"The story of the Murrah building bombing receives its most comprehensive accounting yet… It is a cautionary and at times startling tale, filled with bizarre characters from the outer fringes of American political life, with continuing relevance today." (Michael Isikoff, The Daily Beast)
"Impressive... There are enough freak-show touches to keep an FX drama stocked for three seasons… As Gumbel and Rogers tell it, the bombing investigation fell short of discovering the truth because of sloppiness, self-serving intra-office politics, and obstructive turf wars among law enforcement agencies." (Salon)
"A well-reported, sober assessment... They make a strong case that some individuals involved in the bombing remain at liberty...the message is important for the future security of the U.S. citizenry." (Kansas City Star)
"Credible and relevant... Offers a perspective other than what was proved at the trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols...and explores the unsettling question of whether such an event could happen again by homegrown perpetrators." (Tulsa World)
"This crisply written, fully documented book will anger you." (The Tucson Citizen)
"The most comprehensive account yet...will dash the smug assertions at the time that the feds had caught all the perpetrators." (The Commercial Dispatch (Mississippi))
From the Back Cover
In the early morning of April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh drove into downtown Oklahoma City in a rented Ryder truck containing a deadly fertilizer bomb that he and his army buddy Terry Nichols had made the previous day. He parked in a handicapped-parking zone, hopped out of the truck, and walked away into a series of alleys and streets. Shortly after 9:00 A.M., the bomb obliterated one-third of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people, including 19 infants and toddlers. McVeigh claimed he'd worked only with Nichols, and at least officially, the government believed him. But McVeigh's was just one version of events. And much of it was wrong.
In Oklahoma City, veteran investigative journalists Andrew Gumbel and Roger G. Charles puncture the myth about what happened on that day—one that has persisted in the minds of the American public for nearly two decades. Working with unprecedented access to government documents, a voluminous correspondence with Terry Nichols, and more than 150 interviews with those immediately involved, Gumbel and Charles demonstrate how much was missed beyond the guilt of the two principal defendants: in particular, the dysfunction within the country's law enforcement agencies, which squandered opportunities to penetrate the radical right and prevent the bombing, and the unanswered question of who inspired the plot and who else might have been involved.
To this day, the FBI heralds the Oklahoma City investigation as one of its great triumphs. In reality, though, its handling of the bombing foreshadowed many of the problems that made the country vulnerable to attack again on 9/11. Law enforcement agencies could not see past their own rivalries and underestimated the seriousness of the deadly rhetoric coming from the radical far right. In Oklahoma City, Gumbel and Charles give the fullest, most honest account to date of both the plot and the investigation, drawing a vivid portrait of the unfailingly compelling—driven, eccentric, fractious, funny, and wildly paranoid—characters involved.

It's no secret to folks in Roane County that Wendell's Diner in Midtown has some of the best burgers around.
Now people outside of Roane County are finding out. Wendell's Diner was recently tabbed in Garden & Gun Magazine's "Guide to the South's Best Burgers."
"We're very proud of this," owner Wendell Ruppe said. "We don't even know how we got nominated. We don't know if they had someone come in or if someone nominated us, but this is great.
The Roane County Chamber of Commerce has worked for many years to offer new ways to grow area businesses.
One of those ways is through a newly designed, more interactive website that provides more opportunity for members and the community to engage in ways never before possible.
The website — www.RoaneChamber.com — is now up and running.
"With the dependence our society has on digital communication, the way the Chamber serves its members must also change," said Wade Creswell, president and CEO of The Roane Alliance.
The Bridge at Rockwood has achieved 2015 accreditation as a skilled nursing facility actively performing Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement activities.
"We couldn't be prouder of our team of caregivers for the compassionate, quality care they work so hard to offer, which is reflected by this accreditation," said Kathy Owens, chief nursing officer for Signature HealthCare, parent company of The Bridge at Rockwood.
Roane Countians who depend on wood stoves for heat and the chimneys they're connected to now have a place to turn to for service, products and answers — and just in time for cold weather.
Jody Starnes turned his passion for wood stoves and chimneys into a career, opening Starnes Chimney Sweeps Woodstoves and Patio Store in Kingston.
He's a chimney sweep who sells and installs chimney inserts and wood stoves.
Earl Duff Subaru in Harriman has been in business for more than 40 years.
A big reason why is how they treat their customers.
That customer service was recognized recently when the dealership received Subaru's Stellar Care Award for a fourth straight year.
"It's the biggest goal I set for us every year," Earl Duff Subaru Dealer Principal Tim Duff said. "In my opinion, it's the biggest award given by Subaru because it's based on how you treat the customer."
Roane County Chamber of Commerce recently had a ribbon-cutting celebration for Poor Boys Towing & Auto Repair at 2379 Kingston Hwy., Kingston.
Taking part in the celebration are, front row from left, Christy Brown, Madison Stout, owner Greg Rose, Melissa Rose, Marcus Mendoza, Saundra Bandy, Paulette Ray of The Roane Alliance; and back row, Joe Barr, Roger Parker, Matthew Libby, Rose Meza and Tudd Barr.
Renee Jolly of Rockwood was recently named store manager of the Rockwood Cato store.
The store is in Tyler Pointe Shopping Center at 1140 N. Gateway Ave.
Jolly's previous work experience includes 15 years as the owner and operator of Precision Cuts. As store manager, Jolly's responsibilities include assisting customers in wardrobe selection and creating an easy shopping experience with color-coordinated visual presentations.
Roane County Chamber of Commerce and SCORE will have their Lunch and Learn Workshop Series on "How to Grow Your Business" on Sept. 22 in The Roane Alliance at 1209 N. Kentucky St., Kingston.
Lunch will be served at 11:50 a.m.; the workshop will be from noon to 2 p.m. The workshop is free for Chamber members, with a maximum of two participants per membership; others pay $35.
Space is limited; call 376-5572 for reservations.
Our latest "Out to Lunch" adventure, a day trip to the Harrow Road Café in historic Rugby, offered some interesting sight seeing.
"You know, I remember the scenic mountain views we're seeing, and it's almost as enjoyable as the food," my wife, Carol, said as we traveled to Rugby. She was referring to "Out to Lunch" article on Harrow Road Café in August 2008.
"Burgers, barbecue pork and grilled-chicken sandwiches are the most popular items, plus the fried bologna sandwich," Bob Alford told me when I was writing an "Out to Lunch" article on Bob's Burgers in April 2008.
He started Bob's Burgers and, in 2008, owned it with his wife, Debbie.
Gosh, it doesn't seem like it was seven years ago. On the 2008 visit, I ordered the well-known "Burger."
The Alfords decided to hang it up earlier this year. The Midtown restaurant, still bearing the founder's name, is up and running under new ownership.

Weatherstripping West Dallas
Mayor Tom Leppert's made it quite clear in recent months: West Dallas sits high atop his to-do list. To the checklist, add this item: weather-stripping, caulking and insulating some 400 homes that aren't terribly energy efficient. The city council's Housing Committee will get the full details today at 2 p.m., but here are the broad strokes: For some time, the city's been identifying so-called Neighborhood Investment Program areas in need of improvement -- among them Rochester Park, Fair Park and West Dallas. As part of that initiative, the city wants to weatherize homes to "achieve energy efficiency improvements" suggested in earlier council proposals.
It won't be cheap: The city guesstimates that it'll need to redo 400 homes at an average cost of $5,000 each, and the city hopes to hire a contractor -- if not more than one -- by July in order to "conduct the necessary energy assessments and retrofits so as to achieve reduction in energy usage." Alas, the money will come from the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program, funded by the funded for the first time under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The city also says it will need to hire an inspector and a coordinator to handle the administration of the program, which will also involve everything from replacing fixing duct work to screwing in compact fluorescent light bulbs. And it wants to get one house done by August and the whole neighborhood finished by February.
So, why the sudden interest in weatherizing West Dallas? Says the briefing memo:
As the Calatrava Bridge, Trinity Park Initiatives and the widening of Singleton Blvd. have fueled reinvestment in West Dallas, the City's redevelopment strategy has focused on the existing housing stock with emphasis on infill, rehabilitation and redevelopment. This weatherization effort directly supports the departments housing goals for this NIP Target neighborhood.

Brian & Sebastian - CocksureMen
Models: Brian Banks and Sebastian Fischer
Studio: Cocksure Men
Almost everyone gets tattoos these days. Some more than others. Both Brian and Sebastian are part of the "more" crowd and this leads to some very hot man-on-man action. While Brian is waiting for his date to get ready, he and her brother, Sebastian, pass the time by showing each their tats. Sebastian's ink covers virtually his entire body so he's naked in no time, turning Brian on big-time. The two guys exchange blow jobs, showing off those big, thick cocks. Sebastian gets on all fours on top of the coffee table and gives up his ass to Brian's lubed-up pole. The butt-pounding fun continues as Sebastian sits on Brian's cock until he jacks his load. Brian follows suit with his own gusher, teased out as Sebastian licks his balls. It's like watching two works of art fuck!

Driving Directions
Take N.J. Route 17 north to the New York State Thruway and take the first exit, Exit 15A (Sloatsburg). Turn left at the bottom of the ramp onto N.Y. Route 17 north, and continue through the Village of Sloatsburg. Just past the village, turn right at the traffic light, following the sign for Harriman State Park. Cross an overpass over railroad tracks and continue along the Seven Lakes Drive, passing under the Thruway overpass, and soon entering Harriman State Park. Proceed for another mile to the Reeves Meadow Visitor Center, on the right side of the road. Park in the Visitor Center's parking lot.
Take the NJ Transit/Metro-North Port Jervis Line to the Sloatsburg station. From the station, cross the railroad tracks and head north on Ballard Avenue. When Ballard Avenue ends, turn right onto Academy Avenue and continue to Seven Lakes Drive. Turn right on Seven Lakes Drive, continue under the New York State Thruway, and pass Greenway Road and Laurel Road on the right. A short distance beyond, about 0.9 mile from the train station, you'll reach a bridge over the Stony Brook. On the bridge, you will notice a triple red-square-on-white blaze and a directional arrow, which mark the trailhead of the Pine Meadow Trail. Turn right, leaving the road, and follow this red-on-white-blazed trail for another 0.8 mile to the Reeves Meadow Visitor Center.
From the parking lot, head east (left when facing the woods), passing the Visitor Center to the left. You are following the red-on-white-blazed Pine Meadow Trail, which parallels Stony Brook, to the left. Continue ahead along this wide trail for 0.4 mile until you reach a fork. The yellow-blazed Stony Brook Trail, which proceeds straight ahead, will be your return route, but you should bear right and continue along the red-on-white-blazed Pine Meadow Trail.
The trail dips slightly to cross Quartz Brook. There is a footbridge over the stream on the right, but when the water is low, the stream can easily be crossed on rocks. After crossing a gas pipeline right-of-way, the trail continues to follow a wide path along the hillside, high above Stony Brook (which can be heard below to the left).
About 1.2 miles from the start, the orange-blazed Hillburn-Torne-Sebago Trail joins briefly. Continue ahead on the red-on-white blazed Pine Meadow Trail. Soon, the blue-on-white-blazed Seven Hills Trail joins from the right. In another 500 feet, you'll reach a junction. Here, the Pine Meadow and Seven Hills Trails turn left to cross Pine Meadow Brook on a footbridge, but you should continue ahead (don't cross the footbridge), now following the white-blazed Kakiat Trail.
The Kakiat Trail climbs gradually for about a third of a mile until it reaches the start of the black-on-white-blazed Raccoon Brook Hills Trail. You'll be following this trail in a short while, but for now, continue ahead on the white-blazed Kakiat Trail. The trail levels off and passes some huge boulders to the right. It then turns left to cross an intermittent stream and continues through a dense mountain laurel thicket, with an understory of blueberry bushes.
After climbing a narrow passage through rocks and passing jumbled boulders to the right, the Kakiat Trail is joined by the black-on-white-blazed Raccoon Brook Hills Trail. The two trails run together for about 100 feet, and when they diverge, turn left and follow the Raccoon Brook Hills Trail. The trail descends gradually for a short distance, then climbs steeply to an open rock ledge, with pitch pines and scrub oak. There is a view to the southwest from here, and it might seem like the summit – but it's not. Just ahead, you'll encounter another steep, rocky climb, with a wooden ladder placed at a particularly steep spot near the top.
At the top of the climb (elevation 1,150 feet), the trail comes out on a rock ledge with a panoramic southwest-facing view. This spot – the western summit of the mountain – is the halfway point of the hike, and it's a good place to take a break. The trail continues along the crest of the ridge, soon once again coming out on open rocks, with more views. It then descends through thick mountain laurel, comes out on an open area, and climbs slightly to reach the eastern summit. Pine Meadow Lake is to the right, but the lake cannot be seen from the summit when there are leaves on the trees.
The Raccoon Brook Hills Trail now begins a steep descent. At the base of the descent, a junction is reached with the yellow-on-white-blazed Poached Egg Trail. Here, the Raccoon Brook Hills Trail turns left, but you should continue ahead on the Poached Egg Trail. This short trail proceeds through a rocky area to reach Pine Meadow Road West – an unmarked dirt road, built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
Turn left onto Pine Meadow Road West, which runs near the shore of Pine Meadow Lake. In about a third of a mile, the road comes out on the lake shore. You'll want to stop here and enjoy the beauty of this scenic lake. Built by the CCC in 1934, it was designed to serve children's camps that would be developed around the lake, but these camps were never established.
Continue ahead and cross the dam of the lake (which was designed to accommodate a two-lane road). About 100 feet beyond the dam, turn left onto the red-on-white-blazed Pine Meadow Trail, which descends on a woods road. At the base of the descent, after crossing a wide, shallow stream, the Pine Meadow Trail curves to the right and reaches, in about 200 feet, a junction with the yellow-blazed Diamond Mountain-Tower Trail.
Turn left on the yellow trail, which almost immediately turns right and climbs Diamond Mountain on switchbacks. As you reach the top, there is an excellent view back over Pine Meadow Lake. At the crest of the ridge, the Diamond Mountain-Tower Trail ends at a junction with the blue-on-white-blazed Seven Hills Trail and the orange-blazed Hillburn-Torne-Sebago Trail. Turn left and follow the blue and orange trails, which soon reach a panoramic viewpoint to the west and north.
A short distance beyond, where the trails separate, bear right and follow the orange-blazed Hillburn-Torne-Sebago Trail. The trail descends very steeply for a short distance, then levels off and follows the ridge of Halfway Mountain for about half a mile. At a west-facing viewpoint, the trail begins a gradual descent to Pine Meadow Brook.
At the brook, the Hillburn-Torne-Sebago Trail reaches a junction with the white-blazed Kakiat Trail. Turn right and follow the Kakiat Trail, which proceeds over and around huge boulders. In another quarter of a mile, you'll reach a junction with the yellow-blazed Stony Brook Trail. Turn left, now following both white and yellow blazes, and cross a footbridge over Pine Meadow Brook. A short distance beyond, the Kakiat Trail leaves to the right, but you should continue ahead on the yellow-blazed Stony Brook Trail. This section of the trail, which closely parallels the cascading brook, is particularly scenic.
After crossing a gas pipeline right-of-way and then Quartz Brook, the Stony Brook Trail ends at a junction with the red-on-white-blazed Pine Meadow Trail. Continue ahead on the Pine Meadow Trail, which parallels Stony Brook and leads back to the parking lot where the hike began.

enjoyed it
On September 6th, 2014 strafer says:
I went with my wife 9/3/14 - a weekday We went kind of spur of the moment without looking at a map- just following the directions aboveOur 2nd hike (first hike was evening before) It was a nice hike - with 0 people encounted on RBH path and only 1 person seen at the lake and then 0 people again on Diamond Mountain. However I think we made the same mistake as the earlier commenter - At the peak of Diamond Mountain we stopped not to disturb some eagles and when we turned around behind us we saw the views of the lake we just visited. Going forward again we found the blue & orange trail markers together on the same path but they continued on to the Right - not the Left as described in the instuctions above. We doubled back to look for any orange trail markers going to the left but found none - we only found the blue trail going to the left but looking down the blue trail that went left we did not see any orange blazes. If we had stopped to study the map we would have either fought through and found a hidden orange trail or at least have taken the blue trail. Instead we did not feel like stopping and just followed the orange and blue trail down to the Right and it did steeply descend as described in the instructions and it did eventually meet up with a brook as described but it also took us a bit out of the way. At the Brook with no white blazes anywhere to be found we saw the beginning of the yellow trail so we took this (long) trail along the brook and got back on track. All in all it took us 5 hours - this includes stopping for a 20 min lunch, stopping to look at lake, backtracking, searching for white trail, and stopping to enjoy views - however we walked quickly the whole way. Next hike I am plotting it out on the map beforehand so I don't make it longer than it is I had only brought a soda can with me and I drank it at RBH summit so staring at the cool water brook on the long way home I was getting thirsty lol - We will be back for sure when we have time to try another one - thanks!
Nice scenery
On September 29th, 2012 Gordy22 says:
The trail was not bad, the scenery was beautiful, but the trail has a good amount of broken glass, garbage, and is absolutely flooded with people. I enjoy meeting people on the trail, but there were groups of 5-10 at every single resting spot. We were not able to walk for more than 5 minutes before running into another group. I do think there was some type of -- convention or meeting when we went. Most of them were very inexperienced, were constantly screaming back down the trail at each other, and talking extremely loud. I enjoy hiking because of the peace and quiet and you will definitely not find it on this trail.
really good time
On September 3rd, 2012 willythekid says:
I just did this hike this weekend and it was a blast. very challenging but well worth it. must be in shape to do. directions were great, got a little confused at the bottom of the second steep descent, got to an intersection of orange and yellow. thankfully we picked yellow and folled back to red and white with the stony brook to our right. thankfully we ended up back in the parking lot just at dark. everyone was friendly as can be too. took 5.5 hours but we took long breaks and really enjoyed the entire day.
Beautiful hike
On April 29th, 2012 adeel says:
Did this hike two weeks ago. Excellent directions and it took a group of 11 exactly 4.5 hours to do with breaks.

Many people like crystal because of its beauty and reflectiveness. Because it has lead oxide in it, crystal is more dense and heavier than regular glass. Although it is still breakable and cannot handle extreme changes in temperature, crystal is a bit stronger than plain glass because of the added lead.
Crystal does require special care and maintenance because it is different from glass. One issue that you might encounter with crystal is that it can develop stains from hard water over time. These cloudy spots on the crystal can very troublesome to remove, and if you have very hard water in your home the spots can just keep coming back. Dish soap alone is unlikely to prevent or clean hard water spots, so extra measures will be needed.
To keep your crystal as clear and beautiful as possible, you will need to clean them regularly with the right soap, prevent scratching, and above all remove the cloudy hard water spots. To do this, follow these steps for hard water spot removal:
Crystal is a beautiful material and must be cared for correctly. With proper cleaning and care, it can be enjoyed for years to come.

A BI-PARTISAN APPEAL: To both Republicans and Democrats.
When a company falls on difficult times, one of the things that seems to happen is they reduce their staff and workers. The remaining workers must find ways to continue to do a good job or risk that their job would be eliminated as well.
Wall street and the media normally congratulate the CEO for making this type of "tough decision", and the board of directors gives upper corporate management big bonuses
Our government should not be immune from similar risks.
Therefore: Reduce the House of Representatives from the current 435 members to 218 members.
Reduce Senate members from 100 to 50(one per State). Then, reduce their remaining staff by 25%.
Accomplish this over the next 8 years (two steps/two elections) this of course would require some redistricting.
Some Yearly Monetary Gains Include:
$44,108,400 for elimination of base pay for congress. (267 members X $165,200 pay/member/ yr.)
$437,100,000 for elimination of their staff. (Estimate $1.3 Million in staff per each member of the House, and $3 Million in staff per each member of the Senate every year) $108,350,000 for the reduction in remaining staff by 25%.
$7,500,000,000reduction in pork barrel earmarks each year. (Those members whose jobs are gone. Current estimates for total government pork earmarks are at $15 Billion/yr).
The remaining representatives would need to work smarter andimproveefficiencies.It might even be in their best interests to work together for the good of our country!
We may also expect that smaller committees might lead to a more efficient resolution of issues as well.It might even be easier to keep track of what your representative is doing.
Congress has more tools available to do their jobs than it had back in 1911 when the current number of representatives was established. (Telephone, computers, cell phones to name a few)
Note: Congress does not hesitate to head home for extended weekends, holid

Will New Hollywood Movie Come Here?
Another star-studded Hollywood film could film here this summer, said Dave Fantle, vice president of public relations for Visit Milwaukee and board president of Film Wisconsin.
The film, which he would not identify and for which no deal has been signed, is "every bit as big as 'Public Enemies' Probably bigger," said Fantle.
But since Wisconsin has curtailed the tax advantages that brought the film starring Johnny Depp to the state in 2008 the majority of shooting "will be in neighboring states that have incentives," said Fantle. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

This review is from: Rosewill RIKA-13001 Natural Rubber Keyboard Wrist Rest
Pros: Bought it for I think 8$ and I don't regret it. It does smell like rubber for sure but not a big deal at all. Little more firm then I expected.
Cons: It does smell a little funky but it is fading over time. I kinda like the rubber smell just because it makes it all feel new!
Other Thoughts: I bought this to go along with my new Rosewill Helios keyboard and it is a little long for the keyboard. It has like 1.5 inches on the left side of the keyboard.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: XTRAC PADS Ripper XXL Mouse Pad
Pros: Its BIG! Has a great surface to it. Works wonders with my Razer Naga Epic. Makes your desk look Bada**
Cons: It does have a weird smell to it
Other Thoughts: The other people who say it smells absolutely terrible and right the review based on the smell of it are stupid. It really doesn't smell that bad and the more you use it the faster the smell will go away. Don't give a product a 1/5 eggs for the smell of it people!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Rosewill Helios RK-9200RE - Dual LED Illuminated Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Red Switches
Pros: This keyboard... All I can say is that I wish me and my friends didn't use Skype or Google hangouts just so I could have a reason to type more on this keyboard. I am typing this on it and I am loving this. I am never ever going back to a membrane keyboard this just feels right.
Cons: I am colorblind and seeing the red and green as different colors sometimes can be tricky.
Other Thoughts: Wonderful keyboard I recommend it to everyone the leds are awesome and the keys just feel amazing. So smooth!READ FULL REVIEW

One tough chick
I spent Saturday afternoon at a football game.
I know Saturday is college football day, and I know that it was homecoming at my alma mater and DePauw also had a game right here in town. But it wasn't a college game.
It was a 5th and 6th grade game between the Warren County Patriots and the South Vermillion Steelers. Although I would sooner cut off my left hand than cheer for the Patriots to beat the Steelers in the NFL, I was firmly behind the Patriots on this one.
I had to. My niece plays offensive and defensive line for the Patriots
That's right, I said niece.
There was a time I would have been dead set against a girl playing football, but your opinion on such things cools when you have a family member involved.
Why shouldn't a girl play? If she enjoys herself, it's all that really matters. Having fun is the point of the boys playing, so it's also the point when a girl plays.
It has also inspired several versions of the following conversation for her parents and grandparents at recent games:
Do you have a grandson playing?
No, my granddaughter.
Oh, she's a cheerleader?
No ... she's playing football.
Oh ... (awkward silence)
Awkward silences can be a lot of fun if you're on the correct side of them.
It also makes me happy that her head coach was one of my first ever football coaches way back in sixth grade. I know she's in good hands.
So, all I really need to say is, "Go, Kayce! Keep bringing the pain."

We had a great time this past weekend at the Victorian Ladies Inn! The breakfast was more delicious than most of the meals we had the whole weekend, the staff was welcoming and attentive, and the price was the best value you can get in Newport.

We stay here over a weekend in September, when a friend of mine was getting married. Because of the boat show, All of the downtown hotels are booked up in the very expensive. We found this quaint local inn A true Newport experience. The lovely accommodations and delicious breakfast made us feel like we got a different taste of this timeless town. It was walking distance from the downtown area, about 15 minutes at a leisurely pace. We enjoyed taking over most of the time to get around and avoid parking.

My husband and I went to the Victorian Ladies Inn for a quick overnight getaway. What a beautiful, peaceful place! I loved the Louise room we stayed in! Everything was so wonderful we really wanted to move in for the rest of the summer!
4.2 on July 31, 2016
A charming B&B with excellent service. Cindy and her lovely staff provided a warm welcome (Sammy the dog, too!!) and made suggestions on what I should see. It's conveniently located close the cliffwalk and is a nice walk down to the water (about 20 min). Parking is also available, which is nice. The breakfast buffet is abundant -- more than what I had expected. I was on the second floor of main house. The room was comfortable and clean but there is some noise from the street if you go to bed early. All in all, a terrific experience.

Sweetwater Dank Tank Johnny Hash
RATINGS: 57 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.75/5 SEASONAL: Special IBU: 99 EST. CALORIES: 255 ABV: 8.5%
We broke the cell wide open thats been holding this hop hash locked up since the last time a Hooter girl passed the bar. We are walking the line with this Double IPA! Not just another boy named Sue, this renegade would get us thrown into Folsom prison with the amount of Citra "hop hash" we scraped from the inside of the Yakima pelletizers and fisted into this beer. This super concentrated hash is pure hop lupulin (ya know-the hop kief-the good stuff!) and will play a resinous riff with the pilsner, 2 row and wheat malt used to back up the man in black! With Amarillo on the drums setting the bitterness beat, Citra hash takes the mic in the whirlpool, packing a sticky aromatic punch with potent lyrics creating a heavy hop forward set worthy of a July Carter finger dip. For the encore we invited Mt. Hood and Simcoe on stage for a dry hop jam session, bringing down the house in a ring of fire!

text: We purchased a 1910 Craftsman/Victorian hybrid with the original intention of renovating it. However, after one trip to Lowes, where a special order chandelier in a very modern design was left on a clearance bin, we've been researching and loving very modern designs. Now we've come up with the idea of stripping the house down and redesiging in a very modernist style. The house is fairly original, windows, doors, knobs, built ins, floors, etc. Is there a market to sell this stuff? Does anyone want old, solid wood doors, leaded glass windows, etc? In other words, is there a reason to do the demo carefully and save as much as we can? Is ebay the best place to sell this stuff, or is there a better marketing tool?

With Carmelo Anthony's eventual departure looming over the entire season, Nuggets fans have had nothing but time to point their fingers in dismay. Exactly where did we go wrong with Carmelo and whose fault is it? Despite a payroll annually among the most expensive in the league, many are placing the blame on Stan Kroenke's plan for a new era of far less extravagant spending. While there is some merit to the idea that Stan's influence could have planted the seeds of doubt in Melo's mind, to charge Stan's frugality as the grave injustice that's ran poor Melo out of town is little more than crying over spilt milk.
For those who want to play the blame game, there's plenty of time and ammunition to throw at everyone. I've long held the notion that it's nobody's fault Carmelo's tenure in Denver has ended, and I'd wish no ill will towards him so long as his departure was not as self-serving and extravagant as Lebron's. If we look at the facts of Stan's management and his spending, is there truth to the idea that saving money has taken precedent over winning basketball in Denver? I leave it up to you to look at the facts and make that assumption, but I'd argue it's nothing but endless dwelling on past mistakes that just may not have been easily predicted and avoided.
In my mind, Stan Kroenke already bears the scars of poor and short-sighted ownership decisions with regard to the Nuggets. How does Stan look right now with the fifth highest payroll in the league and a pretending roster clinging to playoff mediocrity? These were not the expectations for this team, and they certainly didn't want to be known as a swirling rumor mill instead of a basketball team. Yet this is the reality we all are living in. If I wanted to, I could wax poetic all day about how Kroenke should have realized the time to spend was last year and 2009 when his team was a true contender. Instead we've broken the bank on the Al Harrington's and Allen Iverson's of the world while real opportunities passed us by. With the benefit of hindsight, feel free to blame Kroenke all you want for this. In some ways, it's deserved although I'd challenge those who think they could have so easily predicted this at the time.
I find the time and energy spent dwelling on this could be better spent thinking about the present and things we can control. Yet with Melo's exit now imminent we can't escape the sad sobbing blame game everyone wants to focus on instead of acceptance and moving ahead.
If you really want to blame something for all this, look no further than Kenyon Martin. It's not his fault he took such a lavish and gigantic contract offer despite injury taking him out for a significant portion of it. Yet somehow its Kroenke's fault that despite living up to his commitment to honor that contract, he didn't continue spending lavishly enough on top of it. Perhaps Kenyon Martin should have been traded for Andris Biedrins you say? Nevermind the fact that during the time Mark Warkentein allegedly tried to trade with the Warriors, Denver was keeping a secret that Martin needed yet another surgery and could miss a significant portion of his final year (which was uninsured for knee injury).
Due to a combination of bad luck, bad timing, and simply a terribly bad contract Kenyon Martin has never been tradeable in his Nuggets career. If healthy, a Kenyon Martin with less wear and tear on his body could have been a fantastic player for Denver. The Nuggets probably should have had the foresight to realize that such a long maximum contract for his injury history was a risk too big to take. At the time however, it showed incredible commitment by a new owner to a fanbase that had suffered terrible teams for too long. Despite Kiki Vandeweghe's recklessness in pursuing Kenyon, his arrival sparked a new era of relevance and seven straight playoff appearances.
Kenyon showed glimpses of what he could do while healthy, but only played 63% of possible games with Denver. For a cornerstone with a max contract, he was out nearly half of the time with injuries and only averaged 11.4 points and 7.3 rebounds in his Nuggets career. If you are blaming Kroenke for not cashing out on Martin and trading him, you're living a fantasy. He has not been tradeable and no amount of good or bad management could have changed that. Kenyon Martin the person is a success story who worked hard for every cent he's earned. Kenyon Martin the contract is a bad decision coupled with bad luck that's crippled this team in its best years of competing.
Fans living in the past who think Kroenke's cheapness robbed them of trading Kenyon for an Andris Biedrins or Al Jefferson are delusional. Biedrins is a poor man's Nene that never happened – an inept offensive player filling the role of a tall, overpaid "defensive presence" on a team that can't play defense. Al Jefferson is a legit starting Center, but an awful defender as evidenced by the Jazz becoming so poor defensively that despite adding a player of his caliber, Utah finds its franchise fumbling and nearly as messed up as Denver's. Biedrins however is and was a total joke as a guy who might have made Denver a contender.
One of my favorite Nuggets bloggers, Andrew Feinstein of Denver Stiffs, made a case for a feasible trade that could have swung the Nuggets' championship window wide open for years. That is a trade with the Hornets last summer involving Emeka Okafor, which was a larger deal that might have involved Kenyon but at the cost of adding a ton of future payroll in exchange. Okafor is the kind of athletic, defensive minded Center that Denver has long been searching for. Is it fair to blame Kroenke for failing to add a high priced Okafor or Tyson Chandler to an already bloated payroll? Considering the difficulties in trading a maxed Kenyon Martin who's had more knee surgeries than you can count on one hand, I don't think it's realistic or feasible to get too upset about it. Though in hindsight it really would have been great.
If you're not catching my drift yet, Hindsight is always 20/20. Maybe the Nuggets should have spent anyways even though they foolishly overpaid Kenyon. Done something that could have shown Melo that Denver is going to pay when it means winning basketball. As much as fans don't want to hear it, that move was Al Harrington. While desperate fans lauded it at the time, more cautious and skeptical fans like my colleague Jeremy predicted that no move was the right one to make versus signing Al Harrington. Again, blame Kroenke for this one all you want. The truth is, many supported the move when it happened and couldn't come up with a better solution as Denver's free agent options were limited after striking out on luminaries such as Udonis Haslem and Jermaine O'neal. Both Udonis and Jermaine signed with other teams and are out indefinitely with injuries.
For me, the idea that poor Melo loves the Nuggets and has been cruelly pushed away by a tyrannical penny-pinching owner is nothing but a convenient excuse for those who can't come to grips with reality. The Nuggets made some mistakes building their roster, some they were not able to fix and some that were simply a result of bad luck, bad timing, or Cancer. Should we cry about them regardless? No, it's time to own up to them and move on.
Forget the blame game. Melo has played ringmaster in his own circus of free agency to perfection, and those who absolve him of all blame because of Kroenke are overlooking facts and evidence to the contrary. Melo is represented by CAA and got a glimpse of what they can deliver during Lebron's "Decision" in the summer of 2010. Since finagling his way out of Denver, Carmelo has seen his media presence and popularity skyrocket. He's seized full control of his free agency a whole two years before his contract is officially set to expire.
If this season has taught me anything about Carmelo, it's that he is a great player but not a team guy. Regardless of his reasons for it, Melo has shown he can't commit himself to a winning team now because of concern they won't spend enough to win in the future. Under normal circumstances that's fine, he could give his all to his coaches and teammates then simply sign a max deal wherever he wants in free agency. Because of the CBA, he needs to get out now or he risks too much for himself to give Denver the last honest year they are paying for.
Adrian Wojnarowksi has quoted a source saying "Melo hasn't checked [of Denver] only because he never checked in." Call it bad luck or a perfect storm of circumstance that landed a drastically new CBA coming up in a year Melo had unfortunately guaranteed to the Nuggets. To quote Melo himself, "Time is ticking man and time is money." That's not another playoff push and a championship calling Melo's name. It's a big money contract he can only get with Denver, but somewhere else.
Fans that want to make Kroenke or Melo the villain in this do so out of anger and disdain for an uncertain future. Melo can say whatever he wants about Denver's supposed cheap plan for failure in the future. What are the chances that if Melo signed an extension, the Nuggets might feel better about extending Arron Afflalo or Nene? I don't know because it's just speculation – the same kind of speculation that leads to this tragic comedy that Stan Kroenke brought this upon himself.
I, for one, am happy to see Denver weary of making the same mistakes and in a position to take advantage of a CBA that is fairer to mid and small market teams. I'm grateful that Denver has not made a desperate, Cleveland-like effort to convince a coddled star into staying by taking on a Jamison or an Andris Biedrins. I don't equate that spending as much money as you can now means you want to win tomorrow and the act itself justifies whatever consequences it may have.
I wish things would have been different for Denver, and they had been smarter and luckier to build a championship team around Melo. The thing is I'm willing to let go of those frustrations to live in the present with acceptance that Melo wants out of here regardless, and he's been on a crash course to be gone all year.
Denver fans have had it better than they think. Could Kroenke have afforded a few millions more in losses to satisfy Melo's appetite as well as the fans? Sure, but none of that guarantees you are going to win. Stan Kroenke hasn't done everything right, but he's spent money on winning teams here, more than you can say for many franchises. But when you spend foolishly, you only end up paying for it in despair down the line.
Melo will be gone soon. Win or lose, the players who will wear Denver across their chests will all have reason to play for something besides themselves. They will be a team – in a realer sense than this years Melodrama sideshow ever was. You can wallow in regret or embrace the reality that this team wasn't going anywhere from the start. Forget the blame game, the Nuggets were always facing a very tall mountain to climb either way.

Lord of the Universe, and King of Heaven. As with nearly all Aryan Gods of Sovereignty, He is a sky-lord, and his chief instrument of power is the thunderbolt.

Differences in personality are subtle, but real; Jupiter has more of the Roman character trait of Gravitas (dignity, stolid propriety) than Zeus, while Zeus is rather a bit more tempermental and spontaneous than Jupiter.

My mom organizes stuff…A few days later organizes it again someplace else. Repeat. Repeat….
I'm working on organizing my house and my closet will be soon. Can't wait to stare at it with satisfaction!
Hello nutty Cathy family!! It's Friday! I hope you all have a warm and safe day!
I'm so glad we can finally enlarge this strip. Today's not bad but there have been many days I had to skp reading it because it was all too small for my eyes
Wow. Progress! It enlarges so I can see it. Happy Weekend all. Hope you stay warm too lightenup.
At least it's not an organized fridge that she's sitting staring into. In "Blondie" this week, Dagwood had to buy a new fridge light because of the hours he stands staring into the open fridge. The salesman had never before had anyone ask to buy one.
I felt that same kind of satisfaction last summer when I finally got my office organized for the first time in I don't know how many years! While I don't sit at my desk and stare at everything as though I were in a trance, I DO still mentally pat myself on the back for a job well done whenever I'm in there and I see how clean and organized I've still managed to keep it . . . and that makes me feel very happy indeed!!!!! :-)
Hi, rgcviper!
kittcatpaware: Glad to be of help to you! Normally Aaron or Dr. Billy would have beat me to the punch with the answer to you question but since they're not here these days for whatever reason, I was happy to be able to assist you in their place this time instead.
Hello and Happy Friday to all my "Cathy" clan friends. Hope everyone has a really nice weekend!!!!!
"AH! Perfection at last!"
Much less for a customer to ask for a whole box of refrigerator bulbs.
Like mother, like daughter. (In terms of craziness, at least.)
HI, MOM. Happy Friday, Clan.
Hi Cathyites!! Yes, spending some "quality time" together. I've given up on getting organized.

IT security leaders set for key roles
Security is becoming more central to the business, and security managers should recognise this change
This Article Covers
Risk management
IT security managers had better get ready to ditch their peripheral, advisory role and get used to being the organisation's key digital security player.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.

According to Paul Dorey, vice-president for digital security at BP, the dependence of business processes on IT and the digitisation of almost every physical component and process is now placing digital security at the core of business integrity.
Dorey predicted that by 2010, an increasing number of IT security professionals would be legally accountable for the statements they make about the digital security of their organisations.
Such accountability is already reflected in other professions, Dorey said, such as the engineer who specifies the strength of steel for a bridge, or a surgeon who knows when to operate.
He suggested that rather than using consultants, the IT security professional will become more trusted as a corporate decision maker. It would mean chief information security officers would have to face up to tough issues, such as how the security capability can be deployed outside the company as well as inside, and how best to deal with regulators.
Given the importance of digital security, whoever makes those decisions should also expect the appropriate status – and recompense – within the organisation to match that responsibility and accountability.
