My wife and I stayed at the Coast Guard House in the Surfman Cove room for two nights. The room was very clean and comfortable. I would not recommend this particular room for people with mobility issues, especially because the tub/shower has a two foot high step to exit the soaking tub. The presence of a gas fireplace was very nice, and would be especially useful during the winter. Breakfast was very good. We recieved fresh fruit bowls each morning, followed by delicious oatmeal pancakes one morning (and a quiche the next), along with coffee, tea and orange juice. The young lady that served us was very polite, and made sure we had everything we needed. One downside to staying at the house is that when doors slam, they can be heard throughout the whole house. The second night, most of the rooms were occupied, one with small children. Doors were being opened and closed constantly, with the noise reverberating throughout the entire house. I would definitely recommend staying here if you have activities planned around the Point Arena area, but there really isn't a whole lot to do around the town itself. The pier is within walking distance, and the lighthouse is only about 10 minutes away (if it's not too foggy).

My wife and I got away for a little "down" time on the NoCal Mendicino Coast - we picked The Coast Guard House Inn as a lovely getaway on Route 1 tucked overlooking Point Arena Cove. The rooms are charmingly decorated in the style perfect to the history of the house - no frilly victorian prints here - and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. We've stayed in most of the rooms there and love the fact that you can lie in bed and hear only the harbor sounds. Its amazingly quiet at night. Equally amazing is the amount of stars you see in the night sky. We're used to "big" sky in the Sierras and were surprised to find the same here on the coast. We liked sitting at the window, enjoying a glass of wine and listening/watching the evening sky. Breakfast is always scrumptious - Mia is an excellent cook - and the meals never dissappoint. Nor did I ever leave the table hungry as there is plenty what with the fruit, muffins, granola/yogurt, and the main dish. Everything is made from scratch and the consistently high quality is impressive. The hosts Mia and Kevin make the place even more special: friendly, funny, smart, and accomodating, they are open with suggestions of where to go or info on area history. It is a real treat to engage in an after-breakfast conversation with them on a myriad of subjects. And we can't forget Winston the awesome dog who is always up for a scritch or a walk if you seem the obliging type. This place is a real find and we will be coming back soon!

Great hospitality and friendly staff. Room needed to be a bit more clean for our liking but otherwise very nice peaceful stay.

Just booked or 8th visit. This is a wonderful location with fantastic hosts, Kevin and Mia. Mia's breakfasts are worth the visit alone but Kevin's local insights are not to be missed. Rooms and cottages are just what you want for rest and comfort each with its own character.

My first visit to the Coast Guard House was to celebrate my birthday. I had gone on line and the web site immediately caught my eye because it was just what I wanted: a B&B that looked really cozy and comfortable, was located away from foot and car traffic and, as an added bonus, had a historical past, a working Coast Guard Station. That weekend was the beginning of a tradition, the yearly trip to the coast for Art in the Redwoods and a weekend's stay with Mia and Kevin for my birthday. Mia's breakfast's are the best, they are yummy and healthy!!! Don't worry, they'll ask if you have any dietary restrictions. The decorative flowers from the garden add to the delightful presentation and every meal seems to last forever as we seem to linger and chat with the other guests long after the plates are empty and have been whisked back into the kitchen. Kevin makes sure we have reservations for dinner, even when we have made very last minute requests. He always has a fire ready in the free standing stove when we come in after dark, a warm invitation to sit and talk with good friends or a chance to read a good book. Although we have been there many times now, we are still exploring the Point Arena area. Every trip brings new adventures, walks along the many beaches, catching a movie at the beautifully restored movie theater in Point Arena, huffing and puffing up the stairs at the Point Arena Lighthouse, exploring the shops and the local hardware store in Gualala, visiting the wonderful botanical gardens in Fort Bragg and walking up and down the pier at Point Arena Cove to watch all the local fishermen as they lower/raise their boats, weigh and mark their fish before delivery to restaurants and markets and watching people dinghy to and from to their anchored boats in the cove, there is always something interesting to watch. AND don't forget there's always the sunset if the fog hasn't rolled in!!!
Flag's queen size captain's bed is built into an alcove, surrounded by windows on three sides with an impressive view of the ocean and the pier. The private bath features a large old-fashioned tub with a hand-held shower. The refined nautical interior makes you feel as though you are aboard ship!
Two charming rooms, the larger of which has a cozy fireplace and queen size bed, the other has a double bed and a view of the cypress trees. For ultimate luxury, this suite boasts a spacious spa bathroom with claw-foot whirlpool tub and tiled shower. Keeper's Canyon can accommodate more than two people traveling together.
Awake to the rising sun in this bright and beautiful room with a sublime view of the circling birds in the canyon and watercolors by a famous local artist on the walls. Enjoy the warmth and ambiance of the soapstone stove. Sunrise has a comfortable queen size bed and a private bath with tiled shower.
This intimate cottage is a replica of the original boathouse from which Surfmen launched their lifeboats. The cottage features a fabulous ocean view, whirlpool spa for two, wood-burning fireplace, queen size bed and sunny, private patio. Breakfast is delivered to your door.
Cypress is a spacious and romantic cottage. It features an ocean view from every room facing west and a peaceful canyon view to the east. The cottage has a tremendous whirlpool spa for two nestled next to a gas fireplace; a comfortable living room plus dining area with a wood burning stove; and a redwood galley with refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker. Upstairs, the sleeping quarters feature an ocean view captain's bed overlooking Arena Cove and a cozy library room. Enjoy breakfast delivered to your cottage.

Civil rights 2013: a cautionary tale from Alabama
In July of 1963, I was preparing for my senior year at Nashville's Pearl High School. For me, news about the civil rights movement became an unsettling blend of darkest tragedies and heady victories.
Three generations march on Washington
I'm very proud that my father and uncle, Joe and Dennis Mora, were both at the 1963 March on Washington, one of many demonstrations and activities they participated in during the civil rights heyday.
March on Washington - right place to be in 1963 and 2013
It's 50 years later but we still have to march. We're marching for Trayvon. We're marching for voting rights - still!

Recycle Your Christmas Tree
Though it may give you the blues to take down your holiday tree, you can find solace in recycling your tree in the landscape.
Winter birds will appreciate using the tree for cover in your backyard, especially if you decorate it with bird food ornaments. Be sure to remove tinsel, plastic and other non-recyclable ornaments.
Suet, molded seeds or disposable birdseed hangers should be readily available from garden centers and bird supply shops. Homemade treats, such as pine cones or stale bread smeared with peanut butter and rolled in birdseed, are also a hit.
You'll need to secure the trunk to the ground to prevent it from rolling away in winter winds. You can attach the tree to a stable support with wire or twine or use stakes to secure the tree to the ground.
Christmas trees can also be recycled to use as mulch around the landscape. You can chop or grind smaller branches for wood chips to use in flower, tree and shrub beds. Larger branches can be cut into smaller bundles for winter protective mulch around newly planted perennials and small shrubs. Be sure to remove the branches in spring, when the plants begin to grow again.
Many communities have special pick-up service for discarded holiday trees. The trees are usually chipped up for use as mulch in parks and other city properties. Check local newspapers, or call the local street department for specific information in your area.

PATHANAMTHITTA: On February 26, in the evening, visiting the St. George Church, Chandanappalli Aram I, the Armenian Catholicos has declared the Parish as Worldwide Georgian Pilgrim Centre. In his declaration speech, the Catholicos remembered his arrival at Chandanappalli 35 years back as a young Priest.
Kuriakose Mar Clemis, Metropolitan of Thumpamon Diocese read out the relevant bull from the Supreme Head of Malankara Orthodox Church to fundament the declaration. When reading of bull was over the heaven was reverberating with the voices of scintillating fireworks.
The Church at Chandanappalli plays a very important role in the spirituality of local people for the last so many decades. This Church was rebuilt a few years back in order to cater to the needs of local faithful as well as pilgrims, who take their refuge in the intercession of St. George, the Martyr there. This Church is the second important pilgrim centre in St. George's name in Malankara, only second to St. George's Orthodox Church, Puthuppalli. Chandanappally Church was built in 1750.
Archbishop Sebouh Sarkissian, Prelate of Tehran, Bishop Nareg Alezmezian, Fr. Mesrob Sarkissian, Dr. Gabriel Mar Gregorios, Dr. Joseph Mar Dionysius, and Sabha Secretary Dr. George Joseph have spoken on the occasion.
Earlier the Pontiff, Guests of Honor and Metropolitans were received and were led to the Church with percussion and band accompaniments.

Dear Miss Manners: It is common for my Facebook contacts to make online announcements about health issues, job losses, ending of relationships and other unhappy news. Yet, whenever I see any of these people in person and I try to quietly, discreetly express my condolences, some of them are clearly annoyed that I am actually acknowledging their troubles.
This reaction confuses me since they did, after all, write a �status� message for many people to see. Is there some rule about online communication � should condolences and kind words be offered online only, because that is how the news was received?
Gentle Reader: What an interesting phenomenon. It would appear that these people seek posted sympathetic understanding from their entire acquaintance, perhaps including people they have never met, yet reject its being delivered personally by someone they do know.
It could be another example of topsy-turvy thinking, where the real world is less real than the virtual one. That seems so apt that Miss Manners is reluctant to advance somewhat more reasonable explanations, but feels that she must.
This would be about the timing of your commiseration. Apparently you deliver it whenever you happen to run into one of these people, not when the misfortune occurred or you have read the communication. By then, the illness may have been cured, or a new job or romance have started.
Or you may have brought this up on a festive occasion, when someone who has been trying to forget his troubles has to snap back into seriousness, or on a solemn occasion, such as a funeral, when it might call undue attention to lesser misfortune.
If a reaction is warranted � and Miss Manners does not expect you to post one every time a �contact� has weltschmerz � it should be done when the news is received. And yes, a less public way than a posting � a letter, a telephone call, or even an email � is more dignified, although the recipient might not care.
No witty way to say it
Dear Miss Manners: What is the best answer when someone asks you where you graduated from college and you haven�t, but really don�t want to answer in a defensive way?
Gentle Reader: �I didn�t.�
Miss Manners hopes you are not disappointed that she didn�t come up with a witty way of saying, �I�m just as smart as you, maybe smarter, even though you went to college and I didn�t.� That would be defensive.
Send questions to Miss Manners at her website, www.missmanners.com; to her email, firstname.lastname@example.com; or to Miss Manners, Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.

Katherine Heigl plays a woman clueless in the ways of romance in her upcoming film, The Ugly Truth. But in real life, the actress considers herself fairly savvy on the subject.
"In my early 20s, I didn't know who I was or what I wanted," the Grey's Anatomy star, 30, tells InStyle for August, "and if you're just getting to know yourself while you're in a serious relationship – it's like you're trying on different personalities to see what fits, but there is that real you in there somewhere."
Heigl says she found her real self when she met singer Josh Kelley, her husband of 18 months, on the set of his 2005 video Only You. "I was fed up with trying to be somebody else, and got really lucky and met a great guy who loved me for me," she says.
Her experiences have not only helped her learn what she wants in romance but also what she wants in a romantic comedy – and she says it isn't always rated PG-13.
In a real relationship, Heigl posits, "you're probably going to drop the F-bomb once in a while. You're probably going to say some things that are kind of harsh. And you're definitely going to talk about sex.
"It doesn't have to be so Snow White and Prince Charming. That's my problem with a lot of romantic comedies."
It's that sass and forthrightness that Ugly Truth costar Gerard Butler says made him fall madly in love with her after watching Knocked Up. "This is the sexiest, smartest, sassiest, funniest actress out there. And suddenly you get told they want you to read a script with her? I love this business!"
Katherine Heigl: Romance Not Always Rated PG-13

Reading Terminal Market: Historic for a Reason
Reading Terminal Market. Many of the historic Market stands survived the reconstruction and are once again filled with local produce, fresh eggs, milk, meats, poultry, seafood, handmade crafts, jewelry, and clothing. The Market is home to more than 80 merchants, two of whom are descendants of the original standholders from a century before. My personal favorite aspect of the market is Iovine Brothers Produce (pictured 1-3). You can find the freshest produce you could imagine and for amazing prices. It was a staple shopping destination while I was in college &mdash two large bags filled to the brim with fresh produce for under $20, I couldn't resist. The atmosphere is one that takes getting used to; I had never gotten elbowed while reaching for kale before! There are several fish, poultry and meat counters with items ranging from wild shrimp to croaker to veal and rabbit &mdash all fresh and butchered for you (or not, if you prefer to do it yourself.) I settled down for some lunch after walking around the market and feasted on a Flank Steak sandwich from Mezze. The sandwich was tender flank steak with blue cheese dressing, caramelized onions, roasted peppers, spinach leaves and sun dried tomato pesto. When visiting the Reading Terminal Market, make sure you take time to sample food from the local markets! Related:: Hollywood Farmers' Market: A Bright Spot in Winter (Images: Kristen Lubbe)

A group of local agencies have about six months to decide whether or not they will absorb the costs of maintaining and upgrading an Elkins building that's annual operating costs may range to nearly $35,000.
The National Guard Armory in Elkins will be completely vacated by the National Guard in a matter of months and then it will be up to local government and non-profit agencies to determine whether or not it is feasible to maintain and upgrade. Alpha Associates, a West Virginia-based architecture and engineering firm, presented a feasibility study Wednesday at Elkins High School.
The feasibility study was initiated by the Randolph County Development Authority.

Members representing the Randolph County Commission, Randolph County Board of Education, the city of Elkins and the Mountain State Forest Festival Board of Directors listen to Alpha Associates representative Rick Colebank Tuesday as he presents a feasibility study for the National Guard Armory in Elkins.
The other entities represented at Wednesday's meeting were the Randolph County Commission, Randolph County Board of Education, the city of Elkins and the Mountain State Forest Festival Board of Directors.
Representatives from Alpha were present to explain that turning the facility into what they called the Randolph County Conference Center would take three phases and $2.9 to $3.7 million total.
The study also estimated a potential revenue stream of $31,000 after phase one of the upgrades was complete. This revenue would be thousands of dollars short of the estimated $100,000 operating cost for the refurbished facility.
"It's not what you would call prime banquet or conference space," said Rebecca Key, Alpha associate and architect, said of the armory's current main space.
Alpha representative Rick Colebank said the bones of the building were strong and had potential. The first things the study addressed were increased access to the building, upgrading bathroom facilities and increasing the overall aesthetics of the building's exterior at a cost of between $400,000 to $600,000.
Phase two would focus on turning the drill hall into a multi-functional conference space with the option of creating two smaller rooms with the use of folding walls at a cost of between $1 to $1.5 million.
The final, most ambitious phase, includes creating a new 6,400-square-foot addition to the existing structure. Both phase two and three also include expansion of the parking lots.
"Things can change and certainly will change as you go through the process," Colebank said. "The plan we present is preliminary."
While representatives never said the facility couldn't be self-sustaining, it was made clear there would have to be a group to subsidize the cost for keeping the building open. Colebank added that the building would have to be marketed and draw on current area events for sources of income.
Community members as well as representatives of the groups that helped fund the study were present and asked questions after the presentation regarding the building's current operating costs and the future operating costs.
Numbers given by Alpha representatives differed greatly from those provided to Del. Bill Hartman, D-Randolph. Alpha said the building ran an annual utility bill of $12,500. Hartman, who said he received his information from the armory's commanding officer, stated the annual cost of utilities was $34,852. Both numbers were for the building in its current state, with no addition of a central air conditioning system.
When asked how long the assembled groups had to put a plan into motion, Hartman responded that the window of opportunity was only a matter of months. After that time, the building and the roughly 8 acres on which it sits will be sold at public auction, he said
"We'd have to do something in the next five to six months," Hartman said.
While no one agency stated outright that it would be interested in absorbing the building, the meeting's tone was one of urgency and concern.
"We need to come up with a plan on how to use (the armory) and keep it in use," said Ray Lamora, Elkins businessman and member of the Board of Directors for the Mountain State Forest Festival.
No further meeting dates were discussed or announced at the end of the meeting.

Systems structures and data structures which make possible the state restoration of user objects are described in this thesis. Recovery is linked with types which suggests making a distinction between recoverable and unrecoverable types. For convenience recovery is discussed in terms of recovery blocks as developed at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Recovery is taken to mean restoring the values of recoverable types. Recoverable multi-level systems are considered. On the one hand levels in such systems can be backed out. On the other hand these levels provide explicit recovery for new types they introduce. and so can be called on to restore states of objects used in higher levels. The concepts and issues are discussed and explained; mechanisms and techniques for building such systems are presented. Recovery techniques for complex global data structures and techniques to maintain consistency at any time even when recovery is impossible such as after a crash are described and compared. Many of the presented techniques are employed in an implemented recoverable two-level system with a recoverable filing system. This two-level system is described in detail. It is argued that in order to implement recoverability in multi-level systems with efficiency and flexibility, the interfaces of the system should provide both recoverable and unrecoverable types. It is also shown that the way in which complex data structures are updated is of major importance if recovery is to be provided in a "reasonably" efficient way and consistency is to be guaranteed after a crash.

Hi Steve. Everyone seems to be talking about the top prospects. Who do you think is the top under the radar player out there that will be the steal of the draft?
Steve Muench (12:10 PM)
I hope everyone is doing well and I apologize for moving the chat up a couple of hours on such short notice. That said let's get this chat going. The sleeper that I pushing hard right now is TCU MLB Jason Phillips. Not a great athlete and he hurt his knee at the combine but he has excellent instincts, above-average top-end speed and he tackles well. He should come off the board in the fourth round range and could be a steal there.
Keith (Dallas, TX)
What's your take on Rashard Jennings of Liberty? Is he a slightly faster version of Tim Hightower and what round should the 49ers grab him as a 'big-back' complement to Frank Gore (if he fits that role)?
Steve Muench (12:12 PM)
Actually, that's an excellent comparison and Jennings projects as a fifth maybe late fourth round pick.
Jake (VA)
As an enormous Skins fan and a Jason Campbell supporter/apologist, should I be genuinely worried that they'll take Sanchez, as Kiper predicts, or are we just using this as a tactic to get teams to trade up tour spot? For my sanity I hope its the latter! Thanks for the work you put in!
Steve Muench (12:15 PM)
I'm with you on Campbell. He's improved over the past three seasons and I think he could take the next step this year. Does that make him a late bloomer for a first round pick? Sure but that doesn't mean you jettison the guy in my opinion. So Sanchez doesn't make a great deal of sense to me either but you know and I know that doesn't mean they won't do it.
jean paul (Paris)
Am i being naive thinking Rams will go QB? They must realize Bulger is not the long term answer after 2 miserable yrs. You dont get many opportunities to draft Franchise QBs, and it is not like this team is a good OT away from playoffs.
Steve Muench (12:17 PM)
I think they need a quarterback and that they consider Stafford if the Lions don't take him but I still think that Sanchez is too much of a reach and there's better value at tackle that early in the draft.
Keith (Dallas, TX)
Are there any MLBs other than Maualuga in this year's draft that could play ILB alongside Patrick Willis? The Niners seem to like a thumper (D Smith and T Spikes) that allows Willis to be the run-and-chase guy. Would Brinkley out of South Carolina fit that type and, if so, when could he be had?
Steve Muench (12:18 PM)
Keith doing my job for me. Brinkley would be a good fit and he's another fourth or fifth round pick in our opinion though he has moved up some draft boards over the last couple of months.
Steve (Reston VA)
Steve, why do so many people get offended if you dont think Michael Crabree is going to be the best WR of all time? I have serious doubts on him, but whenever I say that outloud the entire room gets silent and I feel like Ive done something wrong.
Steve Muench (12:21 PM)
I'll say this Steve. I've watched Maclin, Harvin, Heyward-Bey, Britt etc. etc. and Crabtree is clearly my No. 1 receiver in his class. Now I don't know about all time. Talk to me in ten years and maybe we can debate it then. That said, you certainly have a right to your opinion so I don't get people shutting you down like that. Is there another receiver in this class that you like more than Crabtree?
Mo (Atlanta)
I've seen a few mocks slating Eugene Monroe to the Seahawks. What's your take on him in a zone blocking system? I heard some rumblings that he wouldn't be ideal for this type of system, which begs the question - is he a real possibility for the Seahawks? Thanks!
Steve Muench (12:22 PM)
I think he can handle zone blocking just fine so yes I think he 's a real possibility there.
rerun (su)
no one ever talks about fullbacks, the forgotten position. is tony fiammetta going to be the first selected, and who needs a good FB?
Steve Muench (12:25 PM)
I just wrote something on fullbacks going in the middle round and yes I think Fiammetta is the first come off the board. He should hear his name called in the fifth round range. I also point out that I think that he could really help Cincinnati.
Shane (Los Angeles, CA)
SM: While I agree there is no clear "#1" pick, looking at this draft, I see a whole lot of talent...Do you think the fact that there is no clear franchise QBs (and QB needy teams may reach for them) in this draft is overshadowing the fact that this draft has franchise players at other positions? What do you think of the overall talent that can be found in this draft's first 2 rounds?
Steve Muench (12:27 PM)
This class boasts good talent and depth at certain positions like tight end, outside linebacker and receiver so I agree with you in that regard. On the other hand, I think that the talent in the top two rounds of this class isn't as strong as last year's class.
justin, anahiem, ca
do u think josh freeman will do well in the NFL, and do u think the jets have a shot to get him?
Steve Muench (12:31 PM)
I think that Freeman could do well in the right situation and I'm not sure the Jets are that situation. He needs time to learn a new offense and ideally an experienced mentor to help bring him along. The Jets are a big market team with a new head coach playing in a highly competitive division. That said, I do think there's a chance will take him if he's there and he could be there because they need a quarterback in a big way in my opinion.
Joe (NY)
Hey Steve, a lot of Jets fans really want Jarron Gilbert with the 17th pick, I think that is a HUGE reach, I see more as a third round pick. Where do you think he should go?
Steve Muench (12:31 PM)
You are right and they are wrong Joe.
Jim VA
what are your thoughts on BYU WR Autin Collie. what round do you think that hes goes in?
Steve Muench (12:33 PM)
Adequate-not-great top-end speed but he runs great routes and catches almost everything he gets his hands on. I think he'll come off the board in the fourth round range.
Jeff, Mpls
Do you think Jenkins will play CB or safety in the NFL, and if safety is the answer, do you see him falling into the second round or wouldn't that really matter?
Steve Muench (12:33 PM)
I think he's a first-round safety.
Jeff, Mpls
Maclin, DHB, Harvin, Nicks, Britt...Who will have have the most productive year?
Steve Muench (12:34 PM)
Maclin because of his return ability.
Paul (Denver)
Whom do you see the Bears targeting at WR with their 2nd rounder? Can he really have an impact as a rookie?
Steve Muench (12:35 PM)
Ohio State's Brian Robiskie is as NFL ready as a college prospect can be and the Bears should pounce on him if he's there.
Max (Rushmore)
Muench-hausen, whassup? What's your take on William Moore, S Missouri? Potential 1st rounder last year, dropped a bit now, can he be a difference maker?
Steve Muench (12:38 PM)
Wow. A rare rushmore shoutout. Nice work. As far as Moore goes, his stock really dropped over the past year and his lack of agility is a concern. I'm not sure how you define difference make so I'll say that I certainly think he can help a team but he's never going to be a top notch playmaker in my opinion.
John (Boston)
What is the earliest Pat White will come off the board? I'm hoping the Patriots could get him at the end of the second round. thanks
Steve Muench (12:39 PM)
He could come off the board in the second round and I will say it again that's way too early for me.
Keith (Dallas, TX)
Other than the 2 Boston College DTs, who are the college DTs that could play the 3-4 nosetackle? Considering the number of teams switching to the 3-4, there seems to be a real shallow pool of quality candidates for such an important position.
Steve Muench (12:42 PM)
Keith is playing chess and we're all playing checkers today. Finding 330-pound men that can consistently occupy two blockers without giving ground just isn't that easy to do. That said. Stillman DT Sammie Lee Hill and Temple DT Terrance Knighton have some upside at nose tackle
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
I agree, the Bears should take Robiskie if he's there, but what if Nicks and Britt are also there, do you still like Robiskie?
Steve Muench (12:43 PM)
Yes I do. Nicks has put on some wight since the Combine and though Britt is moving up draft boards I can't put him ahead of Robiskie based on what I have seen on film.
Chris, Cleveland
Do the Browns have a interest in Crabtree? Figuring Braylong leaves this year or next, they need to have targets. They also need a RB on offense too. Thoughts?
Steve Muench (12:46 PM)
Don't forget about Stallworth's legal issues either. So yes I think they would consider taking Crabtree but they should also be able to pick up DE/OLB Orakpo or NT B.J. Raji so they are in an excellent position. When it's all said and done I see them taking one of the defensive players though.
Phil (Cincy)
Steve. Assuming both Monroe and J Smith are gone pick 6. How far of a reach is A. Smith or Oether (sp?)?
Steve Muench (12:47 PM)
In my opinion, take Oher or Smith at 6 is too much of a reach but you should know that a lot of other people think Smith is a viable option there.
Larry, Walnut Creek, CA
Will the Broncos trade there 2 first rounds and move to 3 or 4 in the draft? and who do you thonk they will get?
Steve Muench (12:47 PM)
I'd be surprised to see them package those picks.
Darryl in ATL
Steve, a common consensus has this as a defensive draft for the Falcons, yet an inordinate number of mocks have them taking Pettigrew at 24, based on value and providing another weapon for Ryan. Where do you see them going?
Steve Muench (12:49 PM)
Pettigrew makes a great deal of sense to me and not because I think he's an ideal fit for the scheme. He's the best blocking tight end in his class and he develop into a reliable safety valve for Ryan, Good value, good fit good pick.
Steve (Reston VA)
Follow-up answer...for the right system I like Robiskie, Britt, and Nicks better than Crabtree. I like them even more knowing they will cost a whole lot less.
Steve Muench (12:51 PM)
Outside of the finances and it's a good point to make why do you feel that way?
Andy (Denver)
Who, in your humble opinion, does the best work putting together mock drafts?
Steve Muench (12:54 PM)
Of course, I think it's McShay because we work together but I really do respect his opinion. That guys does a tremendous amount of work. I also want to say that Mock drafts are tricky because of the amount of information we acquire. The crux of the problem is do you put a player in a certain slot because you feel he's the best fit/value there or do you put a player there that you know they are highly interested in?
Kim Deal (CA)
Sorry, I know you just answered a smimilar question, but I just played around with the the Draft Machine. It seems that there are many scenarios that leave the Raiders without Crabtree, Raji, and top two OT's. If that were to happen, would you think then, that the Raiders should then pick up Andre Smith? Some DE's would be left but they already have some talent there. Your thoughts?
Steve Muench (12:54 PM)
Don't forget about Maclin. he's got great speed and they love speed.
patrick (STL)
gil brandt says never pass up on an opportunity to select a franchise QB- i think Rams see this in Sanchez. Also read where Crabtree has major character issues/hangers-on and y his stock has dropped. what have you heard Steve? Thx and have a good weekend
Steve Muench (12:59 PM)
I would never pass up on a franchise quarterback so I agree with Brandt. The problem is how you define franchise quarterback and whether or not you think Sanchez falls into that category. I like him a lot and think he's had a great off-season but his lac of experience is a major red flag. As far as Crabtree goes, I think tagging him with character issues is a little to harsh and we think the only reason his stock has dipped is the foot injury.
Steve (Reston VA)
I think Crabtree, while extremely talented, was a prodcut of a gimmick offense that did not require the WRs to learn and master the route tree, he will not overpower DBs at 6'1 210 the way we thought he woud when listed at 6'3 215, and he wont be able to make up for it with game-breaking speed. I see him as having difficulty with double-teams and creating seperation. I see him as being a very good, even dangerous #2 WRs, with #1 potential.
Steve Muench (1:01 PM)
I can tell you with 100% confidence Steve that Crabtree is an outstanding route runners. I've seen him buckle defensive backs' knees coming out of breaks. In addition, if teams are covering him with two men than he's helped open up the field for his teamaates.
Ray (NJ)
Do you think the Burress issue has made teams take a second look at players with "baggage" in the up comming draft?
Steve Muench (1:03 PM)
Burress is not the first player whose off the field issues have cost his team in a big way so to be honest no.
Steve (Reston VA)
I am wrong more often that right Im sure, but the last time I had a sitation like this was when I was telling everyone that Peter Warrick would not make it in the NFL. People laughed at me. Im not saying Crabtree wont make it, Im just saying the comparisons to Fitzgerald, along with the assumption he will be near that good are incredible to me given how little we know of him, his college offense, size and lack of speed. We will see I guess. I love the kid as a player and am pulling for him nonetheless.
Steve Muench (1:07 PM)
Peter Warrick and Crabtree are very different in terms of skills and style so I'm not comfortable mentioning the two in the same sentence when it comes to their potential. As far as how little we know of him and his offense, he was a two-year starter so we have an adequate body of work though admittedly not ideal. While the offense helped free him up, he still torched single coverage when he got it. His speed is an issue but I'll take a football player over a track star any day of the week.
Steve Muench (1:08 PM)
That's it for this week. Enjoy the weekend and I will be back next Friday at my normal time. (2 pm ET)

Dallas-area woman found dead, wrapped in sheet beside street in Lubbock
Here's a report from staff writer J.K. Nickell:
A woman from the Dallas area was found dead in Lubbock this week, wrapped in a bloody sheet on a busy street.
Stephanie Williams, 43, was found about 8:15 p.m. Wednesday in an industrial area on the southeast side of the city, police said. The cause of death was not released, but police are investigating it as a homicide, Lubbock police Sgt. Jonathan Stewart said.
Lubbock police were able to reach Williams' family and determine she was from the Dallas area, but few other details are known.
Authorities say she used a few other names: Janice Johnson, Lisa Williams and Stephanie Jones, the Lubbock paper reported.
Lubbock police have asked for help identifying the victim's whereabouts before her death. Anyone with information can call 806-775-2409.

A protocol to be administered by nurses for the management of dysuria, frequent urination, and vaginal discharge was validated. In a randomized, controlled trial, 146 women were seen by both nurse and physician and then assigned to either the nurse-protocol treatment plan or the physician treatment plan. The clinical data collected by the nurse showed no important differences from the physicians' data. The protocol recommended that 89% of the patients be sent home without seeing the physician. The physicians agreed with the protocol-recommended disposition in all but two cases. All patients with complications were appropriately referred to the physician. In follow-up, more than 95% of both groups reported symptomatic improvement, and repeat urine cultures were negative. We conclude that the protocol can be accurately administered, makes sound recommendations, is safe, and efficiently saves physician time.

ContentsTalk to Grunt and Speak to Clan LeaderTalk to ShamanSurvive and Activate the KeystoneSurvive the Second Round of the RiteSurvive the Thresher Maw
Talk to Grunt and Speak to Clan Leader
Talk to Grunt in the cargo hold on the Normandy engineering deck. His loyalty quest will take place on Tuchanka (the same as Mordin's so if you can knock both out while you're there, the better). Completing this mission will unlock Grunts new outfit as well as a new power: Fortification, a brief but massive boost to your armor. We selected Mordin and (obviously) Grunt as our teammates on this loyalty quest. Travel to the krogan homeworld, Techanka, in the Aralakh system, located in the Korgan DMZ, and speak to the clan leader.Talk to Shaman
After speaking with the clan leader you will learn that Grunt must start a Rite of Passage. It will be a series of battles against a large number of enemies, so stock up on heavy ammo, and go talk to the shaman to get this battle started. You may have to unleash a Paragon heavy dialog choice because Uvenk doesn't like the idea of Grunt participating in the Rite (for this part, however, we selected Miranda as our third squad member).Survive and Activate the Keystone
Walk forward and activate the keystone in front of you to start the first round of the Rite. There is a lot of salvage to be found in this area: med-kits, ammo, minerals, and credits. So be sure to always loot this area to the best of your ability between rounds. Your first challenge of enemies will be varren. Once all of the varren have been defeat, go back over to the keystone and press the button switch again to bring on the next wave of enemies.Survive the Second Round of the Rite
Now the second round brings with it a series of encounters with Klixens. Make sure you kill these enemies from a distance -- they explode when near death. One strategy to use other than attacking them with ranged attack is to use cryo rounds to freeze them, allowing you to get to a safe distance if necessary before they are killed. Survive the Thresher Maw
Don't be intimidated by the size of the thresher maw. There are plenty of areas for cover to avoid it's spitting attack. You'll also have ample time to find good positioning from cover to fire your heavy weapon at it. It will also help to have all of your squad concentrate their firepower on this enemy as well -- all that it has is armor, once it is depleted it will die and this part of the mission will be over.
After the cut-scene has concluded you'll be thrust into a battle against Uvenk and his clan of krogan. Your primary targets early one should be the warriors -- save Uvenk for last since he'll be running for cover anyway. Have you and your squad concentrate on single warriors at a time to dispatch them faster. Before you go after Uvenk, search for the Urdnot Corpse along the wall (pictured) to pick up the Shotgun Damage upgrade. Once it comes down to Uvenk, use the same strategy having everyone unload their attacks on him until he has been defeated. After that the mission will be complete and Grunt will be accepted into Clan Urdnot.GO TO MIRANDA: THE PRODIGALGO TO JACOB: THE GIFT OF GREATNESSGO TO JACK: SUBJECT ZEROGO TO MORDIN: OLD BLOODGO TO GARRUS: EYE FOR AN EYEGO TO TALI: TREASONGO TO SAMARA: THE ARDAT-YAKSHIGO TO THANE KRIOS: SINS OF THE FATHERGO TO LEGION: A HOUSE DIVIDED

OWENS CROSS ROADS, AL -- The town of Owens Cross Roads waited 10 years for its first real fire engine.
Its latest fire truck could materialize virtually overnight -- and without costing a dime of tax money.
The Owens Cross Roads Volunteer Fire Department is a finalist to win a free commercial pumper valued at $170,000 in an online contest by fire truck manufacturer E-One.
The small department east of Huntsville is one of seven rural fire stations nationwide -- and the only one in the South -- competing for the pumper. Online votes will determine the winner.
Voting remains open through 1 p.m. Aug. 27 on E-One's website, e-one.com. Click here to cast your vote.
At 3 p.m. that day, the winning department will be announced at the annual International Association of Fire Chiefs conference in Chicago. Owens Cross Roads Fire Chief Dan Kelly will be there for the big moment.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Kelly said Friday. "How many times do you have somebody willing to give you something like that free of charge?
"It just doesn't happen."
Owens Cross Roads was among about 600 small fire departments that submitted short essays to E-One earlier this year explaining why they deserve a free fire truck.
Kelly wrote about the late Robert M. Maples, one of the department's founding fathers and its assistant chief for more than half a century.
In 1958, Maples helped convert a hand-me-down gas tanker from Redstone Arsenal into a makeshift fire truck that protected Owens Cross Roads for 10 years. A decade later, he helped acquire the town's first true fire truck, a 500-gallon, front-mount pumper Chevrolet.
Old Engine 261 is no longer so reliable and recently failed a pump test.
Kelly said "Mr. Maples' engine" is still on backup duty at the Cave Spring Road station but needs to be replaced.
"We're where we're at today because of him," Kelly said. "If we do win this engine -- good Lord willing -- it would be dedicated to Mr. Maples and the six other founding members of the department."
He said the department's 20 volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians have asked everyone they know to vote in the contest. They have also solicited help from fire departments across Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina.
With an annual budget of just $45,500, this is the department's best chance of getting a top-of-the-line pumper truck, Kelly said.
"If we don't win," he said, "I don't see it happening any time in the future."
Owens Cross Roads was in third place in the online voting as of last week. The other finalists are in Leiters Ford, Ind.; Hines, Ore.; Luther, Okla.; Poverty Creek, Nev., Sedan, Kan.; and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
"We could use a boost," Kelly said.

With Fluery, you really never know. I see him as one of the most talented goalies in the league, but he also has the potential to fall to levels that most goalies would not. He'll make absolutely unbelievable saves, but he might also let in a couple goals that leaves you wondering how that is even possible.
He has been great during the regular season, but you could say pretty much the same thing every year, so that won't help him in the playoffs.

The mother of Kenneth Bae, an American missionary imprisoned in North Korea, says it broke her heart to leave her son in custody.
Myunghee Bae had three visits with him in the hospital, where he's being treated after falling ill in a labor camp in August. He had lost more than 50 pounds before he was hospitalized.
The Swedish ambassador met Bae's mother, who lives in Lynnwood, Wash., at the airport and took her to her son.
The U.S. State Department coordinated the visit with the Swedish Embassy, which represents American interests in North Korea because the United Statse has no diplomatic ties there.
"We remain gravely concerned about his health and continue to urge the authorities to grant him special amnesty and immediate release on humanitarian grounds," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said.
Bae, a Korean-American, is serving a 15-year sentence of hard labor for alleged activities against the state. The tour guide operator reportedly prayed and shared his faith with others.
Bae's mother said she's relieved to see her son's health improving and was grateful for the "precious hours" spent with him.
She is calling on the U.S. government to do more to free him.

Quebec City is gorgeous anytime of the year, be it under a fresh layer of snow or during a warm summer night. But according to locals, it just doesn't get better than in autumn, when the leaves turn into all shades of red and yellow, where the air is crisp and where the daytime only gets more precious. If you aren't quite ready to the notoriously harsh Canadian winters, perhaps visiting in the fall would be a good compromise. Let's see what visitors can do in Quebec City in autumn.
Go Play Outside
Remember what your mom used to tell you when you were a kid? Turns out, she was right. Being outside is so much fun! Especially in Quebec City. You can opt to go on a day trip to Montmorency Falls, hiking or mountain biking in the Jacques-Cartier National Park, or test your fear of heights at the Sainte-Anne Canyon.
If you are not much of an adventurous person and would rather stick to urban strolls, do not fret. Quebec City has a lot of green spaces and quaint areas that are just begging to be discovered and photographed, like the Plaines d'Abraham, the Citadelle, the winding streets of Old Quebec, the Domaine de Maizerets or the Saint-Charles River linear park.
Go on a Ile d'Orléans Tour
Few things in life taste as good as lovingly-made ice cider. And one of the best places to do just that happens to be right ouside of Quebec City, on the picturesque Orleans Island. Other things to do on this island include apple picking, historical tours, wine routes and much, much more.
Go Up Mont Sainte-Anne
Quebec City's most popular skiing mountain isn't just for winter sports aficionados. Indeed, Mont Sainte-Anne is open year-round for mountain biking or hiking, but also offers a much-appreciated panoramic gondola service to the top in just 12 minutes for unparalleled views of the wonderful St. Lawrence River, the Orleans Island, the splendid area of Charlevoix, the Laurentides Mountains and Québec City. A great way to the famous fall foliage in full swing and in postcard format!
Go See a Football Game
The ultimate Canadian sport may be hockey, but Quebec City is definitely a football town. University football, precisely. And what would fall in North American be without university football, right? The Rouge et Or club (which translates into red and gold, the team's official colors), seven times grand Canadian champions. The atmosphere is electric!

Harvard Medical School researchers are using Lumera's ProteomicProcessor™ Biosensor to build next-generation discovery and diagnostics methods, according to the company. The collaboration is focused on integrating Harvard's NAPPA (Nucleic Acid Programmable Protein Array) technology, which provides a way to generate a protein biochip, with the ProteomicProcessor to read and analyze the biochip.
Harvard has served as a beta site for the ProteomicProcessor since mid-2006. "In the past quarter, we have successfully narrowed the window of processing conditions to produce a ProteomicProcessor-compatible NAPPA array," points out Joshua LaBaer, Ph.D., director of the Harvard Institute of Proteomics. "We now have a solid foundation on which to begin our development efforts. Among our first areas of investigation will be probing a family of 200 kinase proteins for their interaction with and among drug families relevant to cancer research."
"There is a significant amount of value to the pharmaceutical development market in combining these two technologies," predicts Timothy Londergan, Ph.D., director of Lumera's Bioscience Business. "This will ultimately lead to new products that take advantage of NAPPA's unique capability of producing proteins on demand and the ProteomicProcessor's unique ability to understand in great detail how the proteins are interacting with each other and with other compounds, like, for example, drug candidates. We are particularly interested in using NAPPA to generate a human protein kinase array, allowing us to address a very large and growing segment of the drug discovery market with a high value consumable product."

Portrait of a Priestess : Women and Ritual in Ancient Greece
You save US$12.57
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 3 business days
In this sumptuously illustrated book, Joan Breton Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked, from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way, she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly builds this history through a pioneering examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources, inscriptions, sculpture, and vase painting. Ranging from southern Italy to Asia Minor, and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A.D., she brings the priestesses to life--their social origins, how they progressed through many sacred roles on the path to priesthood, and even how they dressed. She sheds light on the rituals they performed, the political power they wielded, their systems of patronage and compensation, and how they were honored, including in death. Connelly shows that understanding the complexity of priestesses' lives requires us to look past the simple lines we draw today between public and private, sacred and secular. The remarkable picture that emerges reveals that women in religious office were not as secluded and marginalized as we have thought--that religious office was one arena in ancient Greece where women enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. Connelly concludes by examining women's roles in early Christianity, taking on the larger issue of the exclusion of women from the Christian priesthood. This paperback edition includes additional maps and a glossary for student use.show more

Review quote
Winner of the 2008 James R. Wiseman Book Award, Archaeological Institute of America Winner of the 2007 Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Classics and Ancient History, Association of American Publishers One of New York Times Book Review's 100 Notable books for 2007 "In this sphere of polis life the priestess clearly played a leading and fundamental role. This makes it all the more astonishing that Joan Breton Connely's Portrait of a Priestess is, as she rightly claims, the first full-length work to take the Greek priestess specifically as its subject... Connelly has run down inscriptions--honorific, funerary, financial, or cult-related--all over the Mediterranean. She has studied a plethora of statues and vase paintings in collections from Samos to St. Petersburg, from Messene to Munich, from Thebes to Toledo. Her indexes of monuments and inscriptions testify to the prodigious amount of work that has gone into this volume... Portrait of a Priestess is a remarkable triumph against heavy odds."--Peter Green, New York Review of Books "Eye opening...well-documented, meticulously assembled...Greek religion is a vast and complex subject, and Portrait of a Priestess, by concentrating on one of its most concretely human aspects, offers an engrossing point of entry... Connelly's style is clear, often elegant and occasionally stirring."--Steve Coates, New York Times Book Review "Joan Breton Connelly's Portrait of a Priestess: Women and Ritual in Ancient Greece is the biggest, fullest and most up-to-date study of these important women from the time of Homer through to the early years of Christianity. Beautifully illustrated and substantially documented, it is also highly argumentative and ... ambitious."--James Davidson, Times Literary Supplement "Until Joan Breton Connelly's wonderful volume, Portrait of a Priestess, was published the prominent role of Greek priestesses in ancient Greek society was ignored, or even denied, by most (male) commentators... Her compelling book challenges our assumptions about the role of priestesses, and more generally the role of women, in a far-off world that retains the fascination of countless readers."--The Book Depository "The quantity of illustrations is revealing: if women were excluded from public life, why were their images everywhere? Connelly argues that the authority entrusted to women as priestesses made them far from subordinate in the Greek state and that they were in fact often prominent and indispensable executives in the civic sphere. This is a reinterpretation of antiquity that works."--Nigel Spivey, Financial Times "By examining the lives and work of 150 priestesses--from Troy's Kassandra, whose beauty distracted Ajax, to the historical Berenike who was celebrated for her civic and philanthropic contributions to the city of Syros--Connelly reinstates these women to their rightful place in ancient history."--Eti Bonn-Muller, Archaeology "Connelly's brave effort is a long time in the making and deserves to be taken seriously. For one thing, the book is substantial in length and assembles a rich body of documentation, much of it epigraphical and unfamiliar to many archaeologists and art historians. It is also lavishly produced."--Catherine M. Keesling, Bryn Mawr Classical Review "A gorgeously illustrated (over 100 images) and wonderfully readable new book...The first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world...Dr. Connelly presents a full and vivid picture of the priestesses, who ranged from southern Italy to Asia Minor from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century AD."--Vicki J Yiannias, Greek News "Her conclusions should upset many of the assumptions commonly held about women in the time of Christ... Apart from the clarity of its writing and the quality of its illustrations, this book is important because it helps the lay reader grasp what today's specialists are thinking... Essential reading."--Owen Higgs, New Directions "Joan Connelly's new book boldly challenges old assumptions about the subordination of Greek women... To understand ancient Greek culture and the place of women in it, we must set aside our own distinctions between sacred and secular, public and private, power and incapacity... The array of monuments, vase paintings, and inscriptions Connelly has collected is a welcome resource for scholars, and nonexperts will benefit from her clear style and careful placement of each object in historical context."--Joy Connolly, Women's Review of Books "This book offers a rich mine of information about women's lives through their participation in religion and will be a valuable addition to school and university libraries."--Janet Watson, Journal of Classics Teaching "Beautifully illustrated and presented, with exhaustive notes and bibliography, this is an excellent study into the role of women as priestesses from the highest to lowest ranking. [Connelly], from her vast experience in the fields of archaeology and fine art, demonstrates clearly how the role of women in religious office was more important than many believed."--Terry Cook, Greek-o-File "This richly illustrated and beautifully produced exploration of an underdeveloped topic by seasoned archaeologist Connelly applies the full array of theoretical tools to produce a volume that portrays the lifelong role of real women, realized in public but mastered in the home, in sacred service to the ancient Greek polis...This accessible volume significantly contributes to the ongoing reshaping of scholars' and students' understanding of the social realities of ancient Greek women."--J.C. Hanges, Choice "Well written, beautifully illustrated, and superabundantly documented, it will richly reward the reader's effort."--Ann Plogsterth, Wellesley "Portrait of a Priestess is an impressively long book. It is beautifully produced... It is also affordable and easy to use, but the book anticipates a specialist, scholarly readership... [T]he author does a superb job of juggling such a massive amount of data. It is very likely that her publication will become a standard study of women and religion, serving as both monograph and reference work."--Tyler Jo Smith, Museum Anthropology "[A]lmost 20 years in the making, this is a remarkable book. It is easy to believe that al1 anyone has ever wanted to know about priestesses in the ancient Greek world is contained here... Connelly's achievement is to put between two covers of an attractive book a storehouse of data."--Robin Osborne, Cambridge Archaeological Journal "This is a striking hypothesis--one that brings scholarship on women's religious roles into line with current understandings of their domestic influence."--Susan Deacy, Journal of Hellenic Studies "[T]his book is useful for its wide-ranging collection of evidence, good photographs, and some observations. It gives a good stimulus to recognize the public visibility of priestesses."--Eva Stehle, Journal of Religion "Connelly has brought together a large body of evidence about priestesses and posed new questions about them that move forward the study of priesthoods in antiquity. Many questions still remain, and further analysis of the epigraphical evidence in particular is much needed. This beautifully illustrated book will be the starting point for future research on the subject."--Margaret M. Miles, Journal of the American Academy of Religion "Connelly's landmark study is a must-read for any scholar of ancient religion, art, or gender studies."--Laurie A. Kilker, Religion Journal "Princeton University Press must be thanked and complimented for offering such a significant and persuasive revisionist study, very generously illustrated, at so modest a price, making it affordable not just for university libraries and specialists, but for others who wish to gain 'state-of-the-question' understanding of female elites and leaders in the Greco-Roman world."--Victor Castellani, European Legacy "Portrait of a Priestess is well-structured and lucidly written. The book maintains a healthy balance between overuse and total avoidance of Greek words and professional terms, and addresses not only a readership of specialists in Classical studies, but a much wider audience."--Yulia Ustinova, Scripta Classica Israelica "[A] detailed and nuanced portrait of the priestress in Ancient Greece."--Reinhart Ceulemans, INTAMS Reviewshow more
Back cover copy
"Joan Connelly . . . has produced a fascinating book on the central role of priestesses in ancient Greek society. Her survey is fully documented and beautifully illustrated. One cannot but admire her enthusiasm for the subject and her deft handling of the evidence."--Colin Austin, University of Cambridge, coeditor of "Aristophanes Thesmophoriazusae""There was a great need for a book of this kind. Through direct observation of artifacts, the author offers many original ideas, and even manages to correct some long-held erroneous readings of ancient texts. Her emphasis on the important role played by some women in classical antiquity is a welcome corrective to the stereotype of the subordinate female in the Greek world. The remarkably wide-ranging material will be of great interest not only to archaeologists but also to scholars in various fields."--Brunilde S. Ridgway, Professor Emerita, Bryn Mawr College, author of "Prayers in Stone: Greek Architectural Sculpture (c. 600-100 B.C.E.)""This is the first full presentation in English or in any language of the female priest in the ancient Greek world. Connelly adduces evidence that women all over the Greek world had, as priestesses, positions of great public influence in their communities. I predict this study will have a wide readership by general classicists as well as those interested in ancient religion, ancient society, and women in ancient Greece, not to mention by art historians. This promises to be a landmark study."--Stephen V. Tracy, American School of Classical Studies at Athens, author of "Athens and Macedon: Attic Letter-Cutters of 300 to 229 B.C.""There has long been a need for a book devoted to the role of the priestess in ancient Greece. After reading Connelly, no one could fail to be persuaded that priestesses could play an important role in society or that they were given significant honors. This book will do much to improve and extend our understanding of the role of Greek women both in religion and in society."--Mary Lefkowitz, Wellesley College, author of "Greek Gods, Human Lives: What We Can Learn from Myths"show more

Since we had just been on this ship last summmer, we didn't expect much in the way of change. The cabins were spotless, the beds comfortable and the staff friendly and welcoming. We recognized many of the waiters, and bar staff from previous trips and they knew us. I'd guess more than 40% of the passengers were alumni.
We left Barbados on time and headed to our sea day. The itinerary had to be changed around a bit due to an unforeseen illness, but personally I don't think it took away from the trip.
For the first time, there were two "lectures" during the sea day. I don't recall any of the Windstar ships offering this before. I think it's a great idea and I'd encourage them to keep doing it.
The ship was about 95% filled, but you still have no trouble finding quiet places inside our outside to read or sleep. The Surf is a beautiful ship and the crew keeps it amazingly clean.
The food was the same - good, but not great. The addition within the last few years to add La Marche and Candles was a good one and making reservations for either or both was simple. No lines.
The ports of call were okay. Perhaps my wife and I have had enough of the Caribbean, but to me they all begin to look the same. One issue everyone had was the decision to dock at Portsmouth instead of Roseau on Dominica. Many people complained because the former is a depressed, dirty little town with no stores and no shops, and virtually no beach. So we quickly went back to the ship and spent the bulk of the day there.
We also went to Granada (very nice), Bequia (good to visit, but not much to see our do), Mayreau, (not road, no stores). Unless one was very adventurous, there was little to see or do.
The traditional picnic on the beach was nice, but the lounges were too close together and there was very little shade. We again opted to go back to the ship. (Seriously, we're not people who really want to just hang out on the ship!).
I think the highlight of this cruise was New Year's Eve. Nearly everyone on board came into the lounge to hear two very good bands. They played continuously for several hours and a bit before midnight the entire crew joined in. People seemed to have a great time, but noboday got out of hand

This should be Josh's triumphant entry into the land of the Mediaphiles. Unfortunately he emailed this to me and then never responded when I told him he had to make the post himself so it could be listed under his name. What can I say? The guys hilarious, but sort of a Houdini. Maybe one day he will do these things regularly, but for now savor this tasty morsel for as long as you can.
More like "The Final MEH-stination".
The latest death-fearing vehicle has people (SPOILER ALERT!) dying in elaborately crafted deaths. The lamest of these deaths involves the water filtration of a pool. Without spoiling what happens in that scene, I'll just say it sucks. Actually, saying it "sucks" pretty much spoiled it.
I imagine most of these death scenes occurring in a Looney Tunes short starring Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. The only difference is the gore quotient. THE Final Destination (please don't forget the THE. Forgetting the THE overshadows the importance of this treasure of a movie) lays out the guts like some sort of zombie buffet.
It's all in the name of entertainment and fun though. Nobody comes to these movies to watch the hero rise against the odds concocted by the grim reaper. We watch the grim reaper play a human version of mouse trap with the characters. Watch this movie, and you'll see that the grim man himself doesn't forget to add plenty of cheese for his victims, too.
Now in order to better sum up his complete thoughts on this movie, Josh has offered a closing Haiku:
Death is a grim thing
But not with deaths this stupid
Watch it to laugh hard
I'll assume my own rating to Josh's review as he didn't give one. I didn't see the movie, but it sounds like it wasn't quite Hilariously Bad (5), or So Bad it's Funny (4), but still averagely bad enough to be entertaining in it's badness, so I'll give it a...
3 out of 5 on the Reverse Scale.
