HOUSTON (ICIS)--The ?xml:namespace>
Southern Chemical (SCC) nominated 126 cents/gal, the same as its February price. That put the March methanol contract range once again at 126-128 cents/gal, a repeat of February.
On Thursday, Methanex rolled its March price at February's 128 cents/gal.
Methanex and SCC historically have set the monthly North American contract methanol range with their nominations.
Earlier in the week, methanol sources said either the March contract would fall or spot prices had to rise to tighten the wide gap between the two.
Spot prices rose, with a producer on Friday selling two barges for March delivery at 111.5 cents/gal, moving the range to 108-112 cents/gal from 107-108 cents/gal previously.
The higher end represents spot barge prices at the Mississippi river, and the lower end covers prices in
NYMEX front-month crude futures moved higher in Friday morning trading, reaching a high of $99.20/bbl before falling back to around $97.60/bbl at midday, still above Thursday's close of $97.28/bbl.
Methanol prices, as with many petrochemicals, tend to track crude values over the long term.

The debate is over and the grades are in. Here is how the GOP candidates performed tonight.
2. Rick Santorum: B
Under attack from all sides, Santorum couldn't rise above the fray. Ron Paul and Rick Perry succeeded in drawing him into the debate, and managed to elevate themselves in the process. He's not the Romney-alternative after this debate, he's one of several, which means there still isn't one.
4. Rick Perry: D-
Sending troops back to Iraq?!?!? That was the most memorable thing he said tonight, and he couldn't have put his foot any deeper into his mouth. He almost dropped out on Wednesday morning, and he's probably regretting that decision now.
6. Mitt Romney: A
Mitt Romney won this debate by default. He didn't have too many great lines, but he avoided getting drawn into any fights with the other candidates. He looked presidential and above the fray as the other candidates squabbled second place. It's hard to overstate how good tonight was for him.
8. Newt Gingrich: B-
He didn't attack Romney. Everyone expected him to, and he shied away from it. Debates were his strong suit, but this was his worst debate performance so far.
10. Ron Paul: B-
Paul succeeded in taking Santorum down a few notches, but his opponents branded him a liar, and he still doesn't have an answer on the racist newsletters published under his name.
12. Jon Huntsman: C
He's still in the race? Out of the headlines for a week while everyone focused on Iowa, Huntsman didn't make the case for his continued candidacy. He shied away from attacking Romney at precisely the moment he desperately needed to do so. He's already looking for the exit.

Numbers put Lamar's girls at front of pack in track and field

More Information
Lamar file
Heavy favorite: With unmatched depth, Lamar's girls are the team everyone is chasing at the District 20-5A Track and Field Championships, which conclude at 5 p.m. Friday, April 12, at Barnett Stadium.
Going the distance: Although Lamar has talented athletes in every event, the Redskins have a big edge in the longer races. Senior Lexi Reamer is expected to defend her title in the 1,600-meter run and win the 3,200. Hot on Reamer's heels are sophomore Jordan Reeves and junior Katie Black.
Holding serve: Lamar hopes to qualify several players for the Class 5A-Region III Tennis Tournament on Wednesday and Thursday, April 18-19, at Deer Park. The Redskins' top threat is the girls doubles team of juniors Emily Chen and Anjali Singal.
It will be almost impossible to slow down Lamar's girls at the District 20-5A Track and Field Championships this week.
The Redskins are the heavy favorites at the meet, which concludes with the running finals at 5 p.m. Friday, April 12, at Barnett Stadium.
"The numbers are definitely in our favor," said Lamar head coach Bob Collett. "We have two or three girls who can score points in almost every event."
But Collett said there is a distinct difference from this year's squad from previous ones.
"We don't have one dominant athlete, like in the past," Collett said.
That could complicate matters for Collett as he strategizes for the inaugural area meet pitting Districts 19-5A and 20-5A on Friday, April 19, at Tully Stadium. While four athletes advance from district, only the top three area finishers in each event will move on to the Class 5A-Region III meet later this month at Humble. Don't pity Collett, though. He still has plenty of girls to choose from.
For example, there are at least seven candidates for the 4x400-meter relay, which was clocked in 3:54 at the Rice Invitational. Among those under consideration are seniors Lauren Harris and Jasmine Heggins, sophomores Hannah Gantt, Kelsea Jackson and Tia Omagbemi and freshmen LaChandria Gaines and Brandy Thomas.
There's stiff competition for spots on the 4x100 and 4x200 relays as well. Throw juniors Karielle Parker and Tae'Shon Rogers and sophomore Mikia Edomobi into the mix with Gaines, Heggins and Omagbemi.
"I may not make a decision on the relays until race day," Collett said. Individually, Lamar has several sprinters who could be in the medal hunt, most notably Edomobi in the 100, Omagbemi and Parker in the 200 and Harris and Heggins in the 400.
Although a rookie, Thomas could surprise in the 800 and will be pushed by two of her teammates, Gantt and sophomore Kiana Echols.
Lamar should load up in the distance races. In the 1,600, senior Lexi Reamer is the defending champion, while sophomore Jordan Reeves finished second. The Redskins also could pull of a sweep in the 3,200, led by Reamer, Reeves and junior Katie Black.
"It will be difficult to beat Lexi," Collett said. "But Jordan and Katie are running well."
Jackson and junior Erica Kessee should do plenty of damage in the 100 and 300 hurdles.
As for the field events, Lamar is pinning its hopes on junior Jutta Ylitalo, a foreign exchange student from Finland. Ylitalo excelsi n the discus, high jump, long jump and pole vault, in addition to the 100 hurdles.
"It's too bad we don't have the heptathlon at district," Collett said. "Jutta would do very well."
Others to watch include sophomore Hannah Anderson and senior Phalyn Graham in the long jump, Gantt in the high jump and both sophomore Sydnee Nizamani and junior Kia Freeman in the discus and shot put.
Lamar tennis confident
Lamar hopes to send several athletes to the Class 5A-Region III Tennis Tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 16-17, at Deer Park.
"We've been pretty consistent the whole spring," said Lamar head coach Terrance Swift. "I feel good about it."
Lamar's girls are especially solid in girls doubles, led by juniors Emily Chen and Anjali Singal at No. 1. Chen and Singal were the favorites to win the District 20-5A Tennis Tournament held earlier this week at the Memorial Park Tennis Center.
"Emily and Anjali played a team from Klein that placed third at state at the Klein Classic," Swift said. "They almost won that match, which was encouraging."
The No. 2 duo is senior Catelyn Jones and senior Chandler Ayala.
The girls singles line-up includes rising sophomores Nicole Hutchison and Sophie King.
"Nicole won the consolation at the Texas City Classic and Sophie was undefeated during the fall," Swift said. "They both continue to improve."
Lamar features sophomore Francisco Galatas and senior Christopher Sharp in boys singles and the boys doubles teams of senior Creed Abell and sophomore Ian Nelson and senior Gerad Baccam and junior Reda Noureddine.
"Creed is a senior who has been on the team for four years," Swift said.
"I really want to see him make it to regionals."
In mixed doubles, Lamar has junior Austin Carver partnering sophomore Chloe Lumoski and senior Hughroy Cullen joining up with junior Kate Hood.

Good news for Smith-Green schools came with a visit from Jay Hilliard, Commander of the Gilbert-Davis American Legion Post 157 in Churubusco.
Hilliard presented a check for $250 directly to Smith-Green Community Schools. Dave Vaughn, member of the Executive Board at the Post, said, "To my knowledge, this is the first up-front donation directly to the schools."
The funds are intended to help students who may not be able to afford backpacks and school supplies.

SOUTH WHITLEY — Designated parking along Columbia Street remains an unsolved issue as the Brownstone on State owners Kim and Mike Balser and Carol's Corner owner Carol Eberly were at the South Whitley Town Council meeting Tuesday to discuss the issue. Both businesses utilize parking along the street.
The Balsers would like to see the parking be converted to angle parking, while Eberly, who is concerned about losing part of her parking lot's entrance, prefers that it remain parallel.
SOUTH WHITLEY - The discussion on the Green Parrot building, which shared a common wall with the now-demolished Hicks building, continued Tuesday as Randy and Linda Striggle attended the town council meeting.
The Striggles sold the Green Parrot to Scott Huntley a couple of years ago but are currently seeking legal counsel on how to proceed with numerous unpaid bills left behind by Huntley, who has abandoned the business, along with repairs to the south exposed wall. Due to Huntley's disappearance, the business fell back on the Striggles.
In an effort to open the lines of communication with residents of the Smith-Green Community Schools district, beyond the normal public input at school board meetings, the superintendent plans to open his door to anyone with something to say.
Steve Darnell announced this week that he will be available for walk-in discussions from 4 to 6:30 p.m. every Monday of the month until May, except March.
About 33 acres of land in northwest Columbia City is now zoned light industrial.
A local business which manufactures products for the military, aerospace and private sectors recently acquired a Pennsylvania-based company to be incorporated into the Columbia City operations.
Breyden Products announced this week that it acquired Gudebrod Inc., based in Pennsylvania.
After nearly six hours of deliberation, a jury of eight women and four men was unable to reach a verdict in the trial of a Pennsylvania man charged with 15 counts of child molesting and 51 counts of sexual misconduct with a minor.
Whitley County Circuit Court Judge James Heuer told the jury that it is uncommon to not reach a verdict, but it does occasionally occur.
"I do respect the fact that you worked your best to reach a conclusion," he said.
A Pennsylvania man charged with 15 counts of child molesting and 51 counts of sexual misconduct with a minor for alleged sexual contact with a local girl went to trial Tuesday over the 66 class A and B felonies.
The prosecution contends the case is one of exploitation of a vulnerable girl, but the man's defense attorney says the girl made up the allegations against a man she was infatuated with and upset over a custody battle.
What's underneath the ground in Whitley County?
The Indiana Geological Survey is working on finding out just what makes up the depths of the county by taking several core samples of the area.
On Tuesday, the crew was at M.C. Wheeler and Sons Inc., in northwest Whitley County, where the deepest cores yet, about 200 feet, were taken.
Five samples 200 feet deep will be taken from the northwest area of the county.

Pass 3: first three characters of surname and first three characters of first name. This pass accounts for any errors at all in the birth date (such as mistranscribed year of birth and mistakenly exchanged day of birth and month of birth).
In practice, the ordering of these passes matters. After Pass 1 is completed, all of the matching pairs above the relevant threshold score (indicating a match) are removed from the dataset and Pass 2 is performed on the remaining data. (More precisely, if a given pair exceeding threshold is composed of "name-a" and "name-b," name-a is removed from File A and name-b is removed from File B. This process is repeated for all matching pairs, and then Pass 2 is performed on the reduced File A and File B.) Pass 3 operates on a similarly reduced File A and File B, except that these reduced files do not include names found in pairs that matched on Pass 2 and Pass 1.
At the end of these multiple passes, all of the pairs exceeding the relevant threshold for one of the blocking criteria are considered matches. In general, the number of such pairs will be larger—sometimes substantially larger—than the number of pairs that would result if the matching criterion simply specified an exact match on first name, last name, middle initial, and date of birth.
Other technical approaches to blocking and string comparators can be found in Fienberg et al.28
The use of blocking and string comparators is likely to generate a number of possible matches that may well be too large to investigate comprehensively through human review. In such cases, it may be possible to use third-party data (such as telephone books, credit header records, records of property ownership, and so on, discussed further in Appendix C) to resolve many of these ambiguities without human intervention, thus improving match accuracy.
For example, consider the two records R-1 and R-2 in Box B.4. If a human judge were faced with such a possible match, he might make a manual request from the neighboring county to compare signatures, or contact the voter, or prepare a letter to send to both addresses. However, if a search of a tertiary data source such as credit header data turned up record R-3, it would provide fairly strong evidence that records R-1 and R-2 in fact refer to the same individual. Alternatively, if the search turned up record R-4, it would provide some confidence that records R-1 and R-2 did not refer to the same person.
Note that the use of tertiary data in such a manner does not depend on a pairwise comparison between two data sources. Many list comparison systems are designed to compare one input file to another. If there is a third input file to process, the first output file is then compared to the third file (i.e., again a pairwise comparison). The approach illustrated above—a simple case of entity resolution—considers the data from all sources as their union (in the logical, set-theoretical sense).29
Many of the difficulties described above can be reduced or eliminated through the use of a unique identifier (UID) for every voter, such as a driver's license number. If every voter has a single UID, records for a voter can be matched more simply.

The tunnels of Gaza: Terrorist attacks won't lead to peace
During the week of Aug. 5 alone, 1,025 trucks carrying 24,775 tons of goods entered, under the coordination of the Israeli government, the IDF, as well as Palestinian and international organizations. This isn't an exception – this is the norm. In addition, over 150,000 civilians from Gaza have been admitted in the last 18 months into Israel to receive free medical care that they cannot find in Gaza.
The Jewish Federation of San Diego County is strongly committed to a just and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians, with the ultimate goal of two states for two peoples existing side by side in peace and prosperity. It is only through dialogue that such a future can be achieved, because peace needs partners – partners who reject violence as a means of achieving their political goals, and who value life more than death. Just as the U.S. government has pledged to secure life, liberty and the chance to pursue happiness for its people, so must Israel's government be allowed to guarantee the security and freedom of its people. These illegal tunnels dug under sovereign borders used to smuggle weapons inhibit dialogue, spur violence and ultimately undermine the peace and security of the region.
Feldman is director of the Jewish Community Relations Center of the Jewish Federation of San Diego County.

To make sure you don't get stuck in a job with little chance to grow your skills make sure you ask about career development opportunities during an interview, Sean Conrad writes. "[W]ould you rather work for a company that values its people and invests in them ... or one that thinks employees should just figure it out for themselves?" he writes.

Harnessing value for transportation investment: a summary of the study: value capture for transportation finance
Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2009 - Transportation - 12 pages
Large public investments in transportation infrastructuresuch as a new freeway interchange or transit stationcan increase the value of adjacent private land, sometimes substantially. Capturing the value of this benefit through various tools is gaining interest as a finance mechanism for infrastructure investments. But many questions remain: Does value capture promote or hinder economic development. How does it affect different segments of society. Is the revenue substantial, stable, or predictable. How feasible is adoption and implementation. To answer these and other questions, the Minnesota Legislature appropriated funding to the University of Minnesotas Center for Transportation Studies in 2008 to study the public policy implications of value capture. No previous research has systematically compiled and analyzed the full gamut of policy tools that may be used for value capture. This document summarizes the findings from that study.

|7 nights
Luxurious spacious villa in a traditional style within walking distance to the centre of Carvoeiro. Stylish comfortable interior, extremely well equipped modern kitchen with American style fridge freezer, range cooker, granite worktops and breakfast room. Utility room with large bottle cooler. Separate dining room with steps down to rear garden with tiled table and built in seating. Large open-plan living room with French windows leading to terraces and large salt water pool with water slide, BBQ area, bar/games room and covered seating area for 12. Master bedroom on first floor with walk-in wardrobe and large bathroom with jacuzzi corner bath and separate shower.Two further bedrooms with en suite facilities, and 3 more bedrooms sharing 2 bathrooms.Self-contained apartment with separate living room, kitchen and terrace overlooking the pool. Facilities include flat screen TV, DVD, CD, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave. Air-con in bedrooms central heating and 2 folding beds at extra cost
The villa is situated in a quiet residential area of Carvoeiro but only a short walk to the centre with its bars, restaurants and shops, and the beach. There is a bar, restaurant and mini market very close to the villa as well as the main fruit/veg/fish/meat market. A short drive away are several beaches, two excellent 18 hole golf courses at Gramacho and Pinta (as well as the nearby 9 hole par 3 course at Vale do Milho), Carvoeiro Clube de Tenis and the tennis club at Rocha Brava. Slide and Splash water park is a 10 minute drive, and Zoomarine (aqua shows and swimming with dolphins), Algoz zoo, Pera sand sculptures and Aqualand water park are all within 20 minutes drive. A large supermarket, Intermarche, is on the outskirts of Carvoeiro. Tourist Licence AL 7093/AL.
The reality was even better (the villa was huge, very well equipped) than the description on the site, location even closer to downtown than we thought. A lot of space even for many persons, great pool, possible to spend the whole day there without even going out. Many facilities are very close by. We appreciated very much that the owner adapted to our needs. Beautiful beaches at a walking distance.
However, some parts in the house smelt humid, like the entrance hall or the cupboards in the kitchen. Also during one night, the neighbours next door came back drunk and started to make noise. And by the end of our stay there were ants in the house, especially in the kitchen.
However, the whole experience was wonderful, would recommend it to everybody and would come back myself in the same circumstances.
Enjoyed another lovely holiday in this beautiful villa - it has everything to make your holiday one to remember and is a short walk from the town. We have been several times to this villa and would not stay anywhere else. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
A large villa in an ideal situation 5 minutes walk to the town. Villa Manager very helpful. Kept clean and tidy (cleaner comes almost every day). Beach towels supplied which was helpful. Great BBQ and outdoor dining area. Pool room/ table good, but table top table tennis needs replacing. Lovely pool with slide, but pool tiles missing and needs repairing. Water in pool needs constant filling. Dining furniture rickety (promised to fix). If all aircon on at same time, the electrics trip and you need to go and reset all the time at the fuse box. Old big box TV's! No WIFI which is strange in this day and age, only a dongle! For this money you would expect more modern equipment. Wardrobe door just fell off without even touching it (they fixed this immediately though), shower head needing fixing (again done quickly).
Overall, the position is ideal being a short walk to town and the restaurants and bars. The outdoor area is good, but it in general everything needs a bit of renovation. Also beware that items got deducted from the deposit even though the issues were nothing to do with us! Not much but enough to be very frustrating/annoying.
Did we enjoy it? Yes
Modern? No, more traditional old style villa, but needs renovation.
Car Parking? Plentiful
Clean? Very
Not overlooked.
Service? Good people available and problems dealt with promptly
Would I recommend it? Not sure, depends on your expectation for the money.
I guess you could get more modern accomodation with better facilities outside of town for similar or better pricing, but you have to balance that with the ease to go out in the evening and have shops an amenities on your doorstep.
Carvoeiro has plent yof choice for restaurants, bars etc. It is iease to get to all the Algarve atttractions. Plenty of golf course within 30 mins drive.
A comfortable home-from-home, with everything you could wish for and more. Impeccably clean on arrival, wonderful pool and games room, lovely bbq area and walkable into town for the beach, bars and restaurants. Couldn't recommend highly enough and will definately be back.
I stayed in the villa with 5 of my friends for a week in April, although this is not the busiest time of year, entertaining ourselves was not difficult. The swimming pool, the table tennis table, the pool table and the whole outside area plus the televisions, dvd players, cd players etc and the town which was a mere 5 minute walk all provided a brilliant setting for a fantastic girls getaway. The house is fantastic well looked after and the maid service was flawless. there was nothing lacking during our stay everyone was comfortable and the house accommodated us well. The owner provided everything we needed and was more than willing to answer any queries we had. i would definitely recommend this property without a doubt, we all agreed this was the best holiday we have ever been on. There were various different restaurants down town accommodating all our needs, varying in price but always we always checked the menu's before entered. the beaches were great, 'Carvoeiro' beach being a short 5 minute walk, 'Centianes' being more of a car journey although we did walk it.
I have honestly never had a better holiday experience and could not recommend the house or the location enough.
A beautiful villa in a perfect location - there is everything here for a brilliant holiday and it would be quite easy to spend all day by the pool and BBQ at night and never leave the villa at all! Well equipped and maintained, this villa would be extremely hard to beat.
The villa is situated a short walk from the centre of Carvoeiro, a delightful fishing village nestling around a beautiful bay with its golden sandy beach. Water sports available in summer months. There is also a diving school at Paraiso, a 5 minute drive away. Carvoeiro offers a wide choice of restaurants, shops and bars. Nearby towns are Portimao and Albufeira and Guia with its state of the art shopping centre. There are waterslide parks nearby at Lagoa and Porches. Golf courses are plentiful in the area, 3 of which are 5 minutes drive from the villa. The historic town of Silves is a short drive away. The beautiful beaches of Centianes, Paraiso and Alfanzina are all within walking distance.
Golf: The Algarve has long been a magnet for discerning golfers with its spectacular scenery and fabulous coastline. The golfing season runs from late Autumn to late Spring and you can enjoy warm sunny days in the Algarve's mild winter. There are 29 beautiful courses on the Algarve, and 9 of them are within a 15 minute drive from Casa Sacada: the Penina Resort course, Penina Championship course, Morgado, Alamos, Alto Golf, Pestana Pinta, Pestana Gramacho, Vale do Milho and Salgados.

Elisabeth Explodes

Like us on Facebook
This morning on The View Elisabeth Hasselbeck went nuts when discussing the 72 hour pill. Check out the clip to see how passionate she is and how Barbara had to try to calm her down.
What they don't show is after the commercial break Elisabeth ends up in Barbara's lap hugging it out, and they're making nice with each other. Barbara said she likes Elisabeth being so passionate but you know Ms Hasselbeck had to play nice since everyone on The View these days seems to be dropping like flies. Besides, no one talking about this clip has yet to address Babs and her new hair do....
UPDATE - here's the part where they kiss and make-up

Elisabeth has been ranting all this week. It is great to be passionate,but geesh!! I am not for abortion I can't say that in a case of rape what I would do, so who I am to judge and EH doesn't know what she would do either, until we are faced with that kind of crisis who are we to judge the women who take the pill?

i think that people should be allowed to express their opinions without personal rancour. i would never have an abortion. my personal belief. however, anyone who did would be well within their rights to do so. i believe in God, others dont, I like broccoli, others dont, who's business is it but mine? but i would never take that pill. id give the baby up for adoption to an attractive family who dressed well and were respectaby shallow.

Trixie - Its a problem that I think is all over the place these days. No longer do people just disagree, but everybody is so quick to label others as evil or stupid or whatever. It seems to me that most people probably have good intentions. Simply because somebody has a different perspective than you, and therefore a different answer to the same problem, doesn't make them evil or stupid. That said, Elizabeth got way too excited in this clip. And Bab's a b*tch - as if they all listen to each others opinions!?
pinkangelmonkey 8 years
i dont like bab's she is a puppeteer. see what happens when someone tries to give an opinion and bab's thinks it is too controversial. its about time elizabeth got passionate about something and i wanted to hear what she had to say...so she turns into santa claus and has the wittle elizabeth sit on her lap to make amends. weird!

ATTENTION: What did Barbara say after Elizabeth responded with " I heard everything you said, I'm just imphatic(sp?)with?" It sounded like Barbara said "I really started" That can't be right because I didn't sound like something the audience would laugh at and it doesn't make sense in that conversation. It made the whole audience laugh but I can't understand what Barbara said for them to laugh like that. Hope someone can help so late?

There's nothing wrong with this generation or children or teenagers right now...it's the world it's messed up! You have people telling other people what to do, for example, you have anti-abortion and pro-lifers NOT minding their own business and involving themselves in the LIFE CHOICES of other women...this is a democracy, that's not how it works people. Women have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies, and this "choice" has nothing to do with their lifestyle, their ethnicity, or their socio-economic class. The problem is with EDUCATION - we don't educate our children appropriately about sex because parents belief systems intrude on that or whatever it is...not being comfortable even talking about sex either with their children. Don't you see the irony? Our society and media is obsessed over sex and violence, yon WAR...so I can't see how anyone can be anti-abortion or pro-liet parents cannot even address the issues of sex, pregnancy, STDs, HIV,etc with their OWN CHILDREN?!! We're a puritancial, full of B.S. society, we need to get over our own insecurities and realize that education is VERY important. And the government does not reflect this AT ALL, we spend ZERO money on education and BILLIONS of dollars on WAR. All this hoopla over abortion and we're not even aware of the fact that WAR is killing more HUMANS (who are actually living and not a bunch of embryonic cells) then "unborn children" (who have no awareness of being alive). If you're not ready to have a kid, you're just not, and at least we have the right to choose this option, and those who do not should not take that right away...just because you wouldn't do it, doesn't mean you have to FORCE others to do what you think is right. That's called facism...and I'd prefer not to go down that path, even though we're pretty close to it right now.
My-Opinion 8 years
hmmmm...well to each his own........I could say a whole lot here but my opinion really won't make a difference..

Elisabeth is unbearable, worse than Star Jones IMO. She is not capable of having a rational discussion like many people with the same backwards views. I guess to her people that masturbate are also comitting millions of abortions each day, after all, those are also seeds that are being prevented from reaching the ovary lol.

well at least they had their babies and gave them a chance at life. I knew many girls from HS that HAD babies at 15-17 also. I also have 3 baby cousins who were adopted and its so nice to see their parents so happy now b/c they tried so hard and waited so long for these beautiful children.

I agree there is something going on with the current generation, and I think it is a lack of parental supervision and morals...anything goes...and so it does...
SailorMarie 8 years
I agree this is a slipperly slope, much like legalizing gay marriage...once you go down that road...people will be "disposing" of babies all over the place...and when does it stop??? I do agree in SEVERE circumstances it is necessary...but should absolutely not be readily available...

Weighty Matters InfoWeighty Matters used to be just a chronicle of my weight loss efforts, which was extremely frustrating because I couldn't maintain it--both the blog and the weight loss thing. So instead, I have transformed my thinking (and this blog) so that it will not only deal with weight loss but also with all important health issues that we face. This is now my journal not just to lose weight but to keep it and to maintain good health. Hence, the name of this blog still applies. After all, all health issues are weighty matters.

The Carriage House is an executive-style apartment for those who want to settle in and feel like they are living in Austin! Fully and stylishly furnished with everything you need, from olive oil to an umbrella. LR, Dining area, Full kitchen, Bedroom and Bath. Private washer/dry, deck, and 1 off-street parking spot. Backyard grill & lounge areas, 6.5' deep pool and 8-person bubbling spa. Bike & Golf Club storage in garage available. Can be booked with or without daily breakfast and maid service. Be alone here or join our ever-interesting group of B&B guests. Questions about what to visit or where to eat? We're on-site and available for you. Let us help make your trip to Austin any and everything you'd hoped! (Please note, this is not the rental of the Main House, this is our Carriage House, a one-bedroom apartment on the property.)
We are innkeepers and owners of the Gateway Guesthouse; a chef and an interior designer. Leo, Louie and Lazos, our dogs, are here to welcome you as well!
Innkeeper purchased this cottage in 2010
Austin rocks!
Breakfast by a chef featured on the Food Network! Walk to everything yet feel relaxed here at the property!
Bess and Blaise are terrific hosts, and the carriage house is clean, comfortable, and convenient. You can't beat the location (easy access to all of South Austin, to Town Lake, to downtown, to I-35, to great food, etc.). The pool is a nice bonus, and Chef Bess' cooking alone is worth the stay (you gotta have the flappers!). I second the previous comment about the TV and the DirectTV menu, but I didn't watch much TV while I was there so it wasn't a huge problem. Overall, a great and very special place to stay while you're in Austin! I would certainly stay here again.
My now-husband and I stayed in the Carriage House for nearly a week after our wedding – a trip that we called our "mini-moon" as we hope to take our big European honeymoon sometime next year. This place was perfectly suited for our getaway from Boston to Austin. The Carriage House is new, clean, and well-stocked (e.g., basic cookware and utensils, laundry and cleaning supplies). The latter part probably sounds weird (who cooks and cleans on their mini-moon? – apparently, we do).
Not that we did all our own cooking. Wanting to take advantage of the difference in March temperatures between home and Austin, we arranged for a wonderful outdoor meal prepared by Bess. She's such an amazing, attentive chef; and Blaise is an excellent sous chef!
We also took full advantage of the location and walked to South Congress as well as took the bus into Downtown almost daily. While I can see that people who may want to travel to Barton Springs or other Austin or outside Austin destinations may choose to instead rent a car, we decided to use public transportation (much like we do at home) and the bus conveniently stops directly in front of the main house.
Bess and Blaise were generous with their time and available to answer questions about transportation, what sights to see, etc.
We would absolutely go back and stay at the Carriage House or one of the three beautifully decorated rooms at the Gateway Guesthouse.
The ladies who run this place were fantastic, very welcoming and prepared to go above and beyond to make our stay great. The place itself is excellent, very private, brand new and well-equipped. The couple of very small complaints we had were taken on board and acted on. Someone has a garage full of tools and equipment underneath the apartment which created a bit of annoying noise occasionally but was generally fine. Location is excellent, very close to downtown and great proximity to I35. Couple of things to be wary of are the lack of full separation between lounge/kitchen area and the bedroom, making late night TV watching when your partner wants to sleep a bit tricky. Also the TV is altogether too small for it's placement and the Direct TV menu set up was the most user-unfriendly thing I've seen in the cable world for some time, but you really have to blame Direct TV for that! Generally an excellent stay - we got it at a good price due to it being discounted when we were there which helped.
The carriage house is new and the location is close to everything Austin. Owners are very sweet (home made bread if you are very nice) and took great care of us. A very nice stay.
Location, Location, Location. Do you want to be walking/bicycling distance from both downtown And South Congress. Do you want to be on the river And on every major bus line, including only a 5-minute bus ride to Zilker Park & Barton Springs? Do you also want to be a bike ride or briefest drive from the emerging and ultimately creative East Side? And would you like all this on a main thoroughfare that is a breeze to and from the airport but also feels like it's miles away from everything? We are located at the intersections of SOCO/Travis Heights, Downtown and the East Side.

He's not degrading what they've accomplished, he's putting it in context for 95% of readers who don't know the levels of rowing. If I said Michigan basketball won 2 championships in 3 years and you ask "national championships?" and I respond, "No, conference championships." that just puts in context what you're talking about in terms of competition etc.
And when someone throws out UCLA basketball and tries to compare it to winning club championships, well then that definitely deserves some clarification.

In fact those teams would probably rather NOT be in Europa just to not have to worry about another set of games (and it'd be better for the EPL's coefficient if a team like Southhampton were in it who would take it seriously, the league is gonna lose its fourth spot for the Champions League in a couple years).

I specifically said ND "for the most part," and Indiana basketball (i.e. the sport with the round ball, not the oblong one).
And I said that Nike did NOT touch PSU and Bama. That's the WHOLE POINT. If you tell Nike to leave it alone, they will. But if you give them free reign, then you get Oregon unis and everything else.

|It's not the brand, it's the school
What should be obvious by now is that it doesn't matter the brand, the school ultimately tells the brand whether they want to do dumb unis or stick with the classic. If you want dumb, Nike will do Oregon, Virginia Tech, MSU, etc., and Adidas will do Michigan, UCLA, Louisville. If you want to tell them to keep it classic, Nike will do Alabama, Penn State, etc. and Adidas will do ND (for the most part) and Wisconsin, Indiana (basketball), etc.
Those stupid Michigan outfits are on Brandon/the AD, as much as Adidas.

This idea that you stretch out someone's per minute production over a full game is skewed because no one plays 40 minutes. It would be much more meaningful to extrapolate over like 33-35 minutes, which even the most high-usage guys don't surpass.

|I've made this point before
but I don't know exactly why everyone thinks it's so obvious that football shouldn't do something to limit how quickly a team can run a play, as if that's antithetical to the game.
Think about inbounding a basketball, or serving in tennis, or pitching a baseball, or taking a free kick in soccer. In most sports there's a moment where the ref/ump gives the OK before allowing play, and that OK is largely based on whether the other team is "ready" so to speak.
Of course you could say "well the other team should be ready at all times." That's one approach to a game. A different approach is to say "both sides should be given the opportunity to line up with the best strategic move they can come up with and we'll let the one who does that better win that play."
It's not uncommon in almost every other sport, yet people think it's some communist proposal as a way to play football.

He's a guy who tried to do something most people didn't agree with about Michigan as a sports team. Minor ridicule, fine, but to hope someone never has a job, to wish him ill forever and ever...
He didn't shout gay epithets, he didn't chant a song about hanging blacks, he didn't sexually assault anyone. He didn't reinsert a brain-damaged football player into a game where people violently attack each other, or violate simple conditions as a result of driving drunk potentially endangering people's lives, but Glasgow gets a "man, i hope he learns from this and matures and can come back and help the team" and "at least it happened before the football season."

Oregon has TWO bills being discussed to drop DST (one implements it immediately, the other phases in).
Of course none of these bills in any state will go any where, no one really wants to trade whatever small benefit one might get from dropping DST for the pain of being the outlier of all of your surrounding states given how interstate life and economy are.

So you threw out the guys that didn't fit the narrative, then chose one guy who took an enormous leap, and one guy who (yes he improved but) really didn't actually take the huge leap in his sophomore year that most people expected of a borderline 5 star?
That's not exactly a well-supported argument.
|12 weeks 2 days ago
|Right, that's the real argument
The OP is setting up a false dichotomy. The actual coaching instruction in question is "when up 3, foul before the guy is shooting a 3."
Now of course you can still suffer a tie even if you do it correctly if the guy makes one FT, misses the second and they get a put back.
But it's a pretty stupid comment to say "look at these guys who failed to follow the instruction, what a flawed instruction."

The Avengers
Just came back from seeing the Avengers in 3d. I have to say Joss Whedon hit it out of the park. What makes him so good as a writer and director is his dialogue and pacing. He understands timing so well, always getting the maximum from each scene. His dialog establishes the characters and makes you care about them and he respects the source material delivering to the fans what they want. The best super hero movie to date.

Loved it! Best comic book movie yet. Dark Knight is better, but that's less of a comic booky movie to me.
May 6th, 2012 #7
Avengers is like a different genre entirely, over-the-top superhero comic book fun. And it was entertaining in that respect, I think mostly because it didn't take itself too seriously. Being tongue-in-cheek and willing to poke fun at itself was why Thor was a more entertaining movie than Captain America for example. Though Iron Man was the best of the origin movies.
I agree w/ Dpaint that Whedon was the right dude to helm this thing. He knows what notes to hit and when, and also how to handle multiple lead characters. I'm surprised he wasn't being offered Avengers type gigs after Serenity.

It is corny. Its just well made corny. Joss Whedon took what he had to work with and made a great movie with it. Its not Schindler's List. Comic book movies are inherently silly by their very nature, including Dark Knight. If you aren't down with that save your money 'cause its never going to be anything else.

Ha that WAS a tonne of fun!
If I was 12 this would instantly have become my favourite movie ever.
PLus a cameo from an old favourite.
I was impressed how they got so many people on screen and didnt leave anyone out (except padme)
I might go see it again less drunk and with my glasses to I can understand what the hells going on.
Can we have a spoiler-warning thread to talk about the movie without giving anything away to people who aint seen it yet?

As much as it would be easy to say Wesley Crusher, I just can't bring myself to hate Beverly and Jean-Luc's lovechild...
So instead, I think I'd have to go with McCoy. His anti-Vulcan racism always bugged me
Next on my list would be Gowron. Never liked his crazy bug-eyed stares, and enjoyed the bit where Worf killed him...
Totally agree with the OP about T'Pol... Totally flat (
) character straight out of Brannon Braga's w@nk bank... Totally expoitative use of a woman (can't bring myself to call Jolene an actress, but she deserved better treatment than she got...)
Got to disagree about Worf though... He was a
multifaceted character: A Klingon raised by Humans, so tried to over-compensate and be the UberKlingon. He was always my favorite TNG character, but I don't think he really came into his own till DS-9... Totally agree about that character type being over-used now *cough*Teal'C*cough* To go theoretical for a moment, I would love to see Worf get into a fist-fight with Tyr Anasazi... That would be interesting... I'd also like to see Worf interact with Richard Sharpe, I think they'd actually make a pretty solid bromance of mutual respect for each other as warriors.
[Edit to add]
the way Seven of Nine was de-assimilated. I understand that Jeri Ryan was hired to boost ratings, and as Bridge Bunnies go, the first scene in which she's seen in the silver bodysuit... Wow... Pon Farr night in the Vulcan Nightclub... But as a character, they really should've kept her as Full Borg...
