Cresselly (113 for 5) beat Carew (110-9) by 5 wickets
A DISCIPLINED display with bat and ball saw Cresselly ease to a derby victory against old rivals Carew.
Home skipper Phil Williams won the toss and elected to field – and his bowlers did not let him down as they restricted the visitors to 23-5 early on.
Indeed, the fact that Carew were able to eventually sneak over the three figure mark was down to No 5 Brian Hall, who steadied the ship with a patient 43, a knock that included six fours.
Ian Forrester (18) also added late runs, but the home side were always on top as Tom Murphy (3-26), Harry Thomas (3-10), Mike Shaw (2-27) and Brad McDermott-Jenkins (1-16) ensured wickets fell at regular intervals.
And the Cresselly run chase got off to a solid start as Williams and Matthew Morgan put on 45 for the opening wicket – with Williams making 26 (three fours) and Morgan 24 (four fours) before both were dismissed by Rhys Davies.
Indeed, Davies did give Carew a glimmer of hope as he took three more wickets to finish with figures of 5-25, but Adam Chandler (18 not out) and McDermott-Jenkins (16 not out) steadied matters and the pair eased Cresselly home with five wickets in hand.
Umpires: Les Hastings & Allan Hansen.
Scorers: David Richards & Julie Davies.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- City Public Safety Commissioner Christian Mathiesen says he wants to know what's on the minds of residents.
He will hold a public meeting Oct. 23 at the Saratoga Springs Public Library to let Saratogians bend his ear for the evening.
"I think it's a good idea to make myself available to the public to hear what they want to say," Mathiesen said.
The commissioner came up with the idea while on the campaign trail, when people told him they never hear from elected officials except when they want their votes.
He said the meeting will not have an agenda but submitted an announcement saying it will revolve around the 2013 budget, capital program, land use and "any other matters relating to the management of our city."
Mathiesen said he will of course be open to discussing the Public Safety Department and will begin the meeting with a discussion of the "achievements and challenges" of the year.
"I wanted to leave it pretty much open for anyone who attends to discuss the issues they want to discuss," he said. "This meeting is part of an ongoing effort to improve communication and to encourage the process of open government."
The meeting will take place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23, in the Sussman Room at the Saratoga Springs Public Library.

Re: anyone exerence personality changes long before diagnosis?
I am so sorry if my first post hit a nerve. I wouldn't want my DH reading it or knowing how I feel. So I should have guessed it would sting the other patients out there. I am sorry but have to confess it did help reading some of the others and being reassured that I am not a monster for thinking this way. I just miss him, that's all.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The south runway expansion project at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is moving forward and, on Thursday, project managers invited reporters to see exactly how they are moving nearly seven-million cubic yards of crushed limestone from a quarry in West Dade to the job site.
At the Cemex Corp. mine in Medley, crews were crushing and loading millions of tons of freshly excavated limestone. This fill is the foundation of what will be the new 8,000 foot landing strip.
Frank Prieto, with the Cemex Corp, said the project is literally an earth moving event.
"This is a big one, this is about as big as it gets. Our participation, roughly 3.5 million tons over a very compressed timeframe," Prieto told Local 10's Roger Lohse.
It's enough to fill Marlins Park two and a half times. The bulk of the aggregate material is being trucked to the job site. About 700 dump trucks a day are making the 25 mile trek from Medley to Fort Lauderdale, hauling endless loads of fill that crews are spreading and compacting as they form the runway's base.
But a portion of the material is being delivered by two 80 car trains each day. Project managers say not only do the trains deliver the fill faster, but they also ease the load this project is putting on the community.
"That equates to 350,000 truckloads that we save from having trucks on the road, added traffic to the community, and carbon emissions to the environment," said Mauricio Gonzalez, a project manager with Odebrecht, the contractor that is building the runway.
The new $791 million runway will stretch west and be built up and over U.S. 1. Traffic on that stretch of the road will eventually travel through tunnels underneath it.
Right now at the east end, the base is about 19 feet above ground but when they're done, it'll rise 65 feet in the air.
The south runway will scheduled to be operational in September of 2014. Crews are working around the clock, six days a week, to meet that deadline and with all this limestone, you can say they're literally building it from the ground up.

Bring old cell phones and handheld electronics to the zoo for recycling - you'll keep harmful substances out of our landfills and help raise money for conservation projects.
Recycling cell phones and other electronics can benefit endangered animals and keep harmful substances out of landfills. An ore called Coltan (columbite-tantalite) is a source of the element tantalum, which is an essential coating for components of cell phones.
This ore is mined in gorilla habitats in the Congo. In recent years, the eastern lowland gorilla population there has declined 90 percent, according to the United Nations. Reducing the demand for Coltan can help save these animals and their habitat.
Simply drop off the items listed below at the Guest Service Building at the zoo entrance any weekday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.:
Cell phones & cell phone accessories
Digital cameras
iPods and MP3 players
Handheld game systems
GPS handheld units
Portable hard drives
Chargers for any of the above
Please do not bring desktop computers, monitors, DVD players, VCRs or TVs.
Questions? Contact the Guest Services staff at 427-6800 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks to the Little Turtle Chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers for coordinating the cell phone recycling project to benefit conservation efforts.New tax laws enacted in early 2013 have restored the ability for those age 70 1/2 and older to rollover donations from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) directly to a charity.
For the 2012 tax year only, IRA owners can choose to report qualified charitable distributions made in January 2013 as if they occurred in 2012. You must act before Jan. 31 to apply the tax benefits to your 2012 tax return. Any IRA donations occurring any other time in 2013 will be applied to your 2013 tax return.

This is I believe an Art Deco Bow Brooch, it belonged to my grandmother, several years ago I inherited it from her. Ive never worn this brooch and I dont remember my grandmother wearing it, although she did wear a number of pieces I inherited from her.
It might be made out of pot metal ? Not sure ? I dont have any other information about this brooch.
It is pretty, all stones present. It is somewhat heavy. It does not have any markings on the back. The coloring is good, considering the possible age.
Let me know what you think about this brooch ? and if you have other information.

BERNHEIM - Heading into Thursday night's championship game of the Girls' Bullitt County Middle School Basketball Tournament, the Bernheim Lady Bruins had something that only one other local school has owned over the past 15 years - a championship banner.
Now they have two.
Rallying from a 22-19 halftime deficit, coach Tonya Cravens' Lady Bruins reversed a pair of regular season losses to the Mount Washington Lady Generals, coming out on top 41-39 in a hotly contested game into front of a boisterious crowd at Bernheim.

Livingston is likely an upgrade over DJ, just for the defense. And Livingston is pretty automatic in the midrange game. I'd consider it if I were the pacers.

Rockets sign Patrick Beverly to a multi year deal I was a big fan of his in college I hope he does well. He would of been an upgrade here at the pg spot. Wonder who they will cut to make room? Royce White or Machado is my guess. Machado isn't ready yet but I would cut Ben and sign him instantly if that's what the Rockets do.

That's the kid from the Hoop Dreams "update" or whatever right?
Yes sir Hoops Reality it's on YouTube. I liked him a lot with the Hogs flat out scorer. I don't know how he fits with Harden though. I think he will be much better long term than Douglus. Also doesn't hurt he has been a beast in Russia. I expect him to have a long good career.
I wanted us to get Livingston when he was cut by the Rockets, but he hasn't played well for the Wiz at all, and now he just got cut by the worst team in the league.
I wouldn't mind the Pacers giving him a look, but then I wouldn't mind them giving every D-League PG a look either...
Early reports are that it's a 3 year deal but with team options on years 2 and 3. And that he'd be initially assigned to the D League. I suppose it's fair given his relative lack of experience.
Working off that tangent, I wonder what it would take to sign Bo McCalebb. Now that's a guy who can give an immediate boost to the bench, but he's making good money in Europe. I'm guessing it would take something like the 3 year, $9m deal that Shved signed for? For reference we signed Saras to a 3 year, $12m deal all those years ago.
If the Rockets actually do cut Machado, we need to jump on that quick. It'd be one of the few times we can get a passing PG like that for cheap.
He wasn't playing well, and he did have a shoulder injury. But he was playing significantly better than Ben and DJ..once again, defense alone...(Plus, his midrange shot is money. I'm not sure why he doesn't just shoot it every opportunity he gets.)
Way more than that IMO he would want MLE money at least. Shved signed really cheap I remember being puzzled the day he signed I was kind of PO we didn't offer him much more he was a much better player than what he got $$ wise. His agent did him really bad he was my 2nd favorite FA in Euro after Bo. I also think Shved is a better NBA prospect than Bo I just like his game better for the NBA. If Bo would sign a 3 yr 9m dollar deal we should of signed him ages ago that would be a steal
Bo I doubt ever comes over and to be a backup?? I dont see it.

I don't like Machado. I've only seen him during the preseason and in the d-league, so i might be missing some reason for the hype, but the only thing I liked about him was his passing in transition, I didn't like any the other aspects of his game or talent.
Euro FAs are actually a great way to find some good production on a cheap value, imo.
Shved is a prime example of that. But it isn't only that. Prigioni was an excellent pick-up for the Knicks. Copeland was good as well. They make almost nothing and they can contribute immediatedly as they have experience playing pro ball.
I really believe that we have to use this tool a lot more to maximize our cap space. Since the FO seems to be locked in with our starting 5 (something that I like) it's time to find some great role players. And we can find several of them overseas.
We can find sharp shooters or veteran point guards and sign them on the cheap. They are not that rare to find.
In fact, I've been thinking about doing such a thread for a long time. But I've been busy these days (I had a rehearsal yesterday and a gig tomorrow) and thus didn't create that thread. Plus, I don't know which contracts expire over this summer
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Last year was a strong class for euro FAs(were about 15 guys I would of been interested in) but I agree there are normally 2-3 players that can be had much cheaper than what they would cost if they were NBA free agents and give the same production.
It's true that most good players in Europe are making great money here. However, I think that several of them would be willing to take a pay cut to play in the NBA. Because simply that would be their ticket for a bigger deal in the future.
The highest paid player in Europe in the 11-12 season was Andrei Kirilenko. He was paid 4 Million Euros. Krstic was second at 3 Million Euros.
If you manage and make yourself a rotational player in the NBA (something that's not that hard as some of those guys are really talented and can ball) then you will possibly make more than that.
So, I think that they are willing to take a pay cut for a year or two (or 3) because in the long run they'll probably end up earning more.
As the Pacers are constructed right now, we need to build a great bench. It's clear that the FO is not interested in shaking up the starting 5. Our bench is better this year, imo, but they are still not as good as it should be. Imagine if we had a bench as strong as the Clippers do?
Well, we can build a great bench if we fully explore all of our options around the world.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
@WojYahooNBA: The Boston Celtics are signing forward Jarvis Varnado of Sioux Falls in the D-League, league source tells Y! Sports.
Nice to see that Varnado is in the NBA he is a nice player.
We need a PG that can effectively run the offense in a half-court set.....are there any Guards out there that can do that?
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
he meant unarmed point guards having no sinus issues!
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
What about Earl Watson?
He's with the Jazz as well
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
With the Beverly signing maybe Toney Douglas is expendable. Don't know too much about his game though. Can't even remember where he went to college.
I'm just not sure what we could offer. Tyler + DJA expirings + a pick?
I wouldn't send that for Calderon especially when there is a good chance that he will bolt after this season. Also...just because DJ sucks it up....I don't think that ANY PG would fit into the offense that we run.....well, just because he is not named DJ. I keep on getting back to this whole notion that the main reason why DJ isn't working is because he's not a good fit for the half-court offense that the Pacers run. Getting a PG like Calderon ( who EQUALLY sucks on the defensive end ) but I thought ( and I could be wrong here ) is more of an up-tempo PG...wouldn't solve any of our problems. Same goes for PGs like Ridnour and Barea.
I suggested this before....but would Bayless be a better fit...in the same vein that GH is a good fit in that he's more of a Combo Guard that has some PG skills?
Does the Grizzlies run a half-court offense?
What other Teams currently run a half-court offense that we can maybe poach a PG from?

Orlando's still sort of in make the playoffs mode but I don't expect that to last too long. Wonder how cheap E'Twaun Moore'd come.
So Kobe, Lebron, and Durant could all top Kareem's career scoring record. Kobe's the only one close enough to put any kind of odds on it or anything, but it's pretty wild to think about, three current players could beat a mark I used to think was pretty close to untouchable.

Oxenhope Rec 7 Silsden Reserves 1
A one-sided but entertaining Keighley FA Challenge Cup final went the way of West Yorkshire League outfit Oxenhope as they lifted the trophy for the third time in their history.
Having put their name on the silverware in 1966 and more recently in 2012, they powered their way to victory over their hosts from the North West Counties League at Silsden's Angel Telecom Stadium.
Experience and strength soon told as Oxenhope took the lead on ten minutes. Tom Marshall broke down the left and crossed to Michael Garnett, who used his physique and power to turn defender Nathan Priestley and blast in from a narrow angle.
Eleven minutes later, Rec doubled their lead. Silsden keeper Wayne Mahomet broke up an attack with a long clearance down field but the ball fell to Ollie Metcalfe, who lobbed home from all of 40 yards Beckham-style.
On the half-hour mark Silsden pulled a goal back. Mikey Hall fed Brad Fay, who pushed the ball into the path of Tom Sowerbutts to slot home.
Oxenhope regained control when Garnett twisted and turned to get his cross in.
The ball was blocked and fell to Chris Day on the edge of the box, whose powerful volley went in off the post.
Hall had a chance to reduce the arrears but failed to get clean contact on a cross and the ball flew agonisingly over the bar.
At the start of the second half, Lee McGowan, at the heart of the Silsden defence, denied Dan Mor-iarty. Soon afterwards, Liam McNicol headed in but was adjudged to have climbed on McGowan's back.
A scissor-kick from Garnett brought an acrobatic save from Mahomet while, at the other end, Sowerbutts' volley beat keeper Sam Lee but cleared the bar.
The pace of Marshall caught Silsden's defence off guard but Mahomet parried the youngster's powerful drive and saved his follow-up.
On the hour, Moriarty put daylight between the teams. He cut inside Declan Consoli and, from the edge of the box, drove an angled ball beyond the keeper.
Minutes later Moriarty notched his second, cutting in again from the left to make it 5-1.
Silsden had chances to reduce the deficit. Hall drove in a curling free-kick that was heading for the top corner but keeper Lee produced a superb one-handed save to tip over. From the resulting corner, he blocked Danny Nazir's cross-shot.
A mazy 40-yard dribbling run by Oxenhope centre back Scott Nelson put him in on goal but he shot across the face of the target.
Silsden's sub Liam Murgatroyd then got caught dribbling the ball out of defence by Leon Smith, who slotted home number six.
Two minutes later, Moriarty completed his hat-trick with a trademark jinking run through the Silsden defence.
Oxenhope proved worthy winners – their seven-goal haul took their tally to an incredible 32 goals from just four ties. Captain Ben White went forward to collect the cup and the players celebrated their victory with their fans late into the night.
Oxenhope: Lee, Day, McNicol, Nelson, Walton, White (Quinlan), Trowers, Moriarty, Garnett (Smith), Metcalfe, Marshall (Hickman).
Silsden: Mahomet, Consoli, Narey (Murgatroyd), McGowan, Priestley, Jalil, Metcalfe, Sowerbutts, Hall (Feather), Faye, Nazir.

This magical island has lost none of its vibrancy, with five-star resorts offering dazzling new levels of comfort and sophistication. Bali is a vibrant pinprick of Hinduism in the midst of the world's largest Muslim country. With its beaches, palm trees and warm, blue waters, it delivers on all the tourist expectations of a tropical island. It also provides an extra dimension in its sublimely spiritual culture, even the humblest offerings of rice and petals by roadside shrines look exquisite. For most, its most powerful draw is the island's varied landscape of beach and volcanic land; for others the appeal lies in the spiritual culture. On a more pragmatic level, the island offers an extraordinary calibre of luxury accommodation.
Formerly the Serai, this secluded hotel changed management, and name, in 2002. Yet apart from a new Alila spa, there have been few radical alterations. The design now looks curiously old-fashioned, with 56 bedrooms set in four two-storey buildings grouped around a central swimming pool. The facilities, too, seem pretty average compared with the flair and standard of similarly priced newer hotels elsewhere on the island. The hotel does however, make a pleasant base from which to explore this intriguing area of Bali.Book Now
Sliding gracefully between sinuous rice terraces and a shimmering, black-sand beach, the resort combines cool, grey stone from nearby river quarries and polished teak in a harmonious design that gently, almost humbly, invites the human visitor into the landscape. The interiors are dramatic but understated, with design elements including terracotta tiles fired at a local kiln and large pieces of banyan-tree-root driftwood. Guest villas are comfortably arranged around private swimming pools just big enough to swim in, and generously appointed with top-of-the-line electronics and Alila's piquant signature bath products. What makes the resort special is the setting: Desa Kelating is a handsome, prosperous village of uncommon charm.Book Now
Just 5km from Ubud, Bali's thriving cultural heart, this hillside retreat has 56 rooms, housed in two-storey blocks designed to resemble a Balinese village, a stunning pool and a spa.Book Now
Adjoining a well-tended temple, this is one of the most stylish private villa developments. Even the driveway, lined with piercingly green banana trees, seems something of a design statement. The seven villas, with private pools, have their own walled space, with a separate sleeping area, both indoor and outdoor bathroom facilities, and an open-sided living-room. The style is oriental minimalist, featuring local materials and bold, clean lines, while decorative water channels in the gardens echo Bali's ancient system of irrigation. There is no restaurant but the staff prepare breakfast in each villa's kitchen and can organise other meals as required, as well as spa treatments, trips to the nearby rock temple of Tanah Lot and tours further afield.
About 10 minutes from the centre of Ubud, this is one of Bali's most influential and inspirational hotels. It was created by Australian-born Peter Muller in 1989 and is the oldest of the Amanresorts on the island; but for all its age, the design is seminal. The hotel celebrates Balinese life brilliantly. Accommodation is in 31 villa complexes modelled on the island's courtyard houses, a style that has since been much copied. But it is the integration of village life in the public areas that is particularly clever: the design incorporates the main path between local settlement and its temple and so the villagers walk through the grounds, with all their festivals and ceremonies becoming part of Amandari's essence.Book Now
Less than an hour and a half's drive from the airport, Amankila is spread along a cliff face with panoramic sea views. Its thatched pavilion suites and central buildings are linked by long, white stairways. It is so glamorous, you feel as if you've strayed into one of the more exotic James Bond films. Given that the hotel was built in 1992, some of the facilities could seem a little outdated, just nine of the 34 suites have private pools. The beach club at the bottom of the cliff encompasses a reasonable stretch of grey-gold sand, a restaurant, a 42-metre pool and an open-air spa. The temptation for most guests is to stay put, but the hotel also offers a range of activities including diving, Hobie Cat sailing and village treks and trips.Book Now
The scent of frangipani fills the air at Amanusa, the Aman's third property on the island, set amongst green hills just 15 minutes from Bali's Denpasar airport. The sumptuous retreat boasts a blissful white sand beach, a dazzling pool, and 35 thatched roof suites. Bedrooms have four-poster beds draped in white veils, while spacious bathrooms feature sunken baths. Eight suites have private pools. There's a golf course, tennis courts and spa treatments.Book Now
Also located in the south of the island, the hotel has 368 rooms, 11 restauants and bars, and a spa.
Traditional Balinese architecture is combined with contemporary Italian interior design at Bulgari's Bali resort, high on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. Villas are filled with local antiques, and each has its own pavilion, plunge pool and terrace. The spa includes an open-air infinity pool and yoga pavilion. Try the Unforgettable Double Bulgari Royal Lulur, a top-to-toe treatment for two people involving four therapists.Book Now
Smart refurbished rooms surrounded by a coconut grove, with a free hour on the tennis courts or canoe hire.
This beautiful forest hideaway on banks of Ayung River, this beautiful wellness hideaway occupies 23 acres of forest-covered riverbank and is a 10-minute drive north of Ubud, is the flagship of Como Hotels and Resorts (Parrot Cay and Metropolitan). Offering tailor-made holistic health programs, this hedonistic retreat features 30 sumptuous rooms and suites set within secluded residences, and standalone villas with private pools, living and dining areas. Kudus House specialises in regional Indonesian cuisine; Glow serves fresh, healthy dishes that chime with the resort's holistic ethos. Expect sunken baths in private gardens, antiques and exceptional views. Also featured in the 2011 Gold List.Book Now
Damai is a peaceful retreat located on the verdant hillside overlooking Lovina Bay. Eight villas are decked out in teak and Balinese fabric, with four-poster beds and large picture windows. The restaurant produces fine European-Asian food using ingredients from the hotel's organic farm. There's a spa and activities include treks to nearby villages and boat trips to see dolphins.
Don't be deceived by the humble name: Dream Beach Huts may be the hippest place on Lembongan. Spectacularly set above a white-sand beach with good waves, it's popular with Europe's young and beautiful.
This offers splendid formality, in jaw-dropping, ultra-modern surroundings. To enter you walk over a long wooden bridge and find yourself over a lotus pond with extraordinary views of bamboo, rice fields and river. The hotel itself lies beneath your feet. A polished-wood staircase takes you under the pond and into the main area, a circular, three-storey structure left partly open-sided so that wildlife flits through. There are 18 elegant suites in the adjacent buildings but the best accommodation is provided in 42 villas, each with a private pool and some with fish ponds on their roofs. They are distributed in ample grounds where rice fields are kept at four different stages of cultivation, both for the edification of the guests and for visual drama.
A 21-villa hotel that opened in September 2004. Set within walled gardens, each villa comprises separate pavilions, complete with thatched Balinese roofs, for living and sleeping in, with an indoor bathroom as well as either a bathtub or shower in an outdoor courtyard. Between the pavilions, every villa has a lap pool surrounded by decking and vegetation. You revel in the sense of space. The probability is that you will disappear into your own world, order the occasional in-villa spa treatment and rarely emerge. Forget eating out (though there are two restaurants), a butler will arrange for meals to be served from your villa's kitchen. Conceived as a romantic retreat, the hotel does not accept children under 16.
Just north of Sayan, this hotel has gorgeous views of rice terraces dropping sharply down to the little river Oos. It opened in 2001 and has four suites and 16 villas with private pools. All the accommodation is in Balinese-style pavilions beautifully furnished with local materials. Many of the baths, for example, are carved out of volcanic stone. Facilities include a spa with open-air treatment rooms, a well regarded restaurant, a library and, emphasising the commitment to the local art scene, a small gallery showing contemporary works.
A fancy beach hotel, ornately decorated in traditional style, and set in lush gardens on the edge of a black-sand beach.
Next door to Waka Nusa is the Nusa Lembongan Resort; posher but with no direct beach access, where beautifully finished cottages with sunken marble baths start at US$295.
Located on Bali's unspoilt north coast, this secluded hotel has four two-storey thatched beachfront villas set in open gardens. Each is charmingly decorated with antiques collected by British owner Diana von Cranach, features a private pool and wrap-around terrace and comes with a butler and a housekeeper. Delicious organic meals are served in your villa or in the informal restaurant. And any number of activities can be organised from horse rides along the beach to shopping trips to Java. NB There is a three-night minimum stay in low season and one week in high season.
Clean, attractive doubles from US$55, set in a hectare of tropical gardens.
Down a country lane off the main road, offers a chance to experience life in a Balinese village.
Pleasant if basic homestay in a deserted part of the island, with attractive fan-cooled rooms from about £25.
Rooms long a sentimental favourite of expats, are done up in uncommon good taste, with fine original artworks even in standard rooms.
The estate consists of six super-sexy, ultra-private pool villas from the Australian owners of Seminyak's popular Ahimsa hotel. They are vibrant in colour and style.
Though located in the heart of buzzing Seminyak, The Elysian is a discreet, all-villa hotel, two streets from the beach. Each of the 26 high-ceilinged bungalows features a living area, kitchen, bedroom, state-of-the-art bathroom, and private pool set within a walled garden.
The Legian is a quiet and private hotel with 67 suites, among the largest on the island, all looking out over the two-tiered lip pool. Located in south Bali, it is ideal for exploring nearby shops.Book Now
In Candidasa, the most attractive and unusual of the budget hostelries is the British-owned The Watergarden Hotel & Spa, which has 14 marble-floored, thatched-roof cottages on the edge of a meandering lotus pond.
Location is the key issue here: this 38-villa property, managed by the Orient-Express group, is about half an hour's drive from town, which would suit those who want a complete retreat; but it might be too remote for others. The setting is stunning, the hotel almost literally hanging off a wonderfully steep valley of the Ayung River, with a glorious temple on the opposite slope. Getting around this vertiginous property is simple: guests are scooted up and down the hill on a monorail.
Owned by Como Hotels and Resorts, empire of Singaporean hotelier Christina Ong, and sister property to the serenely luxurious CSE at Begawan Giri nearby, Uma Ubud has been cleverly pitched as affordable chic. There are just three suites with private pools; the other 25 rooms are in semi-hidden enclaves scattered around a central infinity pool and bar area. Yoga classes take place on the bar roof as well as in a hillside yoga-and-meditation pavilion set beyond the Shambhala spa. With white and cream furnishings, the hotel is marketed as a haven of peace. Yet there is something of a buzz as well; although it luxuriates in prolific greenery, the hotel is just off a bustling main street close to the Neka art museum and almost opposite the renowned gourmet restaurant Mozaic.Book Now
On the island of Nusa Lembongan, resort Waka Nusa has bungalows from US$100.

Motorcycle deaths are on the rise, and are now approaching an all-time high. Using data from the first nine months of 2012, the latest report from the Governors Highway Safety Association projects that motorcycle deaths will increase 9 percent in 2012 to more than 5,000 fatalities. The GHSA, which represents state and territory car-safety agencies, has used this method of projecting deaths for the past three years and found its projections mirrored final results.
The increase in motorcycle fatalities marks the 14th of the last 15 years that motorcycle deaths have increased. The GHSA said that, when comparing the first nine months of 2012 to the same period in 2011, 34 states saw increases in motorcycle deaths, while 16 states declined, and the District of Columbia remained the same. Some states that experienced increases in fatalities saw substantial jumps, including a 32 percent rise in Oregon and a 29 percent increase in Indiana.
Part of the increase in fatalities is related to an increasing number of motorcyclists on the road. However, the GHSA also says there is a trend toward repealing helmet laws, despite the fact that they are the only safety strategy with a five-star effectiveness rating by the federal government. The study noted that 19 states required all motorcycle riders to wear helmets in 2012, down from 26 in 1997.
If you're a motorcycle rider, do you think you need a helmet? If you live in a state that doesn't require it, do you wear one?

Sergio Ramos scored to seemingly end his 100th cap with a win, but la Roja's lack of a cutting edge saw them pegged back late on as France takes top spot in Group I.
The 26-year-old defender became the youngest player to reach a century of international appearances, and his 49th minute header seemed to be enough for Vicente del Bosque's men, who dominated throughout but were frustrated for long spells by the visitor's defensive approach.
But la Roja's inability to turn possession into goals cost them late on, as Teemu Pukki stunned the crowd by drilling home a 79th minute leveler to salvage a point for the visiting side.
Spain now falls two points behind Group I leader France, which the team visits on Tuesday, while Finland, despite the result, still remains bottom in the standings with only two points to its name.
Cesc Fabregas reprized his false-nine role as one of seven Barcelona players in the home side's XI, which was a record number of starters from a single team in la Roja's World Cup qualifying history.
Spain was quickly on the front foot, and nearly took an early lead when Nicklas Moisander inadvertently deflected Cesc Fabregas' cross towards goal, forcing a fine reflex save out of Niki Manepaa.
The match soon settled into a familiar pattern, as Finland was penned deep in its own half by Spain's tiki-taka football, with Pukki cutting an isolated figure alone up front for the visitors.
Manepaa smothered a close range effort from Andres Iniesta, but was forced to work a bit harder to beat away Santi Cazorla's strike, after the Arsenal man had cut in from the flanks.
Cazorla then completely mishit a loose ball that caught the defense by surprise, before Finland belatedly sniffed out its first decent sight on goal when Roman Eremenko blasted about a foot over from outside the box.
The entirety of the match was being played in the offensive third, but not for the first time, Spain was frustrated by the sheer numbers at the back from its opponent, and could not muster much more than half-chances as the first half petered out.
With the conventional approach stymied, it took a more direct route for la Roja to break the deadlock, and it was Ramos who came up with the goods, heading in Silva's corner minutes into the second half.
The goal seemed to unburden Spain, and Ramos, who was finding himself increasingly forward, nearly struck again when a rasping drive from him flew the wrong side of the post.
The home side was then up in arms when the referee waved play on after Fabregas was sent tumbling by Alexander Ring in the area, moments before Pukki shot wide on a rare Finland sighting in the opposition half.
But Spain was unable to seriously threaten again as the match entered its closing stages, and the team was pegged back with 11 minutes remaining when Pukki stole in between Ramos and Pique to turn home from close range.
Still, Spain had chances to win it late on, but Alvaro Negredo twice failed to convert, sending a header wide before he was denied by Manepaa. Finland became only the second team in seven years to avoid defeat away to the world and European champion.

IRVINE – For most of the season, Bren Center has functioned as a sort of safe haven for UC Irvine.
Away from the 5,000-seat, on-campus arena, the Anteaters are a mere 4-12, but within their own building, they've lost only once, in mid-December to LSU.
Little changed Saturday. Energized by a home crowd and a rowdy student section billed as the "Antourage" sitting courtside, UCI appeared at ease amid the familiar setting and ran past conference rival Cal State Fullerton, 86-66, to remain undefeated at home in Big West play.
"The energy that is created in a home environment in college basketball is a factor," UCI coach Russell Turner said.
"Everybody knows that. The difference between the teams in our league is not much and we've been able to grind out some tough wins at home."
Four players finished in double-digit scoring figures for the Anteaters (14-13, 8-6), who completed the series sweep of Fullerton (12-13, 5-8).
They defeated the Titans, 92-65, on Jan. 17 — the largest margin of victory in the series history.
Daman Starring led all scorers Saturday with 21points, all coming off seven 3-pointers. The senior guard finished 7 of 9 from beyond the arc and helped spark a 24-12 run late in the first half that put the Anteaters ahead 38-24 by halftime. Freshman guard Alex Young added 16 points and seven assists.
With no player taller than 6-foot-7 on the floor, the Titans struggled to slow down the Anteaters inside. UCI opened the first half on an 8-4 run, relying on Adam Folker, who scored six early points.
The 6-9 senior forward finished with 18 points and starting center Will Davis II finished with 10. In total, the Anteaters finished with 38 points in the paint.
Meanwhile, Fullerton struggled to just score, shooting only 30.8 percent in the first half and 40 percent for the game.
Davis, who finished with five blocked shots to eclipse the school single-season mark of 55, gave them fits at the rim. The sophomore has 59 blocks this season.
"He was just a tremendous defensive factor," Turner said. "You can't really understate how much of a factor he has been. When you have a shot blocker at the rim, that makes all the difference in the world because you don't have to help as much."
Sophomore guards James Douglas and Alex Harris led Fullerton with 14 and 12 points.
UCI welcomes Pacific to Bren Center on Wednesday at 7 p.m., while Cal State Fullerton plays host to Cal Poly SLO.

Ratings for Dr. Robert C. Dees
When our baby boy was born we expected to have our lives change forever, but never expected how hard it was really going to be to raise a baby who seemed to be uncomfortable all the time. We had a very long and difficult labor and ended up needing a vacuum assisted delivery.We found Dr. Dees through a friend of a friend.We stopped the medications and set up our first appointment.We were very skeptical but found Dr. Dees to be very informative and he was great with the baby.The night after the first adjustment the baby sat up for the first time by himself.It wasn't until after the 4th adjustment that we saw a decrease in his acid reflux symptoms of excess spitting up and gassiness which are now within what we would consider normal levels and his physical abilities have increased exponentially. There is no denying the impact that the chiropractic care had on our baby making him a healthier, happier baby.
My neck and back were in severe pain. After a trip to the emergency room, I found out that I was not having a stroke or heart attack and I was given more pain pills and sent home. I did not know what to do. A friend recommended that I call Dr. Dees, a chiropractor. I made that call the next day which turned out to be one of the most important calls that I have made in my life. The results were a wake-up call for me. After a few adjustments I was feeling much better. I was on my way to no more pills. I was educated on subluxation and what effect the nerves had on ones well-being and learned I could feel better without surgery. The numbness in my neck and arm was gone and I was back to my daily routine of walking 3-5 days a week.
Boy do I remember back to the first time I came through the door at Canyon Chiropractic. I could barely walk. I had to use a cane. My body ached so much I was in tears most of the time. I had seen all the medical doctors and they said they could not help any more. Dr. Dees explained how the adjustments would help the body heal itself. He mentioned that it would take some time. I then decided that I needed to faithfully come to my appointments and let this work for me. I am now walking without a cane and I walk briskly and even better, I am pain free.
After many years of stiffness, this skeptic went and saw Dr. Dees. Within a short time my back and I were converted. With simple painless adjustments, my back and neck started to feel better for the first time in years. No amount of massage or other treatments seemed to make any long lasting difference. If one keeps up a regular schedule, chiropractic does manage your needs. I only wish that my back and neck could make it into Dr. Dees more regularly. I start to notice the change when I do not follow through on my treatments.

(1 item)
I found three of these hangers in a box of wooden hangers that were thrown into a group of boxes that I bought at an estate auction. I was going to just get rid of the entire box of hangers but, I decided to at least look through them. It turns out the wooden hangers were old Setwell trouser hangers and are worth a little bit it seems. These three odd looking hangers really stood out and I am having a hard time finding much information on them. The one thing I did find was an ad in the May 1947 Popular Mechanics magaine at this link: http://books.google.com/books?id=094DAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA262&ots=rjlAgieel0&dq=frohock-stewart%20hanger&pg=PA262#v=onepage&q=frohock-stewart%20hanger&f=false
Stamped on the hanger is this information:

I am really interested in finding out more about these unique hangers. Thanks.

Vizquel longs to play, but embraces new role
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Somewhere in the 45-year-old mind of potential future Hall of Famer Omar Vizquel, there's the thought that he can still play in the Majors and at a high level.
At some point, though, all players have to deal with finality -- ageless Vizquel included.
"It's very tough. Very tough," Vizquel said of hanging up the spikes. "Obviously, it's always hard to walk away from the field when you think that you can still play. I believe that I can still play, but mentally it was pretty tough for me to go through the same things again and playing once a week, having little opportunities to play. So I just decided just to call it quits."
Vizquel played his 24th and final season in the Majors with the Blue Jays in 2012, appearing in 60 games as a backup infielder - even playing five innings at first base, as unsightly as that may seem for the legendary shortstop.
Now, he's in the first few days of his new chapter, as a roving infield instructor with the Angels.
"I always said that when I was playing that I want to be a manager when I retire," Vizquel said. "This is a good opportunity to make my first steps as a coach."
Vizquel heard about an opening in the Angels' Minor League staff through roving hitting instructor Paul Sorrento, who, like Vizquel, spends his offseasons in Seattle. The fact that general manager Jerry Dipoto was a teammate of Vizquel's in Cleveland in 1994 didn't hurt -- though, of course, neither did 11 Gold Glove Awards, three All-Star appearances, 2,877 hits and a reputation as one of the best defensive shortstops ever.
"He's thought the game, he evolved as a player and he played into his 40s, so obviously he was making some adjustments to what he was doing from the time he was 20 up to the time in his 40s," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "And I think that understanding of the process is important. Just the fact that it's Omar Vizquel, talking to a young infielder and starting to hopefully give these guys some insights that will help them."
Vizquel is in Major League camp right now, working mostly with the younger players, and will head over to the Minor League side in early March. During the season, he'll bounce around the different affiliates, taking over the role previously held by Dick Schofield, whose contract wasn't renewed, and teaming up with Bobby Knoop, the 74-year-old ex-Angels infielder who was previously brought back as a special assignment infield coach.
Vizquel's aspirations haven't changed. He still longs to be a big league manager, which Scioscia believes there's "no doubt" he can do.
And after almost a quarter century of living the rigorous Major League lifestyle, he isn't looking for a break.
"I know this is what I know the most," Vizquel said, "and I really enjoy having the uniform on, the communication with the guys and how you can control 25 different personalities. It's just an amazing thing to me to be involved with so many different people and try to be the leader of that pack, you know? So, to me, I think it comes naturally, maybe. I have the passion and I think I have the patience to go through that process, so I don't mind calling a guy to an office, or talking to him about a situation in the game that can help him out or can help the team out."

The left has been speaking Smug for decades; it was only a matter of time until your average forum-poster begain picking bits of it up. Keep in mind that Smug is a unique dialect in that it doesn't have any unique words; it just takes existing words and gives them new, exciting, and misleading meanings.
A popular Smug word you've probably been seeing is "community". The Smug word "community" has a few differences from the English word.
Smug "communities" can think, can speak, can have feelings, can have desires, can do favors, can apologize, can have their minds changed, can make decisions, and can even have rights.
For speakers of Smug, "communities" are actually individuals. Therefore, the following forum posts would actually make sense:
The Starcraft community needs to admit it was wrong about Starcraft 2.
Starcraft is a computer game, and many players initially expressed doubt about its upcoming sequel.
It's time that I contributed something special to the community.
Yeah, that sounds awfully warm and fuzzy. You couldn't actually be contributing something to individuals.
I want to let the community decide which avatar I use.
Again, it's such a loving phrase, and using the words "individuals" or "users" would just be mean.
Are there other Smug words that you have noticed recently?
Don't allow leftists to play games with definitions! Some of the
libertarian-leaning leftists at this forum will try to redefine
"left-wing" back to its original defition (Third Estate, limited
government, free-markets, laissez-faire reforms, etc.). Fine! We
non-leftists can't stop them from using their own personal definitions;
they can use whatever labels they want to describe any concept they
want.However, they have the audacity
to then use their personal definition of "left-wing" (remember, the original
definition, which is no longer valid) to prove that modern leftists are
more libertarian than modern rightists! They will say that
libertarianism is "inherently leftist" (again, using the original, no
longer valid definition), and use that to insist that we should prefer
and side with modern leftists over modern rightists.
Question their motives.
:"Society should..." = You are hereby obligated to...
And I will remain skeptical about sc2 until I actually play it.
Oh, I'm very skeptical of it too! I'm shocked that they would include multiple-building-selection in a competitive game; it's like auto-aim for first-person shooters.
Ok, I can't edit my previous post... it just keeps refreshing the page when I hit send. I was going to add:
Yeah, those on the left love to pull that trick. They
correctly realize that saying, "I will force you and everyone else to
pay for this" would expose them for the scummish control freaks they
are, so instead they say "society [or the community] needs to pay for
I think I've been beginning to understand Smug. These are a few Orwellian words that are used rather frequently:
Sharing. This means, in English, a combination of haggling, bribery, and extortion taking place behind closed doors at political capitals. "Sharing," in most contexts, is extolled as a virtue, except when it is voluntary.
Accountability. This means requiring people to give an account for who they spend their money or live their lives. I suspect that advocates of "accountibility" secretly do not enjoy filling at tax returns or renewing their driver's licenses, but they do not hesitate to to demand added "accountability" for others nor do they see the need for people to be accountable for how they spend other people's money.
Democracy. This means the majority vote having the final say. Their is no subject off-limits to the voting public, and sacred to the individual. Leftist typically paint the authors of the Constitution as favoring democracy, when they actually disparaged it. Democracy is the most vile form of government... democracies have ever
been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found
incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have
in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in
their deaths. James Madison, the Father of the U.S. Constitution. Democracy usually involves "making your voice heard" by whatever means possible; click here for an example. Moreover, anybody who expresses views contrary to the Left is said to be "bad for democracy", implying that "voting is good, so long as only my vote counts".
Smug indeed!
"As long as there are
sovereign nations possessing great power, war is
ami gi, you have to remember that majority rule is freedom; individual choice is slavery.
Ego:ami gi, you have to remember that majority rule is freedom; individual choice is slavery.
That's sarcasm...right?
Coming from me it is!
Oh come on, guys. Even if we accepted methodological individualism (unless it's advanced extremely moderately, I don't; my kickball team can have features which cannot be coherently explained through the properties and desires of the individuals who compose it), we could still say that the Starcraft community needs to reconsider something, as long as we took it in the statistical sense: most/many members of the Starcraft community took a stance contrary to the stance that they should have taken, so they should reconsider. Holism doesn't require that we say that the community exists separate from its members.
Donny with an A:Holism doesn't require that we say that the community exists separate from its members.
Holism doesn't require that we say that the community exists separate from its members.
While I dislike using these words if I can avoid it, I think it's fine until we hit the issue of rights or obligations.
When a community gains certain rights over the individuals within it by vice of large numbers, or when the individual within a community is obliged to sacrifice something for the greater good, or when one community has more rights than another (again by vice of numerical superiority), then we have the problems. I imagine many people are easily tricked when these commonly accepted words are used against them, and so I prefer to immunise myself against it by avoiding them where possible. It's a bit like the concept of E-Prime.
I agree that groups of individuals "have features which cannot be coherently explained through the properties and desires of the individuals who compose it". Your kickball team can be smaller than my kickball team. However, your team can't "think", it can't "reconsider", and it can't "apologize". Individuals do.
The left loves to use language to personify groups (especially warm-and-fuzzy words like "community") because it helps them frame the argument that groups have rights and feelings.
Donny with an A:
Holism doesn't require that we say that the community exists separate from its members.
A community exists seperate from its members, because it only includes its members for the time they spend acting in the interests of the group, and only to the extent that the members behavior is governed by the group. And the degree to which dissent within the group can constitute a contributing factor to the group itself is questionable.
But prerequisite to all that is the fact that any group can only be created through the opinions of those who define it.
Individuals extend themselves in a very limited fashion into a group. The group does not consciously absorb them, nor does it act without the action of those individuals being extended into the group.
Pro Christo et Libertate integre!
I think a community does does exist in the sense of people having commonalities, interests and consensus about issues. It's similar to (other) institutions.

The flasher accused of stealing a Victoria Clipper catamaran and making for Canada "as a birthday present to himself" has pleaded guilty.
Samuel Kenneth McDonough stole the 132-foot, high-speed ferry "on a whim" back in December, but didn't make it very far. Unable to pilot the 480-ton vessel, McDonough, a Preston resident, was arrested shortly after the morning theft in Elliott Bay.
On Friday, McDonough pleaded guilty to burglary and taking a motor vehicle for the Dec. 1 theft. He faces up to 2½ years in prison when he is sentenced Jan. 24 in King County Superior Court.
McDonough was on state supervision for exposing himself at an Issaquah coffee stand when he apparently got the urge to head north.
"McDonough proclaimed himself a pirate, and said he had intended to flee the country to Victoria, B.C.," Deputy Prosecutor Ian Ith said in court papers.
Convicted in May of exposing himself to baristas at an Issaquah coffee stand, McDonough is alleged to have removed his GPS monitor before breaking into the Victoria Clipper dock at Pier 69 on the Seattle waterfront on a Sunday, his 33rd birthday.
At 5:30 a.m., McDonough partially unmoored the parked vessel before accelerating away from the dock, breaking a cleat and damaging the ferry in the process, a Port of Seattle detective said in charging papers. The keys had been left in the ignition.
Police responded when the ship was spotted adrift near Harbor Island. A tugboat secured it as a police negotiator contacted the pilot house.
McDonough identified himself as "Zero," made several rambling statements about maritime law and asked that a woman be brought to him because he was lonely.
Seattle police SWAT officers boarded the ship at 10:30 a.m. and arrested McDonough without incident.
Interviewed by police, McDonough made several nonsensical statements and claimed he was playing the part of a "pirate."
"I was trying to hold myself and the boat hostage," McDonough said.
Charged with first-degree theft, second-degree burglary and first-degree malicious mischief, McDonough remains jailed on $200,000 bail. He is expected to be sentenced by King County Judge Ken Schubert at the Seattle courthouse.

I'm normally into the stock headphones, but these yeesh!
I'm curious how they work if they work well everyone can send them to me!
I'm quite attached to my in the ear headphones.
Maybe now the stock Apple headphones will do more than gather dust.
Ever stop and wonder why people are so into headphones these days?(Skullcandy, beats, etc.) Its because iPods are so popular. And while they are extremely popular, they come incomplete and everyone knows it. Apples headphones are easily surpassed in sound quality and durability by almost any 'ol pair of $20 earbuds.
It's about time they wizened up and stopped printing money for their competitors. If true, this is a good move. Long overdue, but still. A good move.
I can't stand the current stock headphones I only deal with them for the voice technology. I hope they redesign them..
Btw guys if these are the next gen quit judging it by its cover apple will obviously make it quality., it's not just luck that they own A hugemarket
Am I the only one who loves the apple ear buds? I really hate the in-ear ones because it transfer any noise from the cables and my own breathing! Plus, I've found the ear buds sound better then other buds on the market. Nothing beats the in-ear sound but I don't like the feeling of plugged ears all the time.
They look like mini hair-dryers...Looks like the most redesigned part we will see with the new iPhone, the bloody headphones????
If they don't occlude the ear canal they are not going to have very good bass. Why not just include the in ear phones that they sell for $79 dollars. Can't cost apple more then 10 bucks a set to mass produce those and they sound a way better then the ones they have now. The Galaxy 3 comes with headphones that are the equivalent to the 79 dollar ones Apples sells and they sound pretty damn good. If they can do it, why not Apple.
An i the only one concerned with the fact that VIETNAM is the new manufacturer? The only worse country they could have chosen is N Korea

You guys had quite the showing of new MOTUC product at the New York Toy Fair. Can we expect to see a similar amount of new figures at Comic-Con this year or will it be even more?
Love the strong pine scent on Moss Man just like in the 80's. Just curious as to how the scent was applied to the figure?Better not tell you now
You have stated that Digital River has yet to resolve the issue regarding the order process having products that are in your shopping cart, become unavailable before credit cards can be charged. How long do you expect this issue to continue and why is it so difficult to correct?As I see it yes
Are there any plans to amp-up the packaging for the MOTUC line in the near future or will the blister card design remain the same throughout the entire life of the line?It is decidedly so
When will the DC Universe Classics SDCC Exclusive be revealed?Ask again later

text: Between these two models which one would be the most versatile? Which ones would crease the lease? (I'm assuming the captoes but I'd like to hear from people with experience with the budapests) Which color to get them in? (I'm trying to get them in as similar a shade as the westons that are in my avatar) I like the look of the budapest oxfords better but only by a little bit. Any thoughts or suggestions?

The September 2011 issue of Voices from the Middle will be the first for the new editorial team of Doug Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Diane Lapp. They have decided on "Quality Teaching" as their first theme, so start thinking about this one! Additional calls and the Submission Guidelines for the new editorship will appear in our May issue.
September 2011. Teachers matter and what they do matters most. In fact, quality teaching has greater influence on student achievement than any other factor in education. But what do we mean by quality teaching? What are the components that comprise quality teaching, and how do we know it when we see it? Understanding quality teaching has implications for professional development and curriculum design. It's even part of a Response to Instruction and Intervention model; to be successful, all students need access to quality core instruction. As a profession, we've focused on evidence-based instruction, but have debated the evidence. How do you make decisions about quality teaching and how to use those valuable instructional minutes? Deadline: September 1, 2010.

Is this an announcement? I don't know.
I just watched . I think everyone should see it. Having never been to Pakistan or India (or anything more easterly than the Island of Rhodes), several of my misconceptions about Pakistan were broken. Knowing that Pakistan is a Muslim nation, I imagined it to be similar to the middle-east. According to West is west, it is much more similar to India. Not surprising, I suppose, given that it was India until recently.
I'm now at a loss about what 'Muslim culture' actually means. It's a great big wide world.
Edit: Ah yes, that is what I was going to say. In West is west there is a character who teaches the young boy about things. He speaks as though is is a Sadhu or some sort of wandering ascetic, but I thought Pakistan was mostly Muslim. Confused me a bit... and made me wonder: just how much Dhamma is in the Qur'an?
