Stuard's bid for 59 falls short
LA QUINTA, Calif. -- Brian Stuard had a chance to do something Saturday that only five other people had done on the PGA TOUR.
Instead, he "settled" for a career-low 62 Saturday that left him in a tie for eighth at the Humana Challenge in partnership with the Clinton Foundation. Stuard finds himself six strokes off the pace as he chases what would be his first TOUR win.
Stuard, who was playing the Nicklaus Private course, made the turn in 31 after making three birdies, an eagle and a bogey over the final six holes on the front nine.
He added birdies at Nos. 10 and 11, parred the 12th and then added two more birdies to get to 9 under for the day. An eagle at the 16th hole then put Stuard in position for the 59 but he was unable to birdie the par-3 17th and bogeyed No. 18.

The Senate has let down the troops and the nation once more. Despite new pushes from both the Democratic and Republican sides of the isle the voices of moderation, peace, and patriotism were overshadowed by those of the war mongers and politicos. A bill, proposed by Sen. Jim Webb, one of the few Senators who have a child serving in Iraq, was centered on troop readiness: it said, "Men and women serving in the military deserved the same amount of time at home that they served overseas. The proposal died when the Senate voted 56 to 41 against moving to a vote, four short under the Senate's rules." (New York Times July 12, 2007).
A number of Republican Senators have come out and claimed "there needs to be a change of course in Iraq." Senate Armed Services Committee chairman John Warner (R., Va.) and former Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Richard Lugar (R., Ind.), worked with the White House at the outset of the war; but, are drafting their own legislation to force the President to 'change course.' I would ask, what does this 'change' mean? Wall Street Journal – July 12, 2007
The same is true for Democrats who are hungry to set themselves apart as the peace party. Sen. Carl Levin, who is a Chairperson on the Armed Services Committee, has proposed a mandatory deadline for troop withdrawal by April 30th. Sen. Harry Reid and Levin have co-sponsored another bill demanding a complete withdrawal in 120 days after enactment.
Another piece of bi-partisan legislation, brought by Sen.'s Ken Salazar and Lamar Alexander, calls to change the mission in Iraq with a goal of getting troops out by the end of March. New York Times – July 12, 2007
Of course, none of these Senators are talking about the massive project of reconstruction in Iraq; the amount of work and money it will take to fix the mess we created in Iraq.
Part of what is keeping Iraq votes stagnant is the hard-line attitude of some Senators. "Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the Republican leader, sought to close ranks in advance of the vote {on Webb's amendment}. In a private meeting, an aide confirmed, he urged members not to join the "wimps," a term he used to describe senators who have broken with the president" (New York Times – July 12, 2007). On the other side, "Reid harshly dismissed the measure with the broadest bipartisan backing — a compilation of Iraq Study Group recommendations offered by freshman Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Colo.). The Salazar proposal, which as of last night had attracted six Democratic and six Republican co-sponsors, "won't change one thing that the president does," Reid said, who is opposed to anything short of legislation ending U.S. combat operations." (Washington Post – July 12, 2007)
Not one Senator legislatively acknowledges the impossibility of the situation in Iraq and the decades it will take to rebuild the countries infrastructure, government, and culture. Bush wants to wait until September to judge the situation — but even from oceans away we, the people of the United States, know the situation is grim. It will be grim in September and for the next few decades. All we can do it push for responsibility and peace.
It seems our representatives are in need of some guidance from the public. Peace Action has prepared a tool for you to contact your representatives during this critical time. We have pre-written a letter based on our priorities but I encourage you to change it to suit your view. Most importantly please remember to speak out. "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate tireless minority keep to set brushfires in peoples minds" (Samuel Adams).

hello everyone,I didn't find any better forum to post this question so im asking it here (if there's a better place for such question mod can move it i will be thankful.)
So, i'm using fb comments plugin together with highslide gallery scriptI want to add a unqiue comment box to every gallerythe problem is, that i cannot find how to do that, in their decutemation page (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/) it says that the plugin requires a link, which is not what i want...because then it wont be unique for each gallery but for the whole page..
Any ideas?
You do need to include a link to the page the comments are living in. I did a quick test and was able to add three different comment blocks to the same page by making the href unique for each one. You can do this by appending "#" and a unique identifier to the end of the href. I used "#1", "#2", and "#3". You might have something that looks like this:

I used the HTML5 version of the plugin code. Make sure to only include the JavaScript SDK on your page once.

Things have been really crazy for me lately. Work has basically taken over my life to the point that by the time Friday rolls around, I am a complete zombie, basically useless to family and friends.
First – I don't hate my job, I just have way too much to do.
It isn't like I don't try to let it go, but after spending the day frantically snowshoeing in rotten snow to get layout* done for a machine that is harvesting on the block I am working in, I arrive back into cell service to get 3 text messages from my boss if I got something done in 2 different places 2 hours from where I am, 5 messages from various landowners and contractors needing me where they are, and a message or two from the office wondering where some paperwork is that I was supposed to get in.
*layout is basically using flagging tape to communicate the harvest plan to the guys cutting the wood. I talk with them, make them maps, and the maps match what I have layed out in the woods.
This all has me considering getting a pilot's license and a plane to get around the state (except I really HATE to fly).
I have traded trying to fit training in around my 5am-6-7pm work day for eating and sleeping.
And quite frankly, the thought of anything regimented on the weekend after the weeks I have been having sounds just horrible to me at this point.
I am lucky – I have an active job that lets me work outside and see all kinds of wildlife.
I can take my friend Porter to work with me.
But still, I miss training.
I miss the long runs and rides and swims that seem to set my head straight.
But that just isn't happening. Not with this schedule, this level of burn-out that I am feeling.
And to top it off, my diet was becoming way cheese and meat focused. Mostly cheese. Because that is fast and easy and you can pound that stuff down on the go.
This lack of control over my time, the stress, the lack of training, had (ok has) me feeling very much like I was spiraling into hell.
I thought about what I could control.
I decided to do a little mix-up to my diet.
For the past 2 weeks, I have eaten vegan, and keeping up with the no sugar, no grains (NSNG).
Ok wait, I did have cheese the other night in a veggie quesadilla. But except for that, I have eaten vegan and NSNG.
The funny thing is, eating NSNG actually made me eat way more veggie-focused, I ate many of my meals vegetarian or even vegan unintentionally. This is kind of just another step.
What got me was that immediately, just like after I posted on Facebook about Ironman training, after posting about eating vegan for 2 weeks, I immediately got some negative responses, people concerned for my health – as if I am some bumbling idiot wandering off the edge of a cliff.
People brag about tons of unhealthy crap that they do, and I get crap for eating plant-based for 2 weeks? Really?
Anyway, I was lucky enough to find the Oh She Glows blog (thanks to my friend Tam). It didn't take me too long looking around the blog to realize I could make this work for me even better than I thought.
Also, my Vitamix has completely been getting a workout since I have been eating this way.
So what do I eat? LOTS!
But here is an example from a day last week:
Green smoothie. I like this one as a basic smoothie, but I have mixed it up quite a lot based on what I have. The basics for me are the almond butter, spinach, chia, and almond milk. The rest I add what I feel like or have. I made a yummy blueberry ginger one the other day.
After 2 days of this, I just didn't want coffee anymore. I am drinking caffine-free tea or green tea in the mornings now.
This is kind of a big deal.
Veggies (pre-cut on Sunday) and humus (sometimes homemade)
Homemade NSNG crackers & Almond Tuna Salad – this makes enough for 3 lunches and is freaking incredible.
Sloppy Lentils over Sweet Potato – I made the lentils on Sunday (see below), took them out in the morning so they would defrost, and microwaved the sweet potato, then heated up the lentils. Pour heated lentils over the sweet potato. I sprinkled some Nutritional Yeast on it. It was freaking awesome.
The best thing I did I learned from Elisa – I make a large soup or chili on the weekend and freeze them in ball jars (covers off, once frozen, I put the covers on). This way when I get home late during the week, I just pick out what I want, throw it in the microwave and chow down.
It is pretty sweet. I now have quite a few different options too.
The thing is – I feel great. Better than I did before this experiment, so I am extending it indefinitely.
I have tons of energy. Yes work still mentally drains me. But like I said, I feel better than I did before this I started eating vegan – and while I am not training, I AM very active at work, walking on snowshoes all day, walking trails all day. I put on a lot of miles, just not on the pavement and my energy for that sort of thing is better than it has been in a while.
I feel so great I just don't want to go back. For now anyway, I am sticking with the vegan focused eating, moving back and forth between vegetarian and vegan as situations arise.
Thanks for reading!

Took the CCW class today.
I finished the shooting part of the CCW class this evening. We took the classroom part of the class on Saturday, but got 9 inches of snow so we couldn't go to the range that day. We went tonight and qualified with our pistols. It was a great experience and I learned a lot. The instructor was a Sheriff Lieutenant and he was very knowledgable and helpful when it came to shooting properly. He took a great deal of time to tell us the proper stances, aiming techniques, and sight alignment. Our final test was 12 shots, 6 at 3 yards and 6 at 6 yards. My group was pretty good, except 2 strays that were about 6 inches off target. The officer said I was probably pulling the trigger too fast and hard, and not squeezing it slowly. After I slowed down, I started shooting better. I did pass, as did all 20 some students. So I will hopefully have my CCW permit in a few weeks!
Congrads on passing the class. It's a nice thing to have and hope you never have to use it. I can see it now, what to wear with this gun and holster. It seems you spend more money on clothes and holsters then you do on the guns. Good Luck:)
markpo 3/26/08
Congratulations also. Getting your CCW permit is just the first step in a long process of becoming proficient with your carry weapon. The next step is some sort of training, either with someone you know who is knowledgable or with one of the many training schools. Once you know the practice drills then its off to the range for practice, practice, practice. It is important to get some formalized instruction before you practice so you don't practice a wrong technique over and over ( which is very hard to un-learn).
Then of course you will get into the quandry of which belt, holster, mode of carry, and concealment clothing fits you best. Most of us have drawers of holsters which we have tried in the quest to find the optimal method for carrying our particular weapon.
By the way- what pistol have you picked as your carry piece? Good luck.
best wishes- oldandslow
I have a Springfield XD-40 subcompact. It came with a 12 and a 9 round magazine, and has a 3" barrel. I plan on getting some sort of further training, I have been watching Guns&Ammo TV, personal defense TV, and shooting USA. I love the outdoor channel on wednesday nights. Finding time to go to a range and practice is going to be the hard part, but I will make time when it warms up outside. Thank for the congratulations by the way!
There's no substitute for lot's of range time. Even with the price of ammo I try to shoot every weekend. Many times I'll just run one box thru one of my centerfires and then shoot the hell out of my .22s. Any trigger time is a good thing and practice makes us better...
Congrats on accomplishing one of your goals.
I will reinforce what was stated in previous posts, PRACTICE! and practice everything, not just shooting. Practice: retaining your weapon, drawing from various positions/holsters, etc..
Here is a weapons retention/speed draw/ self defense/read the situation game we use to play. The bad guy tries to take down the officer with a knive. Start out with the officer and the bad guy(another officer) about 10 feet apart and increase the distance until the officer can draw, shoot, and retain his weapon. My personel best as a bad guy was 28 ft before the best officer could take me out. We had one guy that was just so fast he could take out every officer from 34ft.
The point being, there are many aspects to CC. Learn more and practice.
PS. Did I mention practice more?:)
markopo 3/29/08
Sounds like you have a good plan to start your practice sessions, and the XD-40 is a good platform. Let us know how you are doing in a few months with your shooting.
best wishes- oldandslow
Anyone else not required to fire a handgun to get their LTC?

The Queen's Vow: A Novel of Isabella of Castile (edition 2012)
by C. W. Gortner
Work details
The Queen's Vow by C. W. Gortner
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In this fictionalized account of Isabella of Castile, the Queen comes to life to the reader, perhaps in a slightly different manner than I remember her from studying world history. The novel shows how she came to power following the death of her brother, and the opposition she faced from his illegitimate daughter in a time before DNA testing would have settled the matter once and for all. We also see her devotion to the Catholic Church. The author portrays her as being tolerant of the Jews for many years but finally giving in to Torquemada's desire to extend the Inquisition beyond the "conversos" to those Jews who never became Christians. I could not help but be disappointed in her weakness in giving in to Torquemada to persecute God's chosen people. I really don't think a person can truly appreciate so much of what Jesus did for us on the Cross without an understanding of Jewish tradition. It does show her support of Colon's (i.e. Christopher Columbus) venture which led to Spain's conquest of many new lands. The author does describe departures from historical record at the end of the book. I listened to the Blackstone Audio version of the book narrated by Rosalyn Landor, who did an excellent job.
4.5 Stars
Historical novelist C.W. Gortner's latest release, The Queen's Vow, is a biographical novel about one of history's most famous female monarchs, Isabella of Castile. While the novel doesn't follow Isabella's life and reign in their entirety, it does cover their most significant aspects, including her early years with her mother and brother in Arevalo, her tumultuous days at the court of her half-brother King Enrique, her marriage to Fernando of Aragon and fight for her crown, and her reign as Queen of Castile up until her decision to sponsor Christopher Columbus on his journey to the New World.
Gortner does an admirable job of bringing Isabella of Castile to life and this is complemented by his lovely, descriptive prose. I particularly enjoyed how Gortner chose to characterize Isabella, who is portrayed as an intelligent, loyal and determined woman, one whose chosen courses of action are always made in consideration of what she feels is best for Castile, even if they are actions she doesn't necessarily agree with. While Isabella is often praised for the many reforms she instituted within her Kingdom, including her support for women's education, as well as for her efforts, along with her husband Fernando, towards the unification of Castile and Aragon, she is also much criticized for her agreement to establish the Spanish Inquisition and subsequent expulsion of the Jews. Although Gortner paints Isabella in a positive light throughout most of the novel, he doesn't try to diminish her role in the Inquisition or her decision to expel the Jews. He does however, portray Isabella as a woman who thought long and hard before making such momentous decisions, one who understood what her decisions would mean for those they directly impacted. As Gortner notes in his author's afterword, little to nothing is known about Isabella's true feelings on the Inquisition and expulsion of the Jews, so Gortner used what is known about her personality to craft the views she espouses in this novel. While we'll never know if Gortner's interpretation accurately reflects Isabella's actual beliefs, they are consistent with how she is portrayed in the rest of the novel and thus make them plausible.
One of the things I love about reading historical fiction is that it provides the opportunity to not only be entertained, but also informed. Prior to reading this novel my knowledge of Isabella of Castile did not extend much beyond her marriage to Fernando, her sponsorship of Christopher Columbus and the fact that she was the mother of Catherine of Aragon and Juana of Castile. I had no idea she had such a turbulent upbringing, that her marriage to Fernando was arranged at her request, nor that many of the decisions about the rule of Castile were hers to make alone. Thanks to The Queen's Vow I now have a much greater appreciation for Queen Isabella, as well as a desire to learn even more about her.
If you've not read any of C.W. Gortner's novels I highly recommend you do so and The Queen's Vow would be a great place to start.
Isabella of Castile ruled Castile with her husband Ferdinand of Aragon in the mid- to late-15th century. This work of fiction follows her from when she was born until about 1492, when she granted Christopher Columbus some funds to explore and just after the Jews were expelled from Castile if they didn't convert to Catholicism.
I didn't know much about Isabella of Castile, beyond her being Katherine of Aragon's and Juana of Castile's ("Mad Juana") mother and that she went to battle with her army. I really enjoyed this! I listened to the audio and although the narrator had a British accent, otherwise it was fine. It mostly held my interest (though I did find my mind wandering during battle scenes near the end!), but I found the rest very interesting. It seemed that – at least in some things – she was forward thinking (but not in everything). The book had her conflicted about the banishment of the Jews, but as Gortner pointed out in his note at the end (I love author's notes at the end of historical fiction!), we don't really know what she thought personally. I should also admit to not waiting till the end of the book to "find" the author's note – remember, I was listening to the audio, so I couldn't just flip ahead – and just checking out wikipedia for more on Isabella!
C.W. Gortner is well known for his historical fiction novels and I have been interested in reading his works for many years. This being my first one, I was impressed. His detailing of Isabella is almost sedulous with how painstaking it is. While he painted an extremely detailed portrait of Isabella, I'm not positive he painted her as accurately as she is known for being.
Isabella I of Castile was never expected to amount to anything yet she became known for greatness. Her struggle to claim her true right to the throne after her brother died at an early age is the initial focus of this novel. It also showcases first-hand the initial meeting of Isabella and her future-husband, Ferdinand II of Aragon.
Isabella is known for being a strong, independent queen who was able to reorganize governments and unburden the kingdom of debts that had been crushing for all citizens. She is also well known for her unwavering faith and while we saw moments of faith, I think the focus on her infatuation with a boy she knew for two days is a bit off-base. It's also unfounded in history as her and her husband did not meet until they were married. The Queen's Vow focuses heavily on their initial meeting and their subsequent separation after which Isabella pines over him because she's unable to communicate with him.
I've found this to be a common trend with many historical fiction novels (the emphasis on the romance aspect whether it being grounded in history or not) and I can say it often leaves me disappointed. This is especially true when the main character is telling the story of a strong woman in a time when women were constantly impeded. What I also found disconcerting was her disassociation from the corruption and decay that was happening around her. While all this chaos was happening around her she sat silently, biting her tongue and digging her nails in her hands to maintain composure. While I believe this to be done as further proof of her unwavering faith, it actually made her to be a very bland and boring character.
While I wasn't completely impressed with the representation of Isabella, I was for the most part pleased with the writing style of Gortner and his attention to detail. It's clear that he researches his topics extensively, I just hope that he doesn't take too much artistic license in all of his stories.
I normally don't review books that I just couldn't bring myself to finish without skimming, but in my opinion each book that Gortner has written has been poorer than the last, so I thought I should warn other readers. I was really looking forward to this novel--I'm fascinated by Isabella, and even went very far out of my way on rather bad roads to visit her birthplace while I was living in Spain (a dusty, obscure little town at the time, a rather sad place, with a tiny shrine to her memory in the partially ruined castle where she was born). I really enjoyed [b:The Last Queen|2367495|The Last Queen|C.W. Gortner|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320503753s/2367495.jpg|2374321], as I thought the depiction of the harsh landscape of central and southern Spain was evocative without being sentimental; I could just tell, without then knowing anything about the author, that he KNEW Spain, which of course he does as he is half-Spanish and spent years growing up there. I thought his portrait of Juana was excellent; Gortner does crazy quite well. He still is a good man to turn to when looking for a portrait of the unhinged: the depiction of Isabella's whacked-out mother is by far the most compelling part of this novel. The descriptions of the landscape are still good, too, but frankly, it's not enough any more.
This book is not very good at all. It's filled with the most absurd, info-dumping dialogue where people "remind" each other of complicated political machinations of decades past, and chockablock with the most terrible wooden writing, where people's blood run cold and eyebrows lift sardonically, and the villain's breath is always fetid. Gortner seems to have forgotten every lesson on writing that he ever knew, especially the one of SHOWING and not TELLING. Everything seems to be seen at a distance, which is quite a feat when you're dealing with first-person narration.
Isabella comes off as a very modern woman, and kind of a stupid one at that. Where is the determined monarch of the early Renaissance, the fervent believer, the warrior driven by the conviction that she was doing God's work? You won't find her here. There's far too much talk of women's rights, and sentimental sighings over sending off her daughters to be wed. It's not that I don't believe she had a mother's feelings, but royal girls were raised up to be political pawns; for Isabella to describe herself over and over again as being distraught seems to be unrealistic. Her relationship with Fernando--the greatest political/matrimonial alliance in history--is reduced to a a bunch of squabbles that finish with cries and kisses and make-up sex in bed. Isabella doesn't hate anybody except the Portuguese--it's OK to describe them as vermin. Other groups that were sanctioned/expelled/murdered by her orders, such as the Moors, Jews, and Conversos--well, she was terribly sorry; someone else persuaded her to do it. I guess it is all right for Isabella's feelings towards the Portuguese to be accurate--it seems nobody cares about Spain's neighbor to the west--but let's tippy-toe around everyone else for the sake of political correctness. It bothered me that Gortner would rather depict her as weak, or easily persuaded, rather than examine carefully Isabella's attitudes on the social and political turmoil that occured during her reign, merely to spare the modern reader's feelings.
I started skimming the book when Isabella was present at the bedside of her brother when he was dying of plague (really? having the heir to the throne present?) but I was impatient before that, when Gortner had Isabella and Fernando meeting years before they met each other (they actually met the night before their marriage). It's just to make the story better, Gortner says reassuringly in his afterword. Yes, I get it, most readers aren't looking for complete historical accuracy in their novels, but give us something for our troubles. Exciting action. Excellent writing. Or the feeling that we can really understand the characters, who have vanished into the past, even though they are very different from ourselves. Something. Anything.
Queen Isabella was a complex and amazing woman, no matter what you think of her role in history. This novel does not do her justice. At all.

Guest Reviewer: Michelle Moran on C.W. Gortner's The Queen's Vow
Michelle Moran is the international bestselling author of Nefertiti, The Heretic Queen, Cleopatra's Daughter, and Madame Tussaud. Her fifth novel The Second Empress will be published in 2012. Michelle's experiences at archaeological sites around the world inspired her to write historical fiction.
I love how C.W. Gortner chooses maligned women in history and re-examines them in his novels within the context of their era. In The Queen's Vow, he has done it again, creating a mesmerizing and unforgettable portrait of Isabella of Castile. For all her fame, Isabella is often misunderstood. She's either revered as a near-saint or despised as a religious intolerant. Of course, most of us know she sent Christopher Columbus to America, but few of us have been told the amazing story of her youth, when Spain was a broken kingdom and she just a forgotten princess, whom no one expected to rule.
It is the mid-1400s. In Europe, most countries are united under one ruler. But in Spain, ancient divisions between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragón, and violent feuds between nobles, have created anarchy. Isabella is the daughter of an exiled widow, and she and her younger brother Alfonso live far from court in the countryside. Their royal father is dead; their mother haunted by the past; and their half brother, Castile's new king, barely reigns, dominated by his favorites and his conniving, beautiful queen.
Then Isabella and Alfonso are sent to court, where they soon become pawns in a vicious struggle for power. Accused of treason, Isabella is held a prisoner, while her brother leads a rebellion. But when tragedy strikes, Isabella suddenly is named heir to the throne, though no woman before her has successfully ruled for long. As she embarks on a perilous path toward the throne, she indulges a forbidden desire for Prince Fernando of Aragón— a desire that pits her against her half brother the king and his ruthless nobles, all of whom seek her downfall. Can she marry the man she loves and still remain a sovereign queen? And how will she win over all her sworn enemies and restore peace in Spain after centuries of intrigue and discord?
Gortner vividly recreates the turmoil of Isabella's youth and the striking contrasts of the country she knew, where the last Moors cling to their faded realm in the south and different cultures merge in uneasy alliance. Isabella's stormy rise to power and quest to become a worthy queen are stunningly described, but what makes Gortner's Isabella so unique is that while she is brave and daring, she is also conflicted— a fallible woman exercising her power in a traditionally male-dominated world. In her, we can see ourselves. She is like us: passionate and hopeful, proud yet doubtful, compelled to fight for what she believes in. Though The Queen's Vow doesn't shy away from the terrible decisions she chooses to make, it reminds us that in the end, Isabella was human, a woman of conviction and strength in a time of upheaval, who forged her destiny despite every odd, to become Spain's most beloved queen.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:58:32 -0400)
"No one believed I was destined for greatness. So begins Isabella's story, in this evocative, vividly imagined novel about one of history's most famous and controversial queens--the warrior who united a fractured country, the champion of the faith whose reign gave rise to the Inquisition, and the visionary who sent Columbus to discover a New World. Acclaimed author C. W. Gortner envisages the turbulent early years of a woman whose mythic rise to power would go on to transform a monarchy, a nation, and the world. Young Isabella is barely a teenager when she and her brother are taken from their mother's home to live under the watchful eye of their half-brother, King Enrique, and his sultry, conniving queen. There, Isabella is thrust into danger when she becomes an unwitting pawn in a plot to dethrone Enrique. Suspected of treason and held captive, she treads a perilous path, torn between loyalties, until at age seventeen she suddenly finds herself heiress of Castile, the largest kingdom in Spain. Plunged into a deadly conflict to secure her crown, she is determined to wed the one man she loves yet who is forbidden to her--Fernando, prince of Aragon. As they unite their two realms under "one crown, one country, one faith," Isabella and Fernando face an impoverished Spain beset by enemies. With the future of her throne at stake, Isabella resists the zealous demands of the inquisitor Torquemada even as she is seduced by the dreams of an enigmatic navigator named Columbus. But when the Moors of the southern domain of Granada declare war, a violent, treacherous battle against an ancient adversary erupts, one that will test all of Isabella's resolve, her courage, and her tenacious belief in her destiny. From the glorious palaces of Segovia to the battlefields of Granada and the intrigue-laden gardens of Seville, The Queen's Vow sweeps us into the tumultuous forging of a nation and the complex, fascinating heart of the woman who overcame all odds to become Isabella of Castile"--… (more)

Iconic Body
The most iconic and striking feature of any Explorer is its mahogany body, which provides players with a well-balanced, weight-reduced guitar alternative, with absolutely no compromises in tone, sustain, or performance. Its solid mahogany body is taken from the design of the original 1976 Explorer and not only provides a resonant tone, but its nipped in waist provides a more comfortable shape that can be held closer to the body for shredding solos!
Slim Taper Neck & Angled Headstock
The Gibson's Explorer features a mahogany explorer slim taper neck, which is a hybrid neck profile similar to the '50s rounded contour and the '60s slim-taper profile. As with all Gibson necks, this mahogany neck is machined in Gibson's rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. Once the rosewood fingerboard is glued on, the rest, including the final sanding is all done by hand, adding to the overall prestige of this stunning instrument. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel.
The angled headstock featured on this guitar is another example of Gibson's industry-changing way of thinking and quality. All Explorer headstocks are carved out of the same piece of mahogany as the neck, and then fitted with Gibson's traditional wing blocks. The headstock is also carefully angled at 17 degrees, which increases pressure on the strings and helps them stay in the nut slots. In addition, an increase in string pressure also means there is no loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners, which equals better sustain and an overall smooth play.
Polished Frets Offer a Smooth Feel
Like with many of the new Gibson Explorers, this model also features a stunning rosewood fingerboard, complete with 22 polished frets. As wells as offering a prestigious look, these polished frets allow for smoother bends, and a fluid hand movement across the whole fingerboard, which is ideal for soloists out there.
496R & 500T Pickups Produce Rocking Firebird Tones
As well as sporting an iconic design, the Gibson Explorer HP Electric Guitar is also equipped with 496R and 500T humbuckers, which are renowned for delivering more power for scorching rock tones. Each coil of the 496R in the neck position is wound with 7,000 turns of 44-gauge wire, while the 500T offers an even higher output. The 500T is one of Gibson's most powerful pickups, containing a three ceramic magnet structure, which enables a no-holds-barred rock and roll crunch that never loses its rich combination of enhanced lows and crystal clear highs. This is one of Gibson's most potent pickup combinations, offering the best tones for achieiving limitless possibilities of the tonal spectrum.
G Force Auto-Tuning System For Quick & Efficient Tuning
All Gibsons High Perfomance range are equipped with the innovative G force self tuning system, which is a cleverly designed system that works by a mechanical device that is secured to the headstock. Each machine head contains a small servo motor that can wind the string up or down. Simply push the on button and strum to see this device in action and perfectly tune your guitar.
Titanium Zero-Fret Adjustable Nut
Not only does the new Gibson Explorer HP provide the perfect combination of superb tone and looks, it is also equipped with an innovative Nut. The Zero-Fret Adjustable Nut is a superior nut design in Gibson's High-Performance series of guitars, due to its exceptional adjustability to match various playing styles. This cleverly designed Nut benefits from an all-titanium construction for extreme durability, and a retaining screw so the nut stays in place when you change strings. Like with bridge adjustments, the Zero-Fret Nut allows you to adjust the height and angle, for the optimum feel.
Aluminium Tune-O-Matic Bridge
The Tune-O-Matic bridge offers stability, reliability, comfortable playing position and impressive sustain. Adjusting the string action and intonation is extremely simple with a tune-o-matic bridge, as you simply adjust the height of the bridge with the mounting rods to alter the action, and screw the bridge saddles in or out to achieve perfect intonation.
In addition, every Tune-O-Matic bridge that Gibson feature on thier models is combined with a separate "stopbar" tailpiece, which is essentially designed to further enhance the connection between the strings and the body.

Mainly because power plants have switched from coal to natural gas, climate-changing carbon dioxide emissions hit an unexpected 20-year low earlier this year, the Associated Press reports.
AP cites a "little-noticed technical report" released earlier this month by the U.S. Energy Department. It stated that CO2 emissions from January through April hit 1992 levels, a "surprising turnaround," AP writes.
AP says it contacted environmental experts, scientists and utility companies "and learned that virtually everyone believes the shift could have major long-term implications for U.S. energy policy."
Although conservation, the sluggish economy and wider use of renewable energy contributed to the decline, low-priced natural gas was the prime factor, the Energy Information Agency found. The speed of the electric-power industry's switch from coal to gas surprised just about everyone.
Despite the good news here, coal use and CO2 emissions are rising worldwide. And natural gas still emits carbon dioxide, though CO2 emissions from natural gas in the United States were down in the first quarter.
"Natural gas is not a long-term solution to the CO2 problem," Roger Pielke Jr., a climate expert at the University of Colorado, told AP.
The portion of the nation's electricity that comes from coal has fallen to its lowest level since World War II.
Today in Louisville, Ky., natural gas was on the agenda at a major coal conference: "Natural Gas: Is the Threat to Coal Sustainable?"

Post subject: 1st rounder with a 2nd to come soon. Enjoy
1. Chiefs- Geno Smith QB West VA
- Joeckel may end up the pick but the Chiefs need a QB and while waiting until round two could be a possibility, they lock up the need here. Horrible year to pick first.
2. Jaguars- Star L DT Utah
-The Jaguars add the best defender in the draft to an already decent defense.
3. Bills (from Raiders)- Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M
-The Bills move up for the tackle they covet. They trade their 3rd this year and a 4th next year. Raiders take less to move out of the spot and add more picks.
4. Eagles- Eric Fisher OT Central Michigan
-The Eagles grab Fisher here as a possible surprise pick, who has the athleticism to strive in a Chip Kelly offense.
5. Lions- Dee Miliner CB Alabama
- With the chance to add the top pass rusher, the Lions still choose to add to the secondary with the top corner.
6. Browns- Damontre Moore DE Texas A&M
Moore adds a pass rush to a solid Browns D. Jarvis Jones is a possibility here as well.
7. Steelers (from Cardinals)- Jarvis Jones LB UGA
The Steelers move up giving up their 2nd rounder to add Jones who can be a terror for the Steelers. They have other needs but Jones is worth the move.
8. Raiders (from Bills)- Bjoern Werner DE FSU
Werner adds to the Raiders defense as a pass rusher who is solid against the run.
9. Jets- Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU
Four pass rushers in a row fills a need here for the Jets.
10. Titans- Sheldon Richardson DT Mizzou
Richardson provides an interior pass rusher for the Titans, and will make the ends more effective in doing so.
11. Chargers- Manti Teo LB ND
With both tackles gone the Chargers select the Catfish.
12. Dolphins- Keenan Allen WR CAL
The Dolphins need playmakers at the receiver position.
13. Buccaneers- Jonathan Banks CB MSU
The Bucs need CB help and Banks is the next best player. One of the LBer's could be an option but Banks will help the secondary.
14. Cardinals (from Panthers)- Lane Johnson OT OU
The Cardinals jump back up only three spots for a 4th to grab Johnson here.
15. Saints- Shariff Floyd DT Florida
The Saints add Floyd to provide a solid interior defender. Some say he is a better pass rusher than run defender some say the opposite, but how about decent at both.
16. Rams- Kenny Vaccaro S Texas
The Rams bolster the secondary with this selection of vaccaro.
17. Bengals (from Panthers)- Alec Ogletree LB UGA
The Bengals move up for Ogletree who won't be there when their turn comes around with the LBer hungry Giants and Bears pick before them. Panthers move back down picking up another fourth.
18. Cowboys- Chance Warmack OG Alabama
The Cowboys can save some cap by letting Ratliff go And he is injury plagued, so Jesse Williams could be a fit, they can't pass on Warmack here though.
19. Giants- Ziggy Ansah DE BYU
Umenyiora will be gone so they add Ansah to pair with JPP and Tuck. Minter could be the pick also but they take the talented Senior Bowl star here.
20. Bears- Kevin Minter LB LSU
The Bears could look at Lane Johnson here but they need someone to replace Urlacher and Minter could be that guy.
21. Panthers (from Bengals)- Jesse Williams NT Alabama
Could play in a 4-3 as a Huge Clog in the middle.
22. Rams (from Redskins)- Cordarelle Patterson WR UT
Hoping Lane Johnson would still be around the Rams grab Bradford a weapon with the 22 pick instead.
23. Vikings- Jonathan Hankins DT OSU
The Vikes could use a MLB and a WR here but they choose Hankins to wreak havoc in the middle of the D.
24. Colts- Matt Elam S UF
The Colts can use the "Sandman" back in their secondary to put receivers to sleep.
25. Seahawks- Terrence Williams WR Baylor
Carroll wants a pass rusher so Dion Jordan could be a fit, but giving Russel Wilson another weapon could help out.
26. Packers- Barrett Jones C/OG Alabama
The Packers could use the versatile lineman to push some guys.
27. Texans- Tavon Austin WR UWV
Austin provides Houston with a weapon opposite Dre. Regardless of his size the kid can play.
28. Jaguars (from Broncos)- Sam Montgomery DE LSU
The Jaguars want to add a pass rush so they move up for Montgomery who fits them better than Jordan. Trade their fourth to Denver.
29. Patriots- DeAndre Hopkins WR Clemson
Patriots add another weapon with the top two safeties gone, they give Brady another toy.
30. Falcons- Alex Okafor DE Texas
Better suited with his hand down than Jordan, and the Falcons need a pass rusher. There is always that TE possibility.
31. Ravens- Dion Jordan OLB Oregon
Kruger may be gone so they replace him with Jordan, who may go much earlier than this.
32. 49ers- Desmond Trufant CB UW
The 49ers could add D-line help here, but I am not impressed by their Cb play and I believe Trufant can be an upgrade.
33. Broncos- Kawann Short DT Purdue
Props to Jamison on the sig

I personally would rather see us go for Ansah or Jordan but Allen is the right choice if going for a wide receiver for the Fins,

Would you care to further explain:
- Why do the Bills need a tackle with Glenn drafted last year, let alone move up for one?
- Why is Johnson worth trading up to 14 and not worth picking at 11?
- How can the Bears "look at Lane Johnson" if he went 6 picks ago?
PS - Good Standard Falcons Pick

I never said 11 was too early for Johnson just the top two tackles were gone. The Bills trade up because Cordy is not going to be an elite LT. And the Bears explanation I didn't edit after altering the mock

Our defence was dominant last season with a crippled Urlacher playing MLB.
Do you appreciate how bad our OL is and how it just cost a coach and a GM their jobs.
OG Jonathan Cooper please.

Ogletree is not nearly good enough to move up to get. I wouldnt even take him in the 1st. Plus the Bengals will not move up for a back up LB.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Mason Disick! Look Back at His Cutest Moments (PHOTOS)
The Kardashian Klan has been pouring their love out for the little man, starting with Kris Jenner, who gushed via Twitter,
"Happy Birthday Mason my little angel!!! You are 2 today!!! Wooohooo I love you!!!"
In honor of Mason's b-day, we've compiled his most adorable moments! Click through the gallery to see the pics.
Right after Kourtney gave birth in 2009, she told Life & Style, "I'm just loving all the time with him. I really don't miss my old life. I can't imagine life without Mason now." Aww!
And in an official blog post from last year, Auntie Kim gushed about the tot, writing, "Words can't express how much little Mase has changed my life. He is such a blessing to our family and watching him grow into a gorgeous little man is so amazing. Looking back at all these pics, it's crazy to see how fast he has grown… it seems like just yesterday we were all at the hospital with Kourtney for his birth, and now he's walking around all on his own and I can barely lift him."

Marte Nabs E.L. Rookie of the Year Honors
League's leading hitter caps standout season with the Curve
By Altoona Curve | September 4, 2011 11:27 AM ET
It is the first time in team history that a Curve player has been selected as the E.L. Rookie of the Year.
"On behalf of the Pirates organization it has been fun to watch the development of Starling Marte both offensively and defensively over the past three seasons," said Curve Manager P.J. Forbes. "It is a credit to both our international scouting department and scouting department as well as our player development staff and we all look forward to seeing him in Pittsburgh in the future."
Marte enters tonight's game with the Squirrels the league's leading hitter at .335 and is searching for the batting title, which would be a first for a Curve player in team history. Jeff Keppinger hit a franchise-best .338 in 2004 and wound up winning the batting title but he finished the season with the Binghamton Mets after a midseason trade. The Santo Domingo, D.R. native's 177 hits eclipsed the previous franchise season-high of 166 set by Nate McLouth in 2004.
He also stands in the top-5 in franchise history for a single season in runs scored (T-4th, 90), doubles (3rd, 38), and extra-base hits (2nd, 58). In addition to leading the league in hitting, he also leads the league in hits (177) and doubles (T-1st, 38). He's among the top-5 in at bats (3rd, 528), extra-base hits (3rd, 58), runs scored (2nd, 90) and total bases (2nd, 267).
The standout centerfielder has had hitting streaks this season of 16, 14, 13 and 11 games at different points throughout the season. He's currently on a season-best, 16-game hit streak entering tonight's game with the Squirrels.
In addition to all the other listings he's also set career highs in games played, batting average, hits, doubles, triples, home runs, RBI and walks. He's also tied a career-high in stolen bases
Marte was signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2007 and 2011 marks his third season stateside in the Pirates' organization.

Aetna Updates 2010
Please find attached an excerpt from Aetna's March, 2010 OfficeLink newsletter. The newsletter announces a change in policy regarding payment for services provided by PAs. Aetna will decrease its payment for service provided by PAs, NPs, and nurse midwives to 85% of the physician contracted rate effective June 1, 2010. As part of this policy change, Aetna is asking that PAs be officially listed in their network provider directories. The newsletter may be found in its entirety here: Office Link newsletter. Scroll to your state, select the March 2010 edition, and go to page 4 for the relevant information.
AAPA recommends the following:
- For additional details, practices / facilities should contact their Aetna provider representative for the billing implications of this change in policy.
- Note that there are strict legal prohibitions against state or national chapters and associations negotiating payment amounts with private third party payers. Review the Anti-Trust Implications of Negotiating with Third-Party Payers. Individual practices are able to negotiate payment levels with third party payers.
- As always, practice contracts with payers should include specific language that says that PAs are covered for services consistent with state law guidelines for supervision and scope of practice.
Preliminary information from Aetna indicates that the payer is allowing services to be billed using a billing concept similar to Medicare's "incident to" billing provision. Therefore, if "incident to" guidelines are met, PAs may bill office services under the physician's name with reimbursement at 100% following implementation of the new policy in June, 2010. AAPA is seeking written verification of this policy as well as the following:
- the potential applicability of Medicare's "split/shared" billing provision;
- implications for credentialing/enrollment;
- placement of the NPI on claim forms; and
- the ability of PAs to enroll as primary care providers.
Please check AAPA's private payer postings for policy updates as they become available.

Today, in the middle of sex, my boyfriend sighed, said "I can't do this any more" and pulled out. After repeatedly asking him what was wrong, he basically told me that I suck in bed. Apparently, the way I "just lie there" makes him feel like a necrophile. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into an argument; however, his new-found passion for hardcore rapping meant that he tried to "diss" me using bad rhymes and ill thought-out putdowns. It was ridiculous, and didn't really make any sense, so I started giggling. He stormed off, grumbling. FML

Whatever the merits and meaning of the Red Sox latest meltdown -- as yet not fully determined -- it is already clear that the merry contretemps featuring the alleged "mutiny" of certain roster malcontents who've become disenchanted with manager Bobby Valentine should be seen as very much in this historically inscrutable team's richest tradition.
"Rebelling against the manager?" "Undermining authority?" "Ratting out one another?" "Stars brown-nosing the owner?" "Managers being devoured in the cross-currents of palace intrigues?"
Why, it's all there in black and white raging through the annals of your beloved Fenway boys of summer, old Sport. In the interests of time and space we'll confine this review to the "modern-era," beginning right after WW II.
But before getting into all that let me make this much clear right here and now. You will hear apologists and other doting lackeys of Red Sox Nation argue that this stuff happens on all teams. WRONG!
Yes, it happens -- at least every blue moon or so -- on every team in every sport. But not with the consistency that it happens here. Not with the levels of venom and malice achieved here. Not with the epic carnage that's been produced here. No formal records are kept on the subject. You won't find corroborative evidence in the Elias' data-base. But I'll vehemently argue no team in any game has a record for such colossal ragtime faintly comparable to what's been etched by your Boston Red Sox. PERIOD!

What you are going to do is create your own price book. Amy Dacyczyn was the first author I read that described this system. Invest the 15 minutes a week required to get this program up and running and you will have a huge return on the time spent. Or, as we frugal types like to say, you will achieve a very high hourly wage for your effort!
The first thing you do is sit down with your ring binder (price book) and write down the most frequent items you buy and the prices that you normally pay off the top of your head. If you are like most of my clients, you will have no idea what you pay for most of your groceries. The next thing to do is to grab your store advertising circulars. Most folks get these in the mail or have a spouse or friend pop by the store on the way home to pick up the week's circulars. Look over each circular and put down the sale prices of the items that you would buy that week; the most highly discounted items (the "loss leaders," or items sold below cost to lure you into the store) and thus the best buys will be on the front and back pages.
