For anyone looking for an even-keeled, considerate lover, you're their man. You're sophisticated. You know what you want both in a relationship and outside of it. You have a substantial romantic side, and you're experienced enough sexually to handle yourself in that arena, too. Your future relationships will be long-lasting; you're classic "marrying material," a prize in the eyes of many.
It's possible that behind it all, you're a bit of a male slut. Your best friends know that in relationships you're fundamentally sex-driven. You're a safe, reliable guy, who does get laid. In a lot of ways, you're like a well-worn, comfortable pair of socks. Did you ever jack off into one of those? All the time. lmao!!! Yup Sure there horniekins
Your ideal mate is NOT a nut-job. She is giving and loving, like you, but also experienced. Avoid the The Battleaxe at all fucking costs. I know what you mean jelly bean.
CONSIDER: The Maid of Honor, someone just like you. What just like me? What ever there GEEKTARD I ain't no "Maid of honor" So go and spank a Green monkey and sniff Moldy Sasquatch ballz got it nucker?
And an other thing i like to do is write from time to time. Poetry that is. Jus ask and I'll share abit with you. I also like to have fun. You know going out or just being tranquial. Whatevr Comes pops in my head.
I am transcendent, pleasant, and lenient

I have never ordered a shoe from the Sak before so this was a first...how could I resist the beautiful colors on this black flip-flop?!! I have found it very comfortable with no break in time and true to size and color. Would highly recommend as it jazzes up any outfit! Just love it and plan to order another pair in beige when they have my size.

Great sandals! I got the beach stripe one, had to order it from The Sak's website b/c there were no department stores near me that offered this particular type. I am glad I spent the money! The size I chose was true to it's size, the sandals are comfortable and stylish. I get many compliments. Great all the way!

According to Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle the injury that Raiders FB Marcel Reece suffered versus the Redskins will not require require surgery however there is no timetable for the return of Reece or RB Darren McFadden who also suffered an injury on Sunday.
Marcel Reece had MRI on knee, nothing surgical is needed. Allen said too early to speculate how long he & Darren McFadden (hamstring) out
— Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) September 30, 2013
The Raiders will likely have Terrelle Pryor back for Sunday night's matchup against the Chargers but they would love for the full arsenal of weapons to be healthy enough to contribute as well.


text: David, you mean you don't want to journey to Kansas to pick up your order? I could pick you up at the Kansas City airport; four or five hours later we could be in Wichita at Don's place. Then you could say you met the two Large Format guys in Kansas! (Sorry, couldn't resist. Actually, we could pick up the entire order after picking you up at the airport, assuming it would fit in my pickup.)

At the Mediterranean Grand Prix, Arif Al Zaffain and Mohammed Al Marri eased to their fourth win of the year with an untroubled flag-to-finish victory in race 1. Behind the winners, the fight for the podium was between LFF10 and Zabo-Isiklar but despite taking the chequered flag in second place, Luca Formilli Fendi and Giovanni Carpitella paid the price for destroying a turn buoy on the opening lap.
Victory team crossing the line in race 1 of the 2013 Mediterranean Grand Prix
The Italians incurred a 25-second post-race penalty, which combined with the 20-second time compensation given to Ugur Isik and Christian Zaborowski, dropped them to third.
The Victory duo grabbed hold of the race from the start to lead by seven seconds at the end of the start lap increasing the gap to 26-seconds by mid race, going on to close out the win and complete the 11-lap, 53.06Nm race in 32:04.84s. 'We had the right set-up for the flat conditions and the plan was to be in front at the first turn and we did just that,' said Arif Al Zaffain. 'We were able to control the race from that point and at about half way we eased back.'
The only slight controversy surrounding the defending Champions emphatic win was a 25-second post-race time penalty given to them for passing a mark of the course on the wrong side. But despite the penalty they still managed to win by almost 15-seconds.
2013 Mediterranean Grand Prix - 91 Zabo-Isiklar - U Isik (TUR) / C Zaborowski (NOR)
Zabo-Isiklar and LFF10 continued their post-qualifying duel and produced a sensational opening two laps trading places, racing side-by-side just inches apart.
Isik and Zaborowski led at the end of lap one but by less than two-tenths of a second, then immediately conceded the position at the first turn with Formilli Fendi and Carpitella passing them on the inside.
The Italians were then able to pull away opening up a 23-second lead as they took the chequered flag in second spot. But it was the opening lap that would prove costly, the additional 25-second penalty costing them the runners-up slot.
'I am very disappointed,' said team-owner driver Luca Formilli Fendi. 'The start lap was horrible but we came back on the next lap and had a good battle with Norway [Zabo-Isiklar]. But then I made a mistake and took out a buoy. I accept the penalty but Victory missed a single course marker and should have been disqualified. This is something that needs to be talked about.'
Victory team claim race 1 win at 2013 Mediterranean Grand Prix
For Christian Zaborowski a third runners-up slot was a good result for the team after the work they have done on the boat and as much as they could have hoped for. 'I am happy with the result. We just didn't have any more pace. We tried to keep the gap down to Fendi and if he didn't hit the buoy he would have been second. So we are a little bit lucky. But we raced well, Ugur drove really well but we are at our maximum in terms of pace and performance. I am just waiting for everyone to be using the same propellers. Then we will see what happens.'
Behind the top three LFF8's Miles Jennings and Alfredo Amato ran a very solid and rather solitary race to finish well ahead of fifth placed FA.RO. Acciai, with Tarik Oktem taking his seat behind the wheel to join Giampaolo Montavoci in Poliform and picking up points in sixth.

House style animation i made half a year ago
and a midnight photoshop doodle
About a month ago i decided to do daily selfportraits to improve my drawingskills.
Some are 3 minutes, some 15, some are lefthanded some with markers or coloured pencils.
Thanks for Looking,
Cool sb so far. Your pencil work on some of the portraits is really nice, but maybe take your time with them, since there's distortion in quite a few of them. One eye's a little off, or the nose is malformed, etc. Nothing time and patience can't fix.
Keep it up.
Es fließt durch meine Venen, Es schläft in meinen Tränen
Es läuft mir aus den Ohren, Herz und Nieren sind Motoren
Thanks Dfacto! Youre right, I see the selfportraits more as experiments then professional drawings
Another selfportrait (without mirror or anything, I look a little bit different) theme is inspired by Carl Jung
WIPs for this week's CHOW
Character = King Arthur
pretty cool stuff you got going here i dont know if its your style or that ur not doing it on purpose but you dont pay any attentention to the feet?
If you find it hard to draw them then you HAVE to draw them even if your picture turns out looking weird i guess,, but then again i dont know if you rly have a hard time drawin gthem,, it just came to my attention!
Very cool SB so far! keep it up!

I never knew you could clean dish sponges by putting them in the dishwasher. I had just been throwing them away. .
you can do toothbrushes that way, too (especially good if people in the house have been sick...) You can microwave sponges to kill bacteria, too.

Wading slowly and nervously into this homeschooling thing.
With regard to the self cleaning oven. If you have birds make sure you ventilate the house well. The fumes can kill birds. Also never self clean the oven prior to thanksgiving or any other important meal. The self cleaning oven feature can be hard on the oven, and you don't want your oven dying right when you really need it.
I was shocked when my Mom told me that my pillows needed to be washed twice a year. I had no idea. I always assumed that the pillow case being changed weekly was clean enough.
Wow. I have never done this! Maybe I should...

Wines of Margaret River

These notes accompany our in-depth feature on
Margaret River, Australia
See all stockists of Xanadu on
Xanadu, Exmoor Drive Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2009
Quite powerful, apple and citrus nose, any more vegetal Sauvignon character well in the background. The palate has a gooseberry bite and intensity, a touch of leafy green herbs and a more unctuous, almost pineapple fruit in the background. Quite richly-textured and balanced by zesty acidity, this drinks well and has a nicely balanced style with only 12.5% alcohol. 87/100
Xanadu, Exmoor Drive Chardonnay 2008
There's a green fig and pleasantly hazelnut note to this wine, with orchard fruits beneath. Wild yeast fermentation does give a nicely funky, earthy character too. On the palate the barrel influence is quite prominent, with a sweetness of fruit also dominant. That vanilla and tropical fruit attack is met rather abruptly by a bold, lemony acidity. This keeps the wine fresh, but perhaps a touch disjointed too. 86/100.
Xanadu, Chardonnay 2008
Again, wild yeast fermentation and ageing in French oak barriques (25% new) are part of the equation here, and the nose displays that funky, complex character with a trace of something earthy and meaty that's verging on being indistinct, but a nuttiness and green-fruited quality begins to come through. On the palate this comes together well: there's a big, pithy, almost sour acidity at the core of this, but wrapped around it are softly toasty, nougat flavours and some ripe, sweet fruit, in a wine that ends up quite complex and with good balance. 89/100.
Xanadu, Exmoor Drive Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
There's a fine, sweet, almost blood-streaked gamey edge to the black fruit on this wine, with a classic hint of Margaret River herbaceousness. On the palate ripe black fruit - cassis and black cherry - are tinged with some smoky oak and a hint of bittersweet cocoa. There's a certain freshness too thanks to good acidity and a tight, grippy line of tannin. 88/100.
Xanadu, Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
This handsome, tall bottle contains Cabernet that spent 14 months in French oak, around 55% of it new. That herbal quality is here again, but this time joined by more subtle, integrated notes of cedar and incense, and a coffeeish warmth to the black fruit character. On the palate this has a fairly grippy, stern core of acid and tannin that should help it to age positively, as the fruit is sweet and has a nice density. It perhaps lacks a touch of flesh on the mid-palate, but is a wine with very good components and a certain elegance. 90/100.

B.Sc. Financial Mathematics
- On Campus
- 36 months
- GBP10350 Year (Non-EEA)
- English (Find a course)
The analysis of modern financial market data relies heavily on mathematical and statistical techniques. Mathematical techniques and tools devised using financial mathematics have contributed greatly to the development of the financial services industry and continue to play a key role in this sector.
This programme starts with a firm foundation to the mathematics and statistics that is in daily use in the financial industry. It then leads to advanced studies in financial mathematics, including asset price modelling, the risk-neutral pricing of financial derivatives, time series analysis, actuarial maths, and financial econometrics. This prepares graduates with relevant mathematical and statistical backgrounds to enter careers in the financial services industry, actuarial and insurance sectors or further study in financial mathematics.
The final year includes an advanced project on a topic in financial mathematics. In response to increased student interest, we also offer courses such as Mathematics and Society and Mathematics Education and Communication. The latter offers teaching experience through the Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme (UAS).
The aims of the programme are:

No Sweetness Here and Other Stories
No Sweetness Here, Ama Ata Aidoo's early volume of short fiction, is now available in the U.S. Set in West Africa, these stories chart a geography of consciousness during a period of transition from a colonial society through independence into a postcolonial world still in progress today. The characters-as many men as women come alive on these pages-enjoy good fortune and suffer pain in a tradtional African manner: through brilliant, witty, defiant, image-laden speech. The style of these stories renders African orality dramatically; characterization emerges as much through the unique voice as through physical appearance.
The special strength of these stories lies in Aidoo's sensitivity to men's as well as women's lives. Sometimes one can feel even more compassion for the men who are often set in ways counter-productive to living in an African-controlled but tightly-hierarchical society. Even the most critical consciousness-the Western-educated African living abroad or returning home-sometimes doesn't "get it," for the changes are too vast, the future too uncharted.
The title story suggests more than meets the eye. If there is no "sweetness," there is the salt essential to life, even if it comes from tears, and the strength that comes from a history of endurance. There is also the wit of the word and the compassion of family and friends. The volume is at once entertaining and deeply instructive not only about a changing Africa, but about such universal themes as love, marriage, work, family, sacrifice, privilege, and hierarchy.

Defense shines at second LU football spring scrimmage
BEAUMONT, Texas – The Lamar Cardinals ran approximately 60 plays in Saturday's scrimmage to close out the second week of spring camp. The scrimmage highlighted the potential of Lamar's young, inexperienced defense which came through for several big plays.
Facing an offense that returns the majority of its starters from a record-setting 2013 campaign, the defense took center stage Saturday. The Cardinals' defense combined to record seven tackles for losses – including four sacks – four pass break ups and two fumbles, one of which was returned 98 yard for a touchdown.
"I was very proud of our defense today," said head coach Ray Woodard. "We have so many new faces on that side of the ball that we are going to see some inconsistency until they get the experience. With so many pieces of the puzzle returning on offense, I think we will go as far as our defense will take us.
"These guys continue to get better with more reps, and we, as a staff, are hoping that will continue throughout the offseason and into 2014, so by the time we get to conference our defense is a cohesive unit. We are hoping it will be similar to last year where the offense struggled a bit early but really came on down the stretch. We are looking for similar improvement from our defense this year," added Woodard.
Lamar's first team defense forced the first offense off the field after surrendering just one first down, but it was the second-team offense that recorded the first big play of the day. Sophomore-to-be Rex Dausin found Jayce Nelson for a 68-yard completion for the touchdown. It was one of six receptions the Port Neches native made on the day. He finished the scrimmage with six catches for 107 yards.
Following the scoring play, 2013 starting quarterback Caleb Berry guided the offense down the field mixing an effective run game while completing all three of his pass attempts during the drive. Despite allowing the offense to move the ball, the defense got the stop without surrendering a score.
It was Berry's next series on the field when the defense took center stage. The defense forced the LU offense into the negative on five consecutive plays. Linebacker Mike Hargis got things started with the first sack of the scrimmage, followed by Logan Moss knocking down a pass at the line of scrimmage. That was followed by a Keith Curran sack and a deflected pass by Montez Hunter. The very next play saw David Hollyfield breakup a Robert Mitchell pass attempt.
Lamar's signal callers finished the game19-of-30 (.633) for 258 yards and four touchdowns. Dausin had his best outing of the spring completing 8-of-9 (.889) passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns, while Berry was 9-of-15 for 73 yards a score. Although redshirt freshman Robert Mitchell finished the day 2-of-6 (.333) passing, he was very effective carrying the ball four times for 61 yards and a score.
Lamar ran the ball 23 times for 146 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore-to-be Emmitt Raleigh had nine carries for 37 yards, while transfer Carl Holmes six rushes for 37 yards.
Junior to-be Reggie Begelton hauled in only three catches on the day, but one of them was a 12-yard TD pass from Berry. Junior-to-be Gratian Gladney added three receptions for 68 yards and two scores.
Hunter led the LU's defense with five stops, while transfer Tylond Robertson added for tackles. Moss recorded four tackles, including two sacks, and a pass break up while Curran added four tackles and a sack. Junior-to-be Tommie Barrett forced the fumble on the two-yard line that was recovered and returned 98 yards for a score by Xavier Bethany.

IvanaBpoor is too funny...... Who tells the board where they are as if it would make any difference or have thier aliases congratulate them for making an imaginary gain on a stock they never post about until it goes up. Very sad to think she believes that people are this gullible. Meanwhile the dogs she post about all day with all the aliases just grind down into the twilight zone. LOL

Who decides whether war continues or not in Iraq? Some might answer Gen. David Petraeus. Others might say Congress. But most probably believe the president has oversight of foreign and war policies. After all, he is the commander in chief, correct?
But to whom did our Founders point? They believed the president's duty is to carry out policy, not make it -- something that is the duty of Congress. That is why so many strict constitutionalists have labeled our battles in Iraq as unconstitutional. Many accuse our president of not only going to war without a congressional declaration but also making other unilateral international policies.
On the other hand, pro-Bush allies say executive government officials always have initiated emergency war decisions, such as in Korea and Vietnam. Still others say Iraq is a continuation of the same Middle East war that began in Afghanistan. Some even point to Thomas Jefferson, who confessed and appealed to Congress in 1801 that he was "unauthorized by the Constitution, without the sanction of Congress, to go beyond the line of defense" when he sent a small regiment of warships to the Mediterranean to ward off attacks by the Barbary States.
I completely honor and support our service members. That is why I've been to Iraq twice, shaking hands and encouraging nearly 40,000 troops. I believe we ought to enforce our borders better, as well as carry out tactical means abroad to deter terrorism at home. And I don't believe our Founders could have imagined the type of global terrorism we wage war against today. But my devout patriotic support and beliefs do not take away from the fact that we must continue to follow constitutional protocol in engaging in and disengaging from any war.
I'm not a constitutional lawyer. I'm not pretending to be. But I've gained a great appreciation for our history and Founders. And they didn't bottle up the choices of war in one person, but many. Those are the checks and balances of power they provided for us. Here are a few of their select thoughts:
-- "The Congress shall have Power … To declare War." (Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution)
-- "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States." (Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution)
-- "This system will not hurry us into war; it is calculated to guard against it. It will not be in the power of a single man, or a single body of men, to involve us in such distress; for the important power of declaring war is vested in the legislature at large." (James Wilson, 1787)

Ridley has made a stirring debut here and his future on the scene seems very bright after this fine start**** - Marlbank

Whirlwind Recordings is proud to introduce 'Thymos'
by Matt Ridley
(First Class Shipping)
Following an initial incarnation as a trio, saxophone star Jason Yarde joined the band after appearing as a special guest on 'Thymos', the critically acclaimed debut album by Matt Ridley. Since the release in 2013, the band has been touring as a quartet and recently recorded a 2nd studio album comprised entirely of original music. Watch this space for more info, and read about 'Thymos' below!
Whirlwind Recordings is proud to introduce 'Thymos'
by Matt Ridley
'One of 2013's best UK jazz releases'- Marlbank
Thymos is the debut album by one of the UK's most creative and hard working young bassists, Matt Ridley, OUT NOW on one of the world's premier new creative music labels, Whirlwind Recordings. Released in October 2013 to critical acclaim, the group has also enjoyed an extensive UK tour playing to enthusiastic live audiences.
The genesis of this album project came from working with Oud virtuoso Attab Haddad (featured on the album), and Azeri violinist Sabina Rakcheyeva (joint composer of Hijaz), in a band featuring pianist Mercury Award Nominated artist Kit Downes and percussionist Vasilis Sirikis (also featured).
"I envisaged a sound encompassing the exotic flavours and emotions of Middle Eastern music, with the jazz sensibility of improvisation on complex structures," says Ridley on the inspiration behind his original music on Thymos.
By fusing the modal and rhythmic elements of Middle-Eastern music with the harmonic complexities of jazz, Ridley's composition 'Siddhartha' was born, and what followed was a stream of ideas which aligned themselves into the other music on the album, with influences as diverse as funk, modern jazz, and 20th century minimalism.
The core of the album is the tight unit that is the 'Matt Ridley Trio.' Comprised of the award-winning pianist John Turville, the highly musical (not to mention fiercely virtuosic) drumming talents of George Hart, and Ridley at the helm, the trio soars through the leaders' genre-bending improvisational territory with wit and aplomb, no matter if the musical terrain is tricksy or serene, creating a unique sound world unlike any working unit in London today. As a bassist, Ridley is solid to the core, yet light on his fingers across the fretboard as he navigates his own compositions using them as a vehicle for expression as a soloist, in which he succeeds greatly.
Special guest saxophonist and globally recognized composer Jason Yarde perfectly assimilated the feeling of Ridley's compositions, singing the melodies from the depths of his soul, and improvising in a way that few saxophonists working in jazz could conceive.
The result is Ridley's shining achievement; a debut album that is an honest and genuine representation of his musical tastes and experience, featuring brilliant improvisations from all members of the band, and retaining a fresh and exciting sound throughout.
"Matt Ridley's trio project is full of spirited energy and clearly etched interplay, sometimes augmented by Jason Yarde on sax. Their music is certainly modern, yet appealing to older ears attuned to acoustic jazz and its long exploratory history. Matt's compositions take in counterpoint, odd metres, ethnic influences, and generally exult in the complexity of today's improvised music. This is clearly the work of someone eager and able to say something original in the jazz tradition. Incidentally, Matt has been a member of my UK quartet for six years." - Darius Brubeck (Jazz Pianist, and son of the legendary Dave Brubeck)
"Matt Ridley is the latest bass player to strongly emerge on the London scene as a prominent composer and bandleader. Both his playing and compositions contain engaging rhythmic elements that draw on Middle Eastern & Indian influences, whilst being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. He also delivers his music message with sincere clarity; I look forward to hearing what he does next!" - Jim Hart, World-Renowned Vibraphonist

This story involves DS9, but I'll recount it (again), anyway. When my daughter was around 2, she was watching DS9 with me. For some reason, when there was a long closeup on Quark, she walked up to the TV and put her baby doll bottle on his mouth, as if offering him some milk.
This evening we watched "The Devil in the Dark" and she was with it from beginning to end! It's funny, she reacted to the Horta (or "rock monster") as if it was a scary monster that needed to be killed right up until they injured it with the phaser... then she felt bad for it, and said "They shouldn't hurt it, it's probably just mad about something." I was so proud! She never guessed that the silicon nodules were its eggs, though.
She asked a lot of questions about the Horta itself- "What's that? No, the red part! No, THE RED PART!"- and about the equipement- "What's that?" "It's his tricorder." "What's THAT?" "It's his little computer."
But her funniest reaction was during the scene where Kirk is facing down the Horta alone. Everytime Kirk would lower his phaser and the Horta would advance on him, she would throw up her hand and yell "STOP! Now, back up! Stay there!" and then he would lower the phaser and it would start all over again. I was in stitches.
She was really disappointed that we didn't get to see any little baby rock monsters at the end. C'mon, TOS-R team! You couldn't have thrown ONE in there somewhere?
She demanded to watch another episode after it was over. It may have just been a ploy to avoid going to bed... but it was a good one!
We watched "Miri" because I thought she would enjoy the kids. I was right, but her attention would wander every time Kirk and co. would hang out in the lab talking about the disease. But she did chant along with the kids through every single "Nyah-nyah" and "Bonk-bonk." That was fun. She also kept asking why they didn't just wash off the disease stuff.
I'm having a blast with this! If we have time tomorrow, I'm going to show her "What are little girls made of." I think she'll dig Ruk and Andrea.

Loving this concept sketchbook for tee designers. Why sketch your awesome ideas on plain paper when you could visualize them on t-shirt shaped paper?
Honestly, it's a little superfluous, but designers are well-known for loving specialty notebooks and creative looking stuffs. So yeah, I'd buy one.
Unfortunately, this is still concept-only, so you'll have to wait to get your hands on one (or great really creative with an Xacto and make your own)

His Finest Hour
In preparing his speech, Obama had called and talked to the families of those slain and to the survivors. He could tell their personal stories. Michelle Obama invited the family of the murdered nine-year-old to visit her in the White House. Obama came to the speech from the bedsides of those who had been wounded. Their message to him was one of dedication: "They believed, and I believe, that we can be better." This rang a bell with me. It reminded me of the lesson of the fallen that Lincoln took from Gettysburg—"that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion." At Gettysburg Lincoln might have been expected to defend the North and blame the South—which is what Edward Everett did in the speech preceding his. Rather, the bulk of Lincoln's speech was given to praising the dead and urging others to learn from them.

YO gagger, I get the feeling you see live trading activity, given your comment on RBC and Salman trading the 499k lot, & the subsequent orders coming in.
Can you see the orders at market (& by whom) or are they limits, then you see the fills?
If so, who do you use for that & what's the cost (if you don't mind sharing that info). I'd be interested in the service.
It's handy when one can watch the orders (market/limits) come in & get filled, & by what brokers.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 385 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bordensbored This hotel is Beautiful. Had the best stay. Steven's service upon check in was excellent! Can't wait to stay at the Westin again soon. November 20, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jone123456 Good views and food but not room This is my first stay as a gold member in SPG hotels. Views are good, food is good, people are good, but not the room. The facilities are old, air conditioner doesn't function in the first place, worst of all, me and my company felt quite itchy after we used the sheet, so we have some sanitary concerns. November 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sheri23 Almost perfect! Everything was great. The only negatives were the coffee and tea were not restocked on the second morning. Also I picked up the mini bar items and was billed for them. I did not realize they were pressure sensitive. My bill was adjusted. November 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by DanJ Great golf course views We enjoyed our room overlooking the 14th hole of the Pete Dye course, and the easy access to pools, restaurants, and the amazing views of Mt. San Jacinto. The morning sunrises and evening sunsets were spectacular! And the gentle desert breezes rustling through the tall palm trees created an atmosphere of total relaxation. Cannot wait to return for our next vacation. October 24, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 Disappointed My wife and I were looking forward to a nice getaway in the desert where we could just relax. We found this property and though it looked good as we are loyal to the Starwood brand of hotels. We had cashed in points for our stay, but on the way out to the hotel saw that the nightly price had dropped to a very resonable $119 per night. We figured it would be better for us to pay for the visit with cash and save the points for a future getaway. When we arrived at the front desk and asked if we could do so, we were told that the nightly room price was $200 per night PLUS a resort fee. That was the first sign something was wrong. We were put in a room that was very old, had unclean sheets, power outlets that half worked, an A/C unit that made enough constant noise to keep us up at night, a TV that occasionally got satellite reception, and a view of the parking lot. To make matters worse, we were woken up by the very loud sounds of lawn mowers right outside our window, which proceeded to last for about 5 hours, and included "popping" noises that sounds like gunshots. I would be aware of all of these items before booking your own stay at the hotel. I don't know how other rooms are but this was our experience with this one. October 19, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sumiteer Overpriced for what I recievedc I called desert car rentals which was 4 miles away and was charged 50.00 for 5 short phone calls. It would have been nice if someone told me this. I would have used my Canadian cell phone and not have been charged nearly that. Does the hotel really pay that much for local calls in California? My other peave was $6.00 for one cup of coffee. My wife and I should not have to pay $12.00 for coffee at breakfast at Pizimini. The adult pool was nice and quiet which was excellent. The grounds are kept very nice. The overall stay was very nice, but i would not return because of a 50.00 phone bill. October 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Esmith1 Everything you want, nothing you don't. Living in the heart of Hollywood, sometimes the hustle and bustle can get to be a bit much. It's for that reason that my lady and I decided to spend her birthday here at the Westin Mission Hills. Best decision we could've made. You wouldn't believe the level of quality for the price. The staff, the room and the accommodations were all on point. I checked in with Adriana who was incredibly helpful throughout our entire stay. Dealing with her, we felt genuinely welcome upon our arrival and were so well taken care of over our three day visit that she felt more like a friend than an employee when all was said and done. She even got other members of the staff involved in helping me organize a little birthday surprise for my lady. That woman deserves a promotion, though that isn't to say that any of the other employees were any less helpful and benign. Looking at my review writing history, I'm not shy when it comes to calling a business out if need be but I have no complaints this time around. Our room was beautiful, staff and guests alike were friendly and courteous, the grounds were kept clean, they're pet-friendly...... even the music playing at the pool was great. Night-swimming to 80s and 90s jams? Yes, please. This hotel has it all and at such reasonable rates. There's a gym, a spa, multiple pools, a great restaurant/bar, one of the top ranked golf courses in the U.S. and much more. We're already looking forward to returning early next year. Next time you're in need of some R&R, definitely consider the Westin Mission Hills golf resort and spa. You'll leave with the sense of bittersweetness just as we did. Glad you came and sad to leave. October 2, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by KDiaz1 Relaxing Oasis The hotel was very large and the rooms are comfortable. The views are spectacular. I recommend the breakfast buffet, it was delicious. There is not much to do outside of the resort, but the resort has plenty to offer. Housekeeping accidentally took a pair of my shorts, and though they have not been accounted for, the staff seemed to be pretty responsive. September 28, 2015

Police Commissioner Says Car Chase Was Handled Properly
17-Year-Old Driver is Arraigned in Death of Girl Hit by Car
New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly on Wednesday said police officers apparently acted properly when they pursued a fleeing driver who ended up jumping a sidewalk and killing a 4-year-old girl.
"At this juncture, at this time, I see the actions of the police officers as being reasonable," Mr. Kelly said.
Franklin Reyes, the 17-year-old driver accused in the death of Ariel Russo, was arraigned late Wednesday on a charge of manslaughter. He didn't enter a plea and was ordered held in jail without bail.
Mr. Reyes allegedly was driving his parents' sport-utility vehicle without permission and on a learner's permit. His attorney, Martin Schmukler, said Mr. Reyes was on his way to school and panicked when police initially pulled him over.
"He will forever live with the scar of what happened, knowing that he has no one to blame but himself," Mr. Schmukler said. "He doesn't blame the police officers for chasing him, even though they didn't have to chase him."
The attorney said, "They hadn't seen this driver do anything that was particularly reckless." Mr. Schmukler said his client's mother did not know he had driven the car to school that morning.
According to the police account, Mr. Reyes was earlier observed by officers making a turn across lanes of traffic on Columbus Avenue on the Upper West Side and was pulled over on West 89th Street. As the officers approached his vehicle on foot, he sped off, turning onto Amsterdam Avenue.
The officers began pursuing him until he attempted a left-hand turn at high speed onto West 97th Street, where he lost control and crashed into Ariel and her grandmother, Katia Gutierrez, 58. Ms. Gutierrez was in stable condition on Wednesday.
According to Mr. Kelly, the NYPD's policy on police-car pursuits, which calls on officers to abandon a chase if the risk to the public outweighs the risk of letting a suspect go, requires officers "to make some judgment calls as to whether or not it's wise to continue a pursuit."
Mr. Kelly said about 23 seconds elapsed between Mr. Reyes fleeing and the crash. Investigators believe he attempted the left turn that caused him to lose control at a speed of about 34 miles per hour.
Mr. Kelly said it wasn't yet known how fast he was traveling before the crash and how fast the officers in pursuit were traveling.
"It's a very compacted period of time," Mr. Kelly said of the brief chase. "I wouldn't call it a pursuit."

Vendors & Exhibitors
Helldorado Days 2015
Welcome prospective exhibitors and vendors to our great event for 2015. The rodeo will be held in the same location as last year; however, we have reconfigured our vendor midway in a manner that will funnel our patrons through the vendor area before they arrive at the rodeo arena. We wanted to be sure to give our vendors and exhibitors maximum exposure.
Please Note: There are a limited number of spaces available for both the food and general merchandise area. Please be aware that submitting an application does not guarantee you a placement at Helldorado Days. If we receive two or more vendors of the same type offering the same food or merchandise, we generally apply a "first come, first served" basis as our acceptance.
After a vendor is accepted, they will receive a welcome letter with additional information and maps. (Vendors will be notified either way.)

Fourteen-year-old Cole Hartley wanted to know what the government should do about the nation's debt.
His classmate, Tanner Bedwell, was curious where cuts to the government's spending should come from.
They were just two of the rather weighty questions posed Friday to U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Peoria, by fifth- through eighth-grade students at Princeville Elementary School.
"Really, I wanted to know if he ever plans to run for president, but since that already got asked, I wanted to know about the debt; our history teacher tells us a lot about it, and I was just wondering," Hartley said. "He kind of went around (the question at first) but came back to it."
Answering Hartley's question, Schock told the crowd of about 250 students that Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare make up about three-quarters of the country's spending and that "if we don't do something with these systems, they are going to run out of money," adding individuals wouldn't see any of the promised benefits.
Schock said changes should be made to the programs that affect younger people "to make those programs solvent."
But the congressman said defense spending, as well as cuts to all spending, should be considered.
"I think everything needs to be on the table - nothing should be sacred," he said, adding that indecision, in part, is what got the country where it is.
Schock answered questions for more than an hour, touching on trade agreements, Osama bin Laden, gas prices, whether he always has to wear a suit and whether he plans to run for president.
"I don't like to say never about anything, so I won't say never," Schock said to a host of student groans.
"But I'm not going to run for president from Congress, so I'd have to do some other things before that," Schock said.
He also talked about his ascension from Peoria District 150 School Board member to the Illinois Legislature to his current position, encouraging the students to work hard.
"Don't listen to people who say you can't do something," Schock said, adding had he listened to those comments he would not be where he is today.

Twelve months into the role of Strategic Director for People services (Adults, Children, Young people, Families and Education), Wendy would say she is still trying to find the best way to extract additional value from the structure for the people we serve. Balancing investment in early help or intervention against the demands of delivering a robust quality service to protect children can seem to be more of an art than a science, so in Warwickshire an Early Intervention unit serving all ages signals commitment to actively embracing an evidence based response .

The Sims was one of the earliest mainstream video games to include actionable same-sex relationships when it launched in 2000. Rather than being a concerted effort on the part of developer EA Maxis, the equal-opportunity Woohoo (a euphemism for sex in the game) was implemented by engineer Patrick J. Barrett III – an openly gay man who had a reputation for getting the programming done.
"He just did it," said David "Rez" Graham, The Sims 4 lead AI programmer and a panelist at EA's GaymerX panel on creating more LGBT-inclusive experiences this past weekend. "He just went in there and it was a thing one day" and "nobody really questioned it, which was cool."
After the panel, Graham said part of the reason Maxis was able to "sneak" in that optional feature was due to the nature of The Sims as a game. It aims to playfully simulate the behavior of human beings, and homosexuality is an acknowledged part of the human experience.
"I think it was just that homosexuality isn't new, it's something that exists in our world and we're trying to simulate people in our world. And so I think that what they wanted to do, and this is going to sound terrible, but what they wanted to do was protect the people who are basically bigoted against that kind of thing, because they want sales from everybody. So, to make it an optional thing that's essentially disabled unless you seek it out as the player, that I think gave EA the sort of permission to say that's fine. People wouldn't even find it unless they looked for it."
Graham went on to say that Barrett "had more permission because it was seen as a kind of casual type game, so it would've been harder to have that happen in a huge AAA game." EA didn't have high hopes for the game either. "They didn't think The Sims was going to do well at all; they thought it was a terrible idea. So that was also a part of it: They thought, 'Who's even going to play this game?' And all that stuff kind of allowed it to sneak in."
Graham is currently working on The Sims 4, but his last project was The Sims Medieval – both continue the series' legacy of offering homosexual coupling. "It boiled down to exactly one meeting, which was: How do we want to support this? There was never a question of do we support this, it was a question of how do we want to support this."
Though there is a vocal backlash against LGBT characters being represented in games, it's a choice representatives of EA don't regret making. It is also Graham's hope that wider acceptance will lower the difficulty of the discussion overall, reducing its status as "a thing." If that happens, it will be due in part to the efforts of Patrick J. Barrett III.

9. What time does the park close?
The park does not have an official closing time. However, all beach fires must be out by midnight and there is no overnight parking without a backcountry permit. Sleeping in parked vehicles is strictly prohibited within park boundaries.
10. Can I have a fire in the park?
11. I only have so much time, what should I see/do?
12. Where is a good place to eat/sleep nearby?

13. Where are good areas for birdwatching?

Please note: employee housing as well as park administrative, maintenance, operations, and storage facilities, including, but not limited, to access roads, outbuildings, grounds, and docks, are closed to public use.
14. Can I fish at Point Reyes?
For more information, visit our Fishing at Point Reyes page.
15. My fiance and I wish to get married at Point Reyes. Do we need to get any permits?
Special use permits are required for all weddings and any other event or activity that would involve more than 100 people. For more information or to obtain a permit, contact the park's Special Use Coordinator at 415-464-5111.
16. Can I use a metal detector at Point Reyes?
Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 2.1 (a) (7) prohibits the use or possession of metal detectors, magnetometers, and similar equipment within the jurisdiction of national park lands. However, such devices may be transported through park areas provided they are broken down, dismantled, and cased in such a way that prevents their ready use.
The hobby of metal detecting is generally considered to be "treasure hunting". Even if the user is searching for items of relatively low value, such as recently issued coins or the like, there is great potential loss of items with significant historical or cultural value. The National Park Service is mandated to protect historic features and artifacts for the enjoyment of future generations. Therefore, the use of metal detectors within park areas is considered to be incompatible with the mission of the Service.
17. What time does the movie/slide show start? (at Bear Valley Visitor Center)
Audio-visual programs are shown upon request anytime the Bear Valley Visitor Center is open. We have six different audio-visual presentations:
17. "I hit an animal while driving. What should I do?" or "I found a roadkilled animal. What should I do?"
Please contact park dispatch at 415-464-5170 if you hit an animal while driving within the National Seashore and there is significant damage to your vehicle, or if you see a recently roadkilled animal that is creating a road hazard on a park roadway. You can also help increase researchers' understanding of the extent of roadkill and help develop innovative ideas for reducing roadkill by reporting the roadkill to the California Roadkill Observation System.
