Republicans and many Democrats are eager to have a fully functioning USTR in order to complete negotiations for a TransPacific trade agreement and U.S.-European Union pact. To finish these agreements, the Obama administration is expected to push for expanded trade negotiating authority from Congress this year.
Such authority would limit the ability of Congress to change or delay approval of trade pacts, giving foreign governments confidence that negotiated agreements will stand. Experts say such confidence is needed to ensure all sides give their last, best offers at the bargaining table.

On Thursday, three weeks after the Supreme Court eviscerated campaign finance laws by ruling that corporations can spend unlimited amounts of money in political campaigns, the Democratic leadership in Congress finally unveiled a legislative response. Scattered Democrats, like Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) and John Hall (D-N.Y.) had been criticizing the decision and suggesting legal remedies for weeks. But today's effort has the backing of Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a top Senate Democrat, and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Nancy Pelosi's right-hand man, making it as close to an "official" Democratic response as we've seen so far. The legislative framework proposed by Schumer and Van Hollen doesn't call for public financing of elections, but it's a pretty solid response* that includes the following:
The ban on expenditures by Federal contractors and the public disclosure requirements (including Stand By Your Ad, which would require CEOs and donors to say "I'm ____, and I paid for this ad") are probably the most important parts of this. Lots of companies do business with the Federal government, and a blanket ban on expenditures by that group would prevent, for example, defense contractors from banding together to oppose candidates who wanted to cut military spending. And most companies don't want to get too publicly involved in political controversies—so disclosure requirements might be a somewhat-effective deterrent. Still, the companies that are absolutely determined to spend money on political campaigns aren't going to be stopped by any of this. That would require a constitutional amendment. Lawrence Lessig says that's exactly what America needs. What do you think?
*UPDATE, 4:45pm EST: I tend to respect Lessig's judgment on a lot of these issues, and he just sent out an email calling the response "In a word: hopeless." The Schumer/Van Hollen package "is filled with ideas that either won't work or that, if they worked, would only invite the Supreme Court to strike again," he argues. Full text after the jump.
The Democratic leadership in Congress just announced its response to the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United, the case that struck down limits on independent corporate campaign expenditures.
In a word: hopeless.
The package the Democrats are proposing is filled with ideas that either won't work or that, if they worked, would only invite the Supreme Court to strike again. (For a description of the proposed changes and my reactions to them, click here or scroll to the bottom of this email.)
Congress had a chance to do something real here, but rather than supporting a bold reform that would make our democracy function better, they failed; they changed nothing. And as a result, our representatives' dependency on campaign funders -- the central corrupting force acting on our government -- will continue for another day.
You know why it happened this way. Members of Congress have every incentive to preserve a system that keeps them in office by keeping their campaign coffers full. So the very same funders who've blocked progress on issue after issue for decades have now conspired to block a reform that would have made those other reforms possible.
What we need to do is show members of Congress that they're also dependent on another constituency: the voters. We're following this issue. We know the difference between fake reform and real reform. And come November, we'll make our decisions based on who had the courage to stand up to the funders, and who tried to sell America a bill of goods while protecting the status quo.
The Fair Elections Now Act is the reform we need, and we still have the chance to push Congress to pass it. So far, 135 Members of the House have signed on as co-sponsors, but we must continue to urge all of our representatives to support this crucial bill. You can use our simple tool to email your members of Congress and tell them that this issue won't fly under the radar in 2010:
If the Democratic Party wants to lead, then they need to show us they're ready to lead. And if the Republican Party wants to rise back to power, they need to prove they'd use that power to enact the will of the people.
Please take action today to make real reform possible.
-- Lawrence Lessig
P.S. These are the changes the Democratic leadership proposes, and my view about each. As you read these, ask yourself: Will this change reform the fundraising Congress? Will it really make Members of Congress any less dependent on special interests?
(1) Ban foreign corporations from influencing elections.
This is a fine idea. Problem is that it is completely unclear how under the Supreme Court's reasoning this change would be constitutional. The Court said the First Amendment doesn't care who is trying to exercise the right to speak -- that the First Amendment simply limits the government's power to regulate speech. So how will it find foreigners have less freedom than corporations?
(2) Stop government contractors or TARP recipients who haven't repaid from political spending.
This selective regulation is Supreme Court bait: it wasn't imposed on TARP recipients when they took the money, and my bet is the Court views the government contractors limitation as too broad.
(3) Impose new disclosure requirements, so that the ultimate funder is exposed.
A perfectly fine regulation, but to what effect? Will the disclosure really make Members less dependent on the funders?
(4) Impose new disclaimers on TV ads.
Same point as above.
(5) Require candidates to have reasonable access to air time.
This is promising and important, though the Court has signaled increasing impatience with this sort of regulation. So again, an uncertain reform of limited effect.

Kruk and Miller talk about the offensivelly listless Giants after a 3-1 loss to the Astros.
Machine Generated Transcript
Well what do what do you think that -- the Giants. They're struggling and obviously when a team is not hitting. The you tend to look listless as you know was getting on base enough things going on. Well about a team step is definitely in -- what they do with the bats but this has been about a month now the Giants have to look at for energy that would try to find that chemistry. But it's almost like this story repeats itself on a daily basis they get there. And they're just not able to put hits together they create opportunity -- -- the one hit that puts them through that once it tighter. Base hit it it it it's brings an inning in and they can put its a crooked number up on reportedly they're just have been that many times they've scored more than one run in an inning and and that just starts to suck the life out of the -- -- that that's what's happening to me this this team right now they're playing. Houston in Houston. It looked like Houston had all the energy. You look at team better let body language that Giants during batting practice were just flat they were they were there were quiet in there grinding so hard. And you look over and see all the kids in the if the Astros on the field take batting practice there having fun they'd rather play games thereabouts around. Energy is chemistry and right now the Giants have to find a way to ignite some chemistry. And they will way to do that is if they live this much up with a willing to do that. You have to put some hits together that's the key that's what we've -- Wait for the whole season well and -- in the frustrating part I think especially for the Giants tonight against Henry Sosa there they're their own product out of their farm system. The fourth fifth in six innings Sosa issued leadoff walks in each case you start thinking okay here we go. But the Giants could not move those runners up. And all three times it all came tumbling down around them. Twice guys getting thrown out and on sort of but busted hit and run plays one just bad luck with mobile song up there. A a ball was strong so far a strike and just was unhittable but then. The other time there was a bit and a 32 count and Cody Ross could not make contact on the fastball so that's just always go for the Giants right now. And then not able to sustain any kind of Iraq. -- and that's the problem when you know you're atop a -- Sosa really is more of a reliever who's the starting role right now but if you look at the type stuff that He has He can't give you that many different looks. So for the Giants to go down as -- closely that they did tonight against a guy who didn't have. That many different things you can do the ball but that's a bit of surprise. I mean they did pretty well against him on Sunday when they you know they get a win early to get some runs off -- but tonight it just wasn't happening so. You know you your your race this late to come back tomorrow trying to clean things up mentally. And -- hope that tomorrow is a game that ignites because right now obviously need to do something that you do it now you know that then -- at now one and three against the Astros. This is with a schedule. Figured to favor the Giants are gonna have to start making it favor them. Tomorrow that's three more with the Astros and and three with the Cubs coming up before they have the big showdown series with Arizona so we still have some twists and turns. And in this schedule but for the Giants it's getting a little more urgent right now they've lost tonight in Houston.
proved their loyalty you're gonna give hosts of the team and I remark was a glass. Cost that was that Sosa he's like yeah yeah we're gonna Sosa rookies are picking up the but Who's interest whose cool. Lot of the guys I've been really knows
playing opening night we have some time up Henry Wofford. Comcast sports meant. Henry's side so for more on the contract of Andrew Bogut and the health of Harrison Barnes to check out what Monty pool that's Sosa . On CSN Bay Area dot com.
After a roller-coaster relationship with the Cubs, Sammy Sosa envisions his return to Wrigley like the prodigal son returning home in the Bible. Catch the full story as "5 Outs..." premiers Tuesday night on CSN.
What is important and most of the times with so few. We only two goals you know A couple of plays to get close. And Ramon Sosa so we go teams to do goals during games like this and where it's really battles. Because even though Modano a little bit opens
cards 27 innings pitched fifteen or sixteen walk or six walks and or three strikeouts. What's going on. Back. Excellence Sosa . Work my butt off all year. To try to get consistent and I give myself right today and I feel like it finally paid off that
In a recent interview with Comcast SportsNet, Sammy Sosa said he "cannot wait" to return to Wrigley Field and said when the time is right, he will come back to Chicago.
In the latest edition of In Case You Missed It, CSN's Tom Cooper runs through Kaplan's Halloween costume; Derrick Rose's return; Sammy Sosa and much more - 10/8
we've got guys in the potentially had the ball out at any time. Get guys who were you know professional at bats every time Sosa 's good balance. How unique is that reuse it aren't perhaps the hype the game for this team and I really don't. That penalty
on the is a basic they discovered to have the middle of the field open. The safety flooding there in a good girl from a first Sosa . And Twitter blew up with your sister in the box tonight and just you know screaming for you just end up pretty funny to hear
might have to do whom who might have a chance to impress on Thursday night. You know the guys who also are American men. No Sosa this is a tough position of beer because Nomar and all than they've. You know they've played so many snaps so close so many
the ball. And attacked the a little bit so they weren't accustomed to. To finish to my liking but I certainly wants us and Sosa . Yeah never like this so the kid every card that that is the Martina holidays you know polite. They can didn't get away with
prevented that they just say it just has taken ownership or so's this players. To do it because no matter how much noted coach you know. Verizon is what night it was Sosa is a sort of feel assess who has made the right decision and be Smart
losing so. losing by one run one run a studio more obvious you know when you see vote looking back he's not gonna steal a base Sosa hit and run missed by somebody. And that's so hard as it turns out gets a base hit on the next pitch. But little things like
plan for. And it. That we all do along aren't solely on to the strengths and weaknesses and no just been able to move around Sosa . Kelly greens. Yeah well first game there. I'm really for others you know make sure our top from you know. Defending the
you done to kind of handle the situation. It's tough but you know the kind of it's kind of fun since my rookie trying to Sosa phone calls on their mind you know you know things are back in the back and so it. Just keep on their toes and stretching you
looking idea. And it similar. Yeah I don't soon I then you know those things and need to do from physical standpoint. And Sosa did that our defense and offense and starting on the cost in the place so. Started to talk and get a jump career react very
good you know Smart your learned works hard. He's kind of quirky. These things work every day and doing his job so. Who renounces. Wounds the pre season and Sosa Cecil. Or eligible in the mentality and community brings we're there.
s kind of mentally yeah. Well it's I mean guys know what what what it is us we still got a ways to go to be where wannabe Sosa is all about getting better every day go back to work. You know we're not gonna hang our heads just like reserve and as an
carries in 2010. Enough power blocking scheme a system the Raiders will return to the. runners that's something the coaches the Sosa none of us into the gap scheme offense get down hill I distance and allow more. I'm looking forwards they once they know that
solid you know it's been a whole year. And every team is coming for you especially if you beat them so this target on your Sosa being the previous champions center. And really really reinforcing the guys don't always has ten things we pride ourselves

I met Javier at a Bridal Show, he was wonderful, and his arrangements were great. We decided to give him a call a couple of days later and set up an appointment to discuss our wedding and what we were really looking for. He explained everything, he truly was great. The day of my wedding I couldn't be more glad. My bouquet was extraordinary, even better than the one I had showed a picture of. All the arrangements were so fresh and they lasted for so long. I continued to visit his store until we moved to Dallas, but now.....I buy by phone. I have him deliver flowers to my mother as I will in a couple of minutes since her birthday is 06/19/08. I truly do love this store and appreciate Javier and his wife and all his love and knowledge for flowers.
I would like to thank "Heaven Sent Florist" for their exceptional customer service. The order that I placed from the internet (Dallas) was put together exactly how I saw it on the web. My mom was extremely happy with these beautiful flowers and so was everyone else at her place of work If she is happy, then that makes me VERY happy. I also ordered these flowers for my mother in law. I added special instructions on these orders and they followed through. Again, thank you very much for the awesome customer service you provided me and the beautiful arrangement you delivered to my mom who I love dearly. I will continue to use your business for my florist needs. Thanks Edna Dallas, TX

I will always use Norhtgate Florist!!
While becoming a florist doesn't require any formal education, floral designers must know how to care for the plants they use and which ones work best for which season or event. Additionally, a skilled floral arranger must also be familiar with the cultural symbolism behind each flower. For instance, carnations symbolize beauty and pride while daisies represent innocence and purity.
If you plan to give someone a flowering plant as a gift, then a good florist can direct you to the right one. They may also help you choose flowers to convey platonic or romantic love.
Many floral designers provide a host of services to meet customer demand throughout the year.
Most florists, whether they work at a chain or independent flower shop, both online or in a brick-and-mortar store, offer pre-arrangements of flowers. This means the floral designer has a selection of roses, tulips and other popular kinds of blossoms designed in arrangement that customers can simply buy on the spot instead of telling the florist what kind of flower pattern they want.
Have you ever purchased a get-well basket featuring sunflowers or an array of springtime flowers for Mother's Day? If so, you most likely bought a pre-arrangement that the floral designer put together ahead of time.
Buying a pre-arranged bouquet is a great option if you don't know what blooms or plants to purchase but you need flowers for a particular occasion.
Pre-designed arrangements are not original, one-of-a-kind designs, but the upside to buying pre-arrangements is they already come with a fixed price attached. Customers may simply walk in and spend $50 on a Valentine's Day bouquet as opposed to paying the florist a commission for an original design that could fetch a much higher price.
Custom-Made Arrangements
Having both an eye for design as well as good people and customer service skills is a must for any florist. These professionals work with clients to find the best flowers and custom-designed arrangements appropriate for the event or occasion. A commission to create a table piece, wreath or other type of design is typically much more expensive than a pre-arrangement, as it may not be made up of plants the florist already has on hand.
There's always a demand for florists and their creations year-round as people celebrate and commemorate the special moments in their lives. Whether you're getting married or remembering a loved one that just passed, flower arrangements and wreaths are traditional items we all use to help mark the important dates, stages and occasions in our lives.
One type of event most floral designers work on is weddings. Professional florists will collaborate with the bride and groom to formulate a design scheme that complements the event's overall colors and layout. Depending on what the couple wants and can afford, a floral designer may create the bridal bouquet along with streams of flowers for the wedding venue, table arrangements and vases for the reception afterward.
The prices for hiring a florist to do a wedding vary broadly because it not only depends on how many blooming plants you want, but also how widely available the particular flowers are.
More exotic types of blossoms, such as orchids, are pricier than your typical rose. Your bill could also fluctuate depending on how complicated the design is to make and if the flowers you choose are in season or not.
Keeping that in mind, florists are like any other tradesperson - your bill will reflect the materials they used and the time and labor that went into making up the designs.
Some floral designers also charge delivery fees to transport the flowers, vases and other materials to wedding or reception sites. Remember, it's not only the bride that needs flowers. Bridesmaids and the mother of the bride might also carry corsages and the groom and groomsmen sometimes festoon their jackets with boutonnieres. Don't forget about the flower girl, as well.
In all, the average cost to outfit a wedding with flowers is about $700. Some florists advise people to set aside 10 to 15 percent of the ceremony's budget for floral decorations.
Funerals are another major life event we commemorate with flowers. Florists may furnish sympathy flowers for the observance and lay sprays or baskets of plants around the church, synagogue or funeral home to help attendees with the grieving process. Designers also make floral wreaths and crosses to set up at the venue or in the cemetery, as well as special casket arrangements so family and friends may show their respect for the deceased.
Many customers choose traditional roses, lilies and carnations to send to a bereaved family, but florists are also able to personalize arrangements to your liking.
Just like other ceremonies that call for flowers, the price depends on the number of blossoms and what type of plants you want, along with the complexity of the arrangement. A complete funeral floral package that includes sprays along the casket, flower decorations for the venue and flowers for the participants can run from $200 to $800.
Meanwhile, the usual sympathy bouquet or vase runs between $40 and $80.
Mother's Day
You might think Valentine's Day would be the busiest day for a florist, but the day of love comes in second place behind Mother's Day. According to a number of studies, people do more online searches for flowers in anticipation of the May holiday than they do for Valentine's Day.
In fact, this day is inextricably linked with flowers, as Congress first issued a Mother's Day proclamation in 1913 asking all federal officials to wear a white carnation to commemorate their mothers.
Many children wish their mothers well on the day by sending a bouquet of carnations, roses, violets or tulips.
Valentine's Day
Coming in second place as the busiest holiday for florists is Valentine's Day. When Feb. 14 arrives, so do many people looking for arrangements to send to their loved ones. Just like Mother's Day, this holiday is very lucrative for floral designers. Americans typically spend tens of millions of dollars on their significant others every Feb. 14, and flowers, especially long-stemmed red roses, are a popular way to show someone you care.
Valentine's Day goes to show that a gift of fresh-cut flowers never goes out of style. However, it does go up in price - quite a lot, actually. The price of a bouquet of roses usually doubles on Feb. 14 before it goes back down the next business day. Expect to pay up to $100 for red roses from a flower shop on Valentine's Day. Therefore, if you're looking for a deal, it's smart to buy your bouquets a few days ahead of time and keep them in a vase with water so they stay fresh.
Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah
The holiday season is also one known for festive floral arrangements. Many families look to florists to come up with a Thanksgiving table set piece or a traditional cornucopia featuring plants with autumnal colors and gourds. Many churches and individuals also spring for flowering plants to help usher in Christmastime. Many florists sell living yuletide decorative plants such as ivy, holly, poinsettias, mistletoe and even miniature Christmas trees.
Many flower shops and floral arrangers also design centerpieces especially for the eight nights of Hanukkah. Online and brick-and-mortar florists offer blue and white flowers, usually arranged with candles in between the blossoms.
Easter and Passover
Religious holidays held in spring also keep flower shops busy as they design orders for families, churches and synagogues. Many shoppers are on the lookout for bunches of mixed flowers pre-arranged in bouquets or vases by florists. Lilies, as well as daffodils and tulips, are especially popular around these spring holidays.
Hindu and Buddhist Ceremonies
Flowers, especially the lotus, figure prominently in Hindu and Buddhist religious ceremonies, as well as in these two ancient religions' wedding customs. Many florists provide garlands of flowers to decorate and festoon the functions with.
Other Occasions
Remember that it doesn't need to be a holiday to purchase flowers. Floral designers also make commissioned or pre-arranged flowers to take to sick relatives, friends and colleagues recovering at home or in the hospital. Many florists also make designs for newborn babies, too.
While the majority of their work is devoted to making eye-catching and pleasing creations with plants, florists can help you with much more than just finding the right flowers for your next event or party.
In fact, a good floral designer can be a fountain of knowledge. These experts can inform you of the best ways to take care of your plants or how to properly cut the stems of flowers to ensure they last longer in your vase.
The next time you're out buying an arrangement, ask your florist which type of vase to use with which flower and how much water and plant food you should use to prolong the life of your bouquet or potted plant. Even though retail florists don't usually grow the blooms or plants themselves, they do know the best ways to keep your arrangement looking fresh for longer.
Local flower shops or gardening stores used to be the only game in town when it came to selling real or fake floral arrangements until supermarkets and drugstore chains entered the business by offering inexpensive pre-arrangements for holidays and other occasions. However, the number of brick-and-mortar florists is further on the decline as more customers choose to purchase bouquets, wreaths and other greenery online.
Even though one exists in a virtual capacity while the other is located in a physical setting, there aren't too many differences between online and brick-and-mortar flower shops.
Many online stores offer pre-arrangements of flowers you can purchase, as well as the ability to form your own design and decoration.
Online flower shops, in fact, work with wholesale florists near your area to ensure they deliver your order promptly. Since cut flowers don't have a long shelf life, these Internet-based companies essentially take your request and contract it out to a florist in your locale to design it and drop it off at your home or office.
While purchasing flowers online is convenient - you can shop any time of the day without leaving your house - there are a few things the online stores cannot offer patrons. You can't smell the sweet fragrance of tulips or roses in cyberspace and you can't touch the petals or leaves before you buy the plant. Additionally, when you buy a bouquet over the Internet, you're basing your decision on a stock photo of the item instead of the actual one that will arrive at your doorstep.
Not all varieties of roses or violets look the same and an approximation of a flower isn't the same as the specific one you could end up receiving.
This is one advantage physical brick-and-mortar flower shops have over their online competitors. Making the trip to your local florist means you can actually get the chance to stop and smell the roses.

Historical Traveler Reviews Larian Motel Tombstone
Great time in Tombstone!
Took the advice of others on TripAdvisor, and was not disappointed. Great location, friendly and accommodating owner, clean, nice sized room. I would recommend the Larian to anyone staying in Tombstone.
The best place to stay in Tombstone
The Larian is my favourite place to stay in Tombstone.I've stayed in three different hotels in Tombstone over the years,and the Larian was the best suited for me.It is ideally located in that you are staying right in town and you can walk to local attractions.It's on Fremont St.which runs parallel to Allen St.the main street in town,where the saloons and shops are, so it also offers a quiet retreat,after a hard day touring of the shops and bars.
Gordon is a friendly host and his staff are very helpful,the rooms are clean,large and comfortable.I spent 2 months in the US this summer,and stayed at the Larian on three seperate occasions.It's the next best thing to home for me,while I'm staying in Tombstone.
The Only place to stay in Tombstone
If you are ever in Tombstone, the place you want to stay is the Larian Motel. I am a single woman who travels the world over and I have stayed in many fine establishments, but NEVER have I stayed in a CLEANER room in my life! Believe me, I'm a "princess" and I wont stay in ANY "icky" places! The motel is vintage in its design, and each room has a name from the history Tombstone. I stayed in the Clanton room. The room was SO clean, plenty of towels, coffeemaker, blow dryer,TONS of hot water and windows you can open for fresh air! The staff is excellent and attentive, but the best gem of all is the proprietor, Gordon Anderson. This is the heart and soul of this operation, and he is such a great guy! He will tell you what there is to do in town, where to eat, what to try. He rocks! Trust me, this is THE place to stay.
Great place to stay
good clean large rooms at a great rate. Management very good and helpful. Within a few minutes walk of all attractions, well above our expections.
No reason to stay anywhere else, period...!
Our ninth visit here in Tombstone, guess where we stayed again? The Larian motel is without question the best place to stay in Tombstone.
Large rooms, very clean & up to date. Coffe pot, mini fridge very comfortable beds and smoke free!
We arrived in july 2005, I made a mistake making our reservations, upon arrival I found out we were a day early. This is peak time here in Tombstone & we had no place to stay.
Of course Gordon (owner manager etc..) would not let us sleep in the car ..so to speak. Unfortunatly his motel was full, Gordon went out of his way and called his competitors until he got us a room for the night..now thats good service!!!!
Motel is walking distance to the OK Corral and all events, you can't go wrong with the LARIAN!
Great stay
We stayed for two nights and enjoyed ourselves from the time we arrived until we left. We stayed in "Doc Holidays" room and found it to be clean and tidy. Little disappointed that there was no fridge in the room to put drinks or food. We had a small child who was still bottle fed so I was unable to make the bottles up the night before I had to do it in the morning before we went out. Also no jug to make a "cuppa", they did have a coffee machine, so I just removed the coffee part and boiled the coffee pot that way. Overall, it was a great place to stay, owner was very accomodating and helpful. We would stay there again, it is so close to town and food venues. LOVED TOMBSTONE!
A great place to stay
Good, clean, comfortable rooms. Within walking distance to Allen Street, restaurants and other amenities. Would definitely stay here again. Loved the Motel and loved Tombstone.
Happy return
Like my 3 night visit in September 2002 my 2005 stay at the Larian Motel was met with a most obliging owner and staff, the room was always very very clean and well maintained. A great place to stay at like the Larian makes ones visit to such a town like Tombstone all the memorable.
What a Relief
Our Retired Army/Marine son called us and told us he had motel reservations inTombstone, AZ. so we could visit our grandkids. My husband and I looked at each other knowing full well our son squeezes every dollar till it screams. We had great apprehension when he told us the name of the motel and it wasn't anything familiar to us, but we left Phoenix for Tombstone, and prayed alot.
We pulled into this clean, campy little motel named the Larian. The place was tidy, clean on the exterior but the dreaded moment came when our son opened the door to "Our Room". My husband the "Inspector" walked in first, he was shocked, it was not only spotless, nicely furnished with soutwestern style furniture, but it was like new inside, non-smoking and fresh. The bed and bath linens were good quality with one of those small easy to use coffeepots to revive us in the a.m.; plus a little fridge for my water and fruit. We meant the owner, who was very cordial and we found he was raised in Tombstone and knew all the interesting places and information that we find is a real plus when traveling. The Larian Motel was located about 1/2 a block from the mainstreet of Tombstone and was quiet and friendly. This motel even had benches to sit and enjoy the people who stayed there, the owner had seemed to think of everything. We appreciated this small motels family feeling and the knowledge of this real Tombstonian. Our familys thanks for a great place to stay!!
Very Friendly
Pulled into the Larian on our Harley before they had a chance to clean the rooms but they allowed us to drop our luggage off in our room and start touring the town. Gave great information on where to eat and were truly interested in how we were enjoying our stay with them. Rooms were clean and comfortable. They were always busy but would stop what they were doing to give us information or directions.

Another driving day, to Tombstone
... arrived at about 5:15pm. We are staying at a ranch tonight. We drove past Tombstone centre and 3 miles down a dusty road until we arrived at the ranch a little out of town. The ranch is set up really nicely with the rooms set up down a street that looks like an old west town. Each room is set up in the theme of the building.

Pregnancy blues?

It sounds like you have a ton on your plate right now! I agree, I think hormones are making things seem worse but you do legitimately sound like you're under a lot of stress. About your husband - men react so differently to things. I thought my husband wasn't excited about our first baby because he would act weird about different aspects of my pregnancy, too. He would complain about my symptoms and be irritated with me a lot and I couldn't understand why. Turns out he was just really nervous about it all and as the pregnancy progressed he adjusted and things were fine. He is very introverted and sometimes has trouble explaining how he feels. He was the best labor coach and is the best father I could have ever imagined for our daughters. With DD2 and now this pregnancy, he has been SO excited and supportive - he knows what's going on now. Maybe your husband is just acting like this because life is different now and he's a little insecure about it. I don't think there's anything wrong with you & your sister doing the nursery together - check with your husband first to make sure he doesn't mind and won't feel left out - but if he is okay with it then maybe just take the pressure off of him and have fun decorating with your sister. And don't feel bad about the girl name thing - I have ZERO ideas for girl names for this baby! DH and I haven't agreed on a girl name yet. My DH likes to wait until closer to my due date to talk names anyway, so I'm just thinking about ideas myself so we'll have some stuff to talk about when he's ready. Pregnancy and parenting bring entirely new dynamics to your relationship so you'll probably see sides of your DH that you haven't seen before! One thing that has really helped my DH & I is to spend time together not talking about our kids or the new baby, but just enjoying being together as a couple - maybe just pamper your DH and spend some quality time with him. Sometimes we moms get wrapped up in how we're feeling and preparing for our new little ones that we forget to spend as much time with our SO's. This will pass! (hug)

I thoroughly enjoy shopping at Gefer Farms. I can always find what I want and a very reasonable price. The produce, meat and deli items are always fresh and delicious. They have an extensive grocery section, including liquor. Not only can you find many ethnic food items, but a large selection of American (including organic) items as well. Although it does not offer the quantity of selections as somewhere the size of Ralphs, I value this because the staff is friendly and willing to help you pick out a good watermelon, if you don't know how to select one yourself, and offers a very home-like comfortable atmosphere. If you're not sure about an item, or want to buy it but don't know how to cook it, there is always someone there who can offer their opinion.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Sedan CLA250 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Sedan CLA250 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
Awesome sporty look/feel without the sport car cost! Just right for a single, young Glammother with an occasional car seat riding passenger! Downgrade in size and other luxuries from my C300 but, great on looks and gas economy. Buying with Edmunds' incentives made the deal even better! The $200 gift card looks good in my "new to me" car!!!!
not worth this bottom of the line Mercedes I traded it for a 2016 Honda Touring, know this is a real rideComfort all the way!!!!!!!
A lot of what you read out there is this car versus another car that is not in its class. You cannot fairly compare this car to, say, a BMW 320 or a Mercedes C300. This is a compact luxury coupe that happens to have 4 doors. It is not a closer to mid-sized sedan like the ones mentioned above. Keep that in mind when you read peoples reviews. The CLA250 is in a niche (test) market. The only real direct competitors at this time are the Acura ILX, BMW 228, and Audi A3. The BMW 228 is a 2 door, so that isn't exactly the same class. Nevertheless, these cars are aimed at people that want a lower price point luxury vehicle with great fuel economy and smaller dimensions. Lexus, Infiniti, etc., don't make a competitor vehicle. Maybe you could throw in maxed out Altima's, Camry's, and Accord's, but that would be a stretch to call those luxury vehicles. Having said all that, the CLA 250 is a fantastic car in its class. The interior feels very premium at this price point. The console layout is great and feels like modern premium. Its well thought out and has all the right touches one would expect in a luxury vehicle. The BMW feels antiquated by comparison, while the Audi is just plain terrible. The Acura ILX actually has the next best console/cockpit layout and feel after the CLA250. The front seating on all four cars are what one would expect in a compact luxury car. If you are much taller than average, you will feel cramped. For people of average height and lower, there is plenty of comfort and room to be had. None are the clear winner in this respect. You will just have to experience each of them and judge for yourself. In our opinion, the MB power seating controls, seat heating, and other minor nuances, are what place it at the top. The rear seating on all four cars is cramped, even for a compact car. Again, there isn't a clear winner here. Taller adults will struggle to get comfortable back there. MB does give the back seating some nice touches, though, that are absent or just not as nice on others. Overall, MB gives the rear seating more of the premium treatment than others. Performance is best on the BMW. It is the sportiest, quickest, turns the best, and so on. This may not be supported by test reports, but that is how it feels compared to the others. MB has the best ride, although, it is not great by any measure. Your best bet is the get the 17 inch wheels if comfort is on your mind, and then just deflate them a little bit to the mid-upper 30's. The 18 inch wheels do make it sportier and handle better, but you get more road feedback and slight deflation is not as effective. The CLA 250 gets top marks in the economy battle outside of the Audi A3 Diesel (which is a $3000 option). Nothing much to say here. 26 city / 38 highway is just outstanding for a gas, non-hybrid car that also can do 0-60mph in about 6 or so seconds. "Pro" reviews seem to largely overlook the fact that the CLA250 is ground-breaking in this respect. The MSRP price of the CLA250 was the second best after the Acura ILX when compared to similarly equipped vehicles. We found that MB was the most willing to negotiate savings off the MSRP (during the Summer), though, and also gave the most for our trade. Acura and BMW wouldn't budge below 4% under MSRP, and that was on their loaner cars. Audi wasn't willing to go more than 6% under MSRP. MB was offering 10% off MSRP without even trying on any in stock brand new car. MB offered us at least $1000 more for the trade, too. The overall deal was clearly the best amongst these four cars. Overall, you just cant beat what Mercedes put together on the CLA250. It really comes down to preference, though. Some would rather sacrifice the premium for more sport. Some would rather sacrifice economy for more rear seat room. It really is in the eye of the beholder. For everything we valued, the CLA250 was the runaway winner, with no real close second. If we had to rank them, it would be MB CLA250 in front, followed by Acura ILX, BMW 228 and Audi A3. The Acura is perhaps the bang for your buck leader after the CLA250. If you can find the right dealer at the right time, you may be able to get a better deal on it versus the CLA250. BMW is the clear sport luxury leader, where the emphasis is on sport. The performance is outstanding for a vehicle in this class. Audi is dead last. It is not a very good vehicle at all. The console/cockpit is atrocious. That alone is enough to walk on by. The ride is bad, the economy is sub-par, and the list goes on. I would be happy to own the CLA250, ILX or 228, as they are all great vehicles in their own way. I would pass on the Audi A3.
We sold our beloved 2010 Toyota Camry SE V6 ( Awesome Car!) to purchase the CLA because of the design and what we thought was an upgrade and entry in to the luxury market. We received lots of compliments at stop lights and parking lots and such (felt good). Having owned the car for approximately 1.5 years, we started to get the not so good feeling of multiple trips to the dealer. It began with the rattles in the interior, the console, the driver side visor, airbag lights, electrical shortages etc. It was embarrassing to have my co-workers in the car with rattles coming from all parts of the interior. I would recommend purchasing the maintenance package, which we found to be a good value if you so decide to purchase this lawnmower of a car. The CLA is a poor performing car, sluggish acceleration and extremely noisy. Mercedes attempt to enter the Eco friendly engine world is less than refined in this farm tractor sounding engine. The CLA lacks character on the inside unless you upgrade to a higher package for a lot more money. Compared to less expensive compact brands ( Corolla, Honda Civic) the CLA's interior seems that it was made out of plastic milk jugs and lacks basic standard amenities such as back up camera. Why pay 30K to drive a Mercedes emblem? the annoyance with the car as well as the dealership experience became vile hate, where no one wanted to drive the car, instead opting to drive our other non luxury cars. Finally, we gave up and broke the lease took the 3K hit and leased a Lexus GS350 oh what a difference, even the ES 250 was a better driving car and you get luxury and finesse. In closing the CLA is a genuine junk and the Mercedes product manager who decided to enter this category, with this poor quality of a product should be taken out to pasture and put to sleep. Good riddance Mercedes CLA never again anything Mercedes.. Don't do it!

The reason we do these "Pass or Fail" posts is because they are inherently unpredictable. The preordained Chicago Blackhawks walking the red carpet before their first home game seemed like an offense to the hockey gods, but received a "pass" from many commenters. The debate on Jason Blake's spin-o-rama shootout goal, and the rules that allow it, was all over the place.
So we post this No. 69 "McLovin" jersey from the cheap seats at the Verizon Center with an open mind, even though it violates at least two laws of the Jersey Bill of Rights.
Maybe "Superbad" is classic enough, and the character of Fogell/McLovin is iconic enough, to warrant a tribute on a Washington Capitals jersey. Even if putting the name of a fictional character on your sweater is blasphemous on several levels; unless, of course, it's a "FRODO" No. 0 jersey. Or a "DIVINE" No. 2 jersey, come to think of it.
Is the No. 69 too much or is it mandatory if you're referencing a teen sex comedy? Could a "Booger" jersey during the heyday of "Revenge of the Nerds" have been any other digit?
Hell, maybe we're reading too much into it. Maybe his name is really "McLovin," and the guy is happens to be the world's biggest Mel Angelstad fan. So, with that:
Pass or Fail: The Washington Capitals No. 69 McLovin jersey.
(Bonus question: Is the Brett Leonhardt No. 80 Caps jersey the coolest thing you've seen all month or what?)

Annual celebration in East Selkirk
The 50th Manitoba Highland Gathering had activities for the whole family over the weekend. A petting zoo, a market, dance competitions, even for the first time ever, a Heavy Events competition pitting a team from Canada against a team from the USA. Make sure to come down to East Selkirk next year for the celebration.

Annual celebration in St-Joseph
This past weekend, the Rural Municipality of Montcalm celebrated their annual Montcalm Heritage Festival. They started off with a free Pancake Breakfast Saturday morning, and this was only the start. All day they had all kinds of activities, family baseball, museum tours, Ricklyn Farm Petting Zoo, entertainment and a fishpond for kids. The big parade started at 1pm and was followed by the opening ceremonies, a magic show, an Elvis impersonator and an evening full of entertainment. No one left hungry, all day their canteen was busy serving their classic pulled pork sandwich and their Pork & Beans special. They had their big BBQ supper in the evening. Sunday the activities continued and the whole festival ended with another big feast Sunday night. The festival did not expect the number of participants they had over the weekend. They had visitors from all the way from out of the province. Two big families picked this festival to host their annual family reunion. If you missed your chance to go this year, do not make the same mistake next year! See you at the Montcalm Festival 2017.

At the time of the 2004 pre-Budget report, in December of that year, HM Treasury published a discussion paper on Small Companies, the self-employed and the tax system. After some talk about targeted tax incentives for small business, and expressing the view that everyone should pay the right amount of tax, it went on to suggest that the creation of HM Revenue and Customs presents an opportunity to look at the way small businesses interact with the tax system more strategically. The government believes that this paper provides the starting point for discussion with interested parties, focusing particularly on the strategic issues raised by the approach in the tax system towards self employment and the remuneration of owner-managers of small incorporated and unincorporat...

marx or knox ?
And i thought he was an unreconstructed presbyterian....
Surprise, Surprise!
The previous Chancellor, now the Prime Minister, is an unreconstructed Marxist. That explains everything..
You clearly have not read Marx
Richard Murphy
Marx is a waste of time
History has shown beyond doubt that it is worth no one's time and trouble to read Marx (except, perhaps, to see what bilge it turned out to be).
As further proof, follow the link below to today's Times obituary of Andrew Glynn the pre-eminent Oxford Marxist economist who had to eat his words when confronted by the historical successes of capitalism initiated by Reagan and Thatcher and the concomitant collapse of communism and the Soviet Empire.

It's no secret that Volkswagen's chairman of the board, Ferdinand Piëch, is after Fiat's Alfa Romeo, and possibly even Ferrari, brands. VW CEO Martin Winterkorn as well as Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne recently said that VW's dream of buying the two storied Italian marques is just that.
At a press event in Turin, Italy, Winterkorn is quoted by Ansa Newswire saying buying Alfa Romeo "is just a dream" for the German giant, putting the kibosh on Piëch's insistence to monitor and eventually buy the brand. Piëch's previous comments show buying Alfa Romeo was an actual goal of his to add Alfa to VW's already formidable stable of brands.
"We are patient and have time…you won't hear anything in the next two years," Piëch told Reuters in early October about his plans to buy Alfa Romeo. VW design director Walter de' Silva also admitted he'd like a shot at Alfa, calling it his "secret love."
Marchionne countered Piëch at the Paris Motor Show telling the press to "let them [VW] wait." At the event in Turin, however, he echoed Winterkorn's comments that buying Alfa Romeo is just a dream for VW, insisting the brand isn't for sale.
Alfa Romeo is one of a handful of brands under the Fiat stable Marchionne is trying to turnaround. His business plan for the brand includes a return to the U.S. in volume after the brand left in 1995 with planned global sales of 300,000 units per year by 2013. Those are the figures Alfa needs in order to turn a profit again, a rather ambitious goal given how Alfa Romeo only sold around 102,000 vehicles last year and posted an estimated loss of $410 million according to an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein in London.
Marchionne's ambitious plans prompted a senior VW executive to tell us "if one of his key plans falters, we will be there to pick up the pieces." New reports out of Europe indicate that VW's plan to "pick up the pieces" might have been more about sports car maker Ferrari rather than Alfa Romeo. Germany's Manager Magazin reported that Ferrari has been Piëch's real target all along, citing unidentified industry observers.
No matter Piëch's ultimate goal, his desired Italian acquisition has been dubbed a dream by VW CEO Winterkorn himself. We have to say, buying Alfa Romeo and Ferrari is one hell of a dream.

I swear I've done this before
I swear I've done this before
Feb 09, 2006 11:14PM PST
Has it really been two months all ready? Time flies when you're having fun...I guess. Summer seemed to have came and gone, leaving behind the bitter chill of winter. Oh and the rain! The floods! Oh my! No, seriously. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm sick and tired of the rain. With almost 30 days of straight rain, these couple of days of sunshine have shined deep into my heart and warmed me up, well...maybe not that poetic.
Rainy days are good for only two things and both of them involve being indoors, oooh yeah! Recently I had started hanging out with a friend of a friend and found out how much we had in common. Which led to many of late nights watching anime and gameplaying. She is above and beyond a true friend that I could ever dream up. My GameCube found a home over at her house, which it didn't mind since it got more action over there anyhow.
These past few months I have really started to understand the brilliance of Nintendo and their 1st party games. It's taken me back to the roots of games, where it's all about the fun and not about anything else. So all you other companies can take your pixel shaders and millions of polygons with your "true to life" physics and shove them up your...maybe not that far =/.
Hardly anything compares to playing Mario Party until 5am with 3 friends or playing Mario Kart Double Dash for over 2 hours setting a new record time after time with a girl who's one of your best friends only to find out that she played the day after and kick your time in the teeth and knocked out three seconds!! Oh! and how could I forget having her start a town in Animal Crossing on my 2nd memory card and leaving me presents and letters (as well as chopping down my trees! /cry!) and me doing the same! Recently I have found out the fun and mayhem of playing four player Super Smash Bros. Melee drunk is a hoot.
I haven't had this much fun with games in years and I owe it all to you...who knows who you are...something like that.
Recently Resident Evil 4 for the GC dropped down to the irresitable price of 20$, which gamestop was more than happy to give me their last copy, go me!! Chibi-Robo, the new title on the cube, is advertised at Fry's for 40$ and is very tempting. Also, I've been trying to score copies of Trauma center, Meteos and Bomberman for the DS; Perferablly spending as less as I can. Oh and the fact that Tetris DS is coming has me TOTALLY freaked out!
P.S. I miss lumines ='(
P.P.S. I'm totally addicted to Guitar Hero

Osama bin Laden's son-in-law was arrested in Ankara by Turkish security forces after Washington allegedly informed Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MİT) about his location, daily Milliyet reported today.
Suleyman M., son-in-law of former al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, was allegedly staying at a camp in Iran after the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.
He entered Turkey using a fake Saudi Arabian passport. Daily Milliyet claimed that the United States learned Suleyman M. was in Ankara and informed MİT. Turkish security forces captured him at a hotel in Çankaya district of Ankara.
U.S. Navy SEALS killed al-Qaeda leader Bin Laden at his compound in Pakistan on May 4, 2011. Kuwait revoked Suleyman M.'s citizenship after the U.S. issued an arrest warrant for him on charges of involvement in terrorist activities.
A Turkish court decided to release Suleyman M. on the grounds that he had not committed any crimes other than entering the country with a fake passport. However, he was not released and was returned to the police department for extradition from the country. The daily also said Suleyman M. would be extradited back to Iran. The U.S. reportedly asked Turkey to give Suleyman M. to the U.S. for interrogation on alleged al-Qaeda activities.
