Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
The walls of downtown and Central Phoenix have been springing to life over the past few years, thanks to local artists looking to define this community through public art. Three specific areas of CenPho have become the home to a majority of these large-scale wall masterpieces: 16th Street, Roosevelt Row, and Grand Avenue. And there is no better way to take in this massive public museum than by bike. The three areas can be cycled on an easy, flat 10-mile circuit beginning and ending at Barrio Café on 16th Street, home to the Calle 16 Mural Project. With stops at The Hive, Roosevelt Row (be sure to check the alleys!), Phoenix Public Market, and Grand Avenue and Fillmore Street, Phoenix's finest mural artists are on display, with works by Lalo Cota, DOSE, Joerael Elliott, Jenny Ignaszewski, Rose Johnson, El Mac, and Luster Kaboom. Each of the murals speaks to, for, and about Phoenix in a unique, insightful, reflective, and provocative way, and seeing them by bike gives cyclists a chance to really stop and appreciate them as more than just wall decorations, because, after all, this art belongs to all of us.
Living in the city requires regular intervals of time away from the computer, the car, work and just about everything else. Our favorite place to let our worries fall away and get in touch with our inner center of peace, love, and all that wonderful hippie stuff is on the seemingly endless trails around South Mountain Park/Preserve.South Mountain encompasses more than 16,000 acres and is the largest municipal park in the country, so it's easy to avoid the crowds of screaming kids, hipster hikers, and scenesters. There are 51 miles of trails around the mountain, which open at 5 a.m. and stay open until 11 p.m. On one Sunday each month the park has a "Silent Sunday" when motorized traffic is restricted. It's our favorite time to really get our zen on.
Fans of Jim Thompson or Raymond Chandler will appreciate a drive down Grand Avenue at sunset. This isn't the pretty, well-manicured part of Phoenix. Dive bars line the street next to cheap, weekly rate motels. To the west, graffitied rail cars sit waiting to get hauled on to their next stop, and if you keep driving, you'll eventually run into I-10. From there you can just keep driving and eventually end up in L.A.But our favorite thing about a sunset drive is the feeling of leaving something behind and moving toward an unknown adventure, if only temporarily. Grand Avenue has an odd ability to accomplish both these feats. It transports you out of the mirage of Phoenix without requiring you to fill up the gas tank.
Signs warn of smuggling activity on this road, and it's possible you may run into some undocumented immigrants. But as development closes around the Valley, consider the smugglers your competition for the bumps and slides of Vekol Valley Road and its spurs, located southwest of Maricopa. The road is accessed off Interstate 8, about 13 miles west of the intersection of Maricopa Road and State Route 84. Taking the Vekol Valley Road exit (Exit 144), the network of dirt roads and washes takes you deep into the southern quadrant of the federal Sonoran Desert National Monument, a vast preserve of near-pristine wilderness. We drove the 15 miles from I-8 to the trailhead of Tabletop Mountain on a cool Saturday morning and saw no other vehicles or people until the afternoon, when we spotted a family on the trail and a pickup truck (possibly a smuggler) driving through an arroyo. On this road, the Wild West is still just a bit wild. From the adventurer's point of view, that's a good thing.
Phoenix is bound by history, be it the scattered ruins left by the Hohokam or the Old West cowboy and mining heritages created by pioneers pushing west. But some of the true greatness of Arizona's history is embedded in its geology — how the land was formed, baked, eroded, and mined, exposing all sorts of natural treasures to experience and elusive mineral treasures to seek. It is this adventure for natural and mineral bounty that makes the eastward run to the old (and still active) mining towns of Miami and Globe such a rich experience.
Start out of the Valley heading east on the Superstition Freeway, bending around the base of the Superstition Mountains. Stop by Arizona's oldest botanical garden (Boyce Thompson Arboretum in nearby Superior) and roll down Miami's main drag, Sullivan Street, before getting into Globe. Founded in the 1870s, Globe became the Pinal County seat, as well as one of the richest copper-mining areas in the country. Today, its oddities include the Elks Lodge Building (the "World's Tallest Three-Story Building," according to Ripley's Believe It or Not), one of the last remaining copper smelters in the United States, and the massive Besh-ba-Gowah pueblo, as well as a multitude of old mining town streets lined with shanties and old homes from the turn of the 20th century.
For the return trip home, continue to head back through time along the Apache Trail. The first section runs up along the west bank of Lake Roosevelt, passing by the Tonto National Monument cliff dwellings and the Theodore Roosevelt Dam. Just beyond the dam, the remainder of the Apache Trail is dirt, making for a very slow but incredibly beautiful drive through the heart of the Superstition wilderness, along the Salt River, and past Apache and Canyon lakes. The late-afternoon, early-evening hours turn the desert to hues of gold, red, orange, and magenta as the trail runs alongside high cliffs. Beware of some killer sunset glare as the road drives westward. The dirt will begin to feel endless, but it kicks out at Tortilla Flat as the paved road twists through Apache Junction and back to the Superstition Freeway.
When the mercury levels in Phoenix skyrocket into the triple digits, it's time to start planning an escape route. When we're looking to get out of town for a quick visit to cooler temps, we like to jump on the Beeline and book it up to Strawberry for a dose of pine trees, fresh air, and maybe a cheese-making class and a little quality time with a goat or two. Just an hour and half outside of Phoenix, the Fossil Creek Ranch in the heart of the Tonto National Forest offers everything from hiking with llamas to fudge-tasting from their very own fudge factory and cheese-making classes using the milk from the ranch's very own goats. Bring the kiddos up for the day to play with the baby goats, meet the pretty llamas, and take a tour of the creamery. The ranch is open every day except for Christmas Day and admission is just $3 per person or $10 per carload.

[COSTA RICA-USA] The Colorado snowstorm in March is getting all the attention heading into the Costa Rica-USA qualifier Friday night, but the June monsoon played its role as well.
Costa Rica hosted Panama in round six of the Hexagonal June 18 as rain inundated the National Stadium, and a soggy first half ended
0-0. The fortunes of the home team seemed poised to tip either way, depending on the result. A loss could be crushing, a tie disappointing, a victory uplifting.
"The mentality of
the Costa Rican player, when things are going well, they feel great about themselves," says Steve Sampson, who during his long coaching career has managed
both national teams that meet at the National Stadium Friday night. "And it doesn't take much to take them from being an average team to one playing with a lot of confidence."
Early in the second half, a rather dubious foul call in the Panama defensive third proffered Costa Rica a free kick from the right side. Bryan Ruiz
struck a low drive that nicked a Panamanian in the wall and slid inside the far post. But that goal, while a welcome relief to the home team and its crowd, paled in comparison to what transpired a few
minutes later.
Following a Panamanian corner kick, Costa Rica countered. Ruiz knocked a ball from the left side into the middle, where Celso Borges
touched it once and then let fly. That ball sailed through the rain past keeper Jamie Penedo and stung the net behind the top corner. A great goal had been
scored, but it meant much more: pride and confidence had been restored. At least for the time being.
"Right now, they feel good about themselves," said Sampson. "But if
the United States comes in and beats Costa Rica, it would literally be taking two steps backwards. And if Mexico beats Honduras, Costa Rica would be back down in third and then all the critics would
start coming out and start bashing the team. The players listen to those things and read all the articles and they take a lot of personal pride in what the fans and media think of them, almost to a
Actually, Mexico and Costa Rica would be tied for second place with 11 points if those results occurred but just as important would be the psychological aspects.
The ramped-up rhetoric about the Commerce City snowstorm is real and in addition to the three points, Costa Rica certainly wants redemption for a perceived injustice. And it has the means by which
to beat the USA -- means that were bogged down in snow last March and seldom materialized.
Though he's been spotty for the national team, RSL forward Alvaro Saborio is a crafty finisher and one of the best headers of the ball among Concacaf strikers. Ruiz, who plays his club ball in England with Fulham, operates in the hole and is the
main danger when Costa Rica pushes forward. Both in terms of the role he plays and his club experience, Ruiz is similar to Clint Dempsey, his former teammate at Fulham, but
didn't adapt nearly as well to the piles of snow in March. Dempsey got the only goal.
"Dempsey is a great comparison to Ruiz. They both developed their game in the domestic
league, then went overseas and excelled," says Sampson. "Dempsey, before he went to Seattle, probably had the better of the two careers, but Ruiz continues to demonstrate an incredibly
high level of skill and athleticism. Technically, he's an exceptional player."
Sampson is also a fan of keeper Keylor Navas, who
starred for Costa Rica at the U-17 World Cup during Sampson's tenure with the senior team (2002-04).
"He really is an exceptional goalkeeper," says Sampson.
Navas, Saborio and Ruiz are three of many Costa Ricans playing overseas, which complicates the task of Coach Jorge Luis Pinto. Of the 24 players named to Costa
Rica's roster for the USA game, more than half -- 13 -- play outside the Costa Rican league.
"Ruiz almost has to be the goalscorer, because Saborio at the national team level
has been inconsistent," says Sampson. "He's done well with Real Salt Lake but has had his ups and downs with Pinto. However, I would bet money that he starts against the United
In his previous stint as coach of Costa Rica, Pinto replaced Sampson. At that time, nearly all of the players were based domestically with clubs such as Alajuela or
Herediano, though a few like Paulo Wanchope found success overseas. Now, Pinto has much the same problem as U.S. coach Jurgen
Klinsmann: to meld players from disparate environments into a competitive unit on short notice.
"His job is a lot harder because he really doesn't have time to train a
lot of his players," says Sampson, "but what he has done is use the confidence of those players who have done well overseas. So many times in the past, players would last six or nine
months and come back almost in disgrace, and it would affect their play for the national team.
"If they tie or beat the United States, even though mathematically it won't be a
done deal, they'll qualify for the World Cup," says Sampson. "With the Costa Ricans seeking revenge for what happened in Denver, to the fact that the game is being played in the
National Stadium instead of Saprissa, to the fact that the U.S. has never won in Costa Rica but could clinch if they do, there's a lot going on. I'm really looking forward to watching

Monmouth fifth year senior Kyle Frazier (Gaithersburg, Md./Damascus) has picked
up his third weekly honor, this time being named Eastern College Athletic
Conference Offensive Player of the Week after his performance in Monmouth's
dominating 41-6 win over Rhode Island last weekend.
Frazier led an offensive explosion for the Hawks, which tallied 539 yards of offense and racked up 41 points against Colonial Athletic Association opponent Rhode Island. Helping the Hawks to their second win over a CAA foe in as many seasons, Frazier produced 321 yards of total offense and led the Hawks on scoring drives on six of their first seven possessions with five touchdowns. The 6-foot-3 veteran quarterback went 18-of-28 passing for 264 yards and three touchdowns. Frazier added 57 yards on seven rushing attempts, four of which resulted in at least a 10-yard gain and a first down. The fifth-year senior capped the opening 13-play, 85-yard drive by finding Kwabena Asante (Silver Spring, Md./James Hubert Blake/WVU) for an eight-yard scoring strike. With the Hawks holding a 17-3 lead in the second quarter, Frazier escaped pressure and found tight end Michael McLafferty (Morgan, N.J./War Memorial) alone in the endzone for a 25-yard touchdown.
Under Frazier's direction the Hawks did not punt until the final play of the third quarter, which was his last drive of the day with the game out of reach for the Rams. The 41 points, 38 of which were on drives led by Frazier, is the most against a non-conference opponent since a 2005 win over LaSalle.

Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown dating adopted brother?
Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's only daughter is rumored to be engaged to Nick Gordon, her so-called "adoptive brother."
Since Whitney Houston died last month at age 48, Bobbi has had a hard time dealing with the loss.
She has been hospitalized for anxiety twice and opened up about the tragedy that struck her in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on national television.
Now reports say the 19-year-old was recently photographed in Atlanta holding hands and kissing Nick Gordon.
In addition, Bobbi has been spotted wearing a diamond engagement ring that once belonged to her mother.
Gordon is a 22-year-old man that Whitney took in when he was 12 and had been living with the family in her Atlanta home.
"The situation is beyond sad," a source told Us Weekly. "Whitney never formally adopted Nick, but he lived with her and Bobbi Kristina from the age of 12 and they were raised like brother and sister. Nick came from a really bad background."
According to a source cited by the Us, Bobbi and Nick are living together in one of Houston's Atlanta properties.
"Bobbi Kristina is still so vulnerable since her mother passed away," the insider added. "But Nick has become like her rock."
The source also mentioned that Bobbi's grandmother, Cissy Houston, "is worried."

Yes, Another Basement Insulation Question
I am getting ready to finish off my basement in Minneapolis. I have read all the Building Science pieces in all the posts I have searched over.
My question has to do with the size of polystyrene sheet to use. The building inspector said I could just use the 2" board and no further insulation in the framing. That gives me an R value of 10.
Pricing the styrene (Rigid Foamular Insulation) and unfaced insulation bats at my favorite home improvement store (HD, NOT Menards) I have determined that it would be more cost effective to use a 1" poly board and use unfaced insulation in the framing. The 1" board R value is 5 and the unfaced insulation R value is 13. That would give me a total R value of 18 at a rough estimate savings of 17%.
The landscape slopes towards the street and I believe we have the drainage pretty good at the rear.
MY QUESTION: Do you think it would be OK to go the 1" board and unfaced insulation as opposed to 2" board?
From Building Science:
Walls with 3.5 inches of extruded polystyrene (XPS) and noproportionately reduced in milder climates.
vapor barrier performed the best in this analysis. However,
walls with 0.75 inches of extruded polystyrene and 3.5 inches of
fiberglass batt insulation in the cavity would perform well as
long as interior humidity was controlled below 50 percent
during the summer. Increasing the extruded polystyrene to 1.0
or 1.5 inches would improve performance even with higher
interior relative humidity during the summer months. This
part of the analysis assumed that the concrete wall had a
relative humidity of 100 percent at the exterior temperature.
Since these studies were for a climate location similar to
Minnesota, the thickness of rigid insulation (R-value) could be
Thanks for any input.
Or just go with Sprayfoam and forgive the combo batt & foam board.
Do you think that would be more cost effective than either of the options I have mentioned?
I may use this procedure to seal up the rim joists once all the mechanical, electrical, and plumbling have been done...depending on price.
In the long term, yes.
1" foam and R 13 here.
I believe BS says to keep humidity levels below 50% with this combo.
I did the 2" XPS at the sill band , doubled up for 4" to = R20
The basement is considerably warmer without opening any heat ducts even, no regrets.
I want to do this properly w/o overkill ($$$).
The framing is 2x4 up tight against the 1" xps , so R5 foam + R13 glass.
Sill joist band area only was 4" of xps.
Lots of threads on this using the search feature.
Sure its overkill but I want my comfort in the winter.
Main floor 72f , basement 66.5f ( with basement heating ducts closed)
outside 37.6f gotta luv those remote temp moniters.
Sorry High Gear, I misunderstood, what you have done sounds exactly what I want to do. I thought you had 4" of XPS all the way down the wall.
I want to have a 1" poly board and unfaced insulation in the framing(R5 + R13). I was asking if 1" of poly instead of 2" will create a moisture problem on the inside of the board (condensation). I will monitor the humidity levels in the summer to see if I need a humidifier.

"Beautiful church, amazing location! The coordinator here went above and beyond to help us along the way with all of the questions we had. The church is magnificent and was exactly what we were looking for. The altar is incredible! I gave St. John's an A- because it looked like the floors hadn't been swept in quite awhile. It definitely needed a cleaning!"

"This venue is absolutely beautiful and modern – everything we wanted! Our guests absolutely loved the space as much as we did and the atmosphere was just perfect for our reception! The people here were pleasant to work with and answered all of the questions we had along the way. The price to rent the space is one of the highest I've ever seen and they charge you extra to use their candelabras and curtains, which is the only reason we didn't give Artesano an A+."

"Trendy, fabulous and perfect! We had the "Chocolate Room" in the back of the original Continental and it couldn't have been better. We did a family-style dinner and they just kept bringing out course after course after course! I was full after the appetizers and there was still 8 more courses to go! The food was incredible and the cocktails were also incredible – as always! The service was above and beyond and we really had a flawless evening! I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something a little different than the typical rehearsal dinner. Awesome."

Exploring the impact of criminal HIV disclosure laws on persons living with and at risk for HIV infection in New Jersey
The Foundation's program, Public Health Law Research: Making the Case for Laws That Improve Health, was designed to build the evidence for public health law and policy, translate research findings into practical tools to increase the support for and use of law by policy-makers and public health practitioners, and to translate findings to other fields and venues to improve and protect health.This grant provides support to the Medical College of Wisconsin to examine the impact of New Jersey's Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) disclosure laws on 500 HIV+ and 250 "at-risk" residents of New Jersey. This project will attempt to assess the effectiveness of HIV disclosure laws as a public health HIV prevention intervention and determine whether concerns that these laws may have unintended negative effects on HIV transmission prevention efforts and on the life quality of persons living with HIV are valid. Measures include participants' understanding of the law, perceptions of its legitimacy, perceived HIV-related stigma, comfort with seropositive status disclosure, HIV testing and sexual behavior. Deliverables for the project include a Power Point presentation, a fact sheet, Web site display, abstract for presentation at the 2011 APHA Annual Meeting, manuscripts for journal publication and dissemination to law and public health professionals, and a white paper to be presented to New Jersey legislative committee members.

Tony Blair said the documents exonerated his officials and proved that he had not sought to increase his role in the funeral, but the publications accused of manufacturing the dispute claimed yesterday's intervention only deepened Mr Blair's problems.
Peter Oborne, political editor of the Spectator, who wrote the first of the articles complained of by Downing Street, said the prime minister and his advisers had lost their sense of perspective. "I think they are close to becoming demented," he told The World at One on BBC Radio 4.
"I think they are in this hall of mirrors where they think there is a conspiracy against them. There isn't. They think there are vendettas being run against them. There isn't. This is a matter of simple fact. They are trying to 'pre-butt' imaginary threats from afar which exist only in their own minds, as far as I can tell."
While the documents released by Downing Street show that Claire Sumner from No 10 did call Black Rod, Downing Street says her questions about the prime minister's role were guided by a 1994 note which suggested that the he ought to be present when the coffin arrived at Westminster Hall for the lying in state.
But Charles Moore, editor of the Daily Telegraph, which picked up the story, said the dossier proved Mr Blair was attempting to boost his role. "I think that it constitutes an admission that the facts of the original stories were basically right.
"Alastair Campbell has moved from saying it was all lies to admitting that the prime minister was trying to walk before the Queen Mother's coffin before it arrived at Westminster Hall.
"Claire Sumner says that she was trying to arrange for the prime minister to meet the coffin because her 1994 document said he should. But the 1994 document says nothing about the prime minister meeting the coffin."
The Tories stepped up pressure on Mr Campbell to quit. Tim Collins, shadow Cabinet Office minister, told the Today programme: "I think that Mr Alastair Campbell - who we believe is on a salary in the order of £150,000 a year, a third more than a cabinet minister, nearly three times what a MP gets - really should be considering his position."
Liberal Democrat chairman Mark Oaten said: "It is a pathetic reflection on politics that the two main parties have to drag the positive memories of the Queen Mother's funeral through the press. This unseemly row does neither of them any credit."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's been a relatively quiet hurricane season, but with the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy coming up it's worth knowing exactly how much damage Mother Nature can inflict upon your home with a power outage -- and what you can do about it. U.S. homeowners may not want to dwell on the topic (after all, who looks forward to a blackout?), but power outages can leave household budgets in tatters in addition to leaving the house in the dark. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, power outages cost American households about $150 billion annually, and at the height of hurricane season on the East Coast about 3.5 million Americans can expect a loss of electrical power in their homes. Briggs & Stratton, a maker of backup power generators. Sheltering in a hotel: $150 per night
Removing household mold: $3,000
Fixing basement flood damage: $21,890
Replacing spoiled food: $200 The U.S. Department of Human Services generally agrees, saying basement and appliance repairs, spoiled food and extended hotel stays are the most common costs incurred by homeowners during and after a power outage. Being in the backup power generator business, Briggs & Stratton obviously wants you to buy a generator, but it's not necessarily a bad idea. Power generators can reduce or eliminate the costs of a blackout. according to Fixr.com. A medium-sized unit, which can provide much-needed heat to most of the home on cold nights, costs between $4,000 and $10,000. A large unit, which can heat and light an entire home, costs between $9,000 and $15,000. Sure, that's a lot of cabbage, but eliminating the cost of a dead sump pump, which can lead to basement flooding and household mold can make a generator worth the cost. "A homeowner can incur greater costs from a single prolonged power outage than from investing in preparation measures, such as installing a standby generator system before an emergency occurs," says Amanda Grandy, marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton Standby Power. "A standby generator protects a home's appliances from losing functionality when utility power is knocked offline and gives families peace of mind after a hurricane or strong storm."

Jobless lowest in 4 yrs - Thanks Mr. President!
Posted in the St. Marys Forum
#1 Dec 7, 2012
The Labor Department said today the U.S. added 146,000 jobs last month. The unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent, the lowest since December 2008.
Good job Mr. President, good job!
Dec 7, 2012
PS. Hum... anyone hear that sound? Believe that was Redneck, Bubba, Moreno and other Republicans sighing in disappointment that unemployment went down yet again. Something like 30+ months in a row we've created jobs rather than lose them like with Bush. Yep, what's good for the country makes Republican's heads explode. Good times indeed!
#2 Dec 7, 2012
First, let me say I'm a Independent and thrilled with any reduction in unemployment in this country. However, the gov't compiles those figures from citizens currently on the unemployment rolls. They have no way of accounting for citizens who have exhausted their unemployment benefits....and remain unemployed or underemployed or, sadly, have simply given up looking for employment because positions which once had 20-30 applicants how have over 100 applying.
#3 Dec 8, 2012
Hayneedle: Thanks for your rational comments. As you say, the government has no viable way to account for every single worker so clearly these numbers could be off a little or a lot. That said, the amount of data the government obtains monthly to produce this report is huge. And to the best of their abilities each month using the same economic and mathematical formulas, they tell us where we stand and which way we're headed. Lastly, as I'm sure you're aware, the report is not "massaged" to obtain any particular number despite what Fox News may say.
Semi-related, yesterday Florida just reported their lowest unemployment rate since 2008 so clearly the country is headed in the right direction job wise. Georgia has been reporting better numbers for over a year now as well. So it's fairly easy and accurate to say President Obama's team is doing something right and the public obviously agrees.

#4 Dec 8, 2012
Give me 6 trillion dollars to spend and control of the country and I will guarantee you employment will be less than 2%.
The empty suit community organizer is the most incompetent person elected president of the USA. He makes Jimmy Carter look presidential!!!
#5 Dec 8, 2012
If FOX alleges "massaged", that's like a guarantee it's not. I put little faith in major media's reporting of events. They editorialize everything.

What Obamanation and his "team" are ding is not counting the tens of thousands who have quit looking and counting the tens of thousands of temporary seasonal retail workers long with the tens of thousands of new federal workers being hired to swell the union ranks of sure-thing Dem voters.
Meanwhile, the advertizing campaign to buy millions more votes by encouraging increased food stamp utilization continues apace.

Actually, your assertion shows how little you know, but we on Topix's already knew that.
President Obama is tied for 14th best president of all time. The only two semi-modern day Republican presidents higher are T. Roosevelt and Eisenhower.
And trust me, after winning with a "mandate" as Bush says, President Obama's going higher on the list after his next four years ends.
And "your welcome" from the millions of us that voted Democrat.

Jay, have you stopped praying again? Just remember, we liberals and conservatives are still praying for you.

A darn big chuck of that 6 trillion went to clean up the messes left after Republicans Bush & Cheney got done fuc*ing America and the world for 8 nightmare years.
America is out of recession and growing; countries who did not spend there way out are still in or back in recession.
We'll climb out of this Republican caused fiscal mess in 20 years time thanks to Democratic leadership. And it'd be nice if Republicans would stop being obstructionist and get on with actual work to help the county.
Oh yea, I agree, good job Prez!

Oh, you mean the bailout of the auto workers? Or education money to the states with lots of union teachers. No, wait, it was infrastructure construction money to closed shop states. There is close to 200 billion of the 896 bullion in the first stimulus bill that is not accounted for. It is believed that the SEIU union and ACORN got bunches for voter education and turn out.
Here is some more education material for you socialist pukes. Don't know who put it together but its the truth:
"The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush...
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."

Most Americans including the "Rich" wouldn't mind paying a little more tax if it was F***ing GUARENTEAD that every penny would go to pay down the deficit.
The one thing must rich people can't stand is seeing good money being pissed away.
That is of course excluding the Osprey Cove politicians.

Watford face three of their promotion rivals next month but Gianfranco Zola says his players are fully focused on tonight's game against Sheffield Wednesday.
Although Watford, who are third in the Championship, play Cardiff, Hull and Leicester in April, Zola knows this month could be crucial in deciding who goes up.
"We don't want to make the mistake of focusing on the future when the present is more important," he said. "Once that is gone, you can then think about the rest. It's been a long season, we are coming to the point where it becomes intense. We are going for 11 victories. We are looking to win every game but first we're focused on Sheffield Wednesday, and then Saturday against Blackpool."
Matthew Briggs could make his debut after joining on loan from Fulham until the end of the season.
CRYSTAL PALACE midfielder Jonathan Williams is in line to start against Hull at Selhurst Park after coming off the bench against Derby last Friday.
MILLWALL striker Rob Hulse could miss the visit of Wolves due to a stomach injury. Winger James Henry should feature despite being the victim of a strong challenge at Leeds.

Audioengine 5+
REVIEW DATE : December 6, 2011
PROS: Audiophile-quality performance. Flat response speakers that provide refined bass performance. Attractive design.
A while back, Audioengine introduced the Audioengine 2 ($199, 4 stars), powered desktop monitors that are the closest thing to flat response, audiophile-level speakers you'll find under $200. The Audioengine 5+, also referred to by the company as the A5+ are an update to the A5 ($349, 4 stars), and the size, price, and performance are raised to another level. Sure, $399 (direct) is an investment, but considering most entry-level, high performance stereo speakers start at around $400 each (so double that for a pair), the self-powered A5+ seems like a deal. The speakers deliver beautiful high-frequency clarity and a tight (though never booming) bass response. Perfect as monitors for your home studio, or simply a giant leap up from typical PC speakers, the A5+ earns an Editors' Choice for its excellent value and performance.
The 15.4-pound left and 9.6-pound right speaker connect to each other via a typical stereo speaker cable, with the left, powered speaker delivering the juice to the right passive speaker. All of the remaining connections are on the back panel of the left speaker. From top to bottom, the connections are: a 3.5mm audio input, USB Power port (for charging devices like an iPhone), an RCA input, an variable output (for connecting a subwoofer or another speaker), the output to the right speaker, the Power switch, Voltage select (between 115 and 240 Volts), and the AC Power input. Both speakers have a rubberized bottom, which keeps the speakers from dancing across slick surfaces and also cuts down on vibrations caused by the speakers. There's also a ¼-inch threaded insert on each speaker for securing them to stands. The system ships with the power cable, a 3.5mm audio cable for connection to PCs, smartphones, and portable media players, and a RCA speaker cable.
A cheap-looking and feeling black remote control also ships with the pair—it has membrane buttons and only controls the Volume, Mute, and Sleep functions. Since the speakers do not integrate with iTunes or your computer's playback functions, however, this is just about all you can control. Some users will wish there was a way on the remote or the speakers to tinker with the bass and treble levels.
Before we discuss the A5+'s audio performance, let's briefly discuss the differences between it and the older A5, which is $50 cheaper and still available from Audioengine. The A5+'s most notable upgrades are the inclusion of a remote control, the variable preamp line out (for subs), RCA and mini-jack inputs, and most importantly, a speaker cabinet with that includes a rear-ported waveguide, which helps deliver better clarity and power in the low frequencies. So, yes, the A5 looks very similar, but the connectivity and actual performance have been upgraded enough to warrant the $50 price difference.
Performance and Conclusions
The A5+ pair can get incredibly loud before even a hint of distortion appears. Even if you're using them in a home studio, it's highly unlikely you'll ever hear a hint of distortion, even on songs with deep bass like The Knife's "Silent Shout." Of course, at absolute maximum volume, you will likely not only encounter distortion, but you run the risk of damaging the speaker—and your ears. But to put this in perspective, at 50 Watts a channel, this system at half volume is likely going to be louder than many sub-$200 systems can get near their maximum volume levels. In other words: the distortion is not going to be an issue, unless you plan on using these speakers in weird, unadvisable ways.
On classical tracks, like John Adams' "The Chairman Dances," the tweeters sparkle as they deliver the mid and high frequency ranges with precision. The lower frequencies of the percussion and larger stringed instruments are less powerful and resonant than they are on other speakers. The effect, however, is stunning. This is how most high-end speakers used to sound, before booming bass was king. It's not that deep bass doesn't exist through the A5+; it's that, as it did for decades, it plays a dutiful supporting role to the crisp, enthralling mids and highs. Rock, hip hop, and electronic music sound excellent on the A5+, but it is instrumental music that shines the most. From a recording studio perspective, the lack of booming bass makes the A5+ an ideal reality check for your mixes—this type of flat response, with a focus on the clarity of the mids-to-highs, used to be what all studio monitors aspired to.
If $400 is too much for your budget, but the description of the flat response A5+ is to your liking, the Audioengine 2 follows a similar path, though it lacks the same powerful output and is a bit less capable with bass response. If serious bass is what you crave, you're most likely going to want a 2.1 system. Beyond this price range, the Focal XS ($599, 4 stars) sounds fantastic—it's a 2.1 system that still tries to adhere to some flat response standards. On the lower end of the price scale, Harman Kardon's SoundSticks III ($169.95, 4.5 stars) is a tried and true classic PC speaker set, and the Antec Soundscience Rockus 3D 2.1 PC Speaker System ($199.99, 4.5 stars) is a $200 gem. If $400 is not out of your budget, however, the Audioengine 5+ is a superb stereo speaker set that delivers audio in a classic, flat response style that is rare these days.

- - gnu cc vs yes basic (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/48287-gnu-cc-vs-yes-basic.html)
gnu cc vs yes basic
I wrote previously on this forum asking for a board that would allow me to groom down slopes, do ground tricks(butters), and maybe start to do things like rails. And many of you left different suggestions and I narrowed it down to two. The gnu cc and the yes basic. I personally like the yes basic better because of its sick, simple design. I understand many of you love the gnu cc, but could I get by with the yes basic or is the gnu THAT much better? Could you please help me disitinguish the differences so that I can order my first board ever? Thanks a ton!
Also could you reccomend some bindings?
Also I'm thinking about boots with the boa tech thing. What do you think about those?
The CC is not the better board but has a different concept. The main difference between the two boards is the camber profile. The YES has rocker in tip and tail and a mild camber section between the feet. The CC is the other way round. Both concepts are good, it comes down to personal preference. I prefer the YES (I own three of their boards) because I find it to be more forgiving overall and better in powder while being just as stable at higher speeds.
CC has magnetraction. It is also very simular to the skate banana. I rode a 159 CC about a month ago in 24 inches of powder and had a great day on it. Good float in the powder and solid landings. I haven't riden a Yes board so no pinion on them. The CC is Made in the USA.
What lenght are you looking to get?
Looks like yes boards have a deeper sidecut radius.
I was actuallyn hoping you guys could help me with the board length as well. I'm 5'7 145 lbs and boot size 9.5. Would a board ranging from 154-157 be okay? Does it make that big of a difference? What are the pros and cons?
I heard some great things about magnetractionn, however, i dont know if it matters or not, but I am most likely not going to be boarding a lot in pow. Shouldl that effect my choice between the two boards?
As far as sizing goes. 154-157 at your weight is just dandy for all mountain riding, if that's what you are trying to do.
Uh, what kind of riding are you trying to do?
edit: for possible sintered base on yes basic
I own a Gnu CC 153 and this past season I had a ride on my friend's YES Jackpot (similar to the Basic).
I'm actually considering getting a Basic to replace my CC. Like the poster said above, the 2 board profiles are night and day and it comes down to your preference. The CC is reverse camber between the bindings and flat from the bindings to the tip/tail. The board feels very forgiving and turns very easily. The downside to this design is instability at speed, especially on harder surfaces. The board feels like it wants to rotate about the center.
The YES camrock profile is camber between the bindings then rocker thereafter. I prefer this profile. You get the stability of camber with the milder and shortened camber, but you still get the forgiveness of the rocker profile. On my other camrock board (Nidecker Megalight), I found that if I brought my knees together I could initiate a turn very easily, probably due to the action causing the cambered between the bindings to become flat.
The last thing is the magnetraction. If you ride in a place with icy or hard conditions, it's awesome to have.
As for size, I'm 5'10" 145lbs. My CC is 153 and for my purposes (no park, no jibbing, groomers, pow), I would have gotten a longer one. Currently considering a 155 Basic.
Don't think you can go wrong with either board though.
All i want to do is mostly groom and carve down the slopes and do ground tricks,(butters). Maybe some rails, jibs, and jumps.. I can't imagine myself going off those big jumps, so nothing too serious. Please let me know what size i should get soon, because i want to order it soon! The yes Basic come in 150,155, and 157. I personally like the color of the 157 more than the 155... could I get away riding the 157 or should I just go with the 155? But if you guys think the 155 would be perfect for me, I can deal with it(: I am 146 pounds and shoe size is 9.5 and I am 5'7. Thank you so much!
The 150 or 155 based on weight. 155 will be a little more versatile and the 150 will be more for park.
I just bought a Yes Basic 155 on saturday and took it out on sunday. I took it down groomers and some powder runs. Also took it on a run through the park and did a couple jumps and rails. I like the board a lot. I haven't rode an GNU CC so I can't tell you how to compares. I think if you buy it you won't be disappointed. I don't know what bindings to recommend because I'm looking for bindings myself. I rode it with Burton Customs because I had a pair lying around. Unfortunately I couldn't use my Mavalvittas because they are EST.

In Greek mythology Medusa, was a monster, a Gorgon, generally described as having the face of a hideous human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone.
Medusa was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.

NEW CASTLE, Ky. –Every Sunday, several carloads of visitors venture up the gravel drive leading to the Smith-Berry Winery tasting room.
They come hoping to sample some of the New Castle winery's products, but state law forces owner Chuck Smith to turn them – and the money they have to spend – away. Many leave frustrated, Smith said. "They're mad, too; they've driven in off the interstate" specifically to visit the winery.
A local and young entrepreneur proved so impressive that the national publication Turf Magazine published a feature story on him last month.
The multi-page magazine spread tells how DJ Carroll, a 2007 graduate of Carroll County High School, began his lawn care service in high school while playing football for the Panthers.
Since graduation, he has since been all business about growing his business.
Regatta revelers on the Milton, Ky., side of the Ohio River were well-behaved, according to Trimble County Sheriff Tim Coons.
Coons said Monday that there were DUI arrests made by his staff and Kentucky State Police on State Hwy. 36 and U.S. 421 South, but there were no serious incidents among those camping on the riverbank.
Coons credits the quiet weekend to a smaller crowd than usual on the Milton side, and to the rainy, chilly weather on Saturday, July 4.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has identified the Ghent Generating Station of Kentucky Utilities as one of 44 high-hazard coal ash piles in 10 states.
The EPA list that includes the Ghent Kentucky Utilities plant was released earlier this year after a December slurry pond breach in Tennessee that has raised concerns about coal ash storage ponds across the nation.
A felony rape case in Edmunds County, S.D., involving Brent McMahan, formerly of Carrollton, has been dismissed after he entered a guilty plea agreement to a misdemeanor charge of sexual contact without consent.
According to court documents from the Fifth Circuit Court, State's Attorney Lynda Hento dismissed the felony rape charges against McMahan Friday, June 5 and he pleaded guilty to a class 1 misdemeanor charge of sexual contact without consent that same day.
Steven Finkel, 21, has been arrested on first degree criminal abuse charges in connection with injuries suffered by his seven week-old son and has been lodged in the Carroll County Detention Center on $50,000 cash bond.
Finkel is scheduled for arraignment today, Wednesday, July 8 in District Court at the William Wheeler Hall of Justice in Carrollton.
Should Finkel be convicted on the class C felony charge, he could serve five to 10 years in the penitentiary and receive fines from $1,000 to $10,000.
A portion of Trimble County history will be part of an ambitious historic renovation project on the riverfront in Madison, Ind.
David Landau and his partners in the River Mill Resort project signed a contract with the Trimble County Public Library board of trustees to remove the giant tobacco barn that stands just south of Bedford city limits on U.S. 42.
The structure stands on land purchased by the board for construction of a new library facility. Site preparation is already in progress on the property.
A new contract expected to bring more business to Valley View Landfill should be good news for Trimble County's general fund.
Bedford man charged
with felony assault, intimidation
A 18-year-old Bedford man pleaded not guilty to two felony counts in Trimble County District Court on Tuesday, June 30.
Court records indicate Jordan T. Bray was arrested June 10 on charges of first-degree assault, a Class B felony, and intimidating a participant in legal procedings, a Class D felony.

The inmate who cooked up some botulism-tainted jailhouse wine at the Utah State Prison in 2011 had brewed homemade alcohol before. But he made one — nearly fatal — mistake in October 2011.
He used a potato.
According to a study about the botulism outbreak published this week in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, the inmate's experimentation in putting an old potato among other ingredients in the plastic bag hidden in his cell led to the sickening of 12 inmates at the prison. The potato allowed botulism to develop, according to the article.
The 2011 incident was highlighted in the peer-reviewed journal for the American College of Emergency Physicians in an article entitled, "Emergency Department Identification and Critical Care Management of a Utah Prison Botulism Outbreak."

In general this sounds like a poor idea.
With a well functioning bypass the expectation is for significant weight loss, and high likelihood of skin excess. If you have a TT before you lose weight, you will likely need another after your weight has stabilized.
There may be some exceptions to this general guideline, and your bariatric surgeon can let you know if he/she thinks it is worthy of consideration.
Thanks for your question, all the best.

Famous for their Tapas, Sangria and Running of the bulls, Spain has become a top destination for North American tourist. In this site you will find all the information you need to learn about Spain, whether you are getting ready to vacation in Spain or just want to educate yourself about this historic and cultural country, this is your guide.
We will cover all the different regions in Spain, the different foods they eat, learn about Spanish wine, which months are best to visit, give you some "insiders secrets" on the best beaches, castles and cities to visit, and much more. As you go through this guide you will learn a lot about Spain, but for most locals, Spain is all about roaming through the medieval cobblestone streets, while aromas of freshly brewed espressos and scents of freshly baked baguettes linger in the air, setting the scene for a day of cultural bliss.
Spain is located in southwestern Europe, it borders with France and Portugal, and is the third largest country in Europe. Its position in the Iberian peninsula has rewarded the country with a wealth of history, as well as some of the best ingredients in the world, as it has the Mediterranean and Atlantic ocean on each coast. A country with so much history means: Many Castles to see (2nd most in the world), cathedrals that are mind-blowing, beaches that are close to heaven, and villages that make you feel like you are in a fairy-tail.
In the past, the Peseta was the currency of Spain, in 2002 the EURO was introduced by the European Union and is now the only currency used in the country. Spain joined the European Union in 1986. The population is estimated to be around 46 million people. Other names for Spain are: España, Castilla, and Hispania (Roman times).
As the second most visited country in the world, Spain offers some of the best weather year-round, a very relaxed atmosphere, and people that are very warm and welcoming. For many years, Americans have vacationed in [Paris, France] and [Rome, Italy] when visiting Europe, but in the past 10 years, that movement has started to move towards Spain. Main reason being that the country has so much to offer, at a cheaper price than France and Italy. Spain has opened its doors to Americans with great pleasure. Most restaurants in major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla and Valencia are printing their menus in Castilian and English.
The transportation in Spain has been praised by the U.S. President, as one of the most organized in the world. In train, you can travel to every major city and most small villages, and the trains are always on-time. The metro system in the major cities, can take you from the airport to downtown and even to the train station. There are also super comfortable buses that can take you from city to city. The best part of transportation in Spain? the cost. It's fairly cheap to travel through train, bus and metro, as it has such high demand and is used by many locals.
The biggest sports in Spain are fútbol (soccer), tennis, basketball and golf. When visiting Spain, if you are going between September and June we recommend you go and watch a fútbol game from La Liga, as the excitement and atmosphere is like no other you have ever seen. There are plenty of professional tennis tournaments throughout the year and most resorts have hard and clay courts to play on. For the best in Golf, just go to the region of Andalucía, as they offer over 60 world-class golf courses.
The bottom line is, Spain is a great country to vacation in and offers many great tourist attractions, from medieval castles, to the most high-tech wineries in the world, to the sunniest beaches in the Mediterranean. Please browse through our departments on the top bar to learn everything you need to know about Spain, and hopefully, inspire you to holiday in Spain on your next journey through Europe.
