Air or Water
The only way to get around in the northern part district is by boat or by plane. There is a seaplane that comes into Highborne Cay, and there is an airstrip on Norman's Cay.
You can also charter a boat (if you don't have your own). Or it is possible to travel between the islands by mailboat.
The Lady Francis mailboat run is--San Salvador: United States, Rum Cay, Cockburn Town; Exuma Cays: Staniel Cay, Black Point, Farmer's Cay, Barraterre.

Minecraft for Mac and PC will soon have native support for Twitch live streaming, according to news coming out of Minecon 2013 this weekend. Speaking at Minecon 2013 over the weekend, Twitch Marketing Vice President Matthew DiPietro confirmed that this level of functionality would be introduced 'soon'.
"Minecraft has struck a very powerful chord with the Twitch community," DiPietro said.
The latest update for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm goes a step in the right direction for those players who are color blind. Blizzard Entertainment announced plans to release update 2.0.10 for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm later this week that will add a new color blind mode and some new eSports features.
The new color blind mode alternates the colors that are used to designate players and shows the build grid when the "Display Build Grid" message is enabled. The minimap terrain is also darkened to show more visual contrast between units and terrain.
Valve's popular MOBA game DOTA 2 has officially surpassed Riot Games' League of Legends as the most played in the West in the first quarter of this year, according to data collected by research firm DFC Intelligence. The report, which covers PC gaming in North America and Europe, is based on the DFC Intelligence PC Game Meter service. It combines data from multiple sources, including real-time stats from Xfire's 23 million users.
Atari founder Nolan Bushnell tells All Things D that the smart money is no longer going into smartphones as the industry shifts to focus on new platforms.
"All the money's out," Bushnell told the publication. "Do I really want to do a mobile game that's one of 300,000, where discoverability is everything? You really have to have a little more sizzle on the steak."
While most big game developers and publishers have abandoned a lot of the studios they used to run in Australia, one company has decided that it is a good place to open up a new office. Riot Games, makers of the popular online multiplayer battle arena game League of Legends, announced that it has opened up a brand new studio in Sydney Australia.
Organizers of QuakeCon, the annual fan gathering dedicated to all things Quake and id Software related is set to take place this year August 1 - 4 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in the beautiful city of Dallas, Texas. Thanks to id Software and Bethesda Softworks (both owned by Zenimax, for the record) the event is free to all, though if you want a place to stay you'd better book a room early.
This week hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight talk about fresh Xbox 720 rumors, new game bills in America, the releases cycle of the Ouya, and last week's GamePolitics Poll. All this and more awaits in Episode 40. Download it now: SuperPAC Episode 40 (1 hour) 55.5 MB.
Rice University in Houston, Texas is using Bethesda's hit role-playing game Elder Scrolls IV: Skyrim to help teach an English course about Scandinavian fantasy worlds. The course is called "Scandanavian Fantasy Worlds: Old Norse Sagas and Skyrim" and hopes to teach students about fantasy as a psychological concept and how it is important in gaming culture. Students will play certain quests within the game, read selections from Norse and Icelandic sagas and identify parallels between literature and the game.
Major League Gaming announced that it is withholding the prizes and titles for the top two League of Legends teams that played at this weekend's MLG Summer Championships. The pro gaming league said in a statement that the two teams engaged in acts of "collusion."
"MLG regrets to announce that we will not be awarding 1st or 2nd Place finishes for the Summer Championship League of Legends Event," the company said in a statement. "We have determined that there was collusion between the two final teams, Curse NA and Team Dignitas."
League of Legends maker Riot Games has managed to wrestle a web domain from a porn company. The URL, LeagueofLegends.co, relied heavily on user error to lure unsuspecting surfers to its dark and saucy doors where they were served up all kinds of nakedness... Riot Games won its legal dispute against the owner of LeagueofLegends.co, a domain that redirected users looking for the official site of multiplayer online battle arena League of Legends to a porn site.
According to this Joystiq report, EA has made a ton of money off of FIFA 12's Ultimate Team DLC last year, but this year it wants to avoid the headaches associated with the "FIFA hack." The company reportedly made over $39 million in just three months off the DLC, a 69 percent increase from the same period the year before. But it also created a lot of headaches for consumers who found their security on Xbox Live compromised.
While employees of OnLive felt the most immediate sting on Friday when the company announced mass staff layoffs, other entities involved with the cloud-based game streaming service felt their investments of time and money disappear like a building at a David Copperfield show in Vegas. Too bad that it wasn't an illusion.
League of Legends maker Riot Games announced that, beginning in early 2013, it will kick off the League of Legends Championship Series. The new professional gaming league will feature teams from North America, Europe and Asia, taking part in multiple regular season matches each week, all streamed in HD broadcasts available globally for free.
More importantly, players will actually be paid like the professional gamers that many of them are.
A job listing from Irrational Games has a peculiar requirement: the applicant has to have worked on a game receiving an average Metacric.com score of 85 or higher. The job posting, which can be found on Gamasutra's Jobs section, seeks applicants to fill a Design Manager position at the company for its Boston offices.
Blizzard President Mike Morhaime posted a rather lengthy open letter on Battle.net to talk about the launch of Diablo III, the problems associated with that launch, the need for the "always-on" requirement, and what the company has planned for the game in the future.
Morhaime starts by talking about how the launch was a smashing success, but noted that it is hard to predict how the number of players they would have to deal with at launch in advance.
With QuakeCon kicking off on August 2, organizers decided that now is as good a time as any to detail some of the special things going on at the annual event dedicated to id Software's beloved first-person shooter franchise. With Zenimax now owning the studio responsible for Quake and Doom, you can expect to see some games in the works from Zenimax Online and Bethesda as well.
According to a post on the Battle.net forums, Blizzard plans to limit the number of games a player can create within a given timeframe to combat the use of bots. The company did not detail the number of games, nor the time frame in which players would be limited - that roast is still in the proverbial oven. Whatever the parameters are, this change will happen in the "near future."
Cevat Yerli, CEO and president of Crytek, recently said that after his company finishes up its current projects all future titles from the studio will be free-to-play. In a lengthy interview with Computer & Videogames, Yerli said that free-to-play gaming is the future of the industry and the reason we do not see free-to-play games on consoles is because platform holders have done a good job of not allowing them at the behest of retail partners.
Social game matchmaking company Xfire announced this morning that it has secured an additional $3 million in funding. The company will use the cash injection to expand into Asian territories. The financing round was led by Singapore-based firm IDM Venture Capital. The cash follows the news that Xfire has inked a partnership deal with CHINA YOUTH GOYOR TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD., who will help bring the service to more than 400 million gamers in Asia.
If you are one of the millions (?) of poor souls (Diablo III players) wondering "why can't I log on to my local Battle.net server?" or "what the f**k is an 'error 37' or 'error 3003'?" then you need only look to Battle.net's various pages designed to keep you from losing your mind. First there's the server status page which tells you if the server in your region is up, down, or downright lost in the ether.
GameStop is banking on a new deal with Blizzard that it hopes will shore up its digital sales over the next several years. The deal will see GameStop offer customers the ability to buy games and digital goods for Blizzard games in the retailer's stores in the U.S. and other regions. Diablo III, coming May 15, will be the first game sold via download codes in the stores.
According to Electronic Arts over a million gamers worldwide celebrated the holidays in front of their PCs playing BioWare's MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Over the weekend, players spent over 5.5 million hours playing the game, according to EA.
SWTOR has hit a number of other milestones in the first week of release, according to EA:
Nexon has gone public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and has managed to raise $1.17 billion from its IPO. Nexon's IPO is the biggest of the year for the exchange, putting the company's total market value of between $7.69 billion and $8.97 billion. In an interview with Bloomberg, Nexon CFO Owen Mahoney said that the social gaming and online gaming company plans on using the money to fund new acquisitions.
Zynga is telling investors as it pitches for its upcoming initial public offering, that it can and will double its user base - a user base that has been in decline for the last few months due to good-old-fashioned drop-off and Facebook's change in the way it measures user activity. "We could see that doubling," Pincus said at the luncheon at a Boston hotel with potential investors. He did not give a time frame for meeting this target.
Bethesda announced that it is hard at work fixing bugs and glitches associated with various versions of its epic RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. After pages of forum posts and an avalanche of consumer complaints, Bethesda will attempt to fix the issues plaguing PlayStation 3 Skyrim players with a new patch next week - after the Thanksgiving holiday.
"PS3 and 360 updates have been submitted for certification. PC coming too. Current estimate is they will be live the week after Thanksgiving," said Bethesda's Pete Hines.
Analyst firm Cowen & Company has raised first-year sales estimates for EA's Battlefield 3 from 8 million to 11 million, after noting vigorous pre-order numbers. The firm said that the game is already benefiting from an extensive marketing campaign (some estimate that EA is spending around $50 million to promote the game prior to launch) ahead of its October release on Xbox 360, Ps3, and PC; and it is seeing pre-orders for Battlefield 3 "comparable" to Call of Duty Black Ops' numbers from last year.
The firm also commented on Star Wars: The Old Republic and the market's reaction to a planned beta test. Yesterday Electronic Arts began taking pre-orders for the game and announced a beta for sometime in September ahead of its expected holiday release. For some reason this caused shares in EA to take a small hit.
According to new research data from Gartner Inc., an estimated $74 billion will be spent on gaming on 2011, delivering - by year's end - a 10 percent increase over 2010 numbers. The firm also estimates that two-thirds of that money will be spent on software. By 2015 that number will grow to $112 billion.
"As the popularity of smartphones and tablets continues to expand, gaming will remain a key component in the use of these devices," said principal research analyst Tuong Nguyen. "Mobile games are the most downloaded application category across most application stores. For this reason, mobile gaming will continue to thrive as more consumers expand their use of new and innovative portable connected devices."
Video-game industry-related funding and acquisition deals rose 36 percent to a total of 210 in 2010, driven by developments in the online and social network gaming segments. This is according to new IHS Screen Digest research. The research firm said that 123 funding rounds and 87 acquisitions closed in 2010, and that the volume of activity last year was up by more than a third from the 2009's total of 154 events.
Acquisitions doubled last year, with 20 - 24 events occurring every quarter, compared to 49 acquisitions for all of 2009. Total funding for 2010 reached $1.89 billion, up 130 percent from $819 million in 2009. The numbers cover funding and acquisitions activity in all areas of the games market (excluding mobile gaming, which was tracked separately).

UK Taxpayers' Money Getting Wasted On IT Spending 174
from the dog-bites-man-over-and-over-and-over dept.

I'm not denying that some money is being wasted, but nowhere near as much as this report implies. See this article [pcpro.co.uk] for more detail.
Is http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/2011/07/28/obscene-whitehall-it-spending-or-sloppy-journalism/ [pcpro.co.uk]
Basically, they took something out of context and sensationalised it.
My own GP is very clued up in this area and keeps a close watch on the local trust to see if they are getting good value for money. Generally speaking, they do. In fact, compared to privatised healthcare in the US, the NHS is amazingly efficient and low cost - which is why we have very similar life expectancy adjusted for social class, but we only spend half as much of our GDP as does the US - and our GDP per head is lower to begin with.
No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.

Church administration and youth center building destroyed by fire
A church administration and youth center building in Camden was destroyed by a fire early Wednesday morning, according to Camden Fire Department Officials.
Deputy Chief Phil Elliott said firefighting units were dispatched to The River Church located at 112 Battleship Road, near the Jefferson Davis Highway, at 4:15 a.m.
Flames were coming through the roof of the building by the time crews arrived at the scene, Elliot said. That forced firefighters to use an exterior attack to extinguish the flames.
Elliott said they do not know what initially started the fire, but storms moving through the area could have been one factor.
The incident is still under investigation, and no injuries were reported, according to Elliott.

I rent a van 2-3 times a year here. Customer service rep suggested the new van on the lot....handled great, better mileage and much more visibility. Always good service.
truck was ready, people were friendly, good customer service.
They are always helpful and explain all the rules of the truck rental. Thank you
very good service from the uhaul clerk I ,will use that location again
I reserved a 17ft. truck 3 days ahead of time and when I got there they told me only a 15 was available and that they tried to call me and let me know, when I know damn well they never did. Service was extremely slow and seemed unorganized and they seemed to have computer issues with accounts. Needless to say I could not fit all my stuff in the 15ft. truck and had to take 2 trips and pay more than I should have. overall, not too happy!
Well Arived at 8 and the clerk was running late there was a room full of people (like 4-5 other clients) only 1 clerk. he was nice, *When I rented your truck with a person on the phone i reserved for two days at 29.95 a day I was told the 1st 25 miles were free and it would .79cents a mile there after.) Okay well back to getting the uhaul dealer the man told me it was AGAINST policy to rent a truck for two days???? He also charged me .99 cents a mile so i used the truck for about 8 hrs returned it as I was told to. I still havent completed moving of my home:( plus I returned the truck with more Gas than I recieved it. Also the back of the truck was not clean nor was the cab interior and paid 121.00 This is an extreem disappointment. I will not ever rent from this Uhaul dealer ever again and I will tell everyone about how the management has changed again and not for the better. Benjamin was a great manager and he helped to turn this place around people there now seem like they would rather be somewhere else and customer service are lacking deeply. Sincerly Dawn Sumner
The two gentleman working at this location were extremely helpful. Thank you for accommodating us!
As a result of a very unstable 6x12' trailer, it stripped our 1 7/8" ball off the hitch and detached altogether. This happened west-bound on the NYS Thruway from Mass into NY. As it detached, the violent whipping action forced us come to a complete halt in the breakdown lane of the hammer lane side. Extremely dangerous! We needed to call 911 for help, as well as U-Haul's roadside assistance. If I didn't have an extra tow hitch, we would have needed a tow vehicle (which none were available at the time). The attendant at the original lease location hooked us up, but neglected to check the rating for the ball hitch; and, consequently, we broke down and faced a very dangerous situation. This could have been prevented, but I maintain that the 6x12' trailer is one of the worst trailers I've ever towed. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'll be contacting the U-Haul insurance to file a claim in order to fix the damage to the back of my Toyota 4Runner.
other than a previous renter smoking in the truck I used everything else was excellent
Great staff & trailers!!
nice people to work with
Everything was great. Just the wipers were really bad. The hand truck holder was also in the way.
Make sure the vehicle is available on time. The only reason I didnt rank Uhaul lower is because the guy actually helped me find another one.
Nothing you guys are great you guys are differently on my mind for the next stop i get
Was suppose to pick up warrensburg and drop of warrensburg. Was switched to queensbury. Extra hour drive out of my way not happy with that. The hole guarantee crisp isn't right I didn't get 50 for not being at the right location I picked. But other then that the employee was cool. Nice and helpful. He didn't show how to use straps but I figured it out
the trailer lights didn't work properly and call the manager and the manager did not return my phone call. just a bad experience.
Tell the stupid operator in Arizona to be aware of the policies of each location. There was a big to-do about her telling us we could have a two day reservation and then the location said they're only supposed to do one day, one way renitals or some malarkey , or else they get in trouble. I did not enjoy being in the middle of agency baloney - they told me to call later in the day to say I needed it one more day because they set it up as a one day when I told the Arizona woman I needed it two days. What the heck. So I made the bogus phone call to the same people I just saw when I rented it and they already knew I was going to keep it two days. Customers don't want to be involved in conflict between your employees.
Staff is always very helpful and friendly
I didn't like having to show my Driver's license and credit card both when I reserved truck and again when I picked up truck. Either one or the other. Also, didn't like that windows and mirrors were filthy! I ended up stopping at my house and taking paper towels and windex and cleaned them myself. Company preaches Safety... Also, Roof of Box had 2 inches of ice and 3-4 inches of snow on it. While travelling at 65 mph, I kept looking in mirror for it to fly off and slam into windshield behind me. Whose responsibility would that be? Truck did drive nice and ran well overall.
Great experience. When I picked up the trailer it was -16F. The attendant hooked everything up and was very courteous despite the difficulties the extreme cold caused. When I returned it 15 minutes before closing it was -2F.
Different attendant was equally courteous while unhooking. Highly recommend these folks.
The guy that rented me the truck was an ass. He had a nasty attitude. When I dropped it off the two other guys where nice. Next time I'll go to a different company.
I am new to uHaul. Glen is a new manager at this location. I explained what I was doing (I'm sure he's heard it 1000 times before, but he was friendly), and he gave me two choices. I selected the small truck. Started right up, good heater (it's cold outside), good radio, etc. It goes through the snow like a train. Amazing. Return was easy, no problems from start to finish. Great Value for the under $50 that I spent, including gas. BTW, I saw dnegative reviews somewhere else. I think that if you go in expecting 5 star, white glove treatment, a shoulder to cry on and a complimentary mint, you're probably not going to be happy. No matter how hard they try. Man-up. I'm very pleased with my experience with Glen, uHaul Inc, and the equipment.
was great the way it was thank you
Lots of snow uncleared, waited nearly 2 hours to access the storage unit. multiple attempts to back trailer into deep snow (reverse under force does not work with hydraulic tongue brake systems). The U-Haul facility should have parked the trailer, not me.
Staff was very friendly and helpful

Which deck material would you recommend for us?
I didn't get any responses to my post from a couple of months ago...
Let me start by saying that I'm brand new to this forum. (I spend most of my GW time in Bathrooms!) From the reading I've done so far, there are some very knowledgable people here and I am admittedly NOT knowledgable on the subject of decks so please bear with me.
Our 19 year old cedar deck had deteriorated to the point that it was an unsalvagable safety hazard so we recently removed the top decking material. My husband feels that the understructure is in pretty good shape and should be usable although we plan to expand the footprint somewhat.
We were assuming that we would replace the deck with Trex or some other composite material. From what I've read so far, that seems like it could be a very expensive mistake. We don't want to ignore the warning signs if mold is an ongoing issue with these products.
Honestly, we're not great about keeping up with the maintenance of a wood deck, otherwise we might have gotten a few more years out of our cedar deck. So we're looking for the best option(s) for something that would require as little care and maintenance as possible, recognizing that there is no such thing as "maintenance free."
We live in the midwest so we have all four seasons. The deck is on the north side of our house at the edge of fairly dense woods so it's in the sun for just a few hours each day.
Could you point me in the right direction or offer any advice on materials that we should consider?
... so I thought I'd try again because I've started to contact deck builders to gather information and estimates.
So far, the contractors that I've called work with both wood and composite material. I may be wrong but I thought this would help to get impartial input on the best choice for our situation.
From what I've seen online about Ipe, I think I'd really like the look and the characteristics but I know I wouldn't want it to turn silver/grey. Realistically, how much maintenance is involved to avoid this?
What deck material would you suggest for us and why?
I really appreciate any advice you have... thanks!!
I live in northern Illinois - perhaps similar climate conditions. Many neighbors have cedar decks on the north side of their homes. They have them professionally cleaned/treated/re-sealed every other year. One which is about 12 years old still looks new. Your 19 years without continual maintainance is actually pretty good.
As to composite, some brands of composite decking tend to have a bounce and 12" on-center joists are recommended to control this and for a diagonal install absolutely 12" on-center. Using the existing structure may negate or limit your option - check manufactures requirements.
I can't offer personal knowledge of Ipe or other materials but any outdoor product requires periodic maintenance. And, after 20 years the existing sub-structure may not have sufficient remaining life to last and support new decking. Just my opinion. Unfortunately a former poster here was a deck-builder and offered really sound advise but the site-monitor felt he was soliciting so blocked him. Our loss.
We're going with Azek decking for our new deck. Its PVC - not a composite like Trex. We used Trex on a porch in a rental property, and its def not maintenance free. We ended up with some mildew and other problems. We put Azek on a small front porch in our current home. Its in direct hot sun and we haven't had any issues and it looks great. They have a lot of color options and they have "plugs" to cover the screw holes which I love. Just my 2 cents. :)
Ipe (and other brazilian hardwoods) require periodic re-staining. I've got a 3-year-old garapa deck that I didn't keep up with sufficiently. The stain lasted 1 year well, but 2 years...not so much. So am planning some rework once the weather cools down a bit. My revised formula, based on what I've learned, would be to put 3 coats on to start, then one new recoat each year.
FWIW, we're in the midwest as well, but our deck faces an open west, so gets lots of sun. Sun wears the finish faster than shade. So yours might last a couple years between re-finishes.
If you know you won't keep up with it yourselves, then consider planning to pay someone to do it each year for you.
I think its old post. Any way for more information I would suggest you to get the composite decking material. Recently I have use the composite decking material from Futurewood. It was great for me and looks new as they have been used. Some Composite decking material doesn't get oily but it was great.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 245 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dicmicaz Short stay, but very nice Warmly greeted, helpful check-in process. Great location, but a bit far from the water. La Jolla is nt a user friendly destination, so get good directions. Room was nice, comfortable. Shopping center next door has everything you need. Loved having a fridge, and no fee for parking! Pool and hot tub very nice and huge. Like to stay longer next time. September 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tad77 Very pleasant The setting is charming and the location adjacent to La Jolla Village Mall is excellent. I would have rated everything as "excellent," except the friendly dining service at Humphry's made a mistake and overcharged $5. (I didn't have time to correct this mistake, because I didn't notice until the next morning when I had a tight schedule to keep). June 16, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by farahani This hotel was not to my expectations. I think this hotel is not in Sheraton standards , bathrooms were not clean, the hallway was not clean, the staff were not aware of my original late check out request , the cooling system was making too much noise to the point that my little son keep waking up at night , overall it was not to my expectations. August 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DownUnder The Good, the bad but NEVER ugly Our 8 night stay gave us a critical insight to the professionalism of the hotel. Staff at the reception area were highly professional; staff in both the restaurant and Shooter's Bar were highly professional; Valet attendant, William, was outstanding with our late request for a cab to a wedding and his proactive behaviour to ensure that I was not left alone to transport 7 suitcases from our room to the rental. Great job William! We especially warmed to the bar staff (Sierra, Scott and co.) who made our nightcaps highly enjoyable. BUT, the housekeeping daily on our room was inconsistent. Some days we had to request an adequate number of towels and amount of toilet paper. We also had to accept random daily housekeeping that could occur anywhere from 9am to late afternoon. I suspect that the hotel took advantage of our 8 night stay and 'cut and pasted' housing keeping to our room depending on housekeeping to other rooms where stays were much less. August 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Marty40 Poor recognition of loyal clients Although I am a Lifetime Gold and my travel partner a Platinum 75 member, the hotel refused to grant complimentary access to their Club Lounge. The reservation was in my name. The reason given was that there are too many Platinum members. Even Starwood's Platinum service representative was unable to convince the hotel to make an exception. March 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Meriam Staff are accomodating we had 2 rooms for 2 nights starting 12/27. Power outage in one room on the 1st night. We were not charged for 1 night and parking fees was waived. We forgot cell phone's charger. We called and they promised to call us back and hopefully mail the charger. Hotel & room were not as expected, but service was excellent and very accommodating. December 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alex my stay at Sheraton la Jolla I arrived early in the morning. The person on the reception didn't recognize that I am SPG member. No welcoming smile. The Wi-Fi signal in the room was very slow and in on and off and I couldn't get my work done also I had to go to the lobby and use the hotel computers. The hotel is isolated and away from attractive locations if walking. March 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by mpol Fine hotel. For biz or quick family stay Stayed last week as a Plat. I would consider this more of a biz hotel than a family spot. Next to the highway. Yes, an ok pool. But doesn't really feel like a holiday place. No Plat upgrade. And bar closed at 11pm and there was nothing to eat or drink there after 11pm. Also, poor Internet service. A fine place. But nothing special. August 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dart76 Easy access to I-5 and quick run to airport Everything was fine except for: When we called I asked if a shuttle was available. It was but it was not free and the limo they called charged $55. A coupon for 50% off at Humprey's did not apply to breakfast even tho, we asked the morning after checking in. The fine print did say only for lunch and supper. Suggest you add lunch. January 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul67 Returning Guest Having stayed here 5-6 times over the past two years, it is one of my top 10 favorite hotels to stay in. Rooms are always clean and the lounge is always nicely attended to with great staff. Grounds are pleasant to view. Only negative is the parking fee, which is clearly a money grab. I expect to pay parking at downtown locations. April 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Notafan101 Hidden costs- not impressed The beds and the pool were the only thing good about this hotel. When booking, the website reset the month and booked my reservation wrong. When I called to fix it, they said I would have to pay $150 to cancel the previous reservation, even though it was their site and barely booked. I should have paid it and booked somewhere else. Instead, I paid it and got the reservation for the dates I needed. The bathroom has no exhaust fan, so with 4 adults, you can imagine the embarrassment. The tv never had a clear picture, and there was no DVD player to play movies we had brought. The wi-fi is only for 24 hours, and painfully slow. When we checked out, we had to pay $13/day for parking in the lot. That should be included in the price of the room. At 6:30 in the morning, if you are in a room that faces the parking lot, be ready to be woken up by the garbage truck dumping the dumpster, and for the staff to feign ignorance and treat you like you are making it all up. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by My2014 Great hotel The stay was great! The room had a good view and facilities are great. The staff were very nice and helpful. I definitely recommend Sheraton at La Jolla to my friends. Oh, One thing...we had a trouble opening the parking gate. We had to try inserting the card to open the gate. We hope this problem will be fixed soon. June 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mia24 PSE Membership coordinator Beautiful grounds and well kept up facilities throughout the hotel. October 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by NapaMom Nice grounds and comfortable bed The grounds are really nice, just make sure you get a room facing them! I told them I was a SPG member and gave my card at check in, was given a non SPF room over the back parking lot while my friends who also are SPG members had a nice room looking at the pool with popcorn, water, etc in the room- I wasn't too happy!! February 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MPC1 Service is a weak spot On two recent stays, I found it difficult for someone to answer the phone on the Guest Services line. In fact, it took almost an hour for someone to answer in the early morning time frame. The wait for check-in was longer than necessary. Finally, the service at Humphrey's restaurant was awful. July 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by TravelLady1119 Will NEVER stay here again, Was not given any recognition for my lifetime Gold status. This was to be a month long stay. Checked out after one night. The night manager on duty tried to be helpful but the General manager had no interest in accommodating me for a long stay. Moved to another local hotel, they gave me an amazing room, ocean view. April 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DK29 Awesome! We enjoy staying at this Sheraton! We have visited numerous times over the years and it has been a wonderful experience each time. The food at Humphrey's Grill is amazing. The staff has been attentive and responsive to our needs. We plan to stay again soon. Angela was especially helpful and very customer service oriented. She is to be commended! May 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by unlikely This hotel needs an update The general condition of this hotel needs improvement. The rooms are outdated and the air conditioning system is outdated as well. In our room (405), it stopped working in the middle of the night waking up everyone with a terrible knocking sound. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandys Great hotel in a great location I loved this hotel. The staff was great and the grounds are gorgeous. My only issue was the the door to the room wasn't well sealed and you could hear outside noises. I would suggest being sure that the entrance doors to the room are better sealed. Having said that I love my stay and will stay again!!! July 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mimi10 Great location We stayed here for a long weekend. It was very clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great for getting around San Diego, close to highways, close to a nice mall and various reataurants. Some construction was going on, but it wasn't too bad. We were gone most of the day when they were working. November 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by OrcaBalloons Great Customer Service I stayed there last week for a few days. I have to say William and everyone there were great! Very attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. I had to go back and forth from event to event and William made it a breeze to get a taxi/town car. My stay was overall, very pleasant. I will definitely stay there again! October 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Natalie7 Great updated property I am very selective about my hotels and room and the rooms at property are nicely updated. The best part was the white sheets and white duvet cover. Very comfortable bed. Nice amenities and with an exception of some dust balls around the baseboards, the room was very clean. Definitely recommend this property. January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MoreMemories Another Enjoyable Stay My stay here was VERY relaxing. My suite was spacious, well appointed, and quiet. Front Desk service was SPG quality. I even enjoyed walking to the adjacent mall for dinner at a restaurant and picking up snacks for the room. I did not sample the food and bar services due to their limited holiday schedule. January 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Olias Staff Needs Training I liked this hotel, although it is a bit old and in need of improvement (which is underway). We had some staff problems, from the lack of a bellperson when we arrived to finding a pool attendant to bring towels (none were in any of the bins.) On the plus side, room service food was overall pretty good. February 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by barryj Nice hotel in La Jolla The hotel meet my expectations but I was expecting it to be closer to the main center of town. Unfortunately, the reservationist at your 858 central booking did not tell me the correct information. Your people who handle the reservations should be familiar with both the facilities and their locations. July 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DJ53 Perfect hotel This is the perfect hotel. Clean and comfortable in the room and the perfect vacation spot next to the pool under the palm trees. Breakfast on site was excellent and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and helpful. Stayed there three times over five years and looking forward to going back again. September 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike47 Great stay but ... Really surprised to have to pay for parking as a guest. I've stayed at hotels that have conferences where there is parking fees but it was always waived for guests. Nothing on web site or during reservation regarding parking. In fact, when I checked in and presented the parking stub I was told, "No problem sir, access and exit to parking areas is now on your room card". That would have been a great time to say that there will still be a daily charge. I was told it was all spelled out on the sign to the parking lot. I went back and the word "payment" was only on the conference attendees portion. "Validation" was the wording for guests and restaurant patrons. Do you charge parking when someone uses your restaurant? Whenever I have seen "validation", it means "rates are waived". Terribly disappointing for an otherwise nice stay. Perfect case of being penny wise and pound foolish as i won't stay there again and will discourage others. This will be lost business you will never realize. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Proudmom2012 Executive Club We stayed at this hotel for 5 days while moving our son into college at UCSD and I booked our stay with our AAA membership and chose the Executive Club package. The concierges, especially Jolene, were very helpful and friendly, and our stay was made even better because of their great service. September 26, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jenglv The employees were nice at least This was the worst Sheraton I have ever stayed at. The bed was very uncomfortable, the room was either very very hot or very very cold, and it was so noisy! I could hear the person above showering, talking, using the restroom... It was one of the worst stays at a hotel I have ever had. August 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roamin Beautiful Grounds I booked that morning site unseen. Expecting a high rise and found a Retro 2 story complex, Courtyard styled. Beautiful lush tropical grounds. Went to the onsite grill and was excited about the menu and the service. The rooms were modern, clean, beds were great. Definetly going back March 4, 2013

Scotts riding mower
I have recently acquired a used Scotts 15 hp, 42" cutting deck, riding mower. Model no. 42531X7. It is at least 10 years old and was purchased to replace my 20 year old Montgomery Ward mower of unknown mfg. ( MTD ? ). The Scotts is generally better constructed and in much better shape than the old mower. My mechanic neighbor, who has more experience with mowers than I, believes the Scotts brand was manufactured by John Deere at one time, but I have been unable to find any information on the Web, can anyone shed some light on the history of this mower?
The earlier Scotts were Murray's mfgd for HD. You know the easiest way to differentiate the two is that Murray machines have the fuel tank behind the engine, John Deere machines are behind the seat. Parts support is excellent for these since Briggs and Stratton bought Murray, and you can search for parts right on HD's site.
Actually the easiest way is when the Deere dealer tells you to take it elsewhere. At least they do by me. No Murray or Craftsman for that matter."Due to parts availability" it claims, but we know better. I have found a few Murray things that are nla though but generally Briggs did a good job. BTW Deere built Scotts can have an under hood fuel tank.

While no national politicians
While no national politicians pay any attention to the platform, this is a good way to get anti-Romney conservatives to VOTE for Ron Paul! Remember, we still have over a dozen states to vote in the primary and we need a WIN! I have been telling people to "vote for Ron Paul to move Romney in a fiscally conservative direction"! It works, if you have someone that insists Paul can't win, or Romney has it locked up! It gives them a real reason to vote for Paul without having to fight the media implanted idea that he can't win!

Sections of Pacific Crest Trail Poached by Mountain Bikers; Could Problems Arise in National Parks?
Yesterday I spent about an hour watching CNN coverage of the confirmation hearings for Sotomayor. My main interest was to get a better idea of this jurist's qualifications, but I was also interested in the process. America is a nation of laws, and that's certainly one of the key reasons that this is the greatest country that ever was. Jay may think it's OK for him to to break the law because -- well, because he is a nice guy. 'Scuse me, Jay, but I am not impressed.
Sections of Pacific Crest Trail Poached by Mountain Bikers; Could Problems Arise in National Parks?
Such passion from both sides of the fence! I enjoy riding a mountain bike as much as I enjoy hiking/backpacking in the wilderness. The idea of riding a bike in the wilderness or national park seems wrong and is something I would not do. Living in Southern California, I enjoy both of my passions (biking and hiking) on a variety of trails and avoid most conversations of user entitlement. I completely subscribe to the multi-user mentality of trails outside of designated wilderness zones. While biking, my approach on ANY trail (whether that is the paved beach trail or the PCT) takes into consideration the environmental issues as well as consideration of another trail user's peace & serenity. I ride PCT without hesitation and have done so for over 25 years. Does that make me a bad guy? You make that call. I am ultra conservative when approaching ANY other trail user. I attempt to engage in pleasant conversation and do a very good job at minimizing my impact on anyone else's backcountry trail experience. Does that make me a good guy? You make tha call. However, if you choose to chastize me or attempt to "inform" me that I am a criminal or not supposed to be where I am, I will simply smile and say "have a nice day" and leave you behind. You won't get an argument out of me as to why I feel bikes should be allowed on PCT, nor will you stop me from enjoying what I am doing. People like Chris Anderson who say that most mountain bikers don't care about the environment are making generalizations that I can not agree with. I have found through my trail experiences that the mountain bike community is very involved in trailwork and volunteer work just as much as any other user group.
There are rude, obnoxious bikers AND hikers on the trail. Whether that is a bonehead biker blazing past your group on a narrow section of trail or a clueless group of 20 hikers leaving their trash on the trail, hiking in mud while discussing the damage to the trail tread by "wheeled machines". It's a small world, times change, and we all adapt. Let's try to get over the passionate discord for other "user groups".
There is a lot of angst on this topic and I have found it futile to attempt to provide an argument or justification for my cause. Time will eventually work this out. Perhaps I will be too old to ride legally on the PCT, but that day will come. A day when we can all enjoy the day's adventure and put aside out "titles" of mountain biker, hiker, trail runner, motorcyclist or whatever and unite to be "trail enthusiasts".
Thelma & Louise Redux? Man Drives Car Off South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park
Captain, folks at the park tell me that the driver somehow found a spot without the short wall, so no damage there.
WHEW!!! There is at least one bright spot!!!
Thelma & Louise Redux? Man Drives Car Off South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park
My husband and I had the wonderful, awesome opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon park last September for our birthdays.
As sad as this man's story is, and his resulting death, I wonder how a vehicle tumbling down the walls of the canyon
have affected the canyon itself that took millions of years to form. And how will fluids, gases, etc. effect the
wildlife of the canyon.

Yo, Tee Vee! Take a chill pill and be still! What's with the pessimism? Here are quality actors, an experienced director and what seems like at least a halfway decent idea. As the saying goes "You can't stop progress, you can only slow it down." Take into consideration the following… Give Hollywood at least a little credit for finding a damn fine novel to bring to the screen. If it worked for JAWS, tinkering the story a little can work for this. If "Cathy" can pull off a raw, non-over indulgent special affects budgeted script that doesn't swoon for a sappy ending, this could come out well. Who will play Bonnie's son Ruben? Hopefully not Macaulay Culkin because then you would have a point! If this is set after retirement, I think Clint Eastwood as Seldom Seen, Bill Murray as Hayduke, Redford can play Doc for sure and Cate Blanchett as our beautiful Bonnie. It's a tough call as to the Bishop, Duvall or Goodman.

I used to work at the Canyon, if he drove over the edge near the El Trovar, it obviously was no accident. It would take a pretty good clip to go through the ledges wall....The accident plus the clean-up will undoubtly cause quite a bit of damage to the terrain and will probably close the Bright Angel Trail for a while.
Of Death Marches, Rain, and Misdirected Envy in Death Valley National Park

Traveler's Top 10 Rivers to Ride in the National Park System
I'll strike a blow for the little guys here with one from my personal top ten list: Cedar Creek in Congaree National Park. It lacks the scope and scale of the western rivers that dominate this discussion, but it's a great paddle in a pristine environment about 20 minutes from a capital city. Old growth cypress isn't easy to find these days, and if you're the romantic type that believes (or wants to believe) that ivory-billed woodpeckers still exist, this is often mentioned among the spots where they may have hunkered down.
I'm sure Professor Janiskee won't mind me mentioning this one. ;-)
Thelma & Louise Redux? Man Drives Car Off South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park
Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon is a book (I believe there are other "Death in ..." titles as well) that literally goes through every death recorded inside of the park boundaries. Sadly, as RangerLady mentioned, suicide in our parks is not all that unusual. I believe the author had theories as to why that is; perhaps I'll have to get the book back out and read up on his thoughts.
After looking, it appears that through 2003, there were eleven suicides in nine different cars in park history, ranging back to the late 60's. This was just looking in the suicide chapter...if I recall correctly, there have been multiple accidents involving cars as well, from parents forgetting to set the brake, and having their children roll off the edge, and even people becoming disoriented in parking lots and going the wrong direction. This story above says nothing about suicide, and I'm not trying to infer anything...I just looked in that chapter, because I remember that as being the highest concentration of such accidents.
It was a fascinating book, and written very tastefully. It is a great resource for someone interested in the history of the area, as it not only gives you stories of tourist, hiker, and rafter accidents, which we can all learn from, but it does a great job of mixing in "real" history, the stuff you'd hear from the rangers, or read about in exhibits. Stories of Powell and early river explorers, the Hyde couple, the skeleton of the "Tanner Man" from 1000-1200 AD, and stories of early explorers who met their maker in the Canyon, such as man who Mooney Falls is named after.
Also, as I mentioned, there are books under the same "Death in ..." title for at least a few other major parks, which I would assume are equally as informative and well-written.
Big Cypress National Preserve Proposal Would Greatly Expand Hunting, ORV Use To the Detriment of Florida Panthers
"Dead on Arrival" was my comment to a Sun Sentinel reporter David Fleshler on Friday-July 10, 2009. That was done as an attention getter. Kurt has produced a somewhat accurate article on these issues. I will expand a bit on Kurt's thoughts.
Kurt is correct that the Big Cypress Preserve shut down traditional cultural activities (ORV's, hunting etc.) many years ago due to lack of a plan for the Addition Lands. It didn't have to happen though since NPS could have quickly produced an addendum to the Big Cypress's GMP accompanied by a Wilderness Suitability Assessment and opened the area up to it's long standing Gladesmen Cultural Community who was instrumental in the creation of Big Cypress Preserve as well as the Addition. No, instead NPS saw to it that those folks were banished in order to let the grass grow for many years so as to enable themselves the ability to generate the Wilderness Assessment conclusion of Suitable being used to support this plan's Wilderness Proposal, whatever it is eventually. Many local knowledgable people like myself with decades of experience in this area cannot agree with much of the Wilderness Proposals of this plan considering that Interstate 75 runs through the middle of the Addition with 23.000 semi-s and automobiles per day passing through from East to West according to FDOT statistics. That is a lot of mechanized sound discernable for miles from the highway along with a complete loss of anyones sense of solitude or being unconfined. NPS Wilderness criteria has morphed over the years sadly to the point of allowing this over interpretation to be used to justify this plan's Alternatives.
Folks also need to know that Panthers are populated so heavily in South Florida now that there are Panther warning signs in urban areas near large cities like Naples and Fort Myers. The cats seem to be everywhere but due to over-protection have lost any instinct to avoid developed areas or they are well over the carrying capacity of available land. Restricting ORV's or proposing Wilderness in the Addition Land will not solve those type problems. The sad result for Panthers is that nowhere else in the Southeastern U.S. wants Florida Panthers reintroduced in their State due to severe negative impacts caused by their Endangered Species status on every human endeavor. NPCA is concerned about fragmentation of Panther habitat South of I-75. I cannot agree with a concept of worry that this animal can't cross a 12 foot wide ORV trail easily. Maybe he misunderstood that the 1/2 mile non-wilderness corridors would be the width of the trail-that is not the case. Existing designated ORV trails in the main Preserve being used now are 12 foot wide. Another misunderstanding by Mr. Adornato from NPCA is that NPS will be putting trails through Mullet Slough. NPS will not install new trails for ORV's: they will only authorize use of existing trails that have been there for decades. In fact many of them are old ox-cart routes from Florida's settlment or old Army trails from many many years ago. I know Mr. Adornato, he's a nice chap but he is a well paid executive of NPCA- a group with a specific agenda that he is well paid to promote and somewhat newly acquainted with South Floridas extremely durable habitats. The Everglades according to a friend of mine's terminology is "John Wayne Tough". That is the real truth whether outsiders can open their minds to accept it or not. The only permanent harm done to South Floridas habitats has been done with a drag-lines and bulldozers.
Hopefully we all could work together to institute a plan that will afford all Americans with a wide range of physical abilities an opprotunity to experience all the wonders of the Addition Land without seeking exclusive use of an area to the detriment of their fellow Americans.
Big Cypress National Preserve Proposal Would Greatly Expand Hunting, ORV Use To the Detriment of Florida Panthers
I'm usually against ORVs, but in South Florida I can understand the need for them. I worked 3 winters down there and it would be next to impossible to hunt without them. Hunting can be a good thing if done responsibly and it's a great way to get rid if the invasive hogs while providing some yummy food. But like the articles says, it isn't regulated very well. As with all NPS sites, there's a shortage of rangers and the poaching is terrible. In the time I was there we had a bobcat and an alligator shot right outside of the education center. One law enforcement officer had to move to another park because he caught some big wig poaching and his life was in danger. I definitly think they need rangers before even thinking about opening more trails.
As for the panther, they really have to do whatever they can to help this animal. When I talked about the panther, people would often comment "it's just a mountain lion, those aren't even endangered. This is just a subspecies." Then those same people would be up in arms over protecting the key deer. Why are predators always put on the backburner? They are essential and this is the only predator in that area. There is almost no habitat left and as it is, 5-10 are killed on roads every year. Lets not put more roads with noisy machines that scare animals away right in the middle of theit habitat

I think it's happened a few times, and not only in Grand Canyon. A few people have driven over the edge in Death Valley...usually they aren't found until the military flies overhead. I've often wondered why people love to commit suicide in the parks.
Of Death Marches, Rain, and Misdirected Envy in Death Valley National Park
If you go to DEVA in the spring, be very careful where you camp if you use a tent! Strong daily heating & cooling produces strong morning & evening winds, especially near the moths of canyons. Mesquite Spring up by Scotty's Castle has some sheltered sites.
Of Death Marches, Rain, and Misdirected Envy in Death Valley National Park
The only time I'd been to Death Valley was for less than 3 hours. It was 126 deg F at Badwater late afternoon in late June. I got a couple of Icees at the Furnace Creek Store. You wouldn't believe how fast they started melting.
I will return one of these days when the weather is more conductive to hiking. I've heard every year they find some tourist who dies from heat stroke while hiking. For some reason, European tourists seem to want to trying summer hiking in Death Valley. Especially Germans.
Traveler's Top 10 Rivers to Ride in the National Park System
FYI - the NPS canned the waiting list for non-commercial Colorado River launches. It's now a weighted annual lottery system, where those who were on the old waiting list get more chances. I'm thinking a lot of people remember the scene from "Into the Wild" where Christopher McCandless is at the Lees Ferry ranger station, and finds out the wait for a launch date will be over a decade.

Uh oh: 30 more minutes for Tebowmania to come to New England... - 0 Comments
Well, this is completely unexpected. By me, at least. Yup, Tebowmania is running wild in Denver.
After 30 minutes, it's Broncos 20, Steelers 6. Yes, really. I didn't mix up the numbers or anything.
Broncos QB Tim Tebow had no completions in the first quarter, as his team amassed just eight yards of offense. Ho hum, Tebow responded with 185 yards in the air on just five completions, including a 58-yarder to Demaryius Thomas. He's got three passes of 30-yards-or-more.

Need Help - Garden Layout - Trellis Spacing!
I'm setting up a new garden here in Nova Scotia (moved from AB) and we're planning on doing raised beds on top of some marginal soil/hardpan with a strong emphasis on trellis/vining plants.
I'm laying it out now, and am debating between north-south beds at the north end of our garden parallel to each other, or between one long east-west bed at the north end of the garden.
My question is - how far apart would the trellises (7' tall) need to be from each other as far as bed spacing to avoid casting shade on one another? These are heat lovers (tomatoes, beans, squash etc.)
If I could figure that out without actually setting everything up and growing first (bad idea!) I could make up my mind :).
Thanks for any help!
oh. i just composed the following post before i noticed that the date of your original post was some time ago. this probably isn't too helpful and you have probably already made your decision. How did it turn out? did you decide to do north south trellises?
my original response:
it likely depends on how much total sun your garden plot gets in the summer months when these plants will be growing. then you can just put up a trellis or a pole the right height and see if the morning or afternoon shade will reduce the next door beds hours of light too much.
I am less far north than you but I am experimenting with north south rows that have trellises. the reason i decided that this would work for me is that my plot gets something like 14 hours of sunshine in the summer... and we have lots of 95 degree plus days here in northern utah. so a little shade probably won't hurt.
it also allows me to attempt to plant crops that are less heat tolerant (like potatoes) between the trellised crops with the hope that they will do better than if they were scorched through the summer.
i have 8 16' x 3.5' beds with paths between and am trellising in 3 of them: pole beans, tomatoes and squash/cukes/melons.

DEFINITION of 'Distressed Securities'
A financial instrument in a company that is near or is currently going through bankruptcy. This usually results from a company's inability to meet its financial obligations. As a result, these financial instruments have suffered a substantial reduction in value. Distressed securities can include common and preferred shares, bank debt, trade claims (goods owed) and corporate bonds.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Distressed Securities'
Due to their reduction in value, distressed securities often become attractive to investors who are looking for a bargain and are willing to accept a risk. Because most of the time these companies end up filing for Chapter 11 or 7, there are substantial risks involved in investing in them. As a result of bankruptcy, equity (common shares) is rendered worthless so those who invest depressed securities look at more senior instruments such as bank debt, trade claims and bonds.
The logic behind this investment is that the company's situation is not as bad as the market believes it to be and either the company will survive or there will be enough money upon liquidation to cover the original investment.
