Historical Traveler Reviews Nail Bay Resort Spanish Town
Beautiful Sunsets
We have traveled extensively in the Caribbean, and Nail Bay is one of our favorites. We love the low-key atmosphere of Virgin Gorda & that's exactly what you get at Nail Bay. Staff is helpful & very friendly. The very comfortable rooms have amazing sunset views over the ocean and the secluded beaches are just a short walk away. If Nail Bay was more expensive than it is, it would still be a great value. For quiet, privacy & natural beauty, this is the place to go.
Celebrate at Nail Bay
March 30, 2004 We always anticipated spending our 25th Wedding Anniversary in Hawaii.. But when it came right down to it, we chose the Virgin Gorda , B.V.I. over every other location. This year, you can read about Nail Bay Resort in numerous travel books. It� s now � on the map.� But last winter, we only learned of the existence of Nail Bay through Cheap Caribbean. We contacted Nail Bay and found Binny to be extremely patient and helpful. He helped us choose the perfect paradise Villa: Mystic Waters. Our friends from Seattle caught our excitement and decided to join the fun. They happily settled on the extraordinary Sunset Watch. Then my brother and his wife from N.J. chose to join us at Island Time Village. We were all equally satisfied with our housing arrangements. We enjoyed a couple of meals together at The Dog & Dolphin. Friendly staff members were so excited for us celebrating 3 anniversaries together: two 25ths and one 20th. They even dedicated a love song to us, written by a local singer and played it during dinner. The 3 beaches at Nail Bay are magnificent, boasting of some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean- at your doorstep! It is great to sometimes have your own private beach. The grounds, the ruins, and the stonework are all noteworthy, and we have the photos to prove it! Virgin Gorda IS paradise. But you have to see for yourself this unspoiled gem of an island in order to truly appreciate it. Beauty so dazzling it makes you want to write a praise song to our Creator for His artistry on land and on sea� Looking for a place to celebrate an anniversary? A birthday? LIFE ? Skip Hawaii. Book a value vacation at nailbay (Just ask where any construction may be). We also recommend the 3 stop snorkel trip with Double D . Soon we will return to Nail Bay Resort with our 12 yr. old daughter who can� t wait to learn to snorkel! She chose Nail Bay over Disney! We� re also bringing more dear friends to share this adventure with! Joy & Nicholas Long Island, New York
Worth the trip
We just returned from a week at Nail Bay (March 2004) and while yes, the roads are unpaved and yes there is construction...it in no way kept us from having a wonderful week. We rented a jeep (which is a must ) and were able to get around fine-construction was going on but was not a problem for us. The grounds and beaches are beautiful. We stayed in a super deluxe room and it was well laid out and the view of the sunset was wonderful. We brought food with us and shopped at Buck's in Yacht Harbor and were able to prepare our meals in the kitchenette in our room (a grill was provided as well). Not having cable made the week all that more relaxing...a real chance to get away from it all. The beaches of Virgin Gorda are easy to get to, public and well cared for. Our favorite was the beach at Nail Bay and Savannah Bay Beach. Don't miss a chance to take a snorkeling trip with Double D Charters-it was a wonderful day. We left feeling relaxed and like we had had a real get away vacation. We would definitely consider returning to Nail Bay.
Beautiful, but hard to get there!
I have stayed at Nail Bay twice. The first time in May 2001 and recently on my honeymoon in Nov. 2003. A lot had changed during that time. Many more villas and tons of construction. The one thing that hadn't changed was the road leading to nail bay. It is terrrible. We rented a jeep and driving can be very scary there. You're basically on the side of a mountain with no guardrails. Driving to the Northsound is even scarier. We stayed in Sunset Watch lower deck. It was nice with a beautiful view. There was a couple above us with a baby that cried though! We had a pool to share with them. No cable and their movie selection is not very current. The food is great at the dog and dolphin, but overpriced. Benny, the manager, is extremely nice and helpful. Be sure you are on the correct Ferrie schedule to get back to St. Thomas, or you could be waiting on Tortola a while. The Baths are neat, but too touristy. Go to Spring Bay right before the baths. And go to Leverick bay and rent a dinghy. Visit Mosquito island and the ruins of Drake's Anchorage. We saw a baby nurse shark, huge sea turtle, and sting ray all in one day out in the dinghy. Saba Rock's food is not that great. We ran into Morgan Freeman at the Bath and Turtle Pub in Spanish town. He must hang out there alot, his picure was on the wall with the owner and no one was giving him any special treatment.
Savannah Bay is the most beautiful on the island. The beaches at nail bay are rocky and not very pretty. I think Nail Bay will be an awesome resort in about 15 years, but right now the construction is disturbing and the roads are horrible. Of course the price will definatley go up then!
Seclusion at its worst!
My family visited Nail Bay resort during spring break of last year.
During our stay there was some major construction going on, and it was pretty intrusive. We stayed in a villa with two bedrooms and a spectacular view of the water. However, huge yellow bulldozers would obstruct our view most of the time so we couldn't really enjoy it. We were happy with our accomodations and didn't have many complaints about the well furnished villa. The pool at the "resort" is tiny, but we never used it anyway because we were always on the beach, and it wouldn't have been a problem if we had wanted to use the pool because we were virtually the only people there (besides all of the construction workers). The hot tub wasn't working. We rented a jeep and explored the island daily, and we found some really amazing beaches. Be warned...Virgin Gorda is a really tiny island and there isn't much going on. I really wouldn't reccomend this place for a family vacation..it's almost too secluded. We found ourselves going to restaurants and town in search of people! We brought our own snorkeling gear and found some good spots right off the beaches. The Baths are really beautiful, but it's a huge tourist trap. Our kids were actually really excited at the sight of people, but we left after a while and found GORGEOUS beaches just outside The Baths. The roads are really rough and tough, but we dealt with it because we needed adventure! The rooms have VCR's, so bring your own videos! I think the trip will be what you make of it..the island is beautiful with great views and great beaches. If seclusion is your thing...go for it. It's a good place to get away for a few days, but Nail Bay is falsely advertised as a resort when it's really a bunch of villas with some bulldozers and a bar. The place has great potential and in a few years it'll be nice...but if you're looking for action, this isn't the place.
Perfect Seclusion
My family stayed at Nail Bay Resort last year for Spring Break and we loved it! We stayed in one of the villas which was fantastic! It had a large veranda in the front with a pool and barbecue pits and we used it the to sunbathe, and watch the gorgeous sunsets at night. The beaches are outstanding here! The water is crystal clear and there are so many different varieties of fish and coral. My family particularly loved Savannah Bay's beach, which has turquoise waters and white, white sand.
There were times when we were the only people on this beach. One day we also hiked up the peak and when we got to the top, the view was breathtaking. You could see all the way to Anegada and there was a stunning view of Tortola and many small islands that also beklong in the British Virgin Islands. If you travel to Virgin Gorda, you should definitely visit the Baths. We went in the morning when it is not nearly as crowded as it is in the afternoon. The snorkeling is excellent here. We saw so many beautiful types of fish and coral. I would recommend bringing a water-proof camera--we got beautiful pictures!! I must inform you though that the Baths is particularly popular with boaters and is very crowded in the afternoons. Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Nail Bay on Virgin Gorda. Many people have mentioned construction, but there seemed to be none going on during our visit in 2003. I would reccomend visiting here if you are looking for seclusion, and relaxation. This island is a gorgeous piece of paradise!!
We loved the resort but it is for certain types of people!
We just returned from our honeymoon at Nail Bay Resort (Oct 26-Nov 2).
It was the end of the slow season so it was not crowded at all. We really liked it- but it does have it's pitfalls if you don't like certain things. First of all the island of Virgin Gorda is dry, rocky, beautiful and very small. It was much more dry and rural than I expected. The roads all over the island are not very good; poorly paved and extremely steep in many areas. You have to have guts to drive here, but we rented a jeep for the whole time and thought of it as an adventure! I was nervous many of the times we were driving but you really do need to rent a jeep if you want to go out and about and find some secluded beaches. There is good taxi service all over the island though.
Re Nail Bay, you need a jeep because the resort is several miles off the main road and the roads become pretty steep and very dusty. This resort is actually pieces of land that are being bought by private owners and some houses are being built a few at a time. The management company on site then rents them out to people like us. We chose the Sundowner suite- which is a guesthouse off of another house. There was no one staying at the larger house, which was above us, and it was a wonderful experience! The Sundowner overlooks the ocean and there are a few steps down to the beach. You can't really swim right there because it is too rocky. We just drove to Savannah Bay every day because it was much nicer for swimming. The Sundowner has it's own plunge pool, a huge deck, beautiful furnishings inside and out, an indoor bathroom but outdoor covered shower, a full kitchen and a huge wooden bed! We were really impressed with how nice it was. It was extremely private and we did not see anyone while we were in the Sundowner. They also provide maid service every day. If someone was staying above you in the main house it might not be the same thing.
There is construction going on and sometimes we had to wait a few minutes for the road to clear from construction vehicles. At the Sundowner, we were not bothered by construction but if you stay in some other areas it may be bothersome. Make sure you ask about that when you reserve. Also- there were several units that were pretty high up in the hills so make sure you ask and get the type of area that you want. We found the management to be pretty friendly- not overly so- and a bit relaxed in the way they do things- it might bother some people (remember,you're on island time). This resort is not the type of place to go if you want to be pampered- it is for self-sufficient people! We really loved it- we drove on the rough roads, were all by ourselves in a beautiful cottage, and did things ourselves. [comments from husband; there is definately a certain type of crowd that enjoys the solitude and relaxed mentality it takes to have an enjoyable time on an island in the Carribean the size of Virgin Gorda, again, if you're the "Four Seasons cater to your every whim" type, you'll probably not enjoy it.
On the other hand, if you're into exploring caves (the baths) or a spirited drive around the island (stay on the left), or even better, catching a few ferry boats to the neighboring islands (Jost Van Dyke is highly recommended),then this is for you! Mosquitos were a minor bother, and the huge lizards are really cool]
p.s. the construction workers usually knocked off work by 3:00-4:00 even if you knew they were there.
Overall we had a really fantastic time and would visit Nail Bay again.
More Than Nails at Nail Bay
Nail Bay is a construction site with a bar. People were pleasant enough, but there is constant truck traffic, horrible roads, continuous contstruction noise during the day, unfinished amenities (like a path to the beaches), a very long walk down the construction road to the beach (unless you stay in a beach villa), and very little resort feeling. The parking spot was not even finished at the village. This may some day be an eclectic neighborhood on Virgin Gorda, but certainly does not qualify as a resort. On the good side, the restaurant had just hired a new chef. Food was fresh and well prepared.
Needs improvement
We recently stayed a the Mystic Water suite at Nail Bay resort and were very disappointed. Our room was fairly clean but the place needed some serious maintenance. The walls were dirty, the furniture was stained and well-used. When it rained the celing leaked and water drained under the front door flooding the kitchen. We were offered another room but it did not have the same perks as the one we reserved (private pool, great view). Management needs classes in customer service. They never apologized for the leaks, and were not helpful in arranging activities. Most of the staff were friendly, but just seemed to not care about our disappointment. Other rooms at the resort are in better shape, but it's a mixed bag. Lots of construction going on. Roads are terrible. Food at the resort was average and breakfast was boring, with outdated and stale offerings. Go elsewhere to eat.
A nice resort with a few problems
My wife and I were disappointed with our stay at Nail Bay, especially after we had read some nice reviews on line. When we were at the resort (December 2002) they were in a major
rebuilding phase - and we heard it!
The pool and bar area was closed at the time and both were under reconstruction. That was OK and the resort made other arrangements for food, but we were staying in a condo about 35 feet from the construction site. The management was very understanding and moved us to a villa, but even the villa was only a short distance from another villa that was under construction. We had a beautiful view while we had to listen to a cement mixer running 6 - 8 hours a day down the road.
The resort plans to have several dozen villas built over the next few years so you should check whether you will be staying next to a construction site when you make a reservation.
Besides that - it was fine. The staff is friendly, the food is good, and the beaches are amazing. The resort is secluded so you'll need to rent a Jeep to get to the rest of the Island.
Nail Bay is a bargain right now, and when it has completed it's construction it will be a great resort.

All About Gold
Gold Peeps are pure fun and excitement. Follow our tracks and share your ideas on these social media outlets:
About Us
Gold Peeps is a Cyber1 Network Media publication focused on Gold history and introducing Gold Mining as a productive hobby.
Affiliate Gold Sites
If you want to learn more about how to find gold, also see our affiliate sites ProspectCA.com , FreeOro.com., TrailPeeps.com and CyberNugget.com
Since the sites launch, I have had several fellow prospectors's ask why I'm publishing GoldPeeps.com. Most prospectors I know are seeking hard core, actionable gold mining and prospecting information, not fluff. They having a difficult time appreciating the focus of the Gold Peeps site, as it being generalized and entertaining to a broader target audience. Perhaps if I explain my background and rationale, it will make more sense. First, I am a recreational gold miner and prospector in southern California with about 7 years of experience. In this field, that still makes me an amateur greenhorn, even with a handful of nuggets and gold vials filled to my credit. If I came across GoldPeeps.com, I too wouldn't give it much thought and tossed off as another "49ers" gimmick travel site. But then, GoldPeeps isn't only for me, its for the community. Fort the recreational gold prospecting and mining community at large. Its a social site. GoldPeeps.com is first about people (peeps). Then its about gold, and attempts brings the two together for the benefit of the activity. Admitting ,with the media technology the result is a bit campy.
Again let me explain the objectives and benefits to the community. GoldPeeps.com seeks to introduce the activity of recreational gold prospecting and mining to a broader audience than the traditional outdoor enthusiast for several important reasons:
1. To educate the public and government that recreational gold prospecting and mining
is a large and growing, active and involved community that does more to care about
the environmt. Education about the scope of recreational mining influences, benefits
of methods employed and best practices afforded by miners. For instance, many people
concerned about the environment do not realize that gold sluicing actually remove
captures and removes the most harmful pollutants in the rivers, and it is in the
miners interest to target and remove these heavy metal concentrates. Information
such as this will make awareness to and help preserve our rights to prospect and
mine gold, and to maintain access to public gold bearing territory. The community
is under siege considering the assault on recreational mining's legislated provisions
and extreme limitations and access to public land. To survive, recreational miners
need to harness media outlets and introduce everyday people to what the recreational
gold and the greater gold industry is about so when restrictive legislation is introduced
the community will be counted as significant and growing, and recognized as a positive
and beneficial force in society. Not an impossible task considering that a minority
band of Salmon anglers effectivly outlawed recreational gold dredging -
2. To embrace newcomers and amateurs in the activity by shine the light on the dark corners of prospecting. To cover aspects of prospecting and mining often kept hidden by prospectors and secret like a family recipe or magicians trick. To reveal and share techniques, methods and develop best practices. To share what works and what doesn't in particular hot spots, and and offer insights about specific claims and gold bearing regions. The advantage of the community by sharing lessons learned by the experienced to the novice is so that preferred practices are installed at the start (proper nail and metallic debris removal when detecting) that will benefit all who follow in their path. In addition information sharing reduces frustration and abandonment, less effect to the environment with needless trial and error, and increased public safety. Reward always go to those who put the effort in to dig it out, not to those who maintain a secret well and leave it untouched. From what little I have gleaned, the EFFORT is the SECRET to success.
3. Because everyday city peeps also are curious. The social networking types. They
expect a slick, fun and entertaining place to discover what the "recreational gold
mining activity" is about. Because every time I go out, I get someone over my shoulder
saying "what'cha doing?" when picking away shoulder high in a pit. Two hours jawing
and a couple of cokes later, I get to go back to work... I thought it would be easy
to say, "check out GoldPeeps!". From their initial expectation, its all about gold.
From the gold investment ads on CNN to gold on their finger -
While Gold Peeps leverages social networking and entertainment to introduce people
into the site we capture their interest for the long haul with the alluring atmosphere
of gold in history and potentials afforded to the imagination through the mental
images created of recreational gold mining prompted by the sites media. Published
DIY plans for equipment and your gold sampling advice is enough to open the door
for many, others need inspiration, coaching and guidance. Suggested back road adventures,
recommended organizations such as the GPAA and sites like NuggetShooter, and affiliate
publications (ProspectCA.com and FreeOro.com) will further the interest by offering

GoldPeeps.com: What's the Aim?
Gold prospecting is certainly exciting, however gold mining can also be profitable.
Its hard work, yet there is no better satisfaction than cashing in on your recreational
efforts. Anybody who has found any amount of natural gold knows it takes determination
and perseverance to make it pay. Key to remember is most, more than most: greater
than 99% of all gold on earth STILL resides naturally in nature, even in mass yet
it has not been found. Why? Not for lack of trying, its just we don't have easy access
to where most free gold lies. That's because it exists underfoot, in most cases
many feet underfoot. Consider for instance the Mohave Desert in CA , I a vast basin

in many surrounding mountains where bedrock comes to the surface, however substantially
less has been found in the desert basin. This is because gold's most extra-

Jerry Seinfeld Enjoys Serenity Now as An Author, Documentary Star, Husband and New Father. You've Gotta See the Baby!
Surely a fan can't be faulted for dreaming up scenarios to put Jerry Seinfeld back in prime time, especially considering the lame premises of the two short-lived sitcoms starring Seinfeld alums Michael Richards and Jason Alexander. But four years after his groundbreaking NBC sitcom retired with a send-off audience of 70 million, Seinfeld doesn't see himself as must-see TV. "I've kind of graduated from show business," he recently told The New York Times.
After all, the guy is rich, with an estimated worth of $250 million, plus a $4.5 million, 3,500-sq.-ft. apartment in Manhattan and a hangar in Santa Monica to house his collection of Porsches. Most days he idles away the morning in his office, refracting ideas into jokes through the great whimsical prism of his mind. Then he's free to take his daughter Sascha, who turns 2 on Nov. 7, out for a play date. Or to pull a baseball cap down over his thinning hair—cut shorter than it used to be—and pop into Zabar's food emporium for a snack. "He knows the names of all the counter people," says one of them. "He likes Norwegian salmon." Says Carolyn Liebling, 50, his sister and business manager: "When you have the kind of success Jerry had on Seinfeld, you can never go back."
But Seinfeld, now 48, is definitely rolling forward. More than a year into the sold-out tour that has returned him to his stand-up roots, Seinfeld is the star of a small $500,000 movie, Comedian, a behind-the-scenes documentary about how he developed the act by trying out new material at small, noisy clubs. "My perception is that Jerry was a stand-up comedian for years and years," says his friend, Tonight Show host Jay Leno, "and then for 10 percent of his life, he did a TV show." Will Seinfeld fans find it ticket-worthy? "Who knows," says friend and fellow comic Colin Quinn, who appears in the film. "It's sure not some damned Harrison Ford submarine movie."
No matter: Seinfeld also has three new American Express TV commercials taxiing on the runway. And—a sign that the man whose sitcom mocked ugly babies has softened—there's an illustrated kids' book, Halloween, featuring a little Jerry in trick-or-treat overdrive. ("Someone's giving out candy? Who's giving out candy? Everyone we know is just giving out candy? I gotta be a part of this!") With 325,000 copies sold in less than a month, "it's a testament to people's hunger for something by Jerry," says his friend, book producer Byron Preiss, who came up with the idea based on a Seinfeld stand-up bit.
But that's work stuff. More exciting to Seinfeld is that he and his wife of three years, Jessica, 31, a former publicist who now runs her own children's charity, are expecting their second baby in February. Seinfeld's daughter Sascha "is the focus of his heart," says longtime friend and manager George Shapiro. He keeps her photo neatly tucked away in his wallet but recently took it out to show Miramax cochairman Harvey Weinstein, whose company is distributing Comedian. "He's funny," says Weinstein, "talking about the baby and the baby to come. He's become a family man." Seinfeld has even made parenthood part of the act. Performing recently in Pittsburgh, he told the crowd, "When your eyes meet those eyes...I never loved anyone so much at first meeting." As the audience cooed, he shifted gears: "But! Let's make no mistake why these babies come here: To replace us. We'll see who's wearing the diapers when all this is over." Still, Comedian shows him with Sascha in the green room of David Letterman's Late Show: He lulls her to sleep singing an old Cracker Jack jingle. "That one little girl laughing," he told the Times, "is better than 3,000 people."
Most nights on the road he hops into his private jet and flies home so he can be there in the morning to greet Sascha when she wakes. "I've seen him change a couple diapers," says his sister. "I've seen him pretty much doing everything." After Sept. 11, he brought Sascha along to pay his respects at the fire station in his Upper West Side neighborhood. "He came by with some brownies his wife made," says a firefighter at Engine 74. Thanks to his new family, says his manager, "Jerry's life is so much more substantial."
To his sister, Seinfeld is still "in recovery" from Seinfeld, which debuted in July 1989. For nearly a decade, "he worked 18, 20 hours a day. It was unbelievable." Freed from the shackles of prime time, he wanted a happier commitment. "He was anxious to be married," says Liebling. Anxious in the worst way, it seemed at the time: Seinfeld, who previously dated Shoshanna Lonstein (now 27 and a designer), was first publicly linked with his wife in 1998-three weeks after her wedding to Broadway theater heir Eric Nederlander. (Nederlander quickly filed for divorce.) But it would be a mistake to think Seinfeld, who wed Jessica in 1999, rushed in recklessly, says Quinn: "Jerry doesn't enter into anything lightly." The couple, he adds, who sometimes escape to the Long Island mansion Seinfeld bought from Billy Joel for $35 million in 2000, "have that comfortable thing, a quiet joking. There's just that vibe."
Of course, some things haven't changed. "If you ask him about candy, it's still a very thoughtful subject," says Preiss of his friend (who, by the way, scarfs Twizzlers). "It's not like you go behind doors with him and he's calling his broker. He's still an adolescent at heart." Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Edit your yum.conf (/etc/yum.conf) and uncomment (remove the #) the
development branch. If you're just using the default yum.conf, I highly
suggest you check out www.fedorafaq.org go to the FC2 section and
download their yum.conf. You can then update using their yum.conf
without replacing your original by yum -c /path/to/downloaded/yum.conf

Lab used Ted Williams' head for batting practice
The New York Daily News is reporting that workers at an Arizona cryonics facility mutilated the frozen head of baseball legend Ted Williams by dismantling it from his body and then using it for batting practice.
Here are some of the bizarre details:
In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former exec at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., graphically describes how The Splendid Splinter" was beheaded, his head frozen and repeatedly abused.
The book, out Tuesday from Vanguard Press, tells how Williams' corpse became "Alcorian A-1949" at the facility, where bodies are kept suspended in liquid nitrogen in case future generations learn how to revive them.
Johnson writes that in July 2002, shortly after the Red Sox slugger died at age 83, technicians with no medical certification gleefully photographed and used crude equipment to decapitate the majors' last .400 hitter.
Williams' severed head was then frozen, and even used for batting practice by a technician trying to dislodge it from a tuna fish can.
The chief operating officer of Alcor for eight months before becoming a whistleblower in 2003, Johnson wrote his book while in hiding, fearful for his life.
Johnson writes that holes were drilled in Williams' severed head for the insertion of microphones, then frozen in liquid nitrogen while Alcor employees recorded the sounds of Williams' brain cracking 16 times as temperatures dropped to -321 degrees Fahrenheit.
Johnson writes that the head was balanced on an empty can of Bumble Bee tuna to keep it from sticking to the bottom of its case.
Johnson describes watching as another Alcor employee removed Williams' head from the freezer with a stick, and tried to dislodge the tuna can by swinging at it with a monkey wrench.
The technician, no .406 hitter like the baseball legend, missed the can with several swings of the wrench and smacked Williams' head directly, spraying "tiny pieces of frozen head" around the room.
Johnson accuses the company of joking morbidly about mailing Williams' thawing remains back to his family if his son didn't pay his outstanding debt to the company.
I don't even know where to begin with this. How can somebody be so sick, twisted and inhumane? Forget for a second that this was one of the greatest baseball players of all time – the actions of these people are just downright sick and creepy.
This is something straight out of a freaking Quentin Tarantino movie.

FOX news just said that the Keys will be getting a direct hit with winds at 150 mph...I sure hope they evacuated. Any idea on high tide and when he is suppose to cross over. I am just curious what kind of damage he can cause on our islands down there.
Yeah, people in the Panhandle aren't joking with him. My former boss in Pensacola is packing up the family and heading elsewhere. They lost their house in Ivan and don't want to be around if Dennis makes his way up there.
FOX news just said that the Keys will be getting a direct hit with winds at 150 mph...
Most shelters are not strong enough for a catagory 3. In Pensacola, the civic center lost iys roof during Ivan. They are better than a mobile home but if you are out of storm surge a good built house is safer.
FOX news just said that the Keys will be getting a direct hit with winds at 150 mph....
The most interesting thing in the discussion was the comment about the deepening trough to the west and a couple of the models getting a handle on that: creating a slight deviation to the right in the solution...about 40 miles worth it looks like.
watching the water vapor suggests the jet is clearly now setting up cutting across the northern expense of the peninsula at the Big Bend area...this is the kind of thing which falls into my OOPS factor and if this is in fact deepening...well how many ways can we spell Charley, only this time further up the coast...??/ I am CONCERNED on this point and wish one of our Mets could address it....
Also the satellite presentation is showing an elongation to the NNW which is often an indicator of future direction...
The radar presentation shows steady progress directly toward the site.
I love the box you added to the forecast track map with the storm making landfall right on top of Jim Cantore. A little gallows humor?
I just heard that 60% of the locals in Key West are staying.I just don't understand that.

On a day when Chicago and Boston are digging out after a massive snowfall, it's hard to believe it will ever be warm again. But groundhog Punxsutawney Phil has spoken – and he says spring is nearly here.
At the annual Groundhog Day celebration this morning in Punxsutawney, Pa., Phil was gently lifted from his sleep spot to perform his duties. "He surveyed his surroundings carefully and found that there was no shadow around. So an early spring it will be," a tuxedoed member of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle announced. "The sky is clear, prepare yourself for warmth."
This morning marked Phil's 125th prediction, stemming from a tradition that began in 1887. Though there have been several Phils over the years – the Inner Circle doesn't reveal how many – the revered rodent has seen his shadow 98 times, and hasn't seen it just 16 times. Record keeping of the event didn't begin until 1900.
For what it's worth, New York City's own groundhog, Staten Island Chuck, agreed with Phil's forecast. Could two weather-predicting rodents really be wrong?

When about a dozen Eagles players gathered in South Jersey on Wednesday for informal workouts, Mike Kafka was the first to arrive.
The quarterback sat in his modest Nissan sedan until the rest of the group arrived in their Lexuses, Range Rovers, and supersize trucks. Eagles fans who had scouted out the practice location then emerged from out of nowhere and flocked to the players for autographs like bees to pollen.
Virtually unnoticed, Kafka simply laced up his cleats at his car, walked to the field, and went to work. The moment, in essence, reflected his rookie season of near anonymity as the Eagles' third quarterback.

Lipidleggin'Friday, February 1st, 2013
Whoohoo! Somebody has made a video adaptation of F. Paul Wilson's 1978 story, "Lipidleggin'."
Wilson (a physician when he's not writing great, freedom-tinged supernatural fiction) wrote it back in the day when the fedgov insisted margarine was just the healthiest thing in the whole, wide world — which somehow makes it even more amusing now.
Thanks to Jim Bovard for finding and sharing the link with me on what appears to be the very first day the video went on YouTube. And thanks to John Marc Green & Company for making it.

By Skip Vaughn, AMCOM/Garrison Public and Congressional Affairs June 29, 2011
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- PS Magazine has entered its golden years. The 60th anniversary of the Army's preventive maintenance monthly, which uses comic book art to provide technical information for Soldiers, was celebrated Monday with a ceremony in Bob Jones Auditorium.
"PS Magazine, congratulations on your 60th anniversary," keynote speaker Lt. Gen. Dennis Via, deputy commander of the Army Materiel Command, said. "Best wishes for continued success."
"Sixty years," Paul Fitzgerald, the magazine's first managing editor, said. "How sweet it sounds. It has a ring to it."
Col. Robert "Pat" Sullivan, commander of AMC"s Logistics Support Activity, said: "Happy birthday, PS Magazine."
PS Magazine artist Joe Kubert, a noted comic-book artist and winner of a Will Eisner Hall of Fame Award, has held the publication contract since February 2001 and has contract options through 2016.
"We have to be innovative and creative, interesting and accurate," Kubert said.
PS Magazine, is the Army Technical Bulletin 43-PS-series. The monthly bulletin publishes supply and maintenance information that enables operators, maintenance and supply personnel to maintain Army equipment at high readiness rates. It also answers roughly 2,500 queries annually from Soldiers and DA civilians about maintenance and supply issues.
The magazine warns Soldiers about the effects of heat, cold, water, sand, vibration, friction, metal fatigue, and corrosion on equipment. PS directs its articles toward the conditions that deployed Soldiers serve in during times of conflict.
PS covers a wide range of equipment in every issue, including: combat vehicles and heavy weapons; tactical wheeled vehicles and MRAP/route clearance vehicles; aircraft and missiles; construction and engineer equipment; small arms and crew-served weapons; communications and electronics, CBRN, and TMDE equipment; Soldier support equipment from tents and kitchens to uniforms and body armor; and, supply and logistics management topics.
The magazine provides HQDA G-4, US Army Materiel Command and its subordinate commands a medium for quickly getting maintenance information to company and battalion-level personnel in clear, highly focused and highly readable language with the use of cartoon characters, animated equipment, and the techniques of sequential art.
Editor's Note: Additional information was added from the Army's feature Stand-To on PS magazine, written by Jonathan W. Pierce.

JACKSON, MI — The only Jackson-area business dating back to the days of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War is Brown Floral Company, Inc., located at 908 Greenwood Ave, across from Mount Evergreen Cemetery.
Founded in 1865 by Frederick "Fritz" Von Kompf, the business has remained in the same family since its inception. It is currently owned by sisters Chris Grostefon and Diana Jones, great-granddaughters of Von Kompf.
Today the business is known for its wide range of quality goods and services, Grostefon said.
"We're a full-service florist," Grostefon said. "We do funeral flowers, weddings, banquets and events. Whatever anybody wants us to do, we'll do it. … We take good care of our customers."
The business delivers throughout Jackson County. If an order comes from outside the county, Brown Floral can make delivery arrangements through its wire services.
Address: 908 Greenwood Ave., Jackson
Type of Business: Flower shop
Owners: Chris Grostefon and Diana Jones
Number of Employees: Seven
Serving Community: 1865
Business Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30 to 5:30; Wednesday and Saturday 8:30 to noon; closed Sunday.
Contact Info: Phone: 517-787-2535; website: brownfloralco.com
Here are five things you probably didn't know about Brown Floral Company:
• Brown Floral is Jackson County's oldest business, Grostefon said. It is also Michigan's oldest florist company still operated by the same family in its original location.
• The business is housed in the original building from the 1860s. "I have a basement that goes down three levels," Grostefon said. "It was a fallout shelter in the 1960s."
• Brown Floral has a 3,000-square-foot greenhouse. Grostefon said the greenhouse requires "a lot of water and a lot of gas. Consumers (Energy) loves us. … That's why you see that most florists now don't have greenhouses. It's very expensive. But we love our greenhouse and that's what brings people in. There's nothing better than the greenhouse on a sunny day; especially in the middle of winter."
• If someone requests a special flower or plant, Grostefon said she and her staff will go out of their way to fulfill that request. "About 10 years ago, one of my customers wanted to do a Hawaiian luau funeral for his mother," she said. "I got a hold of somebody in Hawaii, and I had (flowers) overnighted here and we did a luau funeral; the whole thing, the blanket spray; all of the arrangements were tropicals right in from Hawaii. That was cool. … We'll go that far for people."
• The staff is in the process of turning the front portion of the store into a museum to commemorate the shop's rich history. Many of the elements of the museum are already in place. They include antique signs, flower baskets, cash registers, pricing guns, leather-bound flower books, thermometers, stamps, cemetery receipts, photos and more.

Bill aims to tighten restrictions on painkiller hydrocodone
Focused on "America's most abused narcotic," congressional lawmakers introduced legislation last week that would place tighter restrictions on the painkiller hydrocodone, which is a key contributor to the nation's prescription drug death epidemic.
Sold under the brand names Vicodin, Norco and Lortab, hydrocodone-based medications "are some of the most potent and addictive narcotics on the market," U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., said in a statement.
Buchanan is one of four lawmakers -- two Republicans and two Democrats -- who introduced the Safe Prescribing Act of 2013. The unusual display of bipartisan support extended to more than 40 additional members of Congress from both parties who signed on as co-sponsors.
Prescription drugs -- primarily narcotic painkillers such as hydrocodone -- cause or contribute to more deaths than heroin and cocaine combined.
As a result, drug fatalities have surpassed deaths from motor vehicle crashes, long the leading cause of accidental death in the United States.
A Los Angeles Times analysis of 3,733 prescription drug-related fatalities in Southern California from 2006 through 2011 found that hydrocodone was involved in 945 of the deaths, more than any other prescription medication.
The restrictions follow those recommended by a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel in January.

STATEMENT OF JASON McVEIGH
"On Sept. 9, Inquoris Johnson sustained a traumatic injury to the nerves and blood vessels of his right brachial plexus while making a tackle versus Air Force. Initial surgery was performed the morning of Sept. 10 by Dr. David Cassada at UT Medical Center to successfully correct Mr. Johnson's vascular injury.
"Since that time, Mr. Johnson has been receiving daily physical therapy by the UT Sports Medicine staff to restore full range of motion to his right shoulder and arm.
"Mr. Johnson, his family and representatives from the UT Athletics Department recently were flown to Rochester, Minn., to meet with specialists at the Mayo Clinic and to undergo further diagnostic testing and evaluations. Mr. Johnson is scheduled for reconstructive brachial plexus surgery on his right shoulder and arm at the Mayo Clinic on Dec. 21. The surgery will be performed by Drs. Bishop, Shin and Spinner.
"At this time, no decisions have been made regarding Mr. Johnson's playing status on the UT football team.
"I very much appreciate everyone's respect and patience with this whole scenario. It's been tough for everyone concerned, but mostly on Inky, his family and our football team.
"I also appreciate the outstanding response and care that Inky has gotten as we've gone through this process. But most of all, I appreciate his attitude and work ethic to recover to the fullest possibility that's out there for him.
"Inky Johnson and his family are what college football and the term student-athletes are all about. He's the ultimate team guy and someone who we have just tremendous respect for and want the very best of everything in life for him."
"I first want to thank everyone -- my teammates, the coaches, the medical staff and the fans -- for the tremendous support and encouragement they have been to my family and me.
"I also appreciate you in the media and the general public for your patience in allowing me to go through this process of gathering information that will be helpful in explaining what has occurred since my injury.
"I'm just glad to get a scheduled date for surgery. As for me, it is an everyday process of being positive and working with our sports medicine staff to get better."
In addition, Fulmer decided that Johnson will serve as an honorary captain for Saturday's game against Alabama.
"I think this is a nice way to honor him on a special Saturday for the Tennessee people," Fulmer said. "He's a wonderful young person, and we're glad to be able to do this."

A Story of God's Faithfulness
Sermon shared by David Owens
September 2005
Summary: Naomi and Ruth discover that God is a faithful God.
Series: God�s Faithfulness and Ours
Scripture: Ruth 1:1-4:16 (add scripture)

A. For the past two weeks we have been trying to develop a deeper appreciation for the faithfulness of the God we serve.
1. The Bible declares that he is characterized by faithfulness.
a. In Exodus 34:6, God says of himself, �The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.�
2. Scripture also reveals the fact that God is faithful to his promises.
a. Joshua told the people of Israel, �You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled�� (Josh. 23:14)
3. In today�s lesson I hope that we can reinforce the lessons we have been learning over the past few weeks by looking at the story of God�s faithfulness as told in the book of Ruth.
4. The story of Ruth is told in a small, four chapter book sandwiched between Judges and 1 Samuel in the OT.
B. I want to begin by drawing our attention to a striking phrase in our Scripture reading from the book of Ruth - "The Lord came to the aid of his people" (1:6).
1. The King James Version puts it: "The Lord has visited his people."
2. I think that it is fair to say that all of us have known the problems as well as the joys of life - and they come at all stages in life�s journey.
3. During those times, have you ever been tempted to ask: "Where is God?"
4. When faced daily by more deadly news from Bagdad, or the death toll and destruction from the hurricane Katrina, we wonder � Where is God?
5. The matter becomes even more pressing when we are faced with our suffering and losses in life?
C. There�s nothing like a story to bring to life the issues of this tension between God�s way and the way of the world, of searching for the pathway of faith in times when evil seems rampant and life seems unmanageable.
1. A practical example of God in action can be of enormous benefit in sustaining the believer and enabling him or her to cope with the uncertainties and apparent meaninglessness of much of what we experience.
2. I trust that each of us will be able to identify with the Bible story of Naomi and Ruth in some personal and practical way.
3. Whatever our circumstances, I believe that all of us can benefit from their experience with a faithful God.
4. The book of Ruth has been called "the most beautiful short story in the world."
5. In many respects, it deals with ordinary people and unimportant matters.
6. Yet it deals with them in such a way as to show that God is active in the affairs of human beings.
7. God works his purposes out and blesses them that trust in him.
8. If its message had to be summarized in one word, it could be the word "faithfulness", in the sense that God is there - God cares, God rules and God provides.
9. Faith in such a God is the common factor to all the incidents in the book.
10. As we look at the experience of Naomi, we will be able to trace the work of God�s faithful care.
D. The story occurs during

It was a delayed reaction to having heard her medical diagnosis – that she had breast cancer – that made Christina Applegate cry, she says.
With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Samantha Who? star, 36, spoke candidly with Oprah Winfrey on a special installment of The Oprah Winfrey Show set to air Tuesday. On it, Applegate discusses her recent radical mastectomy.
"So you just made the decision that you were gonna let both go," Winfrey asks the actress, in reference to the decision to have both breasts removed.
"Yep. I was just gonna let them go," says Applegate, who then says, when asked if she cried, "You know, I – at first I didn't. And then when I met with my doctor and I told him that was my decision and he brought the surgeon in and it was like the flood gates just opened up and I – I lost it.
In terms of first receiving her diagnosis (something "you don't want to hear … ever"), Applegate recalls the doctor's words as, " 'It came back positive.' And I just – like right now I'm sitting here shaking remembering that moment. As you guys know, you don't think it's gonna happen to me."
Mother Also Had Cancer, TwiceApplegate appears on the program with Nancy Brinker, who started Susan G. Komen For the Cure, which supports breast-cancer research and is named for Nancy Brinker's sister, who died of the disease in 1980.
As she has in the past, Applegate also spoke of her 67-year-old mother, who twice survived breast cancer and whom her daughter refers to as " a quiet warrior."
"She's had it twice and there was this part of me that sort of knew that the other shoe was gonna drop," Applegate tells Winfrey.

Boys golf | Mercer Island fall sports previews
COACH: Tyson Peters
LAST SEASON: The young Islanders went 2-5 in regular season matches, finishing in fifth place at the KingCo tournament. Islander James Gendreau qualified for the state tournament, the only member of the team to qualify.
STRENGTHS: "We're very young, but I'm feeling optimistic," said Tyson Peters. "It's definitely a rebuilding year for us. Last year we were holding on to a few upperclassmen, but now we don't have a lot anymore, so it's looking at here's what we have to develop. I see a lot of potential. This year is exciting to see where they can get, and our job is going to be motivating them to play."
FOCUS: "Really, we've been assessing where everyone is and taking it from there," said Peters. "They are very raw, and there is a lot to teach, but that for us as coaches is exciting."
CAPTAINS: Juniors Josh Graham and Eric Kim.
"I think Josh and Eric are going to be really good captains," said their coach. "They will do a good job of leading the team."
"I feel like we have a lot of fun and know each other well," said Kim, which he hopes will help them on the course this season.
MATCH TO WATCH: "The powerhouse this year is the same as last year — Interlake," said Peters. "They will be tough to beat."
"Bellevue and Interlake, because they were so strong last year," said Graham.
