Game gives Indy Super challenge
Victory Field turning into Beach Bowl venue, A-list nightclub
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | February 3, 2012 5:19 AM ET
That would be Victory Field, located on the corner of West and Maryland Streets in downtown Indianapolis, a 14,000-capacity facility that has housed the Triple-A Indians since 1996. Those in town for the Super Bowl and its myriad attendant festivities might have trouble identifying it as such, however, as Victory Field doesn't look like its usual self these days. Randy Lewandowski, the club's assistant general manager, sums up the stadium's current condition thusly: "It's a beach inside an airplane hangar, that's the best way to describe it."
Surely, a Minor League Baseball stadium has never been described in this way. This is because, just as surely, a Minor League Baseball park has never been transformed into the host venue for the annual DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl (this year's version takes place on Saturday). It's amazing what a million pounds of sand, a concert stage, LED ribbonboards and specially constructed bleacher sections can do -- especially when it's all housed within a structure large enough to accommodate a Boeing 767.
The transformation
Victory Field's current condition is the result of nearly a year's worth of planning. For soon after Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay cohorts defeated Pittsburgh in Super Bowl 45, event organizers traveled to Indianapolis to, as Lewandoski puts it, "kick the tires" on potential Super Bowl 46 event venues. With its prodigious capacity and close proximity to Lucas Oil Field, Victory Field was an obvious standout. With one notable exception, of course -- very few people want to attend, or host, an outdoor event in early February.
But this did not deter DirecTV, who, after reaching a lease agreement with the Indians, erected a 54,000-square-foot heated tent that encompasses the entirety of the outfield. The space can accommodate 5,000 people, all of them presumably eager to see celebrities play touch football on an artificial beach. This mammoth third-party undertaking has, to some extent, made the team's front office strangers in their own home.
"We pride ourselves on running a good operation on the baseball side of things, but there are things going on with this that are completely foreign to us," said Lewandowski, who directs stadium operations for the Indians.
Indeed, what would a Triple-A baseball team know about, say, orchestrating a pre-event red carpet featuring celebrities A-list and otherwise (Pauly D from Jersey Shore is the event's guest DJ)? But that's not to imply that the Indians are staying entirely on the sandy sidelines.
"I think that we've been a great help locally, connecting [DirecTV] with vendors and folks that we've worked with through the years," said Lewandowski. "When they throw out those kinds of questions, we can tell them where they need to go."
And as a result of all these "Super" goings-ons, Lewandowski has had to adjust his typical offseason routine. The Celebrity Beach Bowl has made it necessary to "de-winterize" the facility -- using trace heating to unfreeze pipes, pumping heat into restroom and concession areas and other such tasks. Then once the event is over and the Super Bowl circus has left town, it will be time to "re-winterize."

Tough times
But the de- and re-winterization of Victory Field is a (literal and figurative) walk in the park compared to the primary task that the Indians will be faced with once the Super Bowl has faded into a hazy memory -- re-constructing the playing field. Lewandowski expresses complete confidence in the sub-contractor who has been overseeing Victory Field's current transformation, and great precautions have been taken to ensure that no damage will result to the drainage and irrigation system.
But the simple fact is that the outfield grass is now deader than the proverbial doornail. The task of re-constructing the field falls to head groundskeeper Joey Stevenson, who looks at his predicament with a mixture of pride, frustration and resignation.
"Last year we won Field of the Year, so to see it get destroyed within a day or so was kind of a shock," said Stevenson, who was named the 2011 Triple-A Sports Turf Manager of the Year. "Lots of groundskeepers are against having extra events on the field, but I look at it as a challenge. This hasn't been done before, so it'll be another bullet point on my resume. ... This helps the Indians, and it helps the bottom line. It won't happen again, and it was going to happen with or without me. So I had to get on board regardless."
Groundskeepers are a close-knit fraternity, and Stevenson's peers have been monitoring his situation with interest.
"The groundskeepers from the [Columbus] Clippers and [Dayton] Dragons have been over here to check it out, and I worked with the Phillies' Mike Boekholder for a summer so I've been calling him. He recently had to deal with the [NHL's] Winter Classic, which was somewhat similar. "I've been calling a lot of people to see what they think," he continued. "When someone tells you they'll be putting a million pounds of sand and 1,700 tons of gravel on the field, you start to get a little worried."
As soon as the last remnants of the Celebrity Beach Bowl have been carted away, Stevenson and his crew will strip the field and then go about installing a new layer of thick-cut sod shipped in from New Jersey. He'll begin planting grass seed "the very next minute," praying for warm weather and amenable growing conditions all the while.
"I can see the light at the end of the tunnel," he said.
In the spotlight
For now, the Indians are content to bask in the Super Bowl's glow. All this week, Dan Patrick has been broadcasting his syndicated sports show from Victory Field. And following Saturday afternoon's Beach Bowl, the stadium will be transformed into what organizers are calling "an upscale nightclub" where pop superstar Katy Perry will perform.
"Victory Field has been getting a lot of love in and out of every [Dan Patrick Show] commercial break. He's broadcasting live from the PNC Plaza just through the main gates in center field," said Lewandowski. "And he's had all sorts of guests coming through here, guys like Bob Costas, Tony Dungy and Cris Collinsworth."
Lewandowski says it's too early gauge the effect that this onslaught of publicity will have on ticket and merchandise, but, clearly, it can only help. And regardless, the team is relishing its anomalous position within the Minor League Baseball landscape.
"Every market has its positives and negatives. The Colts are a perennial 10-win team, Super Bowl champions and the talk of the town," he said. "They're the big gorilla, and we have to compete with that in some respects. ... But this is a great opportunity to raise awareness of Victory Field and how we fit into the downtown scene. This is something that's unique to our market."

This year's Golden Deeds award winner G. Lee Griffin has always dedicated his time to the community, according to his good friend Millie Groner.
Groner said that when Griffin and his wife, Barrie, were on vacation in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit south Louisiana, they came back to Baton Rouge to see if they could help with the disaster relief.
"That's just the kind of character he has," Groner said. "He's willing to help anyone."
Griffin was honored for his civic duty Monday night as the 71st Golden Deeds winner at a banquet at the Renaissance Hotel on Bluebonnet Boulevard.
The Golden Deeds is an award bestowed annually to a local philanthropist by the Inter-Civic Council and The Advocate.
Griffin has served as president and CEO of the LSU Foundation, which provides financial support to LSU and its institutions, since July 2011. He retired in 1999 as CEO and chairman of Bank One of Louisiana, which is now Chase.
Groner said Griffin "is such a wonderful man."
Griffin said in an interview before the banquet that he was humbled to win an award he considers among the top honors in Baton Rouge.
"It's great to have my family here to enjoy this night," he said. "I'm not sure I deserve this."
Bill Griffin, Lee Griffin's son, said his mother called him the day his father won the award.
"She left me a message because she knew my dad wouldn't say anything about it," he said.
Bill Griffin said he was not surprised his father won the award because he instilled a sense of giving in his three children beginning when they were young.
"Growing up as a young child, (I saw) he was always active in the community," he said.
Bill Griffin said his father continues to work hard to this day with the LSU Foundation.
"But he's enjoying it," he said.
Richard Lipsey, the 2011 winner of the Golden Deeds award, said he has known Griffin since he was on the board of directors of Louisiana National Bank in the early 1970s.
Lipsey said Chuck McCoy, the president and CEO of Louisiana National Bank before Griffin, had Griffin picked out as his successor early in Griffin's career.
"Chuck had his eye on Lee from the day Lee worked at the bank," Lipsey said. "Everybody had their eye on Lee. He was a natural leader."
Lipsey said he was honored to have Griffin join the Golden Deeds club.
"It makes people like me that have received the award feel even more honored," he said.
David C. Manship, publisher of The Advocate, said he could not think of anyone more deserving of the Golden Deeds award than Griffin.
"I've known Lee for many years and have always been impressed with the amount of civic duty that he does," Manship said.
Dan Borne, president of the Louisiana Chemical Association and the public address announcer for Tiger Stadium, said in his keynote speech that volunteerism is powered by one person asking groups of people to make changes in others' lives.
"Lee knew how to call from others the desire to serve," Borne said.
Griffin has served on numerous boards in his career, including the Baton Rouge Speech and Hearing Foundation, the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge, the Council for a Better Louisiana, the Baton Rouge Area Foundation and the Public Affairs Research Council.
Griffin is a past president and general campaign chairman of Capital Area United Way, which distributes funds to a number of charitable organizations in the Baton Rouge metro area.
Griffin helped found the Committee of 100 in Louisiana, an organization of business leaders dedicated to economic development.
Griffin is a previous winner of the National Conference of Christians and Jews' Brotherhood Award.
Born in Kansas, Griffin earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1960 and a master's in economics and finance from LSU in 1962.

PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Big 5 announced its Hall of Fame class for the 2013-14 season, and the four-person list includes 2000 University of Pennsylvania graduate Michael Jordan from men's basketball.
Jordan will be formally inducted at the Big 5 Basketball Banquet on Monday, April 14 along with Pat Carroll (Saint Joseph's 2002-05), Crista Ricketts (La Salle 2003-07), and media member Dick "Hoops" Weiss. The Big 5 will also honor its 2013-14 men's and women's award winners at the banquet, making the evening a true celebration of Big 5 basketball past and present. The banquet will begin at 6 p.m. on the floor of The Palestra; tickets are still available to the event and are $50 each. Please contact Steve Crider at the Big 5 office to purchase tickets.
(From a Penn standpoint, the banquet that night will also include the presentation of current senior Alyssa Baron as the Big 5 Women's Player of the Year; Sydney Stipanovich as the Big 5 Women's Rookie of the Year; and Mike McLaughlin as the Big 5 Women's Coach of the Year.)
Jordan was a three-time first-team All-Big 5 selection during his career (1998, 1999, 2000), and won the Big 5'sCy Kaselman Award in 2000 (best free-throw percentage among Big 5 players). The 2000 Ivy League Player of the Year and1997 Ivy League Rookie of the Yearalso was a three-time first-team All-Ivy pick (1998, 1999, 2000) who led Penn to Ivy titles in 1999 and 2000, the Quakers going a combined 27-1 in league play in those years.
Jordan graduated third on Penn's all-time scoring list with 1,604 points, behind only Ernie Beck and Keven McDonald, and was second in program history in career assists behind only Jerome Allen (469); third in career steals, behind Allen and Matt Maloney (147); sixth in career 3-point FG (176); and eighth in career free throws made (332).
Jordan, who was only the second player in program history to start more than 100 games in his career, was the first player to lead the team in assists all four seasons he played, dating back to 1978-79 when the stat was first officially kept -- a feat that has only been matched once since his graduation. He also led Penn in scoring and steals steals straight seasons (1998, 1999, 2000).

After a miscarriage
I had a miscarriage in August after which my doctor asked me to wait till 2 regular periods before we start again. What are the important things or steps to consider after a miscarriage? Do you visit a doctor before trying to conceive again or just start trying after the required amount of time that the doctor suggests you to?

Dear sonu84,
How are you?
Thanks for posting your question here and apologies for the delay in replying.
Miscarriages are unfortunately quite common and it is thought that around 1 in 5 pregnancies end in a miscarriage. Unless a doctor advises otherwise, you can start trying to conceive again once your cycles are back to normal.
It would even be safe to conceive, for the majority of women, immediately following a miscarriage (i.e. before they had another period). This isn't generally advised because, in this case, a woman could get a false pregnancy test if the miscarriage was still causing the pregnancy hormone to show on the test. Waiting two cycles avoids this possibility and also allows some time to recover physically and start to deal with the emotions of the loss that has so sadly been experienced (the later may be a lifelong process).
You would not normally need to visit a doctor before trying to conceive again.
Best wishes,

Photos: Bodies of firefighters killed in Arizona come home
LOS ALAMITOS -- The hundreds of mourners who gathered under a gray sky to pay tribute to fallen firefighters Kevin Woyjeck and Christopher MacKenzie stood in silence as they awaited a C-130 Hercules aircraft bearing the bodies of the young men who lost their lives battling an Arizona wildfire.
The assembled mourners included many firefighters wearing the dress blue uniforms of urban fire agencies or the olive green uniforms of wildland firefighters. They stood at attention on the tarmac at the airfield of the Joint Forces Training Base for the duration of Wednesday's ceremonies in memory of Woyjeck and MacKenzie.
The pair were also remembered by dozens of members of the Patriot Guard Riders, many of whom carried Old Glory as they also stood in near-total silence to pay their respects. The two men were among the 19 firefighters - five of whom were from California - who died June 30 fighting the Yarnell fire in Arizona.
Woyjeck, 21, of Seal Beach, was the son of a Los Angeles County Fire Department captain who had aspired since childhood to follow his father's example.
MacKenzie was one of two fallen firefighters from the Riverside County city of Hemet.
There were no eulogies at Wednesday's ceremonies.
Mourners remained silent as the C-130 carrying the bodies of Woyjeck and MacKenzie touched down at Los Alamitos and taxied along the runway, eventually coming to a stop before the assembled gathering.
There were no words as the aircraft's cargo door slowly opened to reveal the flag-draped caskets belonging to Woyjeck and MacKenzie.
And there were no speeches to be heard before the snapping reports of a beating drum announced the traditional strains of "Amazing Grace" as a pipe and drum band played the hymn while an honor guard brought the first of the two caskets from the aircraft to the hearse that would bring the occupant to his final resting place.
The silence resumed and the firefighters who represented the many Southern California agencies that sent representatives to honor the fallen men continued to stand at attention for several minutes.
"Amazing Grace" broke the silence a second time, and a member of the Patriot Guard Riders shouted for his fellow mourners to stand at attention and raise their flags high as the honor guard escorted the second of the two caskets to a waiting hearse.
Family members of the fallen firefighters gathered around the hearses before the memorial processions that would take both men on their final journeys.
Several pieces of Los Angeles County fire apparatus followed Woyjeck's hearse as it left the Los Alamitos base for Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Long Beach. Woyjeck's father, Joe Woyjeck, is a captain in the department.
Los Angeles County Fire Battalion Chief Ken Wiles said after the conclusion of Wednesday's ceremony that he and the elder Woyjeck served together as paramedics earlier in their careers. Wiles and dozens of Los Angeles County firefighters have volunteered about 60 hours of their time to perform home improvements at the Woyjeck's family home in the wake of the Arizona tragedy.The younger Woyjeck had aspired to join the Los Angeles County Fire Department. He was a Fire Explorer before working for Care Ambulance Service and the Prescott, Ariz.-based Granite Mountain Hotshots in preparation for a career in the county department. The Hotshots group is a specialized unit dedicated to wildland firefighting. Nineteen of its 20 members died in the Yarnell fire.
"He (Kevin Woyjeck) was a great kid. What do you want to do?" Wiles said. "He wanted to be part of the fire family, part of the fire service."
"His dad couldn't have been more proud," Wiles added.

LOS ANGELES — The California Supreme Court refused Wednesday to hear the case against a man convicted of two felony counts stemming from the March 2010 beating death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son in Long Beach.
The state's highest court denied a defense petition seeking review of the case against Hector Ernest Jr.
In October, a three-justice panel from California's 2 nd District Court of Appeals rejected Ernest's contention that there was insufficient evidence to support his April 2011 conviction for assault on a child causing death and child abuse.
The appellate court justices ruled that the evidence of Ernest's guilt was "compelling" and "substantial."
In a 21-page ruling, the appeals court panel found that Ernest "showed a consciousness of guilt by lying to the police" about having a relationship with the boy's mother, Cameo Green, and by leaving and never returning to the hospital where the boy, Deandre, was taken.
The boy died March 20, 2010, from blunt force trauma.
During an interview with police, Ernest denied having any involvement in the boy's death, disciplining him, having an intimate relationship with Green or living with her, according to the appellate court panel's ruling.
Green - who testified during Ernest's trial - pleaded guilty to one felony count of child abuse and was sentenced to six years in state prison.

GPD: Do you know this possible suspect?
Published: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 3:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 3:46 p.m.
Police are looking for a man suspected of committing several vehicle burglaries in Alachua County.
"He is possibly riding a bicycle and has been seen each time carrying the same black single shoulder book bag," Gainesville Police Department spokesman Officer Ben Tobias said of the suspect they are hunting. "The suspect will obtain credit cards by breaking into unlocked vehicles and then attempt to use the cards at area stores."
Tobias reminded car owners to lock vehicles and remove belongings every time they leave the vehicle. Police have released two photographs of the suspect and are asking for help in identifying him.
If you have any information about the suspect, Tobias said, contact dispatch at 955-1818 or text "GPDFL" plus your tip to 274637 (CRIMES).

Brevard downed 78-67 by conference leader Lenoir-RhyneJanuary 6, 2010
Brevard, N.C. - Samantha Winn led the Tornados for the eleventh straight game with 15 points, along with Brianna Worley who also scored 15 for Brevard. Cameron Sealey led the first place Lenoir-Rhyne Bears with 18 points and three steals, en route to a 78-67 victory over the Tornados Wednesday night in Boshamer Gymnasium.
The win moves Lenoir-Rhyne into first place in the conference with a 3-0 SAC record and 10-3 overall record, while the Tornados fall to 0-3 in the SAC and 5-6 overall.
Lenoir-Rhyne scored the first nine points of the game and then continued their run, leading the Tornados 22-3 through the first ten minutes of play.
Led by Worley's four for six performance from beyond the arc, and a spark from a group of freshman Brevard cut the Bears' lead to eleven in the first half before ending the half down 39-23. Worley was the only Tornado player in the first half to score more than two.
Winn, who had just two points and no rebounds in the first half came back after the intermission scoring 13 and grabbing three rebounds, while Anna Schlobohm, who also had just two points in the first half, scored 11 in the second helping Brevard pull back with in seven points in the half.
In addition to Sealey, Lenoir-Rhyne had two additional players in double figures, Denise Moore with 16, and Brittany Mitch with 11.
The Bears also out rebounded the Tornados 38-19 led by Amber Holt with seven, but were outshot by Brevard from the free throw line and three point arc.
Freshman, Tempestt Mack led the home team in rebounds pulling down five.
Brevard is back in action on Saturday when they travel to Harrogate, Tenn. for another conference match against Lincoln-Memorial University at 2:00 p.m.

Two Young Salt Lake Valley Boys Are Lucky to be Alive
The value of knowing CPR was demonstrated in two separate near-drowning incidents Wednesday, as a pair of young boys might have died if people hadn't known the lifesaving procedure.
A 2-year-old West Valley boy, and a 4-year-old West Jordan boy, were each treated at Primary Children's Medical Center.
Emergency responders to each incident, say the quick actions taken by people before they arrived likely saved the boys' lives.
In each instance, the boys were given CPR before emergency response personnel arrived.
Authorities remind parents, during this swimming and water play season, it is critical to keep an eye on children playing near water at all times.

Verlander, Leyland shine for Tigers
Brother of Tigers ace hits first professional homer in win
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | June 26, 2013 6:56 PM ET
It sounds pretty familiar: Verlander and Leyland lead the Tigers to a win.
Only this Tigers win was in surburban Connecticut and neither Ben Verlander or Pat Leyland, both 21-year-old Minor Leaguers, have ever won Cy Young Awards or managed a team to the World Series.
Tigers fans can probably do the math on this one -- Verlander is the younger brother of Detroit ace Justin Verlander and Leyland is the son of Tigers manager Jim Leyland. Both helped steer the Class A Short-Season Connecticut Tigers past the visiting Vermont Lake Monsters, 10-3, at Dodd Stadium on Wednesday.
Verlander, an outfielder, went 2-for-4 with his first career home run while Leyland singled and knocked home a pair of runs.
Drafted by the Tigers earlier this month in the 14th round out of Old Dominion, Verlander was playing in just his seventh professional game when he took Vermont starter Jose Torres deep with a man on and one out in the first. The first baseman doubled home Curt Powell in the second as Connecticut (3-6) took a 5-1 lead after two innings.
Leyland singled home Duncan McAlpine and Javier Azcona to cap a four-run first. The first baseman, drafted as an eighth-rounder in 2010, has a few more years of experience than Verlander. He began the season with Class A Advanced Lakeland, batting .168 with two RBIs in 25 games after spending all of 2012 with Class A West Michigan, where he hit .237 with a pair of long balls and 24 RBIs in 68 games. He began his career with the GCL Tigers in 2010 and appeared in 35 games with Connecticut in 2011.
For Verlander, suiting up for the Tigers was a dream come true despite the fact he opted not to sign with the club three years ago when he was drafted in the 46th round of the 2010 Draft out of Goochland High School in Maidens, Va. He debuted on June 19 with Connecticut, going 1-for-3, after hitting .367 with 11 homers and 44 RBIs in college this past season.
"Super excited for him," Justin Verlander, the No. 2 overall pick in 2004, told MLB.com after his brother was drafted. So excited, he bought a Range Rover for his younger brother. "He's worked extremely hard. He earned this all on his own. I'm excited for him. I'm excited to see what he does to start his professional career."
Verlander, who signed on June 12, has actually suited up and taken some swings already in Detroit, although he did so prior to the Draft when Tigers hitting coach Lloyd McClendon helped him refine his swing.
"Just to be drafted is an honor," Verlander told FoxSports. "To be be drafted to the team that your big brother's on is even more cool."
After the game, Connecticut announced the team soon will be featuring another big name -- Kevin Ziomek, Detroit's second-round pick this season, is slated to join the club after going 11-3 at Vanderbilt this year. Connecticut already has the Tigers' No. 1 pick in 2013, right-hander Jonathon Crawford.

It is rare to get a do-over in professional sports, but the Baltimore Ravens believe they have earned just that opportunity in their AFC title showdown on Sunday against the Patriots in New England.
One year ago, the visiting Ravens squandered a golden chance to book a trip to the Super Bowl when a dropped pass in the end zone followed by a short field goal miss at the end of the AFC title game allowed the Patriots to claim a 23-20 victory.
Ravens linebacker and inspirational leader Ray Lewis, who is retiring at the end of the season, vowed after that game that Baltimore's championship aspirations were not finished.
"If you write it up, there's no better way to write it up," Lewis told reporters at a news conference on Wednesday. "We all felt the same way leaving there last year, that we had an opportunity to win that game.
"And what better way, than to go back at New England again. Going back to last year, we made up our mind that that wasn't it for us. For us to be back here again, same position, same situation, who would ever have thought of it but us."
The Ravens, beset by injuries this season including a torn triceps that sidelined Lewis for the last 10 regular season games, advanced to the title game with a 38-35 double-overtime victory over the top-seeded Denver Broncos.
New England beat the Houston Texans, 41-28, in their divisional playoff game to set up a rematch with the Ravens.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he appreciated the mental and physical toughness of the Ravens.
"We know it will be a big challenge this week," he told reporters. "We've had some great games against them, recently. Four of the last five games have come literally down to the final play and in one case, overtime.
"They've shown they can handle difficult situations, whether it's playing on the road or in the double overtime game last week against Denver. Whatever the challenges are, they stand up to them."
Kicker Bill Cundiff, who missed a 32-yard field goal in the final seconds in last year's clash, and receiver Lee Evans, who failed to hold a potential game-winning touchdown pass two plays earlier, are gone from the Ravens but the holdovers will be burning for revenge on Sunday.
"You're probably influenced and motivated by everything in life," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. "Having it be such a great football game, an epic kind of game, and then losing it (that way) was tough.
"We have all the respect in the world for the Patriots. We've played them a lot. They are always tough battles."
This season the Ravens eked out a 31-30 victory over the Patriots in Foxborough in Week 3 of the regular season.
While the Patriots are aiming to reach their sixth Super Bowl in 12 seasons, the Ravens, competing in the postseason for the fifth time in as many years, are striving to return to the NFL title game for the first time since they won it in 2001.
"It always seems to go down to that last play, that last drive," Lewis said about the classic battles the Ravens have had against the Pats and quarterback Tom Brady, who leads the top-scoring offense in the National Football League.
"I think they know what we are bringing and we know what they bring. We have to deal with arguably the best offense in football, probably the best quarterback, give or take, coming from Peyton (Manning) last week to Brady this week.
"You're talking about the top. If you're going to win a ring, then why not go through the top."

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
One minute, you're lying on the beach. The next minute, you're staring down a barracuda. And you aren't even breathing hard. Red Reef Park is the couch potato's answer to underwater adventure. It's definitely more exciting than another rerun of Jacques Cousteau but hardly more taxing. The artificial reef that attracts everything from barracuda to clown fish to triggerfish to puffers is only ten to twelve yards from shore in about ten feet of water. Located at the southern end of the park, the rocks were originally hoisted into place to protect swimmers. The new additions soon attracted fish and other sea life, and -- voilà! -- a not-to-miss South Florida destination was born. The spot isn't hard to find. Just look for the bodies lying on top of the water, snorkels pointed skyward. Grab your own snorkel and fins and join them. Short of buying an aquarium, it's the easiest way to see tropical fish up-close and personal. And you don't have to clean the water, change the filter, or feed them. Just kick and enjoy.
Everybody knew the Dolphins' offensive line wasn't very good last year, even with a healthy Mark Dixon. While the team's inability to run the ball was often demoralizing, at least the Fins were a team that could stop the run, right? Umm, no. On December 16, 2001, the San Francisco 49ers exposed the Dolphins' vulnerability to a strong running game with several punishing, clock-eating drives en route to a 21-0 victory. This cemented our selection of Gardener as the one player Miami could not do without. Largely because the big defensive tackle was out with a back injury, the Niners' interior linemen were able to get off the line to put a helmet on Zach Thomas, nullifying his speed and playmaking. This year, the coaches are talking about moving Gardener to defensive end to save his back from the beating he takes playing inside. Not sure we agree: While he's a good enough player to make an impact outside, his true gift is as a run-stuffer. If he's healthy, that's where he belongs. If team brass leaves him there, Thomas will be grateful. So will we.
If the Marlins' ownership had been stable this past winter, Cliffy would already be gone. Of course, had that been the case, he might have had an even better year in 2001. His post-All-Star slump seemed to correlate directly to the failure of the stadium drive and the uncertainty about the team's South Florida future. As it was, Floyd still ended up with excellent numbers, offering a consistent, mostly healthy (hooray!) presence in the three-hole, steady, sometimes spectacular defense. And he was the closest thing these pups had to veteran leadership. This year, by the time the trading deadline rolls around, he'll be ripping screaming liners into the right-centerfield gap for a playoff contender -- here, if the young pitching progresses, Luis Castillo and Charles Johnson rebound, and Alex Gonzalez gets his shit together, but more likely somewhere else.
Our favorite feature of this strip of sand in Deerfield Beach is the absence of cars zipping by on A1A ten yards from your beach blanket. In 1967, the Army Corps of Engineers set up boulder piles on the sand every 30 feet or so to prevent erosion. You can sit on the rocks and enjoy the water, lie on the sand, or dive into the ocean. The sand is broader than most of the Fort Lauderdale beaches, and there are vegetation breaks that separate your shot at tranquility from the busy and polluted street. Part of the strip has condos and guesthouses, but they're small and set back from the shore. The sand is dotted with the occasional tiki hut, and a concrete walking path lines the northern end. The nicest, quietest part of the beach is the southern border, which the lifeguards call south beach, not to be confused with South Beach, which is filled with people, restaurants, and dance clubs instead of sea shells and breaking waves. Metered parking is eight bits an hour.
Hidden behind sand dunes and patches of natural Florida vegetation, this place can easily be missed. After you find a parking spot, which admittedly can be close to a mission impossible during the winter season, lug your sun umbrella, towels, and folding chairs through one of the thick and canopied beach entrances. There, you will understand why Delray is among the nation's favorite beach resort towns. The nearly mile-long, pristine, and wide beach is unusually clean and welcoming, without rocks, piers, or fishermen. Food and nonalcoholic drinks are allowed, but don't feed the sea gulls no matter how cute they seem; they'll turn into pests. There is a recreation area in the beach's southern part where teenagers sometimes pass the football and kite enthusiasts fly their creations in the shapes of birds, scuba divers, and sharks. The beach also offers chair rentals, five volleyball courts, showers and bathrooms, a water sports rental shack, and several exotic diving attractions (be mindful of the resident ray at the 19th-century wreck just offshore). And when the sun hits the water just right here and the ocean turns breathtakingly turquoise, you will remember why you live in South Florida.
"Swim Nude to Prevent Sea Lice Infection." Such was the recent headline in a U.S. Public Health Service professional journal. Skinny-dipping is not naughty; it's healthy, experts say, referring to the rash that generally appears on bodies covered in swimsuits. You see, the microscopic jellyfish get trapped beneath the material and release a skin-irritating venom. If that doesn't scare the pants off you, then forget this advice: Peel off your duds behind the Marriott hotel on A1A, scurry across a private beach (though we have had no trouble running around nude for nearly an hour around midnight on several occasions), and give the moon to the night sky.

Every day that we are given the chance to wake up from our slumber and put our feet on the floor is another opportunity to start with a clean slate and start life anew.
Unfortunately most of us tend to carry the burdens and travails of yesterday into our todays and that clouds our tomorrows.
As 2008 sits on the horizon, it also marks the chance for new beginnings, new attitudes.
What will you do with it?
The first thing I challenge each of you to do is look back at 2007 and reflect on what was right with your life.

That is going to be a mistake. My laptop only has a DVD reader, but my model can also be easily upgraded to a Blu Ray reader
That is going to be a mistake. My laptop only has a DVD reader, but my model can also be easily upgraded to a Blu Ray reader
No big deal. Everything is online these days, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, iTunes Store, etc. It's easy enough to watch HD online or convert a BD to a small format and put it on your laptop/computer. The last time I used my optical drive was to burn a CD, and I only did that because my iPhone couldn't hold all of my music.
Just messin with ya!
Seriously though, do you regularly use the dvd reader? I personally haven't used mine in a long time. I was thinking about replacing my superdrive in my MacBook Pro with another hard or flash drive.
Although i SORTA agree, I'll have to say watching movies on iTunes is no where NEAR the quality of watching via Blu-Ray for one thing the Audio Quality is WAY better on a Blu-Ray then on iTunes and Sure you can stream and All but what happens when your net goes down or you go to a friends house whom doesn't like Apple. I just think Apple doesn't want to spend the $ for an upgrade like this & not to mention it would make their products just THAT much more expensive.
Ok, Apple pretty much told the world "you don't need floppy drives" several years ago and look... we progressed. I for one don't like Sony and the way they poured trillions to win the format war. They are always making standardizations difficult by adding their own format to the mix. This is in the interest of the companies, not the consumer. Apple has their own yada-yada, too. But anything that will make the Blu-ray system obsolete and create a loss for Sony's gamble is a good thing IMO. Don't monopolize...adapt. /rant
I think the main reason they do it is to be able to have the thinnest laptops. The second reason is that streaming is one of their main revenues.

The big thing that saddens me about a lack of optical drive is that I have to either settle for a lower quality song downloaded through any of the legal sites or be forced to buy an external drive to continue ripping CDs in a lossless format.
Anyone really surprised with this? Apple never do anything thats the normal. They always do things the hard way or the not normal way so just the plain stupid WTF way but never the normal way.
Movies have moved from DVD to BluRay and Apple are removing DVD drives from their computers....wtf? They should be putting BluRay drives IN, NOT taking DVD drives out and replacing them with nothing. How are you supposed to copy music from Audio DVDs to iTunes now? I'm guessing they want you to buy a 2nd copy instead of using the one you already have. And movies, instead of making a iTunes backup you now have to buy the same movie again in iTunes.
Just another FU to the consumer from Apple.
optical drives are still good for installing games on your system. even though mac's are not known to be gaming rigs, i would much rather take 10 minutes to install a 5 gig game then 3 hours to download it from the server.

SAN BERNARDINO - Complaints of noise and rampant drug activity at the Nocturnal Wonderland electronic dance shows at the National Orange Show Events Center have prompted city officials to consider legal action.
"We believe that there are too many adverse effects in the community from the rave events, and these concerns are not new to the promoter and the National Orange Show," Police Chief Robert Handy said.
While at first embracing the shows because of the economic benefits they brought to the cash-strapped city, officials now believe the public-safety and nuisance issues they bring far outweigh those benefits.
In September, several police officers got into a physical altercation with several patrons at the annual event when officers attempted to arrest someone selling ecstasy, known as the "rave drug," to an undercover officer, Handy said.
And during the Escape from Wonderland show in October, promoter Pasquale Rotella refused to lower the music volume when police told him of noise complaints coming from as far away as Grand Terrace, Colton and Loma Linda, the chief said.
"The promoter was receiving a lot of negative feedback that the music wasn't loud enough, and they felt they were going to lose money, so they refused to turn the music down," Handy said. "They basically told us `you do what you want to do but we're going to do what we have to do to turn a profit."'
Grand Terrace Councilman Bernardo Sandoval was one of several officials at a town hall meeting at the Lytle Creek Community Center in San Bernardino on Dec. 18 to address the complaints and concerns surrounding the shows.
He said homes near Blue Mountain in Grand Terrace were hardest hit by the vibrations emanating from the show.
"Windows were actually rattling inside houses when the raves took place," Sandoval said. "They completely ignored the concerns of the residents of Reche Canyon (in Colton), Grand Terrace and Loma Linda."
Neither Rotella nor representatives of his company, Insomniac Events, returned telephone calls and emails seeking comment.
It remains unclear if Live Nation Entertainment's getting approval from the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday to hold electronic dance show events at the San Manuel Amphitheater in Devore is related to the problems in San Bernardino involving Rotella and his ever-popular soirees.
Bret Gallagher, vice president of Live Nation's Southern California and Las Vegas divisions, didn't return repeated emails and telephone calls seeking comment.
City Attorney James F. Penman said the city is considering filing narcotics- and nuisance-abatement actions against the Orange Show Events Center and Rotella in an effort to stop the shows.
He said the city used nuisance- and narcotic-abatement actions in 2011 to shutter the Hudson Theater, where drug sales and violations of the city's curfew occurred regularly.
"This office is prepared to use the abatement actions against National Orange Show if it comes to that. We hope that that will not be necessary," Penman said.
The news came as a surprise to Orange Show Events Center General Manager Dan Jimenez, who was under the impression things were fine.
"No one has contacted me and made any comments about coming after us aggressively," Jimenez said. "We're the only entity (in the city) that's making a positive economic impact."
According to an economic impact analysis prepared by Los Angeles-based Beacon Economics LLC for Insomniac Events, the two-day Nocturnal Wonderland event in 2011 generated roughly $11.9million in economic output countywide. Of that amount, $11.7million was in direct spending, and the event generated roughly $840,000 in state and local tax revenues in the county.
"It's incredible what happens the weekends that they're here," Jimenez said.
The potential loss of the tens of thousands of rave fans got an instant reaction from Tim Jenkins, general manager of the Hilton in San Bernardino.
"Don't do it," he said. "That would be a huge hit."
The city's hotels build their business plans around certain big events, raising rates well in advance, he said, and other than the Little League Western Regional playoffs, no event brings more money to hotels than the raves.
Guests aren't any more problematic than at other times during the year, he said, but they spend more.
"We get a lot of people that travel a long way with their daddies' BMWs and their daddies' credit cards, and they spend that money," he said.
Mayor Pat Morris isn't opposed to raves, but immediate economic benefits need to be balanced against residents' concerns, said Jim Morris, the mayor's son and chief of staff.
"Our first and foremost obligation is to ensure we don't have nuisances that arise from excessive noise levels," he said. "There have been raves in the past that followed those guidelines, then it seemed to backslide a bit."
The city plans to work with rave producers to mitigate issues as much as possible.
"The door is always open for discussion, but whether we're able to obtain that kind of compliance based upon discussions and mutual agreements about how they operate is an ongoing discussion," Morris said.
It's not just noise that concerns people like Marcus Gaede, though.
"People use all kinds of drugs, not just ecstasy, and there's a huge safety issue," said Gaede, who witnessed a drug-related death in 2007 and describes himself as an anti-drug activist.
Raves are often a hotbed of drugs and drug-related deaths, he said.
"There's a lot that's hidden, that people don't know about what goes on," Gaede said.
Handy said he will meet with Jimenez on Thursday.
In March, Rotella and several others were indicted in a scandal at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum involving allegations of bribery, embezzlement and conspiracy. Rotella and the other five defendants are accused of stealing millions from the stadium.
Rotella has pleaded not guilty to the charges. His attorney, Gary Jay Kaufman, did not respond to an email seeking comment.
Jimenez said his experiences with Rotella have been nothing but positive.
"Our experience with Mr. Rotella has always been on a professional level. He has never ever given us any indication he has done anything wrong," Jimenez said. "He's been an incredible contributor to the city for a lot of nonprofits, and he's been trying his best to be a good neighbor."

WATCH: Pastors dress in hoodies at the pulpit to protest Zimmerman verdict
(Billy Hallowell) Reactions to the George Zimmerman verdict have been swift — and with the ruling coming down over the weekend, it's no big surprise that some religious leaders chose to take the issue up during their Sunday sermons. From encouraging congregants to "raise Cain" to numerous pastor delivering their sermons while dressed in hoodies, the responses have been intriguing.
Take, for instance, the Rev. Aaron Williams of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Seattle Washington. He told congregants not to allow the situation surrounding the verdict to simply simmer. Instead, the pastor encouraged the audience to highlight the alleged "injustice" in the national's criminal justice system, KING-TV reports.
Williams also told parishioners to "raise Cain," which generally means to become boisterous or to "cause a disturbance."
"We should be raising Cain because, if we don't, history has a way of repeating itself," the preacher told his congregation, also urging them to invoke peace and calm as they make their voices heard on the matter.
And according to WLWT-TV, the Bishop Dr. Victor Couzens of Inspirational Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, also made his voice heard on the matter. He took to the pulpit dressed in a hoodie.
Like Williams, Couzens called the Zimmerman verdict an injustice and encouraged his congregation to work diligently to prevent something like Trayvon Martin's death from happening again.
"You see people of all walks of life wearing hoodies so this is a sign of solidarity, we're standing with the Martin family, we're standing with the community," Couzens told parishioners. "We will not be violent, we will not be silent neither. At the end of the day we are Christians and we are compelled to love, we are called to love but we are also called to action as well."
Couzens wasn't alone in his hoodie-wearing. Other churches joined in for what was dubbed "Hoodie Sunday" in an effort to bring attention to and discuss the issues surrounding the Zimmerman verdict.
The Rev. Tony Lee of the Community of Hope A.M.E. Church in Temple Hills, Maryland, was yet another pastor who preached about the case while wearing a hooded sweatshirt, WTTG-TV reports.
"I don't want this kind of stuff to happen to another one of our children," Lee proclaimed. "We have to hold the nation accountable but we also have to hold accountable the people who are shaping culture and shaping the atmosphere in which a young man could be dehumanized."

Victoria Can Tho Resort – 15 Years of Heartfelt Service!
On the evening of 15th October 2013, Victoria Can Tho Resort has delightfully celebrated its 15th anniversary of establishment (15/10/1998 – 15/10/2013). This property was the first 4 star hotel offering international standards in Can Tho.
Over 15 years of operation, Victoria Can Tho still remained as the most luxurious resort favored by both local and international visitors.
A formal speech was delivered by Mr. Tran Trong Kien, Chairman & CEO of TMG Group, expressing gratefulness to the support and contribution of more than 100 guests who participated in the ceremony including clients, partners, local authority, the media and staff. With a theme "Mekong Riverlife", Victoria Can Tho Resort has turned the venue into a real image of Mekong Delta with fruit boats, green decoration, Vietnamese outfits and a special program featuring Southern traditional performance such as martial art performance, fan dancing and "Don ca tai tu" – famous folk music performance by the locals.
Another highlight during the ceremony was the handover of a brand new Mercedes Benz E250 to Victoria Can Tho Resort. This luxury white sedan owns the top technologies of Mercedes-Benz ensuring even the smallest needs of passengers are met subtly and immediately. The receipt was a remarkable event of Victoria Can Tho Resort, which added another luxurious transfer option to the hotel's services, in line with an aim to always provide premium experiences in a most comfortable way for our distinguished guests.

Lambert and Goodhue found him as he crowded with the rest through the little door.
Goodhue acknowledged that his opinions had changed since that.
Mr. Goodhue said, he felt for the honor of the House, when spending their time on such sort of business.
Goodhue gave the impression of not having met Rogers to any extent.
Mr. Goodhue wished to move that the committee rise; to which Mr. Giles agreed.
"I didn't know you were a friend of Betty Alston's," Goodhue said.
He had seen him accompany Goodhue through the crowd the day of the first examination.
Goodhue, on the other hand, after a moment's hesitation, followed George out.
"Thank ye, Mr. Goodhue," says he, 'nd he choked all up as he moved off with that yaller little baby in his arms.
When he had entered in response to Goodhue's call his doubt increased.

Post subject: Revis to Seattle?
Many sites have noted the Seahawks as a serious option for a landing spot for Darrelle Revis. Thoughts?
Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks love physical cornerbacks who can play man coverage tight to the line of scrimmage. They weren't afraid to be bold in past moves. They are in the NFC, which should be an advantage. And Jets GM John Idzik has a close relationship with the Seahawks front office. Despite a strong pair of starting cornerbacks, this could be the most logical fit.
What's the asking price? The Jets reportedly are seeking an exorbitant package including first- and second-round picks. While that's shooting for the moon on a player coming off anterior cruciate ligament surgery and entering the final year of his contract, there is no shortage of potential trade partners. The New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, Seattle
and Green Bay Packers are said to be among the teams "highly interested" in Revis.
Darrelle Revis is reportedly on the Jets' trade block, and with former Seahawks' VP of Football Administration John Idzik now the man in charge of hearing any offers in New York, it's pretty obvious that Seattle's name would come up as an interested party. According to Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com, the Seahawks are one of several teams that are 'highly interested' in Revis' services, though at this point in time it's way to early to early to read too much into that reported interest other than Seattle likes to stir the pot.
Seems like a really good scheme fit to me, but doesn't make very much sense. BB and Sherman are playing at a high level for peanuts, so I dont see why they would trade valuable picks for a guy set to make $6 million next year. However, Revis would be an ideal fit in this scheme, considering his agressive nature. He would make the best secondary in the league even better.
Thoughts? Would you want him? How much would you trade for him?

If we trade for Revis, I think Browner has to be part of the deal. Gives the Jets a starting CB on the cheap and allows us to send less picks the way of the Jets. Browner will have to get paid eventually as well.

I think getting him would be a slap in the face to browner or even Sherman as well. Potentially could take Browners starting gig and then take Sherms rising spotlight. But then again Pete always preaches compete so bringing in the second best corner in the NFL would be pretty cool. He's wanting $16M a year on his new deal though. I don't know if we could afford that with all the young guys we need to re up soon. Wouldn't mind it though. Def would be the Miami heat of NFL

I could definitely see a deal with Brandon Browner, if this were to happen.
You have to wonder how much of the (reported) desire for Revis comes from the fact that the new Jets GM is a former Hawk FO man. Also John Schneider is interested in any competent player that moves...

They would probably want the 1st rounder.
If we could somehow get Revis without giving up a 1st rounder or a stud youngster, I would be livid.

This has absolutely no chance of happening.
Revis is a guy that will hold out if offered a 10mil/yr offer. Seahawks have too many elite guys on the secondary, guys that were there from the beginning that need to be paid. Do you really want to cause a rift in such a strong unit? Right now they are all getting peanuts.
CB is already a strength and value for the team and it will be hard enough figuring out how to pay them all even before adding Revis to the mix. Not to mention this money could be better spent shoring up a weakness by picking up a guy like Paul Kruger.

No thanks. I wouldn't even consider it for so many reasons.
1) Three (almost) holdouts before his rookie deal even expired. He held out as a rookie, in 2010 and then almost in 2012. He would have held out this year if his contract allowed him to. The only reason he didn't is because if he had held out, it would have forced him to stay in New York for three more years. The Jets were smart enough to anticipate his greed - are we stupid enough to ignore it? It's pretty clear to me that all this guy cares about his money and being the highest paid player in the league. Not the highest paid CB - the highest paid player. I don't feel like dealing with the drama of a guy who's going to hold out every 2 years to get another 10 million tacked on to his contract. Three holdouts in the span of one contract is unbelievable.
2) The asking price is going to be outrageous. Rumours are the starting price is multiple early picks - it's going to be a RGIII type deal. Obviously you're getting the best CB in the league but you're also getting him coming off a serious injury and is it worth jeopardizing that much when we've done so well building through the draft? Giving away that much when CB is a strength of this team does't help us address the pass rush or offense. History tells us that teams that sacrifice draft picks like this rarely end up the winners. Who ended up winning the Herschel Walker trade?
3) I doubht the Jets get the value they want in a trade and so Revis will play out the last year on his contract and then hit FA which will be a gong-show. This is all just a pipe dream. Revis will likely be a Jet in 2013. The only team I can see throwing some draft picks at the Jets are the Broncos who are in serious win-now mode with Manning.
Revis is amazing. There's no denying his talent and his impact on the field. He's the best CB I've ever seen play. I'm just not a fan of investing that much in one player. He would make our secondary the best in the league by a huge margin but I worry it will have an adverse afffect on the team as a whole. It will cost a serious percentage of the salary cap which limits our ability to re-sign guys we like and address needs in free agency elsewhere. It will cost us multiple draft picks - I would wager at least 3 picks in Rounds 1 & 2 which hinders our ability to build this team as a long-term contender. We got a good thing going - just need to tweak the pass rush and get some more talent on the offensive side of the ball. I'd love to havea guy with Revis talent if I was playing Madden but in real life it's not worth the risk and all the baggage he brings.

I'm not sure how keen I am on the idea, but if so I'd want to see Browner and maybe even Flynn a part of the transaction.

Why would we want Revis? Expensive and always wanting a new contract, and coming off an acl tear, and we have to pay whatever the trade would be. Browner is already quite good, no trade, much cheaper, and more likely to stick in Seattle at the end of his contract. Plus no injuries. I wouldn't even pick Revis up in FA at this point. 15 mil or whatever it is a year for someone coming off an acl tear? No thanks. This hawks team has other priorities.

If we were able to sign henry melton in free agency I'd be all for making a trade for Revis, IF he would be willing to sign long term with Seattle. I'm assuming if a trade were to happen it'd look like Browner, Flynn and the #25 pick to the jets. A secondary of Revis, Sherman, Earl and Kam could be one of the best in the last 20+ years.

I don't want to do the deal if it includes our 1st. I would LOVE to get Revis but we would be upgrading our biggest strength. We need to focus on our weaknesses. As much as Id love to have him not at the cost of addressing our needs.

Logical, and most would agree. However there is logic out there (Marcus Buckingham- discover your strengths) things focusing on making your strengths, stronger is what leads to dominance.

Post subject: Caching with other Geocachers
I'm new to this sport. When I start a search I print out the hints and the last logs of the cache. I'm elated when I find one and can log it. I have seen where cachers with more than 400 finds are going out together and finding / logging caches. (I must be wrong, but if I could put 3,4 or 5 geocachers at a site, it would increase the chances of a find 100 fold)
What are the opinions on this. I don't want to open a can of worms on this. (or do I) Just fair for all. Again a newbie.

I would tend to agree that it does increase our chances of a find.....but.....
1) We have created a friendship with others....
2) Many times one person finds it ....walks away and laughs that he/she knows where it is.....and won't help.
3) Its always not about the numbers of finding a cache....its just fun.
4) Just another reason to get outta the house.
5) Sometimes you need the help.
6) Carpooling for gas reasons..
7) Can get a little boring to go out by yourself all the time.

Personally, I prefer to cache alone or with my kids, and just meet up with cachers later. But it is fun to cache with others from time to time. It sure does increase the chances of a find, but for me the primary purpose is the walk and to get out of the house.
When it comes to stats, I think it only really affects the "finds in one day" stat, which should be divided by the nuber of cachers in the party.

I guess I don't care about numbers... I tried that whole thing for a while (going out for 30+ finds in a day and cleaning out areas). You get burned out *fast* and you eliminate the caches you can do in an area.
I used to cache alone and found it to be a nice thing to get out and enjoy having time to myself. After caching with others I find it to be much more fun. The days go by much faster and I have less frustration.
Generally when we are in large groups (WeekNIGHT caching) people will spot the cache, mill around as if they are continuing to look for the cache, and then they will stand off to the side (as Kitch said). If I am just out with one other person I usually will say I found it right away but still have the other person at least look some more for it (even if I give them some hints).
Personally I cannot cache unless someone else is tagging along. I just find it boring otherwise. Humans are social creatures afterall

Personally I can go either way, but here's my reasonings.
Caching alone:
I find it's a great time to get exercize, and a bit of a personal sense of accomplishment (ie you're caching in a group, and someone else finds the cache), not to mention getting some time to myself, getting outside and some fresh air, especially great after a rough day.
Caching in a group:
Drastically reduces the DNFs, as there are more eyes looking. You get a bit of socializing in, always helpful there. Also, if you hit up a questionable area (be it a bad part of town, dangerous terrain, etc), you got backup in case something goes wrong.

I was thankful for being in a large group when we ran into a squatter at night. It might not have been as easy to deal with as a single person.

I guess it all into the reason your geocaching. I do it by myself as a challenge. When by myself I tend to push myself just to see how far I can go in a single day. Yet on the other hand there are plenty of caches out ther I won't do alone for one reason or another. Usually because I deam them to be to dangerous to attempt alone or are to far out into the backwoods as to make it less enjoyable to be alone.
I like family caching as a way to get out and spend time with the wife and kids. Usually, picking caches that are in local parks with playgrounds and stuff so after a walk in the woods the kids can play and the wife and I can sit, watch and just talk.
Group caching is great for friendship, socialization, and just play having someone who understands the drive to find some small ass cache. And there are always the good laughs as one finds it and laughs as the others are still struggling. Minnesota Madness is a prime example. There were 10 of us out there looking for a micro. After a few had found it, it was quite funny watching others stare right at it and not see it. And then group caching is usually followed by some good food and drink and more fun and games.
Airborne All the Way!
