'Edge Of Spider-Verse' Solicits Tease Spider-Man Noir And Two New Spider-Types
One of the things I love most about Spider-Man (and let me tell you, there's a lot I love about Spider-Man) is how adaptable the character is to different situations, settings, and even different characters taking on the role.
Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott and an assembled team of writers and artists are picking up that ball and running with it in the upcoming "Spider-Verse" event, and they're getting a little bit of a head start with what they're calling "Edge of Spider-Verse," a series of one-issue stories that introduce readers to the various iterations of Spider Men and Women. Marvel has released solicitations for the first three issues of the five-issue series, which feature Spider-Man Noir, a new spin on Spider-Woman, and a futuristic Spider-Man who wears a helmet (and who probably isn't from 2099).
Edge of Spider-Verse #1
• The Peter Parker of the 1930's finds himself not only up against Mysterio, but knee-deep in the Spider-Man event of 2014!
Written by DAVID HINE & FABRICE SAPOLSKY

Edge of Spider-Verse #2
• In one universe, it wasn't Peter Parker bitten by the radioactive Spider, but Gwen Stacy!
• She's smart, charming and can lift a car– Just don't tell her Police Chief father!
• How is she involved in Spider-Verse? Seeds of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #9 are planted here!
Written by JASON LATOUR

Edge of Spider-Verse #3
• What is the secret of Dr. Aaron Aikman, Spider-Man?!
• Who are the villainous Red Eye and Naahmurah? And can Aaron possibly live through Morlun's arrival?
• Rising star Dustin Weaver (AVENGERS, INFINITY, SHIELD) makes his Marvel Comics writing debut in the most wildly imaginative story of the year!

Those three issues come out in September. Marvel has also release some information about issues 4 and 5, which hit in October. Issue 4 is a story by horror writer Clay McLeod Chapman and artist Garry Brown, which promises to "take you to a universe where a radioactive spider bites a high school science nerd who is already something of a monster." Issue 5 is written by Umbrella Academy's Gerard Way and features art by Jake Wyatt. It asks the question, "Who or what is SP//dr?"
Looks like this is going to be fun.

A 65-year-old Lebanon man will keep serving a 20- to 40-year state prison sentence for fatally stabbing another man during an argument in a grocery store parking lot.
That was assured when the state Superior Court recently upheld Rogelio Z. Pena's homicide conviction and sentence for the May 2010 killing of 63-year-old Wilfredo Gonzalez of Brooklyn, N.Y.
Pena has been doing time for the slaying since 2011, when a Lebanon County jury rejected his self-defense claim and found him guilty of third-degree murder.
The fatal encounter between Pena and Gonzalez occurred in front of several witnesses outside an Aldi store in Lebanon. According to court records, witnesses said Pena stabbed Gonzalez in the heart, left the victim slumped partly inside Pena's van, then walked into the store holding the bloody knife.
Pena, who claimed Gonzalez tried to rob him, was arrested at the scene. In the 1990s, Pena, a Cuban immigrant who came to the U.S. during a 1980 boat lift, served a state prison term on an aggravated assault conviction.
On appeal to the state court, Pena challenged the jury's verdict and county Judge Samuel A. Kline's decision to fine him $5,000 on the conviction.
Judge Anne E. Lazarus wrote in the Superior Court's ruling affirming the conviction and sentence that there was "overwhelming evidence" that Pena killed Gonzalez not in self-defense, but with malice sufficient to support the third-degree murder verdict.
She noted that the jury was free "to discount Pena's claim that he reasonably feared for his life" when he plunged the knife into Gonzalez's chest.
The fine was hardly excessive, Lazarus wrote, considering that by law Kline could have slapped Pena with a fine of up to $50,000.

The Harlem Shake craze has hit Baton Rouge (what took so long?), but what makes this one so unique is this is all about Miles.
Miles has his team running drills in practice, then Miles does his, uuummm, dance before the music drops, and the Tigers do their thing.
There have been many Shakes. Students at the University of Alabama tried to do one, UAB students and University of Mobile students did do one. Underground workers did one while on the job, which resulted in firings. A college team did one on a plane, which the FAA didn't look kindly on. And, of course, there is the best Harlem Shake for people that hate the Harlem Shake.
While the dance has certainly run its course, Miles might be the first SEC football coach to participate in one.
Check it out and you tell me.
Practice is getting better each day but we might need to make our dance skills stronger !! The LSU harlem shake ! youtube.com/watch?v=GHkKjo...-- Les Miles (@LSUCoachMiles) March 18, 2013

An effort to protect public workers from reprisals for testifying before legislative committees or speaking to Louisiana lawmakers was shot down by a Senate panel Wednesday (May 29). The measure, which had been opposed by Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration, was aimed at making sure state workers were not afraid to give legislators information that might contradict administration plans.
Rep. John Schroder, R-Covington, said the bill was sparked by conversations he's had with public workers who were reticent to provide him with information and feared they would be punished for doing so. The measure would have provided recourse for employees who testified at a public meeting or received written requests for information from state lawmakers.
The Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee unanimously voted not to move the bill to the floor, effectively killing the measure for this session.
There was little committee debate on the measure, though several lawmakers raised concerns about the bill. Sen. Bob Kostelka, R-Monroe, suggested it was overly broad and was the equivalent of "shooting a fly with a shotgun."
Administration officials have opposed the measure in the past, arguing it would prevent department heads from keeping their employees from speaking out of turn or about issues they're not authorized to comment on. An administration representative registered opposition to the measure at Wednesday's meeting but waived the opportunity to speak when it was clear the committee was moving to block the bill.
Schroder said the bill was not in response to any specific incident, though the last year has seen several instances of state workers being demoted or fired after contradicting the administration. Martha Manuel, former head of the Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs, was fired last year after testifying in committee against a plan by the administration to merge that office into the Department of Health and Hospitals. Months later, Dr. Fred Cerise lost his position as head of the state's public hospital system after clashing with administration officials over cuts.
Asked whether he knew of any employees who were terminated for giving testimony, Schroder said, "I certainly have read the newspapers."
Wednesday's vote is the second time this week a Senate committee has killed a bill that received unanimous support in the House but was opposed by the administration.
On Monday, the Senate Finance Committee blocked a proposal by Rep. Kenny Havard, R-Jackson, that would have required a more thorough review of privatization efforts. While House Bill 240 passed the lower chamber 93-0, the senate committee voted against it 8-2.

You'd think the great debates this time of year might be in the politics forum, but no...leave it to our Staten Island foodies to stir things up in the restaurants forum. What started as an inquiry from tapguy about the cheeseburgers on English muffins at Mug Shots turned into a thread on who came up with the idea in the first place.
Jarndyce claims the idea was swiped from Duffy's.
MostLikelyTo credits JJ's Composite with the creation.
Quist says: Jack Kane started it in his bar on Forest & Elizabeth.
Finally, MiamiTiki credits...their mom.
Wow, this thread is about as divided as undecided voters in Ohio!
So...who do you think came up with the idea? And more importantly, have you tried one?
Talk in the restaurants forum!
Oh, and if you have photos of any of these works of art, upload them here.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Eight bikers charged in a sweeping federal indictment aimed at the Pagans Motorcycle Club are due back in court.
Seven of them are scheduled to enter pleas in the case today in U.S. District Court in Charleston. An eighth defendant is scheduled to appear at a hearing to determine whether he'll be held without bond pending trial.
In late September, a federal grand jury in Charleston indicted 55 members and associates of the outlaw biker club on charges including murder conspiracy, kidnapping and drug dealing.
The defendants include national Pagans President David Keith Barbeito of Myersville, Md., and national Vice President Floyd B. Moore of St. Albans. Also named are members and associates of Pagans chapters in West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Florida.

The Flint Journal picks for boys and girls are in if you missed those, but along with picking my own All-Area team, I'm also going to pick an All-League top five for each boys' league in the area. I'd like to pick a girls' team for each league as well, but I did not see much Metro League or GAC ball this season, primarily covering the city.
Here's my list, with thoughts on each selection:
Player of the Year - Arlesia Morse, Hamady: The best player on a state title team and also the area's leading scorer in the regular season at 20.7 per game, Morse raised her game in the playoffs, averaging 22.8 per game in Hamady's state title run. She's physical, relentless, can score in a variety of ways and a fun player to watch for anyone who loves hard-nosed basketball.
Jordan LaDuke, Flushing: LaDuke wrapped up a great career at Flushing with another strong season, this time while learning a new position — after being primarily a wing player in her career, LaDuke handled point guard duties for the Raiders this season and adjusted seamlessly. She'll play at Division I Florida Gulf Coast next season.
Monica Confer, New Lothrop: Confer didn't have as high a scoring average as some others on the list at 13.4 points per game, but her versatility and willingness to mix it up with bigger players made her stand out. New Lothrop plays a slow-it-up, ball-control style that is very effective in helping the team win games, but make no mistake, Confer would put scoring numbers on par with the top players in the area in a faster pace.
Lauren Bellamy, Davison: Bellamy, who will play at Central Michigan next season, was the best big in the area this season. She scored more than 14 points per game as the focal point of the Davison offense, often facing double teams. She has an array of post moves and is a great rebounder.
Coach of the year - Keith Smith, Hamady: Compelling cases could be made for Goodrich's Jason Gray or New Lothrop's Tom Kohlman II, but bottom line is you win the state title, you're the coach of the year.
Player of the year - Demarco Sanders, Powers: Sanders, who recently committed to Ferris State, led Powers in scoring and was third in the area among Class A and B players. It's hard to argue any one of Powers' big three was more important than the other, but Sanders emerged to become a dynamic scorer and gave the team a needed dimension after Shane Moreland graduated from last year's state title team. Patrick O'Brien, Powers: It's impossible to love basketball and not love watching O'Brien play. He's both highly physical — often getting under the skin of opponents — and highly skilled, able to shoot from distance, score with his back to the basket and he even improved putting the ball on the floor a bit. He's one of the better undersized rebounders I've seen at the high school level and will be a very solid player at SVSU next season.
Jaylen Magee, Northwestern: Magee was one of the smoothest scorers in the area this season. Teams would fall asleep on him, then he'd explode for 10 or 12 points over a four minute or so stretch. He can shoot, handle the ball and finish around the basket, but he's at his best filling the lane on a fast break.
Jojuan Graham, Southwestern: Placed in a tough situation as the top player on a rebuilding team, Graham certainly had abundant opportunities to get buckets as his team's best scoring threat. But even if Southwestern had a down season, averaging 20 points per game in the Valley is impressive, especially considering teams game-planned specifically to get the ball out of Graham's hands through traps and double-teams every game.
Andrew Patrick, Goodrich: Patrick finished an outstanding career at Goodrich by leading the team in scoring and assists. For the second straight year, the Martians came close to beating Powers in the playoffs. Patrick, who signed with Concordia, is not just a good player, he's one of the best leaders in the area.
Coach of the Year - Mike Williams, Beecher: There were several good coaching jobs this season — Chris Belcher at Grand Blanc and Jeremy Trent at Swartz Creek immediately come to mind — but no one had the success that Williams did at Beecher, leading a young team all the way to the state semifinals. Williams gets more consistent effort out of his team than any coach in the area — the Bucs simply willed themselves back into many games with double digit deficits, and their turnover-forcing full-court trap is a thing of beauty.
Players: Sanders, O'Brien, Patrick Lucas-Perry, Glenn Cosey and Demondre Chapman. Analysis: See above for thoughts on Sanders/O'Brien. Lucas-Perry had a very good season as well. With high-scoring teammates in O'Brien/Sanders, Lucas-Perry didn't look for his shot as much as he could've, but he again showed he's not afraid to take big ones, including the game-winner against Goodrich.
Cosey has made himself into a terrific player. He has one of the best work ethics in the area — look at how not only his game has improved, but how much strength he's added by working continuously in the weight room. Running cross country also gave him more stamina than most guards — he rarely had to leave the floor for Carman-Ainsworth.
Chapman, on sheer athleticism alone, is one of the top bigs in the area. He was inconsistent in the regular season, but upped his scoring average to about 17 per game in the playoffs as Carman-Ainsworth won a district title.
Top Coach: Tim Herman, Powers. If you couldn't tell, I'm big on awarding coaches who take their teams the furthest. Herman had Powers in the quarterfinals, where they lost to eventual state champion Country Day.
Players: Graham, Magee, Shaquille Smith, Gerald Williams-Taylor, Travon Mitchell. Analysis: Notes on Graham and Magee are above. Smith has the quickest first step in the area and an unstoppable floater — he scored 29 on mostly floaters in the lane against Davison in the playoffs. If he's able to add a reliable jump shot as a senior next year, Smith will put up even bigger numbers.
Williams-Taylor is a bit of a late bloomer. He's unselfish almost to a fault sometimes. He has great size for a perimeter player, he's an explosive finisher, he can handle the ball and he could develop into a pretty good next-level player.
Mitchell had a variety of injuries this season for Northwestern, which limited his explosiveness, but he still rarely left the court for the Wildcats. He's a hard-nosed guy who plays with a lot of emotion and is fun to watch when his shots are falling and he's into the game.
Top Coach: David Bush, Northwestern. While Bush was no doubt hoping to advance further into the playoffs, losing to Mount Pleasant in the regional, the Wildcats were the unquestioned best team in the city this year.
Players: Cody Campbell, Dylan Hickoff, Justin Fowler, Lance Hopkin, Thomas Lovachis. Analysis: Campbell was the best player in this league, and it wasn't really that close. He handles the ball as well as anyone, he's a lights-out shooter and he was the catalyst for a hard-nosed Swartz Creek team that played with as much effort as any team in the area.
Hickoff, just a sophomore, is a lanky wing who can shoot, handle, rebound and is a good athlete. If he puts in the work, he should be the best player in this league by the time he's a senior.
Fowler led Holly's ball-control offense exceptionally well and is one of the best three-point shooters in the area.
Hopkin is simply impossible to keep off the glass. He scores with his back to the basket, he's physical and he was a force down low for the Bronchos.
Lovachis, a transfer, only played 11 games during the regular season but was clearly a top three player in the league, averaging about 16 a game in those 11. He's a big guard who can shoot, attack the basket and finish.
Top Coach: Jeremy Trent, Swartz Creek. Trent had the least depth to work with of any coach of the top three Metro teams, but still led his team to a share of the league title.
Players: Dominez Burnett, Joey Jerisk, Thomas Jean, Roy Jackson, Clarence Coleman. Analysis: Burnett, an All-Stater, was clearly the best player in this league. A rangey forward who plays down low, Burnett also shoots from distance and can put the ball on the floor a little bit.
Jerisk, the league's leading scorer, led Bentley to a solid season. He's a great shooter, a great leader and one of the more fundamentally sound guards in the area.
Jackson had another solid season at point guard for Hamady. He has decent size for a guard, finishes well around the basket and rarely came off the court for the Hawks.
Jean has averaged double-doubles in two consecutive seasons for Genesee, including leading the league in both scoring and rebounding as a junior last year, and will play college basketball for Roosevelt University in Chicago next season.
Coleman quietly had a good season for an improved Bendle team, scoring about 13 a game for the Tigers.
Top Coach: Brad Rainwater, Bentley. The Bulldogs lost their coach, Jeremy Trent, to Swartz Creek, as well as graduating a few key players, but didn't miss a beat this year, finishing 17-4.
Players: Andrew Patrick, Mitch Vallie, Monte Morris, D'Marius Houston, William Sams. Analysis: See above in the All-Area section for Patrick, but another key to Goodrich's season was Grand Blanc transfer Mitch Vallie. Vallie was second on the Martians in scoring and helped replace some of the firepower lost due to graduation last year.
Morris, just a freshman, became Beecher's best player. He's already a fundamentally sound point guard, a great and unselfish passer and efficient scorer.
Houston, an undersized post player, embodied Beecher's toughness. He raised his game dramatically in the playoffs and was a force on the boards all season despite usually giving up height to his opponents.
Sams, also a Grand Blanc transfer, was one of the top players in the area, although he wasn't in the spotlight much playing at Montrose. He'll play for Division II Lake Superior State next season and still had solid overall numbers despite being double-teamed most of the season.
Top Coach: Since Beecher's Williams is my overall pick for area coach of the year, we'll give the GAC-Red award to Gary Barns of Goodrich. Barns is simply a basketball junkie and has built one of the top programs in the area at Goodrich. It's an intimidating gym to play in and the Martians have a better homecourt advantage than any team in the area can boast.
Players: Patrick Haggin, Jordan Fields, Marcus Tucker, Matt Frierson, Dylaen Collins. Analysis: I don't really know where to include Grand Blanc with their conference change, so they have to go into the dreaded "other" category, but don't let that take away from how good the Bobcats were this season.
Haggin is simply the best shooter in the area. His jump shot is a thing of beauty and he became the leading scorer on Grand Blanc this season because he learned how to get it off despite drawing immense focus from opposing defenses.
Tucker came out of nowhere to become an important player for Grand Blanc, which lost four key juniors for various reasons. Tucker, a lefty, averaged about 14 a game, has good size for a guard, can shoot from distance and was a fearless shot-taker, hitting many big shots late in games for Grand Blanc.
Fields, just a sophomore, will be one of the top returning players in the area next season. He handles well, finishes well, passes well and can shoot. He's already a good player, but if he continues to work, he'll be a force next season.
Don't let the Class D fool you — Genesee Christian's Matt Frierson is legit. He's athletic and can score the ball. He would've contributed at any level this season.
And Faith High's Dylaen Collins, who scored about 24 points per game, simply put up numbers too big to ignore this season. We can argue about competition level all we want, but at the end of the day, Collins' numbers were impressive regardless of class.
Top Coach: Chris Belcher, Grand Blanc. Belcher's team seamlessly dealt with premature losses to four key players due to transfers or other reasons. They were well-coached, played hard and might have been the closest-knit team in the area on the court. There were more talented teams out there, but few were as fun to watch as the Bobcats.
And here are a few other awards, for the heck of it:
Top Senior: (tie) Patrick O'Brien and Andrew Patrick
No two guys have meant more to their programs over the last four years than these two. They are coaches on the floor in many ways, fiery leaders and, simply, winners. Any high school team led by one of these guys would be successful.
Top Junior: Jaylen Magee
Cases could be made for Dominez Burnett or Magee's Northwestern teammate, Deondre Parks, but Magee had the best season of any junior and with a work-filled summer, could come back as the leading scorer in the area next season.Top Sophomore: Javontae Hawkins
Jordan Fields, Quinn Langston-McNeal and Antuan Burks-Murphy are among the sophomores who had good seasons, but Hawkins is the best prospect in the area. He averaged about 9 a game after transferring to Powers this season and will step into a primary role next year with the departure of O'Brien and Sanders. Look for Hawkins' scoring to take a big leap.
Top Freshman: Monte Morris
The future of Flint area basketball is in good shape with a strong freshman class that included players like Denzel Watts (Carman-Ainsworth), Richie Lewis (Northern), J.D. Tisdale (Northern), Cullen Turczyn (Lapeer East) and Zeshawn Parker-Jones (Lapeer West). But no freshman had near the impact that Morris did at Beecher. He's more polished than many senior guards and if he continues to improve, he'll be one of the top players Beecher's ever produced.

Thirteen years ago, former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara wrote In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam, a lamentation over the poor judgments of American policymakers that lead this country astray and his complicity in those decision. During his six years at the Pentagon (1961 to 1967) 15,979 Americans had been killed in Southeast Asia. In the subsequent six years that number topped 58,000.
Upon release of his book and his subsequent trail of tears interviews, The New York Times editorialized:
His regret cannot be huge enough to balance the books for our dead soldiers. The ghosts of those unlived lives circle close around Mr. McNamara. Surely he must in every quiet and prosperous moment hear the ceaseless whispers of those poor boys in the infantry, dying in the tall grass, platoon by platoon, for no purpose. What he took from them cannot be repaid by prime-time apology and stale tears three decades later.
For all his hubris and self-conceit, at least McNamara recognized the tragedy of his making. From what I have read, I doubt the 43rd president, in spite of meeting with scores of military families, will ever hear "the ceaseless whispers of those poor boys and girls who died or were maimed in the desert for no purpose."
It seems to me, however, that George Bush and his crew should not be the only ones made to hear those whispers. In what should be a national After Action Report on the Bush Presidency, the American public must also. It has to examine its responsibility for the ongoing engagements in the Middle East and South Asia. In Andrew Bacevich's words: to "step back a little bit, and contemplate the significance of the fact that Americans today are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan ("Too much war for too few warriors" is his characterization) and ask ourselves, how did it come to be that organizing places like Iraq and Afghanistan should have come to be seen to be critical to the well-being of the United States of America."
I will share my thoughts on this issue in Part II of Night of the Living FPE's.

MOBILE, Alabama — A weather-beaten lighthouse, its tattered American flag waving proudly, stands tall against a blue summer sky.
A mother bends over to steady her child as Gulf waves caress the youngster's bare ankles.
Lily pads float like pieces of colored fabric on the placid surface of a lake at dusk.
Residents of the Gulf Coast are accustomed to such images, especially as the chill of early spring yields to summer. Artists cannot resist the urge to depict and interpret these snapshots of life in our region, from sailboats to sunbathers and sand dunes.
The Gulf Coast is revealed in all its glory in this year's second annual "Colors of the Coast" juried exhibition sponsored by Wintzell's Oyster House and Cathedral Square Gallery. Artwork will remain on view through June 29 at 612 Dauphin St., downtown Mobile. (See information box)
"I think the artwork in the show exemplifies what fine artists we have along the Gulf Coast," says Tutta Greer Cone, marketing manager for Cathedral Square Gallery. "It is quite a colorful display. Karen McGahagin, the show chair, did a fabulous job."
The exhibit showcases 64 works selected from 109 works submitted, according to Cone. Yvette Creel, a graphic designer and watercolor painter in Baton Rouge, La., judged the show. She is a member of the New Orleans Art Association, Louisiana Watercolor Society, Transparent Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society and board member of the Baton Rouge Art League.
Creel describes "Colors of the Coast" as "an impressive body of work."
"Artists featured people, wildlife, landscapes and a variety of unique points of view all based on the coastal theme," she says. "The volume of talented work was surprising. It was obviously well publicized and well received by a wide audience of painters and even some photographers."
Wintzell's Best of Show went to Verna Bryant for her 18-by-24-inch oil painting, "Sand Island Light, Tattered and Torn," which Creel says "exhibited strength in realism and detail."
"A friend of mine gave me this photograph and it just took my breath away," Bryant says. "It almost brought me to tears. I think it was seeing the flag flying, even though it was tattered. I just knew I had to paint it."
Loran Chavez took second place for her heartwarming acrylic work titled "First Time at the Beach." Creel says the painting "captured a moment on the coast that all mothers would love to hold onto. The water flowed nicely as well as the fabric in the woman's clothes. The piece had a very fluid feel about it."
"I had a ball doing it," says Chavez, who completed the 24-by-36-inch work about three weeks ago — in one day.
"It was around Mother's Day and I had fond memories of the beach," says Chavez, whose artwork also is on view at Eastern Shore Art Center in Fairhope and the Kangal Gallery in downtown Mobile. "Several people told me, 'My mom did that with me' — holding her child up while waves were pulling sand from beneath your feet."
The artist says she has 18 paintings at ESAC, and another 15 at Kangal. Most of the work is fairly recent, which means she had to hustle to meet all the deadlines. Although she works quickly and efficiently, Chavez admits it was "a crazy week trying to get all that together. It was nuts!"
However, she says the painting-a-day regimen "made me a better painter, made me stop fiddling around, and made my paintings more affordable."
The judge awarded third place to Lynda Smith Touart for "Merde de Mer," a work in color pencil. The piece "revealed vivid detail in an almost abstract way," Creel says. "You concentrated on the color and balance until you almost forgot the piece as a whole."
Touart is one of the busiest artists in the Mobile-Baldwin area, and a regular award winner. Her artwork is currently on view at The Artists' Place at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in west Mobile. Her colorful artwork "Cacti Oh Myyy") earned an ward in the Watercolor & Graphic Arts Society Members' Show ongoing at Mobile Arts Council.
Of the nine award winners in "Colors of the Coast," five are WGAS members.
"I thought it was quite a good show, better than last year's in many ways," Touart says. "Probably because more people were interested in showing in this second year, and the people working on it had more experience. I always enjoy a group show — so much variety. Things to love and things to wonder about."
Touart submitted two works for "Colors of the Coast." One is acrylic and the other, which won, is color pencil.
"Both were from photos I took at the Gulf on the first day of the oil spill," she says. "I happened to be staying down there with a group of friends, and we were so distressed when the news came out!
"There was sadness and even some tears. When we next walked down to the beach, we were afraid it would be the last time we'd see the beautiful white sand and turquoise water with which we'd grown up.

"Sometimes the edge of the surf can be exciting, but in this case it was really quite calm and peaceful. I tried to show the contrast between the light sand and foam, and the dark pile of debris, the way the shadows seemed to add more 'sticks' on the bright sunny day, the variation of color in these mundane elements."
Mike Carmichael earned the Photography Award for "Summer Accent," a digital print from a photo he took earlier this summer at Big Creek Lake.
"What inspired me was the colors in that accent lighting provided by summer setting sun," he says, "and that's the only time I really see those colors in that kind of setting. . . . The water's extremely clear and so you got to see a little bit of the vegetation under the water along with the stuff on the surface, and the reflections — and then a dragonfly landed on one of the lily pads right when I snapped the shutter."
Carmichael says he used a Panasonic digital camera with a Leica lens. The Inkjet print is 18 by 24 inches in a 24-by-30-inch mat.
Merit Awards went to Ted Burn for "Ripple Effect," Ernest Kirkland for "Moonlight Flight," Collette Waite for a work titled "Hustle," and Phyllis Henson for "Sittin' on the Dock."
Creel says she "loved (Burns') abstract water piece that won a Merit Award. The blending of shapes (and) brushstrokes in the water were worthy of recognition."

Interview with Almira Matayoshi
This interview took place on Ebeye in April 1981.
Almira Matayoshi was forty-four years old at the time.
Glenn Alcalay conducted the interview under the auspices
of the Marshall Islands Atomic Testing Litigation Project (MIATLP).
Almira passed away on Sunday, June 5, 2005 in Honolulu.
I was living on Rongelap at the time of the Bravo explosion in 1954. The flash of light was very strong, and it seemed there was a strong power in that lightening which lasted for only a split-second; it came and went so fast. Then came the big sound of the explosion; it was quite a while before the fallout came. My eyes felt like there was something in them and they became irritated. The powder was yellowish and when you walked it was all over your body. Then people got very weak and began to vomit. Most of us were weak and my son was weak and out of breath.
One of my babies was born in 1955, and it did not have any bones in its body. After that I had problems with the next pregnancy and they had to rush me to the Kwajalein hospital because I was bleeding. There they gave me a D & C [dilatation and curettage] and it caused me so much pain that I was temporarily blinded; they had to give me ten pints of blood.
Then I continued to have problems. My oldest son was a year old at the time of the bomb. He was playing outside at the time and his hair turned red from the fallout. Now he does not grow, and he is one of the two boys who Dr. Robert Conard [of Brookhaven Natl. Lab.] tested some new medicines with [i.e., synthroid]. It is clear to me that this is caused by the radiation because during the explosion my son did not eat while he had the powder all over his body. My other son was born around the time of the fallout and he subsequently had his thyroid gland removed. I am sure this is from the bomb.
I do not want my children to go back to Rongelap, and I would like to find a place where my children can live peacefully and have a good life. They will get "poison" if they go back to Rongelap; there is a lot there and I am afraid.
I am now married to a Hawaiian man [Woody] and we lived in Rongelap for a while. He tells me that he does not want our children to go back to Rongelap because of the "poison."
I have some experience from 1946, when I was ten years old at the time. The AEC [Atomic Energy Commission] brought many ships into the Rongelap lagoon; I think there were about six destroyers that had been used in the nuclear tests at Bikini ["Operation Crossroads"]. We kids swam out to these ships and found many cans of food, and we brought these cans back to our families and they ate this food. After two weeks the AEC came back for these ships and then they sank them at the pass at Rongelap. After two weeks an airplane flew over our island and dropped a letter written in English which read: "Please do not eat the tuna fish." We now know that the food in those cans was full of "poison."
In 1978 I was in Japan to attend an anti-bomb conference at Hiroshima and Nagasaki hospitals and we visited the bomb victims ["hibakusha"] there. The people told us of some women who had committed suicide because they felt they were in prison and could not visit their relatives. This is the same feeling we now have living on Ebeye due to our inability to visit our families on Rongelap where we refuse to live because of the "poison."
The number of health problems is increasing with time, and now we are told that all of the Northern Marshals are contaminated, and even the northern half of Rongelap [e.g., Naen] is off-limits because of the "poison." I miss one of our favorite traditional foods - arrowroot ["mokmok"] - which has disappeared after the bomb.
I have pains and much fear from the bomb. At that time I wanted to die, and I have never experienced anything like that. At that time we were really suffering; our bodies ached and our feet were covered with burns, and our hair fell out. Now I see babies growing up abnormally and some are mentally disturbed, but none of these things happened before the bomb. It is sad to see the babies now.
The United States tested bombs here because of the expanse of water and because our islands were suitable for testing. They did not care about the people in the Marshall Islands; they merely think they are something to be used for testing. It is just like what the French are doing to the people of Tahiti [i.e. at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls], and some of those people were put into prison for protesting.
I don't want the United States to test any more in our islands; I do not want this experience again. We now need independent doctors to help us with our problems, as the Brookhaven/DOE doctors have not really helped us to understand our problems. It has now been twenty-seven years since the bomb, and at first people here did not really understand what was going on. But now that some concerned people are helping us, I am sure that things will get better. Also, if I knew then what I know now, I never would have gone back to Rongelap when they returned us in 1957.

bubonics you're saying that people are missing the point of this thread. maybe true, maybe not. i don't really know what you were thinking...but with a title like that it makes me think you are missing the point of this forum.
i come here when i need a break from my desk job and want to relax for a few minutes and think about surfing and read discussions about surfing. i check my local forecast, say a prayer to the wave gods, and look for interesting discussions. if i need specific information i might start a thread.
i don't come on here and expect to learn about a new secret spot. in fact, people sharing spots is practically the only thing that i'm actually surprised to see on this forum. nicaraguan guerilla warfare, sharting in wetsuits and 15 year olds sharing their pr itinerary i expect. spot sharing not so much (i thought for obvious reasons).
if you want to get all deep and metaphysical and try to improve the world, go volunteer at a soup kitchen and talk politics with some homeless people.
Manisses cheers same brother.
Secret Spots are like Unicorns they not exist . Summer time there are crowds in the fall through spring there isn't so make the best of what time and where you go. Most Noobs to surfing dont understand the ocean yet and just go whenever . So in all likely chances your not gonna run into them . Summer time go before the crowds or after the guards and summer crowds leave for the day.
Its funny that Im away for over three years and topics never change

JOHNSTOWN - A worldwide trucking-warehousing company based in California has signed a lease to move into most of the 113,400-square-foot former Finkle Distributors building at the Johnstown Industrial Park, beginning May 1.
Michael Reese, president and chief executive officer of the Fulton County Center for Regional Growth, said Monday the CRG recently signed a two-year lease with California-based Yusen Logistics (America) Inc.
The company already has a building in the park, but it needed a bigger site, Reese said.
According to the Yusen Logistics website, the company provides air and ocean freight, as well as extensive truck services worldwide.
Reese said the company will use about 90,000 square feet of Finkle's former building at 160 Enterprise Drive. He said the CRG had been negotiating with Yusen Logistics for several months, and he has been working with an Albany real-estate agent on the lease.
He said the company previously purchased NYK Logistics in the Johnstown Industrial Park at 123 Union Ave. Ext.
Reese said the plan is for Yusen Logistics to vacate that smaller facility and move into the former Finkle building.
Reese said Yusen Logistics could have easily packed up at NYK Logistics and taken all of its business to Schenectady or Saratoga Springs.
"It's a positive. It keeps them here," Reese said.
He couldn't say how many new jobs may be created by Yusen Logistics.
"With more space, there's a potential for more jobs," Reese said.
A spokesman for Yusen Logistics in Long Beach, Calif., couldn't be reached Monday for comment.
CRG Board of Directors Chairman Dusty Swanger said Monday the move is a positive one for the county.
"We're certainly delighted that they needed the space and that they're moving into a larger facility," Swanger said. "It's good that they're staying in Fulton County."
The building was operated for many years by Finkle Distributors. That company filed for bankruptcy and was sold to California-based Core-Mark Holding Co. in August 2010 before vacating the facility.
According to the CRG website, the building has 113,400 square feet of "low bay" warehouse space, office space, docks, and ample parking.
The metal-and-brick building was built in 1996.

Nineties women's taste in footballers shows increased open-mindedness – Part 21
May 7, 2012 by Jenni Hutchinson
Part 1 of this article, entitled "Nineties women are cosmopolitan, eighties women have mellowed with age, and we all love Beckham", can be found here.
Question 6: Which of the following statements apply to you now?
These statements asked women whether they liked men of the same, or different, nationality or ethnicity; whether religious and political factors were important to them when choosing a partner; whether or not they liked conventional men; whether or not they would like to fulfil a traditional woman's role in the home; and whether or not they value their independence.

Nineties women are cosmopolitan, eighties women have mellowed with age, and we all love Beckham.1
April 21, 2012 by Jenni Hutchinson
First of all, I would like to thank the wonderful admins of Kickette for sharing the link to the survey that was used to create this article on their Twitter page, which quadrupled the number of responses.
96 different women (and one male Facebook friend, being silly) answered seven questions about the men and boys they liked when they were teenagers, those they like now, and their favourite footballers. There are many things I wanted to get a handle on by running this survey. I wanted to do it about football because I like football. You could do it with anything. Perhaps a parallel survey could tell us about how those of us who like footballers differ from those who like boy-bands, although, reading the aforementioned Kickette and puzzling over why anyone would drool over Gareth Bale or Joe Hart, I suspect the results would be similar. Without further ado, here's what we found.

Gembling is a hamlet in the civil parish of Foston-on-the-Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It is situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) south-west from the coastal resort of Bridlington and 2.5 miles (4 km) north from the village of North Frodingham.
Historically, Gembling was in the ecclesiastical parish of Foston-on-the-Wolds in the wapentake of Dickering. From 1894 until 1974, Gembling was a civil parish in Driffield Rural District until 1935 when it merged with the neighbouring parish of Beeford. Civil parish groups of villages and hamlets have altered since 1974.
In 1974 most of what had been the East Riding of Yorkshire was joined with the northern part of Lincolnshire to became a new English county named Humberside. The urban and rural districts of the former counties were abolished and Humberside was divided into non-metropolitan districts. The new organization did not meet with the pleasure of the local citizenry and Humberside was wound up in 1996. The area north of the River Humber was separated into two "unitary authorities"—Kingston-upon-Hull covering the former City of Hull and its closest environs, and the less urban section which, once again, named itself the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Justin Verlander isn't necessarily out of the race for the AL Cy Young, but if the Tigers' ace is looking to win the coveted hardware, ESPN's Peter Gammons says Verlander will have to toss picture-perfect innings in his last four scheduled starts.
"I think he'd have to reel off dominant starts from here until the end of the season. As of now Zach Greinke's ERA, quality starts and strikeouts make him very difficult to beat," Gammons said during his Monday chat on ESPN.com . "But Verlander, Felix Hernandez and CC Sabathia are right in the mix."
Verlander is one win shy of tying New York Yankees' left-hander CC Sabathia for the AL lead in wins with 17. Verlander has a 3.24 ERA and a league-leading 230 strikeouts.
Greinke (13-8) has an American League-best 2.19 ERA, but has the worst run support of any starter in the AL that has pitched at least 100 innings. The Royals are averaging less than 3.5 runs a game in his starts.
Greinke still has four starts remaining -- including a start Thursday against Detroit. However, no pitcher in a full season has won the Cy Young with less than 16 victories, according to Yahoo! Sports.
The Dodgers' Fernando Valenzuela won the 1981 National League Cy Young Award with 13 victories, but there was a 50-day strike that season. The only American League Cy Young winner on a last-place club was the Blue Jays Roger Clemens in 1997.
Greinke, who has 216 strikeouts, has allowed one earned run in his past 24 innings, but has recorded two-no decisions in his past two starts, according to The Detroit Free Press. The right-handed ace has allowed four earned runs -- and no home runs -- in 31 innings against Detroit for a 1.16 ERA.

A Salem man released Wednesday morning from Marion County jail was back behind bars an hour later, arrested after allegedly going next door and tampering with the jail's water supply.
When jail employees noticed a significant drop in water pressure shortly after 9 a.m., they called Marion County facilities workers. They discovered Dereck A. Benitz, 40, pulling wires out of the walls in the jail's water main vault, county Cmdr. Jason Myers said.
Benitz reportedly was screaming that he had "defused the bomb." No bomb was found, but Benitz had apparently turned off the main water valves. Jail officials arrested him and took him back to jail.
Benitz had been cited on an accusation of third-degree criminal mischief and released about an hour before the incident. He now faces charges of first-degree criminal trespass, criminal mischief, second-degree burglary and disorderly conduct.

CAMDEN — A former field investigator with the state Department of Labor & Workforce Development, Division of Wage and Hour Compliance, was sentenced Friday to 3 1/2 years in prison in connection with a bribery scheme, admitting he accepted bribe payments from owners and operators of temporary labor firms in return for his official assistance benefiting the companies, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
James Peyton, 73, of Salem previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Noel L. Hillman to an Information charging him with acceptance of a bribe and subscribing to a false tax return. Peyton has been detained since Oct. 26.
Peyton admitted that from 2006 to 2009, he solicited and accepted corrupt cash payments from owners or operators of temporary labor firms that were in the scope of his inspection activities with the intent to be influenced in the performance of his official duties as an employee of the Department of Labor. Peyton took as much as $8,000 in cash bribes per quarter. Peyton admitted that in exchange for corrupt payments, he prepared tax forms that intentionally understated the amount of tax owed to the state by temporary labor firms.
Peyton also admitted that he filed a 2007 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return that contained false information. He falsely claimed total taxable income of $65,728 for the calendar year 2007, which failed to claim his income gained through the bribery scheme.
Four other defendants have also pleaded guilty in connection with the scheme and are awaiting sentencing.

KALAMAZOO, MI — Western Michigan University is asking people to take it off – but not all of it! – for charity.
The Residence Life office is sponsoring the university's first 5K "Strip Run" to collect clothing for Kalamazoo-area foster children from 2 to 6 p.m. on March 23.
Registered participants will run or walk through the 3.1 mile course on campus. At stations set up around the course, they will remove five articles of new or gently used clothing.
The event isn't intended to be R-rated: Participants are required to wear a shirt and shorts at all times, organizers note.
"We wanted to do something original and interactive to bring in donations as well as to promote wellness," said Jasen Herrera, assistant director of Harrison/Stinson Hall, whose students and staff are coordinating the effort.
The Strip Run will be collecting clothes for the Kalamazoo County Department of Human Services' closet program, which supplies clothing free of charge to foster youth.
Those who wish to donate without joining the run may drop off items at the start/finish line at the Student Recreation Center.
An information and registration night will be held from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21, in Room 204 of the Bernhard Center. In addition, a registration session will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, outdoors between Sangren Hall and the Lee Honors College at the Campus Flagpoles.
Participants also may register from 1 to 2 p.m. on March 23 in the Student Recreation Center's indoor tennis court area.

A. The Pistons give 100 percent all the time. (Effort is important, and tanking is unacceptable.)
B. The Pistons lose all the time. (Losses lead to better draft picks.)
If the past two games are any indication, the latter is more likely.
The worst thing about the team's recent road losses to Indiana and Cleveland is that many of the guys on the court did not seem overly concerned.
"The second half of the Indiana game, we played well," Pistons coach John Kuester said Monday after practice.
Most would argue that the Pistons played well in just one quarter in their past two games: the fourth against the Pacers, when they rallied from what had been a 24-point deficit to take a one-point lead late in the game, only to lose by four. But that leaves six quarters we can all pretty much agree upon.
"Anytime you get beat the way we did, it's disappointing," Kuester said, "but we've got to continue to just keep plugging away and make sure we finish this thing as strong as we possibly can."Will they finish strong?
That depends a lot on Richard Hamilton.
Ben Wallace usually sets the pace when it comes to effort, but he is hurt and likely will miss a few more games. And it doesn't matter how much energy Jonas Jerebko or Jason Maxiell show, or how consistently optimistic Kuester is, Hamilton needs to be the pace setter.
On Friday, Hamilton went scoreless for the first time since the 2000-01 season and played a season-low 19 minutes. In Sunday's game, he did not score after the first quarter and finished with just six points in 19 minutes.
Think about that. The Pistons' leading scorer and biggest name -- the guy who gets introduced last at home games -- went scoreless in seven of eight quarters.
Pistons fans will learn a lot Tuesday night about how Hamilton and the Pistons will finish the season. One day after Cleveland completed its first season sweep of Detroit in 30 years, Indiana rolls into The Palace of Auburn Hills looking to finish a 4-0 sweep of its own.
But the Pacers are not anything like the Cavaliers. The Pacers are a lot like, well, the Pistons. Except when they play the Pistons. Then, they look a lot like, well, the Cavaliers.
It's not just that the Pacers built huge leads in all three games against the Pistons or beat them all three times. The reason the Pistons should be so embarrassed by their losses to Indiana is that the Pacers have shown them nothing but disrespect.
The Pacers have dunked on, celebrated in front of and downright taunted Detroit at times and, for the most part, the Pistons have not fought back.
Seriously, it's one thing when the Cavaliers are celebrating a 3-pointer with that stupid hand signal they do by their right eyes. They're the best team in the league. But when Roy Hibbert is laughing in your face, well, you should be able to find some fight.
If the Pistons cannot muster enough energy and effort to beat the Pacers, it means they have waved the white flag.
If they come out of the locker room fired up and refuse to lose, it won't change anything concrete. They still will be bound for the lottery. But it would show that they still care, that they have pride.
And if you compare that to what you saw out of the Pistons over the weekend, that would be a welcome change.

Arguably pervy octogenarian Hugh Hefner popped the question to his 24-year-old girlfriend, Crystal Harris, on Sunday, the Associated Press reports. Hefner tweeted the news early Sunday that he'd given Harris a ring -- "This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory" -- and confirmed later via Twitter that it was indeed an engagement ring.
Harris would be Hefner's third wife. He was married to Mildred Williams from 1949 to 1959, and tied the knot with Playboy Playmate Kimberly Conrad in 1989, but they split up after nine years. (However, he didn't file for divorce until last year, claiming Conrad had cheated on him early in their marriage.)
"Age is truly just a number and all I want is for my dad to be happy," tweets Cooper Hefner, 19, Hefner's son from his marriage to Conrad. "I couldn't be more thrilled that he has found such a nice women [sic]."

The buying spree is good for the car companies, if only for the short term and for certain car models. It's good, too, for folks who've been sitting on an older car or truck but weren't sure they had the cash to trade it in for something new. Now they get a taxpayer subsidy of up to $4,500, which on some models can be 25% of the purchase price. It's hardly surprising that Peter is willing to use a donation from his neighbor Paul, midwifed by Uncle Sugar, to class up his driveway.
On the other hand, this is crackpot economics. The subsidy won't add to net national wealth, since it merely transfers money to one taxpayer's pocket from someone else's, and merely pays that taxpayer to destroy a perfectly serviceable asset in return for something he might have bought anyway. By this logic, everyone should burn the sofa and dining room set and refurnish the homestead every couple of years.
I assume that Congressman Jim Himes learned something about economics at Lawrenceville Prep and even more at Harvard, so why did he vote for this boondoggle? For that matter, even if he's from Cos Cob, he must be aware that we sailors would love a new Hinckley and surely a boat-builder's job is as important as an assembly line worker's in Detroit? Why not pass out $450,000 new boat subsidies and put Maine back to work? It's all funny money anyway and doesn't cost anything so where's my check?
It could have something to do with the fact that boatworkers don't belong to the UAW, you think?

Enumclaw employee contracts confirmed by City Council
Members of the Enumclaw City Council polished off some important business during their final meeting of the year, confirming contracts with two key groups of municipal employees.
During their Dec. 9 gathering, councilmen gave their formal nod to contracts that had been hammered out with both police officers and members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. AFSCME represents regular employees, both full- and part-time, who work in the city's administrative, public works, finance, parks and Expo Center departments.
Current contracts with both bargaining units were set to expire Dec. 31. Each had previously been ratified by union membership.
The new, two-year AFSCME contract calls for a cost-of-living increase of 1.5 percent for 2014 and assumes a 2 percent hike for 2015. The union agreed to a concession with it comes to healthcare costs; the employee share for medical premiums increases from 10 percent to 15 percent.
In addition, the contract spells out traditional items like hours of work; holidays (10 paid holidays annually, plus another two "floating" holidays; sick leave, vacation days; grievance procedures; promotions/demotions; discipline and discharge.
The three-year contract with the Enumclaw Police Officers Association applies to all commissioned officers under the rank of lieutenant.
The new pact calls for a 3 percent cost-of-living adjustment for 2014 and a 1 percent increase for 2015, with the third year to be negotiated at a later date. Union members will be paying slightly more to have spouses and dependents included on their insurance policy.
Other key items in the new contract deal with seniority, premium pay, educational incentives, off-duty employment, layoffs and a no-strike provision.
As is custom, the council passed a motion canceling the second meeting of December.

It's the North against the South in the new Country Music Television series, "Sweet Home Alabama," being filmed in the heat of the summer on Mobile Bay.
Series participants have not been announced, according to Natasha Powell, a publicist for CMT, which is based in Nashville, Tenn. The reality show is slated to air in mid-July.
Casting calls in New York and Los Angeles were pitched to single men aged 21 to 25. Producers paid all expenses for those selected, including flying them to Alabama to live in the bay house during filming, according to publicity reports.
"It's the Southern version of 'Bachelorette,'" said Amanda Bacon, who has leased her family's bay house with wide, Southern porches and high ceilings to CMT from late May until the end of June.
"Bachelorette" is a spinoff of ABC's competitive reality dating game show, "The Bachelor."
CMT also leased one of two guest cottages on the Bacons' property, which has 180 front feet on Mobile Bay.
Alabama Film Commission and CMT scouted the location
The Alabama Film Commission and CMT were scouting locations on the Eastern Shore when they knocked on the Bacons' front door to gauge their interest.
"We said, 'Sure,' but it was nothing concrete," Amanda Bacon said. "They called a week later to rent our house. We said we wouldn't do a contract over the phone, so they flew in on a Monday and were packing us to move out on Wednesday. It happened very fast."
The rent incentive offered by CMT "motivated us to leave our house in the month of June. They have to leave it just how they found it. I'm looking at it as an opportunity to fluff my house. They have already painted a couple of rooms, and they will have to paint them back in whatever color I choose."
The family, which includes a 7-year-old son, relocated to a nearby home on the Magnolia River but continues to interact with the show's production crew, Bacon said.
The Bacons' contract with CMT prevents them from revealing the bachelors' names or who got kicked out of the original group of 20. They also can't identify the bachelorette, other than saying that she is a pretty young woman from the South, Amanda Bacon said.
"It's quite an entourage of men, from Mohawks to tattoos and sweet Southern boys."
Bacon said that CMT's version of Alabama is different from reality, at least in this part of Alabama.
"They do think we're a bunch of rednecks," she said, laughing. "They set up horseshoes for the guys. And my husband and I jokingly offered to bring in pigs to grease."
The contestants also went horseback riding at Oak Hollow Farms in 99-degree heat, she said. The bachelors hang out on the beach along the bay while the bachelorette is on a date, she said.
"I've laughed a couple of times about how many have quit to go back home and get out of the heat," she said. "They set up free weights in the yard and are pumping iron. It's like a testosterone festival."
While their bayfront house is good-sized, there are not enough showers and bathroom facilities to accommodate all the men, she said.
"They had to bring in shower trailers and port-a-lets," she said. "And they sleep in bunk beds. It's an endurance test, is what it is. And there's real tension between the Northern guys and the Southern. They don't talk to each other."

Then the article takes a geographically-fuzzy turn, stating "the beaches are known for the strange occurrence of 'jubilees,' random nights when crabs, fish, and shrimp flop up on the beach and make for easy pickings."
Most locals will be well aware that jubilees are hardly mysterious (the fish leave oxygen-depleted water because they can't breathe) and that the strange occurrence is primarily associated with Mobile Bay, typically the Eastern Shore cities of Daphne and Fairhope, and not the Gulf of Mexico or Gulf Shores.
In fact, scientists have shown the phenomenon is caused by the large influx of fresh water from the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta preventing the heavier, salty water at the bottom from making contact with air at the surface. That water then becomes depleted of oxygen, driving bottom-dwelling species into extremely shallow waters or out of the water altogether.
The posting then recommends the Wash House Restaurant (in Fairhope) and the Magnolia Springs Bed and Breakfast (in Magnolia Springs) as places to eat and stay.
So all of Baldwin County can take a little bit of pride in the latest award for Gulf Shores, although hopefully no one will book a room at Magnolia Springs to be next to the white, sandy Gulf beaches, or expect to see a jubilee on those Gulf beaches, or stay in Gulf Shores and expect a quick and easy drive to Wash House Restaurant (about 45 minutes by car).

'Birds of Whidbey' art show will benefit Whidbey Camano Land Trust
For watercolorist Craig Johnson of Freeland, the great horned owl on his easel is not just any owl. It is Teddy.
Great horned owls maintain territories where they hunt rats, mice, voles and other small game. Johnson and his wife, Joy, named this one Teddy and came to recognize their old friend on frequent wildlife outings to Fort Casey.
So they were thrilled last summer to encounter Teddy's whole family, including mate and two juveniles, sitting together in a tree near Admiralty Head Lighthouse. A gathering like that in one tree is called a parliament of owls and it's a magical moment for any birder.
It inspired Johnson to paint Teddy and 34 other birds and sponsor a "Birds of Whidbey" show of his watercolors, Tuesday, Oct. 23 in the Front Room of Bayview Cash Store. The Johnsons are donating half the proceeds to Whidbey Camano Land Trust.
For a livelihood Johnson paints watercolor images of maritime vessels for commercial clients. But on the side he's a passionate photographer, artist and advocate for birds.
He started photographing birds several years ago as a hobby. He and Joy published three books of stunning photography, the latest of which, "Our Puget Sound Birds and Habitat," contains many Whidbey Island images and is available in area bookstores and wild bird shops.
It will also be available for sale at the art show, along with a selection of Johnson's greeting cards.
Johnson is also conservation co-chairman of Whidbey Audubon, a job he takes seriously.
"Habitat loss is the single greatest threat to birds," he noted. "So it's not hard to understand my enthusiasm for Whidbey Camano Land Trust and all the people who are working with them to preserve forests, agricultural lands and wetlands on these islands."
"Birds are a joy to our lives," Johnson added. "They are fabulously diverse and specialized. You can't watch them hunt and raise their young without feeling good, feeling a sense of wonder, and wanting to make sure we always have a diversity of birds on our islands. They are a big part of why this is such a desirable place to live."
"The Birds of Whidbey" is a one-day show in the Front Room at Bayview Cash Store. It runs from noon to 8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 23. Beverages and hors d'ouvre will be served.
