Set in San Luis Obispo County just off of Highway 1, Hearst Castle stands as an architectural gem among the coastal hills. This national and California state landmark is known for both its refined beauty and idyllic location. You'll find it a little over 5 miles north-east of the village of San Simeon, and conveniently, it's about a 4-hour scenic drive from either San Francisco or Los Angeles.
William Randolph Hearst was a publisher who founded the nation's leading newspaper chain. With his wealth, he set out to build a true American castle upon a 250,000 acre estate that was originally purchased by one of his ancestors in 1856. The ornate mansion's design and construction began in 1919, with architect Julia Morgan leading the project. It continued for another 28 years, finally ending in 1947.
Despite continuously being built upon and improved, it only took a few years for the main buildings of Hearst Castle to be ready for entertaining society's elite. Stars like Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, and Clark Gable, as well as leaders such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, all flocked to the estate for lavish dinners and days of respite. With a theater, private zoo, lush gardens, and art sculptures throughout the property, a stay at Hearst Castle was more luxe than at the state's finest resorts. When the castle's construction was complete, it had a total of 165 rooms and 127 acres of pristinely manicured landscapes.
Now, guests can tour its grand halls and take in all the sights of the 20th century's golden age. Tickets can be reserved in advance online, and start at $25 per adult, $12 per child. Children under 5 are welcomed free of charge. Tickets can also be purchased at the visitor's center, which is located at the bottom of the hill. A complimentary bus takes visitors up to the castle grounds, where they can then begin one of many specialized tours.
One can visit the castle's "Grand Rooms", where Hearst entertained his many celebrity guests. These rooms are some of the most impressive. Tours of the upstairs suites, as well as the cottages & kitchen provide guests with a more intimate view of the personal spaces where Hearst and his closest family and friends spent their time. If looking out upon the ranchlands, guests are sure to spot the descendants of the former zoo inhabitants: zebras, Barbary sheep, and Sambar deer.
Before or after exploring the mansion, guests can watch a historical documentary of the castle's construction at the theater in the visitor's center, and even dine at one of the property's multiple establishments. A gift shop also sells many souvenirs. Also make time to visit the nearby William R. Hearst Memorial State Beach and other San Simeon area beaches.
If you're taking a road trip on Highway 1 and passing through San Luis Obispo county, don't miss this site of American history. Hearst Castle is open year round from 9:00 am to midnight, with the exception of major holidays (Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day).

The opening 18 holes at Augusta National on Thursday showed us many things -- and many numbers (including 7s and 8s.) What did we learn?
For starters, Phil Mickelson was able to convene a search party on the 10th hole and Henrik Stenson saw a stellar round go down the tubes at No. 18. And what about Tiger Woods' even-par 72 in Round 1?
Our experts analyze all that and more in our latest edition of Masters Four-Ball.
1. What does Tiger Woods have to do to get to the first page on the leaderboard after 36 holes?
Farrell Evans, ESPN.com senior golf writer: Tiger has to drive the ball better. Period. That's a start.
Bob Harig, ESPN.com senior golf writer: Get his mental swing demons sorted out. Woods admitted he reverted to old swing thoughts on Thursday. That's a killer. And it has been something we have seen rarely this year. Woods has been hitting the ball well for months. He needs to return to that.
Kevin Maguire, ESPN.com senior golf editor: Straighten out his tee shots. Woods hit only six fairways in Round 1 and still managed to hit 12 greens. But when you're out of position at Augusta, you can put yourself in some precarious places on those greens. If Tiger's going to be near the 36-hole lead on Friday night, he needs to find the short stuff more often.
Gene Wojciechowski, ESPN.com senior national columnist: Remember how to drive the ball. He had a fistfight with his swing Thursday, beginning at the practice range in the morning.
2. After Phil Mickelson's 74, how realistic are his chances of a fourth green jacket?
Farrell Evans: Phil can go out and shoot 60 on Friday. He knows the course that well.
Bob Harig: He's got a lot of ground to make up, but Lefty seemed confident he could do it, pumped by a late push to save his first round. A birdie at the 18th helped, and Mickelson suggested he'll be swinging hard and going after birdies on Friday morning.
Kevin Maguire: Let's say 50-50 at this point. Lefty tried to play it up like he was oh-so-close to being a couple of shots out of the lead with a good round Friday, but we've heard that before. I'm not saying there's zero chance, but it'll be a long, uphill climb if he wants to add another green jacket to his wardrobe.
Gene Wojciechowski: Extremely realistic. To quote Lefty, he's one good round from being in contention.
3. Bigger surprise: 52-year-old Fred Couples (T-10) or 20-year-old Patrick Cantlay (T-15)?
Farrell Evans: I'm not really surprised by either showing. However, I will be very surprised if they can play well enough over the next three days to stay in these positions.
Bob Harig: Cantlay. Couples can get around this place in his sleep, but Cantlay -- although polished and quite capable -- is still playing the Masters for the first time. Nerves can get the best of you in such a situation. He handled it quite nicely.
Kevin Maguire: Gotta go with Cantlay here. At least Couples, being a former Masters champion, has a long track record at Augusta National. Cantlay's a 20-year-old UCLA sophomore who's making the Masters look like his spring break. Granted, he was low amateur at last year's U.S. Open, so it's not a total stunner.
Gene Wojciechowski: Neither. Couples was one of my top-10 picks. And Cantlay is unflappable as an amateur.
4. Wildest thing you saw in Round 1 of the Masters?
Farrell Evans: Henrik Stenson got it to 6 under par and gave most of it back with a snowman at 18. Two eagles. I mean, who shoots 1 under with two eagles?
Bob Harig: More than 100 people looking for Phil's ball on the 10th hole. You'd think someone, anyone, would have seen it or heard it or stepped on it ... anything. Yet nobody could find it, and Phil had to play his provisional, leading to a triple-bogey 7. Mickelson said he believes it was the first time he had ever lost a ball at Augusta National.
Kevin Maguire: Bubba Watson's second shot on No. 11. First of all, he hit it off the pine straw, which is no small feat. Second, thanks to the trees in his way, he had to have the guts to aim his shot out over the pond and play a big old draw for the lefty. And he did exactly that, making it look like he stuck a nice drive down the middle and then a safe approach shot to the green. Neither of which was true, but it was simply amazing what Watson pulled off.
Gene Wojciechowski: An 8 by Henrik Stenson. Without a penalty stroke, lost ball, etc.

Pacific Sky, a P&O ship operating out of Australia and New Zealand that previously was Princess Cruises' Sky Princess, was forced to return to Auckland when it was discovered the ship had taken on 160 tons of water. The cruise to Tonga was abruptly canceled, as was the ship¹s next voyage, which was scheduled to depart this weekend. Authorities there said that the 46,000-ton 1,550 passenger ship, which was launched in 1984, showed significant rust in a water-escape duct. Damage, according to a New Zealand newspaper, was "so severe the bulkheads (internal walls) had parted from the hull on both sides of the ship. The hull plating had also corroded and there were reports that daylight could be seen through the hull." A London-based spokesman for P&O did not respond to a request for comment.


text: Politics & Issues Political news Robin Carnahan gets personal, comparing the current and "old" Roy Blunt By Jo Mannies • Jul 28, 2010 Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan renewed her attacks today on her best-known Republican rival for the U.S. Senate -- U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt -- by touting him as part of the "culture of corruption in Washington" that she says is hurting average Missourians and small businesses. Her backdrop was Lubeley's Bakery in Marlborough, where dozens of South County Democrats munched on cookies while Carnahan attempted to crumble Blunt's character. Primary is key in many Missouri Senate districts By Jo Mannies • Jul 28, 2010 The people may change, but not the political parties. For the most part, that's the backdrop for this year's Missouri Senate contests. Statewide, half of the Senate's 34 seats are on this year's ballots. But most of those seats have largely become locks for one party or the other. As a result, there's little chance this year that Missouri Democrats will make much of a dent in their minority status, or that the GOP will add much to its already considerable majority. Prop C supporters predict victory, blast hospital group for its opposition By Jo Mannies • Jul 28, 2010 State Sen. Jane Cunningham credited a higher power Wednesday with helping to build the apparent strong public support for Proposition C, the ballot proposal to seeks to exempt Missouri from the health care mandates contained in the new health care law. "I do believe that God interferes in the affairs of men," said Cunningham, R-Chesterfield, during a fundraising rally Wednesday night in St. Charles aimed at promoting the measure's passage in next Tuesday's statewide election. Commentary: Racing to judgments on race By M.W. Guzy • Jul 28, 2010 In American politics, as in society at large, the issue of race is often likened to the proverbial 800-pound gorilla lurking in the corner. That metaphor is misleading. Race is better understood as the irritable 8,000-pound bull snorting in the middle of the living room that everybody tiptoes around, hoping not to provoke the beast. Days takes a side in 14th District -- backs Chappelle-Nadal By Jo Mannies • Jul 28, 2010 State Sen. Rita Days, D-Bel Nor, is no longer neutral in the 14th District contest to select her successor. Days said today that she has endorsed state Rep. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City. Chappelle-Nadal is competing against three other well-known Democrats: state Reps. Don Calloway of Bel Nor, Ted Hoskins of Berkeley and former University City Mayor Joe Adams. Days cannot seek re-election because of term limits. Labor peace and Chuck's guitar among the enticements during DNC visit By Jo Mannies • Jul 27, 2010 Bob Soutier, head of the Greater St. Louis Labor Council, says the region's roughly 50 unions are signing "a solidarity agreement" that will promote their support and cooperation for the city of St. Louis' bid to host the site for the 2012 Democratic presidential convention. With Prop C, Missouri voters will be first in nation to weigh in on health-care reform By Robert Joiner • Jul 27, 2010 The federal health-reform train began rolling across America this summer, dropping off benefits at every stop along the way, offering coverage to children with pre-existing conditions, giving added protection to young people about to be removed from their parents' health plans, and setting up temporary high-risk pools for some unable to buy affordable insurance. Russ Carnahan sells 'Royal Nuisance,' but boat continues to be a political pain By Jo Mannies • Jul 27, 2010 The "Attractive Nuisance'' may be gone, but the controversy continues surrounding the non-working cabin cruiser by that name that had been co-owned by U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan, D-St. Louis. Carnahan aides confirmed this afternoon that Carnahan and three other co-owners -- Aldermanic President Lewis Reed and the two politicians' wives -- succeeded in selling the boat last month. It had been on the block for two years, aides say. It also has been non-working for most of that time, said campaign spokeswoman Angela Barranco Kinder visits El-Amin in prison, reports former legislator has gained weight By Jo Mannies • Jul 26, 2010 Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder reports, via Twitter, that he visited former state Rep. T.D. El Amin, D-St. Louis, today in prison in Alabama. El-Amin is serving time on a bribery-related charge, in a federal prison on the grounds of Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala. A spokesman for Kinder, a Republican, said he was in the vicinity because Kinder is attending the National Lieutenant Governors' Association summer meeting this week in Biloxi, Miss. Only a quarter of Missouri voters expected to cast ballots next Tuesday By Jo Mannies • Jul 26, 2010 Based on projections from local elections officials, Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan is estimating that less than a quarter -- 24 percent -- of Missouri's registered voters will turn out next Tuesday. In the St. Louis area, the turnout predictions ranged from only 19.26 percent in St. Louis to 25.41 percent in St. Louis County and 27.78 percent in St. Charles County. Even Jefferson County, which has a spirited Democratic primary for county executive, is projecting less than 20 percent of its voters will cast ballots. Readers share views on Prop C By Linda Lockhart • Jul 26, 2010 Proposition C, which is on Missouri's Aug. 3 primary ballot, asks voters whether Missouri should be able to opt out of federal health-care reform, specifically the mandate for individuals to buy health insurance. The Beacon, through our Public Insight Network, asked readers how they are likely to vote on this measure. Here are excerpts from some of their responses. (Read the Beacon's companion article: With Prop C, Missouri voters will be first in nation to weigh in on health-care reform.) Schweich, Corrigan lead final frenzy of campaign spending for primaries By Jo Mannies • Jul 25, 2010 In the final weeks before an election, candidates no longer raise much money. They spend it. That's certainly true this month, right before the Aug. 3 election. The biggest spender in July appears to be Republican Tom Schweich, who's competing against state Rep. Allen Icet for their party's nomination for state auditor. Blunt headlines feisty, fiery speakers at city GOP picnic By Jo Mannies • Jul 25, 2010 Happy over his continued edge in the polls, U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt celebrated Sunday with St. Louis Republicans in what he declared was his 560th campaign event in Missouri since launching his bid for the U.S. Senate. Blunt, R-Springfield, highlighted some of his key themes as he energized city Republicans at their annual picnic at Carondelet Park by taking on national Democrats and his expected target this fall, Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan. Pro-Prop C group launches statewide radio campaign for final week before vote By Jo Mannies • Jul 25, 2010 Missourians for Health Care Freedom, the chief campaign group for Proposition C, launched a statewide radio ad campaign today that will continue until the statewide vote Aug. 3. The initial ad buy totals $25,000 and will increase if more money comes in, said campaign manager Patrick Tuohey. The ads began airing in west Missouri and should be heard in the St. Louis area by Tuesday, he said. Commentary: Vote No on Proposition C By David Newburger • Jul 24, 2010 In 1789, the people of the United States of America proclaimed: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. With that, we the people formed the federal government to promote the general welfare of the people. Commentary: Vote Yes on Proposition C By Carl Bearden • Jul 24, 2010 On Aug. 3, all eyes in the nation will turn toward Missouri, as voters in the Show-Me State become the first anywhere to cast a ballot concerning the federal health-care plan foisted upon them. A "yes" vote on Proposition C -- the Health Care Freedom Act -- will tell the nation that Missourians have looked at this expensive, ill-conceived and unhealthy measure and rejected it. In GOP contest for state auditor, Icet and Schweich both tap into anti-Obama mood By Jo Mannies • Jul 24, 2010 Based on their ads and major campaign events, one might think that Republicans Tom Schweich and Allen Icet were running for a post in Washington instead of state auditor in Jefferson City. The two are vying on Aug. 3 for the GOP nomination for state auditor, and the right to challenge Democratic incumbent Susan Montee in November. But for the moment, she's not the focus of either potential rival. Nixon impressed with Missouri troops and equipment encountered during Afghanistan visit By Jo Mannies • Jul 22, 2010 Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon spent today in Afghanistan, where he says he was "inspired" and "incredibly impressed by the professionalism" he saw in the troops, especially Missouri's National Guard. "It's a very, very real war zone that we're in," Nixon said during a telephone conference call with Missouri reporters, conducted Friday night, Afghanistan time. Democratic stalwart in Jefferson County faces stiff challenge for county exec nomination By Jo Mannies • Jul 22, 2010 One of the region's most significant contests on the Aug. 3 ballot is also, according to some political insiders, one of the most ignored. Voters in Jefferson County will take the first step toward electing their first-ever county executive and a seven-member County Council. After the November elections, the county will formally do away with its old form of county-commission government and follow through with the dictates of the new charter the county voters approved in 2008. Chuck Berry and 'mystery guest' to regale public, DNC scouts at free concert By Jo Mannies • Jul 22, 2010 Rock and roll legend Chuck Berry should be duck-walking across Kiener Plaza later this month, while representatives of the Democratic National Committee are scouting around town to see if St. Louis is good enough to host a presidential convention in 2012, Local Democratic officials say that Berry and "a mystery guest'' will headline a free concert in the plaza on July 29, beginning at 8:30 p.m. Corrigan launching major TV ad campaign, despite lack of serious GOP opposition By Jo Mannies • Jul 22, 2010 Lawyer Bill Corrigan, a Republican candidate for St. Louis County executive, may be trying avoid an "Al Hanson'' moment. Beginning today, Corrigan is launching a $90,000-plus TV ad campaign for the Aug. 3 primary. Political operatives report that Corrigan -- who is hoping to oust St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley in November -- has purchased significant blocks of ad time on area cable outlets and broadcast stations. Corrigan's campaign declined comment Thursday but issued a statement this morning confirming the basics: Carnahan proposes three U.S. Senate debates -- featuring all nominees on November ballot By Jo Mannies • Jul 21, 2010 Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, the best-known Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, has just proposed three general-election debates for after the Aug. 3 primary. The catch is that Carnahan is calling for the debates to feature the nominees from not just the two major parties but also the Constitution and Libertarian parties, which have automatic ballot access in Missouri. (Any other parties have to collect a certain number of signatures to get their candidates on the November ballot in the state.) Clay endorses Page as part of last-minute flood before Aug. 3 By Jo Mannies • Jul 21, 2010 Less than two weeks before the Aug. 3 primary, it's time for the candidates to tout last-minute endorsements from various big-name politicians in hopes of swaying any still-undecided voters or, in the case of uncontested races, heighten ones profile for the fall. Today, U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., announced he has chosen sides in the combative Democratic primary in the 24th state Senate district, and is endorsing former state Rep. Sam Page, D-Creve Coeur. Commentary: Obama has an ace in the hole By M.W. Guzy • Jul 21, 2010 The off-year elections are looming and, fairly or not, they figure to be a referendum on the Obama administration. If the polls are even close to accurate, it looks as though the "Yes, We Can!" crowd could be in for a "That's What You Think" awakening. State Rep. Nieves uses radio show to discuss campaign, rivals question fairness By Jo Mannies • Jul 20, 2010 Brad Hildebrand's small AM radio station in Washington, Mo., is called "The Mouth." And the station is definitely making political waves with its morning voice: state Rep. Brian Nieves, R-Washington and a candidate in arguably the region's most competitive Republican primary for the state Senate.

Minerva Whatley
Hey Charline,
Job Springer has been my brick wall for a long time. We need DNA to see if we can connect him to someone. I have been told that he has been linked to one of the three Dennis' in the New Jersey area.
The problem with the bio that Rebel wrote about Michael Whatley's wife is that she, Hannah Rhodes, died 3 years before Miner was born. Miner's parents are a real trial!
Thanks for all your hard work. We just keep digging and hoping more new info will turn up.

Then, a few years ago, I discovered a book called Eat to Live by nutrition expert Joel Fuhrman, MD. Its become my bible, pushing me to completely reorient my thinking about what to put into my body. Its like Ive become a scientist. I never wouldve been able to complete a marathon without this newfound awareness.
Now when I think about weight loss, it definitely conjures up bad memories. But Im older now, and I wont starve myself. Eating the right way has become a sort of spiritual practice for me. And sticking to a healthy diet definitely gave me the strength I needed to do the rigorous training required for a marathonas well as the excruciating final stretch.

Lots of Americans on the Medicare program are learning that with the perfect Medicare Supplement Coverage they can:
Research a Medicare Supplemental Plan today and lock in your rates with the coverage you expect at the rate that works within your budget.
Preserve your physical well-being and safeguard your personal wealth with a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan
Like the many thousands of folks whom we have aided down through the years, you most likely noticed that trying to make the decision on the right Medigap Insurance Policy is aggravating to say the least. Furthermore, getting a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Carrier to coordinate with when sizing up quotes is maddening as well.
Good thing though, it doesn't have to be. Finding a Medigap Insurance Agency that can take the pain out comparison shopping is a cinch if you consider:
Obtain a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan through us and feel good about about both your more affordable costs and the comprehensive policies.
Moreover this is not everything our team is capable of. Have you ever attempted to register for an insurance plan like a Medigap Insurance? Thousands upon Thousands American citizens are lamentably declined coverage or gotten limited coverage on their policy that they were blind sided by only after they had paid the initial premium payment. Often there are stressful hassles involved in obtaining a refund or finding alternative suitable Medicare Supplement Policy or other plans.
Our customers will tell you, that things like this don't happen to them. The Medicare Supplemental Agents in-house are also expert "field underwriters.†we'll not only assist you in finding the lowest for Medicare Supplemental Rates, but we'll ensure that you'll meet the provider's requirements for the coverage first, then we'll get to the paperwork.. By answering a few quick questions about your health, you can instantly approved for Medigap Policies which will approve you immediately , without any problems or uneasiness about revoked coverage.
For each or our clients, we don't 3 a plan unless we know for sure you qualify for approval by the Medicare Supplement Insurance provider And, our Lowest Rate Guarantee ensures that you never ever pay anything for our services and are always paying the affordable available rate on the advocated insurance plan you qualify to receive.
Also, for your convenience, we have made deals with with all of our Medicare Supplemental Companies to let you sign up for their policies right over the phone in a matter of minutes. You will get the cheapest Medicare Supplemental Bills available, coverage for life and, if you pick a Medicare Supplemental Plan F, you will never ever write another check in the future for Medicare covered medical necessities like exams, therapy, x-rays, prescription medication, etc..
Why Choose a Medicare Supplement Plan F
Medigap is the official name given to healthcare policies called Medicare Supplemental Insurance. These Medigap Insurance Plans augment the gaps in standard protection that are not taken care of by Medicare Parts A & B.
Medigap Insurance is not an replacement for traditional Medicare like a Medicare Advantage Plan, but instead works together with traditional Medicare. Furthermore, Medigap Insurance Plans differ from Medicare Advantage because they have no co-pays, no deductibles, and no worries about being "in nework" that could interfere with you medical treatment.
If you choose the correct Medigap Medigap Policy for example, a Medicare Supplement Plan F you should never have a need to spend any more cash when you receive prescribed treatment in a specialty treatment center, physician's office or hospital that accepts Medicare.
When you decide on a Medicare Supplement Plan F, if your expenses for medical treatment are astronomical , you will won't ever have to pay any extra bills for expenses for medical treatment providing that Medicare green-lights your treatment.
Medicare Insurance Policies: How it all works
Whenever you require medical attention with a hospital, doctor, or specialty treatment center, just whip out your your Medicare Supplement card to the hospital, doctor, or specialty treatment center. Then everything will, almost magically, be taken care of for you.
Fact is,, once your claim is submitted with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare most of the time will convey your claim directly to your Medigap Company without you needing to do anything. After that, your Medigap Carrier processes the claim, often electronically and automically
With a easy comparison of Medigap Policies , you can see the one that's right for your health and finances and then everything will be taken care of for you. And again, if you decide upon a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan F from our company, you should never have a remaining health care bills to manage.
Our company staunchly believes that health care professionals should be allowed to prescribe what the absolute best medical treatment is for you while your Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plans ensures you are not burdened with health care expenses. Additionally, when select a Medicare Supplement Policies like a Medicare Supplemental Plan F it is YOURS FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. Unlike the restrictive Medicare Advantage Plans, as long as you constantly pay the premiums, the Medigap Insurance Provider can never, ever take your plan away from you… EVER!
Like all the of people over 65 that our company have helped over time, it has become apparent to you that trying reach the decision on the best Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans can be stressful to say the least. And, trying to get a Medicare Supplement Insurance Company that will help out as you examine Medicare Supplement Insurance Policies is usually no picnic also.
Fortunately, it doesn't have to be. Working with a a Medicare Supplement Policy Broker you can put your trust in is easy when you consider that:
What is more, you never pay for our services.
Medicare Supplement Rates: Why shop with us?
If you are on Medicare, you are as likely as not encountering hard decisions on enrolling the perfect Medicare Supplement Insurance Policy and you are as likely as not having the wool pulled over your eyes by Medicare Advantage salespeople.
Medicare Insurance Plan Companies are all required by federal law to offer the same coverage. Therefore it is very necessary to compare and contrast Medicare Supplement Policy Rates from top carriers through a partner you can trust.
Our company is not like others, because we work for you, not just one Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan Company. We thoroughly consider each of the Medigap Policy Companies selling Medigap Policies and only work with the good ones that have a long-standing reputation and also should honor their policies forever. Basically, our insurance industry analysts cuts out all the tiny Medicare Insurance Policy Companies and the undependable.
When our team has located the top Medicare Supplement Insurance Policy Providers that match our uncompromising terms and stipulations, we use our proprietary and state of the art software to formulate Medicare Supplement Insurance Quote online comparisons. By shopping around for you, our licensed agents obtain the very best for your particular situation based on your specific needs, not what the Medigap Plan Providers want to sell to you.
What's more that's not all our agents can do for you. Have you ever tried to enroll in an insurance policy like a Medicare Supplement Policy? Many seniors , are denied coverage or received restrictions on their policy that they didn't see coming only after they'd paid the first premium. Most often there will be terrible problems involved receiving your money back or finding new Medicare Supplement Rate or other plans.
It's our job to keep this from happening to you.
All the licensed Medicare Supplement Insurance Policy Agents in our company are also Medicare Supplement Insurance Policy field underwriters.†So that means our staff not only aid you in locating the lowest Medicare Supplement Plans, but we will also make sure you will pass underwriting for the plan before we go through the approval process. Simply by answering some quick questions respecting your current heath, you can be quickly qualified for a Medicare Insurance Plan that will accept you when you first submit it, with no problems or fears about of denied claims for lack of coverage.
We won't suggest a Medicare Supplemental Policy for you until we are certain you qualify to be approved by the Medicare Supplemental Policy provider. What is more, our Best Rate Guarantee insures that you won't ever receive a bill for our services and that you will always pay the cheapest available amount of money for the plan you are qualified for.
To make this easy, we made deals with all our Medicare Supplemental Insurance Policy Companies to be able to let you apply for a plan on your phone in a matter of minutes. You will get the most affordable Medicare Supplement available, coverage for life and, if you sign up for a Medicare Supplement Plan F, you will never ever pay a penny again for Medicare-eligible Medicare-covered.

At this weekends Kids Choice Awards on Nickelodeon, American Idol won for favorite reality show. David Archuleta and Paula Abdul were on hand to accept the award. Why is David Archuleta, the runner up from last season, accepting the award? Not Simon Fuller or, hell, even Simon Cowell? At least they had Paula Abdul there, but should she really be allowed to be that close to all those children? Luckily, David Archuleta didn't let her get one word in during the acceptance speech, although it was entertaining to watch her try. Obvisouly someone coached him, "Do not let Paula speak". The last thing Idol needs is her spouting off at the mouth at the Kids Choice Awards. But I did enjoy her plea, once the cameras had shifted off her, to "keep voting". Thanks Paula, with over 36 million votes cast last week, we will.
Check out the reaction and acceptance speech now, it's priceless.

About this project
With a round bottom, Wobble Bowls rock and spin but come right back up. Simple to set in motion, but surprisingly stable.
I designed, and began producing, the Wobble Bowls almost two years ago in my own small studio. I'm not a ceramicist--I'm a designer--but I've produced hundreds of them myself for sale at museum and design stores. Now, it's time to let someone else produce them, so I can get back to designing new products, market them (instead of just keeping up), offer larger quantities, and actually get out of the studio sometime.
And you can get one of the first production run of Wobble Bowls by supporting this project.
What's a Wobble?
Round-bottomed bowls, bright colors, three sizes, good for everything from your morning cereal to a big salad. The three sizes nest for storage (upside down, please), but why wouldn't you just leave them out since they look so nice?
Orange, blue, yellow; small, medium, large (~5, 7, 9" in diameter).
They're like toys that no one will make fun of you for.
Why Wobble
Wobble Bowls were designed to bring the memory and experience of play to your grown-up tabletop with vibrant toy-like colors and movement. With round bottoms, they easily rock and spin, but with their low center of gravity and turn inward, they remain surprisingly stable and right themselves when tipped over.
The Project
I've talked to the guys, gotten the quotes, run the numbers, and am ready to outsource my production--not to some far-away factory, but to a production studio in Portland, OR. I'll give them the designs for all three sizes--and they'll make an original master mold, rubber mother molds, and from those, multiple plaster production molds for each size. Then they'll produce the bowls individually, using traditional slip-casting techniques.
They'll fire, glaze, and ship them to Speechless in Oakland, and we'll get them out to you, retailers, shows, and whoever falls in love with one.
Where's the Money Go?
Quality materials and expert labor. Because I'm choosing to have these made in the US, I'm paying for production by skilled craftsmen (and ladies). But I think it's worth it to sustain craft in the US, and get products that I don't have to worry about the quality or materials of.
I'm paying for multiple molds (master, mother, production) in each size, slip (clay), glaze, firing costs, shipping, and packaging. The cost of the molds alone is approximately $4,000, and the minimum first run will cost another $6,000. Add in shipping and packaging, and it's over $10,000 in costs just to get into production.
But, once the molds have been made, I can continue producing as many bowls as I need to meet demand and turn a small profit. Getting past this point completely changes what I can offer and builds a sustainable small, independent design business that supports an ecosystem of other small businesses, from production to retail.
What About You?
I want to make it easier to find more joy in your everyday life. I want to give you something you'll love, something unexpected, something that will make you feel happiness when you do one of those everyday things you don't even think about.
You can get bowls in all three sizes and colors. You can also get a set of bowls (small, medium, and large), multiples to use as gifts or just to decorate en masse. I'll also send out gifts for you throughout the year, if maybe you don't want to have to worry about forgetting your mom's, sister's, best friend from summer camp's, or dog's birthday again this year.
You can also get various expressions of gratitude (which come with every contribution no matter what), or a surprise Speechless piece. If you're more into experiences or need a designer's eye, I can also take you on a tour of design stores in SF or NYC.
That's a lot of choices--there must be something in there you want (I mean, since you're still reading).
Thanks, you. You really are great.
and thanks to
Switch Thomas. The king of big lenses, hypoallergic kittens, explosions FX, and snuggles.
Jon Sung. Writer of Songs, Righter of Wrongs, single. That song belongs to him.
And the rest of you.
The small holds about 0.5 liters, the medium 2 liters, and the large 4 liters.
They're about 5, 7 and 9" in diameter.
The simplest thing to do is buy them directly from me at http://speechlessstudios.com--after. After the campaign is over and more bowls are available (and after everyone who pledged has gotten their rewards!), the site will offer them for sale.
I'll also post a list there of retailers where they're available in case you want to check them out in person.
Just message me directly, and I'll take care of you.
Yes, you can actually use them! With their low center of gravity and turn inward, they're pretty stable and stuff stays in. While it's generally best not to fill them quite to the top just to be safe, or to place something very heavy (like a really big serving spoon) against one side, which can throw off the balance, they're well-suited to be used as serving bowls, snack bowls, or for just throwing coins into at the end of the day.
They ideal as serving bowls--the small ones are perfect for nuts or candy, mediums are great for serving vegetables, and the larges are in constant use at our house for chips (and the occasional salad--gotta stay healthy).
The smalls also fit well in the hand, so I think they're perfect for a quick bowl of cereal that I hold while I eat.
They can also help you keep items at hand in the kitchen or office--throw your keys into a small one to stay organized, or keep garlic or fruit out on the counter.
They are ceramic, so they can break or chip, but they have thick walls and are made out of a medium-fire stoneware, so they're pretty sturdy.

This review is from: Logitech MX Revolution Black 7 Buttons 2 x Wheels RF Wireless Laser Mouse
Pros: This mouse has a good feel in the hand. It is slightly small for my hand, but that will vary from user to user. The buttons are very conveniently placed. I am NOT a gamer, so the comments regarding it lagging is not something I have noticed. This is a laser mouse, so you don't have the red led on the bottom. It works on virtually any hard surface.
Along there the base of your thumb rests is a line of lights telling you at a glance what the remaining battery life is. These lights are only illuminated when the mouse is moving. This is a very convenient feature to let you know when to put it on the charger. Charging is fairly rapid.
I like the "document flip" button is useful when you have several appliations running. A simple touch to this wheel opens a window with all your open applications listed for easy selection. This is similar to the ALT-TAB key combo.
All of the buttons and wheels can be customized.
Cons: None yet.
Other Thoughts: I was so impressed with the first one I purchased, that I bought a second one. My only concern is the wheel shifts from freewheeling to clicking. You can change this by clicking the wheel, or it automatically does it depending on the application with focus. The freewheeling is VERY nice, but I wonder how durable this will be. I have no reason to question it other than it is just one more thing to go wrong. I have used a very wide variety of mice, but these are my first wireless mice. So far, VERY happy!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: StarTech PCI1394B_3 3 Port PCI 1394b FireWire Adapter Card with Digital Video Editing Kit
Pros: Easy installation and works great.
Cons: When installing the 1394b drivers you get a warning that the drivers are not signed by Windows for XP. Installed on 32 bit OS. There do not appear to be any issues with functionality.
Other Thoughts: Not much to say. It works flawlessly!READ FULL REVIEW

I love severe weather and if Mr Bastardi is right we may have another severe winter...
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
I would have said dreaming before but we had a white christmas last year and it was actually pretty hellish so i'm not sure.

I think I would love a white christmas even just a little flurry....
I love a very stormy and wintery November and December
You bet I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. It would be bliss.
Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
I want it to snow every single day of the winter. But that is highly unlikely to happen.
I love a lot of snow on Chjristmas as long as I don't have extensive travel plans! As I child in central NYS I only remember one year without a white Christmas. Here in southern NYS - near NYC - we have a white Christmas only about 25% of the time. It is usually chilly, overcast and snowless!

it really makes a difference if its snowing on christmas morning...i"m dreaming of a white christmas>>>>>

It's another back-to-school season with new students just waiting to be engaged by the study of our past. Primary sources are not only key to studying history, but they can be great hooks for the start of any lesson.
Here's a roundup of some of the best sources in Canada for online primary sources.
Library and Archives Canada. Our national archives is a great place to find images, documents, art, and maps online. Searching for items can be a bit tricky, simply because of the sheer amount of material in the collections, but a few key pieces of information should yield good results. Enter your search terms, select the time of material you are looking for, and make sure you select "yes" if you only want results that are available online. I find the date fields are generally unhelpful — you're better off to leave that blank and then you can filter by date on the results page.
Canadiana.org. This independent, registered charity has partnered with libraries, museums, and archives to help bring our documentary heritage online. Early Canadiana Online is a database of published material spanning the 1600s to the 1940s, while the Canadiana Discovery Portal gives you access to the digital collections from over 40 different organizations across Canada. Try the "random document" feature!
Google News. This one's not as well-known. Google has a rich archive of historic newspapers that you can browse by name and date. Even better - the newspapers are super high res and you can read most of them pretty easily on your computer. I discovered this when I was blogging about the War of 1812 and I was able to read about the events through the Montreal Herald. Check out the full list of newspapers.
CBC Digital Archives. When you get into post-war history, television becomes a new type of primary source. The CBC Digital Archives captures all the iconic moments, interviews, and events from the more recent past.
Begbie Contest Society. This group of BC teachers came together in 1993 to create a contest designed to challenge student's critical thinking skills. Although the contest is no longer running, the website is still being maintained and boasts a wonderful collection of political cartoons. The cartoons are grouped by theme, making it easy to find something that fits with your lesson.
In the April/May issue of Canada's History, historian Sharon Anne Cook looks at 20th century tobacco advertising in her article "When Smoking was Chic."
I've always found popular culture and advertising fascinating because they give us a multi-faceted source for understanding the past. While media certainly has a lot of influence in shaping trends and perceptions, it also reflects the values of a society at that moment in time.
In her article, Cook presents ads aimed at women and explores the changing roles of women throughout the 20th century. From "respectable" ladies to the working woman, we can see how images of women in media change over time.
Virginia Slims was one cigarette brand that capitalized on, and reflected, the changing role of women. Their famous 1968 campaign "You've come a long way, baby!" equated cigarettes with freedom and smoking as a new right that women gained through the early women's movement. In the midst of a new wave of feminism of the 60s and 70s, Virginia Slims appealed to a new generation of women. Of course, it's interesting to note that Virginia Slims reinforce traditional forms of femininity – with slim cigarettes designed for "the feminine hand" (and presumably make the woman feel slim), packs that fit into a purse, and a light taste designed for women.
This video is a compilation of tv ads from the early "You've come a long way, baby" campaign. There are some real gems in here:
I found this video through the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library, hosted by the University of California, San Francisco. This massive database was created to house internal documents related to the tobacco industry, but it also has a lot of interesting media and multimedia files. The database is text-searchable and you can filter by collection, as well.
The Stanford Research into the Impact of Tobacco Advertising is another great place to look for smoking ads. They have a lot of high-quality images, which are grouped by theme for easy searching and browsing.
MediaSmarts is another good source for teaching about media and advertising. They have a number of lesson plans specifically about tobacco advertising, such as:
If you're interested in learning more about tobacco advertising, you can check out Sharon Cook's book Sex, Lies, and Cigarettes: Canadian Women, Smoking, and Visual Culture, 1880–2000.
You might also be interested in Advertising: Reflections of Culture and Value, written by Rose Fine-Meyer (2007 recipient of the Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching) and Stephanie K. Gibson. The book is designed for grade 9-12 students.
The Canadian Education Association (CEA) is looking for submissions for the 2014 Pat Clifford Award. The award recognizes individuals for emerging research in the field of education and those who "show promise of making a significant contribution to educational concepts, theory, policy and/or practice."
Educators who are in the process of completing their Masters or PhD, or who have completed these degrees in the past 2 years, are eligible to apply. The deadline for submissions is May 30, 2014. You can find all the details at www.cea-ace.ca/awards/clifford-award.
In looking through past recipients, I spotted our friend Carla Peck, as the 2010 recipient. Carla has been involved in the Historical Thinking Project, and has done a lot of work to encourage an inquiry-based approach to teaching history. Her current research looks at how students with diverse backgrounds in multicultural countries engage with key moments from their nation's past. You can listen to a podcast with Carla from when she received the Pat Clifford Award in 2010 to learn more about her work.
Despite the weather outside (for most of us, at least), spring is on its way. The birds are starting to whistle their springtime tunes, the snow is melting, and all over Canada, eager young minds are busy with their heritage fair projects.
If you don't know about Heritage Fairs, this is an exciting moment for you. If you're a history-enthusiast, you'll be thrilled to know that thousands of students participate in hundreds of these fairs in every province and territory. It follows a similar format to a science fair: student conduct research on a topic of their choice, present their findings in a visual format, and share their work with judges, parents, their peers, and community members.
Doesn't it just warm your heart to think of all the history that's being learned and shared over dinners tables in Canada right now?
Fairs are typically volunteer-run and any donation of time or resources will go a long way. There are lots of ways that you (or your business) can get involved:
Most importantly, you should just show up to see the students' work! Most fairs host a public night where members of the community can come out to see the projects. Stop by, talk to some amazing students, learn some history and feel good about the future!
Visit HeritageFairs.ca to find a fair in your community.
In the February/March issue of Canada's History, Christopher Moore takes us through an exercise of alternative history in his article "Canada without Medicare." Moore asks readers to consider the Canada of today if the 1962 doctor's strike in Saskatchewan had succeeded and Tommy Douglas' vision of a socialized healthcare system was shattered. It's a great way for having students think through this influential event and to understand all the forces that came together to make it a reality. You can pick up an issue on the newsstands or buy a copy today.
We have some more resources you can use to teach about the history of Canada's health care system. As you explore the resources, here are some of the questions your class may woish to discuss:
"Making Medicare" is a virtual exhibit from the Canadian Museum of History that chronicles the history of health care in Canada. The scope of the content is extensive, covering the Canadian experience since 1914 and touching on the history, economics, and key individuals that helped shape today's health care system.
This video from the NFB provides a good history of Medicare and looks at how Saskatchewan – with its history of pioneering and rural cooperation – became the birthplace of socialized health care.
Last week, we had a great webinar with Rachel Collishaw (2013 GG recipient) all about assessing historical thinking. The year-end exams and term papers weren't cutting it for Rachel — the students weren't engaged and she was drowning in stacks of papers — so she and her colleague completely redesigned the assessment model for their grade 10 history classes.
Now, Rachel has each of her students participate in a primary source interview. The students get to select a primary document to discuss and have a few days to research and prepare their analysis. They must think about the content, the context, the historical significance and its connection to our current world. Then, they meet with Rachel and talk about what they learned and what they think about history! It's wonderful! This model encourages a much deeper understanding of history and challenges the students to formulate their own ideas and questions.
You can watch a recording of the webinar to learn more about this method — including a lot of the logistics behind such an undertaking.
Be sure to check out Rachel's website at collishaw.pbworks.com and connect with her on Twitter.
Amy Park (2010 GG recipient) speaks about her award-winning project and using the discipline-based inquiry rubric developed by the Galileo Educational Network.
Amy had her grade 2 students examine Inuit artifacts and explore their cultural significance, how the objects changed over time, and the impact they had on Inuit culture. The students used their research to create a digital story about their objects.
You can learn more about Amy's work and download the lesson plan here.
Neil Stephenson (2009 GG recipient) invites your classroom to watch a livestream from Delta District School Board in British Columbia of their Holocaust Symposium on February 24th.
The event will provide a free, online Livestream of a presentation by a Holocaust Survivor, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A time. The livestreaming will begin at 10:00am (PST) and will last until around 11:45am (PST).
This event is free, but you must register for the livestream.

We live outside of the US but love visiting Orlando with our two young children so we wanted to make it a permanent place for holidays. Therefore we have set up our new Orlando home as we would our permanent home with care and extras so it is home from home.
Louise Mckenzie purchased this townhome in 2013
As a family we have spent quite a few holidays in Orlando and have tried various types of accommodation, hotel, condo hotel and home rental. When we stayed in a Reunion townhouse we found it to be the most comfortable, relaxing and highly cost efficient way to stay. Reunion is ideal for all lengths and types of stay, with the facilities, location and amenities of a highly rated hotel resort combined with the privacy and comfort of your own home.
2014 - we have had our own summer holiday in our own house this year and loved Disney and the area. We made some improvements to the house after living there ourselves for our own holiday and have taken our previous guests suggestions and questions to try and cover all needs. We have so many supplies and things practical for your little ones all ready and waiting in the house. We have added a dressing table in the master, updated the blinds, added more storage with extra chest of drawers and media unit, towels for the pool, kitchen items to make it a comfortable home for an extra special stay.
Nov 2013 - We have renovated this property with thoughtful care and attention to detail - new carpets, completely gutted, painted and updated, with modern lighting and feel, all new furnishings meaning all furniture, linens, crockery etc.. and we have included a number of very helpful accessories for families. Save dragging along your baby supplies on holiday: a crib, high chair, potty, steriliser, sleep monitor, stairgate and more are all provided in the house. Apart from being an updated spacious house in a lovely setting, just steps away from the community pool and a view down the 17th hole of the Tom Watson Course, there are all of the features of Reunion Resort to use. There are 11 pools in total accessible by our guests, hotel facilities of spa, gym and 5 restaurants on site all accessible by our guests. The Reunion location is perfect for all the various parks yet still quietly tucked away enough to have relaxation time away from them in all the comfort of your own home. You are only a few minutes to all Reunion resort facilities (shuttle bus provided by resort if needed) and to retail outlets including take-away dining options etc..
July 2014 - a small water park has been built at the Villas just 3-4 minutes walk through the golf tunnel for a perfect small free access water park experience. Added large dressing table in master bedroom and updated bathroom cabinets.
July 2015 - installed a TV in the Queen bedroom and serviced appliances
Great and well recommi
This house is fully equipped to handle our family needs away from home. A 1 minute walk across the road and you are in the communal swimming pool. A 5 minute drive down the road and you are at a super market, as well as a pharmacy. For our vacation the house was centrally placed for easy access to the Disney parks as well as the many shopping outlets we ventured too. The owner responded promptly to our queries and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this property to anyone, and we would definitely stay there again.
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. Location was great for getting to and from the theme parks. Onsite splash pool was close to the house and enjoyed by kids. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
I have stayed at over 10 properties on this website. Louise has to be the most accommodating owner I have ever dealt with. She has thought of everything for this home when you have kids. There is a pack and play a high chair plenty of toys and a play room up in the front. Kids plates and cups so you never have to worry that they're going to break something. And even a step stool in the bathroom with a couple bath toys. All of the furnishings in the well-stocked kitchen certainly exceeded my expectations. I have to say this is the best home I've ever stayed in in terms of having everything that my family needs and definitely at a reasonable cost. Thank you to Louise and we definitely want to come back. It is about 10 minutes or so from Disney. And I struggled to figure out where the splash pad for kids was located, that was not the water park. For anybody that's going to stay, it is at Villas North Community in reunion.
We have just returned from our 4th stay at Louise's home. My 4 year old daughter loves coming here, it is so familiar and is a home from home. I love that we do not need to take anything with us for her, there are so many toys, pool toys, bikes etc, enough to keep any small person busy. Meaning more space in your luggage for souvenirs!
Everything was fantastic, clean and organised, meaning we were able to head straight to the pool upon our arrival, even at 6pm.
We visited all of the Disney/universal studios parks, which really are just on your doorstep, making this a perfect location. The pool and hot tub are a very welcoming at the end of a busy day.
The kitchen is fully stocked with more equipment than I have at home, which is great for those nights you don't want to eat out. We used the bbq grill a few nights.
We took our jogging stroller with us and were able to take advantage of the paths around the golf course and explore.
A previous guest mentioned the water had a foul smell, this is nothing to do with the house, it's Orlando in general, it's even the same out of the water fountain in the Magic Kingdom! It's one of the top hits on Google!
The house really is fabulous, it's great to know you can do your own laundry (saves on over packing) and chill out on the comfy couch at nights with a glass of wine and your favourite tv show.
I really hope we get to visit again soon.
We unfortunately did not have a good experience. Day one -Plumbing issues toilet overflow leaked thru ceiling disgusting her staff arrived and corrected issue with 1 to 2 hours. Not something one would want to deal w on holiday first thing in morning. We return to wet carpets and me having to cover so my children did not have to walk thru. the townhouse was from clean dirt on floors hairs in tubs just dirty!!! I had to run out to buy bleach and cleaning products. The water had fowl smell entire stay. The master bathroom plumbing nightmare sinks and tub took forever to drain. Extremely disappointed given the wonderful reviews I read about the place. One positive reunion pool pass for the two days itself very nice would stay on site in those houses instead if this area. Owner has yet to follow up
Minutes drive to Publix, CVS, bank, takeout, dry cleaners and to the main I4 highway for quick access to Orlando's delights of food, parks and outlet shopping!
