DirectionsShow MapHide Map
Useful information to reach Capri
You can reach Capri by ferry or hydrofoil from either Naples or Sorrento. Transportation from Naples is available either at the port of Calata Porta di Massa (only ferries) Molo Beverello and Mergellina (both only hydrofoils); however, it is much more convenient to depart from Molo Beverello because of the greater frequency of departures and larger selection of hydrofoils. The port of Calata Porta di Massa is connected with the nearby Molo Beverello with a shuttle service.
From Naples, the ferry takes about 80 minutes and costs about 9,00 EUR . The hydrofoil takes about 40 minutes and costs 16,00 EUR. From Sorrento, the ferry takes about 40 minutes and costs about 9,00 EUR, while the hydrofoil takes about 20 minutes and costs about 12,00 EUR.
There will also be a small fee for each sizeable baggage item brought on board. The baggage fee is paid at the time of ticket purchase, and you will be given a special ticket for each bag.
The schedule changes frequently; call the individual companies or the tourist office for more accurate times.
N.B. Please when you arrive in Anacapri (Piazza della pace) call us and we come to pick you up.

What you'll need:
buttons – shades of green, bright colors for decoration and a couple brown for the trunk
1. using your ruler, draw a large triangle on your canvas very lightly in pencil. This will be your guideline for gluing your buttons on your tree.
2. cover the entire inside of the triangle with lots of glue. This way the kids can just put the buttons on and not have to worry about gluing first.

4. glue some bright and colorful buttons on top of the green buttons for your decorations
5. glue a couple brown buttons on the bottom for the trunk

WELLSVILLE – The charges are piling up against one of three brothers accused last week of operating a methamphetamine lab out of the family home on Forsythe Road in Whitesville.
Timothy J. Billings, 27, was arrested again Wednesday by state police and the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force in connection and charged with one count of third-degree unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine, a felony, troopers said.
Billings, along with brothers Justin, 30, and Zackery, 23, have all been charged with drug possession counts in connection with the Forsythe Road meth operation.
Zackery and Timothy Billings were taken into custody during a routine traffic stop last week because their vehicle lacked proper headlights. Troopers said they discovered the meth lab during their follow-up investigation.

The apartment is very nice with a market and transportation service very close. The sea is nerby and that is very great.
Andreas is attentive and friendly guy.
The WiFi Connection is not bad but is not the best.
I recommend this place, do not doubt reserve.
Thanks Andreas for all.
Good Location, near a small habour and only 4 stops by tunnelbanna from Gamla Stan. (If you take the shotcut through the Wood behind the house you are at the Underground in about 5 minutes).Nice little house, everything you need for your stay, you can buy right beside the underground Station (COOP-Shop). The kitchen is well equiped and the living room is small but with a great look to the area. We enjoyed the stay very much, it was like at home but with the great connection to a marvellous city. Andreas was great, he showed us all necassary things (including washing machine, fuse-box: was very helpful for us!!). He was acquirable for us all the time, but it was not necassary. It was a comfortable relationship between guest and renter. Surely you can hear a little bit the traffic of the area, but on my opinion you have to accept this to be close to the center. But you have really no nerve-stretching neighbours. :-) The area was also very secure, we left also washed clothes outside the house and nothing was stolen. And sometimes we came home late, but all the ways were lightened up very bright. The 1. way to the house was also exactly as descriped from Andreas before arrival. So have a nice stay, as we had. :-)
It was a really nice and cozy cottage. Near downtown Stockholm. Can recommend it.
Es war ein richtig schönes und gemütliches Ferienhaus. In der Nähe der Stockholmer Innenstadt. Kann man weiterempfehlen.
Nice small house, belonging to a larger villa to Karl Bergstrand. The location was beautiful, in a wooded park within walking distance (10 minutes) from the Metro station and shops. Ideal. The cottage was not completely finished - owner was on refurbishing and the wifi barely functioned. But otherwise everything was perfect: the hot water, refrigerator, there was even a mini-washing machine.
Fijn klein huisje, behorend bij een grotere villa aan Karlsberg Strand. De ligging was mooi, in een bosachtig park op loopafstand (10 minuten) van het metrostation en winkels. Ideaal. Het huisje was nog niet helemaal afgewerkt - eigenaar was het aan het opknappen en de wifi functioneerde nauwelijks. Maar verder was alles perfect: het warme water, koelkast, er was zelfs een mini-wasmachine.
Only brief contact with the staff, uncomplicated
20 Euro for linen should be included in the price
Otherwise very clean and really had everything you need
Super centrally located and beautiful area, recommended for a Stockholm trip
Nur kurzen Kontakt mit dem Gastgeber, unkompliziert
20 Euro für Bettwäsche sollten im Preis inbegriffen sein
Ansonsten sehr sauber und hatte wirklich alles was man benötigt
Super zentral gelegen und schöne Gegend, empfehlenswert für einen Stockholm Trip
Beautiful, quiet location close to the city - 4 stops by Tunnelbahna to Central Station. Cute and expedient means in typical Swedish style, very clean. More suitable for summer. Shopping malls. Beautiful lake.
Host seems straightforward, unfortunately we had no personal contact.
20 Euro for bedding and Tüechli should be included in the price.
A few suggestions:
- In advance DIRECTIONS from subway station
- Information where the key is if there is no
- Please inform wifi access
- Set against Directions heating
- In general, a direct contact persons would be nice
Schöner, ruhiger Ort in Stadtnähe - 4 Stationen mit der Tunnelbahna nach Centralstation. Nette und zweckmässige Einrichtung im typisch schwedischen Stil, sehr sauber. Eher für Sommer geeignet. Einkaufsladen in der Nähe. Schöner See.
Gastgeber scheint unkompliziert, leider hatten wir keinen persönlichen Kontakt.
20 Euro für Bettwäsche und Tüechli sollten im Preis inbegriffen sein.
Ein paar Anregungen:
- im Voraus Wegbeschrieb ab U-Bahnstation
- Info wo der Schlüssel ist wenn niemand da ist
- Wifi-Zugang bitte mitteilen
- vor Anfahrt Heizung einstellen
- im Allgemeinen wäre ein direkter Ansprechspartner schön
We loved the stay in Stockholm! This accomodation is really lovely and comfortable. Especially the kitchen is useful, because food in the city is very expensive. Additionally the closeness to the metro station is great, so you only need about 15 minutes to the central station.
Unfortunately the internet is slowly sometimes, so you better don't need wifi.
Beautiful cottage to spend nice days in Stockholm
Schöne Hütte, um schöne Tage in Stockholm zu verbringen
The house is very special ... super friendly! The owner is very kind. The only sore point: the distance from the center and the metro!
La casetta è molto particolare...super accogliente! Il proprietario è molto gentile. Unica nota dolente: la distanza dal centro e dalla metro!
The situation in Stockholm is gut.Nur some metro stations to Zentrum.Nahe waterfront, close to the subway and you can hear Radleihstation.Allerdings depending on wind direction the nearby highway very noisy.
Our hosts we have all the time not gesehen.Schade!
The house is small enough in good weather, the square in front of yet Baustelle.Internet not working.
Overall ok in good weather for 2 people with not too high expectations
Die Lage in Stockholm ist gut.Nur einige U-Bahn-Stationen zum Zentrum.Nahe am Wasser, nahe zur U-Bahn und Radleihstation.Allerdings hört man je nach Windrichtung die nahe Autobahn sehr laut.
Unseren Gastgeber haben wir die ganze Zeit nicht gesehen.Schade!
Das Haus ist klein, bei gutem Wetter ausreichend, der Platz davor noch Baustelle.Internet funktionierte nicht.
Insgesamt bei gutem Wetter für 2 Personen mit nicht zu hohen Ansprüchen ok
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

I couldn't wait to get home and give hubby kisses, and check on my older boys as they were tucked in bed.
And I feel so ready to greet this week, a refreshed me.
Oh good for you! Gotta love those breaks.ReplyDelete
It's so nice to hear that someone else is proud to be a wife and a mother, and actually likes their husband, and children!! What a wonderful testimony you are to other young wives and mothers.ReplyDelete
im pleased you had a wonderful time with your special friends and so uplifted about it all
keep up the good work :)
Did anyone see Oprah today? It was about "Moms Around The World." I already knew that other mamas had it way worse than I, but it was a great reminder. I found myself tearing up watching this mom in AFrica walking up hills carrying loads of stuff for $.25 cents! She had a bunch of kids too! At that moment I was soooo thankful for my hubby and how he provides for our family.And despite my petty gripes, I have a really great life! (I mean, I am sitting on my butt watching Oprah and not struggling up a hill with 200 pounds of beans on my back...right?) Life is looking pretty good from where I'm sitting!LOL!ReplyDelete
AAHHHH Starbucks, and friends..who could ask for anything more?ReplyDelete
What an uplifting post! It's so nice you mentioned you all did not get together to gripe. It makes me thik of tv shows-like According to Jim and Raymond-where the wives are just constantly belittling the dads/husbands. It's sad. Not an image I want my kids to get in their heads!
Good for you that you have friends with the same appreciation.

Enroll Now!
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
This first lesson lays the groundwork for successful sales. We'll review some basic sales terminology and talk about how it relates to your profession. You'll learn about appropriateness and how it can be a powerful tool for your success. This lesson will start the new salesperson off with the right tools to succeed.
In this lesson, we'll talk about itineraries, sales call reports, and the customer database. Nothing is more important in sales than tracking your progress, your customers, and your prospects. Preparation and record keeping will keep you one step ahead of the competition. You'll also learn how to schedule follow-up calls to avoid letting potential sales pass you by.
To be successful in sales, you must learn to sell three things: Yourself, your company, and your product. In this lesson, you'll learn the importance of all of these, and you'll learn how to make them work in your favor. And no matter how good you are in sales, you will eventually experience a sales slump. You'll learn the simple steps to work through this slump and come through it in a stronger position.
If you can't communicate, you can¹t sell. That's why communication is the focus of this lesson. You will learn how to effectively communicate with your customers and prospects in order to minimize problems and maximize customer loyalty. Just as important is your communication with your own company. Stop problems before they start, and your sales will increase dramatically.
In the first four lessons, we laid out a strong foundation for your sales efforts. In this lesson, you'll learn how to develop your sales presentation. A good sales presentation can mean the difference between making the sale and going home empty-handed. Learn how to guide the prospect to placing the order by using these proven techniques.
You'll encounter seven different types of personalities during your sales career, and you'll meet them all in this lesson. Who are they? How can you identify them? How can you relate to them? Most important, how can you sell to them? In this lesson, we'll talk about how to identify which personality type you're dealing with so you can develop a unique selling strategy for each of them.
Knowing how to create an effective presentation, and how to identify the different personality types is essential knowledge. In Lesson 7, you'll learn how to apply the knowledge you gained in the previous two lessons. You'll learn how to modify your presentation to meet the expectations of each of the personality types-a recipe for success!
The ultimate goal of the salesperson is to make-or close-the sale. There are six basic types of closes, and in this lesson we'll discuss them all. More importantly, you'll learn how to put each type to use for the greatest effect.
When is an unhappy customer a great sales opportunity? All salespeople will have to deal with customer complaints at one time or another, but few know how turn a complaint into a powerful sales tool. By properly handling these complaints as they arise, you can turn a customer complaint into customer delight.
Can you negotiate a contract that pleases your customer and increases your total sales and profit? Of course! In this lesson, you'll learn the techniques of successful negotiation. There really is a win/win solution, and you'll learn how to find it in this lesson.
It may seem that your competitors are always bigger, faster, cheaper, or smarter than you are. But the fact is, they aren't. In Lesson 11, we'll discuss ways you can find out what your competition is up to and how to use this knowledge to your advantage.
In our final lesson, we'll delve into some big questions that salespeople must ask themselves. How do you deal with the customer that won't return your calls? How important are ethics in the world of sales? How do you deal with the seemingly constant rejection? We'll ask-and answer-them all in this lesson.

To anchor a stylish dinner affair, the L.A. event planner prepares a vegetarian dish of couscous pilaf with roasted pistachios and cranberries.
"It couldn't be easier to prepare," she says. "You can put it out warm or serve it at room temperature and it's fine."
Like a great actress, the dish is also a chameleon – capable of taking on a variety of flavors, depending on what you add to it. "I'll add a little cinnamon or caramelized onions or pistachios for crunch," says Oren. "You can also add seasonal ingredients, like cranberries." And like a great party guest, "It's an easy thing to add into the mix. Always."
Oren suggests serving the couscous in a stylish bowl and setting a buffet table with natural elements: lush green potted plants, white flowers and birch wood pieces. The look is "rustic chic with a touch of winter. It's a fresh, organic approach to the holidays."
Lisa Romerein
Couscous Pilaf with Roasted Pistachios & CranberriesMakes 6 generous servings
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1¼ cups water
2 tbsp. olive oil
½ cups chopped shallots
2 cups couscous
½ cup pistachio nuts, shelled and roasted
¾ cup dried cranberries
1. Bring broth and water to a boil in a small saucepan.
2. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft, 3 minutes. Stir in couscous.
3. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Add pistachios and cranberries, and fluff with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste.

|Chef Laurent Quenioux at Starry Kitchen
I'd like to take a quick break from my recent Taiwan Beef Noodle Tour posts for something interesting that's coming to Downtown Los Angeles. As some of you may know, Laurent Quenioux was the former executive chef and owner of the recently shuttered Bistro LQ. What you may also know is that he's recently taken the helm of Vertical Wine Bistro in Pasadena. However, what you may not know is that Chef Quenioux will be starting a pop-up venture of his own at the Downtown eatery, Starry Kitchen. The upcoming 5 course prix fixe dinner will be priced at $45/person (excluding tax and gratuity).
|Laurent at Work (Picture courtesy of DJJewelz)
I've had the privilege of dining at Bistro LQ awhile back, and even though I've yet posted that dinner due to my laziness, I was very impressed by experience there. After receiving an invitation to try his yet to be opened pop-up venture, I quickly booked a seating.
|Bread Basket from Bread Lounge
At the start of our meal, we were presented with a bread basket from Bread Lounge and olive oil. Even though I was saving room for the main courses, I managed to take down two pieces of bread.
|Amuse: Escamoles (Ant Eggs)
Yes, you read it right, we were first served escamoles, or ant eggs in English. Before I get the "ewww" or "that's gross" comments, you really need to try it before judging the ingredient. Personally, I'm no fan of bugs, dead or alive. However, after trying fried grasshoppers in Tijuana and also here in Los Angeles, I've became more open to them. The flavors of the ant eggs were quite subtle, as it was actually accented by the lime and cilantro flavors used in the mini "taco." We were actually also given a shot of Sapporo beer to wash everything down. I really wanted seconds of these little buggers! (Yes, that was a bit lame, LOL)
|1. Oxtail compote, Pickled spring vegetables, Mustard Tapioca
(Paired with 2007 Raventos i Blanc "de Nit" Cava, Spain)
The first course was oxtail, which is one of my favorite proteins, though it does seem I have a lot of favorites. Anyways, the oxtail was cooked perfectly. Tender, flavorful, it was quite delicious by itself. Though I'm not sure if the use of the pickled vegetables were necessary for this particular dish. I was hoping for some sort of starch, like potatoes. I guess I'm just a meat and potato kinda guy.
|2. Tai snapper, Citruses, Zucchini, Tomatoes, Kohlrabi, Smoked black sea salts
(Paired with 2010 Francois Chidaine Touraine Rosé, France)
Truthfully, when I first saw the menu, I wasn't too interested in this course. While I like snapper, I didn't think any of the ingredients stood out, but boy, I was mistaken. First and foremost, the snapper itself was cooked pefectly. Tender, moist, and fork tender. I really liked the uses of the lime and tangerines in this dish, it provided the necessary acidity needed to go along with the fish. The smoked black salt added an interesting, and tasty component to this course. I really enjoyed this one.
|3. Teriyaki rabbit albondigas, Teriyaki foie gras, Miso, Green Garlic tempura
(Paired with 2010 LIOCO Indica Rosé, California)
This was my favorite course of the night. Rabbit, foie gras, and fried vegetable tempura? Yes, please! I really enjoyed the combination of the rabbit "meatball" and the well cooked piece of foie gras. The added touch of the fried vegetable tempura and the miso sauce elevated this dish to the top. "Winner winner rabbit dinner!"
|4. Veal sweetbreads, Morels, Chanterelles, Shishito peppers, Yuzu kosho
(Paired with 2000 Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Rosado, Spain)
It must have been my lucky night, as sweetbread was on the menu. No, this wasn't some sort of sweet fried dough. Sweetbread is usually the thymus of a calf. I liked the use of the morels and the chanterelles in this dish. The sweetbread was fried, much similar to a fried chicken, but better. I personally didn't think the use of the shishito peppers were necessary, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
|5. Chocolate chipotle mousse, Lime serrano gel, Cinnamon soil
(Paired with NV Terres Dorées FRV100, France)
Ah, my arch nemesis: the fried dough, in this case, a churro was used. However, I believe the churro was quite vital in this dish. The chocolate chipotle mousse was quite nice and definitely packed a punch. I needed the churro to balance the flavors out a bit. The addition of lime was quite pleasant. This dessert definitely had a Mexican influence. I quite enjoyed this dessert.
|Nguyen, Owner of Starry Kitchen
In my opinion, this dinner was quite a success. Although I had an idea what to expect going into this meal, Chef Quenioux exceeded my expectations. I liked the balance of flavors in his dishes, and I enjoyed his use of various Asian and Mexican flavors to enhance his French techniques.
A few housekeeping items: While the pop-up doesn't officially start until Sunday June 5th, I was excited to try this dinner before it officially commence (though just a note, this was not a hosted meal). The planned time for this run will be for the next 3 to 6 months, from Sunday to Tuesday nights, every other week.
Although all the wine from this particular dinner was paired by Domaine LA, Starry Kitchen does not have an alcohol license, thus, there will not be any optional wine pairing offered during the course of this run. If you would like to add any type of alcoholic beverage to your meal, you'll have to do it a la Wolvesmouth or Ludobites. If you need more hints than that, please feel free to email me or contact me on Twitter. If you need more information about this upcoming pop-up, I'd recommend for you to follow Chef Quenious on twitter.
My final word of advice, since this is a limited run, seating may be limited, thus, I'd suggest for you to book your reservation ASAP!

Life's A Beach
38 comments:
Ah, yes. I love me an air-conditioned cabana on the beach. ;)ReplyDelete
What I would give to live close to the beach!! Ahhh...ReplyDelete
Except when you live in San Francisco and the water at Ocean Beach is always one degree warmer than Freezing! LOL I have the beach about 10 minutes from us but you have to bundle up for skiing if you want to go.ReplyDelete
Oh, we LIVE at the beach on the hot days of summer :) Taylor and Noah should have been born with gills, I think :)ReplyDelete
(in case it doesn't tell u who this was, cuz I came here thru twitter this time!)
This Kansas native loves her some beach-y time. Good thing I moved to the coast. Now, I can be on the sand in just under 3 hours.ReplyDelete
A whole day at the beach? I could spend EVERY day at the beach! Too bad I'm at least a day's drive away. So we settle for the pool...ReplyDelete
I LOVE the beach. Most of my best memories take place at the beach. We used to live 15min from a really beautiful one. I miss it since we've moved.ReplyDelete
Great picture!
So true. I used to get bored after an hour or two. But now that I have a child? Yeah, I get it.ReplyDelete
Today was a great day for the beach, too. Beautiful weather!
We spent a good time today at the beach too, and the waves were crazy! We, mostly Brent and me, had so much fun in those waves!ReplyDelete
I love the beach too! And what a great photo! Glad you guys had fun!ReplyDelete
Now you see why I love the beach so much. Life IS a Beach!ReplyDelete
What a sweet picture! I can't wait to take our kids back to the beach, but we're waiting until school starts when it will be cooler (TX is HOT!), less crowded, and our house will be finished.ReplyDelete
Dig your feet into the sand. Lay in a lounger and relax. Listen to the waves. Feel the sun on your face. Drink an ice cold tea. Lay in the sun until you're so hot you can't take it and then run into the freezing cold water. Play frisbee. I LOVE THE BEACH!ReplyDelete
Cute pic! My boys LOVE the beach, just love it!ReplyDelete
looks like a blast!ReplyDelete
Looks like a fun day. We're hoping to get a beach day in soon. (We have to. Summer's almost over!)ReplyDelete
The beach--it is awesome. Boogey boarding, knee boarding, body surfing, chilling in a chair or reading a book on your towel, munching on sandy pretzels or drinking from a soda can with sand around the bottom. Awesome, I tell you.ReplyDelete
--the girl who lives AT the beach and yet, due to two small kiddos, has not been at all this summer. :tears:
I have read a lot about going to the beach today on different blogs...I really need to go to one eventually!ReplyDelete
It makes me excited to go because I have never been to one before.
oohhhh looks like fun.ReplyDelete
I could spend my whole LIFE at the beach. :)ReplyDelete
Going to the beach is my very favorite thing to do. When I can go by myself, that is, and bring along a stack of good books a nice lounge chair.ReplyDelete
Not a huge fan of the beach at all. Maybe it's because I don't like the sand. Or the salt water. Or the sun.ReplyDelete
But we're taking Woggie for the first time in the Fall... I'm sure it'll have a whole new meaning after that!
Give me a beaCH ANY day.ReplyDelete
I totally can stay out there all day long and have been before....its awesome.ReplyDelete
There is nothing like a day at the beach. Glad you had a good time!ReplyDelete
Isn't Lake MI amazing...We just spent a week at the beach with the kids and there is just nothing like it!ReplyDelete
So much fun. I am missing the beach right now :) Glad you all had a blast!!ReplyDelete
Man, I miss the beach. Lake Michigan is so much better than Lake Erie, at least where we're at now. I miss the sand dunes too! Great picture - looks like so much fun. I am definitely a beach bum at heart.ReplyDelete
It took you this long to get it? hee hee I love the beach! And the pool. Much more fun as a kid but I still love it. I mostly love getting a sea doo or speed boat and going out on the lake! YES! lolReplyDelete
I can't live without easy access to water. Hence, I've lived in Minnesota and San Diego. I spend at least half of my summer days at the beach.ReplyDelete
absolutely love the beach! So glad you had fun!ReplyDelete
I've always been a beach bum. My 3 1/2 year old just went surfing with her Daddy for the first time this morning. It was so obvious that it is in her blood too! Happy to here you get it!ReplyDelete
We love the beach. That is one thing I will miss when we move away. We just did a family day there on Saturday. I didn't post about it because I don't think everyone else gets as excited about my beach days as I do and I had already done one beach post last week. I'm glad you enjoyed it.ReplyDelete
We just hit the New Buffalo beach for the day last week and it was wonderful. Until it got too hot. My daughter hates being "dirty" so we had to overcome that hurdle, but everyone finally left happily with bribes of chicken nuggets at McDonald's. Wish I could squeeze in one more beach trip before school starts, but I don't think that will happen!ReplyDelete
I get it now with a child, too. I never really got it before. I wish we had a cool beach CLOSER!!! Beautiful pic, girlie!!ReplyDelete
I can stand about 20 minutes at the beach, sadly....ReplyDelete
I LOVE the beach! Living so close, you'd think I'd get there more often. We've only been once this summer. We'll probably go more in the fall after most of the tourists leave ;-)ReplyDelete
oh how I love living near the beach now. :)ReplyDelete

4 Situations Where We've All Agreed to Act Like Dicks
#2. The Internet
Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images
The Internet is the final frontier for humanity, the last undiscovered realm of mystery. It's a place where we can be constantly surprised by the things other humans fit in their bum, amazed by the level of stupidity someone must possess to ask a question on Yahoo Answers while still possessing the apparent motor coordination to type said stupid question, and in awe of how we must necessarily be constantly within spitting distance of racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-American, pro-American, angry, sexually frustrated, cockless a-holes. Because they're literally on every message board on the Internet. They're everywhere.
The breadth of uncouth loutishness displayed online would never, ever exist anywhere else. Look at this shit right here:
"Seriously your writing style suck also does your mother but thats not the case, you're a stupid git and thanks to you I think abortion is a good idea, it's a shame it wasn't legal when you were a fetus."
This message was sent to a Cracked writer after one of his articles was published to the site (not me -- people tell me they wish I could still be aborted today). Let's analyze this. I'll put my unitard back on and we'll roleplay.
You're a young man about town with a fragile grasp of English and half a boner for some comedy. You fire up the old computrix machinima and log your Googles into the DOS and access the domain Cracked.com, whereupon you read a comedy article -- "The 7 Most Masturbating Homeless Fellows at the Train Yard," or whatever it may be. You read the whole article and decide at the end that it was not to your liking. It was so not to your liking that perhaps the world would have been better if the author of that article had been aborted some 20+ years ago. What kind of person does that make you exactly? And moreover, where else would you ever react in this manner?
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"I was the second most masturbating homeless fellow. This sticky box is all I have. This and my penis."
Now I want you to imagine it's summer. You're outside, maybe it's an outdoor market or festival of some kind. There are hundreds of others about, browsing the wares and enjoying some outdoor entertainers -- magicians and jugglers and musicians. You approach a young fiddle player who stands on a corner with a crowd around him. He plays a song you've never heard before, it's his own original work, and most of the crowd seems to enjoy it. You, however, do not. So you stand in front of this fiddle player as he finishes, and people toss loose change into his case, and you cock your head in confusion and say out loud, for all to hear, "Holy fuck, that sucked. You play fiddle like my balls do algebra. I wish your mother had fallen down an elevator shaft when she was pregnant with you, you play like a severed penis thrown upon an instrument in need of tuning while it twitches with nerves and produces squawks and caterwauls to assault the ears of all passersby with brain AIDS. I curse you and your family line for the suffering you have wrought today, and I hope you develop a strain of super herpes that actually dissolves you to your very soul, you terrible, musically derptarded monster."
That example barely even qualifies as hyperbole. Can you imagine an instance anywhere else in life when you might, when presented with free entertainment that you went out of your way to experience, find said entertainment to be not to your liking and therefore engage in a verbal tirade that could and often will encompass racism, sexism, homophobia, death threats, and overwrought personal hatred and insult? Do these people go to the library and scream "Cunt!" at the works of Shakespeare? Do they go to parties and shit in the punch bowl when the music isn't to their liking? Run screaming and enraged down the street during rainstorms with their dick in their hand, pissing back at nature?
#1. Protests and Rallies
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
I was born without the gland in my asshole that makes me care what your political affiliation is, so this entry isn't meant to be partisan in any way. Morons should offend us all, not just those of us who vote the same way the morons do, or those who vote against them. Morons unify the rest of us in our disgust at morons. Remember that.
That said, I need you to look at this photo taken in 2010 at a protest of the mosque being built at Ground Zero. Really look at it.
That's a heavily tattooed General Custer who appears to have a right hand covered in full-finger rings, knuckle tattoos, a face tattoo on his left side, and a Confederate Flag shirt and pin. I am not going to come out and say that this man is a rabidly insane racist in his day-to-day life because Brad Paisley and LL Cool J already established that he's just a Skynyrd fan, but I will say, if I may be completely and baselessly judgmental, protesting a mosque is like having a second Christmas for a guy like this. Now look here!
The Australian via Inquisitr.com
This man feels that, if you insult his religion in some way, you're no longer deserving of a head. He has joined a protest of like-minded individuals and taken to the streets with a piece of cardboard and a Sharpie to let us know that his religion deserves respect or, at the very least, severed heads.
Mr. Skynyrd and Mr. Headless here probably both thought themselves endlessly clever and justified in their protesting at the time these pics were taken, but what if I were to pose the following question: Dude, what the fuck?
Does Skynyrd ever wander around Manhattan dressed like that making clever mosque puns the rest of the year? Is Johnny Beardo requesting the heads of everyone who laughs at South Park in the lounge of his dorm? Let's hope not, because that makes him a real dick and he'll probably get reported for having a hot plate to cook ramen in his room. What a fuckstick.
Despite how unlikely it is that most of us will champion the cause of decapitation or parade about like a Southern Discipline Daddy General against Islam in our regular, day-to-day lives, you announce there's a rally or protest going on and BAM, total fuckery starts oozing out of people's pores like they had it jammed in their asses with a hydraulic grease gun until their breath stinks of it.
The very idea of a protest or a rally is that there is some issue that to you is so important, whether bad or good, that your support, your physical presence is paramount to bringing to light the injustice you are so opposed to or the cause you so dearly support. And somehow involving the rebel flag and decapitation in that is a little fucky. You're cheapening your goal and your purpose with thoughtless douchebaggery because you want to stand out in a sea of assholes as the most puckered, the most in need of a wet wipe, the most hectored by the bane of incurable warts and 'roids.
If a protest or a rally was like a date, and the desired outcome was third base, those dudes basically pulled the dating equivalent of ordering for their lady friend at the restaurant and explaining to the waiter it's because she's fat and needs someone to look out for her.

The farm bill passed through the Senate last night
The farm bill passed through the Senate last night
With approval by the Senate, more pressure is now placed on the House to reach an agreement on the farm bill yet this summer.
by Abby (Huibregtse) Bauer, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
On Monday evening, the farm bill passed through the Senate by a bipartisan 66-27 vote.
The $955 billion bill is very similar to the one approved by the Senate just a few weeks shy of a year ago, on June 21, 2012. For dairy, one major component is the Dairy Security Act (DSA), including a voluntary margin insurance program that would allow farmers to better manage the risks of milk price and feed cost volatility. To learn more about how the DSA could affect you, read our blog, "How would the Dairy Security Act impact your dairy?"
The bill would also include a market stabilization plan to improve cost-effectiveness of the DSA, which would help both farmers and taxpayers. The approved bill does not include MILC, price support or dairy export incentive programs that were a part of the previous farm bill.
Last year's bill contained 42 amendments. Two weeks of debates on the Senate floor this year added 14 more amendments to the current bill.
Passing through the Senate is a pivotal step for the farm bill, but the biggest challenge may still lie ahead. The Republican-led House of Representatives is expected to begin floor consideration of the farm bill next week. It was at this point that last year's proposed bill got stalled and eventually stopped because the House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) didn't bring the bill to the House floor.
In regards to the upcoming debate, Boehner said, "I had concerns about some of the dairy provisions of the farm bill last year, and those concerns remain this year. I oppose those provisions and will support efforts on the House floor to change them appropriately. And I encourage other members of the House to approach this process in the same spirit … Let's have the debate, and let's vote on them."
Those dairy provisions include Boehner's objection to the market stabilization component of the DSA. The House Ag Committee voted down the Goodlatte-Scott Amendment by a 20 to 26 vote in May. That amendment would have stripped out the market stabilization component of the bill. Many observers believe that amendment will be offered up again on the House floor this June.
It will likely take time and much debate, as everything from agriculture to food assistance programs needs to be discussed. However, a new farm bill has not been passed since 2008, and the extension of the current farm bill expires on September 30. Those in agriculture will remain hopeful that the new five-year farm bill could be brought to the President before the August recess and finally bring some answers and stability to dairy producers and all agriculturalists.

on November 5, 2012 - 4:12 PM
InLighten, a digital media communications company in Clarence, has agreed to acquire land from National Fuel Gas Co. for possible future expansion.
The company is buying 2.4 acres next to its headquarters at 9645 Wehrle Drive, said David Saleh, vice president of new business ventures and general counsel. The sale price was not disclosed; the deal is expected to close in the next 45 days.
InLighten has not yet decided specifically how to use the additional property, which is just east of the facility, Saleh said. "It is to make sure it is available when we are ready."
InLighten moved to Clarence from Depew in early 2011, after acquiring a 45,000 square foot building that Greatbatch Inc. had leased for its headquarters. The offices are east of Gunnville Road, and just north of Dunn Tire Raceway Park.
InLighten has about 70 employees and said it expects to increase its work force by about 20 percent in the next 18 to 24 months. The company's digital media lineup includes signage and self-service kiosks.
Location is one of the company's assets, said Dan Snyder, InLighten's president and chief executive officer.
"It's convenient for both air and ground travel and the Clarence community is very attractive to the highly skilled professionals we seek to recruit," he said in a statement.
InLighten has just relocated two software professionals from the New York City metro area for its newly formed Android development unit, "and the community and surrounding amenities played an important role in their decision to join us," Snyder said.

The Countdown is On
The official start of summer is about nine days away and now - maybe someone needs to let Mother Nature in on the fact.
The official start of summer is nine days away. Could someone please get that message to Mother Nature? I think she's jumped the gun a smig.
Our afternoon highs certainly aren't breaking records, but it's getting dangerously hot out there. Today the River Valley will warm into the mid 90s while NW Arkansas will climb into the lower 90s. And watch out! When those afternoon highs mix with the infamous Arkansas humidity - our heat index values are likely to climb above 100.
We're not the only ones feeling the "heat". Temperatures will be climbing into the mid and upper 90s throughout the mid-south and southwest both today and tomorrow.

Although people from Mercer Island, mainly teenagers, are known as stuck up, rich, white people most are not. In fact they are some of the nicest people I have ever met and they get a great education. Although the football team sucks, they pwn everyone at every other sport, except baseball and basketball. state champs in Golf, Swimming, Water Polo (mens and womens), lacrosse (mens and womens), and runner up in gymnastics. who can have 6 champion teams in one year, not bellevue. Also, there are many great bands that are from Mercer Island like Oceans in Oblivion, Left at the Castle, Left Lane, Mercury and used to be I-90. One more thing, not everybody is rich.
Mercer Island pwns Bellevue.

A very stereotyped place with a lot of rich people, but a lot of them are still really nice. Not all who live on Mercer Island are rich and not all are spoiled.

Mercer Island is about 13 miles around and wedged in the lake in between the Seattle area and the Bellevue area. Most notoriously known for its monetary stature, a very large portion of the island it very middle class, but has many wealthy families as well. The high school (MIHS) has a deep rivalry against Bellevue, and each have their own bragging rights. Where Mercer Island boasts over 95% over of their graduating student going onto college, superior academic standards and an average of 3-7 state titles per year, Bellevue has a dynasty football team and.... the pancake corral which they feel compelled to yell at the Islanders during games for lack of a better phrase.
Bellevue: Pancake Corral!!

An island in proximity to Seattle, Bellevue, and many other Western Washington cities. While rumored to be a stuck-up, rich community, it actually is filled with nice, oftentimes middle-class families. It just goes to show that stereotypes are not always accurate. In fact, more often than not, they are far from it.
And football teams aren't the sole factor in determining a school's greatness. For those of you who do not know.

Surgery for Kaposi Sarcoma
Kaposi sarcoma is a type of cancer in which abnormal cells grow under the skin and in the lining of tissues, causing dark purple spots or lesions. Classic Kaposi sarcoma used to be a rare disease that affected mostly middle-aged men of Mediterranean and Jewish descent. Another type strikes people with a weakened immune system. During the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Kaposi sarcoma became one of the first visible signs that someone had that disease.
Because of their appearance, the lesions of Kaposi sarcoma may take an emotional as well as a physical toll. The cancer can also cause significant disability and even death. Your doctors will recommend how to treat the cancer based on your overall health and immune function, and the size, number, and locations of the lesions. When patients have an immune system that is functioning well, surgery is often recommended as a treatment for surface lesions.
Surgery to treat Kaposi sarcoma
Surgery works best if the cancer is confined to one area or a few specific places. The goal of surgery is to remove the existing cancer cells and, sometimes, nearby cells.
Surgeons use several options to remove Kaposi sarcomas:
Electrodessication and curettage. The surgeon uses a small surgical instrument called a curette to take out the cancer, then delivers electrical pulses through a tiny needle to the edges of the wound to stop the bleeding and kill any remaining cancer cells.
Freezing (cryotherapy). This procedure uses a specialized tool to freeze Kaposi sarcoma cells and tissue, which are then removed.
Local excision. This technique involves cutting the Kaposi sarcoma lesions out of your skin along with a small amount of tissue surrounding the cancer.
Before you undergo any of these options, your doctor will give you specific instructions for the day of the surgery. In general, you should avoid alcohol at least 24 hours beforehand, and if you smoke, you may need to stop up to two weeks in advance. As part of the prep work, you'll be asked if you have any allergies to certain medications or to latex, and to list the names of all the drugs and supplements you're taking. You may need to stop some or all of them before the surgery. Be sure to leave jewelry and any other valuables at home on the day of your surgery.
Other approaches
Other types of treatment that might be recommended along with or as an alternative to surgery are:
HIV/AIDS therapies. If you have HIV, treatments that help your immune system can also fight Kaposi sarcoma.
Radiation. Radiation therapy can kill cancer cells in the layers of the skin without harming deeper tissues, so it may be recommended for the treatment of some lesions.
Chemotherapy. Some anticancer drugs are taken orally and fight cancer throughout the body while others can be injected directly into the Kaposi sarcoma lesions or applied as a cream or gel.
Biological agents. Some medications use your body's immune system to fight Kaposi's sarcoma.
Depending on your doctor's recommendations and your situation, you might want to think about joining a Kaposi sarcoma clinical trial for treatment. Ask your doctor if there are any for which you might be eligible.
The surgery may get rid of your cancer completely, but there is a chance it may recur. Over the long term, you will need to follow up with your doctors to make sure your cancer has not come back. Make sure you understand when to go back to the doctor, both immediately after surgery and in the months and years that follow. The American Cancer Society recommends that you avoid smoking.

amurphy@ sungazette.com
Thank goodness I promised you I would write about the other people insane enough to do NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in the area.
To everyone who has been asking about my novel, thank you so much! Unfortunately, I haven't made as much progress as I wanted, so when you ask, I blush and feel guilty when I can't give you a crazy high number.
That's probably a good thing. Maybe it makes me write more. Keep doing that so I don't give up!
Regardless, one of the reasons I love NaNoWriMo is because we're given a task: write an average of 1,667 words a day in November so at the end of the month you have a 50,000-word novel. There aren't many rules, so the novels generated are completely different.
I posted on the website and asked some of the other writers to tell me about their novels for my column. These people were nice enough to share some information with me. They were allowed to share as much or as little as they wanted.
Kristina Solomon, of Williamsport, is participating in NaNoWrimo for the fifth time.
She's writing a fantasy and subverted fairy tale retelling. She's been developing the idea since February. As of Nov. 11, she's written 15,268 words, so apparently that development has worked for her.
The biggest challenge she expects to hurt her word count is that one of her previous books is in the back of her mind, wanting her to edit it.
She also is worried that it might not be as funny as people will expect it to be. I would say that I'm sure she'll have no problem with that, but I guess that would be putting even more pressure on her, so I'll just say good luck!
She summed up how crucial it is to have people cheering you on when I asked people about their books, "Nano, for me, is as much about the local people as it is about actually writing the book," she wrote on the forums. "I moved here last year and, even though I'd done Nano before, I hadn't had a local regional group, so I was really excited when I found out there was a group for Williamsport. I came to the first meeting last year and ended up making a lot of new friends."
Having that encouragement of people going through the same torture who know you can do it - even when you don't know it - makes the task so much easier.
Kristie Kiessling, of Mansfield, started doing NaNoWriMo in 2006. She didn't win, which means writing that 50,000th word, that first year, but she's won every year since.
Her story is a fantasy sequel. As of Nov. 11, she wrote 18,854 words, which is coming up to the number she finds to be so challenging.
"That 30,000-mark is a tough one, but once over that hump, the rest seems to coagulate into one giant word lump with outrageous plot holes," she wrote on the forum.
With a distracting family and an even more distracting social media, she still finds time to write.
Jeanie, who lives near Lewisburg, is taking on NaNoWriMo the first time this year by writing a literary novel about a woman who spends a decade in coma. Jeanie has written 4,367 words so far.
And last but not least, is Kyra, a Danville resident who attends Lock Haven University.
Like me, Kyra's also doing a superhero story. Even though at its most basic they're the same, they're actually completely different.
In hers, the story is about a young woman who is trying to stay out of the caped community, but circumstances are dragging her into it.
This is her fourth year doing NaNoWriMo. She wanted to write that story because both of the times she won NaNoWriMo, they were about powered individuals.
Her biggest challenge so far has been working on a timeline and not rushing into the parts she really wants to write. She has to keep stopping herself from jumping to those scenes so she doesn't end before she reaches 50,000.
Even though you haven't asked me, I'll answer what happens if you finish your novel before you reach 50,000 words.
Death. No, not really! People will try to encourage you to add a couple more scenes so you can reach it, but NaNoWriMo is all about finishing that novel. If you do it in 25,000 words, great. If you do it in 500,000 words, great. It's all about writing.
And in the last few paragraphs, I'll shove my progress. Don't judge me too harshly. I'm at 21,725 words, losing that wide gap I had for myself.
It's getting harder to write daily, but I don't know if it's because that warm, special glow of "Oooh, I'm writing a novel!" has faded or if it's because I've stopped plotting.
Lucky, I have my wonderful readers constantly asking me about my novel, which makes me think, "Alyssa, you probably should do some writing soon so you're not at the same word count next time they ask."
As always, feel free to add me on Twitter at @MurphyAlyssa for my latest NaNoWriMo updates or harass me about all of the days I haven't written.
Until next week, happy writing!

Excellent Product

I use Endurox R4 before, during and after exercise.It is the only product I use on long hikes, runs and bike rides that doesn't upset my stomach.
Excellent product.
By Crow
I have used Endurox R-4 for many many years. It is my recovery drink and also I use it in my water bottles during rides or runs. Great taste and gives me the calories I need.

Endurox R4
By Talyn1

I've used Endurox R4 for years. It works well for me mixed with whey protein for post-ride recovery.
Not bad but I think I prefer ClifShot orange mango
By JohnK
from Folsom, CA
About Me Competitive Cyclist
I've been using ClifShot Protein Recovery in the orange mango flavor and it's pretty good stuff. Has kind of a smooth, orange flavor with no bitter aftertaste and no chalky residue. Decided I'd give the Endurox R4 tangy orange a try. Tangy it is. Tastes alot like room temperature orange juice. I think I like the taste of the ClifShot orange mango better. Not alot of difference in the ingredients that I can tell. I also can't say that I notice any difference in my ability to recover using ClifShot vs Endurox. In the future I'd probably go back to the ClifShot orange mango simply because I prefer the flavor.
By Living The Dream
from Colorado
Seems to work well but difficult to really know for sure. Even so, psychologically i feel that it helps recovery so that is a plus. Not chalky or gritty. I use it after every ride.
Works For Me
By bikermgj
from Alabama
I have used this product for over 10 years. Rarely ever get sore and only seldom tired. I once rode 70 days in a row using this.
Getting too expinsive
By Doug the cyclist
from Auburn, CA.
With the cost Nashbar charges for shipping, and the transfer at the last minute from UPS to USPS, I can get this product faster and cheaper at my local Bike shop. Will not likely purchase again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Made a Real Difference
By mikiek
from Rolling hills - Texas
After nearly passing out an hour after my first long distance ride I knew this old Clydesdale was going to need some help. I knew it was just a low energy problem even though I had eaten some gels and was well hydrated.I'm VERY skeptical of this type of product. They all make big claims and I wonder how much actual science is behind it.A month later, I just did a much longer ride, did the 12oz serving immediately afterwards and the difference is like night & day. Short term, my energy level was much better, I even did a few other activities after the ride. Longer term, a little minor soreness but no big deal. Very impressive.The flavor was ok. It's hard to get the powder to completely dissolve but it wasn't really gritty.I'll be looking into these guys "during workout" product for sure.

Billie Joe Armstrong Leads 'American Idiot' To Record Box-Office Numbers
Green Day frontman's weeklong stint resulted in Broadway musical's highest ticket sales to date.
He already wowed the critics, or us anyway, and now Billie Joe Armstrong has wowed Broadway pundits, too — they used the word "boffo," which is always a good sign — as his weeklong stint as St. Jimmy in the "American Idiot" musical led to record receipts for the six-month-old production.
According to Variety, "Idiot" raked in nearly $1.1 million in ticket sales last week — up $600,000 from the previous week — a new

Hi Doug,
Just wondered if you had heard of the above place? It is mentioned on a 'stone here in Bedlington, Northumberland, England, but I can find no reference to such a place. Two brothers die there in the 1870's who were probably coal miners. SE Northumberland was a coal mining area at the time.
Kind regards,

Ivan Horn Cammack
There is a copy on Ancestry.com of a document from Honduras indicating Ivan H Cammack died and was buried in Honduras.
'Reports of Deaths of American Citizens Abroad, 1835-1974' gives the particulars regarding notification of family members and the location of his burial.
It is possible that his name was simply entered into the CA cemetery records or perhaps that his remains were actually transferred there.

Linnie Dell Lee 1st marriage
I wasn't aware that Linnie had been married before Nira Gill. I'm actually shocked. I cannot find any record regarding this, but would like to have a source that's not a "word of mouth." My records have only listed her with Nira Gill. According to the Find A Grave pages, she and Charles Millard Hobbs wasn't married very long. Other than a trip to Iowa, is there anyone out there that could do a lookup on the Court House records for a divorce record, also a marriage record for her and Nira. My records state her and Nira were married 03 Jul 1906, but now I'm finding it's just from someone else's records.
Thanks to all the volunteers who do such a wonderful service to the rest of us.

If all goes well Niagara will be celebrating a MAAC regular-season championship on Monteagle Ridge this weekend.
And if the Purple Eagles stumble? Well, there might be room for error.
Here's how the postseason tournament picture sizes up as the Big 4 regular-season schedules near their conclusion:
Current standing: First in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Best-case scenario: Wins over Rider (16-13, 10-6) and Saint Peter's (9-18, 3-13) at home would lock up the regular-season title and guarantee the Purple Eagles no worse than a bid in the NIT. They could get away with winning one of their final two so long as Loyola (Md.) does no better than a split in its final two (at Iona on Friday and home to Manhattan on Sunday).
Worst-case scenario: Even with two defeats Niagara can fall to no worse than third in the final standings.
Most likely scenario: Purple Eagles win a pair and the crown. The final game might even prove inconsequential. If Niagara beats Rider at Taps on Thursday and Loyola loses at Iona on Friday night, the race is over.
Update: Sophomore Juan'ya Green is one of 25 finalists for the Lou Henson National Mid-Major Player of the Year Award. The only other sophomore among the finalists is BYU's Tyler Haws. There are no freshmen.
Current standing: Tied for third in MAAC.
Best-case scenario: Although highly unlikely, Griffs still could capture the conference regular-season title based on an intricate set of tiebreakers. They'd have to beat Saint Peter's on Thursday and Rider on Saturday in home games, have Niagara lose two and Loyola (20-9, 11-5) drop one just to get into the conversation.
Worst-case scenario: Right now Manhattan, at 8-8 in conference, is headed for one of the two first-round MAAC Tournament games. Let's just put it this way: Canisius doesn't want to drop a pair and open the door even a hair.
Most likely scenario: Rider game should tell the tale. Beat the Broncs and Canisius should finish top three and likely create the possibility of an all-WNY MAAC final.
Update: Junior Billy Baron joins Niagara's Green as one of 25 finalists for the Henson Award. Jordan Heath is listed as day-to-day after spraining an ankle in the BracketBuster loss at Vermont on Saturday.
Current standing: 12th in Atlantic 10. Twelve of the 16 teams qualify for conference tournament.
Best-case scenario: Hold a 1½-game lead over Dayton with three games remaining – home to Charlotte (18-8, 6-6) on Saturday, at Dayton (14-12, 4-8) and home to Fordham (6-22, 2-11). Two wins should be enough to get Bonnies into A-10 tourney with anywhere from an eighth- to 12th-place finish.
Worst-case scenario: Losses in two of the three — especially if one of them is at Dayton - could cause problems.
Most likely scenario: Bonnies are sitting in a favorable position and, with four teams above them at 6-6, there's opportunity to move up and improve seeding. It doesn't hurt that Charlotte recently suspended guard and scoring leader DeMario Mayfield for the season for a violation of team rules — his third misstep in two years.
Current standing: Fourth in the Mid-American Conference overall standing among postseason-eligible teams. Top five finishers receive byes to Cleveland portion of MAC Tournament. The 6-7-8 finishers host first-round games on campus sites.
Best-case scenario: A top-four finish, which would give Bulls a bye into the quarterfinals.
Worst-case scenario: Could fall into bottom three and play a first-round campus road game but the more reasonable worst-case would have them at home in the first round.
Most likely scenario: With four games remaining the variables abound. Bulls are at Kent State (15-12, 5-7) on Wednesday, home to Akron (22-4, 12-0) and Ohio U. (20-7, 11-1) after that and finish the season at Bowling Green (11-16, 5-7). Loss at Kent would pull Golden Flashes even in standings and give them tiebreaker advantage for season sweep.
Update: Akron puts the nation's longest winning streak on the line at Ohio U. on Wednesday. If Zips survive they'll hit Alumni Arena on Saturday night looking for No. 20.
Senior surge
BN Big 4 Player of the Week: Bonnies coach Mark Schmidt places a premium on the defensive side of the game, a big reason why 5-foot-10 senior Eric Mosley found himself splitting time with Charlon Kloof at the point. As Mosley evolved into a better defender his minutes increased, and with that his offensive production has gone through the roof.
Mosley dumped 39 points on Massachusetts (the most points by a Bonnie in A-10 play), followed up with 16 at Duquesne and is averaging 24.2 over the last five games. In the two games last week he went 17 of 28 from the field, 7 of 14 from three-point land and totaled six assists and five steals. He also was named A-10 Player of the Week.
Women's outlook
Current standing: Tied with Rider for fourth in the MAAC and hold tiebreaker advantage.
Best-case scenario: It looks like fourth place is the goal for the Purple Eagles, who sit two games out of second-third with two to play.
Worst-case scenario: Loss to Canisius (10-17, 7-9) on Friday and at Manhattan (6-21, 3-13) on Sunday could drop Niagara as far down as sixth but the Purple Eagles already have avoided a first-round MAAC Tourney Game.
Most likely scenario: There are no guarantees in a Niagara-Canisius game but Niagara is set up to finish fourth.
Current standing: Tied with Siena for sixth place and close season on road against the Saints.
Best-case scenario: Two wins could potentially put the Griffs in a fourth-place tiebreaker mix.
Worst-case scenario: It all likely comes down to the season finale at Siena with the winner taking sixth and avoiding a first-round tourney game.
Most likely scenario: Griffs beat Siena at home on Jan. 4 but have lost three of last four and seven of last nine. Will have to rise up to avoid first round.
Current standing: Seventh overall in the MAC.
Best-case scenario: Could move up a spot but schedule suggests they'll finish right where they are.
Worst-case scenario: Bulls will do no worse than hosting a first-round tournament game.
Most likely scenario: Hosting a first-round tourney game March 9.
Current standing: Tied for 14th in A-10. Top 12 make conference tourney.
Best-case scenario: Bonnies win final two against Fordham (20-7, 10-2) and 12th-place La Salle (8-19, 4-8) while La Salle and 13th-place VCU drop final two.
Worst-case scenario: One loss eliminates Bona from A-10 tourney picture.
Most likely scenario: Bonnies finish 14th and miss tourney.

If you are used to Philippine's coastal scenery of fine white sand beaches with swaying palm trees, then the Kapurpurawan rock formation found in Burgos, Ilocos Norte is surely a unique treat. This astonishing geological formation could easily pass for an English coastal vista (the chalk cliffs comes to mind in this one).
From the town of Burgos, its a short but rough tricycle ride to Kapurpurawan. Inside the cramped side car (which can only fit two people if you squeeze them in really hard), we literally bounced our way down to the coast. I hit my head several times on the roof of the car.
From the drop off area we had to hike down a cemented trail that leads to a wide open field. The first glimpse of these wind blasted white rocks simply blows one away.
The field looks like hardened lava. It is dotted with small pools which I suspect are mostly underwater during high tide. You'll also see numerous natural bonsai trees stunted by the harsh conditions of the Ilocos coast. The winds here are strong, a reason why there is a wind farm nearby.
One group was leaving as we neared the white rocks. Kapurpurawan (from the root word "puraw" which means white in the local dialect) , because of its uniqueness, is a popular destination. Hordes of travelers and sightseers flock there to take pictures. The popularity of the place is also made evident of the trash that had started to accumulate in various nooks and crannies. You can say its been "photographed to death". But for a moment we had the place all to our small group.

The porous rock is totally different from the usual cheese like, sharp coral rocks found nearby. The formation has smooth flowing curves. Some portions of the rock formation are soft like chalk. After a few minutes of wandering about I noticed cream colored dust covering my gears and clothing.
It was a harsh realization, but by stepping on the soft rock we were giving Mother Nature a helping hand in accelerating the erosion process. If the winds can shape this natural monument, imagine the effect of a thousand sandals and shoes treading on it. I, of course, are one of the guilty.
It is however still possible to enjoy this natural moment and somehow preserve it at the same time. Designated trails and wooden walkways are pretty common in national parks in other countries such as Japan and the US.
If the natural progression of things related to tourist attractions here are to be expected of Kapurpurawan, I would not be surprise if one day those white and cream colored walls are filled with various graffiti, "X was here" included.
Do I want to return there? Of course I do, very much. It such a photogenic place I would love to shoot sunrise or sunset there. And I hope by the time I will be back there I would be able to figure out how to strike a balance between enjoying the place and minimizing my impact.
I was able to return to Kapurpurawan to shoot sunrise. See photos here.
