Escape to paradise at Mill Point. Enjoy secluded luxury in this uniquely modern 6 bedroom private residence. Indulge your senses on the lush property, steeped in history. Mill Point is an exceptional chance to get away from it all, to surrender yourself to the wonders of the Caribbean. Adore panoramic views of the turquoise sea, as you float the day away in the pool. Scuba dive world famous wrecks and dive sites within walking distance or snorkel one of the unspoiled West End beaches. Spend the afternoon wondering through our historic sugar and rum factories or curl up with a good book in a circa 1780 sugar mill. The towns of Frederiksted and Christiansted await you, offering colonial architecture, duty free shopping, and fine restaurants. Wind down and take in the spectacular sunsets and the rare green flash. Let the cool breezes and the bright stars usher you into another perfect tropical day. Whether for a short or extended vacation, corporate retreat or wedding, come enjoy the Mill Point experience.
Mill Point is part of the Butler Bay Plantation, formerly the largest rum producing factory on St. Croix. The sugar mill has been converted into an amazing architectural dream and one of a kind home. We invite you to explore our 8 acres of lush tropical flora, ancient Baobab Trees, historic ruins with a vast Caribbean Sea view and short walk to the sandy and gorgeous Butler Bay Cove for snorkeling, diving, or soaking in the warm sun and salt air.
This was the first time we've rented a villa and it won't be the last. We cannot describe how thrilled our whole family was with our stay @ Millpoint sugar mill in St. Croix. The island has over 100 sugar mills that were built 250 years ago. This property was situation on 8 acres. The villa was built around the sugar mill. The driveway and the estate were surrounded by large beautiful flowering shrubs. From the pool/deck eating area our view in every direction was lush landscape and calm ocean. We enjoyed watching sunsets and stargazing @ night. We could not see a home or a building in any direction. The privacy was perfect for our family of 12. We felt like we were in a movie. The great room included a large kitchen where many of us could prepare food at the same time. There was also a dining room and living room. We never used the dining room. All our meals were eaten outside at the table that seated 14. Each room was uniquely appointed. I especially enjoyed the fact that some of the showers backed up directly to the unique stone of the mill and were individually decorated. Each bathroom was hand painted with birds, flower pots etc. The windows were louvered allowing the breeze & sounds of the ocean although air conditioning was also provided. Our pool was clean and had a great diving board. Everything we needed was supplied in the kitchen, bathrooms and pool. The only thing I missed in renting a villa/home was not having maid service to take care of towels and dishes when we were leaving. Our stay was very reasonably priced for a 6 bedroom villa for a week. We were on the side of the island away from tourism which we enjoyed immensely. It was very tropical, not crowded on the roads or restaurants and no chains, strip malls or big box stores anywhere nearby but still close enough to purchase anything we needed.. We are already looking for a villa for next year through this site. None of us had ever been to St. Croix. We came prepared for sun, mosquitoes and no see-um's but we did not have problem with any of those things but we did have a few bee stings. The bushes were flowering, the bees nesting and we did have our share of "sticky" sweet drinks outside. The gardener was there 3 times during the week and routinely sprays for bees but we wished we would have sprayed more for bees at the beginning and hosed down the table and deck after meals. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary & the manager had personally baked a cake for us!
Truly a one of a kind property. It's a perfect venue for a family vacation. We spent the week there with 10 family members. We had privacy, plenty of room and great common areas for getting together. It has a pool, with fantastic views and is secluded and safe, yet close enough to activities. The property manager is highly responsive. If you are considering a Caribbean vacation I highly recommend this property.
The view are simply incredible. The place and space is quiet and serene. It really feels like a personal oasis. I loved the rooms and the private pool. The stars at night are stunning! I highly recommend Mill Point.

This place was more than we even dreamed! We chose to stay here for 5 days with our family and also had our wedding right in the sugar mill arch overlooking the pool and ocean. Not only was the house breathtaking and well kept, but the staff and property managers were so accommodating and helpful. House and all rooms are beautiful and very private. We will definitely be coming back!!
I stayed here when it was privately owned by a husband & wife. I see that it has been sold and majorly updated. I can only imagine how much better it must be now. We went down with family back in March/April of '06 I want to say. I may be a year or two off. Anyway, this place is absolutely the best! I stayed in what they called "the dungeon", the room that is down and kind of away from the main part of the house. I loved how unique this property was. And that it was an old sugar mill. It is truly the most unique place I have ever had the pleasure of staying. I would highly recommend it! The price really isn't that bad considering the view. Holy cow! And it sleeps up to 14, so that really is affordable! We are considering going back again. We got to stay here for free since we knew the owners. I didn't realize just how blessed we were. But I would totally pay the cost now anyway :)
This villa was all we had hoped it would be, and more. The view is nothing short of spectacular, the beaches are only a 2-3 minute drive away, and the villa itself was amazing! We had 12 people (2 per room), and we were NEVER crowded. The individual rooms are secluded, the common areas (pool, patio, dining room, living room, and kitchen) are all centrally located and perfect for everyone to get together in, or retreat to your room for privacy. There are no close neighbors to bother or worry about, but restaurants and activities are only a short drive away. I definitely recommend renting a vehicle, and the great thing is that someone from the property management will meet you at the airport, and escort you to the villa. We did have issues with some creepy crawlies, but you're in the Caribbean, and being from Michigan where we don't have that issue for the most part, we still knew that would be a part of our visit, no matter where we stayed. There were very few in the rooms, mostly around the damp pool area, so it was expected and we took it in stride. There was one minor issue with a sewage odor in one of the rooms, but I texted Carissa and it was taken care of immediately! We enjoyed our stay there IMMENSELY and would DEFINITELY go back again. Thank you, Jennifer and Carissa for a wonderful vacation!

Keys Mom Urania Lot Charged With Beating Son With a Hammer Over a Sandwich
All Urania Lot wanted was for her 18-year-old son to eat his sandwich in the dining room. When he refused to quit chomping in the living room, the 60-year-old Stock Island mom grabbed a hammer. And when threats of smashing the TV to bits didn't work either, Lot wailed on him with her fists and the tool, police say. She's under arrest now, charged with felony battery.
Monroe County Sheriff's deputies were called to Lot's mobile home on Stock Island -- the island just east of Key West -- around 11 a.m. on Monday.
Lot's son, Julio, was sitting on the front porch nursing a sore arm and battered head. He told the cops he and his mom "had been arguing over a sandwich."
When police interviewed Lot and her granddaughter, who'd watched the fight, both said that her son had been "belligerent" about taking his snack-time to another room. Lot allegedly hit him on the arm with the hammer, punched him in the head and bit his wrist.

"Urania was angry at Julio because he was eating a sandwich in the living room against her wishes," sheriff's deputies wrote in an arrest report. "She explained that Julio was verbally abusive and refused her requests to eat the sandwich at the table."
Lot faces one felony count of aggravated battery.

Free State High School's Lynne Renick named as Lawrence Secondary Teacher of the Year
Mrs. Renick is by far one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. I am graduating from college this year, and I am so glad I had the opportunity to take her class in 9th grade. I derived my writing skills by taking her vigorous course, and the knowledge I acquired in that one year has helped me tremendously over the years.
Thanks for the knowledge & making it fun! Congrats - this award is well-deserved! (Now I hope I have no grammar mistakes in this post...)

Person injured in fall from third-floor balcony
Well first off, Erica wasn't even driving in the car accident, and no one even positively knows what caused the car accident.Second off, Sean and I have grown apart a lot through high school, but he is still someone I've known for pretty much all my life, and who I will and do care about. People make bad judgments and make mistakes. It's just unfortunate that my friends were the ones that were injured from acts that probably occur often but other people walk away from. It doesn't help to make fun of the situation and talk badly because if anything, everyone is learning from these accidents, and it's horrible that something so tragic has to happen to make people learn. So don't judge me and try to warn me of my friends or people I care about.

Person injured in fall from third-floor balcony
thank you shutuporstepup.I've gone to school with Sean since elementary school, and he is one of the most genuine people I know. He always has a smile on and is always befriending people and isn't afraid to acknowledge someone he might not even be that close to, but who he still knows. Please stop talking badly of him and joking of someone who is suffering. It's incredibly disrespectful to him and everyone that knows him. My other friend was in the horrendous car accident earlier this week, and now Sean and her are both in critical condition in the hospital. As much as their friends try to ignore your comments, they're extremely hurtful because we read the articles and the comments over and over for a sense of support from anyone. So please stop, and please keep our friends in your thoughts in a positive manner.

Boyzone Almost Abandoned New Album
The surviving members of Boyzone considered shelving their upcoming album "Brother" following Stephen Gately's death - but agreed their late bandmate "would never have forgiven" them if they had scrapped the record. The five-piece were hard at work on the album when Gately suddenly died in October 2009.
The grief-stricken group contemplated axing "Brother" - but after several emotional discussions they decided to release the album in honor of Gately. Keith Duffy tells Britain's Daily Star, "We started work on this album over a year ago and Steo (Gately) played a big part in choosing songs - he was seriously excited about making it."
"If people asked us why we didn't release the album and we said, 'It's because Stephen passed away,' he'd be there looking down saying, 'Don't you blame it on me you little f**kers!' He would never have forgiven us."

Federally Funded Radio and TV Marti to Continue Cuban Broadcasts During Shutdown
Thanks to the government shutdown, national parks are closed, hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been sent home without a paycheck, and all federal government activities considered nonessential will effectively halt.
However, controversial and ineffective government-sponsored broadcasts to Cuba through Radio and TV Martí will continue with little change. In fact, the stations are ironically producing stories about the government shutdown. Meaning, the federal government is paying to report on the fact that it can't pay for things right now.
According to an FAQ released by Martí's parent organization, the Broadcasting Board of Governors has determined the broadcasts are "foreign relations essential to the national security" and will continue. Though "evergreen and pre-recorded material will be used to the highest extent possible," breaking news and high-priority live news programs will continue. Employees needed to maintain the broadcasts and produce those programs will remain employed with no furloughs.
The station's digital efforts and website will also continue. Ironically, the federally funded news website carries a story about the government shutdown.

Martí's anti-Castro propaganda broadcasts are produced in Miami and beamed into Cuba. The broadcasts are meant to counter the Cuban government's tight control on media in the country and its own pro-Castro propaganda. The legality of the broadcasts have been questioned by several organizations, both in America and internationally. Cuba is able to effectively jam the signal, especially the TV broadcasts. A study found that less than a third of 1 percent of the Cuban population watches TV Martí.
The federal government has spent more than $500 million funding the stations since their launch, though their budgets have been reduced under the Obama administration. A report to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in 2010 deemed the efforts a failure.
However, even during a government shutdown, TV and Radio Martí will soldier on.

Mexico jet crash kills 1, injures 4, including doctor who leads vigilante group
Doctor Jose Manuel Mireles, leader and coordinator of several self-defense groups, is carried in a stretcher as he arrives at a hospital in the city of Morelia, Mexico, early Sunday Jan. 5, 2013. Mireles was badly injured when a single engine aircraft in which he was traveling crashed near the town of La Huacana. (AP/Agencia Esquema)
Gustavo Ruiz, The Associated Press
Published Sunday, January 5, 2014 6:41PM EST
MORELIA, Mexico -- A small plane crashed in western Mexico, killing one man and injuring four other people, including an outspoken doctor who leads a vigilante group, authorities said Sunday.
The prosecutor's office in Michoacan state said it is investigating what it described as an accident caused by a mechanical failure. The Mexican attorney general's office also launched a probe into the cause of the crash.
The four injured passengers included Dr. Jose Manuel Mireles, a key leader of an armed effort by residents to force drug gangs out of their communities. An unidentified man died at a hospital.
The crash quickly spread fear among other vigilantes and residents in western Mexico because it came hours after one of the groups seized a Michoacan town, sparking a shootout that killed a man.
Magdalena Guzman, spokeswoman of Michoacan attorney's office, said the plane took off from Guadalajara on Saturday afternoon and was logged to land in the rural community of Tepalcatepec, where Mireles works as a doctor and heads a group of armed citizens standing up to the Knights Templar cartel.
Guzman said it is unclear why the plane went down in the town of La Huacana, about 90 miles further south and east from the planned destination.
"They may have changed their path after taking off," Guzman said.
Mireles was flown with a head injury and a dislocated jaw to Michoacan's capital of Morelia, where he was reported in stable condition. Two other men and a woman were also injured in the crash.
Mireles had lived 10 years with his family in Modesto, Calif., where he volunteered for the Red Cross before returning to his native Michoacan.
He has scored some victories in a 10-month effort to kick out the Knights Templar from the lime-growing valley that surrounds Tepalcatepec. Aligned with other self-defence groups, his men have taken control of some towns and expelled drug traffickers who kidnap and extort people to make money.
On Saturday, more than 100 vigilantes arrived at the town of Paracuaro in pickup trucks and SUVs and erected a checkpoint at the main entrance. They disarmed some police officers out of suspicion they were working with traffickers.
Michoacan authorities say a man was killed in a gun battle after the vigilantes seized the town. The man has not been identified as a member of either a drug cartel or a self-defence group.

Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

Juneau's Reuben Yost is the new chief of the state ferry system. But he'll spend only about half his time on that job.
Transportation Commissioner Pat Kemp named the long-time department employee to the deputy commissioner post Tuesday.
Yost will be in charge of the marine highway. But he'll also oversee measurement standards, commercial vehicle enforcement and special projects.
Reuben Yost is the new deputy commissioner for ferries, measurement standards and special projects. DOT Photo.
"Commissioner Kemp envisions three deputies that have areas of responsibility, but aren't limited to just one area," he says.
Yost says the structural changes will shift some responsibilities to marine highway General Manager John Falvey. He's been in that position about eight years.
One big job is to oversee design of the Alaska Class Ferry. Gov. Sean Parnell last month announced two smaller shuttle ships will be built with existing funds. Earlier plans called for one larger ship.
Yost says he will also work to fund and design other new ships for Southwest and Southeast service.
"The Tustumena is in need of replacement. And so are some of the original mainliners. That's an aspect that people really haven't focused on with the Alaska Class Ferries," he says.
Yost replaces Mike Neussl, who was in charge of just the ferry system for about two years. Several predecessors also had that focus.
Yost has been overseeing a number of transportation efforts, including the Juneau Access Project. That would build a road north out of Juneau to a shuttle-ferry terminal across Lynn Canal from Haines.
He began his 18-year state career as an environmental analyst and manager. More recently, he's been Southeast regional director of construction, maintenance and operations.
"I've kind of been involved in all areas of the Department of Transportation in terms of types of projects and different modes: rural airport projects, highway projects and some marine projects," he says.
Yost will be the sixth person in about a decade to head up the marine highway system. He says he's in his early 60s and thinking about retirement, but not anytime soon.
Before moving to Juneau, Yost commercial-fished out of Pelican, where he served as mayor. He says he learned the value of the ferry system while living in the remote Chichagof Island town.
He's also worked as a teacher. His degrees are in industrial education and zoology.

Larson's other books have stuck to a winning formula, and he does not deviate from this simple framework for Thunderstruck. In the Devil and the White City the story of the Chicago World Fair, and the awesome demonstration of science and technology that went with it, was narrated alongside the gruesome story of mass murderer [ ]. In the Drowning of Galveston the nascent science of meteorology was tested and found flawed with devastating consequences, and again Larson wove a story of technological progress around human suffering.
In Thunderstruck the technological progress takes the starring role. The main thrust of this book is the story of radio waves, wireless telegraphy and the intriguing personalities that developed them. This is the story of Marconi, Fleming, Lodge and Tesler in an age where the transmission of messages through the ether to once isolated ships seemed as miraculous as the psychic and metaphysical demonstrations of mediums that fascinated late Victorian England.
But once again Larson ties the story of progress with something darker. In this case it is the case of Dr Crippen, his domineering and eventually dismembered wife Belle and Ethel Le Neve, his mysterious mistress. Most people will be familiar with the story of Crippen, the body in the basement and his eventual capture by use of wireless telegraphy. This is the connections that binds the two stories.Read more ›
In this book he takes as his subject one of the famous of Victorian murders, Dr Crippen. The case itself is not exactly remarkable - the list of men who murder their wives and elope with a mistress is after all depressingly long. However, what made the case of Dr Crippen stand out is the use of the new technology of wireless telegraphy in his capture. The sensational drama of the chase, Dr Crippen and his mistress sailing the Atlantic oblivious to their fate whilst wireless was used to communicate and coordinate every aspect of the chase to police and the public on both sides of the Atlantic. The other strand to this narrative history, therefore, is the story of Guglielmo Marconi and his invention of the technology that would revolutionise communication and make the world a much smaller place, much to Dr Crippen's cost.
I have to confess, I am not remotely interested in science or the history of inventions and found little of any real note in the Dr Crippen case either. Therefore the fact that I so thoroughly enjoyed this book is true testament to the author. I've read several other of Erik Larson's books and they have all been equally as good. He isn't an historian I would turn to for any great depth or insight, but for a rollicking good read, and a true one, to boot, he's hard to beat.
There, the 'White City' as a human construct, built to highlight the brightest of men's achievements, serves as an unknowing and unwilling lure to the deadly and dark ensnarement of 'The Devil' - Almost a case of "The brighter the light, the darker the shade"; In this book the tales of Marconi and Crippen are also related in parallel, but in a slightly hazy chronological order sometimes, and the two stories really only touch, make contact, at the end.
It doesn't make it any less satisfying which is why I've given it a 5*, and it's fascinating to read about people's incredulous amazement that any kind of messages could be sent through the ether (given how wireless technology in all its forms is absolutely embedded in our civilisation, just a hundred or so years later).
On a total side-note, years ago I'd read a book about the sinking of the Empress of Ireland, captained by Henry Kendall - It was interesting to get a glimpse into his eventful past and the part he played in the capture of Dr Crippen.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 1555 reviews
I would just flag that the hotel restaurant "Citrus" was the best place I ate in ten days in San Antonio.
I visited the hotel with my husband while on R&R from my deployment. We loved it, the service was awesome and the location was right no the river walk.
Awesome rooms and places to eat on property and near by. Quiet place on the river!!
We stayed here, ten years ago, when we were on our honeymoon. On our tenth anniversary we wanted to stay here again, to celebrate our anniversary. We drove in, from the hill country and, again, had a wonderful stay.
great ambiance

Check out this article from the CrossFit Journal and take it for what it is worth. We want you to work hard--no matter if you RX a WOD or scale it. We want you to get everything you can out of your workout. We don't care what time or round/rep count you write on the board, but we want it to be legit. It reflects your hard work. On our PR bell we have the definition of integrity. It is there because it is important to us. Respect that. Respect the sport of CrossFit and respect the athletes and coaches you WOD with--and respect yourself enough to count your reps and rounds right and be proud of what you actually do in the box! Read the article. Just a reminder of something that matters to a lot of people. Have a great weekend! http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/CFJ_2016_06_Cheating4.pdf

OP I agree that some vehicles are RIDICULOUSLY large, but a 4x4 diesel powered beast will be pretty fucking handy I can tell you.
I am also looking forward to cops having to burn their uniforms so they don't get lynched.
I am looking forward to that drive down my road that I will take, chainsaw in the back, about 20km outta do it... then get out and start dropping trees over the road. So if anyone is going to make it to my remote farm, they'll have done it by walking or riding a bike for a long, hilly distance. Therefore if they do make it to my front gate, they'll be begging for help, rather than armed and ready for a fight.

Former Pakistan Army Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. (retired) Shahid Aziz's recent revelation of naming four top army officers as being solely responsible for the 1999 Kargil War, is the first time that someone this senior in the military hierarchy of that time has spoken in such detail and with such frankness about the War.
The operation by Pakistani soldiers to capture strategic heights in Kargil sector in 1999 was a "four-man show" orchestrated by former army chief Gen Pervez Musharraf though then premier Nawaz Sharif was "not" kept totally in the dark, a retired general has said.
Lt Gen (retired) Shahid Aziz, who recently created ripples by acknowledging in an article that regular troops were involved in the Kargil operation, said the "misadventure" was a "four-man show" and details were initially hidden from the rest of the military commanders.
When the operation began in the spring of 1999, it was known only to Musharraf, Chief of General Staff Lt Gen Mohammad Aziz, Force Command Northern Areas chief Lt Gen Javed Hassan and 10 Corps commander Lt Gen Mahmud Ahmad, Aziz told the Dawn newspaper.
Though former premier Nawaz Sharif has for long claimed that he had no information about the Kargil operation, Aziz said information he had gathered suggested Sharif was not kept "completely in the dark".
Aziz said he was personally not aware of what information had been shared with Sharif but recalled that another general had told him that Sharif had once asked during an informal discussion: "When are you giving us Kashmir?" This suggested that Sharif was not completely in the dark, Aziz said.
The former general's remarks are the first time someone from the senior military hierarchy has spoken in detail and with frankness about the Kargil conflict, the report said.
Aziz said the operation was a "failure" and the actual figure for Pakistani casualties was still not known.

Bonds and the BFF Problem
A new rule tries to keep muni market players from getting too friendly.
The Beatles let us know that we all "get by with a little help from our friends." Those nine words from the Awesome Foursome capture the essence of the American municipal bond market. Some new developments, however, could redefine how friends help state and local governments get by in the muni market.
Like all markets, the municipal bond market is about buyers and sellers. The sellers are cities, counties, schools and other public entities that need to borrow money to build roads, bridges, hospitals and other major projects. The buyers are wealthy individuals, property-casualty insurance companies, mutual funds and others who like muni bonds for their secure, tax-free income. In concept, this market is simple and predictable.
Except that it's not. There are about a million bonds in the market. These bonds are sold by tens of thousands of governments and are backed by hundreds of different revenue streams. There is no central exchange where a buyer can go to find just the right bond. Different states apply different tax rules to the interest investors earn for holding muni bonds. For these and many other reasons, buyers and sellers work hard to find each other and even harder to agree on fair prices.
Fortunately, there are intermediaries—friends, if you will—who can help. Underwriters and financial advisers tell issuers how to design bonds that will appeal to just the right type of investors.
Investors rely on broker-dealers, brokers-brokers and other market makers to deliver the bonds they want. Issuers and investors alike depend on third-party data providers for crucial insights on market prices and dynamics.
That's why some recent regulatory changes have set the stage for a major shake-up. The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), which oversees advisers and bond dealers, is now implementing rules that redefine the roles and duties of municipal financial advisers. Perhaps the biggest effect is that a bank or other institution that offers an issuer advice leading up to a bond sale cannot buy those bonds once they're sold. This rule is designed to prevent cozy friendships from morphing into the sort of corruption we saw in places like Jefferson County, Ala. That makes sense. At the same time, small issuers who access the markets infrequently depend heavily on advisers and other friends to make sense of this complicated market. This rule might limit their access to the market expertise they need just to get by.
Meanwhile, both the MSRB and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are considering new rules to promote "pre-trade transparency." These changes apply to brokers-brokers, alternative trading systems and other intermediaries who help investors buy and sell bonds that have been out for a while (in what is known as the "secondary market"). The systems these intermediaries have developed are a bit like Craigslist for the muni market. Sellers post bonds they'd like to sell and interested buyers respond. Sometimes trades happen, but usually they don't. Either way, the information these systems collect can tell us a lot about a bond's "fair" or "actual" market price.
The SEC and MSRB are considering ways to use that information to improve the market's transparency and efficiency—a worthy objective. Investors who use these systems, however, are wondering why they should have to share such valuable information with anyone other than their closest trading friends.
With these actions, the regulators are sending a clear message. If you sell bonds, your real friends are those who work only for you. If you buy bonds, get ready to share friends-only information with the rest of the market. These changes are designed to focus accountability on buyers and sellers, and to keep friends, both well intentioned and otherwise, at arm's length.
