Long before the Amarillo Bulls' loyal fans arrive at the arena for the opening puck drop, Bulls players, coaches and trainers have been preparing for the game.
Some is 100 percent about the game — pre-game skating exercises, strategy meetings with head coach Dennis Williams, skate sharpening by volunteer Joe Bennett and equipment manager Bernie McDonnell.
And some of the preparation is 100 percent not focused on game night.
The hours leading up to the dropping of the puck can include nap time and playing video games, and it always includes a game of Sewer, where players gather in a circle, kicking a soccer ball around to each other. It's a tradition enjoyed even by players in the National Hockey League.
Unlike many athletes who arrive to their sporting events dressed casually, Bulls players arrive to the rink dressed in suits and ties.
"It's not superstitions we have going on," Williams said. "It's more about a routine. I believe on game day setting a routine is important to be a successful franchise."
Amarillo Globe-News photographer Sean Steffen spent a day with the Bulls, telling their story through photographs. Enjoy his work in these photos in this slide show.
The Bulls will play the Wichita Falls Wildcats at 7:05 p.m. today and Saturday in the Amarillo Civic Center Complex Cal Farley Coliseum, 401 S. Buchanan St. For tickets, call 806-242-1122 or visit www.panhandletickets.com.

Cruz sticks with critique of Jimmy Carter, day after cancer revelation
updated to note Cruz tweet.
DES MOINES, Iowa – Sen. Ted Cruz stuck to his stump speech Friday at the Iowa State Fair "soapbox" – including the part drawing a parallel between the Obama era and the failed domestic policies, economic malaise and "feckless" foreign policy of Jimmy Carter.
Carter begat Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama is setting the stage for another conservative revolution, preferably led by him. That's Cruz's argument, a standard element of his pitch to voters.
But this came just a day after Carter, 90, announced that he has cancer that had spread to his brain, would begin radiation treatment immediately, and was at peace with whatever happens.
Asked whether his attack was appropriate, given the grave threat to the health of the 39th president, Cruz defended his remarks.
"What I commented on was the public policy of the Carter administration in the 1970s, and it didn't work," he said, pressed by an AP reporter. "Millions of people hurt and as a result it sparked a grassroots movement to turn this country around. The same thing is happening because we're seeing the same failed public policy. The same reaction – people are yearning for morning in America."
He added nothing about Carter's condition, though on Thursday he did Tweet best wishes, as aides noted — though in a few brief Q&As with reporters Friday about his Carter comments, Cruz did not add such niceties.
Our thoughts and prayers are with President Jimmy Carter: http://t.co/zAAvkOht3S
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) August 20, 2015
Cruz has an uncanny ability, even for a politician, to deliver the same lines over and over. But he also has something of a habit of sticking to well-tested lines even when events suggest a tweak might be in order.
In June, speaking in Michigan, he pulled out a standard laugh line mocking Vice President Joe Biden. That was four days after Biden's son, Beau Biden, had died of brain cancer. The funeral hadn't yet taken place.
"Joe Biden … You know what the nice thing is? You don't even need a punch line. I promise you it works. At the next party you're at, just walk up to someone and say, 'Vice President Joe Biden,' and just close your mouth. They will crack up laughing," he had told the crowd in Michigan.
He quickly issued an apology via Facebook and Twitter.

Lady Gaga talks afterbirth, her new album, smoking pot and Madonna
In case you didn't get the message when Lady Gaga arrived at the Grammys Sunday night in an "egg," she was simulating rebirth. In a new interview with Billboard, she explains herself: "I was thinking about birth. I was thinking about embryos. Even my hair color was a washed out rose color that I had at the Grammys, it was meant to be a hair expression, an after birth." So maybe I was wrong when I suggested her hat was a fontanelle. It was actually the mucus plug. Ok, I just really grossed myself out.
She also addresses "Born This Way's" striking similarity to Madonna's "Express Yourself," sort of: "Harkening back to the early '90s when Madonna, En Vogue, Whitney Houston and TLC were making very empowering music for women and the gay community...the lyrics and the melodies were very poignant and very gospel and very spiritual. I said, 'That's the kind of record I need to make.' "
If you needed your daily drug reference from LG, who stressed that she couldn't lie to her Little Monsters: she does, indeed, smoke pot when she writes songs: "[The new album] is quite eclectic. It ranges from 'Born This Way' being very light, to the rest of the album becoming quite darker. I, in jest, say that 'Born This Way' is the marijuana to the heroins of the album, the ultimate intense intoxication of the record." We want to know what she's smoking when she comes up with her outfits.
As you know, Lady Gaga, in a bit of news that even she couldn't manufacture, earned the 1000th No. 1 on the Hot 100 this week with "Born This Way."

Historical Traveler Reviews The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa Bath
Genteel living stil exists in bath
I lived off the Royal Crescent when I was a student at Bath University in the 80's. Every morning, on the way to Bathwick Hill hitch hiking point, I walked past this hotel and was always curious about what it was like inside. My curiosity was heightened by meeting Sir Lawrence Olivier one morning as he exited the hotel after an obviously heavy night of partying.
Well I finally have made it over 20 years later, and all I can say is that it was worth the wait. The ambience, the rooms, the staff, the food, the location all lived up to my expectations. The room was sumptiously furnished, the agrdens delightful, the spa was very relaxing, the service polite and efficent, and the overall experience outstanding. The door staff were even kind enough to give us a lift to our restaurant sinmce we were running late.
And was Lord Olivier still in residence? Sadly not, he passed on several years ago. But I did see Noel Gallagher of Oasis in reception as I checked out (and he was perfectly civil and polite!)
PS I was watching the last episode of Inspector Morse a few weeks ago, you know the one where he finally reveals his first name and gets the girl. Where did he take her for a romantic weekend away? The Royal Crescent Hotel...
A real treat
A top class hotel with a steam, spa complex to die for. Absolutely fantastic. Treat yourself to a luxury romantic weekend at a price. The food in the restaurant was excellent although at £50 per head plus wine a liitle overpriced.
The perfect 5-star experience
For me, the Royal Crescent was the perfect five-star experience in Bath. The spa facilities are excellent and the restaurant was spectacular (although pricey). Most importantly, the staff actually cared about making my stay pleasurable.
Nice hotel
On arrival shown to room, even though advised by phone it would be no 14, it was not and no other available. Expensive for back of house garden view but we arrived late and wanted to rest so stayed. If we go again I will demand confirmation of Cresent view. After all this the hotel is very beautiful the staff very helpful, we met with the asst. Gen Manager and she was great, also the concierge at the hotel go out of there way to be helpful from car parking to resturant bookings. The Spa is fab but book well in advance of your stay to get a treatment go for a swim after dark and it will be lit by candles - very romantic.
Romance is not dead
WE stayed at the Royal Crescent hotel in what was one of the hottest weekends of the summer. When we arrived, we were shown to our room which was at the basement level, but it was superb, and even had it's own garden where we ate breakfast, lovely. Unfortunately I had cut my foot earlier in the week before we arrived, and I was unable to use the spa as I had stitches which I had to keep dry.The restaurant was lovely and we had the only al-fresco seating that there was, wonderful memories of eating out on a superb warm evening by candlelight- very romantic. We took a trip on the hotel's boat for a champagne cruise and were the only couple on the boat- it was so romantic. Our room was a suite and we had no complaints, it was very comfortable and the staff were friendly. All in all I would recommend to anyone looking for a really romantic short break to stay in the Royal Crescent hotel.
Not So Royal Crescent Hotel
My 2 1/2 days at the Royal C. started badly--got worse -- and then ultimately recovered. I arrived early on October 13th to find the hotel had no record of my reservation. Fortunately, I had a signed confirmation letter on Royal Crescent letterhead (I booked through their Toll Free 1-800 number). After many minutes of mysterious goings on in the manager's office, the receptionist returned to say, "We have a room for you." Apparently, my reservation had been entered for "the wrong day," but I wouldn't be suprised if it hadn't been entered at all.As the room was still being cleaned, I left and roamed around Bath for a few hours and then returned. The receptionist was on duty all alone, both manning the phones, the front desk and taking people to their rooms. I ended up standing around -- again -- for many minutes before I was helped.Finally, she took me up to the 3rd floor to Room 24 (Standard Double), which was pretty, but gave new meaning to the words "obstructed view." The window was completely blocked by the building's original 18th century concrete decorative columns, through which it was impossible to see anything other than a sliver of light.I told the receptionist that while I didn't mean to be difficult, for a 5-star hotel or 1st Grade -- or whatever the top of the line rating they have -- it was shocking at how badly things were going so far. First no reservation, now this. And that surely prospective guests should be informed at the time of booking to the fact that the view could be blocked.She said she'd talk to the manager, who then made amends and gave me Room 14, a "Superior Deluxe" double on the 2nd floor. And that room was beautiful, with its window looking directly out onto the Royal Crescent lawn and fall foliage and a view of the curving Crescent townhouses themselves.Needless to say, I was now a happy camper and the rest of the stay was lovely -- unless you count the issue of my Room Service dinner being charged 2 pounds more than what was listed on the menu and having to mention it and then the chaos between Room Service and the Front Desk. Turns turns out they have recently changed the prices, but neglected to change the menus.But after the trials of Day 1, the rest of my stay was lovely. It's an elegant, intimate place, as is its spa, where you can soak in heated pools and tubs of varying temperatures as part of your hotel rate. Paid extra for a wonderful salt scrub and massage.The waiters, concierges and maids were sweet, friendly and attentive -- much more so than the Front Desk staff , who, as management, were more formal and aloof.My suggestions for anyone booking the Royal Crescent: Use their Toll Free # listed on their website, so you can discuss what view you will be getting. If your room is on the 3rd floor, it's possible you'll get an obstructed view.Also -- on their website, click on the icon for "Special Deals," as they have some very large discounts.
Royal retreat
You can hardly distinguish the Royal Crescent from the other private residences at this beautiful location; nothing ostentatious, just discreet and friendly service, no glamour, just a real feelling of comfort and bien-�tre with all the modern comforts. Great location and pleasent garden for an al fresco breakfast or drink and there's a spa.
I'd love to go back
Excellent hotel in good location.
We stayed at the Royal Crescent Hotel for 2 nights in August 2003. The location in the middle of the Royal Cresent was ideal, within easy walking distance of the town centre. We had a wonderful stay, in a standard room at Summer sizzler rate of �160. The room was beautifully furnished, including a new orchid plant each day. There is a lovely acre garden to relax in or eat and drink alfresco. The one evening meal we had in the restaurant was very good though pricey, with excellent service. The spa is wonderful with pool, sauna, steam room and two plunge tubs and small secluded grass area for sunbathing. Unfortunately we couldn't stay as long as we wanted as The Three Tenors and quests were taking over the whole hotel for the next 3 days to do a free concert in front of the Royal Crescent. Placido Domingo was in residence whilst we were there and we would have loved to have heard them in concert but unfortunately had to get back to London.
Over priced rip off
I stayed at the Royal Crescent Hotel for two nights in July 2003 and really loved Bath, but this hotel is tired and over-priced. We stayed in a 'Deluxe Double Room' at �245 per night and were disappointed not to have a front room and by how noisy it was. We then had to pay an additional charge of �18.50 per person for a cooked english breakfast which was nothing special.
Crazy prices, surly staff. Don't bother. Brandy Warrington Toronto
I have stayed at the Royal Crescent Hotel on 2 occasions now- once last October and recently in April 2003. On both occasions I was stunned by the quality of service and the beuaty and luxury of this hotel. The hotel is located slap bang in the middle of the Royal Crescent- the best location in the whole of Bath. The rooms- we stayed in a deluxe double and the Eliza Lucas suite- are outstanding with so many special little touches like Jane Austen novels and a teddy on the bed! In addition, they have a full library of videos and CD's and board games for you to borrow and each room comes with a video and CD player! The food is outstanding - we had breakfast and afternoon tea- the restaurant for dinner is very pricey but the menu looks amazing! The best part of the hotel however is the spa! There is a body temperature large pool and two teak plunge tubs and I have never felt as relaxed as I have been when I spent a few hours in there! It is all teak and stone and there was incense by the pool which was in semi darkness! Heavenly!

We Gather Together
... knitting basket beside the sofa.
After wandering around the market and buying some intriguing venison pies and Christmas puddings, we drove along the Frome River valley eventually finding a sunny table at a pretty local pub. It was weird being hot that late in autumn.
Pleasant but also disturbing. There should be frosts killing off the bugs... not this unseasonal warmth.
Next day... off to Avis and Peter Gunn's to get more value out of ...
Final flight home
... hour flight, but it was probably the best flight I've ever had! Once we landed, it took forever to get through passport control, but once I was through I collected my bag almost immediately and made my way through to arrivals. I saw mum, gave her a big hug and started to cry! It was so good to see her and I was happy to be home, despite leaving all the adventure ...
Vienna and back; the bits we missed - 0 miles
The plans for this year did not go to plan... Our house renovation was delayed, of course, but so much so that a trip to Canada, which was the plan, became impossible. Now the house is finished, or 95% done and we have decided to escape with a short trip to Vienna, via France and Italy, mostly to catch up on some old friends and do some bits we missed on our trip ...
Roman baths, Fashion Museum and Avon River Cruise
... the hand work that was involved in the detail. Some of the dresses took months to make - one example quoted 9 mths for a special to order gown. They used to make some little models about 3/4 of a metre tall as a sample before starting to make the big one to be sure the 'lady' was happy with every thing. They also had mens clothing which was equally detailed. I also loved the colours of the fabrics, the combinations, styling - well everything ...
Playlists and Potatoes
... now it's down to content. Someone is already following me, but no surprise that's Sara because I'm following her blog, lovely of her.
On a similar note, woke up to a flabbergasted email from Steven asking me what I had done, essentially. He's done reading TCM3. I'll suppress all snickering.
Went for a walk around Clifton about 10:30 and took two hours. It turned out to be a good walk although I didn't go in the jewellery shop ...

Though the name does not reveal it, Eddie from Ohio is a band from Virginia. The group began playing together in 1991 in local bars. Friends from James Madison University, Robbie Schaefer, Eddie Hartness, and Michael Clem found band mate Julie Murphy at Virginia Tech and began their musical tour of local clubs and bars playing cover songs of their favorite bands. Their music has drawn comparisons like the Grateful Dead meets Peter, Paul, & Mary, or Jewel meets Bare Naked Ladies. Eddie From Ohio combines many musical influences to create their own sound. Less than a decade after the creation of the band, the foursome began touring more famous venues across the United States.
The tight harmonies and humorous lyrics appeal to a wide variety of music lovers. They signed with a booking agent in 1996 and soon toured the country, filling venues like New York's Bottom Line and The Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, CA. Though the band had signed with a booking agent, they chose to remain independent in their recording career. The band still retains control of all of their releases and splits the business responsibilities evenly among themselves. Shaefer coordinates the tour schedule with the booking agent, Murphy manages the accounts and merchandise, Clem maintains the publicity and mailing, and Hartness keeps the band's touring vehicle, Harvey the RV, in good condition.
Like many self-made musicians, Eddie from Ohio does not rely on bit publicity to sell albums and concert tickets. The band has gained more fans by word of mouth than any other method. Fans, called Edheads, follow the band loyally. The grass-roots style of marketing gives the band an air of integrity in the eyes of their folksy fans. The way the band manages itself fits well with their laid-back style of music and cool demeanor. The band recognizes how much of their success they owe to their devoted fans. A group of "regulars" follows the band to venues around the country, spreading the word of the musical group that made it on their own.
Hard work, original music, and dedication have helped Eddie from Ohio make it to the success they have today. Today, the band has produced seven CDs, which have sold more than 100,000 copies. They have collected more than 17,000 fan names on their mailing list and receive airplay on over 100 radio stations worldwide. In addition to their self-managed touring career, the band has been invited to headline at prestigious festivals like Philadelphia Folk, Folks Festival in Lyons, Colorado, and City Stages in Birmingham, Alabama. The Washington Area Music Association awarded them the Best Contemporary Folk Group title in 1998. The energy of their music is astounding, even after many hard years on the touring circuit. The foundation of their music is built on hand percussion and acoustic guitar. The four-part vocal harmonies pull together the folk/rock sound to please audiences of all ages. Eddie from Ohio specializes in playing to a smaller crowd, and getting everyone on their feet enjoying the music. Audiences leave Eddie from Ohio concerts satisfied every time.

NEW YORK (AP) - Alfonso Soriano hit a three-run homer that gave the New York Yankees a seven-run lead, and the World Series champions extended their longest winning streak in three years to nine games by beating the Mets 8-3 Friday night.
Andy Pettitte (9-4), among the seven Yankees All-Stars manager Joe Torre is taking to Seattle, beat Al Leiter (4-8) in a rematch of last year's World Series finale.
In the opener of the second and last Subway Series of this regular season, Scott Brosius had a two-run single that gave the Yankees a 3-0 lead in the first and hit an RBI single in the third.
Tino Martinez added a pinch-homer off Turk Wendell in the eighth, the second pinch-homer of his career and second in 11 days. He has hit seven of his 17 homers in his last nine games.
Expos 10, Blue Jays 7
TORONTO (AP) - Lee Stevens hit a tying, three-run double in the seventh inning and Geoff Blum hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth as the Montreal Expos beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-7 Friday night.
Vladimir Guerrero and Mark Smith homered for the Expos, who rallied from a 7-4 deficit to win their third straight game.
Brad Fullmer hit a grand slam for the Blue Jays, who dropped to 14-9 against their Canadian rivals.
Carlos Delgado and Jose Cruz Jr. also homered for Toronto.
Braves 6, Red Sox 5, 10 innings
BOSTON (AP) - Brian Jordan's bases-loaded single in the 10th inning Friday night lifted the Atlanta Braves to a 6-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
The win was costly for the Braves, however, as shortstop Rafael Furcal could be lost for the season with a dislocated shoulder.
Atlanta's Chipper Jones homered off Pesky's Pole in right field in the eighth inning to tie it at 3, then the Braves added two in the ninth.
After first announcing that Furcal would have season-ending surgery after completely dislocating his left shoulder, the team said it was possible, but not definite, that the 2000 NL Rookie of the Year would not be back this year.
Devil Rays 5, Marlins 4, 11 innings
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Russ Johnson singled home the winning run in the 11th inning and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays beat the Florida Marlins 5-4 Friday night.
Greg Vaughn, who earlier hit a three-run homer, doubled off Ricky Bones (2-3) with one out in the 11th. Johnson singled on the next pitch.
Phillies 3, Orioles 2, 10 innings
BALTIMORE (AP) - Travis Lee homered in the 10th inning as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to hand the Baltimore Orioles their fourth straight loss, 3-2 Friday night.
Lee was hitless in four at-bats, stranding six runners, before connecting off Mike Trombley (2-2). The solo shot, which traveled far over the right-field scoreboard, was his 13th homer this season and second in four games against Baltimore.
Rheal Cormier (5-1) worked the ninth, and Jose Mesa got three outs for his 23rd save in 25 chances.

Kyrgyz Republic
- History
- Mission Director
- Our Work
- Foreign Assistance Data
- Newsroom
- Transforming Lives
- Careers
- Key Documents and Publications
- Partnership Opportunities
The Kyrgyz Republic is a small, landlocked, mountainous country and the second poorest in Central Asia, with almost 40 percent of the population living below the poverty line. The nation is recovering from a deep political and economic crisis following the ousting of its president in 2010 and subsequent civil disturbances.
Despite the country's democratic progress, impediments to development remain, including low levels of foreign investment, high unemployment, numerous regional challenges, and the struggle against corruption. Nearly one-third of the workforce is employed abroad, reducing the available pool of qualified labor in-country. The implementation of democratic reforms remains a challenge, and limited energy resources and low agricultural productivity constrain economic growth.
In partnership with national and local governments, civil society, and the private sector, USAID strengthens the only parliamentary system in the region, improves communication between the government and the people, fosters greater economic prosperity, improves the quality of health care and education, and incorporates participation of marginalized communities in the political process and private sector development.
More than 100 field hearings, policy seminars and other public events supported by USAID have fostered communication between citizens and members of parliament.
To improve food security, USAID has distributed high quality seeds to 40,000 farmers since 2011.
Since 2002, access to college admission and merit-based government scholarships — earned by nearly 65,000 students — is determined by scores on a standardized test created with USAID support.
Democracy, Human Rights and Governance
USAID supports the consolidation and development of the Kyrgyz Republic's parliamentary democracy through assistance that improves the effectiveness and responsiveness of a range of governance institutions, including the Parliament, key ministries and local governments. USAID helps instill the rule of law and respect for human rights by supporting the judiciary, defense lawyers and activists that monitor and advocate for human rights. USAID assists civil society to more effectively partner with government and the private sector — particularly as a source of advocacy, public policy input and basic public service delivery. Recognizing that 50 percent of the population is under the age of 25, USAID invests in future generations through civic education, counter-trafficking and political participation efforts.
Economic Growth and Trade
In order for the Kyrgyz Republic to become more prosperous and demonstrate the efficacy of its system of democratic governance, it must accelerate economic growth, diversify its economy and ensure that economic opportunities exist for all citizens. USAID development assistance programs are national in scope, primarily focusing on regions that experience the highest rates of poverty, malnutrition and food insecurity. USAID increases prosperity by partnering with the public and private sectors to establish sound economic policies, build food security through targeted agricultural assistance, and promote energy sector reform to meet growing demand. USAID also encourages economic policy reforms that promote trade, attract investment and create jobs.
Health and Education
USAID partners with the Ministry of Health to improve access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) and to prevent the spread of these infectious diseases. HIV/AIDS efforts include providing support and outreach to high-risk populations, improving the quality of care, and working closely with the civil society groups that serve people at risk for and living with the disease. TB activities include training for labs and health care providers, assistance in improving infection prevention, support for new diagnostic technologies, and improving the clinical regulations that guide care.
USAID works closely with the Ministry of Education, local counterparts and other donors to expand and improve access to quality basic and higher education. USAID supports the Kyrgyz Republic's 2012 – 2020 Education Development Strategy by working with 7,500 teachers — who collectively reach 60 percent of the Kyrgyz Republic's primary grade student population — to improve student reading levels in the country. According to USAID's 2014 national study, only 10 percent of Grades 1 and 2 students and 1 percent in Grade 4 meet the country's National Basic Reading Requirements.

Donaire Eyes Arce, Calls Bullsh*t on Rigondeaux's Claim
By Ryan Burton
WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire is less than two weeks ago from his unification bout against IBF champion Jeffrey Mathebula.
While Donaire insists that he is 100% focused on Mathebula, he knows that bigger fights lie ahead. On a recent edition of The Boxing Lab, BoxingScene.com's official audio show, I asked Donaire if he was interested in facing the like of Jorge Arce and Guillermo Rigondeaux.
"I do want to face both guys. Arce and I are overdue. That fight should have happened a couple years ago," stated Donaire.
"If that (fight) doesn't happen the guy I want would be Rigondeaux. He has a belt and I want it. He's proven as an amateur but not as a pro. The same with Mathebula, he has a belt and I want it too," he continued.
A few days before his dominating knockout victory over Teon Kennedy, Rigondeaux told BoxingScene that all of the big names in the division (including Donaire) are afraid to face him. Donaire disagreed with the Cuban's opinion.
"I don't cuss much but I gotta call, 'bullsh*t'. Yes he accomplished a lot in the amateurs but not as a pro. You won that belt but you had problems with that tall guy (Ricardo Cordoba) on HBO. I have no problem fighting him," Donaire revealed.
You can listen to the interview in its entirety here: http://tobtr.com/s/3308401

Tour was outstanding. It was a very enjoyable day with lots of sites as well as information.
June 2016
Wonderful trip. Gary, our tour guide was knowledgable and friendly. He gave us plenty of time to explore each stop so we never felt rushed. They provided plenty of water to keep everyone hydrated.
May 2016
Good tour, very laid back, and the guide was very informative and nice, I like Arizonian and Phoenix.
December 2015
Paul was our driver and made the trip even more memorable. I recommend this tour to anyone and everyone and if you get Paul you'll enjoy it even more. The sights take your breath away and you really get a feel for the West. You also learn quite a bit too, especially at Montezuma castle. Up town Sedona is a fun little area and if you get a chance to visit Jerome AZ, you'll get to experience a pretty spooky ghost town. I will be bringing people on this tour again next time I'm over. Thanks again Paul for a great day.

Mark led us on this tour. He did a really good job, visiting Sedona was a highlight. He was able to accommodate my wish to do an off road 4-wheel drive in the middle. Comfortable seats and knowledgeable guide, I would recommend to anyone.

Paul was a great tour guide - very responsive to his guests.
June 2014
It was a good trip and the area is beautiful and well worth seeing. If I had one complaint it was that it was a long day and having to climb in and out of the van was a bit much as the day went on.

Amazing! I didn't have any eggs and wasn't gonna risk anyone's life by driving drunk to get any. These turned out yum as hell! I think I even like them better than the egg ones I've made. I changed the amount to 6 cookies cause I'm already fat so I didn't need more than that.
These were so good! After reading some of the other reviews saying the dough was a bit dry, I went ahead and tossed in a small banana while creaming together the sugars and butters and it worked a treat. (This is something I did a lot to replace eggs in vegan baking.) There was only self-rising flour in the cupboard, so I just omitted the baking powder. Will make these again!
absolutely yum! ...don't miss the egg at all especially while "sampling" the dough! I used 1/4 cup shortening and 1/4 cup margarine in place of 1/2 cup margarine and added about 1/8 cup extra peanut butter while mixing all the ingredients to help keep the dough from crumbling; also greased the baking sheets. Tasty treat as is and would be complimented by topping with a little peanut butter or an icing or a chocolate kiss. No more egg in my pbc's, I'd rather eat the chicken (if had to choose)! I Thank God for you Meg running out of eggs :-).

Dorothy Parker Gin
Sku: 1734173
3 day lead-time required to confirm availability Why?
In an age of restless brilliance, Dorothy Parker was a singular sensation. A new Yorker at heart, her national celebrity sprang from her sharp, biting humor and widely quoted quips. Regularly seated at the famed Algonquin Round Table, she occupied the city's cultural and intellectual center stage. An iconic enthusiast of gin and an unconventional woman, no one could have been a more interesting drinking companion. Dorothy Parker American Gin - a blend of traditional and contemporary botanicals including juniper and elderberries, citrus, cinnamon, and hibiscus - is as delicious in a Gin & Tonic as it is in a Gin Daisy.

Overall, this was a great place to stay and I would definitely recommend it, It was such an interesting place that it gets it's own entry, which says a lot about it - but - if we are going to be picky - there were a number of frustrating things about it. If the detail interest you - read the full entry.

Set in low foothills north of Yellowstone National Park, this charming resort continues to use its hot spring-fed pools as a major attraction. Its comfortable lobby is a museum of the resort's long history. Conference facilities are located in two large buildings. Cabins are distributed around the larger buildings, and the latter include a saloon that attracts a lively crowd in the evenings.

We first stayed here in the 90's and decided to try it again with our Yellowstone trip. Not good unless you like dirty and tacky.
They did build new shower rooms at the pool, but went from spacious and dirty to cramped and dirty. A local told us they recently raised the cost for there pool passes by over 200%!! Now not only will they limit there times coming to the pool but will not spend another dime at the poolside grill or bar. They said they've spent thousands over the recent years eating and entertaining at Chico, but no more. We are no more as well.

Historical Traveler Reviews Chico Hot Springs Resort Pray
We paid for the extras
Sept 19, 2004 We had just spent 4 nights in a cabin in Roosevelt Lodge where it was cold and spartan. The only room available for the Saturday night was a jacuzzi room in the lodge. We didn't need the jacuzzi after the hot springs dip, it's a good thing cause we didn't have much hot water for showers either. I had a massage at the "spa." Nice after Yellowstone. Dinner was "uptown" in the dining room, we knew what to expect. Who would order seafood way out there? Checkout on Sunday morning was a madhouse! Long lines. We missed breakfast. We liked the pool, though it has little personality. Drinks were cheap at the pool. Mountain bikes were poor quality.
If your an average Joe your screwed.
Doors don't fit in door jams properly, very noisy coming and going. Locks and keys don't fit right in the doors and also makes things very frustrating. Makes a hell of a noise trying to get into and leave your room. No hot water in room.
Employees really don't give a damn unless you are rich and famous from what I read of the news articles on the walls.
The restaurant was expensive and no matter where you sat you felt like you were right next to the kitchen.
Chico is First Rate
Stayed here on 8/16/2004
Dinner was superb! Service was impeccable - may have been one of the best served dinners we've eaten. Breakfast buffet in the morning ($7.95 for adults, much less for kids) was a great buy too.
We stayed in the "old lodge", the room was spartan and didn't have a bathroom or sink which wasn't a huge deal, but note these rooms CAN BE VERY HOT in the summer and they have NO A/C ! Chico did provide a (noisy) electric fan though. This was only complaint. Hot springs pools were fun.
Thanks Chico - wish we had more time!
Kill the porch lights!
We just got back today. Great food. Great hot springs. No tech distractions (TV, phone, etc.). Awful, awful porch lights. We had 5 blazing away all night long within 20 feet of our king room in the Lower Lodge. It was all I could do not to sneak out there and unscrew them. No AC, so you need the windows open to stay cool and the inside of the room was lit up like Xmas from the lights. Also, you may want to bring ear plugs, because it may be quiet, or you may have to listen to people's ankle biters racing around on the porch (after midnight). Perhaps it's the porch lights that keep them juiced up so late. Be prepared.
Fantastic Lodge!!
Our family has been to Chico Hot Springs 6 times in the last four years. We are avid travellers. In comparing Chicos food, lodging, atmosphere, fantastic, breathtaking scenery to any posh resort in the Carribean or fancy hotel in any city USA-I'd say to you -Check this place out!!. The hot springs and spa are wonderfully relaxing. The bar usually has great bands on the weekend with an eclectic crowd. There are babysitters available. (we've always had great sitters.) If you are planning a trip out west, this is a fantastic stop before or after you do Yellowstone Park.
Take a break, come to Chico!
This is without a doubt the most relaxing place in Montana. You can feel the stress leave as you walk in the front door. The lodge is very reasonably priced if you don't mind smaller rooms and a shared bathroom down the hall. Even on the busiest weekends in the summer there's rarely a line for the bathroom so don't worry. If you prefer a more traditional hotel room, Chico has those too. Located in beautiful Paradise Valley, the views are magnificent. The Chico Dining room is definitely some of the finest cuisine in the state, but don't forget about the ribs at the poolside grill. Drop everything and book your trip here now!
Want to return to Chico for great honeymoon
My Sister and I visited her mother in law in Pray MT in 1998. We went to Chico several times and had an excellent time. It made my first trip to MT more memorable and wanting to return. My fiancee and I are planning a May 2005 wedding and I would love to return to Chico for our honeymoon. She has never been to MT and would love to have the romantic getaway Chico has to offer.
Hated to leave!
Chico Hot Springs was a wonderful resort. Their website does not do it justice. It was casual yet elegant. We couldn't have been treated better and our rooms in the lower lodge were beautiful. What an excellent way to relax and unwind. If you get the chance, go to the Chico Hot Springs Resort!
A Surprise in Paradise
I've been to Chico Hot Springs for dinner eight times over the past 15 years. This is not just another steak joint in Montana. The menu never fails to hit the mark without going overboard. A talented kitchen which knows it's limitations. I've also spotted some celebrities there over the years including, among others, Robert Redford and Sissy Spacek. If you're looking for a good spot in Paradise Valley, this is it!
What a wonderful place. All you could ask for and less..as in no TV or phones...the springs are delicious and stay open from 6 AM to 12Pm...from 6 to 9Am the pools are quiet before the youngsters arrive..and again between 10 and 12PM. THe lodge room we stayed in was cozy and nicely decorated..the lobby is no tech with board games and a piano....dining room serves excellent food and the whole expericence was GREAT..I am planning on going back ASAP!!

I've got a little probleme with the Trainer 188.8.131.52 on game version 220.127.116.11 when using the money cheat (num5) i started trainer then the game and at the first menu pressed F1 to activate the trainer, load my campaign and press Num5 for money, i go to buy player option and nothing happen. F6-F7-F7-F8 worked perfectly. Anyone have an idea, why? or what am i doing wrong?
I have a similar problem with my trainer as well - the Num5 option simply won't work, anymore. I've since gone on to learning how to edit my team and players in SQL, so it's not as much of a problem as it was before I started learning how to modify the save file.
I personally would like to see the turn freeze option to freeze the turns count down, but you play as usual. Perhaps a way of adding turns at will??

Central Lutheran Church
18th & Potter, Eugene, OR
Tickets are available at the door.
Suggested donation: $15, $10 for students.
In the 14th century, after many years of writing individual mass movements, composers began setting the Mass as a sort of unified cycle. Masses were the monumental musical edifices of the Renaissance, a role taken on by the symphony in a later era. The elaborate part music of the Ordinary (Kyrie, Gloria, etc). was in stark contrast to the Proper, which changed every day and was sung in Gregorian chant.
In FRANKENMASS, Vox Resonat recreates this musical architecture, but with a twist: The Ordinary is stitched together from some of the greatest masses by Morales, Palestrina, Byrd, Lassus, Machaut and Ciconia; the Proper is a selection of the most moving chants for the penitential season of Lent. Spectacular settings of the Lamentations of Jeremiah by Brumel and Rebelo round out the program.

How the Opinion of Others Affects Our Valuation of Objects
Authors: Daniel K. Campbell-Meiklejohnsend email, Dominik R. Bach, Andreas Roepstorff, Raymond J. Dolan, Chris D. Frith
- Agreement with reviewers activates the same neural circuitry as object rewards
- Basic signals of a reward are modulated by social influence on its value
- Strongly influenced individuals produce more neural responses to disagreement
- The anterior insula cortex responds to unanimous opinions of others
The opinions of others can easily affect how much we value things. We investigated what happens in our brain when we agree with others about the value of an object and whether or not there is evidence, at the neural level, for social conformity through which we change object valuation. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging we independently modeled (1) learning reviewer opinions about a piece of music, (2) reward value while receiving a token for that music, and (3) their interaction in 28 healthy adults. We show that agreement with two "expert" reviewers on music choice produces activity in a region of ventral striatum that also responds when receiving a valued object. It is known that the magnitude of activity in the ventral striatum reflects the value of reward-predicting stimuli [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. We show that social influence on the value of an object is associated with the magnitude of the ventral striatum response to receiving it. This finding provides clear evidence that social influence mediates very basic value signals in known reinforcement learning circuitry [9,10,11,12]. Influence at such a low level could contribute to rapid learning and the swift spread of values throughout a population.

Pressure? What pressure?
Maybe at age 21, Derek Jeter is simply too young to understand he should have been nervous about being the Opening Day shortstop for the New York Yankees.
Even though he was the obvious choice to replace the injured Tony Fernandez, Jeter joked he didn't believe he was going to be the starter until lineups were announced Tuesday.
"I wasn't nervous. I was real excited and anxious to start the season," Jeter said after helping the Yankees to a 7-1 win over the Cleveland Indians at Jacobs Field.
Jeter channeled his energy into a positive, even though he realized a young player can often make mistakes when he's too anxious.
"That's very true. When you're anxious, you'll do too much," said Jeter, who played 15 games last year for New York. "I just tried to relax. Everybody kept telling me that. You can be anxious, but you have to tone it down."
Fernandez is on the 60-day disabled list after suffering a fractured right elbow while diving for a ball during a March 24 Grapefruit League game against Houston. Jeter, voted the best minor-league prospect by most national publications in 1994 and the tops in the Yankee chain the last two years, filled the void with no problem.
First came a solo home run in the fifth, as Jeter took a Dennis Martinez fastball deep into the left-field bleachers to give New York a 2-0 advantage.
It was his first in the majors and the first by a Yankee rookie on Opening Day since Jerry Kenney hit one against Washington on April 7, 1969.
"It's always hard to get the first hit of a season out of the way," Jeter said. "I wasn't looking for a home run, but it was a great feeling."
The good feelings continued for Jeter in the seventh. With New York nursing a 2-0 lead and Cleveland's Sandy Alomar on second, Jeter showed the acumen of a player far beyond his years. He robbed Omar Vizquel of an RBI single by racing into short left field with his back to the plate to snare the looper.
"I didn't appreciate it because he took a hit away from me," Vizquel said with a good-natured smile. "I can certainly tell it was a good play. He looked good out there."
The Indians and Yankees play again tonight at 7 and Thursday at 1. Like all Cleveland home games for the remainder of the season, there are no tickets available.
Jack McDowell, who moved from the Yankees to the Tribe this year as a free agent, starts tonight's game against New York's Andy Pettitte. The Yankees send Jimmy Key to the mound Thursday against Cleveland's Orel Hershiser.
The Indians have designated catcher Jesse Levis and outfielder Nigel Wilson for assignment. They are hopeful both will clear waivers and join the Buffalo Bisons for Thursday's season opener in Nashville.
Wilson has already been bypassed by most teams once this spring, as the Indians -- the second-last team on the waiver-claim list based on last year's records -- took him from Cincinnati last month. He hit .317 with 18 homers last year for Indianapolis.
Levis, however, is a good bet to be picked up because most teams are on the lookout for catchers. Levis, 27, hit .333 in 12 games last year for the Tribe, and hit .311 with four homers and 20 RBIs in 66 games for Buffalo.
Levis made it known during spring training he wouldn't mind testing the waiver wire in hopes of getting claimed.
"If someone doesn't claim me, I'll be in Buffalo," Levis said over the weekend. "The whole thing is timing. It just depends on somebody needing a catcher. If they do, I have to hope that they've noticed me."
The loss was Cleveland's first in three Jacobs Field openers . . . Starting pitcher Dennis Martinez fell to 2-14 lifetime against the Yankees . . . The teams have met on opening day three times in the 90s and New York has won all three . . . The Tribe has not hit an Opening Day home run since Pat Tabler connected against Baltimore in 1987.

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - A smiling woman and boy knocked on John Wortendyke's door one morning with some newsprint magazines, study workbooks and what they called "the truth."
They were Jehovah's Witnesses. From talking with others in passing, Wortendyke knew Witnesses believed blood transfusions were sinful. As it happened, he was a hemophiliac who depended on another person's blood to do the clotting his own could not.
He invited them in, though. They made a good case for their religion. And the more Wortendyke compared his King James Version to their New World Translation, the more he wanted to be baptized a Witness.
About four months later, Wortendyke was having another hemorrhage. He headed to the emergency room for what would have been his 900th-plus transfusion. And he was only 21 years old.
He waved goodbye to his toddler son and wife, Leslie, standing in the doorway.
"Goodbye, Daddy!" little John said.
That got Wortendyke thinking as he crept along the road. This could be goodbye for real, he thought. Anything could go wrong with a transfusion. If for some reason he died, he would die never having proven his belief in Jehovah.
He never went to the hospital that day. Weighing the strength of faith against the fear of death, he vowed never to take another blood transfusion, knowing the decision could kill him. It was November 1970.
For Witnesses, "drinking" another person's blood - symbolized by a transfusion - represents an egregious sin. They believe blood is sacred. Consider, they say, Leviticus 7:26-27, as written in the New World Translation:
"And you must not eat any blood in any places where you dwell, whether that of fowl or that of beast. Any soul who eats any blood, that soul must be cut off from his people."
More doctors and hospitals today are accommodating patients who don't want blood transfusions.
One example of the shift toward patient choice is the emergence of bloodless surgery centers, one of which opened in Tampa, Fla., in February.
Several bloodless procedures exist, including the use of a machine to recycle the patient's own blood during surgery and drugs that increase red blood cell count beforehand.
Bob Mackey, a Jehovah's Witness, has fought for 35 years for widespread bloodless techniques. He helped pinpoint a network of doctors throughout Florida willing to operate without the option of transfusion. The list was scant in the 1970s.
In 1970, Wortendyke asked a fellow Witness to care for his family should he die while "keeping integrity to Jehovah on the blood issue."
Leslie Wortendyke began to believe as her husband did. She was baptized a Witness in 1972.
The Wortendykes started using ace bandages, ice packs and Tylenol. At least one bleeding episode a week was not unusual for him.
For severe hemophiliacs such as Wortendyke, hemorrhages occur often in areas near joints and can be set off spontaneously or with the slightest movement or bump against an object.
Some hemorrhages, especially those occurring in internal organs, can be fatal without transfusion, said Andrew Hano. The hematomas eventually cause the bleeding to stop, even without a transfusion, Hano said.
His doctors back in the '70s were right about one thing. About six months after Wortendyke stopped getting transfusions, he had a severe hemorrhage in his shoulder. Tylenol had no effect; the pain was too intense.
It was off to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, where Wortendyke used to get transfusions. No blood this time, Wortendyke told the staff. He just wanted some strong medication to ease his suffering.
Wortendyke says the doctors wanted to treat him with a transfusion. He called elders at the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall. They suggested Suncoast Hospital in Largo. Doctors there monitored Wortendyke's condition and injected him with painkillers.
In time, Wortendyke recovered, only to face another crisis seven years later in 1978. In his kidney, the hemorrhage could not be soothed with bandages and ice. As his blood content dropped to a near-fatal level, doctors urged Wortendyke to consider a transfusion. He refused.
After three weeks in the hospital, Wortendyke - by then an elder in his congregation - was home preparing to speak at a regional assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses.
In the 1980s, the onset of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was making transfusion a dirty word. Unlike today, donated blood was not tested for AIDS and some other diseases.
Attention turned to bloodless, or transfusion-free, techniques, some of which had already been in use for years, said Dr. Harvey Klein, president of the American Association of Blood Banks.
Thirty years have passed since the Witnesses appeared at Wortendyke's front door.
Now 51, he spends his time doing research on his computer or typing up talks for his turn to speak at the kingdom hall.
The hemorrhages keep Wortendyke bedridden at times. The arthritis in his knees, elbows, wrists, ankles and knuckles makes movement awkward and extremely painful.Yet, he says, marveling at the simple fact that he is alive, "The body is, truly as the Bible said, wonderfully made."

Le misteriose Feste dell'Alloro nei Monti Nebrodi
di Marcello Mento
Grosseto, January 7 - Authorities are preparing to mark the first anniversary of the cruise ship disaster that killed 32 people on January 13, 2012. It's expected that as many as 900 people will gather on the pier of Giglio Island off the Tuscan coast to commemorate the deadly events after the Costa Concordia hit a rock that caused the massive ship to capsize. Mayor Sergio Ortelli says the focus of the service on January 13 will be the survivors and families of those who died in the disaster, as well as emergency workers who rushed to pluck victims from the water. Pieces of the rock upon which the Costa Concordia crashed have also been saved. But the story of the sinking is far from finished, as efforts continue to raise the ship and remove it from the waters around the island. That removal was initially expected to begin sometime this month, but an official of the salvage company recently said it may be June at the earliest before towing can commence. Italy's environment minister warned last month that delays in removing the beached cruise liner could lead to further environmental damage. Another outstanding element of the story is the legal proceedings involving Francesco Schettino, the captain at the helm of the ship. He is facing possible criminal indictment for multiple charges of manslaughter. Schettino is also claiming he was wrongly dismissed by Italy's Costa Crociere cruise line over the deadly accident. A wrongful dismissal hearing continues on Wednesday, as Schettino's lawyer argues the dismissal process used by the company was not legitimate.

Equities head Mustoe leaves Pictet
Nick Mustoe, chief investment officer of equities at Pictet Asset Management, has left the Swiss fund manager after less than two years in the job.
According to a Pictet spokesman, Mustoe left the firm at the end of March because he decided "to take a break from his career". Mustoe could not be reached for comment.
Mustoe joined Pictet in July 2006. He was previously chief investment officer at Hermes, the UK investment manager owned by the BT Pension Scheme, which hired him from fund manager F&C in 2001.
At Hermes, Mustoe was the only internal candidate for the job of chief executive after Tony Watson retired in 2006. But the job went to Mark Anson of the California Public Employees' Retirement System, who has since been replaced by Rupert Clarke, Hermes' head of real estate.
At Pictet, Mustoe has been replaced by Richard Heelis, the group's head of regional equities, who also retains his former duties. Heelis is based in London and reports to Renaud de Planta, one of Pictet's eight managing partners.
In addition, Pictet has promoted its head of small-cap equities to deputy chief investment officer of equities, a new position. Aylin Suntay, who retains her former responsibilities, is based in Geneva and reports to Heelis.
