The attractions of snakes seems to be a huge pull factor, and seemingly the whole world's major ophidiophillaccs (snake lovers) often accompanied by their snakes, alongside keen photographers, descend on the small medieval town of Cocullo, in the Abruzzo Majella Mountains, ready to take part in this festival which has been re-enacted in its current Christian format each year, apart from 2009.
There are three supposed origins to the Cocullo Snake Festival....In the 11th century, apparently Saint Dominic cleared the local fields which were being overrun by snakes, and as a sign of thanks, since 1392, the locals parade his statue and snakes around the streets. The second version dates to 700 B.C., locals experienced the same problems in tending to their field and Apollo ordered the village to entwine the snakes around his statue so that they would become tame and be able to farm once more. The first origin dates back some 2000 years to the Marsi who were the original inhabitants of the area who worshipped the Goddess Angizia. The goddess's official symbol was a snake and thus offering of snakes were presented to her to fend off attacks from local wolves, bears and malaria.
The festival officially begins on March 19th, when local snake catchers/charmers around Cocullo begin to catch 4 types of local harmless snakes: (Elaphe quatuorlineata) and the Aesculapian snake (Elaphe longissma) and grass snakes (Natrix natrix) and its dark green sister snake (Coluber vindfiavus). Once caught they remove the snakes fangs. (not a good idea when it comes to return them back to the wild).
Following an early morning Mass in the town's small church, local inhabitants ring a small bell using their own teeth to protect them against toothache for the following year. Local soil is blessed which afterwards is spread over the local fields to act as a form of natural pesticide. The wooden statue of Saint Domenico is then taken out of the small church and the snakes are draped around and over the statue and the statue is then paraded around the narrow lanes of ancient Cocullo.
Leading from the front are the brass bands, that ironically seem to be mostly composed of those most snake charmer-esque of instruments, the oboe and clarinets. Another mass is broadcast over loudspeakers, which, women traditionally dressed, recite and sing, followed by priests. They are followed by girls in traditional laced costumes carrying ciambelli, which are local cakes that have a texture like doughnuts and are decorated with pastel colored, by the hundreds and thousands. Saint Domenic is carried up from behind, with the snakes and their charmers following closely behind. The procession winds back down to the church where it all started, and on their arrival home, a huge fireworks display, which sounds more like cannon shots, begins its 10 minute overture.
If you like something out of the ordinary , visit Cocullo's snake festival; your next door neighbor may be stroking their snake next to you, but it gives you something to talk about as you gasp and think of a reason to decline their generous offer of holding one of their snakes, while jostling to get that ultimate photo.
Get there early, the procession begins at 12 noon and the parade lasts for an hour and a half (the problem is parking...you can end up, if you arrive late, parking your car up to a couple miles away and have to hike uphill from the depths of the Sagitarrio Valley to get back to the small town of Cocullo, severely out of breath, if you are unfit.
You may hate the huge numbers of porchetta vans and mini market stalls up to the town itself and wonder why the police don't allow people to par there, but due to the huge number of people that attend the Cocullo Snake Festival, food must be had by attendees. Local restaurants get booked out with celebrating locals, used the porchetta Panini rout.

By Martin Crutsinger
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. workers were more productive this summer than initially thought, while costing their companies less.
The Labor Department said Wednesday that productivity grew at an annual rate of 2.9 percent from July through September. That's the fastest pace in two years and higher than the initial estimate of 1.9 percent. Labor costs dropped at a rate of 1.9 percent, more than the 0.1 percent dip initially estimated.
Productivity was revised higher because economic growth was faster in the third quarter than first estimated, while hours worked were unchanged. Productivity is the amount of output per hour of work.
The report suggests companies are finding ways to squeeze more out of their existing workers. While that's a good sign for corporate profits, it can be discouraging for people who want a job.
Still, the trend in productivity has been fairly weak. It has grown only 1.7 percent compared with a year ago. That's half the average growth that companies saw in 2009 and 2010, shortly after many laid off workers to cut costs during the Great Recession. And it's below the long-run growth of 2.2 percent a year dating back to 1947.
So companies may ultimately need to hire more workers if they see only modest gains in productivity and more demand for their products.
Economists predict worker productivity will slow for the rest of this year and through 2013. Higher productivity is typical during and after a recession, they note. Companies tend to shed workers in the face of falling demand and increase output from a smaller work force. Once the economy starts to grow, demand rises and companies eventually must add workers if they want to keep up.
Steven Wood, chief economist at Insight Economists, said the decline in labor cost suggest companies are feeling little pressure to pay workers more. Over the past year, labor costs are up a tiny 0.1 percent. That compares with a 3.9 percent year-over-year gain in the first quarter of 2007, before the Great Recession triggered millions of layoffs and reduced workers' bargaining power.
The Federal Reserve closely monitors productivity and labor costs for any signs that inflation is affecting wages. Mild inflation has allowed the central bank to keep interest rates at record lows in an effort to boost economic growth and fight high unemployment.
The economy grew at a 2.7 percent annual rate in the July-September quarter. That's faster than the 2 percent rate initially estimated and nearly twice the 1.3 percent growth rate in the April-June quarter.
But many economists believe growth is slowing to below 2 percent in the current October-December quarter. That's typically no enough to spur enough hiring to rapidly lower the unemployment rate, which was 7.9 percent last month.
They cite two reasons for the deceleration: Superstorm Sandy disrupted business activity in late October and early November in 24 states. And many consumers and business may be more cautious about spending because of the "fiscal cliff." That's the name for automatic tax increases and spending cuts that are scheduled to take effect in January, unless President Barack Obama and Congress reach a deal before then to avert them.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake like to refer to Rio Tinto Stadium as their "fortress." Now with an MLS-record 23-game home unbeaten streak to their name after Saturday's 1-0 win vs. Chicago, RSL's assessment of their home field certainly seems fitting.
"It's really cool," Kreis said after the match, referring to his club achieving the streak. "We put a lot of emphasis on it. We haven't shied away from how important it is to us as a club. Now we need to, at least for a few minutes, celebrate it."
The last loss for RSL came on May 16, 2009, when they were shut out 2-0 by visiting Kansas City. It's Real Salt Lake doing the shutting out of late, with Nick Rimando registering the team's 13th clean sheet of the season against Chicago without facing a single shot on goal.
"That's my best game – if I don't have to touch the ball, and we stay organized," the veteran 'keeper said. "We've had multiple of those games this year, where our defenders in front of us do so much work and I get the credit."
Real Salt Lake are now up to 532 consecutive shutout minutes, second this season only to the 567-minute stretch also set by RSL earlier in the year.
Despite the record-setting performance, Kreis was not completely happy with his team's showing, which he viewed as largely lackluster.
"I'm satisfied with the shutout, and I'm real satisfied with the result," Kreis said. "The energy level was extremely low today and I think there are a lot of reasons why, that I understand, and can agree with, and accept. But I want better."
"It just felt like our energy level was bad from the start," said RSL midfielder Ned Grabavoy. "It wasn't our best day, for sure."
Grabavoy, who Kreis asked to fill in the No. 10 role for the suspended Javier Morales, was a key figure on the turning point of the game that led to the only goal of the match. His run into the box was interrupted by a tug from Chicago defender Wilman Conde, who was already on a yellow card. The double-whammy of an ejection and a penalty kick left its mark on the match.
"I was going to hit it first time, but I just felt him tug me down," said Grabavoy of the challenge he received in the box. "I didn't try to go down, I was forced to go down. I was pretty surprised that he [Conde] chose to take me down, because I didn't think I had a good angle."
The foul on Grabavoy led to the penaly kick converted by Alvaro Saborio, which proved the only goal the defending champions needed on the record-setting night.

Propane is sometimes referred to as liquefied petroleum gas, LP gas, or LPG. It is produced from either natural gas processing or crude oil refining. About 90 percent of our propane is produced in America, making it a stable, domestic energy source. It is nontoxic, colorless and virtually odorless – but, for your protection, odor is added so it can be easily detected when necessary. The chemical odorant that is added is called ethyl mercaptan, which has a strong smell similar to rotten eggs.
Propane is an environmentally responsible fuel. It is much cleaner than home heating oil, kerosene, or electricity. It is also up to 99 percent efficient. Coal-burning, electric power plants emit twice as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as propane, at a 28 percent efficiency rate. Propane is a valuable alternative to electricity and significantly reduces emission of greenhouse gases.
Compact and easy to transport, Blossman propane is delivered to the most remote areas of a community, as well as local neighborhoods that don't have access to natural gas.
If you think you smell propane in your home, RV or the area around any gas equipment; or if a gas alarm signals the presence of propane, you should do the following:
An odorant is purposely put into the tank to help easily detect leaks or broken pipes. Safety is our #1 priority.
Even if you do not continue to smell propane, do not turn on the supply valve until a qualified Blossman service technician or emergency personnel tests for escaped propane. NEVER test for propane using an open flame. Only suitable leak detection devices should be used. Your Blossman service technician will check all of your appliances and re-light any gas pilots when the leak situation has been fixed.
After the flood or hurricane has passed, look for any signs of structural damage.
Call your Blossman service technician if:
Good question! Using charcoal is often cumbersome, time-consuming and produces ashes that must be disposed of. Grilling with propane is clean and easy – you get that delicious grilled flavor without the hassle. Gas grills can also connect to a direct line so you never have to refill your portable tank.

2010 Was Definitely a Rays "Kumba" Moment
Common.Wikepedia.com Photo files
It has been my custom over the last few years to attach a word, phrase, or commonplace item as a keynote to what the ending year has envisioned to me. This year I am again incorporating my yearly ride with the Tampa Bay Rays by my side into this year end resolution. 2010 was a spectacular 365 day odyssey that somehow closely resembles the Kumba multi-inversion rollercoaster located just 25 miles from my front door within the oddly placed fauna of Busch Gardens in the urban jungle of Tampa Florida.
It really has been that kind of wham, bam thank you Ma'am year for Tampa Bay. One that has taken all of us, including the Rays, on moments of Mt Kilimanjaro-type highs, to the unexpected desolate lows of Death Valley, California while we all scream incisively through the zero G rolls and inverted loops to bear witness of the year's gut wrenching end result. Hearing the collective loud thumping cadence of our heartbeats within this 32-passenger rail car as the rollercoaster finally finishes off as an unfocused blur.
The 2010 ride started out so serene and calm as we welcomed back 1B/3B Dan Johnson after a short Japanese baseball trek and saw the Rays signed their first European prospect LHP Stepan Havlicek (no relation to the Celtic legend). The impending illusion of a smooth and possibly uneventful ride seemed ease our minds as our car first left the ride station.
We became entranced and hypnotized by the soothing clicking sound of the car as another tremendous Rays Fan Fest came and went where we sadly got to see local Rays resident and Baseball Hall of Famer Robin Roberts for one last time. We all marveled at the Rays Jumbotron at Fan Fest watching the antics of Rays Radioman Rich Herrera and legendary eater Joey Chestnut boast about their hotdog eating skills while systematically standing in line to pursue the autographs of our Rays heroes.
All the while the clicking of track kept us somehow distracted, and played into the final menagerie of peril that was to soon take our breath away. The March signing of RP Joaquin Benoit to a minor league deal made us all giddy with anticipation and hopes of new found glory for Benoit. Suddenly our car took an unexpected 90 degree left turn out of our comfort zone when this Spring we saw LHP J P Howell suffer a bout of shoulder soreness that would start him on his own unanticipated rollercoaster ride during 2010.
With Howell's injury only thought to keep him out until May, we began our 143-foot lift hill that would eventually send us rapidly screaming at full G force through the highs and lows of the 2010 season. After an incredible Grapefruit season where the Rays finally saw the emerging stars of SS Reid Brignac and 2B/utility man Sean Rodriguez shine bright, our car quickly headed into the Kumba's signature pre-drop element.
Quickly the Rays season began to take a few twists and turns brought on by a sudden 135-foot drop to our left with the early season struggles of Designated Hitter Pat Burrell and escalated into a 114-foot vertical loop that intensely thrilled us as the team got out to a late April record of 17-5 before the Rays encountered their first diving loop and subsequent first extreme low point of the season.
It all started as the ride entered its initial diving loop segment with the team firmly clutching their pink bats and uniform ribbons when on Mother's Day (May 9,2010) their coaster ride entered its first Zero-G roll brought on by the Perfect Game thrown by Oakland A's LHP Dallas Braden that put lumps in our throats and stole our breath from us. But this was only the Rays first venture into a systematic tail spin as more unexpected plots twists were creeping our the horizon for the Rays.
The team then seemed to hit a rough patch as they spent a short spell on a smooth stretch of track before finally entering a much feared Cobra roll on June 25,2010 that saw former Rays RHP Edwin Jackson toss a No-Hitter against the Rays in the comfy confines of Tropicana Field. The result sent us again flipping upside down for the second time this season before we were able to enter a mid-course brake run at the All Star break . It was then that we saw Rays starter David Price become the first Rays pitcher to ever start an All Star game. At the midway point of our coaster ride the Rays end the first half with the Major League's second best record (54-34) trailing only our division rivals, the New York Yankees.
Just as the ride was beginning to obtain some sort of normalcy, the Rays and the coaster again began a accelerating fall off the brake run through a series of interlocking corkscrew twists that heightened with a renewed Rays excitement by a No-Hitter tossed at Tropicana Field by Rays starter Matt Garza, and accented by the Grand Slam of another Matt (Joyce) to put the game finally out of reach and into the Rays record books.
Gut twisting and wrenching wins then somehow became the norm as the Rays unexpectedly ran into a 5-game losing streak (their only losing streak above 3 games in '10) at the entry point of their first corkscrew twist. During this negative twist of misfortune during back-to-back Rays versus Blue Jays games from August 7-8th that saw normally secure starter James Shields surrender 6 Home Runs one day, then saw the Rays have to rely on Evan Longoria hitting a dying quail single through the 1B-2B hole with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning to stave the Rays from becoming the first team to have 3 No-hitter thrown against them within a years' time.
As Rays Kumba car entered the darkened tunnel after their latest close encounter in Toronto, the Rays again got back on the winning track and eventually approached the end of the season with a playoff berth in their grasp, and a possible American League East title just beyond their fingertips. As the ride entered its final braking run, the Rays faced a 1 game ultimate gut check presented to them to possibly secure another AL East banner for the rafters of Tropicana Field.
In classic rollercoaster form, the Rays took their final game of 2010 against the Kansas City Royals in extra innings and added to the climax and crescendo of that last right hand turn by being greeted by multitudes of Fans at St. Petersburg/Clearwater Airport upon their arrival again in Tampa Bay before the ride began is last motions towards a ultimate disembark at the rail station.
Their quick exit in the ALDS just showed how accelerated their post season ride in 2010 could be extinguished. Lost in the final equation were a few special Rays moments that only further illustrated just how exciting and thrilling 2010 was for the Rays.
The 2010 Rays team ended up with 96 wins that season, only one "W" away from eclipsing their club win mark set in 2008. It was amazing for a Rays team that many baseball prognosticators did not even envision even a playoff berth for the squad back in April. We saw the maturation and confident emergence of a Rays starting 5 rotation that missed a team goal of 1,000+ inning season by its 5 starters by less than 46-odd innings. Then saw Longoria pick up his second consecutive Gold Glove while Carl Crawford finally got the Golden Glove that has eluded him.
Even with all the eventual ups and down, in and outs of their 2010 season, the Rays sent all of us on a cascading water flume ride of unexpected emotions and thrills as the team finally exit the railcars for the last time in 2010. We then had to say goodbye to 9 Free Agents, almost as many non-tender arbitration eligible Rays as the team began their foundational framework for another future glorious coaster ride.
Not knowing if it was a bead of cooling sweat from the fearsome ride, or a trickle of an unexpected tear set in motion by the thoughts of losing Rays stalwarts like Carlos Pena, Crawford, Benoit, Randy Choate, Dan Wheeler, Rafael Soriano and Grant Balfour. I am stricken with a unforeseen bout of silence as I might have been witness to the last ride of a 4-year journey that started in 2007, and will end at the stroke of midnight tonight. I had been an up-close and personal participant in the formulation of a winning culture by the Rays in our short existence. I want to stand in line again for another chance at having my breath taken away on another future glorious trip.
At midnight the clicking of Kumba will be heard in the background as I wander towards another Rays odyssey. The rise and fall of this franchise definitely mimics the twists and turns of a well maintained rollercoaster that is always pushing the limits of both gravity and the breaking points of humanity before tumbling down towards a sense of reality.
Thank you Rays for this years journey. Thank you for the "firsts", the "lasts" and the 81 straight tickets to ride as I took my seat in Tropicana Field this year and each time It left me simply breathless and aching for more. Some call this season the end of a Rays era, I think it is the beginning of a tradition of celebrating the "Rays Way" and buckling every New Years Eve for another ride of our collective Rays lives. Now where is that SheiKra coaster located again?

I think the 2010 season – and the year in general – was a Kumba ride for all of us! Here's to a healthy, happy and prosperous 2011. Have fun tonight!
I can have fun in a room with just a lousy baseball. As ,ong as I have wall to throw it against…I am in easy picking's heaven.
I will be (slightly) good tonight and try and behave myself, but this end of the decade I do not have to worry about a Y2K virus popping up and ruining my online time.
Still think "Empire State of Mind" should be on your NYE Karaoke playlist…..See you in the '1…1.

Kumba! Sounds like a fantastic mixed drink! Nice recap and metaphor for the year. I always look forward to checkin' in on the Renegade… let's keep 'er goin' in 2011!
That was a great reference :O)
Have a Happy New Year, Cliff!
Love the gas tank, I'm assuming the 'hog' is a Harley?
Reading the journey of the Kumba, it's almost like spring is here….
Have a safe and Happy New Year Cliff, :-)
Phillies Outside
I never thought of that. Maybe I will tests my mixologist friends tonight to concoct a "Kumba" cocktail just before midnight. Hopefully it will not be so full of alcoholic goodness I can not dial the cab tonight.
That is right, I let the cab drivers get the tickets, accidents and worry about the other drivers……Better safe than sorry…and also cheaper in the morning,

Wanted to do something different than the normal 1-10 countdown of great moments.
Was thinking tomorrow after the hangover remedy and the Outback Bowl I might do a photo blog of my favorite non-concert photos I took in 2010.
I am not a professional photog by any measure of the word, but I am learning a bit more with every game and every live action shot. Maybe by 2014 I will be good enough to have a photocredit some day…maybe.

Nice post, but honestly I think you forgot to mention one of the bigger stories as a Rays fan for me: The emergence of John Jaso.
I really hope he can build off this rookie experience and doesn't end up like Dioner Navarro.
The gas tank is actually showcasing the great brush design on the Harley Bavidson motorcycle given to Matt Garza in SEptember to symbolize his No-Hitter. It was an incredible cycle that also had every member of the Rays game day staff and roster autographed in silver sharpie along the fender, tank and oil tank cover.
It was a really remarkable job, and will be showcased somewhere in Graza's off season home in California.

Anytime you love a team you wear you emotions on your sleeve. I'm glad to hear people get so passionate about teams.
Reading your first comments, hopefully you had fun with more than just a baseball and a wall last night. No New Year's Eve celebrations in the cooler, LOL. What an apt and enjoyable way to sum up the Ray's season. At the end of it all, even though the Rays didn't have the post season you wanted them to have, I imagine you still exited your rollercoaster thinking that it was one heck of a good ride.
Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best in 2011!
– Kristen
I actually think John Jaso is going to have a better year in 2011, but Jaso showed the potential the Rays always saw from his bat tranform him inot an everyday catcher with in his play behind the plate.
He is one of my bright star picks for 2011. I have a firm supporter of Jaso. From the Math brilliance to the old school rock roots, the guy is a lunchpail type of ballplayer who jst wants to leave it all out on that turf for every single game.
Look for Nevin Ashley to possibly make noise this Spring and be a possible ket element after July 31st in 2011.
Rays Renegade
Hot Tub,
I can tell you that anyone within the range of mky voice, or who has read my stuff for a period of time knows my teams in each sport, and who I consider great or horrendous.
Passion is one of the tools sports taught me early on, and my passion for sports and especially baseball has only grown larger since that first combustive moment.
A fan without passion is a fan who has not put his arms around the sport and embraced it for all its worth.
My arms do not totally encompass baseball yet, but the fingertips get closer every season.
Rays Renegade
I actually had too good of a time this New Years Eve. I went to a place I have gone for the last 25 years to celebrate with some people I think know me better than my family.
This post really was fun constructing. And the year really did seem to develop into a interesting ans thrilling coaster ride. But as always, when the ride is over you want more, and unfortunately we ran into a developing squad that just had Lady Luck on it side.
Rays Renegade
Cabbin' it is the only way to go… I believe that… I mean, it's hard to drive when you can't even stand up.
Toronto pitcher Jesse Litsch was talking about Yellow Cab did not get him for an hour and a half on New Years night.
That is why I pick bars near places like Hess Express or 7-11 where they gave away FREE coffee…Cabbie were there all night long. I got home 10 minutes after I left the tavern….Priceless!

What you read on your various e-readers is being tracked and stored, according to this Wall Street Journal article. Meaning…Amazon & Barnes and Noble's know which passages of Shades of Gray you've read over and over again, they know how long it takes you to finish a book, how long it takes you to start reading once you purchase/download a title, and more. I highly encourage you to read the rest of the article to learn about the privacy and legal implications that this type of data-tracking can lead to.
Now, e-books are providing a glimpse into the story behind the sales figures, revealing not only how many people buy particular books, but how intensely they read them.
Barnes and Noble's confirmed some interesting reading habits from its users:
Barnes & Noble has determined, through analyzing Nook data, that nonfiction books tend to be read in fits and starts, while novels are generally read straight through, and that nonfiction books, particularly long ones, tend to get dropped earlier. Science-fiction, romance and crime-fiction fans often read more books more quickly than readers of literary fiction do, and finish most of the books they start. Readers of literary fiction quit books more often and tend skip around between books.
I can definitely understand the appeal of e-readers, especially when going on vacation and not wanting to pack those 10 hardcover titles you've been meaning to read. I tried the Kindle, but it didn't feel the same. Plus, my eyesight isn't really in the greatest of shape, and reading that intently from an illuminated screen did not but just tire me out. If you use an e-reader, what it your take on the information that the publishers and vendors are collecting? How do you think it will effect publishing in general? The articles mentions that publishers might depart from the more creative manuscripts in favor of the mainstream crowd-pleaser. That I would hate to see. A world of Twilights everywhere you go. *shudder*

Flash: Suspicious Package Shuts Down Shattuck in Berkeley
A busy thoroughfare in downtown Berkeley has been shut down and some businesses evacuated this afternoon as a bomb squad investigates a suspicious package, a police spokeswoman said.
The package was discovered shortly before noon on the east side of Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley police Officer Jennifer Coats said.
Shattuck Avenue has been shut down between Bancroft and Durant avenues, and some buildings on the east side of the street have been evacuated, she said.
Occupants of other homes and businesses in the area have been told to shelter in place.
The Police Department's bomb squad has been called in.
"They've responded and are on scene preparing to investigate," Coats said at about 2:30 p.m.
She said she did not yet know when the street would be reopened.

There is no set criterion for a great dive bar. A dingy bar can have character. An unassuming exterior could hide a spectacular interior. Sometimes, the right jukebox is all it takes.
But all great dives are unified by one factor: They possess an instantly comfortable atmosphere. That can come from a warm bartender, cheap drinks or an overall lack of pretension. The really good ones have it all.
Coach's Rendezvous (which was called Rendezvous Lounge before new owner Ray Harcum took over) made a case to be called a great dive bar on a recent Thursday night, thanks to the hospitality, good-natured banter and general positive vibes coming from Harcum and his patrons. Out of the 10 or so patrons there, three said they had known Harcum since he was 7. Others acted similarly.
Not all dives require themes, but Coach's has a unique one for Charles Village: It's a lacrosse-themed bar, and a proud one at that. Harcum and his buddies are local high school lacrosse coaches, and their passion for the game goes beyond the jerseys, helmets and sticks adorning the dimly lit space.
They constantly announced updated playoff scores, debated hypothetical match-ups and reminisced about their playing days. A new friend next to us pointed to an old team photo down the bar as a wide smile ran across his face. We may have walked in as strangers, but within five minutes of sitting down, we were laughing and sharing stories with these old friends.
The jovial setting made it easy to forgive the bar's shortcomings, but not ignore them. Only two lights worked in the bar, making the room so dark that it was difficult to decipher the theme at first. There were five standard beer taps (Yuengling, Sierra Nevada to name a couple) but it wasn't clear that they worked. We ordered Natty Bohs ($2), and while there appeared to be Boh tap, our beers came as cans poured in pint glasses. The beer list is reasonably priced (the most expensive and exotic beer was a $6 Fat Tire), as are the mixed drinks ($3 for rails, $7 for top-shelf).
Another sign of a strong dive bar is its ability to make a customer overlook its shortcomings, and Coach's Rendezvous excels in that sense. There was no singular attribute as to why the bar succeeds, but rather a combination of things: Harcum's big laugh and easygoing personality, a true passion for lacrosse, his friends becoming our friends with ease, the old Dell desktop behind the bar playing Nirvana's "Nevermind" in its entirety. It all added to the experience.
Everyone in the bar shared another experience that night: The 2013 NFL Draft. There were audible gasps when Miami traded up to select Dion Jordan, and when Philadelphia was on the clock, Harcum, a life-long Eagles fan, handed out free beers to the two Eagles fans in my group. Somehow, a bar with more lacrosse memorabilia than Ravens gear (although there was some of the latter, too) made a great place to watch a football draft.
Right before we left, St. Louis traded up for Dunbar High alum Tavon Austin, a speedy wide receiver. A couple seats down, a man who had been yelling Austin's name all night sat enthralled with the flat screen TV above the bar. He said he was one of Austin's coaches at Dunbar. When commissioner Roger Goodell said Austin's name, the man and the rest of the bar exploded with cheers, as smart phones were frantically pulled from pockets. At Coach's Rendezvous, the sport of choice may be lacrosse, but it's a Baltimore bar first.
Coach's Rendezvous
Back story: Previously Rendezvous Lounge, the Coach's Rendezvous is now a lacrosse-themed bar, which makes sense — owner Ray Harcum played for Forest Park and now coaches in the city. It was a dive before Harcum, and it remains a dive now, which fits the laid back vibe.
Parking: Metered and free on surrounding streets.
Signature drink: No need to be fancy here, especially when a Natty Boh can is only $2.

SHENANDOAH - Luck just seemed to be on the side of a Shenandoah couple when they scratched off five winning lottery tickets Dec. 5, the last one being worth $1 million.
"I nearly had a heart attack," Daniel Hartnett, 25, said Tuesday during a phone interview. "I really couldn't believe it."
Hartnett and his fiancee, Leandra Edmondson, 26, bought their first ticket that day while picking up a birthday cake for a relative at Redner's Warehouse Markets, Shenandoah. On the way home, the couple decided to use the money they won on another ticket from Valero gas station, South Main Street, Shenandoah. Winning yet again from the Valero ticket, the couple bought two more winners, with the $1 million winner coming from the "Diamond Million" game.
"I always scratch off the first and third lines and she scratches off the second and fourth," Hartnett said. "As soon as I scratched off the third line, I knew that it was a winner. I checked the ticket six times."
Hartnett said that he and his fiancee usually buy three or four lottery tickets a week.
"We just enjoy playing tickets. It's fun," Hartnett said. "We play whenever we have the extra money."
Hartnett said they plan on buying a new car, maybe a new house and a four-wheeler, and starting a trust fund for their 14-month-old son, Chase.
Hartnett said he recently became unemployed after working at a convenience store.
"I'm still trying to find work but right now, I'm just looking forward to spending time with my boy," Hartnett said. "It's something that I didn't have much time to do in his first year."
The couple claimed the ticket at the Pennsylvania Lottery office in Harrisburg on Dec. 9.

I don't really think of myself as a metiche but I find the conversations of strangers interesting, and at times amusing. As a writer, I consider it my work – yes! Puro trabajo! – to tune into what others are saying around me. It gives me a feel for the rhythm of dialogue, it even inspires story ideas…and sometimes, it's just funny. Here are a few of the conversations I've overheard lately. (If you heard one that made you smile this past week, share it in comments!)
Location: In front of a food vendor stand at a Latino Festival
Anglo man, about 50 years old: {pointing to an elote loco} What kind of flavor does that have? Is it spicy?
Latina girl, about 8 years old: No, its sweet.
Anglo man: What do you call it?
Girl: Corn.
Location: 11th Street NW, Washington DC.
Middle-aged woman with heavy New York accent to young hunky bicycle cop: Oh, I've seen you around before. In fact, every time I seen you, I've said to myself, now there goes a healthy lookin' man. Very healthy looking you are.
Location: DC METRO Redline to Shady Grove
College kid #1: Dude, I forgot to tell you, in Boston there's no such thing as Happy Hour.
College kid #2: What? No way.
College kid #1: Seriously, it's illegal to change the price of an alcoholic drink during different times of the day there.
College kid #2: Jesus Christ.
College kid #1: I know, man.
Location: Coffee shop in Northwest DC
Woman to little boy: Please, Conrad, calm down.
{kid screams}
Woman: Please?
{kid screams and stamps his foot}
Woman: {sigh}
Location: A WalMart in northern Virginia
Anglo woman to Latino husband: Oh, we need more fideos.
Latino husband: What?
Anglo woman: We need more fideos.
Latino husband: Huh?
Anglo woman: FIDEOS! … Those! There! {pointing}
Latino husband: Which one?
Anglo woman: {grabs packet off the shelf} The soup with fideos – NOODLES!
Latino husband: Oh… noodles.

Has the time come for you to get out of the dorm and move into an off campus YTC apartment? Perhaps the options available from the York Technical College housing office no longer meet your needs and you would like to find a cheap apartment close to the YTC campus. If so, you can search for off campus York Technical College apartments with MyNewPlace's college housing search.
Although York Technical College student housing may be very conveniently close to campus, moving to an off campus apartment can be a great way to save money, put some distance in between yourself and an RA, get accustomed to living in your own apartment and building up rental history.
YTC apartments for rent are available close to campus and in other neighborhoods around Rock Hill, South Carolina. Using our map based university apartment finder, you can find off campus housing near campus to ensure you can still get to all the YTC games and make it to class on time.
We can help you find off campus YTC apartments that will best suit your collegiate lifestyle; search York Technical College apartments by the number of bedrooms, price, neighborhood or a range of other amenities.

...preeetty much sums up what the Winthrop Eagles are all about. "Big Man on Campus" is a male beauty pageant held to raise money for the speech and hearing impaired. So pack your mascara, boys, we're goin' to the ball. Just kidding (sort of). Big Man on Campus is one of the many events at Winthrop University, where a good time is had by all. There's also the Kappa Sigma oyster roast and a packed roster of lecturers and entertainers that come through Winthrop University. A point of pride for many lady Eagles is that they share an alma mater with Mary Gaulden Jagger, the cofounder of the National Organization for Women. Winthrop holds its own in its region as it is one of the Top 10 Public Universities in the South, according to U.S. News &World Report. It is also one of Princeton Review's picks for "Best Southeastern Colleges." If you're itchin' to see a panther, stop by Winthrop University's Coliseum, to drop in on the NFL Carolina Panthers' former training grounds.
Thanks to Winthrop University, Rock Hill, South Carolina is a residential town with a big personality. The school's quaint location in Rock Hill's College Historic District is ideal for a stroll (when you need a break from reading, that is). Some students finding housing in apartment complexes right next to campus, for ultimate convenience. Such properties are close to two other colleges, so you might make new friends from new places. Some apartments even come furnished, making the move even easier on you. If you want a little distance between you and the classroom—for peace of mind, if nothing else—browse our listings for rentals a little farther off.
The Catawba River runs alongside Rock Hill and becomes a hang out spot for students in the spring and summer months. For yearround amusement, give Carowinds amusement park a whirl. This "Thrill Capital of the Southeast" will take your breath away. Rock Hill is also only a stone's throw from Charlotte, where you can indulge any specialty interest from science to NASCAR NASCAR. My personal favorite attraction in Charlotte is Metalmorphosis. Take the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) to get around Rock Hill and from Rock Hill to Charlotte.

U.S. & World
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Earl has made landfall near Belize City, Belize, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph (130 kph).
The hurricane is centered early Thursday about 5 miles (10 kilometers) southwest of Belize City and is moving west near 14 mph (23 kph).
A hurricane warning was in place for Belize and parts of Mexico, though the storm was expected to begin weakening when it moved ashore. The hurricane center says heavy rains will be a danger in southern Mexico through Saturday as Earl crosses the Yucatan Peninsula and the states of Tabasco and Veracruz.
In Belize, the government opened storm shelters and used radio and television broadcasts to urge residents of low-lying areas to move to higher ground.

How to be a better sailor
The best thing about sailing is that there's always more to be learned. Here are some ideas to start you on your way.
Buy a boat
When you're ready for a master's course in all things sailing, it's time to think about getting a boat. When you are the skipper (and paying the bills) you alone decide when it's time to reef, or what the onboard rules are. You'll make the call on which sail to set and what course to sail. Finding a boat to sail on is no longer an issue; all you have to do is make time and throw off the docklines.
A boat doesn't have to be fancy to teach you the ropes of being a skipper. The used-boat market is full of less expensive, older boats that are safe and still sail well. They may not be as luxurious as the boat you chartered in the Caribbean, but you'll have pride of ownership and unlimited sailing opportunities.
And you don't need to know it all to be the skipper of your own boat. If you find an aspect of sailing that you're not comfortable with, seek out a class that specifically covers that skill, but keep sailing your boat in the meantime.
You'll be a better sailor every time you go out.

Why sail when you can paddle, and why paddle when you can walk? Isn't that the proverb? No? Well, it should be if you're going to pull a cool watery stunt, like Chris Todd here. He built the contraption you see above and called it the Treadalo. It's a human-sized hamster wheel fused to a catamaran hull, and is propelled by a walking human. We think the name is a play on the word "pedalo." We like pun-y names like that. And we like that he thought he could use it to walk across the 66 miles that separates Wales from Ireland. Chris believed he'd do the trek in two days and actually got halfway there before he was done in by waves that were too big for the vessel to handle. He was forced to tow the Treadalo back to Wales with a rescue boat and the thing broke on the way back. It's sad because Chris wasn't doing this just for fun: he was trying to raise money for charity. But a broken Treadalo is not failure, merely a setback. The man is already working on making a second attempt later this month.

sorry sir, pero can you elaborate? and possibly give examples of the artists using satanic symbols?
I get the point of the TS in which he stresses the importance of being wary of pastors that may be teaching doctrine that are not aligned in the truth of God. I believe that God doesn't want us to be ignorant when it comes to accepting teachings because dismissing the importance of being vigilant to teachings is just the same as being disobedient to Him. It is dangerous to accept just about every teaching without examining them beforehand, because we might be already opposing God with the result of those teachings we get to receive ignorantly.We are instructed to "test all things, hold fast to what is good" (1 Thes 5:21) and in doing this, we need wisdom that comes from God and not from our own understanding.
Turn up the sympathsizer and give me more waffle.
I totally agree with this. And I'm pretty that as the Word of God said, in these last days many will be lead into thinking that these false prophets and teachers are telling them "good things" but in reality are deceiving them. I guess it's hard to be a Christian these days
It's always been hard to be a Christian, or any kind of person with a religion or even none. These kinds of deceptions know no boundaries of religion or faith or philosophy or belief. The mores and ethos of the world constantly change, add religion to the mix and it gets even more complicated.
SLAYER paps! subscribing for reading purposes.
Yes. And also other metal bands (I love metal by the way, My early guitar influences were Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Dream Theater, and ocassionally, I still listen to them) But THEY (the secular bands) does not really concern me a lot because we Christians already know their stand or position. What concerns me most is these so called "Christian Bands and Pastors" that appears to be sheep but actually wolves on the inside. Such person God wants us to avoid.
But haven't you contradicted yourself when you say such thing as you know your stand and or position as the context of the said illuminati being questioned here bothers you right? as to what extent does let's say slayer or dimmu burgir any different from a communal pastor who you think is an illuminati? aren't they both persuading the flock to stray as away as well? Whether it is blatant or not?
What I mean position or stand...We already know that they're "of the world"...And as Christians it is already our duty to not love what is of the world. We already know that '"these bands" are not worshipping Jesus . So as Christian, It should no longer be difficult for us to be aware of them, and ofcourse as Christian we should not look up to them. The thing is, yes I listen to some of the metal songs (Dream Theater). I know that they are not Worshipping God in their music, So while I listen, I am aware that I should not patronize their lyrics (But I mostly listen to their instrumentals,)..I believe all music (all genres) are from God. So we can express our worship to God in all genres of music. The problem is if a band call themselves as "christian bands" so to deceive Christians. It is somewhat difficult for some of these Christians to descern because they were advertised as their brothers.
I'm not the TS, but he said he's not botheted with slayer (as an example) because he knows their (eg, the band's) stand/position. What he's bothered with are the, uh, wolf in sheep's clothing.TS, correct me if I'm wrongSatanic Band: Lucifer is GOOOOOD!!!! (sorry, i don't know any example)Wolf Pastor: God loves you and have a wonderful plan for you life! Pursue your dreams! When you truly believe, you will see how the universe will align itself to serve you! God's image is in you! When you really believe you'll get it, God has no choice but to bless you!!Now, TS isn't bothered with the band: an enemy you can smell afar off. They made their stand/position perfectly clear.. But the Wolf? Now that's something to watch out from.
To use the illuminati scare does more damage than good, IMO, to the Christian witness/voice. Christianity is already viewed with so much suspicion, to use this what many consider a stupid conspiracy theory solidifies the perception that we Christians haven't gotten far from the medieval, superstitious mindset.
Bro Kennyandry,Once you state things like this, there's no point defending it from those who strike your view. You'd go in circles, and you won't change anyone else's point of view.Why? For the most part many would think otherwise from what you have concluded. As I've learned online, evidences are always neutral. That is, presented with the same 'evidence,' people will conclude differently, because we are guided by our respective worldviews. Just preview the comments, you see what I mean. The evidences presented in the videos as well (can't view them--office controls) are 'exposed' by those who think illuminati exists, and are thus presented as proofs. To others who think it's crackpot conspiracy, those satanic gestures are merely that--gestures.Therein lies your second problem. To use the illuminati scare does more damage than good, IMO, to the Christian witness/voice. Christianity is already viewed with so much suspicion, to use this what many consider a stupid conspiracy theory solidifies the perception that we Christians haven't gotten far from the medieval, superstitious mindset. Remember the pastor who went on tv with the backmasking thing? He was discounted as a mere overnight fame seeker. I don't know his intentions, but his move might have greatly ruined his reputation and worse, his witness.Just state your point, and that's it. Focus more on the proper and pure testifying of the Gospel of Christ. You'd still be ridiculed and be dismissed as a fool, but at least you're faithful to the steps of the witnesses who "turned the world upside down." The Gospel is the power of God to save, not on the exposing of false teachers/messengers. You can expose, yes, but it is with the Gospel that God will change or enlighten those who are being deceived. Remember, many of the deceived desired the things that deceived them--their ears itched for it.And also, let's not forget the 'evidence' of the Gospel in our lives as well.
Once you state things like this, there's no point defending it from those who strike your view. You'd go in circles, and you won't change anyone else's point of view. - You're right bro, I am sorry if I was defending it,..If it was Jay Z or Kanya West or Metallica or Dream Theater who was talked to be illuminati,..Then that would not surprise me already because even if they were not labeled as illuminati, It is easy for me to no longer patronize because they are not of God. But If a Christian band Or Christian Pastor be labeled as illuminati or false prophets, ..Then I think it's time for us to test the spirit. That's why in the beggining of my thread,..I ask "what do you guys think"..
I just thought, what about if we flip the assumption? what if alleged illuminati bands and pastors are actually not, and their images are being tarnished? how then do we know which is which? Prayer and discernment, of course, but it will confuse people
There was a point in my christian life when I read more about Conspiracy theories than the actual Word. It didn't help me.

New Bern now has its own version of a popular television dance show.
New Bern now has its own version of a popular television dance show.
Ratio Theatre Company and its title sponsor Home Instead Senior Care will present its first fundraiser titled �Dancing with the New Bern Stars� on May 11 at the Sudan Shrine Center in New Bern.
The show is touted as a star-spangled night of dinner and dancing. It will be catered by The Flame Restaurant and will feature live dance music provided by the Starlight Dance Orchestra.
It will be capped off with a ballroom dance competition between five community celebrity star dancers: Rip Taggart, Linda Staunch, Gay Price, Nelson McDaniel and New Bern Mayor Lee Bettis.
The local stars are all well-known for their professional and community involvement.
Staunch heads Linda Staunch & Associates � PR & Marketing and is also host of �Around Town� on C-TV 10. She was instrumental in the New Bern 300th celebration.
McDaniel is a former teacher, local historian and president of the New Bern Historical Association.
Price is a stylist and owner of Tangles & Knots Studio hair salon.
Taggart is a nonprofit management consultant with RND Support. He is actively involved with a number of nonprofits, most visibly on stage with New Bern Civic Theatre and RiverTowne Players.
Bettis is often in the public eye as mayor of New Bern. He has appeared in charitable events and also had a part in Civic Theatre�s production of �1776.�
From 7 to 10 p.m., this unique event will pattern the popular ABC television show �Dancing with the Stars,� now finishing its eleventh season.
Rivertowne Ballroom has partnered with Ratio in this event to provide the choreography and training for the competitors.
The five celebrities, having little or no dance experience, have been paired with professional dance instructors for just 10 hours of dance lessons. Joyce Price, owner of Rivertowne Ballroom, said that time is, �Half as much time for an experienced dancer to prep for a competition.�
Even with the time constraints, Price said she is certain that the celebrity dancers will dazzle the audience.
The contest won�t be won on style and syncopation alone. Ratio Managing Director Andrea Owens has added a little extra competitive pressure.
�Not only will the dancers� routines be reviewed by a panel of expert judges and a local celebrity, but these fleet footed fundraisers must garner votes in the form of donations to support Ratio in order to take the top prize home,� she said.
Each dancer is stumping for votes among family, friends and strangers.
All proceeds from this flashy fundraiser will support Ratio�s efforts to provide professional theater performances and arts education for children and adults.
The public can vote for performers on the web: ratiotheatre.org
Tickets for the dinner dance and competition are $55 or a table sponsorship for eight is $450. Tickets are available at the Ratio website or at the box office, 901 Pollock St., New Bern.
The Presenting Sponsor is Elite Feet Shoe Store.
Ratio Theatre Company is a nonprofit professional theater company with its main stage shows at the Cullman Performance Hall as part of the Tryon Palace Performing Arts series.
