great family vacation!
We really enjoyed our time spent at this lovely home! The owners have included every amenity and the location is fantastic! We'll be back, for sure!
As pictured
This condo is as pictured in the photographs and is lovely. We arrived late and the management was very organized with our info packet and key, which was left with security at the gate. The evening gate fellow is terrific - very welcoming and friendly. A very short walk to the beach -essentially just through the parking lot. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked each day of our stay. Instructions to use the tv are a bit complex, and in our case, they didn't work anyway because the cable box was out of service, however maintenance arrived quickly and sorted out a work-around for our short stay, which worked perfectly. When we booked our stay, they told us it was scheduled for a deep clean at that time and then moved those dates around to accommodate us. I asked if the unit was clean and I was assured that it was. Turns out that our only issue was the level of cleanliness, but keep in mind that we have very high standards. I got the feeling that it had been vacant for a long time before our stay because there was a layer of dust/grit on floors, counters, etc. My bare feet were dirty not long after arriving. We notified management in the morning and they sent housekeeping over to do the floors and offered to clean whatever else we wanted, but I had already wiped down the counters & stove, etc. There were light bulbs 'missing' from two lamps, but we bought some the evening we arrived and rectified that (we like brightly lit rooms). Only other issue was the long blond hairs I found (too often) ... on the towels and on the bedspread. Found these issues disappointing given that we paid a cleaning fee. The property is due for a deep clean, and I have no doubt that this management team will take care of this. As far as other reviewers comments about lack of supplies, there is a Dollar Tree and Publix just down the street to buy inexpensive dish soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, or whatever you need.

The Reset Book by Dahni: A Guide to Resetting the American Republic
The RESET book will challenge your traditional school-based American education by explaining why the U.S. government has operated under a doctrine of emergency - since 1933! Learn about how this 'legal fiction' has led to widespread abuse of power within the federal government and what everyday American citizens can do about it. Purchase a signed copy here or visit Amazon.com, iTunes, or Barnes & Noble for physical and e-book versions.
Wondering what 'legal fiction' is? Pick up the Reset book and learn how it impacts you.
'An UN-alien's Guide to Resetting Our Republic'
By Dahni
You may have been born here or are a citizen here, but not a single one of us live in the United States as was intended when the Constitution was ratified by the states in 1789! Does this sound bizarre, intriguing, even possible, or is this just another crazy sounding conspiracy theory? The author and satirist Mark Twain said,
"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't."
Families, businesses and governments cannot and do not operate or function the same way during a crisis or some emergency as they do under normal circumstances. The U.S. Constitution with two clauses makes provisions for such events. But ever since 1861 and specifically 1863, the federal government has been operating under the "doctrine of emergency."
"Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency....A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, [now 79] freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency....from, at least, the Civil War in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency."
Senate Report, 93rd Congress,November 19, 1973
In legal terms this is called, "legal fiction." It is legal because it proceeds from the Constitution, but it is fiction as no such national state of emergency exists! When we are sick, there are usually symptoms associated with this illness. There are many symptoms in our unhealthy republic. Many have tried and are trying to treat these symptoms which constantly grow and expand. But if the true cause can be eliminated, the symptoms will disappear. RESET the book, documents from public sources, the true cause, how it happened and when this change occurred in our republic. It can easily be understood with a newspaper. Imagine tomorrow morning there is a huge section of the front page cut out. Maybe there is a simple explanation. Perhaps there was a coupon on the other side for 75% off some item and someone cut this out before you opened the paper. RESET the book, finds the missing pages, shows the true cause and gives the solution as to HOW WE the People can reset our republic.
What others are saying about this book
"We need to reset our republic. I respect your resolve and hard work in accomplishing the task you set for yourself. I cannot imagine the effort that it must have taken to finish such a project."

Where Was The UCDD Board During Spending Spree?
By Phil Williams. CREATED Feb 28, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Who's responsible for all the wild spending at the Upper Cumberland Development District?
On Friday, the board suspended its longtime executive director and voted to report its own auditor for a possible state investigation.
But where was the board when all this was going on?
"It happened on their watch, and they should be held accountable for that," said Steve Brumfield, a Nashville community activist who's served on a dozen non-profit boards.
At Friday's meeting of the UCDD board, there were lots of questions about how executive director Wendy Askins was able to pour some much of the agency's money into that million-dollar Living the Dream house, as well as questions about how they could have missed it all.
"You never asked how is this money being spent?" NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Warren County Executive John Pelham.
"No, sir," he admitted.
Pelham not only sat on the UCDD board, he also served on the board of a non-profit corporation set up for Living the Dream, along with several other housing-related boards under the agency's umbrella.
"We would talk about the need there for housing," Pelham explained.
"But you never asked tough questions?" we asked.
"Well," he said, "we just never discussed -- the construction."
Brumfield said "that is the responsibility of the board." He added that if UCDD board members weren't watching the money, they weren't really doing their jobs.
"The reason you even form a board -- one of the reasons -- is that you want to say, well, this is who is on our board and they are looking over our shoulders -- and so if these are good people, then you know we are doing right with your money."
On Friday, Putnam County Executive Kim Blaylock, herself a former accountant, blamed UCDD auditor Tom Jones for failing to catch the misspending, even forcing a vote on whether Jones should be reported to the state.
But our investigation discovered the board had accepted Jones' audits -- even when they contained glaring mathematical errors.
"Is that something board members should have caught?" NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Brumfield.
"Absolutely," he insisted. "I mean, that's our job. That's our job. Now, not everybody on the board is a finance person. But that's the job of all the board."
Blaylock told NewsChannel 5 that she just looked at the bottom line and counted on the auditor to do his job.
"A CEO would just say, 'Wait a minute here!'" Brumfield exclaimed. "They (the numbers) don't add up."
But while board members may not have been watching the money, some traveled across the country with Askins to conferences at agency expense. Among the destinations: New Orleans, Washington, Chicago, San Diego, even Alaska.
"I always used those conferences to the best of my ability to promote our county," Pelham said.
The Warren County executive made several of those trips where the agency ran up some hefty tabs.
"There were some pretty big expenditures on some of these trips. Were you mindful of that?" we asked.
"Well, no, sir," Pelham said. "I mean, I know they would take care of our airfare and hotel rooms."
"Some pretty expensive dinners too?" we continued.
Pelham explained, "We would normally go out and have a meal, a nice meal, maybe one night on the trip, yes."
All the more reason, Steve Brumfield argued, that UCDD members should have asked how the money was being spent.
That's one of the questions that the lawyer hired by the board has promised to explore himself.
He told members on Friday that he'll not only report back on spending under Ms. Askins' watch, he'll also make recommendations on how they can be better stewards of the public's money.

It's hot outside, it's happy hour, and we're at a city beach where you can legally have an adult beverage -- but only on the boardwalk.
Drinking alcohol on New York City beaches is against the law. If you get caught by parks enforcement or police officers, you could get written up with a violation.
The NYPD told Fox 5 that officers patrol the beaches to make sure everyone is safe, as they do every beach season. If they see someone openly drinking alcohol, they may issue a violation. Contrary to a published report, cops do not randomly search bags and coolers, the NYPD said.
Attorney James Kousouros told Fox 5 that cops would need probable cause to search your coolers or bags.
The Parks Department reminds beach-goers that alcohol consumption is permitted at boardwalk vendors but not on the beaches.

Eyebrow raisers from the iPhone announcement
by John Moe // Posted: 06/08/10 11:20 AM
You may have heard a bit about the new iPhone yesterday, considering the news replaced oxygen as the most common thing in the air. Ars Technica has a good run down.
A few surprises I had yesterday:
Where were the computers? - As near as I can figure, Apple still does make home computers. I bought one recently myself. But they weren't mentioned at all yesterday. No new laptops, no updates to MacBook Air as rumored. Even the iPod got a mention in passing.
Google remains the default browser, Bing also brought on – Apple is going to play this as giving the user the most options, and that's a fair point. But Apple is very much at war with Google and its increasingly popular Android mobile device platform right now. Jobs praised Bing and Microsoft but did not kick Google off the iPhone or even move it out of number one position. As a result, a handful of MSFT loyalists may switch settings but it's mostly a Google experience.
Nothing on home entertainment – I get that it was iPhone's day but I was wondering if we'd hear about a cloud-based iTunes option or a rebrand/relaunch of Apple TV. Nope.
Netflix and the data plans – Jobs announced a free Netflix app (Android's getting one soon too) which means tons of streaming movies and TV on your iPhone. This is interesting in light of AT&T's new restricted data plans. You do a lot of Netflixing, that low use plan doesn't seem to cover you quite as well. Follow the money, my friends. Follow the money.

What matters from the WWDC?
by John Moe // Posted: 06/07/10 12:33 PM
Heck, I'm not sure. But as Jobs talks, I'm going to attempt to update this entry and figure it out.
As I said before, I think what it all might mean to AT&T and people hoping to have good coverage will be significant. But maybe that's because even though I live exactly halfway between the large cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, I often can't get phone coverage on my iPhone.
- 8500 native apps for iPad. 225,000 for iPhone.
- 5 million books for iPad downloaded in 65 days.
- You'll be able to make notes in iPad. Also place bookmarks and read PDFs.
- Jobs defends app store approval process. Not all that convincingly but at least he's talking about it in public. Doesn't seem to be addressing controversial apps.
- Netflix coming to iPhone for free this summer.
- Zynga bringing Farmville to iPhone. Scoff at Farmville at your own peril. It's huge.
- Guitar Hero too. Social/sharing elements being pushed.
- iPhone 4. Looks just like the leaked prototype. Stainless steel all around, glass front. 24% thinner than 3GS. "Integrated antennas for Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, all the cell stuff." - ars technica
- iPhone 4 has 4x the pixel display of 3GS. 326 per inch. Human eye, says Jobs, can only perceive 300 so it won't look like pixels. Brighter and sharper than the 3GS.
- New iPhone is powered by the A4 chip. Same guts as the iPad. Way more battery life as a result.
- Adding a gyroscope for gaming.
- New 5 megapixel camera with better light sensors for low light photography.
- iPhone 4 has built in HD video camera.
- iMovie app for iPhone. Edit movies on same device you shoot them on. Nice editing features. $4.99. Good thing it's not $5.00, that would be a total ripoff.
- Renaming OS4 as iOS4.
- Google stays the default for search, Bing added as an option. Yahoo still there, adorably.
- iBooks coming to iPhone and iPod Touch (oh yeah, iPods exist).
- New iAds platform. Advertisements integrated into apps so users don't get kicked out of app and into browser. Pitched as way for app developers to make money producing free/cheap apps. I can see why app developers would like this. Can't say I dig it as a customer.
- Face Time, a video chat feature. iPhone 4 to iPhone 4, Wifi only.
- iPhone 4 - $199 for 16gb, $299 for 32gb. On sale June 24.

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

Thanks all for the great compliments! My yard is actually a mess, but there is almost always something to eat, almost always something in bloom, and experiments everywhere. Not seen in the pic, between the cherries and the street is a ginkgo grown from seed, a sibling to one in the back yard - it's about 8 ft tall. My attempt to leave a long lasting heritage for a future generation. Under the cherry trees are blueberries - haven't quite figured them out yet.
SB, can I come live with you?
I love spurge and have several varieties; I know it can take over. Given the soil conditions where you have it, seems like a great choice for that spot. The wall is lovely, and looks like a good "sitting" wall. Beautiful plants and great design! I can tell, you like loveliness.
Hi Joan, thank you for your comment! The plant that you ask about is a prostrate spurge - probably should pull it out since they can be invasive, but that location is dry clay and not much else grows there. The retaining wall allowed me to expand the usable area by converting a steep hill into a terraced bed that now contains shrubs, flowers, flowering trees and a Japanese plum.
This scene is just lovely, with the stone or block wall in the background, beautiful greens and yellows and handsome Charlie enjoying it all. Do I see Alchemilla 'mollis', Common Name: "Lady's Mantle" on the right side? Whatever, it is a pretty color.
My fruit trees are blooming. First the peaches and Asian plums. I have several genetic dwarf peaches - they grow at most 6 ft tall. Unfortunately they seem to be California-adapted and don't do well here. The flowers may have frosted. We'll know soon. The Asian plums may also have lost their embryonic fruits, but I looked very close and just maybe there are some viable babies. Now the sweet cherries are blooming, and pears, and a European cherry. Next, apples, pie cherries, and grapes. And mulberries -yum. Meanwhile, we've had 2 rhubarb pies, and enough on the plant for about 20 more.
Here is my buddy Charlie with 2 sweet cherries. I prune them drastically every summer to dwarf them. The method ("Backyard Orchard Culture" was developed for California, but I've discovered it works great for fruits here in SW Washington.
Okay, now the agarita looks familiar.
I'm surprised apples grown down that far south. What's an agarita?

"With MathWorks tools we have a seamless environment for development, simulation, code generation, and processor-in-the-loop verification. The advantages of Model-Based Design over hand-coding in C can't be overestimated."
Kazuhiro Ichikawa, Ono Sokki
To precisely gauge brake performance and fuel consumption when testing a prototype vehicle, engineers must track the vehicle's speed to within 0.1 km/h. Because many commercial speed measurement devices are based solely on global positioning system (GPS) technology and are therefore susceptible to multipath fading, they cannot reliably deliver the required level of accuracy. In road tests, for example, accuracy drops where the presence of buildings degrades GPS radio signals.
Engineers at Ono Sokki used MATLAB®, Simulink®, and Embedded Coder® to develop a precision speedometer that uses an inertial measurement unit (IMU) in locations where there is not a strong satellite signal, eliminating the issue of multipath fading.
"This is the first project for which we used Model-Based Design for embedded system development," says Kazuhiro Ichikawa, an engineer in the General Measurement Group at Ono Sokki. "Model-Based Design was much more effective than our traditional approach. Creating an executable specification and automatically generating production code enabled us to reduce development time significantly."
While Ono Sokki engineers have extensive expertise in developing automotive measurement and testing instrumentation, they had no existing design models that could be reused for the precision speedometer. To achieve the required level of accuracy, the engineers needed to develop and implement entirely new algorithms that involved complex matrix operations on multiple state variables.
Within the deadline to complete the project, the team needed to accelerate development of embedded C code without a reference design. In Ono Sokki's conventional workflow, the team wrote C code manually. However, the algorithms required for this effort were too complicated to code by hand, particularly given the tight schedule.
Ono Sokki used MathWorks tools for Model-Based Design to complete the precision speedometer on schedule.
The engineers captured the behavior of the system in a flow chart and then used MATLAB to develop algorithms for each component block in the behavioral flow. They conducted simulations in MATLAB to verify functionality at the component level.
In Simulink, the team created a system-level model that incorporated the MATLAB based components, including complex timing characteristics and the interactions between components. They used this executable specification to perform numerous simulations, which enabled them to identify the set of parameter values that maximized system performance.
After verifying the design via simulation, the team generated C code from their models using Embedded Coder and implemented it on a DSP.
The team performed processor-in-the-loop (PIL) verification of the implementation using the IDE link feature in Embedded Coder. They reused their Simulink model as a test harness to verify the execution of the code on the DSP target.
The engineers found a discrepancy in the DSP execution results caused by the compiler that could have gone undetected in their traditional workflow. PIL testing with the IDE link enabled them to identify and resolve the issue before the code went into production.
The project is currently moving into production, and Ono Sokki engineers are reusing their models as the basis for the next generation of the device.

A group tasked with creating public policy to help shape Tucson's future could get an earful tonight from residents living near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
Some residents are fuming after the Tucson city council voted unanimously to approve a resolution to "support the missions and long term viability of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base... when it comes to their existing and future military missions and assignments."
Residents will be demanding public comment on the issue during the Plan Tucson meeting held at city hall at 6 p.m. tonight. They feel the resolution to approve "future" missions should not have come to a vote without public input.
For details on tonight's meeting, watch Fox 11 at 9 p.m. and KOLD News 13 Live at 10 p.m.

The Yardsale Blog
Hey there, Yardsailors! I'm Daniel, your new Community Happiness Manager. I've joined the Yardsale team to help you (yes, you! And you!) get the most magical experience possible with Yardsale. And that's what it's all about, right? My job is to make sure your experience with Yardsale is something special at every step of the way, from the moment you open the app to when you go pick up that rad cheetah print adult onesie you got on Yardsale. You're going to look fantastic, by the way.
Buying and selling on Yardsale isn't only about buying and selling cool stuff. It's really about community. It's about meeting people in your neighborhood who you otherwise wouldn't have. It's about being pleasantly surprised by the kindness of other people. It's about those seemingly rare opportunities when you get to make someone else happy.
Since we're going to be spending some time together, how about I tell you a bit about myself? Self-Aggrandizing Lightning Round, COMMENCE!
- I come from Whiskey Media, another web start-up, where I wore many different hats, managing customer service, membership relations, advertising and learning all about the interwebs.
- While studying political science in college I decided to start an exploratory committee-of-one for a Congressional bid. I've since abandoned the website and the election, for reasons I'll make clear in my post-presidency autobiographical tell-all.
- My love of rap music is eclipsed only by my love for Bluegrass. Figure that one out.
- I've been up here!
- Whenever someone quotes a line from The Goonies, I have to turn on the movie. I guess that's better than feeling compelled to do the Truffle Shuffle every time. That'd be awkward for everyone.
- I love an Internet that is serendipitous, engaging, and full of experiences that border on magic. From an intuitive app that solves a common need, to the personable customer support that's behind it when you need help.
While I've been lucky enough to have met and bought or sold from some of you on Yardsale, I really look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. Don't hesitate to text us (at 415-683-6832) or email us (email@example.com) any time you have a question or if you'd just like to say hi. Or you can always talk to us on Twitter.
Behind every item is a unique story. This makes Yardsale unlike buying and selling in any other way. I really look forward to hearing all of your stories, and helping you share them through Yardsale. Talk to you soon.
- Daniel

AHL Preseason Game Day: 9/27 Admirals at BearsSubmitted by pete on September 27, 2009 - 20:15
A couple of Admirals tryouts are looking like serious contenders to make the team.
Dustin Tokarski allowed 2 goals on 13 shots before giving way to Jaroslav Janus midway through the game. Janus allowed 2 goals on 17 shots for the overtime loss, and now the Lightning will need to make a decision whether to sign the young Slovak to an entry-level deal or send him back to Erie of the OHL for one more season.
Juraj Simek and tryouts Matt Dias and Tommy Goebel scored the Admirals' goals. Mitch Fadden, Kevin Quick, Ty Wishart (twice), and Chris Lawrence added assists.
Norfolk was outshot 30-27 in the game.
Tommy Goebel has been the story so far in Admirals camp among the tryouts. The diminutive Parma, Ohio native is entering his second year of pro hockey after splitting last season between Wheeling of the ECHL (42 points in 35 games) and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL (4 goals and 12 points in 25 games). Goebel played four years in the CCHA split between Michigan State and Ohio State, amassing 54 goals and 115 points in 147 games. Goebel could add more speed to an Admirals lineup that was one of the slowest in the AHL over the past two seasons.
Matt Dias is trying to earn a pro contract after four years with Sudbury of the OHL. Last season Dias had 31 goals and 66 points in 68 games.
Game story from NorfolkAdmirals.com.
NHL Preseason Game Night: 9/16 Lightning at StarsSubmitted by pete on September 16, 2009 - 22:46
The Lightning's minor leaguers drop one in a shootout to half of the Stars' first stringers.
Antero Nittymaki allowed 2 goals on 15 shots through the first 40 minutes before giving way to Jaroslav Janus who allowed 1 goal on 11 shots in the third and overtime before going 2/3 in the penalty shot session for the overtime loss. All in all, a very good performance for a young man who has been challenged to earn a pro contract.
First Period
DAL 9:28, Eriksson 1 (PP) (Modano)
DAL 18:51, Richards 1 (PP) (Modano, Neal)
Second Period
TB 5:45, Fedoruk 1 (Mclean)
TB 19:31, Mclean 1 (PP) (Foster, Downie)
Third Period
TB 5:55, Jones 1 (Halpern, Miller)
DAL 16:46, Neal 1 (Richards, Eriksson)
DAL - Richards
Winners? Brett McLean, who is also looking for a contract, drops 1 goal and 1 assist. The Kurtis Foster experiment gets off to a decent start with a power play assist, a +1, and 4 shots on goal. Richard Panik earns 15 minutes of ice time, which is a team high for forward prospects not named Steve Downie or Drew Miller. And Janus? Probably got a contract.
Steve Downie had a helper and was +1 in 17:03 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 4 hits. Still my pick to win the job on the Lecavalier/Tanguay line.
Drew Miller had 1 helper and was +1 with 2 shots and 1 hit in 16:43.
Paul Szczechura was -1 in 12:22 with 1 shot on goal and 2 hits. He was also 33% on draws. If there was a loser in this game, in the race to win a roster, maybe it was Szczechura.
Dana Tyrell was -1 in 12:09 with 2 shots and 1 hit. He had a breakaway opportunity shorthanded he was stopped on. Coach Tocchet said he wanted to see if Tyrell could kill penalties. Shortie breakaways don't hurt.
Martins Karsums had 1 shot and 3 hits in 12:55. He also was stopped in the shootout session.
Blair Jones notched a rebound goal and was +1 in 12:42 with 1 shot, 3 hits, and 1 blocked shot. He also was stopped in the shootout session. Tocchet moved Jones over to right wing with Halpern and Miller, which is ostensibly two-thirds of the likely third line. It was a good opportunity for Jones and he did pretty well with it.
Matt Lashoff was +1 with 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 18:36. No hits? Matt, brother, do you read the website? We need to see some jam, my friend.
Richard Panik had 1 shot and 1 hit in 15:00. I find it fascinating he got more shifts and more ice time than guys like Tyrell and Karsums who are closer to the NHL, particularly on the power play. They have sky high hopes for this young man, clearly.
Oh, yeah. Victor Hedman? 27:15 in his first NHL preseason game. Are you kidding? 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 1 blocked shot. That's unbelievable, really.

Prospects To Highlight Lightning Exhibition OpenerSubmitted by timothy on September 15, 2009 - 14:02
The Tampa Bay Lightning take the ice Wednesday night in Dallas, TX for their first pre-season game against the Dallas Stars. Five of BoltProspects' Top 7 ranked prospects, including the top three ranked prospects, will help kick off the Lightning's 2009-10 hockey season. Highlighting the Tampa roster will be 2009 #2 overall pick, Swedish blueline phenom Victor Hedman. Hedman will be joined by fellow 2009 draftees Richard Panik and Jaroslav Janus. Forwards Steve Downie and Dana Tyrell along with defenseman Matt Lashoff round out the remaining top prospects that will be showcased in tonight's opener. Forwards Blair Jones, Martins Karsums, and Paul Szczechura represent three more Top 20 prospects that are fighting for roster spots on the Lightning's bottom lines with overagers Drew Miller and Zenon Konopka.
The expected forward lines for Wednesday's game are:
Drew Miller - Jeff Halpern - Blair Jones
Brandon Bochenski - Paul Szczechura - Dana Tyrell
Steve Downie - Brett McLean - Richard Panik
Todd Fedoruk - Zenon Konopka - Martins Karsums
Joining Lashoff and Hedman on the blueline are newcomers David Hale and Kurtis Foster along with former prospects Matt Smaby and Mike Lundin. Joining Janus in net is 2009 free agent acquisition Antero Niittymaki.
Crisdotero: Janus Still Has a Shot at a Pro ContractSubmitted by pete on September 8, 2009 - 19:39
Buried in a blog post by Damian Crisdotero of the Times today is news that the Lightning are still considering signing goaltender Jaroslav Janus to a pro contract for this season if he shows in camp he is capable of pushing Riku Helenius and Dustin Tokarski in camp.
The Lightning have also hired Leigh Mendelson, ex of Spokane in the WHL, as the Norfolk Admirals' strength, conditioning, and video coach. Brian Lawton is also planning on revealing Norfolk's new assistant coach shortly. Former NHL defenseman Jim Johnson, who has been working with the team's prospects this summer, is said to be in the running. Johnson played 829 NHL games between Pittsburgh, Minnesota/Dallas, Washington, and Phoenix.
CHL Exhibition UpdateSubmitted by chad on September 7, 2009 - 09:52
In recent CHL exhibition action:
Richard Panik (2009 2nd) had a goal and three assists in a 5-3 Windsor exhibition win over Plymouth Saturday afternoon. Panik has three goals and five assists in his first two North American games. And he's not even playing next to likely 2010 No.1 overall pick Taylor Hall yet. Panik couldn't be in a better situation. He's playing for a coach (Bob "The Boogie Man" Boughner) and GM (Warren Rychel) who were both hard-nosed, disciplined players and expect the same out of their Spitfire players. As the defending Memorial Cup and OHL champions, and expected 2010 champion for both, the Spits will be in Canada's spotlight and have targets on their backs all year. They'll get everyone's A-game defensively. This should help Panik speed his development for NHL play. Finally, he'll be surrounded by players such as Hall, Ryan Ellis, and Cam Fowler, which means he has a very high statistical ceiling. This will be fun to watch.
Goaltender Jaroslav Janus made his exhibition debut for Erie Saturday, stopping 31 shots in a 4-4 tie with Niagara. Janus can return to Erie this year as an overager, though there was speculation he'd go to Europe or be signed by the Lightning and placed in the Central League or assigned to an ECHL team. It's good to see him back with the Otters, even if it's just to get work before Tampa Bay's rookie camp this week.
The "other" 2009 Lightning first rounder, Carter Ashton, had an assist for Lethbridge in preseason action Friday.
Matias Sointu, who is making his North American debut with Ottawa this year, has one assist through two exhibition games for the 67's. Sointu missed most of last season with an injury in Finland.
The Q opens regular season play this week, so look for BoltProspects' Game Night summaries to appear shortly.

When you think of drones, you probably think of the military or law enforcement. Until now, those who developed these technologies were mainly in the military, but not anymore.
How about a drone delivering hot pizza right to your door, or a drone to get into dangerous places to help firefighters find the safest way to enter a burning building?
Dr. Jerry Lemieux says this is our future, and unmanned vehicles are those tools.
"I really have a positive opinion of this whole industry," he said, "and we're trying lead to the education and training."
Dr. Lemieux believes in the up and coming technology so much he started the first university specifically for drones. It's called Unmanned Vehicle University. It's based in Phoenix, Arizona, using professors from across the country.
The retired colonel holds a Ph.D. in engineering and has over 25 years of experience with research, development, technology transfer, integration and flight test and evaluation. He also has over 20 years of course development and teaching experience at major universities and aviation schools including MIT, the University of Maryland, and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.
He has flown as a fighter pilot and Delta Air Lines pilot and accumulated over 40 years and 10,000 hours of aviation experience.
"Most universities give general degrees, so that gives them the capability to go in different places. We did it backwards," he continued. "We started with a job and then we developed a curriculum to meet the job."
Most classes are online and range from how to fly drones to a doctorate and master's degrees specializing in engineering applications from drones.
"I've always loved aviation," offered Lorie Grabham, a student at the university. "And seeing over the last few years what has transpired in the unmanned systems, I've just started having a passion and started researching, possibly going back to school for my masters and ran into this university."
Stephen Rayleigh is an instructor. He teaches students how to build and operate small-scale UAVs. Rayleigh said his classes "give the students deeper understanding and appreciation for how the UAV works and especially when it doesn't work they know to troubleshoot it."
Congress ordered the FAA to fully integrate drones in our airspace by 2015. As many as 10,000 of them could be flying at that time.
Rayleigh gave us an up-close look at just a few of the jobs these drones can do. Like hands off flying, and drones that are sophisticated enough to have ground stations and flight plans.
There is also aerial photography. Entire maps can be created with a drone's camera. It's technology that could one day help farmers find damaged crops or monitor watering remotely without ever having to step onto the field.
"Any business that currently uses satellite imagery could get this kind of thing for a fraction of a price and its actually higher resolution than Google Earth, certainly," Rayleigh continued.
It's these types of applications which those at Unmanned Vehicle University say are helping lead their students skyward and into the future.

Buzz the mascot can't talk, but he sure can tweet!
UW-Superior mascot, Buzz, will be this week's guest voice of the UW System's "Knowledge Powers Wisconsin" campaign, taking his turn on the @UWpowersMe Twitter account August 5-11.
Buzz comes from a large family of communicators. Both his father and mother were also mascots at other major universities and like him, were also standouts in getting large crowds to cheer and laugh at college sporting events. Buzz is a big hit with fans of all ages in the Duluth-Superior area.
Buzz joins several others from the UW-Superior community who have tweeted for UWPowersMe. He writes, "I am thrilled to carry on the rich tradition of UW-Superior tweeters, and excited to be a guest tweeter for UWpowersMe." He added, "I can't wait to showcase more of the great things going on at UW-Superior in addition to what Mickey Fitch, Derek Krivinchuk and Jordan Appicelli did earlier this year." Fitch and Appicelli are both staff members and Krivinchuck is a student-athlete.
Buzz becomes the first mascot to tweet for UWPowersMe and that doesn't go unnoticed to him. He wrote, "We have Pointers, Badgers, Bluegolds, Blue Devils, Phoenix, Titans, Warhawks, Falcons, Pioneers, Eagles, but in the end it's a Yellowjacket that makes history. I'm proud of that!" During his last major appearance last month, Buzz was a big hit at the Wisconsin Science & Technology Symposium that was held at UW-Superior, with over 150 people around the state on his campus. He also shot a TV commercial recently with Chancellor Renée Wachter. With freshmen set to start school soon, Buzz is looking forward to showing them all of the new and renovated buildings on campus and tweeting about that as well.
The @UWpowersMe Twitter account allows mascots, students, faculty, alumni - even chancellors - the opportunity to take control for one week, telling their UW story as only they can. It is a component of the social media arm of "Knowledge Powers Wisconsin," the campaign that highlights how the UW System powers economic growth in Wisconsin, improving the state's competitive edge by leveraging human capital, supporting business and industry and strengthening local communities.

TUESDAY, Dec. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Might technologies and
gadgets so popular with today's young adults be corralled to help
them lose weight?
Two agencies at the U.S. National Institutes of Health hope to
find out.
The agencies are co-funding seven clinical trials that will
examine how to use text messaging, online social networking,
Bluetooth-enabled scales and other technology to help young people
control their weight and, in the process, protect their hearts.
"These studies have the potential to teach us about successfully engaging young adults in achieving a healthy weight at a critical time in their lives," Dr. Susan B. Shurin, acting director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, one of the sponsoring agencies, said in an institute news release. The other is the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
"Learning effective strategies for weight management further empowers young adults to protect their future heart health," she said. "These studies are designed to provide evidence to help us guide young adults toward approaches that work and allow them to choose the options that work best for them."
The approaches being tested in the trials include:
The studies, called the Early Adult Reduction of Weight Through
Lifestyle Intervention trials, will include participants 18 to 35
years old and will focus on promoting weight management through
healthy eating and physical activity. The two agencies have pledged
$36 million in funding over five years.
All seven trials are expected to start enrolling volunteers by
next spring.
"Comparing findings and pooling data from all seven studies will maximize what the research community learns about developing strategies to address weight control among young adults," Catherine Loria, a nutritional epidemiologist in the Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's cardiovascular sciences division, said in the news release.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Feb. 21, 2013) – Coming off the best road performance in program history, Rutgers gymnastics heads west this weekend to compete in a quad meet at No. 13 Denver with No. 16 Boise State and Utah State Saturday at 8 p.m. ET inside Hamilton Gymnasium. It will be the third-straight week the Scarlet Knights compete away.
Click here to follow live results.
"This will be another test for us away from our home gym," head coach Louis Levine said. "I was proud of how we competed last week at Maryland and look forward to seeing what we can do at Denver. This is another opportunity to prove ourselves against two strong teams."
The Scarlet Knights put together four strong events last time out at Maryland to record a season-high 195.050 team score. It was the third-best score in program history and best under Levine. Juniors Alexis Gunzelman (Tabernacle, N.J.) and Luisa Leal (Cali, Columbia) were both used as all-arounders for the first time this season in the meet. The floor exercise was the high-score (49.025) once again, with the team clearing 49.000 for the second time this year.
Denver, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, comes in at No. 13 in the nation with a 195.796 average. The Pioneers are in the top 20 in all four events, with a No. 11 ranking on both the uneven bars and floor exercise. Last weekend, the program posted a 195.850 to defeat Illinois Chicago on the road. Head coach Melissa Kutcher-Rinehart is in his 15th season.
Utah State is also in the WAC and scored a 193.225 last weekend in a meet at San Jose State. The Aggies used two all-arounders, scoring highest as a team on the vault (48.825). Jeff Richards is in his fifth year as the head coach.
Added to the meet Thursday, Boise State will compete in Denver after inclement weather did not allow the team to travel to Nebraska this weekend. The Broncos are No. 16 nationally and scored a 195.575 last time out in a quad meet at Oklahoma. The program is led by co-head coaches Tina Bird and Neil Resnick, who are in their sixth season together.
Following the meet, RU will return home for Senior Day March 2 at the Livingston Recreation Center. The event will be broadcast live on RVision, presented by AT&T.

Danica Patrick is sizzling hot in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition 2009. This is Danica's second appearance in SI Swimsuit and she's hotter than ever. Danica can drive race cars and she can definitely wear a bikini!
Sports Illustrated decided to photoshop out Danica's lower back tattoo of an American Flag. Why? No idea.
About Danica Patrick, she's born March 25, 1982 in Beloit, Wiscousin. Danica only stands 5 feet 2 and weights 100 pounds. She began interested in racing when she was just 10 years old. Danica became the first woman to win the Indy Race with her 2008 win in Japan. Danica live in Scottsdale, Arizona. One of Danica's favorite TV shows: Live with Regis and Kelly.
Who says you have to be tall to be a good driver?

Big Screen Berkeley: Juliet of the Spirits
What is Federico Fellini's Juliet of the Spirits (Giulietta degli spiriti) all about? Even after multiple viewings, I'm not entirely sure — but perhaps its meaning is immaterial. Screening at Pacific Film Archive this Saturday, July 14th at 6:00 pm, it's a visual feast that will send the right side of your brain into paroxysms of ecstasy while the left side struggles to determine the filmmaker's intent.
Appearing as part of the Archive's series, 'Bellissima: Leading Ladies of the Italian Screen', Juliet of the Spirits marked a significant turning point in Fellini's career. The salt of the earth realism of his early efforts (I Vitelloni, Nights of Cabiria) had already given way to cerebral examinations of bourgeois conceit (La Dolce Vita, 8 ½), but with Juliet, Fellini began a long-term journey into deeply surreal waters.
The director's wife, muse, and frequent collaborator Giulietta Masina stars as the title character, a middle-aged woman torn between dedication to her husband Giorgio (Mario Pisu) and the desire for something more from life. Hiding her feelings behind a perpetual Mona Lisa smile and an array of wide brimmed haute couture hats, Juliet no longer finds fulfillment lounging on the beach and planning social occasions. … Continue reading »

A question that comes up far too often in breakfast table discussions at our favorite local restaurant these days is: "Where is America headed?"
The general consensus around the table? "To hell."
While I agree that America as a nation is in trouble and most likely headed for even more problems, I cannot subscribe to the theory that the end is near.
Not yet.
We've been down before. We've faced crisis and even the threat of oblivion before but this nation is a collection of stubborn types who refuse to give up and who, somehow, find a way to survive.
At time, things look too dire, too bad and too damaged to salvage. We have a inept leader in the White House, a bumbling collection of political dinosaurs in Congress and a passive-aggressive populace who are too wrapped up in personal problems and biases to put the needs of a nation ahead of themselves.
So it is not surprising that America finds itself at another crossroads where the obvious question of "can America be saved?" is followed by an even-more-obvious "should American be saved?"
There are many who think that America today is no longer a nation worth loving or saving.
If that is true, then who is at fault? Barack Obama? John Boehner? Harry Reid? The tea party? Democrats? Republicans? The right wing? The left wing? Liberals? Conservatives? Or simply us?
If the answer is "us," then the next logical question is: "How to we fix things?"
That's a good question and the answer is neither easy to answer or implement.
As too many out there learned too late, many so-called "grassroots" organizations are actually fronts for corporate and/or political entities with hidden agendas that have nothing to so with the freedom or the restoration of an America for the people or by the people.
The tea party was the biggest fraud of all — a phony grassroots group created by a Republican consulting firm for the Koch Brothers — two right-wing energy billionaires who want to push their own, repressive agenda onto a gullible populations.
Sadly, I was once part of that consulting firm — the senior communications associate who helped create phony grassroots operations designed to help not "the people" but the corporate and political clients.
For example, I once created a group called "Citizens for Rural Internet Broadband Access," a so-called grassroots movement that lobbied Congress for federal money to help build a high-speed access system in rural areas.
We had a web site, which I designed, and pushed the idea through meetings and press conferences.
The entire program had little to do with "citizens" or grassroots. It had a lot to do with Corning, which funded the program to sell fiber-optic cable used to transmit high-speed data.
The group is long-gone now and many rural areas are still struggling to obtain decent high-speed service. But Corning sold some cable and the consulting firm I worked for at the time got paid.
Which brings us back to the original question here. How do we — as ordinary citizens — regain control of our country?
We can't do it if he allow ourselves to become pawns of business or political action groups.
But they have the money and in politics you can't do anything without money.
Therein lies the problem.
The solution?
Sorry, don't have one.
Do you?

4 Responses to "Can, or should, America be saved?"
Perhaps rural broadband access was a reasonable thing to advocate for. Sure, Corning sold some cable, but at least it did some folks some good besides Corning. Admittedly, I live in a very rural area 10 miles from the nearest town and have an independent engineering biz for which broadband access is essential, but I think that reasonable broadband access for all is a worthy national goal, rather like functioning bridges and water systems.
You seem to be moving past inchoate breakfast-table rage to at least ask the right question: How do we fix it? I think that is a more useful use of energy than endlessly raging against the machine.
Fixing it by destroying 250 years of collective building of a country may seem perfect in the abstract, but will be really messy. Destroying those 250 years of negotiations on how to run a country without some sort of a plan to replace it in a responsible fashion is going to destroy lots of lives simultaneously.
We tried civil war once and it cost 650,000 lives, many from your beloved Virgina. Do you think we should do that again? Railing against the "system" in the abstract without suggesting anything to improve it is not very productive if you really want things to get better.
We'd have to start buying our politicians the same way the big players do. This would cost a lot more than clicking on a website to send in $10 every four years. Unfortunately, Americans are as cheap as they are moral — they whine a lot but they always wait for somebody else to pick up the check.
Improvements in America must start with individuals taking full responsibility for themserlves, their family and homes. Do parents fully understand training their family members to know right from wrong in all circumstances? There are simple laws of showing respect for others that should start from the early stages of child training. Our schools are starting to look like boot camps. What kind of exposure are our young kids having to cope with. Their games, television shows and even sports groups are violent.
Any serious changes will have to come from the family unit and then grow to include neighborhoods and up through counties and then the states. Many have seen improvements when the children were sent to smaller private schools where the parents were fully involved.
When the parents stand up to the schools and demand strong changes in the actions of the kids, then we can develop intelligently run academic institutions.
The best example of out of control human actions can be found in our Congressional leaders.
Term limits for those seated in the congress and the supreme court, also, restrict lobbying activities to outside the DC metro area. Truth in broadcasting laws and put teeth in them. I could go on, alas..

Torticollis, also known as wryneck, is a twisting of the neck that causes the head to rotate and tilt at an odd angle.
The exact cause of torticollis is unknown.
Congenital muscular torticollis is more likely to occur in firstborn children. This may also be accompanied by a congenital hip dislocation. The cause is likely from intrauterine positioning resulting in injury to the neck muscles.
Acquired torticollis may be caused by irritation to the cervical ligaments from a viral infection, trauma, or vigorous movement. Additional causes may include:
Sleeping in an awkward position
Neck muscle injury at birth
Burn injury
Any injury that causes heavy scarring and skin shrinkage
Neck muscle spasm
Secondary causes may include:
Slipped facets (two small joints on the side of the spine)
Herniated disk
Viral or bacterial infection
The following are the most common symptoms of torticollis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Neck muscle pain or pain down the spine
Inability to turn the head, usually holding it twisted to one side
Spasm of the neck muscles
Awkward position of the chin
The symptoms of torticollis may resemble other conditions and medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis of torticollis usually is confirmed with a medical history and physical examination.
Specific treatment for torticollis will be determined by your physician based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Cervical collar
Heat therapy
Ultrasound therapy
Physical therapy
Botox injections

3 Ways to Become an Urban Homesteader
I was so inspired at the Eat Real Festival last month in Oakland, especially by the fearless urban homesteaders that were out in droves! Dream of having your own backyard farm too? Here's three ways to get started...
- Host your own Homesteading Party
Nicole Kramer owner of farmCurious will lead this "modern day tupperware party" and not only educate your guests on how to get started but also provide you and your guests with the tools needed, to start preserving, culturing and brewing to your hearts content.
- Choose your Coop
With 7 handcrafted styles to choose from, Holland Hen Houses has the perfect size home to house your handful of hens. Not only will you have fresh, organic eggs, but the chickens will keep bugs and weeds out of your garden and make composting a dream. I already have my chick picked....a Silver Spangled Appenzeller...love their mohawks!
- Call a Happy Girl
At Happy Girl Kitchen, their mission is to "empower you through hands-on workshops and with deliveries of the local harvest in bulk quantities, enabling you to preserve that local harvest safely and affordably on your own." Delivery to your doorstep which includes the makings for homemade pickles & preserves...what could be better then that?

loved the eat real festival! the chorizo sandwich from el huarache loco was delicious!
As a person who considers herself and family to be Urban Homesteaders I find that this article misses one of the core ideas of Urban Homesteading,the idea of DIY.By paying others to do your work for you a person really is not getting the point at all.
haha, I don't know where that sign in the photo is posted, but I've never known any farm to have a "wake-up" time of 10AM...farmhands are eating lunch by that time!
I come from a family of farmers and a farming community. My brother & uncle still make their living at it. I'd laugh my ass off to see "urban homesteaders" spend just one week on a real farm. Most people who think it's hip to play at farming really don't have a clue about the work involved.
Thanks for the article! Encouraging people to treat food with respect, eat fresh and grow what they can is a wonderful thing. And providing services to help people get started makes it much easier for more people to join the cause. Most of the people I know who are interested in this kind of life, aren't playing around. And while tending a garden and preserving food (etc) takes work, I don't think anyone I know would compare it with running a full-scale farm.
"Most people who think it's hip to play at farming..."
"Most of the people I know who are interested in this kind of life, aren't playing around"
Then that comment wouldn't apply to those people you know, would it? The comment is directed at the people who have never stepped foot outside the city and think it would be quaint to "buy a few acres and have a cow, chickens, and a goat or two" but don't have the slightest clue how much work even that little bit of livestock and a large garden takes, let alone a larger operation.
And yes, there are a shocking number of people who don't have a clue how much work farming or raising livestock is and think it's something to "retire" to.
So people are angry that hipsters are into farming but have no clue how much work is involved... how on earth do you expect them to learn? Go back in time and grow up on a farm, maybe during the Great Depression? I fail to see a down side to getting people even just a tad closer to the realities of farming and agriculture.
No, I think all the hipsters who are riding the "homesteader trend" should go buy themselves some land and cattle and have themselves a blast...because, you know, all it really takes is an interest and a few lessons at the annual festival.
Ok, HELLO PEOPLE - the point of urban homesteading is that it DOES NOT take place on a real farm. It is specifically an activity for people who live in urban areas and ARE NOT farmers, but want to know the sources of their food and live more sustainable lifestyles. And to the commenter who mentioned the DIY - Nicole's parties are instructional and sell supplies so that you can DIY.
Perhaps some forget that farmers can relocate to urban areas. I too come from a farm and my family still struggles to make a living at farming. I've also lived in San Francisco for 10 years and love that these brave souls are helping people understand where food comes from, and helping provide the tools and skills necessary to get started on DIY projects and understand the hard work involved in (urban!) farming.
It's not about hipsters v. farmers, and it's certainly not about paying people to do it for you. That's what we do every time we shop at major supermarket chains with no idea what the ingredients in our food are nor where they come from.
I salute all three of the orgs mentioned above and can't wait to host a homesteading party soon!
Thanks for the great discourse. You all inspired me to write about what it means to call yourself an urban farmer! http://www.farmcurious.com/902/
