Valetta, the capital of Malta, occupies a heavily fortified peninsula that has two deep harbours running down each side of it. To the east is Grand Harbour, now home to an upmarket marina (we were quoted EU70 a night plus power and water for August), and the extensive dockyards still operating. To the east is Marsamxett, itself divided by Manoel Island, which is attached to the mainland by a small bridge crossing the tiny strait. All around this harbour are bouys, quays and marinas. To the eastern side, under Valetta, is the fuel dock, where we filled up with the cheapest fuel we've seen since Mellila, at EU1.03 a litre. On the western side, on the edge of the suburb of Gzira, and facing the next town of Sliema, is the well-known Yacht Yard, primarily a haul-out yard, where we booked in for the winter.
The Yard was privatised in July, and you can see that there has been little investment for a long time. Work is just beginning under the new ownership, particularly with a major clean-up of the apparent years of stuff that's hanging around. There are about 14 staff now, but there used to be 175 people working here we were told.
They have a few spots for boats afloat, pre-hauling out, but very few ways to contact them as you arrive. We took a buoy and rang them, which worked. Then we ended up tied off to a buoy, with a web of ropes around us to the pontoons, to cope with near-gales. This winter, they are charging (for Roaring Girl) EU30 a night afloat (exc services) and EU60 a week ashore (inc services). There were no problems staying on the boat on the hard. They insist on doing all work under the water, and are not particularly cheap. For all other work there seems to be no problem with doing it yourself or bringing in other labout. Other contractors, however, must be approved by the Yard first.
The facilities ashore are ok, though the yard is very dusty. The loos and showers are clean and serviceable and the security is excellent. There are still many workshops, and it is possible to get wood cut to shape, or welding done on the site. Besides the hoist shown here, there are five big slipways. Joanne in the office is very helpful, and many buses run right past the bridge into Valetta or towards Sliema. The lift was competently done, though it's always scary seeing our home dangling around.
We spent five hard-working days sorting out our girl. All the sails have been taken off, for a long over-due valeting. Almost all the running rigging is down and we have scrubbed and cleaned all over. Our insurance company (GJW, who have been good to us over the years) insisted on a new survey, thanks to the boat's age, which was done by the lovely John Ross of Malta Yacht Surveys. All in all, we got a lot done.
It is early in the season to have hauled out, but for various family reasons, we decided to get back to the UK two or three weeks earlier than otherwise. It also means we can have good scout at the Southampton Boat Show. We need some new instruments, and want to get in ahead of the UK VAT hike, so that's going to be interesting.

Months ago we arranged to meet various friends in Valetta over the UK August Bank Holiday, to celebrate Sarah's birthday. Due to various misfortunes and competing arrangements only the lovely Jenny and Liz could make it. They stayed at the Hotel Fortina, with a spectacular view across Marsamxett harbour towards Valetta itself.
The hotel has numerous facilities - restaurants, spa, pools, air-conditioning and showers . They were both exhausted from various emotional maulings over the last year and a half, while we were both hot and in need of chilling. It also became really windy that week, so in the end the four of us spent most of the five days lying around the hotel pools and drinking pretty cocktails. And lovely it was! We're not sure exactly what Jenny's doing in the photo, though: she's not usually a palmreader!
We'll sightsee properly when we are here in the spring. It'll be much more comfortable then.
|Places and people
The swell was less here, but still present, so on Sunday we headed south towards Marsascala, portrayed in the pilot book as an attractive inlet anchorage. In fact it is tiny and shallow and we could find no acceptable space for us. We moved next door to Bay St Thomas, and kicked back.
This Qala is fairly open but we found good holding. Over four days we've barely seen another yacht, and ashore we've had some nice drinks and food. Mostly, we've begun sorting Roaring Girl out for the winter, and discussed our plans for future adventures. Actually, that's not completely correct: it's so hot that we lie around panting and occasionally flopping in and out of the sea!
Tomorrow, we will head for Valetta and our final destination. Friends are coming out to see us, staying ashore, over the weekend, and then we will haul Roaring Girl onto dry standing.
Ironically, we've spent six nights in Malta and so far less than 3 hours ashore!
|Life afloat (containing pilotage notes)
We had a gentle sail north from St Marku to this extraordinary cliff-ringed cove on the north western tip of Gozo. Gozo is the second island in the archipelago and its northwestern end is characterised by cliffs rising as much as 300 feet above the sea and cut by caves of geometric precision. The north and south corners of this outcrop are angular, so that you literally turn a corner. Of course, the wind often turns with you, and we spent a lot of time close-hauled.
The Bay of Dwejra is a semi-circular cove, reminiscent of Lulworth Cove in Dorset. The water is dark, reflecting the walls around it, and silky, but only about 12m deep. The bottom is rock and sand, so really make sure the anchor is set.
The entrance to the cove is almost entirely closed by the huge and dramatic Fungus Rock. (The picture is Fungus Rock looking west from inside the cove; attempts to show the dramatic cliff walls don't work with our small camera, but have a good look on Google earth using the lat and long link from this post.) There is a narrow entrance on the north side; it is wide enough for a yacht but from the outside it doesn't look it. We took the wider entrance on the south side. The best shelter from the prevailing north-westerlies is as close under Fungus Rock as you can get.
Incidentally, it's called Fungus Rock after a lichen that grew here, highly prized by the Knights of St John (who ran Malta for over 200 years) for its supposed medicinal qualities. This Rock was tightly guarded with fearsome penalties for anyone caught trying to climb it.
We spent one night here, with the slap of swell on the rock and the cries of cliff birds for company, and just three other yachts. Unfortunately, said swell really made it uncomfortable and about midday the next day we left. Turning the corner at the south-western edge of Gozo we had a splendid, fast sail along the coast, sailing full-and-by and jibing about every 45 minutes. We investigated the tiny inlet at Mgarrix-Xini, but found that these days all the space relies on taking a line to rings on the rock and that it was packed. (By now, of course, it was Saturday.) We had intended to then sail down the western side of Malta, but the swell made it very unpleasant, and we would either have had to jibe a long way off and then in again, or jibe many times around headlands and rocks of a lee shore.
Instead we sailed through the narrow channel between Comino Island and Malta. This has its moments: the winds alter direction erratically, bouncing off headlands and heights, the ferries charge to and fro, there's a large fish-farm in the channel and innumerable tripper boats crowd the southern end.
We anchored in Mellilha Bay, near the head. Surprisingly the charts all showed us as in shallow water, about 5m, but we actually found about 12m, over quite a large area.
|Life afloat (containing pilotage notes)
From St Julian's Bay we went five miles up the coast of Malta to Qala St Marku. By dusk we had this little bay all to ourselves, despite hectic water traffic between other anchorages all around us. The main disadvantage of this spot is that it has the busy coast road running right around it making for a lot of traffic noise, although there is are no houses, clubs or shops at all.
|Life afloat (containing pilotage notes)
By Thursday we were hot and had seen enough so we decided to get ahead of some predicted unhelpful winds and head to Malta. In fact we got no wind at all and motored nearly the whole d-n way, covering the 82 miles in about 19 hours.
It's a very simple journey, though there are huge numbers of large ships travelling very fast along the south coast of Sicily, far enough off not to have troubled our previous trip, but certainly making the passage south more interesting. It was a very bright night, and we have radar, but it kept us on our toes.
Entry formalities into Malta are enormously annoying in their mystery. Everything we read - pilots, almanacs, marina and government websites, cruiser websites - emphasised the importance of arriving off Valetta during office hours (or risking overtime charges), of radioing in on entering Maltese waters at 12nm off, and then again when 1nm off. (This is why we were in busy shipping areas in the dark!) This is emphasised even today when Malta is in the EU and a signatory to the Schengen treaty; this means we should be able to just turn up and anchor with no formalities at all.
So at 12nM, at 0800, we start calling on 12 and 16 and get absolutely no response. We hoist our Q flag and check the radio is working. At 1nM we finally get a response and say we'd like to go straight to anchor at St Julien's Bay. We confirm we haven't come direct from Tunisia. No problem, we're told. Anchored in the unpleasant little bay under the Hilton, we call the yard where we will be hauling Roaring Girl out for the winter. Do we need to do anything else to clear in? No, is the answer.
So for EU yachts, with only EU nationals aboard, coming from a Schengen country - it seems you can choose your timing a bit better, and go straight to a nice anchorage. We wish that all the various sources would now update their websites; after we have confirmed this situation in Valetta we will be strongly encouraging them to do so.
|Life afloat (containing pilotage notes)
The anchorage and quay here holds lot of attractions (not least the price). Our pilot book shows the dinghy landing west of the Customs quay but that's now a building site. Like other boats, we dinghied into the small inlet that separates the island of Oritiga from the mainland. If you go under the first bridge, immediately to port there is a corner of the dock and flight of steps, where no-one seems to mind you tying up. There's enough room and chain to lock your dinghy securely.
If you climb up the steps and turn right across the next bridge you are on the island. About 100m ahead is the temple of Apollo, and the daily market is to the left of it.
If you turn left, you are on the main road Corso Umberto. About 50m on your left is the excellent laundrette run by the American Maria and her Sicilian husband Davide. A great source of information and also very good value for your washing.
We found one very expensive chandlery on Oritiga itself and various hardware stores and chandleries around the mainland side of Porto Piccolo. As we didn't actually need anything (!) we didn't do an exhaustive survey.
There is a tourist information centre on Oritiga but the one on the archaeological park is better. It's worth investigating as Siracuse has a great programme of free events, particularly music, at various atmospheric venues.
Much of the city is small enough to walk (if very hot), but there is also a go-bike hire service and a good bus system. We found it difficult to actually buy tickets for the bus, either in tabbachi or on the bus itself, but no-one seemed to care.
The biggest drawback to the main anchorage is that the water is off-puttingly brown. We moved over to just beneath the fort to swim, but the Coast Guard seems to discourage overnight anchoring there, so you have to move back again.
|Life afloat (containing pilotage notes)
Siracuse is home to an enormous collection of material from the Neolithic onwards. There are rooms of material and its not at all easy to absorb it all. There are no chubby goddesses to gawp at either.
There is this exquisite Aphrodite. She has been controversial for her sensuality and realism, but we thought her beautiful.
|Places and people
To the west of Siracuse, on the mainland, is the area where the Greeks and Romans established their entertainment complex and ritual centres - temples and theatres. The centrepiece is this massive Greek amphitheatre. Much pillaged by the Romans and then the Spanish, at its height it seated 15,000 on massive tiers of stone carved from the hill, and shaded by awnings. Aeschylus' Etnan Women premiered here. It was the centre of civic life for political events as well.
Also in the park are the quarries, where the stone was dug. This includes two enormous caves, created by the work. One has beautiful acoustics and was christened the Ear of Dionysus (after an important Tyrant, not the bibulous god), by Caraveggio. The other, sadly not open to the public, is the even bigger Ropemakers Cave, favoured for the work as the damp air prevented the rope drying and splitting as it was made.
The Tyrant Heiron II built an enormous temple here for sacrifices to Zeus; there are stories of 450 bulls being killed at one annual festival, but not much now remains above the foundations. Alongside is the Roman amphitheatre. This is smaller, but in its heyday was impressively high. The stage seems quite small compared to the Colisseum, but was obviously big enough for gladiatorial fights and the 'circus' of animal contest. The big tank in the middle is far too small for nautical events, and was probably a drain for the blood.
|Places and people
A popular spot in the old city is the Fonte Aretusa. This a pretty fresh-water spring, beloved of papyrus plants and ducks, just a few feet from the sea. It has been here since ancient times, and there are many myths about it and the nymph Arethusa after which it is named
|Places and people
The main Duomo of Siracuse is built on the heights of Ortigia, a site that was already sacred when the Greeks arrived and started a 5th century BC temple to Athena. This building had world-famous decorations, and huge gilded statue of the goddess on the roof, which caught the sun's rays and acted as a beacon for sailors.
The current cathedral, rebuilt after the earthquake, still uses the Doric columns as its skeleton. They are literally in the walls. The internal shape is thus very much that classically proportioned, simple rectangle, and is also spare and dusky. Some Norman columns also still stand, adding a further angularity to the lines. Off to the south side, a number of small chapels have been added, and these are decorated in full Baroque extravagance, with cherubs and friezes and leaves and scrolls and angels and apostles and everything else that could be crammed into the space. You wander from the dim sobriety of the temple to these fantasias and back again as if in a bipolar religious mania.
The façade is Baroque, but as with most of the period's external decoration in Siracuse, it is restrained and formal. The piazza in front of it is beautiful, and pedestrianised so very pleasant. We saw three Guardia pushing an electric cart with a flat battery, which made everybody in the café laugh.
|Places and people
Every summer we have ended up somewhere exciting for the local ritual of blessing the waters. It often coincides with the Assumption, for example in Nice. But sometimes it's different, as in Northern Spain where St James is invoked. We'd just got the anchor down when it all started. The huge statue is on the back of a commercial tug boat, which came off the quay and did a slow round of the harbour. Around it (and us) was a huge melee of craft -fishing boats, small sports boats, RIBs, three coast guards. No yachts actually followed sadly, but we hooted our foghorns and joined in gleefully. Blessings are always welcome!

Don't think so, because you need a device that connects PS3's USB-A to PC's USB-A and all USB A-A cables available use mostly Prolific chips that connect two PC via a simulated RS232 or Network port. Those chips for sure won't be able to do all necessary stuff (changing vendor/device ID on the fly etc.).
Maybe a PSP (with low level access driver to usb chipset) or a homebrew capable digicam could do the job - unless you have enough memory to keep the data to be dumped to PS3.
So we'll see what info will show up.

SANDY SPRING, Md. (WUSA9) -- Montgomery County's former Inspector General has broken years of silence saying in a new letter that law enforcement authorities "shut down" investigations into wrongdoing alleged in the approval of a 2002 Sandy Spring development.
CLICK HERE: www.SaveSandySpring.org
Accusations include complaints that misleading documents were intentionally submitted to secure a development approval that wiped out property values in an historic African American enclave, a 2007 affidavit shows. The affidavit also alleges that public officials knew documents were misleading but did nothing about it.
The so-called Farm Road controversy has pitted an historic enclave of African-American property owners against the powerful Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission since 2007. The landowners claim their property values were destroyed when M-NCPPC approved a plan that erased the historic road from official maps, leaving their parcels landlocked with no legal access or addresses.
Former Montgomery County Inspector General Thomas J. Dagley has sent a new letter to the founder of SaveSandySpring.org saying that there were"concerns about wrongdoing brought to my attention." Dagley calls the information "credible." He goes on to claim that when the information was brought to "prosecutors or law enforcement" official investigations were "shut down" due to "partisan or other reasons not related to the credibility of the material." He adds "an investigator resigned in protest".
Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler, whose deputy reviewed allegations in 2007, has not responded to an interview request from WUSA9.
A 2007 affidavit that was dismissed from an unsuccessful lawsuit outlines a number of accusations regarding the Farm Road case and others in the area. The author of that sworn statement is Adrienne Gude, a former Montgomery County Council Legislative Aide who worked on the issue on behalf of property owners.
Gude's sworn 2007 affidavit alleges that the historic Farm Road was wiped out with the help of intentionally misleading documents with the knowledge of public officials who let it happen anyway.
Many of Gude's claims are about the powerful Maryland National Capital M-NCPPC Commission, which approves and oversees development in Montgomery and Prince George's County.
She claims "false and misleading plans" were submitted to M-NCPPC and she claims "personal knowledge of M-NCPPC's refusal to take corrective action once notified."
In an interview with WUSA9 Gude said: "I believe that engineers and surveyors submitted... and developers... submitted intentionally false documents to M-NCPPC so that they could proceed with their development."
Gude said she believed M-NCPPC officials were aware that the documents were intentionally misleading "Because if they had checked their records they would have seen there were already properties and a road there. Which is their job. That's what they're supposed to do.
"When we brought it to their attention that there was a road there and that there were properties that were landlocked they said there was no road there," Gude recalled in the WUSA9 interview.
If her accusations are true, a map prepared for landlocked property owner William Rounds shows that developers platted three building lots on top of the Farm Road right-of-way. M-NCPPC gained control of a conservation easement in the area.
Nobody told the African american landowners when it happened and no one paid them for the valuable right-of-way they believe they lost. Now M-NCPPC won't even give them addresses for their land or permits to build, rendering the land nearly worthless.
Citizens including Gude complain that when they tried to video record M-NCPPC's own map that appeared to show the road and exed out addresses to their parcels, officials refused.
Steve Kanstoroom, the founder of SaveSandySpring.org and an advocate working on behalf of the property owners claims that officials have refused to provide a full-scale copy of the map despite a formal request under Maryland's Public Information Act.
The M-NCPPC and the engineer firm targeted by Gude's accusations have not responded to WUSA9 requests for interviews.

I normally have a thing for brunettes. Ian Somerhalder…Darren Criss…Brody Jenner (I'm sorry; I can't help it)…but once in a while, a guy like Austin Butler shows up and I'm like, Woah. OK, yes, blondes. After you see him in The Carrie Diaries, which airs on The CW this Monday at 8 p.m., we'll be gushing over him together. He plays the super mysterious new guy at school, Sebastian, who develops a quick flirtationship with the young Carrie Bradshaw, played by AnnaSophia Robb. My favorite part: They share an epic, epic kiss in the first episode, and it involves a pool. Hot.
Our lifestyle editor and one of my bestest work pals, Kaitlin Menza, got to interview Austin for our February issue, and she asked him what makes a great first kiss: "Passion!" he told her. "Also, tickling the other person's arm at the same time feels good, but too much can be annoying." A favorite move of his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, perhaps?
These two talk about tons more in the magazine, so head there next! Also, be sure to check out our What You Don't Know About Austin Butler video!
And P.S.: In case you were wondering, Justin Timberlake, you almost had me crushing on you this week with your super hot countdown video yesterday. Tell us what your big announcement is, and then we'll talk!
What do you think of Austin Butler? Will you watch The Carrie Diaries? Tell me in the comments!

In 2000, husband and wife team Curran and Jeff Dandurand and their friend, Emily Dalton, set out to change the way men take care of their skin. Knowing that few companies were devoted exclusively to producing natural, healthy skin and hair care products for male lifestyles, the trio went to work to develop a line of nourishing, healing products without feminine scents. The result was the Jack Black brand, named, not for the comic actor, but with an ordinary sounding moniker meant to evoke images of a trusted male friend. Now, you can enjoy the products made by this revolutionary name in men's skin and hair care through the Jack Black Men Sets and Kits collection.

Treat yourself or a special man in your life to the Jack Black Men Sets and Kits collection.

The Jack Black The Core Collection contains some of the most popular products made by the leader in men's-only skin care. The kit comes with the Pure Clean Daily Facial Cleanser to remove dirt and oil as well as the Beard Lube Conditioning Shave, which prepares the skin for a close shave and serves as a shaving lubricant. The Double Duty Face Moisturizer completes the kit to soothe irritation and eliminate dryness.

- Detailed intelligence
- Strength in emerging markets
- Discreet and ethical
- Fast turnaround
- Powered by World-Check Risk Intelligence
Background and integrity checks are a crucial feature of today's fast paced, globalized business environment. In many cases, thorough and sophisticated due diligence checks have protected an organization from reputational and financial ruin.
Thomson Reuters Enhanced Due Diligence analysts are trained in proven due diligence techniques of gathering the right intelligent information from open sources, subscription-based services and public records and documents. We adhere to strict research guidelines and, as a New York listed company, our procedures are subject to legislation such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA).
We have teams based in research centers across the globe and employ native speakers of all key languages.
Known for the quality of our intelligence, our reports help people understand who they are really doing business with.
Our reports are often used:
- For supply chain screening
- Before a merger, acquisition or joint venture
- When on-boarding high net worth or high profile clients
- For Immigrant Investor or Economic Residency programs
- When automated risk screening reveals risk
- Where geopolitical risk analysis flags a transaction or individual as linked to a high risk country
- As a key component of a comprehensive compliance program
- To enhance an existing compliance process, where resources are stretched
Why use Thomson Reuters Enhanced Due Diligence Reports?
We are experts at compiling detailed background checks and we know where to look for information that may be hard to find. Our research is subject to strict service levels and stringent quality control.
Key public domain information
Our reports are compiled from numerous public sources:
- Local and international government records
- In-country sources
- International derogatory electronic and physical media searches
- English and foreign-language repositories
- Sector specific sources
- Difficult to-access public domain information in emerging markets
- Global compliance databases
- Information from our extensive World-Check database
Research analysts are tasked with ensuring that the intelligence held on an individual or entity is accurate, up to date and not kept for longer than necessary.
Cost effective due diligence
Despite the depth of investigation and comprehensive nature of Thomson Reuters Enhanced Due Diligence Reports, our approach is cost effective and transparent. We do not outsource preparation of our reports to subcontractors so there are no related expenses to inflate the price.
Clearly structured report style
Our reports are tabular in layout and begin with a risk table which summarizes important information for quick comprehension. Intelligence is presented in a structured and logical format so that it is easy to navigate and digest. We clearly identify - and provide links for- our information sources, to enable the reader to follow the chain of information if they so wish. Some reports also include an executive summary and a business intelligence section.
Rapid turnaround times
Our sophisticated workflow and global infrastructure ensure that Thomson Reuters Enhanced Due Diligence Reports are generated in the shortest possible time without sacrificing quality. Turnaround times are clear, predictable, consistent and fast: available within 10 working days and in some cases in as little as 24 hours.
Global coverage, local knowledge
Our research analysts are strategically located around the world and speak over 60 local languages. Most information contained in our reports is sourced from primary data sources in the relevant country and in the prevailing local language. Native speaking analysts pick up on the subtleties in the text in a way that multilingual speakers do not.
In-house skills only
Due diligence reporting and risk intelligence gathering is all prepared in-house, using our own research analysts. This ensures that we can produce consistent, high-quality output quickly, whilst controlling costs and without the risk of leaking proprietary information.
Discreet and ethical
We use only ethical and non-intrusive research methods and are committed to the principles of integrity and accountability. Subjects are not made aware of a due diligence reporting investigation and we do not misrepresent our activities when undertaking research assignments.
Strength in emerging markets
We were among the first to offer due diligence reports in emerging and frontier markets and over the years we have built expertise in this area.
Specialist reporting
We offer a number of specialized reports to suit client needs:
- Director's Declaration Verification Report
- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Report
- UK Bribery Act Report
- Economic Citizenship Report
- Iran Economic Interest Report
- Source of Wealth Report
- Ultimate Beneficial Ownership Report
- Alert Report
- Risk Intelligence Report

* Halloween Crafts for Kids: Yarn Pom-Pom Pumpkins, Owls, and Monsters, Oh My!
The girls and I recently got hooked on making
yarn pom-poms with a fork!
Yes, I remember them from Martha Stewart but when
I saw a mini tutorial over at the Whimsy Love Blog
its been a non-stop pom-pom making whirlwind ever since!
It started with a bunch of different pom-poms for our ice cream sensory box
(that I keep forgetting to post!)
On Friday, "C" asked if we could use some of our orange yarn
to make pumpkins with googly eyes.
The fun part, was that she had the whole craft planned out in her head!
Then she wanted to make an owl with brown yarn.
She picked out felt for the beak and wings.
I love the owl, I think he looks like an Angry Birds character!
Maybe we'll make an Angry Birds pom-pom set next. : )
She used Elmer's glue dots to stick the
googly eyes and mouths to the yarn pom-poms.
The pipe cleaner stems are just stuck into the pom-pom without any glue.
Sticking on googly eyes.
Carefully cutting out felt details.
She also made a green yarn pom-pom monster,
he's hanging out in our miniature Haunted House
right now! I didn't get a photo of him.
Happy Fall Crafting!
For another fun fall game and craft check out my

The comments below that link make me sick
The governor of Idaho is considering whether to declare a "wolf disaster," as lawyers in federal courts wrangle over the future of the state's wolves.
The Idaho legislature approved a bill last week that would give Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter the power to declare a state of emergency because of the rising wolf population.
Otter has said he supports the bill, but his staff is reviewing legal issues before he signs it and invokes the power it gives him to enlist local law enforcement to cull the state's wolf packs.....

Go Butch!!!!!
The comments below that link make me sick
Whats Sick about this?
Thanks, I didnt read that fare.
While considering moving to Idaho, the wolf issue is something that I do consider a problem. If common sense had been used then things would be fine, but at 2,000 wolves there is obviously a lack of common sense surrounding the issue. The herds need to be decimated, and reduced to under 500 before true "management" can take place IMO.
You realize that story ran last spring before the wolf hunting season was open and the state was put back in control.

CAPITOL HILL, DC (WUSA9) -- Women US senators have something the men seem to lack -- a relationship.
Time Magazine says women are the only adults left in the Senate.
When it came to re-opening the government and raising the debt ceiling, it was women who led the charge toward compromise.
In the maelstrom of modern Washington politics, Barbara Mikulski's no slouch. "Furlough means layoff!" she shouted in the midst of the shutdown to an adoring crowd of federal workers.
But the longest-serving woman Senator has long protected her fellow women. "There are more women (in the Senate now) than had served in all of American history when I arrived," she told CNN a year ago. She's been running a power dinner for years for women Senators -- Republican and Democrat. "Usually it's every man for himself, I'm going to be every woman, each one teach one."
It was at one of those dinners that women Senators developed the kernel of the deal that ended the shutdown.
"We sparked a dialogue that did not exist before we put out a plan," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).
Nearly every newly elected member of the Senate Sisterhood can remember some sexist shenanigans. Pushed out of a Senators Only elevator. Mistaken for wives. Ordered off the floor. But maybe that's brought them together.
"They've built up personal relationships that really harken back to a different time in the Senate," says Georgetown University professor Michele Swers, who just finished a book called Women in the Club.
Where the Old Boys' Club has turned nasty, the women skew moderate.
"My wife keeps saying, put women in charge, they'll solve everything," I told Swers. But she says we shouldn't expect gender miracles. "If Sarah Palin or Michele Bachman were in the Senate, they are people who tend to prefer to stand on principal."
And even women are divided over a long term budget deal.
There are now 20 women in the Senate, an historic high, but still no where near their share of the American population.

Have you heard about the "300 Sandwiches Lady" yet?
The short version: New York Post Page Six senior writer Stephanie Smith revealed in an essay on Wednesday that she's the author of 300sandwiches.com, a blog about a woman whose relationship with her boyfriend apparently hinges on her making him a sandwich every day. When she reaches 300, she'll get an engagement ring. (Isn't that charming?)
Smith details how that came to pass:
Each morning, he would ask, "Honey, how long you have been awake?"
"About 15 minutes," I'd reply.
One lazy summer afternoon just over a year ago, I finally gave in. ...
As he finished that last bite, he made an unexpected declaration of how much he loved me and that sandwich: "Honey, you're 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring!" ...
And blog she has since June 2012, chronicling her bready journey to true love with recipes and beautiful food photography that's "attracted attention from culinary world icons such as Emeril Lagasse, Michael White and Ken Friedman," according to the New York Post. (Can a coffee-table sandwich cookbook be far behind?)

It was ok.
Hubby loved this, which I thought was interesting, since I thought it was only passable. The "Deluxe" mac & cheese gives it a very Velveeta like flavor, which I am not a fan of. I may try it with the regular mac & cheese and just use two boxes and add some milk to reconstitute the cheese packet.

Reviews for Bratwurst Supper
"Family favorite. I triple the recipe for large gatherings and cook in my Nesco. Never any leftovers."
"Thanks so much for all the great reiews! I always have these ingrediants on hand for when company comes. So easy and it's great having company help make it."
"This is still my husbands favorite dinner - two years since my first review. He requests it so often that I now alternate the soup mix and soy sauce with montreal steak spice to keep things interesting. And I always pre-fry the brats in a pan now, just to crisp the outside not cooked all the way through, it adds so much more flavor!"
"I've made this many times since I came across the recipe several years ago. It is by far one of our families favorite meals. Very delicious!"
"Made this while camping this past summer and the whole family loved it. And so, so easy for camping."

I am unable to login if I use automatic configuration in Lync. I have already setup the domain records for my custom domain. I was able to get it working when I use sipdir.online.lync.com:443 for the internal and external servers in the manual configuration. Is there a way to get automatic configuration to work?
Thanks for the feedback.
Hello ASHAH,
Is there any error message when you login to lync client with automatic configuration? When did you add the dns records for your domain?
Typically, it may take about 15 minutes and up to 72 hours for changes to take effect and propagate through the DNS system. To troubleshoot the problem, please run the "troubleshoot domain" wizard on the Domain properties page and post the result. So, we can understand the situation in more details.
For more information, please refer to:
Thank you.
Jack Sun
I've the exact same problem. I've configured the DNS records for our domain according to this article (support.microsoft.com/.../2566790). Did this for more than a week ago. With automatic configuration I'm not able to sign-in. When I try to sign-in, after a while I get an error message: "Sign in to Microsoft Lync failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the Internet. If I manual configure the client to use: sipdir.online.lync.com:443 it works perfectly.
I'm using Microsoft Lync for Mac Version 14.0.1 (111018) on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.3)
I added the records more than 4 days ago. Outlook automatic configuration is working fine. I get the same error message as Hasse above.
Hello Ashah and Hans,
Can these dns records (SRV, CNAME) be queried with nslookup command from internet? To narrow down this problem, I suggest you to determine if these dns records exist with nslookup command referring to steps in article KB2515404.
If the issue persists and all these dns records can be queried with nslookup command, to help to troubleshoot this problem, please send me the name of your domain. So, I can check the status of the domain from our side. I have sent you a private message. You can send me the doamin name by replying that private message.
Thanks! I've sent our domain name to you in a private message!
I have received the domains you sent me, and noticed that the CNME dns records for Lync Online for both domains can be queried with nslookup command, but SRV records.
For this situation, I would like to provide you with two suggestions for your reference.
Suggestion 1
If you want to find the root cause of this problem, please make sure all these SRV, CNAME dns records for Lync Online have been added on DNS server, and can be queried from internet first. And then try again.
Suggestion 2
If you just want to access Lync Online service with Lync client 2011 from MAC client computer, I would suggest you configure the lync client manually refer to article Set up Lync for Mac 2011 for Office 365.
If you still have some concern about this, I would suggest you submitting a feedback at <http://g.microsoftonline.com/0BX11EN/135>, your feedback will be carefully handled and appreciated.
Additional Information
Automatic sign-in, domain federation, and other features do not work as expected in Lync Online when you use a custom domain in Office 365
Hi Jack!
I don't completely understand you. Were you able to query both CNAME and SRV DNS records for our domain or just the CNAME records?
Hello ASHAH and Hasse,
I wanted to provide an update to both of you. Jack has provided the below link above already, but I want to restress the concern. At this time, to obtain a successful configuration and sign-in with Lync for Mac you will need to use a manual configuration as indicated on the Set up Lync for Mac 2011 website.
I do not have a timeframe on when you will be able to use an automatic configuration option for the Mac client.

Hi Albert,
Thanks for you answer! I´ve seen that article and as you say it explains how to setup the client to connect to Lync Online using manual configuration. However, it doesn't say that automatic configuration doesn't work. Of course we would like to use automatic configuration but now we know that it doesn't work and we're able to inform our mac users.
If you have tried to set up Office 365 in a Windows client, you will need to run Desktop Setup. That application will help your computer more efficient to use the function of Office 365.
But there is not an app for Mac. So you need to manual configure the Lync for Mac.
Hello Hasse,
Did you receive our update regarding your issue, and needing to configure Lync for Mac on the Apple personal computer to a manual configuration?
Hi Albert!
Yes, thanks! Now I at least know that there is nothing wrong on our side.
You're welcome.

Finding the strike zone
As a new season begins, two upfront evangelical pitchers talk baseball and life
"Finding the strike zone" Continued...
GOODYEAR and SCOTTSDALE, Arizona-The past half-year has been an extraordinary period for high-profile Christians in sports, one that raises the question: What's next?
It started with Tim Tebow's run of last-minute Denver Bronco victories, and kids all over the country kneeling-"Tebowing"-in imitation of their hero. It continued with Jeremy Lin's out-of-nowhere ascendency to New York Knicks point-guard brilliance, the first Asian-American to be such a hit, and in a media market that magnified "Linsanity." Neither Tebow nor Lin shied away from testifying to their faith in Christ when opportunities arose.
Will a young evangelical baseball player similarly emerge this year? It's harder, because baseball coverage is traditionally more localized than national, and with 162 games rather than football's 16, the spotlight on particular moments during the regular season isn't that intense. But here's one nominee for a baseball breakout star: Justin Masterson, who celebrated his 27th birthday on March 22.
Masterson is a PK-preacher's kid-starting his fifth major league season. He is scheduled to be Cleveland's opening day pitcher on April 5, after compiling last year a 3.21 earned run average with 12 wins. (That would have been 16 or more with better hitting support, Cleveland sportswriters say.) He throws fastballs that can reach 97 mph, heavy-drop sinkers (some say that's his best pitch) that range from 84 to 94 mph, and sliders or change-ups that come in at 77 to 83 mph.
Masterson, born in Jamaica where his dad was a seminary dean, grew up in the Midwest as his father pastored churches in Indiana and Ohio. The pitcher says PKs either follow their dads or become "crazy rebels." Masterson did a couple of mildly crazy things as a teenager- police arrested him and a friend for stealing a street sign, and he volunteered with Habitat for Humanity to work off a community service sentence-but he says he realized when young that he is a sinner and "needs Jesus."
In high school Masterson shaved his head as part of a Halloween costume-he was Mr. Clean-and kept the bald look to top off what is now a 6-foot-6-inch, 250-pound frame. He also read a WORLD cover story ("Throwing heat and taking heat," Aug. 3, 2002) on Atlanta pitcher John Smoltz, who said he loved playing but also felt called to start a Christian school: The following year Masterson told a Dayton Daily News sportswriter, "My father is a pastor, and I want to spread God's word too. If I make it in professional baseball, what better stage is there?"
After playing baseball for two years at Bethel, a small Christian college in Indiana, Masterson transferred to San Diego State, coached by Hall-of-Famer Tony Gwynn. Then came minor league stints and a major league call-up in 2008. Along the way some teammates nicknamed him "Jesus ... because they'd go to a bar or a party and I'd go hang out with them, but not drink. They thought it interesting, with some of the other Christians they had encountered, that I'd still be willing to hang out with them and make sure they didn't kill themselves. ... I told them, 'I'm not Jesus, but if you're thinking about Him, that's OK.'"
In the minor leagues Masterson gained another nickname, "The Shepherd," because he became known for paying attention to lonely and homesick Latin American players: "They stick with each other because they don't really know English that well. I know enough Spanish to make a fool of myself, and once you do that they feel more confident to make fools of themselves when trying to speak English. ... It blossomed into some fun relationships and the opportunity to hang out with them and try to get them to chapel or talk to them about God."
Masterson passed up the sexual opportunities that present themselves to college and professional athletes: Asked whether girls were throwing themselves at him, he laughed and responded, "They might try to, but girls scare me." Masterson married four years ago a woman he met at Bethel: He and Meryl have a 1-year-old, Eden Joy, "and hope to fill the world with a whole bunch of little ones." Many major league players have told me that it's hard to turn down readily available sex on the road, but Masterson says, "I could not live with myself to even think about the idea of cheating on my wife."
Some pitchers have their own prosperity gospel-praise God from whom all strikeouts flow, ignore Him at other times-and Masterson wants none of it: "In baseball you see a lot of guys who get a base hit and point up that they're giving glory to Christ. Then they strike out and you don't see them walk back to the dugout doing the same thing: "Thank you for the strikeout." My prayer always before the game is that whether I give up five homeruns or have a perfect game, I'll show Christ. ... What the outcome is, I don't know. ... Maybe that man hit a home run off me today because God was trying to work in his life. Or maybe I just made a bad pitch."
Many baseball players have manic-depressive swings depending on how their last game went, but Meryl Masterson speaks about how even-tempered her husband is, and he says the secret is faith that "Christ controls it all." Trusting in God's sovereignty, Masterson says, does not make him less competitive: "Watch me play." Once, when told he was too nice to hit a batter crowding the plate, he replied, "'I'll hit the first guy of the game,' and I did-with a fastball right in the gut. ... Whether I win or lose I'm going to put it all on the line and know that whatever happens, I still have Christ in my life."
Masterson admitted that he is not immune to praying, "Lord, I could really use a strikeout right here"-but adds, "If He doesn't give it me, I'm not like, 'Oh, God, why have you forsaken me?'" He says his usual response is, "I could have made a better pitch." He tries to communicate that attitude to others, but realizes he has a lot to learn: During the off-season he attends East 91st Street Christian Church in Indianapolis, "a good Bible-believing church."
Sportswriters, often a cynical bunch, will be looking for evidence that Christ doesn't make a difference. One Cleveland sportswriter, Jodie Valade, wrote last August, "It might be nice, perhaps, if one day Justin Masterson really exploded, really expressed the emotions churning beneath that perpetually cheerful exterior. ... If he spouted off the bitterness everyone knows must be simmering somewhere deep down, if he'd stop being so gosh-darn merry and upbeat about everything tossed his way."
Valade did admit that Masterson's "perpetual optimism" and "unflappable demeanor" have "helped him progress from an unsteady pitcher" to a prime-time starter. This year he'll begin having the benefits and pressures of major league wealth, as his salary jumps from $468,000 in 2011 to $3.83 million for 2012. Sportswriters will be watching carefully to see if success goes to his head.
They do say Masterson is well-regarded by his teammates, in part because of efforts like one last year that aided utility infielder Jack Hannahan, who was batting only .217. The Indians were in Boston when Hannahan's wife went into labor, two months prematurely. The only way for Hannahan to get to the hospital in time was by private jet-at a cost of at least $35,000 that Hannahan did not have. Masterson learned about the problem and talked with teammates: Together they came up with the money. Hannahan flew to Cleveland and rushed to the hospital. Fifteen minutes later his wife gave birth.
Masterson may be the player best-positioned to become baseball's breakout Tebow or Lin, but every team has Christians who don't hide their faith. For example, Jeremy Affeldt of the San Francisco Giants writes weekly posts for his personal blog on topics such as "Living like Jesus," discipleship, and social justice: He wrote recently about the importance of both clean water and indestructible soccer balls in poor countries, and also noted that the greatest injustice anyone could experience is not knowing who Jesus is.
Affeldt, 32, went to Northwest Christian School in Spokane, then headed to Florida for minor league ball: "That's when I took myself to church and read the Bible on my own." In recent years he has been reading books by Christian authors including New York pastor Tim Keller: "The Reason for God is pretty awesome. I really enjoyed the book. I pass it out." (See "Book of the Year," June 28, 2008.)
Affeldt has seemed headed for stardom several times during his decade-long major league career, but each time a physical ailment-blisters, a partially torn rib-cage muscle, a groin injury-sidelined the left-handed relief pitcher: "I went through times when I was quitting this game because I failed so much. ... I was wondering if I should be doing this for a living. ... During those times I truly was leaning a lot on God. ... So now when I'm dealing with some young guys who are going bad, I have stories to tell. If I was always succeeding, then I would have no stories."
Now, Affeldt has a tattoo on his forearm that proclaims "Solus Christus," Christ alone. He got it on Mother's Day last year because his wife, Larisa, wanted a tattoo but she wanted him "to do it first, so I said, 'OK, I'm a big church history guy and the five solas of church history are very important to me.'" (The Protestant Reformation emphasized five solas-living by Scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, glory to God alone.) Larisa went for an "Eternity" tattoo on her wrist because during the baseball season her husband is on the road half the time: When she's caring alone for their two small children, she wants a reminder of the long-range perspective. (A third child is due in September.)
I asked Affeldt how he gets along with San Francisco's powerful gay contingent. Affeldt's goal is to "love them as my neighbor. Then hopefully in my love for them they will have a situation where they can find Jesus." He's "gotten to know a few people from the community, and they are in a lot of pain," in part because they "feel judged." He said homosexuality is a sin but he doesn't lead with that fact.
Listen to Marvin Olasky interview Justin Masterson and Jeremy Affeldt on WORLD's radio news magazine The World and Everything in It.
Father-son memories
Masterson said his dad "set a great example for me, as did my mother, of how to love Christ and love others."
I called Masterson's father to ask about bringing up Justin, who was "not a perfect child, but good." The primary parenting key, Mark Masterson said, was "trusting God." Second came involvement-playing catch, serving as an assistant coach-without making demands: no special traveling teams with extended seasons, just regular baseball. (Justin Masterson recalled, "It was never the 'you need to do this.' It was, 'you enjoy it, let's do it.'")
Dad and boy both told me about one favorite memory, a Bethel College tournament game. Bethel trailed 2-1. Justin was at bat with a man on. Mark yelled encouragement from the stands. Justin replied, "This one's for you, Dad"-and he hit a game-winning homerun. Justin: "It was the most incredible experience-just having my dad there and screaming it out and being able to do it at that moment. ... It has been a blessing to be able to play the game of baseball, and now I get paid to do it." - Marvin Olasky
Five favorite evangelical interviewees
Outfielder Andy Van Slyke was the first Christian major leaguer I interviewed two decades ago. The first two players up for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a March 7 Tempe training game this year were Tony Gwynn Jr. and Jerry Hairston Jr., both sons of major leaguers, but then came Scott Van Slyke, one of Andy's four children.
That brought back memories. On average, Christians in baseball are not more epistemologically articulate than the general populace-many belong to the "big man upstairs" school of theology-but some have thought through their faith and its implication. Here are comments from five who impressed me:
• John Smoltz on why Christian schools are important-"Kids need the ability to differentiate between evolution and Christian understanding. ... They need the weapons to defend Christianity, to be able to understand and debate the differences between religions, to know what's happening in the world and how to compete." (See "Throwing heat and taking heat," Aug. 3, 2002.)
• Mike Easler, a star hitter who became a Baptist minister and hitting coach-"My job is to mold a guy, teach him to be humble. I pray that God will work on him so he will change not just on the outside but on the inside." (See "The 'Hit Man' returns," Sept. 5, 1998.)
• Harold Reynolds "Christians who play passively haven't gone deep enough into Scripture. Biblical meekness has nothing to do with weakness; you're meek before the Lord by glorifying Him, and that means using all the talent He's given you, and the only way to do that is by playing hard."
• Curt Schilling, who professed Christ in 1997 but didn't talk about the change with reporters and fans until 2004-"I've learned that you should never hide your faith. I wasted seven years. People didn't know." (See "Public profession," March 19, 2005.)
• Andy Van Slyke "Before I became a Christian my baseball life was such a roller coaster-good days, bad days-that it was wearing me out. ... But God doesn't save us because of our performance, and whether it's a good performance or a bad performance it's not going to threaten our relationship with God. That's a comforting thing to know." - Marvin Olasky

Echo Global Logistics rolls out FlexTMS
February 08, 2011
Echo Global Logistics, a non-asset based freight brokerage company and a provider of technology-enabled transportation and supply chain management services, recently introduced a new, self-service Transportation Management System (TMS).
Entitled Flex TMS, the software-as-a-service (SaaS) application provides shippers with integrated managed services, according to Echo. The company said that it provides shippers with a customized, cost-effective solution which includes routing guide management, automated load entry, tendering and acceptance, load visibility with customized reporting and analytics to assist with freight management.
In an interview with LM, Echo CEO Doug Waggoner explained that Echo's enterprise business, which is primarily comprised of contractual transportation management, have centered on deals single-source deals exclusive to Echo, with Echo providing shippers with technology services, staff, and management of processes, RFPs, and carriers and act like a shipper's transportation department.
"Along the way we have realized that dealing with larger shippers, particularly in the truckload space and intermodal, already have a sizeable investment in their process for things like staff, carrier relations, and negotiated pricing, among others," said Waggoner. "What we heard from our customers was that they like what we offer but they don't want to let go of what they have…and disrupt our existing carrier relationships, but they like our technology and want to improve their process and automate it as much as possible."
This led to a shift by Echo to take their existing technology and modify it to a cloud-based, SaaS TMS that would enable a shipper to load its transportation processes and data into Echo's IT platform and subsequently have Echo manage it for them.
Waggoner described this shift as going from Echo's single-source enterprise solution to a multi-source solution.
"We'd still like to participate in the freight handling for some portion of the shipments, but we are going to give our customer technology that they can manage all of their shipments with, regardless of whether Echo gets the shipment or not," said Waggoner. "And they get all the benefits that go with that. In cases when companies do not need us to act as their transportation department, they are still asking for the technology we provide and this is how we can do that."
The FlexTMS also helps shippers with automating time-consuming processes and providing shippers with greater visibility to the entire transportation management function while also continuing existing carrier relationships.
When asked to cite an example of how FlexTMS helps with automating processes, Waggoner cited how a large truckload shipper who has created a routing guide will run an RFP process with asset-based carriers and a few brokers. The routing guide would note that in any given lane there are a certain number of carriers that the shipper has pre-screened and pre-selected capabilities and pricing. And as the shipper gets shipments in that lane, the shipper will use the top carriers in the routing guide.
"Depending on the number of shipments there are, that process can be quite time-consuming, with shippers calling carriers on a daily basis to see if they have capacity for lanes they bid on," said Waggoner. "We automate that whole process and load that routing guide into our system, which pings carriers telling them about an available load and the carrier can bid on that lane if they want the load. If the carrier says no, then the system goes to the next carrier on the list and offers the load to them."

ELKTON, Md. (WUSA) -- A Cecil County man was fatally shot by a Maryland state trooper Thursday morning after when a car and foot chase.
According to state police, 41-year-old Anthony A. Hammond, Jr. of Elkton died after fleeing a trooper, crashing into a parked vehicle and then running to a home.
Police say it all started when Trooper First Class Michael Cox. TFC Cox, am eight-year veteran of the Maryland State Police, saw Hammond's Dodge Durango in the area of Winchester Drive shortly before 1:30 a.m. The trooper knew Hammond was wanted on several warrants so he started to follow the Durango.
The Durango driver sped away before the trooper activated his lights, say police. The driver then turned off the car lights and drove about a mile to the 300 block of Willow Drive. The Durango struck a parked car and the driver jumped out and fled on foot. A passenger in the vehicle also fled on foot.
The trooper saw Hammond kick in the door of home in a townhouse community. The trooper followed Hammond, but didn't know who lived in the home, and ordered Hammond several times to surrender.
According to the investigation so far, Hammond turned and ran toward the trooper when the trooper entered the home. No evidence suggest Hammond was carrying a weapon. Hammond reportedly attempted to disarm the trooper of his weapon, a Glock 22 .40 caliber pistol. The trooper feared for his life and fired, shooting Hammond in the upper torso.
Hammond was later pronounced dead.
Investigators learned Hammond was living at the home with his sister and her family. Six other people were at the home at the time of the shooting, but no one else was injured.
According to state police investigators, some family members say that they heard the trooper giving verbal commands before the shooting.
Hammond was wanted on eight warrants for criminal charges in Maryland and warrants for criminal charges in Delaware. The Maryland charges include three failure to appear bench warrants, as well as warrants for theft, credit card offenses, attempting to elude police, and telephone misuse/harassment.
State police say Hammond was also driving on a revoked driver's license.
Trooper Cox has been placed on routine administrative leave while the investigation continues.

Jasmine's in the air at the Fountains
Jasmine Villegas, better known as Jasmine V. was at the Fountains at Rosevilleon Sunday in support of AT&T's No Text On Board tour, as throngs of Jasminators (as her fans are known) turned out in support of their favorite pop singer.
The 18 year old Villegas is an up and coming R&B, pop singer and has made appearances in Justin Bieber's music video for his hit single "Baby," as well as the Kid's Choice Awards. She's also made a few appearances in Bieber's most recent tour.
AT&T is using the No Text On Board Tour to get the word out about texting and driving. Their tagline is #itcanwait and you can take the pledge at itcanwait.org.
They can't get the word out quick enough! I had several near misses on the way over to the fountains as people continue to text, use their phones, and do other idiotic things while driving. People, I'd like to get to where I'm going without having to perform numerous defensive maneuvers.
Since Villegas' performance was scheduled at the last minute, the Fountains at Roseville, as well as local radio station 107.9 The End had very little time to get the word out. Not a lot of fans showed up, but the diehard fans who follow Villegas through social media were able to get the inside scoop as she tweeted;
"#SacramentoAreaJasminators my No Text On Board Tour sponsored by @ATT is coming to Fountains at Roseville Center 9/9 @2pm RT if u're coming!?"
As around 600 fans gathered around the stage Villegas' older brother Jream Andrew was entertaining the crowd along with younger brother Justin, by asking the crowd questions about Jasmine such as;
"What was the title of Jasmine's first music video?" – answer: "I Own This"
The first person to answer the questions correctly won a ticket to Paranorman, or a T-shirt compliments of The End.
Right away Villega's invited a number of young ladies up onstage to dance to her hit "Werk." She followed up with "Jealous," as fans kept shouting out that they loved her.
Villegas sang a song with her brother Jream and then Jream went solo with "Grillin." There were a number of Jream fans with signs, as well as plenty of signs for Villega's.
Villegas ended the set with "Just a Friend." Afterward the fans were treated to a meet and greet.
It's great that AT&T is sponsoring these types of events. Texting while driving is extremely irresponsible, selfish, and just downright stupid – so please don't!
One Response to Jasmine's in the air at the Fountains

For the non-res MT is a terrible system.
They offer no "points only option" for special elk/deer permits, you can apply for pts only for deer/elk if you fail to draw a general deer, or elk, or combo license, but if you draw the tag and only want points, you only get an 85% refund? or so, which leaves you something like $150-200 lost. So essentially if you wnt points only in MT it costs you $200 plus the other permit fees etc...
Perhaps this is to keep people from applying for points only, or just letting the rich gain points while the rest of us only apply in years we can actually hunt.
Not sure who's running the show in MT, but they can do better.
Also worth pointing out, MT, sheep, moose, and goat tags, since no points only option, leaves hunters who only want points apply for the toughest draw odd units, leaving hunters who actually want that tag putting up against hunters who only want points and not the tag, so the best unit and/or toughest odd units get more applicants than they really should, further reducing odds. Sounds like a lose-lose situation.
I say you can have a points only option, and still require hunters to front the entire tag fee, or even half, vs. no fee then everyone would apply, but full tag fees, then people would just apply for the tag vs. points only.
Basically MT needs a points only option that requires half the tag fee up front, and would refund almost all of your application fees, app fees of almost $200 are absurd.
my lil rant, not bashing MT hunters or Montanians in general btw, just their application system. Btw why does online cost more than mailing in tags? something like $50 to apply online for the avg. non res? once the system has been paid for, it should be free/cheaper, less people doing the work, it's automated. This fee should be reduced as well.
Just my $0.02

The ticket office informed us that the lower seating bowl for the Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Royals-Yankees games are already sold out and that Wednesday's is close. There are still tickets to each game available, but they seem to be going fast. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you haven't bought your Royals-Yankees tickets. And, please remember, standing in the ticket line on game day is easily avoidable – buy your tickets in advance at royals.com, by calling (816) 504-4040 or at the Kauffman Stadium ticket windows.

I'm a Royals fan because of that rivalry with the **** Yankees. In the late 70's, my entire family was behind the Yanks. I was the family freak and so I wanted to get on board with anyone but those in pinstripes. Then came post-season and that awesome matchup. I got into the Royals and took some beatings from my older, larger kin. It ****** the first few years: Chris Chambliss with a walkoff homer; Freddy Patek hitting into a series ending double play… Still, KC always had more character and heart than the New York glory boys. George Brett could've thrashed Craig Nettles, for instance. Darrel Porter was way cooler than Thermun Munson. And so on. Every year, I bet my brother on a Royals-Yanks series. Last year, I lost a Louisville Slugger. This year, the bet is a bucket of balls. That ***** and his prima donna Yanks are going down.
Wow! Now I'm convinced that you are really a Royals fan! Growing up in KC during the middle to late 70s, I detested those Yankees. I like nothing more than seeing the Royals sweep the Yankees when they come to KC next week. Good luck with your bet! Go Royals!
What? You doubted my devotion? I'm the guy wearing the Royals hat in downtown Boston even in the worst of times. No ambivalence over here.
It'd be sweet to hear the NY fans whimpering if we take three or four from them. I'm still savoring the sounds of the Sox fans' agony. No sound is sweeter.
i'm bought tommorrow,wednesday and thursday and the next series in september i think
