Date of Stay: October, 2016
Compared to what this park used to be like it was disappointing to say the least. There seem to be allot of campers in no hurry to leave and looks like they live there fulltime. Extended stays and some yearly passes have attracted some undesirable looking campers. Used to be no one could stay longer than 2 weeks. Next to us an empty camper whole time except a woman came by to update her spot for another 21 days. I was told she was allowed to break the rules for her husband was in hospital. So to me if one person does there must be others bending the rules. Speeding cars with loud boom boxes, large group gathering, vicious dogs across from us preventing my wife from using the bathroom when they were out. When we complained about the large group they said the Sherriff did have to be called but why did it have to come to that? It should have been prevented long before it got out of control. When we mentioned the dogs and the piles of poop they hadn't noticed.. Again just a drive by you couldn't miss. Use to be a time you see a ranger about 3 or 4 times an hour. I think I saw one once in 3 days. Adult pool was newly updated was nice. I went to several activities but no one else showed up. It was off season but I think there use to be a time people were there to have fun. Only one group maybe was having that but had to be thrown out for having too much fun. Obviously staff is short handed and unable to keep a close eye enforcing the rules. Staff was very nice and apologetic. I usually don't like to rate parks based on campers because they're probably gone by the time anyone read the reviews, but not in this case. Cell phone use is spotty and WiFi is not free except at clubhouse.

This park is 7.4 miles south of Bishop then turn right on Keoughs Hot Springs Rd for .6 miles. Small park with only 10 sites with water and electric. Next to a mobile home park. A bit convoluted in arrangement around trees and rocks. Lots of shade and some nice grass sites. This is our second time here most recent only made reservation 2 days in advance and got last spot available. They also have tent cabins and dry camping. This is a unique place with lots of history. The pools at the hot springs were built in 1919. Largest pool is 100x40 ft and is kept at perfect temperature with a spray system mixture of hot spring water and cold water and is drained and filled weekly. There is $8 a day charge for campers $12 for non-campers. $2 for showers. There is a small nature hiking trail nearby. There is also hot spring creek runs through the resort and goes to an area outside the park about 1/2 mile away the public uses for free soaking. We haven't ventured out to see what that's like. This is easy to find quiet relaxing resort that's a little dated but it is almost a hundred years old after all.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
For the price wasn't expecting much but this was a nice surprise. They give you coupons for two free drinks at the casino. And few dollars off diners and discounts on gift shop purchases. Although this isn't on the lake some sites have a partial view. A nearby park was booked and from the road looked packed in tight. I didn't have reservations here but there were plenty openings. Pool was crystal clean like it suppose to be but a bit chilly. Clean showers and restrooms. Have horseshoes pits. This turned out to be a great stopover with handy gas station. The casino has live entertainment and daily specials. To me this beats the other nearby RV park cramped in to just to have a views of a lake. I'm sure cost much more too.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
They have 3 price ranges to choose from. We chose the middle range which gives you little more space and views of the rock wall and little further back from the road. All sites are gravel. Pull thru sites were most expensive. The check-in woman wasn't all that friendly. Her mood changed when we ask to change spots. The spot we ask to get was supposedly taken and so we chose another and of coarse the 1st choice was never occupied. The restrooms were some of the cleanest we've seen. But the pool at the motel was cloudy so we decided not to use it. They have a dog run and hiking trails behind the resort at the base of the mountain. Also on-site restaurant we didn't eat at. The have free propane BBQ's and a nice fire pit area to sit at. They have swings, volleyball and horseshoes. This area is very pretty with West Walker River across the highway.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
We Stayed here 3 years ago and nothing much has changed including the cloudy pool that we decided not to use. The price of coarse went up some. They also charge for extra people and when I made reservations told them 4 adults coming but one of them canceled and I mentioned that when I checked in they penciled it in but I just realized they still charged me for 4. They still have free muffins juice and coffee in the morning at the clubhouse. This is a good spot for an over night. We stayed in the back so road noise not a problem. The little western theme park is decorated nice with pretty views of surrounding areas. We spent more time around Lone Pine this trip. Must see is nearby Movie Museum even if your not a movie buff this museum is done up really nice. Then go see Alabama Hills Rec area to see where 100's of movies and TV shows were shot. Movie road turnoff is not marked and dirt. But you don't have to go far to get an idea of its surrounding beauty. Also a good starting point if you arrive from the south of town is a beautiful Visitor Center with ample parking at the junction 395 and 136 to Death Valley. Here I also learned that what I always thought the tallest looking mountain was not Mt. Whitney was actually barely visible from the road or much further back making it appear smaller. The whole area of Owens Valley geology is fascinating this center tells all about it with lots of good books to choose from.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
One of the nicest things about all San Diego County parks is on their website you can look at all campsite photos and select your choice of what is available. Which helps looking for shade, privacy or size needed. We chose the electric site to use AC for a hot weekend expected for about $5 more a night as others noted no generators are allowed. Camp fires were surprisingly allowed in fire pits. Well paved interior roads clean restrooms and free showers. Some electric sites are a bit tight in a circle but ours had nobody on one side because of a trail head. Tent camping had some very nice secluded sites. There are cabins to rent horseshoe pits, play equipment for kids. Lots of nice nearby hiking trails with views of desert on one trail. Town of Julian very popular with tourist is only 5 miles away. Sadly they are losing abundance of Oak trees to Oak borer beetle and the 2003 Cedar fire lost about 70% of the area but is slowly recovering from that. It is still a very pretty and woodsy park.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
Very well maintained clean park. Sites had picnic tables. They were bit narrow, but shrubs separating your neighbors. We liked the pool and spa, but my health inspector companion noted pool needed some resurfacing. Nice slider bench swings throughout resort. Nice areas to bike around nearby Greenbelt Parks along the bay. For nature lovers within a bike ride is Chula Vista Nature Center surrounded by Wildlife Refuge. We also enjoyed the DJ playing music for all ages that had several couples dancing. Food and drinks were also served for small fee.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
This was a stop over with easy access off the 395. Local girl at check in was very nice and knowledgeable what the area had to offer. Nicely western themed, decorated grounds with cute wagon wheel swings. Large shady pull through sites. Swimming pool was busy and a bit cloudy. We arrived during a heat wave; temp outside was 111. Clean restrooms/showers. Large nicely decorated clubhouse where muffins were served in morning. Well stocked gift and basic supply store. Would have liked to spend more time here and explore the area.
Date of Stay: November, 2012
I last reviewed this park July 2010. Not many changes. Flies were present but not bothersome. They're not the biting kind and never entered the RV even leaving the door open on occassion. We didn't attempt to eat outside but noticed several sites had screened-in areas set up. Plus, we seemed to be in a duck/geese central area. They liked to make a lot ruckus but are mostly quiet at night. Sometimes did get a whiff of nearby dairy. Other than that it is still fun to watch all the birds and ride bikes around. Basketball court was newly resurfaced but still needed new nets. Pool was warm clean, and spa jets felt great. Lodge buildings are aging a bit They have several pool tables. They need a new ping pong table. Well stocked store. Adult pool was closed for season a little earlier than sceduled for maintenance issues. It was to be open while we were there. Several activities were planned but there was not much participation.
Date of Stay: February, 2012
Sites are tight between Date Palm trees. Pull through sites are long with plenty room for tow car parking. Back-in sites are more crowded as you are backed up close to your neighbor. Freeway noise unless park far in back.Pool spa clean with right temps. Showers had tile floor and walls glass doors with large changing room with a separate locking door. Lots of activities including pickle ball courts/ horseshoes/billiards/basketball (bent rim). We drove out to Joshua Tree about 45 min away for the day hiking around beautiful National park. Lots to do nearby Palm Springs including shopping, casinos,Tramway, museums and a popular weekly swap meet at College of the Desert campus I think was the name that had good deals.This resort very popular with snowbirds with very little turnaround for weekend campers to get in.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
This is located about 6 miles from the strip but walking distance to Boulder Station and a much farther walk to Sams Town which has a free shuttle. But we never used it for the last shuttle comes back too early. Sites are close together but we didn't have neighbors on either side of us. Several mature shade trees through out the park for shade. Has well kept pool and spa. Has small exercise room and a small dog run. Staff was very friendly and helpful in answering all questions. No cable TV but received several channels without it. Store onsite seemed well stocked. Salvation Army store at park entrance for bargain hunters.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
This is a hidden gem of a park. Gorgeous views all around. No crowds unlike Las Vegas thats only an hour away has millions visiting every year. Granted not much to do here except hike, bike and relax. We were here on a week night before a holiday weekend so the park had several opens spots. No reservations taken. Has a visitor center but currently no gift shop. Weather was perfect in the mid 80's. Large open level sites with tables and shade covers. Nice walk-in camp sites for tents with tables and BBQs pits.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
This was our second visit a year later. Price reflects weekday price and a coupon. Even though we arrived on a weekend with dry spot reserved from being sold out, learned they had an opening for hookups when we arrived, we hesitated but then they were nice to reduced the price. Camp host suggested using a water pressure gauge, I said didn't have one. He then gave me one to borrow another nice jester I thought. Pool area still had the issues as pointed out in previous review by my "pool inspector". Basketball goal net was missing. Other than that park still manicured perfectly. We love this place look forward to return.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This is a large park with medium size lots with tall trees. Good for bird watching around the canals. I didn't have any flies or smell issues during my stay but it wasn't real hot or any winds blowing. I would check to make sure Santa Ana winds aren't predicted before staying here. I ask at a meeting why they built next to a dairy farm or a chicken ranch and I was told the park although much smaller was here first. I'm also disappointed RV Park Review allowed a review from someone who didn't even camp here and insulted RVers.(Apr 09). I think RVers know the difference between a sewer smell and a dairy farm. This park did have a few maintenance issues but not as many as other Thousand Trails parks as of lately. Being this resort is used for sales tours it is little better kept up and not so short staff. But had no hot water at adult pool area. Mini-golf not that attractive in design and carpets worn. Basketball court had few cracks in concrete, nets needed replacements. Received several TV station from LA on just digital antenna. Both pools in good shape and clean. Being a membership resort I usually only point out the negatives but overall I would return again.. weather permitting.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
Willingness to pay $27 to dry camp in a area that can be done for free in nearby state park shows confidence in facilities here. Some of the overflow sites have better views than the high priced premium sites but its all gravel and can hear people walking around and of coarse generators running occasionally. We were able to get free Wi-Fi from our spot. Very friendly staff. Well groomed nicely landscaped park with decorative waterfalls. Has nice exercise equipment. Pool clean with perfect temp. Have a large spa plus 3 two person spas that gives a nice personal touch. But were a bit discolored and chipping. Spouse is a health inspector noticed this and other code violations that others probably wouldn't notice in pool area. But it keeps them from getting a perfect score but not keeping us from returning. They also have a discount for 1st time campers.

Erin woke up in Chleo's guest room, the sun was beaming in through the curtains filling the room with summer warmth. She rolled on to her back and stretched, feeling Chleo's silk pjs straighten with her, she could hear the kids out in the garden playing and smell a fry being cooked downstairs. She smiled, all her senses were happy. Then the memories of the night before flooded back. She remembered the cupboard with Josh, then being with Chleo and Billy, then Jane. Erin felt tears building up. She felt embarrassed all over again, she felt ashamed of herself, it had taken her years to get better and then in one instant she felt all the feelings of worthlessness and loneliness come back. She patted around for her phone. She found it and checked for calls, nothing. Not even a message from Josh. She wanted to call him, ask him what happened after she left. Erin dialled his number, knowing that she was being stupid. It rang for a while and she thought he wasn't going to answer.
''Hello?'', he croaked, obviously still in bed too.
''Hi'', Erin said quietly.
She heard him moving around in his bed, but he didn't speak.
''Are you ok?'', Erin asked.
''What happened when we left?''.
She heard him sigh.
''Nothing Erin'', he said, ''you left, then I left''.
''Are you there with her?''.
Erin was quiet, why was he being so snappy?
''Did I do something wrong?'', she asked him afraid of what he was going to say.
''No Erin'', he sounded sad, ''you didn't do anything wrong''.
''Do you want to meet up later and talk?''.
''I don't think that's a good idea'', Josh answered, ''I'll ring you later ok?''.
''Oh, ok then'', Erin replied.
Josh had hung up, no bye or anything. Erin sat up and pulled her knees to her. She didn't understand what was wrong. Maybe it had been a bad idea, what she and Josh had been doing. Whatever that had been. She heard Chleo coming up the stairs, calling down to Dan about something breakfast related. The bedroom door opened slowly and Chleo's head poked in. She smiled at Erin and came into the room, shutting the door behind her. She got onto the bed and crawled up beside her. Erin rested her head on Chleo's shoulder. They didn't say anything to each other, they just sat together. Silent tears ran down Erin's cheeks. Chleo wrapped her arms around her and rocked her slowly.
''It was a mistake'', Erin whispered, ''You were right when you didn't tell me he was home''.
''Aw Chicky Poo'', Chleo said sadly, ''there are so such things as mistakes, only lessons''.
Dean hadn't come home that night, but Billy didn't care. He didn't care about anything that Dean did anymore. He thought Dean could change, but obviously he couldn't. Seeing him act the way he did last night not just towards him but towards Josh, Erin and Chleo gave Billy the wake up call he really needed. He hummed happily as he made himself some coffee, he didn't feel angry or sad, he felt lighter. He opened the sliding doors leading to their little balcony and stood out there, looking out at the harbour. He heard the door open and close behind him, but he didn't turn. Dean was going to have to come to him.
''WHAT THE FUCK?'', Dean yelled.
Billy smiled to himself but still didn't turn. Dean stormed through the apartment and to the doors.
''Why are all my things in bags?'', he asked Billy, his hand on his hip.
''Because you're moving out'', Billy said happily as he brushed past him into the apartment, ''I rang your Mam, she's coming to collect you at 1''.
He looked at his watch.
''Wow that's like 15 minutes away'', he smiled.
''You can't just kick me out'', Dean exclaimed, panic all over his face.
''No, I think you'll find I can'', Billy said, he couldn't hide the delight in his voice, ''I pay the bills and I pay the rent and the apartment is in my name''.
Dean was speechless, his eyes darted around the apartment as he attempted to look calm.
''Well...'', he said still looking around, ''I want my...Scrubs box set back''.
''It's already packed'', Billy said calmly, washing his coffee cup, ''you should probably wait for your Mam down at the kerb, yknow she doesn't like to climb the stairs''.
Billy smiled triumphantly as Dean stormed into their bedroom, dragging the bags out of the apartment.
''You'll regret this'', he snapped, slamming the front door behind him.
Billy sat down on his couch and looked around, the place already seemed to have a happy glow about it. He felt just the way he had felt when he left hospital all those years ago, a different person, a free person.
Josh pulled up outside departures. Jane sat silently beside him in the passenger's seat. They had barely said a word to each other since he collected her that morning. He didn't know what to say to her. She turned to him as she opened the door.
''I'll ring you when I land'', she said quietly.
''Sure'', Josh said staring straight ahead.
''Ok then'', she said getting out.
She opened the back door and grabbed her suitcase, before turning towards the doors of the departure lounge, as Josh pulled away he looked back into the rear view mirror. Jane was still standing at the side of the path, staring after him. He would talk to her later, when he didn't have to look her in the eye.

Both Jurgen Klinsmann and U.S. Men's National Team fans everywhere breathed sighs of relief this morning amid word that midfielder Michael Bradley was back in full training with AS Roma after being sidelined for the past three weeks with a thigh injury.
Bradley's return gives him two weeks to get match fit and prepares for the USMNT's remaining qualifiers in October, first against Antigua & Barbuda on Oct. 12th, then against Guatemala on Oct. 16th. His return is crucial to the U.S. team's chances of fielding as strong a team as possible for the matches that will ultimately determine if their World Cup qualifying hopes remain alive.
No, the USA shouldn't need Bradley to beat Antigua & Barbuda, or to beat Guatemala at home, but the midfield's struggles in Jamaica illustrated just what the team misses when Bradley's dominant presence is missing.
What will be interesting to see is who Klinsmann fits around Bradley for the upcoming qualifiers. Jermaine Jones has long been preferred as a midfield partner, but Danny Williams' showing against Jamaica in Columbus (and his improving form with club side Hoffenheim) has him on the rise.
Klinsmann sees Bradley in a more advanced central midfield position than the anchor No. 6 role most recently filled by Williams. Jones tried playing Bradley's role in the September qualifiers but struggled badly in Kingston before showing some improvement in the return match in Columbus.
Here is the USMNT midfield we could see start vs. Antigua & Barbuda:
Before anybody even dares say it, NO this layout does NOT mean Bradley is a playmaker. It just shows how he will be in a more advanced role than Jones. This quartet would play behind two forwards, most likely Herculez Gomez and Jozy Altidore. As we have seen in the past, when Bradley and Jones are paired centrally neither really sits deep for the majority of the time. Both players tend to surge forward when they can. I would lay out the formation to look more like this, though it will probably too reminiscent of the Bob Bradley era for Klinsmann to ever concede he was playing a 4-4-2 with deep-lying central midfielders
What we will need to see is whether Klinsmann learned any lessons about leaving forwards stranded like the USMNT did in Kingston. That might prevent him from trotting out this attack, though it should be noted that having Landon Donovan in the lineup across from Clint Dempsey in midfield would give Herculez Gomez and Jozy Altidore much more support than they saw against Jamaica.
The game on Oct. 16th vs. Guatemala will be an interesting one because what Klinsmann tries to do will likely be determined largely by the result the USMNT manages in Antigua. If we stick to the notion that the USA will attak more at home, we could see this front six:
Some might ask why not just play Bradley in the deep role and slide Dempsey into the playmaking role (like this):
Klinsmann has never really used Bradley in an anchor role (though he has shown in the past on the club level that he can certainly handle that role well). For my money, if Klinsmann is convinced Zusi can handle a starting role (and he sure did impress against Jamaica) then I would personally love to see this front six go at Antigua & Barbuda as well as
Whichever way Klinsmann goes, his options are improved exponentially by the presence of Bradley, who brings a presence to the middle of the field no other American central midfielder does. Now all Klinsmann and the national team need is for Bradley to stay healthy for the next three weeks so he can resume his role as the indispensable backbone of the U.S. midfield.
"And yes, Messi may be small, but he's hard to knock off the ball because of his skill and low center of gravity. LD doesn't have those traits, so he's easier to muscle."
The reason Messi is hard to "muscle" is because, in addition to his ball skills,he is so quick and fast that it is hard to get a body on him.
Also, his teamates, most of whom are not a lot bigger than Leo, are mostly just like that and if you try to "take out" Messi and miss, you will probably wind up way out of position and no team is better and faster at exploiting that sort of blunder than Barca. So defenders are very wary of that entire teams quickness. Messi is his own play action pass. Speed kills.
Barca evolved their present style in part as a response to the bigger, stronger players from other countries.
Donovan has been a high level pro for about 14 years. In my view he is probably the most talented all around player the US has ever produced.
If stopping him was as simple and easy as putting a body on him, everyone would have done it by now.
It's not that easy.He's pretty good at figuring that sort of thing out and going where he needs to be.
"There is a logical reason why Roma, which was strongly linked to MB in the summer of 2011, waited until the summer of 2012 to pull the trigger. Quite simply, MB was not good enough in 2011 but he improved dramatically and was good enough by the summer of 2012 for Roma to bring him on board."
Or you could look at it logically and say that Roma used Chievo to see how well MB would acclimate to Italy and Serie A.
And when he showed well, then they pulled the trigger.
Switching leagues and countries is far harder than you all seem to think. An acclimation period at a place like Chievo
is very useful for both the potential buyer and the prospective seller.
And MB did not improve "dramatically" at Chievo.
If you remember, after a short acclimation period, he very quickly surprised everyone, seized a starting job and then moved to being their dominant midfielder. If he learned a lot of new skills at Chievo he did so very quickly.
Chievo are a humble club. They bring in talent (as in already skilled), give them a platform to display their skills and then sell for a profit. So if MB was a fixer upper so to speak, they don't really have a lot of resources to be renovating him.
It sort of reminded me of how quickly Donovan became an important, integral part of Everton during his first loan spell.
This makes a lot more sense to me than your take.
I didn't say you said he was 'bad.' I simply don't agree it's fair to say he's 'different,' except in the way you hope every player grows.
He's more mature and aware. But his game is still essentially the same stylistically. After all, he scored for fun in Holland. So it's not like he never got forward before.
But when Landon starts in the center, it's not just 'one' body that's on him. It's the DMC and a defender, at least. He always has a man-marker and less room to maneuver.
Tactically, he's a superior player on the wings with the freedom to come in, than vice versa. I've never been in the "Landycakes" crowd. But that doesn't mean I can't say a player like Dempsey is better suited to the central withdrawn forward role than Donovan is.
So you are saying Donovan gets hit with two, or three man man markers when he is in the center of the field?
Do they follow him everywhere? Because Donovan will just move somewhere else. Or, if they stick on him, even better because if they keep it up it means someone, somewhere is really open. Who is covering Dempsey while all this foolishness is going on?
Donovan is not exactly an idiot when it comes to soccer.
If you watch Dempsey and if you watch Donovan both of them go where they feel they need to be. They understand off the ball movement. Their teamates then cover for them. It has been that way on the USMNT for many years. Many of Donovan's games where he "disappeared", he did so because he was playing defense and no one watches that.
It's not as if either one stays exactly in the center of the park as if mounted on a rail moving up and down when asked to play centrally. Soccer is a dynamic game.
I've never been his biggest fan but Donovan is far smarter as a player than you give him credit for. At this point his body may be letting him down but he still has the best "soccer brain" in the USMNT player pool.
He was always a complete player. Some people say his dad getting fired shook him up and made him a re dedicate himself to get even better but I doubt it.
I think it happened sooner, when all that BS at BMG went on followed by the Villa fiasco.
The USMNT gig is a big deal to MB 90 but it is not his first priority. His bread and butter day job is his club team. They are the ones who pay his way and put food on his table.
Mikey was basically fired twice in less than a year, long before his dad got the axe.
Have you ever been fired LZ? Because if you have then maybe you understand how that can force you to get your priorities straight instantly.
So when he got lucky with Chievo, he wasn't about to screw it up and got down to it very quickly. As I've said elsewhere, he stood out for Chievo so fast it's pretty clear he had all the talent already and what he really needed was a place to show it and people who believed in him.
That was not the case at Villa and obviously things had been going south at BMG for a while.
"Whereas MB had a guaranteed starting position under his father on the USMNT roster plus a guaranteed 90 minutes per game, even when he was not playing at the club level and was not in good form, MB had no such assurances under Klinsmann. That basically shook MB up and he realized it was a whole new ball game and he needed to pick up his game and he did."
His dad's firing could hardly have come as a shock to MB90. He's not a kid. He's played in Europe a long time. Managers there get changed as often as you change your underwear. Of course it hurt but I doubt Mikey was all that shook up.
The USMNT does not pay MB90's bills. His club team does.
I think Mikely's epiphany happened sooner, when all that BS at BMG went on followed by the Villa fiasco.
The USMNT gig is a big deal to MB 90 but it is not his first priority. His bread and butter day job is his club team. They are the ones who pay his way and put food on his table.

When people talk about indispensable, it is a matter of degree.
As they say in the NFL, injuries are a part of the game that must be accepted and overcome but what mostly matters with injuries is who is injured and for how long.
An injury to Tom Brady is more worrisome than an injury to Logan Mankins.
To think otherwise is naive.
Certain players, Bradley, Donovan, Dempsey, Howard, Dolo, Johnson and so on are more "indispensable" to the USMNT than others. This is a soccer team not a democracy.
Can the US win without player X or player Y? Of course they can but the chances of winning are decreased a certain percentage by their absence.
So it is all very well to say we can win without Dempsey or Bradley or whoever, but it would be a lot easier and more likely to happen with them available.
If you doubt that just go to Vegas.
The people who set the lines in Vegas are far from stupid. They know that the odds against a US team w/o Bradley are greater than the odds against a US team with Bradley.
and set their odds accordingly.
But of course, as I have said, it doesn't mean we can't win without him.

Sorry, I never been fired but there is always tomorrow. I still stand by my comments.
I think you will run into a problem with that plan. I would fully expect TNT or Guate to bunker down and counter for the first 60-min (thus appear "contained") and then only play a free-flowing game for maybe the last 20-30minutes.
I guess 12 players really would be the best scenario, albeit illegal.
Jozy run???? the laziest _______ I've ever seen. He can stay in Europe with that at best average team/league he plays in.
don't compare but try to emulate
Jozy shouldn't even be on the bench.
see what? Altidore fall over when there's a slight breeze or see him do nothing at all. Altidore is aweful.
Well, hopefully it stays that way. That is one experience you can do without.

The cheeky invitation has angered Boeing executives. It would be the equivalent of Boeing setting up a factory in Airbus's home town of Toulouse in France.
A Boeing source said: 'This is just a stunt. It will never happen.' But a spokesman for the European company said: 'Airbus or any company is at liberty to go and engage with the state of Washington.'
What makes the invitation even more humiliating for Boeing is that Airbus wants the factory to assemble military airtankers. Boeing has been the main supplier of military tankers to the US armed forces for 40 years. But a recent scandal over tendering has forced the Pentagon to cancel a Boeing order for tankers and Airbus is hoping to join the bidding for a multi-billion dollar contract second time around.
BAE Systems has a 20% stake in Airbus, so any order from the US military will be welcomed at its factory in Broughton, Clwyd, which makes the airtankers' wings.
Under plans being considered by Airbus, the tankers would be flown to America, where they would be customised for the US military.
On Tuesday, state officials and representatives from the cities of Port of Moses Lake and Spokane will be in Washington DC to hear Airbus talk about its plans to set up a factory in the US that will create more than 1,000 jobs and make billions of pounds worth of planes and parts.
Albert Anderson, industrial development manager at Port of Moses Lake, said: 'We know this is Boeing country, but if Airbus is going to build something in the US anyway, why not Moses Lake?'
Michelle Zahrly of the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development said: 'We want to be a centre for aerospace and there are more companies around than Boeing.'
An EADS spokesman said: 'The chief criteria are a good runway and skilled workers. Washington state sounds a good place.'

After watching the first 12 picks go by during Thursday night's NBA Draft in Madison Square Garden, the number 13 was lucky for Julian Wright.
"With the 13th pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, the New Orleans Hornets select Julian Wright from Kansas."
It was finally his turn. After Commissioner David Stern's announcement, Ju Ju flashed that winning smile Jayhawk fans have become accustomed to the last two years. Then after hugging the members of his family in attendance, he proudly donned his new cap and walked to the podium.
There was plenty of speculation surrounding Julian and his alleged free fall heading into the draft, but Wright's camp never doubted he'd be a lottery pick.
"I expected to be a lottery pick," stated Wright. "I really felt I wouldn't fall out of the lottery."
"I had been led to believe he'd go a few picks earlier but today, in dealing with his agent (Rob Pelinka), I thought there was a good chance this could be the spot that Julian goes," said KU head coach Bill Self who watched the draft with his family.
Wright did admit that he found out he would be a Hornet when the rest of us did – right after Philadelphia picked at number 12.
"After Philadelphia picked I really liked our chances with New Orleans," Wright said.
"I believe that New Orleans realized they got a steal. They got a guy who has one of the best upsides in the draft at 13, so I'm sure they're very happy about that,"concluded Self.
With the pick Wright becomes the fifth Kansas player taken in the first round since 2002, but he joins a New Orleans team in a bit of disarray.
The Hornets were hit with the injury bug for much of last season where 13 different players started at one time or another. Head coach Byron Scott has some work to do for New Orleans to return to the playoffs but he does have a solid foundation to build around in point guard Chris Paul.
At 6-8, the versatile Wright adds some athleticism to a lineup that may lose its best athlete and a solid contributor in Desmond Mason. Mason is a free agent and if he does leave, Wright will undoubtedly be part of the plan to replace the former Oklahoma State star. Remember, when Mason was drafted back in 2000 as the 17th pick, his shot was suspect, and he has improved leaps and bounds since his collegiate days. Julian could follow in his footsteps in that respect.
"I think with the ball in his hands, passing the ball, creating for others, I don't know if there's that many guys out there Julian's age that can do any better than that. But Desmond is an unbelievable finisher, Julian will be a great finisher," said Self comparing the two. "Right now, Desmond is just a better scorer but I would think from a playmaking standpoint, Julian can create for others about as well as anybody."
Minus Mason, Paul would need another finisher and Julian would certainly be a strong candidate for the job. Playing with the former NBA Rookie of the Year is another part of Julian's jump to the league that he's looking forward to. In a teleconference after the draft Wright expressed his excitement about playing with a player of Paul's caliber.
"If I were Julian, I'd be excited. You get to play with Chris Paul and a good, young, talented team, and going to a team where he can make an impact," Self continued. "I think it's a good fit for him."

Major points is if it is the conference champs or top 4 teams also will it be computer based or a selection committee. If strength of schedule is a big point I could the ACC and Big East in trouble making it to the playoffs. Big ten and Pac 12 are already planning to play each other during the regular season and I see the Big XII and SEC doing the same. So even if you have a 11-1 team they would make it in over a 12-0 ACC or Big East team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathmandu, Jun 7 (UNI) Indian golfer Shamim Khan produced another sub-par round of 3-under 69 for a tournament tally of 23-under par 265 to win the Surya Nepal Masters at the Gokarna Forest Golf Resort here today.
Khan reduced the event to a one-man battle while forcing others to fight for the second place.
A jittery moment was when he began with a bogey reducing the overnight lead to seven. However, with three consecutive birdies on the next three holes, he shut out what ever doubts the handful of spectators had about the pint-sized dynamo.
Playing some solid golf, Shamim saved two more strokes on the par-5 seventh and the par-4 ninth, both which had strategic pin placements.
''I cannot express my happiness in mere words. It is terrific to win,'' Shamim said after getting reacher by Rs 3,24,000.
Shamim continued his march and excepting a bogey on the par-3 13th, the Delhi lad cruised through for his career's second win.
''I think my front nine was crucial today and I am happy that I sailed through,'' he said. ''In my last appearance here, I had lost from a winning position. And hence I was careful not to repeat the same mistakes and that was the key.'' However, Anura Rohana from Sri Lanka brought in the day's best card of 6-under 66 to finish second at 276, ahead of a fighting Vijay Kumar who had to be content with a third place at 278.
Sujjan Singh was fourth at 280 while Harinder Gupta with a final round of level par 72 finished fifth, thus registering another top ten finish in consecutive weeks after his win in Chandigarh.
Gurbaaz Mann trying to attack paid the penalty registering a 4-over 76 to finish sixth at 283.
Vijay Kumar and Gurbaaz Mann, the two in the hunt both were one-over for their front nine and were left to fight for the minor placings.
Meanwhile, Anura caught fire making birdies on the sixth, seventh and the ninth to take the turn at 3-under. He did seem to waver a bit as he made a bogey on the 11th but resurrected the same with a birdie on the very next hole. After he had saved another stroke on the 15th, the Sri Lankan made an eagle-two on the tough par-4 17th that catapulted him to the second place.
Deepak Neupane with another brilliant round of 4-under 68 emerged as the best Nepalese professional tying for the seventh place along with Vinod Kumar and Sanjay Kumar at 284. Amardip Malik and Nepalese sensation Shiva Ram Shreshta were tied for the 10th place at 286.
In the international Amateur Event, Bangladesh emerged victorious steamrolling past the opposition by a huge margin of 26 strokes.
The duo of Shekawat Hussain and Shahid aggregated 579 to lead Bangladesh to victory. The duo of Rupak Acharya and Tashi Ghale helped Nepal A finish second while India finished third.
Top Scores after 72 holes (All Indians except mentioned): 265 Shamim Khan (62, 64, 70, 69); 276 Anura Rohana (68, 69, 73, 66); 278 Vijay Kumar (69, 65, 70, 74); 280 Sujjan Singh (71, 68, 69, 72); 282 Harinder Gupta (70, 70, 70, 72); 283 Gurbaaz Mann (65, 68, 74, 76); 284 Vinod Kumar (68, 70, 73, 73), Sanjay Kumar (73, 70, 73, 68), Deepak Neupane (77, 75, 64, 68); 286 Amardip Malik (72, 67, 77, 70), Shiv Ram Shrestha (71, 72, 73, 70); 288 Ramesh Kumar (77, 69, 72, 70), Siddikur Rahman (B'desh) (71, 70, 75, 72), Vishal Singh (75, 74, 69, 70); 289 Ranjit Singh (71, 72, 74, 72) UNI XC RKM CS UCS1837

I'm not crazyMature
I wake with a groan and look down at Elioth. I wait till he wake up. He turns his dreamy eyes to me and smiles. "Morning" he croaks out. I laugh and lie down on his chest resting my chin on my folded arms.
"El, I need to tell you something" I mumble.
"What, Sammie?" he asks.
"I.... I've been keeping a secret" I sigh. He frowns looking confused. "I have these mental break downs" I continue, tracing patterns on his chest. "I had one yesterday in front of Robin, last night"
"Okay... well, we'll just have to work it out" he says. I look at him with wide eyes.
"You're okay with it?" I ask.
"I'm not gonna dump you just cause you have a mental problem" Elioth says laughing. I can't help thinking, more than you know. I break out in a smile. I get up.
"Well, you deserve a treat.... I'll go get breakfast" I say and skip out. Only to collide with Robin. I look up at him and my heart races before I stop it angrily. He gives a small tiny smirk. I glare and stride off, feeling his eyes on my back as I do so. "You don't have to worry about, Elioth. I told him"
He nods. "I said I wouldn't tell him anyway"
I turn on my heels facing him. I know I look like an utter bitch but what the hell. "Like I believe you" I say flicking back my hair.
"You have so little faith in me" he chuckles.
"I have no faith in you. Why should I trust you? You don't want me with Elioth and you don't care for me. So I have no trust in you" I snap, angrily.
"Shame. I can be a very trustworthy person" he says, slowly begining to move towards me. I swallow and step back only to find a wall behind me. He gives off a sly smile and I look away.
"What is with this playing?" I ask folding my arms across my chest. He gives me an innocent face and for a moment I almost believe it.
"Playing?" he ask. I scoff and try to push him out of the way by a hand on his shoulder. Suddenly he has an arm wrapped around my waist and I freeze completely. He gives off a small smile.
"What are you trying to achieve here?" I ask.
"Nothing" he says simply.
"Then why.... why are you doing this?"
"Doing what?" he asks, innocently.
"Playing on my emotions" I whispers, my lips so close to his.
"Like this?" he says. For a minute I'm confused but then he kisses me. Unlike before I struggle. I don't want this. I don't want him. He pulls back and tears seep down my cheek.
"What do you want from me?"
"Stay away from Elioth"
"No" I say, my stubborness returning along with my anger. He sighs heavily and I look away from him.
"Why?" he asks.
"Cause I love him" I whisper. "He understands me. He doesn't use me" I direct the last part more at Robin with a glare.
"Who says I'm using you?"
"You feel nothing for me" I hiss. He just smirks. Its then I slap him hard across the cheek. He rubs his cheek a little.
"What was that for?"
"For even trying to make me dump Elioth. You have no idea how long I've searched for someone like him" I feel wetness on my cheeks and I know I'm crying, tears trailing over my cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Samiel, but I don't want to put him through all this"
"Its not your choice"

The money presently swilling around London is alienating to many of us who live here as well as those of us who don't, but you would need the puritanical heart of a Knox or a Gandhi not to take pleasure in some its effects. The independent food shop, for example. Butchers, fishmongers and greengrocers are in retreat all across Britain, perhaps in most of Europe, but in certain London postal codes they have begun a surprising advance. Until recently in Islington, for example, 200,000 people made do with one wet fish shop, the locally celebrated Steve Hatt, and otherwise bought their fish from supermarkets. Now three others have opened, a couple with jokey names (Meek and Wild, the Prawn on the Lawn) and all with produce labelled not only by species but also the way it died (line-caught, day-boat). The most recent, Moxon's, is located on a street that can't have seen a fresh-food shop since the 1960s, when shop-owners sold out to traders in old knick-knacks and antiques. Nobody then could have imagined how rare the sight of an Englishman serving in a shop would become, or how those who still do, perhaps to deny the supposed femininity of their job, can often be seen sloshing manfully around in their wellies, as if expecting a rocket to go up summoning them to a lifeboat station in N16. Robin Moxon, who has four fish shops, says that he owes some of his success to being better disposed towards the customer than the average fish shop man, "the kind who, when a customer asks where a fish comes from, will just wittily say: 'the sea'". Social class, he thinks, has something to do with this – his middle-class origins give him the confidence to enjoy serving without hating himself or the customer.
Butchers' have also got more refined, and they too have staff who are largely male and English and perhaps less working-class than they used to be. A new butcher, Turner & George, has just taken over a local shop, and decorated it with second-hand cookery books and other curios placed behind cuts of meat that are no longer uniformly red and bleeding, but range in colour from pink to brown, dry-aged for up to 50 days so that they look as waxy and solid as body parts by Gunther von Hagen. Every piece has its provenance announced – its farm, or the rare breed of cattle that might have been fed on ale for the last six weeks of its life to yield scrumptious flesh.
"Late Bland" used to be how we thought of this shop because those words appeared in the tiles below the windows, put there 50, 60, 80 years ago by a new owner who wanted to retain the shop's old custom and reputation; Bland, whoever he was, must have been a formidable butcher to have been so permanently memorialized, overshadowing all his successors, but even he would surely have been surprised at the amount of care being taken of the meat. For once, the word "curator" might be justified outside its use in a museum.
Money, mainly from the City, has made these new shops possible. Several points can be made against them: fishmongers are emptying the seas, butchers are killing us with the wrong protein, and the average British worker can hardly afford the prices in either. But at least they are interesting and appetising, and if the nation's wealth could be more equally spread they would do British high streets more good than any number of schemes by Mary Portas.
Can creative writing be taught?
Hanif Kureishi thinks creative writing courses are a waste of time, which is a dangerous thing to say given that he makes his living (not all of it, but probably more of it than he does from his novels) as a professor of creative writing at Kingston University. Telling a story well took a rare skill, he told an audience at the Bath literary festival last weekend. He estimated that perhaps 0.1% of his students had it. Could it be taught? Kureishi didn't think so. Would he pay money to take an MA in creative writing himself? "No … that would be madness."
We should feel sorry for all concerned: for a university that may consequently face a sharp drop in fee income; for Kureishi's students, who have paid £5,800 each (£12,700 for non-EU citizens) for their professor's useless course; and not least for Kureishi himself, biting the hand that fed him out of a rage (I speculate) that he has to make money in this despicable way. As writers tend to feel there's something special about being a writer – something innate – they often make poor advocates for the teaching of it. Privately, many will say much the same as Kureishi. On the other hand, the economics of writing being as they are, teaching provides a more secure income than actually practising the craft. Students of creative writing become tutors of it with barely a pause to establish their credentials by producing a story collection or a novel, which might sell a few hundred copies and blight the hopes of both writer and publisher.
To that extent, Kureishi's students are lucky to have him – as a full-time writer for more than 30 years, he should know what he's on about. Kingston University would also have seen him as a catch – a name that would attract students and provide the "public impact" that the funding authority now demands of universities. But how do you explain the apparently unstoppable growth of a vocational course for a vocation that is being remorselessly de-monetised? When Kureishi started out, the University of East Anglia had Britain's only department of creative writing, which may also have been the only one outside North America. Today no broad-based university would dream of living without one, despite the fact that writing ("literary" and otherwise) earns increasingly little money, if any at all, and we are returning to the time when it was confined as an occupation to those who had private incomes or the patronage of philanthropists and academies.
What tempts students towards such an unfeasible career? A clue lies on Kingston University's website: "A Kingston University creative writing MA graduate has been snapped up in a six-figure deal by one of the world's biggest publishers after her self-published books topped the Kindle download rankings, selling tens of thousands of copies." In other words, like winning the national lottery, it could happen to you.
Beware workshopping
But we live in glass houses. The Guardian regularly advertises quite expensive courses (the "quite" is a favour to the management) that will teach people how to be critics, foreign correspondents and … columnists. I sometimes wonder if I should sign up for the last ("Yes! Yes!" – the plain people of Britain), so that I could learn to hold brisker opinions and eliminate parenthetical references such as the one above to that greatest of all columnists, Myles na Gopaleen. A restraint, however, is the thought that my classroom efforts might be "workshopped": that is, openly savaged by my classmates when we gathered to discuss our week's work.
Workshopping is probably the most hateful feature of writing courses, easily mistaken for an American idea because, like Alcoholics Anonymous, it believes in the benefits of group frankness. In fact, according to a professor of creative writing I once met in Chicago, the practice originated in the early years of Soviet Russia, when Leninists wanted bourgeois activities such as writing to assume the more muscular, proletarian habits of workers' committees. According to my American professor, Lenin found the results hard-going when they were shown to him, and announced a preference for an old favourite, Pushkin. In this, Hanif Kureishi and the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union would have been at one.

When someone popped up on the Strictly liveblog on Saturday night to say that the News of the World was reporting that dancer – and BBC presenter – Anton du Beke had said his partner "looked like a Paki" following a spray tan, it's fair to say there was more than a little disbelief. Disbelief that du Beke would have used such a term – and disbelief that he could have done so only weeks after reports that he joked about whether Laila Rouass, whose mother is Indian and father is Moroccan, was a terrorist.
The BBC's response was swift – the Strictly team have by now had quite a lot of practice at responding to various controversies, what with scheduling clashes, the Arlene row and the briefing note banning stars from speaking out. It came in the form of an apology (of sorts):
"I must say immediately and categorically that I am not a racist and that I do not use racist language," Du Beke's statement read. "During the course of rehearsals Laila and I have exchanged a great deal of banter entirely in jest, and two weeks ago there was an occasion when this term was used between the two of us.
"There was no racist intent whatsoever but I accept that it is a term which causes offence and I regret my use of it, which was done without thought or consideration of how others would react.
"I apologise unreservedly for any offence my actions might have caused."
The question is whether Du Beke's apology is enough. Carol Thatcher was dropped from the One Show as a roving reporter after she described a black tennis player as a "golliwog". In that case, Thatcher wrote a letter of apology but that did not save her job and her contract was not renewed.
It appears that the rules are rather different for Du Beke, who is a long-standing professional dancer on Strictly, and now also presents Hole in the Wall on Saturday teatime. Like Thatcher, the comment was off-air but in a context related to the show. Du Beke also says that the term was used in jest and denies that there was any racist intent behind the comment, or that he uses racist language.
That is something of a sticking point – I'm finding it hard to see how "Paki" in this context could be seen as anything but offensive. Du Beke might plead ignorance but that doesn't excuse his comments: "Only joking!" sounds like the refrain of someone who has overstepped the mark and is scrabbling to get their feet back behind it.
But what do you think? Is Du Beke's apology enough - particularly as it has been accepted by Rouass? Or should the BBC take stronger action against Du Beke?

In the latest allegation of child sexual abuse by peacekeepers in the Central African Republic, a United Nations police officer is accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in the capital, Bangui, during a nighttime house-to-house search, according to Amnesty International.
The allegation came to light on Tuesday, when Amnesty International issued a public statement. The United Nations spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, confirmed it later in the day, adding that Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was "personally dismayed" by the charges.
The United Nations mission staff in Bangui was informed of the allegations last week, when Amnesty researchers interviewed the child and her family and met with officials at the mission.
The episode is said to have occurred Aug. 2 during a clash between armed men and peacekeepers who were searching for a criminal suspect. The mission is investigating the operation, in which one peacekeeper was killed and nine others injured, said Hamadoun Touré, a spokesman for the United Nations in Bangui. As for the rape allegation, Mr. Touré said no suspect had been identified and, therefore, no one had been arrested or suspended.

No other has ever been able - or willing - to resist his erotic charms. Chastity's resolve is maddening.and intriguing. It makes him want her all the more. But how best to seduce one who truly seems above temptation? Discover her greatest weakness and become the intoxicating essence of her deepest, most forbidden desires....

Well she tried, but just could not pull it off. Story starts, but I figure I have to wait to find out what is going on. She never really explains what is really happening. Just because you put a few sexual scenes in place, you still have to keep your story line going. Sorry but I was really disapointed.
"Interesting world"
The story was intriguing. I liked it for the most part but there were a few times I got bored or irritated.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
If someone calls the police on you with a false complaint do you have any recourse? The claim was called in and the police didn't come talk to us but its still on file. The claim was harrassment by phone, yet we don't have the persons phone number. Our phone records will show NO call. What recourse do we have? We feel this person will continue filing false claims if we don't stop them. Legally what can we do?
Filing a false police report is a crime, but you can't stop them, and the fact that no charges have been filed does not make it a false report. It is interesting that the police didn't come to talk to you, though. Sounds like they didn't take it seriously.
However, I can't help but wonder how you found out, if it wasn't from the police. and I suspect that the people complaining about you have told you that they made a report. As you already know, what these people say isn't necessarily true, so you shouldn't take them at their word.
In order to file a claim for libel or slander, someone has to believe what was said, and it doesn't sound like that happened. You will also want to consider whether filing suit against these people will make the situtation better, or worse. It has been my experience that suing people who make false accusations will generally make the dispute worse - meaning that it could cause them to say a lot more bad things about you. For the time being, they are probably an annoyance which is better to ignore.Ask a similar question

Genre: Documentary
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
George W. Bush
Hillary Clinton
Alex Gibney
Duration: 116 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Jul 08, 2016
IMDb: 6.9
Saw this at the Berlinale 2016, where it was programmed as part of the official Competition section. I have to start with a full disclaimer, by confessing that information security has been my full time occupation for at least 25 years.
As such it was not my intention to learn something new when viewing this documentary about the infamous Stuxnet worm, jointly developed by Israel and US, targeting Iranian reactors and obstructing the production of nuclear material. Yet I'm very interested in each and every vehicle (movie, book, newspaper article, whatever) to make non-IT people aware of the issues at hand, if only to provide material for an open debate about the pros and cons of "cyber warfare" with much wider implications than the average layman realizes.
As observed with previous movies about IT-related issues (WikiLeaks, Snowden, Steve Jobs etcetera) it is very difficult to sit it through while being (like myself) someone who worked in IT all his life. We saw numerous fragments of Assembler, flashing lights from network equipment, heavily populated cable bundles, and many screens showing various sorts of abracadabra, all supposedly intending to look technical for an average layman. Another problem is that several talking heads ducked when asked specific questions about Stuxnet, the latter being the main topic of this movie. Most of them had the usual excuse *Even when I knew about it, I cannot elaborate". Luckily, we heard not once the excuse "I can tell you about it but after that I have to shoot you", usually intended as a humorous escape from hot questions without appearing offensive or overly defiant. Several high ranking officials only wanted to speak out in general terms, thereby avoiding Stuxnet and other concrete projects, by explaining what they found wrong, especially about the secrecy that most found exaggerated and unnecessary. As such, their contributions were still useful, albeit not exactly touching the subject at hand.
Nevertheless, I heard a few new things I had not thought about yet. Firstly, Stuxnet was not designed to become so visible as it did. People at the NSA were furious when seeing that Israel extended v1.1 of the software to be more aggressive, making it spread and allowing it to surface, while that never had been the intention. The net result is that other countries may find justification to counter with similar software, now the US has provided for a precedent. Secondly, many people in CIA and NSA express their concerns about over-classification, preventing an open debate on future policies and rules of engagement in cyber space, like similar rules developed in the past for army, navy and air force. Cyber weapons are the fourth category, and it may take 20 to 30 years to create clear rules and policies for it. Lastly, the net effect that Stuxnet had on Iranian nuclear program, has proved to be negligible in the long run. There was a noticeable dip in the production statistics, but it triggered Iran to invest extra in centrifuges. An extra side effect was that Iran invested in cyber powers of their own, by attracting talented people on this field of expertise. As of now, it looks like they succeeded in overpowering the western world in this so-called cyber war. In other words, due to Stuxnet we lost our head start, and it is doubtful we will ever regain that.
There was one talking head with distorted voice and face, who appeared many times throughout the story. In hindsight, she was reading collected texts from several people working in NSA, CIA etcetera, all of them having useful insights on the matter but unable to come forward. Being reasonably versed in these issues, I am of the opinion that these texts sound genuine and seem to really come from people with intimate knowledge, which would otherwise be kept from the public. One example is that they internally made fun about "air gapped", the common defense against infections from the outside. They knew several ways to get over this obstacle, e.g. by infecting vendors responsible for installing and updating software in the plant, more or less working like so-called watering hole attacks. Reading these texts as done here, was an artificial but necessary addition to the documentary. In a final scene the one reading the texts revealed herself as an actress who had no personal involvement in the issues, but was effectively used as a vehicle to get this information across. During the press conference organized by the Berlinale it was explained that this was the only way to obtain and release this information, if only to protect the sources since harsh policies have been issued to deal with information leakage.
All in all, I'm not sure the message will land where it should land, namely with non-IT people who should know about the implications of "cyber warfare", having an impact on our future that cannot be underestimated. I don't think that a documentary that takes nearly 2 hours, will achieve said goal. Nevertheless, I applaud every honest attempt. The documentary is well made and tries to present a balanced view on the matter. Well made, but probably shooting over everyone's head and defeating its well-intended purposes.

We LOVED our stay at Isabella's. Jessie is so kind. My husband and I were in an unusual situation and Jessie made us feel welcome and right at home. The breakfasts were delicious and very creative. We had a different made-from-scratch meal every morning. We look forward to our next stay with Jessie and Carly! Thank you, Jessie...¿¿¿¿¿¿

Jessie is such a sweet person and so accommodating. She's a good cook and all items included in breakfast were hand made, right down to the jam for the homemade bread. The home is decorated to the nines. It is quiet and serene. Truly an Antebellum experience.

5 on April 19, 2015
I stayed a week at Isabella's and it was wonderful! I am so glad I decided not to stay in a hotel in Aiken. Miss Jessie's homemade breads were my favorite part of breakfast. I hope I have a reason to return to Edgefield County and stay at Isabella's again.
5 on October 09, 2014
We stayed at Isabella's for just one night we had a wedding we were attending. I wish we had planned on staying longer, what a beautiful place. Ms. Jessie is so sweet and makes you feel just like you are at home. She made the best French toast I have ever had!! We will be going back and staying longer in the near future!
5 on July 04, 2014
My husband and I stayed at Isabella's for my 60th high school reunion. We loved it! Our bedroom suite was very nice, and the dinner Jessie prepared for the reunion group was delicious. We enjoyed the proximity to antique shops in Aiken and other surrounding towns. Hope to get back soon!

An enjoyable, down-home, relaxed place to stay. Innkeeper was very accommodating to a late (for me) return in the evening. Breakfast was delightful and we'll definitely stay again next trip to the area.

Texas Tech isn't distracted by coaching change
Associated Press | Last updated December 27, 2012
Texas Tech players say they aren't worried that a tumultuous month which began with Tommy Tuberville leaving abruptly for Cincinnati will hurt them in Friday's Meineke Car Care Bowl against Minnesota. Senior quarterback Seth Doege (DAY'-ghee) has been in this situation before. He saw the Red Raiders come together for a win in the Alamo Bowl under an interim coach just days after coach Mike Leach was fired in the 2009 season. The Red Raiders have hired Kliff Kingsbury to replace Tuberville, but interim coach Chris Thomsen will lead Texas Tech in the bowl game. Doege says, ''it's settled now, and the young guys are excited.'' The Gophers return to a bowl for the first time since 2009 and are looking for their first bowl win since 2004.

Here's sneek peek of some awesome omnitrade shirt I got to try on :), it is from e-vil's brand and I must say that it's pretty amazing. The designs are so original and bright. It's a really fun brand with a lot of glitters, fluo, writting and so on. But it's soo amusing making original combinations with it.
So here I've chosen to wear this green skull shirt with a black blazer and some silver jewerly. The black truly makes the shirt stand out and the jewerly fits great with the glitters of the skull I thought.
Have a nice evening you all!

Whether you're studying some sort of history or are simply just interested in learning as much as you can handle without your brain exploding, these apps will meet your every inquiring need
WikiMobile (Wikipedia Browser)
If only I'd had this app during tests for world history, US history and pretty much any other test that inquired about anything known to the public. This App is truly fantastic and it has helped me to settle a good number of arguments.
Wiki Encyclopedia
This is pretty much the same as the previous app I listed except it saves your settings as well as running more smoothly, or so it seems to me
Britannica Encyclopedia 2011
The only reason I would ever even think about purchasing this app is if I was to major in history or something around that realm, so that anytime the professor would ask a stump question or any one needed help with some homework I could bust out my phone and find even the most minor detail about places, people, cultures and much, much more.

LAW Society president Phillip Sycamore has been attacked for failing to turn up at the society's flagship Labour conference meeting at which government rising star Home Office minister Alun Michael spoke.
Although some Law Society officials were present, none of the three key elected council members – Sycamore, vice-president Michael Mathews and deputy vice-president Robert Sayer – attended the packed meeting on crime and punishment, despite the fact that Sycamore was originally billed to chair it.
The president's absence from the conference at a time when the Government is poised to announce sweeping reforms of the legal system raised eyebrows among lawyers at the gathering. Sycamore was also absent from the Law Society's Liberal Democrat conference meeting.
Former Law Society head of communications Sue Stapely, who now works for the PR firm Fishburn Hedges, said: "I think this is the first time since the Law Society started holding fringe meetings six years ago that not one of the office-holders has attended either the conference of the governing party or a party in opposition."
She added: "I think they are valuable opportunities to meet and discuss issues of interest to the profession with MPs, ministers and a wide range of interested groups."
A Law Society spokesman said it was not felt that Sycamore's presence at the conference was necessary. Sycamore had had a "busy" week filled with ceremonial duties because it was "the start of the legal year". He was attending the launch of the Law Society quality mark scheme, Lexcel, on the morning of the meeting, added the spokesman.
Mathews did attend a later fringe meeting held jointly by Liberty, the Bar Council and the Law Society.

Once upon a time, I took home delivery of the Detroit Free Press—allowing its ink to smear my fingers, spread to my cheek, leave smudges on the kitchen table. To my irritation, my children left it around, comic pages spread wide on the living room floor. My husband read the Sports Page instead of engaging in witty repartee.I'm digital now; but I have a vague memory from those olden days of a newspaper column I really enjoyed—something like "Things I Learned En Route to Learning Other Things." … [Read more...]

Pope Urban: Patron of Nonsmokers?
Getting All Puffed Up Over Mushrooms
"Darn," I thought. "The raccoons have been in the trash cans again. There are paper plates all over the yard!" But no. On closer inspection, what first brought scowls, then smiles, was a congregation of plate-sized mushrooms that had sprung up, courtesy of a gentle rainfall, and now turned faces heavenward to bask in the setting sun. I never saw this type of mushroom before. My friend John, a connoisseur of all things home-grown, would have been out there with a knife and f … [Read more...]
Freiburg, the Pope, and Me
Today, September 24, Pope Benedict XVI rode through the streets of Freiburg in the popemobile before meeting with a group of lay Catholics gathered at the Freiburg Seminary. In the background of the copyrighted photo, you can clearly see Freiburg's village clock.I was there, too, in October 2000.
