More California fun!
by findingpaola
Days lounging by the pool in the summertime with a good cocktail never gets old. I spent the day with a friend since our significant others were out golfing with the groom of the wedding we attended. It resulted in a day of shopping where we ended up getting matching gold sequined jackets from a small shop near Malibu called Sugar, relaxing by the pool, and enjoying the good California weather. In the afternoon, we visited one of Tyler's old […]

KAYSVILLE — An Air Force/military hotel-recreation facility is still years away, but it appears to be getting closer.
A project area of about 40 acres approved recently by the Military Infrastructure Defense Authority (MIDA) based in Kaysville, paves the way for construction of a private, non-military-oriented hotel.
It will be built on land overlooking U.S. Highway 40 near Jordanelle Reservoir in Wasatch County.
Tax increment funding available to MIDA from that private venture can then go towards construction of the military hotel, said Rick Mayfield, MIDA executive director.
"This is just the first step of our process," he said. "We (MIDA) create the project area and then become the land use authority, so we decide what design as far as limitations, just like a city would with (land) ordinances," the one-time Davis County planning director said.
MIDA became involved at the invitation of Wasatch County, which asked for the nonprofit entity's involvement in February of last year.
"This is a different kind of a situation, unlike Falcon Hill, which is on federal land," he said.
No tax dollars will be used to fund the project, Mayfield emphasized.
MIDA has been very involved in development of Falcon Hill, the public-private partnership with Hill AFB.
There, the plan is for about 500 acres of federal land west of the base is to be developed by private aerospace and other defense-related contractors, who will lease the land from the base.
MIDA is also involved with the billion-dollar plus National Defense Agency intelligence installation being built near Fort Williams on the border of Salt Lake and Utah Counties.
"They're planning on bringing in another ski lift from Deer Valley which will help the overall area and help facilitate the military hotel," said Stuart Adams, MIDA chair and a state senator from Layton.
"Hopefully this will make the military hotel more feasible," he said. Stan Castleton, who built the high-end St. Regis Hotel in Deer Valley, is behind the military hotel project.
"That additional (non-military) hotel should improve this area, increase the desirability and functionality of the military hotel," Adams said.
But the private hotel planned for what Mayfield said is the first project area on that 40 acres must be built first. Van Heymyer is putting that project together. Mayfield said it is in the planning and design phase now, which he anticipates will take about a year.
The Air Force originally wanted to build a hotel in Park City on the Red Maple site. That property is being traded, with resulting proceeds to go toward the new Air Force hotel in Wasatch County.
The exact site for the new military hotel has yet to be selected, Mayfield said.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has an electric car problem. Federal law requires that new cars be sold with a label that includes the vehicle's fuel efficiency as measured in miles per gallon. Yet beginning next year, gallons will start to give way to watts, prompting the EPA to redesign their window stickers.
In an attempt to smooth the transition, the EPA has adopted a new unit called miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent (MPGe). Basically, it is a conversion factor that measures the electricity required to run the car (usually expressed in kilowatt-hours) in another unit of energy: gallons of gasoline. An all-electric vehicle should get somewhere north of 100 MPGe, even though it will never use a drop of gas.
The new figure doesn't clear up the apples-to-oranges problem, however. Consumers tend to use the old-fashioned MPG metric as shorthand for many things—including how green the car is and the cost of driving—that don't jibe neatly with MPGe. For example, the carbon footprint of an electric vehicle strongly depends on local electricity sources [see "The Dirty Truth about Plug-in Hybrids," by Michael Moyer; Scientific American, July].
With so many factors to consider, the EPA created two sticker prototypes. One throws together all the information a consumer could possibly want to know in one place. The other takes the opposite approach. It is dominated by a single letter grade—A+ through D (there are no failures here)—which encapsulates all those factors in one score. Unfortunately, this simple measure would score 88 percent of all vehicles between a B and a C. "You need sufficient resolution to allow customers who say 'I want a minivan' or 'I want a midsize SUV' to meaningfully cross-shop vehicles that are similar," says John M. DeCicco, a senior lecturer at the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment. "Letter grades fail on that score."
A closer look at that sticker reveals a more important figure: how much the car will cost to operate compared with the average vehicle. Critically, the EPA adds up five years' worth of driving. "It takes differences that are small and that you might ignore and makes them substantial but not in a misleading way—five years is an amount of time you're likely to spend with your car," says Richard Larrick of Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. Larrick and his colleagues have shown that simply scaling up numbers influences consumer choice. For example, students, offered an option of two movie rental plans, were more likely to choose an extended plan when the number of movies in the plan was tallied by the year, not the month. Similarly, the EPA stickers should have the effect of promoting vehicles that are less expensive to operate, like electric cars. Good-bye gallons, and good riddance.

Set all right -- well whoever wins the presidential election my next guest is convinced.
That -- taxes are gonna go up and that we'll have a big impact on the markets as well.
Joining me now Kimberley -- -- -- -- and wealth management Kimberly thanks for joining us.
Okay let's talk about this this market right now down a hundred points is being kind of very thinly traded.
Somewhat volatile August although things are quite down recently what are you expecting as we head into September.
Yeah well I think that you know if we have a success and the republic and convention here and that we have to -- -- 43% chance that Romney well that will take it.
And if that happens I think that we're gonna CDs.
Bad tax is the -- -- not really fiscal.
Actually -- little -- slope.
I'm you know impact that and that's what's gonna impact the market any impact.
The and investors going forward with I don't think that the market -- and -- -- market -- I don't think that they are actually in breaking the date the impact on what these taxes are Gannett are going to.
A fact that the markets overall in January if if we didn't have.
A fiscal slope.
Hitting and what -- particular would be -- by that Kimberly.
I think that you're you're gonna see the high and high income wage earner is basically be hit by the dividends -- capital gains.
These are gonna be really impacted on the returns the portfolios.
As well as you -- got these ultra low interest rates so my clients are really really struggling.
To try and get back in come so that they can you know basically -- that is bad increasing in capacity increase in in in that gasoline costs as well.
You talk about the three -- -- solid investment principles one of those.
Yet you know -- -- try to do is protect the principal because as we say going forward volatility is being normal.
We've got -- -- Europe prices coming back they've come back from there.
They're vacations with a tan that's gonna be copying.
More volatility but -- those losses you hit your protector profit your protector principal.
Dad and then -- -- -- -- your income stream.
And -- profit after that.
And if we -- -- and we kind of were vigilant about that he had you you can survive through this Malays.
The low interest rate environment.
And then profit again because I do know that's.
That this is the best -- about.
Bad path to prosperity.
This kept capitalism engine that we have and -- we find something out -- this is where the average investor actually at 401K investor.
-- profit on markets as well as as a Warren Buffett.
So until we find something announced this isn't that the -- best craft prosperity.
And add the way that the clients are doing it now is really.
Taking matters in their own -- there were DC they're in their costs add internally at your own home by ten to 15%.
And -- -- -- three to 5% -- come off the dividends interest and -- a little bit gain in the port in the portfolios as well.
What are you particular avoiding right now on line.
Where avoiding long term obviously long term -- bonds because you.
You're an ultra low environment and we're looking at the ten year treasury at one half percent -- or wherever it is today.
Eat it here if you're investing for long term in your -- long term.
Bonds if it if interest rates go up by one or 2% you're looking at ten and -- -- -- 7% decrease in the principal.
So that would really hurt you and I do think inflation is just around -- are actually.
If that gas prices today going up by thirty cents.
I'm from a month ago and food prices are projected three to 5%.
An average person in in their home is 200 dollars for the grocery bill per person to get -- up for re talking about an increase of 500 dollar for groceries for next year.
Very very very quickly it -- right we like actually specifically.
-- ahead Google and craft and their best yacht and the great defense Kraft is great -- 3% dividend.
-- yes that's an -- right now with a -- hang out with the F patent pending ego but.
A year ago my -- -- to be in the volatility of the markets and mom we need to put more money in my rock Bere we've gotten the book is up 46% today and that viola.

"This card was so many things, including elegant, matte, and gorgeous. The paper was a great thickness and the cards were a great size for addressing. I really enjoyed the font and the colors- white on black is very unexpected. Saying Valentine's Day Celebration (as opposed to "dinner," "cocktails," etc.) left me the freedom to use the card for an afternoon get-together. I highly recommend getting the corners rounded (adds a smooth touch). I'm keeping one for myself :) Enjoy!"
"Cute and unusual invitation for the chocolate party for my daughter's birthday. Loved the design--she wasn't too fond of the only color choice. She'll be 11 and hot pink is not a tween color choice; however, she (and her friends) loved the finished product. Double-check the size. The mock-up is deceiving. Finished product is about 3 x 4 inches. Paper quality and printing are superb! I paid extra for shipping/handling that provided a tracking method. It would be nice if that option was included in standard shipping. Shipping time was less than expected, which was a nice surprise."
"I loved that the card came with suggested verse--it really made it easy to cover all my bases and not leave out any pertinent information. The design was beautiful; very high quality. The cards came even faster than I thought they would, which was a very nice surprise. I'd definitely order from Tiny Prints again!"

Here's one that comes from a conversation I had today with a friend who works as a LBG at Gettysburg (note the irony): He, when comparing Vicksburg and Gettysburg, found that the significance of the loss of Vicksburg was greater than that of Gettysburg, and that the CW was really to be won in the West. I tend to agree with him. What about you folks? Pam |

No question. While Lee was beating out flames on his porch, the kitchen, parlor and bedrooms were being consumed. (The west. Grant actually said something like this in a post-war interview.) I'm glad your friend said the "significance of the loss," rather than the "loss," of Vicksburg. I don't figure that Vicksburg itself was all that important, but its loss was certainly significant in that, from that point on the boys in blue marched with relative impunity across the entire south. (Leaving Lee on his porch to which there was no longer a house attached.) Note to our young friends: That last sentence is not to be emulated. It is one of the most convoluted, abstruse sentences I've ever written. ole |

Actually Vicksburg was very important from a logistical point of view. A look at the rankings of the states west of the Mississippi regarding production of various important agricultural items reveals just how much the South lost when Vicksburg fell. these figures come from the Preliminary report on the eight census 1860: Arkansas: 7th in molasses 10th in asses and mules Louisiana: 1st in cane sugar 1st in cane molasses (7/8 of all U.S. production) Texas: 1st in working oxen 1st in domestic cattle 1st in sheep 3rd in horses 4th in milk cows 4th in asses and mules 7th in swine these states also combine to produce more than 50,000,000 bushels of Indian corn, 2,000,000 bushels of wheat, 5,000,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, and 11,000,000 pounds of butter. In addition at the time of the aforementioned census only eight states produced salt. Only two were confederate: Texas and Virginia. Texas produced 120,000 bushels of salt annually. Why was sugar/molasses so important? It was increasingly used as a form of currency. Want to purchase some meat from Florida or Tennessee for the AoNV? That will be one pound of sugar per pound of meat. Through what city/rail link did most of this sugar pass? Vicksburg. Want some Texas beef? Want some salt to preserve the meat regardless of whence it came? Want some rifles/powder/caps/uniforms smuggled from England via Mexico? Good luck without Vicksburg. Confederate artillery captured during the Vicksburg campaign: 254 cannon(85 heavy siege guns)= more than 11% of all guns cast by the Confederacy for the entire war. Confederate artillery captured at Gettysburg: 0 And of course there are many direct quotes from Lincoln, Davis, Grant , Sherman, Halleck, and many other prominent figures of the war voicing their almost universal declaration of Vicksburg's essential strategic importance. Keep in mind as well that I am a huge Gettysburg fan. But after doing much objective study on the subject I must concede that Gettysburg pales in strategic significance compared to Vicksburg. Unfortunately because it is in the western theater it has never gotten the proportionate amount of attention it is due. Nor did it receive the same amount of press coverage rendered Gettysburg at the time of the respective campaigns. I fear this is the common treatment of much of the western theater. |

I agree that Gettysburg got more press than Vicksburg, and that that's generally the way the western theater is viewed today. I really liked the list of goods you posted, because it was really a visual support of why Vicksburg was more significant. I'd venture to say that Gettysburg's significance comes mostly on a morale level, for both the Union troops and the people of the North. That's not a bad thing--in fact, was a positive thing for the AoP--but you can't eat it or trade with it. I, too, am a huge Gettysburg fan, but I think Vicksburg was way more significant where it counted, both for the Union and the Confederates. Everybody must be taking it easy this weekend, because it's been pretty quiet around this board! I'm resisting the urge to say something really controversial just to wake everybody up (sorry, though, can't think of anything at the moment)!

Is this a catchall term used to describe cured pork in general or is it and accurate term describing what we today know as bacon. If it is the latter, why would ther be so many wagon loads of just bacon? Suspect it's at least partly a catchall description, but my understanding is that bacon was bacon. (not salt pork, not ham, not smoked chops, not loins) And why so many wagon loads of just bacon? There are at least two reasons I can think of: the soldiers preferred it and it would keep -- scrape off the mold, heat and eat. There might be another possibility: it was flat. I'm guessing that more rations could be issued from a wagonload of carefully stacked bacon than a wagonload of salt pork in barrels. (and maybe not as heavy.) ole |

pamc153PA wrote: I agree that Gettysburg got more press... For quite a while, during and then after the war, Gettysburg received just as much press as any other US eastern victory. In fact, it was number of years before it outshone Appomattox. Chamberlain, for example, was bragging over his place at Appomattox right away; it was late in life before he burnished his role at Gettysburg. The shift of western generals to the east (Grant, Sheridan, Ord, et al) and the tremendous attrition of Gettysburg vets also diminished the short-term 'ink'. Eventually, as the significance of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address became more obvious, more and more emphasis, ink and and monuments came Gettysburg's way... HankC |

Thanks for the list Captain. Now a question: during that census year, how much of that enormous volume crossed the Mississippi and into what was to become the eastern Confederacy without the intercession of ferries, steamboats and seagoing vessels? What went through Vicksburg went downriver to New Orleans. What went through Memphis went downriver to New Orleans. The traffic from across the river on that piddly railroad to Monroe was not nearly enough provide the supply the eastern Confederacy required. By May, 1863, even that was cut off by infantry on the western bank of the river. The only real importance Vicksburg had was that it still blocked ships using the Mississippi. It had very little value as a point of transshipment. Perhaps its real value was in that of its symbolism. St. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans were firmly in Union hands; only Vicksurg remained before demonstrably splitting the already-split Confederacy. (The southern and northern citizen was not likely looking at Vicksburg in that way; it looked like the great victory it was -- although for different reasons, Grant and Sherman were doubtlessly pleased.) Just a thought. ole |

I'm backtracking here, and possibly have this in the wrong place, and if so, I'm sorry. Reading the post concerning Petersburg, somebody wrote (I'm too lazy at the moment to find out who) that maybe it isn't that exciting because at that point it was basically over except for waiting for the inevitable. My thought as I read that was that as of July 4, 1863, with the taking of Vicksburg and the Confederate loss at Gettysburg, the outcome was inevitable. Even though there were still battles to come such as the Wilderness and Spotsyvania, is there anybody out there that can paint a scenario that there could possibly be a different outcome to the CW? |

I have this vague recollection that the importance of openning the Mississippi River was to help out the shipping needs of states such as Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Wasn't a Mississippi River "running unvexed to the sea" politically important to Lincoln? |

TimK- Going forward from July of 1863- there is one scenario I can give you. Imagine that General McClellan won the presidential election of 1864. Lincoln himself earlier in that year expected to lose the election. It could well have happened if General Sherman had not made his march and captured Atlanta. If McClellan had won, there could well have been a different outcome to the war. After Mr. Lincoln was re-elected, there could only have been one outcome. |

My guess is "bacons" refers to "sides of bacon," rather than individualized "rations" of the meat. I'd also guess you get two sides per hog. The CSA lost an army at Vicksburg, too. Sure, they got some soldiers back later after parole/exchange/etc. transpired, but I'm not aware of the numbers and the actual loss of manpower. After Vicksburg, Grant's junior partner Rosecrans is even freer to concentrate on Bragg in east Tennessee. ArtorBart |

I have this vague recollection that the importance of openning the Mississippi River was to help out the shipping needs of states such as Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Wasn't a Mississippi River "running unvexed to the sea" politically important to Lincoln? In the two years that the Mississippi was closed, Midwest farmers shipped their grain east over railroads. RRs were more expensive than barges, so the farmers groused accordingly. (There may well have been some gouging in there as well.) Barge shipping is still less expensive than railroads, as you can see if you've ever watched traffic on the Ohio, Missouri, or the Mississippi and its feeders, but "running unvexed" remains more important politically than strategically. (One more hit on the dead horse "Because we can" has as much weight on the homefront as "because we must." Take Sherman's March, for example. Although cutting the flow of supplies to Lee at Petersburg was a "must," it was equally a spirit-raising demonstration of "can." Vicksburg was more a "can" than a "must." ole |

Bama- In early 1862, Mr. Lincoln had a conversation with Commander David Dixon Porter in which he explained the importance of controlling Vicksburg. (I don't have the original source at hand, but here is the conversation). " Here is the Red River, which will supply the Confederacy with cattle and corn to feed their armies. There are the Arkansas and White Rivers, which can supply cattle and hogs by the thousand. From Vicksburg these supplies can be distributed by rail all over the Confederacy. Valuable as New Orleans will be to us, Vicksburg will be even more so. We may take all the northern ports of the Confederacy, and they can still defy us from Vicksburg. It means hog and hominy without limit, fresh troops from all the states of the far south, and a cotton country where they can raise the staple without interference." The defeat at Gettysburg was very painful to the southern cause, but I believe that the losses of New Orleans and Vicksburg together were much more decisive. |

It's interesting that so far we've made a point for symbolic value for BOTH Vicksburg and Gettysburg. There's also been a good point made, and expanded upon, that politically and economically Vicksburg was significant. So. . . What WAS Gettysburg's significance, other than morale and symbolism? Out of the two, one coming on the heels of the other, Gettysburg far outranks Vicksburg in popular cultural reknown (haven't seen any movie in the works entitled simply Vicksburg have you?). Obviously, as the first real must-win victory for the Union army, and a reminder to Lee that maybe his men weren't as unstoppable as he thought, there's a sort of romantic view of that battle. But really, is there more to it? Opinions, please! Pam |

The comparison and significance of Vicksburg and Gettysburg has almost always been intriguing to me. While I do tend to lean toward the fall of Vicksburg as being more significant for the Confederacy than its loss at Gettysburg, it's a tenuous bent for me. The twin losses came within hours of each other. So over the course of the war, how do we really know which was the most significant battle? If Lee had won at G-burg, for example, would the loss at Vicksburg still have ended the war any quicker than it did? I don't know. If Lee wins at Gettysburg, the political implications multiply for both sides, I think. McPherson, for one, suggests that while the Confederacy might not have won the war with a victory at G-burg, the Union certainly could have lost the war with a defeat there. What I am prepared to guess is that the the victory at Gettysburg was the turning point of the war for the Army of the Potomac (as opposed to the Union Army, which is what I think you meant to say, Pam), and certainly, that was significant. The Union victory at G-burg clearly added to Lincoln's political capital, for sure (maybe even his his politcal capitol as well ) About a year ago Joe said he's seen it argued that the Union victory at Forts Henry and Donelson were the real turning point in the war. I laughed at him then. But after reading a bit more about Grant, and thus the western theater, I'm not so sure Joe isn't correct. (double negative there, which means I'm trying to say that Joe was correct). Of course, saying that underlines the significance of the western theater. Interesting stuff. |

Orient manager Russell Slade is pleased with the progress his side are making Pic: Simon O'Connor

O's chief is pleased with the progress being made
Orient manager Russell Slade is in an upbeat mood as the players come to the end of their second week of pre-season training.
The O's boss has now made eight summer signings, including four in the last week and is delighted with the way things are progressing.
"Things have been really good and the attitude and focus of the players has been first class," he said.
Slade now has 20 players signed for the new season and said: "Things are starting to come together now.
"It's a no-brainer that with the wage-capping system we will not have the biggest of squads, but everyone will be in the same boat if they play by the rules," said the O's chief.
Slade will be keen to steer clear of injuries and is delighted that both David Mooney and Scott Cuthbert are back in training.
Cuthbert suffered a hamstring injury at the end of the season, while Mooney underwent an ankle operation in the summer.
However, the O's boss admits he was disappointed not to be able to keep midfielder Matt Spring. "I was hoping we could do something, but it was very difficult as he was a big earner and the wage capping and cut in the budget meant it was tough.
"But he has got a family to support and has got himself sorted out and I wish him all the best as he was a good servant."

| Old Irish Folk Songs I've been in a strange mood lately. I can't get enough of these old-style Irish folk songs. I 'ave been mostly listening to... Red Is The Rose and The Butcher Boy. The second link is to a Clancy Brothers vid that was part of Scorsese's (how the hell do you spell that?) biopic of Bob Dylan. Great biopic, great music vid. Anyone got links to similar stuff that I might like? |

| Re: Old Irish Folk Songs As with Jack Im only just back from Ireland myself and the music sessions in the pubs there are like nothing else I've experienced. Black is the Colour is still one of my favourites, a friend of ours does a beautiful version not that she sings it often but if we bug her enough and shes had enough vodka and diet coke she sometimes gives in . And the band played Waltzing Matilda (actually an Australian Folk Song but I've only ever heard it during music sessions in Ireland) and Only our rivers run free would be another couple of favourites. Declan O'rourke is a contempory artist but certainly influenced by Irish music, I couldn't find a utube link but I'd recomend his song Till Death do Us Part- Marrying the Sea (The whole album Beyond Kyabram isnt bad), there's no music until the instrumental section that follows but I've listened to this again and again and I just really like it. |

I was surprised to see a thread on Irish music in here, it's not in general a common topic on the internet in my experience. Just thought I'd mention some of my favourites my self. I'm a big fan of the Dubliners and Christy Moore, the best artists about at the moment in my opinion. My favourite songs would have to be Dear old Skibbereen, Spancill Hill and the famous Fields of Athenry. Also Joxer goes to Stuttgart by Christy Moore is a great one though the English might not relish it. |

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ICAP Patent Brokerage announces for sale an innovative low inflammatory demineralized bone material – Allogeneic Bone Gel™ – for orthopedic applications from PlusLife® (formerly Perth Bone and Tissue Bank). PlusLife is a leading provider of high quality grafting materials for surgical treatment, and their novel demineralized bone material (DBM) has been cultivated through many years of research and studies.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100614/CG20517LOGO)
"The treatment of bone ailments and injuries provides unique challenges for orthopedic surgeons across the veterinary and human fields. This portfolio is highly relevant to the pharmaceutical and medical fields as the patented Allogeneic Bone Gel™ provides key advancements for surgical techniques such as bone grafting, fracture repair, and dental conditions," says Dean Becker, CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage.
Key Characteristics & BenefitsThe processes for producing traditional DBM result in a product that reduces beneficial growth factors and can cause inflammation, which leads to bone loss and orthopedic surgery failure. The patent portfolio covers a superior form of DBM and methods for its production.
PlusLife has developed a process for producing DBM-like material that provides the same level of mechanical properties as traditional DBM products, but which allows more of the naturally occurring growth factors to remain active. These growth factors in turn stimulate the growth of bone forming cells. The product, Allogeneic Bone Gel™, can be used in all of the normal orthopedic uses that traditional DBM products have been used, while providing a better biological support for implanting or infiltrating bone-forming cells and without the associated inflammatory issues.
A number of animal studies have been carried out, which demonstrate that Allogeneic Bone Gel™ is capable of producing vertebral fusion in the lumbar spine. Further studies have shown that the innovative material is a good carrier for autologous bone marrow cells, which induces spinal fusion and demonstrates new bone formation.
Find the detailed research findings and technical description of the patented Allogeneic Bone Gel™ IP sales offering.

Guitars for Vets uses music to heal
"The healing power of music in the hands of heroes"
You would think in a country with the vast resources of the United States, the treatment and support of war veterans wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, while we salute the courage and sacrifice of our troops when we send them into harm's way, the mental and emotinal health of these brave men and women tends to be ignored once they return home. That is why it is vital to support nonprofit organizations like Guitars for Vets.
Utilizing what they call the "healing power of music" to support the health and well-being veterans, Guitars for Vets provides them with free private guitar instruction and a new acoustic guitar.
Established in 2007, the program is run by volunteers, primarily through Veterans Administration facilities and veterans centers. The goal of the program is to assist veterans suffering from significant post-combat mental and emotional distress, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
Over the past five years, Guitars for Vets has established chapters in14 states across the country. For more information about this great organization, visit www.guitarsforvets.org or www.facebook.com/guitarsforvets.
In support of Guitars for Vets, local metal band Conniption, and hard rockers Circleswitch and Katella, will be hosting a benefit concert at Waukesha hotspot Rooters Night Club (901 Northview Road), on Friday, Nov. 9, 2012.
Doors will open at 8 p.m.; cover is a $10 donation. All proceeds go to Guitars for Vets. Active and inactive military personnel get free entry with proper ID. You must be at least 21 to attend.

And interest thing right there we talked -- about Mitt Romney -- tax plan but he's continuing to face pressure to release his tax returns.
And one former Republican governor and her staffers saying that the GOP candidate should follow in her footsteps and release those return.
It's a former New Jersey governor and EPA administrator Christie Todd Whitman joins us now governor your former Press Secretary wrote a piece recently that said.
Mitt Romney should take.
What you faced.
During mid back in 1993 year under pressure -- one year to release your tax friends indeed did you put to rest there though nobody is.
So is mr.
Romney making a mistake that by dragon this out.
It's death by a thousand cuts and people are mentioning worsening could possibly be I was in Texas not too long ago couple weeks ago -- the doorman at the hotels and when's he gonna just put it out there put it behind it and I said well you know they're worried about bad things that we know the bad things there.
Just get it over -- so the average people on the street are saying.
Just get this behind you and I wish she'd done it right from the get focus now it is becoming more Mormon issue what.
We look bad things adding a lot of people thought on both sides of the -- even -- I'm sure the Democrats would admitted that Harry Reid.
Senator -- would open the line a little Yahoo! over the totally over the -- didn't have the source could name that in just the speculating.
But you're saying that there are bad.
You know I'm not Iranian that they -- -- people are thinking -- bad thing and it gets her release and you start thinking let me start making up stuff of a -- didn't he's got offshore accounts and hidden things I am absolutely positive.
To the extent that I can being outside the campaign of Mitt Romney is and nothing illegal.
He may have taken advantage of tax breaks that you're allowed it to which your lap and take advantage and that's fine.
But that's what people will spinach or.
There -- those who say they don't want to see how much Bain capital's in their who knows have been people are speculating on all kinds of things -- just make it worse than what it is but the fact that someone in Texas would make that remark to you is it too late at this point because.
It seems as if the Obama administration.
Obama campaign is -- Friday.
The conversation what -- driving much of -- even when he comes out with it now be much worse that would have been -- just done upfront which every candidate has had the dual by the way you know we know you have to release more than just the year -- -- gonna get away with.
Romney's chances are I -- justified the math you -- to say.
That the president being an incumbent -- -- -- sixty some electoral votes last time is that is a favorite.
And -- he has to get.
To to seventy to win now so you -- just a small amount of people in a few states that are gonna decide this and today it's quite -- this caricature of Romney is say the rich guy who doesn't connect and those few people that really decide the election.
Now but -- the economy isn't doing better than is doing today I think -- Mitt Romney has a very good chance when he's gonna talk it's always tough for the against income.
Come -- I mean yes right now this month Mitt Romney out.
Raised President Obama learned in the last week but you have the advantage of the incumbency which gives you a lot of leeway and and -- worth a whole lot of money in the bank but how would you spend that money speaking about that money back if you're -- part of Romney's campaign how do you spend that money because the Obama campaign is clearly concerned.
About there -- fund -- Now William go at those states that are the key to the 270 votes and where you figure you you have the chance to do what you can't alienate our state you can't lose Florida.
You have to look at Ohio and you have to look at and Illinois you wanna keep those states -- in play.
And you want to make Romney spend money -- doesn't need to we shouldn't need to welcoming you make -- is the Obama spend money -- -- -- -- would you pick as they pay.
-- I would say Portman.
Well from -- now I think well Chris Christie would be great as it I don't think that would he he's his own person.
And that would be a tough spot creative in great keynote speaker -- At a convention IQ governor governor thank you -- -- -- anti women.

"service; exceptional, room; not so"
the young lady at the desk was very helpful in switching our upstairs room to a ground level room to accomodate my wife's injured knee. The breakfast attendant was likewise accomodating.The room had several areas that needed attention...the shower stall was in need of a make-over, the sink faucet dripped, there was dust on the coffee maker and coffee […] packs. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Disgusting and horrible customer service"
Room was very dusty and nasty. Sheets weren't cleaned/washed and had a stain/maybe wasn't washed just made to look like it was washed. Air conditioner cover was damaged. Rugs were damaged. Toilet wasn't flushing right. Had a surprise inside the toilet when I went to open the lid to use the first time. No toilet paper had to request for it. Had to go […] get it from front desk. Front desk person couldn't find my room to be checked out and print out total charges summary. Never again will I use Quality Inn. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"close to MCG"
Very much satisfied with room. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable and odor free. I would stay again.Verifierad gästrecension
"Decent Place"
For the money, it was a nice enough establishment. Bedspread was worn out, but I throw that off the bed first thing anyway (most hotels don't launder them after each guest) . The entry door had a half inch gap on the doorknob side, but the deadbolt seemed to make good contact, so while secure it was a source of outside noise. I was in town one night […] for a funeral, if it had been a longer stay, I would have chosen a different location. MerVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Very decent hotel"
Good deal for the money, better than expected. Room was clean, quiet and everything was in working order. Rooms don't have central air, window units are relatively quiet but since I'm a sensitive sleeper I preferred to use ear buds. I recommend this place highly for the low-maintenance traveler who needs a bed for the night.Verifierad gästrecension
Very convenient to the hospital MCG. My oldest son had surgery and it was only a block away from the parking garage, didn't even have to fight with traffic. It is on the nicer side of town. But still a little cautious with my kids and belongings. The continental breakfast was great. Pool was a plus, although I was not looking for one. Service was very […] friendly. Beds were not so bad, but nothing ever beats the comfort of your own home. Very good place to stay, would most def stay again if ever needed to. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"nice for the price"
Overall, a good stay. Needed towels, got em; a better than average breakfast buffet; very clean and semi-updated with flat screens.Verifierad gästrecension
"Great place to stay."
The Hotel was in better condition then I expected.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Comfortable, clean and close to hospital"
Best hotel we have stayed at while in Augusta for medical appointments. Very clean, prices were reasonable and staff very friendly. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone and especially anyone who needs short distance MCG.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Very average, Very thin walls, overall just fine"
Was about what I expected. Moderately low-end but nothing terrible. Walls very thin so every noise outside/next room heard. Clean. Nice people. Jacked up prices for Masters week but so was every other hotel in Augusta that week.Verifierad gästrecension
"Great Overall!"
Very clean, and nice staff. Time for breakfast could be extended a little longer for late sleepers such as myself.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Great location and service!!"
I've stayed here twice due to appointments at MGC and it was so great to be able to stay in a clean and comfy room after a long drive. It's perfect location in proximity to the hospital and the staff is awesome....Thank you for yet another great stay!!!Verifierad gästrecension
"1 nighter"
Rough location but near the MCG hospital. No towels in bathroom. Cig burns to comforter. You get what you paid for.Verifierad gästrecension
The room had torn drapes, trash left on the floor under the bed, the coffee maker had grounds left in it from the previous occupant, and there were multiple cigarette burns in the bedding in a non-smoking room. The bathroom was reasonable clean and the desk ersonel were very polite.Verifierad gästrecension
convenient, easy to get to, met all basic needsVerifierad gästrecension
Improved over last year.Verifierad gästrecension
"Great place to stay for Triathlon"
There was an "air freshener" smell that penetrated some of the things we carried into the room. The bed spread had a cigarette burn and was a little torn. Other than that, it was a much better room than the Ramada downtown. The quality of the staff was amazing, especially a woman(angel) that was working the breakfast early on Sun 9/30.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia

"Good for interview stay"
I flew into Augusta regional airport and I must say driving to the hotel was quite uneasy, the neighborhood is not exactly the safest. Once by the hotel there are fire stations and police stations and the major Hospital facility. The area right in front of the hospital, which is wear the hotel is considerably safe. The hotel room is very clean and the […] bathroom was spotless. I had an interview at the hospital and found it very convenient to so close <2min to parking garage from the hotel. Starbucks is located inside the VA facility for you coffee fanatics! Overall I would recommend this hotel. MerVerifierad gästrecension

"A nice night's stay"
I had business meetings all day and late into the evening so I didn't get to the relaxing part of the hotel....breakfast was ok. The egg patties were a little dry and the coffee cups were too small for the to go tops but all that was minor. I had a 7am meeting at the hospital so I knew I could get something later. But the bed was soooo comfortable I […] was so refreshed in the morning, I never knew I had 3.5 hrs of sleep. MerVerifierad gästrecension

"Quality Inn at Medical Center"
Wireless did not work for most of the day, fridge was dirty, phone did not work the entire time I was there. Area hotel is in is very run-down. I complained about the phone and wireless but neither issue was addressed. The person working the front desk spent most of her time out front talking to someone in a car. Several calls went unanswered while […] I waited on her to come back in. MerVerifierad gästrecension

"So bad it was funny"
There was nothing wrong with the hotel. The bathroom could have been cleaned better, but for price it was acceptable. The service however was another story. We arrived late, just after midnight, and went to the front entrance. (I had noted in the comments that we would be arriving late.) The door was locked but there was a women working at the counter. […] She acknowledged us and held up a finger asking us to wait. After about 15 minutes of her taking phone calls, and walking back behind the counter with occasional glances up to see if we were still there we called the hotel. She answered right away and told us to come to the side entrance where they have a late night window. I'm not sure why she didn't simply point to that side (there was nothing posted at the front door about a separate window), maybe she assumed that we should know about it. She gave us our reservation and directed us to our room. (Though she seemed shocked and surprised that I would ask her where the room was.) Driving around the hotel to the room we drove past it, and thought it was strange that the lights were on and somebody was smoking right outside of the room. We decided to check it out anyway, parked and walked up to the room. The blinds were open and we could see that the room was occupied so we went back to the late night check in window. Upon arriving at the late night window we were directed to the main entrance, which was now open. (???) As soon as we walked in she said "There was somebody else in that room, right?". Even though she knew that it was occupied she seemed confused as to how it happened. She then proceeded to ask me 3 times if we needed separate beds (My coworker and myself, 2 grown men) and seemed surprised when each time I said yes. Eventually we received our new reservation and got into our room, at 1:20AM. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Wet Feet"
We reserved a room with a king bed and got one with two standard beds. After getting all our things in the room we found the toilet leaking and had to turn off the toliet water supply after flushing. Not enough towels.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
Svar via Quality Inn Medical Center Area Thank you for your comment .I apologize for any inconvenience that you may have experienced ,we hope that we will have an opportunity to host you during your next visit to Augusta
upon arrivial we were registered, given key and away to our room. Room was clean, large and adequate for our needs. Found the toilet would not shut the water off when flushed and the sink sprayed water onto the backsplash. Notified front desk, attendeant came to the room to check the problems. It was decided to move us to another room. 1st room seemed […] to have been used and not completely serviced. 2nd room had no lights. 3rd room was suitable, comfortable and restful. Only problem with this room was caulking was missing in some areas around the tub thereby letting water get behind the tub and wall. Some unfortunate circumstances to say the least. I feel the maintenance is not adequate for a public facility such as this. This facility is very near to the hospital. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Quality Inn Medical Center"
The hotel was convenient to my job interview and had good ratings, so I booked it. Overall I agree with previous reviewers - it was pretty inexpensive, my room was clean, the staff were nice, and they provided a free breakfast. Downsides were the neighborhood (not particularly a good one), it is next to the medical center so I frequently heard sirens […] the evening I stayed, outdoor entry which felt less secure, and the biscuits provided at the hot breakfast were as hard as a rock. However, I would recommend this place if you were looking for an inexpensive place to stay for an evening. MerVerifierad gästrecension

"Great value for money spent"
One of the best all-time hotel experiences I have ever had the privilege of enjoying. I always book cheap and expect cheap quality - definitely got more than I expected. Great service from staff and they provided shuttle service to my nearby event. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise with respectable selection; not just bagels and juice. Room included […] microwave, fridge, and various amentities that pricier hotels do not include. Good location, reasonable access to nearby events, and easy to find. Very pleased with this selection and would definitely go again. MerVerifierad gästrecension

"Quality Inn - Medical Center, Augusta, GA"
I booked two rooms here for a one night stay. I was so shocked when I got to the hotel - the people working in the lobby were dirty, the lobby was dirty and the rooms were unbelievably dirty. On top of being dirty, I felt the area was not the safest for two single women to be in. And I really could not sleep on the bed - was afraid of bugs!! My friend […] said she would just have to sleep in the car if we stayed. We drove back home that night!!! AWFUL! AWFUL! AWFUL! MerVerifierad gästrecension

need a cheap room for quick overnight stay I guess this will suffice but there's got to be better places in Augusta. Breakfast bar was pretty bad- just not a comfortable place.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"No Air Conditioning No Help"
No air conditioning - it just blew hot air. Shower drain was also mostly blocked. Not a very clean feeling room or lobby. I would not stay there again.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Don't stay there!!!!"
We were very disappointed with our recent stay at Quality Inn in Augusta. We requested a non-smoking room, but the room definitely smelled like smoke. The pull-out couch mattress had no bedding on it and had huge stains on it. We called the front desk and they were helpful in bringing in a roll away bed. However, we will definitely NOT stay there or […] recommend it to anyone. The neighborhood was pretty rundown also. We wanted to switch hotels, but unfortunately it was late at night and there were no hotels in the area that had rooms. MerVerifierad gästrecension

It was good place to stay working around UMN. They also have shuttle service around campus. Quite nice deal with the price.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia

Very good breakfast. Free computer with printer. Free newspaper. Near local hospitals (visited my mother after operation). Comfortable room. Good shower and bath. Helpful staff. Depressing area. Oppressive weather. Candy wrappers etc. in hotel's public area.Verifierad gästrecension
今回は知人の訪問にあたり、利用しました まず良い点です ・部屋は広く、風呂、シーツなどは綺麗で不快感は感じません 水栓、空調も問題ないです ・スタッフの対応も不快感は感じません 次に悪い点です ・駅からは距離があるかもしれないです(自分は送迎は知人の車でお願いしていたので細かくはわかりませんが) ・知人いわく周りの治安はあまり良くないようです ・ドアキー(カードキータイプ)が頻繁に効かなくなり、受付に行かなくてはいけなかった 今回はロケーションは自分には重要にならなかったので、 以上をふまえ、評価は3ですVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia

Wonderful single level, hilltop home in the Las Estrellas Hills on 1+ acre, just minutes from the Plaza and 599 access. This property shows like new with lots of windows, light and views! A spacious, open living area includes a Chef's kitchen with beautiful cabinetry, granite counter top, great island with second sink for the best in entertaining large groups or small. This all opens into an inviting great room with high ceilings, fireplace and meant for comfortable living. A more formal dining room overlooking the surrounding hills / mountains is terrific for those more special occasions. The living room with fireplace, offers more views and provides an intimate feeling. There is a nice separation between the attractive master bedroom suite and the two guest rooms and bath, plus powder room. Attractive landscaping with auto irrigation system is found surrounding the exterior, including the lovely drive up to the property.

Classically durable, this wedding ring is crafted in platinum with a substantial feel, squared sides, and a rounded interior surface for comfortably wearing band.
Very good quality and delivery
Maria, Mexico City, Mexico – September 2013
This ring is beautiful. It's got heft to it -- it feels like a good, solid ring and looks lovely on. When ordering keep in mind that "comfort fit" rings run big. This is not specified on the website although if you call and ask customer service will advise you of it. Order a half size down. We had to exchange for a smaller size, but the customer service was AMAZING and it was so easy.

In the wake of the Marlins recent controversial salary-dump trade, a Miami Herald-commissioned survey of 400 self-described Marlins fans found club owner Jeffrey Loria to be only slightly more popular in South Florida than hated Cuban diablo Fidel Castro.
I found that shocking.
Not that Loria would be proven so unpopular but rather that there were still 400 people left calling themselves Marlins fans!
A poll in my own blog found that fans advocating a boycott of the team because of Loria outnumbered by nearly a 5-1 margin those fans who will continue to support the Marlins.
Meantime, the NBAs Phoenix Suns this week will have a Satisfaction Guaranteed Night, in which fans who say they did not have fun get their money back. It was immediately voted the Promotion Least Likely To Be Adopted By The Marlins.
In other Miami-related news, the Alabama Crimson Tide led by coach Nick Saban were favored to win Saturday and reach the Jan. 7 BCS National Championship Game in Miami against Notre Dame. Saban, of course, is despised by many locals for the way he left the Dolphins for Alabama after swearing he wouldnt.
The good news: Saban back in town would now qualify as no worse than a distant third as most unpopular man in Miami.

• Can you imagine 175-million-to-1 odds? The only worse odds I can think of? Probably Giancarlo Stanton signing a contract extension with the Marlins.
