A miracle in the United States of America would be having an entire day go by without some form of nuttiness on the part of Republicans seeking the presidential nomination. Rick can't remember how many justices are on the Supreme Court, Michele is going to nuke Iran, and now Mitt and Ron are bombing Newt. Mitt and Ron blasted Newt for opposing the medical care program of Rep. Paul Ryan by terming it, "right wing social engineering." And, then both went after the work of Newt in providing historical information to business organizations.
Mitt demanded that Newt return the $1.6 or $1.8 million received from Freddie Mac and he noted in the first debate, Newt said it was only, $300,000. I don't know why they are arguing about a million here or there. Ron decided to have fun with Mitt by showing a video of the former Republican Speaker of the House proclaiming: "If you've been Speaker of the House, you're always an insider."
I await entry of the clowns to this party of who is the biggest hypocrite in town. On the other hand, at least clowns KNOW they are clowns!

The Gutter Takes Offense
They're saying Dan Savage has stirred up a hornet's nest…
Dan Savage Speech Controversy: 'It Gets Better' Creator Offends Christian Students
Dan Savage offended some Christian teens when he told them "We can learn to ignore the bull—t in the Bible about gay people."
After many students walked out of the speech, one of whom appeared to be crying, Savage said, "It's funny, as someone who's on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the bible, how pansy-assed some people react when you push back."
Right on cue the usual suspects wing up the noise machine…
Fox News reports that Savage's comments upset the executive director of GOProud, a gay conservative group.
"Dan Savage should apologize for his comments and should apologize to the high school students in attendance whom he called 'pansy-asses,'" Jimmy LaSalvia told Fox. "It is ironic that someone whose claim to fame is fighting bullying would resort to bullying tactics in attacking high school students who were offended by his outrageous remarks."
There is so much to unpack here. Firstly, the headline. This is that right wing propaganda everyone has bought into over the years, that the only authentic Christians are the right wing bigots and everyone else is just faking it. How many of the kids who stayed to hear what Savage had to say, regardless of what they thought of it, also identified as Christian? We don't get that information in any of the mainstream news stories I've seen on this. No, no…it was Christians, capital 'C' who walked out and who Savage tossed a going away insult at. Those were the only Christians in that auditorium that day.
Secondly, Savage didn't stir up anything…that bubbling open sewer that calls itself the moral majority needs no stirring, it is always on the boil. This incident wouldn't look more like the usual case of right wing manufactured outrage if those kids were wearing t-shirts that said "We Are Here To Take Offense At Anything You Have To Say". I am expected to believe that none of the kids in that group who walked out knew who Dan Savage was or what his positions were on sex, gay sex, and the bible am I? Right. Pull the other one.
Suddenly it's We're Not The Bullies, Dan Savage Is The Bully, Because He Insulted Us!!! Yes. Yes he did. And a well earned insult it was too. In the Twitter fury that followed, LOLGOP Tweeted: "I've not yet met one conservative Christian who is considering suicide because of bullying as thousands of LGBT youth do every day." Just so. It is grotesque to watch the right wing noise machine compare Dan Savage's crack about the kids walking out of his talk to what gay kids deal with every day of their lives, usually at the hands of kids like the ones who walked out. This from The Christian Post:
The 17-year-old California student, whose name was not given, told CitizenLink's Karla Dial that Savage said people using the Bible to justify their views on homosexuality being a sin often cite Leviticus and Romans in saying that "being gay is wrong."
"Right after that, he said we can ignore all the 'B.S.' in the Bible," the student told CitizenLink, which is affiliated with faith-based organization Focus on the Family.
The student said she suddenly reacted by blurting out "That's bull!" before storming out of the auditorium along with several other students. Savage reportedly called the students pansies upon noticing their exit.
That passage in Leviticus Savage was telling them was BS, and which the student there is righteously affirming, calls for homosexuals to be put to death, adding "Their blood is upon them". Yes, we can throw death threats at our classmates and we're just quoting the bible, but if you call us pansies you're a bully.
Look at what this tells you about the mindset here. It was a rash of gay kids killing themselves at the beginning of the previous school year that prompted Savage to start his "It Get's Better" campaign, which has never gotten anything but raspberries from the wingers. Yet now they rise in a righteous howl of anger at a small group of fundamentalist kids being called pansies. Look at it. No…really look at it. These are people who just can't figure out why tormenting gay kids to death would be such a big deal with anyone other then it's some kind of political posturing. The way they see it we're posturing so they get to posture too. That gay kids are being made so miserable by the torrent of hatred being directed at them that they want to kill themselves just doesn't seem like it should be such a big deal to the wingers.
And the reason for that is simple, obvious, and sickening. The way the right wing sees it, if the kid is gay then being treated like human garbage is what they should expect. Because they are.
Think I'm engaging in hyperbole there? When did you ever see the kind of outrage on the right toward the tormenting of gay kids that you are seeing now being directed at Dan Savage after he called the fundamentalists who walked out of his talk "pansies". When have you ever heard a winger get upset at gay kids being called that? Cut me a break. They call gay people that and worse all the fucking time and they don't particularly care if gay kids get called names or not. Who is fighting tooth and nail to prevent anti-bullying campaigns from specifically protecting gay kids from being bullied? The same people who are bellyaching about what Dan Savage said to a group of fundamentalists, that's who.
How often do I have to see this before I'm allowed to call it what it is? The way the right wing sees it, the way fundamentalist bigots see it, it is only natural to treat gay kids like human garbage. Because they are. God hates them. My bible tells me so and if yours doesn't you are not a Christian. Make no mistake, the outrage here isn't entirely manufactured, but if you think it's out of sympathy for the kids Savage insulted you are still not getting it. The problem isn't that Dan Savage insulted a group of fundamentalist kids. It's that he told them to leave their gay peers alone, using language they routinely use against their gay peers. He stood up for the gay kids. There's where the anger is coming from.
Brutalizing gay people is one of their most cherished religious sacraments. You mess with that and you will hear the gutter scream like they are being crucified.

Village Tavern toasts Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Hope-tini
During October, Village Tavern ,at 1 West Flatiron Crossing Drive in Broomfield, is marking the 25th anniversary of Breast Cancer Awareness Month by serving up special Hope-tini cocktails to raise money for breast cancer research.
"People are definitely interested," says John Davis, Village Tavern bar manager. "It's that time of year where there is a lot of awareness about cancer."
The restaurant is donating $2 from the sale of each Hope-tini, made with vodka, Tuaca Italian liqueur, Malibu rum, cranberry juice and cream, a combination that results in a cocktail that's the same color as the famous breast cancer awareness ribbon. (It's also available in a non-alcoholic variety.)
"If people like it, we will keep it on the menu," Davis promises. "It's kind of like a sweet caramel cranberry."
Village Tavern serves lunch Monday through Friday, dinner seven days a week and Sunday brunch -- all excellent times to support the fight against breast cancer by downing this special drink.

The Mercury Theatre's first full-length production has been a long time coming. A year ago, the fledging local company attempted to launch with a performance of The Woman in Black, but that show never came together. After hosting a modestly successful reading series last November and a one-act festival last month, the Mercury and managing director Joseph Welles finally felt prepared to unveil an original, Sept. 11-inspired adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 last week, but were thwarted when the fire marshal closed down the production's home—the Warehouse Mall—three days prior to opening night. Welles quickly landed an alternate, albeit meager space, the First United Methodist Church on Main Street, and on Saturday finally debuted his version of Orwell's classic to an audience of 24.
The next night, nine showed.
And on Monday, as I took my seat in the barren basement theater just five minutes before show time, I was the third person in attendance.
"I hope we have a show," Welles greeted me. "The rule is, if the cast outnumbers the house, you send the cast home."
Nobody said launching a theater company was easy, but Welles appears to have the chin to make it happen. Despite the unrelenting setbacks and the inherently upstream struggles associated with raising the capital and compiling the resources to make professional theater happen (the Mercury pays its staff and talent), Welles has managed to stay stubbornly homed in on his goal of bringing experimental theater—"where the subjective interpersonal dynamic is open and spatial dynamism physically and intimately connects the individual with the message"—to Missoula.
The show did in fact go on Monday night, with an eventual crowd of 18 who seemed to cautiously eye this ambitious new player in the local theater scene. There was no applause between the three acts, no gasps or laughs during the action—just a respectful, measuring stare-down from beginning to end.
What the audience saw was far from perfect, and probably short of the Mercury's lofty self-stated goals, but it was also an effort deserving a second look. Welles' risks outweighed his rookie mistakes, and the least his company deserves is a chance to further test its mission with a second go.
Welles' 1984 adaptation is a zig-zag of content true to the original novel and modern-day War on Terror imagery. The protagonist is Winston Smith, a resistant pawn under Big Brother's watchful eye. While working at the Ministry of Truth rewriting history to reflect the interests of those in power, Winston is careful not to smile, not to question authority, or otherwise commit a fatal "thought crime." In the opening scenes, these Orwellian themes of a culture sucked dry by fear and political paranoia are cast contemporarily: A video recounts the World Trade Center attack and the Iraq War, reminding that in the midst of these ongoing struggles "War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength." When Winston and his colleagues at the Ministry are forced to sit through the "Two-Minute Hate"—a therapeutic video presentation of badness—we're introduced not to Orwell's original evildoer, revolutionary Emmanuel Goldstein, but to images of Saddam Hussein. And one of Winston's assignments at work is to spin-doctor an account of the Abu Ghraib prison torture.
Such current events are woven into the original fabric of Orwell's story, presented prominently in the first act and mostly abandoned again until the end of the play. Instead, the production's middle focuses on Winston's budding—and illegal—love of a horny radical named Julia, and Big Brother's inevitable discovery of their affair.
What works and doesn't work within the context of the Mercury's adaptation is almost secondary to the effort itself. It's in style right now to restage 1984 in the present—for example, The Actor's Gang, lead by director Tim Robbins, launched a version last month focused entirely on torture—so it's encouraging that a local company has the stones to offer its own timely take. There are gaps and inconsistencies—Why are Saddam and Goldstein intermittently interchanged? Why does the second act depart entirely from any contemporary connection? But ultimately such gripes are small potatoes in the Mercury's larger stew. If anything, they prove the continuing timeliness of Orwell's book—you don't necessary need to be heavy-handed with an update when the original remains so compelling.
There are other problems with the production, but it's hard to know how harshly to judge them. The venue, for instance, seems more suitable for fourth graders in tutus than for actors orating Orwell. The brown metal folding chairs, the junkyard Ministry desks, the jury-rigged rack of lights—all of it feels über-DIY and amateurish, or at least embarrassingly inadequate for a self-described "coup-de-gras [sic] of multimedia experience." The atmosphere was nonexistent and, small house aside, made for a downright awkward viewing experience, like watching a vocalist in his or her shower rather than on a real stage. But what the hell? Let's grade on a curve, considering Welles had all of three days to find the space and make it his own.
The result is an unfortunate wash, somewhat like the overall production—by turns intriguing and imperfect, promising and pockmarked, striving and saddled. But looking ahead, here's what the Mercury Theatre can build on: the fact that Welles attracted undeniable talent, including Howard Kingston (Indy readers' reigning Best Local Actor), who carries the production from start to finish as the troubled Winston; the fact that the two-hour show moves briskly and never stalls; and the fact that against daunting odds, the show came off at all, giving the Mercury finally something to learn from and improve upon. At the very least, Welles and company deserve that chance.
1984 continues through Friday, April 28, at 7:30 PM at the First United Methodist Church, 300 E. Main St. $12.

- Ecological Problems
The word environment means what is around us. Some people live in a town environment, for others, their environment is the countryside. But the air we breathe, the soil on which we stand and walk, the water we drink are all part of the environment. Today we speak about serious environment problems. They are : -pollution in its many forms( water, air, nuclear) –noise from cars, buses, planes – destruction of wildlife and countryside beauty. –shortage of natural resources. – the growth of population.
The sea waters today are much more dangerous. Many seas are for dumping industrial and nuclear waste. Britain alone dumps 250.000 tons of industrial waste straight into the North sea. Many rivers and lakes are poisoned too. Fish can't live in them/ there is not enough oxygen in the water they can die too.
Nuclear power station can go wrong and cause nuclear pollution. This happened in Chernobyl in 1986. Nuclear pollution cannot be seen but its effects can be terrible.
More and more often people told not to be in direct sunlight, because ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer.
Man needs protection and care as animals do People's homes, towns, cities must be kept ecologically clean. In the places where people drink poisoned water, eat bad food and breathe polluted air they suffer from serious diseases and die early, their children are born weak. This problem becomes more and more serious with every passing day. If people want to survive they must solve all these problems quickly. That's why people all over the world think and speak about so much about ecology.
Greenpeace is an international environmental organization. It was founded in 1969. Members of Greenpeace appear in the places where the environment is in danger. They always act fast and bravely. Greenpeace members are often called as "GREENS". The "greens" are groups of people whose aim is protection of plants and animals. Greenpeace has officer in many countries of the world including Russia.

For men looking to improve their sex life, it's easy to be intimidated by the sheer number of productions, techniques and supplements guaranteeing positive results. That being said, a variety of natural solutions have been proven to be just as effective at enhancing sexual performance. Exercise has been shown to contribute a variety of beneficial physical and psychological benefits to sexually active males, particularly those who in their 40's and 50's. Regardless of which particular exercise plan or routine you choose, the positive benefits of routine activity cannot be denied.
Although intensive exercise routines may prove more beneficial for building physique, studies have shown that basic levels of activity can contribute to a more responsive and healthy physiological framework for intimacy and long-lasting physical and emotional health. We've outlined a few of the most significant health benefits below.
It Boosts Testosterone
Scientists have established a direct relationship between exercise and the production of testosterone in men of all ages. Testosterone offers a number of health benefits, many of which are directly related to muscle growth, physical strength and desire levels. By steadily increasing and maintaining daily exercise habits, men will find themselves looking and feeling much better than they had previously. It's not uncommon for men in their 40's and 50's to experience a loss of sexual desire as a result of steadily decreasing testosterone levels and, consequently, reduced libido. Exercise can act as a deterrent against this process, providing middle-aged men with the energy they need to remain active in both their business and personal lives.
It Improves Stamina
Aerobic exercise has innumerable health benefits, including increased physical endurance and cardiac health. These advantages can translate directly to intimacy with a physical partner, in that men who do exercise regularly will be able to engage in active sex for longer periods of time without becoming fatigued or winded. Although long-lasting, "marathon" sex may not be enjoyed by all individuals, increased stamina will provide men with an extra boost of confidence that will help dissolve any physical or emotional barriers caused by perceived insecurities. As studies have shown that some men develop sexual performance problems due to psychological problems, any "boost" to sexual performance can have a variety of long-term physical and mental benefits.
It Improves Flexibility
By regularly exercising muscles and joints, men can ensure that they stay flexible and mobile as they age. This becomes especially important for men who seek to maintain their sex life into their 40's and 50's. Even low-intensity exercises, such as jogging and walking, have been proven to increase muscle elasticity and flexibility in men of all ages. This becomes particularly important for couples who choose to sustain their sex life through middle age and beyond, a lifestyle choice which is becoming increasingly popular in modern couples.
It Gets You in the Mood
Testosterone levels directly influence desire levels and libido in adult men. Because of this, regular exercise can increase the sex drive of men who may be experiencing reduced libido as a result of aging or stress. The hormones released during sex have also been shown to be effective in reducing stress levels in men. For men who are capable of remaining sexually active, the psychological benefits can be absolutely invaluable. As women reach their sexual peak much later than men (in their late 30's), maintaining testosterone levels and the desire for physical intimacy can be an essential ingredient for ensuring that a relationship remains emotionally and physically satisfying beyond youth.
It Makes You Feel Sexy
Although this may sound shallow at first, a positive self-image can directly affect a number of physiological and psychological factors, including a man's ability to engage in healthy, rewarding sex. As exercise will typically burn fat and build muscle, men can benefit from the biological and aesthetic rewards of regular activity. This will also help to ensure that they remain confident and secure with their own body.
Not only does exercise ensure that our body remains physically healthy, it allows men to engage in the activities and lifestyle choices they enjoy without fear of embarrassment or judgement. Regular exercise can provide significant "perks" for men who desire to remain sexually active for years to come. As regular sexual activity has also been proven to strengthen emotional bonds in couples, the positive benefits of exercise cannot be emphasized enough.
For both men and women, routine exercise can ensure that the body remains physically capable for healthy, satisfying sex. It's important to note that, depending upon your particular health condition, some exercises may be more recommended than others. As with all health-related matters, consult with your doctor prior to embarking upon an exercise routine in order to ensure that you are maximizing the benefits of your chosen activity. If all goes well, you'll quickly begin to see the positive results of your new lifestyle.

Thank you for using JustAnswer. I am researching your issue and will respond shortly.
Was the parole contingent upon not drinking, etc...? Did the terms of the parole talk about arrest / conviction / or other criteria that would be grounds for revocation? That is, are the terms contingent upon the commission of the act, or upon a judicial finding of said commission?
at first when they sentenced him they did not say he couldnt drink, but when he got this new parole officer he put in his own stipulatuon of what he could not do.

04.08.2010 - 05.08.2010
View Summer Travels - 2010 on Queen Anne's travel map.
After a fantastic breakfast of raspberry torte, black Italian coffee with warm milk, and bruschetta with freshly pressed olive oil, we take the train into Venice. Franco, our hostess tells us not to worry about how late we return and she shows us how to work the gate for their home.
For the first time, we are very, very hot and the crowds of Venice discourage us from exploring with our usual enthusiasm. We walk through the town, trying to catch the breezes off the water, and refilling our water bottles at every available source. The crowds visiting Venice are dense and our first struggle is simply to stay in sight of one another as we walk the streets and cross the bridges.
I was excited to visit Venice but quickly I find myself looking forward to our departure. I have an unpleasant sense of being at a party that has gone on too long. Everywhere, there are weary Italians trying to sell us Venetian specialties and we are overcharged for everything from internet usage to water at our lunch. Someone comes up and tells me to take my backpack off as I am tempting the thieves and the songs sung by the gondoliers are Americanized versions of commercialized Italian lovesongs. We look listlessly into churches and museums and know that there is much more to see than we are discovering but the thickness of the tourists and the heat of the day make us long to find a quiet park in which to read away the afternoon. Like the carnival masks in the store windows, Venice feels as though it's wearing a disguise designed for the benefit of the thousands of tourists that walk the streets. We wish we could see behind it, but we never spot a crack.
We leave that evening via water taxi which drops us at the train station. It is jammed and smelly , and I end up holding Langston on my lap so he can take pictures out of the grimy window. For some reason, the train feels more real to us than all of Venice and we are delighted when the doors shut and we begin our ride back to Franco's home. She and her nice husband are waiting up for us and it is lovely to return to their simple home and to look out over the valley behind it.

Wooden wonderland: Lawrence County home designed to accentuate timber skeleton
Patrick Krantz says he had a barn in mind when he designed his three-story, timber-frame home.
But the white cupola above the bright red walls give it the look of an old schoolhouse. For a reason.
"I am a teacher," Krantz says with a grin.
The house was part of "doing something with my life" after a kidney transplant in 2006, but now life has changed again. His marriage has fallen apart and he says it is time to move on. The home on 1.8 acres on a wooded hillside in Lawrence County is for sale for $475,000.
The four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is distinct because of its design, which Krantz says began with him standing on a clearing on the property and deciding which way he wanted the house to sit. Creating a straight line with his arms, he placed the home so it would receive a great deal of light naturally.
Krantz is science education teacher at Westminster College in New Wilmington, Lawrence County. He is the head of the Drinko Center, an outreach program.
The most striking feature of the house is not seen until a visitor goes inside: the timber frame. In that sort of construction, a timber skeleton of the house is prepared, then assembled and raised onsite. The exterior of the home is then built onto the frame, which remains visible on the inside.
It is a construction that creates an interior filled with patterns of wood, sloping down from the roof, running down the walls and cutting across horizontal space.
It is a design Krantz says he felt was suited to the barn-like building he had in mind. He put together a small model of his thoughts and took it to OakBridge Timber Framing. That firm from Howard, Ohio, was founded by Amish workers who had built such structures in their youth.
"They looked at it, stroked their beards, and decided it could work," Krantz says.
Joni (pronounced JO-nye) Miller, office manager of the firm, says Krantz had put together a design that was "friendly for timber-framing."
He says the rectangular, barn-like design was well-suited to a timber frame. Miller also says it was obvious Krantz understood he had to keep the ceilings of the rooms high enough to allow room for the frame.
"He really knew what he was doing," Miller says.
Krantz says he was able to find out "what he was doing" simply by asking questions. When he wondered about using insulation to keep floors warm, he found out about material he could put under flooring to do it.
He also stayed loose enough in his thinking that when some design element emerged, he could react to it creatively, moving a window, for instance, if it needed to happen.
"It's just cutting a hole in the wall," he says.
He also says, half-jokingly, that the width and placement of the hallways were designed so his son, Cooper, now 3, "could get around on his Big Wheel."
While the exterior of the home is traditional, the interior of the home is contemporary, even when timber frames challenge that style. For instance, the kitchen flows into the dining and living area, creating the currently popular open concept.
But the design takes on an L fashion because of the frame.
Also in sync with current design is the first-floor master suite with a large walk-in closet sealed off by rolling barn doors.
The other two bedrooms, which share a full bathroom, are on the second floor which has a loft overlooking the family room.
Hanging next to the loft and over the living area is a electric-candle chandelier Krantz found at a farm in Missouri. It is hanging on a thick, cloth cable, like a line from a sailing ship, mounted in place by two pulleys.
"But it doesn't lower," he says, reaching over to the light and gently spinning it. "It you have to change a bulb, you just reach them this way."
From the loft, it is tempting to look for the stairs to the cupola, but nothing goes up there. The synthetic-walled structure sits on the roof as a decoration rather than a lookout spot.
"I didn't want to cut any holes in the roof," Krantz says. "It doesn't matter what kind of flashing you have, cutting a hole in the roof is just asking for trouble."
The roof, by the way, creates another element of drama. It is known as a "12 by 12," which means it rises 12 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal size, creating 45-degree angles.
The ground floor of the home gets added heat from its own pellet stove, has a kitchenette, bathroom and enough space for a bedroom. It could be a guest or in-law suite, Krantz says.
The house is filled with sought-after features, such as wide-plank hickory flooring in the dining and living area and maple in the loft. The kitchen features cherry cabinets and granite countertops.
The kitchen has a curious blend of old and new: a traditional farm sink done in stainless steel.
The site has a three car, barn-like garage with a room in the second floor that could be a studio or apartment.
Krantz says it took about a year and a half to put the home together, from finding the property in mid-2006 to move-in day in January 2008. He doesn't think he will build from ground up for his next house, but doesn't reject the idea, either.
"I don't think I would mind," he says.

Where top high school teams compete and players get recruited.
Summer Session I, July 7-9, 2017
Summer Session II, July 9-11, 2017
Girls' Summer Session, July 11-13, 2017
From ESPN.com In a tournament comprised of 48 of the best high school lacrosse programs in the country last weekend, the question most frequently posed to the squad representing Lincoln-Sudbury was "When did Massachusetts get so good at lacrosse?" The Warriors attended the invitation-only National High School Lacrosse Showcase in Columbia, Maryland last weekend and… Continue Reading
From RecruitingRundown.com This past weekend, new contributor TJ Oursler was able to attend the National High School Lacrosse Showcase (NHSLS) in Columbia (Md.), an event that features many of the top high school lacrosse teams in the country squaring off against each other for national bragging rights. Calvert Hall (Md.) knocked off perennial power Haverford… Continue Reading
The Flyers became the first team outside of the Baltimore and Washington, DC area to win the National High School Lacrosse Showcase (NHSLS). With the NHSLS just completing its fourth year, the previous champions have been Georgetown Prep and two time winner McDonogh School.
With 43 high school teams competing, just making the eight team playoff field was a challenge. The playoff field was full of lacrosse powerhouse programs: Gilman, Culver, Calvert Hall, Loyola (MD), Ward Melville, St. Paul's, Gonzaga, and the Flyers.
The Flyers displayed tremendous athleticism and great stick skills over the entire weekend. With three straight victories during the elimination round, over traditional MIAA heavyweights Calvert Hall, Gilman, and St. Paul's, the Flyers with their 8-3 victory over St. Paul's in the championship game, clearly proved to be the top team in the 2016 NHSLS.
In the newly created Session II of the NHSLS, twenty teams competed, with nationally ranked programs littering the field. Garden City (34), New Canaan, Haverford, Paul VI, Garnett Valley, and Northport led the field.
In an eight team playoff field, it was Haverford and New Canaan that survived to get to the championship game. In a very competitive, intense game, played in 90 degree weather, it was Haverford taking home the trophy with a 10-7 victory.

Outstanding, diverse collection of art shown in Spanish Colonial style mansion and added buildings. Don't miss this gem!
I am torn what to say about this place. We visited twice. Once in Cooler January and once in April. They offer a free evening to the public one evening a week. We took advantage of the opportunity to see something different add some culture to our children's lives. (It is not all about rollercoasters!) In January we stayed indoors and toured the whole complex inside. On our return visit we briefly stayed indoors and enjoyed the grounds for plenty of picture taking opportunities. Art lover's will love the variety and quantity of art. O'Keefe, Picasso, Monet, and Renoit to name just a few. There is art from the American south west and other varieties from around the world. The mansion and grounds were spectacular. So if you are an adult that loves art, then chaulk up 5 stars. Problem is, I brought my family...with three kids. Do not assume that the problem was the kids. I can assure you that I can admit when they are wrong or misbehaving. I felt like the problem was that the kids are not wanted by the museum. Before we entered the museum, we cautiously told our kids to be on their best behavior and not touch anything. Stay with in a few feet of us, talk sofly and look with your eyes. When we walked in, the receptionists, were very gracious and helpful. We noticed one of the workers in the background had on headgear and was communicating with other workers throughout the complex. Looking back, I can't help but wonder if he was calling out a CODE RED, for kids in the building. For as we entered the first section, a lady immediately got on us for crossing on line on the floor. Okay, our mistake. But what was an annoyance, soon became a comedy of errors. My WIFE, was yelled at twice! When I say yelled at, I don't mean literally, but none the less, lectured. Every room we entered, we were immediately decended on like vultures on road kill. Watching our every move. There are many rooms and this happened throughout the whole complex. My wife was asked to remove a fanny pack she had on her back. It was a small purse, but apparently she could have turned causing a chain reaction of great destruction. Another time she pointed at a picture to show something and was jumped on for having her finger within twelve inches of the object. Every room was the same thing. It is not pleasureable to view art with condescending stares. We did not cause a commotion. We just entered a room and breathed. At one point my youngest son was tired and I proceded to put him on my shoulders. You would have thought I tried to run out of the museum with a painting or two. I am sure anyone reading this is thinking. Okay, sure. I bet those kids were running willy nilly in the museum. I cannot emphasize enough that this was not the case and the proceeding sequence is no exaggeration. We returned in April with my wife saying, "Why are earth, are we going back?" I assured her that we we only go in briefly and then tour the grounds. I thought that the previous time was perhaps a fluke. But when we went indoors we were soon lectured for standing too close to the glass encasement for a piece of art. We immediately headed outside and enjoyed the grounds with no hassle. The San Antonio Art Museum also offers a free night once a week. Not once did we receive this treatment. Nor any other art museums throughout the United States that we have visited. So despite the amount of art and beauty this place provides, I simply cannot give it a good grade based on our experiences there.
I was disappointed with exhibit Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism and I went to museum on Thursday evening so only had to pay for exhibit. There are 40 pictures but it didn't seem like much. I have been to several different exhibits at this museum & this is first I'm disappointed in. If you are from out of town however, museum itself is definitely worth a visit.
A fellow tourist in San Antonio told us about the McNay. Apparently it's one of those undiscovered gems. You'll need to drive a few miles from downtown, but it's worth it. We were surprised by the quality of the collection: Cezzanne, Rodin, Van Gogh, Picasso, Mastisse, Dufy, Chagall, O'Keefe, as well as medieval and renaissance.
The main exhibit area is attached to a beautiful old mansion and courtyard which itself is worth the visit.
Museum gift shops are usually fun, but certainly not something we would normally think to mention in a review -- however, this one is exceptional. We planned on looking for a few note cards but I think we did half of our holiday shopping there.
When you need a break from San Antonio history and the Alamo, go see the McNay Art Museum. Absolutely fantastic. Very reasonable price. Paintings and sculptures are wonderful as is the house that started the museum. We could only spend about 2 1/2 hours but would have like to spend another couple of hours.

Yes, I know it is a featured home page discussuion however I guess, like me, many are bookmarked to come straight here.
This requires your very urgent reading, meaning NOW!
After Monday 28th it may be too late...you may not have a domain name to renew at affordable rates.
It appears that registry pricing is no longer about the costs of running the central registry as a public trust. It's more about the central registry - and ICANN - getting in on the game. You no longer will have to worry about desirable domains falling into the hands of domain speculators. Now, under the new (proposed) system EVERY domain will be in the hands of speculators - even the ones you already "own". Guess how much you will have to pay to renew your domain in the future - because that's all you will know about your own domains renewal costs. It will be a guess, forever hereafter, if this goes through. BS.
Build those domains! Raise their value. ICANN needs to pay for a few more conferences in Tahiti. ICANN likely needs to create many more "make work" jobs for relatives so the money has to come from somewhere.

Just renewed all my .com domains 3 weeks ago for ten years.
Did you read all the way through?
I'm still trying to digest the various implications of it all however a blanket renewal may not be secure enough.
This could have serious implications to all AdSensers, maybe Google will care to comment somewhere?
August 28th is the last date that ICANN will be taking public comments.
Send your comments to all 3 email addresses listed at the above link, for all 3 contracts.
You will need to click on a link in an email ICANN will send to authenticate your email. If you fail to authenticate your email your comments will not be included in the the record.
If the central registry believes the annual value - annual registration value - of Example.info (History.info?) is $100,000.00 then that will be the cost that any and all domain registrars will have to charge for registering or renewing Example.info - plus the registrar's mark-up. Remember: It's not a purchase price, it's an annual lease cost.
This will change .info, .biz and .org to pricing a la .TV - where some domains are held for $100,000+.
Once ICANN is cut loose from oversight by the U.S. Department of Commerce what are the chances that the same variable pricing for .Com and .Net will follow?
It will happen. If the logic/rules attach to .Org or .Biz the same will clearly be applied by ICANN - once it is on its own.

Massive ICANN Domain Name Tax Coming Monday
In this case, since you won't know a domain names renewal fee until the charge is levied do you think you have control of "your property", or as the headling suggests - you've got nothing until ICANN tells you you do?
ICANN: "Mr. zCat, we hereby advise you that the cost to continue as registrant of your website address will be $12,575.25."
Mr. zCat: "Ummm . . but it's my website . . and all those inbound links . . and branding . . and . . "
This will get nightmarish for many, many people if it goes through. The illusion that you have ownership and control over your web identity and web address will start to vaporize.
Oh, you think that you will simply renew your domain for X years ahead? That's a nice idea but it assumes that the rules of the game won't allow the registry to impose "actual applied costs" on top of the extension costs.
Did you ever pay a surcharge? Did you ever pay an extra "administrative fee"? Of course it's not a tax or a charge. It's something else.
My trust of ICANN - a body that has been subject to doubt for awhile - has just flown out the window. This proposal is a radical change, yet the public awareness that has been brought to the issue by ICANN is NIL. Nada.
Do you think ICANN feels any particular fondness for .com or .net?
Do you want to wait until ICANN acts as an entirely autonomous body to find out?
[edited by: Webwork at 4:27 pm (utc) on Aug. 26, 2006]
Such a dramatic shift in policy and so little public notice.
ICANN konws better I guess. "Ssshhhh. Don't wake the world. We're in control now . . "
Frightening. Be afraid. You really don't know if you own or control your domain until you get your renewal surprise bill.
"Surprise! It's going to cost you $2,500.00 to maintian your identity this year. Please send your check within 10 days or you will lose your domain, in which case we'll automatically redirect the domain to the central registry's servers - as we have been instructed to do by ICANN, at which time the central registry will place PPC ads on the domain's new landing page, and we'll all (ICANN, the central registry and us, your registrar) will split the proceeds. Have a nice day."
You don't think something like that is in the offing?
You trust ICANN?
Sure, just like you trusted ICANN to give you notice and opportunity to comment about such a dramatic change in the domain name system - so you could comment and have some input about how they handle the public trust of the domain name system.
IF this can happen to .org and .info then .com and various other ccTLDs are certain to follow. This attempted sweeping change in policy will effect every single domain holder sooner or later. People need to wake up and sign in and make their voices heard now. If you don't burn down the house now - by filing a statement with ICANN by Monday August 28th - it may well be your house burnt to the ground in the future.
Everyone of you.
"Surprise . . . $1,250 . . .
[edited by: Webwork at 5:05 pm (utc) on Aug. 26, 2006]
Here's a sample of unregistered .tv domains and the annual - that's yearly - price to register them (or renew them):
Import.tv - $1000/year
Export.tv - $2000/year
Doll.tv - $1000/year
Home.tv - $50,000/year
Webmaster.tv - $5,000/year
Dallas.tv - $10,000/year
Medical.tv - $20,000/year
Baby.tv - $30,000/year
That's the current, undeveloped, annual price. It's not a "pay this price and it's yours to keep" price. I'm not sure where they're getting their "this is what we should charge" information but I guess in the future you may all be facing this reality.
If you sit on your hands.
