I'm at the point now where I wish they would just say "Star Trek has always focused mainly on the story of the Federation, and this game will be too" and just add Roms and Cards as "mini factions":
Then they could do the same thing with the Cardassians on the 4 year. I might not be everything I'd like to see, but I can honestly say I would enjoy playing Rom/Card alts on the side even with limited content.
War hammer was focused on the alliance. Wow focussed on humans and elves. Star wars focused on jedis. After the initial flood of subscribers factions always even out.
Even in star trek. Despite the poll you took

U.S. CIO Steven VanRoekel (left) and GSA Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini are among the keynote speakers at this year's Executive Leadership Conference.
Leaders of the federal IT community are heading to Colonial Williamsburg, Va., for the 2012 Executive Leadership Conference. The three-day event, which starts on Sunday, Oct. 28, will focus this year on mobility, workforce and big data.
The annual ELC is organized by the American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council and draws thousands of attendees every year. This year's plenary session speakers include Steven VanRoekel, U.S. CIO, Dan Tangherlini, acting administrator at the General Services Administration, and David Wennergren, assistant deputy chief management officer at the Defense Department.
This year's conference theme "charting a course" alludes to government and industry navigating through dramatic changes over the past decade. Kelly O'Donnell, political reporter at NBC News, will kick off the Monday sessions with a morning keynote. The lunchtime presentation will focus on the Quadrennial Government Technology Review, followed by afternoon tracks and networking reception.
The ELC Awards round off the evening with U.S. Army Col Gregory Gadson, Fort Belvoir garrison commander, delivering a keynote. The banquet honors individuals who have made a significant contribution to ACT-IAC and the federal IT community during the prior year. In 2011, Craig Luigart, CIO at the Veterans Health Administration,received the Janice K. Mendenhall Spirit of Leadership Award – one of four honors to be presented at the awards.
Tuesday's sessions begin with a morning presentation by VanRoekel and Jim Cheng, secretary of commerce and trade for the Commonwealth of Virginia. That session is followed by a fireside chat with several government officials, including Mary Armstead, acting associate director of the National Institute of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Policy Management, and Lisa Schlosser, federal deputy CIO.
The conference wraps up around noontime with a CXO Town Hall featuring NASA CIO Linda Cureton, Mary Davie, acting commissioner at the Federal Acquisition Service at the General Services Administration, and Wennergren participating.
Last year, sessions and keynotes heavily focused on mobile and cloud, and the innovation within the realms. Panelists and speakers raised – and sometimes answered-- questions about mobile technologies: How to build trust in an increasingly interconnected world? How to best manage mobile employees? How can a mobile workforce best do its job and get the tools it needs?
A panel also explored what would soon emerge on the mobile technology side and some of the challenges in adding devices to the networks. Tod Sizer, vice president of the Wireless Research Lab at Bell Labs, showcased the "lightRadio" cube -- a palm-sized device that operates like a portable cell phone tower.
More information about the 2012 event, including agenda and tracks, can be found on ACT-IAC's website.

Many parents offer kids this additional freedom around 11 or 12. It's fun to be on your own with your friends, and you will probably feel pretty grown up! Before you go, be sure to go over some basic rules, like what time you'll be picked up and precisely where. Also, stay safe by not talking to strangers or wandering off somewhere other than where you're supposed to be.
Keep in touch with your mom or dad and be sure to be exactly where you said you'd be when it's pickup time. That way, they'll be more likely to say "yes" when you ask for another trip to the movies!

The Last Song
Breaking away from my traditional close-up bird portraiture, here's a lovely digiscoped photograph of an Eastern Meadowlark surveying his domain at a field near Airport Road in Middleton this morning. When I was born in 1966, nearly 25 million of these gorgeous black, brown, yellow, and white grassland birds graced our fields and prairies, singing their sweet melody of notes. In just my lifetime their numbers have plummeted over 70%. The meadowlark in this photograph will sing throughout spring, establish and defend a territory, pair up with a mate, and with a little luck they'll bring forth their progeny into this world. But to what end?
Mortality is high for them and their young will probably never experience their own spring migration. Our greed for commerce and land may have already sealed the fate for Eastern Meadowlarks. With little mercy, our veritable national motto "bigger, better, faster, more" is pushing this species toward the brink of impossible recovery. Through no fault of his own evolutionary makeup, he can't possibly know what's coming and what we're planning. With regret and no one else to blame, the last paragraph of the final chapter on Eastern Meadowlarks seems to be written.
The common bird isn't as cherished, but we should reverse this unwise tendency of our character. In no way would my sense of value for this species be diminished if their numbers were as high today as they were 40 years ago. The meadowlark pictured above is telling us a story through his melodious song. He sings how he, and unseen millions of his brethren before him, once dominated North America's grasslands … for tens of thousands of years. That such an incredible legacy across a huge expanse of time can cease to exist so abruptly should serve as a warning, but I'm fairly certain too few of us can be bothered to be away from our televisions long enough to listen to a meadowlark's song. The last Eastern Meadowlark will look just like this one. The bird of the future will sing the same song, but then there will be no answer.

The People V. Eva Ruiz-Gomez
A Family-court battle turns ugly as a mom faces felony charges of interfering with the rights of her son's father. Read more
1 - 9 of 9 Comments Last updated Sep 11, 2013
#1 Dec 7, 2012
There are so many false and inaccurate statements that have been fed to the media by Eva and her supporters. This latest article opens a can of worms for Eva. I will address several issues that Eva herself has brought up. Even though the media has not disclosed the child's name, all one has to do is google Eva's name and her picture, her son's picture, and pictures of the rest of the family are all over the internet. It appears Eva will go to any length to gain "sympathy". Eva has quite a way of coming across as a "victim". She is very talented in that arena. Eva's alleged medical condition continues to be addressed in almost every article the media has generated. Perhaps in an attempt to gain sympathy? People with alleged medical conditions are capable of and do commit criminal acts and or violate laws. It is bizarre that when her son was asked if he had ever witnessed one of her seizures he stated "no". How is it possible that a 14 year old boy who has lived with his mother his entire life has never witnessed his mother's alleged seizures. Does that mean Eva's seizures only began to occur during the last two years? Is there any medical documentation supporting this alleged medical condition? Eva's so called "seizures" seem to only occur during court proceedings. Even more bizarre is that Eva's own family ( her mother and 19 year old daughter) seem at times to be completely unaffected by Eva's seizures. During one of Eva's seizures (during a court proceeding) Eva had a seizure while outside the courtroom.
#2 Dec 9, 2012
The most recent seizure was again outside the courtroom during court proceedings. Eva was instructed by the judge to call her son's soccer coach to ask him what time a soccer game was to take place the following day. Eva went outside to ask for a phone so she could call the soccer coach. Eva had a seizure, but even more peculiar is that the soccer coach was standing outside the court room and even stated something similar to "I'm right here". Eva intentionally omitted this fact to the judge that the soccer coach was right outside the courtroom and there was no need to call him via telephone. Perhaps another tactic to make things more difficult for the father, Ramon Munoz, to spend time with his son. During one of the many family court proceedings, the judge instructed Eva to tell her son during a reunification therapy session, to openly tell her son that she wanted him to have a relationship with his father. Eva was instructed to do this in front of a counselor and her son. She never did this and was not held accountable because the statement the judge made was not put on the record.
#3 Dec 9, 2012
Eva and her attorney also stated in their many declarations and responses that her son does not want to have a relationship with his father, Ramon. They also stated that if given the opportunity the boy would tell the judge this. The boy did get the opportunity to speak with the judge. To every one's surprise, the judge was the only person allowed to ask the boy questions. Neither Eva's or Ramon's attorney were allowed to ask the boy questions. The judge asked the boy something similar to "Is there any thing you want me to know or tell me". The boy, nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and stated "no". He did not tell the judge that he did not want a relationship with his father. The 14 year old boy, who is articulate did not tell the judge what Eva and her attorney were alleging. Of course Eva and her attorney were not happy with the outcome of the court proceeding. During the most recent court proceeding, the judge met with the boy again, at Eva and her attorney's request. The judge acknowledged the boy's dislike for the reunification therapy. The judge asked the boy what time his soccer games ended so his father, Ramon could pick him up. The judge also asked the boy if he would like his younger brother (Ramon's 8 year old son) to come along for the visits and the boy stated "yes". The boy NEVER refused to go or stated that he did not want to go with Ramon. The judge explained to the boy to meet his father outside of his residence at a specific time and that his father, Ramon would be picking him up for scheduled visits. The boy agreed to these terms without any objections. Despite the court ordered visits, Eva and her supporters have continued to interfere with these court ordered visits. During one of these court order visits, Ramon, drove to Eva's residence as scheduled. The boy was not waiting outside of the residence as directed by the judge. One of Eva's supporter's, Sylvia Shih, walked the boy to Ramon's vehicle where he and his young son were waiting. Sylvia stood in front of the boy preventing him from getting in his father's vehicle. Sylvia went on to ask Ramon if he loved his son. Ramon respectfully told Sylvia that he did in fact love his son and that was why he was there to pick up his son. The boy who was standing behind Sylvia, was unable to get into the vehicle and appeared to be on the verge of tears and walked away. The boy has never told his father that he does not want to go with him. He only says, "Im sorry....Im not going.
#4 Dec 9, 2012
Eva also brought Sylvia to one of the reunification therapy sessions. The counselors did not request Sylvia's presence and were oblivious as to who she was. Sylvia went as far as to give her input and ask the therapists questions about the therapy sessions. The therapists told Sylvia they could not discuss the therapy sessions with her. This is another example of how Eva will go to any lengths to tear down the relationship Ramon and his son have slowly started to rebuild. Eva has gone through at least three different attorneys in the criminal case. Her supporter's say that is because she is not willing to "cop" to a plea bargain. Her attorneys have filed the same motions over and over again with no success. Perhaps to delay the criminal case even longer.
#5 Dec 9, 2012
Eva has also gone through at least three attorneys in the civil case. I think this is indicative that Eva is not willing to compromise and is against Ramon having a relationship with his son. Ramon has only had ONE attorney for the civil case. Eva and her many attorneys have alleged that Ramon improperly served Eva with a subpoena when he filed for visitation in the early 2000s. Eva and her attorneys initially stated that Eva was not in the country during that time. After Ramon provided date and time stamped photographs of both Eva and his son that were taken at her mother's apartment (in Seaside) Eva changed her story. Eva also alleged that her then 16 year old sister was improperly served. The process server knocked on the door of Eva's mother's apartment and asked for Eva. After the door was opened, the process server saw Eva (whom she recognized from photographs) run into a bedroom and hide. The process server left the paperwork in the apartment and left. Eva was adamant that she was not in the apartment. Why would she not call her sister to testify on her behalf? Her sister is of legal age now. Eva told a reporter that she and her sister have a strained relationship. Their relationship is rumored to be strained because of an inheritance. Eva's deceased aunt left Eva and her siblings an inheritance that Eva allegedly used to start her bed and breakfast. Eva allegedly did not divide the inheritance among her siblings. Eva also stated that her 19 year old daughter graduated from high school in Mexico where the family was living. Eva's daughter graduated from Carmel high approximately 2-3 years ago. The D.A. investigator, Infantes, has been vilified by Eva and her supporters. They failed to mentioned that Infantes attempted to speak with Eva and her husband, Mailo on numerous occasions and left his business card for them. Eva never contacted Infantes perhaps thinking this would just go away.
#6 Dec 9, 2012
This case was no surprise to Eva. When Ramon was given temporary custody of his son, the criminal court ordered that Eva have no contact with her son. During the short time, Ramon had his son, he took his son to one of the boy's soccer games. While at the soccer game, Eva's family gave the boy a cell phone so he could secretly communicate with his mother. The cell phone was later found hidden underneath the boy's mattress. If Ramon was uncaring and vengeful like he is being portrayed, he could have easily reported the incident to authorities, and additional charges could have been filed against Eva. Eva herself admitted secretly communicating with her son via the cell phone in one of the media articles. On one occasion Ramon overheard his son speaking with Eva. He could hear Eva ask their son, "Did you tell them about......how do they know about.....?" Eva was interrogating their son and asking him what information he had divulged. The boy was on the verge of tears. Ramon has been accused of being a "dead beat" dad and only wanting to use his son as a tax write off or reduce his child support. That is absolutely not true! Ramon continued to pay child support for his son until it was stopped by the dept. of child support services. Ramon's entire family has been emotionally and financially effected by Eva's actions. Ramon's young children are also being effected by the separation from their brother. They often ask for him and ask when they will be able to see their brother. Both Ramon and his wife work full time to provide for their young family and to cover Ramon's attorney and legal fees. Eva has stated she and her family are financially strained because her husband is the sole provider. These days being a stay at home mom is a luxury and more of a personal choice. Times are tough! One final suggestion to all of Eva's supporters, I suggest you find an honorable worthy cause like cancer research or donating money to a local food bank. Eva's legal defense for a criminal case is NOT a worthy cause. Eva is not being "persecuted" because she is Hispanic or a female. Eva broke the law, simple as that! Is your head spinning from so many inconsistencies?! I have only scratched the surface, there are so many deliberate lies and half truths. The views herein expressed are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of Ramon, his attorney or any other person.
#7 Dec 13, 2012
I seen her kind and how they work the system and use people if indeed this is all true.
#8 Dec 14, 2012
Eva is a master manipulator. Too bad she is hurting the person (her son) she supposedly loves the most.
#9 Sep 11, 2013
Are you still a supporter of Eva? Were you aware that Eva is now separated from her loving husband, Mailo. Eva is now living with and romantically involved with Mr. Munoz's cousin, Ricardo Ramos. Yes, you read the previous sentence correctly! Eva is "shacking" up with a family member of Mr. Munoz. Furthermore Eva's children are no longer living with her. According to a confidential source Eva and Mr. Munoz's son, Enrique, is living with his grandmother (Eva's mother). It is unknown with whom Eva's youngest daughter is living with. Eva occasionally visits with her youngest daughter on the weekends. Why would someone who fought so hard to keep her allegedly happy family together abandon her children. I would have to assume Eva's lies have finally caught up to her and her true colors are showing. So I ask you again, are you still a supporter of Eva?

well kids, here are the steps of meat cleaving. but first, you need to make sure you have the necessary ingredients: a rubber hammer, and a willing participant. Now, you simply take the hammer and continuely tenderize the participant's holes. until they bleed uncontrollably. after that you may go enjoy some falopian dinner.
i was at the market. and i saw this girl i totally wanted to go meat cleaving with.....and then we did.

It provides the guiding principles and practical framework for effective written and spoken communication. Modern rhetoric can help fight the current literacy crisis in our schools--it is a vital tool for teaching students to write logically and persuasively.
Alphabetically arranged
This alphabetically-arranged reference guide surveys the field, covering rhetoric's principles, concepts, applications, practical tools, and major thinkers. Rhetoric is increasingly studied in the context of other disciplines, such as anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy, because its well-established rules and time-honored methods are useful for developing modern communications and writing skills.
Draws on expertise of 288 contributors
Drawing on the scholarship and expertise of 288 contributors, the Encyclopediapresents a long-needed overview of rhetoric and its role in contemporary education and communications, discusses rhetoric's contributions to various fields, surveys the applications of this versatile discipline to the teaching of English and language arts, and illustrates its usefulness in all kinds of discourse, argument, and exchange of ideas. The coverage has been tailored to meet the needs of American teachers and students.
Each entry followed by a bibliographyFollowing each entry is a bibliography of key texts and recommended reading. Cross-references, a comprehensive index, and a list of entries and contributors make this unique reference work easy to use.
The Encyclopedia's 467 entries take four forms:
brief identification of figure, term, or concept (Hugh Blair, commonplaces, kairos) * elaborate notes (exposition, hermeneutics, Nietzsche) * essays that explore a subject in depth (Aristotle, ethos, feminist rhetoric) * extended articles that illuminate rhetoric's art and methodology (argument, composition studies, invention)

The first thing any hockey player wants to learn (when it comes to shooting) is how to lift the puck. The problem is many players try all kinds of different methods and try anything and everything to raise the puck. In this article I am going to teach you the proper technique for lifting the puck that can also be used in the wrist shot, snapshot and other shots.
The great thing about this technique is that it is also used to help control the accuracy of your shot, and accuracy is one of the most important aspects of every shot.
How to Lift the Puck in 2 easy steps
- Start with the blade cupping the puck to keep the puck from coming off your stick
- Roll your wrists to open the blade, this will allow the puck to lift off the ice
- Push down with your top hand, and pull up with your bottom hand to add some power
- If you are further from the net you will need to roll your wrists in the follow through, this will allow you to lift the puck, but also control its height
Want more tips to improve your shot? We have lots of articles and videos for shooting in our shooting tips section

#NBArank's top 5 ... for 2018-19
Irving, Wall, Davis among potential superstars five seasons from now
ESPN.com unveils its top 5 of #NBArank for 2013-14 on Tuesday, and in its third year of organizing players in order prior to the start of the season, it's interesting to see how names change. Ultimately, the list is about context: where you've been and where we expect you to be this season. Within this framework, we see some players ascend in stature while Father Time simultaneously claims others.
For example, in the first incarnation of #NBArank, in 2011-12, James and Paul were joined by Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki. While we can reasonably expect a return to prominence by Howard (as he continues to recover from 2012 back surgery), the reality is Wade and Nowitzki likely will never see those heights again.
If there can be such rampant change in the span of two seasons, it makes one wonder what the top 5 will look like in five seasons' time. Here are 10 players who have never been in the top five but who have the chance to be there in 2018-19.
Barring devastating injury, Irving is a mortal lock to make this list, most likely a lot sooner than 2018. Last season, I wrote about what made him so special, as well as what stands in his way of becoming a truly great player. In five years, he'll be a ripe old 26 years of age, the prime of his career, and hopefully will have corrected his defensive flaws, or at the very least improved from bad to mediocre. The Cavs have retooled the roster significantly this season, so now is the time for Irving to step up in his effort and attention to detail.

AUSTRALIA: Two Dogs has not had its day
Two Dogs, Pernod Ricard's highly successful Australian alcopop, is not being withdrawn from its home market - at least not yet.Media reports that the brand was about to disappear were premature, Two Dogs' regional sales director, Australia and Asia, Ruth Yong, told just-drinks.com.The brand is powering ahead with its exports, particularly to Japan where sales of 1m cases (300% growth) are expected this year.The world's first brewed alcoholic lemonade, Two Dogs has been hit hard by increased excises under Australia's new tax system which started on July 1.The cost of a case has increased from about $45 to $49, putting it at a price disadvantage with competing pre-mixed spirits, the prices of which had dropped.Yong said that withdrawing the product was just one option being considered. Others included changing the product to include malt and hops so that it attracted a lower excise, the same as beer."Or we could leave it as it is," she said.The inclusion of malt and hops would make the product similar to a drink brewed in Two Dog's home city of Adelaide by Lion Nathan's South Australian Brewing Company and exported to about 30 countries.It would also be the same as the Two Dogs product brewed under licence in the US specifically for this market.Consumer tastings were currently being conducted to assess whether Australian consumers would accept the alternative product. Currently, the Australian arm of HP Bulmer brews Two Dogs' local product. Launched in 1993, Two Dogs was taken over by Pernod Ricard in 1997.Chris Snow

MICHAELS RESTAURANT: Get the fondue!
Michael's is quite pricey and known for its expensive and tasty steaks. However, it is also one of the few restaurants where you can get homemade fondue. There are about 5 different types to choose from. We got the beer cheese fondue, which comes out in a big iron pot with a heaping tray of fresh vegetables, freshly baked bread, roast chicken, sausages, and fruit. More than enough food for two people, the fondue costs $28, which is a steal for such a fun and filling meal in Key West. You have to eat it at the bar, which is not a hardship because the bartender is excellent and the drinks are top-shelf.
Favorite Dish: Highly recommend the fondue-- you can afford it, though maybe you couldn't afford the $40 a plate steak dishes.
MICHAELS RESTAURANT: Stay away!!!!!!!!!! It's too good for you.
Inside and outside seating...I sit outside, or eat at the bar when there are too many irritating tourists taking up the tables so us local's can't even get to our favorite resturants!
If you are a tourist, stay away from this place...or at least, ask when you call in what percentage of reservations are for tourists...if it is over 50% then stay away!!!!!!!
I'm almost to the point where I'll do construction work all day and get good and stinky. Then not shower and go to Michaels and scare all the tourists away. The locals all know me and would just laugh and buy me a beer.
Favorite Dish: Soooo Many, but:
Tuna - Any way they make it is great!
Shrimp and Scallops Linguini
and for desert: Chocolate Volcano.
MICHAELS RESTAURANT: Gourmet Experience
Some long time residents of Key West told us about Michaels as we were waiting to be seated at Mangia-Mangia. Michaels did not disappoint. The food and the service were outstanding.
Favorite Dish: I had the house specialty- Filet au Forno- steak that was so tender you could cut it with a butter knife. It was roasted with garlic and topped with blue cheese. Joe had the veal chop. We got a laugh at the fact that the meat was flown in from Chicago (where we are from).
MICHAELS RESTAURANT: elegant dining fountainside
nestled among the charming tropical back streets of
Key West's Old Town District. Come discover a garden oasis where Chef Michael Wilson
and his wife Melanie offer a classic menu with an island twist.
Favorite Dish: The steak is the thing here- of course, the seafood if fresh and grand but, I love the filet!For a special treat, Michaels Restaurant offers fondue at the garden bar. Wonderful martinis abound and take a date- they'll love it!

good book want to read agian but suitable for ages 16-17 cuz of sensual parts
this book was so good that i wanted to read it again right after i finished it!!
Interesting story, easily finished in one night. I thought the author did a good job of relating the atmosphere and language of high school students while telling a wider story. I disagree with one reviewer who said the ending was disappointing- I think it was very thoughtful and well done. Not tidy, but real.
Great for a high school student! Even better for a student interested in photography. Deals with family life, adult drug abuse, and friendship.
Fast paced, a good quick read. Humorous in parts and a commendable effort in story line. Well written , however the ending does leave the reader , without really giving the book away, disappointed.

Cedar Chest
I have an older hand-made cedar chest. Unfortunately the builder finished the inside with either varnish or poly-something. Am I gonna hafta sand all the finish off the inside, or will a stripper remove it & let the cedar smell come out? I really don't want to stick my head inside to get this done, but I guess I don't have a choice here.
I'm going to disagree -- sanding is probably the worst approach. You will go through a lot of time, a lot of sandpaper, and not remove it all.
You have two problems here:
1. Oil-based varnish on the inside of a closed chest is going to off-gas and smell for years. The whole purpose of a cedar-lined chest is to leave the cedar unfinished so its aroma fills the inside.
2. Cedar has natural oils that turn most finishes soft and gooey. Worse in a closed environment.
Your best bet is to use a chemical stripper on the inside. You can do this carefully and not affect the outside. Mask off the finished exterior with 3M 2060 "lacquer tape." Remove the excess stripper with the product directed by the stripper, or acetone. Do all this in a well-ventilated area.
Leave the case open and let it dry thoroughly for a couple of days. A fan would help.
Lightly sand the interior.
If this is a Lane chest, there is a recall on the locks that will avoid child suffocation. Lane chests from made from 1912 to 1987 on have an unsafe lock. They will send you one free and it takes about 10 minutes to install (3 to 6 wood screws). The new locks have to be locked from the outside. The old locks will lock when the lid is simply closed.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lock recall
Find out what the finish is first.
Try denatured alcohol (softens shellac) then lacquer thinner (soften lacquer).
Nothing can reverse varnish or polyurethane without chemically breaking them down (not the same as simply dissolving it).
The polymerization reaction is not reversible.
While sanding is likely to be the most difficult method, it has the least chance of leaving odors behind you may not like in your stored items.

In 1943, US Navy launched an experiment near Philadelphia, in which a battle ship with the crew, became invisible due to a special electro-magnetic field. The ship not only disappeared, but reappeared in a different place and a different day, and the crew has gone mad as well.
This is a REAL time travel case, not a fiction!
Hi George;
It was a destroyer not a battleship. Some of the crew went mad, some died during the experiment. The name of the experiment is the name of that city you mention. The place you are referring to in the title is a supposedly secret base on the extreme eastern part of Long Island.
This is a REAL time travel case, not a fiction!
Depending on what side you are on and where you live, some will say true and some will say what they have to.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
I agree with you regarding the satisfaction and importance of actually computing some numbers. I can't tell you how often I see time and money wasted because someone didn't bother to run the numbers.

If the officer appears in court, you may be fined and be place on court supervision. The ticket may also go on your driving record.
There are different court costs affiliated with the dispositions of traffic matters, which vary based on whether you receive supervision vs. a conviction and if you are also assessed a fine. It is almost impossible to put an exact dollar amount on what you will be fined and what the costs will be prior to your attendance in court and without knowing your specific traffic background. Additionally, you have to be careful about not receiving 3 or more moving traffic convictions within a year,...
When the 2005 DUI was reduced to a reckless, it would not count as a DUI conviction. The Secretary of State still keeps track of the 2005 arrest, however, your 2007 DUI is the only DUI that should be recognized as a conviction. You will need to check with your state regarding the requirements to reinstate your license and I recommend that you retain an attorney to assist you in the process.

Rick Perry and Mitt Romney clashed from the opening bell of a Republican presidential candidates' debate Wednesday, challenging each other on job creation, health care and Social Security in pointed exchanges that signaled their burgeoning rivalry is likely to dominate the contest in the months ahead.

Grab Your 'Murse,' Pack a 'Mankini' And Don't Forget the 'Mewelry'
The fashion industry has its knickers in a twist over "manties." A contraction of "man" and "panties," the wordplay is meant to describe certain undergarments for males. It's part of a special lexicon that has emerged, over the past decade, as a sort of shorthand for men's fashion. Men can also wear "mandals" (male sandals), "murses" (purses), "mantyhose" (pantyhose) and "mankinis" (swimsuit variants) though not necessarily all at the same time. WSJ's Christina Passariello brings us the lingo that will make every man cringe. Download MP3

"Pleasant stay."
I like this hotel. Clean, comfy, and affordable. Nothing really negative that needs to be pointed out. Overall, this is a great place.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient and quiet"
The staff was very helpful and professional. Everything was clean and in perfect working order. Made our stay very nice. Even though the hotel was close to the highway the area was very quiet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel, cheaper than Galveston but still close"
Nice hotel, cheaper than Galveston but still close. Everyone was very friendly.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very clean, very nice, very comfortable"
I booked two rooms. I had events in Galveston but didn't want to pay the high prices. This place was PERFECT!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not a good experience"
Never got to stay. We arrived to check in. We had a reservation paid. for. Told the lady at hotel.com we had a small dog 2 times. The website said dogs were ok. She made a note of the dog. Took our credit card number and charged us for the room one night. We arrived to check in and the manager said it would be $75.00 NON Refundable deposit for our little […] chi chi. No where on the website said there was a deposit nor did the lady from hotels.com. So we did not check in. We left but I did get a refund from hotels.com. Would I stay there again no! Not dog friendly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel that's close to everything"
Excellent, we really enjoyed our stay! There is really much else to say.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Would stay again."
The rooms were like a home away from home. Beds were very comfortable. Laundry was free just needed your own soap. The only complaint was my tv was dark because it was on energy saving mode and couldn't change it. Very comfortable stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
clean and easy to findGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"You call those pillows?"
The pillows were a joke. Very small and flat. I had to buy a pillow at Wal-Mart for $2.50 that was bigger and fluffier. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable, the laundry was free and the fridge had an ice maker. We will stay here again but bring our own pillows.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"would recommend"
We stayed at this hotel for the weekend. It's about 15 minutes from the Kemah boardwalk & about 20 minutes from Galveston (we did not take the ferry). We were surprised at how big the room & bathroom were. It has a full kitchen complete w/ dishwasher, stovetop, microwave, & dishes/cookware. We were very pleased with the room. The only negative thing […] is the bed was slightly uncomfortable but did not cause us to lose sleep. We only stayed 2 nights so an extended stay might cause trouble sleeping. We brought our own towels and were happy we did; the towels they provided were thin & scratchy. Overall a good experience & would stay here again for another weekend trip.

"very good place to stay and enjoy"
liked it very much nice place to stayGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Overall A+Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very nice hotel, wish I could have found one closer to my venue.Will stay againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to the Texas City Fishing"
Was a great time. Enjoyed the stay and very relaxing. Not sure what the big deal was about 2 extra pillows and having to bring them back to the front desk when checking out. But close to many things and over all the room was pretty great. Yes I would use them again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Rooms not cleaned next morning. Staff rude."
Staff was rude . Rooms not cleaned every day. Had to ask for clean towels.Genuine Expedia guest review
No complaints on the room, it was clean and nicely appointed.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great stay"
My boyfriend and I wanted a room that was near pleasure pleasure pier but not in Galveston, this place was perfect, we were about 20 min from the pier, the room was very clean and we really enjoyed our stayGenuine Hotels.com guest review
well it was ok stay,except the 50.00 billing to my debit card,that there holding for 10 days.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Smelly Room and unfriendly Staff"
The room was stuffy, and smelled horrible. The staff very unfriendly. Housekeeping does not clean the rooms, until checkout. For extra towels you have to return your used once to the front desk. Yuck !! The room was clean but the smell made it feel dirty. I do not recommend this hotel. Staff personnel (females) wore no uniform. No creamer or sugar in […] the room. Pillows were flat, contacted front desk who advised us that we need to get the pillows ourselves from downstairs. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Excellent buy towels rough.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No housekeeping"
Didnt like the fact of having to go to the front desk to get clean towels. This was an extended stay hotel so housekeeping only would come by once a week. Other than that, nice place to stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Thank you Candlewood Suites"
This was a great place. Bring your own bacon and eggsGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to all"
nice, clean place will stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"not bad at all"
Stayed in this hotel recently, as a pet-friendly hotel in Galveston was too expensive. This hotel was only about 20 minutes from Galveston. Nothing much to look at from the outside. It's on the side of a highway, no real trees around it. 3 floors. No breakfast, no pool. Price wasn't cheap, but it could have been worse. The room was quite comfortable. […] Clean, nice little kitchenette-no oven though. Nice big closet. Roomy bathroom. Nice size flat screen TV, with a DVD player, which was a nice bonus. We were in a non-smoking room, but we were towards the end of the hallway, and next door to the group of smoking rooms; therefore, the hallway really stunk. I could hear the noise from the people above-walking, peeing, etc but the hotel was pretty quiet overall, even though they seemed full. Nice area for my pooch to do her deeds. Lots of grass, bagggies provided. There was even a BBQ area by the pet area. All in all, not a bad place to stay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Comfortable beds, good night's sleep"
Last minute reservation. Comfortable beds, good coffee, shop for snacks and close to Denny's for food. Only problem was I booked 4 rooms with 2 beds each over the phone. When we arrived, we had 4 rooms with 1 bed each. Our group had to bunk together overnight, but we were too exhausted to care. Better than the other place we had reserved nearby! Great […] for what we needed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice hotel, close to Houston and Galveston."
Room was very clean. The lady working the desk during check in and check out was extremely friendly. The only issues were lack of privacy curtains and I could hear foot steps from the room above mine in the morning.Genuine Expedia guest review
This was our 2nd time staying here & it is still the best hotel we have ever stayed at!! Its only 15 min away from Galveston .Genuine Hotels.com guest review
greatGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Overall it was ok. I would have like it better if hotels.com had posted a realistic picture of my room. The one posted on the website is for the one bedroom suite and does not look anything like the regular suites. Additionally, I wished the hotel had a swimming pool and breakfast. I mean even smaller hotel chains have both of these items.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel"
Everything was great!! The staff was very friendly, hotel was nice, and the room was already cool when we got there!!! It was definitely worth driving to from Galveston. We plan on staying there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel"
The room was clean and comfortable. Our son is disabled; we requested a bottom floor room so he wouldn't drive everyone crazy with all his pounding, and it was given to us. They don't have daily house keeping, because it is designed to be an Extended-Stay hotel, and it says that in the hotel description. They also don't have breakfast for the same reason, […] but there is a kitchen with a stove, full fridge and freezer, and microwave in the room. The washer/dryer are also free, but bring your own detergent and dryer sheets. Our son got sick and we ended up staying one day in the hotel room, and they had free movies available for check-out at the front desk, some pretty good stuff like Liar Liar by Jim Carey and Castaway with Tom Hanks. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good experience"
Very nice hotel for the money. The location was an easy 10 minutes from Galveston. The room and bathroom were very clean and spacious with a nice kitchenette. The in-room DVD player was a nice touch. The hotel's video library was rather thin but a Red Box is just around the corner. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was the […] bed and choice of pillow types. We're not fans of pillow-top mattresses so we found the bed somewhat uncomfortable, and the only pillows available were soft foam. But that's just a matter of personal preference. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent location, great roon and houge kitchen"
Really quite and close to Galveston, no swimming pool, but great price.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to Galveston and Kemah"
Everything was nice and the Hotel personnel were very nice and friendly. I wish there would have been a pool!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"July 4th weekend"
During the July th weekend we stayed here! This was the cleanest, warmest feeling motel we have ever stayed in. The staff was very friendly!Genuine Expedia guest review
Five star price 0 star serviceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not Pet Friendly !!!"
When we arrived we were told of a nonrefundable pet deposit. This nonrefundable pet deposit is not mentioned in the hotel information on Hotels.com. In addition, I called the hotel to make sure they would accept my dog and the clerk made no mention of the deposit either. I ended up paying more for this room than I would have the luxury hotel down the […] road a few miles. This is not a pet friendly hotel. La Quinta and Motel 6 are pet friendly - no pet deposit. In addition, the carpet was sticky in places so my socks stuck to the floor when I hit those spots. One last thing, the hotel's information book states if you need a late check out call the front desk. We were there on business and we needed one hour longer. The front desk clerk acted as if we were asking for the moon. He said he might be able to give us 15 or 30 minutes longer but that was it. Of course we ignored him because we figured for what we paid for the room we could get an extra hour. Our first and last time staying at this hotel chain. Motel 6 is cheaper and gives the same level of service as this chain. La Quinta can beat this any day of the week. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice hotel, staff a tad unprofessional"
The only negative from my experience was the semi-unprofessional behavior of the staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, the internet worked well and was easy to access. This was important due to the nature of my visit. The location made access to any destination a simple matter with the highways right there. I would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I was surprised when we were asked to present a credit card to place a deposit for damages that may occur during our stay.I took pictures of the room to show management the current damages within the room. I do not recommend this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overnight stay"
Nice hotel, but would be better if they had a pool. Front desk was nice and hotel was very clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just OK"
I thought this hotel was boring and lack many amenities that most hotels have. My stay was not worth the price I paid.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad for the money and convenient for me"
The hotel is on the upper end of the lower end of hotels. The employees and manager had as their mission to make the stay good. Their attitude was the best part of the stay. From the weird TV control to the tiny room, this was not a 5 star hotel, but the price was not either. For us, this was a very convenient location between Galveston and Kemah. We […] had meals and entertainment at both locations. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
No maid. No pool. About 15 minutes outside Galveston. Other than that, no complaints.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to stay"
