The appearance was okay, nothing special but also not bad. The taste was not good, in my opinion. Not balanced, too heavy alcohol taste, for my taste. Very strong sweetness.

S: Bananas, candied sugar, Belgian yeasts, an alcohol burn but its well hidden behind the sweetness and floral quality. T: Sweet floral quality, cologne like alcohol presence which burns all the way down into the chest cavity and stomach. The Belgian style yeasts and banana and candy are there, paired equally in presence with alcohol burn ad presence. M: Thick and firey and leaning towards rum in consistency more than most beers. Medium carbonation. O: Must try this one. Noted for its alcohol presence, but is a good Belgian as well. A little too much alcohol for my liking, but I love its uniqueness.

SLIDING IN: On the eve of his runway show for Balmain, designer Christiphe Decarnin stopped by the Prada boutique on Avenue Montaigne, which had received a temporary facelift from French vogue editor in chief Carine Roitfeld as part of Prada's Iconoclast series. "I am a bit nervous," said Decarnin, who was relishing the chance to jet off to "somewhere in the sun." Peter Dundas, Emilio Pucci's designer, meanwhile, took a peek at the live pythons that were used as decoration in the Prada boutique. "Its funny to see them – normally something I use in my collection," he chuckled.

A Cameron man is accused of posing as a Fort Bragg soldier in an effort to scam money from residents at various locations in Fayetteville and on Interstate 95, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
James Edward Coombs, 39, of the 1200 block of Heritage Way, has posed as a Special Forces officer, a sergeant first class and a federal air marshal, a release said.
Coombs approaches people and tells them his wallet has been stolen and he doesn't have enough money to get him back to Fort Bragg, the release said.
Coombs has been seen in the parking lot of Walmart on Skibo Road, the release said.
Coombs has been dressed in military attire while soliciting money at I-95 rest stops, the release said, and arrested at least once for pandering.
Coombs' criminal record includes convictions for worthless checks, credit card fraud, firearms-related offenses and vehicle theft, according to records at the Department of Public Safety's Adult Correction division.
Anyone who may have given Coombs money is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 323-1500.

McDonnell's First 100 Days
On Sunday Governor Bob McDonnell completed his 100th day in office. How has he done thus far? Craig Carper Reports.
Political Analyst Dr. Bob Holsworth says that Governor McDonnell deserves high marks for delivering on many of his key priorities.
Holsworth: On a lot of the big ticket items that he ran on, McDonnell's done pretty well. He campaigned on the ground that he would try to address the budget shortfall without generally raising taxes. They were able to do that pretty successfully.
Holsworth also points to McDonnell's success on his economic development proposals and efforts to expand Charter Schools. Governor McDonnell has received some negative attention from national media outlets on some of his struggles with social issues, and Holsworth says he will have to do some damage control among minority communities.
Holsworth: He spent the last three weeks responding to the attacks you might say in the national media about the confederate history proclamation, but there's no doubt that national aspirations and national standing were probably damaged far more than his standing in Virginia.
Dr. Holsworth says McDonnell must stay on message and continue to address kitchen table issues like jobs in order to maintain his popularity…something that will surely be easier to do with Northrup Grumman's announcement late yesterday that they intend to relocate their corporate headquarters to Virginia.

AnyOption was one of the first binary options brokers in the industry and is currently still going strong. The company has a solid reputation among traders along with a great deal of assets for trading and have recently switched some assets to 24/7 trading. The customer support staff is fairly good and they offer fairly good payouts for winning and losing trades.
User Friendly: 10/10
The user experience and user friendliness at AnyOption is actually quite good. The website is extremely user friendly and they make it very easy to navigate through the website and trading platform. They also offer several very cool features like the profit line where you can see your trades as they happen along with a bell if your trade goes out of the money or in the money. It's a truly unique experience to all the other brokers on the market today.
AnyOption also offers a mobile application which is currently the only one of its kind in the binary options industry. The iPhone application has been tested and works extremely well for those who require on-the-go trading capabilities.
Assets & Expiry Times: 3/10
*UPDATE* US Traders can only trade stocks now, international traders still have access to everything.
There are over 60 assets which can be traded and they include anything from commodities to Forex, stocks and indicies. This gives you the full range of assets to trade throughout the day. As mentioned above they have also changed some of their Forex assets to 24/7 trading during the weekdays which is excellent, as previously they closed down at 4:00 PM EST.
Currently as it stands there are several different options for expiry times, those that end hourly, daily, weekly and even monthly.
Customer Service: 8/10
Customer service at AnyOption is fairly good as they offer a live chat during market hours as well as phone numbers to speak directly with customer service agents. After speaking with them they are fairly knowledgeable and can usually help you with whatever problem you have although sometimes not very quickly.
Payout Rates: 9/10
The payout rates at AnyOption range from 65-71% depending on the time and asset and they offer a 15% return on out of the money trades. With the out of the money trades being so high, this is usually a great place for beginners to start as they have a little more room to work with if they lose a trade so they do not get completely wiped out on each loss.
Deposits & Withdrawals: 9/10
Depositing via the AnyOption website is fairly straight forward and very easy to do with some simple clicks. They offer several methods in which you can deposit such as Credit Card, Wire Transfer, eCheck, Poli, cashU and a few other payment options, which are specific to each individual country. The withdrawals just like every other broker require paperwork to be sent in however this should be expected and after you are verified payments can be sent via Wire Transfer.
You may withdraw back your initial deposit via any method you have deposited from and profits may be withdrawn through wire transfers.

Could freemium be a good model of earning profit from user generated content services?
Let's take same hard example - www.trapster.com. It's a mobile phone application for exchanging information about events on the roads. In this case the service is free, but are you able to come out with an idea to implement some business model into it?
Take into account that:
- this service needs an enormous concentration of users in the same region and at the same time to be useful for all of them (even though they have more than 5 mln users, the service is useless in vast majority of places, as those users are spread across the whole World)
- the user, who several times pass the police radar patrol without being alerted is quickly discouraged, so you have to get a lot of people to use the product in a short time or you will end up with high amount of inactive and disappointed "users"
- the more users use the service and the more each single user uses the service, the more valuable the service is to the entire community - so you cannot just get rid of 95% or 99% users who would never paid you as you need them for the service to work
- the 1% of users, who need and/or like the service so much that they would pay you, are at the same time the most valuable data suppliers
What do you think about it? Do you know any examples of freemium model implementation in services based on user generated content? The cases of both successful and failed implementations would be helpful.

Guide to Zoological Park Careers
Can you turn your love of animals into a career? The good news is that there are many types of jobs that involve working with animals, most of them within zoological parks. Although only some of them involve direct contact with animals, all zoological careers play an important role, whether directly or indirectly, in caring for the animals. Although job descriptions, responsibilites, and criteria may vary within the zoological community, this booklet specifically aims to provide you with a behind-the-scenes look at the responsibilities and training necessary for certain jobs at the Sea World parks and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, all of which are members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). The section Exploring Career Opportunities profiles these positions and provides decriptions of specific job responsibilities and challenges. Be sure to read through them all; you may find that the job you thought you wanted no longer interests you, or you may discover a new, exciting possibility.
The competition for any job in a zoological park is keen. Because zoos and aquariums are becoming increasingly important community resources for environmental education and species conservation, jobs in these institutions are in high demand. But hard work will be the key. It's assumed that a person applying for a job in a zoological park loves animals, but it's more important to a prospective employer that the person is hard-working, responsible, and well educated. For instance, with more demanding technical and scientific jobs, solid research skills might be considered with more weight than how much an applicant cares for or loves working with the animals. Therefore, getting the right schooling is one of the most important things you can do to chart a path to a career working with animals. The suggestions in Finding a School will help you as you search for an educational institution that offers the right program for your chosen career. Another step along the way to a zoological park career is getting your foot in the door. The section titled Tips for Starting your Career will give you some ideas on how to get started.

Tiny and far removed, the town of Bethel, Alaska is hemmed in by astounding scenery and bountiful wildlife. Located inland, along the Kuskokwim River that empties into the Bering Sea, this close-knit community is a gathering place for nature enthusiasts. Expansive windswept tundra, dramatic river oxbows, and a wealth of lakes combine to make Bethel one of America's most scenic reaches.
The best way to experience this vast terrain is aboard a sightseeing charter plane. If you can, consider taking a flight over the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, where large mammals, including the polar bear, can be seen roaming. If you prefer to stay on land, Bethel's Seawall is a romantic spot to view an Alaskan sunset.

Crème Brulée:
- 6 6 6egg yolks
- 1/2 .5 .5cup CUP_USVolumesugar
- 3 3 3cups CUP_USVolumeheavy cream
- 1 1 1vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 7 7 7tablespoons TABLESPOON_USVolumeunsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 .5 .5pound POUNDWeightPuff Pastry (see Bakery)
- 1/2 .5 .5cup CUP_USVolumebite-sized mixed fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries, apricots, ripe pears, raspberries, or blueberries (1/2 cup - 3/4 cup)
- 1/2 .5 .5cup CUP_USVolumesugar
- At least 8 hours ahead or the night before, make the Crème Brulée: In a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water but not touching the water, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is light and thick enough to form a ribbon. This takes quite a long time; be strong and patient. Remove the bowl from the heat.
- Carefully whisk in the cream. Add the vanilla bean. Place the bowl back over the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and cook gently for about 45 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon and checking that the water does not boil. The custard will be done when the mixture is thick enough to adhere to the spoon without dripping. When the custard is done, remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the butter, a little at a time, until all of it has been incorporated. Pour and press the custard through a fine strainer into a bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
- To make the Tart, on a floured work surface roll out the Puff Pastry to a thickness of 1/4 inch and pierce it all over with the tines of a fork. Place a large flan ring on a baking sheet. Gently roll the pastry up around the rolling pin, then transfer it to the flan ring. Unroll the pastry onto the ring, press the pastry down into its side and bottom, and then roll the rolling pin firmly over the rings rim to trim off excess pastry. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line the chilled pastry shell with parchment paper or coffee filters and fill the shell with pie weights or dried beans that you reserve for baking purposes. Bake the pastry shell for about 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove the shell from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Remove the pie weights and paper.
- Distribute the fruit evenly over the bottom of the pastry shell, then pour in the chilled custard. Smooth the top with a long-bladed spatula.
Just before serving, heat a caramel iron on the burner of a stove. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top and carefully caramelize the sugar with the hot iron. Alternately, place the tart under a hot broiler, near the heat, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes. Or use a small blow torch to caramelize the sugar, following the manufacturers directions. To serve, cut the tart into wedges, using a sharp knife and striking it firmly but carefully downward to break through the caramel topping.
Serves 8-10
I love the vanilla-scented, caramel-topped custard known as crème brulée, and found that one of the best ways to prepare and serve it is in a crisp puff pastry shell with a hidden layer of fresh fruit. The "caramel iron" I refer to in step 7 below is a small iron attached to a long handle that doesnt conduct heat; you heat the iron on a stovetop burner, then hold it close to a granulated sugar topping to melt and caramelize the sugar. You can find these devices in well-stocked kitchenware shops, where youre also likely to discover small, hand-held blowtorches especially made to caramelize sugar for this popular dessert. Whichever implement you use, please handle it with great caution!

Unflinching Portraits of Pearl Harbor Survivors
Seventy years after the day that lives on in infamy, the soldiers stationed at Pearl Harbor recall their experiences
- By Megan Gambino

(Marco Garcia / Wonderful Machine)
Just before 8 a.m. on Sunday, December 7, 1941, sailors stationed at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu were starting to stir—dressing for church, swabbing the deck, or already sunning themselves at local beaches on their day off—when the first of two waves of Japanese fighter planes attacked the base.
At 8:10 a.m., Japanese bombers dropped a 1,760-pound torpedo on the USS Arizona, and within nine minutes the battleship sank with 1,177 men onboard. In just two hours, the death toll from the attack on the harbor climbed to about 2,400, with nearly 1,200 wounded. "A date which will live in infamy," President Franklin Delano Roosevelt called it, before declaring war on Japan and entering the United States in World War II.
Seventy years later, only about 3,000 of the 60,000 military personnel estimated to have been at Pearl Harbor that day survive (including William Temple, above). "We are losing this 'greatest generation' faster than we can imagine," says Marco Garcia, a Honolulu-based photographer who has made it his mission to photograph survivors before it is too late.
Garcia moved from New York City to Hawaii in 2003, and shortly after he began attending the ceremonies held at the USS Arizona Memorial each year on the anniversary of the attack. As a son of a Korean War and Vietnam War veteran, the photographer says, "War was just a part of my life, hearing about wars all the time, seeing old war movies." So when he went to Pearl Harbor and saw survivors, he says, "I thought, 'Wow, these aren't these young, fresh actors that were in the movies. These are real people.'"

When Pearl Harbor was attacked, my father had an aunt whose son,Jimmy Cannon, was an Air Force navigator in the Pacific. Through his own research, my oldest son has contacted the pilot of the plane that Jimmy gave his life to save. He also has discovered that because Jimmy was the first American military man to be buried on Australian soil, they there was no official American flag for the burial ceremony. Not wishing to do any less for this young GI than they would their own, the Australian women designed a red, white and blue American flag to cover his coffin. Though I was a child at the time, I recall reading an article in a magazine (I believe it was "The Cosmopolitan".) which described young Jimmy Cannon's bravery and valor.

I am a niece of two Cattanach that survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. Bothers, both inb the U.S. Navy. They both have passed away. Their names were: Robert Cattanach and James Cattanach. I would like to know what ship(s) they were on and if the ship(s) were attacked by Japan. Any information would be helpful. Thank you, firstname.lastname@example.com

my father, Clyde R. Church, ( deceased as of September, 2009) was 20 when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He said he was heading for the mess hall to have breakfast. He and his buddies thought it was manuevers at first but it didn't take long to figure out it was the "real thing" and that they were being attacked. I have many pictures my dad left me of his time in Pearl harbor, they are priceless.

This is in response to the comment made by Agnes Chagnon above. She wonders what ship her cousin, Joseph Chagnon, was on when he died at Pearl Harbor. According to this website, http://www.usswestvirginia.org/ph/phlistalpha.php?firstletter=C, a Sgt. Joseph J. Chagnon of the U.S. Army died at Hickam Field, the Army air field next to Pearl Harbor. Although most of the casualties were naval personnel, there were numerous Army deaths. Regardless, we should never forgot these brave men and women.

My 1st cousin joseph Chagnon, was killed at pearl harbor. I was eight years old at the time. The family members lived on east 97th. st new york city, at that time.

All of his immediate family are dead, most of my own family are also dead Did any one know him? can anyone tell me what ship he was on? thank you for any info you may be able to provide.

Its beyond me, the photographer, to think I would move so many people with this project. I graciously thank everyone who has seen this and has been stirred by this project. I am continuing in the next few days with another batch of survivors from Pearl Harbor and hopefully, the public will be able to enjoy this next set of portraits as well.
Thank you,
Marco Garcia

One of my aunts was in her apartment on Hawaii and hid under the kitchen table with her young daughter as the bombs fell. Her husband Pat McIntyre was later killed in the Pacific, he was a pilot and is mentioned in the book "Queens Die Proudly"
We cannot give enough thanks to all those men and women who served during that day, December 7th 1941 we owe them more than we can imagine. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID DURING WWII.
Posted by Herman Jeroue on December 8,2011 | 01:21 PM
I was one of the lucky ones. I was in college when Pearl Harbor was attacked. I was allowed to finish in 1943 and was deferred until 1945 because I was the only engineer left at B.F.Goodrich by two Presidential appeals. I was finally draftedin August of 1945 because I was no longer essential. I went into the Navy and was discharged with enough points in 1946. I have a few regrets that I didn't get into the real fighting, but by the same token I feel real,real lucky.

Mr. Garcia, thank you for taking this project upon yourself. Too many people forget the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform during the past wars and conflicts. No one did this with the survivors of World War I and now they are gone. It is important to record everything about this era. I hope that while you are photographing them, that you are also video recording them for posterity. (You know... you might be able to get a grant from the Archives or Library of Congress to help get more of this done.)
Posted by Debi on December 7,2011 | 11:06 PM
What a great and tragic story these men have told. Thank you for your service. My father was a veteran of WWII also. I know the profound effect it had on him. My parent's stories were like those of the rest of that generation. It truly was a day that changed their life and remained in their memories always. Mr. Garcia thank you for helping us remember these heroic people and their stories.

A very timely piece about a period in our history that deserves to be remembered in its entirety. "At Dawn We Slept" was aptly titled. A time of mis-information and non-information lead to Pearl Harbor. WE must be sure those who follow us learn all they can so that THEY may avoid this situation in the future.
BTW, a bomb not a torpedo fell on USS ARIZONA.
Posted by Mark W Maxwell on December 7,2011 | 10:00 PM
Correction, Mr. Reynolds. You earned the right for ALL Americans to criticize these failings. And for that, we thank you.
Posted by Matthew Mills on December 7,2011 | 08:28 PM
I know that was a terrable time in our nation. I was nine-years old. I hate to get political but, we were an isolationest nation at that time, led there by F.D.R We are now being led there again by our current so-called leader. I hope everyone will consider that in November, 2012.

By no means do preseason results predict regular season success. In previous seasons, the Jazz have gone undefeated in the preseason only to miss the playoffs, and had losing records during the eight exhibition games only to make a deep run in the playoffs.
However, this season's success does garner hope for Jazz fans, not because of the results of the first few games, but because of the visible improvement of the players themselves. After being swept out of the playoffs last season, the Jazz players worked in the offseason like they had something to prove.
The question is whether that work will translate into wins. As always, the West is loaded with quality teams. Sure, some teams are better than others, but every night the Jazz face a quality opponent which, if taken lightly, will defeat them. But will the Jazz be consistent enough to earn their second consecutive trip to the playoffs?
One of the many bets you can make in Vegas is win totals, where bets are calculated based on total season victories. One reputable book there predicts Utah will finish with 42.5 wins during the 82-game season, a slight percentage drop over last season's team. Overall, this would give the Jazz the eighth-best record in the West according to the sports book, so the gamblers predict the Jazz will be in the exact same spot as last year.
Is this a reasonable expectation for the Jazz? Should the team expect a higher number of wins this year, or should fans prepare for a fall from the playoffs and back into the lottery?
The best way to look at the Western Conference is to group the teams together based on their season expectations. By looking at who is competing for which spots we can see just who the Jazz are competing with for a playoff spot, and what a reasonable expectation for the season is.
First, we can eliminate certain teams from playoff contention. Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, New Orleans and Houston all have major flaws that will keep them away from the playoffs. Phoenix lost future Hall of Famer Steve Nash, Portland is depleted from the failed Brandon Roy/Greg Oden saga, Sacramento is as dysfunctional as ever, New Orleans is young and raw, and Houston is depleted of talent. Eliminating these five teams leaves ten teams fighting for eight postseason spots.
Oklahoma City and the Lakers are the cream of the West, will win their divisions, and are fighting for the two top seeds in the West. The only other team that could drop one of them a spot is the Spurs, but San Antonio will likely not push for the top spot with the number of veterans it has on the team. Following the cream of the crop are the Clippers and Memphis, both excellent teams with flaws that keep them out of elite contention. That leaves five teams, including the Jazz, fighting for three playoff spots.

Social Security Reform:
Analysis of Reform Models Developed by the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security

Social Security is an important social insurance program affecting virtually every American family. It represents a foundation of the nation's retirement income system and provides millions of Americans with disability insurance and survivors' benefits. Over the long term, as the baby boom generation retires, Social Security's financing shortfall presents a major solvency and sustainability challenge. Numerous reform proposals have been put forward in recent years, and in December 2001 a commission appointed by the President presented three possible reform models. Senator Breaux, Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, asked GAO to use its analytic framework to evaluate the Commission's models. This framework consists of three criteria: (1) the extent to which a proposal achieves sustainable solvency and how it would affect the economy and the federal budget; (2) the balance struck between the twin goals of income adequacy and individual equity; and (3) how readily such changes could be implemented, administered, and explained to the public.
Applying GAO's criteria to the Commission models highlights key options and trade-offs between efforts to achieve sustainable solvency and maintain adequate retirement income for current and future beneficiaries. For example, the Commission's Model 2 proposal reduces Social Security's defined benefit from currently scheduled levels through various formula changes, provides enhanced benefits for low-wage workers and spousal survivors, and adds a voluntary individual account option in exchange for a benefit reduction. Model 2 would provide for sustainable solvency and reduce the shares of the federal budget and the economy devoted to Social Security compared to currently scheduled benefits (tax increase benchmark) regardless of how many individuals selected accounts. However, with universal account participation, general revenue funding would be needed for about 3 decades. GAO's analysis of benefit adequacy and equity issues relating to Model 2 found that (1) across cohorts, median monthly benefits for those choosing accounts are always higher, despite a benefit offset, than for those who do not; this gap grows over time. In addition, benefits assuming universal account participation are higher than payment of a defined benefit generally corresponding to an amount payable from future Social Security trust fund revenues (benefit reduction benchmark). However, benefits received by those without accounts fall below the benchmark over time. (2) for the lowest quintile, median monthly benefits with universal participation in the accounts tend to be higher than GAO's benefit reduction benchmark, likely due to the enhanced benefit for full-time "minimum wage" workers. This pattern becomes more pronounced across the cohorts analyzed. (3) regardless of whether an account is chosen, many people could receive monthly benefits under Model 2 that are higher than the benefit reduction benchmark. However, a minority could fare worse. Some people could also receive a benefit greater than under the tax increase benchmark although a majority could fare worse. Benefits for those choosing individual accounts will be sensitive to the actual rates of return earned by those accounts. Adding individual accounts would require new administrative structures, adding complexity and cost. Public education will be key to help beneficiaries make sound decisions about account participation, investment diversification, and risk. Finally, any Social Security reform proposal must also be looked at in the context of both the program and the long-term budget outlook. A funding gap exists between promised and funded Social Security benefits which, although it will not occur for a number of years, is significant and will grow over time. In addition, GAO's long-term budget simulations show, difficult choices will be required to reconcile a large and growing gap between projected revenues and spending resulting primarily from known demographic trends and rising health care costs.

I have a lot of cherry in my home, floors furniture and trim. I like the look.
Thinking of making this winters canoe of cherry.
The extra weight is not a concern since the weight of the strips is only a portion of the canoe weight and a few extra pounds is not critical.
I am wondering about the flexibility in the compound curves and how hard it will be to fair.
And any other advice or comments you may have about building it with cherry.
Thanks, Al.

Will Mitt Romney's Vice Presidential Pick Make a Difference? >
Romney's Vice Presidential Pick Will Matter--But Only a Little
Mitt Romney could reinforce his image as a deliberate decision maker
May 30, 2012
Yes, Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick matters, although likely only marginally. People rarely vote on the basis of the vice presidential nominee, and these picks rarely make a significant difference in terms of the election results. If the choice mattered that much, Humphrey-Muskie would have defeated Nixon-Agnew in 1968, and Dukakis-Bentsen would have defeated Bush-Quayle in 1988. The focus on electoral college math also often comes up dry. Lloyd Bentsen failed to bring Texas into the Dukakis column in 1988, and John Edwards failed to achieve excellence in North Carolina in 2004.
So, in what way could Romney's pick make a difference?
[See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 campaign.]
Romney's pick could violate the time-honored injunction to "do no harm." Regardless of their relative qualifications, running mates such as Tom Eagleton and Sarah Palin ran into difficulties that distracted from the presidential candidate's primary message, and anything that deflects attention from Romney's message in what is likely to be a close election will only damage his prospects. "Bold" and "adventurous" choices create a buzz that often leads to damage control.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Sarah Palin.]
That doesn't mean that a "safe" pick can't make a difference. Ideological, regional, ethnic, or gender balance are time-honored factors in thinking about running mates, and it is possible that a choice based on descriptive characteristics (female, non-white) or swing state math could garner a few extra votes, and there are enough closely-fought swing states this year to provide Romney with an interesting list of possibilities. And like Sen. John McCain four years ago, Romney may decide he needs to reassure his conservative base and energize them for his fall campaign. If Romney can find someone who reassures his base while also avoiding the Sarah Palin problem, he would do well. On the other hand, the right's antipathy for President Obama may be sufficient to energize Romney's conservative voters.
Romney's best choice is to play it safe and choose someone with an ability to govern right away. Any additional considerations would make this a twofer. Such a choice would reinforce Romney's image as a deliberate decision-maker and help focus the fall election on Romney's primary message—the referendum on Obama's performance. If Romney's VP pick can help do that, it will make a difference.

BY LIZA STROUT - Andy Ireland presided over his last GICIA Annual Meeting on Wednesday, April 3, at least as president and a member of the board. Afterward, he handed the reins over to the new GICIA president, Bayne Stevenson.
"Thank you for the opportunity to serve as president of GICIA," said Ireland. "As I leave, I just want to remind everyone of the two pictures of Boca Grande, one with the (Gasparilla Island Conservation District) Act and one without."
Two new board members were elected by popular acclaim: Jack Damioli, president and general manager of the Gasparilla Inn & Club, and Angela Steffan, who is with Gulf to Bay Sotheby's International Realty.
Damioli is married to Rachel, and they have two children, Deanna and Elizabeth. Prior to his service at the Gasparilla Inn he spent 22 years at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
Steffan is the wife of Dr. Michael Steffan, who is the medical director of the Boca Grande Health Clinic. They reside in Boca Bay. She has a degree in chemical engineering from Christian Brothers University in Memphis, and has worked IBM as a systems engineer and senior associates engineer. After raising four children she returned to working life in 2004, when she became a real estate agent.
The three members who were up for re-election – Mary O'Bannon, Larry Blau and Martha Diebold – were all re-elected.
For Helen Fraser and Andy Ireland, it was the last meeting they would attend as members of the board. Having served four years as advocates and guardians of the Gasparilla Island Conservation District Act, GICIA and the island itself, both retired from their positions.
The Boca Grande Community Center was crowded with island residents, and the news they received was all positive.
The treasurer's report showed a healthy growth, along with excellent management of funds.
The issue of the ditches on the north end of the island has been resolved, and further work to beautify the bike bath, the gateway to Boca Grande, is being planned.
GICIA's effort to control the rugose spiraling whitefly, which was first seen on the island in 2011, has been at least a partial success.
At the close of official business, Ireland handed the podium over to Stevenson, who will lead GICIA for the coming year.
"I would like to thank Andy," said Stevenson. "He has done an exemplary job. His leadership skills and political savvy have greatly benefitted the establishment."
With a new year comes a new logotype for GICIA. The new version features a silhouette of Gasparilla Island, with the name of the organization emerging from the waters that surround it.
Lastly, Gilchrist Avenue resident William Regnery addressed the board about parking on the Gilchrist median. Stevenson told Regnery he hopes the GICIA will be able to provide the community with leadership regarding the matter.

A long, fun pitch. A few fun face moves at the bottom, easier climbing in the middle, pass a roof to get to the anchor. This route is in the shade in the morning and the late afternoon.
This climb is on the right edge of the Left Flank, just left of the Java Wall (see photo).
9 bolts to open shut anchors. Use a 60-meter rope.
The hardest move is clipping the anchors!
Agree that the hardest move was clipping the anchors. Nice rest ledge about half-way up the climb.
This is a great climb all the way up to the anchors. That last move was easily a 10a move, if not 10b. I had to jump for the last pocket hold to the left and basically hang from it to get clipped in to the anchor. I couldn't reach it at all from the holds to the right. Short folk be aware that the anchors are tough! A great lead otherwise. Used every bit of my 60 yard (yes it's in yards) rope.
Fun moderate face climbing. Agree- crux is clipping the anchor and is a single 10a move.
Belayers and leaders beware of the large partially detached flake, often marked with an X, between the midway ledge and the anchors. An awkward outward pull could send it crashing down on the often crowded terrace below.
