OK but lacks vital features
The Good:
* Ability to import images from camera roll.
* Ability to import more than one image at a time.
* Will retain square dimensions of original photo.
* Ability to save an unfinished project.
* Decent FPS range up to 15 FPS at 1-frame-per-second increments. Although strangely, the ability to adjust the frame rate in 1-frame-per-second increments is not available until after you save your project as a movie.
The Bad:
* App layout is confusing - standard functions hidden.
* Inability to add images to beginning or middle of photo stream, nor can images be rearranged within photo stream. Images may only be deleted from anywhere in photo stream. This can be very frustrating.
* No help! The option to download help/faq did not work.
* Inability to select audio from any portion of the song.
* Tried to get around the above mentioned by creating a ringtone with desired song portion, but ringtones cannot be used for audio in this app.
Awesome application
It could a little more tweaking, but overall, I am giving it five stars for the super easy steps to make an otherwise laborious and very very time consuming process. I have use it for as time as 3 hours with no problem with the battery, i just make sure the phone is fully charge before i start taking pictures.
Watch Battery Life
I am only getting used to this potentially useful app, but have noticed that even if the iPhone is at room temperature, the display remains on, and the battery is depleted within 2-3 hours. If your video needs to be longer than that, plug the phone in and keep it plugged in for the expected length of your shoot. Bad news -- you will have to plan carefully if the iPhone is not plugged into AC, auto, or external battery.

Best Kids' Parties: Cars, Construction & More Things 3-Year-Olds Love
Rachel Denbow's birthday party that she had for her son. I found construction worker hats at the dollar spot and I also used car treat bags that I found at the Goodwill. As well, I made a fire truck cake, and stuck a Power Ranger by it. I made all the food and drinks orange, red and yellow to go with the theme (which is why the Orange Crush made it's way to the party). My favorite part was the table with the party favors on it...I loved incorporating the dump truck, with the flowers in it. Milo loved the party, so I consider that a success! Thanks Emily!

Historical Traveler Reviews The Breakwater Inn and Spa Kennebunkport
Great Location, Nice Accommodations
I recently stayed two nights at the Breakwater Hotel. On the positive side, the hotel has a great location on Ocean Avenue. The view from our room was absolutely beautiful - overlooking where the river meets the ocean. Our room was nicely decorated and spacious. The property has its own restaurant, Stripers, with upscale decor, good food and a comfortable lounge. On the not so positive side, we had a series of problems with our reservation and I would encourage anyone staying here to bring along confirmation information - otherwise, you could be faced with problems when it comes time to check out. The breakfast offered at the property, which is included in the room rate, had limited offererings and wasn't particularly appealing. The daily housekeeping service was also disappointing - as best I could tell they made the bed and changed the towels - nothing more. Guests planning to stay at the Breakwater should realize that there is an Inn as well as a Hotel. The two are not connected - they are actually a good distance apart - and I believe the service level suffers as a result.
Beautiful Stay @ The Breakwater!
Having never been to Maine, I was expecting a rustic experience coupled with difficulty understanding the "natives." I could not have been more wrong! As we pulled up in the horseshoe drive, we were greeted by smiles from the valet to the Housekeepers. Everyone was so friendly and willing to help us find our way around town, the best places to dine (and even made reservations), and where to go to make the most of our trip. Our room was huge - a large king 4 poster bed with pillowtop mattress and a down comforter. We were so refreshed it the morning! The view was beautiful as well - we watched the fisherman and sightseers throughout the day - traveling up the river and out to sea. In the distance we could hear the waves crashing on the shore. It was so relaxing to watch the world drift by on our deck. Our morning breakfast (included in the rate) was freshly baked ham & cheese quiche, muffins & croissants. They also had cereals, bagels & cream cheese and fruit & yogurt. Again, the view was unbeatable! I returned back to "civilization" wishing I had never left. I will be back to unwind and enjoy again at The Breakwater - the perfect place to get away!
Unbeatable location but mixed feelings... and don't go with a baby!
We spend two nights in a king size room; ocean view. The room was beautiful, very well decorated and very spacious. The view was unbeatable! However, the bathroom was like a closet... small and build with really cheap materials. No bathrobes, no sleepers... !? A bit extrange for the price (300 US$) and class of the hotel.
We went there with our 6 months old baby. We had a lot of problems finding accomodation because many Inns in the US do not accept babies. However, when I booked the room, the lady from the reception told me that they accept babies and that they had facilities (cribs) available for them. We arrived on a Friday evening and the recepcionist asked us if we were going to have dinner at the restaurant. I asked if it was OK to bring the baby and stroller into the restaurant and she told me it was no problem. However, when the waitress welcomed us she asked me "if the baby was going to scream" if so, they would put us in a corner away from the rest ... BUT WHAT A QUESTION TO ASK !!!??? Babies are by definition unpredictable !!! The rest of the stay I felt very self concious about the baby and I felt they treated him as "persona non grata" ... On Saturday morning we asked the reception for some tips about informal restaurants by the beach where we could have a lobster lunch. They were kind of puzzled about the question and they could not give an anwser.. ???? I think that they were astonished that we wanted to take the baby into a restaurant! All and all, maybe it was a culture thing. In Europe we take babies everywhere and even the most expensive hotels or relais would accept babies and treat them nicely. Oh, well... All and all I found the service stiff, snobby and quite unpleasant... but maybe it was because of the baby thingy. By the way, I must say that the food at the restaurant was very good but the breakfast was super-stingy! Only croissants, a couple of muffins, a quiche and cereals... It was the stingiest breakfast I have ever had in America. However, again, the quality of the food was good.
Won't go back with or without baby! I hated the baby-unfriendly attitude.
Wonderful experience!
I visited the Breakwater Inn the first weekend they opened for the 2005 season. It was wonderful! The hotel staff were courteous and very helpful with dinner reservations, nearby attractions and just to chat. Breakfast each morning (included in the rate) was delicious - try the quiche! My room was spotless and had a very romantic view from our own private porch. What a beautiful way to relax and watch the sun set! I will definitely be back with my husband next year! I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for accommodations in Kennebunkport!
Can't wait to go back
I visited The Breakwater last fall and can't wait to go back. The valet greeted us and we really loved ourroom, was the least expesvie and had one double bed and the most lovely view and super good bed. Just goes to show you don't always have to spend the most to get a very nice room. We really liked having breakfast in the bright room with the great view they serve it in. We had dinner one night at The White Barn adn it was wonderful, very elegant and romantic and our last night we had lobster at Stripers, just for fun. We are going to stay during the summer so we can swim at the private beach, pebbly but no one else there!
Upscale and comfortable
We were in Kenebunkport last summer for a wedding and we decided to stay at the inn. We found it to be very comfortable and staff was very accommodating- even when we arrived past the time the desk closed the night manager was there to greet us. The decor was very hip and classic.
Such a great location close to town & the beach. The value and the price of this hotel is well worth it.
Can't wait to go back
I stayed at the Breakwater last summer and just went on line to book for next July. My Family and I loved our stay, we booked a king room and had a cot for our son and had plenty of room. We really liked the patio-deck we just lucked into last year and were really glad to find out we can book a patio room now in advance!
Definetley wortha trip and the restaurant was great, we loved the fish and chips.
Starting a family tradition
I just booked our stay with the breakwater for July and am pleased to say they are still on track. This year we decided to get a room with a porch as we wish we had done last year. The location was perfect with a great seafood restaurant on sight and breathtaking views of the water. I can't wait to see our family in Cape Porpoise again and am almost as excited (maybe more) about the lobster. The kids loved the little beach around the corner that is close enough to walk. Highly recommend a visit!!!
The Frye Family
Loved the renovations!
The Breakwater Inn when I visited in July had been completely overhauled. All new rooms and restaurant, was a great surprise to find heat and air and yes, nice bathrobes in our room. We stayed in room 14, right on the water and there is a new lawn that slopes to the water.... I want to go back this fall. Really loved our big bed and patio on the water!
The Breakwater Inn will break your heart
The website and brochure say guests are treated to thick white terry robes. When I asked about the robes, the front desk clerk was surprised and didn't even realize it was in the brochure. I asked about the complimentary bikes and canoes, you have to go to a sister property two buildings down for the bikes and 1/4 mile away for the canoes. Make sure you get the confirmation in the mail!!! I never received one and was kicked out with no room and no openings in Kennebunkport on a Saturday afternoon. This was after spending $300 for a room with curtains hanging off of the rods and a railing on the balcony that is in poor repair - Watch out or you'll fall off!!

Why Are the UN and Human Rights Watch Undercutting Rwanda?

Trayvon Is Everybody's Son
Carl Matthes: The President's most personal message to the family – "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," – is a metaphor. Trayvon represents my son, your child.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti review: A strong push for the midrange graphics card crown
- Excellent performance
- Competitive pricing favors the competition
Bottom Line
Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card makes a strong push for the midrange graphics card crown, but savvy shoppers have a few options before them.
PriceTBA (AUD)
Nvidia has been on something of a hot streak lately. Having spent the better part of a year in the shadow of AMD's 5800 series, and after a false start with the GeForce GTX 480 launch, we saw Nvidia's long-awaited Fermi architecture "done right" with the GeForce GTX 580. And again just a few weeks later, with the launch of the GeForce GTX 570.
They aren't done yet. Launching today is Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti (US$249). While the 570 and 580 sat at the upper echelons of graphics card category, the new GTX 560 Ti is aimed squarely at the mid-range market, where AMD's 6800 series holds sway. The GTX 560 pays homage to Nvidia's Titanium GPU line, resurrecting a fondly-remembered graphics card lineage. It's not meant to replace the GeForce GTX 460, but instead serve as a faster, slightly more expensive alternative.
The GTX 560 Ti looks quite a bit like the rest of the 500 series. It's equipped with a pair of DVI-ports and a mini-HDMI port. It's also built on the Fermi architecture, but sports transistor-level tweaks to improve performance, and power consumption.
The GTX 560 Ti has been purposefully matched up against AMD's 6800 series of graphics cards -- namely, the Radeon HD 6850 ($180) and Radeon HD 6870 ($219). And it's a close call. Nvidia's part makes a strong showing on our benchmarks, but a last minute price-shuffle from the competition has left AMD's mid-range and higher-end wares as the better value, overall.
Performance: Synthetic Benchmarks
Let's dive into the numbers. We'll start, as always, with the synthetic benchmarks. These exist as a means to stress test graphics cards in ways that conventional games and applications generally don't. They aren't the best "real world" assessment of how a particular part well perform (we'll game to games testing in a bit), but they serve as a general yard stick with which a graphics card can be measured. As always, click on any graph for a larger version.
In the forward-looking Unigine Heaven benchmark, Nvidia's entry is the clear winner. But this isn't too surprising, as Nvidia's wares generally perform well on this DirectX 11-based test.
The Unigine engine places quite a bit of emphasis on tessellation, an area to which Nvidia has devoted much of the Fermi architecture's computational muscle. Even on the "Normal" tessellation setting, Nvidia's card takes top honors here.
We'll look at 3DMark's Vantage benchmark suite next. This DirectX 10-based benchmark is showing its age, and its DirectX 11-based successor recently arrived on the scene. That said, 3DMark Vantage is an industry mainstay.
On both the High and Extreme profile settings Nvidia's part maintained a 25% lead over AMD's Radeon HD 6870, while the relatively inexpensive Radeon HD 6850 trails at the rear of the pack.
Performance: Gaming
The results were a bit less direct once we moved on to testing actual games. Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is a DirectX 10.1-based arcade flight game, as graphically intensive as it is action packed.
While all three cards posted excellent results, the GTX 560 Ti maintained a strong lead, consistently hovering between 15 - 20 frames per second ahead of the Radeon HD 6870.
Roles are reversed when looking at Just Cause 2's demanding benchmark. We maximized the available graphics settings and ran the "Concrete Jungle" scenario. This is one of the more strenuous tests graphics tests that Just Cause 2 offers, and one of the tougher ones in our retinue.
The results are tantalizingly close -- consistently within 2 to 3 frames per second -- but on our tests, Nvidia's GTX 560 Ti lags slightly behind the Radeon HD 6870 in all but one setting.
Efficiency and Value
To get a real sense of the GTX 560 Ti's efficiency, we'll take a few factors into account. First, there's the raw power usage. When sitting idle, Nvidia's card drew 111W of power. The Radeon HD 6870 drew 103W, while the Radeon HD 6850 drew 102. Under a full load, the GTX 560 Ti ramped up to 300W, while the 6870 and the 6850 saw 246W and 219W, respectively.
By coupling our power readings with the average frames per second across our games tests, arrive at a number we call the Performance per Watt -- the watts used per average frames per second. Lower is better here.
These results aren't too surprising: AMD's graphics cards are generally known for their energy efficiency. Of interest is how much Nvidia has closed the gap: the month-old GTX 570 drew close to 350W while under load.
A more significant metric for the savvy shopper will be found on our Value chart, where we measure the Dollars per FPS by dividing the price tag of each GPU by the average frame rates across our tests.
And as has generally been the case with our tests thus far, there is no blowout here: Nvidia's card is generally in third place from a value proposition, but never more than a negligible $0.11 behind the Radeon HD 6870.
The Big Picture
Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti is ultimately a victim of circumstance. The performance at its $250 price point is excellent, and the reduced power consumption shows that Nvidia is taking energy efficiency seriously. But it was dropped into a crowded market. AMD decided it would rather drop its prices than give up the midrange GPU crown. Adding insult to injury, they also brought the price tag on the Radeon HD 6950 down to $289, bringing AMD's performance-oriented Radeon HD 6900 series within spitting distance of Nvidia's GTX 560 Ti. With so many winning models on the table its a step the competition can afford to take, whereas those eyeing Nvidia's wares are suddenly presented with a few more tantalizing offers from AMD's camp.
There's only one clear winner in this bout: the consumer.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Official Clip for Hudson and Troop - Stop Motion Kaleidoscopic Fun.
The official music video for 'Against The Grain' from emerging Melbourne indie-folk artist Hudson sees him collaborate with film maker/animator/VJ Dropbear (aka Jonathan Chong), producing a vibrant and colourful clip based around a mainstay from our humble artistic efforts throughout childhood – coloured pencils.
A stop motion short film shot with a stills camera in the ceiling pointing straight at the floor. There's tons of 'making of' stuff at the website sorry-im-late.com
Welcome to our city - to our world - of books. This is where we live.
A film for 4th Estate Publishers' 25th Anniversary. Produced by Apt Studio and Asylum Films.
The film was produced in stop-motion over 3 weeks in Autumn 2008. Each scene was shot on a home-made dolly by an insane bunch of animators; you can see time-lapse films of each sequence being prepared and shot in our other films.

Due to the monsoon rainfall and the silt carried by the three great rivers, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Meghna, the soil of Bangladesh is also very fertile. Bangladesh has a history of Mongoloid, Austro-Mongoloid and Austro Dravidian settlers. The People of the country have come to know as Bengalese. There are also minority tribal communities such as the Santhal, Chakma, Marma, Kol, Vil, Munda, Monipuri, Garo and Khasia.

Cleaning Brass
Ammunition, Gear, and Firearm Help
Handloading and Reloading
> Cleaning Brass
December 26, 2008, 11:50 PM
I know the reasons for cleaning brass and how to do it in a tumbler, but what about the inside of the casing...... Is there any need to clean the inside? And if so, how do you do it?
If you enjoyed reading about "Cleaning Brass" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join
today for the full version!
December 27, 2008, 12:11 AM
The tumbler will clean the inside of the case.
December 27, 2008, 02:02 AM
I used to tumble my cases to clean them for a number of years but have now switched to an ultrasonic cleaner. It will clean the outside, inside and the primer pockets. They are amazing, no more sticking of media in the primer flash hole. I wish I would have found this method years ago.
December 27, 2008, 02:08 AM
Dumb question, I know it cleans the brass, but why do you need to clean your brass before you reload? I don't reload so I guess I'm a bit of an outsider.
December 27, 2008, 09:30 AM
You will destroy the fine polish of your resizing die. Cleaned cases will be easier to work with and easier to handle. they also will be more attractive.
December 27, 2008, 09:47 AM
Use carbide dies, mfg. uses diamonds to polish carbide. How are you going to scratch the inside of the dies, dirt isn't going to do it. It is possible to gall nickle or brass on the inside surface of the die and this will leave scratches on the brass, but the die is still fine. This galling is even more prominent with steel dies. I usually size then clean, been doing it this way for years, since the 60's, thousands and thosands, of rounds, 10,000 to 20,000 per year and no problems so far.
December 27, 2008, 09:48 AM
The inside of the brass case will get some cleaning with a normal tumble or vibratory polisher. It is not necessary to clean the inside of the case except for the primer pocket ocassionally.
December 27, 2008, 09:53 AM
i don't tumble my brass unless they are really dirty like, have been in the mud, or wet/ sandy etc.
December 27, 2008, 09:54 AM
I tumble all brass before it goes through my sizers, period, no matter what. :)
I run range brass over a nylon brush in a drill press before tumbling it to remove any dirt and other little beasties. Well pistol anyway. Rifle gets rinsed with a jet of water.
December 27, 2008, 10:30 AM
I tumble before sizing. On rifle I tumble again to remove lube and on my Black powder cases I use a brush on the inside prior to setting primer.
January 11, 2009, 08:42 PM
Use heated ultrasonic cleaner by Sharpertek and buy the R7-5 solution and or the 1220 solution. The r7-5 cleans the carbon and polishes the brass. The 1220 cleans the carbon and the cases but does not polish.
The Bushmaster
January 11, 2009, 10:33 PM
Once you seat the bullet nobody can see the inside. So why worry about the inside unless you have dirt, pebbles, spiders and grass in there...
January 12, 2009, 02:21 PM
Use carbide diesThey don't make carbide dies for bottle neck rifle cartridges.
January 12, 2009, 04:40 PM
They do make some bottle neck case dies, but you still have to lube the cases.
January 12, 2009, 06:51 PM
You're right about the bottleneck cases. I was thinking of pistol brass.

This review is from: WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter - Retail
Pros: The card did plug in.
Cons: Everything. This was the worst purchase ever. Unreliable.
Other Thoughts: Don't buy this. I had this card for just over a month before the data was corrupted. I formatted the card and everything seemed OK -- until my new pictures are corrupted again.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: The best specs at the time. PlexUTILITIES something you can't get with other drives.
Cons: Failed. I get Tray In and Spindle Motor errors. I'm not a power burner either, this gets used maybe 2x a month.
Other Thoughts: About half of the time I get coasters and the drive just spins with a solid activity light. You have to power off the PC just to get it to stop - using a paperclip to eject the frisbee doesn't shut it down. It freezes and you're done. I thought Plextor WAS the best out there, and the price reflected it, and when I thought I was getting the top of the line I guess I was mistaken. Back to the sub-20 dollar burners for me.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: MASSCOOL 4F01B4 90mm Case Cooling Fan
Pros: None.
Cons: Makes a terrible grinding noise after just 4 days in service.
Other Thoughts: Bought this in anticipation of my MiniITX server build. With not much room for case fans, this seemed like a great alternative to fill the single expansion slot in the case. At first, it was - temps were stable and a steady stream of warm air was being pushed out. However, after less than 100 hours in use, the fan makes a horrible grinding sound - signs that it is already failing. My assumption is that it may be due to its vertical installation rather than horizontal, as in most tower cases. Regardless, I will have to search elsewhere for a decent expansion slot fan, Masscool's is just junk.READ FULL REVIEW

The article on "Neutrophilic Urticaria With Systemic Inflammation: A Case Series" by Belani et al1 was published because we believed that our readers were unfamiliar with this concept. Additionally, the approach of treating with interleukin 1 antagonists is relatively underappreciated in the dermatologic community. Lipsker et al2 had previously noted this issue under a different nomenclature, neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis.2 While we recognize the concept that both groups are describing the same disease, we believe that the name proposed by Belani et al more accurately reflects the need to consider systemic disease than that proposed previously.

Welcome to week four in my series of posts on starting and running a landscape or gardening business.
Covered so far:
I've been itching to let you in on a little information…


text:
Will Inman allowed a single run on three hits and four walks across five innings, striking out five in a 94-pitch effort to pick up the win. The right-hander has not allowed more than three hits in any of his starts this season, holding the opposition to a .122 average. He has, however, walked 11 in 15 frames but has allowed just one hit with runners in scoring position.
Mike Baxter went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored to maintain his .400 average. It is the third straight multi-hit game for the Vanderbilt alumnus. Baxter, who has split time between first base and left field, has eight hits in his last 13 at-bats with four extra-base hits.
Greg Burke worked a scoreless sixth inning, working a 1-2-3 inning to earn his second hold of the year. Since giving up a run in his first outing of the season, Burke has tossed 5.1 scoreless frames. He has not allowed a hit to left-handed batters and has given up just one hit with runners in scoring position.
San Antonio (5-7) had a scheduled day off
Lake Elsinore (7-7) won 8-1 over Rancho Cucamonga (Angels)
Erik Davis threw five innings of shutout ball. The right-hander yielded three hits and a walk, struck out three and induced nine ground ball outs. The right-hander had allowed eight runs on 11 hits and six walks in his first 8.2 innings of work. A 16-game winner in 2009 for Fort Wayne, Davis allowed two runs or less in 13 of his 19 starts.
Eight of the nine Storm hitters managed to secure at least one hit and seven scored a run. Kevin Hansen had a pair of hits, including a double, and a walk, scoring a run and recording his first two RBI of the season. The right-handed hitter came into the game with four hits in his first 23 at-bats. The infielder hit .254 with 13 doubles and 32 RBI across 97 games with Fort Wayne a year ago.
Cole Figueroa had a pair of hits in four trips, scoring a run and driving in one, extending his hitting streak to eight games. The infielder is 13-for-35 across the streak, a .371 average. He has five multi-hit games in his last six and an RBI in five of his last seven. Figueroa had a four-game multi-hit streak last season for Fort Wayne en route to batting .319 over the season.
Fort Wayne (7-7) won 10-2 over Lansing (Blue Jays)
Nate Freiman delivered four hits in five at-bats, including an infield single, scored twice and upped his RBI total to 12 on the season with another two on Wednesday afternoon. The first baseman has extended his hitting streak to 10 games and his on-base streak to 19 – dating back to last season with Eugene. Freiman also had a diving stab towards the first base line to save an extra-base hit, flipping the ball to the pitcher while in a prone position. The cleanup batter is hitting .438 with runners in scoring position to begin the year.
Wande Olabisi pushed his average to .409 with a 2-for-3 day that included a walk, a run scored and two RBI – and every batter in the Fort Wayne lineup secured a hit. The outfielder has a hit in all but one of his starts and has scored a run and drawn a walk in three straight games. He has half the amount of walks (5) in eight games that he had all last season – with 35 games in hand.
Edinson Rincon had three hits out of the three-hole in the lineup, including an opposite-field double, while scoring each time he reached base. The third baseman also added an RBI but did commit his fourth fielding error of the season. Rincon is 10-for-29 across his last six games with four extra-base hits and six RBI after beginning the season with three hits in his first 27 at-bats.
Jeudy Valdez has a 17-game on-base streak dating back to last season that is still intact after singling and drawing a walk.

Every embassy and consulate has and practices all kinds of emergency evac plans, in concert with the US military.
For example, Marines and SEALs practice NEO ops prior to deploying on every float, as a VERY high priority mission. They involve full dress-rehearsals, with civilian role players, helos, landing craft, rounding up stranded stragglers, opfor ambushes, role-playing "angry mobs," fighting your way to LZs or even beaches while protecting a gaggle of civilians down to babies etc. Conducting successful NEO ops is a TOP TOP TOP military and state department mission priority. I cannot emphasize this enough. NEO ops are planned and practiced over and over and over.
When the alarm goes off worldwide that an embassy or consulate is being attacked, the entire U.S. military swings into rescue mode, without waiting for any orders from the White House. The military does all of the operational planning and begins to execute the rescue op.
The one thing they CAN'T do is cross an international border without permission from POTUS. So the US Military will be inbound full-steam-ahead to make the rescue, and all they need from POTUS is a "proceed" order. In this case, they got a "stand down" instead.
This is at the POTUS level, it is not a decision taken at State. State and the military (JCS) should be in the Situation Room with POTUS soon after a critical incident like this begins, so all decisions can be made in real time. (I have heard nowhere that POTUS went into the Situation Room at all. Apparently he went to the Oval Office briefly, but not down to the Situation Room, where the "war planning" screens, full staffs and commo tools are all located for dealing with a major crisis.)
But if POTUS punts after a brief Oval Office meeting with Dempsey and Hillary and goes upstairs to the family quarters....the stranded Americans will die.
Only POTUS can give the order to cross international borders. Only POTUS can allow US warplanes to give air support to Americans battling on the ground in a foreign country. If POTUS makes himself unavailable, the Americans will die.
Even the VEEP or Secretary of State cannot make that call. The VEEP can only do it if the POTUS is determined to be medically unable to perform his functions. If the POTUS goes upstairs and turns off his phone, there is nothing anybody can do about it. Nothing. And the besieged Americans will die.
On Friday an anonymous Pentagon insider ("Doug") called into Rush with a lot of new details about this disgraceful fiasco. But what we really need now is for a high-ranking officer with insider knowledge to go public, risk his pension and career, and tell the truth.
The blame for this humiliating and shameful national disgrace is pointing directly at the POTUS, and America needs to know why the inbound rescue operation was aborted.

[USA-MEXICO]Mexico fired Coach Jose Manuel de la Torre after Friday's 2-1 to Honduras. The future of his replacement, assistant and close friend Luis Fernando Tena, was uncertain after El Tri's 2-0 loss to the USA.
Tena, who led Mexico to the 2012 Olympic gold medal in men's soccer, had just three days to prepare El Tri as an emergency replacement.
"We made an arrangement to discuss it after the game," said Tena after the loss to the United States. "There's nothing that's been decided at this point. This isn't the best time to make decisions."
The loss dropped Mexico to fifth place, below Panama on goals scored with two games to play.
Mexico and Panama will meet on Oct. 11 at Azteca Stadium, where Mexico has yet to win the Hexagonal (three 0-0 ties and 2-1 loss to Honduras).
El Tri is likely playing for fourth place -- and a berth in the intercontinental playoff against New Zealand -- though Honduras' failure to close out Panama left the Catrachos just three points in front of Mexico and Panama with two games to play.
Hexagonal Results:
Sept. 10
USA 2 Mexico 0

Hexagonal Standings:

Very nice! They're kinda crunchy and chewy at the same time. They're buttery, sweet and almondy...kinda like a chinese almond cookie but better. I used my blender to grind the nuts and sugar, then I mixed it all with my hand mixer. It was very easy to press into my tart pan and I put it in the freezer while I made something else. It came out of the pan easily and cut very nicely. Thank you for the keeper recipe Annacia. Made for Holiday Tag.
These are so rich and buttery and very pretty on the cookie tray! Made for 1st Annual Holiday Tag Game. Thank you for posting Annacia.

Crochet Trends in June
Summer is in full swing and having a lightweight, portable project is ideal in the heat and humidity of the coming weeks. It's also nice to have a few finished projects that you can use and wear in the warmer months. Crocheted mesh is a great fabric choice to fill both these needs!
The Michel Vest would look great paired with a bright tee and capris. Made from half double crochet and chain stitches and worked in a single piece to the armholes this one will fly off your hook. The Longmeadow is a fantastic blend of cotton and microfiber that is soft and cool against the skin.
The Tokyo Vest in Tahki Cotton Classic Lite, a free pattern, is a wonderful layering piece to toss on over a flirty summer dress in the evening. This top is made from 2 simple rectangles and is creatively seemed to create the illusion of a wrap top.
Finally, you'll need something to carry all your summer finds, be they sea shells, fresh fruits and veggies from the Farmer's Market, or treasures from a yard sale. Classic Elite has the perfect Market Bag pattern (also Free!) worked up on their Provence yarn.
What's your favorite lightweight pattern for summer?

Historical Traveler Reviews Courtyard By Marriott Chicago Downtown River North
Exemplary Service & Great Location
Recently stayed at the Courtyard (Downtown, 30 Hubbard) and had a wonderful visit. Of course, the greeting upon check-in typically sets the tone for a guest's stay. My experience with Brian, guest service agent, was a very pleasant one. In today's all-too-frequent "next customer" mentality and the all-too-prevalent impersonal service, Brian's customer service approach definitely helps to set this hotel in a league all its own with the personal touch.
I observed as other guests were checked in ahead of myself and every accommodation and consideration was given by him as he dealt with guests -- apologizing for any wait encountered (which truly was only a couple of minutes) to dealing with challenging guests in a totally professional manner. It's refreshing to note that true first-class personal service does still exist. We need more service as experienced at this hotel from Brian's exemplary service.
Beyond the superb front desk service, this is not an atypical Courtyard. While, yes, the Marriott chain is quite predictable as far as its sub-chains, with no surprises, but this Courtyard is a cut above the typical ones. For example, it has a nice lobby with a restaurant directly off the lobby, as well as a Starbucks. In addition, it has an unusually large hot tub and pool -- even an outdoor sundeck, complete with grilling capabilities which would be great in the summer. The rooms are pretty typical Courtyard, but a plus is that all the bedding is being replaced (Jan. 2005) and the new mattresses are heavenly. In addition, the FREE high-speed Internet is a nice plus as well (standard at Courtyards chain-wide).
The hotel is within quick walking distance of the all the shopping on Michigan Avenue, as well as State Street shopping. Further, there are several restaurants and cafes within walking distance. It truly is centrally located to most anything one would like to do while visiting the fine city of Chicago. I HIGHLY recommend this property for any upcoming Chicago stay and hopefully Brian will be there to provide you with unrivaled service upon check-in.
Above Average on "That Great Street"
I stayed at the Courtyard Chicago Downtown in December, and I was really impressed with this hotel. It's on the corner of Hubbard and State, a few blocks south of the Chicago River and Chicago Theater (where all the action seems to be) and a couple blocks west of Michigan Ave. There are other hotels with better locations, but this is just fine, especially if you stay here in the warmer months.
There is also a Red Line station 2 blocks north on Grand Ave. The Red Line is the subway that runs along State Street and connects US Cellular Field (White Sox) in the south and Wrigley Field (Cubs) in the north. You can also transfer for free at certain stops to other el routes (Blue Line to O'hare and Orange Line to Midway, etc.).
The hotel is only 9 floors and does not provide spectacular views. Other adjacent skyscrapers block any type of view. The lobby is only average with a couple comfortable couches and a tiny gift shop. Check-in went smooth and the desk clerks were very friendly. When we got too our room, we were very impressed. The room was spotless, the bathroom was very clean, and the entire room was pleasant and well-kept. I've read other reviews that describe king rooms as being on the small side, but we had a double room (2 double beds), and it was spacious and one of the largest hotel rooms we've stayed in. I'd suggest booking a double room if you want a spacious room.
There is a nice indoor pool with a good-sized exercise room on the 6th floor and glass doors that open onto a large outdoor terrace looking down on the street below. Very nice!
Overall, I would rate this hotel 4 stars. You can definitely find a better location and a hotel with a better view, but if you can get a good deal here, you won't be disappointed. Double Rooms are very spacious and beds are incredibly comfortable.
Excellent homebase for a weekender to Chicago
We stay here regularly on weekenders to the City and love it every time. While the other Courtyard Downtown is newer, this one is loaded with amenities. The rooms are pretty much the standard-issue Courtyard rooms, but on the (sixth?) floor, there is a lap pool, jacuzzi and outdoor terrace complete with two Weber Grills! There's a grocery store around the corner, so we have midday cookouts on the rooftop between seeing the sights. The restaurant tends to be a little too expensive (high prices/average quality=poor value) for our tastes, especially considering that there are COUNTLESS restaurants within a block of the hotel offering a much better value. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel as a great homebase, although it is not a destination of its' own.
Nice hotel and good location
I stayed here for two nights on business in July 2004. No complaints with this hotel. It is in a pretty good location (only a few blocks from Michigan Ave). Navy Pier is about a half-mile away. Walkable. But a free trolley will pick you up on Illinois and take you there. Breakfast was a little pricey ($15 for buffet). But it IS downtown Chicago. So that wasn't entirely unexpected. Staff was very courteous. Room was clean and comfortable. Room size was average. Lots of restaurants within a 3 block radius. Free hi-speed internet access available in the room. I did hear some street noise. But it wasn't enough to keep me awake. I didn't check out the pool. I'll consider staying here again if I'm in the area.
Good location, but small room...
Apparently many of the King rooms here are small--other reviewers have mentioned spacious rooms, maybe they were 2 doubles--but my King was small. They managed to fit a love seat, coffee table, desk, and dresser into the room, and it was fairly comfortable, but nothing at all special. Street noise here is definately a problem (and I was on the 14th floor)--since the windows are not soundproofed.
Location is very good--a few blocks from mag mile and the river-- a few more to the Loop. There is a supermarket 2 blocks north on the left side of State Street, and hotel will bring a fridge to your room for free if you request one. Free hi-speed internet is a big plus.
Beware: local calls are .75 per minute, but 800 calls are free. Use a calling card with an 800 access # for local calls or you will have an unpleasant surprise.
Bottom line--with so many good hotels in Chicago at a similar price level, this is not the best choice.
Pleasent stay
I stayed at the Courtyard in Feb 2004 for Founders Week. The hotel was right in downtown and that was really awesome. Everything was in walking distance. The rooms were nice and clean. The best part was that it was cold and snowy and by the pool area it's all galss so you're sitting in a jacuzzi and right next to you is the snow on the other side of the window and a nice view of downtown. I do recomend this hotel when staying in Chicago.
Average stay.
My stay in this hotel was average. The room was quite small and the heat wasn't working right, but it was clean. The pool and spa was not what I had expected! It smelled like dirty feet, the floor needed to be cleaned. The staff was very helpful and freindly and they didn't mind holding our luggage while we shopped after check out. The location is great and the parking garage elevator is located just outside the lobby. The Mag. mile is just a few blocks away, as well as many resturants. Overall I had an average stay here. With so many other hotels so close by, I will choose another when I return to Chicago.
Loved this hotel
Great place to stay. Good location, close to bus line and trolley to Pier. Quiet, clean roomy.
Loved the pool
This hotel made my stay in Chicago just wonderful. The pool indoors with the adjacent deck with lounge chairs outside overlooking the city was the best part. The room was comfortable and very clean. My only complaint was that the front desk attendent was not friendly.
Great hotel, Great location
I have stayed at this hotel three times and I enjoy it more each time! It is just a couple blocks from the "Magnificent Mile" and has dozens of restaurants just around the corner (literally!). You can walk almost anywhere of interest from this hotel- shopping, Water Tower, Sears Tower, House of Blues, Hancock Building, Navy Pier, the river, etc. The rooms are large and clean, and the service is great! The staff is very knowledgable of the area and can tell you how to get anywhere. It is one of the few hotels in the area to offer an indoor pool, and it has a sundeck next to the pool on the 6th floor that is just gorgeous! I would definately stay here again!

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Stuff 1 piece of cheese and 1 almond into each date, then wrap one piece of bacon around each date and secure bacon with a toothpick if desired. Arrange dates, bacon seam down and 1 inch apart in a shallow baking pan.
Bake 5 minutes, then turn dates over with tongs and bake until bacon is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes more. Drain on a paper towel or parchment. Serve immediately.

I've only been to two college football venues in my lifetime—Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia and Jordan Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama.
Now, you may think I'm not qualified to write this article, but here is my reasoning and inspiration.
I love traveling, and as a college sports fanatic, would love nothing more than to experience college football in places outside the 150-mile radius around my hometown.
So, with this article, I have used my knowledge and research abilities to narrow down the top ten potential destinations for me, as well as the everyday college football fan.
There's no better way to get ready for the year! Enjoy!
