Superb 9.2 From 995 reviews
You don't really feel welcome here, staff seem to brush you off and take a long time to do anything. They milk the fact that it was the "hangover 2" hotel and overcharge so much for drinks at the rooftop. Was quite disappointed..
It was a nice and comfortable stay but the rooms are dated and breakfast service at the Club Lounge could be improved. The receptionist was reluctant for me to have breakfast there and did not clearly explain tje breakfast options despite my having Club Lounge access.
Great hotel. Great food. Great drinks
Use cash for deposit.
Stayed for 7 days over 2 visits on business and was on the 58th and 59 floor. Both stats were excellent with a very big comfortable room and hitel services were excellent and staff very welcoming and helpful

Sarasota's Tom Barwin should be looking into police enforcement and attitudes toward the homeless
After the American Civil Liberties Union released some Sarasota Police computer chat about going "bum hunting," I was surprised at the response from the new city manager.
Tom Barwin could have focused on assuring us there would be an investigation of possible bad attitudes by a few police officers, especially since this is a city already trying to buck a reputation for being mean to homeless people.
Instead, to my surprise, Barwin lashed out at the ACLU's local spokesman, Michael Barfield, a former prison inmate trained as a paralegal.
The city manager criticized Barfield for combing through local government records seeking material for use in lawsuits that cost taxpayers money. He said Barfield has a history of grossly misrepresenting the truth and pointed to a years-ago perjury conviction.
"We take the information from that source with a grain of salt," Barwin said.
Well, Barfield is indeed a former two-time prison inmate. But his real offense here is donating hours to the ACLU, including cases aimed at preventing improper harassment of homeless people.
I see that as superior to how most ex-cons spend their spare time.
Barfield has also made his living of late in part by assisting a local attorney, Andrea Mogensen, as a researcher in lawsuits against local government and alleging Government-in-the-Sunshine Law violations. But he has also informed officials, at times, of potential problems of that sort to try to get things worked out without a lawsuit.
The city manager doesn't have to agree with Barfield's metaphorical claim that the city is waging war on the homeless. Nor does he have to share my feeling that Barfield's work often helps keep our Sunshine Law in proper operation.
Heck, Barwin has pretty much told me that his last city manager job was in a state where Florida's open government law seems as foreign as yak milk and haggis.
But why attack Barfield's credibility about e-chat records that can be so easily checked? For crying out loud, Barfield got them from the city.
Two things are going on whether Barwin is tuned into them or not. One, good or bad, is the very real but unannounced intensification of Sarasota Police officers filing far more criminal charges for offenses by homeless people.
Yes, that's been part of Sarasota's reputation for some years. But Barfield has documented a dramatic new spike in arrests and citations for the usual minor offenses. No matter how many people are steered to social services and Salvation Army beds, as city officials say is their aim, that just isn't the whole story.
And then there are the "bum hunter" comments.
Are they a sign of nastier police attitudes towards the homeless?
Maybe not. Maybe it was just harmless black humor as cops banter about their relentlessly challenging job. Police have to deal with some especially problematic segments of the homeless population, including some people who are grossly unpleasant and resistant to lawful police actions. For some, "bums" is too nice a word. A few bad jokes about that don't necessarily signal bad intentions.
But an investigation into officers writing those comments is called for, in case it does reveal a correlation with questionable arrests or too-frequent use of force.
Barwin instead focused on criticizing the messenger, and even implied that Barfield may have made up the "bum hunter" chats.
Anyone wanna bet on that? If so, I'm betting with the ex-con, not the defensive city manager.
Barwin, full of good intentions in his new job, may have found Sarasota to be a tougher place to be city manager than he expected. Caught now between advocates for the homeless on one side, and, on the other, merchants and residents who want to give many homeless people the bum's rush, he's already looking edgy.

Yonder Alonso
"Alonso was all right this spring. Nothing that just jumped out at me as saying that he's going to be a star."
"Alonso, there's so much to like offensively. He has really good timing to hit. The biggest concern you have with Alonso is, he's got a late load and that barrel tips toward the mound and creates that hole. That's got a chance to be exposed. He's got a loop to his swing. That means pitchers are going to go after him inside."
"A very good kid."

That means pitchers are going to go after him inside."
"A very good kid."
"Alonso has good hitting hands, likes to go the other way. He'll hit a lot of line drives. But I don't see him hitting for any power, especially at Petco. I don't see him being the answer, personally. He's slow-footed at first base. I don't think his hands are great."
"Alonso's defense is going to be below average. That park may play to his advantage, because he's more of a gap guy."
Edinson Volquez
"In that ballpark, Volquez might pitch great. He gets his fastball up, and they wack it. They'll catch it there. In that ballpark, he might have an unbelievable year."
"Alonso's defense is going to be below average. That park may play to his advantage, because he's more of a gap guy."
Edinson Volquez
"In that ballpark, Volquez might pitch great. He gets his fastball up, and they wack it. They'll catch it there. In that ballpark, he might have an unbelievable year."
"Volquez has got some nasty stuff."
"Edinson Volquez was great when I saw him. He's got the stuff. That changeup's ridiculous. He's got a great fastball. It's just focus -- pitch to pitch, inning to inning, game to game. It gets easy for him. I think his mind wanders."
"Volquez looked maddeningly inconsistent. He'll show you pluses across the board. He's not as successful as he should be. I think the most consistent thing about him is his inconsistency. You're going to have good days. And you're going to have days where you scratch your head and say, 'That stuff should play better than it does.' "
Jedd Gyorko
"Gyorko looked out of shape, but he can swing the bat. He looks like he's a good defender. Didn't appear to have much quickness."
"Gyorko, he's a pretty good-looking hitter. His body, it looks like a young Matt Stairs. It's hard to think of another third baseman who looks like that. Maybe Olmedo Saenz. Wide in the hips. Very thick thighs. His body's bad now; it's only going to get worse."
"Gyorko is a really solid hitter."
Joe Wieland
"Wieland looked really good. Real good command. He should be a solid No. 3 for them."
"Weiland and Andrew Cashner were both good for me. I liked Weiland better. Cashner threw 99-100 but he is a one-pitch pitcher. His fastball is true, and he'll have to develop a secondary pitch to be not only a successful late-inning reliever, but will definitely need the other pitches to ever become a starter in the major leagues."
Casey Kelly
"Casey Kelly looked a lot better than I saw him last year. He's going to be fine."
"Casey Kelly threw really well. His stuff was what I'd seen in the past, but he was able to finish hitters better. He was able to miss bats."
Jaff Decker
"He can hit. Saw him some in center. I think he's a left fielder."
"Jaff Decker played really well. He looked comfortable. Had good at-bats."
"Jaff Decker looked pretty good. He might figure it out. Decent athlete. Good swing. I think he's still a couple years away."
"That is one strong human being. He is built like an NFL fullback. He ran faster than average down the line and he's 235 pounds of muscle."
"Andy Parrino, I think he's a utility guy. Maybe, maybe he could become a second baseman."
"Parrino is a good utility man for a lot of teams."
"Jonathan Galvez swung the bat good. I don't know where he's going to play. He's not a very good defender. He's getting stronger. As long as he doesn't get pull happy, he's got a chance to be a pretty good hitter."
"Jeudy Valdez has good tools. Can catch and throw it. He gets a little lackadaisical at shortstop. He's a poor baserunner."
"Cory Spangenberg is going to be a very good player."
"James Darnell looked lost in left field, and I think that really hurt him. It wasn't very good."
"The (Carlos) Quentin thing amazes me. You just know he's (not) going to be a 120-game player. But they did cover themselves there with (Mark) Kotsay and Chris Denorfia."
"O-Dog is not going to be a plus this year."
"I think it's an ordinary team."
"The Padres have a great coaching staff. I like (Bud) Black. They're going to get the most out of their talent. They have a good plan."
"I just think they're going to struggle to score runs."
"I think their farm system's over-rated. Maybe the most depth of anyone. But I still don't see a lot of high-end, can't-miss. They have some nice pitchers, and they'll play up in that park."
"You hear they have a very deep system. Very deep. With the changes in the collective bargaining agreement (eliminating most compensatory draft picks and limiting the amounts teams can spend on the draft), they may be ahead of people there."
Trevor Cahill
"This spring, Cahill wasn't the same guy he was last year with his sinker. I know they're hoping a little on him. They were convinced they saw something mechanically, and they thought they could help him. A little bit of a red flag to me."
"I think Cahill is a concern. His stuff hasn't been good. There's some concern there about how healthy-healthy he is. If Cahill was right, they would have the most innings-eating rotation in the division I think."
"Chris Young has changed his approach some at the plate and it's really for the good. He's got a lot better plate coverage. He's using the whole field. His balance at the plate is so much better. He's got his ass underneath him and he's actually got some flex in his knees. He can actually drive the ball to right field. That's something he was never able to do. It was fun to watch. I understand it's spring training, but I think there was something concrete to it."
Jason Kubel/Gerardo Parra
"I guess the left fielder (Gerardo) Parra's going to be great. It's going to be hard not to play him -- but they gave the money to (Jason) Kubel."
"I think Kubel is going to have a big year. He's healthy now for the first time in a while. Plus that Minnesota ballpark is tough to hit in. It's freezing and it's like Death Valley in the gaps. Now he's in Chase Field. He's going to have an opportunity to hit in a controlled environment."
"You hear they'll move Parra for a shortstop."
"It's sooner rather than later with some of their young arms, (Trevor) Bauer and (Tyler) Skaggs and (Patrick) Corbin. I could see all of those guys pitching in the majors this year, and Archie Bradley may be better than all of them. It gives Arizona an in-season alternative. It gives them a financial alternative. Say they're not in the race and they want to move (Joe) Saunders. They've got that protection."
"Corbin, good athlete; some projection left. He creates angles. He throws hard enough. There's a lot of things to like. Could be better than a four. He's fine."
"Skaggs could be good. Throws plenty hard enough. Can spin it, can change it."
"Their shortstop situation is interesting without (Stephen Drew). Willie Bloomquist, huge energy guy. John McDonald, spectacular defensive skills. These guys are both 34, 35 years old or more. That's going to affect their energy, range."
"Is Ryan Roberts going to have the same year?"
"Aaron Hill, I'm a little shy on him."
"Paul Goldschmidt is going to have a learning curve to go through."
"The Diamondbacks are scared to death they'll lose Miguel Montero. If he gets hurt, they're in deep trouble (at catcher)."
"I still think they're the favorites."
Dee Gordon
"He's adjusted. He's learned to make contact. I think he's cut down his swing a little bit and is relying on his speed. Plus, he's showing really good actions at shortstop."
"Dee Gordon has an 80 arm."
"Is he ready? Well, we'll see. But there isn't a choice."
"Gordon is one of those guys that's either going to be either really great or really bad. He's got exciting tools. Great arm. Phenomenal range. Acrobatic. Can fly. Learning to bunt. If he can get on base, he's the real deal. The biggest question is, he's awfully thin; is he going to hold up over the long haul? The strength factor, is he going to hit enough to warrant playing every day? And he makes a lot of young-guy mistakes. I really think he's going to be an exciting player who can steal 50, 60 bases, if he gets on base enough."
"I'm not as high on Flash Gordon's son. I can't warm up to him. He's very frail. People are talking about him as an All-Star. When I saw him last year, they were knocking the bat out of his hands. I just don't see it. He hit .372 in September. There's three times you make mistakes evaluating players -- spring training, September callups and winter ball."
"Ethier was swinging the bat very well."
"The guy who's going to have a big year is Andre Ethier. I could easily see him going out and hitting .300, 25 (homers) and 90 (RBI). It's his walk year. He sees the money everyone's handing out. He's a good player, and he's healthy now."
"His arm looked a little slow to me."
"Harang was OK. All of those guys -- (Chris) Capuano, Harang, (Ted) Lilly (who is injured) -- they can put you to sleep. But they know how to pitch. I would be concerned with Harang because I think Petco helped him a lot, and the bullpen would come in and save him. His stuff looked about the same. He threw strikes."
"They've got a problem behind the plate. A.J. Ellis and Matt Treanor, that's not a very good combination. Ellis in most organizations is a Triple-A guy. Treanor's best days are behind him."
"I think they're going to make a big splash in free agency."
"All you kept hearing is that the seven ownership groups bidding on them wanted to make a splash in free agency."
"They still have some holes, but they have some talent too."
"After Clayton Kershaw, they're a bunch of four and five starters. I think it'll be tough for them to finish above .500."
Buster Posey
"Posey looked good for a guy that's coming off a major injury."
"Buster Posey, I think he's ahead of schedule."
"Posey looked fine."
"Buster is OK. He's certainly not going to block the plate anymore. He's going to be fine."
Melky Cabrera
"He's in shape. That's the biggest thing for him. If he's able to stay in shape, he should be fine."
"Looks like he should help them."
"Melky Cabrera swung the bat well from both sides."
"Freddy Sanchez looked awful. He had the injury."
"Panda looks about the same as he did last year. He didn't do anything where you go, 'Oh boy, we've got a problem here.' He did what he had to do to get ready for the season."
"They've got a zero bat at shortstop."
"The free agent they signed, Gregor Blanco, quite frankly, he was better than (Angel) Pagan in center."
"I'm not sold on Blanco. He's a flyer. He found a few holes. A few balls fell in for him."
"Pagan was not good. I didn't see him take very good routes to the ball and his at-bats were poor."
"(Catching prospect) Tommy Joseph continues to get better. Hector Sanchez really swung the bat well. They've got a nice problem behind the plate."
"I like the Panik kid (Joseph Panik, the Giants' first-round draft pick in 2011). He's a little guy with some strength. Has a nice short swing. Probably a second baseman."
"Barry Zito; it wasn't pretty."
"I'm not enamored with the Giants. I don't think they're good up the middle."
"It's between them and the Diamondbacks. I'd have to go with the Giants, but like just about everybody else, if their catcher or shortstop goes down, they're in trouble."
"It's win-now with them. That's how Brian Sabean is. He's a win-now guy. Every year with the Giants, it's about trying to win until they get their ballpark paid off."
Nolan Arenado
"Arenado should be a really good hitter. He should be a really good player. Maybe you see him mid-season. He's very engaging. Talks to the scouts. I think he'll be a media favorite too."
"Arenado, it's a lot to ask him right now to be that guy, but he could be down the road."
"Arenado's not ready yet. But he's a legitimate prospect. He certainly looks like he might hit in the big leagues. If I was a betting man, I'd say he will, especially in that rarefied air."
Dexter Fowler
"Jury is still out. He's not very strong. He has to cheat to catch up. They just pound the crap out of him. So, to catch up, he has to get his swing going early, and that's death there. He can play center field. He's a great kid. I just don't see the strength. He's a disappointment, certainly, with the bat. But that's a huge center field out there in Colorado, and they need someone to cover ground out there."
"Dexter Fowler, you still wonder what he's going to do. He looked like he's going to miss."
Jordan Pacheco
"Pacheco looks like he might be a good utility player."
"The guy I love there is Pacheco. Very under-rated in his value. He can hit. Busts his ass. Can play a lot of places: first, third, you can stick him in the outfield, and he's a catcher. So you have the flexibility of using both catchers (in the same game) if you need to."
"Charlie Blackmon is a good-looking player."
"Last year, their catcher, (Wilin) Rosario, was coming off a knee injury. He looked much better, healthy and swinging the bat well."
"(Michael) Cuddyer, you could tell he came up in the Twins' system. He played the game the right way. Played hard."
"(Juan) Nicasio threw pretty good for me this spring. It's a miracle after the broken neck. He's OK."
"Todd Helton looks like he's having trouble moving at first base. He's not moving well at all. He runs like a guy with bad Achilles problems."
"They're glad they got rid of Ubaldo Jimenez. He's a knucklehead. I was at the game where he hit (Troy) Tulowitzki. It was so obvious. He definitely threw at him, there's no doubt. And then he started charging."
"I'd be concerned about the inability of their young pitching to develop."
Howie Kendrick
"Howie Kendrick is going to have a monster year."
"If Howie Kendrick wins the batting title, it wouldn't surprise me with Albert Pujols hitting behind him. You could see it in spring training. They'd get 2-1 on him and they'd look over and see Albert swinging about 14 bats and they'd throw the fastball. The last thing they want to do is walk anybody in front of Albert. Howie's a great fastball hitter."
"Mark Trumbo is a little rough at third."
"Their issue may be their closer. He did not look good in spring. He's just a big strong guy who tries to throw the ball by people."
"The Angels, that's a good team. The only worry with the Angels is their bullpen. They've got questions at the back end and in the middle. They've got the great starters."
"Their bullpen doesn't have to pitch great. It just has to pitch decent."
"Their issue may be their closer. He did not look good in spring. He's just a big strong guy who tries to throw the ball by people."
"Their bullpen doesn't have to pitch great. It just has to pitch decent."
"Jarrod Parker used to pitch on a good downward angle. When I saw him, he was getting around the ball. He was up a lot with his pitches."
"I think (outfielder) Josh Reddick will be good for them."
"They're just not going to score."
Dustin Ackley
"Ackley looks like he's playing better defense than last year."
"Ackley is going to be a real good player offensively."
Danny Hultzen
"He looks like a top of the rotation starter, a No. 2."
"They worked with Hultzen's delivery. Made him a little taller. I think he's getting on top of the ball better. His ball jumps by guys."
"Hultzen needs a little work with his breaking ball, but he'll be a good pitcher. He can pitch with his fastball and has a good changeup."
Justin Smoak
"He's cut down his swing from the left side."
"I'm not a huge Justin Smoak fan. He's got power but he's just a little slow with everything he does."
"Taijuan Walker looks like Dwight Gooden."
"Kyle Seager is starting to grow on me. I think he'll hit for average and he makes the plays at third."
"Jesus Montero is a good hitter. I really question how much power he's going to have in their park. I don't think he has any chance to catch. It doesn't seem like he's comfortable or he likes it back there."
"They're a couple of years away from being pretty exciting. I think they're on the right track."
"Joe Nathan was very ordinary last September. People say he's another year removed from surgery, but he's 37. I could see some blown saves."
"Minor leagues and majors, they're loaded. Unbelievably loaded. And they did not have a player on their 40-man roster who was out of options. How unusual is that? They have pitching. They have infielders. They have outfielders. If anybody gets hurt, they've got young people ready to step right in with a better than ordinary chance to have success."
"It's going to be a hell of a race between Texas and Anaheim. Southern California people should be really excited about that."
"I think Bobby Valentine has pissed off half the Red Sox clubhouse already. He's a very smart guy, but he's not one to look the other way on anything."
"Justin Morneau looks like he's healthy. Near the end of spring training, he was having the same swings he had when he was good."
"Aaron Cook threw well for the Red Sox. He looked like he did when he'd shove the bat up the Padres' assses in about two hours and 15 minutes."
"Kevin Youkilis, you don't want to get fooled by a guy like Youkilis. You could say maybe the wear and tear is catching up with him. He looked a little beat in spring training. He's played hard. He's no spring chicken. Still, you'd love to have him."
"Dustin Pedroia, he plays nine innings in spring training like he plays nine innings in July. This guy hustles, he plays hard -- doesn't matter whether it's spring training or not. Amazing ability and makeup."
"Because of (Carl) Crawford being hurt and the shortstop not being really a shortstop, and their catching is so-so, I don't think Boston is quite as good as they were the last few years. They've still got stars."
"You hear that Valentine and Adrian Gonzalez aren't seeing eye to eye. Bobby doesn't like that Adrian stands two feet in front of first base on pickoffs."
"The Rays have great pitching. They just don't have enough offense. They don't seem to want to make a trade. They're just going to go with really good pitching and hope they hit enough."
"They're pretty good in Tampa, but (Tim Beckham) wasn't one of their better choices. Can't hit. He's borderline. Good-looking athlete but has not made progress with the bat. He has little or no chance against big league pitching. Not a bad athlete, but he still doesn't recognize pitches off the plate and pitchers know it. I'd say he's a fringe prospect because he's got good tools."
"Before he got arrested, Matt Bush looked pretty good. Throwing 94. Pretty good delivery."
"The starting shortstop for the Reds (Zack Cozart) surprised me offensively, had some really good swings. I heard he was a defensive guy."
"I would bet on Hanley Ramirez having a big year. He's really swinging it well. He looks healthy, happy. He and Jose Reyes hang out together. They're inseparable. They both dyed their hair orange the other day. Why, I don't know."
"I'm not sure what the White Sox are doing. Their front office personnel were hardly seen at the games. I didn't see (general manager) Kenny Williams once. Between the press box, lunchroom and the field, you expect to see somebody, but they were hard to find. Holy crap, you look at that team, I'd be concerned offensively and defensively. But I think they think they're going to be all right."
"You hear about how the Pirates are coming. Well, they're still a bad team. Pedro Alvarez (drafted second overall in 2008) looked terrible on offense and terrible on defense."

"If you ran the video of Anthony Rizzo last year with the Padres and saw him now, it's completely different. Remember how, on the on-deck circle, he had that warmup swing that was almost like a golf swing? He's not doing that anymore. In the batter's box, he's not laying his bat like he used to. He's more direct to the ball. He's driving the ball in the middle of the diamond."

TUSCALOOSA | A representative from Montgomery's Southern Poverty Law Center on Feb. 28 will discuss the history of civil rights in Alabama and Tuscaloosa's role in the movement.
TUSCALOOSA | A representative from Montgomery's Southern Poverty Law Center on Feb. 28 will discuss the history of civil rights in Alabama and Tuscaloosa's role in the movement.
Lecia Brooks, director of outreach for the SPLC, will talk about Tuscaloosa's historic movement toward equality as well as the famous Bloody Sunday march from Selma to Montgomery that was led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
The discussion will be held at 6 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum, 1901 Jack Warner Parkway.
No admission will be charged, but organizers suggest that audience members make a $2 donation.
Brooks' appearance is in coordination with the exhibit of 1960s-era photographs taken by Spider Martin, the Alabama-born photographer who documented the Bloody Sunday march of March 7, 1965, that is on display at the museum.
Called "Selma to Montgomery: A March for the Right to Vote," the traveling exhibit opened last month.
According to a news release announcing Brooks' appearance, the graduate of Loyola Marymount University leads the SPLC's outreach efforts on initiatives and social justice issues and frequently gives presentations around the country to promote tolerance and diversity.
Brooks also serves as director of the Civil Rights Memorial Center in Montgomery, an interpretive center designed to provide visitors to the Civil Rights Memorial with a deeper understanding of the civil rights movement.
She joined the SPLC staff in 2004 as director of Mix It Up at Lunch Day, a Teaching Tolerance program designed to help break down racial, cultural and social barriers in schools.
Previously, she worked for 12 years for the National Conference for Community and Justice in its Los Angeles office.
For more information about scheduling educational programs at the museum, tours, group rates, or inquiries about renting the museum and park, contact the museum at 205-248-4931 or visit the website at www.mwwtm.com.

Kia ora people!
It's DiveDiva (Rachel) here! For those of you who don't know me, I started this forum back in 2006 when I was living and breathing diving in NZ. I returned back to the UK (to have kiddies) in 2009 and am still here...not so inspired by the local diving, having being spoiled by the waters of the South Pacific for so long.
But after almost eight years dry (yes! Although I did continue to teach seal team initially!) I am about to reenter the watery world...starting with (probably) a reorientation diving holiday in Greece and then ... a stint in Mexico to dive the cenotes!!!
I know Ali and Cameron are cave diving experts and it's just caverns for me (as I ain't cave trained) but if any of you have any tips or want to share your Mexico diving experiences with me, I would be very grateful,
What would also be useful is everyone's latest recommendations for recreational gear. I had apex regs in the past which I was very happy with but I'm open to suggestions as I have been out of this particular loop for a wee while!
Thanks so much in advance lovely people!

We didn't really have a solid plan for today's ride; the past two weeks we'd done 100+ miles and knew that wasn't in the cards today. Not that there's anything wrong with riding 100 miles, but Karen (the wife) made it known that she'd like to do a short ride with me as well, and that's tough to pull off arriving back home around 6pm (not to mention that, once home after 100+ miles, you really don't feel like getting back on the bike again).
But even without a formal plan we still had the idea of heading out to the coast, the usual Pescadero/Tunitas loop, a ride that you just kinda fall into. And we probably would have done that ride, had Kevin not had a fairly significant seizure heading up Old LaHonda, the type where he loses consciousness for a short amount of time (about a minute and a half) and as he comes out of it, talks about wanting to head straight back home after finishing the climb. This is where I win or lose the "Dad of the year" award, depending upon your perspective, because I wouldn't have any of that; I knew that in less than half an hour Kevin would be completely back to normal, and that continuing to ride gets him back to normal much faster than taking a rest.
It was very unfortunate that he got that seizure on Old LaHonda because he was doing really well, probably heading towards a personal best on the climb. But we got up and over the other side, where we saw one heck of a lot of gray. Fog. Like we haven't seen enough gray this past few months! So when we got to LaHonda, Kevin suggested that he'd like to try for a good time (meaning a fast ride, not partying) up West Alpine, and then drop down Page Mill and head to our Los Altos store, where his sister (Becky) was working today, and then wind back home through the foothills. Works for me!
Amazing how much difference 20 minutes can make. From feeling exhuasted and wanting to go home to flying up West Alpine. And fly he did; 45 minutes, 51 seconds from bottom to top. I was impressed, especially as he got faster as he neared the top. I don't think I'm going to be doing the Sherpa-thing this July in France; he's going to be carrying his own stuff!
I'll have a video up shortly, this time with first movement of Beethoven's 6th Symphony. It's taking me a bit to figure out how to time things correctly and make cuts according to the music. Eventually the plan is to have 5-10 minute videos of each of our major climbs in the area. Don't expect much, but hopefully you'll recognize things and maybe have a laugh (at my expense).
Oh, right, the stats. 60.7 miles, 5800ft of climbing (plus another 12 miles for the short ride with the Wife, and about 880ft). –Mike–

Late rally lifts Red Sox past White SoxBy MIKE SHALIN
The Sports Xchange
July 09. 2014 10:39PM
BOSTON -- The staggering Boston Red Sox, showing some life with all about to be lost, rallied late and pulled out a 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night.
The defending champions, about to fall to 1-8 on their homestand, scored three runs in the eighth inning before pinch hitter Daniel Nava doubled home the tying run and scored on right fielder Brock Holt's single in the ninth.
For the second straight night, the White Sox stroked eight extra-base hits. Hoping for their first four-game winning streak of the season, they built a 4-0 lead. But it disappeared, wasting another strong outing by left-hander Chris Sale.
The rally made a winner of Boston reliever Koji Uehara (5-2), who was named to the American League All-Star team earlier in the day. He struck out the side in the top of the ninth.
Rookie outfielder Mookie Betts, whose hustle keyed the eighth-inning rally, was hit by a pitch to start the ninth-inning uprising against Javy Guerra (0-1).
First baseman Jose Abreu hit his 28th homer, third baseman Conor Gillaspie also homered and Sale left with the lead.
Sale, who is leading the fan vote for the last spot on the AL All-Star team, worked 7 2/3 innings, allowing a strange run in a three-run eighth. Betts, leading off, beat out an infield hit and turned it into a double with no one covering second base. He took third on a groundout and Sale was done after getting Holt on a comebacker.
Right-hander Jake Petricka relieved and gave up an RBI single to second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who then rode home on a double by designated hitter David Ortiz. First baseman Mike Napoli walked and left fielder Jonny Gomes doubled home a run.
Sale continued an impressive run by the White Sox starters, who have a 1.04 ERA over their last six starts.
The last-place Red Sox, starting five rookies in a game for the first time, won for only the sixth time in their last 19 games.
Right-hander Rubby De La Rosa, recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket for the start, worked the first five innings. He gave up three runs on six hits and struck out three.
After collecting eight extra base-hits on Tuesday, the White Sox were right back at it Wednesday.
With two outs in the first inning, Abreu teed off to dead center for a home run. Designated hitter Adam Dunn then doubled but got no further.
In the second inning, Gillaspie led off with another homer to center. De Aza doubled, but a spectacular diving catch in right center by center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. robbed catcher Tyler Flowers on an extra-base hit.
In the third, Boston left fielder Jonny Gomes made a diving catch of shortstop Alexei Ramirez's line drive before Gillaspie doubled. Right fielder Dayan Viciedo, who homered Tuesday, then hit a sharp grounder through the legs of Napoli to send Gillaspie home from second.
Viciedo was nailed trying for second on the throw home, with debuting Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez gunning him down, and that became important when Gomes, wearing sunglasses, lost De Aza's fly ball in the twilight for a triple.
- - - - - - -
NOTES: The Red Sox designated C A.J. Pierzynski for assignment and recalled C Christian Vazquez from Triple-A Pawtucket. Pierzynski hit his last home run May 24 and had one RBI in his last 53 at-bats. Vazquez, regarded as an ace defensive catcher whose hitting is coming along, was one of five rookies in the Boston lineup, the first time the Red Sox started five in the same game since 1987. ... LHP Chris Sale was still leading the fan vote for the final spot on the American League All-Star team. "I'll be honest with you, I can't believe a pitcher the quality of Chris Sale is not already in the All-Star Game. It's sad," All-Star 1B Jose Abreu said. "He has the numbers, he obviously has the quality. He's one of the best pitchers in the major leagues. It's incredible it's happening this way, that he's still having to get votes to get in. He should be a lock." ... All-Star LHP Jon Lester goes for his 10th win against Chicago LHP Jose Quintana in Thursday's series finale.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Wildlife officials hope to move as many as 60 greater sage grouse from Montana to North Dakota over the next two years to boost a waning population.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Wildlife officials hope to move as many as 60 greater sage grouse from Montana to North Dakota over the next two years to boost a waning population.
The proposal is part of a multistate effort to improve conditions for the birds and keep the federal government from listing them as endangered. Officials in Western states fear that federally mandated protections could severely restrict ranching, grazing and energy development.
"We're trying to find a happy medium where we can still produce and capture the energy that we need, and still keep the birds protected," said Aaron Robinson, sage grouse biologist for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. "Everyone needs to give a little. The sage grouse are already giving. They're being wiped off the landscape in their entire range, and now it's time for the other side to give a little."
Scientists say the sage grouse has lost half of its traditional range and also has been hit hard by the West Nile virus. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2010 determined sage grouse deserved federal protection but that other species were of higher priority. The agency has pledged to make a final decision on listing the sage grouse by late 2015.
Far southwestern North Dakota is on the edge of the sage grouse's historic range. The bird's population in that area peaked at 542 males in 1953, and has steadily declined in the past three decades. Sage grouse hunting was halted in the state in 2008 for the first time in nearly half a century after a steep population drop officials attributed to the West Nile virus.
This year's survey found only 50 males. Wildlife officials would like to see five times that number.
With help from a report the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued in March, North Dakota is beefing up its sage grouse conservation plan, though it's largely technical updates to its 2005 plan. It calls for measures ranging from limits on energy development to incentives for habitat conservation, and adds the proposed bird transplant from Montana.
Montana wildlife officials are trying to determine whether its population is stable enough to lose 30 females; if so, they will be brought next spring to North Dakota's Bowman County.
It's critical that the females meld into the existing population, according to Brian Rutledge, of Fort Collins, Colo., who oversees the National Audubon Society's Sage Brush Initiative.
"Frankly, the success rate (of transplants in other states) has not been great," Rutledge said. "That's largely because we've been trying to restore birds to areas where they no longer exist."
Moving the birds across state borders is unusual, Robinson said, though the birds in southeast Montana, northwest South Dakota and southwest North Dakota are part of one big population.
"We're just taking birds essentially from the same overall population and trying to bolster areas where the birds aren't doing as well," he said.
If the first transplant be successful, another 30 birds will move in 2015. The total cost of the project is estimated at $170,000, with Game and Fish covering half and Fish and Wildlife the other half.
The North Dakota Petroleum Council, a trade association supporting more than 350 energy companies, said it supports efforts to keep wildlife species from being listed as endangered. A council task force is reviewing the Game and Fish's sage grouse plan in advance of an Aug. 1 comment deadline, Vice President Kari Cutting said.
The Little Missouri Grazing Association, which represents ranchers in the region, has no immediate concerns about the potential transplant of birds, President Brian Gerbig said. The association already is doing work to monitor the condition of sage grouse habitat, hoping to show that cattle can co-exist with the birds, he said.
"We're trying to do what we can to keep them off the endangered species list," he said. "I don't think anyone can predict what that would lead to."

El Salvador with its 5.7 million inhabitants (in addition over 2 million residing abroad) is a middle income country with profound inequalities in distribution of wealth (GINI: 0.52) and persisting profound levels of poverty.
The food and nutritional security situation is of concern with an estimated 16.3 percent of rural families not having sufficient earnings to cover the costs of the basic food basket. Under-nutrition figures are also worrisome: chronic under-nutrition among children under 5 years of age is 18.9% nationally, reaching 25.6% in rural areas and nearly 50% in the most vulnerable and marginal locations. Respiratory infections and diarrhea continue to be the main causes of morbidity among children.
Over the past 10 years, the country has been harshly hit by natural disasters, the most significant of which have been Hurricane Mitch (1998), two earthquakes affecting mostly affecting the Western region (2001), as well as Tropical Storm Stan (2005). In addition to their direct impact on the life and livelihoods of thousands, this chain of disasters perpetrates the cycle of poverty and under-nourishment among the most vulnerable communities. It is anticipated that the country's vulnerability to disasters will further deteriorate due to the effects of climate change.
The already fragile situation of vulnerability to food and nutritional insecurity among large part of the poor urban and rural population has been exacerbated over the last two years by the global phenomenon of food prices increases, which severely impacted poor Salvadoran households' purchasing power and access to appropriate food and nutrition. As a result, rural families started engaged in potentially harmful coping strategies. Moreover, official statistics indicate that during the period 2006-2007, poverty has deepened and become more widespread, rising from 30.7 to 34.6 % of the total population.
In this context, WFP El Salvador played a critical role by:
- Providing analytical tools and inputs, for instance by launching and coordinating a regional study and by hosting a regional forum on Markets, Prices and Food and Nutritional Security in Central America. These initiatives provided fresh insights on the dynamics of the problem, and allowed in-depth information sharing for decision makers; and
- Complementing and accompanying the efforts of the Government of El Salvador in strengthening social protection initiatives and programmes, as well as food production and income generation interventions.
WFP activities
WFP is working to connect farmers in El Salvador to markets through the Purchase for Progress initiative. Learn more
In El Salvador WFP works with a wide range of partners including Government, regional and international institutions, NGOs, the UN system and the private sector, and at different levels, from policy development to operational implementation in the field. The key areas of intervention can be rapidly summarized as follows:
- School Meals This is one of WFP's flagship programmes in the country, which was successfully institutionalized under the full responsibility of the Ministry of Education at the end of 2007. Most important, the very successful hand over to Government resulted in a further strengthening of the partnership between the two institutions, with the signing of a new agreement whereby WFP is assisting national institutions in the procurement, logistics and capacity development of the National School Feeding Programme, now reaching over 875,000 school children in about 4150 schools.
- Mother and Child Health and Nutrition interventions targeting roughly 55,000 vulnerable children under five, lactating mothers and pregnant women, in collaboration with and support to the Ministry of Health's services.
- Regional Relief and Recovery Operation, implemented to protect vulnerable populations and enhance their ability to respond to recurrent economic and natural disasters shocks. It includes relief, food-for-work and food-for-asset as well as capacity development activities with an emphasis on agricultural production and income diversification.
- Purchase for Progress (P4P): Through this new modality WFP seeks to reduce agricultural households' vulnerability to food insecurity by leveraging its purchasing power, strengthening local production capacity and stimulating local food markets.
- Emergency Preparedness and Response: WFP El Salvador provides leadership and support at both the national and regional level in this competence area, including:
a) managing the WFP Regional Humanitarian Response Centre for Central America (which since its establishment in mid-2007 already assisted major emergencies in Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Belize and others);
b) leading the development of innovative web based Early-Warning Systems (SATCAweb, or Sistema de Alerta Temprana para Centro America), which has improved the system wide capacity to anticipate potential natural disasters;
c) strengthening national and regional Food Security Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance Systems to help take informed decisions and anticipate nutritional crisis; as well as
d) by working on disaster preparedness, mitigation and response competences and capacities always in support to national and regional institutions.
- Capacity development and Public Policies: WFP El Salvador is a strong advocate of capacity development activities, which cut across the intervention areas of the CO; and it works intensively in supporting national institutions in public policy development, with a special focus on policies directed to enhancing social protection for the most vulnerable, and fighting child hunger and undernutrition.
- Finally, WFP El Salvador is currently working on strengthening its focus on Climate Change issues, given the country's high vulnerability and the potential consequences that the CC phenomena is expected to have on people food and nutritional security.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — More than three months after Ukraine's president fled to Russia in the wake of months of street protests, Petro Poroshenko was sworn in Saturday as the troubled country's new president. The billionaire, widely called "the Chocolate King" because his fortune is rooted in the candy business, faces huge challenges posed by the violent insurgency in Ukraine's east and the country's stumbling, corruption-plagued economy. A look at Poroshenko and what's ahead for him:
The 48-year-old, who is estimated by Forbes magazine to be worth $1.6 billion, started his rise by importing cocoa beans into the Soviet Union in 1991. The project ballooned into the immensely popular candy manufacturer Roshen, the foundation of a business empire that now includes ship-building and one of the country's most influential TV stations.
Unlike many other Ukrainian billionaires, Poroshenko did not make his money in murky post-Soviet privatizations, boosting his reputation as a "good tycoon."
Poroshenko began his political career in 1998 as a lawmaker in a Russia-friendly party and went on in 2001 to help found Party of Regions, the political engine behind ousted president Viktor Yanukovych. But in 2004 he threw his weight behind the Orange Revolution protests that arose after fraud-plagued presidential elections.
He served as head of national security for a few months, but stepped down after months of feuding with the prime minister and allegations of improperly trying to help one of Ukraine's major tycoons. He later returned to serve as foreign minister, and briefly as economics minister after Yanukovych came to power in 2010. He catapulted back into the public eye by allying himself early and openly with the anti-Yanukovych protest movement that broke out in late November 2013.
Supporters regard his moving among factions as a sign of pragmatism amid Ukraine's highly polarized politics. Poroshenko allied with a potential rival, former boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, endorsing him for Kiev mayor as Klitschko endorsed Poroshenko for president.
Poroshenko supports signing an association agreement with the European Union, but has spoken against holding a vote on whether Ukraine should seek NATO membership. He says it's important to mend ties with Russia quickly; relations with Moscow should be equal and should not undermine Ukrainians' desire for closer ties with the European Union, he says.
Poroshenko faces a growing pro-Russian uprising in the east of the country, where officials say more than 200 people have been killed in clashes between insurgents and Ukrainian forces.
Moments after being sworn in, Poroshenko called on armed groups to lay down their weapons and offered amnesty to "those who do not have blood on their hands. " He also promised dialogue with citizens in the east, but not with the insurgents who have declared two regions to be independent "peoples' republics."
Ukraine's cash-strapped government, desperate to receive the full $17 billion loan package promised by the International Monetary Fund, will have to undertake serious reforms early in Poroshenko's tenure as president.
Poroshenko also faces a major hurdle in encouraging lawmakers in parliament to agree to hold elections this year instead of in 2017 as scheduled. If he fails, he could face the same challenges as the Orange Revolution government, which took two years to hold parliamentary elections and soon became bogged down by infighting.

We just got back from a wonderful 3 day trip using our Military Salute tickets. Such a great deal!
DH - not such a Disney fan, but a good sport
The boys and I arrived Friday morning and were in the parks from 10am-5:30pm. The lines were no more than 25 minutes for most rides and if longer, we grabbed FP's. We had a fabulous day, but the 4am wake up to catch our 7am flight caught up with all of us. We opted to go back to the hotel and head to dinner. I guess we were in wishful thinking mode and did not realize how busy the parks would be on Saturday and Sunday. Geez! It was super crowded and by 1-2pm, shoulder to shoulder crowds. The four of us stuck together on Saturday and got quite a lot in as we strategized our ways through both parks. Sunday, we started out at the gates at opening. We had 7 rides in DL under our belts by 10:30am or so. We could see that wait times were increasing a lot and could feel the crowd presence. We now had a 12:50 Space Mountain return time. I gave the boys the option to take off and do all the big stuff they wanted to do over in CA. They accomplished a lot of "Screamin" which is their favorite beside TOT. Meanwhile, DH and I did tea cups, small world, splash mountain, and enchanted tiki room with a dole whip. All the things the boys want no part of anymore. We met back at Pizza Port for lunch. The boys did SM twice which was great. We then headed to toon town just for fun since we were not waiting in long lines. No way. After that we all headed back to CA for TOT FP's and the symphony swings which we all love. Lines, Lines, and more lines. My youngest son has been keeping track of our mileage all weekend and declares that we've walked 28 miles since Friday. We all decided to take a break at the Sonoma Terrace. After that, we headed to TOT for two last rides...boo hoo. Our trip was finished. Headed to GCH for our Uber ride to SNA. Until next time.

Yes it does!
Jennifer Aniston was on The Kyle & Jackie Show (radio) the other day talking about her hair. Apparently her hair crush is Kate Moss:
"We all want somebody else's hair. I love Kate Moss's hair. It's that rolled-out-of-bed look. Somehow she can wear a couture dress and just have that. I've tried to do that but it doesn't work."
Yes, yes it does!
It DOES work on Jen.
It definitely worked on her in 2004 at the Emmy Awards with a strapless white dress and Brad Pitt.
You know, she hasn't worn her hair that long in a long time. It looks great on her. I wish she'd grow it again. Or is that some over 40 rule? Because if it is, I'm breaking it next month. There is no way I'm going mom-length for a new decade.
As for Jen, now that I know about Real or Fake, the secret behind celebrity hair – click here for a refresher – I'm wondering if that was all hers or whether or not it's Brazilian Virgin Remy coloured the perfect shade of honey.
In other Jennifer Aniston hair news, she also said she'd rather shave her head than do the Rachel for life. This is a fun game. What's your celebrity hair equivalent of the Rachel? And don't say Lady Gaga or some such that's meant to be ridiculous. It has to be relatively standard. Like, for me, it's Elisabeth Moss's hair from the Emmys last year. Remember?
And you?

Therefore, the Commission requested that FairPoint verify the amounts it alleged it was owed.

Romney knows what women want: More Ann
His female surrogates on the campaign trail — including New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley — have taken the same tack. Rather than making assurances that Romney relates directly to women voters, they too admit that he uses Ann as a sort-of female translator, deciphering their concerns and relaying them to the candidate. Instead of supplementing his own pitch to women, Romney seems to use his female surrogates to remove himself from the equation entirely.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Hundreds in Baghdad mourned on Tuesday a Shiite fighter killed in Syria, one of an unknown number of Iraqis who went to fight in the neighboring country for what they consider a religious duty to protect Shiite shrines.
The Syrian conflict began with peaceful protests against President Bashar Assad's regime in March 2011 but deteriorated into an all-out civil war after a violent government crackdown. The U.N says more than 93,000 people have been killed and millions displaced by the fighting.
The civil war is increasingly being fought along sectarian lines, with Sunnis dominating the rebel ranks while the Assad regime is mostly made up of Alawites, an offshoot sect of Shiite Islam. The fighting is threatening the stability of Syria's neighbors — including Iraq.
Iraq finds itself increasingly drawn into the conflict. Al-Qaida-linked Sunni militants from Iraq are cooperating with hard-line Islamists among the Syrian rebels, while Shiite fighters are joining militiamen from Lebanon's Hezbollah to fight alongside Assad's Iranian-backed regime.
A spokesman for Iraq's Hezbollah Brigades, which has been sending fighters to Syria, said the 50-year old Hameed Abdul-Hassan al-Missari was killed three days ago. Sheik Saad al-Showaily would not discuss the circumstances of al-Missari's death, but said he was killed while "defending" the revered Shiite shrine of Sayida Zeinab outside the capital, Damascus. He added that al-Missari had left for Syria two months ago.
Members of Iraq's Hezbollah Brigades in military uniforms carried the casket wrapped in the group's yellow flag. Other mourners at the funeral procession in Baghdad's Shiite district of Kazimiyah held the slain fighter picture and shouted: "We are at your disposal, Zeinab."
Iraq's government has stayed neutral in the Syrian conflict, repeatedly calling for a peaceful, political solution to the crisis. It denies having any role in sending fighters.

Existing drug and biologics GMP regulations and guidelines that address particulate quality apply either to the external cleanroom environment or to the finished drug product itself, after filling in its final dosage container. In addition to the inspection of final dosage units for visible particles (e.g., per USP <1> Injections), injectable drug products are also subject to lot sample testing for microscopic particles (e.g., per USP <788> Particulate Matter in Injections) (1, 2). Similar tests exist under the European Pharmacopoeia 2.9.19 and Japan Pharmacopoeia 6.06 (3, 4). For global harmonization, these tests have also been incorporated into International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Q4B (5).
In contrast to finished injectable dosage units, process equipment, including single-use systems, is not directly regulated under drug or biologics GMP. Consequently, there are no regulations or guidelines for the particulate quality of final filter effluents, single-use filling equipment fluid paths, final bulk drug containers, or even finished drug product dosage containers prior to filling. By themselves, these components and systems do not fall within the scope of GMP regulations, which focus on finished drug products.However, regulatory authorities recognize the potential influence of the process equipment fluid path when in contact with final bulk drug formulation. For example, US 21 CFR Part 211.65 states, "Equipment shall be constructed so that surfaces that contact components, in-process materials, or drug products shall not be reactive, additive, or absorptive so as to alter the safety, identity, strength, quality, or purity of the drug product beyond the official or other established requirements"(6).
While particulate quality of process equipment is not specified, drug manufacturers must ensure that process equipment does not adversely impact the quality of the final drug product. This requires the single-use system user to establish that reasonable controls are in place to ensure that process equipment does not cause the drug product to fail particulate quality specifications.

Gap's pay raise has gotten the attention of job seekers.
After announcing plans in February to increase hourly wages to $10 by 2015, employment applications at the Gap and Old Navy chains have surged by at least 10 percent from a year earlier, the San Francisco-based company said.
The clothing seller has seen applications increase across all of its brands – including Banana Republic and Athleta – though the effect has been especially striking at the lower-end Old Navy chain, where the number of job seekers had been declining. That's giving the retailer a better selection of potential workers, said Lynn Albright, vice president for Old Navy stores.
"That we'd be able to be more competitive and attractive in getting the best talent we can find – that's where the benefit will come," Albright said Monday after speaking at the White House Summit on Working Families. "The more choices you have, the better selection you can make. It's so important to have the best brand ambassadors we can find."
Gap Chief Executive Officer Glenn Murphy announced the plan to boost hourly pay for U.S. employees to $9 in 2014 then and $10 the following year during an employee conference call in February. The move will benefit about 65,000 store employees by 2015, the company said. While Gap already typically pays more than the minimum wage in most markets, the move was called a strategic investment to "do more than sell clothes."
The effort also added fodder to a national debate on whether the federal government needs to raise the minimum wage. President Barack Obama, who praised Gap's decision, wants to increase the rate to $10.10 an hour from $7.25, saying it will bolster the economy and reduce income inequality. Most Republican lawmakers oppose the idea.
New associates are now coming to Old Navy with more experience, often from other retailers that don't pay as well, Albright said. In the long run, Gap expects the more qualified associates to help drive sales by improving customers' experiences.
More than 70 percent of shoppers across Gap's brands do research online before they come to the store, and they expect employees to know the products, Albright said.
"It's still really important our store associates are just as engaged," she said. "The customer is more educated, so the store associate has to be more knowledgeable."
