Finally something both sides agree on. This train is absurdity at its finest. It is cheaper to fly and it only takes 30 minutes to get to SF. Yes, I know add in all the traffic to the airport, and security to board, it's longer than the 30 minutes in the air, but you will have driving traffic and security on the train also. Thus, the cheaper and faster airplane will always win out over the train. We are building a $68 billion dollar old folks day trip train.
The folks in Texas and Mississippi are laughing at us Tomcat. They rightly should be.

In many of the best vineyards in Piedmont this past weekend, it looked more like January than early September just before harvest. Most vines had been stripped of their leaves, although they still carried a crop of battered grapes four days after a massive hailstorm ripped through parts of the region's Barolo-producing territory.
The hail did the most damage in the vineyards near the town of La Morra, one of the greatest areas for legendary Barolos, and left many grapegrowers stunned by the prospect of not bringing in a crop for the 2002 vintage.
"As a result of the storm, I won't be harvesting the Cannubi vineyard this year," said vintner Luciano Sandrone. Cannubi, near the town of Barolo, produces grapes for Sandrone's highly regarded Barolo Cannubi Boschis. "The vines still have a few leaves, and the grapes are still attached," he explained, "but they are damaged to the extent that no winemaking technique could possibly remedy."
During a three-day visit to the region, Wine Spectator interviewed more than a dozen producers, and Sandrone echoed the view of most on the thoroughness of the hail's destruction.
Government controllers are in the vineyards this week, still assessing the extent of the damage, but reports coming in from all around the Barolo-producing area suggest that few zones were left completely untouched by the hail. This may mean that consumers are unlikely to see many Barolos on the market in 2006.
Barolo producer Elio Altare said there would definitely be no 2002 vintage of his top-quality BaroloVigneto Arborina. He added, "The hailstorm missed two of my vineyards, so I may be able to make some Barolo from these -- maybe a quarter of the usual quantity -- but only if the weather allows the grapes to mature properly, so that I can make decent wine."
Before the Sept. 3 storm, weather conditions during the growing season had been some of the worst seen in decades, according to veteran winemaker Bruno Giacosa, who, at 73, has witnessed more Piedmont vintages than most. "I've never seen a vintage like this before," he said. "Just rain, rain and more rain."
Giacosa reported that his holdings in Barbaresco, in the Asili and Rabajà vineyards, were untouched by the hail. However, the Falletto vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, from which he makes his Barolo Falletto and Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto, suffered up to 70 percent damage.
"But I'll be making neither Barolo nor Barbaresco this year," he said. "The grapes are full of water, and there's no way they are going to mature properly. Disease and mold are spreading through the vineyards too. It would have been better if the hail had taken everything."
Other producers, with vineyards in areas less affected by the storm, said they were still resisting total pessimism. In fact, one of the most frequently repeated statements heard over the weekend was: "If the sun comes out tomorrow, and we get a hot dry period from now till the harvest, we should be able to salvage something."
Weather forecasts for the area, however, offered little hope, predicting unstable weather, with clouds and rain for the foreseeable future.
Roberto Voerzio, one of the best Barolo producers in La Morra (his 1997 Barolo Brunate scored 100 points), went out the day after the storm to try to salvage some Dolcetto from his vineyard below the town of La Morra. He said, "The smell of volatile acidity in the air was so strong that we just dumped the grapes on the ground and went home."
Having already determined that his Barolo-making vines in the Brunate, La Serra, Cerequio and Sarmassa vineyards are unworkable, Voerzio is resigned. "This year is over for me. So I might as well start thinking about next year."

MSM Rebels on Edwards
Oddly, some journalists want to know the truth.
But the MSM wants photos:Dallas Morning News' Rod Dreher, like many, complains about the lack of photographs. ... Kf says the night is young! ... Would video do? ... 1:01 P.M.
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
"At least 10 Eyewitnesses": Death By 1000 Papercuts interviews David Perel, editor of the National Enquirer, about the Edwards/Rielle Hunter scoop (excerpt):
Mondo: You have more updates planned on this latest installment?
DP: We'll be updating the story several times. We're not finished yet.
Mondo: Any other comments?
DP: We were looking for the "smoking gun": time, place, day and date. Edwards could always "deny, deny, deny". Now, Edwards can't deny being at the Beverly Hilton and visiting Rielle Hunter. There were at least 10 eyewitnesses to the affair of Edwards running on the stairs and ducking into the restroom.
There were seven reporters on the story, according to Perel. DBKP adds that Edwards ran into "at least one Enquirer photographer" when "trying to make his escape." ... So will one of the "updates" include photos? Did the photographer forget to take off the lens cap? 11:53 P.M.
"Get it first, but first get it second." The old Newsweek rule! I hope that's the rule the MSM is following. If so, here's an MSM mention! And here. Business Week is what, chopped liver? And doesn't Jack Shafer count? ... I fear there is a new rule: "We don't want to get it at all. Not even just a mention of the 'allegation.' Not even second." Why? Jon Fine's Business Week piece summarizes some likely reasons. A couple of points:
--Fine notes that "Edwards isn't considered a likely vice-presidential candidate by the press." That's true. But he is a likely Obama cabinet official. Many Dems would like to see him as Attorney-General. That's what's at stake in the love-child coverage. The Enquirer has killed him as a VP candidate. But if the MSM goes into full "protect Elizabeth" mode the damage might yet not quite be enough to stop his confirmation by a Democratic Senate next year. "Protect Elizabeth" = "protect A.G. John."
--If the Enquirer story is true, Edwards didn't just cheat on his sick wife after making a big deal of his loyalty to her in the campaign. He also presided over an elaborate cover-up, involving lies and duplicitous lobbying of the MSM. What is it the CW says about cover-ups? Eliot Spitzer looks like a Boy Scout in comparison.
P.S.: If the MSM can discuss the charges in meta form ("It's so easy to jump to conclusions---and I admit, this looks bad") in blogs, chat rooms, and in press commentaries, why not on the front page in political commentaries? As things stand, here's a rundown of media performance on the John Edwards front:
--The New York Times doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--The print edition of the Washington Post doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--Newsweek doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--Time doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--Katie Couric didn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--Brian Williams didn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--Charlie Gibson didn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--RealClearPolitics doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
-- HuffingtonPost doesn't tell you what happened yesterday (and it's their story!). I blame the commenters.
--Mark Halperin doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--Mark Ambinder doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
--One Roger Simon tells you what happened yesterday--but the other Roger Simon doesn't!

Outlander's Engine wrote:There were fewer people involved in the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the scope was much more limited.
No there weren't, and no it wasn't. Actually, more people signed the Declaration than the Constitution (55 and 39, respectively). I'm not sure what you mean by "the scope was much more limited." The Confederation Congress certainly was not limited as compared to the Constitutional Convention.
True. But I thought we were having a sideline conversation about what the founders believed, where this sort of document, some or most of which were crafted by members of the original framers, would be relevant.
Since the framers saw fit to mention the militia in the Constitution, it merely underscores the non-existence of a consensus on these things (and thus the futility of searching for one). The omission of militias in state constitutions is not more significant than the inclusion of the militia in the United States Constitution. Also, this again takes acceptance of the doctrine of original intent for granted.
In that case, we would compare hit men to the police.
Police are not hit men. We're either looking at criminals and citizens having access to the exact same things, or we're not.
I don't disagree with it. If you can point where I was ambiguous I can try to clarify myself. I flat out agree that some restrictions are acceptable. You don't let children or mentally incompetent people play with fire-arms. I think you can extend that to those who have proven they can't be trusted, e.g. felons.So restrictions do not automatically infringe on the Second Amendment. I'm a bit confused that you seem to disagree with this, since you concede that some restrictions are acceptable.
However, that was a right or duty reserved for the states. Not the federal government.[/quote]
Since the second amendment has been incorporated, that's rather a moot point to argue.

Volta Algarve 2013
Passive agressive Froome
The podium is wrapped up, the guy leading the stage is hobbling home. The second placed rider is probably told to stay with his Yellow Jersey teammate. Froome has been a valuable teammate to Wiggins Tour bid this year and Froome has looked stronger with little flashes of strength and inadvertent dropping of Wiggins in key moments.
Today's display with Froome looking back at Wiggins, waving his hands seemed like a passive aggressive move.
Voekler as a mime
Thomas Voekler had two amazing wins at this year's Tour de France. His facial expressions are part of the Voekler show. Seems like everything Thomas does is punctuated by exaggerated movements and expressions. This type of behavior reminds me of the French artform of Mimes. Imagine if Thomas Voekler never discovered a bike, he would probably be a Mime. Here is my poor photoshop simulation of what Tommy V would look like in another life.
Will Wiggins Crack?
The battle for the Mailliot Jaune at the Tour looks like it is a done deal. Bradley Wiggins has been winning stage races all year, his Team Sky looks rock solid and the time gains in the TT look insurmountable. Seems like we may have seen this play out before in the Armstrong and Indurain eras when a solid lead in the first week TT demoralizes the competition and the following two weeks are more or less a procession to see who fills out the podium. This could likely be the case, but this is not Indurain or Armstrong going for the win. Wiggins still has not won a Grand Tour with his stage race domination coming in week long stage races.
Wiggins leads but he has some very experienced Grand Tour winners who are not ready to give up so easily chasing him. Vincenzo Nibali won the 2010 Vuelta, Cadel Evans is defending Tour champ and Denis Menchov won the Vuelta and the Giro. These guys have been through the rigors of Grand Tours and won. They know what it takes to conserve energy and when to attack.
Memories of the Vuelta may still haunt Wiggins. Bradley Wiggins cracked in the last week of the Vuelta last year and lost the race to Juan Jose Cobo on the brutal Angrliu climb.
Wiggins clearly cracked on the Angrilu.
Froome vs Cobo as Wiggins is clearly off the back.
In 2009 Wiggins was as high as third place before he dropped down to sixth after a mountain stage attack by the Schlecks. Wiggins eventually gained back some places in the TT to finish forth.
From Wiggins Grand Tour history it looks like he is susceptible to losing time in the third week mountain stages.

EDMONTON - Good night Nurse.
Edmonton Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse, who surprisingly saw action in four exhibition games when many thought he'd only get one or two as the team's 2013 first-round draft pick, was sent back to his junior team in Sault Ste. Marie after the Oilers' 5-3 pre-season win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.
Nurse played almost 20 minutes and had an assist on Jordan Eberle's goal, going plus 2 in what turned out to be his last pre-season game. But he was a victim of the numbers game. He's just 18 and the Oilers, who are only going to carry seven defenceman, don't see him in their top six and don't want him being a spectator when he could be playing 30 minutes a night in the Soo.
Still, Nurse was clearly stung by the news.
"If anyone thinks it feels good to get cut, they're lying to you. It sucks, there's nothing good about it," said Nurse, the seventh overall pick in the 2013 draft, who was released along with fellow blueliner Taylor Fedun — who had a terrific camp but has a two-way contract.
Also getting the bad news were centre Anton Lander and winger Tyler Pitlick, neither of whom have to clear waivers, with Pitlick surprising the coaching staff with his enthusiastic work.
"The Oilers think this is best for my development and I'm going to go back and dominate my league and hopefully, play in the world juniors," said Nurse, who felt he'd show lots from his tool box — his toughness, his ability to move the puck, his willingness to take on attacking players.
Nurse didn't seem awestruck at all but the Oilers, in line with the time-honoured tradition of NHL clubs, usually send their first-rounders back to junior if they can't guarantee they'll be regulars in the toughest league in the world. Nurse needs to be more ice savvy and admitted before being told he was cut that "I made some dumb reads out there" in the Rangers game.
That being said, Nurse was as good as advertised at the draft. He could be another Jason Smith with more offensive upside and that would be huge for the Oilers, who need more sandpaper on defence.
Nurse said he had never been cut from a team before, but didn't think he left anything on the table in his pre-season.
"I gave everything I had and if anyone told me I'd have been around this long, everyone would have laughed," said Nurse. "There were lots of people who didn't think I'd have been here at this point."
He fought the puck a bit against the Rangers on Tuesday night but, on the whole, showed more than a few flashes that indicate he will be a very good NHLer.
"I came in as a prepared as I could," he said. "I was fuelled by the fact that so many people said I wasn't good enough to keep up at this level. I proved a few people wrong, but I still have a lot of room to grow as a player and as a person."
Nurse joked earlier in the day that "every day you come to the rink, you just hope your stuff is still in your stall." But it won't be Thursday when the Oilers practise in Oklahoma City in advance of a Friday game against the Dallas Stars.
"It's a learning experience," he said. "Like I said, it sucks, but I'll be all right in the end."
"This is a first (not making the grade), but it's a bitter taste of reality. I'll go back and I have a team to lead (in Sault Ste. Marie) and they're counting on me a lot."
The Oilers are counting on centre Sam Gagner, too, but general manager Craig MacTavish told TSN in an interview he would be out two months after surgery Tuesday to repair a broken jaw.
Without Gagner and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder rehab), the Oilers still rolled over the Rangers. David Perron got his fourth and fifth goals of pre-season, Ben Eager scored short-handed and Taylor Hall, now the No. 1 centre, got the other one as the Oilers ran their pre-season record to 5-1-1.
Nurse was philosophical Tuesday morning about his chances.
"No competitor comes into camp to get cut … you come into camp to make as good an impression as you can. I'm trying to enjoy this whole process and no matter what, I'm 18 years old," he said.
We forget that. He's a teenager, born in 1995, one year after Oilers veteran Ryan Smyth was drafted.
"I thought he struggled (against New York) in our zone in the third period, but I think he had a good game," said head man Dallas Eakins, who loved Nurse's work but has to get down to more manageable numbers with only one pre-season game left.
Opposing players were chirping Nurse throughout pre-season, firing off trash talk, a sign of respect. They knew he was. "I grew up in a sports family (his dad, Richard, was a receiver in the CFL and his uncle Donovan McNabb was a star NFL quarterback) and they always said people will try to intimidate you, but that's good. They said you will be challenged. You have to stand up for yourself," said Nurse.
There's no problem there. Nurse truly looks like he could be a Jason Smith type, somebody who arrives at every puck carrier in ill humour. He just has to fill out. He's packing 193 pounds on a six-foot-three frame now.
Nurse was a sponge throughout camp, picking up pointers wherever he could.
"That's one of the best things about coming to camps like this. I can sit back and absorb as much as I can, on the ice and in the room. I ask a lot of questions about strategy," said Nurse.
Eakins didn't t necessarily buy the cliché that kids can't sit at the NHL level, not if they have junior eligibility left — or at least he said that Tuesday morning.
"I'm not much for time-honoured theories. I just like to make the right call," said Eakins. "You have to be careful with the young players. I don't think it's that big a deal to be out of the lineup (in the NHL) every once in a while and have protected minutes, but sitting for long periods or getting a few minutes (a night) doesn't make sense."
"And there are things going on off the ice. We have to think about where he fits in, can we develop his leadership role better if we send him back to junior? There's so many things that go into this thought process."

Is America Safer Under Barack Obama? >
Obama Got Bin Laden, but Other Threats Have Grown
Threats to national security have grown more dangerous under Obama
May 2, 2012
Bin Laden and many of his followers were eliminated on President Obama's watch, but other threats to national security have grown more dangerous.
- Relations with Pakistan are at an all-time low over the Predator drone strikes, moving the country more emphatically in the direction of Islamist extremism.
- Afghanistan is more unstable and has much less prospect for a good outcome than it did before Obama's arrival because of mixed signals on the numbers and length of stay of US troops.
- Obama's failure to extend the Bush-era Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq has squandered our hard-won gains and placed the country firmly in Iran's embrace.
- By abandoning Mubarak, Obama has seen Egypt, the demographic giant of the Arab Muslim world, go from a problematic ally to a dangerously hostile regime led by the Muslim Brotherhood—the well spring of Islamist fundamentalism.
- Obama facilitated regime change in Libya, where Qadhafi was no threat to the U.S., but he opposes it in Syria, where Assad has actively attacked U.S. interests from the start of his regime.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
- Iran is closer to having a nuclear bomb than when Obama took office. Inexplicably, he recognized the "Islamic Republic" and refused to support the Green movement protests after the stolen election of 2009; continued to rely on sanctions the U.S. Intelligence community says have not slowed its nuclear program in the least; and has publicly lectured and sought to embarrass the Netanyahu government, while openly divulging details of Israeli preemptive strike planning against Iran's nuclear sites.
- Obama's "re-set" of relations with Russia has yielded nothing of practical value (they still provide cover for Syria and Iran). By reneging on the missile shield agreement with the Poles and Czechs, and whispering in the Russian president's ear about having "more flexibility" on watering-down U.S. capabilities, Obama made the U.S. look gullible and duplicitous in the eyes of disenchanted former close allies.
- Most critically, Obama has added more debt in one term of office (projected at nearly $6 trillion) than Bush did in two ($4.9 trillion), and has shown no inclination to arrest its growth. As a result, all branches of the military face what both Bob Gates and Leon Panetta have called "devastating" cutbacks, America's preeminence in manned space flight was brought to an end, and China is using its growing economic capacity to purchase influence around the world through development projects that were once the hallmark of American soft power.
Any talk of safety and security without addressing these issues is self-delusion.

What's your favorite scary movie?
It's as easy as that. Head over to The Film Reel - http://www.the-filmreel.com/contest/ and just leave your name and your favorite scary movie in the comments section and you're entered for a chance to win. What's a contest without some great prizes right? Here's what we have so far.
1 GRAND PRIZE winner will get a custom shirt designed by friend of The Film Reel Eric Francisco with some added extras by Will (that's me!) It's a large so you can either shrink it in the wash, stretch it out or hope it fits! Check it out.
There's actually only 3 of those shirts made. There would have been only one but both my kids wanted one. At least you can say that it's pretty limited! The winner will also get a classic Ghostface figure. I know, it's half plastic and half cloth but it's free right!
Of course the GRAND PRIZE winner also gets their choice of the Scream Trilogy on either DVD or Blu-ray.
You didn't think that was all did you! The SECOND PRIZE winner will get a Zombie Ghostface figure, which you can also see above, and their choice of the Scream Trilogy on either DVD or Blu-ray.
Now, my good friends over at HorrorBid.com wanted to throw some prizes in there and I've been told that they have a mystery box full of goodies on the way to their offices right now. Nobody knows what's in the box yet so we're all waiting to see what it is. HorrorBid.com and The Film Reel are going to see what's inside that box and start splitting up prizes. This means that the GRAND PRIZE winner and the SECOND PRIZE winner may be getting even more goodies. Depending on how much is in that mystery box, we may also start handing out even more prizes to people so get your entry in and make sure you get a chance at all the great stuff we have to offer.
Of course there's always rules involved so lets get them out of the way.
1. One entry per household. Plain and simple. No stacking the deck here. If you want to get your Grandma to enter from her house than that's fine. Just make sure that Grandma doesn't throw your package out if she wins and we ship it to her.
2. You have to tell us your favorite scary movie. If you don't do that how are we supposed to count your entry.
3. While the contest is open to anyone, keep in mind that these are R1 flicks so I can't promise that they're going to work everywhere.
4. The Film Reel and HorrorBid.com is not responsible for any additional charges that may occur. We'll ship it to you but if someone somewhere wants to hold it at the border to charge you an arm and a leg for something weird than it'll be up to the winners to pay those charges. If it makes everyone feel better I haven't ever had anyone say their prize got held anywhere.
5. The Film Reel and HorrorBid.com have the right to refuse any entry if we feel it's necessary. I can't imagine this happening but you never know.
Now I think that covers all the bases. The contest ends on April 15th at 11:59 pm so get your entry in and then check back after you've gone out to see Scream 4 to see if you've won!

ALL-STAR System Seven Young Pro Series Baseball Catcher's Leg Guards. Redesigned shell for increased ventilation and strength. Exclusive adjustable patella plus gel knee pad. DeltaFlex harness. High impact plastic. AEGIS microbe shield.
Look for Similar Items by Category: Baseball > Catching Equipment
Product Description
ALL-STAR's Young Pro Series catcher's gear duplicates all of the same quality craftsmanship, leading edge design, and high tech features found in the equipment worn by their professional catchers. The System Seven™ leg guards are super lightweight, breathable, durable, and are designed to fit great, take abuse, and be super comfortable. Large perforated padding and vented shins help the player's legs breathe. The DeltaFlex™ harness pre-crosses the straps to keep the back of the knee free and prevent leg guards from shifting. Adjustable Patella Plus Gel™ knee pads and shin pads help keep knees healthy and eliminate bruising.
Throughout the plates, ALL-STAR took note of the areas which take the most abuse, such as the knees, and made the plastic thicker. The shape of the knee plate has been designed for stable motion. Catchers need a stable base for blocking balls and also need maneuverability while on the knees. The shin plates have 10 ventilation ports and have been designed to be customizable. The plastic is moldable, meaning if you like wearing them snug, you can squeeze the walls to bring them in. If you want them looser, flex the shin plates outward. Patella Plus Gel™ Technology has been incorporated into the knee pads. This gel has an extended life compared to the original Patella Plus pad and also provides more cushion and support. Padding which cradles the knee is critical to limit the common bruising on the inside of catcher's knees. Removable and machine washable lined padding has been placed in the shin as well. Specific to the left and right shins, the padding not only increases the protection level, but also lets the catcher customize his leg guards fit by adjusting the positioning of the pad.
- Redesigned shell for increased ventilation and strength
- Exclusive adjustable Patella Plus Gel™ knee pad
- DeltaFlex™ harness
- High impact plastic
- AEGIS Microbe Shield™
Ages 12-16 (14.5" Length)
Ages 9-12 (13" Length)
*For leg guard size, measure from center of the kneecap to bottom of shin.*

vacation rental description
Enjoy resort living in the treetops overlooking a pool and spa at our luxe 4th-floor condo, Palm Coast Resort 405. The Intracoastal Waterway is just a minute away, along with a marina and nature trails. You'll love our spacious, newly furnished condo! Palm Coast Resort 405 is in a lovely building on the shores of the Intracoastal. Two elevators are available to whisk you to the 4th floor, from which you have panoramic views of the old-growth oaks, resort amenities, and Intracoastal. Our screened lanai is like a treehouse, giving you the perfect bird's-eye view of the lovely scenery in this part of northeastern Florida! Step in from the lanai and you're in our huge, open-plan living and dining area. The living room is tiled, with a ceiling fan, ultra-comfortable couches, and a big HDTV with DVD player, just perfect for unwinding after a busy day on the boat or the golf course. Big sliding glass doors give you a sweeping view, and there is plenty of room to relax and get comfortable. Just beyond the living room is our dining area, featuring a marble-topped table and 6 chairs so comfy you'll want to linger long after the meal to reminisce or perhaps indulge in a quick game of cards. The modern light fixture over this table keeps it bright, so you can also use the space for working if need be. You have complimentary wireless Internet at Palm Coast Resort 405, so bring any electronics you want . . . or leave them all at home and enjoy an "unwired" vacation! Whether you're bringing home fresh fish every day or dining out at some of the area's magnificent restaurants, you'll appreciate our state-of-the-art kitchen. The appliances are stainless steel, the custom cabinets polished wood, and the countertops granite. Inside the cupboards you'll find a complete set of cookware, dishes, and utensils, to complement the host of time-saving appliances: microwave, blender, coffeemaker, and dishwasher. Even if you love cooking, you'll want to get back outdoors (or at least back to the lanai for another glass of wine before bed!) as quickly as possible on this vacation, so we've tried to provide everything you need to make your time in the kitchen fast and efficient! While the living and dining parts of Palm Coast Resort 405 are open and connected to keep the group together, the sleeping quarters are wonderfully private and calming. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms here, easily sleeping 6. We've provided all of the linens, blankets, pillows, and towels you need for each bed and bath, so don't worry about packing emergency extras. And feel free to use our washer and dryer while you're here! The master suite is a delight. Just off the patio (to which it has private access via a sliding glass door), it is spacious and so comfortable, boasting a queen-sized bed, plenty of storage space, and spectacular views. You'll look forward to retiring here each evening, and you must plan to sleep late at least once during your stay! The en-suite master bath is also luxurious, with a tiled walk-in shower and big soaking tub to soothe those vacation-weary muscles! If you've been accustomed to cramped hotel bathrooms, you'll really appreciate the spaciousness of this room. The second bedroom is spacious as well, with a double sleigh bed beside a large window. And the third bedroom contains 2 twin-sized beds, with plenty of sunshine and nice views. Both of these bedrooms are convenient to the second bathroom, which contains both a shower and tub option, and offers a granite-topped vanity and tiled bathtub surround. At Palm Coast Resort 405, you're just up from the sparkling swimming pool and heated, bubbly spa. Water surrounds the building on 2 sides, with the marina handy for your boat. You'll love walking along the Intracoastal, enjoying glorious sunrises and sunsets, and basking in the balmy Florida air. Come stay at Palm Coast Resort 405 very soon, and discover waterfront living at its finest!

DNT travel review: Duluth to Phoenix direct
Need a midwinter sun fix. You now can get to Phoenix on a direct flight. But first, here's a primer on this sun-soaked city.By: Christa Lawler, Duluth News Tribune
he second-biggest mistake travelers to Phoenix make, the cab driver says, is renting a car from the wrong airport.
We're on our way from Phoenix-Mesa Gateway (where we exit on the tarmac on a warm night, greeted by a cactus and a half-dozen wheelchairs) to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to pick up my mis-reserved wheels.
The cost for this lesson: $60+.
I took Allegiant Air's inaugural direct flight from Duluth to Phoenix last weekend, an event that included sheet cake at the airport, a complimentary sleeve of golf balls and the words "maiden voyage" repeated so often that I was surprised there wasn't a marching band. I spent about 65 hours in the Valley of the Sun, mostly downtown. I ate the most intense salsa I've ever had and was mistaken for a prostitute. I questioned Phoenix native Alice Cooper's legacy and watched a car melt. I studied American Indian art and history and was left alone on a bus for 10 minutes while the driver ran in to Walgreens. I was charmed by Tempe's Mill Avenue District and grossed out by the dirt undertones of the tap water.
And — because of another snafu with my car reservation at the second airport — I did it all by navigating the city's decade-old Valley Metro light rail system and city buses. This was clean and convenient and gave me the chance to gaze at the surrounding mountains, hills and reddish rock formations, rather than following a GPS or my face pressed to a map. Smart phones, with access to public transportation routes and compasses, have made travel so easy that everything pre-2000 seems like an episode of "Little House on the Prairie" in comparison.
Public transportation
The light rail system is easy. It's efficient. It's bicycle-friendly with hooks to hang them on in specified cars. The windows are tinted to block out the sun. And its passengers are oddly chatty. I hear conversations about the naming conventions of domestic airports and I see a man try to share a can of Tecate beer with a 19-year-old kid he mistakes for his nephew.
The buses, however, are empty. It's just the driver and me heading into the foothills of the South Mountains. Toward the end of the trip he pulls over at a bus stop, mumbles something and jumps off. He leaves it running, doors open, and walks into Walgreens. This seems … different. Dangerous, even.
For about the third time in my life, I wonder: "What would Sandra Bullock do?"
I get off the bus and stand next to it. The driver returns about 10 minutes later and we proceed without incident — though he doesn't find jokes about bus theft very amusing.
Best brunch in town
The first meal of the weekend for both tourists and Phoenicians — and even Food Network star Guy Fieri, who has left his graffiti-style stamp on an inside wall — is at Matt's Big Breakfast, a square brick diner where all morning long the sidewalk is crammed with rumbling tummies.
"There are 19 names ahead of ours," a woman groans to her group. They don't leave.
Most clusters gather on the somewhat shaded side of the building. It is already 85 degrees at 10 a.m. and the sun is pan-searing my blue Minnesota skin. It goes quickly, though. Will gladly trade a 45-minute wait in the slim shade of a street light in exchange for this day's special: Three-egg scramble with chicken artichoke sausage and baby organic spinach bound with Fontina cheese. The wheat toast is cut as thick as a slab of beef loin and served with blueberry jam, a concentration of flavor that rivals chutney.
A tale of two cities
Aside from the crowd outside this small diner, there is little movement in downtown Phoenix on a weekend afternoon. It has the apocalyptic feel of downtown St. Paul, so many suits evacuating on Friday at 5 p.m. The voice of a busker, stationed on North Central Avenue and East Adams Street, bounces off the buildings and is heard blocks away.
Alternately, the Mill Avenue District — located a 30-minute train ride away in the adjacent city of Tempe — has brick sidewalks, is inordinately clean and is full of activity.
It's a mix of chain and charm: Hooters and Five Guys Burgers, but also retro-style clothing store Hippie Gypsy and Old World Books, a used bookstore where a wizardly-looking man with a cane asks if he can help finding anything. I smile, say no and almost trip over a long-haired cat lounging in the stacks. Some of the restaurants with outdoor seating provide mists of water over the patio, so fine it feels like being sprinkled with cool powdered sugar.
I'm third on the scene of a car fire on Saturday afternoon, so close that at least three people ask if it's my ride. The blue Nissan Versa has flames creeping from the hood to the windshield and the car seems to melt as the fire grows. The driver and a passenger escape with their things before firefighters snuff it using hoses and an axe.
There is an intriguing butte at the foot of the Mill Avenue train stop. The hill has a massive A on the side, visible from Sun Devil Stadium, home of Arizona State football. Dot-sized hikers can be seen walking, some running, up the winding path. I find a father taking his kids through a round of calisthenics and explaining the income levels of professional athletes. It doesn't take long to get to the top, an elevation of 1,500 feet, with a view into the bowl of the Sun Devils' stadium — though not quite the field. This is fine, as the Sun Devils are on the road this weekend. When airplanes from Sky Harbor fly over this butte, it seems like I should be able to read the pilot's nametag.
From shock rock to T-shirt shop
Game nights must be wicked in downtown Phoenix, where the Arizona Diamondbacks play Major League Baseball at Chase Field and, when there isn't a lockout, the Phoenix Suns host NBA games at US Airways Center. But this Saturday is quiet — except for a pub crawl of twenty-somethings prowling the city in Mardi Gras beads and fishnet costumes or oversized mascot heads.
A purely scientific question has been eating at me for days. Q: What would a restaurant and bar owned by metal shock rocker Alice Cooper look like? Word on the street is that servers have smears of black makeup under their eyes. A: Alice Cooperstown is a barbecue-themed sports bar and restaurant with an attached souvenir shop. It has T-shirt racks. And its owner, known for maybe or maybe not ripping the head off a live chicken then drinking its blood, closes up shop by 10 p.m. on a Saturday night.
Oh, Alice Cooper. How perfectly Coldplay of you.
Mystery Castle
The bus takes me a little less than a mile from Mystery Castle, which has a back story as interesting as its actual architecture. Boyce Gulley left his wife and daughter in Seattle in the 1930s when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. He moved to the outskirts of Phoenix and began building a dream castle for his daughter, Mary Lou, using dirt, stone and the kind of stuff one would find cluttering a hoarder's lawn.
The result was an 18-room, 13-fireplace home complete with secret coves and cubbies, built-in beds and tables, balconies and patios. It took about 15 years to build, and his estranged wife and daughter didn't find out about it until after his death. They then spent the rest of their lives at the castle. Mary Lou died a year ago.
The castle sits in the foothills of South Mountain, a rocky formation with a view of a golf course and downtown Phoenix, but a half-mile from any sort of main road with nothing else around. The lawn is filled with bird baths, ceramic dogs, cactus plants and wagon wheels. Much of it is without electricity, the sun through recycled windows as its main light source.
Heard Museum
It's a challenge to resign yourself to an indoor educational activity when it is 95 degrees out and sunny. In a mental tournament between the Phoenix Art Museum, Desert Botanical Gardens and Heard Museum. The latter, specializing in American Indian art and culture, wins. A temporary exhibition of Retha Walden Gambaro's "Attitudes of Prayer" is a collection of smooth sculptures caught in contemplative and freeing moments. Also stunning is Steven Yazzie's "Fear of a Red Planet: Relocation and Removal 2000." It is a bit like an extra-large graphic novel-style mural, the story of the forced removal of Arizona's native population told in panels on the wall in the Ullman Learning Center.
Not for sale
It would be a gross oversight to not eat Mexican food on this trip. I use a combination of proximity, Phoenix's alternative weekly newspaper and the Yelp app to land at Comedor Guadalajara, located just off of downtown and next to nothing but a freeway exit.
The restaurant is a big room with a barn-style roof and the music system is piping pop music with Spanish lyrics about dancing and nighttime.
The pre-meal salsa is unreal. It's so spicy it pinches parts of my tongue I didn't even know existed and tickles my sinuses. The server keeps it coming. I have a combination platter that includes a cheese enchilada and dessert.
On my way back to the bus stop a truck honks at me twice, performs a U-turn, then pulls on to a nearby side street. The driver honks again, two short beeps. Then he drives past the stop, honks, pulls on to another side street, honks.
This is when I realize he thinks I'm a prostitute and I set a personal record in the 50-yard dash back to the restaurant's parking lot.
Leaving Phoenix
Getting from downtown Phoenix to the airport in Mesa on public transportation would require an Olympic level of juggling luggage, trains and buses, so you really need a car. Since I don't have one, my cab fare exceeds the amount the driver can accept using his archaic credit card system. This ends in a bargain: Buy a 45-mile trip, get 12 of those miles for free.
Phoenix has long been a hot spot for golfers and retirees, but I'd recommend it as a winter destination for anyone looking for a quick, inexpensive weekend getaway to melt off the layer of freezer burn that sets in about mid-February. I'd have liked to hike more, drive in the mountains and visit the kind of place where drinkers hitch horses to posts before bellying up to the bar.
The local NBA team's moniker is no joke: The best thing about Phoenix is the sun. It gets an early start and stays up late and it feels great when it bores into your back. In Phoenix you are guaranteed bright days and temps considerably higher than in the Northland — though it is relative. On an 88-degree evening, a cab driver apologized to me for the cool weather.
"Buddy, you don't even know," I thought.

Comments about MISCELLANEOUS GENr8™ Vitargo® S2 - Orange:
There are so many products out there which offer claims to bring your performance throught the roof. In reality, if all these claims were true, they would either A) Make Everyone superathletes and nobody would ever have to train and we would all be world champions in their respective sports, or B) Contain anabolic steroids.
With all these claims on the market, it is easy to look at Vitargo as being some overpriced powdered pixie dust. Until you use it, you will not realize how much of a performance advantage it provides. Due to having a unique carbohydrate structure, it is able to pass through the stomach faster than any other carbohydrate availible. It is the best recovery product I have ever used. When taken after I train, I mix it with my BCAA, Whey protein isolate, and creatine. Vitargo does the best job of any supplement indelivering these critical anabolic nutrients to the muscle. After doing a hard day of strength training and then using Vitargo, I feel worlds better the next day than if I do not. It is amazing.
All in all, while there is NO supplement which is going to replace a proper training regimen, Vitargo does an awesome job of supporting your energy and recovery needs which will allow for you to train harder on back-to-back days which will make you a beast!Displaying reviews 1-4

A candid conversation on the impact of the LGBT civil rights movement, the law and the legal tools of our trade. This plenary will ask how our practice of law can help the LGBT legal movement stem the legal ascendancy of the Right. What is the difference between pursuing equality and pursuing liberty? What is the movement's balance between the two? How do we learn from older civil rights movements? How can we overcome the obstacles — e.g., the sense of stalling; an aging leadership cadre; the numbing impact of success; and the demoralizing impact of setbacks. What are the limit of relying on remedies from the Court? This final plenary will be both provocative and inspirational for all attendees.
Speakers: Urvashi Vaid, Nan Hunter, Kenji Yoshino, Kevin CathcartHistory of the Movement
Examining "Backlash" and Attacks on Landmark Decisions from Goodridge, Brown and Roe
This panel will address the argument, heard lately with increasing frequency, that progressive goals have been undermined by over-reliance on the courts, and that the Goodridge decision on marriage equality in Massachusetts was counter-productive because it short-circuited the political process, polarized debate, and fueled the right. While focusing on Goodridge, the panel will look at how this view is mirrored by similar criticism of Roe v. Wade and Brown v. Board of Education. Are the factual premises of this backlash thesis correct? Are progressive setbacks attributable to excessive reliance on the courts? Where would we be without the landmark rights-based decisions of the last several decades? Should we approach the courts differently at this time in history? Is there a particular sensitivity to using the courts for advancing same-sex relationship recognition?
Moderator: Praveen FernandesSpeakers: Carlos Ball, Jennifer Brown, William Eskridge, Matthew McTighe
Legal Issues Facing Our Community in 2008-2012 – Where We're Going and How We Will Keep Winning!
Key leaders of major LGBT advocacy organizations share how they, and their advocacy groups, are working to achieve equality and to identify critical legal issues facing the community in the years ahead. This plenary will look at the future, from 2008 to 2012, to comport with LGBT Bar's new strategic plan.
Moderator: Julie GreenbergSpeakers: Matthew Coles , Kenneth Upton , Kate Kendell, Victoria Neilsen , Kathi Westcott , Shannon Minter
Marriage and Other Family Structures: How Did We Get Here and, By the Way, Where Are We?
Discussion of the Goodridge and Hernandez decisions vis-a-vis the largest decisions and/or pending cases from New Jersey and Washington State.
Speakers: William Eskridge, Blenda Cossman, Pat Cain, Matt ColesThe Way We Were: Legal Issues in Our Community, A History
The National LGBT Bar Association's Annual Career Fair and Conference celebrates its 20th Anniversary by featuring the wealth of people who were instrumental in starting the LGBT legal movement. This plenary consists of the foremothers and forefathers of the movement, who will provide an inspirational and historical perspective on the LGBT movement in general, and also on 20 years of Annual Career Fair and Conference history.

I met up with James the owner of HookHer tackle at 7am and we headed out to 55 feet to do some jigging. The grouper and amber jack fishing was on fire. We were using the large flutter jigs because they have great movement as they're falling through the water and are awesome if you're trying to work the bottom for grouper. The fish were biting all day; it never slowed down. We caught a ton of red and gag grouper, only a few good-sized reds, but the big gags were very aggressive . We also caught one small scamp grouper and a few red snapper. I caught one red snapper that was a monster but after I took the jig out of his mouth he shook out of my hand and I accidentally dropped him in the water so I never got a pic of the biggest one. The jigs also produced a bunch of big sea bass and grunts as well as some bonito. The bonito are a good sign because that means the kings and cobia are not far behind them. I didn't see any schools of bait yet but the bait should start showing up in April. The water temp was 57 in the morning and 59 at 3 pm when we headed in. If you're looking for some awesome vertical jigs check out http://www.hookhertackle.com/ I have been using jigs for a long time and have tried about every brand of jigs out there and these jigs are absolutely amazing. I'll be putting an order in for some flutter jigs for my shallow stuff here in the big bend and some arrow jigs for deep dropping in the Keys and the middle grounds. Only another week or so and grouper will be opened again. Get ready!!
Wow. Awesome. I only wish I could do half of that. Well done, great report and pics.
The only people that tell you it can't be done are the people who haven't done it themselves.
Great job as always..how are you working the flutter jigs??
Jim, it looks like you are using mono? I thought those jigs needed to be worked using braid?? thanks

After going down to a season ending knee injury early in his high school outro, Quincy Miller spent the majority of his final year of high school rooting on Westchester Country Day as they hoped to make their run to the state championship. You'd think not being selected to the McDonald's All-American Game because of injury and being unable to compete in the Jordan Brand Classic may have been a major mental setback for a player so early in his development. Not for Quincy. It only made him hungrier.
Eager to show off the hard work that he put in on his game, the SLAM Magazine diarist for 2010 invited ourselves and BallisLife to The Rush in Jamestown, NC to catch a run with some of the top guys in the area. There weren't any plays being ran, nobody was diving on the floor for loose balls, and there weren't any refs calling ticky-tack fouls. It was old-fashioned pick up with some new school players. Here are some of the guys who did their thing:
Quincy Miller, 6-10, SF/PF, Baylor, Freshman
The first thing that immediately caught your eye about Quincy was how much stronger that he's gotten. Looking every bit of 225 pounds now, he's got the size to battle with the big boys down low in the Big 12. Naturally he didn't have his usual bounce or explosiveness going to the rack (which could be expected on his first day back), but that didn't stop Q from banging on someone bad in the video. In terms of his skills, it was clear that Miller had been putting in work on his post game and you could see by the added moves to his repertoire. His jumper was falling as usual and he looked like he tightened his handle up a bit. There's still plenty of room for improvement for Q on the defensive end, but there's no denying that he's going to make a monster impact on what will be a downright scary Baylor team next season.
JT Terrell, 6-3, SG, Wake Forest, Sophomore
Though he had an up and down freshman season for a struggling Wake Forest squad, the future is looking hella bright for JT Terrell. He spent a lot of time working his game off of the bounce, which has the potential to be insane given his explosiveness and that the D has to play him honest for his jumper. There aren't many guys in all of college basketball who can create their own shot as well, so expect BIG things out of the Charlotte native this season playing under ex-Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik at Wake.
Marshall Moses, 6-6, PF, Oklahoma State graduate
Moses didn't get too much run in, as he twisted his ankle on a ridiculous dunk and called it a wrap. The former Oklahoma State high flyer was prepping his game for Europe and you could see that his post game had four years of college seasoning as opposed to the young pups that he was playing with. Moses will likely be heading across the pond to take his game to Europe since he doesn't quite have the perimeter skills to make it in the League at this time.
Josh Newkirk, 6-2, PG, Word of God (NC), 2013
The electric point guard from John Wall's alma mater made a few plays throughout the day that just made you go WOW. It's not too often that you see a young point guard with that combination of size and athleticism who goes hard every time out, making him one of the more unique point guards in the sophomore class. Already leading Team United to the 16-U 'ship at Gibbons, expect to hear more big things out of Newkirk as the summer goes on.
Aaron Scales, 6-9, C, High Point Christian (NC), 2012
Not really a guy who is well known by many, Scales has been in the gym every day and it's shown with the amount of improvement that he's made to both his body and his skill set. The big body showed off a feathery touch from the perimeter and showed flashes of being able to bang with the big boys down low. As long as Aaron keeps getting tougher and putting in hella hours in the gym like he has been this spring, he's definitely a name that you'll be hearing more about once the live period rolls around in July.

Listen, Obamaphiles!
Outrage at McCain's "lies" is a total loser strategy.
Update: Nor am I convinced that this brings "full closure" to the issue. Would NBC really not let Murphy out of his contract if he said he wanted to go run McCain's campaign? ... 1:23 P.M. link
Jim Johnson's Legacy Builds: Politico gravy-train Fannie Mae in trouble despite its massive implicit government subsidy, because new accounting rules would apparently require it to list billions of dollars of now off-the-balance-sheet mortgage guarantees as liabilities. Of course, the agency formerly headed by Obama's ex-veep-vetter will probably wriggle out of the new rule thanks, as always, to political pressure:
"I would bet my firstborn that they will be excluded from the accounting change. It would bankrupt them," said Paul Miller of the investment firm Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group.
So everything's OK then! ... Backfill: Eerily prescient David Smith post here. See also this E-Z-2-Follow post on Fannie Mae's balance sheets. Cheap visual devices are used, and also the word "Augean." ... 12:35 P.M. link

1) Some of Preston's evidence of an employer fight-back against the immigration crackdown is ludicrously weak. "Unhappy California business won the support of Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, who wrote a letter" protesting immigration raids. Yes, a letter! From a mayor! Meanwhile:

Women's Studies (WST)
Associate Professor Gilbert and Assistant Professor Chen, co-directors; all courses taught by faculty from various cognate disciplines.
Alma's Women's Studies minor develops a substantial interdisciplinary background in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences on topics and issues concerning women's images, realities and choices. It intends to develop awareness of women's contributions, concerns, perspectives and theories by considering diversity of class, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, age and ability from various feminist perspectives which counterbalance traditional biases. Valuable to students from many disciplines, the components of this minor offer a broad, socio-historical and multicultural study of women's status, roles and efforts toward survival, change and transformation.
