Property Details
Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6-8)
A perfect getaway for families or one or two couples, this luxury, 3-level cabin is in the heart of Pigeon Forge, yet tucked away from it all. It is located on a cul-de-sac in a resort area that offers beautiful mountain views. The roads are paved with curbs -- no gravel roads or steep, gut-wrenching drives to get there! Take a walk around the neighborhood and enjoy the peacefulness and mountain views. Many major attractions are under 5 miles away with back road access to avoid traffic.
*** Check our our Facebook page (Great Cabin in Pigeon Forge) for additional photos! ***
This is such a wonderful place to stay while you enjoy all that the area has to offer. The cabin has 3 levels and 4 decks. In the warmer months, relax on one of the three decks that face a pond directly in front of the cabin. The back covered deck has an inviting, private hot tub that is great for relaxing too. The cabin is set in the woods with lots of trees and space for older kids to explore at the end of the cul-de-sac. It is not unusual to see some interesting wildlife in this area.
The main level has a warm and inviting sitting area with a gas fireplace and a 42" HD flat screen TV. This level also has a dining table and a custom made pool table from Aspen. A half bath, washer/dryer and fully stocked kitchen are also on this level, with plenty of new dishes, flatware, cookware, bakeware and utensils. You may decide you don't even want to eat out, especially with a Walmart 5 minutes away to keep you stocked with all your favorite food! The sofa on this level is a queen sleeper sofa if you need more than 4 beds.
Upstairs is a spacious, luxury king master suite with a jetted tub and a sitting area with a 32" HD flat screen. You even have your own private balcony that overlooks the pond. There is a full bathroom with a shower and wall-mounted makeup mirror so you can be sure to look great on your vacation!
On the first level is another spacious king suite that is great for a second couple or even an entire family! With a log king bed and a log bunk bed with a double on bottom and a twin on top, a couple and several small children would have plenty of space. It has its own 32" HD flat panel TV, a loveseat, 'bear' rug, DVD library, board and card games. What a perfect place for the kids to hang out! This suite has its own large bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
With over 2,100 square feet and filled with luxury furnishings throughout, this cabin is a great value for the rate. Yet it is cozy and intimate enough for a couple to enjoy for a similar rate to a much smaller cabin. The location is an extra bonus -- set apart enough to enjoy privacy (no cabin directly across) and in a peaceful, quiet resort. Despite the quiet and the wooded setting, many attractions are just 5 to 10 minutes away, including Tanger Five Outlet and Dollywood. Easy access to many attractions without even hitting the Parkway (which is only 5 minutes away).
Linens (sheets, towels, washcloths, blankets) are provided. A starter supply of the following items is also included: toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, trash bags, dishwasher soap and coffee.
Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval and completed pet form. There is a one-time fee of $65 regardless of the length of stay. This is not a refundable deposit.
A few of the area attractions we enjoy:
Dollywood -- of course!
Dixie Stampede
Great Smoky Mountains National Park -- especially the Greenbriar entrance -- truly spectacular and not to be missed!
Tanger Five Outlet -- this place is huge!
Gondolier -- best pizza ever!

It is better than Beary nice!
Plenty of space!!
Everything was clean and it looked exactly like the photos. I highly recommend this cabin.
The kids also loved playing in the water out front. They spent hours out there. My husband and I were looking at houses in the Sevierville area so we knew the kids needed room to romp and play while grandma was watching them. It was perfect!
The owners were very nice and prompt answering questions, emails etc.
P.S.- I didn't realize it was pet friendly till I had booked the cabin so I was worried about odors because I'm highly sensitive and allergic but I could not tell there had ever been an animal in there! So that was a plus!!
Thanks Tricia and Steve for making your cabin a great place to stay :)
Better than we hoped
From the Owner
"We love the mountains! In this area you get breathtaking views, shopping, shows, restaurants and Dollywood all 5 to 10 minutes away. There is always something for everyone, whether you want to hit all the attractions and be gone all day, or stay in the cabin and enjoy the privacy. Since we loved the area so much, we decided to buy a cabin that our family would enjoy as well as others."

From the Owner
"When we were looking to buy a cabin, we found several that we liked, but the drive to get to them was downright scary and/or too complicated to want to repeat, especially at night. We loved not only this cabin, but the peaceful, easy drive to get to it. It is so close to everything, but feels very private. There is plenty of room to walk on the roads and enjoy the distant views in the neighborhood. Some resorts have very few trees or good places to walk a dog. Not this one!"

First I replaced the Defrost Thermostat. I unplugged the unit and removed the back panel from inside the freezer. Then I placed a portable heater near the freezer w/ the door open to melt the ice build up. After all the ice melted, I was able to replace the defrost thermostat per the video on your website. It took less than 15 minutes to do this repair. The Fridge and Freezer temperatures got better instantly. This worked for about 2 months, then the same symptoms started occurring again. This required all the same step above except this time I replaced the Defrost Heater Kit. So far it's working great...I'm glad I didn't send the defrost heater kit back after the first repair. A Repairman wanted to charge me $350.00 to fix the issue. I replaced 2 parts in less than 30 minutes for less than $50.00 including shipping. The videos for repair on this website were easy to follow! Thanks!

Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet blurs market segments
By Jack Martin
November 15, 2010
Nissan will show a new car at the Los Angeles Motor Show later this week, which takes unique attributes from at least three different segments to create a vehicle seemingly purpose built for Southern California. Set to go on sale in early 2011, the Murano CrossCabriolet 2011 is an all-wheel drive crossover convertible which Nissan says has plenty of room for four adults, plus enough space for golf bags and luggage, even with the top down.
The CrossCabriolet will go on show alongside the revised Nissan GT-R supercar which will make its North American debut.
More details when the 2010 Los Angeles Motor Show kicks-off.
Nissan moron-o? However I try to pronounce it, it still sounds like Nissan named this car to insult its driver.PeetEngineer
Ultimate girl car.colinshark
Special comment for stupid americans: Murano is famous city in Italy.Facebook User
Old hat! Check out the Isuzu VX-02 at http://www.insideline.com/isuzu/vx/1999-tokyo-isuzu-vx-02.html.Doug MacLeod
Murano is not a city in Italy (it's a region in Venice), nor was the Murano named for any city, fictional or otherwise. Murano in Japanese (Nissan is a Japanese company, or didn't you know that?) means "Villager," meaning one who lives in a village. Kinda like the Mercury Villager.Skeptical Jones

8 Tips for Managing Staff Through Hard Times
Many business owners push their salespeople harder during a downturn. Not Barbara Corcoran. The founder and former owner of The Corcoran Group, a leading New York City residential real-estate agency, takes a counterintuitive approach. Her advice? "Hold a sales meeting and ask salespeople to take out their calendars and pick a few weeks to take for vacations," she says. "A recession is a good time for this, because sales are low anyway, and it's an opportunity to reverse the mood of the company. No one wants to buy from a desperate salesperson with sweaty palms."

Homemade cinnamon ice cream with a custard base, cream, milk, sugar, and cinnamon.

Texas State Technical College West Texas (TSTC) has collaborated with the Sweetwater Texas Theatre Acquisition and Renovation (STTAR) board of directors to install a digital sign along Broadway in front of the Texas Theatre, which should benefit both organizations.
The sign will benefit the theater and the entity that owns it, STTAR, by giving them another avenue to advertise showings and fundraisers held for theater improvements. It will benefit TSTC by providing students of a digital signage class real-world experience.

It should surprise no one that Booth favorite K. Sparks is a fan of Family Guy; with his talent for working tangential, sometimes hilariously off-color retro pop culture references into his rhymes, the Queens emcee could probably write for the show. Centered around a vocal snippet from one of the envelope-pushing series' best-known characters, megalomaniacal toddler Stewie Griffin, this remixed version of Alright Then (Manic Monday #43) finds Sparks spitting off-the-wall verses that would make Seth MacFarlane proud—Mike Tyson, Indiana Jones, Michael Jackson and E.T. all serve as fodder for the emcee's Booth-renowned brand of allusive punchline lyricism. Complete with a percussion-driven, horn-punctuated instrumental by frequent Manic Mondays beatsmith T-Mos (see Temperature, Genesis...), this cut is, unsurprisingly, much better than "Alright," and is pretty much guaranteed to earn Sparks his 43rd round of rave reader reviews—now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Gary Coleman in Mexico…

Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: Advising those in the social service sector to take themselves more seriously, stay united, share best practices and engage regulators in mutually beneficial dialogue, Susan V. Berresford of the Ford Foundation has said the philanthropy sector was going through interesting times now.
Speaking at the 15the anniversary of the inception of the National Foundation for India (NFI) -- a professional, autonomous grant-making organisation -- Ms. Berresford said: "The social service sector needs to define and protect its field because we are the voice of the voiceless and can bring accountability in a country. We should not allow sub-sects in our sector which will weaken us and condition ourselves to think ahead of our times."
Also present on the occasion were M.S. Swaminathan, founder trustee of NFI; Anu Aga, Chairperson of Thermax Ltd; and NFI Chairman Kiran Karnik.
Asking the corporate sector to take its social responsibility more seriously, Ms. Aga said: "Profit-making should not become the sole aim of business. We need to invest in our youth and understand that a business can't succeed in a society if it fails to give back to the community."
Photo exhibition
Ms. Berresford also inaugurated a photo exhibition, "15 Years of Working for the Disempowered -- Making a Difference" by internationally recognised photographer Sudharak Olwe who has worked with the NFI to chronicle its work and partners across the country in a powerful photo documentary. His pictures exhibited at India Habitat Centre will be for sale.

Mexico lax in pursuing 'dirty war' crimes-Amnesty
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Foot-dragging by prosecutors and a
lack of government interest could mean Mexico will fail to try
former officials for "dirty war" human rights atrocities, the
head of Amnesty International said on Tuesday.
Irene Khan, Amnesty's secretary general, said the rights
group was worried a much-vaunted government program to punish
those responsible for Mexico's 1960s and 1970s campaign of
repression against students and activists had failed.
"We are very disappointed that there has been so little
progress on the dirty war," she told Reuters in a telephone
interview during a visit to Mexico.
"We fear that the window is basically closing now on that
issue for this administration," she said.
There was no immediate reaction from the Mexican government
to the Amnesty official's remarks.
In July, a Mexican court ruled there was insufficient
evidence to try former President Luis Echeverria for genocide,
ending a long legal battle to put him behind bars for bloodshed
during his rule.
It was a major setback in President Vicente Fox's drive to
punish those responsible for state repression during 71 years
of single-party rule that ended with his election in 2000.
Unlike neighboring nations in Central America, Mexico was
never under military rule, but in the late 1960s and 1970s the
Institutional Revolutionary Party cracked down on leftist
dissidents and hundreds were killed.
Special prosecutor Ignacio Carrillo, appointed by Fox to
investigate "dirty war" crimes, still plans to charge
Echeverria in a 1968 massacre considered the bloodiest single
moment of the crackdown, when he was interior minister.
However, Amnesty says official inertia and a lack of
planning mean it is unlikely that officials will be punished
before Fox leaves office in 18 months' time.
"Mexico has taken a very strong and positive stand on human
rights issues internationally but there is not the same
intensity … domestically," Khan said.
"The special prosecutor has done very little in terms of
developing a strategy of how to address (impunity)."
Amnesty also said Fox had not made sufficient progress on
stopping rights abuses by officials like the police, known for
arbitrary detentions and corruption
"The major human rights concern that we continue to have is
the endemic human rights problems at the level of the state,"
Khan said. "That is the level at which the majority of the
population come into contact with abuses by authorities."

N.Korea planning to ration foodgrains -UN official
By Jon Herskovitz
SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea might stop the sale of
foodgrains on the open market and return to a rationing system
where the staple will only be provided through distribution
centers, a spokesman for the U.N. World Food Programme said.
The move comes after the impoverished state said it no
longer wanted direct emergency food handouts from aid agencies
and was looking to build a more self-sufficient food sector.
Analysts have said a rationing system set by the government
for foodgrains would also help strengthen the hand of
Pyongyang's leaders.
"Our understanding is that later this month, product
trading in grains will no longer be allowed," Gerald Bourke, a
spokesman for the WFP based in Beijing, said on Wednesday.
The buying and selling of grains such as rice at markets
was part of economic liberalization measures rolled out in
The WFP has said that prices of staples such as rice had
increased since then, making it harder for North Korea's poor
to buy basic foodstuffs.
"Since 2002, the distance between the have and the
have-nots in North Korea has grown larger," Bourke said by
"The change in the grain market being implemented seems to
be aimed at making it easier for those who suffered most in the
market reforms to be better taken care of," Bourke said.
North Korea provides a daily ration now of about 250 grams
of grain, or less than two bowls of rice, with its citizens
using their own money to buy more staples at the market.
Bourke said the daily grain ration might increase to about
500 grams to 700 grams a day.
North Korea's severe food shortage has eased with the help
of a good harvest this year but international aid is still
needed because the country does not produce enough to feed
itself, the U.N. agency said in a recent report.
Bourke said the move toward rationing was part of North
Korean efforts to rely less on handouts and more on itself to
feed its population.
North Korea indicated in September it wanted all
humanitarian food assistance from international agencies to
stop by the end of this year, aid agency officials said.
The North will still accept direct aid from South Korea,
which provides its neighbor with massive amounts of rice with
far fewer monitoring visits than the WFP.
More than one million North Koreans are thought to have
died in a famine in the mid-1990s triggered by bad harvests,
flooding and mismanagement of the agricultural sector.

Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
Caleb is correct. You need to do some digging to make sure you know what the all in cost is for the haul out. Some places charge separately for a lot things, and others lump it all together. When I'm shopping I usually create a spreadsheet to try and get to an apples to apples comparison.
George is a good guy. I kept my boat at MBSY last winter and just sent in my contract for this winter. It is a little more expensive than what I paid at Glen Cove Marina, but after the Evil Empire (er, I mean Brewers) took that place over their prices went up such that I'd rather keep the old girl at MBSY, which is 10 minutes from my house.
FYI, you can't do your own bottom paint at MBSY (or most places for that matter), so that is extra.
Oh yeah, and that purchase price you paid was really just a license fee that permits you to spend money and time on the boat ...

About the Owner
This house is my grandma's house, and I arrange rentals for her since she isn't tech-savvy. My sister and cousins and I spent many a summer and family holidays in this house. I learned how to swim here, played board games, and carved pumpkins on the kitchen floor every Halloween.

4th of July Getaway
From the Owner
"This home was built by my uncle, David Webster (of David Webster Construction) for my grandma in the 70s. When certain parts like the kitchen, bathroom, and dining area became outdated, my uncle did the remodel too. The home is designed to feel lofty and tall like the pine trees which grow on the property, and the use of natural wood inside and out make this house fit in to the surroundings."
Activity and Interests
Websterwood boasts 88 feet of private lakefront access with a dock. The water near the dock is shallow enough for your kids to play safely, and there is some sand for sandcastles and other structures right at the lakefront access. Comfortable adirondack chairs on the dock make it perfect for adults to relax while viewing the lake or catching some sun. Only 500 feet from the house is the trailhead for the nature trails in the South Long Lake Preserve, home to many species of Michigan flora and fauna. Websterwood is only 10 minutes from Traverse City proper, a town rated #1 in America as a 'Foodie' town, and on many 'Top Ten' lists of best small town vacations spots, including by National Geographic. With scuba diving, hot air balloons, horseback riding, hiking, kayaking, swimming, ship rides, shopping, dozens of other watersports and activities, it's hard to find time to fit everything in your vacation! Take a wine tour of the Old Mission or Leelanau peninsulas, climb the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and swim in Lake Michigan, come for the Traverse City Film Festival or Traverse City Cherry Festival, and then return to a quiet, peaceful, lakefront home.

"This home is unique in that it is not a tiny, cramped cabin on the lake, but a house with soaring windows that overlooks 88 feet of private lake frontage. You won't feel cramped or as if you are roughing it; the kitchen is filled with modern appliances, and the home is filled with the sounds of nature, not traffic. My grandma gave the property she had across the road to the Long Lake Association, and it is now the trail head for nature trails and hiking paths, so you can easily access and enjoy those."

"Personalizing the invitation for an upcoming bachelorette party was very simple. It was easy changing, deleting and adding text in the box. There were a variety of fonts to choose from. I loved how I could change the color of the lace to the blue I needed to match my friends wedding colors rather than keeping it the tan color. The paper quality was great. Thick, smooth, beautiful finish. The colors were exact from screen to print. The guests loved the invites. Happy Planning!"
"The bachelorette party invites I ordered turned out great. I was able to personalize the color and have the designer fit additional text. The quality was great and I would definitely recommend to others."
"Creating the card was easy, and the designers were quick to make edits. They turned out beautifully! However, when the package arrived, it only contained the envelopes. So sad! Customer service was super nice and I received the reprinted invitations a few days later."
"I was looking for something simple within the black and gold theme and found this. Super easy to customize and the best part was that it's a postcard so I didn't have to buy envelopes! It showed up way before the estimated arrival date, which was great. And I could include a little message on the back for the guests. Perfect!"

Publisher's Description
"Your mother and father are running away," said a voice piercing the warm air. I froze and turned toward home. To a Hutterite, nothing is more shameful than that word, running away, Weglaufen..."
In 1969, Ann-Marie's parents did the unthinkable. They left a Hutterite colony in Canada with seven children, and little else, to start a new life. Overnight, the family was thrust into a society they did not understand and which knew little of their unique culture. The transition was overwhelming. Desperate to be accepted, ten-year-old Ann-Marie was forced to deny her heritage in order to fit in with her peers. I Am Hutterite chronicles her quest to reinvent herself as she comes to terms with the painful circumstances that led her family to leave community life. Rich with memorable characters and vivid descriptions, this ground-breaking narrative shines a light on intolerance, illuminating the simple truth that beneath every human exterior beats a heart longing for understanding and acceptance.
"A superb memoir . . . this has the makings of a prairie classic."
"Honest, strong, clear, direct, it opens the door on what has been for so many of us a completely closed world."

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Sally Field.
Congratulations to actress Sally Field, who was presented the Ally for Equality Award at the Human Rights Campaign's National Dinner in Washington, D.C. on October 6, 2012. The award was presented to Field by her openly gay son Sam Greisman.
Greisman, who regularly blogs at Towleroad.com, is the youngest of Field's three sons. His father is the producer Alan Greisman, to whom Field was married from 1984 to 1993.
Greisman described Field as his "constant champion" and said that "I feel very blessed to be able to say that she is my mother."
In accepting the award, Field spoke about her son and his coming out as a gay man. She said she decided to talk for the first time about her son's homosexuality for two reasons. First, she wanted to support other children who have been rejected by their families, and secondly she wanted to thank the glbtq community for fighting for the changes that made her "job as Sam's mother so much easier."
"The three things I am most proud of in my life are Peter, Eli and Sam, my sons," Field told the crowd of 3,000.
Speaking of Sam, she said her son's "journey to allow himself to be what nature intended him to be was not an easy one."
"Nature made Sam. It wasn't a choice. He was always, always Sam. Glorious, smart, funny, sweet Sam. And finally at 20, long after he beat the crap out of his brothers at tennis and he knew more than anyone about basketball, at 20 he was finally able to stand up proudly and say: I am a gay man."
"You all have fought for him as surely as if you were one of his parents," Field added. "You've changed and are changing the lives of little boys and girls who realize somewhere along the way they're just different from their other brothers and sisters--and so the fuck what?"
The video below presents both Greisman's humorous introduction and Field's eloquent and moving acceptance speech.

possible to "test drive" some nav software?
We will be chartering in Croatia in a few weeks. I'm wondering whether it would be possible to do a "test drive" with some navigation software. We won't really need to have electronic charts, but we will have a PC laptop with us and it would be fun/educational to try out some electronic charts.
Is there any software that's available for such a test? Without costing $$$ ?
It seems like an opportunity to try out a system, see what features are useful, which are fun but not really essential, etc. Is it possible to try something out without committing to making that our permanent choice?
We are planning for a year-long trip in 2007-08 and I'm considering PC and Mac systems for the boat. The laptop for this trip is PC based, so that limits us a little.
Any suggestions?
Capn Voyager has a free download for trial of version 8.0. I think it is a 30 day trial.
This month or last, Sail Magazine did a good comparative assessment of the software out there.
Also there is a weblog www.panbo.com with some good insights.
There are some free apps out there, but I have been using oziexplorer for five years now and find it meets our needs. It is just under $100 US.
Demo verson d/l is no-cost, and the cost to purchase is about $50. I bought it at $40. a couple years ago. Runs like a rocket on our iBook. The author provides regular updates and instantly responds to email questions.
NOAA charts are no-cost d/l, these days. I'll bet that there are similar apps for Linux and Windoz out there, with a little searching on the 'net....

Titan on the fast track
In just his second season, Tennessee's speedy running back Chris Johnson is mounting a strong assault on a 2,000-yard season and the NFL's record book
Age: 24 Height: 5-11 Weight: 200
Experience: 2nd year
College: East Carolina
2009 highlights
• Leads league in rushing yards (1,730), average yards per carry (5.7) and total yards from scrimmage (2,176).
• Current streak of nine 100-yard rushing games, tied for third-longest streak ever.
• Had six straight games of at least 125 rushing yards, one of only three players ever to do that. He was only one to average at least 5.0 yards per carry in each game.
• Three TD runs of 85 yards or more (85, 89, 91). No other player has had three in an entire career.
• 20 rushes of 20 or more yards, tied for the most in a season over the past 15 years. Six of those 20 went for TDs.
• Rushed for 800 yards in November, the most in any calendar month since 1970.
• First player ever to have a rushing TD of at least 90 yards, another rushing TD of at least 50 yards and a receiving TD of at least 60 yards in the same game.
• One of only five players to have at least 1,500 rushing yards in his team's first 12 games. Also one of five to gain 2,000 scrimmage yards in his team's first 13 games.
It's sort of like getting a confession out of a bank robber who's been caught red-handed and blue-faced, courtesy of the ink bomb that went off in the bag of stolen money.
Well, duh.
Still, Chris Johnson said it happens nearly every weekend, the postgame approach of opposing defensive players who tell him something he and everybody else already knew. They tell the Tennessee Titans running back extraordinaire that he had their undivided attention over the previous three-plus hours, explaining the eight or even nine men waiting for Johnson "in the box." For all the good it did them.
"A lot of guys come up to me right after the game and mention that," said Johnson yesterday via phone from Nashville. "They say they (weren't) gonna let me break off any runs, not gonna let me beat them, that they were gonna make somebody else beat them."
So how's that working out? Starting with his 128 yards rushing in an Oct. 18 loss at New England, Johnson hasn't been held below 100 yards in nine games, seven of which the Titans won in converting their record from 0-6 (after New England) to the 7-7 mark they'll take into Friday's game against the Chargers. Only Barry Sanders (14) and Marcus Allen (11) have had longer streaks of 100-yard games.
With his total of 1,730 yards, Johnson is nearly 400 ahead of the league's second-leading rusher, Steven Jackson of the St. Louis Rams. Johnson's average is 123.6 yards per game. Nobody else is over 96.6. At a point where no other running back in the NFL has broken off more than 11 gains of 20 yards or more, Johnson has 20, including scoring bursts of 85, 89 and 91 yards. All came in home games.

IT'S ABOUT SEVEN ON A SUNDAY night in Port Arthur, and Procter Street—the main drag downtown—is deserted except for two men standing in front of Andrew's Club. "In the old days this whole street would have been packed with people," bluesman Long John Hunter says to his brother Tom, who nods in agreement.
The "old days" means the early fifties, when Hunter, fellow guitar slinger Ervin Charles, and drummer Leroy Stelly dominated the Beaumont—Port Arthur blues circuit in the form of the Hollywood Bearcats. After Hunter, who turns 68 this month, left town in 1955, he and Charles, now 67, fell out of touch. But two years ago, Austin producer Tary Owens—another Port Arthur expatriate—arranged for the old friends to play a European blues festival with Lonnie Brooks, 65, and Phillip Walker, 62, two Port Arthur veterans based in Chicago and Los Angeles, respectively. The foursome—with Charles billed as a guest because of his smaller role and lesser star power—fell back into it so easily that they teamed up for Lone Star Shootout, a blazing primer on Gulf Coast blues and R&B that was released in late May by Alligator Records, and they're playing festivals this summer.
So it's no surprise that recently, when Hunter found himself with an open night after playing Houston and New Orleans, he asked his brother—a journalist and blues deejay—to book a mini-reunion with Charles. But Port Arthur hasn't been a music town for at least three decades, and the reunion proved more "mini" than planned. The audience was so small that Hunter and Charles thanked nearly everyone present by name. There was Elmer "Big Opelousas" Harris, a onetime professional dancer who owned the Beaumont club where they played their first gig. There was Stelly, who proved he knows his way around a dance floor as well as a drum kit, and Alnetter Metoyer, a former owner of the Blue Moon, the Port Acres club where the Bearcats ruled from 1953 to 1955. Throw in half a dozen friends and relatives, plus some young guitarists who hang with Charles, and that was that. But no matter. After Charles turned out a terrific set, Hunter played like a human jukebox for two hours; then the duo slunk into a swampy version of "Two Trains Running," the Muddy Waters tune that first made their reputation, and everyone went home happy.
The Port Arthur blues scene that produced Hunter, Charles, Brooks, and Walker is usually considered a footnote to Houston's—if it isn't overlooked entirely (even the Music Hall in Port Arthur's Museum of the Gulf Coast ignores the four men, though all but Charles are known internationally). But it had its own distinct flavor. Drawn by plentiful jobs at Port Arthur's booming oil refineries, African Americans poured in from all over Louisiana and East Texas. They worked long, hard hours and partied when they could. Their music was less sophisticated than the jazzy, big-city blues of Houston, but the sheer variety of sounds between the Bayou City and New Orleans was—and still is—unprecedented in American vernacular music. Swamp blues, swamp pop (Louisiana's languid versions of blues and rock and roll), country, gospel, New Orleans R&B, Cajun, and zydeco were boiled down to their spare, soulful essences in Port Arthur. And back then, Jefferson County was wide open: Gambling parlors and brothels were everywhere, and liquor was served around the clock to anyone with cash. Black club owners operated strings of joints on Hollywood and Forsythe streets in Beaumont and along West Gulfway Drive and Houston Avenue in Port Arthur.
The place to go, however, was Port Acres, an unincorporated subdivision west of Port Arthur that was the only integrated area in the region. "If something could be more low-down than Port Arthur, it was Port Acres," Owens says. There were dots on the map, such as China and Cheek, that seemed to exist solely so juke joints could operate there, but Port Acres boasted four black clubs with a capacity of five hundred to six hundred each. They had music every night but did their best business on the weekends, especially Sunday afternoons. "In the summer everybody would go to the beach on Sunday, and then later they'd be cooling off in Port Acres," Brooks recalls.
And at a time and a place where accordion king Clifton Chenier was inventing zydeco and Clarence "Bon Ton" Garlow rocked the blues, the Hollywood Bearcats drew the biggest crowds of all. "People would start coming around four in the afternoon and we'd come in about five and there was nowhere to park," Charles says. "We had to squeeze our way in to unload our instruments." "Port Acres was people just loving each other all the time," Hunter adds. "It was a fun thing, no fights." Brooks frequented the Blue Moon to see the Bearcats while an underaged Walker stood outside, listening through the window; both men eventually played guitar behind Chenier before patterning their own first bands after the Hunter-Charles group, using just two guitarists (one of whom played bass lines on his bottom strings) and a drummer. That particular configuration was a hallmark of the Gulf Coast sound, and it was a career booster for Brooks, known then as Guitar Junior, who used it to score the kind of huge regional hits—1960's "Family Rules" and "The Crawl"—that the Bearcats never could.
Predictably the nostalgia was thick when Hunter, Charles, Brooks, and Walker gathered in Austin in January to cut Lone Star Shootout. In the rehearsal studio and around the pool table, they swapped war stories, most of them unprintable or intended to be off the record. Suffice it to say that one of the four was known to get overly cozy with dice back then; another infuriated his bandmates by leaving with women for ninety minutes during breaks that were supposed to last ten; and two others, unbeknownst to one of them, shared a girlfriend who eventually bore a child, with the wrong man paying child support until it became visually conclusive

The Starkville 8-year-old All Stars are coming into the Dizzy Dean World Series with a lot of confidence.
The All-Stars face off against Bradley (Tenn.) North Heat today at 1 p.m. at Snowden Grove Park in Southaven.

HOOVER, Ala. – Johnthan Banks didn't spent Southeastern Conference Media Days talking about himself.
The former East Webster High School player who has developed into an All-SEC defensive back at Mississippi State decided to promote his teammates more than himself at the Wynfrey Hotel on Wednesday.
HOOVER, Ala. – Mississippi State fans have long waited for the day when their beloved Bulldogs displayed a high-flying, high-octane offense.
When quarterback Tyler Russell signed with Mississippi State, that fire was stoked giving way to the anticipation of when the Meridian native would lead the offense.
HOOVER, Ala. – Gabe Jackson really didn't know what to expect from Southeastern Conference Football Media Days.
The 6-4 320-pound junior guard from Liberty made all the stops on his first appearance at SEC Media Days.
HOOVER, Ala. – The NCAA has implemented several new rule changes for the upcoming season.
The most significant being moving the kickoff to the 35-yard line from the 30-yard line and making a touchback go to the 25-yard line rather than the 20-yard line like it has been in years past.

Well, he's in quite a spiral. The neighbor wants to prosecute.. Justin Bieber spit in his neighbor's face and threatened to kill him, after the neighbor dared tell the singer he was driving recklessly ... that's exactly what the neighbor told Sheriff's deputies. Law enforcement and neighbors tell TMZ ... Bieber hocked a loogie in the man's face during a heated confrontation Tuesday morning. We're told Justin's Ferrari had arrived on a flatbed truck at around 8:00 AM and Justin decided to take it for a ride in the gated community. A number of neighbors say Justin was driving insanely fast -- the complaining neighbor says 100 mph. The man -- a 47-year-old successful businessman and father of 3 -- went onto Justin's Calabasas property and screamed, "You can't drive like this!" The man told deputies, Justin responded by saying , "Get the f**k out of here," and then he spit in the guy's face and said, "I'm gonna f**king kill you." The man filed a battery report and we're told he wants Bieber prosecuted and will not back down. Sources connected to Justin's security team told TMZ there was no physical contact between the singer and the neighbor.

We went to Denver and there were so many nice people and great smells. Alyssa,Keira and me stayed in a la quinta, they are pet friendly! In Denver there was a Star Trek and comic book convention and the people were dressed up in all sorts of costumes. One lovey lady said she was surprised that I didn't get scared with all the costumes. Keira told them that there wasn't much that would shake me up. The coolest part for me was when Marena Sirtus came running over to get her "doggie" fix. She hadn't seen her Pom in ten days.
I am still waiting for my guardian to get her ankle well so we can do physical therapy for my knee.
So my guardian had ankle surgery and I had knee surgery. I guess we will do physical therapy when she can walk again.

It's never not the time for sexy ginger hotness, today provided by the young hot actress, Emma Stone, out in N.Y.C. pimping Crazy Stupid Love on Letterman last night and The Today Show this morning, and just looking all kinds of off-limits naughty (yeah, that's mostly in my head, but I'm sticking with it).

-+*Walter Moss: There is little chance that any Republican nominee will put dealing with climate change at the center of his/her agenda, but we progressives should insure that at least the Democratic nominee does.
-+*Annette Bernhardt: The inequality debate often focuses on globalization and new technology, but we know that the decline of unions and the falling real value of the minimum wage have also played critical roles.

It's no secret among the medical community that there are patients whose only purpose is to find fault with everything the physician, nurse and health care team are doing. These patients are rarely seriously ill but want to make their living by filing frivolous lawsuits against anyone involved in their care. It is unfortunate that as care givers trying to help, we are rewarded with the impending threat of lawsuits by patients whose only goal is to achieve a monetary reward.

Hero beavers stop oil spill with their dam
A large Utah oil spill was partially contained thanks to the work of a pack of beavers.
Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 12:28 PM
Willard Bay State Park in Utah was spared the worst of a 27,000-gallon Chevron oil spill last week thanks to a large dam built and maintained by a group of six beavers. The oil spilled from a pipeline running from Utah to Washington state and was blocked from spreading into the park's marshes and wetlands by the dam.
The six beavers have been rescued and put up at an animal refuge, but sadly three of them suffered chemical burns from the spill and face a difficult road to recovery.
This story hits home for me because of an ongoing controversy over a plan to ship tar sands oil through a pipeline that runs from my home in Portland, Maine, up to Montreal, Canada. The pipeline runs near Sebago Lake, a beautiful lake that provides most of southern Maine's drinking water. Tar sands oil is more corrosive than conventional oil and would more rapidly degrade the pipeline, greatly increasing the chances of a spill like the one that happened in Utah. But the next time a spill happens, the beavers probably won't be there to save us.
