San Diego has 10 castles around the region.
Believe it or not there are 10 castles in San Diego or very close by. Once upon a time, people dared to build castles that they could call home. Each is unique and defined as a castle by those who built them.
We became curious about what castles, if any, were in San Diego. Here's what
we found out:
Ramona Castle or Amy Strong Castle
Have you or someone you know ever golfed at Mt. Woodson? For those of you who have not heard about Mt. Woodson, it is located off of Highway 67 on the way to Ramona. Don't feel bad if you never knew the castle existed, you weren't supposed to know. The 27-room castle was surrounded by iron gates and what was basically a horticultural moat. Now you know why you might have passed by a castle on the way to Ramona and never knew of its existence.
Did you know that on the property of Mt. Woodson, a stone castle built by a San Diego seamstress still stands? Officially called Mount Woodson Castle, most locals refer to the national historic landmark as the "Amy Strong Castle." Who was Amy Strong? She was a very successful seamstress who came to San Diego in 1881 for health reasons.
The beautiful, 27-room castle was made possible by Ms. Strong's 27 years of hard work sewing dresses for the San Diego élite. Who were the élite? None other than the Grants, the Marstons, the Scripps, and the Speckles. She journeyed to Europe on many occasions in order to get the finest cloth for her loyal customers. In fact, Ms. Strong's clothing designs were so sought after that at one point she employed 75 work-at-home seamstresses!
A cool $50,000 and five years of construction bought and built the custom-made castle she so desired. Ms. Strong's many travels to Europe inspired the design of the castle and the grounds that can be seen today. For example, she decided to put a painted domed ceiling in the dining room because she loved seeing them in Europe.
Amy did not stop there. She asked her friends (and noted architects) Emmor B. Weaver (Rosecroft), John Vawter, and Irving Gill to futher help her with the designs and the layout. She also consulted with none other than Kate Sessions to help her plan the garden and yard areas. Olive trees descended from the padres planted at Mission San Diego de Alcala, Martha Washington roses, and Mt. Vernon Ivy were some of the more historical contributions to Ms. Strong's castle garden.
Ms. Strong also asked Kate to plant species that would both attract hummingbirds and provide privacy. Privacy was very important to Ms. Strong. She was practical however. Because of the remoteness of the caste, she had a telephone installed which was a rarity in those days.
What we admire most about Amy Strong was that she was living a sustainable lifestyle before the term was even coined. Ms. Strong wanted to incorporate the latest Craftsman, "back to nature" design complete with a windmill to pump her own water. It was a Dutch-style windmill that contained a cold storage room with a water tank above. She had the castle's main fireplace on the first floor placed directly below the second story bedrooms so that the heat would rise and help warm the upstairs rooms. She also used a lot of glass, including tall windows and stained glass, to let in the natural light as much as possible.
Some of the walls were made with very large local boulders, and adobe bricks made from her property's clay soil. Back then, the adobe bricks were actually made by the local Mesa Grande Indians. The steps were made of grey granite rock that was located on her property. The lumber she used came from her own eucalyptus, oak, and redwood trees that were felled to be built into the mansion.
Like a good Craftsman home, many of the porches allowed fresh air to circulate around the house providing much needed relief from the backcountry heat. Ms. Strong was especially sensitive about the kitchen. Aside from having plenty of cupboard space, she made sure that the kitchen was situated so that it would catch the prevailing westerly breeze.
However, what continues to hold peoples' imaginations the most is Ms. Strong's séance room. In those days, séances were a popular form of entertainment. The séance room has a circular ceiling complete with astrological symbols. It was actually hand painted by Strong and her niece, Margaret Meyers. If you happen to go, you might just get visited by someone who used to visit the old stone castle during these séances.
But you won't find Amy Strong on the castle grounds. She and her niece lived in the castle until 1950 when, once again, ill health prompted her to move somewhere near Lemon Grove. Ms. Strong passed away two years later in 1952.
The Strong Castle has been a historic landmark since 1978 and you are free to come visit during the operating hours of 6am-4pm Monday through Friday. The address of Mt. Woodson is 16422 North Woodson Drive, Ramona.
Woreland Castle - Escondido
Issac Jenkinson Frazee built the Woreland Castle in 1893. It overlooks Moosa Canyon near what is now Old Castle Road. If the name Frazee is familiar to you, it wasn't necessarily because of Frazee Paints, Isaac Frazee was a great uncle to former Carlsbad mayor and state assemblyman Robert Frazee.
As a poet and a painter, Isaac Frazee, took to the natural beauty of Moosa Canyon and the Native American culture. He convinced his wife to settle in the area to build his dream home, er, castle. The idea of building a castle rose up from Mr. Frazee's interest in his ancestral home of Aberdeen, Scotland. In fact, he traced his ancestry to the inhabitants of Dunnotar Castle near Aberdeen.
Inspired, the artist sketched a blueprint for a castle home modeled after Dunnotar. It would be three stories high with turreted top and walls that were three feet thick. At first, he and his wife lived in a tent and later in a two-story wooden house erected nearby. For two years Frazee worked on his own, breaking up rocks to be used in the project. As luck would have it, Frazee happened to meet a Scottish stonemason to help him build his dream castle which kept it as authentic as possible.
By 1893, Frazee and the Scotsman had built the tower and part of an adjoining outer wall. However, the rest of the castle was not completed because Isaac ran out of money and the Scotsman had to leave. So he has no other choice but to move his two-story, wood-framed house next to the tower.
The Frazee Family lived in the castle and raised a family of seven children. Mr. Frazee was a generous man who opened his property up to annual outdoor musical pageants. The pageants were held in a natural amphitheater that Frazee built on the castle grounds.
In 1922, the Frazees grew tired of living such an isolated life and began spending the winters in Laguna Beach, returning to their castle in the summers. In 1927, they moved permanently to Laguna Beach. Isaac Frazee died in 1942. Woreland Castle, with more rooms added, has continued as a private residence for a number of owners over the decades.
DIRECTIONS: If you want to take a "look-see," the Woreland Castle is located off of Gopher Canyon Road and I-15. Take Old Castle Road to get there.
Cupid Castle - Pauma Valley
The Cupid Castle was built in 1995 and is located just at the foot of Palomar Mountain. The Cupid Castle is a 4-suite bed and breakast establishment. The most recent owners haved added murals, medieval accents and other decorations to enhance that new castle-feel. This is a fairy tale type castle that also serves as a location for small weddings (up to 75 people), special events or romantic getaways, of course.
The castle is secluded and sits in the middle of a lemon orchard. Gardens are located around the castle and feature waterfalls, flowers and artistic fountains. According to the owners, overnight guests have a choice from four romantically decorated suites with a Jacuzzi tub and private balcony. A full breakfast is served each morning and a daily mid-afternoon happy hour features local wines, fruits and hors d'oeuvres.
DIRECTIONS: Cupid's Castle- 17622 Highway 76 Pauma Valley Phone: (760)742-3306
The Alpine Castle
The castle, built in 1983, is a custom home known as "The Alpine Castle." John Pottenger built the home with his Scandinavian Master Stonemason. Nestled among the hills of Alpine, it is somehow in the center of town. The castle is adorned with rare stone and precious woods found worldwide.
This custom castle features a 1.5 million gallon private pond, two water falls, three bedrooms, two kitchens, 2 lofts, 5 bathrooms, 6 fireplaces, 3 car garage, a large guest house (1 bedroom, 1-3/4 bath, and 3 car garage), and to top it all off, a bank-sized vault. How big is this man's castle? 16,000 sq ft. with a 4200 sq ft. deck! How much do you ask? The most recent price has been quoted at a cool $10 million.
DIRECTIONS: Take I-8 east to Tavern Rd exit. Right turn onto Tavern Rd. Left on Alpine Blvd. Right on Marshall next to the Alpine Inn. Left on Eltinge Street. Go slowly over three speedbumps. You'll see it on the right side. Miss Elle Street will be on your left.
Note to lookie-loo's: Be careful when snapping photos. Park on Miss Elle Street not on Eltinge Street as the road is too unsafe.
Aimee's Castle-Lake Elsinore
Aimee's Castle was built by famed evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in Lake Elsinor's Country Club Heights from 1926-1929 on five city lots on a hilltop on the northeastern side of Lake Elsinor. This Christian Pentecostal evangelist built the $5,000, 14-room, 5,000 sq. ft. home as a retreat.
She commissioned an architect to design the castle. Based on her interests and religious beliefs, he envisioned an Arabian mansions including turrets and minarets. As the story goes, this eccentric evangelist was given the property by local developers and the castle was paid for by the the tithes and offerings of her followers. The developers thought it would lure other big names down to the Lake Elsinore area.
Known as "God's greatest saleswoman," she really was a pioneer in spreading "the word" through all the latest means. Stories suggest she drove her 1912 Packard across the country painted with the message "Jesus is Coming-Get Ready." She also took to the modern airwaves for a radio broadcast and brought jazz music and dramatization to her sermons.
Aimee moved out of castle in the early 1940s. The castle changed hands many times. The current owner, Foursquare Church, bought the castle and property for $1 million. Thankfullt, they have restored the property back to its original luster.
The Lutz Castle -Julian
The Lutz Castle was built in the 1940s as a private residence. Designed from the Army Engineers insignia, this dual turret castle offers two historic adobe cottages built from Julian bricks and timber. The current owners are Sue and Gale Lutz who run an inn at the Lutz Castle. In fact, wall hangings inside the castle include samples of Sue Lutz's paintings and Gale Lutz's photography.
If you are interested in staying at this castle, it features a natural rock fireplace, fully equipped kitchens, and antique furnishings. The smaller Gwendolynn Cottage offers a mini library, full kitchen, teak and leather furnishings, and an expanded shower and bath. There is also a large swimming pool in the back courtyard.
DIRECTIONS: Go South on I-15, then South on State Highway 79 from Temecula. Connect with State Highway 78 to Julian, or connect with State Highway 78 at Escondido, and travel East to Julian.
Go South on I-5, then East on State Highway 78 to Julian or go East on I-8 then past Alpine, North on State Highway 79 through Cuyamaca State Park to Julian.
The Lutz Castle is located at 1291 Canyon Drive, Julian, CA 92036. Phone: (760)519-7718
We tried valiantly to get more information on these homes. While we may have curiosity about these homes, the residents want to keep things private. We honor that.
THE ENCHANTED FOREST - FALLBROOK This castle is way off-the-beaten path, 1/2 hour from the freeway and down 10-mile paved country road between Temecula and Fallbrook. There is no address for this castle. The castle is available for special events and weddings, only. You must arrange a special event to see it. Bummer.
CASTLE COTTAGE - JAMUL This has been a private residence for the last 38 years. No information can be found on the house, perhaps by design.
THE D.E. MANN HOUSE - CORONADO (1045 Loma Ave on Star Park, Coronado)
A 1928 Richard Requa-designed Moorish "castle" that's almost 5,000 square feet on a 12,375-foot lot. Richard Requa built many historic homes in San Diego.
THE DEL MAR CASTLE - DEL MAR (544 Avenida Primavera) This castle is located on a cliff overlooking the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Rumors about Paul Harris dropping out of Syracuse University because of academics are not true, Orange coach Jim Boeheim told me today. In fact, he couldn't be happier with the former Niagara Falls High All-American's development on and off the court.
"Paul just had his best sememster academically since he's been here,'' the Hall of Fame coach said. "I think a lot of the rumors stem from the fact that me and Paul don't always see eye to eye but in a good way. I'm trying to push him, like anyone who plays for me, to be the best player he can be and in turn Paul has responded by working harder. I pleased with both Paul and (former Niagara Falls star) Jonny (Flynn). They're both doing good academically."
Boeheim added that Harris is planning to attend the LeBron James basketball camp in Akron, Ohio next month to serve as a councilor. Of
Harris and Flynn will be joined by guards Andy Rautins and

All the Details on Deanna Pappas' Engagement Bash!
Love times two!
Party goers got a double dose of fun Sunday night at Hollywood hotspot Las Palmas -- where former Bachelor and Bachelorette stars Deanna Pappas and Holly Durst feted their engagements to twins Stephen and Michael Stagliano.
VIDEO: The couples tells Us about their engagement
As first reported by Us Weekly, Pappas, 28, and Durst, 27, met their identical fiances, 26, at a 2009 party for 2009's The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All special. Stephen asked Pappas for her hand in May, while Michael (who starred on season 5 of The Bachelorette) popped the question to Durst in June.
At the double-engagement bash, attendees munched on Italian and Mediterranean fare (in a nod to the twins' and Pappas' family heritage, respectively) -- plus glittery white and silver cupcakes.
PHOTOS: Bachelor/Bachelorette stars -- where are they now?
In attendance: Bachelor Pad stars Tenley Molzhan and Natalie Getz (who is Durst's roommate). A high point of the night, reports one insider: when the entire wedding party did a special dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller"! The two couples slow-danced to Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love." (DJ Lindsay Luv spun the evening's tunes.)
PHOTOS: Celebs' wedding albums
"Our engagement party was magical!" former Bachelorette Pappas tells UsMagazine.com. "It was filled with family, friends, laughter, and tons of love! We had a blast at Las Palmas....[I] want to do it again every night!!"

Detailed Description:
Some studies suggest that statin medications, which are a group of cholesterol-lowering medicines, may help prevent Alzheimer's disease. However, this has not been proven in humans. The purpose of this study is to see how simvastatin affects substances in the body called beta-amyloid 40 and beta-amyloid 42, as well as blood flow to the brain. These substances are found in both the brain and the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. High amounts of these substances may be associated with a greater risk of getting Alzheimer's disease.
The ESPRIT study will include 100 middle-aged adults (35-69 yrs) who have a parent with documented Alzheimer's disease. This study will see how the use of a particular statin medication, simvastatin, affects spinal fluid levels of beta-amyloid, inflammation, and cholesterol. In addition, these changes will be compared to changes in memory and thinking skills monitored throughout the study. Fifty of the ESPRIT subjects will also participate in the MRI substudy, which is examining the effects of the study medication on blood flow to structures in the brain that are associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Participants will take part in 5 visits (and an additional 2 visits, if participating in the MRI substudy) over the course of 9 months. Participants will undergo fasting blood tests (baseline, month 3, and month 9 visits), complete a medical history questionnaire (baseline), complete medication side effect review through questionnaire and/or blood sample (all visits), undergo lumbar puncture procedure (baseline and month 9 visits), complete memory testing (baseline, month 3 and month 9 visits), and MRI procedure (baseline and month 9 visits), if participating in MRI substudy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either simvastatin or a placebo each night for 9 months.

Abstract In Malta, the introduction of the Structure Plan followed a period of haphazard development which was perceived as ruining the characteristics of the island; the aim of the thesis is to determine whether the Structure Plan policies, in effect since 1992, have protected the natural environment in Malta. In 1988, the island was divided into two zones, one in which development was permissible under Temporary Provision Schemes and the remaining much larger area, commonly known as "Outside Development Zone". The study focused mostly on the latter area, and analysed through the use of development control data, the pressures which were exerted on the natural environment. This it did through the use of different methodologies, adapted from the work of several authors, who worked on the British planning system. Application, decision and enforcement data together with cartographic analyses and direct observations of decision boards were used in the study. The study demonstrated that Outside Development Zone was subjected to significant development pressure. The major cause of the development was policy breaches at decision level, which were not found to be restricted to any particular decision board. Most policy breaches occurred when granting permission to develop; refusals mainly being in line with policy. The agricultural and the dwellings group of developments were those which benefited most from such policy breaches. The results showed that Structure Plan policies had a positive effect on the decision-making process Outside Development Zone, only when the decision boards applied these policies correctly. However, over time, the performance of decision boards has improved. It is recommended that changes in the legislation occur to introduce a requirement whereby a decision (grant / refusal) should be accompanied by detailed reasons based on policy, thus limiting abuses. In addition, there is scope for additional studies focusing on the application of the only Local Plan in effect in Malta and on the effects on the environment of the less common development types. 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z Xanthophylls as metabolic precursors Davies, Bethan Wyn http://hdl.handle.net/2160/7774 2014-10-23T02:53:50Z 1986-01-01T00:00:00Z Xanthophylls as metabolic precursors Davies, Bethan Wyn 1986-01-01T00:00:00Z Effect of progesterone priming on ovarian angiogenic factors during late follicular and early luteal development Christensen, Ana Carolina Martinelli http://hdl.handle.net/2160/4578 2010-11-14T02:00:23Z 2009-11-09T00:00:00Z Effect of progesterone priming on ovarian angiogenic factors during late follicular and early luteal development Christensen, Ana Carolina Martinelli Infertility is a major issue in both human and animal medicine with a great economic impact on reproduction. In order to better understand the common causes of infertility it is necessary to understand the basic physiology underlying the complex process of folliculogenesis and luteogenesis (Campbell et al., 2003). The lack of extensive understanding of the factors involved in regulating follicular and oocyte maturation has resulted in the slow process of developing in vitro systems for the study of folliculogenesis (Campbell et al., 2004). However, domestic ruminants represent a valuable in vivo model system for the study of the endocrine and local mechanisms regulating follicular development not only in ruminants but also in humans (Campbell et al., 2003) and have thus been extensively used in reproduction research. Improved understanding of the basic cellular mechanisms of ovarian physiology may improve biotechnology strategies in livestock reproduction and enhance fertility protocols for endangered species. Similarly, a better understanding of these reproductive processes could lead to innovative strategies to improve reproductive health in women. 2009-11-09T00:00:00Z A Comparison of Ovarian Function in Juvenile and Adult Ewes Using In Vitro Culture and Proteomics Younes, Mohammed A. http://hdl.handle.net/2160/1977 2011-01-17T11:50:21Z 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z A Comparison of Ovarian Function in Juvenile and Adult Ewes Using In Vitro Culture and Proteomics Younes, Mohammed A. This work was carried out to compare the endocrine function of ovarian tissue isolated in vitro, in an identical environment between ewes and ewe lambs. Furthermore, to determine whether the differences in endocrine and reproductive function of ewes and ewe lambs are related to differences in the proteomics of corpora lutea, follicles and oocytes. Oestradiol concentrations in tissue cultured in TCM-199 were similar for ewe and ewe lamb follicles collected post slaughter on day 9 to 12 of the oestrous cycle and cultured for different incubation times but increased with increase in follicular size. Oestradiol secretion was greater (P<0.001) for ewe and ewe lamb follicles cultured in media with FCS. Media progesterone concentrations were higher (P<0.001) for ewe than ewe lamb follicles. Progesterone in media and in follicular fluid was increased with increased follicles size. Ewe CL, collected on day 9 to 12 of the oestrous cycle, produced more progesterone than ewe lamb CL when cultured in TCM-199 with or without FCS, PVA, BSA. Proteomics indicated more large spots, in ewe follicular and CL tissue average gels compared with ewe lamb average gels. The protein spots were estimated to be between 45 to 97 kD, in both tissue and age groups, this range of molecular weight could have affected steroid hormone synthesis. (Chapter.3). Ewe and ewe lamb follicles cultured with FSH and LH produced more oestradiol than without, furthermore, oestradiol concentration increased with follicle size. There was no difference in media oestradiol concentration between age groups after 24 h of culture. However, for follicles cultured for 2, 4 or 6 h, concentrations were greater after 4 and 6 h, in ewes than in ewe lambs. Overall ewe lamb follicles produced more progesterone (P<0.001) than ewe follicles when cultured with FSH and LH when cultured for 24 h, but no difference was observed after 2, 4 and 6 hours between ewes and ewe lambs Overall ewe follicles produced more (P<0.002) progesterone than ewe lambs when cultured with different concentration of hCG although there was no difference between ages with respect to oestradiol concentrations. Ewe CL secreted more progesterone (P<0.002) than ewe lamb CL, when cultured for 0 or 24 h. Furthermore, tissue concentrations were greater in ewe CL than ewe lamb CL after incubation in TCM-199, TCM-199 plus BSA, TCM-199 plus FCS and TCM-199 plus PVA. Ewe lamb CL produced more progesterone than ewe CL in medium containing LH when cultured for 2, 4 and 6 hours, but ewes produced more progesterone than lambs when CL were cultured with different concentrations of hCG. Relative to untreated shells, the protein profiles of the ewe follicular shells treated with FSH and LH changed to a greater extent than that of the ewe lambs treated gels in both ages contained more protein spots than control gels. The largest spots were estimated to be between 30 and 97 kDa (Chapter.4). There was no difference between age groups for follicles from ewes and ewe lambs treated with ovagen in oestradiol and progesterone concentrations observed after 2,4, 6 and 8 h of incubation in TCM-199. However, treatment with ovagen plus hCG resulted in higher oestradiol and progesterone concentrations in the media from ewe follicles compared to ewe lambs. Furthermore, there were more protein spots in the range 30 to 66 kDa marker in gels from ewes treated with either ovagen or ovagen plus hCG than for ewe lambs (Chapter 5). Lamb oocytes were smaller than ewe oocytes and developed to a lesser extent in culture. Furthermore, the addition of FCS to TCM-199 caused greater cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation than other media used in this experiment and ewe lamb oocytes have a similar 1D protein bands compared with ewe oocytes, but contained less protein (Chapter 6). 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z

Afro Introductions & Black Romance
Afro Introductions one of the largest, most popular black dating sites with lots of members across the world.
They aim to introduce African singles, African American singles, and their admirers (although you don't need to be African or African American to join the site, just interested in Afro dating).
All of their members are black, or are specifically interested in meeting a black partner.
If you're after interracial dating and romance, this is the site for you.
All the member profiles we looked at were of nice-looking people who made the effort to present themselves as intelligent, thoughtful prospects.
Which can be a rarity online, as we've learned in the course of reviewing way too many dating sites.
Afro Introductions: The Review
Free (Standard) membership:
With a free membership on this interracial dating site you can:

1 year: $119.99
Platinum membership:

Payment options: Credit or debit card, cheque or bank transfer, or Paypal.

Open to: Worldwide with an emphasis on the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and all African Countries
We like:
You're required to fill in several questionnaires and small essays before you can join as a free (Standard) member. This ensures a minimum profile quality that some other sites are lacking.
Afro Introductions is one of the biggest, most popular black dating sites with plenty of members over 40, so your chances of finding the one are very good.
We did two searches for men aged 40-42 and 50-52 and the search returned over 1000 results for each age group. Ditto for women between those ages. So there are plenty of members aged 40 plus on this site. So in terms of senior black dating, it gets a thumbs up.
They have a comprehensive Help section online.
You can do quite a lot with a free membership.
After you sign up, your welcome email has plenty of hints and tips as to how to best use the site.
We don't like:
We couldn't find any information on whether membership renewal is automatic. Presumably it is (with most dating sites it's automatic until you turn it off).
Aside from that minor point, this is an impressive Afro introduction site with a wide variety of nice-looking members. If senior black dating and black romance is your aim, this could be the site for you.
Gina smiled.
Wait'll the fashion police got an eyeful of these.

It was inevitable that Dr Mark Levin would respond to Bathtub Boy's latest attack. And respond he did. In the course of doing so, Dr Levin revealed some of the tidbits that emailers have been sending him about the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann. No high heels? Trim those fingernails? No wonder Dr Levin calls him a mental case. We have the audio for your listening pleasure:
Wow, the guy that sings solo there about, "He pretends I'm Murphy Brown" actually sounds like Olby!!! Too funny!!!
The new Murphy Brown.
"Good night and good panty wearing."
Krazy Keith is a known mental case
Miss Lobo nearly sprayed him with mace
He's seeing a shrink
His ratings stink
Only liked by his moonbat "fan base"
I can't believe the president of NBC was so gutless that he caved in to Squealers demand to have a solid door instead of one with a window. If Olbermann refused to go on the air, he should of said fine, then empty out your desk and get out of here.

The Entitled
- Year:2011
- Rating:MA
- Director:Aaron Woodley
- Cast:Devon Bostick, Ray Liotta, Laura Vandervoort, Kevin Zegers
- Release Date:February 08, 2012
- Distributor:Anchor Bay
- The Film:4.0
- The Disc:2.0
"...twisted and paints a scary picture of modern American youth."
Most people face financial difficulties at some stage in their lives. What most people don't do, is kidnap three rich kids and hold them for ransom. Paul (Kevin Zegers from Gossip Girl and Transamerica) sees his mum suffering and isn't able to help because they can't afford the medication. His plan is well researched, well thought out and nearly full proof. He befriends two college students to help with his plan and everything goes well until one hostage is killed and another two escape.
The film is twisted and paints a scary picture of modern American youth. The three wealthy kids live a life of partying and drugs, without much else to worry about. Paul's two well-chosen accomplices are sadistic and suicidal. They are well chosen because with their mental health issues, Paul is able to lay the blame and suspicion directly on to them. Yet as Paul taunts the wealthy kids' fathers (played brilliantly by familiar faces including Ray Liotta, Victor Garber and Stephen McHattie) into paying the ransom, you see how mentally ill-prepared Paul is.
Zegers really puts forward an amazing performance. There is a constant underlying determined malevolence. And even though he is the cause for a number of unnecessary deaths, you can't help but be on his side.
Special features include an alternate ending and a behind the scenes featurette.

In the circular world of U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, you have to go further right to get to the left. "I recently joked that today, in the U.S. Senate, on foreign policy, if you go far enough to the right, you wind up on the left," the Florida Republican said in a widely publicized speech on foreign policy to the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. on April 25.
The State Department held a classified briefing for members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on April 26 regarding the administration's handling of the reported attempt in February by a high level Chinese official to defect to the United States. As reported here previously, Wang Lijun, the famous "crime fighter" and chief of police for Chonqing City (where he was also vice mayor) made a dramatic, secret visit to the United States Consulate General in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, provoking a major armed standoff between police and military forces representing Chonqing, who had been sent to capture him, and forces from Sichuan, who were ordered to take Wang into custody and stop the Chonqing police from arresting him.

Analysts and commentators across the alternative media expressed alarm about the controversial announcement, likening it to a scene out of the movie Red Dawn or the predictions made by the late radio host Bill Cooper. It was not immediately clear exactly why the Obama administration decided to allow the scheme.
"The Russian soldiers are here as invited guests of the U.S. government; this is part of a formal bilateral exchange program between the U.S. and Russia that seeks to develop transparency and promote defense reform," Cmdr.

Lawmakers Vow to Overturn New DOD Spending Cuts in Wake of Deficit Panel's Failure
- November 21, 2011
- comments:0
Some of Congress' most ardent supporters of the nation's military reiterated their pledges to reverse the automatic spending cuts slated to slash defense spending by an additional $600 billion after the congressional debt supercommittee conceded Monday that it had failed to reach agreement on a deficit reduction plan.
"We are now working on a plan to minimize the impact of the sequester on the Department of Defense and to ensure that any cuts do not leave us with a hollow military," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who also serves on the committee, said in a joint statement.
"The first responsibility of any government is to provide for the common defense; we will pursue all options to make certain that we continue to fulfill that solemn commitment," they added.
On the House side, Armed Services Chairman Howard "Buck" McKeon (R-Calif.) made a similar vow. "I will not be the Armed Services chairman who presides over crippling our military," he said in a written statement.
With divided control of Congress and the White House — at least for another year — it's not clear defense hawks wield enough power to undo the automatic cuts to the Pentagon's budget, which come on top of the $450 billion in savings already imposed on the department over the next decade as part of August's agreement to raise the debt limit.
In fact, President Obama on Monday repeated his recent warning that he would veto any effort to overturn the $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts, which would be split equally between defense and non-defense programs.
"There will be no easy off ramps on this one. We need to keep the pressure up to compromise — not turn off the pressure," Obama told the White House media. "The only way these spending cuts will not take place is if Congress gets back to work and agrees on a balanced plan to reduce the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion," he added.
Industry analysts interviewed by the Street, however, were confident that the automatic cuts in defense spending would not kick in.
"There are certainly valid reasons to be afraid, but the idea of this serious cut actually being implemented in this political climate is very limited," said Richard Aboulafia of the Teal Group.

Creative Feather Tattoos
Designs of Feather Tattoos that Look Great on Your Body…
One of the most unique tat designs that only a few people prefer to engrave on their bodies are feather tattoos. These tat designs are very meaningful and can be placed in any part of your body. Whether you opt for a lone tattoo or several tattoos of this type, they still signify different meanings such as freedom, creativity and spirituality.
You can even have tattoo designs of feathers from a variety of birds that you want. Many tat enthusiasts prefer to embed an eagle or a peacock on their skins because these birds are symmetrical and attractive. These tattoos are associated commonly with several Native American cultures, where specific kinds of birds like egret, ostrich plume, and eagle among others, were regarded as strong or holy and their feathers symbolize their descriptions.
Eagle feather tattoos are treated as sacred in the olden times, and they were usually worn by men in great power such as the elders, healers and chieftains in tribes. So, if you have this kind of tattoo in these modern times, it can be interpreted as strong leadership and the ability to uphold power among men. Below you'll find some of the feather tat designs that you can choose from to engrave on your skin.
You can select a very simple design of a feather or a complicated one along with other options according to your desire. You can make a style in your own way, and create Celtic tat designs or shaded feathers out of them. Having a simple feather drawn with a lion or a fox on the side can result into an attractive tat design at the back of your ear since it's just a tiny design but visible enough to attract attention.
One beautiful way to have your feather tattoos embedded is having a cross along with 2 feathers of an eagle drawn on each side that signify spirituality in a natural way. If your roots are from Native American culture, or you are a fan of it, you can have this tattoo for yourself with the face of a chieftain sporting a traditional hat made of feathers on his head.
You also have the option to select a peacock feather tat design printed with attractive colors like green and blue. If you combine these tattoos with other patterns such as simple circle designs, beads, birds, hearts or flowers, there's no doubt that you can create a unique feather tattoos design. Since feathers are the absolute distinguishing mark of a bird, then, each kind of bird can be identified according to its feathers.
So, if you get a peacock tattoo with its feathers engraved at your back or arm, they can be one of the best tattoos that you would ever have. These tat designs are a great choice for those planning to have a tattoo etched on their skin for the first time, and prefer ones that are unique in design. One great option of feather tattoos that are eye-catching is to have a phoenix drawn on your arm or at your back.

Golden State Warriors power forward David Lee is one of the most significant factors behind the Warriors incredible turnaround. Last season, Golden State made the playoffs for the first time since 2007, upsetting the Nuggets in the first round. This year, the Warriors are 4-1, while standing as one of the premiere teams in the Western Conference.
The above iFolloSports.com original video shows Lee signing autographs for a group of fans, prior to Wednesday night's contest in Minnesota against the Timberwolves. This scene took place outside the Graves 601 Hotel, situated across the street from Target Center. The Warriors would later defeat the Timberwolves 106-93. In the win, Lee posted 22 points and 15 rebounds.
Making time for fans is nothing new for the Florida alum. Below are two more iFolloSports.com original stories chronicling Lee's generosity.
This photo shows Lee signing autographs, while this video also demonstrates the big man signing his signature, for an extended period. Both scenes took place in the very same Minneapolis location.
Lee continually comes off as one of the better guys in the NBA.

Own Your Own Media Channel
In the modern marketing era, your buyer will move through the evaluation process as much as 90% on her own before she is willing to have a sales conversation. She wants to be engaged through relevant and compelling content. Therefore, you need to become a media company….Some B2B brands might not agree with this statement. Let those non-believers be your competitors, while you build a thriving media property that accelerates your growth.
A media channel is a destination for your audience where they can consume content provided by your brand that informs, educates or entertains in a relevant way that shines the spotlight on your brand as the source of compelling content.

Tool Time: Cory Arcangel at The Whitney
I think of my work mostly as being the actual ongoing practice, by which certain subjects and questions are explored through different research/projects and sometimes outputted as individual artworks, texts, performances, etc. I like to use video production as an analogy; the research is the filming and gathering of source material, which gets imported into the "project bin" in the editing program. This is the information bank, where all the content media is added and saved. The "timeline" is where the work is taking place and where the content can be experimented with, juxtaposed in layers, manipulated, edited. Sections of the "sequence" are eventually rendered out in different sizes, resolutions, and file formats, depending on the aim, situation, or context. The point is that the work is continuous, and one project can potentially generate many different little "pieces" of a larger pie. This way, even if the projects are super slow and long term, the manifestations can develop continuously (more as a conversation, versus as a single exhaustive proclamation). In recent years, I've also been experimenting with letting aspects of the research and my work methods be made visible within these manifestations.

NORMAN — Save for an unexpected twist, Oklahoma will return an entire full-time football coaching staff intact next season for the first time since 2009.
OU football: Mike Stoops says coaching staff is one of Sooners' strongest in a while
And based on defensive coordinator Mike Stoops' remarks on national signing day, that's a great thing for the Sooners.
"This is the strongest staff we've had in a while," Stoops said. "These guys have done a great job. Everybody comes together. Everybody just helps one another, and that's been key to our success here in the last month.
"Just in the last year, we've changed the whole vibe of Oklahoma football."
Over the past two offseasons, Sooners coach Bob Stoops has replaced five assistant coaches. Former defensive coordinator Brent Venables took the same position at Clemson, and Willie Martinez, James Patton, Jackie Shipp and Bruce Kittle were all let go.
Bob Stoops has never publicly called those four changes what they were — firings — an obvious sign of how difficult those decisions were for him.
Still, the coaches Stoops hired to replace them have proved exemplary, both on the field and the recruiting trail.
"Sometimes change is part of it," Mike Stoops said. "We've changed four coaches in the last two years. We've added … three new quality control coaches, a couple new GAs."
Offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery and tight ends coach/special teams coordinator Jay Boulware all were impressive during their first season in Norman, each dealing with their own depth issues about as well as they could have.

Academic Program and Course Development
The Academic Program and Course Development webpage provides University of Michigan-Dearborn faculty with information and resources in developing, modifying, and closing majors, concentrations, certificates, minors, and courses.
Overview of Academic Program and Course Development Approval Process
(Undergraduate and Graduate)
Approval for all new and modified undergraduate and graduate majors, concentrations, certificates, minors, and courses begins at the discipline/program level. Normally, one or more faculty will draft a program or course proposal to be considered by their discipline/program colleagues which if approved needs to be sent to the department executive committee for consideration. Once approved by the department executive committee, the program or course proposal should be forwarded to the college curriculum committee which approves all course proposals. For program proposes, the college curriculum committee only makes a recommendation to the college executive committee. The authority to make academic program decisions ultimately rests with the executive committee for each college.
The next step in the approval process is for the University Curriculum and Degree Committee (UCDC) to consider all undergraduate program or course proposals. Graduate program or course proposals need to be sent to the Graduate Subcommittee of UCDC and, when appropriate, to the Rackham Graduate Board, for endorsement. The Provost makes the final decision to approve all program and course proposals but only will do so if the UCDCs or the Graduate Subcommittees support is documented.
Once approved by the Provost course proposals shall be sent to the Registrars Office for administrative processing into Banner.
All program proposals that include the addition, modification, closing of a major, concentration, or minor must be sent to the Presidents Council and Board of Regents. Only after the Board of Regents meets and approves the program proposal will the Provost Office send the proposal to the Registrars Office for administrative processing into Banner. Finally, new certificate proposals do not need to go to Presidents Council or the Board of Regents for review. However, they must be reviewed and approved by the Higher Learning Commission before being sent to the Registrars Office.
The diagram below provides an overview of the approval process along with dates that reflect the shortest amount of time it takes to process a proposal through the approval cycle. If the deadlines are not met, the proposal will rotate in to the next approval cycle.

almsgiving XVI
By Diogenes (bio - articles ) | Sep 11, 2004
Duquesne University president Charles Dougherty isn't the only Duke who has manifested eleemosynary delectation in the thought of a Kerry presidency. Patricia Dunham, associate professor of political science, gave $250 to the Kerry campaign on March 12. As if on cue, William Presutti, associate dean of the graduate school of business, did the same the very next day. Margaret Krasik, associate professor of law, has also given $850 to the candidate from Massachusetts.
A reprise: A Long Island chancery official and a Chicago seminary professor have donated to Hillary and the Democratic National Committee respectively; out west, a San Jose chancery official and Archbishop Levada's Catholic Charities director have directed their alms to Kerry (the latter to the tune of $25,000). Two bishops donated to a pro-life congressman, while an archbishop, 3 college presidents, a cathedral rector (Maronite), a vicar general (Atlanta), and a vocation director (Nashville) have cooperated materially in the culture of death.
An appeal from our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Mirus:
Dear reader: If you found the information on this page helpful in your pursuit of a better Catholic life, please support our work with a donation. Your donation will help us reach seven million Truth-seeking readers worldwide this year. Thank you!

Thank you Diogenes. There is almost no line to be crossed when it comes to fighting abortion. Forty million innocent babies have died and we have Cardinals, Bishops, Priests and religious donating to the culture of death. At a dinner I recently attended, another layman and I were the only 2 people out of 8 at the table to be on the side of pro life candidates. P. S . The other eight were 6 priests and 2 brothers. God help us!

MiniD: I enjoy your posts. I think when it is no longer necessary. When the public forum is such that bishops and other material cooperators no longer feel that they can support abortion and call themselves Catholic, Diogenes and his hermanos will have done their job. But even then, there will be the job of maintenance.

Diogenes - these postings are great! They remind me of those billboard campaigns where the names of prostitutes' "customers" are listed for all the world to see. But enlighten me (cause I don't know where to draw the line) - when does this tactic cross the line and fall under the sin of detraction?


text:
Following the start of the Korean War in June 1950, the defense budget had nearly quadrupled by 1953, a fact that greatly troubled President Eisenhower. Working with his treasury secretary, George Humphrey, and his director of the Bureau of the Budget, Joseph Dodge, the president proposed a policy of fiscal conservatism that would help balance the budget and allow the nation to wage the Cold War without risking its economic well-being.
The need for a new defense posture was highlighted further when the policymaking apparatus of the Eisenhower administration ground to a halt as its leading protagonists were racked by indecision in the wake of Soviet leader Josef Stalin's death in March 1953 and the East German uprising in June of the same year. Leading members of the NSC argued over how best to exploit these situations and whether or not the United States should seize the initiative and attempt to roll back communism. In May 1953, Eisenhower launched Operation solarium, which established three task forces to study and debate the future of American military policy. Task Force A was headed by George Kennan and advocated a scenario loosely based on the containment policy already in place; Task Force B, led by Major General James McCormack, proposed a more muscular type of containment that would emphasize nuclear deterrence; and Task Force C, headed by Admiral Richard L. Conolly, examined the potential of a policy that would liberate Eastern Europe by rolling back communism. By July 1953 all three task forces had reported their findings to the NSC, although they were unable to reach consensus on the preferred course of action. Ultimately, the approach chosen would borrow from all three recommendations.
Discounting the 1950 NSC-68 policy document that presumed 1954 would be the "year of maximum danger," NSC 162/2 instead outlined a plan that would see the United States prepare for a long-haul struggle. The document called for greater use of covert operations and psychological warfare, an increase in aid to European and Asian allies, and a readiness to use nuclear weapons as a first response to any Soviet aggressive action, be it conventional or nuclear. At the same time, the New Look would decrease reliance on conventional forces, which, it was hoped, would bring down defense expenditures. The document was eventually initialed by Eisenhower on 30 October 1953. The policy was soon put into place, although U.S. defense budgets fell only marginally during 1954–1958 before rising once more.

More and more, Instagram is becoming a viable social channel for pharma, if used in the right way. So here are five reasons we believe pharmas should take a new look at Instagram.

CEOs are increasingly taking charge of digital strategies
Marketers who are hoping to better engage their buyers with content should consider adding curation to their content marketing strategy. In fact, research indicates that leading marketers are curating 25% of all the content that they publish.
By curating third-party content, you will:
"Start with the Why" - Here is a great infographic from the team at Curata about WHY businesses should be using content curation in their marketing strategy.
I could not a agree more, as someone who is curating and shared content for clients, it has the power to drive traffic right back to your website.
This will be very helpful for the non-profit groups with which I'm working.
There is a shift happening in the world of healthcare digital marketing. It's been happening for a while but it seems that very soon it will reach what Malcolm Gladwell refers to as the "tipping point" for healthcare marketers. The "tipping point" is defined as a point at which an issue, idea, product, etc... crosses a certain threshhold and gains significant momentum. At MD Connect, we believe this to be the case with content marketing in healthcare.
"Custom content spending on production and distribution rose to 43.9 billion, the second highest amount to be recorded."
- Publishing Executive
One of the reasons for the continued growth in the healthcare industry is that content marketing is cost-efficient. The strategy as a whole is measurable, scalable, and easy to implement. When compared to other possible marketing options, content marketing has proven to be a more acceptable form of marketing to patients. Patients desire educational resources as they search the internet to determine their condition. As more and more CMO's and CEO's start to realize this, it will only continue to tip the scale of popularity towards this marketing strategy in healthcare.
"Per dollar spent, content marketing generates 3 times as many leads as traditional marketing"
- Leaders West
While the content marketing industry as a whole is clearly on the upswing, you can be more effective if you drill down one step further. If you're looking to pinpoint the most effective area of content marketing, it's blogging. Blogging is the most effective content strategy for increasing traffic and leads to your website and one of the easiest strategies to implement. If you aren't using blogs as a healthcare marketing strategy yet, you should strongly consider adopting it quickly.
"Companies with active blogs report that they receive 97% more leads"
- Content Plus
With Google's recent algorithm updates over the past few years we've seen a major decline in what's known as "black hat" Search Engine Optimization tactics. Black hat tactics include: keyword stuffing, the use of link farms, and the creation of "spammy" blog content and comments. Google has made it impossible to cheat their algorithm and businesses have begun to realize that there are no shortcuts. Quality SEO, and in particular quality content creation, has become one of the necessary foundations of a digital marketing strategy if you want to compete in the healthcare industry.

Any B2B digital marketing strategy needs to be carefully planned taking into consideration the industry, its challenges and crucially, the overall strategy of the business.

Jamie Hartford Each year, the Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEAs) call our attention to the most innovative medical devices on the market. But beyond simply highlighting noteworthy products, the program provides a peek into trends taking hold in the medtech industry. And because the jury includes clinicians as well as designers and engineers, the MDEAs also offer clues as to what product attributes are valued by the broader healthcare system.
Nancy Crotti West Pharmaceutical Services offers its SmartDose electronic wearable injector to pharmaceutical companies. It used to be that pharmaceutical companies only got together with manufacturers of drug-delivery devices toward the end of the process. Alternatively, device makers would make and sell their wares off the shelf to pharmaceutical companies. But that isn't happening so much anymore.
As digital ways of working and technology continues to penetrate all sectors, organisations are faced with a range of strategic opportunities and threats impacting their competitive advantage..So what tools can organisations use to strategically respond to their rapidly changing competitive environment? Given the disruptive, unpredictable nature of digital it may feel like a completely new approach is required. But arguably the fundamentals of competitive strategy to identify, choose and implement strategic options to achieve differentiation and cost optimisation are still valid – the difference is how they should be applied in a digital context

The coming Wasteland 2 is designed to have a variety of characters, each of them with their own unique take on the world and with core moral principles that will affect the way they respond to the character and his party.
InXile President Matt Findley tells Rock, Paper, Shotgun that, "A guy might be more likely to give women information or more likely to give men information. This guy specifically, I think he says something inappropriate, and then raises his prices."
The team is not trying to impose a good set of values that the player must also adopt in order to get the best result from encounters.
InXile wants to make sure that players are constantly surprised by the way characters react and never have time to adapt their party of their set of skills to deal with all situations.
Wasteland 2 will get a beta in October and a launch date will be announced at the same time.

Turtle Bay, Oahu
Turtle Bay is located between Protection Point and Kuilima Point on the North Shore of the island of O'ahu in the U.S. state of Hawaii.
Geography and environment[edit]
The area which is one of the last undeveloped areas on Oʻahu is recognized for its rock formations, wild coastal beaches, threatened green sea turtles and endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal[1] habitats, whale spottings, traditional fishing areas, small local agricultural lots, Hawaiian ancestral burial grounds. About 5 miles (8.0 km) of beaches and 12 miles (19 km) of trails surround the bay.
A World War II concrete bunker stands at the tip of the bay's western point. It is located at 21°42′6″N 158°0′6″W / 21.70167°N 158.00167°WCoordinates: 21°42′6″N 158°0′6″W / 21.70167°N 158.00167°W, just north of Route 83, known as Kamehameha Highway. To the west of the point is Kawela Bay, and to the east, the former site of Kahuku Army Airfield.
The Turtle Bay Resort[2] has the North Shore's sole large hotel. The resort rests on 880 acres (3.6 km2) including the former airfield runways. Other accommodations on the resort include the beach front Villas (built in 2005) and the Kuilima Estates Condos (built in the early 1970). The resort took the "turtle bay" name officially in 1983. Previously the area was called Kuilima, and the point was Kalaeokaunu.[3]
Turtle Bay is the site of the Rainbows Break Surf spot.[4] It is also one of a number of popular spots for Kayaking on the North Shore. Turtle Bay Resort has two championship golf courses, The Arnold Palmer Course and The George Fazio Course.
Television and film[edit]
Due to its still largely unspoiled landscape, natural beauty and large waves along with its proximity to Honolulu, it is a popular area for filming.[5] Turtle Bay with its rock formations and constant rolling surf served as a backdrop for the ABC TV series Lost and Discovery Channel's Mythbusters.[6]
