This is just further proof that Patriots fans are the best in the world. You can put the candidates on a stage to talk about taxes, trade and cyber security. But Pats fans will not let the world move off the real topic affecting out lives: Roger Goodell.
It doesn't matter which side of the aisle they're on. Whether the want to Make America Great Again or they're With Her, New Englanders understand that the biggest threat to our nation is that power-crazed, conniving, dishonest weasel. And until he is taken down, none of us can truly be free.
Maybe at the next debate Trump and Hillary will get around to talking about his plans to build a wall. But Pats fans are still Defending the Wall that is way more important.

Thoughts and prayers to Gerry today. About three minutes in, he went berserk in a struggle to defend Donald Trump's abyssal debate performance and it took until 6:08 for Tomase to call something Gerry said absurd.
They went through the debate chapter and verse. Gerry ranted about Lester Holt and Sharia Law, Tomase doesn't like either candidate and the callers didn't like Tomase. Kirk is still supporting his guy, Gary Johnson, whose idea to move all of this to another planet doesn't seem like a bad idea right now. They all agreed the debate was worse than a lot of things, but not Mike Salk. We finally found out Trump hasn't been saying "bigly," but is saying "big league," which makes just as little sense.

You can't even really see anything. Call me when there are full frontal naked pictures of Jimmy Garoppolo.
As Kirk pointed out, these pictures aren't sexist because "we've seen Gisele's upper nudist world."
They revisited the Anthony Fisher David Ortiz piece and Tomase didn't rule out the possibility Ortiz might be taking something to enhance his performance (on the field).
Kirk will sleep with any man for a billion dollars. Your move, Rich in Hartford.
Both Dino and Mikey have new gigs, so stick tap to a great guy.
Buy this book today.
Line of the day: Kirk: "I am a gay American." Finally.
Caller of the day: Brandon, he's not voting because all the presidents are related to a king and the whole thing is as fake as professional wrestling.
Producer contribution of the day: Curtis is "so pumped" to meet John Krasinski today, has no questions for him.
Here's the mashup of #TrumpSniffles I asked for. I love you internet! pic.twitter.com/lS5hVsPjEI

Immigration. The war on terror. Benghazi. The Clinton Foundation. Donald Trump's comments about POWs. Gun ownership. These are just a few of the issues we never heard mentioned in the first presidential debate. But we did hear Trump's sniffles. Lots of Trump's sniffles. Streams, tributaries, rivers, salt marshes, harbors, seas, oceans of Trump's sniffles. It's what the Internet is fixated on today. It's the story of the campaign right now. It's what historians will look back on and political science majors will do their theses on generations from now.
So here are some of the Trump's sniffles highlights, from a former candidate accusing him of being a cokehead to the inevitable parody account to the memes and campaign spin. As bad as "Star Wars" Episodes 1-3 were, there is one good line where Natalie Portman says, "So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause." Our democracy is dying to the sound of a middle-aged man snorking back his runny boogers. Enjoy.
Notice Trump sniffing all the time. Coke user?

Sweet mother of God. Tom Brady even serves suspensions better than anyone who's ever played the game. Relaxing in a lounge chair under the warm Italian sun with the world's most super supermodel by his side. Not a care in the world and charging his battery to 100 percent before he comes back an unleashes hell during what remains of his semi-season.
And I love how this is the biggest news of the day. The fate of the country is being argued about by an oily, orange reality TV mogul and a corrupt, pantsuited succubus. But the New York Post is obsessing over a quarterback catching some rays with his soulmate in the last days of his forced exile.
Tom Brady is literally doing nothing and it's a huge story in the New York tabloids. Meanwhile, the Giants' best player is having psychotic episodes in the middle of a game — again — and the Jets' quarterback is throwing six picks, but Brady is chillaxing with a towel over his man parts and it's dominating the news cycle. Imagine what it's going to be like when he actually gets off the lounge chair and starts dominating the NFL again? There won't be another story worth printing.
Not that this is the first time anyone was ever transfixed by a naked Brady. But grow up, people.

Reinhard Ossur- Floor 8, Level 22
The front lines. This is where Reinhard belonged. He had been working steadily for weeks now to get here. Despite all the peril that front liners faced, Reinhard felt a growing sense of belonging as he inched closer to the dungeon, following Elise closely. Each gave the other a challenge, and Reinhard wouldn't have it any other way. Elise had a competitive spirit. He liked that. Though he would admit it was quite strange to see another health bar in the corner of his HUD. It's vivid green matched his own. Hopefully it would stay that way. Reinhard had never truly partied with anyone, having remained quite the solo player since the beginning. His friends list was bare, having only a few people on the list with the majority being shopkeepers he returned to as a regular customer. Part of Reinhard liked Elise, from what he saw of her. She was a skilled player, having survived as long as she did, and she was a loyal friend to those in her party. He knew she had his back. Protecting her was the least he could do in return. Worst case, he will save her and she will owe him twice. Reinhard did save her friend…Krissu was it? Reinhard wondered how she was doing these days. Hopefully she was still alive, at least.
Reinhard knew when he reached the boss room. He could smell it. A lumbering, snake-like behemoth, the monstrosity loomed over the party of hopeful monster slayers, her face of twisted evil staring into their souls. Reinhard hid his sliver of fear that was deep within his heart. It was his first front line boss raid, and the reality that he could be unprepared becoming ever more apparent. Salathar was its name and its many life bar revealed itself soon enough. Despite the fear, a small bit of humor kept Reinhard grounded: She was nothing more than a Medusa rip off. It was a lame, dark joke but Reinhard's concentration needed all the help he could get.
Reinhard stood back, keeping his defenses up as he observed Salathar's fighting style. It was important to gauge how she moved and attacked, as well as any abilities that Reinhard was unaware of. She charged forward through a pack of players swiftly, barraging them with her snake like hair. She was quick, but her attacks seemed to lack range. What was interesting was her attacks were capable of hitting multiple targets at once. This made surrounding her almost pointless, since she could break an encircling strategy with relative ease. At least approaching her was easy. No range, no problem.
But then, Reinhard caught a glimpse of what Elise was eyeing with so much attention. A scrappy, skilled player was fighting the boss with some degree of success. However the tides of battle abruptly turned against him. While catching his breath, he looked into Salathar's eyes. The gaze of Salathar froze the player in place and with a presence as dark and sickening as Reinhard could imagine, hypnotized the player. With a ghastly look, the player grasped his sword tightly as he plunged the blade into his own chest repeatedly until his untimely demise. There was no stopping him, as his friends leapt into action pleading him to stop as he chipped away at his own health. Reinhard could swear he saw the player bat away his friends so he could continue to kill himself. When the final blow was struck, the player fell back, his face pale, his mouth agape as he stared into the ceiling, spending his final moments contemplating. Like everything else in this perverse world, he shattered into bits of data, glimmering in the dim lights of the dungeon. Exchanging glances was fatal. Something Reinhard had to keep in mind.
Reinhard wanted to deliberate with Elise to formulate a full proof strategy, but he was too late to the punch. She charged forward, avoiding eye contact (which meant she likely caught on to some of the things that Reinhard had learned), as she engaged Salathar in battle. All things considered, Elise did well. Reinhard watched as she blocked and dodged several attacks as she slashed away at the creature. Reinhard quietly cheered her on, but some anxiety filled his heart when he saw Elise's health drop to yellow.
Reinhard was going to leap into action, hoping to finish what Elise started, but other groups joined the fray. Many focused their attention on the tail, which was smart to say the least. The sweeping motion of the tail covered a lot of ground, and swatted away players around like flies. Removing the tail from the equation was necessary. The snake hair was also a problem, but he saw a number of players being led to take that out too.
But what was he doing? Nothing. He watched as the battle took place in front of him. He was a spectator at a sporting event, sitting in the front row, wondering why he wasn't competing. Wondering why he couldn't play with the big kids.
Why am I watching? Why am I not fighting? What the hell am I doing?
Reinhard's eyes burned with anger. Anger at the boss. Anger at the others. Anger at himself. He had enough of waiting around. Salathar's health was nearly gone due to the focused attacks of the others. At the very least, Reinhard was hoping to redeem his cowardice. Reinhard drew his Arctic Blade in front of him, keeping the blade held tightly in his sword arm as he rushed Salathar head on.
Avoid eye contact. Dodge tail. High jump. Lob off snake hair with sword arts. Repeat.
It was a simple plan that he followed to a tee. Reinhard kept his eyes focused on the torso of Salathar, realizing any attacks would likely be telegraphed from any subtle motion of the creature's core. Salathar caught wind of Reinhard's bold charge and swung the tail widely knocking around a few players would attempt to butcher it earlier. It was a easy, nimble dodge for Reinhard. Not only did he expect it, the attack was slow at this point, as Salathar was on her last "legs" at this point. Reinhard mounted the tail of his opponent, slashing it twice as he used it as a boost to jump onto the back of Salathar, joining a few players in a crusade to bring the creature down like every other boss in this damn game.
Reinhard stood his ground on the back for the time being, burying his sword in the creatures back for support as he climbed higher and higher. Reinhard gained some solid footing, barely balancing his large frame on Salathar as she attacked with her serpent strands of hair, Reinhard took a few cheap shots as the hair surrounded him, snacking away on his health. He watched as his health was inching closer and closer to yellow, until Reinhard used a defensive sword art [Counter]. His blade had a bold glint to it as Reinhard as he slashed away the three hairs, doing a fair share of damage to the creature.
Powered by his anger, Reinhard decided to be shamelessly reckless. The next wave of attacks followed soon after, and Reinhard slashed away a few before grabbing one of the hairs. Using it as a rope, Reinhard used the hair to climb closer to the head, hearing the creature scream in frustration. Reinhard swatted away snake hair after snake hair as he approached, consuming the creatures attention. Soon enough, she would be bald as Reinhard would give her the closest hair cut he could manage if given the chance. As Reinhard neared her head, he made a daring leap to the top of Salathar's head, where he would focus his attacks on the eyes hoping to prevent her from hypnotizing any more players.

Organic wine: Is wine made from grapes grown in accordance with principles of organic farming, which typically excludes the use of artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides
Biodynamic wine: Is a method of organic farming originally developed by Rudolf Steiner that employs what proponents describe as "a holistic understanding of agricultural processes": One of the first sustainable agriculture movements, it treats soil fertility, plant growth, and livestock care as ecologically interrelated tasks, emphasizing spiritual and mystical perspectives. Proponents of biodynamic agriculture, including Steiner, have characterized it as "spiritual science" as part of the larger anthroposophy movement.

Asynchronous delivery with WS-Addressing
WS-Addressing is a standard that enables flexible communication between web services.
Two of the major standards bodies, OASIS and the W3C, recently released a flurry of standards dealing with web services. Because most of these standards have names that start with WS, the standards are loosely known as WS-* or (less formally) WS-splat. In this article, I will examine one of the key pieces, WS-Addressing, and explain how it can enhance existing web service applications and ultimately bring powerful new messaging patterns into the web services world.

Sometimes even Angels must learn to fly…
Six Pack Ranch, Book 4
Allison Parker needs a convincing excuse to come home to Rocky Mountain House. A hopelessly romantic reason that won't let her mother suspect the truth—that Allison has discovered Mom is keeping a terrible secret from the family.
Gabe Coleman is struggling with two of the roughest parts of ranching: dealing with his bull-headed mule of a father, and making enough to pay the bills. When his old friend Allison offers to help him develop his ideas for organic ranching—in trade for pretending to be her fiancé—it sounds like the perfect set-up.
Yet the deception leads them in an unexpected direction, where their shared daily hells are erased by nights of heavenly distraction. It's not supposed to be real, but once the gates are opened, there's no denying they've found in each other a little bit of Paradise.
To break free of the past and face the future, though, will take more than temporary pleasures. It'll take putting their hearts on the line.
Warning: Tortured hero with a guardian-angel complex, grief-stricken heroine willing to sacrifice everything for family. Break out the tissues, this trip to the ranch is a heartbreaker on the way to the HEA.

Vivian Arend has done it again! This is the fourth book in this series. A must read!!! It has everything a romance reader likes in a book. It has approximately 628 pp. Ms Arend keep'em coming. I will try to wait patiently for the next book and hoping you write something about Travis. It's about time we find out what else he has been up to.
Love the whole storyline! How they brought Allison in from the previous book was so smart. It was a surprise how long it took them to have sex. All the sexual tention had me squirmming! So glad they realized it was true love even with all the craziness going on around them. Can't wait to read which cousin story comes next! Hope the next book comes out soon!
Great chemistry between Allison and Gabe. Of course, Gabe is a sexy cowboy, but one with a good heart. Loved this one! This series is fabulous.
Very sweet and hot read. Wish I had me one of those Colemans.
A great read and addition to the Six Pack series. Gabe and Allison have a strong sense of family and do what is necessary to take of them. They both sacrifice to do this, but support one another, and find love.
Love gabe and allison! Hope she keeps the series going!!
I love the six pack ranch series. This was a great story but not my favorite so far. I do look forward to the next in the series.
Reviewed by FRANCESCA & posted at Under the Covers Book Blog "A good guy from the wrong side of the Coleman family. Gabe swept me off my feet." ~Under the Covers Every time I read a book about these hot Canadian cowboys I know I'm in for a sweet, hot and sexy ride. This book was no different, even though I can't say it was my favorite in the series. Gabe and Allison have been friends their whole lives. They both moved away and Gabe came back a while back to try to make his family ranch profitable. His middle brother had died leaving his family torn up and him full of guilt. His dad turned into a drunk and he left leaving behind his youngest brother to take the brunt of the effects. He is now back trying to make life easier for everyone in his family. And then Allison comes back into town and dumps a big favor on his lap. She just found out her mother is very sick and she wants an excuse to move back to Rocky Mountain that won't raise her suspicions that she knows what's going on. And that would be Allison's engagement to Gabe. This almost feels too easy for Gabe because he's always had a crush on her. But Ms. Arend managed to make Gabe work for Allison's affection. And what with him being such a sweet, tender and caring man, there was really no other choice for her but to fall and fall hard for this cowboy. Gabe is one of those heroes that doesn't seem to be alpha on the surface, but deep down he's as possessive as any other alpha male. A good guy from the wrong side of the Coleman family. Gabe swept me off my feet He was also the pillar supporting so many other characters, and as the title suggests, being an angel. Sometimes too good for his own good. And when he lets his control go and goes after a woman, well lets just say I was a puddle at his feet. And speaking of puddles, this book got down and dirty Skinny dipping, mud wrestling and some porch acrobatics. Allison and Gabe were hot and heavy anywhere they could. We also get another small glimpse into Travis' life. He's going to be a hard one to read. He's obviously been going through a lot and I still can't figure out what his deal is. I really hope we get to read his book soon because I'm dying to see him in a happier place. Ms. Arend we need to get these books faster! *ARC provided by publisher
I enjoyed this book as the 4th in the series from Six Pack Ranch. Must read all 4 books and you'll be hooked. Book 3 with Matt and Hope was my favorite.
My favorite of the series! Absolutely loved this book!
Very well written. Love the series. Great story, greater characters, greatest sex.
Each and every book in this series is a great read. Love the characters and hope there are many Coleman stories coming!!!
Love this series.
Very Enthralling
Another great story in the Rocky Mountain Series. You won't be disappointed!
Loved all the books in this series! Author has done well developing the characters Always waiting on the next book

When you guys say you eat squash, what type are we talking? The yellow zucchini? butternut squash? winter squash? I just want to know for making solid food which is least allergenic. I thought ds had mucous from butternut squash once but not r eally sure.
Has anyone had luck adding tree nuts back in their diet? I don't read much abt nut trials. I was given advice by our nutritionist to try nuts but idk, i am nervous.

Calling all cars: Be on the lookout for an overweight, underappreciated comedian in search of a vehicle. Although he's one of the funniest performers around, John Candy has had a floundering career in films. Since he isn't leading-man material like Tom Hanks or a consistent caricature like the late John Belushi, Hollywood has never gotten a handle on him (except as the second banana in Splash and Volunteers). Admittedly, he's not the easiest comic to market. There's something fundamentally frightening and mean-spirited about him (which would have made Candy ideal in Danny DeVito's role in Ruthless People). In this makeshift comedy about a security guard on the loose in L.A., Candy is merchandised as a one-man Police Academy. But once again he's plying situations, not playing a character. Even his former SCTV pal Eugene Levy, who has also suffered from movie miscasting, fares better. As a lawyer moonlighting among misfit guards, Levy has tunneled his frustrated dope shtik into a workable role. There is, however, an unexpected pleasure: Meg Ryan, an up-and-comer who is also in Top Gun as Anthony Edwards' ditsy wife. She plays the daughter of a crooked businessman, and the movie suddenly acquires a heart whenever she appears. Giddy but guileless, Ryan displays a disarming vulnerability. It may only be petty larceny to steal a clinker like this, but Ryan makes it something more than a moving violation. (PG-13)

Historical Traveler Reviews Renaissance Denver Hotel
Don't waste your money.
A tired, worn convention and business hotel. The beds are as worn out as the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was overpriced and cold. A turnstyle operation.
Renaissance Good Choice
This hotel is an excellent value. We got a rate of $55.00 per night at Marriott.
The area around this hotel is not very nice, but it's not a ghetto as one reviewer wrote. It's more business/industrial with a working class neighborhood on one side. The hotel is adjacent to the old, and now closed, Stapelton Airport. If beautiful scenery is important to you, don't stay here. We were not going to spend much time in our rooms so this was not important to us.
We wanted to visit may attractions in the Denver area and this hotel provided an ideal location with easy access to major highways.
The service was excellent! The staff could not have been more pleasant and accomodating.
Rooms: The rooms are definitely dated and need to be redecorated. They are, however, clean, spacious, quiet, and comfortable. We had great views of downtown Denver and the mountains. Be sure to request a room with a downtown view.
There are nicer hotels in Denver, but the price is also 3 or 4 times what we paid for this hotel. Given that we were going to be out and about, the extra cost was not justified. If I wanted more of a retreat-type vacation where I stay in my room and lay out by the pool, I would pick a nicer hotel.
Because of the service, access to highways, and low cost, I rate this hotel a 4/5.
Better than most on Quebec
While better than most of the other properties in the Stapleton area, this hotel has a lot of room for improvement.
Front desk staff was friendly, though the checkin process took a little longer than it should have. They didn't have my name in the system and it wasn't until I produced the paper copy of my reservation confirmation that the process started moving along. Being a Marriott rewards member and AAA member was of little benefit, as the only rooms you could get at a good rate under those programs were smoking rooms. I got a better deal by taking the standard rate off the website.
The fitness center was well stocked, the pool looked nice. Business center left a lot to be desired-- most equipment was out of order.
The room itself was good. The only downside was a beautiful view of the shopping center across Quebec. If you can, try to get a westward facing room. Hairdryer was broken, but everything else seemed to be in working order. No fridge or any amenities of that nature.
I guess different people would have different opinions of the parking garage. Personally, I'd prefer to park in a lot rather than meander through the levels of the garage, but it's no big deal. Easier parking is available at the Doubletree, Radisson and other properties along Quebec.
All in all, a fairly average stay. I've been to the Courtyard, Radisson and Renaissance when staying along Quebec and the Renaissance is as good as any of them.
Great accomodation and value
A couple friends and I stayed here the last weekend of October, 2004. I heavily researched hotels in Denver and this was the one I settled on. I was very pleased indeed! Not only did we get a great deal but the amenities and accomodations were terrific. The atrium was exquisite and roomy. The staff was courteous and helpful. Kudos to the atrium restaurant-the breakfast buffet was fabulous; so much food and quite tasty! Even our rooms were nice, kept very tidy by the good people of housekeeping. We had a view of Wal-Mart across the street but it could have been worse. In other reviews there is some hubbub about the Renaissance's location. My advice: if you're wanting to stay on Park Avenue then go to New York. This area used to be the Stapleton Airport. It is being refurbished slowly, Denver has been putting in restaurants and shopping centers. I saw no riff raff and we were there 3 1/2 days! I-70 is adjacent and access to Denver Intl' as well as the rest of the city is fantastic. The Renaissance offers free shuttles to downtown as well as Denver Intl!I have stayed in many hotels but by and large the Renaissance Denver is one of the better places I have stayed. You have to go to Las Vegas to get a comparable value and accomodation. Just don't ask the Concierge/Doorman for cookies late at night-he'll tell you. "that's the Doubletree!" I give the Renaissance Denver a wholehearted thumbs up.
Don't stay here
Reserved club room on 10/2003, when checking in they gave me room w/king bed when I reserved 2 queens. Had to go to front desk where they were very rude and told me to wait for a while to see if any rooms had 2 queens..said my reservation wasn't guaranteed..it was since I reserved w/credit card. Told me no room was guaranteed. I fought with them till I got room w/2 queen beds on 8th floor..w/club floor amenities. Took almost 2 hrs to check in. Last day of stay I asked for wakeup call that never came..almost missed flight home. Otherwise, rest of staff excluding front desk were nice enough. Hotel room ok, overlooked fire station and train tracks. Not the best area in town to stay. Won't stay here again.
Good deal
This hotel is not in the ghetto. There is a brand new shopping center, and restaurants across from the hotel. The room was in OK shape. You could tell that it was a few years old. Overall, I felt that this hotel was a good value. I paid $62.00 for a room with two beds. We were on the 12th floor, and had a great view of downtown and the mountains. This worked out great becuase we stayed there on the 4th of July, and we were able to sit on the balcony and watch fireworks from all over the Denver area. I would definetly recommend this hotel, if you get a good rate.
Great hotel, great location ...
Very classy hotel, great location for the airport and downtown. Large clean rooms, lovely public areas and an attached multi storey car park. Fantastic breakfast buffet. You can't judge a hotel by the streets you have to drive through to get to there!
Great for reunion groups!!
I selected this hotel for a military reunion that will be held in October 2004. The hotel is beautiful and the staff is friendly and professional--the value they offered my group told me they really wanted our business. The neighborhood is not bad at all--there's a fire station and park a block away. Ask for a room on the west side for a nice view of downtown and the Front Range. Free trasportation to and from the airport as well as to downtown is a huge benefit.
Definitely not a ghetto. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff.. I'd stay there again.
You can almost never go wrong with Renaissance by Marriott. This certainly applies with the Denver Renaissance. The room was large and very comfortable. The amenities always give me an opportunity to try out Bath and Body Works products. The front desk staff were helpful each time they had to give me directions to get to another location.
The concierge gave accurate information about restaurants in the area.
And the maid service was close to the best I've ever witnessed. The maids are friendly and happy and that also tells me something about the management at this hotel.
The Renaissance is located across the street from a Panera Bakery, a few fast food restaurants, Home Depot, Office Depot, and a Walmart.
There is a lot of new growth since it used to be airport land. It's not a far drive to the downtown area or the new airport... it's probably right in the middle between the two.
I definitely recommend this hotel.
There's a reason you can get rooms here for $79. DOn't walk outside.
The neighborhood was horrendous. Hey, I like watching a drug bust as much as the next guy. But I prefer when its on TV and not on the drive home from downtown.
The bar was ok. A nice place for us to hang out after the drive home through some really choice sections of Denver.

Day 22: Denver, Colorado

After eating and relaxing a little, we went to a few good overlooks and made a stop at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. In the evening we visited Boulder, which was cool. When we got back for the night, we ordered pizza and watched Sharknado 3.
Overall, we had one extremely successful day in Denver. Looking forward to another one, tomorrow!

By the time we landed in Denver, I think that everyone was just happy to be home. It was tough to say goodbye to everyone after a week of growing closer and getting out of comfort zones.

We'd heard too many bad stories about people getting involved in other domestics. They finally went quiet. Not a pleasant ...

We have stayed here numerous times in several of the suites & the ambiance is a force to be reckoned with. The pictures don't do this place justice, it is breath-takingly beautiful. Cata & Doug are sweet, fun & kind hearted. These two know Austin & can recommend some of the neatest places to see. I highly recommend this place & I promise you will not regret giving it a try!

We have never stayed at a B&B before. This was a wonderful experience. Very relaxing! Doug was awesome and we loved little Muffin ( sweet little dog). We will definitely be back.
5 sur juin 09, 2014
This was our first bed and breakfast we have been to and it was amazing. Doug is very accomidating. Great place for our mini honeymoon. Will book again!
5 sur mars 05, 2014
let me start by saying that this place made me realize that most hotels are really not in the business of providing comfort or relaxation. Casa Del Sol was a most relaxing destination and made us forget all of our troubles. The service is great and Doug made sure that if we needed anything he was available. We rented both rooms and we were very satisfied with the level of comfort and decor. The entire property was clean and well kept. The rooms are decorated with a kitschy southwest feel (Sol is the focus) and the beds are really comfortable. The kitchen areas while a little small were very useful and the smaller unit had a full size refrigerator. this combined with the BBQ in the back yard and the comfort level gets even higher! The grounds are open and green with a fire pit and a fountain that will put you to sleep with its mellow sounds. The Jacuzzi was great and we used it every day of our stay (4 nights). The house dog Muffin was really well behaved and was not the way at any time. All in all a great place to stay and we will definitely be coming back again this year. If you like staying in hotels and you like the impersonal nature of those establishments this place is not for you. If you want to get away and enjoy yourself without any worries then this place is for you!

This is my fiancé and my new favorite getaway spot! Not only because he proposed to me at this romantic little B&B, but because it is the perfect place to relax for the weekend! The rooms are clean and cozy and their quirkiness is charming! The owners provide great service without being ever-present, giving you plenty of time for privacy out by the pool, on your porch, lounging in one of many comfy spots, or enjoying the view! We will be back at least once a year!

We had an amazing evening and morning here. Beautiful property. Beautiful view. Eateries are everywhere. Fresh fruit and pastries for breakfast. The pecan roll was the best I've had. Can't wait to revisit!!

Got married just down the road at Lake Travis and it was just a few minutes away after we left our wedding. Doug and Cata were awesome. Place looked amazing, all the pics cannot really show you this amazing little place. My wife (originally from Austin) said this was typical Austin and was thankful I found this cozy gem. It was perfect spot for us to tour the Hill Country wineries and enjoy a bottle of Cabernet in the hot tub underneath a blanket of Texas stars. Cannot wait to come back and celebrate an anniversary at Casa Del Sol!
4,8 sur février 22, 2012
This property and suite was the most private and relaxing places we have stayed. We enjoyed every second! Romantic but also very suited for a man as well. I talked my hubby into a gorgeous leather sofa like theirs for our home; the front blew in and we snuggled in on theirs for a movie and appreciating the real wood fire. The suite allowed us to spend most of our time enjoying the property. The hot tub under the stars, with beautiful views of the lake and lights sealed the deal. The pool was perfect for larger groups as well. There was plenty of spots to lounge, even an outdoor shower. We thought it would be possible to have an intimate wedding there. We thought we might have used a microwave but they had plenty of beautiful dishes to eat in meals there. They had real wine glasses for sitting in front of the fire and watching a movie. We express appreciation to the owners for accommodating us at the last minute; it was a perfect place for recharging !
4,6 sur juin 13, 2011
We were there for four days and it was so nice and romantic (as much as can be with a four year old along). Our cottage was so romantically decorated! We had a small kitchen with all appliances needed. The property was clean and well cared for. The owner, Doug, was very nice and helpful but also gave us our space. I am so ready to go back to this BB!!!
4,6 sur avril 05, 2011
My husband and I just spent this past weekend (April 1-3 2011) here. We were absolutely thrilled with the room and the privacy.Along with a romantic flair too. We needed some quiet,relaxing, LAZY time and that is exactly what we got here. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area if you are looking for that . Such peaceful surroundings made it well worth the stay. The room was very clean and Doug took care of everything. Fresh pastries,fruit,coffee& coffee cream. What we liked MOST was there was not a CLOCK of any kind in the room. Small thing,but when you live your lives on schedules during the week that was a nice plus to us. Only down side was, there was a BIG golf tourney on TV(Shell Open) and there was no ESPN in the room. Wasn't a down side for me,only hubby.:) We recommend this B&B highly if you are looking for "down" time.
The Lavender Suite is our largest suite, with a spacious living and dining room in addition to the roomy light-filled bedroom. The romantic bedroom has a Queen canopy bed that overlooks your deck with a view of both Lake Travis, and the pool and hot tub. The living room's leather seating is arranged around the natural fireplace, and a 42" flat screen TV. The dining room has a Mexican pine dining table that is set up for 4 to 6, but has an extension that can be added to seat up to 8. The Lavender Suite has a full bathroom, with an Italian glass tile vanity. There is more than ample space in the living/dining room area for an extra portable Queen bed, if needed, for 2 more guests.

We all know the story of how Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) late co-founder Steve Jobs attended a calligraphy class at Reed College that gave him a tremendous aesthetic advantage over Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates when it came to designing the typography for the Macintosh computer. It is particularly impressive to see how Jobs transferred the skills from one area of his life and applied them to another.
The Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B), Charlie Munger, has once remarked that not taking this approach to life is "like being a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest." I'm about to graduate from a liberal arts school, and one of my majors is history, and I have often wondered: How could I apply my history major to investing?
And then it hit me. Almost every class I've ever taken on 20th century history has been a series of one bad thing happening after another. For the heck of it, I went to the 1900s History website to get a quick rundown of all the disastrous events that have struck in the past 100 or so.
And here's a snippet of what has happened: the sinking of the Lusitania, WWI, Pearl Harbor, the Bataan Death March, WWII, the Holocaust, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, Great Depression, explosion of the Hindenberg, Mt. St. Helen's eruption, the sinking of the Titanic, the Great Depression, The Stock Market Crash of 1929, St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Oklahoma City Bombing, Murder of Rasputin, the assasination of President McKinley, JFK, Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy, the Munich Olympics Massacre, the Fatty Arbuckle Scandal, the sinking of the Titanic, the Vietnam War, the Challenger disaster, and the Columbine shooting. Yikes. What a fun century, eh?
But here's the thing. Keeping this in mind provides a great amount of necessary perspective when it comes to investing with dividend growth stocks that have long records of dividend increases. I mean, Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) has been paying a dividend since 1896, and has been raising it for over 50-plus years. Remember when the Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferninand got assassinated? Yeah, Procter & Gamble was paying out a dividend then. It then continued to pay a dividend through Pearl Harbor, WWII, the Korean War, and has raised its dividend every year since at least the Vietnam War era.
And what are the screaming headlines talking about today? The debt crisis with Greece and severe fiscal woes in the Euro zone? The US Treasury printing money in a way that might lead to 7-8% annual inflation? This seems almost tame compared to some of the bigger problems we've seen in the past century. Check out the headlines on the Wall Street Journal complaining about Lord-knows-what - would you prefer that, or trying to invest during the Cuban Missile Crisis? Do you think it felt relaxing calling your broker to buy shares of Anheuser Busch (NYSE:BUD) in 1957 right after hearing that the Soviets launched Sputnik into orbit?
But here's what I find interesting - not only are the problems tamer now compared to what our country has seen over the past century, but many of the dividend growth stocks are much stronger today than they were fifty to sixty years ago. Procter & Gamble has much larger economies of scale, product outreach, and brands under the P&G umbrella than it did right after WWII.
This is why being a history major has pointed me in the direction of dividend growth investing. Not only do these companies manage to stay alive when everything hits the fan, but they continue to give their investors an even larger amount of profits than the previous year. Here's a quick list of some companies that have managed to raise dividends for over 51 years:
And here's the really crazy thing - not only has Emerson Electric (NYSE:EMR) paid out a larger dividend every year since 1957, but its November 2011 increase was a 16% rate hike. Sometimes, when I talk about Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) potentially raising its dividend 8-10% annually for the next 10 years, I get the 'ole stink eye from some investors who think that is way too optimistic of a prediction. They may be right - but who would have thought in 1957 that Emerson Electric would raise its dividend every year for the next half century, and then give a 16% dividend increase in 2011?
Investing in the same stocks for the long-term is all about identifying strong business models that come with the competitive advantage of a strong moat, and I can't think of a better indication of such a company than looking for the firms that have been paying out increasing amounts for thirty, forty, even fifty years.
It's easy to read the bad news in the headlines and wonder how it will affect your investing strategy. But that's why I look to the companies that have records of not only surviving when disaster strikes, but continue to get stronger every year as technology increases efficiency, the economies of scale get larger, and the brands become entrenched.
If we experience another stock market crash like we saw in 1987, how could you possibly worry if you plan on owning a portfolio stuffed with Coke, Pepsi (NYSE:PEP), Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE:CL), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) for the long term? This might be why dividend growth stocks seem so perfectly suited for long-term investing. Even when disaster strikes, more and more profits continue to roll in.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Chapter One
Beta'd by bobandbill
Rays from the afternoon sun reflected off a pair of glass doors as they slowly slid open. The smell of donuts wafted into the open air, accompanied by the bustling sounds of the mall.
"...So I said 'Guess what!', and she says, 'What?' Then I said, 'Nothing!' It gets her every time. You should seriously try it." Laughing, the speaker turned to his companion and lightly punched him on the shoulder.
"You want to get something to eat, Kysa?" Both boys' brown hair ruffled in the wind as they walked through the doorway. The second teen frowned for a second.
"Not really, maybe later." Kysa thrust his hands into the pockets of his dark green hoodie and smirked. "By the way, what's this I hear about you and a certain classmate of ours? Chloe?"
Wide-eyed, his friend looked up at him sharply. "What?"
"Come on, Jake." Kysa side-stepped to avoid a wayward toddler.
Jake chuckled. "You're going to pay if you spread that one around. I mean it."
Smiling, Kysa unzipped his hoodie and stuffed his hands into his jeans pockets instead. "Relax, mate."
The two boys wove their way through the crowds of people, all walking in different directions along the same, shiny, brown floor tiles. Various shops lined both sides of the walkways, with the afternoon rush flowing through their doors.
Kysa ran a hand over his dark brown hair, smoothing it back into relative tidiness. He glanced at the simple sign hanging from the roof ahead, listing upcoming shops. "You want to look around Woolworths?" He pointed to the supermarket on their left.
"Yeah," Jake shrugged and scuffed his feet along the ground. "There isn't much else to do."
They paused as the automatic barrier swung inwards to admit them. Neither collected a basket or trolley before they wandered along the first aisle.
"Wow, tissues. How interesting." Kysa let out a mock yawn. "So, can you come see a movie this weekend?"
Jake opened his mouth to answer, but stopped. He gazed intently forward, at a man entering the aisle from the opposite end.
"What?" Kysa demanded, after not hearing a reply.
Finally, Jake looked at his friend. "Look at that guy," he hissed. "Doesn't he look a bit like you?"
Kysa looked around blankly until he spotted the man, and then started scrutinising him. He was probably in his late twenties, wore jeans, a shirt, a black baseball cap and old sneakers, but his gaze was drawn to the man's face. Jake also looked between the man before them, and his friend.
He instantly noticed the way both held their jaws, and the identical shapes of their faces. Curiously, Jake waited for Kysa to respond.
The man's reflective sunglasses and blank expression made it hard to tell if he noticed the teenagers staring at him. He carelessly passed the pair, and they quickly averted their eyes.
After another moment of silence, Kysa snorted. "Yeah, sure. We could be twins." He tapped the lens of Jake's glasses with his finger. "I thought these were meant to help you see."
Stepping back, Jake swatted his hand away. "I'm serious. Come on, let's take another look."
"No way, I'm not becoming a stalker. Let's go do something fun." Kysa grabbed his friend's white sleeve and tried to pull him towards the exit.
Jake sighed. "Can I at least get a drink while we're here?" He resolutely strode to a cooler next to a checkout and pulled out a can.
They stood in line behind an old man clutching a bag of cat food, who fumbled in his wallet for money. Kysa studied the DVD store opposite and shuffled impatiently.
After declining a receipt, Jake nudged Kysa. "See, there he is again."
Both of them watched as the man strode through the exit, without buying anything. He walked briskly straight through the middle of the crowd and stopped outside a newsagent.
"You want something fun? I bet you ten bucks you can't get his hat." Jake glanced sideways at his slightly taller friend.
Kysa gave him a lopsided grin, "You mean you want me to steal it?"
"Well, if you can. I mean, there's so many people here you'd probably trip before you got there. I think my money's safe."
Kysa grinned from ear to ear, slipped out of his hoodie and handed it to Jake. "Hang on to that for me, and keep up if you can. Just to make sure I don't try to cheat you."
Then he ran.
He kept his eyes fixed on the man's head. Thankfully the man was tall, so he had little trouble keeping track of him. Kysa zigzagged between people and jumped over a stray basket.
The man had moved on from the newsagent, walking in the direction of the food court. Kysa slowed to a fast walk to let Jake catch up.

Gayle Brown stood with a packet of sugar in each hand, as if weighing them. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded to herself, returning one to the shelf and depositing the other in her trolley.
She adjusted the bun in her hair before resuming her progress down the shelves and glanced at a used envelope in her hand. It had a shopping list neatly written on the back, with the occasional item scrawled in a messier script.
"Just...milk left..." Gayle mumbled to herself.
Milk endured the same scrutiny as the sugar, as Gayle hummed an indistinct tune. It took her a few tries before she se
ected two blue cartons.
"Wilson!" she exclaimed. A grey-haired man approached the trolley, carrying a packet of small dried fruit. "No no dear, not home-brand. Go get another."
With a meek smile, Wilson nodded and turned back to the shelves. He straightened his tie and adjusted his collar as he walked. Carefully, he returned the packet to its prior place before picking up another smaller one, with the same price tag as the rejected brand.
Impatient, Gayle sighed and turned around. She brushed past a large, balding man picking up cheese on her way to a vacant register.
By the time Wilson left the aisle, she was already passing food to the checkout attendant. She waved her husband over, smiled apologetically at the employee and grabbed the packet. "And here are the sultanas. Could you lift the bags please, darling?"
The calico straps of the densely filled bags dug into his hands. He lifted them into the trolley silently, while Gayle extracted her purse from the pouch around her waist. "Do you have change, love?" she questioned the teenage girl at the register as she held out two yellow, fifty dollar notes.
Wilson pushed the trolley as Gayle guided it from the front. She stopped abruptly and let out a small gasp. "Oh no, we forgot about Princess! She needs more cat food."
He hesitated for a second before speaking slowly. "Well, you sit here with the shopping and I'll go back to get some."
With the trolley sticking out, Gayle sat on a metal bench to observe the other shoppers. She smiled cheerily at a baby peering out of its pram and waved. As the baby's pram rolled away, she squinted down towards the supermarket.
She looked curiously at two boys outside, as one thrust his jacket at his curly haired companion. The first started running, and a second later the other followed, slightly slower.
As she continued watching, the boy snuck up behind a tall young man, and she gasped as he ripped the hat straight from his head. He tossed it to his friend and turned around towards where she was sitting.
Slowly, the man turned around. She watched transfixed as the second boy thrust it back into his friend's hands and they started running again.
>> >> >> >> >> >> >> >>
"Hey! Get back here!" The man charged after the two teenagers.
Kysa hurtled forward as fast as he could. A smile slowly emerged on his face as he felt the adrenalin rush through him. His feet pounded out the rhythm to a silent melody that steadily rose in intensity as he ran.
After a few seconds, he turned to see Jake lagging a few metres behind, and motioned that he was going to throw the hat. Jake shook his head. Giving an apologetic grimace, he suddenly veered left around a corner.
"Thanks!" Kysa yelled bitterly over his shoulder. Turning back to look ahead, he had about a second to take in the trolley full of groceries in front of him.
"Oh craaap!"
Kysa knew it was too late to stop, and squeezed his eyes shut.
His knee connected with the trolley, and a split second later the rest of his body slammed into the side. The trolley and Kysa hit the floor with an almighty crash.
He rolled and lay on the floor for a moment, winded. Milk was pooled around the trolley; a collection of shattered eggs splattered the tiles of the floor. Shoppers stopped to gawk at the scene of carnage and an old woman gasped from the bench next to him.
Kysa leapt to his feet and winced, as a burning pain shot through his knee.
The man's footsteps were still pounding behind him. His head-start from the ambush was almost gone, so despite the pain he started running again.
"Police!" bellowed a voice from behind him. Kysa almost tripped with surprise.
"Oh, great, a cop. That makes this all better," he muttered between breaths, "This is worth way more than ten bucks."
People leapt out of the way in shock as two guys raced through, running as if they were on an empty race track. Kysa's legs felt to him like they weren't even there. He resolved to murder Jake slowly, perhaps bashing him around the head with his ten dollars and the stupid hat.
Pounding around a corner, the teen almost skidded into a wall.
"Stop!" the man behind him yelled again.
Kysa smelled chicken as he darted past a family eating at a glossy square table. With barely a thought, he swooped past and grabbed a drink cup. Looking over his shoulder, he hurled it at the man's face.
It barely connected with his chin. Orange liquid erupted over his face and dripped to the floor. Kysa heard the ice hit the ground, and the curse from his pursuer.
An exit sign appeared at the end of the corridor, and Kysa felt a wave of relief wash over him. He slipped through the automatic doors just as they opened.
Bursting into the sun, Kysa saw the secluded car park and headed for it. A second or two later, the man emerged from the shopping centre. His sunglasses were gone, to reveal narrowed brown eyes.
Kysa dove behind a car. He clutched his knee as it began to throb again. The only other person in the car park was the cop, and after a quick glance from behind the car, Kysa saw that he was protecting the only exit.
He pulled the black cap over his head and bent low. Scuttling to the next car, he wondered how it was possible not to hear his heartbeat from twenty metres away.
The man quietly advanced, but Kysa could see his feet by looking under the cars. Taking a deep breath, he leapt up and vaulted over the bonnet of the car.
"Hey!" yelled the man as he resumed chase. "You can't go anywhere. Now give me my bloody hat back!"
With a burst of speed, Kysa hurled himself at the chain link fence. He grabbed the top and started to swing his legs over. The man grabbed his leg and pulled.
Kysa strained to hold on, pulling against the strong grip on him. He kicked out with his other foot, and felt it connect with something. A grunt came from below him, and the force pulling him down instantly disappeared.
He tumbled over the fence, a lot faster than he'd intended, and landed on his shoulder. Clutching it, he stood up. His prize remained triumphantly atop his head. "Sorry!" he called to the man, who was about to begin climbing the fence.
The police officer stopped as he saw the boy run off. He knew there was no way he'd find one teenager in the crowd on the street at the end of the alley. With an exasperated exhalation, he started listing details in his head.
Jeans, white t-shirt, dark shoes, and my cap...

IceRays broadcaster Lippolis leaving for Omaha of USHL
