The Lost Parking Ticket
[Image: "Text"]
I was out looking for garbage on a windy Wednesday. There was a lot of stuff caught in the hedges along the Cathedral of Learning lawn. I saw something promising and I picked it up. It was a parking ticket. I thought that this would make a great devotion. The ticket was dated for that Wednesday. The description of the car read: brown, four-door, Chrysler. I looked across the street and saw a car that matched the description. Even the license plate matched the ticket! I trotted across the street and placed the ticket back under the windshield wiper. Boy! Was that guy lucky I came along. Otherwise, the owner of the brown Chrysler would have never known about the ticket, and it would have probably remained unpaid to this very day.
Anyway, I kept walking along finding some good garbage to write devotions about when all of the sudden there was another ticket! I rushed toward it hoping that I could once again repeat the good deed performed for the owner of the brown Chrysler. (I hope the owner of the brown Chrysler isn't reading this. Who owns a brown car anyway? This car was brown, brown too--not cool frost or metallic brown.) I picked up the ticket. It was dated for the day before. Oh, well. But wait! The description of the car said that it was a red, two-door Chevy. I looked around and saw one parked right on the sidewalk leading up to the Cathedral of Learning. That must be the one! Alas, the license plate number did not match. The ticket could not be returned to its rightful owner.
Then I began to wonder aloud, "What's going to happen to the owner of the red, two-door Chevy? The owner of the red, two-door Chevy won't be able to pay the ticket." Students started looking at me the way they look at mentally ill people who talk to themselves out loud; so I scurried back to the Lutheran University Center with the rest of my garbage where I could ponder the fate of the owner of the red, two-door Chevy. I have in my possession a parking ticket with a $54.00 fine. The owner of the red, two-door Chevy may never know about the ticket until the owner of the red, two-door Chevy gets another one or perhaps gets so many that the owner of the red, two-door Chevy gets hauled off to jail. Maybe the owner of the red, two-door Chevy didn't know that place where the car was parked was a no parking zone. The owner of the red, two-door Chevy may not even know that the ticket could possibly exist. More probable, however, the owner of the red, two-door Chevy thought that parking there for a few minutes would go unnoticed. The owner of the red, two-door Chevy goes about to this day believing that there was success in this small game of chance. Whatever the frame of mind of the owner of the red, two-door Chevy, that person is guilty. The intent of the crime is not important. Ignorance of the ticket will not acquit the person of guilt.
God doesn't go around issuing "sin tickets" every time we sin against God or neighbor. If God did, I would probably have one right now taped to my forehead for making of people with brown cars. If God did, we would all have tickets pasted to our foreheads, the backs of our heads, on our shoulders and eventually all over. For some of the tickets we could easily admit our guilt, but for others we would plead not guilty and protest God's judgment. Still others might perhaps go unnoticed or even get lost among the myriad of tickets sticking like feathers to our bodies. Ignorance, agreement, or disagreement would not be the issue. Guilt would be the issue. We would, like it or not, be guilty of the sin. Paul tells us plainly in Romans chapter that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. No kidding! Of course we all have sinned. Of course we have all been opportunistic and self-serving to the detriment of others. Everyone has. Everyone bears the guilt of sin.
I once got a parking ticket from a Pitt police officer. I was returning a book to the library. All I had to do was run in and run out. There were no parking places in the immediate vicinity of the door; so, thinking myself above the law for the sake of convenience, I doubled parked. I jumped out of the car and made a dash for the library. An air horn barked and a siren chirped as I ran through the doors. Ten seconds later I was back, and there was an officer issuing me a ticket. She was irritated. "Didn't you hear my air horn?" I put my best "sheepish" face on, "I didn't realize that it was for me. You hear those things all the time around here. I learned to ignore them. Sorry about that." She softened up a little, "Look. Somebody called and wanted these cars cleared out. I have to give you a ticket, but show up and court and I tell the judge to go easy on you." "Thanks," I said.
The court date came and I went before the judge. She asked me how I wanted to plead. In order to get out of the paying the full fine ($96.00) I had to plead not guilty even though I was. She asked the officer to tell her side of the story. The officer accurately recounted the event and told the judge that I was very polite about the whole thing. The judge looked at me. "Do you have anything to say?" What could I say? I was guilty. I croaked out, "No." The judge grabbed her gavel and banged it down while proclaiming, "Not guilty!" Go in peace and serve the Lord! I was off the hook entirely. The most I had hoped for was a reduction in the fine. I didn't have to pay anything. I was literally Scot-free! (Pun intended.) I have never doubled parked since... I don't think.
We are all guilty before God. The penalty is death. This death is more horrible than a cessation of physical function. This death is life diminishing in our daily relationships with those around us. This death separates us from the ones we long to love, from our true selves, and from God. The Good News is we have an advocate. Like the officer who testified before the judge on my behalf, Jesus stands before God on our behalf and tells God the event just like it happened. Jesus tells God that he loves us and wants to be with us even though it cost him death. Jesus tells God that not even death cannot separate us from the love he has for us. Jesus tells God that he lives to love us and to love us forever even when we are not polite about it. God declares us not guilty! "Not guilty" is proclaimed and we are released from death to love our neighbor, to love God, and to be our true loving selves. Jesus looks at us in love and says, "Go in peace and sin no more."
We will sin again. That is the pervasiveness of sin and the human condition. But we struggle on relying and God's promises to love and forgive us. We struggle on having faith that the Holy Spirit will cause to grow in love and service.
Pray and give thanks for God who will always love and forgive you.
Christ's Peace,
Pastor Scott

Obama's decision to send 1,200 National Guard troops to patrol the border is regarded as insufficient by conservatives and even the mainstream media. But it's also alienating his liberal base, the New York Times explains, as immigration advocates are peeved:
[Obama] has confounded allies who say he is squandering his chance to address it in a comprehensive way. …
They said that in focusing first on border security, Mr. Obama might be giving up his best leverage for winning approval of broader but more politically contentious steps to address the status of the millions of immigrants already in the United States illegally, and the needs of employers who rely on their labor.
"I'm trying to reconcile the stated belief of this president when he was a candidate, what he has said publicly — as recently as a naturalization ceremony last month — and what his actions are," said Angela Kelley, vice president for immigration policy at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning organization that is a close ally of the Obama administration. "I think there's a big gap there."
She shouldn't spend much time on that endeavor. There's a very long list of broken campaign promises, she must know. Moreover, the fact that this interest in immigration is only coming up now should clue Kelley in to the president's underwhelming interest in fighting a touchy legislative battle on this issue. ("Since the beginning of his presidency, Mr. Obama has been dogged by questions about his commitment to immigration legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million people who are living in this country without legal documentation.")
This is not unlike the ObamaCare battle. He managed to infuriate conservatives and independents and also turn off many on the left who were only interested in reform if they got the public option. And it's not all that different from his dilemma on Israel. He bashed Israel to the delight of Israel's Arab neighbors while freaking out his Jewish supporters, whom he now must "charm." The result is that many Jews still don't trust him, and he's also disappointing his Palestinian friends.
It's quite a knack to alienate voters along the entire political spectrum. But Obama is showing how it can be done. It starts with running as a blank slate and allowing opposing groups to believe the president will be "with them." Add in lots of insincere rhetoric, a lack of governing skills, and a tone deafness to the electorate, and you have a president whose approval ratings continue to plunge.

In a review of Hole's performance at Washington D.C.'s 9:30 Club, the Washington Post savaged Courtney Love who apparently turned in performance that's legendary even by her standards.
The Post claims that throughout the entire show, Love's assistant Lisa stood center stage filming Love on an iPhone, obstructing the audience's view of the show. When the audience objected, Love replied "F*ck you, she's with me." She forgot the words to songs, played the same song twice and then she brought a fan on stage to asked her "Do you really like rock music? Because you're African-American. That would be like me being into Lil Wayne." So that's awkward. Oh, and super racist. Seriously, WTF?
And the entire set was over three hours. We're used to Courtney being crazy in public but we at least hope that she wouldn't bring it so hard to her paying fans. For the full review check out the Post's Click Track blog.

An inflatable nursing bib has an air tight bladder of a flexible, impermeable sheet material. The bladder has an upper and a lower mutually convergent panels peripherally joined by a side panel. An interior partition is joined with the upper and lower panels and is sized, shaped and positioned to secure a concave depression in the upper panel. A fabric jacket is fitted over the bladder. A strap is used to secure a baby bottle in place on top of the upper panel whereby the bottle is oriented in a nipple-down attitude. Opposing flaps extend from the jacket to secure the bib around a baby's neck.
1. An inflatable nursing bib comprising:
an air tight bladder of a flexible, impermeable sheet material, the bladder having an upper and a lower mutually facing, convergent panels extending between a bottom side and a top side of the bib, the convergent panels peripherally joined by a side panel having a left side and a right side, the left and right side panels diminishing in height between the bottom and the top side of the bib;
an interior partition extensive between the bottom and the top sides of the bib and joined with, and extending between, the upper and lower panels, the partition directionally aligned with the left and right side panels;
the left and right sides of the side panel and the partition each correspondingly diminishing in height between the bottom and the top side of the bib, thereby establishing the convergence of the upper and lower panels and forming an elongated concave depression in the upper panel, the depression having a shape and a depth as to cause a baby bottle laid thereon, and in alignment therewith, to move to a central position on the bib; and
an absorbent layer bonded to an exterior surface of the bladder in conformity therewith.

6. The bib of
The presently described inflatable nursing bib is related to baby bibs and similar items worn by babies during feeding to keep food drips from soiling and wetting baby's clothing. Traditional items of this kind are not particularly useful for solving other problems related to feeding and especially bottle feeding of infants. One problem with bottle feeding is that an adult is required to hold the bottle steady for the entire time while feeding the baby. In particular, the bottle must be held in a nipple-down attitude to prevent the baby from ingesting air. This results in hand fatigue and inconvenience to the adult. A further problem is that some of the liquid from the bottle may drip down baby's neck causing discomfort to baby and interrupting the feeding. A still further problem is that when a bottle is simply propped-up using, for instance, a baby blanket or pillow, baby's movements during feeding typically will cause the bottle to roll away from baby's mouth, so that the baby will cry out. A yet further problem is that when a traditional bib is used during baby feeding, baby's motions may cause the bib to be dislodged so that spills are able to dampen or wet baby's clothing. The presently described apparatus overcomes these and related problems as described in the following summary.
A baby bib may be constructed using an inflatable plastic inner bladder engaged within an outer jacket of a soft and absorbent material. The bib may be configured to cover the front of a baby and attached about the baby's neck. The inflatable bladder may be made of portions of plastic sheeting joined by heat bonding to form leak-proof seams to achieve a desired form or shape. Instead of a separate outer jacket, the bladder may have an absorbent material laminated on its outer to absorb spills. The apparatus may have an elastic strap to hold a baby bottle in a fixed position on top of the bib during nursing. The apparatus may have a further strap engaging a baby's legs or torso to hold the apparatus in place on top of the baby during nursing. A concave portion of the apparatus may be used to maintain the baby bottle in place and to function equally well for small as well as large diameter bottles. The apparatus may use a sloped top surface to hold the bottle in a nipple-down attitude so as to gravity feed the liquid to the baby.
These and other aspects may, in various implementations, provide one or more of the following advantages.
The apparatus is able to secure a baby bottle in place on a bib surface held in place on a reclining baby.
The apparatus is able to position the baby bottle in a nipple-down attitude to assure gravity feed of liquid flow to the nipple until the bottle has been drained.
The apparatus is able to be quickly inflated by mouth or a hand pump.
The apparatus is able to be deflated into a flat configuration which can be folded for compact storage.
The apparatus is able to be secured to a baby during feeding.
The apparatus is able to feed a baby without adult manual effort or attention.
The details of one or more embodiments of these concepts are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of these concepts will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements.
As shown in
As best seen in
Referring now again to
Embodiments of the apparatus have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Accordingly, other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.

Special to American Forces Press Service
ORLANDO, Fla., July 15, 2003 The refurbished Armed Forces Recreation Center Shades of Green on Walt Disney World Resort won't open till March 1, 2004, instead of the originally planned Dec. 15, 2003, date.
Unexpected construction delays caused officials to move the date back 76 days, according to Peter F. Isaacs, chief operating officer at the U.S. Army Community and Family Support Center. The Army serves as the executive agent, operating AFRCs for DoD.
"When we were on schedule, we began accepting guest reservations in December of last year," said Isaacs. "We sincerely regret the inconvenience this causes our customers and want to give them as much advance notice as possible. We are in the process of notifying those who have reservations and offering them other options."
Shades of Green General Manager Jim McCrindle personally signed more than 2,200 letters to guests already booked at Shades of Green, informing them of the delay. "We're genuinely sorry for the delay, but it was unavoidable," he said.
Guests who already hold reservations are offered three options:
The renovation and expansion project that began in April 2002 was driven by high demand that kept the original 288 rooms at or near 100 percent occupancy. The hotel is financially self-sufficient, and no taxpayer dollars are used in the operations or for the new construction. When it reopens, there will be 586 new or renovated rooms, 500 new covered parking spaces and 7,500 square feet for special events.
The current room rates of $66 for E-1 through E-5 will only go up $4 to $70. Other rates are computed on a sliding scale based on rank.
The Armed Forces Recreation Center is open to DoD ID-card holders in all branches of military service: active duty and reserve components, DoD civilians, both military and civilian DoD retirees, and their families.
"The information about our new opening date and reservations is on our web site," said McCrindle, adding, "The best way to make a reservation is to use the Web site as the phones tend to be overloaded."
For more information, access www.shadesofgreen.org or call toll free 1-888-593- 2242.

I think our journey of breastfeeding has come to an end. My daughter is 3 1/2 and I got my BFP last week. This is our second day of no nursing. She's fussed a little but nothing like I thought she would. I think it's harder on her than me. I'd love to keep nursing her, but with my loss in March and then being diagnosed with hypothyroidism I don't think I can risk continuing to stress by body by bf'ing through another pregnancy. I even wonder if breastfeeding through my last pregnancy and then tandem breastfeeding didn't help push my thyroid into failure. I'm been bf'ing and/or pregnant for over 6 yrs. Didn't want it to end this way, but I want to do everything I can to be healthy and keep this new little one healthy.
Mommy to Kai 2/03, Caden 1/08, Kara 10/09, 3/21/13, &

~We may not have it all together ♥ but together we have it all~
Hello! I'm new here and looking to feel a little less alone... AF returned when DS was 12.5 months old. We were hoping to catch the first egg, but didn't. I've been charting and it seems that my luteal phase has been a little short since AF returned, so I've been trying to cut out a nursing with each cycle. We are down to nursing two times per day, and I am in my fifth pp cycle. I'm hoping that DS won't have to completely wean for me to be able to get pregnant, but I'm starting to think that's what has to happen. Expecting to O any day now and keeping my fingers crossed that the fifth time's the charm!
Nursing him right now actually. The little snoozer slept 45 min later than usual for his AM feed.
It's so crazy how everyone is so different with AF and nursing. I nurse ALL THE TIME, and a few times a night, and I've had AF this time since 3m PP! I've nursed through 2 pregnancies and tandemed those 2x as well. I will probably do the same this time too, if LO keeps on. I always have to night wean when PG though.
I have a 8 month old & I have always wanted my first 2 close in age. Dh has been bringing up that we should start trying & I was excited but nervouse about how long it might take. I havent had a period yet. I had a short 3 days of bleeding around 3 months but nothing since. DD nurses 5-6 times a day, I was pumping once a day but now Im off work for the summer so I stopped pumping 4 days ago(yay!). At night just last week we figured things out(for now) and she feeds 3-4 times at night. Id really like to cut back at night. Ha!
Does anyone have any tips on helping to bring O back besides decreasing nursing & not loosing weight(from last month thread )?
I got a BFP on Friday! I calculate my due date as February 2nd... Groundhog Day. I want to tell everybody, but it's still so early. Husband didn't believe it at first. He is not used to looking at faint positives--I only figured out I might be pregnant with DD about 23 DPO and it was a very strong test.
So far no symptoms really. I feel like I might be peeing more, but I also might be drinking more water at work--I don't usually drink as much at home.
We joked that we should name the baby Phil if it's a boy and born on his due date, but it doesn't go well with our last name so we wouldn't really.
Still not feeling entirely real about the whole thing.
Congrats Erigeron

~We may not have it all together ♥ but together we have it all~
Congrats Erigeron!!
Nothing really interesting to report here...crampy & zitty...tadaaaaa
Still no AF for me yet. Congrats to the ladies with BFPs though! DS has dropped a night feed this week (athough he has a stinking cold and can't breathe well when he feeds so this may not be a permanent thing) so we'll see how June goes I guess
Married to Mr. Crunchy June 2008 ~ welcomed our beautiful boy August 2012 ~ another beautiful boy arrived September 2014 ~ breastfeeding, babywearing, co-sleeping, cloth bumming. I love my boys
Ready to be moved to 2WW! I've had a few positive OPKs in the past few days and my first high temp this morning, so I think I've finally ovulated (a little later than I expected this month)...
Congrats, erigeron!
Maybe I am getting somewhere - lots of EWCM the past two days, and a possible positive OPK earlier today. I may have taken it too early to truly be reliable, so we will see what tonight's OPK says. I noticed tonight that my nipples seemed sore while nursing - it almost felt like he was scraping his teeth against them (but he has no teeth yet, ha). For those of you that have ovulated, do you get sore nipples around ovulation?
^^^^Crossing fingers that is actual ovulation. Have you been temping at all?
Thanks for the congratulation. I still feel totally normal so I'm just kind of sitting around going "Well, I started to feel like crap pretty early on with DD, so how much longer until that starts?"
fishywishy - Yes!! My nipples get very sore around ovulation sometimes; that's part of how I knew I was ovulating again before AF returned (that and a positive OPK). There have been a few times I thought maybe we had thrush again. They seemed to get less sore after a few cycles, but it seems to be back with a vengeance this cycle... they've been sore for the past five days! And DS is teething and just wants to suckle forever when I nurse him before bed... sometimes I just have to take him off because it hurts so much (I'm guessing that's what I'll be facing once I get pregnant?), but I feel so bad.
erigeron - LOL! I remember wishing I felt like crap when I was pregnant with my younger son. Then it hit. Like a ton of bricks. Then I whined, "Whyyyyyy did I wish to feel like this?" Hoping you feel preggo soon (but not feel real bad, just enough to notice!).
Oh gosh jaxz! I didn't realize it could be that sore - sounds like "learning to nurse" soreness again! Eww. They're still sore today, even more so that yesterday. How long until you can test??
I am guessing it was ovulation. I may have missed the first positive OPK though. I tested on Thursday and it was negative. I didn't bother testing on Friday (although I had some EWCM that afternoon), we BD friday night. Then, I had copious amounts of EWCM on Sat morning (I don't *think* it was left over semen - didn't dissolve in water, didn't absorb in tissue) and the OPK was possibly positive. I say "possibly" because only one side of the test line was as dark as the control - I tested that morning and around noon, both were the same. I tested again last night and it was negative. It could have been my body gearing up to ovulate...but would I still have the sore nipples and EWCM dry up if ovulation didn't happen? I wish I had tested on Friday, maybe that would have been a dark positive. I wish I had been temping!! :)
Mine usually get sore the day before I get my first positive OPK. I get positive OPKs for two or three days (I get obsessive about it and test three time a day around ovulation), but I know everyone is different. Sounds like you might have missed a dark positive on Friday...
Hi all. Unfortunately, the pregnancy didn't stick. I've been feeling pretty blue about it, especially after the nurse practitioner I saw was so discouraging. She said it was possible the nursing disrupted my hormones enough to contribute to the mc, or else my age (39) means that I have insufficient hormones to support a pregnancy.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I've done some internet research, and most sources say that no link has ever been shown. Some sources do suggest that after a certain, there's a greater likelihood that nursing could contribute.
I'm so sorry. :(
So sorry for your loss, morningtide.

Jason Aaron and G. Willow Wilson coming to town
Emerald City Comic Con just updated their guest list, and I'm giddy. Giddy like Bendis the day his comics come out. You know who they are if you read the title. But yeah… Jason Aaron, writer of Scalped and G. Willow Wilson, writer of Air. My two current favorite titles at Vertigo (and yes, that is including 100 Bullets which only has two more issues left after tomorrow). Other names added? Kieron Dwyer is coming back, hooray!

Punisher War Journal (why did you not see it)
Punisher War Journal opened this past weekend… Making 4 million dollars. Yes, 4 mil opening weekend. It kind of scares me to think of what will happen with The Spirit. A comic movie based on a character not known out of the comic community and even in the community… I'd say half the comic readers don't know who he is. Not just that, but Frank Miller is not known as a director, and the hero is an actor I've never heard of. They're marketing it as directed by the creator of Sin City and 300. So yeah… Seeing what happened with Punisher War Journal makes me nervous. A comic movie directed by an unknown starring an Irish man from Rome. [Read More]

Who shall lead Vertigo
Y the Last Man ended earlier this year, and 100 Bullets ends in February. So who is going to be the new flagship for Vertigo? In the past, titles such as Sandman, Preacher, Transmetropolitan, and Y the Last Man have been called the flagship. Now? I'm not so sure. There are lots of great titles, but some I don't think could be it. The oldest book is Hellblazer, but that will never be considered one. Why not? In my opinion, it's because of the revolving door for writers. If ever there was a time it would be flagship worthy, it was when Garth Ennis wrote it. AMAZING stuff. I guess Fables would be the new leader of Vertigo. I love Air, but that series is way too young. DMZ is an amazing series too, but it just seems too political for me to consider it the front runner. Scalped? I want to say yes, and if you love 100 Bullets… This series is a good title to fill that void. It's a weird time at Vertigo, a lot of fresh new titles, but I'm just not sure who the leader of the pact is. I guess I [Read More]

I agree jfk. It's time to put this sham competition to rest. I'm just waiting for the Browns to release McCoy. Not for football reasons mind you, but because it would be PR nightmare if Weeden struggled, as many rookie QBs do, and McCoy came in and succeeded. I can't wait to read the BS statements of appreciation for all McCoy brought to the team when they let him go. I say show the kid your appreciation with cash and pay his full contract when you release him. It will be interesting to see who he lands with after the Browns release him.
I found the SI article interesting. They placed the Browns 8th among teams likely to turn to their back up QBs. What was interesting was this was predicated on the Browns still having McCoy, which the author doesn't believe will be the case, and Weeden missing at least some of camp in a contract holdout, which is clearly not going be the case now. I still think that Weeden could struggle trying to adjust to the NFL, a lot better QBs did their rookie years, and that's why the Browns FO will want McCoy gone. If McCoy were to come in and succeed with the improved offensive talent where Weeden had failed, the FO would be hard pressed to explain why they wasted a first round pick on a QB who'll be 29 years old at the bye week. They do not want to have to answer those questions, and they won't if McCoy's not here. That's why I think he'll be released. I'd like to see them pay the kid the $1.1 million he has left on his contract as a sign of appreciation for him being classy despite how poorly they treated him, but that would require them to be just as classy, and I haven't seen any sign of that from this administration.
From Kevin Hetrick of the Cavs blog, "Dion Waiters paced the team in scoring and assists. He also shot 30% from the field, struggling with converting from all ranges while racking up several turnovers." Doesn't sound like he was too impressed either, benny, but maybe he doesn't have your special glasses to look through.
benny, I'm not trying to argue with you. That would be pointless. It's clear that you have a closed mind and are threatened by logical arguments. I am happy for you to cling to your delusions, and wish you the best of luck with them. I would say that trying to get rational people to also buy into your delusions though is a fool's errand.
Whether Waiters looked lousy in the Summer League because he IS lousy or whether it was because he's just lazy/arrogant is irrelevant. At least a 1/2 dozen lottery picks found a way to make a statement in those games and he didn't. 6 players with as much or as little to prove as Waiters did took to the floor, and yet they all succeeded where he failed. It doesn't matter if they were hitting jump shots or dunks, they were getting it done, and usually in more than just scoring too. No matter how you try to make excuses for him benny, that's disconcerting at least.
I will state once again that I don't place a lot of faith in the Summer League or it's outcomes, but that doesn't mean you can completely ignore it because it brings some inconvenient facts to light either. I certainly hope Waiter's comes out of training camp looking like a player who was worth the #4 pick, but I don't think you or anyone else should take that for granted at this point.
You're right again benny. Nobody can MAKE you accept the reality of the situation, and if you are determined to remain willfully ignorant, not I nor anyone else will ever be able to change your mind. I would suggest that if you ARE determined to remain ignorant, you might want to keep it to yourself as it makes you seem unbalanced to the objective eye.
I agree. If the Cavs add a 6'6" SG like Shabazz Muhammad or a 6'9" SF like James McAdoo, I think people will be flocking back to the Q. If on the other hand the Cavs use their lottery pick to choose 6'6" SF Solomon Hill because that's what the ESPN metrics board tells them to do, they might not show up at all.
As for Waiters and his "it" factor, He'll have to bring it before I can evaluate it. I tell you one thing though, this is Irving's team. If Waiters wants to get behind that, great, but if he starts thinking this is his team, he'll become more trouble than he's worth. You see mike, I've seen Irving's "it" factor, and it's damn impressive.
Well benny, you make an excellent point. I suppose things would be different is a 1/2 dozen lottery picks were in the top 20 in the Summer League. I mean if you look beyond Lilliard's 26.5 ppg 5.3 apg, Lamb's 20 ppg 4.4 rpg, Henson's 18.3 ppg 6.8 rpg, MKG's 18 ppg 8 rpg 5 apg, Beal's 17.6 ppg 4.6 rpg, and Barnes' 16.8 ppg 5.6 rpg, there's no reason to expect a lottery pick to come out and play hard in the Summer League, is there? Your logic is as faulty as your data benny. If your a player getting paid the kind of money that Waiters is ging to be paid, then you don't get to tell the team when you're going to play hard, you're expected to play hard EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY, whether you deem it worthy of your efforts or not.
No benny, you shouldn't be concerned. It's not your job to be concerned. You're a fan and you have the luxury of caring about players when the mood strikes you. There's nothing wrong with that.
The FO on the other hand SHOULD be concerned, and VERY concerned at that. When a player demonstrates an unmotivated approach, whether it's summer league, practice, or during a regular season game, it's a sign that that player may have character flaw. That player may feel he doesn't have to earn what he has and doesn't put forth a maximum effort. I'm not saying that Waiters is necessarily that kind of player, but the FO had best be investigating whether he is or not. You know, the kind of effort they should have made before they gambled the #4 pick on him.
I appreciate your insight benny, I'm just not sure I agree with it. If Waiters isn't trying in the summer league because he feels entitled, that's a bad sign. I think that speaks to him being lazy and unmotivated, and I don't see that improving when he walks into camp and is gifted with the starting SG position either.
As for the summer league being a waste, as a fan I agree, but I'm sure the coaches and some players would disagree. The question is, if a player can't or won't dominate a league with inferior talent, shouldn't that cause some concern in the FO? You don't think so and you have a laundry list of excuses as to why not, but I think it should. The concern may be unwarranted in the end, but at this point denial will not make things better.
No interview, no physical exam, and no workout, and yet you select the player with the #4 pick? You are the team that's about to make this kid rich and you can't get this basic information? It's one thing if it's Davis and he doesn't want to workout for you because he knows he'll be gone before you pick, but Waiters had no such lofty expectations, so his refusal should have alerted the Cavs that there was something wrong.
It seems benny that you haven't been following my posts as closely as you should have been. I have said REPEATEDLY that I don't think you can get an accurate picture of how good or bad a player might be based solely on summer league play. What I AM saying is this, if a player is drafted #4 over all because he is a scorer, and yet that same player is unable to crack to top 50 in scoring average for THE SUMMER LEAGUE, it is a cause for concern. There's is always the chance that Waiters ankle and knee heal well, he gets into shape and becomes a good player, but that is more questionable with such a lousy performance against such inferior talent.
Yes benny, I would have preferred Jeremy Lamb. The same Jeremy Lamb who was 8th in summer league scoring average. The same Jeremy Lamb who is taller and has a longer wingspan, but it didn't have to be Lamb. I'd have been happy with Barnes too. The problem is, there are no do-overs. Waiters is who we're going to have on the roster when they break camp. I would like to hope that Waiters will justify his draft position but giving him a pass for the summer league is just ignorant.
Which is the very point I was raising, br. Will the Browns draft an ACTUAL franchise QB, draft a player for another position, or trade back and pick up more picks.
I'm wondering if you've ever even seen an NBA game cinque. Lin wants to start, and he's being paid to do just that. We have a starting PG in Irving and he's a great one. Lin is not a good investment for THIS team.
You haven't been paying attention, phil. I have said all along that I don't place a great deal of stock in summer league play, good or bad, but what happens isn't completely worthless either. You have proclaimed that Waiters will be fine, which I guess gives you some peace of mind, but a more knowledgeable fan has every right to question how Waiters can be expected to excel in the NBA when he struggles badly in the summer league. I think there's ample cause for concern, not panic, but concern.
I'm not saying that Waiters, or any player, can be accurately evaluated based on summer league play. What I am saying is that if a player is taken #4 over all in a very deep draft because he's a "scorer," and then that player cannot deliver against the inferior talent present in the summer league is cause for concern, and to just ignore that inconvenient fact is foolish.
While I enjoy a good Mark Twain quote as much as the next guy, but I don't think it's germane to the discussion. Statistics are applied to evaluate and compare players. Waiters was drafted #4 over all be a "scorer." If he can't crack the top 50 in scoring, (and it's not may not, he flat out didn't) against the inferior talent in the summer league, I think that very much calls into question the Cavs draft approach.
Waiters has a bad ankle they didn't know about, and knowing how bad that ankle was MAY have altered their draft approach. There was no reason at all for Waiters to refuse to workout for a team drafting #4 unless he had something to hide. That fact alone should have alerted the Cavs to be wary of him, but they ignored it. That's not managing your risks, that's just being reckless. Whether Waiters becomes a serviceable pro or not won't change the fact that their approach to drafting him was wrong.
I think Waiters will be in better shape when the season arrives, but the Cavs not being able to work him out but drafting him anyways has been exposed as a flawed approach. Waiters couldn't even crack the top 50 in scoring average IN THE SUMMER LEAGUE. If we go into the season without any major changes, I think we'll still end up in the lottery, just drafting later.
I know Mary Kay is thinking 6-8 wins, but if the pundits are right and the Browns finish with the worst record, what will they do? Do they draft a franchise QB like Barkley, trade back for extra picks, or do they draft another postion?
My feeling is if you don't have a franchise QB, and if the Browns are drafting first Weeden isn't one, then you have to take one when the chance presents itself.
Hollins to the Clippers? Great, another super team. I'm just hoping that Stern blocks this move in attempt to maintain league integrity.
I'm a little surprised by that. I was surprised that the Celtics were looking to include him in a trade to start with, since the last I heard was that he was playing well in the Summer league. I wish he was a little taller, but he was able to shoot .378 from the NBA 3-pt line last year in limited playing time. He's at least worth a look. I'm kind of surprised that the Rockets are letting him go.

10 LGU programs feted
Ten programs of nine local government units (LGUs) were recognized as the best local government programs as they were awarded the Galing Pook award Monday.
The LGUs that received a Galing Pook award included San Jose City in Nueva Ecija, Mandaluyong City (for two programs), Muntinlupa City, Valenzuela City, Dumaguete City, Iloilo City, the Municipality of Loboc in Bohol, Sarangani Province, and Brgy. Poblacion in Tupi, South Cotabato.
The Dinagyang Food Aid Program for School Children was jointly undertaken by the Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation, Inc., Iloilo Red Cross, and Rotary Club of Metro Iloilo in four elementrary schools in Iloilo City. Photo courtesy of Galing Pook Foundation.
San Jose City's program promotes farmer entrepreneurship and links San Jose onion farmers to Jollibee Food Corporation's supply chain.
Mandaluyong's winning projects include the Garden of Life Park, which combines a cemetery, columbarium, crematorium, and chapel in one eco-tourism facility; and Project TEACH, which provides special needs children from indigent families with access to free medical, rehabilitative, and educational services.
Muntinlupa City's anti-plastic initiative, Bring Your Own Bag, was also recognized, along with Valenzuela City's "3S in Public Service" program, which has streamlined government transactions allowing for easier procurement of business permits.
Dumaguete City was also awarded for its septage management system, as well as Iloilo City's tripartite management of the Dinagyang festival.
The municipality of Loboc was recognized for its initiative to improve its tourism facilities and services, while Sarangani province won for its QUEST program, which has improved the quality of education in the province.

Brgy. Poblacion in Tupi, South Cotabato, was also awarded for its Barangay governance program, which allowed the LGU to bring their services to the puroks, establish a conservation area, mobilize their resources and increase their revenue, ultimately allowing them to finance other development projects such as the construction of a bigger barangay hall, and a day care center.
"Effective local governance initiatives have embraced the wisdom and confidence of communities to have the courage to create. Each award serves to accelerate the growth of more innovative solutions to the complex challenges faced by all today," says Galing Pook Foundation chair Nieves Confesor in a press release.
Launched in 1993, the Galing Pook awards recognize innovative programs of local government units that have displayed positive results, empowered citizens, and improved service.
The awarding ceremonies were held at Landbank Plaza in Malate, and the awards were conferred by Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) secretary Mar Roxas. — Amanda Lago/KBK, GMA News

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
World English Bible
Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
Young's Literal Translation
Who is the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
34:11-22 Let young persons set out in life with learning the fear of the Lord, if they desire true comfort here, and eternal happiness hereafter. Those will be most happy who begin the soonest to serve so good a Master. All aim to be happy. Surely this must look further than the present world; for man's life on earth consists but of few days, and those full of trouble. What man is he that would see the good of that where all bliss is perfect? Alas! few have this good in their thoughts. That religion promises best which creates watchfulness over the heart and over the tongue. It is not enough not to do hurt, we must study to be useful, and to live to some purpose; we must seek peace and pursue it; be willing to deny ourselves a great deal for peace' sake. It is the constant practice of real believers, when in distress, to cry unto God, and it is their constant comfort that he hears them. The righteous are humbled for sin, and are low in their own eyes. Nothing is more needful to true godliness than a contrite heart, broken off from every self-confidence. In this soil every grace will flourish, and nothing can encourage such a one but the free, rich grace of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The righteous are taken under the special protection of the Lord, yet they have their share of crosses in this world, and there are those that hate them. Both from the mercy of Heaven, and the malice of hell, the afflictions of the righteous must be many. But whatever troubles befal them, shall not hurt their souls, for God keeps them from sinning in troubles. No man is desolate, but he whom God has forsaken.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 12. - What man is he that desireth life? Like most moralists, David begins with asking men - Do they wish for happiness? If so, and he assumes that it is so (comp. Arist., 'Eth. Nic.,' I. 1. - 7.), then he will point them out the way to it. And loveth many days, that he may see good? Mere life, mere length of days, would not suffice for men, would be no object of desire, unless it were assumed that the days would bring them "good" - in other words, that they would be happy days.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
What man is he that desireth life?.... Every man desires life, even a natural life; it is more desirable than all things in it; especially an healthful life, without which the blessings and mercies of life cannot be comfortably enjoyed; and still more a life of prosperity; life, with an affluence of good things, and even a long one: though it may be rather that a spiritual life is here meant, and a comfortable one; a life free from the remorses of a guilty conscience, from the fear of hell, damnation, and wrath; from the bondage of the law, and the dread of death; a life of faith on Christ, and communion with him; and a life of sobriety, righteousness, and holiness; and perhaps it may be best of all to understand it of eternal life, which is life eminently and emphatically; it follows,
and loveth many days; that is, good ones; as they are interpreted in 1 Peter 3:10; not of this life, for the days of it are evil, and especially when they are lengthened out; the days of old age, Ecclesiastes 12:1; unless the days of the son of man, the days of enjoying the presence of God in his house and ordinances, should be intended; though rather the good and many days of eternity, even length of days, for ever and ever, in which will be fulness of joy, and never ceasing and never fading pleasures;
that he may see good; there is good to be seen and enjoyed in this life, which if the saints did not believe they should see and enjoy, they would often faint; and this good lies in the participation of the blessings of grace, and in fellowship with Father, Son, and Spirit: but the great and lasting good to be seen and enjoyed is in the world to come, when God shall be all in all, be seen as he is, and the saints shall inherit all things.

Softball Hosts Virginia in ACC Opener Saturday
Feb. 28, 2014
NC State Game Notes | Live Video | Twitter Updates
RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State softball team will open Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play this weekend when it hosts the Virginia Cavaliers in a three-game series. The first two games of the weekend are set for Saturday, March 1 at 12 and 2 p.m. and will be broadcast live on GoPack.com/AllAccess, while Sunday's game is slated for 12 p.m. at Dail Stadium.
"It's conference time now, so we have to be ready to go," said head coach Shawn Rychcik. "Hopefully, we can carry this momentum from the last four games into the weekend. We've had a couple good days of practice this week and we'll be ready to go tomorrow."
It will be the first time that the Wolfpack (5-6) has opened ACC play against the Cavaliers (2-11) since 2009, when the squad won two of three to start the conference schedule.
Last season, State defeated Virginia four times, sweeping the season series in Charlottesville, Va., and collecting a first round victory over the squad in the ACC Championship. The Pack owns a 19-14 advantage over UVA in the all-time series.
Junior Renada Davis has really been on a tear in the last few games, as the Tomball, Texas, native has compiled a .474 batting average with nine hits, including three home runs in the team's last five games.
On the mound, junior Emily Weiman has been lights out in the last four games as she has collected the win and pitched a complete game in each contest. On Tuesday, she threw her second career no-hitter against St. Bonaventure with seven strikeouts. Hailing from Pasadena, Md., Weiman has tossed three consecutive shutouts versus IPFW, Albany and St. Bonaventure.
Last weekend, Virginia competed in the Mary Nutter Classic in Palm Springs, Calif., posting a 1-4 mark in the tournament. The Cavs lost three games to teams that the Pack has played this season also, Fresno State, Oregon and Oregon State.
Senior second baseman Marcy Bowdren leads the squad at the plate with a .407 batting average on the year, including two home runs and six RBI. In the circle, sophomore pitcher Aimee Chapdelaine collected both of the team's wins, but she has also been the pitcher of record for 10 losses. She has given up 53 earned runs this season in 44 2/3 innings pitched for an earned run average (ERA) of 8.31.

Food for Thought, the award-winning nonprofit program that helps Liberty Bell Middle School and Science Hill High School students who, for whatever reason, have nothing to eat at lunch time, will begin its ninth year of service today in the schools' cafeterias.
Founded in 2004 by former Science Hill student Audrey Cloyd, Food for Thought is open to any student regardless of their circumstances.
Be it "the richest of the rich" who forgot and left their sack lunch at home or a working high school student without family who wonders where every next meal will come from, Food for Thought provides a "student- friendly and very confidential" way for everyone to sit down and eat, said Suzy Cloyd, Audrey's mother and the program's volunteer director.
Approved by the Board of Education and supported by community donations, Food for Thought may be used by any student twice during each of the school year's four nine-week sessions. Because the program requires no staff and no operational cost, 100 percent of all donations are used to provide meals. And because the program is operated through the Johnson City Public Schools Foundation, donations are also tax deductible.
Every dollar donated is "a dollar less needed to balance the (schools') food budget" and a dollar that a teacher will not take from their personal funds to buy a student meal, Cloyd said.
Bonnie White, director of the Johnson City Schools Homeless Program that serves about 300 homeless students over the course of every school year, said Food for Thought often fills a void for students who are new to the schools and not yet entered in the cafeterias' computer systems.
"Hunger is something many people do not understand and don't believe exists in our community. This program is addressing a great need and making a difference for many students," White said.
Last school year, Food For Thought surpassed 15,000 meals provided since its start in 2004. Entering its ninth academic year, Cloyd said, "Food for Thought continues to follow its original goal and purpose, to help students in a time of need with their lunch meal, for any reason.
Also last school year, a couple of area restaurant franchises, Chick-fil-A and McDonald's, added their support for the Food for Thought program by donating meal passes to help students who go without meals after school and on weekends.
With recognition that "lunch does not stop on weekends, holidays and break periods," Cloyd said, Food for Thought expanded "beyond the lunchroom and into homes."
Local Chick-fil-A owner Tim Birchfield has already committed to continue his support for the program this school year and Cloyd invited other area restaurants to become involved as well.
White said, "I cannot tell you what a blessing it was to find those meal cards in my box right before Thanksgiving. ... Together we can make a real difference for these kids."
For anyone who would like to add their support to the program, donations for Food for Thought program may be made online at ffthought.webs.com or by mail to Food for Thought, 2717 Cherokee Road, Johnson City, TN 37604. More information about the program can be found at the website or may be obtained by calling Cloyd at 926-4755.
If there is a need or a project in your neighborhood the Good Neighbor column can assist with, contact Sue Guinn Legg at email@example.com, P.O. Box 1717, Johnson City, TN 37605 1717 or 929-3111, ext. 335.

Welcome to the explain xkcd wiki! We already have Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character ",". comic explanations!
(But there are still Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character ",". to go. Come and add yours!)
Latest comic
Title text: It's probably for the best. Since Roombas are native to North America, it's illegal for Americans to keep them in their houses under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Roomba is a brand of domestic cleaning robots manufactured by the company iRobot. The robots are designed to automatically vacuum floors. Although these robots are controlled by a quite simple software without any artificial intelligence, some owners tend to humanize them in the same way that others humanize their pets.
There are several other comics related to a Roomba:
Megan presents a pet carrier to what appears to be a veterinarian. She says that her "dog" is "crawling around eating dirt", which sounds like certain types of behavioral problems one encounters in dogs, but is precisely what Roombas are made for. What makes the cartoon even more hilarious is that when the vet comments that it is a Roomba, Megan responds that the device (which has nothing of an animal) is a hybrid, and agrees that it has "some Roomba" in it, this expression being a common element in conversation about dogs. The vet then goes on to say, with endless patience, that a Roomba is not a pet. This is taken by Megan as if the doctor said that the Roomba-like device is a non-domesticated animal (like a monkey, a fox, or the birds referred to in the title text) that can but should not be kept in captivity. In the last panel she consequently releases the vacuum cleaner and it whirs to its freedom.
The second customer has a dog on a leash but is also carrying a pet transporter which is clearly too small for the dog. Perhaps he has another small dog in there.
The Migratory Bird Treaty act from the title text contains a list of over 800 bird species that are not allowed to be captured or killed. If the Roomba were to be classified as a native American bird and were added to the list, keeping them as pets would constitute capturing and would be considered illegal. This, of course, shows how confused Megan is. She previously stated the Roomba to be a dog and now apparently believes it is a bird, even though dogs are not birds and the Roomba is neither.
- [Megan arrives with a pet carrier, Cueball stands at a desk as a veterinarian, and Hairy is waiting behind in line with a dog and a pet carrier.]
- Megan: There's something wrong with my dog. He keeps crawling around eating dirt.
- [Cueball holds the content of Megan's pet carrier.]
- Cueball: This is a roomba.
- Megan: Well, he's a mix. Probably some roomba in there.
- [The roomba lies on the table.]
- Cueball: A roomba is not a pet.
- Megan: You're right. It's wrong to keep a beautiful creature like this in a house.
- [Megan is outside left to a tree, encouraging the roomba to drive away.]
- Megan: Go! Be free!
- Roomba: WHIRRR

For those craving something more traditional, a classic pizza margherita is available, while a pie with thinly sliced Genoa salami is a tastier sibling of a good ol'-fashioned pepperoni pizza. The only combination that doesn't work at all features olives, capers and white anchovies; the result is one step removed from a salt lick.
The wine list is short but was put together with more care than you find at most pizza joints: There's a good range of Italian varietals, and while there are a few pricey bottles, most are affordable. Only a few beers are offered, but they're local and good, like the O'Fallon 5-Day IPA and Smoked Porter.
Service is St. Louis-standard, which is to say friendly but scattered. Someone cheerily implores you to sit wherever you want as soon as you walk in the door, but the open tables aren't always cleaned off. One busy Saturday lunch service found only a single server working, and she couldn't process credit-card payments. Diners had to wait for the cook to finish making a pizza to have their cards run.

One other drawback — though this is hardly the fault of the restaurant — is that parking is less than ideal, with meters along both sides of Olive and no off-street spots of which I'm aware. I mention this only to encourage those intrigued by the Good Pie but put off by the realities of city living to bring change for the meters or walk the extra block or two from a side street.
I can only hope that I will have to explain to my grandkids what a parking meter is. And Provel.

Okay, so I tried... to follow gluten free recipes and mix my own flour from this and that... I wound up with lots of different flours none of them getting fully used.
This stuff is great - easy to use, and you don't really need to think about it - makes gluten free baking and cooking at home much easier for us.

Great GF flour for baking. Slightly thicker than the rice flour in things like crepes.
Good Stuff!

I really enjoy baking with this flour mix. I've made pizza crust, pancakes, crepes, muffins, cookies, chicken strips, and more. It is great not to have to buy all different types of flours and make combinations for recipes. You can get a bunch of trusty recipes from the Bob's Red Mill website. I haven't been disappointed with any of them. One warning: This stuff tastes gross uncooked. You won't be eating chocolate chip cookie dough with this flour! But once baked/cooked, the result is very pleasing.

A just-released report from the bean counters at the Congressional Budget Office is getting lots of attention because the bureaucrats are now admitting that Obamacare will impose much more damage to the economy than they previously predicted.
Of course, many people knew from the start that Obamacare would be a disaster and that it would make the healthcare system even more dysfunctional, so CBO is way behind the curve.
Moreover, CBO's deeply flawed estimates back in 2009 and 2010 helped grease the skids for passage of the President's failed law, so I hardly think they deserve any applause for now producing more realistic numbers.
But today's post isn't about the Obamacare fiasco. I want to focus instead on some other numbers in the new CBO report.
The bureaucrats have put together their new 10-year "baseline" forecast of how much money the government will collect based on current tax laws and the latest economic predictions.
These numbers show that tax revenue is projected to increase by an average of 5.4 percent per year.
As many readers already know, I don't fixate on balancing the budget. I care much more about reducing the burden of government spending and restoring the kind of limited government our Founding Fathers envisioned.
But whenever the CBO publishes new numbers, I can't resist showing how simple it is to get rid of red ink by following my Golden Rule of fiscal restraint.
Here's a chart showing projected revenue over the next 10 years, along with lines showing what happens if spending (currently $3.54 trillion) follows various growth paths.
The two biggest takeaways are that a spending freeze (similar to what we got in 2012 and 2013) would almost balance the budget in 2016 and would definitely produce a budget surplus in 2017.
I also highlight what would happen if politicians merely limited spending so it grew at the rate of inflation, about 2.3 percent per year. Under that scenario, the budget would be balanced in 2019 (actually a $20 billion surplus, but that's an asterisk by Washington standards).
In other words, there is no need to raise taxes. It's very simple to balance the budget without extracting more money from taxpayers.
This means the Simpson-Bowles people are wrong. The Domenici-Rivlin folks are wrong. Senator Patty Murray is wrong. Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham are wrong. And (here's a surprise) the Obama Administration is wrong.
And we have some additional evidence. It's a chart taken directly from the CBO report and it shows that revenues over the next 10 years will be above the long-run average. This is because even weak growth slowly but surely produces more revenue for Washington, in part because it gradually pushes people into higher tax brackets.

I LOVE Laura's blog. She lives somewhere that most of us would only vacation to. Which is why it's so fun to read about her life and see what it's like when you live in a vacation spot like Cancun. And this interview, with all of it's awesome pictures, is going to be a fun read!
Name: Laura
Blog: Gringation's Blog
Location: Cancun, Mexico
How long have you lived there? 5 years.
If you moved from somewhere else, where did you move from? Why? I moved from Richmond, Virginia, where I grew up. What a change! I tell people I came to Cancun to study tourism, which is true! What I don't tell everyone is that I came here to be with a boy I was dating, who broke up with me two months after I moved. (cheating bastard!) Thank goodness he did, though! I'm loving it here, I've graduated from college, I have the best job, and I've been with the love of my life for three years.
What's the climate like? Friggin' hot. And humid. It's nice for a week on vacation, and I can go to the beach whenever I want, but I'm DYING to wear some cute boots or a lovely jacket! I'm also tired of wearing my hair up so it doesn't stick to my neck. Pretty hairdos and fabulous makeup don't make it past my doorstep due to my summery "glisten", so I'm only a rock star in my bathroom.
What are some of your favorite things to do during a typical weekend where you live? Usually I'll go out to nightclubs either in Cancun's touristy Hotel Zone or to one of the popular local ones downtown. We also go to the movies every weekend, which costs about $4 US dollars a ticket. We just got a new theater with reclineable leather love seats and small swivel-tables. AMAZING.
What are some of your favorite restaurants in your town/city? Favorite shops? My fave restaurant is Cheesters! It's this casual Italian place with bright yellow walls you can write on. They give you massive plates of pasta for $8, but it's enough for two hungry people. Basically, you can have a full Italian meal and a soda for 5 bucks.
I also frequent Starbucks about four times a week since my office is right across the street from one.
I have no favorite shops here because shopping in Cancun sucks. There's an awesome mall that I love to go to called Malecon Cancun, but everything is either too expensive or it falls apart after a week.
Suggest some must see places for an out of town visitor. Isla Mujeres: a small island off the coast of Cancun that has cheap but amazing restaurants and the best beach in the area (Playa Norte). You can rent a golf cart for the day and drive around. So relaxing and inexpensive!
Xcaret: a huge Mexican-themed park right on the ocean. It's expensive, but it's the best experience you will ever have. They have an underground river, a huge Mexican show, amazing beaches, crazy animals, great restaurants, a butterfly pavilion… awesome.
Cenotes: There are thousands of these things around here! Since the entire Yucatan peninsula is filled with underground rivers, sometimes holes in the limestone will form, forming natural wells that are great for swimming.
Tell us why you love your town/city. The near-constant sunshine is so uplifting, and there are bright flowers everywhere! You can't be sad here.
There's so much to do that you couldn't be bored unless you tried! There are also tons of great islands/towns nearby for quick weekend getaways.
Cancun is very Mexican, but thanks to the tourism there are a lot of American aspects as well… so I never feel too far from home. There are also tons of American expatriates, like myself, living here.
Anything else we should know about where you live? Despite unfortunate events happening on the other side of the country (thousands and thousands of miles away), Cancun is actually a very safe place for tourists. Just take it easy on the booze and check for red flags at the beach, and you'll be fine!
Thanks so much, Laura, for sharing your favorite things about Cancun with us!
