Adult Male Jumping Spider at Sunset - Phidippus mystaceus
Make sure to click here to view the larger image as Flickr's resizing creates moiré artifacts and over-sharpens a bit!
Here's yet another handsome Phidippus mystaceus that caught my eye from about 20-30 feet while walking some trails yesterday afternoon. Momentarily, my mind told me the form I saw floating near some conifers beside the trail was a large hoverfly. But as I slowly walked closer, and upon noticing that the form didn't move from its position – it clicked in my mind and I knew it must be a salticid hanging on a line – and likely a Phidippus mystaceus given the location! To my surprise and joy, he ended up being a healthy male specimen as well – the perfect counterpart to the female I posted a few weeks back!
What a wonderful little guy he was - all salticids are quite alert and aware of their surroundings, but he was particularly so - noticing even the subtlest of motions. This shot proved to be a little tricky and still isn't quite what I was going for (I violated some of my very loosely followed and self-imposed rules regarding color and value contrast) but any P. mystaceus shot is a cause for celebration – and one against a sunset for Halloween was too good to pass up. The method of shooting was just about the same as the previous P. mystaceus shot, only taken later in the day with the warm glow of the setting sun illuminating the background of the exposure and creating a natural vignette. 2 shots focus-stacked with Zerene Stacker at f/16 with the 50mm reversed on extension tubes.
Sadly, things are seemingly starting to take their downswing to cooler temperatures here in Oklahoma, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to produce any new macrophotos if that final cold snap should come through soon, but you never know – hopefully this won't be my last shot for this season. I always have my database of older shots to sift through for some unappreciated beauty I unjustly looked over at some point.
Happy Halloween!
What an awesome little fella :)

I've bought about 4 different poles from backcountry trying to find a pole I'm in love with. I just bought these so my review is only one use so far, but first impressions are sometimes noteworthy. My last poles for back country skiing were ok but these are like dream sticks. The baskets are the perfect size, the poles are light and SUPER easy to adjust I'm not too keen on adjustable poles as I've never felt 100% stable. These poles are stable and tough....on my first impression. When I skin up again in deep snow, I'll update my review. My last poles kept sinking and I hated the grips. These grips are comfortable!

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package.

iHerb Customer Reviews
My little seven year old granddaughter has suffered most of her life with rough, dry, itchy skin which she scratches. Her little arms and legs are covered with rough, red patches and scratch marks. I took a bottle of Mayumi, Squalane, Hand & Body Skin Therapy to her mom last week. Last night I visited them and was pleased and amazed to see that my granddaughter's skin was totally clear and smooth.
This is great for any type skin. It doesn't leave an oily feel. And I like that it is thick in consistancy and so you need very little, a little goes a long way! Great price too! Thank you IHerb.

So, (the Rev. Isaac) Jackson thinks Nissan workers deserve better and union representation would be the answer ("Message to Nissan: Miss. workers deserve better," Dec. 19).
The workers are in a climate-controlled plant and make more money and better benefits than any factory job in Mississippi that I know of. Based on my many visits to the plant, it didn't appear employees were being held hostage or forced to work there against their will.
I would sure like to know where these 5,000 jobs were before the plant was built and did those jobs give those people the respect you claim they now deserve? Also, did their prior jobs draw a comparison to those doing the same work in countries around the world?
You say you will continue to to champion the pro-union cause, even though supporters are outnumbered three to one. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
I suggest that pro-union folks study the effects that unions have caused in cities like Detroit, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, etc. Sure, there was a time when owners took advantage of workers, and the workers had to unite, but that was back in the '30s.
Frankly, if you want a bigger say in how to operate the plant, get an education and get yourself promoted to the decision-making level. Criticizing something you had no part of building is counterproductive.

Full text not available from this repository.
The aim Of this Study was to evaluate the performance of the TOP (transfer by orthogonal projection) algorithm for minimising sources of variation that May Cause inaccurate predictions of fatty acids in the MRS analysis of pig fat. A calibration set of 188 samples of Iberian pork fat and two validation sets with 12 and 60 samples were analysed in a NIR (Near Infrared Reflectance) monochromator, using folded-transmission cups. Four correction files, all based on repeated measurement over time of a reference sample of pork fat, were tested for the application of the TOP algorithm. The results obtained for both validation sets showed that the use of TOP improved the robustness of the calibrations developed, reducing the SEP to values closer to the SECV of the calibrations for the four fatty acids measured, i.e. from 1.95% to 0.34% for palmitic, from 0.47% to 0.31% for stearic, from 0.53% to 0.39% for oleic and from 4.45% to 0.58% for linoleic, using the second validation set (n = 60), while the SECV is hardly affected by the application of TOP. These results suggest that TOP algorithm could be a useful and efficient tool for the improvement of liquid MRS calibrations. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Sit-down slated about Brookfill Landfill on Staten Island
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The state attorney general's office has agreed to meet with a Staten Island lawmaker who called for an investigation into the possible misuse of government money supposed to be used to clean up the Brookfield Landfill.
Assemblyman Lou Tobacco (R-South Shore) said he will meet with Kathleen Kennedy, the special deputy attorney general for environmental protection, within the next two weeks.
"I'm excited that this is getting the serious attention it deserves, and look forward to reviewing the whole fiasco with them," said Tobacco. "I will be urging them to use the power of subpoena to see where the money is. I also want to know about the scope of the Brookfield project, and about what will be done here compared to what was done at other landfills in other boroughs."
Last month, Tobacco hand-delivered a letter to the Albany office of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, noting that while some $600 million was set aside years ago for the remediation of five city landfills, only Brookfield in Great Kills -- site of an illegal dumping scandal -- did not get a cleanup. He pointed a finger at the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the city Department of Environmental Protection for failing in their responsibility.
Tobacco and other Island officials have suggested that Brookfield was last on the list and that DEC and DEP ran out of money. They have called the landfill a "toxic time bomb."
Earlier this week, Borough President James Molinaro filed a Freedom of Information Law request with the DEP asking for an accounting of all money originally allocated to the environmental consultants on the long-stalled project.
And Rep. Michael McMahon (D-Staten Island/Brooklyn), who recently brought together a bipartisan group of Island electeds to the landfill gate to highlight the need for remediation, called on the regional administrator of the federal Environmental Protection Agency as well as the state DEC commissioner to meet with him on site....

Violet & Seraphina Affleck: To Grandmother's House We Go
Violet and Seraphina Affleck gave their mom and dad, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck respectively, a break while they had an outting with Ben's mom Chris Affleck on Tuesday (April 5).
The girls and grandma spent the day at Santa Monica Beach, going on the swings, and walking on the balance beam!
I can't believe little Seraphina is all grown up already. I feel like Garner was just pregnant with the little one. Maybe a third child won't be far along?
Would you like to see Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have another child?

Gardiner, who died Wednesday at age 89, was out of the public eye for many years, but those who knew him when he was active said he worked behind the scenes and didn't like to draw attention to himself.
"He was a very quiet philanthropist,'' said George C. White, founder of the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford. "He was a remarkable guy. A major player here, but it was always under the radar."
Gardiner was one of the original founders of the O'Neill, White said, co-signing a $350,000 note in 1965 to start the center.
"He loved the theater but he never wanted to be in the spotlight,'' White said. "He never wanted to take any credit, but he really did an enormous amount to start the O'Neill.''
Because he was quiet, even those who knew him and volunteered with him were unsure of all of his contributions to the town.
White said he believed Gardiner either donated the land or the money for Spera Field on Gardiner Woods Road, and may have given money to help build Waterford Library.
"It's so difficult with Henry to know what he did,'' White said.
Naomi Rachleff, who volunteered with Gardiner raising money for Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, agreed.
"Henry was a fine gentleman,'' she said. "He was very generous with the hospital and gave money, but I can't say what. He wouldn't like it."
She said he had a great sense of humor and even performed onstage in a few skits for the Hi-Fever Follies, the hospital's annual fundraiser.
Gardiner, who joined the Waterford library board in 1959 and was an honorary trustee, was instrumental in raising the library's endowment and designing and building the library on Rope Ferry Road, according to Clifford Grandjean, the board's current president.
"I remember fondly many things about him," Grandjean said. "He was always a great source of information and wisdom."
Grandjean said his friend was "a wonderful and polite human being'' with a wry sense of humor, who didn't like to flaunt what he had.
"He would drive around in a very old, beat-up car, probably the oldest car in Waterford,'' Grandjean said. "He had no pretensions about him."
The Gardiner family settled in Waterford in 1763 and became one of its biggest landowners, operating the Millstone Granite Quarry for years. In 1951, Gardiner sold 114 acres of waterfront property for $446,000 to the Millstone Point Co., where today the Millstone Nuclear Power Station is located.
The family still owns land around Millstone, as well as the Barrett Farm near Cross Road and Interstate 95.
Gardiner spent his childhood in Waterford and Montclair, N.J., graduating from Yale University in 1944. During World War II, he was a Navy lieutenant acting as a Japanese language officer assigned to Adm. Chester Nimitz's staff in Pearl Harbor.
He was a pilot and had a landing strip at his home on Millstone Road. He also was interested in radio and electronics.
Edgar Russ, a friend for more than 60 years, said Gardiner did many good things for Waterford, including revitalizing some buildings in Jordan Village.
He also served on the YMCA in New London and was a charter member of the former New London Country Club, the Thames Club in New London and the Niantic Bay Yacht Club.
"All in all, he was a good citizen,'' Russ said. "But he was a very private person."
His wife, Marcia, said her husband was modest and would have downplayed any talk of his generosity.
"He would never have been pretentious enough to think that he would leave a legacy,'' she said.
His burial and interment will be private. According to his family, a memorial gathering is planned for a future date.

Georgia Etta "Grandma GG" Kinne, 93, of Tingley, passed away August 22, 2014 at the Mount Ayr Health Care Center. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Thursday, August 28 at Watson-Armstrong Funeral Home, 205 West Monroe St, Mount Ayr, Iowa with Rev. Al Rusk officiating. Burial is in the Tingley Cemetery in Tingley, Iowa. Open viewing will be held at the funeral home on Wednesday from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with the family present Wednesday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. A memorial fund has been established to the Tingley Community Building. Online condolences may be left at www.watsonarmstrongfh.com.
Georgia Etta Kinne was born March 26, 1921 to Roy Francis and Geneva Elnora (Neely) Hainey in Barnard, Missouri during a blizzard. She departed this life on August 22, 2014.
The Hainey family ran a family dairy business with Georgia Etta serving the role of delivery girl. She graduated from Barnard High School and attended some college in Maryville. On March 30, 1940, she was united in marriage to Donald Ross Kinne in Troy, Kansas. This union was blessed with three children; Donald, Jr., Linda, and Jane. In 1946, the Kinne family moved to Shannon City, Iowa. In February 1947, they moved to Tingley which would become her beloved hometown.
Georgia Etta was active in the Tingley Christian Church helping send boxes of homemade cookies to veterans in Knoxville and organizing church dinners for fund raising and funerals. She was an avid gardener sharing her ample produce with friends and neighbors, especially her strawberries. Her hobby of sewing left the granddaughters with the best in Barbie fashion; these outfits were also shared with her great granddaughters. Georgia Etta enjoyed cooking and baking. Her grandkids fondly remember a summer party where each had their own birthday cake. Georgia Etta was instrumental in founding the Tingley Friendship Meal site that continues to serve seniors in the area today.
In 1992, she gained the nickname "GG" so it would be easier for her great grandchildren to pronounce her name. "GG" was destined to be a wonderful grandmother and great grandmother as she was named after both of her grandmothers; Georgia Neely and Etta Hainey. She shared her hope to live long enough for her great grandchildren to remember her. In 2010, she moved in with granddaughter, Becky, and family and enjoyed the special times together. In 2013, she moved to the Mount Ayr Health Care Center where she enjoyed the company of her roommate, Willa Poore.
Left to cherish her memory include her daughter Linda (Gary) Myers; daughter Jane (Tom) Skillicorn; grandchildren Kevin (Aleta) Myers, Laura (Shannon) Burke Becky, (Jeff) Fletchall, Lisa (Roy) Beard; great grandchildren Sawyer Myers, Trey Myers, Lucas Myers, Scott Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Emily Burke, Morgan Beard, Ross Beard, Amanda Beard, Lauren Beard, Hannah Fletchall, Hope Fletchall, Haylee Fletchall, and Jaxx Fletchall.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; and son.

Wildcats wrap up 4th straight 31-4A title
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Calallen baseball team wrapped up the District 31-4A championship with a dominating victory over Tuloso-Midway — exactly what the Wildcats wanted heading into the playoffs.
The Warriors, however, won't know for at least one more day whether or not they'll join Calallen in the postseason.
Senior ace Rob Zastryzny held T-M to only three hits and had two of the team's 13 hits in a 16-0, five-inning win Friday night. The Wildcats, ranked third in the state, finished 14-0 in district and 28-3 overall.
"We set three goals at the beginning of the year, and we've accomplished two of them," Chapman said of going undefeated to win a fourth consecutive 31-4A title.
The Warriors still have work to do.
T-M, which dropped to 8-6 in district and 18-11-1 overall, finished in a three-way tie for third place with Flour Bluff and Laredo Cigarroa. The Hornets defeated the Toros 1-0 on Friday behind Ross Carter's four-hit effort, while Josh Gonzalez drove in the only run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning.
All three teams will converge today in Alice to break the deadlock, with T-M and Cigarroa squaring off at noon. The winner earns a spot in the postseason and moves on to play Flour Bluff at 3 p.m.
If the Hornets win the second game, they become the third seed, while the loser is fourth. If the Hornets lose, it sets up a Monday rematch for the final seed and eliminates the loser of the first game.
T-M coach Michael Davila said the first step is getting over Friday's loss.
"We can't do anything about this one," Davila said. "We have to regroup and get ready for (today). Our whole season is on the line. We're hanging on by the skin of our teeth, but we're still in it."
Brett Bell led Calallen's attack with three hits, including two triples in an eight-run second inning that put the game out of reach. The second triple drove in three runs, giving the Wildcats a commanding 11-0 lead.
Zastryzny, Wyatt Mathisen and Tanner Vandevere each had two hits for Calallen, with Mathisen and Vandevere each contributing two-run homers in the bottom of the fourth. Vandevere finished with four RBI, while Bell and Mathisen each had three.
On the mound, Zastryzny posted 11 strikeouts the 11th time he has collected 10 more in a game this season. He improved to 11-0 in pitching his eighth shutout.
Erik Alvarez, Daniel Garza and Rudy Valent accounted for T-M's three hits, including doubles by Alvarez and Valent.

Ha that was classic, very classic, really great with the old music, it just gave it that movie feel to it, the animation was really slow but the comedy made up for it, funny flash, you should make more of thease...
MOVIE COMMENTARY: Classic funny...
Cool Movie
Nice movie dude. It was pretty funny, that guy must be dumb lol. There were only a few bugs, like when it went into the office, the door moved over a little bit, and the hands on the clock disappeared momentairly. Also, when the boss walked by she didn't have a body, and when the guys were typing, they didn't have arms, but I don't care. It was cool.
Thanks a lot. Yeah, I didn't realize I forgot to put the hands on the clock for some of the scenes until I submitted it... I was paying attention to so many things at the same time while finishing it up. Thank you for telling me what you think needs refining, though. I'll definately remember that.
That hotsauce doughnut was originally meant for someone else we worked with at the time who we didn't much care for. He never ate the doughnut, so when I came into work later that day and saw a doughnut sitting there, I ate it instead. I just changed it up a bit in the movie... But yes, I felt dumb afterwards.
not too shaby
i lkied it, it was pretty funny. what happened to the clock hands in one of the scenes. they just disapeared.
well it wasnt to smooth
you didnt need to pay close attention to see that peoples eye colors changed and that the clock hands just go away. but besides that it was fine
Kinda Boring
So-so. The graphics would be vastly improved if you outline the drawings and not make them so messy eg. The building windows at the start. Make the intro more interesting and creative instead of the plan old intro because this bored me immediately. Sorry. But good luck in your future submissions
Thanks, this being my second submission out of 6 or 7 so far, I've actually had quite a bit of luck with the rest! =p

I've run around Mexico a bit and have found the Ediciones Independencia maps ..www. mapasindependencia.com . To be the most reliable ones available down there . They list dirt, as well as improved roads, have town names, in Spanish, "in the order they fall", and are semi reailist as to scale . They are hard to find "quality book stores only", and are about 80ps . Each one covers one state , they're not water proof . I use , a digital cam picture for frequent glances . The other maps there, are, like having no map at all, IMO . One 35 mile quick dirt sneak on my part 2 years back .

Tigers stay purrfect
Five tries keep the Warriors at bay in thrilling contest
Last Updated: 08/09/12 6:16pm
England centre Manu Tuilagi scored two tries in a man-of-the-match display as Leicester claimed their second successive bonus point win with a 34-26 victory over Worcester at Welford Road.
The Tigers scored five tries, the others coming from Fiji winger Vereniki Goneva, lock Graham Kitchener and a penalty try.
Winger David Lemi and centre Alex Grove scored Worcester's tries with former England fly-half Andy Goode kicking 16 points.
Leicester made a blistering start and led 14-3 after just 12 minutes thanks to two sensational tries by Tuilagi. The first came with less than two minutes on the clock after Worcester had won a line-up but got turned over in the Leicester 22.
England fly-half Toby Flood launched a brilliant counter-attack and, after great work by Tom Youngs and Scott Hamilton, Flood fed Kitchener, whose smart change of direction led to Tuilagi's try in the left corner.
Flood converted and, although Goode pulled three points back with a penalty, Goneva had the crowd on their feet with a remarkable counter-attack from one 22 to the other, which led to Tuilagi's second try.
Flood, who had just missed a simple penalty, kicked the conversion from the right touchline but Worcester hit straight back and, after Goode had been denied a try by Geordan Murphy, he slotted an easy penalty.
Flood kicked a penalty to put Leicester 17-6 ahead, and after Goode saved an almost certain try after a mistake by Grove, he kicked his third penalty in the 29th minute.
Worcester full-back Chris Pennell was sin-binned a minute before half-time for a professional foul but his team survived a ferocious onslaught from Leicester who failed to score from several scrums on the line in the closing moments of the half.
Leicester started the second half like they did the first with a try in under two minutes, this time for Goneva, his sixth in five games. It came after Goode had saved Worcester again with a great tackle on Murphy but after Flood's fabulous cut-out pass, Leicester attacked the line and Goneva barged between two players to touch down.
Worcester caught the mood for sensational tries with one of their own in the 49th minute, winger Lemi finishing off a brilliant 80-metre counter-attack with Goode adding the conversion to make it 22-16.
Leicester, however, scored their bonus point try in the 66th minute when referee Andrew Smalling lost patience with Worcester's scrum and went under the posts. Flood kicked the conversion. With nine minutes left, Goode kicked his fourth penalty but Kitchener responded with Leicester's fifth try. Replacement fly-half George Ford missed the conversion.
With the last play of the match, Grove scored Worcester's second try after winning the race to a chip over the top and Goode kicked the conversion.

Bourque has heart and speed, others may have size but not enough speed, so in the end there will not be any great improvement in production but what the bruins need to be looking at are ways to get Raasks reaction times down a bit so he can make some of those saves. Great goalies, like quarterbacks have that 2/10 of a second earlier reaction time to complete a pass or move over to stop a goal. Anticipation and reaction time is what sets the great from the good. And this year we have the good. Those 1 goal losses are what I am talking about.
Originally written on The Awesome Boston | Last updated 3/7/13
BOS puts Chris Bourque on waivers. — Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 7, 2013 A.B. After playing 18 games for the Boston Bruins and logging a substantial amount of time on the power play, Chris Bourque has tallied just 4 points (3 assists, 1 goal). Today, as Bob McKenzie from TSN is reporting, the Bruins have seen enough. And while Bourque will take a roster spot for the Bruins' AHL team, the Providence Bruins, if unclaimed – it seems more likely that some NHL team will take a chance on the talented forward. Bourque, who led the AHL last year with 93 points, of which 27 were goals, should get another shot on an NHL roster. His performance in 2013 has been poor but his potential is great. Any teams not projected to make the playoffs might have more patience for what looks to be a longer learning curve than the Bruins anticipated with Bourque. After all, let's remember, he has greatness in his DNA.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Democratic President Barack Obama won the battleground state of Iowa Tuesday, a hard-fought victory in the state he credits with launching his presidency four years ago.
Iowa voters pick Obama in presidential election
Obama and Republican Mitt Romney traveled frequently to Iowa and spent millions of dollars on advertising to win Iowa's six electoral votes.
Voters returned two incumbent Democrats and two Republicans to Congress, handing victories to Democrats Bruce Braley and Dave Loebsack, and Republicans Steve King and Tom Latham.
Voters also rebuffed an effort by conservatives to remove another state Supreme Court judge.
In the 3rd Congressional District, eight-term Democratic incumbent Leonard Boswell was voted out of a job. He was beat by nine-term incumbent Republican Latham, who moved into the Des Moines-centered district after Iowa lost a seat due to once-a-decade redistricting.
While most polling places saw no issues, large numbers of voters who registered at the polls created long lines in one county and caused a few others to run out of ballots. College students in Cedar Falls and Ames registering to vote for the first time slowed the process, creating a line of several hundred voters in a Cedar Falls precinct.
Up to 45 percent of Iowa voters cast their ballots early. Officials said more than 673,000 residents voted by the end of the day Monday — a nearly 25 percent increase over the 2008 record of just over 545,000.
On Tuesday, an unexpected number of voters registering at the polls in two Madison County precincts caused a ballot shortage. Workers made photocopies to accommodate all voters.
More than half of Iowa voters said the economy is the top issue facing the country, according to preliminary results from exit polling for The Associated Press. The deficit was the top issue for almost one-fifth of voters, the second-biggest group. Their other choices were foreign policy and health care.
Chris Barker, 25, a coffee shop manager from Des Moines said he supported Obama in 2008 and had no reason to switch to Romney.
"The only thing that he actually believes in is he's good enough to be president," Barker said of Romney. "Other than that there's not actually a core thing that Mitt Romney believes in, except that he needs to win, no matter what he has to say or do."
Des Moines real estate appraiser Brett Blanchfield, 37, said he voted for Mitt Romney largely because he thought the Republican will boost the economy.

Boats out for this year's Thunder
Event to go on with 'certifiable star'
Thunder on the Ohio and the distinctive boats that bathe the Evansville Riverfront in sound and spray are officially on hold for 2010.
"Basically, we've made a decision we're going to have an event, but without boats," said Tom Sawyer, chairman of Thunder on the Ohio. "The cost simply escalated beyond our budget. We hope to have boats back in 2011."
So, instead of Thunder on the Ohio from Aug. 20-22, the Riverfront will host ThunderFest presented by Thunder on the Ohio.
Button prices have been reduced from $15 in advance and $20 at the door to $10.
Sawyer said ThunderFest has a verbal financial agreement in place with the event's headliner, "a certifiable star" but could not release his name because the committee had yet to receive a signed contract.
"We thought we'd have it in hand today," Sawyer said Tuesday night. "We've had an agreement since June 28, and then his wife had a baby, and he didn't show up to the office today. We do have plenty set, though."
Contracts are signed with the Poptart Monkeys, a regional rock band from Louisville, Ky., and Evansville disc jockey Deb Turner.
"She has a strong local following," said Sawyer. "We've had good success with her in the past."
ThunderFest will include the Budweiser Clydesdales, an 18-story hot-air balloon, tethered hot-air balloon rides, a barbecue contest, food booths and inflatable attractions for kids.
"If everything's successful, we'll have boat racing next year," said Sawyer.
"With the economy like it is and the cost of a race, we just felt it was financially irresponsible to gamble on the boats. If it rained we'd be up a creek, and we simply can't lose money this year."
This will be the first summer with no hydroplane races in Evansville since 1979, when the city took over the spot hosted by Owensboro. The legendary Bill Muncey won that race 31 years ago in a boat sponsored by Atlas Van Lines; Jeff Bernard won last year in Miss Formulaboats.com.
As late as July 1, there was hope that unlimited hydroplanes would again race here despite their $160,000 purse and insurance costs. Thunder scaled back to Grand Prix boats that had a $50,000 price tag, but even that proved unfeasible.
"We thought we would have an (American Power Boat Association) Grand Prix boats race," said Sawyer. "We wanted to bring in a couple other classes of boats, too. But we made the decision we're going to have an event without boats."
Unlimited driver Steve David, who won Thunder in 2005, said earlier this month that once a race is gone, it could be gone for good.
"Sometimes when you lose something like this, you never get it back," he said.

There were restrooms at the sites and the guide gives us enough time for picture taking. All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. You will enjoy it.

This tour was a great way to see Tuscany and wine country on a day trip from Rome. Our tour guide was Gio, and she was wonderful! She was informative, and gave a nice balance of history and fun facts. The lunch at the winery was great, and the wines were reasonably priced. On the way back to Rome Gio gave some great recommendations for dining and sites to visit! I wish we met her earlier during our time of Rome, her recommendations were spot on! Overall the tour was relaxing, with a decent amount of bus time that was scenic. It was nice relaxing on the bus after many previous days of running around rooms all day all night. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get a taste of Tuscany.

We loved this tour! Stephanie and Manuelle were great tour guides! Stephanie shared historical stories on the sites we were driving by, while Manuelle entertained us with the espresso rules of Italy. Both guides were very kind and were available for any questions, whether it was related to restaurant recommendations, taxis, etc.
While we didn't get a chance to climb Mount Vesuvius it was raining super hard so they had to close the park, we were able to go to the National Archeological Museum of Pompeii instead. We would have loved to have climbed Mount Vesuvius, but nothing anyone could do about the weather. By the time the afternoon rolled around, the same came out and we were able to enjoy a wonderful tour of Pompeii.
Having the whole day planned out and having tour guides point out historical sites was so worth it! We highly recommend doing this tour!

I went on this day trip with 2 friends. Our leader was Melanie and she was lovely ,so friendly and helpful .
We got on the bus ,and were entertained the whole way by Melanie and Eleana and Mariuz the driver ,were told the history of the area and funny stories.
When we got to Pompeii ,we had a local guide with 40 years experience ,Ginero or Genero not sure of spellng.He was so passionate and knowledgable and really gave is a proper idea about what it would have been like in 79 ad.
Lunch was lovely .
The trek up Vesuvius was harder than I thought It was going to be especailly after just eating a pizza but the views were amazing and I really enjoyed it.
Over all this trip was fantastic ,we definately got more than our moneys worth ,Melanie and Eleana were full of info and entertaining andthe bus driver was brilliant negociating all those bends.
Would highly recommend!!

Ahh, where to begin...this tour was the highlight of my trip for sure. First, the tour guides, Stephanie and I can't remember the other lady's name were very pleasant and passed the time well with information about the destinations as the picturesque bus ride went along. They did this periodically and it was not excessive so you had time to have conversations with others on the tour or just to relax. The tour of Pompeii was not conducted by the tour guides that were on the bus, but the lady that did this tour was also very nice, funny and knowledgable. Lunch was good, the bus tour guides gave a nice story of the area that tied it nicely together with the menu for lunch and the flavor was pretty good. The Mount Vesuvius hike was surely the high point, pardon the pun, of the tour...the views were just stunning. I will say that they aren't lying when they say that it requires some physical fitness. I was able to make it to the furthest point of the path up the volcano but I wouldn't describe the hike as easy. There are 3 stopping points on the hike and the views from each are equally nice, you don't lose much by not making it all the way to the top, so if you don't make it you certainly have not been cheated. Do yourself a favor and make this tour a priority if you are in the area!!!

Lindy was an excellent tour guide! She made the day so fun! The lunch at the winery was incredible and so much more than I ever would have expected! This day was the highlight of our trip to Rome. Tuscany is so breathtakingly beautiful!! Don't hesitate-book this tour-it was well worth the money! It was great to get out of Rome for a day and just relax and enjoy the beautiful sites of Tuscany. Our pictures were priceless.

Brilliant experience!! Was debating whether to do such a long trip during a short break to Rome 5days however the 3 hour coach ride there and back was completely worth it! Was I tired at the end of the day..sure but the culture and experience was well worth it! Guides were fantastic, made the journey seem a lot shorter than it was, Roberts stories about old rome/Pompeii were brilliant. The lady guide was fantastic as well sorry forgotten name. Highly recommend climbing Vesuvius! Knackering but views were insane!

I highly recommend this trip! It was such a great learning experience. Our guide team was very knowledgeable and fun a great combination! Pompeii was amazing. I have been reading about it for years and it did not disappoint. The guide we had at Pompeii was also amazing! For amyone traveling to Rome I recommend booking this trip it more then worth the time and money.

This tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our tour guide Luca was incredibly knowledgable and helped create an unforgettable experience from his outstanding knowledge to his jokes and charm. the organisation of the tour was great with smooth transitions between trips and coach journeys. The archaeologist at Pompeii was also fantastic with his explanations and engaging content as we were guided through the ancient city. The included meal was also delicious and was far larger than expected. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

We were so glad we chose to go on this trip. First, our guides were so knowledgable and fun! And the guide at Pompeii was awesome! It was amazing to see a whole town preserved! The climb to Vesuvius wasn't too bad because it's a short hike and the view was beautiful. The bus ride was fun too!

This has been a dream for many years to visit Pompeii, and being able to go to the volcano made it even better. The meal we were served for lunch was plentiful, and the tour guides were VERY entertaining and knowledgeable.

Luca and Hector were brilliant. They had loads of information to pass on, and explained about the sights as we traveled to Pompeii.
What this booking doesn't say is that your lunch is included in the price, and the restaurant we stopped at was lovely and cool.
This trip is more than worth it's money, but be aware the climb to Vasuviouse is hard going, especially if your not super fit, but worth it for the views alone. Would I recommend this trip....YES!

We took this tour with CityWonders. I can not recommend this company enough. Our guide was Antonella, and she partnered with another guide, Elena. They were both fantastic. They were knowledgeable about everything it seemed. They gave us facts during our bus ride about the places we were passing. They knew a lot about Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. They kept us entertained with fun anecdotes and stories throughout the trip. The 3 hour bus ride was broken in half with a 20 minute food/bathroom break. There was a local guide, Lena, at Pompeii that took us through the site, who was also very knowledgeable and entertaining and made the most of our short time there. The lunch at the restaurant was fairly well organized, for Italy. Italians I found work at their own pace. Our bus driver Alberto was amazing. It was a little scary taking the small rode up to Mount Vesuvius, be he did a wonderful job. The climb up to the top was difficult. The only thing I would say is that it would have been nice to have a little longer at Mt. Vesuvius. Overall though, everything was great.

Our guide Alfreddo provided a good level of information both on the bus and at the villas. We also had plenty of time to enjoy both villas. The free time in Tivoli was sufficient to visit one of the good places for lunch, or to view the town. The two villas are completely different and equally worth visiting. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Doing what: Tivoli Day Trip from Rome: Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa

Nets shooting guard Anthony Morrow paid tribute to former Nets star Drazen Petrovic by wearing the late NBA player's jersey at the Three-Point Contest Saturday.
Morrow said he had the move planned for a while. "I instantly thought, 'If I get chosen, I'm going to wear his jersey,'" Morrow said this weekend.
He added, "It was something I always thought about in the back of my mind. I didn't make it last year, and this year, I did, so I said I would take advantage of it if I had the opportunity."

Re: Season FOUR OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread
I watched "Family" yesterday. And while the remastered FX on this project are what most people seem notice (and rightfully so), for me it's really location heavy episodes like this that show off how worthwhile this whole project is.

That in my book easily makes up for some messed up lighting passes and stuff like that.

A key play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game cost the New England Patriots both the ball and the services of running back Stevan Ridley. Ridley was ruled to have fumbled after a helmet-to-helmet collision with Ravens safety Bernard Pollard early in the fourth quarter, and Baltimore's Arthur Jones came away with the ball. Ridley was on the ground for more than a minute, as he apparently was knocked out. He eventually walked off the field on his own, though he didn't return to action. The fumble was upheld after a challenge by the replay official. Ridley lowered his head and appeared to initiate the contact. As he was going to the ground, his right knee knocked the ball from his hands. It was a very close call whether his backside or his calf hit the ground before the ball came loose. Referee Bill Leavy told a pool reporter: "What I saw was the receiver was going to the ground, had both legs off the ground, no body part was on the ground. The ball hit his knee and dislodged ...
