The most amenities of any property in St. Maarten, 500-plus rooms -- and the crowds to match
The Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino is St. Maarten's version of the Vegas-style megaresort -- minus all of the flair and intrigue, that is. The behemoth 534-room hotel is almost a village unto itself, located along the super-touristy Maho Village shopping center and featuring two pools, three restaurants, a beautiful spa, direct beach access, a casino, more than 25,000 square feet of meeting space, and the island's most popular nightclub. What the resort doesn't have, though, is much style or finesse -- the grounds are adequately landscaped and the furnishings are well-maintained and clean, but overall this 10-acre property has a ho-hum personality, and massive crowds create an atmosphere that is anything but tranquil.
At least there's no shortage of activities and choice when staying at Sonesta Maho. Three restaurants include a beachfront grill, a buffet eatery, and a fine dining option. And two drastically different pools accommodate different types of travelers: At the main Oasis Pool, the grounds are rather lush, and the atmosphere is lively with pool basketball, a swim-up bar, and swarms of crowds. And at the relatively empty Ocean View Pool, the sound of crashing waves might be the only auditory interruption. Nearby, the beach is just as crowded as the main pool, and it pushes right up against a separate resort -- as well as the airport. The beach itself is quite nice with powdery sand and a deep crescent-shaped shoreline. Inexplicably, though, guests seem to enjoy taking their clothes off, despite the fact that it does not say that this is allowed anywhere.
St. Maarten does something that many beach destinations would never dream of doing -- it builds hotels right next to the airport. Aside from perhaps Mary's Boon Beach Resort, where the heart-stopping sounds of planes might rudely awaken you every morning, no other property is quite as brazenly neighborly with giant 50-ton 747 jets as Sonesta Maho. Right there on the beach, next to the splashing children and sun-tanning parents is a simple chain link fence separating the shore from the runway. And several times a day, guests gather around this fence, lacing their fingers into the chains and readying their cameras as they stand behind a growling, hot airplane preparing for takeoff. The noise is earth-shattering (thankfully the rooms have sound-proof windows) and the heat is unbearable, and yet guests respond to it as if its one of the island's most charming attractions.
If booming airplanes and boisterous tourists seem a bit too much, consider the Sonesta Great Bay or Westin Dawn Beach, both of which are full of similar amenities – but on a smaller scale and sans the hullabaloo.
Right in the heart of the action on the Dutch side's touristy Maho Village
The Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino is located smack in the middle of the Maho Village shopping center, a touristy stretch filled with shops, restaurants, bars, the island's largest casino, and its most popular nightclub, Tantra. Duty-free boutiques, outlets, and big-name-brand outposts are all crammed into this area, and the traffic is virtually non-stop bumper-to-bumper. This tourist haven combined with Sonesta's direct-access beach make for little reason to head elsewhere; however, some nicer and rather diverse beaches are close by and worth visiting, especially given the resort's proximity to the French-Dutch border. Try Baie Rouge on the French side for great snorkeling, or Simpson Bay on the Dutch side for a number of less-crowded beachfronts.
The resort is also located right next to the airport. Thankfully, rooms feature soundproof windows, but the sight of a 747 taking off or landing simply cannot be avoided. Some guests find it thrilling; others think it's a serious eyesore.
Average-size standard rooms with private balconies, but few other points of interest
Sonesta Maho's 534 rooms are separated among the original Sky Tower and the newer Ocean Tower. In 2010, floors six through nine of the Sky Tower were renovated, making them the newest rooms to date with fresh color palettes and completely redone bathrooms. Nonetheless, like the hotel's public grounds, neither the renovated nor the original rooms are all that special. Furnishings are heavy wood pieces that, in some units, seem a bit out of place. In the standard rooms, bathrooms are quite small, and you probably won't even notice the renovations -- toiletries are generic, stall showers are just average, vanities have only one sink, and fluorescent lighting has a Motel-6 feel. Junior suites at least have much bigger bathrooms (and bigger terraces at that), but the rooms themselves aren't a whole lot larger.
All units feature balconies; however, the V-shape of the Sky Tower makes for little privacy. A bit of advice: The rooms are charged by view -- not how recently they were renovated. An old room with an ocean view, therefore, will be more expensive than a newly renovated room with an island view. To ensure your ocean-view room is renovated, book among floors six through nine in the Sky Tower.
More amenities than any other resort on the island
Three distinct restaurants for varied dining options
Ocean Terrace and The Palms Grill are both casual dining options with outdoor seating. At Ocean Terrace, the buffets are the attraction, with an exceptionally large Sunday Brunch that features unlimited free mimosas and Bloody Mary's. During other meals, the options are quite spectacular with rack of lamb, oysters, and an extensive dessert table topping the list.
The Palms is more of a beachy cafe for a burger and fries, while the fancy eatery on-site, The Point, is best for seafood and steak.
In all three of these venues, the style is generic, much like the rest of the resort. Overall, prices are about average, and guests taking advantage of the all-inclusive rates will find the three options varied enough to enjoy most of their meals on-site.
By far the biggest resort in St. Maarten, this 534-room behemoth is a veritable village with two towers, two pools, three restaurants, the island's largest casino, direct beach access, and a 40-boutique shopping center. Most of the rooms have fresh, modern decor and balconies, though the expensive Wi-Fi is a bit excessive. The crowds can get big and even a bit boisterous. But for families and lively vacationers looking for a playground of a resort, the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino is a top choice.

Decreasing crime rate applauded
The crime rate in Henderson edged down again for 2012 according to annual uniform crime incident reporting statistics.
At a retreat gathering of city leaders last week, Henderson Police Chief Keith Sidwell reported receiving 1,895 "index" offenses for the calendar year 2012, down 126 from 2,021 reported for 2011.
Sidwell said that focused policing impacted larcenies in particular.
"We have had a 33.8 percent reduction in larcenies," Sidwell said.
The overall crime reduction represented a 6.25 percent drop.
The Henderson City Council, present for their annual strategy retreat, received the report as good news on trends, but they expressed the concerns of constituents they represent about crimes that continue to burden and endanger neighborhoods.
"We did see a reduction in crime now for three straight years," Ward 2 Councilman Michael Inscoe said.
"I think the police are doing an excellent job with what they have," Ward 2 Councilman Michael Rainey said. "I am hearing about the same complaints, though, asking about what we can do about crime. Anything we can do to reduce it, I'm for it."
A sticking point in the uniform reporting for Henderson continues to be rising violent crimes. A small rise in numbers mean sweeping percentage rate increases, often because of a single individual criminal or a crime spree by a few.
Sidwell reported that there was a spike in robberies from April through June, then the capture of Robert E. Williams put an end to that spree.
"While we did see a spike in violent crimes," Sidwell said, "robberies ended up less than in 2011 by 3.8 percent."
Ward 3 Councilwoman Brenda Peace-Jenkins said that her Flint Hill area of the city seems to be bearing the brunt of crime increases.
"I think I'm hearing in my area that there seems to be an increase in crime," Peace-Jenkins said. "It seems like everything is escalating. You are hearing it or hearing about more gunshots fired and about more break-ins."
She said she deals with complaints that there may be an unequal effort by police to respond to crimes when reported, but she also believes there is a good-faith effort by the police to do all they can.
"I think they are doing all they can, while at the same time there is room for improvement," Peace-Jenkins said. "This is also an issue that needs our prayer. Crime has become more rampant, and it may be more than the police can handle."
Rainey said he does not pretend to have the answer to the crime problem, but one thing that is an obvious need is more police officers on duty, added to more community activism by residents taking stock in their neighborhoods and looking out for each other.
"We have to do it, we have to get everybody involved," Rainey said. "We also need more police."
Rainey said he understood the police department is fully staffed. According to Sidwell's submitted report, four positions came open in 2012 and the department swore-in seven new officers: Ben Yarborough, Christopher Norris, Brandon Mitchell, Aston Mitchell, Mike Wilder, Jonathan Thomas and Timothy Kelley.
Rainey called the job of police tough, one he didn't think he could do.
There was an increase in reported homicides in the city, seven in 2012 compared to five for 2011. Sidwell said that while policing efforts can focus on keeping guns from violent offenders, convicted felons who are not allowed to have guns, a murder is most often beyond the reach of law enforcement until after it happens.
"When a human being decides to take another's life, that is going to happen," Sidwell said, adding that the homicides in Henderson normally involve close-relationship domestic situations or long-standing disputes that are difficult to prevent.
The issue has resulted in strategizing by the Criminal Investigations and Special Operations divisions to track illegal weapons possession and criminal weapons use, seeking more aggressive state prosecution of those offenders, or when possible, tapping in to the resource of the federal Safe Neighborhoods program, trying cases in federal court.
"We have seen an overall reduction in homegrown gang activity in part because we have been able to put some of these gang leaders in prison through the federal program," Sidwell said.

Castle Season 5 Spoiler: Will Castle and Beckett Take a Romantic Hamptons Getaway?
Rewind the Castle clock to the Season 2 finale, when Rick invited Kate to his Hamptons house for Memorial Day weekend. Unfortunately, the detective was all tied up with her boyfriend Tom Demming at the time, so Castle went into self preservation mode and suggested they spend some time apart.
Although Beckett had a last-minute change of heart, it was too late. Castle had already invited his ex-wife, Gina, and together they strolled off into the summer sunset.
But that was two seasons ago, before Castle and Beckett made passionate love during a midnight rainstorm. The Season 4 finale was a total game-changer for the star-crossed pair, and now that they're a bona fide couple, we can't help but wonder if Castle will extend another Hamptons invite to his beautiful muse.
According to TV Guide, the mystery author will summon Kate Beckett to his weekend hideaway in Season 5 — but Castle wouldn't be Castle without a little bloodshed, so don't expect Caskett to get too cozy.
Show creator Andrew Marlowe told TV Guide that a fresh-faced police chief crashes Castle and Beckett's romantic getaway when he asks them to help out with his first murder case.
Ugh. Talk about a buzzkill!

With fearsome thorns and prickly leaves, this may seem too daunting to grow until you see it in the garden leafed out in gold and lime-green, or in winter when the canes are a pinkish-purple-blue from the "bloom" on the stems. Fountain-shaped and about 5' tall and wide, set it off with ample space and then it is more striking and easier to handle when you need to remove any old canes.

Editorial: Fun with brackets for serious cause
March Madness isn't all fun and games for Duke University students who launched the Brackets4Life website.
Instead, they're using our love of springtime bracketology to help support a serious issue: research into the causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
For as little as $2, NCAA basketball fans can fill out their picks at brackets4life.com. You can give as much as you want. Not a fan? Don't care if the Final Four includes Blue Devils or Tar Heels? They'll still take your donations if you're feeling generous.
And you should. It's a worthy cause. Half the donations are supposed to go to The CJ Foundation for SIDS, while the top five point-earners in the pool see their 10 percent of the proceeds going to the charity of his or her choice.
Deaths among infants from SIDS have dropped drastically since the 1980s, but it still claims about 2,500 children each year and the cause remains unknown. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, SIDS may be caused by factors such as problems with a baby's ability to wake up and a deficiency in the body's ability to detect a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. Risk factors associated with SIDS include an infant sleeping on their stomach, exposure to cigarette smoke while in the womb or after birth, soft crib bedding, living in poverty and late or no prenatal care.
The Duke student-entrepreneurs got the idea for Brackets4Life from a peer who has had personal experience with SIDS. When he was about 2, freshman Michael McConville's 5-month-old brother died. He pitched the idea in the tradition started by his parents, who channeled their grief into an annual golf outing to raise money for research.
As of Monday morning, The Herald-Sun's Laura Oleniacz reported, the site had raised several thousand dollars.
"I'm pretty happy so far," McConville said. "I know we've reached a lot of people and if we can reach a lot of people and (make people aware of) ways to protect their infants from SIDS, I'll consider it a success no matter how much it makes."
With that in mind, here are some prevention tips suggested by the American Academy of Pediatrics:
- Always put a baby to sleep on his or her back.
- Only put babies to sleep in a crib.
- Let babies sleep in the same room (but not in same bed) as parents.
- Avoid soft bedding materials.
- Make sure room temperature isn't too hot.
- Offer baby a pacifier when going to sleep.
Be sure to post your picks at brackets4life.com before lunch Thursday. Clock's ticking.

Two-screened handsets are certainly not new — just look at the Kyocera Echo and Sony Tablet P — however The Verge recently had a chance to go hands on with a new device from a company called NEC. This particular device is called the Medias W and was originally teased about a year ago.
The Medias W has two foldable qHD 4.3-inch screens, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera and 16GBB of on-board memory. The handset itself is 12.2mm thick and runs Android 4.1. What can you do with two screens you might ask? Well, you can either double your home screen real estate, multitask by doing a separate task on each screen or in certain applications use the power of both screens to form a roughly square 5.6-inch display.
Right now the fullscreen experience by combining both screens is limited to only a few stock applications such as the browser and Google Maps, but additional application support is coming. It was mentioned in the report that the on-screen keyboard can also span across both screens.
It is unfortunately unlikely that we will see this device released outside of Japan, but NEC did call the Medias W a "global model" which means it could potentially be imported. The Medias W will be available to purchase in Japan by April of this year.
You can check out this foreign video of the device in action below.
What do you think about the idea of a dual-screen smartphone? Do you think the idea will catch on and we will start seeing it going more mainstream? Let us know in the comments section below.

After attending a Sally Melville class 2 weeks ago, I decided to try my hand at a Fair Isle cap pattern I have had for years. I finished it last night. I love it and hope to do another color work project really soon. Enjoy the picture!
|Photo on 2011-11-07 at 21.01.jpg
To me, Fair Isle knitting is probably the most satisfying knitting I have done. Sometimes I just look at it, enjoying the wonder of the process and the result.
I would encourage you to do an authentic Fair Isle with 2-ply "jumper weight" Shetland wool from Jamieson and Smith or Jamieson's. You can order from Jamieson's direct over the internet but will have to purchase J&S from a shop. Even with the shipping, it cost me less to buy the Jamieson's direct some years ago.
The two yarns are different, but both are wonderful to work with. The J&S has a softer hand and has a nap that softens the appearance of the colorwork. Jamieson's will show the sts more clearly. Both will allow you to steek with confidence if you prefer the traditional construction of knitting entirely in the round. I love the method.
Congratulations on your first project.
I like doing a good Fair Isle project once in a while. Yours really came out excellent!
This is really nice and I have to agree, stranding can become addictive, I am not really sure which is tops for me ....lace work or stranded, I believe Fair Isle is having only two colours per row where stranding will have more, but I am not really sure. I just know I love working the two handed fair ilse with two colours at a time. Well done, I am looking forward to more of your work.
Rusty...love it!!! I'm looking forward to taking your Fair Isle class at the SEMKR this weekend!!!!
Thanks for all the positive comments! I often second guess my work but am becoming more and more confident with what I love to do.
very nice work. You took your knitting to a new level! love the color work.
Congratulations on a great job! A stranded hat today - a Fair Isle jumper tomorrow... Beware, multi-colour knitting is addictive! Thanks for sharing your first project.
WOW! What a great job. And your first!! You've got a gift for color work. That's beautiful!
Great Job! I love FairIsle but not so much Intarsia.
Not a Fair Isle fan but as Q said, beautifully done - you should be proud.
Very nice knitting, Rusty. I don't do colorwork very often but appreciate it when well done. Enjoy.
What an achievement, good for you.
It looks great Rusty! Your stitches look very even.

text: Las Vegas is part of the discussion now involving the new Western Soccer Conference that Stu Starkey of the Phoenix Monsoon is promoting . . . Here's the full interview clip on Kenn.com's blog: http://www.kenn.com/the_blog/?p=3452 It is talking almost entirely about Phoenix at this point and their plans, but mentions Las Vegas around the 2:15 mark and also goes into the "comfort of fans" issues of playing in the heat around the 4:00 mark. USL Pro would be a great starting point for Las Vegas, and with any success I think that Phoenix, San Diego and Las Vegas could all be part of a Southwestern Division in a much larger 24+ team MLS in the next decade or so.

Throughout life, bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt. In the cases of osteoporosis and Paget's disease, this natural cycle is altered. This change, along with other factors, leads to a loss of bone (osteoporosis), or loss of bone at some places in the body and thickening of bone in other places (Paget's disease). Alendronate helps to improve overall bone mass by inhibiting its breakdown.
It is important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits, to allow for dosage adjustments and to help reduce side effects. The following information may affect your usage of alendronate, so be sure to tell your doctor:
Alendronate may make some medical conditions worse. Tell your doctor if you have any medical problems, especially:
Take alendronate in the morning on an empty stomach. Take with a full glass of plain water, and wait at least 30 minutes before consuming any food, beverage, or other medicines. Food and beverages other than plain water will decrease the amount of alendronate absorbed by the body. Medicines such as antacids or calcium or vitamin supplements will also decrease absorption. Waiting at least 30 minutes allows for more of the drug to be absorbed.
Do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking this drug. Staying upright will help the alendronate reach your stomach faster, and will help prevent irritation in your throat.
You may be advised to increase the amount of calcium and vitamin D in your diet. Both of these nutrients are important for bone health. You can get these nutrients through foods, but your doctor may also recommend a supplement.
Sources of calcium include:
Sources of vitamin D include:
Take a missed dose as soon as possible. If you miss a daily dose, resume the next day. If you miss a weekly dose, resume the next day and again the following week on the scheduled day. Do not double up on doses.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Check with your doctor if any of the following side effects occur frequently and/or become bothersome:
The National Institutes of Health Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases
US Food and Drug Administration
Canadian Family Physician

This stunning treasury features full-page plates of the finest works by the famed English artist, Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). A leading figure in the early twentieth century's Golden Age of Illustration, Rackham interpreted scenes from such diverse material as fairy tales, Wagnerian opera, and Shakespearean comedy. His memorable images, which combine whimsy, romance, and sophistication, continue to enchant children and adults alike. Magnificently reprinted from more than 25 rare early editions, these 86 illustrations were selected from hundreds of possibilities and include many plates that have not been reproduced in decades. They span Rackham's career -- from his landmark 1905 edition of "Rip Van Winkle" to masterworks such as "Undine" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and his final publication, "Wind in the Willows, " in 1939. Art lovers, book collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for imaginative visual storytelling will prize this marvelous treasury.

May 30: Feast Day of St. Joan of Arc
May 30 is the feast day of St. Joan of Arc (1412 – 1431), patroness of France and patroness of soldiers. While she lived, St. Joan of Arc was one of the Church's most misunderstood saints both within and without the Church. As a young peasant girl of 13 she received visions of St. Michael, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret telling her to help the King of France reconquer his kingdom, which at that time was being threatened by England.

After Pentecost: Catechesis on the Holy Spirit
The Blessed Trinity—the Triune God—is the greatest mystery of the Christian faith and the end for which we were created. While in this life we should prepare our hearts for heaven by catechizing ourselves as best we can about each Person of the Blessed Trinity and the role they play in our sanctification and salvation. Here are a few great resources from the saints, our teachers and forbears, to meditate on the Person of the Holy Spirit during this octave of Pentecost. Continue reading

The Influence of "True Devotion to Mary" on Blessed Pope John Paul II
Since May is the Month of Mary, and next week is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, and the fact that it has recently been announced that Bl. Pope John Paul II could be canonized later this year, it's a great time to talk about this his special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. During the Month of Mary it would be a great time to follow in his footsteps and read the book that changed Karol Wojtyla's life: True Devotion to Mary. Continue reading

Mechanical failure halts SVG Racing's possible podium finish
Posted: May 17, 2014|
SWANSEA team SVG Racing were denied a stunning possible podium finish at Brands Hatch by mechanical failure.
The outfit were on top form in the first round of the UK Sports 2000 Endurance Championship.
But their hopes of a top-three finish were denied when a rear wheel gave way.
British champion Anthony Wilds and international driver Tim Matthews had to start at the back of the grid as mechanical issues disrupted their qualification.
But by lap three Wilds had already carved his way through to 15th. Three more spectacular moves saw him go 12th and by the time he pitted for the compulsory stop and driver change, SVG Racing were sensationally up to third overall.
Although a couple of places were lost on the change, Matthews saw his lap times improve and by lap 33 he had regained two lost places and was chasing down the three leaders.
By lap 42 the third-placed car was in sight but handling was becoming a problem. As he crossed the finish line at more than 140mph and turned into the corner at the top of Paddock Hill, the car suddenly lost all grip on the rear and went sideways.
A rear wheel had given way and Matthews had no option but to park on the side of the track.
Despite losing 12 laps to the leader, at the end the team were still credited with 17th overall and third in class.
Matthews said: "It was disappointing not to finish but we found out just how quick a car we can prepare and just how quick Anthony can drive.
"We made a strong team and I'm sure we can still get into the overall top three by the end of the year."

Best tackling team I saw the last three years was OSU. They hit AND wrapped up. The FIRST guy to hit a runner brought him down.
UofM just hit like battering rams but didn't use their arms to wrap up. Most times the runner bounced off and kept going.
I see this even in the pros. Why is using the arms to wrap up considered passe?

Ridiculous morons declare: Watch corporate management, watch reporters, watch non-union, pot is safe around machinery, beer is allowed in Germany so it CAN'T be wrong, must be a union vendetta, not REALLY a REAL story, blah, blah, blah.
Whatever. These daily drunk, doped workers have a problem, and are not able to work safely and productively and produce quality products.
Those who defend them have a bigger problem.
So now lack of talent, classlessness, and shameless self-promotion can be trademarked?
"said Rodriguez ... "I know (Coteat) wasn't trying to kill him.""
" ...Coteat went into his house in the 200 block of Spencer, got a "large hunting knife" and chased Phillips around parked cars before stabbing him in the chest ..."
No one was in danger from the driver at this point. Yes, the thug was certainly "trying to kill him", hence the trip to the house to get a knife, chasing, and stabbing in the chest. Or is this delusional, lying woman spinning a coldblooded killing as a friendly hug where a knife accidentally got between the thug and his best bud?
""He reacted out of hurt, out of pain," said Rodriguez ..."
Alright, show of hands: How many people have been hurt and in pain, yet avoided going into their house, getting a large hunting knife, chasing someone around parked cars, and stabbing them in the chest? Anyone?
" ...assigned a $500,000 bond to Coteat based on the defendant's criminal record from Ohio, which included half-a-dozen robbery charges ..."
Yes, we all know how those pesky robbery charges add up. No doubt he was on his way from his volunteer job at the hospice to choir practice at church when he accidentally committed robbery 6 times.
"Want to work in the clean, green economy? Come to Michigan."
Gosh, such a cheerful statement!
Let's read another statement: (PRWEB) June 28, 2011: Reports show that (the) number of unemployed people in USA is over 14 million, while only 7 million are collecting unemployment. http://www.prweb.com/releases/michigan_unemployment/extension/prweb8605838.htm
"Michigan's 76,941 clean economy jobs ... "
Wait a minute: That's EXISTING JOBS, not JOB OPENINGS. How many JOB OPENINGS are there right now? How many of the 14 million unemployed can be expected to land a job when they come to Michigan?
"Lawyers for Craig Hecht were able to show jurors that black staff members at Linden Charter Academy had made racial jokes but were never punished like him."
"His lawyer says he quickly apologized to a black teacher's aide who heard him.
National Heritage Academies said it was disappointed by the verdict Friday and might appeal. "
Only white people should lose their jobs when someone takes offense.
Obviously, saying racist, offensive to whites is simply "delivering justice."
Picture a United States where THE UNIONS are the leaders and innovators in quality and productivity. Imagine the unions being such a profitable and positive force that management BIDS for the best unions to organize at their companies!
What would they have to do to reach that status?
The other union workers, including factory reps, KNOW this is going on. NOT ONCE HAS THE UNION, ANY UNION, ROUTINELY OUSTED MEMBERS WHO WORKED DRUNK, STONED, GOOFED OFF, THREW EXTRA BOLTS IN BODY CAVITIES, OR DID CRAPPY WORK.
Unions do not give a crap about quality or productivity.
Unions care only about their own jobs, wages, and benefits.
They only pontificate about "America" to bolster their own jobs, wages, and benefits.
If they cared about "America", they would initiate THEIR OWN programs for improved quality and productivity, and they would have THEIR OWN rules against members who drank, got stoned, slacked off, or were incompetent.
But all they do is rant and rail against FOX news, corporate management, make excuses, and point at others. SHUT UP.
Clean up your own house, unions, because until you do, all your rhetoric will be heard for the empty drivel it is. Oh, all the union brothers will do a quart and a doobie and cheer deliriously, but they'll be the only ones.
Suggested sound: James Earl Jones chanting: "Your government subsidized a doomed technology."
"Expanding high-speed Internet could benefit Michigan"
Announcing that something could benefit people
is the first step
of justifying that tax payers provide it
and of demonizing those who ask if it's government's function to do so.
It seems so obvious that Detroit should buy a domestic Carr.
Yes, I'm looking for a sponsor. If anyone is willing to put up the $1 million entry fee and expenses, I promise to have a great time!
Note: Expenses to include any tax liability for the sponsorship, and golf before and after the tournament.
Uh, you retired at age 29 after earning a wage 100 times greater than most people.
You blew your money on a wild lifestyle that most people could never afford.
You were too ignorant to save for retirement.
You took lame courses in college and didn't bother to study for those.
You got the hottest girls in college, and models as a pro.
You enjoyed the front of the line, exclusive invites, countless freebies.
You're alive. Get a job. Don't whine about how people "owe" you.
Soooooooooooo sorry you have to earn a living like the rest of us.
" ...a new assessment on health insurance claims."
Roughly means: Tax people for getting sick.
Just curious: How does cancer respond to taxation?

Some resolution reached; authorities un-manning.
(Caption): UAW President Bob King speaks at the UAW Local 467
" UAW president says (insert names of countless surviving companies) closing Detroit plant 'another example of corporate greed' "
So, the UAW management pander to their potential supporters in the next union election AFTER their policies have resulted in the loss of sales, market share, and jobs.
Only options for the companies:
1) Pay unrealistic union wages and benefits and produce a product no one can afford to buy, and everyone loses their jobs and investments, or
2) Pay market wages and benefits (where allowed), and produce a product most can afford to buy.
Funny how the union management never loses their jobs, benefits, pensions, and expense accounts.
Unions are necessary to speak up for the interests of the workers, but union management is more corrupt than corporate management.

Unions are necessary to speak up for the interests of the workers, but who will protect workers from union management?
"Complaints about state funding cuts and the number of students living in poverty are not options. The new majority was aware of both issues when its members campaigned for the job.
Now that these board members have the keys to the district, they can do what they want. If Taylor was wrong, then let's see what is right. It's time to step up."
"Complaints about state funding cuts ... are not options."
Oh, so YOU'VE declared that, huh? Well, that MUST end the discussion. But, when Taylor cited them, they were a valid excuse for his lack of performance, but for the new folks, they are not? You delude yourself about your neutrality.
"Now that these board members have the keys to the district, they can do what they want. "
Taylor had " ... the keys to the district ...", AND the board behind him, so he did what HE wanted, while heaping contempt on all the other interested parties. Did he make everything great? He spent his work hours seeking and pleading for jobs elsewhere. Maybe there might be some question about his loyalty and dedication?
I have no support for the new school board, but the defenders of Taylor are delusional.
The discussion about these things is muddied by political viewpoints, personal fears, and personal agendas, and has very little to do with efficient and effective schooling, other than to use those "I am holier and more concerned and moral than you" arguments to further their causes.
Keep fiddling while the children and the community burns.
Blah, blah, blah. EVERY NBA first rounder is a POTENTIAL all-star. Every year, every team.

Quality of opposition a key factor in approach to match, says Clough
Posted: October 08, 2012|
BRIGHTON'S quality had to be taken into account when it came to Derby County's approach to Saturday's Championship clash, said Rams manager Nigel Clough.
Derby, who usually play with two strikers at home, went in with Conor Sammon up top and Theo Robinson and Paul Coutts in the wide areas.
The Rams picked up a deserved point from a goalless draw against Brighton, who sit fifth in the table and have the joint best away record in the division.
No team has conceded fewer goals on the road than Brighton's three in five games.
When asked about the formation, Clough said: "We always like to play with two up at home but sometimes you have to look at the effort that went in at Forest and Middlesbrough.
"Our energy levels weren't quite what they have been, so we had to play accordingly, because if we'd gone chasing Brighton, they might have cut us to ribbons with the quality they have.
"We certainly didn't want to play in a negative way.
"When we do play with two wide like we did, we want it to be a 4-3-3 but with Brighton's quality, they can push you back.
"We played against an extremely good side."
Derby lost one of their midfield three, Will Hughes, to injury at half-time.
They brought on Michael Jacobs and stuck to their shape. Robinson moved to the right side and Coutts switched to the centre of midfield.
"Yes, we were tempted to go two up in the second half but we were asking Theo to try to get close to Conor (Sammon) when he could," said Clough.
"It disrupted us a little bit, losing Will Hughes at half-time. We got Michael Jacobs on to get some crosses in and he did OK.
"At 0-0, we were not sparkling and energy levels were a little bit lower than they have been at home, generally.
"But as well as we played against Burnley in the previous home game, we got no points.
"If we can't win, we have to make sure we don't lose and that's exactly the sort of mentality we want from the players.
"A 0-0 draw is certainly better than a 2-1 defeat after playing so well."
Brighton manager Gus Poyet feels his team are heading in the right direction despite a third game without a win.
"I'm not saying we totally deserved to beat Derby but I think we were slightly better," Poyet said.
"I think we had the best chances and the best approach play.
"Of course, there was danger at the end with the fans and the atmosphere but I am going home relaxed. I liked what I saw."
Poyet would have enjoyed the journey even more if Dean Hammond had not headed wide of a gaping goal in the second half after Rams keeper Adam Legzdins had tipped the ball on to the bar.
"Three of our players were going for the same ball and pushing each other to try to score the winning goal but I call that football," he said.
"We accept things because you can't control everything."

When Muammar Qaddafi began to re-conquer Libya it briefly appeared that only the moderate and nominally "pro-American" dictatorships in the Middle East were at risk, but the hard and violent anti-American regimes aren't yet in the clear. The region-wide revolt is now hitting Syria and will almost certainly grow.
In the southern city of Daraa, along the border with Jordan, regime opponents set fire to the local Baath Party headquarters, a courthouse, and two government-run phone company offices. Police officers fired live rounds into crowds of demonstrators, but Bashar al-Assad also dispatched government officials in the hopes of making some kind of amends.
If Libyans are willing to stand up to the ruthlessness of Qaddafi, and if the West is willing to back them, Syria's tyrant should be deathly afraid. And here is a country where we don't need to worry quite so much about what might replace the regime if it falls.
Al-Assad is not an Islamist. He's not, in the eyes of some, even a Muslim—he's a secular Alawite whom both Sunnis and Shias have long considered heretical infidels. This hardly makes any difference, however. He has aligned himself with Iran's Islamic Republic, Hamas, and Hezbollah. He helped insurgents transit into Iraq to kill American soldiers. His replacement could be a bit worse, but not by a lot.
The Israelis worry that if he goes he'll be replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood. It's certainly possible. A little more than 70 percent of Syria's population is Sunni. Still, it's hard to imagine a Muslim Brotherhood regime being more hostile to Israel and the West than the Arab Socialist Baath Party.
It's also hard to imagine that Damascus could so effectively dominate Lebanon and forcibly keep it in the Iran-led resistance bloc after a thorough change at the top. Syria has a great deal of leverage inside its smaller and strategically critical neighbor, but it took decades to build the intricate web of relationships with its willing and unwilling Lebanese proxies. A new Syrian government will have to start over if the entire leadership of the Alawite state is deposed. And in Lebanon, the Muslim Brotherhood gets precious little traction where around 90 percent of the country's Sunnis back Saad Hariri's Future Movement, a party with a liberal and capitalist ideology.
I have my doubts that Syria is prepared for democracy at this time, but there is enormous room for improvement. A totalitarian terrorist-sponsoring state is hardly the only illiberal option. Even if, under a worst-case scenario, Damascus under new management continues to support Hamas and Hezbollah, maintains the alliance with Iran's Islamic Republic, continues oppressing the people of Syria, and keeps "resistance" against Israel the state's ideological raison d'etre, the situation could not be much worse than it already is. Let us hope, then, that the Syrian people can finally be rid of him.

Back cover copy
Written by some of the world's leading experts, "Egyptian Archaeology" employs a uniquely archaeological approach to explore ancient Egypt. Drawing on original research and excavations to both synthesize and challenge existing scholarship, this book dispels traditional notions of Egyptian culture as monolithic. Each author explicates current understandings of the cultural and historical processes of ancient Egypt, illustrating that practical research is a vital and fascinating component of any theory-based discussion about the ancient world. By examining fundamental issues and important temporal, regional, and social developments through a global lens, "Egyptian Archaeology" brings existing debates vigorously up-to-date, while challenging students to think about their own interpretations, expectations, and attitudes towards ancient and modern Egypt. Engaging and progressive, this fully illustrated volume provides an insightful investigation into the world of ancient Egyptian archaeology and culture.

91-year-old fends off would-be purse thief
The would-be purse snatcher thought he had an easy mark: a frail-looking elderly woman.
But Saturday afternoon, when the thief approached 91-year-old Katherine Woodworth in a West Toledo parking lot and demanded her purse, he got more than he bargained for.
He got a whuppin' instead.
Angered by the thought of being robbed, Ms. Woodworth, a tiny woman with gray hair and glasses, who normally wears a hearing aid, turned her purse into a weapon and repeatedly struck the man until he fled.
"He just made me mad," Ms. Woodworth said. "I wasn't really thinking, I just hit him."
Ms. Woodworth said yesterday she didn't feel like she did anything special in fending off her attacker in the Kmart parking lot on West Alexis Road.
She said she arrived at the store about 3:45 p.m. to pick up some items when a man walked up to her and announced he was taking her purse.
"I didn't have my hearing aid in and I thought he said that he was going to take my pulse," Ms. Woodworth said with laugh.
"Then he said it again that he was going to take my purse and I said, 'No, you're not.' "
The would-be purse-snatcher ran away but by that time another woman in the parking lot noticed the struggle and took a description of the suspect's vehicle and a license plate number.
"Apparently, he picked on the wrong feisty 91-year-old woman," Sgt. Tim Hanus said.
"I'm kind of surprised and amused. She let him have it just hard enough to scare him off."
Police said the suspect is Matthew C. Spradlin, 20, of Walbridge. He remained in the Lucas County jail last night.
Mr. Spradlin was arrested shortly afterward at the Kroger Food and Pharmacy, 833 West Alexis Rd., where store employees accused him of taking a purse from a shopping cart inside the store before customers and employees ran him down.
He has been charged with robbery, felony theft, assault, aggravated menacing, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Kmart store manager Tim Bigelow said he was off Saturday and didn't know much about the incident, but said he was impressed with Ms. Woodworth's determination.
"We don't need any of that stuff [purse snatching] here," Mr. Bigelow said. "I don't think she was really supposed to do that, but I'm glad they caught the guy."
Sergeant Hanus does not recommend that elderly women start taking up arms against youthful purse snatchers.
He said the best policy is to play it safe and get a good description.
"Your health and safety is more important than any possession that you have," Sergeant Hanus said.
Ms. Woodworth doesn't consider herself brave.
"I'll be 92 in August and I guess I've got more nerve now than when I was younger," Ms. Woodworth said with smile.
"I felt sorry for him because I don't like to see anyone get in trouble, but I guess he had it coming. What a waste of life and time," she said.

DVD REVIEW: Time travel on a budget fails to satisfy
THE idea of time travel is intriguing to me.
WITH more and more people using their TV screens and smart phone apps to access television and movie information, APN has decided to discontinue the TV and movie guides.
However, you will see below all the latest news and information about television shows and movie reviews. For those looking for a lift-out television guide, APN's daily publications produce a great guide each Thursday.
Each day's newspaper also has a comprehensive television guide, while movies are often reviewed in weekend publications as well as on this website.
Many of our local community papers also have TV guides.
THE idea of time travel is intriguing to me.

While TrailFest may be over the fun and adventure will continue on the Hatfield McCoy Trails thanks to the first annual Thunder in the Mountains Charity Poker Run in support of the Mud Buddies Ride for a Reason Project.
If you missed the September 8 Mud Buddies ride in Boone County on the Little Coal River you missed out on a very fun event. This will be a chance to participate in something fun that helps others as well as have a good time yourself.
The First Annual Thunder in the Mountains ATV and Side By Side Charity Poker Run supporting Ride for a Reason! is coming to Logan on Sunday, October 21, with plenty of fun and prizes for a good cause.
Some time back the folks at the Hatfield-McCoy Regional Recreation Authority decided to team up with the Mud Buddies Foundation because it brought happiness and fun to disabled children and it tied in perfectly with the Trail experience of Hatfield-McCoy.
"What Mud Buddies does is make possible trail rides for those with disabilities who might otherwise miss out on riding the finest, most beautiful and popular maintained trails in the Eastern United States," Hatfield-McCoy Trails Marketing Director Mike Pinkerton explained on Oct. 10.
All ATVs and Side by Sides are welcome to Thunder in the Mountains. The cost is $15 per single rider and $5 for each additional rider.
Admission includes a free t-shirt, a one-day trail permit, and lunch.
Launching point will be at 1 Wildcat Way on Middleburg Island in Logan at the Logan High School. Registration starts at 9 a.m. through 10:45 a.m. Rides leave at 11 a.m. The event is hosted by Keefer's Powersports of Logan; Logan Motorcycle Sales and the Hatfield-McCoy Trails. Come and enjoy a great opportunity to support a worthy cause and have fun — and remember — machines must be designed for multiple passengers and helmets are required.
The Mud Buddies foundation of Gilbert makes guided, no-fee All Terrain Vehicle rides available for those affected by disabilities who might not otherwise be able to enjoy the great outdoors in that manner. Each ride is customized to the interest of the riders.
Perennial longtime visitors Mike and Susie Rasmussen came up with the idea a few years ago; wanting to help the children of friends back home in the Northern state they came from.
When it was unfeasible there, due to terrain and geographical reasons, they did what many HMT riders dream of. They moved to the mountains of West Virginia. Along the way they set up Mud Buddies.
Mud Buddies had their first ride in June of 2011.
For more information on Mud Buddies, visit www.mudbuddiesfoundation.com/
In addition to a fun time on the trails, riders will get a meal for their contribution and a chance to win prizes.

Same-sex couple from Mesa marries at Grammys
PHOENIX -- Nearly 30 million people watched as they exchanged rings, said "I do", and became a married couple.
Brittany Pennington and Sally Beaver were married at the Grammy Awards on Sunday in front of the show's second-largest television audience since 1993.
The couple met at Mesa Desert Ridge High School, fell in love, and have been together for nearly three years. When the two saw a vaguely written casting call for a group wedding, they submitted their information and were eventually invited to take part in the ceremony.
Pennington said when the couple found out the wedding would be at the Grammys, they were ecstatic.
"Not only was I marrying someone who's my best friend, who I'm completely in love with, but, we also had support from people we've looked up to our whole lives," Pennington said.
Beaver and Pennington were joined by 32 other couples: gay, straight, young, old, interracial, all married as rapper Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis performed their award winning marriage-equality anthem "Same Love."
"When I think of the moment, I want to break down," Pennington said. "It's beautiful. It makes me want to cry. We started walking down the aisle and all the celebrities stood up; Katy Perry, Paul McCartney, country singers, everyone was crying."
Queen Latifah officiated the wedding for the couples.
"We are gathered here to celebrate love and harmony in every key and every color," Latifah said as she commenced the ceremony. "As I look out on this audience, I'm delighted to see the faces of thirty-three couples who've chosen this moment to celebrate their vows here with us in Los Angeles, and everyone watching around the world as witnesses."
Pennington said that she and Beaver were honored to represent same-sex couples from Arizona in the ceremony. "Even though we live in Seattle, we do represent Arizona. That's our home and [we're] getting married in front of the world to show the people in Arizona that are gay, if they want rights, then they have hope."
The newlyweds have their own hope -- that marriage equality will soon become the societal norm throughout the U.S.
"Same-sex couples go through a lot and we deal with a lot of discrimination; but, there are people out there that are rooting for us," Pennington said.

continued "We also may have an opportunity to work with Assistant Professor at the Center for Earth and Environmental Science at SUNY Plattsburgh Curt Gervich, Ph.D., and his class in environment management for further research into the feasibility or alternatives to a co-op food store in Ticonderoga," she said.
Malaney hopes a Ticonderoga co-op can be similar to the Middlebury Natural Foods Cooperative. That store is open seven days a week 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Operated by a board of directors elected by membership, the Middlebury co-op emphasizes healthy foods, making a positive impact on the local economy and stresses environmentally sustainable and energy efficient practices.
The Middlebury Natural Foods Cooperative began in the early 1970s as a pre-order buying club. Its purpose was to provide members with wholesome, natural foods that were not available elsewhere. To maximize savings, members bought in bulk and packaged the food themselves. During the last 40 years, the co-op has expanded several times to include a store-front operation that is open to members and the public. It includes a prepared foods section and deli with indoor and outdoor seating.

The Astronomer and I road tripped to the city by the bay this past President's Day weekend. While the bulk of our days were filled with catching up with friends and family, we were able to sneak in one food-centric outing: Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen. I love Jewish delis, both old school and new, so I was excited to taste this latest San Francisco treat.
Evan Bloom and Leo Beckerman, the two guys behind the operation, met in 2003 while studying at UC Berkeley. According to 7x7SF, the two threw a weekly 250-person barbecue for Hillel House, the Jewish student center, which led to a pop-up that eventually graduated into a stand at the Tuesday Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. In February of last year, they opened Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen on 24th Street in the Mission.
The deli is run in fast-casual fashion, with a line snaking out the door most of the time. Since it was our first visit to Wise Sons, we took advantage of the extra few minutes to digest the menu and to make some tough decisions.

As the night sweeps it's cloak on this city,
children are tucked in bed before the ungodly hour,
lust fills the air in drunken lover's lungs as they inhale each others scent.
But not you,
you stand there unchanged by the luster of the moon.
You sway accustomed to the wind.
The sycamore sways along with you.
The chime of fresh-shed cicadas cheer you on,
and their empty shells rattle the beat
tonight I came here unsure.
now I know one thing for sure.
we swing to the beat beautifully for sure.
You're going to be my dancing partner,
I'm sure.

Using Powermac G3 as NAS
I have been doing a bit of research lately and have decided that I would like to try and use my Powermac G3 as a NAS/File server. Is there a way I could connect it to my router install some software and have my other macs recognise it as an external hard drive.
512mb ram
120gb HDD
cd-rw drive
Assuming you have OSX installed (10.3 or 10.4 would be best), all you need to do is turn on file sharing from system prefs, specify which folders to share (remember to check permissions on each share too).
I would also set a static IP for the box to make it easier to troubleshoot and connect to.
Once it's setup and on the network, your other macs can connect to it via the finder window (depending on OS version) or, more efficiently via the connect to server dialogue box under finder->go menu (Command+K is the shortcut).
From there, just enter the DNS name you assigned (eg //powermacg3.local) or IP (eg //10.10.0.23). Press the + button to add to the list of machines for the future use. Just log in with the G3's credentials and select the share to mount.
Very easy to do. If you're running OS9, it's a different story.
Thanks. I will start doing this tonight
