State budget may close some parks permanently
Officials say and activists say such hard cuts are unavoidable
"We understand this governor is moving to find a solution to an unprecedented budget problem. There should be no misconceptions. All the easy options are gone," said Roy Stearns, a spokesman for state parks.
Voters rejected one option in November — an $18 per car surcharge on vehicle registrations that would have collected about $500 million a year, most of which would go to parks. In return, motorists would be granted free parking at park sites.
In previous years, Republicans have blocked efforts to pay for parks by raising taxes on oil extraction. Schwarzenegger also failed in an attempt allow new drilling off the coast of Santa Barbara and use that lease revenue to fund parks — a move one parks supporter in the Senate called "blackmail."
Charging school groups admission was another idea floated, but quickly withdrawn following protests.
Shutting parks involves more than just closed signs. State officials are looking at more than visitation and revenue. They're taking into account historic and cultural values, and the need to protect natural resources. Concession contracts, school use, and geography are factors. Other issues include public safety at beaches should lifeguards be cut and the risk of vandalism at closed parks with minimal caretaker patrols.
"We're going to get damage," said Martinez, the San Diego ranger. "It will be expensive to reopen parks."
Fee increases also may be in the mix, but are not the first option given attendance falls every time parking and camping charges go up.
"We're at risk of pricing people out of their parks," Stearns said.
Since 2006-2007, parks has steadily absorbed cuts. In 2006-2007 its operating budget stood at $175.4 million — $61 million more than today's level of $114.1.
The administration's proposal will be folded into the overall state budget now being debated in the Legislature.
"We love parks, but we're going to have a sustainable budget this year," said Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, who sits on a parks budget oversight committee.
Assemblyman Brian Jones, R-Santee, who sits on a separate budget subcommittee with oversight of parks, said the state should be more aggressive in seeking out partners, from concessionaires to nonprofit groups.
"We have some opportunities here to hopefully keep all, if not all of the parks open," said Jones, who served on parks committees as a Santee city councilman.
Longtime San Diego parks advocate Rick Vogel said he's hopeful that the state can secure private partners to keep losses at a minimum.
"Parks may be on life-support, but when push comes to shove a lot of people will do what needs to be done," said Vogel, a member of the Torrey-Pines Docent Society.
But, despite concentrated campaigns, few companies or nonprofits have stepped up with large-scale plans to rescue parks, leaving state officials to suspect that volunteers and private contributions will not be sufficient to keep the gates unlocked.

Hi everyone! I am busy planning our first trip to DL....and have run across a few problems.
We were planning on staying at the Hyatt in Orange County...but, they don't have laundry facilities, or even bundle service. Since our vacation will be a road trip over 12 days....packing light and doing laundry is a must. So, we're looking at a couple other hotels in the area...
I have seen good things about the Annabella Hotel in Anaheim....has anyone stayed there? How was it?
And I also found the Anaheim Plaza Hotel. The pictures look a little iffy....that's why I'm coming to you.
Any other recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

I was replacing a range oven hood, so I pulled the oven away from the wall but left it plugged in. I removed the old oven hood, which had an exhaust pipe that was still mounted through the cupboard. While I was preparing the new oven hood the exhaust pipe fell out of the cupboard and cut the oven wire in half. I was able to find the part number on the existing cord and looked up on line. I ordered the part using 3-5 business days and it showed up in 2 days. I was able to attach the new cord, which had an easy clip plug, and secure back to the stove. Very easy and very inexpensive to do.

BJP is leading in six seats while secular alliance comprising RJD, JD(U) and Congress is ahead in 4 seats of the total 10 Assembly seats where bypoll was held on August 21.
According to trends made available by the Election Office at 9 AM, an hour after counting began, BJP is leading at Narkatiaganj, Rajnagar (SC), Jale, Hajipur, Banka and Mohania (SC). RJD is ahead at Chapra and Mohiuddinagar, the EC office statement said.
JD(U) and Congress are leading at Parbatta and Bhagalpur respectively, it said. The outcome of the bypoll is being considered as a "semi-final" before the crucial state poll next year as it will prove whether regrouping of "Mandal forces" against BJP has paid or not.
For BJP the challenge is to maintain its winning streak it had registered in the state in the general election.
Of the 10 seats that went to bypoll, BJP had 6 seats in the 2010 Assembly election while RJD had 3 and JD(U) 1.

Roasted Baby Beets
pounds trimmed red and/or yellow baby beets or small beets (about 3-1/2 pounds untrimmed with tops)
tablespoons olive oil
teaspoon salt
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
large orange
tablespoons white wine vinegar
tablespoons thinly sliced shallot
teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. If using small beets, cut them into 1- to 1-1/2-inch wedges. Place beets in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Cover with foil and roast for 25 minutes. Uncover and roast about 15 minutes more or until beets are tender; cool. If using small beets, peel the beets. (Baby beets do not need to be peeled.)
- Meanwhile, using a small sharp knife or citrus tool, remove long shreds of peel from the orange, taking care not to remove the white pith; measure 2 tablespoons peel. Squeeze juice from orange; measure 1/3 cup juice.
- In a glass dish, whisk together the 1/3 cup orange juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, shallot, and Dijon mustard. Add beets and orange peel; toss gently to combine. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. Makes 8 servings.

So it's been a while…
Since Warlords of Draenor's release, and the launching of the first raid Highmaul, we've been very busy! Highmaul normal has been cleared and is now being ignored, Highmaul Heroic is 6/7 complete with most bosses on farm. Grr you Imperator! With most guild members now settled into the raiding routine of Devotion we are excited to have started exploring Blackrock Foundry, released just over a week ago.
We've had some success in BRF so far, with 2 bosses down (Gruul and Beastmaster Darmac) and 1 very close to
crushing us every time being defeated!
Over the next few weeks, we hope to continue progressing in BRF and finally getting Ahead of the Curve: Imperator's Fall.
Thank you to all of our raiders, for your great attendance and contribution to raids up until this point. Go(ren) team!
We are recruiting!
We are in need of melee and ranged dps – most notably Monks, Enh Shammies, Boomkins, and Shadow Priests. Please apply within if you feel that you would fit the Devotion team
That's right all, we now know for definite that patch 6.0 is hitting on Wednesday the 15th of October!
This signals the 1 month before release, our final drive for recruitment and time to get settled as a team. We will have the item squish and skills change, as well as a level 90 UBRS dropping ilvl 650 gear. So lets get together, farm those Orcs, get used to the new play styles and kick some butt!
So, Up until the release of Warlords I shall be livestreaming my Beta playtesting on our normal raid nights. Hopefully this will give me a nice amount of information to be able to help the guild come launch. I am also doing Q & A and showing off whatever features you would like to see. So any requests, let me know and I will show you.
You can find my streams at http://twitch.tv/DevArthran So do me a favour and click follow on there, that way you'll be alerted of when I go live!
Currently streaming Tuesday evening, Thursday evening and Sunday evening!
I will be at Insomnia 52 Gaming festival this weekend! Hopefully getting you some good developer interviews, Interesting game/tech footage and I will of course be Vlogging the whole weekend. Keep an eye out for me and I'll give you updates as we go!
That's right, we now know exactly when Warlords will hit: November the 13th!
This gives us just under 2 months to complete everything we want in Pandaria before 6.0, which is likely to hit mid October. I'r like to get recruitment finished off in that time, and get some raids going. Not that we'll need the loot, more to give the team some time to settle in and get to know each other. What better way than by trial by fire?
As always, anyone know anyone who would suit our team, let me know. And if anyone wants to volunteer for any specific office jobs, also let me know!

Gear Review
Luv this pack!
I got this pack for travel. It carries my laptop with easy in/out access at airport security. It fits nicely under any plane seat(unless stuffed to the max). It carries weight very comfortably, though I would prefer a hip belt for those times when I overpack:). And.. it looks fabulous!!!
I looked at a lot of different options, and am very happy with my choice of this pack.

"While the results have been astonishing in many ways, it's also been disappointing to see patients regress after such a great response," said Sosman, who is also a professor of medicine at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Tenn.
But the success rate for the new drug makes it the first hope in a long series of therapies that target mutated genes.
"It's one of many. When it comes to melanoma we believe there are many (gene) targets that we need to turn off. The other targets that we are looking at are the MEK pathway AKT pathway," said Pavlik, who is running one of the sites for the phase III clinical trial of the drug.
"As we learn to target these mutations we may need to target more than one to get complete success. This is clearly the right step in the right direction," she said.

Student protests against the Vietnam War in the summer of 1969 inspired Nelson to organize an environmental "teach-in" for the spring of 1970. All Americans were welcome to participate, and public response to Nelson's plan was massive. Outrage over the government's perceived indifference toward the environment rivaled the anger many felt about the war. The first Earth Day was held April 22, 1970, to bring attention to the environment and raise awareness about the contributions people make toward its destruction.
Green ManufacturingThe principles of conservation and sustainability espoused by Senator Nelson's Earth Day have transcended their activist roots to become part of the numerous clean air and water policies enacted by various presidents over the years. Some industries have embraced the challenge of eco-friendly manufacturing. For example, the pet industry now sells organic catnip, biodegradable waste bags and toys made from recycled bottles, while several automotive, aerospace and electronic factories now use energy-efficient fiber laser technology to cut sheet metal.
Other industries require guidance on the best way to "go green." Several organizations and companies have organized annual conferences on the latest green technology and practices to educate manufacturers about the importance of becoming stewards of the environment. From these seminars, as well information from industry groups, publications and consultants, a multitude of corporations have managed to develop new programs and procedures to clean up their manufacturing processes.
According to Greenbiz.com's State of Green Business 2009 report, many industries have chosen water efficiency as the focus of their respective green business policies. Beverage companies typically use water in large amounts, but other companies have begun to use it as a clean and readily available resource. The resultant scarcity of water (due, in part, to uneven global distribution) has prompted companies like Anheuser-Busch and Coca-Cola to institute "water neutrality" programs. Both companies have managed to reduce the amount of water used to make their products, and Coke has adapted the mantra "reduce, recycle and replenish" by returning all of the water used in its operations back to the environment. GE has taken a similar approach, vowing to cut freshwater use 20% by reusing it. IBM has even opened a water management research center in the Netherlands to help reduce its use of water as part of its Big Green Innovations program.
Studies released in 2008 revealed alarming levels of toxic chemicals in everyday products: lead in makeup and children's toys, mercury in medicine, and melamine in baby formula. Out of these revelations came "green chemistry," a field that was supported by a law California enacted to give its Department of Toxic Substances Control the power to deal with chemicals of concern directly rather than on a substance-by-substance basis.1 As a result, some companies have set up their own systems of "green chemistry" to reduce the amount of harmful chemicals in their products.
SC Johnson instituted a protocol called Greenlist in which toxic chemicals are gradually being replaced by safer ones. In doing so, the company has removed more than 61 million pounds of harmful toxins from its products, winning the company a Presidential Green Chemistry Award in June 2006.2 Seventh Generation, a SC Johnson competitor, has made a downloadable label-reading guide available to its consumers in an effort to help them understand the ingredients and chemicals in the company's products and what impact those ingredients have on the environment and human health.
What Green Means for YouCurtailing waste production is a pressing environmental concern that continues to face the ceramic and related industries. Chemicals such as CO, CO2 and NOX are emitted in large amounts, and their reduction has proven to be one of the toughest problems for manufacturers to solve. Some of the steps that are being taken to reduce these emissions include installing efficient pollution control equipment, reducing scrap and energy consumption, and removing unneeded steps in the manufacturing process.
With these measures comes the need to reduce the time and temperature at which pieces are fired. Kiln efficiency and material improvements can be made through updated insulation, for example, which can help reduce heat loss and increase the life of a kiln. It can also be beneficial to improve the kilns themselves by keeping up with maintenance and potentially upgrading burners, elements, controls, etc.
Increasing kiln capacity also allows manufacturers to produce more pieces, thus reducing time and saving energy. Though these techniques and practices are sometimes expensive to implement, it is important to remember that energy costs will be cut over time. Manufacturing changes can improve production and energy consumption while lessening the impact on the environment.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) might increase the percentage of water cut by 5 or even 10% more, since the lake level has not increased much, despite rains in the city in the last few days, a senior civic official informed. A review meeting on this will be held two days later, based on which a final decision will be taken. Since the civic body has completely scrapped the option of desalinating sea water, cloud seeding or the idea to provide water through bore wells to meet the water shortage in the city, increasing the percentage of water cut is the only option left for the officials.
The civic body had contemplated desalinating sea water in 2009, when it faced a water shortage and had to implement a water cut of up to 30%. "However, the process is very expensive, so it is not feasible for the BMC," said additional municipal commissioner Rajiv Jalota, while speaking to media persons on Tuesday.
Asked why BMC couldn't desalinate water the way Chennai does, Jalota said, "The quantity of water that comes through desalination of sea water in Chennai is less than that compared to Mumbai. Here, BMC provides 3,750 million litres of water per day, so desalination will not be feasible currently as it would barely yield any water."
However, he added that the BMC will give permission to private societies for constructing bore wells in their premises. "We can give permissions to private societies if they approach us to seek permissions for bore wells," he said.
The city had faced a maximum water cut of 40% in 1993, when there was a severe water crisis in the city.

This paper addresses the problem of estimating a density, with either a compact support or a support bounded at only one end, exploiting a general and natural form of a finite mixture of distributions. Due to the importance of the concept of multimodality in the mixture framework, unimodal beta and gamma densities are used as mixture components, leading to a flexible modeling approach. Accordingly, a mode-based parameterization of the components is provided. A partitional clustering method, named \(k\) -bumps, is also proposed; it is used as an ad hoc initialization strategy in the EM algorithm to obtain the maximum likelihood estimation of the mixture parameters. The performance of the \(k\) -bumps algorithm as an initialization tool, in comparison to other common initialization strategies, is evaluated through some simulation experiments. Finally, two real applications are presented.

A bad game that could do well in a remake, Ephemeral Fantasia
I remember when I first saw this game. It was in the Summer 2002. During that time in my life, I had an allowance of $6. In the summer, I would always $5 a week on renting games at Blockbuster or buying dreamcast games (and at the time, I had nothing better to do). After completing Luigi's Mansion for the Gamecube, I went to Blockbuster to return the game and pick up a new game. I was looking at the Gamecube section trying to find some games that appealed to me (while 2001 for the gamecube did have "good games", at the age of 13, I tried to avoid playing "kiddie games." ) I went over to look at the PS2 section and the box art really popped out to me. At the time, I was really into anime so this game came really seemed like a soild choice. I was really excited to play this game however, I had to go to my friend's house to have dinner with his Mom, his Mom's boyfriend, and my own Mom. My friend wasn't even there for company so I just had a boring time listening to boring adult conversation.
When I did get home to play this game, I was really excited. It was probably around 7:50 to 8:10 PM, it was near sun down. It left the real world with so much color, setting a nice mood for this game. I hit the switch on the back of the PS2, press the eject button, take out my copy on Final Fantasy 9, place this new wonderful PS2 game into the tray, and press the reset button. This was the beginning a horrible tragic.
Once I started a new game, it had you on this scene on a boat sailing to an Island. It is then and there that explains that you are a musician playing for the royal wedding on the island. While some people might be pissed off of the Dreamcast like graphics, I wasn't. I still had my Dreamcast hooked up with RPGs such as Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Evolution one and Evolution two. So graphics weren't a big deal for me. In fact, this game was suppose to be released for the Dreamcast, but never was.
Once I saw my first loading screen for the game, I knew playing this game would take a long time play. Seeing these load times were frequent. At least Rummy was still hot (from the prespective of a 13 year old), so I knew more chicks like that would appear. After being taken to the Inn, you learn you are actually a thief to steal from the riches of the Island. And from there you progress over a period of 5 days in game time to meet with your cast of players for the game. All which include important details you will not remember. Eventually the wedding ceremony begins and everything turns into chaos after finishing the concert. It is here that game turns ugly. You are warped 5 days back in time from where you begin. The game is set up into the this eternal loop, much like Majora's Mask. The game requires you to remember a lot of details about the game such as the maps, character locations and things of that sort. All the tasks you were given needed to be done within a certain period of time. If you missed your chance, you had to wait till the 5 days looped again. If any one told you that Bully made a slave to the clock, they have yet to play this game. Unlike other time focused games such as Majora's Mask, The Prince of Persia series and Braid, there is no time control. This really keeps the pacing of the game to be really slow, leaving you with only time for things such as grinding. In addition, the game is set up in a way very different from the beggining and looping parts of the game. The beginning of the game pushed you forward in a linear fashion but once time starts looping, it placed you in a non-linear setting which became really overwhelming. As I said before, you will not remember the details from the beginning of the game. This is thanks to the linear design that was set up. Games in that set up allowed details to be overlooked. At some point, I stopped playing this game because it looped three times in the game trying to navigate a stupid forest.
This game really does have a lot of potential. In fact, it really comes to a love or hate thing for this game. There are people who really think it was, in some ways, better than Final Fantasy. Despite the horrible reviews it has received, this game could be called a "cult classic", divided by that love or hate scenario. It has some interesting ideas such as a Guitar Hero like mini game or the time looping.
Here are some things they can do to make this a good remake.
1. Time Control
Every good game that forces the player to be dedicated to the clock always has a way to control it somehow. This game features none of that. Most people don't have the abilty to work around this weakness.
2. Some more Guitar Music.
This game looks nearly identical to Guitar Hero minus a few things. It had 6 songs you could play and they were very frustrating to learn.
3) A notebook- In games like Shenmue, they usually had a notebook to track down information and what not. Because details would be overlooked in the beggining, all that information is forgotten. A notebook is needed to track down that information.
4) A map- so players don't waste their time exploring if they want to play the game in a more linear fashion.
5) Shorter Loadt Times- Enough said.
6) New Battle System- By todays standard, it would be probably be dated. It was okay during that time period but it certainly couldn't hurt to make a bettter one for a remake.

We ate at Fujiyama for dinner. When reading the food description I was not aware that the food would be drenched in a gingery / teriyaki sauce. Due to a medical condition, I was not able to eat my meal. I told the server immediately that the menu did not describe the heavy sauce so I asked if I could get a sauce less meal. She took the plate back and brought me a new meal in record time. I was very pleased that they understood the issue and made an effort to prepare me a meal that I would be able to eat. Other than that, the mushroom soup was good, the salad is very plain...lettuce, one cucumber, and a few shreads of carrot. They have a bar with a variety of specialty drinks and the service was good.

Acquisitions: Roadside Attractions Takes 'Biutiful'; Magnolia Grabs Andrew Jarecki's 'All Good Things'
Posted on Wednesday, August 25th, 2010 by Russ Fischer
Two weeks ago there was word that the small company Roadside Attractions would be the outfit to distribute Alejandro González Iñárritu's Biutiful in the US. Now there is confirmation that the company has bought rights to the film and will bring it to US theaters in December. How many theaters? Good question. Can we get back to you on that? But Javier Bardem won the Best Actor award for the film at Cannes, so there's a reasonable chance that the film will score a little extra award season attention for Roadside Attractions. [Anne Thompson]
After the break, All Good Things, the dramatic feature by Capturing the Friedmans director Andrew Jarecki, is picked up by Magnolia. Read More »

This stunning oceanfront home includes the highly acclaimed Serenata Beach Club with three pools and more next door, all yours if you like for a week for your entire group (10 people, not including kids 6 and under) for only $243 for the week for your group. Plus maple flooring, elevator, marble, custom made designer appointments and more.
To call this home 'Paradise' is a big claim. It is true. There is no finer oceanfront home for rent in the Ponte Vedra/St. Augustine area, perfect for 2 to 3 families. Custom features include beautiful maple flooring, exquisite granite countertops, wood cabinets, designer lighting and plumbing fixtures and more including an available elevator. The layout, appointments and amenities are designer inspired from a famous area architect.
But let's start with the highly acclaimed Serenata Beach Club next door, just 700 feet down the beach. Three pools including an adult pool (oceanside), a family pool and a fabulous kids pool ... hot tub, full fitness center, daily kids activities, fitness classes including yoga and more ... plus a fabulous bar and restaurant. The premier home in the area with the Beach Club next door ... the best of all worlds.
The Great Room is really a Great, Great Room with panoramic ocean views where ever you are. From the Living Room area with large TV (Cable)including World War II battleship port hole window peaking out to the ocean to the gourmet Kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances. Then there's the the Dining Room that seats six plus and the Breakfast nook that offers views to both the sunrise over the ocean while you sip you morning coffee and the sunset over the Intercoastal. And, of course, the wet bar is fully equipped.
All five bedrooms have ocean views. Four include their own full baths and are really four master bedroom suites...two with Kings, one with a Queen and one with two doubles. One includes a sofa bed. The Bunk Room is the 5th bedroom with two sets of bunk beds. The home can comfortably sleep 14 to 16 people including children, especially with the sofa bed in one master bedroom and an air bed or two for kids.
All four full baths are beautifully appointed ... one with a Jacuzzi and one with a Steam Shower. Plus, a half bath.
Oh, and the deck and private walkway out to the beach. Plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy the morning sunrise or sip cocktails in the evening as you enjoy the sunset over the Intercoastal. Not to mention the hot and cold water outdoor showers.
And, of course, the home has wireless internet, a two car garage and full laundry room.
If you only take one vacation a year, make it a great one ... 'Paradise'.
We are a family living in Atlanta and often visit the wonderful Ponte Vedra Beach/St. Augustine area. We love it there and one day in a few years plan to move into our wonderful beach home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Rick/Jenny Carney purchased this house in 2009
No better place to vacation or live.
We returned to Paradise for our second time and it was just as lovely as we had all remembered it to be! Top notch accommodations and gorgeous weather made this another vacation of a lifetime!! Rick and Jen were so great to work with and they were very prompt and attentive to our needs if needed. The Serenata Beach Club never disappoints and we visited there and ate there every day, but it is at Paradise that we feel most at home :) the bedrooms are so comfy and we all had our own space to unwind. The kitchen has everything you could ever need and we cooked huge meals every day. The home is perfect for large families, or like ours, 3 families. We range in age from 11-70 and everyone would agree with me when I say that this home has it all and deserves all 5 stars!!
Thank you so much Rick. Our family had the most glorious time at your Paradise home. The pictures didn't do this home justice. Very well maintained with views beyond words. The four master bedrooms with private baths were a huge hit! Our foster son with severe autism was easily contained with the adequate locks and draw bridge. We appreciate you sharing this home with us and we will be back again. The club next door is a must. They catered to our every need!
I entertained a group of customers here during the GA/FL game and the house was perfect for our needs. This was perhaps the best view and closest to the beach I have ever been. You are practically on top of the ocean. The great thing about the house is the space you have inside and out. You can fit a large group comfortably in the rooms as well as the common areas. We spent most of our time in the kitchen which was spacious enough for cooking, football watching, and a game of cards. As far as the space outside the full length deck was a perfect place to lounge overlooking you personal stretch of sand. In addition, with no other homes to your immediate right, you practically have a few hundred yards to yourself.
The physical location of the house is about 20 min south of Ponte Vedra where we also played golf at the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club. A phenomenal (and challenging) 36 hole golf club, that will allow you access if you purchase a 3 Day temporary membership through the club/pro shop.
About 5 miles south of the house is a very big Publix which made our lives a lot easier when stocking up on snacks, ice, etc. The convenience element that I did not take into consideration until we arrived was the accessibility to St. Augustine. A 15 min drive south and you drive right into downtown with plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, and sight seeing. If you have never been to St. Augustine, definitely go visit. It is a very cool and entertaining little city. Lots of history and plenty to do.
I would recommend this house to anyone looking to get away and enjoy some personal beach time. I have stayed at plenty condos and visited too many public beaches to know that you cannot beat having your own strip of sand. Not only is the house a great piece of property the owners are reliable and easy people to work with. Enjoy your stay!!!
What a wonderful place to spend a week for vacation with family. My wife and I, our 4 children and 3 grandchildren all had plenty of bedroom space. The kitchen, dining room and living room space was also great, open and with spacious windows to see the beauty of our surroundings. Right on the beach, walk out the door onto the patio down the steps and you are there! The Serenata Beach Club is right next store for swimming in a beautiful pool facility with food, drinks and a hot tub. Rick and Jenny, the property managers, were most cordial and cooperative and helped to make our stay a memorable family experience. We would encourage others to take advantage of the opportunity to rent this facility. It is just 15 minutes North of St. Augustine and we enjoyed our time spent there as well. The oldest settlement in the United States we enjoyed the opportunity to tour the city and see all of its great sites. There is a chocolate factory, winery and distillery nearby for touring with free samples and great spots for dining. I have already recommended this property to family and friends as a place to stay and would not hesitate to do so for others.
This property has a great layout, location and amenities, and is well maintained. Right on the beach, our family of nine enjoyed every minute of our stay there. The house design of four stories afforded plenty of space for privacy or group activities, and the elevator was an important extra for our son in a wheelchair. Room for three cars was a plus. The home manager was prompt and friendly if we needed any assistance.
We took advantage of nearby St. Augustine attractions, and a close Publix for supermarket errands. We fished off the beach right in front of the house. The ladies enjoyed shopping, and the variety of excellent restaurants pleased us all.
This a wonderful property which performed as advertised for my family. There were 7 adults and two children ages 6&9 which made the layout perfect for us. Lots of space, very comfortable bedrooms and ample bathrooms providing privacy when needed. We love being on the beach so the ease of access was fantastic as was the relative privacy. The Serenata Beach/Swim club was within walking distance down the beach for those times that the kids wanted to enjoy the kiddie pool. We also took advantage of the adult pool where we could enjoy lunch or an adult beverage in our swimsuits! We will return in the future and would most definitely recommend this property to friends and family. Finally, we appreciated the care and responsiveness provided by Oceanfront Properties. We knew we were in good hands if we needed help which, due to excellent management and property preparation, was not required. This was a vacation that we'll remember and talk about for some time!
Enjoy long beach walks, searching for just the right shells and Fishing and Surfing right in your own back yard. Golfers ... So Many Courses to Choose from in All Price Ranges Including the World Famous TPC Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra. Deep Sea Fishing Charters Available Nearby. And All the Great Shopping and Restaurants You Would Want at All Price Ranges in Both St. Augustine, the Oldest City in America, Just 10 Minutes South and Ponte Vedra, 20 Minutes North.

Why is Iran conspiring with Mexican drug dealers?
- By José R. CárdenasJose R. Cardenas was acting assistant administrator for Latin America at the U.S. Agency for International Development in the George W. Bush administration.
Much of official Washington has been stunned by the Justice Department announcement this week that an Iranian-American, acting on behalf of the elite Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, has been arrested for allegedly conspiring with an individual he believed was tied to a violent Mexican drug cartel to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States and carry out other possible terrorist activities.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for one, remarked, "The idea that [Iran] would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador, nobody could make that up, right?"
But as outlandish as it may seem, it can also be seen as the fruits of Iran's steady expansion into Latin America and attempts to make common cause with transnational criminal operations in its global conflict with the United States.
Last week, former Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere Roger Noriega and I co-authored a paper, The Mounting Hezbollah Threat in Latin America, for the American Enterprise Institute, in which we establish that, over the last several years, Iran, with its Hezbollah proxy in tow, has made a major diplomatic and economic push into the Western Hemisphere. Their goals are three-fold: to break down their international isolation and gain access to strategic resources; undermine U.S. influence in the region; and establish a new platform from which to wage their war against the United States.
That effort has been largely facilitated by Venezuela's Hugo Chávez, who has served as the principal interlocutor on Iran's behalf with other like-minded governments in the region, primarily the Rafael Correa and Evo Morales governments in Ecuador and Bolivia, respectively, who themselves have established dubious networks with criminal groups.
Moreover, Iran and Hezbollah's ties to Mexican drug cartels are nothing new. For years, they have been involved in drug smuggling and people smuggling in Mexico and across the U.S. border.
What experts say is new, however, and indicative of a deepening relationship, is Mexican drug traffickers' increasing use of small improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and car bombs in waging their mayhem in Mexico, an expertise for which Hezbollah is particularly known; and, secondly, the ongoing discovery of increasingly sophisticated narco-tunnels along the U.S.-Mexico border, which experts say resemble the type used by Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Frankly, from their own warped perspectives, it would be more surprising if there was no cooperation between Iran-Hezbollah and Mexican cartels, given the obvious benefits to both criminal enterprises. The cartels are able to access Hezbollah's smuggling and explosives expertise and links with drug trafficking networks in the Middle East and South Asia (the alleged Quds Force operative also reportedly offered opium shipments from the Middle East to Mexico). In turn, Iran and Hezbollah are able to establish a presence and develop assets in a lawless environment with ready access to the U.S. border that can go operational when the need arises — as it apparently did in this case.
To be sure, trying to arrange the assassination of a foreign diplomat on U.S. soil represents an ominous turn in Iranian strategy against the United States. In any case, the stakes are clear. In a May 2011 visit to Bolivia, Iranian Defense Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi proclaimed that in the event of any military confrontation between Iran and the United States, "The strong Iran is ready for enemy-crushing and tough response in case of any illogical and violent behavior by the U.S." It seems we now have a pretty good idea on how Iran will rely on its new-found friends in the Western Hemisphere to carry out that threat.
