Date of Stay: February, 2007
If you enjoy parks in a very natural environment, this is one of interest to you. You can even get to spend a free two nights here, as I did to check it out. Cellphone service is spotty, but if you really have to make a call, you can go by any of the swimming pools and have access. Wi-Fi is available in the Adult Lodge Free, with lots of tables and chairs to sit in to use it. Pool Tables are available, and many friendly Pool players. Tennis Court up the hill, with a Basketball court. 2 large Jaccuzzi's and lot of friendly campers. I've seen a lot of "cliques" in campgrounds, but there are none here. It is close to the border, but we felt safe, as the Border Patrol comes though the campground on a regular basis. There is a well equiped store, we had a slight leak in our grey tank, and found a package of stuff that could repair gas tanks here. It instantly stopped the leak. They allow dogs and cats here, but in my entire stay, never noticed a dog barking but once, for a short time. But, we did hear Coyote's calling in the hills, and it was very enjoyable. Something you do not experience in many campgrounds.
Date of Stay: January, 2007
We paid $8 to stay here, because we are members of Coast to Coast. We only intended to here a few days, but so enjoyed the Mineral Spa (about 15 x 25 feet, so stayed longer. Best thing about it, we feel there were benefits from the mineral water, but there is no chemical smell or sulpher smell. The water is changed frequently, so it feels clean in spite of the fact no chlorine is used. If I remember correctly, the water is completely changed about 7 or more times per hour. Many spas are too hot for me, this one is about 104 degrees, so comfortable. Roads are paved, a bit rough in a few places, but no problem for our RV or any we saw. All sites that I saw are back in, but some may be pull through as we didnt look at all of them. The sites are sand, with a cement patio. Our site was smaller than some, probably would hold only a 30' RV, but we chose it for trees. Power, water, sewer connections were conveniently located. There are two nice pool areas. We used the one by the store the most, as it was closer to our site. Close enough to walk in our bare feet. The site was lined with trees on one side, and bushes about 7-8 feet high on the other, so we felt it was very private. Fishing is allowed in the stream, we don't fish, but watched a boy about 14 fishing and he caught three fish while we were watching. Believe it may be stocked, but didn't inquire. We will be coming back here, on our way back home from this trip.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
We stayed here as Coast to Coast members, so it was the standard rate. On the way back from IL, when we arrived in Sante Fe NM, we stop for food in the Super Walmart. Talking with someone there, they mentioned what an interesting drive it was down Route 14. It went though old towns, much like they were back in the 1899's, so we decided to take a side trip. The drive was interesting, and slow, so decided to stay the night here. Mainly looking for a place to stay to rest for the night. The Management was very helpful, even though we were late arrivals, we called, and they left a note, and map, etc on a ledge at the store for us. It was a good place to stop for the night, but the site we were in was quite narrow, and on a steep hill. The site we were on was so narrow, RVs with slides on either side of us were so close we felt uncomfortable. On the right where our door is, we had less than 3 feet from the slide. On the right, almost so close when hooking up the elec, water, and sewer it was less than 2 feet away. There were many signs warning of Rattlesnakes, but we did not see any. There were loads of rabbits on both roads in front and back of our RV. We didnt stay long enough to meet many people, but there seemed to be full timers on either side of us. Sites were neat and clean for all full timers we saw. We would stay here in the future, as it looked as if at the bottom of the hill we were on, the campsites were larger. They may have put us on this site, as we were not staying long. Campground was attractive, lots of flowers, bushes, etc and far from the "paved parking lots" which I will not stay in... We want to come back, and spend more time on Route 14 exploring the old mining towns there.

Being killed by your parent is more shocking than being killed by a random group of vigilantes. That's kinda to be expected if you parents have "drug money" just lying around the house…
When was the last time you heard Nancy Grace rail obnoxiously from the television screen about the murder of Brisenia Flores?
You know who I'm talking about – it's hard to miss her shrill delivery on the cable TV dial. She's one of those either-lover-her-or-hate-her people; I'm one of the click-the-channel-quickly-when-I-see-her-on-the-screen people. I'm not a fan.
Grace has gotten good traction from the Casey Anthony trial.
But she's not the only one. The Anthony trial has been fodder for a noxious amount of media attention. Granted, the case had all the required ingredients of a Hollywood murder drama: the pretty baby, the attractive mother, the unspeakable crime. It was hard to avoid it in the tabloids and every news-type television program the country. It was the perfect story to bounce around the media echo-chamber, let it fester, grow and bring more viewers.
From a ratings standpoint, cynical as it may sound, it was a gold mine. Now that the trial is over, now that Casey Anthony was found not guilty, the story has gotten a second wind in the form of outrage, trial deconstruction, jury second-guessing and commentary. It should be good for at least another week. I wonder though, what if little Caylee Anthony had been a minority child? What if she had been, say, Latina? Would the attention have been the same?
No need to stretch the theory, we have a good case at hand – a recent case that has as much drama as the Caylee story.
Brisenia Flores, the nine year old girl who was murdered in Arizona, shot by a group of pseudo-vigilantes who forced their way into her home looking to steal drug money that was to be used to finance a citizen border protection organization. They killed her father, wounded her mother and then killed the nine year old for reasons that still make no sense. Basically, it was a group of anti-immigrants who killed a little Latina girl to pay for their anti-immigrant activities. Perfect fodder for Grace and her ilk, no? In fact, the third and last defendant in the Brisenia Flores murder trial, Albert Gaxiola, was being tried at the same time as Casey Anthony. But not a peep in the media.
This isn't to diminish what happened to little Caylee Anthony. It is a horrible crime that has yet to be solved. But the story quickly went from being sad to being a side-show – amplified by the 24 hour news wheel and the instant Internet repost cycle. We talked about it, we tweeted about it, we linked to it on FaceBook.
How does that compare to the attention given to the Brisenia case?
It doesn't. Comparatively, the Brisenia case is no less sad, no less outrageous. The only difference is that she was Latina. And please don't misconstrue my intent. This isn't to take a victim stance, to say poor-are-we because our victim of heinous crime didn't get the same attention as the little white girl. This is simply to point out a very real circumstance that has as much to do with the overblown coverage of the Casey trial as it does with the lack of attention to the Brisenia trial. The biggest difference now is that the Brisenia trial is not yet over. Two of the three defendants have been found guilty, the third trial is under way. I'm wondering if Nancy Grace will have something to say about that.

Being killed by your parent is more shocking than being killed by a random group of vigilantes. That's kinda to be expected if you parents have "drug money" just lying around the house…
Are you stupid? Seriously, how on EARTH is being killed by a RANDOM GROUP OF VIGILANTES somehow less "shocking"? Read the words that you just typed! RANDOM! GROUP! OF! VIGILANTES! That's straight out of a Tom Clancy novel. Get real.
The people who murdered Brisenia impersonated police offers and forced their way into the home. The murderers BELIEVED the Flores family had "drug money" they could steal and use to fund their extremist group. The Flores family had no such thing. Nice try at victim-blaming.
The Flores case is even worse, IMO. It wasn't like she found herself in a case similar to Caylee's, where her death was caused by a neglectful parent and she just happened to be Latina, no. Her case is that she was killed strictly because she was Latina. That the only reason she and her family were targeted were because of race, and that had she not been Latina, she'd still be around. So of course it won't get any coverage. Not only because she's Latina, but because of the reasons she was murdered. It's easy to tackle a trashy mother and and talk about her horrendous acts because the story reeks of a dime-store novel but Flores..her case is too heinous and the deeper intent is more malicious than just being a careless mother with no concern for her childs' welfare. Delving into the Flores case would force journalists to face and acknowledge the system in place , and no one truly wants to be responsible for opening that pissed-off and tired can of worms.
The difference is, our borders are not as bad as we say they are. The president and some Hollywood people say so. We don't need more BP agents. We don't need more law enforcement. Shame on us for thinking we do. I certainly hope you read the sarcasm in that load of bull Poop!!! I will be following this and I hope that Arizona does a better job at handing out justice. I will leave my porch light on for this sweet little girl. Hope you keep us updated on this story. (I think these people need to come live in a border town. I bet they go out and buy a gun)
Agreed that it deserves as much media attention, and perhaps more because of its wider societal implications. I only disagree on one point, the Caylee story had the additional horror of the murder being committed by the child's own mother – vastly different from armed vigilante strangers.

Thank you for writing this.
The discrepancy in coverage says everything. Reminds me of the similar JonBenét Ramsey and Girl X coverage from a while back. Certain narratives get national media scrutiny (and, subsequently, the ire, empathy, sympathy, etc.) of the public at large and others do not and to claim that there is not an underlying reason for it is insanity. When one starts asking why, the answers that come aren't usually pretty. thanks for the good work, sir.

Four Mavs might draw Jamison
The Wizards, on the other hand, are still feeling the aftershocks of losing Larry Hughes on Jan. 15 for the next 4-6 weeks with a fractured right thumb, as was evident from their blowout loss in San Antonio on Jan. 17.
Still, even without Hughes, who's having a breakout year, the Jan. 18 Wizards-Mavs matchup has marquee value.
Antawn Jamison returns to Dallas for the first time since he won NBA Sixth Man Of The Year with the Mavericks last season. He was traded to the Wizards in a June 2004 deal that sent Jerry Stackhouse, Christian Laettner and the draft rights to Devin Harris to Dallas.
Both Jamison and Stackhouse have had outstanding seasons. Jamison has helped change the Wizards into Eastern Conference contenders and he will be out to remind the Mavericks' fans what they lost.
What are the Mavericks in for, and how might they plan to stop him?

I can not say enough good things about, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban . Not only is Malala a wonderful person, she is a gifted writer. Her descriptions of her Swat valley are both breathtaking and heartbreaking. She magnificently combines the normal childish pranks and plays with the looming presence of the Taliban.
I admit as an American, I do not completely understand everything that goes on in that part of the world. I have a better grasp of it now and am even more horrified at what innocent people are having to go through.
Malala is such an amazingly strong person. I credit both her mother and father, but primarily her father. He instilled such a love of learning in her. As a middle school teacher, it saddens me to see so many of my students not care about school, they barely make and effort, and aren't upset with the bad grades that they get. By contrast, Malala is a student willing to risk her life to get an education.
Amazing book, amazing person.

Mar 30, 2014 - The Associated PressGrizzly bear study progressing
JACKSON (AP) -- Federal managers of the Yellowstone region's grizzly bears say their work on the Endangered Species Act delisting process may be done this fall.
Grizzly Bear Recovery Coordinator Chris Servheen says the work involves completing a threats analysis, after which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may decide whether to propose delisting. That would begin another process of proposals and public comment that could go well into next year.
New bison plan to be considered
HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- The state of Montana and the National Park Service say they will collect information for a possible new plan to manage bison herds at Yellowstone National Park that have long been subject to slaughter over concerns they could spread disease. Agencies are trying to conserve a viable wild population of Yellowstone bison while reducing the risk of brucellosis transmission to livestock. About half of Yellowstone's 4,600 bison test positive for the disease, which causes pregnant animals to prematurely abort their young. Under the 2000 agreement, thousands of bison were killed as they attempted to leave the park.
Firm fined over reporting in state

-- for not submitting reports. It later turned in the information.
The company has 30 days to contest the fine. If it's upheld, the fine will be paid to the federal government.

Doing the magic loop for the first time. And noticing with every round I seem to be gaining a stitch. What could I be doing wrong? I don't see the holes that would normally show up with a yarnover so I don't think that's it..but don't know how each round is getting an extra stitch. Any ideas?
Can you tell where the extra stitch is? I sometimes have the yarn over the needle at the end of the stitches where the cable loops, mostly it happens when I'm using sock yarn and seeing the extra stitch can be difficult.
I'm assuming since you're using magic loop that you're knitting a fairly small diameter, so would it be possible to tink back one whole row to see where you might have added an extra stitch? Sometimes undoing what you did (slowly so you don't make another mistake) can help.
If you're not doing a yarn over, the only other thing I can think of is that you may have accidentally picked up a stitch between stitches. I sometimes snag the row below when I set my work down or even when I'm pulling yarn through the stitches. This usually pulls the yarn up and the rows below are not even. Do you see anything unusual like that?
Sorry you're having problems with this. Stick with it. Eventually, you'll be magic looping with your eyes closed!
Sometimes when you're doing magic loop the tip of a needle can dip under at the joins and pick up a stitch. It's usually just the top thread from between stitches. If you come across what looks like a YO, but you don't have any then just slip the needle back under and move on. Once you are of aware of it and get more practice it won't be a problem. Only happens to me occasionally.
Yeah, what they said up there. I sometimes will catch the leg of a stitch in the row below too. I'm not sure which method I used for an inadvertent increase the other day but it was a few stitches from the end of the needle and I couldn't find it for the longest time. I was so ready to get rid of it I didn't take time to try to figure out what I'd done.
Well, I did a round extra slowly paying super close attention. Found where part of the extra stitches are coming from...at the end of the ...what would you call it, half a round? I had the cable under my yarn causing it to loop around. Fixed that problem at least. This is basically a learning project for my own use anyway, fingerless mitt. So while I'd love for it to end up perfect, I also know there's bound to be mistakes while I'm learning I'll do a couple more rounds and see if I've finally stopped gaining stitches. Thanks all.
I'm glad you figured that out! I don't know how many endless spirals I've knitted doing socks and sweaters and hats but I do know I still count stitches to make sure it's coming out right. It's easier with ribbing. If I'm up or down a stitch at the loop (yeah, what do we call it? The more or less half-way point?) it's obvious. If after a couple of rounds you're not doing it anymore you're a much better knitter than I am. You probably are anyhow.
My problem when doing magic loop for the first time was figuring out where to position the working yarn. They don't show you this in any of the magic loop videos. I was getting an unwanted yarn over when switching needles. I was placing my yarn behind both needles like you would for straight knitting. Your yarn needs to be coming from inside the tube. Every time I switch needles, if my yarn is BETWEEN the front and back needles then I know I'm doing it right.

Meanwhile from Birmingham
"Mrs King's (the judge's) judgment in Family Court proceedings totally demolishes the council's claim that nothing more could have been done to save Khyra because her mother had withdrawn her from school to educate her at home.
This was the line relied upon by Birmingham children's director Tony Howell and cabinet member Les Lawrence, who told a media briefing that legislation giving parents the right to withdraw children from school gave local authorities no powers to enter houses to inspect the arrangements for schooling at home.
In fact, as Mrs Justice King points out, the council had sufficient powers under the Children Act to enter the house where Khyra was being held."
News in the Telegraph of the crippled social services department in Birmingham. We have been saying it all along. Social services are woefully underfunded and not just in Birmingham and there would be no point wasting money on a universal inspection service of all HEors when social services can't even manage families known to be at risk.

My heart really goes out to Mr I H in this case. He has been the fall guy when frankly he made a minor error. He defensively (who can blame him) told the Judge he had over 300 families on his case load and not so much as a secretary to help him keep things organised.
Even if Angela Gordon had never removed the children, I think it likely poor Khyra would have died because no IA was done.
And Mr I H would still have that case load and then if the Bill had passed and he was still the EWO (He has retired) he would suddenly have an even bigger case load. How on earth would that prevent another case like this happening again?
Umm I need to blog on this I think.

About MeI want to be perfect for something.. or many somethings..
I'd like to be molded into a sought after model who can manage the perfect pose or position, until the money shots just came rollin' in.
But that's not as of yet. So, I aspire to be your muse, to follow the flow regardless of direction.
I'd love to work with artists that still have the passion for the perfect shot.
I'm no vet, but I'm far from green. What I lack in experience, I make up for in so much more than fits in this tidy box.
...but.... its amazing what you can fit on that camera..
i'm down to create anything.. just share with me,and we can conquer the world..
one image at a time.
so the question is...
will you see me as your muse..
whether a photographer uses photoshop or not, my hair is Luscious Red Raspberry
99% of the time. which means this fierce, bold red you see is true to color. it also means that if you want a black light shoot... i glow.. just so you know.
And finally... I'm finally able to stray from TFP shoots. Thank you so much to everyone I've worked with so far, you're helping become the best model I can possibly be..
Thank you for your continued patience and direction.. It's always a pleasure working with you...

University of South Carolina head football coach Steve Spurrier wants participants in the Southeastern Conference championship game to be chosen based on their record against division opponents – not their record against the conference at large.
"Your division champ should be decided on division games," Spurrier said last week. "Last year, it wasn't fair for Tennessee and Florida. They both played LSU and Alabama. Us and Georgia didn't. So, us or Georgia almost had to win the division simply because of the schedule."
Obviously Spurrier's real motivation in pointing this out has nothing to do with Tennessee and Florida – and everything to do with the fact that his squad went 5-0 against the SEC East last year. In other words according to Spurrier it should have been his Gamecocks – not the Bulldogs – representing the division in Atlanta last December (a point reinforced by USC's 45-42 victory over UGA in Athens).
We don't necessarily disagree with that, but we're not sold on Spurrier's convoluted way of saying that his team was better than Mark Richt's squad a year ago.
Tinkering with the SEC championship formula is obviously a big deal as five of the last six national champions also won the SEC title game (the only exception being last year's Alabama squad, which beat SEC champion LSU for their second title in three years). It's not something that should be done lightly – especially not prior to this year's expansion.
Up until 2012, SEC teams played five games against division foes and three against opponents in the other division. And obviously the SEC West has been far superior in recent years – boasting the last three national championships and three of last year's top five finishing teams. This year – with the addition of Texas A&M to the SEC West and Missouri to the SEC East – there will be six division games and only two inter-divisional match ups.
Frankly, that makes Spurrier's argument even less valid in our opinion. Now more than ever before, if a team beats its division opponents the rest should take care of itself. Of course the flip side of that argument is that with only two non-division games on the schedule in 2012, an SEC team is much more likely to be able to "pull a Georgia" and draw the weakest opponents in the other division.
Still, the last time we checked Spurrier had only himself to blame for the one loss that kept the Gamecocks from clinching their second consecutive SEC East crown.

But with time and work, hopefully it will be as good as it was in my "Risuave" days.
Haha yes! We all need new music! She could release more songs during the year though, like Sweeter Than Fiction. Or as featured artist like Highway Don't Care. She says that with every album, but we can see she's gonna release something BIG! =D Really? I think some of the songs will, but not something like Sad Beautiful Tragic or The Last Time. I'm really excited as well! =D

This is a rare, Colonial home with columns and 3200 square feet that dates back to 1837 and sits on 12.5 acres in the middle of a 200 home subdivision, only 18 minutes and one traffic light from downtown Nashville. There 3/4 br and 2.5 baths. There is a tennis club house that has 720 sq.ft to the rear with a bath and kitchen that is used by members of Summer Crest tennis Club. A3/4 mile walking trail circles the property and connects to the city park. Also a barn, ping pong table, horse shoes , basketball goal are here .and a swim club a mile away with a golf course. Several golf courses can be found within five miles; also wide side strip on hwy 41 for biking. Mall 7 min away. Wifi available. Many parking spaces available (80). Nashville is the country music capital; Grand Ole Opry and Opryland Hotel only 20 min away, where you can get a grand show and ride on the General Jackson Steamboat on the Cumberland River. The Opryland Hotel is amazing and contains its own river and arboretum
Close to Downtown, Cenntenial park with the Parthenon, Nashville Zoo. Many tours to homes of music stars and other attractions. We are 1.5 hours drive from Bonaroo in June in Tullahoma, TN. Close by wineries and other parks with 2 mile running trail along Mansker Creek, water parks both north and south, Nashville by Opryland and Bowling green. It is like having your own personal retreat and resort area!!
The house was great. If you listen to Wilson everything works. The only thing was you couldn't get an uber or lyft from that far from downtown. It's actually about 30 minutes from downtown. You can take rides back but not to downtown.
We had a quickie trip from Mississippi to Nashville in August to help my wife's daughter to move in her new home. We saw Summer Crest and I am a tennis player and even though I saw the last people rated the place a 2 with all others a 5, I saw they had an opening so I decided to call and book a Stay. One of the best choices I ever made!The owner helped me find tennis players while others went and worked on setting up the new house. There are many items at Summer Crest that have never been at other vacation homes at which I have stayed. My wife and I thought the ground were beautiful, and the house large and charming. With the help of the owner we were able to navigate Nashville and avoid areas of traffic congestion and construction. Everything we did seemed only 15 or 20 minutes away and the little store a few blocks away was a real added plus. When we were there the temperature was in the high 90's and we slept upstairs. We followed the owners instruction on the a/c and never had any problem with the rooms being hot. Everyone to their own thing, but this place gets a 5 star rating from us and it seems they have a gust book going back years with rave reviews written in it. I wondered why there were not some of these on the review page and the owners told us that they did not encourage reviews until this Summer when Home Away down graded them for not having may reviews.There were 6 of us - for 6 days. I don't see how people can go wrong staying there, unless you want to be in the middle of the downtown Nashville scene. Thank you Summer Crest for a great value!
My family met for a family reunion in TN. 8 adults and 5 children stayed very comfortably at the home and a total of 37 of us visited comfortably for the weekend. The property was great for the kids, the rooms very comfortable even with the massive heat that weekend, we stayed cool inside! Our hosts were very nice people . We loved our time together as a family and this home made our stay that much more enjoyable.
Our family had our reunion here and agreed that the setting is beautiful and the owners were very nice. The house is really old and consequently was musty. Also, as stated in the last review, there are only 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The
aerobed in the living room does not count as a bedroom. One of the bedrooms had little to no air conditioning which was a trial being in July. We had four couples so it was inconvenient because there were really only two bedrooms that were adequate/comfortable. One couple decided to sleep on the
couches in the den. Even though the owners were very kind, we would not recommend for four couples.
The grounds are really beautiful and the owner was extremely helpful. It was peaceful and quiet. There was only 3 bedrooms, not 4 and the house wasn't very clean. For the price, we felt it should have been better cleaned. The pool that is a mile away is in a sad state of disrepair and couldn't be used.
We stayed here during the CMA Festival and enjoyed our stay SO much! It was a charming place to relax, get away from the crowds of Nashville, and enjoy the company of friends. Our group was two families that included four college kids from New Mexico. There was plenty of space for all of us and the home and grounds were inviting and comfortable. We enjoyed the walking path, watching fireflies, and sitting around the kitchen table visiting. We took some incredible photos with the barn and beautiful yard as the backdrop. The only thing we wish we would have been able to change is having a couple more days to relax and enjoy spending more time at this beautiful property. Mr. Webb was very helpful and gave terrific suggestions to make our commute to Nashville significantly easier. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to be able to return one day. Thank you so much for the memories we will treasure!

Arsène Wenger has not pursued a claim for compensation in the wake of Thomas Vermaelen's extended lay-off.
The Belgian centre back returned from a Euro 2012 qualifier in Turkey in September with an Achilles complaint. At the time he was expected to return to action within a week but Vermaelen has not played since.
Wenger told Arsenal TV Online on Wednesday that the 25-year-old is not likely to play before the end of January and, at his pre-match press conference on Thursday, the manager was asked if he would seek damages from the Belgian FA.
"We have not asked for it," replied Wenger.
"The simple reason is that at first it was three or four days and now it is three or four months. It was an official game in Turkey so I don't know if we have a chance to do that [seek compensation]."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Earlier this year, I broke a story that Spicy Horse was creating a sequel to America McGee's darkly veiled, Alice. Today, the developer has released a teaser site featuring a creepy video of Alice laying on a couch being examined by a psychiatrist. While the amount of remakes floating around the entertainment industry hardly make the news all too surprising, the look and feel of the teaser video truly leaves me wanting a bit more. If this project ultimately fails as a video game, the potential for it to be a mini-series is definitely there in full force.
We've included the video below.

New Zealand captain Rebecca Smith has had her impressive efforts rewarded by being named 2011 Oceania women's footballer of the year.
The defender held off the challenge of a raft of the Pacific's finest players to receive the accolade after 12 months of both personal milestones and major contributions to team success.
It is the first time Smith has received the award and her recognition retained the Kiwi stranglehold in the category since it was introduced in 2008.
The Germany-based Smith wrote herself into the folklore of the women's game in New Zealand at last year's women's World Cup in Germany, where she scored in her side's 2-2 draw with Mexico as the Football Ferns earned their first ever point at the event.
For those efforts, she was one of only two New Zealand players to be singled out as an 'outstanding player' by Fifa at the tournament - the other being fellow nominee Katie Hoyle.
The 31-year-old achieved a personal milestone in 2011 when she played her 50th international in a friendly against Australia in May, while she also continued to carve out a professional career overseas with Frauen Bundesliga outfit VfL Wolfsburg.
The men's award, won last year by All Whites captain Ryan Nelsen, went to New Caledonia striker Bertrand Kai - the first time since 2008 the award has gone to a player not from New Zealand.
Kai edged New Zealand nominees Winston Reid, Shane Smeltz, Chris Wood and Daniel Koprivcic, while Smith triumphed over teammates Hoyle, Sarah Gregorius, Ria Percival and Ali Riley.
The OFC player of the year awards have been made annually since 1988, with players from Australia and New Zealand traditionally dominating the list.

After shaving weight off vehicles in recent years, carmakers are concentrating on streamlining shapes to save fuel.
The focus is on reducing friction or drag from air, which increases with vehicle speed. Tiny changes can make a big difference.
A car's drag coefficient defines the vehicle's smoothness related to its shape. The lower the coefficient, the less energy a car needs to move.
Fortunately, the minor modifications to improve the wind-cheating qualities of a car cost little when compared to the complicated technical advances needed to make engines more fuel-efficient.
"A lower cw- [air resistance] value means less fuel used," said Professor Jochen Wiedemann of the Research Institute of Automotive Engineering and Vehicle Engines Stuttgart (FKFS). His words were echoed by Teddy Woll, who is in charge of aerodynamic development at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart.
"An improvement in the cw-value of 0.01 in a test cycle means a drop of one gram of C02 per kilometre."
In terms of everyday driving, which consumes more fuel, this can lead to reduced carbon dioxide emissions too - in this case around 2 grams.
Since the effect of a reduced drag coefficient increases with speed, the savings made when a car is cruising at 150km/h amount to 5 grams of C02 less, said Woll.
The VW XL1 concept shows what can be achieved in the bid to make air flow more efficiently under and over a car.
It boasts a cw-coefficient of 0.19, making it the most aerodynamic production car yet, with average fuel consumption of 1 litre per 100km.
The futuristic design features a narrower rear end and rear wheel covers.
"We pared down every detail," said Steven Volckaert, who works for VW's development team. Every gap in the bodywork was smoothed over and the underside of the car encapsulated to reduce friction.
Rear side-view cameras replace mirrors. "That alone saves a tenth of a litre," said Volckaert.
The faired-in rear wheels of the XL1 mean only a few centimetres of the tyre are visible. This can cause the rear brakes to overheat and makes changing a punctured tyre tricky, with the result that such solutions are unlikely to feature on most cars.
Mercedes has come up with what it terms "the aerodynamically optimised wheel arch". According to chief aerodynamic expert Woll it is one of the reasons why the new CLA manages a cw value of 0.22 - the lowest of any production car.
The greatest contribution to this was made by patented serrated wheel spoilers, which reduce undesirable air turbulence in the wheel arches.
BMW's similar "Air Curtain" and "Air Breather", which are being fitted to a growing number of models, function in much the same way.
"Starting with the 3-Series GT we are going to be fitting this to a lot of models," said chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk.
Ford is taking things a step further with its Atlas pick-up concept vehicle. It features Active Grille Shutters which open at low speeds, or when additional cooling is needed, but close to improve aerodynamics at steady highway speeds.
The concept is used on the wheels, too, where Active Wheel Shutters close at high speed.
Wiedemann believes this idea is not practicable for everyday use, partly because of malfunctions owing to the dirt and snow of winter. "But you don't have to go to such lengths," said the expert.
The correct choice of tyres can improve the aerodynamic qualities of a car considerably.
"The solutions being put forward promise to be very effective and are comparatively easy to implement," said the expert, with an eye to more costly alternatives such as lightweight bodywork or diesel-electric hybrid propulsion.
For example, a 10 per cent reduction in vehicle weight leads to a drop of 5-7 per cent in C02 emissions in the standard driving cycle. This equates to a drop in C02 output of more than 100kg over the life of a car at a cost of about €1000 ($1700) per vehicle.
To match such savings, average cw values would need to be slashed by 20 per cent. Yet doing so would not cost half as much, since it could be achieved using plastic panels, spoilers and subtle shape changes.
Mercedes expert Woll put it more plainly: "An aerodynamic form does not cost a cent more to make than one that is not aerodynamic. There is no cheaper way to cut down on C02 emissions."

Smoothing out a painted and not painted drywall surface
I just removed some cabinets from a wall and now want to paint the wall. However, part of the wall is painted (where the cabinet was not) and the other part is not painted (where the cabinet covered). So now I am trying to figure out how to smooth the two levels so that when I repaint the entire wall it will not be noticeable. I tried sanding with 120 grit, but this did not make any improvement. Do I need to add compound to blend the two sections together? Or, what would you suggest?
A couple thin coats of joint compund should do it. Then prime the joint compound after sanding it smooth.
Yes, matthew has it right... just a skim of slightly thinned premix J/C on the boundries and then a good sanding. I find that a roll with some nice, thick, stain-blocking primer (I use SW PrepRite ProBlock Latex), on top of that provides a nice hefty amount of roller stipple that will help you blend into the existing surface.
Sometimes a good carbide paint scraper will help to knock down the highest painted area where the paint met the cabinet; then as others have said, use drywall mud. I like to use hot mud...but either will work.
Thank you all for your suggestions...I was concerned you would be able to see where the compound was behind the paint because of the smoothness. It sounds like a thick primer will create the texture im looking for to blend into the existing walls. Thanks again!

Wenger: Stoke's penalty was a nice gift
Arsene Wenger called referee Michael Jones' decision to award Stoke's match-winning penalty "a nice gift" as the Gunners suffered "a massive setback" in losing 1-0, and in the process fell four points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.
• Mangan: Title hopes fade
Jon Walters struck from the spot at the Britannia on Saturday after Laurent Koscielny had been adjudged to have handled the ball in the box late in the second half.
"It was a nice gift from the referee," Wenger said. "Koscielny is one yard away. He has no time. How can he take his hand away? He has no chance.
"It was a generous penalty. I can show you 10 videos of that situation when a penalty isn't given."
Wenger also admitted the defeat was a "massive setback" in Arsenal's title bid, with Chelsea taking full advantage of the slip up with a 3-1 win at Fulham.
"To win a title -- when you're expected to perform, you have to perform. It's as simple as that," Wenger continued.
"It is not a slight worry, it is a massive setback. We didn't create enough and they defended very well. Our performance today wasn't good enough.
"We are unlucky to lose this game, but our offensive game was poor."
Wenger also defended his decision to leave Mesut Ozil on the bench until the 66th minute, when he replaced Lukas Podolski.
Ozil was left out of the squad for Arsenal's home win over Sunderland last weekend, following his crucial penalty miss in the 2-0 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich amid criticism of his recent performances.
"He [Ozil] was fit to start," said Wenger. "He has played many, many games, and he came on at the right moment I think."

Any vision of knowledge societies must affirm the core aspirations for peaceful and sustainable knowledge societies in a way that acknowledges the interests of all stakeholders. It is essential to recall that knowledge societies are concerned with human development, not only with technological innovation and its impacts. In this report, we focus on the importance of freedom of expression and freedom of information, universal access to information and knowledge, quality education for all, and respect for linguistic and cultural diversity. We underline the key role of learning and training processes, grassroots initiatives and stakeholders' participation, and policies to achieve a fair balance between public and private interests.

Labour's Tukituki candidate Anna Lorck is calling for NZ Post to be more transparent about the impending shift of the Flaxmere PostShop to a host business.
Ms Lorck said after residents expressed concerns about the shift of the PostShop, she conducted a survey, to which she received "an overwhelming response" from about 250 people.
The survey indicated the PostShop was "a vital part of the community" and the services it offered needed to remain in Flaxmere, particularly for use by the elderly.
A NZ Post spokeswoman said the state-owned enterprise announced in April it would shift services from the Flaxmere PostShop to another local business.
NZ Post and Kiwibank would continue to provide services in Flaxmere with a physical place where people were able to access the services.
New Zealand Post was talking to retailers and other businesses about taking over the provision of New Zealand Post and Kiwibank services.
Postal and banking services would not be affected while the search for a new provider was underway.
However, Ms Lorck said Flaxmere residents needed greater clarity on the shift.
"What concerns me is why Flaxmere is not being kept informed, it's the fear of the unknown and the community deserves more than being kept in the dark, particularly those who are customers of PostShop, which is part of a state-owned enterprise.
"We know there are a couple of local businesses which have expressed an interest as alternative providers because they know it's important to keep the services in the village, but having spoken to one of them, this would be a last resort and more detail is needed."
Flaxmere councillor Henare O'Keefe said he had been assured the PostShop wasn't closing. "One of our retailers is in negotiations regarding taking over the franchise."
Mr O'Keefe suggested there would be "a bit of to-ing and fro-ing" before a final decision is made.

2. Re: Object and class relationship807582 Feb 11, 2004 11:27 PM (in response to 800560)An object of a given class does what the class was designed to do. If you don't know what that is, you need to read that class's documentation (API, javadoc).
3. Re: Object and class relationship807582 Feb 12, 2004 7:22 AM (in response to 807582)hi,
u can use get the object from the arraylist by using the getter methods and assign it to a Object pointer of the Class type by typecasting it and then use the object to do whatever u want with it,
u can use something like this
1. int index=def.lastIndexOf(<object>);
2. Appointment abc =(Appointment)def.get(index);
and if u know the index of the object in the arraylist u can skip line 1.
4. Re: Object and class relationship807582 Feb 12, 2004 7:24 AM (in response to 807582)oops. ...
sorry i did not see the ListArrayBased class , i mistook it for ArrayList , but even then if it works the same way as an ArrayList it should work,

By Tim Knauss Staff writer Beginning today, employees at the Upstate utility formerly known as Niagara Mohawk will answer the phone the same way utility employees in Massachu- setts, Rhode Island, New Hamp- shire and the United Kingdom answer the phone: "National Grid." The British company that bought Niagara Mohawk in 2002 has decided that all of its subsid- iaries will do business under a common banner. The change happens today. Company officials want to create a single, global brand that befits the world's fourth-largest investor-owned utility, said Ed Powers, of National Grid pic. Locally, the change might take some getting used to. Gone is the verbal association with the rivers where Niagara Mohawk originally derived power. Gone, too, the feel of a hometown company in Syracuse. "If you were born and raised in this town, Niagara Mohawk has always been there, you said Richard Durant, who started as a meter reader in 1957 and retired in 1991 as a district manager. "Now it's not going to be there." Operationally, nothing will change.

NATIONAL PAGE A-l 2 INSIDE: Sean Kirst on the end of a historic INSIDE By Amber Smith Staff writer Diabetics won't have to re- peatedly prick their fingers to monitor their blood sugar levels, using an invention for which a DeWitt chemist is scheduled to receive a award today. Joseph Chaiken, a professor of chemistry at Syracuse Universi- ty, will travel to Washington, D.C., to receive his prize from the Christopher Columbus Fel- lowship Foundation, a federal government agency. He and his team have come up with a painless, noninvasive way to examine blood using a laser and special filters to read spec- troscopic signals in the blood. They've gotten several patents and are preparing to work through the Food and Drug Adminis- tration approv- als process. Eventually Chaiken tney believe their device will be able to ex- amine more than just blood sugar levels but also cholesterol, proteins and triglycerides, other blood components that doctors now monitor by sending blood samples in test tubes to labora- tories. Dr. Ruth Wcinstock, director of Upstate Medical University's Joslin Diabetes Center, sees the more immediate benefit of the laser for diabetic patients, whose fingers get sore and callused from having to prick their fin- gers to monitor their blood levels multiple times per day. "If we could measure blood sugar levels noninvasively, with- out pricking the finger, it would have many she said. It wouldn't hurt, there wouldn't be a risk of spreading blood-born diseases, and moni- toring could be done more fre- quently, perhaps continually. Chaiken said a clinical model of the LighTouch device could be in doctor's offices and hospi- tals two years from now, with a home model available within a year after that. It almost didn't happen. Chaiken in 1997 was interest- ed in optical memory systems and had been in conversations with a Pennsylvania business- man, Don Schmucker, and his partner, Paul Shaheen. Schmuck- er asked Chaiken what he thought about developing a way to monitor blood glucose with- out the fingerstick.
