Introducing Missouri
Missouri likes to mix things up; serving visitors ample portions of both sophisticated city life and splendid country sights. Home of the Great Plains' two largest cities (St Louis and Kansas City) this is the region's most densely populated state. But, with more forest and less farm field than the others, it also cradles plenty of wild places and wide-open spaces, most notably the rolling Ozark Mountains where the winding valleys invite adventurous exploring or just some laid-back meandering behind the steering wheel. And, if you happen to tire of culture and nature and suddenly develop the urge to see Yakov Smirnoff and eat a funnel cake, then Branson awaits.

Super Silver |
Why Is Dr. LaMar's Super Silver the Best In the World? Quantum Physics Scientists have measured the energy that was once our planet and the energy that is now called our planet and there is a vast difference. All of us know this but think there is nothing we can do about it. All it takes is balance ~ so supplementation in our life today is a must!
They say "Between creation time up till Noah's Day, the world was full of energy, but after Noah's Day things have degraded by man's pollution.
That's why we named our product Dr. LaMar's Super Silver. It is an all natural, completely organic dietary supplement chelated from ancient plant matter, and angstrom in size. Angstrom is a measurement in light waves, they are not colloidal. Dr. LaMar's Super Silver is 100% plant derived and are a million times smaller than colloidal minerals. They can penetrate to the DNA. Our plant derived, pH balanced, bio-energetic liquid silver is the most totally digestible source of silver in the world. Expect immediate response and maximum results every time.
Add To Cart Click To See Dietary Information Do You Have Problems With Your Health? Some results of harmful bacteria are:
Antibiotics have become ineffective against many strains of bacteria. Because of the over use of antibiotics, we have created super resistant classes of bacteria that resist most prescription antibiotics. In major universities, Dr. LaMar's Super Silver was tested. Scientists proved that Dr. LaMar's Super Silver killed every strain of bacteria that it was tested against ~ over 29 different strains ~ all common ones we are exposed to. Dr. LaMar's Super Silver performed equal to or greater than the major classes of prescription antibiotics. Colloidal or Angstrom What is the difference? Most commercially available silver is colloidal in size and inorganic which makes it almost impossible for the body to absorb ~ only 10% is digested. By being hard to digest, it becomes ineffective against harmful and resistant bacteria. It also degrades very quickly after manufacturing or it binds to any negatively charged molecule in the body which limits the beneficial effects. Dr. LaMar's Super Silver combines organic silver which disrupts every known pathogen's ability to produce energy. By being 96.8% bio-available to the body it is 200 to 300 times more effective than most commercially available colloidal silver. Ancient organic humus beds were full of living plant matter containing lots of silver. The silver is extracted by an unique, patented manufacturing process. The patented process separates Dr. LaMar's Super Silver from every other silver product on the market and gives it the ability to kill harmful bacteria.

Preservation Trust adds 140 acres to Turtleback Preserve
October 18, 2012 · 4:40 PM
The San Juan Preservation Trust has acquired a property on Orcas Island that will add more than 140 acres to the Turtleback Mountain Preserve and permanently protect the entire ridgeline of the mountain.
The iconic turtle-shaped profile of Turtleback Mountain is recognizable from throughout the San Juan archipelago. It was widely presumed to have been completely preserved in 2006 when – thanks to an outpouring of public support – 1,578 acres of the mountain were saved from development.
The 30-acre "head" of the turtle, which was donated to the San Juan Preservation Trust in 1990, is separated from Turtleback Mountain Preserve by a privately held 111-acre property. The owners had begun to prepare this larger property for residential development when they learned of the preservation trust's interest. After many months of negotiation, the parties agreed upon a purchase price of $1 million.
The preservation trust identified $600,000 towards the purchase price, including $500,000 from its own investment funds and $100,000 from four lead donors. After a summer fundraising feasibility effort yielded additional gifts and pledges from several other generous individuals, the trust's board of trustees unanimously agreed to proceed with the project. With $990,000 now committed, the tust continues to fundraise to meet its total project goal of $1.15 million. The $160,000 outstanding balance includes funds needed for the purchase as well as trail building expenses and a small stewardship endowment to care for the property.
With this acquisition, the Turtleback Mountain Preserve will expand to include both the 111-acre purchased property and the 30-acre turtle's head, which has 360-degree views of surrounding islands. This addition ensures that the entire Turtleback Mountain ridgeline will remain undeveloped and creates a new day hike to a premier destination that has – until now – been inaccessible to the public.
The preservation trust plans to work with the San Juan County Land Bank to merge these three properties into one single preserve, with the same shared ownership arrangement. In the meantime, this partnership has already engaged the Washington Trails Association, and over the next several months these three groups will work together to design and build a public trail that will connect the Turtleback Mountain Preserve with the spectacular views provided from the summit of Turtlehead.

Snell claims national title after winning final race
4:38pm Thursday 23rd August 2012 in Sport By Matt Plummer
BRIGHTLINGSEA Sailing Club's Stuart Snell was crowned UK champion at the Sprint 15 National Championships.
Eighty-three sailors from around the country entered the competition, which was hosted by Brightlingsea.
The fleet was also the largest the championships had attracted for ten years and contained a number of sailors competing at national level for the first time.
Despite the hot weather and sometimes challenging conditions, the sailors enjoyed the tough but good-natured competition.

Children are using sticks to try to ward off the desert locusts. |
By Micael Johnstone
DAKAR/NEW YORK, 3 September 2004 – A 12-country emergency meeting in Dakar, Senegal has decided to use national armed forces to help combat the devastating spread of desert locusts in West Africa.
Ministers at the meeting have agreed to set up 'operations bases' for this effort, in Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Chad, Niger, Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Gambia. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says that additional funds of $60 million are still needed to combat the infestation, which is the most damaging and widespread one in this region in 15 years.
The situation is likely to deteriorate throughout September, as the swarms proliferate, particularly in Senegal, Mali, Mauritania and Niger. Governments in the region largely lack the necessary equipment to tackle the pests.
Farmers and soldiers are working together to spray crops with pesticide, but have so far only managed to spray three per cent of an estimated 2.3 million hectares at risk. Aerial spraying will be necessary over the next two weeks in order to stem the infestation, but there may be a lack of sufficient aircraft to carry out the work.
In desperation, some farmers are mobilizing children to bang empty tin cans, wave sticks and clap their hands in a futile attempt to scare off the insects. Traditional healers have suggested that people make sacrifices of curdled milk to drive away the swarms, while Senegalese radio station 'Sud-Fm' is offering listeners a 50 kg sack of rice if they can kill the equivalent weight in locusts.
An up-close look at locusts. |
On 31 August UNICEF undertook a joint visit to Gao in Mali with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to assess the situation, and to meet with Government and NGO representatives to discuss the response. Lacking equipment and pesticides with which to kill the hopper swarms, villagers and children resort to scooping up the locusts into plastic bags , or to digging trenches into which the nymphal bands fall and then get buried. WFP Representative Pablo Recalde estimates that up to a million tonnes of food production could be lost, and that over 2.9 million people could face food shortages in the country.
In certain affected West African countries, UNICEF is participating in weekly national committee meetings that have been set up to manage individual countries responses to the locust invasion, including the stockpiling of food and high energy biscuits for children. The organisation is also planning a joint nutritional risk evaluation with The World Health Organisation (WHO).
In The Gambia, a locust invasion is believed imminent; the government has declared a state of emergency. "Everyone is panicking, it's such a precarious situation," said UNICEF Programme Officer Guenet Francois. "This year has been a good year for rain, and now the locusts are coming. It's devastating for the people here – they're helpless. The whole of West Africa is very disturbed."

The Portal Bundle is such an incredibly good deal for just $6.24 we don't even know where to begin.

Mom-Tested Relief for Morning Sickness
Morning sickness. While that's all it is to many, some of us know better. It can last all day — even all pregnancy — and be really hard to manage. As we've seen quite publicly with Kate Middleton, it can even be a serious health risk. So please be sure you're monitoring yours closely and working with your doctor to do what's best for your personal circumstances. (In my case, I needed my doctor's help as well.)
But hopefully there are some helpful ideas in this round up that provided relief for my friends and me along the way.

A national survey in the U.S. found that 84 percent of American homeowners experienced a pest problem in the last 12 months, which could make this a good year for pest control professionals.
Is your house driving you buggy? If so, you're not alone. A national survey in the U.S. found that 84 percent of American homeowners experienced a pest problem in the last 12 months, which could make this a good year for pest control professionals. Slightly more than half of all homeowners think it's essential to use the services of a pest control company.
The top pest issues for homeowners in the last year were ants (49 percent), spiders (43 percent), flies (37 percent), mosquitoes (34 percent), mice (30 percent) and wasps (29 percent), according to a survey of more than 1,300 homeowners sponsored by Home Team Pest Defense, a residential pest control company.
"Pests have appeared earlier than usual this year due to warm winter, early spring and recent heavy rains," said Russ Horton, the company's national technical director. "We have already seen termite swarms in Texas, Georgia and Florida, odorous house ants in the Mid-Atlantic, and scorpions in Arizona."
The survey also found that 80 percent of homeowners are concerned about pests in their home. The top pests homeowners worry about are termites, cockroaches, rats, bedbugs and mice. Termites are the greatest pest concern, worrying one in four homeowners, and 13 percent actually experienced termites in the last 12 months. Pest problems have caused structural damage to their homes for nearly one quarter (22 percent) of homeowners. Eighty percent of homeowners are also concerned about being exposed to bed bugs when traveling, and 81 percent are not confident they know how to prevent bringing bedbugs into their home.
While many homeowners (54 percent) treated pest problems on their own, two-thirds of the do-it-yourselfers were unable to resolve their problem completely. Half of homeowners (51 percent) say using a pest control service is a necessity, and working with a company that guarantees its work was very important to almost everyone (95 percent). Treatments that will not harm children and pets were a high priority for 80 percent of homeowners.
An article in last week's Wall Street Journal reviews the pros and cons of calling in professionals to spray for mosquitoes.
The North Carolina Pest Management Association released a booklet designed to educate North Carolinians about preventing the spread of bed bugs.
The parent company of Terminix reported operating revenue of $608 million, a decline of 7.1 percent compared to the same period in 2012.
Fugler, EVP of the FPMA, discusses effort to secure funding to help the industry eradicate the invasive conehead termite.
The new branding, "For Life Uninterrupted," demonstrates Syngenta's commitment to the professional pest management industry, Syngenta said.

Including Code in Wordpress Posts
April 8th, 2007
I'm less than enamored with Wordpress' ability, or stark lack thereof, to include code in posts. I tried a bunch of the plugins suggested by this article, but nothing really worked correctly. I lost patience before coming up with an adequate solution. Hence the previous post's lack of the code example that was clearly merited. Bah.
I'm going to have to figure something out on this front. I am probably going to want a considerable percentage of my blog posts to be about code, which makes Wordpress' deficiencies in this area sorta problematic for me.
[Update: Turning off the rich text editor in my user profile and installing this code markup plugin seems to have solved my problem.]

Three summers ago, Sixers owner Ed Snider was enthralled with Hawks big man free agent Josh Smith. The team's chairman, however, let his basketball people make the call to sign Elton Brand to a free agent deal instead of getting into a potential sign-and-trade scenario with Atlanta.
At the time, Smith was a young, up-and-coming big man, while Brand was an established all-star coming off of an injury-plagued season. Philly was thrilled that their team had made a free agent splash to improve their front court.
Two years later, Sixers fans trashed the front office for the Brand signing. Now, Brand is playing well, dropping 18 points and collecting eight rebounds a night in the early going. If he can keep this production up, maybe the Sixers can move his contract to a contender later.
For now, though, the team could make a run at Smith, who is rumored to be on the block. Sure, the Hawks have denied that speculation this week, but what are they going to say?
Smith is averaging 14 and nine in the early going this season. Still, he is young and crazy athletic.
The Sixers, meanwhile, don't seem to be going anywhere and need to rebuild completely. This isn't a minor tweak here and there. Even Doug Collins has said, "There is a lot more work to be done here than I anticipated."
Translation: This team isn't close to contending for a legit playoff run.
The biggest problem is the fact that the Sixers have too many similar players. Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner are all tweeners. Turner is a scorer, but not a shooter. He can't start for Collins for that very reason. He's a better distributor, but the Sixers have a guy like that named Jrue Holiday.
Young can ball when given the chance. But, with Iggy and Brand around, he won't start. Iguodala, meanwhile has major value in the NBA. Teams love his defensive ability and he helped himself with his Team USA performance this summer.
Iguodala is still just 25 (26 in January). He has the best value in a trade, but maybe you can still build around him. That's a decision Rod Thorn, Ed Stefanski and Doug Collins are going to have to make between now and the trade deadline.
The bottom line is the Sixers need to move one or two of these tweeners for guys with legit NBA positions. And, maybe, Smith could be the guy you bring in to help rebuild the franchise.

The privately funded rail operator, NTV, has launched its service in Italy over the last couple weeks. The operator, part owned by Ferrari, will be the first private high speed service in Italy, and is an exciting development in the almost exclusively government funded rail industry in Europe.
Sachin Sawe has been here at SilverRail since the very beginning. He is one of the key members of the development team and is always looking for ways to improve the processes and the application. Sachin has made a great contribution so far, and I'm sure will continue to do so as our development of the SilverCore platform continues.
It is definitely a lot easier for me to write these when it is Aaron or Will or one of the other guys on the team being featured. It feels a little cheesey coming from me, but anyway...
The UK Trade and Investment Office in Boston is an organization that promotes business ties between businesses in New England and businesses in the UK. For SilverRail, with offices in Boston and London, we are right in their target group, and they helped us out when we were first setting up in the UK.
An article that our CEO and co-founder Aaron Gowell has written commenting on some of the impending changes in the European travel industry has been featured by Tnooz, the leading site for travel technology.
Aaron comments on the top ten things that he thinks will change the way travel distribution will work in the future.
From the article, a couple of examples:
As part of the announcement about our recent fundraising, our CEO and co-founder Aaron Gowell appeared on Quest Means Business on CNN talking about the opportunity that SilverRail is facing to help consolidate the rail carriers ticketing and reservation systems, particularly in Europe.
We are extremely excited to be announcing that we have closed our Series B funding round of $15m. The round was led by Canaan Partners, and John Balen will be joining our board going forward.
This funding round will enable us to accelerate the addition of rail carriers into the SilverCore platform, as well investing in the development of cross-border and multi-carrier journey planning.
We are very pleased to announce a new partner in the SilverRail stable. KDS, an international provider of travel and expense management solutions, has signed on with SilverRail to expand its, already substantial, coverage of rail markets around the globe. But is also looking to improve functionality with the SilverRail relationship in some markets where it already has its own connections.
Over the past 10 - 15 years, Russia has continued to be considered more and more a part of Europe. It is by no means there yet, but recent announcements that show that the Russian rail operator is taking a large order of trains that can run both on Russian infrastructure, but also through Europe, is another big step in that process.
There was an article recently that highlighted some of the new trains that Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (NTV), the new Italian train service branded as Italo were going to be using. The train line is part owned by Ferrari and you can certainly see a hint of the cars in the newly released trains, they look pretty cool.
I can't say that this is particularly related to what we do here at SilverRail, but one of the joys of working at SilverRail is that people send you all sorts of crazy stuff that relates to trains! And the video below is one of those things.

Local runner Googles a Red Rocks jackpot in Las Vegas
Steve Gamm certainly earned some good karma about three years ago, when he helped save a fellow runner who suffered sudden cardiac arrest on the track inside the Pettit National Ice Center.
He parlayed the fortune from his good deed into a running jackpot in Las Vegas earlier this year.
Here's his story:
I had a Saturday off in-between setting up trade shows in Las Vegas the weekend of March 5, and needed to run 14 miles based on my build up plan for a spring marathon.
Typically, I would just go figure out a route. Instead, I Googled "running events Las Vegas" on the chance something more interesting would pop up.
Sure enough, the Red Rock Canyon Marathon and Half Marathon was the next day just outside of Las Vegas; and registration was still open.
Given the difficult terrain, a fast time was certainly not in the cards, so I decided to buy a fanny pack to carry a camera, and enjoy what promised to be a memorable experience.
I took a cab to the packet pickup, where I was able to register in person and found that shuttle bus service the next morning - a motor coach no less - was offered from the Strip, for a reasonable fee.
It was interesting that part of registration included a waiver essentially saying you won't bother any desert tortoises you may encounter.
Race morning arrived quickly, and I hit the street at 5 a.m., headed to the designated pickup point.
The 30-minute ride went fast; the time spent talking to other runners.
Those on the bus who were familiar with the landscape told me that the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is very popular among runners, hikers, cyclists, and climbers.
Still, it's a small race: 176 marathoners this year and 613 half marathoners, all greeted by a spectacular sunrise.
Red Rocks start line at daybreak. Photo by Steve Gamm
The course is a 13.1 mile loop that climbs up the right side of a mountain and down the left side. The half marathoners did that once and the full marathoners turned around and ran back.
The first 9 miles climbs from approximately 2,000 feet to a lookout point at 4,771 feet. The scenery and the climb are equally breathtaking.
I understand there's only 300 meters of flat running over the course, the rest is either up or down.
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this "bucket list" type of event, some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen, great organization, fun runners, great shirt and finisher medals, and enthusiastic volunteers. And there were virtually no spectators . . . other than the desert tortoises.
What a lucky find.

Gamm, 59, has run 21 marathons over the past 10 years and was a Lakefront Marathon pace group leader in 2010. He also is the race director for the Badgerland Striders Turkey Trot prediction run. Gamm plans to run the Wisconsin Marathon in Kenosha on May 7.

LG Electronics kicked off CEDIA Expo 2009 by adding Vudu to its BD390 Blu-ray player.
Vudu isn't new to LG. The on-demand movie rental service was recently added to LG's Broadband TVs, a line that also includes Netflix, Yahoo Widget and YouTube streaming.
So between the BD390, the Broadband TV line and a demo of the Vudu interface, LG's booth had Vudu pretty well covered.
LG also showed several LED TVs, including the SL90 line that is slated to ship in October, featuring 42- and 47-inch models with Edge LED lighting and depth of only 1.15 inches.
OLED TVs were one thing missing from LG's booth. It was recently reported that LG plans to launch a 15-inch OLED in Korea and that a 40-inch model is planned for the "not too distant future."
LG didn't hint that a 40-inch OLED would be on display at CEDIA Expo 2009 … we were just hoping.

text: We've reached that inevitable point in the middle of the summer months that dooms all bloggers. That is, the stretch of time where there is just nothing to write about. No movie or sports news—we are still waiting for a little bit of both. Because of that, I thought it was about time to finally set pen to paper on an idea I have had for a new television show, one that would combine history with the single item we can all find common ground on: food! There are an endless amount of documentaries on all time periods in history (though that number has been shrinking in recent years due to a mass-encroachment from mindless "reality"-based shows), but how many of them ever take the time to go into detail on the food consumed in whatever particular time period they are focusing on? The only one that comes to mind is one of my favorites, The Naked Archaeologist, hosted by Simcha Jacobovici, which I love for its simplistic, down-to-earth approach to archaeology, making it fun, interesting, and easy to learn for everyone. The reason why the show is titled as such is because he peels back the layers, so to speak, making the archaeology "naked". Many times his shows will include little tidbits on food and lifestyles, which I always found fascinating. I think it is a topic that could do very well as a show of its own, because if there is one thing that can humanize a group of people who have been dead for hundreds or thousands of years, it would be details about, and demonstrations of how to cook the food they ate.

Free agent running back Brandon Whitaker told the Montreal Alouettes he is going to wait to be cleared medically in May before working out for NFL teams in hopes of landing a job south of the border.
Whitaker suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament last September and missed the rest of the season.
With Chad Kackert deciding to re-sign with the Toronto Argonauts, Whitaker is the most sought-after running back available in the free agent pool, if healthy.
The Baylor product has spent four seasons with the Alouettes, rushing for 2,274 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has also amassed 1,288 yards receiving with 12 touchdowns.
His best season came in 2011 when he rushed for almost 1,400 yards.

Four stop signs at unused railroad crossings in Fulton may soon be eliminated.
Although rail service between Mexico and Fulton has not operated in several years, the pesky stop signs in Fulton remain.
The Fulton Traffic Commission has recommended that all four signs be eliminated. They are located along St. Eunice Road, Industrial Drive, Ewing Avenue, and Westminster Avenue.
Another stop sign is located on Campus Drive leading into the east entrance of William Woods University but the city does not own that stop sign and has no control over it.
Fulton City Engineer Greg Hayes said he researched the situation on the stop signs along the currently unused railroad and learned that these four signs are the only ones in the entire state located at railroad tracks.
whocares 5 months ago
Considering the tracks are paved over, yeah, that might be a great idea. And people had to stop and think about this???

The Jordan Valley Marriott is a nice place to stay on the shores of the Dead Sea. It is a bit less luxurious and snazzy than the Kempinski, but is nevertheless a pleasant hotel to make the most of the Dead Sea's beneficial properties.
This hotel review is a translation from the French published on our French site Easyvoyage.com.
The Jordan Valley Mariott is near the Kempinsky and Movenpick hotels on the shores of the Dead Sea. Aqaba is a 2 hour car journey away and the Jordan Valley, Mount Nebo and Bethany are about 30 minutes away by car.
The Jordan Valley Marriott Resort & Spa, which opened in 2002, offers its guests the opportunity to make the most of the Dead Sea's beneficial properties. Whether you choose to bathe in the salty waters of the sea or head for treatments and massages in the spa, the benefits of the Dead Sea will leave you with baby soft skin. The spa has a Mediterranean ambience and contains a sea-water swimming pool. The hotel has three swimming pools, each with a specific purpose. The first has water massage jets and a jacuzzi, with the pleasant tinkle of decorative waterfalls in the background. The second pool is smaller and ideal for families (there is a children's pool just next to it and a jacuzzi for adults). The third pool is an infinity pool reserved for bathers over 18 years of age. Cocktails are served at the nearby bar, and can be enjoyed on big white sofas as you take in the view over the Dead Sea.
The 251 rooms are all decorated in the same way, the only difference being the size of the beds (small, large, double, twin, etc.). The decor is satisfactory, but could be improved and brought more up to date. The green fitted carpet with pink patterns darkens the room and makes it seem smaller. The paintings on the walls and the bed covers bring an Oriental feel to the room, while the colonnade lamps are more akin to the Roman style. The furniture is made of dark wood and there is a thick duvet and soft pillows on the bed to help you have sweet dreams. On the practical side of things, there is a huge cupboard for you to store your luggage and all the rooms have a television, a telephone, a minibar, internet (payable), a safe, air-conditioning, and tea and coffee-making facilities. ALL the rooms also have a balcony with a table and chairs overlooking the Dead Sea. As for the bathrooms, they are decorated in beige and brown tones and have a bathtub but no shower. Hospitality products are provided, along with a hair-dryer and dressing gown.
The main restaurant, Mosaïco, serves breakfast as a buffet, while lunch and dinner can be chosen from the buffet or 'a la carte'. There is a different theme at every evening meal. There is an Arabic theme on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, while Sunday is Italian, Thursday Asian, Wednesday Mediterranean and Friday international. The large room is decorated in a modern Oriental style, and extends out onto a terrace with a view over the swimming pool and the sea in the distance. In the evening, you can also go for a steak at Jo's Steakhouse, which serves cuts of Australian meat in a cosy, intimate setting. The wood-clad Champions Sports Bar & Restaurant has an altogether different atmosphere, with televisions showing football matches, basketball, baseball and so on. It serves up American-style food (hamburgers, fries, etc.) and a DJ mixes it up on the weekend, transforming the restaurant into a dance floor. An Italian restaurant, Il Terrazzo, serves typical Italian dishes at lunchtime (pizzas, pasta, antipasti, etc.) in a 'dolce vita' setting (red stone, wooden furniture, etc.). As its name suggests, this restaurant has an outdoor terrace so you can enjoy your meal with a view of the Dead Sea. Barbecue fans can head for the Cascades restaurant of an evening from the 1st of April to the 30th of June, when fish and steaks are grilled and served up with a sauce of your choice. If you are just a bit peckish, sandwiches and various snacks are prepared at the Acacia Bar & Lounge. Ice cream, coffee, cappuccino, tea and other drinks can also be ordered there. The best place to relax by the sea is the Oasis Pool Bar, where you can also smoke a hookah pipe on the terrace and enjoy live music in the evening.
The hotel beach is quite long and wide, but the sand is neither white nor fine. Straw parasols and loungers are set out, perfect for a long siesta by the water. The beach is screened off from the hotel by greenery.

Skyrocketing demand for glass eels, once considered a high-brow delicacy, is pushing Japanese fishermen to exhaust the population and causing prices to soar.

The local housing market struggled forward in August, roiled by a surge in foreclosures and distressed properties in the Tri-Cities and Kane County.
According to the latest round of home sales data supplied by local real estate associations, homes sold in the Tri-Cities and Kane County increased sharply last month.
In the Tri-Cities, the number of homes sold jumped by 29 percent in August, compared with August 2011, according to data from the MainStreet Association of Realtors, a trade group representing Chicago area real estate agents.

Response has bean so good, says café owner
The owner of a new town coffee shop says he is overwhelmed by the staggering number of job applications he has received.
Francis Canale, 55, will open the flagship UK store of his family's café company Roastino this weekend, but says he had a tough job whittling down job-hunters to find his final three employees.
According to Francis, his advertisement with Jobcentre Plus prompted 2,423 replies to his personal web account. The shocked entrepreneur said: "People do sometimes say there are lots of people out of work but when you hear that, it's shocking."
Francis wanted his workforce to be local, so turned down those who lived further than a 20-mile radius from the Hemel Hempstead store.
He added: "I looked at the different CVs and I know I would have liked to see more people, but I had to get through it somehow. I couldn't respond to everyone.
"I tried my best to be fair to everybody and I do feel sorry for many of them, but I am confident the three we chose will do the job very well."
The Marlowes store, situated at the corner of Bridge Street, will host an open day this Saturday, March 9 to show prospective customers what their brand is all about.
Francis, who has already set up two Roastino shops in the south of France, added: "There are some beautiful coffee shops in Hemel Hempstead, but we think we can go a step further by offering customers the choice of the origin of their coffee.
"Everybody is talking about traceability, and our coffee is roasted on the premises. Customers can choose coffee from Nicaragua or Columbia, for example. It will be a rich experience."
Roastino's open day will feature a buffet as well as various coffee tastings.

Cherries: Gregory and club agree to terminate contract
4:00pm Thursday 20th December 2012 in Latest Sport By Ian Wadley
STEVEN Gregory could be set to rejoin AFC Wimbledon after Cherries confirmed his contract had today been terminated by mutual consent.
The central midfielder had been on loan with the League Two outfit and now looks likely to move back to the club on a permanent basis.
Gregory scored two goals in 33 appearances for Cherries after being signed by Lee Bradbury from Wimbledon in June 2011.
Snapped up on a two-year deal for a fee believed to have been around £55,000, he was often first choice under Bradbury.
But he saw his first-team opportunities limited following Bradbury's exit and featured just once from the bench this term.
Having impressed during a spell with Wimbledon which expired at the weekend, Gregory is understood to be in talks to return to Kingsmeadow.
Discussing the 25-year-old, Cherries boss Eddie Howe told the Daily Echo: "Steven has been away playing for AFC Wimbledon and getting games and he is out of contract in the summer.
"From my perspective, I would only want to call someone back if I was going to bring them into the team and involve them from the bench.
"With Steven, that probably wouldn't have been the case and I think it is best that he continues his footballing career somewhere else.
"I don't know him personally and have never met him but, by all accounts, he is a very good professional and a very good player, so we certainly wish him well in the future."

4:48pm Thu 20 Dec 12
But as I said earlier, I think Gregory's heart is with Wimbledon, so for him probably the best thing. Hope he helps keep them in the league.

4:50pm Thu 20 Dec 12
Gregory simply wasn't good enough for League One and with the money invested by our new owner Maxim Demin we are now blessed with plenty of talent in midfield and he'd never get near the bench let alone first team. You can be sure Gregory will now sign for AFC Wimbledon, probably a deal that's already done.
4:54pm Thu 20 Dec 12
4:56pm Thu 20 Dec 12
He was touted about when young Tom was playing football manager, I've never heard EH mention him.
MB will be back though.

He is wanted by AFCW and no doubt feels leaving is the right thing for him personally at this moment

H'mm...a bit puzzling. Never met him or seen him play, but not in his plans. That needs some explanation in my book. He would have been a good stand in for MacDonald. EM should have watched him against franchise ! . But as I said earlier, I think Gregory's heart is with Wimbledon, so for him probably the best thing. Hope he helps keep them in the league.
Suggests to me Eddie has someone, he considers a better player, lined up to join us in the January window.

I think it is fair to say that, sadly, summer is well and truly over here. The children are back at school and the weather has definitely changing – the leaves are turning and soon summer will be a long distant memory. As he school holidays took it's toll on my design time, I wanted to share you a little snapshot of what we have been up to during the summer!
We had a lovely, relaxed family holiday by the seaside in Cornwall. After the chaos of the end of the school term it really was blissful!
Isn't it beautiful? We hit the beach every day, even when it rained I was in rock pool heaven hunting for crabs and starfish, it was like being ten years old again! All the seaweed was a bit slippery though, I may have ended up on my backside once or twice. Ouch.
After a week or so of eating fish and chips and ice cream every day, we filled the rest of the school holidays with family birthdays, a wedding and visits along with the odd day trip thrown in too. We met some scary dinosaurs at the zoo (in the rain!):
Don't worry. We escaped unharmed, in fact we had even tamed the T-Rex by the end of the day.
We visited the beach again a couple of times, this is Llandudno in north Wales:
Despite not managing to get hold of any tickets to the Olympics or the Paralympic games – and believe me, I tried, I even had some Paralympic tickets in my shopping cart but missed the chance to buy them by seconds before they sold out, argghhh! – we got into the Olympic spirit by holding the Paralympic flame, twice (and winning a big cuddly Wenlock!):
Visiting an Olympic cyclist inspired straw sculpture at a local ice cream farm, and sampling the ice cream of course, it would have been rude not to:
And going on a Wenlock and Mandeville hunt through London:
Someone was very happy to meet Captain Jack along the way (although another little person wasn't very impressed to find out that it was Captain Jack Sparrow, rather than Captain Jack from Doctor Who!):
We had a brush with the long arm of the law…
…and finished off the day by going home on the Hogwarts Express. Sort of.
How was your summer? I hope you too had a wonderful time with your nearest and dearest!

~ What's with the name?
Well, Spohr is our last name. It is NOT pronounced "SO-FER" or "SPORF" or "SPHORE". It's pronounced SPORE. According to Wikipedia, a spore is a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersion and surviving for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Like us, only spelled differently. And, ya know…not poisonous. Usually.
~ Remember after 9/11 when there was that big anthrax spore scare?
Oh yes, we remember. Mike thought all your jokes were hilarious.
~ Do you read all the comments?
Yes, I do. Even when I have a ton. Even when the post is days/weeks/months old. I read every.single.comment.
~ What kind of dog is Rigby?
Rigby is a Maltese, and she is FEMALE. You can read more about her here.
~ What do you and Mike do for a living?
Mike is a Copywriter, Web Content Specialist, and freelance writer. He is also a substitute teacher for America's Youth. I am a writer, baby wrangler, and professional toilet breaker.
~ What kind of camera do you use?
You can read all about my camera equipment here.
~ How did you and Mike meet?
At a drag queen karaoke bar. What, isn't that where everyone meets?
~ My friend has a child in the NICU. What can I do?
I wrote a post about what to do in this situation, you can find it here. You can also tell your friend about Friends of Maddie.org, where many NICU families have shared their stories. And don't forget to tell your friend congratulations on the new baby!
~ What kind of clotting disorder do you have?
I have something called Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome. So far, it's only a problem for me when I'm pregnant. I've written about it here and here.
~ Are you on Twitter or Facebook and do you accept friend requests from blog readers?
I am and I do! I'm @mamaspohr on twitter, and you can find me on facebook here.
~ Do you accept blog ads?
I do indeed. Email me at thespohrs at gmail dot com and we can get down to business.
~ Do you do speaking engagements?
Yes. Please email me at thespohrs at gmail dot com so we can discuss what you have in mind.
~ How can I be a blogger?
Anyone can be a blogger. My advice is to write all the time. I write every day, and I have since 2002. The more you write, the better you'll get. Write, write, write. And love it. If you don't love it, don't even start. I didn't have comments on my first blog, or my second blog. I blogged without any feedback for five years, because I loved it. I still do.
~ Do you do product reviews?
Very rarely, and if I do, there has to be something awesome in it for my readers. Feel free to pitch me if you think your product meets that strict requirement. Also, please know that due to the large number of pitches I receive, I only have the time to reply to relevant requests. That means if you send me a request to do a story on teaching my teenager not to text while driving, I'm not going to get back to you. Thanks for understanding.
~ How can I contact you?
Head on over to my contact page for all that delightful information.
Have another question? Send it over to thespohrs at gmail dot com.

On Friday I attended the MCB premieres of two Balanchine ballets, "Ballo della Regina", staged by its original ballerina, Merrill Ashley, and "Stravinsky Violin Concerto", staged by Bart Cook. As soon as the curtain went up on "Ballo", the audience clapped enthusiastically, and justifiably, for the beautiful sight: The four solo girls in lavender and the twelve corps girls in aqua-marine were all in lovely poses, and the sensuously luminous mother-of-pearl backdrop and golden lighting of the original production were all well reproduced before us. Not to mention the rising opening chords of Verdi's happy music.
Catoya performed this reputedly taxing role with an even smoothness, but I wanted something more, some modulation. Then I reflected that this was her debut in "Ballo", and for her to raise this role to this level right off the bat was cause more for cheering than for grumbling. And by Sunday afternoon, what I wanted was starting to happen. And she still danced "as though effort were not involved," said one of my guests, a former singer and dancer with professional experience. (Catoya's partner was Mikhail Ilyin, whose dancing was also effortless; neat, clear, polished, superb.) Saturday evening saw Katia Carranza in the role, also an inflected performance, if not equally strong.
So what had happened? I don't want to take away from what dancers can do on their own, but Merrill Ashley and Bart Cook, who had been in the studio during the week to stage "Ballo" and "Stravinsky Violin Concerto", turned up Saturday evening to give the pre-performance talk in Edward Villella's absence (he went to the Ann Arbor symposium on Balanchine), so Ashley may have worked with the dancers some more on Saturday.
My guest was enthusiastic. After explaining that she saw several groups of Russian dancers on tour in her upstate New York town, she said, "We expect good ballet from Russia, but not from Miami! The Russians are technicians, but this is beautiful!" This kind of thing happens over and over in my experience: I introduce people to good performances of Balanchine, and they're amazed and delighted. While they are not a representative sample of the general population, I still get the feeling there would be much benefit on both sides if only more people knew what was going on here!
"Stravinsky Violin Concerto" was led by Deanna Seay and Kenta Shimizu as the Aria I couple and Jennifer Kronenberg and Carlos Guerra in Aria II. The tights-and-leotard costuming of this ballet makes it obvious that Seay doesn't have the stereotypical long-legged Balanchine dancer's body; with shorter legs and longer torso, she's, well, more like Karin von Aroldingen, long one of Balanchine's principals, actually, and the originator of this role. So much for that stereotype. And Seay dances it her own way, clearly and subtly articulated, not slurred, within the flow. She makes it all work. No, better: She makes it all live. And her partner, Kenta Shimizu, was excellent, large and clear, just right for the role.
Kronenberg was at least as effective as Kay Mazzo, her role's originator, had been, as far as I was concerned, and her fine partner seemed touched at the end of Aria II by what had happened in that movement. What does happen? At the end, he stands behind her and extends an arm over her shoulder with palm open, as though to show her the world, to which they bow as one; then he brings that hand over her eyes and bends her backward, as though to blind her? So some suggest. In his pre-performance remarks, Villella suggested he blinds her to his anguish; Iliana Lopez, who danced an effectively nuanced performance with Yann Trividic Saturday and Sunday, ventured Sunday that "he covers my eyes not to see the cruelty of the world." My own view is that it's more important to notice things like this and to be struck by them and to wonder a little than it is to get a definite answer, which may not actually be provable. Hints expand in our minds. Less is more.
"Stars and Stripes" Saturday evening was most memorable for Catoya's Fourth Campaign. Watching her strut downstage toward us, swinging her shoulders and grinning, I wondered who was having more fun, her doing it or me watching? Friday and Sunday, with Catoya in "Ballo", Katia Carranza took over, with Luis Serrano; she gave it an excellent, peppy performance, but it was not the grand fun Catoya had with it.

I hope to be able to travel to Miami to see them someday. I'm afraid that for most ballet companies that tour, the Western US has a northern limit of San Francisco.

hockeyfan228, MCB was on tour to your neck of the woods in October of 2001. I believe the venue was a college performing arts center about an hour south of Seattle. They also went to Anchorage on that same tour. Check their web site for touring information. This is often when we get to see them--on tour. In fact, we are going to see them this weekend in Fairfax, Va.
