Less than an hour outside the hustle and bustle of the Washington beltway, you'll find the rolling pastures and lush woodlands of Virginia's Hunt Country. Don't send out the hounds to find a luxury getaway when you can saddle up for this pastoral Escape to the Goodstone Inn & Restaurant in Middleburg, Virginia.
Named North America's "Most Excellent Inn" in 2011 by Condé Nast Johansens Luxury Travel Guide, the Goodstone Inn & Restaurant is a real catch: a romantic hideaway set on 265 acres in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you and your hunting partner are looking to spend some time alone, no one will track you down in your individually decorated accommodations.
Start the morning by treating yourself to a farm-fresh breakfast of dishes like eggs Benedict and panache of fruit. Once you've had your fill, step outside to catch the scent of the area's myriad offerings. Ride the trails on mountain bikes delivered to your cottage or feel free to do nothing at all in a swaying hammock.
Farther afield, you can shoot over to nearby Middleburg proper and browse its antique shops. Outdoor enthusiasts will hone in on local horseback riding and hot air balloon rides, while discerning palates can capture a taste of wine country.
At dinnertime, reserve a table for two at the Goodstone Restaurant. Voted one of the ten best in Virginia and the Washington suburbs by OpenTable diners, the restaurant brings together modern American and French country cuisine with a farm-to-table emphasis. Try the deep sea diver scallops Provençales sautéed with garlic and herbs, or delight in duck a l'orange served with wild rice. Oenophiles can inquire about wine pairings from the extensive list.
The perfect country refuge can prove an elusive quarry. On this Escape to Hunt Country, you'll happily give up the thrill of the chase for the of sweetness of the reward.
"Formerly an 18th-century plantation, this 265-acre estate is now home to a luxury inn surrounded by dairy pastures and winding creeks... The cottages are individually designed, although many contain gas fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, and full kitchens."-- Travel + Leisure

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment was as described. However, the agent welcoming us was rushed and small things felt like they were done "on the cheap ". Some light bulbs didn't work, there was only a couple of sachets of salt and pepper (despite being advertised as having a full kitchen), and so on. WiFi was broken for best part of a day. The agent should sort this stuff out prior to arrival.
The appartment was great!
I had a problem with the wardrobe, and it was fixed within 2 days.
The only point is it can take a while to park your car ;)
I recommended this appartment, but if you hire a car it's maybe not the right location because of the parking issues.
We had a wonderful holiday in Sliema, Malta. The apartment is well located, beaches, a shopping centre and a lot of bars and restaurants were only a few minutes away, The apartment has al the supplies you need. We had a warm welcome and our host was friendly and always there to help you with questions.
Great apartment in the center of Sliema. Clean, large, comfortable. I highly recommend! It was a great time on Malta.
Everything was perfect, nice house, nice landlord, and really near of everything.
I will take it again for sure!
Great apartment with a really nice view. Plenty of room and the apartment included everything we needed. St Julians Bay is surrounded by nice restaurants and less than ten minutes walks to supermarkets and beaches. A very kind women from our own country welcomed us en explained everything. We could contact them anytime if we needed help, but fortunately that wasn't necessary. Thanks for the great stay, we had a very nice time!
What a memorable experience. The apartment was extremely clean and more than adequate for our 15 nights stay. Our host met us at the door- step although we were a little late arriving. We were shown around the apartment and given all the necessary information required. The apartment was well placed for Sliema and near to all the supermarkets etc. We would recommend to all. Many thanks to you all for your help in ensuring we had a perfect holiday.
Very nice apartment and perfect location. We had a nice stay here
The appartement was absolutely lovely! We have actually nothing bad to say about it. The check-in and check-out were easy and the host was friendly.
As we once had problems with the wifi we made a quick phone call, and came home shortly after to find it already replaced.
So we can only give a big thank you and a thumbs up!
The apartment was fine and central, very close to the ferry boats to Valletta and Gozo and Comino, with a shopping center next door, which had been good for shopping.
During check-in at the apartment charged € 200 deposit, will explain how to use the kitchen, trigger current, etc.
The only thing that has lacked the floor is to have toilet paper, dish soap and stuff that you bring from home and are not basic household (eg scouring pads to clean but had no soap dishes ...) .
I recommend it!
El piso estaba bien y céntrico, muy cerca de la zona de ferries a La Valeta y barcos a Gozo y Comino, con un centro comercial al lado, lo cual venía bien para hacer la compra.
Durante el check-in en el apartamento se cobran los 200€ de depósito, te explican cómo usar la cocina, activan la corriente, etc.
Lo único que le ha faltado al piso es tener papel de wc, jabón para los platos y esas cosas que no te llevas de casa y son básicas para el hogar (por ejemplo, había estropajos para limpiar pero no jabón de platos...).
¡Lo recomiendo!

Lead singer of the White Stripes, synonym for God.
Thank JACK WHITE I passed my Algebra final!
by barbie_dumped_ken June 02, 2005
A truly great guitarist and member of the rock duo The White Stripes (which he formed along with Meg White), The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. Jack's skills on guitar and penchant for the Digitech Whammy use during his solos, combined with Meg's simple yet effective drumming capture a very primal sound, immersed in the bands unique punk/blues fusion. Has an appreciation (along with Meg) for the Dutch art movement De Stijl, which influenced the trademark colour scheme and dynamics of the bands music and on-stage appearence. Also demonstrates that less is more is still a valid technical standpoint. He is also a talented songwriter, and is quite possibly the modern equivalent of the guitar gods of old, frequently being ranked as one of the greatest guitar players of recent times. Long live Jack White :)

Jack White is a buff 6'6" guy from the White Stripes that kicked the shit out of the Von Bondies lead singer after a gig. He had to go to court and got a $1000 fine and community service or something.

Four food outlets in a new retail convenience centre nearing completion in Avondale in West Auckland will go up for auction individually on December 5 with new eight to 10-year leases in place for occupants.
On a high profile 2178sq m site at 2057 Great North Rd with frontage also on Wingate St, the Avondale Convenience Centre is anchored by a 253sq m Carl's Jr drive-through restaurant which is part of a major expansion into New Zealand by the giant American-headquartered fast food chain.
The building near completion has been sold with a 12 year lease through James Chan and Ed Donald of Bayleys Auckland.
"While the Carl's Jr premises are not part of the new auction offering, its business will contribute to a high volume of traffic coming on to the site," Chan says.
Chan and Donald are now marketing the balance of the development in a separate 439sq m building currently under construction, which is scheduled for completion in December.
It includes premises occupied by The Coffee Club, Bruce Lee Sushi, Kiwi Roast and a foodmart.
Chan says the net annual rental range of $28,000 to $64,000, with built-in adjustments based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) will make the units popular with smaller investors.
Donald says the building is being constructed to a high standard with tilt slab concrete walls, good quality commercial grade joinery and shop fronts and Colorsteel longrun roofing.
There will be a large transformer on site plus gas reticulation.
The site will include a sealed and kerbed carpark, fencing on the side boundaries as well as attractive landscaping
The property is being developed by Aubrey Edward Group, which is undertaking a similar type of development on Pakuranga Highway
The largest unit for auction is the 160sq m Coffee Club outlet, which is positioned on the southeastern corner of the building.
Its 10-year lease from December will produce initial net annual rental income of $64,000, with two-yearly rent reviews to CPI.
A large roofed veranda will shelter outdoor seating,and there's a significant amount of seating inside, which Chan says will be fitted out to The Coffee Club's stylish specifications.
Founded as a single store in Australia in the late 1980s, The Coffee Club now employs more than 6000 people and serves more than 40 million coffees a year in more than 300 cafes across Australasia and in Thailand, New Caledonia, China and Egypt.
It began serving coffee and food in New Zealand in 2006 and now has close to 40 outlets from Auckland to Queenstown, with four more expected to open before the end of this year and another nine scheduled to open in the first half of next year.
Last year, The Coffee Club won the Food & Beverage Best Franchise System of the Year Award in the New Zealand Franchise Awards.
At the opposite end of the building, a 119sq m unit will be home to the Wingate Foodmart which will take an eight-year lease, with three-yearly rent reviews to CPI plus 1 per cent.
It will produce net initial annual rental income of $47,600. Ed Donald says the Foodmart tenant is a well established superette operator in the area looking to expand.
In the middle of the centre are two smaller 80sq m units. One will be occupied by Bruce Lee Sushi, which is adding to four stores it has elsewhere in Auckland, and will take a nine year lease at an initial net annual rental income of $28,000.
The other will be home to a Kiwi Roast takeaway outlet, which will pay a $30,000 per annum starting rental plus opex (operating expenses) on its eight-year lease. This will be operated by Kiwi Roast founder Tony Stankovich and will be the 10th Kiwi Roast store he has opened.
"The property is close to the very busy Avondale roundabout and is on the main arterial route between Avondale and New Lynn, which means on average there are over 23,000 cars per day drive passed the site," says Donald.
"This means the centre will draw customers from drop-in traffic resulting from the high volume of cars passing the site as well as the substantial surrounding residential catchment."
Within a 3km radius of the site, there is a total population of close to 75,000 living in more than 26,500 homes, with an average household income of $51,000.
The Forsgren Group has a licence to operate eight Carl's Jr stores in Auckland, including the Avondale one, while NZX-listed Restaurant Brands has secured the rights to establish the rest of the Carl's Jr premises throughout New Zealand.
Restaurant Brands chief executive Russel Creedy has been quoted as saying the company would like as many as 60 restaurants nationwide and that Carl's Jr sales could eventually exceed those of its main brand, KFC.

If you're talking about online play, june 7th's update will even things out. If you're talking about single player, just keep trying until you win. It is meant to be difficult towards the end, and the better you do the more the AI will try to run you off the road. So if you're in first place the entire race, it's going to be tough. Try just keeping up with the pack until the final lap, after that be as aggressive as possible and hope for a little luck. I know the last buggy race at raingod mesa was the hardest for me, but persistence paid off.

It's funny, every once in a while, I feel the same way. I will try 8 or 10 times on one race, and just keep getting 5th, 6th, etc., and then eventually I will just "get it" and get 1st by like 10 seconds. All I can say is keep trying, you will get it!

I found that on the later races (Level 4) , insted of trying to be in 1st the whole race, I would try to keep up with the pack(1-6?) and conserve my boost for the final stretch. As long as you don't crash too much the catch-up feature will let you hang with the group. Then on the last lap I would try to creep up to about 3rd and be heavy on the boost. I do agree, the AI of the other racers is set to take you out, so be careful.

Re: Is MotorStorm too hard?

This game is hard and frustrating if you don't figure out what it takes to win.. a lot of what's required to win in the latter tickets are:
your race line -don't swing too far out when doing turns, you lose a lot of ground and others can pass you while you are trying to get back 'on track'
your boost -conserve it and use it to get out of jams, a pile up, on straighaways, and to control your turns.. make them nice and tight to not lose ground to others
your vehicle choice -some are "bumpier" than others.. the last unlockable vehicle is not always the best, they may be faster but you sacrafice stability and control.
I find that if one particular vehicle or race line doesn't work for long, try to do something else.. don't keep trying the same thing more than 3-5 times, as certain vehicle, race lines just would never result in a win.

Hey, Have to say most races on levels 1-3 are nice and easy.. some take a few attempts.. but thats fine,
Anyone find the event called 'Brutalized' hard? Im on that one now and its seriously the most frustrating thing ever, you cant go for more than 10 seconds without being piled upon. You also have to use a buggy which makes it impossible to get out in front :/.. Its on the tenderizer track aswell

brutalized was one hell of a race to win. i only had 2nd place in it for the longest time. i had not gone into the level 4 tickets until i got gold on all the level 3's. i finally got it after a 2 hour marathon of tries. after that, the level 4 races seemed easy in comparison. the next hard race is rain god with buggies (i forget the race name). the whole pack of angry buggies eats you alive. best to sit back and conserve boost until the final strech for that one.
good luck!
good luck!

At 1 p.m. Tuesday, June 25, 2013, in accordance with God's Will and Plan for his wonderful earthly life, John Ulchar agreed it was
time for him to send his infinite number of friends and family a peaceful farewell. In addition to being a wonderful Father, best friend and honest human being, John was a third-generation native Key West Conch and the grandson of Capt. Edward Braw Saunders. He was a Monroe County resident who truly made a difference in the lives of all who came in contact with him. As the owner and operator of the world famous "Brothers-By-The-Bay" Resort on the quaint and peaceful Gulf side of Little Torch Key, John made it his priority to assure that the "Park" (as it is often referred to) was always a slice of Paradise Perfection for the tenants and visitors alike. He enjoyed his heritage, family, hard work, people from all walks of life, good food, cars and keeping life simple so that he didn't burden his time or the time of others. After his closest friends introduced John to the World Wide Web and email, John really enjoyed becoming more connected and communicative with his distant family and friends and his love of the passion for the arts, cars and all things beautiful. He was blessed with so many gifts and shared his talents freely. There will be a time when Key West artists will clamor to own a single piece of John's artwork, whether it be a local landscape painting, a handmade tin ware rendition of a Key West Conch house or other local architectural landmarks, and even one of his delicate lifelike papier-mâché tropical fish.
Imagine how it feels every time you think of a hero in your life and what their presence in your life meant to you. This is the same wonderful feeling so many will enjoy anytime they hear the name John Ulchar. Happy trails, dear friend, from those who will always love you!!
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 29, 2013, at the Dean-Lopez Funeral Home, 418 Simonton St., Key West, Fla. Burial will be in Key West City Cemetery. Visitation will be 11 a.m. until service time Saturday at the funeral home. The Dean-Lopez Funeral Home is entrusted with all funeral arrangements.

Brandon Cohn
Ever since he was a little kid, Brandon Cohn has been an out going person. Brandon was born in Los Angeles and lived there until he was 8. Cohn briefly moved to El Paso for a couple of years before moving to Chicago with his mom and sister in 1989. While residing in Chicago Brandon became interested in sports. He attended numerous Bulls, White Sox, Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks games. In 1991 Brandon moved back to El Paso to live with his father. Once in high school Cohn realized his love for sportscasting. As a sophmore at Coronado High School he started the sportscasting program for CTV. Cohn did numerous stories during his tenure at CHS on a variety of sports. As a junior in high school Cohn was the Co-host of a local sports television program called "The Sports Bag." While in college at UTEP Cohn worked for KTEP, an NPR affiliate. He announced the time, and weather during breaks and co-hosted a radio program called "Classics of Jazz." During his senior year at UTEP, Cohn completed an internship for KROD. Shortly after the internship was completed, Brandon was hired to work over nights for KROD, KLAQ, and KISS. After working over nights for 2 years Cohn was given the Co-Host and producer position for "Crunchtime." Today Brandon is the host of Crunchtime, a reporter for Football Friday Night, and does play-by-play for UTEP women's basketball home and road games. In July of 2012 Brandon officially became known as "The Iceman" and began his own podcast for 600 ESPN El Paso called Deep Dish Sports. The name Deep Dish Sports derives from the Iceman's love for his second home, Chicago. When I went to Chicago for the first time in 1988, my stepfather Nick took my mom, sister, and I to a famous Chicago deep dish pizza restaurant called Giordano's. Once I tried it, I was hooked, anyone who has had deep dish pizza from Chicago will tell you that it is amazing! Due to my love of deep dish pizza, and the city of Chicago, I decided to call my podcast Deep Dish Sports. Not to mention that it is a deep, informative podcast, featuring a variety of guests.

text: Hey guys i havent been on here a while cause school is picking up but a new idea dawned on me on my way back. So i was on the highway on my way back to school when i passed a game warden in a crew cab nbs truck. Thats when i saw it... he had one of the spot lights that police officers have kinda where the door meets the frame on the drivers side. I was immediately struck with envy haha. Not only would it look pretty cool but it would be handy on the farm and when we go hunting. But i have no idea what so ever where to get my hands on one and how to put it in if i do. Would i try looking around on the internet or maybe going to a junk yard and seeing if they have any wrecked cop cars or what? If it turns out that there would be alot of drillin and tearing up the interior i might just have to pass on it but i wanna look into it. What do yall think? Thanks!

I was merely listing the negative facts about him. Those are all absolute facts.
My opinion about his film is different and mixed. I made it known I liked him,just not as much as many here. I felt he was not a 1st rounder and that he was the 3rd best TE in the draft(behind Ebron and ASJ.) As it turns out, that is the exact order they went.
The reason I mention his small hands is because if you watch his tape you see him make catches almost exclusively in wide open spaces without defenders around. There are very few contested catches at all. That goes to the level of defenses he played all year too. He will not be that open as routinely in the NFL and when fighting for contested catches having small hands does matter.
He will still fit in with the Jets just fine and he will make catches. I was not implying that he is a garbage player. I just felt that based on Reese pre draft comments about valuing blocking from the TE position and based on his character concerns he wasn't ever going to be picked by the Giants. He is a poor blocker and had 2 big character red flag incedents.

He has over 200 yards returning the ball and he also had a huge catch taken away by a penalty. Could have had close to 400 yards.
From ESPN:
4 returns for 227 yards = 56.8 yard average
327 all purpose yards........ wow
This is why many of us kept calling for his name every week
"Once a Giant, ALWAYS, a Giant."
and he gives us a big play RUNNING td threat that we NEED to alleviate the pressure on eli. wilson just earned a starters role imho. he may not start officially but hell get carries like a starter

It Cuts Both Ways: American Majority Deems Nanotechnology Immoral
Kristopher Kubicki
February 23, 2008 1:57 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
A one thousand-year-old history lesson awaits those who would deem the cutting edge wicked
Damascus steel was forged using a process of carbon doping iron in a smelting and quenching process. This steel became famous almost a thousand years ago; it was said a Damascus sword would cut through falling silk, a rock, and then another piece of silk while still keeping its razor sharp edge.
The ability to make the Damascus steel was lost with the ages. Blademasters would often take the secret of the forging process to the grave rather than reveal its mysteries. Many were persecuted as heretics, others heralded as deities.
A study by a University of Wisconsin-Madison revealed that
more than 70% of 1,015 surveyed Americans deem nanotechnology morally repulsive
. Professor Dietram Scheufele attributes this repugnance for technology to American reliance on religion.
It's easy to say that perhaps the 1,000 Americans surveyed are just not that bright. Scheufele disagrees, stating, "They are rejecting it based on religious beliefs. The issue isn't about informing these people. They are informed."
Scheufele believes that Americans who disprove of nanotechnology do not want humans "playing God." That is, man manipulating structures of one nanometer, one billionth of a meter, is akin to God manipulating the forces of the universe.
In 2006 German researcher Peter Paufler discovered (with the aid of a sub-nanotechnology, the electron microscope) that a four hundred-year-old Damascus steel sword
gained its incredible properties from carbon nanotube structures within the blade's edge
. Fifteen years earlier NEC created the world's first synthetic nanotube. One year later it was awarded the patent for one of the sharpest materials on earth,
a plasma polished carbon nanotube blade
Science has always bordered on the fence of terrifying and mysterious. Civilization lost the secrets of Damascus steel making when then modern thinkers deemed it a practice of
deus ex hominis.
Attempting to describe the morality of natural phenomena leads to an exercise in natural fallacy. Not once, in the history of mankind, has science ever been proven immoral -- and conversely -- nor has it ever been proven moral either.
Will society deitize nano-researchers as modern day Damascus blademasters, or will it learn to look beyond the meta-ethics of natural phenomena for a change?
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein

Two Hope College runners have qualified for the
NCAA Division III cross country championships to be held Saturday
(Nov. 20) at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
Senior Jennifer Ernst of Westerville, Ohio (Westerville HS)
will compete in the women's 5K race while junior Joe Veldman of
Sawyer (Three Oaks-River Valley HS) will be the men's 8K field.
Both gained berths at nationals during the Great Lakes
Regional meet held last Saturday (Nov. 13) in Ada, Ohio. Ernst
placed second in a field of 212 female runners while Veldman was
sixth among 203 male entrants.
This marks the third consecutive year that Hope has
qualified a runner for the women's nationals. This will be
Ernst's first trip although she is not a newcomer to national
collegiate competition. Last spring she achieved NCAA All-
America status by finishing seventh in the 10,000 meter run at
the Division III track and field championships.
Veldman becomes the first Hope runner to qualify for the
men's nationals since 1995.
The Hope runners will be accompanied by coach Mark Northuis
who since taking over the helm of the cross country program in
1988 has coached six All-America efforts at the women's
nationals. The last was a year ago when Rebecca Timmer finished
19th to achieve All-America honors. Northuis is seeking his
first men's All-American. The last male runner to achieve All-
America designation was Steve Underwood in 1981.

Beyond Personhood: Why Corporations Love the Constitution More Than You do
Posted by Shannon Biggs in Community Rights, End Dirty Energy, People Power, Not Corporate Power on 16th January, 2013 | 22 Comments
January 21st marks the 3rd anniversary of the SCOTUS Citizen United ruling that opened the corporate-funded floodgates. While criticizing corporate personhood has hit the mainstream, questioning the Constitution remains the ultimate taboo.Shannon Biggs and Randy Hayes ask, "What do you love about the U.S. Constitution?" and explore what the Constitution is…and isn't.

Playboy's Mid-Summer's Night Dream party at The Mansion is one of Los Angeles's best parties of the summer, and this year was no different. The lingerie and pajama party was attended by Playmates, models, actors, athletes, musicians and other celebrities dressed for bedtime but ready to party.
The annual soiree, which was hosted by Hugh Hefner, included a crowd-pumping performance by Pitbull, who also performed at Playboy's annual Halloween party a few years ago.
Scroll through our Mid-Summer's Night Dream photo gallery for all the highlights (that we're allowed to show you) from this year's party.


text: I used to have a swarm catcher. I never used it but I like the design and concept. Well, I let someone borrow it ...., and the rest is history. Some day I will buy another one. Anyways I just ordered one for a beekeeping couple I know. One thing I like about the swarm catcher is that it is light-weight and the bottom is attached to the nuc body. I figure you can still use it as a nuc. It seems to make sense to have one on hand-just in case. Eventually the need will arise.

Recommended host. Give some advice and information about Roma. Really nice room, well located from the city center
Ohodnoďte tomuto hostiteli i další ubytování
We had a nice stay in a very clean place. Everything you need is there and Paolo is taking care of all your questions. The tube is very close and goes everywhere in Rom you have to go :)
I spent 12 days and nights at Paolo's privat hostel and I was totally satisfied. It really felt like a home during my days in Rome.
Usually I don't sleep very well if it's not my own bed, but here I've slept well every night. In the kitchen you can find all you need. It's a very nice opportunity to find something to eat and to drink, especially you've been late because of any Italian train you've taken and every shop is already closed.
The rooms, the kitchen and the bathroom is very very clean. I enjoyed that fact very much.
You find enough towels on your bed when you arrive, in the bathroom is a hair dryer, indeed everything to take a shower, to wash your hands and hair... in an ecological quality :O Great !!!
Paolo and everyone else are very friendly and helpful.
I need to talk about one other big big opportunity: The Metro station is very next to Paolo's home and for me the Metro was the most important and the most practicable way to go.
I can warmly recommend Bunk Bed, you're in best hands there =D If I will ever return to Rome, I will book again a room in Paolo's hostel !!! Everything was excellent =)
Our stay at the B&B flew away faster than we expected. We especially enjoyed: the building's garden, the (practically) private bathroom, the functional distribution of spaces, the abundant self-served breakfast.
No major complaints. Just be aware that it's a more or less a shared flat (affittacamere) and that the kitchen is shared with a few other rooms. You'd have the chance to meet foreign travelers as part of the experience.
Grazie di tutto, Doriana. Alla prossima.
I must say that Paolo was extremely nice. There was an error in our booking and there was no place in his B&B but to compensate, he got us a bigger room in a nearby place and he also gave us gifts for Easter. The location (Porta Furba) is very convenient and near to the city center, yet it is far from the touristic hustle-bustle. I would definitely recommend his place.
We really enjoyed staying at Paolo's place. The apartment is really easy to find, not too far from the center, yet comfortably away from the bustle of town, a little charming hideaway in a city garden. The kitchen is well equipped, spacious and stocked with delicious cookies and cakes. Paolo was there for us when we had questions. He was a wonderful and caring host. Thank you, Paolo!
Great place! We will surely come back there in the future. Paolo is a really helpful person. The room was clean, so as the rest of the hostel. Worth every cent. ;)
Located 1 minute from station, this place is super easy to find. The place was really spacious. I love the treats like breakfast and cookies from the host. Clean, wifi internet and elevator! I will definitely go back to rome and stay at this place.

Breaking: Nelson will vote for cloture
posted at 9:47 am on December 19, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Every man has his price, apparently, and Harry Reid found Ben Nelson's price for a cloture vote on ObamaCare. Nelson announced this morning that the language in the manager's amendment on aborti0n will be enough to secure his support for Reid's compromise bill, but Think Progress reports on what really sold Nelson — or bought Nelson, depending on your perspective. First, the Washington Post:
Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, was prepared to announce to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas.
"We're there," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to announce the deal.
Democratic leaders spent days trying to hammer out a deal with Nelson, and worked late Friday night with Nelson on abortion coverage language that had proved the major stumbling block. But Nelson also secured other favors for his home state.
A few favors? Try a boatload of federal cash:
Under the current merged legislation (the version unveiled on November 18th), the federal government fully finances care for the expanded population for two years and increases its matching funds (known as FMAP) thereafter. Page 98 of the managers amendment specifically identifies Nebraska for higher federal matching funds, fully funding its expansion for an additional year:
''(3) Notwithstanding subsection (b) and paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, the Federal medical assistance percentage otherwise determined under subsection (b) with respect to all or any portion of a fiscal year that begins on or after January 1, 2017, for the State of Nebraska, with respect to amounts expended for newly eligible individuals described in subclause (VIII) of section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i), shall be determined as provided for under subsection (y)(1) (A) (notwithstanding the period provided for in such paragraph)
Subsection (y)(1)(A) refers to page 399 of the original merged Senate legislation which fully funds state Mediciad expansions for the first two years. The manager's amendment also provides 2.2% increase in FMAP to help states finance their existing Medicaid programs.
That will be worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars in federal cash for Nebraska … for the first three years. After that, Nebraskans get as screwed as the rest of the country.
And what about that abortion coverage? Nelson caved, as one can read in the published version, via Patriot Room:
Scroll down to Section 1303, which uses the same reliance on the "prohibited under HHS rules" dodge as the earlier Senate version, rather than using the language from the Stupak Amendment in the House that explicitly prohibited public money from funding abortions or abortion coverage. If Congress fails to renew the Hyde Amendment for just one year, this language will become moot. This version will lose none of the progressives, because they know they can just kill the Hyde Amendment renewal now to eliminate the problem.
Nelson caved on abortion and sold out for an extra year of federal Medicaid subsidies.

A person who plays music in a band or solo (most commonly Indie Rock or other hipster music) who has no or very little talent yet feels compelled to strut around or just generally act like a "Rock Star". Most commonly found in cities with "great music scenes" such as Austin or Seattle and simply revitalizes the idea of empty egotism over any substance. People who want to act like "Rock Stars" for the status symbol, but actually know very little about music itself. So therefore people with the exact same talent and delusional sense of self-importance that a person playing the video game "Guitar Hero" would feel.
I went to the show last night and it sucked, they were all just a bunch of Glorified Guitar Hero Players douche bags.

Wild Steelhead Coalition - wildsteelheadcoalition.org
The Wild Steelhead Coalition (WSC) is an organization dedicated to increasing the return of wild steelhead to the waters and rivers of the Pacific Northwest.
Wild steelhead are an important legacy to the Pacific Northwest and have undeniably been reduced to a fraction of their once historical numbers. Over harvest, habitat degradation, poor hatchery practices, construction of impassable barriers to migration, and misguided management strategies have all contributed significantly to the decline, and in some cases extinction, of wild fish runs. Without a change in policies and attitudes, these same factors will continue to reduce and extirpate wild steelhead.
The WSC is comprised of concerned citizens determined to reverse the factors that have negatively impacted wild steelhead, and in so doing, restore healthy and viable populations of wild steelhead to the Pacific Northwest. In so doing, wild salmon and other salmonids will also benefit. The WSC represents conservationists, recreational fishermen, businesses that depend upon wild steelhead for their livelihoods, and citizens who seek to preserve the future of the Pacific Northwest's greatest resource.
To that end, the WSC promotes year round, catch and release of all wild steelhead in the Pacific Northwest. The WSC promotes and encourages the development and utilization of fishing practices that result in decreased mortality of wild steelhead and salmon. Barriers to migration and the degradation and removal of productive habitat have reduced the capacity of rivers to support wild steelhead. In order for fish runs to be restored, the WSC promotes the return of existing damaged habitat to its productive state, and that miles of productive spawning grounds that are no longer accessible to fish be made accessible again. Hatchery programs must be closely examined and be carried out in such a manner that the negative impacts on wild fish are removed or minimized. The WSC stands for the mass marking of all hatchery steelhead, and for science, not politics, to be the basis for the re-tooling of hatchery practices. The models and policies that drive fisheries management must significantly change. Maximum Sustained Harvest and Maximum Sustained Yield have failed to protect and perpetuate our wild fish, and in many cases have been the driving force behind their decline. New models that are based on factors other than the greatest possible harvest of wild fish are necessary to return fish runs to safe levels. In promotion of these goals, the Wild Steelhead Coalition is an organization that provides a voice that unites the public, private, and other interests who desire and depend on wild steelhead.

Where I stayed
Wal-Mart (Charleston, SC)
After the boat trip back, I drove west to Conagree Swamp National Park. It is one of the youngest national parks in the system, and it's primarily comprised of an old growth hardwood forest and cypress tree swamp. Through its history it has held many state and national champion trees, and is known for having one of the highest forest canopies in the country. I set out on one of the trails that made about a 4 mile loop. The first and last stretches met up with a separate boardwalk trail (ground level on the swamp side and four feet raised in the woods), while a wilderness trail (often muddy or flooded) made up the rest of my trek. It was easy to see what a constant job maintenance on the boardwalk would be. Numerous times I observed stretches of boardwalk with lumber that was markedly newer than the surrounding boards. There never failed to be a large freshly fallen tree directly underneath this newly constructed portion. I never did have to trudge directly through the water, as there was always another way around for the observant and sure-footed. The sheer volume of fallen trees in the park was more than I had ever seen. Apparently past storms had done quite a number on the park and I'm sure the wet loose soil doesn't do much for the trees when high winds arrive. I didn't see anything more than a few dozen fox squirrels, but there was the constant knocking of woodpeckers resonating through the woods, often followed by a few low hoots from the native owls
After leaving Conagree, I drove a little bit further west to Columbia, SC where I started searching for dinner. I had a craving for Indian food, but after discovering two of the locations my GPS found were closed (one with a Sheriff's notice on the door) I decided to switch regions and go for Mexican. My next stop was to a nearby Flying J, and I was up until about 4am working on photos and catching up on this blog and other e-mails. Around 1:20 I called the local police department to report four gunshots that I had heard a few minutes earlier. They were all fired quickly and evenly right after one another and sounded like they were about two blocks away. It sounded like the shots were all from one handgun, but having lived in places where occasional gunfire is a part of the normal audio scape, I didn't get particularly worried. At first, I figured someone else would probably have called the police already; then I realized they probably all thought the same thing, so I went ahead and called.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have used the coco fiber that comes in brick form for reptiles but now I used jiffy seed starter mix because it is so much cheaper. I take a few 100%dry eggshells and put them in the coffee grinder till they are powder and mix with the coco/jiffy. this stops the mix from getting to acidic
that mix gets moistened until it is very damp but not wet. If I squeeze it I want it to clump but no dripping of water.
1x a week I mix it all up to eliminate anaerobic areas.
I feed my white worms fish food--flakes and algea disks. I never feed bread or yogurt or cat food. cat food is high in protien and you will get more worms faster but I don't have a cat. This is what works for me. I add enough to last 2-3 days and mist the food when I add it.
I cover the food with a piece of hard plastic. If you keep the plastic clean you can often just scrape the worms from that. if not i spoon out a bit with lots of worms and decant them a few times with cold water from the faucet.
I always keep more than one culture going because they can crash over night.
-I have only had one culture crash, but it went from maybe 2 thousand worms to maybe a hundred in a day or two. It takes about 5 weeks for 20-50worms to turn into hundreds (I mean 500 or 800, not 100 or 200)
I keep my cultures in cheap plastic containers. room temp was fine in the winter but now I keep them in a cooler. also in the cooler is a 2 liter soda bottle that gets replaced each morning. The bottles get stored in the freezer and is ice by next day and this keeps the cultures cool enough. make sure the cooler is open a crack for ventilation
hope that helps.
PM if you want a culture, just pay shipping
although i don't truly think they are any more intelligent or have more personality than any other fish it sure seems like they do
dprais1, how do you maintain your white worms and would you be willing to ship a small culture?
|Old Orchard has em
sexing them at the lfs was a failure for me. they are usually .5" or less, just too hard.
let me try to explain my thoughts.
30 tetras is much more impressive than 5. They school and look great as a big group.
dp are more like plecos. having a bunch in a tank isn't really any more enjoyable than having 1 or 2.
since you can't really keep most fish with them it seems sort of a waste to dedicate a bigger tank to them when, personally, I get the same happiness from seeing a few as many. (unless you are talking about a really big tank, maybe a 100 gallon long with 40 dps in it, then it takes on a new dimension just for novelty's sake)
I really like the dimensions of a 20Long, so a 20L with a 2-3F and 1 M is what I would do.
A 10 or 30 would work but I don't like the dimensions as much.
You could always put a dozen in a 30 gallon and then just keep the ones you want, they grow fast and in 3 months at most you should be able to sex them easily enough.
dwarf puffers....anyone?????
yes, mostly. the males, ime, don't set up a territory they just fight each other or chase when they see each other.
the 5gal-3gal rule is a good guideline but M:M:F rtio is more important.
lets say you want to keep 3 in a 10 gal.
3F fine
1M 2F fine
2M 1F bad idea
3M probably okay because no females to fight over but not sure.
In a 20L I would only put 1M. Bigger than 20L I would try more than 1 M
I feel like its a crap shoot sexing em though at the lfs and if you want to keep more then 1 fish there's some trial and error in finding compatible tank mates?
I recently inherited a spare 30 gallon and I almost am rethinking a smaller tank for a few puffers... IDK
yes, mostly. the males, ime, don't set up a territory they just fight each other or chase when they see each other.
the 5gal-3gal rule is a good guideline but M:M:F rtio is more important.

3M probably okay because no females to fight over but not sure.
In a 20L I would only put 1M. Bigger than 20L I would try more than 1 M
Didn't I read soemthing about 5 gal for the 1st, and like 3 gal per fish after that?
I think the big problem was males - they can get very territorial... but only if cramped and with not enough females to chase around.
mine are in a 75 gallon. I think it is saltwater that are poisonous. petting a dp would be like petting a neon tetra, just isn't going to happen,
My honest opinion. Their size and personality and incompatibility with other fish make them a poor choice for a big tank. A 10 gallon tank would fit them perfectly.
they are fun to watch
and although i don't truly think they are any more intelligent or have more personality than any other fish it sure seems like they do
how big of a tank are the 10 of 'em in? are they happy? recommend an upgrade or no?
i'm looking at finally giving in to MTS and after reading about these guys I think I'd enjoy a tank with 'em.
aren't the full-sized blowfish super poisonous, though? (the flesh I mean). I do have kids visiting my house, I'd hate for one of 'em to drop dead from licking their fingers after petting the fish when I wasn't looking.
|You'll love them!
|Not sure if you bought any yet, but golden aquarium had some in stock about a week ago
I don't know if they are really personable per se. they are cute little fish and swim kind of funny and slow. but they all pretty much do the same thing.
a bit of anthropomorphism if you ask me. I got most of mine from AA.
males develop strong yellow fins but I have one that has more of orange fins
having 20 in my 75 gallon has been my goal for a while.
problems though...
-as adults they don't school so I have a lot of tiny fish swimming around my tank doing their own thing
--scale, even from 10' away I just have some pale yellow fish in a big tank
---I am of the opinion you either have a dwarf puffer tank or you don't (other fish aren't safe, my rcs population is dwindling...)
----my wife thinks they are boring, cute but boring
What I really need is a basement and have a tank set up just for puffers and another tank with 'pretty' fish for the family.
But that won't be for a while.
my first batch was 12 puffers special ordered. all looked great in the bag, acclimated to my tank over 15 minutes. a few days later all were dead except one.
next batch were from AA, 10 of them. slow acclimation over 30 minutes. all still kickin months later.
If anyone is interested I decided, with the wifes urging, to go ahead and do rainbow fish instead.
I feed mine mainly white worms.
I always have enough to start a culture for local dp keepers that want to swing by and get a culture going. nudge nudge say no more
takes about 5 weeks to get a culture really going--about the same time to cycle a tank
best case. dp are really lots of fun. even if they never "puff up".
I feed mine mainly white worms.

Thanks for the info guys......this is all good stuff.
I'll swing by AA a little later and check to see if they have any Puffers in stock. Unless things have changed, I believe that they get new stock in on wednesdays so it might be a good time to swing on by.
I've read that sexing them is super difficult when they are juvies. I have an extra empty 10g just collecting dust in my closet....so worse case scenario, I get a 3-5, see how they interact, and separate if there is aggression. (Wait a min....setting up a new tank??? Is that worse case scenario, or is that BEST case scenario! )
@dprais1 - What size tank do you have your Puffers in? Having 20+ puffers in a tank would be awesome. I've never kept them before, but from what I have heard they are super personable fish and a lot of fun to watch. And just curious...where did you get yours from? Did you order them or find somewhere local?

Excerpt: "The last two times the Giants took the field against the Saints it was at the Superdome in New Orleans. They left it losers by lopsided margins in each, 48-27 in October 2009 and 49-24 in Week 12 last season.
Playing indoors on the fast indoor artificial track often works in the Saints' favor -- the Superdome's high decibel level helps, too -- and Sunday the Giants get a chance against them at MetLife Stadium where they won't have such an advantage.
"Hopefully, yes," Coughlin said of having an advantage playing the Saints away from the Superdome. "You're not going to change nay of the skill set or anything of that nature, but it'll be nice to play them at our place."
Regardless of location, the Saints will come to New Jersey with a three-game winning streak over the Giants. New Orleans beat them in their last trip north, 30-7. That was at the old Giants Stadium. Sunday will be their first game at MetLife.
Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt took issue with the notion that the Saints are a dome team.
"Weve won big games on the road before. Weve played in bad weather games," Vitt said in a conference call with reporters today. "Weve played in the snow in Cincinnati two years ago. I know that we lost a heartbreaker to Seattle in a playoff game and it was a bad weather game. We beat the Raiders three weeks ago in Oakland.
"To me its always about preparation. You go in there being a properly prepared football team and youre ready physically, mentally and emotionally. Let the whistle blow and lets see who the best team is but its all going to be about preparation and you cant really worry about things you cant control like the weather and the elements. You prepare for them as best you can but right now were prepared for the Giants and well see what the weather is." Read more...

Winter is on its way out in Whistler. But wait! Before the skis hit the attic, vow to take a few more turns with this week's Escape to Delta Whistler Village Suites.
Or don't—your voucher, a two-night stay for two in a Premier One Bedroom Suite, is valid any day of the week between April 9 and June 28 or Sundays through Thursdays between June 29 and November 15 ($229), meaning even if you missed the end of winter, there's still spring, summer, and fall.

While late-season snowstorms are keeping powder hounds happy (there's still about 120 inches of base at both Blackcomb and Whistler), this hundred-year-old town is anything but a one-trick pony. Relish sweeping vistas of Whistler's five lakes from inside the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, which connects the two mountains and boasts the highest and longest unsupported lift in the world. From either side, you'll be able to access dozens of miles of hiking trails, restaurants and wine bars, and more.
And shopping! From international to boutique, high-end to kitsch, shopping is alive and well in the Village. Après-retail therapy, peruse the numerous bars, art galleries, and other big-city amenities that make Whistler special.
Whatever you do, be sure to work up an appetite for the haute cuisine at the on-site Hy's Steakhouse. Start with Dungeness crab cakes, dig into the likes of Hy's famous New York Strip (complemented by house steak sauce), and pair it all with a glass of wine.
Or, keep it casual at the on-site Elephant & Castle, a British-style spot serving loads of beer and classic pub fare like shepherd's pie, wings, and a few upmarket entrées.
At day's end, retire to the hot tub and plot out your next day. At Whistler, with four seasons of fun at your fingertips, the possibilities are endless.
"In the heart of Whistler Village, steps away from trendy shops, restaurants, exciting nightlife, this premier, all-suite, pet-friendly hotel provides luxurious surroundings and all the comforts of home."-- Tourism Whistler

Credit Transfer Cited as a Consumer Protection Issue
A presentation on college transfer credits was held in early June at the Center for American Progress (CAP) featured an issue brief by the center and the Council for Adult & Experiential Learning. The brief reports that community college students who transfer to a four-year college find that not all of their earned credits are accepted. "The average community college student, for example, is forced to amass 140 credits while pursuing a bachelor's degree even though only 120 credits are typically necessary. Those 20 extra credits represent individual time, effort, and money. But they also represent public investment in the form of federal aid to these students and state subsidies to public colleges."
In his opening remarks at the event, Frank Chong, OVAE's deputy assistant secretary for community colleges, called the transfer problem a "consumer protection" issue and "an old problem … begging for new solutions." Indeed a variety of new solutions will be required, given the diversity of community colleges. Among the examples discussed at the CAP event were:
- California's recent Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act, which assures that community college graduates earning selected associate degrees will be accepted as juniors into a California State University "baccalaureate program."
- Ohio's new Transfer Assurance Guides, "groups of foundational courses that represent a commonly accepted pathway to the bachelor's degree."
- Cross-state agreements, which depend on the member states

President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics Sworn In
In late May, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor swore in the members of the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. The commission is charged with working with the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics to meet President Obama's goal for the nation to lead the world in the number of college graduates by 2020.
At more than 54 million, Hispanics are both the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the U.S., yet they have the lowest educational attainment levels of any group in the country. Large numbers of Hispanics lack the education or literacy skills they need to advance their careers; they also are less likely than members of other groups to have taken job- or career-related courses, with the exception of basic education classes.
As the executive order creating the initiative noted "… there is no doubt that the future of the United States is inextricably linked to the future of the Hispanic community. To reach the ambitious education goals we have set for our Nation, as well as to ensure equality of opportunity for all, we must provide the opportunities that will enable Hispanic students to raise their educational attainment at every level of the American education system. America's future competitiveness in our global economy will be substantially enhanced by improving educational outcomes for Hispanics." Eduardo J. Padron, president of Miami Dade College and chair of the advisory commission, commented, "America's progress [will be] impossible if [Hispanic students] continue to lag behind."
Community colleges play a central role in the postsecondary education of Hispanics. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, among students who enrolled in postsecondary education immediately after high school, a greater percentage of Hispanic students enrolled in a community college than any other racial or ethnic group except American Indians/Alaska Natives.
LINCS Holding Discussion on Health Literacy
The Literacy Information and Communication System (LINCS) will hold a meeting— Evaluating and Measuring Health Literacy—June 13–20, 2011. This year's discussion is designed to advance the ideas and efforts that emerged as a result of the March 2010 meeting.
Last year's discussion explored the existing screeners and measures of health literacy and their uses and limitations. Participants and experts also discussed elements that a rigorous measure of health literacy should include, and the kinds of conceptual work and testing are needed in order to create and validate such a measure. This year's discussion hopes to: extend the process further, gauge the consensus on more specifics of a new measurement tool, and agree on a course of action to develop and test it. Participants will look at the consensus numbers from last year's survey and engage in a discussion of proposed questions. To learn about this year's discussion, please visit LINCS.
