Annual Gus Macker Three on Three Basketball Tournament
Gus Macker teams up with nostalgia, history in Morris, IL, 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. This will be the 13th year of Gus Macker 3-on-3 in Morris, IL, which is a nostalgic slice of America nestled along the 96-mile I and M Canal that connects the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. Gus likes to think the I and M mean Incredible Macker site, though it really means Illinois and Michigan Canal. In essence, both are true. It is a tremendous and welcoming stop along the historic canal, as well as an incredible Macker site. Abraham Lincoln reportedly received a haircut during a visit to Morris, but that's just a footnote or maybe headnote in the history of the nostalgic downtown atmosphere that greets Macker players each year. Registration is right on the Grunday County Courthouse lawn. The courts branch out from there on city streets named for great competition, and all together it presents a basketball festival for gamily and friends. Come on over on June 7 and 8. Morris is located just a little over an hour's drive from downtown Chicago, a lot closer from all the suburbs and that's a short trip to find fun, beautiful parks, quaint shops and wonderful restaurants. Oh, and basketball. A dunk contest, 3-point shooting contest, free-throw contest and a Dream Court for those young dreamers are annual parts of the fun brought to you by the Morris Downtown Development Partnership, Inc., as well as gracious sponsor partners. All age groups and levels of experience are welcome. Just put 111 East Washington in your GPS application. Hey, you could probably get a haircut like Honest Abe. He was tall, and we figure he probably played center or power forward. Registration will be available soon at www.macker.com. Even if you don't play basketball, you can be involved!

Re: Black screen (no signal) when entering Virtual Console
Slogum, I have one suggestion for you, it worked for me. You may currently be using a framebuffer console, which enables you to use the console at higher resolutions. If I use the normal vga mode instead of the high resolution framebuffer console then I don't see any problems after the X server loads. You can change to the normal vga mode if you are using lilo as your bootloader by editing /etc/lilo.conf You need to find the line that says "vga = xxx" and change it to "vga = normal". If you are using grub to boot, then I don't know what file or line within that file you need to edit, but it would be some grub config file
oh, nearly forgot... if you edit lilo.conf you must run /sbin/lilo to update the bootloader. if you don't then the next time you boot you will still be using the same options, it doesn't read the lilo.conf file every time.

Sure he was like 35 and inactive but hes not shot thats the same thing with DLH alittle past it but clearly not shot still a competitve fighter. Castillo is a fight I never demanded cause Hatton ran away from 147 where the best fighters where Floyd,Cotto,Margarito,Cintron,Collazo rematch,Judah,Mosley etc. I do think Castillo is close to shot them Corrales fights took something out of him obviously hes so slow and weak looking his punches seem to have no velocity behind them and hes looked that way his last few fights. Even if he wasnt im not sure these people hear would be satisfied you feel there frequent users of the double standards. Hatton beats a possibly shot Castillo and he gets flamed while Pacquiao fights a CLEARLY shot Morales and is praised for it he takes 3 fights in a row where a guy is coming off a loss and when Floyd does it with Judah hes flamed. Floyd beats Judah coming off 1 loss then Cotto does it when Judahs coming off 2 losses and Cottos praised. Its ****ing bull**** thats why I spend time mostly in the lounge,MMA or Training.

Carlisle started well with Kallum Higginbotham and Joe Garner both going close, but Cumbrians goalkeeper Mark Gillespie denied Anthony Wordsworth, Craig Eastmond and Jabo Ibehre.
Colchester took a 25th-minute lead through Eastmond, who interchanged with Sanchez Watt before tapping in from close range before Carlisle felt they should have had a penalty when Higginbotham appeared to have been shoved in the area by Brian Wilson.
Ibehre doubled the U's lead just after the half-hour when he converted first-time from four yards following Watt's fine low cross.
Gillespie denied Marcus Bean and Watt clipped the post before Peter Murphy's header came back off the crossbar for Carlisle just before half-time.
Carlisle started the second half brightly and Higginbotham, Mike Edwards and James Berrett all missed free headers, while Ibehre fired just wide for Colchester, who claimed their fourth league win out of five under new boss Joe Dunne.

With the other 4 or 5 android phones i have had i have to flash them to get working like the Nexus 4. When i unlocked the bootloader on my Xperia S i just relocked it and gave it up as a bad job, what a heap that needed a reboot every day where as my N4 goes weeks between reboots.
I have been tempted don't get me wrong

Housing Scene: Use reverse offer to get a buyer's attention
WASHINGTON You've had your house on the market for several months with no takers. Lately, though, a nice young couple has come back to give the place a second look, and then perhaps even a third. You wait anxiously, but still no offer.
What do you do? You could turn the tables and make them an offer instead, an offer they just might not be able to refuse.
It's called a "reverse offer," and it's a technique that Grace Safrin, an associate broker with F.C. Tucker/Advantage Realty in Valparaiso, Ind., used to sell three houses last year. "It's a form of matchmaking that has worked on several occasions for us," she says.
Reverse offers aren't new. They were used in the 1980s recession when mortgage rates were in double digits and the few would-be buyers were often reluctant to pull the trigger. Except for a few mild slow markets since then, wannabe owners have pretty much fallen all over themselves to find houses, often battling over the same one, and all sellers had to do was sit back and wait for the offers to come in.
Things are different now. The market is oversaturated with homes, and would-be buyers are once again back on the sidelines. So, if you really want to sell your house – if you are what is called a "motivated seller" – than Safrin and a number of other progressive realty pros say it may be "time to dust off this old real-estate treasure."
"In this real-estate market, it's not always business as usual," the northern Indiana agent says. "Sometimes, you have to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem."
A reverse offer works something like this: A potential buyer has shown more than a passing interest in your house, and the buyer's agent has indicated his client really likes the place. But for some reason, a week or two has gone by and the buyer hasn't made an offer.
Something is holding him back. Perhaps he likes everything about the place but the carpeting. Maybe he wants to show the house to his parents and get their approval. Perhaps he still wants to look at several other places. Or maybe he's just paralyzed from watching the news about the awful real-estate market.
It can be any number of things. So based on feedback from his agent, why not make the reluctant buyer an offer? Maybe you'll knock a few grand off your asking price, agree to change the carpeting, and throw in a 12-month home warranty. Perhaps you'll also agree to wait for however long it takes for him to get approved for a mortgage, or give him some extra time to close.
In other words, whatever it takes not only to get his attention but to put his John Hancock on a contract. "I've never met a buyer who has been unhappy to receive a reverse offer," says Steve Leung, an agent in Silicon Valley. "Are they surprised? Usually. Will they listen? Most always."

NFL, players to begin CBA talks next month
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Talks on a new collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the players union are expected to begin next month, with an eye on avoiding a lockout that could disrupt the 2011 season.
Jeff Pash, the NFL's executive vice president and general counsel, said Tuesday at the NFL meetings he believes both the league and new NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith have laid "a good groundwork for these discussions to begin," but stopped short of saying how long they may take.
"We'll stay at it for as long as it takes," Pash said.
NFL owners opted out of the collective bargaining agreement last year, meaning there could be a labor-related stoppage if a new deal isn't struck for the 2011 season. Combined with the global economic downturn and the chance of a longer NFL schedule, it seems possible talks between the league and union could be, at best, contentious.
"The right place to start is a place where the players understand why the owners opted out," Smith said. "We all know that the players didn't opt out of this deal. We do know the NFL generated in excess of $8 billion last year. We know that the average team has grown by 400 percent in 10 years. ... What we don't understand is what is wrong with the current deal when those facts exist."
Smith reiterated Tuesday that he'd like to obtain more details on the league's revenues, only to have commissioner Roger Goodell counter by saying the union knows details of the books "to the penny."
Pash said the league has not set a deadline for a new deal to be struck, saying that would be counterproductive.
"I think fans should be confident that we're going to be single-minded in our focus on this as we possibly can," Pash said. "I think it's in everyone's interest. We've had a very healthy partnership ... it's clearly in everyone's interest to try to maintain that."
The CBA isn't the only issue the NFL will discuss with its players in the coming weeks and months. The prospect of more NFL games apparently is going to require more talking as well.
The NFL extended its television deals with Fox and CBS on Tuesday for two years through the 2013 season, and Goodell acknowledged those pacts allow for "flexibility" if the league added a 17th or 18th regular-season game. But it now seems likely no decision will be made until talks are held with the players.
"We have tried to look at this from every different perspective because you want to know the intended consequences and the unintended consequences," Goodell said. "Whenever you're dealing with the quality of the game, that's a key factor."
Smith said players need to be aware of what's at stake for additional games.
"The players understand the cost to their bodies," he said. "The players understand how tough it is to get through a regular season. They understand how hard it is to try to stand up on a Monday morning. They understand why they need a day off on Tuesday. Their families understand when they get out of football and they have arthritis before they're 40. They understand the cost."

Doc's arthritis struggle shows illness' severity
WASHINGTON Dr. Sue Zieman can almost set her watch by her disease: Twice a day, she gets a fever and the already arthritic joints in her arms and hands, legs and feet abruptly, painfully swell even more. During the evening flare, even the tendons in her feet puff up, rope-like worms just under her skin.
The rest of the day, her joints are so stiff that the once robust Maryland physician frequently uses a scooter to get around. Just shaking hands hurts the 47-year-old.
Inflammatory arthritis is disabling Zieman but exactly what kind and what caused it to attack suddenly is a mystery. Nor do her fellow doctors know what treatment to suggest next. She's tried all of today's arthritis medications with little relief.
Say arthritis, and people tend to shrug it off as a rite of passage of aging. The reality is much more complicated. Arthritis encompasses 100 different conditions and affects about 46 million people in the U.S.
Osteoarthritis - where cartilage gradually erodes with the wear-and-tear of aging - is by far the most common type.
But inflammatory types - such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus - occur when something makes the immune system run amok and attack the body's own tissues, eating away cartilage and eventually harming bone. It can strike at far younger ages.
Zieman's saga highlights not just how much doctors still have to learn about arthritis, but how devastating a severe case can be.
"It totally stripped my identity," says Zieman, whose illness cost her career as a cardiologist and her love of sailing. "I just don't think people realize how debilitated you can be, and young."
She uses humor to help cope, nicknaming her scooter Bella and joking that "I know I'm going to turn into a pumpkin each night" when that 7 p.m. flare sends her to bed.
Infections sometimes trigger inflammatory arthritis, and that's what probably happened with Zieman. She'd just returned from a business trip to India in December 2008 when she came down with a fever, fatigue and pain in her shoulder and knee. Antibiotics didn't help.
A month later, Zieman became short of breath and both legs swelled. An emergency hospital admission prompted a battery of tests for infections, even super-rare ones she might have encountered abroad. Again, nothing. Maybe it was cancer? Nope.
Then the joints in her wrists and hands began swelling. Soon she couldn't lift a glass. Swelling and pain moved to her ankles and toes.
Her joints had the classic look of rheumatoid arthritis, a disease that affects 1.3 million Americans and that can begin with a low fever and fatigue.
But it wasn't a slam-dunk diagnosis. Blood tests check for specific markers of the disease, such as a substance called rheumatoid factor, and Zieman's results were negative, something that occurs occasionally.
More important, a variety of drugs hit the market in the last 15 years that can rein in the disease and target some of the immune cells doing the damage.
But drug after drug failed, and the illness was spreading to her elbows, knees, hips, even her jaw.

Zack's Kernel News
Sam Ravnborg announced headercheck, a new script that tells whether any kernel headers have failed to include all of their own dependencies. Ingo Molnar thought this was a great idea, but he also bemoaned the absence of a tool that would identify headers that include too many dependencies. He said that "the current practice of 'include enough .h files in the .c file to make it build' has resulted in perversely long #include line sections in .c files." In one case, he said, he'd reduced the number of #include lines in a source file from 32 down to 11.

|The Vivian Creek Trail is definitely more than 7.8mi. Gary Suttle's book lists it as 8.4mi. I think some of the switchbacks above High Creek Camp may have been lengthened in recent history to make the route longer.

Hikers Warned to Avoid Icy Risks
Four are dead and two missing in Southland mountains. Despite recent sunshine, 'It's just a sheet of ice up there,' a rescue official says.
By Lance Pugmire and Janet Wilson
Times Staff Writers
January 22, 2004
With four Southland hikers dead since New Year's Day and two more missing, authorities on Wednesday closed a popular Mt. San Gorgonio trail and issued strong warnings to those who choose to hike the region's rugged mountains in treacherous conditions.
"Warning, Extreme Icy Conditions … Do Not Hike Alone," stated fliers handed out with hiking permits in the San Gorgonio district of the San Bernardino National Forest beginning Wednesday. U.S. Forest Service personnel were preparing similar advisories to be given to hikers who buy parking and hiking permits in the San Bernardino, Cleveland, Angeles and Los Padres national forests.
"It's just a sheet of ice up there," said John Amrhein, emergency services coordinator for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. "They're going to slip and fall thousands of feet, like these other hikers, if they're not properly prepared. Basically, now would be a nice time to go to the beach."
Amrhein spoke at the command post at the closed Vivian Creek hiking trailhead, where weary search-and-rescue teams fanned out on a foot of fresh snow atop sheer ice, looking for Eugene Kumm, 25, of Seal Beach, missing since he set out alone for San Gorgonio peak Saturday. He had taken ice climbing equipment he'd been given for Christmas, but had never used it before, authorities said.
Heavy cloud cover at higher elevations meant helicopters had to transport rescuers to narrow ravines. The fresh snow overnight could have covered any tracks or other signs of a campsite, but "if he's still moving, we'd be able to see his footprints clearly," Amrhein said.
By late afternoon, with the sun sinking, the search was suspended for another long, cold night.
Amrhein said searchers had seen "not a thing, not a thing."
To the west, along the Pacific Crest Trail, a second team was searching for Ronald Barbour, 69, of La Crescenta, who set out on a combined bike ride and hike Sunday. Searchers planned to be back out this morning looking for both men.
It has been a grim winter for search-and-rescue teams. Four hikers have been found dead in three weeks, none of them novices. Chung Hun "Charles" Koh, 53, of Buena Park left home New Year's Day to hike on Mt. Baldy. His body was found Saturday, nearly 1,000 feet below a spot where a partner thought he had fallen.
Ali Aminian, 51, of Newbury Park was an experienced Sierra Club member who went hiking alone in the same area Jan. 11, while Koh was still missing. Aminian's body was found Jan. 14.
Matthew L. Jones, 15, of San Bernardino tumbled about 400 feet to his death from a steep, burned slope near Devore on Jan. 11.
Kenneth Smith, 66, of Yucaipa died Jan. 5 while ice climbing in the Forest Falls area, not far from where Barbour is missing now.
Even experienced hikers should understand that winter ice hiking requires Alpine mountaineering equipment and skills, authorities said.
Treacherous ice is the common denominator in three of the four deaths, and the disappearances of Kumm and Barbour, said Sgt. Cliff Weston, the San Bernardino County sheriff's search-and-rescue coordinator. Ice covers trails and slopes frequented by hikers, he said.
"Especially on the north-facing slopes, it has remained extremely cold up there," he said. The high-pressure, bright, sunny weather system in recent weeks has created icy conditions with no snow covering it."
That fair weather in the valleys has fooled too many hikers, Weston said.
"Usually, at this time of year, snowfall would keep people out," Weston said. "Sunshine lulls people into a false sense of security. It may be in the 60s and 70s in the valleys, but it's not warm in the mountains. On the mountaintop, the ice continues to stay, and if hikers continue going up there, we're going to continue to have problems."
The icy conditions are the third deadly threat in the mountains, which were ravaged first by fires, then flash floods late last year. The Old fire, which started in San Bernardino, and the deadly flood that ravaged a campground in Devore were blamed for establishing the brittle ground that gave way when Jones fell to his death.
"The vegetation is not strong in burned areas; more rocks are falling than ever before in those areas. There's a clear message being sent to those who go into the burn areas to be aware of your footing," said Ruth Wenstrom, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman.
San Bernardino County authorities have rescued at least six other hikers since Jan. 1. Rescuers typically are called out about 90 times a year, but rarely in such close succession.
Both Mt. Baldy and Mt. San Gorgonio are popular peaks year-round with Southland hikers, and receive snowfall above roughly 7,000 feet in winter. Access to San Gorgonio is regularly limited by use of hiking permits, with 25 to 30 people a day allowed in the area at a time. The Vivian Creek trail is an artery used by hikers to reach the peak. It was closed Wednesday both because of hazardous conditions and because rescuers did not want hikers disturbing any footprints or other clues that might have been left by Kumm.
Authorities urged all hikers to travel with a companion, tell a friend or family member of their exact hiking path, stick to it if at all possible, know the weather forecast, dress warmly and understand that there are many mountainous pockets where cellphones don't work. Hikers going above the snow line should carry ice axes and boot spikes and know how to use them.
While searchers said three of the men who died were experienced hikers, Kumm is better described as an outdoors enthusiast, said Cpl. Darren Goodman of the sheriff's search-and-rescue team.
"He was alone and had no map…. He didn't know the area, and he was in ice with [boot spikes] he just got at Christmas," Goodman said. "Everything he has done indicates he was not an experienced hiker. You don't hike alone. That's suicide."
Dan Hendley, a colleague of Kumm's at Kiewit Industries in Long Beach, said he was surprised to learn that his friend had taken on the 11,500-foot-high mountain by himself.
"He usually goes with his girlfriend or a buddy," said Hendley, who lives across the street from Kumm. "He's a pretty smart dude and a great physical man at 6-2, 240 pounds. But I'm worried about him."
Hendley described his friend as always well-prepared for a hike. He said Kumm had hiked to 6,500 feet a week earlier with his girlfriend. And he said he doesn't have any doubt that his friend is still alive.
"I'm assuming, with all the snow, he just got turned around," Henley said. "If he's not hurt, he's on the move somewhere. He's a pretty strong-willed guy."
Times staff writer Dave McKibben contributed to this report.

|I had the pleasure of hiking the Fish Creek Trail on June 22nd. Other than that the trailhead is a 30 minute drive over a sometimes rough road from the highway, I found little reason this should be the least popular route. The trail design is excellent, with the grade perfectly balanced for ascent and descent. It climbs just fast enough to avoid being frustrating on the ascent, but is gentle enough so as to not be pounding on the descent. The route is blessed with views first of Fish Creek Meadows, then the Ten Thousand Foot Ridge and Grinnell Mountain, and then Dry Lake while traversing Lake Peak. After that you have one of the best and most encouraging views of the summit of any route. Finally, though not as well endowed as the Vivian Creek route, there is water avialable at a few locations. All in all, I found the Fish Creek Trail to be a great way to go.

|Hiked the South Fork trail to Dry Lake where we camped for the night. Got up early and made our way up the Mineshaft trail. At about 10K feet we began seeing our fist snow obstructing the trail. In several places the trail itself was buried by up to 5 feet of snow making it very slow-going. Once we reached the point where the Mineshaft trail beings it's long series of switchbacks (around 10,500' ) the trail was completely covered, forcing us to go direct - straight up the snow + a bit of rock scrambling up a large scree rock slid.. The snow pack was hard enough to walk on top in some places but we did experience many holes. The finally push to the summit from Sky High trail was relatively easy. The hike back down through Dollar Saddle also had some portions of snow - most notably just before Dry Lake View and directly after Dollar Saddle. Give yourself plenty of time if taking this route as the snow adds much effort.

Hasn't voted
|We hiked to top of San Gorgonio yesterday (8/23/09) via the Vivian Creek trail. The trail descriptions list this route as being 16 miles round trip. This can't be correct. We had a Garmin GPS with us and it showed the total round trip mileage from the parking lot where you first start walking, to the top and back, as being a little over 18 miles round trip! So don't be fooled into thinking you are going for 16 miles. Just no way this is accurate. Hopefully someone will update the trail description with respect to the total miles.

|Some corrections...
Voted 10/10
|The Vivian Creek route is the most popular, South Fork is #2
If you want a permit for Vivian for a dayhike on the weekend in the summertime, you must get it 3-4 weeks in advance. South Fork camps such as Dry and Dollar Lakes are also filling several weeks in advance.
If you want to hike during the week, you have a better chance of getting a permit.
Self-issue permits aren't always available - they oftentimes run out, or get stolen. So we recommend getting your permit in advance! Please allow at least 72 hours for processing of permits.
And as a reminder, self-issue permits are only good for that day.
Also, Mill Creek RS phone number is now 909-382-2882 and they are closed Tues/Wed.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

St Martins Lane Hotel
45 St. Martin's Lane, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Leicester Square
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
St Martins Lane was the first Ian Schrager/Philippe Starck collaboration on English shores, moving into Covent Garden a few months ahead of its younger sister, Soho's Sanderson. The concept (at both hotels) is Urban Resort, and there's no question guests walk into a different world upon entering, a world furnished with golden tooth-shaped seats, life-size chess pieces and hanging bare lightbulbs. Starck's trademark irreverence may not look as novel as it did a few years ago, but it certainly sets a tone, quite a contrast to the English urban-country-house norm.
Rooms are loft-style, open-plan, with a custom-designed lighting system allowing guests to set the mood with light in any color of the spectrum, emanating almost magically from a projector behind the headboard, an arrangement that makes use of the blank canvas provided by the rooms' all-white color scheme. Windows are floor-to-ceiling, allowing for impressive views of central London—one of the benefits of retrofitting a Sixties office block rather than some Georgian landmark. As in any loft-style building, corner rooms will see the most light, and while at many hotels the "garden rooms" are those with inferior views, here it means something different; an outdoor patio with a touch of greenery provides a breath of fresh air.
A Schrager hotel without a chic and in-demand restaurant would be unthinkable—this one has the tried-and-true Asia de Cuba. The Starck-designed Rum Bar and Light Bar round out the social life, which draws at least as many locals as guests. St Martins Lane lacks one thing the Sanderson has, which is a spa; then again this location is a shopper's paradise—in choosing between the two, the key, ultimately, is: Covent Garden or Soho?

- Rating: Good
What I liked:
The location can't be beat, the rooms are exceedingly comfortable and stylish, and the service is exceptional. It's tough having to compete with the Sanderson (which I'm in love with), but I always enjoy staying here. If you enjoy Schrager I can't imagine why you'd be disappointed. Room service is very tasty!
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing - always enjoy staying here.

Spirits overflowing in tasting rooms at San Diego county wineries
NORTH COUNTY San Diego County's boutique wineries have experienced a boomlet the past six months, finally freed from the tyranny of a useless and expensive county requirement.
New tasting rooms, sometimes no more than a picnic table and umbrella, are popping up each weekend at growing locations. Nobody knows how many there are and finding them — on gentleman-farm parcels tucked away in gorgeous scenery — is part of the fun.
Our county, half as big as New Jersey, has more than 60 wineries spread amid Escondido, Valley Center, San Marcos, Fallbrook, Ramona, Julian, Warner Springs and more. A few have won dozens of ribbons. Others point to high scores from the Wine Spectator. About two-thirds belong to the San Diego County Vintners Association or the Ramona Valley Winery Association.
Before August 2010, these wineries had to obtain a major use permit from the county to do on-site retail tastings. The regulatory cost was up to a quarter of a million dollars just to twist a cork on their own bottle on their own property.
County supervisor Dianne Jacob worked with growers to end the regulatory nonsense. A new ordinance helped the wineries while protecting rural tranquillity: No bus-like vehicles, no night events and percentage requirements for homegrown and regional grapes.
Celebrations were premature. Coast Law, the outfit against desalinated water and Fourth of July fireworks, doesn't like tasting rooms either, suing on behalf of anonymous clients. The legal challenge lost at the Superior Court level in April, unleashing a wave of openings.
Ramona is furthest along with maybe a dozen tasting rooms on a wine trail along Highway 67 and the present and old Julian highways. Ramona Valley is now an American Viticultural Area, a big deal in the wine world, meaning the grapes have distinctive common characteristics. Ramona even has a tasting room downtown and a wine pub about to open.
These mom and pop vintners necessarily have day jobs or are semiretired. All have a passion for winemaking. Woof'n Rose, which you won't find without directions, is home to Stephen and Marilyn Kahle who love dogs, roses, red wines and their view of circling hawks and of planes landing at the Ramona Airport.
Stop nearby at Eagles Nest Winery where sheep graze the weeds amid the wines, there's a rental cottage, and educator owners Dennis and Julie Grimes have strong views on what the industry must do to prosper.
Joe Cullen of Scaredy Cat Ranch might be Southern California's smallest winery. He has only an acre of grapes but a Tempranillo we could not put down.
Ramona's largest winery is Milagro Farm off Old Julian Highway. A 5,000-square-foot tasting room has been open four weeks. The 110-acre estate has 20 acres of grapes amid natural settings.
Nearby, on the current Julian highway is Edwards Winery. Owners of the 64-acre parcel, Beth and Victor Edwards, have known heartache, from a photo industry job lost to digitalization to the encroaching Witch fire. But stop at their outdoor tasting room, sample their reds, and share their dream as well as a muffin from Dudley's Bakery.

PREPS: Q&A with Murrieta Valley girls volleyball player Dana Backlund
Q: What makes a good setter? What are you looking for when you're setting up an attack for a teammate?
A: You have to be quick. You have to be able to handle a lot of pressure and thinking. ... You have your key hitters, so you look to see who's doing the best in that match, who's mentally there and from where on the court can I set up the most hittable ball. ... If there's a short blocker, you (aim for that), but of course the hitter matters. There's no use setting someone with a short blocker who can't hit it. So it all depends ...
Q: What do you prefer ---- setting or hitting?
A: Oh gosh, I don't know. It depends on the game, actually. If I'm getting bored, then I want to hit. If we're down, I definitely want to be the setter. But I like both of them. I don't really know.
Q: Both Murrieta Valley and Vista Murrieta are ranked among the top teams in the division. How much does that add to your rivalry with the Broncos?
A: It's exciting. It's fun. It's nice to look forward to a competitive league.
Q: Does last year's playoff loss still sting?
A: Well, Redlands East Valley was a really good team. We're not necessarily disappointed, but I know we can do better.
Q: How much better?
A: I think we can go as far if not further than we did last year.

NAMPA -- Nampa recently asked citizens to come up with a name for the city's downtown library development.
The options included Nampa Commons, Nampa Square and Nampa Town Center.
The people have spoken - it's now called Library Square.
The new Library Square development will be on the block that houses the old public safety building, old fire administration building and Central Services building. That s between 11th and 12th Avenue South at 2nd and 3rd streets.
Gardner Company, which is building the Zion's Bank Building in downtown Boise, is also in charge of this project. The contract has not yet been finalized.
