Astros 11, Reds 2
HOUSTON (AP)—The Houston Astros had no idea how to explain their sizzling start.
Richard Hidalgo hit a three-run double and Houston jumped out to the biggest first inning in franchise history, scoring nine runs Thursday night in an 11-2 victory over the slumping Cincinnati Reds.
"If we knew what we were doing, we would do it every night," Craig Biggio said.
"To score that many runs in one inning without hitting a home run is hard to do. Tonight was something special."
Houston sent the Reds to their eighth straight loss and outscored them 36-8 during a four-game sweep.
Biggio hit his 500th career double in the fourth inning, becoming the first Astros player to reach the milestone.
"When you play 15 years you are going to have some good things happen," Biggio said. "It was special to have it happen at home in front of the fans of the only organization I have ever played for. I still enjoy the game as much as I did when I started playing."
Biggio is the 40th major leaguer to reach the mark.
"That is quite an achievement for anyone—especially to do it in one uniform," Houston manager Jimy Williams said. "He's been a special player here and still is."
Geoff Blum had two hits in the first inning, including a two-run single. Jeff Bagwell, Brad Ausmus and Adam Everett added RBI singles as the Astros chased Paul Wilson before he got an out.
"It was a combination of a lot of things for me—luck, finesse and being in good situations," Blum said.
It was the most runs for the Astros in any inning since they scored nine in the sixth at Pittsburgh on Sept. 8, 1999. The most runs Houston has ever scored in an inning is 12 against Philadelphia in the eighth on May 31, 1975.
"Scoring those nine runs in the first inning got contagious. Everybody was hitting," Williams said.
Ron Villone (1-0) got the victory, pitching six innings and giving up two runs on four hits. He walked two and struck out two.
Ricky Stone got his first save of the season with three innings of hitless relief.
Biggio started Houston's first inning by reaching base on a throwing error by shortstop Ray Olmedo and moving to second on a single by Blum. Bagwell drove in Biggio with a single, and a walk to Lance Berkman loaded the bases for Hidalgo, who hit a three-run double.
After a single by Morgan Ensberg, Hidalgo scored on a single by Ausmus and Everett drove in Ensberg with a single to bring on John Riedling in relief of Wilson (5-6).
After a single by Biggio, Blum's single scored Ausmus and Everett. A walk to Bagwell loaded the bases and a walk to Berkman scored Biggio.
"They weren't crushing them, but after the opening error they were hitting them where they ain't," Cincinnati manager Bob Boone said.
Wilson gave up eight runs, seven earned, on six hits, while walking one and throwing a wild pitch. He is the second Cincinnati starting pitcher this season to fail to retire a hitter. The other was Jeff Austin on May 23 against Florida.
"It kind of snowballed on me. I was up in the zone and they hit me hard," Wilson said. "I feel I was aggressive, but their guys put the bat on the ball. This has never happened before and I hope it never happens again."
Ken Griffey Jr. homered for the third straight game against Houston to cut the lead to 9-1 in the second.
The Astros added two runs in the third on RBI singles by Bagwell and Berkman.
The Reds scored in the sixth on an RBI single by Jose Guillen.
It is Cincinnati's longest losing streak since dropping eight in a row last June. The Reds haven't lost more than eight straight since losing 11 in 1998. … Blum extended his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games. … Cincinnati has committed a major league-leading 86 errors this season. The Reds have made at least one error in 59 of their 90 games. … Cincinnati starters gave up a total of 14 runs in the first inning of the last two games againstHouston. Danny Graves gave up six Wednesday.

In Good Taste Guinness Onion soup with cheddar croutons. Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Jessica J. Trevino/Detroit Free Press
In Good Taste Guinness Onion soup with cheddar croutons. Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Jessica J. Trevino/Detroit Free Press
On St. Patricks Day, many revelers will enjoy a pint (or more) of Guinness, Irelands famous stout beer.
But Guinness uses go beyond the pub. In the culinary world, this dark brew lends hearty nuances to soups, stews, braises, breads and desserts.
Proper technique and high-quality ingredients can turn todays full-bodied Guinness and Onion Soup into something special. The recipe pairs Guinness with beef broth, caramelized onions and an aged white cheddar, Irish preferred. In this soup, Guinness figures prominently in flavor and gives it a deep dark color.
Guinness can have some bitter tones, especially when cooked. Resolve this by using the milder-tasting Guinness Draught. But dont add it all at once. Use a good portion of the Guinness at the beginning of cooking and some toward the end, which will add fresh Guinness flavor to the soup.
Guinness is known for the frothy head that rises to the top of the glass when poured. When using this stout in recipes, let the froth subside for an accurate measure.
The technique of caramelizing onions also balances the beer taste. Caramelizing onions, a kitchen skill everyone should know, brings out their natural sweetness. The onions are slowly cooked so the moisture releases and they become richly browned. Dont try to speed up the process or the onions could burn. It is best to cook them on an even low to near medium heat. Youre looking for a soft onion with a sweet flavor thats melt-in-your mouth tender.
Sherry vinegar provides a tangy addition to this soup. It costs more than most wine vinegars, averaging about $6 a bottle. You could substitute balsamic vinegar for it in this recipe or omit it completely.
Pair this soup with an aged Irish Cheddar melted on hearty thick bread. The longer the cheese is aged, the better. Many grocery stores carry the Kerrygold brand, which has an aged cheddar in 7-ounce packages for about $6. If you dont want the sharpness of the aged cheddar, Kerrygold also makes cheese labeled the Dubliner, which is milder and has a hint of sweetness.
Guinness and Onion Soup with Irish Cheddar Toasts
Serves: 6 / Preparation time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
8 cups thinly sliced onions
Sea salt to taste
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
¼ cup sherry vinegar
1½ cups Guinness Draught, divided
6 cups fat-free beef broth or stock
6 slices thick country bread toasted
Olive oil for brushing on bread
aged Irish cheddar such as Kerrygold brand, shredded or grated, divided
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add onions, season with salt and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden brown.
Add the thyme, vinegar, and 1 cup Guinness. Reduce the Guinness by half and add the beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the remaining ½ cup Guinness and cook a few minutes more.
Preheat the broiler. If desired, using a biscuit cutter, cut out rounds from the bread. Brush both sides with olive oil. Place under the broiler and lightly toast, turn over and toast on the second side. Watch carefully, this only takes a minute or two. Once toasted, sprinkle cheese on top of rounds. Broil until the cheese melts and browns slightly. Divide soup into individual servings, sprinkle with more cheese and top or serve with the toasts.

|ESPN.com: NFC West
|[Print without images]
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
John from Tucson, Ariz., writes: Mike, why cant the 49ers just admit they don't have a vaild starter at quarterback and look elsewhere? It's embarrassing as a fan to watch them kick field goals for their only points every game. Any possibility they can steal Kurt Warner from the Cardinals?
Mike Sando: I can't imagine the Cardinals dealing Warner within the division. Warner provides a terrific fallback option for the Cardinals if Matt Leinart falters. As for admitting they don't have a valid starter, the 49ers have done that by their actions. If they thought they had a legit starter, they would have named him by now.
J from New York writes: Mike, can you post the Seahawk players that are eligible for the PS?
Mike Sando: A partial list would include players with zero accrued NFL seasons. A sampling includes Jordan Kent, Logan Payne, Michael Bumpus, David Hawthorne, Steve Vallos, Jamar Adams, William Robinson, Joel Filani, Kelin Johnson, Dalton Bell, Kevin Brown, Joe Newton, Pat Murray, Trent Shelton, Nu'u Tafisi, Kyle Williams. The rookie draft choices would also qualify. I'll let you know when I have a definitive list.
Mike Sando: Thanks. It takes only one team to make the chances 100 percent. I know from watching the Rams that they don't have many "lock" players beyond the top three. But would a team carry Forsett for the entire season? I'm not sure about yet. Forsett isn't going to be a primary runner for anyone at this stage.
Mike Sando: Glad to hear it, Steve. I'm excited about the ramped-up coverage as well.
Mike Sando: I've got the DVR set to record the Packers-49ers game Sunday at 10 a.m. PT. That is the best I can do.
Mike Sando: Not likely. Signing a veteran player before the opener forces the team to guarantee that player's salary for the full season. Teams sometimes wait until the second week of the season before they sign fringe veterans. At this point, I think Seattle is excited about developing its younger players at the position. I'll let you know if I find out more. The Seahawks have been down the veteran road before (Peter Warrick comes to mind).
Mike Sando: The Seahawks are good enough to scare an NFC team in the playoffs, but I would not book those Super Bowl tickets yet. Mike Wahle is not a left guard in the Steve Hutchinson mold, but he should help the Seahawks run outside. I think John Carlson also helps in that regard. And then if Leonard Weaver truly is a legitimate blocker -- he has made strides -- I do think the ground game improves. The coaching alone is making a big difference. Just keep your fingers crossed on the injury front. All bets are off if Chris Spencer cannot play at center. Steve Vallos has looked good so far but is he ready to play a full season?
Mike Sando: Mike Nolan is coaching for his job, not for the long-term future of Alex Smith or the 49ers organization. That is the reality, and it's not a great situation in my view.
Mike Sando: John Clayton has done some outstanding work on strength of schedule. He has determined that strength of schedule can be predictive in most cases, as I recall. We might be talking about one or two games in the won-lost column. Check out this column.
Mike Sando: I think he has potential, too, but I think he's caught in a bad situation. The organization needs to develop Smith, but the head coach needs to win right now.
Mike Sando: The 49ers are probably a longshot in the NFC West no matter which quarterback they start. It's another lost year if the 49ers finish this season without a promising quarterback.
Mike Sando: Teams view Alexander as a starter, not a backup. This actually works against him. Alexander is not a special-teams player. He is not a third-down back. He has less value, in other words, unless he is the starter. For that reason, I see Alexander serving as an injury replacement if and when he returns to the NFL.

InterContinental Mendoza
The ideal start to any day in Mendoza is with an excellent breakfast at Olivas. Then you can take an eco-walking tour through the city's main park. After taking in some of the sights and sounds of the park stop off at the Cerro de la Gloria, a statue that is well known throughout all of Argentina. From a top of the hill where the statue is located you will have stunning views over the city and it's surrounding countryside as well as of the Andes Mountains. Visit the city's zoo, a place loved by Mendocinos young and old. Stroll through any of our five squares as each has its own unique style before enjoying a coffee in the Peatonal, a pedestrian street which is the heartbeat of the city and of Mendocinian life.
Take a horseback ride through the countryside and allow your senses to be amazed by the sights and sounds as you take in the scenery and mountain air Then enjoy wine tasting at one of our many acclaimed and historical wineries. There you will learn about the journey of the wine from the vineyard to the cellar and eventually on to your glass. Listen as the wine makers explain about the history of the winery, the processes used in the past and today as well as the best way to age the perfect wine. Don't forget to try some of the samples. After that you can lunch or take a coffee at de the winery with an amazing view!
To finish a perfect day in Mendoza it is an absolute must to watch the sun setting over the Andes mountains. Don't forget your camera as this is a moment you will most definitely want to capture. Choose from a selection of typical restaurants and order an enormous rib-eye steak or a perfect pasta, or you maybe will be deleite with our asado, best shared with a bottle of Malbec whilst taking a performance of the famous Argentine tango. If you dare you can dance too!
Great Wines Capitals
In 2005 the city of Mendoza was named as one of the "80 Great Wines Capitals of the World." And in 2010, wine was declared a national drink in Argentina.
The Acequias and Trees
The city's canals (known as acequias locally) play a crucial role in the survival of the city as well as providing it with its numerous and diverse range of trees. Trees are fundamental to Mendoza and can be found in every corner of the city. However, Mendoza is located in the desert and the trees are only able to flourish here due to the ingenious irrigation system that goes back to pre-Hispanic time. This system has been maintained and is still in use today.
The Aconcagua
The region's most famous park is Parque Provincial Aconcagua, home of the 6962m (22841ft) Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere and a favorite destination for climbers. Reaching the summit requires a commitment of at least 13 to 15 days, including acclimatization time.

An injured ACL is no laughing matter – but that didn't stop George Clooney from taking a friendly jab at his fellow Golden Globe Awards nominee – who's also a fellow two-time PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive honoree – Brad Pitt.
While introducing a clip from Pitt's film Moneyball (the pals decided to introduce each other's films at Sunday night's ceremony, live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel), Clooney borrowed the actor's cane, which he is using as he recovers from the slip that injured the ligament in his knee.
"I have to give it back to him," Clooney, 50, who walked the red carpet with girlfriend Stacy Keibler, joked while using the black cane in jest. "He can't make it to the bar otherwise."

Reaction to the $1,000 Genome
System promises to sequence tens of thousands of human whole genomes a year in a single laboratory. What do the first customers think? Life science technology company Illumina recently launched a sequencing platform that it claims will enable the $1,000 genome. The HiSeq X™ Ten Sequencing System comprises 10 ultra-high-throughput sequencers which together can sequence more than 18,000 genomes per year, making human whole-genome sequencing more affordable and accessible than ever before. The system builds Read More >
Hawaii Stands Firm in Biotech Battle
If you drove here in the 1990s, you would see nothing but dead papaya trees," Hawaii resident Dennis Gonsalves told a newspaper reporter last summer. Gonsalves is a scientist and he is credited with helping to save Hawaii's Papaya industry. Nearly decimated in the early 1990s by the ringspot virus, the livelihood of Hawaii's papaya farmers was literally saved by biotechnology and the "Rainbow" papaya, which is genetically-engineered to resist the virus. Rainbow papaya makes Read More >
The New GMO Message
While farmers around the world – more than 18 million farmers in 27 countries – rely on the solutions that biotechnology helps to provide, the discussion around GMOs in food production has intensified. Much of the concern has been generated by misinformation online and across social media. For over a decade, myths about our members and our products were perpetuated. Our voice was not there, and consumers' questions went unanswered. Without easy access to the Read More >
Biofuel by California
A look at some of the Golden State biotechnology companies that are contributing to the development of biofuels and renewable chemicals CELLANA Cellana uses the most productive plants on earth—marine microalgae—to develop bioproducts. Algae photosynthetically produce a line of Omega-3 EPA and DHA oils, animal feed, and biofuel feedstocks.

In the United States these days, about 95 percent of all new "laws" are written by bureaucrats rather than approved by Congress. A pair of recent news stories documents the dangers of bureaucrats gone wild.
Despite the oversized field and non-traditional candidates, the battle for the Republican presidential nomination is starting to shape up in familiar ways. There will be a champion of the establishment wing taking on the champion of the party base to determine the nominee.
To many in Washington, there's little question that the 2016 presidential election should feature a dynasty rematch between the Clinton and Bush families. To most outside of Washington, that's the last match-up they want to see.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is the latest to get burned trying to stand in the way of the sharing economy.
Many years ago, I visited Cambodia with my family. One day, a local resident took us to a small village of 53 huts far off the beaten path. In many ways, it was closer to the 13th century than the 21st. It was truly an eye-opening experience.
The Fourth of July we celebrate this weekend heralds a document proclaiming both our nation's independence and our unwavering commitment to freedom.
What sometimes seem like epic battles to reshape the world generally fade to irrelevance very quickly.
The sad scenes playing out in Baltimore are made sadder by the fact that more such incidents are likely over the coming years.
I am far more pessimistic about our political system than most Americans. At the same time, I am very optimistic about the future of our nation. That may seem like an odd combination to some, but I am optimistic because I recognize that Washington, D.C., does not lead the nation.
This was a big week for the political press. That means it was also a good week for highlighting how the world of the political elite is so out of touch with the world of everyday Americans.
In recent weeks, I've written about how the "Bootleggers and Baptists" dynamic corrupts regulatory politics. Bruce Yandle developed this concept decades ago. He observed that Prohibition became reality because Baptists wanted people to stop drinking while the ban on legal alcohol put money in the Bootlegger's pockets. The do-gooders succeeded only because the money-grubbers joined their effort.
Heading into the 2014 elections, some Democrats think they have found a way to minimize the political fallout from the president's health care law. They have convinced themselves that voters are more interested in fixing the law rather than repealing it.
In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ended legal segregation in public schools with a unanimous 9-0 decision in Brown v. Board of Education.
Conservatives and liberals had entirely different reactions to the recent confrontation between Attorney General Eric Holder and Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert. After the event, Holder expressed his view that no previous attorney general or president had ever had to deal with such treatment and that the reason had to do with race.
I am an optimist. I believe that America's best days are still to come and today's children will live a life far better than their parents and grandparents.
"A simple recipe for violence: promise a lot, deliver a little. Lead people to believe they will be much better off, but let there be no dramatic improvement." The brilliant political scientist Aaron Wildavsky wrote these words in 1968 while America was engulfed in race riots and anti-war protests.
Many reporters caught up in the bizarre world of official Washington have written extensively on political tactics and implications of the so-called government shutdown and disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov.
Mitt Romney's comments about 47 percent of Americans being dependent on government and locked in to vote for President Obama highlight a fundamental reality in American politics today: The gap between the American people and the political class is bigger than the gap between Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C.
The health care debate is a great example of why Americans hate politics.
Mercifully, the political conventions have ended. The political press will keep buzzing over whether Clint Eastwood's unconventional speech helped or hurt Mitt Romney and whether the snafu over Israel and God in the Democratic platform will do any lasting damage to President Obama. But they are missing the point.

Dragon!Norway x Reader ~The Dragonheart~ Final
~Chapter 45~ Final
"My tears!" you shouted at the top of your lungs when Mathias handed over his cape to your dragon and you gave his brother one of your layers.
"All those hours I spent mourning for you! All of those tears wept and swollen eyes and fits of hiccups! Give them back! I almost went mad, damn you! Give them all back, I said!"
Emil blushed and shied away behind his cape. Lukas, on the other hand, stepped in front of his little brother to defend the both of them from your onslaught of meanderings and punches.
"_____________, you have to understand that if my brother's body didn't expire—Hey! Stop that! I mean it! Don't make me do something drastic!"
"You're the worst!" you screeched and continued to pummel the How-Dare-He-Lie-To-You Sucker Dragon Dung Fish-Face over and over again. All the while, the other dragons were watching in mild amusement.
Emil tried to step in and hold you back.

Always Be My Prince? (happy ending)
Years had already passed since Lukas and (Name) took their full responsibilities as countries and had parted ways. Ever since then, they rarely had time to see each other, even though they were the best of allies. On a few occasions, they would spot each other at meetings, but were always separated by their wall of friends. Lukas had begun to find it normal for (Name) to not be by his side, but at times, he found it quite lonely.
Today was just a regular boring day in the Nordic household for Lukas. Everyone chatting at the table (except for himself and Berwald), Mathias drinking beer, Mathias getting drunk, Lukas having to choke the sense into the 'King' and everyone else freaking out.
Lukas was just down with his choking session on Mathias when he heard a soft yet loud knock on the door. As he walked to the door, he was more than surprised to see (Name) stan

"(Name), if you want to come meet the other Nordics, you need to get out of bed," said an emotionless Lukas, leaning against the frame of the door in his usual sailor outfit. He was staring intently at the big mass of blankets that was on the bed.

It was just a regular day in the Nordic household. A loud puffin, a loud certain Dane, choking, invisible troll and the other usual. It was only seven in the morning, and everyone was already chatting at the dining table, except for young (Name).
"Hoy~!!! Norge!!! My capital is this big~!!!" The Dane emphasized the length by stretching his fingers out, with a gap over twelve inches long. All the other Nordics soon became disgusted with what the eldest brother said.
"A-ah, M-mathias. Your, um, capital can't be that big...." Tino, being as sweet and 'innocent' as he was, pointed out with an embarrassed blush on his face.

It was perfect early morning in Norway. The sun had barely risen by the time, and no one wanted to wake up just yet. The animals were still in their nests or dens. Everyone was still asleep by the time, except for two.
"Lukas! Come on, I wanna see the fairies! Pleaaaase! You promised!" A six year old girl in a simple (f/c) sundress with her hair tied up into a high ponytail whined. She was trying to drag a blonde boy with midnight blue eyes in a pair of simple clothing away from the playground. The girl failed epically, but it made sense since the boy was four years older than her.
"(Name), if you act like that, you'll probably scare them away," Lukas said monotonously to the (h/c) haired girl.

It had started as a regular day, choking Mathias, talking to fairies and the usual default expression. However, all that ended when he was called to his boss's office.
"Norway, I have recently received news concerning about our old ally, (Country Name). Due to the major economic issues, (Country Name) has fallen and will be dissolved completely tomorrow morning.

She walked back to the boy, Lukas, and sat down with her arms and legs crossed and a frown on her face.

Historical Traveler Reviews Paul's Motor Inn Victoria
Great price, free parking, great location
I stayed there over BC day weekend last summer and really enjoyed the spacious room and convenient location with such a great price. It is an easy walk to Chinatown and then onto to the shopping area and the harbor. Victoria is a wonderful vacation spot.
I would defintely recommend it for travelers on a budget.
Standard motel accomodations
Paul's Motor Inn provided basic motel standard facilities for an ok price if you just show up and ask for a room or for a very good price if you book ahead via Expedia or some other travel site. Had we booked online it woulda cost us 50% less! That said the room was very big, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was clean.
The location is decent, but if you're walking back to the motel at night on Government St. make sure you don't continue too much further North past the hotel, as I'm sure those girls on the sidewalk weren't waiting for taxis ;-)
Great place to stay
My girlfriend and I stayed here during August and found this to be the only place we could get for under $100 a night. It was our first trip to Victoria and we were very happy with the accomodations. It may not be the fanciest place but our room was clean and a good size. The inn was within walking distance of most tourist attractions and having a restaurant on location was convienient. The service was good and we definetly recommend this as a good place to stay.
Eh....it's ok
My wife and I stayed here in early August and found the accomodations to be average. We would probably opt to stay somewhere with air conditioning and a continental breakfast in the future. However, it was pretty cheap.
Nice Lobby
Just stayed here Sept 04. Yes it is a good price. The restaurant has good service and good food. And the Lobby has been well kept. But our room was run down and not very clean. There were big black tar like stains on the carpet, we kept our shoes on the whole time. This is a motel with outside access only and our window had no REAL lock just a piece of wood to jam it closed. The bedside lamp should have had 2 blubs but had only one. The other lights were above the TV, so it was difficult to read at the bed. The top of the chest of drawers was cracked. There was a pocket door to the bathroom you could close it but had to push it with your foot and shoulder to open it. We won't stay here again. I know there are other places as well priced.
It's so-so
I stayed here with my parents and boyfriend for one night at the end of july. It was during a heat wave. A warning for all people...there is no air conditioning at this motel. I recently came back from hawaii and got so used to every hotel having air con that it never even entered my mind to ask. The room had a fan. Our fan broke at about 3 in the morning so we actually had no fan. It was unbearable. Probably the worst nights sleep ever. Other than the heat our stay was ok. The rooms were very clean. The bathroom was clean. They had a coffee maker in the room, which was good, and they had cable tv. The mattresses on the bed were way too soft for my liking though. Overall it was ok. If you have the money, stay somewhere with air con if it's hot out. If not, be prepared to sweat. I would personally not stay here again but others might not find it so bad.
Would stay here again.
Great Value, I got a very low price through Expedia! Saving so much on the hotel allowed us to see all the sites, and eat in nice restaurants. It wasn't fancy but the room was very clean, comfortable, and in a convienent location. I'd stay here again.
Good value for money
This is a reasonably priced hotel particularly if you get a good deal through Expedia or Priceline. The hotel and the restaurant are dated, but in a nice, homey way. We've been here 5 times and have no complaints. Everything is in order and in reasonably good shape.
It's about ten short blocks (or a quick public bus ride) into the Inner Harbour area.
Smelly "nonsmoking" room
The reception staff were grim, unfriendly and unwelcoming. It was our first visit to Victoria but we received a cold welcome. When we went to our room - which was supposed to be non-smoking - it smelled really bad - of tobacco. When we wanted to the coffee-maker, we noticed that it had not been cleaned - the used filter bag was still there. When we returned to Victoria after a few days, we made it a point not to stay at Paul's Motor Inn!
Value for money
This is a great place within walking distance to everything downtown.
Clean, reasonable and in a safe neighborhood.

Poisoned by our ignorance
Oblivious to reality
Conscience spurned
Beyond the point of no return

PHOTOS: Black Friday draws big crowds in Collier, South Lee
Just after midnight, Nghia Doan stepped up to the blue tape stretched in a line across the sidewalk. He was more than four hours early, just the way the 23-year-old had planned it.
Hundreds would line up behind him as they waited for Best Buy on Naples Boulevard to open its doors to Black Friday sales.
"I wanted to be first," Doan said.
Doors opened at 5 a.m., and while the day is known to kick off the Christmas shopping season, Black Friday also entices people like Doan to stock up on electronics for themselves.
"I want to buy a television, laptop, washing machine," he said. "This is for my house." It was the first time Doan had stood in line for door-buster deals and he's not sure if he'll be back next year.
"It's crazy," he said.
That's what Mariana Birmingham thought of the line that stretched past Staples, past the recently out-of-business Golf Galaxy and into the Costco parking lot.
"I'm not a person who camps out," she said. "It's just crazy. There are good deals, but not that good." Still, Birmingham started her deal hunting at midnight at Walmart, then on to Kohl's.
Her wait was made a little easier when a Best Buy employee handed her a gift card.
With two computers, a Blu-ray player and a camera in his shopping cart at Best Buy, Francisco Gonzalez said he feels good to be able to buy gifts this year.
"Last year, we didn't buy anything," Gonzalez recalled. "We made dinner and stayed home." The 32-year-old yard maintenance company owner said he could tell the economy is improving.
Last year, Gonzalez had two regular clients. This year he has 25.
"People feel better and spend," he said. "This year, I can get a couple things."
Collier County Sheriff's deputies were on scene at Best Buy to keep an eye on the crowd that could get a little testy at times.
When employees began distributing vouchers for prized goods, such as laptops, some people cut in front of others who had been waiting for hours. When they protested, employees kicked the line-hoppers out of the queue.
It was just about 5 a.m. when doors opened and the first wave of shoppers flowed in. Some walked, some ran, the impatient weaving around the casual.
Shouts of "stop pushing, stop pushing" could be heard as people funneled in to the popular store. With sleep still in their eyes, they streamed past stacks of TV's and game systems.
Some shoppers worked the buddy system. One claimed a bulky box containing a 42-inch flat-screen TV while the other went for the cart, making sure they got what they came for.
Many were on cell phones checking in with friends and family to see if there was anything else they needed.
While some were still running from aisle to aisle, others were already at the checkout just minutes after the doors opened. They waited for hours for one thing and were wasting no time moving on to their next store — or to bed — for the first time in 24 hours.
Across town, the Coastland Center mall looked like a buzzing Saturday afternoon by 8 a.m., the chatter, crinkling of bags and desperate yells from frustrated parents all seamlessly moving under a wafting cloud of baking pretzels.
"It's been nice and quiet, no problems," Naples police officer Mike Herman said. "The crowd has been building slowly as more stores start to open."
Since most students are on Thanksgiving break now, there's a younger look to the crowd. Sweatshirts with teen pop star Justin Bieber are a popular item, but not as much as the Xbox Kinect, which is $149 withouth the Xbox and $299 with the Xbox. GameStop offered some games with it.
"Mostly, the games are the ones that went down," said Madeline Bowman, sales associate. "(The) only deal is on the PSP, where you can save 40 bucks." GameStop also allows those wanting to upgrade their game system to either trade in their old one and put it towards a new system, or get store credit.
Aldo at Coastland Center was offering 30 percent off select styles. Store employee James Faircloth was tending to customers since they opened at 6 a.m.
"I've probably already met my sales goal for the day," said Faircloth. While the mall was in full swing at the early hour, the change in his work schedule had Faircloth saying out of habit, "Have a good night."
Throughout Coastland Center, men were lounging on chairs and couches, holding bags, while women were searching for deals.
Martin Krauss was one of those men. He was out shopping with his wife and daughter.
"It's shop 'til you drop," he said, moving the bags off his body and onto the floor. "I just let them shop, as long as I can find a chair every once in a while." Though the ladies were on a quest for the latest fashions, Krauss was hoping to get a deal on a netbook digital reader, like a Kindle.
With the recession technically in the past, a recovery has yet to be felt by some.
Even in stores stocked with discounts, Donna Scudder, a 40-year-old home health worker did not have a cart full of gadgets or a mile-long shopping list.
She and her 10-year-old son, Carter, were just out to browse and watch the excitement of the hustle and bustle.
"I almost don't want to do presents at all this year," Scudder said, while shopping at Best Buy in North Naples. "I want to just enjoy the family. Honestly, we have enough." While that wouldn't fly with her family, she said, she is spending less this year than she has in the past, before the economy went cold.
Scudder was fortunate enough to have kept her house and job, but she can't shake the fear that her luck could change in the future.
"My clients are 90 years old and up and they say: 'Save your money,'" Scudder recounted.
Black Friday shopping opened at the Target near Immokalee Road in North Naples to the longest line in store history, stretching across the shopping plaza outside the store beginning at about 2 a.m. for the earliest shoppers looking to find the best deals.
Niki Tonnessen, the store manager, said the hottest items were electronics: the 40-inch TV, a GPS and the iPod Touch.
Once the doors opened at 4 a.m., the lines outside quickly disappated but turned into seemingly longer checkout lines inside the store.
The earliest shoppers grabbed-up the best deals. Those TVs were cleaned out in less than 15 minutes.
Yuri Machim was in the front of the line before the store opened with friends waiting to score some of those 40-inch flat-screen TVs for under $300. Machim and company had been shopping or waiting in line at stores with the best Black Friday deals since 4 p.m. on Thursday, she said. They ate leftover turkey and Thanksgiving sides while in line.
After grabbing two gaming chairs and a couple of the flat-screens, Machim said her Black Friday journey was done. With glassy eyes, she stood in front of her shopping carts while waiting for friends to get through the busy check-out lines.
She said a quick nap would be her only respite between her Black Friday shopping trip and her job at Costco, which she would have to get to in a matter of hours.
"It's a game," said Eileen Johnson of New Smyrna Beach as she took a breather outside of the Gulf Coast Town Center's Target store. Her daughter, Mindy Johnson, an FGCU student, was at Best Buy getting a deal.
The mother and daughter spent Wednesday into early Thursday morning eating turkey and planning their attack for Black Friday, which started when the clock struck midnight at Miromar Outlets.
Outside of Babies R Us, Catherine Lott of Fort Myers didn't buy presents, but instead loaded up on baby food, diapers and baby wipes which were drastically marked down. She has two boys, ages 2 and 9 months. Grandma Rosemary Fronabarger was in town from Annapolis, Md., helping her load the back of her van.
"It's better to be shopping here in warm weather," Fronabarger said.
Bass Pro Shops was a popular place for men, women and children alike.
Joshua Johnson, 25, of Orlando, visiting his parents in Fort Myers, was experiencing his first Black Friday.
"They're decent deals," he said of the items he had purchased earlier. "I'm happy to get $200 off the normal price of 500 or 600 bucks. It's good." David Templeton and his daughter, Morgan, 9, were in Santa's Wonderland at Bass Pro Shops. They had camped out in the parking lot as part of the store's camping event. But, they were the only ones there.
Templeton didn't mind too much, but Morgan said her dad was kind of boring. Her mother, Jennifer, was busy shopping elsewhere within Gulf Coast Town Center.
Morgan wants Santa to bring her an electric scooter, while Dad, who works for Lighthouse Landscape Lighting, hopes to get "a better economy."
Tonnessen, North Naples Target manager, thinks the economy is improving. She said the store broke its hour-long sales record Friday, which is consistent with the steady rise in sales the store has seen in recent months.
Although shoppers go out on Black Friday for the sales, she said this year's deals were not much different than previous years. Still, this year's sales have improved.
"People are out shopping," she said. She predicted this fourth quarter sales will be the 3-year-old store's best.

With this scientific and historical background, in July 1997, the academician TAN Jia-Zhen petitioned the
central government, appealing for the protection of the Chinese genetic resources, and proposed to establish the
national human genome center to speed up the human genome research in China. This petition attracted great
attention from the Party Central Committee and the State Council. JIANG Ze-Min, the General Secretary of the
Party and the President of the People's Republic of China, wrote: "One, who did not think far enough ahead,
inevitably may have trouble right-a-way. We have to cherish our genetic resources." Thus, the Shanghai Human

More Americans support same-sex marriage today than a decade ago, but a majority still believe sex acts between people of the same gender are "morally wrong."
These and other findings were released the same day the state-level battle over same-sex marriage intensified, as a federal judge in Texas joined courts in Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia in striking down a voter-approved provision recognizing only traditional man-woman marriages as legal.
A survey of 4,500 adults said public support for same-sex marriage has grown to 53 percent, a significant jump from 32 percent in 2003, when Massachusetts became the first state to recognize same-sex marriage.
SEE ALSO: Black pastors group calls for Eric Holder impeachment over gay marriage
The increase was driven by younger Americans, ages 18 to 33, as well as more people reporting having gay friends or family members, according to the report from Public Religion Research Institute.
The generation gap is huge — 69 percent of millennials support same-sex marriage, compared with 37 percent of Americans in the silent generation, who are 68 or older, said Robert P. Jones, chief executive and founder of the institute.
Having a close friend or family member who is gay also has "a profound effect" on support, said Daniel Cox, director of research for PRRI.
In 1993, 22 percent of people reported having a close relationship with someone who is gay. By 2013, that number had jumped to 65 percent.
People with friends or family who are gay are much more likely to support same-sex marriage than those without such relationships — 63 percent to 36 percent, said the report, which was funded by the Ford Foundation.
The survey revealed strong support for same-sex parenting and strong opposition to discrimination against sexual minorities, but also — ironically — a widely held belief that gay sex acts are immoral and same-sex marriage violates religious principles.
Fifty-one percent of respondents said "sex between two adults of the same gender" is morally wrong. An equal majority said same-sex marriage "completely" or "mostly" goes against their religious convictions.
The survey further showed that Americans vastly overestimate the number of people who are gay — 22 percent thought it was a third of the U.S. population.
Only 14 percent of respondents correctly answered that 5 percent or less of the U.S. population is gay, said the PRRI study, noting that in its own data, 1 percent of respondents said they were gay, 1 percent said they were lesbian, 1 percent said they were transgender and 3 percent said they were bisexual.
The survey also asked about the origin of homosexuality and found that 44 percent of Americans believe it is inborn, 36 percent think it develops from upbringing or environment, and 14 percent think it is a combination of nature and nurture.
Respondents' beliefs about the basis of homosexuality influenced their views about same-sex marriage: About 76 percent of those who believe being gay is inborn support same-sex marriage, while 67 percent of those who think it is derived mostly from outside influences oppose same-sex unions.
Evan Wolfson, founder and president of Freedom to Marry, a gay-advocacy marriage group, praised the PRRI study — and the Texas ruling — but encouraged more discussions.
