|Red Bats are migratory, arriving in the northern climates in mid-April and leaving in late October. There are records of bats hibernating in the northern parts of their range, but they typically migrate to warmer regions. When red bats hibernate they choose hollow trees. They maintain body temperatures just above freezing and cannot withstand prolonged periods of below freezing temperatures. They may lose up to 25% of their pre-hibernation weight by spring, severely depleting fat reserves (Fenton 1985).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The species tends to choose habitats that are sparsely to moderately populated by humans and are rare in heavily urbanized areas. Mating takes place in flight and copulation usually occurs in August or September. The sperm is stored until the spring, usually March or April. Female red bats possess four mammary glands while most other chiropterans have two. Female Red Bats give birth to one litter of twins each year, unlike most bats which give birth to single young. Newborn bats are hairless and weigh approximately 1.5 g. The young learn to fly at about five weeks old. Like all mammals, female red bats nurse their young until the young are able to fend for themselves. It takes young red bats about five weeks to learn how to fly and forage on their own (Myers and Hatchett 2000).
Lasiurus borealis choose roosting sites in dense foliage. They may be visible hanging from branches or leaves but their colouration helps to camouflage them from predators. Their red coat is particularly helpful at camouflaging them in sycamore, oaks, elm, and box elder trees and they seem to prefer these trees as roost sites (Constantine 1996). Sites that have been used as roosting areas range from 2 to 40 feet off the ground. The roosting sites of solitary bats have not been as well studied as those of more gregarious bats. Some field workers believe that red bats defend feeding territories (Constantine 1966, Fenton 1985). Red bats are insectivorous. They capture insects while flying like many other insectivorous bats (Myers and Hatchett 2000).
|Major Threat(s):
|Red Bats are secure over most of their range and are not considered threatened (Myers and Hatchett 2000).
|Conservation Actions:
|This species occurs within protected areas in Mexico.

There are many ways for people to look visibly younger than their actual years. This article will concentrate of three of those ways, which are:
1. Hair color
2. Staying fit by eating right and exercising
3. Using anti-aging products
One way for people to look visibly younger than they may be is through the use of various hair coloring products. Men as well as women are the targets for this large market. Gray hair, which can make a person look distinguished and attractive, is largely frowned upon by the generation which wants to look younger than they are. Dying one's hair can be an easy process to do at home if a person is not inclined to spend perhaps hundreds of dollars at a beauty salon. Dozens of commercials can be seen on the television encouraging the use of hair care products to color and cover the gray. This is an effective way for people to appear younger if that is their desire. Although millions of people color their hair, some people will choose to let their hair color go gray whenever that happens. That is their choice. Although their hair may make them look a little older than if they had colored it, many people will prefer not to go to the expense and inconvenience of using this method of looking younger. Gray hair can be attractive, and many younger people have it.
Another important factor in trying to look young is to stay fit and trim. A thinner body is generally more becoming. Although people of every age range may be overweight, it is often a condition that is associated with advancing years. It is more unusual for an older person to be thin and in shape. Staying that way, however, can be a way to look visibly younger while also providing the means for remaining healthy while aging. Physical problems multiply dramatically if a person is obese or even what is considered to be moderately fat. Eating right and getting enough physical exercise are most important in keeping the body fit and trim as well as healthy. Eating an ample supply of fruits and vegetables is an important factor in good health. Keeping the body active through physical activity and exercise is vital for keeping in shape.
The third way is to consider using some of the dozens of anti-aging products available to correct some of the inner problems in order to appear visibly younger on the outside as well. Multivitamins and nutritional supplements of all types are sold to enhance one's physical wellbeing. Antioxidants and other products to help restore cells to a healthy state may be used. Trying products to fix the inside as well as the outside appearance can possibly help people to appear younger and healthier than their actual years.

Max Verstappen says he was "prepared" for the waves of criticism about his formula one debut in 2015.
News that the 16-year-old Dutchman will make history as the sport's youngest ever race driver for Toro Rosso next year has been controversial.
Even his predecessor at the second Red Bull team, Daniel Ricciardo, has his doubts.
"I think Verstappen will answer on the track at the time of his debut and the months after it," the Australian said as he accepted the Lorenzo Bandini award in Italy.
"For me, I think a driver in formula one at 17 is too young, but that's only my personal opinion so it may be different, we'll see. For me, it's too young," the 25-year-old is quoted by Italy's Omnicorse.
Verstappen, whose father Jos raced in the 90s and even for Toro Rosso's former guise Minardi in 2003, gave his critics more fuel at the weekend as he appeared in a F1 car for the street demonstration in Rotterdam.
The 16-year-old crashed the Toro Rosso-liveried car head-first into the barrier, apparently as he fumbled with the complex controls of a modern F1 machine.
Earlier, Verstappen said that when he signed the deal with Red Bull, he expected criticism to follow.
"When you are being announced as the youngest ever formula one driver, you can expect it," he is quoted by the Dutch website RaceXpress.nl.
"I had prepared myself for it, and it's fine that everyone can have their own opinion.
"Next year we will see how it turns out," Verstappen added.
Rotterdam at the weekend was the first time Verstappen's F1 veteran father Jos had seen his son drive an F1 car, having missed the recent Rockingham shakedown.
"I felt no tension," said the former Benetton driver. "When I see how calm he is and how he deals with everything, I just know it will be ok."
Verstappen snr said he is not sure what the next steps for Max will be, amid speculation he will appear for Toro Rosso on Friday mornings later this season.
"I have no clue," said Jos. "It changes from day to day.
"What we have decided is that it will be a little easier now in terms of publicity. After this weekend, Max should focus on his racing and his preparations."
Max agrees: "I do not know exactly what the programme looks like and whether I will run in practice sessions.
"Formula one is very different from F3 - the cars have a lot more power, pulling very fast and just continuing to accelerate. I cannot wait to get on a real circuit and go flat out."
Finally, F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone said he sees no issue with Verstappen's controversial early debut.
"Why not?" he told Roger Benoit, the veteran correspondent for the Swiss newspaper Blick.
"If he has the talent, he should try it. I see no reason for an age limit. Maybe I'll try to make a comeback," the nearly 84-year-old Ecclestone joked.
The F1 chief executive also acknowledged that Verstappen's debut might be good for the sport in terms of opening the eyes of a younger generation of fans.
"Toto Wolff is always telling me the importance of social networks," Ecclestone said. "Let's see."

By Donna Miles, American Forces Press ServiceSeptember 8, 2008
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, 2008 - Some came to the National America Supports You Freedom Walk today to help heal scars left when the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack on the Pentagon ripped a loved one from their life. Some came to remember coworkers with whom they had served, whose days were cut short when American Airlines Flight 77 smashed into the building. Many who hadn't experienced a personal loss said they walked to honor those who did, and to show support for troops who continue to defend the freedoms attacked that day.
In the nation's capital, walkers assembled Sunday morning at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, enjoying a picture-perfect morning reminiscent of the one shattered seven years ago during terror attacks at the Pentagon, New York's World Trade Center and in Shanksville, Pa.
Bagpipers and drummers from New York, Philadelphia and Northern Virginia led the sea of walkers in white "Freedom Walk" T-shirts along the mile-long course from the Women in Military Service for America Memorial to the Pentagon.
"Every person here wearing a white T-shirt communicates to the families that we haven't forgot those killed on 9/11," said Allison Barber, deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, who established the annual Freedom Walk tradition. "But the Freedom Walk is also a time to recognize that what the terrorists attacked on Sept. 11 was our freedom, and to show our gratitude to the men and women in uniform who continue to defend those freedoms."
Stephanie Desimone, whose husband, Navy Cmdr. Patrick Dunn, was killed in the Pentagon attack, said seeing such a visible outpouring of support brings strength to families who lost love ones.
"That support is so important to the families," she said.
As she prepared to begin her second Freedom Walk, Desimone paused to consider what the walk means to her personally. "I'm walking here today for my husband and our family, and what we have come through and how we have healed," she said.
Family members, recognizable by the red bracelets around their wrists, followed the bagpipers along the route as they paid tribute to their lost love ones.
Heidi Zetscher returned this year for her fourth Freedom Walk to honor her uncle, James T. Lynch, a Navy employee killed in the attack. Marcella Potter and her sister, Amanda Golinski, walked to remember their father, retired Army Col. Ronald Golinski, who had returned to the Pentagon as a civilian employee.
Lynch and Golinski were two of just five of the 184 killed during the Pentagon attack whose remains were never identified.
Veronica and Sylvia Carver, who lost their sister Sharon Carver in the Pentagon attack, said the Freedom Walk helps ensure the memory of those killed during 9-11 lives on. "I've been doing this walk every year and I've watched it grow and grow and grow. That's really wonderful," said Veronica.
"The Freedom Walk is a way to recognize the people who died, but ever since we went to war, we realize that it's not just about 9-11," she said. "It's also about the soldiers, and all that they are doing."
For retired Army Maj. David King, who was working in the Pentagon on 9-11, taking part in his third Freedom Walk was a way to honor two of his office members killed, Army Staff Sgt. Maudlyn A. White and Lt. Col. Jerry Dickerson.
"It's important to remember those who died that day and to remind us why we are fighting this war," King said. "I've come to honor those who lost, and those who continue to sacrifice."
Many of the walkers have experienced those sacrifices firsthand. Among them was Army Staff Sgt. Chad Atkinson, who stood out from the crowd as he walked in his Army advanced combat uniform with his wife Sylvia and three children, the youngest just 16 days old.
"This is the first time I've been able to take part in the Freedom Walk because I was home and not deployed," said Atkinson, a 14-year soldier assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency. "Being a military family, we wanted to be here and support this effort. It's really nice to see all this.
"From being deployed, I know how much American Supports You has done, and this walk is an example of that," he said.
Army Master Sgt. Steve Magnin also chose to wear his uniform as he walked alongside his wife, Brenda, with both expressing amazement at the size of today's turnout.
"I was just shocked to see how many people are here," said Brenda. "This shows that we will not allow 9-11 to be forgotten. And no matter what your opinion is of the war, whether you support it or are against it, this shows that everyone is united in their support for the soldiers."
"That's because they recognize that you can never take our freedom for granted," her husband said. "As a soldier who has served in Iraq, I can tell you how great it is when you see support for our nation and support for our soldiers. I love to see a program like this work."
Pushing a stroller along the route, Kelly McDonald wore a yellow ribbon pinned to her Freedom Walk T-shirt as she walked with coworkers from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Just days earlier, McDonald had told her husband, Army Capt. Patrick McDonald, who deployed to Iraq in May with the 403rd Military Intelligence Detachment, of her plans to take part in the Freedom Walk.
"For me, being here is two-fold," she said as she passed a giant American flag hanging from the side of the Pentagon building, reminiscent of the one hung just hours after the Sept. 11 attack. "It's to memorialize those killed during the tragedy of Sept. 11. But it's also to show support for my husband and his soldiers, as well as all members of the military who are serving."
McDonald said the Freedom Walk sends an important message to all U.S. troops, particularly those like her husband who are serving in harm's way. "It's important for them to know that we are doing this to show our support, and that the American public stands behind them," she said. "Knowing that means a lot to them."
Navy Capt. Dave Duryea from Naval Sea Systems Command, who returned with his wife Colleen for their third Freedom Walk, expressed hope that Freedom Walk will help people refocus on the lessons of Sept. 11. "It's important to remember what happened, and I have concerns that some people are forgetting it," he said.
"We haven't been attacked again, but the threat is still there," he said. "That's why it's important that we remember what happened, and we remember our servicemembers who are deployed overseas and who continue to sacrifice. That's what the Freedom Walk is about."
Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England set the tone for today's Freedom Walk, telling participants the only reason terrorists killed nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11 was that they didn't know how to kill more. The crowd cheered when England extended thanks to the men and women in uniform who gave stood the front lines to protect the United States from another attack.
"We wake up free every morning because great Americans put who put on the uniform of our country for 230 some years have gone forward to protect and defend those freedoms," he said. "We have, as a nation, an amazing debt of gratitude to all these people who have given their lives for these many years for our freedoms and for the freedoms of future generations."
Kelly Wright, co-anchor of Fox & Friends Weekend and a former Army sergeant, served as emcee at the closing concert by the Oak Ridge Boys.
Wright noted the appropriateness of starting the Freedom Walk, where servicemembers who have paid the ultimate price have been laid to rest. Equally symbolic, he said, was its ending point, just steps from the site where 184 lives were snuffed out on Sept. 11, 2001.
Wright told the group he hopes their participation in the Freedom Walk serves as an inspiration and a reminder of the lessons of 9/11. "The Freedom Walk celebrates our freedom and it reminds us of the sacrifice that has been made - and continues to be made," he said.
Today's Freedom Walk kicks off a week of commemorative events leading up to the dedication of the Pentagon Memorial Sept. 11.

To report an emergency in progress, call 911.
February 12, 2013
A Memorandum of Understanding between the county and the Placer County Deputy Sheriff's Association (DSA) was approved by the County Board of Supervisors last week. The Board's action, at its regularly scheduled meeting will adjust benefits for the covered employees. The Board also approved mandatory, voter-approved salary adjustments for deputy sheriffs and other related jobs. The Association represents about 239 active employees, including sheriff's deputies, sergeants, district attorney investigators and welfare fraud investigators.
The salary adjustments, known as Measure F, are tied to a salary formula based on an average of the salaries for comparable positions in Nevada County, El Dorado County and Sacramento County. Since the salary adjustments are the result of a voter-adopted ballot measure, the Board of Supervisors cannot adjust nor delay these salary adjustments.
"The members of the Placer County Deputy Sheriffs Association have approved contract agreements that will help the county realize real savings over the next three years," said Garland Lew, DSA President. "Our members understand the difficult economic times that face the communities we serve and believe the concessions we have made will strengthen the county's fiscal outlook and recovery. DSA members have once again shown that their true purpose is to serve the residents of Placer County."
The adjustments take effect in February and March, and the memorandum extends for the next two years through June 2015, for DSA - represented employees. They include:
The memorandum approved this week by the Supervisors also includes adjustments to benefits for DSA - represented employees. These adjustments include:
The changes that will take effect in 2014 include:
The County and the DSA continue to work together to develop a multi-year contract that furthers a sustainable benefit platform.

"It's pretty cool. It's never happened to me before and I feel pretty good about it," said Seguin after the Bruins practiced today at Ristuccia Arena.
Seguin leads the Bruins with 20 points and 11 goals

After touting Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood colleagues as moderates, both the New York Times and the Obama administration were shocked into acknowledging a vastly different reality this week.
Each condemned comments Morsi made in a 2010 interview, recently unearthed and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
Zionists, Morsi said, are "blood-suckers, who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs."
The vision of a peaceful, two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is "an illusion," he said.
"Therefore, these negotiations must stop once and for all. Everybody must turn to the support of the resistance, which is the option chosen by the Palestinians and by us all – the Arabs and the Muslims, Palestinians and others. We must all realize that resistance is the only way to liberate the land of Palestine."
MEMRI posted the video and its translation January 4, but it generated little attention until writers Richard Behar and Jeffrey Goldberg called attention to it. "Surely, if the president of virtually any other country in the world had defamed an entire people in such a way — only a couple years before they got the top job, to boot — it would have at least gotten a few column-inches," Behar wrote. "Yet Morsi gets a free pass."
The Times published a story Monday by Cairo Bureau Chief David Kirkpatrick and an editorial Wednesday criticizing the statements. But in both cases, the newspaper failed to show that Morsi's views were no aberration. Rather, they are part of a continuum of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel incitement that dates back to the organization's original ideologues.
The information is in the Times' own archives, but apparently nobody looked. Instead, the editorial weakly aimed for a context to explain Morsi's hate speech away, and threw in outrageous moral relativism. "The problem goes deeper than just Mr. Morsi, however. The remarks were made at a time when anti-Israel sentiment was running high in Egypt and the region after the three-week Gaza conflict in 2009 between Israel and Hamas," the Times editorial said. "The sad truth is that defaming Jews is an all too standard feature of Egyptian, and Arab, discourse; Israelis are not immune to responding in kind either."
Well, no on both counts. Casting Morsi's statements somehow as a reaction to Israel's 2009 war with Gaza ignores the fact that Morsi and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders routinely offer conspiracies blaming Jews for Egypt's problems. They call for jihad to liberate Palestine in times of peace and times of turmoil. And no Israeli leader, or state-sanctioned media, has come close to responding in-kind.
To his credit, Kirkpatrick's story identifies a second 2010 video in which Morsi urges Muslims "to nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for them: for Zionists, for Jews…"
But the article fails to show the deeper context. This kind of speech is nothing new for the Muslim Brotherhood. Sayyid Qutb, one of the group's luminaries, even wrote a book called "Our Battle with the Jews." He cited the infamous anti-Semitic forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and blamed Jews for Muslim problems.
"From such creatures who kill, massacre and defame prophets one can only expect the spilling of human blood and dirty means which would further their machinations and evilness," he wrote.
Examples in the Times' own news archive and in other outlets show that Morsi and fellow Muslim Brotherhood leaders adhere to Qutb's anti-Semitism, which is, and always has been, a hallmark of the Brotherhood's ideology.

Additionally, I loved the focus on learning, not just on grades; I was overwhelmed by the number of students who said they prioritized their deep understanding over their test results, and that paid off for a more solid foundation in their major come junior and senior years. MIT offered the perfect balance of academics, athletics, and social: while understanding that the students put their classes and their learning first, Tech sports are competitive and successful, and students still get the chance to hang out with their friends, whether it's during a study break, dorm dinner, or just hanging out on the weekend.

Ventura Won't Be Sanctioned In Court Case
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A federal magistrate judge says he won't sanction former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura for failing to turn over his military service records.
Ventura is suing the widow of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who claimed in a book that he punched a man in a bar who he later identified as Ventura. The former governor says the incident never happened and sued for defamation. Kyle died in an unrelated incident in February, but the lawsuit continues against Taya Kyle as executor of his estate.
The sanctions request was one of several motions U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan dismissed during a pretrial hearing Wednesday.
Ventura's lawyers say he lost most of his military service papers. The only document he has produced has been his discharge record.

Coby MP-C552 Clip MP3 Player Review
Coby MP-C552 Clip MP3 Player 512 MB (I wasn't sure where to post the review, so I figured I would post it here)
This, my friends, is the Coby MP-C552, or just the Coby clip. Obviously attempting to cash in on the people in the market for the iPod Shuffle, it is not nearly as good as the iPod Shuffle, the Sansa Clip, or even the Zune Clip (it's possible ) And in this review you shall see why.
Well, let's look at the design. The design has little learning curve and it is kept clean and simple. A flashing button and 3 buttons that dominate the face of the player, on the side there is a hold switch and a shuffle/normal play switch. Volume is adjusted by holding down the track skip button. The player itself is a little chunky when it comes to the thickness of the sides, but everywhere else it is only slightly bigger than the iPod Shuffle. As long as you don't wear incredibly tight pants, you should be able to comfortably pocket the player. However, the clip really doesen't clip back, just a small amount, I couldn't even clip it on my belt.
The player is also very light and durable, I've dropped it on concrete a LOT, and it still plays like the day I bought it. So that's always good.
Less features than even the iPod shuffle. It plays music in WMA/MP3 (at least the shuffle has AAC) format, and that is all it does. No FM scanner, no screen, no battery indicator, nothing but music. And as for music, it doesen't even do that well. There is a good amount of background noise while listening to music, and the volume on the player does not get very loud. The music isn't sorted very well, it will play 3 or so tracks from one artist, then go to one song from another artist, then 4 more of the other, and so on. Playing it in sequence is almost like a terrible shuffle mode. The player is really only good if you have 3 other MP3 players and they explode, then you use this one. It has a measly 6 Hour battery life, charged by USB.
I paid $20 for this black turd. Yeah, then I resold it to some poor sucker after a year of use (but it held up extremely well, props to that).
NO! You would have to be freaking stupid to get this, when you can get a Sansa Clip in 1GB for not much more. So, go get one.

Strand Theater
118 S. Santa Fe Avenue,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Dating from prior to 1926, the Strand Theater was remodeled in 1938, and closed in 1966.
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
Probably died when the USAF closed the big base there.
Boxoffice of October 23, 1937, said that the Fox Strand Theatre at Salina was being extensively remodeled and expanded. The January 15, 1938, issue said that Fox Midwest would open the Strand within 30 days. The project had cost $35,000, and the expanded theater would seat 750. The original seating capacity was not mentioned.
A house called Shanberg's Strand Theatre, Salina, Kas., was listed as one of the theaters showing the Pathe release "Play Ball" in an ad in The Reel Journal of August 8, 1925. This was most likely the same Strand Theatre that Fox Midwest later acquired.
Listings for the Strand stopped in 1966.

The Washington Post offered a splashy profile of freshman Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday, and the most surprising thing about it was a lack of venom. The reporter described "the self-assured, nonstop talker who won national debate championships as an undergraduate at Princeton."
Cruz "honed his reputation early in his career as a dazzling Supreme Court advocate" and now "has bashed into the national conversation," most notably in attacking establishment Republicans who've called him and other young Senate conservatives "wacko birds."
This story, however, wasn't as surprising as James Carville's declaration on ABC's "This Week." He was typically blunt – but in a wholly unexpected direction: "I think he is the most talented and fearless Republican politician I've seen in the last 30 years."
Carville accurately described the conservative view: "'If we only got someone who was articulate and was for what we were for, we would win elections. And we get these John McCains and these Mitt Romneys and these squishy guys that can't do anything.'" Carville added: "Well, there's one thing this guy is not -- he ain't squishy, not in the least."
The more typical take from the Left came from the same program, when former Gov. Bill Richardson insisted that Hispanic and conservative cannot go together in the same sentence: "He's anti-immigration. Almost every Hispanic in the country wants to see immigration reform.
I don't think he should be defined as a Hispanic. He's a politician from Texas. A conservative state." In the Richardson calculus, "pro-immigration" Marco Rubio is a Hispanic, while "anti-immigration" Ted Cruz is a politician from Texas.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is so tired of Cruz and his objections already that he has denounced him to his face as a "schoolyard bully." (To which Cruz shot back: "I wasn't aware we were in a schoolyard.")
Few people try to paint Ted Cruz as a lightweight – except the lightweights. Haters at the Daily Kos blog have risibly jeered he couldn't be considered as qualified to be "pool boy." Chris Matthews bashed Cruz as "another one of these well-educated right wingers like Pat Robertson. It's like they flush out their high educations when they get out of school for political purposes."
David Letterman recently named Cruz as a "Stooge of the Night" for failing to vote Letterman's way on gun control. But the segment was so listless and unfunny it almost made you miss that other gray-haired liberal guy with the glasses – remember that guy? – who did that "Worst Person in the World" segment.
It's clear that Cruz's intelligence is marking him for media harassment. Former Newsweek Washington bureau chief Evan Thomas spoke for the journalistic masses: "You need to watch this guy, because there are a lot of demagogues out there, but not that many who are that smart. He is really, really smart, and that makes him potentially dangerous."
Liberals are far more comfortable with Republican leaders they can define as dimwits – like that Harvard MBA, George W. Bush. They champion liberal politicians with mediocre college grades like Al Gore with honorifics like "The Thinking Man's Thinking Man." Ted Cruz upsets their liberals-are-smarter apple cart.
The media's Republicans In Name Only aren't fans, either. New York Times columnist David Brooks – the pseudoconservative who fraudulently purports to represent the Right on both PBS and NPR – declared that when you mention Cruz to other senators, "you just get titanic oceans of eye-rolling, because you're a freshman, you don't go in and take over hearings." Cruz is supposed to go along to get along, learn his place, "grow in office" and join the establishment. Brooks strangely added: "It doesn't help that he has a face that looks a little like Joe McCarthy actually."
Liberals have repeatedly linked Cruz to McCarthy after The New Yorker savaged Cruz because he said in a 2010 speech to a conservative crowd that Barack Obama "would have made a perfect president of Harvard Law School" because "there were fewer declared Republicans in the faculty when we were there than communists! There was one Republican. But there were 12 who would say they were Marxists."
The New Yorker's star witness against Cruz was "Republican" Harvard Law professor Charles Fried, who claimed he was one of four "out" Republicans on staff. Fried is an Obama supporter who recently donated $250 to elect liberal Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Despite the media harassment, Ted Cruz is kicking tail and taking names. The Washington Post notes that his reaction to all the criticism can be summed up as "Lovin' it!" He is one member of Congress I'd like every other Republican to emulate. How crazy could that make the media elite?

USA Truck Inc. reported Thursday a fourth-quarter net loss of $3.1 million, or 30 cents per share, an improvement from its net loss of $4.4 million, or 42 cents per share, in the same quarter of 2011.
The Van Buren-based dry van truckload carrier said it earned base revenue of $107.1 million in the fourth quarter, a 6.8 percent rise over the $100.3 million generated in the fourth quarter 2011.
"The improved operating fundamentals we experienced toward the end of the third quarter continued into the fourth quarter, and the improvement is reflected in our financial results as we narrowed our loss per share by 28.6% to $0.30 compared to a $0.42 loss a year ago," President and Chief Executive Officer Cliff Beckham said in a statement. "Sequentially, we nearly cut in half the third quarter's $0.59 loss per share in a historically seasonally weaker quarter for us."
For the full year of 2012, base revenue was $408.7 million, down from $411.0 million in the same period of 2011, the company said in a statement. The trucker incurred a net loss of $17.5 million, or $1.70 per share, for the year, compared with a net loss of $10.8 million, or $1.05 per share, in 2011.
Beckham said the company's trucking segment saw the biggest improvement, producing year-over-year revenue growth for the first time since the second quarter of 2011. "Base Trucking revenue grew 3.4% despite a 3.1% reduction in the average fleet size," he said in the statement.

Phoenix—This is a great time to be in the digital advertising and media space, top executives from AOL Inc. and Fidelity Investments said Monday at the Interactive Advertising Bureau's Annual Leadership Meeting here. "This is the lowest competition and highest opportunity (environment) that I've seen in 20 years," said Tim Armstrong, chairman-CEO of AOL and former president of Google Inc.'s Americas Operations. He compared the current state of the digital sector to the auto industry in the early decades of the 20th century. "The next 20 years will make the last 20 look small in comparison," he said. Armstrong noted several favorable trends, including the emergence of Big Data, which he said is still in its infancy, and the increasing digital connectedness of consumers. He also said he cheered the news that the U.S. Postal Service plans to eliminate most Saturday delivery, citing it as evidence that "the offline world is going offline." Jim Speros, exec VP-CMO of Fidelity Investments and a longtime marketing executive at AT&T, delivered a speech on "The New Golden Age of Marketing." Helping to usher in this era has been the arrival of Big Data. "We are definitely entering a new golden age of marketing where big ideas and Big Data coexist," Speros said. (The theme of this year's IAB meeting is "Big Data, Big Ideas: Friends, Enemies or Frenemies.") "Data is the lifeblood of Fidelity Investments," Speros said. For businesses overall, he said, "data is becoming as important as raw materials and fossil fuels." But Speros said Big Data is only part of the marketing equation and must be matched with creativity. "Simply collecting data is not an end in itself," he said. "Collecting too much data results in chaos." Most Popular In this article: BtoB

Occupy Manchester group ousted from park makes case before New Hampshire Supreme CcourtBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 05. 2014 8:18PM
CONCORD - Occupy Manchester protesters who camped out in Veterans Park as part of the nationwide Occupy Wall Street protest in October 2011 asked the Supreme Court Wednesday to toss out their curfew and criminal trespass convictions, arguing their protest was constitutionally protected free speech.
The court's five jurists vigorously questioned attorney Lawrence A. Vogelman, who said he proudly represented the 22 convicted.
Assistant Attorney General Lisa L. Wolford said the protesters didn't need to camp overnight in Veterans Park to get their message across, that they could have accomplished it during the 16 hours the park is open to the public.
Vogelman said the occupiers provided housing for the homeless, clothing, food, hygiene and took care of the park.
Justice Carol Ann Conboy questioned how they were to convey the message that they were 24/7 and provide housing to the homeless "if you made them go away."
Conboy, who noted the occupiers provided portable toilets and security, wondered if the constitutionality of the ordinance depended on what the people did to violate it. In other words, she said, would a group of rowdy people who trashed the park be in violation of the curfew?
The protesters are appealing the 21-page ruling of Judge William Lyons, who sits in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division. Lyons rejected the group's argument that they were exercising their state and U.S. constitutional rights of free speech and assembly and that their conduct was a protected right. He said free speech, under the state's constitution, "is not absolute."
Vogelman told the jurists Wednesday that Lyons misunderstood the message the group was trying to deliver. "Wasn't that your clients' fault?" asked Associate Justice Gary Hicks.
Vogelman said it wasn't. He explained that the protesters consisted of a disparate group which included members of the Tea Party, Free Staters, anarchists and veterans, all of whom showed they could live together in a democratic community.
Associate Justice James P. Bassett asked why they didn't just set up tents outside the park. Vogelman said they could have, but then they would have just violated a different city ordinance.
Conboy pointed out the first two nights of the protest, the occupiers were undisturbed by police. Vogelman said she was correct and added that he did not know why Mayor Ted Gatsas and aldermen later had them arrested.
Associate Justice Robert J. Lynn asked if Manchester police had to add extra patrols because of the occupiers. They didn't, Vogelman said.
Hicks wanted to know if the protestors believed their actions were legal, why did they stop?
Vogelman explained that his clients, 22 residents convicted of violating the city's 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. park curfew or of criminal trespass, are "law-abiding people. They didn't believe they were violating the law because they believed what they were doing was constitutionally protected."
Once they were arrested, however, Vogelman said they believed they could no longer continue their overnight protest in the park.
Three convicted of criminal trespass appealed their case to Hillsborough County Superior Court where they were convicted again. In that case, Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Charlene Dulac told jurors if they didn't find the defendants guilty, it would lead to the parks becoming centers for overnight drinking, drugging and camping, with violence likely.
Catherine Bailey of Manchester was one of about a dozen protesters who attended Wednesday's 30-minute hearing.
"I think it went really well," she said afterward.

He argues that some of the challenges facing the Negro are: taking advantage of all the new federal programs, encouraging youth to go into higher education, and developing massive action programs to rid unjust systems. Dr. King also states three myths the Negro should explore: the myth of time, the myth of "exaggerated progress," and the myth of "total reliance on the boothstrap philosophy."

Jennifer Aniston Got Her Hair Done During The Golden Globes Last Night! She Should Have Been There Looking HOT Instead!!
It's just too sad to think of Jen spending last night with her hairdresser—she should have gotten herself a smokin' hot dress and gone to the Globes with Courteney Cox!
Jennifer Aniston was photographed coming out of her hair salon (owned by her longtime stylist, Chris McMillan) last night newly highlighted and with a fresh blow-out—how depressing! While the rest of Hollywood glammed it up and partied all night, she basically stayed home and washed her hair! Ugh! We can't take it! Jen should have gone out and bought herself a HOT dress (like January Jones's red-hot Versace!), grabbed her BFF Courteney Cox and hit the Globes! They would have been the hottest couple of the evening!
Sure, she might have run into her ex, Brad Pitt with Angelina Jolie, but if she looked like THIS, who cares? She would have KILLED IT! And she could have been out there promoting her new movie, Just Go With It, like her co-star, Nicole Kidman!

Russia fields 25,000 volunteers for Sochi Games
Jan. 17, 2014
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — They are young, bright and speak good English. Russia has trained 25,000 volunteers to work at the upcoming Sochi Games.
President Vladimir Putin, who views the Olympics that start on Feb. 7 as a top priority of his presidency, met with a few dozen volunteers Friday at a biathlon venue in the mountains above Sochi, saying their work "to a greater extent is key to the atmosphere" at the games.
Volunteer candidates were expected to demonstrate at least an upper-intermediate command of English, and those selected were given online English classes. Some speak several languages.
Most of the volunteers are young and typically undergraduates like Yulia Nagaitseva, a 21-year-old journalism student from the city of Voronezh in southwestern Russia.
Nagaitseva was on a four-month work and travel program in the U.S. when she heard the Sochi organizers' call for volunteers.
"There are once in a lifetime events, and it's one of them," she said after the meeting with Putin. "I couldn't miss it."
Nagaitseva and other volunteers spoke of a stringent selection process for volunteers, which included multiple tests and Skype interviews.
Many foreign visitors at test events in Sochi last year spoke highly of the volunteers' language skills. They were also pleasantly surprised to see Russians smiling at them, unlike most Russians whose culture doesn't encourage smiling to strangers.
Volunteers were given classes on cultural awareness, which taught them to smile, among other things, said Sergei Pilipenko, a 52-year-old English professor from Kuban State University in the nearby city of Krasnodar.
Pilipenko, who will work at the main media center, recalled a recent meeting with a Japanese journalist.
"I saw a Japanese man bow — and we bowed back."

The Turkey Day Comfort Zone . . . Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving, aside from being a hopefully-heart-warming family holiday, as well as a dietary cautionary tale, is also a fairly rigorous exercise in domestic decision making, wouldn't you agree? So much to contemplate in preparing for the whole shebang. Almost invariably, it requires a bushy flock of post-it notes sticking out of cookbooks, at least three trips to the market in close succession due to overlooked ingredients, and one protracted search for that huge roasting pan that you know you saw on a shelf in the basement last Easter. Well, anyway, you think you saw it down there.
Despite the little stresses, we have enduring affection for this holiday all the same. It annually reminds us of how lucky we are, how gratitude uplifts us, and of how much we value everyone we love. It also reminds us of how much satisfaction and joy we get out of baking!
This year, as far as baking went, I opted for tradition. That decision allowed me to linger, one might say, in the wide and expansive Turkey Day comfort zone. Yesterday I bustled around in the kitchen for hours. The end result was a full-flavored pumpkin pie made with heavy cream and enhanced with a tiny bit of dark rum in the filling; a replay of the best apple-cranberry pie recipe I've ever used (and which can be found in loving detail in my blog, right here); and, three-dozen buttery dinner rolls, formed in three 9" cake pans--the kind of rolls that snuggle more closely together as they rise.
Though I don't have a new recipe to share with you today, I just wanted to tell you that I'm so grateful for the friends and acquaintances I've made through my interest in baking--both online and in person. I sincerely hope you have a festive and blessed Thanksgiving!
:) Warmly,

What a lovely post. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. I certainly did (if you don't count the pumpkin cheesecake I dropped on the kitchen floor at 11pm the night before, but I managed to "save" it, kinda, sorta... let's just say there was lots of pumpkin mousse involved to cover up the craters/flaws). It's a great recipe, btw, from Tish Boyle's "The Cake Book". It has a nut/ginger shortbread crust which is super awesome compared to a regular graham cracker crust.
PS: I'm still very thankful I found your blog!! :o)

A reputable rescue puts the dogs in its care FIRST. a reputable rescue does the following:
1. take only the dogs they can handle in.
2. gets every dog vetted and speutered prior to adopting out, and preferably before they go to a foster home with resident dogs.
3. Does specific screening for forever homes.
4. Does NOT adopt out to rentals or people in college(unstable living conditions)
5. Assesses the temperment of every dog that enters the program, and follows strict guidelines for temperment of the breed of dog they are involved in.
6. Depending on the breed of dog, does NOT do same sex placements of male/male or female/female adoptions.
7. Prefers to adopt to homes with children at least over the age of 7 preferably (not many people can handle a puppy with a child under the age of 7)
8. Does a vet check, 3 reference checks, a 2 hour phone interview, and finally a home visit, where proof of ownership of the home is seen.. There the family/person/couple is grilled again, for at least an hour again on the breed they want to adopt.
9. Takes back any dog they adopted out no matter if the rescue is inactive or not.
10. has a GREAT adoption contract and has few to no returns.
11. Screens the adopters very well.
12. Places all rescue dogs spayed and neutered first, complete vaccinations were given, and the dog is given a clean bill of health from the rescue vet.
13. Tells the new owner to bring the dog to their own vet within 3 days.
14. Most reputable rescues are either 501C3, or working on getting to be nonprofit.. Non profit rescues NEVER make any money on their dogs.. For Profit rescues keep the profits and make money off the dogs..
15. A reputable rescue that takes donations will not split the donations among the members, the rescue will put the donations toward the vet bills incurred or toward a new dog coming into the program..

You will learn
In this tutorial, you learn how to implement the
FUISearchBarcodeScanner protocol to scan barcodes and QR codes. This tutorial is not intended as a real-world example, but merely shows the working of the barcode functionality.
Build a simple iOS app with barcode scanner capabilities
In this tutorial, you learn how to implement the
FUISearchBarcodeScanner protocol to scan barcodes and QR codes. This tutorial is not intended as a real-world example, but merely shows the working of the barcode functionality.
To follow this tutorial you should have access to an iPhone or iPad running iOS 10 since the Xcode Simulator does not provide access to a camera.
Open Xcode, and from the menu File > New > Project choose a new Single View Application.
Enter a product name, for instance
ScannerTest, and specify a location to store the project.
When finished, you should have a very simple project like this:
Select the project definition and scroll down to the Embedded Binaries panel:
Open a Finder window and locate the location of the SDK Framework files:
Drag the following files to the Embedded Binaries section of your project:
In the dialog that appears, make sure Copy items if needed is checked and click Finish:
Your project should now contain the necessary SDK framework files:
Open the Storyboard and and remove the View Controller in the scene.
From the Object library, drag a Navigation Controller into the scene.
Select the Navigation Controller, and check Is Initial View Controller:
Select the Table View Controller Header and set the title to Scanner Test:
From the menu select File > New > File… and from the dialog, select Cocoa Touch Class:
Click Next.
Provide a name for the class, and make sure it implements
Click Next and then Create
Add the following import statement:
import SAPFiori
Then, add the following fields:
var searchController: FUISearchController?
var scannedBarcodes: [String] = []
var filteredBarcodes: [String] = []
var isFiltered: Bool = false
Next, have the class implement
UISearchResultsUpdating which be used to update search results.
If you now build the project, it will throw an error stating:
type 'ScannerTestController' does not conform to protocol 'UISearchResultsUpdating'
This is because we haven't implemented this protocol's method
updateSearchResults(for searchController:) yet. Add the following method:
func updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController) {
guard let searchString = searchController.searchBar.text, !searchString.isEmpty else {
self.isFiltered = false
self.isFiltered = true
self.filteredBarcodes = scannedBarcodes.filter({
return $0.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains(searchString)
This code checks whether a search string is entered in the search bar, sets the
isFiltered flag and filters the list accordingly. If no search string exists, it returns the unfiltered list.
In method
viewDidLoad(), add the following lines of code:
tableView.register(FUIObjectTableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "FUIObjectTableViewCell")
searchController = FUISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
searchController!.searchResultsUpdater = self
searchController!.searchBar.placeholderText = "Search The List"
searchController!.searchBar.isBarcodeScannerEnabled = true
searchController!.searchBar.barcodeScanner?.scanResultTransformer = { (scanString) -> String in
return scanString
tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController?.searchBar
This code adds the Search Bar and attaches the Barcode Scanner to it. Upon successful scanning, the scanned results will be added to the
scannedBarcodes list.
So no you have the scanning part ready, but nothing yet to show in the Table View.
Modify method
numberOfSections(in tableView:) to return 1:
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
…and modify method
tableView(_ tableView:, numberOfRowsInSection section:) to return the correct number of rows for both filtered as well as unfiltered results:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return isFiltered ? self.filteredBarcodes.count : self.scannedBarcodes.count
Finally, implement the method
tableView(_ tableView:, cellForRowAt indexPath:):
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "FUIObjectTableViewCell", for: indexPath)
guard let objectCell = cell as? FUIObjectTableViewCell else {
return cell
objectCell.headlineText = isFiltered ? filteredBarcodes[indexPath.row] : scannedBarcodes[indexPath.row]
objectCell.statusText = String(indexPath.row)
return objectCell
Go to the Storyboard, select the Scanner Test controller, and assign it to the custom class:
Since the Barcode Scanner uses the camera, you need to give permissions to the app to use it.
Open the
info.plist file and add the following entry:
|Privacy - Camera Usage Description
$(PRODUCT_NAME) needs to use the camera as a barcode scanner
If you now build and run the app on your physical device, you should see the following:
If you now tap the small barcode icon in the search bar, the Barcode Scanner view opens. Try to scan a barcode:
Any scanned barcode will be added to the list:
And it also works with QR codes:

As you set sail from the mainland across the glittering sea, Koh Chang (Elephant Island), covered in thick forest and with a vivid, sweeping skyline, rises up to meet you. At 40 km long and 16 km wide, it is Thailand's second biggest island after Phuket and is one of 52 mostly uninhabited islands of varying sizes that form the Koh Chang National Park, an archipelago that stretches right towards the Cambodian border.
Koh Chang's teeming wildlife, rustic appeal and wonderful beaches have long attracted travellers but it remained a little-known paradise for many years. With a few locals, even fewer backpackers and little or no development, its rugged mountains and verdant jungle were seemingly left behind in the rush for tourism that gripped the rest of Thailand. However, over the last few years, Koh Chang has become a fully-fledged travel destination, attracting everyone from backpackers to weekending Bangkokians to international package tourists, with facilities and accommodation to match, especially along the west coast.
Yet, in spite of these massive changes, Koh Chang still retains its laid-back charm and, because of the island's size, each area (or beach) has its own atmosphere, so that all visitors should find somewhere to suit their needs and tastes. The east and southeast of the island have much less development than the western coast.
Here, the villages are still reminiscent of Koh Chang before the surge in tourism and can feel quite remote.
Koh Changs' interior is also largely untouched, a rugged, largely inaccessible virgin rainforest filled with waterfalls, jungle tracks and a colourful noisy population of tropical birds and forest beasties, such as wild pig, Javan mongoose, silvered langur and snakes such as the king cobra. You may not see any of these creatures but monkeys abound; whole troops come down to the road to be fed by the tourists.
The waters of the Koh Chang National Park offer some great opportunities for diving and snorkelling. Reefs of hard and soft corals, including massive, columnar and stagshorn, are found at depths of 5 m to 25 m and support the full range of tropical fish, from blue-tipped rays, moray eels and trigger fish, to grouper and batfish. Turtles, whale sharks and dolphins are frequently spotted. Of the other islands, Koh Kood, Koh Mak and Koh Wai are the best-known and most visited.

The Lancaster Bruins, between the Region III-AAA varsity twin bill with Broome High School, presented banners in recognition of the recent LHS region champions – volleyball, girls basketball and boys and girls swimming.
The Bruins, in both ends of the home doubleheader Wednesday night, boosted their hopes of adding future banners for possible league titles for the 2015-16 basketball season.
The Lancaster High teams, with a sweep of Broome, stayed unbeaten in region play with two wins over the visiting Centurions.
Andrew Jackson is atop the Class AA boys state basketball rankings.
The Volunteers, of coach Danny Wright, are 13-2, including a 7-0 record in Region IV-AA. The latest state rankings, handled by the S.C. Basketball Coaches Association, were released Monday.
Wright said he's elated with the Vols' top ranking.

The Volunteers, of coach Danny Wright, are 13-2, including a 7-0 record in Region IV-AA basketball play.
The latest state rankings, handled by the S.C. Basketball Coaches Association, were released Monday.
AJ, in the previous state poll, which came out Jan. 11, was ranked sixth in the Class AA boys state top 10.
The Vols were fourth in the Class AA preseason state poll, which was released in late November.
Buford High School girls soccer coach Bob Bowen is due a special honor.
Bowen, an outstanding goalie during his college soccer career at Winthrop University, will be inducted into the Winthrop University Athletics Hall of Fame.
The ceremony is set for Jan. 29 in the Richardson Ballroom of the DiGiorgio Campus Center at 6 p.m.
In a make-up game, the Indian Land Warriors came out looking good.
IL, in a Region IV-AA game reset from Friday night to Jan. 25 due to the winter weather, swept the host Cheraw Braves in the CHS gym.
The Lady Warriors opened with a 43-39 win and the IL boys capped the hoops broom job with an exciting 67-66 victory.
Shamon Alston's trey in the closing seconds gave the Warriors a one-point lead and they held on for the narrow win.
The NFC Champion and Super Bowl 50-bound Carolina Panthers insist they will follow the same game plan, which has been a fine formula for their success this season.
The Cats say they will use the two-week preparation plan they followed at the end of the regular season to the divisional playoff game with Seattle. Following the Carolina Blue-print for success has set the Panthers as the "cat's meow," with a distinct roar across the NFL.
One tweak for the Panthers is their attire for Super Bowl L.
Indian Land High School freshman kicker Brandon Dickerson is taking his game to the international level to play in an elite football setting.
Dickerson, the Junior Warriors Special Teams Award winner last season, will play in the International Bowl on Feb. 5 at the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Dickerson, at 5-8, 150 pounds, will leave Jan. 31 for a week of preparation for the game, which will pit his U16 USA football team against an U16 Canadian team. The game will air on ESPN at 1 p.m. Feb. 5.

The girls' game tips off at 6:15, with the boys' game at 7:30 Wednesday. The move was due to the impact of the winter storm in the Spartanburg area over the weekend.

The Bruins' home wrestling match with Chester, set for the LHS gym Jan. 25, was moved to Tuesday in Chester.

The Bruins' winners against Keenan included Tyree Brown-Washington, Jamari Hubbard, Matt Duffell-Hoffman, Chris Gonzalez, Martin Alexander, Anthony Stephens and Brysaan Jowers.
LHS wrestling coach Rob Hill noted Alexander, at 126, posted a second-period pin against the KHS Raiders to seal the six-point win in the match.
The winter storm, which closed Lancaster County schools on Jan. 22, also put a freeze on the prep high school basketball schedules.
Hoops games scheduled for Friday night were postponed to a future date.
Lancaster High School was slated to visit South Pointe of Rock Hill for a Region III-AAA varsity basketball doubleheader on Friday night, but the game was reset to Feb. 11, a Thursday.

University of Alabama football fans traveling to College Station for Saturday's much-hyped matchup with Texas A&M can also look forward to the school's military traditions, plenty of options for Tex-Mex food and the opportunity to visit the 41st president's library and museum.
University of Alabama football fans traveling to College Station for Saturday's much-hyped matchup with Texas A&M can also look forward to the school's military traditions, plenty of options for Tex-Mex food and the opportunity to visit the 41st president's library and museum.
This will be the Alabama football team's first visit to College Station since a 30-10 Tide win on Dec. 1, 1988, in game known as the "Hurricane Bowl." The game, originally scheduled for September of that year, was delayed because of the threat of Hurricane Gilbert.
The two schools also share several coaching ties, with Paul W. "Bear" Bryant, Gene Stallings and Dennis Franchione having coached both programs.
Ross Brandy of the Bryan-College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau said that a must-see game-day experience for football fans will be watching the Aggies Corps of Cadets march to the Kyle Field Stadium from the Memorial Student Center, a building dedicated to the Aggies who lost their lives in World War II.
Texas A&M's ROTC program is the largest uniformed body of students outside the service academies, he said.
Another college football tradition will be in College Station on Saturday as Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit anchor ESPN's "College GameDay" broadcast.
For Alabama fans who still want the feel of the Quad on Saturday, the University of Alabama Alumni Association will sponsor Tailgatin' With the Tide from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at Simpson Drill Field near Gene Stallings Boulevard.
The event will be adjacent to the set of "College GameDay."
Cost is $50 for adults and $25 for children. The event includes a Tex-Mex game day buffet as well as appearances by the Alabama cheerleaders and Big Al.
Brandy said that the most popular attraction in the College Station area is the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, 1000 George Bush Drive W. The library and museum offers a number of historical records and artifacts of the 41st president. The site is open 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $5.
Downtown Bryan is 5 miles from Texas A&M University, and is home to many boutiques, restaurants, concert and event venues and art galleries.
The Aggie-owned and operated Messina Hof Winery and Resort, 4545 Old Reliance Road in Bryan, is also very popular, Brandy said. Wine tasting and tours of the vineyard are available.
And for hungry football fans, Brandy had several suggestions: Los Cucos, 1521 S Texas Ave. in College Station, Casa de Rodriguez Restaurant, 300 N. Bryan Ave., and Papa Perez Mexican Cuisine, 200 S Main St. in Bryan.
For barbecue, Brandy recommended C&J BBQ, 1010 S Texas Ave. in Bryan.
