Sheriff Joe Arpaio robo-calls being made by PLEA (Phoenix Law Enforcement Association) to Arizona voters
by Dee Dee Garcia Blase on Oct. 23, 2012, under 2012 Arizona Elections, female-led political movement, independent voter open primary election, joe arpaio wastes millions of tax payer dollars, Mike Stauffer for Sheriff to Replace Joe Arpaio, Women Voters, Yes to Prop 121Numerous Sheriff Joe Arpaio calls are being made by PLEA (Phoenix Law Enforcement Association) to Arizona voters with regard to the Maricopa County Sheriff Office race.
The caller (male voice) is stating:
- PLEA endorsed Arpaio
- There are two candidates running against Joe
- Phoenix Law Enforcement behind Arpaio (in fact, they would not even endorse their own former PD officer via Paul Penzone).
Some things John McCain "maverick" type of Republicans ought to consider as it relates to PLEA is:
PLEA is a union conducting collective bargaining, and in fact, it used to be governed by Mark Spencer who got into trouble for breaking police administrative rules with regard to booking people. His last 8 months with PLEA was as a union worker and not as a front line street officer. Mark Spencer was also a big supporter of Russell Pearce and was present when Pearce was cramming SB1070 to the Republican Party and Republican voters at a GOP executive guidance committee in 2009. It was at that meeting, when former registered Republican (now Independent) Mike Stauffer confronted Russell Pearce with regard to SB1070 and how it would negatively impact community and trust police officers have with local residents.
Now we are here to set the record straight to inform the public with regard to independent candidate Mike Stauffer receiving an endorsement from one of the largest police organizations in Arizona via AZCOPS. We believe the largest police organization is the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). Stauffer also received an endorsement by POSA, and both AZCOPS and POSA endorsements are important to the law enforcement community because both organizations come from leaders who are on the front line working the streets.
While it is true that PLEA endorsed Maricopa County Sheriff (R) Joe Arpaio instead of one of their own former police sergeants via (D) Penzone, Independent Candidate Mike Stauffer still received praise from front line level police members working the beat.
For those who don't know about AZCOPS — they are the ones doing the job and on the street as line level members, and they are the ones who are behind Stauffer. Some more about AZCOPS below:
- AZCOPS is one of the largest police representative organizations in the State of Arizona
- 4000-5000 members (front line level members)
- 100 agencies represented

Faith and intuition are intimately related.

Why are some people more religious than others? Answers to this question often focus on the role of culture or upbringing. While these influences are important, new research suggests that whether we believe may also have to do with how much we rely on intuition versus analytical thinking. In 2011 Amitai Shenhav, David Rand and Joshua Greene of Harvard University published a paper showing that people who have a tendency to rely on their intuition are more likely to believe in God. They also showed that encouraging people to think intuitively increased people's belief in God. Building on these findings, in a recent paper published in Science, Will Gervais and Ara Norenzayan of the University of British Columbia found that encouraging people to think analytically reduced their tendency to believe in God. Together these findings suggest that belief may at least partly stem from our thinking styles.
Gervais and Norenzayan's research is based on the idea that we possess two different ways of thinking that are distinct yet related. Understanding these two ways, which are often referred to as System 1 and System 2, may be important for understanding our tendency towards having religious faith. System 1 thinking relies on shortcuts and other rules-of-thumb while System 2 relies on analytic thinking and tends to be slower and require more effort. Solving logical and analytical problems may require that we override our System 1 thinking processes in order to engage System 2. Psychologists have developed a number of clever techniques that encourage us to do this. Using some of these techniques, Gervais and Norenzayan examined whether engaging System 2 leads people away from believing in God and religion.
For example, they had participants view images of artwork that are associated with reflective thinking (Rodin's The Thinker) or more neutral images (Discobulus of Myron). Participants who viewed The Thinker reported weaker religious beliefs on a subsequent survey. However, Gervais and Norenzayan wondered if showing people artwork might have made the connection between thinking and religion too obvious. In their next two studies, they created a task that more subtly primed analytic thinking. Participants received sets of five randomly arranged words (e.g. "high winds the flies plane") and were asked to drop one word and rearrange the others in order to create a more meaningful sentence (e.g. "the plane flies high"). Some of their participants were given scrambled sentences containing words associated with analytic thinking (e.g. "analyze," "reason") and other participants were given sentences that featured neutral words (e.g. "hammer," "shoes"). After unscrambling the sentences, participants filled out a survey about their religious beliefs. In both studies, this subtle reminder of analytic thinking caused participants to express less belief in God and religion. The researchers found no relationship between participants' prior religious beliefs and their performance in the study. Analytic thinking reduced religious belief regardless of how religious people were to begin with.
In a final study, Gervais and Norenzayan used an even more subtle way of activating analytic thinking: by having participants fill out a survey measuring their religious beliefs that was printed in either clear font or font that was difficult to read. Prior research has shown that difficult-to-read font promotes analytic thinking by forcing participants to slow down and think more carefully about the meaning of what they are reading. The researchers found that participants who filled out a survey that was printed in unclear font expressed less belief as compared to those who filled out the same survey in the clear font.

We dined inside this time. The interior space is comfortable with brick and some mirrors and is not too noisy. The courtyard patio is also pleasant if you care to dine outside. Being a courtyard, it is insulated from the sound of the street. The food was creative and nicely arranged on the plate. Portion size was appropriate. One didn't feel turned off from having too much food on the plate. The service was attentive without being obtrusive. The wine list had some decent wines at reasonable prices. If you feel like splurging, there are also rarer and pricier wines. There is a good selection of French and California wines and limited selection from most other top wine producing countries.
My third time @ Lucques for the ribfest: three types of ribs- pork, beef & lamb, all meaty, tender and tasty. A spicy chicken wing rounded out the meat portion of the meal. There was also cole slaw, corn on the cob, collard greens, baked beans, watermelon salad, corn bread and toasted wonder bread. All great tastes!
My Canadian mother discovered this restaurant with my British sister when Sarah was working in LA. I, a longtime Santa Monica resident, know of the chef and owner, but had never been. Mom took me the last time she visited. I was blown away. I have now been twice more, each time with out of town producers who have asked for a recommendation. They are impressed with the design, with the history (Harold Lloyd's stable?!!!) and the food leaves them (and me) in a reverie. While I realize there may be other places to eat in LA, I would rather have my Canadian mother and my British sister suss those out, because I've found the only place I ever want to eat again.
This is the second time that we've dined at Lucques and we were not disappointed. We find the food interesting and nicely prepared. Our waiter helped us pick out a companion wine for our dinner that we thought was an excellent choice. Be prepared to drop a few dollars and reservations are must, The only complaint that we had is that we had to wait almost 15 minutes to get our car from the valet with only two parties in line ahead of us. Their parking lot is quite small and the valet had to jockey several cars to get our cars to us. There is ample parking on the street if one doesn't want to deal with the valet parking.
How is it possible that the food just keeps getting better at Lucques? Every dish is beautifully prepared and each flavor is perfectly balanced to complement the dish being served, Nothing frou frou here. Great food, great service and a beautiful front room as well as lovely patio. Lucques is always perfect, from appetizers to mains to desserts.
A classic. Always very good and I find it a very peasant room to dine in. I had the soft shell crab appetizer - fabulous.
They made the best short ribs I've ever had. However, be prepared for agonizingly slow service.
Very impressed by the food, service and ambience. We sat in the patio and it was delightful. The food was artfully prepared and generally delicious. Have recommended it our friends. Especially appreciated the 40th annivesary chocolate inscription on our dessert.
I very much enjoyed my evening at Lucques. I made a reservation for two for a Birthday on a Sunday night. I did not realize that on Sunday evenings they only offer a Sunday Supper preset menu. However, the food was divine and it ended up being a wonderful experience for our tastebuds. We were not disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys a well thought out culinary experience. The staff was wonderful, the dishes divine, and the ambiance perfect for celebrating a special day or just life in general!
Food great, service wonderful, but it would be nice to see what is on the plate, I searched for my duck in the confit dish. Much too dark and I complained but nothing changed. Perhaps the patio was lighter but not in the restaurant itself.
We had a very favorable experience as it was our anniversary. I was really surprised they remembered that I told them it was our anniversary and they brought out a celebratory dessert. It was very nice! We will be back!
wonderful setting,great location very attentive staff, and great food.the food is beautifully prepared and presented.
We went for our fourth wedding anniversary, after a long day at work and it was the perfect tone, not too fussy, but still special and delish. Very good food, very romantic and cozy. Nice warm romantic lighting, nice patio, great non-judgy, non rushed service.
It was a special occasion for my partner and me and I wanted a quiet table. The hostess was so gracious and accommodating - she was kind enough to check on two different tables for me before we found one that worked. That started us on exactly the right foot. The waiter was also very professional - attentive without being on top of us all the time. The food definitely lives up to its reputation - the soft shell crab appetizer was incredible! The entree (short ribs) was perhaps a bit too salty for me but that's nit-picking. Overall, a wonderful experience that we'll remember for a long time. We will definitely be back!
I especially enjoyed the ability to have a conversation without screaming. The food and service was divine.
All was good. No complaints. The Sunday dinner contained dishes that I was not confident about, but have learned to trust Lucques, and it all turned out to be wonderful.
I've been to this restaurant several times over the years and it never disappoints -- Lunch (oh, the things they do with heirloom tomatoes), Sunday suppers or regular menu, it's always amazing. The flavor combinations are inventive and delicious, and the wine pairings are spot on. I'm always delighted with the overall experience and consider it money well spent. After my latest meal I decided it was time I finally left a review -- They deserve the recognition.
Lucques is one of the best restaurants in LA. We visit often and make it a point of coming back each time, and Lucques never disappoints.
Suzanne Goin continues to turn out exceptional meals at Lucques, where the balance among ingredients remains a hallmark of her cuisine.
Unfortunately our experience was tempered by the challenge of carrying on a conversation. The noise level in the back dining room was so intense, probably because we were seated right in the middle of the room. Lots of high energy and spirited conversations around us, but for an older couple hoping to share a conversation the night was a disappointment. Wished we had a table in the front room!
We enjoyed a dinner for 4 and no one disliked their food. Everything from the bread and olives/almonds to the ribs, fish, dumplings, soup and dessert chocolates sampler was divine.
I wanted to take my son who was visiting from out of town out for a great dining experience and I found it at Lucques. The waitstaff was helpful, friendly and attentive. The meal was delicious and creative. The drinks were expertly prepared and the wine excellent. A good time was had by all and I find Lucques to be a consistently wonderful restaurant.
Great food and good service. Comfortable atmosphere.
My son and I dined here to celebrate his birthday on a weekday night. Service was very friendly, just the right amount of attentiveness without hovering. Because it was a weekday evening (after a holiday Monday), it was not crowded - so there was very little noise from other conversations. The menu was interesting -- something for any and all tastes. We had the basil panna cotta for dessert and it was excellent.
Food was universally delicious. We had the kampachi crudo, the warm salad of duck confit, the pancetta-wrapped halibut and the braised beef short ribs. Cocktails were good, but $17 for a simple Manhattan seemed a bit excessive. The candy/confection dessert plate was huge and plenty for a table to share. Service was a little disappointing for a place of this caliber. When I made the reservation, I noted that this was a special occasion birthday celebration, but this went unacknowledged and we were given a lousy table behind a brick wall, which blocked any view of the restaurant. A small nit: water glasses were refilled every time a sip was taken, which became obtrusive. I'm sure it's a nicer experience on the patio.
I have eaten at Lucques 5 or 6 times. I have previously had memorable meals here. Unfortunately, this time the food was only very good. Dishes that previously had been amazing were good but unremarkable. Service was also not as attentive. I hope this was an off night and doesn't represent a trend.
Came to Lucques because of the reviews. It was a winner! I was with a friend, so we were able to sample each other's dishes. He had the braised short ribs. Oh my! I think these were the best I've had. They were melt-in-you-mouth yummy! I had the chicken - which I usually don't order because I find chicken to be too dry sometimes, but the waiter highly recommended it. He was right - it was moist and flavorful. We had two desserts - the fritters and the warm chocolate cake. I would have finished them both but I was stuffed from the generously sized entrees. I would definitely come here again. It's great for a special night out or if you just want to treat yourself!
Suzanne Goin delivers with her casual elegant menu at Lucques. Her food is hearty, comforting and sumptuous while still being elegant. We had the beef short ribs and rabbit with handmade noodles. The beef short ribs were tender and flavorful, the horseradish cream could have used a little more kick, but overall was executed beautifully. The handmade noodles were tender and delicious and went well with the crisp rabbit. The service is extremely professional and the staff is incredibly knowledgable. Very well trained. I'd say this is great for intimate celebrations, romantic dinners, or a double date with your favorite couple.
Lucques Sunday Supper is something to look forward to and this week's Halloween themed version didn't disappoint. The pumpkin soup with pumpkin seeds was spot on, as were the hake for seafood lovers and beef cheeks for meat eaters. Dessert was rich caramel nut tart and for $45 per person you can't beat it.
I have not been here for at least a couple of years, and was very pleased with the entire evening. The food was well-prepared and seasonal, the table service was very nice, attentive and professional. Nice atmosphere, with energy but without feeling crowded or that you had to yell. Other than we had to wait a stretch for our reservation and the drinks were just passable, I look forward to the next opportunity to dine here.
Only problem was the noise level. All in our party had difficulty hearing each other. Service took too long for delivery of our main course.
I had heard about the short ribs and since I was in town I had to try them. Hands down the best thing I ever ate!
Our second visit to Lucques was more memorable than the first. The menu was creative and diverse, and the food was extremely well prepared. The service was attentive without being overbearing and the room albeit a bit noisy is nicely appointed an interesting. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a well executed, inspired meal.
Took my wife here for our anniversary and had a wonderful meal. Great ambiance, service and food. Really enjoyed it and would certainly return!
This is an amazing place with amazing food. I took my wife her for our anniversary and everything was amazing. Great wine list that you may not be familiar with but excellent. The appetizers are perfect size and complement the experience perfectly., entrees are a little slice of heaven. The short rib is a must try and would love to go back for more. The service,food and experience was a must try,
I wanted to take my friend out for a chatty Bistro lunch. The restaurant was smart and the service was sufficiently attentive but low key. It was busier outside in the patio but quiet inside. I liked the food which was freshly prepared and not immediately thrust in front of us. The flavors were intense and well- balanced. I enjoyed the white bean soup and my guest a flavorful salad. The food quantities were judged right and neither nouvelle cuisine nor peasant. My guest enjoyed every mouthful of food and was content. My only observation was that my tiny fries were a tad overdone and brittle. However the steak in my Steak Frites was absolutely delicious. I would have had dessert but it was, after all, lunch!
Lucques continues to serve wonderful food. That kind of consistency is hard to find in LA. The short ribs are out of this world I would drive 100 miles to for that dish. The outside is lovely on a warm summer night.
Finally a place where the 4 of us could hear ourselves talk and yet the place was jammed. No loud music to scream over. Food was excellent and service perfect.
Sunday Supper at Lucques is always highly enjoyable and excellent value.
The high quality of the food, and intense flavors, are a surefire thing at Lucques. I have LOVED this place for many years now, and will continue going again and again. I always have a difficult time narrowing down my menu choices. I very much enjoyed everything, from the wine to high level of the service.
Unbelievably great & amazing food - a foodies must do!!
The ambiance is wonderful - the food divine and the service friendly and professional. It doesn't get better than Lucques!!!!
I'm a huge Suzanne fan and visit all her LA restaurants regularly. However, when I'm needing a comfort food fix, Lucques is my go-to place. I love the cozy ambiance, the delish food, and the warm service. You feel "filled up" in a good way!
This was our first time at Lucques. The atmosphere is a nice blend of elegant and rustic. We requested cocktails that were not on the menu and I got the best whiskey sour of my life. The meal was superb; it was truly memorable. We tried the short ribs and the hanger steak. We both started with a white bean soup. Both of our meals were really special. They accommodated our request to have a post dinner cup of tea by the fire. This is a special place that I definitely visit again.
We finally decided to give Lucques a try. We're so glad that we did! We had an early reservation at 6:15 and were seated immediately at a booth in the main dining room. Even though the room quickly filled up with diners, we were never rushed. We ordered the pear/grape salad and the bean soup to start: both delicious. Our main dishes were the halibut, skirt steak, and pork medallions. All three were beautifully plated and wonderful. After reading reviews about the desserts, we had to try some, and we're glad that we did. The confection plate was enough for three: all types of housemade chocolates. We also tried the Napoleon, which was accompanied by dulce de leche and coffee ice cream. Yum! We'll go again!
Lucques is a classic restaurant with atmosphere, lively clientele and superb food. It is a place you always want to remain and go to for a special evening.
Recently had the Sunday Supper. Of course, only one choice (of entree), so no chance to explore the menu, but we all loved everything, particularly the tangerine sorbet with pomegranite arils and honey. That would be worth going back for if it was ever actaully on the memu.
One of the few Los Angeles restaurants where good food and quiet ambience is preferred over the trendy and overpriced simile of dining. Sunday night dinners are a special value for price and menu.
We've been coming to Lucques' Sunday Prix Fixes on occasion for years. This was the best ever. Ever! A memorial to the late Judy Rogers of San Francisco's Zuni Cafe, everything was superb. The bread was "to die for", reminding us of Nancy Silverton's best when La Brea bakery was on La Brea. And from there on it just got better. The Stracciatella was beautiful -- Ms. Rogers would have been proud. My Blue Nose Sea Bass was great, and my wife's duck confit one of the best ever. Did I mention dessert? Equally great. I'm rarely this loquacious, but this was truly memorable. And our server, Jesse, was equally fine. Experienced, knowledgable, even-handed -- the model of ability and experience. And all this for forty-five bucks before tax and tip.

First-Year Graduate Student Housing
First-year graduate students are offered a limited number of efficiency, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments located on campus. There will be no lease renewals or extensions in order to ensure that the units will be available for the next incoming group of first-year graduate and medical students.
Applications for units in the 2013-2014 First-Year Graduate Student Housing Program are now available. First-Year Graduate Housing Application
Lease Period
Lease periods are for 12 months. Contracts will begin June 1, July 1, or August 1, 2013, depending on which graduate program you are enrolled in. Please contact Tina Thompson at the Auxiliary Housing office for further details.
Description of Program
Brown University has established a program designed to assist graduate and medical students with housing in their first year at Brown University. To be eligible for this program, an applicant must be:
- A first-year graduate or medical school student
- Attending Brown University for the first time (those who attended Brown as an undergraduate or previously as a graduate/medical student are not eligible for this program)
To apply for one of these units, students must fill out the First Year Graduate Application Form and submit it to the office of Auxiliary Housing by the application deadline indicated on the form. Submission of an application does not guarantee placement in a unit. Placement is based on start date of housing contract and receipt date of the application form. Any units remaining after June 10, will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
On the notification date stated on the application, applicants will be e-mailed their housing assignments. After acceptance of the assignment, applicants will receive a rental agreement via an e-mail attachment, which must be signed and returned to Auxiliary Housing on or before the deadline stipulated. If the rental agreement is not returned by the lessee, the applicant will lose the assigned unit, and the top-ranking applicant on the waiting list will be assigned the unit.
Students may not rent a two-bedroom apartment in this program for occupancy by one person or a three-bedroom apartment for occupancy by two people (students desiring to do so should apply for other Brown-owned properties). A two-bedroom unit must house at least two people (related or unrelated) and a three-bedroom unit must house at least three people (related or unrelated) per Brown's program requirements. Per city ordinance, not more than four unrelated adults may occupy the same apartment. Roommates will be assigned to multi-bedroom units unless an applicant for a multi-bedroom unit meets the minimum occupancy requirement. For this reason, it is very important to name a preferred roommate, who must also meet the program eligibility requirements and who must also apply for the program.
Applicants may also state that if they are unsuccessful in obtaining a studio or one-bedroom apartment, they wish to withdraw their application.
Brown University reserves the right to add, remove, or change dwelling units included in this program and also to terminate this program at any time subject to its obligations under the rental agreements executed under the program. Brown University does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, age handicap, status as a veteran, national or ethnic origin, or sexual orientation.

It took me a long time to realize that the things my parents did were not exactly normal. I was about 7 years old, and it was the tail end of the 1950s, when it started to dawn on me that they were . . . well, let's just say they were different. For instance: my friends and I got shots when we went to the doctor and we hated them. But my parents stabbed themselves with needles almost every day, and seemed to enjoy it. Weird.
Most of my friends' parents sounded like the adults in school or on TV when they talked. People understood them. My parents, on the other hand, had their own language, laced with a flowery slang that I picked up the same way the Puerto Rican kids could speak English at school and Spanish at home with their abuelas.
And then there was the matter of how they talked. My parents and their friends spoke this exotic language very slowly. There were other odd things. For instance, they often slept standing up, and this group narcolepsy could strike right in the middle of the most dynamic conversation. Someone would start a sentence: "Those ofay cats bopping out on the stoop are blowin' like Birrr . . . " and suddenly the words would begin to come out slower. And. Slower. Soon they wouldn't be speaking at all. Eventually our living room would be filled with black and white hipsters suspended in time and space, while I ran through the petrified forest of their legs. My favorite game was waiting to see if the ashes from their cigarettes would ever drop. Somehow they almost never did.
I can still remember the day when I finally realized that there was a name for this unusual lifestyle. Read more…

My son is 15 months old and LOVES this table. He loves splashing the water and playing with the sand. He will play around the table for a solid hour before wanting to do something else. I would definitely recommend this for little children as well as older kids.We've filled it with both sand and water and have had no problems with leaking. I had to assemble this on my own and had a little trouble with the screws - this product should absolutely be assembled with an electric/cordless drill otherwise it would have taken forever. The lid is another great feature because it stays on and doesn't let anything inside - I assembled this right before a thunderstorm and the lid kept the sand completely dry. The umbrella is a little flimsy, but keeps the table shaded in the hot sun. We bring the umbrella inside after he's done playing to keep it from getting damaged.I VERY happy that I purchased this product, and I would recommend this to anyone.

This product lived up to its description. I was completely pleased with everything. Its a fun outside activity that provides hours of safe play time. My only issue is with fellow reviewers who made an issue about other sand/table boxes not having a secured top (which prevents rain water from getting into the sand and other debris), unlike this one. The main reason we purchased this particular sand/table box was due to that precise reason (having a secured top) but my son is constantly mixing the water and sand and putting dirt in the water and sand...so its actually comical that we spent so much money on something that was going to get dirty either way.

Great Activity Center
By Laura
from Norman, OK
About Me Education Oriented, Parent
Comments about Step2 Sand & Water Activity Center:
This center is a perfect height for my 30 inches tall one year old. He is able to play in both sides and stand easily at the side. I like that it comes with one side for sand and one for water, an umbrella that is fitted into the center but can easily be removed and collapsed, and that toys are included in the table for both water and sand fun. The table is sturdy and durable. The umbrella has been blown out of the table several times during rain storms, but the table has stayed put. The only negatives are that I wish the table was adjustable and could sit on the ground as well as stand and that the umbrella could be folded and stored within the table with the top on. Otherwise, super happy customer. Only wish Toys R Us sold the safe sand online too!

About Me Grandparent
I bought the sand/water table for my 3 yr old grandson's birthday. He is obsessed with it. We've had it now for about a month. The water side ends up with sand, but we drain it every few days and refill. A good idea anyway to have fresh water. I love that it has a snug lid. Assembly was easy. The table has room for several kids to play at the same time. O loves the umbrella. Even when it is not needed, he likes having it. The umbrella was much larger and nicer than I thought it would be.I would definitely recommend this purchase. A good value for the money.

Perfect Addition

About Me Educator, Parent
I run a small home daycare, and this table was a perfect addition to our outdoor activities. My own son is 3 and very very tall for his age, this table is a great height. We mainly use this as a sand table. The umbrella is also a perfect addition to the table!
Love this activity center!
By CharlottesMom11
from Texas
My mother bought this for my daughter last spring, and it's been a big hit ever since we got it! It's nice weather all year here in Texas, so we definitely have gotten our moneys worth. My daughter loves the sand area, and she loves to throw the sand in the water. She also loves shoveling the sand and putting it into her pail (pail does not come with table). This is my daughter's favorite toy, and she has a LOT of toys outside, including a big play set. She was 1 year old and will be 2 in a couple of days. The lid is great for keeping the rain out. We've never had anything crawling in her sand either (thank goodness). great buy! Thanks 'Mimi'!!

My neighbor children have this item and seeing how they enjoy playing with their Sand & Water Activity Table is what prompted me to purchase two for my great-granddaughters. I know they will have wonderful times this spring and summer playing in the sand and water.
Step 2 Sand & Water Activity Is a Hit!
By Kathy & Dennis thrilled grandparents
from Port St Lucie Florida
Excellent quality, colorful, easy to assemble and the Step 2 Sand & Water Activity is a hit with our twin 3 year old granddaughters. We set it up on the deck outside and we enjoy watching them play endlessly and happily when they visit. Very good product for the price. Only one negative comment from grandpa: the plug for the water portion leaks somewhat releasing water down one of the legs of the sandbox.

Davis Love III faces 'gut decision' on choices for final four US Ryder Cup spots
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Now comes the difficult part – perhaps the most difficult part – of Davis Love's job as captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
He has to fill out the final four spots on the squad.
The eight automatic qualifiers, via a points system, were set with Sunday's completion of the PGA Championship, and Love will announce his captain's picks Sept. 4 with the match-play competition against Europe taking place Sept. 28-30 at Medinah in suburban Chicago.

What do you have to smile about today?Posted Wednesday, January 23, 2013, at 1:26 PM
This life we live is crazy, and I'm slowly learning it just isn't going to slow down. Lately, I've learned I'm OK with that.
When I was growing up, I remember being so excited to grow up and get out on my own. I was ready to make my own rules, go to bed whenever I felt like it and find a career I loved. So far, I've stuck to the same general rules I was taught as a child because consistency keeps me sane. The dreams of staying up all night just because I could? Those nights weren't fun when I was forced to do so to stay caught up on my mathematics classes and writing assignments in college. Now, even though friends my age tease me, I'm not even ashamed to announce my 9 p.m. bedtime. I'm pretty sure I stayed up later in high school. The best part is I am completely content in my life right now. I am surrounded by the most incredible people. My entire family is supportive as I try to find where I fit in. My dad is infamous for his joking personality, but he keeps us all on our toes. My mom is always on standby with medicine and love when I need her most. My sister is by my side as I make decisions to set the path for a successful future. My grandparents are always nearby when I need words of encouragement. There are times when life gets frustrating, and they are always reminding me the rough patch will soon be over. I'm working two jobs right now in order to stay on my feet, and it's encouraging when people tell me they respect my ability to work so hard. I had a customer tell me the other day she admired my work ethic. It's always nice to get the reassurance when you are questioning decisions yourself. My co-workers are the nicest and most understanding people I've ever met. They cheer me on when I get frustrated, and cheer with me when things seem to be going right for a change. Most importantly, in my career I get to meet some of the nicest people in Greene County. Last week, I had the privilege of sitting down with two veterans, Raymond and Houston Thomas. They told me about their time in the Army, and reflected on some of the stories from a very different time. Houston taught me more about the Korean War in an hour than I'd ever learn in a classroom, and I gained a new respect for those service members who had to travel by the thousands overseas to get to their destination. All too often I let the negativity take over, and I forget to look at all the positive aspects of my life. I sometimes stress when I am working seven days a week, but I have to remind myself it's worth it to be able to stand on my own two feet. I may not have the money to go buy the latest trends like most 20-something women prefer, but I have a roof over my head, heat in my home and a car to get me from point A to point B.

Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] I smile because I was raised to know right from wrong; it's better to forgive and forget and I smile because those that I love most are happy and healthy. I have a wonderful job that pays our way. I smile because I know I am forgiven for my faults. I smile because at the end of the day, I look forward to more. -- Posted by Orion's Belt on Wed, Jan 23, 2013, at 3:46 PM

posted a message on I was thinking also that it may be a cool idea to have something like a trade lounge. Maybe a custom town-like level (or just Act 1/5) where players could join (between 8-16), and trade. Personally I always liked in D2 being able to go to trade rooms and do business. OOO maybe that could turn the Act 1 Tavern into a trade room, or make a bigger levelPosted in: Diablo III General Discussion
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from Mini641I have a feeling the games economy and trading in general will be near non-existent.
If the loot is anything like the console version which it probably will be without a AH.
Players will simply farm for their own items or farm in a very small group and share.
Stuff like account wealth and item worth wont matter at all.
Gold wont really matter since crafting and any other gold sink will be killed off by low costs.
I've seen it happen in D3 on Console, In Torchlight 2 on PC. I expect D3 on PC to follow suit. The only trading based ARPG left will be PoE and that game is like that because the drops really, really suck and the entire game is a life sink.
Thats actually a good point, for me as a player of the Diablo series, I actually prefer solo play for the most part. It would be nice to think that my own farming will be all I need to make my characters top tier and then maybe some trading for perfect gear towards the end may be nice -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from pylorihAll you need to get an idea of what happens to gold is to look at the D2 economy where gold is useless.
yeah that is my thought as well, however it may be worth thinking about how much gold we have to spend on upgrading gems, crafting high end gear, and who knows how expensive the Mystic could get. -
posted a message on Hey all,Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
With the announcement of the AH shutting down, I am sure lots of us are wondering where the economy of the game will end up and most relevant to us, is what we can do to prepare.
My initial thoughts are that gold will obviously become harder to get, as we have to either trade for it, or find it in game. This makes me think 2 things. First, people with gold in the billions, could remain really ritch, but since the only gold sinks (to our knowledge), are Crafting (Gems, Armor, Weapons, and Mystic). and repairs, this could mean that actually having large sums of gold may not be as valuable.
Another thing that may happen is that, following the AH shutdown, gold may be a strong trading source, but then fall off as time goes on.
Regarding gear, I think that even the most perfect gear in the game will lose a lot of value, considering that even the best is only lvl 63 gear. We don't know how high the gear level will be in the expansion, but since the max level in D3 Vanilla is 60 with 63 gear, we could speculate that the gear level could be beyond 70. This means to me that having perfect gear is more relevant to your characters ability to farm at X MP and get better gear when Loot 2.0 and the expansion kicks in.
Anyway theses are just my initial thoughts and reactions. Let us all know what you guys think. -

If you want to have fun doing something unconventional, thats fine. But there will always be a way to min-mix your time as far as efficiency goes.
For fun. Purely for fun.
It's also why I have two wizards, one main for all the min/max/highest potential type and the second one designed to just run the ninja spec. It's also a way to explore new concepts of builds in case the existing abilities get major buffs or changes come expansion. She's currently at paragon 83 now. So once she hits 100, I'll see if she can reach MP10. I can run MP8 with the spec fairly easily (kill time is a bit slow, but it's a lot of fun teleporting and running illusions nonstop).
This! Also Jaetch you should Stream big fan -

If you want to have fun doing something unconventional, thats fine. But there will always be a way to min-mix your time as far as efficiency goes.
I mean we will probably only play several times a week due to time scheduling and because of the better drops and reduced mob density i think this could be alot of fun especially since we already have a tank and 2 ranged dps classes in our group.
As such i dont expect to be farming mp 8-10 -
posted a message on Hey guys my 3 brothers and I are going to start playing a console run this Sunday. They are all new to D3 and have chosen Barbarian, Witch Doctor, and Demon Hunter. So i started thinking that as far as gear is concerned we have a STR, INT, and Dex class respectively. I really want to play a Wiz and I was trying to think what would be a cool complementing spec. Then I remembered Jaetch had that sick Ninja Wizard.Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
(for reference)
I think it will work out well, as i can look for gear with 70% int and 30% Dex playing as a mobile melee for the party as opposed to playing a monk. What do you all think? -

If you're like me, you avoid most hair "serums" because they rely so heavily on some kind of silicone to create that shine. This is different, and much much better. It's more like a super-light leave-in conditioner with glossiness. Me LOVES IT!
This product did not impress me. I did not notice any appreciable difference. I did not care for the milky texture of the product. I'll stay with my current product which is more like an oil.
I just use a little of this on the ends of my hair. It softens and gives an over-all appearance of being thicker, healthier. Smells great too!
I don't really buy into the hype that this will give you "youthful" hair in just a week. It did, however, give me a nice temporary shine which is all I expected it to do. Probably won't be a go-to product for me as I already have a shine product I like but if you are looking for a serum with a mild scent, this may work well for you.
I absolutely loved this! I wished that the sample was larger.. I went through it too quickly! Nexxus is a great brand and I love that it's in stores as well for a quick convenience.
This is supposed to help make your hair look better. It didn't. It says to use a pea sized amount on your hair, but that doesn't make a difference. Even if you use more, your hair is still in the same shape. Save your money.
Ended up ordering the full size of this elixir. Let me say that the smell is great! It does not weigh hair down at all (I would avoid getting it too near the roots, though, just to be safe.) I didn't give 5 stars due to the fact that I didn't notice a huge difference in my hair after i finished the bottle.
This product is amazing. I was a little hesitant on using this on my hair because I'm crazy with products on my hair, but I ended up LOVING it. Not only does this smell amazing, but it made my hair feel amazingly soft. I just bought this for my mom who has incredibly course curly hair hoping it will be able to tame her crazy mane. I would definitely recommend this!
...but not well enough for me to choose it over my go-to detangler & protective styling product.
It's not greasy, but it also doesn't give my hair that super-soft feel that I like.
I absolutely love this product. My hair tends to be dry and wispy on the ends and full of static. I apply this to the ends and a little all over. My hair styles nicely without flyaways and looks shiny and healthy. It smells nice too. A+ Nexxus!

Villahermosa, the capital city of Tabasco, is a hot and humid city with lush vegetation. This is a destination where the modernity co-exists with history and cosmopolitan life is juxtaposed with the remains of one of Mesoamerica's oldest civilizations. With our flights to Villahermosa, Mexico travel to this unique destination with Aeromexico and discover one of the most beautiful cities in the South Mexico.
In Villahermosa water is everywhere. There are several lakes and two major rivers run on either side of it: the Grijalva and the Carrizal. This city is full of wildlife, and it is quite an experience to take a walk in any of the 12 parks and visit the "Zona de Luz" a corridor full of coffee houses, restaurants and nightclubs.
The streets are so leafy that you may feel like you are driving through a gigantic garden, but then the parks are as impressive too, such as the Tomas Garrido Canabal park or the La Venta Park Museum, where you can discover sculptures and monuments from the ancient Olmec civilization, including the famous gigantic stone heads.
Villahermosa, Tabasco was founded officially in 1564 by the Spanish conquers. In 1826 the village was raised to the rank of city and it has been captured several times by invaders during the Mexican-American War and the French intervention in Mexico.
The cuisine of Tabasco is very unique thanks to the luscious plant-life, which is a major source of cooking ingredients. The typical dishes of this region range from green mondongo or tripe, salty beef with chaya, a local spinach equivalent; the cochinita horneada or baked pork, the chirmole de pejelagarto – a stew made with the predatory gar fish and chili, and the famous Tabasco corn dough tamales.
There are also the delicious exotic fruit desserts of zapote or guapaque. The pozol drink made with corn, cocoa and water is a refreshing accompaniment.
If you want to discover one of the most beautiful cities in the south region of Mexico, check out our flights to Villahermosa, Mexico with Aeromexico, the "Emerald of the Southeast".

One thing I do have that I never use though, is a pontoon from creek company. I'm thinking about selling it. If one of you was interested Id sell it cheap. Might even bring it to you, but I'd charge a day of fishing for the delivery charge, LOL. Anyway, I hope all is well with you both. Jason

Row over Overton land is 'vendetta' (From Basingstoke Gazette)
When news happens, text BAZ and your photos or videos to 80360. Or contact us by email and phone.
Long-running squabble continues
3:00pm Thursday 18th October 2012 in News By Emily Roberts, Chief Reporter
A LONG-running squabble is continuing about a house plot that allegedly extends on to a playing field.
After its meeting last week, Overton Parish Council is to write to the chief executive of the borough council to ask why enforcement action has not been taken against a developer they claim has built a house on several feet of the Edward Kersley Playing Field.
But the developer has hit back saying the parish council has worked itself up into a "personal vendetta" against him.
In February, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council said it could be forced to take legal action if no solution was found to the dispute about the boundary of the house in Red Lion Lane, Overton.
The approved plans apparently mean the house has encroached by several feet on to the borough council-owned playing field, which is leased to the parish council. The developer won a planning appeal last November to build the three-bedroom home.
At last week's parish council meeting, Councillor Peter Baker said: "There's a lot of resentment in the village.
If they take six feet of our park then they have gone over the line and we want a legal prosecution paid for by Basingstoke and Deane."
Councillors agreed to write to borough council chief executive Tony Curtis about the matter.
But Steve Smith, of DGS Developments, told The Gazette it had been agreed with a borough surveyor that the boundary wall was "as accurately placed as was reasonable".
He added: "The claim that the boundary wall is six feet into the playing fields is at best fanciful, at worst an attempt at political justification of this personal vendetta."
He the firm's solicitors had written to the borough council legal department but had received no details in reply.

The Galactic Serpent: Alberto Villoldo
From the beginning of time an umbilical cord of cosmic energy has extended from the center of our Galaxy and nourished the Earth. This is the legendary Feathered Serpent of the Hopi, the Toltec, and the Maya, whose arrival to the Americas on 2012 has been foretold by countless shamans. For the past 5,600 years the Galactic Serpent lay coiled at the foothills of the Himalayas, nurturing the great spiritual traditions that arose in Tibet and Kashmir. The Galactic Serpent will reside in the Americas for the next 5,600 years to awaken the feminine power and the heart chakra of Mother Earth. She has coiled herself at the foot of the highest peak outside of the Himalayas, Mt. Aconcagua, and is snaking up the Andes mountains into North America.
Dr. Alberto Villoldo describes how you can awaken the power of the Galactic Serpent to lead an illumined life where you will know no limit to your ability to dream your world into being. Filmed in the Andes Mountains of Peru, Chile and Argentina with a special appearance by the Laika prophecy keepers of Peru, and Machi Clorinda of Chile. Learn More$23.95 -

While traveling in the Earth's orbit over 240 miles up, American astronaut Karen Nyberg joined Leading Women anchor Becky Anderson for a live interview from the International Space Station (ISS) Friday.
When she's not working on scientific experiments, Nyberg can be found tweeting amazing pictures of the planet, chasing floating desserts in space and knitting. Read on for the full interview.
CNN: Station, this is CNN. How do you hear me?
Karen Nyberg: Good Morning CNN. This is station. I have you loud and clear.
CNN: Simeon Birchall, a CNN.com commenter asks is there huge competition for every seat on a shuttle launch?
KN: Well I don't know if I'd say competition. Definitely everybody that is in the astronaut office that wants to fly is very eager to do so even if they have gone before. Generally it's kind of going in order of when a class is selected, they start flying people from that class.
And then it depends on what roles are needed. If we need to fly somebody that is going to be the commander of the space station, frequently most often that is somebody who has experience flying; if we need somebody who is going to be doing space walks, we need somebody that can do that. Back when we were flying the shuttle, there were a lot more specific tasks doing robotics ops and the space walks.
Now on the space station everybody pretty much has to do everything and so it's a little competitive I guess, but your turn comes along.
CNN: @Alizabev asks what type of experiments are you working on?
KN: This week we've been doing a lot of experiments on our ocular health. We've noticed some problems over the past several years with many of our astronauts.
They come back to Earth after three to six months in space and have long term vision problems, changes in their vision. We are trying to figure out what exactly is causing that.
Luca (Parmitano) and I have been involved in numerous tests. We're doing tonometry -- we are looking at the pressure of the eye. We are doing ultrasounds to look at the morphology of the eye, we are doing fundoscopy to take images of the retina, vision tests.
We are hoping that we can determine exactly what is causing this and hopefully mitigate the problem, especially if we start longer duration missions going to Mars ... we really need to understand this so we don't degrade the vision of every astronaut that is going into space.
CNN: A commenter on CNN.com Marik asks what do you think of the Mars One project which aims to privately settle people on the planet?
KN: I think it would be interesting. I think there are a lot of challenges and a lot of things that need to be figured out before that can be a successful mission.
Mars is a long ways away and we have a lot to learn ... I don't know how many years from now that will be, but that type of thing may become standard.
CNN: Floyd Moore aged 5 and Camper Carl of @AZChallenger both asked the same question: What is it like to sleep in space? And have you ever floated out of your bed?
KN: It's actually quite comfortable sleeping in space. We have sleeping bags that we hang from the wall. The first couple weeks when I was here, it was very important to me to feel like I was almost laying on something. I would lay with my legs sideways in the sleeping back so that I felt pressure along my back from one side of the sleeping bag and I felt pressure from my legs on the other side.
Now I've become a little more adapted to it and I can just float there. And no, I've never floated out of the bed. I'm usually zipped in pretty well.
CNN: @Womenintheair asks: Which female astronauts influenced you? And have you met any of them as an astronaut?
KN: Sally Ride was making her first flight into space and she really impacted me. And also just looking back, I did some research on Valentina Tereshkova when I was in high school because she was the first female to fly in space.
And I actually did meet her last year for a brief moment before traveling to Baikonur as a back up for one of the missions. It was just (a) fantastic opportunity to get to meet her.
I never did meet Sally Ride. I met her sister after her passing but it would have been fantastic to meet her too. But I think those two, the firsts, those names stick in your head and they really become inspirations for you.
CNN: @nmedia_s asks do you think there is intelligent life in space -- besides the people at the ISS?
KN: I don't know. I don't think I'm smart enough to know. The universe is so big. It's hard to imagine that there isn't something out there that is similar to our solar system and could provide what the Earth provides for us.

I think you are right and I have been moving my teaching methods closer and closer to sport fencing drills for a while now. On the other side of the coin, the way that most clubs teach HEMA is somewhat similar to how martial arts are taught in Japanese dojos, ie. starting with set techniques, repeated a lot. That does seem to be how a lot of the historical masters may have taught, given what evidence is available in the treatises.
Time out for a second.
I am going to recommend something.
Get hold of a book called Fencing:The Modern International Style by Istvan Lukovich
http://www.amazon.com/Fencing-Modern-In ... 0965946819
It's getting on a bit now - and I found it a tough read because of the quality of translation - but it is a good foundational text book. It's aimed at coaches and is supposed to enumerate Lukovich's training method. You'll probably find it interesting because he discusses the old method and contrasts it with the "new". he explains what your aims as a coach should be and the state you want to put your pupil in. It's thought provoking stuff.
I'm not proposing you adopt the modern fencing style but I am proposing you adopt a modern teaching method and reduce the kata element of your work. I realise this statement may be unpopular.
In short; yes this is how the old masters taught. It was the received wisdom but we have learned that there are alternatives.
++ Removed Italian example to avoid confusion. ++
You're probably not interested in the actual fencing stuff but look at how he proposes you teach something this complex.
