ST AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- St. Augustine is considering leveling one of its landmarks. The Bayfront Mini Golf Course sitting to the right of the Bridge of Lions needs serious upgrades. Right now, it isn't ADA compliant.
But that's prompted discussion of whether it should be left standing at all.
The St. Augustine City Commissioners met Monday to discuss possible new options for the decades old mini golf course along the bay.
Ripley's runs it now and is fighting to keep it. But some say the space could be more profitable as something else.
For years, Marilyn Matsell has watched families laugh and bond on a small plot of land with a big history. She's a ticket seller at the course.
Ripley's Bayfront Mini Golf was created in 1947. They say it's the oldest in the state.
"It's really great because you see four generations the great grandparents down to the great grandchildren and they just love it," Matsell said.
But the fate of the course hangs in the balance. Ripley's is leasing the land from the city, but they tell Action News the putt-putt course needs serious work. It isn't accessible to handicapped people. Changes were supposed to be made to correct that by March. And Ripley's was ready with a $60,000 plan drawn up. Then, the city had second thoughts.
"I think its just generally we are moving in the direction of repurposing the property to a higher and better use," explained Vice Mayor Nancy Sikes-Kline.
Right now, Ripley's is operating it on a month-to-month basis until the St. Augustine City Commission makes a decision whether to keep it, or make it something else.
"If you put the vacant spot that's there now and add the space where the putt-putt is you'd come up with about a half an acre of open space which is obviously the most beautiful area of our city," Sikes-Kline said.
But Matsell argues what could be better than this?
"It's just a neat family thing and this generation where you're having the breakdown of the family, this is where it's happening. And to see it go away is very very sad."
Ripley's tells Action New right now this course is still not ADA compliant. But they're told they're OK as long as they can prove they've taken the steps to get it there, which they say they have. The city will now weigh their options.
There is a commission meeting Monday night -- but this topic was not on the agenda.
Action News asked Vice Mayor Sikes-Kline what that plot of land is worth. She says it is priceless -- and called it the premier spot in St. Augustine.

Hunter acquitted of killing man mistaken for bear
SALEM, Oregon (AP) - An Oregon hunter has been found not guilty of manslaughter in the shooting death of a Marine reservist from California he says he mistook for a bear.
The Salem jury deliberated for about two hours Friday before acquitting Eugene Collier, The Statesman Journal newspaper reported.
Collier, 68, was the last witness to take the stand. He told jurors he was shooting to kill when he fired the .270-calibre bullet that caused the death of Christopher Ochoa, 20, of French Camp, California, in October 2011 near Silver Falls State Park.
Collier was hunting with his 12-year-old grandson and said he was sure he was shooting a bear "I made a terrible mistake. It was a tragic accident, I didn't mean for it to happen," Collier said. "I'm terribly sorry." He and his wife met with members of Ochoa's family privately after the trial ended. Neither family spoke with the media after the verdict.

News » Jubilee Award Winners » 2010 Award Winners
More than 1,700 participants representing states from coast to coast and such foreign countries as Ireland, Nigeria, and New Zealand were on hand for the presentation of the Jubilee Awards during closing ceremonies at the sixth annual San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, held at the Municipal Auditorium in downtown San Antonio this last weekend.
"Our goal with the Jubilee Awards is to reward the work of Christian filmmakers who have artfully communicated a Christian worldview through their film production," explained Doug Phillips, founder of the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.
"Thanks to aid of a private foundation, we are pleased to give the single largest cash prize of any film festival in America, as well as to honor the other fine winners at the 2010 festival."
The "Best of Festival" Jubilee Award — with its $101,000 cash prize — went to Agenda: Grinding America Down, a documentary that traces the alive-and-well socialist agenda from its roots established by Karl Marx and other radical revolutionaries to the present day, demonstrating how that Communist ideals have largely captured America and uprooted the once-great foundation of our nation. The 92-minute film was produced and directed by former Idaho legislator Curtis Bowers.
"It is such an honor to receive the award for 'Best of Festival,' Bowers stated."
"I want to thank Vision Forum, and I want to thank Doug Phillips for the vision he has had to not only create Vision Forum that has motivated us and driven us to be better home schoolers, to be better parents, to be bonded with our children, but then the Film Festival," continued Bowers. "I would never have made a film in my life if I had not come to the … [Christian] Filmmakers Academy and [San Antonio Independent Christian] Film Festival just last year. I was so motivated and so inspired by what they said and what they taught us."
"They made me realize how important this is: how powerful media can be, and how important it is that we be involved in [this arena]."
Representative Bowers, an alumni of the Christian Filmmakers Academy, was inspired to produce Agenda after a "Letter to the Editor" he penned about the drastic changes in America's culture became the feature story on the evening news and prompted protests at the Idaho State Capitol.
Bowers dedicated the award to his children, relating a poignant account of how his children have prayed for him since the day he shared with his family his goal to produce this documentary.
"That night when we were going to bed, I remember … when [my son Christian] prayed, he said, 'Dear God, help Papa's film to win the Festival,'" observed Bowers. "Every single Friday since that Festival, my children have voluntarily fasted and prayed that Daddy wins the festival. And that is the only reason I am standing up here. I am not capable of making a movie."
"Kids, I am giving this to you, so you'll always remember God does answer prayers."
The top honor in the "Best Feature Film" category was awarded to The Penny, a drama/thriller directed and produced by Nathan Webster of Filmweavers. The 88-minute film follows a series of disconnected strangers whose lives unexpectedly collide in what proves to be more than just a coincidence.
"We are both honored and humbled to have won this award," stated Webster. "A feature film is no small undertaking, and we were very blessed to have an incredible team of cast and crew, many of whom we met at this festival in previous years. The SAICFF has been a great encouragement to us and a wonderful place to network with other talented filmmakers who share our beliefs. Our prayer is that this will be a springboard to reach many more audiences."
George Washington Carver: An Uncommon Way, a stimulating documentary that traces the valiant life of Carver, garnered the "Best Documentary" Award at the festival. The film, narrated by Dr. Voddie Baucham, was directed and produced by Ken Carpenter of Franklin Springs Family Media. This marks Carpenter's third "Best Documentary" Jubilee Award, who took home a Jubilee for The Terry Schiavo Story in 2009 and A Journey Home in 2005.
"Being honored with a Jubilee Award is very gratifying," Carpenter noted. "The ideals of this festival resonate deeply with me, particularly those that encourage the telling of stories that provide hope and inspiration to audiences."
The top honor in the "Best Dramatic Short" category was awarded to The Mitt, a ten-minute film produced and directed by 19-year-old Sam Siske of Goodlettsville, Tennessee. "I was totally surprised to win this award," remarked Siske. "And I give God all the glory."
The much-anticipated "Audience Choice" Award went to The Runner from Ravenshead, a delightful film from Little Crew Studios that features an all-child cast played by the Seege children, ages 3 to 11. Their father, Joel Seege wrote, directed, and produced the film. The Runner from Ravenshead also got the runner-up nod in two other award categories: "Best of Festival" and "Best Feature".
"For sometime now it has been our family's hope to do a business together, and to do something that would point others to Jesus Christ," Seege remarked. "The Runner from Ravenshead project was the culmination of those ideas, and our first foray into the world of filmmaking. As a family we were truly overwhelmed and humbled by the support of the audience, not only with the audience choice award, but with the many kind words and encouragement from both the attendees and other filmmakers."
The "Best Promotional Media" Award went to The Cripple Effect, a twenty-four-minute film that highlights the state of Wisconsin's remarkable heritage with trains which is now being jeopardized by an aging rail system never designed for the weight of modern trains. The promotional piece was produced and directed by Philip and Chris Leclerc of Leclerc Brothers Motion Pictures, who also produced Divided, a documentary on the danger of modern youth ministry which premiered at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival last Thursday night.
Seventeen-year-old Christy Miller received the "Young Filmmaker'" Award for Small Talents, a fourteen-minute film which she directed and produced. This humorous short film is based on the Parable of the Talents and challenges viewers to decide for themselves how they will dedicate their talents to God.
The "Best Treatment" Award — an honor given for the best three-page written condensation of a proposed film, documentary, or TV dramatic production — went to Elizabeth Rouse for her proposed film, The Legacy. The winner received a $1,000 cash prize, a professional script analysis of the finished script based on the winning treatment, and a free copy of Final Draft screenwriting software.
Jeremiah Warren, who won "Best Trailer" at last year's festival, took home the "Best Commercial Advertisement" Award for a spot he created to promo the new book, Pajama School. Eighteen-year-old Warren also took the runner-up award in this category for an ad he produced for KeepGoing.Biz.
Other winners included Dispatches from the Front: A Bold Advance, which garnered the runner-up award in the "Best Documentary" category; and Accountable, which took second place for "Best Short Film." Runner-up for "Best Young Filmmaker" went to Legacy of Love, and Clarissa Belbas was tapped for second place in the "Best Treatment" category for her proposed film, The Scattering.

Thank you Ann for your courageous voice and continued commitment to justice and exposing us to the inequities in our society that have become sadly just a way of life...
Maybe not, yfgcrl, but I do know what happened because Zimmerman exercised poor judgement based on prejudice.
He had a history of calling 911 on a disproportionately high number of African-American males. His mindset was not unbiased where young African-American males are concerned; his actions defied the common-sense directions of the 911 dispatcher; he directly caused the death of Trayvon Martin.
Conjecture, maybe, but based on a solid understanding of some basic facts.
Yugo, that is 100% conjecture. You have absolutely zero idea what Zimmerman would have done if Martin was another race or dressed differently.
Bill... race had everything to do with how this incident started.
Had Trayvon Martin been Justin Martin, and had he been wearing a polo-style shirt or turtleneck instead of a hoodie, he'd be alive today because Zimmerman would not have made the bigoted assumption that he was up to no good.
Zimmerman profiled the young man, then disobeyed the suggestion of the 911 dispatcher to stay with the car and wait for appropriate law enforcement to show up.
Race didn't have much to do with the verdict, granted, but the trial would not have been necessary had Zimmerman not been a bigot with poor judgement.
Consider, though, what Sen. Lee says in this article: http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/despite-outcry-zimmermans-acquittal-was-not-based-on-stand-your-ground-laws/2131629
i.e., that "Stand Your Ground" was not legally relevant to this case. The defense's case was self-defense. It is disturbing that a juror thought he was deciding based on the Stand Your Ground law. If someone is attacking you and you fear for your life, you are entitled to meet force with like force; that was the defense. I guess the argument was that bashing a person's head against the sidewalk was as lethal as using a gun. And like the article says, we only have Zimmerman's side of the story. There are lots of unanswered questions.
Yo Lester ... I guess George was only guilty of playing the odds.....While Trayvon was guilty of "socio-economics (i.e., inner-city poverty), single-parent households, "ghetto" culture etc,"
What is the point you attempt to make with black homicide stats? That it was reasonable for George Zimmerman to kill a young man because statistics and his skin color prove d he was a threat deserving to be followed and confronted ?
There was black-on-black crime in the 1950s, when Emmett Till was murdered, and in the 1960s, when 3 civil rights workers were killed.And buried in an earth dam. There was black-on-black crime throughout the early years of the century -a time during which black men were hanged, mutilated, and burned for sport. I think Billy Holiday sang a song about it..... If I recall it wasn't along the lines of "It ain't easy being Green". More than a few of these occurred because of a widely held belief in society that black people were violent by nature (seems the case now) using the same black on black crime stats.
Mary Anna, the summary of your article is that Racism flourishes in Rochester and in Sanford, Florida and you use the Zimmerman/Martin case as an example of that Racism. Yet, the local police, the FBI both concluded that Racism had nothing to do with this event. The media from day one have attempted to sell this event as a result of Racism and unfortunately have done a great job at it. This verdict does not "set a terrible precedent", "stand your ground" was not used in the trial, if you paid attention. It was a simple self-defense argument presented by the defense. Most Black men sadly die by the actions of other Black men. That is the terrible tragedy. You state this tragedy would not have happened if Zimmerman not been carrying a gun. It also would not have happened if Martin had just gone home. If Zimmerman did not have a gun and Martin challenged Zimmerman in the same manner, it would be Zimmerman who would have been dead as a result of the actions of the "unarmed" Martin. Lastly you attack the jury for doing their job. You want people believe they too were racists. As per their own comments, the jury found it very difficult to deal with the outcome of this event. It took them almost two days because they went over the details of the case and the law many, many times to make sure they made a lawful decision. You assume because there was not a black juror that the jury could not be fair. How dare you suggest that they must be black to make a just ruling. One of the errors in your report was that there were no witnesses, but there were and they testified what they heard and saw contributing to the verdict. Your summary should have read, no matter what you personally thought about this case, justice was done by a competent group of jurors based on the known facts. You also should have acknowledged that as long as the national media continues to make Racism a national issue for their own benefit, it will be a national problem. Lastly you should have called out MSNBC for changing the voice recording of the conversation between Zimmerman and the police to make Zimmerman look like a racist. This was probably the best example of how the media tried to convict Zimmerman before he was tried.
Two lessons learned here:
1.) In states with Stand Your Ground laws, bad guys need to be put on notice that they can and will be shot if they try to harm or kill someone without provocation. The intent is to create a deterrence. I hope the bad guys in Florida have taken notice. Even in states with higher bars for the use of physical deadly force for self defense, such as NY, 1 to 3% of the population around you is armed with a legally registered and concealed weapon at any given time. In states with more relaxed gun laws, those numbers are higher.
2.) The question to black-on-black homicide - which represents around 95% of all homicides with black victims, has yet to be answered. The Martin/Zimmerman brouhaha was nothing more than a side show to detract from the real problem of violence against black people perpetrated by other black people, to which no one can seem to find a viable solution. Going after George Zimmerman and his brethren is a solution in search of a problem that doesn't really exist. The real problems are socio-economics (i.e., inner-city poverty), single-parent households, "ghetto" culture, a generous social services system, and a weak criminal justice system that gives offenders light slaps on the wrist and too many 2nd chances. However, fixing these problems are inherently politically incorrect and goes against the grain of Democrat politicians who rely on the disadvantaged to sustain their political careers.
Oops. Dropped the word Lieutenant before Governor, which is correct for 1979.
Brief correction to an otherwise superb article: Mario Cuomo was not governor in 1979; that was the year Hugh Carey began his second term. Mario commenced his 12 year governorship in 1983.
Thanks for highlighting this, Mr. Johnston. It's a shame that the courts seem to have overruled the constitutional ban. But, I do hope that we all remember that voters can be a powerful force as well. As you said, in 1979, this policy would be considered scandalous. I think with better understanding of the costs of these policies, maybe it will seem scandalous again. That's why a knowledgable voice like yours is so important.
As New York moves to expand gambling, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders have quietly deleted a proposed ban on accepting campaign contributions from casino operators. http://www.dailyfreeman.com/articles/2013/…
In the early hours of Saturday, the New York State Assembly and Senate quietly voted on the casino bill that would allow for four Las Vegas-style casinos to be built in upstate New York. Both the Senate and Assembly approved the bill. But missing from it was a provision that would have prohibited casino groups from making campaign contributions. It was a provision supported by many legislators and touted by Governor Andrew Cuomo only a few weeks ago, His press release attached to the first version of the bill highlighted a "Preventing Corruption" section. Which has now been quietly omitted: http://www.13wham.com/news/local/story/Cas…
I'd like to recommend "The Shadow Factory" by James Bamford. Published in January 2008 it details how we got to this point. Bamford's research is very thorough and tells how 9/11 began the process that made America into the surveillance society it is today.
The government has always wanted to be more intrusive and nosey than America allowed... until Al-Qaeda won the war on terror by turning us into a nation of cowardly sheep. We may be able to keep killing Al-Qaeda's number 2, and we may be able to prevent further attacks... but the purpose of terrorism is to terrorize, and we've bought into it 100%.
We have forsaken freedom and liberty for the illusion of security.
We deserve the government we got. We asked for it, and we're reaping the rewards of cowardice. Anyone surprised that the government is hoovering up all of our data simply hasn't been paying attention.
Ben Franklin was right: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
A good joke told by Jay Leno: 'We wanted a president that listens to all Americans - now we have one'
A joke told by Barack Obama: "This is the most transparent administration in history"
MJN - Good points. Seems that a majority of people are satisfied by the deluge of articles penned by PR firms to justify the spying & to clarify that, anyway, PRISM isn't even what we thought it was. Congress "briefings" given by the intelligence directors consist of sanitized talking points & what laws we do have get broadened widely in top secret court opinions. Meanwhile the news cycle moves on. The only wildcard I see remaining is this Snowden/Greenwald duo and whatever they might have left up their sleeves. Supposedly there are multiple leaked documents and Greenwald is working on a second round of articles.
Better send for Peter Graves (sorry Tom Cruise) because finding a balance between security and privacy in the 21st. Century is truly a Mission Impossible. The range of opinions is simply too great.
From anti-government, tin foil-hatted paranoiacs on the Far Right, to Libertarians with unrealistic ideas of how to run a society, to Tea Partiers who're OK with spying on Americans as long as it's limited to Muslims and other people they don't like, to middle-of-the-raiders who claim to see both sides of the question but can't decide which way to lean, to those who don't give a damn one way or the other, to those who figure that the government is too incompetent to be able to misuse the information they gather, to those who distrust the government (or at least Obama) but feel that the risk of terrorist attacks is greater than the risk to privacy, to those who trust the government to do the right thing.
Now somebody tell me what balance or system of checks and balances can possibly be put in place that can satisfy more than a small percentage of the above groups?
Another example of stone-deaf Cuomo: He touts his 'women's legislative agenda' and yet does NOTHING to get rid of Sheldon Silver who paid off the sexual harrassment victims of Vito Lopez. Cuomo pays nothing but lip service.
More BS from the bureaucrats.....typical.....NYC should be a district capital (DC) like Washington, DC...we need to chop it off and let it stand on its own, all of upstate pays for all the waste that happens down there.....their budgets for security, cameras, rent control, tax abatements and all the other stuff is in the billions of dollars....I used to live down their and some rents and taxes that are charged are still from the 50's, I think it is 2013....no wonder we are broke, we pay for them and all the poor that get better healthcare than my family and they get it for free.....
We need to reform everything in this country from the local to federal governments, the spending, corruption, consistently creating more and more stupid laws that reduce productivity in the country....we need to get back to freedom, life, and liberty and get far far away from these bureaucrats that think they can save us......
We want less government....MUCH LESS......you bureaucrats have only gotten in the way of private progress....you do not solve problems, you are the problem......
Again, Cuomo is bidding for the 2016 election......he will do whatever it takes to look good at the tax payers expense...especially where all the population is, Albany and NYC.....he has done nothing for NY and will do far worse as a president.......
Yep. A man of action. It's how things get done. Pass a gun control bill without allowing any input from anyone. It leaves a lot of mess, anger and uncertaintly to be sorted out later, but it as long as Cuomo's political aspirations are served, he doesn't care.

New consultation exercise over school transport (From Banbury Cake)

New consultation exercise over school transport
9:10am Wednesday 18th September 2013 in News
PLANS to charge for home-to-school transport will go out to consultation again, despite a lack of government guidance on the matter.
Oxfordshire County Council has agreed to launch a second consultation on its plans to charge parents who don't choose their child's nearest secondary school for transport.
The council claimed it would eventually make an annual saving of £340,000, but the policy was shelved in July over concerns the consultation didn't fit in with government guidelines.
New guidelines are expected from the Department for Education early next month, but last night the council's cabinet decided not to wait for the ruling.
Admissions and transport manager Neil Darlington said: "The guidance we have is quite clear – we must consult for 28 working days.
"There seems to be no reason to believe they are going to come up with a completely different figure, so it seems reasonable to carry on."
Labour councillor Gill Sanders added: "This has got to be a through consultation."

In an exclusive interview with Marjorie Paillon, John McCain, US Senator and presidential candidate in 2008, talks to us about Libya, Syria and Obama's policies. John McCain, who has met Libyan rebels in Benghazi, explains that he has concerns the Libyan conflict could turn into a stalemate and calls for the US government to increase its involvement in the situation.

John Mccain's talk
by Anonyme - 29/04/2011 - 17:59
Senator Mccain is doing better as a senator than he would have as President as in that position he would be very limited in what he is able to say. His point on limiting money for elections is a good one as I live in San Diego, CA and have watched the city being bought by foreign money and now the city government bowing to it's foreign wealth which is now forcing Americans out and being taken to the point of controlling the government and the American people here in the city.

Report Russo Shoe
SALE $19.10 was $44.95 Item #76050RUSSO- Felt slip-on shoe
Sorry, this product is currently not available on buckle.com.
Report Russo Shoe 2 2
Cute, but run a little small I have to agree with the other review, they do run a little small. I ordered a 10 because 9 was sold out. They're a little big, but I think a 9 would have been too small. They're cute and comfy. From the picture, I thought they were going to be solid sequins, but they're more spread out. May 17, 2012
sparkly love these shoes so comfortable but I usually use a 7 1\2 and had to go up to a 8 1\2 they run small so I recommend going up a size. Still Love the sparkle and I get a lot of compliments on them :-) November 22, 2011

"Pristup internetu se naplacuje."Recenziju je napisao Hotels.com gost sij 8, 2013
Jedina zajmerka je sto u sobama nema besplatnog interneta. Ima jedno racunalo na 8. katu sa besplatnim pristupom na internet. Mislim da bi hotel te klase trebao imati bezicni internet u lobiju gdje bi se gosti mogli spojiti sa osobnim racunalom. Hotel je na dobroj poziciji i blizu je podzemne zeljeznice, osoblje je ljubazno i pristupacno, hrana odlicna. Parking u hotelu se dodatno naplacje. Sobe su prostrane i ciste.

Once a poor, overcrowded neighbourhood of textile workers, the 7th Bezirk has regenerated into a trendy student enclave. Visitors hone in on the feisty modern art in the MuseumsQuartier, while cafés, pubs and a thriving folk music and theatre scene keep Neubau humming into the wee hours.

Very comfortable - ask for extra pillows. Ask for extra milk and black tea if you want proper tea. From station you can take tram 5 (but not back) door to door. Extraordinarily quiet except for church bells at 07.00 and 19.00Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Good city hotel"
This hotel provided outstanding value for money, with good rooms (although shower door wouldn't close fully) Ideal locatoion for West Bahnhof and the U-bahn.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Amazing don´t having air conditoner in summer"
I wouldn´t imagine to be in a hotel in the most important commercial way in the beautiful Vienna and have a room without air conditioned, until I stay here.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"My first trip to Vienna, Austria"
Free Internet limited to lobby computer, had to wait several occasions extremely long periods as people using it are insensitive and rude when someone is waiting, hotel should institute a time limit. Another issues are way too much smoking on the patio by the restaurant on the second floor, smoke slips into the rooms and bathrooms were not properly […] cleaned. Will avoid this hotel on future trips. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Close to main railway station and subway."
Close to main railway station and subway. But there is no air-condition in room (when outside is hot - it's very stuffy in the room). No slippers in room. Wi-Fi is for an extra charge (3 EUR per hour, 8 EUR per day).Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Good hotel for 1-2 nights stay in Vienna."
The hotel is located less than 5 minutes away from Vienna Westbahnhof and is quite convenient for someone who's visiting Vienna for a short time and arriving/departing by train. It is also right on the major Vienna shopping street, Mariahilfer strasse, and right next to a subway station on the line going directly to the Old Town of Vienna. We arrived […] from Budapest (2hrs 45 min train ride) to explore Vienna with an overnight stay and the hotel was absolutely perfect for us. The room was clean and quiet and the price was great (booking was done one day in advance). They charge separately for WiFi and breakfast and these are overpriced. There are plenty of places to have breakfast on Mariahilfer and WiFi is available in many of these places as well. Recommended! Pročitajte višeAutentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"Good deal for a reasonable price."
Overall my stay was ok. But since it is summer, the room temperature in early afternoon is too hot. This is the only downside of the hotel. I hope this problem can be addressed before clients go to other establishments.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"Inexpensive hotel near Westbanhof"
Clean, inexpensive hotel near West Banhof train station and underground. Great place to stay to explore city. Sidwalk cafes nearby. Hotel gives free pass to all Vienna transportation for all the days that you stay there.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
Great location especially with the offer of free public transport. Having breakfast included in the price would have been better.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
Really well located within easy walking distance to airport bus and inner city ring.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"No air conditioning, no wifi make for a bad stay"
When Vienna is 40 degrees Celsius and you're thrown into a small and stuffy 9th floor room, living becomes unbearable. If you wanted wifi you have to pay, if you want extra pillows you cannot have them and a laundry service is not available. They initially put us in the wrong room with two twin beds when we had paid for a king. When we called about […] this, they told us to push the beds together. We had to be persistent to get the room we paid for. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Close to city center and train station"
We were only in Vienna for 2 days, but were able to walk to all the sights from the hotel. The fact that hotel is 1 block from the train station could not be better as we arrived into town at 10 pm.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"Clean comfortable and convenient"
Staying for just a few days on a weekend was a pleasure. The staff were helpful and friendly and the rooms were comfortable and clean. Nothing fancy or particularly memorable about the rooms, but they were up to date and nice.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Modern convenient and comfortable"
Was paying for the cheapest room. It was smallish but in good condition. No air con but the full height window opened completely, Even then it still got very hot in the room. Hotel is next to a church so expect to be woken at 7.00 weekdays by the morning bells. They are very loud especially if you have the window open to keep cool. They go on for about […] a minute and then the same again in the evening. But many churches in the city do the same. Hotel location is not in the historic centre but great for getting about because it is almost on top of an underground entrance and just 200m from westbahnhof. Hotel give you a pass for all the public transport. Hotel style is modern and functional. Its a great base and had everything we needed. Pročitajte višeAutentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
We had a pleasant stay, location is perfect close to Ubahn. Our faucet in the toilet was a little defect received ½ bottle of wine as compensation fair enough.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Very Convenient Location!"
Just a short walk from the train station, this location is perfect for the traveler not wanting to schlep his or her bags all over the place. The best perk is that Inner City gives you a ticket to use the U-Bahn for free, and the hotel is very conveniently located to two U-Bahn stops (Westbahnhof and Zieglergasse). Our room was a good size and was very […] clean. Breakfast was quite good as well! Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

"Excelent location, but unfriendly staff"
The location was the best, with a metro station just around the corner, in a very nice neightborhood, just at the beginning of one of the main shopping streets. The hotel provides you the transportation card for the duration of your stay (Good catch that is not advertise). However, the charge for the internet use (and the connection is very bad! I ended […] up paying without really using it). The staff was extremely unhelpfull. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
""Just OK""
Very simple Hotel. Probably best for just a one night stay for buisness travelers. The room was small but adequate for one night. Staff was pleasant and the room was clean. This is a basic no frills hotel. We only stayed here for one night because we needed to be close to the train station. The location is Ok if you want to be close to the train station […] but is not really central enough if you want to see the sights of Vienna (though it is close to the underground so thiings are accessible). My husband and I both felt that the bed was very uncomfortable. If you usually stay in slightly better known hotels like us (we generally stay in Marriot hotels) then I would not recommend this hotel. If you just need a clean place to lay your head before catching a train then this hotel will do. Pročitajte višeAutentične Expedia recenzije gostiju

This hotel is situated in the middle of a busy street. The restaurants below the hotel were in party mode all night and the noise from these places toge with people yelling all night was very loud. This, together with the fact that the hotel dd not have any air-conditioning was unbearable. At one stage during two of our nights there, I had to get up […] and soak a bath towel in cold water and put it over myself with the dinner plate sized fan that they provided, blowing onto the towel to try and cool myself down. As for everything else - three days with no sleep due to the heat and the noise does not help the mind determned whether everything else was good. WIFI was provided at an unreasonable price of 19 euro for 24 hours .They did provide a computer in the lobby that was so slow, it was rediculous. We ended up finding an internet cafe down the road which, we used and it was very cheap. The room was small. On this bases I would not recommend this hotel, especilly in the summer months to anybody.

On the positive side, the location is fantastic. It is very close to the Westbahnhof train station. Unfortunately there are also a number of negative points.

In his second inaugural address, President Barack Obama laid out a roster of social policies that cheered his base and infuriated Republicans. In Tuesday's State of the Union, the president is expected to do the same as he pushes to complete the unfulfilled pieces of his economic vision.
Richard Norton Smith, presidential historian at the University of Kansas, joins The News Hub to preview of Tuesday night's State of the Union speech from President Barack Obama. Photo: AP.
WSJ reporters Neil King, Colleen McCain Nelson and Laura Meckler swap reporting leads and predictions on the big themes of Barack Obama's State of the Union address, including the budget showdown, climate change and fixing the immigration system.
WSJ reporters Neil King, Colleen McCain Nelson and Laura Meckler paint a sobering picture of the latest budget talks, and the real possibility that the GOP is willing to swallow deep spending cuts from the so-called sequester rather than raise taxes.
Mr. Obama's speech on Tuesday before a national audience and both houses of Congress will keep a sharp focus on job creation, a White House aide said. Hoping to boost the economy and shore up the nation's middle class, he will lay out initiatives in energy, education, manufacturing and the nation's network of aging roads, bridges and ports.
What They Said
The modern tradition of delivering an oral State of the Union message to Congress began in 1934. Compare how often presidents used selected words in their addresses.
Mr. Obama will call for spending aimed at creating jobs and easing an unemployment rate that hovers near 8%. The day after, Mr. Obama will head out on the road for a few days, selling his ideas to audiences in red states and blue: North Carolina, Georgia and Illinois.
The twin speeches stand as signposts to the White House's second-term strategy. With neither side able to achieve its frequently cited goal of bipartisan cooperation, Mr. Obama now appears to be using his re-election victory and improved approval ratings to instead pressure the GOP as the way to drive home his agenda.
The White House has said for weeks that its strategy is to take its case to the public in the hopes of giving the president some leverage in his dealings with Republicans, who control the House and have enough votes to block legislation in the Senate through the oft-used filibuster.
A couple of contentious issues are on the horizon. In three weeks, deep spending cuts in various military and domestic programs are set to kick in. And the threat of a partial government shutdown looms late next month unless Congress and the White House reach agreement to extend the continuing resolution that funds the government through March 27.
Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the House majority leader, said Mr. Obama hasn't contacted him about the content of his speech. "If he did reach out to me, I would tell him, 'Look, I believe that there is an opportunity for all of us to come together right now and help some people who are suffering.' "
White House officials said the president will embrace ideas that Republicans have supported in the past, noting that Mr. Obama also has included offsets to avoid adding to the deficit when he has laid out similar initiatives. One example the White House believes will resonate with the GOP: Republicans have decaying bridges and aging roadways in their districts and might be amenable to spending money to improve the nation's infrastructure.
Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist, said Sunday the president seems to be taking an approach in his State of the Union speech aimed not so much as reaching a consensus with Republicans as getting them to yield.
The danger, he said, is that Mr. Obama has little time to waste. He has a window of 18 months to make progress on the economy before Washington is diverted by the midterm elections and the 2016 presidential race, he said.
A more promising tack for Mr. Obama would be to call for "shared sacrifice," in which the president would offer concessions on Social Security and Medicare; the Republicans, on tax revenue, Mr. Murphy said.
Jim Kessler, a co-founder of the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way, said the president, who will deliver the speech in the House chamber, should squarely address the divided Congress. Mr. Obama should challenge both parties, by urging Democrats to tackle entitlement changes and by asking Republicans to accept more tax revenue, he said.
"Republicans will want to hear his tone to see if he sincerely wants to work with them," Mr. Kessler said.
One Democratic senator predicted the president will strike just such a tone. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said he expects Mr. Obama to make overtures to Republicans while stressing that both parties want a more robust economic recovery.

Rising Seas: Learn how ice melting at the poles will affect shores all over the globe.
Image: George Resteck
Key concepts
Sea levels
Climate change
Have you ever noticed that if you leave an ice cube out on the kitchen counter and come back to check on it in a while, you find a puddle? The same thing happens to ice in nature—if the temperature gets warm enough, ice melts. In this activity you'll explore what happens to the sea levels when ice at the North or South poles melts. Does melting ice at either or both caps contribute to a rise in the world's oceans? It's an especially important question for the millions of people who live along the coasts of the world.
If you've ever been to a beach, you may have noticed that the ocean waves come farther up at certain times of the day than at others—this is due to daily tides, caused mainly by the gravitational pull mostly from the moon (along with some assist from the sun). Tides are a normal daily rise and fall of the ocean surface.
Scientists are concerned, though, about a different kind of rise in the ocean surface—one not due to the moon's tug, but due to changes in Earth's climate. Many areas of the globe have been getting warmer for decades. This warming is thought to be caused mainly by things that people do, such as burn gasoline to drive cars, coal to make electricity, oil or natural gas to heat homes or forests to make room for growing crops. All this burning creates gases that trap heat from the sun. As more gases are created, more heat is trapped in Earth's atmosphere, and the average temperature of Earth's air and oceans increases. One concern with the warming of Earth's global climate is that as the average temperature increases, greater amounts of northern and southern polar ice will melt, which could make the sea level rise. Both poles are slightly different, however; the region around the North Pole—the Arctic—is simply a large sheet of ice covering ocean underneath, whereas the South Pole—the Antarctic—is actually a continent covered by ice that also extends part of the way into the surrounding water.
• Measuring cup
• Permanent marker
• Two clear plastic containers, approximately two and a quarter cups in size, such as take-out containers that are slightly larger than a pint (Note: Smaller or larger containers can be used if they are both the same size, but you'll need to scale up or down the amount of clay you add to the containers. Also, you will be marking the clear plastic containers with a permanent marker, so make sure they are containers you won't mind marking.)
• Play-Doh or modeling clay
• Butter knife
• Tap water
• Ice cubes
• If you're using containers that are not two and one quarter cups in size, scale up or scale down the amount of clay you use in the next step.
• Put one cup of Play-Doh or modeling clay into one of the clear plastic containers. This container will be a model of the South Pole, with the mound representing the continent of Antarctica. Use a butter knife to scrape around the sides of the measuring cup, if necessary.
• Leave some space between the sides of the clay and the wall of the container all around, so that you can add water later.
• Make the top of the clay flat and level.
• Take the second, empty clear plastic container and fill it about one third to half full of tap water. The water represents the ocean.
• Add two ice cubes to the container and immediately mark the water level on the side of the container with a permanent marker. This container is a model of the North Pole, where the ice cubes represent the floating northern polar ice cap. What do you think will happen as the ice cubes melt?
• Take the first plastic container, which has the Play-Doh or modeling clay inside of it, and add around one quarter cup of water around the sides of the clay, so that the water level comes up about one third to half of the way up the clay. The water represents the ocean.
• Place two ice cubes on top of the clay, lightly pressing them down into the clay. Immediately mark the water level on the side of the container with the permanent marker. The ice cubes represent the southern polar ice sheet in this model of the South Pole. What do you think will happen as the ice cubes melt?
• Allow the ice in your models to melt in a place where they won't be disturbed. Keep an eye on the ice cubes in the South Pole model to make sure they stay balanced on the clay, and that all the water from these melted ice cubes is able to drain off of the clay.
• Once the ice has completely melted, check the water level in each container again. Has the water level risen in any of the containers? If it has, why do you think this is, and what do you think the implications are for changes in sea level in the real world?
• Extra: Repeat this activity two more times. Do you get the same results each time?
• Extra: Using the remaining clay, create a different South Pole ice model in which two ice cubes are placed on the clay continent to represent the ice sheet and one ice cube is placed in the water to represent floating ice shelves surrounding and attached to the continent of Antarctica. What do the results of doing this new activity tell you?

Drove by this pile of junk someone cleaned out of their house and sort of just dumped next to this big pine tree. I was just looking for something to use, other than the garbage bags I've used for over five years to put my clothes in. Digging around I see a rear road bike wheel, immediately assuming K-mart crap. I pulled all the junk, heating vent ducts, bed headboard, etc. that was piled over it off and it's a pretty nice road bike. Pulling it out I see that it's a 1981 SR (Ross - made in PA) with high end Shimano 600 arabesque full groupo, including hubs and Araya wheels - all original down to the leather toe clip straps on the quill pedals. Holy crap. by the wear on the cassette and chainrings (none) and the original brake pads, the thing has barely been ridden. Like I had found a $100 bill, I hurriedly carried over and jammed it in the back of my Audi (along with a neat foot locker looking cabinet I also found) and hustled the couple blocks home.
I'll pull it out of my car today, pump up the tires and assess the thing. At the moment it looks as though it just needs some new handlebars (they look narrow, like 40cm at most and a little bent). Otherwise, the thing is in amazing condition and my size ~55cm. I'll either strip all the sweet parts off it and get a nice(r) frame or just clean this one up as-is and sell or ride it. Frankly, I don't have anywhere to put it in my litle 250 square foot place; I've even had to keep Pudge outside with a tarp over him because I already have a 1989 cyclocross bike, my MTB, and extra set of MTB race wheels in my kitchen/office/recording studio/bike repair garage/weight lifting room.
Here's what it looks like, almost exactly, even same color.
So, now, my stable of two wheelers includes:
2013 Diamondback Sortie "Hope"
1989 Bianchi Tangent Cyclocross -yet to be named
1987 Peugeot Alpine Express (mtb) "Pudge"
1981 SR Semi Pro Road Bike -yet to be named

As World War II finally concludes, life back in the Sugar House area of Utah is supposed to become a little more normal for the Thomas family. But in Dean Hughes' fifth and final Children of the Promise book, As Long as I Have You, the family finds that just because Hitler has been stopped, that doesn't mean their problems will as well.
Al Thomas is ready to see his dream of a vast business enterprise run by his children come true, only to find that his sons may have different plans. Alex is finally allowed to return home from the war only to find that his two-year-old son Gene does not know him. Wally is getting stronger every day after his experience in a Japanese POW camp, but finds that adjusting to civilian life isn't as easy as he thought it would be. The girls are all happy to have their brothers home, but are having a hard time dealing with growing up and the pains that come from being in love.
As a whole, the Children of the Promise series provides a wonderful insiders view of what life was like for a typical LDS family during and after World War II. Since the book takes place after the war has ended, As Long As I Have You, is definitely the least action-packed of the five books, but Hughes is able to explore many problems that LDS families certainly faced post World War II.
All of Hughes' characters in the series have a different voice, and feel to them. The book is a great read for both genders, because Hughes is able to get inside the head of both his male and female characters and divulges critical information about both sexes.
While dealing with the growing pains that accompany the Thomas children, Hughes is also able to tackle the moral dilemmas that were a part of the war. Moving to the United States, from Germany, Alex's in-laws, the Stoltz's, are finding that adjusting to life in the United States is very challenging. Despite the many challenges, the Stoltz's are receiving better treatment from the Americans than they had planned. While in Germany they were able to subtly oppose Hitler, and are finally realizing the how their actions back home affected their reception in the United States.
In a conversation with Wally's POW friend Don, Heinrich Stoltz finds out the overall feeling of Americans toward his family. Don said: "I respect you for fighting against him (Hitler). It would have been easy to go along with Hitler and just protect yourselves. But you put your lives on the line. That took a lot of courage. That's the trouble in this world: too many good people stand back and let the bad people run the show." (p.315)
Dean Hughes was born in Ogden, Utah in 1943, and was raised in very humble circumstances. He studied English at Weber State University, receiving a Masters in creative writing and a PhD in literature from the University of Washington. Before he became a full-time writer, he taught English at Central Missouri State University for 8 years. Hughes has also taught creative writing at Brigham Young University. Hughes was 35 when his first book was published. Much of his writing is targeted to children and young adults, his work in the Children of the Promise books gave him the reputation of being an author who meticulously researched his books. He has written and published over ninety books. He is one of the writers largely credited with the rapidly increasing quality of Mormon literature in recent years. In March 2008, Hughes received a Lifetime Achievement award at the inaugural Whitney Awards.
The book As Long As I Have You is a perfect ending to the Children of the Promise series and is a must-read for those who are interested in World War II. Through his detailed research, Dean Hughes is able to show his readers what growing up in the 1940's was like for both the young and the old. Copyright 2008

The CBS pregame coverage starts at 4:00 ET with Greg Gumbel and a cast of thousands live in New Orleans. As always, the championship game comes your way Monday night.
Saturday March 31
#1 Kentucky vs #4 Louisville (6:09 CBS) - Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg, Steve Kerr, Traci Wolfson
#2 Ohio State vs #2 Kansas (9:49 CBS) - Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg, Steve Kerr, Traci Wolfson
