- it's just that others out there are, too.
1. Kentucky will dominate the SEC
This year, though, it will be more a function of how weak the league will be relative to the recent past. The Wildcats' backcourt is solid, but after that there are a lot of question marks.
2. Charlotte will be a national sleeper again
3. Memphis will dominate Conference USA
1. Teams with the best point-guard play will come the closest to their potential
UCLA, Texas, Duke, Texas Tech, Villanova, Stanford, Kansas, Memphis, Gonzaga and others all have talented yet vastly different point guards. Elite point guards make a college team!
2. Big conference teams will play fewer and fewer great schedules
3. Full-court pressure still will be underutilized
1. Duke and North Carolina will play tremendous games
Forget about UNC's being down. The Tar Heels will give Duke tough games twice and, who knows, maybe even upset the Blue Devils at the Dean Smith Center. Remember when the roles were reversed in the mid-'90s? We anticipate the Tar Heels' rallying like never before when they play Duke.
2. Texas Tech will challenge for third, at least, in the Big 12
3. A double-digit seed from a low-major conference will pull off a major first-round upset
- Duke's Fresh Faces Deliver
- Duke's freshmen stars sent Mike Krzyzewski back to the Final Four.
Brown »
- Trice Leads MSU To Indy
- Travis Trice led Michigan State on an improbable run.
O'Neil »
- Kentucky's Survival Instincts
- Kentucky's escape against Notre Dame makes the Final Four a formality.

Amne ElAbdallah Poems
Roll of Thunder
Roll of Thunder, Hear my cry, Hear my moan, And hear my sigh.
Mommy, Mommy, Why can't you love me?
When I was a little girl… I cried as you beat me
You must not quit
When things go wrong; as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
A smile
It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.
Life can seem ungrateful
Life can seem ungrateful, and not always kind. Life can pull at your heartstrings, and play with your mind. Life can be blissful, and happy and free. Life can put beauty, in the things that you see.
Don't compare
We live in a pathologically dissatisfied world. And I'm going to tell you why. Because we love to compare. Go around the world and discover that people aren't happy with their bodies. Filipinos want to be fair-complexioned like Westerners, and so buy bleaching stuff. Westerners want to own bronzed bodies like ours, and so purchase tanning lotions.
It couldn't be done
Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But, he with a chuckle replied That 'maybe it couldn't' but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
Die Mutter
Die Mutter ist die dich liebt und trostet. Dich in den Arm nimmt und dir einem gut gemeinten Rat in's Ohr flustert. Die Person, zu der du bestandig hinaufschaust und versucht nie aus dein Augen zu lassen. Dein Idol.
The game, I play
I never knew you had 2 faces, I wish I was in so many other places. Gosh, I can't believe I fell for you, It's not just your fault, no it's mine too.
If I'm anywhere around you, I can't believe I've got to push you away, to think, to breath I look at your face, I try to inhale, I try again and seem to fail.
Friendship That Shall Never End
Friendship That Will Never End I remember my first day of college, When I sat there feeling really nervous and shy,
The feeling of Love...
Love, can it ever be defined? It fills us with happiness and warmth, Yet jealousy and anxiety. Why is he late? What is she up to?
How do I?
How do I move on when there is no place to go? How do I cry when the tears just won't contiune to roll? You hold my heart in the palm of your hand. But yet you still leave me lying in the sand.
As I grew up, I've learnt that even the person who wasn't suppose to let you down, probably will. You'll have your heart bROken & you'll break others too..

Hear my moan,
And hear my sigh.
What have I done to deserve this?
I am an innocent child.
My mother shouting,
My brother fighting,
And my sister crying.
My father's away,
I feel alone,
Yet you are thundering above me.
Yes, I may have gone one way,
But Roll of Thunder it's ok,
I am who I am,
No matter what,
So Roll of Thunder please here my cry,
Hear my moan,
And hear my sigh.

We are lucky as fans, we have seen 3 of the best Fiesta Bowls any fan base could hope for. Not to mention, we have won all 3 of them. Here are pictures from each game to relive these historic moments.
Tag Archives: Boise State
Why This One Was Special – The Coaches Bleed Blue
Take out the records, take out the stats, take out the implications for the program. Seriously take all of those things out, and this one is still special. Perhaps even more so than the previous two Fiesta Bowl wins. Before this season however I would have never even thought that possible. Then, I rushed the field, I heard Harsin speak after winning the MWC Championship game, and it all started to line up. This season really meant everything to this program. And maybe to the outside world this is just another bowl game, another moment Boise State upset the big boys. But when you listened to Bryan Harsin on the mic after winning another Fiesta Bowl, you knew this one was special for a lot of different reasons. This game keeps Boise State relevant yes, it keeps Boise State in the discussions for all those important topics like expansion, and playoffs. But more than that, this was a win by a bunch of guys and coaches who truly "bleed blue".
After the game was over on TV, I quickly went to my car to listen to the post game show. I am glad I did, because everything I was starting to believe about this game, this win, was solidified when Mike Sanford was interviewed by Bob Behler. The emotion that ran through his words was palpable, his tears of joy noticeable, even on the radio. He stated it made him proud to sing HIS fight song, to represent the school that "made him a man". It was these words, this emotion, this understanding that very well might have saved a program. These coaches instilled the values that make Boise State special. From day 1, this coaching staff knew that to be a Bronco, you have to work hard, have that blue collar mentality, and earn everything that is presented to you. This is a program that has continued to rise despite all the odds, and this game, this season was no different. That is why this game was so pivotal, why this win matters so much, why these coaches are so important, and why this Fiesta Bowl win is so special.
Congratulations players, coaches, and Bronco Nation! Have a Happy New Year, and enjoy the win!
Attack The Opponent: Arizona Wildcats (Fiesta Edition)
Hey, remember that time that Boise State got invited to their third Fiesta Bowl vs. Arizona? Yeah, that was pretty neat. Congratulations! You know the entire history of BSU and UA playing football against each other!
Just because these two teams have never played, does not mean there are no common threads. Former Boise State DL Jeff Worthy is now starting for the Wildcats, after a year of community college after being dismissed from the Broncos squad by Chris Petersen in early 2013. Jared Tevis, younger brother of Boise State standout linebacker Aaron Tevis is currently a linebacker at Arizona. One of Arizona's best wide receivers, Cayleb Jones, played for Coach Harsin during his time at Texas. Both teams run a wild, fun to watch, prolific offense. Both teams are capable of playing shut down defense. Both teams have quarterbacks capable of moving with the ball, and defensive players who can change a game with a well-timed pick.
The Fiesta Bowl has been good to Boise State in the past, but this game feels like a weird match-up. The only other team we've played that runs a 3-3-5 defense is San Diego State, and after a couple of years of losing to the Aztecs, turned it around this season to put 399 yards and 5 TD's on them. SDSU is not as big or fast as Arizona.
The one common opponent the Wildcats and the Broncos share is Nevada. Arizona held the Wolf Pack to 28 points and put up 507 yards of offense in the third week, while Boise State allowed 46 points but rolled up 570 yards of offense in their week 6 win. The Wildcats might be an 11-2 Pac 12 team that was only second to Oregon, but they are beatable. Their red shirt freshman QB, Anu Solomon has been fighting a foot/ankle sprain for the last couple months, and its easy to see that their offensive production has fallen off some in that time.
The best bet for Boise State is for Coach Caldwell's boys on the D-Line to pull an '07 and smash Arizona's bigger offensive line in the teeth until they can get through to really bother Solomon in to passing the ball. His completion percentage is 58% on the season, and if he isn't more accurate than that in this bowl, Boise States DB's will have themselves a field day, complete with a track meet to the end zone after getting some picks.
Arizona's run game has been inconsistent at best, but is capable of putting up serious numbers against questionable run defenses. The Broncos have had issues stopping the run, especially anything option-related. Arizona's offense definitely is option-y, along with having no-huddle speed. This could be a problem.
What do Ole Miss, CSU, Air Force, New Mexico, and Fresno have in common? Strong rush games. Air Force and New Mexico run a traditional option attack and both pushed Boise State to the edge and beyond. Forcing Arizona to take to the air or putting on a run defense show unlike anything we've seen since the first 4 games of the season is an absolute must for the Broncos to win this Fiesta.
Solid special teams play, limiting turnovers, all of those things apply to both squads. The Cats do turn the ball over less overall, they also didn't have a 7 TO debacle as an outlier that's messing up the average. They are more heavily penalized than the Broncos though, averaging 63 ypg in penalties over Boise's 56. Basically, the little stuff is a draw.
On offense, Boise State needs to just stay consistent. They did not have a good second half vs. Fresno in the MWC championship game, which made a lot of people (including me) very nervous going in to bowl selection weekend. The champ game was the worst yardage performance by the Bronco offense since UConn.
The conspiracy theory is nice though. You know, the one Bronco Nation has consoled themselves with for weeks – that Hars and Sanford closed the playbook as to not give our bowl opponent anything. It couldn't be Boise's offensive line giving their best imitation of a pasta strainer and allowing Fresnah's d to stop the run at the line over and over and over and over… nope! That definitely wasn't it.
The upcoming game is not going to be like the MWC championship game. It won't be like Ole Miss either. Arizona might be the bigger, faster, Power 5 blah blah team, but got stomped the last time they set foot on a football field. Boise State has done nothing but win since October 4th. Taking a butt kicking from Oregon after beating them the first time and then having a month to think about it has to be rough. Of course, it could also be said that the Broncos cruised through an undemanding MWC schedule and is about to get a rude awakening at the hands of the Cats. The same thing we heard in 07, and again in 2010. Those games turned out okay.
Let's be real here for a second. This time last year, we figured we'd be lucky to win 8 games again. The guys have not put together a perfect season. What they have done is re-established Bronco football as a program that still can't be overlooked by any team, regardless of conference affiliation. Boise State is playing a tough opponent in Arizona, one that doesn't match up all that well. However, the Broncos are motivated, and ready to give the Wildcats everything they've got. I couldn't be more happy, or more proud of what those guys have done. Now it's time to finish this. #1more.
It's Fiesta Time!
Stream of Consciousness – Thoughts Before the Fiesta
- This idea that Boise State isn't as good as Bronco teams in the past is frustrating. Even if you agree with the statement, Arizona is not as good as Oklahoma (Big-12 champion), or TCU (Undefeated 12-0 MWC champion), was in the past either. This idea that there is a major talent gap between these teams is lazy narrative and should stop.
- I really can't wait to see what our coaching staff has in store for this game. In the first Fiesta, we saw a barrage of tricks. In the 2nd Fiesta Bowl, we saw a whole new look defense for TCU. I just get a feeling our staff is going to have something fun planned for us all.
- Saying goodbye to the "J-Train" is not going to be easy, but I can't think of a better way to do it. The Fiesta Bowl is special to us fans for good reason. I really hope we see a fitting departure for Jay Ajayi.
- I can't help but wonder who is going to be the star of the game? Is Kamalei going to go off? Is Hedrick going to cap off an incredible comeback season? Or will Jay Ajayi just run his way into the NFL? Somebody is going to have a major impact in this game and I can't wait to see who it is.
- How will the fans show up? I was lucky enough to attend the last Fiesta Bowl and I was blown away by our fan turnout. We owned the stadium, and it was so much fun to be apart of. I hope this Fiesta Bowl is no different.
- If we win, who will propose? Sounds crazy, but that is our tradition as well. First it was Ian Johnson, then it was Michal Ames, one to a cheerleader, the other to a dancer. If we win, somebody needs to be prepared to step up :-)!
- I wonder if anybody wants to put an over/under on the amount of times the announcers use the words "trick-plays" when talking about Boise State? I guess I will go with 6.5 times?
- I always look at Shane Williams-Rhodes like a stick of dynamite. He is always my X-factor for every game and I can't help but think he makes a big play in this game. I am actually shocked we haven't seen him in motion more getting the hand-off for the sweep to the outside.
- Donte Deayon, will he be break gravity again in this game?
- I believe Chaz Anderson in this game will solidify himself as a legit target for future seasons for the Broncos.
- I also believe there will be a moment in this game where we look at McNichols after a play and say, "That guy is our future, no doubt about it".
- Lastly, I have an anxious feeling about this game, Arizona does pose some problems for Boise State. I really hate facing another 3-5-5 defense and I hope Grant has figured it out by now. But mobile QB's in a spread system with a defense that has given us trouble, makes me cringe. If we win, I expect, just like the past two Fiesta Bowls for this game to keep fans on the edge of their seats. We are getting close Bronco Nation, buckle up, the ride is about to get fun!
Home field Disadvantage – Sorry Wildcats
I have heard it a lot from fans, media, and pundits. Arizona has the home field advantage and that might be the deciding factor in the Fiesta Bowl. I listened to somebody on the Freddy Coleman Show on ESPN Radio the other night say the game was "even" except for the fact BSU was going into Arizona's "house" (Lets ignore that is not even 100% accurate). I am here to tell you that there is nothing further from the truth here. If Arizona playing in Arizona is anything, it is a disadvantage, and this statement is what drives me crazy about sports media. Watch or listen to any show – most knowledgeable football pundits will say the same thing over and over – the biggest difference in winners and losers in bowl game is preparation. Yes, skill, talent, and other things will play a role. But coaching and focus from the players during the time leading up to the ballgame often decides the winner.
So what in the world could distract players as they prepare for playing a major bowl game in their own state? Could it be all their family, friends, and neighbors asking for tickets? Or is it the added pressure of playing at "home"? Look I am not saying that they won't have a sound advantage on game day. Chances are we will have to use a silent count and other methods pre-snap. But I have no doubt the distractions for Arizona going into this game will be much higher than it is for Boise State. Arizona has to face little ol' Boise State who they are expected to dominate in their own state. They are going to hear it from now until game day. The pressure for them is real, and I love that BSU is in the situation they are in leading into the game.
Lastly, you have one last little factor heading into this game. That factor – we own two of those gold trophies you see above this text. Arizona, well, they don't… Yes, the experience is going to be new for our players on the team. But for our coaches, they have been here, done this. They know who to call, what to do, and how to prepare. This bowl game really is becoming a second home for the Broncos. The stadium is not new, the locker room, the sidelines, and the tunnel the Broncos walk out of, all of that is old news to a majority of coaches. When you add all of this up, when you really look at the writing on the wall, Arizona is at a disadvantage.

Healdsburg HotelsCanoe along the rippling surface of beautiful Russian River, soar above verdant vineyards on dawn hot air balloon rides, and shop in chic galleries and trendy fashion stores in this affluent wine-producing town. Healdsburg has a reputation for enjoying an upmarket lifestyle, from its annual public events to its high-class hotels. Local wineries compete for popular awards, and stylish restaurants show off the best of Californian cuisine with their tempting seasonal menus.Things to seeLife in California revolves around the growing season – the grape growing season that is – and with such lush and fertile land here, it's hardly surprising there are plenty of award winning wineries to visit. The idyllic landscape of the Dry Creek Vineyard provides the perfect setting for discovering a new taste of California, amid undulating fields of vibrant vines and within the walls of ivy-covered homesteads. Nearby, and on the hills that overlook Healdsburg, you can sip a fabulous Zinfandel at the Wilson Winery while you gaze across the valley. You don't have to travel outside the town to taste its local produce, though. Around the side of the landscaped Healdsburg Plaza, home of many local fairs and events, a selection of quaint cafes and elegant restaurants are shaded by colorful, striped awnings. You can enjoy a stroll along here on balmy summer nights, shopping in tempting boutiques or pausing at bars to relax as evening draws in around you.Hotels in HealdsburgHotels in Healdsburg are mostly clustered around its main avenue, within easy walking distance of the city center. They're a mix of top-class hotels and pretty local inns, with some comfortable guest houses thrown in as well. Luxury hotels in Healdsburg have the added benefit of spa facilities, delicious restaurants with fine-dining cuisine, and beautifully decorated bedrooms with designer linens and unique pieces of furniture. When you're traveling on a set budget, there's no need to sacrifice quality. There are some excellent motels and discount hotels with great facilities, including contemporary en-suite bedrooms, outdoor swimming pools, saunas, and free WiFi. You might find you're a little further out from the town center but it's a small sacrifice in a town this compact.Where to stayHealdsburg sits on the convergence of three wine-growing regions, putting it at the heart of Californian production. It's a big tourist industry, and everywhere you wander through its unhurried streets, there are references to local wine producers and products. Its bars are always busy, crowded with locals and tourists alike, and along the broad section of Healdsburg Avenue, elegant ethnic restaurants are sandwiched between realty shops, designer fashion boutiques, and tempting tasting rooms. There are some hotels in Healdsburg that sit outside the city boundaries, enjoying the idyllic valley views – definitely the best of both worlds.How to get to HealdsburgThe closest entry port for foreign travelers is San Francisco International Airport in the south, and since onward travel to Healdsburg usually means crossing the famous Golden Gate Bridge, there's more than one reason to choose this route. The Greyhound bus service passes through Healdsburg, as well as the Amtrak railway line, and for inter-county travel, the Sonoma County Transit Line runs throughout the week. While you're in Healdsburg, you really won't need transport of your own. The few sights outside the city can all be reached by local taxi.
