Vote Rico S. Giron for San Miguel County Sheriff in the general election on Tuesday November 2, 2010.
Citizens Advisory Committee |
URGENT READ: The Law of The concept of a Citizen's Advisory Committee is very unique in my Sheriff's Office. It is an opportunity for the Citizens of the County to hold the Sheriff's Office accountable to the Citizens of the County that elected the Sheriff into office in the first place. There are not many Sheriff's Offices in the entire country that have set up Citizen's Advisory Committees. This can serve as a great opportunity for greater Citizen involvement and participation in the County affairs. I will establish an advisory committee of five volunteers that represent a cross section of the general population. Upon first thought, I listed a housewife, a nurse, a college student, a teacher and a professor. This list however, is not written in stone. If there exists a better cross section of the population I am more than happy to have that reflected in the advisory committee. This Citizen's Advisory Committee will coordinate extremely well with the Open Door Policy for a couple reasons. During the Open Door Policy hours any Citizen can come in with their written complaint concerning any employee in the Sheriff's Office, including the Sheriff himself, deposit it with the Sheriff, receive a receipt for their documentation and it will be forwarded to the Citizen's Advisory Committee. On the other hand, should a Citizen not feel comfortable dealing with the Sheriff in person, there will be a posting of the contact information for the Citizen's Advisory Committee at the designated Office where I will hold office hours for my Open Door Policy. This contact information will be available at all times to all Citizens of the County through various means including publishing the contact information in the local newspaper. This way a Citizen can deal directly with the Citizen's Advisory Committee and never have to feel intimidated by the Sheriff. Once the Citizen's Advisory Committee is established, they can put in place further safeguards for the privacy and protection of the Citizen filing the complaint, thereby eliminating the opportunity for retaliation against the complaining Citizen on the part of the Sheriff's Office. Again, a fair warning to the Citizens of the County, you will be expected to involve yourself as a Citizen in creating solutions to daily problems that you encounter by using your God-given intelligence and creativity. You will be expected to empower yourself by engaging the process of Freedom. You will be expected to join the Community Policing Programs or establish one in your neighborhood. You will be expected to join or establish the "Keep Thy Neighbor" neighborhood association in your neighborhood. You will be expected to join the Sheriff's Volunteer Posse. Only through maximum Citizen participation, involvement and engagement in the process of Freedom can the County be made safer for our children, our families and our neighbors. - Rico S. Giron, Future Sheriff of San Miguel County |

That's right… she's having twins!
I roped Jenee into a mini maternity session on Memorial Day when she came to BBQ with us at the property. They are already approved for adopting two babies from Colombia (which is now on hold), so I'm not certain if she'll ever be preggers again after twins plus two (pretty certain- cough)?! Can't wait to meet the little ones. It's a bonus that twins come early… cause they have tons of friends and family dying to meet 'em!
Proud papa.
She's so beautiful pregnant.
Barefoot. Pregnant. Before she's in the kitchen. She does it all boys…
Couldn't resist posting this one. We really were shootin' cans and quail up there that day. Her brothers a Marine who has served 3 tours!! Ooo-rah. It's in her genes.

Langkawi Lowdown
If the soaring rainforests, pristine beaches, steamy paddy fields and azure water don't make you want to throw in your day job and emigrate to Langkawi, the duty free booze will. ... Read more »
Nestled in the Andaman Sea, 30km off the coast of mainland Malaysia, Langkawi is both a single island and an archipelago of – depending who you talk to – either 99 or 104 such islands (counting becomes a little tricky when duty free drinking is involved).
Langkawi (the island) is a heady mix of the old and the new. Boasting untamed jungle at its centre (you can get a taste of it at Langkawi Wildlife Park and Snake Sanctuary), the island has developed into a tourist Mecca without relinquishing its hold on the traditional. An adventure on Langkawi could either take in traditional handicrafts at the Handicrafts Cultural Centre, lazing around on Tanjung Rhu Beach, or buying oversized bottles of pump-action vodka at bargain basement prices.
It could see yourself dangling precariously in a cable car 708m above sea level (not advised if you have recently partaken of the aforementioned vodka), or it could see your credit card getting a hammering in Kuah's shopping complexes. In Langkawi, you set the pace, no matter whether you want to immerse yourself in history, sunshine or 80% proof alcohol.
Langkawi's Top 10
10. Masjid Al Hana (Al Hana Mosque) Breathtaking mosque with traditional architecture. |
5. Kompleks Kraf A palatial handicrafts centre where you can watch traditional craft-making and purchase authentic artefacts. |
9. Crocodile Farm Tour Allows you to get up close and personal with some toothy friends. |
4. Langkawi Cable Car Takes you to the peak of Gunung Machinchang. |
8. Field of Burnt Rice The site of a mass rice-field burning by the Malaysians in 1821 to prevent the invading Siamese from getting the food. |
3. Air Terjun Temerun Waterfall Located in the Mat Cincang Nature park, this waterfall is either spectacular or… not. (Make sure you see it in the April-October wet season!) |
7. Underwater World Offers a glimpse at Malaysia's teeming ocean life. |
2. Gua Cerita Is a mystical cave, thought to have played host to both a captive Chinese princess and a lonely giantess. Not at the same time, obviously. |
6. Kota Mashuri Legendary tomb of a woman wrongfully accused of adultery. When she was killed her blood was pure white, proving her innocence. Pretty high price to pay for a good reputation. |
1. Black Sands Beach Ancient fishing villages and no shortage of myths as to how the sand became black, this one is definitely worth a visit. |

Langkawi Local
Langkawi's answer to the Vegas Strip, what Pantai Cenang may lack in bright lights and casinos it certainly makes up for in spirit. By day, the pristine white beach is dotted with barely-moving sun-worshippers and frolicking children; by night, crowds of backpackers and Asian tourists alike merge in a throng of eating, drinking and shopping excitement. Make the most of a tropical breeze with an ice-cold drink at the Beach Garden Resort Beer Garden or stimulate your tastebuds with some spicy local fare at the Champor Champor Restaurant and Bar.
If, during your stay in Pantai Cenang, you grow weary of blissful relaxation… slap yourself. But if the nine-to-fiver in you still rears its ugly head, there are plenty of attractions to keep you entertained. Laman Padi is a nearby rice field where you can take an eco-tour to discover how the lifeblood of Malaysia's farming industry is grown and produced. Underwater World is also worth a visit, even though non-Malays have to pay more.
Kuah Town
Name your poison… then buy it duty-free in Kuah, a town that's alive with the buzz of consumerism. It's not as beautiful as Pantai Cenang (Kuah's waters are often as murky as the authenticity of the 'genuine' DVDs being peddled in its street markets), but it boasts brilliant shopping, bars and restaurants in and around Dataran Lang, the central square topped by a majestic eagle sculpture. (Why? Because Langkawi means 'reddish-brown eagle' in ancient Malay.)
For something a little different, check out Al Hana Mosque or trek to the top of Gunung Raya, Langkawi's highest peak. Beware, though, as a curse is said to have been laid on the hill by the giant Mat Raya.
Datai Bay
For high-end luxury and seclusion, Datai Bay is the bee's knees, the cat's whiskers and the dog's… something. Go celebrity-spotting (aka stalking) on the white sand, take in a round of at the über-elite Datai Golf Club, or gaze on tropical rainforest while having all the stress massaged out of you at the Mandara Spa. If you don't mind parting with your cash, the Gulai @ Andaman should not be missed. An open-air rainforest restaurant accessible via a traditional 'Titi' bridge, the Gulai serves Indian/Malay cuisine and has a garlic naan and chicken tandoori so decadent you'll want to cry tears of spicy joy.
Langkawi Eats
From traditional Malaysian delights to an Indo-Malay-German ménage à trois of flavour, Langkawi is the place to open your mind and undo the button on your jeans.
Gulai @ Andaman Decadent, exclusive and set in the sensual, steamy rainforest, this is the perfect place to fall in love. Even if the object of your affections is your entrée. |
Hawker Stalls Check out the range of local delights available along, where aromas drift up and mingle with the sea air. |
Backofen Restaurant Reasonably priced with great service, this is the ultimate in East-meets-West. If you thought the only time Malaysian and German could work well together was in your uncle Gustaf's marriage to his Internet girlfriend, think again. |
Red Tomato Splash Beach Café Run by expats and offering all-day breakfasts, the brightly painted interior may be hard on the hangover but great for the gut! |
Breakfast Bar The old saying that you should never judge a book by its cover applies here in spades. Delicious and well-priced |
Ikan Ikan So nice they named it twice, this eatery is built in the style of a traditional Malaysian home and offers open-air dining in the grounds of the Four Seasons Resort. |
Aquarium Seafood Garden Follow the locals and you'll find this pearl in the oyster of seafood restaurants. Lauded as the best seafood in Langkawi, this restaurant serves lobsters that were in the ocean just that morning. |
Saffron While prices are predictably high (it's located within the grounds of the Tanjung Rhu Resort), the indoor/outdoor setting and dazzling views dampen the sting of the bill. |
Restoran Siti Fatima The place to go for a taste of North Malaysian cuisine. Try the gulai ikan talang masin (salted fish curry). |
Seven Roof Restaurant Set on a rooftop, this one pleases both aesthetically and gastronomically. |
Langkawi Events
February is a busy month for events, hosting the Royal Langkawi International Regatta for yacht-lovers; Le Tour de Langkawi, the richest cycling race in Asia; and the wonderfully messy Squid Scooping Challenge.
In February/March, Langkawi's Chinese community celebrates Kedah Chap Goh Mai, where pretty young maidens throw oranges into the sea.
In April, the Langkawi Water Festival features 30 water sports and beach games. Participate to win top prizes or just turn up and watch to win lucky-draw prizes.
In July, the Department of Agriculture organises the Rambutan Trail. Sounds dull, until you realise rambutan is the local fruit that has to be tasted to be believed.
31 August is Merdeka Day (Malaysia's Independence Day). Celebrations start the night before and continue on and on and on…
In November, Langkawi hosts the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace exhibition, followed by the Langkawi Arts and Crafts Festival in December.
When To Go
Located on the northern hemisphere side of the equator (but only just), Langkawi enjoys a tropical climate where 'seasons' don't really apply. Temperatures are consistently around
30-35°C (86-95°F) during the day, only dropping to around 28°C (82°F) at night.
Like the rest of Malaysia, Langkawi's climate is split between Wet (roughly April to October) and Dry (roughly November to March) seasons;
Rainfall is heaviest around August/September, when Langkawi experiences monsoonal rains. The islands are much quieter at this time.
Humidity is around 80%, so be prepared to sweat and leave the hair-straightener at home. (If you tend towards the frizz it's likely your hair will form a Jimi Hendrix-style afro the moment you set foot on the island. Embrace it.)
Getting There And Around
Langkawi is accessible by air from Kuala Lumpar and boat from Kuala Kedah, Kuala Perlis and Penang. You can also get there by ferry from Satun in Thailand.
Once on the island, you can choose between renting a car (keep your driver's licence with you at all times and be aware that the roads vary from 'good' to 'clutch-the-steering-wheel-and-pray') or 150cc scooter (avoid sleeping buffaloes while on the bike and unlicensed, uninsured touts while renting it, and remember that wearing a helmet is compulsory). In rural areas, the locals' attitudes to road rules are casual at best, so slow down. Alternatively, take a taxi but agree on a fare in advance to avoid being scammed.
What To Miss
On Langkawi, this really depends on what you're looking for in a holiday.
For maximum relaxation, bypass Kuah Town and head to a pristine beach like Pantai Cenang. The shopping is exciting in town, but you can experience similar markets throughout mainland Malaysia.
For an authentic taste of local culture and life on Langkawi, avoid the exclusive resorts. They're beautiful, but you'll leave without much of a cultural insight.
For a molestation-free holiday, give Tengorak Beach a miss. Gangs of local monkeys (seriously!) have a habit of attacking humans for food. They'll scatter if you pretend to pick up a stone to throw at them, though. Cowards!

I'm just pulling things I want to get done on a single day into one list. As I use Omnifocus for the iPad as my main system, all I have to do to to accomplish that is flag it. My flagged list is my punch list for the day. Everything is still in it's original context. If I don't get it done, I just remove the flag and it goes to where it was.
I am the Party
To David Allen and bcmyers2112: I'm sorry. I've realized that I probably shouldn't have used the phrase "straw man". I only meant that I thought you were arguing against a position that, as far as I was aware, nobody had been advocating. I didn't intend to imply that you were doing that deliberately.
Inability is an abstract thing involving comparison with alternate universes; it cannot be experienced.
Forum Enthusiast
Yeah, I'm thinking that we conceptualize things differently. If we can figure out how to communicate that to each other, we might each learn a new way of viewing the world. I'm thinking maybe we conceptualize time differently.
An example of conceptualizing differently: some people think of time like a number line, perhaps with the past at the left. Some think of the future as in front of them and the past behind them. Incidentally, I tend to think of a year as a circle like a clock; this means I tend to remember at what time of year something happened but not necessarily which year it was. I don't think that's where we had trouble, but I think you describe something as "in the moment" when to me it would be a finite (non-zero) length of time which can be subdivided into things happening at different times (possibly only a few seconds apart). I tend to use the same sets of words and mental images to apply at very different timescales. Perhaps for you, "previously" implies a certain length of time, for example at least an hour ago or at least a day ago, whereas for me, it might apply to any length of time, even only a few seconds -- although I don't absolutely go to extremes: the word may still tend to connote longer times even for me, but less so than it does for you, I think. I tend to think like a mathematician. I may also tend to focus more on similarities than on differences, and more on possibilities than on restrictions; this may be part of thinking like a mathematician.
Just to illustrate the types of misunderstandings that can occur when people visualize things differently: one can think of time this way: you're staying still and time is flowing past you like a river. Or, you can think of it this way: time is a landscape and you're walking along in it. Depending on which type of image is in your mind, sentences like "Let's move the meeting forward two days" can mean opposite things (moving it from Wednesday to Monday, or from Wednesday to Friday, respectively). http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/back.html The same person might use these two different images at different times and use or interpret those sorts of sentences differently, without being aware of doing so. Again, I don't think that's the specific difference between our ways of thinking; it may be something else we haven't pinpointed yet.
Inability is an abstract thing involving comparison with alternate universes; it cannot be experienced.
The word priority is used in so many different ways that it can make anyone confused, and it can be used for so many different practical purposes (with different kinds of real consequences).
I like the simple and intuitive definition that if anything makes me "excited or anxious or watchful etc" (usually due to its importance or urgency, value, risk, credibility etc etc), then the "priority" is high. And conversely.
Essentially, in practice, priority to me is just another way of saying "I want to see and consider this more often". I find it very useful to mark my tasks and projects in this way, and base my review frequencies etc on this.
I do not infer any time limits, nor any element of "must do this before I do that" from my definition of priority.
Priority, in the sense I use it, is just one of all the factors I weigh in mentally when selecting which tasks to do. Context (and the effort of switching contexts), energy and priority etc all needs to be looked at as a whole.

That risk certainly might exist if you have no safeguards to forestall it.
The philosophy I use is:
1. keep them within the same list, such that they always shop up when filtering for certain contexts, energy types etc
2. tag them carefully (never put anything there unless it has sufficient tags to be found by ad hoc filtering )
3. keep reviewing them at regular intervals, only more seldom. For example, I review my low priority Next during my weekly review only.
4. move them up to normal or high if you see a reason to (at the weekly review)
The whole point of this is that these tasks really are no problem in any way at all; they are just things that you are certainly going to do; no second thoughts or anything; perfectly willing to do them anytime; just that they are nothing you are going to go out of your way to get done. You will do them when the right opportunity comes along. I have plenty of those. It works beautifully for me.
But I have heard people who hide them away on a different list, and then forget to check there. That sounds dangerous. I believe it is truly key that they sit on the same list, such that you automatically see them whenever you filter for errands or low energy tasks or whatever.
Forum Enthusiast
EDIT. This post is an answer to a post that has now disappeared. It related to the distinction time-wise between Next and Someday/Maybe:
That's another distinction that I perhaps make a bit differently than others.
I keep only the Maybes in Someday/Maybe, i.e. only the ones I am not sure I want to do.
On my Next list I keep everything that I am sure I am prepared and able to do. As long as I have no hesitation they stay there. I am against having any time limit for my Next list.
I want these low priority Next tasks available for context filtering. For example I may have some not-too-important thing to buy from a particular shop far away. I will definitely buy it if and when I get there; no question; but i am not going to drive there just for that. (And I do not need to see that task in my daily review; that's why I keep it flagged as low priority)
If I would put that task in Someday I would sure miss it, because I never search my Someday for Next tasks.

Different software may allow for different implementations. You may have your things in different lists and still be able to look at selections from across all these lists, or you may have your things coded as categories etc within just one single list etc. There may be many different ways to accomplish the same thing.
What I want is (and by "separation" here I mean in terms of some convenient list/view/filtering capability):
- no separation based on subjective time expectations, timelines, targets etc (I use no such things)
- separation of the Maybes from the Definitelys
- separation based on "importance/anxiety" (in addition to context, energy etc)
- be able to conveniently find all Definitely actions that match certain criteria (whether all the Definitelys are all in one single Next list or spread across a several lists).
- be able to conveniently find all Definitelys of a particular "importance/anxiety" level for reviews with differentiated frequency, and correspondingly for the Maybes, but using slower review cycles.

For those of you who don't know me I'll let you in on a secret, I'm naturally very lazy! Cold, wet and windy is perfect weather for curling up with a good book and not doing anything until it goes away. Which at times can mean the entirety of winter! So how is it I ended up trying to ride 800km in one month? Well I have an over developed sense of curiosity and I was curious to see if I could do it and what it would take. So I thought I'd give it a go, it couldn't hurt that much right?
As a bit of background I usually ride between 300 and 400 km a month, a little more in summer due to the amount of organised ride and often less in winter. March had been a fairly lean month for me with a nasty cold and issues with my glute muscles. But April started well with the 100km Grand Slam which did end with me rolling around on the oval with sever cramp up the inside of both my thighs. CLP was very gentlemanly and didn't laugh at me too much though he did point out that he got it all the time in his calves (I still think mine was worse).
The plan for me was to try and do more commuting and extend the rides home a bit. The first week was fine, though I was a bit nervous about triggering another lot of cramps and I thought Easter would be a fantastic time to rack up the km's. That didn't exactly go to plan but I did manage to get a couple of rides in between the chocolate making and watching the Paris Roubaix. Easter Monday had been earmarked for some mountain biking but instead my laziness got the better of me and we slept in and relaxed around the house for the day. I was about 260km into the Challenge and I was already worn out!
The following week I added a slight detour on the way home, heading out to the beach along linear park before heading home. This actually became the standard way to add extra km's for this as it felt safer as the roads became wetter and darker. While it may be easier than climbing a whole lot in the hills, I'm not sure it's easier than going flat out on the road (even though I was definitely going slower – no crashes with pedestrians or dogs for me), as road riding usually has stops at traffic lights whereas riding along linear park was continuous. Just a thought.
Anyway, the week culminated in the sportif at Williamstown and thanks to an enthusiastic A grader who decided to join us for the ride, it wasn't quite the walk in the park I thought it was going to be. So much so that after the ride, when I went to ride back to the car, my glute decided to protest and I spent much of the rest of the day either sitting on ice packs or a tennis ball!
After a break on Monday which included a gym session focused on fixing my glute (for those of you who are familiar with foam rollers you can imagine what that was like), I tried an easy spin out to the beach again. I discovered as long as I didn't try to sprint, I could ride just fine. Of course every now and then I'd forget, put a little too much power through my leg and feel the pain, but mostly I was all good. Of course this week ended in cyclocross, which didn't add a whole pile of km's but was a whole pile of fun! Well, for most of us anyway.
By this time I had crossed the halfway mark and was close to 600km and the theory was that I'd go for a ride on the Sunday, however it was windy and unpleasant and CLP had a dose of the man flu so I dutifully stayed home to look after him. Of course I was super keen to go riding in 30 km/hr winds, honestly!
I had just over a week to go and just over 200km to go. The weather had turned nasty and I was worried about getting CLP's man flu. I was also exhausted. But I was so close, and there was a public holiday, so maybe I could do it! I had planned to get my 800km on the sportif that was coming up on the Sunday and so I was trying to do about 180km prior to that. Surprisingly I did it, in three consecutive days and did the middle, 50km ride, on the mountain bike. I was completely done but I had done enough that I made my 800km on Sunday at the sportif, covering the 800km in just under 37 hrs (I'm not super fast). I then came home and slept, a lot!
So what did I learn from this? I didn't think at the beginning that I'd be able to do it and I had no idea that it would exhaust me so much but that I'd be able to ride through it. I was surprised that the riding was the easiest bit (mostly), convincing myself to get on the bike was much harder, especially when all I wanted to do was sleep! I also got to enjoy some amazing moments riding along the foreshore near Glenelg with the waves crashing against the rocks which I never would have done if not for this challenge. It was a challenge for me and I'm glad I completed it but I hope you won't mind too much if I return to my lazy self and spend some significant time relaxing off the bike in May!
Great effort. Just finding the time to ride 800km is challenging enough. What's the next goal?
It's about time you guys joined us at Gully Grinders, you can sleep in the afternoon.
Well done, sterling effort, now you have to keep it up or all that hard won fitness will just wear off. As for the muscle pain sounds a bit like a hamstring strain, cycling shortens the hammys, you need to do some walking to keep them stretched

Kay McCallister of the Dixie County Chamber of Commerce said that although Red Belly Day has been cancelled for 2008, the event may happen in 2009.
The previous 12 annual Red Belly Day festivals happened during the Memorial Day holiday.
"We hope to continue it in the future," she noted in an e-mail.
BRONSON - An Okeechobee man who was arrested in Alabama on four counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a child and one count of interference in child custody was returned to Levy County on Feb. 21 to face those felonies, according to records.
Ameris Health Systems President and Chief Operating Officer K. Robert Bauer Jr. and Tri-County Hospital President Frank Schupp showed a group of people the first architect's rendering of the hospital on Feb. 22.
Gathered in a conference room at Drummond Community Bank, local government leaders saw Tri-County Hospital is going to be two stories tall.
The foundation for the building is being constructed to be able to support a third story, Bauer said.
Central Florida Community College announced its plan to raise $1.5 million from the local community, which will generate state funding for its $8 million to $9 million permanent facility in Levy County.
The kickoff announcement was on Feb. 19 at Drummond Community Bank in Chiefland. On Feb. 22, CFCC President Charles "Chick" Dassance spoke about the plans.
An anonymous donor gave $600,000 to CFCC for the new Levy Center, Dr. Dassance told members and guests of the Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 22.
BRONSON - Even though qualifying does not begin until June 16 at noon and end on June 20 at noon, there are 21 people seeking to fill 10 Levy County posts, according to records.
One person has already dropped out of the race - even before the official qualifying date.
Melody LaFlam of Bronson, who lists no party affiliation, had opened a financial account to challenge incumbent Supervisor of Elections Connie Asbell for her office but LaFlam has withdrawn, according to records. As of last Thursday, Asbell was the only person seeking the post.
It wasn't until the nurse practioner pointed it out last week that it dawned on me.
I've become Phyllis Vining.
I worked with Phyllis a very brief time around 1995. She was hired to sell ads at the paper I worked for and from the time she walked in the door, I knew she was different.
I thought she was elderly back then-now I realize she was probably mid-50s but in her mind Phyllis was no more than 25-only the lines around her eyes gave away her secret.
My name is Jeff and I am a television addict." I can picture my first visit to the televisionaholics anonymous meeting. Well, I am not quite so bad that I must join TA. Of course, all of us "aholics" say we are not so addicted to those things to which we are addicted.
We can all give up "x," or "y" or "z" any time we want.
For instance, I might say, "Just let me watch The Simpsons, Family Guy and King of the Hill and I'll let American Dad go by the wayside this week, just to prove how I can handle this habit."
BELL –Wayne Weatherford could almost sense it coming.
Having graduated a lot of the big guns off of last year's State Final Four team, Weatherford knew there would be some rough spots for this year's squad to navigate.
Some of them surfaced in last Thursday's season opener at Bell High.
Errors, both mental and physical, were a common occurance as the Chiefland High girls softball team fell, 6-0, to the Lady Bulldogs.
It wasn't exactly pretty, but the end result sit just fine with coach Wayne Weatherford.
The Chiefland High varsity softball team won its home opener last Friday night, 6-4 over visiting Newberry.
The victory evened the Lady Indians record at 1-1 and moved the district record record to 1-0. Newberry fell to 0-2.
The Lady Indians were far from mid-season form, as errors still plaqued Weatherford's team, but they had enough to hang on.
The Chiefland High softball program flew to new heights last year.
The Lady Indians finished with an awesome record of 25-5, they won district and regional crowns and made it to the state "Final Four"in Plant City.
Pitcher Megan Weatherford was Class 3A Player of the Year. Other valuable seniors included catcher Whitney Mills, shortstop Kari Stephens, second baseman Amanda Hinote and outfielder Kearston Andrews.
The loss of those key starters makes for an challenging 2008 season for Wayne Weatherford, a 2007 Coach of the Year finalist.

Online Reservations
Another enjoyable meal at Zocca! Daniel was a most friendly,accomodating and polite server.He handled our "challenging" group with professional poise. We enjoyed the stuffed portabella and baked artichoke starters.We all orderd the salmon entree but unfortunately, this most anticipated dish was not "as delicious" as we remember from a late lunch/early dinner seating in December.The saffron broth lacked the rich, developed flavor that we so enjoyed and the salmon was over-grilled (I think it was poached in December?).For dessert, we devoured an opera torte, apple-walnut bread pudding and apple/cranberry tart. All were SUPER-YUM.The bread pudding had the perfect not-too-mushy-texture and the flaky,sweet,butter tart crust was the sleeper fave!
Great service and good food situated along a quiet stretch of the riverwalk made Zocca an excellent choice for a quiet, intimate lunch.
A Great Afternoon Had by All! There were six of us for lunch, none of us having been there before. Everything about Zocca was great. Great menu, great waiter, delicious salads, soups, sandwiches and other lunches and desserts. The servings are very generous and the price is right. We will definitely return and tell others about this wonderful restaurant in our hometown of San Antonio.
Attentive service, great food, reasonable price. Relatively noisy but cannot complain as our kids were no exception.
Food was fantastic, but service was absolutely terrible. We sat outside on the river, which was a beautiful view and would definitely recommend sitting by the river (if you're alright with ducks walking around the tables). But again the main point of this entry is that while the food was top notch, you can expect to basically be on your own throughout the meal. Sure people will come by and ask if you're okay, but you can tell they have somewhere else to be. We went through the entire meal without having our water glasses filled, despite asking multiple times. Never received the glasses of wine that we ordered. We decided to give coffee and dessert a try. The marscapone cheesecake was delicious, but the coffee was cold.
great place- we started off outside on the Riverwalk and when it got a bit chilly our server moved us inside where we had dessert by the glow of the many candles- very nice atmosphere and great waiter
Enjoyed a great lunch. However, the pasta small portion is indeed, pretty small. So, keep that in mind when ordering pasta. Overall, food and service was very good!
We had a wonderful experience at Zocca! We were seated at an indoor table and still had views of the river and a lovely breeze. The wait staff were very attentive and efficient. The restaurant manager did an outstanding job of going over gluten free options on the menu (I have celiac) and making sure that everything was to our liking. We will definitely come back!
We enjoyed our dinner here. A wonderful patio table next the River Walk was reserved for us. Our waiter was fantastic. They have a wonderful gluten free menu, but you have to ask for it. It is not noted any where on their regular menu. Waiter was very knowledgeable about what main courses could be made gluten free. Even brought me out some gluten free bread. My husband enjoyed their fantastic olive bread before dinner. My husband enjoyed the Pappardelle as his main course and enjoyed it thoroughly. I had the brick oven chicken. The chicken was very tasty, but included some dark meat which I didn't care for. We enjoyed a crème Brule for dessert.
This restaurant is a very good spot for buisiness occasion. The food is excellent and the service fabulous.
We had a delightful evening here. The staff were efficient, friendly and couldn't be faulted. Loved the position right by the Riverwalk. All in all a lovely dining experience.
A hidden oasis from the crowds, great food, well prepared and presented at reasonable prices. An international (NATO) recommendation!
The location is a quiet spot on the normally hectic River Walk. Our waiter was a little forgetful but the manager was always present and helped immediately with anything that was overlooked. The food was amazing, I had the Caprese (wonderful heirloom tomatoes and housemade cheese) and the Papperdelle and they were both amazing. I am Italian and usually very hard to please when it comes to Italian food but they were amazing. Also my husband loved his Alfredo, normally he only eats mine :)
My husband and I brought the kids down to the River Walk for the first time. We were looking for something with good food and a view. Going early and sitting outside made us comfortable bringing a 3 and 7 year old to this nice restaurant. The mussels appetizer and Sea Bass were delicious. The kids pizza is large enough to share between 2 kids. The seafood risotto was a little bland for our taste. The lasagna was also good. Service was great.
Our order consisted of: - Calamari - Garlic Bread & Oil-Balsamic Vinagrette Dipping Sauce with Basil - Crab & Alfredo Pasta with Asparagus shavings - Quattro Formagio Pizza (& I added Heirloom tomatoes & Basil) All of the items were fresh, handmade, handcrafted taste dishes. No imitations here! Perfect! & the whole meal didn't cost more than $30. That's for two people with an appetizer!!! The price was on point!!!
I reserved and I put in the comments that it was my girlfriends birthday and they took care of all. The food was great specially the Lamb chops. At the end they surprised us with a beautiful desert. I highly recommend Zocca and I'll be there next time I visit SA.
The service that we received that night was terrific! When we finished dinner, we wanted to enjoy an after dinner drink outside to take in the scenery. Our waiter made sure we got the attention of the bar server and got taken care of in a prompt manner. I would return to this restaurant.
Enjoyable restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating next to the River Walk. Service and food are great! Relaxing atmosphere where you can have a quiet conversation and enjoy dining out.
We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate a birthday and a fun trip to San Antonio! All of us dining together loved the dishes we ordered. The warm bread served was delicious and the server was attentive. Best of all, the server brought out a beautifully decorated tile with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate swirls along with a lovely presented dessert.
This is a very good place to take a customer out to dinner or lunch. They will not dissapoint in ambiance and quality of food.
Great place away from the convention center crowds! Loved everything about it
Food was very good as well was the service. The restaurant itself is nice and the price is not bad at all.
My husband and I were excited to try Zocca's. Its was our first "date" in a while. We were extremely happy with EVERYTHING. From the hostess to our server to the food. Wine was great. We had the Arancini as our appetizer and were blown away. We watch Food Network like crazy and always wanted to try Risotto. We had the Seafood Saffron Risotto. It was like a "party" in our mouth. We couldnt stop talking about how great it was. I would truly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a romantic atmosphere. Service was very good. All in all we were extremely satisfied. Thank you!!
The staff was wonderful. Very attentive and helpful. The food was good and very reasonably priced. We enjoyed our visit while in San Antonio.
I absolutely love this place! First time there was on July 3rd and I went again the next day! Excellent food, excellent service, superb environment. New favorite hot spot!
We did not have any plans for our anniversary dinner in San Antonio, TX on the Fouth of July so we did an Open Table search so see what might be available. The ratings and comments for Zocca were positive so we selected it for our celebratory meal and made a reservation. It turned out to be an excellent choice! The service provided by Ron was outstanding. He was attentive but not overbearing so we were able to enjoy a relaxed and unrushed meal. He was very accomodating to our special food preparation requests so, obviously, he knew what the chef(s) could and could not do in that regard. Cocktails, salads, soup, risotto, and wine were all outstanding. And the desserts -- Ron suggested the tiramisu and a lemon tart . Fantastic!!!!!
The Papardelle was wonderful beyond explanation. Delicious bread and dip, too. Will definitely be revisiting.
I took some colleagues and an out-of-town guest to dinner at Zocca and everyone was very pleased with their meal. My seafood risotto was excellent. We enjoyed sitting outdoors at a quiet section of the Riverwalk. And the restaurant comped our parking. Very pleased with the experience.
I proposed to my girlfriend at this restaurant the manager have us free champagne and krembrula plus chocolate cover strawberrys. Andy was great and took pictures of the event. We got way more food than we could eat! Appetizer was the only flaw didn't taste very good but the entrees where excellent! The view was looking at the river but they sat people in front of our view, overall I would go back many times,
Excellent service, staff, and food. A little quaint gem right on the Riverwalk.
I took some out-of-town colleagues to dinner. They wanted to go to the Riverwalk, and after a short search, I decided on Zocca based on menu, prices and, of course, location. I requested an outside table so we could talk. It was perfect, except that it is summer in San Antonio, so slightly warm! Zocca has the best calamari that I've ever tasted. All three of us enjoyed our dinners - lamb, pasta, and sea bass. Service was great, and there is free valet parking. As we left, there was a large and loud bunch of folks in the bar area having a great time. I will definitely go back.
We celebrated a birthday at Zocca and the evening was perfect. We sat outside and it was breezy and beautiful. The Westin is on the quiet side of the Riverwalk and not much foot traffic so you were not distracted by walkers. The wait staff was exceptional..the food delicious...the setting breathtaking on the River. Than you Zocca for memories!
My wife an I went to Zocca for our 20th Anniversary. The food was excellent and the service was great. The wine that the waiter suggested went well with our meals. The only problem I had was that a group with small kids were seated after us, next to us. It distracted us a bit from the romantic setting. But still, overall we enjoyed our evening out to celebrate our Anniversary.
Zocca does a very good job for a River Walk restaurant. The setting on that particular part of the river is very pleasant. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is pleasing. The food is very good.
Is a good Westin Bar Restaurant with food and service that don't disappoint ......Casual great outside tables at the Riverwalk..
We went on a Wednesday night and I'm not sure they had anyone assigned to seat diners. We were seated by a waiter and then waited for 10-15 minutes for the waiter assigned to our table to show up. Another 15 minutes to get our wine. Once we got through that, the meal was great. My daughter loves calimari, and the appetizer rated as one of the best she has had. Lightly fried, not too oily. We also enjoyed the garlic stuffed bread and the olive bread. The ravioli with veal meatballs was outstanding and the portion was huge; more than enough to take some home. The atmosphere is great. Quiet little area on the river walk with great people watching views. We will go back again.
Is a Casual Hotel Restaurant with great food and friendly service. The terrace is nice next to the River. Is a typical Westin style and I like it.
Spanish influenced dining area with adjoining bar. Well trained servers and delicious Italian food. Soothing guitar music playing. We loved this place so much we dined there twice while in San Antonio.
The food is delightful. The atmosphere is modern. Highly recommended. Outdoor seating is right on the riverwalk. Indoor seating has a great view of the riverwalk.
The food was very good, service was great. Waiter was very knowledgeable. Felt the portions were a little small for it being an Italian restaurant. But overall, would eat here again.
The food is very nice. The outdoor tables are right next to one of the quieter areas of the riverwalk. Great place for a peaceful dinner.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in San Antonio. We started out with a meat, cheese & roasted vegetable appetizer plate, moved on to a fantastic Golden Beets salad and ended with a Margarita pizza. The atmosphere is very Tuscan and cozy. You can get a table inside or outside overlooking the Riverwalk. I would suggest a reservation for dinner. This is also a great breakfast restaurant.
Sitting in the restaurant with good friends watching the boats go by with happy tourists go by makes for a happy evening.
My husband and I stayed at the Westin Riverwalk, this past weekend, to celebrate our two-year wedding anniversary. After booking the room, I made reservations for Zocca and I am SO glad I did. I feel like anytime I spend a good amount of money on something, I am usually disappointed. This was probably the best meal I have ever had in my life! I had the lamb chops and he had the sea bass for our entrees. For appetizers we ordered the Arancini and also received some calamari. Everything was delicious!!! The service was incredible and we were made to feel very special. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Zocca! We WILL be back!!!
The Dinner was great, the service was good and the view was great.
Chicken Marsala was delicious! Hubby got steak pizza which was just ok. We sat inside due to the cold and the ambiance was lovely. Food was good. Service was slow but very kind. The hostess greeted us as if she knew us. Overall, good experience.
This is a pretty quiet part of the riverwalk. Tables are setup beautifully right on the edge of the river. No real people watching because it isn't the busy part but it was nice a relaxing. Food was good, maybe a little expensive. Service had great moments but sometimes we were left waiting even when it wasn't that busy. We'd go there again.
Very nice hotel on a quiet piece of the River Walk. Great food and service. Outside dinning is a must in good weather!
We took our son and his fiancé here for dinner, thinking the Christmas knights on the river would be on (alas they were not). Nonetheless we had a lovely view of the river, impeccable service, excellent food all around. A really enjoyable evening.
Outstanding. We were visiting San Antonio to be with family on Thanksgiving. We had Thanksging dinner at Zocca and it was the best meal we had during our four day stay. I highly recommend.

In a recent press release, IBIS World named Advanced Protection Technologies, Inc. one of the top four companies in the Electric Surge Protection Device Manufacturing Industry:
May 17, 2012
Key downstream factors have combined to offset growth for the Electric Surge Protection Device Manufacturing industry during the five years to 2012. On one hand, says IBISWorld industry analyst Josh McBee, "Demand from overseas markets has remained relatively stable despite a double-digit decline in 2009 on the back of worldwide financial turmoil." On the other hand, slumping activity in key domestic construction industries has mitigated growth opportunities in the United States. As a result of these opposing forces, industry revenue is expected to remain flat during the period, averaging 0.0% growth per year.
Residential and non-residential construction demand form the basis for most sales of surge protectors included in this industry. While the "power strips" with which most consumers are familiar are included in this industry, these products are estimated to form a minority of overall revenue. Instead, the industrial-type surge protectors buried within walls and mounted next to fuse boxes and other electrical controls dominate this industry. While some households may own a power strip featuring surge protection for their computers and other electronics, "almost every home and office contain at least one if not multiple industrial-grade surge protectors as part of the structure's overall electrical infrastructure," says McBee. The top four companies in the Electric Surge Protection Device Manufacturing industry, Eaton Corporation, Trippe Manufacturing Company, Schneider Electric SA and Advanced Protection Technologies, combine to hold almost three-quarters of industry revenue, making the industry highly concentrated.
Given the reliance that sales of surge protectors have on downstream construction activity, revenue is estimated to move largely in line with construction activity. After facing serious declines during the past five years, construction markets are expected to recover slowly during 2012. In addition, export demand from emerging economies is expected to drive international sales of industry products. As a result, IBISWorld expects industry revenue to grow 2.3% during 2012 and total an estimated $172.4 million. The expected recovery in construction markets will likely continue through the next five years as well. As unemployment falls, access to credit will return and investments into new construction activity will grow, leading demand for related surge protection to rise as well. Also, the continued implementation of what has become known as the "smart grid" will encourage the standardization of surge protection equipment. In light of these projections, industry revenue is forecast to continue growing through 2017. For more information, visit IBISWorld's Electric Surge Protection Device Manufacturing report in the US industry page.

What about colors shown/resolution?
Atari used to brag about how the 5200 was "better than the CV because it was 320 to 256." But what they didn't say was that, while in that mode, the 5200 could only show black and white, with maybe artificial green and purple. So it was the CV that could actually put prettier pictures on the screen.
And, of course, the 7800 could handle much more on-screen movement.
So was this a case of technical superiority, or just that the SMS and NES were utilized more effectively, like the way Opcode can program impossible-seeming games on the CV?

Why life insurance will be more expensive in 12 months
Don't have life insurance? If you don't pick up a policy before the turn of the year, you'll pay for it.
Life insurance was always a glimmer of good value in an otherwise expensive sector.
But that may not be the case for much longer.
Yes, the cover that has been falling in cost for the past thirty years is about to price up. It's all thanks to a perfect storm of four factors that will substantially push up premiums over the next 12 months.
1. Gender ruling
The much maligned gender ruling handed down last year by the European Court of Justice is set to come into force in December. The verdict means that insurers can no longer take gender into account when determining premiums. And while the decision has huge implications for car insurance, it will also radically alter life insurance rates.
As it stands, women pay less for life insurance than men. This is for the simple reason that the female of our species lives longer than the male. Hence, insurers expect to get more monthly premiums from a woman before they have to pay out on the person's death.
But from the 21st December, pricing gender into premiums will be banned. Inevitably, women will end up paying more as their life expectancy trump card is blotted out. In response to this price rise, you may expect premiums for men to fall. But there's a good chance they won't. This is because of the admin costs caused by the changes, which will be soaked up by insurers and may wipe out any price drops.
Protection insiders are also expecting many insurers to scrap the 30-day price guarantee currently granted to most policies as the 21 December deadline edges closer. Premiums may also start to ramp up in the months ahead of the legislation's introduction as insurers prepare for the change.
Needless to say, the protection sector is not happy about the ruling. As one industry figure put it: "Two hippies in Brussels have spoilt it for everyone."
2. Retail Distribution Review
The Retail Distribution Review, or RDR, is a regulatory revamp being pushed through by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). The key aim of the review is to ensure consumers are offered fairness and transparency when buying financial products. A vital part of achieving this is changing the way financial advisers are regulated.
But these alterations come at a price. The FSA recently said that it would need a 15.6% increase in funding in 2012/13. This will cause fee levels for insurers and other FSA-regulated companies to increase. Kevin Carr, a protection specialist who runs his own consultancy, estimates that the review will cost the industry £3.6 billion over the next ten years.
It's highly likely that these increased industry costs will trickle down into higher premiums for the consumer. And to add insult to injury, the RDR is set to come into force less than a fortnight after the gender directive, on 31st December 2012.
3. Tax changes
Another change coming in from January 2013 concerns the tax arrangements of protection companies. Broadly, the move will change the current system where businesses are only taxed on their profits. So the companies that will suffer the most are the protection providers that offer life insurance policies which come with an investment element.
This increased tax bill could well trickle down to the customer in the form of higher premiums. Andy Milburn, head of marketing at Ageas Protect, estimates that the change could increase costs for consumers by 10% across the sector, with the exception of income protection which should stay fairly level.
4. Solvency II
Solvency II is another set of guidelines handed down from the EU. Essentially, it forces protection providers to keep more cash in the bank to guard against potential business problems. The guidelines are often referred to as 'Basel for insurers' – a nod to the Basel frameworks that force banks to store more capital.
The aim of Solvency II is to guard against a credit crunch style crash by ensuring businesses carry enough capital to guard against bankruptcy. However, this will eat into the profits of insurers and mean that premiums will probably go up.
The only slight relief is that Solvency II is not due to come in until January 2014. But that still shouldn't stop you getting hold of life insurance as soon as possible.
When to buy
The exact amount life insurance premiums will rise by is tricky to predict – though many sector figures place it around the 30% mark.
The protection industry is also expecting a busy fourth quarter as the perfect storm of the gender ruling, RDR and tax changes – along with several more articles like these urging you buy before prices rise – take hold. This increase in business could also add to premium rises, giving you yet another reason to act now if you haven't got a policy.

After being stuck inside since the last day of the deer season I was pretty excited to get back out to do some hunting and fishing. My buddy Clint and I made plans to go up and chase some coyotes and do some ice fishing up around my families land in the Lake Preston area.
Weather Details: The weather started cold! When we left Sioux Falls it was -4, and when we got to our first hunting area it was -7. Even a "light" wind in South Dakota is noticeable when it is that cold! Wind chills were around 15 to 20 below zero. Thankfully it was bright and sunny which definitely helps. Temperatures warmed into the high teens through the day and the winds shifted from the north to the west. It was definitely cold on the lake, and the post cold front conditions didn't help us much with the fish. By the time we were sitting in the afternoon it was pretty pleasant. We finished the day with decent temperatures and a very light west wind.
Our first spot hunting spot in the morning had us working a couple of smaller sloughs near a lake. The lake sits south of the land we were hunting so with a north wind it worked out perfect for us to set up with the lake at our back so the coyotes couldn't get behind us and wind us. We had two sets trying to call the 'yotes out of two big sloughs. We didn't have any luck. Next we went and tried to call some coyotes out of a monster slough. We did some calling and were able to move some pheasants and deer out of the slough but again no coyotes. The coyote hunting thing was new to me, Clint had an electric call that we used as well as a "decoy" which was a stuffed dog with a rabbit pelt on its head. He had a string tied to it and planned to give it some movement if we saw any.
With our first round of coyote hunting behind us it was time to head to the lake. We went to a lake north of our hunting spot called Lake Poinsett. I had gotten a couple of reports for the lake and thought it would give us our best shot. With several trucks on the lake, and several in the parking lot it was a tough call on whether or not to drive out. We decided to walk out, it was a lot of walking but after seeing open water 30 yards from where we were headed we were glad to be on foot. I am certain that we had enough ice to drive every where we went but it wasn't worth the risk. We fished 4-5 different spots at different depths and never could find the fish. We did see one perch on the camera but that was it. Fishing is my absolute favorite thing to do, so I just enjoy getting out. It would have been nice to catch a couple but we will have to leave that for next time.
After fishing we went back to coyote hunting and were excited to head to our best spot for the evening. Before we went out coyote hunting we ran into some wild turkeys in the farm yard. Clint is a turkey hunter and started calling to them, it was pretty crazy stuff! I have never seen turkeys in this area. Hopefully, they settle in and I can add turkey hunting to my list!
Back to the coyote hunting! We set up on my favorite farm to hunt and started calling around 3:30.
We called and watched and called and watched and nothing moved except of course a ton of pheasants. It was great to see the numbers and it looks like they are enjoying our mild winter. In the mix was a white hen which was pretty cool. Once the sun went down we made a move to get closer to the slough we were watching. We called some more and didn't see anything moving. With just a little time left in the day I saw some movement on the other side of the slough. It was a coyote! He took off running AWAY from us. Which of course wasn't the plan. I got my scope on him but by that time he was on the edge of the neighbors farm yard and I wasn't about to take that shot. It was very cool to see him and while he could hear us and looked somewhat interested in our calls, we couldn't convince him to come down and see us. We closed the day by watching 20 some deer around us, it was an amazing day outdoors and we had a blast watching all the wildlife in this great state!

January 24 – Happy Birthday Tim Stoddard
Born in East Chicago, IL on January 24, 1953, Stoddard came to New York from San Diego during the 1986 season and almost immediately won four games in relief for the Yankees. The huge right-hander spent the next two seasons in the Yankee bullpen and earned a total of 10 wins and 11 saves while wearing the pinstripes. His best years were with Baltimore, including a 26-save season in 1980.
The Baltimore-New York connection was an historical one. Before the Yankees moved to New York (as the Hilltoppers) in 1903, they were the Baltimore Orioles. Beginning when the relocating St Louis Browns brought AL baseball back to B'town in 1954, many former Baltimore players have worn the pinstripes and vice-versa. Some guys who have worn both include;
Don Larsen
Bob Turley
Ryne Duren
Gus Triandos
Bob Kuzava
Ron Hansen
Curt Blefary
Pat Dobson
Tippy Martinez
Rick Dempsey
Paul Blair
Reggie Jackson
Doyle Alexander
Elrod Hendricks
Rich Coggins
Sidney Ponson
Mike Mussina
Stoddard shares his birthday with another well-traveled former Yankee reliever and this long-ago starting second baseman.
