3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat unbelievable to say the least...read on
This book is very gipping but there are parts I definatley cannot believe. I read many outdoor adventure books and find some things about this story disturbing. How can a person be crossing a frozen ocean in 40 degress below zero temps wearing only muckluks and deerskins and fall through a lead of water and get totally submerged and then continue on travelling for hours...

5.0 out of 5 stars The story of a deserter and a hero,
Marc Ranger "Baseball fan" (qu�bec, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ice Master: The Doomed 1913 Voyage of the Karluk (Paperback)
The Karluk's story really is one of a deserter and a hero. The expedition leader Stefansson, realizing his old and run-down vessel will not carry him to the promise land (being trapped in ice), desert ship and left Robert Bartlett holding the faith of the crew in his hand.
Barlett, a couragous, ressourful man takes it upon himself to save those under him, by leading a desesperate walk over the ice-flow to Wrangel Island. What makes this desesparate struggle stand apart from other Artic or Antarctic adventure is that 3 of the men under Bartlett (James Murray, Dr Allister Mackay and Henri Beauchat) thought they knew better and slipt rank. Murray (Endurance) and Mackay (Nimrod) had served under Shackelton and coudn't bear being ordered by a "lesser" man like Bartlett (who himself served under Peary).
Result? Bartlett saved most of the men under him and the trio of deserters was never heard of again...
Bartlett ultimatly had to leave most of his charges on Wrangel Island, while he and an Eskimo ally made an extraordinary, unbelievable journey through Siberia, Bering Strait and Alaska to get help.
Bottom line, The Ice Master is a Master of a book.
4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping Tale Of Stranded Arctic Explorers,
Wayne A. Smith (Middletown, DE) - See all my reviews
It amazes me how ignorant and unprepared some of the early artic explorers were.
The 1913 voyage of the Karluk north fits that mold. Many of the crew were not trained and had never been in harsh winter conditions. Supplies were bought and stowed haphazardly. The very ship worried the captain as being unworthy and not suited to travel in the ice. The leader bought second hand winter gear at rummage sale prices to save money and cheap pemmican that was not tested for purity.
After the ship stuck fast in the ice north of Alaska, the leader, a shameless man named Steffansson, abandoned the crew to head over the ice toward land. He did not go for help, but left so that he could continue to pursue his own egotistical goal of finding new lands above the Arctic Circle. That left the men (and one woman and two children who were part of an Eskimo family) at the fate of Captain Bartlett.
Fortunately, the Captain was a man of courage and character. His one great flaw happened early on, but was fatal. He knows his ship was not up to the journey north. Why an experienced captain like himself agreed to proceed is a mystery, but it was fortunate for the eventual survivors that he did. (Had he chosen not to captain the ship, Steffanson would have found another captain, probably made of lesser stuff than Bartlett.)
Bartlett would provide the authority, example and leadership that allowed half the crew to survive a winter on the ice and many months camped out on the most god-forsaken island in the world, Wrangle Island.
This fine book includes descriptions of life aboard the Karluk, life aboard an ice floe after the ship was crushed, a trek across miles of arctic ice to a godforsaken island that offered little in the way of improvement save its fixed location, a final two hundred mile hike by the Captain and his Eskimo from the island, across more frozen ocean, and across northern Siberia in order to mount a relief effort.
This tale is gripping. What these people endured, particularly the party that waited months on Wrangle Island not even knowing if Captain Bartlett had even reached Siberia is fascinating. This is a tale of grit, determination, strong characters and weak. It is a fine tale of arctic survival, well worth the read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Man - What They Had to Eat,
John G. Hilliard (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ice Master: The Doomed 1913 Voyage of the Karluk (Paperback)
Books like this make me wonder what is in the head of some people. To leave your perfectly warm and comfortable house and job to spend two years tromping around the arctic in a cramped old boat, eating food that mostly resembles dog food, and being permanently cold - are you kidding me? I must just be a wimp, because this is exactly what this group does and of course the plan goes sour about as soon as they are out of reach of any help. I guess the book would not be that interesting if everything worked.
So the boat is stuck and then crushed and these guys all build little icehouses and hope to tough out the winter eating this horrible meat cake stuff they brought with them. Well you guessed it, about a day into this situation they start to fight, separate into different groups and finally just head off in different directions. What surprised me is that so many of them lived to tell about it thus the documents the author used for the book.
The book really moves along very well. She describes the cold so well you get chills just reading about it. The richness of her descriptions lets you really understand what happened, but the detail does not slow the book down at all. It moves fast right up to the end. This is an interesting book that any adventure reader will enjoy.
4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping tale of survival,
C. Brennan (USA) - See all my reviews
Those TV "survivors" have nothing on these guys! An amazing true story, "The Ice Master" details the misadventures of the ill-fated Karluk and her hapless crew on an early 20th century scientific research expedition gone awry. Searching the Arctic for a phantom continent, the expedition leader abandons his entire company when their ship becomes icebound off the Alaskan coast. Left to fend for themselves with limited supplies, few resources and not quite sure where they are, the crew quickly reduce to their true natures. Some are gallant, some are less so and some are downright nefarious. How each man plays a part in his own fate, as well as the fate of others, is the most captivating part of the story.
It is unimaginable to me that men, women and children could be stranded on an ocean of ice with limited resources and yet still survive. This is an incredible story of human ingenuity and pure force of will defeating circumstance and nature. Niven takes care with her documentation and cites books, diaries and personal interviews in her notes. A well-written and compelling read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tale of human endurance,
Author Jennifer Niven's first non-fiction work is a welcome and worthy addition to the library of polar expeditions and tragedies.
Niven managed to bring to life a doomed expedition that occured almost nine decades ago, based on various different sources well-documented in the bibliography at the end of the book. The brief yet informative backgrounds of the characters provide much insight to the reader as to their individual personalities. This in turn led to a greater understanding of how these personalities clashed later on as the hope of rescue got dimmer.
This book will be enjoyed by all those who are into accounts of polar adventures and survival. To me, this book was as good as Alfred Lansing's ENDURANCE. At least Shackleton's men had the good-fortune of a relatively close crew plus a strong leadership to hold them together. The survivors of the Karluk had neither. This book was enlightening as to the worst things that adversity can bring out in man, as well as the instinct for self-preservation. Reading of all the personality clashes evident, it was amazing that any of them survived at all.
If this account of the Karluk tragedy is to be believed, then its importance cannot be stressed enough. Blame needs to be laid upon Steffanson for his wanton disregard of the welfare of those who set out on this expedition with him. Captain Bartlett should be absolved of Steffanson's accusations and lies.
Ultimately, ICE MASTER is worth its weight in gold if only to illustrate human endurance at its highest level. Highly recommended!
4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Arctic tale,
Mark Fordham (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This is a strong and well written account of the tragedy of the Karluk and it's men. We see and feel the struggle to cope and survive in the harsh environment of the Arctic. It is a good book, and makes a nice addition to Arctic adventure literature.
This is a wonderfully composed telling of the story of the Karluk. It is well written and nicely put together. The author draws from many different sources to give a full account of the story, including diaries and journals of the men, articles, books, newspaper clippings and interviews. The character development is superb - allowing us to really picture each person and their individual personalities. This is so important. The book centers around who these people were so that we can understand their actions and why tragedy befell them. Readers will be amazed at the strength and endurance of some men while being angered by the selfishness and ineptitude of others. The story is made richer by this, but the story is great on it's own. A ship-full of men surviving in terrible arctic conditions in desperate situations. Men struggling to travel to safety over torn-up ice and seemingly impassable ice walls and open leads of water between large ice floes. On top of this - the fight against starvation and disease. The beginning part of the book can seem semi-slow or boring if the reader is looking for adventure right away, but much of it sets up the story and develops characters so we get the full picture if the entire tragedy. Overall, though, it is a great book and will be enjoyed by anyone interested in Arctic adventure (sad though it may sometimes be).
4.0 out of 5 stars Chilling Tale,
As a tale of icy death and the lessons to be learned from it, "The Ice Master" ranks near the classic "The Last Place on Earth." As the author reveals, the "heroic" Vihjalmur Stefansson was not just a poor leader and planner, he was a coward who abandoned his people at the first opportunity, then blamed them for the ensuing disaster. At least Scott, for all his lack of foresight, had the courage to face death along with his men and to take responsibility for the failure. My only problem with the book was trying to follow all the crew's movements after the Karluk sinks. A few more detailed maps would have been helpful. I also wished for a more precise description of the firearms and equipment. These are minor flaws, however, and are more than made up for by the many haunting scenes. I find it hard to forget the main party's encounter with the doomed Beuchat sitting on the sea ice, his feet and hands too swollen to fit back in his shoes and gloves. Later on, the possibility of murder adds another dimension to the tale. Most terrible of all is the revelation of what became of the lost party. Read this book along with "Endurance" for a contrast, and to realize just what could have happened to the Endurance crew without Shackleton.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very, very good,
By A Customer
Overall I think that Jennifer Niven's account of this epic adventure is very good. I've got two areas of "criticism," one of which is probably unfair and one of which is speculation on my part. First (unfair), the second quarter of the book gets to be a bit mundane and reads, in some places, like a "data dump" of the survivor's diaries. The fact that this section of the book is a bit boring is probably quite reflective of the feelings that the subjects of the book had during this period of the adventure. Second (speculative), the book seems to me to be biased towards the views and observations of one of the characters (McKinley). I understand why this happened as he is the person who created the most first-person documentation of the adventure but I would advise the reader to take the descriptions of some of the more controversial events with a grain of salt. Overall, a great read. After getting through the mundane portion mentioned above I couldn't put it down.
5.0 out of 5 stars Cold just reading this one!!!!,
Ms. Niven has pulled together a wonderful account of the survivors of the Karkuk. This book is simply riveting from beginning to end and a must read for survivalist story fans. The sinking of the Karluk is proven to be just the beginning of the tale, but she never lets us miss a detail of the drifting along the ice for several months. The cracking and crushing of the ice as it works its crushing hands against the ship is described so well, you can almost hear it. These men, stranded on Wrangel Island as their brave captain + Eskimo, lived on mere rations more almost a year and still maintained a sense of hope. The fact that many survived showed that chracter and the will to live can sometimes be much stronger than the perils of starvation and frostbite (May I never find this to be true in my own life....) Each day, is lived in such agony, we the reader, are brought along the journeys with them, and feel as if we are leaving a group behind as the men move about the ice and land. A fascinating book, and well worth reading. After this, I promise you, saying "It's cold in here" will have a completely different meaning.
5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting story of survival & human spirit,
Carol S. (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
Jennifer Niven's experience as a screenwriter stands her in good stead in "The Ice Master," a gripping tale of the doomed Arctic voyage of the ship Karluk. It is nearly impossible to imagine how anyone survived the Karluk, a rickety ship unsuited to the rigors of Arctic travel, manned by an ill-equipped & inexperienced group. The ship quickly became immobilized by an ice floe, at which point the expedition's "leader" callously abandoned his men. Embedded in the floe, the ship floated aimlessly while the remaining crew and passengers struggled to survive. After enduring months in the ice-locked ship, the Karluk was destroyed by shifting ice masses and sank, forcing the group to abandon ship and make camp on top of the ice. Later, the survivors trekked across treacherous ice until they reached a small, nearly uninhabitable island. There they hung on for many more months until their rescue, suffering from starvation, disease, frostbite, despair, and infighting. Niven's vivid descriptions of the horrors & deprivations faced by these individuals leave you awestruck at the strength of the human body and the power of the human spirit. Surviving by chewing seal blubber and walrus hides - snow blindness - a mysterious illness that left most of the survivors nearly incapacitated - hunting for game on a desolate and barren Arctic island with a sharpened stick - enduring below-zero temperatures and gale-force winds & snow for weeks at a time - 24-hour darkness in the winter - amputating frostbitten tissue with a pocket knife - it is nearly unbelievable. (Also unbelievable but infinitely more cheering is that the Karluk's little black cat managed to survive the ordeal, too.) Truly a book you cannot put down, that takes you outside your world & transports you to another place and time, and leaves you marveling at the good and evil that reside inside us all.

God bless the food that comes from here. Every time I order delivery from Sale & Pepe they never fail to please! The staff is extremely caring and generous with their service. Get the outstanding 3 cheese & crackers for under $10, pair it with your own dessert wine, and you got yourself a fine day of food at home. :) Breakfast is one of the best downtown as well, and pretty inexpensive! Get the platters are the omelettes , pair with coffee and your mornings will most certainly be satisfied. 5/5

They have a delivery estimate of 15-30min., but the food rarely arrives on time. It's usually an hour long wait from when you palce your order. This has happened twice already. Best place an order for pickup or go there, but don't use the delivery service.

My husband, our daughters, 22 and 25 year olds, and myself were on vacation in New York. We were doing the site seeing tours and we were starving. We were trying to find something to eat on our budget and just happened to walk by Sale & Pepe. We started to walk past and the smell coming from the deli turned us around. It smelled so good. We went inside and we must have really looked confused and didn't know what to do. A gentleman came up to us and explained where everything was and how to order. We all ordered a smoked turkey with brie and honey mustard on a bagette. I believe it was around $6.00 Oh my they were so good and so big. We all only ate half of the sandwich and all got a doggy bag. The gentleman was so friendly the whole time we were there. I wish I had gotten his name. But, he knows who he is. Thank you for helping us make New York a great experience. The cannoli's were great also.

Sale n Pepe is a great restaurant/deli. It has tables outside for a nice day and inside for those cold days. The people are really friendly and the service is fast yet at perfect speed if your ordering for a delivery. All in all Sale N Pepe is the place to go when your tummy is rumbling!

Surprisingly the best pizza in the financial district is right here at this little deli/cafe. Always fresh and always a nice variety of slices. Delicious!
Posted by A Regular on 11/18/2004
The moment I step off my train, I think Sale & Pepe. Their breakfast menu is extensive, it's a bit country and very creative, just the way I like it! Something for everyone. Javier knows my name, Will knows my eggs and Brian knows what it takes to keep ya coming back for more. Sonia and the crew speed you through the line and you are out the door with something special. If you cater in for lunch, this is certainly the best in the area. Make an impression and call Sale & Pepe for your next luncheon, my clients and colleagues love them and so do I.

School Starts September 4
Resistance is Futile
This is the sign outside a high school in a neighbouring community. I, of course, said, "Yes, but denial is fabulous." Got a lot of agreement on that.
Reality is I love September and going back to school. It's one of the reasons teaching seemed like a good idea – the year begins in September. Just like it always has from the time I was 5 years old. I guess I like a few ruts in my life.
As I said to a colleague: I love chaos, very comfortable with lots of crazy activity, as long as there is a very strong, very tight, very box within which the chaos is happening. The box is the rut and the chaos is all the crazy new stuff for a new fun, improved, effective school year.
I am stressed. Yes I am. I am excited. Yes. And, while I don't want to miss the beginning of September and the beginning of school I would be happy to add another week to August.

[Part one of this series can be found HERE]
One of the major critiques Scot makes in his book; 'The King Jesus Gospel' concerns what he calls the 'Soterian Gospel'. Before I had a chance to interact with Scot in his class I assumed that his critique lay with the Billy Graham/Willow Creek approach to evangelism. I was wrong. Although these two elements of the church are included within his assessment the major element of his judgement is with reformed evangelicalism; the kind lead by Piper, Carson and other Gospel Coalition members.
Evangelicals, Matt Chandler and Greg Gilbert are two such leaders within this movement and their books represent a soterian approach to understanding the gospel. Now, let's remember that neither Scot nor I are necessarily disagreeing with the general nature of what they are saying; rather we disagree with their soterian emphasis as it relates to the meaning of the word Gospel.
Greg Gilbert's book 'What is the Gospel,' and Matt Chandler's 'Explicit Gospel,' represents a soterian approach to the gospel. Soterians, according to McKnight, 'equate the word gospel with the word salvation' leading to an understanding of the gospel with an emphasis on a personal salvation. McKnight suggests the soterian gospel is common amongst evangelicals because, 'When we evangelicals see the word gospel, our instinct is to think (personal) salvation'.[1] The author of this paper contends, because the soterian-gospel outlined by Chandler and Gilbert begins with the problem of sin it only finds its logical conclusion with salvation. The good news is only good news in relation to the bad news of sin.
Greg Gilbert's 'What is the Gospel?'
Gilbert's exploration of the biblical text is drawn primarily from Romans chapters 1 through 4. In Gilbert's opinion it is, 'One of the best places to start looking for a basic explanation of the gospel'.[2] He goes on to argue that in these chapters Paul 'structures his presentation of the gospel around a few critical truths:' Firstly, Paul establishes the accountability of his readers (the Romans) to God. Secondly, humanity has rebelled against God. Thirdly, 'God's solution to the problem of sin is the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.' And finally, Paul outlines to his readers how they are included in salvation. He summarises Paul's view of the gospel as 'God, man, Christ, response.' [3] This outline is almost identical to the structure used by Chandler.[4] This starting point leads to Gilbert framing the gospel in terms of the fall and sin and because Gilbert's gospel begins with a problem his answer to the question will always result in a soterian gospel approach. [5]
Matt Chandler's 'Explicit Gospel'
Chandler's approach to presenting the gospel systematically details his understanding of the gospel by exploring it from two vantage points that he names as 'the gospel on the ground' and 'the gospel in the air.'[6]
'The gospel on the ground' explores the character and nature of God and fallen man, the intervention of Christ, and the appropriate response of man to Christ's work on the cross.[7] Within this framework, Chandler is presenting the good news as information about how a person can be saved. Chandler depicts the gospel as a deep chasm between God and man that God, in Christ, has bridged the gap; something McKnight identifies at the heart of a soterian gospel.[8][9]
If the gospel on the ground is about getting right what one believes about God and the fallen state of humanity. The gospel in the air explains what the gospel means for creation and redemption and how the gospel is understood within the greater purposes of God's plan. Chandler outlines the gospel under the themes of; creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. Chandler contends 'The context of the gospel message is not our benefit or our salvation; the context of the gospel is the supremacy of Christ and the glory of God. This story of the good news is personal, but it is also cosmic.'[10] Although Chandler claims to look at the bigger picture what he in fact does is jump from Genesis 3 directly to Romans 3 thus ignoring the story of Israel and more importantly the story of Jesus in relation to the gospel. Is it any wonder there is in both arguments very little about the story of Jesus other than how his death and resurrection relate to fixing the problem of sin.
Sadly neither Chandler nor Gilbert explores the gospel outside the framework of Creation, fall and redemption. There is little to no discussion on the word gospel in the Greek and certainly no exploration of how the Gospels might inform one's understanding of the gospel. Furthermore, at no point do Chandler or Gilbert interact in any depth with 1 Corinthians 15 or recognise its importance as the earliest use of the word gospel.[11] Unlike McKnight, neither author engages with the historical use of the word 'gospel' in its first century context as McKnight's approach encourages one to do.
Chandler and Gilbert's presentation of the gospel is framed within a systematic doctrinal understanding of salvation. They begin with the problem of sin which leads to an argument always in search of a solution. The cross is at the centre of the gospel message and therefore, the ultimate answer to the problem.[12][13] As Chandler states, the cross is the "central tenant of all we believe about salvation" and the death of Jesus the wrath absorbing cross of Christ was the plan of God before creation".[14] Their soterian gospel deals only with salvation and ignores the larger gospel story of Israel and Jesus the Messiah as the fulfilment of Israel's story.
Unfortunately both authors, in my opinion, fail to locate the message of salvation within the story of Jesus (which I would argue is the gospel). Both spend large amounts of time diagnosing and addressing the problem of sin, as they understand it, and providing a soterian answer to the problem. Both provide a clear and distinct way to fix the problem but neither offers the gospel message in a manner suggested and modelled by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-28. Like I said previously I may not disagree with the reality of what they are saying just that I don't think a soterian approach is the gospel.
As Tom Wright suggests in relation to how people speak about the gospel in light of what St Paul really meant; although one may agree at many points with both Chandler and Gilbert their underlying understanding and framing of the gospel appears to have little basis in how Paul understood and framed it himself.
What do you think? Can the gospel story be separated from the gospel benefits?

Tigers wallop Panthers; are at Aztec for semis
In all the years of Los Lunas High football, the Tigers have never been able to play for a state championship.
If the undefeated Tigers can win the 1 p.m. Class 4A state semifinal on Saturday at Aztec, they'll get that chance.
It would help if the Tigers (11-0) can keep the momentum going from last Friday's 47-7 quarterfinal win over Piedra Vista. The mercy-rule win put the Tigers, the No. 2 seed in this year's 4A bracket, into the semifinals for the first time.
"We just need to keep playing hard," said Los Lunas coach Jeremy Newton. "We just took what they gave us, and followed the game plan."
The Tigers hosted a No. 7-seeded Piedra Vista team that had easily beaten St. Pius in the first round, with a high-powered, high-scoring offense. However, the Tigers were quick off the ball on both sides in Friday's game, and their defense took away nearly everything the Panthers (9-3) tried to do.
After Piedra Vista's first drive fizzled, Los Lunas' offense struggled slightly, but then got on track after a PV player muffed a fair catch on a punt, and the Tigers didn't look back.
Jalen Chavez and Darron Gallegos scored on short runs to help give the Tigers a 13-0 lead by early in the second quarter.
Piedra Vista's lone score came at the end of a long drive midway through the second period, aided by a long pass completion from Panther quarterback Isaiah Valdez to Bryson Martinez.
Valdez hooked up with Martinez for a 10-yard score on 3rd-and-goal to complete the scoring drive.
The Tigers scored twice in the final minutes of the half to go into the locker room with a 27-7 lead. Jacob Holland caught a pass from Chris Wisneski and forced his way to the goal line for a 9-yard touchdown with 2:15 left, and Chavez got his second TD on the 13-yard run to the left side with 38.6 seconds left in the half.
Los Lunas made some halftime adjustments, especially on defense, and came out even more fired up for the third quarter. The Tiger defense didn't allow Valdez to complete any passes in the second half, and Los Lunas held PVHS to five first downs and 42 rushing yards in the contest.
The Tigers scored three times in the third quarter. Wisneski threw a 23-yard TD pass that Chris Sanchez leaped for and grabbed away from a defender. Chavez scored on a twisting, turning, weaving 27-yard run, and Wisneski dove in on a 1-yard quarterback sneak on 4th-and-goal.
Los Lunas' second-string players also made some impressive plays after the running clock began due to the 35-point mercy rule.
Chavez rushed for 192 yards, while Gallegos added 119. Wisneski was 6-of-9 passing for 89 yards.
Los Lunas must travel because Aztec won a coin flip after beating Artesia on Saturday.
The higher seed hosts playoff games in the first two rounds, but in the semifinals and finals, the home field goes to the team that had to play on the road the last time the teams met in the playoffs.
Since Aztec and Los Lunas have never met in the playoffs, a coin flip was used, by rule.
Aztec, also called the Tigers, is only 7-4 on the year, but forged an impressive 61-55 overtime win at Artesia in Saturday's quarterfinal game. As the No. 6 seed, Aztec has apparently improved a great deal, especially on offense, since Los Lunas won in Aztec, 50-28, in the season opener for both teams. The Aztec Tigers lost 63-0 at Goddard the following week.
The game will be played at Fred Cook Memorial Stadium, located at C.V. Koogler Middle School, 455 N. Light Plant Rd., in Aztec.
The Tigers hope to establish a running game against Aztec, but Newton's team has adjusted frequently to defensive alignments, throwing often, when challenged to do so by its opponents.
Gallegos, the Tigers' hard-running junior fullback, said LLHS' confidence in its linemen is as high as it's been all year.
"We trust our linemen," said Gallegos. "As running backs, we just try to find linemen, and have them take us to the end zone."

State initiates gun buy back in Camden

As Camden cops investigated the town's 64th homicide, state Attorney General Jeff Chiesa came to town to announce a gun buy back. He has $100,000 to buy guns with no questions asked; individuals can get up to $250 for turning them over. "As we all recognize, there are too many guns on the street and too many people dying as a result of gun violence – not only in Camden County, but throughout New Jersey," said Chiesa. The event takes place at two churches on Dec. 14 and 15. Last year a similar buy back netted 53 guns. Do you think this is a good use of money?

I'm all for getting guns off the streets, but I'm not sure the right people will be the ones turning in their guns. Are there any figures from past buy-backs on whether gun crimes have gone down as a result of these programs? It seems to me that the people who don't find gun ownership all that important will welcome the chance to collect some cash, but the people who think that owning a gun is really important to them will hang on to their guns. In Camden I suspect that the criminals aren't going to be the ones turning in their guns.

the criminals will never hand in their guns. I don't know why we waste time and money on there people.
#3 Comment By Gene Doebley On December 7, 2012 @ 10:29 pm
OJ used a knife. Why aren't we doing a knife buyback? Does anyone seriously believe criminals are turning in guns?

After Floods, Nashville Proud Of Model Recovery
By Blake Farmer
As communities across the country's midsection respond to potentially historic flooding, federal emergency officials say they could take some cues from Nashville.

Psst. PSST! Hey. Hey Rob! Your fly's down. Robert Pattinson has been making the rounds these past few days, going for a full media blitz in the wake of the Category 500 sh-tstorm surrounding his breakup with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. On the surface it's merely to publicize his upcoming Cosmopolis film, but the romantic split is obviously on everyone's mind. So far he's hit up The Daily Show, GMA, and last night he attended TimesTalks alongside director David Cronenberg. With so many places to be and so many people to talk to, it's no surprise that you get kind of fried and little things start to fall through the cracks. Like zipping your pants, for example.
But one thing he did stay zipped up about was the drama with Kristen. New York Times journalist David Carr broached the subject during the live interview, which was also broadcast online. Comparing Robsten to the English royal family, Carr asked "So if you and Kristen have trouble it's like Charles and Di having trouble?" To be fair, Rob himself had brought up the subject of monarchy, blaming American's addition to fame on its lack of a royal family. So Carr took the opportunity to swoop in with the K-Stew question, and reaction from the crowd was not kind. According to the Daily News, the room filled with boos and shouts of "Next question!" were heard. Rob seemed caught off guard and gave a lengthy pause before responding "Well, uh, Charles…No, I wouldn't go that far."
On the other side of the relationship ring, Kristen is apparently seething over her portrayal in the media. Sources tell TMZ that while the actress obviously feels intense guilt and remorse, she's furious that Rupert Sanders isn't facing anywhere near the scrutiny and criticism that she has dealt with in the past few weeks. With rumors of being kicked out of a Snow What And The Huntsman sequel, K-Stew is concerned about her reputation and feels that she's being punished far to heavily for a mistake. Although she's taken responsibility for her actions, friends say Kristen is angry that Rupert -who is 19-years older with a wife and children- isn't being painted as a bigger villain. Friends like Jodie Foster have stepped up to show their support, but Kristen is reportedly (and rightfully) tired of taking the heat for a mistake that was caused by two people.

Scary moments Thursday morning for students at North Medford High School after the school was put into lockdown, as part of a drill.
One student told NBC 5 News that the school did announce over the intercom that it was just a drill, but some of the speakers in the school didn't work, causing panic for some.
Just after 9 this morning, Lynn McBee, a parent of a freshman, received a text message from her daughter saying, "I'm crammed in the closet with 20 plus kids, we are in lockdown."
"I kept saying, do you think this is a drill, and she said I don't know mom," McBee said.
Just 23 days into the new year and there have already been 6 school shooting across the country.
It's because of that growing number, the Medford School District has lockdown drills.
The district says both students and teachers are coached in what to do in an emergency. They also say drills are pre-planned while others are spontaneous.

It seems that I could not get enough of salsa this weekend because I made more today. This time it was more a traditional Mexican-style with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, serrano and chipotle peppers. It takes hardly any time to prepare. Just chop all ingredients to desired size and mix together in a large bowl. Let sit and marinate for a few about 5 minutes so that all the flavors can combine. Add chunks of avocado for an added texture. It made for a lovely, fresh and tasty afternoon snack!
Red Mexican Salsa

Why I Love Cherry Blossoms
-after a photo on a friend's facebook page
You will always make me smile
bringing existence to everything
making life worthwhile
calming and blessing my being.
My remedy, the opposite of stress.
The blood of my youth!
My rest,
my root
buds on every branch
beating my heart
with confidence
(Defy the Dark!)
through each and every season
we wake to meet each other.
My voice of reason.
I rediscover.
as dependable as day.
Yes, I am one of the lucky few.
I will be ok.

or simply for someone without a garden . . . or maybe just a moron like me who cannot get this stupid idea out of his head.
Step 2: Saw wood
Try to avoid the very knotty parts.
Step 3: Nail it together
I drilled holes in the outer parts, for the nails, because this cheap wood can split easily.
Step 5: Plant seeds
I eat a lot of hemp and flax (linseed) because of the omega oils; so I went my food cupboard and got a handful of flax.
I did not think that hemp was an option,( I made that mistake last year when I openly grew 20 hemp plants in my garden; I was told that they fall into the same legal status as cannabis)
Step 6: Wait a few weeks.
Ride around on your lovely flowery bike avoiding death threats from large men.
These have not flowered yet, (they will be blue, use your imagination.), but I couldn't wait any longer to publish.
Oh yes, keep it well watered; the plants will thrive and the soil won't get thrown out everytime you go up a kerb.
Good Luck,
UPDATE- Feb 2012-
This Instructable was recently featured in TreeHugger along with some other similar idea that made me smile.
But what a wipe out it would be.
Build a solar powered bike would be cool. Leave it in the sun and it stores the energy in a battery and off you go.
Steven - 9th best Internet marketer in the world
If you have some scrap jute hanging around from a mulching project, or some loosely woven burlap, you could make a sort of cover for the soil block. Cut it to the right size, use a staple gun to tack it in place. You can either work the fibers apart by hand if you want to plant starts, and then snug them up again, or just sow your seeds through the holes.
It may not save *all* your soil, but it will save a significant portion of it, I think.
I think doing this with something like red robin tomatoes would be fantastic.
It will reduce evaporation too.
It has a friction shifter to five speed rear mech but no front mech.

Hosting for Haiti
With the recent earthquake devastation that crippled the nation of Haiti a couple of weeks ago, the country is struggling to care for the injured, rebuild infrastructure and basically survive as a nation. There has been tremendous outpouring of support from around the world. To that end, GoGrid was among the initial group of internet hosting providers to announce support for Hosting For Haiti, a site where all of us hosting providers have put aside our differences in order to provide release for Haiti. We have made a significant donation to the American Red Cross and encourage you to help out in whatever way you see fit.
More information on Hosting For Haiti can be found at:

A Dreaded Bond
Few people can understand what golfer Dana Quigley is going through as his son contends with a traumatic brain injury. The author is one of them
PALM CITY, Fla. -- I knew it would be an emotional moment Sunday when I saw Dana Quigley for the first time at his son Devon's benefit at The Floridian.
"How ya doing?" I said as we embraced on the 16th tee.
"Well," he said softly, "you know."
Yes, I do.
When you share the despair of watching your son -- so alive and carefree one moment, then suddenly clinging to life with an ominous future -- words aren't needed for communication and compassion.
Our sons may have arrived at their current states by vastly different means -- my then-14-year-old boy Eric suffered an acquired-brain injury when he contracted encephalitis in 2005, and Devon was 27 when he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a car accident 15 months ago -- but the results are the same.
Related: Golf's most damaging injuries
A life-changing moment, not only for our boys, but for our families and close friends.
And as much as money might seem less important during these tragedies the first few months and years, it takes a lot of cash to deal with the after-effects. The hospitalizations. The therapies. The doctor visits. The medications. The nursing. The remodeling of the house. The wheelchairs and the vans.
That's why I was thrilled to see Devon's event become such a success. Organizer Hollis Cavner, who runs numerous tournaments on the Champions Tour, said more than $1 million was raised to help with Devon's medical expenses. It didn't hurt, of course, that Devon's event attracted a who's-who of golfing legends such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd and a half-dozen other Hall of Famers.
Nobody has to remind me of how the golf community comes together when one of its own is in need. Who was first pro golfer to call me and ask about Eric a few days after he was hospitalized?
Dana Quigley.
We had become friends because I was the golf writer at the Palm Beach Post when Dana rose from club pro obscurity to become an 11-time winner of ironman status on the Champions Tour. Not only do we share the same town (Quigley lives at Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach) but, for a while, the same church, United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches.
The church's parsonage is next door to our house and I will always remember how the former minister, Rev. David McEntire, kept asking me in late 2005 how Dana had done in the previous week's Champions Tour event. Rev. McEntire didn't know the difference between a birdie and a bunker, but Quigley had already promised he would donate a percentage of his Charles Schwab Cup winnings to the church. Quigley settled for second place in the Cup when Tom Watson shot 64 on the tour's final day of competition to edge him for the top spot, but Rev. McEntire was ecstatic about Quigley's generosity. "Dana turned me into a golf fan," Rev. McEntire said.

Earlier that summer, Quigley had called several days into Eric's hospitalization to ask about Eric. I told him things didn't look good. He encouraged me to stay strong and let him know if there was anything he could do to help.
Who knew, more than six years later, we would be having the same conversation about his son? About that paralyzing worst fear of every parent? At the same hospital?

96-Year-Old Woman Who Committed Suicide Was Mistaken For Mannequin And Thrown In Dumpster
A man mistook the body of a 96-year-old suicide victim for a mannequin and threw it in a dumpster, thinking someone was trying to prank him with a fake corpse.
ABC Action News reports that the 61-year-old unnamed employee of a Tampa apartment complex for senior citizens was taking a cigarette break at around 4:30 am Wednesday when he saw the body in the parking lot.
He dismissed what he thought was an April Fools' joke and returned to work. Another employee arrived two hours later and thought it was a mannequin with fake blood as well.
It was at this point when the desk clerk obtained the help of a mother and son delivering newspapers to put the body in a dumpster.
A maintenance worker came across the body at about 8 am and immediately realized it was a real human being.
The body was that of a woman who committed suicide by jumping from her 16th floor window.
A suicide note was found in her apartment.
Police said the desk clerk's mistake was somewhat understandable considering the darkness outside and the body's crumpled appearance due to the impact of the fall and rigor mortis setting in.
"Most people that are looking at this are going to assume that these people are all fools, but honestly it does appear that this was just an honest mistake," said Mike Puetz, a spokesman for the St. Petersburg Police Department.
The desk clerk's boss wasn't as forgiving, however, firing the employee shortly after even though no criminal charges have been filed.
A memorial has since been laid outside the Petersborough Apartments for Seniors by friends and family members who described the victim as kind, upbeat and intelligent.

A Review of The Genocide of the Ottoman Greeks: Studies on the State Sponsored Campaign of Extermination of the Christians of Asia Minor (1912-1922) and Its Aftermath: History, Law, Memory
Edited by Tessa Hofmann, Matthias Bjørnlund and Vasileios Meichanetsidis
The Genocide of the Ottoman Greeks digs deep into the deplorable actions of the dying embers of the Ottoman Empire and the foundation of the Turkish Republic, which systematically annihilated various Christian communities. These various Christian communities were the indigenous people and suffered such brutality because of their ethnicity and religious affiliation. However, in the vast majority of schools throughout Europe and further abroad, this "hidden genocide" remains "in the dark" because of enormous pressure from modern Turkey and other factors.
Like the title of the book implies, the area covered is the genocide of the Greek community. Indeed, this is the first academic publication on the Greek genocide therefore it will serve to be a valuable source of information. The brutality that occurred during this period of history is unimaginable and clearly it is essential that a major academic publication deals with this very important subject. Therefore, The Genocide of the Ottoman Greeks fills this academic gap and sheds light on a genocide which needs more international attention.
On the Greek Genocide website it is stated that "During the years 1914-1923, whilst the attention of the international community focused on the turmoil and aftermath of the First World War, the indigenous Greek minority of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Turkey's predecessor, was subjected to a centrally-organized, premeditated and systematic policy of annihilation. This genocide, orchestrated to ensure an irreversible end to the collective existence of Turkey's Greek population, was perpetrated by two consecutive governments; the Committee for Union and Progress, better known as the Young Turks, and the nationalist Kemalists led by Mustafa Kemal "Atatürk". A lethal combination of internal deportations involving death marches and massacres conducted throughout Ottoman Turkey resulted in the death of one million Ottoman Greeks."
William Ramsay, a British ethnographer, visited the Ottoman Empire and clearly he understood what Turkish Muslim rule meant. He commented that the "Turkish rule… meant unutterable contempt… The Armenians (and Greeks) were dogs and pigs…to be spat upon, if their shadow darkened a Turk, to be outraged, to be the mats on which he wiped the mud from his feet. Conceive the inevitable result of centuries of slavery, of subjection to insult and scorn, centuries in which nothing belonged to the Armenian, neither his property, his house, his life, his person, nor his family, was sacred or safe from violence – capricious, unprovoked violence – to resist which by violence meant death."
Henry Morgenthau, the ambassador of the United States (1913-1916) to the Ottoman Empire, stated that the policies of the Turkish government led to "outrageous terrorizing, cruel torturing, driving of women into harems, debauchery of innocent girls, the sale of many of them at 80 cents each, the murdering of hundreds of thousands and the deportation to and starvation in the desert of other hundreds of thousands, [and] the destruction of hundreds of villages and many cities", all part of "the willful execution"
Comments and areas covered by The Genocide of the Ottoman Greeks
"The period of transition from the collapse of the Ottoman Empire to the foundation of the Turkish Republic was characterized by a number of processes largely guided by a narrow elite that aimed at constructing a modern, national state. One of these processes was the deliberate and planned elimination, indeed extermination, of the Christian (and certain other) minorities. According to demographic studies, the numbers are stark: In 1912 the areas of Asia Minor and Thrace were inhabited by about 4-5 million Christians and 7-8 million Muslims; by 1923 only 250-300,000 Christians remained."
"Raphael Lemkin, the legal scholar who introduced the term genocide into international law, formulated his early ideas on the definition of this war crime by studying the destruction of the Christians of Asia Minor, while the distinguished Turcologist Neoklis Sarris has noted that the annihilation of the Christian minorities represented an integral element in the formation of the Turkish Republic. As the editors of this volume note the 2007 resolution by the International Association of Genocide Scholars, recognizing the Greek and Assyrian Genocides suggests a wider range of victim groups. This volume therefore represents an effort to provide an outline and a direction of a more extensive study of the deliberate destruction and elimination of a Greek presence that spanned over three millennia, in the space that became the Turkish Republic." [http://www.greek-genocide.org/iags_resolution.html]
"The last two decades have seen a massive amount of research of the genocide of the Armenian population in the Ottoman/Turkish space. Much less scholarly work has been done on the genocide of the Greeks of Asia Minor and Thrace; there are many reasons for this, including the fact that Turkish governments have been successful in intimidating diplomats in the context of Turkish-Greek relations of the last generation, and of subverting academic integrity (inducing some scholars to make a career as denialists supported by international NGOs, all in the name of countering nationalism)."
"The volume includes article contributions on the areas subtitled: Historical Overview, Documentation, Interpretation; Representations and Law; Genocide Education; Memorialization; Conceptualization; and a very extensive Bibliography"
This book is essential reading for all people who are concerned about the genocide of Christians by Turkish rulers. The denial of the genocide encouraged Adolf Hitler because he stated "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians? Therefore, the book called The Genocide of the Ottoman Greeks is a must read in order to fully understand the brutal reality of what happened to the Ottoman Greeks and other minorities.

Historical revisionism;
-The critical re-examination of presumed historical facts and existing historiography-
or in the case of Genocide of the Ottoman Greeks; shedding light on an almost forgotten story.
Fictional revisionism;
-The retelling of a story with substantial alterations in character or environment to 'revise' the view shown in the original work-
or in case of the Quran; The rewritng of stories from existing scriptures so they can serve your interests and agenda

9:123 : O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness
9:29 : Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
5:33 - The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement....
The only way to avoid this fate is by converting to Islam.
Any enemy of allah can be killed it is clear that the Ottoman
Turks had the approval from their stoned-gawd allah to kill they deemed the "enemies of allah/Islam"

And Believe me or not, Most of Anatolian Turks are nothing but converted Greeks and Armenians. Anatolian Turks do not look like asian Turks like Kazakhs, Turkmens, Uzbeks, Uyghurs...
Anatolian Turks are actually Armenian, Greek, Persian, Kurd, Albanian, Bosnian. Those who accepted Islam and Turkish nationality, saved his/her live. Those who did not killed without mercy.

When religion books says … Bad people going to burn for ever and ever with no end to burning … that is by it self, should proof it is nothing but a man made invention to terrify and put fear in the hearts of others to control and dominate.
Logic says … In our world ,punishment and torture of criminals has to have an end …even death penalty has an end … it is death …
Aso ...Sure it looks barbaric but when it is done ...it is done to inflect the minimum amount of torture … they even ask the criminals for their choice of best last meal …
so …. if we…. just lowly humans, can figure out that no crime deserves a '' a '' for ever ''torture punishment'', A God should do a lot better then a HUMEN …. especially if God brages endlessly about his enless MERSY
When a punishment goes on for ever and it does not equals the crime, that , chips a way, or erases the claim, religion books make '' for ever mercy ''.

I use logic as my flash light to take a look to known fact in religion books …which is '' to be tortured in hell for ever and ever for eternity '' … and as you know logic is somewhat universal and tend to be compass that lead all humen to same conclusion …unlike believe which is very personal.
A belief in a wonder like paradise is great and I like the idea .. but it is still built on another belief … and that in turn built on another … and so on …
In my life time I discovered to not to give abandonment to belief … but to give abandonment to logic and that led to know there is no way there is hell as described … at least in Quran …
it is absolutely does not make any sense .

And those who are on the road to hell willingly put themselves there due to their rejection of the Lordship and Sonship of Jesus Christ. But God does not desire the death of the wicked but wants all to come to repentance and eternal life through His Son, the Lamb of God sent to take away the sins of the world.

Yes I agree Logic does not have the answer for everything …. but it is closer to it, then anything out their … don't you agree ?
A non believer and a believer will agree on most things when logic is the compass but when belief is the compass … then there is endless variations because people are different, there for, they think differently …. it is so personal
In Islam the difference between Muslim believers and how they practice is so clear … [ I bring that example because I know it better ] … there is no two Muslim who think the same … there is 200 sexts of believes in Islam that interpret Quran on there own differently and the people of each sect have their own applications … and they all barge how they are the right Muslim who fallow Islam the right way.
I mean look at the three Muslims we had here … Reed did not think like Abs … Malam does think exactly like muslim and proud … and so on .. I could sit here and I will bring you endless example of how the belief of the believers differ .

EXACTLY. They are your words up there.
Islam is not a monolith.
So why do you and and other islamwatchers paint it as if it is???
Why do you then write articles proclaiming the absolute truth?
Hate and bigotry is an ugly thing.
written by Yibel , May 22, 2012
Logic is not a part of Islam, and that is the problem. It is not even possible to reason with an illogical person. Islam demands complete obedience to its mantra - blind obedience - without reason or logic. The individual person no longer exists, but must SUBMIT - fully! When to recite mantras. How to recite mantras. Where to recite mantras. How to groom. What to wear. What to eat. How to treat other members of the ummah; how to treat those who are unbelievers. And on and on.
A Muslim is a mindless zombie. Logic, reason, empathy, conscience - these are all gone. And what remains is a pschopath - dangerous, hostile, volatile!
written by fienliving56 , May 22, 2012
We are talking about The absolute truths as we read it in your Quran it self … all Artical are taking about things written in Quran .. as it is …
You are talking about a belief that A Muslim have in his head … how he interpret things in his Quran … as he sees it … which is very strong and it tend to sway peoples believes to suit their own wants and needs
they believe it this way and that way , because they wanted it this and that way .
there is a huge difference between a critic that used proofs from real sources ,in contrast of a wide eye believer who is up to his forehead with the grand Islam …
a critic of a film and the man who associated with the film for sure going to have different opinions ….
the second has benefit to be favorable to it so he going to be bias .
The critic does not have this issue … The Articles here are critiquing Islam and they use logic to do it …

So Islam varies from person to person?
And I thought it was just one Islam from Quran and the associated baggage i.e. sunnah hadith et. al.

Let's see …
there is the one who ...covers and preys, but do not fast, because as she says …she is sick and Allah, she is sure, do not want her to be hurt …
There is the one who ...prays five times a day and fast and make Zakat but dress in sleeveless tops and low cut dresses and have a dog inside her home and she love him as a you love a child …..
One time I asked her about the dog, she reminded me of Allah own love for the dogs of people of the cave and the fact that Allah mentioned them 4 times they were sleeping in the caves with them.
There is the one who ...covers and fast and make zakat, but never prays …she says, she is too busy working and have kids and home to take care off and says Allah will forgives her because she is doing more work then she asked by Allah .
There is the one who … covers in the winter and takes it off in the summer [ she is the funniest ] … she says … Allah cares about what in her heart … in the summer I suffocate and I absolutely cannot stand it on my head in 100 degrees .. so allah will forgive me for not veiling all seasons [ lol] .
Of course … there is the ones who ….do it all .. as Muhammad instructed … they are so terrified from Jahanim, they become like walking Quran reciting machines …that is spits accusations of being bad Muslimahs to all other muslimhs, to the point, no one wants to socialize with them .
Wander land … isn't ?

This story had been around for several hundred years before Muhammad's time, and was still being told in the 14th century in Christian countries and was included in the western Golden Legend, by far the most popular book of the later middle ages. The story is one of the many tales/fables that Muhammad plagarized for his Qur'an.
It's about some CHRISTIAN lads (not Muslims) who hid in a cave near Ephesus (in present day Turkey) during a time when Christianity was forbidden by the Romans. When they emerged after sleeping for several hundred years, Christianity had been declared okay.
But here's the funny part: Muhammad's stoned-gawd, or the go-between apparition, didn't tell Muhammad how many Christians hid in the cave, so Muhammad had to make a guess. He decided to cover all the bases - first he said 3, then 5, and then 7 - and he threw in a guard dog for good measure.
Muhammad said that Jibril, the apparition told him to Say: "My Lord (Al-Muqtadir, The Determiner, The Dominant or maybe it was Ar-Rahman) best knows their number. Few know them.'
As for Al-Raqim: Nobody knows! This might be the name of their dog, the mountain where the cave is located, or the tablet on which their names were inscribed.

How much fun this would have been to rock out at! The Kids Inaugural Concert (part of a series of events centering around President Obama's inauguration) too place in Washington DC this weekend for children of military families. The First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters, Malia and Sasha were there and performers like Katy Perry, Usher and Nick Cannon took to stage. Our focus here, though, is Ms. Perry because it was a little hard to not focus on her! We already know Katy's a huge Obama supporter — she's even had him stenciled on her nails! But a group of us were taking a look at pictures from the concert and there she was, dressed in a very Wonder Woman-esque outfit comprising hot pants and a basque, patriotically festooned with the Stars and Stripes, of course. Is it cute? Kind of. Is it gimmicky? Sure. But we're wondering if it's tacky as well. We personally think it is. But our opinion doesn't matter here. Yours does. Let us know what your thoughts are. Should Ms. Perry maybe decide to dress a little more appropriately now or is this something you consider all in good fun?

Book a Holiday Getaway
Thursday, November 8th, 2012
If you're looking for a last minute holiday get away, check out the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico – the queen bee of family stays. Located on 500 acres of a 73,000-acre Native-American reservation, the resort hosts unbeatable views of the Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande and an even more unbeatable lineup of activities for the holiday season.
The Tamaya Resort and Spa has an assortment of family-friendly excursions year round, ranging from hot air balloon rides to tribal dancing performances. But when you go in November, you can take part in hay ride tours, landscape painting classes, treasure hunts, and a pueblo-style Thanksgiving celebration. Or enter a New Mexico-style winter wonderland in December, for ornament making, gingerbread house decorating, and stories and s'mores under the stars. The best part? Most of the activities are either free for guests or super affordable.
Don't miss out on booking one of the 350 pueblo-style rooms from now until February 28 for the awesome $155 per-room winter rate that includes 20 percent off trail rides, spa and salon treatments, and green fees at the Twin Warriors Golf Club. It's definitely a steal for the gorgeous setting and one-of-a-kind amenities, but more so for the peace of mind that even though Albuquerque and Santa Fe are less than 50 miles away, there's enough excitement at the resort to keep your kiddies entertained from check-in to check-out.Add a Comment
