This car came to us from a very delightful collection of muscle cars and exotic vehicles. It truly did not fit, both style wise and space wise. So the collector decided to sell it, even though he had been quite enthralled with it when he first saw it and decided to purchase it.
He was told the odometer reading of 38,722 actually reflects the mileage of the car. It came to him after years in Colorado. Due to the age of the car, it is exempt from mileage disclosure and the mileage was not recorded on the title.
As I examine the car, it is easy for me to believe the car has only been used sparingly. The upholstery, dash, carpet, headliner, door panels, trunk upholstery and engine bay all tell me that this car was either given the greatest care imaginable and always garage-kept, or it just hasn't been driven much. And was still garage kept!
The body is very clean and straight. There are going to be a few stone chips, but that is about it. The chrome is simply fantastic for being almost 50 years old. The softray tinted glass is all original. The padded vinyl roof is original and still in nice condition. You will see how nice and clean it is in the engine bay. The inner fenders are still shiny. The trunk upholstery is all in place and not worn. The spare tire is still the bias ply tire from 1971. The tire iron, jack and original wooden wheel chock are present.
The color was called Cotillion White. The interior was named Black Dorado Cloth. Just as the trim tag decodes. It also shows accessories like power seat, level control, floor mats, automatic climate control, trailering package and lamp monitors. You will also find AM/FM radio, auto-dimming headlights, remote mirrors, power windows and locks, rear defog and flow through ventilation.
All features work properly. I believe the under-dash Cassette player was added. There is switch to change power from it to the radio and back. The keys lock the doors and trunk properly.
The behemoth 500 cubic inch torque-monster propels this car quickly. I have to admit that it provided me with a speeding ticket when I was test driving it during the buying process! It is backed by the 425 THM automatic, which is the front-wheel drive version of the tough and reliable Turbo 400.
The tires are now radials and appear to have minimal usage. I drove it for an hour after the purchase and it really handles well. It kind of floats along with the comfortable ride you would expect from a Cadillac of this era.
I don't have documentation to support the odometer reading of 38,722. But my investigation and claims by the prior owner support the possibility. I invite you to come and look for yourself. I am confident you will be impressed with the quality of this great Eldorado.

Best of
the Twin Cities
Inside either Moxie location it is not unusual to see a client getting a mohawk shaped into shark-fin perfection sitting next to a businesswoman getting her neatly cut layers blown out straight and glossy as silk, while in the next chair over a slick boy with jeans, cowboy shirt, and wallet chain gets a not-too-long, not-too-short man-style. Whichever way you roll, Moxie owner Stephan Adams and his talented crew have your back. As Adams bounds from chair to chair, wielding his scissors or hairdryer, he is a flash of motion, like a haircutting superhero. His demeanor is friendly and gregarious, making hanging out with him while you get your hair cut half the fun. Most important, he listens to his clients and understands what they want. He will not try to talk you out of a haircut because it is too wild or conservative, but he might try to talk you out of one that will make you look totally fug—and he is always right. From the moment you walk in the door and sit down with a magazine and a cup of tea, to the time you step back out onto the city street transformed into a perfectly coiffed version of yourself, you feel pampered. Adams and his staff clearly love their art—the art of making us all look a little better.

Just when you think Sex Horror Zombi flims are the domain of the ladies.. NSFW (NakedSword Film Works) division has released its "Sauna The Dead". Its a campy, fun, sexy, whimsical short from director Tom Frederic. Set in a gay sauna, with zombies. Jacob (Tom Frederic) is a jaded narcissist who stalks the bathhouse halls looking for his next hookup. When he finds himself in the midst of a zombie outbreak, his survival may depend on the one thing he didn't come there for: a human connection.

Tom Frederic
Tom Frederic, Kumar Muniandy, Jonathan Pryke, Dannie Pye, Cristian Sgualdini-Curran, Marcelo Lourenco, Ryan Anthony, Neil Summerville, Anthony Chisholm, James Killeen, George Johnston
DESCRIPTION: When a horny homo named Jacob visits a local gay sauna, he finds the other visitors less than appealing and turns down guy after guy. But after a zombie outbreak starts turning them into zombies, Jacob must team up with one of the men he's rejected and find a way to escape before it's too late. Director and star Tom Frederic's award-winning short combines elements of two very different types of horror tales – Night Of The Living Dead and A Christmas Carol – to create a brilliant, scary and very sexy exploration of the often predatory nature of cruising which offers a way for gay men can break that cycle. You might think twice after visiting your local bathhouse after watching…

The firm is recognized by LatinFinance magazine as "a key player" in Latin American capital markets in 2012
The firm's Latin American franchise has been named Best M&A House, and Best Investment Bank for a second year in row, by leading financial sector publication in the region LatinFinance.
In addition to the Best IB and M&A House awards, several of the firm's clients also received their own 2012 LatinFinance awards for transactions that J.P. Morgan helped them to execute. The transactions included: Best Trade Finance Deal, Best Syndicated Loan, Best Cross-Border M&A Deal, Best Corporate Liability Management, Best Quasi-Sovereign Bond, Best Corporate High-Grade Bond, and Best Initial Public Offering.
In M&A, J.P. Morgan's pan-regional strength and international reach allowed it to capitalize on several of the region's most high profile transactions in 2012. More than 70% of the region's deals had a cross-border component last year.

#PurseBlogWIMB has become one of my favorite editorials to put together. I love seeing all of your posts over on Instagram, and it's so much fun getting to reach out and interact with you guys. Keep snapping, posting and tagging us in your bag spill photos. We want to see them and we want to feature YOU!
This month, we chatted with Loi, @loreebloom, a reader based in Melbourne whose beautifully curated feed caught our eye! As if her gorgeous collection of bags and accessories wasn't enough to fall for, we are obsessing over her arsenal of beauty products too. You know we love trying out new beauty products whenever we get the chance! Loi, it seems, is just like the rest of us here at PurseBlog. Read on to learn more and sneak a peak at her great taste.
PurseBlog: Why do you love handbags?
Loi: Oh there are so many reasons, but I'd say the main one is that well-made handbags are just so beautiful to touch and look at, they instantly make me feel excited and brighten up my day.
PB: What are 5 items you always have in your bag?
L: - LV mini pochette which I use as a wallet
- About 6 different lipsticks, because a girl's gotta have options.
- My phone, to feed my social media obsession.
- Hand Sanitiser, as I like to eat using my hands.
- Sunnies, to protect my eyes.
PB: What was your first designer bag and how old were you when you got it? Why did you want that bag?
L: I got my first designer bag in my mid-twenties and it was the LV Berkeley.
I loved that it was similar, yet different to the Speedy. It was much more structured and the handles were a bit longer making it more comfortable as a top handle bag.
I still love it and always get compliments when I use it, as it's not a very common bag.
PB: If you had to carry one bag for the rest of your life, what would it be?
L: Oh, this is a very tough question. I would say my Chanel WOC. I know, it's tiny, but it really does hold everything I need. It's truly versatile, as it works as a casual bag for daytime wear, and also works beautifully as a date night bag. It's an all rounder!
PB: What is the next bag you plan to get and why?
L: I'm forever dreaming of another Chanel bag, because let's be real, you can never have enough Chanel!
PB: Is the inside of your bag typically neat and tidy or a mess?
L: Surprisingly it's pretty neat! I like using bag organizers to keep everything in place.

Five days! Many items! A look at the last week at Sound of the City is below.
We weighed Salem and fake Salem and the Internet and the slippery notion of "truth" online
We chatted with Mike Watt about being on crutches, taking naps, and "the Neutral Milk guy."
We counted down Kool Keith's many aliases.
We spoke to the incarcerated Max B about his new album.
We took a hard look at Marsha Ambrosius' new album.
We watched as wine and hip-hop came together on YouTube.
We spoke to Rhett Miller about Chili's, Bob Dylan, and marriage proposals.
We hit up the Unsound Festival, the Low/Explosions in the Sky gig, the Acoustic Africa show at B.B. King's, and Araabmuzik's Brooklyn Bowl freakout.
We took notice of the slimmed-down Grammys.
We premiered a dizzying new track by Brooklyn's Liturgy, who are into leaving the black metal scene behind.
And speaking of farewells, we said goodbye to Pia Toscano and LCD Soundsystem, one of whom is more likely to be known by rock critics than the other.
(I'd probably be remiss if I didn't take the opportunity afforded by all these farewells to introduce myself, by the way. I'm Maura Johnston, and I'll be running things around here from now on. You can reach me here with tips, pitches, and ideas. Many thanks to Rob Harvilla and Zach Baron and Camille Dodero for the hard work that made this blog really great, and extra thanks to Camille for the rope-showing these past few days.)
We'll be back Monday.

Now the Nissan Frontier could benefit from the void left by the disappearing Ranger. Of the smaller trucks available, it's the most basic and utilitarian in terms of looks and feel. It has a base price of $22,780.
Nissan officially classifies the Frontier as a mid-size and in crew cab configuration it isn't exactly tiny. But all the other small trucks have grown as well as each generation replaces the previous one. The U.S. auto industry says the truly small trucks from years past just don't have wide appeal anymore.
The heyday of small pickup trucks were from the late 1970s to early 1980s. They came in all types on configurations, from scruffy work trucks to full customs. In the years since, not only have the truck themselves gotten bigger, but so has the popularity of true full pickup trucks.
That's part of what's been leading to their demise. Large trucks aren't that much more expensive than the small ones and can sometimes cost less with rebates and incentives.
Fully-loaded models like the Frontier aren't exactly fuel savers either. The crew cab with four-wheel drive is only rated at 14 mpg city and 19 highway. .
So can small trucks make a comeback if there's demand? Here's one way: Honda's Ridgeline could be a glimpse into the future. It's not especially small, it's not especially inexpensive and it hasn't sold especially well for Honda, so far. But it's an example of a truck that didn't start out as one. It's based on Honda's Pilot SUV and Odyssey minivan, vehicles that aren't trucks underneath, but more like cars.
Honda could make a compact truck from its smaller CRV crossover the same way and other brands could follow suit if demand ever swells again for small pickups. That's a pretty big "if." In the meantime, there's a shrinking choice in small trucks, trucks that really aren't all that small anymore.

Every day, every moment in a Christian's life is soaked in spiritual warfare. Whether we're aware of it or not. I know I struggle with stuff all the time with the attitude that it's just sort of generic "struggling"; often, I don't consider the spiritual fight–-what's really taking place. These battles are usually launched by yet another encounter with my sin nature, and they typically begin with a self-demeaning thought.
When we consider why we did something wrong, or why we didn't do something right, many of us immediately feel frustration and self-directed anger. Thoughts just seem to enter our minds out of nowhere hurling words like: "I'm pathetic! I can't believe I did it again! I swore I never would! I'm such a failure! What a loser! I'll never be free of this!" My "default" handling of these is to treat them as my own ideas, borne of disappointment with myself. But this assessment completely ignores the spiritual world! To accept these judgements as true is to agree with Satan as he assails our identity, denying who we are in Christ, the New Man.
The assault often continues: "You should be over this by now! Maybe you're not really saved? How can you say you follow Jesus?" Satan is attempting to persuade us we still wear our grave clothes; the Old Man apparel was never removed; our prayers are soiled. All of this is contrary to God's word (Isa. 61:10, John 11:44, Acts 10:15 [NASB], 2 Peter 1: 5-9). But if we're obtuse to the spiritual realm, we don't question those statements–-after all, they're just thoughts that "popped" into our heads, so we often do not attach any malice to them.
If we accede to this initial penetration of our defenses, additional agreements follow: Liar – you say you're a new creation, but you're still filthy and disgusting; Phony, Unworthy – there's no way a person who can't even stop doing this should be serving in a church or leading anyone in anything; Hopeless – you're just not capable of change, since you haven't overcome this after so many years; and, ultimately, Rejected – God's word says only those who remain pure will be saved, so you're destined for condemnation and Hell. Do the words "depression" and "despair" ring a bell?
What's the worst part of all this? Many modern Christians have not detected this infiltration in the spiritual realm, and so, out of perceived necessity (based on experience), many have integrated these debilitating beliefs into doctrine. We are taught that salvation is God crediting Christ's righteousness to our account (true), but some are also taught there may be no real change in us this side of Heaven (lie) and that we'll never truly be free of a particular sin until we die and meet Him (deception). I say deception because, in some cases, it may be true that death will finally end some specific resilient sin. But it is certainly not true that there's some specific sin that's so powerful it can not be overcome prior to Heaven. This belief is simply a limitation of what God can do, restricting His power to what I can imagine in the moment of my suffering; or, more precisely, to what limits I have agreed to place on my usefulness to Him.
Now, who is it that wants to limit my usefulness to God? Hmmm.... We must let God's word interpret our experience, not vice versa. Remember who you are! And, if you feel like you're forgetting, well, open up the Scripture and He'll remind you. Need a place to start? Try 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 in the New Testament.

Cupcakes and Angels Posted on
☼ Happy Summer Solstice! I woke up this morning already experiencing the stunning power of of the incoming frequencies; this in the form of a sharp pain shooting through my Pineal gland, off and on, at regular intervals. Also, I'm experiencing some sort of additional activation in ear-chakras, which I think is pretty cool. My Team is telling me that both of these discomforts are associated with the energies further opening up my channels of communication. They are also telling me that this is not exclusive to select individuals-these activations are happening across the board, to everybody. Hooray!
☼ I chose to pull a card from the Messages From Your Angels Deck, and who should emerge but the magnificent Athena. How fitting that we should have a visit from Athena today, on this special day of increased power and integration! I'm so happy to see her. Her presence is a sign of strength and infallibility, but also of protection and safety. We are being cared for in these trying times. We are being watched and loved.
☼ I have always felt a personal connection to Athena, and she is close at hand as I type this. She is indicating that the theme of this particular Summer Solstice is the integration of our many Selves: Human, Angelic, Galactic, to name but a few. She tells us that the downloads are plentiful today, and might feel overwhelming to those of you who are only now beginning to awaken and come into their own power. Or for that matter, even the most seasoned of us can expect theses activations to be really obvious. But it's all fine. Just allow them to flow through you. Relax. Be good to yourself. Drink lots of lemon-water and juices. She says it is also helpful, because of the intense nature of these frequencies, to avoid heavy, carbohydrate-laden foods. If you're tired, then rest. If you're full of energy and jumping out of your skin, then go run around the neighborhood and burn it off! Follow the promptings of your body and your soul.
☼ Athena tells us that we must stand in our own power. We must begin to consciously recognize both the female and male energies that course through us, and use them to our best advantage. It's important that we stand very firm in our beliefs. We must speak our truth, but we must do so in manner exemplified by the Blessed Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene, during their days on the planet; with grace, compassion, sensitivity and class. Accept that you are a force to be reckoned with, but choose your weapons wisely. Wield your sword with a gentle hand. Practice reconstruction rather than destruction. Seek to educate and enlighten, to uplift and imbue those you encounter with confidence and faith. These are the qualities of a true Master. And this Solstice is uncovering the Mastership in us all. It is a time of rediscovery.
My project (to import a lot of the posts from my old blog) is still ongoing. I thought it fitting to share one of my original messages from Athena, which really ties into the advice she gave us today. I've posted it below…
ATHENA. Kindness And Gratitude: The Cornerstones Of The Ascension Process. (Originally posted on June 1, 2012.)
Dear Children, it is with a heart overfilled with love and good wishes that I come to you this sunny morn. Sunny and abundant it is, for we are closer than ever to the realization of our dream. Yes, our dream, yours and mine and that of the Legions of the Heavenly Realms. So, indulge me if you would, my darlings, in my joyous ramblings, for I am of a mind to bring in June on a pleasing note! My message is quite short and simple, and I shall neither digress nor embellish. However, I would like my words to serve as a possible first-step for the newly awakening and as a much needed reminder to our more seasoned warriors. It has come to my attention and to the attention of many in my company, that it is time for a reminder of the most fundamental tenets of what the Ascension process truly is. Of what it entails. It is most normal and expected of one embodying the human form to want to dissect and to study everything down to it's most minute particle. This often results in making a situation or a concept far more complicated than it need be.
And so it is with the topic of Ascension. This is not something which is complex at all, but rather there is nothing you shall ever face in this lifetime-or any other-which is simpler nor easier to understand. It is not about grasping difficult concepts of the planet's history, of quantum physics and sacred geometry; though the knowledge of these is most commendable and beautiful. It is not about tearfully beseeching the Star Brethren to scoop you up in a beam of light and carry you afar. It is not about escapism at all. Nor is it about placing oneself upon a pedestal, to lord it over those who cling to the old ideals. It is not about the overthrow of governments and finance, disclosure or arrests, or even the punishment of those you feel have wronged yourself or society as a whole. Rejoice not in another's misfortune, as this is not The Way of The Christ. Oh, never question that they shall answer to the Father, as those issues will all be addressed and rectified in good time. Remember to approach them not from the standpoint of judgement and retribution, but with compassion, prayers for restoration and in the spirit of His forgiving heart. Ascension is all about the heart. Yes, the heart. That is all. When you are living in the heart, everything else will fall neatly into place. To ascend is to raise ones vibration. And to raise your vibration you must eat, sleep and breath from the very core essence of the heart. You must both embody and emanate the grace of the Holy Mother. You must walk the Earth as Sananda walked it, as the Magdalene walked it. In a state of generosity and goodness. As one who does not judge another, but reaches out a helping hand to guide them towards the light; at a time when they are falling prey to the darkness. You must be kindness personified.
No finer opportunity exists for you now, than the in the expansion of your loving heart. Growth can occur no place else, do not doubt that this is so. Knowledge will take you far, but purity of intent will take you farther. Cultivate a loving vibration and demeanor and live it, be it, each and every day. It is by the embracing, and then the expressing of the qualities of the 5th dimensional living that you make it manifest within your own planetary reality. Indeed, it truly is that basic!
It was not my intent to run on, so in closing permit me to remind you also to be grateful. Be grateful for everything. Be it your health, your children, your home, the food you eat… Thank the Father and Mother many times over, throughout the course of every day. While it may not always appear so, it is a tremendous honor and a blessing to walk the planet Earth in human form, during these most illustrious of times. Your concept of a Gratitude Journal is a fine one, also, as it serves to remind you to to be forever grateful. Might I suggest you keep one, and update it each evening upon retiring? And please do steer clear of that which lowers your vibration, be it a person, place or activity. Your healthy energy is a key component of the whole. Know that you cannot go wrong, when you keep in mind that kindness and gratitude are the cornerstones of the Ascension process. If nothing else, it is this very concept that you have need to master. Share it. Teach it. Then venture forth with a giving heart.
From my own loving heart, I bid you honor and peace. I Am Athena.

The tournament was almost over and team 8 saved the best hole for last, it was hole number 7 and it was at 171 yards for a chance to win a 2-year lease on a Ford F-150! Tim MacTurk was the 2nd one in his foursome to hit. Tim said that he wasn't having a good day with his irons and normally he would have used his 4 iron but decided to go with his 5 wood for the shot.

Contempt of court or contemptuous court?
Somebody ought to call the Guinness Book people and tell them about M V Jayarajan. Only once in a blue moon does the court punish anybody in a contempt of court case. When it does, the sentence usually ends in a prison term till the court adjourns or for a day at the most. It is only natural that an orator, in a moment of emotion, may utter something stupid- it is only human. You cannot edit or rewrite an impromptu speech. In such cases one might say something, which he wouldn't have uttered in other occasions. Usually people get away with an apology or retraction, that's the practice.
Jayarajan didn't apologize; instead he tried to teach the court some Sanskrit, which didn't work. His lawyer even argued that Jayarajan had only tried to describe the judge as a luminary. Luckily for this advocate, there are no clauses in the penal code to punish a lawyer for attempting to mislead the court.
Anyway, Jayarajan earned the distinction of being the first political leader to get six months prison term in a contempt case – Guinness people should enter this in highlighted text. If there are any contenders they should come forward with prison certificates. Many years back comrade EMS too was punished for the same offence. The court fined him one rupee. This time it is Rs 2500! The amount is not a problem, even a million bucks is chicken feed for his party, but six months in prison! It is cruel.
Has anybody been convicted for this kind of offence anywhere – not in India, but anywhere in the world? Legal luminary AG Noorani says it's been 70 years since Britain convicted the last offender. It's not because of a dearth of MVJs in the UK. Where in the world can you spot a place without any Jayarajans? There are thousands. The problem is that neither the courts nor the media bother about them; courts function with an attitude of letting the dogs bark as the caravan goes. In many states in USA there is not even a law to punish contempt. They are content with punishing those who disobey the court. Could be that there are not many abuses in American vocabulary that could shock the judiciary.
Anyway, Jail Rajan got his big break in politics. Reports reveal that he has become a hero of sorts. His rath yathra from the court to central jail was greeted with flashy receptions in many places. His yatra was telecast live in TV channels. Wouldn't it inspire many copycats - who wouldn't be inspired if you get this kind coverage in a contempt case?
Putting leaders like him behind bars for six months will not work. How about banning the media from publishing the offender's name and photo for six months? This will work, no doubt.
CPI (M) is on a warpath against the court and its contempt judgement. Wouldn't it amount to a bigger contempt than calling a judge useless? If you don't like a government decision you can agitate -governments can negotiate with agitators and amend laws or policies – but there is no provision to negotiate or amend a judgement. If you don't like the judgement, you can approach higher courts, period. Even when the top gun of the party EMS was punished there were no such agitations.
But if you think on such lines, you won't be able to organize even a district-level hartal ! Only idiots would ignore golden opportunities landing on their laps.
Party secretary Pinarayi says Jayarajan was jailed because he opposed the move to ban roadside meetings and not for abusing judges in public. Of course, there is a point in what he said. High Court is an organ that behaves with decency and restraint. Naturally, refrain and decency aren't for political leaders. Party's grouse might be that the court too had sunk to the level of Jayarajan while sentencing him. The court should never have done that. And the word 'simple' imprisonment becoming 'rigorous' imprisonment could not be taken as a typographical error – may be it is feelings of the court peeking out inadvertently (anyway, they corrected it afterwards). Why didn't the court reserve the punishment till the appeal decision? At many places in the judgment, court reiterates the point that the accused guy doesn't have any sense at all. It even went to the extend of calling him a worm. The left's legal luminaries can check if there's a provision to file a defamation suit against the court.
Constitution has not directed any high power legal experts to frame laws, it is done by people like Jayarajan. Even the constitution was drawn up by a group of Jayarajans of different hues and shades. Even the judiciary enjoys the power granted by it. Why, even the contempt laws were created by those Jayarajans. People ignorant of laws received the same importance as the lawyers. What to do, it is a democracy, your honour.

Black Leaders Say Obama Hurts Black Students' College Careers
Some leading voices in the black community have recently sharply criticized President Barack Obama over his efforts – or lack thereof – to help young African Americans pursue college.
United Negro College Fund President Michael Lomax called the Obama administration's denial of "student loans to disproportionately large numbers of black parents because of blemished credit histories" a "nasty surprise," summarized Courtland Milloy in The Washington Post, citing an op-ed Lomax penned for The Root.
Milloy went on to note that:
"We're getting calls and e-mails from parents, at least two and three a day, saying the denial of their student loans is a disaster," said Johnny Taylor, president of the Washington-based Thurgood Marshall College Fund. "You have black students from low-income households about to enter college or already there and pressing towards graduation, persisting just as Obama urged them to do, only to have his administration pull the rug out from under them."
In the past year, for historically black colleges and universities (HCBU), the Obama administration's policies have led to a 36 percent drop in the volume of parent loans. That translated into an annual cut of more than $150 million. The reason, according to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, is to prevent parents from taking on too much debt — which is as patronizing as it is hypocritical. …
Nevertheless, from Howard University in the District to Morehouse and Spelman colleges in Atlanta, enrollment at HBCUs is declining as the realities of Obama's revamped loan policies make a mockery of his high-flung rhetoric.
"It is particularly ironic that at a time when this administration has set a goal to increase the nation's college graduation rate to 60 percent by 2020, this policy shift occurs that will make reaching the goal impossible," said Cheryl Smith, senior vice president for public policy and government at the United Negro College Fund. "The tougher credit criteria are having a disparate impact on underrepresented minority students, the very ones that stand to benefit the most from a college education."
It sounds like a fiscally conservative stance is not popular among Obama's typically biggest fans.
It's also important to note that all families with low incomes and poor credit have been hit with this, not just minority ones.

Confidence in our domestic brand of capitalism may be approaching new lows these days, but Five Finger Death Punch rolled into the House of Blues on Tuesday night riding high on the American dream. The L.A. headbangers' new album, American Capitalist, debuted at number three on the charts last month and sold nearly 100,000 copies in its first week -- a nifty sum in the digital era, and one the band is hardly ashamed to brag about. "We even beat out Kanye fuckin' West," crowed singer Ivan Moody to a roar of approval from the large and energetic crowd. Tough times or no, the mostly burly metalheads in attendance appeared far more likely to occupy Afghanistan than Wall Street.
Five Finger Death Punch's particular style of metal isn't easy to classify. It's far more accessible than the southern-fried weirdness of Mastodon, but it's way hairier and sweatier than chart contemporaries Evanescence. Just when you're ready to dismiss it as twenty-first century nu-metal, a ripping guitar solo or a tasty, syncopated double-bass lick involuntarily locks your fingers into devil horns.
Though Hatebreed and All That Remains, the veteran support acts on the Share the Welt Tour, could be considered bona fide headliners in their own right, 5FDP left little doubt which band was anchoring the production. With its heavy steel trusses, blinding LED strobes and jumbotron video screen, the impressive stage set resembled nothing so much as a the ringside set-up from Monday Night Raw. If the band hasn't yet made a few bucks recording a wrestler's entrance music à la Motorhead, they should definitely look into it.
And from the moment the band took the stage and tore into "Under and Over It," a celebration of psychotic American "Get money!" tunnel vision and the first single from American Capitalist, the crowd happily sang along to every word as corporate logos flashed wildly on the screen behind them.
Shouted metallic verses and easy, sing-along choruses had fans alternately banging their heads between their knees and shouting up to the ceiling as 5FDP covered material from its previous two albums, including "Burn it Down" and "The Bleeding." A chromed version of the classic rock radio mainstay "Bad Company" let band members show off their effortless chops and showcase Moody's vocal talents.
Still, Five Finger Death Punch never pandered to the audience, and its music wasn't dumbed down. Drummer Jeremy Spencer's riser, hoisted 10 feet off the ground during his solo where it remained through the band's closing number, elicited howls of appreciation from the packed house. In tough economic times, 5FDP took pains to ensure that they lived up to Tuesday's $40 ticket price. That's the kind of American Capitalism Rocks Off could stand a little more of.

It had all the makings of a disaster. Of historical proportions.
But after losing two leads, not to mention starting quarterback Trent Dilfer to a mild concussion, the Tampa Bay Bucs at least didn't lose their nerve in the fourth quarter Sunday, settling for a disaster averted in their 20-13 win over the expansion Carolina Panthers.
The Bucs escaped Clemson's Memorial Stadium with their third win in five games, and kept a crowd of 50,076 from taking in the first regular-season victory in Carolina franchise history. Boil it down, and Tampa Bay's 19-year head start in the NFL expansion game was worth seven points.
"It feels good to get out of Death Valley alive," said Bucs defensive end Chidi Ahanotu, invoking the stadium's nickname. "Even when we thought we had them on the run, they were out there joking around and laughing, like they didn't have a care in the world. They had nothing to lose."
The Bucs' escape was built around a solid relief job by backup quarterback Casey Weldon (9-of-20 for 156 yards and the game-winning 1-yard fourth-quarter touchdown plunge) and a Tampa Bay defense that forced four Panthers turnovers (three fumbles and one interception), two in the fourth quarter.
All four Carolina turnovers came inside the Bucs' 40, with Tampa Bay staving off trouble by logging two fumble recoveries inside its red zone (at the 1 and 14).
"You've got to drop that word "expansion,' " said Bucs LB Hardy Nickerson, asked about Tampa Bay's 0-4 opponent.
"Let's just call it a team in its first year. Don't say expansion. Expansion leads everyone to believe this team should just get wiped out by the No. 1 high school team in the nation. This was a very good team we played today."
At 3-2, Tampa Bay is on a two-game winning streak and alone in second place in the NFC Central, trailing Green Bay by a half game. The Packers and the rest of the division had a bye. It is the first time since 1992, when the Bucs also started 3-2, that Tampa Bay has had a winning record this late in the season.
All week, the Bucs grappled with the same problem existing NFL teams always have when facing an expansion team: your basic no-win situation. But there are no-win situations, and then there are no-win situations, as Tampa Bay nearly found out.
"I'm glad we're (getting) out of town right now," said Bucs coach Sam Wyche. "We want to get on the bus and get out before they have reviews."
The Bucs' defense, however, was not spared a scathing post-game review by Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Rusty Tillman. Tillman was pushed beyond irritation by a Bucs performance that included the following Carolina offensive highlights:
Kerry Collins' 18-of-32, 234-yard, no-sack, one-touchdown, one-interception day in his first NFL start.
Running back Derrick Moore's 21-carry, 123-yard rushing day, which included a second-quarter 53-yard touchdown run. Moore entered the game with 521 career yards in his four NFL seasons.
The overall execution of a Carolina offense that converted 9 of 15 (60 percent) third-down situations, outgained Tampa Bay 393 to 310 in net yards, 159-58 in rushing yards, and held about a 12-minute edge in time of possession (35:53 to 24:07).
"We s----- on defense today," Tillman said. "This was the worst damn game that I think I've ever been involved with (on defense). The only thing that saved our a-- today was we took the ball away four times. What happened to us today is totally embarrassing."
The Bucs' bend-but-don't-break defense did make the plays when it counted. Nickerson and defensive tackle Santana Dotson forced first-half fumbles (recovered by Nickerson and strong safety Barney Bussey), and free safety John Booty and right defensive end Eric Curry came up with a fourth-quarter interception and fumble recovery, respectively.
Booty's interception of Collins at the Bucs' 8 was merely his second huge play of the game. In the second quarter, his 48-yard reception on a fake-punt pass from Reggie Roby set up Michael Husted's 25-yard field goal, giving Tampa Bay a 10-7 lead.
On the play, a fourth and 8 from the Bucs' 40, Roby barely got the ball to Booty, who raced to the Panthers' 12. It was the first pass of Roby's 13-year career.
"(Roby) wasn't proud of it," joked Booty, who entered the lineup in the third quarter when starting free safety Thomas Everett strained a knee. "He needs to go to quarterback school."
Weldon basically did. Before Sunday, the former FSU standout had never played in a game with the outcome truly in doubt. In his four NFL seasons, his six-game totals read 17 completions in 27 attempts, for 157 yards and one interception.
But after Dilfer exited 3-of-12 for 55 yards, suffering a mild concussion on a second-quarter sack by Carolina linebacker Carlton Bailey and defensive end Mike Fox, Weldon found himself thrust into a game the Bucs had to win.
Despite looking wild high himself, he produced a seven-play, 57-yard field goal drive to end the first half, with Husted converted a 27-yarder to make it 13-7 at the gun. The key play was a 40-yard reception by receiver Horace Copeland.
"Those three points that we got before the end of the half, they were huge for me," Weldon said. "They really settled me down."
After Carolina tied it at 13 on a 5-yard pass to tight end Pete Metzelaars with 8:18 to go in the third, missing the PAT, Weldon helped the Bucs regain the lead for good when he capped an 11-play, 64-yard drive with a 1-yard quarterback sneak _ his first NFL touchdown _ on the opening play of the fourth quarter. A 33-yard pass to tight end Jackie Harris (five catches for a game-high 108 yards) on third-and-16 set up the score.
"It's a great feeling," Weldon said. "This is the first real chance I've been given. I feel like I made the most of it. It was a good win. It could have been a little more picture-perfect, I guess. But I had some big plays."
Dilfer, so hazy he barely could remember playing in the first half, is expected to return next week.

Hey, everyone. Just thought it would be cool if we could get a thread going on movies. If you watch a movie you enjoyed or didn't, post about it. This could be a total flop, but, I thought it might stick around. I'll pull it out when I watch a movie, though... even if no one else does.
I watched three movies today! I'd seen all but one of them already.
Garden State (zach braff, natalie portman).....I love this movie. It's so real, and, sweet, and, funny and emotional. It makes me cry in several parts, and, laugh, too. Natalie Portman is just stunning and adorable, this is by far my favorite role she's played. The soundtrack is wonderful.
Donnie Darko (jake gyllenhaal, drew barrymore).....This is one of my favorites as well. It's strange, and, mysterious, and, funny. Jake Gyllenhaal is great in it, and, the soundtrack is awesome as well in this film.
Trainspotting (ewan magregor)......I'd only seen bits of this movie previously. I thought it was disturbing and funny all at once. It's good, but, like Donnie Darko, may be too weird for some people. The theme today seemed to be awesome soundtracks, because this movie was packed full of great music.
Anyway......I just thought it'd be cool to see how a thread like this would fare. So, if you've seen a movie and it's not something you want to start a new thread on (like a brand new big movie or something), then, post your thoughts about it in here.

State of the Union address scheduled for Jan. 24
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will give his State of the Union address Jan. 24, essentially launching his re-election year just as Republicans vote on which nominee they want to oust him from his job.
As tradition requires, House Speaker John Boehner invited the president to speak to a joint session of Congress. The White House accepted.
In a letter to the president, Boehner said Republicans "welcome the opportunity to hear your new ideas for working with Congress."
Obama is seeking re-election unopposed, but his address will fall between the pivotal South Carolina and Florida Republican presidential primaries.

"The issue of Internet freedom and national security is not only an Ethiopian problem"
In an interview with 2016 CGCS visiting scholar Till Waescher, 2016 Annenberg-Oxford Media Policy Summer Institute participant Halefom Hailu Abraha, deputy director of legal and policy affairs at the Information Network Security Agency (INSA) Ethiopia, discusses the thin line between regulating online content and freedom of expression in a transitional country, the effects of old anti-blasphemy laws for the online realm, and the role of national Internet Service Provider Ethio Telecom.
Ethiopia has the second largest population of all African countries, yet its internet penetration rate is only 12 percent. Still, the country has arguably one of the most sophisticated internet regulatory regimes in the region. 2016 Annenberg-Oxford Media Policy Summer Institute participant Halefom Hailu Abraha is a cyber law and policy researcher, and deputy director of legal and policy affairs at the Information Network Security Agency (INSA), Ethiopia. In an interview with fellow participant and 2016 CGCS visiting scholar Till Waescher, Halefom discusses the thin line between regulating online content and freedom of expression in a transitional country, the effects of old anti-blasphemy laws for the online realm, and the role of national Internet Service Provider Ethio Telecom.
With over 80 ethnic groups and more than 90 languages Ethiopia is the most diversified country on the African continent. What are the biggest challenges when it comes to internet content regulation in your country?
The internet is the greatest tool for advancing causes of democracy and civil liberties. However, it is not without challenges and problems. When it comes to content, the internet provides unlimited access to useful resources, while at the same time, it also serves as a platform for harmful or illegal content such as hate speech, sexually explicit content especially child pornography, defamatory statements, terrorist propaganda, extremist, radicalizing, and racist materials. While recognizing that the benefits of the internet far outweigh its negative aspects, these are public policy concerns which cannot be ignored.
Even though there is a general consensus that harmful or illegal materials are widely available on the internet and accessible regardless of frontiers, there are no acceptable standards and definitions as to what constitutes harmful or illegal content on the internet as this is largely shaped by existing constitutional values and policies, and varies based on different cultural, moral, religious, historical, and legal notions.
These problems and concerns of illegal or harmful content become all the more salient in deeply diversified societies like Ethiopia that are transitioning to democracy. Ethiopia is home to over 80 ethnic groups that practice diverse cultures, traditions and religious denominations. While it is widely recognized that Ethiopia remains a unified polity where various ethnic and religious groups have co-existed peacefully for centuries, the increasing access to online contents contrary to the established cultural and religious values of the society might soon emerge to the public.
The biggest challenge when it comes to internet content regulation in Ethiopia is, therefore, to develop and implement an effective online content regulatory framework which promote safer online environments, encourage the use of the internet in harmony with Ethiopia's ethnic, cultural, religious and social diversities, while at the same time protecting free speech.
Almost half of Ethiopian internet users are under 25 and they are very active on social networking sites. Describe the relationship between the government and companies like Facebook and Google. How do the regulatory bodies deal with political speech voiced on social media?
To my knowledge, there is no formal relationship between the Ethiopian government and major internet companies like Facebook and Google regarding online content regulation. The absence of formal cooperation with internet companies coupled with fragmented or outdated legislations make content regulation in Ethiopia more complicated. In this regard, the recently adopted cybercrime bill, which incorporates a provision dealing with international cooperation, might be helpful in the future.
There is only one Internet Service Provider, Ethio Telecom, which is owned and operated by the Ethiopian state. Are there plans or demands from civil society actors to liberalize the telecommunications market?
There have been demands and pressures, especially from the West, on the Ethiopian government to liberalize the telecommunications market. Some civil society actors also criticize the status quo on the ground, arguing that the underperformance of the Ethiopian telecommunication sector is attributed to the public monopoly and lack of competition.
On the other hand, the Ethiopian government takes a firm stand not to open up its telecommunications sector any time soon, the primary reason being that the telecom sector is the primary source of income to finance mega projects such as the railway and telecommunication infrastructure development in high-cost rural areas.
The government has also been claiming for a long time that privatization of the sector will not fall in line with the government's development program which aims to expand access to ICT services to all rural areas.
In this regard, the government has shown strong commitment to improve the infrastructure and create an enabling policy and regulatory environment, and argues that what matters is not the monopoly policy per se, but how and to what end the monopoly is used. Therefore, I do not think that the government has a plan to privatize the telecommunications sector at least in the short run.
There are a total of five government institutions dealing with the regulation of cyberspace in Ethiopia. While they have different objectives, ranging from cybersecurity, online video, and web advertising, all of them have the legal authority to regulate online content. How does content regulation actually work given these overlapping competences? Can you give an example of a concrete case where one or more of these regulatory bodies were involved?
The present regulatory environment in Ethiopia is sector-specific approach because telecommunications and broadcasting are regulated by separate authorities and subject to scattered pieces of legislations. The distinction between traditionally separate sectors of telecom, ICT and broadcasting is now blurred as we can make telephone calls, watch television, and share music on handheld devices such as smartphones via the internet.
This digital convergence poses challenges to existing governance functions as it makes regulatory overlapping inevitable. It also creates regulatory uncertainty of new service created by digital technology such as the internet. Therefore, even though I cannot give you specific examples at this point, studies indicate that redundancy of regulatory responsibilities and power overlap is another challenge that regulators face in Ethiopia.
According to Ethiopian criminal law, it is illegal to criticize "divine being(s), religious symbols, and sacred materials." How is this rather vague formulation applied to decide whether to regulate online content?
As I said earlier, Ethiopia is home for diversified traditions and religions. In such a situation, some kind of regulation is necessary so as to maintain the harmonious life of the society. In this regard, the law prohibits religious blaspheming, not criticism per se, in a place open to the public or that can be viewed by the public. But, taking the diversity of traditions and religions in the country, the problem with this law is that it is unclear what the religious symbols protected from being blasphemed really are. Who decides that and on what basis? As this law was initially designed to regulate offline activities, it is difficult to apply to the online environment. So, applying such kind of laws to regulate online content may have chilling effects and my recommendation would be interpret it narrowly or amend and specify existing laws to accommodate technological changes.
Western media outlets such as Vice have called the state of the Ethiopian internet a "tragedy." Human Rights Watch, in a report from 2014, accused Ethiopia of using online surveillance and censorship to clamp down the opposition. How do regulatory bodies balance internet freedom and national security concerns in an ethnically fragile country as Ethiopia?
I cannot give you detail information on the status of online surveillance or censorship in Ethiopia because I am not a technical expert on that. But the issue of internet freedom and national security is not only an Ethiopian problem. It is rather currently the focus of intense international debate. I think the biggest challenge for all governments across the world today is to strike the right balance between internet freedom and other legitimate interests such as national security and law enforcement.
As a young democracy, these challenges are more pressing in Ethiopia. On the one hand, the government has legitimate national security and law enforcement interest that cannot be ignored. On the other hand, the government has a duty to respect constitutionally guaranteed rights including internet freedom. This is a challenging job and requires, among other things, a robust legal and regulatory framework that ensures adequate level of protection while at the same time enhance public security and law enforcement interests in Ethiopia.

I'm very excited to unveil the smashing new cover for my upcoming YA supernatural thriller The Nightmare of Moxie Gore. The cover was designed by the artist enigmatically known as Germancreative on Fiverr.
Before I saw the concept, I was all prepared to have to convince myself to love it ("I'm sure other people will like it. Maybe it's just what the market expects."). Then I saw it and immediately thought it captured everything about Moxie and her misbegotten travels through this world (and the next). Ghost incursions, demonic possession, internships. Life is rough for Moxie.
Paperback and ebook will be available on July 24.

Out of all of the prep I did for the wedding – the guest book was by FAR my favorite. After deciding to give a book donation in lieu of traditional favors, I had books, pages and text on my mind. Enter the guest book idea: a typewriter.
My vision was to find a vintage typewriter, stock it with beautiful stationary and set our guests loose to type notes of congratulations and advice. After a few quick google searches, my bubble quickly burst as I saw that working vintage typewriters were a bit out of my budget. I had pretty much given up on the idea when one evening J and I stumbled across a GIGANTIC vintage shop in the 3rd Ward. On the second floor of the dusty shop, we found a typewriter graveyard. I pulled out a piece of paper and began typing away in search of a machine that worked. And lo and behold…. I found one! We negotiated an awesome deal and the guestbook plan was back on track!
Another quick google search (seriously, what would I do without google?) gave me the type of ribbon I needed to order and an approximate birthday for my little machine – late 1940's!
The last step was picking out beautiful stationary paper at Broadway Paper. I could have shopped all day – paper shopping is surprisingly fun! I found some great options that complimented our color scheme for the day while still maintaining the simplicity of the type. Here's our final set-up:
The results were great – the notes are messy, broken and 100% heartfelt. The simple type looks amazing on the rich paper. I actually have the sheets hanging in my living room, but that's a post for another day :)
What unique ideas have you seen for guestbooks?

The restyled Quattroporte has been revealed in Oman sporting an upgraded V6 engine and two new trim lines.
"The Quattroporte was born when Maserati decided to lower the engine of a race car into a four-door – "quattro porte" – salon car in 1963. Nobody had done anything like that before and until today our Quattroporte drives with a Ferrari produced engine. A legacy that now continues with the new model," said Alfardan Motors' Assistant General Manager, Mohamed El Zawawy.
The restyled Quattroporte's exterior can be recognised by the new bumper design with matte black profile at the front and the matte black extractor at the rear. Even the new front grille, a centre piece of the Maserati identity, evolves into a new shape inspired by the Alfieri. It is more pointed and imposing, and introduces new vertical chrome elements in contrast to the deepness of the shark nose effect. Other distinguishing details of the new Quattroporte are the matte black side skirts and the exterior mirrors, slightly restyled as well to incorporate some new technical features.
On the interior, the redesigned central dashboard now accommodates a high resolution 8.4" screen with multi touch function. The central, lower console has also been redesigned and now features a rotary knob for volume and functions control. The new infotainment system is compatible with both the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring functions. The new Air Quality Sensor substantially improves the comfort for the occupants through an intelligent sensor and a signal analysis system that calculates the external pollution levels and prevents polluted air and toxic gases from entering the cabin.
A new package of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems is available as an option in the new Quattroporte. It includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning with Advanced Brake Assist and Automated Emergency Braking as well as a new Surround View Camera.
With the restyling of the flagship, the Quattroporte, Maserati launches a new trim strategy in order to offer its highly demanding clientele the additional choice of two unique trim lines that emphasize the two key pillars of the brand's DNA: GranLusso and GranSport. Each trim level was conceived to meet the needs of clients that seek a differentiated and unique product in the luxury sedan segment.

Horse riding in Britain is booming but so are the numbers of related casualties. It's generally accepted as a risk sport and despite safety equipment generally being of a very high standard serious accidents frequently occur.
10 Deaths Per Year Caused By Horse Riding Accidents
In a paper published by former government advisor Prof David Nutt horserelated incidents cause roughly 10 deaths a year and 100 road traffic accidents.
Flying paramedics were called out to 150 incidents involving horse accidents in 2007 and according to them horse riding has now overtaken motorcycling as the biggest cause of rural accidents.
It's alarming that in light of the above some riding schools are not adequately supervising their riders particularly the younger inexperienced ones.

Make A Network Marketing Splash By Using These Tips
Network marketing can be a great way to start out in business. After all, you have your own business with strong support from people in upper levels who want to see you succeed. You can also recruit new people who will help you to make money. Here are a tips to make sure your network marketing business is a success.
Invite People to Your Company Event To Listen to The Presentation
Recruiting team members is not a job, it's an art. Start with learning how to invite people to your company's events to listen to a presentation. If your invitees actually show up and sign up at the end of the presentation, you might be ready to recruit new team members.
Create a weekly training for your team and follow through with it every week. It doesn't have to be a huge involved thing every week. It is more about being consistently in touch with them and providing them the information they need to sell more successfully. To your downline, you are the expert so make sure you show them that.
Network Marketing Program
If you are interested in getting involved with network marketing but are unsure which network marketing program to join, the best thing to do is to look at the product that you, and your producers will be selling. Many network marketing programs do not have great products and for the most part, are scams where every recruit is required to buy the product. A network marketing program with a remarkable product, on the other hand, is far less likely to be a scam. Great products sell themselves. It will also be significantly easier to recruit top producers if you can offer them an excellent product to market.
Don't leave it up to your website to make you money! You can't just take the "if I build it, they will come" attitude or you will FAIL in network marketing. You have to beat the pavement locally, to build your downline, be it by sharing marketing materials or actually talking to people you meet.
Give Your Idea
If you have something different to offer, you never know who might be interested. Give your idea a fighting chance by presenting it to potential customers.
Feng shui your office to give you an advantage in your network marketing business. Even if it just clears your space and organizes your life, there is a benefit to feng shui. Don't pay anyone for their help. Instead, look up free resources online, and do it yourself. Clean office, clean mind!
Asking Question
Ask lots of questions. When you are out doing network marketing in person, make sure that you ask a lot of questions. The person asking the questions is the one in control and asking questions enables you to get as much information as possible from other successful people without having to give away your own secrets.
Use these tips to give you a strong foundation. A good network marketing company makes sure that everyone succeeds, and these tips will help you do your part. You'll continue to learn as you go along, both from your up-line and down-line, and all the information will help your business flourish.…Continue Reading

It would be easy to spend a week in San Francisco, but you can still cram a lot of fun into a two-day visit if you're short on time. While visiting our teen daughter Megan, who attends SFSU, we asked her what she wanted to do in the city. Her wish: a visit to the California Academy of Sciences. And Thai food.
Day One in San Francisco
We checked into the Westin St. Francis, a historic luxury hotel located in the heart of famous Union Square. Built in 1904, the hotel celebrated its 110th anniversary in May. It's one of those hotels that make you feel good from the moment you step inside. The expansive lobby has marble columns, decorative balconies, and the Magneta Grandfather clock, installed in 1907. Young kids may not notice the beautiful photos depicting the hotel's history or elegant display cases filled with historical objects, but they'll love the glass elevators offering stunning city and bay views.
Our spacious room on the 23rd floor had the same views. Completing the lovely room were plush beds and linens – among the best we've ever slept on.
Upon request, kids ages 13 and younger get a complimentary Westin Kids package, which includes a plush animal, book and backpack with nightlight, rubber ducky, coloring book and crayons.
Tip: Save a few bucks by parking across the street in Union Square Garage (the first underground parking lot in America).
Union Square
The Westin's location in the hub of Union Square makes it convenient to get out and about. Cable cars stop right outside the doors. On foot, shops and restaurants abound. My daughter and I grabbed a late lunch at one of our favorite Thai places – Bangkok Noodles. There's always a line out the door. And no wonder. For under $10 a plate you get large, tasty portions of authentic Thai food.
Scalia's Bistro (located inside Sir Francis Drake Hotel)
I'm glad we saved room for this amazing meal. A short walk from the Westin, Scalia's is an upscale restaurant serving Italian (with a touch of French) cuisine. The service and food were impeccable. We ordered the pesto and ricotto ravioli with lemon cream sauce, orecchiette spicy sausage, pork chops and baby carrots with roasted pistachios. A rich chocolate pecan tarte capped off an excellent meal.
Day 2 in San Francisco
Although we've visited most of San Francisco's top attractions, this was our first visit to the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. We arrived early to allow time to explore a rainforest, an aquarium, the natural history museum and to catch a planetarium show. Before tickets ran out, we nabbed some for an afternoon showing of Dark Universe, a spectacular program that whisks you through the cosmic mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.
Among our favorite exhibits is the four-story living tropical rainforest contained inside a glass dome. The rainforest is home to more than 1,600 living creatures, including free-flying birds and butterflies.
Another highlight is the earthquake simulator, where you can feel a 7.9 magnitude shaker like San Francisco experienced in 1906. There's also an interactive Naturalist Center, where families can examine a dinosaur leg bone, a polar bear pelt and other specimens. Kids 5 and younger have their own place – Early Explorer's Cove. They can climb a tree house, tend an organic garden and more. Since our visit, a new exhibit has rolled in – Skulls. It features more than 600 skull specimens and a colony of flesh-eating beetles.
Tip: $3 discount for visitors who walk, bike, or take public transit to the Academy. Weekday mornings tend to be less crowded.
Although our trip was short, we were immersed in San Francisco's vibrant culture and had a great time. And with three more years of college life for Megan, we'll have plenty of time to explore San Francisco with her.
