Beautiful Ship-Best Spring Break Trip: Allure of the Seas Cruise Review by kdd1507
Overall Member Rating
Beautiful Ship-Best Spring Break Trip
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We traveled with our Nanny, her husband and our three children for a total of 7. We flew in the day before sailing and stayed at the Gallery One Doubletree Suites. We DO NOT recommend this hotel. It was very pricey for what we received. The rooms were average and service was lacking. Our nanny and her husband arrived at the hotel prior to my family and they would not let them check into the room. They were very short in their answers to us. We were down at the breakfast buffet the next morning by 9:00 and they were out of food. They never did re-stock prior to us leaving for the ship so we got by on cereal, fruit and some sausage. They did comp our breakfast so at least we did not have to pay for it.
The transportation More to the ship was really great. We did arrange that through the hotel. We left the hotel at 10:30 and were on the ship by 11:30. So easy and the process was very organized.
I can't even begin to describe this ship. The destination is truly the ship. It is the only ship that we have completed a cruise on and said we need to cruise on the ship again because there is so much to see and do. We found several families who booked back to back cruises so they could spend 14 days on the ship. If you can do this- I recommend it.
We begin walking around the ship as our rooms were not ready until 1:00. My kids rode the carousel and we ate lunch at Johnny Rockets. The ship NEVER felt crowded. This was amazing considering there were 5,000 people on board.
If you have not booked your shows and dinner reservations prior to boarding the ship I recommend you go directly to your stateroom as soon as it opens and book them on the T.V. Everything fills up quickly.
If you are traveling with an infant we recommend taking a travel pack n play. This is half the size of a regular pack n play and we were able to take it with us on Labadee. It fit in the room nicely and was great to set up on the beach.
The late night movies were a big hit with my kids. Every night at 10;30 they show a different movie (Harry Potter, Grease, Wizard of Oz). Check the Compass for the detail.
The service on this ship is lacking greatly. We love to cruise because the attention to detail is typically great and we usually feel so spoiled. This ship was not the case. This was our first cruise on RC so I don't know if this is their standard or if it is just that the ship holds so many guests that they cannot deliver their usual standard. Nobody went above and beyond except for in the specialty restaurants. We ate at all of them and recommend them all except for Ritas. Ritas is not worth the extra charge. Giovannis is EXCELLENT and was our favorite. We also ate at the cupcake cupboard everyday. My girls loved seeing the different flavors that appeared in the case on a daily basis.
We stayed at the Ritz Carlton after we disembarked. EXCELLENT. Such a nice way to unwind after a great trip. The service is beyond exceptional and we would highly recommend this as a great place to stay. Wish we had started our trip here. Less

Cabin review: D66710 Superior Outside View Stateroom with Balcony
The smallest room on a cruise ship that we have been on. We had an infant and we spent 40 minutes trying to figure out where to place the pack n play. There just wasn't any room. Loved that we could fit suitcases under the bed.Read All Superior Outside View Stateroom with Balcony (D6) Reviews >>

The Cole Classic is a drop in the ocean for swimmer Lochie Hinds. The 17-year-old from Normanhurst won the nine-kilometre category last year in one hour and 50 minutes, but his biggest feat of 2012 was swimming the English Channel in 12 hours and 22 minutes in July.
After coming up with the ''crazy idea'' and 18 months of training, he left the French coastline to reach England 34 kilometres later in 12-degree waters.
''Apart from feeling freezing the whole time, it was weird - it was excitement; I went through thousands of emotions,'' he says. ''At first it was like, 'Am I really here?' ''
Swimming the channel is notoriously difficult, not just because of the distance but also the tides. At one point Hinds managed to go forward only 100 metres in four hours.
His next super swim will be the 46-kilometre Manhattan Island Marathon Swim in June, but meanwhile he is back for The Sydney Morning Herald Cole Classic, which he first swam nine years ago at the age of eight. ''I'd love to win it again, but who knows?'' he says. ''It depends who's there on the day. But you know what, you just get in the water and all of that goes - you're just there to enjoy the journey.''
Also there for the fun side are a group of 80 swimmers, known collectively as Babewatch. The team started three years ago with just 10 members and has grown rapidly by promoting an active, positive lifestyle for young people - with a fund-raising side, too.
Meg Achilles, 27, is the group's sponsor liaison (a volunteer position; she has a day job as a health program evaluation consultant) after becoming involved last year when she saw the group on the beach in their uniform of pink cossies sponsored by Budgy Smuggler, and decided she wanted to participate in the event.
''There's just something really appealing about their energy and spirit that makes you want to get involved,'' she says.
This summer, the group is doing six ocean swims with a fund-raising target of $40,000 for CanTeen, which supports young people aged 15 to 24 affected by cancer.
The group will be participating in the two-kilometre category at the Cole Classic, which is celebrating its 30th year.
Overall, more than 5000 people will take part, swimming the one-kilometre and two-kilometre courses from Shelly Beach to Manly and the nine-kilometre distance from Dee Why to Manly.
And it is not just the swimmers who benefit - about 700 charities will receive more than $500,000 from the fund-raisers.
The Manly Life Saving Club general manager, Marc Manion, says the Cole Classic is a key event on the Sydney ocean swims calendar. On the day, the club has about 150 lifesavers in the water, on safety patrol.
''It's a really good, fun weekend. It's a lot of work for us - the logistics are highly stressful and it's an enormous task,'' he says.
''But we love it - it's one of the classic events of Sydney.''
Sunday, 8am start for the 1km and 9km swims; 10.30am start for the 2km. Main entries have closed, but latecomers can sign on Saturday, 11am-2pm, at the Cole Classic Expo at Manly Life Saving Club, South Steyne, Manly. See coleclassic.com, entries from $45.

Augustas application for an Opportunity Zone has been approved by the state, the city announced this morning.
When two or more jobs are created, businesses within the Opportunity Zone may be eligible to receive $3,500 in employee tax credits for each new job.
Augusta's opportunity zone includes an area south of Milledgeville Road, bordered by Old McDuffie Road, and south to Benson Road.
Businesses may claim the tax credits for every new job created for four years, beginning in January 2009.
The city had to submit an application and an urban redevelopment plan to be eligible to receive the opportunity zone designation. If an area is in or adjacent to a census block group with 15 percent or greater poverty where an enterprise zone or urban redevelopment plan currently exists, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs may award opportunity zone designation.
In order to be eligible to receive the tax credits, businesses will have to verify that they are within Augusta's opportunity zones. Businesses will have to submit an application to the state, verified by the local government.
The introduction of Opportunity Zones in Augusta will serve as another strong tool to supplement the already progressive and tremendously successful efforts of our economic development team, said Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver.
The opportunity zones will be in effect for four years.

Larry Nelson, 1937-2007: KOMO radio veteran Larry Nelson dies
Updated 10:00 pm, Thursday, November 29, 2007
Larry Nelson, who for nearly three decades provided what one listener described as "the soundtrack of the morning" for Seattle radio audiences, died early Thursday. He was 70.
Nelson, who had been recently diagnosed with lung cancer, hosted the morning show on KOMO-AM/1000 from the 1960s to his retirement in 1997 with a warm, friendly, upbeat but never frenetic approach that drew in generations of listeners.
"There were years when he had 10 percent of the radio audience," a remarkable share in a crowded radio market, said Gina Tuttle, who was part of Nelson's morning team at KOMO.

"Larry had a way of communicating one-on-one the way a lot of radio people today don't," added J.J. Hemingway, a Spokane radio announcer whose father, he said, gave Nelson his first job at KFKF-AM in Bellevue.
What Nelson meant to listeners is evident on a Web site, larrybnelson.com, set up for radio-industry colleagues and fans to recount their memories and appreciations of his career and personality.
"It's kind of nice to see that in a day and age of get-attention-type jocks," said Jeff Nelson, Larry's son and himself a radio host in Oregon. "He was never the type to do that."
Nelson's on-air warmth wasn't an act, Hemingway added. "He was just the same off the air as he was on."
Tuttle, who is now operations director for Metro Networks (which provides traffic and news reports to local stations) in Seattle, says Nelson never fully adjusted to the hours required of a morning radio host. But, "When the microphone was hot, he was there. He'd come to life. He fed off the audience."
In the 1990s, when AM radio stations such as KOMO were trying to figure out how to adjust their formats to the defection of music to the FM band, Tuttle was added to the "KOMO Breakfast Table" as part of a blend of news, traffic, sports, weather and conversation. The change could have been jarring to someone used to running his own show, Tuttle says. Instead, "He was the most incredibly generous man I can possibly imagine," she said. "If listeners had felt he wasn't happy, they never would have accepted me. He welcomed me in, showed me the ropes and shared his audience with me."
He hosted the popular on-air Husky tailgate parties when KOMO was the broadcast rights holder for football. "Those were things of beauty," Jeff Nelson said.
Nelson was also credited with an occasionally devilish sense of humor. Suspecting that other stations were listening in and stealing their traffic reports, Nelson and traffic-plane pilot Ted Garlatz Sr. concocted a story about a traffic-snarling truck accident on the state Route 520 bridge that was aired only on their two-way radios. Other stations took the bait and reported it as fact.
Up to the last, son Jeff said, his father was providing him with material for his show. "Some of the jokes were delightfully inappropriate," he said. "I'm still trying to get a handle of how to tell them on the air."
His father's humor was never mean or cutting, he added -- except, perhaps, the jokes about Norwegians (Nelson was Swedish).
But he also had lots of serious advice for the many he mentored in the radio business. That included not being sloppy with pronunciation: "Use your language as a good example for those listening."
Nelson was a native of the area, growing up just off Avondale Road in Redmond, Jeff Nelson said.
"He always wanted to get into the music business; he idolized Elvis," his son said. "He always wanted to form his own group," and for a short time did, even going so far as to set up a small record company.
Eventually Nelson enrolled in broadcasting school and got a job at KFKF, the Kemper Freeman-owned station at Bellevue Square.
Then he got the call from KOMO; he started on nights, and when one day the morning guy didn't show up, "my dad filled in for 30 years," Jeff Nelson said.
Survivors include Nelson's wife, Gina, and five sons. Arrangements for a public memorial service are pending.

POTHOLES on a street which was only half resurfaced will now be filled in — after a U-turn by authorities.
Only one side of Boscow Road in Little Lever was asphalted over by United Utilities following work to rebuild Wilson's Bridge, which saw wagons travelling up and down the street during the nine-month project.
The resurfacing was done as part of an agreement UU made with Bolton Council to leave the road "in the same state they found it" when the £1.8million Wilson's Bridge redevelopment scheme started last year.
But this led to fury from residents who complained that workmen had only done "half a job" by failing to resurface the side of the road which contains cracks and potholes.
Now, after revisiting the site, UU has agreed to repair some of the road's remaining potholes.
A council spokesman said: "On further site inspection, United Utilities have agreed to repair some of the remaining potholes.
"If resurfacing work by United Utilities had been completed across the entire width of the road, the homes would have been at risk of surface water flooding due to the raised level of the highway and insufficient drainage."
A United Utilities spokesman said: "After doing another site survey we have asked our contractor to repair some extra localised areas of pre-existing carriageway damage which are next to the reinstatement we have already done."
Elaine Ingham, aged 64, said: "Filling in the potholes will benefit everybody but I don't think that's adequate.
"From my point of view, it won't solve the problem of my driveway becoming a pool of water.
"The side of the road closest to our houses needs to be resurfaced."
Peter Ingham, aged 67, said: "If they are just going to fill in the potholes as and when, then it's a waste of money.
"It will help drivers but the same problems will keep coming back when it rains.
"The problem with resurfacing the whole road is there's no drainage for the water.
"Putting a small kerb in would probably make that easier."
Lesley Riley added: "If they're filling in the potholes, that's fine, but it's really ridiculous that they only did half a job.
"The whole road needs doing."

Hot on the heels of his recent exhibition of illustrations of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood at National Museum Cardiff – and now on show at Oriel y Parc in St Davids – Sir Peter Blake's work is in the Welsh capital once again.
The exhibition at Fountain Fine Art, which brings together 10 artists who defined the British visual arts scene in the late 20th century, includes prints from Blake's 1991 Alphabet series.
These are classic Blake screen-prints, which embody his love of typography, his unabashed sense of nostalgia and his fascination with popular culture.
Blake, 82, who famously produced the iconic album cover for the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, is seen as a founder of the Pop Art movement, having first embraced popular iconography in his student days at the Royal College of Art.
For him, this was a natural response to his working class background.
"My work tended to be autobiographical, so when I became a painter – having started out studying graphic design – my work was about the about the things that I did: things like going to see professional wrestling, visiting fairgrounds, going to the cinema.
"Out of that developed my branch of Pop Art – and then I became interested in signage too. I didn't set out to make Pop Art – it's just that my area of interest was mainly popular culture."
In contrast to his fellow Pop Artists, Blake stuck with painting for years before experimenting with printmaking. His resistance was largely due to what he saw as his colleagues' mercenary approach to mass production.
"In the '60s I had the feeling that some of my contemporaries were simply making prints as a method of income, and I was far more moral in those days. I decided I didn't just want to make prints for money, I wanted to make prints if I was interested to make prints."
Later on, he developed a genuine interest in printmaking and started to see the appeal of making his work more widely available.
Since then he has made a significant number of prints, experimenting with some of the most cutting edge technological developments available, from lenticular printing to 3D printing.
"I've always tried to push the boundaries of where print is at any point," he says, adding that he achieves this by working with people with the relevant technical expertise.
"I can't operate the computer and I didn't want to get caught up in the trap of making computer art. I'm still basically a painter, but the computer is a tool like the pencil is a tool."
It's ironic that Blake – who has helped revolutionise the art world – also exhibits a sense of nostalgia in much of his work. From a picture of Elvis to images of old Valentine's cards, the work on show in Fountain Fine Art harks back to his younger years.
"It used to be that one was accused of nostalgia as if it was a bad thing. I think nostalgia only means looking back and in that sense it's very much part of my way of working - but it's not about pretty Victorian dresses and things like that."
He adds that his Alphabet series (of which there are two) are also about his fascination with facts and his pleasure in the restrictions that the 26 letters of the alphabet impose on him as an artist.
Now in his 80s, Blake remains as prolific as ever, but the show at Fountain Fine Art gives the opportunity to see some true vintage Blake work. The exhibition was directly inspired by the success of Blake's Dylan Thomas show.
"It was clear to me, from the huge popularity of that exhibition, that there is a hunger for people in Wales to see work by living pioneers of the art world," says Fountain Fine Art's owner, Richard Braine.
"Sir Peter Blake was so influential in defining pop art in Britain that it earned him a knighthood, so it's important that his work is celebrated with exhibitions in public museums. What many may not believe, is that some of his defining work is within the reach of many of those who chose to buy art."
This got Braine thinking about hosting an exhibition of work from some of the 20th century's leading artists in Britain. For this show he has brought together 30 signed lithographs, etchings, screen prints and woodcuts from 10 artists that forged the modernist and pop art movements in Britain.
Included in the show are works by Patrick Caulfield, David Hockney, Henry Moore, John Nash and Graham Sutherland.
"Much of the work we have for sale is seen as so important that other editions from the printmaking process are also held in major public collections like The British Museum, The Tate Gallery and The British Council for the Visual Arts," he says.
"This is great opportunity for people to not only see work like this without having to travel to London, but also to buy and own themselves."
The exhibition runs at Fountain Fine Art, Morgan Arcade, Cardiff, from August 2 to 23

Bye-bye Kitty; here come the Mr. Men
TOKYO -- Shares of Sanrio, the Hello Kitty company, in September reached 6,270 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, up 800% from four years earlier. The driving force was, of course, that darn cat, which is licensed in more than 100 countries.
But Hello Kitty turns 40 years this year, an age at which she might have to start looking over her shoulder. If she does, she will see Sanrio's shareholders are no longer entranced by her charms. Sanrio closed Monday trading at 4,165, down more than 30% from its September high.
Sluggish sales in the company's North America operations are drawing a lot of market attention. The North American business, whose main revenue source is Hello Kitty licensing, accounts for 40% of Sanrio's overall operating profit. The division's operating profit for the September-March period will likely rise a puny 1% on the year, to 4.4 billion yen ($42.58 million). Even on an annual basis, the figure is expected to rise to only 10%, compared with the 50% jump it took the previous fiscal year.
Sanrio was expecting its gushing North American revenue stream to slow. Once it moved into major retail chains like Wal-Mart and Target of the U.S. -- and mined the low-end of the market -- it had few potential licensees left in its appointment book.
Meanwhile, sales at Sanrio's European operations, the licensor's second largest profit generator, have also been subdued; profit is expected to grow 1% this fiscal year.
Sanrio could still license the cat to hotels and other venues, or it could increase its promotional budget in an attempt to grow its customer base.
But fearing the company's licensing business is dying out, institutional investors are placing large sell orders for the issue, according to a Japanese broker.
Perhaps investors are waiting for a new character to take advantage of existing sales channels and generate more profit.
Sanrio thinks it might have a group of candidates. Mr. Happy always has a smile on his yellow, round face. Mr. Tickle has an orange, oval face and long flexible arms. Both are popular characters from the U.K.-born "Mr. Men and Little Miss" picture books and TV cartoons. The characters are not well known in Japan but enjoy huge popularity in Europe. More than 200 million of the books have been sold in over 30 countries.
Sanrio in 2011 acquired the rights to "Mr. Men and Little Miss" from Chorion, a British media production company. This year it plans to roll out "Mr. Men and Little Miss" character goods in Japan.
The company's net cash position, excluding interest-bearing liabilities, has turned to the black, at 9.5 billion yen. Sanrio Managing Director Rehito Hatoyama, in charge of the company's licensing business, said Sanrio will spend more on character acquisition.
Sanrio is drafting a medium-term business plan that will shoot for increasing operating profit for the year ending March 2020 to more than 30 billion yen.
For now, market players are paying close attention to how Sanrio develops its "Mr. Men and Little Miss" business, which is currently generating an operating profit of only 100 million yen or so. Investors seem to be scratching their heads about whether Sanrio has a Mr. Profit on its hands.

Mitsubishi HC8000D Home Theater Projector Review
How does this Mitsubishi HC8000D compare to other 1080p home theater projectors on the market?
Mitsubishi HC8000D vs. Epson Pro Cinema 6020 UB and Home Cinema 5020 UB
Let's start by considering the HC8000D against the Epsons when they are calibrated. Note that both Epsons should produce identical pictures. Differences between those two Epson models are basically case color, warranty, and local vs online sales.
Skin tones – the Epson's are pretty darn good, but as was the case when the Epson took on the HC7900DW, Mitsubishi gets a win here. By the numbers, they calibrate similarly, but the Mitsubishi has the slight edge.
Black Levels: The Mitsubishi HC8000 may be better than the HC7900, and is really good at blacks, but the Epson is still a step up in that area of performance.
3D Picture. Both do a very nice job, with the Epson pretty clean, and the Mitsubishi even cleaner.
3D Brightness: Even with Mitsubishi's bright glasses, this is no contest. The Epson is more than twice as bright!
Brightest Mode: This favors the Epson. It can put more than double the watchable lumens on the screen, and that's a big factor in any environment, home theater or family room. When it comes to 3D, although we give the Mitsubishi a slight edge in picture, we give the Epsons a big win for 3D brightness – no comparison. The Epsons are projectors that people who love 3D and watch a fair amount, will want. The Mitsubishi in 3D is fine, but due to lack of brightness, only really viable on smaller screens.
Warranties are both great – 3 years on the Mits, 2 on the Epson, but Epson provides two years of "overnight" replacement program, a great feature (the HC5020UB). The Pro Cinema 6020UB offers three years, with 3 years of replacement, for the best of the lot.
Pricing. The online Epson HC5020UB is $2599, with 2 pair of 3D glasses. The Mitsubishi HC8000 is $2999, without glasses or emitter – so figure $99 for the emitter and $199 for 3D glasses (assuming good ones). The xPand universal 3D glasses Mitsubishi provided (with the HC7900), are heavier than the Epsons', and not quite as comfortable. The Mitsubishi proprietary glasses were slightly heavier than the Epson's but I'd say equally comfortable. Well, that's $3500 with the 2 glasses and emitter. The Epson Pro Cinema 6020UB is $3500 with 2 pair (no emitter needed, but also comes with a spare lamp, and ceiling mount for the price).
Mitsubishi HC8000D vs. Sony VPL-HW50ES
Skin tones. I'd love to see these two side by side, should be really close. Both are excellent.
The Sony HW50ES is the powerhouse of the two. Roughly 1000 lumens calibrated vs. 465 for the Mits. Comparing brightest modes is closer, but not much. The Sony is just much brighter.
Placement: The Sony has more zoom range, and full vertical and horizontal lens shift, vs. the HC8000's vertical only.
Black levels are won by Sony, which rivals the Epsons. The HC8000 is really good but not quite that good.
3D viewing: No contest. Got to go with the Sony for producing a brighter image in 3D. The DLP Mitsubishi will be cleaner (no official DLP crosstalk), but the Sony is close enough to crush.
Sharpness: The Sony has that great dyanmic detail enhancement that adds apparent sharpness to the image. By comparison, the HC8000 starts with single chip DLP – and an inherently sharper image before fancy processing. Ultimately the Sony can appear sharper.
The Sony is offically $1000 more at $3999, but that does include two pair of glasses and emitter, so that puts the Sony at $500 more.
Both have a three year warranty, so no advantage there.
Overall, most should go with the Sony. Again, though, the Mitsubishi is competitive in environments where you don't need the Sony's brightness.
HC8000D vs. Sharp XV-Z30000
Ah, DLP vs. DLP. I wish I had both at the same time, or even close to the same time. These two are pretty similar in several ways, starting with both being nice sharp DLP projectors. Neither is especially bright either. Street pricing probably slightly favors the Sharp as it's more available online. It sells well below its high list price of $4999 with two pair of glasses. A quick scan of the web seems to find prices in the low $3000s, up to about $3500, so that makes it a couple hundred less with 3D glasses.
While the Sharp isn't particularly bright, it is consistantly brighter than the HC8000D. Calibrated it's about 20% brighter at 532 lumens. In comparing "brightest" modes after Mike's quick-cal, it's the Sharp with an even bigger advantage; 1018 lumens vs. The Mitsubishi's 751 lumens.
That really comes in handy for 3D viewing. Even if the Sharp still didn't have enough 3D brightness for watching 3D sports the way I like to light the room with friends over, it was still better.
If you are hankering for a 2.35:1 wide screen, then it's all Sharp XV-Z30000 as it has motorized lens features and lens memory capability.
Calibration wise, we didn't do a CMS calibration of individual colors. The Mitsubishi is more accurate, but doing the full calibration on the Sharp may bring parity. As it was, the Sharp is just a little off. The Mits is great.
Not just lens memory, but overall placement flexibility is a strength of the Sharp.
The HC8000D likely has a small advantage at blacks, but I really mean small. Both have dual irises.
Tough call, they even both have 3 year warranties. The bigger the screen, the more you should favor the Sharp.

Millwall enjoyed the Lions share of the chances and Kevin Muscat saw an effort cleared off the line by John McGreal.
Peter Sweeney hit the post and Marvin Elliott and Muscat put efforts over after being teed up by Dennis Wise in his last game as Millwall manager.
"I've loved my time with Millwall, I've found the fans brilliant.
"People told me the supporters were hard work here but they've been magnificent to me.
"This season has exceeded all expectation, the lads are happy with what we have achieved over the last couple of years."
"It was a good performance and a decent day, Millwall is a very difficult place to come and get a result.
"But we could have ended up in 11th which would have looked even nicer over the summer had our penalty gone in."

text: Many people are thinking of going "green" by using products and practices that are environmentally safe or at least kinder to the environment. There is no national standard for what is "green" and what is not--so, what is meant by manufacturers who market their products as "natural?" One company--Clorox, whose name is practically synonymous with bleach--has set its own standards for its Green Works products, making them from 99% natural materials such as coconut, lemon, and corn. How well do natural cleaners work? Here are unscientific assessments on four of the Clorox products.

Douglin Garter Heel Sock
This is a basic sock pattern given a slight twist with a slim garter stitch top, heel flap and toe section. The embroidery worked in a plain coloured yarn adds a feminine touch but could easily be omitted if working the larger size for a man.
Pattern instructions are given for three sizes:
Small size to fit 19 cm ( 7 ½ in ) foot circumference
Medium size to fit 21 cm ( approx 8 in ) foot circumference
Large size to fit 23 cm foot circumference,
All sizes 20 cm long from cast on to base of heel, though this and foot length can be adjusted as required
This pattern is from my Collection One book of accessories which is available either as an e-book here or in printed form here

This may or may not be the most difficult hall of fame in pro sports in which to gain entry, but it is easily the most debated. The reasons:
1) The transparency of the voting, with Baseball Writers Association of America members held accountable for their selections.
2) The incredible value and volume of statistics able to be broken down and compared against other eras with convincing arguments pro and con, by the numbers.
In terms of Alomar's candidacy, as a middle infielder, the ex-Jays star (1991-95) deserves to be enshrined on his first ballot, despite the unfortunate spitting incident with umpire John Hirschbeck that marred his post-Jays career. He apologized and he and Hirschbeck are now friends. It says here that if Ryne Sandberg was a first-ballot hall of famer, then so is Alomar.
When I first saw Alomar play defence for the Padres, I couldn't believe what I was watching. The way he threw himself at grounders and made flawless, diving plays on balls was uncanny. Then when he came to the artificial surface at SkyDome, he reinvented the position and the way it was played on turf. Add to that his rare combination of extra-base power, base-stealing ability and clutch hitting and you don't even have to look at statistical comparisons with others.
As for the Hawk, I have often written and blogged about his hall-of-fame attributes that don't even show up on the stat sheet and that are appreciated only by those that have played with him or that watched him strap it on and tape it up every painful day for nine years in his prime like I did in Montreal. Only then can one appreciate the intangibles he brings to the Cooperstown banquet.
Of all the candidates, Dawson's is a case of fringe statistics being eclipsed by the total package. If it was purely a player vote, Hawk would already be in. He had that much respect within any clubhouse he occupied. Injuries hampered his career, but never stopped him from playing. Despite horrible knee problems and the parking lot outfield at Olympic Stadium, he is one of three players with 400 career homers and 300 steals. He has since had one knee replaced and the other is on the way.
In the Hall's guidelines, Rule 5 reads: Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.
In addition to Alomar and Dawson, the ballot I handed in as an eligible 10-year member of the BBWAA included right-handers Bert Blyleven and Jack Morris; shortstop Barry Larkin and outfielder Tim Raines.
Blyleven's is an interesting case. I have never voted for him before, but have been convinced in recent years by logical arguments submitted by his supporters. The numbers he posted in innings, complete games and strikeouts may never be matched again in the game's changing dynamics.
Larkin in his prime, combined speed and power, highlighted by a 30-30 season (homers and steals) in '96, following up on an MVP campaign in '95. He also is a hall-of-fame person.
Morris is a throwback to the kind of fierce competitor that populated the game in the '60s and early '70s. He likely won't earn a spot at Cooperstown, having never garnered more than 44 per cent of the ballots. Raines' problems with cocaine as a 22-year-old are well-documented, but he overcame them to forge a terrific career as a switch-hitting left fielder and leadoff man.
I left great players like Edgar Martinez, Fred McGriff, Mark McGwire, Lee Smith and Alan Trammell off my ballot. Let the debates begin. Hey, nobody ever said it was easy.

It was very powerful and actually left me speechless (anyone who knows me, knows that doesn't happen a lot ;-))
One of his points was that there is a protein in our body called: Laminin. The function of laminin is to hold us together. Basically it is the glue that keeps us help in one piece!
This is what the structure of Laminin looks like:
Doesn't that give you the chills?!?
God is holding us together, no matter what you're going through He's right there showing off even in your protein cells.

Oh what a night
But the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards were the occasion of a great Friday night, and we're lucky nobody invited the fire department as the Boston Athenaeum was seriously overbooked with our guests. The evening began with cider and cupcakes (the new brie, I think) for the honorees and their friends and publishers; Picture Book winner Lois Ehlert was there surprised with a group of friends from Milwaukee who flew in for the event. Fiction winner Kate DiCamillo greeted me with a peace sign; not quite sure what this meant, I later hastened to inform her that, discussions on this blog notwithstanding, I liked Edward Tulane. The event proper began with a gracious welcome by Athenaeum trustee Alice De Lana, who, I discovered, had taught high school English to my college friend Ali Mauran at Miss Porter's. That's right: ten years ago.
The winners' speeches were nicely variegated, and I like the way the shorter remarks from the Honor Book recipients punctuate the proceedings. Only Sandra Markle and Allan Marks, from New Zealand and England, respectively, could not attend; the late Faith McNulty was represented by her niece Katherine Keiffer, who beautifully recalled her aunt's writing and passions. Lois Ehlert was warm and generous; Stephen Kellogg was fast and funny (we're hoping to put some video clips on the website next week; his speech is one you have to see) and Kate DiCamillo was deep and eloquent to the point that my Richard is completely ready to run away with her.
I've been trying to upload some photos but Blogger doesn't seem to like them. I'll try again later.

Grace VS Instant Karma: The Main Event! In this corner, wearing a world of envy-green coincidences and the patience of a gnat, Instant Karma. In this corner, wearing a world of green & blue and a halo of forgiveness, Grace! For most, Grace or Instant Karma are usually an afterthought until conflict shows up like Judas with a pocket full of waves of regret and joy, while puckering his lips of betrayal. When asking, "Where did it all go wrong," what's your first instinct, to blame your lot in life on ONE BAD MOFO of a decision, or to accept the pathway that you're on has already been predetermined, that you really have no say, and move forward? For me, Grace is more than a name that takes the blame and covers the shame. She has ears that can handle my screams of disgust about my trivial complaints, like "WTF is U2 doing?" Eyes that are willing to look past all my imperfections. A nose that can withstand the stench of all my horrific decisions. A heart that forgives and a mind that forgets. Grace is available 24/7 for both known and unknown callers. The problem is that sometimes we lose her number and are too stupid or stubborn to call for operator assistance. While I've been looking for face I had before the world was made, Grace already had my portrait sketched out with colors that all bled into one ruggedly handsome Mofo. It's amazing. Grace finds beauty in everything. Then comes along Instant Karma.
Instant Karma's gonna get you, unless of course it's stuck in traffic & then you'll have to wait. What gets Instant Karma when Instant Karma wrongs somebody? Can it get itself? Instant Karma loves to spit in Grace's eye every chance it gets. Who hasn't reveled in the misery of someone that has wronged you? It's human nature, right? This fact shows the extreme limitation of Instant Karma, it's "Human nature." No loss or hurt is too small to the Instant Karma lovers. A paper cut is worthy of A Celebration, popping a bottle of Cristal and Rejoicing over the ones running scared in the valley below Grace. A moment of surrender is a lifetime to an Instant Karma lover, they need their fix now. Instant Karma believers are always hatching some plot & scheming some scheme, hoping you will live the rest of your Bad life in dislocation, isolation & separation. The problem is that the joy Instant Karma believers feel is as short lived as it takes The Edge to comb his hair. Once the initial joy of an Instant Karma lover subsides, then what? Emptiness, that's what! They feel like Paul McGuiness 5 minutes after finishing a 10 course meal, unfulfilled and faint. So, Instant Karma lovers, stop wasting your time hoping for the worse and start looking towards Grace. I will say a prayer for the Instant Karma lovers & hope Grace answers it. If not, I hope Instant Karma rears its ugly head and they get squashed crossing the tracks. 😉

One sure way to irritate leftist historian Gabriel Kolko was to mistake him for a libertarian. From his office at Toronto's York University, the American-born professor sent the libertarian monthly magazine Reason a strongly worded letter in 1973 when its editors were assembling a list of university courses that might be of interest to students with libertarian leanings:
"Under no circumstances," he wrote, "should I be listed in your Registry, or thought to be in any manner a supporter of your exotic political position. If anything proves my thesis that American conservative ideology is more a question of intelligence than politics, it has been the persistent use of my works to buttress your position.
"As I made clear often and candidly to many so-called libertarians," he went on to say, "I have been a socialist and against capitalism all of my life, my works are attacks on that system, and I have no common area of sympathy with the quaint irrelevancy called 'free market' economics. There has never been such a system in historical reality, and if it ever comes into being you can count on me to favor its abolition."
Prof. Kolko, revisionist historian, author, university professor and well-known critic of U.S. domestic and foreign policy in the 20th century, died on May 19 at the age of 81, at his home in Amsterdam. He was suffering from a degenerative neurological disorder and chose euthanasia, according to his friend and former student Stan Vittoz.
A controversial chapter began for Prof. Kolko in the early 1960s, when he joined the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was active in the Committee to End the War in Vietnam (CEWV). At the time, the university's Institute for Co-operative Research (ICR) was engaged in chemical and biological warfare research on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense. Project Spice Rack and Project Summit ran for a decade in secret until a Trotskyist undergraduate, Robin Maisel, who also happened to work at the campus bookstore, noticed in the fall of 1965 books on order by the ICR on Vietnamese politics and rice crop diseases. Prof. Kolko had had his own suspicions, he explained years later to his York University colleague Professor Marc Egnal.
Prof. Kolko's Penn office was across from the nondescript ICR and he could see staff coming and going. Upon learning of the ICR's curious book orders from Mr. Maisel, the CEWV sent an open letter to Penn's university president, Gaylord Harnwell, demanding an immediate end to the germ warfare research. When days passed with no reply, Prof. Kolko confronted him. Dr. Harnwell confirmed the existence of the projects, but defended the research on the grounds of academic freedom and national interest. So Prof. Kolko and the CEWV brought the issue to the attention of local, national and international media, sending materials about the research to Ramparts magazine and Viet-Report, organizing teach-ins and campus groups that opposed Vietnam-related research. Campus-wide factions opened up, chaos ensued, but support shifted in favour of the administration. Penn froze Prof. Kolko's salary and took away his faculty privileges, compelling him to leave.
After a brief stop at SUNY-Buffalo, he was lured to Canada by York University in 1970. Prof. Kolko was invited to teach history, accepted a professorship and bought a house, only to be denied a visa when border officials decided his presence in Canada would not be in the "national interest." He successfully appealed and ended up teaching at York until his retirement. "I am … a Canadian citizen," he wrote to the historian John Saywell, who was dean of arts in 1970 and later wrote a history of York University, "and do not have a U.S. passport. I am glad not to be a U.S. subject."
Gabriel Kolko was born Aug. 17, 1932, in Paterson, N.J. His parents, Philip and Lillian, were both schoolteachers. They were "instrumental in my choice of interests," he wrote, "and their intellectual curiosity and freedom were crucial in the way I was raised."
He studied American social and economic history at Kent State University and the University of Wisconsin before earning his PhD at Harvard in 1962. During his studies, he was involved in the Student League for Industrial Democracy, a fledgling socialist activist group that sponsored lectures, raised funds for striking workers, walked picket lines, protested segregation and maintained a presence at several campuses.
In his academic work, Prof. Kolko established a reputation for seeing things differently. His early books, The Triumph of Conservatism (1963) and Railroads and Regulation (1965), revised the long-standing liberal consensus that the first two decades of the 20th century (known as the Progressive Era) was a time when government regulators reined in big business. Actually, business steered government, argued Prof. Kolko, not the other way around; it made and implemented regulations of its own in order to contain competition, effectively sheltering itself from the unpredictability of the free market. He argued that elite business interests controlled the so-called free market. Progressive Era reforms were, therefore, not the work of "the people," but rather the work of the government in partnership with corporations. This policy of "corporate control of the liberal agenda," as Prof. Kolko described it, shaped American social, economic and political life from the Progressive Era through to the Cold War and beyond.Report Typo/Error

DIY loudspeaker vs. factory built loudspeaker
Can a good DIY loudspeaker compete with a factory built speaker when it comes to sound quality? I am tempted to think so, but others say that the DIY enthusiast can never build a speaker as good as a professional could.
For example take a look at the Wilson Watt/Puppy VI. The drivers used are available on the DIY market. Why would we or would we not be able to build a comparable speaker in terms of sound quality?
Another question comes to mind. Are custom made drivers, ordered by loudspeaker system companies from known loudspeaker driver companies, of a higher quality than the ones those companies sell on the DIY market? Also, are self-designed en built loudspeaker drivers from companies like B&W (for example for their top of the range Nautilus 800) better than the ones available to us, DIYers?
Of course DIY can build as "good" a speaker as any corporation. Read Siegfred Linkwitz website. Moreover, DIY can get much better quality-per-dollar than factory-built, leaning on the collective knowledge gained from the DIY community.
Wilson, Revel, Wisdom, Genesis.....their speakers operate under the same physics as anyone elses. Do they have special drivers...yes, sometimes. Is that all it takes to set them apart from what an engineering and attentive hobbiest can pull together? No.
Inside the most hallowed design group their is a guy (or gal) who has a job running a test bench and listening to results. Those same people exist in the DIY community. There are others who are materials experts. They exist in the DIY community as well. Others are mathmeticians. And, so on.
Besides, no matter what you build or buy....somewhere, someone will have a "better" speaker. Its the nature of the beast.
Ribbon Project
the difference with diy and factory built speakers are the collective goal of the design group.
sure, with diy, you have thousands of diy'ers who are bent on building the perfect loudspeaker and the same can be said about the knowledge available in the community.
But, the one thing the average diy'er can't compete with is the shear prowess of the bigger companies.
They have years of research and technical background. They have means of quicker and more accurate results. A group of individuals working under the same guidelines and goals.
Now I agree that there are some diy projects out there that can compete with the best of the best (though it wouldn't far off to say that the best of the best would a dedicated enthusiast with ALOT of money and time ie: LR) its hard to imagine that any diy would have the time and money to compete on such a broad level that the big guys do.
Keep in mind, however, that without diy there wouldn't a market and a demand for the big guys to try and monopolise. And the biggest reason for diy are for the reasons above;
cost, individualistic design and goals along with an end product that is truly unique in its performance and appeal.
Hi there are a few threads with the DIY vs commercial line of talk that you *should* search for before asking the same question.
The "others [who] say that DIY enthusiast can never build a speaker as good as a professional could" are simple naiive in my book, and too stubborn to accept that something could compete with speakers costing 5k or 20k or whatever at a fraction of the price. Perhaps they have bought a pair and can't bare the thought.
You're limited only by you're ability to research, your patience, and your wallet size in DIY (oh, and the patience of your spouse). In commercial designs they have to deal with many worldly compromises - and making a profit is the biggest of them all usually. The one's that compromise less require you to remortgage your property. And then all you've really bought is the bragging rights amongst other magazine readers.
Actually, I agree with you. But still I have my doubts if a DIY'er could build a speaker as good as say the B&W Nautilus 800, on which a full team of technicians and designers has worked for a long time. Which DIY speaker do you think could compete with this kind of speaker?
this was a reply to gravison. the other two were posted in the mean time.
I'm not sure how you would define better. From what I've been reading recently I would probably consider controled directivity better, which is almost the opposite of the Nautilus. I'm really impressed by the design concepts that Amphion (www.amphion.fi) use.
Anyway, for something that is constructed like the Nautilus see the link below.
Sorry, but I don't buy the idea that commercial systems are automatically superior. They are interested in making money -fair play, and I'm not knocking that, don't get me wrong, but not much of the price paid goes into the materials in the speaker. Nor do I buy into the notion that they are necessarily 'better' at designing than some of the gentlemen here. I have a pair of Martin King's ML TQWTs with Fostex FE167E full-range drivers that measue better, and sound better than anything available commercially under £1000 that I've seen or run across. Total cost of the build: £300. I also have a pair of Terry Cain design rear-loaded corner horns for when I want horn-sort of sound, with FF165K full-range units -cost me the same to build. I'm not aware of any commercial horns even near that price, and I can't think of many commercial horns that can deliver full 30Hz energy in-room either. But these can.
The new Krell speakers are a classic case in point: $11,000 worth, but you can buy the same drivers for around $2,000, the crossover components for around $1,000 (tops). And the cabinet materials are unlikely to run to much more than $500-$1,000 depending upon the level of finish you apply. What is more important though is that by going DIY, you get to tailor the response of your speakers to suit your own music, and your own room. When Martin's newworksheets are released, you'll even to a significant extent be able to design a speaker specifically for your room from scratch. And that's not something many commercials will offer!
..and you can call it unique too ;) As Scott has said, it's fair game than manufacturers want to make money, the name of the game in life, and I also think you can put what ever price tag you think it sufficient for the R&D on a commercial design. But by no stretch of [my] imagination does it mean that you can't DIY better.
Also remember there are different states of DIY. Make the cab yourself, to getting a joinery to do it for you based on your specs, etc etc. You can have drivers custom made or modified as some manufacturers do, or use superfluous materials to impress (ahem Corian) etc etc.
The two advantages of going commercial for me are, a) resale value, and b) no research/building effort required. Sound quality (whatever that is) doesn't come into it.
Things talk for themselves....why you do not "comparate" the 800 Nautilus with some DIY speakers? ;)
This is the best way to achieve a good result for a seryous DIY lovers.
IMHO, anyway ,the 800-801-802 are really overextimated.
Inertial, I would love to do a comparison with some top of the bill DIY speakers and a Nautilus 800. However, how on earth am i going to get a pair of either in my place to do it?:angel: I've heard both the 801 and the 802 and thought they sounded really good. Haven't heard the 800's tho.
The best DIY speakers i've heard also sounded amazing, but i can't say which sounded better, for i have not done a direct, A-B comparison.

What Can "Goals On Track" Do For You?
I would like to call "Goals On Track" one of the most complete goal setting programs available on the Internet that allows you to do everything you need to do from setting up your goals, to tracking your progress intermittently, to making sure you are on track and eventually accomplish them.
Some of the key features that can be found on this program (as I noted when I tried out the program) include (do note that this list is not exhaustive):
Pros & Cons About The "Goals On Track" Program
After having looked at what the "Goals On Track" program can do for us, let us, in this section, look at some of the pros and cons about this program (as I see them, and accurate at this point in time).
First, let me talk about the plus points about the program…
One of the biggest plus points I like about this program is the fact that there's no installation whatsoever required. All that's needed is a computer (or a smartphone or tablet PC) with an Internet connection. Hence, you can access this program anywhere, anytime.
Another plus point I have noted about this program is that, you can create multiple goals (as well as sub-goals), along with the tasks required (right down to what's required to be done every single day), and I find this to be very useful, because I can make a list of what's required to be done each and every single day (as I progress toward my ultimate goals).
Furthermore, the fact that I am able to find out, at any point in time, how close I am toward accomplishing my goal, keeps me motivated and going.
So much on the plus points about the "Goals On Track" program. Now for the negatives.
This program can be made better, in my personal opinion, if the interface could be customized based on personal preferences (as we're going to use this program everyday to keep track of our progress).
Also, I feel that this program could be made even better if there are apps designed for the smartphones (for both the iPhone as well as Android phones).
Click Here To Get Instant Access Into The "Goals On Track" Program At A Special One-Time Only Discounted Price Today... Limited Time Only!
Reviews By Customers Of The "Goals On Track" Program
Don't just take my word for it. In this section, you'll find reviews that are posted by some of the customers who have bought (and used) the "Goals On Track" program:
"I am currently work with GoalsOnTrack on a daily basis. I like new GUI and the overall improvements of the software very much."
- Andre C.
"Nice product ... I truly think this goal tracker is going to help me move forward. I especially like the daily prompt of the progress/task e-mail."
- Richard P.
"I really like what you guys have done, I have accomplished more things with a visual progress/process that really keeps me in line with what i decide to develop with my life. This software has had a profound statement in guiding me to accomplish Any Dream in my life!"
- Kendol M.
My Final Verdict
As I've mentioned time and time again, while setting goals is important, taking massive amounts of action to accomplish it is even more important.
And with the "Goals On Track" program, you will be able to lay down all your goals, the tasks required, as well as what you need to do on a daily basis to work toward accomplishing all the goals that you have set for yourself.
What's more, there's even a "progress tracker" available for you to be able to, at any point in time, check on your overall progress, which I find very ideal.
Make the new year a year to remember, where, for the first time in your life, you manage to successfully accomplish all the goals you've set for yourself... With the help of "Goals On Track" program. Click here to get instant access now!

A week ago Friday I ran the 5K Run for Kids in downtown Williamsport. This takes place at 6 pm on First Friday, when all the local shops in town set up sidewalk sales, there are a few bands set up in the streets, and galleries have special showings. It's a neat atmosphere and the money raised go to local kids charities. We have an influx of crime in our poorer neighborhoods, and some of these charities do great after-school programs that I love to support.
For whatever reason, I never do well at this race. Just about all my running friends do this one which puts pressure on me to do well and that doesn't seem to work. My DH was coming down to watch. A 6 pm race means I have to work super hard that day to be able to get home, chill out and change in time to make it back downtown in time. The race follows a road that has a bit of camber *right word or spelling, I have no idea*- downward side slope so water drains away. All these factors usually mean I'm happy to finish under 30 min. I was honestly more looking forward to dinner afterwards than the race itself.
Our group met up and cheered the little ones on in the kids fun run, then we started lining up. I have some speedy friends, so I said good luck as they lined up front and headed back. I tucked in behind one of my BFF's and off we went. She is a 23-24 min racer on a good day, so I figured I'd use her to get through the masses. Once we got out of the walkers/strollers *seriously, line up in back!* I looked up to gauge where we were. Half a mile in my friend was just ahead of me. Nice. I decided to see how long I could hang. At this point, I really don't know what my ideal pace is for a 5k, I really just run by feel and if that is fast than good for me and I hope I don't puke all over someone. At around 1.25, my buddy was pulling away. I expected this and knew I was still cruising but it was going to be on my own for now. After the half way point I tucked in behind a lady who looked a bit older than me but who had a very steady pace. I followed a full mile.
At this point my little GPS is telling me I'm doing pretty darn good- maybe not a PR but close. As we came around the corner I knew my DH and buddies were watching and cheering I figured I'd give them a show. I kicked it up a notch and decided to pass my second half rabbit. I'm sure I looked ridiculous giving it all I had but I passed her and it was appreciated by the masses. 26:5 something. PR was Labor Day race a year ago with a 26:49. Not too shabby considering my 5K's from this spring were 28:42 and 28:41. I do believe I'm getting my legs back!
Off to the awards presentations- many friends earned some bling, including my friends daughter who got first overall female. The overall male was a local boy who is a sophmore in HS who ran a 15:xx. He's got a future for sure!
We finished the night out with reservations for 18 at a local restaurant. I'd had the reservation for days, not like they didn't know we were coming. We waited an hour and a half for food. We were a bunch of cranky and hungry runners by this point for sure! Then to add to it they refused to split our check up. At least they comp'd some drinks.
I followed the race up with my second highest milage week so far this year, including a 3 day in a row streak. It's been over a year since I've done that due to cranky shins. Everything feels great though, so I gave it a shot. So far so good!
Next up- a 5K on June 29th. I have my pick of two different ones. A very, very hilly one that I have been dying to try, or a flat one close to home in which you get free tickets to a minor league base ball game for running. Hmmm....

Curacao Cave Tour Excursion Reviews
Neat place, not too much effort needed apart from climbing the 40+ stairs to the top. Hot inside, andnot good for people with claustraphobia or who can become overheated easily.
Caves & City Center, CU85. We started off with a short bus ride to the Hato Caves close to the airport. These caves are above sea level in the hills, so, it's hot and humid inside. The areas open to the public is not very extensive and the whole tour will last about 35 minutes, there is some climbing, but the whole tour is on paved paths. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.
The second part of the excursion was a guided city center walking tour. Our tour guide was articulate and well informed. Being this was on a national holiday and most places were closed, our tour lasted about an hour and ended at the Swinging bridge just outside of the cruise ship terminal.
One of the places the local taxi driver took us was to the caves. My husband took that tour with another couple while the rest of us went to a have some refreshments. My husband said it was extremely humid in the caves and it was a good thing I decided not to go.
The caves were interesting, but as with the rest of the tour, they rush everyone through so you can't enjoy what you are seeing. I am sure it is boring to a tour guide that sees it every day, but I have never been and would like a few minutes to look at all the formations.
This also was an interesting tour but unfortunately you can't take many pictures in the caves. The walk through the park around it was lovely with Iguanas, Snails & lovely flora. We also did a walk around the Town where I finally got to see the Oldest Synagogue in the Western Hemisphere but was unwilling to part with $10 US to see inside. The walkway back to the ship was great with nice shops & also a place where one could access free wifi. I really enjoyed Curacao this time.
Hato caves are a nice place to take a tour. The guides lead you down into the caves, giving a detailed history. Lots of bats visible(fruit bats)The climb up (yes up!) can be quite hard on thos with limited moblity a few had to turn back.
City tour was nice showing you all the Dutch style buildings painted in bright colors.Lots of shops to explore.
Our third stop was Curacao. We took the Discover Curacao Island Tour. We loved Curacao! The bad part was that we docked at 2pm (3pm local time) so by the time we returned from our tour it was getting dark and many of the shops closed. The tour was nice, nothing spectacular. Curacao is on our list of places that we will visit again.
The specialty guide at the cave took over and was informative

I personally think all this hassle over the Gainesville High valedictorian could have been avoided by waiting until the last two weeks of school. Who knows what can happen in three months? What was the rush? The school folks in charge of this should have waited.
Cody Stephens' letter was very elegant, and I am sure there was no problem between the two boys. How nice it would have been if Mama had stayed out of it.
