Peru Travel GuideWhen to visit Peru
Deciding when to visit Peru can be difficult because the country covers three major geographic and climatic zones. It is split north to south by the Andes Mountains and is covered by the Amazon Jungle in the east. The country generally experiences two seasons: a wet season from November through March and a dry season from April through October. Most leisure travelers come to Peru from June through September during the dry season, which is the best time for hiking the Inca Trail (a four-day hike that only allows 500 people a day) and Machu Picchu because the sky is clear. The dry season is also the best time to visit the jungle. For visits to the coast, however, the best time is November through March when the weather is hot and perfect for the beach. The country sees peaks in demand during the Christmas and Easter holidays. The city of Cuzco attracts many visitors for the week-long festivities of Inti Raymi in June. read more

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 1/8/13
Apparently when Jerry Jones vowed last week to make things uncomfortable at Valley Ranch, he wasn't kidding. Running backs coach Skip Peete was the first man overboard Monday, but the Cowboys followed that by firing defensive coordinator Rob Ryan on Tuesday. With his next firing, Jones could aim even higher. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that head coach Jason Garrett should feel comfortable about returning for a third full season as head coach. Jones disappeared immediately after vowing to make changes last week. It was a telling sign that he didn't attend the Cotton Bowl game between Texas A&M and Oklahoma at Cowboys Stadium because he normally would love basking in that scene. It would not surprise me at all to hear that offensive coordinatoroffensive line coach Bill Callahan is also gone in the coming days. And once Jerry decides to wipe out Garrett's offensive assistants, what's the point in keeping Jason? But first things first, the demise of Ryan might sound un...

Firefighters race to set up fire hoses this afternoon
CORPUS CHRISTI - Don't be alarmed to see fire trucks and firefighters using hoses Tuesday afternoon at the American Bank Center.
It's all part of the show.
Firefighters from around the state will be competing in a pumper race at 3 p.m., and the public is invited to attend and cheer them on.
More than 600 state fire marshals and fire chiefs have come to attend the five-day, 134th annual training conference of the State Firemen's and Fire Marshals' Association of Texas.
Organizers say the pumper race is one of the conference's most exciting events.
The event pits firefighters against each other in a race to set up fire hoses and get them going in the shortest amount of time.
The pumper race will last three hours outside the arena on Shoreline Boulevard.

text: Currently at USC, Ed Kozaczka studies eighteenth-century British literature, gender studies, queer theory, feminism, and imperialism. He received a B.S.E. in English Education from Mansfield University in 2007 and an M.A. in English from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2009. His current project traces a queer-feminist, counterintuitive genealogy of the eighteenth-century British novel, and it establishes a counter tradition to the imperial model of subjectivity that we now take as axiomatic to the rise of the novel. He has published in various venues on Jane Austen, Penelope Aubin, Laurence Sterne, Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, Frances Burney, and Edgar Allan Poe. He is currently working on a scholarly edition of Aubin's novel The Noble Slaves, which will be published in April 2015, and his proposal for a scholarly edition of Maria Edgeworth's moral tale, Angelina, has been solicited by editors. His second original manuscript will examine the relationship between torture and truth in eighteenth-century literature and visual media (from Aphra Behn to Marquis de Sade to William Blake), focusing on how different genres reproduce and deconstruct this problematic relationship and its connection to Enlightenment values. Ed is also the Associate Editor of the Arab World English Journal, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that reconciles Arab and Western scholarship. At the University of Southern California, Ed has taught first-year composition in the Writing Program and in the interdisciplinary Thematic Option Honors Program. He has also taught eighteenth-century survey courses at Los Angeles City College, Rhetoric & Composition at Binghamton University (SUNY), and Literature & Film at Mansfield University. In his personal time, Ed enjoys hiking, skiing, and writing reviews of Los Angeles drag shows.

Which Swiss train pass to buy?
My husband and I are traveling to Switzerland and Italy for 2 weeks in early May. We plan to fly into Zurich and head to Murren immediately and travel around the Bruner Oberland region for 6 days. We have already been to Jungfrau and Schilthorn and probably won't go there again this time. I am studying which Swiss train pass to buy and am puzzled. Is there no longer one pass which covers all travel in Switzerland, including cable cars and train travel in the Bruner Overland region? After 6 days in Murren we will head to Cinque Terra. But we think we may not need the remaining 8 days there. We could spend perhaps 4 days in between somewhere else. Does anyone have suggestions for an area to see within the Interlaken/Cinque Terra vicinity (or thereabouts) that we should not miss? We want to hike, and enjoy the land's beauty but we also want to sit and just savor life.

2nd Annual Homesteading Festival – Exotic Gardening Farm & Wildlife Habitat
September is International Homesteading Education Month.
In honor of this – and to show others what is possible on small acreage – we are hosting our second annual Homesteading Festival. This event will take place on Sunday, September 22, 2012 at 11am. Please see the information below for approximate times.
Instead of holding individual classes, we are opting to have a farm tour where you will see a variety of plants – including vegetables, herbs, fruits, flowers, native plants, plants that attract pollinators and interesting ornamentals. We currently grow around 5,000 different plants on our property – although not all of them are visible at once due to some being dormant.
Other things you will see – and get to learn about – include:
11am – Herbs and their uses. We will look at the various herbs growing and talk about some of the things they are used for.
12 Noon – How to garden year-round – both indoors and outdoors – in Indiana. You will see straw bale gardens, raised beds, regular in-ground vegetable gardens plus cold frames, frost covers, tunnel houses and various types of small greenhouses in use.
1pm – How to raise livestock (horse, sheep, goats, chickens) on small acreage. Bring your questions! You will see the areas where we keep our livestock and hear how we do it. We strive to be as organic as possible when raising them.

Price spikes in recent years and recessions are the inevitable outcome of rising competition from fast-growing developing economies for limited supplies. Domestic consumption among major producers such as Saudi Arabia is also soaring, reducing supply to others. While global production rose in the five years to 2010, global net exports fell by 3 mb/d, according to independent US geologist Jeff Brown. How much worse would you like it?
In the film No Country for Old Men, two lawmen find the aftermath of a drug deal gone bad, with corpses strewn about the desert. The deputy remarks, "It's a mess, ain't it, sheriff?", to which the sheriff replies: "Well, if it ain't, it'll do til the mess gets here."
Likewise, if peak oil has not yet arrived, what I call the last oil shock certainly has. It'll do til the peak gets here.

The next morning, I think this would be day 12, I started out from Arabba and went up the Pordoi again, but the opposite way this time. It is a really fun pass and I was glad to have it as my driveway in and out of Arabba.
From Pordoi I turned right and went up Passo Sella. Breathtaking views of dramatic rock massifs and fun twisty roads, sunny skies and cool, crisp air, what more could I ask for?
A cool little tiny car up on Sella Pass.
I came down Sella Pass in to a valley and then right up Gardena Pass.
Corvara en Badia
From Corvara I headed back to Arabba by way of Passo Campolonga.
Arabba in the valley from a different angle.
After a quick lunch I headed back out to ride the Passo Giau to Cortina and back by way of Passo Falzarego.
Cortina down in it's valley, from left to right.
I was back to my apartment in plenty of time to shower and get ready for dinner. Another beautiful day.

On day 13 I was feeling ambitious and planned a large loop that would take me over 8 passes.
I think on this day I was in the mindset of not stopping so much to take pictures and just have fun and ride the fun roads.
I also started to feel like all of my photos were starting to look the same, so 8 passes and just a few pictures.
Here is the route for the day. The pass that google Maps doesn't recognize is Passo Forcella Aurine between Passo Duran and the town of Gosaldo.
The list of passes for the day:
Forcella Aurine
San Pellegrino

And here are the photos from the day.
After this day I'm pretty sure I took more pictures again, Ive got a lot more in my smugmug, so stay tuned.

Wow, you really scored on the weather, and obviously came through a few days after us. I remember looking back at Stelvio on the webcam and seeing it snowed in.
Half these mountains in your pics, we never even saw them . But when the clouds broke it was stunning.
Great pics in here and I'm tempted to pinch a few for my personal collection to fill in some of the 'holes' in ours. I have zero shots of the Arabba side of Pordoi etc. when it's raining, the photos suddenly seem to stop...
I am curious to see where you went afterwards. We had to skip the entire Garda/Valpolicella region for another time.
I like that three ADVers from all over the place happened to be riding F800GSs here at around the same time.

Well, it was time to move on from the Dolomites though there is so much I didn't see. I will be back to this area at some point for sure. Everything about the Dolomites is like motorcycle heaven. The scenery, the people, the food, relatively inexpensive prices, the smooth, clean, winding roads, everything you could want. Sigh.
On the morning of the 14th day of my ride I left Arabba and went back up and over Passo Pordoi and down to the southwest. Just before the town of Molina I turned south on Strada Provinciale 31 towards Passo Manghen.
I had never heard of Passo Manghen, I just saw the road on the map going the same way I was going and it looked like it would be a nice route. As I started south I soon realized that this was different than any of the other passes I had ridden.
The road took me in to a thick forest and as it started to climb it became very narrow, down to a single lane. A narrow single lane at that. Being such a thick forest it was dark and the corners were all very blind, so you really had to be careful because any vehicle coming the other way was dangerous, even other bikes, because of how narrow the road was.
The road surface was very nice and it was very fun as long as I was careful in the blind corners. I climbed up some switchbacks and wound around and then the road came out of the forest.
In this picture you can see where the road comes out of the trees and you can see how narrow it is.
A few more switchbacks getting closer to the summit.
Just before the summit, a small lake
and the obligatory cafe, where I stopped for a mid-morning coffee.
There were several other riders doing the same. The sky was blue and the air was fresh and cool.
I bet this would be fun!!
At the summit there were several riders who had stopped to climb up a path to the peak where there was a cross and probably a beautiful panoramic view. I regret not stopping but I had just gotten back on the bike. I did pull over a couple of times a bit later to shoot these pics of the road winding down below me.
Whoa, that's a lot of firewood! Winters must be long and cold up here.
Down in the valley looking at what I think is the town of Telve.
A while later this shot near Cento San Nicolo. (I just now discovered that the "Places" feature on the iPhone's photo album has recorded exactly where every photo was taken. Very cool.)
Random shot I felt worthy of pulling over for:
A while later I came down around a bend and saw this castle in front of me on a hilltop (as most of them are).
It is the Castel Beseno which dates back to the 12th century.
Then a few kms later, this building. I don't think it's an actual castle but it looked cool.
And finally, my destination for the day, the town of Torbole on the north shore of Lake Garda.
Garda is Italy's largest lake and it's northern half is surrounded by mountains that channel winds up the lake and make for perfect sailing and wind surfing conditions.
I had time to walk down to the beach for a sandwich, get all of my hair chopped off by a beautiful Italian girl, relax and plan the next day's ride before walking down the street for pizza. Sorry, no pics of Italian girl. She was from Sicily and looked like Eva Mendez.
It was a very nice ride of 186 kms.

Well, maybe a couple of brief showers in Barcelona when I got back but I was in my room at the time between rides and they passed quickly so I never really had to ride in rain. Oh, and the day I went to Cinque Terre it was kinda overcast and drizzled a bit until mid-day but I was not riding that day as I took the train from La Spezia. That part of the report is coming up....
Feel free to use any pictures. I'm really pleasantly surprised at how well most of them came out. As long as you don't zoom in too much the iPhone 4S cam is great. I wonder if they made any changes for the 5 ?

From Lake Garda it was on south to the coast to check out Cinque Terre.
The ride from the north of the lake started out nicely, riding along the coast of the lake and past this castle, Scaligero.
The best view of the castle is from the lake, and since I was not on the lake, here's a pic from the internet:
After the castle I rode the rest of the east bank of Lake Garda until the traffic started to get heavy. I bailed to the east and made my way down through Mantova and then to Reggio Emilia. This part of the day was pretty boring and my least favorite section of my entire Europe trip. It was just flat and not very interesting. It was also very hot, so I was not really enjoying it much.
Once I got south of Reggio things improved quite a bit. The elevation started rising and the air cooled, the roads got curvy, and I was soon having fun again. How spoiled I had become!!
I took these shots of some interesting topography along the way.
And a cool looking village in a valley
And then this castle with a residential building right in front of it making it look like they had satellite dishes in the castle.
There was actually a narrow ravine between the buildings.
I then descended down to the coast and in to the city of La Spezia. My first impression of the city was not good because it is a fairly large city and I was not really sure where I was going. My GPS started playing games with me and I was going in circles trying to find my hotel near the train station. It was also hot again and I was sweating in my riding gear.
Here's the map of the ride from Lake Garda to La Spezia, 285 kms.

I finally found my way to the train station and then found the hotel where I had made a reservation. I was not impressed by the look of the place but I was anxious to get out of my gear and shower. The room was very small but it was clean and had everything I needed. It was also directly across from the train station. That would make it very easy to take the train to Cinque Terre in the morning.
After showering I walked a few blocks down the street and the neighborhood improved greatly. There were shops, restaurants, fountains, and squares. My opinion of La Spezia was going from not that good to very charming. I actually like the city quite a bit and spent a couple of evenings walking around the area near the station. Via Flume is the name of the street between the station and the Hotel Mary. There are nicer hotels in the city, I'm sure, but I was happy with the convenience of the station and walking to eat and explore at night.
I was impressed by this diagonal elevator thing and the fact that it was just there for the public to use.
(I live on a tiny island, we don't have city stuff like this )
Another public elevator. I wish I had found these before I walked up all those stairs.

Great pizza, terrible photo. I was trying to get a pic of the pretty waitress but she walked behind something. Creepy American, I'm sure she was thinking.
After pizza and of course gelato for the walk home, I went to bed nice and early to rest up for all the walking and climbing I would do the next day. I woke up early and had my mediocre hotel breakfast, walked across the street and got my combo train ticket and pass for the walking paths at Cinque Terre. A short train ride later I was at the first of the five villages. For ten euros you get unlimited train rides between villages and/or you can walk the paths along the seaside cliffs from village to village (some have been closed, some are really, really far).
I have many, many photos from Cinque Terre, I will narrow them down to what I think is the best of them. If you get the chance, definitely check it out.
From Wiki:
The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia. "The Five Lands" is composed of five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Over the centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible corporate development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. The Cinque Terre area is a very popular tourist destination.
The day I visited the sun was not out so you can't see the beautiful blue color of the sea. Google Cinque Terre and you will see some good ones.
Here are a few of mine.

Great to see the Dolomite climbs. I did a push bike trip there in 2011 and stayed at Bormio and did Stelvio and Passo Giau. Then we also stayed at Arraba for 3 days and did the Sella Ronda which is the name of the loop you did coming back through Campolongo. Hard work on a bike cycling but the views made up for it! Wished I had my motor bike ( I'm from Australia). Your photos great for an iPhone. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

From La Spezia I went northwest and up into the coastal mountains. This is a beautiful area and some of the best riding was during these next couple of days.
I didn't take too many photos, but here are the towns I went through in case the stupid maps link doesn't work again:
From La Spezia up to the Passo del Bocco. On the way I took this photo looking back towards the coast.
I then continued on to Carasco, Gattorna, Laccio, Bussala.
Between Bussala and Campo Ligure I took these shots.
The weather, scenery, and roads were all perfect.
Campo Ligure is an old city with narrow streets and the Spinola Castle from the 14th century (I think).
Now that I am reading a bit about it I wish I had spent a little time looking around, but I did not.
I took these quick shots without getting off the bike and continued.
From Campo Ligurne I went south to Masone then west to Sassello.
Along the way I took these photos of the mountain scenery.
From Sassello I made my way down to the coast, passing through the towns of Pontinvrea, Altare, Bormida, and Bardineto before reaching my destination for the night, Albenga.
I took no photos of the town or the beach, only this pizza.
After pizza I walked around a bit, found a gelato shop, and walked back to my room.
This was a great day of riding, and I slept well in my small room. The shower was nice, I think the bathroom was as big as the bedroom, but it was all I needed for the night. The hotel is called Marisa, just a couple of blocks from the beach with reasonable rates.
The route this day was 339 kms. Check out the link (hopefully it shows the route)

we went through the opposite way, from Campo Ligure towards Voltaggio and then on to Busalla.

Above is the map for the next day, day 18 since I picked up my bike in Barcelona.
This day I left Albenga on another perfect blue sky morning and went northwest from the coast and was quickly back in the mountains.
Somewhere up in these mountains, and I can't remember specifically where, I was stopped as I came around a corner by a few men with walkie-talkies and a big white truck. They had ribbon across the road to stop traffic. One man walked up to me and started saying something in Italian, I nodded and said "English?" He waved to another guy who explained that they were testing the road for an upcoming rally and that I would be able to pass in just a few minutes. I took off my helmet and ear plugs and I could hear the rally car speeding on the narrow mountain road below me. The engine got louder and then appeared as it rounded a corner. It got within a hundred yards of us and did a hand brake 180 on the narrow, cliff-lined road. They did this a few times and then the car was gone and I was allowed to go. I never did see the car up close but for several miles I could see the tire marks where they had slid in and out of the corners. There were no guardrails or barriers of any kind to keep them from going over the edge if they made a mistake.
I took this photo somewhere near the area. This is up near Testico, fittingly.
I spent the morning alone in the hills, riding the mountain roads from village to village, making my way west towards the French border and beyond. I enjoyed the panoramic views, the old villages that look unchanged for hundreds of years, the perfect weather, and of course the twisty roads.
Some of the roads got quite rough and narrow up high where there was some sort of tree planted and farmed. If anyone knows what those might be please post. The trees were small but stout, the soil was reddish brown and dry. There was no sign of any fruit on the trees but may have been out of season.
There was also a lot of people searching for mushrooms in the hills in this area. I passed through one small town that even had a mushroom statue. Now that I think about it, I think that was the day before in the mountains north of Albenga, Italy. I was having a sandwich and a Coke at a little cafe and there were some old Italian guys that were showing off their box of big mushrooms.
Anyway, on to the report for today.
These are from somewhere between Borgomaro and Carpasio.
Then heading towards Montalto Ligure.
I'm having a hard time remembering exactly which photo goes with which village because the location feature on the iphone is sometimes off a bit.
If anyone knows and sees something incorrect feel free to correct me. It's been a while now so I'm going by memory and.... what was I talking about?
I'm pretty sure this is Bajardo
A very old and small church in the mountains.
Border crossing in to France. There was a very small building, now abandoned.
I stopped for lunch in Sospel, France at a little outdoor cafe on the river.
After lunch I left Sospel and went south to the coast and Menton. This route takes you down beside a beautiful gorge which I neglected to stop and photograph. I got to the coast and almost made a u-turn. It was just so congested and compact that I almost decided to head back up in to the mountains. It was hot on the coast as well. I wanted to see Monte Carlo and I planned to spend the night in Nice, so I continued down the coast.
Here is Monte Carlo from above.
I had imagined finding a nice little place to stay in Nice, in my mind it was quaint and peaceful. Those places may exist but what i found was a sprawling crowded city. I was sweating and the traffic was thick. I just wanted out.
I pulled over and broke out the maps (much easier than trying to search on the GPS). I decided to go north and away from the crowded coast.
I got lucky, as I seemed to do over and over on this trip, by choosing to go to Vence. By this time I was very tired and hot and would have settled for anything. I found my way to the town and the Hotel Diana.
I had no idea but Vence is the sight of a medieval walled city, and the hotel just happened to be a few blocks from it.
I checked in, parked in the underground garage, and went upstairs to get out of my hot riding gear. I showered and took a walk to check out the sights and have dinner.
Here's the view from my room at Hotel Diana.
And from the rooftop area which has a hot tub, looking south to the coast.
A few shots from the city.
Despite the nightmare traffic and heat of the coast, this was another great day of riding in Europe.
I had a great dinner, chatted with a British mom and daughter, and walked back to the room.
I was nearing the end of my trip, but I still had some great riding ahead of me....

Whatever Happened To Sonny James
Country Music is loaded with legendary monikers. 'The Drifting Cowboy'. 'The Storyteller'. 'Whisperin' Bill'. 'The Red Headed Stranger'.
And then there's 'The Southern Gentleman'.
Sonny James wasn't always Sonny James of course. Nope. he was James Loden from Hackleburg, Alabama. He got an early start in his chosen career, singing and playing a mandolin by the age of 3!
It was 1956 when Sonny released 'Young Love' and that song has lived forever. But wait, that was only the start, the start of what would become an amazing music career.
Beginning in 1967 with 'Need You' and running right through 1971 and 'Here Comes Honey Again', Sonny James had 16 straight #1 country hits.
No, that's not a misprint. 16 consecutive #1 country hits. You know what you call that? You call that…'WOW'!
And just as an 'aside'…did you know Sonny James produced Marie Osmond's first three albums? Yep, he did.
In 1971 Sonny received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1987 Sonny was voted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. And in 2006 Sonny was inducted into the prestigious Country Music Hall of Fame.
Sonny retired back in 1983 and on May 1st, 2014 this Country Music Icon will celebrate his 84th birthday!
Happy Birthday Sonny! And thanks for your great music, and hit after hit after hit!

"my son chose this design for his fifth birthday. its perfect! bright, fun and a bit mysterious like space should be. the back of the card has a place for a photo and a personal message for his friends to read. the invitations came so speedy, no stress waiting for them. we were excited to send them out because they are so cool."
"My birthday invitations turned out excellent with the help of the Tiny Prints Staff. I had to change the date of the event and their staff was very helpful and responsive. I couldn't ask for better service. Thank-you to the Tiny Prints staff!!"
"The colors on this invitation really popped; it looked just like I hoped it would as a printed invitation. I ordered these for my daughter's birthday, which is in November, so I wanted something that looked "fall-ish," but not boring. This did the trick. I received many compliments on it!"
"I used this card as a subtle Mickey mouse themed party for my 1 year old...bc of the colors...I put Mickey ears on him for the big picture and loved how I had space to write part of the theme song on the back (for those that needed further clarification :) I've been a big fan of tiny prints for a couple of years now and, once again, they did not disappoint! Beautiful and such a keepsake!"
"I used this invitation for my boy/girl twins' birthday. It's the perfect gender-neutral invitation. I also love that you can put a picture and caption on the back! It's a very bright and cheerful invitation!"

Joe Walsh Artist Bio and Lyrics
Born Joseph Fidler Walsh on the 20th of November 1947 in Wichita, Kansas, Joe Walsh is a renowned American 80's music artist. He was in two successful bands, the James Gang and the Eagles, and also had a successful career as a solo artist.
As a child, Walsh moved with his family to New York City, then to Montclair, New Jersey, where he would attend Montclair High School. He attended Kent State University, and would play in several bands in Cleveland, Ohio during this period. Then, in 1969, he would become the lead guitarist for a power trio called the James Gang. He became the band's main attraction with his innovative guitar stylings. In 1971, Walsh left the band in order to launch a solo career.
His debut album, Barnstorm, came out in 1972. Although it was well received among critics, it did not sell as well as it was expected to. His first commercial success came with the follow up album, The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get. In 1976, Walsh joined the famous band the Eagles.
The albums of Joe Walsh include Barnstorm, The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get, So What, You Can't Argue With a Sick Mind, But Seriously, Folks…, There Goes the Neighborhood, You Bought It, You Name It, The Confessor, Got Any Gum?, MTV Unplugged, The Best of Joe Walsh, Look What I Did!, Joe's Walsh Greatest Hits – Little Did He Know…, Ordinary Average Guy, and Songs For a Dying Planet.

We've yet to see any press releases detailing exactly what Motorola intends to do with these, but the imagery in its media database pretty much says it all; heck, two of the six even have monochrome displays (and no, they aren't e-ink, either). Four of the handsets -- the W156, W160, W175, and W180 -- do at least carry over the F3's wedge-shaped slim design, while the last two, the W206 and W213, look like they're straight outta 2003. We'll pass on this bunch, but if you want to send us a GSM 850 / 1900 MOTOFONE, guys, be our guest!

President-elect Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan hasn't created any new jobs yet, but the proposal is stimulating the imaginations of local government officials.
Obama said Sunday a short-term stimulus package is his No. 1 priority.
"We will create millions of jobs by making the single largest new investment in our national infrastructure since the creation of the federal highway system in the 1950s," the president-elect said. He didn't list figures, but others have said the package could be as much as $700 billion.
"Local governments are being squeezed so much right now," said Steve Fought, spokesman for U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo. "They watch TV. They read the newspapers ... It makes sense for local officials to start to get their proposals together."
Fought said before the discussion gets too far, officials will need to know what Obama has in mind.
He said lawmakers presume proposed projects will be scored according to various criteria. For example, it's likely a project will win points if it can be carried out almost immediately, as the point of the bill would be to create jobs.
Sandusky city manager Matt Kline and Erie County commissioner Bill Monaghan already have come up with public works projects that could be launched quickly.
Kline said the city has been talking about rebuilding Hayes Avenue from Columbus Avenue to the overpass. If additional money becomes available, the city could rebuild all of Hayes Avenue, all the way to Perkins Avenue, which separates the city from Perkins Township. Community block grants could be used to provide any needed matching funds.
Kline said he doesn't have an estimate yet on what it would cost to rebuild all of Hayes and explained he's only just begun work on the proposal.
Monaghan said when he asked county officials for construction ideas, sanitary engineer Jack Meyers suggested the Plum Brook Flow Equalization Basin.
The proposed 2.4-million gallon basin would be used after heavy rains to hold large amounts of wastewater from the sewage system, storing it until wastewater treatment plants can catch up with the backlog, Meyers said. The project would help the environment because, after heavy rains, the county has no choice but to release dirty water and let it flow into Sandusky Bay.
The cost of building the basin -- to be located in the back of a small park located south of Sandusky-Griffing Airport -- would be $2.8 million.
Plans for the project aren't done yet, but "I've told the engineering firm I'd like to have them done and ready to go out to bid in February," Meyers said.
If the bids were awarded in March, work could begin in April or May.
Kline said he's been told the federal government's Economic Development Administration would dole out the grants for the stimulus projects. The EDA awards grants to help local economies.
A few weeks ago, the EDA awarded Erie County $2.38 million to install a new sewer line along U.S. 250, from Kalahari to the turnpike.
Ordinarily, a big grant would mean Erie County would have to wait several years to ask for another, but the EDA is under pressure to award more grants and expects to get lots of new money soon, officials from the Poggemeyer Design Group in Bowling Green told Monaghan and the other county commissioners last month. Poggemeyer is now trying to pursue another EDA grant, for a new building for the county's planned 23-acre business park on Huron-Avery Road, just east of U.S. 250.
Jere Witt, county administrator in Ottawa County, said his county hasn't nominated any project yet, but could do so quickly because of its planning process.
The county's sanitary engineer maintains a five-year capital improvements plan that could be tapped quickly if projects were needed.
"You can be first in line because you're a little more prepared," he said.
Huron County commissioner Mike Adelman said the county hasn't heard from U.S. Rep Bob Latta, R-Bowling Green, yet and doesn't know what kinds of projects might be considered.
"I'm a little unsure about what the president-elect is looking for," Adelman said.
If Huron County finds it could get some money, he said "we'll do our darndest to pull things together."

Hornets extend Bobcats' skid to 18 games
Kidd-Gilchrist outplayed former Kentucky teammate Anthony Davis in the first half, scoring 18 points on 9 of 11 shooting.
"I had it going a little bit," Kidd-Gilchrist said. "That's going against my best friend, so of course it's special."
But the No. 2 overall pick left the game near the end of the first half after scratching the cornea in his right eye while diving for a loose ball.
He returned in the third quarter wearing protective goggles, but wasn't the same looking a little tentative and less aggressive. He had only four points in limited action in the second half.
"The thing with MKG that is incredible, and typical, is that he just played through it," Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap said. "He's a competitor and he gave us what we had and that was just sure willpower. Pretty incredible."
The Bobcats came in having lost 17 straight games, and the Hornets had lost 12 of their past 13 entering the game.
Charlotte jumped on the visitors early.
The Hornets led by as many as 21 in the second quarter before the Hornets stormed back to tie the game entering the final period behind nine third-quarter points from Greivis Vasquez and seven from Gordon.
New Orleans finally took the lead with 5:47 left when Anderson knocked down a 3-pointer from the right wing to give the Hornets. Gordon followed with another 3-pointer on the next possession and they'd never give up the lead.
It was a dramatic shift of momentum after the Bobcats dominated the first half. Charlotte shot 64 percent from the field in the first half and took a 57-40 lead at the break, outscoring the Hornets 21-0 on fast breaks and 38-16 in the paint.
"We stopped being as aggressive in the second half as the first," Kidd-Gilchrist said. "We weren't attacking."
As for the losing streak, Dunlap said "eventually we are our own solution. We can't look external."
NOTE: Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap picked up his first technical foul of the season for arguing a call during the third quarter. ... Hakim Warrick had his first double-double for the Bobcats with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Printable View
For a normal show or normal promo, a limit of 2 messages per person per promo. So that would give someone 10k characters to use. I know I use that myself normally for each promo for other efeds, and I know others use close to that if not a little more, and some only use 1. For PPV's a limit of 3 messages per person per promo. Now of course if you are doing a joint promo with 1 or more other people, it would be a combined amount of like. Like for instance, with the Shaz/Hawk/Smith promo, the limit would have been 6 pm's in total.
Now there would be on occasion those promos that the two people involved have a chance to make something really impactful. I don't want to name names but there are a few promos coming up between now and then that would qualify, and to me, in those times, you shouldn't have a limit, because it comes down to creativity and letting your ideas flow and making it all gel, and not worry about if your within a limit.
What do you guys think of that?
I usually do between 5k and 6k character promos, essentially 5 paragraphs of speech worth. I think for individuals there should be a 2 message limit, maybe a 3 message limit for pairs, and a 4 message limit for groups?
I take it like real life, a promo is cut to hit there points...I'm not saying anybody does talk a lot ,but a long promo overshadows what the person before said and what the next person will say. Because of the on and on and on they just did.
Mind you I'm thinkin about it as real life , imagine for somebody to do a promo so long that you atually would like to read some/hear some and skip the rest because basically the outcome is known. The point was already given, so why drag the subject.
Ya know what I mean? (Its Sunday morning, I'm in-n-out of it lol )
There is no point in limiting promos, just don't drag them out. If you can't cover what need to in under 10k characters (alone), which is a full page post wise then damn, you may be trying too hard to stand out. Over 10k should be done well with a joint promo, as more than two people can work well enough to do over 10k just fine.

I try to think of myself as a kind, sarcastic, hard working, athletic man. I value family/friends, new experiences, and knowing yourself most important in life. I am a lover of quotes to live by, random adventures, and anything sports related. Having traveled most of my life, i have learned to value experiencing new cultures, meeting a variety of people, and learning about myself through experiences. I really love to meet new people and hear about their experiences, every person I have met seems to have had an impact on my life and thoughts for the future. Most of my friends call me sarcastic, think of me as someone who will do anything for anyone, and know that I love to laugh. I have coached numerous sports and love to see people learn. Helping people gives me the most joy. I tend to give all of myself in a relationship. I enjoy working hard during the week but I like to come home and cook while having a glass of wine after a long day. I am looking to find someone who values friends/family, trying new things, and is comfortable with themselves. Honesty and an open mind are the most important things in someone I would like to meet. I don't like dinner first dates, I want to do something that is more engaging and gets the mind thinking. Like a walk down a city street, a ride on a bus, or just strolling through a museum. I really am looking for someone I can also be myself around, be goofy with, and share the little moments that make everyday enjoyable. The fun part of meeting new people is all the other information about them you can learn, so lets talk.

Love music with a good beat and good lyrics. Don't watch too much TV, would rather be outside going for a run or walking through a museum. Love to cook and try new foods, favorite would be Thai.
Love to live life, will try anything once and love to try new things. Sports(any type), rollerblading, and anything else that I can fit into my day.
Was reading In Praise of Slowness, its about the slow movement sweeping through Europe. Life is getting too fast and some things need to slow down, like bed time stories for kids and family dinners.

AdvRydr's 2007 Canadian excursion
We're about to leave (imminently, in fact, as soon as I hit 'submit new thread', and only about six or seven hours later than we originally intended :eek1) on an Eastern North American tour starting in Atlanta, looping up through Michigan and over the top of the Great Lakes, and down the other side through Toronto and other parts yet to be determined, with some time spent at Niagara Falls.
Our intention is to travel on the cheap, enjoy the local sights and color, and perhaps even meet some fellow ADV rider types along the way. If anyone would like to volunteer a night's worth of floor space, we certainly wouldn't turn it down :D
Tonight we will stop in the tiny town of Lawrenceville in southeastern Illinois, and if possible we'll post pictures then of our first day. If not, we may do it the following night, which we hope will be spent on the Canadian side in Sault Ste Marie.
No offense meant, but have you checked the weather for the North side of the Great Lakes? Some places will have temperatures in the -12C area and possible heavy snow fall over the next week!
If you're travelling on the cheap, avoid Toronto... be sure you've got your heated vest with you as it's still kinda cold here...
and let's have updates to this ride report :lurk
Yep you ride in it, I do, Paul Mondor does...
but we are used to it, and know what we are in for.
I'm a bit confused - starting in Atlanta, and they're talking about being in Sault Ste Marie already?
Where are they now?
Sounds like quite the ride though!
Still below freezing here, east of Toronto, at night.
Dress warm. :D
posting from cellphone from cup o joe in downtown columbus ohio,having decided not to take the northern rte around the great lakes. wx would have been doable for us probably today and tomorrow based on the forecasts weve seen, but if we were delayed a day enroute it seemed we might have a tough ride back south as colder wx moves in! so when we left lawrenceville il this am we headed east thru indianapolis and to columbus. we will stop this evening just short of buffalo, stay the night, and spend tomorrow in niagara falls. we are taking many photos, but no ability to post them yet. the ride thus far has been beautiful although we hit some storms last night coming thru ky into s illinois. will update later as we are able :)
thanks, but we honestly forgot. we will check it out.
again thanks.
Best O'Luck

Thanks zzr_ron for the weather report!
we are now cozy and warm in Niagara. The weather is perfect! and I am with the perfect person in a most perfect location.
The drive was spectacular.
For the gear heads out thereour average speed over the last approximatly 650 miles was 71.7 mph. Our average MPG was 42.2
pictures will soon follow
One bike or two? :ear
I'd think it's obvious given we are reporting only one mileage number :D For us it's about the trip.
We are here in lovely Niagra Falls still tonight, doing a little laundry in preparation for an early AM departure to the south. We have decided to go for Washington DC by tomorrow night, and spend Thursday at the Air & Space Museum, as aviation is near and dear for both of us.

NFL: Colts' Mathis suspended 4 games for positive test
Wire reports | May 16, 2014 | Updated: May 16, 2014 10:17pm

Photo By Dilip Vishwanat/StringerEARTH CITY, MO - MAY 13: St. Louis Rams draft pick Michael Sam addresses the media during a press conference at Rams Park on May 13, 2014 in Earth City, Missouri. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)
INDIANAPOLIS - NFL sacks champion Robert Mathis admits he made a mistake late last season.
Now it's going to cost him - four games and four paychecks.
The Colts' career sacks leader was suspended Friday by the NFL after violating the league's ban on performance-enhancing substances. What Mathis tested positive for remains a mystery but the linebacker said in a statement he was seeking fertility assistance.
He acknowledged he and his wife are expecting a baby.
"I am deeply saddened that this situation will prevent me from contributing to my team for four games, and I regret that I didn't cross-check what my doctor told me before I took the medication, " Mathis, 33, said. "I hope that my fans will understand the unique circumstances involved here and continue to know that I am a man of integrity who would never intentionally circumvent the performance-enhancing substance policy agreed to by the NFL and my union."
Mathis said commissioner Roger Goodell denied Mathis' request to not issue a suspension based on the circumstances.
If the NFL's decision stands, and they almost always do, Mathis would not be eligible to rejoin the Colts until Sept. 29. He is allowed to participate in the team's offseason workouts, training camp and preseason games.
The Colts quickly issued a statement saying they would support Mathis, one of the team's elder statesmen and most respected leaders. Mathis set a single-season record with 191/2 sacks last season and broke Dwight Freeney's franchise career record for sacks. In 11 NFL seasons, Mathis has 111 career sacks.
Movie about Sam placed on hold
The planned documentary by the Oprah Winfrey Network on Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly gay player, has been postponed.
Erik Logan, president of the network, said the postponement was made after meetings with the St. Louis Rams.
"After careful consideration and discussion with the St. Louis Rams, 'The Untitled Michael Sam Project' has been postponed, allowing Michael the best opportunity to achieve his dream of making the team," Logan said in a statement. "It's clear that we, along with the world, recognize the important opportunity that Michael now has in this moment.
"We will continue to support him in his journey to earn a spot playing for the Rams."
As a seventh-round draft pick, Sam will face hefty challenges just to make the Rams. Being the subject of a TV documentary could have been a major distraction for the defensive end from Missouri.
"This (postponement) will allow for Michael to have a total focus on football, and will ensure no distractions to his teammates," said Sam's agent, Cameron Weiss. "Everybody involved remains committed to this project and understands its historical importance as well as its positive message."
Panthers' Hardy turns in firearms
A Mecklenburg (N.C.) County Sheriff's spokeswoman said Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy turned over 10 guns to police as part of a court order.
Julia Rush said all the guns surrendered in Charlotte, N.C., were legal under North Carolina statutes. A license is not needed to own a gun in the state, only a permit to purchase and carry a concealed weapon.
The guns were an assortment of semi-automatic rifles and .12-gauge shotguns.
Hardy, 25, tagged as Carolina's franchise player this season, voluntarily surrendered the weapons.
Hardy was arrested Tuesday for assaulting a female and communicating threats. He was released Wednesday on $17,000 bond. As part of his bond agreement he was ordered to turn over all weapons he owns or has access to.
