Correction: Ryder Cup-Lawrie story
Thursday - 10/4/2012, 4:02pm EDT
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) - ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) _ In a story Oct. 3 about European Ryder Cup player Paul Lawrie, The Associated Press erroneously reported that he was the oldest player on either the Europe or United States team, at 43. Steve Stricker, who played for the U.S., is 45.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Paul Lawrie criticizes crowd behavior at Medinah
Paul Lawrie unhappy at Medinah peanut gallery, calls Ryder Cup win `all the more satisfying'
By BERNIE McGUIRE
Associated Press
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) _ Paul Lawrie wasn't just battling Brandt Snedeker as Europe won the Ryder Cup. He also had to contend with the Medinah crowd.
Lawrie, the oldest player on Europe's team at 43, lost his opening fourballs match Saturday before beating Snedeker by 5-and-3 in the biggest singles victory on Sunday. But the Scot was unhappy at the behavior of the Chicago gallery, and said captain Jose Maria Olazabal dealt with the issue in meetings at the start of last week.
"I didn't get abused, but you get comments like: `Top it! Shank it! You're going to lose.' Stuff like that on every shot you play," Lawrie said Wednesday. "Every single shot you hit last week, that's what you get. So apparently that's how it is."
"Jose Maria made it clear _ don't even look at them, don't take them on. Certainly don't react. Don't make on as though it's hurting us. Just hit your shot and walk on. It's pretty tough when someone is screaming and blowing in your ear that you're a loser. But there's not much you can do. Which makes it all the more satisfying on Sunday night when you're standing there with the Ryder Cup in front of you and they are not."
Lawrie said it had happened to him before in the United States, but that Europe's fans could be just as bad.
"That was the same the last time I played in the Ryder Cup in `99, and I think they (U.S. team) said it's the same when they come here," Lawrie said.
Europe retained the cup by winning 14 1/2-13 1/2 after starting the final day with a 10-6 deficit.
Lawrie, who joins teammates Martin Kaymer and Peter Hanson at the Dunhill Links Championship this week in St. Andrews, has been installed at 16/1 by British bookmaker William Hill to lead Europe in 2014 at Gleneagles. Paul McGinley is the 11/10 favorite.
"I don't think I will be offered the captaincy. But if they did it's a tough decision to make because not many people would knock it back," Lawrie said. "I would have to look at it and see that you're presently 28th in the world, so I'm not sure that's captain time.
"I am kind of thinking I want to play in that 2014 team."

LONDON (ICIS)--European bisphenol A (BPA) October freely negotiated contract prices have rolled over because the market is balanced and domestic suppliers were unwilling to lower prices as margins are already unsustainably thin, sources said on Friday.
The freely negotiated contract price for October is at €1,400-1,500/tonne ($1,892-2,027/tonne) FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe).
Some buyers said that they managed to get a reduction, but those were mostly for imported material and not from western European producers, which are out of the spot or freely negotiated markets as a result of extremely low prices.
According to one major producer, selling to buyers at the price they are asking for would be a suicide as consumers tend to bid for €1,350/tonne FD NWE or even lower, which would not even cover production costs.
($1 = €0.74)

MELBOURNE (ICIS)--China's Jilin Petrochemical, a subsidiary of PetroChina, has cut the operating rate at its 120,000 tonne/year phenol/acetone plant to 80% capacity because of weak market conditions, sources close to the company said on Tuesday.
The producer cut its plant operating rate from 100% capacity in response to the margin erosion caused by persistently high feedstock benzene costs as well as a build- up in its phenol inventory, the sources said.
Jilin Petrochemical was the third phenol/acetone maker in China to reduce its output, following similar actions taken by Sinopec SABIC Tianjin and Bluestar Harbin Petrochemical.

Property Details
House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, 6 Sleeps
We are a new listing on VacationRentals but we have owned and managed Casa Serena since March of 2006. You can see our reviews and more info on our VRBO listing #79658.
Our guests say it best ......!!
"My wife, mom, two sons, and nephew all spent a week here in June and had the most wonderful time. I will surely want to stay here again. The process was smooth and the owners answered all our questions upfront and in a timely fashion. The accommodations were very comfortable and we settled in easily. My mother was so grateful to have a nice big bedroom to sleep in and privacy on the patio to relax and read. Over all this place is very nicely located, has plenty of room, is private, and feels like home almost right away. I can surely see this being our "homeaway" in Santa Fe."
Attractive, colorfully-decorated three bedroom, two bath home with central air conditioning within walking distance of the Plaza. This home is situated to take full advantage of outdoor living. There is a large patio which wraps completely around from the dining room to the bedrooms. Our home is next to an acre of green belt giving a feeling of wilderness and privacy.
The Chef's kitchen is fully equipped, including an under-counter wine cooler, and adjacent sunny (South facing) breakfast room.
There are two large bedrooms (both with TVs and King beds) on the main floor, both have sliding glass doors leading to a secluded patio area to enjoy your morning coffee. The third bedroom, on a lower floor (with two twin beds) is the perfect "entertainment" center, with TV/DVD, high speed cable internet connection, with both direct connection to your computer or wireless.
The main living room, with kiva fireplace, faces South with great views of the Sandia, Ortiz and Cerrillos mountains and at night, a city lights view.
There is a retractable awning on the front balcony which provides day-time shade. The lucky people who are here during the Zozobra festival in September will have a birds eye view of the fireworks and burning of old man gloom in Fort Marcy Park, just down the hill.
The overall setting of our home, like the newly-refurbished decor, is very Santa Fean; with dirt roads, no street lights and little or no traffic, yet within 0.7 miles from the North edge of the Plaza. There is a two car garage, with additional parking.

Comfortable & convenient! A great choice.Comfortable & convenient! A great choice.
Excellent place for family in downtown
The only minor issue is that you can hear the heater turn on at night quite clearly in the bedrooms but its no louder than an average hotel room and certainly does not disturb your sleep unless you need absolute quite.
We highly recommend this place and would certainly stay there again.
Everything we expected and then some!

Microsoft Gives Employees Sneak Peek At New 'Selfie' Phone
(CBS Seattle) — Microsoft has plans to launch two new Windows Phone 8.1 devices soon — one of which is being described as a "selfie phone."
At an internal company meeting on Monday, Devices Chief Stephen Elop revealed the prototypes and video teasers for the devices, according to The Verge. Microsoft's "selfie phone" was previously revealed as codename "Superman," a handset with a 5-megapixel forward-facing camera and 4.7-inch display.
The phone's front camera is more powerful than the 1.2-megapixel front camera on Apple's iPhone. Microsoft's phone's screen is larger, making it better-suited for people who want to take pictures of themselves.
Samsung launched the Galazy K Zoom earlier this year, another phone aimed at pleasing consumers who frequently take "selfies."
The other phone Microsoft revealed has the codename "Tesla." It is described as an "affordable high-end phone" with a PureView camera. Tesla will reportedly debut as a Lumia 720 replacement, and mark a new effort by Microsoft to push PureView down to even lower prices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Borisboots So relaxing We expected a great holiday in Dubai however Le Royal Meridien made our holiday amazing. The hotel and its staff are 'top draw'. The hotel's facilities , restaurants and cleanliness are a credit to the hotel. We went out of the hotel once as we felt we should see more of Dubai however after 3 hours we could not wait to get back to the relaxing atmosphere . Cannot wait until our next stay. May 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Andy1979 5star service Having just stayed at the the le royal meridian for 5 nights for my girlfriends birthday, It was amazing the staff can't do enough, even made a cake when we come back from a day out, , so glad I booked to stay here, the hotel and grounds for very well kept, even better then the pictures, had a very nice view, just what I asked for, of the palm, could even see the Atlantis, One the the best resorts..good location, must stay here May 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by john9 Fabulous Hotel A beautiful hotel with fantastic grounds surrounding the swimming pools.All the staff were exceptionally professional.courteous and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.The service in and the decor and layout of the restaurants were impeccable with wideranging and delicious menus.The food itself was of a high standard and beautifully presented May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WendyM Fantastic Hotel My husband and I stayed 3 nights at the hotel, the overall experience was Excellent. Our room overlooked the sea which is a must for anyone and it was nice to have a balcony without having to ask for one when booking. The hotel was very clean and the facilities were excellent, breakfast was great. The Gary Rhodes restaurant is a must for anyone staying it was amazing. If I had one constructive improvment it would be that whilst sitting by the pool we were only asked once if we wanted a drink or food, if we had been asked more we would have said yes and spent more, therefore slight disappointment but did not spoil our stay in any way just would have made "Staff Met my Needs" a 5 instead of a 4. Thank you to everyone who made our stay a memorable experience as this was a special occassion for us. May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rana Outstanding Hotel and Staff!! My stay at this hotel was above all expectations. The staff, facilities and location were perfect! I have stayed in 5 star hotels before, but never have I been looked after with such passion and concern. You will not regret a stay at this hotel. I stayed with my sister, but the hotel caters for couples and families too. The massage and spa were the best!! Congratulations to the staff and managers for running such a perfect operation!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SonyaP Welcome, people and facilities excellent We have just returned from our holiday and had a perfect time. Right from arrival at Airport when we picked up by our transfer to hotel - the holiday was 5*. Although late arrival at hotel our welcome was warm and check in was seamless. Our room was very good with impressive views from all rooms - particularly the bathroom. All staff were exceptional but special mention has to go to Rijo in Club Lounge. Pool and garden areas were brilliantly maintained and all added to a perfectly relaxing 5* holiday. Added bonus was that hotel is located right on The Walk. We will be back. May 13, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by Ashutosh This hotel can improve a lot The room I stayed in ( room 953) had two problems : the sink in the bath was draining very slowly . It took an overnight to drain one sinkful of water and the second issue was the bath tub that did not drain at all . I had a shower in ankle deep water . When I reported this issue the following morning , the person at the desk heard my complaint politely enough but his response was very strange, almost funny . He said, " I will get house keeping to look into this , but Sir, do you confirm that the lighting in the room AND air conditioning worked, alright, did it ? " May 10, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kal35 Great quick service I came to Le Meridian and was at first impressed by the hotels appearance. At check in I was informed that I was being upgraded to a superior suite which was a great surprise. The receptionist walked with me to another building and waited while I checked in. She also offered me a great juice of lemon with mint which was very refreshing. The room as I entered had a strange old smell to it so I commented on this and was moved to another room immediately which was great. Room was big, clean and had everything I required. My sleep was quiet and very good on the soft beds and great pillows. Breakfast was good with lots of variety. The pool was very nice and not crowded which allowed me to relax for the afternoon. In the evening the hotel is literally a 2 minute walk from the famous JBR. Taxis were always available and I was greeted by employees always making you feel like youre at home. Check out was smooth and fantastic. I would recommend this to both single people and families. Thanks and keep up the great work. KY April 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tatayoyolyon great place there are of course plenty of great hotels in Dubaï, but this one has the best surroundings, huge garden, many pools, big private beach and lots of deckchairs and beach umbrellas, so you never have to wake up early to get one. Due to the size of the garden you don't feel you're in a crowd, there's always the possibility to be in a quiet place and this is great, we'll be back April 28, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by Charley1 Overview We have been to Dubai on several occasions and stayed in some wonderful hotels, however the Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa is by far the best overall hotel which we have stayed in, both in terms of quality and helpful friendly staff. We will definable be staying at this hotel when we re-visit Dubai. April 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by thornaby189 value for money?? not really Paid over the top for a room overlooking the kitchen/back of hotel which was quite noisy also overlooked a storage dump for garden supply unit of some sort? room was an upgrade so i dread to think what our original rooms view would have been?! this was a sea room view and yes you could see the sea a little but was really spoiled by the above mentioned,shower leaked all over bathroom floor so we were constantly having to mop up and lay towels down,not a big problem just a little annoying! requested a refund on a cancelled trip due to weather conditions only to be given bad attitude from a receptionist like it was too much trouble! and then told sorry about that she`s new and training?! not good enough im afraid,we were told by reception shades bar was open only to be turned away as it was quiet and they had obviously decided to close early! again not good enough for a 5 star resort and i have stayed in many all over the world,on a positive note the grounds were beautiful and well kept and most of the staff were very attentive and polite,with all the 5 star hotels in Dubai not sure i would stay here again,but also hotel concierge Eddy i seem to to recall his name was, 10 out of 10 looked after us fantasticlly well,so thankyou eddy!

Richard has been a log home builder for 27 years. Richard and Katie have both seen their partners go through cancer and pass away. Then God so graciously brought us together in 2005. Richard had 11 children and Katie had 9 which gives us the grand total of 20. One passed on in 2000 so we cherish the others though most of them are now married and do not live at home.
We enjoy all the natural beauty around us. We greatly appreciate what ' Our loving Father in Heaven' has created for our enjoyment.

Richard and Katie Troyer purchased this lodge in 1998
We are using this beautiful log home as a model as we share it with others.
I always enjoyed water, The depth of the lake and the high ground with its ever green trees all around is what drew me to this location. You will have to exsperance it yourself to know what i am saying.--------Richard & Katie-------
Dear Mr.Troyer & Family; Just want to say thank You for a wonderful stay at your "Waters Edge" Cabin; We loved all the exquisite decor of each room. We had an invigorating walk around the lake, but the highlight of the trip was the zip line experience. Your cabin is so inviting and it allowed plenty of room for 3 generation to interact.
Thank You again for a very enjoyable weekend. Mr. & Mrs Buck our Kids & GrandKids Too!
What a perfect location! This stunning log home provided us with privacy, serenity and beauty. We have already booked for next winter. Richard and Katie were charming and trustworthy.
What a wonderful location for our annual family vacation. Our crew included five adult brothers and sisters and inlaws along with their 6 teenage children and grandma and grandpa. We had a total of 13 and the cabin fit all easily and comfortably. It is a beautiful cabin; large spacious and conducive to family activities. The waterfall outside is beautiful but we did turn it off after a while so we could enjoy peaceful mornings and evenings. No TV or internet was great, although it did take a bit of time for some of the folks to get used to. A big table allowed us to plan many board games. In addition we had a ping pong tournament in the game room and a corn hole tournament outside.
The small lake (no power boats) was peaceful. We enjoyed fishing for bass, and a bit of swimming. The bass fishing was actually quite good and we caught a few sizable fish right off the dock. The zipline was a treat for the teenagers, parents and even grandma at age 79 enjoyed the experience. While there is a volleyball court on the property we chose to make the short 15 minute drive to Cadillac to enjoy the beach and sand volleyball court. While there we also made it a point to stop for Ice Cream at Cheryl's Landing.
Overall, I highly recommend this cabin for family vacations and group events where you want to enjoy the natural surroundings and each other. I am certain we'll be back.
This was my family's 2nd opportunity to relax in this absolute Marvel of a cottage, and it truly only got better, with the addition of the Water Fall, Car Port and Pontoon Lake Slide this cottage cannot possibly disappoint. How wonderful it is to be able to reconnect with your family by simply pulling the plug on their technology. No internet is a blessing in this paradise, and this is coming from an I.T. Professional...If you are looking for the Story Book Cottage adventure with incredibly gracious hosts, than cross your fingers as I did this year and pray there is an open week left to celebrate it with your family...I know this cottage already has a name but I vote for a name change....Heaven on the Lake...Thanks you Richard and Katie once again for the opportunity our memories will never be forgotten
Adam Fevreau
This property surpassed our expectations. The log home was beautifully crafted, there are many thoughtful details throughout that extend to the waterfall and dock. The rainbow bridge was a lot of fun and we got some good family photos. We went during the Fall colors and the views from the deck were amazing. We enjoyed all the supplied firewood for the fireplace and campfires. It was fun to meet the owner and hear his stories about how they built the place and to fellowship over God's Word.
We used this location for our organization's leadership training, and we didn't have one negative thing to say about it. Richard and Katie are very sweet people first of all. Secondly, the property and the cabin were perfect for the purpose of our trip. It was perfect for the young people that we brought. They couldn't sit on their phones, computers, or in front of a TV. They were forced to engage in human interaction, and for this generation, that's almost unheard of! Even though they didn't have internet or TV, they had a BLAST. Swimming, fishing, volleyball, canoeing, bonfire, the zip line... Seriously, we were ALL satisfied and would not change a thing. Even from a bunch of teenagers, there were NO complaints.
The cabin was exceptional. Well designed. Large and comfortable. The opportunity for activity was also excellent. The unit was well priced for the amenities. Washer and Dryer were new. I would have given it an excellent if the kitchen cookware has been better.
Private Lake Boating and Fishing and Swimming in nearby RoseLake is also available. with-in 15 to 45 minutes there is golfing, steel head and samom fishing, golfing, hunting , down hill and cross country and jet skiing, Rafting, lots of restaurants. and much more. Volleybal court and games for the family

It's probably something going wrong on my end, however, when I tried to install the Portfolio theme I got the following message themeforest_my-portfolio-one-page-theme_558552/css Template is missing.
Stylesheet is missing.
Any suggestions?
Hi hafiz,
I think ur trying to install this as a wordpress theme? This is actually a site template and it requires a conversion to make it work for wp.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Arthur
I Downloaded the file, ehile it was free in December. Now my computer crashed again, and i would like to download it again, for free. Just as i dit 3 days ago. Is this possible?? Thanks anyway…
P.S. Great template. Really nice design.
Beautiful work, i love this portfolio because it's very clean.
I would like to get away " jquery.lightbox.js" because i don't want to keep the lightbox plugin on my page. When i doit, the navigation-container doesn't work. Why ? This no way to throw away " jquery.lightbox.js" and to keep the menu fonction ?
Think a lot
I love the look of this – and bought it the other day
however, the contact box doesn't work at all and worryingly it comes up with a message saying success! after you've put in a message (which has failed to send) Also the contact box does not disappear after sending the message (as it does on the demo)
So this bit looks quite unprofessional. Can you help sort this out please?
Got the template in DEC …great job…do you know why the next / previous text links (and images) do not work in lightbox?

Is there anyway to keep the side bar inline on android and ipad display? I want the menu to stay still but I have to scroll up every time in the demo. I am about to purchase and want to make sure there is a work around for this first.
Hi Johnsoko!
I am looking for a template which is:
– one page layout
– blogs have dedicated URLs (deep-links) so can be identified, linked from LinkedIn, etc.
Does this layer solves this problem? Usually one-pager templates I saw so far reload the content to the same page, homepage, using AJAX , so the page is not re-loaded.
Thank you for your answer in advance.

The structural model helps solve a scientific mystery: how the protein dynein fuels itself to perform cellular functions vital to life. These functions include mitosis, or cell division into identical cells.
Dynein uses energy derived from ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that is the principal form of energy for cells. The lack of a comprehensive and detailed molecular structure for dynein has kept scientists largely in the dark about how the protein converts ATP into mechanical force, said Dr. Nikolay V. Dokholyan, assistant professor of biochemistry and biophysics in the UNC School of Medicine.
Dokholyan said the dynein puzzle is similar to figuring out how auto engines make cars move.
"You have an engine up front that burns gas, but we didn't know how the wheels are made to move.?
Dr. Timothy Elston, associate professor of pharmacology and director of the School of Medicine's bioinformatics and computational biology program, explains further. "One of the unknowns about dynein was that the molecular site where chemical energy is initially released from ATP is very far away from where the mechanical force occurs. The mechanical force must be transmitted over a large distance.?
The study was published online Nov. 22 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition. The work was supported in part by grants from the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the American Heart Association.
Using a variety of modeling techniques that allowed resolution at the level of atoms, Adrian W.R. Serohijos, a graduate student in Dokholyan's lab and first author of the study, identified a flexible, spring-like "coiled-coil?region within dynein. It couples the motor

Michael Jackson, z"l
Notes on the passing of a star
Most surprising to some (or to us, anyway) in the coverage of the death of the phenomenally successful and influential pop singer Michael Jackson is the appearance in recent photos of a bendel, the red string bracelet Kabbalah adherents wear to help ward off the evil eye. He reportedly began an on-going exploration of the mystical tradition four years ago, even while speculation arose that the former Jehovah's Witness had converted to Islam.
The bracelet is but one totem of a relationship with Jews that was, like most everything in the star's life, rocky. In 1995 he was publicly castigated for lyrics ("Jew me, sue me, everybody do me/ Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me") from the song "They Don't Care About Us." Jackson rejected the critique that he espoused anti-Semitism, saying "the song in fact is about the pain of prejudice and hate and is a way to draw attention to social and political problems. I am the voice of the accused and the attacked. I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead, I am the Jew, I am the black man, I am the white man," according to the New York Times. Despite the rebuttal, he changed the lyrics. A second flare-up ten years later renewed speculation about Jackson's feelings about the Jews when a phone recording of the pop wonder calling two Jewish former business associates "leeches" was leaked.
A reputed loner, Jackson did, apparently, have occasional spiritual advisors—or so Shmuely Boteach suggests in a homage in which the rabbi subtly congratulates himself for accompanying Jackson to Shabbat dinners and services and for introducing him to Elie Wiesel. And David Suissa, the editor of Olam magazine recalls Jackson's joy at Suissa's rendition of a Sephardic melody during a meeting in which Jackson agreed to write an article about his childhood for the magazine. The legendary entertainer wrote that his youth "was not an idyllic landscape of memories. My relationship with my father was strained, and my childhood was an emotionally difficult time for me." For Jackson, difficult times never abated completely.

Royce White's fear of flying shouldn't ground NBA career
Jun 29, 2012, 2:19 PM EDT
It was a steal of a pick by the Houston Rockets — Royce White played point forward in college and excelled at it, leading Iowa State in points, rebounds, assists and virtually every other category you can think of.
Yet he slid down to 16 in the draft, possibly in part do to a generalized anxiety disorder. Something that he was diagnosed with at age 18, something that he takes medication for, something he is very open about.
Part of that is a fear of flying. Which is something NBA players do a lot. White was very open about it speaking with Sports Illustrated before the draft, saying he gets very nervous in the hours before a flight.
But Dr. Reid Wilson, director of anxieties.com, told MSNBC.com that this is something White may e specially equipped to overcome. He has worked with college football players before on this.
"These are guys who know how to be courageous and determined," points out Wilson, a psychologist. This ability to focus helps them rapidly pick up the skills to get over their fears.
This makes Wilson optimistic for White, adding that a fear of flying is "a very treatable problem."
White is not alone with this, either.
"Usually those with a fear of flying are very bright, hard-working, high-energy people, who really do things well," says Jean Ratner, a social worker who directs the Center for Travel Anxiety in Bethesda, Md. "But they have this one area of their lives where they feel frightened and don't know what to do about it…
"I give this guy a lot of credit because he's saying something some men fail to acknowledge," says Ratner. "If he can bring more attention to a fear of flying and anxiety disorders, more power to him."
White is going to get past this. And Rockets fans are going to love his skill set where he feels most comfortable — on the basketball court.

This guy is one of the more interesting players and I'm very curious to see how he pans out in the NBA. In the two games I remember seeing him he kind of reminded me of a poor mans LeBron with less athletisism. 2012-13 season is going to be fun as hell!
- 808raiderinparadise - Jun 29, 2012 at 4:43 PM
Poor man's LeBron? I guess, except LeBron is the best player in the world right now, so thats a HUGE compliment, but he does fill up the stat sheet, I like his game, but if he doesn't develop a jump-shot, he will shrink in the NBA, maybe he can be a big Rondo. lol
Irony is he hates to fly and the team he signs with is called the "rockets" !!!!! hahahhahah
- slopmcflop - Jun 29, 2012 at 3:00 PM
Excuse me for directing traffic outside of your site, but this
is a fantastic piece on Royce over at Grantland. I think Houston will be more than pleased with the pick.
- thekingdave - Jun 29, 2012 at 3:07 PM
All well and good about Rockets fans being pleased with the pick, but we need to see Lowry, Scola, and Martin shipped out before we even get to that point.
- borderline1988 - Jun 29, 2012 at 3:58 PM
The Rockets have a ton of options here…they have so many assets and tradeable pieces that every time there's a rumour about a star being traded, you know Houston will be in the mix. Considering how many players they have at the forward position, you know that they're going to do something…
- jjordannba - Jun 29, 2012 at 3:19 PM
I Like him as a pick to excel in the NBA, The Celtics were looking to get him as a sleeper but unfortunately the Rockets snatched him up
- ss3walkman - Jun 29, 2012 at 6:03 PM
Boston needed this dude to guard those SF of the east like Lebron, Melo and Granger. A nice big body to put in front of Lebron especially
- Mr. Wright 212 - Jun 29, 2012 at 4:13 PM
Reminds me of Antoine Carr when he came out of college (although Carr was only about 235).

Thanks for the reply John.
No - have not sold the Westsail and probably will not, but I'm intrigued by the Alajuela 38. I have heard from other people that the interior space is about the same as the W32 and that the A38 is basically a more refined W32. Indeed the A38 looks exactly like the W32 from the side and has almost the same beam. A friend here has an A33 and the interior is very well done....and the hull/deck joint on the Alajuela boats is the best in my opinion.
We might take a year off and cruise with the kids (5, 8 & 10) so we will be cramped and I'm drawn to the Atkins designs....but you have confirmed that the interior space is about the same as our boat.
I'm a sucker for the lines though!
Originally Posted by
The factory-finished Alejuela 38s are said to be nice quality boats. I've never sailed aboard one, but there are two of them at our marina, so I get to oggle them closely. There was a lot of nice custom wood and metalwork on the boats that distinguished them from run-of-the-mill production boats. They were considered many steps higher than say, Westsail, in terms of refinement and quality.
The A38 is a variation of William Atkin's Ingrid ketch. In fact, it's my understanding that it was an
variation, i.e. the design was essentially stolen and re-configured as a cutter rather than a Ketch, with no royalties paid to the designer's heirs. This legal sticking point may have contributed in part to the company's demise -- they went under in the late 70's or early 80's along with many other So.Cal. builders.
As much as I like the double-ender looks, and admire William Atkin designs, the standard interior does not appeal to me much. To my eye, with the standard configuration, it is a 38' boat without a lot of interior space. Your Westsail 32 (another Atkin design) is nearly as voluminous, but in a much more compact package. However, I have seen a few interiors that had better configurations -- with aft cabins or quarterberths. Of course, interior configuration is often a matter of personal preference.
They were solidly built boats. But, like your Westsail, they were polyester resin boats, so would have to be inspected for blistering (I have no specific knowledge about blistering problems, though).
Don't tell us you've already sold that Westsail?

San Diego The county public defender will represent the man suspected in the rape and murder of Poway teenager Chelsea King and has assigned two attorneys to the case, a strong indication that prosecutors will seek the death penalty, according to a courthouse source.
John Albert Gardner III, 30, a registered sex offender from Lake Elsinore, is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday afternoon for a hearing that may force prosecutors to reveal what led to his arrest and announce whether the charges will include one or more special allegations that would make him eligibile for the death penalty.
The 2:30 p.m. court appearance will be the culmination of a weeklong ordeal that has gripped the nation and led more than 6,000 volunteers to look for Chelsea, a 17-year-old Poway High School student. She disappeared Thursday after going for a jog in the Rancho Bernardo Community Park.
Authorities discovered a body in a shallow grave Tuesday near Lake Hodges, about a half-mile from where Chelsea had parked her car. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said there is a "strong likelihood" that it is Chelsea and that the body would be positively identified on Wednesday.
Police are also investigating a vandalism incident at the Rancho Bernardo home of Gardner's mother and stepfather. Someone using red spray paint wrote "Chelseas blood is on you" and "move out" on the garage door of their townhouse on Matinal Road about 5:40 a.m., San Diego police Sgt. Ray Battrick said. The words were painted over a couple hours later.
Brent King, Chelsea's father, struggled to maintain his composure Tuesday night as he stood before thousands at a somber candlelight vigil, just hours after authorities told him they believed the body found near the lake was probably his daughter's.
"One of the nicknames that I've always called my daughter is 'my angel,' " Brent King told those who gathered at St. Michael Catholic Church in Poway. "She's my angel forever."
He added: "Keep her spirit alive for us."
A man then yelled from the crowd, "We love you!"
King, with his wife, Kelly, by his side, replied: "We love you, too."
Sara Muller Fraunces, a spokewoman for the King family, declined to say whether the parents would be at the arraignment. She directed people to visit the "Chelsea King Search Center" Facebook page, which will be changed today to "Chelsea's Light," for family statements and memorial service details.

"For 20 years, the ELPC has been working to improve environmental quality and protect our natural resources here in Illinois and across the Midwest. As Illinois Attorney General, I've been proud to partner with ELPC to protect our rights to safe drinking water and clean air. Congratulations, ELPC, on reaching this great milestone. And I know the next 20 years will be just as successful."
"As one of America's 11 most endangered places, the Saugatuck Dunes cultural landscape owes a great deal of thanks to the Environmental Law and Policy Center for making this place on the Great Lakes a little less endangered. We are grateful for your wise council, good humor and for mentoring those who care so deeply for our place."
Please tell Gov. Bruce Rauner that it's time to finally ditch the proposed Illiana Tollway boondoggle.

In the IDEAS Room, I have enjoyed talking to students as they are on their way to their first classes of the semester. This school year, the IDEAS Room challenges students to think about the learning possibilities that are available beyond the four walls of the classroom via social networking and the web. The IDEAS Room will continue to model how social networking tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Diigo, and our newly created Pinterest page can be used for professional learning. Please like and follow us on these sites to experience the resources that are available at your fingertips. Then, consider how YOU can use these sites to engage your clients, patrons, students, parents, etc. in a larger learning community in which you can communicate with and empower your audience.
