Today is the "Ides of March" . . . Thursday is "St. Patricks Day" . . . and 17 days until opening day at Coors Field! Things are definetly looking up! Life begins anew!
Today is the "Ides of March" . . . Thursday is "St. Patricks Day" . . . and 17 days until opening day at Coors Field! Things are definetly looking up! Life begins anew!
Some's basturds, some's ain't, thats the score.
Definition of a homerun: When the baseball gets hit to a DISTANCE that the fielder cannot get it into homeplate before the batter rounds the bases.
Associated Press -- Citi Field's smaller dimensions helped opponents more than the New York Mets.
Thanks Sandy Alderson.
I can't wait for opening day! Here is a view from my new season seats.
Awesome view Sport . . . my old company used to have season tic's (for us low life employees) in section 331 I think it was. I've witnesses many games from this vantage point, you can't go wrong! I personally prefer a vantage point for fair territory but if you sit in foul territory, this is not a bad one!
Some's basturds, some's ain't, thats the score.
Ha! Uncanny ain't it? I'll bet you a dollar to a donut something like this is said by me on this thread next March 15 ;-) It is definately the point where I begin to "feel it" . . . spring training is winding down and the chatter around town is "where I'll be sitting on opening day" . . . Most folks prefer Christmas as their favorite day in the year . . . but I assure you . . . "Opening Day in Baseball" is mine . . .
Some's basturds, some's ain't, thats the score.
So Digger you mostly sit in seats that are in the outfield? Thats to far away for me.
Pretty much sport . . . I love seeing the game from a players perspective (fair play) and my eyes are still good and hair is still blue (baby, why don't ya love me like you used to do) . . . I'd say about 70% I sit in the RF area . . . but don't hear me wrong, when I snag some good ones and often I do . . . I'll sit whereas I can hear the ump and catcher speak nicities. My old motto . . . "any chair is a good chair long as your in the park" . . . smilin'
Some's basturds, some's ain't, thats the score.
I was at the bookstore today looking at an article on ballparks (a lot of it covered Fenway's 100 year anniversary), and I was rather shocked to see that, with the opening of Marlins Park, Coors Field is now the third oldest ballpark in the National League (behind Wrigley Field and Dodger Stadium). How can that be? I used to take walks outside the place to watch construction, and I went to that fantastic 14-inning first Opening Day. I feel old now...
Rockies fan living in Texas
As a Red Sox fan living in Denver, it has been fun taking in games at Coors Field over the last 10 years. Given the price of Rockpile seats, I've been pretty reluctant to get season tickets or tickets in any other section of the park. At $4 for me and $1 for each of my two boys, we can have a night out at the ballpark for ~$12-$15 with concessions. You couldn't even get one ticket for that price at Fenway!
In light of the Citi Field walls being moved closer to the infield, has there been any attempt to modify the dimensions of Coors Field to make the dimensions more pitcher friendly? I was listening to a Fangraphs podcast about Coors Field amplifying the BABIP of batters and think modifications to the dimensions could help lower visiting team BABIP.
The Mets have the best, smartest fans in baseball.
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.
Years ago, before the humidor even, I remember hearing the Rockies considering SHORTENING the distance down the lines. This would let the left and rightfielders play further off the lines eliminate a lot of doubles/triples in the gaps.
That was a really long time ago though and it was never done.
Today is the "Ides of March" . . . Saturday is "St. Patricks Day" . . . and 25 days until opening day at Coors Field! Things are definetly looking up! Life begins anew!
Chip? Are you getting that deja vu feeling all over again? ha!
Some's basturds, some's ain't, thats the score.
I am, especially since last year's Ides of March post is on the same page. Does it really take more than a year to fill up a page about Coors Field.
Digger, I did finally make it back to a game at Coors the past August (and got to see the Rockies score 15 runs in a win against Washington). It was the first time I had been back since Game 3 of the World Series in 2007.
This year, I'm taking my boys to Opening Day in Houston to see the Rockies and the Astros. Three weeks from tomorrow; I can't wait! I am so ready for baseball season...
Rockies fan living in Texas
To the Coors regulars: if you have a Rockpile ticket, are you restricted to that area, or can you roam the entire ballpark if you want?
A suggestion to all you young dad's . . . and even younger granddad's . . . if you haven't already your own photo tradition once a year for your kiddo's . . . may i suggest something I've been doing with my 2 first grandsons since 2006, having a photo of them taken out front of Coors Field on Opening Day. In 2006 we didn't that "The Player" statue (yeah, they'll change it perhaps someday when we have some history, at almost 20 years old, not yet). Just a thought. Here are 2006-2008 photos.
Some's basturds, some's ain't, thats the score.
2009 through 2012 . . . opening day with the boys. I take that back about "The Player" not being there in 2006, I either didn't think of using it that year or didn't think Ethan (the baby) would be balancing too good up on it ;-) We didn't begin "The Player" photos until 2007.
Some's basturds, some's ain't, thats the score.
Digger, those pics are awesome. Living here in Fort Worth, I've been swept up in enthusiasm for the Rangers since they are doing so well. I wish the Rockies were doing better. We did go see the Rockies twice against the Rangers in Arlington (the two games that the Rangers won), and we are going to see the Rox play on our Chicago vacation at Wrigley Field on August 24.
Rockies fan living in Texas
Here's video I took of our trip to Game 3 of the 2007 World Series at Coors Field, the first World Series game ever held there...
Rockies fan living in Texas
I wonder how the Rockies would have fared had they played in a domed stadium with climate control and the humidor.
I was listening to a Fangraphs discussion about the Rockies. The ballpark and the climate messes with team construction like Wrigley Field as it is a high offensive environment with thinner air. The ballpark affects the offense much like the wind at Wrigley Field.
The Mets have the best, smartest fans in baseball.

I first met John and Lenore at a car show in 1993 or 1994. They had their black 1964 1/2 Mustang droptop there-- I've been a 'Stang freak ever since I was a little kid, so I bugged them about that sharp car all day... and then they hooked me on Route 66. Through many trips with the Roadrunners, and through the IL RTE 66 Association, I always enjoyed Lenore's sparkling and bubbly personality. She was always very helpful to me when I had questions regarding RTE 66, association stuff, or whatever goofball question I may have had.
I'm an over-the-road truckdriver, and don't get to do much with the association anymore-- and don't get to see any members but maybe a couple times a year... I finally got my newsletter a week ago, and that's the first I knew about Lenore's passing. Initial shock turned to dismay, then grief. John, my thoughts are with you and your family. Please forgive me for having my head in the sand for so long.
Lenore was truly a bright beacon on the highway, guiding people with her knowledge and love. I will miss her, but I'm glad I had the opportunity and good fortune to know her.
Steve Travis
I never met Lenore, but I have had a "crush" on her for 20 years. I used to tease John that it was always nice to see photos of him and his "daughter." I am sure that she was welcomed by all of the original cast-members of Route 66 who have passed. My heartfelt wishes to John and family. George Boley, Allen, Texas
So much of what I would like to say has been said already so I will simply say that Lenore is one person I shall never forget and one who deeply touched my heart and life.
Our hearts are deeply saddened!
"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same."
It was author, James Barrie, who said - "God gave us memories so that we might have roses in December."
Rest in peace, dear friend, we leave you in God's loving embrace forever.

Berwyn, IL
Paul and I are grateful for the time we had with Lenore. She was so much fun, always a big smile for everyone. We had such a great time Lenore & John in Litchfield last summer. We all shared the sirup from Funks Grove for breakfast at the hotel. We will always treasure that memory.
Kathy & Paul Wester
I only met Lenore once, that was at the Odell station last year for the painting party. She made me feel like I had been a long time member of the preservation team. What a wonderful lady. My condolences to John and her family.
Brian Burke
Ike and I are truly sad of losing a true friend and a wonderful friendship. My heart goes out to her husband John and her brother Larry and her son Mark. My heart will always hold that special bond that she had towards others giving her love and support on all who need a friend she was right there with open arms and a willing hand and make you feel warm and welcome from within. Our hearts and prayers are with the whole family. We will keep her memory going as we travel Rt 66 and look at all the wonderful things that John and Lenore have done to keep the Mother Road alive.
Kathie and Ike Widner
It saddens my heart that a lovely woman with such talent left us. She has taught me many things in life and along Rt66 and she became a good teacher to many of us. I sure will miss her with her smile and guidance I know she is in in heaven with her son Jason,her mother Louise and father Edward looking down at us in grace keeping all of safe as we travel the Mother Road known as Rt66
Ike Widner
We and Route 66 have lost a truly great friend. But Lenore will always live on with John on the Mother Road and in the minds of all those who were fortunate to know her. Lenore's motto was "Enjoy the Ride!" Now Lenore, with family and friends, is on an even better and more exciting one. My deepest condolences to John and her brother Larry.
Tom Flasch
I first met Lenore on January 12,2008 in Kankakee IL at one of her and John's 66 presentations. I had traveled from Springfield IL that winter day. We had exchanged emails prior to the event, so when I arrived a bit late, they both knew whom I was much to my chagrin. It was a delight to see the passion she had for Route 66, especially the preservation for future generations. I promptly purchased all 3 of their books and they talked to me about joining the association. After the presentation I helped them load up their materials and talked about my new interest in the mother road. I ended up joining the assocation later that year and was proud to be present when they were awarded the Tom Teague award during the 2009 Motor Tour Banquet. My deepest condolences to her friends and family. I know I am a better person for having met her.
Josh Friedrich
Being a former Editor for the Route 66 Association Of Illinois, I remember when Lenore and John first joined the Association and I will admit it was enjoyable to be involved in the many preservation projects that were done on Route 66 in Illinois, so God be with Lenore on her new journey. From Randy Smith.
I did not know her. Best wishes and i am sorry for the loss. The picture with Bob is just Amazing..I wish the best for Family and friends. My condolences... Jason Waldmire

You may know Drupal as the platform behind our web presence. But Drupal is much more than simply a CMS, it's a software development framework. I'll have a number of Drupal implementations on-hand for you to play with, ones that show just how far Drupal can be taken. I'll also be available to answer questions about its capabilities and field your ideas for services that it can support within the U Libraries.
The two Drupal "Distributions" that I'll be demoing are as follows:
- A Managing News Installation
- An Open Atrium Insallation (Username: frank Password: frank123)
I'll also have a Drupal Gardens site demo available for you to poke at. Drupal Gardens is a hosted Drupal service provided by the commercial Drupal provider, Acquia. Drupal Gardens is probably about the easiest way to get started with learning the application side of Drupal.
Drupal, It's Made of People

CURITIBA, Brazil (AP) -- David Villa was selected to start his last international match for Spain, which was using mostly backup players against Australia in a World Cup Group B match between two teams already out of contention in Brazil.
Villa was aiming to add to his record tally of 58 goals in his 97th -- and final -- appearance for Spain, which exits after a disappointing World Cup defense that opened with losses to Netherlands and Chile.
Andres Iniesta earns his 100th cap for Spain, with goalkeeper Pepe Reina making his World Cup as a replacement for captain Iker Casillas.
Defenders Raul Albiol and Juanfran Torres, midfielders Santi Cazorla and Koke, and striker Fernando Torres were all starting for the first time in Brazil.
Adam Taggart replaces suspended forward Tim Cahill in the Australia lineup.
Australia: Mat Ryan, Ryan McGowan, Jason Davidson, Matthew Spiranovic, Alex Wilkinson, Matt McKay, Mile Jedinak, Oliver Bozanic, Tommy Oar, Matthew Leckie, Adam Taggart.
Spain: Pepe Reina, Sergio Ramos, Raul Albiol, Jordi Alba, Juanfran Torres, Koke, Xabi Alonso, Santi Cazorla, Andres Iniesta, Fernando Torres, David Villa.

I hung the two hanging baskets from the planter. If it was cooler I would light a little fire in the iron chimenea and we could make some smores, but it is way too hot here for that this time of year.
I have had these wrought iron chairs for over twenty five years. We had a pool at our first house and these were part of a set. I only have two now and they have been painted and repainted. I painted them red last year. These chairs also rock.
This is the other one. The seat cushions are PB indoor outdoor from last year and then I just brought out some of my sun room pillows so you would be comfortable sitting.
This is very old, too and it holds a candle for when it gets dark.
Then I placed my old PB lantern on this corner for some more candle light.
I see miss Bailey got in this shot.
Portaluca is so easy to grow and heat and drought tolerant. This deck gets extremely hot in the afternoon.
PB indoor outdoor colorful pillows from last year added to the newly painted white wicker chairs.
Flowers are all doing well as long as they stay watered.
Little peek at the party table.
Getting darker out. I hope you will come back tomorrow night for some refreshments. I will show you the party decor and tell you where I bought everything on the cheap!
One more little peek at the table.
Now if we could just get the temps to cool down some so we could enjoy it out here.
Now it is time for you to link up your summer decks and porches. This can be patios, stoops or whatever you consider your outdoor porch area. Old or new posts are welcome.
Gone for two days and come home to a mess!
- Link Up any post past or present related to this parties theme
- Be sure to link back to your original post and not just your url (main blog address)
- Please post the Blogger Block Party button (code located above and in sidebar) in your post so others can join in the fun! (MANDATORY)
- Visit another guest. We love it when you party with our other guests! Please take a moment and visit some of the other posts and leave some comment love! This is what makes a party so much fun!
- We'd love it if you'd share the Blogger Block Party on your Facebook Pages and Twitter (use #BloggerBlockParty in your tweet) (Not mandatory but we'd appreciate it!)
The link part of the party is a shared link on all 12 blogs. Our individual posts will be themed related and projects will be kind of grouped together by theme as they are linked up but it's one big shared link so some of the more specific themes with less theme related posts can still get exposure on several blogs. We wanted everyone to be part of the whole party and get to have everyone see their posts on all 12 blogs by the end of the week instead of having 13 different party links. Themes that go up on the same day will be intermingled as people link them up on the different blogs but it will all culminate at the end of the week as one huge Summer themed link party!
Also I will share features from last weeks party later this week.

Elizabeth Warren Wins Big At Democratic Convention
Elizabeth Warren's campaign for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts has been re-energized. Her last remaining challenger for the Democratic nomination fell by the wayside at the party's endorsement convention in Springfield over the weekend. New polls showed the race between Warren and Republican incumbent Scott Brown remains a dead heat. WAMC"s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill reports.
Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard Law School professor, consumer advocate and first time candidate for elected office won an unprecedented 96% of the convention delegate's votes to lock up the US Senate nomination.
Because the only other senate candidate heading into the convention, immigration lawyer Marisa DeFranco failed to get at least 15% of the delegates to vote for her there will be no Democratic primary.
Speaking with reporters after the convention ended, Warren wasted no time in challenging Brown to debate.
Brown's campaign responded with a statement, agreeing to debates. The details on how many , where and when have yet to be worked out.
In her much anticipated speech at the convention, Warren focused on Brown. She said that at the time he won the special election following the death of Edward Kennedy, Brown seemed like a decent guy, but declared he let us down. Citing some of his votes and positions Brown has taken, Warren described him as a Wall Street, big oil, Mitt Romney Republican.
Warren indirectly addressed the controversy that has hampered her campaign for more than a month. She's been dogged by questions over an unsubstantiated claim to Native American heritage and whether she used it to advance her academic career.
Heading into the convention it was uncertain if a primary would be needed to settle the Democratic nomination for senate. Since convention rules were put in place 30 years ago to keep so-called fringe candidates out of primaries, no two person race had ever not resulted in a primary.
Democratic party leaders worked hard to keep Warren's last challenger, Marisa DeFranco from advancing her campaign. Former Governor Michael Dukakis was among those out working the convention floor making the case against a Democratic primary.
DeFranco's small group of supporters said they resented national Democratic Party leaders, who recruited Warren, dictating who the senate candidate should be in Massachusetts. DeFranco said she was disappointed the Democratic Party establishment worked against her.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick delivered a rousing speech at the convention. He urged the 35 hundred party activists to go home and work at the grassroots to assure President Obama is re-elected and the Massachusett senate seat is put back in the Democrat's column.
Two new polls released to coincide with the convention, showed the senate race in Massachusetts remains a dead-heat between Brown and Warren. A poll by the Western New England University Polling Institute found Warren has cut in Brown's still sizable lead among independents, who make up the largest voting block in the state.

DependencyObject.Equals Method
Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject.
Assembly: WindowsBase (in WindowsBase.dll)
You cannot use methods in XAML.
- obj
- Type: System.Object
The DependencyObject to compare to the current instance.
This implementation is reference equality only, and does not attempt to evaluate value equality of the contained properties.
Notes to Inheritors:DependencyObject overrides and then seals two basic Object methods: Equals and GetHashCode. The overrides call the Object implementations, resulting in an object equality behavior. The purpose of these deliberate overrides is to prevent derived classes from trying to define a value equality for a DependencyObject. Value equalities for DependencyObject will never be accurate because of the innate property value-changing capabilities of a DependencyObject and its dependency properties. This includes fundamental WPF features such as data binding and the WPF property system.

\This is not bad at all! but I would have giving it a hard beat when you did the first drop but the second build up made up for it. This is very progressive I would suggest changing up that synth sound a little more and adding some slight dynamic towards the end up shit Cracker Jack job dude! You make me want to make house again!

New Russian Trailer For Matthew Vaughn's 'X-Men: First Class' – Starring Michael Fassbender & James McAvoy
Filmonic have uncovered this rather fantastic Russian trailer for Matthew Vaughn's (Kick Ass, Layer Cake) 'X-Men: First Class' featuring a tonne of new footage from the film. Out of all the comic book-inspired flicks released this summer, this is the one I'm looking forward to most. The cast assembled is top notch and the mood looks real intense. 'X-Men: First Class' is set for release June 3rd 2011. Two thumbs up – held high!
"X-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men."

Things Fall Apart
. Chinua Achebe was born November 16, 1930, and educated at Government College in Umuahia and at University College of Ibadan, Nigeria. He received a B.A. from London University in 1953 and in 1956 studied broadcasting in London at the BBC. He joined the Nigerian Broadcasting Company in Lagos in 1954, later becoming its director of external broadcasting. During the Civil War in Nigeria he worked for the Biafran government service. After the war he was appointed senior research fellow at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, of which he is now emeritus professor of English. He has lectured at many universities worldwide, served as McMillan-Stewart Lecturer at Harvard and Presidential Fellow Lecturer at the World Bank (both 1998). He is the recipient of more than 30 honorary degrees, as well as numerous awards for his work. Since 1990, he has been Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Professor of Languages and Literature at Bard College. In 2004, Achebe declined to accept the title of Commander of the Federal Republic—Nigeria's second highest honor—in protest over the state of affairs in his native country. In 2007, he won the Man Booker International Prize, which is awarded once every two years to a living author for a body of work that has contributed to an achievement in fiction on the world stage. Paralyzed from the waist down in a 1990 car accident, he is married to Christie Chinwe Achebe, visiting professor of psychology at Bard, with whom he has four children.

by Dominic Devito Focal's top-of-the-line Utopia Be speakers exemplify Focal's dedication to musical perfection. The sound enthusiasts at Focal worked without constraints to develop what they consider to be the ultimate in speaker technology. Utopia Be subwoofers employ unique materials and unparalleled construction to add incomparable dynamics and natural sound to your system. Focal's composite sandwich "W" cone features a layer of durable structural foam between two layers of precision-coated glass — the resulting membrane demonstrates exceptional agility, rigidity, and damping to produce realistic bass notes without distortion. A supple rubber surround maintains precise control over the cone, even during extreme excursion. A dense neodymium magnet, high-linearity voice coil, and zinc alloy basket give the sub rock-solid power and strength. The compact Utopia Be 5" 13 WS subwoofer fits in places most other component subs can't, and you'll be impressed by its sound quality and bass impact. It handles up to 75 watts RMS and works best in small sealed enclosures. Utopia is defined as an "ideal place or state," and these hand-crafted Focal subs let you take your music to that level. To drive this single subwoofer, we recommend a mono amplifier rated between 55 and 110 watts RMS at 4 ohms. For more information, please refer to our article on How to Match Subwoofers and Amplifiers.

A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back.

Working and Acquiring Skills
Sometimes, working in any industry or field requires a deep understanding of a concentrated body of knowledge. But more often, work requires a set of skills. From your summer job or internship, you may already have encountered the kinds of things you will do when you go to work. Some of these things include (in no particular order):
Being in meetings |
Taking notes |
Talking to people who understand what you're doing |
Talking to people who don't understand what you're doing |
Creating projects, products |
Helping other people with their projects |
Doing research |
Explaining concepts, products, problems |
Convincing people that you're right |
Admitting you're wrong |
Presenting concepts, products, problems |
Calling people who don't want to talk to you |
Arranging meetings |
Jumping in when you're needed |
Developing your ideas into projects, products |
Listening |
Managing time |
Asking for money, time, advice, help, autonomy, more work, less work |
Being in teams, workgroups, committees |
Planning |
Being solely responsible for concepts, products, problems, outcomes |
Training colleagues |
Staying late when it's necessary |
Selling concepts, products, problems |
Being on time |
Getting paid for your effort |
Given this set of activities, you can see why, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, these are the top skills that businesses are seeking from college graduates:
- Communications (written, oral; speaking, listening, presentation)
- Initiative
- Critical thinking
- Analytical thinking
- Self-management
- Leadership
- Networking
- Teamwork
- Technical knowledge
- Interpersonal abilities (working with others)
- Perspective
- Balance
So how do you acquire these skills? You're doing it right now. You're researching and evaluating information in your classes. You're writing papers, sending emails, presenting the results of your research in your UROP projects, and doing team reports and projects. You're heading a committee in student government or residence hall government or your fraternity or sorority. You're helping with a project in your community service organization; you're on an athletic team. You're thinking up a new way to organize your work at your work-study job. You're putting yourself through college. All of these things add up to the person you are.
How do you begin to think about your major and your career? A great way is to visit the Career Center, in the Student Activities Building (visit their website at careercenter.umich.edu). They can help you begin to assess your skills and interests. Also, talk to department advisors (and look at departmental websites) to see what departments are saying about their own majors. Often, they can provide insights into broader perspectives about the skills that come from a specific major (the Career Center has information about this, too). See if you can find out more about the professions/jobs that interest you - do some informational interviews, or shadow someone at work. Talk to your academic advisor. And don't neglect your parents as resources - or even their friends. There's a lot of information out there - don't be afraid to search for it.

These reviews are the opinion of an RVParkReviews' member and not the views of RVParkReviews.com
Date of Stay: December, 2010 - $20.00
The showers were functional and the water was hot. However, there was mold on the walls, and the stall was littered with personal items. The owners acknowledged they need some attention. I could not connect on their Wi-Fi. I had 5 bars of signal strength but could not get an IP address and connected. There were locals that could connect and some tried to help me. The management even contacted their Tech Guy, and he would have come by, but I declined as it was New Year's Eve. The management was helpful and the residents we met were friendly. The next day at another RV park my laptop connected automatically as has been the case for some time. The $20 is after a $5 Good Sam discount on the rate of $25. We camped at Bert's RV Park and Propane in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: December, 2009 - $25.00
Campground owner was very nice and chatty. Makes you feel very welcome. She loves her pets and goes out of her way to introduce you to them. We stayed here to visit some friends in Bay City. Price is a bit high for a park with no amenities to speak of. Children would be bored out of their minds. Wi-Fi is now available. We camped at Bert's RV Park and Propane in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: December, 2009 - $20.00
We used this park as an overnight stay, and found it more than adequate. The cable TV and Wi-Fi were excellent, they even provided the cable for the TV hookup. The price was only $20 for the night, so it appears they dropped the price due to other posts. Just a note: they only have two pull-through sites, but the owner is VERY accommodating, so I'm sure she would try to fit you in someplace. We will definitely stay here again. We camped at Bert's RV Park and Propane in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: May, 2009 - $25.00
There was nothing wrong with this park per se, but the price of $25 dollars per night for a gravel lot type campground in the non-tourist town of Bay City, TX is what gets this park a 6 out of 10. The park is kept reasonably well, but it has zero amenities and low real estate prices around the area to justify that kind of money per night for just two people. The owners are nice and eager to please though, as was stated in another review. We camped at Bert's RV Park and Propane in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: March, 2007 - $21.00
This is a quaint little campground near the Colorado River and off the beaten trail. Owners are eager to please and are doing all they can to maintain this old campground (the owner's dad, who passed away and left the park to her). The facilities are old but clean and pretty well maintained. Some things could use a bit of repair and maybe a fresh coat of paint, but this is a nice park with full hook-ups, plenty of shade trees, cable TV and shower and laundry facilities. While they don't have WiFi in the park itself, we had no problem getting a strong signal from our Verizon air card. We would DEFINITELY stay here again and only gave the 7 rating due to the age of the park and the facilities and the fact that the sites could be a bid wider (but were NOT by any means "tight"). We camped at Bert's RV Park and Propane in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: January, 2006 - $20.00
Nice quiet CG on SR-35 2 miles west of town; on irrigation canal (reportedly good fishing) 1 mile from Colorado River. CG is across from Matagorda Co nature center (free admission as CG guest); best bird count in Texas. Graveled roads and sites rest under huge live oaks. Enthusiastic owners adding improvements. Excellent overnight stop. We camped at Bert's RV Park and Propane in a Fifth Wheel.

The MagazineThe Last Battle of the Civil WarIn 1865, a military tribunal convicted Dr. Samuel A. Mudd in the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. Was he guilty?Dec 30, 2002, Vol. 8, No. 16
• By ANDREW FERGUSON
Booth died a few days later, chased down to the Virginia peninsula across the Potomac, shot by federal troops as he hobbled on his broken leg through a burning tobacco barn. His co-conspirators were gathered up. Among them was David Herold, the young man who'd ridden with Booth to Mudd's house that night. Before a tribunal of federal officers, hastily assembled in Washington, all eight of the accused were convicted, on one charge or another, after a month-long trial. Five were sentenced to hang, and did so a week after the trial's close, on July 7. Mudd and three others received a sentence of life at hard labor. Quickly and quietly they were shipped to Ft. Jefferson, a malarial compound thrown up on the Dry Tortugas, at the tail end of a Florida archipelago. Suddenly fatherless, Mudd's family despaired. Union troops loitered about the farm for many months, scavenging food, menacing visitors, chasing off what few farmhands remained. Mrs. Mudd commenced a campaign on her husband's behalf--the same campaign that continues today. She pressed her case with politicians, journalists, and in time even the president. A month before leaving office, in disgrace himself and with nothing to lose, Andrew Johnson pardoned the surviving conspirators. Mudd was released after four years in jail, but his conviction stood unexpunged in the record, and no compensation was ever offered for the damage already done. He returned to his wife and four children and to his devastated farm, disgraced and penniless, in feeble health, a broken man. His medical practice declined, and he dabbled halfheartedly in politics, and then at the early age of 49 he died, having lived long enough to hear the phrase "His name is Mudd" become a commonplace pejorative among his countrymen, and pleading his innocence to the end. "HE'S AN AMERICAN DREYFUS," a historian said to me a few years ago, when I began to nose around the case of Dr. Mudd. Even at the time the label struck me as overripe, but down the generations the Mudd family has embraced it, especially Dr. Dick: for it fits so well the Mudds' sense of naked injustice, of an uncauterized wound. Dr. Dick's lifelong efforts to keep the case alive approached a climax of sorts in 1992. With the ingenuity that sometimes comes to desperate men, he decided to file a claim before the Military Records Review Board, an obscure commission languishing in a cobwebby corner of the army bureaucracy. He asked it to instruct the secretary of the Army to "correct the military record" by overturning the tribunal's conviction of his grandfather. Unexpectedly, not to say miraculously, the board agreed with Dr. Dick. The secretary of the Army, however, did not. The jurisdictional tug of war between the board and the secretary brought Samuel Mudd's case once again to various federal courts, where it had already bounced around during the nineteenth century. Dr. Dick was technically the plaintiff in the case (a role Tom later assumed, following Dick's death), but no one doubted that it was his grandfather who was again on trial. Through a decade of appeals and remands and dilatory pleadings, the case wound its way at last to Courtroom 20 of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, where on a sunny morning this past September, the judges sat to hear oral arguments. The hearing did not go well, and to most of us who gathered there--including a dozen direct descendants of Sam Mudd, and another dozen friends, neighbors, and buffs--this fall's final ruling could not have come as a shock. Mudds, however, are not easily discouraged, as you may already have noticed. On the phone Tom Mudd spoke to me idly of appealing the decision to a higher panel of the appellate court, and then to the Supreme Court, of course, before he alighted on what really troubled him. "You saw in the court's opinion where someone quotes that phrase, about the 'ravages of history'? This to them is an abstraction. But it's not abstract! Did the judges stop to ask, Who was hurt by the 'ravages of history'? Dr. Mudd was hurt. My family was hurt. "But as my dad always said, and this is much more important, the cause of justice has been hurt. The conscience of the country has been hurt. "So you ask, will this put an end to our efforts? No. I'm sorry, but this is bigger than our family." II |

2010 Audi A3 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 2 reviews
The Audi A3 compact four-door hatchback (or Sportback, as Audi calls it) rolls into 2010 with only a few minor updates, primarily to its list of optional features. Outside, Audi makes the S-Line exterior package, which includes a single-frame grille, front air inlets, modified bumpers, and a rear roof spoiler, standard on the A3 for 2010. Dark brown walnut wood interior trim becomes an optional feature for 2010, and Audi adds upgraded wheels and xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights to the optional Premium Plus package. In addition, the automaker now includes upgraded leather seats with silver stitching and Alcantara inserts as part of the optional high-end Titanium Sport package. Finally, Audi discontinues the Audi A3 3.2 trim for 2010.
Owners can now choose from three A3 trims, including the 2.0T Premium, the 2.0T Quattro Premium, and the 2.0T PZEV Premium. A turbocharged TFSI 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine powers all trims, although the 2.0T PZEV Premium receives a low-emissions version of the engine, which makes it eligible for sale in certain states. The four-cylinder powerplant generates 200 hp and a very respectable 207 lb-ft of torque, and features Audi's FSI direct-injection system, which helps improve performance while reducing fuel consumption and emissions, according to the automaker.
The engine in all trims connects to a six-speed manual transmission, which comes standard, or an optional S-tronic automatic transmission with a dual-clutch system, which enables rapid-fire shifting. In addition, drivers can shift manually using either the shift lever on the console or shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. The automatic transmission also includes a Sport mode, which delays upshifts or engages quick downshifts to ensure optimal revs for a sportier driving experience. The EPA estimates fuel economy for the four-cylinder engine at 21/30 mpg with the manual transmission and 22/28 with the automatic.
Outside, the 2010 Audi A3 displays a low, sporty profile, with Audi's signature deep-lipped grille, subtly arched headlights, and stylish front foglights. The exterior side mirrors incorporate turn indicators, while at the rear the hatchback allows access to nearly 20 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat. Owners can add such features as aluminum roof rails and metallic or pearl-effect exterior paint as options.
The A3's versatile interior makes good use of high-quality materials, such as leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and aluminum trim. Dual-zone climate control, cruise control, keyless entry, and one-touch power windows also come standard. The front seats on the A3 2.0T Premium remain manually adjustable, although the Premium Plus package adds an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with four-way power lumbar support. The Premium Plus package also adds interior illumination and a storage system in the cargo area with side pockets, floor tie-downs, and bag hangers. A 10-speaker, 140-watt AM/FM audio system with Sirius satellite radio, an MP3 input jack, a subwoofer, and a Graduated Audio Level Adjustment, which increases audio volume as cabin noise levels rise, comes standard on all trims. The Premium Plus package adds Bluetooth, while options include a DVD-based navigation system with a 6.25-inch LCD screen.
The front-wheel-drive A3 offers a firm yet comfortable ride with good handling, thanks to its MacPherson struts in the front and four-link rear suspension. For optimal traction and stability on all types of road surfaces, owners can add Audi's Quattro AWD system. An electronic stabilization program and antilock brakes with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution come standard on all trims. Safety features include front seat-mounted chest side airbags and Sideguard head-protection airbags for front and rear passengers. The base A3 rides on 17-inch five-spoke wheels, although Audi offers a variety of wheel options, including 18-inch titanium cast alloy wheels.

This book provides the first full history of the female campaign against votes for women in late 19th- and early 20th-century Britain. By 1914, the National League for Opposing Woman Suffrage was dominated by the self-consciously masculine leadership of Lord Cromer and Lord Curzon, but also heavily dependent upon an impressive cadre of women leaders. An overwhelmingly female membership rivalled the suffrage organizations in numbers, though not in levels of activism. The first half of the book explores the motives and ideals of women against the vote. The provenance of their opposition is analy ... More

Computing with Bifocals - Two Apps for Reading and Browsing
- June 23rd, 2006
Product: LargeType 1.0 (Release Date 9/19/2005)
Developer: Cold Pizza Software
System Requirements: OS X 10.3 or later
Description: LargeType is a Mac OS X service that displays any selected text in large type.
Price: Free, but a donation is requested
This is a one-trick pony, but it is a most useful trick. It allows you to highlight text in designated applications, and enlarge the text for easier reading. It is designed to work exactly like the phone number enlargement feature that is included in your address book.
In Address Book, place your cursor on the word next to the phone number you want to enlarge, hold down the mouse button and scroll down to "Large Type". Release the button and the phone number will appear in very large letters across your desktop.
Select "Large Type"
Enlarged Phone Number in Address Book
The application LargeType offers the same feature, but it is available for words and sentences and can be used in Safari, Mail, iCal, iChat, Pages, Keynote, Preview, TextEdit, and Terminal.* It doesn't work with any of the Microsoft office products.
This is a good application for new users to download and install because all that is involved in the installation is to download the software and then drag the software icon to your Applications folder and release it. To activate the features you log out and log back in again and you are ready to go.
How to Use It: Select some text. Choose "Large Type" from the Services option. Services is found under the application name's menu on the far left of the menu bar. So if you are in Safari you will find it under the Safari menu. If you are in Mail you will find it under the Main menu.
The Services Option in Safari
(Click the thumbnail for a larger image)
The text you have selected will appear on your screen as large type. The size will vary depending on the size of your desktop. It will also depend on how many letters or words you select to enlarge. Here are some examples. Obviously, you can quickly reach a point of dimensioning returns.
3 Words Selected On A 15 Inch Screen
6 Words Selected On A 15 Inch Screen
A Portion of Two Sentences Selected On A 15 Inch Screen
*For those interested in the technical aspects of why some applications work with LargeType and some don't, here is an explanation from developer Eddie Hillenbrand:
"LargeType works with all applications built using Apple's Cocoa frameworks. That is, any native Mac OS X application that only runs on OS X. It doesn't work with most application built using Apple's Carbon frameworks. Usual application that run on OS 9 & X or that predate OS X. Having LargeType, or any application that offers itself as a service, work with a Carbon app requires the developers of that application to do little extra work. As a result most Carbon developers elect not to spend their time making Services work with their applications. Cocoa developer get Service support for free. If there is a specific application that LargeType doesn't work with, I would recommend contacting the developer and requesting Services support in their application."
Product: browseback 1.1 (Release Date: 2/3/06 )
Developer: SmileOnMyMac
System Requirements: OS X version 10.4 or later. Broadband Internet connection recommended.
Description: Browse and search your web history via web page thumbnails
Price: US$29.95 (Available as a Demo from the web site)
Help Manual Available: Yes. 16 page manual free as a download from web site.
If your Web use frequently results in searches through your History files for pages you have previously visited, then this application, which won MacWorld Best of Show in 2006, will be worth your evaluation. Mine does, and I love this app. What it does is keep a record of all the pages you have visited and displays them as thumbnails upon your request. It works with Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and others and can work with just one or all of them at the same time depending on how you set the preferences.
It also lets you conduct keyword searches of the saved pages using a search box found in the lower right-hand corner of the open window. You activate browseback by clicking on the Apple key + F12, or by clicking on the icon in the dock, or selecting it from the Applications folder.
The first time you run browseback, the program will load your previous Web history. You'll be asked how much of your history you want loaded. Selecting longer periods of history will result in longer loading times.
The preferences will let you limit the amount of disk space that can be used by browseback and/or select how many days you want to accumulate.
