Looking for any Talluto family
I am looking for any members of the Talluto family to try and connect our trees. Our Tallutos came from Sicily to New Orleans. Any info would be appreciated.
There are 136 persons in Sicily surnamed tauuto over 7 provinces it is difficult to know from which town or province your family originates. You provide no information as to their arrival in the USA, their full names or year borth that makes directing you for relatives and dcouments exceedingly difficult. The best thing that I can suggest is that you go to the nearest Family History Library of the Mormon church and request micofilm of the New Orleans Passenger Lists Index for 1900-1952 under NARA #T618-20 which corresponds to the Library catalogue #1412593. The cost is moinimal and all records for arrival in those dates will show ships manifest and give you towns of birth, dates of birth and oither vital data. If any of your ancestors are deceased and died after 1963 you can go to the socialk secuirty death index at the same library of here at www.SSDI,genealogy.rootsweb.com, and request their original application. Peter
Peter, thanks for the reply. Here are some names. Their Italian names are in Parenthesis. Anthony Dominick(on ship SS Liguria as Domenico) and wife Rose(Lucrezia) Saputo. He arrived on Oct. 13, 1908 at age 46 and she arrived on February 22, 1910(no age). Their children are: Louis(Luigi), Joe(Guiseppe), Sam(Salvatore), Anthony(Antonio), Mary(Maria), and Dominick(Domenico). On the ship manifest it says they are from Montelepre. I am just trying to find something further back. My husband is in the military and we are currently living outside the US, so the internet is my only tool at the moment.
Any further help you could give would be appreciated.
Any further help you could give would be appreciated.
The Mormon church family history libraries are worldwide. Can you find one nearest the base your husband you and reside? If not then you can write to the Ufficio di Stato Civile in Montelepre if that will help you i your quest. You can request family certificates for Anthony Dominick (Antonio Domenico Talluto(?) father whose name and age can be obtained thru Anthony Dominicks birth record. Is this what you are talking about? Perhaps you want relatives by going thru www.paginebianche.it and put in talluto in the first line and Montelepre in the third line and click Cerca. There are 4 Talluto and most likely relatives whom you can contact since this website gives you their name,adddress and telephone numbers and they can fill you in. Remember that in Italy everything hinges on the town of origin which in yur case is Montelepre..all documents, all history all folklore and relatives are in that town. Peter
How can you ask for a birth record without a name?? May I suggest that you purchase or borrow a book titled ITALIAN GENEALOGICAL RECORDS by Trafford R. Cole. It is very easy reading. Have you read the home page of this forum? It is very helpful and after each paragraph there are lines like>>>> click on thoise for more information. It is hard to explain things to you when you don't know what it means in a larger context of genealogy to tie it together. Please read the home page and this book and you will become an overnight expert. Peter
Peter, thanks for the book tip. What I meant by the question was, do I get Anthony's birth record from the Ufficio di Stato Civile? That should show his father's name, correct?
And I will go back to the home page and read the info. I have done a lot of research on family in the states, but this is my first attempt at going outside the country.
Thanks for the advice!

Moffett Field CA (SPX) Sep 30, 2005
Until earlier this year, when President Bush announced an ambitious blueprint for space exploration, NASA had no plans to send humans back to the moon, or to Mars.
But that didn't stop an intrepid group of scientists, based at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, from investigating technologies that would be needed for such a mission.
Every year for nearly a decade, they have trekked out to remote desert locations to conduct research on equipment and procedures that might some day be used by off-world explorers. The skunkworks project, known as Desert RATS (Research and Technology Studies), has just completed its eighth field season, on a barren cattle ranch near the rim of Meteor Crater, some 40 miles outside Flagstaff, Arizona.
It's hard to find places on Earth that simulate Martian conditions. But the Arizona high desert comes close enough for the experiments the Desert RATS team conducted during the first two weeks of September.
According to Joe Kosmo of Johnson Space Center, who has led the Desert RATS effort since its inception, Meteor Crater is an ideal test site because if you "strip away the vegetation, put the atmospheric pressure at 100,000 feet, and put the sun a little farther away, essentially you're encountering the kind of terrain you'd see on Mars," Rough, slightly hilly desert hard pack, with an assortment of rocks and boulders strewn about. And dust (red, of course). Dust everywhere, blowing around in heavy gusts, making dust devils and coating everything in site.
This year's two-week field test focused on the interaction between a pair of "astronauts" (actually, space-suited scientists) and a rover named SCOUT (Science Crew and Operations Utility Testbed).
When astronauts travel to the moon or Mars, they will be going to do pretty much the same things a geologist does when exploring a field site on Earth: walking around, observing land formations, taking pictures and collecting rock and soil samples. But unlike on Earth, where even at the most remote locations, help is usually not far away, off-world explorers will have severely limited resources. Moreover, they will want to investigate as much terrain as possible, so conserving energy to focus on scientific tasks will be important.
"We're trying to augment the human-machine cooperative working relationship so that the machines can do a lot of the tedious tasks," says Frank Delgado, project lead for SCOUT. For example, by using SCOUT to drive explorers "to the location where they need to do their science, when they get there, they're a lot fresher."
SCOUT looks like an oversized dune buggy. Its design is loosely based on the Moon Buggy used by astronauts on the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 missions back in the 1970s. Its seats are built to accommodate two passengers wearing bulky spacesuits. Its joystick and computer touch screen are optimized for easy use by heavily gloved hands. And it is tricked out with an eclectic array of cameras, speakers and a host of communications gear. Its maximum ground speed: 6 miles per hour.
SCOUT had its first real-world test during the 2004 Desert RATS field season, but in that initial shakedown it was driven under manual control. "We basically focused on having somebody drive it from onboard," says Delgado. "So if you needed to get to a crater or somewhere to collect some rocks, they would jump onboard, and they'd drive it."
This year the RATS team tried out several automated modes of operation, including tele-operation, voice commands and gesture recognition. The field tests, which were highly successful, were the first ever that involved such complex interaction between humans and a semi-autonomous robotic assistant.
One type of tele-operation involved operating the rover in real- or near-real-time from a remote location. The operators used a joystick and a set of switches, knobs and buttons to control the rover as though they were onboard. Delgado's team was able to tele-operate SCOUT in this way both from a Desert RATS command center located about a half-mile from the test site and from a control center about 1200 miles away at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
This is a feasible approach for operating a robotic rover on the moon from a lunar base or even from Earth. It could also be used by humans operating a rover from a local command base on Mars. It wouldn't be possible to tele-operate a Mars rover from Earth in real-time, however, because it takes too long for radio-command signals to get from one planet to the other.
Earth-based scientists could tele-operate a rover on Mars using batch commands, however. For example, "You can say, Go to waypoint 1, take a picture; go to waypoint 2, take a panorama; go to waypoint 3; and then come back home.' And it will do that automatically," says Delgado.
This is similar to the way in which mission controllers operate the Spirit and Opportunity rovers currently exploring Mars. But sending commands to Spirit and Opportunity requires first going through a laborious process of translating science-team requests into a sequence of arcane commands in a specialized language that the rovers can understand. SCOUT can understand direct voice commands.
Perhaps the most intriguing mode of operation that Delgado's team successfully tested was a procedure known as "human following," in which the rover followed one of the scientists as he explored on foot. To initiate human following, the scientist stood in front of the rover and said, "SCOUT, follow me." Onboard the rover, Delgado explains, is a pair of stereo cameras and a computerized shape-recognition system that knows "what a person should look like.
It locks onto them and as they walk around in front of the vehicle, the cameras will swivel to that direction. If they walk away from the vehicle, the vehicle actually follows them, like a pack mule. So if they're doing some sort of geological expedition and they're going to go out a half mile or a mile, the vehicle will be right there for them to get back on, instead of them having to walk all the way back."
Delgado's engineers also got SCOUT to respond to commands issued in the form of gestures. One of the scientists stood in front of the rover and put out his arm, as though signaling for a left turn. SCOUT recognized the gesture and turned on its lights. When the scientist bent his arm at a 90-degree angle, SCOUT turned the lights back off.
This was only a proof of concept, but it holds great promise. For example, says Delgado, an astronaut could point to an interesting rock and say, " Take a picture of that.' [The rover] will see where their finger's pointing and it'll turn the cameras in that direction and take a picture."
Although future missions to the moon and Mars will utilize vehicles with SCOUT-like capabilities, SCOUT was built as a testbed, and not as a prototype of a rover for a future mission. "There's a lot of basic functionality in the vehicle," Delgado explains, "that's there to support some of the concepts that we're trying to develop - the autonomous operations, tele-operations, obstacle avoidance, human following."
But features like rubber tires with air in them, or the rover's aluminum frame "would never be flown to the moon or to Mars." Moreover, the computer systems on SCOUT are built from off-the-shelf components. Hardware used on vehicles intended for spaceflight have to be specially designed for protection against dust, intense radiation and other severe conditions.
Still, the lessons learned in testing SCOUT will no doubt be applied to designing whatever rovers do get built to accompany humans on their return to the moon, and eventually to Mars.

Portland Picks with Natalie Norcross, @VeganKitten
And we're back with yet another round in our continuing series of personalized Portland Picks! These recommendations are from trusty Portland vegan locals and lovers, and we bet all our attendees, whether you're arriving early or not, want to squeeze in a little time outside of the busy, busy conference schedule to wander in the vegan wonderland. In one of our very last editions, we get the scoop on the latest and greatest Portland eats & wanderings, courtesy of epic vegan Insagrammer, Natalie Norcross, aka the @vegankitten.
Your Name: Natalie Norcross
Your Business & Internet Moniker: HALO Branded Solutions, Inc. & @vegankitten
What the Vegan Kitten thinks you should totally visit in Portland…
1) Hike at the Audubon Society of Portland – See cute rescued birds and hike in the gorgeous Forest Park!
2) Take a picture of the St. John's Bridge – It's featured in Colin Meloy's (of The Decemberists fame) book Wildwood and is the most gorgeous bridge in the world (IMO, of course). While you're at it, stop by Occidental Brewery under the bridge for some vegan German beers, then have lunch at Proper Eats up the street!
3) See a show at the Doug Fir Lounge – It doesn't get more Portland than this. Catch some awesome live music in a venue that looks like the interior of a log cabin!
What you're no doubt wondering – where are Natalie's favorite vegan eats?!?
1) The vegan menu at Departure Restaurant + Lounge – Chef Gregory Gourdet has created a one-of-a-kind modern Asian menu and it's NOT TO BE MISSED! This swanky restaurant is on the rooftop of the Nines Hotel in the heart of downtown with panoramic views of the city. Make reservations, get dressed up and enjoy the best dining experience of your life.
2) After a long night of tasting all the amazing beer Portland has to offer, stop by Robo Taco and get'cha some vegan grub! They are open until 3:30 am Thursday-Saturday and the vegan al pastor or vegan chorizo burritos will help you avoid a hangover.
3) Other cities have vegan bakeries, vegan pizza and vegan pho – but where else can you find a food cart dedicated to smoked vegan meats? Homegrown Smoker is a MUST for any out-of-town visitor. I recommend the Tempeh Fakon Sammich with a side of Mac-nocheese.
Where to go for coffee, cocktails & great beer…
Coffee – The Fresh Pot makes the best soy latte I've ever had. Plus they have three locations and one is right down the street from Homegrown Smoker – just sayin'.
Cocktails – The Bye & Bye and Sweet Hereafter are owned by the same folks and both make great cocktails. Plus the menus at both locations are entirely vegan!
Beer – There are more breweries than convenience stores in Portland! Not really, but almost. One of my favorites is Base Camp Brewing Co. They have tons of delicious beer, it's blocks from the Vegan Mini Mall and has multiple food carts with vegan options right outside who deliver inside the brewery. My favorite is Gonzo which makes the best falafel I've ever had in my life – no joke.
Super-vegan shopping?
The Vegan Mini Mall, of course! That's why we all moved here, right?
For those wanting tattoos, haircuts & a badass workout?
1) Scapegoat Tattoo in the Vegan Mini Mall!
2) Akemi Salon for hair!
3) PlantFit Training Studio for a good workout!
Only Portland….has the world's best strip clubs, including a vegan strip club. You probably don't want to include that since folks tend to get offended. But seriously, we all know it's true!

I Am Cuba / Memories Of Underdevelopment / Lucia / Strawberry & Chocolate – 4-DVD Boxset
The Cuban revolution of 1959 and its aftermath ran parallel with a radical break from cinematic traditions. Across South America and the world, emerging film-makers entered the scene with bold new ideas and a passion for invention. The four films released in this box set offer startling glimpses of instances when these two trends crossed paths. As works of art and historical artifact, they present visions of the transition made by Cuba from a colonialist client-state to a post-colonial nation.
This collection of four highly accomplished Cuban films gives a fascinating insight into the country and how it views its own history CatchaVibe.co.uk
Initially commissioned as propaganda, I Am Cuba's technical tour-de-force has made it a cult film; earning admiration from film-makers Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather) and Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull). A Soviet-Cuban production directed by Milhail Kalatozov and photographed by Sergei Urusevsky (The Cranes Are Flying, The Letter Never Sent) the film narrates in four segments the events leading to Castro's revolution. Its groundbreaking visual design is composed in elaborately conceived moving camera set-ups that remain without parallel in film history.
Tomás Gutiérrez Alea became a shining star of Cuban cinema as a result of the commercial and critical success of Memories of Underdevelopment. Regarded by critic Derek Malcolm's as one of the 100 greatest films of the 20th Century, it portrays a specific historical moment, situated between the Bay of Pigs invasions of April 1961 to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Through the perspective of Sergio (Sergio Correri - I Am Cuba), Alea depicts the erosion of personal identity in the wake of historical change.
Strawberry and Chocolate represented a cultural milestone in its release in 1993. It became the first Cuban film to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Made in collaboration with Juan Carlos Tabio, Strawberry and Chocolate represented the culmination of the long career of Tomás Gutiérrez Alea dedicated to challenging social conventions in Cuba; in this case exposing the hypocrisy of homophobia. This gentle comedy explores the unusual but tender friendship that develops between David (Vladimir Cruz), a heterosexual Communist Youth and Diego (Jorge Perugorria), a non-conformist homosexual aesthete.
Seeking what he describes as "a coherent, lucid, and dignified appreciation of our national past", Humberto Solás created a new genre of historical melodramas in Cuban cinema. Narrated in three segments, each focused on a woman named Lucia; the film outlines the history of modern Cuba from the 1895 Spanish-American war to Gerardo Machado's dictatorship in the 1930s to post-revolutionary Cuba in the 1960s.

Chattahoochee River in Southwest Georgia
122 E. Second Street
Donalsonville, GA 39845
The Chattahoochee River originates from mountain springs, primarily Chattahoochee Spring, in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Habersham County. It flows southwestward, being joined by the Soque River and Chestatee River, eventually passing from the mountains into the piedmont area and flowing through Atlanta. Continuing its course, it flows through western Georgia, eventually becoming part of West Point Lake in Troup County on the Georgia/Alabama border. From there, it flows southward, forming the Georgia/Alabama border, through Columbus, Ga., before finally emptying into Lake Seminole, along with the Flint River. From Lake Seminole, the Apalachicola River flows southward through the panhandle of Florida into the Gulf of Mexico. The Chattahoochee River is Georgia's longest, at 436 miles.
Fishing and wildlife viewing is abundant!

Collection Overview
Table of contents
This collection contains correspondence, speeches, newspaper clippings, conference materials and other administrative and publicity materials relating to the UCSF Kaposi's Sarcoma (K-S) Clinic, the AIDS epidemic, and AIDS research as pursued by Dr. Marcus Conant. Materials from the K-S (later San Francisco AIDS) Foundation, and other organizations associated with Dr. Conant, are also included.
Marcus A. Conant, M.D., professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco, led San Francisco's first coordinated medical response to the AIDS epidemic. Conant also had a large private practice in San Francisco, and in April 1981 he documented two local cases of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in young, apparently healthy, gay men. KS is a skin cancer which heretofore had been seen in the United States mainly in elderly men and in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This unusual presentation in association with other rare infections was being noted simultaneously by physicians in New York and Los Angeles.

WASHINGTON — An attorney for a U.S. Naval Academy midshipman in a sexual assault case says a defense lawyer asked if her client would withdraw from further testimony due to fatigue.
Susan Burke, the woman's attorney, made the comments in open court Sunday at a hearing to determine whether three midshipmen will face a court-martial.
The former football players are accused of sexually assaulting the woman at a party.
Burke said in an interview that she interpreted the request as evidence that defense attorneys are trying to exhaust her client on the stand.
Defense attorney Ronald Herrington confirmed that he approached Burke Friday. But he says he simply asked whether the woman would testify further and disputes Burke's version.
The woman began testifying Tuesday. She said Saturday she was tired, and the court agreed she wouldn't have to testify that day. She's on the stand again Sunday.

China Growth Slumps to 20-Year Low
(NEWSER) – After two decades of growing at an astonishing rate, China's economic growth has cooled off enough to cause problems in plenty of other economies. Figures released today show the economy grew 7.5% in the first quarter of this year, a rate many countries can only dream of but still the lowest since 1990, the BBC reports. Officials have set a target of 7.5% growth for the year, but analysts doubt China can hit even that modest target without stimulus measures.

Sacred Time
Written by: Beth Davies-Stofka
Many Christian festivals and holy days are shared by most Christian communities, including the Eastern Orthodox. This article identifies several of the unique features of the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Along with the great majority of Christians worldwide, Eastern Orthodox Christians worship daily, weekly, and at special times throughout the year. Eastern Orthodoxy is a liturgical faith, meaning that Orthodox services use carefully structured and prescribed rituals, called liturgy.
Eastern Orthodoxy places great emphasis on tradition, and regards its traditions as holy. Holy tradition includes scripture, the Nicene Creed, the decrees of the ecumenical councils, the writings of the Church Fathers, the icons, and the books of liturgical service, which extend to twenty volumes. Although the liturgy has developed and changed, it is characterized by a sense of faithfulness to practices rooted in ancient traditions, perhaps dating from the days of the apostles. Romanian theologian Dumitru Staniloae famously described the spirit of Orthodox tradition as "lived experience . . . the uninterrupted life of the church." At the heart of Eastern Orthodox tradition is the commitment to maintaining the beliefs and practices of the apostolic churches, so that the experience of contemporary Orthodox Christians will conform to the experience of the very first Christians, in an uninterrupted stream of worship and sacrament. Though the word "orthodox" means "correct belief," its connection with "correct practice" is intrinsic to Orthodox faith.
In adherence to tradition, some Orthodox churches still use the old Julian calendar to calculate the dates of the principal festivals of the Christian year. This includes the churches in Jerusalem, Russia, and Serbia. These churches celebrate such principal feasts as Christmas and Easter later than their western counterparts. The Julian calendar is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar, thus westerners will often see Orthodox Christians in Jerusalem and Moscow celebrating major Christian holy days about two weeks later than Christians in the west. However, other Orthodox churches have begun to use the modern Gregorian calendar.
Easter is called Pascha and is the central celebration of the liturgical year. In addition to Easter, which is the Feast of Feasts, the Orthodox liturgical year (which traditionally begins on September 1) is highlighted by the Twelve Great Feasts, eight of which honor Jesus, and four of which honor his mother. They are, in chronological order:
September 8: The Nativity of the Mother of God
September 14: The Exaltation of the Cross
November 21: The Presentation of the Mother of God
December 25: The Nativity of Christ
January 6: The Baptism of Christ
February 2: The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple
March 25: The Annunciation
The Sunday before Easter: Palm Sunday, Jesus' entry in Jerusalem
Forty Days after Easter: The Ascension of Christ
Fifty Days after Easter: Pentecost
August 6: The Transfiguration
August 15: The Dormition (Falling Asleep) of the Mother of God

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer
SNOHOMISH — It started as a joke on Facebook.
After the Seahawks' win this past Sunday over the Washington Redskins, Daniel Espy, a pastor at The Bridge Church, posted this note:
"Attention Seattle: All church services in the greater metro area will be moved to 7 a.m. next Sunday. This assures you are home in time for kickoff and the Seahawks are all prayed up."
Espy, 36, then began to get phone calls and emails from people asking for him to really switch the service time.
"There seemed to be a great interest in changing the schedule because of the 10 a.m. start against the Atlanta Falcons. So I began wondering if I could pull it off without inconveniencing everybody else at church," Espy said. "Then, our other leaders gave the OK."
Sunday worship at The Bridge, located north of Snohomish, usually at starts at 10 a.m., but on game day, people plan to gather at 8 a.m.
The church even had a roadside banner made to attract people to its game-day service. "Russell wants you here," the banner says. Included in the service will be a video of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson visiting kids at Seattle Children's Hospital.
"By saying to our people that it's OK to love God and the Seahawks, we are a blessing to our church and our community," Espy said. "And we are blessed to be able to do that."
The Bridge is a young church, Espy said, and "not at all stodgy."
"We are serious about following Jesus," he said. "But you can follow Jesus and have fun, too."
A self-described rabid college football fan from Alabama, Espy said Seahawk football is a big part of the culture in the Northwest.
"Football's in the DNA here," Espy said. "The Bible calls us to meet people where they are and that's what this change of schedule is about."
The North Sound Church in Edmonds figured this out a couple of years ago when it offered a tailgate party at church before a televised Seahawks game.
"It was fun, so we decided to do it again this Sunday," North Sound administrative assistant Becky Andersen said.
A free tailgate breakfast at 8 a.m. Sunday is planned by North Sound Church at the Edmonds Conference Center, 201 Fourth Ave. People who plan to attend are urged to wear Seahawk colors.
The breakfast is to be followed by a celebration service from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. with Barry Crane, pastor of North Sound, offering a message of inspiration. Normally, Sunday services at the church are at 8, 9:30 and 11 a.m. To make sure the church meets the needs of its congregation, a regular service also is scheduled at 6 p.m. Saturday in the church sanctuary at 404 Bell St.
"Our change for the Seahawk game was well received last time, and it's sure to be again this Sunday," she said.
Steve Thompson, pastor of the Victory Foursquare Church in Marysville, played football for Lake Stevens High, the University of Washington and the New York Jets.
Nobody loves football more than Thompson, but his church service remains scheduled for the usual time of 10 a.m. Sunday.
"We might see a few less people at church Sunday, but there are many people plan to record the game and have parties in the afternoon," Thompson said. "We've canceled church only one time. We had a big freeze and the pipes broke and flooded the sanctuary with 2 inches of water. I had tickets that day to the Seahawks game against the Jets and I left early, but I didn't cancel church for football."
Nina Therres of Lake Stevens is president of the Sea Hawkers Booster Club of Snohomish County, a Seahawks season ticket holder and the service coordinator at Cascade Community Church in Monroe.
Therres arrives early on Sundays to turn on the lights and do other jobs in preparation for Cascade's three morning services. She attends the 8 a.m. service. If there is a home game, she arranges to leave, otherwise she is around to make sure the church services run smoothly the rest of the morning.
"So this Sunday, I will focus on worshipping at 8 a.m. and when it's time for the kick off at 10 a.m., I will have my phone in my pocket and the game on through the Bluetooth in my ear. I sit in the back and stay quiet," Therres said. "If the game gets crazy and I need to make noise out loud, I will step out for a moment. Go Seahawks."

Reporting and research by Clark Merrefield and Lauren Streib.
Combining great storytelling with her expert knowledge of the Los Angeles legal system, Clark crafts a thrilling debut.
If most headlines are to be believed, Clark has used his super strength to usher in the end of journalism.
The school district could never have afforded his services on its own, Clark explains.
"She walked around the cabin with her glass of wine, finishing the wine, then wiping off the glass," Clark says.
Clark was standing alone by the flagstaff, his face careworn.
But the most sanguine stickler for Arianism is the illustrious Dr. Clark.
Mr. Clark was a tall slender person, with glasses and an aspect of unfamiliarity with a blast-furnace environment.
Clark & Sons have owned that ranch for thirty years, and yet I have never been near it.
With this he was making direct for the crowd surrounding Ralph and Clark.

NPR 'Science Friday' to feature chemistry professor
Dr. Stephen Morgan, a professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry in USC's College of Arts and Sciences, is scheduled to be interviewed Jan. 28 on NPR's "Science Friday."
Morgan and his colleague, Dr. Michael Myrick, have developed technology for a camera that can "see" invisible blood stains. The technology, called "multimode imaging in the thermal infrared," could eventually be used in crime-scene investigations. Morgan and Myrick published their work in a series of three reports in the American Chemical Society's journal, "Analytical Chemistry," and have been featured on CNN. Stories about their work have appeared on MSNBC.com, discovery.com and sciencedaily.com, along with local and statewide media.
Friday, Morgan will be interviewed by host Ira Flatow on NPR's weekly national science show. The segment is expected to air shortly after 3 p.m.

Patagonia Environmental Grants program has awarded the Redlands Conservancy a grant of $2,000 for the outdoor education program Inner City Goes Outdoors.
"We recognize the important work you and the organization are doing to preserve and protect all the remaining wilderness-quality lands in Southern California area," wrote Environmental Coordinator Erik Schulte in a letter to the Conservancy. "The success of the Redlands Conservancy is truly inspiring to all of us here at Patagonia."
The ICGO program will bring underserved youths to the open space managed by the Redlands Conservancy. Another grant already received will fund the curriculum development and the purchase of supplies and equipment for youth participants.
The Patagonia grant will partially fund the development, manufacture and installation of interpretive signage at the San Timoteo Nature Sanctuary, a 160-acre wild site in San Timoteo Canyon between Alessandro Road and San Timoteo Canyon Road in Redlands. Most activities of the ICGO program will be conducted at the sanctuary, and the interpretive signage is a critical component to helping ICGO participants understand the land and the wildlife.
"The ICGO program involves several components, and we have asked for grants from several sources," said Sherli Leonard, Redlands Conservancy's executive director. "We are honored by the trust of these organizations that are helping us make a difference for Redlands' underserved youth while we protect the wild places."
The Conservancy's two- pronged approach to the ICGO program met Patagonia Environmental Grants criteria to develop long-term support for conserving Southern California's rapidly disappearing wild places.
"We hope to accomplish two things: provide life-changing wilderness experiences for Redlands' underserved youth and to conserve and protect wild places with a new cadre of land stewards," Leonard said. "The interpretive signage we can develop with this grant will give the users deep insight into the whys and wherefores of the land's unique qualities."

Crown Molding & Millwork & Trim
Fiberglass, PVC & Aluminum Columns
Baluster & Deck Railing Systems
If you are thinking about adding a distinctive and classic touch to your home décor, adding columns is the perfect choice. After deciding to install columns inside or outside your home, there are various decisions you will have to make. Read More Read Less
First, you will have to choose the proper location for your columns. Even decorative columns should appear as if they are performing some type of supportive function. Next, you should select the material of the column. There are a number of column materials to choose from; however, as far as design and materials are concerned fiberglass columns are the most popular. Decorative Columns Whether your decorative column will be for aesthetic or supportive purposes, or both, your home will undergo a dramatic change. Decorative columns enhance the décor of any home. For centuries, columns have adorned private homes as decorative, structural, and load bearing columns sustaining a wall or roof. Classical decorative rudiments, such as fluting, molding, egg and dart, and flowery medallions, give decorative columns an opulent appearance that beautifies any room. Besides standard designs to choose from, you have a fantastic selection of modern columns as well. These decorative columns are as diverse as traditionally inspired columns to extraordinary ornate designs and detail. A delicately crafted decorative column is just as much a work of art as a supporting column. Decorative column materials are varied. You can find PVC column wraps, diverse polymers, and fiberglass, to skillfully carved wood, such as pallid pine or deep walnut, and much more. Whether your column will be incorporated into your home to complement a wood interior or accent a painted wall, the potential is infinite. Fiberglass Columns The most frequently used material by builders and architects for decorative columns are fiberglass columns because they emanates an engaging presence that is more enduring than wood columns. The same as wood, fiberglass columns can be found in both round and square shapes with a selection of fluted or smooth surfaces. Today, fiberglass columns are produced not only for aesthetic purposes or to imitate traditional column forms, but they are sturdy enough to function as an edifice for load-bearing purposes. Fiberglass columns merge pioneering technology with classical designs to create products that add style and sophistication to homes. In addition, they add style and sophistication to any room while providing supreme strength and durability. Borrowing from the long-term, classic designs of Roman and Greek architecture, fiberglass columns can be found in multiple sizes. They are idyllic for either interior or exterior usage in applications such as pillars, porches, decorative columns, balconies, courtyards, gazebos, decks, and fireplaces. Fiberglass material columns can be divided in half for use as column wraps, covers, pilasters or pole covers to wrap unbecoming Lally columns or support post. The most popular fiberglass columns are round fluted, plain round, plain square, and square fluted columns. In addition to being exquisite, fiberglass columns can be painted and shaped to any customized request. Other benefits of fiberglass are its waterproof, pest, and impact resistance properties.

CalmSpace is a helpful retreat area for people who do intense work, have demanding schedules or are subject to jet lag.
Haworth joined designer Marie-Virginie Berbet to present CalmSpace, a standalone "plug & play" power nap capsule for the office, at Orgatec 2012.
Individuals searching for rest enter through an acoustic curtain and lay down on a fabric-upholstered mattress. The user is able to select a power nap period—from 10 to 20 minutes—that includes preset sound and light cycles, which helps the individual fall asleep and wake up smoothly.
CalmSpace allows individuals to refresh, relax and reenergize to be ready for productive activity. In times of high-speed work and a demanding economy, many companies offer their employees collaborative relaxation areas like lounges and cafeterias, but few are exploring the benefits of calm, individual relaxation.
With an unusual background in neuropharmacology, Berbet used her scientific knowledge in the CalmSpace design. The short- and long-term benefits of mid-day naps include improved cognitive abilities (e.g. alertness, memory, learning and creativity), improved mood, stress prevention, better nightly sleep, and can even lower the likelihood of heart disease.
CalmSpace is a helpful retreat area for people who do intense work, have demanding schedules or are subject to jet lag.
Developed by Haworth in cooperation with Zyken, who provided scientifically-validated light and sound technologies, CalmSpace is made of dark gray-blue colored composite material. Acoustic foam is used between the internal and external skin.

Josh Collins AVT
Josh Collins AVT
19 year old heavyweight, Tom Aspinall
i agree, he will take some stopping
Three amateurs out of the North East to watch for me are:
Anas Siraj Mounir - Absolute beast. 8-0 now and in his last fight beat Dez Parker who was 7-0-1 and no disrespect to Parker but Mounir made him look way out of his depth. Has great striking, great wrestling, great grappling and is an all round beast.
Jonny Ohikere - Have only seen him once or twice and looks a great prospect. Hasn't been fighting that long i don't think but last time out he took out Davie Bowmer in impressive fashion. Bowmer was 7-0 going in i think and they got fight of the night at Made4TheCage last month.
Craig Thomas Boyle - Again not sure on how long he's been competing but think it has been less than a year and is now 4-0. Has some great wrestling and is extremely slick when the fight gets to the ground. All of his wins are pretty quick and always finishes off with a nice back flip.
Then of course in the pro ranks their are shit loads of potential world beaters but top of the pile for me is Ryan Scope. The ay he can make people look silly with little effort is scary. Really do think he will be UFC bound in the next couple of years.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Agree with Scope, id through Connor Mcgregor in there also for guys to watch who will do well in the UFC
global mma (or something like that) ranks non UFC fighters in each class. Some good names listed there that you might not be familiar with.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
In terms of ammys on the brink of going pro that have impressed me this year, I've commentated and been at a lot of shows and the ones that stand out:
Josh Collins - Great hands, wrestling and grappling to give people problems
Colin Farricker - Legit Thai and a right unit at the weight
Mark Diakiese - Athletic, great wrestling and unorthdox striking
Charles Libor - His submission game looked unreal
Anas Mounir - Beast everywhere and thrives on having gnarly fights
Andy Craven - Only loss to Diakiese in a close decision, beast
Few others that have three or four wins, really impressed with the amateur talent I've seen this year. Most people introducing unified style amateur rules really seems to have upped the level.
seen someone mentioned Darren Till, thats a good shout, he has some serious thai. Sean wright is another, the leg break looks nasty in the DNFT Doc.
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get

The first toy my son played with constantly. I love how the center is the perfect size for a little hand. Keeping it forever.
I am more than pleased with the Heirloom rattle I ordered from Wisconsinmade.com. It came fast and was simply gorgeous. I also like the fact that it is a Wisconsin made product. I will order from your website again.
We received this Heirloom Wooden Rattle when I got pregnant with my son. As soon as he was able to grab anything, he could be found shaking it and giggling all the time. He loved it so much that, if we put it slightly out of his reach, he would scoot toward it - this rattle became his prime motivator in learning to crawl! He's 2 1/2 now and still likes to shake it to his favorite songs. We buy one for all our close friends and family members who have a baby on the way!
I gave this to friends that have a one year it was his birthday gift. I was a huge hit.Dad open the box and the child took it right from daddy!!
We were given a rattle for my first son and we decided to buy one for each of our other two sons because we liked them so much. It is easy for the baby to hold onto because it is narrow in the center. Their tiny hands have no problem gripping the rattle even at an age younger than 2 months. My two oldest boys want their rattles now that they see their younger brother playing with his. Thank you

Without an inside presence, Miami Dade played right into the hands of the College of Central Florida men's basketball team on Saturday night.
Without an inside presence, Miami Dade played right into the hands of the College of Central Florida men's basketball team on Saturday night.
The Patriots' zone stymied the Sharks into a 6-of-27 effort from 3-point range, on their way to a 70-54 win on Saturday night in the Florida Men's Colleges Shootout at Patriot Gym.
CF has now won 17 straight home games over the past year.
"I feel like we have to hold it down here at home," said CF sophomore forward Jeremiah Eason, who led all scorers with 16 points.
The fifth-ranked Patriots (11-2) won their fourth straight game overall and held Miami Dade to a 19-of-62 shooting effort.
"We're 11-2, and I am very pleased with where we are at," CF coach Tim Ryan said.
CF outscored the Sharks 30-8 over the final 13:38 of the first half and led 37-19 at halftime.
Over the opening half, the Patriots held Miami Dade to a 2-of-13 effort from 3-point range and held a 22-13 rebounding edge.
"We have to stay strong in our zone," said Eason, who has been getting looks from North Carolina Central and Tennessee Tech. "We're short on bodies, so we know that we have to be strong."
Miami Dade finished the half shooting 8-of-32 and never led after a dunk by CF's Eugene McCrory in transition at the 12:13 mark, which capped a 6-0 run.
"When we play teams that don't have an inside presence, we are able to identify their shooters early and get out on them," Ryan said. "We're so long and the last three games we have done a nice job of finding out who their 3-point shooters are and controlling them."
The game on Saturday night was much different than the fast-paced win for the Patriots against Gulf Coast State, but in the end, the result was to the hosts' liking.
"It doesn't matter to me if there are a lot of fastbreaks or if it is a physical game, I just like to win," Eason said.
During the first half, CF scored 13 consecutive points and led 27-13 after a 3-pointer by Rasham Suarez with 6:03 remaining before halftime.
From there, the Patriots led by as many as 20 in the first half, before taking a 37-19 halftime advantage.
Eason (six rebounds) was joined in double figures by McCrory (12 points, five rebounds), Suarez (12 points, six assists, four rebounds), Amdy Fall (10 points, five rebounds) and Jordan Parks (10 points, nine rebounds).
CF also made 21-of-29 free throws and shot 23-of-48 overall from the floor.
For the game, the Patriots held a 38-34 edge on the boards and led by as many as 28 points.
The Florida Men's Colleges Shootout continues on Sunday with the following games: CF-Hillsborough (8 p.m.), State College of Florida-Pasco Hernando (noon), Tallahassee-Brevard (2 p.m.), Miami Dade-Gulf Coast (4 p.m.), Indian River-Daytona State (6 p.m.).
BROWARD 70, CF WOMEN 64: The Patriots (3-10) battled hard against the Seahawks, but fell on Saturday afternoon.
"We played well, but missed too many free throws and didn't execute down the stretch when the game was tight," Patriots coach Sharrona Reaves said.
La'Derricka Spillman led the Patriots with 25 points, while Sarah Hunter and R'Kiyah Scott scored 19 and 15 respectively.
Rona Gabriel pulled down 11 rebounds and Verjell Bowleg grabbed nine.
CF (3-10) will compete in the Brevard Tournament on December 14.
With the win, Broward (2-5) avenged a 74-57 loss to the Patriots on November 16.

As a huge RPG fan for 30 years - my rant about RPG's being called Action-RPG's!
I have been playing RPG games on the Commodore VIC-20, Commodore 64 then PC since around 1981. I have kept every game I have ever bought so have around 800 games in my collection. I also spent from 1991 to 1997 running a small games publishing company, trying to become the next Microprose or Activision, but it wasn't to be.
Far and away for all that time, my favourite genre has been the RPG, and since around 2005 I have seen the genre under attack in terms of dumbing down, console orientated.and generally diluted like the adventure genre was before it. I will defend the genre with my dying breath, to try and slow it's decline.
One of my annoyances, is that since the advent of console style Action-Adventures, like Jade Empire, Mass Effect and Bioshock all being called "Action-RPG's", we now see all RPG games being called the same, just like a site did for Daggerfall and the whole Elder Scrolls series!
Given my long history in gaming, I can bring up two points. One, if all RPG's are now "Action-RPG's", please tell me the name of the plain old "RPG" that had no action in it!
As games companies budgets went up, they had to sell to the largest market, so by promoting games like Mass Effect as Shooter's with RPG elements (however little) and calling them Action-RPG's, they could sell to the FPS and RPG markets. Only after these titles started appearing did RPG's generally start being called Action-RPG's. Why the media have followed this marketing ploy I have no idea, but it now means we have a wide range of titles from Borderlands at one end and The Witcher at the other all called Action-RPG's!
For over 25 years games like the Ultima series, the Elder Scrolls series to Morrowind and every other "RPG" was called an RPG. Everybody knew that every RPG ever released had had combat in it but felt no need to call the games anything else. You had character skills and attribute dice rolls that impacted on how combat fared and that was good enough.
Today we have games that call themselves Action-RPG's when they have no character skills or attribute trees. Where attack and Defence is decided by the gun you have and the armour your wearing. These types of games should be in the Action-Adventure category.. Games like Mass Effect, STALKER, Bioshock, Rage, Bioshock 2, etc.
In a separate category of "RPG" would be those games that still have a character skills/attribute mechanic for deciding combat along with weapon and armour related to those skills. Games that are plain old RPG's would be Fallout 3, Skyrim, The Witcher series, the Gothic series, Wizardry 8 and a game that came out two weeks ago: Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning. Maybe they could be designated as RPG's by virtue of having sneak or crafting? Whatever it is, all RPG's for all time have had combat (action) and yet only since the advent of the multiformat market in 2005/6 has everything become "Action-RPG's".. For you, a specialist PC site, were to use the term Action-RPG's for all RPG's would shock me in it recidivism. If you have gone down that road already the war is almost lost.
Remember, the Adventure genre was going strong until Tomb Raider came along and called itself an "Action-Adventure". Hardcore Adventure fans complained bitterly that Tomb Raider was not anything like an adventure game. The complaint was practically (always the case) ignored, and more and more "Action-Adventures" were released. Within 2 years the adventure genre was practically gone.
I think the same thing is happening with the RPG genre now. You can have such a wide range of genres within the all encompassing "Action-RPG" genre, that it loses all meaning. This allows developers to keep cutting out RPG bits without having to change it's genre!
For over 30 years we have had games like Daggerfall, Ulima VII, Darklands, etc released with no thought of calling these RPG's anything other than just that - RPG.
We have had isometric, third person, first person, realtime and turn based combat. But every one used the skills/attribute mechanic to oversee combat. We have RPG's doing exactly that today, Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur, Witcher 2, Drakensang, Risen, Two Worlds 2, Divinity 2, etc and yet they are all called Action-RPG's!
So media get off your high horse and call them RPG's, and those where your defence went up because you put on a better suit or your shooting was better because you got a better gun, but the game had no skill or attribute trees should be called Action-Adventures"!!
Has gaming got so dumb across the board that just because an RPG has combat it is called an Action-RPG however little or how many RPG elements it has in the game!?

What is this doing in this section? It's not like RPS is the sole progenitor of what you see as a devolution of the terms.

I thought this guy was banned tbh. Still he and Wizardry could have a duel to find out whose the more hardcore RPG fanatic. I do like the idea that because they put RPG on a cassette box in the 80s that somehow means they are the true cRPGs. Even though they bore little if any relation to P&P RPGs.
Drink'th the tainted cup.
Not an "action rpg"? It'll need to be turn based, that simple. Or maybe a well implemented pause option.
Dungeons of Dredmor is qualified, but it's a roguelike, so don't expect narrative or rather, a hand written one.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

The real problem is that genre is a nonsense identifier. I think the reason for this is that gaming is not a medium; it is a collection of media with a host of different representational forms and modes of interaction. There are certain genres that are more suited to a particular gaming medium (e.g. strategy) and there are certain genres that are transmedial (e.g. RPG). Our terminology doesn't really identify these different gaming media (in fact, I think the majority view is still that gaming is "a medium" rather than a collection of media, though if you think about what differentiates one medium from the next, it's easy to see why that might be wrong) so the notions of genre and medium get conflated.
I submit that action-RPG isn't really a subgenre of RPG: the difference between an action-RPG and another type of RPG is more like the difference between a horror film and a horror novel - both are examples of the horror genre, but exist in different media.
I always hated the thought that RPG's were defined by leveling up, the exponential expansion of your ability ruins nearly all attempts to make you feel like part of the world.
Eldar scrolls style skill based: So I spamed summon skeleton and now I am a master conjourer?
List selection: I kicked the crap out of 20 rats and now I can cast fireball/pick locks better?
Class based: I trained for 20 years in guild X and now after spending 5 minutes helping old ladies cross the road I'm more of a master in skill Y.
I can tolerate it best when the story is not attempting emotional depth, or you are clearly ear marked for this exponential growth in the story.

Some proof
I saw someone playing the Mass Effect 3 demo, and being given the choice to play the action way, the RPG way and the story way:
Bioware says on-screen under RPG that this option is RPG style because it offers character face creation and the ability to choose dialogue options - neither of which are RPG elements at all; like skill and attribute trees or sneaking or crafting, etc. So I would say it's an Action-Adventure, not Action-RPG, especially when that second option of just choosing dialogue options, which sounds very adventure like!
If all we're going to get is the ability to create our game characters face for companies to be able to call their next Crysis or Fear or Far Cry as an Action-RPG with just that one non-RPG feature, we're pretty much going to have the end of the Skyrim style RPG as we know it!

The reason I think of that in terms of media is that that basically boils down to a difference in representational form. But the reason there's an argument in the first place is that people disagree on whether the tractability of the rules is a positive quality of RPGs or a (necessary in pen and paper; not so much on computer) limitation of RPGs. And that's basically TSR vs. White Wolf and the whole Rule Zero debate all over again, which I don't think can have a definite answer beyond putting it down to personal preference.
I was having a conversation with a friend recently who loved the idea of Dwarf Fortress - as management sims are his favorite genre - but wanted a more graphical and streamlined interface. He was worried that such would dilute the genre, to which I responded that Dorf Fort is not defined by its ASCII graphics. It is merely expressed that way.
All gaming is abstraction, but the rulesets - whether intuitive or formal (as all are tractable) - are merely a means to an end.

I am suggesting that RPG'S be split into 'Skill Check Game' (SCG) and :weapon class:(guns,swords, magic, etc) Conversation (G&C, S&C, M&C) (point and click 'Adventure' shall be merged with 'hidden object' games as a place holder.

Thusly developers could decide in the design process which box their game was going to fall into, and for those people who refuse to play a game if it falls in a particular box a simple patch would convert the game from one to the other.
On second thoughts this board would just fill up with threads on the definitions of kittens...
People like to classify stuff, but stuff doesn't always fit nicely in the boxes, so you either make a new box or get the shoehorn out. The classification isn't killing off certain types of game, it's all about marketability.
Try playing Jade Empire or Mass Effect without applying a single skill point or character stat. It becomes pretty challenging, if not impossible as you progress if you have the game difficulty at normal or higher.
It also might be worth suggesting that genres are less meaningful now. Back in the day, it was important because almost all purchases were blind, or possibly had only the benefit of a magazine article to define the game for you along with whatever was on the box cover. Now we have a multitude of sources, from actual Demo's and YouTube vids to a plethora of sites covering games in detail. So you have a much better idea if a title purchase will appeal to you regardless of how it's branded.

Well, what is a role playing game?
It's not just a game were you play a role. Else Call of Duty would also be a RPG (you play the role of a soldier).
So what is it then? Is it something like stat- and skillpoints? It it about creating 'builds'? Well, you can have 'builds' in all sorts of games. Even in RTS, shooters and even in some tower defense games. Sometimes it's called perks. But I don't think just having stats and skills makes a game a RPG.
To me a RPG is all about the story and how you have effect on that story. A real RPG should contain choices. So can you can 'develop' a story around your character. Do I join the bad guys or the good guys? Your playthrough should be different than the playthrough someone else does. You should get enough choices so you can play through your own story.
If we go back to Call of duty, according to my rule of RPG, call of duty is not a RPG. Because you can't make any choices that affect the story. Everything is linear and you can't change a thing.
If you take The Witcher as an example, this game is a RPG because you get some choices in the game that have consequences.
Skyrim wants to be a RPG, but it has no really important choices. Everyone is experiencing the same gameplay. You are a mage/fighter/thief/murderer at the same time. (With this I mean you can join almost ALL the guilds and clubs, even if they have conflicting values) Skyrim does have choices, but none of them are very important, so they don't change the story around your character. It's just an open world action game with fantasy stuff in it.

BELLFLOWER - The City Council recently agreed to create a five-member water commission to advise officials on the city's Municipal Water System.
According to city officials, the commission's role will be to keep the council informed of the different aspects and decision-making at the MWS.
The body will study and make recommendations to the City Council on issues pertaining to operation, maintenance, rules, rates, capital improvements, water quality and operating budget, said Lynn Komadina, spokeswoman for Bellflower.
According to Leo Mingle Jr., assistant city manager, the city has owned the Municipal Water System since 2007. Of the nearly 80,000 residents, the water system serves about 2,400 customers, or 10 percent of the population, he said.
"We had a request from customers of the water system that they'd like to be more actively involved in the policy making of the water systems," Mingle said. "There have been some people who are not customers of the water system, and the community at large, who feel that they too should be a part of the decision-making process."
Commission members' names will likely be announced by the City Council on Monday. At least three of the members will be customers of the water system, Mingle said.
Each of the members will receive a $50 stipend per meeting, costing the city about $1,000 a year, officials said.

Mazunte is a small layed-back town on the Pacific coast. The water is blue-green and clear as can be. One can easily forget what year it is by the amount of hippies floating around. A typical night in mazunte consists of sitting under an umbrella, toes in the sand drinking Corona and eating an unbelievably delicious Pescado Empapelado (fish in a bag,) grilled to perfection by one of the sturdy El Pescador family girls! We Stayed at a place called El Posado Arcitecto, designed and run by an Italian guy. Our room with a view was built into the cliff directly in the center of the two beautful beaches. The room had some unique features including a swinging bed, proving to be more interesting than comfortable! We played a nightly game of vollyball against some very impressive five foot tall mexican girls…they beat us everytime! After spending a couple lazy days in Mazunte, we headed an hour north to the hot-spot Puerto Escondido.
Once a small fishing village whose economy was enhanced greatly by selling turtle meat and shells Puerto is a now a popular tourist destination for surfers and beach goers alike (and a safe haven for turtles). The Puerto Escondido area consists of five beaches. Playa Zicatela, where we stayed, is famous for the Mexpipe, a world renowned wave. Only the most experienced surfers or experienced idiots dare to risk their lives for an incredible ride. Surfing has quickly become my favorite spectators sport.
Just as our trip was nearing an end and we were still not completely sure of our next move, an opportunity presented itself to us here in Puerto. A small hotel called Los Adobes was recently put on the market. A middle aged couple bought the land and built this quaint hotel with a swimming pool and garden 10 years ago. They made improvements little by little and maintained it beautifully. Unfortunately, the couple has been plagued with health problems over the years and the wife has recently passed away leaving the hotel in the care of her children.
By happenstance we arrived to see the hotel just before the children came down to sort out loose ends and prepare it to be sold. We had a chance to stay at the hotel for a week, meet with the children, who are both in their 30's, several times and also with the real estate agents(two Americans that have been living and working in Mexico for 20 years).
This small hotel is what we have been searching for. It has an excellent location just a short walk from the beach, restaurants, bars, internet and shopping. It is beautifully designed with adobe walls and a palapa (palm) roof. With a few touches and a lot of energy we know we can have Los Adobes overflowing year round.
We are moving ahead with the support of the family, the real estate agents and the hotel staff (Estella, who has worked there for 9 years) to raise the money and take the necessary steps to be the new owners.
From here we're stopping in a mountain town called San Jose on the way to Oaxaca where we will reunite with Abigail, Angie's dear friend from home. After a few days there we are going to Mexico City as our last stop before two back-to-back family reunions in Colorado. We'll be fine tuning our business plan along the way and keeping in close contact with the family and real estate agents. Keep your fingers crossed for us and before you know it you may be relaxing by our pool in Puerto Escondido!!!!

Jay Z signs CC Sabathia to Roc Nation Sports
Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio
Jay Z is adding New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia to his Roc Nation Sports roster. The rapper's sports management company announced the news Thursday and included a photo of Jay and CC signing the relevant contracts.
Welcome @CC_Sabathia to the @RocNation family! #RocNationSports pic.twitter.com/UIhtsdbOKe
— Roc Nation (@RocNation) January 17, 2014
A brief statement attached to the photo stated that Roc Nation Sports is "excited" to have CC Sabathia in their ranks.
