The Westin Key West Resort & Marina
Região local
The Westin Key West Resort & Marina is ideally located in the heart of Old Town, on the waterfront, one block from fabled Duval Street and next to Mallory Square. Our 37-slip Westin Marina is filled with vendors offering water sports and the waterfront promenade is lined with charming boutiques and shops.
Rich in history and unique in nature, Key West has a character all its own with a passion for preservation and zest for living much like historical figures John Audubon and Ernest Hemingway, who once resided in this island paradise. Sightseeing options are packed into this four-by-two mile island. In Key West, one will find the best hand-made cigars, the most luscious Key Lime pies, and high quality aloe products. Alive with museums, galleries, theaters, the world-famous Duval Street, sidewalk cafés, open-air bars, and legendary pubs, much of Key West remains the same, preserving its heritage and culture.
Guests of the resort have easy access to water-oriented activities of all kinds, including deep sea and backcountry fishing, kayak tours, snorkeling, sunset sailing, and waverunner tours. Nearby historic attractions include the Harry S. Truman Little White House and the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum.
Key West also offers a variety of family-friendly activities on land. Spend an afternoon at the Key West Aquarium, the Butterfly Conservatory, Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, or ride the Conch Tour Train through Old Town Key West. You can also take a lantern-led evening stroll down historic Old Town's shadowy lanes and discover the ghosts, ghouls, and legends of our haunted island paradise on the ghost tour.

It is in the breaking news sidebar!
And it's Sunday.
What? My wife watches it.
Me too, Doug the designer we love to hate and freaky flower stapling to bathroom walls Hilde!
I would run like hell if I ever saw Doug.
Who cares? Some ditzy singer dissed Bush and now Freepers are supposed to drop what they're doing and flame a cable channel that airs a rerun on which she appeared.
Get a life!! Change the channel. Better yet, turn off the TV and read a good book. This infantile whining is not what FR should be about.
I agree! My 'Freedom' fries are getting freezer burn. ;^>
But, I do thank you for the sage advice to us great unwashed.
Oh my, didn't see that one but the tin ceiling she did in the kitchen was sweet
We were just talking about that episode the other day. Hilde has done some hideous things, but that one takes the prize.
The hubby likes Amy Wynn because she has that tool belt and all the power tools!
In the immortal words of Miss Emily Littella, "Nevermind."
Good grief, you're certainly full of yourself! Can't imagine why you'd deign to associate with such a bunch of infantile whiners.

The wide receiver had 10 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 22-7 win over the Dolphins.
It's just four weeks into the season and there's a pattern developing--get the ball to A.J Green early and often, and the Bengals will probably win the game.
Andy Dalton and A.J. Green teamed up for 173 receiving yards in Thursday's win over the Dolphins. According to Elias, they have the second-most yards by a QB/WR duo who were drafted in the same year (both were taken in 2011) by the same team since 1980. Dan Marino/Mark Clayton (1983 draft) accounted for 8,469 yards and Andrew Luck/T.Y. Hilton (2012 draft) accounted for 4,131 yards.

A.J Green, and an impressive defensive performance, led the Bengals to a 22-7 led against the Dolphins. The Dolphins were helpless to stop Green, and the Bengals kept up good pressure to keep Miami off kilter. Trend of not finishing drives continues though with five field goals.

QB Ryan Tannehill has to do a better job of managing the pocket, but this Dolphins offensive line was handled tonight by the Bengals front-four pass rush. I expected more RPOs (run-pass options) and three-step routes in the Miami game plan to get the ball out quicker.

The Dolphins simply didn't have enough offense to compete with the Bengals, who won Thursday's game, 22-7. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to receiver Kenny Stills on the first drive and mostly stalled the rest of the game. Miami's defense couldn't cover Bengals receiver A.J. Green with its shaky cornerbacks. Green dominated Miami corners Tony Lippett and Xavien Howard with 10 receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown.
Have to question the throw from Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill on the interception. With the Bengals dropping to Cover 2 at the snap, Tannehill should see Bengals DB Chris Lewis-Harris as the underneath defender. Lewis-Harris is coached up to drop between the numbers and the hash. Get depth and read the QB. There wasn't an open window in the zone coverage for Tannehill to throw that ball. Bad decision with the Dolphins down 22-7 in the fourth quarter.
Bengals dropped into Cover 2 at the snap on the INT...Tannehill should've read that from the jump.

JJ Watt had surgery on a herniated disc in his back in late July, then another back surgery two months later. Two surgeries in three months.

The Dolphins' offense has 152 total yards after three quarters. Bengals receiver A.J. Green has 166 receiving yards.
Adam Gase has spent much of the second half either taking notes or standing on the sideline with his arms crossed. He is a 38-year-old first-time NFL head coach and he told me he sometimes gets frustrated and impatient. He looks frustrated and impatient right now. If this continues it's fair to wonder if roster/lineup changes are coming.

OSHA News Release – Region 5
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 5 News Release 04-1769-CHI
September 15, 2004
Contact: Brad Mitchell
Phone: (312) 353-6976
CLEVELAND -- An Ohio automotive parts manufacturer who failed to protect and train workers about hazards associated with mechanical power presses is facing proposed fines of $540,000. The fines follow an accident in which an employee lost three fingers and suffered extensive upper body injuries, the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced today.
"It is critical that employers protect their workers from occupational hazards," said U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao. "The significant fines of $540,000 proposed in this case reflect the seriousness of the hazards found and our commitment to aggressively enforcing worker health and safety laws."
Plastech Exterior Systems Inc., an automotive stamping manufacturer in Newton Falls, Ohio, was cited for 16 safety and health violations, including seven alleged willful violations, for failure to secure in place the two-hand control stations of mechanical power presses.
"Management knew that workers operating mechanical power presses were exposed to serious hazards and yet they failed to take the action they knew was needed to eliminate those hazards," said John Henshaw, assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health. "Even after a worker suffered serious injuries, another employee was allowed to work on the very same machine-again without any efforts to abate the hazards-and that's unacceptable."
The citations are the result of an OSHA investigation that began April 8, in response to a complaint that an employee had suffered an amputation injury to his hand and serious injury to his arm while operating a mechanical power press. The investigation found the amputation happened on March 17.
OSHA assessed Plastech $490,000 in penalties for the seven willful citations. The company was also issued for five serious citations with penalties totaling $15,000, two repeat citations with a penalty of $35,000, and two other-than-serious citations with no monetary penalty. Plastech has 15 working days to contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

Gogebic Taconite scales back sampling to avoid asbestos-like rock
Talks begin with DNR, tribes on future requirements
Gogebic Taconite has pared back the volume of rock sampling for a proposed iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin to avoid potential contact with an asbestos-like rock material.
The company has resubmitted plans for a bulk sampling permit with the Department of Natural Resources, and the agency posted the plans on its website late Monday afternoon. The DNR had sought additional information after the initial plan was filed with the agency earlier this year.
Bulk sampling is a preliminary step before the company files a formal application to mine iron ore from a 4-mile long area in Ashland and Iron counties. The company has estimated the cost of developing the open pit mine at $1.5 billion. The project would employ about 700 workers.
Meanwhile, the company and the agency began meeting Tuesday to discuss the future application process and the information the DNR will need in its environmental review of the project.
Issues range from water and wetlands protection, to air quality and the potential for archaeological artifacts on the site.
Gogebic moved ahead with its plans after the Legislature rewrote environmental regulations to the company's liking. The changes were attacked by environmentalists, but business interests said the revisions balanced conservation and the need for regulatory certainty.
Ann Coakley, a mining regulator with the DNR, said the meetings in Madison will last all week — and perhaps longer. Also participating in the talks are representatives of the Bad River band of Lake Superior Chippewa and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission.
Bad River leaders have been vocal critics of the project.
Bad River has been given authority to regulate water quality on its reservation, which lies downstream from the plant. That regulatory authority could extend to water uses at the mine. The Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission is representing the interests of Wisconsin tribes under 19th-century treaty rights that apply to ceded territories of northern Wisconsin.
In its revised plan for bulk sampling, Gogebic said it would remove about 2,400 tons of rock from three sites to sample rock for the presence of iron ore and to evaluate future equipment needs to process the rock into taconite pellets. The company had planned to excavate at five sites. But the discovery of grunerite, with potentially harmful asbestos-like mineral fibers, prompted the company to cut the number.
Gogebic has downplayed the existence of grunerite in a form that would meet the standards for asbestiform in which the amount of fibers in the rock could become the source of health problems.
The company said Monday in its filing with the state:
"The grunerite issue has been the subject of a media debate and the removal of these areas leaves the debate to be resolved by the systematic and scientific study of the issue that will be required within the permit application.
"Our position remains that asbestiform material is unlikely to be present in the reserve, but will defer to a proven and methodical approach to address the potential of asbestiform materials in the future mining permit application."
