Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area wrote Thursday that 49ers tight end Vernon Davis "might" be the team's leading receiver once again. He was just that in 2009 and 2010. Maiocco also said second-round rookie eight end Vance McDonald should become Davis' backup immediately and "see a lot of playing time."
Davis caught 41 balls for 548 yards and five touchdowns last season.
Fantasy Analysis:
I've been saying all offseason that I expect Davis to be the 49ers' leading receiver. Anquan Boldin is safe, but Davis should catch more passes and score more often than him. He has the most proven play-making ability of anyone on that roster, and I'm not expecting a monster breakout year from any of San Fran's young wideouts. Davis and Colin Kaepernick did next to nothing together in the regular season -- 12 catches for 144 yards and one touchdown in seven games. Then things got better in the playoffs -- 12 catches for 254 yards and one touchdown in three games. I expect that postseason connection to carry over. Depending on how Rob Gronkowski's rehab unfolds, I think Davis should be the second or third tight end drafted.

Education in, for or against a globalised world : power to the people or devil incarnate?
Lidstone, John (2004) Education in, for or against a globalised world : power to the people or devil incarnate? In Chiang, Nora Lan Hung, Lidstone, John, & Stephenson, Rebecca A. (Eds.) The Challenges of Globalisation: Cultures in Transition in the Pacific-Asia. University Press of America, Blue Ridge Summit, PA., pp. 38-48.
When students demonstrate against the evils of Globalisation in Melbourne, or the World Trade Centre in the United States is destroyed by a bomb, many of the six billion people on earth learn of the event faster than the earth can turn on its axis. However they perceive such events, it is likely that they are the beneficiaries of the very globalisation that the perpetrators wish to halt in its tracks. Of those who never hear of such events, the majority will be on the wrong side of the digital divide, deprived of the right to have any influence on the global events that affect their lives. There is a deep irony that the ery forces that appear to some to be promoting the evils of globalisation are the very forces that hold the promise of empowering others, and the difference between the empowered and the disempowered may well prove to rest in access to the globalised community that is emerging.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
Nov. 9, 2012
Quoting head coach Agnus Berenato
On the need for a leader to take control of the Panthers' young team:
"I'm extremely disappointed. It's over, it's history and we go right back to work on William & Mary who we have on Sunday. I just want to say compliments to Youngstown State. They did a great job nailing their shots in the second half. It was literally a tale of two halves. You've got to be able to make shots. They made three threes with one second or less. You know what, give them credit. They made those three threes, and that's where you've got to pull your bootstraps up. We needed somebody today to really go out and just be an anchor and be a leader, and that shows, where again, it sounds like a broken record. Last year we were the youngest team in the nation and this year we're in the top-five youngest in the nation. We've got to have someone grow up really quick, bottom line. It has to do with somebody taking control of the team."
On the performance of sophomore center Cora McManus:
"I thought that Cora McManus did a phenomenal job when she came into the game. Cora has been working extremely hard. Unfortunately she got hurt last year when she had her most successful game, but she was really determined that she was going to be a difference maker. Cora has limitations and she knows about that but at the same time she has extreme possibilities. It's very exciting to see Cora when today she was successful. She became the anchor. She rebounded. She ended up with a career-high (in points) and stayed within her game."
On what she expects to see from redshirt freshman guard Loliya Briggs moving forward:
"I think Loliya Briggs, you know, I'm just so excited to have her with us this year and to have her as (Brianna) Kiesel's wingman. She brings a lot of aggressiveness and a lot of attitude to the game but at the same time it was her first collegiate game. And when it's your first collegiate game, I think you tend to have a lot of emotions. (Loliya), as a true freshmen, went and made a great move. She just missed the shot. To me, that's character. So I think she's going to get better and better."
On the issues of poor match-ups in the second half:
"You can look back and 'could've,' 'would've,' should've. We probably could've had the starters not have so much pressure on them. (I) should've probably played the second five and started the second five. If I had to do it over again, would I have done it? I don't know, because then you've challenged your starters, breaking the confidence of your starters, and that's what a team is all about. A team comes together. When people struggle you bring other people in. We played like a team in the first half, it was awesome, but in the second half we went in and, you know to be honest with you, the match-ups just weren't good."
Sophomore Center Cora McManus
On her career points
"I thought it really came with my rebounding, but at the same time, it was all about kicking the ball out to my guards to make sure they knock down shots, and that if they don't knock them down I have their back with the rebound. I like my guards taking shots because it gives me the opportunity to rebound."
On YSU making shot after shot:
"It's definitely disappointing but at the same time they made the shot and we have to make one too."
On not giving up on the play:
"So much of this game is not giving up. You can be big or small as long as you don't give up on every play, you'll produce."
On moving forward with the season:
"It makes us very hungry. A loss is a loss but at the same time you don't let it linger. At practice tomorrow were going to go in harder and better so we can produce on Sunday."
R-Freshman Guard Loliya Briggs
On the transition to her first NCAA game:
"Yes, the game moves fast and it's quicker. You always have to be on your toes. It's very different and not the same as high school or anything else you played in the past."
On moving forward with the season:
"A loss is something you learn from. I feel like we have to take the positive out of it and if we learn today, were not going to make those same mistakes on Sunday and the games to come. We have to correct them and it is good to correct them early than to lose later."

What to do with these: Trusonic 80FR
Hi Friends,
I just came into a pair of these and am looking for suggestions of any kind. I' ve never built my own speakers before, but I might consider it or consider buying appropriate cabinets if the opinion/advice here is that it would be worthwhile. OTOH, I might also consider selling them.
I have a pair of Tannoy PBM8 which I use with a Hafler P3000 for studio monitoring. The Tannoys have the original, rather cheap woofers which I plan to replace eventually, but I'm afraid the Trusonics, at only 25 watts, would be destroyed on the first downbeat. Is that a pretty close guess, or are these more robust that they might seem?
Anyway, if anyone can point me in some direction, even to get me started, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi! Recently has been approved my first WordPress Theme and luckily, I've had some sales. But as we all, I would like to increase my sales so I would like to asksome things.
What are the most important things for selling themes?
I know that a good design and good coding is the most important but, what is the relevance of the marketing, on TF, social networks and blogs?
Can a new author have as many sales as an elite author?
And, of course, I will accept any feedback of my theme. [Link removed ^TK]

On the Importance of Breadcrumbs
Posted on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 0:07 AM
Google has just announced a new change to some search results that they hope will soon make it into many other results. Today, for each search result they show a green web address, or URL, at the bottom to let you know where you're headed. This can be good if the URL makes it clear what you can expect to find on that page and where it fits within the hierarchy of the site. But it can be downright useless if it's not clear.
When we design the way results appear on google.com, our goal is to get you to the information you're looking for as quickly as possible.
For example, if a site sold bananas the website might have a URL that looks like www.example.com/products/bananas.htm. If this URL appeared in green below a search on Google for the website it would be pretty clear to the person searching what is on that page and where it exists in the website. This page is about "bananas," under "products," which is on the "example.com" site.
Often, however, URLs are too long, too short, or too obscure to add useful information. What if the URL instead looked more like www.example.com/jsmith.htm? A search result wouldn't necessarily make it clear that this page is a part of the "staff" sub-section under the "about us" section which is on the "example.com" site.
The new text that Google is now introducing will provide useful information about the page. It will be easier to see that the example.com site has information about their company, including a whole section listing the people that work there.
This new change will definitely add a lot more value to your search results but more importantly it exposes the method that Google is using to correctly display this hierarchy: they are looking at the site's breadcrumbs.
By analyzing site breadcrumbs, we've been able to improve the search snippet for a small percentage of search results, and we hope to expand in the future.
Breadcrumbs are the list of links at the top of a page which look something like "Home > About Us > Staff > John Smith". This list of links lets your visitors know where they are in your website and how the sections of your site relate to each other. Also, clicking on any one of the links in the breadcrumbs will take you directly to that section. So, they provide valuable information and make it easier for your visitors to get around.
For years we've known how important this information can be which is why every Tasty CMS website has a bread crumb trail at the top of every page. This trail is automatically created whenever you add, edit or move a page. So as Google begins to roll this change out to more search results our clients will be able to take full advantage of it without having to do anything.
As a final thought: do you know why they're called breadcrumbs? Here's a hint...

Precious stones stolen in hold-up
An armed man escaped on foot with a tray of diamonds after holding up a jeweller's in Valletta yesterday evening.
The hold-up took place at about 6.30 p.m. at the shop of Jos Debono Jewellers Ltd in Sta Lucija Street, which is a pedestrian area.
The man, who was brandishing a pistol, escaped with a tray containing diamonds, police sources said. The value of the haul has not yet been established but it was described as running into several thousands.
The owner and a shop assistant, who were in the shop at the time, were not injured, although they were both in a state of shock when the police arrived on the scene soon afterwards.
An intensive police search is under way.
Magistrate Jacqueline Padovani is conducting an inquiry.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Thank you for using Just Answer.
There are a couple of things to check before we decide you need a new ice maker or dispenser.
Is there Ice in bin inside the freezer? If there is NO ice inside the bin then -
Check the water hose that feeds the ice maker inside the freezer (behind the freezer). Carefully squeeze the hose to see if it is frozen (hard). This will prevent the ice maker from making ice.
Please post the model number from the fresh food compartment wall so that we can give you more specific information.
Thank-you for responding so quickly.
When we noticed the ice maker not working (last week Thursday) the ice bin was 1/3 full. We have since use that ice up. The water line does not appear to be frozen, it is flexible. Model # XXXXX XXXXX WW. If you have recieved a previous e-mail from me with this same information, please bear with me until I get this on-line correspondense routine figured out.
Thanks again,
That's good news. This problem may very likely be that the water valve needs to be changed. The water valve has two outputs and the solenoid for the icemaker may be bad.
This is behind the refrigerator where the house's waterline connects to the refrigerator.
You would disconnect the two outputs on the other side of the valve and switch them. Then you try the water dispenser. NOW if you have no water from the dispenser you would know the water valve needs to be changed.

I mean, he's done SO much for Detroit
Everyone interviewed on the news is always saying how much great stuff Kwame has done, and I don't know if we have covered this here or not, but has he? Has he actually done so much good that it should be recognized as such?
Maybe I have not been looking, or maybe he is just a goof, but outside of all the stupid and illegal things he has done, has he done a lot of good?

A lot of the stuff that he counts as the good accomplished on his watch were started by previous administrations (e.g. the casinos, the new stadiums, Superbowl selection) or undertaken by private individuals or foundations with little help from the City (e.g. NextDetroit, targeted neighborhood revitalization project, OneD, Detroit RiverWalk).
Prior to this year, he did have a much better relationship with local business people and was able to work with people like those at Rock Financial in order get them to locate their new HQ downtown but I don't think that will come close to making up for half of the jobs that have left the city over his tenure (but how much of that should be attributed to the poor economy in MI in general?)
Crime was also down over the first few years of his tenure but both violent crime and property crime have increased significantly over the last half of his administration.
If there was one accomplishment that he could/should be proud of it should be the changes in many of the zoning and planning ordinances that have made it more attractive to folks to actually move into the CBD. There are much more variety of housing options downtown than there were just a couple of years back and I think a lot of this can be traced back to his push to get younger folks downtown as residents (now, I agree that many of the lofts and condos sit empty but with a region experiencing miniscule population growth, anybody with any brains could have seen that this would be a slow process and eventually downtown will reach a tipping point where new residents will be able to support increased commercial and retail activity downtown).
And although these are two small things, I think that residents have benefitted from policies he introduced that stopped building new gas stations in the city when there were many many old ones sitting vacant as brownfields (his staff makes every effort to provide incentives for new stations to come into locations where there was previously a station and clean it up and locate there instead of going to a new spot and making a whole new mess) as well as policies that put limits to the advertising of liquor and beer at party stores in the city (sure, the stores still sell the stuff, but there are not nearly as many advertisements plastered all over the walls and billboards for it as there was a few years back).
IMO, his minuses outweigh the plusses though.

Money saving tips for the new year(282 Posts)
New year, new start and all that... Anyone have any fab money saving tips?
Just due to everyday costs I have somehow managed to run up £5k debt and am so embarrassed. I don't budget well. DP and I have been taking about having a baby soon (not getting any younger) and I just can't go into it knowing I have this debt. AF was three days late until today and while i would be so happy to be preg I am also relieved I am not.
So what's your top tip?
I am so far trying the budget supermarkets and it will be packed lunches from now on. I will also eBay anything and everything!
And definitely yes to no shopping. Or browsing internet shops. If you can't see it, you won't want to buy it.
Do your main food shop at Aldi. I've saved loads since switching to them two years ago.
Download the Account Manager app - it's fab! I can see exactly when in the upcoming weeks I'll be short of money, so can try and amend my spending accordingly or sell something to make up the shortfall. I think it was £1.99 to download but there's a free version you can download first to see if you get on with it.
Batch cook and freeze individual portions of meals, then you only have to add rice, pasta etc and you've got a full meal. Last night I made a turkey curry with the last of the turkey and ate a portion, put one in the fridge for tonight and four more portions went into the freezer!
Get your hair cut less often.
Cut out/reduce luxuries such as Sky TV, nights out, gym memberships, new clothes etc.
Check your utilities with a comparison site to see if you can save money.
Don't try to save if you have debt. It makes more financial sense to throw everything you can at the debt then start to save.
I also second whoever recommended MSE. They have a fantastic budget tool on there to get you started, which will help you to see where your money goes and where you can make cutbacks. If you post on the Debt Free Wannabe forum you'll get loads of advice about where you could make changes - quite often they'll suggest things you hadn't thought of so it's worth doing. Also subscribe to the MSE weekly email.
Yes i agree with keeping an account of your spending. Run your household like a business. Businesses do what they can to keep costs down and never spend more than what comes in. Make turning off all electricals and lighting when you leave a room second nature. Involve the family in this too. Before you buy anything other than essentials prove that you really need it. If so can you get it anywhere else cheaper? Does it need to be brand new? The latest model or version? I never buy anything for full price. I beg for discount codes.
Set a shopping budget and stick to it religiously. Bulk buy bread and milk and stick it in the freezer. I find always having the basics to hand cuts down on the need to do top up shops (and spend more than needed).
Ball up some tin foil and bung it in the dryer. This speeds up drying time, cuts down on static and makes ironing easier. The same ball can be used again and again.
Use white vinegar, soda crystals, bleach and washing up liquid for all your cleaning jobs. You really don't need anything else.
Do freezer and cupboard weeks every now and then. By this I mean don't buy any shopping and just use whats in your house. It can be a challenge but its fun.
- Account for everything you buy - we have a spreadsheet that we update when we get paid / for all direct debits / every time we get cash out / spend money on debit card.
- Go food shopping once a week - yes, most of you are already doing this but we weren't and were spending far too much on food when we had ample things in the cupboard. We now go every Monday for food for that week only (meals already planned) and only top up for bread & milk.
- Don't have a credit card - we've never had one and so don't have the temptation of buying stuff we don't need.
Oh, and don't compare what you have to everyone else. It helps that we're really not car / gadget / clothes orientated (well, I do like clothes but Tesco, Asda, New Look, etc. is fine for me!) Our house is lovely but is furnished by Ikea, Argos, etc. and not really expensive places.
Set up a monthly standing order to a savings account to pay off your £5k debt on the day you get paid, that way the money is out of your day to day spending account and you can't get to it so easily to fritter away.
Switch your energy supplier, challenge your TV/Phone/Cable company on their prices- ask for the deals they offer new customers, threaten to move to the competition Sky vs Virgin, and they will definitely offer you a better deal. Even better, cut it out altogether and just have Freeview.
Cut up your credit card. If you can only spend what you have on your debit card/ cash each month then you won't get into further debt.
TartyMcTart this is the reason why you should have a credit card and use it for all purchases. I do that for everything I could get away with using a card.
Most cards give you a 1.25% cashback on all spending. In other words, the money you spend are invested with a 1.25% return. It's as stupid as not to use quidco when you are already going to spend the money.
Link working this time ...
Actually we do have a card and all bills and shopping go on it. We get rewards every 3 months because we pay it off in full every month. I find it so much easier just to pay the credit card bill rather than loads of different amounts leaving our account at different times. Its also brilliant for protection when buying larger items over £100. As long as you pay it off every month and aren't tempted to go mad on it a credit card is very useful.
I find if you pay the credit card or put into your savings first you just manage on the rest of what's left where as the other way around there's always the temptation to dip into the allocation for something even if it's only a few pounds it all adds up.
I agree Mosman. I found that actual cash ran through my fingers like water. But a credit card made me more wary of spending wisely. 3 years ago I would've said it'd be the other way around but its really not. I try to have some cash on me for emergencies (about £20 a week) as the kids school always has its paws out for something.
Also I must say that without dh I'd still be a terrible spender. It's taken him years but he's finally reined me in.
True, I suppose that would work for us as we do watch our money and spending
she says ignoring the calls of "Tight!" from OH
It's just what we're used to. I much prefer knowing exactly how much we have in our account at any given time. We rarely get statements from the bank, we just look at our handy spreadsheet instead!
Tarty if it works for you then thats the main thing. I know lots of families who don't budget at all and seem to go through life with their fingers crossed. I do get jealous that these families have days out, holidays and treats but knowing that our mortgage will be paid off quicker and in full helps and we also have limited savings. Again all this in thanks to dh.
He has spreadsheets too. He also acknowledges that I'm the one who gets all the bargains. I knew I had impressed him when I got a call from his snooty sister asking for help finding a large electrical item as cheap as possible. When I found one for less than half price with a few extras thrown in they converted to frugality too. I see everything as a challenge now. I can't buy it or do it cheap then we don't buy or do it. My mum tells me that my penny pinching embarrasses her and she walks away when I start bartering. It doesn't stop her getting me to do it though.
Get a small chest freezer off ebay/friday ad/freecycle. Use it to stash reductions in supermarkets. We have a tiny house/garden but have sacrificed quite a lot of the garden to house two freezers which house my Waitrose/Asda bargains. I only ever buy food that is on offer, own brand or reduced. Last night I went into asda as they wheeled out a huge trolley full of chicken breast packs reduced from £3.70 to 50p each. I was able to pick up 18 packs because I have enough room to store them.
If you have a DH/DC that insist that "brands taste better" do a blind taste test marking the bowl on the bottom before passing them round. DH preferred the own brand ketchup and beans despite having spent years saying that the heinz tasted better.
Get an allotment - cheap exercise, fresh air, a hobby and free food rolled into one
If you have a vocational college nearby get your hair done there. I cut my hairdressing costs from £70 every 6 weeks to £20 just by doing that. The finish is just as good - as they are students they take much more care and aren't trying to rush you through so they can get another customer in to up their earnings.
Oh Facebook too, check out pages for your favourite shops etc. there is a hairdressers I use for dds as its fairly cheap (child's age + £1) so I liked their Facebook page and they put a Facebook offer for £20 for cut & blow dry, I wouldn't have known otherwise and it was a great cut. The normal price was £42 and I just couldn't justify this.
I've also won a few competitions from signing up to newsletters/Facebook pages. (Win my wedding dress this way)
Won not win!
Ooh well done! I have won a few comps too. I find this site brilliant. Some of the stuff is odd but you'd be amazed at what geeks like to buy on Ebay. I won some headlights that sold for nearly £400! I've also had 3 baby food hampers, tickets to flower shows, toys, 2 prams, 2 birthing pools, gardening stuff and a golf caddy that was excitedly recieved by my fil.
I've also won a couple of things on Mumsnet.
Uh oh, thanks for the link. Never getting anything done tonight now
DH is quite the spender compared to me. It made a huge difference when I started using cash in jars to help budget out what is spent where. We have a fun jar too. If we need money for something I always raid DH's alcohol jar and my beauty jar before the fun jar is touched. If there is any money left over at the end of the week in the jars I deposit the money into our savings account.
With children it can be difficult. At this point nearly all of DD's clothes are 2nd hand. DH's family are horrified by this but we have saved thousands. My Dad picks up her clothes at car boot sales, often only paying GBP1 or 2 for a bag of outfits. Most of the stuff is M&S, Next etc. Toys are all gifts or hand downs from our friends who don't have storage space. We have one of those plastic slides in the garden for DD which I picked up for free through the local online discussion board. I don't have many clothes - 8 outfits for work and 3 nonwork outfits. It is so much cheaper and easier.
Drinking water rather than coffee/wine/etc (if only I could...)
Cycling rather than driving/bus/train (brrrrrrrrr)
Own-brand shampoo (ick)
Turning off the heating and/or wireless (apparently)
Ebay and charity shops for clothes, especially for kids (I agree, cheapie stuff from Primark etc is not good value as it wears out so quickly)
And yes, packed lunches. Being veggie works too, unless you like naice cheeses and obscure organic grainy things
Just stop buying STUFF - everyone now just seems to buy stuff all the time whether they actually need it or not. Nobody needs to buy clothes and makeup every month. Curb this kind of shopping.
Lower the thermostat but leave it on all the time it won't need to work so hard to keep the place warm (works for us anyway) so is cheaper.
Don't throw food away - only buy what you need then use/freeze leftovers.
We've just come out of a year or so of budgeting hard due to coming back to the UK without having sold our home overseas. Thankfully it's now sold and we can stop worry but I won't go back to my previously wasteful ways.
Try online catalogues for kids branded clothing. Very don't seem to be liked on MN but I find them very easy to deal with. I spent £64 last month and got ton's of stuff. Very have a superb sale section where I picked up jeans and hoodies from £2 a pop. I also got the dd's school summer dresses for 75p each and next years winter coats £5 each. Sure they may not have the sizes you need but its luck of the draw. I got dd a French Connection rain mac with Babushka dolls printed on it for £4 3 years ago. Its still going strong and she gets so many compliments on it. Oh and most catalogues do a generous discount with your first order. I got £50 off a £75 spend 3 years ago. I doubt they are still as generous. Again pay it off in full and don't go mad. Just stay in the sale section
just stop buying stuff.
I managed a year without buying any non-consumables - no clothes, books, newspapers, nothing apart from food, cleaning products and the occasional plant.
I did not do it for financial reasons but I saved a lot of money.

Bundaberg and beyond: Duty to disclose adverse events to patients
Madden, Bill & Cockburn, Tina L. (2007) Bundaberg and beyond: Duty to disclose adverse events to patients. Journal of Law and Medicine, 14(4), pp. 501-527.
Although much excellent work has been done in Australia and elsewhere to improve the safety and quality of health care provision, the practice of medicine is inherently risky – adverse events sometimes occur. In Australia, practical guidelines for the open disclosure of adverse events to patients have been developed and are being implemented. State and Territory medical boards have recently adopted Codes of Conduct which include disclosure provisions, although the Australian Medical Association's Code of Ethics does not yet contain express patient disclosure provisions. There is a dearth of authority concerning legal obligations to disclose known or suspected adverse events. Although many Australian jurisdictions have introduced statutory protection for those who apologise or express regret to patients following an adverse event, there is no corresponding express statutory disclosure obligation, unlike in some parts of the United States. The Bundaberg experience illustrates the complex ethical, practical and legal issues which arise in this area.

Existance problem
I have a problem which i need some help with:
Does it exists variables x,y,z so that the system
a1*x + b1*y + c1*z + d1 >= 0
a2*x + b2*y + c2*z + d2 >= 0
an*x + bn*y + cn*z + dn >= 0
is fullfilled?
A way to geometrically interpret the problem is that each equation
defines a subspace of R3, "sliced out" by a plane, and the equation
system is the intersection of all subspaces, and is that intersection
an empty set or not!?
Another way of putting it: does it exist a point (x,y,z) that lies on
the "front" side of all planes?

What would be your dream final Strikeforce show
Strikeforce is coming to an end and great news we get four title fights for the final card..bad news the challengers are <ahem> less than amazing.
Gilbert Melendez vs Pat Healy
Luke Rockhold vs Lorenz Larkin
Nate Marquardt vs Tarec Saffadine
Daniel Cormier vs One of those 1980's Ultimate Warrior wrestlebuddies or something of that sort
But lets say you get to book the final show and setup any card you wish to give Strikeforce the vaya con dios it deserves.
First off. Awesome thread. I'm bout to leave work so I'll do this super fast.
Gilbert Melendez vs Eddie Alvarez- if it's a 1 and done, why not?
Luke Rockhold vs Jacare- They are the 2 best SF MWs.
Daniel Cormier vs Frank Mir- Would be a good win for Dan.
Nate Marquardt vs Jorge Santiago- he is moving to WW anways and is the most well rounded fighter they have to make it competitive IMO.
Roger Gracie vs Tim Kennedy
Keith Jardine vs Robbie Lawler
Melendez vs Thomson 4. I thought Josh won the last fight personally and think he is still the stiffest test availavle for Gilbert.
Marquardt vs Kazuo Misaki
Roger Gracie vs Jacare
Rockhold vs Larkin.
Mousasi vs Mike Kyle
Pat Healy vs Masdival
My Dream Final Card
Main Event - Jacare Souza vs Luke Rockhold - this is the closest title fight you can have so this seems like a no brainer.
Co-Main Event - Nick Diaz vs Nate Marquardt - apparently Nate Marquardt has a belt, I want Diaz to come back and take it from him.
Gilbert Melendez vs Josh Thompson IV - it's a legacy fight but it isn't the legacy fight of Strikeforce.
Daniel Cormier vs Hershel Walker - if Cormier gets an exhibition match at the very least set him up with the highest profile can he can get.
Pre-Lims would all be UFC Contract fights and Exhibition matches with special opponents
Eddie Alvarez vs Pat Healy
Roger Gracie vs Patrick Cote
Tim Kennedy vs Keith Jardine
KJ Noons vs Leonard Garcia
Julie Kedzie vs Sarah Kaufman
Jorge Masvidal vs Caros Fodor

I'm gradually developing a new peeve: Fruit-infused water.
Somehow or other, it's become popular to chop up bits of fruit, put it in ice water, let the fruit decompose just a bit into the water, and serve it to people as if they want their water flavored that way.
As I understand it, the point is that the water have a subtle taste of strawberry, melon, cucumber, or whatever it is you've thrown into the water. But people don't know how to do subtle. So they throw half a pound of fruit into the water—sometimes jumbled up, as if that makes it any better—and add a little sugar. This makes it taste like a really weak ade, like limeade with way too much water in it, or cherryade where the kids only had five cherries and figured they'd stretch the fruit as far as it could go. But it's neither ade nor water. It's some sad hybrid, and I don't want it.
Ah, but if someone's made it, they didn't have a pitcher of water on the side. Their tainted water is the water. And they're a little put out that you don't want their fruity water. After all, it's only just a little mango, or kiwi, or watermelon they're floating in it. Why, you can hardly taste it. (Which begs the question, "So what was the point in adding it?") But of course I can taste it, which is why I want water.
It never used to be any trouble to ask for only water.
Anywho. You wanna make fruit-infused water, go for it. Have fun. Get creative: Throw a chopped tomato and a sprig of basil in a pitcher of water. Somebody oughta like it. Not me, but somebody. But don't forget to provide actual water on the side, for those of us who like our water without pulp.

PLEASANTON, Calif. — Safeway's Lucerne brand cow is the face of the company's eighth annual Lucerne: The Art of Dairy art contest. Safeway chose nine student finalists whose life-size fiberglass cows stand to win one of them a $30,000 grand prize.
According to Safeway, the contest joins nutrition with artistic talent and ingenuity, but it is also a way for the company to engage shoppers via the contest's website, where the public is invited to vote for their favorite cows. Voting will continue through Friday, May 17.
Safeway is giving potential voters some additional incentive to vote. Every 100,000th voter will receive a $100 Safeway gift card, up to the one millionth voter. Furthermore, Safeway is inviting the public to tweet a picture of their favorite Lucerne product from now through May 17 with hashtag #artofdairy, along with the reason they love that product, for a chance to win one of 10 Safeway gift cards valued at $100 each.
Since the inception of the Art of Dairy contest in 2005, Lucerne has contributed more than $373,000 to schools, teachers and students. This year, more than 6,400 entries were received from schools across the country.
In May, Safeway's YouTube page will chronicle the artistic process of each of the finalists. The finalist cows will be on display in stores, and winners will be announced in early June.
The contest winners will share approximately $46,000 in prizes with their art teachers and their schools' art programs. The grand prize winner will receive $20,000 for his or her school's art department, plus $5,000 each for the winner and teacher. The first prize winner receives $5,000 for his or her school's art department, plus $2,500 each for the student and teacher. In addition, one honorable achievement winner and teacher will each receive $1,000. The remaining six finalists will receive $500 gift cards. Plus, the high school that sent in the most entries per capita won $1,000 as part of the Teacher's Incentive Contest. This year's winner, Kearny High School of San Diego, Calif., took the prize with an impressive entry submission rate of almost 8%.
The Art of Dairy 2013 finalists are Gissella M., Weber Institute, Stockton, Calif.; Hagen A., Northwest Career and Technical Academy, Las Vegas, Nev.; Rachel R., Sehome High School, Bellingham, Wash.; Sierra N., Sandy High School, Sandy, Ore.; Kayla A., Northwest Christian School, Phoenix, Ariz.; Yul J., La Veta High School, La Veta, Colo.; Melissa P., Tinley Park High School, Tinley Park, Ill.; Riley K., Loudoun Valley High School, Purcellville, Va.; and Nhung (Julie) L., South Grand Prairie High School, Grand Prairie, Texas.
Safeway operates 1,641 stores in the United States and western Canada.

What are Subqueries?
Subqueries are queries within a query. This sounds odd however a query can be used to return a subset of data that can be used by the parent query for a further breakdown. There are many different reasons and ways to handle subqueries. It is important to understand how and where they can be used but it is also necessary to understand that there are times that a subquery is not necessary. It all depends on how complicated the query is and if two dissimilar queries are necessary to connect data. Subqueries are normally placed in either the FROM or the WHERE clauses depending on requirement and usage. Using a query in the FROM clause means that SQL will treat it like it was a table. Using it in the WHERE clause it is treated as an array and must be used with the IN operator. The following is an example of each:
|SQL Syntax
|SELECT t1.* FROM table1 AS t1 JOIN table2 AS t2WHERE t1.field1 < 100
AND t2.field1 < 100
AND t2.field2 = t1.field2
|SELECT t1.* FROM table1 AS t1JOIN ( SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE field1 < 100
) AS sub2 ON t1.field2 = sub2.field2
WHERE t1.field1 < 100
|SELECT * FROM table1WHERE table1.field1 < 100 AND table1.field2 IN (
SELECT field2 FROM table2 WHERE field1 < 100
All three queries do exactly the same thing, with a few differences. Because of the way they are written all three queries have the exact same result set. The difference is how they are processed by the system. SQL does not execute top to bottom like it is read. In fact SQL starts with the FROM then handles all JOINs followed by the WHERE and finally returns the SELECT. Because of this order of operations each of the queries is handled differently on the system.
The first query is the format that has been discussed previously. In this method SQL will link table1 and table2 directly through the JOIN statement. Then filter the results in the WHERE clause and return table1's values. This is the strait forward approach and is the most commonly used.
The second is also commonly used since it allows the DBA to use a query subset which will then be used as a table or a view, which is a predefined subquery. However, unlike the first query the subquery is executed first then it is joined to table1. Finally the WHERE clause is executed and the results are returned per the SELECT clause.
The third is not as common however it can be quite useful in specific applications. In this case all of the normal JOINs are handled and then during the WHERE clause the subquery is executed and the result is used to filter the results prior to returning the result set in the SELECT clause.
How are they used?
It is important to understand what SQL does when information is joined to understand the usage of subqueries. For example if there are 10 tables each with 10 fields and all of the tables are joined together the database would have 100 fields that it needs to keep track of for each row. In this case there are now 100 fields in each row but there could be hundreds of rows by the time the 10th table is added to the first row from the first table, this is because of the way tables are associated. In order to make the dataset more manageable the DBA will use a subquery or multiple subqueries in order to limit the associations.
The example of a transaction history is a case that a single record could have a large amount of records in the return result. If the standard transaction has 10 entries in the history table but the account that it belongs to has 10 transactions that means that by traditional joining each account would have 100 rows before the data is filtered by the WHERE clause. The usage of subqueries minimizes this because some of the data could be filtered in advance and then the smaller result is returned to the parent for further manipulation. An example of this in the traditional joining might be:
FROM users AS u
JOIN transactions AS t ON u.id = t.user_id
JOIN history AS h ON t.id = h.transaction_id
WHERE u.id = @user_id
AND h.note LIKE 'FINAL%'
A normal system might have 1,000 user accounts and if each account actually has 100 transactions with the standard 10 history entries per transaction then this query would have then the table would have a million rows before it is filtered. But it is also important to know that each row has 30 fields because all of the tables have 10 each. That means that the unfiltered result would have 30 million fields that will need to be filtered by the where clause. This is a lot of data to filter out and can slow down the system. However by using a subquery it is possible to organize the dataset into smaller chunks of information that is easier to handle. The following code does this.
FROM users AS u
JOIN transactions AS t ON u.id = t.user_id
FROM history AS h2
WHERE h2.note LIKE 'FINAL%'
) AS h ON t.id = h.transaction_id
WHERE u.id = @user_id
With the movement of the history table into the subquery the size of the data set is greatly reduced. Originally there were 1 million rows before the where clause. However since the history table only has a single note that is marked with the 'FINAL' string the table will not join every entry but only the ones from the original request which means that only 100 thousand rows would be returned and filtered by the where clause. However, this can be improved even more by adjusting the query just a bit more. Sometimes the query may get larger but the potential results get smaller when handling this process. With a simple two or three table example the potential is not that high for requiring this optimization however when combining dozens of tables that could have thousands of results the usage of subqueries becomes more important.
One final way to handle subqueries for similar results is to have multiple subqueries inset into a larger parent query. In the above example there are only three tables. However, it is possible that there is one request that needs to go to the histories table but another that has to go into the transactions. In this case the history is for the full account not only transactions. Because both tables could be quite large it is possible that the data set can grow very large quickly. However, by breaking the tables into smaller groups it is possible to retrieve the requested information quickly through multiple subqueries. The following is an example of this:
SELECT u.id AS user_id, *
FROM users AS u
JOIN transactions AS t ON u.id = t.user_id
WHERE u.id = @user_id
) AS sub1
SELECT h2.*
FROM users AS u2
JOIN history AS h2 ON u2.id = h2.user_id
WHERE u.id = @user_id
AND h2.note LIKE 'FINAL%'
) AS sub2 ON sub1.user_id = sub2.user_id
The simplified example breaks down the complex interactions into smaller blocks. For only three tables the usage of multiple subqueries is not very useful however if the DBA has to combine a dozen tables in several different ways the data result could be very large. However, using this method like the other subquery methods it is simplified and the individual datasets are much smaller and easier for the database to work with.

Firm growth in multinational corporate groups

This paper formulates an econometric model of firm growth that explicitly accounts for interdependence of firm growth rates within multinational corporate networks. We apply a recently introduced IV-estimation procedure for peer group effects to directly test for growth spillovers within multinational corporate networks. Using European firm level data, our estimation results indicate negative spillovers within horizontally organized multinational networks, with this effect being most pronounced for corporate groups producing in a larger number of different countries. In contrast, they are positive for vertically organized multinational corporate groups. In the former case, the spillovers lead to more within-network heterogeneity in the firm growth processes and slower average size adjustments. In the latter case, multinational corporate groups as a whole are more stable and, on average, members adjust their size faster. Finally, the robustness analysis demonstrates that the growth spillover effects in purely domestic corporate groups differ from their multinational counterparts and shows that our baseline results are not driven by spurious correlation of individual firm growth rates.

We had such fun on our walk this past weekend, so....by popular demand! This is an ON YOUR OWN walk that will happen every second sunday. Consider this a low stress walk in an industrial area with very few people and virtually no other dogs (but it's always a good idea to carry some kind of deterrent on you like spray shield to ward off loose dogs). RSVP for dogs only.
These are walks without a host (a chako volunteer may or may not show up to walk his or her own dog); because we do lots of rescue and other events on the weekends, just remember that you are likely to be on your own. It's just a time and a place for you all to get together and responsibly walk your dogs). I recommend that whoever shows up wait about five minutes after the start time in case some other folks are running a few minutes behind (but try to show up on time for everyone's sake!) :) Walkers: always check the RSVP list for the walk you are planning to attend the night before or morning of to make sure others are going to be there (if you want to walk in a group-otherwise of course you can walk alone!).

The Princess: A Medley: Ask Me No More - Poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ask me no more: the moon may draw the sea;
The cloud may stoop from heaven and take the shape,
With fold to fold, of mountain or of cape;
But O too fond, when have I answer'd thee?
Ask me no more.
Ask me no more: what answer should I give?
I love not hollow cheek or faded eye:
Yet, O my friend, I will not have thee die!
Ask me no more, lest I should bid thee live;
Ask me no more.
Ask me no more: thy fate and mine are seal'd:
I strove against the stream and all in vain:
Let the great river take me to the main:
No more, dear love, for at a touch I yield;
Ask me no more.

EMERGING MARKETS-Currencies shed gains as investors digest U.S. jobs data
By Asher Levine and Sujata Rao
SAO PAULO/LONDON Feb 7 (Reuters) - Emerging market currencies pared gains on Friday as traders reconsidered the impact of January's U.S. payroll numbers on the Federal Reserve's plans to reduce its monetary stimulus program.
U.S. employers hired far fewer workers than expected in January and job gains for the prior month were barely revised up, data showed on Friday.
Traders initially saw the data as evidence that growth in the world's largest economy is losing steam, driving emerging market currencies higher on a bet that the Fed would be less likely to further trim its bond-buying program.
But a closer look at the figures led many to shift course.
"After we looked deeper into the numbers we found the positive details overshadowed the negative headline," said Michael Woolfolk, a senior currency strategist at BNY Mellon in New York, citing data showing strong employment gains in the household survey from which the jobless rate is derived.
"If the US economy has indeed slowed this winter, it is first of all modest," he said.
Brazil's real closed nearly unchanged from Thursday after having reached its strongest level in over two weeks earlier in the session. The Mexican and Chilean pesos were also unable to hold onto gains.
The Turkish lira reversed gains against the dollar late in the session. Standard & Poor's downgraded Turkey's credit rating outlook to "negative" from "stable" on Friday, citing risks of a hard economic landing. Continuación...

A top contender going into October's Ford Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, Missoula's Linsey Corbin finished this year's race in a respectable but nevertheless disappointing 11th place, trailing winner Chrissie Wellington's record-setting time of 8:54:02 by 50 minutes. After her fifth-place finish last year, Corbin had hoped to make the podium in 2009, but things didn't go her way. However, Corbin finished her season with a strong second place at Ironman Arizona in Tempe, setting high expectations for next year's charge back to Hawaii.
The race in Hawaii was a struggle. Outpaced by the lead female swimmers, Corbin found herself paddling in what she calls "no-man's land." Then, on the bike leg, she was slapped with a four-minute penalty for failing to drop back quickly enough when passed by a competitor. Corbin, a stickler for the rules, remained unfazed. The real trouble started during the marathon.
Corbin's typical race has her trailing on the swim and steady on the bike. Her moment comes when she blows past competitors on foot, but at Kona, Corbin never found the burst of speed she needed to compete at the top of the field.
"In that long of a race there are always things that you look back on and think, 'I could have done this, this and this better,'" says Corbin. "So, you find yourself signed up for another race looking to improve."
After her disappointment in Hawaii, Corbin scrapped plans to race in the XTERRA and Ironman 70.3 World Championships in favor of tackling Ironman Arizona on November 22. She had something to prove.
"I was a bit disappointed with how my day panned out," she says. "I figured I would throw my hat into the ring and race one more Ironman to end the year."
Corbin ran her trademark race at Tempe, coming up from behind in the marathon to post a second-place finish, barely trailing winner Samantha McGlone (9:09:19), and setting a personal Ironman record of 9:13:46. If she'd gone that fast in Kona, Corbin would have easily made the podium.
"I am really happy with how the day ended up," she says. "I'm already looking forward to 2010."

Four storeys under a derelict site on the corner of Tottenham Court Road and Grafton Way, work will soon start on a high-tech medical facility that promises to change the lives of thousands of young Londoners. Empty since a cinema was knocked down many decades ago, come the spring the excavation will begin on a deep hole that can host the NHS's most advanced new machine — an enormous particle accelerator weighing hundreds of tons.
Once built, it will allow British patients to benefit from proton beam therapy on home soil for the first time, a targeted form of radiotherapy that minimises the damage of surgery to children. Notably, it is the type of treatment requested by, and denied to, the parents of five-year-old cancer patient Ashya King, who then took their son out of hospital and to Spain last week.
The £125 million facility will comprise five floors above ground and four floors below, linking up with University College London Hospital's tunnel network. Deep underground, the massive particle accelerator will be connected to a powerful treatment beam that will supply three or four treatment rooms, where patients will be treated by doughnut-shaped machines. The whole facility will cover 25,000 sq m, including state-of-the-art operating theatres and patient beds.
Proton beam therapy (PBT) is a cutting-edge treatment that targets tumours very precisely and can cause less damage to surrounding tissue than conventional radiotherapy. It zaps tumours with a beam of protons, instead of X-rays, and is used to treat hard-to-reach conditions, such as spinal tumours and cancers in the brain, and is favoured for treating children because X-ray radiotherapy can be particularly damaging to their tissue, which is still developing.
Approximately one per cent of UK cancer patients could be suitable for proton therapy, according to estimates, but far fewer than that currently receive it. Clearly it is not a silver bullet, and because of the relatively small number of children who get the very rare childhood tumours in question, Cancer Research UK says "it is hard to compare survival with people who've been treated in other ways".
"This will bring the UK into the forefront of provision of this kind of care," says Dr Yen-Ching Chang, UCLH's clinical lead for PBT, who has been involved in the project since it began six years ago. She says the prospect of its opening in 2018 is "hugely exciting", describing it as "a huge step forward for the patients we are able to treat". It will work in partnership with another new facility being built in Manchester.
The Kings decided to take Ashya out of hospital and to Spain after being told that he would not be referred for the therapy, which is currently only available to around 100 British children a year, who receive it in US hospitals. There is a well-established NHS England pathway that sends children abroad when a child is diagnosed with a tumour that doctors think would be suitable for proton therapy. But some families whose children were not recommended for the treatment have raised the money to have it done privately, with the Proton Therapy Centre in Prague charging between £60,000 and £65,000. The NHS has sent 370 children abroad for the treatment since the programme started in 2008, with 99 going last year (as well as 23 adults) — but the new centres in London and Manchester will treat 1,500 children and adults a year.
Doctors in Southampton have said proton beam therapy is unlikely to provide Ashya with any additional benefit, but won't now object to his parents paying for it to be done in Prague if a treatment plan can be agreed upon.
Understandably, Chang does not want to comment on Ashya's case, and warns that parents searching for treatments online should seek the advice of doctors, who can give guidance. "I think there is always going to be a demand from parents for the very best treatment for their child," she says. "It is very important that internet research is done with recourse to a professional."Reuse content

This product is brilliant.
I'm 15 years old and have been cursed to the hell of using a Radioshack firestarter for the better part of my life (so far, heh), but I just received this iron in the mail and I would highly recommend it to any other young person who is interested in electronics. It makes soldering fun and productive. It lets you start soldering in under one minute instead of after 15, solder small smd parts with ease, and hack into small control lines on modern electronics solidly. Compared to $10 irons this thing is amazing and well worth the money.
I'm a highschool kid, and will be in school at that time, but it is ok :D Moms are very accommodating when their child asks them to advance their education in a big way for (besides shipping) free.
The whole thing is thoroughly awesome. Big inspiration to a bunch of kids out here in rural Pennsylvania.

In a very vague and unclear tweet, Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley indicated he may be returning to his former team less than a day after meeting the Pittsburgh Steelers and they apparently offered him a contract at that time.
Fantasy Analysis:
This would be big news, although it remains unclear what is actually going on. There has been speculation about undrafted rookie TE Richard Rodgers possibly being a breakout star this offseason. There was brief hype surrounding former Oregon Ducks TE Colt Lyerla. The incumbent from last season, TE Andrew Quarless, also was a factor. It's all a moot point once someone officially confirms this early speculation.

Good value, great location Not great breakfast as we don`t like pancakes
It was close to Bryce & had a decent restaurant next door. It was a basic accomodation, no comfort, no frills.
Cute place. It's an older style motel room with obviously aging furniture and bathroom fixtures, but it had everything we needed on our one-night stay on the way to Bryce Canyon. It's definitely the best value in the area as it's only a 15 minute drive from Bryce Canyon for much cheaper than the options in Bryce itself. I recommend the Pizza Place for dinner - they have an excellent dough recipe that apparently takes 3 days to make! There is no mini fridge
Fine hotel. Gives a good feeling! -
clean, comfortable, friendly staff, good restaurant next door
Was lucky to make reservation the day before. Only about seven miles from Bryce Canyon park. Motels nearer were 2-3 Times more in price. we just needed a clean place with wi-fi connection. Not sure what else was available.
Friendly staff, good enough for one night during a roundtrip. 15 min drive to the entrance of Bryce Canyon We had a non smoking room, but it smelled like someone had smoked in the room.
My stay was very comfortable. The ice machine didn't work.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nicely furnished and very clean and locally produced natural bath products were supplied. Overall a very pleasant place to stay.
Very clean and comfortable. Close to Bryce Canyon National Park. Nothing to add.
Coffee was not very tasty in the room
We looked the country and old west vibe of the hotel. It was a great location close to Bryce Canyon and had its own little town with shops and food. We did the rodeo across the street which was fun and loved the shuttle train back. This was a great value and would def recommend to anyone going to Bryce. Nothing
Perfect for sunrise access to Bryce Musty room long walk to main hotel/store
The location is super close to Bryce Canyon. The free shuttle (highly recommended) stops in front. The indoor pool and jacuzzi are nice. It's interesting to be in a unique property with a long history. It's got a cool western vibe throughout. Check in and check out was easy. The stairwell in the main building reeks. The pool water is about 5 degrees too cold for comfort. The furniture and linens are dated. The noise above us on from the third floor was annoying. The grocery store is crazy expensive and fairly limited. I'd probably try the other Best Western property across the street, which is much newer.
Rug was all torn up. It was loud and two maids knocked on my door just after 9am and even after they knew I was still trying to sleep a bit longer, they were very loud outside and played loud music.
price and location food at restaurants was terrible.Television remote functionality was bad
Location is perfect. Room was not completely clean. Very noisy refrigerator, noise from upstairs walking in room. Room next door you could hear when they turned on the water.
Check in was a breeze. Lots of shops and things to do on-site My room, although clean and comfortable, seemed a little out dated. Extremely long line for dinner.
Located at entrance to Bryce National Park
Would stay again :)
Close to park. Big rooms. Front desk personnel were shockingly devoid of personal connections to guests. No interest or ability to answer questions of a first timer. And there was no one else in line. I have never experienced a greater lack of interest.
Great location and great availability on off season. Mini fridge was loud and made noise all night. Fighting Feral cats all over was disconcerting. Light in bathroom slow to come on.
I booked a king size room from getaroom recommended on Kayak. Received verification of king bed. After checking in, I went to the room and found it was 2 queens. Went back to front desk and was told they were sold out, did not have any king beds and do not honor request made through 3rd parties. I went back to my room and searched the availability of rooms and they were not sold out and King beds were available. They lied to me. I went back down stairs and the shift manager Mike (a girl) told me that what she meant was standard King beds were sold out. They had King rooms that were an upgrade from standard kings but I couldn't have one of them. I was, at the least, a little upset because I had a reservation for a standard King that they would not honor. See above about room type. The facility was nice but their practice of giving you whatever room is available if you don't book directly through them is unacceptable. I use kayak, Expedia and trip advisor a great deal and have never had this problem.
Breakfast Fitness room
Fast check-in, clean rooms, and a great breakfast at a really good price.
after a long day of hiking, this hotel had the best bed and shower. Also, great breakfast in the am.
Rooms were clean. Poor views considering the beauty of the area. Staff seemed uninterested.
The room was thoroughly clean as promised Staff and manager were confused over Kayak reservation. They were not very polite. The sanitation on the breakfast bar is questionable.
Best of the rooms with all amenities. Fabulous Breakfast. Perfectly located, just out of the main entrance of the Park gate. Wifi - The internet provided sucks !!! Too slow :(
Location was great. Quiet. Good breakfast, including Cholula at every table! Room was clean and spacious. If you don't get to breakfast until 9am you might miss some of the selection. Staff could be friendlier. Needs an indoor hot tub. Elevator was slow and heater in the room was pretty loud. Beds were pretty uncomfortable (lumpy). Extended breakfast hours for New Year's Day would be nice. Shower drain was slow to drain/partly clogged.
Complimentary breakfast was awesome. Best bacon ever. Location was also great; easy to get to Bryce for sunrise if you wish.
All good. Is there an easier way to find my Best Western rewards #? Can't it just be linked to my name and address? Can BW send an electronic card to my phone that I can flash to the desk clerk? Come on people, this is the electronic age. Please make it easier to find. Thanks!!
Spacious room and great breakfast buffet. Walls and ceilings were very thin. We could hear everyone talking and moving around in adjacent rooms. It sounded like there were elephants stampeding above us all night. Difficult to sleep.
The location to Bryce National Park was great and the accommodations were very comfortable and looked new
Spacious, well cared for cabins in a quaint, small village close to the entrance to Bryce Canyon. Nothing
Great and helpful staff. They gave helpful tips about finding places to eat in a season when everything shuts down early
Super eager, friendly, courteous and helpful in keepers- all you could ask for really. Good breakfast choices, great advice on local hikes, clean and comfortable rooms. Patio chairs are a nice touch. Everything was great- no critique.
The cabins were a nice change from a hotel and a cute idea. It was ok that there was no closet, but some hooks on the wall to hang coats or clothes would have been nice. Also, the shower head was at an awkward angle. An adjustable one would have been better, or one directly overhead. All in all, we enjoyed it very much.
The room was clean and spacious, with two king-size beds. Staff was very friendly. Free ice for the ice chest was included. And it was unexpectedly environmentally responsible, with recycling and ground-fed heating and cooling. It's hard to fault this hotel, yet it feels somewhat overpriced for its location, being a good 15-20 minute drive from Bryce Canyon.
Nice room, clean but dates furnishings. Helpful clerk on checking and a light breakfast was included. Apparently I didn't pay enough attention to the map. We were touring Bryce Canyon and couldn't get a room there but thought this would be close enough. The drive was workable but not preferable. I will need to be more attentive next time!
A pretty standard rural motel. It was clean and comfortable on our trip to Bryce Canyon. Nothing to dislike. It was as expected.
Bryce Canyon Resort is centrally located and close to Bryce National Park, Grand Staircase Escalante, red canyon and other cool places to explore. We were there to hike the area and did not want to spend too much on a hotel and not have to drive too much. This was perfect for that. The room was spacious and the manager guy was very friendly. The laundry facility was cheaper here than at other places. The restaurant was AWFUL. Do yourself a favor and save money by just going to subway. The room could have been cleaner (there were long black hairs in the bedding, black mold and pink fungus in the shower and luggage tags stuck on the comforter). This is a simple motel and if you are looking for something reasonably priced in the area and centrally located, but not fancy then this place is perfect. If we were going on another hiking place in the area we would consider staying here again.
Great customer service, clean, cheap, convenient location Nothing
NEAR BRYCE CANYON ACCESS no WIFI ACCESS
Location was close to the Canyons They should be ashamed of themselves to hold themselves out as a resort, truly deceptive advertising. Pretty mush like a joke from a Chevy Chase movie. It was a run down joke
It was quiet, relaxing, staff was quite friendly and accommodating. Lack of WiFi in the rooms, and low cell phone reception. The room was fair in cleanliness. I tried to find additional plug in for two C paps, and found candy wrapper, and dirt behind the bedside table, so it was not vacuumed there. This bothered me, because I am OCD and focused on what else might have been missed. The rest of the room seemed fine. Our room was under stairs, and so parking was a bit inconvenient to our room.
Pleasant, good value. Close to Bryce Park entrance. Nice woodsy lobby with free coffee, fireplace (but they didn't have a fire), couches, and internet; sort of like a big living room to hang out in. Two sinks in bathroom. Internet ONLY in lobby.
Location, restaurant was good. Room was very dated, noisy as next to employee area, no wifi, few facilities, and pricey for the accommodations.
Very close to Bryce Canyon National Park Old building, only one place to eat in town, room not designed for comfort. No breakfast included. Heater did not work well.
Spacious rooms, clean and well located For the price, could have thrown in a free breakfast
Squeaky floors. Would have hate to have been on bottom floor.
It was so nice being close to the park and to have an inexpensive option because we were not in the room much. The room was old but very clean and comfortable and we had access to amenities in the sister hotels if we wanted. We did take advantage of the nice hot tub at Ruby's Inn one evening to soak our sore muscles, the temperature was perfect and we felt great after. We requested a refrigerator and microwave and our room had them! The facility was old, having to go up the stairs.
Good location to national park. Clean and comfy.
We liked the cleanliness, service at the front desk, location. Very pleasant stay averall!
Room was clean and comfortable Furniture looked old and dated
Location, room was clean and comfortable, nice staff - checked in pretty late and they gave me good recommendations. They don't have any facilities within the hotel - you have to cross the road to the Ruby if you want to dine, laundry, etc.
Proximity to Bryce
It was clean enough to stay overnight. Floors were very squeaky in the bathroom area.
Great location, great value. Clean rooms, very pleased overall. Paving parking lot at time of my stay (not a big deal)
Close to Bryce Canyon and clean No
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Loved the atmosphere and the fact that it wasn't close to the big resorts. Although it was only a short drive to get to Bryce Canyon. About 4 miles. We would have liked a refrigerator and possibly a microwave to reheat leftovers. Shampoo would have been nice too! Although I had a little in my bag from the last place we stayed on our trip.
Convenient to national park; easy parking; clean; friendly staff; GREAT restaurant; very comfortable bed; made reservation the night before very easily No hot water in VERY cold winter night; Wifi did not work (very important because of poor cell service)
Location is good. Staff is not nice, even for a standard motel. feels like since you have paid then you just get what you have. No wifi. Not recommended if you have any other options.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Everything worked and the room was clean. Scary electrical setup for bed lamps with cords coming out of metal enclosures in a location that could easily produce fraying of the wires. Shower head was chest high. The staff was not exceptional in any way, but they were ok.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Clean and well maintained. Understand that the location is somewhat 'remote' and your choices will be limited.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location was fine. Restaurant on site. very quiet. Could use an update,but realize locations around national parks have this problem unless you want to pay a small fortune for a room.

Clearly Twilight is not a kid movie so if you are looking for family fun may I recommend 'Happy Feet Two'? I mean me personally I'd wait for 'The Muppets' next week but go ahead and shake a tail feather with some penguins.

So just to keep anyone who is interested up to date (is there anyone out there???)
I got the carbs out and cleaned them and everything was a success. Until I noticed that the diaphragm slide wouldn't open all the way up on one side. So I opened the top to check out the rubber diaphragm. Apparently I got some carb cleaner up in there because the rubber diaphragm was phucked up...basically it lost its stability. So looks like I have to get a new one of those (and apparently they cost a bit, like $25 or something like that.)
Other than that little fiasco this job hasn't been to bad, of course I've yet to put the carbs back in so we'll make the final judgement after that is said and done.

"It's Raining, Raining here this Morning." This line from an old song fits the condition in the Ozarks this Monday morning. A very welcome rain is coming down as I write and I hear there has been a lot of wind damage in Springfield and Lebanon.
Charlie and I were talking yesterday of the dry weather pattern that is not normal for our usually two wettest months. Neither of us could remember it being this dry this early.
So most everyone is giving thanks for the rain and trusting that we will get more and that the drought is broken.
I haven't been feeling well and so haven't been out and about to gather much news.
I did get to club Wednesday and to a beautiful outdoor wedding Friday evening. Kasey and Terry's daughter, Natasha and Matt became husband and wife in the yard at their home with many well wishers in attendance. Everyone had a good time and the bride was beautiful and the groom handsome. Matt had only been home two days from over a week-long stay in the hospital. He had a wreck on his way to work one morning early and only a couple of miles from home. He was ejected from his vehicle which was totaled and luckily no broken bones. He is still very sore, but with only bruising and scratches visible. There were many prayers spoken for him and we thank the Lord Jesus for him being alive.
Burr has been canning green beans and pickled beets. I helped a little by having the dish washer full of clean jars and I did help get the beans ready and then watched the pressure canner until done. So I have been useful this week.
I have canned hundreds of jars of vegetables and fruit in my time and it is pleasurable to be involved once again.
Kasey and I canned his garden produce last year from his first garden which I urged him to grow. He was reluctant, but got involved and liked the experience. He couldn't wait to get his garden in this year and it is beautiful. Of course he's had to water as have Burr and Ruth and Karen and Greg. So I take credit for Kasey's gardening addiction.
Greg and Karen, Burr and Ruth and Charlie have been bringing good things from their gardens and I have had two ripe tomatoes from mine with plenty of salad fixings. Kasey brought cucumbers and peppers yesterday.
Joseph Taber celebrated his 15th birthday with his Dad and friends a little early Sunday. They, together with Rick Allen, Ferlin Rowe and Chandler went to Lebanon to a 3D (animal targets) bow shoot. Joe's birthday is June 13 and he will have treats then with Mom, Donna and Sis, Jessi.
Jessica spent time with friends in Ozark the first of the week.
Greg and Karen Evans visited with Stan and Marsha Collins one day and got more chickens. Hopefully they have a varmit proof pen and can raise these. Something killed all their laying hens, but the rooster escaped and he has been very lonely.
No one has given me news so I'll got this mailed when Nicole goes by the post office. She had reminded me that Chuck Spurlock had missed my news. Nicole goes to Chuck's each day for breakfast making and chores before she comes to my house. I always look forward to Mondays because Nicole tells me about her church services and her weekend. Sounds like she has a wonderful church family. I appreciate Chuck reading my items.
Until next week, be of good cheer and make someone else happy.

Genie Francis is Returning to 'General Hospital'
Luke and Laura, even if you've never watched a soap opera, you probably know who Luke and Laura are. The actress who played Laura, Genie Francis is returning to 'General Hospital,' in time for the shows 50th anniversary.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the Emmy-winning actress will be returning to the ABC soap. Francis just signed a deal to reprise her role as Laura Spencer, she'll return to the set later this month with a return on air for February 11th.
Anthony Geary, the actor who has portrayed Luke Spencer since 1978, will be reunited with Genie Francis. The Luke and Laura wedding on 'General Hospital' in 1981 had 30 million viewers and is the highest rated hour in American soap opera history.
This continues the trend of longtime fan favorites returning to Port Charles. The show has recently welcomed back the characters of Anna Devane, Robert Scorpio, Heather Webber and Duke Lavery. It's also reflected in increased ratings. The latest ratings showed that just over 3 million people watched 'General Hospital' last week. That's their highest ratings in two years.
