Almost a Womanby Esmeralda Santiago
Following the enchanting story recounted inWhen I Was Puerto Ricanof the author's emergence from the barrios of Brooklyn to the prestigious Performing Arts High School in Manhattan, Esmeralda Santiago delivers the tale of her young adulthood, where she continually strives to find a balance between becoming American and staying Puerto Rican. While translating for her mother Mami at the welfare office in the morning, starring as Cleopatra at New York's prestigious Performing Arts High School in the afternoons, and dancing salsa all night, she begins to defy her mother's protective rules, only to find that independence brings new dangers and dilemmas.
America's Dreamby Esmeralda Santiago
AmÉrica Gonzalez is a hotel housekeeper on an island off the coast of Puerto Rico, cleaning up after wealthy foreigners who don't look her In the eye. Her alcoholic mother resents her; her married boyfriend, Correa, beats her; and their fourteen-year-old daughter thinks life would be better anywhere but with AmÉrica. So when AmÉrica is offered the chance to work as alive-in housekeeper and nanny for a family in Westchester County, New York, she takes it as a sign that a door to escape has been opened. Yet even as AmÉrica revels in the comparative luxury of her new life, daring to care about a man other than Correa, she is faced with dramatic proof that no matter what she does, she can't get away from her past.
Casi Una Mujerby Esmeralda Santiago
En su nueva memoria, la aclamada autora de Cuando era puertorriqueña continúa su cautivante crónica describiendo su salida de los barrios de Brooklyn a los teatros de Manhattan. "Negi," como cariñosamente la llama su familiar, deja Macún, un campo de Puerto Rico, en 1961 para vivir en un apartamento de tres habitaciones en un proyecto de viviendas, con siete hermanas y hermanos pequeños, una abuela preguntona, y una mama estricta que no le dejaba salir con muchachos. A los trece años, Negi añora su propia cama, privacidad, y una vida con su padre, quien permanence en Puerto Rico con su nueva esposa. Mientras traduce para Mami en la oficina del Welfare por la mañana, hace el papel de Cleopatra en el prestigioso Performing Arts High School de Nueva York por las trades, y baila salsa toda la noche, Negi ansía lograr un equilibrio entre ser norteamericana y ser puertorriqueña. Cuando desafía a su madre al salir en una serie de graciosísimas citas, Negi descubre que la independecia trae consigo sus propios retos. Una conmovedora historia universal sobre la llegada de la mayoría de edad, a la vez que una valiente y sincera historia de inmigrantes, Casi una mujer es el triunfal camino de Santiago a hacerse mujer.
Conquistadoraby Esmeralda Santiago
An epic novel of love, discovery, and adventure by the author of the best-selling memoir "When I Was Puerto Rican. "As a young girl growing up in Spain, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is powerfully drawn to Puerto Rico by the diaries of an ancestor who traveled there with Ponce de Leon. And in handsome twin brothers Ramon and Inocente--both in love with Ana--she finds a way to get there. She marries Ramon, and in 1844, just eighteen, she travels across the ocean to a remote sugar plantation the brothers have inherited on the island. Ana faces unrelenting heat, disease and isolation, and the dangers of the untamed countryside even as she relishes the challenge of running Hacienda los Gemelos. But when the Civil War breaks out in the United States, Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the very people on whose backs her wealth has been built: the hacienda's slaves, whose richly drawn stories unfold alongside her own. And when at last Ana falls for a man who may be her destiny--a once-forbidden love--she will sacrifice nearly everything to keep hold of the land that has become her true home. This is a sensual, riveting tale, set in a place where human passions and cruelties collide: thrilling history that has never before been brought so vividly and unforgettably to life. "From the Hardcover edition. "

Las Christmas: Favorite Latino Authors Share Their Holiday Memoriesby Esmeralda Santiago Joie Davidow
24 stories, 6 poems and songs, and 22 recipes for the Christmas season.
Las Mamisby Esmeralda Santiago Joie Davidow
A marvelous new anthology from the editors of Las Christmas in which our most admired Latino authors share memories of their mothers. The women lovingly portrayed in Las Mamis represent a cross section of Latino life and culture. They come from rich families in the big cities of Latin America, from rural immigrant families, and from the worlds in between-and they share an extraordinary inner strength, often maintained against incredible odds. Pressed by conflicting cultural expectations, circumstance, and religion, they have managed the challenges of motherhood, leaving enduring legacies for their children. Now, in these vivid, poignant, and sometimes hilarious reminiscences--all of them infused with distinct sabor latino--Las Mamis celebrates the universality of family love and the special bond between mothers and children.Contributors include: Esmeralda Santiago, Piri Thomas, Marjorie Agosin, Junot Diaz, Alba Ambert, Liz Balmaseda, Mandalit del Barco, Gioconda Belli, Maria Escandon, Dagoberto Gilb, Francisco Goldman, Jaime Manrique, Gustavo Perez-Firmat, Ilan Stavans.

The Turkish Loverby Esmeralda Santiago
Enthralled admirers of Esmeralda Santiago's memoirs of her childhood have yearned to read more. Now, in The Turkish Lover, Esmeralda finally breaks out of the monumental struggle with her powerful mother, only to elope into the spell of an exotic love affair. At the heart of the story is Esmeralda's relationship with "the Turk," a passion that gradually becomes a prison out of which she must emerge to become herself. The expansive humanity, earthy humor, and psychological courage that made Esmeralda's first two books so successful are on full display again in The Turkish Lover.
When I Was Puerto Ricanby Esmeralda Santiago
In this first volume of her much-praised, bestselling trilogy, Esmeralda Santiago's story begins in rural Puerto Rico from the "barrio" to Brooklyn to high honors at Harvard
When I Was Puerto Ricanby Esmeralda Santiago
Esmeralda Santiago's story begins in rural Puerto Rico, where her childhood was full of both tenderness and domestic strife, tropical sounds and sights as well as poverty. Growing up, she learned the proper way to eat a guava, the sound of tree frogs in the mango groves at night, the taste of the delectable sausage called morcilla, and the formula for ushering a dead baby's soul to heaven. As she enters school we see the clash, both hilarious and fierce, of Puerto Rican and Yankee culture. When her mother, Mami, a force of nature, takes off to New York with her seven, soon to be eleven children, Esmeralda, the oldest, must learn new rules, a new language, and eventually take on a new identity. In this first volume of her much-praised, bestselling trilogy, Santiago brilliantly recreates the idyllic landscape and tumultuous family life of her earliest years and her tremendous journey from the barrio to Brooklyn, from translating for her mother at the welfare office to high honors at Harvard.

Q: I have a lump the size of a grape outside the lip of my vagina bit under the skin..what might this be?
A: The lump may be an enlarged bartholin gland, that is located at the entrance to a woman's vagina, one on each side. They are small and cannot be seen or felt when they are normal. They may enlarge due to infections or blockage of the glands, and may need treatment if it does not reduce or go away within a few days on its own. Best home treatment is to have sitz bath 3 to 4 times a day for at least 15 minutes each. If pain, redness, fever or other symptoms start to develop, it may be a sign of infection or abscess formation and in that case you will need antibiotics.

Kony 2012, Does Social Media Oversimplify?
Matthew Kavanagh: From Twitter trending to the front page of The New York Times to public statements by the White House and the Pentagon, the Kony 2012 campaign has shown the power of social media to affect U.S. public debate – but what about the dangers of oversimplification?
Oil vs. 'Morning in America'
Brent Budowsky: Let's challenge the speculative fever and vulture frenzy that threatens the Morning in America that is coming. The president should initiate a drawdown of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, if necessary twice, to burn the fear of God into the soul of speculators.
We Get the Media We Want
Tina Dupuy: Especially in America where the vast majority of our media is profit and ratings driven – the media is programmed by us to give us what we want. Whether we like to admit it's what we want or not (think stories about whoever is filling the role of a Kardashian or a Bieber).
Not Another Year-End List!
Michael Sigman: So, to test the theory that my sense of self needn't include the political shenanigans of the moment, my New Year's resolutions are: a) To cut, by at least half, the time I spend following political news, polls, etc; and b) To actually do something — like organizing, phone banking or writing more for websites and newsletters.
It's Only Unethical When It's Called 'News'

Kenneth Weisbrode: America now faces a situation to which neither benign neglect nor grandstanding will suffice to distract it from its central task of underwriting a peaceful international system.

'Marley & Me' remains top dog with $24M weekend
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson and their little dog have not lost their box office bite.
The family tale "Marley & Me," starring Aniston and Wilson as owners of an adorably mischievous pooch, took in $24.1 million to finish as the No. 1 movie for a second-straight weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The 20th Century Fox flick raised its total to $106.5 million since opening Christmas day.
With no new wide releases, the weekend shaped up largely like the previous one, with Disney's Adam Sandler comedy "Bedtime Stories" in second place with $20.3 million.
Rounding out the top five again were Paramount's Brad Pitt romantic drama "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" with $18.4 million, MGM's Tom Cruise World War II saga "Valkyrie" with $14 million and the Warner Bros. Jim Carrey comedy "Yes Man" with $13.9 million.
In a season loaded with wartime stories, two more Nazi-themed films opened in limited release.
Paramount Vantage's "Defiance" debuted with $121,000 in two theaters for a whopping average of $60,500 a cinema. By comparison, "Marley & Me" averaged $6,862 in 3,505 theaters. "Defiance" stars Daniel Craig in the story of Jewish brothers who form a band of freedom fighters against the Nazis in Eastern Europe.
ThinkFilm's "Good" opened with $9,300 in two theaters, averaging $4,650. The film casts Viggo Mortensen as an upright German academic gradually seduced into the Nazi fold as World War II approaches.
Hollywood finished 2008 with solid returns. Domestic movie revenues totaled $9.63 billion for the year, just shy of the $9.68 billion record set in 2007, according to box-office tracker Media By Numbers.
Factoring in 2008's higher admission prices, the number of tickets sold fell to 1.35 billion, down 4.3 percent from the year before.
That was a solid result given hard economic times, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers.
"The movie industry is totally holding its own in the face of the recession, increased competition from other entertainment options and emerging technologies," Dergarabedian said.
The new year was off to a good start, with the top 12 movies taking in $130.1 million, up 7.4 percent from the same weekend in 2008.
"Marley & Me" remained the pet picture for audiences looking to relax and unwind over the holidays, said 20th Century Fox distribution executive Bert Livingston.
"A picture doesn't stay No. 1 for two weeks without getting great word of mouth," Livingston said. "It's a feel-good movie. That's what people want to see right now."
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday
1. "Marley & Me," $24.1 million. $106.5 million to date.
2. "Bedtime Stories," $20.3 million. $85.6 million to date.
3. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," $18.4 million. $79.2 million to date.
4. "Valkyrie," $14 million. $60.7 million to date.
5. "Yes Man," $13.9 million. $79.4 million to date.
6. "Seven Pounds," $10 million. $60 million to date.
7. "The Tale of Despereaux," $7 million. $43.7 million to date.
8. "Doubt," $5 million. $18.7 million to date.
9. "The Day the Earth Stood Still," $4.9 million. $74.8 million to date.
10. "Slumdog Millionaire," $4.8 million. $28.8 million to date.

Melanie Outlaw can't recall ever riding by the Duracell plant on S.C. 9 Bypass West and not seeing cars in the parking lot.
But with the battery manufacturer's recent announcement that it was shutting down production by 2019 and cutting 430 jobs, she realizes that day is coming.
"I have to admit I thought they'd be here forever," said Outlaw, who is executive director of United Way of Lancaster County. "Duracell is a good, viable company that's always been an active partner in the community.
Staff report
A heavy truck stolen in Kershaw Feb. 8 has turned up in Richland County, and surveillance footage from where it was found has given the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office new clues about the theft of the truck and some equipment stolen with it.
The truck, a 1989 Ford F-450 service truck, was stolen from a home in the 300 block of Lynnfield Street in Kershaw, along with a 7-ton trailer, an excavator and a number of tools. Home video surveillance footage showed the truck being driven away, but provided few useful clues.
Duke Energy is warning the public about a new, aggressive scam targeting the company's S.C. customers, using sophisticated telephone technology to make the crime harder to detect.
Duke says customers are receiving an unsolicited phone call from an individual who falsely claims to be a Duke Energy representative. The scammer warns that Duke will disconnect the customer's electric service if the customer fails to make a payment very quickly.

A Lancaster County man who has served 12 years on a crack-cocaine conviction is among 214 federal inmates whose sentences were commuted by President Obama this week.
Tyrell Anthony, 33, of Kershaw has been serving 20 years for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of crack cocaine and failure to appear in court. His incarceration, at the medium-security Bennettsville Federal Correctional Institution in Marlboro County, will now end Dec. 1.
Most of the affected inmates are low-level drug offenders, said White House legal counsel Neil Eggleston.
For decades, it was a rite of passage for teens in Buford – a courageous, after-dark covert ascent of the fabled water tank beside the elementary school.
But the 7,500-gallon edifice, built in 1965, has seen its last climber.
Workers from R.E. McLean Tank Co. should finish cutting apart and dismantling the tank today, said Stephen White, Lancaster County Water and Sewer District manager.

A South Carolina Education Lottery spokeswoman said in a release Tuesday that someone in Lancaster County bought a Cash 5 ticket with numbers 12, 17, 18, 20 and 22, and had still not claimed the prize.
Had they "Powered-up" for an extra $1, the prize would have been double the amount. The odds of winning Sunday's prize were 1 in 501,942.

In its Hebrew edition, Ynet says that the White House is considering a visit by Obama in June or July. Well, David Remnick told him to go in the New Yorker last week. Obama cares more about Remnick than Jeffrey Goldberg, and feels he can drive a wedge in the Jewish community? Power shift. (P.S. I told my president not to go. Dallas.)

"By the president's calculation, telling the truth to the American people would doom his reelection campaign, since he would not be able to raise the billion dollars he needs this time around. The kind of people who have that kind of money and will agree to contribute to his campaign know very well what informed voters in a working democracy would to do to them once they understood just who has depleted the national treasury to line their own pockets. "
Richard WittyMarch 21, 2011, 10:23 am
He should go, and emphasize the strong and continuing link between the US and Israel, and that Israel's status in the region is devolving for reasons that are within its control.
Hard to know why Phil feels that he should not go. "Dallas"?
CitizenMarch 21, 2011, 10:53 am
Given the state of the shaking Middle East, a real American leader would visit Gaza and the Arabs living in the West Bank. Is that part of Obama's trip ticket too? At this stage, if Obama only goes to Israel he will be following in the symbolic steps of Sharon The Great Antagonizer. And this will be duly noted by the awakening Middle East. However, Obama himself is safe and genuflection in Israel seals his second term. When the world itself shakes after he leaves his 8-year tenure, he can go around peddling his new "doer" book same as Bush Jr & Rummy. His interviews will be smoother, less revealing.
eeeMarch 21, 2011, 11:11 am
Phil is worried that a Palestinian frustrated by Obama's support for Israel will attempt to assassinate Obama while he is in Israel, hence the reference to JFK's "Dallas".
pineywoodslimMarch 21, 2011, 11:13 am
Emphasis on "the strong and continuing link between the US and Israel" has always been trotted out and used as an excuse for any and all Israeli policies regardless of their negative effects on US interests.
That's the failed status-quo talking.
He needs to go to Israel and tell Likud that the US intends to normalize its relationship with Israel and treat it like any other nation–in other words no more blind eye to Israel's crimes.
Will Obama do this? Of course not.

>> He should go, and emphasize the strong and continuing link between the US and Israel …
The link is strong, but its strength and continuation must be made conditional upon just and moral behaviour and adherence to international law.
Mental flash: Obama says all this to Bibi…and then they both break out in laughter at the absurdity of the U.S. demanding just and moral behaviour from anyone.
Bibi (wiping away tears): "Barack, you're a funny man! For a moment, you had me believing you were serious!"
Obama: "Sorry, Ben, I could help myself! Anyway, how much money do you want this year?"
>> … and that Israel's status in the region is devolving for reasons that are within its control.

Have heard Obama bring up the Jewish youth in this country as a potential "wedge"
LesMarch 21, 2011, 2:39 pm
Two things that won't happen. Obama will not declare himself to be a representative of Mondoweiss. Obama will not call for a no fly zone over Gaza.

"the strong and continuing link between the US and Israel" :: a wonderfully accurate description of the deplorable present and past, a pretty good prediction (probably), BUT NOT AN ARGUMENT for more of the same.

unfortunately i have lost whatever confidence i once had in obama so it really doesn't matter to me anymore where he travels.

You 'had confidence' in The Obomber? dear oh dear, annie – well i hope you're wiser now and won't get fooled next time the wheel out some Wall St front man dressed up in a 'progressive' clown-suit
annieMarch 22, 2011, 9:41 am
yes i did hubris, for quite awhile actually. i don't have much more to say about that, too depressing.
Hu BrisMarch 22, 2011, 10:26 am
Ok – I'll pretend, from here on in, that it never happened :)
I still have fun asking friends to present me with evidence, OTHER than mere media reporters say so. for their contention that he was/is
a) a progressive &
b) smart,
so far the best most of them can come up with is that he apparently once edited some magazine in college – well whopp-dee-doo!
I wonder what they'll come-up with next time – a disabled Hispanic lesbian, or some such?
Hu BrisMarch 22, 2011, 10:42 am
He's a great speechifyer though, sound's almost like he means it – I guess that helped fool a lot of people – Obomber speechifying
An old teacher of mine told me, regarding politricks and politrickers, to "Pay attention only to what they do, not what they say they do"
Note the catch-phrases –
"Our Founding Fathers . . .",
"Our common good . . ."
"Extend opportunity . . ."
"The rule of law and the rights of men . . "
"The blood of generations . . ."
"America is a friend . . .of every man woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity",
"We are Ready to lead . . ."
Heap powerful bullshit, that.

Yes Mr. President, go kiss the ass of a government which likes to kill unarmed American kids in international waters and wound American Jews protesting against its war crimes. Show the family of Furkan Dogan and Emily Hechonowicz (sp) how you don't care about what happened to them.
Maybe watch the Max Blumenthal "Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem" video on the flight over, to get in the right mood for it.
dbroncosMarch 21, 2011, 9:56 pm
Revolutions roil the ME and Israel's supporters seek a stronger commitment from Obama. He won't disappoint them. The purpose of his trip is to shore up their confidence in him as a stalwart ally. I can imagine his Peace Prize trophy collecting lint in his sock drawer.

Domestic Violence Information
Cycle of Violence
The Cycle of Violence describes the pattern of abusive relationships. There are three distinct phases: tension building, explosion and false honeymoon.
Warning Signs
After people learn about domestic violence they are often interested in ways they can predict potential abuse in relationships.
Safety Planning
Remember that leaving a violent relationship can be dangerous and take precautions to keep yourself safe. It is better to leave something behind than risk your safety or that of your children. If you are trying to leave and your partner becomes angry, call 9-1-1 for your safety.
Effects of Domestic Violence on Children
Domestic violence puts all individuals in physical and emotional jeopardy, especially children. Parents are often unaware of the effects that violence can have on a child. You may think that the children don't notice it because they can't see it, but they can always hear it and feel it.

CHAKA FATTAH has been walking the halls of Congress for nearly 20 years, but he never forgot his friends back home.
Tax records reviewed by the Daily News show that between 2001 and 2012, nonprofits founded or supported by the Philadelphia congressman have paid out at least $5.8 million to his associates, including political operatives, ex-staffers and their relatives.
Three people who had ties to the organizations were later convicted of federal crimes.
For the past seven years, criminal investigators have been poking and prodding at Fattah and the cottage industry of mostly taxpayer-funded nonprofits run by his political allies.

Set ground rules for teens early, often
Right about the time you think you've got this teenager thing figured out, along come the cops to remind you that you don't.
Such was the case the night of our sophomore son's homecoming dance. My husband and I, always eager to be involved, offered to throw the after party/sleepover for Benjie and eight of his friends, about half of whom we knew. No big deal. As parents of two other children who'd long-since finished high school, we had done this kind of thing dozens of times before. How much trouble could a bunch of 15-year-old honor students be at 2 a.m. anyway?
As it turns out, confidence was our downfall. All we thought we needed to do was pick up the bleary-eyed boys, set them up in the basement with a bag of pretzels, some sleeping bags and a quick "Don't stay up too late" and head back to bed.
But a few hours later, five of the eight boys got restless. Without our permission -- and because we didn't set clear rules about such things as leaving the house -- they set out for doughnuts at the convenience store three blocks away. Only thing is, in our town, there's a citywide curfew for juveniles from midnight until 6 a.m.
The kids made it halfway to the store when a police officer, patrolling the neighborhood after a rash of car break-ins, spotted the gang. He put a spotlight on the petrified boys -- one of whom was so scared, he ran through the woods unseen and back to our house -- and made them empty their pockets. He patted them down and called for backup, then stuffed the wide-eyed boys into two patrol cars and brought them home to be identified by me and my startled husband.
Nobody got into serious trouble. On homecoming night, while some kids were losing their virginity and others were being arrested for underage drinking, these boys got caught going on a doughnut run.
Still, eight boys were under our care. Five of them got picked up by the police for breaking curfew while under our watch. And on Sunday, we had some explaining to do to a bunch of parents, who didn't like hearing their sons spent part of homecoming night in the back of a squad car.
This comparatively mild event serves as a reminder. No matter what kind of home we think we've established, no matter how many teenagers we have successfully raised, no matter how many of their friends have been through our house, clear boundaries and expectations need to be voiced at every turn.

Historical Traveler Reviews Lajitas Golf Resort & Spa
Great Place
We were leaving Texas to move to Calif. and decided to visit Big Bend National Park as part of our trip. We decided to stay at Lajitas through a promotional card we had received in the mail. We are so glad we did. We had a great time. My husband loved the golf course, we both enjoyed the restaurants (yes, the Ocotillo was overpriced), the room at the Badlands was very comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. Will visit again if we ever get to that part of the country.
Loved Lajitas!
We spent 3 nights at Lajitas in March 2004 and loved every minute. Yes, it is a little pricey, but the rooms in La Cuesta were very plush, even if a little dimly lit. The room amenities include bathrobes, slippers, bottled water, special coffee and exquisite toiletries. The daily activities at the resort make it truly special. After a river rafting trip one morning, we attended a culinary class with the chef and then a wine tasting with a wonderful young sommelier. What a delightful escape! Lajitas has to be a destination in itself since it is not on the way to anything........and once you arrive, it is definitely worth it!
New Lajitas Resort
I have stayed at the Lajitas Resort 4x. It has always been something that reminded me of Gunsmoke. The rooms were overpriced, not of very high quality but it was the only decent hotel in the area and the friendliness left a bit to be desired but I loved it there anyway.
There is nothing in the area except the Gage Hotel up in Marathon.Last time in 2002, I was there they were in the midst of rebuilding, the place did need refurbishing. I just went to the redone website. It looks like it turned out great. However, I just checked the prices for an upcoming stay and I simply can't afford to pay $195 a night to stay in the cheapest rooms in the Badlands Hotel area. $310 in the Officer's Quarters where I stayed last time when I couldn't stay in the Badlands because of building noise. So basically, unless a new hotel has sprung up somewhere, there are 1 star hotels in the area and now a 4 star resort and no inbetween. Sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place.
We have stayed at Lajitas many times for $ 70.00 a night and have never had a complante, however, since Mr. Smith took over I called for a reversion in the same room that I had stayed before, they told me it would be $240.00+tax + a $1500 recrecation fee???? I am not going back the place I loved so much.......John Dillard-Mateos
What happened? Used to be great now overpriced
What a shocker - the place has changed from five years ago! It used to be like staying in the Old West Texas of the past, but now it's more like Palm Springs wannabe. The atmosphere has been lost - replaced by a bigger, water-hungry golf course with pine trees. The rooms have been redone in the Cavalry Post and elsewhere, but are not that much nicer than before and the price has shot WAY up. Service not too great, either, and the Starlight in Terlingua has better food and service for a fraction of the price. If you want upscale dining and lodging in the Big Bend area, stay at the Gage in Marathon - a much better deal.
Lajitas, Worth EVERY penny!!
I fell in love with Lajitas the moment I arrived. The views were amazing and the service was spectacular. The golf course was amazing and the staff was very attentive. After golf, my husband and I both had massages at the newly opened Agavita Spa. Again, the staff was very attentive and our massages were very relaxing. We stayed in the Cavalry Post- and slept better than we ever had in a hotel. The bed was comfortable and we loved the nightly turndown service and letter. We dined on delicious cuisine both in the Candelilla Cafe and the Ocotillo. The staff was very knowlegable about the menu and wine selection. I have already booked us for another visit and we are investigating membership at Lajitas. I would highly recommend Lajitas to anyone.
A suprise Oasis
My family recently took a driving trip to the Big Bend area and found a suprise oasis in Lajitas! The Big Bend area is beautiful, rugged, and unspoiled- it felt like we were really in the Wild West. We stopped in for gas and found a lush golf course, a spa, beautiful rooms, and a sparkling pool! The place is right on the Rio Grande River and sported a old fashioned boardwalk where there was a few horses tied up in front of the ice cream store. The mayor of the town is a beer drinking goat- there were so many suprises we decided to stay there and skip our next planned stop- some of us went horseback riding while others spent their time on the golf course- it was just what we needed and everyone was happy!
To much for so Little
Lajitas is a place of stark beauty. The hotel I stayed at and paid $140 per night for had no electricity or water for half the time there. The rooms were nice and the service was friendly but poor. The restaurant was very nice and reasonably priced..
Never Paid So Much for So Little
Quality of room justified a price of about $60 a night, not $200+. We did stay in the old part of the hotel, maybe the newer part is better. Plusses - Lajitas Resort has a nice golf course, great views, and service from staff was excellent. Just not worth anywhere near the price paid. The same applied to the restaurant, Octillo. Although service and ambience aren't in the same league, Starlight Theater and La Kiva are better buys for the money, and arguably the food is as good. If you're looking for a great restaurant in the area, Reata in Alpine is the ticket.
Loved the view
The views were spectacular from the hiking trails and the restaurant at the property. They have a LONG way to go before they can claim being a "five star" resort. The food was ok and the service was terrible. We booked the upscale Calvary Post but when we arrived they put us in the Badlands Hotel and tried to charge the same rate. (which I found out later they were selling out the Calvary Post for twice the rate I originally booked at). There were burns in the carpet and it smelled old and it was very very noisy. I was very disappointed after reading spectacular reviews regarding the resort and spa (which was not open).

Just because it was winter break didn't mean the Greeley Central girls swimming & diving team got a break.
And all that hard work paid off Saturday afternoon.
The Wildcats finished in fourth place out of 16 teams at the Keith Wiedeman Invitational with a team score of 195 points.
Fossil Ridge took the top spot with 460.5 points, Cherry Creek followed with 362 and Loveland came in third with 272.
Three Weld County teams finished the meet in the top 10. Windsor took sixth with 169, Greeley West was ninth with 117 and Eaton grabbed 10th with 103. Also competing at the meet were Valley (12th with 61) and Northridge (tied for 14th with 14).
Central coach Nikki Plunkard said she is so happy with how the Wildcats performed at the Greeley Recreation Center.
"We have girls closer and closer to state, some within less than a second, some within two," she said. "So, I know by the end of the year we're gonna have those times and we're gonna make a good representation of the team at state. I'm excited for the swims they had today and the swims to come."
Senior Haley Johnson said Central had a lot of practices over the winter break and the girls really worked hard at those practices.
"And, I think the team morale has come up a little bit," Johnson added. "Our attitudes have improved like dramatically. They're starting to realize that the team as a whole, we can do really well and we can do great things and they're starting to really put their effort into that.
"It's no longer like an individual thing anymore — it's that we want to make the team better. … It's awesome," she said.
One of the highlights for the Wildcats was the times they cut throughout the meet. The 200-yard freestyle relay cut 3 seconds off their seed time, taking sixth place with a time of 1 minute, 53.03 seconds. That event along with the 500 freestyle and the 100 backstroke helped Central leap from sixth place to fourth place in the team standings.
The biggest cut of the day for Central was in the 400 freestyle relay, where the 'Cats cut almost 10 seconds off their seed time, finishing seventh in 4:08.60.
"It was right before the 400 free relay, I went up to them and said, 'Listen, if each of you swim your best times, we have the state qual.,' Plunkard said. "But you know what? We had girls swim their best times, we were two seconds off (qualifying) but 10-second cut, I'm all about it.
Another team that worked hard over the break was Greeley West, which performed well according to coach Colin Shaha.
"It was a really good meet with how tired we are," Shaha said. "We've had a very long two weeks of practice. There's a little break there for Christmas and there's a little break there for New Year's, but throughout the entire time we ran two-a-day practices. And, I bribed them with pizza."
He added that the meet got the Spartans where he needed them to be at this point in the season.
"At the beginning, I gave them a goal that … on the average, everyone get at least one best time," Shaha said, "which really isn't easy to do right now because we usually peak toward the end. And that's a team effort because not everybody is gonna get a best time. … And, they far exceeded my expectations. I thought 50 percent was reasonable … but across the board, we were getting best times without any kind of rest."
This was especially true for junior Morgan King, who not only swam back-to-back races, but won both of them with Class 5A state qualifying times.
"She's shown a lot of maturity on that," Shaha said. "She likes the fly so we kind of always put her in the fly, but she's also a very good 100 swimmer. … I didn't hear any kind of complaints about 'Oh my god, I don't have enough rest.' … But she still raced well."
King joked that rest would've been nice, especially after the previous week.
"This whole week has been really hard, and there was a lot of best times out there, which is impressive for as hard as we've been training this week," she said.
King dominated the 100 fly with a time of 58.96 seconds, but the 100 freestyle was a close race between King and Fossil Ridge's Jazmyn Markel. King touched the wall at 55.55 and Markel finished at 56.60.
King said the most important thing right now for West is to try and stay positive, especially since there's been a lot of injuries on the squad.
"A lot of girls are just 'I don't wanna do this. This is hard, I'm sore, I'm tired. I don't wanna be here,' " she said. "So, positivity is the hardest thing we have to enforce right now and it's hard."
King said she just tries to motivate and encourage her teammates as much as she can.
"Just have fun with it — that's what it is," King said. "If you think about it, meets are a heck of a lot easier than practices. It's so much less and I guess they just need to realize how fun these things really are.
"I guess I have enough experience right now to know that everyone is going to be tired, no one's gonna want to do this, but you have to just kinda help them through this because it's not gonna last forever," she added.

A look at various smuggling tunnels across the U.S.-Mexico border.
James: Trump may think Hillary can't make it to her car, but I think it's very likely that Trump won't make it to November. Eric Schneider, the Attorney General of New York State, has a very good case of self-dealing against Deceitful Donnie, and Donald could very well be arrested for felonious larceny in the near future. Schneider has experience prosecuting rich people who use their charities in self-serving ways. For example, in 2013 he prosecuted a well heeled and politically well connected Queens physician for self-dealing in her charity, a charity that was actually doing some good for the medically underserved of New York City. Trump may be the next self-dealer to fall.
